Roberta asks if she has a plan. Fina only reads her the front page about Hon being in jail, Roberta tells her not to talk about that. To much is happening to her family.

Matias and Roberta argue over the fact she doesn’t want a divorce and that he is stuck with her. He said that he does not love her and she does not love him, Roberta smugly says that maybe over ten years he will learn to love her, he pushes her away and says that will never happen, as he tries to leave Roberta smugly says that his last name and his money are hers. Matias gladly reminds her he has no money and that she would get none of it anyway, she is not having a baby, and she is not entitled to a dime of his money so she will be married to him for ten years,but will get no money. (doing the happy dance for Matias) Roberta looks ill like she might be sick.

MONDAY ON COLOR OF PASSION EPISODE 75

Refresher: Lucia and Ramon discuss Nora's case and his crush on Lucia. Brigida faces cold reality of Amadiva's mistakes. Marcelo interrupts the Lucia/Ramon tea and it looks like we might get an exciting confrontation.

This Episode: Some people find out some secrets and some people are afraid to tell people secrets. Plus a picture of MC Becky!

We do not get an exciting introduction between Marcelo and Ramon. The two men make their introductions and that's really about it.

Neither one has much to say. Lucia rushes Marcelo out of there. He asks her why she's in a rush. She wants to find Nora and the gun. (I almost went with Nora's Got a Gun for my 90s song title for the post heading.) Marcelo notices that Lucia almost didn't seem to want Marcelo there, but she says it's only because she is worried about her father not seeing a cardiologist.
Nora talks to Al. She wants to know all the scoop he has about Ricardo and Rebeca, and to verify what she has heard about their long-ago affair and Rebeca's allegations that he attempted to rape and blackmail her. Well that should keep Al's heart ticking! Nora is thinking this is what drove Al to seek a divorce and tries to defend her mother. Alonso clarifies that he's seeking a divorce because of many changes in Rebeca, and that Ricardo has little to do with it. Nora continues to advocate for Rebeca, and Alonso reiterates his position. Then Alonso tells Nora that she can live with him after he moves out, and in fact, he would be pleased if she did.
Norma is leaving work late and can't find a taxi. Naz offers to drive her home. This strangely romantic music plays.
As they depart, Lalo follows them out the factory door and turns out the lights. Then he goes to a rare wall telephone and makes a call to Tere to confirm the details for their date to the wedding. (Tere says that Rebeca will kill her if she catches her getting a personal call, lol.) After he hangs up, he locks eyes with that awful Vinicio who has come around the bend. They have a moment while Lalo makes a show of locking up the factory and dangling the keys. After Lalo leaves, Vinicio dials *69 to see who he called and gets the Mansion Gaxiola. He gets this weird glint in his eye and says "Teresita" with a creepy smile. I do not like this at all!
Norma and Naz arrive at her house and have some awkward goodbye conversation as she indicates to him she lives alone. But it turns out they've both been invited to the wedding tomorrow. They awkwardly make plans to go together. I'm sorry, they're a little too awkward; I think I'm team Rafiella if Naz must have a new girlfriend, but I'm really team too soon after Trini.
Magdalena and Mario are looking at their wedding gifts and friskily throwing linens at each other.

They are sad some of their dearly departed friends and family can't be there. Mario wonders why Magdalena doesn't want Rebeca there. Mags clarifies that Rebeca has Done. Bad. Things. to Mags that definitely would get her uninvited to anyone's wedding.
Alonso comes into the bedroom and delivers his divorce papers to Rebeca. She promptly tears them up.

Alonso doesn't understand why Rebeca wants to stay with him when he clearly doesn't love her anymore. She tells him that she has loved him from the first day she saw him. (This got my hopes up for a Horacio Poncheri playing young Alonso flashback but nope.) She adds this is why he shouldn't believe the allegations that she was the reason Ricardo left Mags at the altar. Alonso picks up on the fact that she was in love with him even when he was with Adriana and starts to raise his suspicions that Rebeca had something to do with Adriana's death. Rebeca vigorously denies this. Alonso is not convinced and asks Rebeca to swear upon Nora's life that she had nothing to do with Adriana's death. Rebeca is furious that Alonso would invoke Nora in this argument. Alonso backs down from that. But he promises to uncover the truth and tells Rebeca that the papers she tore up were only a copy; the divorce is happening!
Marcelo arrives home and Rafi rushes to warn him: She's BAAAAAAACKKKK.

