Amar August 10 - Azul and Diego have the same conversation that they have every day

During the opening credits, I see Andres giving a kiss to Leonarda, but it wasn’t particularly romantic, that still doesn’t answer the question of what is up with those two.

Azul fights with Arnaldo a little bit after he said she doesn’t know anything about love, that he won’t explain his problem. She does the same thing to him, how does he like that? They calm down and Arnaldo confesses that the person who broke his heart in Brazil was a MAN. The secret is out. To his own sister at least. Azul is impactado.

Andres and Leonarda hope that things won’t change in the house when Azul moves in. She hopes that Azul won’t find a way to fire them. Andres says they have a lot of knowledge of Mauricio, so they are irreplaceable.

Arnaldo says he didn’t tell Azul before because he was afraid. She says she loves him just as much now, however he is. He begs forgiveness for not telling her before. She says she only cares if he is happy, nothing else. Arnaldo cries. A LOT.

Papa can’t find his cell phone charger. Paco offers to go get his, Papa says nah never mind. Lidia enters the room and Paco tells the parents that he and Lidia are going to get married. Needless to say, the parents are impactados. Manuel looks like he wants to throw up, Paco says “See how happy your father looks?” Ha.

Azul tells Emilia that she doesn’t know what to do about Diego, ever since he appeared her life has been worse, she is anxious and can’t sleep. She then admits to having fear over the possibilities with Diego.

Paco and Diego talk at the pool hall, Diego says he has to see Azul again, then runs off to work.

Lidia is at work with Piero, she starts getting flirty with him and he tries to pretend like he doesn’t want anything to do with her, he says he has a lot of work and steps away.

Morris finds Diego at the Mens Wearhouse. Diego pawns him off on his grandpa, Morris says he wants to buy a suit. Morris keeps wanting Diego’s help, Diego keeps trying to push him off on Abuelo. Finally Morris asks Diego if something is wrong, ah it’s your girlfriend, right? He really tries to buddy up with him. Morris says that if some girl left him, he has to go look for her and reclaim her!

Azul says her parents were like her and Diego, they were so loving together but also kept fighting and splitting up. Her phone rings, it’s Diego. She just hangs up without saying anything. Emilia says it was him right? Azul says she’s afraid.

Some guy is yelling at Morris, demanding results. He has been here 10 days and has seen nothing yet. Morris says Toscano is on it, just wait. The guy flips out and starts screaming that he wants to hear something now, he leaves to go wait at the hotel for answers. Mauricio says back at him (after he leaves) “who do you think you are? You can’t talk to me that way!” This reminds me of people who act tough after whoever is bothering them leaves – “where is he? Is he gone? Good cause I was going to kick his ass!”

Diego talks to Gisela at the pool hall. He wants a job for Morticia. Gisela doesn’t need anyone, even though she’d like to help. Diego says she can clean, wait tables, whatever. Gisela tells him how can she say no when he smiles like that? She says if the girl is stupid though, she’s out.

Manuel and Clemencia talk while walking through their laundry lines out back of the house. Mama says if Lidia made that decision, they should honor it. Manuel says Paco is a nobody and they shouldn’t allow it. He thinks maybe Lidia is pregnant, Clemencia says take that back!

Morticia is already at the pool hall meeting Gisela. She’s going to start out bussing tables. She asks if Morticia is on medication, her father used to have trouble taking medicine and concentrating. Morticia swears that she’ll do a good job.

Morris tells Andres that he went to see Diego, he thinks that he would be a good partner. Andres doesn’t look like he agrees, not sure why. Ah, he’s jealous. Morris tries to placate him. What a baby. Waa you think this other guy is nice waaaa. Azul comes in and Andres excuses himself. Azul is sad and wants a hug from Morris.

Gloria says sorry, Morticia says quit saying that all the time! They then talk about her new job being a busgirl at the pool hall. Morticia gets all morbid and tells her mother that she wishes she (Gloria) understood how much she wants to be doing things like normal people. She’s so melodramatic. Turns out Gloria wasn’t paying attention, “oh uh sorry, what were you saying?”

GSD tries to figure out what is bothering Azul. He thinks she isn’t sure about marrying Morris. Azul doesn’t answer. He asks if she loves him, she says of course, that’s not the problem. She thinks he is just worried about losing his new lab with his new toys. They argue and he tells her that when she can’t handle something she just cries. She says she just wants to help him and help Mauricio.

