Juan Q 1-15-08 - Pau on a mission, Pastor accused of an omission, and CL out of commission?

Fer is telling Moni the news...Busted!! It's Pastor's brother and he sealed the deal with Akito before he died and the girls knew nothing about it. Moni tells him to find out all he can.

Here's your public service announcement. Pastor And CL chat about the prostate exam. Pastor tells him you should do them every year, if you are over 40-he does. He tells him it's like anything else. He advises him to relax about it and your worries will go away. Cl is now afraid that he's going to tell him that he likes this exam!! Pastor says look, if you take the test you haven't lost your manhood but if you don't take it you could..... bien dicho Pastor.

Pastor wants to tell Ivy something out of earshot of Mar. He makes fun of Mr Macho to Ivy that he's so scared of a prostate exam. Ivy worries what if they find something and Pstor thinks she should be so lucky because that would get her off the hook with him.

Pau and Kike are still chatting, Juan isn't moved by her anymore so she should just leave him alone. Is she prepared to leave everything for him? She hesitates and looks unsure and Kike believes he's proved his point and that Juan's now starting to recover. Pau says in that case you do know where he is. Kike says he doesn't know, but Pau says please if you see or hear from him tell him to call me at my mother's house where I now live because I need to speak to him. She promises she won't hurt him.

Ivy fishes with Cl about the appointment and he plays dumb. He tells her to go and she's pleased that he won't need her tonight either.

Moni just then comes in and tells Cl who's behind the deal with the Anthuriums.

Kike calls Fer and tells him about Pau's visit and Fer tells him how they used Anga as the cover and Kike agrees to support that story. Fer thinks this isn't good news, because he sees Juan content now and without troubles so maybe they should just stay quiet, but Kike thinks Juan has the right to know.

Pau is on the phone to Mar buggin' her to know where he is and she swears she doesn't know. She tells Pau to forget Juan and get him out of her life. After she hangs up she says like she did.

Moni is having doubts of Pastor's loyalty and Cl defends him. She thinks this was industrial espionage and that Pastor set them up.

Pastor yells at Ivy for mentioning the urologist to CL because now he's going to be in trouble for being chismoso. She says she couldn't help it. Of course just then CL calls and wants to see him immediately so he uses that to shame Ivy and takes off.

Fer and Juan are chatting. Fer tells him Pau is looking for him Juan says he's got nothing to say to her Fer continues babbling while Juan wonders why she would try to contact him just when he's learn to life with her absense.

Moni and CL give Pastor the 3rd degree and want to know why he would open his mouth about something so delicate. He apologizes and admits it was him. They go on and on about how could he and Moni was so sure he was the traitor and Cl is impactado and can't believe he could be such a traitor and careless etc. Pastor apologizes and offers excuses for several minutes. Finally he says that woman just wrenches things out of him and so he told her about the urologist and the prostate exam appointment. Moni and Cl turn to stare blamkly at each other. She that he actually made an appointment and he that Pastor was talking about that.

Moni now turns her questioning to CL about the test. He diverts the attention back to PAstor, that he did something worse than the indiscretion he thought he did and he's really in hot water now.

Moni rehashes about the deal falling apart but Pastor swears he has no idea what they are talking about. They double team him and tell him surely he spilled info to his brother and why didn't he tell them about him being the competitor. Pastor whines that he did nothing of the sort, please he swears he knew nothing about any of it.

Back in Achi Delfi looks for Anga and wonders where he went.

Juan sees Anga in the plaza who tells him he's leaving for good, because that woman never really cared for him. He wonders about the business. Anga says he can't be in business with Aldemar and tells Juan he has until tomorrow to figure it out because Aldemar goes or Anga goes.

Moni and CL are still talking about the prostate exam. She wonders why he's going for that and he tells her that the doc found abnormal blood results etc. Moni eventually figures out that he's scared about the whole endeavor. She offers that she'll go with him if he wants and he thanks her for this offer.

Pastor cries to Ivy that he had nothing to do with all this. She's trying to make him feel better that he's not guilty until they prove it and no one has proven anything. Pastor still maintains he's doomed and rushes off. To add insult to injury, Delirio is coming in with the other pirateers and spots him and greets him before the elevator about the computer programs. He goes on and on but Pastor eventually stops listening and goes into the elevator.

Light bulbs are going off for Pau at home. She talks to her mom. She wonders if maybe Juan's in the place where he came from, his birthtown.

CL calls Pau to invite her for dinner, she gladly agrees and thanks him for the thought. Ana sarcastically says, "and she was thinking about Juan." Pau says it's only part of my therapy and nothing else. Mmm not convinced, don't think Ana is either...

Juan has a long conversation with himself about whether he should call Pau. He goes back and forth. He thanks the bell saving him because Susana shows up just as he decides he'll call. This must be the Santo Nino's sign.

Pastor goes to the market to look for his brother. He begs Kike to tell him where he is, but Kike swears he doesn't know. Kike wants to know what the problem is and Pastor cries he's gotten me into a mess and he's the only one that can get me out.

