Church Rectory-Gael Kravitz has just busted Damien out and told Alfonsina that Damien has asked Agosto for Elisa’s hand in marriage.  Alfonsina says, “It’s impossible!”  Yeah, it’s true mama, says Damien. I’m just waiting on Agosto to make his decision.  Alfonsina can’t believe that Agosto is allowing Damien on his property.  Damien says that Agosto is able to put away the past, unlike his mother.  She reminds him that Agosto tried to kill him.  He didn’t mean it to do it.  It was all my fault for trying to sneak and marry his daughter.  But, we’re totally buds now that I’m being honest with him.  Gael, now thoroughly pleased with himself for causing grief for Dam, pats his “friend” on the back and promptly excuses himself.  Primero Muerta!  Alfonsina says that she will die before she allows Damien to marry that girl.  I don’t need your cash; I’m educated! I will renounce your name! Alfonsina’s mouth drops open and slams into her chest.  “Hold up!  You don’t want my money?  Who raised you?”  She says that she will have a heart attack.  Well, good night, ma, cuz Elisa and my father-in-law are waiting.  I’ve got to get back to the reception.  Good Luck with that heart attack.  There’s the phone, call 911 if you need anything.  Alfonsina takes her medication. 

Casa de Castanon Home Office-Carmina’s wedding hair looks very pretty, but she is irate!  Agosto and Camina are in the office discussing he and Elisa leaving town.  He tells Carmina that she is not part of the plans that he has with Elisa.  You’re crazy if you think you’re leaving me here and running off with Elisa. (Run, this means she’s going to kill you!)  Not only am I leaving, says Agosto, but you won’t get fifty cents out of me.  You’re in the prime of your life.  Find another gravy train. Carmina tells him that for many years she has been with him through the bad times.  You’re not going to give me any of the cash from selling the property? That’s what I said and that’s what I meant.  Agosto….tick tock tick tock, I’m afraid to say it, but I think you’re time might be up soon.  Stop talking.  Sometimes men don’t know when they’ve gone too far.  Anyways, Carmina says that she is willing to do ANYTHING to stop Agosto from leaving.   

Church-Gael walks into the church and finds Lupe down on his knees praying.  As you may recall, Lupe is freaked out about what Carmina revealed to him about Horacio being Blanca’s murderer.  Lupe tells Gael that he won’t be going to the reception. He asks him to send his apologies to everyone.  He tells Gael that it was wrong of him (Lupe) to encourage Dolores to marry Horacio.  Gael, I need to be alone while I have my nervous breakdown, but don’t worry about me.  I’ll be alright eventually.  Gael tells him that Alfonsina is waiting for him.   Padre asks him to apologize to her as well, then picks up his hat and leaves. 

Reception-Delores is sitting alone and the bride and groom’s table when Elisa goes over and sits down.  Elisa tells Dolores that she looks very beautiful.  Dolores thanks her.  Where’s my groom? (That’s what I wanted to know).  He’s in the house with my father.  Dolores tells Elisa that it’s the best party she’s ever had.  Elisa tells Delores that she loves her very much.  Delores tells Elisa that she loves her too.  Elisa tells Dolores that she needs to speak to her about something important in the morning (after the wedding night). 

Casa de Arango Home Office-Gabino is waiting in office for Alfonsina arrives.  Alfonsina starts yelling about Agosto.  Weeks ago, she told Gabby to find some dirt on Agosto and Agosto is still Mr. Clean.  Gabby says that he hasn’t had the opportunity to do some damage because he’s been trying to solve problems at the procesadora.  What the hell are you talking about?   Gabby tells her that they didn’t get the raw materials in, so the machinery was shut down.  They also didn’t get the habaneros because they couldn’t pay for them.  He tells her that the company is losing money.  Nothing like this ever happened under Rosendo and under him (Gabby) the profits doubled. 

