A DATE... WITH 2 SLEAZY EX BOYFREINDS

Hercules complains about E.P‘s cooking but José didn’t seem to mind the food, calling it a ‘work of art’. Isabella wants Sylvia and Laura to meet each other as half sisters, hoping she’ll make a fool of herself when she sees Sylvia and Alex having dinner at the restaurant, and be shocked enough to have a miscarriage. Horsy, who is to take Laura to the same restaurant for dinner, gives her a surprised look. Giacormo congrats E.P on her marriage to Hercules and promises to design a wedding dress for Mimi; the young couple want a ‘rap wedding’, much to E.P’s disapproval. Alex promises a distrusting Hercules that he’ll behave himself around Sylvia. Sylvia and Nattie prepare for their dates (yuck again). The bell rings but it’s Lorenzo. Sylvia is immediately uncomfortable but he actually came to see José. Giacormo remembers the first time he and Nattie had kissed in his kitchen. He calls Orlando and fixes a time they’ll meet. José joins Hercules and E.P at a game of cards. Lorenzo and Giacormo meet, pleased to see each other again. The latter isn’t happy at all about Nattie’s action and confesses that he’d fought his feelings for a long time but in New York he realized that he not only loved Nattie, he now desired her as a woman!
Sylvia & Alex are at dinner, Isabella watching them from afar. Horsy & Laura enter and immediately see them both. The 2 women regard each other silently…

LOOK WHO'S BACK IN TOWN

Laura receives another unexpected visitor, this time it’s Giacormo, back from New York and fully recovered, no longer using a cane to walk. He still doesn’t regard Laura like before; she’s no longer his best friend, to her distress. He’d just come from the airport and wanted to hear what’s been happening. She tells him Nattie had gone back to Orlando. A shadow came over his handsome face. Sylvia showed José her office and the line of work. Tony isn’t pleased when Mimi comes with a reporter to interview him about Titus’ dirty trick. They both rush to hug Giacormo when he appears at their elbow. Horsy is very snippy towards Nattie but Nattie throws it right back at her. Lorenzo is very angry with Isabella for what she did to his precious Sylvia but she managed to slide through the scolding, reminding him about their present project. Conan goes to the boutique and is happy to see Giacormo was back and angrily said that Orlando must have brain washed his sister when Giacormo brings it up. Alex visits Sylvia who is noticeably warmer towards him (yuck, I hate him). Nattie attends the office meeting; exchanging barbs with Evil Isabella (from now on I’ll nickname her E.I) and glares with Horsy. After she and Lorenzo leave, Isabella is amazed to hear from Horsy that Nattie had forgiven Orlando, hinting that it won’t last long (she’s up to something again). Laura is amazed and angry to hear from José that Sylvia is her sister!

E.I IS SUCH A BITCH!

Sylvia is shocked, José stricken and Conan absolutely furious. Sylvia is sure it’s a lie but her father sadly confirmed it, amidst Isabella’s taunts. Conan forcibly throws Isabella out. Orlando laughingly accepts Nattie’s ‘conditions’. Lorenzo assures Laura he’s warned Isabella to leave her alone. Sylvia is numb at this sudden info. José tells her Laura’s mother had been just like Laura. Conan angrily tells Nattie about Isabella’s latest prank and she consoles Sylvia who was reminiscing her past relationship with Lorenzo- her brother-in-law! Hercules is very angry about the whole thing, calling Isabella a mean woman (an understatement, as we all know). Nattie informed Lorenzo over the phone about what ‘that stupid idiot Isabella’ had done. José tells E.P what had happened and she isn’t pleased- she’d wanted to be the one to tell Sylvia. Conan is furious to hear form Nattie that she was back with Orlando. She insists that Orlando was a changed man (not to me, he’s a pig) and pleads with her brother to give him a chance and not tell Hercules yet. Conan threatens to kill Orlando if he made Nattie suffer again. (considering the last time Orlando had cheated on her, Conan had gone to the office and had given Orlando 2 black eyes and a sprained arm before Lorenzo could get him off, this is NOT an idle threat, folks).

NOW FOR SYLVIA...

Laura received Tony and Mimi, wondering why they’d come to visit her all of a sudden. (By the way, she was wearing the most VULGAR blue open-weave top in that episode. Mimi’s purpose was to see if Laura knew about her connection with Silvia but she found nothing. Silvia tells Hercules she was leaving his house as she could no longer trust them after the stunt they’d pulled. Jose tried to calm her down but she’s insistent. Laura is very surprised at the way Tony and Mimi left without saying goodbye. As Sylvia is packing her things, José points out she was being unfair, the family hadn’t meant any harm, but she’s still very angry at being lied to. Nattie however tells her Mechita had being the one to insist Sylvia was never to be told about Jose and reminds her cousin the family had shown her nothing but love since she moved in with them, therefore she should stop acting like a spoilt brat. Sylvia tearfully calms down. Conan assures Hercules Sylvia had forgiven them but they both warn José never to tell her Laura was her (ugh!) sister. Isabella is angry to hear from Horsy (my nickname for long faced Gloria) that Lorenzo really wants to her to leave, boasting of the power he didn’t know she wielded. She remembers when he was scolding her that he hadn’t mentioned she leave Sylvia alone- she will reveal Jose’s secret to her. Horsy warns her of Lorenzo’s reaction as it was Sylvia he loved but Isabella is very vindictive- Laura and Sylvia were irritating thorns in her flesh, because of them Lorenzo wasn’t with her, therefore she’ll destroy them both.(first class BITCH!) Tony and Mimi watch the video awards on T.V with E.P. alas, Titus won! Tony leaves in rage. Nattie joins Orlando at the restaurant and reads to him her list of conditions. Silvia, José and Conan are having coffee when Isabella shows up like a hovering vulture; and told Sylvia that Laura was her half sister!

Please hold on!!!!!!!!!

Normally i write down the episodes but i'm yet to get the change to go to a cybercafe and post it, alas, it has'nt been easy for your host at all. pls forgive and hold on, you won't be left in suspense for long.
