Caray, Caray!

Lo refrito:

Paz/Magda amazed at having a live phone line, look at it as if it were a Mars rock. Now if they only could figure out how to dial… but they don’t have the right prefix codes for cell #s. LOL!

Luci nervous when she arrives at TL with CL. Claudio eases her. She sends Claudio ahead.

Rod catches Luci: stares seem to suddenly only find each other in the whole universe. HE asks her how she is, how’s their baby. She says have faints here and there, but doing fine. I know you don’t care about my feelings. Everyone but I knew you were Linares child. It was jealousy, rage and spite that made me marry Gala. But not love.My love will always be yours.

Lo Nuevo:

Luci asks him not to approach her like that and not to talk to her about love. We are through and if I am here is ONLY for my dad. That does not give you right to approach me. He promises he won’t do it again. She thanks him. (he is about to cry) he asks her if she will never forgive him. She asks him to try to be happy with his wife and child and forget her. He promises he will try. (Claudio calls Luci over to break the moment.)

Max asks/orders Oscar to be the one to turn over the offices to Claudio and Luci. Oscar seems not to mind. Oscar reminds him it is his duty to introduce Linares and Luci as the new associates to the rest of the board. Max gets enraged and stands up ‘heck no!!’. Oscar asks him to chill out. This is not up to you or me, you just HAVE TO. Patience. (Max mocks the ‘patience’ request) (Max would rather spend a year in a jail cell with Rosa than do this)

Elsewhere at TL offices, Luci keeps shaking nervous. Claudio keeps reminding her she is as much owner as the TL’s. She asks him Will it keep that name? CL: Of course not but there will be time for that. Luci excited to be able to communicate with Paz directly with the cel.

At Het Het Paz and Magda have got Procopio to help them figure out how to call the cell phones. Procopio gives them the right prefix code to call cell phones. Procopio will miss their visits since they won’t need to go to the funeral home to make calls.

Board meeting begins, Pato and Luci smile to each other, Rod stares at them worried. Max reluctantly introduces Claudio and Luci as the new associates. Oscar gives them the copy of the docs. Luci very nice to Oscar. Pato offers the Linares his help. Luci thanks him. Claudio tries to state that he will need another office for an auditor. Max claims Claudio needs his approval. Claudio says he doesn’t think it required. ‘Unless you have something to hide.’ Rod jumps in saying we don’t have anything to hide… and looks seriously at Luci and Claudio.

At TL Mean manor, Rosa is still rattling to Connie. Connie hopes she will really listen to the doctor this time. RosaE is still irate, instead of the doctor, she should head to the TL offices to kick out Linares and Luci. Connie rolls her eyes… Rosa E asks Mati to prepare dinner, she is hoping everyone will come to dinner again (dream on, woman!!)

At Het Het, Aquiles is talking to his travel agent to get a complete trip package for Mex City. ‘pa’ que se oriente’ (so you will figure out where we’re heading)…

Gala at her office is barking out of control to her employees, says the photos are nasty, the writing is hideous! She throws the paperwork of her employees all over the place and keeps insulting them. Julie comes in carrying half a mall worth of shopping bags… Gala rants and rants that everything is the ‘maldita domestica!!!’’s fault. Julie says you can’t go on raging around because it could hurt your pregnancy. Remember THAT is our investment. What you need to do is go to the offices and face that ‘chacha’ and mark your territory and warn her who you are and how far you would go if she dares touch ‘lo que es tuyo’ (what is yours).

At Dr Offices… Dr is glad RosaE is back. He needs to ask her some questions to try figure out why she goes on rages so frequently. RosaE says it is just daily life stress. Doctor says most people could control that but you can’t. There are situations where you can’t control yourself and that could have a medical reason. RosaE says ‘that is just who I am’.

Doctor says we might find some chemical reason in the brain which could be stealing your peace of mind. RosaE says sorry but I don’t’ believe even in the peace of graveyards… or churches… or convents… or desert islands… or sunken ships… or the dark side of the moon.

Aquiles tries to get Procopio to mind his business while Aquiles is away. Procopio says I could do it for a week, but not a minute longer. Btw, Paz got a private phone line. Maybe thanks to her dad Luci will end up more powerful and rich than yourself here in SFelAlto.

