Teresa Tue 9/27/11 #147 Sharkita Weaves a Tangled Web
Some scenes have been combined
Teresa tells Artie she witnessed Geno and Ruben dumping the body. She tells Art there’s a connection between them and Fito. Mariano figured out that Fito was selling drugs to Paulo and even provided the description to the cops. That’s why that desgraciado Fito disappeared and couldn’t continue selling drugs and started to……um….Art wonders what Fito started doing. Teresa recovers and says that’s why Fito started to run, of course. Art has no idea how happy she is that Fito’s dead (he may not know, but Viewerville does!) She condemns Fito for poisoning everything with his drugs. Their problem at present is that Mariano has no alibi (coartada). Art wonders what Fernando would say if he knew she is defending Mariano. Cue Jaws theme and a look at Ferneanderthal waiting at Casa Teresa while he calls Teresa. She doesn’t answer. Arturo recalls what a good team they once made but she’s ruined even that. Doesn’t she feel bad about everything she’s provoked? She wonders why he never believed she fell in love with him and why he took her back to that vecindad. He tells her he had good reason to doubt her. WHY did she do this to him. Is money really more important than what they had? She reminds him they’re there to help with Mariano and need to get back to work. He tells her to leave if it bothers her that much, he doesn’t need her.
CASA TERESA: Ferneanderthal leaves a voicemail for Teresa asking her to call him back. He wants to know what happened with Arturo. Did he agree to the “Divorcio Express”? Plus, they had dinner plans and he’s waiting for her. Fer is looking a bit disheveled.
BACK AT THE POLICE STATION, Teresa tells Arturo she can testify in Mariano’s defense (en su descargo) and that’s what she plans to do. She realizes that by doing so, she’ll implicate Geno and Ruben in Fito’s murder but she did see them. He wants to make sure she understands this may result in their arrest. She swears she’s telling the truth. She’s not just saying so in order to save Mariano. He knows that someone in love is capable of anything. He knows that only too well. She repeats that she’s telling the truth. It was Geno and Ruben! Geno must hate the man who sold drugs to her son – enough to murder him! She is capable of doing so to avenge the death of Paulo. As for Ruben, he may not have helped in the murder but he did help with the disposal of the body. He sure as heck helped because they’re ----wait for it ---- amantes! Arturo’s all, “¿Que?” She realizes he doesn’t believe everything she says but it’s the truth. Esperanza told her. They have to get the police to investigate. She plans to make her statement today. Arturo wants to wait and tell Aida first (huh?). Teresa thinks Aida will only run and warn Genoveva and Ruben. Well, duh.
CASA LEDESMA: Esperanza is praying that the police find her baby. She prays Ruben isn’t involved in his return. She doesn’t want to go with him; she loves her husband.
POLICE STATION: Aida gives Aurora the good news that she’s managed to get her in to see Mariano, but only for 25 minutes. She may not be a great lawyer but she knows how to get things done. She asks Aurora to tell him to be patient and to let him know they’re doing everything possible to get him out of here. Aurora’s worried that Aida seems doubtful. Aida explains that in situations like this it’s not so much what happens, it’s what you can prove.
CASA LEDESMA: Pati arrives and tells Esperanza that Fito is dead, frito, patas pa’rriba! Before she can tell her Mariano’s being held as a suspect, Espe gets a call from Rubinfeliz saying he’s received pictures of the baby, who happens to be lying there ever so quiet. I was hoping he’d let out a good cry, but it didn’t happen. Ruben says he looks great and hopes to have him soon so he can start living with her. Ugh. He’s coming over with the photos and he’ll be careful not to cross paths with her hubby. Esperanza gives Pati a letter for Hernan in the event anything should happen. Pati wants to know why this is necessary. Is Espe planning to abandon her husband? (pretty sharp cookie, that Pati) Espe weeps and says she loves her husband with all her heart. She wants to be with him the rest of her life. There are things in that letter that she’d like to say to Hernan that she can’t bring herself to say to him in person. She asks Pati to keep the letter and not ask any questions. Hernan arrives..
POLICE STATION: Teresa tells Arturo he must think like a lawyer. In order for justice to be done, he can’t be warning anyone or show considerations for Aida or anyone. She reminds him of what a sinverguenza Ruben has turned out to be. He shouldn’t be surprised Ruben is Geno’s accomplice. And he knows how Aida is, she’ll go straight to Daddy either to admonish him or warn him. Either way, it will interfere with justice.
WITH BARS BETWEEN THEM, Mariano swears his innocence to Aurora. She tells him Arturo, Aida and Teresa are working to prove his innocence. He’s surprised to hear Teresa is there. He doesn’t want Aurora to think he called Teresa. She says she doesn’t doubt him. Teresa? Well, that’s another matter. Arturo walks in and Mariano chooses this awkward moment to tell them both that when Teresa was on the brink of death, she confessed she fell in love with Arturo while in Europe. **ok, this wouldn’t be on my mind if I was being charged with murder, but a little tweak on the ol’ beanie and I’m good to go**
CASA DE GENOVENOM: Rubinfeliz tells Geno he’s been talking to Aida about her. No, no, not about their affair but he’s slowly preparing her. It will help that Geno’s made him her partner in the real estate agency (inmobiliaria) and helping him so much. Geno loves her and would hate to lose her if she were to find out about them. On the contrary, he says, Aiiiida is so grateful and he’s so happy to see that she will be able to share everything with him. Ruben seems so happy, he’s beaming! He wants to take the baby for an outing. Geno wants to come along because she doesn’t want to leave Roddy alone. Ruben reminds her he won’t be alone, he’s with his father. She responds that she’s his mother by love and by everything that is legal. She registered Paulito and got his birth certificate. As of today, he’s hers. She’s registered him as though she were a single mother and he carries her surnames. He’s not too happy and doesn’t understand why she’s done this. She explains they couldn’t register him with Ruben’s name and they don’t have adoption papers. They’ve agreed to share everything. She’ll share her fortune with him and he’ll share his baby with her. Sigh, she thinks they are the perfect couple. She kisses him and he does the ol’ Sharkita eye-roll!
CASA LEDESMA: Hernan is glad to hear that Johnny or Pati will no longer have to fear Fito but he’s worried about Mariano. He heads back to work and Pati excuses herself to use the facilities before she leaves. No sooner does Pati leave the room than the big bad wolf comes knocking on Esperanza’s door. Unlike the 3 little piggies, she doesn’t ask who’s there and Rubinfeliz waltzes right in! He shows her a picture of Rodriguito. ROTFL, the little tyke looks like he’s growing a ‘stache just like the old man! HAHAHA! Anyway, poor Espe is crying, asking for another picture. He agrees but before that, he kisses her. EEEEEWWW!! Pati comes back in the room just in time to see this but she sneaks back out. Espe begs him to leave, explaining her sister-in-law is there and might see everything. She asks him to at least leave her the photo. They begin to struggle with the photo and end up tearing it in two. Pati runs back and yells out to Espe acting as though she can’t find her wallet. Ruben makes a hasty escape. When Pati comes back in she tells Espe not to bother trying to lie, she saw everything.
Espe shows her the picture of Rodriguito and they both cry over it. She explains that while the police haven’t been able to find him, Ruben has managed to get info although she doesn’t know how he’s done it. They even gave him Rodriguito’s medalla. They haven’t told the police because the kidnappers only want to deal with Ruben. They’ve asked him for a lot of money. Pati thinks this all sounds strange. (gee, you think?) Espe explains Ruben’s plan to bring the baby to her if she agrees to take off with him. Pati tells her she can’t abandon Hernan. Espe explains having to choose between them is the worst thing that has ever happened to her but she’s willing to do anything if it will bring her baby back to her. Pati tells her she should at least tell Hernan. If Espe doesn’t, she will! Yay, Pati!
VECINDAD: Ferneanderthal manages to walk upright and runs into Doofberto looking for Teresa. Doofberto gives him the 411 on Teresa being at the jail, defending Marianito. Ferneanderthal is furious, flaring nostrils and all!
POLICE STATION: Hector has arrived to offer his help. Aurora was afraid he’d be angry with Mariano. Hector knows that if anyone respects life, it’s Mariano.
Teresa gives her statement and we see a flashback of the “uno, dos, y TRES” scene where Geno and Ruben throw the body into the canal. I never tire of seeing that. The detective asks Teresa what she was doing there. She explains they were once associates of her husband and her. She suspected them of something underhanded (turbio) and she had to find out. Well, she had been told they were lovers and she wanted to confirm that because one cannot be associated with dishonest people, right? She repeats the bundle was a bag such as the one in the police photo. She’s sure it was them that threw Fito’s body into the canal. She has no reason to lie. Detective wants to know what her relationship is with Mariano. She explains they were once neighbors and she knows him to be a good and honest man incapable of doing such a thing. Detective asks if she’s sure that’s the extent of their relationship. She tells him her relationship with Mariano is not relevant. What is important is her testimony of what happened. Besides, this is a statement, not an interrogation. So there!
Elsewhere in the precinct a very Furious Fernando has arrived looking for blood! He asks Aida, of all people, if Teresa is there. Aiiiida tells him of course she’s there to defend Mariano. Not only that but guess who is teaming with her? Arturo! Nyah, nyaha! Who would’ve thunk it! Teresa and Arturo are working very closely together to liberate Mariano.
Teresa signs her statement. She and Arturo insist that they now free the good Doctor Sanchez and detain Genoveva and Ruben. No can do, says Dick Tracy. They have up to 72 hours.
As he’s saying this, in comes Fernando who angrily accuses Arturo of defending Mariano only to be near Teresa who he grabs by the arm and demands to know why she’s with this infeliz, meaning Arturo.
CASA LEDESMA: Espe desperately begs Pati not to tell Hernan. If she does, Ruben won’t give her the baby. She must have her baby back. After that, she’ll figure out a away to escape or something but for now, she can’t leave Ruben alone with him. Ruben is capable of disappearing and not handing him over to her, or, well she doesn’t know what all. She begs Pati to promise not to say anything to Hernan.
VECINDAD: Juana is beside herself to find out that Dumberto told Fernando where Teresa is. Dumberto says he just answered Fernando’s question about Teresa’s whereabouts. But he thinks he made a mistake, cuz it looked like Fernando was angry. Juana is still convinced that Teresa isn’t involved with Fernando.
BACK AT THE POLICE STATION, Fernando continues to manhandle Teresa while all the cops just stand around looking all official-like. He demands to know why she’s involved in defending Mariano. She breaks away from him and Arturo intervenes. Fernando shoves him back and reminds him she wants nothing more than to divorce him. Arturo says she’s only doing so to get at Fer’s money. As he’s told him before, Fernando will spend his time being jealous, wondering if she’s with Arturo or Mariano. Captain finally speaks up, telling them both to calm down or off to the pokey with both of them! Now Hector joins in, admonishing both Arturo and Fernando, telling them both to handle things in a civilized manner. The Captain warns Arturo to behave or he will be denied access to the precinct. Hector appreciates Teresa wanting to help Aurora but he thinks it’s best she leave now. She explains she was there to give her statement. She’s already done that, so she’s leaving. She tells Aurora she can count on her if she needs her help. Aiiiida cattily says Adios to Teresa who reminds her that she who laughs last, laughs best!
VECINDAD: Doofberto is busy watering plants and Pati seeks his advice. Oh boy, is she in trouble! He assumes Johnny’s done something but she explains it has to do with Esperanza but before she can say anything, the other genius, Johnny, comes running in to tell her Grumpy Gramps has been taken to the hospital, vomiting blood. EEEEEW! The Princess, the Frog, and the Jester all rush off for the hospital.
