Dinero 8-24: Successes and kisses!

  • Rafa's lecture on successful relationships continues from yesterday (turns out he was hauled in because he was confused with Lombardo Medina, the intended speaker). "Treat your wife as well as you treat your car; love is a big accident; we collide with our beloved; we have to pay a deductible; love with patience!" (Which last bit of wisdom goes well with the advice Ale's ghost mama gave her: "Learn to forgive.")

    He gets a standing ovation. Marian gets all mushy. Outside, a young couple gushes to him: you saved our marriage!

    Marian points out they have completely missed the meeting they were in a hurry to attend, but he'll get another chance to unload the trucks later.

    Meanwhile, she takes him on a tour of the city, adding kisses when possible. In Monterrey, the vaccine for vitiligo (bleaching of skin color) was invented. They eat goat. FF>>

    Some musicians who are ostentatiously idle, wandering around carrying instruments and wearing violently pink jackets, mosey up to our happy pareja. It just sort of happens that Rafa sings a song with them, it has great rhythm: "I'm the fizz." Closeup of his awful footwork. FF>>

  • Vicky defensively tells Marco, in the sexologist's waiting room, that little incidents such as her wedding foul-up "happen in the best families."

    Jimenez comes out floating on air, my goodness what's going on behind the sexologist's door, no don't tell me I don't want to know, then it's Marco's turn. It's not lost on him that Vicki's dad has a lotta lana.

  • Ale counts her share of the money, complaining that it's cash again. Beltran and Arcadia are happy she's back, that their "dynamic duo" will be reunited.

    Arcadia asks, why do you have this face for a funeral when you're just married? Arcadia will be throwing herself a big birthday bash in Cuernavaca this weekend and everybody's invited.

  • Marian has a buyer for the trucks and sics Rafael on him in the sauna. Rafa says he'd like the sauna fine if only it were less hot and humid, he prefers his shower at home.

    He endears himself to the guy next to him who just happens to be Engineer Morales, the live one, who is happy to be talked into the sale. He will visit D.F. to see the trucks and will pay - cash.

  • Marco comes home and tells Ale the sexologist can effect a cure, but in the mean time, they should sleep separately. Ale is pleased about that.

    (Marco thought-bubbles: "I won't tell her I saw Vicki there, that's the most vulgar family I've seen in my life!")

  • Rosaura and Generala are dining (and eating cheap cookies). Generala gets Rosaura to admit that, though Pepeto is vulgar, primitive, poor, and a Cro-Magnon, he's growing on her. "But I'm married!" "Yeah, but to a jerk."

  • Marian and Rafa are at dinner celebrating his sales and there is about to be a kiss planted on her ultra-puffy lips when - Daniel the sotted snob appears, sits down, drinks their champagne, makes fun of Rafa's occupation and his modest success ("if you were talking millions of dollars - or euros - that would be more in Marian's league!"), and apropos of nothing boasts about his time in Shanghai with educated people. FF>>

  • In the morning Rafa's mom and Julieta greet him happily. He asks about Jaime. "He asked forgivenness but I told him I hate him and socked him. He doesn't deserve pardon."

  • The Siglo salesforce eagerly awaits morning meeting - what kind of gossip will they reap?

  • Finally, Rafa enters Ale's office, there are big smiles, and - hugs! and kisses! and "I love you with all my soul," "Me too!" Mmmm! wasn't expecting that! What a nice ending to a nice episode.

8/24/10 Schools open and so does Club Gancho

Here in Texas the schools open this week . Each school year has two wonderful days from a students point of view. I think that each student looks forward with great anticipation to the first day of school. Renewing friendships that were put on hold for the summer, seeing who the teachers for that year will be, and for many it will be the only day that they are not behind in their school work. I t also is the beginning for many of the yearning for that other greatly anticipated day... the last day of school. Thus it has always been.

The weather here is HOT. Here are two pictures reflecting our summer ambience:Bonnie Belle and Jack enjoying a cool breeze


Bonnie Belle and BFF Cheyenne jockeying for position in front of fan


Sylvia is home from sailing the bounding main. We celebrate her return to us by featuring a drink that she introduced me to some time ago, The Dark and Stormy, a cool and cooling marriage of rum and ginger beer. Sylvia , we do expect you to regale us with stories of your adventures on the high seas. We were able to follow your progress using the satellite tracking map provided by the Pacific Cup website.

I'm sure other Ganchodores have stories to tell and topics to discuss.

Corazon Salvaje Ep. 130, 8/23/2010 It's a Question of Honor

Review of conversation between Regina and Renato, then Regina saying you are like your mother and my father, egotistical, will do anything to get what you want. The things I used to love about you are gone, there is nothing tying us together anymore, we are different now. Give it up already Renato!

Juan is talking to Remigio who says they were right, Lulu is gone, he tried to get her to stay but it's too late. He starts to tell Juan not to make the same mistake, but Juan is still on fire angry and won't listen. Then he tells Remi he saw Arcadio. He tried to catch him to confront him but he got away. He says Arca is going to pay for what he did to his mother.

Mariela asks Lulu if she is really sure about leaving. Lulu says she is, she has to go, but she wants permission to say goodbye to a friend. Mari says of course.

Don Alberto is at the notario office confronting Noel about his love poem to Mariela. He says Noel is a married man and he doesn't want Mariela to suffer anymore. He demands that Noel leave her alone. Noel says excuse my behavior, you have every right to be saying this, I would do the same as a father and I promise I will leave Mariela alone. After Don Alberto leaves, Noel says to himself that once again he won't be loved, he is destined to seek but not find love.

Lulu is saying goodbye to Felipe. He is heartbroken and sobbing, he will miss her so much. First Madame Marlene left, then Brigitte was killed, now Lulu is leaving, Mon Dieu, c'est trop! Lulu tells him he has a good job with Noel who is a good man. Then Felipe opens the folder he has with said notario's documents which start flying all over in comic relief. Lulu helps him recover them.

Mariela and Jim/Angela are strolling along by the water. They see Noel coming towards them and Mari asks Jim/Ange if she looks okay. Noel says good day, it's a beautiful afternoon. He is awkward and leaves quickly telling them it was good to see them. They look at each other puzzled as he hurries away.

Fulgencio is taking his constitution and a number of fellow dons come up and tell him how sorry they are for him. He says to himself they all have compassion for me and see me as the victim, there is no way they will suspect me. He ambivalently pats himself on the back for being so clever.

Regina is at the notario's office showing him the false annulment and telling Noel how Renato must have done this. Noel is shocked, no puede ser! He couldn't have done this without your permission, you would have had to sign with the priest and I think he said something about a lawyer. Regi says she never signed anything. Noel says he will find out if it is forged and compare it to some other documents.

Juan is still being enraged and jealous and telling Gabe what happened, that their marriage is no more. Gabe finds it hard to believe Regina would have had anything to do with that. He tries to talk some sense into Juan who won't listen. He says if Regi would be happier with Renato then he'll let her go. Gabe says maybe you can be happy with someone else, too, Juan says no way! I had fun with Aimee, but I love Regina with all my soul. Gabe tells him he is obsessed and that he shouldn't do something unjust because of jealousy.

Back to Noel and Regi. He shows her that the writing doesn't match, for sure it was Aimee. Regi is distressed and dismayed, of course, Aimee, she says, their writing is similar. Regi clutches her stomach and looks faint. Noel asks her if she is okay, if she is ill. She tells him no, not to worry, she is expecting Juan's child. Noel is very happy for her.

Regi is with Renato furious at him for what he did. She says she knows it was Aimee who forged her signature. Renato says I know she did because I made her do it. He tells her he did it only with the intent of love, of getting her back. Regi is at her wit's end with this man. We flash back to Juan and Gabe and Colibri is telling Juan he saw Regina go into the notario's and then to Renato. Juan turns to Gabe and says "See, what did I tell you!" Did Juan tell Colibri to spy on Regi? Juan comes bursting into Renato's study and he and Renato yell at each other, threatening, and agree to a duel to the death at pinon del diablo. Through this Regi is trying to get them to stop. Juan whisks Regina away. After they are gone Renato once again echoes the last samurai and ceremoniously opens his sword case and starts polishing his swords.

Juan and Regi are in the carriage with Juan still looking sullen and angry. Regi looks sick and like she is going to faint, clutching her stomach. Suddenly Juan realizes maybe he should be concerned and asks her what is wrong. She says she hadn't told him but she is expecting his child. Juan smiles that big smile and both look really happy. Regi begs him not to fight Renato but Juan says do you want me to look like a coward, this doesn't go far as Regi passes out. Juan shouts at the driver to take them to the doc's.

Capt. Breton aka the new Aguacil is talking to the soldiers about how the MdO's appear to be upright and honest but they are really evil lying monsters. He says Rod and Leo are starting to accuse each other and that they need to keep the pressure on both of them until one of them cracks.

Rod is in his bedroom thinking about how he knows Leo is going to betray him. The maid knocks and he asks her to put away his clean clothes. As she is putting them in a drawer a pink lady's glove falls onto the floor (I'm presuming Brigitte's). She puts it back with the clothes in the drawer.

Rod goes to the dungeon at the finca to see Arcadio. He says he knows they haven't been the best of buddies but it would behoove them to be allies now. Arcadio agrees. He says he trusts Rodrigo, that he is a man of his word. Rod asks him to keep up the pretense with Leo that he is going to do what she wants. Arcadio will follow Rod's orders. Rod says hey, why did you follow her orders all those years anyway? Arcadio pauses and then says it - because we were lovers. She couldn't find a man to please her, so I was there. Rod is disgusted, he says he never loved Leonarda, just used her, she is a vile woman who doesn't deserve anyone's love. Arca looks a little doubtful at this.

We see Leo sneaking up to the finca saying to herself she knows Rod is going to betray her and she needs to see Arcadio. Leo comes calling into the dungeon and Arca tells Rod to hide. He finally answers Leo who asks him why he took so long. Arcadio tells her they have to lay low, no one should see him because someone would try to kill him. She agrees and talks about that infeliz Rodrigo and the surprise she has for him. Rodrigo listening to this says she is the one who will be surprised, she will cry tears of blood.