(Funny, Aquiles notices Procopio has his cigar backwards in his mouth and mocks him)

Paz and Magda worry about the cost of the calls from the private line. Namurashi (the crafts contract girl) comes in and asks for Luci. Paz says Luci went to the capital and not sure when she will be back. Namu says she brought the design they want Luci to paint into some of the pots. Paz and Magda offer to begin making the pots and then Luci can come finish them. They all agree on the idea. Paz asks Magda if Luci will want to keep going with the pottery. Magda assures her Luci will never leave her crafts. Paz worried about Luci’s meeting with those ‘wild beasts’.

Back to TL offices, Luci and Claudio are on their way out, but Pato wants to talk to Luci in his office. ‘esta chica pero esta padre’ (it is rather small but it is cool) As Pato and Luci enter his office, Rod notices it and eavesdrops some. Luci is honest with Pato, not comfortable here, want to go back to town with a’ma. Pato tells Luci she is important because of how she is, simple, pure, honest. That is why she is really important for him. (With this Rod goes to his office worried). Thanks to her motivation he was able to move forward. Will never tire of telling Rod he committed the silliest mistake of his life in not believing in her. He let go the most valuable woman he could have found in his life. Luci reminds Pato never to talk to her about Rod. He promises, if that makes her happy.  Luci is summoned to take on her office.

Rod stands in between Luci’s and Pato’s office doors, he wonders if there is anything going on between Luci and his brother… no can’t be. Luci and Pato care about each other for the way Luci helped him move on. Yeah, has to be just that.

In her office, Luci looks around, is even more concerned/nervous. Begs the virgin for help. Want to avoid my dad any embarrassment. Want to do things right. (and now!! My favorite scene of the night!)

Gala storms in, already enraged. ‘What are you doing here, Gala?’  ‘Came to remind you what is your place in life. Just because you are the child of Claudio Linares you will never stop being a criada (maid)… you better not wave around your tag/title of businesswoman… ‘cause you are not. And Even less try to approach Rod because he is MY husband!’ Luci’s response: ‘ you got the wrong office! Go ask your husband not to look for me, but surely he will listen to you more, you are his wife’.(WOO HOO!!! I LOVED the daring tone Luci used)

‘And now that all that is clear and out of the way, neither you nor your husband have any business in this office’. ‘ enjoy the little time you will be here. Because you don’t have the ability or the ranks to be here.’ ‘you are wrong. I own half of this business and next time you have a doubt/question/request/rant, knock on the door before you come in.’ (smiles to wrap it up nicely, Gala leaves in a huff, whispering through teeth ‘estupida criada!’… storms right into Rod’s office… rants at him about ‘la domestica esa’ just steps in here and you go after her like a lap dog (perro faldero). Rod demands she respect his office …

 ‘you don’t respect me or your child!’…  Rod says if you have anything to rant at me for, this is not the place. You respect this office. Don’t make me do things I will have to regret later. (No!! Make him!!! … but she just yells for him to get off her) Yeah! Let you go for good! That is what I would LOVE to do but I can’t because you are having my child. (Gala leaves again whispering through teeth ‘darn Rod, if you only knew how much I despise you!’)

Luci gets a message on her cell phone, gets instantly worried.

Boris and Jana… Jana says been havin a hard time lately, family matters. But won’t tell Boris any details even when he rants that she should trust him and he claims problems are easier to handle when you share them. Saved by the ring. Pato calls Jana on cell phone. Wanted to tell her how it went to Luci on her first day as associate at TL. She looked so pretty. Jana is happy to hear that. Pato asks Jana a favor, to pick up the results of Luci’s test. HE wants to give them to her as a surprise tomorrow at the office.

At Het Het, Paz and Magda are about to have a stroke wondering how it all went for Luci.

Then they worry about the cost of the phone. Paz is more worried about when LUci will be back. She feels Luci will slowly but surely get away from here. Magda says that is the laws of life, besides Don Claudio IS her dad. Ariche comes in and is admiring the phone when it suddenly begins ringing. It is Luci, they are all about to do an indian dance of celebration. 

Rod comes to see Pato… Pato is leaving, he’s tired. Rod sits down deflated. Pato asks what is wrong. Rod says getting really worried about the picture of my future. Pato guesses right it also has to do with the idea of being so close and yet so far from Luci. Rod will have to learn to live with that. Gala has set on the goal of making his life miserable. And even if Rod does not give her reason, she makes it up. Thanks P for being here, need his support. Same here.

