04/08/08 Guapos "I choose to dedicate a shoutout to whatever 8th grade class writes this diatribe"
Well as if, anyone really thought Mili would marry Hugo. What a convoluted episode. Okay I am just going to dive in cause I gotta hurry and get back to work on work stuff.
Anyhow we see the church and Luci in her black clothes of mourning, Al is on the plane with Pilar who exits to the restroom. We see Al pull out the recorder which has Hugo confessing that Mili has no idea of his compliance in the fake dead fetus staircase nonsense. We don’t hear it, but one can indeed guess where this is going.
Rocky & Gardener guy are waiting to drive Mili to the church. She comes down and she does look good, I personally feel her hair would have looked better up, but hey if that was my only complaint.
Gardener is wearing a black suit with his shirt tails out and tennis shoes. I don’t know why.
Now some chit chat with snarky Luci and the Padre. The Padre is overwhelmed that his lil Mili is getting married, Luci is all nasty with the servant slams.
Pilar has returned from the bathroom….Egads Al is gone, she tries to get them to stop the plane, as she tells her tale of woe, two extremely bored flight attendants say the plane is moving and you are SOL, Pilar whines some more and the Stews thought bubble that they wish they could have gotten off the plane.
The car pulls up and someone jumps in and drives off with Mili in the car. Gardener Guy does not chase the car, so he was wearing tennis shoes for why? Anyway mucho gritoing and wringing of hands, people run out of the church; Hugo is muy impacted..he will soon be much more muy impacted, but at this point he steals a motorcycle from some poor kid, who is yet another victim of this chaos called a script.
Rocky and Gardener Guy try to stop him; but of course to no avail. Now Andrea and Carla, (ah who knew they’d be serving Ho-Ho’s at the Wedding) sorry…, anyway the girls take off in Andrea’s hot lil red sportscar. Shoutout to Consti’s taste in sock-knocking presents. The chiclets are in hawt pursuit of, well I’m not sure, but it is bound to be more fun than the wedding.
Whomever is driving the car…(Yeh, I am building suspense, I don’t want to give it away), is wearing a convenient ski mask and sun glasses, I am sure the mask is available on any street corner in Mexico City, being that it is quite snowy in Mexico City. Always the little firecracker, Mili while screaming non stop jerks the mask off. OMG, as the blonde curls tumble out, at last we see who the kidnapper is….it is Al.
I must pause here for a moment…Sorry, I was overcome remembering the emotion of the moment.
Now, the screaming continues, Mili is furious, Al is screaming back that he has saved her from a fate worse than death; marrying his BSC cuz.
In a true Wiley E. Coyote moment BSC Hugo lies smashed on the pavement, I’m not sure, but I think in a fit of trying to recapture his bride, he rode into an open door. Maybe the guy ran into him, anyway the bike is in pieces (ha ha ha with the tell tale oft use useless bent wheel spinning aimlessly) Hugo lies on the pavement as Andrea and Karla run up. Hugo is bleeding and at least Karla has the decency to appear concerned. Andrea is like, stay with bloody boy, I’m off in hawt pursuit of the bride snatcher. Yes, Andrea did betray her poor upbringing with her behavior. Hugo doesn’t look like he is long for this world.
Now we go back to Al and Mili fighting in the car, you can tell by the background circus music this is supposed to be a light moment after the Hugo paving the pavement. Mili is in the backseat and choking him while he drives. Seriously I have seen the streets of Mexico City…No freaking way. First there is a stop light at every corner and the traffic is always thick, but for the sake of the story let’s just pretend this could actually happen. The choking fighting and screaming continues Mili ends up getting pulled up into the front seat and the hilarity continues.
Meanwhile back at the church, Luci laments all their weddings turn out bad, referring to the prior escapades of Val and married guy. Damien wants to call the cops, but Luci doesn’t want the scandal over a servant. Then realizing they weren’t yet married, Luci cheers up, that way it won’t reflect badly on the family.
Back to the young lovers:
Either Scotty beamed the Car of Kidnapping to a lovely spot by a flowing river, or we are just supposed to assume you can speed out of Mexico City and be out in the country in a matter of moments. Anyhow, it is quite a pastoral scene and guess what there is a shack too. Mili demands he take her back and Al thows the keys off into somewhere, I am sure they will never be found. Good times
Meanwhile, no one has called the police, no one, not the servants, not the family, not the ever helpful Padre. The only thing I can come up with for this really strange inconsistencies is the Mexican version of “Miss Smith’s 8th Grade English class” is writing the scripts.
Luci plays the whole thing off, Gloves is upset, but Luci backs him down. Val seems to think this is all a bit strange, but suddenly she remembers it isn’t about her and her thoughts flit elsewhere. Val laughs that Pa is gonna be P.O’d when he finds out the coche has been stolen. Luci says he’ll buy another…they laugh.
