Yo Amo a Juan, Tuesday, 2/5/08: Juan is back in town, but don't tell!

We start with Nidia lunging at Juan, and then agreeing to close her eyes. He scoops her up, carries her out of his bedroom, and locks the bedroom door behind him.

It is morning and Marely is getting ready for work. Juan knocks on the door and apologizes for the scene with Fern last night. Marely is the most beautiful woman. He's sorry things didn't work out between them and gives her a hug. She pulls away and leaves for work.

Kike, at breakfast with his bib, is worried that Yadi will forget him when she starts her studies. Of course she won't!

Delirio and his esteemed partner in crime are in their khaki prison duds, talking to the lawyer. Whey are they in jail, when Don Pastor is free? The lawyer tells them he can't do anything for them and takes off.

Kike and Juan are driving in the truck and Kike remarks that Juan has really made something of himself. Juan more humble. Kike starts talking about the mother-in-law and Juan reflects on his previous close encounters with Nidia.

Yadi comes down the stairs and tells her Mom all the baby's stuff is ready. Nidia is lusting over photos in her wedding album. The phone rings and Yadi picks up to greet Delirio, calling from jail. Nidia gets her to tell Del that she's already left. Del tells Yadi not to even bother telling his dear Nidia that he called. His fellow prisoners wait for the phone as he goes on about the saintly Nidia.

In the prison yard, Delirio continues his sob story. Most of the guys in the yard look a lot happier than he is. Delirio whines, hugs his nervous friend and starts to lean into him. The friend turns to see some prisoners mock them and whistle. Delirio continues with his drama and his friend tries to pull him away from the audience. Words are exchanged with nearby prisoners and Delirio lunges at the largest prisoner there before his friend pulls him away.

Paula steps into the flower shop to investigate the true source of the flowers from Juan. Behind her, Monica is also venturing into the shop and they bump into each other. What a coincidence! Monica is there for a friend's birthday... Paula is there for her mom... Such an orginal gift!

Delirio and has friend are conspiring about how to escape. The friend has a a plan, they'll escape via the trash. Delirio yells, The trash!?! The friend shushes him and they plan.

Pastor is telling his bro Angarita that if he ever needs help with his business, he should turn to Farrell Industries. They have experience and know how to deal with overseas customers. Angarita doesn't need anyone's help, what he needs is capital. That's what Pastor says he's talking about! Angarita wants to know why Pastor is pushing Farrell. He wants the truth from Pastor and says he has ways of getting it out of him! Angarita calls his assistant who has been waiting for this moment (to get the machete??). The horror! Pastor backs down.

Monica and her cousin are discussing Cesar Luis, Paula, Juan and the encounter at the florist. They think that Paula looking for Juan. Monica won't have to find Juan herself, she'll let Paula do the work for her.

Paula greets grumpy CL in his PJ's at home. He asks where she was and she tells him she came from the florist where she ran into Monica! So??? So it's Monica who is the joker. And CL wants to know exactly what Paula herself was doing there at the florist!

CL yells at Paula, what is she hiding? They said they weren't going to hide anything from each other. She says she was just trying to find out who the flowers were from, and she didn't tell him because she knew he would get angry like he did. He thinks she was trying to find Juan.

Pastor says he's not trying to pressure Angarita about Farrell Industries. But Angarita thinks Pastor is pressuring him because Farrell helped him out of the criminal charges. Pastor stares into space, dejected.

Just then, Juan runs up to them. Pastor throws his arms around Juan and gives Juan a big hug. Juan tells him how he just came back into town and about his business. Pastor is thrilled and falls back onto his brother. Angarita rolls his eyes and Pastor says his goodbyes, giddy.

Paula is hugging her teddy bear, hearing CL's words about her ex. Paula says to herself, Juan is not her ex. He's a man that can make her happy.

Juan talks business with Angarita and tries to push the concurso. Kike asks Pastor if it isn't time for Pastor to go back to the office. Pastor is there on behalf of his boss and wants to know what Juan is up to. Kike tells Pastor that he'll have to ask Juan himself. Pastor wants to know if Juan is single. Kike says that Pastor will need to ask Juan directly about that also.

Juan swears on his name to Angarita that he's going to get Televisa to help him out with his project. Pastor comes back and makes eyes at Juan. Angarita tells Pastor that the deal is his and he's sick of Farrell trying to get involved. Juan snaps at Pastor to try to wake him from his daze. Pastor says he'll call Juan and shakes his hand without letting it go.

