Juan Q. Monday, Jan 14, Where Your recapper doesn’t have a smart title for you

It is complete now, again thank you for your patience
I’m cutting and pasting the end of Friday’s show from Jeanne’s recap. She is better at recapping than me and like my grandma used to say “Para que le buscas 3 pies al gato sabiendo que tiene 4” (Lit. Why are you looking for 3 paws on the kitty if you already know it has 4? In other words, why should I complicate my life?)

Enjoy

CL waits in bed for Paula, shiny royal blue jammies and all. Paula, on the other hand, looks much better in his shirt than she does in any of her own clothes. It covers way more, too. He tells her to excuse him, but she’s absolutely divine. She thinks she’d look better in her jammies. CL doesn’t care; she looks best in his bedroom. She gets into bed with him, uncomfortable, and he turns to talk…about her not getting the wrong idea. He didn’t ask her to stay to…..um…..she understands. “Until tomorrow” they tell each other awkwardly. He turns back to her yet again; could he give her a little good night kiss? Sure, one. Would she let him give her another? Yeah. She laughs. He comes back and she smiles at his game—would you let me give me the final one? The last one and that’s it. Ya. She chuckles, doesn’t tell him yes, but doesn’t push away, either. He kisses her again and it’s apparently not really the last one. He goes at her neck and we are left to try and figure out what her facial expression says—discomfort? Lust? Thinking of Juan? They get on in earnest and Paula looks like she might go with the program, stroking his back with her long fingers and recently-done nails.

And we begin

Nidia is still very confused; she can’t believe everything that Marely has told her. She is crying and can’t believe she married Delirio. While looking thru the pictures she sees a picture of Juan. She wants to know who the “bombom” (marshmallow) is; Marely explains who he is and how he lived with them for a while. In another room Yadi is talking to Kike. She is worried for her mom, Kike says they have to wait and stay united. He also wonders what happened to Delirio. Yadi is furious because Delirio hasn’t come back. Kike changes the converstaion and asks Yadi maybe they should move, live in their own hose. Impactada face from Yadi

In the Party Heriberto is trying to talk to Susana. He is very drunk and Susana can’t stand him. Juan comes and tells him to stop bothering her; maybe he should go and get some coffee. Susana says she wants some. He goes. Susana thanks Juan for rescuing her. She wants to dance with him.

Nidia and Marely are still walking the memory line. They see pictures of Kike and Yadira’s wedding. Marely tells her that yes they are married and now they have a beautiful girl. Nidia is surprised, but is happy; she knows Kike is a good guy, however she is not to happy on being an “abuela”

In the party the Tweedless (Thanks Jeanne again for the name) are talking. Heriberto is laughing at Casimiro because Juan is dancing with Susana. Casimiro swears that tonight that little fly will fall in his flycatcher.

After the deed is done, Paula and CL are talking. He is trying to convince her to come back. She is not sure ;( so… what’s new) she still has to clarify some more things before coming back. He wants to know what the problem is. She is not telling.

Juan asks Dona Delfina about her conversation with Aldemar. She is surprised that Juan found out about it. She says they were just talking. Juan doesn’t believe it he says that as long as it was just talk is fine, but she needs to remember that she has been spoken for and he doesn’t want her to “hacerle de chivo los tamales” deceive Don Angarita. Delfina feigns being offended. Juan walks away.

Anga approaches Delfina and wants to know why Juan is talking to her so much. She says they were just talking about the business. She wants to go home. Anga offers to accompany her. They leave together.

Juan and his son talk about Juanito’s crush on his teacher. Juanito wants his teacher to become his girlfriend. Juan is trying to explain to him that usually your first love is an innocent love something that you can see but shouldn’t touch. A platonic love, Juanito wants to know what “platonic” means. Juan says that is when you feel like you have been hit over the head with a plate “plato” (hence “platonico”) and because of the hit you become “todo turulato” all dim witted, like you already are (Ed. Note this was just too sweet, I love the way Juan tries to explain things to his son) Juanito is very tired. Juan takes him home.

Anga and Delfina have arrived at Delfina’s house, he wants to stay, but she doesn’t let him.

At the party Molo and Susana are looking for Juan. Casimiro approaches and wants to invite Susana to a walk. She says she is very tired and she would rather go to her hotel room. He misunderstands and thinks she is inviting him to the hotel; he pulls her and tells her he doesn’t mind skipping the walk. Susana doesn’t know how to get rid of him, but as they are leaving Molo trips Casimiro and he falls on the other side of the fence and doesn’t get up. Susana thanks him (Molondon) and since the priest is leaving she hitches a ride with him.

