Una Familia Con Suerte #249-250 Mon 5/14/12 Go Directly to Jail, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect Any Pesos and Then Meet the Hummingbird

Into the home stretch: Rebe and Doña Rebe caress the twins and prepare to be strong. Pancho poses for his mug shots with time to smile and make smarty remarks. The prison toadie is glad to see Pancho in the booking room. Rebe updates Pina and Sebastian asking that Pina approve her return in Pancho’s absence so they can begin to prove that this whole fraud scheme was concocted by Vicente. They concur that it must have taken a real expert to take so much money and move it out of the country so quickly while blaming Pancho who wasn’t even there. Vicente could not have done it alone but he surely did it.

We see the Directora again who suggests many pleasures in exchange for many pleasures. She expected more class and elegance from the famous Pancho, instead he smells common and looks worse. (This is the great comedic actress Patricia Reyes Spíndola who was Quintina in Fuego en La Sangre and guess what? She is from my beloved Oaxaca): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Reyes_Sp%C3%ADndola

At the home front the children plan how to cope. Enzo will cope by thinking of how to help Pancho but going back to his work. While at Avon, Rebe threatens Vicente that she is on to him and sooner or later will prove that he set Pancho up only to win control of the presidency. She backs Vice up against his desk, promising that he will be the one in jail soon while Pancho will go free. Ever the dreamer, Vice does a little tap dance in defiance.

Back at the prison, the Directora threatens then executes the worst treatment for Pancho who says he would rather be treated the same as any prisoner and is not available for her pleasure games.

Rebe and Pina decide to enlist the aid of Chacho but Freddie seems to have gone to the dark side with his Paps. Pancho is shown into a cell by a sympathetic guard who I think would rather get his his autograph than lock him up. In the cell is a 14 year-old cellmate also glad to meet the famous Pancho. Pancho calls him the hummingbird (colibrí), I guess it is his name. I didn’t catch the nature of his crime, but he did swear his innocence.

Oh, we can’t get through a week without Temo crying the ugly cry but this time the point is the kids all corner Candi and tell her that she is supporting the crook who has put their Papa in the carcel. Chela is there to support the kids and agree with their condemnation. Candi stubbornly supports her husband whom she loves and trusts against all evidence to the contrary. The children one by one file out with their disgust at her betrayal of her own family and brother. Even Ana declares her delusional and she should know. Chela tries one last time to tell her what harm she is causing by her blindness.

Enzo makes his try with the Vice. He tells him he is resigning his big Monterrey presidency to come back to Avon to support him in this exciting new presidency he has wanted for so long. Well your old job is taken, sneers Vice. I know, it doesn’t matter rejoins, Enzo. And Pina is going to be a problem. I know. They tip glasses for the morning whiskey break.

Pina tries to disarm her suspicious son as she reassures Freddy that no matter what, he is the most important person for her. He knows Ana is going to marry Adrian and besides he is busy with so much to do (like understand finances in a multi million dollar corp. by lunchtime?)

Rebe returns to the sleeping twins and her Moms. She worries and thinks of Pancho who in split screen worries about her. They miss each other.

Pancho has a chance to trade jokes with the friendliest guard when Rebe show up. He misses his children, their bedroom and her caresses. They get unexpected kiss and hugging time. The guard Anselmo has to stop the love fest but only after some good face macking. They discuss their worries over how Avon will survive although he is reassured the children will be fine with Rebe and all their supporters.

Candi faces Vicente who pretends that although he always wanted the presidency, he hates that it had to be because Pancho committed such a huge fraud. His crocodile tears seem to assure Candi, well almost.

Rebe and Pancho have a tearful parting at the end of the visitors’ hour.

Ana plans to go see Pina. When she arrives Pina is very friendly but Ana asks first whose side are you on. Pina understands Ana’s deep distrust of her but she is going to help Pancho now. Enzo similarly disarms Freddy with promised help and advice and assures him that Vice knows he is going to help Freddy so they need to work hard together and not bother Vice with the details so Freddy can prove his competence to his father.

The prison Directora directs Gargoyle to exact payback from Pancho Lopez for insulting and threatening her. He is only too, too excited with this delightful assignment. He leaves and the Directora flirts with her own reflection in the large mirror she keep in her desk just for these intimate moments. She would do well working with Vice, she is sipping expensive a big red wine in a crystal stemmed glass.

Pina explains to Ana that she cannot approach Freddy directly as it will be taken negatively as he is in total support of his Paps. However, if Ana isn’t marryng Adrian right away (and she isn’t since Papancho has been jailed). Fina thinks Ana can reestablish confidence with Freddy so they can find out what he knows.

Doña Rebe tells tall handsome Pablo that although he thrills her to the marrow, she is uncomfortable going out in pubic with him. Their age difference is making a difference.

Chacho and Sandrita fight over who is supporting Pancho and who is with HER boss. This is just before Chacho is told by the doctor that his sperm has little motility, in otherwords, they are lazy slackers. He is given pills to take for 3 months to put energy into his sperm.

Next in the prison yard, Colibrí and Pancho trade jokes when Gorgoyle shows up to deliver his message from la Directora, which turns out to be several strong blows, knocking him down while blood spews from his mouth. Gargoyle threatens more and worse the next time.

Pancho explains that Directora offered him cable and champagne and many delights in exchange for his pleasuring. Colibrí thinks this sounds like the best deal in the world. He can’t understand why Pancho would hesitate.

Vicente gives one of his famous press conferences assuring the innocent media staff crowded around him with their network microphones that he has been preparing for this role for years and a good thing since Pancho has been cheating the company for a long time too. He takes special care to paint as negative a picture of Pancho as he can. Even Arnoldo rolls his eyes at the audacity of his lies.

Ana now has to tell Adrian that not only does she want to postpone the wedding given her Papancho’s incarceration, but Pina has urged her to approach Freddy to try to get him to reveal the trick his father is playing so they can spring Pancho. Adrian has an impressive snit going as he is sure this will spoil his big plans for an immediate wedding. They may as well break off, he snaps at her with that brittle temper. Ana just as strongly assures him she intends to marry him but given the state of things, she will do anything in her power to get her father out of jail. Like it or lump it.

Pina and Sebe work with Rebe to figure out how to track the money transfer. It seems most of the security tapes in the areas of finance and computing are missing and the cameras were turned off at some point. Sebe is still convinced that he can find some camera tapes to see what led up to the event.

Ana explains her plan to Pepe, Moni and Lupita. Pepe asks her what she really feels for Pollis. She pauses for commercials before she answers with long eye lashes batting faster than her heart is beating. Prepare for a major pitching of fits by Adrian, well, I’m just saying.

Even Chacho’s ever-present lollypop is drooping sadly to show us evidence of his dilemma. Sandra tries to get him excited about taking his meds and exercising those lazy old sperms. Vicente interrupts these plans with a demand that Sandrita address him properly as PRESIDENTE, PRESIDENTE. Chacho speaks his mind that he is only president because of his betrayal of Pancho. Vicente runs him off. In his office Vicente insults her parents and low social status. She leaves with tears in her eyes. Enzo and Freddy come in to brief Vicente on the state of the state of affairs financially that is.

Ana assures her siblings that she doesn’t mind having to approach Freddy even though Adrian is going postal, after all she still loves the Fredster…

Another session with Señora Directora who spits most of a cigar on him while he calls her on her taking advantage of people and being corrupt. Apparently this turns her on more than anything but no cigar, so to speak, so she kicks him out and plans the next level of revenge.

Enzo pretends fidelity to Vicente in front of Freddy but gets busted by Chela who walks into his office in the middle of Enzo’s speech and doesn’t get his ploy at all, no sirree, not at all.

Temoc does a crying scene over how badly the school kids are teasing him about his rattero father. He hates studying because he doesn’t want to face more of this in school. Rebe has become the most genuine and affectionate of step-Moms. She offers him hugs and advice now and reassurance whenever he needs it. (Wish I had someone like that, don’t you?)

Pancho and Colibrí make jokes in the laundry room at the prison. Chela hesitates to forgive and trust Enzo that his words were to get into Freddy’s confidence.

Ana makes her very sophisticated and sexy entrance into Freddy’s office and the ploy works like crazy. This time we are glad that he is so impressionable and gullible. Ana only has to plant a juicy kiss on his lips to bring them back together. Ana remembers telling Pina she was ready to delay things with Adrian to approach Freddy since Pina will only raise his suspicions. Never mind, the prolonged hug looks like it is worth any fits coming from Adrian. And Freddy looks euphoric and not at all defensive.