Morris has coffee with Andres and Leonarda. Morris says Azul is the perfect woman for him and they will all (these three) be together. She and Andres share some weird look across the table. I wish I could figure out what is the deal here, it’s bugging me.

Abuelo comes home to his buddy’s house. He brought tamales. They have quite a conversation about it. Just then some guy shows up, it’s the buddy’s son! Son wants a hug, buddy says he has to wash his hands, son says shut up and give me a hug! Buddy hugs him, then points to Abuelo and says “you remember your godfather?” Ok so we’re still keeping with the theme that every character on the show is related to or knows three other characters on the show, whether they currently interact or not. I’m sure at some point everyone will all go to the same hospital and the same church, etc. Abuelo hasn’t seen him since he was 10 years old, now he’s so big! He’s like 30, I guess they didn’t stay in touch very well. Turns out that son works for a famous designer named Julio Corso in Los Angeles. We don’t find out what Son’s name is.

Piero’s wife is at the office, she’s waiting for him to take her somewhere. Wife asks Lidai how things are with her boyfriend, she says they are getting married! Piero is impactado, but covers well. Wife leaves to wait in the car. Piero says now she an he will be in the same situation. Now suddenly he isn’t too busy for fooling around, they talk about her wedding while kissing. WTF.

Morris calls the Men’s Wearhouse, he talks to Perla and asks for Diego to get a status of his suits. Perla gets Diego on the phone. Morris wants to come to the store and have some of Diego’s time, Diego says sure. Morris says he feels like Diego doesn’t want to help him, Diego says no no not at all, he’ll make sure he’s free when Morris arrives.

Morris can travel through space in an instant, suddenly he is at the store. They look at fabric. Morris says it looks like Diego didn’t resolve things with his woman. Diego says no, and he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Azul comes home to her wife Ceci, who complains that she looked everywhere and can’t find a job, and the girl who replaced her at her old job hasn’t quit. Azul obviously couldn’t care less, she flops down on the couch. She’s playing with Diego’s cross necklace, which he left with her when she told him to leave. She tells Ceci to return it to Diego, Ceci tells her no way, she’s tired of running Azul’s errands, Azul needs to return it herself. Ceci wants Azul to confront the situation herself. Azul sniffs the necklace, can you really smell someone’s cologne on a necklace?

Diego again pawns Morris off on his abuelo, then leaves to take a phone call. It’s Azul. She says she has his cross and she’s sure it’s important to him, he says yes it’s important, that’s why he gave it to her. She says she should probably return it, he says they’ll have to talk later, he’s busy. Her cell phone rings, it’s Morris, calling from two feet away from where Diego was on the phone. She asks who he is with, he says he’s with a friend that she’ll meet soon! Morris gives Abuelo his suit order.

Piero is on the phone and Lidia enters. She says she accepts his offer of money for her honeymoon (what?) and he asks where they want to go. She wants to go to Cancun. He pulls her onto his lap, she leaves to go look at hotels.

Azul’s cell rings, it’s Diego. He says he gave her the cross because it’s special, like her, she doesn’t need to return it. He gets off the phone to find out that Abuelo was listening in. Diego says he’s sad, his heart is broken, etc. We know this story well by now.

GSD dines with Ines, who goes on about how great Mauricio is. GSD says he’s not so perfect. Ines thinks he’s jealous. GSD says Morris is treating his relationship with Azul like it’s part of his business. I guess it takes a jealous papa to see the truth, eh? He does a horrible job with his own relationship though, I must say.

For some reason Piero is with Lidia when she comes home and starts putting the moves on her, AGAIN Abuelo catches them in the act. This time he doesn’t hide, she runs over to him acting innocent. Uh sorry chickie you have been busted. Abuelo wants to know who this guy is, she says her boss. Ah, Abuelo says, now he sees how she got that promotion so easily. Piero tries to say that she is very capable and she has worked there for a long time an earned it… Abuelo says he knows how she ‘earned’ it. They are about to fight when Lidia breaks it up. Piero leaves. Lidia actually has the nerve to tell Abuelo that he’s out of line, Abuelo tells her off. Lidia just goes to her room.

