ALEX's PLAN BACKFIRES

Hercules is relieved they were able to find Jose on time, thanks to Nattie but Conan reminds him there was still Alex to worry about, he could still go ahead to tell Silvia, not understanding how he’d found out in the first place. E.P comes in with beauty cream all over her face, she wants to look younger but Hector tells her she doesn’t need it. The next morning, Alex goes to the gym and immediately he greets Conan, Conan angrily hits out at him for what he tried to do. Angry in return, Alex warns him he’ll break his face if he attacked him again, adding that when anyone asked him not to do something, he goes ahead and do the opposite. Conan warns him to keep his mouth shut as it was none of his business; Silvia intervenes and stops the fight. She’s on her way to the factory but Alex tells her he has a surprise for her on the way. Reluctantly she agrees.

Laura and Lorenzo are in bed (from the look on Lorenzo’s face, he hadn’t enjoyed himself one bit); she leaves the bed to draw a bath, after she asks him to take a bath with her. Meanwhile, Lorenzo has a flashback; about the night he and Silvia  first made love.
Gloria asks Isabella why she was looking so radiant all of a sudden. Silvia suspiciously asks Alex why the surprise was in a hotel. Tony listens to Mimi’s womb, insisting he understood what their baby was saying. E.P barges in and they both tell her they have set a date for their wedding. Alas for Alex (but in my opinion, it’s just what he deserves), Jose wasn’t at the hotel and Silvia was absolutely furious, naturally believing he had lured her there for sex, refusing to listen to him and walks away. Lorenzo calls Nattie to find out what she was going to tell him about Silvia, as it made him worry. Nattie assures him it was nothing serious. Silvia angrily tells Nattie to throw Alex out if he dared set foot into the office; Nattie assured her she’ll throw any cheating scumbag out. Famous last words, Orlando walked in, dripping disgusting charm and tells Nattie he needed to talk to her. Silvia leaves him alone. He insists he loved her and missed her and wanted her back in his life. Nattie in return tells him all she felt for him was disgust and absolute rage, but he urges her to be serious. She tells him he’s filth, a hypocrite and a womaniser and wants nothing to with him but when he suddenly kisses her, she doesn’t push him away. Isabella expresses her annoyance to Lorenzo about Orlando telling Estephano about her arrest, bad mouthing him in general. She doesn’t want anyone talking to Estephano without her consent. Laura’s doctor comes by the house to run more tests on her. Laura wonders why he looks nervous when she mentions Isabella’s name. Jose shows up at the gym and confronts Hercules for not telling him about the child he had with Mechita, demanding to see Silvia.

CUANDO SEAS MIA'S FINAL EPISODE(CONTD.)

A while back, at a visitor's request, I posted the last two episodes of WHEN YOU ARE MINE but most of us don't know that the one on our screens was the abridged English version. This is what happened after the wedding in the uncut Spanish version (with subtitles instead of English dubbing).
Now, after the wedding ceremony....

Paloma went upstairs with Lenora to take off her wedding veil before going down to the courtyard where the wedding banquet was being held. Soledad came in  and handed Paloma a letter that arrived earlier from the doctor who treated her when she passed out some days back, presumably the letter contains the results of medical tests and analysis Paloma did.

People are gathering at the wedding reception; Diego, Aurelio and Jeremy drink a toast together, Avellaneda and Giancarlo(Soledad's Italian fiance) are deep in discussion, talking about the valor and strength of the people of Mexico: “We raise ourselves from whatever failure, whatever tragedy, to start again.”

Diana and Daniella catch up with their brother Diego, who is  impatiently waiting for his wife  to join the party. Everyone applauded when she finally descends the stairs with Lenora at her heels  and the band starts playing. There is an exchange of kisses between the newly married couple and then Paloma  whispered in her husband's ear.
A stunned look on Diego's face and  his excited response is “What?? Are you sure?”

Daniela calls for everyone's attention. Diego made a speech; it was the  happiest day of his life,  the great love of his life, and the only woman he has ever loved, has married him, and on top of that she just gave him the news; THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!

At that news, everyone yelled and applauded , filled with joy and happiness. The dancing begins with Diego and Paloma, and as the party goes on, everyone all end up dancing…

Seven Years Later...

Diego( still his handsome self, his hair curlier &arather longer than we last saw it) is walking in the fields calling out "Paloma!"

But instead of his wife, a beautiful little girl is crouched among the plants, she looks up as her papa approached.