Chela says she has bad news for Enzo and must deliver it right now even in the conference room or wherever. Then she grins and says Ponchito is going to get a brother. Enzo is delighted and we are all relieved to have a break from the doomsday atmosphere of Avon if only for a few minutes.

Chela says she is so happy with Enzo and their life whether it is in Monterrey or elsewhere but he reassures her that he is here not only right now to get Pancho out of jail but because he cares for Avon and most of all he loves her.

Ana tells Freddy that she realized she doesn’t love Adrian enough so she is back. He is really happy and so ready to be convinced.

Somewhere in here, Violeta comes in with the worst haircut on the planet but nevermind, that red lowwwww cut dress distracts Vicente as she sidles into his office and back into his life.

Pina asks Sebastian if she did wrong to steer Ana toward Freddy. He says yes. But she thinks in spite of saving Avon and Pancho that Ana and Freddy are really in love and will end up being very happy together. Sebastian says he worries about the interdependence between her and her son since she seems to need to manipulate his life still. Their honest discussions are so refreshing. He isn’t judging her so much as observing astutely what he sees her doing. She is now able and willing to admit her weakness regarding her hermosho.

Colibrí and Pancho continue joking and sharing stories in the laundry room. Colibri shares that he is in for 50 years for killing either the dancer he is in love with or his rival. (Anyone catch this? I will correct it if anyone cares…

Pina and Sebastian get into the important business of learning each other’s preferences. They discuss favorite foods and favorite cities. Charmingly, his favorite city is whatever city Pina is in. Ahhhhhh.

Vicente the vapid meets with Don David who he turns into a strangling scene when the yellow happy face turns deep purple but David assures him that if he kills him that everyone will get an email revealing all the details of his crime. He wants more money now. Vicente assures him that tomorrow he will have more money put into his account. When pie face David leaves, Vicente looks like he doesn’t have a clue where that money will come from since he sent all those millions out of the country in order to ruin Pancho.

Adrian whines to Pepe and Moni that he doesn’t like Ana approaching Freddy even if it is to save her Papancho. This should be a sign to Adrian but it is certainly one to Pepe and Moni. Adrian is sure that the wedding will be called off but Pepe and Moni say that isn’t certain. Hmmmm…wanna bet?

Chela shares her good news with Candi then questions Candi’s undying loyalty to Vicente. She asks Candi if Vicente loves her as much as she loves him. Candi pretends certainty but we see scenes of Vicente’s tryst with Violeta after Candi finds telltale evidence of Vicente’s infidelity in their bedroom tomorrow. Pancho will continue in solitary confinement for not giving pleasure to Senora Directora. Rebe gets up in Directora’s face with threats of her own.

The follow on telenovela, Un Refugio para Amor, is again advertised for a May 24^th beginning with still no grande finale night for Una Familia con Suerte but that means this is my penultimate recap. I am going to need some time off this summer. Excuse me while I skip out to watch Damian swab his hot muscles at the cenote until Ramona so inconveniently interrupts our view over on Abismo. But I digress, until next week! Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement about my eye surgery and subsequent recovery. I am ecstatic with the continued success of the whole venture.

Abismo de pasión #46 5/14/12

Dear fellow recappers, Thank you for all your work last week. I did not get to watch at all, but you all kept me in the loop and gave me some laughs.
Dear readers, I promise the quality will improve when this bleeping school year is finally over.

El Refrito

Carmina and Paolo slime and slobber on each other.
Toadhead blows a fuse about the contract.
Lola is a mama bear. Elisa cries.
Dam takes off his shirt. Ramona says stuff about friendship...but Dam is not wearing a shirt, so I don't pay attention.

Lo Nuevo

Padre Lupe visits Fina who is preoccupied by the Ingrid Conundrum. Padre notices, but Fina assures him that despite her preoccupation, she will soon have everything under control. She reveals nothing.
Ingrid has lost the check. Gabino barges in and is menacing and abusive. He wants to know why Fina has asked him to get rid of Ingrid.
Kenia has the check and considers it a lucky stroke that she’s known how to forge mom’s signature since she was a little girl.
Paolo and Carmina go at it.
Paloma is determined to win Gael. Ramona tells Paloma that her mother had gotten involved with an unsavory type and that Paloma was a product of that relationship. When Paloma asks who her father is, Ramona clams up.
Ingrid tells Gabino about her past affair with Rosendo and the child she had and abandoned. She lies and tells him she doesn't know who the child is, but that he's in La Ermita. She asks him to help her find her child.
Lucio is just sitting down to a sad lonely dinner when Elisa arrives with the waterworks. She explains about Toadhead's flipout over the contract. She cries and cries and cries and wants to know why she gets blamed for things she had nothing to do with. Why is she paying because of what her mom did? Lucio and Elisa both miss Blanca.
While out riding horsey near the casa azul, Damian flashes back to when he was a boy and saw Cheat-ho leaving. Coming back to the present, he sees Paolo leaving the casa azul. He rides up to the house and we get to see the same scene unfold again.
Gael visits Elisa but finds out that she left after Toadhead’s flip out. Gael goes to Don Lucio’s to look for Elisa.
Damian reminds Carmina about the time he was young and caught her leaving the house. Carmina says a whole lot of lines I don’t understand because she is channeling the spirit of William Levy. She’s trying to talk her way out of trouble since Dam Fine noticed the exit of one Paolo Landucci. She claims he’s all upset about Elisa saying he tried to rape her and that he (Paolo) really is in love with her. Dam calls BS since there really is no need for uber privacy for that kind of conversation. Carmina says she thought the same thing and that she told Paolo to leave Elisa alone. Her taxi arrives and she leaves.
Lola thinks about the candle Ramona gave her and POOF! Horacio walks into the Castanon kitchen (Pop! Goes the Hottie.) He apologizes for not coming to visit and asks her out for next Sunday. He admits he’s dealing with some problems. He tells Lola she’s a great gal and he can’t believe she’s even noticed him. He doesn’t deserve her. Lola thinks that's her call. He asks what she'll decide. She tells him to get his problems fixed and then they can talk.
Lucio gives Elisa a picture of Blanca and Steffie together. Elisa loves it since she doesn’t have any pictures of her mother or Blanca. She and Lucio remind each other they are not alone. They have each other.
Ingrid flips out in the La Ermita Inn lobby. She’s trying to find out from the desk clerk where Kenia is. Gabino comes and asks her what’s up. She tells him she’s waiting on a letter from a family member. She’s hard up for cash and has to hide from Fina. Gabino says he’ll take care of her.
In Mexico City, Princess Poop whines about losing Dam Fine. She and Daddy talk about his money problems. Dad encourages her to go out with other muchachos.
In La Ermita, Sabrina is amazed that Enrique will continue to work at the Pro Ce. Enrique says he needs the cash so he can go find Princess Poop in the Big City. He wants Sabrina to get the number and address from Paolo.
While Dr. Whipped reads about Drugs for the Heart (in English) Be-gone-ya screeches about Enrique's dumb asp and the problems it's causing her with Fina. Dr. Whipped can't believe she's more worried about her friendship with Fina than there marriage. He confesses to knocking boots with another woman. He won't tell her who. She's more worried about the scandal. Dr. Whipped starts packing.
Dam Fine confronts Paolo about Elisa. Fina comes running when she hears the screaming. Dam wants Paolo gone...like yesterday. Fina refuses.
Toadhead fantasizes about Kenia. Creepy.as.hell. Carmina comes home and claims she went to the clinice. Toadhead tells her about the contract Dam offered Elisa. This leads to a very odd request for nookie on Toadhead's part. Carmina shuts him down.
Gael finds Elisa at Lucio's. He tells her he's the one who blabbed about the contract. Fuss. Fuss. Fuss. Gael doesn't want Elisa to have anything to do with Dam Fine.
Be-gone-ya tries to block Dr. Whipped from leaving. The kids come running and Enrique tells mom she can't force dad to stay. Dr. Whipped leaves
Carmina calls Fina to tell her about the contract and hangs up on her.
Tonia swears the woman who just called is the same who called Paolo.
Toadhead visits Lucio and asks him to talk Elisa out of working her mother's lands. Lucio tells him to support the girl and let her at least try. Toadhead says Dam and Elisa can't fall in love. Toadhead tells Lucio about the (false) paternity test results.
Dam enters the foyer just as Gael is hugging Elisa goodbye. He wants to talk to Elisa in private. Dam demands Elisa decide Gael or him! The boys gang up on her and Elisa tells them both to go to hell. Go girl!
Dam and Gael both swear to win Elisa.
Lucio thinks the test must be wrong and he says "no puede ser."
Kenia calls a friend to help get the check deposited without it being traced to her?
Ingrid curses Kenia and her stealing butt.
Be-gone-ya tells the kids about Dr. Whipped cheating on her. Sabrina haz a sad. Enrique advises they hear Dad's side, too. Oh, and btw way, sis...are you still going to get Flor's info from Paolo?
Kenia, Toadhead, Cantina???
Gael reports the Dam scene to Padre Lupe. Padre feels like it's Rosendo and Augusto all over again. The two men both fought for Steffie, but Steffie chose Augusto. Eventually they did become friends. Gael doesn't think two men who fight for one woman can ever become friends.