Al ties Mili up at the cabin, she won’t shut the hell up. He gags her, he just wants her to listen to him. Oh he loves her so much and so on. He tells her how much he loves her and then seeing she has calmed down, he ungags her. Oh Al will you never learn? She asks him to untie her and he does. She stands up and looks all seductive and motions him over to the bed, with the universal come hither eye movement. Oh crap did I forget to mention our lil cabin of dreams has a rustic quilt covered bed? Nothing says hawt sex in the country like a ready waiting quilt covered double bed with one corner coyly turned down. Well Al, thinks he is gonna get awesome lucky, he ventures over and Mili she gives him the eye and BLAM she gives him a right to the side of the head, she runs out and Al is rendered even more ineffective than normal writhing on the bed, but so not in a good way.
Damien picks up Consti from the airport. Good, something else to make this more bearable, Consti is wearing a very nice leather jacket. Really I am reduced to rolling over for these little bones.
Damien starts filling Consti in on how Luci has taken over the company, she is the President and she is living large in Consti’s office. This leads to a classic “No Puede Ser” Cesar Evora look. Damien never mentions the wedding debacle.
At some point we are beamed to “Cruz Rojo”, where Karla is awaiting news regarding Hugo. A doctor comes out and tells her; Hugo has regained consciousness. Karla says that is good, but the doctor says wait there is more..isn’t there always? Hugo has lost his memory. Karla gets a cha ching look on her face.
Now then back at the Mansion, Consti arrives, Granny is wringing her hands cause oh yeah, Mili is missing, the good Padre, Father Ineffectual is pacing the floor. Consti comes in all upset over Luci duping him out of the company. Granny tries to tell him about Mili, but he doesn’t have time for servant nonsense.
The Padre forces Consti to speak with him. Much in the spirit of the Pope, Consti grants the Padre a brief audience in his study. ---Question---where do those steps in Consti’s office go? Anyway Padre Ineffectual tells Consti that his daughter was kidnapped, of course Consti thinks Val has been napped again. No it is MiliGol. “Who?” Once again the Padre must explain, your secret Bastard kid. It ends up with are you concerned about your kid or about how much you might have to pay to get her back? Consti doesn’t answer. Thank you Consti, like when an angel gets its wings, an anvil just fell and a demon was allowed to get its trident. AssHat.
Now Mili is sitting outside the shack of dreams, cue the chirping birds and unscrew the top off jar of butterflies. Now in a totally awesome moment we see Mili has scrounged some seriously oversized clothes and she is having yet another one of her one-on-one’s with either, the Father, the Son or the Holy Ghost. She laments her life, is she supposed to always be by herself. Geez Ellie Mae, it is okay to be eighteen and not married. Anyway keeping in form with trying the encourage Mili to think for herself, the Holy Trinity remain silent. Al creeps up on her. Mores screaming, arguing and so on. Wouldn’t you think Mili would find the creeping part enduring as she was going to marry Hugo?
Const, goes into the bedroom to meet his Stepford wife, version two, the Espanol model. Luci is now talking like a sit com wife. Ricky sorry I mean Consti, tells Lucy she is never going to be in the show. Oh my love, she does the vacant valley thing.. finally it comes down to she knows he and Damien committed fraud and he has two choice, STFU and pursue his political career, leaving screwing the company up to her or he and brother dearest can do time in jail. Consti, says “Hey Beeotch, I’ll take Al with me”. “Not so, my soap picking up beloved, Al has left the country”. Muy Impacto…Luci says she doesn’t know where he has gone nor does she know he know when he will return. She does all this without blinking, in a valley voice and Consti is forced to twirl his figurative moustache and say “Curses Foiled Again”
Pilar calls Val and tells her that Al jumped ship, Que the Hell!
My advise to Luci, order several cases of booze cause, that little albatross bastard you’ve carried around your neck for years….He’s Baaaacccckkkkk
Al and Mili have gone back into the cabin of promises, Al calls Granny and tells her…Shhhhh don’t say a word, but Mili is fine. Granny glows like a Christmas tree. She won’t tell Gloves the details, but Mili is okay.
Meanwhile, Karla goes into to Hugo’s room, he is wearing one of those neck stabilizers. He opens his eyes and she says your name is Hugo Whatever and I am you girlfriend Karla. Considering the way no one communicates any information to anyone else at the big house, this could possibly be a brilliant plan. I say you go girl.
Okay that is about all I can say…
Feel free to fill in.
Looks like tomorrow we see the tried and true TeleNovela plot of the Star Crossed lovers only wish they could remain in the Paradise of Quilt filled Cabins.
Consti gets a nine tonight for not caring that his kid has been abducted and just being a Prick in general..it would have been a 9.5, but he had me at leather jacket.

