Wed 2-13 - Juan Q- (Finally)...The wet blanket drowns and finding each other again is such sweet sorrow
Like the devil, or the king of Rome, Juan waltzes in. He wonders what they are up to. Nid tells them nothing much, just talking about his friend with two faces, Don Anga and she gives him a look.. Juan makes a comment about Delfi having a big mouth, but he quickly moves of that and wonders what Paula has said to them.
Marely and Fer come in Casa Cachon to see a despondent Kike on the couch. Fer jokes that he is meditating .but he’s not in the mood for jokes. Mar asks if maybe he’s had another fight with Yadi, and he admits that’s it, and it was some sort of foolish thing. Mar kind of says a go figure as if that’s nothing unusual. Fer asks if he can help and Kike refuses but Fer tells Mar he’d like to stay a little to chat with Kike she says she had a great time and of course he should stay because Kike looks like he needs a friend.
The two begin their chat with Kike asking Fer to pour them some shots and maybe he can get it off his chest.
Back in Achi, Delfi tells Juan the story of Pau’s visit with her Mom. He asks her how Pau acted when she heard that he lived there. She recounts how Pau was really excited. He thought bubbles that his little doves has butterflies in her stomach just like he does, and if she only knew that maybe they are suffering form this same sickness together of incurable love. Delfi mentions Pau came with another lady whom Nidia recognizes immediately as her Aniushka!
Back at Casa Cachon Marely chats with Yadi. Yadi refuses to chat about the fight too and changes the subject to Mar’s date. She spills that they had a great time and guess who they ran into at the restaurant, CL with his ex!! They muse over him cheating on Pau with her. The same conversation is occuring downstairs only much more interesting because tequila in involved. Fer can’t believe Cl would put the horns on his wife with his ex. Kike says those people have no values, and continues on a moral philosophical soliloquy of how some pepole work really hard and try to do things right and other just take advantage and dance over the dead, and do what they want with no respect for anything. It’s very sad.
Next we see Juan all decked out in his alligator botas, bathed in soap, and somewhat matching paisley shirt strutting his way over to the hotel to go and find his palomita. His speed slows up as he starts to question half way there whether he should do this, because maybe it’s too late, and she’s sleeping already, and maybe he should wait, and maybe he shouldn’t go. We are then treated to a creative split screen as Pau wanders around the pool in her slinky robe, something I always do in public at a hotel, and he struggles with his doubt. I guess he ends up deciding against and going to the billard hall because we next see him greeting Molo there. He explains it’s late and suddenly all these things occured to him so he decided tomorrow will be a better day.
So it’s tomorrow and Pau and Ana show back up at Delfi’s and say they are going and just wanted to say goodbye because they can’t wait any more. Delfi wonders if they didn’t pass him on the street on his wayt to he boy’s school? Whoops. Pau says no,he’s back? What little boy? Delfi covers and says why the little boy saint of Atocha that’s what she meant. Pau then asks where the school is because they’ll go there to find him Delfi realizing that’s a bad idea asks them to come in to wait for him as that’s better and he won’t be long.
At school Juan is saying goodbye to Juanito and telling him today is a very important day for his father,because something special is going to happen. They bless each and Juanito is off to drool over his teacher for the next 6 hours. Juan tells himself how wonderful little Juan is and that he’s finally done it, like something good.
Mar comes down and sees Kike still on the couch. She wonders what’s still wrong with him and why the two of them fought.
Pau and Ana comment on how they are feeling when Nidia makes a grand entrance greeting Aniushka and Pau, telling how beautiful she looks. They wonder what she is doing here, and she makes up the story that when Juan left her house she knew he would be coming here, so she came. Nid thinks this is all so exciting like a telenovela, where they pass each other and pass each other, but when they meet again there will be an inferno!! Nid encourages the ladies to enjoy the finest of Mexican spirits, despite the hour because it’s already four in Rome anyway!!
Juan stops by the hotel to be told the gals left, but he was assured that his paloma is still registered. Phew!! Here wonders now where they could be, maybe the office.
Meanwhile the girls, slugging down tequila, are wondering how long Juan will take. Nid assures Pau that he won’t be long, and that he won’t escape this time. Pau awakes from her acting stupor and seriously yells at Nid that she made her come all the way out to this pueblo so tell her what the hell is going on. Nid is impactada!
