Abismo de pasión #31 4/23/12: The Sleazel knows Gab is a weasel
Another tough episode. I swear I have more trouble with the funeral/mourning episodes than the death episodes.
I sort of borrowed Blue Lass' organization. Big stories first and detailed. Not so super important stuff at the end.
Oh, and who knows how this is going to look when I hit "publish" and whether I will be able to edit it or not.
Dear New Blogger,
I hate you.
Love and kisses,
me
El Refrito Compliments of Cynderella's recap
Enrique and his sister discuss the death and explosion. Enrique asks his sister to call the Arango house and ask for Florencia. His sister tells him that she is insane, but she agrees to do it. Right before she calls, Dr. Whipped walks in and she is able to make her escape. He asks his son to sit down. His father asks how he likes his job. He tells him that his mother got him the job by asking Alfonsina to hook him up. He wants to know why his father is so against his mother. He had a battle getting jobs in Guadalajara. (I don’t know the rest of what Whipped says) Whipped tells his son that he wants to get along with him and be is friend. Paolo is waiting at the bottom of the stairs as Elisa exits the house. He wants to make is move at her most vulnerable moment. He wants to accompany her to the big funeral party. He heard the party is really jumping there! She finally agrees. Nemo pulls out her dead sister’s jewelry and tries it on. We flashes back to Blanca calling her everything except a child of God. Nemo is happy that whatever Blanca discovered went with her to the grave.
Lo Nuevo
Iglesia
Horacio loiters at the church. Lola notices him and comes over. He tells her he noticed the coffin going in and was curious. He asks if Lola knew the deceased. She sings Blanca’s praises. Blanca was like part of the family; Everyone loved and respected her; she never hurt anyone; she would help anyone. Lola hugs Horacio (just as Braulio exits the church and he sees it.) Horacio says he is sorry and Lola wants to know what he’s apologizing for. He claims it’s for being rude and making her cry. Lola says it’s ok. She really needed to get everything off her chest anyway. She asks him to come into the church with her. I’m sure he tinkled in his pants a little. He asks her to forgive him, but he can’t go in. No one knows him.
Cocina Harangue-o ™
Alfabitch comes into the kitchen for a midnight snack. Tonia wasn’t able to sleep and decided peeling beans would help. Alfie wants to know if they know yet how the fire started. Tonia tells Alfie that according to the authorities it was arson. Alfie wants to know who would want to burn a second-rate business like Blanca’s. Tonia thinks it was Gabino. Alfie doesn’t think Gabino would do such a thing, and besides even if he hates Lucio, why hurt Blanca? Alfie tells Tonia it’s the authorities' business and not Tonia’s. Tonia asks if she can take the day to go to Blanca’s burial. Alfie says no and that really pithes me off! To steal from 5ft Latina: TACKY with a capital T, which rhymes with B and that stands for BEECH! (With my apologies to Meredith Wilson)
Iglesia/Cemetery
Elisa flashes back to a childhood fitting. Sad, but at least we get to see Steffie again. In the church. Ave Marias, chanting and tsuris. Oh Elisa, you are a dear…but please throw away those pirate boots. Paolo and Damian exchange stink-eyes. Dam asks Flo why Unkahunk is there. Obviously he’s escorting Elisa, she explains. Hail Holy Queen and funeral procession with a side order of macking Unkahunk and stink-eyeing Dam and Gael. Brualio does a little stink-eyeing of Lola. Boys, boys! This is a funeral! Show some respect! Rest in peace beloved Blanca.
Pro Ce Sa Do Ra ™
I really hate Gabino’s bandana hand and stupid-big ring on his pointer finger. Akshully I just hate Gabino in general. I know I should hate Horacio for what he did to Blanca but he was so upset outside the church and now he’s freaking out about the investigation into the fire. Horacio is scared of being discovered. Gabino tells him to chill. No one will connect Horacio to the fire since no clues point to him. Horacio knows that, but you never know. Gabino has to help him 'cause he's not going to jail! Gag (at first a typo, but hey, it works) manhandles Horacio and I kind of feel bad for the guy. Horacio has every right to tell Gabino that it’s Gag’s fault and if Horacio goes down, so will Gag. Gag tells him he may have told him to kill Lucio, but not Blanca. POP! Goes the Sleazel ™! (This is getting to be a fun game!) Nem-ho says she knew Gag was scum, but no idea he was a murderer. Pause for the theme song... Holy crap, Nem-ho is doing fish lips tonight which has completely distracted me so I missed most of the dialogue. Fill in please. She takes note of Horacio and thinks he's going to be the one to intercept the paternity results. Poor Horacio doesn't know what the demented cheet-ho is talking about. Gag dismisses Horacio and tries to convince Cheet-ho that she misunderstood things. Gag wants to know why she's there. She says she *was* going to offer him the love shack, but it seems that now he will be paying her to keep her fish lips shut. Gag says no way since he knows all her secrets. Cheet-ho tells him about Blanca's appointment with Assusto and Alfie. Gag thinks that's great! He didn't say a word to Blanca, but if she knew the truth about Steffie, then Cheet-ho will be blamed for Blanca's death! Fight fight fight. Rapid fire mush mouth Spanish. Tickets to New York in your name. Lie! Gab says if you get me in trouble I’m telling everyone you were Rosie’s lover. Gag throws the Cheet-ho out on her self-tan keester. Horacio returns and he's worried about loose (fish)lips. Gag tells him Hem-ho is easy enough to handle. Keep her happy and she isn't a problem and to keep her happy they need to keep the paternity messenger from making his delivery.
Ha Ci En Da
Princess Poop returns to Hacieanda Harangue-o alone. Even though she told Dam he looked tired, Dam ignored her, dropped her Poopy-butt at the door and went to do some things at the Pro Ce. She tells Alfie all about Paolo sticking to Elisa and the Gab/Lucio confrontation at the wake.
Pro Ce
Gabino fusses at a security guy about the Sleazel popping in. Security guy reminds him Dam is the primer perro now, not Gab. A phone call from Alfie interrupts them. She wants to see Gab *snap snap* immediately.
La Casa de Lucio y Blanca
Elisa takes Lucio home. She makes him promise to call if he needs anything. She leaves, he cries. Paolo is waiting hoping to take Elisa home. He says he noticed that Gael and Dam were not too keen on Paolo’s attention to her. Elisa pops his ego balloon and tells him in light of the circumstances, she doesn’t think anyone was paying attention to him.) She leaves and he smarms on her (I know this because the “Paolo is smarming” theme started to play.)
Office of the Alphabitch
Alfie asks Gag why Lucio accused him of killing Blanca. Gab tells her he has witnesses that saw him at the Pro Ce…including her own son. Alfie tells Gag about Blanca’s visit and the accusation that she had been wrong about Steffie all these years. Alfie wants to know what Gag knows. He was the one who paid the rent on the love shack; he was the one that confirmed Steffie was the other woman; He blabbed about Rosendo leaving her. Gag swears he is her most loyal servant. Alfie agrees that Gag had no reason to kill Blanca but Lucio, yes. She saw how he reacted to Dam being back in charge and wanting Lucio back. Ok, Gag says that ticked him off, but to accuse him of murder is really too much. Alfie says if she finds out he had anything to do with the death of Blanca, she will wash her hands of him. Gag whines a little more and Alfie reminds him he’s been well paid. She then throws him out of her office.
Casa del Capón
Elisa comes home and she and Assusto almost share a moment when he tells her how much it hurt when her mother died. Then he goes on with the same “she betrayed me” baloney. Elisa reminds him how Padre Lupe, Ramona and Blanca always defend Steffie. Assusto still insists Steffie betrayed him. Assusto says Blanca wanted to talk to him and Alfie before she died. Did Elisa know anything? She didn't but suggests maybe Lucio did? Assusto says he's already asked and Lucio didn't know anything. Cheet-ho eavesdrops.
Cemetery
Ramona cleans Steffie's grave and tells her not to worry about Blanca being gone. Ramona will personally take care of Elisa AND do everything in her power to bring the truth to light.
Pro Ce
Gag apologizes to Maru about overworking her and mentions hiring a secretary. Maru spills the beans to Gag about Blanca's pre-death visit. Maru finds it mighty odd that Blanca came to see him and then ended up in the cemetery. Anvils for Maru? Gag uses "tú" with Damián (who notes the use and says he doesn't care.) Gag explains he was talking to Alfie about the funeral fuss in the church and whether Gag had anything to do with it. Gag reminds Dam that he was with him when the explosion happened. Dam asks Gag if indeed the fire was set on purpose, does Gag know anything about it. Gag does seem to know most of the folks in town. Gag says after Lucio's scene everyone thinks it's him. Dam asks why Gag came to the wake. Bandanahand claims it was just a social nicety.
Harangue-o Stables
Cheet-ho asks Lola to find out info about Horacio (who Cheet-ho thinks works at the Pro-ce.) Later Lola goes to the Harangue-o to warn Horacio about Cheet-ho. While there she runs into Braulio, who tells her he wishes he had been the one to comfort her at the church. Lola warns Horacio about Alfie and Gag. Horacio has to talk fast to convince Lola he doesn't know Gag or has never met the Cheet-ho. Horacio has no idea why Cheet-ho was at the Pro Ce. Horacio pets Lola's face. Lola gives him a quick kiss good-bye (sort of on the lips?)
Other Scenes
Padre comforts Elisa. Time heals wounds and God doesn't give us more than we can take.
Irritatin Ingrid comes looking for Gag about a job. They make plans to "talk" later at the only inn in La Ermita. Gabino convinces Dam to hire a new secretary to help Maru.
Paloma fusses at Ramona for doing weird stuff like talking to Estefania's grave. (vocab: majadera-fool;idiot.)
Assusto offers to take Lola's fixin's to Don Lucio's. Elisa is so sad about Don Lucio, but wait! She has a fab idea and she's going to talk to Gael about it! (Music suggests it has to do with the Habanero fields)
Flo daydreams about her kiss from Quique when Sabrina barges in. Bro is so bummed about the kiss and feels terrible! Flo tells Sabrina to tell Bro ('cause you know, they are in Jr. High) to me her at the only inn in La Ermita at 7. Dam comes in and aks why Quique is freaking and why Flo is sneaking.
I sort of borrowed Blue Lass' organization. Big stories first and detailed. Not so super important stuff at the end.
Oh, and who knows how this is going to look when I hit "publish" and whether I will be able to edit it or not.

Una Familia Con Suerte #219-220 Mon 4/23/12 Bumbling Toward Christmas, We Might Put Our Emilia Beanies Back On
Warmed over: Ana and Freddy fight over their mutual jealousy that Julie described so well Friday. I agree with Anna that Freddy’s negation of having had sex with Cari is pretty lame. Cindy calls in tears and Chela runs off again to get to her sick baby son leaving the Lopez crew to fend for themselves for 15 minutes. IsaBella tells Pancho how nervous she is since Vice threatened her. Vice practices his threats on poor old buddy Arnold. Pancho spends too much time soothing Isa’s feelings telling her that a barking dog doesn’t bite and he knows Irabien who is a bluffer. Candi tells Rebe that she feels she should talk to Tomas. At least he believed her theory that Napoleon may be truly alive. Rebe interrupts Isabela’s platonic hand stroking and her complaint with Pancho’s defense sends our passive-aggressive auditrix out the door, someone is on to her. Chela interrupts Enzo’s very first board meeting at the new company in Monterey to tell him the baby has a fever. Wonder if the company officials are having second thoughts yet? He doesn’t exactly come from a culture where anything much gets done.
