Thursday episode... updates requested please!


Well it seems tonight is the last episode ... 2 loooong hours worth ! It better be worth the time! I promise I will not miss it.

I am sorry to report that I missed last night's episode as I had to work. I am requesting, please, all the updates from last night. I figure it will have alot of important details to pull this novella together.. at least I hope so. I will be truly grateful to anyone who is willing to post this information for me.

I am posting this early so when I watch tonight I will know what is going on... well, I will try!

Thanks very sincerely for all your help.

I'm not sure if I remember everything that happened last night, but I'll try. Incidentally, I think the two-hour final episode is on Monday.

The priest phones Maria in Aruba and tells her that Hector and Estrella are being threatened. Without ever hearing who is threatening them or how(that we hear), this is enough for Maria and Leonel to jump on a plane to Mexico City.

The priest goes to the Mansion San Roman and tells Alba that he knows she has Hector and Estrella held captive. She denies it, and he goes into a room to call the police. Alba grabs the phone from him and locks him in the room.

The chauffer tells Rebecca that Alba has Transito, the maid, locked up. Rebecca pretends that she knows nothing about this, goes to the room with him, and opens the door. Like an idiot, the chauffer rushes into the room and hugs Transito, while Rebecca locks the door behind both of them. (Why are the good people in novelas always such idiots?) This now makes a total of five people locked up in various rooms of the mansion.

Meanwhile in Aruba, the guards come to Esteban's cell to escort him to the judge's chamber. There, the judge asks where Esteban's lawyer is, and Esteban says that he had to go to Mexico City. The judge tells Esteban that time has run out, and the sentence will have to be carried out in a few days.

In Mexico City, Rebecca tells Alba (over the yelling and banging of the people locked up) that things have really become complicated and that she'll need even more than triple the amount of money that Alba originally offered. Alba goes and puts some rat poison in a glass of wine. She offers the glass to Rebecca and drinks out of another glass herself. After Rebecca drinks the glass, Alba tells her that she is going to die like the rat that she is. Rebecca falls to the floor, foams at the mouth with something that looks like shaving cream, and goes into convulsions.

Maria arrives at the mansion and rescues Hector and Estrella from the bodega where they were held hostage. Alba goes to the top of the mansion and threatens to jump off. Hector, Estrella, and Carmella are all on the ground begging her not to jump. (Why?) Maria goes up on the roof herself and begs her not to. A couple of policemen are also up on the roof. Alba finally jumps. She is put on a stretcher with her face all bloody. The priest and the family tell her to ask for the pardon of God. Somehow after jumping three floors, she has the ability to make a speech about how she was driven by love of Esteban and hate for Maria, and she's not going to ask for pardon. As she is being carried off, Demetrio somehow manages to talk to her out of the earshot of everyone, even the EMS people. He tells her that he killed Patricia, and not to worry, that he's about to kill Maria. Alba looks shocked, and then dies.

Just a thing or two I thought important to note. Leonel was going to go to Mexico with Maria, but Demetrio volunteers. So, Leonel stayed with Esteban as his counsel for the moment. Fabiola decides to leave Bruno, saying she's tired of the abuse and is going back to Mexico. He catches up with her at the airport to apologize. They both end up going back to Mexico and apparently straight to the San Roman mansion. Greco goes to the mansion because he's worried about Estrella. Poor Carmella was just coming home from the hospital to chill when she finds EVERYBODY outside watching Alba about to committ suicide. (Daniela is still in Aruba and about to ID Ana Rosa's body.)

I thought last night's episode was pretty good. The actor who plays Deme was fun to watch as he acted innocent and concerned with a smirk on his face. The scene where alba is all bloody with her eye balls bugging out and Deme leans in and whispers, "I killed Patricia" was priceless in my humble opinion. . .

I loved Abrazame Muy Fuerte. I was thinking of getting the dvd, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it.

Oh thank you..your updates help ! I did get to see Alba's eyes bugging out last night! She is as freaky as Demetrio... I was wondering if she was going to turn out to have a closet full of men's clothes... but they spared us that one ! :-) Even if her love for Esteban was misguided, what I found even more incredible is that it lasted at at insanely passionate level for at least 20 years.... probably more... most people kind of get pooped out by unrequited love after awhile...tooooo unbelievable!