"Hija, your mother's waiting for us!” Diego looks in her basket, checking out the coffee beans his little Palomita had proudly gathered before heading back to the house with her. If  one looked closely, Diego's wedding ring is flashing on his finger.

Back in the house, Paloma is looking for Aurelio, calling him but a sweet looking boy answered instead, popping out...  it's Aurelio jnr. But then Aurelio Snr. appears after she asked Jnr where his Dad was.


Avellaneda, Inez and Juan Francisco are taking a walk about how wonderful things were at Casa Blanca. They are joined by Juan Francisco's new wife... Margarita, his former secretary at El Cafetelaro and Paloma's best friend, and they walk back to the house.

As she's chatting with Martha who arrived for a visit, she smiled and held out her arms to her youngest who toddled up to her, picking the little girl up. Diego enters with little Paloma on his shoulders, followed by a small group of children; one of them a dark skinned boy(Daniella and Harold's son obviously).Diana’s and Jeremy’s little boy crying for his Mama, while Ricardito (Miguel and Berenice's son, adopted by Diego and Paloma) is sprawled out on a bench, fast asleep.
In the sitting room, little Dieguito and Soledad are watching a telenovela together , but he turns to his (still youthful looking) grandmother to say “I like the telenovela that you told to me better” and asked her to tell it again.
“It doesn’t have a title yet, but it’s the story of a girl and her mother, who collected coffee and her name was Paloma…”
“Like my mother?”
“Yes, like your mother. And how one day she found her principe azul, and his name was Diego…”
“Like my father?”
Martha, Diego & Paloma smiled from the doorway, watching. Diego puts his arms around his wife, exchanging a significant look.
And the courtyard at Casa Blanca is shown all prepared for a banquet, with family and friends all seating themselves at the table...such a happy, loving atmosphere (including a slightly older Jeremy wearing glasses, carrying his son), a serious looking  Harold speaking to his own boy. And Mariano does show up, though a little late and looking rather shy as if afraid of intruding, (who the hell invited him?).
 Paloma hugs him, happy to see him, and says there’ll be time for the two of them to talk later, as Diego welcomes him too. Paloma  proposes a toast and it’s four cheers for Hacienda Casa Blanca from everyone! There are final shots of all the happy couples...

                Juan Francisco and Margarita, Diana & Jeremy, Dani & Harold, Soledad &  Giancarlo...

                                and then a final kiss between Mr. &  Mrs. Sanchez Serrano.

                                          now, it's really...   THE END

SNIPPET: EVIL ISABELLA'S NEW PLAN

Jose is of course shocked at this revelation about Hercules’ niece being his daughter and agrees to stay and meet her, wondering if Silvia looked like her late mother. Laura puts on a seductive dress and perfume for Lorenzo but he’s still cold and indifferent, preferring to stay at home instead of going out to dinner with her. Laura is offended- he obviously still cares more about his unborn child than her and tries to convince him that she loved him. But Lorenzo obviously doesn’t love her anymore. Conan told Hercules that José decided to got to Chile instead of Venezuela to start a new life and it had been Alex who had taken him away from the first hotel, to make himself Silvia’s hero. Jose meets with Alex, eager to hear about this other daughter. He’s assured Silvia would be more than happy to meet him and is shown a photo of her. He is very moved, Silvia did look like her mother.
Nattie guessed correctly that Alex planned to introduce Silvia to José in order to redeem himself and admits she’d almost told Lorenzo that his wife and former lover were sisters. Isabella meets with Laura’s doctor with a proposition. When he refuses to listen , she blackmails him. Laura pressurizes Lorenzo to treat her more lovingly but he snappishly tells her he no longer trusted her after her lies, lies and more lies. Laura does not feel they could continue with the present arrangement.
Silvia asks Nattie to tell her what she was hiding, but she insists it was Orlando she was still thinking about. Hercules angrily scolds Alex about doing things without his consent. He admits it but claimed he only wanted to do what was best for Silvia. Hercules said it would destroy her since she’d been idolizing him when he’s the opposite of a good father and warns him to stay away from matters concerning his family. Alex sulkily consoles himself with the knowledge that everyone would have a shock the following morning. Laura makes a show of packing her things and Lorenzo apologizes, promising to try harder.
Laura’s doctor, with an expression of hate on his face, asks Isabella for time to think about what she’d said.

