TUESDAYS EPISODE
THE FOREST FOR TREES
Santi finally reaches Nicolas at his new job. WTF? Well, Dad, I tried to tell you I’d gotten a part-time job. You weren’t listening. And, no, I am not quitting university. –Cougar Boss-Lady likes hearing that. She also needs to hear she’s not looking too old and wrinkly these days, even though she’s getting very closed to her use-by date. She sends him on an errand to a client to smooth the way for her business relationship with them.
Raq shows up emotionally in tatters to complain to Santi that now she’s learned that the hubster was rolling her kid sister in the bedsheets right under her nose also. Santi is sorry for her but his philosophy in life is ‘That’s just the way it is and nothing can be done about it so deal. Raq cannot deal, especially when she learns he’s told Comandante Antonio about the gun she stole from Andres’s office. She already was drowning in self-pity and misery and that bit of news which will no doubt lead to proving Vicente’s got a reason to report them to the police, doesn’t make her feel any better. Just what was he thinking, anyway????? “--Oh, you can trust Antonio.” “--Oh no you cannot. He is the police and my husband was sleeping with my sister in addition to Carolina. Don’t you get it?” And to top it off, Cinthia has no where to go, and neither does she. So what’s to be done. She’s living with her under the same roof.
At the pasta company offices, Raq walks by the window of Dam’s glass enclosed office and sees as Dam is about to comfort Caro about something. She walks in worried about her friend. Caro lies that she’s all upset about having been accosted by a would-be purse-snatcher. She refuses all attempted aid from Raq and races off to the hotel where she is forced now to meet Andres.
Otherwise, he will sell that video to the highest bidder and make sure that Santiago gets more than an eyeful of that “porno film” she and Dam made together. After Caro leaves, Raq is determined to buy Caro a car so she won’t have to walk the mean streets of Mexico City, especially in crummy neighborhoods like this one.
Back at los Alvarados, Lola and Juan have a quibble over Lola being seen in her robe in front of her brother. She cannot believe what he’s got to gripe about since it is just her brother. However, the fact that her brother was ready to race into her roon when she was practically naked disturbs him. She eventually gets permission to chat with Nico in the living room in her robe. Federico gets an eyeful and cannot hardly pull himself away when it’s time to leave.
Santi finalizes the kitchen makeover with Gabriela. She takes a selfie with Santi and sends it to Raq to taunt her with. Raq shows it to Dam who doesn’t think twice about it. Foolishness.
Back at los Becker, Mia and Julietta’s plan for revenge against Mr. Popular de Joquin goes off without a hitch. He tells her he apologizes for treating her so badly. He drinks a glass of lemonade—an alcohol-free micky finn, so to speak. While she and Julietta show their scars and taunt him about the fact people like him hurt people like them so badly they do this sort of cutting to themselves. He suddenly passes out. They undress him and get half naked themselves, then begin taking their own compromising pictures of him that are very social-media worthy.
Meanwhile, Santi comes home and Juan is standing in the living room waiting on Lola. Santi sees him there with a sour look on his face and is not in the mood to play games. Who are you? Lola walks in with wet hair and obviously just out of the shower. He’s her boyfriend. Santi ignores him purposely and Lola tells him tomorrow. Juan sneers back, “—WHAT?” Santi says, “—You heard her. Now leave.” (Viewerville has to cheer. Finally a male who will stand up to JTS over his daughter and in general.
“You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with [h]im !” --with apologies to Mr. Croce, qepd)
Santi tells Lola this may be the guy she’s doin’ it with but she cannot do it under his roof, period. And, next time, pick a guy who respects her more than that. –Nacho calls Santi and that Caro was there at the pasta factory and he saw Caro looking really upset. He has no idea why she was there and Nacho doesn’t know what might have happened to get her that way.
Vicente brings his lawyer with him to make his statement accusing Santi and Raq of killing his sister. Why? “—Isn’t it obvious? They got together really fast after the accident and my sister’s death, don’t you think?” Tonio says they have no real proof and until that changes, everyone is a suspect.
At the same time, Raq is still griping to Santi that she wished they could have met under very different circumstances and she’s love to have made love but if she does that, with hubby still alive, then she’s no better than Caro and Sissy and Dam.
During lunch Godoy and Laura discuss her convo with Lola. She believed it when Lola denied having a sexual relationship with Dam. As for her daddy and Raq, no it wasn’t so clean and dried (I think.) Godoy insists to Laura that despite her crazy theories, Raq and Santi are NOT guilty of murdering Caro or causing that accident. +--Well, suppose that everybody did know about the affair, that Dam and Caro were getting it on, but they all stayed deaf, dumb and blind rather than face up to it. Why does she say this? Because that’s what she did with Godoy.
Mama Miriam has a conversation with Rueda. He says Vicente’s attorney called him to let him know what’s what (a clear violation of attorney-client privilege I should imagine…..) with the accusation and his statement given to the police. Vicente didn’t sign his name to the accusation and so it’s not a formal declaration (cause he couldn’t prove it, right).