El Talismán #74 Mon 5/14/12 The Plot Thickens or The The Dumb Are Afoot

She's delirious. I assure you this is how she is. M. Hercule Poirot

Last time on El Talisman:

Lucas has come to see Doris. He tells her he likes her and will tell her all of Pigorio's secrets.

Today on El Talisman:

Alberta brings Pigorio some tea. He tells her he feels really bad but hopefully tomorrow he will feel better. He wants to know if Alberta has heard if Mariana has gotten her memory back. Alberta crosses herself and says she hopes so.

Beltbuckle and Lucrazy are still arguing about Cameela and Pedro. He keeps telling her to Largate and Callate. She says it isn't her fault that Pedro loves Cameela and that they are together. He calls her estupida, he calls Pedro an indio, again! He slaps her so hard, she falls down and is knocked out, with blood coming from her nose.

Mariana, Cameela and Pedro are still together. She thanks the both of them for telling her about the check. Padre calls Pedro on his cell looking for the papers from the orphanage I think. Pedro tells him to get Margarito to help him. He tells the Padre he'll see him tomorrow. After he gets off the phone, he tells Mariana they are going, but she asks to speak to Cameela alone for a moment. Pedro goes and waits in the hall. Mariana tells Cameela she can see how much her and Pedro love each other and that she won't stand in their way. Cameela tells her she was jealous of Mariana, but Mariana says don't worry. I am more like his sister now. Pedro comes back and Mariana says she is happy for them both. She understands that Pedro doesn't love her that way. Pedro tells her they will have to get a lawyer to sue for custody of Santiago. Mariana says the divorce will go thru quickly. He will keep Mariana posted on what happens with Santiago. Pedro says he is glad he has his "sister" back. They leave.

Maria has come back into the office to put her wallet back into her purse, and of course doesn't notice her keys are missing. (Note to Maria-please get a lock for that purse or the Doc will keep going thru it, jus' sayin' who knows what he will jack next). He wants to go out somewhere with her. She says she can't do that, and he knows it. He wants her to wait. He tells her their love is sooo not over (Note to Doc Manuel-please dude, get her some flowers, roses are nice, chocolates ya know the Belgian kind make them dark, take her to her favorite museum, concert, get my drift?). She leaves, while smiling really big (Note to Maria: you sure are giving him lots of signals there). He still has her keys of course, little does she know. He decides to leave too, cause here is his golden opportunity. Maria is in the parking lot looking for her keys. Manuel asks if everything is ok? She tells him she can't find her keys. He says with a purse as big as that, no wonder you can't find them. He offers her a ride home so she won't have to get a taxi. She says Angel is probably waiting for her,and Mariana must be waiting for him. He calls Mariana he won't be home right way, he is escorting a very beautiful woman home. Manuel says he wants another chance with Maria, yet again, (listen dude see advice I gave you above). She tells him, you know I can't and why, but she is smiling. She tells him Mariana is waiting for him. They go.

Lucrazy is still knocked out. Beltbuckle is trying to revive her but isn't having too much luck,so what does he do, wait for it, pours tequila down her throat. (Note to Beltbuckle: Man up and call an EMT, with the smell of alcohol they will think she fell). When he can't revive her he tells her this is all Pedro's fault. He keeps calling her name. He keeps saying it can't be. Tonio leaves the room. He goes to the small office takes off his shirt, changes into another one, and grabs the gun Val stole from Pedro.

Cut to the Gasbag, er El Viral who is having *another* pity party for one. She wants to know why she can't be happy? Why noone loves her? (Get a clue ya Gasbag, you are toxic, that's why. Get a job already and stop living off your poor daughter, your son, and most of all your sister, jus' sayin').

Tonio has dragged Lucrazy all the way to El Talisman. He leaves her on the ground, goes a short distance and fires the gun in the air. Pedro and Cameela hear it and wonder what the hey is going on? Pedro wants to go outside to investigate, Cami wants to come with, but he tells her to stay. Sarita, Gabe, Margarito and Domitilla all come in the room to to find out what is going on. Pedro and Margarito decide to investigate. Sarita says it is probably Lucrazy. Tonio is outside kissing Lucrazy on the cheek and crying. He tells her this is all Pedro's fault. Gabe, Sarita, Cami are worried Pedro hasn't come back yet. Sarita says she is very nervous.Margarito and Pedro have made it outside and Beltbuckle hides in the bushes. Pedro and Margarito find Lucrazy. Pedro checks her pulse and she slowly wakes up. She tells him her head hurts. Pedro is attempting to carry her, she asks her if that gun is his? Meanwhile Beltbuckle makes his escape and hides by the barn building. He is still crying. All in the house are very worried. Margarito tells them everything is ok. They found Lucrazy and Sarita says Lucrazy probably shot the gun again. Pedro has taken Lucrazy to the nearest building, which looks like a barn to me.

Lucrazy is starting to get some of her senses back. Pedro asks her why is she trying to always ruin his happiness? She tells him she loves him. Pedro tells the delirious woman (See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above) why did you try to kill me with a gun? Lucrazy tells him she doesn't want to be there, and she doesn't want to fight with him. Pedro says he will help her, but she has to leave El Talisman. She starts screaming like a banshee when he mentions Cameela's name. She doesn't want to hear about her, takes the Coleman lamp on the ground, smashes it, causes huge flames and tells Pedro if doesn't want her, they will die together right here. Tonio is outside this building the whole time, crying. (Note to Beltbuckle: Man up Dude, who knew you were such a wuss? Get the girl some help, put her in the manicomio, where she will be protected from your skanky ass, and maybe she can be normal after lots of help from the docs. Jus' sayin')

Army and Angel are on their way to the movies, when Fabi shows up. She tells Army she has escaped Alcatrash and wants to be with him. He tells her he isn't equipped to help her right now. No, money and living with the Gasbag, er his mother, Tia, Angel and Cameela. She begs and pleads but Army tells her she needs to go back to Alcatrash. She tells him what her Dad did to her and why she is looking for his help and she loves him. Of course guess who interrrupts this convo? Anyone? Wait for it, The Gasbag of course who insults Fabi YET AGAIN. The Gas needed to be vented, I guess. (Note to El Viral- GO to the nearest 7-11 and get that GAS-X Already!!!!!) Army tells her to shut it, and she whines and says, are you ready for this, I'm yo Mama. Angel hustles her back in the apartment and Army and Fabi finally have some alone time. Army tells Fabi he wishes he had a place for her to stay, but in a little while he will. He tells her to be calm and go back and as soon as he can, he will come get her and they can be together. He tells her not to provoke her Daddio and to be calm and do what he says until he can come get her.

Everybody at El Tal wants to go outside to find Pedro. Padre comes down from upstairs and notices the fire. He wants to know where Pedro is? Tonio is still standing by the barn, doing nothing.

Pedro tries to save Lucrazy, but she is laughing and howling and wants to die with him. The Beltbuckle finally moves his butt comes into the burning barn, finds Pedro and knocks the crap out of him. Beltbuckle saves Lucrazy and leaves Pedro on the burning floor. After Tonio gets Lucrazy outside he slaps her and tells her to Callate, she screams and he puts a hand over her mouth.

Everyone from El Tal runs outside. Margarito and Gabe go into the burning barn and rescue Pedro. Someone has called the Fire Department and the Police. Pedro wants to know where Lucrazy is? Noone knows.