SNIPPET: A SHOCK FOR JOSE

Nattie visits Lorenzo at the office and almost tells him about the relationship between Silvia and Laura after he mentions the TV message. When he leaves the room, she calls Conan to look for him at Lorenzo’s house. Laura warmly welcomes José back but insults him by offering him a check in exchange for something(I don’t know what, the audio was bad) whatever it was shocked him very much. Mimi goes to see Tony who is overjoyed when she tells him to speed up the day of their wedding. Hurt and angry, José tears up the check and leaves. Hercules returns home very tired, but refuses to tell his gossipy wife anything. Conan finds José just leaving the house. He introduces himself as Hercules’ son and José is very pleased to meet him, explaining why he’d left the first hotel. Conan gives him the money as instructed.
Lorenzo gets home and a tearful Laura tells him more lies. Lysette is given the news by Mimi and Tony about pushing up their wedding day. Conan says goodbye to José at the airport after a long conversation. Jose calls Alex on the cell phone he still had with him , to say goodbye. Alex desperately tells him not to leave the country; because he had another daughter!( oh, Alex… Hercules WILL KILL YOU DEAD!)

SNIPPET: ALEX IS VERY INTEFERING!

Hercules is really horrified, why of all women did Laura have to be Silvia’s sister? Conan wonders how his late aunt could have gotten involved with such a shady character in the first place and goes out to look for him, warning Hercules NOT to tell E.P about this recent development. Tony refuses to accept money from Lorenzo for the shirt he bought but Lorenzo disapproves, it didn’t set a good example. Tony also apologizes to him about his rude attitude when Giacormo was at the hospital and reveals that it had been Laura who had suggested that he and Orlando were behind the accident because he had refused to testify against Laura.
Mimi and E.P wonder why Alex looks so happy all of a sudden; he merely tells them Silvia was on her way to accept him for good(in your dreams fool, she loves Lorenzo). E.P thinks he’s high on something while Mimi calls him delusional.
Laura puts on a sickly martyr act as she speaks to the journalist who had interviewed José, she denies throwing him out, insisting he had misunderstood her. She films her own version of the whole story, asking him to come home.(what a bitch!)
Nattie asks Silvia to tell Lorenzo what Laura did, but Silvia doesn’t feel she has anything to gain and he already knows the type of woman he was married to and he was only with her because of the baby.(at least she knows he still loves her) but her cousin insists that Lorenzo was more than ready to leave Laura and marry Silvia-there were many divorced fathers. Silvia however wants him to have access to his child, if they got back together Laura would spite him by not allowing him to see the child. Silvia longs very much to know her own father. Nattie is about to tell her the secret but Conan interrupts her. After Silvia leaves the room, he scolds Nattie severely then tells her who Silvia’s sister actually is.
Lorenzo returns home as the interview rounds off but refuses to comment when asked to, it was between Laura and José. He’s disgusted at her method, calling it overdramatic and convenient for her.
Alex calls José, who is expecting his ticket back to Venezuela. He’s not interested in Alex’s surprise but Alex insists. Nattie looks at José’s photo in the paper, filled with shock that Silvia’s sister was actually that horrible Laura, all the more reason Silvia must never know. Conon resumes his search.
Lorenzo confronts Laura on what she’d told Tony. She admits it but claimed she’d been very angry with him back then. He remarked that it was getting more difficult everyday for him to believe anything she says now.
Alex tells Silvia he had something to tell her but she is in a hurry and goes out. Hercules tells Alex he was making a fool of himself with the way he was harassing Silvia who does NOT want to get back with him, urges him to leave her alone. But the stupid fool insists he was this close to winning her back. Conan phones to tell his father he still can’t find him. As Hercules leaves to join in the search, Alex smiles smugly since he’s the only one who knows where José was. Lorenzo acts very coldly towards Laura who accuses him of treating her badly. Jose sees the message on TV and is very happy. He phones Alex just as he’s talking to Silvia, telling him that his daughter had forgiven him and he was on his way back to her house. Despite Alex’s protests he hangs up, to Alex’s fury. Silvia is very confused at his weird attitude.

SNIPPET: A VERY, VERY SHOCKING DISCOVERY!