Back at the Doc's office Juan brings in the unconscious Regina. Doc Miranda says, you didn't know she was pregnant? I know she was happy about it, I thought she would have told you. Juan is like, no I'm an idiot, I wouldn't listen. She tried to tell me, Clemencia tried to tell me and I wouldn't listen!

Back at the finca, Arcadio is hanging out in the big house and opening a bottle. Uh oh. He toasts to himself in the mirror for being such a genius. He always dreamed he would be master of the finca and master of Leonarda. His sarcasm is stunning. He play-acts being the master of the house, graciously ushering in guests, then says to himself if he can't have that, he will sure as sh**t cause trouble for those two idiots Rod and Leo. (As bad as he is, I love Arcadio's sense of humor).

We see Juan by Regina's bedside through the night, caring for her, not sleeping. I'm wondering how he's going to have the energy to fight. Dawn breaks. He tells Regi if she can hear him to wait for him, to be strong for him and their child. He kisses her hand, then kisses her lips, but unlike sleeping beauty she doesn't wake up. The Doc comes back and Juan tells him he has to go, he has an appointment with destiny. That if everything goes well he will be back, but if not, to please tell Regina he begs her forgiveness, he has been stupid, he loves her and she is the most important thing in his life. He wants her to remember him with happiness. Doc wants to know where he is going. Juan says you'll know soon, don't forget.

We have dramatic clouds, sun, waves, and Juan is at Pinon del Diablo. He is at his mother's grave asking for forgiveness that he is going to fight Renato. He tells her it is not a question of vengeance, but of honor, that Regina is carrying his child. He asks for her blessing wherever she may be.

Renato is riding up on a white horse yelling, Juan del Diablo, are you ready to die?! Juan makes the sign of the cross and approaches Renato on horseback as well. Juan says "At last we're alone, at last we are alone and no one can interfere. The hour has come." They draw swords, swipe at each other then ride off and turn around, sword jousting for awhile. Renato sways in the saddle almost falling and Juan pushes him the rest of the way.

Colibri is with the Doc and Doc wants him to find out where Juan has gone. Just then Regina is raving in her sleep saying Juan and Renato are fighting at Pinon del Diable. Doc tells Coli to run to the fishermen and get them to go stop Juan. As Colibri leaves, Capt. Breton appears wanting to talk about the case against the Montes de Locas. He tells Doc that he suspects Rod and Leo did arrange the accident that killed his uncle but he doesn't have any proof. He wants to know if there were any employees at the finca who might remember anything. Doc says Rosendas's Dad was there, but with him being dead I'm not sure if he's thinking Rosenda will remember something, or Madame?

The Pescadores and Remigio are going to go to Pinon and stop Juan and Renato. Then we're back to the sword fight. Renato says this is a fight to the death, if you have anything to repent you'd better do it now. Juan says no, Ren says me neither. They proceed whacking at each other with double swords now. Ren is down but Juan doesn't kill him - he says you had my marriage annulled didn't you?!! More fighting and Juan is down, he says he will go back alive because Regina is carrying his child. Ren is enraged by this and is about to skewer Juan but he rolls out of the way.

Colibri is at Noel's telling him and Clemencia what has happened. Clem is going to Regi and Noel is going to get another boat and help stop Juan and Ren.

The fight continues with fists now, knocking each other down, wrestling. We see both boats speeding towards the pinon (as much as they can), the fishermen are yelling at Juan, Noel is shouting at Renato. All see that it is a fight to the death and are horrified, continue yelling to try to stop them. In their wrestling Ren has ended up over the cliff holding onto Juan's arm. Juan tries to save him, to pull him up, but Ren doesn't want to be saved and lets go. Juan jumps off after him. The pescadores, Noel and Colibri see this and are aghast, shouting, crying, rapido, they have to save them! End.

Llena de Amor #11 Mon 8/23/10 Somebody hide the cutlery

Friday’s leftovers, cold from the fridge: Lorenza and Muñeca have come to dine at Emiliano and Fedra’s. Marianela’s not expected, so of course for Fedra and Kristel, it’s open season on Marianela, and they fire away with merry insults. Emanuel comes in and calls them hypocrites. They don’t seem at all hypocritical to me… they sure are candid with their insults. Anyway, Muñeca seems horrified by their comments.


******

Oh, this is what Emanuel means when he says they’re hypocrites: He accuses Kristel of having set up this so-called welcome dinner so that they could talk about Marianela like she was a circus freak. He tells them she’s where she belongs, at her Tia Netty’s.

Bernardo has hold of Delicia in his room, scaring her. Her cap is awry and somebody is knocking, telling her to get down and start serving dinner. She swears she’ll never come into Bernardo’s room again. He turns her loose and slaps her and menaces her some more. She runs out.

Emiliano tells Emanuel that Marianela shouldn’t have been taken from the house without his permission. Emanuel points out that Netty is her tia, and for sure nobody there is going to throw fake welcome parties just to humiliate her. Kristel fake cries that she just wanted to help her get over her traumas, to which Emanuel says like the trauma of getting her drunk in the club to make a fool of her? Kristel simpers.

Emiliano tells him to go fetch her home. Emanuel refuses, saying he took her downtown today and doesn’t want to even talk about what happened to her there. He tells his father it’s the first time in his life that he’s refusing to obey, and he’s sorry, but that’s the way it is.

Marianela is telling Netty she feels out of place – she had wanted to return to her home, but with her mother. Netty wants to know if they’re mistreating her, and Marianela says that she just dropped into their household, and they’re not used to her. She feels bad about it. Netty tells her she’s the dueña of that house, and dueñas don’t go around feeling sorry, they insist on what’s theirs.

Marianela doesn’t think she has the nerve. Netty shows her a picture of her mother Eva and tells her to get brave and fulfill her last wishes. Marianela says she feels so alone, but Netty says she’ll go into battle at her side. Then she tells her she’ll show her what they do in her house to chase away loneliness, and gives her a big hug.

Emiliano has gone to give his son a talking to. He says that’s no way to resolve family problems.
Emanuel: Well, you’ve seen what’s going on, and you haven’t done anything.
Emiliano: You think I can actually change Fedra and Kristel’s personalities?
Emanuel: That’d be too much to expect, but I’m sure as hell not going to stand by and do nothing, and just watch them destroy my cousin.
Emiliano: Nobody’s going to destroy anybody here. What really hurts is that you, my greatest pride and joy, would deal me such a blow.
Emanuel: It hurts me too, but it hurts me to know that I come from this kind of family.

Meantime, Fedra is downstairs in the living room pouring her poison in Muñeca and Lorenzo’s ears. She tells them they haven’t had a moment’s peace since Marianela showed up, and look at that – her own son has turned against her. Muñeca says that he mentioned something about treating her badly….?

Muñeca is our little canary in the mine, and we know what usually happens to those canaries, so it’s worrisome. Back to our story..

Muñeca decides she’ll go see her padrino, and she leaves, inadvertently casting an unguarded look of worried disapproval. After she’s gone, Fedra skitches over closer to Lorenzo and seductively tells him she doesn’t know how he puts up with Muñeca. Me either, he says and they leer at each other.

Letty hauls Marianela into the living room where the music is blasting, the hanging plants are gushing, and some of our group of residents are dancing. See? she tells Marianela, in this house there’s no room for sadness and certainly not for loneliness. Oliver grabs Netty and starts dancing with her, and Brandon overcomes Marianela’s protests and gets her out and dancing.

Emiliano is giving it another try. He goes into Emanuel’s room to reason with him and says Marianela can’t stay at Netty’s – it’s not a good environment. Emanuel snorts And this zoo is? Emiliano points out that it’s her house, to which Emanuel counters that it shouldn’t be her prison. She should be the one to decide.

His father wants to know how Emanuel knows she likes it better at Netty’s – did she say so? Nope, but her eyes sparkled at the prospect of more time there, and Netty received her with open arms. Marianela needs to decide, and we need to respect her decision.

At Netty’s, the fast dance number is over and a slow one starts up. She feels shy, but Brandon talks her into dancing this one with him too. He rocks her back and forth, prom-dance style and she closes her eyes dreamily. Pretty soon it’s Emanuel she dreams she’s dancing with. Ay, Emanuel! she sighs and Brandon steps back, startled. She denies she said anything, but Brandon kindly asks her if she likes that guy. She fiddles with her glasses nervously.

Muñeca’s padrino is the old general, and he’s upset to hear that Marianela is at Netty’s. Why, she’s an actress! She must lead a scandalous life. He likes Netty actually, but the world of theater – whooheee. Who knows what kind of riff raff she must be living with! Muñeca defends her, but he tells her to go snatch Marianela right now from that den of iniquity.

Kristel and Mauricio are necking in a lounger out by the pool. Kristel has on skin-tight leather pants which for sure will protect her against the night mosquitoes and maybe against Mauricio. Emiliano hollers for her, and Mauricio dives for the bushes.

Emiliano is furious about the drunk pumpkin revelation. He tells her that if she bugs Marianela again, there will be consequences. Kirstel pokes her lower lip out.

Marianela protests that she didn’t say anything about Emanuel, but Brandon sees through her. He’s has a policeman’s nose for sniffing things out, he tells her, and he can tell she’s in love. She looks stunned.

Ilitia is draped on Emanuel’s bed when he comes in and is startled, but not unhappy. She sulks that he hasn’t spent much time with her, and that she needs lot of hugs and kisses. He says in a bit, he has to get dressed. She tells him here she’s going through the worst time of her life and he’s not there for her. He’s laughs about the worst time of her life. She says you don’t know what happened – you’re always taken up with the gordita.

Brandon is telling Marianela he can just tell – he sees it in her eyes. Marianela is having a little asthma attack and denying it all. He’s my cousin! My friend! He has a girlfriend! He’s in love with her! And look at me! I’m fat.

Brandon starts to be alarmed by her asthma attack.

Muñeca rejoins the dinner group, who are still having cocktails. She wants to go find Ilitia, but Emiliano tells her she’s gone up to readjust Emanuel’s mood. She says the general is a little agitated, and it’s her fault, since she told him Marianela is at Netty’s.