POLICE PRECINCT: Hector tells Arturo he’s very sorry for what’s happening between him and Teresa because of his ex-buddy. Aiiiiida chimes in that this is what Teresa provokes. Arturo changes the subject back to Mariano. He’s admitted knowing Fito, fighting with him and threatening to kill him. Arturo tells them Mariano will remain detained but he’s managed to keep him from being transferred to prison. He explains Teresa has issued a statement shedding new info on the situation but until that info is verified, nothing will change. Aiiida is anxious to know what was in that statement but Arturo wisely refuses to divulge that for now. Hector didn’t know who Fito was and Aiiida fills him in, telling him Fito was a drug dealer and lived in the same vecindad as Teresa. She’s agitated because for so long she wanted justice for Paulo and now that Fito is dead, she can’t relax because Mariano’s been unjustly accused of his murder.
Outside, Fernando drags Teresa through the door (on his way to his Neanderthal cave, I guess). He demands to know, again, why she insists on defending Mariano. Her relationship with him ended long ago so what could it matter to her if he’s free or if he rots in prison? Basta!, she tells him. Even though she stopped loving Mariano long ago, she has to be there for him because he saved her life and he’s saved her mother’s life on numerous occasions. Besides he’s her BFF’s novio. She also has information that could prove his innocence. Through clenched teeth, he reminds her he left Luisa, is confronting (enfrentar) his mother and stands to lose many things…..she trumps him, reminding him that she lost her father because she’s divorcing Arturo. She accuses him of caring only about what he’s lost. He backs off and apologizes, saying he didn’t mean it that way. She tells him if he’s going to continue to complain about everything he’s lost, he can just forget it! She thought he wanted to be with her and not care about anything else just as she’s done but apparently that’s not how it is. It’s best they just end it now. She hails a cab and all he can do is bang on the window and scream out her name as the cab drives off. Ooooooh, he’s angry! He is getting scary. I think Sharkita is biting off more than she can chew!
Inside, Aiiida is taking her leave. When they’re alone, Arturo explains to Hector and Aurora what Teresa saw. He didn’t want to say anything in front of Aiiiida so that she wouldn’t warn Ruben. Arturo hasn’t noticed that Aiiiida hasn’t really left and has heard everything. Arturo explains Geno’s and Ruben’s motives for killing Fito. Aiiiiida can’t take it anymore and bursts in saying these are all lies fabricated by Teresa to hurt her. She just wants to destroy Ruben because of his prior convictions. Arturo also tells her Espe’s story of finding Geno and Ruben in a compromising position. Lies, all lies, says Aiiiiiida. Everything that rrrrrrrata says are lies and Arturo, more than anyone, should know this.
VECINDAD: Juana arrives at her apartment to find Teresa who fills her in on Mariano’s case. Juana tells her the bad news that Jughead snitched to Fernando about her whereabouts. Teresa rants about Jughead. Juana changes the subject back to Fernando. She wants to know the truth. Teresa tells the story of Arturo getting drunk and Luisa taking his side. Fernando was the only one who comforted her. Teresa hadn’t wanted to tell anyone how things really were, not Juana, mom, or dad. She tells Juana that Luisa behaved very badly toward her. Ever since that friend, Lucia, showed up. Teresa claims Lucia was always in love with Arturo! Oh, woe is Teresa, Luisa encouraged Lucia to go after Arturo! Being rich and connected, Lucia would be able to help them regain their fortune. Juana is shocked, and so am I! (what a load of bullsh*t!) Of course Teresa now claims Arturo and she begain arguing more because of Luisa and Lucia. He began drinking and the only one who cared for her was Fernando. Juana asks again if there’s something going on. Teresa asks how could she possibly get involved with a man who is engaged with her husband’s sister? However, she does confess she’s very confused. She is so disappointed in Luisa and Arturo. Now that Fernando is free, he’s asked if she’s interested. Juana’s bug eyed impactada! The lies continue. Teresa claims she rejected him. Why, even today when he went looking for her at the precinct, she told him she never wanted to see him again. She swears it. (ok, technically, that last part is true). KNOCK, KNOCK! Who’s there? FER! Fer who? FERNEANDERTHAL!!!! And he wants to talk. Teresa’s very sorry but she told him not to come looking for her. She asks him not raise a ruckus. Juana asks him to leave.
HOSPITAL: Dario explains Grampa’s condition to Johnny/Pati/Doofberto. Gramps is stabilized but will require surgery in the morning. Ah, who cares?
CASA CACERES: Aiiiiiida tells Dad that the rrrrrrrrrrrata de vecindad has accused him and Geno to the police. She demands to know the truth. Ruben acts indignant, appalled that Teresa would accuse them even though he confesses he would have gladly killed Fito for everything he’s done. He recalls how bad she got after Paulo’s death and then to top it off, she falls for that Mariano who has brought nothing but disgrace to their family. Aiiida knows Mariano is innocent. Ruben tells her to think about it. Teresa only made the accusation to free Mariano. He’s calling Geno right now so she can see for herself that there is only friendship between them and that the stories Teresa is telling is a despicable lie! He asks Geno to go with him to the precinct to answer the accusations Teresa has made. Before they can leave, Aiiida is interrupted by a call and leaves the room. Ruben reaches for his phone.
CASA LEDESMA: Hernan arrives with a bouquet of roses for Esperanza. She gets a call but hesitates to answer. She answers after Hernan insists it could be about the baby. She answers and it’s Ruben, of course. The way she’s talking, he figures Hernan is there. He warns her if she tells the police or anyone else that Geno and he are lovers, she’ll never see her son again! Hernan asks who it was and she tells him it was a wrong number. Hernan notices she seems nervous and she tells him it’s because she was hoping it was news on Rodriguito! Hernan doesn’t seem convinced.
POLICE STATION: Hector and Aurora speak to Mariano. Hector assures Mariano he believes he’s innocent. Aurora tells him Teresa saw Geno & Ruben dump the body and believes they are the killers.
Ruben and Genoveva have arrived and are talking to Aiiiiida. They can’t believe Teresa says they killed Fito and scoff at the mere idea of an affair and can’t understand where Teresa could’ve gotten such an idea! Geno says she’s never been with another man after her divorce. She dedicated her life to Paulo and now to Paulito. Aiiiida understands but they still need to clarify (aclarar) everything.
VECINDAD: Teresa is satisfied Juana believes her story about Fernando falling in love with her. She tells Juana she plans to spend the night there just in case Fernando goes looking for her at the manse. Refugio arrives and apologizes for having doubted Teresa, thinking she had left her husband for her BFF’s novio. It’s important to her that they remain united now that Armando is gone. Refugio is happy when Juana tells her that Teresa warned Fernando to stay away.
In the morning, Juana notices Teresa is down in the dumps. Teresa explains it’s everything -- Mariano’s arrest and her separation from Arturo. She admits she’s so confused. She’d love nothing more than to forget about Arturo forever and go for the life Fernando can give her. But she admits she’s thinking of giving Arturo another chance. She has the house, no, THEY have the house and they can begin anew. CARAAAAAZY!!!!
PENTHOUSE: Odiosa visits Fernando and wants to know what’s happened at Luna Turqueza. The condos aren’t selling and the prices have fallen (desplomar). This is all in thanks to some negative campaign to discredit (desprestigio) the construction company and him in particular. He has no idea what she’s talking about. She explains there are lawsuits (demanda) against them and there are posters at the condominiums saying they are poorly constructed and that the construction company and Fernando are frauds. Wowsers! Fernando is impactado.
CASA LUCIA: Lucia wonders why Arturo is so serious. He’s troubled by something Mariano said. He repeats what Mariano said about Teresa loving Arturo and that she fell in love with him during that European trip. Lucia supposes it could be true that Teresa loves him, but obviously less than she loves Fernando’s money. Arturo thinks that may be true. He doesn’t know why he keeps hoping, searching for something that will justify Teresa’s actions when her actions have no justification. Lucia suggests he stop thinking of Teresa if it bothers him so much. Arturo wishes he could but everything reminds him of her. He can’t get her out of his mind, much less his heart. Lucia thinks that if he can’t forgive her, he should make the effort to forget her. Suddenly, he turns to her saying he likes her and she suggests they might want to give it a whirl. He wonders if they can try even though he can’t promise her anything (Man Rule #8). She smiles and says she’s willing to take the risk. He can only promise that he’ll give it a lot of effort. They kiss aaaaaaand Teresa walks in! Dun-Dun-DUN! She immediately tears up. She brushes away her tears and starts clapping. “Bravo! I’m so happy to see that you’re resuming your life because I’ve come to see about the divorce.” Lucia leaves but not before giving Arturo a peck (the skank!). Arturo asks if she has the nerve to ask for alimony. Haha. She wants absolutely nothing from him. If they stand before the judge of mutual accord, they can have the divorce in 15 days (wow!). From what she’s just seen, she assumes it’s urgent for him. He tells her of course it’s urgent for him because he wants to cut all ties with her. What time does she want to meet with the judge? He agrees to meet her at 5:00 so they can end their marriage once and for all. He excuses himself so he can tell Lucia the good news. Arturo fights back tears as he leaves the room. Teresa, once alone, says to herself, “and I was going to give you another chance!”
PENTHOUSE: Fernando wonders if momzilla may have been the one who started all the problems with the construction company. She clearly has wanted the company to lose all its contracts and have problems so that when they divide everything, it will be worthless. He’ll be left with scraps (migajas) and she’ll take the contracts from all her friends to a new company. Oriana admits that’s what she’s doing and he already knew that. She tells him the remedy is in his hands. As for the Luna Turqueza problems, she didn’t plan that. He doesn’t believe her. He accuses her of sabotaging the project because Teresa owns Luna Turqueza stock. She denies this, saying she wouldn’t do it because of Arturo, who also owns Luna Turqueza stock. He has suffered enough with Fernando stealing away his wife without having to suffer that final estocada (final blow, stab)
POLICE STATION: Aurora shows Mariano that she’s wearing her engagement ring, meaning she’s ready to marry him. She promises to be with him in good times and in bad. No matter what happens, she will marry him.
CASA TERESA: Oriana arrives just in time to eavesdrop on Fernando and Teresa. They’re arguing about momzilla. Teresa understands he loves his mumsy and wishes she’d accept her but that’s never going to happen. Oriana nods in agreement from her hiding place. Teresa complains about Fernando’s jealousy over Mariano and Arturo. She swears her love for him and only him. Fernando begs Teresa’s forgiveness and promises to control his jealousy. She shouldn’t forgive him but she loves him so much, she can’t say no to him. They kiss. Fernando leaves for an appointment and Oriana quickly tiptoes behind a pillar. What a hoot! She walks into the library to confront Teresa. Teresa notices she didn’t knock and Oriana says she’ll never see this as her house. Oriana comes to the point of her visit. She offers Teresa the possibility of having everything she wants, love and money. Arturo or Mariano, she can go with whomever she truly loves. Teresa doesn’t understand. “Oh, it’s very easy,” says Oriana. She asks Teresa how many millions she wants in order to disappear from her son’s life. Teresa smiles at this and then slithers up to Oriana and says, “Sounds interesting. You tell me, how much is your son’s happiness worth?” cha-ching!
Teresa tells Artie she witnessed Geno and Ruben dumping the body. She tells Art there’s a connection between them and Fito. Mariano figured out that Fito was selling drugs to Paulo and even provided the description to the cops. That’s why that desgraciado Fito disappeared and couldn’t continue selling drugs and started to……um….Art wonders what Fito started doing. Teresa recovers and says that’s why Fito started to run, of course. Art has no idea how happy she is that Fito’s dead (he may not know, but Viewerville does!) She condemns Fito for poisoning everything with his drugs. Their problem at present is that Mariano has no alibi (coartada). Art wonders what Fernando would say if he knew she is defending Mariano. Cue Jaws theme and a look at Ferneanderthal waiting at Casa Teresa while he calls Teresa. She doesn’t answer. Arturo recalls what a good team they once made but she’s ruined even that. Doesn’t she feel bad about everything she’s provoked? She wonders why he never believed she fell in love with him and why he took her back to that vecindad. He tells her he had good reason to doubt her. WHY did she do this to him. Is money really more important than what they had? She reminds him they’re there to help with Mariano and need to get back to work. He tells her to leave if it bothers her that much, he doesn’t need her.