Arnold uses his wonderful bass voice to emphasize his non-gayness to an astounded Vice. Is Vice worried about having a heterosexual rival here? Vice and Arnold shove into Pancho’s room after arguing more about Arnold being gay or not, and Vice rather than being grateful that Pancho saved his sorrya$$ from jail, he berates him for abetting Isabella to find his discretions while he is entirely innocent. Moni calls the doctor while Chela lets baby Paco cry into Enzo’s worried ears. He says nothing is more important that their baby. So after, he suggests to the bored board that the board meeting start all over again.
Vice continues to act arrogantly in the face of his transgressions as Pancho reminds him that he could give up his obligations at Avon if they are too much but his wife (Candi) also knows that he (Pancho) only helped him. He also says more important, Candi is having visions of Napoleon again. Candi is beginning her talk with Tomas at the same time to discuss her so-called visions. Back and forth, Vice wants to play word games but Pancho at least cuts to the chase, what are we going to do about Candi?
Sebastian looks longingly at a picture of his son, Sebastian, as he arranges things on his new desk. The still gay human resources guy, Raimundo I think, questions him about the son and then whether he is married or not. He finds out that Sebastian is divorced so he licks his chops in thrilled anticipation glad that he has hot gossip to disburse to the staff or even better to Pina.
Baby Paco looks the picture of health as Chela tells Pepe and Moni she and baby are fine they should go home when Enzo calls ready to get on a plane from Monterey but Chela seems more sure of herself and baby’s condition has improved so she tells him to stay to try out his new job.
Raimundo goes straight to Pina to tell her about the divorce and the son of Sebastian.
Pancho and Candi discuss Napo but Sebastian comes in for introductions. Candi doesn’t flirt at all but is cordial and leaves. Sebastian wants to ask Pancho certain questions about his new post.
Freddy sees Pina and thinks she seems so happy, she plays coy about the new possibilities.
Vice acts cool and drinks all through Candi’s talk about her fears.
Ana tells Lupita she isn’t going to warm up to Freddy but she also tells about Adrian’s doubts about his daughters exposure to someone who may leave soon or not really get involved in their life. Yes, Ana we all think you should grow up for about 10 years before you plague anyone’s life especially those of tender young girls.
Tomas comes on the kissingest couple, Pepe and Moni. He thanks Pepe for his advice regarding Lupita. Vice versa, the guys have been helpful in advising each other to grow up and go for what they really want. Tomas is excited about his secret plans and cautions they must all be silent as the grave until it is time.
Pancho talks to Rebe while Sebastian waits impatiently for Pancho to finish his family business when Freddy and Pina come in and Freddy goes to greet his old friend Sebastian. Pancho and Pina look on as amazed as I am. The phone rang just then so I missed the explanation of how they are friends, anyone have gossip to add?
Vice continues to argue with Candi saying he really heard that the green grocer is having an affair with the sultry auditrix. Candi looks on in wonder, will she once again doubt her faithful bro?? After the break, Candi declares that it can’t be true, her brother is incapable of this infidelity. She accuses Vice of being annoyed because Isabella is after him for his accounting infractions. Vice takes a bit more rope around his own neck insisting that a woman as attractive as Isabella is sure to have made Pancho ready to betray Rebe or anyone else. Candi reasons if she was ugly, fat, had bad skin etc. would he still think Pancho capbable of this?
Freddy, Pina and Pancho explore how they all came together. Pina asks Sebastian to come for cena with them. Sebastian hesitates so Pancho says you should go, Pina is a great cook even better than my sister-in-law but don’t tell her. Sebastian is shy but accepts with encouragement from Freddy to spend time with them.
Rebe is in bed when Temoc runs in and declares that he had a nightmare (pesadilla) and asks can he get in bed with her to feel safe. She welcomes him warmly and Pancho finds them sleeping peacefully when he comes in much later.
Not to rest on his laurels, Napoleon along with his browed assistant Salome have rigged a holograph vision of him haunting her bedroom. How do they get access so easily. Candi wakes up Vice in hysterics with no one is there. The Nuncios truck outside must be broadcasting his menacing image as Napo and Salo laugh in the back of the truck that Candi is indeed scared pithless.
Next morning, Lupita and Ana who are sleeping or cuddling together are joined by Temoc as Tomas sings in front of the house with a serenade of Mariachis. Lupita goes to the door with all the Christmas decorated splendor and enjoys the romantic tribute. Remember when we couldn’t wait for Tomas to disappear. With his new Luke and new academy credentials, what a hotty. Anyway, Lupita’s birthday is off to an exciting start.
Chela calls Enzo to share the music and they tease that he is jealous that it might have been a serenade for her but she assures him it is Tomas and she really called him first just to tell him that baby Paco awoke all better. She is being the loving supportive wife on this venture of Enzo’s now. It shouldn’t take him as much time to decide he is missing too much happiness at home. Or maybe a few years in Monterey would be good for their little family.
Adoracion hears about the handsome Sebastian is coming for supper. Adoracion questions what his marital state is so Pina calls her Perdicion and says he is only divorced and besides she is not the type to go for married men like some people. Pina seems pretty cool about this working out or not doesn’t matter but at least he is coming to work at Avon.
Pancho notices Sebastian looking longingly at the picture of his little boy. Pancho wants him to come celebrate at his house tonight it seems it is the Virgen of Guadelupe’s holy fiest day (December 8 - 12) and her namesake, his lovely daughter Lupita’s birthday. Besides he is going to close the office at noon so they can all go to the fiesta at his house for his daughter. Panhco goes into Pina’s office to invite Pina too, they conitnue joking about making rhymes of each other names. But Pina is warming to it. Pancho says the whole world will be invited. Later as he is also inviting Isabella to his big family party for Lupita, Candi walks in, to tell Pancho what happened at this house. Isabella has to disappear before anything more suggestive happens around this invitation.
Meantime, Tomas and a crew of investigators are combing Candi ‘s bedroom looking for evidence that Napo was really there. Candi is coming unglued that she is really insane.
Part II, we pick up at the Templo de Guadalupe in Mexico City, then switch to the highly decorated party at Pancho’s with its’s own sacred altar to Guadelupe with lots of guests and food and endless music. Adrian enters with his girls who are rushed aside to play with Temoc who looks delighted with their arrival while Adrian gives Lupita a lovely necklace for her birthday.
Pina shows up with a sneer, is about to complain about the music after Pancho told her he was glad she came. She sees Isabella and her sexy soldier girls enter in stilettos but then sees Sebastian and warms up.
Tomas takes the mike and announces that he wants to ask Pancho who is like his father and Rebeca for the hand of Lupita. Pancho answers that they are so proud of him and his accomplishments and have no objection, Rebe agrees. Lupita comes up and he asks her to reach into the roses by the little altar with her mother’s picture. She finds the box and opens a ring while he kneels and asks her to marry him. Everyone claps so luckily Lupita says, wait for it…. She accepts with all her heart and he places the ring on her finger. Ana holding on to Adrian flashes back to Freddy giving her an engagement ring not all that long ago. Rebe and Pancho do really cute crying together and Isabella looks resigned to defeat on the sidelines. She is slowly getting the idea that this married man is not going to slobber all over her (except a little). Dona Fer says she has the best family in the world and Doc Oc says yes, WE have the best family in the world. Pancho takes the mike to celebrate his great luck with his beloved family and finding his true mother Dona Fer. Everyone is happy, Chela goes to find Candi who is reliving her nightmare encounter with batting at the Holo-Napo. Chela catches up with her whule Candi continues reliving scenes with the horrid Napo and the forced marriage, he is having reveries of the beautiful moments of their romantic life. When Salome comes in he says tonight we are going to leave Candi in peace and I want you to leave me alone here for now. Candi goes on telling Chela she is about to give in to the insanity of knowing whether Napo is real or is a phantasm.
Pina starts to trash talk about how lower class Pancho is to Sebastian who cleverly slides the conversation away from gossip. Pina and Sebastian continue to talk about each other when Pina asks how long have you been divorced. Who told you I was? A little bird she demures. So Raimundo is your good friend then? So he finally answers her that he has been divorced one year. The why is because he came home to find his wife in bed with his best friend. Pina is speechless for the moment.
Candi seems disappointed that Vice isn’t at her side in her moment of fear but at least Enzo flies in from Monterey to give Chela a big kiss. As Enzo and Rebe go off to greet Pancho, Candi tells Chela she really hit the matrimonial lottery prize. Rebe goes in to the dance floor followed by Enzo just when Pancho has dipped the sultry auditrix to the ground and they look ready to cobsummate the kiss from last week. Steam comes out of her ears and instead of confronting them, she runs off and Jimena grabs Enzo to dance so the sexy ones are all dancing with the married men when Chela comes in to ask Rebe why she is in tears again. Rebe complains that Isabella is seducing Pancho in her own house. Candi is remembering that Vice told her of the affair between Isabella and Pancho. Just then Pancho shows up to talk with Rebe and asks Chela, Candi and Rebe if they think him capable of betraying his wife. He gets a chorus of YES!! Chela and Candi get out but not in time to see Jimena putting the moves on Enzo and disregarding Isa’s advise that she is fooling with a married man. Jimena doesn’t care and keeps dancing until Enzo extricates himself. Isa and Jimena don’t seem like the capable auditors of a few days ago.
Pina and Sebastian decide they have had a lovely talk and enough for the first one. Sebastian rather thinks it is enough.
Rebe cries about being a fat dog again since Pancho was dancing with another woman and almost kissing her on the floor. Pancho tells Rebe he loves her more than anyone else in the world, then offers to make a confession if she won’t be upset. Our loving idiot then proceeds to tell her that he does like Isa. Oops, thanks Vivi, he did say Isabella me gusta which does mean SHE LIKES ME, not I LIKE HER. It was still idiotic so I am leaving it as is with this note.
Into the home stretch: Rebe, can’t believe it and screams that she doesn’t see why he was dancing with her. She will leave the company soon, her work is done is his lame excuse for inviting her. Then, she was in a corner all sad and alone he protests, so he had to dance with her. He continues that she is the love of his life, the woman of his dreams. Rebe’s solution is that she will return to the office to work tomorrow. Not a bad idea, Rebe.
Adoracion is questioning Freddy about Sebastian and imagining all kinds of wonderful things about him. Freddy admits that he doesn’t really know him well. Adoracion teases him a little about Ana Lopez. What a romantic is our Ado.
Chela and Enzo kiss, Enzo yawns, Chela gets up saying she will be right back.
Pina finally comes in and feigns indifference to her time at the party, kind of disappointing Adoracion. She admits to Nene when they are alone, that she met a GREAT man, when he opens his eyes wide in surprise, she adds, but nothing happened between us.
