Juan Q 10-17-06 "The flesh is weak, and the devil is the devil" and he wears boots and rolled up sleeves...

The security guards begin to take away Juan and Kike as they protest loudly and Juan continues to beg Pablo to take mercy and pity on him that he has no other hope. Finally Pablo throws him a bone. He asks the guys to let go of them, that he wants to hear them out. Juan says he touched heaven and he lost it by being stupid and Pablo is the only one who can help him get it back. Pablo understands him to be talking about a woman. Juan says she’s an angel, no a goddess and he has to help.

We flash to Guti in jail ordering some thug to bring Perafan to see him, that he needs to talk to him, and to tell him if he doesn’t come he’ll start singing like a canary.

Then we go to Alirio’s dungeon where he tells Pastor, for now he’s not going to reveal anything. Pastor questions, for now? Ali says yes, it all depends on you and how willing you are to solve all of this. He says Gaitan acquired a lot of money through illegal means and Ali asked himself why he couldn’t share in that. Pastor asks him if he’s blackmailing him. He says, no, more like a redistribution of wealth, and his word not to say anything has a value, so he thinks they should form an association of sorts. Pastor tells him the money has all been spent. Alirion hits him with the legal implications of what he’s done and Pastor cuts to the chase and asks how much he wants. Alirio likes where this is going and tells Pastor that sounds more like it. Money signs chaching in his eyes.

Mar comes in to find Nid with a cold compress on her head and asks what is wrong, if she’s sick. She says she needs her blood pressure to go down, her sugar, her temperature, and her mood. She says she’s sick in the soul. Your stupid sister has stuck her foot into it with Kike (meter la pata) and she’s turned me into an abuela! Mar is impactada.

Moni comes home and Cl asks where she was. She doesn’t like that greeting but tells him she was with her cousin Laura. He continues, “What were you talking to Pastor so long for.” She tells him it doesn’t suit you to know. Cl presses, so she tells him Pastor asked her to be on his side instead of Cl’s so that he doesn’t get fired. Cl asks if there was anything more. She says yes but not important. They talked about the fact that you are abusing your power and somedays he doesn’t even know you. Cl tells her so that she doesn’t think he’s a monster he’s already given up the idea of firing Gaitan.

Alirio gets a call and a message passed through from the thug about Gutierrez.

Juan says to Kike told you so. Kike tells him he is the most optimistic guy in the world and he couldn’t believe that he’d get…he’s about to say the name when Juan shushes him with a Calle 12 alert as he doesn’t want everyone to know. He tells Kike after class they’ll go and pick up the guy on the disc who will do the serenade and all the rest. Kike again doesn’t understand and Juan tells Kike that he promised him the whole gang would sing including todo el marrano puesto.

Ana calls Pau. She misses her Pau appreciates her call and misses her much.

Ali goes to jail to see Guti. Gomez hasn’t talked but Guti will if Ali doesn’t get him out. He asks Ali for money.

Fer gets a call from Nid. Nid wants him to stop calling her Senora. She suffers for him, but she’s looking for Enrique. She asks if she can see him in an hour. Next thing we know she’s spiffing up. Mar comes upon her getting ready and wondering why she’s going out so late. Nid says her sister screwed up her life but she doesn’t have to surrender herself. Mar says fine I was just asking. She wonders what she should tell Alirio if he comes looking for her.

At the technical school, the teacher is telling her class how pathetic they are and that none of them will amount to much, except one test rose above. She calls out Juan. He starts apologizing for his poor performance when she congratulates him for rising above the mediocrity of everyone else and actually learning some. Juan tells himself this woman hasn’t given up trying to bed him, that or kike is right and he is the most optimistic.

Ali comes home and asks Mar where Nid is. She essentially says she’s not her mother’s keeper.

At a bar Nid tells Fer Yadi’s secret. He denies he’s still interested in Yadi. She takes advantage of that answer to throw herself at him and propositions his “services” as hombre because he’s made her feel so much better, just chatting with him. He wonders about her husband. He seems reluctant, then decides que the hell and orders some more “dead ones”.

Kike challenges Juan about his test and asks if he copied. Juan says he’s many things, but he’s not a trickster. Kike looks at him like que the hell. He says ok, he’s a little tricky but he’s on the road to recovery. Kike tells him he can’t trust everything to Santo Nino de Atocha, we have to put ourselves to work too. Juan says tomorrow because now they have to go get Pablo.

Next we see Nid and Fer in bed with a few less clothes. They are gossiping about Juan and Pau. This conversation was actually quite cute because they seem to have a genuine comfort level chatting and relating to each other. She compliments him that they had a great time, but bummer she’s married and a Mom, so time to go now. Wham bam thank you Man. She asks about the next time, and he says we’ll see. She appreciates that he’s not too easy.

