Amar October 12 - The yogurt mystery is solved.

Diego and Chuch visit Julio, who doesn’t seem to remember offering them jobs before. They talk to him and he agrees to hire them. Gaspar has a fit of nervous coughing as he coordinates the whole meeting, finishing off with a real rat-tooth grin. Gaspar is getting gayer by the second, he started the show acting quite normally, now he is about 90% of the way towards being the fabulous Granillo from Duelo.

Burgay leaves Eva’s room and is accosted by GSD. He blames Burgay for infecting Azul, Eva comes out and tells GSD that it was Mauricio, not Burgay. She and GSD go inside to talk some more.

Azul brings Mo to his new house, Mo is dressed up in a jogging suit like he was just out for a run. Five minutes ago, he was stumbling around the hospital screaming “I want to liiiiive” now he’s out jogging and acting like nothing is wrong. Katy shows him his new bedroom and then shows him a photo, Mo suddenly announces that he can’t see. That’s how I feel whenever we see Andres kissing Leo.

Andres and Ceci kissy face goodbye as he drop her at Julio’s place. Diego is still there he launches into a tirade about how Andres is a killer. Ceci says she has forgiven him and for Diego to not mention it again, because she and Andres are couple now. Diego can’t believe it. They are about to rumble but Julio shows up, Chucho rushes Diego off.

Mo rubs his face and sits down, Katy says “what’s wrong, you can’t see?” Duh. That’s what he said. He lies to her and pretends he can see, so she doesn’t freak out. He obviously can’t see anything. They talk about him marrying Azul, Azul waits until Katy leaves to start freaking out for real. He begs her for help.

Diego moans and groans to Chucho on the street about Andres, Chucho says forget about it. It turns into a conversation about Azul, with the predictable crap, Diego says she loves him but prefers the comfort of Mo’s money. Yawn. We’ve been through this. He says he loves Azul but won’t forget her.

Eva says again that it was Mo that infected Azul. She explains that it was to get GSD back to work. GSD also says he checked Leo’s blood and she isn’t infected. Eva congratulates him for doing his job so well. She tells him that she can fix what’s wrong with Leo so he can get back to work on the cure. He is irritated but seems to agree.

Leo rags on Andres about Ceci. She says he just wants her to die so he can be with Ceci. He tells her that he told Ceci about killing his uncle and everything is fine. Leo says fine, but how would she feel about the other people he killed? He looks very uncomfortable. He pretends that he told Ceci about that already.

GSD doesn’t like Eva deciding who lives and dies, but he has no choice but to try and save Azul. He asks that after that, they be left in peace. Outside, he asks Diego how he can be in this dirty world. Diego says they are both in it. He tells Diego that he thought he was a good kid, but now he’s glad that Azul isn’t with him. Ivan tells Diego to wait, Eva wants to talk to him.

Eva tells Ivan that GSD figured out that Leo isn’t infected. She says to stop poisoning the yogurt. She is mad that Ivan’s operation held up GSD’s investigations.

Lidia and Manuel come back home and stomp into the house. Clemencia wants to know what’s up, they tell her about Piero going back with his sort of wife after getting out of jail. Lidia is upset that Piero left her for money. She says she’ll never forgive him. Manuel says well at least he’s free now, you can make up with him later. The women are appalled, they say of course not. I agree. Manuel is such an idiot. Lidia swears vengeance and storms off. Manuel yells at his wife for provoking Lidia, Clemencia says that as her parents they can’t allow Piero to humiliate her that way.

Piero and his sort of previous wife are back at their house. She tells him that she sprung him from jail first to take him away from Lidia, second is for the daughter. He needs to be her father.

Diego starts ranting, Eva tells him to knock it off. He wants her to defend her dirty world. He wants to know how Mo got sick, she says it is because he was experimenting with some medicines. What a lame excuse.

Leo and Andres are visiting Mo, they discuss his blindness. Leo whimpers, Mo tells her to leave. Andres says he got all the microphones out of this house. Mo says he only wants Eva to hear what he wants her to hear.

Manuel goes to Lidia’s room, she tells him to leave, “you cheating men are all alike.” Manuel tries to justify his cheating or something ridiculous like that. She says she has the money from selling his car and will sell everything else.

Sort of wife thanks the lawyer on the phone for his help. She tells him that she loves Piero still. The lawyer says Piero needs to be married to a Mexican to stay legally. Sort of wife is impactada that Lidia is the key to Piero not getting deported.

