Juan Q, Monday Feb 4, Where we find out Juan has changed, but Nidia hasn't

Once more, I have to apologize profusely for being so late. Finally I was able to finish it and here it is. Since this is my last recaps on Mondays I’ll just say it was very rewarding to do this, I’ll still lurk around, comment and whenever needed I’ll substitute.
Thank you one more time for your patience.

Nidia is talking to Ana. She tries to tell her about the money and how she stole it from her, but she can’t. She ends up making up a story about how she wants to help Ana put a gallery. Ana is not sure it is such a good idea; she doesn’t want to give Nidia trouble. Nidia says she doesn’t need Ana to get into trouble, she says, she can do that by herself (I agree).

At Farrell Pastor enters the main lobby, where everybody is just hanging out. When they see him coming they welcome him with applause. He gives a little speech thanking everybody for believing in him; he gets some more applause from his coworkers. He ends his speech with a yell of “Pastor es inocente, Pastor es inocente, Pastor es inocente” (very funny)

Paula is at her house, having a little flash back. She remember how Juan asked if she called only to assure herself that Juan still loved her and did whatever she wanted. She says aloud “yes Juan, I want to know if you still love me”. In the same house, but in the kitchen Consuelo is talking to Monica; she is telling her that Paula and CL already had their first argument and it was because of the flowers. Consuelo tells her it was a good idea to send those flowers. Monica denies sending flowers; she wants to know who sent the flowers. Consuelo tells her that the flowers came with a card and the card said that Juan Dominguez sent them. Monica is pleasantly surprised. Right then, Paula comes out of the room and Consuelo ends the conversation. She apologizes for using the phone to make a personal call. Paula is getting ready to leave, and tells her not to worry about it. She asks Consuelo to please look after CL while she is gone. She says she’ll be back later.

At Farrell Pastor is now in Monica’s office. He is still on cloud nine, and he keeps on talking about his welcome and how everybody was so happy for having him back. Monica has no patience for him. She wants to know if he has talked to Angarita. Pastor says that to convince Algarita you have to go slowly “pian pianito”. Moni retorts that if she would have done the same, he (Pastor) would still be in prison. Pastor says that he understands, and that he’ll have results soon.

Nidia is still trying to convince Ana to accept her offer to open a Gallery, Ana likes what she hears, however she is still not sure. Nidia lays it thick. She calls Ana a Michael Angela, a Leonarda, a Picassa. She finally accepts.
At Farrel Marely is leaving the office. Fernando tells her to wait for him; he just has to finish some reports and can take her home. She declines saying that she wants to be home early. Yvonne is watching all of this.

Juan and Kike are on their way to the Cachon residence, Kike is telling Juan all about his daughter. Juan’s mind wanders and of course he is thinking about his Palomita and wondering how she reacted to the flowers he sent.

Paula is talking to Ana. She is telling her about the flowers. (Ed Note. I think that the writers were a little tired, because the next dialogue was repeated verbatim 3 times by different people. Let’s count it together) One:
Ana –Juan wouldn’t do something like that
Paula –No, I didn’t think so … how weird no?
Ana –Was the card sign?
Paula –No, the flowers were bought by phone
Ana –Frankly, I don’t believe the flowers were sent by Juan, he was always very respectful
Paula—But he has changed so much…
Ana –I think this is a very bad joke. There are a lot of people that know what has happened between you. They could be trying to cause trouble.
Paula –There is only one way to find out, I’ll call the flower shop

Monica is talking to Laura (Two)

Monica –I still can’t believe it, Juan wouldn’t do something like that
Laura –Was the card sign?
Monica –No, the flowers were bought by phone
Laura –It doesn’t sound logic.
Monica –I don’t know, people change.
Laura –I think this is a very bad joke. There are a lot of people that know what has happened between them
Monica –There is only one way to find out, I’ll call the flower shop

Kike and Juan arrive to the Cachon residence. Nidia is impactada when she sees Juan. She says that she doesn’t remember Juan, maybe if she touches him? She approaches Juan and starts touching him all over. She says she is remembering now, Juan thought bubbles that Nidia hasn’t change at all and that coming back to the Cachon residence has moved him very deeply.