CASA TERESA: Ferneanderthal leaves a voicemail for Teresa asking her to call him back. He wants to know what happened with Arturo. Did he agree to the “Divorcio Express”? Plus, they had dinner plans and he’s waiting for her. Fer is looking a bit disheveled.
BACK AT THE POLICE STATION, Teresa tells Arturo she can testify in Mariano’s defense (en su descargo) and that’s what she plans to do. She realizes that by doing so, she’ll implicate Geno and Ruben in Fito’s murder but she did see them. He wants to make sure she understands this may result in their arrest. She swears she’s telling the truth. She’s not just saying so in order to save Mariano. He knows that someone in love is capable of anything. He knows that only too well. She repeats that she’s telling the truth. It was Geno and Ruben! Geno must hate the man who sold drugs to her son – enough to murder him! She is capable of doing so to avenge the death of Paulo. As for Ruben, he may not have helped in the murder but he did help with the disposal of the body. He sure as heck helped because they’re ----wait for it ---- amantes! Arturo’s all, “¿Que?” She realizes he doesn’t believe everything she says but it’s the truth. Esperanza told her. They have to get the police to investigate. She plans to make her statement today. Arturo wants to wait and tell Aida first (huh?). Teresa thinks Aida will only run and warn Genoveva and Ruben. Well, duh.
CASA LEDESMA: Esperanza is praying that the police find her baby. She prays Ruben isn’t involved in his return. She doesn’t want to go with him; she loves her husband.
POLICE STATION: Aida gives Aurora the good news that she’s managed to get her in to see Mariano, but only for 25 minutes. She may not be a great lawyer but she knows how to get things done. She asks Aurora to tell him to be patient and to let him know they’re doing everything possible to get him out of here. Aurora’s worried that Aida seems doubtful. Aida explains that in situations like this it’s not so much what happens, it’s what you can prove.
CASA LEDESMA: Pati arrives and tells Esperanza that Fito is dead, frito, patas pa’rriba! Before she can tell her Mariano’s being held as a suspect, Espe gets a call from Rubinfeliz saying he’s received pictures of the baby, who happens to be lying there ever so quiet. I was hoping he’d let out a good cry, but it didn’t happen. Ruben says he looks great and hopes to have him soon so he can start living with her. Ugh. He’s coming over with the photos and he’ll be careful not to cross paths with her hubby. Esperanza gives Pati a letter for Hernan in the event anything should happen. Pati wants to know why this is necessary. Is Espe planning to abandon her husband? (pretty sharp cookie, that Pati) Espe weeps and says she loves her husband with all her heart. She wants to be with him the rest of her life. There are things in that letter that she’d like to say to Hernan that she can’t bring herself to say to him in person. She asks Pati to keep the letter and not ask any questions. Hernan arrives..
POLICE STATION: Teresa tells Arturo he must think like a lawyer. In order for justice to be done, he can’t be warning anyone or show considerations for Aida or anyone. She reminds him of what a sinverguenza Ruben has turned out to be. He shouldn’t be surprised Ruben is Geno’s accomplice. And he knows how Aida is, she’ll go straight to Daddy either to admonish him or warn him. Either way, it will interfere with justice.
WITH BARS BETWEEN THEM, Mariano swears his innocence to Aurora. She tells him Arturo, Aida and Teresa are working to prove his innocence. He’s surprised to hear Teresa is there. He doesn’t want Aurora to think he called Teresa. She says she doesn’t doubt him. Teresa? Well, that’s another matter. Arturo walks in and Mariano chooses this awkward moment to tell them both that when Teresa was on the brink of death, she confessed she fell in love with Arturo while in Europe. **ok, this wouldn’t be on my mind if I was being charged with murder, but a little tweak on the ol’ beanie and I’m good to go**
CASA DE GENOVENOM: Rubinfeliz tells Geno he’s been talking to Aida about her. No, no, not about their affair but he’s slowly preparing her. It will help that Geno’s made him her partner in the real estate agency (inmobiliaria) and helping him so much. Geno loves her and would hate to lose her if she were to find out about them. On the contrary, he says, Aiiiida is so grateful and he’s so happy to see that she will be able to share everything with him. Ruben seems so happy, he’s beaming! He wants to take the baby for an outing. Geno wants to come along because she doesn’t want to leave Roddy alone. Ruben reminds her he won’t be alone, he’s with his father. She responds that she’s his mother by love and by everything that is legal. She registered Paulito and got his birth certificate. As of today, he’s hers. She’s registered him as though she were a single mother and he carries her surnames. He’s not too happy and doesn’t understand why she’s done this. She explains they couldn’t register him with Ruben’s name and they don’t have adoption papers. They’ve agreed to share everything. She’ll share her fortune with him and he’ll share his baby with her. Sigh, she thinks they are the perfect couple. She kisses him and he does the ol’ Sharkita eye-roll!
CASA LEDESMA: Hernan is glad to hear that Johnny or Pati will no longer have to fear Fito but he’s worried about Mariano. He heads back to work and Pati excuses herself to use the facilities before she leaves. No sooner does Pati leave the room than the big bad wolf comes knocking on Esperanza’s door. Unlike the 3 little piggies, she doesn’t ask who’s there and Rubinfeliz waltzes right in! He shows her a picture of Rodriguito. ROTFL, the little tyke looks like he’s growing a ‘stache just like the old man! HAHAHA! Anyway, poor Espe is crying, asking for another picture. He agrees but before that, he kisses her. EEEEEWWW!! Pati comes back in the room just in time to see this but she sneaks back out. Espe begs him to leave, explaining her sister-in-law is there and might see everything. She asks him to at least leave her the photo. They begin to struggle with the photo and end up tearing it in two. Pati runs back and yells out to Espe acting as though she can’t find her wallet. Ruben makes a hasty escape. When Pati comes back in she tells Espe not to bother trying to lie, she saw everything.
Espe shows her the picture of Rodriguito and they both cry over it. She explains that while the police haven’t been able to find him, Ruben has managed to get info although she doesn’t know how he’s done it. They even gave him Rodriguito’s medalla. They haven’t told the police because the kidnappers only want to deal with Ruben. They’ve asked him for a lot of money. Pati thinks this all sounds strange. (gee, you think?) Espe explains Ruben’s plan to bring the baby to her if she agrees to take off with him. Pati tells her she can’t abandon Hernan. Espe explains having to choose between them is the worst thing that has ever happened to her but she’s willing to do anything if it will bring her baby back to her. Pati tells her she should at least tell Hernan. If Espe doesn’t, she will! Yay, Pati!
VECINDAD: Ferneanderthal manages to walk upright and runs into Doofberto looking for Teresa. Doofberto gives him the 411 on Teresa being at the jail, defending Marianito. Ferneanderthal is furious, flaring nostrils and all!
POLICE STATION: Hector has arrived to offer his help. Aurora was afraid he’d be angry with Mariano. Hector knows that if anyone respects life, it’s Mariano.
Teresa gives her statement and we see a flashback of the “uno, dos, y TRES” scene where Geno and Ruben throw the body into the canal. I never tire of seeing that. The detective asks Teresa what she was doing there. She explains they were once associates of her husband and her. She suspected them of something underhanded (turbio) and she had to find out. Well, she had been told they were lovers and she wanted to confirm that because one cannot be associated with dishonest people, right? She repeats the bundle was a bag such as the one in the police photo. She’s sure it was them that threw Fito’s body into the canal. She has no reason to lie. Detective wants to know what her relationship is with Mariano. She explains they were once neighbors and she knows him to be a good and honest man incapable of doing such a thing. Detective asks if she’s sure that’s the extent of their relationship. She tells him her relationship with Mariano is not relevant. What is important is her testimony of what happened. Besides, this is a statement, not an interrogation. So there!
Elsewhere in the precinct a very Furious Fernando has arrived looking for blood! He asks Aida, of all people, if Teresa is there. Aiiiida tells him of course she’s there to defend Mariano. Not only that but guess who is teaming with her? Arturo! Nyah, nyaha! Who would’ve thunk it! Teresa and Arturo are working very closely together to liberate Mariano.
Teresa signs her statement. She and Arturo insist that they now free the good Doctor Sanchez and detain Genoveva and Ruben. No can do, says Dick Tracy. They have up to 72 hours.
As he’s saying this, in comes Fernando who angrily accuses Arturo of defending Mariano only to be near Teresa who he grabs by the arm and demands to know why she’s with this infeliz, meaning Arturo.
CASA LEDESMA: Espe desperately begs Pati not to tell Hernan. If she does, Ruben won’t give her the baby. She must have her baby back. After that, she’ll figure out a away to escape or something but for now, she can’t leave Ruben alone with him. Ruben is capable of disappearing and not handing him over to her, or, well she doesn’t know what all. She begs Pati to promise not to say anything to Hernan.
VECINDAD: Juana is beside herself to find out that Dumberto told Fernando where Teresa is. Dumberto says he just answered Fernando’s question about Teresa’s whereabouts. But he thinks he made a mistake, cuz it looked like Fernando was angry. Juana is still convinced that Teresa isn’t involved with Fernando.
BACK AT THE POLICE STATION, Fernando continues to manhandle Teresa while all the cops just stand around looking all official-like. He demands to know why she’s involved in defending Mariano. She breaks away from him and Arturo intervenes. Fernando shoves him back and reminds him she wants nothing more than to divorce him. Arturo says she’s only doing so to get at Fer’s money. As he’s told him before, Fernando will spend his time being jealous, wondering if she’s with Arturo or Mariano. Captain finally speaks up, telling them both to calm down or off to the pokey with both of them! Now Hector joins in, admonishing both Arturo and Fernando, telling them both to handle things in a civilized manner. The Captain warns Arturo to behave or he will be denied access to the precinct. Hector appreciates Teresa wanting to help Aurora but he thinks it’s best she leave now. She explains she was there to give her statement. She’s already done that, so she’s leaving. She tells Aurora she can count on her if she needs her help. Aiiiida cattily says Adios to Teresa who reminds her that she who laughs last, laughs best!
VECINDAD: Doofberto is busy watering plants and Pati seeks his advice. Oh boy, is she in trouble! He assumes Johnny’s done something but she explains it has to do with Esperanza but before she can say anything, the other genius, Johnny, comes running in to tell her Grumpy Gramps has been taken to the hospital, vomiting blood. EEEEEW! The Princess, the Frog, and the Jester all rush off for the hospital.
POLICE PRECINCT: Hector tells Arturo he’s very sorry for what’s happening between him and Teresa because of his ex-buddy. Aiiiiida chimes in that this is what Teresa provokes. Arturo changes the subject back to Mariano. He’s admitted knowing Fito, fighting with him and threatening to kill him. Arturo tells them Mariano will remain detained but he’s managed to keep him from being transferred to prison. He explains Teresa has issued a statement shedding new info on the situation but until that info is verified, nothing will change. Aiiida is anxious to know what was in that statement but Arturo wisely refuses to divulge that for now. Hector didn’t know who Fito was and Aiiida fills him in, telling him Fito was a drug dealer and lived in the same vecindad as Teresa. She’s agitated because for so long she wanted justice for Paulo and now that Fito is dead, she can’t relax because Mariano’s been unjustly accused of his murder.
