Refugio Para el Amor #68-69 Thu 7/12/12 Everyone is Pithed and Lorenzo and Luci Have Lots Of Guardian Angels



Part I

Mexico City:

Gala, Julie and Frigid are meeting in the cafe. Frigid is telling them the latest gossip she heard while listening in on the phone extention, between Max and Rosa. She tells them what she has will be worth alot of money. Julie doesn't want to pay until she hears the dirt. Well, Frigid says ok, then how about this. This Luci is not a Nortena at all, but wait for it, the daughter of Aurora Linares! Julie and Gala are so shocked! Julie wants to know how Luci ended up in the North then. They don't want to think about that, could be a crime. Frigid has really rubbed it in, and Gala says, oh noes, she could be in our class! The horror! Gala gives Frigid a check, but it looks like she doesn't like the amount.

Rosa has gone to the cemetary and is talking to the guy that takes care of the graves. He tells her he put baby clothes in Aurora's grave, but since Rosa never told him if the baby was a boy or a girl, it is a hodge podge. He also warns her that if anyone ever finds out he desecrated that grave, he ain't goin down alone, and they will end up in jail. Rosa is shocked!

Rod goes to Lastra's office and punches him right in the face, hauls Lastra's butt over to his desk and smashes his face right on that desk top. Rod wants Lastra to admit Luci never robbed him. Lastra yells right back that Lorenzo certainly robbed him and he is Luci's brother. By now Hot Pithed Rod has Lastra by the throat and tells him Lorenzo has plenty of back up and stop with the robbing accusations. Hot Pithed Rod, who is still DEAD TO ME, by the way, tells Lastra the next time Lastra makes accusations he will end up in the hospital or in jail. Hot Pithed Rod leaves and Lastra is sitting at the desk, yelling Maldito Torreslanda! He has a huge bruise up side his face!

Hanna, Melissa, Lula and Boris are hatching a plan about getting Luci and Rod to talk to each other.

Julie is thinking and (when doesn't she ever plot and plan?) says we really need to find out this secret, is it Max or Claudio? Gala of course doesn't really beleive Frigid got it right. Gala is still stuck on the fact that Rod and Luci are probably sibs. Gala now says we have to find out if that domestica (drink! Thanks Vivi, we will be drunk by the time this epi ends, jus' sayin, lol) is Max's or Claudio's and even if Aurora had a child. Gala says if we find out she is Claudio's daughter, he is the #1 enemy of Max, it could effect the future of Torreslanda. This is very serious! Julie is only thinking of the money that will sadly NOT come her way, if this is true, but Gala is worried about the future, not the fortune. Julie wants to enjoy that fortune, um, I mean Gala to enjoy that money, but Julie is worried that chacha will really benefit. What to do? What to do?

Rod has made it back to the office, and Marcos and Gabe are giving him hell for going to confront Lastra alone. Rod says he has to confront this alone. Rod says he wants Lastra to stop with the lies (Note to Rod: But not your loca mama or the other two b/witches)? Marcos tries to tell Hot Pithed Rod that he and Luci are the victims of chisme, Yay, Marcos. Well Rod says did you know Luci is a very good friend of Claudio Linares, my dad's #1 Enemy! How could she be friends with him? (Note to Rod: Poor little Luci has no idea about the fraud).

Vio and Polo are having a big yuk at Lastra's expense. Seems he won't leave his office. He has had a couple of visitors and isn't happy. Ivan sees them yukking it up and tells them to get back to work, already.

Het Het:

Don Aquiles is very pithed at Copio for his handling of things while he was away, plus Dona Luchita met him at the bus stop, instead of Copio and he trusted Copio. Don A says something about seeing this with his own eyes. Don A tells Copio to Largate and gives poor ole Copio a kick in the rump! And guess who has come calling on Don A again? That's right Dona Luchita who has flowers in her hair and a bouquet just for the Don. She calls him Bishon. Copio hightails it out of there. She is wanting to recipercate that noche di amor, but he tells her, she is pretty, but not for him. She is on the chase. She tells him it isn't important what he thinks and she hugs him. He looks like he wants to barf.

While ole Don A is distracted by Dona Luchita, Magda, Paz and Ariche are at the bus stop waiting for that bus to take them to the D.F. Ariche is excited to finally see Rod and Luci, Magda is excited to see Vio, who she hasn't seen in years, and Paz is excited to finally see Lorenzo and Luci, who she is very, very worried about.

Boston, Massachusetts:

Max is phoning home to talk to Rosa. Max gives Rosa the latest update on Pato. He wants to know how she is and how is Hanna? He hasn't heard from her. Max says, Rosa sounds preoccupied. and she says its personal. He tells her, her craziness is keeping HIM preoccupied.

Max and Pato are having a little convo in the hospital room. Pato wants to know what happened to make Max fall in love with Rosa. Max tells him it is the way she talked and her eyes! (Are you freaking kidding me? Well, maybe that was "before" she became loca.). Pato asks him, well since you are so in love with Mama, why are you looking and hooking up with a woman that is way too young for You? Max is shocked! Max tells Pato not to ask him these things, and Pato says, oh, so you won't answer, huh? Max says he wants Pato to think of how he is helping Pato get well.

Pato and Max are in the hospital room and the Dr. is giving Pato his excellent prognosis. He should be getting more range of motion in his hands and little by little his arms. But he needs therapy. Max says there are excellent therapists in Mexico City. The Dr, tells Max he wants to see Pato in three months. He assures Max and Pato, that Pato has an excellent chance at recovery.

Mexico City:

Vio brings Lastra a drink to his office. He has a really big bruise on his face, that is turning colors. She wants to know what is up with that. He says five wretches that's what!

Luci is at home, trying to occupy herself with studying for that prepa test, when Hanna calls her. Hanna says to meet her at the cafe near her prepa so they can have coffee, (Now Hanna and her gang of friends, Boris, Lula, Melissa are listening into this convo and are so proud they are setting this up). Luci agrees and hangs up. As soon as Hanna hangs up with Luci, Hanna calls Rod and tells him the same thing, to meet Hanna for coffee. He also agrees. Luci goes to the courtyard and sees Marianita,and guess who strolls in, that's right, Claudio is back! Luci tells him she is going to meet "Hanna" for coffee and he offers to take her there. She doesn't want to bother him, but he tells her come on let's go.