Aldemar comes to Delfina’s house. She receives him wearing a short red silk robe and tells him that she thought he wasn’t coming (Ed Note. I don’t understand Delfina, I thought she really liked Angarita, I know he can’t do the deed right now, but please lady, give him a chance to recover. I can tell she doesn’t know him well, Angarita is not somebody that can be messed with). Anyway, Aldemar approaches her and tells her he wants to skip the marriage and start with the honey moon, she coyly says no, well maybe, what is he thinking? Aldemar keeps on walking towards her and she keeps on backing up until they end up on the couch. Juan enters the room. She changes immediately, she starts yelling telling Aldemar to leave her alone, and how he dares to try to abuse a poor widow. Juan tells Juanito to go to his room. Aldemar tells Juan that Delfina and him were “Jacarandosos” because they were about to celebrate their engagement. At this Angarita shows up at the door and yells “over my dead body” (At this rate, I think this will be a reality).

Molo is walking Herlinda home, he is finally telling her how happy he is, how special this night was, because he danced with her, he was able to sign to her and now he is walking with her. Herlinda tells him that for her it was the opposite. This night was the worst of her life. Juan was dancing and talking to Susana all the time. Molondon tells her that she should forget about Juan. He tells her he wishes he could give Juan his eyes so that he could se her (Herlinda) the way he (Molondon) sees her. Herlinda thanks him, for her and for Juan. Molo tells her he doesn’t do it for Juan, he does it for her. He finally tells her that he loves her. Herlinda wants to know why he hasn’t say anything. He says because he has been affraid of her rejection.

At Delfina’s, Juan is trying to calm Aldemar and Angarita. They are looking at each other like fighting dogs. They are showing their teeth and growling (not really, but I’m telling you that is what they reminded me of) Juan tells them to calm down, they are civilized people and they can talk things out (Yes Juanito, like when you “talked” to CL in the garage, when you found out that he was marrying Paula) They are yelling insults at each other. –That woman has been spoken for. –Yeah? Show me the marriage certificate. –We have a verbal agreement. –So do we, isn’t so Delfinita? Delfina says that she is confused.
Juan tells them that since the Lady is confused they should wait until tomorrow to resolve this matter. Angarita stands up says good night to Delfina and leaves. Aldemar tries to talk to Delfina, but Juan doesn’t let him, he finally leaves. When they both leave Juan scolds Doña Delfina –See what you have provoked? She is unrepentant.

Outside of Delfina’s house Angarita and Aldemar are still fighting. Angarita says that they’ll see tomorrow who the chosen one will be. Aldemar would prefer to solve this right now, he wants to play cards the one that wins, wins her. Algarita refuses. Aldemar then proposes to fight for her, they’ll have a duel tomorrow, and the one that stays alive will win. Algarita accepts.

The next morning Aldemar gets ready for the duel. He wakes his son so that he can be his witness. Don Angarita is getting ready too; he goes to buy a riffle. Herlinda runs to Delfina’s house to let her know of the duel.

Paula wakes up and can’t find CL. She panics and runs out of bed. He is preparing breakfast.

Angarita and Aldemar have their little duel. Juan and Moro prepare the arms. They (Anga and Alde) walk turn and fire. Both of them hit the floor. Delfina runs to Algarita calling him “mi amor” Juan laughs and tells them to get up, he changed the ammunition. It was fake. When Aldemar sees Delfina with Angarita, he understands and tells them that he (Aldemar) is a gracious loser, he won’t bother Delfina again. He wakes up his worthless son and they leave. Juan says he has to take Juanito to school. He also leaves. When Angarita and Delfina are finally alone, he tells her that their relationship is over. She doesn’t understand why. He tells her that he won’t forgive her for accepting somebody else’s attentions.

Nidia talks to everybody at breakfast she apologizes for her behavior. She tells them that she is starting to remember a little bit, and promises that she’ll see a doctor and will take her medication.

Juan is taking Juanito to school. He is telling him about what happened with Dona Delfina. Juan hears somebody calling his name. It’s Fernando, they are very happy to see each other.

Delirio, Gutis and the software guy are talking in Delirio’s office. Nidia walks in and says hi to everybody. She asks to talk to her husband. Delirio can’t believe his ears. Nidia wants to apologize.

Fernando explains to Juan the reason for his visit, how Farrell sent him to investigate. Juan doesn’t know what to do. They decide to talk to Susana.

Delirio is very happy, he wants to know how much does she remember? She tells him that just yesterday she remembered about Samuel’s death. She says that she must have fallen very hard for him since she married so soon. He of course gives her his version of their relationship.

CL receives a phone call from the Dr.’s office. I guess it is important that we know that the name of the Dr.'s Secretary is Erika and that she is Yvonne’s friend. I don’t see the reason, but if they took the time to introduce her to us, it must be important (or not).

Nidia doesn’t remember anything of the relationship with Delirio, but since it sounds so good, she decides to give it a try. She wants Delirio to come back home.


Fernando, Susana and Juan are talking about the problem they have with Farrell. What will Fernando do? He is between a rock and a hard place. Susana has the solution. Fernando is to report that the majority partner in the company is Angarita, thus leaving Juan’s name out the report. They all agree this is a great idea.

Kike arrives to work and remolacha tells him he has visitors. It is Paula, she wants to know where Juan is, she says she won’t leave until Kike tells her where to find him impactadisimo face from Kike.