Susana distracts Juan and asks him to take her on an excursion to the countryside today. He hesitates at first but then agrees she's right that they should take advantage of the beautiful day.
Molo and Herli are running the business accepting furniture etc. and seeming to get along well. Herli seems to be warming a little to him. He tells her flattering things.

In nature Sus and Juan are bonding. He tells how he liked to come there when he was little. He tells her a story about his grandmother yelling at him for throwing rana in the sopa (frogs in the soup). He said a woman he would bring there has to be very special and she confirms that he considers her that. He leans in to kiss but can't. She thinks all this happy bubbly attitude is a front for a great sadness and wants to know what he's hiding.

Pau back on the phone with Mar wants to know the name of the village and Mar tells her that's a crazy idea that he went back there.

Sus gets it out of him supposing that it's a love pain. He tells her she's right and that it's over Pau and gives her the details. She realizes that's why he left Farell. He tells her a little more and that the dream turned into a nightmare and he tells her about him being a third wheel and CL and Pau getting married. He stops himself and wonders what she'll think about him going on like this. She says she thinks he's a real man and that he knows how to really feel love and cry about it. Back in the town he asks what she thought of the river and she loved it. She says she wasn't bored and the excursion was worth it to get to know him a little better. She kissed him on the cheek and thanks him for taking her. He says he has to pick up Juanito.

Cl has prepared a nice dinner for he and Pau. he tells her he's worried about tomorrow's test. She tells him that she hopes it's nothing and not to worry because she'll go with him.

Just then Moni calls and wants to know if she's interrupting and he says no worries he and Pau just finished dinner. Moni smirks and wants to know about tomorrow. He says oh don't worry, Pau is going with me. Moni hangs up and goes ballistic! She screams and throws the phone and scares Laura half to death. Laura counsels her to chill out, and like it or not Pau is the wife now, not the lover and essentially she's going to have to accept that.

Cl and Pau argue about Moni's interference but he promises she's harmless and they shouldn't talk about her anymore and instead enjoy the dinner.

Delirio and Nid are at dinner and he is pouring it on thick about how much they love each other and lust after each other. Nid is buying it.

Pau is telling Ana that she's not coming home again. Ana tells her she doesn't need to tell her things like that, she's no longer 12 and they bicker again because Ana is mad at Pau's flipflopping of course and CL's magic way of clouding her judgment.

Aliro in bed is "reminding" Nid of their romantic exploits. He's embellishing, just a little. He's back to his famous screaming again and of course the peanut gallery is outside speculating about the activity again. Nid wonders what is wrong with him, if she should call a doctor, but he says nothing wrong he's fully enjoying the moment and she tells him to stop screaming or the neighbors are going to complain.

The next day Pau and Cl are at the docs and he's getting his exam. They show the doc putting on the glove.

The next day at breakfast Alirio lays it on thick again and starts telling Nid that she should get him things, basically pupeteering her. Referencing the evening's events, Yadi wonders if anyone heard the cat fight last night. Marely says it sounded to her like they were being tortured, not just in a fight!!

The phone rings. Yadi yells at Perafan for taking advantage of her Mom. Yadi spils the beans that Nid is really annoyed by ALirio. Nid asks him if that's true.

Ivy is on the phone to her buddy at the urologists office. Her buddy violates any possible confidentiality convention and tells Ivy that her boss has nothing to worry aobut he's fine. Ya caigo la bomba, Ivy begs her friend to do her a huge favor. Of course we are introduced to this chick for a reason!! Next we see the doc telling CL he's sorry, the result are very clear, and he's got cancer! Dum dum dum dummmm!!!

I found this to be a very strange episode...the bit about Ivonne's friend switching the results (and how?) was just surreal. Whoops..oh yeah, I forgot...this is a telenovela. But still, telling a guy he has cancer just for fun. Too strange.
The "Three's Company" confusion in the fight with Pastor, Monica and Cesar Luis was funny, if predictable, but I gagged when Paula solemnly promised Kike she "wouldn't hurt Juan again"...how can she promise that when she's not sure of her feelings? Bleeeeggghh.
 

What the?!?!? I hope the writers don't think lying to CL about having cancer is supposed to be funny. It's not. What a creepy plot twist. I could barely believe my ears, what poor taste, even by telenovela standards. Ivonne is back at the bottom of my s**T list for pulling that stunt.

I liked the scene with Moni, CL and Pastor, where they were talking about different things but thought they were talking about Pastor spying for Anga.

Kris, you are an angel for doing this Tuesday recap. It is NOT a quickie, it's a full-on recap. We really appreciate your hard work.

By the way, I don't think I coined the Tweedles Dee and Dum reference for the roly polies of Achichipico. As is the case with so many of our nicknames, somebody, recapper or commenter, make a brilliant reference and it sticks for life. All for one...

On a different note, when I went down south last weekend the kid (Sergio) who picked us up from San Diego to drive us to our boat in Ensenada told me that Jaime Camil had been in Ensenada to shoot some scenes for a movie. Sergio got to be an extra for a few days and got to hang out with Jaime. He said Jaime is a super nice guy.