We see Alirio trying to get into the desk that is locked with a key.

Mar and Yadi have a conversation about her estado and Yadi guesses mar is mad too for becoming a premature aunt. Mar says it shouldn’t matter what we are turning into, rather what she is turning into. She continues to tell her she’s irresponsible and that she and Kike don’t even have a relationship and she doesn’t even know what she wants for her life. Yadi launches into an unexpected speech about how it seems Mar thinks being a mother is degrading and that sorry, she needs to accept that she has a sister that aspires to nothing more than being a Mom and waiting for her husband to come home with dinner on the table and taking to the traditional role.

Alirio is next in Juan’s room and he is searching for something. Mar catches him and accuses him of looking for her Mom. He tells her he was looking for something he needed, but yes, it’s strange she’s gone out at this hour and Juan isn’t home either. She yells at him for suggesting that her Mom might be with Juan. Alirio explains he wasn’t thinking bad things about her Mom, but he wants her to realize that the flesh is weak and the devil is the devil ( or to him I guess wears boots) so

Juan shows up outside Pau’s with Pablo and 200 Mariachis in tow. Juan says he’s in Pablo’s hands. Pab says he’ll do what he can. Juan tells Kike, “If I don’t get back with my little dove, my heart will stop beating, it will die!”

Y Musica Maestro!!! Pau awakens from sleep to a full on hifidelity mariachi ensemble with Emilioooo crooning the famous song: Deja que salga la luna

Deja que salga la luna
Deja que se meta el sol
Deja que caiga la noche
Pa' que empieze nuestro amor
Deja que las estrellitas
Me llenen de inspiracion
Para decirte cositas muy bonitas, corazon
Yo se que no hay en el mundo
Amor como el que me das
Y se que noche tras noche
Va creciendo mas y mas
(Mariachi)
Se que noche tras noche,
Va creciendo, mas y mas
Cuando estoy entre tus brazos
Siempre me pregunto yo
Cuanto me debe el destino
Que contigo me pago
Por eso es que ya mi vida
Toda te la entrego a ti
Tu que me diste un beso
Lo que nunca te pedi
Yo se que no hay en el mundo
Amor como el que me das
Y se que noche tras noche
Va creciendo mas y mas
(Mariachi)
Se que noche tras noche,
Va creciendo, mas y mas
Deja, que salga la luna

Let the moon rise
Let it put down the sun
Let the night fall
So that our love will begin

Let the little stars
Fill me with inspiration
To tell you lovely things, my dear
I know in the world
There's no love like that you give me
And I know that night after night
It's going to grow more and more

When I'm in your arms
I always ask myself
How much do I owe destiny
That it has paid me with you
It's because of this now my life
All of it I give over to you
You who gave me a kiss
That I never even asked you for
(Repeats)

I tell ya, that boy, whatever is screwed up in his acting or personal life, he can definitely sing!!!!!OOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Juan tells Kike if she turns on the light he has some hope. Pau stands inside wondering what she ought do. She turns on the light and goes out with a smile. Juan beams like a kid that just figured out how to balance on his first bike. He tells himself:
Divine apparition, love of my loves, here is your love, so you shouldn’t ever forget in your life the one who is given life by caring for you, the one who is standing afar, don’t forget. Pau goes back in fairly quickly after that.

Marely wonders where Juan has ended up.


The song finishes and now they wonder what next. Kike thinks maybe she is coming down. Juan thanks Pablo, who isn’t convinced that his song did the trick. He says she heard it and that’s what matters. Pablo says he has to go and Juan asks Kike to pay him. Pablo refuses to take the money and tells him he admires him for doing whatever crazy thing for love. They get into a blazer type thing and drive off. All 200 hundred of them. I really wondered how they fit especially with all of their instruments.

Juan decides that they are going to go too and Kike is surprised at this but Juan assures him he knows how to handle this. We see Pau crawling back into bed and asking her Mother’s picture, why it’s so hard to know what one feels. Juan tells himself on the way home in the car, that he thought it was the smallest things that gave him hope, her smile, it couldn’t be the smile of someone who didn’t care for the man. He said he’s learning little by little, and he agrees he needs to do what his Goddess of Silver suggested, give her space and take things little by little.


Nid comes home and enters her room with a full on post love session sigh. Ali wonders where she was. She says, “I was in the street.” Doing what exactly? He wonders. She reminds him they had a deal when she agreed to this marriage and her private life is none of his concern so get rid of that sawed off shotgun face (Escopete recortata). Alirio disagrees and accuses her of being up to no good with Dominguez. Nid is impactada.

Pastor is in his bed recalling the earlier convers. with Alirio and that he said the consequences of divulging this information have legal implications….