Vicky is in the salon, crying her eyes out, over her papa being fired, and Nicole is trying to comfort her, which doesn't last long. Aldo comes to see Vicky. She is way pithed at him. Aldo insists on talking to Vicky alone. Vicky is running away from Aldo. She tells Aldo this is the consequence of seeing Aldo and being Max's lover and that's why her Papa Jer got fired. Vicky says all your stupid pranks caused all this grief for me, (Note to Vicky: Too bad you didn't lower your voice cause your boss Nicole just heard every word you just said) and now Vicky is truly pithed.

Claudio and Luci are now in the car, going to that cafe, and Claudio is asking her why she is so indignant about love. He tells her love isn't correct, it just is. Love also involves respect. Luci tells Claudio she thinks Hot Pithed Rod doesn't love her anymore. Luci switches the subject to Pato, and tells Claudio Pato is the in the States, getting treatment, and Pato is like an angel, just like Claudio. Claudio then tells Luci to put Lorenzo in his hands and he will take good care of him. He asks Luci if she is really prepared to divorce Hot Pithed Rod. He tells her to be sure she knows what she is doing and to be calm. Meanwhile, Hot Pithed Rod has pulled up behind Claudio's car. Claudio tells Luci you should really look for Rod and talk to him again. Meanwhile behind them Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod sees them hug. Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod, leaves after seeing this. Claudio tells Luci she so reminds him of his dead wife Aurora, she is intelligent, and listens to him. Claudio tells Luci he will handle her divorce, take care of Lorenzo's case and not to worry bout a thing. Luci thanks him. He has brought her back a present from Europe, it is a beautiful porcelian doll. She thanks him for that, and says she'll go now. He gets out the car and opens the door for her. She hugs him and goes.

After Claudio drops Luci off he goes to see poor Lorenzo in jail. Claudio tells him Luci told him he was there. Lorenzo tells Claudio he is sorry for screwing things up , not really, and he's sorry and please don't leave him in the hoosegow. Lorenzo tells Claudio that Lastra really has it in for him, and Claudio tells him not only you but your sister too, and I'm going to talk to him cause he ain't gettin away with it this time.

Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod is hopping mad, how could she be hugging that Linares dude in public (Note to Rod: Oh, Dios Mio get a grip already) Rod seems to think there is a little somethin', somethin' goin on with Luci and Claudio. How could she hug my papa's #1 enemy?

Meanwhile Luci is waiting at that cafe, all alone. She asks the waiter the time and he tells her it is five past three, way past the appointed time. Luci goes to a payphone and calls Hanna, who is with her gang minus one, Lula, and asks Hanna if everything is ok, cause she is like waiting for her. Hanna lets it slip, oh, what Hot Head Rod didn't meet you there. Now Luci is pithed, she doesn't want to talk to Hot Head Rod and hangs up on poor Hanna. The gang can't figure out what went wrong. Hanna immediately calls Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod, who basically says he didn't want to talk to Luci either. She was hugging Claudio Linares, you know that dude is papa's #1 enemy, Hanna tells Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod that he adores Luci and Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod isn't hearing Hanna, she wants to explain about Claudio being with Luci , but Hot
Way Beyond Pithed Rod hangs up on her too!

Luci has made it home with her little dolly and Vio is there and sees it. Vio thinks Rod gave it to her. Luci says no Hanna the sly girl, tried to set up a meet with Rod, but Luci is pithed cause she thinks Rod could care less about her or love her anymore.

Aldo goes to see Hot Pithed Rod in his office and informs him that Don J was let go on the orders of Tio Max. Hot Pithed Rod can't get a break today. He tells Aldo that that can't be true, his Papa Max is in Boston with Pato. Aldo explains that Don Jer was probably let go cause he was "seeing" Vicky, and Hot Pithed Rod is remembering the time he and Pato saw Vicky with Papa Max. Aldo tells Hot Pithed Rod that Tio Max is very strict, but this is way too much. Rod is pithed. Don J is very respected and Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod tells Aldo it's all his fault and NOT Don J's. Rod tells Aldo he is not to see Vicky anymore.Rod really wants to know if Aldo likes Vicky. Aldo tells Rod he truly likes her, but she is involved with another who is better than Aldo, and has lots of money. (Note to Rod: hint, hint).

We are back at the salon now, and Vicky is getting her clip job from Nicole. Nicole is pithed to find out that not only was Vicky seeing Aldo but that she now finds out that Vicky is the amante of Max, the husband of her best client Senora Torreslanda! She wants to fire Vicky. Vicky begs her not to, since her Papa just got fired. Vicky is begging Nicole. Nicole says ok, but I give you a week, straighten out, or I'm done with you. Vicky is now very pithed and crying.

Pato and Rosa are talking on the phone. She is happy Pato is coming back. She wants to talk to Max. Max gets on the phone and tells Rosa they will be home manana. She is very happy and tells them she'll be waiting. She turns to Frigid and Mati and informs them Pato is coming home. She wants to make sure his room is properly prepared. Mati is excited, Frigid, eh not so much.

Rod calls Max. Max tells Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod that he has called Rosa and informed her, he and Pato are coming back first thing in the am. Rod is happy to hear this and tells Max he hasn't spoken to Rosa. Now Hot Way Beyond Pithed Rod is telling his Daddy, so I guess you must be justified in firing Don J all cause of Vicky eh? Max is now pithed. Hot Head Rod has calmed down somewhat and tells his daddy this so aint right, fix it already.

Frigid, Hanna, and Mati are all in the kitchen and Mati is making Pato a cake for his happy homecoming (Ed Note: I swear she is making a pound cake, due to the amount of eggs she is cracking into that mixer, jus' sayin'). Mati asks after Rod and Luci, and Hanna wants them to reconcile. Frigid is openly listening, no need to hide behind the pillar this time, and hears every word.

Gala is in her office and tells her assistant, whose name is Bella, that she wants her to look into Claudio Linares and to see how he and Max are connected. Gala specifically wants the info on the fraud and how/why Claudio ended up in jail for twenty years.

Hanna and Melissa have come to beard Hot Head Rod in his lion's den. Hanna is pithed at him for not waiting around for Luci. Well, Hot Head Rod is so not into Hanna's little games. Melissa tries to intervene to get Hot Head Rod to listen, he is yelling he is sick of lies and Melissa tries to calm him down. Missy wants him to listen to them, at least. Missy tells him he will regret not listening to them, and by that time it will be too late.

