Nati confesses to Alej that she did take the money (Yo sí tomé el dinero). When Nati says, 'Soy la peor, ¿verdad?
'I am the worst, right?, Alej should say, no you're not but you need help from professionals. But he doesn't. He says that Nati should give the money back. Of course, she can't because she spent it on you know what. Alej says that he will give her the money from what his trainer gives him. He says that Nati made a mistake and once she admits to it, everything will be ok. Nati doesn't want to go and Alej the super enabler offers to return the money for her.

Jadiya wants Jade to come home with her but she refuses. She tells Jade not to tell anyone about their meeting and then they can meet in secret like this everyday. Jadiya says that she doesn't want Jade to go to Morocco. Jade replies that if that is what Allah decrees for her, she must accept it.
Lucas calls Marisa. This time it is he who is fighting back tears. He tells Marisa that, 'Natalia se está matando en frente de nosotros y no podemos hacer nada,' Natalia is killing herself before our eyes and we can't do anything. Marisa won't give up on Nati. She tells Lucas to man up and come home so that they can try and find a solution.
Alej comes to see Marisa. He tells her that Nati is very ashamed of what she did. Marisa asks if Nati admitted to taking the money. Alej says yes and that she asked him to return the money and assures her that it won't happen again. He hands her five $20's and we know Nati took a $100 dollar bill so Marisa also knows that this isn't the same money that Nati took.
He leaves. Marisa concludes that Nati took the money for Alej and that he became scared when Lucas came to the house. Rosa tries to defends Alej.

A distraught Latifa begs Zoraida to help her. She tells Zoraida that Zamira is in love with a Westerner. She is sure that Mohamed will curse Zamira and throw her to the winds, conclude that Latifa wasn't a good wife and use that as an excuse to take a 2nd wife. Zoriada says they will make Zamira forget the Westerner.
Jadiya makes her appearance at the party with a big jingly gold bib necklace. 
Yamil tells Jadiya that her audible jewelry is embarrassing. [What is with this kid? Is he some kind of puritan moslem?] Jade says, 'Yo pienso que es hermoso que una muer haga sonar su oro,' I think that it is beautiful when a woman has her gold make noise.
Yamil tells Jadiya that her audible jewelry is embarrassing. [What is with this kid? Is he some kind of puritan moslem?] Jade says, 'Yo pienso que es hermoso que una muer haga sonar su oro,' I think that it is beautiful when a woman has her gold make noise. Mohamed and Said think that Jadiya has forgotten about Jade.
Dora invites Daniel to come to the bar with her but he replies that his father, Father Andres and Ali are coming. Sarcastically, Dora asks which 'father' is Daniel talking about. Daniel replies, 'Mi padre es Albieri, así como tú eres mi mamá, aunque no nací de ti,' Albieri is my father just like you are my mother even though you didn't didn't give birth to me. Dora is furious. She cancels her plan to go out and says that she will keep those men from filling Daniel's head up with nonsense.
Daniel is fiddling with a veil and saying, 'Jade'. He reminds Dora of his dream and tells her that how now he can see the woman's face. She is the love of his life and he will marry her. 'You're going to marry a woman you've barely met? asks Dora skeptically.
Jade prays to Allah to protect her from Lucas and all the memories that ruined her life.
Jadiya tells Said that she saw her mother. She says that she wants Jade to come back and Jade does, too. She tells Said that Rania lied; Jade doesn't love the Westerner anymore. Said replies that Jadiya is too young to understand these things.
Little Jadiya can't leave well enough alone. She tells Rania that Jade is coming back and that Rania won't be first wife anymore.
The Chump calls Malicia demanding that she sign the transfer document. 
She blows him off and lies to Pablo about the call. She asks Pablo to take her out for dinner.
She blows him off and lies to Pablo about the call. She asks Pablo to take her out for dinner.The Chump has an infinite power to rationalize what Malicia tells him. He tells Anita that Malicia is refusing to sign to hurt Clara and doesn't realize it is hurting him, too. After he has left the room, Anita tells Julio about how she saw Malicia on the beach with young, hunky Pablo. She doesn't know whether to tell the Chump or not. Julio tells her that a man may forgive an infidelity but he never forgives the friend who told him about it.
Roberto tells Clara that the Chump and Malicia aren't living together in the apartment. That zorra is in the apartment that Escobar bought with my savings? says Clara. Yup, replies Roberto Clara is furious that the Chump would get involved with a woman who is taking him to the cleaners when he calls her stupid. Roberto is called into Leo's office.
Leo asks Roberto what he will do to bring Daniel to him. Roberto suggests getting Dora to agree to an adoption. Leo says that won't be possible. Roberto pretends that he is working on a solution but there is no legal precedent and he needs some time to work out the details. He says that if they go public, Albieri will certainly go to jail and there is no guarantee what the judge would do about Daniel [Listen to what Daniel wants, maybe? He's not a minor.] Leo is not interested in anything but results.
Roberto goes to Enrique for help.
Said finds Rania crying. She asks if it is true that Jade is coming back. Jadiya demands that Said tell Rania that Jade is coming back. Said replies that he hasn't decided yet. Rania reminds Said that he promised that Jade wouldn't return to their house. Said escapes from the confrontation. Jadiya isn't finished. She tells Rania that Jade will come back and all will be as it was before Rania came. She goes further and hopes that Rania has an ugly girl who is an exhibitionist. She also hopes that Allah shortens Rania's days and looks forward to dancing at Rania's funeral. Nice.
Zoraida goes to see Said. He tells her that Jade preferred anything to living with him and now that, 'Alá si la tiene agarrada por el pelo, ahora sí se acuerda de mí,' Allah has grabbed her by the hair, and now she remembers me. Zoraida tells him that Zein wants Jade back.
Cristina can't believe the change in Zein now that he is in love. We need a picture of Zein.
She can't believe that he is waiting around for a woman's decision. At first Cristina says that she is sure that Jade is done with Lucas but then she admits that she isn't sure. She can't predict the end of a romance. Just when you think that it's over, it starts up again.

She can't predict the end of a romance. Just when you think that it's over, it starts up again.Marisa tells Leo that Nati stole money from her.
Clara reams out Fernando for blowing his internship opportunity. She tells him to do the report he was assigned and bring it to Carolina with an apology. Fernando screams at her that he is tired of her sermons and of her giving him orders. He leaves.
The three not-so-wise men, Ali, Father Andres and Albieri arrive at Dora's. She warns them that if they have come to tell Daniel that he is a clone, they can turn around and leave. Daniel overhears, '¿Qué dijiste, Mama?' What did you say, Mama? he asks. Oops.
Dora refuses to let them speak to Daniel. They are about to leave when Dora tells Albieri that she came to his clinic to have a baby and what did he do? He ruined her life. He pursued her for 20 years and never gave her the chance to be a mother. She won't let them hurt her son. Dora almost faints from the intensity of her emotion and Daniel has to help her sit down.

Anita tries to make Luisa understand how a woman without much education would react to being told that, in spite of getting pregnant and giving birth, she isn't the child's mother. Anita asks Luisa who Daniel's mother is. Luisa doesn't know how to answer.
Ali tells Dora that as far as he is concerned, she is Daniel's mother. He says that if Albieri was able to create Daniel in a laboratory, it was because Allah permitted it as a warning to humanity. Dora asks what she did to deserve this. She never harmed anyone. Ali replies that this is a test from Allah for her. Meanwhile Father Andres is telling Estela that Dora will get in her reward in heaven and Ali is telling Dora that at the final judgment, Allah will give her credit for her tears. Dora replies that this isn't about God, it's about Dr. Albieri. Like the rest us, Dora is fed up with the theology. She announces that she believes God made a miracle with her son. She doesn't want to hear anything more. She says that she is Daniel's mother and she vows that no one will take him from her.
Enrique complains that Leo prefers Roberto's counsel to his and he has been stigmatized for being a former drug addict. Carolina tells him that she is there for him. Enrique tells her that he prepared the documents for the case [did we miss something here?] and Roberto only signed them. Carolina thinks that it is unfair that Roberto is getting credit for work that Enrique did. Enrique drones on about how he should be punished or some such thing. Clara calls Carolina about what has happened with Fernando. She says that it is affecting her relationship with Rogelio. Meanwhile Enrique is showing why he shouldn't be trusted by taking a hit on his flask. Carolina realizes that for Leo to prove that he is Daniel's father, he will have to show that Dora is not the mother.
Outside, Albieri is trying to explain to Daniel how he was conceived and put it in a good light - it's a new way of being born (es una forma nueva de nacer) he says. [That's wrong, of course. It's a new way of being conceived. Daniel was born the usual way.] As usual, Daniel is interested in paternity. Albieri tells him that if a DNA test were done, Leonardo would be his father and his dead wife, his mother. Daniel is destrozado.
'No tengo padre. No tengo madre. No tengo familia, I have no father. I have no mother. I have no family, says Daniel. Albieri says that isn't true. 'Soy sólo una copia de una persona que tú querías mucho,' I am only a copy of a person that you loved a lot, says Daniel. 'I thought you were my father but you made me a laboratory like the scientists in movies who make monsters. Albieri protest that Daniel isn't a monster.
Daniel says that he thought that Dora and Albieri had had a fling and that Albieri was his father. 'No soy hijo de nadie,' I'm not anyone's son, says Daniel sadly. 
He shakes off Albieri and runs away.