Yup, Momster has arrived and posted herself in Marcelo's bedroom after Dani threw her out. She tearfully tells her son how she offended and hurt she is from Dani's eviction. She also is way too worried about a son's ex-girlfriend who spent the night out of her own home and tries to get Marcelo to talk to Dani. Marcelo points out as the ex-boyfriend he's not in a position to do that to a grown woman who has her own life. Momster wants to tell Dani's father. Marcelo convinces her not to do that. Momster then guilts Marcelo into letting her return to live there. He really has no choice, poor guy.
The next morning, Lucia checks on Alonso. He looks better. Now I'm really worried! He wants to go to the factory to work, and not to the cardiologist. Things are together. His divorce is on track. Now he just needs Lucia to marry Marcelo and get out of the house before Rebeca hurts Lucia in retaliation for Alonso leaving her. Lucia is like, please, I can handle her.
Brigida and Rod meet for a meal. He's having trouble finding work. She mentions Amador's being forced to give up his partnership and that they might sell the home. She's actually sad for Amador, as in her eyes, he's worked hard. Ugh. She wonders if he could come home and they could resume their old family life. Rod tells her there's no way and encourages her to leave him. She says she's not brave like Rod. Rod says he's not brave, because if he were, there's no way he would have been stupid and lost Lucia. He thinks every day about how it would have turned out if he had married her. Brigida adds "or Nora." Rod simply encourages Brigida to be careful of Nora; she's not like she seems.
Roman calls Nora to schedule an appointment. She blows him off.
Nora asks Lucia (who is clomping loudly down the hallway) if she's found the gun yet (LOL!) Lucia says no, and Nora says well you searched my room, I guess I don't have it! Lucia retorts that she hasn't told Al yet, but if she's left with no choice, she will. Nora is like, eh, go ahead and tell Alonso, and tell Roman too. They like to talk about my nonsense. But you are all wasting your time.
Marcelo gives some documents to feeling-better Alonso who makes fun of Lucia wanting him to see a doctor. The two dummies laugh at this. Ugh. Alonso says it's normal for parents to pass before the children, and don't save him when it happens. UGH! Alonso says it pleases him that Lucia is engaged to a guy like Marcelo and asks what Momster thinks about it. Marcelo asks why he's asking, and Alonso mentions the visit from Momster, where she asked Lucia to tell her about the woman involved with Fede. Marcelo gets some serious anxiety about how to answer and tries to deflect by saying Fede killed himself, but Alonso presses for the identity of the woman. Does he know her. Oh do you ever, Al. Marcelo tells him that he is afraid of how the woman will react when she is outed. Norma puts a call through and Marcelo is saved by the bell this time. Before Alonso takes the call and Marcelo leaves, Marcelo tells him they will talk later and he does want to clarify the matter.
Nora visits Magdalena and invites herself inside.
Lucia and Marcelo discuss how Marcelo almost told Alonso about Rebeca. Marcelo is afraid to tell him. Lucia is pre-occupied and worried and they agree to talk later that night about it. But first, the wedding! They will meet at the church. Lucia needs to help Mags get ready.
Nora asks Magdalena if it's true that Ricardo left her at the altar due to Rebeca. Magdalena simply replies that Nora's mom has some major flaws. Nora defends her mom. Magdalena tells her that she doesn't want to argue and hey she's got a new wedding to get ready for. This is the first Nora has heard of the wedding. Magdalena reluctantly has to invite her. Nora is flummoxed and rushes out of there with a "hope what happened to you last time doesn't happen again! Oops sorry didn't mean it!"
On her way out, Nora bumps into arriving Lucia and says that she was there to congratulate their aunt. Lucia rushes in to see what Nora was really doing there. Mags fills her in - it seems that Nora is developing a few doubts about her mom. Lucia says, "If only she knew everything her mom has done." Mags feels kind of bad for Nora, but Lucia mentions that Nora has her own secrets and tells her about the break-in to Marcelo's apartment and stealing the gun. Mags is understandably concerned about a missing gun in the hands of Nora. Lucia adds that she's worried about Alonso's health too and his search to find out the identity of the woman that brought Marcelo to town. It's all too much. Especially for Mags who just wants to get ready for her wedding and reminds Lucia about it. They redirect themselves to wedding preparations.
Brigida returns home to a frazzled maid, who says Amador has locked himself if Rod's room all day. Brigida busts in to find an out-of-it Amadiva on the floor there. He cries out that they lost the house, they've lost everything, his son hates him and he wants to die. And it's all Marcelo's fault. Brigida comforts him.
Lalo runs to Marcelo. He's rushing to complete work and get to his big date for the wedding with Tere. Marcelo gives him a nice tie to wear on the date and helps him tie it. Lalo is touched that they are true friends. He wants Marcelo to be the witness when he marries Tere! (Whoa Lalo you're only on your second or third date here.) Marcelo comments that he has a little personal business to take care of for that to happen.
Magda is having an updo for her wedding. She looks pretty. Lucia gets a call from Roman, who tells her about Nora blowing off his attempt to schedule an appointment. He also wants Lucia to know he knows she loves her boyfriend. LOL, Lucia is aware. Lucia is like yeah, thanks for the call with these big QTF, why are you bothering me eyes. She returns to the far more important item: Mags' hairdo for the wedding.
Nora comes into Rebeca's bedroom. Did Rebeca know there's a wedding today? Rebeca knew there was a wedding, but not that it was today and sniffs that Mags didn't invite her. Nora leaves with a parting shot that she guesses that Alonso is bringing Lety's mom as his date.
Ricardo is visiting Dani's pad. She tells him that her father pays for it. We get a little back story and learn that Dani's mom is dead and her dad travels and pays for everything, but really they don't communicate. Dani is basically alone, but Ricardo tells her now he cares for her. Then he gets a mysterious call. He tells the caller to give him 5-10 minutes and he'll call back. He makes a vague excuse to Dani. She makes him promise not to leave her alone too long. As they smooch, Momster uses her key to come in and startles them.

