Abismo de pasión #86 7/11/12: of waterworks, blunt objects (or ones we would like to have at hand to hit AssGuss and Dam on head) and gag bags...

 Recap by Martaivette

Tonight’s ep is all about different levels of three things: waterworks, blunt objects and gag bags…

waterworks (5 levels): small bathroom faucet drop by drop leak, water fountain stream, kitchen sink faucet stream, firehose and Niagara falls

blunt objects(5 levels): finger tips, big cooking spoon, skillet, caveman club and full size hammer

gag bags (5 levels): bakery single donut bag, lunch paper bag, groceries paper bag, 13 lb trash bag, and contractor bag

ah yes, we did have some treat with shirtless Paolo, Damian and at the end an even better shirtless Gabino, but I will digress. I was not in mood trying to send consolation to Gael via telepathy…

Refrito:

BeGoneYa gloats to the other woman (well, you would be laughing so hard at her expense you might have the 1^st level waterworks going but she deserves to be hit with blunt level 2 object)… ‘my husband is a great man’ then walks in the cafeteria and finds Inmundo and II hugging, makes the wrong conclusion and then has the ‘wanna get away?’ moment (she probably wants to hide her face in gag bag no. 3) when Inmundo tells her II just lost her daughter, the dead woman floating in the lake. ‘pobre mujer!’

Gabino at blue house receives a very traumatized II(ww #2), Gab spits his tequila all over (needs bo #3)… it was my daughter!. the dead body of a woman in the lake was my daughter! And Carmina killed her!! I want you to kill her!!

AssGus arrives home and is miffed at still finding Carmina there… (AG, I will gladly hand you BO # 4)

What are you still doing here?? GET OUT!! / what can I do to have you forgive me? / nothing short of winning the top prize for disappearing act. / (CHA-SHUN!!, out comes her armed with the shotgun) /what are you doing with that? / it was in your study. / it was locked with key! /not anymore. (C points the sg at herself own neck in a show of intention to commit suicide, ok woman, spare us any more anxiety and do it already!)/ I will shoot and you will deal with the remorse for the rest of your life / go ahead (andale!)

Lo Nuevo:

A:If you think you should do that is because you cannot live with your conscience. andale! Shoot!.. what are you waiting for?... (Carmina falls to the floor either a) stressed out, b) low on iron blood level, or c) overwhelmed and exhausted at lifting the shotgun ) it is the last night you spend here at the quinta. No more extended reservations. I have been already too lenient with you.

Gabino arrives to quinta… brings Assgusto the contract of sale of Cielo Abierto. AssG wants to keep it to read it over. Gab tries to convince him to sign now.. here is the CERTIFIED check!.. I told you I want to read it. / I hope you don’t back off on the deal because you won’t find a better buyer/deal.

At Lucio’s, Lucio argues with AssGusto, you are an idiot If you sell the farm to Gab… But I need the money to pay Elisa’s debt! (get BO no. 3 ready, please someone!)  Gab is willing to buy it! / you are making a huge mistake! / I have no choice (ok, HIT HIM with BO #3! Or hand over GB no. 2). It really hurts to have to sell the lands I have worked since I was young (believe me, man when I am done with BO #4 with you you will REALLY be hurting!). I feel like a failure, as a farmer, as a man, and even as a father. (WW no. 2 moment for audience.. NOT!) / you don’t have to feel that way, I know your daughter feels proud of you despite everything. (now it is ww no.1 moment for audience) / even if she has forgiven me I have been away from her so long that I don’t know how to deal with her (Another blow with BO #3, please!) / that will come naturally. How is it going so far? / well, we have been getting close and we talked calmly. All we need is for Carmina to leave. After that we will be fine, I want to dedicate completely to building our relationship / happy to hear that.

Elisa/Lolita… they are still discussing Carmina’s lies about Elisa’s origin.. Lolita mad about Carmina’s lies for so long. / you are right, I have plenty reason to hate my aunt but I don’t want to waste my time in hatreds that will only make me more bitter… (ok BO no.2 with Elisa so she will stop that pitty ride!) / ’ahi viene la senora’ …(looks at Carmina) you have not packed your bags, right?... (in runs BeGoneYa to tell Carmina in front of Elisa and Lolita that the dead woman is Kenya, the one that was your husband’s lover).. Elisa and Lolita impactadas (ww no. 1, if any, they are totally frozen with the news), so is Carmina (this one needs a half dozen valiums, or to be knocked out with BO no5).