He shakes off Albieri and runs away.The credits roll.

Club Gancho 8/29/10 - What's everyone doing next weekend?
Ahoy Club Gancho! Well, I WAS going to post some pics from my trip to (or back from) Hawaii but our desk top is still down with a hard drive problem and I can't get my pictures! How irritating. Nor has anyone else downloaded so I am pictureless this week. How sad. It's only a delay, I promise.
I noticed that Carlos posted some drinks of the week on past posts. Today I started a batch of Limoncello and I should I have a lovely lemony libation in about two months. My friend Valerie from Italy gave me her family's recipe so it's very authentic. I'll share it with you today:
MANFREDINI FAMILY LIMONCELLO
20 lemons washed
1 liter pure grain alcohol (Everclear)
1/2 kg. white sugar (about 1 lb.) NOTE: I use less, more on that later.
1/2 liter white wine (light wine like Pinot Grigio) or water
Peel zest from lemons and try not to get too much white with the peels. Put peels into a large glass or ceramic crock and cover them with the PGA. Cover and let sit for 40 days in a cool, dark place. After 40 days remove the peels and strain the liquid. Put the wine and the sugar into a saucepan and heat over low flame until the sugar melts. NOTE: I use about half the sugar called for in the recipe because I find 1 lb is too sweet for my taste. Do not boil. When the sugar is dissolved and the wine has cooled add to the strained liquid, cover and store in cool, dark place for 10 more days. Turn and shake periodically during these 10 days. Decant and enjoy.
I usually do a double batch so I can give some away. It's delicious over ice but since it's made with pure grain alcohol it's best not to overdo lest you get a headache. Of course you can purchase Limoncello almost anywhere these days but it's fun to make it.
Hey, what's everyone doing next week for the long weekend? Are you doing something traditional? Something different? Staying home and relaxing or going away?
I do the traditional; this is what we do...For many years a group of friends, those of us who dive, have gone up to the north coast of California (Gualala) for camping, spearfishing and abalone diving. We've been doing it for so many years that now we are the old farts and the kids are diving too! A friend owns some land so we all bring our tents and set up camp. We also set up swings and zip lines for the kids so they can entertain themselves. Everyone goes out on Saturday and gets their limit of abalone (2 per person) and whatever unlucky fishies happens to get in the way. Then we have a big feast and potluck later that day. Abalone has to be sliced and pounded so the big folk do the slicing and the little folk do the pounding. Then we fry it all up and eat like kings. Repeat on Sunday except we add a blackberry picking excursion.
I'd love to hear what everyone else has planned, whether it involves travel or hanging around the house. So what's cookin'???