Meanwhile Beltbuckle is telling Lucrazy to shut it and to say nothink. (Sgt. Schultz, couldn't help it), So Tonio goes screaming for Lucrazy. El Capitan is there with his some of his policeman as is the fire department. Pedro is screaming that Lucrazy caused this and Beltbuckle is like so not, El Capitan has to keep them apart. Beltbuckle tells El Capitan that Pedro probably did this. Pedro tells El Capitan that Lucrazy came to El Tal with a gun again, everyone in the house heard the shot. He reminds El Capitan that Lucrazy tried to kill him (Note to Pedro: Should have gone to El Capitan and pressed those charges while you had the chance.). Beltbuckle tells El Capitan that Pedro probably tried to kill Lucrazy by setting the fire and oh, by the way where is she? Beltbuckle says obvio she is still in the barn. Pedro says he tried to get her out, but then he got knocked out. He asks Beltbuckle how he knew Lucrazy was in there with a pistol? He says he was looking for her. He claims Pedro let her die in the blazing inferno. El Capitan tells Pedro, under the circumstances I will have to, wait for it, arrest you. (Note to El Capitan: Now look I know you are the hardest working cop in Fresno, but COME ON, you should know better, especially since this a Negrete, there is no body yet, so you should have waited, jus' sayin'). So poor Pedro is going to be hauled off to the Only Jail in Fresno. Cameela and all the El Tal inhabitants try to tell El Capitan that Beltbuckle is lying, but it is like talk to the hand, the ears aren't listening. Before they pull away, Padre tells El Capitan, this is an injustice and that Pedro is innocent. El Capitan says they will investigate of course, but he has to go to the hoosegow now. El Capitan puts him in the cell, and Pedro tells him you know damn well I am innocent. El Capitan tells him, that in his gut, he knows he is probably right, but for now he has to stay in jail.

Panchito went to M. Brigette to get Doris, on the Pig's orders. M. Brigette tells him she isn't there, but he tells her he knows she is there. Lucas has left, and M Brigette takes Panchito to see Doris. He tells her the Pig is doing badly and to please come back to Alcatrash. After some hemming and hawing, she goes. She goes into Pig's room and tells Panchito she is in charge now and to go. She sits on the Pig's bed and he wakes up with a start. He says oh, my children and you are against me. She assures him she is not against him, and only wants to marry him. He says he has to battle his two kids to get Alcatrash ES MIO back from them. Doris says what about marrying me? She is kissing him as she asks this. He says one day, maybe.

Angel has driven Fabi and Army to Alcatrash. Army assures her, he will come for her as soon as he has enough dinero and a place, he swears he will come for her even if she is in China. Army and Fabi are in the back seat and kissing and swearing undying eternal love. Angel tells them he hates to break up this romantic mood, but please hurry up, before someone from Alcatrash comes out. They say their goodbyes and they leave her there.

After Pedro is arrested, Beltbuckle goes back to where he left Lucrazy and asks her if she got all that. Beltbuckle thinks he has won this one, and tells Lucrazy they (the popo) think that Pedro did her in. He says Pedro is goin' to jail. Lucrazy says better in jail than with that bruja. He tells her let's go. The go back to Alcatrash and Beltbuckle hustles her back into the study. He leaves and runs into Fabi and wants to know where the hell she has been? He is grabbing her arm in a death grip and she is terrified. (Note to Belbuckle: Hell is toooo good for you, jus' sayin').

Now finally El Viral, er the Gasbag, as her pity party for one continues, she thought bubbles, Why does my daughter Cameela hate me so, Why doesn't my son Army want to be with me? (See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above). I am soo alone, boo hoo, I don't want to be alone. (Note to the Gasbag: Please take the great Greta Garbo's advice (I vant to be alone!!!!!). Anyhoo, she says, wait for it, I will get Manuel back. Oh, yeah that is SO NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Tomorrow on El Talisman:

Beltbuckle tells Pigorio I want ALL of Alcatrash!

*Tomorrow we have joining us a new recapper, Rosemary la Otra, who will be doing regular Tuesday recaps, and on Friday, we have the return of our Intrepid Reporter, Ms Anita who will be doing the Friday recaps. *

El Talismán #73 Fri 5/11/12 It's a Slapfest in Fresno and Mi Cheque of Course

　

Has life been unfair to you Mademoiselle? You've met my Mother- M. Hercule Poirot.

Today on El Talisman:

Pigorio in pj's is in his room talking to Lucrazy. He asks her if he can have her part of Alcatrash, so sorry Daddy already gave it to Tonio. She feels the ranch isn't important, he is really mad and tells her the only thing she cares about is Pedro, it is a sickness and obsession for her. He tells her Pedro only loves Cameela. She is pithed.

Pedro goes to see Santiago again and promises him, he will get him out of there, but it takes time, and he makes Santiago promise he won't run away and stay put, until this mess is straightened out.

Tracy and Alberta are in the kitchen,serving Papa Beltbuckle, Flor and Fabi dinner. Tonio asks the girls what they talked to their Mama Doris about? They want to know why he is digging for info? Flor stands up and yells at him that Cameela is way more important to him, and he doesn't care for his own girls. So of course being the Jackwagon that Tonio is asks them if his happiness counts for nothing? Fabi is standing up too and reminds him according to Army, Cameela is marrying Pedro, and only Pedro. Tonio backhands her. (I was hoping that Tracy would pick up the black iron skillet and whack him one). Flor gets in Tonio's face (you go girl) and asks him why he hit Fabi? He grabs them both and asks if they understand he is marrying Cameela, si or no? They just look at him, he lets them go and leaves. Alberta and Tracy are muy impactada. When Tonio goes into the hallway, he says to himself maldito indio, its all your fault Cameela doesn't love me. (Get a clue Beltbuckle never gonna happen.). Tonio also thinks his daughters may be right.

Pedro is in bed thinking about Santiago, as is Cameela in her own bed thinking of Santiago. They both can't sleep. Both are praying for Santiago. Cameela comes to Pedro's room and locks the door and he asks if she is ok? She says she can't sleep and climbs into bed with him. They are just about to get en flagrante, when Pedro gets a call, wait for it, en flagrante interruptus. It is Mariana wanting to meet him and tell him about some woman that came for, on the count of three, MI CHEQUE! She wants to meet now, they want to wait till tomorrow, but when Cameela hears about the cheque she knows who it was. Pedro agrees to come see Mariana now, and tells her, he is bringing Cameela. See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above.

Madame Gasbag, aka, El Viral has come home in a bad mood from her attempt to collect, MI CHEQUE, from Mariana. Army and Angel are there, and she says nothing is good, everything is bad, blah blah. Army wants to know what she is blithering about, she tells him to have some consideration it's all about her, the universe revolves around her, don't cha know. Army tells her to get over herself to stop the drama and the chantaje (Thanks Blue Lass) and to just get over herself. She turns it back on him and says all his universe involves is Fabi. She isn't even decent, well Army gets right in her face and tells her she isn't so decent either, it was HER plan to seduce Fabi and blackmail her for money and didn't she do the same for money with The Pig? Well the gas has built up in her brain and, wait for it, THAR SHE BLOWS AGAIN, and she slaps Army. He tells her Fabi is a decent girl, and here we go again with the Gasbag's threats, One day you will regret it. (Note to El Viral: Go to Tia Maria and get some pills for that constant ache in your head, like GAS-X know what I'm sayin'). She leaves the room and Army tells Angel he needs to find a job and get out of this apt, he can't live with The Gasbag anymore. She doesn't support anything he does and besides El Viral doesn't likeFabi, and neither does Fabi's family. He tells Angel he needs to find a place so he and Fabi can live together. Angel reminds him her family won't like that, but Army doesn't care. He tells Army to relax. The Gasbag has come back and the boys have had enough, and before she blows again, they want to go. She tells them thanks for inviting me to go with you. They leave. (Seriously, ya Gasbag, after the way you insulted your son, your nephew and the way you are with your family, You move out. Just sayin' I hear M. Brigette has an opening. Lots of money there, jus' sayin')

Fabi, Flor and Alberta are in the girls room and Fabi says she has had enough, her Beltbuckle Papa cannot treat her like this anymore and she is going to escape with Army. She really wanted to live with Mama Doris, but both Fabi and Flor suspect she is living with a lover and that's why they can't live with her. Flor wants to know if she is going to live at the university, but Fabi says no, with Army. Flor is sooo not down with this and says she will bear the brunt of anger from Papa Beltbuckle is Fabi leaves. Alberta is worried if Beltbuckle finds out Fabi escaped with Army he will kill him. Fabi tells Flor she will always have Tracy and Alberta to look after her. Flor is not happy. (Note to Fabi: Don't leave your poor sister there, take her with you and don't look back.). Alberta wanted Fabi to wait and think about what she is doing, tomorrow is another day and things will seem different. Fabi says no, they will never change.