There is a short scene here of Luci and Fabian, about how Fabian is worried for Lorenzo and Paz, Luci is worried about Magda and Paz, showing up for the wedding that isn't and if Claudio can help Lorenzo out of this jam, if not they are up the creek without a paddle. Luci is waiting to hear from Claudio.

Magda, Paz and Ariche have finally arrived in the D.F. They stop at a statue of the Virgin of Guadaloupe and each prays for a different reason,except Ariche. They thank the Virgin for getting to the D.F. safely, Magda prays for happy to be seeing Vio at last, Paz is praying for Lorenzo and Luci to be ok (sorry that pie cart has already hit all of them) and Ariche just wants to go already!

Luci is in Claudio's office and he has the paperwork all ready for her divorce. He wants her to really think about it before she signs it. Luci says its best this way, and he hands her the pen. She thinks about the happy time, not long ago, when she and Rod were getting married and signing the registar. She gives not one more moment of thought and signs the divorce demand!

Part II

After signing those divorce papers, Luci puts down that pen and cries like a baby. Claudio embraces her and cries too. One of Luci's big fat tears falls right on the line, Hot Head Rod is supposed to sign! Claudio tells Luci he wants her to be happy. She tells Claudio that marriage to Rod just can't be. She wants to know what happens next. He says the papers will be presented to Rod and that then both must appear before the judge. Oh, Luci is so NOT down with that. Claudio tells her, he is sorry about that, but it is part of the process. Luci doesn't want to see Rod at all.

Ok, now we have a lucious looking Rod, in just a teeny towel, too small for him, strutting around in his apartment. Oopsie, sorry, got carried away, forgot for a second ROD IS DEAD TO ME. Okay, now Rod is seeing that wedding dress box left on his sofa and takes it and puts it in a credenza not too far away and pouts that it is just wrong!

Luci, meanwhile, has left Claudio's office and is in the park. Suddenly, out of nowhere she hears the voice of Sabina (the Het Het bruja) telling her about all the many tears she will shed. Luci tells herself she has already cried all kinds of tears for her Mushashon already. She tells herself she was wrong and takes her ring off. Sad, very sad.

Gala's assistant, Bella goes to the city library, (Note to Blue Lass: They are always in a library in this TN, you would love it, jus' sayin'). She is asking the guy for info on archived files many , many years old. He asks for her I.D. and wants to know specifically on what/or whom? She tells him Claudio Linares and it has to do with fraud against Max Torreslanda. The guy is thinking and then remembers the case and exactly where the files are. ( I have to say here, this guy is one hell of a researcher if he can remember where these files are, jus' sayin'). He goes to get them.

Claudio and Lic Bar (am shortening his name, too many r's) are meeting and Lic Bar is the one that will be delivering those papers to Rod. Lic Bar so doesn't get why Luci is divorcing Rod, when you can tell she still so loves him. Claudio tells Lic Bar that she feels it is best to avoid future suffering. Just then Norma comes into the office and informs Claudio that finally, wait for it, the exhumation has finally come through. Claudio says, por fin, (finally) and now he can move their bodies to the family crypt. Norma, bless her heart, says this will be difficult for you Claudio, want company, cause Lic Bar and I can go with. Claudio says no, it's ok, I won't be alone, cause, wait for it, Rosa is coming with me, THE ONLY TORRESLANDA I REALLY TRUST, oh, poor misguided Claudio, if you only knew. At this point, Claudio calls up Rosa and asks her to do a special favor for him. He asks her if she wouldn't mind coming to the exhumation with him. Well, does she ever have a shocked look on her face! She actually wants to know from him if he is sure. He says he is and it would be SPECIAL (oh gag) if she were there. She agrees to go. After she hangs up, she says with that cold, dead voice, she wants to make freaking sure he sees that his wife and DAUGHTER are dead.

Luci has found a little church and goes inside to pray to Jesus for strength, lots of strength to forget about Hot Bod Rod. Meanwhile, Rod is thinking of Luci and remembers she said that her love for him was an emotion she had neva, eva felt before.

Frigid and Mati are having a little standoff about Pato's homecoming. Mati wants lots of flowers about, Frigid says flowers are for the dead, and Pato ain't dead. Mati puts her foot down with Frigid, who wants to know by the way, did you get permission from Rosa, Conny, Mati basically tells Frigid she don't need no stinking permission, she is doing it anyway, Gennaro is taking her to the market, can't be late, hasta la vista, Frig. After Mati goes Frigid says one day it would be good if Mati just shut her mouth,(Note to Frigid: Same to you, you cold hearted beyotch).

Vio and Luci are hanging together in the hood and Luci has that old wallet of hers and is telling Vio she is for sure divorcing, lucious Rod, oopsie, sorry, he is still DEAD TO ME. Anyway, Vio thinks it is just so wrong they were the victims of this chisme that caused all this grief, and to please think about what she is doing. Luci says, no its done now and Vio cries right along with Luci. Vio just thinks this is so wrong.

Bella has come back to the office,loaded with stuff for Gala on Claudio. Gala is surprised she got the info sooo fast. She tells Gala there is a ton of stuff in the library on Claudio. Bella tells Gala that Max and Claudio were partners at one point. Gala says she already knew that, it was a major scandal cause they were not only partners, they were more like brothers. Gala tells her Claudio protested his innocence even in jail. Bella thinks that is interesting.

Pato is at the airport and calls Rod. He expects Hot Head Rod to be reconciled with Luci already and then he hangs up on Rod. Ha!

Pato and Max have made it home, and Satan's minion, oopsie I mean Rosa is there to greet them. She tells them that Mati was in charge of decorating, and the room is filled with flowers and balloons and a huge welcome home sign, crafted by Hanna. Gennaro, Mati, Max and Frigid are all in the room. Pato loves the decorations and thanks Mati, Frigid even tries to get a word in by welcoming Pato home, he thanks her, then ignores her. Max tells them that Pato will be doing therapy again, and Rosa says she will comply with all the dr's orders , she gives Pato a kiss and tries to slide out of there. Max wants to know where she is going? Why not spend some time with Pato who just got home. Pato tries to deflect that and says he'll be here when she gets back. Max wants to know if she is going to a funeral? (Oh, Max, if you only knew what the loca is up to now). Mati asks Rosa where she is going. She won't say. Rosa is in the hallway now and Max wants to know why she is in a hellfire hurry to go. He says he is sick of her secrets and lies. Rosa tells him she has only wanted to protect her boys, oh yeah right, sure, sure; Max tells her you only want to protect your own conscience and your mistakes of the past and its driving her loca. She flips back at him that he is crazy. He still wants to know where she is going. She says she is going to meet Claudio Linares to fix one of those mistakes. She goes. Max is sooo pithed he has to sit down. Mati goes.