Pastor goes to visit CL; he brought him a basket of fruit and wine. Pastor says that he heard that the surgery was a total success. CL is not happy to been reminded of his operation and cuts to the chase. He says he wants to talk about pending businesses. Pastor says that the pending businesses are being taken care of by everybody in the office. CL says that is not the kind of pending business he is talking about. He is talking about something, or better said someone, someone that was supposed to stay in the past. Pastor guesses he is talking about Juan, and gets very excited. CL tells him to calm down
Pastor wants to know if Juan is back. CL says that he doesn’t know.

At the Cachon residence, Juan has Nidia Micaela in his arms and is saying how beautiful she is. He says that she looks like her mom. Kike pipes in that the baby has his eyes. Juan says yes, the white part of the eyes is the same. Everybody laughs and Kike gets upset. He takes the baby upstairs for her nap. Yadi goes with him. Nidia says that “para variar” just for a change; Kike “esta que no lo calienta ni el sol” is very touchy (lit. not even the sun heats him up,) The sleazy music sounds and Nidia realizes they are alone. She uses this opportunity to throw herself into Juan’s arms. Juan moves out of the way and starts talking about the baby. Nidia doesn’t want to talk about the baby; she wants to talk about them. Just then


Juan is saved by the bell; Marely arrives home and is very happy to see Juan. Juan gives her a big bear hug. Nidia is not happy about it.
Later Nidia asks Kike if Marely and Juan were an item. Kike says that Juan only loves Paula.
Marely and Juan are talking in Nidia’s office. Marely goes directly to the point. Are you here because you want to see paula? Juan tries to deny this, but Marely tells him that she knows him very well. Juan thought bubbles that in the time that Nidia would take to undress your body, Marely could undress your soul.

Fernando is still at the office. Yvonne approaches and tries to make him invite her to dinner or the movies. Fernando says that he’ll never go out with her again. Yvonne says that as soon as Juan comes back, Marely is going to dump him and then he’ll try to go back to Yvonne, but she won’t take him. Fernando says that that’s never going to happen.

At CL House Pastor and CL told pastor all about the flowers (Three)
Pastor –Juan wouldn’t do something like that
CL –No, I didn’t think so
Pastor –Was the card sign?
CL –No, the flowers were bought by phone; Frankly, I don’t believe the flowers were sent by Juan, he used to respect me
Pastor –but, people change
CL –I think this is a very bad joke. There are a lot of people that know what has happened between us. There is only one way to find out
Pastor –Calling the flower shop

At the Cachon residence, everybody is eating Juan is sitting next to Marely. They are talking about Delirio. Nidia says that she has been there to see him twice. Kike says that he feels sorry for him. Right then Fernando arrives. Juan is very happy to see him. Juan wants to know if Fernando came to see Nidia. Fernando says no, that he came to see Marely since she is his girlfriend. Juan asks Marely why she didn’t tell him before. Marely says because it is not true. Impacatdo face from Fernando, he can’t believe it. He is all upset and almost runs out of the house. Juan tries to stop him. He catches up with him and tells him that he is sorry. Fernando tells Juan that everything is his fault, why did he come back? Marely was fine until he came back. Doesn’t Juan understand that Paula doesn’t love him? Juan is impactado and tries to defend himself, but Fernando doesn’t let him. He (Fernando) gets in his car and leaves. Kike comes out and tells Juan not to worry, they’ll talk to Fernando tomorrow, by then he will be feeling better. They both enter the house.

Later Marely calls Fernando to apologize. She says she is sorry and that she never considered herself Fernando’s girlfriend. Fernando says that they went out on dates and they kissed what does she calls that. Marely says they were two friends trying to find out if they were compatible. Fernando says that that is bull manure (not really, but I know that’s what he was thinking). He says that Marely is saying that they are not together because she wants to be available for Juan. Marely says no, that is not true. I’m sorry all of this happened, but I never lied to you. She says she is sorry one more time and hangs up.