Nid laughs that he would suggest Juan is involved. She tells him not to be silly and that the poor guy is already plagued by a lot of gossip, he doesn’t need more, he’s probably counting sheep right now. She finally kicks him out of her room because she doesn’t want to deal with this.

Juan comes home and asks Perafan what he’s doing down there. He tirades that the world doesn’t revolve around him and partly it’s his fault. Juan is perplexed as he just came home, Alirio points out the “just” and says he’s got lots of work in the morning so he doesn’t want to discuss stupid things further tonight. They go to bed.

The next morning Juan says in Achichipico they always said that you think better in the morning because at those hours you see inside yourself better. He said he was dying to fight for his licenciada and not lose the only thing that makes sense in his life, Love.

At the breakfast table an odd caucus of sorts is taking place regarding Yadi. Ali doesn’t know what is the topic, but he is denied the floor to speak. Juan is given the floor and he says he thinks this is something that should be solved together by the couple. Mar agrees. Nid agrees and asks yadi what Kike said. She says nothing concrete yet. The doorbell rings. Ali keeps on bantering and Nid says he still wasn’t given the floor, caramba! Kike shows up. Yadi screams out with a big smile, you are going to marry me, Enrique? And the game show suspense music plays as a roundabout of impactada faces rotates on the screen, Kike’s the most affected!

Good Lord Almighty! What a scare.

I'm not able to watch JUAN on a daily basis; I read the Caray! recaps all the time, then every other week or so, I check the show. This was one of my "check" days. I just about choked when I clicked on and the first thing I see on my rather large screen is Emiliooooooo belting his heart out.

For a moment I thought DUELO had been revived from the dead and I was being punished for something terrible I'd done in my childhood, but then there was Juan standing beside Emilioooooooo, and I thought no, JUAN must be being punished for something terrible he'd done in HIS childhood... and then I relaxed and enjoyed it, because yes, you said it, k, that boy Pablo can definitely sing.

His voice is like butterrrrrrr.

Terrific recap, too!
 

Oh, I loved that song too. Thanks so much for posting the lyrics, I'm gonna look for it on the internet.

It's interesting, in this novela, how all the folks who were billed as villains - with the exception of Alirio - have saving graces. I don't hate any of them but that one little gasbag and he's pretty funny so que the hell. What a fun show.
 

Thanks for "escopete recortada"...it's going on my vocab list, and for the words to the cancion. Yes, Pablo redeemed himself for months of bad acting by his fabulous singing...AND, his face was very expressive as he sang....not his fault, I guess, that the telenovela writers ask him to do something he's not suited for.
 

With Juan and Pablo standing side by side we were looking at complete opposites of the acting spectrum. K is right, Pablo's got a fantastic voice.

I really enjoyed this episode. There was a lot going on and I was proud of Juan for doing well on his exam. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

Does it seem like Monica is finally starting to grow weary of CL's rotten humor and nasty behavior?

I think we've discussed this before but I've forgotten, what is a Calle 12 alert?

Great recap K, thanks!
 

Glad you asked about Calle 12 Sylvia...I wondered about that also.
Maricruz...do you know?

Judy B.
 

Well, I thought when Juan was saying calle 12 he was telling Kike to "quiet down number 12" using a somewhat famous line but I don't remember what from, so I could be wrong about that.

I posted the English translation for the song so you can check that out if you like...
 

Thank you for the translation of the song lyrics. Such a great song and he sings the heck out of it. I feel a big guilty for making fun of his performance as Emilio when I hear him sing, wow. Too bad they don't put him in a telenovela where he plays a professional singer... maybe something funny so he can crack a few smiles with that handsome face.
 

K, thanks for the terrific recap! I wasn’t able to see the epi, so this is keeping me updated!

Sitting the airport and reading all this it hit me that there are so many sub-plots going here that it’ll be a miracle if they wrap them all up eventually. Pastor, Alirio, Gutis—domino blackmail. It’s a hoot! Nidia can’t stand the idea of abuela-hood. Paula is the ultimate pill, Juan is the ultimate clueless, and CL is the ultimate liar. But I remind myself that Melinama always points out so far there’s no murder and mayhem.

“Juan tells Kike that he promised him the whole gang would sing including todo el marrano puesto.” Really, only our Juan could persuade Pablo Montero to serenade his Palomita. Anyone else Pablo would probably tell where to jump off. But, then, that’s why he’s “irresistible Juan.”

“but bummer she’s married and a Mom, so time to go now. Wham bam thank you Man.” ROTFL in the airport lobby!!!! That Nidia, she’s a piece of work! She’s relentless with Fernando, isn’t she?

Stephe, you are toooo funny!

Jeanne
 

Hi, Jeanne! :D

Hoping everything's good in your life, girlfriend.