Momster is gobsmacked to see this but quickly recovers and asks who the hell is Dani with? Dani tells her it's none of her business and Ricardo scoots.
Rod tells his mom she won't go to the wedding and she wants nothing to do with him. Sergio overhears and asks who he was talking about. Rod tells him his mom says his dad is depressed and she wants Rod to see him, but Rod refuses. Sergio encourages him to go, as it is still his dad after all.
Momster tells Dani that Ricardo is old enough to be her father. Dani retorts that he treats her better than Marcelo did. They trade a few more insults and overbearing mom'isms. Did Momster come to spy? No, just to get her things. Dani tells her to get them, and give her the key so you can't come back in again, which Momster does.
Ricardo gets a visit from Nora. She reminds him they have met before. He recalls meeting her at Leti's house and that Nora wanted nothing to do with the people who lived there. Nora says that's true, but she's there to talk about her mother and the things she has done. Ricardo tries to play dumb, and Nora tells him not to play dumb. She knows he tried to slander her and rape her. Ricardo scoffs and says that Rebeca seduced him back in the day so that he would leave Mags. Nora gets uncomfortable and tries to leave, but Ricardo roughly grabs her and tells her he must show her something. He shows her a picture of Rebeca in her MC Becky days (see screencap above). Then he turns it around to show a love note Rebeca penned to him:

He reads the note which basically says, "For the man who had the passion that no man ever made me feel, with all my love, MC Becky." Nora is agape. That wedding is going to be nuts tonight!

MONDAY ON KILL ME HEAL ME - EPISODE 17 ON JOY PRIME @6:AM

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE




Discovering that Ri-jin’s name used to be Cha Do-hyun shakes Do-hyun to his core. Now he understands that he was given Ri-jin’s place on the family register, which allowed Seungjin Group to erase all traces of the girl who lived in the basement.

Do-hyun clutches Se-gi’s stuffed bear to his chest and wails, helpless in the face of this terrible truth. At the family restaurant, Ri-jin also breaks down after finding the photo of her younger self with the woman she thought was Do-hyun’s mother.

Ri-on and their parents come rushing in and hold Ri-jin while she cries, lost in the rush of memories. She’s completely lost to the present, not reacting to her parents’ words, so Ri-on goes to get a sedative.