Panchito and Tracy are in the kitchen and she tells him what Beltbuckle did. Panchito calls him an animal and he is telling Papa Pig about this.

Pedro and Cameela are at Mariana's apt and she says this Gasbag, er, El Viral was making her nervous. Do they know who she is? Cameela tells her its her Mother, (See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above). Why is this woman looking for money from me. Cameela apologizes for the Gasbag, er, El Viral and Pedro tells her it is a long story. Cameela and Pedro both tell her about Don Bernardo selling El Tal to Estagone, how Estagone lost it in a poker game with the Pig, how Pedro won it back, how Estagone killed himself, and how the CHEQUE was to save Cameela's family from the street. Cameela tells Mariana she didn't know Pedro had done this. Pedro explains that the check surfaced years later, when the Gasbags, non-millonaire husband attempted to cash it. Pedro tells her it is her money and not necessary to give any to the Gasbag. Now that Mariana know the whole story she feels better. They tell her they are worried about Santiago, and she knows who he is. They want to get married as soon as possible to adopt him. Pedro asks Mariana if she trusts him now? She says she does and feels so much better.

Panchito visits Pigorio and takes his blood pressure. It's not that good. Panchito says he is very strong, but Pigorio says he will be dead soon. Panchito pooh, poohs this and tells him all he needs is rest and he will stay with him tonight, and if he needs anything Panchito will be right there. (Note to Panchito, your Pig of a father so doesn't deserve you, you are WAY too good for him). Of course Pigorio tells Panchito the only thing I need is Doris, oh where o where has my little Doris gone, oh , where oh where can she be? Pigorio calls her maltida Doris again and she better not be working at M. Brigette's or he will kill her. Doris is, wait for it, ES MIO. Pigorio tells Panchito that Lucrazy gave her part of Alcatrash to her Beltbuckle brother. Panchito leaves and Pigorio goes to sleep. He is tossing and turning and wakes up screaming Doris' name.

Doris is with M. Brigette again and tells her she will only go back to Alcatrash if Pigorio honors her ultimatum of marrying him. She thanks Brigette for letting her stay with her. And Brigette tells her to go to her room and stay out of sight. Doris goes upstairs and Lucy is there. She tells Doris the joint is hoppin' tonight and there are lots of clients.

Lucrazy is in the kitchen and asks Tracy if she thinks her Beltbuckle brother loves her? Tracy she runs at the mouth and says nah, Then she apologizes to Lucrazy and Lucrazy says you're right.

Val comes in and asks Tonio if he is ok? The Beltbuckle tells him I don't need your opinion, and wait for it, LARGATE and Callate. Valentin leaves and Lucrazy comes in and tells him she was his accomplice at getting half of Alcatrash. She reminds him Cameela is in love with Pedro and his fantasy is not gonna happen. Beltbuckle tells her Cameela will be Senora Antonio Negrete, for better or worse. (Dream on there Beltbuckle). Lucrazy and Tonio start to argue and hiss at each other. Beltbuckle calls her loca, and she says Estupida Cameela, I'll kill her. Beltbuckle says if you kill her, I'll kill you. You'll be dead. She reminds him that estupida is with Pedro and in love with him, and that is why Cameela must die. Cause then Pedro will be free don't cha know. He tells Lucrazy to Callate. Lucrazy says Pedro and Cameela have to be seperated, (yeah like that is gonna happen). She accuses him of fooling her into giving him her quarter of Alcatrash. She tells him he is stupid and all he ever talks about is Cameela, he grabs her and twists her hair. She tells her Beltbuckle brother that Cameela hates him. He lets her go.

Valentin and Panchito are in the hallway hearing all this fighting. One of them says that Lucrazy is hysterical, ya think, and has many illusions, I'll say. Panchito says he won't say anything and he doesn't care if they kill each other.

Manuel is in the office and Maria comes in, she hopes she isn't interrupting anything, but she needs her wallet. He says come on in, I'm not busy. She goes and gets her wallet from her purse and leaves. Now he goes over and, wait for it, snoops in her purse. (NEVER, EVER snoop in a ladies' purse, personally I think Maria should have put a mouse trap in there, just sayin'). He extracts her keys from the purse and puts them in his pocket, what have you got planned there Doc? And what is with his hair? It is looking mussed and tossled. Maybe new hair product, jus' sayin'.

M. Brigette is greeting johns, er um , clients and in walks, wait for it, Lucas the bomber. It's a miracle your here. He says he is looking for a diverson,and she offers him Suzette, who he likes, but doesn't want. He wants Doris. She tells him Doris isn't available. He reminds her he is an investigator for the Pig. She says oh, yeah I know, you are not only his investigator, but a fake notary and a killer. She tells him Doris is not available to him and he says he needs a diverson and if she knows what's good for her, she better send him to Doris. M. Brigette does. He goes into Doris' room and of course she asks him "Que Haces Aqui", he says he likes her and works for Pig. She is Pigorio's favorite woman. She asks Lucas if Pigorio is looking for her? He tells her if she does him , he'll tell her and also all of Pigorio's secret.

There were two scenes of Padre with Gabe and Sarita with Domitilla, each perturbed at the other. Sarita says if Gabe won't marry her, she may as well be a nun. Gabe tells Padre he loves Sarita, but is so not ready to marry her.

Adrian tells his daughter he wants to marry Ana as soon as possible. He thought bubbles to himself, before she changes her mind.

Ana is determined to marry Adrian too. Ana and Lupe are in a bridal shop looking at dresses. Lupe keeps asking Ana if she is sure she is making the right choice. Ana insists her and Freddy are thru and she is marrying Adrian, punto. Lupe just wants her to think about what she is doing.

Chacho goes to see the urologist, about why he isn't getting Sandrita pregnant. The urologist tells him he will have to do some testing. Chacho thinks he has to go thru the same procedure with the butt thing, but the doctor hands him a cup, and says he needs a sample of his sperm as soon as possible. Chacho goes to do that, and comes back tout suite not, and the doctor is asleep. Chacho wakes him up and the doctor is snapping on a glove and Chacho freaks out, but the doctor laughs and takes the sample and tells Chacho they will test and see what is what. Chacho is relieved.

There is a board meeting at the company, and everyone is banging the financial report. Raymund has called this meeting to inform Pancho they found the fraud. Pancho tells them the company's account was hacked and the money was deposited in an account in the Cayman Islands. Pancho says he will make sure this is fully investigated. Raymundo tells Pancho the authorities have to investigate this, and according to statues, Pancho has to step down, and there will be an interim prez. Guess who the new interim prez is, anyone? That's right, Vice. Everyone is mad, cause they just know Vice has something to do with this, and would rather have Pina take over. They will call Lic. Mendoza the hardest working lawyer at Avon.

Pepe and Moni, in their afterglow, are talking about where they are going to live, now. They are not keeping the apartment. Moni has some money from her Moms. She wants to be sure this is for realz this time and he won't go back to Frida. He asks for forgiveness and says he loves only her, and will wait for marriage.

Meanwhile, Frida is whining to Don Mattias about finding Pepe and Moni together, and Don Mattias says he is glad that Frida is not marrying Pepe, cause, are you ready for this Frida, Pepe doesn't love you. The rebound girl gets a crazed look in her eyes and says, no matter, I will wait for him, no matter how long it takes. (Note to Frida: Listen Chica never gonna happen. Get a new "Luke" ditch Pepe and find a cuter guy who truely loves you).

Vice's first action as prez is to fire Sebas. Pina stands right up for her man, and tells Vice she is rehiring Sebas right here and now. He has to work with Pina, cause Vice won't have him as head of Finance. Sebas and Pina just know that Vice is responsible for this mess.

Chela is conflicted about going to live in Monterrey. She misses Enzzo but will miss her family here too. Moni tells her they should be together.

Doc Oc is by himself and Lupe comes by and offers to make him something to eat. He doesn't want anything, but she makes him something anyway. He likes it and she tells him he will never be alone. The whole Lopez clan loves him and will never desert him.

