Juan Q 8/15 - Unraveling? Juan's guard slips, CL's guard is up trying to give Mon the slip , Nid's is down, and Ana and Paula just plain need a guard

Marely asks Juan if he likes Paula. He just looks at her and she says what is that a hard question? He picks up her hand and start wiping her fingers with the napkin nervously as he asks her how she could think such a thing, you are crazy how could I be interested in her, I worry about what she thinks of me because she’s my boss, that’s all. Marely is not convinced, she tells him he has nothing to worry about because Paula is very happy with his work, she asks him if he really doesn’t think about her in another sense. He says Paula has everything that a man could want and that her qualities aren’t easy to find in a woman, but, uh, no, she doesn’t interest me that way. [Wink, wink]

Marely seems bummed about the way he described her and says, well that’s good to hear. Now the tables seem to turn and he wonders why she’s happy about that. She brushes him off now and says that it’s simply because it’s good not to be in love with someone who is out of your reach and that these situations always end badly. Now, he is not convinced and he asks her if she knows this because it happened to her once, or how can she be so sure? She brushes him off again and says, no, it’s just common sense. He tells himself happily that she’s a little jealous.

CL tells Fer that even though Ana is going to ask him to take her to Moni’s house, don’t for anything in the world take her there, do we understand each other????? Fer says of course.

Kike shows up at Farell again and ribs Juan about hanging out with Marely. Juan admits his heart belongs to someone else. Kike, all excited that Juan is coming home with him, tells him they will watch a karate movie. Juan apologizes and says he can’t because he’s found another place to stay. Kike is visibly hurt.

Marely comes upstairs to find her Ma there set to give out invitations to Cl and to Paula. Marely is pleased she’s inviting the Davilas and Mama is happy she’s supporting her decision because Yadi and Ali are being pills. They muse about being sad that Juan is gone, but Nid warns maybe she hasn’t had the last word.

Kike tells Juan he had everything ready and wonders if he didn’t really want to stay with him why he didn’t just tell him that. Juan says that’s not it, it’s that he wasn’t expecting what came his way, that he is going to live with his boss’s mom!

Kike forgives him and hopes that they are still going to hang out he’s like a brother. Juan says of course. Just then Paula shows up in the car and Juan helps her out. Kike remarks oh, that is your boss, now I understand. Is she with CL? This of course hits Juan’s raw nerve. Kike says he knows how these things work and Juan all offended tells him she’s not like other women, and Kike busts him remarking that he’s acting as if she were his girlfriend!

Moni is at her house discussing with Chelo that she should rest and she will do so after her interview with Ana, to which Chelo asks if she shouldn’t already be here. Moni says, yes, you’re right. We then flash to Fer driving Ana in circles.

Nid is talking with CL about the wedding and that it’s to Alirio. CL remarks that’s soon as asks if she’s pregnant. She jokes him off, but asks him to do her a favor and show up with his wife. He says of course, who else. She says maybe one of your little adventures, but no you better come with your wife. Marriage is serious.

We flash back to Ana going in more circles and sitting in traffic and Moni thinking it’s very weird that she hasn’t arrived and that she better have a good excuse. Chelo thinks maybe Moni is too trusting, then she wonders if something might have happened. Fer apologizes that he’s messing Ana up he thought he was saving them time. She says it’s not your fault don't worry, she asks for a cell, and he doesn’t have conveniently.

Just then CL calls his honey to make sure the evil deed has been carried through but fakes that he thinks Ana is very responsible and that he didn’t think she’d do something like this, and maybe she’ll come later because of the traffic. CL apologizes again for being a tonto during his last explosion at her. She wonders if maybe he can come home early, of course he has meetings. He hangs up and continues drinking his booze in the middle of the day at work. Guess it’s good to be the boss. :)

Nid enters Paula’s office and present her with an invitation for her wedding. Paula is impactado. Nid tells her she comes in peace and oh, by the way here is the invitation for you too because you have been so wonderful with Marely and I know how to show appreciation, besides you are half sisters. Paula says she’ll try to do what she can to be there then. I like these folks much better at peace than pulling out each other’s hair.


Nid then spreads her cheer to invite Juan. He thanks her but he’s not sure if he should go. She says he should leave the past as past. She also invites him to come visit them sometime without calling or asking permision. Their house is still his house. He’s happy to hear this.

She says goodbye, then one more thing, wouldn’t you like to dance nude at my bachelorette party? Juan is not terribly impactado, but he does decline. Bummer. Then one last thing. She reminds him though not to come with that naco Fer because Yadi doesn’t want anything to do with him. He agrees, and she throws some more chomis at him.

Ivonne goes in to see Pastor who is still wallowing in his misery with his head stuck to his desk.

Nidia calls Moni to invite her personally because even though she gave CL the invitation, well men can't be trusted to remember those things. Moni appreciates it, but wonders if she didn't just become a widow. Nidia says well, this is what my dead husband would have wanted. She might actually be right about that...

Yadi wonders if she's going to call everyone's wives to invite them personally. Nidia says no, she doesn't care about the rest, but with CL she doesn't want any surprises, like him showing up with some hussy. Something tells me she is going to get one anyway.

