MINES OF PASSION EPISODE 88
Follow Citizen TV Telenovelas
Victoria approaches Joaquina’s cell calling her name softly. “Victoria, why are you here? Did Roberta send you?” Joaquina queries. No Marijo did is Victoria’s answer; she knows you are innocent. Then Victoria states Roberta Castro is a criminal. She asks if Roberta murdered Ignacio. No answer is given.
Clemente is being questioned by Sebastian and Danilo. Danilo implies that he could be in huge danger if Roberta finds out he has been talking.
Victoria tries her best but Joaquina isn’t ready to crack. She turns her back and Victoria leaves. Staring at her back, Marijo murmurs “Emilia”.
Leonardo confronts Roberta, demanding to know why Joaquina is in prison.
Clemente and Sebastian enter the Forensic investigation office. Clemente obviously works there as one of the other staff members approaches, calling him by name, asking who Sebastian is.
Leonardo and Roberta talk about Ignacio, Mauricio, all the usual subjects. Leonardo goads Roberta into a response.
Sebastian introduces himself as someone else as he frantically signals Danilo lurking in the hallway. Danilo, always resourceful, pulls a fire alarm and they are able to escape.
Leonardo has once again opened the door for Roberta to vent telling him she despises him. She blames him for thwarting her happiness, starting when he was a child. A single tear falls from Leonardo’s face as he hears this oft repeated hatred.
Adalberto and Fidel are at the bar. Gigi’s friend Pati is at a table waving coquettishly at Fidel.
Gigi’s team confronted her about the completely innocent and not at all compromising photos. Gigi is in tears when all of a sudden, Manuelito struts in, wearing a captivating smile, laying on the charm. The women are suitably impressed. They leave, as Gigi invites him to sit. Even Teresa is smiling behind her back. They have a conversation as Teresa hangs on every word. He kisses Gigi’s hand gallantly as he leaves.
Cayetana is still hugging Gael and kisses him as Marijo comes in. She seems disgusted and disheartened, saying she is going home. Cayetana makes it clear she isn’t going to Marijo’s because of Roberta. Marijo gets a call about the mine and leaves.
Victoria calls Sebastian to thank him. “I love you” he says, “I love you too” she answers to Sebas’ chagrin and disappointment. The impact of Victoria’s words seem to be weighing heavily on him. Clemente takes advantage of the call to start running away.
Leonardo visits Sara who asks where the children are. At Tiger’s Leonardo answers. She cries copious tears and when he sits on the bed, she reaches out and grabs his arm. He stares wordlessly and is saved by a call from Patricio.
Danilo zooms over to Tigre’s and Zaira warmly welcomes him. He shakes Nico and then Romina’s hands. He smiles delightedly when Romina tells him she remembers him.
Jenifer is finally in the hospital, Aleida by her side. Orlando arrives looking heartbroken and very angry.
Sebastian catches up with a terrified Clemente who is deathly afraid of Roberta. A car comes careening out of nowhere and hits Clemente. Sebastian screams, calling for an ambulance although it appears he is already deceased.
Orlando confronts Jennifer, asking if she thinks he is stupid. She cries how much she wanted to be a mother as Aleida tries gently to calm him down. Sadly, he actually calls Jenifer a liar. He refuses to listen and leaves as Jeniffer cries out after him. Aleida tries to comfort her as she is heartbroken about the loss of her child.
The Quintana sisters are having one of the worst days of their lives. We flash back to Sara as she tells Leonardo she loves him. During the course of the evening, she tries to get Leonardo to stay with her, evoking memories of the short time they were happy with each other. So far, her attempts seem to be futile.
Victoria is visited by Fidel. Am I interrupting? No, she says. He offers his “assistance” with Joaquina’s predicament. But there’s a catch. He wants her to no longer support Gigi’s campaign. She accepts and when Victoria puts out her hand, he kisses it. Several bottles of hand sanitizer later…
Leonardo brings Sara to an apartment where she mentions Emilia. He leans in to give her a perfunctory kiss and she presses in to make it linger a bit longer. After he leaves she keeps telling herself everything will be alright. Just then, Adalberto calls. He wants her to do something which she clearly doesn’t want to do. After, he manhandles Miriam, grabbing her face, acting lasciviously. As his back is turned, Sebastian calls Miriam and she runs out.
Leonardo arrives at Tiger’s as Danilo is leaving. Leonardo says something about his children and Danilo mutters “your children” under his breath. It is clear Danilo wants to claim Romina as his. This situation is a powder keg just waiting to be ignited.
A concerned Victoria leaves a voicemail for Sebastian asking where he is. Meanwhile, Sebastian is drowning his sorrows as Miriam comes in. Shockingly, he hugs her tightly and puts his head on her chest. He stares at her leaving no doubt he wants and needs her.
Leonardo and Tiger talk about Sara, Emilia, and Victoria.
Marijo confronts Roberta about Joaquina. Roberts sneers that Joaquina is in jail and is utterly pathetic.
Sebastian wakes up in bed with Miriam. He clearly berates himself for what he did; but as the expression goes, the damage has been done.
Leonardo tells the board of directors he wants to give Tiger a place at the table. Roberta seems incredulous and a vote is taken. Of course, it’s a tie. Marijo will need to cast the tiebreaking vote. Victoria puts her hand on Marijo’s shoulder and Roberta stares daggers. Marijo, clearly conflicted, says nothing. For the moment.