Outside, Fernando drags Teresa through the door (on his way to his Neanderthal cave, I guess). He demands to know, again, why she insists on defending Mariano. Her relationship with him ended long ago so what could it matter to her if he’s free or if he rots in prison? Basta!, she tells him. Even though she stopped loving Mariano long ago, she has to be there for him because he saved her life and he’s saved her mother’s life on numerous occasions. Besides he’s her BFF’s novio. She also has information that could prove his innocence. Through clenched teeth, he reminds her he left Luisa, is confronting (enfrentar) his mother and stands to lose many things…..she trumps him, reminding him that she lost her father because she’s divorcing Arturo. She accuses him of caring only about what he’s lost. He backs off and apologizes, saying he didn’t mean it that way. She tells him if he’s going to continue to complain about everything he’s lost, he can just forget it! She thought he wanted to be with her and not care about anything else just as she’s done but apparently that’s not how it is. It’s best they just end it now. She hails a cab and all he can do is bang on the window and scream out her name as the cab drives off. Ooooooh, he’s angry! He is getting scary. I think Sharkita is biting off more than she can chew!
Inside, Aiiida is taking her leave. When they’re alone, Arturo explains to Hector and Aurora what Teresa saw. He didn’t want to say anything in front of Aiiiida so that she wouldn’t warn Ruben. Arturo hasn’t noticed that Aiiiida hasn’t really left and has heard everything. Arturo explains Geno’s and Ruben’s motives for killing Fito. Aiiiiida can’t take it anymore and bursts in saying these are all lies fabricated by Teresa to hurt her. She just wants to destroy Ruben because of his prior convictions. Arturo also tells her Espe’s story of finding Geno and Ruben in a compromising position. Lies, all lies, says Aiiiiiida. Everything that rrrrrrrata says are lies and Arturo, more than anyone, should know this.
VECINDAD: Juana arrives at her apartment to find Teresa who fills her in on Mariano’s case. Juana tells her the bad news that Jughead snitched to Fernando about her whereabouts. Teresa rants about Jughead. Juana changes the subject back to Fernando. She wants to know the truth. Teresa tells the story of Arturo getting drunk and Luisa taking his side. Fernando was the only one who comforted her. Teresa hadn’t wanted to tell anyone how things really were, not Juana, mom, or dad. She tells Juana that Luisa behaved very badly toward her. Ever since that friend, Lucia, showed up. Teresa claims Lucia was always in love with Arturo! Oh, woe is Teresa, Luisa encouraged Lucia to go after Arturo! Being rich and connected, Lucia would be able to help them regain their fortune. Juana is shocked, and so am I! (what a load of bullsh*t!) Of course Teresa now claims Arturo and she begain arguing more because of Luisa and Lucia. He began drinking and the only one who cared for her was Fernando. Juana asks again if there’s something going on. Teresa asks how could she possibly get involved with a man who is engaged with her husband’s sister? However, she does confess she’s very confused. She is so disappointed in Luisa and Arturo. Now that Fernando is free, he’s asked if she’s interested. Juana’s bug eyed impactada! The lies continue. Teresa claims she rejected him. Why, even today when he went looking for her at the precinct, she told him she never wanted to see him again. She swears it. (ok, technically, that last part is true). KNOCK, KNOCK! Who’s there? FER! Fer who? FERNEANDERTHAL!!!! And he wants to talk. Teresa’s very sorry but she told him not to come looking for her. She asks him not raise a ruckus. Juana asks him to leave.
HOSPITAL: Dario explains Grampa’s condition to Johnny/Pati/Doofberto. Gramps is stabilized but will require surgery in the morning. Ah, who cares?
CASA CACERES: Aiiiiiida tells Dad that the rrrrrrrrrrrata de vecindad has accused him and Geno to the police. She demands to know the truth. Ruben acts indignant, appalled that Teresa would accuse them even though he confesses he would have gladly killed Fito for everything he’s done. He recalls how bad she got after Paulo’s death and then to top it off, she falls for that Mariano who has brought nothing but disgrace to their family. Aiiida knows Mariano is innocent. Ruben tells her to think about it. Teresa only made the accusation to free Mariano. He’s calling Geno right now so she can see for herself that there is only friendship between them and that the stories Teresa is telling is a despicable lie! He asks Geno to go with him to the precinct to answer the accusations Teresa has made. Before they can leave, Aiiida is interrupted by a call and leaves the room. Ruben reaches for his phone.
CASA LEDESMA: Hernan arrives with a bouquet of roses for Esperanza. She gets a call but hesitates to answer. She answers after Hernan insists it could be about the baby. She answers and it’s Ruben, of course. The way she’s talking, he figures Hernan is there. He warns her if she tells the police or anyone else that Geno and he are lovers, she’ll never see her son again! Hernan asks who it was and she tells him it was a wrong number. Hernan notices she seems nervous and she tells him it’s because she was hoping it was news on Rodriguito! Hernan doesn’t seem convinced.
POLICE STATION: Hector and Aurora speak to Mariano. Hector assures Mariano he believes he’s innocent. Aurora tells him Teresa saw Geno & Ruben dump the body and believes they are the killers.
Ruben and Genoveva have arrived and are talking to Aiiiiida. They can’t believe Teresa says they killed Fito and scoff at the mere idea of an affair and can’t understand where Teresa could’ve gotten such an idea! Geno says she’s never been with another man after her divorce. She dedicated her life to Paulo and now to Paulito. Aiiiida understands but they still need to clarify (aclarar) everything.
VECINDAD: Teresa is satisfied Juana believes her story about Fernando falling in love with her. She tells Juana she plans to spend the night there just in case Fernando goes looking for her at the manse. Refugio arrives and apologizes for having doubted Teresa, thinking she had left her husband for her BFF’s novio. It’s important to her that they remain united now that Armando is gone. Refugio is happy when Juana tells her that Teresa warned Fernando to stay away.
In the morning, Juana notices Teresa is down in the dumps. Teresa explains it’s everything -- Mariano’s arrest and her separation from Arturo. She admits she’s so confused. She’d love nothing more than to forget about Arturo forever and go for the life Fernando can give her. But she admits she’s thinking of giving Arturo another chance. She has the house, no, THEY have the house and they can begin anew. CARAAAAAZY!!!!
PENTHOUSE: Odiosa visits Fernando and wants to know what’s happened at Luna Turqueza. The condos aren’t selling and the prices have fallen (desplomar). This is all in thanks to some negative campaign to discredit (desprestigio) the construction company and him in particular. He has no idea what she’s talking about. She explains there are lawsuits (demanda) against them and there are posters at the condominiums saying they are poorly constructed and that the construction company and Fernando are frauds. Wowsers! Fernando is impactado.
CASA LUCIA: Lucia wonders why Arturo is so serious. He’s troubled by something Mariano said. He repeats what Mariano said about Teresa loving Arturo and that she fell in love with him during that European trip. Lucia supposes it could be true that Teresa loves him, but obviously less than she loves Fernando’s money. Arturo thinks that may be true. He doesn’t know why he keeps hoping, searching for something that will justify Teresa’s actions when her actions have no justification. Lucia suggests he stop thinking of Teresa if it bothers him so much. Arturo wishes he could but everything reminds him of her. He can’t get her out of his mind, much less his heart. Lucia thinks that if he can’t forgive her, he should make the effort to forget her. Suddenly, he turns to her saying he likes her and she suggests they might want to give it a whirl. He wonders if they can try even though he can’t promise her anything (Man Rule #8). She smiles and says she’s willing to take the risk. He can only promise that he’ll give it a lot of effort. They kiss aaaaaaand Teresa walks in! Dun-Dun-DUN! She immediately tears up. She brushes away her tears and starts clapping. “Bravo! I’m so happy to see that you’re resuming your life because I’ve come to see about the divorce.” Lucia leaves but not before giving Arturo a peck (the skank!). Arturo asks if she has the nerve to ask for alimony. Haha. She wants absolutely nothing from him. If they stand before the judge of mutual accord, they can have the divorce in 15 days (wow!). From what she’s just seen, she assumes it’s urgent for him. He tells her of course it’s urgent for him because he wants to cut all ties with her. What time does she want to meet with the judge? He agrees to meet her at 5:00 so they can end their marriage once and for all. He excuses himself so he can tell Lucia the good news. Arturo fights back tears as he leaves the room. Teresa, once alone, says to herself, “and I was going to give you another chance!”
PENTHOUSE: Fernando wonders if momzilla may have been the one who started all the problems with the construction company. She clearly has wanted the company to lose all its contracts and have problems so that when they divide everything, it will be worthless. He’ll be left with scraps (migajas) and she’ll take the contracts from all her friends to a new company. Oriana admits that’s what she’s doing and he already knew that. She tells him the remedy is in his hands. As for the Luna Turqueza problems, she didn’t plan that. He doesn’t believe her. He accuses her of sabotaging the project because Teresa owns Luna Turqueza stock. She denies this, saying she wouldn’t do it because of Arturo, who also owns Luna Turqueza stock. He has suffered enough with Fernando stealing away his wife without having to suffer that final estocada (final blow, stab)
POLICE STATION: Aurora shows Mariano that she’s wearing her engagement ring, meaning she’s ready to marry him. She promises to be with him in good times and in bad. No matter what happens, she will marry him.
CASA TERESA: Oriana arrives just in time to eavesdrop on Fernando and Teresa. They’re arguing about momzilla. Teresa understands he loves his mumsy and wishes she’d accept her but that’s never going to happen. Oriana nods in agreement from her hiding place. Teresa complains about Fernando’s jealousy over Mariano and Arturo. She swears her love for him and only him. Fernando begs Teresa’s forgiveness and promises to control his jealousy. She shouldn’t forgive him but she loves him so much, she can’t say no to him. They kiss. Fernando leaves for an appointment and Oriana quickly tiptoes behind a pillar. What a hoot! She walks into the library to confront Teresa. Teresa notices she didn’t knock and Oriana says she’ll never see this as her house. Oriana comes to the point of her visit. She offers Teresa the possibility of having everything she wants, love and money. Arturo or Mariano, she can go with whomever she truly loves. Teresa doesn’t understand. “Oh, it’s very easy,” says Oriana. She asks Teresa how many millions she wants in order to disappear from her son’s life. Teresa smiles at this and then slithers up to Oriana and says, “Sounds interesting. You tell me, how much is your son’s happiness worth?” cha-ching!

La Fuerza del Destino #38 Tue 09/27/11
Antolin, Carolina and Alex have stopped to have a bite to eat before continuing on there trip. Antolin leaves to get directions and Alex to speak to his father. Carolina lies and says she has no cell service. He excuses himself to go to the bathroom. Antolin comes back and asks Carolina for the truth. Is Gerry messing with her or does all this have to do with Ivan? She promises to tell him when they arrive.
Back at the local bar, Camilo and Ivan are looking for the guy they call "El Gordo". The bartender says he was their last night, but hasn't shown up their today. He was talking last night with Saul. He hadn't seen Antolin in a while. Do they want to leave "El Gordo" a message if he sees him? They decline and leave.
Antolin, Carolina and Alex have arrived at their destination.
Camilo and Ivan go visit Celia and ask for Antolin's cell number. Camilo makes up a lie saying they want to see if he wants to still me an associate in the ranch. Camilo calls but no answer.
When they arrive in the town, Antolin asks Carolina for the phone number to call her cousin to tell them they have arrived. She tells him she forgot the book where she had it listed. She then confesses she never called her cousin to tell her that she was coming. But she remembers that she had a business called "La Joja". Antolin drives around and finds the store. Carolina tells Alex to stay in the car while she and Antolin go in. Estella recognizes Carolina right away and embraces her. Antolin introduces himself as her boyfriend. Carolina asks him to go stay in the car with Alex while she has a conversation alone with Estella. Carolina tells Estella that she has something really important to talk with her about. Estella asks if she's pregnant. No, replies Carolina. But it's really bad.
