Club Gancho... no shirt, no shoes, no problem... except for you Carlos... put that shirt back on!
¡Hola Ganchodores! my name is Jack Buengato. One of my humanoid pets, the old fat male, Carlos, has asked me to open up Club Gancho for him this week. Now ordinarily it would never occur to me to comply with requests from my livestock, but he and the cute one I call Linda did do a small favor for me recently when I got a little short of breath (I thought it was another hairball). They drove me to the emergency room where it turned out that I had a little flareup of asthma or some such thing. Anyway, the Doc at the ER said that it was a good thing they brought me, so when Carlos asked me to fill in tonight I agreed. Maybe now he'll quit saying that I owe him one. Besides, it's raining here again so my plans to do a little night prowling are shot all to hell. I had my heart set on finding a tasty young rodent to supplement the crap they put out for me each evening but it looks like I'll be waiting a few days until the weather clears. It's a good thing for them that I enjoy having them around or I would have found replacements with some hunting and gathering skills. Anyway, for some reason my bitch, Bonnie Belle seems to adore them and generally they are adequate servants... at least as humans go.Carlos wanted me to tell you that the feature drink here this week is the Redheaded Mexican... cute. I've taken the liberty to open a couple of cans of Fancy Feast and set out some bowls of Meow Mix (sorry, it's what they bring in for me), and maybe if the weather clears I can bring in a couple of rats for you to snack on. Jeff, Sandy, and Judy, as always there's iced tea (Luzianne of course) and fresh lemonade, as well as hibiscus tea this week.
Here's a couple of pictures to talk about.
Ximena and Constanza... sex kittens?
Jerónimo... I smell a rat
Dani... a really cute kitten
Estrella Falcón... actriz
Coni and Aldo... attentive stepmother
Dr. LeFort... formerly Tio Meño
Klunder Bros. Arnaldo and Rolando... brotherly love
What the heck?Now if you don't mind, I'll just get back to ignoring you. Nothing personal,
it's a cat thing.
Jack

El Clon, Mon., July 26- Summary for Discussion
One exciting episode and it's back to the same old thing with our least favorite characters.
Jade does the sword dance
and Zein watches appreciatively.
Alej comes home looking for Nati. He doesn't want to call Rosa and worry her. Pablo suggests that they check hospitals and police stations.
Marisa asks Andrea when Nati got started taking drugs. 
Andrea replies that it was 'cuando empezó todo el rollo con Alejandro,' when the whole Alejandro business started. This confirms Marisa's belief that Alej was the source of Nati's problems. Andrea clarifies that Alej wasn't involved, he is an athlete and hates drugs. Andrea says that Nati is insecure and weak and she thought she could escape reality by doing drugs.

Andrea clarifies that Alej wasn't involved, he is an athlete and hates drugs. Andrea says that Nati is insecure and weak and she thought she could escape reality by doing drugs.Si me lo hubiera dicho, if only she had told me about it, says Marisa, [you would have just made the situation worse, bruja] nada de esto habría pasado, none of this would have happened. Marisa and Rosa look back and realize how Nati's behavior changed but Marisa says that she attributed it to a teenage crisis.
After the dance, Jade drugs Zein's drink but he doesn't drink it. 
He takes both drinks and puts them on the table saying that Jade is a woman that he could love for the rest of his life and starts to kiss her. Jade moves away, takes the drinks back and insists on a toast but now she isn't sure which glass has the drug.

Jade moves away, takes the drinks back and insists on a toast but now she isn't sure which glass has the drug.Outside, Lucas tells Cristina that he can't wait any longer. He asks Cristina to explain what happened to Jade and tell her that he loves her forever.
It looks like it was Jade who got the drugged drink.
Zoraida gives Rania her cure for morning sickness - hold a spoon. She asks Zoraida how she can give Said a boy. Zoraida replies that is up to Allah. Rania says that if she has a boy, she won't fear Jade any more because she will have given Said a whole child, not half a one, i.e., a girl, like Jade did. Zoraida protests that Said adores and will always adore Jadiya. Yes, replies Rania, but he will love my son more.
Rania asks Ali the question we had: does Jade stay first wife or become second wife when she remarries Said? Ali replies that Rania would be first wife. She cannot conceal her glee.
Latifa takes Jadiya, Sumaya and Zamira to the medina. Jadiya wants lots of gold and Zamira doesn't want to wear a veil or have her husband chosen for her.
More trouble from Mohamed's children who grew up in the West. Mohamed tells Amin that his betrothed is named Nadia and she is from a very religious family. Amin does not have confidence in Tío Abdul's determination that Nadia is beautiful. He asks Mohamed if he can marry a Westerner if he doesn't like any of the women in Fez. No way, says, Mohamed.
Zein asks Jade if she slept well from the sleeping pill she took. Zein says that women never take him by surprise but he like ingenious ones that he has to figure out. He says that he won't tell anyone what happened. It will be a secret that brings them together.
Amalia takes a call from Marisa [who is now sporting a dress with VNP]
for Leo. She wants him to call her about the Nati situation. Leo refuses to listen to the message and goes out to play squash.
for Leo. She wants him to call her about the Nati situation. Leo refuses to listen to the message and goes out to play squash.Albieri tells Daniel, 'imagina que tú no hubieras sido creado por Dios, sino por un hombre,' Imagine that you weren't created by God but by another man. Like us, Daniel is fed up with the 'what if' game.
Hilda and the sKank are having their usual discussion about how much they can get out of Roberto for his love child.
Alej comes home from searching all night for Nati to find her asleep in bed. She tells him to relax and let her sleep. Poor Alej tells her that he has been searching for her all night.
Jade begs Zein not to return her to Said. He guesses that she wanted to run away and asks why. She says that she wants to live in the West and be free to choose her own life just as he does. She begs him to help her but doesn't mention that she is in love with another man. He doesn't answer and takes her into the medina.
Mohamed tells Ali that he has a bad feeling about this business with Jade. Ali replies that he leaves the future up to Allah. The Naz delivers her usual diatribe again her brothers' 'odalisques' and Jade in particular and her brothers' failure to get her a husband after all she did for them.
The prospective bride and groom for Amin and Zamira are coming over to Ali's house. Once again Zamira states that she will not have her husband chosen for her. Jadiya can't understand why Zamira doesn't want the gold that a married woman gets. Zamira cannot understand why Jadiya wouldn't be grossed out by having to have sex with someone she's never met. Zoraida counsels Zamira that as the weaker party, she shouldn't confront the stronger party but use more subtle means. Zamira doesn't believe that will work because Abdul will bring suitor after suitor until Mohamed forces her to marry one. Zoraida tells the girls that Abdul is stuck in the past and doesn't understand that things have changed. 'What is it that I don't understand? asks Abdul overhearing. 
He accuses her of spreading corruption to the girls.
He accuses her of spreading corruption to the girls.Latifa begs Mohamed to wait on betrothing the children but he won't budge. He says amazingly stupid things like, 'if they're engaged, they will think about their betrotheds in Morocco and won't fall for Westerners. If you turned that around, it would be more likely true.
Once again Albieri chickens out on bringing Daniel to meet Ali. He insists on having Ali meet his godson in some isolated place (the ruins) because when Ali meets Daniel, he will understand Albieri's sin.
It looks like our hopes that the Chump might begin to wise up about Malicia were in vain. He has already decided that it is Clara's fault that Fernando is taking drugs. Malicia skillfully supports this conclusion suggesting the Clara is capable of doing anything including getting involved with her son's friends.
Dora comes to see Osvaldo. He says that he misses her and asks for some good news. She says that she hopes he rots in jail. She says that she will regret loving him until the last day of her life. She says that Karla told her everything. The money she made doing two jobs, that he told her was for his sick mother, [I think we definitely have some cut scenes here - first we've heard that Dora was helping Osvaldo pay Karla] was going to that slut. She says that she has always forgiven him before but she is tired of waiting for a man that will put her first. He promises to treat her like a princess but she says that it is too late. Love is like a crystal - once it is broken, it can't be repaired.