Llena de Amor #15 Fri 8/27/10
Netty and crew are ready to eat in the dark when some spooky lady shows up asking if this is the place that rents rooms.
I (we) are forced to suffer through the fake rape Mauricio/Mari scene again. This actor is a great bad guy, I never see him on screen without feeling the urge to kick him in the nuts.
Fedra is upset that Netty plans on getting involved in the whole inheritance mess. She wants The Mask to ‘take care of them’ – Mari and Netty. In the words of recapper/reader Kat, “Fedra is fugly and she makes me sick.” Well said.
Lorenzo cries and yells at people, the maid runs to call an ambulance. He’s so upset that Muneca did this, not seeing that it’s all his fault, really. He is mad at her for ‘playing this game’, and yells for the ambulance again, I guess he thinks they are magic or can fly.
More ugliness as Mauricio pretends to rape Mari.
Delicia debates whether or not to read Mari’s diary, she finally decides yes. She slowly opens it. Poems and love notes for EMANUEL.
The whole house stares at the creepy lady, one wants Netty to throw her out, but Netty says of course not and invites her in. Netty shakes her hand and there is an electric shock between them, creepy lady suddenly says she is receiving something, the others realize she is a medium. Wow this show just took a hard turn towards ridiculous. They try to sit creepy lady down, but then she says to Netty “the only one here who needs help is YOU.” Say goodbye to a decent rate on your rental, after that comment!
Emanuel, accompanied by his hot sister and his hot girlfriend, is knocking on Mari’s door. Of course there is no answer, inside Mauricio has his hand over Mari’s mouth. Mauricio tells Mari she better not say anything, or he’ll tell Eman that she came on to HIM. She says she’ll yell the truth, he says fine go ahead, see who they believe. I realized this is the second time now that I’ve seen this actor pretend to rape this actress, it happened in MEPS too, though she didn’t have the fat suit that time.
Creepy lady says a powerful lady is going to close all of Netty’s paths. She is channeling Juan Pastor. A woman with seven demons will not rest until she sees Netty dead. A fugly woman, no doubt. Netty says the same thing, “Fedra!”
Eman gets in with a key, nobody is in the room. The chicks say it’s strange, they left her there and went to get Eman, now she’s gone. Kristel wonders in her head if Mauricio has Mari in the bathroom, completing his plan. Eman finds the dress on the bed and is mad that they bought maternity, they have stores for people like Mari! The girls say yeah, but no way are they going to set foot in one of THOSE stores.
Netty wants to know about Mari from creepy lady, but after hearing the name Fedra, she had collapsed on the chair and lost her connection with Juan Pastor, apparently. Creepy lady wakes up and looks at Netty funny, and says she wants to rent a room. The lights come back on, freaking everyone out.
Mauricio has Mari in the bathroom, I guess, and is telling her to keep quiet. Kristel is leaning on the door on the other side, making Eman suspicious. He knocks, no answer.
Delicia, like every stupid novela character ever, says her thoughts out loud REALLY LOUD about what she CAN’T LET ANYONE FIND OUT, namely that Mari is IN LOVE! Of course Nereida is right there and hears it and wants to know who. They fight over the diary. This fight would be a lot better in bikinis and jello, just saying.
Now Eman is trying to unlock the other door, complaining about how all the doors have locks. Me too dude. The girls insist on looking for Mari, in other places. Not here, other places. They insist that they want to be friends with Mari, that’s why they bought her this stuff! Fedra comes in and says “WHO bought WHAT for la gorda?” Apparently that is against the law in that house.
Nereida’s hair comes loose in the fight, nice. Delicia ends up with the diary and runs off.
Lorenzo is talking to the other woman on his cell phone right there in Camila’s hospital room. He is blaming her for what happened, after her phone call. She says whatever, now you are free of her. Lorenzo says it’s the mother of his daughter! Lady says “hey, we have a son too.” He says it’s a lie, he has heard it before. She says she’ll prove it. Come over to her place and see. He says she’ll pay if she bothers him or his wife again.
Fedra wants an explanation from Kristel, it was paid for with Fedra’s money it turns out and she is beside herself. She prohibits any more expenditures on Mari’s behalf. Eman tries to go talk to her. Mauricio in the other room says ok they’re gone, let’s get down to business. Kristel tells Ilitia that Mauricio and Mari are in the bathroom. Mari slaps Mauricio in the face, pushes him away, and his towel falls. She freaks out and turns away covering her eyes. She tries to leave, he stops her. Great. I get the episode long rape attempt, lucky me. She slaps him again. Then starts hitting him with a painting an escapes. She runs over the other two girls on her way out, who were eavesdropping.
Mari runs past Eman and Fedra talking in the hall, when Eman tries to stop her, she trips and falls down the stairs. In slow motion. So we might think she died or something, here in only the 15th episode of the show. Maybe now she ends up in a coma and in the process loses all the weight. We’re all ready for the fat part to be over, right?
Netty stresses, somehow the lights went off again. Oh it’s the middle of the night and she was pacing. Brandon’s mom shows up and they stress and worry together.
Eman runs to Mari, yells at his mom to call an ambulance, do something useful for once. Mari comes around. Fedra says “lucky” and walks upstairs. Mari says she’s in bad shape, mostly from being here (in this house). You got that right. She gets up and says she has to leave to feel better. She leaves.
Mauricio comes out of the bathroom naked, Ilitia freaks out. Kristel teases him. Ilitia throws the pregnancy dress at him and tells him to cover up. Yes please. He says ah, it bothers you to see this, compared to what you normally see (a dig at Eman). She says of course not! There is a knock at the door. They all panic.
Mari sits outside and cries and whines. Delicia wanders by and sees her. She comes over and is disgusted with the makeup the girls put on her. Mari tells her what Mauricio did. Delicia takes Mari inside.
Eman is at the door, yelling at Ilitia, there’s someone else there, right? Mauricio ends up on the balcony again. He jumps off, landing right in front of Fedra. Oooops. “Lose your clothes again, Mauricio?” Hahaha. Good one. “let me guess, they came back and assaulted you again?”
In the kitchen, Mari tells the whole story to Delicia. Delicia says to tell everyone, Mari says what for, they won’t believe me. Of course not. She’ll stay quiet and this will go on forever. Wow her makeup really is bad. Delicia says Mari looked for a little trouble, though, being in love with Emanuel.
Eman yells at the girls. They get all defensive “omg how could you accuse us” etc etc. “some people don’t know how to accept love and caring.” Eman has heard enough. “She fell down the stairs, almost died” Really? She got up and walked away, but whatever. “She wants to leave this house, what did you do to her?” Then he holds his head like he is having an aneurysm, that’s the second time tonight I’ve seen that. I’m sure it means something. He falls onto the bed, the girls are alarmed.
Mauricio makes excuses, but Fedra doesn’t want to hear it. She tells him that if Emiliano finds out about this, he’ll kill him. Mauricio begs her to not say anything, Fedra says fine, but…. Mauricio says whatever you say. She owns him now. Emiliano shows up, mad about the snake in Mari’s room. Fedra says Mauricio did it. Now that Fedra owns him, he confesses that yes, it was him.
Ilitia tries to get Eman to relax. He can’t, he’s upset with the Mari situation. He wants her to feel at home here, but can’t get it done. Ilitia promises to be Mari’s friend, he says sure, just like Kristel? She promises again, she’ll do it for him. Ominous music plays as he believes her this time.
Emiliano rips Mauricio a new one. He whines that it was just a small thing, he didn’t mean, etc etc. Emiliano puts Mauricio on notice – he bothers Mari again, even the smallest thing, you won’t be allowed in this house or to be Kristel’s boyfriend. Mauricio thinks of what he just did and worries. Emil and Fedra tell him to go find Mari and apologize. Emil ends up thanking Fedra for her help, Fedra says she can’t stand what everyone is doing to poor Mari! Bleah.
Delicia rather rudely tells Mari she’s nuts for being in love with Eman. Mari says respect my feelings, Delicia says fine, ok. Mari says she loves Eman back when they were kids and that feeling stayed with her. Man everything seems like I’ve seen it before, this reminds me of Eduardo and Fernanda on MEPS. Speaking of, if anyone sees that a show with Silvia Navarro is coming on anywhere, let me know. I thought she was great on that show. Anyway – Mauricio is eavesdropping it turns out, he comes in the room to gloat over his new knowledge.
Ilitia reports back to Kristel that she got Eman to buy that they want to be friends with Mari. Ilitia says they should cool it a bit. Another eavesdropper, this time Gretel, who wants to know what’s going on.
Mari denies everything to Mauricio, who says he is going to tell Eman. Of course he wouldn’t, that would give away his power, but Mari is of course too stupid to realize this. As long as he doesn’t tell Eman he has that to hold over her, she should hope that he DOES tell, to get it over with. Delicia starts to yell at Mo, Mari the wimp tells her to stop. Mo tells Delicia to leave. Mari the wimp says yes, she should go. Great. She is going to lay down, completely, for this. She begs Mo not to tell Eman. He says fine, but let’s go, I have to apologize to you for the snake in front of Emiliano, and you are going to accept.
Gretel doesn’t buy the whole innocent act from the hotties either. They go on and on about how they are going to help her lose weight and Gretel seems to start to believe them. Sort of.
Mo apologizes to Mari in front of Emiliano, Mari accepts too quickly. Mo goes on to say we’ll be friends now, right? She says yes. She even goes on to say that she is the one who started everything. Emiliano says she appreciates her maturity, and no more jokes in this house! Emil takes her to the kitchen for some tea. Fedra says she has to talk to him, he says wait until I get back. Mo and Fedra are left alone. He thinks he has met his part of their deal, she says no way. She takes a cigar out of the box and says the next time she finds him here with no pants – she clips the end of the cigar with a cutter. Yikes. Then she says she’ll kill him. I think the clipping threat would be enough.
Later, she is in the office alone when Emiliano returns. She complains that Kristel spent a ‘fortune’ on clothes for Mari. Emil thinks that was nice. Fedra whines and cries that it’s not her fault Mari doesn’t have any clothes or money. More whining and crying. Emil says it’s his money too, and Kristel can spend as much as she wants on Mari, is that clear? Emil then says he wants to start the paperwork to get Marianela her inheritance. Fedra tries to hold him off, but he has made up his mind. He wants Mari to get what is hers so she doesn’t feel like they are supporting her. He says that if he has to kick the entire family out of the house to make Mari comfortable, he’ll do it, and Fedra better pack her bag because she’ll be the first one out the door, understand? Hell yeah, kick her out now! Why wait!
Fidel, Lorenzo’s driver, shows up looking for Ilitia. He tells her about her mother.
Fedra looks out the window and whines about Mari. She says poor Emiliano, 25 years and he still doesn’t know her. She pulls out a fancy dagger. She walks towards the bed. She vows that the house and inheritance will belong to her, not Mari. She makes to stab Emiliano.
Monday – Mari gets a HUGE check for her commercial, it is a hit. Can a commercial be a hit? Netty is going to get some money in 5 days. Or is Mari going to get it? Not sure. Fedra makes to stab Emiliano, again.
I (we) are forced to suffer through the fake rape Mauricio/Mari scene again. This actor is a great bad guy, I never see him on screen without feeling the urge to kick him in the nuts.
Fedra is upset that Netty plans on getting involved in the whole inheritance mess. She wants The Mask to ‘take care of them’ – Mari and Netty. In the words of recapper/reader Kat, “Fedra is fugly and she makes me sick.” Well said.