She yells again that when she came looking for Juan he was there in her house, wasn’t he!! Nid sheepishly nods yes. Pau asks to speak alone with her. Ana agrees, but Delfi says this is good gossip. Pau thinks this was a trick. Nid promises to tell if she won’t tell Juan. Pau wants to know why she told her to come all the way here if he was in Mexico. Nid replies that this place is more romantic than Mexico, and that’s what Juan wants to get back together. Pau wants to confirm this is not another lie. Nid says no, that if Pau can be sure of how much she loves him, they could have a second chance and a beautiful life together.
Kike doesn’t want to tell Mar what happened between them. He says it’s just things that she does that bother him, you know, like lying and deceiving. Mar asks if she’s putting the horns in him, i.e. cheating on him, and he says no way, they are a couple still. She says then what? He says he can’t be the one to tell her, so she better get it from her sister.
Delirio is up to tricks again trying to contact someone in Achichipico to find out where his wife is. He does learn that he cousin is there, but they have no phone at the house. You know, we take those things so for granted, but you’d be surprised how many households there really don’t have them. Especially in the pueblitos. He asks the cashier of the phone center to leave a message if she happens to see Delfina.
Juan gets to the office to find Molo hasn’t seen Pau. Juan gets ready to run off to the house to find her, but Molo advises him that he should wait for her to come to him. Surely she will, so Juan agrees and sits to try and calm himself.
Back at Delfi’s Pau is pacing back and forth in front of the camera. This was really funny when I was fastforwarding or rewinding, the red blur. Nid comments how nervous Pau is to see Juan. Anyway, Nid wants to know a little gossip, how did Pau escape from her husband CL? Delfi wants to know who that is and gets a loud impactada voice when she finds out that Pau is married.
Cl and Moni take their various turns warning Fer and Marely not to jump to any conclusions about what they saw at the restaurant, it was nothing, wink wink. Both agree that they won’t remark anything about it. I bet they will though!!
Pau says she’s going on a walk because she can’t just sit there. Ana wants to go but Pau says no stay. Ana worries that if she stays, she’s going to get really drunk at this rate and she wants to be sober to help her daughter through the biggest decision in her life! Next thing you know, Pau walks in to the office where Juan is also beside himself with anticipation. Palomita music plays....
As predicted back at Delfi’s the ladies indeed got themselves drunk!! Ana tells Nid to stop drinking, but she says she’s on vacation. They chat about Juan and Pau and how moral he is and that he would never do anything bad to Pau. They laugh and throw back more tequilitas. Samuel must be turning in his grave right about now.
Molo quickly exits the office. Pau says they finally found each other. Juan says, yeah it was like a movie and cat and mouse game. She says she dreamed of this moment and that it whe would happen exactly this way. They stare at each other for a musical interlude. He finally asks what she’s doing in his territory. She says I was looking for you. He says why. She says just to see him. He says why, so she can make a fool out of him again? She says does he really think that she would come all that way just to play him for a fool? Juan says he doesn’t understand then, and he wants to hear her explanation. She says she came to see him and that’s all there is. He asks and then what, is this is another one of her games and she says no, he’s the one playing games. This pisses him off and rightly so. What does she think that he’s just going fall right into her arms again just by her showing up? Spoiled little girl. You tell her Juan, don’t kiss her nachas!! He tells her, oh now it’s him playing games when someone else is moving the pieces. She wants to know why he’s so aggressive. He says because he doesn’t understand her, that it was work for her to come here and she surely hid it from her husband to come here, and only to tell him she just wanted to see him? He asks if she came just to make him crazy or break his heart more? She says she didn’t know her presence would disturb him so much, he yells that yes because she’s undoing everything he’s worked so hard to put in place. She’s sorry, she guesses she shouldn’t have come. This angers him more and he makes fun that now she’s offended. He says whatever but he’s the offended one. She says maybe she was wrong to come and should leave. He says fine go then. Putting the feet up on the desk is defintiely a nice touch. She stares at him for a while in disbelief like her 100th doll had been taken away from her and given to a little girl who had none.
At the market Anga wants to know why Kike arrived late. He says family problems. Turns out it’s sort of with his wife and with Nid. Anga wants to know what wonder she’s managed to do now. Kike is about to spill the beans when Pastor comes up announcing great news. Anga wants to know what he’s been smokin’. Pastor says he’s found a buyer for all the plaintains they can get and even the apples and more. Cynic Anga wonders what more is behind this. Turns out it’s a Farell person and more clients that could launch the business sky high. Anga thinks maybe he’s robbing clients from Farell, but he says alls fair in business and war. Well, sort of that’s how it goes isn’t it?