RosaE and Connie on ride back from doctor… You must be happy now, but I will tell you I am fine!… She blames Luci for everyone thinking she is sick or crazy… Connie tries to get RosaE to admit she was wrong about Aurora and Luci. That it became her obsession. No obsession, vengeance! Had to take vengeance from that woman!! Connie tells her you are sowing what you planted. There are your children resentful of you. RosaE barks at her not to be against her!.. Connie explodes’ Do you want me to lie to you? Do you want me to say what you want me to say?? … Rosa says want to start over, and admits Luci is expecting her first grandchild… RosaE asks driver to take her to see Padre Honesto.. (again?? What good is going to confessional if you won’t admit your sins??).

At the taco basket corner business, Lorenzo and Fabian arrange with some of the maids to go to their place to eat one of these days…

On their way out of TL, Luci tells Claudio she could not stand being in an office all day. Claudio says you will get used to it. She wants to keep doing her crafts and teach the women in SFeA to do crafts so they will be independent. Claudio happily admits to prefer that too.

Again at her offices, Gala takes it again on her employees… And again Julie comes in with shopping bag, a dress she had seen at the store. Gala is not in mood, ‘you only think of spending, right? ‘ ‘this is just crumbs compared to the fortune of your husband’s. I only have 3 vices: shopping, men and champagne… you should do the same… you are a millionaire.. so many women would die to have what you have… / Ay no!! I am not happy! And what hurts more is that I realize I will never be (happy!)… Julie guesses correctly that Gala is mad about Luci… Gala rants: ‘you did not see what I saw!’. She believes herself the Grand Damme! She even told me that Rod is following her around! … she even rand me out of her office!... yes I left! What did you want? That I would stay and rant at her in public?...  Julie says you are expecting a child of Rods’, a TL, and you have to use that baby in your favor.

At church, Padre E congratulates RosaE in having the guts to confess to her family. Do you feel better? No… Rod despises me, Jana and Pato are feeling sorry for me.  Give them time. RosaE says now they say I am going nuts. And even took me to a doctor that says when I find myself in danger, I disconnect from reality. But it is not so bad they think I am going nuts. (Now it is Padre who is blown away by her) As RosaE is picking up to leave, Luci comes in. RosaE seems to be cordial with her and asks Padre to leave her alone with Luci, need to talk to her.

Rod gets home and Gala has started a skid act of being in pain for the baby… Rod buys it hook, line and sinker… DUMB Rod-BOBO!! .. as he leaves the room to get her water, she sprays her forehead to look like she is feverish…

Previews: Gala calls Julie telling her she has found a way to tie Rod to her side…

And RosaE and Luci meet up…

Braulio and CHente meet up with Quique at procesa… Quique still thankful to chente for what he did for Sabrina, gives CHente the phone number so he can call her. Quique tells Chente about Damian shooting Gabino and Gabino being in serious condition at health center… Braulio worried about CHente who took off running.

Back to Elisa/Gael, now full blown replayed argument about Damian and who-do-you-love: ‘try and deny that everytime you see Damian something like this happens! Don’t you think I can see how you hug him? how you melt for him? / I don’t melt for anyone!/ Certainly not for me! I got that real good! But what about for him?? / He is a married man expecting a child, what part of that don’t you get?? / Rub it in my face that that is why you are not there! / you have no right to reprieve me for anything. Since we got engaged I have not betrayed you. / no? Try to deny that you still love him. / Look, I have always been honest with you but now I am beginning to question about your honesty. I have known you all your life. And something is up with you. And obviously you are hiding it from me. / You are right. (with a 'caught with the hand in the cookie jar' look down in shame) / Then stop acting as if you have a big load on your conscience, because mine is really clean.

Previews: Carmina keeps twisting the knife… Gael confronts Carmina saying not Damian or anyone will separate Elisa from him. Carmina says don’t be so sure… and seems to give him the same spoon fed poison… VO: but among so much evil, a truth explodes!... Damian confesses to Loopy that he did NOT shoot Gabino Mendoza.
Note tomorrow's ep is at 8:55 EST, 7:55 CST!!!

Ah, hello all- we start off listening to the old dogs conversations about a party and how there will be plenty of yummy, young girls in attendance.

Helena kisses Lalito goodnight over the telephone.  Helena invites Eva to sleep in her large bed, for the impromptu slumber party. I love the" que, que- what?”