Lastra is in his office when he gets another Luci supporter come to call on him (First Lic Bar, then Rod (even though he is DEAD TO ME he tried to do damage control) and now Claudio. Claudio wants to know what kind of trumped up charges he has against Lorenzo. Lastra says nothing. It is payback time for Luciana Jacinto Flores! Claudio is pithed! Lastra is laughing at Claudio and Claudio says Lastra is a perverted wretch. He warns Lastra he will kill him if he even comes near Luci, and Lastra says good, then Luci will be in la carcel with Lorenzo. Claudio then takes that marvelous cane and puts it to Lastra's throat. Claudio lets ole Lastra know that now HE is in charge of Lorenzo's case and will ensure the police know all about the previous crap he tried to pull. Claudio wants to talk to the Big Cheese that actually owns Inferno, Ruh Roh. Lastra tells Claudio, he "doesn't know" who the owner is. Well Claudio tells Lastra that the police will be investigating the antro and casino and all of his dealings. Lastra is so not laughing now. He knows the crapola has hit the fan. Claudio tells Lastra that all his clandestine dealings will come to light and he wants to meet the Big Cheese face to face and Lastra has two hours to provide that info. Claudio goes and Lastra is looking like infarto material.

Hanna and Melissa have come to call on Luci to try to explain the cafe fiasco. Luci doesn't want to hear it, she is going back to Het Het soon. They tell her Rod is upset too, she doesn't want to hear that, or talk to him. But she will talk to Hanna and Melissa they aren't on her shit list. Sorry I hope I didn't offend anyone with that. Hanna and Melissa want to see Lorenzo and they tell her this is all Aldo's fault. Luci is suprised.

Gala is in her office, reading an article about Claudio and Aurora Linares. It is saying how Aurora gave birth to a daughter and both died two hours after the birth took place. Aurora had a heart problem and this was her cause of death. So now we know how Aurora died. She reads further on and sees that Rosa, a dear friend of the couple, arranged the funeral for mother and daughter. Gala can't understand how Luci could be the daughter of Aurora if the baby died. Then Gala gets a thought and crosses herself, and thinks oh, noes Rosa couldn't have done that, (steal the baby).

Now your recapper apologizes for this part of the recap. Frankly it creeped me out so much, I had to have a glass of wine while watching so if I got something wrong please forgive.

We are now at the cemetary and Claudio is coming from one direction and Rosa from the other, they meet up in the middle, by Aurora's tomb and the digging begins. It is a man with a shovel, no heavy equipment. The digging continues and then finally the casket is revealed way down. Claudio grabs some clumps of earth and rubs them through is fingers. Claudio is crying and Rosa has the death ray going. They have finally hoisted that casket up and it looks very deteriated. Claudio wants to look in the casket, they are all at this point wearing dust masks of blue. Rosa, the mean evil, one is telling him not to do it, and that it would be way too hard for him, yeah right. There is a gentleman there in a white coat, not the manicomio guy, but I think maybe an official that says they really need to open it to ensure there are the remains of a woman and child in there. Rosa tells Claudio it is better if he doesn't look down, let them rest in peace. Claudio asks Rosa if this is in fact the coffin with Aurora and his baby's remains, with her cold dead eyes she stares down at that coffin and assures him that yes, that is them. He thanks her for the chirstian/catholic burial she gave them and she says it is good he wants to move them to the family crypt. He says she is right, he won't look down and he actually thanks her for visiting the grave all the time he was away and now it is at an end, and then Claudio actually hugs Satan's minion, uh, Rosa. She is smiling that cold dead smile, dead as her eyes, and the cemetary worker is smirking right with her, Creepy! Digusting!

Julie is at home, drinking her daily, hourly draft of champagne, talking to Carola on the phone for a meet later, when Gala comes home. Julie gets off the phone and Gala hands her all those articles on Claudio and Aurora. Julie says she didn't know that Rosa knew the Linares' and this must be the thing that is driving Rosa loca. Gala says think about this, suppose that baby didn't die and came to work for the Torreslandas' years later. Julie isn't getting it, does this involve a crime? Gala just wants to find out what is going on with Claudio and Luci and how it effects Rod. Julie thinks that Luci married Rod for his fortune,and she doesn't want Gala to blow it by telling Rod about Rosa. Gala says she is only looking for dirt to seperate Rod from Luci foreva. Besides, Rosa is gonna help her marry Rod.

Lorenzo is still in the jail when he learns he has some visitors. It is Hanna, Melissa and Luci, Luci goes in first. He tells Luci that Claudio came to see him and that Lorenzo is fine. Luci tells him she didn't come alone and brings in Hanna and Melissa. Hanna immediately goes up to the bars and strokes Lorenzo's hand through the bars. Lorenzo looks at her hand. Melissa steps up to the bars and tells Lorenzo they know Claudio is now in charge of his case. He says he hates waiting in jail. Melissa and Luci are ready to go and Luci gives Lorenzo the blessing and they go. Hanna stays with Lorenzo and tells him to completely trust Claudio Linares and that she knows Lorenzo is in jail due to Aldo. Lorenzo says he was trying to do Aldo a favor, he paid the money back, but is in jail for his own actions.

Melissa and Luci are in the waiting area at the jail, and Luci is blaming herself for what happened to Lorenzo. If she hadn't been so occupied with planning for her wedding she could have kept a better eye on Lorenzo. Luci tells Melissa that if her and Lorenzo hadn' left Het Het,none of this would have happened.