Rosa comes to see Gloria.
Alej wakes Nati up and asks her to tell him why she couldn't be there on the most important night of his life. She spins a tail about studying for an exam and not being able to find anything to eat and crashing her car.
Jade asks Zein why he just looks at her mysteriously and won't say anything. 'I don't want to betray Said but I don't want to return you,' says Zein.
The credits roll.

Dinero #160, 7/23/10: The Truth Comes Out (But No One Wants To Believe It)
Buenos tardes, queredos! Sorry for the delay. Thunderstorms and technical difficulties made me put off recapping until late this afternoon. Last night had a lot of information flying and people crying so lets get to it!
Dandy lays out his ultimatum to Rafa: either he tells Ale the truth about what’s been going on or Dandy will tell Susana.
Chavez and Quintana chat about the hacienda over drinks at the bar. Chavez is upset Marco would accuse him of being a swindler (estafador). He always supported Marco in his handling of the hacienda. Chavez warns Quintana about the headless ghost haunting the hacienda and offers to help Quintana earn extra profit off the property if he lets Marco have ownership.
Rosario tries to liven up Jorge, who has taken to moping in bed again. Marco gives Jorge the news that Rubi is back. Jorge instantly forgets his languishing and cannot wait to see her.
With Dandy’s words in his mind, Rafa steels all his courage to tell Ale the truth. Ale refuses to listen to Rafa after what she overheard between him and Pepeto. “You have a novia you’re marrying, you run off to Monterrey to seduce another woman, and then you say you love me! I hate you! I pray to God you pay me what you owe and we end this relationship for good. I never want to see you again in my life. You can get married to your clueless girlfriend and I will marry the only man who has never lied to me.”
Rafa pleads with Ale to listen. “Marco is a lying disgrace! He is cheating and laughing at you behind your back!” Ale does not believe a word of it. “You’re only saying that because Marco refused to believe your lies!”
Rafa has reached the boiling point. “Do you want to know the truth?! Marco has been blackmailing me! It was his idea to try to sell my house. It was a huge trick to get my mother to believe she won a contest so she would sign the papers that he gave to you. He did it all to get back at me.”
Ale attacks Rafa for being selfish and still disbelieves him. “You should be a writer with a tall tale like that! Marco is incapable of doing something so underhanded.” Rafa is on a roll and the truth just keeps spilling out. “Marco threatened that if I told you the truth, my mother would go to jail. I will never allow my mother to spend one minute inside a prison and much less because of a parasite like Marco!”
Ale asks why Rafa is getting married to if he loves her so much. “Because Vicky’s father loaned me the money I paid to you on the condition I marry his daughter.” Ale can’t handle the ridiculous things Rafa is telling her. “You are blaming your dishonest actions on the man who has helped my family for years, dragged others into your lies, caused Susana and Dandy to split up, and prostituted yourself for money! You only agreed to marry Vicky for money!”
Ale is overcome and Rafa, upset at seeing her cry, tries to comfort her. She tells him to leave. “I’ll go. I just wanted to tell you that even if you don’t believe me and I get married to Vicky and you get married to Marco, I am going to be the most miserable man in the world. I love you and you know you love me too! It hurts that you don’t believe me but it is the truth.” Ale turns to say something but Rafa has already gone.
Jorge has spiffed up to meet with Rubi. He and Marco try to tiptoe out of the house but Rosario catches them. She’s in a snit because they left her out of the conversation earlier and now they’re sneaking out of the house without her. The guys eventually admit they are leaving to see Rubi and make a mad dash for the door.
Meanwhile at Grupo Celeste, Marian chats with her amiga Montserrat. Marian admits she offered Rafa a job because she wanted him close to her. She neglected to mention his job would be as her assistant and not a salesman. Montserrat warns Marian about becoming obsessed since Rafa has always loved another woman. Besides, Montserrat’s brother Daniel was hoping Marian would get back together with him.
Rosaura, Claudia, and Generala pester Dandy, who is in a funk about the break-up with Susana. Later, Pepeto explains Dandy’s depression to Bebé and Jimenez. Dandy cries he may have lost his Nonicita forever. Marino is still spitting fire about being brushed off by Beltran and Ramirez scolds him for being so selfish. Jimenez visits Doña Arcadia and fumbles awkwardly as usual.
When Marco and Jorge arrive at the restaurant, Rubi scoops Jorge up into a big hug. She missed him muchisimo! Jorge asks Rubi where she’s been all this time and Marco says she was living with her mother. Rubi glares at Marco but gives it up in favor of doting on “Gorgi”. Later, Marco ends up agreeing to take Rubi and Jorge to the hacienda the following night.
Susana’s meditation is interrupted by Ale, who is a sobbing mess after the fallout with Rafa. Susana says they both have to heal and move on. Ale cries that it isn’t so easy to make her heart forget the man she lives for. Susana tells Ale she has to pull herself together for her own health. Ale tells Susana all the sordid details and more tears start flowing. One of the reasons she fell in love with Rafa was because he was so honest. Ale is overwhelmed and has no idea what to do next. Susana offers a piece of advice: marrying Marco out of spite (despecho) would be the biggest mistake Ale could make.
Rafa looks to his amigos for help. Pepeto and Jimenez run off to find a private spot while Rafa lets Dandy know he told Ale the truth.
Ale gets a phone call about her upcoming wedding. She either has to change the wedding date or get married somewhere else. Ale is too distressed to think of having a church wedding and decides on a civil ceremony. Ale is going to go through with marrying Marco so she never has to see Rafa again. “Even if I don’t love him, I am sure he loves me.”
Doña Arcadia meets with Beltran. She asks him why it bothers him so much that Rafa, a fantastic employee, doesn't have the education credentials. After all, he has the experience and has already produced results. Beltran agrees to ask Rafa to stay at the Siglo. However, they still have to let Ale go. Arcadia says they have to sacrifice someone for breaking the rules.
Avances: Jorge creatively tells Ale that Rubi has returned and Vicky goes shopping for wedding dresses.

Synopsis of "Llena de amor" (Full of Love) - upcoming novela
This is a remake of Mi gorda bella (My fat beauty); Llena de Amor will have its grand Univision premier on Monday, August 9, 2010
Despite having lived almost her whole childhood without the love of a family, Marianela (Ariadne Díaz) hasn't lost her smile, nor the sweetness of her character. After the death of her father, her aunt Freda (Azela Robinson) imprisoned her in a school with the pretext that her mother was an alcoholic and couldn't take care of her.
Years later, her mother dies in a mysterious accident and Marianela goes to live with the evil Freda.
Marianela is the victim of jokes and humiliations. Only her cousin Emanual (Valentino Lanús) treats her well and defends her, and Marianela can't help falling in love with him.
In time, Emanuel begins to feel a strong attraction towards her. Simply imagining them together drives Freda crazy and she decides to poison the girl with some chocolates apparently from Emanuel. When she finds out the chocolates Emanual gave her were poisoned, Marianela feels profoundly wounded and decides to go to Spain.
Months later, Marianela returns to Mexico - but the Marianela who left for Spain isn't the same as the one who returns, full of optimism and confidence in herself, determined to descover the truth and get back what belongs to her.

El Clon, Fri., July 23- Summary for Discussion
At the reception, Zein promises Said that he will bring Jade to Ali's house the next morning.
Tío Abdul tells Ali that he admires Cristina but thinks, 'si fuera un poco más gordita que llenara la cama... seria una reina,' if she could be a little curvier to fill the bed, she would be a queen.