Fedra looks at the two of them talking and says to Lorenzo that they were made for each other. Lorenzo brings up that they were once engaged. Fedra takes a sip of her champagne and wonders if he’s going to get all jealous. He tells her he knows very well how to keep his emotions in hand. He asks how long since she’s seen her fashion designer (modisto). She gives a throaty chuckle and makes eyes at him. She says maybe he’ll make her a dress – form fitting?

Now everybody at Netty’s is scared by Marianela’s asthma. She says she needs to go home. Did she forget her inhaler? She faints.

Ilitia is giving Emanuel a disjointed account of what happened at the airport. She was taken hostage! Well, maybe not her, but this policeman trapped her in there and somebody took photos and now it’s in all the magazines and all over the internet. Emanuel can’t figure out why a policeman would do that or why it cost her her modeling contract. She tells him they’re saying she was raped in a men’s room.

Fedra is griping about the stupid dinner for Marianela. Emiliano is annoyed and asks her if Marianela even knew about it. Fedra says she didn’t need to ask her – she lives here, doesn’t she?

Muñeca asks Fedra if she’s having a problem with Emiliano – they look upset. Fedra waves it off as just being a little something about Marianela’s dinner. Muñeca observes that it’s hard to keep a man happy. Fedra happily pounces on that and asks if she’s having a problem with Lorenzo. Muñeca says she can tell her - she feels like he doesn’t love her any more. Fedra simpers in fake sympathy.

Emanuel suddenly gets it that the policeman at the club is the same one from the airport men’s room. Why didn’t you tell me? I would have pounded him flat! He shouldn’t be working as a policeman! Oooooo, says Ilitia, you’re hot when you get all wound up like that. She goes over and starts kissing on him, and he resists, but it’s futile. They end up on the bed.

But Emanuel bounces up and says not right now. Ilitia kisses him some more, but he’s not in the mood. Not right now, he says again. She’s crushed and says he doesn’t kiss her like before, doesn’t he love her any more? He says of course I do, I just don’t feel good right now.

She sulks that her career just evaporated and now her boyfriend doesn’t love her any more. He tells her to act more grown up. She says that ever since that cousin of his showed up, he just interested in her. Is he in love with la gorda?


Outside Netty’s, Brandon is trying to hold up unconscious Marianela while Oliver goes for the car. Everyone is anxiously fanning her. They tell the little boy to go help Brandon hold her up, and Oliver drives up and jumps out. He tries to help too, but over she goes on top of Brandon.

They’ve gotten Marianela vertical, but she tips forward and Oliver is crushed between her dead weight and the car. Oliver thinks she isn’t breathing. Netty panics and falls to her knees, calling on the saints.

Now, here are two guys who dress up like Darth Vader and eliminate whole gangs of baddies, but they are immobilized by one roly poly girl? Well anyway, here comes a doctor, black bag and nerdy glasses and all, to the rescue.

Emanuel thinks the idea of his being in love with Marianela is a hoot. Ilitia confesses she was a little jealous. He laughs some more and she relaxes and says it would be stupid of him to fall in love with somebody such a big ball of fat. She carries on in that vein a little and, with a look of distaste, he tells her to dial it down. Don’t you realize she’s one big ball of love? Ilitia frowns. She’s my cousin! he laughs.

He smilingly tells her to get herself to some other part of the house. Suddenly she’s furious and she stomps out, saying she’ll never forgive him for this.

Kristel and Marucio are getting it on hot and heavy on a lounger out in the garden. She makes him swear he’ll never run off with anybody else. He swears, and wants to go up to her room, but she’s afraid of him being caught there again, and says they’re better off where they are. Behind a tree, we see Benigno the groundsman. Marucio spots him and tries to pull her away. Oh, it’s you two, says Benigno, who’s holding a bucket. I thought it was a couple of dogs and I was going to throw this on them.

Emanuel has dressed and is coming down to join everyone, just as Ilitia is fleeing crying into her daddy’s arms. Her daddy wants to know what he did to her. She tells everyone – he threw me out of his room! I just wanted to be with him and tell him all the horrible things that have happened to me, and he threw me out.

Fedra reproaches him – first that scene a few minutes ago and now this. What’s up with him? What’s up with me? he says. Okay. Lorenzo, your daughter is spoiled. She’s used to getting her way on every little thing. If she doesn’t shape up and grow up, it’s over.

Back to Kristel and Mauricio, who wants to know what Benigno is doing there. Benigno said he wanted to take some fresh air, and it looks like they did too because they look hot. They say it’s not what it looks like. He tells them just not to trample his plants. Oh, and look out for Fedra.

Fedra tries to calm Emanuel, who is already very calm. Ilitia claims that he has somebody else, which Emanuel of course denies. Muñeca tells her daughter to believe her novio. Ilitia stamps her foot and says Muñeca’s taking his side. Her daddy defends her though, and Emanuel tells everyone look, I’ve had a very bad day, that’s all.

Fedra hisses at him that he’s engaged to her and he’s going to keep his promise. Emiliano asks them all to calm down. Let’s just go have dinner. Suddenly Fedra realizes Kristel and Maricio aren’t there.

Outside, Kristel thinks Mauricio was silly to be worried about the gardener. Still, maybe he’d tell. They’re both worried somebody will catch them, but Mauricio wants to start necking again.

Marianela is out cold, probably sleeping, on a bed at Letty’s. Letty fidgets that she totally forgot about Marianela’s asthma. The doctor tells her that he’s given Marianela something to open up her airways, and something to sleep, so she’ll be fine. Poor thing! Says Letty. Nearsighted, orphaned, fat, and on top of all that, asthmatic. What’s next? A rabid dog biting her?

The doctor tells her when Mama Dolores came for him, he was scared something had happened to Netty but she says naw, she tougher than hate. He notices the sling and she raves about Marianela doing that. She takes her arm out and I’m surprised to see she has a cast. Did Marianela set her arm? Holy cow. Anyway, she tells the doctor she’d like to have the darned thing off, and without asking how long it’d been on there, he says it looks like it can come off. Looks like he’s going to do it on the spot. He tells her she’s fine, the only thing that needs healing is her heart.

Finally everyone is seated at the dinner table. Everyone, that is except Kristel. The maid says they’ve looked everywhere. Emiliano rises, about to go look for her, when here she comes, her hair in disarray, saying she had just gone up to her room to fix her hair. She pets it and realizes it’s sticking up. Everyone looks at her doubtfully.

And where is Maurcio? She fakes that she left him there with them, so where could he be? He comes sauntering in, apologizing. Muñeca tries to resuscitate the evening by proposing a toast to friendship. Lorenzo agrees, saying he’s sure Emanuel and Ilitia will sort out their problems very shortly. Ilitia smiles and leans on Emanuel, and everyone toasts. Gretel says she wants to toast to someone special too. Fedra is taken aback.

Doris is telling Brandon off for telling Marianela not to fall in love with her cousin. (Did that scene end up on the cutting room floor?) He says he doesn’t want to see her get her heart broken; a guy like that would never fall for her. Doris disagrees saying that Emanuel is a great guy. Oliver agrees and says anyway Marianela should find a fat guy. That makes Doris furious – why can’t Marianela take up with any guy, why does it have to be a fat guy? She calls them a couple of animals and stomps off.

Fedra doesn’t want Gretel to toast, but Emiliano says let her. Gretel toasts the lady of the house, Fedra, the most dignified and honest woman she knows. Fedra stares at her, and everyone looks a little uncomfortable.

Benigno is with the general, defending Marianela being with Senorita Letty. Senora, corrects the general. You can’t be an actress and be a senora. Beningo says he thought they’d joined forces. Yes, says the general, the enemy of his enemy is his friend.

Beningo tells him about Kristel and Maricio in the garden, trampling his gladiolas. The general thinks Kristel’s the same as her mother, and that her mother’s days are numbered. Beningo is doubtful –Fedra is gaining more power in the house, not losing it, and he thinks Marianela is too nice to take on Fedra. The general stands and declares that she’s a Ruiz ye de Teresa, and has the stuff it takes.

The dinner party is over, and Emiliano tells Emanuel he’s glad it’s over. He’s never been at such a downer of an evening. Emanuel is sorry to hear it. Emiliano says that Ilitia’s right – Emanuel seems to have changed. Axel walks in and says his brother the one who was doing the right thing. Nobody asked your opinion, says Emiliano. Emanuel puts his hand on his brother’s shoulder and says he should be listened to, he’s not a child anymore.

All I know, says Emiliano, is that I don’t want a repeat of this evening. Emiliano protests that all he did was defend Marianela. His father tells him to go get Marianela tomorrow, and no arguments, got it?

Netty is calling to lawyer to see if she can find out about Marianela’s inheritance and her rights. She makes an appointment. Meantime, Doris is making up Consuelo, who holds up a mirror, impressed. She’s been made up as an old lady. Doris dreams of doing makeup for TV. Her mother sure would prefer that to her making up dead folks.

Marianela is up, feeling good it looks like. She apologizes for the trouble and Netty waves that off.

Emanuel is about to set off on his motorcycle when Benigno runs up, and is glad to hear Marianel’s coming, the general will be happy. Emanuel says if it were left to him, he’d let Marianela stay with Letty.

Marianela says she needs to get on home, she’s worried Emiliano will be upset with her for leaving without permission. Brandon offers to drive her home. On the way, he asks her why she wants to go live there with such awful people. She says it’s her home. Brandon says he knows she feels something for her cousin, and she’s going to get hurt. He just can’t keep his mouth shut about it when that’s what he feels.

He also can’t keep his eyes on the road, and doesn’t see Emanuel on his motorcycle and CRASH.

Avances: Netty sees the lawyer. Fedra says something about a fortune to Bernardo and Emiliano overhears and wants to know what she’s talking about. Emanuel is out cold on the pavement.

Dinero Mon. Aug. 23, '10 "When The Moon Is In The Seventh House And Jupiter Aligns With Mars...

Then Peace Will Rule The Planets, And Luuuuuuve Will Steer The Stars...."

But until that day comes, while Alejandra's planets are still out of whack, we have our typical tumult and confusion tonight in Dinero. Vicky, Marco and Jimenez are all simmering in the sexologist's waiting room from Hell, while Rafa gets dragged into the wrong Monterrey conference room to give a stuttering speech on how taking care of your woman is like taking care of your car. Keep the wheels balanced and the spark plugs firing and Love will last. Meanwhile the gossip-mongers at Auto Siglo keep on scheming and muttering and selling nary a vehicle. Just another day down at the shop.