Magda, Paz and Ariche are looking for the street and house number of Vio's place and Ariche is leading them around and telling them he knows the way. That is one smart cookie. Ariche has found the house, he is sure cause he and Fabian were there before.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Marcial has come to call on Vio. She wants to know Que Haces Aqi and to get out, she doesn't want to talk to him eva. He says he is staying until he hears her out. Marcial is telling Vio he is divorcing his wife and that this has been going on for two years, they have many problems, none due to Vio. Had these problems way before he met Vio.

Our Rod has gone to see Oscar. He wants his help. He tells Oscar that Lorenzo is in jail due to Aldo, that Lorenzo gave the money back, but Lastra insisted on these trumped up charges. He tells Oscar that Lastra is one mean jerk. Rod wants Oscar to go talk to Lastra and get him to drop the charges. He leaves it in Oscar's competent hands. Oscar wants to know if Rod is doing this for Luci. No, he isn't. Oscar assures him he will be the soul of discretion, no worries.

Hanna has made it out to the waiting area at the jail and they assure Luci they will not give up on Lorenzo. till he is free and cause he is part of the family. Luci thanks them for coming to see Lorenzo. Luci gives them a big ole hug.

Magda, Paz and Arichie go up to Dona Estella's. She is pleased to meet them, mixes up the moms with the daughters, about who is who in other words and offers to make some coffee. After about three rounds of I'll help you, no you won't, blah blah they finally settle that,and as Dona Estella is going to make some coffee and a little breakfast thingy, Paz says she is worried about her Luci and Lorenzo and Magda is bragging about Vio the nurse and how she hates her to work at night. Dona Estella wants to know if the girls knew Paz and Magda were coming, no it is a surprise and Dona Estella is thinking, yeah the surprise will be on you.

Luci goes to Inferno, she is so pithed she wants a meet with Lastra. Polo, fortunely is NOT going to let that happen. He tells Luci you know he will never listen to you, you will only harm yourself and besides Claudio has already been to see Lastra and now as a matter of fact there is an elegant gentleman meeting with him about Lorenzo. Luci wants to know who that is. Polo tells her he doesn't know. Polo tells her just to go, to avoid trouble. She goes. Meanwhile, Oscar is that very elegant gentleman meeting with Lastra. Oscar wastes no time in getting down to bidness. Oscar wants to know all the details about the charges against Lorenzo Jacinto Flores. Lastra says there are many reasons he is against the Jacintoes and he doesn't want money, he wants, wait for it, JUSTICE! Oscar whips out that check book and basically asks Lastra, how much we talkin about here? Lastra is thinking (ya know he is thinking more than 30,000 pesos).

Vio and Marcial are still arguing in her apartment about how he lurvves her, she hates him, doesn't want to see him ,he lied to her, when in walks Magda and Paz, right in the middle of the arguement. Vio is shocked to see her Moms and Paz too. She quickly introduces Marcial as a "friend" who has to go. He does. Both Magda and Paz look uncomfortable. Vio is sooo happy now to see her Moms and its been sooo long. Vio has both ladies sit down. Paz says she wanted to surprise them. Paz says she was worried about all the kids same with Magda. Bout this time Luci walks in and is shocked to see them. Mama Paz wants to know where Lorenzo is, Luci doesn't answer. Now Paz is in worried mode that is in overdrive, where is Lorenzo already. Luci tells her that Lorenzo is in the jail. Paz has to sit down, she is about to pass out.

Rod, Marcos, and Gabe are in a meeting, when Oscar comes in and lets Rod know on the sly things went well. Max comes in too and Pato is on the phone. Pato tells them all about his decorated room, Rod wants to know what the doc said, Pato tells them about more hand and later arm movement, Mati is with Pato holding the phone. Marcos and Gabe are pleased and Max mentions therapy and Oscar says they have great therapists in the capital when Rod gets a message to go out of the meeting for a minute.

Rod goes to the lobby and it is Lic Bar come to see Rod. Rod wants to know if Lic Bar is an associate of Claudio Linares. Lic Bar says yes this is so and that Lic Linares is representing Senora Luciana Jacinto Flores. Rod wants to know why Lic Linares is representing his wife. Lic Bar tells him, Claudio is representing his wife for divorce. He gives our Rod the divorce demand and tells him that his wife, Luciana Jacinto Flores wants a divorce from his, wait for it, sorry A$$. Rod is shocked!

Advances:

Claudio and Oscar meet, Luci wants a divorce.

Rosa wants a confession that Max is the father of Luci. It's true isn't it?

Pato wants Rod out!

Vio is dressed like a nurse, as well as Serena and they are going to"work", Luci is shocked.

Rod catches Rosa telling Julie that she has seperated Rod and Luci foreva and Rod is pithed!

  1. That cemetary scene creeped me out I have to say. Gross, disgusting! And Rosa's attitude, may the anvil of fate, flatten her, just sayin.

    I really wish in a way Luci had stood her ground and fought hard for Hot Bod Rod, she really played right into those bruja's hands.

    Love how everyone is coming together to help both Luci and Lorenzo. I like how Hanna, Melissa and even Hot Bod Rod are coming together to help them. Even though Rod sure isn't letting anyone know except Oscar, who was glad to help.

    Like how Claudio is supporting Luci in every which way he can. He is so happy to help her.

  2. Can someone please explain what to me make no sense in this TN. Rosa goes to great lengths to break up Rod and Luciana because she thinks they are half siblings, the love child of her husband, Max, and Aurora. But then she makes an insane attempt to prove to Claudio, husband of dead Aurora that the child is also dead by having the grave keeper put some child's clothes in the grave before it is opened. Granted she's quite mad but did she realize that the same child cannot both be dead and alive?!

  3. Anon - I know this is confusing. When Aurora had the baby, Luci, Claudio was in prison for fraud. So when Aurora died, Rosa thought that Max and Aurora had, had an affair. So she took baby Luci to her gardeners, Paz and Galindo and gave them the baby and told them to go far away. She paid them a huge amount of cash to do that. So Claudio who was in prison, thinks the baby died along with his wife Aurora. Rosa must have released this to the press. She arranged the funeral for Aurora and the "dead" baby, so Claudio has no idea his baby is alive. Rosa thinks he will never find out now, cause at the exhumation Rosa swore the bodies were in that casket. She is trying to make sure noone ever finds out Luci is alive. Mati, Paz, Max, Conny and Frigid all know that baby didn't die and that Rosa stole her and gave her away. She is thinking noone will ever know. But I have a feeling before this TN is over everyone will know exactly what she did. I think the Padre also knows but he is bound by the confessional and can't tell, although he went to the bishop to discuss it.