Reception-Why is Damien still Gael’s friend?  Anyways the two of them sit down at a table with the Paloma and Elisa.  Paloma wants to know why Lupe isn’t there.  Gael tells her that the priest sends his apologies.  Paloma and Gael excuse themselves to go speak with Delores (because she had been asking for the padre).  Elisa feels Damien’s tension and asks him what’s wrong.  He tells her about the heated discussion that he had with his mother at Lupe’s house.  They are both wearing their amulets (how cute), but she’s  not wearing wedding hair.  When is she going to lose that halo braid?  It bugs me.  Hmmmmm.  Now that I’m with you, I feel better.  He asks if she would like to dance.  No, she wants to talk to him about something important.  She grabs his hand and leads him away from the party. 

Casa de Arango Home Office-Gabino (he is so hot) opens the door and lets Guido in.  Guido starts yelling at Gabby about making trouble at the procesadora.  After cussing Gabby out a bit, Alfonsina asks Guido to sit down.  He begins to tell her of all of the problems he is having at the procesadora.  The checks are rubber and the banks are stamping everything NSF (not that this re-capper has ever seen such a check-I had to look up the meaning for research).  Anyways, Guido assures Alfonsina that he would clear things up in the morning.  Alfonsina drops the bomb that all of her money has been located because Guido gave the order to transfer all of her money out of the country.  Guido leaps from his seat!  How’d my cash get in your bank account? And you better give me an explanation that I can believe!

Elisa’s Bedroom-Elisa leads Damien into her bedroom.  He protests because he’s promised to keep her pure until their wedding day.  This will only give Agosto another reason to use Damien for target practice.  Dam, calm little Dam down.  That’s not what I brought you here for.  Elisa tells Dam that her father never even considered allowing her to marry Damien.  She explains that Agosto wants to take her away from La Ermita.   They are going to sell everything and leave.  Agosto has changed.  He’s very nice to her and they are going away together.  Damien looks shocked.  Where does this leave me?  Damien, I love you with all of my soul (just not as much as I love my daddy).  She touches his face and gives him a little hug.  She tells him that he can’t image what it feels like to grow up without a father’s love.  She explains that her father has rejected him all of her life (even after her mother died).  Damien has shown a lot of restraint today, because Elisa would be the third person (behind his mother and Gael) on my list of people to punch in the face.  I take that back, she would be number one on the list of people to punch.  Commercial.

Back in Elisa’s Bedroom-I was raised like an orphan.  I’ve given up everything for you!  My mommy, Florencia, my job, my hacienda and my money.  Did I mention that I gave up all of my money for you?  And most of all, I gave up all of my money for you.  Why can’t you do the same?  What about us, Elisa?  Elisa tells Damien that she promised her father that they would leave together and never come back.  Tonight is goodbye.  Damien tells her that she isn’t leaving La Ermita with her father; Damien is taking her with him, even if she doesn’t want to go.   

Casa de Arango Home Office-Guido swears to Alfonsina that he did not transfer the funds into his account.  It’s a surprise to him.  He doesn’t have an explanation.  She points out that he signed all the documents and demands that he admit everything.  He says that he can’t admit something he didn’t do, but he will get the proof.  He marches out of the office and leaves Gabby and Alfonsina alone.  Gabby takes the opportunity to drive home the point that Guido robbed her.  Don’t be a fool!  He’s lying! He’s a player. He’s trying to treat you like a hayseed.  I want my job back.  She tells Gabby to leave. 