We start the evening though with a visit from the beyond. And not a headless horseman either. Ale's mom appears, complete with heavy green eyeshadow, to give the classic telenovela sermonette on Happiness. Ale is staring at the portrait, weeping and confessing how much she misses her mother. And lo, mother appears. Gently hugging her weeping child, Mamita chides her for failing to realize that she's already got everything she needs to be happy. She's a beautiful, intelligent, professional woman with a career, a loving aunt and father. But Life isn't a whim (capricho). There are problems. One must learn to be generous, humble, forgiving....and willing to find a solution to those inevitable problems. Still, Ale has people all around her who would give anything to make her happy.

Ale: Who? Marco?
Mom: I don't know. Search your heart.

Dang. Don't you hate it when those folks from the beyond make such cryptic statements!?

No matter. Mamita continues I'll always be by your side. Anytime you need me I'll be here. But remember, your life is marvelous. Don't be overwhelmed by problems which CAN be worked out, after all. Be happy, peaceful "no pasa nada" (it's okay).

Ale cries a little more, complains that it's awfully difficult but finally concedes that Mom is right and thanks her. Enter Tia Rosario who's spent an eternity brushing her teeth and promises to "be here" for Ale as well. With that soothing bromide and a glass of milk, Ale is ready for bed. With Tia, not Marco, thank God.

Now sometimes simple phrases and gestures are deep. Or not. The blather going on at Auto Siglo definitely isn't. They're gossiping about Jimenez' early appointment with the sex therapist, the dim future for Rosaura's marriage, the speculation that Pepeto is "ganando terreno" (gaining ground) with the latter and...well, you don't really want me to go on, do you?

Let's drop by the therapist's office and see what's cooking there. Jimenez is staring nervously at Vicky, disheveled in a bridal veil and jeans, flanked by Papa and eyeballed by an equally nervous Marco. What fluke (chiripa) of ill luck brought all of them to this one place at the same time, Jimenez wonders. He manages to make things worse by bringing up the wedding disaster with Rafa. And the therapist is running late. Yikes, this is like some French existentialist play. Our perpetually high-pitched Vicky asks everyone else to lower their tone of voice and we stare goggle-eyed as the first round of ads begin.

Vicky's been thinking while the ads were running and now she recognizes Marco as that arrogant imbecilic clown who tried to take Rafa's house. I'm hoping she'll bite him but her only aggression is to get him in a death-grip when they shake hands. C'mon, Vicky, you can do better than that!

Mientras tanto, good things are happening at the office. In Beltran's opinion anyway. He gets a sackful of money from Medina's truck sale and promises of more. Rafa's asking permission to go to Monterrey with Marian to a tractor trailer truck convention. A great opportunity to flog some more used trucks. All expenses paid by Ms. Celeste of course. Well permission granted! Go sell, sell, my boy, and let her pay the bills, chortles Beltran.

So off he goes. But first he gives Susana a portion of the rest of the money to pass on to Ale. With promises of more when he has it. Susanita raises an eyebrow when she learns he's off on a trip with Marian but says nothing. Rafa and Ale narrowly miss crossing paths when he leaves, but she's off to the side with Trapito, who's nattering on about spare parts. So let's just move on with our story....

Rafa and Marian hop a private plane (he's muttering Padre Nuestro's at warp speed) and arrive in Monterrey where she's greeted by a bevy of reporters asking her how she's going to help solve the dire economic situation the country is facing. Marian briefly discusses the situation with the industry in the north, and how she's just a small part of it, but with development and "la pujanza" (vigor, strength) of these industries, things will get better. (or words to that effect....you know how I am with businessspeak). Meanwhile, Rafa, who in many ways is still like a wayward toddler, wanders off without her and gets himself dragged into the wrong conference. Not only that--he's the featured speaker! And his topic? The Couple in Today's World. Fasten your seat belts folks, while we settle in for another round of ads.

Well, gosh, it wouldn't be Dinero without a politically incorrect gay sighting, would it? Marian frantically ask an Elton John lookalike if he'd seen a trim, nice-looking guy in a blue suit. If I had, I'd keep him, quips our beau. Okay. Done with that.

Rafa is now in front of a bemused crowd and starting to babble about couple hood. It's not easy, he begins. Applause . Meanwhile the camera zeroes in on a worried looking woman and a dyspeptic guy. Clearly these folks need Medina's magical advice. So he soldiers on. When you're living under the same roof, he continues, well, you really have to have patience. Lots of it. And you have to say what you feel. Even if it sticks in your throat, don't choke it back. And if things are really bad, well, clearly you need to see a specialist. Just like you'd go to a mechanic if you were having car troubles. Ah, Medina, now you're talkin'. We ponder these deep truths while another slew of ads comes on.

When we come back, we're in the Auto Siglo meeting room and our lovely Susana is getting insulted by Marino. He calls her an "escualida y horrible aguafiestas" (skinny horrible party pooper). She maintains her composure and dignity, informs them the sales meeting is canceled and sends them back to their posts.

Whilst back at the Monterrey conference room, Marian has slipped in and is listening, entranced, to Rafa's discourse on Try A Little Tenderness. Yes, indeed, if you care for your woman like you care for your car, she'll respond with "su ternura, su cariño, su todo". Whew. And just like that it worked. Not only is Marian smitten (well she was already) but our dyspeptic fella is smiling and holding his lady's hand, all lovey-dovey again. Man, that Rafa's good.

Applause applause. Lecture ended. Hopefully everybody's off to get their wheels balanced and their ashes hauled.

And presto! we find ourselves back in the sex therapist's waiting room where Vicky is eyeing Marco like her next meal. While he's explaining that he remembers her because of her "timbre de voz especial, inolvidable", and único". Couldn't have said it better myself.

Jimenez trots out, evidently having had a jiffy lube type consult. In and out pronto. Marco goes in while Vicky does some more heavy thinking. Yep, he's that arrogant, hateful (odioso) creep who tried to take Rafa's house, she muses....but I can use him. And on that dire note, we end.

Previews:
A repeat of Vicky's thought bubble about using Marco.
Plans for a big whoopin' party (pachangón) at Auto Siglo.
And Rafa and Marian appear to get cosy during their stay in Monterrey

Vocabulary:
se nubla su recuerdo = my memory of you is getting hazy (Ale talking to her mom)
no pasa nada = it's okay, it's alright
chiripada, chiripa = fluke , sheer luck
mitote = trouble
accordéon= cheat sheet (Marino was waving this around while waiting for the sales meeting to start)
cabizbajo = downcast ( Ramirez describing how Ale will look...)
arrastrando la cobija = having the hots for someone, yearning for someone
un bola lambiscones = a bunch of toadies, brown-nosers (Marino insulting the rest of the sales force)
refacciones = spare parts
me llevan las hilachas = I'm losing it (Rafa when he thinks he hears Ale's voice but can't see her)
usted se me hace conocido = you look familiar, don't I know you?
campesino de tres pesos = two bit lout, peasant (Marco's thought bubble about Vicky's dad)
sangrona = annoying person (Vicky's thought bubble about Marco)
muy apurada = in a big hurry (Marian trying to fend off the reporters)
bien regio = really regal, great (Rafa looking at the posh hotel where the conference is held)
mañoso = difficult (Rafa describing the problems a couple can face)
la pujanza = vigor, strength

Phrase of the Day:

Para eso me pinto solo That's what I'm really good at. (Could be said about Rafa who seems capable of talking his way out of any mess)

Llena de Amor #10 Fri 8/20/10

Thanks to everyone all week for the great recaps! I want to be more involved in the commenting, etc, but I got behind on episodes right off the bat and couldn’t keep up. Then, I have been super sick all weekend. Ugh. On a positive note – I just found out today that I passed the CPA exam, something I have been working towards for YEARS. I passed all four sections on the first try, without forking over $1000+ for a review class. I just used a set of review books and lots and lots and LOTS of studying. Woo hoo!

I guess the brown powder dumped all over Marianela was hot chocolate mix or something, Emanuel demands an explanation. Marianela again gets annoyed at Emanuel, that’s once today already. OOhhh does that get tiring.

Camila comes into Ilitia’s room and complains about the loud music, she has been knocking forever! I’ll just summarize Ilitia’s actions by saying that she is being bitchy. Anyway, Camila thinks she knows where Lorenzo was last night, and who with. She starts talking about a dream she had (I think), where some lady called her Muneca, not her given name Camila, and then… Ilitia has heard enough and is leaving. She reminds Camila that they are all having dinner at the house of horrors later and flounces out, leaving Camila to cry and talk to herself.

Emanuel is upset that whenever something bad happens, he’s right there, and Marianela blames him. We’re tired of it too dude, believe me. Andres tries to cheer him up but it doesn’t work. News comes back that Marianela is super upset and won’t stop crying.

Marianela is taking a shower and crying.

I guess Brandon is also on the SWAT team, a man of many talents. The entire team is ready to go on some job but they are waiting on him, he showed up late. His boss gives him a hard time about it. They are going to take down some gang, the boss tells Brandon to stay with the whole team concept and not try and be a glory hound hot shot. This means of course that we’ll be seeing super hero Brandon.

Netty has her friends going nuts cleaning up the house, Emanuel is bringing Marianela over for a visit! Yay. She goes on and on about how good looking Emanuel is.

The SWAT team moves in. Brandon gets ready to show off. They find a couple old guys, they shoot some other dude coming down the stairs who pulls a gun, then find another guy with a gun, and beyond that a really messy house. Another guy was hiding in the shower. When cuffed, the guys claim to be innocent of any wrongdoing. Bossman says “then why do you have so many guns?” Good question. Brandon shows up and says they searched and the house doesn’t have the stolen goods, or whatever they are looking for. He acts all tough in front of the bad guys, who are arrested and taken downtown for questioning.

Across the street, Lorenzo watches the SWAT team come out and says ‘very good, those guys keep their word’, apparently about the bad guys. He turns around to ogle the chicks in the room with him. So Lorenzo is up to more than just being a male slut.