Lucia tells Carlota that it was wrong of her mother to invite Maripaz to the party at the McGuire's. Carlota asks her if she's jealous. Lucia denies it. Lucia phone rings and its Ivan. He asks her if she has had a chance to talk to her dad about leaving for vacation next week. Lucia tells him she hasn't had a chance but did tell Carolina. They agree for him to come over later. Camilo thinks that Ivan is overreacting and that Carolina and Alex probably have already returned to the house. Ivan drops it and they go about there day.
Estella says she knew that he (Gerry) was hiding something. How can you marry someone after knowing them for only 3 weeks? Carolina says unfortunately my sister died to early. I raised him and love him dearly. I love him more then anything. He is like my son. I understand replies Estella. But you just told me that he is a kidnapped child. Yes, and Gerry wants to return him. And I don't replies Carolina. I don't know lies Carolina. That's why I'm begging you, if Gerry calls tell him I'm not here. I have money and can rent a room. Estella says there is plenty of room and no sense in renting. I'm alone, but sooner or later Gerry will find you. I will talk to Gerry eventually and tell him to forget about me and Alex replies Carolina. Estella says he won't listen. I'll find a way says Carolina. Estella asks if her boyfriend knows about all this? No and neither does Alex replies Carolina. Alex adores Gerry.
Antolin and Alex are talking. Alex tells him about the vacation he's going to take with Ivan, Lucia and "Abuela". He explains that it's Carlota, but he can call that. Carolina and Estella come out and he gets introduced to her. Carolina tells Alex that they are going to stay for a couple days. Alex says they were supposed to go to Ivan's house. Carolina explains that they are going to wait until Ivan makes it out to the house first then they will join him. She doesn't want to go to a house that she has never been to before. He wants to go play at the beach, but she tells him it's late and it's probably cold. Antolin says it will probably be okay and he will take him. He says he'll take their luggage inside and check in at the local hotel and come back for Alex.
At the local plant, they are showing how prepare the produce. They sign a contract with Herdez. They have good salsa.
Antolin is showing Alex how to swim. It's cute.
Ivan comes over and Lucia asks how he's doing. He tells her a little worried about tomorrow with JJ and his cronies coming to the party. Lucia asks him why he calls him Mondragon instead of "padre". Ivan says he never was to him. His father is Anthony. One day he will tell her about his first encounters with him. But right now I don't want to talk about it. I want to tell you right now how much I love you. If I hadn't found you again, I would be seeking to get back at all those who did me wrong. But you appeared and with your magic wand and filled me with happiness. Lucia tells him that no matter what happens she will never stop loving him. They kiss.
Gerry gets home late and Carolina's paid companion runs up and tells him that Carolina and Alex have not returned. She saw that a suitcase was missing from her room and Alex's. Did someone come for them asks Gerry? I don't know replies the girl. She sent me on an errand. When I came back she was gone. Gerry asks if perhaps Ivan or Lucia came for them, but the girl says she doesn't know. Ivan came asking for them. She's scared. Gerry tells her not to worry and go to bed. Gerry says she ran and took Alex with her. The phone suddenly rings and it's Carolina. Gerry asks her what did she do? Where is she? Carolina tells him that she could not let Ivan take Alex from her. She has raised him. He is her son. Gerry tells her Ivan would never do that. You think about Alex. Carolina tells him that he is a foul. Of course Ivan will take Alex from them. I have taken care of him for 10 years. Given him my life and my love. I will not let someone take him away from me. Gerry tells her not to be an idiot. That will not happen. Ivan is his father says Gerry. Carolina says Alex is the most important thing in her life. When Gerry asks Carolina where she's at, she hangs up.
Ivan asks Lucia if she's told Gerry yet about the vacation. Lucia says not yet, but I can call him up. Ivan offers up his phone and dials it for her. Lucia asks her father if Carolina told him about them leaving on vacation Monday. Of course replies Gerry. Great replies Lucia.
Antolin and Carolina are taking a walk. Antolin tells her that he and Alex have been talking about Ivan and the trip. He wants to know what's going on. Carolina finally spills the beans. Alex is Ivan's son. And it's not fair that he wants to take him from me.
Gerry is looking up Estella's number in Carolina's phone. He asks if Carolina's there. No replies Estella.
Carolina's is leaving nothing out in her story. She tells Antolin that they have taken care of Alex for 10 years. Antolin asks if Maripaz knows? I don't think so replies Carolina. If she does, she doesn't care. She wanted to abort the baby. So Ivan is interested in the kid asks Antolin? But he hasn't raised him replies Carolina. He wasn't at his bedside when he was sick, or given him education, played with him or suffered along side of him. And just because he knocked someone up doesn't give him the right to be a father. And what does Gerry say asks Antolin. You know Gerry replies Carolina. He is very weak. Ivan already suspects that Alex is his and sooner or later Gerry will tell him. And on top of that, Lucia already knows the truth. She's in love with Ivan and I'm sure she'll tell him. And I will be alone. Without the one and only thing I love. Antolin asks her why she thinks that she will not be able to have love from someone else? She is a beautiful and wonderful woman. She can get married and have her own children. Carolina asks who would want to marry her? Antolin says when a man loves a woman they do it for love, no matter what. I would marry you, but I dare not propose it. Like my mother says, I will one day end up dead with a blow to the head or lying in a ditch. Carolina tells him not to say that. Antolin says I say this because it's true. You need a man that is decent and will make you happy. Carolina says she adores Alex and couldn't stand for someone to take him from her. Antolin promises to help her, but she's playing a dangerous game.
Estella tells Carolina that Gerry called. But she told him that she wasn't there. Estella asks Carolina to tell her who Ivan is. Carolina tells her that Ivan is Alex's dad. Is he rich asks Estella. Yes, very much replies Carolina. Estella tells her sooner or later he will take Alex from you. Carolina tells her no one will take Alex from her.
Carmen goes back to her old job.
Benito is showing Anthony his new suit that he got for the party. Anthony likes it, but tells him he can't go because he has to stay with Bruno. Carmen knocks on the door. She thanks Anthony for giving her old job back. He tells her to make sure that she treats everyone well and Bruno too. Carmen promises. Anthony tells Benito do you know why I don't want Bruno to stay here alone when Carmen leaves the room. Benito laughs and says he gets it.
Lucia is looking through her clothes trying to figure out what to wear to the party.
Maripaz shows up on time to go to the party with the others. Lucrecia tells her not to drink to much.
JJ asks Saul if his friend has talked to the police yet. Saul tells him not yet. JJ says to tell him that he saw the same truck at the party too.
They show footage of broccoli, lettuce and other produce. People walking through the plant and then being invited to the party.
The party has started with a mariachi band playing and the Curiel's arriving. Ivan warmly greets Lucia. Followed by Camilo. Of course Maripaz comes up and kisses Ivan on the cheek and starts scolding him for not inviting her. Lucia is annoyed. Ivan brushes her off and pulls Lucia away to introduce her to someone. Maripaz is clearly annoyed and tells Camilo that he may have money, but he is still low class. Camilo smiles and tells her that he's low class and has no money. Maripaz says oh well, your cute. What do they have to drink? Everything replies Camilo. Then get me a tequila says Maripaz.
"El Gordo" is calling the cops and reporting the truck he saw burning the Guilberto Mendena ranch at the party. The cop asks for the plate number and the description of the truck. The cop finds out it's registered to "McGuire & Son". He wants to act fast but with discretion. He understands that Attorney Torres is there.
JJ arrives and says "I told you I would be here". Ivan says even your cronies came even though they wouldn't come near us. Anthony greets the Madragon ladies. Saul spots Lucia and Ivan together. Maripaz comments that Saul must be seething seeing them together to Camilo. Saul stares at Lucia and Ivan. Lucia notices Saul starting at them and looks uncomfortable. Maripaz asks Camilo if he's brothers with Antolin? When Camilo confirms it, she tells him she can't decide who's more handsome. She then spots David and can't believe the wimp hasn't come over to say "hi" yet. Camilo tells her perhaps he doesn't want to. Maripaz asks Camilo if he has a girlfriend. No replies Camilo. Maripaz says one day she'll invite him over for a little "party" at her house. Camilo can't quite make her out.
Ivan comes to greet Attorney Torres and introduces them to the Curiel's. Saul comes over and says "hi" to Torres, but gets a "hi" back and then gets ignored.
Anthony is making a speech, Lucia & Ivan are cuddling and Maripaz is trying to stay awake. Suddenly the cop is at the door.
Antolin runs up from the beach and tells Carolina how wonderful she looks. He tries to convince her to go into the water with Alex yelling for her to come in too. She takes off her cover and he starts checking her out.
The cop decides to wait. He doesn't want to cause a scandal in front of Attorney Torres.
Carolina is putting sunblock on Alex and then Antolin. Of course Antolin is only to happy to return the favor. Antolin and Alex are playing soccor on the beach and building a sand castle. Then Antolin takes Alex and Carolina for a walk down the beach and of course has to hold Carolina's hand, but I sense a spark.
Lucrecia tells JJ that everything turned out pretty well. She thinks business with the McGuire's will be good. JJ thinks things will turn out bad. Why is that questions Lucrecia? Because these gringos will keep all the profits replies JJ.
Ester asks David why he won't greet his dad. David says he prefers not to, to avoid a scene.
Judith goes over to talk to Camilo.
Gerry visits Alicia grave. He wonders where Carolina took there grandchild. The cemetery keeper shows up and Gerry leaves.
Maripaz sees an opportunity to talk to Ivan when Lucia leaves with some gentlemen. She asks him if he's not happy that she came. Ivan tells her he didn't expect her. Maripaz asks if they can't be friends. Ivan tells her it's not the right time to speak of that. I have many people to speak with and leaves. Maripaz gets annoyed then shocked when she sees the cops coming in. JJ and Saul look at the cops coming in. Ivan spots them and gets Camilo to come with him. Attorney Torres gets up to and asks what's up. The cop says sorry but we now know who set fire to the Mendena ranch. Turns out it's Camilo's truck. Ivan and Anthony both defend Camilo. Ivan is about to fight when the cop says they have to take Camilo in. Anthony holds him back and Ivan tells Camilo they will get the best attorney in the state.
Tomorrow: Don't know. My recording stopped.
Back at the local bar, Camilo and Ivan are looking for the guy they call "El Gordo". The bartender says he was their last night, but hasn't shown up their today. He was talking last night with Saul. He hadn't seen Antolin in a while. Do they want to leave "El Gordo" a message if he sees him? They decline and leave.
Antolin, Carolina and Alex have arrived at their destination.
Camilo and Ivan go visit Celia and ask for Antolin's cell number. Camilo makes up a lie saying they want to see if he wants to still me an associate in the ranch. Camilo calls but no answer.
When they arrive in the town, Antolin asks Carolina for the phone number to call her cousin to tell them they have arrived. She tells him she forgot the book where she had it listed. She then confesses she never called her cousin to tell her that she was coming. But she remembers that she had a business called "La Joja". Antolin drives around and finds the store. Carolina tells Alex to stay in the car while she and Antolin go in. Estella recognizes Carolina right away and embraces her. Antolin introduces himself as her boyfriend. Carolina asks him to go stay in the car with Alex while she has a conversation alone with Estella. Carolina tells Estella that she has something really important to talk with her about. Estella asks if she's pregnant. No, replies Carolina. But it's really bad.
Lucia tells Carlota that it was wrong of her mother to invite Maripaz to the party at the McGuire's. Carlota asks her if she's jealous. Lucia denies it. Lucia phone rings and its Ivan. He asks her if she has had a chance to talk to her dad about leaving for vacation next week. Lucia tells him she hasn't had a chance but did tell Carolina. They agree for him to come over later. Camilo thinks that Ivan is overreacting and that Carolina and Alex probably have already returned to the house. Ivan drops it and they go about there day.