Casa de Arango Home Paolo’s Bedroom-Whoa!  Paolo is wearing nothing but a short itty bitty white towel…now let that sink down in your spirit for a minute.  Swirl that all around in your loins.  From now on, I am going to need a two-minute warning to prepare myself before watching scenes like this.  This week, I’m not going to church until Sunday, so I will take the opportunity to describe what I see.  What?  I’m almost like a reporter.  Paolo comes out of the bedroom all oiled up..I mean all wet.  Guido barges into his room and interrupts what could have potentially have been a fantastic drying off scene.  Guido is saying something like I don’t understand how this could have happened.  He tells his Paolo that Alfonsina is accusing him of transferring his money out of the country.  Who cares?  The cameraman has decided to follow Guido at this time, but fortunately not for long.  We cut to Paolo who is standing in front of his headboard putting gel or more oil in his hair.  His arm is up, so at his point, we get a clear shot of all of his muscles from the waist up.  He has waxed every bit of hair from his glistening body.  I don’t know what the shoulder muscles are called, but he definitely has a big pair of them.  I’m not a fan of “waxed hairless Ken Doll type”, but he’s rockin’ it.  Anyways Paolo, pretending not to know how this happened, asks “but how”?  Darn it!  This places the camera back on Guido.  Tell me something Paolo, he asks, did you have anything to do with this?  Now, you’re cooking with grease, Guido.  The camera goes back to Paolo, who is still oiled/wet from the shower.  He feigns hurt that his brother suspects him.  Paolo says that there is no way that he could have accessed the account.  Is he going to need someone to help him dry off?  Can I be that person?  Again, I am not a fan of wax look, but geez!  Guido sits down on the bed.  The camera shows us a full body shot.  Guido believes his brother and asks for his help in clearing his name.  He was just asking because lighting has struck twice.  Guido blames Gabby and Paolo “agrees with him”.  The brothers hug.

Elisa’s Bedroom-Elisa and Damien are still dressed, but he’s getting to her.  Damien is sweet-talking quick and tries begging.  I am a big fan of a begging man.  If that doesn’t work…she’s gay.  He sits her on his lap.  He asks her not to leave with her father.  He wants her to leave with him.  They will go to a place where no one knows them and they can be in love.  I’ll go. I’d leave RIGHT THEN.   It takes everything that she can to pull herself away from him.  Ummmm, he would have had my clothes off by now.  He would have won.  I don’t know how she can stand it.  She begs him not to make her choose between him and her father (there’s no competition).  Agosto wants to buy some land and they will start over.  Elisa can’t reject her father.  He wants to know when Agosto plans to leave.  She tells him that she doesn’t know.  She agreed to leave after the wedding.  Damien promises to come back tomorrow and she will have to choose between him and her father.   He will die fighting for her.  I LOVE DAMIEN. He turns to leave, but she pulls him back to her and sucks his lips off. 

Agosto’s Office-Damien barges into Agosto’s office and cusses him out.  He accuses Agosto of manipulating him until he could get Elisa out of town.  Agosto, silently listens to Damien and calmly drinks his wine.  He’s probably wondering when the police will return his gun so he can shoot Damien again.  Damien tells him that he tried to be up front with him, but it didn’t work.  Damien says that he is taking Elisa. 

Elisa’s Bedroom-Carmina barges into Elisa’s bedroom and cusses her out.  She’s mad about Elisa stealing Agosto.  Carmina tells Elisa that she won’t allow her to take away her only reason for living.  Leave me in peace!  Carmina tells her that Estefania should have taken Elisa with her so that Elisa could have died along with her.  Carmina, that was just mean!  Commericial.

Casa de Arango Home Office-Paolo enters Alfonsina’s office.  Paolo tells her that this was exactly what happened in Mexico.  Guido lost the family’s money.  Paolo is a ssssssssssnake.  He tells her that the Guido almost went to jail for fraud.  He gives her the names and phone numbers of Guido’s associates in Mexico. He tells her to call them; they will tell him the truth.  She wants to know why he is sharing this with her.  Paolo tells her that Guido’s plan was to marry Damien off to Florencia so that he would have access to her money.  Now that Damien and Florencia are done, Guido will now try to get her to fall in love with him.  He says that he tired of Guido acting superior to him and his double moral standards.  I wish Paolo had an “s” in his name.  Well, he’s got one today.  Ssssssssssnakolo. 