Ah, beckster, you had me at Ho-Ho's.
Other priceless moments: hawt sex in the country, Ricky tells Luci she'll never be in the show (ha!) and, of course, Karla being able to pull of an "I'm your girlfriend" because you're absolutely right--the people in that house never do talk to each other. Miss Smith's 8th grade class must have some fans of both While You Were Sleeping and Amar Sin Limites in it...I'm taking the cabin by the water as a shout-out.

Always a unique viewpoint Beckster...what would we do without you?
My favorite comment?...your "I am reduced to rolling over for these little bones".
True, Consti's leather jacket was a small perk. And for those who hate Al's ponytail, his hair was wonderfully mussed up last night. I may be ready to cross over to the other side..it looked good! Small bones indeed.

Beckster, this was absolutely hilarious--thanks.
I wondered whether Hugo would end up back in the wheelchair, but I should have realized the writers had to move on to a different novela affliction.
As bad as this kidnapping plot is, I like the way Mili keeps putting one over on Al. She has managed to do that a number of times throughout the story, and he always falls for it.

I knew Al was gonna take Mili. I was wondering what was gonna happen to Hugo and well I found out. I saw a bit of the ep before it aired and I was wondering y Hugo was so calm and well its cause he doesn't remember anything. Hmm I wonder what will happen to him now and how long it will take to find out about what happened.
Is it just me or isnt it an old saying that in Mexico your spose to wear black to a wedding?
Great recap.

Beckster: Great and funny recap.
Also, little ole Pilar also complained that Al left her on the plan, and she wasn't even in first class. Hah!
What would a novela be without amnesia? Karla is the perfect person to help Hugo get over it. Looks like some of her plans might be falling into place. What? She can't help Andrea. Too bad.
I understand that this is a very long novela. With the mess it's in now, it will take years to resolve itself.

What a riot – thanks for the all the big laughs, Beckster. A couple of faves: like when an angel gets its wings etc. and unscrew the lid on the jar of butterflies.
I was amazed that the doctor diagnosed Hugo as having lost his memory when he’d just gained consciousness. Seems pretty early to tell. Anyway, I’m glad Hugo is still with us because I think the actor is doing a great job.
Luci looked great done up like a fashion plate.
Once again, I was cringing during the scenes of Al using force on Mili – I mean! Bondage for heaven’s sake. I keep thinking of the pre-teens and teens who are watching this show because of its young protagonista and I hope they’re not taking away the lesson that if a guy treats you like that, it’s True Love.

Tedious episode, but hilarious recap!
What terrible writing...given the amount of hype this episode has gotten, I would have thought it would be more exciting...Maybe they lost the script or something, and just had to work off the first draft. I don't usually mind the rehashing of old cliches, but this show usually does a better job of REVELING in them and adding some wit. Not this time. Poor Allisson Lozz must have been hoarse for days after all that shrieking.
I hope Pilar gets stuck in Argentina for some convoluted reason and never returns.
Is it wrong that I laughed hysterically when I saw Hugo smashed on the pavement? I would never laugh at a real person smashed on the pavement, I swear.

I was painfully reminded of the sheer agony experienced in the presence of a fifteen year old pitching a hissy fit! Enough with the banshee keening already!
Kidnapping the bride and going to a remote, romantic (?) location, gee, how original? No wait, didn't Diego kidnap Azul and take her to a beach cabin in Amar? But, then, that was after the wedding!
Oh no, Hugo has amnesia! What a strange and unique affliction! No, wait, this is a telenovela, so that is plot number 87.
I think I prefer Luci as a hard-drinking, heartbreak-song-singing, long-suffering, class bigot than as a hairbrained Licenciada wannabe.
I almost switched over to Traicion last night this episode was SOOOOO painful.
Please, let the 12th grade class write the next couple of episodes!