Adrian comes to see Ana and tells her , hey lets get married tomorrow! Ana says whoa big fella. I want a special day with a church, a beautiful wedding dress, my Papancho walking me down the aisle. Adrian tells her he is worried she will get back with Freddy. She has to tell him yet again, I am marrying you and not Freddy.

Dona Rebe and Candy are talking about Vice and how much Candy loves him, when he calls her. He wants her to meet with him. Sappy as she is, she goes to meet him. She wants to know why her brother is in so much trouble? Look me in the eye and tell me you had nothing to do with it? He swears it is all Pancho who did this fraud. He tells her he loves her, can't be without her, blah blah, she is such a pushover she reconciles with Vice! (Note to Candy: run as fast as you can girl, and never look back!).

Pancho and Rebe are in bed, and just about to get en flagrante, when Candy just waltzes right in, no knock mind you, and tells them she has gone back to Vice.

Pina, Sebas and Freddy have a little meeting and Pina asks him if Vice could have caused this mess. Freddy tries not to let anything out, he thought bubbles about the request Vice made of him to find him a hacker. He tells Pina and Sebas they can't go accusing his Paps without proof. He says this several times. This makes Pina suspicious and she tells Sebas, once Freddy has left, that Freddy knows something.

Coincendentially, Freddy is meeting with Vice.Freddy wants to know if Vice found a hacker and did this to Pancho? Vice convinces Freddy he didn't do anything and this is all Pancho's fault. Freddy has a hard time believing Vice. Vice offers Freddy the Financial Director position. He tells Paps that he was a communications major, but Vice tells him he is qualified for the job. Freddy thinks about the position. Freddy decides to take the job. Sebas comes by for his things from his old office and sees Freddy there. Freddy tells him he is the new director of Finances. He tells Freddy if you ever need help just let me know. (Note to Freddy: you are offically on my dead to me list. Ya know your Paps did this, jus' sayin' it's time to man up and tell someone.)

Chela and Enzzo talk by phone, and she tells him she is conflicted about moving to Monterrey. Enzzo says he wants his family with him, punto. He gives her an ultimatum. She is very upset.

Ana is going to order that wedding dress. Lupe is with her and asks her again whether she is making the right decision. Ana again tells her, she is marrying Adrian, punto.

Vice tells Candy he is going to sponsor her radio show again. She is very happy. (Note to Candy: Haven't you had enough of the criminal element? Wasn't Napo bad enough, jus' saying).

Pancho is arrested for the fraud. Rebe gives him big hugs and kisses , he tells her to be strong, take care of the babies, they tell each other they love each other. Rebe swears she will do everything in her power to prove his innocence. Pancho tells her to call the hardest working lawyer at Avon, Lic Mendoza.

Tomas is at work and finds out Pancho has been arrested for fraud. Tomas will not be part of this investigation. Tomas is very upset and swears Pancho could never have done this.

Pancho is in the same jail where everyone in Toluca goes when they are arrested, the Lic in charge is the same one, albiet no glasses now, must have gotten a new "Luke" and gotten contacts. The Lic. tells him no bail for you, you have to stay in jail until the judge decides what is what. Pancho starts to tell him he didn't do it, but Lic Mendoza tells him to shut it, he ain't sayin' nothing now. The Lic tells him since his crime is so bad they are sending him to Cereso State Prison. (Side Note: I goggled this prison to see if it actually existed. It does it is in Juarez, in Chihuahua State. It is the worst prison in Mexico. It is home to gang bangers, murderers, drug cartels etc. It is very corrupt, the warden was way worse than the criminals in there, and the Federales had to take control of it in 2011 after a prison riot that killed alot of people. It is like a thousand miles from Toluca). This is the same prison Tomas was in. Pancho is transferred there quickly and has his mug shots taken.

The whole family calls each other, tells each other what happened and gather together to see what they can do. They even call Enzzo in Monterrey, who being such a good friend, drops everything and comes right to Toluca. They all determine they will do everything they can to prove Pancho didn't do this. Tomas isn't liking where they sent Pancho. Candy is NOT at this family meeting.

Pina and Sebas talk about Freddy and Pina is convinced that Vice caused all of these problems and that Vice gave the Financial directorship to Freddy to keep him quiet. Sebas is going to contact someone about helping them catch this hacker. Sebas is convinced someone hacked the Avon Account.

Cut to the prison. The assistant of the warden Senor Valasquez recognizes Pancho and tells him the Directora wants a meet with him. Pancho goes in to meet her, and she says she knows who he is, and he can get whatever he wants there, women, liquor, drugs whatevs. Pancho is very sceptical but plays along saying he wants cable and cognac. This Directora is very corrupt. She is drinking brandy and chomps on a cigar, and spits the end at Pancho. She says, I think, that Pancho stinks. Pancho smells himself. She also says this all comes with a price.

Rebe is so mad, smoke is coming out of her ears, and she asks Dona Rebe to watch the babies while she goes out for a bit. Dona Rebe tells her no worries. Rebe goes to Avon and asks Pina not to fire her, she is out on maternity leave, but it expires soon. Rebe doesn't want to lose her job. Pina assures her to take all the time she needs, she completely understands. Pina and Sebas will help her. Rebe leaves and goes to Vice's office and tells him, I will tear you to pieces count on it, you jackanapes and jackwagon!

Lunes on Familia:

Vice holds a news conference.

Freddy kisses Ana, who says she has cancelled the wedding.

The Gargoyle from Cereso blackmails Pancho and hits him, sound familiar?

Vice is choking the hacker, and we see his face.

Abismo de pasión #45 5/11/12: Ramona Blocks the Dam

Alternative Titles

Dam Blocks Gael
Elisa Blocks Paloma
Alfonsina Blocks Gabino
Horacio Blocks Gael
Lolita Blocks Agosto
Guido Blocks Florencia
Kenia Blocks Ingrid

Casa de Castanon-Master Bedroom

Agosto tells Carmina that he’s been drinking. She tells him that she’s going to sleep in the guest room because now she doesn’t want to sleep with him. He doesn’t look concerned.

Procesadora-Reception Area

People are working and moving boxes. Gabino triumphantly enters the office. He announces that everything will now return to normal. With a sly smile, Maru tells him not to be so sure. Damien walks in. Gabino is shocked and so am I that Damien chose to come to work wearing a really super cool crème Members Only jacket with a Fonzarelli collar. Gabino’s back stiffens. Damien walks over to Ingrid and greets her warmly. Maru tells Damien that Don Lucio is waiting in his office. Damien tells Maru to hold his calls. This will be a private conversation. Gabino looks worried.

Procesadora-Damien’s Office

Lucio Kravitz is telling all of Elisa’s business to Damien (I ain’t mad at him). He tells Damien that he’s happy to know that Damien has finally decided to stay. Lucio tells Damien that Elisa can’t get a loan to clear and plant the fields. She needs something to bring to the bank that shows she has a customer. Damien tells Lucio to write the terms of the contract (I think). Lucio says that she won’t accept it. Damien tells him that the agreement will be between her and him and she won’t have to rely about Gabino or Alfonsina. Damien says to leave it to him. He’ll convince her. Not in that jacket.

Casa Castanon-Foyer

Gael and Lolita are in the foyer. Elisa comes in the house and tells him that the banks won’t talk to her. She slams down her hat. She and Gael leave to look at the fields.

Dead Fields of Elisa Castanon

Gael and Elisa arrive at the fields on his horse. He helps her down. She and her big boobs bounce over to the weeds. She is going to clear the fields with bare hands! She’s balling and tearing at the weeds. Gael grabs her and tells her that she has to remain calm. Everything will be alright. He pulls her into his arms and comforts her. Damien approaches on Mr. Ed. Gael sees him, pulls Elisa closer and strokes her hair. They break apart. Damien, still wearing a really super cool crème Members Only jacket with a Fonzarelli collar, dismounts and rushes over to Gael and Elisa. He’s holding a blue and white folder. Oddly, Damien and Elisa are color coordinated. It’s as if they called each other that morning. Gael protectively has his arm wrapped around Elisa as they walk towards Damien. Damien is celos and it shows on his face. Forgive me if I’m interrupting something, he says sarcastically. Gael wants to know why Damien is there. You are messing up my game, man!!!!! he says between gritted teeth. We thought you’d be in Mexico already. Damien says that he’s not going now. Why? She asks. Did you fight with Florencia? (oohhh good one!). Gael explains to Damien that Kenia explained everything to Elisa at the dinner. Damien changes the subject. Lolita told me where you would be. Damien hands her contract! She refuses at first. She doesn’t want any favors. He tells her it’s the same contract that other vendors have to sign. Don’t be so proud. It will be a good start for the two of you (he chokes those words out and tears up when he says it). She takes it. Damien painfully says “I won’t bother you more” and leaves. Gael tells Elisa that Damien doesn’t like seeing them so close. I think she tells Gael that if the shoe were on the other foot, he would fight for her. Help me out.

