Juan Q 7/25 - The Wednesday Juan curse strikes again, not those Chinese Chickens
Paula tells her Mom That the person calling has to be that stupid girl Ivonne. She’s in love with him and her territory is threatened so she’s trying to make my life miserable. Mama wantsto know what she means by invading territory. Paula says she didn’t say that. Mom knows what she heard and asks her…Are you involved with CL? Paula answers more or less.
GAYtan gives up his car to the thugs begging them not to do anything.
Paula fesses up to Mom she says they had something to do in Taxco, only a few kisses. She’s not convincing. Mama pushes it begging her to look in her eyes and tell her if she slept with him. Paula very obviously avoids her eyes. They continue discussing this.
Pau says he will divorce. Mama brings up her Papa that he said the same thing and accuses her of repeating history. Paula says it’s not the same because she gave him conditions for them to be together. Paula says she’s in love, and her love isn’t ok, but Ana’s was? She says that’s not fair. Mama is upset. She kicks Paula out.
Marely tells Juan she can’t accept the work. He is wondering what happened. She says she thought about it and it’s not what she really wants. He blames Pastor, and she says sort of, but not completely. She says say what you what but I can’t accept it. He continues, fine, you are a big girl even though you don’t look like it. You could do so well and move up in that company and it’s a good job but it’s your life so if you want to throw it away, fine go ahead. He says to himself that he couldn’t imagine at that moment that Marely had the most noble of intentions by refusing that work.
Yadi over hears Mar and Juan’s conversation and tells Nid. She says it was Juan that Mar was telling and that he was the one who brought Mar to Paula. Nidia is not sure that he is a traitor though.
We have a tear fest between Ana and Paula, but Ana doesn’t budge and Paula walks out in her spiffy white coat.
Fer shows up outside at Casa Cachon. They are eating dinner. Nid wants to know why Juan is upset. He says office stuff. Yadi asks if he’s seen Fer today he says he has but why? She says she hasn’t heard from him yet.
Outside Perfan shows up and sees Fer and takes his money for a taxi and says that he saved his life. Perfan invites Fer in to eat dinner, that he is very hungry.
CL calls Ana to talk to Paula, when his wife comes around the corner he stalls and then asks for Pastor Gaitan. Ana tells him wrong number and he hangs up. She notes the name and thinks that’s weird that he asked for that name as if she recognizes it.
Cl and Moni discuss what he was looking for Gaitan for. They discuss something about work and he ends up saying he’ll dine with his beautiful wife.
At dinner Nidia asks Fer if he’s eaten, he says no but he’s not hungry. Nidia says with his noodle thin body, he needs to eat and she tells Yadi to serve him a plate. She then tells Perfan that she needs to talk to him in the study immediately. He wants to eat, but she tells him the food won’t run out so come now.
Juan yells at Fer that he’s going to have to tell Yadi the truth. She comes out just then and wants to know what truth. Juan tells her something to do with work and he leaves the table.
Nid rehashes the Mare/Paula encounter and again Perafan tries to convince her to leave them alone. Nid says we still have a card to play, we won’t get anything from Ana but maybe from the daughter. He says no they are the same and we are going to end up thrown out on our asses and without a lifevest! Nid tells him he has to go talk to the daughter or else he’ll be without a bride before the wedding
Fer and Yadi and Chinese chickens – Ok this conversation cracked me up. Fer tells her that the truth is that he is having big problems at work and that he is almost in bankruptcy. She wants to know why and he says the Chinese are flooding the market and doing it with low prices stealing business away from him. She wonders about that because she didn’t think that the Chinese dealt in the meat and food that he sells and she is trying to figure out how they would under cut him. He says for sure they deal in chickens, and they are importing them cheaper. He asks her if she would stay with him if he were in ruin and a simple employee. She makes a face and says that he will never be a simple employee and that he will find something else to do. In other words she didn’t answer the question he asked….
Moni asks Cl what she could do at Farell. She thinks she could work in the Commercial Area. She mentions she could work with certain people and sort of recalls that a young lady Paula works there and he reminds her of the name.
CL tells Moni he thinks very highly of Paula and Gaytan recommended her. He then tells her guess who she is the daughter of, Samuel Cachon and his former secretary and that she was illegitimate. Moni asks why there always has to be this kind of same story behind men. CL says ask me there’s no story, I am a white dove (innocent)! She says well, that’s a good thing, huh. He rolls his eyes as he takes a sip of his drink.
Perfan gets back and dinner is gone. Nid thinks it’s good because she won’t ruin her diet then.