At bar, AssGusto is drinking again, tells waiter he is waiting for someone else …  In comes Damian. AssGusto had called for him to come meet him.  AssGus puts out his hand for a handshake, Dam reluctant to accept since last time was not so nicely received. Don’t understand why you called me to come if all was said last time we met / no, not all was said. I wanted to talk to you face to face as once you requested it.  I know you are a man through and through, not as your father. (COUGH COUGH!) / I am not in mood to talk about my father (ok, bo no.3 with him) / we have to talk about him! He put his passion ahead of everything else… You have no idea the pride I feel about my daughter, my Elisa, she is a warrior, a fighter. She has lived through struggles she did not deserve, but she is still going on. She is beautiful, strong, loyal, has many qualities. / Don A, I know who is Elisa real well. I fell in love with her for all you are saying and much more. And for the same reasons my life is falling apart for having to force myself to stop loving her. / you don’t have to. / Why are you telling me this? / your dad is not here, I don’t know if it is much value to you, but I am here for you. I know you since you were kid playing in my backyard. You climbed our trees to get the birds for Elisa. I respect you. I recognize as an old man I still have things to learn from you. Dam, I am not your father but from now on I want to consider you my son (arm stretched again and this time Dam smiles and shakes it) (awww… ww no. 3 at least on audience’s side, well, at least for those who can stomach AssGusto’s rebirth and Dam’s opinion of Elisa even with his acting so stoopid).

CB 1

Gael walking down sidewalk, near clinic, sort of stressed, runs into Inmundo..

G: Do you all know who it is?/ yes we know now… (I guess we never see the moment Gael finds out.. sigh!)

Still at bar, AssGus thanks Dam.. / well if you are happy for what I told you I need to tell you something else../ (Gael comes.. upset) /G:  the body we found is my sister Kenya… (Dam stands and hugs Gael in support. Gael visibly upset…)

At Castigo quinta, the four women are still slowly reacting (like in slow-mo)… Lolita reminds Elisa about the letter she found that Kenya had written for AssGusto where she wanted him to meet her at cenote… Elisa tells Lolita AssGus told her he never went to see Kenya. (Carmina is very scared)… Elisa says Kenya was desperate to talk to him… Elisa leaves, she has to go find Gael to be with him.

Carmina tries to make her exit to her room… BeGoneYa offers to accompany her, but Carmina says thanks but no thanks… BeGoneYa leaves. Lolita will go make tea. /thank you Lolita / but I will fix it for myself. All this has impressed me. If you want one go make it yourself. (one of my fav moments of the ep for sure, Lolita sure knows how to act defiant to Carmina, esp now that they know about her lies. Lolita is welcome to grab any BO she desires to smack Carmina on the head with it)

Gabino calls Carmina… II left him, she left town. / when did she leave? / last night. I came back and she was gone. But why so curious about her? / nothing, but her daughter showed up dead. They just identified the body a few hours ago. / do you want the blue house or not? / I don’t know / if you don’t need it I can stay / I need a place to live, besides that is MY house. / understood. (he hangs up, turns out II is there, seems they have a plan against Carmina or at least he is making II believe he is on board with it.)

CB 2

Ramona and Pal at hut, Ramona hopes they already identified the body. Now will you tell me what happened with Gael? / there is nothing to say, we just broke up. He will never stop thinking of Elisa. (would someone hand me BO no. 3 so I can smack Pal out of her pathetic attitude?) / So much worse for him, Elisa will never look at him, her love belongs to another and that will never change. / That changed, because Elisa and Dam can never love each other… funny you have not heard, it seems both are children of Rosie’s. (boy Pal, you are so behind in the town gossip… but you have been stuck on yourself) / where did you hear that nonsense? / Ah sure, THAT is silly (no, girl, YOU are stoopid, which is a different problem altogether), it gives Gael a hope to still be with Elisa. But I am the dumb that can never get anything right.. (You said it, girl!) / time to fix all this. Now even my own folks are involved-affected by it / what are you going to do now? / I know my game. But this time only death will stop me from telling the truth. (another empty vow from Ramona? We will see)

At Rectory Elisa comes to find Gael.. tells Loopy that Kenya was found dead at the lake… Loopy impactado (Gael and Dam come in, Loopy looks at him wordless, total eye to eye communication there) .. Elisa offers her support for Gael. I love you.. / I love you, Elisa. (hug) My Elisa. (Dam watches the hug/crying from behind, he closes the door and leaves). (ww no. 2 for audience?) Loopy suggests to Elisa to go find Dam. Gael begs her to stay for 5 min. (sad puppy face on Gael… here here, let Elisa go, I will  hug you myself) Loopy tries to say something else, but Gael tells him AssGus is waiting for him at church, Loopy hugs Gael and offers some comforting words, then leaves. (I’m on WW no.4, can’t help it)

E: I am sorry for what happened to Kenya. I imagine how you feel. You met her so recently and she was your sister.

G: Not only that. She was the only family I had.

