Caray, Caray!

The conversation between Lucio and Fausto was intense. Lucio was well-spoken and convincing, handled it very well. And then to turn out to be bluffing! Way to get protection for him and his new mujer.

Connie sure is on the ball. She got the money and the gun! Still, even just hearing her say Bruno is a regular voice puts me on edge.

doorMat was very idiotic last night in accusing Abi of kissing two different guys (3 if you count him). Showing the classic symptoms of Stoopidity. Doctor, cure thyself.

Max is overacting his role so much that he is a caricature of somebody playing a caricature of a rich boy. I loved it when Abi slapped him!

"Abi, hello!"
"THWACK!"

Fausto choke count - 2
 

Yeah Mat annoyed me too TN4ever ,it was so awful acting him that stupid. My favorite scene was when Lucio finally acted like a true man against Fausto /Satan instead of begging like old grandma for mercy.
I am starting to hate Max but i guess he will be redeemed,no spoilers intended but i think he will in the end get the hots for Nieves and will get redeemed but guess what ,i thing Ni will be wasting Diegos time as well.
So far he still a turd.

I hate Connie so much but i guess she turned out usefull at last ,if she only began cursing Bruto in her sleep!
 

So Connie did keep the hidden money that she found. It wasn't clear watching the show. She got the gun too. Now if she can keep them away from either Macaria or devil dog, that will be great.

Maybe Connie isn't so crazy after all.

I can't figure Max out at this point but yes, I agree, he was overacting Friday night.

I certainly be reading the recap when it is posted.

I'll watch this episode later today, but I'm looking forward to the recap. Looks like the gun was also taken by Crazy Connie. Good!
 

Crazy Connie is a mystery still. Perhaps she has bouts of sanity and knows she's got to play it close to the vest during her saner moments.

I figure she'll get the envelope of money back to Abi soon with some white lie about how she found it. And, it irritates me, thinking that Mac simply hid it under her mattress after having stolen it from under her daughter's mattress. Dumb.
 

"Doctor, cure thyself." Good one!

"The conversation between Lucio and Fausto was intense." ITA, rather noble--and it's all because his kid, spoiled rotten jerk that Max is, told him the truth! IMO that speech gives us glimpses into the good, trusting kid Lucio must have been before Fausto got his clutches into him. Now we see that if Lucio hadn't shot Gerrardo, he must have known that Fausto would have found Lucio and shot him somewhere, sometime, sooner or later to keep him quiet.
========

Max may get redemption before it's all over, but I see Diego as Nieve's significant other before all of this is over.
 

I'm watching my recording now, and even though I hadn't picked a side between Diego and Mateo before, I have officially picked a side after this episode. Before, I excused Mateo's naivete about Diana and his insistence on not listen to "gossip" because that came from a good place of trust. But when he just accused Abi of basically being a ho and believing some dude he found accosting her, whom he has never met in his life, over her version of what happened (when she doesn't need to give him an explanation)...well, that did it! He's officially now classified as a lame galan, the kind that deserves to be thrown over for galan #2, although he'll still likely get the heroine at the end.
 

I agree that the actor playing Max is overacting. Hopefully he'll settle into the role and dial it back a few notches.

Simona is really baiting Fausto. I'm not so sure she's going to still be alive by the end of elections. At least with Barragan, they just pulled strings to have him moved to another town.
 

I ran this on demand but was only able to listen to a few scenes.

I am very interested in hearing what Lucio said to Fausto (especially after reading your comments Jardinera) and I am very confused as to what Max is doing - accosting Abi and mouthing off.

Looking forward to your recap Eli.

If Max is trying to convince Abi to sell him La Enramada, he is going about it the wrong way. Sexually assaulting the owner of the property you are trying to buy is just stupid. That weak apology later isn't going to do it either. I don't get how he thinks he's going to manage to get the property. It seems his plan is to then give it to his father so that he can be a big boss man for real, and not the "gato" he is now.

Diana- I'm looking forward to the recap of Lucio's impassioned speech too. The gist of it was he lied about having the gun and said he was not going to give it to Fausto, nor would he give it to the police. He was going to hold on to it to ensure that Mac didn't give it to the cops and hurt Fausto, and that Fausto wouldn't hurt Mac. He admitted that he LOVES them both and does not want either of them hurt. He spoke about how he has loved and respected Fausto since he was a child and has stained his hands in blood for him, yet Fausto does not respect him. He demands that Fausto treat him respect, especially while his son is around.
 

Anxiously waiting for recap.

But who is Nieves. Is she Helena's maid??

Ann-NYC

 

Ann-NYC- Yes. They hired Nieves at El Enramada because she came with her father who is one of the new workers at Enramada. That whole scene with her arriving with Helena was kind of funny because she calls Helena patrona, but in truth Abi is her real patrona and she doesn't seem to get that. Abi also needs to start throwing her weight around as the owner a bit more. It's all fine and good that she has Diego, Benito, and Helena taking care of things there while she attends to Renata, flirts with Mateo, and plans to go to college. But it's HER name on the deed and HER name on the loan, so if anything happens she's the one accountable. Time to start making it clear to everyone that she's the boss.
 

Thanx so much Vivi.

Ann-NYC

 

The Luc talk was quite unsuprising and Max annoys me a bit ,i hope he abolishes his nasty persona. Playing stalker is not going to get him anywhere. I dont know why Motor and Tony have to hang out with that creep ,my guess is because of the Lucio -Motor plotline. Tony seems to be quite irrelevant to the story but i hope that changes soon,he just cant seem to grab a hold on me i guess its the actor.

As for Sim i think she will live but no one knows . She is probably gonna get hoaxed at the election ,maybe accused of falsyfing votes? Or the whole town is going to know that Tony has affairs at midnight?
 

Thank you Vivi! Appreciate your valuable insight.

As high strung and as nasty as Max is, he is genuinely put off by Fausto and the way he treats his father. Of course, that doesn't stop Max from treating his father with total disrespect either.

I didn't think Lucio had it in him. Very interesting.

DoorMat! LOL!