Yawn another fight between Emanuel and Marianela. It’s not even worth going over the details. You know how it is by now. Some lady comes in and gives Mari (I’m going to shorten it, it’s too long to type it all out.) a box of the weight loss pills. Emanuel takes them and smashes it on the ground and says he has to complete a promise he made to her, they leave.

Brandon figures they moved the goods before they got there, he vows to get to the bottom of it.

Emanuel takes Mari to Netty’s house on a super cool three wheeler/motorcycle thing. Now she loves him again. It will change in minutes I’m sure.

Netty is having an acting class, Mari’s arrival interrupts it. Netty is happy. She drools on Emanuel some more. Brandon shows up, he and Emanuel bump chests. Mari says she saw him somewhere before but doesn’t remember where. Through the bottom of a glass! The students rush out. Netty demands an explanation. More chest bumping. It almost comes to blows. Netty lays into them pretty good.

Ilitia is talking to her agent, who has bad news apparently.

Netty demands an explanation, from Mari, about what happened at the party. The rest of them all continue to point fingers at each other. The pumpkin costume comes up. Netty is impactada.

The agent fires her, when asked why, she throws a magazine at her. TV y Novelas, the official Novela rag. The cover says ‘Que Escandalo!’ and shows a picture of Ilitia cowering in a toilet stall, after the airport hold up. She screams. Que horror!

Lorenzo is living the Hefner life with some chickies while telling his wife he’s hard at work. Camila wants to make some plans for that evening, he makes excuses, until the name Ruiz y de Teresa comes up, then oh yeah I’m free totally count me in! She is going to get all dolled up for him, he couldn’t care less.

Gretel and Emiliano have a discussion where they both make clear that they feel fine. Gretel tries to clue him in that something, using the famous Lorena and Alonso method of spending ten minutes explaining that they have something REALLY IMPORTANT to tell you but not ever actually telling you until…. someone walks in and interrupts before they can say it. A true novela classic method. Fedra shows up, interrupting Gretel before she can deliver her news. Fedra immediately starts talk of sending her to a new psychiatrist. Gretel storms off, Fedra thinks maybe they needs to lock Gretel up. Emiliano doesn’t like that idea.

Outside of Netty’s, Emanuel says he has another surprise, close your eyes! She does, he freaks out when he can’t find the silver flower, oh crap what is the surprise going to be? He gives her a kiss and says surprise! She likes this, of course. He gets on the bike and she just stands there looking dazed.

Emiliano says no way does Gretel go to a nuthouse. Fedra says she should, she’s nuts. They fight about it. Emilano says no way – then Kristel shows up and interrupts, to tell them to change for dinner.

Mari hangs out with Netty and meets everyone. Brandon shows up with no shirt on, Mari is scandalized and covers her eyes. They all talk about how in this house, love rules, no fights! Brandon talks to Mari and Mari continues to avert her eyes. Netty gives Mari a gift.

Kristel tells Fedra about Mari getting drunk, they laugh and laugh about it. Witches. Fedra tells her how proud she is of her. What a role model. They agree that they need to get everyone else out of the house, one way or another.

Lorenzo is enjoying a bath, Camila sneaks in for some lovin and takes off her robe, Lorenzo shies away. She isn’t having it and starts to get in.

Ilitia comes home crying and crying and yells at the maid. Lorenzo is in the bath trying to slow down Camila and is saved by the bell, er, knock, as Ilitia arrives.

Bernardo The Mask digs a hole by the pool outside to bury the silver flower. He gives a boring speech about it and finally drops it in the hole and buries it. He talks to the ‘captain’ while burying it, who is the crazy one here again? He vows to always protect Fedra, even from the captain’s own ghost.

Brandon finally put his shirt on, the gift seems like it was a music box. Netty says they’ll be happy, Eva is with them in sprit. They all want Netty to sing a song. They put in a CD of music and Netty, who claimed to have nothing prepared, proceeds to put on a choreographed show. Even with a broken arm. The lipsyncing isn’t great. They all get up and dance.

Ilitia is furious, blaming everything on Brandon. Camila defends him, but hurricane Ilitia isn’t hearing it. Camila changes her tune, says that if he is to blame, then he has to pay for it. Lorenzo agrees, violently, even yelling at Camila to shut up at one point. He says he is taking charge of everything, he will make that guy pay! Camila doesn’t look like she likes this.

Now Fedra hears about Camila’s suicide attempt (she got home in pretty quick time, no?) One of the maids comes in with their drinks and spends a little too long listening, they shoo her back out to get to work on dinner. Kristel says Lorenzo is out of the house all the time, but they are putting the blame on Camila for being frigid.

The general is trying to get Emiliano to take care of Mari’s inheritance, then something about Netty. At one point the general says “I never forget anything! Now, what were we talking about?” HA. Emiliano swears that everyone wants Mari to get what’s hers, nobody would be trying to take anything from her! Yeah right.

Bernardo comes back in with a shovel, and still wearing a shirt and tie (wtf?) and Emanuel sees him. Em knows what’s up and right away says ‘where is the flower’? He SHOULD just go see where there is some fresh dirt, since dumbass here is walking around with a shovel.

Mauricio shows up with flowers for Fedra, she doesn’t care, she wants to hear about his assault outside the house. He tries to play it off, a couple guys. She says two? I thought it was four? Oh yeah, uh four. She isn’t buying it. She says next time he gets mugged, he better have an injury to prove it.

Emanuel tells The Mask, who is trying to blame other servants for the flower being missing, that the flower is Mari’s, the final gift from her mother. The Mask is relieved, he says he will take charge of finding it and returning it to Mari.

One of the maids is snooping in someone’s office. Sorry I don’t call them by name but I don’t know which is which or what their names are. While snooping, The Mask sneaks up on her and asks what she is doing in his room?

Netty tries to get Mari fired up to take her place as the rightful heir to the house and fortune of the Ruiz y de Teresa family. Netty explains that Fedra came from somewhere else, drove Emiliano crazy, and wants all of everyone’s money.

The Mask holds the maid down and talks bad guy talk. He digs around, she thinks he is going to violate her, he just finds the paper she took. The other maid calls for her.

Mari slips that she isn’t being treated well, Netty wants details.

Lorenzo and Camila show up, Axel and Gretel can’t stand all the hypocrisy in the room. Ilitia announces that Emanuel is missing, where is her baby? Fedra tells her guests that they are here to meet the black sheep of the family, ha ha, they’ll have to open both doors to get her food in, haha. Emanuel shows up and says no, because they are all hypocrites and Mari isn’t going to be here.

Monday – more of the same. Ilitia is mad at Emanuel for defending Mari, she says she won’t permit that he loves her! There is also another ‘Mari is fat and falls on someone’ moment, while Netty screams that Mari is dead. I bet that’s some act cooked up for some reason or another.

El Clon, Fri., August 20 - Summary for Discussion

Well, live and learn. Today's lesson is that eblogger does not automatically save your post when you are editing a post the way it does when you create a new post. It's too bad. I had a very detailed recap, full of Spanish and there is no way I'm doing it all again. Short and sweet is what we are going for now.

Lucas has Cristina call Jade to tell her that he still loves her and their plan is still on. He just can't abandon his daughter right now. Jade refuses to speak to Cristina.

Once again Jade goes through all the things she risked for Lucas while he is happy with his family. Zoraida helpfully points out that while Jade has lost her house and her daughter, she could have been cursed by her whole family, too so she should be grateful that she still has Zoraida and Latifa.

Said can't stop talking about Jade to Mohamed who urges his brother to forget about her. Mohamed tells Said that Jade is going back to Morocco with Ali. Said says that he treated Jade like a queen but she never loved him.

Lucas goes to see Zein. Bottom line: Zein is not going to walk away from Jade and of course Lucas isn't either.

Said tells Mohamed that knew about Lucas from the beginning. He can't help it. When he looks at a woman, he sees Jade including when he was unfaithful to her with Marisa.

Said tells Jadiya that she can't go to Mohamed's house.

Lucas seems to be a lot more preoccupied with Jade than his daughter. Marisa tells him that Rosa brought Nati home the previous evening and she was paranoid and hallucinating. Marisa tells Lucas that she doesn't know what to do about Nati.

Nati wakes up with Rosa at her bedside. She doesn't remember anything that happened the previous evening and is nasty to Rosa when she asks about the missing stereo.

Pablo tells Alej that he can't deny the fact that Nati is a drug addict any more. A neighbor saw Nati carrying the stereo out of the apartment and someone Pablo knows has seen Nati buying drugs in the worst part of town.

Enrique's PSA tells us that drug addicts know they are doing wrong but can't stop themselves.

Fernando shows up at work and lies to Clara about where he has been.

To help Clara out, Roberto goes to see Malicia with documents for her to sign to transfer ownership of the apartment to Fernando. Malicia says that she can't sign papers that she doesn't understand but rejects Roberto's offer to explain them to her or talk to her lawyer.

Fernando promises Carolina that he will be a model employee from now on. She gives him another chance for Clara's sake.

Roberto tells Clara that Malicia has no intention of transferring ownership of the apartment.

Nati tries to get money from Leo but he sticks with the plan. Nati tries Rosa but Marisa interferes. Nati steals Marisa's phone.

Lucas lurks outside Latifa's house. Skank Hilda and sKank Karla walk by. Hilda tells Karla that a shady lawyer is making a list of Roberto's assets. Amin watches from behind the gate.

Zamira and Zumaya are with Carlos. Carlos thinks Zumaya looks very strange in her veil. Zamira asks if Carlos could fall in love with someone who wore a veil. Carlos isn't sure but he doesn't think so. He just likes Zamira. Carlos makes himself scarce when Zamira tells him that the approaching Amin is Zumaya's big bad brother.

Luisa smothers Albieri with solicitousness. Albieri is going to Leo's to tell him the truth about Daniel.

Lucas accosts Jade and Latifa outside their house. He says that if she would listen to him, she would understand everything. Of course, she won't listen. When Lucas says that his daughter is ill, she starts to listen but Latifa drags her away. In the cab, Jade says that Lucas probably made up the story about his daughter just like he lied to her before.

