EPISODE  #44 

SHOWN ON #GTV @9:00PM
LOTS OF LIES WHILE PLANNING THE NEXT PLAY



 

    Ramiro, Santiago, aka Marcelo/SanMarco, and Iñaki, continue to play musical mujeres in order to keep the triplets from seeing each other.

    Ram keeps Ana Leticia entertained—or is it the other way around since she’s going through a seductive striptease, while SanMarco admits to poor AnaLucia in Yaki’s bedroom(?) that he’s still in love with his wife as well as her now and it’s too complicated to explain.  She, no longer feeling so lucky, tells him that she appreciates his honesty, but not to come looking for her again until he decides he’s going to get that divorce he promised her.  Ana NSLucky leaves, thinking to race into the other apartment to Ram for comfort but, then decides not to, and gets into the elevator instead.  Ram, meantime, admits to Ana MiMi the purely physical attraction he cannot control.  He suggests it’s the physical similarity to her sister, Ana Laura.  MiMi snickers and says well, since she’s thrown you over for that wheelchair bound loser, Valentin, Ram might as well have taken advantage of her attraction to him.  Oh well, Ram’s loss, she taunts as the clothes go back on.  Doesn’t he realize they both have a second chance at happiness.  He is the only one who could make her whole again and take away the horrible bitterness she felt when Marcelo left her to her fate three years earlier.  Ram tells her to hold her tongue.

   Ana Llora shows up and walks into Ram’s apartment just as Yaki shows up to check on things.   Santi sees and hides.  A Llora finds Ram and needs to chat.  He takes a moment to signal to Yaki that he’s got MiMi in his bedroom and to handle her while he chats up A Llora. Yaki entertains MiMi for Ram while he takes care of ALlora. He tells her A Llora showed up looking for Ram.  “—What’s between those two –A Laura and Ramiro?”  She tells him it’s none of his beeswax.  “—A bit jealous, huh?”   
  
      A Llora thinks that he can make a good impression on Abuela Ernestina by showing her the ID bracelet Ram gave her. Santi listens from behind the door.  (A Llora’s voice is sooooo frail- she’s so enervated--in this scene that her voice and presence practically drives me up the wall. I cannot stand this character ANYmore.  Period.)  Ram doesn’t agree, but they can discuss it over lunch.  She refrains, but he insists that he knows the rules now that she’s with TinTin, and it would only be as friends.  She agrees to go then.  (--Good, cuz I don’t think I could stomach her much longer and would have to give up on her scenes today……)  SanMarco sneaks into the hallway of Ram’s apartment now.

      Yaki and MiMi walk into the living room and she’s angry that Ram left with her sister.  What’s the big deal? He told you he’s been in love with her his entire life.”  That’s a lie, she insists.  ALlora turns her back on him and he refuses the opportunity to tell AMimim how much he really likes her.  She complains he’s only a opportunist, chasing after their money.  Just like him.  Yaki notes Santi in the doorway and signals to stay covered.  He stutters he doesn’t have the slightest interest in her.  They can’t stand each other anyway, right?  “You even detest me, don’t you?” Yep, she does.  But, oh, she’ll tell him the same as she told Ramiro (in what universe?) that Marcelo was and still is the only man in her life.  Yaki agrees.  “--That’s fine.  Ok.  Bye.”  She calls him boring, turns her nose up and leaves.  Yaki breathes easier.  He makes excuses to SanMarco that he doesn’t know where she gets these crazy ideas from.  He can’t stand her—and it’s less and less by the day.

   A NSLucky cries all the way home.  


 Soledad gets a chance to ask Viridiana, the dress shop owner, if Sr. Mariano Alvarez del Castillo, was a regular friend or not.  She insists he’s only a business acquaintance that she’ll never cross paths with again.  Sole is relieved.  Mariano has different ideas, however.

   Now Sra. Miranda, the cardiologist’s wife, is visiting Erni.  She’s just set up an anonymous chat on a singles’ site. Erni’s ex fiancé, Rodrigo, aka Rich Rod, has answered just as anonymously, Miranda’s post.   In walks Dr. Bernardo to his office.  Rich Rod asks after Erni’s health, though insisting he’s not really interested—just heard and wondered about it all.  Bernie tells him she’ll be fine.  By the way, Miranda insists he stays with them as their house guest while his hotel condo is finished being built.  He refuses…for now.