Candi gets home where Vice is solicitous and promises to go with her to the psychiatrist tomorrow. He promises to be at her side and care for her.
Chela comes back in like a chorus girl in sexy negligee to find Enzo deeply sunk into his pillow. She is so understanding that he is exhausted. Ahhhh at least one love is going on between adults here.
Candi swears she cannot sleep so Vice promises to keep his eyes propped open wide all night long so she can rest. He promises that he will be a good husband and never leave her.
Rebe’s turn to have a nightmare. She meets in the desert of Nevada in a western shoot out at noon with Isabella. They shoot slow moving bullets at each other and Rebe discovers she has a big blood spot on her chest and Isa is cooling off her gun with a blow. Rebe wakes screaming about Isa shooting her but Pancho lulls her back to sleep. Next morning Rebe eats in Pancho’s office. Sebastian comes in with paperwork and wants to talk to Pancho alone. Pancho uses the time to ask Sebe if he had a good time last night with Pina. He begins to talk about how sensitive the markets are when Pancho steers it back to Pina. Sebe says he can’t get over the betrayal by his best friend so still has fears of getting involved romantically.
Tomas hears from the crime lab that they found fingerprints not belonging to Vice or Candi in the bedroom and they can trace back to Napo’s records to see if they fit him.
Napo threatens Salo when she suggests how to continue with the Candi torture. He seems to be having second thoughts about how to proceed.
Rebe runs into Isabella on her way out and Isa sidles up to say she doesn’t want Rebe to worry about what she saw last night, it was nothing. Rebe says I know, things are perfect between Pancho and I couldn’t be better. So Isa says well is there something I can do for you? Yes, says assertive Rebe, you can stay away from my husband for ever! Henriqueta emphasizes complete agreement over at her desk.
Next episodes: Vice gets suggestive pictures printed in the newspaper of Pancho and Isa on the floor in the factory. Napo hold a gun to Candi’s head, we’re on a roll folks…
Arnold uses his wonderful bass voice to emphasize his non-gayness to an astounded Vice. Is Vice worried about having a heterosexual rival here? Vice and Arnold shove into Pancho’s room after arguing more about Arnold being gay or not, and Vice rather than being grateful that Pancho saved his sorrya$$ from jail, he berates him for abetting Isabella to find his discretions while he is entirely innocent. Moni calls the doctor while Chela lets baby Paco cry into Enzo’s worried ears. He says nothing is more important that their baby. So after, he suggests to the bored board that the board meeting start all over again.
Vice continues to act arrogantly in the face of his transgressions as Pancho reminds him that he could give up his obligations at Avon if they are too much but his wife (Candi) also knows that he (Pancho) only helped him. He also says more important, Candi is having visions of Napoleon again. Candi is beginning her talk with Tomas at the same time to discuss her so-called visions. Back and forth, Vice wants to play word games but Pancho at least cuts to the chase, what are we going to do about Candi?
Sebastian looks longingly at a picture of his son, Sebastian, as he arranges things on his new desk. The still gay human resources guy, Raimundo I think, questions him about the son and then whether he is married or not. He finds out that Sebastian is divorced so he licks his chops in thrilled anticipation glad that he has hot gossip to disburse to the staff or even better to Pina.
Baby Paco looks the picture of health as Chela tells Pepe and Moni she and baby are fine they should go home when Enzo calls ready to get on a plane from Monterey but Chela seems more sure of herself and baby’s condition has improved so she tells him to stay to try out his new job.
Raimundo goes straight to Pina to tell her about the divorce and the son of Sebastian.
Pancho and Candi discuss Napo but Sebastian comes in for introductions. Candi doesn’t flirt at all but is cordial and leaves. Sebastian wants to ask Pancho certain questions about his new post.
Freddy sees Pina and thinks she seems so happy, she plays coy about the new possibilities.
Vice acts cool and drinks all through Candi’s talk about her fears.
Ana tells Lupita she isn’t going to warm up to Freddy but she also tells about Adrian’s doubts about his daughters exposure to someone who may leave soon or not really get involved in their life. Yes, Ana we all think you should grow up for about 10 years before you plague anyone’s life especially those of tender young girls.
Tomas comes on the kissingest couple, Pepe and Moni. He thanks Pepe for his advice regarding Lupita. Vice versa, the guys have been helpful in advising each other to grow up and go for what they really want. Tomas is excited about his secret plans and cautions they must all be silent as the grave until it is time.
Pancho talks to Rebe while Sebastian waits impatiently for Pancho to finish his family business when Freddy and Pina come in and Freddy goes to greet his old friend Sebastian. Pancho and Pina look on as amazed as I am. The phone rang just then so I missed the explanation of how they are friends, anyone have gossip to add?
Vice continues to argue with Candi saying he really heard that the green grocer is having an affair with the sultry auditrix. Candi looks on in wonder, will she once again doubt her faithful bro?? After the break, Candi declares that it can’t be true, her brother is incapable of this infidelity. She accuses Vice of being annoyed because Isabella is after him for his accounting infractions. Vice takes a bit more rope around his own neck insisting that a woman as attractive as Isabella is sure to have made Pancho ready to betray Rebe or anyone else. Candi reasons if she was ugly, fat, had bad skin etc. would he still think Pancho capbable of this?
Freddy, Pina and Pancho explore how they all came together. Pina asks Sebastian to come for cena with them. Sebastian hesitates so Pancho says you should go, Pina is a great cook even better than my sister-in-law but don’t tell her. Sebastian is shy but accepts with encouragement from Freddy to spend time with them.
Rebe is in bed when Temoc runs in and declares that he had a nightmare (pesadilla) and asks can he get in bed with her to feel safe. She welcomes him warmly and Pancho finds them sleeping peacefully when he comes in much later.
Not to rest on his laurels, Napoleon along with his browed assistant Salome have rigged a holograph vision of him haunting her bedroom. How do they get access so easily. Candi wakes up Vice in hysterics with no one is there. The Nuncios truck outside must be broadcasting his menacing image as Napo and Salo laugh in the back of the truck that Candi is indeed scared pithless.
Next morning, Lupita and Ana who are sleeping or cuddling together are joined by Temoc as Tomas sings in front of the house with a serenade of Mariachis. Lupita goes to the door with all the Christmas decorated splendor and enjoys the romantic tribute. Remember when we couldn’t wait for Tomas to disappear. With his new Luke and new academy credentials, what a hotty. Anyway, Lupita’s birthday is off to an exciting start.
Chela calls Enzo to share the music and they tease that he is jealous that it might have been a serenade for her but she assures him it is Tomas and she really called him first just to tell him that baby Paco awoke all better. She is being the loving supportive wife on this venture of Enzo’s now. It shouldn’t take him as much time to decide he is missing too much happiness at home. Or maybe a few years in Monterey would be good for their little family.
Adoracion hears about the handsome Sebastian is coming for supper. Adoracion questions what his marital state is so Pina calls her Perdicion and says he is only divorced and besides she is not the type to go for married men like some people. Pina seems pretty cool about this working out or not doesn’t matter but at least he is coming to work at Avon.
Pancho notices Sebastian looking longingly at the picture of his little boy. Pancho wants him to come celebrate at his house tonight it seems it is the Virgen of Guadelupe’s holy fiest day (December 8 - 12) and her namesake, his lovely daughter Lupita’s birthday. Besides he is going to close the office at noon so they can all go to the fiesta at his house for his daughter. Panhco goes into Pina’s office to invite Pina too, they conitnue joking about making rhymes of each other names. But Pina is warming to it. Pancho says the whole world will be invited. Later as he is also inviting Isabella to his big family party for Lupita, Candi walks in, to tell Pancho what happened at this house. Isabella has to disappear before anything more suggestive happens around this invitation.
Meantime, Tomas and a crew of investigators are combing Candi ‘s bedroom looking for evidence that Napo was really there. Candi is coming unglued that she is really insane.
Part II, we pick up at the Templo de Guadalupe in Mexico City, then switch to the highly decorated party at Pancho’s with its’s own sacred altar to Guadelupe with lots of guests and food and endless music. Adrian enters with his girls who are rushed aside to play with Temoc who looks delighted with their arrival while Adrian gives Lupita a lovely necklace for her birthday.
Pina shows up with a sneer, is about to complain about the music after Pancho told her he was glad she came. She sees Isabella and her sexy soldier girls enter in stilettos but then sees Sebastian and warms up.
Tomas takes the mike and announces that he wants to ask Pancho who is like his father and Rebeca for the hand of Lupita. Pancho answers that they are so proud of him and his accomplishments and have no objection, Rebe agrees. Lupita comes up and he asks her to reach into the roses by the little altar with her mother’s picture. She finds the box and opens a ring while he kneels and asks her to marry him. Everyone claps so luckily Lupita says, wait for it…. She accepts with all her heart and he places the ring on her finger. Ana holding on to Adrian flashes back to Freddy giving her an engagement ring not all that long ago. Rebe and Pancho do really cute crying together and Isabella looks resigned to defeat on the sidelines. She is slowly getting the idea that this married man is not going to slobber all over her (except a little). Dona Fer says she has the best family in the world and Doc Oc says yes, WE have the best family in the world. Pancho takes the mike to celebrate his great luck with his beloved family and finding his true mother Dona Fer. Everyone is happy, Chela goes to find Candi who is reliving her nightmare encounter with batting at the Holo-Napo. Chela catches up with her whule Candi continues reliving scenes with the horrid Napo and the forced marriage, he is having reveries of the beautiful moments of their romantic life. When Salome comes in he says tonight we are going to leave Candi in peace and I want you to leave me alone here for now. Candi goes on telling Chela she is about to give in to the insanity of knowing whether Napo is real or is a phantasm.
Pina starts to trash talk about how lower class Pancho is to Sebastian who cleverly slides the conversation away from gossip. Pina and Sebastian continue to talk about each other when Pina asks how long have you been divorced. Who told you I was? A little bird she demures. So Raimundo is your good friend then? So he finally answers her that he has been divorced one year. The why is because he came home to find his wife in bed with his best friend. Pina is speechless for the moment.
Candi seems disappointed that Vice isn’t at her side in her moment of fear but at least Enzo flies in from Monterey to give Chela a big kiss. As Enzo and Rebe go off to greet Pancho, Candi tells Chela she really hit the matrimonial lottery prize. Rebe goes in to the dance floor followed by Enzo just when Pancho has dipped the sultry auditrix to the ground and they look ready to cobsummate the kiss from last week. Steam comes out of her ears and instead of confronting them, she runs off and Jimena grabs Enzo to dance so the sexy ones are all dancing with the married men when Chela comes in to ask Rebe why she is in tears again. Rebe complains that Isabella is seducing Pancho in her own house. Candi is remembering that Vice told her of the affair between Isabella and Pancho. Just then Pancho shows up to talk with Rebe and asks Chela, Candi and Rebe if they think him capable of betraying his wife. He gets a chorus of YES!! Chela and Candi get out but not in time to see Jimena putting the moves on Enzo and disregarding Isa’s advise that she is fooling with a married man. Jimena doesn’t care and keeps dancing until Enzo extricates himself. Isa and Jimena don’t seem like the capable auditors of a few days ago.