Thanks Keel-haulin Lea Dread!!
 

Actually, I think I'm going to maybe go against the grain on this one because I thought that was a fitting punishment for CL the sleasy, evil one. He's been nothing but slime with a capital S. Are my Cl despisers still out there?

Though apalled at the ease with which information is manipulated by the doctor's assistant, who has no personal beef with any of these people except that she must really like Ivy to do this blindly for her, I guess I'm able to suspend reality enough to think this is well deserved.

CL is the ultimate manipulator on this show. He completely orchestrated his whole relationship with Pau, turned his adoring sweet wife into a vindictive embittered woman scorned, plays with Ivy (and Pastor for that matter) like a ragdoll, and manipulates the heck out of everything around him (though Moni is now coming close) and it's like the ultimate turn about that someone has manipulated something that now affects him so seriously, and it's quite poignant that ironically it's his "manhood" and not brain cancer or some other typical novela ailment, so I'm inclined to think it's fair play.

Granted Cl is nowhere near the villains we see in other novelas, murdering and raping, infecting with terminal diseases, etc. but tricking him into believing he has an illness (which may still be treatable, at this point, we don't know how far advanced it's supposed to be) I think suits him as equal punishment for all the tricks he's perpetrated; in sort of an eye for an eye way.

Again, all from a novela standpoint, because ultimately somehow they'll all find out that he doesn't really have it and it will all be ok again, not like he was actually given cancer. There's really only emotional damage which is essentially what he inflicts on others. Anyway, I guess I'm not that shocked over this. Mad, because now all the soul searching Pau has done is going to get interrupted, but I guess we knew that had to happen becasue there are still like 6 months left of the show so she can't figure it all out yet.... :)
 

K, I loved your title. It is so you (to the point, smart and funny)

I agree with you regarding CL, he deserves a lot more. What I can't believe, is that Erika (Yvonne's friend) would do something like that. Is Yvonne such a good friend that she is willing to jeopardize her job, and even her freedom? I don't know... Anyway I guess we’ll have to accept that maybe the writers are fresh out of ideas. On the other hand wouldn’t it have been much easier to just make it a real mistake? I would have believed it if the nurse put the wrong label or something, why do they want Yvonne to know that he is not really sick?
Sorry, I’m always looking for the why behind the action, and sometimes I get carried away.
Again K thank you for the recap
 

K-keelhaulin’ lea dread—Thanks for the terrific recap, made even more terrific by your willingness to do it two nights straight! What a gal!

“Pastor says look, if you take the test you haven't lost your manhood but if you don't take it you could..... bien dicho Pastor.” I thought it was pretty cool of the writers to sneak this part in. Folks need to hear it; what better forum than a telenovela?

“Light bulbs are going off for Pau at home.” This has to be a first. I never expected Paula to figure this one out—or anything, for that matter. For a smart woman, she’s clueless most of the time.

“Moni hangs up and goes ballistic! She screams and throws the phone and scares Laura half to death. Laura counsels her to chill out, and like it or not Pau is the wife now, not the lover and essentially she's going to have to accept that.” Monica is way over the top when she reacts to Paula now. She’s going to drive herself and everyone around her nuts.

“Delirio and Nid are at dinner and he is pouring it on thick about how much they love each other and lust after each other. Nid is buying it.” It nauseated me. That would have been enough for me to fully recover my memory in just a few instants.

“Aliro in bed is "reminding" Nid of their romantic exploits.” The back of his white jammie pants was just a revolting sight. The writers and producers should get time out for that (the schoolmarm solution to lots of things). Eww.

Sylvia, I called them Tweedledee and Tweedledum, but I am pretty sure you shortened it to Tweedles, and to T1 and T2.

They just looked like Tweedledum and Tweedledee to me early on so that's what I called 'em. They are definitely Tweedles.

:-)

Jeanne
 

OMG I laughed so hard when Alirio's flat rana rear in white boxers was front and center for the camera! It was revolting.

Well, I see Kris's point but I still think lying to CL that he has cancer is a dreadful plot line. CL is a slimy master manipulator, however his biggest victims have allowed themselves to be used over and over again. I hope Ivonne's friend wrote the wrong diagnosis on CL's results instead of swapping them with someone else, then some poor soul who has cancer will be told he's fine. Uh, am I overanalyzing just a bit? Ah well, telenovelas...
 

Oh, I hope that isn't Ivonne's brilliant revenge idea. What a horrible thing to write into a light telenovela.

Jeanne
 

"Alirio's flat rana rear in white boxers was front and center for the camera!" ROTFL!!! Sylvia, I just realized what you said here and you are SO right! It looked exactly like that! (shiver and shudder)

Jeanne
 

No I don't think your overanalyzing, because I actually thought the same thing, and that really to me would be the worst possible damage if some other poor guy goes untreated because of a switcheroo nonsense, but we'll believe that she just had an extra copy laying around or something, OK!!