Estella says she knew that he (Gerry) was hiding something. How can you marry someone after knowing them for only 3 weeks? Carolina says unfortunately my sister died to early. I raised him and love him dearly. I love him more then anything. He is like my son. I understand replies Estella. But you just told me that he is a kidnapped child. Yes, and Gerry wants to return him. And I don't replies Carolina. I don't know lies Carolina. That's why I'm begging you, if Gerry calls tell him I'm not here. I have money and can rent a room. Estella says there is plenty of room and no sense in renting. I'm alone, but sooner or later Gerry will find you. I will talk to Gerry eventually and tell him to forget about me and Alex replies Carolina. Estella says he won't listen. I'll find a way says Carolina. Estella asks if her boyfriend knows about all this? No and neither does Alex replies Carolina. Alex adores Gerry.
Antolin and Alex are talking. Alex tells him about the vacation he's going to take with Ivan, Lucia and "Abuela". He explains that it's Carlota, but he can call that. Carolina and Estella come out and he gets introduced to her. Carolina tells Alex that they are going to stay for a couple days. Alex says they were supposed to go to Ivan's house. Carolina explains that they are going to wait until Ivan makes it out to the house first then they will join him. She doesn't want to go to a house that she has never been to before. He wants to go play at the beach, but she tells him it's late and it's probably cold. Antolin says it will probably be okay and he will take him. He says he'll take their luggage inside and check in at the local hotel and come back for Alex.
At the local plant, they are showing how prepare the produce. They sign a contract with Herdez. They have good salsa.
Antolin is showing Alex how to swim. It's cute.
Ivan comes over and Lucia asks how he's doing. He tells her a little worried about tomorrow with JJ and his cronies coming to the party. Lucia asks him why he calls him Mondragon instead of "padre". Ivan says he never was to him. His father is Anthony. One day he will tell her about his first encounters with him. But right now I don't want to talk about it. I want to tell you right now how much I love you. If I hadn't found you again, I would be seeking to get back at all those who did me wrong. But you appeared and with your magic wand and filled me with happiness. Lucia tells him that no matter what happens she will never stop loving him. They kiss.
Gerry gets home late and Carolina's paid companion runs up and tells him that Carolina and Alex have not returned. She saw that a suitcase was missing from her room and Alex's. Did someone come for them asks Gerry? I don't know replies the girl. She sent me on an errand. When I came back she was gone. Gerry asks if perhaps Ivan or Lucia came for them, but the girl says she doesn't know. Ivan came asking for them. She's scared. Gerry tells her not to worry and go to bed. Gerry says she ran and took Alex with her. The phone suddenly rings and it's Carolina. Gerry asks her what did she do? Where is she? Carolina tells him that she could not let Ivan take Alex from her. She has raised him. He is her son. Gerry tells her Ivan would never do that. You think about Alex. Carolina tells him that he is a foul. Of course Ivan will take Alex from them. I have taken care of him for 10 years. Given him my life and my love. I will not let someone take him away from me. Gerry tells her not to be an idiot. That will not happen. Ivan is his father says Gerry. Carolina says Alex is the most important thing in her life. When Gerry asks Carolina where she's at, she hangs up.
Ivan asks Lucia if she's told Gerry yet about the vacation. Lucia says not yet, but I can call him up. Ivan offers up his phone and dials it for her. Lucia asks her father if Carolina told him about them leaving on vacation Monday. Of course replies Gerry. Great replies Lucia.
Antolin and Carolina are taking a walk. Antolin tells her that he and Alex have been talking about Ivan and the trip. He wants to know what's going on. Carolina finally spills the beans. Alex is Ivan's son. And it's not fair that he wants to take him from me.
Gerry is looking up Estella's number in Carolina's phone. He asks if Carolina's there. No replies Estella.
Carolina's is leaving nothing out in her story. She tells Antolin that they have taken care of Alex for 10 years. Antolin asks if Maripaz knows? I don't think so replies Carolina. If she does, she doesn't care. She wanted to abort the baby. So Ivan is interested in the kid asks Antolin? But he hasn't raised him replies Carolina. He wasn't at his bedside when he was sick, or given him education, played with him or suffered along side of him. And just because he knocked someone up doesn't give him the right to be a father. And what does Gerry say asks Antolin. You know Gerry replies Carolina. He is very weak. Ivan already suspects that Alex is his and sooner or later Gerry will tell him. And on top of that, Lucia already knows the truth. She's in love with Ivan and I'm sure she'll tell him. And I will be alone. Without the one and only thing I love. Antolin asks her why she thinks that she will not be able to have love from someone else? She is a beautiful and wonderful woman. She can get married and have her own children. Carolina asks who would want to marry her? Antolin says when a man loves a woman they do it for love, no matter what. I would marry you, but I dare not propose it. Like my mother says, I will one day end up dead with a blow to the head or lying in a ditch. Carolina tells him not to say that. Antolin says I say this because it's true. You need a man that is decent and will make you happy. Carolina says she adores Alex and couldn't stand for someone to take him from her. Antolin promises to help her, but she's playing a dangerous game.
Estella tells Carolina that Gerry called. But she told him that she wasn't there. Estella asks Carolina to tell her who Ivan is. Carolina tells her that Ivan is Alex's dad. Is he rich asks Estella. Yes, very much replies Carolina. Estella tells her sooner or later he will take Alex from you. Carolina tells her no one will take Alex from her.
Carmen goes back to her old job.
Benito is showing Anthony his new suit that he got for the party. Anthony likes it, but tells him he can't go because he has to stay with Bruno. Carmen knocks on the door. She thanks Anthony for giving her old job back. He tells her to make sure that she treats everyone well and Bruno too. Carmen promises. Anthony tells Benito do you know why I don't want Bruno to stay here alone when Carmen leaves the room. Benito laughs and says he gets it.
Lucia is looking through her clothes trying to figure out what to wear to the party.
Maripaz shows up on time to go to the party with the others. Lucrecia tells her not to drink to much.
JJ asks Saul if his friend has talked to the police yet. Saul tells him not yet. JJ says to tell him that he saw the same truck at the party too.
They show footage of broccoli, lettuce and other produce. People walking through the plant and then being invited to the party.
The party has started with a mariachi band playing and the Curiel's arriving. Ivan warmly greets Lucia. Followed by Camilo. Of course Maripaz comes up and kisses Ivan on the cheek and starts scolding him for not inviting her. Lucia is annoyed. Ivan brushes her off and pulls Lucia away to introduce her to someone. Maripaz is clearly annoyed and tells Camilo that he may have money, but he is still low class. Camilo smiles and tells her that he's low class and has no money. Maripaz says oh well, your cute. What do they have to drink? Everything replies Camilo. Then get me a tequila says Maripaz.
"El Gordo" is calling the cops and reporting the truck he saw burning the Guilberto Mendena ranch at the party. The cop asks for the plate number and the description of the truck. The cop finds out it's registered to "McGuire & Son". He wants to act fast but with discretion. He understands that Attorney Torres is there.
JJ arrives and says "I told you I would be here". Ivan says even your cronies came even though they wouldn't come near us. Anthony greets the Madragon ladies. Saul spots Lucia and Ivan together. Maripaz comments that Saul must be seething seeing them together to Camilo. Saul stares at Lucia and Ivan. Lucia notices Saul starting at them and looks uncomfortable. Maripaz asks Camilo if he's brothers with Antolin? When Camilo confirms it, she tells him she can't decide who's more handsome. She then spots David and can't believe the wimp hasn't come over to say "hi" yet. Camilo tells her perhaps he doesn't want to. Maripaz asks Camilo if he has a girlfriend. No replies Camilo. Maripaz says one day she'll invite him over for a little "party" at her house. Camilo can't quite make her out.
Ivan comes to greet Attorney Torres and introduces them to the Curiel's. Saul comes over and says "hi" to Torres, but gets a "hi" back and then gets ignored.
Anthony is making a speech, Lucia & Ivan are cuddling and Maripaz is trying to stay awake. Suddenly the cop is at the door.
Antolin runs up from the beach and tells Carolina how wonderful she looks. He tries to convince her to go into the water with Alex yelling for her to come in too. She takes off her cover and he starts checking her out.
The cop decides to wait. He doesn't want to cause a scandal in front of Attorney Torres.
Carolina is putting sunblock on Alex and then Antolin. Of course Antolin is only to happy to return the favor. Antolin and Alex are playing soccor on the beach and building a sand castle. Then Antolin takes Alex and Carolina for a walk down the beach and of course has to hold Carolina's hand, but I sense a spark.
Lucrecia tells JJ that everything turned out pretty well. She thinks business with the McGuire's will be good. JJ thinks things will turn out bad. Why is that questions Lucrecia? Because these gringos will keep all the profits replies JJ.
Ester asks David why he won't greet his dad. David says he prefers not to, to avoid a scene.
Judith goes over to talk to Camilo.
Gerry visits Alicia grave. He wonders where Carolina took there grandchild. The cemetery keeper shows up and Gerry leaves.
Maripaz sees an opportunity to talk to Ivan when Lucia leaves with some gentlemen. She asks him if he's not happy that she came. Ivan tells her he didn't expect her. Maripaz asks if they can't be friends. Ivan tells her it's not the right time to speak of that. I have many people to speak with and leaves. Maripaz gets annoyed then shocked when she sees the cops coming in. JJ and Saul look at the cops coming in. Ivan spots them and gets Camilo to come with him. Attorney Torres gets up to and asks what's up. The cop says sorry but we now know who set fire to the Mendena ranch. Turns out it's Camilo's truck. Ivan and Anthony both defend Camilo. Ivan is about to fight when the cop says they have to take Camilo in. Anthony holds him back and Ivan tells Camilo they will get the best attorney in the state.
Tomorrow: Don't know. My recording stopped.

Cuando Me Enamoro #113 Tuesday 9/27/11 Fina is smiling, and Gina is crying!!
So I was very negligent last week and did not post my, re-cap so if I am forgiven I will make this week a doozy ( i’ll try anyway) with everything going on in this Novela they will make it a doozy for me. So lets get to it.
Lazaro, is asking Jero, why now why didn’t he tell him sooner, why did he let him believe that he was going to be happy with Kari,and plan his wedding. Jero tries to explain that it was to keep Dr. Creepy safe and eventually bust Auggie.
Cari gushes that she will finally be a family with Lazaro. (um yea about that sorry not quite yet lady)
Jero tells him that he didn’t think they would get married so soon. Jero tells him to make a decision about what is he going to do. Jero suggests that he tell Kari the truth and Laza refuses to tell her the truth, cause she suffered so badly at the hands of Dr. Creepy so he says he will break things off with her and not let her know about Dr.Creepy.
Auggie is furious about the dead vines, the worker is trying to explain that it is not his fault that the vines died and that they are infected with plaque, Ezequiel
The workers are yelling at Carlos to help Alphonsina, he sends someone to get Ezeke.
Jero tries to justify himself more, but Lazaro begs him not to tell Kari about Dr.Creepy. Laza asks to keep them apart forever. Then he says that he will walk away from her forever and that he will die before he causes her any problems.
Mati informs Jero about Alphonsina he looks stunned.
Renata arrives at work Gonzo asks how things went and she tells him that Jero charged no interest and Gonzo can’t believe it. She explains that Jero was very generous, She cries to Gonzo about how much she loves Jero and how they can’t be together, and she doesn’t know what to do with her feelings. Gonzo tries to tell her to give things a chance and she says she can’t she has to try to move on with her life and forget her feelings for him. She cries and Gonzo tries to make her feel better.