E: We all are here, and we are (your family) too. Loopy, myself, Ingrid is your mother. (ww moment no 3 at least)

G: Ingrid. She is not my  mom just because she gave birth to me. (hmm... I guess II had that coming, even if it is rough to say about the grieving mother at this precise moment)

E: She must be suffering too. (exactly)

G: What suffering?! I am sure she is not feeling anything for what happened (well, Gael, you don’t really know, do you?)… everything is wrong, everything is … tangled… Ingrid came a while back asking for my help. I sent her away…(precisely why you should give her some slack right about now, ww no. 3 moment)

E: I know how it must hurt you .. I know it hurts to know she abandoned you. but she is your mother and she needs you. don’t let rancor drive/blind you. You don’t know what I would give to have my mother with me. (Memo to Elisa: this is NOT ALL ABOUT YOU! IT’S about GAEL, remember?) Don’t waste the chance to be near her. ( I am still trying to troubleshoot my ww no. 4 issue, not quite at no. 5 yet though)

Loopy/AssGus at church

Loopy: I thought you had forgotten how to make the sign of the cross.

A: its been a while but I did not forget. I remember when you told me I had gone away from God.

L: and I remember telling you that you had lost your faith.

A: It is not until now that I dare get on my knees and ask God for forgiveness for my mistakes.

L: You are a good man. ( ww no. 1 heading to no.2)

A: I not only ruined my daughter’s life but also the life of a young girl who died for my cause.

(ok first Lucio and now Loopy have to hear him on this self-blame stance.. GB no.3!!)

L: Don’t say that.

A: Maybe coming here is no use. (you are so far messed up, man, that you may be right, GB4!! GB4!!)

L: Don’t doubt God’s mercy. He will always give us forgiveness. God always listens, forgives and offers redemption to whoever is repentant of their sins. (is he somehow talking to Carmina as well?.. anyway sounds like GB no. 2 or ww no.3, depending on how you feel about AssGusto)

CB 3

Outside the butcher shop Horacio is just closing and walking away… runs into Dam on street… Dam is happy Horacio is doing well with the business… Horacio notices Dam is sad.. its Elisa (oh no, here we go again with self pity ww or gb no. 2). I knew she would go to Gael’s arms and I knew it would happen sooner or later but it is still tough to watch. / I know from Lolita that Elisa is suffering too / Yeah maybe but I knew Elisa would get over it. … about AssGus, I knew she would be able to forgive him… (Dam leaves not wanting to talk about Elisa anymore). (ww or gb no. 2)

At confessional in church.. (the ww and/or gb continues… but I still say hit AssGusto with BO no.3 and take him out of his misery)

A: Kenya was pretty and seductive. She confused me. I could not get her out of my head.

L: For the love of God, she was younger than your daughter.

A: I could not help it.

L: Did you have anything to do with her?

A: Not further than a kiss… I think she killed herself when I broke up any contact with her.

L: (not agreeing that AssGus is to blame for Kenya’s death.. loudly) in any case, if she killed herself, it was on her own initiative/decision. She always knew you were married and much older and your relationship was impossible.

A: I could have dealt with her in a different way. I did not have the sensibility or the reasoning to do things the right way. I feel responsible.

L: YOU are not!! Even if you keep blaming yourself, … (makes the sign of the cross to finish rite of reconciliation..) .. I hope your soul will find some peace.

CB 4

Ramona shows up at Castigo Manor’s backyard. Lolita finds her.

Ramona came to find AssGusto. Lolita has no idea when he will be back. Invites Ramona to coffee in kitchen. Ramona accepts. But at that moment Horacio gets home, Ramona gives him the sting stare ( I am sure she would rather have BO no.3 at hand) tells Lolita she changed her mind about the coffee, will leave instead. Just tell AssGusto to go find me at my house, have something very important to tell him. Lolita barks at Horacio  and reminds him that Ramona always said there is something fishy about him.

AssGus and Loopy at church.

Now that I am here, wan t to talk to you about something else… about Carmina. When everything was cleared, at that moment I was so confused I could not ask you… what?... how you knew Carmina had lied about Elisa’s origin. … Just my intuition.... But you were so sure, you were willing to talk if she would not. She only talked because she felt threatened… I already told you, it was just a sixth sense! I will repeat to you what I told Elisa. I knew your wife Stefie very well, and know she would not have lied to you about something so important. You have always believed the contrary, but Stefie never failed you, never betrayed you, she only loved YOU. … what are you trying to tell me father? Don’t give me half stories… so sorry, AssGusto, but I can’t tell you anymore than I have already told you (dang! That is just like hitting AG with BO no.3)… I feel like you have something else important to tell me… I only can tell you to go talk to Ramona… Ramona? What does she have to do with all this? … you just do as I say, go find her! It is time to clear everything up!... (and please!! For the love of GOD!!, don’t have any accidents, get accidentally shot or thrown from your horse on the way, lets get this done once and for all!! Or I will kill you myself with BO no. 5!!)

