Guapos 02-26-2008 "Oh Where Oh Where Can My Grandkid be?"

This is a FYI, I heard a hispanic guy on NPR today talking about the elections and he used the term
“Te Quiero” and “Te Amo” to explain it. He said non-Spanish speakers get confused. He is right but once he explained it, it made perfect sense. The term “Te Quiero”, while it means I love you. Querer condition can be a transitory condition, like Quieres Comida? You want food? Meaning I love you now, or I want you now. The other is a deeper I love you for life, it won’t change. Seems like I should have remembered that, I always just remember the root thing like the Soy or Yo, I just read them all the same. Anyway he said he believes the love both sides are showing the hispanic voter is the “Te Quiero” kind. This is good to know in case you are ever in the Rodeo Bar and some guy or for you guys some lady; says Te Quiero, meaning things may change in the light of day and lack of love inducing alcohol.

We begin with Damien giving Consti the stink eye and Consti wondering why? Damien has been trying to get the 411 on the lil’ usurper that Consti has hired to be door washer boy or whatever. Consti doesn’t have time for Damien. Consti is annoyed that Damien is trying to engage him conversation not relating to Damien trying to squeeze some dinero out of Consti, or some elaborate plan to screw his own sister over for dinero. Really Damien is a rather boring conversationalist. Damien leaves, convinced that Consti is clueless to he paternity of said “Bastard”.

Meanwhile as Damien slithers off, young lawyer hawtie (I don’t know his name…the one Val was flirting with), comes in. He asks Damien a few questions about family and such. He asks Damien some pointed questions. Yes, Al was conceived before marriage, but “Que the Hell”, Consti did the right thing and married Luci. Does he have any other Bastards floating around. Consti gives that half hearted “Ah not that I know of”. What about Amantes? “Another Ah….”. Consti passes the test. Really he got about a C-; but in today’s political world, he hasn’t been caught in an airport in drag so all’s good. So Consti is to go on a little overnight trip to meet the governor and other political biggies. The guy leaves and tells Consti, see ya later at the airport. It is a good thing he left cause Consti is getting a big ego swell and there is scarce enough room in the office for Consti.

Damien has gone to see Andrea who is literally about to pass a golden brick over the thought that “real” son has appeared. He convinces her that Consti has no idea about the Hijo, now they must plan a defense.

Karla is up in Hugo’s room saying isn’t it a bit weird that you painted Mili’s head on the body of the painting of your dead girlfriend. Yeah Hugo, I think it is a bit strange also. Hugo doesn’t want to talk about it. Karla says Mili is still messing around with Al. Mili comes in and Hugo tells Karla to leave. Mili yells at Hugo for wearing the bearded disguise and he yells at Mili for believing Al. Hugo locks Mili in the his room, but Al comes in and Hugo starts yelling at Al about lies and so on. Al & Mili leave.

Damien corners young Claudio (the pretend Bastard), he quizzes him about the necklace and threatens to call the police, the kid confesses that he stole it.

Al tells Mili to stay away from Hugo cause Hugo is BSC. She thinks that he is just sad. On a scale of sadness Hugo is probably a 7, but on a scale of BSC he is a 10. BSC outweighs sad.

Damien passes the 411 on to Claudio, telling him that he is going to set him up as the missing grandson. The kid is all about it. They will weasel big bucks out of the ol lady and the kid will get 20%. Oh Damien this is such a surprise.

Lawyer guy and the other guy that started this whole political thing are having coffee. Egads, seems this is all just a ploy to control Consti, set him up and make him take the fall for something. Looks like whatever it is may land Const in jail. As if being a kid denying, wife torturing giant AssHat isn’t criminal enough.

Hugo goes to see Andrea, Mili & Al are meeting in secret. Hugo is such a little snitch and we get to see the always pissed Andrea, even more pissed and what’s worse we are forced to endure this as she wears a 1970’s polyester red pantsuit. One fashion zombie that should have stayed dead.

Mili & Granny are chatting it up, when who knocks at the door, but Damien. Guess what, I found your grandkid. Luci listens at the door.

Luci rushes in and tells Damien to shut the hell up. “Where oh where can my Grandbaby be?”, Regina is looking like she could stroke out at any moment. Damien not used to anyone paying attention to him is basking in the glory.

Now over to Al bedroom, Andrea slips in wearing the Polyester Pantsuit, stayin alive, staying alive. She tries to pull the remember the hawt times in my apartment, remember that time I actually sucked not one, but two golfballs through that garden hose, not to mention the chrome from that bumper. Al is looking so Benjamin as Mrs. Robinsona continues trying to seduce him. Sorry, but it ain’t happening. She just plays it off.

Back in the bedroom of screaming. Regina continues with “ Where oh Where”, Regina screams that Prince Al ain’t about to be usurped by some lil bastard. Now Mili joins in with the screaming. Luci has no right to speak that way about some poor kid, we are like one phone call to Miami from having Cristina do an entire show devoted to the Bastards of Consti, the literal Bastard of Consti vs the literal Bastard of some French guy, but last got the last name of Consti. Meanwhile Regina, continues whimpering, “Oh where oh where can my grandkid be?” Finally Damien drags Luci out.