In another room Juan is thinking about his Palomita, he has his eyes closed and doesn’t see Nidia entering the room and approaching the bed. She throws herself on top of him. Juan tries to stop her, but Nidia won’t stop. Juan finally agrees with one condition Nidia needs to close her eyes. She does, Juan says ready? She says yes. Juan says here I come. The End

Dear Maricruz, I'm Baaaaackkkk!
Thank you very much for your wonderful recap. As always you have such a profound command of the language, we have all been very lucky to have your recaps and I hope we will continue to have your comments and valuable insights into the language and culture. I arrived home in a light snow fall in Albuquerque and cannot believe how cold it feels after a blissful month in Mexico's warm winter sun. I got home in time to see the last 15 minutes of this episode so I am so glad to have your recap to help me catch up. I will be ready to roll next Monday night. I hope your computer installation is going smoothly by now and you can get a well deserved rest. I know I speak for all the Juan fans when I thank you so much for all the super recaps you have been cranking out for us.
 

Cheryl, I'm so glad you are back, I love doing the recaps, but sometimes life interferes. The accounting system transition is going smoothly; the only problem is that I was sick last week. I told them to train some body else, but nobody listens to me, now I’m back to a lot of work, anyway, thank you for asking. Here by I officially turn your spot back to you. If you ever need somebody to sub I’m just a click away
 

Maricruz...thanks for all your hard work under pressure. We are so blessed by your knowledge of the language and culture. And I was happy to learn what "no lo calienta ni el sol" meant. I love the way different languages use such difference visualizations to express a thought.
 

Thanks, Maricruz!
 

Ah, Maricruz, you never need to apologize. Your recaps are awesome! We count on you lurking and posting, amiga. Your title is perfect, too, and I really appreciate the vocabulary. I agree totally with CherylNM. Thanks!

So Nidia is going to help Ana establish a gallery to resolve her guilt. Huh. We’ll see how that works.

“Nidia says she doesn’t need Ana to get into trouble, she says, she can do that by herself (I agree).” ROTFL! You are SO right!!! Nidia is a pile of trouble all by herself.

““Pastor es inocente, Pastor es inocente, Pastor es inocente” (very funny)” Nothing like cheerleading for one’s own innocence, I always say. He is funny, for sure.

“(Ed Note. I think that the writers were a little tired, because the next dialogue was repeated verbatim 3 times by different people. Let’s count it together)” ROTFLLLLL!!! I thought something very similar, Maricruz! They must be on the writer’s strike in sympathy with Hollywood.

“Kike pipes in that the baby has his eyes. Juan says yes, the white part of the eyes is the same.” I was irritated with Juan about this. He didn’t need to insult his friend this way.

I LOVED how you quoted the dialogue of the three conversations about how to find out who sent the flowers! Fabulous!

“Fernando says that they went out on dates and they kissed what does she calls that. Marely says they were two friends trying to find out if they were compatible. Fernando says that that is bull manure (not really, but I know that’s what he was thinking).” ROTFL!!!!! Yep!

Maricruz, thank you for another fantastic, and I hope not your last, recap. I completely missed the translation of Juan saying in the time it took Nidia to undress the body Marely could undress your soul. That's actually very sweet and romantic.

Please check in with us, we very much need your expertise with the dialogue on this show.

I loved when Pastor announced his innocence. Wasn't Moni a sourpuss? She seemed irked that the rest of the company was clapping for his return.

Thanks so much for filling in for Cheryl. You rock!!
 

Maricruz, so glad that you ahve joined us for this regular but brief time. We really appreciate your insight and input and you have a great sense of humor...I loved the counting three times witer's bored thing. Hysterical observation. I'm happy to know that you will not be far and will definitely keep you in mind for potential subs. Thanks again for your efforts!!!
 

I still have to go back to last week, but I'll get there eventually so keep checkign if you are interested, or maybe I'll just put them here after I read...
 

PS...nuice to see Willa, and well you too of course CHeryl back around these parts. Such adorable animal faces really do cheer me!!