Santi meets with Nacho and wants to know what he might have seen the day he called him to say Caro was at Dam’s office and looked and acted so odd.
Raq finally gives the boot to SinCin.
Mimi wants Rueda to convince Vicente to put his name on the dotted line and quickly. Rueda thus visits Vicente and lets him know it would be to his advantage to do this. However, before he give Vicente one red centavo, Vice has to sign that document and make sure he also tells Rueda the truth, and who else might have know about them, and above all, did his sister and Santiago know about the affair.
In the hotel room, Andres is hovering menacingly over Caro. She accuses him of trying to get from her what he couldn’t get from her daughter. She calls him a depraved, rotten pervert –a sicko. He asks her if she’s going to deny sleeping with his cousin. She fights him off and he demands she get naked. His cousin isn’t any better than him and he wants to see the goods. He wants to see just what caused his cousin so much excitement. She slaps him and he grabs her face in his hands and screams at her that if she doesn’t do what he tells her the whole world is going to know what and what she is and her life will be ruined—so stop wasting time and get to it, NOW!! She screams back that he’s a piece of shit. He yells “—Slut” back at her then drags her practically by the hair and throws her onto the bed where he begins to rape her.
WEDNESDAY'S EPISODE
EPISODE #26
WHAT DID THEY KNOW & WHEN DID DEY KNOW IT???
• Antonio visits Raquel on business. He needs her statement. Mia wants to know what’s going on and why the police want to take her into custody. “—I went to the company to your uncle’s office and took away a gun. Give me a chance to speak to this man and I’ll explain afterward.” Tonio walks into the living room and informs her that Vicente has signed a formal complaint against her and Santiago for his sister, Carolina’s, murder and attempted murder of her husband, Damian. This is all she needed, but it was to be expected.
• Mia goes up to her bedroom and leaves another message on Nicolas’s voicemail. Nico is having a grown-up dinner at an elegant restaurant with Cougar Boss Lady. He’s thanking her for the clothes and the meal, and tries to refuse her giving him a lift home after. All the recompense she wants is to enjoy his smile and his can-do-it attitude. (Righhhhhht.) All the while he’s feeling like king of the cock-walk, Mia is screaming insults at him into the phone because he’s not returning her calls.
• Crooked Coke-pushing Cop (?) tells Cinthia that she was a fool for telling her big sis about the affair with Dam, especially since it was before they Raq and he were even married. SinCin wanted to make her understand Dam was not the best of hubbies. Well, she can’t stay there. He’s got lots of visitors coming in and out doing lots of things that may tempt her. She lies and says she’s in control and tries seducing him so she can stay anyway.
• Across town Nacho insists to Santi that he’s nearly certain that Andres must have known about the affair between Caro and Dam. Santi is going to do something crazy then, and Nacho tries to talk him out of it. “—Tell me something. Do you think Andres had anything to do with my wife’s death?”
• Back at los Becker, Raq is crying out of pure desperation and misery. “—I didn’t kill anybody! I’m the one who’s been killed! My home and family are both destroyed. My life is totally ruined,” she sobs. Why did she go to the business? She was simply looking for something, anything that would provide a clue—And she found it! It was a picture of a naked, pregnant Carolina hidden in Dam’s office. She was full of rage, can he even begin to imagine what she felt like? Yes she took the gun with thoughts of killing her husband the same way he’d killed her but she couldn’t do it. She wanted to kill herself but she couldn’t kill anybody. It just wasn’t in her.
Did Santi see that picture. Yes, she showed it to him. He was worried about losing Benji since Caro’s dead and Dam is still alive. That is as bad a shock as losing his wife, they agree. The court has ordered a DNA test for paternity. A judge will say that knowing the child was another man’s is sufficient motive for murder. Couple that with Vice stating he saw her and Santi together in a compromising circumstance….Raq swears the man is ill and/or evil. “--There was/is nothing between us and nothing is going on. We didn’t know ANYTHING! We knew NOTHING about any of that! How could we have?” Tonio says he believes her but the court is something different; she tells him the only thing between them is great pain and sorrow. He wants her to help him, then and advises the two of them need to stop hanging around together from now on. It will look bad and does nothing for their credibility. He warns her that what is on the way is going to be even more painful still.
• That night Santi follows Andres back to the office.
• 3 YEARS BEFORE:
Andres keeps trying to force Caro to give in (like SinCin) but suddenly he just gets off her and walks away. (Methinks Mr. Lump was limp and Mr. Pump wasn’t up for it…..). We get some tough talk that he’ll take her when he’s good and ready. This was just a warning so to speak. One of these days she’ll be beg him for it. He leaves the room. She gets control of herself and takes a desperate call from Dam. She again tries breaking it off with him. He refuses to accept that.