Casa de Familia Castanon

Lolita answers the rotary dial phone. What year are they in? Cuz, it’s Paloma calling from Dr. Whipped’s office and she’s sitting in front of a typewriter. She wants to speak with Elisa. Can Elisa come to the clinic? Elisa’s with Gael in her mother’s fields. They just left. Paloma hangs up the phone and looks bummed.

Procesadora-Gabino office

Gabino and Ingrid argue. He wants to know why she was talking to Damien. His shirt is unbuttoned revealing his scrumptiously, hairy muscular chest. My fingers are twitching to touch it. Why aren’t I in this scene? He demands to know what’s going on with her. I got big blue Nerf balls, he whines. You ain’t been paying attention to me. You’ve been mean to me! Ingrid tells him not to worry about Damien. He tells her not to play with him. She calms him down with a little smoochy poo. He gets an adorably confused look on his face.

Procesadora-Reception Area

When Ingrid walks into the waiting room, Kenia is waiting to speak to her in the reception area. Kenia kisses Ingrid and tells her mother that she’s rented a hotel room in town. She’s coming back to La Ermita. Ingrid is outwardly annoyed. Maru wants to know who that girl is. She’s someone that I can’t get rid of.

Casa de Arango-Florencia’s Bedroom

Finally! Positive proof that these are not real Italians! The “Italians” are fighting. No one is talking with their hands or pounding on the table. I knew it! Guido says that they are leaving. Florencia doesn’t want to leave until Damien forgives her for tongue wrangling with Enrique behind the barn. Her father tells her that what she did was very bad; she’s getting a spanking when they get back to Mexico (she even will have to pick her own switch off the tree). Paolo, chilling in a chair, is listening to the whole thing. Florencia blames Paolo and says that she should have never listened to him. She knew it was the wrong thing to do. Paolo says that he merely suggested it. She’s a big girl. He didn’t make her clean Enrique’s uvula in plain view. Paolo tells them to have a good trip. Dad says their leaving in two hours.

Casa de Castanon-Carmina’s Vanity

Carmina is sitting in front of her vanity. Must I be treated to two images of her? Anyways, she’s imaging her secret tryst with Paolo at the smut shack baby smut shack. She’s interrupted by Lolita who is there to move so things into the guest room? She wants to know if they are Agosto’s or Carminas. Carmina says that they are hers (I think). Carmina continually fluffs her hair during the conversation. Carmina says that her stuff stays in the guest room? Lolita wants to know why Carmina wants doesn’t pay attention to her husband anymore. Carmina says that she shouldn't have to explain anything. She is going to live and let live. I didn’t get this conversation. If anyone else has an interpretation, go for it.

Casa de Castanon-Agosto’s office

Agosto remembers Kenia coming out of the cenote. She’s cute and has a very nice shape, but she ain’t no Gabino.

Casa de Arango-Alfonsina’s office

Guido tries to give the check back to Alfonsina. He doesn’t feel right about taking the check after all his family has put her through. She won’t accept it. She hopes their friendship won’t be affected by what occurred between their kids. He thanks her, swears to pay her back and leaves. The phone rings. It’s Ingrid. She wants to discuss her blackmail threats over the phone. I don’t recommend this. Alfonsina wants to know what she told Damien. You were there. You heard the whole thing. I told him that I was Gael’s mother. I want his help making Gael forgive me. I told him that Gael’s father was a well-respected man in La Ermita. Alfonsina tells her that Damien could have guessed that Gael was Rosendo's. Ingrid gives Alfonsina another opportunity to give up the Benjamins. Alfonsina tells her to name the place. Ingrid is not allowed at her house.

Procesadora

Damien is still sporting his really super cool crème Members Only jacket with a Fonzarelli collar. Enrique comes in and gives his two-week notice. Damien tells him that he doesn’t mix business with his personal life. He is not gonna fire Enrique. He asks Enrique how he feels about Florencia. Enrique says he loves her, but she loves Damien. Damien tells Enrique that she’s all his and thanks him for helping him to see the light. He thanks him, but also says that they will never be friends.

Casa de Castanon-Foyer

Lucio encourages Elisa to sign the contract. He helped Damien write the contract. She has her pride and doesn’t want anything from Damien. He tells her to learn to separate business from matters of the heart. She will never make it if she can’t do that. She’s continues to protest. She’s getting on his nerves and mine. He grabs his hat and bounces. Unfortunately, I can’t storm out with him because I have committed myself to watching on Friday nights. Her lower lip quivers.

Castanon Green Fields

Don Agosto is angry because Gael is late for work again. Gael explains that he was in Elisa’s fields. Then Gael Kravitz tells ALL of Elisa’s business to her father. He says he’s only telling him because he is going to find out anyway. If he knew her menstrual cycle, I’m sure he would have shared that with him too. Gael tells Agosto all about Damien giving Elisa a contract. Question: Why are all 20 of the field hands (dressed in white) picking crops in the same exact spot?

Casa de Castanon-Elisa’s Bedroom

Elisa flies into her room and slams down her hat. Lolita happens to be in there. Why do I have so many complicated problems? The contract. Her father. Don Lucio. Gael’s feelings. Damien. Why did Lolita tell Damien where she was? Why didn’t Damien go to Mexico? Her life is so complicated. Lolita says it’s obvious. He found out that Florencia was never preggers. Elisa discounts that explanation and says that Damien knew that chick was lying long before now. It has to be something else. She’s also annoyed that Damien told Gael to go for her. Lolita tells her to talk to Damien. Nah, she’s not going to do that. She’d rather complain. Lolita tells her that Paloma called and asked her to stop by the clinic. Lolita tells Elisa that she told Paloma that she was in the fields with Gael. Another problem. Great. Commercial.

Castanon Green Fields

Agosto and Gael are having an intense discussion about Elisa, the fields, Damien and the contract. Agosto says that Elisa will sign that contract over his dead body. Kenia interrupts. Did I come at a bad time? She’s come to talk to Gael (hopefully, it’s not to tell him a secret). Agosto immediately calms down, sprints around Gael and dives across a dirt road into order to get into the Kenia end zone first. He tells her that he and Gael were discussing problems at work. He is all up in her personal space. I’m here to talk to Gael, back up buddy. Lobo leaves her, but sits at a nearby table and stares at her while licking his chops. Kenia tells Gael that she knew Ingrid before she came to La Ermita. She met her the day she fell off the moto traveling the break-necking speed of 5 miles an hour. According to Kenia, on that day, Ingrid told her that she abandoned a baby at a church. Ingrid tried to comfort her by telling her that story. She tells him not to trust Ingrid because she doesn’t have good intentions. I didn’t understand the entire conversation. If someone has a better interpretation, go for it.

Hotel-Ingrid’s Room

Alfonsina gives Ingrid a check. Cha Ching! Ingrid says Alfonsina’s been very generous. The check is for more that she thought she was going to get out of her. “That’s it. You’ll get no more. Get out of Dodge”. Alfonsina says that she’ll leave in about two days, she needs to wrap things up with Gael. What real blackmailer will accept a check? I don’t recommend this. I’m always afraid that they’ll stop payment or something or I’ll misplace it.

Casa de Arango-Foyer

Florencia’s bags are packed. She’s waiting with her father in the foyer. Damien walks in. Guido apologizes to Damien. When they get to Mexico, she will be put in the Time Out corner immediately. Guido leaves the two alone. She tries to explain and begs for forgiveness. He doesn’t want to hear it. He doesn’t love her as much as he thought he did. She tells him that he will regret dumping her for Elisa. He doesn’t seem to give a flying burrito.