  4. Madelaine, this was superb. The care and attention you gave to this was apparant with every word.

    I had to pare down my list of favorites but they include: "Max tells him it is the way she talked and her eyes! (Are you freaking kidding me? Well, maybe that was "before" she became loca" and "lucious looking Rod, in just a teeny towel, too small for him, strutting around in his apartment. Oopsie, sorry, got carried away, forgot for a second ROD IS DEAD TO ME".

    I so enjoy your mentioning so many of the small details that enhance the excellence of this great story: "One of Luci's big fat tears falls right on the line, Hot Head Rod is supposed to sign". Also, "Satan's minion" had me chortling in agreement. Excellent!

    I know everyone is pithed at Rod, and I am as well. But, I am slightly encouraged that he is defending Luci (at least behind the scenes),hence Oscar's visit to Lastra. And he needs to get a grip on his jealousy and hot-headedness (is that even a word?):) Jealous of Claudio? C'mon Rod.

    It's somewhat comforting that Luci has such a support network - even Marcos and Gabe are on her side (although I think they need and deserve better partners than Gala's henchwomen).

    Poor Paz. She's only heard half of the news - wait til she finds out there's no boda. Also, did I understand correctly that Vio and Magda hadn't seen each other in years? Vio's ruse is likely not going to be too successful and Magda will surely learn what Vio's real job is. And, there's certainly nothing wrong with that - let's hope Magda concurs.

    Madelaine, the graveyard scene gave me shivers also. Glad that came to a merciful end rather quickly. I was hoping the coffin would magically open and suction Rosa in but alas, that did not occr.

    I'm rambling so I would like to thank you and all of the recappers for doing these 2 hour summaries. I'm rather sad we will be down to 1 hour episodes but look forward to continue to read these marvelous recaps.

    ReplyDelete
  5. thanks Madelaine!
    and yes, ita with your summation for anon... that is my take too.
    that is why Rosa has been working herself out with guilt since she has lied to Claudio all these years and he thinks she took care of Aurora and the baby. when she really gave the baby out thinking it was Max' out-of-wed child.

  6. diana,
    I was hoping the coffin would magically open and suction Rosa in but alas, that did not occr.
    totally agree... i really was clitching my teeth when Rosa found the strength to swallow hard and then say 'yes, it is them' to Claudio.. what nerve! after she had announced all over her household she was going to tell Claudio the truth (to her sis, to mati, to Padre and to Max at least)

    ReplyDelete
  7. i agree that luci has an extensive support network led by Claudio and his own siblings Pato and Hanna, and Rod will have to figure out that if she has that many supporters must be for a reason

    ReplyDelete
  8. Madelaine- Wonderful as always!

    I loved how many people came and threatened Lastra on Luci and Lorenzo's behalf. One correction, Claudio gave Lastra 12 hours (doce) to drop the charges. I believe that's how much mroe time Lorenzo has before they take him to the prison (reclusorio). Once he's transferred there, it will be harder to get him out, so they are all working against the clock right now. But Lastra is being quite stubborn. Neithe threats to his well being and life by Rod and Claudio; threats to expose the dirty dealings of the business by Lastra; or bribes by Oscar have gotten him to run down to the jail to drop the charges yet. I think big boss Max may have to get invloved, and that would NOT be good for Lastra. He better drop those charges now!

    Rod earned a few tiny points by wanting to help Luci and Lorenzo secretly. But he lost SO many more by stupidly jumping to the conclusion that Luci and Claudio have a *thing* because he saw them hugging. He already knows they're friends. That hug didn't look sexual in the least and it was obvious that Luci was crying. I'm starting to think Rod has the same kind of sick jealousy as his mama does.

    Speaking of Rosa-- she was at her creepy/crazy/evil best at the cemetary with Claudio. I was freaked out by that scene too Madelaine. Anon- Yes, Rosa is telling the people who know the baby lived (Padre, Max, Connie, Mati) that she is going to tell the truth. But the audience knows she had no intention of doing so, since she was making sure Claudio would find baby remains in the coffin. Why is she lying? Because she's a LIAR. And she's crazy. She doesn't want her kids and the world to find out about her crime, and she must believe that the people in the know will not expose her, which sadly, is probably true.

  9. *correction: threats to expose the dirty dealings of the business by Claudio, not Lastra.

    I am so happy that Polo stopped Luci from seeing Lastra. Everyone is right. Lastra would just humiliate her, anger her, and he still wouln't let Lorenzo out of jail, so it's better that she not speak to Lastra at all.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Luci and Vio are living such a nightmare right now with their mamas' surprise visit. Did you see the way Magda and Paz were looking at the way Vio was dressed? They looked her tight jeans/top self up and down. I guess she's also filled out a lot since she left the pueblo as a teen. And they certainly could tell that she was having a lovers' quarrel with Marcial, alone in her apartment, when they came in. The mamas have already seen red flags all over the place, so I really don't know how the girls are going to keep all their other secrets. If Paz is already in this state about Lorenzo being in jail, just wait till she finds out why, and why this man has a vendetta against Luci. Plus the divorce! Both Paz and Magda will be shedding many tears about their children soon. I'm dreading them finding out the truth almost as much as Vio and Luci.

    The scene when Luci signed the divorce demand was so sad. But how wonderful that it was Claudio who was with her to comfort her. I also loved all that he said to her in the car, about not letting anyone humiliate her or making her feel unworthy. Then the doll, and Luci saying she had only ever received one doll in her life, and that was from her papa. Just so sweet knowing the real truth. Luci has been blessed with two wonderful papas.

    I am impressed by how smart Julie and Gala are. They have the whole thing figured out about Rosa's crime. Now, what will they do with this info?

  11. I agree with everyone else,am loving team luci. it's nice to see more people wanting/trying to get them together in a TN.

    yep, rosa totally entered into a new level of evil, I don't know who max was talking about to pato, but whatever rosa he was describing is hard to wrap my head around ever exsisting.

    did enjoying seeing all these people seeing lastra to make him drop his charges. I thought it was funny to see all the different approaches

    thanks for the recap madelaine!

  12. Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

    Diana thank you. Sometimes I get a little too detailed, but I can't help it, this story so intrigues me, that I get carried away.