Juan has a favor to ask Pastor: don't tell anyone that he's back in town, much less the folks at Farrell. Pastor says, count on it! Juan squeezes Pastor's arms and Pastor giggles and turns away.

Nidia and Anna check out a studio space. Nidia has the baby stroller and is thrilled about the studio for Anna's art. Anna thinks it's too big.

Juan works his way onto the Televisa lot by ingratiating himself with the receptionist and going along with her when she thinks he's a famous actor. He says he has an appointment and barges into another office and charms the female office staff there. Kike is tagging along and silently cheering.

Marley gets a romantic note and goes to a restaurant. She is serenaded and Fern appears. They kiss.

Pastor goes to the flower shop and makes his inquiries. Funny he should ask about flowers for Cesar Luis!

Paula tries to apologize to CL and he relunctantly accepts. Juan's out of the picture, of course. CL gets her to agree to go away with him for the weekend.

Delirio's friend gets him to squeeze into a trash can. The trash guy comes out to take the cans away. Delirio and his friend pop their heads up from the trash cans to get some air and duck back down. A guard comes by and hits the side of the trash can and Delirio startles in his trash bag.

Juan tries to sweet talk the gatekeeper at Televisa with the big heart earrings.

At long last, Pastor is able to call his boss with his report. Guess what? Juan's back in town!

Thanks Susana...I missed the first part of the show and the recorder wasn't on. And I was dying to see how Juan escaped from Nidia's sneak attack. She looked like a toreador going in for the kill when she climbed onto his bed.
Lots of good physical comedy in this episode with Alirio's and Gutis' heads popping up from the garbage cans like Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street.
Too much Cesar Luis/Paula tedium for me but such is life. Many thanks.
 

Interesting you are going to get Jaun Q and here in AZ we are going to get Guapos. I wonder how they choose which show to air?
 

Thank you for the recap Susana, I had an appointment and could not watch the show. I see that Pastor is willing to betray Juan. I hope he doesn't realize that Juan is the one taking the business from Farrell.
 

Decie, how odd that one part of the country gets one show and another part a different show. Maybe they split them up and share them?

Ha, my favorite part of the show was when Juan got himself into Televisa. Did I hear right, did he tell the receptionist he was in a telenovela called "Piranhas for Lent"? Then he walked by some of our favorite telenovela stars including Manuel Landeta and Augustin Arana; and the bigwig producer is this show's real producer. I wonder if that was her real office staff?

Thanks Susana! This was a funny episode.
 

Susana, thanks for the great recap! It’s really great that you’ve jumped into the fray with us!

I wondered what Juan was going to do with Nidia. Getting her out of his room that way was pure genius!

“Kike starts talking about the mother-in-law and Juan reflects on his previous close encounters with Nidia.” LOL! His encounters with Nidia are never dull.

“they'll escape via the trash. Delirio yells, The trash!?!” Oh, this is going to be a real hoot. I can just see it now.

“Paula is hugging her teddy bear, hearing CL's words about her ex.” So when is CL going to figure out who gave her the bear? It’s practically new, not like she’s had it all her life.

What would make either Nidia or Pastor think Juan is going to be interested in either of them? (okay, granted, Nidia has lost her mind and is starting from scratch with Juan here-what’s Pastor’s excuse?)

I didn't get to see this one yet, so I'll look forward to it after getting the background.

Thanks for all your comments. I had the same thought about Oscar the Grouch! And Delirio has the eyebrows for it.
 

Susana, he's just as gloomy and fussy as Oscar the Grouch, too. (He might even be grouchy sometimes, especially with Gutis, Yadira, Juan on occasion, Pastor, and others....)

Schoolmarm-in-Black, I've noticed that everytime you have to travel it's amidst a blizzard, tornado, hurricane, sandstorm, or some such vile weather. Are you taking notes? Sounds like a potential telenovela to me!
 

Cap'n Sylvia-ROTFLLL! Now that you point it out, uh-huh, I need to take notes! I think it's a reflection of traveling too darn much. The weather is a pain for me, but I don't often get lost luggage or bumped or terrible delays. I guess Delta takes care of me because of those miles (over 1 million).

I'm watching the news this morning and they're saying we have fog where I am today, with temps of 14-16, which means very slick spots. I am hopeful it will clear by this afternoon when I have to go home.

Jeanne (still chuckling about taking notes)
 

Oh my gosh, I put in my Osacr and the grouch before seeing this. It's like Sylvia said ...we do think alike!! Scary fascinating...!!! Thanks Susana!!