Dr. No Longer Whipped Office

Paloma wants to know if it’s true that Elisa was in the fields with Gael. Yes and I started crying, so he comforted me in his arms. It was wonderful! Don’t ya wish you were me? Paloma does not look happy about that. Elisa assures her that she’s not interested in Gael. She goes on: Right while we were about to make out, Damien comes riding up on Mr. Ed and he gets all jealous. Paloma tells Elisa that Damien caught Florencia and Enrique swapping spit behind the barn. Elisa is shocked. Paloma heard the whole thing when Mrs. Kravitz was talking to the Doctor. Commercial.

Casa de Arango

Mrs. Kravitz apologizes for her son kissing Florencia. Alfonsina doesn’t care. She’s got major revenge to plot. You are the least of my concerns. She gives Mrs. Kravitz the big pointy stiletto and shoves her out the door! Alfonsina calls Gabino. Get your furry little chest over here!

Restaurante

Kenia is disgruntled because her mother is late. She wants to know why Ingrid wouldn’t let her give her a ride to the restaurant. Ingrid shows Kenia the check she got from Alfonsina. I got more money out of her that you did. Kenia agrees that its big chedder, but points out that Ingrid could have scored more if Gael got half of the Arango fortune. Ingrid agrees, but says Kenia messed up her game plan by coming to town. Even if Gael knows he’s an Arango, he hates Ingrid and will never give her a cent. She points out that he will eventually hate Kenia when he finds out that she’s is sister and has been deceiving him. Kenia says that she doesn’t care if he knows. She’ll stay his friend forever. She likes her brother. Kenia tells Ingrid that she better leave town immediately because Alfonsina knows that Ingrid knows that Damien and Gael are hermanos. She might have an accident, unnatural disaster or there may be a misunderstanding if Ingrid does not leave town soon.

Iglesia

Father Lupe and Gael are arguing about Elisa. They both have great hair. They are screaming, waving handkerchiefs in the air and pounding on tables. Hmmmmmm. They may be Italian. Padre tells Gael that Damien is in love with Elisa and that he needs to accept it. Gael will not accept it. He tells Lupe that Damien told him to fight for Elisa.

Casa de Arango-Alfonsina’s Office

Alfonsina wants to know if Gabino is loyal to her. He says yes. Does he know that chick named Ingrid that works in her procesadora? Yeppers, but not very well. I hired her because we needed a secretary. Alfonsina tells Gael to get rid of Ingrid. Make her disappear. Gabino is shocked down to his big blue NERF balls. Commercial.

Casa de Arango-Alfonsina’s Office

Gosh, he looks so adorable when he’s confused. With a straight face, Gabino tells Alfonsina that he is not a murderer. She says that she didn’t ask him to kill anyone. Are we being recorded? She (winks) just wants Ingrid to disappear. Did I say I wanted her dead (wink wink)? She only slept with my husband, had his baby, gave the baby to my brother so that I have to stare at him every day and now she’s back for more money. Why on earth would I want her dead? We’re not being recorded right? Scare her out of town. She doesn’t want her in La Ermita, much less at her procesadora. The NERF balls want to know why. Alfonsina says that none of his business. Just follow orders. He leaves.

Hotel-Ingrid’s Room

Ingrid stops to admire her new shiny check, puts it in a Bible, and they puts it in her purse. Ingrid is quickly packing her grip. She appears to be following orders and getting out of Dodge City.

Casa de Kenia

Kenia rents a Pepto Bismal pink house. She gives the owner a check for a year in advance and gets a key.

Clinic

Elisa and Paloma discuss Florencia and how the grand love that she felt for Damien was a complete lie. Paloma tells her to go after Damien. No one will bother them now. Besides, it will keep you’re a$$ away from Gael. Elisa tells Paloma that she shouldn’t be worried about her. Paloma should be worried about Kenia.

La Hermita Mercado

I want Ramona’s basket AND her bag. They are FA BU LOUS! She can keep the straw hat and the FDLS skirt. She and Lolita are walking out of the Mercado. Lolita has come to the market to find Horacio. She’s met him there in the past and he has helped her. Ramona gives Lolita a love candle. The flame of the candle will bring news of that man to her.

Arango Stables

Damien (still wearing that really super cool crème Members Only jacket with the Author Fonzarelli collar) asks Horacio if Mr. Ed is saddled up. He’s going for a ride. Gael is cussing and storming towards them. Horacio jumps in between them.

Horacio: Hold up! Man, don’t roll up on my boy like that! Back up!
Damien: I got this. He ain’t gonna do jack.
Horacio: Well then, handle your business! I’ll step off.
Gael: Are you mackin’ on Elisa?

Damien says, Ya damn skippy, I am. She’s cute and her body’s banging!

Gael tells Damien that he’s been in La Ermita the entire time and he’s not going to let Damien just step in and take her away from him. He’s not going out like that.

Casa de Castanon-Kitchen

Lolita is putting away the groceries that she bought at the market. She’s wearing some really cute earrings. Agosto’s enters the kitchen. He’s lost his woman and his kid. He asks Lolita if she’s seen them. Elisa’s visiting Paloma at the clinic. She tells him that he needs to change his mood cause he’s always angry. She tells him that she has moved his stuff to the guest room? I am confused about this musical room thing (please someone interpret). He wants to know where is wife is. She doesn’t know.

Smut Shack Baby Smut Shack

Paolo and Carmina are kissing…loudly and frankly, I am annoyed. In telenovelas, kisses should be seen and not heard. I can’t hear the dialog over the all that unnerving smacking. I never thought I’d say this, but please let them feign tongue kissing because the smacking is driving me nuts and not in a good way. From what I can gather, Carmina wants Paolo to continue to harass Elisa until he gets her. Paolo say he’s a little hesitant considering in the past week or so, he’s been pulverized by Damien and had a sawed-off shoved into his face by Agosto for breathing next to Elisa. Carmina says she hates Elisa and blames her for her baby’s death. She also says that Elisa is the cause of her marriage failing.

Back at the Casa de Castanon-Foyer and Elisa’s Bedroom

Thanks to Gael Kravitz, Agosto demands to see the contract as soon as Elisa enters the house. He wants her to give him the contract. He will not allow her to do business with an Arango. His father took his wife from him! She says that it’s her business, not his. Oh my gosh, Becky! Her boobs are so big! He tells her that she can’t make that deal with Damien. He’s tossing the room, like he’s the DEA and the shepherds just alerted. He wants to know where she’s hidden it. She says that she has nothing to hide! He finds it! She grabs it and he tries to forcibly take it from her. Lolita jumps in between them! She will not allow him to hurt Elisa. You can fight me, but unlike your daughter, I’ll fight you back! AND I FIGHT DIRTY! (I just added that in. It would have been cool if she said it!) Elisa cowers behind her. He considers taking on Lolita, but she stares him down. He leaves. Annnnnnnnd on queue. Sobs and Tears.

The Cenote

Dam Fine dismounts from his proud, white stallion and tightly secures its leather reigns to a near-by, low-hanging, oak branch. Urgent fingers, tearing at buttons, rush to release a body shackled by the constraints of a white linen prison! He marches towards the placid, clear water. Although once bound, his torso has suddenly been set free! Rapidly, Dam Finer yanks the shirt from his 300-like frame! Crouching down, he draws the cool water with a bandana of blue. Guided by powerful hands, the bandana slowly glides over his heated flesh. The delightful strawberry birthmark stamped sternum, his only imperfection. Damp blue material continues its voyage across his vast chest; beads of moisture roll over the tiny valleys of his abdomen and continue down the path of a very happy tra…Ramona! Now is not the time for your Jedi mind trick, Mayan mystical, mumbo jumbo crap! Why isn’t she wearing a bell? Oh Joy! She’s there to advise him and unfortunately, that advice is not for him to unbutton his jeans.

Thanks to the unwelcome distractions, he STOPS washing himself and walks over to her. He certainly works out because those pecs are all plumped up! Blah blah blah, she says that she knew he would never leave La Ermita. He sure has a beautiful body profile. He says her advice is silly. I agree. This is not the time. He wipes is neck. More delicious moisture running down his ribs! Hard swallow by this recapper. Is she a eunic? Cuz she doesn’t seem affected by this. Blah Blah Blah friendship will last forever. Dam! There was another profile shot. Dam! There a back shot! Blah Blah! Blah! Some friendships will last forever and a woman won’t come between them. Great! She’s done? Skedaddle! This scene has stirred up many feelings in me that I am ashamed to express.

One last happy thought before I go. This was the last scene, so it will be the first scene on Monday. Oh Yes! Yes! Yes!