Fernando calls the company; he swaps sweet nothings with Marely while Yvonne listens. Finally he asks to talk to Monica. Monica wants to know the news. His report is condensed and to the point 1. Yamamoto is dead there was no foul play he died of a heart attack. 2. The business that Susana and Miss Yamamoto picked as new partners is legal and is run by Don Algarita. 3. Don Algarita is a rich fruits and vegetables national exporter and he happens to be Mr. Pastor’s brother. Big que the heck face from Monica

The end.

Thank you for your patience.

actually love the title you used. The recappers truly keep me coming back to this site
 

Oh, thank you! I think Angarita is right to dump this Delfina. Too bad, wish she'd turned out to be a nice replacement for Nidia. I loved Molo's profession of love, he is so sweet, he's the one I'd go for, I'm soft on musicians anyway.
 

Gracias Maricruz!! Especially for the 3 pies...I've heard that a lot and always thought I understood, but not really, so now I do for sure!! I'm excited for the rest to come!!

Thanks again for filling in for us!! We so appreciate it!!
 

Thank you all of you, you are so nice, I know we are not that many but, "entre menos burros mas olotes" which means because we are a small group there is so much more to share, and we get to know each other better. Thank you melinama for fixing my tag (again) sorry, it takes me a while to learn a new trick, but eventually I'll learn. I'm also soft in musicians. I love music I feel the music it moves me so much, sadly I can't sign or play an instrument :( but I digress, thank you again for all your nice comments. They mean a lot to me.
 

Dear Maricruz...well, add me to your fan club, I love all the extra cultural and linguistic info you give us that only a native speaker can provide.
I was confused at first about Nidia's comment when she looked at Juan's fuzzy photo of the wedding. She said something about him being "cuero" and I thought "does that mean lousy photographer" but then finally realized she meant..."hey he's CUTE but as a photographer he's the worst".
And although Delfina's betrayal was unexpected, I hope it's because the writers are clearing the way for Nidia and Angarita to finally end up together....surely you don't want her with that little pasty-legged Alirio??!!!
 

Maricruz I think I may have used that title myself once or twice. Sometimes after a recap the brain just shuts off.

I also love your recaps because you are able to bring that extra something special to the table. Your insight into the dichos has been a huge help to us. I also like it when you add some of your own!

THANK YOU for translating Juan's definition of "platonic". I was confused while watching it but your translation cleared it up. His definition is so funny I had to share it with my friends here at work.

I was surprised that Delfina was so easily fickle, but JudyB's theory makes perfect sense. Anga and Nidia simply must get together.

Thank you Maricruz, for filling in and also for your wonderful recap!
 

Maricruz, thanks for the wonderful recap! I love your imagery—for example, “Nidia and Marely are still walking the memory line.” I loved this line!

“In the party the Tweedles (Thanks Jeanne again for the name) are talking.” LOL, thanks, I can only take credit for calling them Tweedledum and Tweedledee the first time; Sylvia, I think, called them the Tweedles. She keeps improving on it! (And Sylvia or Kris, I think, put the Cheshire Cat into one of her recaps so we have Alice in Wonderland covered in this one.)

Delfina is fixin’ to get herself in trouble (to use one of my hubby’s old Southern phrases). Playing with two guys at any age is dangerous.

“Ed Note. I don’t understand Delfina, I thought she really liked Angarita, I know he can’t do the deed right now, but please lady, give him a chance to recover. I can tell she doesn’t know him well, Angarita is not somebody that can be messed with” Great points, Maricruz, and I totally agree with you. I would never want to be on Anga’s bad list.

“At this Angarita shows up at the door and yells “over my dead body” (At this rate, I think this will be a reality).” ROTFL! Yes, it will! He knows he’s not supposed to have any strong emotional upsets.

“Molo is walking Herlinda home, he is finally telling her how happy he is, how special this night was, because he danced with her, he was able to sign sign to her and now he is walking with her. Herlinda tells him that for her it was the opposite. This night was the worst of her life.” Stupid Herlinda! What the heck is wrong with this girl?? Here’s someone who adores her and she’s being ugly to him!

“They are showing their teeth and growling (not really, but I’m telling you that is what they reminded me of)” LOL! There’s more great imagery!

“Juan tells them to calm down, they are civilized people and they can talk things out (Yes Juanito, like when you “talked” to CL in the garage, when you found out that he was marrying Paula)” ROTFLL!!! Exactly!

“When Angarita and Delfina are finally alone, he tells her that their relationship is over. She doesn’t understand why. He tells her that he won’t forgive her for accepting somebody else’s attentions.” Looks like you were right, Maricruz, she shouldn’t have messed with Angarita’s mind.

“Nidia doesn’t remember anything of the relationship with Delirio, but since it sounds so good, she decides to give it a try. She wants Delirio to come back home” Boy, oh, boy is he lucky. I wondered if something would happen so she’d fall in love with him, and here it is.

“Fernando calls the company; he swaps sweets nothings with Marely” Cute!

Jeanne
 

I love that title, too. How many Friday nights I think that to myself!