Roberta greets Matia’s lawyer who shows up at the house. who is there to tell her he wants a divorce. She tells him that it is not possible because he is stuck, he explains that there was a loophole, that he can file for divorce because she is not having a kid so all bets are off. She looks at the papers and proceeds to tear them up in his face. ( yea that will fix it, problem solved and now you have nothing to worry about, your a magician)
Regina is arriving at the meeting spot with the bag and releases her body guards and tells them to leave her, then she catches a cab.
Connie arrives home Honorio tries to make her feel better, she is trying to talk to them and she can’t seem to get it out. They keep talking about eating and resting, but she wants to tell them that they are in grave danger and that Fina is the problem.
Alphonsina is in with the Dr. she is telling her that she is having contractions way to soon and that they have to stop them and that she has to take care of herself and get plenty of bed rest. Alphonsina is worried because she has to work. The Dr. says they can figure something out.
Laza is crying about why this is happening to him ( umm because this novela is not over for a while now and you must suffer some more before your allowed to be happy) he has a right to be happy, Mati asks whats wrong and he yells at here to leave him alone he has nothing to say.
Manuela tells Kari to not worry about what the Padre said and they wonder why he would say that. She tells Kari that the decision is between she and Laza.
Auggie tells Ezeke that he has been thinking a lot and that he wants to take La Bonita, He tells Ezeke it will be hard, but not impossible. Someone knocks on the door, and tells Ezeke that something is wrong with Alphonsina. Auggie tells him to go and see what is wrong.
Jero and Dr. are gushing about being in love and she tells him that she has an answer to his question, but Padre walks in and sees them kissing and is not happy, then he asks what question and she tells him that Jero asked her to live with him, and she said that she said yes. ( I think there is a heart attack in his near future)
Adri is cooking in the kitchen when Renata walks in, and asks what she is cooking she tells her that it’s for Constanza. Adri tells her about Matias fit and she says he has a right to be angry, and that she needs to make a decision as soon as possible, Adri tells her that she knows she loves Matias, but there is something about Chema that makes her happy too, she wonders how she is supposed to make the right decision. She is afraid to make the right choice. Nata tells her that she is the wrong person to ask she is confused herself, about Jero not charging interest on the loan and then him loving the Dr.
Gina meets with Fina and demands that she tell her where her daughter is , Fina hands her an envelope with a picture in it and Gina opens it and sees a picture of the family Monterubbio, and Fina takes pleasure in telling her that she Pepa is also Fina Monterubbio, which leaves Gina speechless. She can’t believe this is true. Fina tells her that she is so stupid, and then tells her that she was the one who tried to kill her, twice. But she is like a cat with many lives. She not only wants her money, but for her to suffer. She reveals that she killed her husband for leaving her daughter with nothing. Gina calls her a monster.
Padre refuses to allow her to live with Jero in sin, he tries to explain things to Padre and he is not buying it he wants him to marry her, she apologizes that he is not happy, but she is going to live with him without a promise of marriage. Padre asks if they are going to live together as friends with no hanky panky, he says he will not give his blessing. Jero asks if she is sure and she swears she is (is she kidding? really? what an idiot I was going to feel bad when she got dumped for Nata, but now she gets what she gets for falling for this crap)
Fina keeps explaining all the damage she has done, including killing her mother, Gina now realizes that her mom was trying to tell her, (DUHHHHH) Fina is taking pleasure in telling her Tony helped her, Gina does not believe that she helped, then she puts it all together but still is in denial. Fina tells her she hates her since the moment they met. Gina demands she tell her who her daughter is, Fina tells her to be patient, she wants to enjoy the moment.
Gonzo tries calling Gina and gets her voicemail, he is worried.
Nata and Adri are reading a book about dreams, she is explaining the meaning of her dream about Jero and she tells her it could mean someone will die, Nata gets freaked and Adri explains that it’s not for sure it is just an interpretation. Nata does not want to believe her. So she calls Jero to feel better and get his voicemail. She feels silly and tries to let it go.
Fina is just driving the dagger in deeper, she tells Gina that she will not be with Gonzo. Gina argues that they love each other, more than he loved her and more than Roberto loved her. Then she tells her to be careful, or someone could get hurt like Constanza. Gina is now horrified at all that Fina has done. Fina tells her that Coni was to nosey and she paid for it.
The spoiled brat Roberta arrives at the office, drunk and demands to talk to her dad. The secretary( who will wish she took the day off) tells her he is busy and she gets in her face and demands to see him. She starts to walk to his office and she tells Roberta to go get a cup of coffee and wait, she refuses and pushes the secretary out of the way and heads for the office.
Fina goes to leave with the money and Gina demands that she tell her which one of the girls is her daughter and Fina tells her to be patient. She will tell her eventually but not until she is sure she will be safe, Gina begs but Fina is un moved and walks away with the money, and leaves Gina crying on the bench.
Adri is bringing food to Coni who looks like she is not hungry, but desperate to tell Honi what is going on. She wants to scream that Fina is the problem, Honi keeps telling her to calm down and eat. (now I want to punch him, shut up crazy and let her talk)
Gina is thinking about the first time she saw a picture of the girls and that she felt drawn to them and that she needs to figure out which one is her daughter.
Avances: Renata wants to make sure Jero is okay and Fina and Roberta are up to something nasty

Teresa Mon 9/26/11 #146 From Perp Walk to Jailhouse Squawk As Teresa Repays The Favor
Viewerville races to take their seats in front of the screen once more as this fishtale starts to wind down towards its inevitable fin. (Sob.) Esperanza is holding her own pretty well against Ruben, having stood firm against going with him anywhere until he hands over Rodrigo like he’s promised. [Skin crawl alert!] She even lets The Fur Lipped One plant a major liplock on her, leading him on this time, by making him believe that she’ll abandon everything and everyone to be with him once he brings back her son to her. (At least, Viewerville is certain that’s the plan.) Mama, Papagote, and Rodriguitote makes three. Togther they’ll all be one big happy family, Rube croons to “the love of his life”.
Across town, at Casota de La Sra. de la Barrera, aka La Tiburoncita Esa, Teresa is clutching Arturo Bear and looking at herself determinedly in the mirror. She’s repeating her self-control mantra. She tells herself that she must maintain control over her feelings for Arturo so that Fernando never realizes how much she really loves the golden haired doofus de verdad. She’s dying to see him and to be with him!
Later that evening at the vecindad, Rufugio and Juana are in casatita Chavez discussing whether Teresa told them the truth or not about why she’s getting divorced. Ref is eager to speak with her SIL cuz she is certain Tere is pulling the same nonsense on him that she did on Mariano and for the same pathetic moneygrubbing reasons. Juana takes up for Tere and says there’s no reason for her to lie to them. If she says Fernando left Luisa because he fell in love with Tere but that she only sees him as a friend, then that’s the way it is. (Viewerville shares a major communal eye-roll here.)
Teresa is now in her slip and brushing her locks in front of her bedroom mirror when in walks Fernando without knocking. (I liked him better when he wasn’t so presumptuous.) Tere acts a bit surprised to see him back again. He couldn’t stay away, he tells her, because all he could think of was her and wanting to make her his. Nando walks her over to the bed, lays her down, and attempts to seduce her uhhhh-gainnnn. (Hey, I’m game!)
Back at casatita Chavez, Juana and Refu agree that if Art was still drinking hard and heavy, or running around with his sexratary, then of course she should divorce him. On the other hand, says Refu, she knows her daughter’s material girl M.O. and she wouldn’t put it past her. Juana promises to have a chat with both Teresa and Arturo to get both sides of the story, but in the meantime, Refu has got to stop worrying about it for the good of her health.
Back in the boudoire, Tere allows an appropriate amount of lip-locking before breaking away and sitting up on the bed. “--Nooooo!” She whimpers and whines to Nando that she can’t go back on her promise to her dearly departed daddy!! They aren’t married and she has still not gotten her divorce! She could never live with herself if she broke her promise to Papito! Besides, he’s barely in the ground! How could she think about a frolic with Fer so soon?? Fernanderthal, who’s gills are turning blue, is properly chastened by The Chaste One who says she wants there to be no reason for his mother or anyone to accuse her of loose behavior. He apologizes for his libidinous desires. She tells him that she has those same desires, but she has to remain strong for the both of them—or whatever. Fer promises not to pressure her any more. She hugs him appreciatively and simultaneously rolls her eyes at the wall behind his back. (Yes, it’s getting to be a pain, a real sacrifice, for her having to drag this out this way.) As for our Diamond Jim, he’s still biting at the bit and hot to trot, but he manages to contain himself and to race out of the room before he loses total control and ravages his damsel in dis-dress. Once he’s gone, Tere, fights back tears of revulsion. (Sorry. I must pause here and take a moment to finally put on my beanie. If Fernando weren’t a hunk like Daniel Arenas, I might be better able to appreciate Teresa’s supposed revulsion at the thought of any impending roll in the hay with the guy.)
At the same time, Refugio talks to the picture of Armando and cries at the little shrine on the living room floor (must be a cultural thing??), hoping that somehow from Heaven Armie could intervene and keep Tere from committing another sinfully self-serving materialistic act. (Viewerville must have missed the twinkle from on high signifying Armie got the message.) FF>>
At supper, Cutberto is again a gossiping fool. He mentions to Juana along the way that he thinks Teresa’s doing the right thing getting a divorce, because he witnessed with his own eyes that Arturo’s been living with another woman! Juana calls Art a hypocrite [mustio] between servings of salsa and frijoles. FF>>
Speaking of Art, he and Lucia are at a restaurant this evening to celebrate another good day at work. She mentions she knows Art’s still worried about Teresa. He says he can’t avoid it. Lucia tells him he can always be frank with her especially if there’s something he doesn’t want to do. “--The best thing for a relationship to work is to have trust in one another.” (I want to know who died and made her Dr. Laura?) He admits to wanting to be alone in his room. To cheer him up she suggests they just forget dinner and take home dessert to pig out --like they did when she used to sleep over [de pijamadas = sleepovers] at the house with Luisa. (Spare me! Not exactly the kind of sleepover poor ol’ Art needs or wants, I’m sure.)
Aida has a chat with Papagote about his working for Genoveva and the strange way she’s nearly obsessing over the new baby not turning out like Paulo did. They both agree it’s a bit creepy the way she even named the baby the same. Then Ruben’s quick to put distance between him and “Genoveva’s baby”. Aeeeda is suddenly sympathetic and asks if Papi’s gotten any word on “his” son yet. Rube feigns concern and rubs his furrowed brow—in between tragos.
The next morning, Espe tells Hernan she’s no longer going to continue with their therapy sessions and calms her concerned hubby down with a breakfast hour boff.
At the same time, Teresa stops in for an unexpected morning chat-’n-spat with the Mouthy One. Teresa smiles mischievously at Aeeeda and then asks why she felt the need to cause such a dust-up with Fernando about her at the club the other day? Because, says Aeeeda, he needs to know how she’s deceiving him!! Oh deception is it? Oh, like her daddy deceived her mother—and not only with Esperanza!! If she doesn’t believe her then ask her friend, says Teresa--the only and real reason Espe finally ended it with Aeeeeda’s diddling daddy was because she found him making love to Genoveva!! Daddy’s Little Girl Aeeeda is suck-it-in-while-I-get-this-straight-no-puede-ser-impactada from the overwhelming shock! Bulls eye!! Teresa turns imperiously on her high-priced stilleto’s and starts to walk out.