GSD, who was previously so upset about all the time he lost in working on the cure because of Leo, is now smoking and wasting time talking to Azul. What a hypocrite. I complained long and loud last week about how much time he wastes, then he goes and yells at Eva for wasting his time. Whatever. They discuss Mo’s blindness. She begs him to find the cure. He agrees that the sickness is horrible. He asks her to go rest. She says she can’t, she promised to stay with Mo and help, especially with Katy. GSD continues to smoke and not work on a cure.

Leo complains to Mo about Andres and his new girlfriend. I think Mo has bigger problems you whiner. Mo tells her to shut up, Azul is there and might hear her. He says he wants Andres to return to Leo. Leo figures that Mo is using the relationship between Andres and Ceci. She is pleased. GSD comes in.

Lidia and Clemencia argue about Piero, Lidia wants to recover him, Clemencia says to divorce him and move on. She finally asks why she would want a guy like that anyway. Lidia says fine, then why did you want to stay with Manuel when he did the same thing? Ah, good question Lidia.

GSD says Eva told him that Mo infected Azul, Mo says it was a lie. GSD says he knows, Eva always lies. One point for Mo here, I guess. GSD says he thinks that Eva is horrible and explains how she slowly poisoned Leo, who is actually not sick. Mo realizes that this means that Eva has infiltrated his staff. GSD says maybe, but this is proof that they need to accuse Eva of attempted murder. Yeah I’m sure that will work out well.

Azul, who is making sure her sweater is unzipped low enough and pulled to the side to show off her cleavage (thank you Azul we appreciate it), is playing in the yard with Katy. Azul goes to hide while Katy counts, but then the doorbell rings. Azul answers and it’s Silvana. She thinks she’s at the wrong house, but Azul says it’s the right place. Silvana says Diego gave her the address last night, “we were together.” Azul glares at her. Azul says “yeah I know he likes to go out with lots of women.” They bicker and spat. Azul says that she herself is the one that Diego truly loves. Katy shows up and is happy to see Silvana. She says how great it is that Azul and Silvana are friends. Ha. She says she hopes they’ll all be friends forever. She manages to throw in that Azul will be her mama.

GSD argues with Leo and Mo about who could have infiltrated the house. Mo wants to find out, GSD says he doesn’t have time for that. GSD wants Mo’s help to formally accuse Eva of some crimes. Mo makes excuses to not do that just yet.

Clemencia makes excuses for why she forgave Manuel for cheating. Basically because they had been together longer than Lidia and Piero. Lidia thinks it’s crap. Which it is. Clemencia finally says she didn’t think Lidia wasn’t in love with Piero anyway, she married for comfort. Clemencia wants her to just forget Piero and start over. I agree. Clemencia finally says that Anibal wants Lidia to work for him, she says she can’t think about a job right now. How very practical. She leaves, saying that she’s going to HER house where she lives with HER husband. Whatever.

Leo wants to know what is going to happen to her, but she’ll be fine. They all decide to get all new staff, she only eats what she prepares for herself, etc. GSD finally says he’s going to work and leaves. Leo wants to kill Eva, Mo says no, it will guarantee his and Azul’s deaths. Mo says now she’s not sick, does she want to share the good news with Andres, or can they stay here and talk some more? This is a big thing Mo has on Leo, Leo certainly doesn’t want Andres to know she’s well, he’ll bolt and be gone forever.

Silvana listens to Katy prattle on about her ‘new mama.’ She steers the conversation to Katy’s real mom. Katy says she remembers something…. and the scene changes. Forced drama.

GSD sees Azul looking all anguished, so of course he decides saving her life can wait and he stops to talk to her. She is staring out the window at Silvana and Katy, Azul tells GSD who Silvana is. Azul is upset at Silvana talking about Diego. GSD says to forget about Diego. Azul says why, is there something you aren’t telling me? GSD mumbles something. Finally he just says that he was at Eva’s and Diego was there. That counts as proof? He makes it sound like he walked in on them having sex, when of course he saw absolutely nothing.

Manuel and Clemencia argue in the dining room about Lidia not wanting a job. Clemencia says if he doesn’t want Lidia to work, then HE needs to find a job. Burn!

Mo tells Andres to fire all the staff, he says nothing about Leo being well, he says it’s for security. The phone rings, Mo is pissed and wants to know who has his new number. Turns out to be Frick, his new security guy. Frick says the yogurt looks like it was tampered with. Jacinto, that’s his name. Jacinto says he hit the guy who delivers the yogurt. Mo says something that has a hidden meaning to Leo, she makes a look. Jacinto gets off the phone and it turns out that Ivan is right there next to him, nodding in approval. Lots of double crossing here. Andres wants to know what’s up with the yogurt problem. Mo makes something up, Leo is worried that Mo will spill the beans. He doesn’t.