Alej's fan section is ready for the fight but Alej is concerned that Nati isn't there.
Nati's high and dancing at a club. A cop asks for her id and then illegally searches her purse and finds a baggie with white powder, presumably cocaine.
Clara goes to the Chump's place to tell him about Fernando's drug habit. Naturally, he says that it is her fault for going out with young guys. Clara accuses the Chump of chasing after a homewrecker and being so selfish that he doesn't care about his son.
Fer tells Andrea that Nati has been arrested.
Lucas sneaks into the wedding reception. He and Jade start making goo goo eyes and smiling idiotically at each other as usual.
The cop who dealt with Marisa's necklace theft recognizes Nati as Leonardo Ferrer's granddaughter.
Alej is concerned that he can't reach Nati. Pablo tells him that his performance in tonight's bout will determine his place in the Nationals.
Andrea tells Fernando that they have to do something to help Nati. She suggests telling Alejandro. Fer replies that if Alej finds out he was involved in this, he will kill Fer. Andrea says that it is Fernando's fault that Nati is in trouble. Fer says that Nati did it on her own. She asked him to get drugs for her.
Alej is distracted by his concern for Nati and is not doing well in the fight. Pablo tells him to buck up. This is his big chance.
Dora seeks out Karla and tells her that she is Osvaldo's wife.
In prison, Osvaldo can't believe that Dora hasn't come to see him.
Alej wins the bout.
Andrea comes to the Ferrer house but Rosa tells her that Lucas and Leo are out of town. Marisa is in town but not at home. Andrea tells her that Nati has been arrested.
The fight promoter is impressed with Alej's bout and asks to represent him. The promoter says that he will support Alej financially and get him the best diet and training. But he says he is giving Alej a chance and there can't be any alcohol, women or problems. He has to be focused.
Said tells Mohamed that he knows the smart thing would be to let Jade go but he can't 'arrancármela de la piel,' rip her out of his skin. 'Prefiero seguir infeliz a su lado...que ser feliz y no tenerla,' I would rather be unhappy at her side than be happy and not have her, says Said.
It's off to the same hotel room as all the other weddings.
Zein tells Jade that he saw her in the medina the day he arrived and her image has stayed with him. He says that he wants to pretend that he really got married and follow the ritual to the end.
Dora comes home depressed but she hasn't told Estela about Osvaldo. Anita arrives to tell them that Luisa is on her way to Morocco. She asks to see a picture of Daniel about whom she has heard so much. On seeing it, she is impactada. [Does she know Lucas?]
Marisa returns home in one her uglier broccoli rubber bands and asks what is going on.
Rosa tells Marina that Nati was arrested.
Rosa tells Marina that Nati was arrested.
At Gloria's, Alej gets a hero's welcome. Gloria tells him that, 'aunque nunca he estado de acuerdo, ni lo estaré, con las luchas, estoy muy orgullosa porque has ido detrás de sueño y lo conseguiste,' even though I don't agree with fighting and never will, I am proud of you because you followed your dream and achieved it. [Cristina and Gloria have become my two favorite characters in this novela. They started out loud and obnoxious but they have demonstrated that their hearts are in the right place.]
Marisa and Andrea go to the police station. The detective tells Marisa that Nati has been arrested for drugs. She says that it must all be a mistake.
The detective says no, they found a bag of cocaine in her purse and she had a fake id to buy alcohol. 'Además mire su estado, todavía está drogada,' But just look at her, says the cop, she is still drugged. Marisa bails Nati out, calls Lucas and tells him what happened. She says that she doesn't know what to do and that he has to come home. Lucas says that he will come.

She says that she doesn't know what to do and that he has to come home. Lucas says that he will come.
Clara tells Enrique that she feels guilty that Fernando's drug habit is her fault because of the fighting in their house over her separation from Escobar. Enrique says that Fernando probably has a chemical dependency and it isn't her fault.
Nati accuses her mother of being a hypocrite by drinking and taking sleeping pills so that she doesn't have to face Nati or her father. Marisa says that she has never been in Nati's condition but Nati isn't listening.
Enrique says that people who have a chemical dependency have to quit cold turkey and they will always be surrounded by temptation.
Naturally, Marisa blames Nati's condition on Alej. Nati just wants to leave. Marisa tells Nati to go in the house or she swears... '¿Qué me jura, bruja?' You swear what, witch?' screams Natalia and says that she is fed up with being criticized and demeaned and that Marisa is ridiculous and superficial and that Lucas left her for another woman because Marisa is unbearable. Marisa turns and walks back into the house without a word. Nati demands money or the keys to the car. When neither Rosa nor Andrea obey, she walks away from the house.
Jade comes to Zein in a negligee. [Jade looks very beautiful here without so much eye makeup.]
He tells her that he likes the rituals of his religion but doesn't want to be tied to a wife. He won't demand to have sex with her; he has rented the adjoining suite, 'pero no quiero romper el encanto de esta noche,' but I don't want to break the enchantment of this night. He wants to wash her feet and have her dance for him like she would for the man she loves. Jade agrees.

Zein tells Jade that he hopes the night doesn't end because he only has this night to love her.
Said can't sleep. Ali says that it is fault and something profound about leaving doors open to the wind.
Zein asks Jade to make promises of love to him even though she won't keep them because, 'la religión de amor perdona las mentiras de la mujer amada,' the religion of love forgives the lies of of a woman who is loved.
Lucas is pacing in the restaurant waiting for Jade. She is supposed to come down when Zein falls asleep. Their flight leaves at six am and they have to be in the airport at 4. He can't miss the flight. Cristina tries to reassure him that there is still time.
The credits roll.

El Clon Thursday July 22: Summary for Discussion
[My local station lost Telemundo completely tonight – I still don’t know why, so I’m working from Youtube, that is to say, without a net. Corrections are welcome!]
Daniel is walking through the Medina smiling, touching everything, drinking it all in hungrily.
In Miami, Clara continues her painful conversation with Fernando about his drug use. As in previous episodes this is interspersed with Enrique’s monologues about his history of addiction. Clara confronts him with the changes in his behavior that are now jeopardizing his job and his education. He turns a deaf ear to her. Marijuana is not as harmless (inofensivo) as people think, she says. It leads to many things…(es la entrada para muchas cosas)… His response is a smart alecky:
Claro, la entrada al cielo. ¿Qué daño hace la marijuana?
Sure, the entry to heaven. What harm does marijuana do?
Clara slaps hims and says she won’t tolerate drug use in her house. She’s stopping his allowance: maybe if he has to spend his own money, he’ll think twice before wasting it on drugs. After he leaves, she thinks: I can’t do this alone. She calls his father. Unfortunately, Malicia answers. Clara asks her to let Escobar know that there are serious problems with Fernando. It’s urgent, she says, tell him to come to the house so we can talk about it.
Escobarde comes into the room where Malicia still has the phone in hand. Who was it? he wants to know. Tia Luisa, she says.
Pablo surprises Alejandro with the news that the date of his fight has been changed to accomodate bigshot Michael Gonzáles’s schedule. It’s now the day after tomorrow, not next weekend. Alej is unsure at first, but with a little encouragement from Pablo, decides that yes, he’s ready. He spreads the word, calling Gloria who says:
¿Quién me iba a decir que me iba a sentir tan orgullosa de verte luchar? Bless you baby!
Who would have said that I’d feel so proud to see you fight?
Nati is also proud of him. He tells her he wants her in the front row cheering him on.
In Fez, Zoraida tells Jade that Jadiya will be coming to Morocco with Latifa.
Just then Rania pays an unexpected call on Jade. She has decided she likes Jade’s room better than her own and she demands that they change rooms immediately. Listen honey, says Jade, this is my family’s house and my room and I’m staying put. But I’m pregnant, whines Rania. You can just take your pregnant tush out of here, says Jade. Well I’m telling Said what you said, harrumphs Rania and flounces out.