Fernando's house-
Marsela says that with two salaries we can pay our bills much faster than before. What a blessing in this economy, oh I forgot; we are talking about the Neanderthal.  Fernando wants to take over the finances, Kevin gets his cell phone that is for emergencies and it’s not a toy, yeah, now she is the best mom in the world. Last week he needed her at home when he came from school, teenagers, Fernando then complains that Marsela is wasting money.  The only thing that this man does is sleep, eat and complain.

Back at Helena's
Eva is in heaven, she is staying at Helena’s but she can’t sleep with her-she snores, she talks in her sleep and Lucero lets out such a belly laugh.  (At times she is like the audience finding it hard to contain herself. - Lol) she just can't sleep with Helena! she walks in her sleep, etc. Helena won't take no for an answer, it's settled? She will share the bed with Helena.

Playa Mayagua- Rebeca was enjoying her meal just a little too much, Antonia points out that its too cholesterol laden and she will ask for fruit or something lighter. Rebeca points out that by not eating Antonia will insult the natives.
Uh oh, Pluto has been there two times, not just once and Antonia starts eating.

At the old dog party-Adriano is MUY -impactado, Paola is his friend Jesus' daughter. Karma is wonderful!

Fernando is complaining about Kevin's cell phone. According to him Marsela can't do anything right, it was a surprise that he was not included in.  He is too young for a phone, its counterproductive. Marsela feels that she will know where he is. (I do agree with Fernando, let me get my head examined because he will use the cell phone to lie and say that he is somewhere that he isn’t.) Kevin seems sneaky.  Kevin is on the phone with someone saying that he can add him to his contacts and to let him know when he gets "something" please don't let it be drugs.

Back at the party- oh Jesus is just so proud of his scank of a daughter. Adriano looks like he has seen a ghost. Of course Paola knows him Uncle Adr.  After I finished rolling my eyes at this scene, I don't like to see this actress speak, there is something odd about her mouth. Jesus’ young chippie, Ximena who comes over to the conversation and they walk away to mingle with the other guests.
Adriano is not happy.

Pluto is calling Rebeca; oh he has left several messages. She finally answers. The place (Playa Mayagua) is a pigpen but the food isn't too bad. How does that make sense?  Rebeca needs to speak to Pluto to clear something up.  Pluto wants to know- what does Rebeca know. He has to wait until tomorrow.

Back to the slumber party- Eva tells about missing her Belisario and being a widow and not undressing in front of anyone but him, and Helena compares her feelings to Eva's. She too feels like a widow and that she will not be with Juan anymore.  He is always in her dreams; he is the love of her life. He will always remain in her heart.  The rest of this scene was too funny- you are not going to take off your makeup.  No, she can't in case of an emergency. Eva had something on her eyebrow and screamed and ran into the bathroom.

Back at the party- the lovebirds are arguing as to why Paola didn't share that Jesus was her father.  Seriously, who cares?  Adriano was treating Paola like a hot potato.
But Jesus toasts him. Yuck!!  Another eye rolling scene for me.

A night gowned and stocking wearing Juan is in the bathroom saying that he can no longer go on with this farce and goes to Helena's bed.  Helena wakes up and Juan tells her that Eva doesn't exist.  Is this a dream? Camil is singing in the background.  Helena was sure that Juan was alive.  He explained why he had to invent Eva.  Helena is ecstatic. Juan tells her that he loves her, adores her, they kiss, the bedroom gets ready to explode and then I knew it!!!  Juan was daydreaming!
Helena checks on Eva, she's taking too long in the bathroom and Helena is getting sleepy,

OMG- Eva has a green mask on. A mask that her/his 80 something aunt wears and she looks like she is 25. I’d like several gallons of that cream. This concoction has been in the family for generations.  She doesn't know about Ponds cold cream and the likes because she is from the north.
Poor Eva is trying to take a cover and keeps disturbing Helena's sleep.  Eva sleeps on the floor.

Playa Mayagua - a local man says that the natives have their support in this project and will do anything for Helena Moreno. Rebeca is thrilled at the mention of Helena's name. She complains about getting bitten by the mosquitoes, etc.
Rebeca tries to tempt Antonia to eat the decadent breakfast but this time Antonia stands her ground!

Helena wakes up and looks for Eva, she slips into the bathroom and the toilet seat is up and the towel is soaked. Was a man here? Que the heck! She asks Eva already dressed  and serving breakfast  and Helena asks about the toilet seat being up and the soaked towel. Again another family member story, her Uncle Ochente. She blames leaving the bathroom like that lets her feel like her husband is still alive.  She is careful not to wet her goodies.  Helena loves having Eva around. I am sure that the feeling is mutual.