Dora comes to see Leo to demand that he tell Cristina that he never had any relationship with her. Leo tells her that he just wants to see Daniel and Dora agrees to take him to her house. Then she can come with him to confront Albieri.

When Leo has no time to speak to Enrique on his way out of the office with Dora, Enrique does his extremely boring self pity shtick.

Jade isn't enjoying shopping with Latifa. She tells Latifa that she doesn't want to return to Morocco. She wants to start her life all over again alone in the US. Apparently, it is forbidden by Islam for a woman to live independently. Latifa tells her that she will be cursed. Latifa seems to think that Mohamed would be happy to have Jade move in with them.

Marisa can't find her phone.

Of course, Mohamed does not want Jade at his house. He says that Said is his brother and wouldn't like that. He tells Latifa in private that he doesn't want her going out alone with Jade.

Jade tells Zamira that she is sad. Even though the house is full of people, she feels alone. She is different from everyone else. Zamira replies that she feels the same way. Jade warns Zamira against falling in love with a Westerner and fighting against her own luck.

Cristina calls Zein a Judas for firing her while she was at his wedding. Zein replies that she took the job to amuse herself and forget her problems. Neither she nor he wants to have to stay at the club all day. Cristina acknowledges the truth of this but she can't understand how things got messed up when she was away. Malicia is listening. Cristina says that Zein hurt her by not having the decency to tell her in person. Zein apologizes and offers the excuse that he has been depressed. Jade divorced him and he doesn't know what to do when he is with her. Being in love has destroyed all his abilities with women.

Roberto tells the Chump about his meeting with Malicia. The Chump calls Malicia and she says that since he doesn't trust her, she isn't going to sign anything. The Chump tells Roberto that he doesn't understand why Malicia has changed so much. "Probably because now she has an apartment in her name in Coral Gables," replies Roberto.

Leo comes to Dora's house. Daniel comes in. "It's him, it's my son," says Leo and embraces a confused Daniel.

The credits roll. (No El Clon tonight)

Hasta el Dinero Nos Separe 8/20/10 Today's Burning Question: ¿QUÉ?

Gather round mis amigos and let's see what transpires tonight in our manic madcap Mexican millieu. You might want to pour yourself a Tequilita or pop a Xanax 'cause it looks as though we've got some pretty rough terrain ahead for the next hour or so. We rejoin our intrepid assortment of nacos consisting of a rather frantic Rafa, an oddly placid Nelson, and the volatile de la Parra brothers, who are there to protect the interest of their daddy, butcher don Gastón. It's evening and they are standing outside the police impound yard that is surrounded by a tall steel fence topped off by strands of barbed wire. They are discussing ways to enter this seemingly impregnable fortress in order to retrieve that suitcase filled with cash from the recent truck sale. Impossible, you say? Not so fast. Consider the assembled geniuses that we are dealing with here.

First let us look in on a lugubrious lady, the dejected and rejected Vicki Vicki Vicki. She is seated on the side of her bed clad in lavender PJs wearing her wedding veil atop her head as she ponders and strokes a photo of her ex novio, Rafa. She was this close to fulfilling her dream but... well you all know what happened. Don Gastón softly knocks and quietly intrudes, "Hijita (little daughter), Hijita, may I come in?" "Sí, Papi." He is a coarse, burly man, but his gentleness with his little girl is endearing. With warmth and concern he softly suggests that perhaps it would be best if she were to see a psychologist. Weakly and meekly (totally out of character for our Vicki) she tearfully replies, "¿Qué? No... Pajarito, Pajarito, Pajarito," and then openly weeps. Breaks my heart.

Suzy is following Ale into her office at Auto Siglo and wanting to know what happened in her meeting with doña Arcadia and Beltrán. Ale tells her that surprisingly she was asked to stay on but of course she can't because of Rafa, who also is staying. Oh yes, Rafa. Susana finally is able to get through to Ale, "Rafa no se casó con Vicki (Rafa didn't get married to Vicki)." "¿Qué?" Ale is shocked and rapidly traverses a full range of emotions. Her friend explains that because Vicki was pregnant... this disturbs Ale who rudely interrupts... but she continues explaining, "Not by Rafa, well not really pregnant..." finally getting through to Ale who is a bit confused but manages to grasp the salient point, "¡Rafa no se casó!" She reflects, "That explains why I saw him standing outside the club after the wedding." (Vivi, you were right the first time.) Of course this is good news and Ale briefly rejoices until the aguafiesta (killjoy) points out, "but you married Marco."

Mientras tanto, Vicki has returned to earth and asks her papi why she should see a psychologist. He tells her that she is taking her loss of Rafa very badly and she responds by asking him what she should do. Does he want her to laugh? She laughs ruefully. Calmly she asks if he want her to act as if nothing happened, or does he want her to cry like crazy? She cries pitifully. She asks again, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" He admits that it's not easy but he's sure that a specialist can help her cope. "Will you go?" "Sí... BUT I'D BETTER BE HELPED, BECAUSE IF NOT, IF NOT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO PUT MY PAJARITO OUT OF MY HEART, I DON'T KNOW HOW, PAPÁ, I DON'T KNOW HOW!" She then breaks down into inconsolable weeping as her Dad helplessly tries to comfort her. Whether one likes Vicki our can't stand her, this was heartbreaking, not to mention dang convincing acting.

Speaking of consoling, back at Auto Siglo, Susana is ministering to a sobbing Ale who is trying to come to grips with her irreversible loss of Rafa, by whispering platitudes and deftly massaging her temples. Ale concedes with a smile that she is happy that Rafa had not married Vicki, but bemoans her
hopeless situation. Suzy can't resist the opportunity to remind her that she told her a thousand times...

None too soon we rejoin little band of bumbling bandidos who are still puzzling over a way to retrieve the funds from the caged Pantera. Felipe is an obvious choice and of course Rafa should go in with him. Conveniently someone has planted a tree next to the fence. Problem solved. Our pair of cat burglars climb the tree and enter the compound as Nelson and Pancho wait behind as sentinels. They search the lot, find Rafa's pride and joy and extract the suitcase from the trunk... so far so good... Felipe goes for the gold, but Rafael's Pantera objects to a stranger's caress, sounding her alarm and flashing her lights arousing several other slumbering autos who join in the complaining. The guard has been alerted and a token chase ensues terminating with an easy escape through a handy exit which conveniently opens from the inside. All our boys flee into the night leaving the guard confused and wondering what they could have taken.

During a few commercials, we refill our caballitos (little glasses for shots of Tequila) or pop another Xanax.

We rejoin our fugitives as they make their escape in the butcher's truck with Pancho as the wheelman. Rafa's cell phone rings. It's Marian. The brothers are impressed. She wants to see Rafa... now. "OK." ¿QUÉ?... OK? You've got a suitcase full of money, accompanied by two feral nacos and a blissed out ascetic and your going to drop by Marian's place? In fairness to Rafa he did resist ever so slightly. He takes this moment to broach a delicate matter with the Blade Brothers. Turns out he's going to be a little short on his refund of do Gastón's money. "¿QUÉ?" Well he owes a little here and a little there, surely they'll understand. Well, unfortunately, it looks like they do... they pull off the road to discuss this new development.

Tia Rosario is sitting on the sofa in Marco's apartment absently thumbing that book as Ale arrives... alone. Gifted a keen sense of observation, Tia is instantly aware of this, "Where's Marco?" "Marcos had a little problem." "What happened?" Ale continues her explication in a way that must be seen and heard. It defies description and verbatim is incoherent, but she gets her point across ending with Marco's hallucination of Rafa when he began to kiss her. "¿Qué? Surely he had too much to drink." Nopis. "Marcos esta mal (Marcos is sick). Marcos is incapable of carrying out a normal married life. That's why I chose to come here." Nonplussed, Tia comforts her with a hug.

Elsewhere, somewhere on the side of the road, Pancho is interrogating Rafa in a hands on fashion as Felipe bounces up and down to the tune of cartoon boings while Dandy offers up a taciturn explanation to no one in particular. Pancho releases his grip on Rafa's neck, giving him a chance to explain that he owes money to a lot of people and though he can only pay part now, he will pay the rest later after selling more trucks. "Agreed?" "¡No!" The brothers aren't happy that Rafa used the money to buy trucks. Rafa admits that in retrospect that it wasn't wise, then crossing a bridge too far, asks them to explain it to their dad. Yikes.

Across town in the Oasis, over whiskies,Marco is filling Chavez in on the finer details of his noche de boda. "Sigo mal (it didn't go well), Chavez, muy mal." Chavez gently observes, "your going crazy," pointing out this is not good for the greater good... aquiring and selling the hacienda. At the moment Marco is more concerned about his mental well-being and wants Chavez to help him find help... and not Molongo. He desperately grabs Chavez' lapels, prompting him to complain that he pulled out three of his five chest hairs. We've wanted to see Marco suffer... well, he's suffering.

Somehow, Rafa must have placated the de la Parra sibs, because he's arrived at Grupo Celeste clutching the valuable valise to his bosom. He can only stay a moment... lots of things to do... She offers him a drink. He declines. She flirts. He squirms. He tells her that he has sold some of the trucks. She's impressed. "And paid in cash, how strange." She flirts. He squirms. She is concerned. He must be upset about the failed wedding with Vicki followed by the successful wedding of Licenciada Álvarez de Castillo. they exchange awkward small talk. How did she know? Julieta told her. Julieta needs to concentrate on her studies... you get the picture. She asks if Ale's wedding troubled him. Well, yeah. She flirts, "Things can change." He squirms, "How?"
Like a cougar staking a quivering fawn, she moves in for the kill. ¡Gol! ¡Gol! ¡Gol! ¡Besoooo!

We go to commercial. Boozers, refill you caballitos. Xanaxers... XANAXERS! No more Xanax for you. Hey! Lleno de Amor looks fun.

Yikes! The KISS continues. She seems a little more in to it than he is. Guess he has a lot on his mind right now. He waivers. She persists...

AS we are back in the Oasis with Marco and Chavez. Chavez tells of the exorcism in which an extra headless ghost appeared and frightened Molongo who fainted dead away (good psychic help is hard to come by these days). This is going to interfere with the sale of the hacienda. Marco is suspicious. "Hmm, that wasn't our ghost. This needs further investigation," he muses.