They try to sit creepy lady down, but then she says to Netty “the only one here who needs help is YOU.” Say goodbye to a decent rate on your rental, after that comment!
Emanuel, accompanied by his hot sister and his hot girlfriend, is knocking on Mari’s door. Of course there is no answer, inside Mauricio has his hand over Mari’s mouth. Mauricio tells Mari she better not say anything, or he’ll tell Eman that she came on to HIM. She says she’ll yell the truth, he says fine go ahead, see who they believe. I realized this is the second time now that I’ve seen this actor pretend to rape this actress, it happened in MEPS too, though she didn’t have the fat suit that time.
Creepy lady says a powerful lady is going to close all of Netty’s paths. She is channeling Juan Pastor. A woman with seven demons will not rest until she sees Netty dead. A fugly woman, no doubt. Netty says the same thing, “Fedra!”
Eman gets in with a key, nobody is in the room. The chicks say it’s strange, they left her there and went to get Eman, now she’s gone. Kristel wonders in her head if Mauricio has Mari in the bathroom, completing his plan. Eman finds the dress on the bed and is mad that they bought maternity, they have stores for people like Mari! The girls say yeah, but no way are they going to set foot in one of THOSE stores.
Netty wants to know about Mari from creepy lady, but after hearing the name Fedra, she had collapsed on the chair and lost her connection with Juan Pastor, apparently. Creepy lady wakes up and looks at Netty funny, and says she wants to rent a room. The lights come back on, freaking everyone out.
Mauricio has Mari in the bathroom, I guess, and is telling her to keep quiet. Kristel is leaning on the door on the other side, making Eman suspicious. He knocks, no answer.
Delicia, like every stupid novela character ever, says her thoughts out loud REALLY LOUD about what she CAN’T LET ANYONE FIND OUT, namely that Mari is IN LOVE! Of course Nereida is right there and hears it and wants to know who. They fight over the diary. This fight would be a lot better in bikinis and jello, just saying.
Now Eman is trying to unlock the other door, complaining about how all the doors have locks. Me too dude. The girls insist on looking for Mari, in other places. Not here, other places. They insist that they want to be friends with Mari, that’s why they bought her this stuff! Fedra comes in and says “WHO bought WHAT for la gorda?” Apparently that is against the law in that house.
Nereida’s hair comes loose in the fight, nice. Delicia ends up with the diary and runs off.
Lorenzo is talking to the other woman on his cell phone right there in Camila’s hospital room. He is blaming her for what happened, after her phone call. She says whatever, now you are free of her. Lorenzo says it’s the mother of his daughter! Lady says “hey, we have a son too.” He says it’s a lie, he has heard it before. She says she’ll prove it. Come over to her place and see. He says she’ll pay if she bothers him or his wife again.
Fedra wants an explanation from Kristel, it was paid for with Fedra’s money it turns out and she is beside herself. She prohibits any more expenditures on Mari’s behalf. Eman tries to go talk to her. Mauricio in the other room says ok they’re gone, let’s get down to business. Kristel tells Ilitia that Mauricio and Mari are in the bathroom. Mari slaps Mauricio in the face, pushes him away, and his towel falls. She freaks out and turns away covering her eyes. She tries to leave, he stops her. Great. I get the episode long rape attempt, lucky me. She slaps him again. Then starts hitting him with a painting an escapes. She runs over the other two girls on her way out, who were eavesdropping.
Mari runs past Eman and Fedra talking in the hall, when Eman tries to stop her, she trips and falls down the stairs. In slow motion. So we might think she died or something, here in only the 15th episode of the show. Maybe now she ends up in a coma and in the process loses all the weight. We’re all ready for the fat part to be over, right?
Netty stresses, somehow the lights went off again. Oh it’s the middle of the night and she was pacing. Brandon’s mom shows up and they stress and worry together.
Eman runs to Mari, yells at his mom to call an ambulance, do something useful for once. Mari comes around. Fedra says “lucky” and walks upstairs. Mari says she’s in bad shape, mostly from being here (in this house). You got that right. She gets up and says she has to leave to feel better. She leaves.
Mauricio comes out of the bathroom naked, Ilitia freaks out. Kristel teases him. Ilitia throws the pregnancy dress at him and tells him to cover up. Yes please. He says ah, it bothers you to see this, compared to what you normally see (a dig at Eman). She says of course not! There is a knock at the door. They all panic.
Mari sits outside and cries and whines. Delicia wanders by and sees her. She comes over and is disgusted with the makeup the girls put on her. Mari tells her what Mauricio did. Delicia takes Mari inside.
Eman is at the door, yelling at Ilitia, there’s someone else there, right? Mauricio ends up on the balcony again. He jumps off, landing right in front of Fedra. Oooops. “Lose your clothes again, Mauricio?” Hahaha. Good one. “let me guess, they came back and assaulted you again?”
In the kitchen, Mari tells the whole story to Delicia. Delicia says to tell everyone, Mari says what for, they won’t believe me. Of course not. She’ll stay quiet and this will go on forever. Wow her makeup really is bad. Delicia says Mari looked for a little trouble, though, being in love with Emanuel.
Eman yells at the girls. They get all defensive “omg how could you accuse us” etc etc. “some people don’t know how to accept love and caring.” Eman has heard enough. “She fell down the stairs, almost died” Really? She got up and walked away, but whatever. “She wants to leave this house, what did you do to her?” Then he holds his head like he is having an aneurysm, that’s the second time tonight I’ve seen that. I’m sure it means something. He falls onto the bed, the girls are alarmed.
Mauricio makes excuses, but Fedra doesn’t want to hear it. She tells him that if Emiliano finds out about this, he’ll kill him. Mauricio begs her to not say anything, Fedra says fine, but…. Mauricio says whatever you say. She owns him now. Emiliano shows up, mad about the snake in Mari’s room. Fedra says Mauricio did it. Now that Fedra owns him, he confesses that yes, it was him.
Ilitia tries to get Eman to relax. He can’t, he’s upset with the Mari situation. He wants her to feel at home here, but can’t get it done. Ilitia promises to be Mari’s friend, he says sure, just like Kristel? She promises again, she’ll do it for him. Ominous music plays as he believes her this time.
Emiliano rips Mauricio a new one. He whines that it was just a small thing, he didn’t mean, etc etc. Emiliano puts Mauricio on notice – he bothers Mari again, even the smallest thing, you won’t be allowed in this house or to be Kristel’s boyfriend. Mauricio thinks of what he just did and worries. Emil and Fedra tell him to go find Mari and apologize. Emil ends up thanking Fedra for her help, Fedra says she can’t stand what everyone is doing to poor Mari! Bleah.
Delicia rather rudely tells Mari she’s nuts for being in love with Eman. Mari says respect my feelings, Delicia says fine, ok. Mari says she loves Eman back when they were kids and that feeling stayed with her. Man everything seems like I’ve seen it before, this reminds me of Eduardo and Fernanda on MEPS. Speaking of, if anyone sees that a show with Silvia Navarro is coming on anywhere, let me know. I thought she was great on that show. Anyway – Mauricio is eavesdropping it turns out, he comes in the room to gloat over his new knowledge.
Ilitia reports back to Kristel that she got Eman to buy that they want to be friends with Mari. Ilitia says they should cool it a bit. Another eavesdropper, this time Gretel, who wants to know what’s going on.
Mari denies everything to Mauricio, who says he is going to tell Eman. Of course he wouldn’t, that would give away his power, but Mari is of course too stupid to realize this. As long as he doesn’t tell Eman he has that to hold over her, she should hope that he DOES tell, to get it over with. Delicia starts to yell at Mo, Mari the wimp tells her to stop. Mo tells Delicia to leave. Mari the wimp says yes, she should go. Great. She is going to lay down, completely, for this. She begs Mo not to tell Eman. He says fine, but let’s go, I have to apologize to you for the snake in front of Emiliano, and you are going to accept.
Gretel doesn’t buy the whole innocent act from the hotties either. They go on and on about how they are going to help her lose weight and Gretel seems to start to believe them. Sort of.
Mo apologizes to Mari in front of Emiliano, Mari accepts too quickly. Mo goes on to say we’ll be friends now, right? She says yes. She even goes on to say that she is the one who started everything. Emiliano says she appreciates her maturity, and no more jokes in this house! Emil takes her to the kitchen for some tea. Fedra says she has to talk to him, he says wait until I get back. Mo and Fedra are left alone. He thinks he has met his part of their deal, she says no way. She takes a cigar out of the box and says the next time she finds him here with no pants – she clips the end of the cigar with a cutter. Yikes. Then she says she’ll kill him. I think the clipping threat would be enough.
Later, she is in the office alone when Emiliano returns. She complains that Kristel spent a ‘fortune’ on clothes for Mari. Emil thinks that was nice. Fedra whines and cries that it’s not her fault Mari doesn’t have any clothes or money. More whining and crying. Emil says it’s his money too, and Kristel can spend as much as she wants on Mari, is that clear? Emil then says he wants to start the paperwork to get Marianela her inheritance. Fedra tries to hold him off, but he has made up his mind. He wants Mari to get what is hers so she doesn’t feel like they are supporting her. He says that if he has to kick the entire family out of the house to make Mari comfortable, he’ll do it, and Fedra better pack her bag because she’ll be the first one out the door, understand? Hell yeah, kick her out now! Why wait!
Fidel, Lorenzo’s driver, shows up looking for Ilitia. He tells her about her mother.
Fedra looks out the window and whines about Mari. She says poor Emiliano, 25 years and he still doesn’t know her. She pulls out a fancy dagger. She walks towards the bed. She vows that the house and inheritance will belong to her, not Mari. She makes to stab Emiliano.
Monday – Mari gets a HUGE check for her commercial, it is a hit. Can a commercial be a hit? Netty is going to get some money in 5 days. Or is Mari going to get it? Not sure. Fedra makes to stab Emiliano, again.

INSOMNIACS CLUB: 'LA VERDAD OCULTA' premiers TUE 8/31, midnight EST (Univision)
See Comments sections for individual episode links on You Tube
Univision had been holding this Eduardo Yáñez telenovela, which was produced before Destilando Amor; and now they've slated to broadcast it at midnight.
It was his return to Mexican telenovelas after working in the US, and he won best actor for this role. All I ever heard as to why they were holding it was that it was rumored to be too hot for prime time.
If anyone has pictures or anything they would like to post, please do; or email me at jeri@tormenta.com. Recaps were not expected for the late hour, but a discussion can be posted every day if there is a good response.