We flash back to twenty-one years ago, with little Ri-jin (I’ll continue to use their current names to keep things simple) playing on a swing. Her mother scolds her for taking chances, but she doesn’t stay mad for long. A man arrives at the edge of the park; it’s Do-hyun’s grandfather, then-chairman of Seungjin.

He has come to America to convince Seo-yeon to take the reins of Seungjin Group. Joon-pyo has run away, presumably for good, and there is no one as capable as Seo-yeon to take over the company.

Seo-yeon wants nothing to do with the company, but Grandpa plays on her weak point: her daughter’s future. Seo-yeon is dead broke, and her daughter will always face scorn for being born out of wedlock. Grandpa offers her a future as the heir of Seungjin Group, as long as Seo-yeon places her on Joon-pyo’s family register.



Grandma Seo welcomes Seo-yeon into the house under the impression that Ri-jin is Joon-pyo’s child. She cheers up noticeably after seeing Ri-jin, though she wonders where Joon-pyo is, and why he’s not here to see how well his daughter has grown.

Joon-pyo is in hiding with little Do-hyun, living under an assumed identity. He tells Do-hyun that hiding your name can help you live freely, which is what he wants to do in life. His idea of happiness is sailing around in a boat of his own, doing whatever takes his fancy and not getting scolded for it.

Do-hyun promises to buy his father that boat. When he does, they will name it the “Perry Park.”

Do-hyun’s mom badgers Joon-pyo to beg for forgiveness from his family, so that Do-hyun can be placed on the family register. Joon-pyo says he cut all ties, but Mom leaves him with an ultimatum: If he wants to do right by his son, he will return to Seungjin Group.

Accordingly, Joon-pyo takes Do-hyun back to Seoul, promising that Mom will join them soon. This results in the homecoming scene we saw before, when Joon-pyo returns to find Seo-yeon already living in the main residence, with a child he knows can’t be his own.

The chairman won’t allow Joon-pyo’s son to be added to the register, since Seo-yeon’s child is already listed there. Out in the hallway, Grandma Seo hears that Ri-jin isn’t actually her son’s daughter. Gah, the web is getting so tangled!



The children introduce themselves as Cha Do-hyun and Cha Joon-young, and they seem to take to each other immediately. They jump on a trampoline in the yard, laughing as if they don’t have a care in the world.

In the present, Grandma Seo learns that someone has leaked the news of Joon-pyo’s coma, which weakens her position considerably in the eyes of the world. Grandma asks Do-hyun’s mother if she was responsible for this, which she firmly denies.

But no sooner does Grandma leave to do damage control than Mom calls Ki-joon’s father to commend him for putting her information to good use. She reminds him of his promise to place Do-hyun in control of some of Seungjin’s subsidiaries.

Ki-joon overhears the phone conversation between his father and Do-hyun’s mother. He’s curious about what deal is so important that it requires giving away important subsidiaries of Seungjin Group, and to Do-hyun’s mother at that. Dad says he doesn’t need to know, and should simply benefit from the results.

Grandma Seo stalks through the company hallway, icily ignoring Ki-joon’s father outside the elevator. When she reaches her office, however, she finds Chae-yeon waiting for her.

Do-hyun is still in his apartment, calmer now after coming to terms with the truth of his name. He has learned that there was a request to change Cha Do-hyun’s gender as listed on the registry from female to male, and suspects that this is the role his grandmother played in the events of twenty-one years ago.



Chae-yeon has come to Grandma Seo to propose a deal: Her family’s shares in exchange for Grandma supporting her relationship with Do-hyun. Chae-yeon also asks that Grandma give Do-hyun real power once she strengthens her position, and pointedly requests that Grandma be the only in-law relation that she will have in marriage.

Do-hyun is exercising when Chief Ahn tells him about the news article outing Joon-pyo’s coma. Chief Ahn wants to know whether he’ll go to Grandma Seo, since even though she’s been dealt a serious blow she’s not the type to ask for help. Isn’t Do-hyun worried that Ki-joon’s family might take over Seungjin Group?