Laura watches Silvia warily as she left the office. Lorenzo coldly refuses to allow Gloria help her look for her father as she’s very busy. Tony tells Mimi he’s now sure Conan was in love with her, but Mimi doesn’t believe it. Gloria tells Isabella about Lorenzo’s attitude towards Laura and the conversation she’d heard between Laura and Orlando-which Isabella finds ‘juicy’ and a future form of ammunition. E. P is amazed at what Hercules tells her, his visitor had been Silvia’s father! She urges him to tell Silvia about it but he’s bound by his promise to Mechita , a promise like that didn’t have an expiry date. It would do more harm than good for Silvia to meet him since he is an ex-convict. But E. P still feels it’s unfair to her and gets more surprised to hear that Jose doesn’t even know she exists at all, Mechita never got the chance to tell him she was carrying his baby! Unknown to them both, Alex is listening to the whole thing…
Hercules gives his children the shocking news.
Isabella assures Lorenzo, when asked that ,she didn’t know where Jose was. She goes through Silvia’s clothes, pronouncing them as ‘excellent quality.’
Nattie and Conan aren’t pleased at their father’s decision and are shocked to hear Jose didn’t even know she existed and that Silvia had an unknown half-sister. Hercules asks them both for money to buy a pane ticket for him. They aren’t happy but obey him all the same. Conan is sent to the hotel. Meanwhile , Jose gets a visitor, Alex.
Mimi thinks over what Tony had said about Conan, wondering if it was true. Silvia receives a surprise visitor-Laura. Laura tells her to stay away from her husband on her child’s behalf. Silvia is disgusted at Laura’s attempt to use her child as a trump card, calling her ‘a snake’. Laura gets angry and sneeringly asks if by selling her rags, she’ll be a big name. In return , Silvia points out at least she didn’t have to hide her past like Laura and with the speed of lightning grabs her fist when the stupid woman attempts to hit her, warning her not to try it. Laura vowed to pay her out. (So much for asking for forgiveness).
Conan finds the hotel room empty!
Lorenzo goes to the boutique and congratulates Tony on the good sales.
Alex moves José to a new hotel and gives him a cell phone to call him when necessary- adding that he had someone very special he wants him to meet(in order to make Silvia love him again no doubt, but Hercules will KILL him for this interference).
Isabella receives more info from Antonia, laving before Laura could see her. Laura is informed that a journalist had showed up to interview her about her father.
Silvia is surprised that her uncle had postponed his honeymoon and tells Nattie about Laura’s visit, feeling very sorry for Lorenzo. Conan tells his father he could not find José. Conan returns to tell his father he could not find José but is ready to go and look for him. Hercules begins to describe him. Conan listens and is filled with horror- he shows him the day’s paper which had a photo of Laura’s long lost father and his interview, asking if this was the man he was describing. Hercules sees that it was!
He said faintly, ‘ Silvia and Laura are BLOOD SISTERS…?’
(What a SECRET to hide from Silvia! What will she say? What will Laura say? What will Isabella say? Most important, what will LORENZO say, he’s married to one sister but very much in love with the other sister!)

SNIPPET: A SUSPICIOUS THOUGHT...

Lorenzo angrily confronts Laura over news on TV and in the papers but the shameless liar denies throwing Jose out.
Tony accuses Conan of being in love with Mimi when the latter points out that Mimi wasn’t comfortable about his sudden proposal. Conan strongly denies it, however.
Hercules takes Jose away to a coffee house to talk. Silvia brings some samples of her clothes to Lorenzo’s office. He’s very pleased to see her and asks her to see him for a few minutes, which she reluctantly agrees to. Jose told Hercules about how his daughter had thrown him out but didn’t blame her as he hadn’t been a good father to hear and is sad to hear from Hercules that Mechita was dead. Hercules gives him some money to get a room at a nearby hotel.
Silvia is shocked to hear from Lorenzo that Laura had thrown her father out of the house. He also told her he was unhappy and relationship with Laura was complicated. Silvia reminded him again that she’d been abandoned by her own father, he couldn’t abandon his. Lorenzo doesn’t see why he couldn’t raise his child without having to live with a woman he no longer loved. Silvia merely looks at him sadly.
Laura tells Orlando she’ll never forgive him for acting as Isabella’s lawyer, especially after the time they had shared, which Orlando refuses to talk about. Gloria overhears that part from the door. She enters and Laura asks her to help find her father. E.P is furious Hercules was still not back and calls Isabella to vent her annoyance. Hercules enters and E.P is surprised to see him looking so shocked. As Silvia receives the contracts from Lorenzo, Lorenzo wants her to stay a while longer. But before she can reply, Laura enters the office.