    Marta yes Luci and Lorenzo both have so much help. It's annoying that Rod helps too, but does it on the sly.

    Vivi- thank you for the number clarification. I have trouble with the numbers. Oh, and Vivi you are so right about Rod thinking that Luci and Claudio have something going on. He is acting like a crazy jealous guy. Ya know if he got to meet Claudio and talked to him, I think he would like him too.

    So twelve hours, do we all think Lastra will give up his vendetta against the Jacinto siblings? I don't think he will. He was so rude to poor Lic Bar, Rod beat him up, Aldo threatened him, Claudio threatened him in a good way, Oscar threw money at him. I think the anvil will hit Lastra first, before he will drop the charges. Doesn't Max know that Lorenzo is Luci's bro? I thought Aldo told him that when he went to Boston.

    jlk so agree with you about what Rosa, Max was talking about. You know it's funny when they showed the flashback of Rosa with Aurora, she looked like she really cared about Aurora but not the baby. She was actually comforting Aurora. Now Rosa ia like the walking dead, no feelings inside at all, except of course doing bad things.

    I think now that Paz is in the D.F. and if she finds out that Rosa engineered this mess, Paz will confront her. I hope Paz does, she is a very strong woman and I can just see Magda giving it to Rosa as well.

  13. This was an exciting recap, i cant wait for Claudio to find out what Rosa did, and that Luci is his daughter.......I want Rod to come to his senses and go back to Luci and I want her to take him back, cant wait to see what happens next.......
    Again Thanks for the recap really nice of you to take the time to do this........

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wonderful detail! Just reading through, went through all the rollercoaster of reactions again last night: frustration, anger, creeped-out, teary...

    Rod is such a hodge-podge of messed up emotions, but then with a mother like his. I don't know, I would go screaming for the hills if I had met that mother-in-law. Luci is far better than me, I guess. His jealousy seems to be his undoing. It was so stoopid to get so pithed over Luci hugging Claudio. His reason is because the guy is his father's enemy---yeah, right.

    But speaking of Claudio---how much do I love him, let me count the ways. The Lastra scene, awesome. His support of Luci, just perfection. So he still hasn't figured out the bug-eyed monster yet, but he'll get there.

    "Max tells him it is the way she talked and her eyes! (Are you freaking kidding me?" -- A choke on your wine moment if ever there was one.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah Daisynjay. He also said she had an amazing sense of humor. Ha! Pato was shocked. He's never seen that woman, and Max admitted that woman is long gone.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Vivi, agree with you that it seems Max will have to get involved in pushing Lastra to drop the charges and even Lastra knows that will not be good news for him, since Max himself yelled at him to drop the charges (or not to press charges at all) and stop the nonesense or else... so if Lastra is risking the 'else' it won't be good for him.

    ReplyDelete
  17. and it will be beyond just losing his job with the NFERNO which is what Max originally threatened him with (I think)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh, wow Vivi I missed the part where Max said Rosa had a sense of humor. I would have liked to see that Rosa. I can't even fathom how she would have been. All we see is this embittered, empty, jealous shell of a woman. So heartless, all cause she thinks her friend Aurora had an affair with her husband.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yes, Max said she had a "gran sentido de humor" which left Pato speechless. I just can't picture it either.

    Marta- Did you see my e-mails yesterday?

    ReplyDelete
  20. DaisnynJay- I am loving Claudio too. What a nice, attractive man he is. I like the way he fights for the underdog. He truly has a wonderful sense of justice. I think that was with him, way before he ever went to jail on the trumped up fraud charges. I agree with you too, about Rosa. I would have been screaming for the hills also.

    Vivi you are so right about Gala and Julie, they are very smart and Gala, I think, has already just about figured out what happened already. She may use this info to emotionally blackmail Rosa to get her to do what she wants, i.e. marry Rod and keep Rod with her. Julie will use it to get money out of Rosa.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Excellent recap!

    The English CC's are more confusing than this Novella. Last night during the scene with Rod in his apartment, the English CC's clearly read that Rod mused that Luci is the daughter of Lic Linares.

    Chalked this up to the fact that for the first two or three weeks of this Novela the 2nd hour would always be with the first hour or day before CC's.
    Rod doesn't have a clue about Luci's heritage.

    Max doesn't have enough money to pay for the therapy needed to get Rosa out of crazy land. She is operating on short term solutions and is just digging the hole deeper. Julie is a creep.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Anna thank you for the great comment and welcome to our TN. Agree with all your comments. As far as Rod coming to his senses, it will be one long hard road. He is going to have to learn that everything the b/witches told him is a lie, and that will take a long time for him to discover. IMHO. I can't wait for the day that Rod finds out exactly what his Mama hid from him. That will be very interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Anon 10:50- Yeah, I have heard complaints about the CC'S before. I do these recaps without cc's. I just listen to the dialogue and watch the body language and can figure out, most of the time with my limited Spanish, what is being discussed/happening. Plus it helps that we have great commentators/recappers who help me out when I get something wrong. I just have such a love for these TN'S and love to do the writing.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Well said, Madelaine. This was a tough one to recap. Glad you had some wine to keep you company.

    To expand some more on the Max-Pato hospital convo on what it was about Rosa that made him fall in love with her....When Pato got to the Then Why do you need to seek the company of a much younger woman. He told Max that he and Rod had seen him *with* (sort of) Vicky. Max did not exactly deny it (usual tn response is ...how can you think that of me) but he immediately got in Pato's face and said the only woman I have ever loved is your....Mother. And every effort I have made is to make things better for her and our family, so don't judge me (or something close to that).

    About the cemetery scene. A lot of folks covered their eyes for that one, but it was my impression that Claudio DID look in the coffin. Then Roselena *told* him to have the bodies cremated so they could rest in peace and moved to the family crypt. He said she was right and would do so.

  25. Anita- Yes, that scene with Max and Pato was interesting. Max didn't quite deny the affair. Which is the same as what he did in his conversation with Rod about the same thing. But he made it really clear that the woman he loves is Rosa, and that his kids and family have always been his #1 priority and asked if Pato has any complaint about that. Pato admitted that Max has been the best of fathers. It's obvious that this is a part of himself that Max takes great pride in- the role of father. This will make it all the more painful when his kiss learn about the vile/terrible side of him. He is so against type as a villain. Usually, villains are terrible parents and you root for the kids to break free of them and to see them for who they really are. But this is a tough case. Max is a great dad. Just don't cross him in business or lotalty.