Doris is talking to Pigorio after their night of Amor (this recapper and the audience are trying not to hurl here) and she wants to come back to El Alcatrash. Pigorio tells her to come back with him but the condition is she is not to be near Tonio and don't provoke Pigorio again. She tells him of course Mi Amor.

Mariana wants him to have another opportunity at love. She tells him he is still young. He tells her Maria was the love of his life. Mariana wonders if she was in love with Pedro? Manuel says if you remember then maybe if you were you could recapture that love. Mariana wonders if Pedro tried to kill her so he could be with Cameela? She wants to go see Tonio to find out more. Manuel says he is going to the hospital and to be careful.
Pigorio and Doris make a grand entrance back at Alcatrash and run into Tonio. He wants to know what she is doing back there? Pigorio tells Tonio that she is there because Pigorio wants her there. Tonio is way pithed off. Tonio asks Doris if she has something going on with Pigorio? She basically tells him none of your business. Tonio asks her if she wants money. She doesn't answer but gets in his face. Tonio ends up leaving the room.
Cameela and Sarita are worried cause they can't find Gabe. They think he went off to Alcatrash to confront Pigorio.
Pigorio wants Panchito to continue to spy at El Tal and to find out anything he can about the where abouts of Mariana. Panchito wants to know why? Pigoroio tells Panchito that he could end up in jail unless Panchito finds this info for him. Pigorio kind of tells Pancho what happened and Panchito is very upset. Pigorio reiterates he doesn't want to go to the carcel.
Pedro goes to the orphanage looking for Gabe. He finds a kid sleeping on that pile of blankets that were there last time he was there. The kid wakes up and tries to make a run for it, but Pedro catches him up and asks him what he is doing there. The kid struggles and is afraid Pedro will call the police on him, but Pedro tells the kid to calm down, he is not calling the police. The kid breaks free and runs around the corner but peeks out to see what Pedro will do. Pedro tells the kid I want to help you, cause I was once like you as a kid on the street. The kid tells Pedro his name is Santiago. He asks Santiago if he has seen Gabe. Santiago tells him no. Pedro thought bubbles that Gabe probably went to Alcatrash. Pedro tells Santiago he will come back later and bring some food. Santiago is very excited about that. He wants donuts (I think) with chocolate.

Flor and Fabi are talking and Flor says she misses Claudio and is still grieving over him. Fabi feels very bad for Flor.

Geno and Tomas go over and he says he is very upset that Claudio is dead. Geno says the police will get who did this to Tia Patty and Claudio.

She asks if Cameela is as bad as Pedro, Tonio tells her no, Cameela is very sweet. Flor and Fabi are coming down the hall, so to avoid them Tonio has taken her around the corner. They are about to exit, when here comes Lucrazy. She recognizes Mariana too and asks her what she is doing there? She can't beleive she is there.
Flor and Fabi go to the kitchen and are talking with Tracy and Nana about Claudio when Pigorio comes in. Flor had been saying something about Pigorio wanting to harm Claudio, Pigorio has a fit. He asks her what she is talking about and she practically accuses him of killing Claudio. Pedro is coming behind Pigorio while Pigorio is raising his arm to hit Flor. He makes Pigorio stop and and Pigorio tells everyone to largate already. They all leave and Pedro accuses him of killing Tia Patty and Claudio and then he hits Pigorio. Pedro has knocked him into the wall,and Pigorio threatens him and tells him to largate too.
Mariana in the hallway has heard Pedro come in but not the argument and Lucrazy wants to know if this is why she came to El Alcatrash? Lucrazy tells her Pedro is going to marry Cameela. Mariana says oh, I guess Pedro doesn't love me. Lucrazy and Tonio tag team her with their craziness and tell her Pedro is very bad. He was going to marry Lucrazy too, but she was dumped for Cameela. Tonio tells her that Pigorio and Don Bernardo were great friends and that Don Bernardo owned El Talisman and Mariana was his daughter. He says Pedro is a very bad man and only married Mariana for El Talisman and the money. Tonio tells her the rumor is that Don Bernardo died of cancer, but the truth is they think Pedro killed him. Mariana is very upset. Lucrazy and Tonio are backing each other up here and Mariana has tears in her eyes. She hears Pigorio and wants to talk to him, but Tonio puts a hand over her mouth so she can't speak and keeps her quiet until Pigorio has passed into his office. They tell her to be quiet. After Pigorio goes into his office they release Mariana and she says her life must have been very complicated. Tonio tells her that Pedro is a very bad man and to stay away from him.

Cameela has called Tracy at El Alcatrash to see if Gabe is there. Tracy says no. Sarita is very worried. Tracy has come over to El Tal to see Cameela and Cameela tells her they are looking for Gabe and Pedro. Gabe comes in the room and they are happy to see him, but ask about Pedro. Pedro comes in the room and says he went to El Alcatrash and Cameela tells him never to go back there. She is afraid something will happen to him. Tracy leaves.
Pigorio and Valentin take another meeting. He tells Valentin that Pedro accused him of killing Tia Patty and Claudio. He doesn't want to go to the carcel. He tells Valentin he better find Mariana.
Fabi and Flor go to school. They are still talking about Claudio.
Army and Angel have also gone to school where Army is waiting for Fabi. Angel tells him to chill out, alot has gone on and she'll get there when she gets there. Army tells Angel he is very in love with Fabi and is so sorry about the Jose/Flor thing. Fabi comes up and greets Army and Angel and tells them Flor is greiving.
Rennie and Rita are talking about the money again. They can't wait to get all that money from Pigorio. He tells her that when he marries Rita she will never want for anything. He tells Rita I think that he is divorcing El Viral.
El Viral is at the hospital not as a patient this time, but she is on another tear. Her high pitched voice is giving Maria's poor receptionist a hard time. El Viral wants to see Maria like yesterday. The receptionist tells her Maria is busy, and does she have an appointment? He voice goes up another screaming notch and says I don't need no appointment, I'm her sister and I am damn well going in. She stomps right into Maria's office and Maria says look I'm working what do you want? She says I came cause I'm mad as hell cause Rennie is divorcing me, I want to divorce him. Maria doesn't see a problem with that. El Viral is so mad I swear her headband was expanding from all the steam in her head.

She asks if Cameela is as bad as Pedro, Tonio tells her no, Cameela is very sweet. Flor and Fabi are coming down the hall, so to avoid them Tonio has taken her around the corner. They are about to exit, when here comes Lucrazy. She recognizes Mariana too and asks her what she is doing there? She can't beleive she is there.
Flor and Fabi go to the kitchen and are talking with Tracy and Nana about Claudio when Pigorio comes in. Flor had been saying something about Pigorio wanting to harm Claudio, Pigorio has a fit. He asks her what she is talking about and she practically accuses him of killing Claudio. Pedro is coming behind Pigorio while Pigorio is raising his arm to hit Flor. He makes Pigorio stop and and Pigorio tells everyone to largate already. They all leave and Pedro accuses him of killing Tia Patty and Claudio and then he hits Pigorio. Pedro has knocked him into the wall,and Pigorio threatens him and tells him to largate too.
Mariana in the hallway has heard Pedro come in but not the argument and Lucrazy wants to know if this is why she came to El Alcatrash? Lucrazy tells her Pedro is going to marry Cameela. Mariana says oh, I guess Pedro doesn't love me. Lucrazy and Tonio tag team her with their craziness and tell her Pedro is very bad. He was going to marry Lucrazy too, but she was dumped for Cameela. Tonio tells her that Pigorio and Don Bernardo were great friends and that Don Bernardo owned El Talisman and Mariana was his daughter. He says Pedro is a very bad man and only married Mariana for El Talisman and the money. Tonio tells her the rumor is that Don Bernardo died of cancer, but the truth is they think Pedro killed him. Mariana is very upset. Lucrazy and Tonio are backing each other up here and Mariana has tears in her eyes. She hears Pigorio and wants to talk to him, but Tonio puts a hand over her mouth so she can't speak and keeps her quiet until Pigorio has passed into his office. They tell her to be quiet. After Pigorio goes into his office they release Mariana and she says her life must have been very complicated. Tonio tells her that Pedro is a very bad man and to stay away from him. He escorts her to the door and she leaves.
Cameela has called Tracy at El Alcatrash to see if Gabe is there. Tracy says no. Sarita is very worried. Tracy has come over to El Tal to see Cameela and Cameela tells her they are looking for Gabe and Pedro. Gabe comes in the room and they are happy to see him, but ask about Pedro. Pedro comes in the room and says he went to El Alcatrash and Cameela tells him never to go back there. She is afraid something will happen to him. Tracy leaves.
Pigorio and Valentin take another meeting. He tells Valentin that Pedro accused him of killing Tia Patty and Claudio. He doesn't want to go to the carcel. He tells Valentin he better find Mariana.
Fabi and Flor go to school. They are still talking about Claudio.
Army and Angel have also gone to school where Army is waiting for Fabi. Angel tells him to chill out, alot has gone on and she'll get there when she gets there. Army tells Angel he is very in love with Fabi and is so sorry about the Jose/Flor thing. Fabi comes up and greets Army and Angel and tells them Flor is greiving.
Rennie and Rita are talking about the money again. They can't wait to get all that money from Pigorio. He tells her that when he marries Rita she will never want for anything. He tells Rita I think that he is divorcing El Viral.
El Viral is at the hospital not as a patient this time, but she is on another tear. Her high pitched voice is giving Maria's poor receptionist a hard time. El Viral wants to see Maria like yesterday. The receptionist tells her Maria is busy, and does she have an appointment? He voice goes up another screaming notch and says I don't need no appointment, I'm her sister and I am damn well going in. She stomps right into Maria's office and Maria says look I'm working what do you want? She says I came cause I'm mad as hell cause Rennie is divorcing me, I want to divorce him. Maria doesn't see a problem with that. El Viral is so mad I swear her headband was expanding from all the steam in her head.
Advances:
Pedro gives Cameela an engagement ring.
Tonio and Lucrazy plot and plan.

Una Familia Con Suerte #217-218 Fri 4/20/12 Dead Men Don't Bleed
Part One: Vice Freezes His Assets Off in Jail
Vice tries to book a flight to Mérida.
Pina is delirious. Fred appears. There's angel music. Is Fred real, or is Pina fading away?
Sandrucha is stunned but pleased by Chacho's offer to father a child with her.
Apparently, Fred is real. He explains how he got lost - he got distracted by something even prettier than Sergio. (Pina's sorry she didn't help, but she had an anxiety attack and fainted in the water.) Sergio found him somehow and shared his oxygen. Pina is starry-eyed and grateful to him for saving the life of her reason for living. Sergio is gracious but unassuming.
Karina squeals with joy to see Fred. Fred is not as annoyed by this as I would like. Sergio slips away discreetly.
Vice tells Candy he went to the airport but didn't have to get a flight because Fred called to say he was alive. He notices that Candy seems out of sorts. She admits to feeling tired but doesn't explain why.
Fred thinks Sergio seemed oddly serious and subdued. Pina wants to find him to thank him again. Karina teases Pina for the way she goggled at Sergio when they first met. Fred is amused. Pina, not so much.