Casa de Mickey and Mallory-Gabby tells Ingrid that Alfonsina knows that the money was transferred out of the country.  Ingrid is worried that the money can be transferred back to them.  He tells her not to worry because the money can only be traced back to Guido.  Ingrid wants her share so she can bounce from La Ermita.  Request stamp Denied.  They can’t touch that money for many years.  Paolo and Gabby can’t leave either because it will look as if they’ve got something to hide.  Ingrid’s upset because she doesn’t have any money (Gabby stole all of hers).  He assures her that all of her money is safe in an account under his name. 

Elisa Bedroom-Elisa is packing her ugliest clothes into the suitcase.  Agosto enters her bedroom.  He wants to discuss Damien.  He wants to know if she will change her mind at the last minute.  She promises not to choose Damien over her father.  Dolores come in, sees the luggage and wants to know what’s up?  Agosto tells Dolores that he and Elisa are about to leave La Ermita today.  He tells her that he told Elisa not to tell anyone. 

Witch Mountain-Paloma tells Ramona that Elisa and Agosto are leaving La Ermita for good.  Ramona says that Agosto can’t leave La Ermita without knowing the truth. 

Elisa’s Bedroom-All I’m saying is that Horacio may not have done the job on the boda de noche because Delores is balling over Elisa leaving.  Like deep sobs.  Like somebody died.  Elisa didn’t tell Dolores because she didn’t want to ruin the wedding, but she can leave in peace because Dolores married a good man.  A man that loves her and will give Dolores some kids.  She says that Dolores will forget her as soon as she pushes out the first baby.  Dolores doesn’t think so. 

Rectory-Gael comes out of the bathroom; shirtless.  He must not work out, because he’s always filmed in flashes.  We never get a good look at him.  Maybe he has moobs (man boobs).  Anyways, Damien is quickly packing his bags when Gael walks in.  He’s going to block Elisa from leaving with her father.  Agosto will have to kill him this time.  Can I be Damien and Gabby’s girlfriend?  Don’t judge me.  Damien runs into his uncle.  Lupe asks what the suitcases are for.  Adios, uncle.  Thanks for everything.  Where are you going?  I don’t know.  Gael runs out of the room.  Do you know where Damien is going?  Yeppers.  He’s going to steal Elisa.  Commercial. 

Elisa’s Bedroom-This chick is still packing those ugly clothes that she wears.  She packs the picture of her mother and Blanca.  Horacio must have told Dolores that they will get the house until it’s sold because Dolores has stopped crying.  She voluntarily removes Elisa’s suitcase from the bed.  Dolores wants to know if Elisa is leaving with Damien or Agosto.  Elisa doesn’t know.  Dolores tells her that it’s obvious that she does not want to leave with her father.  Elisa says that Damien has promised to come for her even if her father kills him.  Normally, I would take Agosto’s side, but in this case, I would encourage her to leave with Damien.  Ummmm Damien can do things that fathers can’t do.  Ummmm, well, he can do things with her that would be illegal in most countries for a father to do.  And he’s a great begger.  I love beggars.  Anyways, Dolores tells her that if Damien says that he’s coming….Damien is coming.  Expect him.  Dolores hopes that Damien comes before they leave. 

Alfonsina’s Bedroom-Alfonsina tells Guido that she wants him to admit his guilt and give back all over benjamins.  Guido tells Alfonsina that he loves her and that her mistrust hurts him.  Now?  Now? He tells her?  Dude!  This makes you look totally guilty!  I wouldn’t believe you either.  She opens the door and invites him out of her bedroom. 

Master Bedroom Casa de Arango-Agosto takes his suitcase off of the bed.  Carmina begs him not to leave and blocks the way.  She wants him to take her with him.  He will have to kill her before he abandons her like a dog.  He tells her dead or alive, it’s her decision and shoves her out of the way.  She screams for Agosto not to leave her. 