Synopsis
This is an exciting story of love, intrigue and secrets that focuses around two couples. The first couple is David Genovés and Gabriela Guillén. Gabriela is an intelligent, modest (and beautiful) girl that works as a waitress in the restaurant that David administers which belongs to his father, Mario Genovés.
The second couple is Juan Jose, who spent 11 years in prison for a crime that he didn't commit, and Alejandra, a young architect whose social class is well above that of Juan Jose, however, she falls in love with him at first sight and will fight to gain his heart.
When Gabriela and her sister Julieta start working at the restaurant, David feels immediately attracted to Gabriela, however, his partner Carlos is also impressed by her beauty. A great rivalry arises between them to conquer her heart.
Although Gabriela is in love with David, multiple conflicts arise and she doubts her true feelings, more so when Leonardo appears in her life. Leonardo is a commander of the police who becomes her protector, but who has to hide the love that feels for her.
Gabriela spends considerable time and anguish (this is a novela, after all) before she accepting that in fact she loves David, who is sincere. Nevertheless, her relation will be difficult and conflicting due to the intrigue of Carlos and the jealousy of David.
Gabriela doesn't know that her father, Faustus and Mario Genovés knew each other many years ago and share a terrible and painful secret. Now, the re-encounter of these two men coincides with a great tragedy: Mario finds out that he has an inoperable tumor and has just a short time left to live.
In order to protect the inheritance of his son, knowing that his partner Adolfo is an individual without scruples that would seize his fortune, Mario convinces Faustus to disguise himself and to take his place until the term of his business contract with Adolfo finishes.
For this purpose, he constructs a secret tunnel to allow access between his mansion and the house directly behind it. There, Faustus will have his workshop of make-up products to be able to supplant Mario. And Alejandra and Juan Jose?
They will share the secret of her uncle Mario and she will be in charge of the construction of the tunnel, and Juan Jose will see himself suddenly inheriting a fabulous fortune that will allow him not only to fight for the love of Alejandra, but to be united to Mario and Faustus in their audacious plan, since he also has a score to settle with the evildoer Adolfo.
Additionally, the Commander Leonardo Faidella will have an important role when investigating and discovering the illicit businesses of Adolfo. The confrontation that they will have with him will be a fundamental piece in the final outcome of this exciting and romantic history.