Enter little Zumaya. She has overheard Amina and Rania say they are deliberately baiting Jade so she will get in trouble with Said.
And indeed, Rania is downstairs bending Said’s ear about the mistreatment she received from Jade. Okay, okay, I’ll talk to Jade, promises Said.
Said asks Jade to humor Rania’s whims. You know how sensitive pregnant women are. Jade’s not buying it. If she’s not comfortable here, she responds, why don’t you take her to a hotel. Why do you always make everything so difficult? sputters an exasperated Said.
Sneaky Amina has been lurking and listening and now runs to Rania with the glad tidings that Said is scolding Jade. It turns out Rania has the same question some of us have entertained here: When Said remarries Jade, will she still be the first wife? I hadn’t thought about it, answers Amina.
Albieri is out with Ali and some of his men searching for Daniel in the ruins. You shouldn’t have let yourselves get separated, says Ali. I shouldn’t have done a lot of things, says Albieri
He needn’t worry, or at least about Daniel’s whereabouts. Daniel enters the hotel lobby. Lucas is there too…
Back in Miami, a happy Natalia shows up at Casa Ferrer. Rosa wants to know if Nati has talked to her parents. Doña Gloria cares about me more than my own mother does, says Nati. I wouldn’t be so sure of that, says Rosa. That woman had the nerve to tell me you were using drugs. Natalia wipes her nose, listens silently. You can’t trust that woman, concludes Rosa.
At the clinic, Luisa muses to Anita that maybe she didn’t know Albieri as well as she thought she did.
And in Fez, Ali and Albieri are walking through the Medina when Albieri gets a call: Daniel is in the hotel. Now I can breathe again, says Albieri.
At the hotel, Albieri is shocked to meet up with Lucas, even more shocked to hear that Cristina is in the same hotel, but relieved that Luisa isn’t with her.
Albieri finds Daniel waiting for him in the room. He scolds him for wandering away and then tells him to pack up. They are moving to another hotel.
¡Han traido luz y alegría a esta casa!
You have brought light and joy to this house! says the beaming Ali to the merry band just arrived from Miami. Mohamed announces his plans to arrange marriages for his children while they are there. Samira whispers to her mother that she won’t accept the idea of someone else choosing a husband for her.
Jadiya runs upstairs to find her mother.
Said is upstairs with Jade telling her she won’t be permitted to see Jadiya until after Zein has returned her to him. El libro sagrado dice… (The holy book says…) The holy book says nothing, retorts Jade. I know my rights and I know your rights and there’s no way you can keep me from seeing my daughter!
And right on cue, Jadiya runs in and throws her arms around her mommy. Then she turns to Said and asks: Is it true you’re going to have another child? Yes, he says, you’ll have a little brother or sister. I don’t want you to have a baby with Rania, says Jadiya. I asked you to return Rania and you didn’t do it. Jadiya tells Jade to be sure to marry her father again after she marries his friend. Lo que tú quieras, mi amor, lo que tú quieras (whatever you want, my love, whatever you want.) Said stares at the floor.
Lucas catches up with Cristina at the hotel and tells her he saw Albieri. And Cristina calls Luisa with the news: he was alone. Luisa is so relieved!
¡Voy a comprar un pasaje a Marruecos hoy mismo!
I’m going to buy a ticket to Morocco this very day!
Back in Miami, Estela is concerned that Dora didn’t keep her appointment with the doctor. She promises to reschedule it as soon as she’s taken care of a few things. And when is Osvaldo coming back from his trip? asks Estela. I don’t know, answers Dora, his mother is even sicker. Before Dora has to make up any more lies, the phone rings: she smiles as she listens and then says: Cristina ha encontrado a Daniel. (Cristina has found Daniel)
Daniel is in fact seated at a table in the Medina with Albieri trying to disentangle the lies Albieri has told him:
Papá, si yo nací de mi madre Dora, por qué no soy hijo suyo? No entiendo por que me dijiste que mi mamá verdadera se murió.
Papa, if my mother Dora gave birth to me, why aren’t I her son? I don’t understand why you said that my real mother died.
When we see my friend Ali, I’ll explain everything, says Albi, and then you’ll understand.
Ali’s house is filled with the joyful business of preparing for a wedding. The women are gathered together and a relaxed and happy Jade is attended to by a servant. (I think she is waxing her legs). Jadiya explains hair removal customs to Samira. Rania, looking vaguely Hare Krishna in her orange robe, observes grumpily: I don’t understand why she’s so happy. Even Latifa is puzzled by Jade’s radiant smile.
Abdul once again tells Said he’s making a big mistake. It’s too late for regrets, says Said.
Jade, gorgeous in her white bridal gown trimmed in gold, gold crown on her head, asks Zoraida: Did you get what I asked for? Allah, forgive me, says Zoraida, and hands Jade a small brown bottle.
Ali tells Jade that she is being given one last chance to hold on to Said’s heart and that she shouldn’t throw it to the winds.
Said reminisces about the day Jade was dressed that way for him and Mohamed replies that he prays for Allah to tear that odalisca out of his heart.
Ali asks Amin about his ideal bride and he describes Miss K and imagines her dressed in white.
And Ali’s parting shot to Said:
Si no te hubieras obstinado en tener negocios con los occidentales, no hubieras llevado a Jade cerca de Lucas. Y yo te lo dije. La soberbia es una trampa muy peligrosa igual que el orgullo.
If you hadn’t insisted on doing business with the westerners, you wouldn’t have brought Jade close to Lucas. And I told you so. Arrogance is a very dangerous trap and so is pride.
Rania complains to Amina that Said is jealous of Jade’s marriage to Zein. Said has even gone to the trouble of renting the room adjacent to the bridal chamber so Zein can slip out and avoid spending a night with Jade.
Jade looks radiant. Said looks miserable. And Lucas paces in the hotel dining room.
Zein explains to Cristina that she can’t witness the actual wedding because it is just for men. In fact, symbolically, he is marrying the bride’s uncle. What a waste, says Cris. I think I prefer the weddings on telenovelas!
And at the men’s ceremony, Zein looks appropriately solemn, Said looks even more miserable and Abdul shakes his head.
In the women’s room, wedding poetry is read for Jade as Latifa smiles, Rania looks surly and the Naz turns away in disgust. Then the witnesses from the men’s ceremony approach: Jade, do you accept Zein? I accept.
In the men’s ceremony, Zein asks the question of Ali who also accepts.
Jade enters and the bridal couple see each other for the first time. They do not appear to be disappointed. A dazzled Zein places a ring on Jade’s finger. Said – let’s say it together – Said glowers. And Rania watches him watching Jade.
Just outside the festivities, Lucas tells Cristina that the bride is Jade. She is impactada.
Abdul calls over Jasmin and introduces her to Mohamed. Fortunately Samira sees what is happening, alerts her mother, who marches up and says:
Ya le dijiste que soy la primera esposa y la única? él no puede tener más esposas, es en nuestro contracto.
Did you tell her that I’m the first and only wife? He can’t have more wives, it’s in our contract.
Back in Miami, Nati is rifling frantically through her bag. Her phone rings. It’s Alejandro wondering why she hasn’t arrived yet. I’m on my way, she says.
Another cut to Enrique and his story…
Nati calls Fernando and they arrange to go to meet their dealer.
In Fez, Lucas confides to Cris that he and Jade are planning to run away together. If they catch us, they’ll kill us. Please let Jade know I’m here and I’m ready.
Cris enters the party and sees the radiant Jade held aloft in the bridal chair.
Daniel and Albi are walking through the Medina when Daniel stops and bends over, as if in pain. It is a sense of distress (angustia)
…como si algo me fuera a pasar…como si tuviera que cuidarme de algún peligro.