Alfonsina’s Bedroom Guido tries to tell Alfonsina that he’s innocent and again, declares his feelings for her.   They are in still in front to the opened door.  He touches her face and tries to kiss her.  IDIOT!!!!!!   He assures her that he would never hurt her.  She rejects his attempt (as she should), and asks him what kind of woman do you think I am?  She’s only ever been in love with one man and that man was Saint Rosendo Arango, her dead husband.   In her life there is room for no other man.  Ummm, I have some guest waiting for you in the foyer. 

Casa de Arango Foyer-Guido is certainly going to jail.  Do Not Pass Go.  Do Not Collect $200.  When they step out of the bedroom, Florencia runs over to her father.  “I don’t understand what’s going on!”  Gabby informs Guido that the police are waiting for him.  This episode is so awesome.  SSSSSSSSSPaolo, Gabby, Maru, Braulio, Florencia are there too.  It’s like a Colombo mystery and all of the suspects are in the foyer.  Maybe I mean it’s like the Clue game.  Guido turns to Alfonsina.   I am going to give you one more opportunity Guido.  Tell me how my money got into your account and we forget all this happened.  I don’t know.  Please believe me!  She brings up the incident in Mexico.  She tells him that she called all of his business associates in Mexico and she is still reeling from all that she’s learned.  He sunk everybody.  He confirms that it happened.  His associates accused him of fraud, but they couldn’t prove it.  She tells him that she’s enough proof to make him rot in jail. 

Casa de Tovar-Dr. Tovar is in his house and in his bed.  Mrs. Kravitz asks if he would like her to bring him breakfast in bed.  He says that he just wants to take a shower.  She asks why he made them leave the reception so quickly.  It was rude.  She wants to know about his conversation with Agosto.  He tells her that Agosto tells him that he was going to leave the party.  Since Agosto was leaving, Dr. Tovar didn’t think that they should stay. 

Casa de Arango Foyer Guido is still insisting that he hasn’t done anything.  He says that there is no proof against him.  Maru has bought the paperwork and copies of the checks with Guido’s signature.  This proves that he took all of the money from the procesadora accounts.  Large amounts of money have been withdrawn for no reason.  Guido agrees that the signatures look like his; but insists they he did not sign the documents.  He blames Gabby.  This is awesome!  SSSSSSSSSSSPaolo agrees that Gabby could have had something to do with this.  Gabby says that Paolo is just upset because Gabby fired him.  Gabby says that Alfonsina made him do it.  He says that since Guido took over, Gabby was not allowed in any of the business deals.  Braulio steps forward and defends Gabby.  He even says that when Gabby ran the company, not a single penny disappeared.  Alfonsina tells Guido to admit the truth.  Florencia begs her father to give the money back and stop this.  Guido says that he can’t believe that his own kid doesn’t believe him.  I didn’t steal anything!  In that case, accept the consequences, says Alfonsina, she tells the cops to take him away.    

Casa de Castanon-Agosto asks Elisa if she is ready to go.  He grabs her bags and tells her that he will burn, I mean put the ugly clothes in the van while she says goodbye to Dolores.  Yeah!  Damien barges in.  Agosto demands to know what he’s doing there.  Damien says that he’s come for Elisa.   He asks Elisa if she’s going with him or if she’s going with her father.  He tells Elisa that this time Agosto will have to kill him, because that’s the only way she’s leaving La Ermita without him. Agosto pimp slapped Damien….or was it a bitch slapped? I don’t know.  Alls I know is that Damien went down, but he got up again.  He tells Agosto to kill him, but he’s taking Elisa with him. Only death will keep him from her.  I love Damien.  Elisa tells her father that she can’t let Damien go.  She’s gonna choose Damien.  Good choice!  Damien tells Agosto to give them one good reason besides my father sleeping with your wife that I can’t sleep with your daughter.  Carmina comes in and demands that Agosto tell them the truth.  Agosto tells her to be quiet!  Carmina tells them that they have the same father.  Yes, Pinky, you have been making out with your sister!  Well, in my opinion, that is a good reason.  Credits.