Quique arrives home and finds Sabrina with Paolo there (Ok, Paolo is shirtless but I am not in the mood, sorry), gets mad and wants to kick him out. But Sabrina does not let him kick out Paolo. Quique goes on to his room, Paolo tells Sabrina not to worry, that Quique is just mad that Flo sent him packing again (someone please hand me BO no. 3 and I will kick Paolo out of the Tovar house myself!)..

At Dam’s bedroom Flo is planning their future life in Mex City (yes, again!!)… Dam says WHOA!! don’t go so fast, we will talk to my uncle Loopy to begin the planning of the wedding… I am dying to be your wife, to sleep with you every night… (they sleep together again, again Dam is shirtless but I am more sick than turned on by it because of his company… excuse me I have to run to the bathroom or look for GB no.4)… During the lovemaking, Dam calls her Elisa, Flo gets mad and  shuts the door and yells at her that it is the pits that he thinks of Elisa… I will remind you Elisa is my sister, my love for her cannot exist, so you don’t have to be jealous. Right now the only woman for me is you.  (GB no.2 or better moment)

AssGus goes to Elisa’s room, notices she hides something when she realizes he is there, he gets mad and reminds her they agreed to have no secrets for each other(ok, is this the man who kept to himself that he believed her to be Rosie’s child for how many years? Hit him with BO no.3 please!)… Elisa was hiding the letter she had found from Kenya. AssGus asks why did you not tell me until now?…you did not want to hear anything else about Kenya, and I did not want you to fall in her game again… I had no idea Kenya’s situation would go so far with me (BO no.2 moment or GB no.2)… what happened with Kenya was not your fault (oh please, don’t start again!)…. Some time you blamed me about your mother’s death… lets not talk about anything bad… I talked to Dam… (Elisa not happy about that) what did you tell him? … the truth, that I cared about him, that I respected him… I don’t want you to talk to him about me… but dear, Dam is a good man, and he is very much in love with you, and I would like you to find the happiness you have never had (hmmm. Gb no.2?)… thank you for worrying about me… I love you… I love you more dad.. (he leaves, she cries and grabs her amulet… FF>>)

 (ww no.2 AND gb no.2 at same time)

Lolita runs into AssGusto… Did Carmina leave? / yes, but she did not take her bags/oranges/passionfruit/ apricots/peaches/habaneros/orange no.3 self-tanning spray with her. Dona Ramona came looking for you, said for you to go see her because she has something important to tell you. / about what? / she just said that. (again, please no accidents, getting shot, falling off the horse, or rescuing anyone on your way please!)

Carmina finds Gabino digging a hole… / what are you doing? / I am digging your grave, Carmina. Sorry but Ingrid asked me to kill you for what you did to her daughter. (shoots an empty gun? .. had to laugh this was the funniest moment of the episode, Carmina’s face is priceless…)

AssGus sitting by the edge of the lake, which is a creepy location for reading Kenya’s letter, which is mostly a love declaration, ‘my life has no meaning without you..’ (no word about Carmina or about wanting to talk to him about Stefie or Elisa or anything else)

Ramona comes to him and says she had been waiting for him... here is where they found Kenya, right?… Kenya? I Did not know they had identified the body… Lolita told me you came looking for me, and Loopy wanted me to talk to you. It is for the same thing, right? … what I wanted to tell you was that Elisa and Damian are not siblings… I know that already. I am just surprised you know all these things… (Ramona tells him about the night Stefie and Rosie died, that the car was coming inbound, not outbound. AssGus does not want to hear whatever else she has to say (and if you don’t listen, man, I will personally kill you with BO no.5 right now and get YOUR and OUR agony over with!!)… You won’t go anywhere until I tell you everything I know about that  night, and then you make your own conclusions about who was supposed to be in the car with Rosie, if Stefie, or her sister.. Carmina.( THERE!! FINALLY!!! Now lets see if he can handle the TRUTH!! Good, cause I am tired already of swinging that skillet at his head by now!)

Prev:

A: What did Stefie say before dying? …

Gab pointing gun to Carmina.

Elisa walks into church to find Dam and Flo, Flo happily announces to Elisa that she and Dam will get married. Elisa very upset but dry eyes… Dam sad. (GB no.4 final moment of the night)

I was so busy getting all the wording but I did get to see some of the wordless facial acting on Gael, Loopy, Lucio and even Lolita… very nicely done… LOVED Salvador’s and Sabina’s faces in the last scene with Gab and Carmina too.

I am jumping for Joy that Ramona FINALLY was able to get with AssGusto!!