Alone at a bar, Sergio ignores a pretty girl and flashes back to his first meeting with Pina, when she refused his offer of a piece of quartz.
Lupita wants to go to Tom's graduation.
Adrian tells Ana he can tell she still has feelings for Fred, so he's gonna take off. (Duh? Why now?) Ana tells Rebe she can't decide between Fred and Adrian, so she'd like to put the question on Twitter. That way a bunch of idiots she doesn't know can weigh in on this life-altering decision.
At home, Candy is dizzy from the meds and calls Chela to tell her she feels crappy. Napoleon casually enters the apartment. "He's right in front of me! NAPOLEON!"
Pancho to Isa (he no longer calls her "Bella" because Rebe doesn't like that): "I don't want to be disrespectful... but do you like me?" Isabella is mortified and offended. "I thought you'd be different! I thought we could have a professional relationship," she insists. (Who does she think she's fooling?) He admits he "felt things" when they were touring the warehouse. She denies that he should have felt anything. He apologizes and offers to take her out for a coffee. She ignores the apology and says this had better not happen again.
Isabella stomps out. Pancho isn't totally convinced that she meant what she said.
Sneaky Salome prepares to approach Vice in the parking garage, but then hides when several police cars screech in. She watches as Vice is apprehended. He resists arrest. They cuff him, but he still makes them chase him around the car.
Chela worries about Candy going quiet on phone. She calls back, but Nap makes Candy turn off the phone.
Candy: I never loved you, what do you want? You forced me to marry you.
Nap: No one can love you like I do.
Candy: Why don't you go where all the dead people go? To hell! Leave me alone!
Nap says she has to pay for what she did to him. She hits him. Scratches. Blood. "Blood? Dead men don't bleed!"
Isa and Jimena debate what to do about the man of Isa's dreams. She doesn't want to admit to him that she likes him. She doesn't want to break up a marriage. Jimena suggests that they focus on getting their work done and leave ASAP. (What would happen to the telenovela genre if more people did that?)
Candy: You're alive!
Nap: No I'm not; you saw me in the morgue not breathing. I was dead.
Candy knows he could have used his money to fake his death. Candy offers to re-kill him (with a lamp!) just to make sure. He takes out a gun and tells her to put down the lamp. He says it doesn't matter; no one will believe her. "If you tell anyone I'm alive, they'll die laughing." He leaves.
Pancho and family gather outside the house. Clean-shaven Pepe flips a switch, and the whole properly is lit up like one of those houses you see on the news where all the neighbors complain about the eyesore and the traffic. Rebe is dressed like a very thin (though pregnant) Mrs. Claus. Group hug!
Frida feels sorry for herself at home in her little shack. Why can't she enjoy this time of year that everyone else loves? (I blame that tiny Christmas tree with the seizure-inducing rapid-flashing lights.) Gramps, why aren't you here? Why aren't you here, Dartañán? Boo hoo hoo.
Enzo and Chela get Candy's place. "Dead men don't bleed," she tells them. Chela thinks the meds are making her worse. Candy shows them her hands and insists she's not loca. Enzo argues in spite of the evidence. Candy protests: yes, she saw him dead; but now she's seem him alive. The guy had plenty of money. He could have pulled it off. But she just sounds hysterical to them.
Salome tends to Nap's wounds. He was surprised by Candy's reaction and he pulled his gun. Sally says there can't be any doubt in Candy's mind now that he's alive, but Nap is sure no one will believe her.
At the police station, Vice wants his phone call. I think that guy who runs the police station has new glasses. They uncuff Vice and warn him to to run his sarcastic mouth or they'll have to put him in a cell. Eventually he gets to make his call.
Rebe tells Pancho of Ana's great dilemma. Vice calls to tell him about being in jail. (I guess with Pina and Fred out of town, Pancho's all he has left!) Vice accuses Pancho of conspiring with Isabella to get him thrown in jail. "You'll be sorry," he threatens unconvincingly. He complains to the jailer again. The jailer jokingly offers Vice a cell with an ocean view.
Pancho tells Rebe that Isa had warned about this. She is very sarcastic with him for choosing to protect Bella's job rather than warning Vice.
Ana rehashes Fred vs. Adrian with Lupita. Pollis calls. He tells Ana that when he was running out of air and thought he was gonna die, he thought about her. What frightened him the most was that he might never see her again.
Pancho tells Candy that Vice is in jail for tax evasion. Candy thinks Isabella did this. Pancho explains that Vice failed to report a bunch of taxable income. Candy wants to see him immediately. They don't think she's in any "condition" to go out alone this late, but Candy isn't willing to leave Vice alone in jail, so Enzo agrees to take her.
Arnold and Bárbara are out drinking tea. A tells B all about all his crushes, including Ana. Barb remarks that he seems to like Vice's women (Pina, Rebeca, Candy). Arnold says it's just a coincidence. Barb says it'd be a coincidence only if Vice were not also his best friend. Arnold says he doesn't exactly admire Vice and the way he treats women. Barb observes that Vice wrecks them and Arnold fixes them up. She suggests that he take an interest in some woman who hasn't been with Vice. "Like who?" clueless Arnold asks. "You tell me," she replies coyly.
At jail, Candy and an increasingly giddy Vice argue whether this was Pancho's fault or not. Vice is happy to see Enzo. But they can't do anything for Vice at this hour. He can't leave until he pays his fine, and the banks aren't open till morning. The jailer wants to go home too, and have his hot chocolate and cookies. More arguing about Pancho (and Chela, I don't even know why Vice mentions her). Vice wants to prove that Pancho and Isabella are having a thing and conspiring against him. Enzo says he sounds hysterical. (Someone needs to explain to Enzo that telling people they're hysterical doesn't calm them down.)
Sergio is at Pina's bedside again. She remembers being rescued by him when she fainted into the water. Now he's standing over her bed, saying she's hermosa. He just came by to see how she's doing. She doesn't know his last name or where he lives. He says it's better that way. Take care!
Mendoza goes to the jail. Pancho is going to pay Vice's very large fine. But the authorities are going to freeze Vice's assets.
Candy angrily confronts Pancho over the alleged conspiracy with Isabella. Moody Rebeca actually buys the story. Pancho says he had nothing to do with it. He would never do something so low and they don't know him very well if they think he could. He storms out. Rebeca cries.
Part Two: Bravo! BRAVO!!!
Enzo prepares for his trip to Monterrey. He'll only be gone two nights, but he's going to see Pancho first. He and Chela worry about Candy.
Lupe gets the green light from Doc Oc to go to Tom's graduation.
Ana phones Adrian. His kids are excited about the call. He steps away from the table to tell Ana he made a mistake involving the girls. They'll be so disappointed if things don't work out. He needs to think of them; they're a part of him. So Ana would be having a relationship not just with him, but all three.
Pina tells Fred and Karina that Sergio came to see her this morning. Or did he? She's not sure whether it was a dream or for real. She can't wait to go home.
At the office, Isabella and Enzo both need to talk to Pancho. Enzo gets to go first. Isa hangs around outside the door until Enriqueta coldly asks if she's okay. Isa takes off.
Enzo and Pancho rehash about last night. Then Enzo gives Pancho a folder with Enzo's recommendation for his replacement. We don't get to see who it is - but from the look on Pancho's face, it's someone interesting!
Moni picks up Frida for her physical therapy. Frida would rather take the bus. Moni is shocked by the shabby living conditions. (It must be cold in there, too, because Frida's always wearing her coat.) "Aquí nos tocó vivir," Frida says ("we were fated to live here"). "Oh, Cristina Pacheco," Moni replies. (Pacheco hosts a long-running TV show called "Aquí Nos Tocó Vivir." Frida doesn't get the reference. "Forget it," Moni says.) Moni feels guilty - not because Pepe prefers her, but because she has everything and Frida has nothing. But Moni wasn't born in a golden cradle - her mother didn't want her, and her father washed cars and he worked hard. Surprisingly, Frida agrees to let Moni take her to PT and tell her the rest of Enzo's story on their way.
Ana rehashes her problem with Pepe. Oh, the difficulty of choosing between two guapos who want nothing more than to make her happy. Fred's insecure, and Adrian is a three-for-one deal. She's not sure she's ready for that responsibility.
Candy tells Rebeca about making Napoleón bleed. (Rebe seems a little more receptive than Enzo and Chela were.) Vice calls from Avon - he had to spend the night at the jail, but he's out now. Pancho paid his fine.This upsets both Candy and Rebe - it will cause a scandal and make them all look bad. Medication-woozy Candy and hormone-ravaged Rebeca are now weepily ashamed of themselves for having thought the worst of Pancho. (Thanks, Vivi, for the correction!)
Pina, Fred, and Karina are at home. Apparently, no one told Ado they were coming, but she's happy to see them.
Tom graduates from the Police Academy. The head of the school singles out Tom for an effusive congratulatory speech for graduating in record time with the highest marks.
Pina goes to the office and tells Raimundo about Sergio the angel. Then Jorge Aravena shows up. Siiiigh. Raimundo beams at him. Pina gapes and drops her book. The mystery man picks it up for her and introduces himself as Sebastián Bravo. He's looking for Pancho. Raimundo offers to take him; Bravo says it would improper to leave the lady all by herself! Unfortunately, Pina snaps out of it and starts grilling the guy on why he wants to see Pancho. He's interviewing for Enzo's job as Director of Finance. He wasn't actually planning to take it, but now that he's met her, he'll let Mr. Lopez decide!
At the police academy, Candy still feels lousy on her meds. She tells Pancho and Lupe and Tomás about scratching Napoleón. Tom seems to take her seriously, but she starts getting loud and Rebeca and Lupita want to take her home to "rest." "He's alive," Candy declares, and stalks off. Rebe follows. Pancho is really worried. Only Tom finds her theory credible. Tom thanks Pancho again for supporting him like a father.
Isabella really wants to clear up her "misunderstanding" with Pancho. Jimena advises against it, since they both know that there was NO misunderstanding at all... she likes him. Why is she always falling in love with guys five minutes after she meets them?
Before this inane conversation tortures us any further, angry Vice bursts in with baseless complaints about the night he spent at the police station. He says she'd better not mess with him and asks why she picked on him. She didn't pick on him, she just did her job. Lambi had to spend a night in jail too and he paid his debts and fines, as should Vice. Vice says he won't pay a thing. In that case, Isa says, nothing will save him. His debts far exceed those of any other executive in the company. He owes millions of pesos, and if he doesn't pay, not only will he have to go to jail, they'll seize all of his assets. Vice vows to drive her out of the place.
"I told you so," Pepe tells Mónica. She still can't believe the miserable way Frida lives. Their little love nest was palatial by comparison.
Pancho is finally back from Tom's graduation and meets with Bravo. (There was a mixup, Enzo thought Bravo would be coming over in the evening instead of during the day.) Pancho says they can offer him a good salary. Bravo met Enzo years ago in school.
Pancho inquires as to Bravo's marital status (I don't think that's legal in the US). Bravo says he's divorced. Ominous music plays.