Damien, tells the story so good it is like he believes it himself. How can Luci deny a poor old lady. Easy, Luci hasn’t suffered all these years for nothing, years she has forced herself to swill down vats of booze. Not just to see it all be handed to that bastard of a servant. Luci, really this isn’t your best side.

Bobby arrives and Val is talking about Hello Kitty cellphones and spring break in Cabo with her model friends. I’m sure these chicks are up and coming female versions of Damien, cause there is no other reason they would hang with Val the Vapid. They are probably just hanging out til they can move on to being full fledged Amantes, which according to TeleNovelas is the career of choice for females who are not very wealthy and weren’t dumped off on the Catholic Church as orphans. Anyway, Bobby the Impotent comes in and he might as well have a collar with a long chain, cause Val jerks it and gets him to say he will that the three Amigas to “The Rodeo”. Of course the girls think this will be great fun, hanging out at the Naco bar.

Now Mili has tracked Damien down. Spill it, give up the info on the grandson. Yeah for a kiss, Damien says. Damien is not put off by Mili swallowing mouth full of bile that just rose up. They argue and now Gloves comes in. What missing kid? Hey that is my Nephew/Niece whatever. Damien says he will speak to Granny only.

Damien promises he will bring the kid to see Granny tomorrow. Gloves and Mili are listening at the door. Damien leaves and Granny swears Gloves and Mili to secrecy. Not a word can be spoken til Granny makes certain of the kid.

The much anticipated NEXT day.

Hugo is out by the pool, he asks Al if Al was making out with his dead girlfriend, that is Hugo’s dead girlfriend, before she was expired. Bobby comes up and offers the boys a beer. Hugo says no and Al returns to the house.

Damien presents the kid to Granny, she sees the necklace and she is overwhelmed. She makes him call her Grandma and Damien stands behind Granny giving signals to the kid to hug Granny. He leaves the kid to talk to Granny. The kid brings up the fact that rent is due and Granny is gonna give him $600.00 to catch up the rent.

Val comes out and questions Bobby about the Rodeo. Rocky comes up and tells Bobby to back off. Now comes the Naco humor, Bobby falls asleep dreams he is dancing with Val, she kisses him, Rocky comes up dressed like a boxer, knocks Bobby out and dances off with Val. Bobby wakes up sees Rocky painting the fence and tells him to stay out of Bobby’s dreams. Really I can scarcely type this as I am having trouble seeing due to the tears of hilarity.

Regina goes to talk to Luci. Regina says she wants her grandson to live at the house. Luci is muy impacted. Egads, the vermin living with her fine family. Regina says she isn’t going to change her mind. Blood is blood and alas Al isn’t blood so don’t push it beeyotch.

Next we see fake Grandkid, being introduced to the kitchen help.
In the living room, Andrea, Val, Granny, Crazy Ass Hugo, Al are waiting for Const. Padre arrives from the church and now here comes Consti. Granny says she has a great surprise, the missing kid.
Consti looks like he is going to puke.
Here comes Mili dragging fake Grandkid (the necklace is no where in sight).
Aren’t you going to give your kid a hug?
Consti just smiles that puke sick smile. Yeah
He hugs Mili, “Hija”.
Mili’s eyes bug out in a “Have you lost your ever lovin mind?” look.


Well that’s all folks…
Somehow I’m just feeling that the truth will not come out tomorrow…
I feel better knowing Padre Miguel of St. Deception will be more than happy to muddy the “Holy Water” of Truth. I only hope Luci will join the fray, cause this is definitely something to drink to.

thanks beckster for another well-written recap.

i especially loved to laugh at the end of this episode - first with Consti's look as Granny announces finding his long-lost kid - then with Granny and the rest of the clan and the fake grandkid when Consti hugs Mili.

J.R. :)
 

Another hilarious recap, Beckster! Loved it!

Granny has been a sweet, sympathetic character up until now that she’s saying Al isn’t a real-for-real grandson like the missing nieto. Presumably she knew Al and loved him all through his growing up into a fine fellow who is good and loving to her, but somehow that doesn’t trump Blood in her book.

I missed the show but your "stayin' alive, stayin' alive" riff and the garden hose image made my day.
There is only ONE Beckster.
 

Ha Ha Beckster, everything was so funny.
I loved Damien's signals to the fake grandson to smile and hug.

Anyone catch this at the end/avances? Granny said give "her" a hug (la), just before introducing Consti to the grandson. Was that an error in transcription, as Granny still thinks it's the boy. I rewound this three times to check.

After all our discussions recently of male v. female pronouns, I was baffled.
 

Beckster: Hilarious as usual. Yes, this will not be resolved tonight, this week or in many weeks. There is a long painful row to hoe.

Anyway, after all the lies, deceptions, and other bad things Damien has done, how could anyone, let alone granny, believe anything he says or does. His sister, maybe, yes, because she's so crazy anyway. They might as well lock up abue when they lock her up, because granny is now operating under diminished capacity. She's blinded by lies and the desire to believe, so she believes anything. That's nutty.