“That can’t happen,” Do-hyun declares. He’s going to make Seungjin Group his, no matter what. But he wants to let Grandma Seo stew in her own mess a while longer, so that she’ll be desperate enough to come looking for him first.

Chief Ahn delivers a photograph of the staff members who worked in the Seungjin mansion on the day of the fire. Do-hyun looks through their faces and recognizes Ri-jin’s mother, whom he met before while pretending to be Perry Park.

Ri-jin’s family has called Dr. Seok to check on her, and he reassures them that she’s physically healthy. But he asks if anything happened recently to give her a shock, and Dad just says that getting fired from her job as “that chaebol’s physician” upset her. In her own way, says Dad, Ri-jin took a lot of pride in that job.

After seeing the picture, Do-hyun surmises that it was Ri-jin’s mother who rescued her from the fire all those years ago. Chief Ahn asks if he recognizes anyone in the picture, but a call comes in from Dr. Seok before Do-hyun can explain.



Dr. Seok tells Do-hyun about Ri-jin’s collapse. Although he didn’t tell the family, he guesses that Ri-jin was reacting to the stress of suddenly recalling a memory. “Are you two recovering your lost memories one by one?” he asks. Dr. Seok wonders if the two of them are tangled up in something dangerous.

Do-hyun only cares about Ri-jin and whether she’s okay. Dr. Seok assures him that she’s healthy, but the danger only really surfaces after she wakes up. She may experience “Repetition Compulsion,” which is a psychological phenomenon in which trauma victims reenact events from their past (there are different ways in which this can happen, but two of them happen to be sequential nightmares and hallucinations).



Ri-jin finally wakes up with Mom sitting by her bedside. On the verge of tears, Mom says that if things were going to be so hard for her, Ri-jin should have come to her instead of crying alone.

Seeming calmer now, Ri-jin reveals that she remembers that Mom saved her from the fire, and that her name used to be Do-hyun. But the knowledge only leaves her with more questions, specifically why she and Do-hyun had their names taken from them.

Ri-jin reassures Mom that she likes her name, and that she was always grateful her parents gave it to her and accepted her into the family. But she also liked Do-hyun’s name (not to mention the man she thought it belonged to). “What do I call him now?” she asks, beginning to cry.

Do-hyun throws up in his bathroom, tormented by the guilt brought on by his memories. He thinks back to when he first introduced himself to Ri-jin as Cha Do-hyun, only now those words carry a very different meaning.

A stress headache is triggered, and Do-hyun staggers to his study to find medicine. But in his medicine drawer he finds a message from Ri-jin, telling him to watch the video she left if he needs medicine.

Do-hyun puts the flash drive into his computer and calls up the video that Ri-jin made. She makes a hilarious mic-testing noise and addresses the camera: “Are you watching, Cha Do-hyun? Are you listening, Cha Do-hyun?”



In the video, Ri-jin scolds Do-hyun for relying on medicine to deal with his issues instead of overcoming everything with her, the way he promised. He said he would replace all his bad memories with good memories, which is one of the reasons Ri-jin wanted to ride the Snowflake Train with Do-hyun.

Ri-jin goes on to apologize for hesitating and denying her feelings. Now she will say it directly, and she asks Do-hyun not to be shocked at what she has to say: “I like you.”

Knowing what he does now, watching this video is the purest torture for Do-hyun. Tears stream down his face and he punches the desk repeatedly, unable to do anything for the woman he loves.



Ri-on finds Ri-jin in her room and gets mad at her for avoiding her family. Mom is cooking up a storm to comfort her and Dad’s heart is breaking for his beloved daughter, but Ri-jin insists on suffering alone.

Ri-on reminds her that he wants a sister who fights back, and says that if she won’t do that, she isn’t his sister. “Don’t be like that,” Ri-jin cries, holding him back. She says that with Ri-on by her side, she was never fearful as a child. The only thing she ever feared was him not being her brother.

After Ri-jin apologizes, Ri-on makes her promise to eat enough and tell the family when she’s having a hard time. She thanks him wholeheartedly for being her brother, and he leads her out of her room in search of food.

Ri-jin and Ri-on take their dog for a run along the river, racing each other and laughing for the first time in a while. Ri-jin tugs on Ri-on’s hood and hops on his back, and when the siblings are exhausted they lie down next to each other in an open field.