Recently divorced Pina is telling Raimundo that they doesn't even know if the guy is married - they just met. She pretends not to care. There are plenty of good-looking men in the world, but that doesn't mean she has to go chasing after them. But then she gives in and admits that she really likes him. Raimundo offers to find out if the man is available.
Fred approaches Ana. She asks if he's okay after being without air. (What? Fred doesn't need no stinkin' air!) The doctors checked him out and he's fine. Ana is cold to him and asks didn't he have Corny-locks with him? He explains that his mother set that up. Ana says she feels something for Adrian, and they kissed yesterday. And if Fred's jealous about it that's just too bad, because he kissed Karina first, and he didn't call her for months, and then he went on a vacation while she was having an operation. And knowing Karina, it's doubtful that he and she stayed in separate rooms. (He starts to weakly deny that anything happened, but she cuts him off.) He and Karina were made for each other, so go away and don't come back.
Bravo tells Pancho he doesn't care to discuss his personal life. (Maybe he's not a good fit for Avon, then.) Pancho offers to show him to his desk. They find Isabella waiting for Pancho outside his office. Pancho introduces them. (Maybe they'll hit it off!) Well, he sort of introduces them. He gets her last name wrong as usual (Ruíz instead of Rodriguez) and calls Bravo "Broncas." Isabella seems rattled and excuses herself. Enriqueta makes faces at her.
Tom, Lupita, Chela, Moni, Pepe, etc. are having champagne to celebrate Tom's graduation. Concepción calls to report that Paco is running a temperature. Chela and Moni rush out.
Ana comes home and tells Lupita that Fred went to bed with Karina. (As far as I could tell, he didn't admit to this, but I guess Ana knows him well enough to know better.)
Isabella tells Pancho that Vice threatened her. He basically tells her that Vice is all bark and no bite and won't do anything to her. He offers to talk to Vice - he owes him for that big fine, anyway.
And just when I think Isa's doing a good job of sticking with business, she puts her hand on Pancho's and coos, "Would you really do that for me, Pancho?" He gazes into her dewy eyes and wonders if this is another one of those misread signals.
Rebe and Candy make up with one another. Candy's even beginning to doubt herself, but agrees to talk to Tomás.
Pancho extricates his hand from Isa's and answers a call from Rebeca. Rebe whines about Isa being there with him. She wants Pancho to come home, but he still has to deal with his new Director of Finance. Rebe says she'll stop wasting his time, and hangs up on him!
In Monterrey, Enzo meets his new pals at the telecom company. (There are NO women in this boardroom!) Chela calls. He tells her he's in the middle of a meeting and can they talk later? (Which makes me wonder, why'd he answer the phone? I wonder that all the time when people answer the phone only to say that they can't talk now.) Anyway, Paco's still burning up with fever.
Arnold asks Vice if he ate a rooster, because of his crow's feet. (They call them "patas de gallo" rather than "patas de cuervo." I guess I should have realized that after seeing the Concha Creme commercial 10000 times, but it never sank in.) Vice drags Arnold into his office to finish a conversation that was interrupted some time ago... "are you, or are you not, gay?" Arnold really doesn't want to answer, but Vice is yelling and shaking him. He can't stand for his friends not to tell him the truth. "I want to know the truth!"
"I'm not gay," Arnold replies in his regular deep voice. Vice backs away. Then he grabs him again. "I'm not gay," Arnold repeats.
Looks like Vice can't handle the truth!
Next time:
Christmas! Adrian is there. So is Nayeli. Enzo dances with Jimena. There's a lot of food. Tomás and Lupita get married. Napoleón goes for Salome's throat. Rebeca has another attack of jealousy.
Vice tries to book a flight to Mérida.
Pina is delirious. Fred appears. There's angel music. Is Fred real, or is Pina fading away?
Sandrucha is stunned but pleased by Chacho's offer to father a child with her.
Apparently, Fred is real. He explains how he got lost - he got distracted by something even prettier than Sergio.

Pancho and family gather outside the house. Clean-shaven Pepe flips a switch, and the whole properly is lit up like one of those houses you see on the news where all the neighbors complain about the eyesore and the traffic. Rebe is dressed like a very thin (though pregnant) Mrs. Claus. Group hug!
Frida feels sorry for herself at home in her little shack. Why can't she enjoy this time of year that everyone else loves? (I blame that tiny Christmas tree with the seizure-inducing rapid-flashing lights.) Gramps, why aren't you here? Why aren't you here, Dartañán? Boo hoo hoo.
Enzo and Chela get Candy's place. "Dead men don't bleed," she tells them. Chela thinks the meds are making her worse. Candy shows them her hands and insists she's not loca.

Mendoza goes to the jail. Pancho is going to pay Vice's very large fine. But the authorities are going to freeze Vice's assets.
Candy angrily confronts Pancho over the alleged conspiracy with Isabella. Moody Rebeca actually buys the story. Pancho says he had nothing to do with it. He would never do something so low and they don't know him very well if they think he could. He storms out. Rebeca cries.

Candy tells Rebeca about making Napoleón bleed. (Rebe seems a little more receptive than Enzo and Chela were.) Vice calls from Avon - he had to spend the night at the jail, but he's out now. Pancho paid his fine.
Pina, Fred, and Karina are at home. Apparently, no one told Ado they were coming, but she's happy to see them.
Tom graduates from the Police Academy. The head of the school singles out Tom for an effusive congratulatory speech for graduating in record time with the highest marks.
Pina goes to the office and tells Raimundo about Sergio the angel. Then Jorge Aravena shows up. Siiiigh. Raimundo beams at him. Pina gapes and drops her book. The mystery man picks it up for her and introduces himself as Sebastián Bravo. He's looking for Pancho. Raimundo offers to take him; Bravo says it would improper to leave the lady all by herself! Unfortunately, Pina snaps out of it and starts grilling the guy on why he wants to see Pancho. He's interviewing for Enzo's job as Director of Finance. He wasn't actually planning to take it, but now that he's met her, he'll let Mr. Lopez decide!
At the police academy, Candy still feels lousy on her meds. She tells Pancho and Lupe and Tomás about scratching Napoleón. Tom seems to take her seriously, but she starts getting loud and Rebeca and Lupita want to take her home to "rest." "He's alive," Candy declares, and stalks off. Rebe follows. Pancho is really worried. Only Tom finds her theory credible. Tom thanks Pancho again for supporting him like a father.
Isabella really wants to clear up her "misunderstanding" with Pancho. Jimena advises against it, since they both know that there was NO misunderstanding at all... she likes him. Why is she always falling in love with guys five minutes after she meets them?
Before this inane conversation tortures us any further, angry Vice bursts in with baseless complaints about the night he spent at the police station. He says she'd better not mess with him and asks why she picked on him. She didn't pick on him, she just did her job. Lambi had to spend a night in jail too and he paid his debts and fines, as should Vice. Vice says he won't pay a thing. In that case, Isa says, nothing will save him. His debts far exceed those of any other executive in the company. He owes millions of pesos, and if he doesn't pay, not only will he have to go to jail, they'll seize all of his assets. Vice vows to drive her out of the place.
"I told you so," Pepe tells Mónica. She still can't believe the miserable way Frida lives. Their little love nest was palatial by comparison.
Pancho is finally back from Tom's graduation and meets with Bravo. (There was a mixup, Enzo thought Bravo would be coming over in the evening instead of during the day.) Pancho says they can offer him a good salary. Bravo met Enzo years ago in school.
Pancho inquires as to Bravo's marital status (I don't think that's legal in the US). Bravo says he's divorced. Ominous music plays.
Recently divorced Pina is telling Raimundo that they doesn't even know if the guy is married - they just met. She pretends not to care. There are plenty of good-looking men in the world, but that doesn't mean she has to go chasing after them. But then she gives in and admits that she really likes him. Raimundo offers to find out if the man is available.
Fred approaches Ana. She asks if he's okay after being without air. (What? Fred doesn't need no stinkin' air!) The doctors checked him out and he's fine. Ana is cold to him and asks didn't he have Corny-locks with him? He explains that his mother set that up. Ana says she feels something for Adrian, and they kissed yesterday. And if Fred's jealous about it that's just too bad, because he kissed Karina first, and he didn't call her for months, and then he went on a vacation while she was having an operation. And knowing Karina, it's doubtful that he and she stayed in separate rooms. (He starts to weakly deny that anything happened, but she cuts him off.) He and Karina were made for each other, so go away and don't come back.
Bravo tells Pancho he doesn't care to discuss his personal life. (Maybe he's not a good fit for Avon, then.) Pancho offers to show him to his desk. They find Isabella waiting for Pancho outside his office. Pancho introduces them. (Maybe they'll hit it off!) Well, he sort of introduces them. He gets her last name wrong as usual (Ruíz instead of Rodriguez) and calls Bravo "Broncas." Isabella seems rattled and excuses herself. Enriqueta makes faces at her.
Tom, Lupita, Chela, Moni, Pepe, etc. are having champagne to celebrate Tom's graduation. Concepción calls to report that Paco is running a temperature. Chela and Moni rush out.
Ana comes home and tells Lupita that Fred went to bed with Karina. (As far as I could tell, he didn't admit to this, but I guess Ana knows him well enough to know better.)
Isabella tells Pancho that Vice threatened her. He basically tells her that Vice is all bark and no bite and won't do anything to her. He offers to talk to Vice - he owes him for that big fine, anyway.
And just when I think Isa's doing a good job of sticking with business, she puts her hand on Pancho's and coos, "Would you really do that for me, Pancho?" He gazes into her dewy eyes and wonders if this is another one of those misread signals.
Rebe and Candy make up with one another. Candy's even beginning to doubt herself, but agrees to talk to Tomás.
Pancho extricates his hand from Isa's and answers a call from Rebeca. Rebe whines about Isa being there with him. She wants Pancho to come home, but he still has to deal with his new Director of Finance. Rebe says she'll stop wasting his time, and hangs up on him!
In Monterrey, Enzo meets his new pals at the telecom company. (There are NO women in this boardroom!) Chela calls. He tells her he's in the middle of a meeting and can they talk later? (Which makes me wonder, why'd he answer the phone? I wonder that all the time when people answer the phone only to say that they can't talk now.) Anyway, Paco's still burning up with fever.
Arnold asks Vice if he ate a rooster, because of his crow's feet. (They call them "patas de gallo" rather than "patas de cuervo." I guess I should have realized that after seeing the Concha Creme commercial 10000 times, but it never sank in.) Vice drags Arnold into his office to finish a conversation that was interrupted some time ago... "are you, or are you not, gay?" Arnold really doesn't want to answer, but Vice is yelling and shaking him. He can't stand for his friends not to tell him the truth. "I want to know the truth!"
"I'm not gay," Arnold replies in his regular deep voice. Vice backs away. Then he grabs him again. "I'm not gay," Arnold repeats.
Looks like Vice can't handle the truth!
Next time:
Christmas! Adrian is there. So is Nayeli. Enzo dances with Jimena. There's a lot of food. Tomás and Lupita get married. Napoleón goes for Salome's throat. Rebeca has another attack of jealousy.