Yes, this episode was a fashion disaster. I noticed the shorts on Al and Bobby. Al's were retro plaid and Bobby's were dark with some kind of stripe that made him look as close to the ground as a man could get without lying down. During the pool scene Al looked like he was trying to hide from the camera and conceal his lower half, and he's just not the type of guy to do that.

I've gotten into this telenovia lately. I really like Mili. She is so spunky! But I could have done without tarantula scene last week. Simply put: hate spiders!.
 

Speaking of fashion disaster: I meant to comment last week on Al's weird shirt--the one with blue strips and a bunch of embroidered red roses on one side. What was up with that? It seems to be a reject from the Acorralada wardrobe department.
 

Beckster, amo tu humor :)

That poor actress who plays Andrea, she's going to be stuck with that expression on her face for life :)

Hm, Rocky showing up in Bobby's dreams? Maybe they should both give up on Val and stop denying their luuuuurve.

I think Abuela gets away with the feminine pronoun because she's saying she found "la criatura" (the baby) that Constancio donated sperm for.
 

Thank you, 5ft. There's nothing like an unclear antecedent to muck things up.
 

The hawt lawyer is Sergio and I was surprised to see him with the blackmailer. Yep Connie has troubles a coming.

I don't think Regina was dissing Al but who wouldn't want to find a long missing member of the family. It doesn't mean she cares less she just has room for others unlike Luci the Lush.

Connie looked like he was going to the gallows when he walked in and heard the missing grandchild had been found but he gets that different look on his face when he hugged Mili. The big problem now is that granny will tell him no it is thug boy. The family will swoon away. Connie will know it is wrong but now he can't say anything since he knew before and kept it a secret. For all his faults he won't want to hurt his mother but he won't be fooled. I suspect he will enlist the help of the Padre to keep the secret for his mother's sake. As always when given two choices one that is easy and one that takes courage. Connie the cojonesless wonder will choose the easy way.

Obviously the truth won't come out tonight since the previews showed Luci wanting Mili to steal Al away from the skank which she certainly wouldn't do if the whole story were out since she would still be protecting Al. Have to admit I'm just cruel enough to relish seeing the look on Snobby Spice's face tonight - another brother and God help us all - a naco.

I'm not giving away anything but I think it will take a long time to get to the truth. Yesterday i saw a poll on esmas which led me to believe that as far ahead of us as they are in Mexico Al still doesn't know the truth.
 

¡Diós mío! Finalmente, the show is getting muy intersante.
When Constancio embraced Miligro I fue muy hysterical!
I have been watching las novelas for a couple of years (¡Qué lástima!) lagrimas por me mente. No kidding, I find them very helpful with or without los captiones.
Me cae bien sus recaps!
This is the first time I have responded.
Just want to thank all the recapers for their devotion and dedication. You folks are just like me, verdad!
¡Gracias!
 

Welcome Emily!
It's fun to have your input - keep those comments coming! there was another new commenter the other day - welcome to her too!
- maggie
 

I agree, Decie. I am not watching spoilers, but I think the embrace of Mili is a false alarm. Granny will reveal that it's naco boy.
 

I think Alejandro's shorts were a Burberry plaid, and would be considered chic in his circle. As a character, I think he has turned out to be likeable. The only problem I have with his character (or the writers) is that people are always talking over him and he never has a chance to explain what he really is feeling or thinking --such as with Hugo and the disucssion of whether or not there was something between him and Carmen, or when he keeps trying to break off with Andrea and she doesn't let him get a word in edgewise. I could see Bobby being that kind of character, but not Alex.

I think everyone's right. If we find out about Mili, what happens for the rest of the show.I think Mili and Connie actually look alike --especially in the part before the actual show starts and she is dressed up and walking up to people. They have the same shape of face and coloring.

Thanks Beckster for a funny recap.
 

Thanks for the great recap....OMG the golf ball comment had me in tears. Just too funny!!!

I can't wait to see Val's reaction when the Naco is "revealed" to be her brother. I hope the ruse keeps up for awhile just so she can suffer.

I too am liking Al's character now, but am still a little bothered about how he turned on a dime in the past. They really could have done more to establish the relationship between him and Mili more, and without all the cruel pranks on his part. Oh well, he's Luci's son after all, I guess he comes about the dime-turning through genetics.

I don't think abue was making a dis on Al so much as reminding Luci that all she's got against the Naco is really that he's Connie's bastard, but there's the whole pot calling the kettle thing. Luci needs a reality check.

Question, did Mili and the rest of the servants know that Connie's bastard was also Gloves' nephew/niece? Or was that brand spanking new info to them last night (if so, I would have expected more of a reaction, but I don't recall that being revealed to them before).
 

Beckster, you still crack me up! Unfortunately I don't get to read the Tuesday recaps until very late on Wednesday because of my spanish class, but I just had to say thanks, even if is is muy tarde!

I too was disappointed with Regina's comment about Alejandro not being her real grandson. But she is very affectionate with him.