Lidia is on the phone trying to return the furniture for money. Piero comes in and wants to know what she’s doing.

Manuel shows up at Piero’s old house. Piero isn’t there, his sort of wife is rude to him. Manuel tells her that he wants to help get Lidia and Piero divorced. She says to tell Lidia to just leave Piero alone. Manuel says fine, but what about all the stuff Piero promised? The apartment, car, job for Manuel? What about that?

Piero says that even if Lidia tried to get him out, she didn’t do it. He says his sort of wife can help him, Lidia can’t. That’s the long and short of it. She tries to talk sexy and say that she can help him. He says she can’t, she finally says she’ll leave him to Lucia. He grabs her and they talk all up close and start kissing. He says he’s crazy without her. He’s getting everything back to the old way, he’s back with the woman with money and boinking Lidia on the side. And she is letting him do it.

Clemencia shows up at Anibal’s office, I think she is going to try and take the job herself. Anibal gets a phone call and Clemencia sits and waits. He gets off and wants to know what brings her in. She says about the job, he says did you tell your daughter? She says she wants the job. Some romantic music plays, just in case anyone out there can’t see what’s coming.

Silvana beats the hell out of some eggs while talking to Diego, she fills him in on her visit to Katy. She says Azul was there like the woman of the house, and mother to Katy. She says it looks like Azul is going to marry Mo.

Mo seems to know that it is Jacinto that is the traitor, he isn’t going to fire him, he’s going to use him against Eva.

Diego tells Silvana that Mo is sick from experiments with medicines. Silvana says Katy remembers her mom talking to some man about medicines that didn’t work when she got in the accident. Diego says that Mo’s business must be medicine substitutes or something evil like that. They decide Mo is evil. Diego immediately worries that Azul is in danger.

Monday – GSD says after he cures Azul and Mo, he is going to give the wrong formula to Eva. Eva tells Ivan that Mo and Azul have to die. Piero and Lidia decide to use the apartment as a sex shack. Manuel wants to be with Isela. Diego tells Azul to stay away from Mo because she loves him. More of the same I think.

Mo suddenly announces that he can’t see. That’s how I feel whenever we see Andres kissing Leo.

lol! Nice work. They're definitely putting the show into a holding pattern. I'm really going to miss the shots of the pool at Mansion Malicia v 1.0
 

Gracias, gracias Chris, for a great, witty recap. Everyone seems to have a sudden fatal case of the stupids, no? Or perhaps they were already too stupid. I loved your images of GSD smoking and whining rather than working to save his daughter. One wonders if he would be so single minded and determined (smirk) if it were his light loafered son who had been infected with the dreaded virus. The writers must be LOL when they keep compounding the silly foibles of this hard smoking man of science with his psychologist amante and his world of phobias.
I like the new house with its sleek uber-modern look but I too will miss the pool, 5ft. But, que the hell, Mo can't see that the pool is gone anyway.
And is it possible that the pixie eared Diego may actually work for a change?? I'm not sure that is allowed by the divine law of telenovelas
 

Thanks, Ferro. Gee, poisoned yogurt..death by dairy product. We are going around and around and around here. I am dizzy. I think I'll crawl into bed in my jogging suit and have a yogurt. And you're right about Gaspar slowly turning into Granillo..what is up with that ?
 

Thank you everyone for the comments. I feel guilty that for the last few weeks I haven't even been able to keep up in reading recaps, much less watching the show. I know I haven't missed much but I don't like it when I don't participate in discussion. Maybe I need to be in a book group or something.
Anyway - yes, we are definitely in a holding pattern. This is about the third week now where not much has really happened. I guess small things have happened, but the main things remain the same - Azul and Diego are stupid and mad at each other, GSD still smokes instead of working most of the time, all the bit players keep getting in petty little arguments with each other.
One thing I did like a lot was the other day when we found out that Flava Flava likes porn, that was funny. He got turned on in a hurry with Silvana's hotline message. I used to defend this show against people who didn't like it by saying "at least things HAPPEN." Now, this show is trying to prove me wrong.
 

Hey Ferro, I missed your amusing and insighfful point of view. Great recap. I also get dizzy trying to keep up with the spy vs. spy stuff going on in Amar. I'm no longer even sure who is double-crossing whom or why.

Isn't it amazing that even though Mo has been struck blind, at least temporarily, he still has the energy to continue his nefarious plotting. As for Diego and Azul, from now on we could probably just cut and paste any previous scene with these two dolts craving, misunderstanding and not speaking to each other. 'Cause that's all they do every day of the year.