Helena is visiting Lalito and Eduardo calls for Helena.  He makes sure that Helena brings Lalito home from school. Helena keeps her word and while dad recuperates Lalito stays there. He is a strong outpatient!  He yells for Silvia to change yesterday's water.  She is a better woman than I, because he would have been wearing said water!

Mimi meets Eva and warns her to be careful staying with Helena because she can get caught. Yes, she/ he shaved.  My goodness, how much Avon do these blue dresses buy?  They ask for everything but they are slow to pay. Oh no, here comes Adriano.

Playa Mayagua- Antonia is bothered that Pluto has been there 2 times already.  Of course Rebeca has time to take a quick swim in her itsy bitsy bikini, before they lave, be strong Antonia, and don’t give up!!

Adriano and Mimi get into it again.  Why is she at his place of business? She is Miss not Mrs., hard head.  She isn't bothering anyone. The blue dresses agree.  He doesn't want Mimi there; Mimi is trying to a make an honest dollar as she puts her money into the bank of her bra.  She has been summoned to Adriano's office. Mimi is delighted.  Mimi is making strides!

Helena's office-they discuss Helena's plan for Lalito and a meeting to get information from Antonia about Playa Mayagua.  Eva goes to make the arrangements and in walks Pluto without knocking.  Eva doubles back

Adriano's office- he starts yelling at Mimi about her coming into his place of business without permission and ends up asking for men's products.  Mimi” indiscreetly" asks why does he have such a youngster as your girl?? Adriano tells her to butt out of his personal business.  Adriano tries on a little of the cream.  I could not stop laughing.

Pluto is shoveling his crap that he is there being supportive in Helena's personal life, blah, blah, blah.  He just admires Helena. Then he brings up again how his wife has changed, she's distant, etc.  Yeah right!

Lucia is having problems with her Mauricio.  They will talk later.  In the elevator Eva tells Lucia that no man is worth crying about and the three gals break into song.

Antonia is back.  The couple missed each other and in walks Rebeca.  The girls shared a taxi. Antonia asks Pluto about the two times that has was there.  Antonia wants to know what is going on, he told her that he was there only once?

 We will find out tomorrow at 7:55

Viviana’s Place

Camila recounts finding “El Vato” swimming in his skivvies.  Viviana tells her she may as well face it.  Camila’s more attracted to him than she’d care to admit. 

Alonsssso’s Attack

Alonsso’s just getting started with la ramera when he passes out.  He doesn’t pass “GO”, but she collects her $200.  Well, maybe not but she does clean out his wallet.  HAHAHA.  To her credit, she does tell the front desk on the way out that the dude in 210 is out cold.  The front desk clerk finds Alonsso sprawled on the floor.  He instructs the front desk to call La Cruz Roja lest he die on their watch.  He checks his wallet for ID and sees that he’s been cleaned out.  He calls the Malquerida office and speaks to Natalia, telling her Alonsso’s in trouble. 

Ingrid has really lost it. In a voice shrill with hysteria, her face busted and bruised, bloody lip and side curls drooping she begs E. Tovar, M.D. to make sure that Gabino  Mendoza dies of his gunshot wound to the head. No, she is not kidding. With Gabino alive she will have no peace…Edmundo naturally thinks she is just upset. HIS Ingrid doesn’t mean this. He cannot just let Gabino die. He is a doctor and besides, it is better for Damian if Gabino doesn’t die. Ingrid twists the meaning of his reply, “Oh, so Damian is more important to you than I am”! As Edmundo tries to calm the ranting woman, she pulls away and says, “Don’t touch me, I want to be alone”. Edmundo leaves her twitching in some waiting room at the hospital.

In Dr. Tovar’s office, Paloma sits anxiously. Heaven forefend that she should be working when Dr. Tovar is off on some emergency. Enrique comes in and they have a sweet conversation. She is excited to be having this baby, even thought her grandmother thinks she is making all the wrong decisions. Enrique tells her not to worry; as far as he is concerned the baby IS his. He offers to make a real go of it as a couple and kisses her gently on the lips—as Gael walks in.

Gael is shocked but when QuiQue says that he and Paloma are an item, he tells Paloma that he hopes she finds what she has been looking for. She is happy with her man, she claims for the first time in a long time. Enrique tells Gael they are expecting a child. Gael is muy upset.

