"May have been from an old People Magazine, [...] Apparently the first couple of times the spanking was tried for Shooting, it did not look authentic so Joan, being a trooper, said go for it, make it look real. Pernell was reluctant so Joan hatched a plan to loosen him up. She really hit him in the gut to make the spanking look authentic. Apparently it so annoyed & suprised him that he blew his line and actually smacked her hard 5 or 6 times. Listen to the last 2 smacks - one whimpy and one good one! It worked a little too well, she said she felt it for days!"

Re: Episode 185 - WOMAN OF FIRE
. Margarita's connections coming to Adam on their knees and Adam saying "Oh, get up!".
. Adam acting so solicitous of Margarita over breakfast while he does everything he can to upset her.
. Adam pushing Margarita, and later Don Luis into the water...then getting pushed in himself!
