TUESDAY UPDATE ON FALL INTO TEMPTATION EPISODE 25
Laura and Lola are getting coffee. Well, Laura’s getting information and Lola’s getting screwed by the press. Oh, she’s there to accuse Lola of having an affair with Damian as well as with Juan The Stalker-Abuser. And what about Tio Vicente and his relationship with her mama and papa and her papa with Raquel? After all, he’s just formally accused Raq and Santi of murder and conspiracy to murder (I supposed that’s what they call it in Mexico.) Lola, upset and naïve beyond words, tells this reporter who, besides believing she sits on the right hand of Dios and thinks she’s better than her husband at detective-work, (--why, she is woman-reporter; hear her roar? ) that Tio Vicente is a vicious drunk who’s always spouting off senseless and meaningless crap. Therefore she really had no knowledge of ol’ Tio. And, Raq and papa are just helping each other out to emotionally. So back off and keep our family and Raq’s out of the papers, the press, tv. She’s never to darken their door again. Got it?
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.