Recovering from THE KISS, Rafa sits on the sofa with Marian. She bluntly offers him the money needed to solve his financial bind... a loan of course. This makes him almost as uncomfortable as THE KISS. He stammers. Owing money to Ale and Vicki has already created his problems. "I wouldn't be like them." She smiles that bee stung smile. I think Rafa's starting to sweat. I know that I am. No, indeed she is not like them. "Well sleep on it." Some how I don't think that Rafa'll be getting much sleep for awhile. Time to go, cowboy.

Rosario is silently holding a sad Ale as a dejected Marco slips in. Alertly, Tia Rosie spots him. He would prefer to fade into the woodwork. Instead she asks him where he's been. He mutters that he was attending to some things that Ale asked him to attend to. Ale rescues him by thanking him for that. He asks if she got the money from Medina. Well no, but doña Arcadia and Beltrán invited her to come back to work. "¿Qué?" She thinks that it would be a good idea. He? Well not so much... Next!

I thought Rafa had escaped but nope. "Sit!" There's more. Sems as though there's a truck convention in Monterrey(Haven't we been down this rabbit hole before?).

Ale pleads her case convincingly. She would never deceive him. Tia R excuses herself to go make coffee. Changing the subject, he announces to her that he will seek help and end up being the best husband in the whole world. Ale is thrilled.

Outside the Medina fortress, A twitchy Jaime babbles incoherently to himself. He accosts Julieta who is returning home. "We need to talk." She is in no mood . "I HATE YOU!" And to emphasize her point, she administers a violent slap sending his glasses flying off in the direction of Chiapas.

Another commercial, but no more drinks or drugs. Sorry. We've had enough for this outing. Wow! Macys is having a sale.

Jaime is persistent, if not very bright. Frantically he pleads forgiveness. Adamantly she resists. This is ugly. She slams the door in his face... and on his thumb... Next!

Marion wants Rafa to come with her to Monterrey for a couple "Be a chance to sell some trucks." Well, since you put it that way. Rafa needs to wait until the afternoon after turning over the money that morning. "Fine." More good news, "We'll be flying in my plane." Rafa is thrilled.

A dejected Jaime futilely knocks on the door. He looks awful. He hasn't shaved and for some reason his several days of stubble is not nearly as attractive as say, that of Lobo (Gancho). What do you think Julia?

Speaking of persistence, Marco presses his case for Ale not to return to the dealership. Abruptly, she agrees. After all, soon they'll be going to Brazil to open up the branch for Urdiales... Marco interjects that there is of yet no firm date for that. Ale siezes the moment, "Then I'll go back to Auto Siglo for awhile." He reluctantly returns a high cinco and a fist bump which she concludes with Rafa's signature scooer victory pose and quickly scurries off to attend to pending matters. He simmers, he steams, and then he boils, deciding to renew pursuit of his quest that will send Rafa and his mom to jail. A wounded and cornered Marco can be extremely dangerous.

Rafa still hasn't left Groupo Celeste. Now it occurs to him that he must make a call. Beltrán. Relieved to hear from Rafa (the heart of his checkbook is revived...boom boom... boom boom), he instructs him to wait until morning to deliver the cash. ¿QUE? Well, Judy, I guess it will be up to you to see that the money is safely delivered. Good luck! We've managed to get it this far. Learning that Rafa is with Marian, he sends bechas. Now Rafa, Get out!

At Marco's, time for bed. Oops, until Marco is cured, probably best that they sleep apart. Could Marco's really bad day get any worse? Glad you asked... yes it can! Ale's cell phone rings. Need I tell you who it is? Marco seizes the phone and demands that Rafa show up tomorrow with the money. All of it! Then he hangs up. AS Marcos glowers, Rafa glows. Tomorrow he will see his licenciada.

Entering Rosario's bedroom Ale utters and gestures a silent but loud, YES! Tia Rosie thinks it strange that Ale is joining her instead of going to bed with her husband. Ale explains that Marco prefers it that way until his little problem is tended to. Rosie shrugs. As Tia toddles off to brush her teeth, Ale sinks down on the bed, thinking of Rafa and softly whining over the hopelessness of her situation. Across town, in his on bed Rafa does the same, but not so quietly. "¡MALDITA SEA! ¡MALDITA SEA!"

Judy, porfis, bring us a little joy Monday.

This is an unbelievable nightmare. I just spent 2 hours typing the recap. Safari crashed while I was uploading the pictures and it is ALL GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess Blogger doesn't automatically save drafts when you are editing a post as opposed to composing one. I'll have to do the whole thing over but I can't face it tonight.

Episode #129 8/20/10 Renato is delusional and Juan es un necio

Ren once more gives Juan the idiot Reggie's dairy and the annulment papers and tells Juan to read the diary so Juan can understand how much Reggie loved Ren and that's why he can giver up. Ren demands of Juan to leave Reggie in peace. Way to go Ren you've officially become the most hated character in TN history. Juan, believe or not, surprises me and tell Ren I would do ti if I knew you were telling the truth. Ren goes on with his pathetic speech about what can Juan offer Reggie. Why didn't he think that when he forced them to marry? Ren says that Reggie is a lady and Juan would never give her the ladies treatment. Ren says Juan doesn't have education. Ren admits that Reggie now says she is in love with Juan, but sooner or later she is going to grow tired of how unrefined Juan is. New flash for you Ren, people grow tired of each other for different reasons, Didn't you grew tired of Aimee and she was of your class? Ren says Reggie is a delicate flower and deserves a good treatment. Juan surprises me again with his come back. Juan tells Ren you want to give Reggie the same treatment you gave Aimee? You could never win her over. It doesn't matter how refined and what a gentleman you are. You've never been able to win a woman's love, because you know Aimme only loved me. Ren corrects Juan and tells him Aimee didn't love anyone, she only care about the vulgar and obscurity. Juan whatever, but she loved me and she never loved you. Aimee betrayed you. She told you that she loved you. She elevated you to the sky and then she let you fall into a dark abyss. An abyss that you haven't been able to come out. look at yourself, you want to drag me and Reggie to that same abyss, but you'll not achieved your wishes. Ren says it is not worth it continue arguing with you. I have given you Reggie's dairy. There you'll be able to ascertain the feelings I provoked in her even without touching her. I hope Juan doesn't read the dairy. Sometimes it is not necessary to touch a woman to provoke her passion. There's no use in arguing read the diary. and enjoy it. Good night. Ren walks away and Juan is going to go after him, he stops looks at the folder with the papers and the dairy. He has a expression of hate on his face.

Back at the Marin, weeding plans. Grandma and grandpa have big plans for Jime's weeding. They want a big weeding in puebla. Jime and Gabe have other plans. They want a small weeding by the river and they want to stay en el puerto. Jime says the river is very special for them. They have very fond memories of it. De Marin says he understands Jimena, Mari corrects him, her name is Angela. De Marin says when there's love it doesn't matter where the weeding is celebrated. Reggie is growing impatient. Mari agrees to the weeding in the river if that is what they want. Gabe notices Reggie looking out of the window. Gabe and Noel go to Reggie. Gabe tells not to worry about Juan. He's a big boy and he's going to be OK. Gabe asks Reggie to sit with them and be part of the celebration. Reggie agrees. She sits down and start talking to Angela but after a few seconds she looks toward the door with a very worried expression.

Leo is admiring MDR jewels. Ren comes in. She hides the jewels and tells Ren that she is unpacking. Ren is happy and tells her that in no time she'll grow accustomed to the new digs. Leo sits him down and asks him to leave el puerto. She want to go to Europe. Ren says he won't leave el puerto until he frees Reggie from the clutches of Juan. wins Reggie love and convince her to marry him. Well good luck with that one Ren.

Reggie is again pacing the room, everyone is standing now ans Regie is again pacing the room. Juan makes his grand entrance. Reggie runs to him and says she was worry sick about him. Very dryly he said you don't have to worry. I am fine, we have to leave. Reggie sets eyes on the items he's hold in his hands. Reggie asks you have there? He tells her, I told you, we'll talk later. Now you are going to says our goodbyes and leave. Very shyly Reggie looks at him and doesn't say anything more. Juan thanks them and says him and his beloved wife have to leave. The people at the party protest. Noel asks him what did Ren want? It is because of his visit that you want to leave? Juan says he brought me these documents, but this not the place nor the time to talk about them. I'll look for you some other time and will inform you of their content, thanks for asking. De Marin says please stay a little longer, dinner hasn't been served yet. Reggie tried to hold him. Juan thanks them but him and his wife have to leave. Gabe asks if something is the matter. Juan says we'll talk later my child. But I wish you all the happiness in the world. Grandpa says it is a pity that you have to leave, but if you have to thanks for being her with us. Gabe thanks them again. Juan says you have nothing to thank me for. Then Juan decides to make a toast to true love, a love without lies and betrayal and looks at poor Reggie. As he is leaving he grabs Reggie by one hand and pulls her as if she was a little child.

Leo is telling her son to forget about Reggie. Leo tells him to go with her to Europe, she has some friends there and he can meet someone else. Ren says no mother can't do. I'm obsessed, I'm in love with Reggie and she is the only on I want. Leo says Regina, Regina always Regina. Don't tell me you love Reggie more than you do your mother? Mother please they are two totally different affects. You know I love and respect you and that is why I won't stop you if you decide to leave. It'll hurt but I'll accept it. But I won't go any place. He kisses her and wishes her a goodnight. Leo says to herself. He prefers Reggie over me> from now on I'll so the same. I'll of me first. Isn't that what you've done all your life? She wants to skip town to avoid prison. She runs again to retrieve the box of jewels. She says Ren was the only thing detaining me her, but nothing will detain me now, nothing.

Reggie asks Juan why hasn't he told her what was that Ren gave him. The idiot tells her she'll know in due time. Reggie says you were very quiet during the whole trip back home. She says if there's something we should talk about, I prefer we do ti now. He says no, I said no know and now please leave me alone. Reggie says as you wish and leaves. He says thank you. He opens the dairy ans starts to read it. You disappoint me Juan.