...as if something were about to happen to me... as if I had to protect myself from some danger.
Albieri is upset. He wonders if what Daniel feels is a genetic memory of the severe injuries Lucas suffered in this very place where he fell off a roof (as he was trying to escape Said's men); or a premonition that Lucas is in trouble right now. When he comes out of his musings, he realizes that Daniel is gone and runs after him.
Lucas sits outside the party and waits.
Inside, Jade descends from the bridal chair and Zein introduces his friend Cristina. Cristina passes on Lucas’s message.
credits roll.
Daniel is walking through the Medina smiling, touching everything, drinking it all in hungrily.
In Miami, Clara continues her painful conversation with Fernando about his drug use. As in previous episodes this is interspersed with Enrique’s monologues about his history of addiction. Clara confronts him with the changes in his behavior that are now jeopardizing his job and his education. He turns a deaf ear to her. Marijuana is not as harmless (inofensivo) as people think, she says. It leads to many things…(es la entrada para muchas cosas)… His response is a smart alecky:
Claro, la entrada al cielo. ¿Qué daño hace la marijuana?
Sure, the entry to heaven. What harm does marijuana do?
Clara slaps hims and says she won’t tolerate drug use in her house. She’s stopping his allowance: maybe if he has to spend his own money, he’ll think twice before wasting it on drugs. After he leaves, she thinks: I can’t do this alone. She calls his father. Unfortunately, Malicia answers. Clara asks her to let Escobar know that there are serious problems with Fernando. It’s urgent, she says, tell him to come to the house so we can talk about it.
Escobarde comes into the room where Malicia still has the phone in hand. Who was it? he wants to know. Tia Luisa, she says.
Pablo surprises Alejandro with the news that the date of his fight has been changed to accomodate bigshot Michael Gonzáles’s schedule. It’s now the day after tomorrow, not next weekend. Alej is unsure at first, but with a little encouragement from Pablo, decides that yes, he’s ready. He spreads the word, calling Gloria who says:
¿Quién me iba a decir que me iba a sentir tan orgullosa de verte luchar? Bless you baby!
Who would have said that I’d feel so proud to see you fight?
Nati is also proud of him. He tells her he wants her in the front row cheering him on.
In Fez, Zoraida tells Jade that Jadiya will be coming to Morocco with Latifa.
Just then Rania pays an unexpected call on Jade. She has decided she likes Jade’s room better than her own and she demands that they change rooms immediately. Listen honey, says Jade, this is my family’s house and my room and I’m staying put. But I’m pregnant, whines Rania. You can just take your pregnant tush out of here, says Jade. Well I’m telling Said what you said, harrumphs Rania and flounces out.
Enter little Zumaya. She has overheard Amina and Rania say they are deliberately baiting Jade so she will get in trouble with Said.
And indeed, Rania is downstairs bending Said’s ear about the mistreatment she received from Jade. Okay, okay, I’ll talk to Jade, promises Said.
Said asks Jade to humor Rania’s whims. You know how sensitive pregnant women are. Jade’s not buying it. If she’s not comfortable here, she responds, why don’t you take her to a hotel. Why do you always make everything so difficult? sputters an exasperated Said.
Sneaky Amina has been lurking and listening and now runs to Rania with the glad tidings that Said is scolding Jade. It turns out Rania has the same question some of us have entertained here: When Said remarries Jade, will she still be the first wife? I hadn’t thought about it, answers Amina.
Albieri is out with Ali and some of his men searching for Daniel in the ruins. You shouldn’t have let yourselves get separated, says Ali. I shouldn’t have done a lot of things, says Albieri
He needn’t worry, or at least about Daniel’s whereabouts. Daniel enters the hotel lobby. Lucas is there too…
Back in Miami, a happy Natalia shows up at Casa Ferrer. Rosa wants to know if Nati has talked to her parents. Doña Gloria cares about me more than my own mother does, says Nati. I wouldn’t be so sure of that, says Rosa. That woman had the nerve to tell me you were using drugs. Natalia wipes her nose, listens silently. You can’t trust that woman, concludes Rosa.
At the clinic, Luisa muses to Anita that maybe she didn’t know Albieri as well as she thought she did.
And in Fez, Ali and Albieri are walking through the Medina when Albieri gets a call: Daniel is in the hotel. Now I can breathe again, says Albieri.
At the hotel, Albieri is shocked to meet up with Lucas, even more shocked to hear that Cristina is in the same hotel, but relieved that Luisa isn’t with her.
Albieri finds Daniel waiting for him in the room. He scolds him for wandering away and then tells him to pack up. They are moving to another hotel.
¡Han traido luz y alegría a esta casa!
You have brought light and joy to this house! says the beaming Ali to the merry band just arrived from Miami. Mohamed announces his plans to arrange marriages for his children while they are there. Samira whispers to her mother that she won’t accept the idea of someone else choosing a husband for her.
Jadiya runs upstairs to find her mother.
Said is upstairs with Jade telling her she won’t be permitted to see Jadiya until after Zein has returned her to him. El libro sagrado dice… (The holy book says…) The holy book says nothing, retorts Jade. I know my rights and I know your rights and there’s no way you can keep me from seeing my daughter!
And right on cue, Jadiya runs in and throws her arms around her mommy. Then she turns to Said and asks: Is it true you’re going to have another child? Yes, he says, you’ll have a little brother or sister. I don’t want you to have a baby with Rania, says Jadiya. I asked you to return Rania and you didn’t do it. Jadiya tells Jade to be sure to marry her father again after she marries his friend. Lo que tú quieras, mi amor, lo que tú quieras (whatever you want, my love, whatever you want.) Said stares at the floor.
Lucas catches up with Cristina at the hotel and tells her he saw Albieri. And Cristina calls Luisa with the news: he was alone. Luisa is so relieved!
¡Voy a comprar un pasaje a Marruecos hoy mismo!
I’m going to buy a ticket to Morocco this very day!
Back in Miami, Estela is concerned that Dora didn’t keep her appointment with the doctor. She promises to reschedule it as soon as she’s taken care of a few things. And when is Osvaldo coming back from his trip? asks Estela. I don’t know, answers Dora, his mother is even sicker. Before Dora has to make up any more lies, the phone rings: she smiles as she listens and then says: Cristina ha encontrado a Daniel. (Cristina has found Daniel)
Daniel is in fact seated at a table in the Medina with Albieri trying to disentangle the lies Albieri has told him:
Papá, si yo nací de mi madre Dora, por qué no soy hijo suyo? No entiendo por que me dijiste que mi mamá verdadera se murió.
Papa, if my mother Dora gave birth to me, why aren’t I her son? I don’t understand why you said that my real mother died.
When we see my friend Ali, I’ll explain everything, says Albi, and then you’ll understand.
Ali’s house is filled with the joyful business of preparing for a wedding. The women are gathered together and a relaxed and happy Jade is attended to by a servant. (I think she is waxing her legs). Jadiya explains hair removal customs to Samira. Rania, looking vaguely Hare Krishna in her orange robe, observes grumpily: I don’t understand why she’s so happy. Even Latifa is puzzled by Jade’s radiant smile.
Abdul once again tells Said he’s making a big mistake. It’s too late for regrets, says Said.
Jade, gorgeous in her white bridal gown trimmed in gold, gold crown on her head, asks Zoraida: Did you get what I asked for? Allah, forgive me, says Zoraida, and hands Jade a small brown bottle.
Ali tells Jade that she is being given one last chance to hold on to Said’s heart and that she shouldn’t throw it to the winds.
Said reminisces about the day Jade was dressed that way for him and Mohamed replies that he prays for Allah to tear that odalisca out of his heart.
Ali asks Amin about his ideal bride and he describes Miss K and imagines her dressed in white.