Dinero Friday August 27th - Love and other crimes
Gotta love those previews. I was so excited I was going to see Vicky in red lingerie, I almost went out and bought an HD TV. But as usual, it was all a shameless tease (like the last one, with Ale and Rafa kissing in the office). So what happened in the “real” world of Dinero?
Marino, Bebe and Ramirez (weird grouping, huh?) are talking in hushed tones under the dim blue light outside Rafa and Ale’s office (?). Mr. Edgar M. (should we call him Mr. Ed?) is stymied. How come he is the best salesman in the company, but that idiot Medina gets all the acclaim (todas las alabanzas)? Bebe explains that Ed may sell the most inside the showroom, but Rafa sells more outside, with his truck and fleet sales. Mr. Ed gets all red, starts blustering, and Ramirez shushes him (the captions say “shiiiit”, I’m not kidding!) All of a sudden Fast Eddie sees the light – he should start selling trucks. He praises Bebe as a genius, and goes off to put this newfound wisdom into practice. Bebe is flummoxed, asking Ramirez, why do we have to keep our voices so low? Because you’re so short, quips Rambowtie.
Jorge is really digging the scrumptious “Swedish” enchiladas prepared by Azucena. Marco wants Jorge to continue recounting what happened. Jorge starts counting, 1, 2, 3… Jorge’s in a playful mood, but the truth is, not only does he have no idea how much was in the Swiss bank account, he can’t remember where he put the account number (or password, maybe), and without that, they can’t access the account. He’s off to rest a bit, as Marco thought bubbles that he sure would like to know how much is in that account.
Jaime’s pitiful blue tent is zipped for the night, as Rafa arrives, drunk as a skunk, and knocks on the flap, asking if anyone’s home. He unzips said flap, only to be overwhelmed by Jaime’s day-old stench. Jaime also has a lit candle inside the tiny tent, apparently oblivious to the fire code (and how could he breathe in there?) Rafa is distraught. He saw Marco kissing Ale. Would it be a crime if he split the bum’s head into sections (si le parto su mandarina en gajos)? Jaime understands, he also misses Julieta terribly, and is going to camp out here until she forgives him. Drunk Rafa wonders if he should camp outside Ale’s, but Jaime doesn’t think this works with high rise buildings. The two commiserate, and Rafa finally forgives Jaime, even saying he’d kiss him, if it weren’t for Jaime’s overpowering b/o. No problem, Jaime kisses Rafa! Rafa blows out the candle, says happy birthday, and starts entering the tent to go to sleep. Jaime drags him to the door, where he fumbles with the keys before finally getting in, of course slamming the door in Jaime’s face. But Jaime is JUBILANT! Rafa has forgiven him.
Time for sex therapy! Marco is telling his problemita to the cute sexóloga,
how when he´s in bed with his wife, he sees this guy his wife knows in the bed with them, making fun of him! He even admits he’s slept with other women besides his wife, and the same thing happened. So what does he have? An emotional wound, which is impeding his sexual performance (desempeño sexual). He knows this, but how can he be cured.? Our experta says it’s a question of time, and it all depends on him. As she rises to get the door, we see our Romeo still has a wandering eye.
He laments that if he can’t somehow get Rafa away from Ale, curing himself won’t be easy.
It´s dinner time at Jiménez´s house. He arrives drunk, but happy because Doña Arcadia values him as an architect. But what’s this? His mother-in-law and father-in-law are at the table. More fumigation? Nah, they’re just visiting for the season (!) Anyway, Jiménez is sort of half happy, half sad. Happy about the architect thing, sad for his friend Rafa. What are you, his nanny (pilmama)? asks his wife. Mr. Jim proudly proclaims that the esteemed owner of Auto Siglo invited him to her birthday bash. He’s then informed that 1) he can’t go unless he invites his wife and in-laws, 2) he has to clean the table and do the dishes, and 3) he missed dinner. His feisty father-in-law then grabs the only remaining sleeping area. Ay Dios Mío!
The rooster sleeps, the rooster crows, another dawn, our excitement grows…
But not too much, for as yummy as the food looks on Leonor’s table, the mood is far less savory. Julieta complains about Jaime, everyone’s forgiving him, but she won’t, in fact she wants him to DIE, and remember, everyone, she’s the new Julieta, as she goes off to go to college and brush her teeth (that’s what she said :) Rafa tells his Ma he’s sad because La Licensiada got married, which Leonor didn’t even know, actually. That’s why Rafa got home late last light. He tried to drown his memories with drink, but he couldn’t.
Breakfast at Marco’s is a bit more refined, as the family asks Jorge what happened to Rubi and Manrique. Well, turns out they stayed in Switzerland. The bank wanted someone representing Jorge to stay, while Jorge returned home to look for where he wrote down the account number. Jorge asks Ale where is your mother? Ale is upset how far gone Jorge appears, tells her Daddy she’s in heaven, remember? No, no, he means the PAINTING of her. Oh, that’s in the bedroom. (I’m thinking the account number is behind the painting). Sadly, Jorge just wants to talk to his wife's picture, imploring her to help him remember where he wrote down the info, before he completely loses his memory.
Julieta’s off to school, but not before she pointedly stamps on Jaime’s tent.
Jaime lurches out, he’s really gotta pee! Inside he goes. Leonor thinks if Jaime doesn’t eat, he’ll get sick. No, corrects Rafa, He’s already sick. Heartsick. Just like me.
At the Jiménez home, the table is bare, but Ramiro is scouring the newspaper for a used computer, which he’ll need for his architect work. His henpecking hags hassle him, though, what do you want a computer for, to look at porn, you pig? No way, he sputters. It’s for….uh…the kids, for their homework! Well, says suegra, if THAT’S what it’s for, I’ll even lend you the money to buy a NEW one. For once, his wholly-rollered mom-in-law has Ramiro praising the Lord!
Jaime’s not so lucky, though. He’s rudely awakened from his House of Blues (the blue tent) by the bumbling cop duo, informing him he lacks a permit to camp on a public byway, and that a complaint has been filed against him for invasion of property, for stench (pestilencia) and for obstruction. He has to go to the station house. Wait a minute, replies Jaime. I’m a lawyer, I know my rights, this is just a peaceful demonstration. Fine, says the cop, but you need a permit for a demonstration. Where’s your permit? He starts to protest, but they drag him off, along with his tent (his chivas, or junk).
Jorge is distraught. He lost their country house, can’t remember why they’re in this apartment, and seems to be clutching his chest. Rosario sympathizes with him, saying he’s heartsick (as are many in tonight’s episode). Marco fears he really is having heart problems, should they go to the hospital?, but Jorge says it’s just an itch (un comezón). He’s been wondering why Ale and Marco aren’t on their honeymoon. They fumble with the answer, Ale finally saying she needs to work, they’re short on money, which only makes Jorge feel more guilty.
Jaime is unceremoniously dumped behind the bars, protesting all the way that he knows his rights, to which the cops reply, Ayayayayayay. After they leave, a mangy cellmate approaches, creepily kids Jaime, didn’t they give you your one telephone call? He then orders Jaime to STRIP!
Marco reassures Jorge, the delay with the honeymoon isn’t due to money, it’s for something else. ¿Qué? exclaim both Ale and Jorge. Well, umm, it’s, ummm, right, we wanted the church wedding first, that’s it. Really, says Jorge, I’m glad it wasn’t because of (he makes a hint with his nose). Ale doesn’t get it. Well, I hope it wasn’t because Marco “couldn’t”. Marco jumps up, outraged, of course that’s not it, I’m just a bit worried, about….about….the hacienda! We really should sell it. Ale’s flatly opposed, but Jorge thinks if they wait too long, the value could decline, and they won’t have enough to pay off the debt. Ale says let’s not rush things, we don’t even have an offer. But Marco thinks to himself, we just might have a buyer before you know it!
After the commercial, we see our prospective buyer, a white-haired gentleman talking to Chavez in the bar. Chavez tells him they need to use his name as a front for buying a property that’s very undervalued, and in bad shape. Whitey doesn’t buy this, and Chavez admits the property isn’t that bad, it’s a dairy farm, but some bum has really run it into the ground (wonder who). Again, Whitey knows Chavez is conning him, who’s really running the show, who really came up with this idea, you’re just a half-as*d con artist (una tranza de media pelo). You could never come up with something like this. If you want me to help, I need to talk to the real brains of your operation.
Rafa arrives at work in a pretty good mood, but immediately the phone rings, and it’s Jaime calling from jail, pleading for help. Rafa’s on his way. Enter Ale, it’s time for the sales meeting.
R: I can’t, I have a serious matter to take care of.
A: Did something happen? Is your Mamá okay?
R: Yes, yes, yes.
A: And your sister?
R: Her, too, they’re both okay.
A: Then it’s nothing serious, right?
R: No, the thing is, a friend of mine is in jail.
A: Hmmph. Why didn’t they just arrest YOU? I should have known. A “friend” of Señor Medina is detained for some crime.
R: Look, licensiada, what happened is my friend did commit a crime.
A: Sure.
R: ..of falling in love, and that’s a very painful crime, because for those of us who are in love, it’s very hard for us to forget the woman we love, although they don’t seem to care. Now please excuse me.
He walks out stiffly, leaving Ale visibly moved.
Over at Grupo Celeste, Marian’s working hard, but Daniel arrives, carrying a motorcycle helmet. He knows she likes cycles, let’s hit the road, right now. She thinks he’s nuts, she’s busy, but Chepis says she’ll hold down the fort, Marian should go enjoy herself. But she’s not dressed for that. No problem, they’ll go to her house first, and she can change. He won’t accept no for an answer. Bowing to the pressure from Daniel and Chepis, Marian agrees.
Dandy’s ready for his daily attempt to win back Susana. He notes that she rescued the book from the trash. He points out it really was hard to find this book, and there’s even a note inside from the author, written to Susana. She feigns disinterest, but after he leaves, she looks both ways, rips the wrapping paper off the book, and is enchanted by it. She sees a card on the back, and it reads “I drink accompanied only by your kisses, because I know that wine will take me with you before the goddesses. Although I’m just a man without shadow, and without reflection, you, divine Nonicita, with your wisdom, will carry me beyond the mountains to the end of winter.”
She smiles, kisses the card, hugs it to her chest, and slips it in her purse. Ahhhhhhh.
And off we go on a super moto aventura! Marian and Daniel don helmets, slip onto his powerful bike, and whoosh through the streets of Mexico City, seeing the buildings, the statues, the museums, sculptures both ancient and abstract, in an exciting montage, accompanied by a rockin’ beat. They end up in a picturesque restaurant, an elegant colonial building, where they enjoy their fine food and wine in the exterior gardens. Marian is intrigued – sometimes Daniel is insufferable, but when he wants to, he can be quite charming. He tells her that he’s always had strong feelings for her. When she was alone, he sort of took her for granted. But when he saw she was attracted to that salesman type, he didn’t want to lose her, and had to act. He’s serious in his feelings for her. But how can you be serious, she asks, when you go out with a different woman each day? He gazes straight into her eyes, and says he’s ready to leave behind a lifetime of adventures, just for her.
The Pantera pulls up to Casa Medina, and Jaime stumbles out, breathlessly voicing his eternal gratitude to Rafa, while vainly trying to extricate his behind from the seatbelt in which he’s tangled. Rafa urges Jaime to go home and take a bath, he smells like a lion on the loose (un león correteado). All of sudden, they recoil in horror as they hear a chilling shriek pierce the air. “Pajarito!”
Daniel and Marian are outside now, but where’s his moto? An attendant hands Daniel some keys. He tells Marian he would do anything for her. She might feel cold riding along the highway on a motorcycle, so he’s had this car brought over. He gestures towards a sleek silvery sports car.
A waiter brings champagne, and Daniel toasts their magnificent day. Salud! But what’s this? There’s a wooden case (estuche) on the waiter’s tray. What’s going on? she asks. What’s in the case? Why, the other keys to the car, he says gallantly. This car, my love, is for you. She notices a smaller box, which she opens to reveal a ring!
He steps close to her, looks deeply into her lovely eyes, and says, My love, Will you marry me?
(Wow! You could knock the girl over with a feather!)
And Monday looks like bikinis, bikinis, and…bikinis! It had better not be another dream!!!!!!

Marino, Bebe and Ramirez (weird grouping, huh?) are talking in hushed tones under the dim blue light outside Rafa and Ale’s office (?). Mr. Edgar M. (should we call him Mr. Ed?) is stymied.