Without speaking, the two carry on a complete conversation. Ri-jin tells Ri-on how grateful she is that he was willing to share their parents’ love, which otherwise would have been his alone. Ri-on teases her for being so corny, but turns serious when he thanks her for loving him.

Alone in his apartment, Do-hyun picks himself back up after the emotional blow of Ri-jin’s video. He dresses in work clothes and heads outside, only to be intercepted by an important visitor rolling up in a fancy car.

Grandma Seo rolls down the window and tells Do-hyun to get in. He knows what she wants, however, and says that she’s awfully haughty for someone who needs his help. In return for his cooperation, she offers to tell him the whole truth about what happened on the day of the fire twenty-one years ago.

Do-hyun rides with Grandma to the hospital where Dad is still deep in his coma. She asks Do-hyun to promise that after learning the truth, he will return to Seungjin Group. Do-hyun merely promises to consider it, after he hears what Grandma has to say. She begins her story of the day of the fire, which started out as the happiest day of her son’s life.



Joon-pyo plays the gracious host, welcoming guests to Seungjin Group’s party. Among the guests are Ki-joon’s parents, looking slightly disgruntled, and Chae-yeon’s outspoken mother.

Grandma Seo goes into the kitchen to give last-minute instructions to the catering staff, which includes Ri-jin’s mother (not her biological one, who by this point already died in the car crash).

After Grandma leaves, little Do-hyun comes in and asks for more food. He shovels snacks into a plastic bag and takes what the cook gives him, saying he would prefer to carry it himself. After he leaves, Ri-jin’s mom talks to a gossipy coworker about the complicated Seungjin family tree, fishing for information about Ri-jin.



Do-hyun’s mother preps him for his introduction to society, since the world did not know he was living there until today. She reminds him to work hard and inherit Seungjin Group so that she can live openly as the lady of the house.

Joon-pyo addresses the assembled guests. He thanks them for being there and announces that he has a son who will follow him as Seungjin Group’s successor. The rumors start to fly immediately.

Ki-joon’s mother gossips with some other high-society ladies about this news, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the former chairman’s death. It’s pretty clear, after all, who benefited the most from the tragedy.

Little Do-hyun sneaks through the hallway to reach the basement, but he’s stopped by Ri-jin’s mom, who asks him where the basement is. Just then Dad enters the hallway, and Do-hyun ducks away to avoid notice. When Dad sees that Do-hyun isn’t in his room, he marches immediately to the door that leads to the basement… luckily, Ri-jin’s mother was watching from around a corner.

Do-hyun finds Ri-jin in the basement and apologizes for being late. He tells her to pack everything and run away with him. They’ll take the train, he says, and go far away. Ri-jin’s face lights up when she hears about the train, and they rush to the door. But when it opens, Do-hyun’s father stands there with a blood-chilling expression.



Do-hyun immediately starts to beg forgiveness, but Dad shoves him out of the basement and shuts the door. Do-hyun cries and pounds on the door in vain.

In the present, Grandma Seo tells Do-hyun how she left the party to search for Joon-pyo. But on the way, she saw someone setting the fire. And the person who set that fire… was none other than Do-hyun.

Grandma Seo yells that Do-hyun is responsible for her son being in a coma, while Do-hyun grabs the railing on the bed for support. She explains how she had no choice but to cover everything up, or else people would find out about her son’s weakness and, even worse, what happened in the basement.

Do-hyun leaves the hospital room, the present melding with his memories. He remembers pounding against the closed door, when Se-gi’s voice floats across his mind, offering to take on the burden that is too much for him. He looks down at a tin of “New Century” matches (Shin Se-gi means “New Century”). His tears stop, and his expression grows fixed and cold.

We see little Se-gi in his first appearance ever, dragging a canister of oil all the way down the steps to the basement room. He coats the floor with gasoline and tosses a match, watching the flames begin to roar. In voiceover, Se-gi says that he was the one to save the child. Collapsed in the hallway outside his father’s hospital room, Do-hyun’s fingers tap the floor in a way that spells trouble…

At the restaurant a little later, Ri-jin goes outside and finds Se-gi waiting for her. “I’m sorry I’m late,” he says, and holds out his hand.