And Ali’s parting shot to Said:
Si no te hubieras obstinado en tener negocios con los occidentales, no hubieras llevado a Jade cerca de Lucas. Y yo te lo dije. La soberbia es una trampa muy peligrosa igual que el orgullo.
If you hadn’t insisted on doing business with the westerners, you wouldn’t have brought Jade close to Lucas. And I told you so. Arrogance is a very dangerous trap and so is pride.
Rania complains to Amina that Said is jealous of Jade’s marriage to Zein. Said has even gone to the trouble of renting the room adjacent to the bridal chamber so Zein can slip out and avoid spending a night with Jade.
Jade looks radiant. Said looks miserable. And Lucas paces in the hotel dining room.
Zein explains to Cristina that she can’t witness the actual wedding because it is just for men. In fact, symbolically, he is marrying the bride’s uncle. What a waste, says Cris. I think I prefer the weddings on telenovelas!
And at the men’s ceremony, Zein looks appropriately solemn, Said looks even more miserable and Abdul shakes his head.
In the women’s room, wedding poetry is read for Jade as Latifa smiles, Rania looks surly and the Naz turns away in disgust. Then the witnesses from the men’s ceremony approach: Jade, do you accept Zein? I accept.
In the men’s ceremony, Zein asks the question of Ali who also accepts.
Jade enters and the bridal couple see each other for the first time. They do not appear to be disappointed. A dazzled Zein places a ring on Jade’s finger. Said – let’s say it together – Said glowers. And Rania watches him watching Jade.
Just outside the festivities, Lucas tells Cristina that the bride is Jade. She is impactada.
Abdul calls over Jasmin and introduces her to Mohamed. Fortunately Samira sees what is happening, alerts her mother, who marches up and says:
Ya le dijiste que soy la primera esposa y la única? él no puede tener más esposas, es en nuestro contracto.
Did you tell her that I’m the first and only wife? He can’t have more wives, it’s in our contract.
Back in Miami, Nati is rifling frantically through her bag. Her phone rings. It’s Alejandro wondering why she hasn’t arrived yet. I’m on my way, she says.
Another cut to Enrique and his story…
Nati calls Fernando and they arrange to go to meet their dealer.
In Fez, Lucas confides to Cris that he and Jade are planning to run away together. If they catch us, they’ll kill us. Please let Jade know I’m here and I’m ready.
Cris enters the party and sees the radiant Jade held aloft in the bridal chair.
Daniel and Albi are walking through the Medina when Daniel stops and bends over, as if in pain. It is a sense of distress (angustia)
…como si algo me fuera a pasar…como si tuviera que cuidarme de algún peligro.

Corazon Salvaje 7/22/10 And the Trial Continues
Episode 109
We start off with a replay Aimee reminding Juan that she is the only one that can save him. He scowls at her. Cut to Reggie who is telling Nana that Juan is the only man for her.
The abuelos are trying to figure out what to do about Mariella. They think Jimena is not good for her and they need to get away.
Jimena is in the hut and Jacinta is comforting her. Jimena thinks she’s not important and nobody will care for her. Jacinta tells her that is not true. Do you think this woman is familiar? She doesn’t remember her family. She tells Jacinta something very strange happened when she was walking down the street. She saw a woman buying a carmel apple for her child and at that moment she had a memory of something similar happening to her. Wow! Jacinta is impressed but doesn’t know what that could mean.
Back at the courthouse Aimee has to ruin the moment with Nana and Reggie. Reggie says you again? She taunts Reggie about her bad luck with men. Nana tells Aimee that Juan is not like that. Talk to her fan because Juan is like all the others. Clemencia says she’d rather wait elsewhere so that the two sisters can rip each other’s hair out. Uh, I mean talk. Reggie wants to know what she’s doing there in the first place. Aimee says you have no right to ask me that. Reggie says oh but I do and whips out the little note Aimee wrote to Juan. Finally she is so busted. She holds the note up so Aimee can get a good look at it. You recognize this don’t you. Aimee asks her where she got it as she tries to snatch it from Reggie. It doesn’t matter where I got it but it does matter if I put this in the hands of Renato. She doesn’t think she’d really do it. It’s nobody’s fault but your own. Why would you send this to Juan? I’ve sacrificed everything for you. Aimee laughs. Whatever. You get to be with Juan that doesn’t seem like a big sacrifice. I’m his wife you hateful cow. His wife? Aimee finds that funny. I love him says Reggie. Aimee doesn’t care she just wants to know how that paper got in her hands. Aimee says that Juan loves her. Regina gives her back the note. You did it for Renato. For your love for Renato says Aimee. Renato comes up at that point and listens. Yes! Now hopefully he’ll find out what a lying Ho his wife really is. You love Renato with all your heart. Renato comes in and tells them the judge is back. Aimee says she’s not going to go back in because of everything that’s happened. Especially her madrina. It is such a scandal and it could kill her. We can only hope. Renato says something but it sounds like he has marbles in his mouth but it was something to the effect that Regina was as equal as he is and she will be in there because of her husband. If that isn’t right please correct.
Lulu shows up at Dr. Pablo’s and finds Colibri. She brings a huge basket of food for Remi. She hopes he likes it. She leaves. Colibri brings the food to Remi who is lying in bed. Colibri tells him that the beautiful girl from the casino brought him some food. He pushes Colibri away and says he doesn’t want it. He shouts at poor Colibri that he doesn’t want it don’t you understand? I don’t want anything from her. Poor Colibri.
Over at Raul’s house the abuelos are comforting Mariella. She assures them she feels much better. It is just to many emotions at once. Abuela thinks that Jimena is at fault. Mariella tries to assure them that it is not Jimena’s fault but the old bat won’t stop talking. What she feels for Jimena cannot be broken. Abuelo gets his 2 cents in there saying she’s not your daughter. You can’t feel for a stranger more than your own daughter. Mari says she has the same feelings but they are stronger. Jimena is not a stranger. She is like my daughter. Abuela says not to say this what would happen if Fake Angela heard this? I say who cares? Lulu shows up at the house. The Abuelos look at her funny.
Back at court Aimee tells Regina that for her information she’s the only one that can get Juan out of his situation. FF>> Aimee struts out with her fan fluttering. I think Regina would have felt much better if she had just popped her in the mouth. I know I would have. I hope that pie cart is picking up speed. It’s going to need a lot of speed if it is going to take out Aimee, Rod, and Leo all at once. Regina cries. I’m all for Regina but seriously she needs to stop all this sniveling. Grow a backbone girl!
Everyone files into the courtroom. Leo says she’s feeling better but she can’t believe he said she was a murderer in front of all these people. It was a bad moment. Yeah, because it’s all true. Raul talks about MdR and her mysterious disappearance. There is a lot of clanking in the background. He says the whole thing was just strange. Leo whispers something to Rod about the accusations in front of all these people. He tells her not to worry about it. She says she’s afraid. (Oh you should be. You should be very afraid.) Don’t forget you’re a Montes de Oca. Regina tells Renato she doesn’t want to go into the past. Renato thinks the past is the only way they can get this thing resolved. She doesn’t want to do it. He wants her to have confidence in him. That’s just stupid. How many times did she tell you she loves Juan and she wants to be with him? I’m about to FF>> him too every time he opens his mouth.
Back to Mari and her parents. They don’t like Lulu being in the house. Doesn’t Mari know where she works? Uh, she’s standing right there and can hear every word you little snots are saying. They act like she’s got cooties or something. Mari welcomes her warmly. She wants to show her her room and the kitchen. Lulu is uncomfortable and doesn’t want to cause any problems. She says don’t worry about it.
Apparently Filipe sucks at driving a coach too. He just got canned. Poor guy. I like him.
The Abuelos just don’t understand what is going on. They want to get back to Puebla so they can plan a long trip to Europe and get Mari away from Jimena so she can know her real daughter Fake Angela.