He praises Bebe as a genius, and goes off to put this newfound wisdom into practice. Bebe is flummoxed, asking Ramirez, why do we have to keep our voices so low? Because you’re so short, quips Rambowtie.
Jorge is really digging the scrumptious “Swedish” enchiladas prepared by Azucena. Marco wants Jorge to continue recounting what happened. Jorge starts counting, 1, 2, 3… Jorge’s in a playful mood, but the truth is, not only does he have no idea how much was in the Swiss bank account, he can’t remember where he put the account number (or password, maybe), and without that, they can’t access the account. He’s off to rest a bit, as Marco thought bubbles that he sure would like to know how much is in that account.
Jaime’s pitiful blue tent is zipped for the night, as Rafa arrives, drunk as a skunk, and knocks on the flap, asking if anyone’s home. He unzips said flap, only to be overwhelmed by Jaime’s day-old stench. Jaime also has a lit candle inside the tiny tent, apparently oblivious to the fire code (and how could he breathe in there?) Rafa is distraught. He saw Marco kissing Ale. Would it be a crime if he split the bum’s head into sections (si le parto su mandarina en gajos)? Jaime understands, he also misses Julieta terribly, and is going to camp out here until she forgives him. Drunk Rafa wonders if he should camp outside Ale’s, but Jaime doesn’t think this works with high rise buildings. The two commiserate, and Rafa finally forgives Jaime, even saying he’d kiss him, if it weren’t for Jaime’s overpowering b/o. No problem, Jaime kisses Rafa! Rafa blows out the candle, says happy birthday, and starts entering the tent to go to sleep. Jaime drags him to the door, where he fumbles with the keys before finally getting in, of course slamming the door in Jaime’s face. But Jaime is JUBILANT! Rafa has forgiven him.
Time for sex therapy! Marco is telling his problemita to the cute sexóloga,
how when he´s in bed with his wife, he sees this guy his wife knows in the bed with them, making fun of him! He even admits he’s slept with other women besides his wife, and the same thing happened. So what does he have? An emotional wound, which is impeding his sexual performance (desempeño sexual). He knows this, but how can he be cured.? Our experta says it’s a question of time, and it all depends on him. As she rises to get the door, we see our Romeo still has a wandering eye.
He laments that if he can’t somehow get Rafa away from Ale, curing himself won’t be easy.It´s dinner time at Jiménez´s house. He arrives drunk, but happy because Doña Arcadia values him as an architect. But what’s this? His mother-in-law and father-in-law are at the table. More fumigation? Nah, they’re just visiting for the season (!) Anyway, Jiménez is sort of half happy, half sad. Happy about the architect thing, sad for his friend Rafa. What are you, his nanny (pilmama)? asks his wife. Mr. Jim proudly proclaims that the esteemed owner of Auto Siglo invited him to her birthday bash. He’s then informed that 1) he can’t go unless he invites his wife and in-laws, 2) he has to clean the table and do the dishes, and 3) he missed dinner. His feisty father-in-law then grabs the only remaining sleeping area. Ay Dios Mío!
The rooster sleeps, the rooster crows, another dawn, our excitement grows…
But not too much, for as yummy as the food looks on Leonor’s table, the mood is far less savory. Julieta complains about Jaime, everyone’s forgiving him, but she won’t, in fact she wants him to DIE, and remember, everyone, she’s the new Julieta, as she goes off to go to college and brush her teeth (that’s what she said :) Rafa tells his Ma he’s sad because La Licensiada got married, which Leonor didn’t even know, actually. That’s why Rafa got home late last light. He tried to drown his memories with drink, but he couldn’t.
Breakfast at Marco’s is a bit more refined, as the family asks Jorge what happened to Rubi and Manrique. Well, turns out they stayed in Switzerland. The bank wanted someone representing Jorge to stay, while Jorge returned home to look for where he wrote down the account number. Jorge asks Ale where is your mother? Ale is upset how far gone Jorge appears, tells her Daddy she’s in heaven, remember? No, no, he means the PAINTING of her. Oh, that’s in the bedroom. (I’m thinking the account number is behind the painting). Sadly, Jorge just wants to talk to his wife's picture, imploring her to help him remember where he wrote down the info, before he completely loses his memory.
Julieta’s off to school, but not before she pointedly stamps on Jaime’s tent.
Jaime lurches out, he’s really gotta pee! Inside he goes. Leonor thinks if Jaime doesn’t eat, he’ll get sick. No, corrects Rafa, He’s already sick. Heartsick. Just like me.
At the Jiménez home, the table is bare, but Ramiro is scouring the newspaper for a used computer, which he’ll need for his architect work. His henpecking hags hassle him, though, what do you want a computer for, to look at porn, you pig? No way, he sputters. It’s for….uh…the kids, for their homework! Well, says suegra, if THAT’S what it’s for, I’ll even lend you the money to buy a NEW one. For once, his wholly-rollered mom-in-law has Ramiro praising the Lord!
Jaime’s not so lucky, though. He’s rudely awakened from his House of Blues (the blue tent) by the bumbling cop duo, informing him he lacks a permit to camp on a public byway, and that a complaint has been filed against him for invasion of property, for stench (pestilencia) and for obstruction. He has to go to the station house. Wait a minute, replies Jaime. I’m a lawyer, I know my rights, this is just a peaceful demonstration. Fine, says the cop, but you need a permit for a demonstration. Where’s your permit? He starts to protest, but they drag him off, along with his tent (his chivas, or junk).
Jorge is distraught. He lost their country house, can’t remember why they’re in this apartment, and seems to be clutching his chest. Rosario sympathizes with him, saying he’s heartsick (as are many in tonight’s episode). Marco fears he really is having heart problems, should they go to the hospital?, but Jorge says it’s just an itch (un comezón). He’s been wondering why Ale and Marco aren’t on their honeymoon. They fumble with the answer, Ale finally saying she needs to work, they’re short on money, which only makes Jorge feel more guilty.
Jaime is unceremoniously dumped behind the bars, protesting all the way that he knows his rights, to which the cops reply, Ayayayayayay. After they leave, a mangy cellmate approaches, creepily kids Jaime, didn’t they give you your one telephone call? He then orders Jaime to STRIP!
Marco reassures Jorge, the delay with the honeymoon isn’t due to money, it’s for something else. ¿Qué? exclaim both Ale and Jorge. Well, umm, it’s, ummm, right, we wanted the church wedding first, that’s it. Really, says Jorge, I’m glad it wasn’t because of (he makes a hint with his nose). Ale doesn’t get it. Well, I hope it wasn’t because Marco “couldn’t”. Marco jumps up, outraged, of course that’s not it, I’m just a bit worried, about….about….the hacienda! We really should sell it. Ale’s flatly opposed, but Jorge thinks if they wait too long, the value could decline, and they won’t have enough to pay off the debt. Ale says let’s not rush things, we don’t even have an offer. But Marco thinks to himself, we just might have a buyer before you know it!
After the commercial, we see our prospective buyer, a white-haired gentleman talking to Chavez in the bar. Chavez tells him they need to use his name as a front for buying a property that’s very undervalued, and in bad shape. Whitey doesn’t buy this, and Chavez admits the property isn’t that bad, it’s a dairy farm, but some bum has really run it into the ground (wonder who). Again, Whitey knows Chavez is conning him, who’s really running the show, who really came up with this idea, you’re just a half-as*d con artist (una tranza de media pelo). You could never come up with something like this. If you want me to help, I need to talk to the real brains of your operation.
Rafa arrives at work in a pretty good mood, but immediately the phone rings, and it’s Jaime calling from jail, pleading for help. Rafa’s on his way. Enter Ale, it’s time for the sales meeting.
R: I can’t, I have a serious matter to take care of.
A: Did something happen? Is your Mamá okay?
R: Yes, yes, yes.
A: And your sister?
R: Her, too, they’re both okay.
A: Then it’s nothing serious, right?
R: No, the thing is, a friend of mine is in jail.
A: Hmmph. Why didn’t they just arrest YOU? I should have known. A “friend” of Señor Medina is detained for some crime.
R: Look, licensiada, what happened is my friend did commit a crime.
A: Sure.
R: ..of falling in love, and that’s a very painful crime, because for those of us who are in love, it’s very hard for us to forget the woman we love, although they don’t seem to care. Now please excuse me.
He walks out stiffly, leaving Ale visibly moved.
Over at Grupo Celeste, Marian’s working hard, but Daniel arrives, carrying a motorcycle helmet. He knows she likes cycles, let’s hit the road, right now. She thinks he’s nuts, she’s busy, but Chepis says she’ll hold down the fort, Marian should go enjoy herself. But she’s not dressed for that. No problem, they’ll go to her house first, and she can change. He won’t accept no for an answer. Bowing to the pressure from Daniel and Chepis, Marian agrees.
Dandy’s ready for his daily attempt to win back Susana. He notes that she rescued the book from the trash. He points out it really was hard to find this book, and there’s even a note inside from the author, written to Susana. She feigns disinterest, but after he leaves, she looks both ways, rips the wrapping paper off the book, and is enchanted by it. She sees a card on the back, and it reads “I drink accompanied only by your kisses, because I know that wine will take me with you before the goddesses. Although I’m just a man without shadow, and without reflection, you, divine Nonicita, with your wisdom, will carry me beyond the mountains to the end of winter.”
She smiles, kisses the card, hugs it to her chest, and slips it in her purse. Ahhhhhhh.
And off we go on a super moto aventura! Marian and Daniel don helmets, slip onto his powerful bike, and whoosh through the streets of Mexico City, seeing the buildings, the statues, the museums, sculptures both ancient and abstract, in an exciting montage, accompanied by a rockin’ beat. They end up in a picturesque restaurant, an elegant colonial building, where they enjoy their fine food and wine in the exterior gardens. Marian is intrigued – sometimes Daniel is insufferable, but when he wants to, he can be quite charming. He tells her that he’s always had strong feelings for her. When she was alone, he sort of took her for granted. But when he saw she was attracted to that salesman type, he didn’t want to lose her, and had to act. He’s serious in his feelings for her. But how can you be serious, she asks, when you go out with a different woman each day? He gazes straight into her eyes, and says he’s ready to leave behind a lifetime of adventures, just for her.
The Pantera pulls up to Casa Medina, and Jaime stumbles out, breathlessly voicing his eternal gratitude to Rafa, while vainly trying to extricate his behind from the seatbelt in which he’s tangled. Rafa urges Jaime to go home and take a bath, he smells like a lion on the loose (un león correteado). All of sudden, they recoil in horror as they hear a chilling shriek pierce the air. “Pajarito!”
Daniel and Marian are outside now, but where’s his moto? An attendant hands Daniel some keys. He tells Marian he would do anything for her. She might feel cold riding along the highway on a motorcycle, so he’s had this car brought over. He gestures towards a sleek silvery sports car.
A waiter brings champagne, and Daniel toasts their magnificent day. Salud! But what’s this? There’s a wooden case (estuche) on the waiter’s tray. What’s going on? she asks. What’s in the case? Why, the other keys to the car, he says gallantly. This car, my love, is for you. She notices a smaller box, which she opens to reveal a ring!
He steps close to her, looks deeply into her lovely eyes, and says, My love, Will you marry me?
(Wow! You could knock the girl over with a feather!)
And Monday looks like bikinis, bikinis, and…bikinis! It had better not be another dream!!!!!!