Azul tells Diego again that she wants to return the cross. He gives her directions to the pool hall. She says ok, she’ll cal him before he comes. She gets off the phone and looks at Ceci and Arnaldo, they both say “no way.” She’s on her own this time. She tries to act indignant, they don’t let her off the hook. She’s on her own. She acts all pissy, finally Cecilia agrees to go with her.

Lidia mopes on her bed, Clemencia comes in to see if she wants dinner. Lidia says she isn’t hungry. Clemencia says Abuelo told her that they talked, Lidia says everyone thinks she’s just in the way. She was caught making out with her boss, where does she come up with this other stuff? Clemencia says no, she isn’t just a bother, but wants to know what’s up with her and her boss. Lidia says Piero is so great, but he’s married. Then she wants to know if it’s a good idea to marry Paco. Mama asks if she is in love, Lidia says she doesn’t think so, so Clemencia says not to do it. Lidia whines then where will she find a man for herself? Mama wisely says that isn’t a good reason to marry the first fool who comes along. Finally Clemencia says she shouldn’t marry Paco. Now Lidai doesn’t know how to tell Paco, who just happens to knock on the door right at that moment. Paco is very happy, but Lidia says she needs to tell him something.

Ceci and Azul arrive at the pool hall, Ceci likes the place. Azul and Diego see each other across the room, she walks over to him. They both look sad. He waves to Ceci across the room. Diego offers Azul a drink, she says she didn’t come to talk, just to return his necklace. She puts it in his hand, they let the touch linger. Azul says she hopes it’s the last time they see each other. Diego says fine, but it injures his soul. He wants her to keep the necklace, to know that she has a little part of him. She says that’s why she won’t keep it. He wants her to admit that she feels something for him, she says she has to leave, he says yes but she doesn’t seem to want to go. He says she is dying to be with him, like he feels for her. He knows that in her heart he is the one she loves. I’m not sure how he knows that, I guess he’s psychic. I’ll say one thing – Diego does not lack confidence.

Monday – We are lead to believe that Azul will make a big decision about who she wants to be with, but there’s no way. When that happens the show will be over.

..........................................................................................................Thanks, Ferro~~~Wow! you can cut the irony with a knife, si ???? Wait until Morris finds out that his brand new BFF has the hots for his girlfriend.Azul and Diego =Cristobal and Paulina falling in love so quickly and making heart shapes with their hands as they frolic around Italy. The folks in this telenovela really play fast and loose. Everyone is falling into bed except the leads. They are pining for each other. Ceci and Azul do seem like an old married couple. Ceci, you crazy kid, you...what are we going to do with you ...que the hell ? As for Leonarda , I think she is the mother of Andres and Morris. What else could it be ? Do you think that Arnaldo is going to be competition for Diego's affections? Where is Arnaldo's storyline headed ?
 

Thanks for the recap Ferro. Loved your comments regarding these crazy characters. "Every character on the show is related to or knows three other characters on the show, whether they currently interact or not." I really do think Azul and Diego need to interact a bit more before they are separated for the duration.

So do Lidia's parent's know she's having an affair with her boss?

The Abuelo knows something is up, and now the Mother seems to be clued in on it a bit, but she seems more interested in making sure Lidia doesn't marry Paco. I would have expected her to blow her top. If Manuel finds out, I expect him to find Piero with a bat.
 

Welcome to Lida's room the place where problems are solved! You know I enjoyed this show but it seems to be picking up the bordness! I was lucky to finish the script i forced myself to read it cause i missed being here! If i ever get time to catch up I'll see how good this show is.
 

Finally got to see this tonight. I was totally confused with the previous night's discussion because my Tivo cut off BEFORE Arnaldo made his big revelation. Loved your recap as always, Chris. An old married couple! LOL! Arnaldo, Ceci and Azul make a pretty good threesome too.

I wonder if Abuelo's compadre's son is gay too. He works for a designer...? maybe we can match him up with Arnaldo.
 

Welcome back, Ferro -- for some reason I thought you would still be on vacation! I couldn't wait for Duelo to be over and now I'm kind of missing it.

I wish I had time to watch this show. I'll try to follow it a bit in the recaps. (There doesn't seem to be anything particularly silly about it yet, aside from the name Azul.)