Poor Felipe sits on a bench and cries into his hat. He pulls out his handkerchief and it is full of flour.
Court is back in session. It’s Renato’s turn to speak. It is my intention to prove that the accused is a monster. Everyone groans. He says it wouldn’t be too cool for him to be set free. He can’t just go taking the law into his own hands. He’s a big fat loser and that is why I’m asking for the strictest punishment. The courtroom erupts. Somebody take Renato out back and beat the crap out of him. Please. Reggie is beside herself. The judge threatens that if people can’t conduct themselves appropriately the courtroom will be cleared. Everyone sits down. Reggie looks at Juan and thinks to herself that Aimee lied. Juan does love her. Juan thinks to himself that Reggie really loves him. Renato is thinking that they love each other. He looks dejected. Good. The judge says now they will hear from the accused. Juan says that he was only trying to get justice. Because in this town there is no justice for everyone. This is the reality and the intentions of my acts. I believe in the law. But in this law we are punished and nothing more. The law can accuse, can attack you for your acts. I am Juan del Diablo or according to my wife Juan de Dios. A woman I love and at this moment is in a difficult situation. I’ve committed a lot of acts. Everything I did was in the memory of my parents. I believe my actions were noble and just. It was never for my own benefit. It was for the benefit of others. Always. I’ve been called a thief, a bandit, and liar. But I have compassion for others. Renato asks permission to ask one more question. Uh oh...
You have confessed that you think the law isn’t just (? Help me out here.) Of course. Clanking of chains--something is stupid. It’s stupid that you declare yourself innocent.
Aimee made it home and takes out the note and looks at it. She reads the note. I love you. Your kisses your arms. Please destroy this note after you read it. She burns the note.
Renato is giving his closing arguments. All you can do is find him guilty. Noel stands up to give his closing arguments. He’s had a rough life. Juan de Dios--Juan Del Diablo is a strong force. Like a hurricane he changes everything in its path. He tells the jury that this is the time to make things right. In the name of Maria del Rosario and Juan de Dios San Roman--Justice. Don’t condemn him. The courtroom erupts as the fisher folk stand and cheer. Renato asks permission to question Noel. (What the heck?) He asks Noel if he is a man of the law. Noel says he only looks for truth for the accused. You know I said nothing but the truth son. So what is it that like about Juan del Diablo’s actions. Justice is superior. You know his whole story. The courtroom is going crazy and the Judge tries to get control. Good luck with that. Noel asks Renato to forgive him but he has to go with his feelings. The judge sends the jury off to deliberate. Court is adjourned. Juan and Reggie smile at each other as everyone files out of the courtroom. Noel comforts Regina.
Today Felipe is a carpenter. I bet that goes well--NOT. He gets a splinter. He destroys all the wood within reach. Now he’s getting lessons on hammering a nail. He almost swallows the nail. He tries to hit it with the hammer but he flies over his shoulder. FF>>
Juan sits in his cell with no shoes on. He has flashbacks of he and Regina on the boat under the stars. Their little party. Their kisses. Juan has a visitor. It’s the capitan of the coast guard boat. He tells Juan that a woman gave him a note to give to him but he didn’t know who it was. Juan immediately knows it is Aimee. Capitan says he has his unconditional gratitude and friendship. Someone yells in the background that the jury will be coming back in a few minutes. Maybe we won’t have to wait until Friday. Reggie is talking to the Boyz when Leo walks up and scolds Reggie for the scandal she’s caused. Yeah right. It’s Renato’s fault. Leo thinks it is real easy to blame others. Well you should know sister. You’re the queen of blaming others. It’s a big mess and you’re a big loser and there is no remedy for it. She excuses herself to go be with her husband. Why does she wear that goofy scarf on her head. Renato comes up to Leo and says this is the time for him to win the heart of Regina. ( Do I even have to say what I‘m thinking?) Leo thinks he has more important things to do. FF>>
The judge walks in. Juan is brought to the box. The judge asks the jury if they have a verdict. They are really drawing this out. The foreman gives the verdict to the bailiff. The judge looks it over very slowly. Regina looks like she’s going to pass out. He reads from the paper. NOT GUILTY. Woo hoo! I’m doing a little happy dance but you can’t see me. Everyone is happy except for Leo, Rod and Renato. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of people. Juan thanks the judge and is given his papers. He sits on the steps. Reggie is blocked from coming to him but Noel says to let her pass. They embrace and cry tears of happiness as do I.

Someone yells in the background that the jury will be coming back in a few minutes. Maybe we won’t have to wait until Friday. Reggie is talking to the Boyz when Leo walks up and scolds Reggie for the scandal she’s caused. Yeah right. It’s Renato’s fault. Leo thinks it is real easy to blame others. Well you should know sister. You’re the queen of blaming others. It’s a big mess and you’re a big loser and there is no remedy for it. She excuses herself to go be with her husband. Why does she wear that goofy scarf on her head. Renato comes up to Leo and says this is the time for him to win the heart of Regina. ( Do I even have to say what I‘m thinking?) Leo thinks he has more important things to do. FF>>
The judge walks in. Juan is brought to the box. The judge asks the jury if they have a verdict. They are really drawing this out. The foreman gives the verdict to the bailiff. The judge looks it over very slowly. Regina looks like she’s going to pass out. He reads from the paper. NOT GUILTY. Woo hoo! I’m doing a little happy dance but you can’t see me. Everyone is happy except for Leo, Rod and Renato. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of people. Juan thanks the judge and is given his papers. He sits on the steps. Reggie is blocked from coming to him but Noel says to let her pass. They embrace and cry tears of happiness as do I.

Dinero #159- 7/22/10: A War In Iraq! Who Knew?! or Blame It All On Chavez
Marian has arrived at Rafa’s house early in the morning to make him an offer. She can’t stop thinking about him. (She takes his hand.) She wants him. (Rafa starts to get uncomfortable and Marian starts to back off.) Errr…she wants him to come work for her. Rafa explains about the resume debacle and needing to stay at Siglo till the end of the month. Marian will wait. Rafa accepts the offer. He's all hers.
Marco and Rubi also have an early breakfast meeting at a restaurant. She is ticked that he and Chavez sent her to that awful place with bombs falling everywhere. Marco innocently claims he didn’t know there was a war in Iraq. “Who knew?” He places the blame on Chavez, since it was his idea. Whatever. Rubi wants to talk business, and specifically about the hacienda. She’s more interested in it than ever (uh oh). And she wants to live there with her Georgie. Marco tells her that’s impossible because Jorge doesn’t even have a house now, much less the hacienda. Rubi departs, but first lets Marco know that she’s going to check if his story is true. If not, he’ll find out what she’s capable of!
Marco’s soul mate Chavez (if either of them had a soul) has just landed in Mexico, disguised as a bearded, turbaned Arab to throw the po-po (that’s police for those not in the know) off his scent. He calls Marco up. “I’m here!” He tries out his fake Arab accent and gets five pesos from a passerby for his efforts. He tells Marco that he has to see him right away, he will meet him at Marco’s apartment , and hangs up before Marco can say anything to stop him. Marco rushes off to divert Chavez before he ruins things for him with Ale’s family.
As everyone arrives at Autos Siglo, Marino is assuring them that there’s a new boss in town and they’ll all know soon enough. He threatens Dandy that he’ll be the first one to get the boot. The sales team wants to know what Marino knows, but he tells them cockily to have patience. Just then Ale breezes in, looking very lovely and relaxed for someone who’s supposedly just gotten axed. Marino tells the team that she’s likely just there to pack up her stuff.