Pau says he hasn’t changed, he’s still the same...Juan finishes her sentence, ordinary common and undeducated person? Yes, that’s him, and she’s still the same arrogant, spoiled, pretentious person as always doing what she wants with whomever whenever and use that. She says what’s sadder in his immaturity and that she thought that maybe, well she can’t believe she even thought it. She says goodbye. He says buh-bye, that it goes well for her. Once she’s left he tells himself just two seconds ago he was regretful down to his bones that he had yelled at her so harshly and now look, he’s gon e and done it again. He wonders what is his problem.
Pau passes Molo and Herli chatting about there reunion muttering to herself how stupid that she came, obviously angry, and Herli remarks it’s doubtful they were kissing each other. Molo goes in to see what happened and Juan doesn’t want to talk about it except that he’s angry and just wants to get to work.
Pau rushes into Delfi’s where Ana and Nid are discussing Ana’s future painting expositions still drunker, and says they have to go. Both Ana and Nid are like que the hell!
Pau says you lied and Juan has no intention of getting back with me. Nid tells her not to rush to conclusions and she says they are going now and she pulls away Ana. Delfi says I gues this isn’t like a telenovela, but Nid says well, they just changed the end.
At the market Pastor continues explaining his idea to Anga. Anga says he’s happy with his business and doesn’t need any more so why would he go looking for problems. They discuss this much further, Pastor suggesting that Farell will put his brand name to this and that will help his sales. Anga is not an easy sell, but he’s coming around.
At Farell Moni and CL are discussing how they’ve lost 3 more clients. Moni thinks maybe they should hire him back before the trend continues because Anga is well respected. CL says but he’s not Farell. The phone rings and Pau tells CL she’s coming back tonight. He very cooly talks with her and hangs up. Moni was surprised it was her because of the indifferent way he talked to her.
Juan picks up Juanito from school, visibly out of sorts and Jito wonders what’s up, wasn’t today supposed to be important? Juan answers that sometimes things don’t turn out the way we want. Jito says when he’s sad he hugs something he cares a lot about and he gives Juan a giant hug. Juan comments to himself how this child seems to know exactly what is really important.
Pau wants to know if Ana wants something to eat and she with ice on her head, [I’m thinking that would make it hurt more] says she doesn’t feel well and doesn’t want to travel.
Mare tells Fer she thinks Kike is acting really weird and she’s afraid something is up at her house. Just then Moni asks her to come into her office. She wants to know if Mar knows that Juan and Pau are together.
Pau is sorry she got her Mom into this whole trip. They won’t leave until tomorrow. Nid calls from the reception and confirms that they won’t leave until tomorrow because Ana doesn’t feel well, the room is spinning. I thougt it was great how she let go for a little while. Maybe that wet blanket just needs to dry out in the fresh rural air!!
I got hung up with a few things tonight and I haven't been able to see the show. I'll take it with me though, and try to start on it tomorrow (thurs) before the next episode. From the previews, I can imagine this was a hot encuentro....you know more than I right now!! Maybe it was much ado about nothing? Thanks for waiting....
Happy Valentines Day!!

>No rush, K....take care of yourself. Sounds like life has been crazy the last week or so. Sending you lots of good thoughts and good vibes...and looking forward to reading your special take on things whenever it arrives.
Oh...and Happy Valentines Day.
Happy Valentine's Day y'all. Wheeeeee...just another excuse to eat chocolate!
Juan has a backbone after all, even to his own surprise, and Paula's mask slips and we see the ugly witch peek out. It'll be fun to discuss it after your proper diagnosis as the lead surgeon on this episode, wheeee!
Special valentine hugs from me, Willa and her buddy Cisco, we're all here wishing good things for your day.
Happy Valentine's Day, all!
Jeanne
Wouldn't have had this pleasure without your cue to the website and info. Thanks so much.
Nice one about Pau having her 100th doll taken away. Most excellent analogy. She's such a spoiled thing.
Dreaded Keel Hauler, thank you very much for doing this episode. You really went above and beyond (as you often do) and this was so worth it.