    Anita is correct that Claudio looked into the grave and Rosa urged him to get the remains cremated.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I don't care what Rod looks like, greased up and in a towel he is so dead to me. If i were Luci he could crawl buck naked on hands and knees across the Sonoran desert in July and i wouldn't forgive him. He consistently jumps to conclusions (a true galan trait), always thinks the worst, refuses to listen to anyone and Melissa is right someday he will hear the whole story and it will be too late for him. OK he is trying to help Lorenzo but i think that is more because Doofus Aldo is responsible.

    Speaking of the Doofus his lists of screw ups is getting longer and longer. He gets Lorenzo thrown in jail, causes Geronimo to be fired, and now Vicki's job is on the line. Admittedly he is trying in his fumbling way to help but he needs to grow up. All the pain he has caused may be the catalyst.

    Totally loved the scene with Max and Pato, actually I like all their scenes together. Pato gets Max to talk about how he fell in love with Rosa La Loca and when Max says he no longer knows the woman he married and then his son drops the bombshell so that is why you look for younger women. Pato is smart and since he can't do much he uses his brains something his brother neglects to do. There will be hell to pay when Pato get the story, probably from J&M.

    Are there no depths to which Rosa won't sink? She now wants those remains cremated obviously to avoid any chance of DNA testing. I think she figures she has covered all bases now and that if anyone tells Claudio the truth there is no way to prove it and it would be her word against a bunch of servants. She always forgets Conny. I honestly wanted to reached through the scene and shove her into that grave.

    Luci's tears falling on the divorce papers. Hope dumb Rod notices them. Interesting that he now knows Claudio is representing Luci in the divorce. Maybe he will put two and two together and figure out that was why she was in the car with him. Then again he is a blockhead.

    Interesting list of advances. Those did not show up in my area all w got was Luci meeting Rod in the lawyers office.

  27. Thank you Vivi and Anita for the looking in the coffin thingy. It was gross for me and I kind of looked away. Sorry.

    Anita, thank you for the convo with Pato and Max about Rosa. I'm with Vivi is very proud to be a Papa, he is a great DIL to Luci so far. But now there is the business with Latra and both Luci and Lorenzo, but he stills seems to be on Luci's side here. Hopefully Lastra drops the charges, but I don't know. Lastra being Lastra, the evil guy, just wants his pound of flesh. I don't see Lastra caving.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Sorry I meant Fil not Dil.

    Decie Girl, I like your idea of shoving Rosa in that grave, and the cremated remains, futher yuk. But Claudio is still living and we know from JERRY JERRY he can give his DNA and match it to Luci and viola proof of being the father. That is if someone squeals.

  29. Was thinking over the last couple of days that Boris is a pretty good kid. The other day Jana was staring off into space while he worked out some math problem and then he asked her about worrying about Lorenzo. The boy obviously doesn't have a jealous bone in his body.

    Then yesterday Boris was the one who came up with the idea of getting Luci and Rod together to force them to talk.

    Since it is also obviously that Lorenzo and Jana have a little thing developing maybe in Lula drops her snooty attitude about servants she might have a chance with Boris.

    It also adds to the plus side for Boris that Rosa looks down her nose at him. Anyone Rosa dislikes has to be good.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Decie Girl- Yes, Boris is a good kid, and he really loves Hannah. I feel bad for him because we can tell that Hannah and Lorenzo are so drawn to each other, and she's just not feeling it for Boris. But I don't know if he'll ever feel that way about Lula. I like that this tn doesn't give us easy black or white situations and characters.

  31. Okay so I think it is time I start chiming in. I have been reading these recaps religiously for like the past 3 weeks or so (I am a latecomer to this TN but I am all caught up...thanks Hulu!). These recaps are so great and they really help fill in the small gaps where things might pass right over me. And it is nice to get the opinions of all the other viewers because nobody in my social circle understands Spanish at all so they don't watch TNs.

    Obviously I am totally on team "Rod is Dead to Me" because he is an idiot. You can't just believe everything they said during the "pie cart" and then be surprised when your wife wants to divorce you because you won't give her a chance to explain herself. That's a pretty jerk move on his part. To think that Luci would just stay married to him even though he was just willing to drop her like that? False.

    And I really wish Connie would be more active in telling what is really going on (to Luci and/or Rod). Since she isn't doing anything I am just hoping that she is just plotting in the wings for a serious throwdown that takes down Team Bruja (Gala, Juli, Rosa y Frigida).

    There is really so much I could say about everything that has been going on...so I will keep it short:

    -Luci's fainting/getting lightheaded (getting some signals there for sure)
    -What's the deal with Lorenzo and Jana? I know she is with Boris but this is a TN so anything goes
    -Still really hoping for that Team Bruja throwdown
    -Rod is still an idiot, I cannot get over that

    Anyway, that's enough of that. Thanks again for the awesome recaps. I look forward to them each day.

  32. Welcome Gretchen! Thanks for coming out of the shadows, commenting, and joining our fun "Spanish study group." (That's what we call if to friends and family, so that they don't think we're crazy.)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Gretchen- Yep, fainting and dizzy spells in a tn either means 1) you're an older lady who is high strung, like Paz/Rosa/Mati; 2) you have lukemia; or 3) you're pregnant. I think we can safely guess that Luci has lucky number 3.

    As for Lorenzo and Hannah, I think they will be a couple by the end, but they have many things to overcome first. Her mama will NEVER agree to it. But I also think that Lorenzo needs more education and polish before he and Hannah can have anything serious. They are both young, still high school age, so anything can happen.

    ReplyDelete
  34. LOVE Team HMBL (Hannah, Melissa, Boris, Lula). Jana has everyone on Luci's side, except her mother of course who is beyond help. I'd like to seem them take down Team Bruja. Gala is a smart but my money would still be on Melissa leading her team to victory. Even Lula is proving useful! More so than Frigida who is only good for gossip.

    Grammar note. "Cinco para las tres" is 5 before three rather than 5 past three. I thought it was unique to Mexico but not sure about that. I like it though because for some reason it seems easier to think "5 para las 3" rather than "3 menos 5". Must be that subtraction word. Never did like subtraction.