Juan and Fer are walking outside. Fer says he’s screwing up things with the woman of his dreams. Juan says if it weren’t for him, he would never have met her. He has some kind of plan with respect to Yadi for Fer, and he said that it might take care of things with Marely too if he plans it correctly. Fer ends up thanking him for presenting him to the woman of his dreams.
Marely greets Juan. She asks him if he or Fer finally told Yadi the truth. He’s says no not really. She’s on her way to Farell to talk to Gaytan and he says he’ll take her. He shows up to Ana’s house to pick her up and goes in because he’s been waiting for her a little longer than normal, but Ana tells him she’s not there.
Perfan shows up at Farell and sees Paula. He says he wants to discuss the offer that they made her. He thinks she should take it as soon as possible. She tells him she doesn’t care what they think and that they are wasting their time. Paula wants to know why there is so much interest in them leaving the country? She wants to know what they are hiding.
Juan makes Ana something like a tea and says that she’ll feel better. She’s embarrassed, but he says don’t worry tell me what’s wrong. She tells him everything that happened except that she can’t tell him why she told Paula to leave because it’s private and between women. He suggests calling the office. He says that they will find out how the iguana chews. He promises to bring Paula back to the house, and says he has his crafts and he can get her to come back despite her pride.
Perfan is still discussing this with Paula. She says she’s not leaving the country because of Nidia’s whim. He says even though it’s a whim he is here to remind her that Nidia is ready to pay her a high price for it. Pau says that she thinks she is going to start her own investigation into all of this to find out what's really behind the great interest in them being gone. He tries to convince her that's not necessary. She gets angry and she kicks him out.
Marely gets off the elevator and sees him as he's leaving and accuses him of bugging Paula again.
Marely goes in to see Paula. She tells her she can’t accept the job. Paula wants to know why. She tells her that it’s because it’s not what she wants to do. Paula doesn’t believe her, asks her if it has to do with Pastor, and then her. She says no, she just thought about it. Paula pushes her and she finally admits that she made a deal with her Mom that she wouldn’t take it in exchange for her leaving them alone about the house.
CL and Moni talk in the car and she wonders again if something is wrong with him. He of course denies it.
Paula tells her to take the job she needs it and that she shouldn’t put herself in the middle of a problem that doesn’t involve her and that Paula can defend herself against Nid, she’s defended against worse. Then we see that Marely decides to stay and Paula has given her work telling her that everyone’s first day seems hard and that she can have the freedom to decide how she needs to do things and she can resolve things on her own if she wants and can save certain things for Paula to deal with as she sees fit.
Paula shoves Ivonne in the elevator and berates her for meddling telling her that she knows she is calling her mom. Of course Ivonne denies it. Paula roughs her up quite a bit and tells her she better cut it out or she is going to be in big trouble.
Paula comes down to the parking garage and says hello to Juan and he asks her where they are off to. She says his house. He looks at her impactado!
Labels: Juan
Yadi acts like a bimbo but she's actually pretty shrewd. Tuesday she got Marely to fess up about working with Paula and yesterday she was skeptical about the Chinese undercutting Fer's meat biz. (At one point he said Chinese chickens are bigger than turkeys, ha!)
Moni should trust her instincts...her husband's a rat!
I was surprised that Ana told Paula to leave.
Paula drives me nuts. On one hand she's a fiera when it comes to Nidia, Perafan and Ivonne (Hooray Paula for pushing her into and out of the elevator!!), but she's a complete boob when it comes to CL. Must be that smart woman bad man syndrome.
I cannot wait to see what happens when Paula goes to Juan's house!
Thanks K, outstanding recap!
I chuckled when Ana looked at Juan’s “finding out how the iguana chews” and asking him, “huh?” At least we’re not the only ones who are dumbfounded by Juan’s choices of phrasing.
Hooray for Paula, showing some real grit with Perafán and Ivonne! Good for her for figuring out something is rotten in Cachonville and putting him on notice, and I cheered when she shoved Ivonne in the elevator. It looked like she even tripped Ivonne as she pushed her out, and then made a comment about how clumsy Ivonne was, but it could be my imagination. And, good for Marely for figuring out that he was there to bug Paula and calling him on it! Marely looked very excited about her new work, and they look like they’ll be a good team.
CL isn’t good for anyone. He’s bad to his wife, and to his two amantes. There’s a special place in h*** for mujeriegos like him, I think.
You think Juan might be surprised when he sees Paula go after Nidia? Exciting stuff coming!