• That evening she comes home late and totally disheveled. She has told Santi that she was nearly raped but was saved, just like the last time when somebody tried stealing her purse but another person got it back for her. She argues with Santi over her wearing make-up and nice clothes and alone at night on the street as being the cause. She refuses to accept that stinking kind of thinking and tells him he’s a controlling chauvinistic jerk.
•
• Eventually Caro and Santi apologize to each other and she and Santi make amends of sorts, while Dam tries to make it up in the marital mattress with Raq for having shut her out of his life and basically ignoring her. Caro blames her frigidity that night on worry over Lola working in some bar rather than having her in a safe place with Damian looking over her. Santi has to agree, but he still feels like he’s losing Caro and doesn’t know how to get “her” back. It’s obvious that neither Dam or Caro is happy with what they have to do to make their marriages work again.
•
• Santi and Andres have it out; Andres will call the police on him. “—Go ahead.” A bad bluff ain’t enough to stop Santiago. He’s like a bulldog with a bone. Santi is determined to find out if Andres knew his cousin and Caro were having an affair. Andres tries to evade but Santi won’t let him get away with that. Andres finally admits that, yeah, he knew. “--Why? Should I have told you so you could have run to Raquel and told her and hurt her?” Santi replies that there was embezzlement going on and this must have been the reason that Dam didn’t fire Andres. It was some sort of blackguards’ agreement.
• Over dinner Godoy and Laura debate the guilt and motives of Santi and Raq. Godoy explains Santi has denied there was anything between him and Raquel. And, just because Vice saw that at that cabin doesn’t automatically make them assassins. Laura considers it had to be somebody close to them who killed Carolina and caused this accident. Who else possibly knew? Vicente, says Godoy. No, says Laura. He’s just a drunk who only wants to see what advantage he can get out of a situation. “—That’s right! So, perhaps he knew and tried to get Damian to pay him to keep his mouth shut?”
Laura says it could also be Andres, the cousin. You told me that there was money missing at the company. His cousin was robbing the company so…? Godoy doesn’t think that’s enough reason to commit murder. Hey, she says, what’s it mean if Santi’s littlest is actually Damian’s son? His mother hated Carolina with all her might. If she knew the baby was Damian’s well, he’s alive and Carolina is dead. His mother could have killed her!
• Santi is surprised to see Nico wearing a new suit. Nico explains how the boss bought him the clothes and dinner then brought him home. I wasn’t sure about what words of wisdom Santi imparted to the kid with news like that. All I heard was that Nico insisted that boss didn’t want him to look like a regular employee….I believe he began to suggest something about her being so much older than him when Mia texts and leaves another message. Nico admits they’re sort of dating and all but she’s just so crazy acting. Santi warns him about hurting her. They listen to her desperate message and Santi tell him to call her while he calls Raq to get the low-down on Antonio’s visit.
• Raq explains that Tonio wants to help them. “--How?” She explains they cannot see each other now due to the business with Vice and the formal complaint. She hangs up. Nico calls Mia to find out what she’s so upset about. “—Don’t be so paranoid.” She doesn’t talk, just hangs up. She remembers back three years ago.
• Nico was all paranoid about her not liking him or wanting to be with him anymore. She brushes him off. Is it Joaquin? Nope. Just she has too much going on in her head right now to think about him. She’s got something doing with Julietta right now anyway.
• Meanwhile, Caro is agonizing over what to do with her pregnancy. She hasn’t told Santi yet. Then there’s a knock at the gate and it’s Dam who cannot live without her. She finally admits she’s preggers and wonders what he wants to do about it. More than ever he needs to and wants to be with her. Not in the cards as far as she’s concerned. Well she’s not telling anyone about it. Their relationship is at an end! They keep arguing about it.
• At los Becker the housekeeper comes racing downstairs to get Raq to come to Mia’s room. There’s blood on Mia’s mattress and the housekeeper found Mia’s box of “tools”.
• Well, there’s a reason: somebody knows about them, says Caro. Who? Dam wants to know. She won’t tell Dam a damn thing—just that if she tells him then Santi and Raq will learn about them—everything about them
• Mia parks outside Nico’s door. Nico walks out in his new duds and she digs his new look. “—Nice.” She’s going to give him a lift but there’s a honk and oh, it’s my boss come to give me a lift to the office. Uh, yeah, thinks Mia. It’s an older, sexy woman on the hunt more like it. This is the reason you threw me under the bus, huh? Err, uhh, well…uh. HONK! “I followed after you for three years! Don’t be like that.” “—Nico, I went to bed with you. You swapped me out for that older woman! Well, go with your new girlfriend. Adios!” Nico is like all what a relief! “--Adios!” Way too easy for you, dude!
• The young carpenter guy that works for Santi comes by to get something at the house and hears the last bit of that “discussion”. He can figure something is up. He’s peeking in through the grating. The carpenter kid listens for clues. Dam says he has a right to know who and how they know! She won’t risk it, she says. “--Now go. This is over!” She opens the gate to get Dam to go and sees carpenter kid just standing there, staring and looking embarrassed.