Abismo de pasión #30 4/20/12: Cocktails Always Lead to Tears
Casa de Modas
When the story opens, Blanca expresses to Lucio her concerns about him returning to the procesadora. She says that he will have problems with Gabino, however, it doesn’t matter what she thinks because she will support whatever decision he makes. Lucio is both surprised and thrilled about her attitude. They share a tender moment and express how much they still love each other. After a few kisses and caresses, Lucio asks her about the serious thing she wants to discuss. She tells him that Agusto and Alphonsia will visit their home at noon. Everyone will know then. What’s wrong with you to want to meet with the two of them at the same time? Unknowingly, she saves his life, by rushing him out the door to meet with their guests. He quickly forgets his concerns and turns to leave. He goes back to her one last time to tell her how much he loves her and thanks her for supporting him.
Don Lucio and Blanca’s Home
Augusto ties up his horse and notices Alphonsia sitting in a black SUV. Shocked, he walks over and asks her what she’s doing there. She doesn’t answer, but gives him the “F you and the horse you road in on” look.
Back at Casa de Modas
A distraught Horacio, with tears in his eyes, has arrived with his death kit. Menacing music is playing in the background as the killer agonizes over Gabino’s evil assignment. Momentarily, he pauses and puts his head against the wall. Intense orchestra music combined with angry drums and flute rage in the background. Just as he gathers the courage to forge on towards the entrance, a woman and child stroll by him, he masks his identity by hiding his face against the wall. The violins, symbols and drums soar to deafening decibels! The music dulls Horacio’s hearing because he fails to hear when Don Lucio opened and closed the massive wooden shop doors. Horacio does not lift his head from the wall while Lucio stops, adjusts his clothing, puts on his ten-gallon hat, and dances a little jig in front of the doors. Only when Don Lucio is safely out of the scene, does Horacio spring back into action. He checks the area to ensure that there are no witnesses (the streets are somewhat bare), pulls a Molotov cocktail out of his death kit and lights the dirty rag with an extremely loud lighter. Although the cymbals are still crashing and the flutes are still blaring, we are now able to hear the sound of the heavy doors opening and slamming shut. We even hear the click of the padlock that he places on the door so that trapped inhabitants cannot escape. His face set, he marches off. The mercenary has completed his mission.
Although the wick wasn’t that long, Horacio is able to completely leave the scene undetected. Elisa, after having mended her relationship with Paloma is returning to the shop. Just before crossing the street to enter Casa de Modas, I noticed that on her side of the street there are at least 25,000 townspeople nonchalantly walking around waiting to react to the explosion. Not one of these people noticed a man with a Molotov cocktail? When Elisa and the shop are in the same scene, we hear a terrified Blanca scream Lucio’s name! KA BOOM!!!!!!!! The Casa de Modas explodes! Elisa screams and tries to rush into the inferno to save her godmother, but is restrained by a passerby. All 25,000 extras (I mean townspeople) are now standing behind Elisa trying to look horrified. Elisa wails and struggles against her captor. She begs someone…anyone to help. Damien (who just happened to be in the area) arrives and dashes out of his truck. Along with Elisa, he rushes towards the burning building, but retreats because of a second explosion (I only saw one Molotov cocktail go in). Elisa continues to holler and try to get in the building. Damien now takes over the task of restraining Elisa. He tells her that there’s nothing that they can do.
Don Lucio Residence
Agosto and Alphonsia are wondering why they were both invited there by Nina. Alphonsia thinks Blanca tardiness shows a lack of respect. Right then, Lucio show up to greet his guests and invites them in. As the three move to enter the home, Nemo shows up to confronts her husband about breaking his promise not to visit Blanca. Lucio says that they are all curious to know why Blanca has called this meeting. Nemo says that she will be there for the meeting even though Blanca does not want her there. Lucio invites the all into the house to wait.
Procesadora de Habaneros de Arango.
Standing on the corner once in a revealing dress (once), I assume you’re waiting on a cab. Standing on the corner twice? You’re a hooker (but that’s only my prudish opinion). Anyways Ingrid is standing outside of the processor in a spring dress with a plunging neck-line, when she is confronted by Gambino. He too is curious as to why she is standing around the procesadora in red F-me hard pumps. Looking for tricks…I mean Johns…I mean work, she says. He tells her stop by tomorrow so they can chat, but she wants to talk now. He asks her bare, freckled boobs to join him for lunch. She agrees and they stroll off arm and arm together.
Don Lucio Residence
Alphonsia say that she has waited long enough and wants to leave. Lucio asks her to wait a little longer, but she leaves anyway (she can’t wait forever!) Nemo, the party crasher, wants to leave as well. Agosto wants to wait another five minutes. Nemo observes that if Blanca had something really important to say, she would’ve arrived by now. Lucio doesn’t understand why is wife has not arrived yet, but does not call the shop. He tells them to leave and meet with her later. Something must be really wrong, but he stills doesn’t call. Nemo and her husband leave.
Casa de POTA (Planet of the Apes)
Ramona tells Paloma about the explosion and that Blanca is dead. Paloma wants to know about Elisa. Ramona tells her that Elisa is fine. Paloma cries. Paloma says that if Blanca had not sent Elisa out with her, Elisa would be dead too. Ramona says that Elisa was a guardian angel to the end and suggests that Paloma go be with her friend.
Somewhere Near the Casa de Modas
For some reason, Damien and Elisa are walking down the street. This is strange because he clearly arrived in a truck (a white one to be exact). Elisa says that she will have to ask the Don to forgive her. She did nothing to save his wife. Damien tells her that it’s not her fault. There was nothing that she could do. She feels guilty that Blanca left her alone. He tells her to be strong for Don Lucio. He needs her right now. She doesn’t know if she can be strong for Lucio because she’s dying. He lays his forehead on hers as she continues to sob.
Don Lucio Residence
Elisa and Damien tell Lucio that his wife died in an explosion at the Casa de Modas. Don Lucio runs to the shop, where a two paramedics and some guy in a white shirt are removing a body. We get a quick view of the broken lock. He demands to know if Blanca is in the body bag. The guy confirms her identity and Lucio sobs over the body. Such a sad scene, but while he sobbing, I took the opportunity to make several observations.
· No cops, no detectives, no firemen, no bomb sniffing dogs, no security guard or a boy scout showed up to investigate an EXPLOSION!!!!
· The streets are not wet! How did the fire go out if the fire department was not called?
Elisa and Damien show up and convince him to let the paramedics take the body away.
Restaurante
Gabino and Ingrid are discussing opportunities at the procesadora. She notices that he is pre-occupied because he has stopped talking to her boobies. I think he tells her that she should keep checking the advertisements and he will keep her in mind. She leaves the restaurant. Two women enter and sit at the table next to Gabino. They loudly discuss the explosion. Gabino asks if Lucio is dead and is extremely irritated to learn that his nemesis is still alive.
Arango House
Florencia and Alfonsia are eating lunch, when Florencia observes that Damien is very late. He hasn’t even called (duh!). Damien walks in and tells them that Blanca died in an explosion. Alfonsina is shocked. Antonia comes in and reminds Alfonsina that Blanca wanted to talk to her last night. Damien wants to know why. Alfonsina believes that Blanca only wanted to talk about her husband’s work problems. Damien says that they are going to pay for the funeral. Alfonsina says no, that’s not their responsibility. Lucio is out of his mind, he doesn’t have the head for anything. He can’t do it. He tells Antonia to tell Braulio that he has to help with the arrangements. He runs off to change his clothes and call Lupe to prepare the church. Florencia asks him if he’s leaving. He says yes and hurries off. Florencia asks Alfonsina why Damien is so affected by the death of this woman. Alfonsina explains that he’s known her since he was a child and that she was the godmother of Elisa. Florencia ain’t no fool. If Elisa gonna be there, she wants to be there too. She rushes off to change for the funeral as well.
Arango House-Kitchen
While chewing what appears to be a cud or some very delicious gum, Horacio asks Antonia, “Why the sad face?” She tells him that a person very loved in the village has died. Braulio comes in wants to know why this scumbag is hanging out with his wife. Horacio tells him that he has been hired to take care of Damien’s horse. After Horacio leaves, Braulio asks Antonio why she didn’t tell him that a dirt bag was working there. She knows his type. She tells him that she can’t argue right now and tells him that Blanca died in an explosion.
Church
Hmmmmm Father Lupe may have joined Nemo at the tanning parlor. He’s looking a little Bengalish himself today. Oh my gosh! Finally, a phone! After you are done discussing the explosion with Damien, can one of you please call the police or the fire marshall and let them know that there was well…an EXPLOSION and someone died? It might…well, you know…need to be investigated. No such luck on the priest’s end. Gael comes in screaming about work and distracts him. Hopefully, Damien will make the call. Gael sees the father’s face and asks what’s up. For the 40th time, we learn that Blanca died in an explosion. Gael wants to know if Elisa was there. He is assured that she is fine, but that’s all Damien said. They have to prepare the church for the wake.
Arango Horse (singular) stable
Horacio tells Gabino that he completed his assignment. Gabino grabs Horacio and throws him to the ground. He calls him and imbecile and tells him that he killed Lucio’s wife and Lucio is still alive. Horacio explains that he followed Lucio from his house to the shop and tossed a bottle of gasoline. Seriously, the music was loud! He wants the money that Gabino promised him. Gabino says, that was a free one and warns him that he better not open his mouth.
Don Lucio Residence
Lucio sits staring into space. Elisa wants him to stand up so she can help him put on his chamarra? He tells her that Blanca wasn’t crazy about his decision to return to the procesadora, but she supported him. He tells her that Blanca wanted to talk to him about something very important when she got home last night, but he was angry and ignored her. He was being mean to her that morning as well. When he finally tried asking her about the important conversation, she rushed him out to meet their guests. He should have been at the shop so that he could die with her. Elisa tells him that is wasn’t his fault. He sobs and says that he doesn’t want to live without Blanca. Elisa says that now that Blanca’s dead, they will need to support each other more than ever. There’s a knock at the door. Gael has come to tell them that Blanca’s body is ready at the church (but not at the morgue, where a coroner should be performing an autopsy for the investigation). I guess Damien didn’t call after all. Blanca makes Gael promise to stay with Lucio while she runs home to get dressed. She tells Lucio that Gael will take him to the church.
Arango House
Damien has changed into a black shirt and looks rather dashing. He’s shocked to see Florencia waiting in a couture bare-shouldered mini dress from the house of Valentino. Elisa will not look better than her at the somber occasion. I admire that! I really do. He tells her that her presence at the funeral is not wanted. Alfonsina butts in and tell him that it’s necessary that Florence attend if she going to stay in La Ermita. She needs to begin networking and building relationships. Damien tells his mom he is attending a funeral and not the country club and this is not the occasion for Florencia to begin making friends. Florencia is getting the feeling that he doesn’t want her to go to the funeral shindig. He agrees to let her go, but he ain’t thrilled about it. Florencia tells Alfonsina to tell Paolo that they went out dancing at the funeral party. Don’t wait up for her.