Ale greets Susana and finds out that Rafa is already there and wants to start the sales meeting as soon as Ale arrives. Susana goes to rally the troops to the sales meeting room. Marino insists that they don’t have to go to any meeting run by Rafa and Ale. Ale walks up just then and tells the whole sales team that Marino is right. They don’t HAVE to go anywhere, but she tells Susana to prepare the paperwork for disciplinary action for all of them. Everyone, except Marino, starts to make their way quickly to the sales room. Rafa comes out and wants to know what’s the hold-up. Ale tells him about Marino’s mutiny and Marino starts to get indignant and up in Rafa’s face. Rafa stands his ground and gets right back in Marino’s face. Soon both their jackets are off and they’re ready to rumble. The sales team holds them back and Ale tries to reason with them to stop.
The fight ends with them both putting their jackets back on and Marino putting everyone on notice that Rafa and Ale will be fired soon and he’ll be the boss. Ale tells him that she and Rafa are indeed the bosses. Marino walks off muttering, “We’ll see.” He runs into Beltran’s office whining like a five year old and annoying the heck out of Beltran. Beltran informs him that Rafa and Ale are leaving at the end of the month, giving him enough time to find reasonable replacements (sorry Marino, that means it’s not you). Beltran kicks him out of his office telling him to go do his job, meaning sell some cars and make Beltran some money, money, money.
Back at Marco’s place, he’s just managed to catch the still disguised Chavez before he enters the apartment where Rosario and Jorge are having breakfast. He hustles Chavez away just before Rosario and Jorge open the door. It seems that Rosario knows the voice of that slime Chavez and is sure she heard it. Jorge wonders if she’s starting to imagine things and has her hold up four fingers, which HE counts (lol!). He declares that she’s fine and they go back into the apartment. Marco and Chavez return to the hallway in front of the door and Chavez declares that his voice is distinctive like the late Pavarotti’s, and that’s why Rosario recognized it. Marco doesn’t buy that, and neither do we. They go elsewhere to talk. They head to their favorite bar where Marco explains all that has happened with Ale and her family, the house, and their moving in to his place. Oh, and Chavez has been fired as administrator of the hacienda and Marco’s taken over. Chavez quickly catches on that Marco has stabbed him in the back and laid all the blame for the mismanagement of the hacienda on him. He is not happy with his soul mate. Marco claims they have bigger problems right now. Both Quintana and Rubi want a cut of their depreciating resources. Marco needs Chavez help to solve these problems. Chavez pouts and wonders how he can be of any help, now that he’s been cut off from his ATM (the hacienda). Marco gives him some cash and tells him to get to work. He then calls Rubi after Chavez leaves.
Rubi just happens to be having a meal with Quintana, getting the real scoop on what’s been going on. They are both sure that they have Marco and Chavez just where they want them, in the palm of their hand. When Marco calls, he tells Rubi they need to talk business. Quintana immediately then receives a call from Chavez telling him that they need to talk business. Quintana and Rubi agree that they will make Chavez and Marco pay dearly for all they have done (especially sending Rubi off to that war zone).
When Quintana and Chavez meet, it appears that Chavez is hurt enough to switch sides. He tells Quintana that Marco is not to be trusted. Quintana is all ears. Marco’s and Rubi’s meeting is not so easy. She wants what she wants, and that’s Jorge and the hacienda. Marco distracts her by telling her what bad shape Jorge is in. A concerned Rubi wants to know what happened to her Goergie. “Que tiene? Has he said something? Has he asked for me?” Rubi wants to go see him right away at the apartment. Marco slows her down by reminding her that the ladies of the household won’t be so happy to see her. And they can’t meet at the hacienda either. It’s in as bad of shape as the bombed out houses in Iraq. Marco will take care of setting up a meeting with Jorge. “Trust me.” Rubi is not so keen to trust Marco again after what he did to her. “It’s not my fault. It was Chavez!”
Back at Siglo, Ramirez and the rest of the crew want to know if the rumors are true that Ale and Rafa were fired. Rafa, surprisingly, decides to tell the truth (at least part of it) to stop all the rumors before they get worse. He admits that there were untruths in his resume about his education and degrees, and that Ale is suffering the consequences since she hired him (he says nothing about her being the one to make up the resume), and they are both leaving at the end of the month. After the meeting Claudia gives them both a Judas kiss and tells them she will miss them both. Bebe’s same sentiments are actually real, and the General thinks they’ll all survive. Ale tells Rafa sarcastically that he better start searching for a new job, because she knows marrying Vicky Vicky Vicky won’t be cheap. Rafa one ups her by letting her know he’s already found another job, and walks off. Ale and Susana are left open mouth impactada.
Susana lets Ale know that she failed at her attempts to get Dandy to talk. Ale guesses that whatever Rafa’s group of amigos has going on is pretty serious. Susana doubts that Nelson (Dandy) could ever do anything to hurt her. Ale thinks they need to get the information out of Jimenez or Pepeto. Outside, the Four Amigos meet to discuss the latest plan (while Dandy keeps a steady pace on the revolving car pedestal). They remind Rafa that time is running out, and he’s still got to put a stop to his wedding and Ale’s wedding. And now he’s lost his job too. Rafa lets them know he’s already found another. And it’s with Marian Celeste. The boys are impressed, “Ay, mamacita!”
Rafa pleads with Dandy. He’s his only hope. “I’m in your hands.” Dandy doesn’t want to do anything that will hurt his relationship with his Nonicita. “If my Noni finds out, then we’re through.” Rafa assures him that he’ll cover for him. He hands him Carmela’s address.
When Dandy arrives at Carmela’s office, he finds her busy at work with her usual retinue of female assistants. All work stops though as soon as she catches sight of Dandy. Carmela likes what she sees and so do her assistants. “How can I serve you?”, she purrs. Dandy drops some lie about representing a company that will help her improve her archiving system. Carmela wants whatever he’s selling, unfortunately she’s just about to leave for a business trip. If he leaves his business card, she will definitely call him as soon as she gets back and they’ll check out that archive system together. “No business card? Well just lean over my desk here and write down your name and number.” One of the assistants takes this opportunity to squeeze Dandy’s Charmin. Carmela has Dandy make a very SLOW exit, while she and her assistants take time to appreciate the view. Carmela swears that she won’t let him escape her. When a not so guapo guy then comes into her office asking about the Hacienda Alejandra, he doesn’t get such a warm greeting. (Who is this guy and what’s going on with the hacienda now?)
Jaime has a chat with his buddy Jesus. It’s either sin (lying to Rafa and everyone), or death (at the hands of Rafa and Vicky’s brothers). “What do I do? Answer me!”
Susana’s also wrestling with doubts. She remembers Ale’s words about Rafa and his amigos and their “perversions” with women (toying with them). She goes into Rafa’s office wanting to know Dandy’s whereabouts, since he has an appointment with a client. Rafa is a terrible liar, and tells her that Dandy is with another client, Ortiz. When Susana calls the supposed client Ortiz, she quickly finds out that this is a lie. Susana immediately goes to Ale with her doubts. Ale of course fuels the fire, detailing Rafa’s and his friends’ perversions. Susana tearfully says that if it’s true, she’ll NEVER forgive Nelson (uh oh).
Susana later confronts Rafa about the truth about Dandy. Rafa explains that they are not up to no good, but Susana is done listening if he’s not going to give her a real explanation. When Dandy arrives she gets more upset and heads to Ale’s office, leaving a perplexed Dandy and an exasperated Rafa. When Rafa explains to Dandy what happened, Dandy is panicked. He does not want to lose Susana and sees the only way to avoid that being to tell Susana the whole truth. Rafa stops him and asks for more time, but Dandy draws a line in the sand. Either Rafa tells Ale the whole truth right now, or Dandy tells Susana!
Tomorrow: Marco arranges a meeting between Rubi and Jorge, who look very happy to see each other. Rafa blurts out some hard truths about Marco to an impactada Ale.