El Clon, Fri., August 27 - Summary for Discussion
Various parent children interactions - some good, some not.
Osvaldo is back but he's a jerk again.
At the pool, Diana isn't having any better luck in trying to convince Pablo that Malicia isn't a wonderful person.
I don't think Fernando managed to quit drugs for 24 hours. He and the unlovely Paula are at the pool, too. She is telling him how Alej threw her out of his apartment. Fernando loses his sight momentarily. He is frightened. Paula laughs it off and says that it is 'un apagón,' a power cut because he smoked too many 'porros,' joints. She says that it will pass and it does.
Carolina apologetically tells Clara that Fernando is through as an intern (practicante). She's given him many chances already. If she gives him more, she will lose her authority over the other interns. Clara understands.
Tío Abdul scolds Amin for ogling Karla. 
Gloria comes to the shop to buy a veil. Abdul is curt and sends Amin to help her but he is lusting after her in his heart.
Gloria comes to the shop to buy a veil. Abdul is curt and sends Amin to help her but he is lusting after her in his heart.Malicia hands the Chump a folder with the transfer documents and gets him to apologize to her for mistrusting her. She first tells him to check the document and when he starts to open the folder, she tells him to leave her alone. When he protests, she says that if he loves her, he will respect her need to be alone. Outmaneuvered again, the Chump has no choice but to leave.
Roberto tells Clara the good news the Chump has told him that Malicia has signed the transfer documents.
Miguel goes to see Osvaldo in prison to tell him that he has gotten the money for a lawyer to get him out of jail. 
Osvaldo is grateful and says that he knew his only friend wouldn't abandon him. Miguel tells Osvi that he can't understand why he looked at other women when he had Dora. Surprised, Osvaldo says that, 'Aunque Dora sea la principal, ¡un hombre siempre necesita dos sucursales! para no perderle la sabor a la vida,' Even though Dora is his main squeeze, a man needs a couple of girls on the side (literally, branches) so as not to lose his zest for life. He claims that it is the nature of men to do this. He says that when he gets out, he will go after the Naz and then take vengeance on Karla and then reconquer Dora. Miguel is disgusted and says that he won't visit him again. Osvaldo finally twigs that Miguel is interested in Dora. He is furious and swears that he will kill them both. Miguel tells him not to worry. He has already paid the lawyer.

Zoraida tells Jade that Mohamed doesn't want her back at his house. He is going to tell Ali not to bring her when he visits the States. Zoraida thinks that if Jade stays with Zein, Said might be persuaded to let her see Jadiya. Jade has another plan. She will wait for Jadiya outside her school. Zoraida urges her not to do it but we all know how effective that is.
Said is still fondling and smelling a veil of Jade's and remembering her begging him to take her back. 
Rania comes in and Said tries to hide the veil but Rania takes it and claims that Jade gave it to her.
Rania comes in and Said tries to hide the veil but Rania takes it and claims that Jade gave it to her.Amina approves of what Rania did. Rania says that she will wear the veil all the time. Said may think of Jade when he sees it but little by little those thoughts will be mixed with thoughts of her.
Marisa tells Lucas that Nati stole her cell phone and money from her purse. Lucas replies that the situation is serious. Marisa agrees and tells him that she doesn't know what to do. She says that Nati wasn't like that. She has been transformed into a different person - a liar and a thief. Lucas say that he will talk to Nati.
Julio tells Anita that he is very confused about the Albieri situation. He says that what Albieri did was wrong but he doesn't deserve to go to jail. Anita speaks for us all when she says that what bothers her most about the situation is, '¡Que se lo haya hecho a Dora! ¿Por qué no alquiló un vientre para su experimento? Por qué hacerlo con una mujer que lo único que ha hecho toda su vida, es añorar un hijo, y que renunció a todo por el?' What he has done to Dora. Why didn't he rent a womb for his experiments? Why did he do this to a woman whose life was dominated by the desire for a child and who gave up everything for that? Julio tells Anita that he agrees with her but reporting Albieri to the authorities would mean the end of Albieri's career and of his clinic. Everyone would be investigated as possible collaborators. Everyone would lose, including him.
Roberto comes to get the transfer document from the Chump and he demonstrates that he really is one. Malicia has not signed the transfer. Roberto can't believe that the Chump never even looked in the folder to see if Malicia had signed it.
Roberto speaks for us all when he says, '¡Compraste un apartamento con los ahorros de Clarita! ¡Hemos movido mar y tierra para poder legalizar ese traspaso! Te da un poder... y tú ni lo revisas. ¿Qué te está pasando, Raul?' You bought an apartment with Clarita's savings. We have been moving heaven and earth to be able to legalize the transfer. She gives you a transfer document and you don't even look at it. What is with you, Raul?

Vicki is cold and Pablo wonders what is up with her. Malicia tells him that she is sure that Cristina is filling her head with lies about her.
Lucas tells Rosa that he is going out to get Nati to give back the money she took from Marisa. Rosa asks Lucas to go easy on Nati. [These people just don't get it.]
Lucia calls Marisa and can tell from her voice that she has been crying. Marisa lies and says that she has a little cold but everything is ok. Lucia wants to know what is going on between Leo and his son [I assume she means Daniel here.] Marisa says that she will call Lucia later and doesn't want to go to a private fashion show (desfile privada). Lucia can't beleive her ears. She says that isn't Marisa.
Nati is high and at the mall looking for Paula. She runs into Andrea. Andrea wants to take her to the rehab clinic but Nati says that she isn't sick.
Its the same party as always with the same music, this time for Rania's birthday. Latifa, dressed in saffron like the Hari Krishnas that used to hang out airports, catches Zamira talking on the phone to Carlos. After obtaining Latifa's promise not to get angry and to help her, Zamira confesses that Carlos is her boyfriend. Latifa is impactada. She tells Zamira that she can't fall in love because she is engaged to a boy in Morocco. Zamira replies that she refuses to marry the man that her father chose. Latifa repeats that Zamira can't fall in love, 'Nosotros, los musulmanes no nos podemos andar enamorado así como así antes del casamiento,' Muslims like us don't fall in love that way before marriage. Zamira replies that Carlos is in love with her. 'Lo que es haraam allá, aquí no lo es,' What is forbidden there, isn't forbidden here.
Latifa is destrozada.
Luisa wants Albieri to talk to Daniel before he finds out that he is a clone from someone else. She can't imagine how she would react if she was told that she was a clone. Albieri can't understand her concern. Daniel is a healthy human being, no different than anyone else. Luisa wonders if that will be the case after he finds out where he came from. Albieri replies that he will be fine as long as everyone stops looking at him like an extraterrestrial. Father Andres comes over and announces that Ali is coming as well and they have to talk.
Lucas comes to Nati's house and tells her that she has to give the money back that she took from Marisa's purse. Nati flies into a rage and accuses Marisa of inventing the theft. When Lucas says that he just wants her to get better so she can go back to school, Nati claims that she is back in school but has no money to buy books or a meal. She screams that she can't stand the pressure of being accused of theft and drug addiction and tells Lucas to leave her in peace. Alej asks Lucas to leave so he can calm Nati down. Nati tells Alej that she is suffering. Alej replies that he knows she needs love and affection but she has to help him a little.
PSA - Enrique stole stuff from his family.
Jade finds Jadiya in her school. She tells her that she never abandoned her. Jadiya asks if it is true that she is in love with a Westerner. Jade tells Jadiya that she left the Westerner when Jadiya was born and she would do it a thousand times more to be with her. She tells Jadiya that she tried to get Said to take her back but he refused and now Tío Ali wants to take her to Fez and she may never see her again. Jadiya hesitates and then embraces her mother.
The credits roll.