Ren is enjoying his victory. He is sure that after Juan reads the dairy, the relation between Juan and Reggie would be history.

Juan continue reading the diary where it says what a gentleman and how much Reggie loves him. Juan says maldita sea and slams the dairy on the table. He gets up to leave, stops at the door, turns around and goes back to the table and starts his torture again. Reggie is also torturing herself asking herself why her husband didn't want to tell her what Ren gave him. She says why doesn't he trust me? He doesn't trust me the same way he used to trust Aimee. Reggie is thinking that Juan is still in love with Aimee. Reggie has a flashback of when she saw Aimee at Juan's cell. That those it, Reggie is 100% sure Juan is still in love with Aimee. Juan is still reading on the dairy all the good and marvelous things Reggis had to say about Ren. Juan slams the dairy again on the table. We hear another maldita sea. He gets up again goes to the and stops again. Reggie is thinking that whatever Ren gave Juan is making him suffer. Reggie is wondering what might have been, what? Juan is back at the table.. He picks up the dairy again. This time he opens it at the page where Reggie is saying that of her love for Ren she is marrying Juan del Diablo and blah, blah blah. This is a very frustrating episode for me. Juan is saying that Reggie married him just to spare Ren from suffering. I thought he knew that. He is saying Reggie knows how truly love and that if he really loves her, he'll set her free so she can be happy with Ren. Reggie is still wondering what was that Ren gave Juan.

It is finally morning. Juan spent the night sitting on the chair. Reggie comes out of the bedroom and asks the obvious, if he spent the night there. He says yes. She say do you want coffee? He says what I want of you is to sit down here. please sit down. She obliges. She asks what is the matter. He finally gives her the document and says I want you to read this. Reggie opens the folder and Juan says at last you got what you wanted. You and I are no longer married. Reggie's eyes look like they are going to come out of their sockets. While the idiot looks at her with a lot of anger. Reggie is very surprised and asks is our marriage has been annulled? This can't be Juan. Did you spent the whole night reading this paper. Juan says not only that. I entertained myself reading a very interesting book. This book that Ren gave last night. Juan shows Reggie the book. Reggie is very surprised and says, my diary? She can't believed it.

Lulu is saying her goodbyes. Is not point ins staying. Remi hasn't come around and he told her that the only way he'll be happy was if he didn't see Lulu for the rest of his life. Mari is very sad and ask Lulu to go with them to puebla. Lulu thanks her and says she is going back to Europe to look her family up. Maybe they'll forgive her and start a new life. Lulu asks Mari permission to go and check when is the ship living. Mari tells to go and take of whatever she has to.

Pedro and the big guy can't believe Remi told Lulu to get lost. The big guy, I', drawing a blank, can't remember his name, tells Remi something that is very truth. He says It is a good thing you and Juan are bothers because you are the same stubborn arrogant fools and because of that, you two are going to lose the loves of your lives. Remi wasn't expecting that. Remi asks him why are you talking to me like that. The big guy says because I am mad at you. Eusebio, says Remi Lulu loves you. Remi says it is. Pedro no buts here, if you don't go and look for her, you are going to lose the love of your life. Remi doesn't say anything and the big guy says what are you thinking about? tell me, what are you thinking about? Remi doesn't say anything.

Reggie is holding the dairy, she says I won't deny I loved Ren and what I wrote here was what I felt at the time. but that is history, if I have learn something in life is that one can't hide love or the truth because they always come to light. I loved Ren since we were children, but now I understand I was in love with an illusion. I was in love with the love. When we were children we were the best of friend, we had the dreams and the same ides. But that ended when I married you and I started to know you. The love I feel for you is different. Is the love a woman feels, you are my companion, my accomplice and my friend. I don't need o anybody else. The then holds he stomach and well, you and someone very special, someone that you... The idiot says all that love you felt for Ren couldn't have died all of the sudden you are confused, that's why you married me. You are truly in love with Ren. Patience, patience. Reggie says Juan don;t you know how much I love you? what do i have to do to convince you? Juan my love. you are the love of my life. Please understand that. She holds his hand and says and now I share this love with... She is going to put his hand on her belly. He pulls the hand away and says with Ren of course. Reggie why are you so confused. He gets up and says what it says in the dairy is not confusion it says it right there that you love Ren. Reggie says they were just words nothing else. Your love is in my heart. He's pacing the little room. He says all the you said is fine and dandy, but you and I are not longer married so I am moving out because I don't want to stain your name. This is your house if you decide to stay, but if you decide to g olive with your family is fine with me. Poor Reggie. He leaves while Reggie stays hold her belly.

Fed is visiting Leo. He is happy she live en el puerto now. Fed asks about MDR jewels. Leo tells him Arca stole them. She continues blaming him. She said the ultimate proof is that he never came back. Rod says of course he never came and he's the only one responsible for what happened to MDR.

Arca is at the market eating a fruit. He her horse hoofs he looks up and is Juan. This is funny, Arca takes off running, he throws a table full of fish on his scape. Juan is pursuing him on horseback. Arca looks like a troll. Juan continues on hot pursue while the market is completely destroyed.

Mari and Angela are having some mother daughter quality time. Mari is telling Angela about Noel. Mari says even though noel and her love each other they can't be together because he's married. Angela says if you truly love him fight for him. Gab and I are the perfect example of the impossible being possible. Mari is at a cross road, she doesn't want do anything against her principles and at the same time doesn't want to give Noel up. A letter is delivered for Mari. Her father receives it and says he'll deliver it to her. Curiosity got the best of him and he opens it. It is a note from Noel professing his love for Mari. The nerve of grandpa. He puts the letter in his jacket pocket and leaves. Probably he is going to confront Noel.

Juan is still in hot pursuit, I don't want to be in Arca's shoes. Juan is upset for what is happening with Reggie and now he found someone to vent his anger with. Darn it seems Arca escaped.

Reggie tells herself to stop feeling sorry for herself. She has to go and find out who did this. She's pretty p'od. she picks up the folder and the dairy and leaves.

Noel is talking with Phillipe. Phillipe says something about Arca. Noel is devastated t the news that Arca is back in town. Someone is at the door. Phillipe opens it. It is don Alberto wanting to speak to Noel of a very delicate matter. Noel tells Phillipe to leave them alone. Alberto questions Noel about the poem he sent Mari. Noel is very impactado.

Leo is walking around town when someone approaches. The new chief of police, you'll have to excuse me tonight but my brain is gone. I worked 18 hours straight, so people's names are all gone. Anyway the chief call Leo and tells her he was thinking about her in this precise moment. Leo says oh yeah, Why? I got it Breton says what happen is I would to clarify some points with you. Breton says I would like to know about the antipathy you had against Brigitte. Leo says you are offending me I didn't have any feeling towards her good or bad. Breton says it is very curious because in one occasion you slap her on the street in brad daylight in front of Rod's house. Leo says that is a lie. But if I did she deserved because Rod told me he couldn't stand her anymore, he couldn't get rid of her, she was always asking him for money. Breton says, the way I heard was that you attacked her because you were jealous which makes me think that her dead was a crime of passion. A crime of passion? this is absurd, where you get that from?

Reggie runs into her father in town. She says father. His greetings is Your marriages was annulled and now you have doubts against Juan's love for you? I am happy because now you'll know what is to love and not be loved back. The jerk. Reggie says father do you enjoy my suffering for real? Now Ros says something to Reggie where I think the writers mess up. Rod says don't you realize that child you are expecting is also going to be a bastard. WTF? How does he know she is pregnant? Reggie says yes another bastard in the family just like the child Rosie is expecting that is you son. Rod doesn't like her answer and tells her to shut it. She says oh no I am not going to be quiet because this child I am expecting is going to make strong and I am going to fight for him. I know you've never love me and that when Aimee dies was as if both your daughters have died. I promise you I'll never seek you again. I'll be mother and father for my child. I wish you happiness in your loneliness. Rod wasn't expecting that.

Leo is telling Breton that Rod and Brig were lovers and that maybe Rod was the one who kill her. When Breton asks her point blank Leo says no of course not. I didn't mean that. Then she tells Breton she has things to do and leaves.

Ren is at Reggies house. Clem tells him Reggie is no home and tells him to leave Reggie alone. Clem compares Ren to Rod. Clem tells him that Reggie is not into him any more. Clem tells him he is only thinking about himself and no Reggie. Clem says if he continues down that path Reggie is going to end up hating him. Clem gives him the analogy about a horse. El necio says Reggie love is worth anything. He's going to fight for Reggie even if his life depends on it.

Juan is at Remi's I won't go in details because I just had it with Juan tonight and I think Remi is on the same boat. He's gong on and on how he asked Reggie if she ask for the annulment ans she didn't give him the answer he was looking for. Remi tells Juan how big the love between him and Reggie is and blah blah, then Juan asks him if all you are saying is truth what are you doing here. Remi says say what? Juan says yes what are you doing here why don't you go and look for Lulu and tell her how much you love her.

Breton now runs into Rod. Breton tells him what Leo said about Rod and Brig. Rod tells Bret how Leo always pursed him and that Leo is capable of anything.

Reggie is at Ren's

Remi went looking for his amada Lulu. He asks her to forgive him. She says too late. He says why. She says I tried everything and I'm leaving town I'm going Europe and you won't seem again.

Juan is asking Clem to go and stay with Reggie. Clem says poor Reggie how unlucky she is. The two time time she'd fell in love had to be with two foolish brutes. Did I say I've had it with Juan for a lifetime? Clem tells it how it is, but of course he's set in his stupid ideas and doesn't bulge.

Reggie is with Ren. She asks him how could you? don't you think I'm capable enough to make my own decisions. Ren says you are right. My only justification is that I did it for love. Reggie tells him, if you truly love me believe me I fell sorry for you because I no what is to love and not be loved in return. The suffering wears out the soul. That's why I ask of you that please forget about me the same way I forgot about you. Ren says it's not that easy Reggie because I love you and I'm sure you still love me. Please understand Reggie I can't tell my hart to stop loving you. I would if I could, you are right when you say the hardest is to love and not be loved in return but I can't forget. Please tell me what to do to refrain my feelings because I can't. I love you so much that to the point of no reasoning anymore and it makes do stupid things but I do them for love.
