THURSDAY 25TH JANUARY, 2018 ON COLOR OF PASSION

The Old: -Leticia tells Sara about Magda’s strange behavior at the hospital, giving Leti advice about not judging her mama, etc., and passes on the message for Magda to butt out. -Mario nervously tells Magda that he’s not the best person to serve as a shoulder for Leticia to lean/cry on when she finds out about her daddy, then he shuffles away without giving her more of an explanation. -Ligia taunts Amador about how his son Rodrigo is a better lover, and he strangles her to death in his rage. The New: Amador scurries away from Ligia’s lifeless body and sinks to the floor a few feet away, in shock over the crime he’s just committed, and out of breath. He’s startled when Rod’s cell phone, which sits between him and Ligia’s corpse, begins to ring, indicating the call is coming from his home where Rod has just arrived and noticed that his phone is missing. Next, Rod tries Ligia’s house phone, rousing Amador from his stupor. He grabs Rod’s phone, slides by Ligia’s body, and dashes out the door. Another phone ringing late at night is the Casa Gaxiola house phone. Lucia answers it as she’s heading upstairs in her jammies with a glass of water. “Have you thought about what I asked?”, asks a hopeful Marcelo. Lucia calls him crazy and hangs up. Mama Viper is waiting to strike on the stairs. “Don’t tell me it was that jerk.” Lucia tells her it isn’t her business and tries to skirt by her. “I just hope you’re not STUPID enough to fall for him again.” Rebeca smirks happily as Lucia tries to keep it together and ascend the stairs. Rafaela has been stirred from her bed by the sound of Marcelo’s voice and the lights. He tells her about his midnight call to Lucia. He’s hopeful, because even though Lucia didn’t say yes, she didn’t say no either. Progress! Rafa is not impressed. She asks how things went with his old flame, Daniela. Marcelo struck out there too, and their farewell wasn’t as civil as he’d hoped. Rafa points out what he’s really feeling—GUILT. He stayed with Dani way longer than he should have, considering that he never fell in love with her. She asks him the $10K question—had Federico not died and he hadn’t come to Puebla, would he still be dating Daniela? (Well, considering that he had accepted a job in SPAIN, without consulting Dani, I think that’s a NO!) Marcelo says he doesn’t know. He then warns Rafa to prepare herself for an interrogation from Momster Milagros about the woman Federico was dating. He’s worried that when Mili finds out it was Lucia’s aunt, it will just give her even more reasons to hate Lucia. Amador enters his bedroom, and Brigida is waiting to pounce. “Do you know what time it is?! And don’t tell me that you were with Ricardo Marquez…” Amador doesn’t hear a word and doesn’t utter a word. He stares into the darkness, and then silently enters the bathroom, leaving Brigida speaking to a locked door. Inside the bathroom, he stares into the mirror, takes out Rod’s cell phone, calling his son a stupid little boy, and splashes water on his face and neck. Brigida starts to get worried and knocks on the door. “Leave me alone, and go to sleep!” Brigida does just that, but she’s clearly worried and confused. The next morning, Nazario goes to the police station to light a fire under the two detectives about his wife’s murder investigation. They update him on the latest info about Clara. They tracked her to D.F., where she had taken her son to get medical tests—so they confirmed she indeed has a sick son. But then they lost her trail. Naz doesn’t give a rat’s patoot about Clara! He and the police know that it wasn’t a woman who smothered his wife to death. Well, does he have a certain suspect in mind? Naz says he does, but he’s not going to throw it out there for the police to call him a crazy old man, since he has no proof. He needs the police to do their damn jobs and find the culprit