P Soledad returns home and is greeted by Remedios who at this point has one for Sole: let Ana Lucia live her own life.  She’s grown up and it’s about time Sole lets go of the chain she’s put around A Now Not So Lucky’s so call life.  Orly hears the two women in the hall chatting and takes an illicit listen.

Sole blames herself for all the current problems.  She ought to have gone somewhere else where nobody would have known them.  Rem says you can’t pack all your troubles away and hide them in a suitcase.  

At the restaurant, A Llora thinks better of asking Ram to show the bracelet to her abue.  She agrees with him that it might just make her more anxious and wouldn’t be good for her health.   She chats with Ram about all the people they’ve lost recently.  A Llora wonders what might have been if he were still alive.  Ram swallows hard and keeps mum.

Leonora keeps Ernestina company.  TinTin rolls in to greet her and pay his respects.  He talks Leonora into going down to the cafeteria for coffee.  He pumps Erni for information about her having seen Marcelo.  He wonders if the man really is still alive.  She says it can’t be and she had to have made a mistake.  Did TinTin know him?  Tin Tin remembers being bullied by Marcelo and threatened to leave Mo alone from now on or else!!  “Naw.  Just interested in the strange circumstances,And, I’v heard so much about him from Ana Laura, his sister-in-law, and all, ” he lies. 

Orly greets ANNSLucky at the gate and gives her a shoulder to cry on.  He tries kissing her after that.  The spirit has moved him—but, apparently still not Ana Lucia.  She screams at him never to put a hand on her again!  He swears his eternal and undying love for her but to no advantage (natch) and he wanders off. 

Poor SanMarco, meanwhile, however, doesn’t know who he is when he looks in the mirror.  He feels horrible about breaking the heart of the one sister and not having the courage to face the other, his wife.  Yaki pretends to sympathize.

Maribel sees Orlando kissing Ana Lucia and jealousy finally gets the better of her.   BFF?  Hell you say!  She now greets ANNSL with a gigantic slap and lets go of all the rancor and envy she’s carried all her life long. 

Back at the hospital Erni explains it was all her imagination and that she doesn’t dare tell her granddaughters or fear of upsetting them both.  We learn that Leo was the servant while Erni was the patron’s daughter.  The two are like sisters (which in this universe ain’t all it’s held up to be…..)  Ana Lu denies any interest in Orly.  Bel-what-ain’t accuses her of wallowing in others’ admiration—especially Orly’s.  Bel-the-Bestia has always had to play second fiddle to her and she’s sick and tired of it all.  

SanMarco admits to Yaki how he hid from sight and is undecided about whether to return to his wife, Ana MiMi or not.  Yaki suggests he and Ana Lucky high-tail it in his taxito and head for the hills, never to return again.  (Of course, that would leave Ana MiMi for hi-hi-him, now wouldn’t it?) But, she misses him and still loves him!  Even Yaki heard how much.  It’s time he tell the truth to her about his loss of his memory.  Yaki says he’s not thinking things through enough.  After all, He’s not still yet been totally honest with Ana Lucky about her sister being his wife and with A Mim, How’s he going to admit that the other woman he’s madly in love with now is her other sister--not to mention her missing triplet…..After twenty years apart, they’ll hate each other all because of him.  Is that really what Santi wants? 

Bellowing Bel asks why A Lucky always has to think she deserves more than the rest of them, that she’s better than the rest of them all?  Why?  (Maybe because she is?  Most tn heroins are.  That’s what bein’ an alpha female is all about, right?) 

  • Yaki insists fleeing his past and taking up with Ana Lucia is the better thing to do.  “--After all, it’s been three years you’ve been out of Ana Letiia’s life and she’s almost ready to get over your death and start life over again.  Let her.  Why leave Ana Lucia hanging?”  Santi has been given a lot to mull over, not to mention a pass from his BFF, Yaki, to take the high (or the lower, depending on how you in Viewerville may see it) road.  (I say, “Giddyap, son!”)