Gael looks like someone smacked him upside the head with a wet burrito. He doesn’t believe it.  She is not in love with Enrique. She is too! Paloma snaps and he should not forget it again! He congratulated the happy couple and gives them his news—Damian has shot Gabino!

Carmina runs into Delores right as she is leaving for the Health Center to be with Elisa. Lolita tells Carmina that her FRIEND, her ASSOCIATE or her BELOVED Gabino Mendoza was shot in the head by Damian.

Alfonsina pays Horacio a visit and accuses him of shooting Gabino. Horacios smiles when he asks if Gabino is dead, but the Black Widow says that he is in grave condition at the Health Center. Well, demands Alfie, if it wasn’t you then who shot him?  Calm down, Horacio tells her. The matter is out of Alfonsina’s hands.

Elisa asks Damian how he is doing and he says very well, thanks for coming. (Really, Damian? You are very well?) Elisa says she came because he shouldn’t be alone. He says the lawyer is taking care of everything. They begin to talk about his upcoming nuptials. He doesn’t want to lie in front of God, be married in the Church to a woman he doesn’t love—He is doing it for duty, nothing else. Then you are being manipulated by Flo and your Mother.

Elisa asks why and Damian comes out with the whole story. He is not sorry. He did it for Elisa, to save her inheritance of the greenhouses.  The only way his mother would not take legal action against Elisa’s for her debt—was if Damian met Alfonsina’s condition. One, he had to stay in La Ermita and Two, he had to marry Florencia in the church. Now there is some fine hand porn as these two touch through the bars of the jail cell.

Now they go back and forth about how he is happy to help her and his friends. She calls him a fool. He tells her that she lied about being in love with Gael. He tells her to go and be happy with Gael. Elisa is crying and when Damian asks why she grabs him though the bars and pulls him to within kissing distance.  Elisa tells him—Because right now, my whole heart and soul are with him…AANNDD the door opens behind her as Flo comes into the jail cell area. Elisa leaves and Flo thanks her for coming. Damian fights back tears as he calls, “Adios, Elisa”.

Alfonsina enters and asks Dr. Tovar how Gabino is . He is alive but grave. Alfie cuts to the chase, in Edmundo’s best medical opinion, Will Gabino live? Edmundo reiterates that once the specialist sees Gabino they will know more. It is possible, but there is no saying how his cognitive functioning will be. There are many documented cases of a patient recovering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Alfonsina want to know who shot Gabino. It was your son, Edmundo replies. No, no…Alfonsina faints to the floor.

Florencia says she noticed that Damian and Elisa seemed to be having a MOMENT when she came into the cell.  Elisa was crying and very close to you…Damian says he is very anxious in the jail. Flo says she is there to support him.

Damian breaks the news that he thinks that, given the circumstances, they had best cancel the upcoming Church wedding and celebration. Flo is a bit menacing as she replies that it is a shame, many people are counting on the outcome of their marriage. He apologizes and acts the part of the perfectly supportive wife. Don’t worry, Flo croons, what is important is YOU, Damian. Well, your recapper thinks that Flo has more than just a fake-baby up her sleeve. She is being far too nice here for my liking.

The OO-whoo-oo music begins as Horacio, dressed in blue scrubs with a mask over his face comes into Gabino’s room. The scene is a little Shakespearian, as Horacio lowers his mask and says, “Thanks for everything, Gabino. For giving me one last chance to change my life . He gets closer and speaks right into Gabino’s face, “For turning me into a murderer”.

His back is to the camera as Delores walks into the room and addresses him as ‘Doctor’. She asks for permission to enter. He ignores her and doesn’t answer. Elisa walks in and Horacio makes a quick getaway without Delores seeing his face.

Carmina comes in, leans over Gabino and…starts beating him in the chest with her fists. He doesn’t respond. Wow. She calls him an imbecile. Edmundo comes in and asks why Carmina is there. Do they have a relationship? Carmina snaps that Gabino WORKS for her. Then she rags on Edmundo for having a relationship with Gabino’s lover., a woman like THAT. Edmundo defends Ingrid’s honor and makes a delusional statement about his lover, “She is a decent woman, a good woman who has suffered much”. Carmina comes back with, “You are right Edmundo. Ingrid is EXACTLY the kind of woman you deserve”.