Cl is kissy facing with Paula and he wants to go meet up with her at the apt. She says she can't because she wants to accompany Juan to her Mom's. Cl wants to know what's up with that? He thinks maybe she's involving herself too much in his life. She thinks maybe he's jealous. He says no. She sees the invitation to Nid's wedding and says oh so you are invited too! He says yes, she says me too, so we'll go together right? CL is impactado of course.

He tries to weasel out of it, and rightly Paula gets PO'd. He is having a hard time explaining it. She yells at him that they always seem to be going around in hiding. Duh, Paula, duh.

Yadi surmises so then, CL is putting the horns on his wife (cheating on her) Nid says of course, and he might even be thinking about bringing the other. Yad doesn't care especially if the Davilas are going to be there too. Nid wants her to understand it's her wedding and she should respect her wishes. Yadi gets an idea about CL for herself. Nid admonishes her harshly that he's married and she's but a girl.

Back with Paula, CL is trying to dig faster but the dirt keeps falling back on him. He can't beat her so he'll join her. He says they'll go together to the wedding, then.

Pastor recalls his conversation with Juan about finding him an hombre. His Mom tells him to knock it off already, he shouldn't be going around after boys anyway, he's too old. he doesn't want to talk anymore and wants her to leave him alone.

Juan moves in to Casa Davila with his "Juan" box. Ana tells them about her mishap with Fer. They welcome Juan and tell him he gets to sleep in Paula's room. He is in a dream and imagines the love letters she must have written in here, and that she slept in this bed etc.

Paula is still skeptical about Nid's invitation, though she does have feelings that maybe this time she was sincere. Paula says ok, so we'll go to this show then, and guess who is coming with us. CL. Ana is impactado. She tells Paula to push it with him then because that's the only way she'll get what she wants.

Alirio says he's not coming in if Nid invited Juan. She says do what you want I invited him. They discuss this and she says we'll get married yes, but we are not abandoning our former friends etc. essentially, you'll get it the way I give it to you, or you won't get it at all.

Juan and Ana are talking, she tells him about Fer's round abouts. She asks if he knows anything about maybe fixing her car. He tries to see what he can do, and we know trouble is on the way.

Paula returns to her dark apartment, he's heerrrre! CL surprises her in a very feminine apron with dinner. She's mad at him and wants to know how he got in. Duh, it's his, he had keys you dingbat. She yells at him a while about this that he shouldn't have just showed up there, he rents it to her so he has no right blah, blah. He gets offended that she doesn't trust him, then she backs down and now they are kissy face again. Blech. He serves her dinner.

Juan is messing with the car, and he appears to have shocked himself.

Paula compliments the chef. He asks her about her Mom's appt. and we get a rehash but Paula warns him not to get mad. He acts as if he is because he feels bad about what his chauffer did to her mom. She tells him, oh don't worry about my Mom because tomorrow morning she's going to go over and apologize to the lady who offered her work. Of course our CL is impactado otra vez. How long is he going to keep this floating!!!!

Peru, estamos rezando para todos ustedes....

Great Recap as always. If CL thinks that so far it has been hard managing his two women, wait ‘till Nidia’s wedding. That is going to be fun to watch. :)

Hey, Kris, thanks for the terrific recap—as always!

“He hangs up and continues drinking his booze in the middle of the day at work. Guess it’s good to be the boss. :) “ I’m the boss, and I wouldn’t be caught dead drinking like he does in the middle of the work day. When I saw this scene, I just wanted to shake the man.

“Nid enters Paula’s office and present her with an invitation for her wedding.” I’m with Paula; I wonder what Nidia is up to. Sometimes I like the woman, but usually I think she’s scheming. I think inviting them to her wedding, etc., etc., is all a ploy so they won’t investigate where the inheritance went. I’d like to be wrong, though.

“She also invites him to come visit them sometime without calling or asking permision.” Is it just me? Is Nidia’s quasi-seduction behavior with Juan annoying or what? I see her hitting up on Juan, who could be her son, and it makes me nervous. She’s a year older than me or two. It’s one thing to admire from afar……

“she throws some more chomis at him.” What’s a chomi? I heard her say this several times and wondered. Can anyone tell us?

“Nidia says well, this is what my dead husband would have wanted. She might actually be right about that...” LOL! Yes, indeed!

“Cl is kissy facing with Paula and he wants to go meet up with her at the apt” I want to slap this sleazeball every time he talks to Paula now. And I want to slap Paula for believing him.

CL is getting busted sooner or later. I’m hoping for sooner.

Dear Jeanne, Yes, the "chomi, chomi, chomi" refrain is interesting. Not sure there would ever be a dictionary entry for it, but it sure sounds like "you delicious hunk of manflesh, I'd take you home in my hip pocket right now if I had the chance".....or, er, something like that.

Judy B.
 

Judy B. -- LOL! Yep, surely something like that!

Just once, I'd like to see a novela where a smart, attractive woman doesn't lose her brains and dignity pining after some egomaniacal married man.

Are women really this stupid, or are we just portrayed as such?

I understand that it's all in fun, but it's annoying!

Also, I'm sick of seeing everyone's cleavage! Wouldn't it be nice if characters who are suppposed to be professionals dressed in such a manner? Isn't it possible to be sexy without letting them hang out?

Sorry for the rant! I really do love this show :)
 

Linda, I have to agree. The women in many of these shows are beautiful, intelligent and unbelievably dumb. They make me tired. The men are sleazy; the nice ones like Kike don't get a second look.

Jeanne