Agosto and Nemo’s Casa
Paolo, stops by the house wanting to know if it was Elisa who died in the explosion. Upon hearing Lolita in the foyer, Agosta and Nemo come to investigate the commotion. Paolo repeats that there was an explosion and a woman’s body was found in the debris. Agosto asks about his daughter, Paolo doesn’t know where she is, that’s why he’s there. For a brief moment, even Nemo looks concerned. Agosto starts to freak about his kid. He needs to know what happened. Just then, the door opens and Elisa walks in. Lolita jumps all over her with kisses and hugs. Agosto looks relieved and demands to know what happened. Elisa tells them that Blanca has died. How many more times will I have to repeat this sentence? She runs to her room. While the others chase her, Nemo slinks over to Paolo and tells him that he should take advantage of the situation.
Agosto follows Elisa into her room and asks what happened. She sobs and tells him that she doesn’t know what happened. She left and when she got back the store exploded and she wasn’t able to save her. Her father puts his hand on her shoulder and tried to comfort her in his own stoic way. He doesn’t do it the way Damien did it, so she asks him to leave her alone. He asks where the wake will be. She says at the church and then he leaves. She sobs in her pillow.
Church-Wake Party
The church bells ring and the music is deafening once again. Damien and Florencia step on to the runway (I mean walk down the aisle), both looking stunning in their matching Calvin Klein attire. Braulio tells Damien that all the arrangements have been made and tells him that the police suspect arson. OK…maybe Damien did call the police. But, I still say that the fire department did not put out that fire! The streets were not wet! I did my own investigation and reviewed the scene several times while Lucio was sobbing over body. I had nothing better to do. Luckily they turned the music down so that Lucio and we viewers can hear the conversation and his head snaps around to hear more. Lucio stands up and walks over to mourn over the casket. While at the casket, Gabino struts down the runway (aisle) wearing an ensemble from Sean Jean’s summer collection. He stops to do a three point turn before walking over to Lucio to express his condolences. As soon as he hears Gabino’s voice, Don Lucio becomes unglued and goes after him. Damien, Lupe and Gael rush to restrain him. Lupe tells Lucio that he can’t rumble in a church! We all know he did it, we all know you want to whoop his a$$, but you can’t do it in the house of the Lord! That was the exact conversation. Would I lie on a priest? Lucio can’t calm down and calls down ever curse imaginable on Gabino. Finally, Lupe orders the bouncers to toss Lucio out of the funeral party. While being ejected, Lucio says that he wants Gabino tossed too. He doesn’t want him near his wife. Lupe tells Gabino that he can’t stay at the funeral ho down either. Gabino protests and says that he just wants to pay his lasts respects. The priest exorcises the demon and tells him to respect Lucio’s pain and he too gets tossed out of the hottest club in town.
Ramona and Paloma meet Gabino leaving the soiree. Ramona tells him that she’s surprised to see him coming out of a church. Paloma calls him a hypocrite, everyone knows he hates Lucio. He touches Paloma’s face in a suggestive manner, and Ramona grabs him and tells him to keep filthy his hands off of her grand-daughter. As the two women enter the church, we see Horacio watching Gabino in the background.
Church-Padre’s House
The bouncers (Damien and Gael) have taken Lucio to the Lupe’s house. He is still fired up! There is no way that that fire was an accident. He knows it was Gabino. He heard what Braulio told Damien when the music was lowered. Damien points out the police merely suspect arson, they don’t know who did it. Gael, who is dumb as two rocks points out that Gabino had a problem with Lucio, not Blanca. Damien defends Gabino by reporting that he couldn’t have down it. He was at the procesadora during the explosion. Lucio doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. Lupe (maybe it was spray tan) walks in and tells the bouncers to return to Club Iglesia while he speaks to Lucio. The party has stopped hopping now that Lucio and Gabino caused such a scene. Lucio wants to know if the priest gave Gabino the heave ho. Lupe assures him that he did. In a soothing voice, he tells him that Gabino is far far far far far far far far….FAR from being the best Christian, but he did not murder his Blanca. Lucio asks him if he’s sure it was an accident. Lucio knows that Gabino did it and he will spend the rest of his life trying to prove it. He swears on the life of Blanca that whoever took her life will pay with his/her own.
Agosto Nemo Elisa Casa
Lolita finds Elisa, fully dressed and crying, sitting at the bottom of a running shower. Lolita tells Elisa that she knows how she feels. Elisa says that know one can understand. First she lost her mother and now she’s lost her godmother. She’s sobbing because Blanca was like her mother and she couldn’t save her. She can’t do it anymore. She continues to sob uncontrollably. They should go get Damien. Only he can handle this. Lolita tells her to stand up so they can go to the wake. Her father is just about to leave. She doesn’t want to leave that spot. She sinks back down to the floor as soon as Lolita exits the room. I don’t know how she is gonna get out of the shower. I’d be bummed too.
Agosto tells Nemo that he is going to the funeral. He thinks that she should go with him. She tells him that he knows that she doesn’t go to church. She’d be a hypocrite because she never got along with Blanca anyway. Besides what has she ever done for me? Well, when our child died, she took you to the hospital?????? Well that was years ago. Besides she was talking about me behind my back????? I think he tells her that she should at least show up for the burial. Show some respect. She was more of a mother to your niece than you. Can someone please translate this conversation? I didn’t get it. Fine she agrees to go to the funeral, but asks him to wait while she gets dressed (finally! We are all grateful because she has not worn clothes for the entire day). Agosto takes his hat and leaves.
Arango House
Either she’s having a flashback or Alphonsia is imaging Blanca telling her that she was wrong about Estefania all these years. Sitting at her vanity, Alphonsia shakes it off and says that she couldn’t have hated the wrong woman for all those years. That woman stole and killed her husband. Antonia enters and tells her that the chauffer is there to take her to the church. She tells Antonio to tell the chauffer that she has to rest. She’s not going to the funeral. She doesn’t want to attend the funeral of a great friend of Estefania.
Dr. Whipped’s Residence
Enrique and his sister discuss the death and explosion. Enrique asks his sister to call the Arango house and ask for Florencia. His sister tells him that she is insane, but she agrees to do it. Right before she calls, Dr. Whipped walks in and she is able to make her escape. He asks his son to sit down. His father asks how he likes his job. He tells him that his mother got him the job by asking Alfonsina to hook him up. He wants to know why his father is so against his mother. He had a battle getting jobs in Guadalajara. (I don’t know the rest of what Whipped says) Whipped tells his son that he wants to get along with him and be is friend.
Agosto Nemo Elisa Residence
Paolo is waiting at the bottom of the stairs as Elisa exits the house. He wants to make is move at her most vulnerable moment. He wants to accompany her to the big funeral party. He heard the party is really jumping there! She finally agrees. Nemo pulls out her dead sister’s jewelry and tries it on. We flashes back to Blanca calling her everything except a child of God. Nemo is happy that whatever Blanca discovered went with her to the grave.

El Talismán #58 Fri 4/20/12 The Aftermath and Suspicions Abound
Previously on El Talisman:
Doris and Tonio are arguing, Doris reminds him that Cameela will marry Pedro and not him, he claims Mariana is alive she says whatever and she tells him she is leaving.
Today on El Talisman:
El Capitan is in charge of the investigation into the bombing of Gabe's car. (ed note: I have to say here El Capitan is the hardest working cop since Comandante Leonardo Faidella in La Verdad Occulta). His assistant tells him the car belongs to a worker from El Talisman.
Gabe and Sarita talk to Geno and tell her that Pedro and Cameela are getting married. Geno is thrilled.
Rita and Rennie are talking about the money again from Tonio. Rennie tells her it will be complicated because he just doesn't trust Pigorio. Rita warns him if he doesn't get that money soon, she will go after Tonio herself. Rennie doesn't look happy.
Manuel and Mariana are at the Only Hotel in Fresno. Manuel asks her if she is remembering anything since they have been here. She says no and is a little perturbed. Manuel tells her to be calm and she will remember little by little. She says she doesn't feel safe in Fresno.
Panchito is still trying to get Pigorio to talk to him about Doris. Pigorio tells him you wouldn't understand.
Doris is at Madame Brigette's and she tells her that Pigorio threw her out of El Alcatrash because he is jealous of Tonio.
Cameela, Pedro and Margarito are talking. They tell her she should tell El Viral they are getting married, even though Cameela is reluctant she agrees.
El Viral is still with Lic Menendez. She is in a snit about the lawyer telling her she gets nothing. The lawyer asks her if she has thought of reconciling with Rennie. El Viral looks at him like he is crazy. She can't beleive she is getting nothing. She fires him and says she will get a way better lawyer than him. He tells her any other lawyer will tell her the same thing. She calls him crazy and a robber. Angel comes in and asks what all the ruckus is. She tells Angel, and Angel says I'll get you a phone book and look for another lawyer. Just be calm. In comes Army and El Viral tries to talk to him, but he is still mad at her for the way she treated Fabi. She asks are you going to meet Fabi and he says yeah. She is very upset.
El Capitan says to his assistant that he is going to do a thorough investigation of this car bombing and he has to go see Pedro at El Tal. He tells his assistant this has Pigorio's fingerprints all over it.
Manuel and Mariana have gone to an outdoor cafe. A waitress waits on them and keeps staring at Mariana. Manuel and Mariana are wanting to know why she is staring. She tells Manuel and Mariana that Mariana looks like the missing Pedro Ibarra's wife. They are both surprised.
El Capitan has come to El Tal and asks to meet with Pedro. He has very bad news.
El Viral is still fuming when Tonio shows up to see her. He tells her Cameela and Pedro are getting married and that he needs her help to break them up.
El Capitan tells Pedro about the car exploding. El Capitan wants to know who the car belongs to. Sarita comes in and says Tia Patty and Claudio were in that car, they took it to the airport. Sarita wants to know how they are, and what happened?
Lucas and Valentin are back at El Alcatrash. Valentin wants to tell Pigorio exactly what happened, but Lucas is trying to get him to lie and say they all died including Mariana. He tells Valentin that if Pigorio finds out Mariana didn't die in that explosion, there will be hell to pay. Valentin looks like he is going to be sick.
Manuel and Mariana are still talking at the cafe. Mariana thinks she ran away from Pedro because he tried to harm her, and if he finds out she is in Fresno he will do it again. Manuel is the voice of reason and asks her how can she be sure Pedro actually did this. She wants Manuel to help her. He assures her he will help her find out what really happened. She asks him if he thinks Pedro would harm her?
Pigorio tells Panchito to find Valentin, he needs to see him. Valentin walks into the office and Pigorio tells Panchito to go. Valentin tells Pigorio that two people are dead, but Mariana is not. Pigorio is having a cow, he wants her dead already.
Panchito tells Tracy there are some bad things going on right now at El Alcatrash. Tracy asks like what things, and Panchito says Tonio has caused all kinds of problems. Lucrazy comes in and tells Tracy she wants a meal and snap to it while she is snapping her fingers. Poor Tracy says I'm on it.
El Capitan tells Pedro that Tia Patty and Claudio are both dead in the car explosion. Just then Gabe, Sarita and Margarito come in and Pedro tells them what happened. They are all inconsolable and cry together. El Capitan says he will personally investigate this case. Margarito thinks this is punshiment from God for all of his drinking years and ignoring his son.