Back at the Ledesma’s, Espe sends Hernan, with his masculinity once again in tact, off to work and feeling now that no, the wifey really does love him; and no, Espe didn’t just marry him to give her kid a name. FF>>
Once again we beam back to Elite Estates and watch gleefully as Teresa smiles perversely at Aeeeda’s misery and confusion. Tere’s just come by to let her know something about her doting Daddy, and of course, to see her suffer some more. Why? Because Aeeeda refuses to stop bothering her!! Aeeeda having regained her speech, starts screaming that she doesn’t believe Tere, but this time we all know that it’s more like she doesn’t want to admit she does believe it! Aeeeda has had her doubts about Daddy (all thanks to Teresa de la Barrera Chavez) and she knows she has plenty of reason to. Why come by there like this??? Teresa says she warned her not to mess with her! Anyway, if she doesn’t believe her, well that’s her problem [alla tú]. Teresa struts out the door. Aeeeda is left fighting back her tears. (Remind me again why we should care?)
At Paradise Pads Highrise meanwhile, a couple of detectives come by looking for information about Fito. They show the apartment manager Fito’s picture and he tells them about the fight Mariano and Fito had. They head off to the hospital.
At the hospital, Juana stops by to speak to Aurora about her getting a surrogate mother so she and Buttberto can have mini-buttberties. (Gawd! Perish the thought! Call Pest Control!) We get a PSA on artificial insemination. Buttberto, meanwhile, has a secret breakfast meeting with Odious Oriana to ask her for another job. He feels honor-bound to tell her, though, that he’s married now to Teresa’s godmother. It would seem La Odiosa has just had a sudden attack of gastritis. FF>>
Fernando is back at the Casota for another love seat mack session with Teresa. He tells Tere that he wants to go with her when she and Art meet to discuss the divorce and sign the paperwork. (Get real!! Ever heard of a thing called privacy??) She insists that her godmother and/or her mother will be there with her. so he shouldn’t have to worry for her. Anyway, she doesn’t want the two of them fighting again. He jealously asks if it’s really because she’s worried about Arturo. She inisists that she’s worried about Fernando and not Art. It’s also because if they start fighting again, then Art might be so angry that he’ll refuse to give her the quickie divorce he’s agreed to. Fernando still insists on going with her. Tere tells him that what’s more important is that things go smoothly so she can get her divorce fast and they won’t have to wait so long to finally get married. (We’ll have to give Nando a buy cuz he’s currently only thinking with his lower brain. Blood is no longer making it past his lower extremeties.) A major mackin’ make-out session thus ensues and seems to pacifiy and satisfy. (Love the way this broad reels him in and gives him a little more slack, then tightens the line again. What a talent! Team Teresa salutes you, girl!)
Back at the hospital, Aurora and Mariano make plans to go on vacation together for a month. Aurora’s worried about making an enemy of Juana since she and Tere are no longer friends. FF>>
Oriana comes to the Casota expecting to find her son there. She finds only Teresa and after some well aimed barbs, threatens never to stop being a thorn in her side. Teresa rubs La Odiosa’s nose in the fact that this house is hers again. Her son has put the house in her name, or didn’t she know?
Back at TOHIMC (the only hospital in Mexico City), the homicide police arrive to arrest Mariano for Fito’s fatal (and less than spectacular) finish. Mariano’s protest falls on deaf ears cuz as these detectives know, that’s what they all say. Mariano is forced to do the perp walk while Aurora looks on.
Odiosa says Tere must be pretty proud of herself now. Of course, she has no idea what this house means to her husband, or the history behind it. She’s certain she did this only to hurt Arturo and Luisa. No, the house has many memories for Tere, too. La Odiosa Orgullosa sniffs at that remark. Oh and this is why you insist that here is where you’ll live supposedly with the man you’re going to marry and who bought it for you? No, says Teresa. The memories are of her humiliating Teresa there. She’ll be living there again, but this time as Fernando’s wife! “—We’ll see about that! Luisa may want to stay the heck away from you, but not me!" Odiosa promises her to forever be a thorn in her side! ~~~~~
=============================
Part 2.
Part 2.
Aurora wants to notify Ramon, but Mar refuses and says he’ll handle it himself from the police station. It’s obviously a mixup.
Odiosa tells Teresa that they’ll continue being enemies. Teresa says that’s her lookout cuz the more Oriana rejects her, the more distant Fernando will be towards his mother. Tere starts up the stairs and Oriana barks at her to get her son for her. Teresa looks over her shoulder at her and snarls back before strutting upstairs. “—Get him yourself!”
Aurora can’t get hold of Hector’s attorney because he’s on vacation. Juana finds her in the hall and Aurora fills her in on what’s just happened. She can’t think straight.
From the balcony of the Casota, Tere listens in as Reina informs Odiosa that Tere had her pack sonny boy’s belongings and sent him back to his apartment. No, he won’t be living there with Teresa after all. Wow! Tere smiles and then calls to leave Fernando a message that she’s going to see about the divorce papers and wants to have lunch with him—oh, and BTW, your mama stopped by looking for you. Cao! Just then a call comes in from an unknown number. It’s Juana calling from the nurse’s station at the hospital to tell her that Mariano’s been taken to jail!!! Duhn-duhn-duhnnnn!!!
Aeeeda meets Papagote for lunch at the club and demands to know what’s really going on between him and Genovenom. Sure they’ve been business partners, but what else, hmmmm????
Aurora hands over Dr. Magpie all of Mariano’s patient files. She thinks finally about who else to call for legal help.
Ruben tells Aeeeda that Gen and he were friends and have known eachother since they were a couple of kids. In the end she was the only one to hold his hand while he rotted away in jail. Before he can say more, Art walks up for Daddy’s business lunch but gets a call from Aurora telling him Mariano’s been accused of murder. Aeeeda races off to the jail despite Rubigote’s objections, to see about holding Mariano’s hand. Art excuses himself and follows her out. Things couldn’t have worked out better for Papgote. “—I hope you rot in that jail, you miserable bum!” (Now how did the cops think to look for clues at the highrise?)
At the police station, the uniforms take Mariano and put him behind bars. They tell him he’s the prime suspect and considered the guilty party until he can prove his innocence.
Back at the vecindad, Johnny complains about him and Pati being prisoners in their own home (well, in Juana’s it would appear) because of Fito. Well, says Pati, until they know he’s been nabbed, they’re safest there. Buttberto returns from his meeting with Odiosa and tells the two he’s got a regular job at one of her companies and will now be sure to be able to adopt a child. Juana walks in and overhears Buttberto say he doesn’t want Juana to find out he’s working for Oriana again.
Nando, meanwhile, gets a visit from one of his mother’s business associates who refuses, out of respect for his mother’s wishes, to do any further business with him until he reconciles with her. Duh-duhn-duhnnnn!!!
Juana complains to Buttsy about working for such a hateful woman and Teresa’s worst enemy! He won’t give up decent work, tho’ and Juana realizes there’s more urgent things to discuss: Fito’s turned up—DEAD! Yippeee!! They can all breathe easy now! Stop the celebrating, she tells them. There’s a big But: Mariano’s been accused of killing him and has been taken to jail! Oh-noes!!
Mariano goes to meet with his lawyer and who should appear? Arturo! “--You? What are you doing here?” “—Well, it might look strange, but I’m here voluntarily to help you.”
Juana warns everybody not to say a word to either Ramon or to Refugio about what’s happened to Mariano. FF>>
Arturo explains that he’s there and no longer hates Mariano because he helped him see the truth about Teresa. He refused to before thinking he was simply trying to win her back against her will. He’s paying back the favor of warning Luisa about what was going on with Fernando and Tere—if he will agree to let him represent him.
Out front in the waiting area, Aeeeda and Aurora finally arrive. Aurora is a jumble of nerves so Aeeeda asks the clerk if Mariano is still there or not.
Back in the cell area, Mar has accepted Art’s help. Art wants the truth: did he kill Fito or not? Mariano says of course not. He was a criminal and a drug dealer. He’s sure the guy had something to do with Paulo’s death. Mariano admits, though, when he began to threaten doing something to Aurora he lost it and beat him up. “—You only gave him a beating?” “—Yes. Only that, but I did tell him that if he ever touched Aurora I would kill him.” Art winces at that.
Out front in the waiting area again, Aeeeda relays to Aurora that Mariano’s there and speaking to an attorney right now. Just then Tere races in. Aeeeda and Aurora have a snitfit and ask what right she has to be there. (Uh, how about like she’s returning the favor and trying to save his life!) She says she’s there to help Mariano out. Arturo walks out and has heard Aurora’s question. He says it’s obvious that Teresa’s still in love with Mariano and surely has sneaked out behind Fernando’s back to help save “the love of her life.”
Fern is griping to Mama right now about Don Anselmo’s visit. “—How could you do that to your own son???” Oh, how nice he’s learning what it is to oppose his mama. That’s only the beginning, she warns him, if he continues with Teresa. “—Just what is Teresa doing, according to you?” Well, her strategy is clear now, says Oriana. He’s not sleeping with her, yet, is he? No, he explains, because she’s waiting till the divorce comes through so she can do things properly. “—PUH-LEESE!! When somebody truly loves another, nothing else matters! Never mind that. She’s manipulating you, this way.” He insists she doesn’t know all the facts. Mama says she knows enough. “--Think about it. Weigh what you’ll be gaining with what you’ve got to lose.” Could Mama actually be making headway?
Teresa admits that Mariano played a major role in her life at one time, and they have been friends since childhood. He’s in trouble and she’s there only to help because Juana asked her and she promised she would help him; but, she adds, she is also there for Aurora, to prove that she is still her friend. Aeeeda sniffs at that. “--You don’t have any friends! She’s got me to help!!” “—And just what do you think you could do? You never even graduated! You were too busy getting ready for your wedding with Paulo! You haven’t ever taken the Bar Exam and your stint with Papi wasn’t because you had talent, you were only working there because he was your daddy!” (Team Teresa is off the floor and on their couches, jumping up and down. You go girl!!) Viewerville again enjoys one of the few times that Aeeeda is speechless—even sweeter that it’s because of Teresa getting in her face and giving her what for and what to do with it!!
Teresa softens her tone and tells Aeeeda she can best help by sticking with Aurora because she’s not used to being in places like this. She will take care of Mariano’s defense. Art informs her that he’s already got him for his attorney. Tere’s surprised but he explains they’ve made nice-nice with each other. Aurora thanks them both and asks them both to try to free him. She knows he didn’t kill anybody and isn’t capable of such a thing! Art says, well the problem is that witnesses saw him fighting with Fito and then heard him threaten to kill him. On the other hand, Mariano’s already admitted all of that to the judge and the authorities found Mariano’s address in Fito’s clothes as well as Mariano’s blood. They’ll probably transfer him now to prison, he says.
Aurora starts to lose it. Teresa tells her gently but firmly that this isn’t the time to cry. They’ve got to keep their heads in order to help defend and free Mariano.
Meanwhile, back at the vecindad, Juana tells Refu that she owes Teresa an apology, because Buttsy himself saw Art carousing with his gal Friday.
Back in the jailhouse, Art and Tere start workiing together on Mariano’s defense. (Whoah!! Almost like old times, Sharkita lovers!) He admits to owing Mariano a favor for what he did for Luisa as the reason he’s there. He wants to know why Tere’s there. She starts to explain that it’s for Aurora and because Mariano’s always been there for her, but Art loses patience and wants something more definitive from her. “—I don’t understand you, Teresa!! You say you love me but you leave me for Fernando and then you run after Mariano helping him. I’m more disappointed by you each and every day! Here I am begging you not to get divorced, thinking there’s still something worthwhile between us to fight for, but the only thing you love is money—though that’s no longer my problem but Fernando’s.” Teresa starts to try to tell him something, but he refuses to hear it. “—No, let’s just get to work now on his defense.”
Teresa picks up the report from the file. “—They found Fito’s body day before yesterday in the drainage ditch?” Apparently so, says Art. It was wrapped up in black garbage bags. Teresa looks at the photos and suddenly realizes something is famiiar. “—Arturo!! I was right there! I recognize this place and those bags!” “—Do you know who did it?” Of course, she says! It was Genoveva and Ruben who threw him in there! I saw them!”