Maggie, I totally agree about the bondage stuff. Alex is not convincing me that he loves Mili. She needs to make like Kelly Taylor and just choose herself.
Also, Alex should have paid more attention in Boy Scouts or Terrorist Camp or whatever he went to. His rope skills remind me of when my little brother was, like, seven, and one of his favorite games was to "capture" people and hold them for ransom or whatever...i.e. he would sneak up on me and tie me up with a rope, but of course he was terrible at it and I could slip those ropes right off any time...well, my little bro was a professional compared to Alejandro. Mili was having trouble even pretending those ropes were restraining her. So that was kind of funny.

Actually I didn't find the episode overly tedious. I've seen hundreds that were worse but the emotional aspects of everyone seem off.
No way could that madness in the car happen in the DF with its terrible traffic. I've always assumed that the Belemonte Casa and the orphanage are located more to the outskirts of town and not in the heart of the city. None of those big residential palaces are, if I remember correctly. So a reasonable proximity to the romantic hovel complete with a wardrobe for Mili and a giant spider might be somewhat feasible - LOL.
Speed of light travel appears to be continuing in novelaland. Al abandons Snouty Spice in COACH dios mio and the flight heads off to Buenos Aires. At the end of the episode with the non-worried family still sitting in the foyer/confessional Pilar arrives ranting. I did a little checking and there is no direct flight from the DF to BA and with a stop in anyone of several South American countries the trip takes anywhere from 12 to 19 hours. Obvious miss snit got off at a connecting point and caught a return flight arriving apparently within a couple of hours of the "kidnapping".
I couldn't blame Al for gagging Mili with that endless shrieking and I wonder if he will finally have to play the tape for her to get her to thank her lucky stars that she didn't go through with a marriage to one of the family psychos.
Connie lost big points with me for his total lack of concern about Mili's welfare, which based on earlier scenes didn't ring true. Then again lush Luci running the business might make anyone react badly. Speaking of badly the entire clan seems totally unconcerned that there has been no contact from Hugo. Mili could vaporize for all most of them care but Hugo is BLOOD and not some naco. I wonder when or if Karla will call and give them the news.

I couldn't blame Al for gagging Mili with that endless shrieking and I wonder if he will finally have to play the tape for her to get her to thank her lucky stars that she didn't go through with a marriage to one of the family psychos.
Connie lost big points with me for his total lack of concern about Mili's welfare, which based on earlier scenes didn't ring true. Then again lush Luci running the business might make anyone react badly. Speaking of badly the entire clan seems totally unconcerned that there has been no contact from Hugo. Mili could vaporize for all most of them care but Hugo is BLOOD and not some naco. I wonder when or if Karla will call and give them the news.

One final thought on last episode. Did you catch how difficult it was for Mili to keep her topless gown from dropping to her knees!? Reminds me of my daughter's first prom when she was a 15 year old freshman.
I'm going to add another comment, just to make our show look less unloved. Pasion has 50 comments to our 11!
Obviously Al saw Pedro Almodovar's "Atame" (the English title was "Tie me Up, Tie me Down") with Victoria Abril and Antonio Banderas (I think this was Banderas' last Spanish movie). In it, a man is released from a lunatic asylum and goes directly to the junkie porn star he met the last time he ran away from the loonybin. She can't remember him (probably high as a kite when she met him) so he kidnaps her, and keeps her tied up and gagged for several days until she falls in love with him and eventually remember him (in the sack of course). I kid you not, this was the plot. For what it's worth, it was actually a very funny movie and it managed to work. In this case, Al's inability to tie a proper knot (he almost garroted her by accident!) and the car hijinks (kudos to the crew for moving the "car" around 'cause you know this was shot in front of a green screen) made what could have been very disturbing episode into a very silly one.
Connie will definitely never win "father of the year." Connie and PM were discussing who else might know Mili was Connie's kid. Padre asked him if he was worried about his daughter missing, the money he might have to pay, or "what people will think."
By the by, Regina did try to call the police, but Luci told her that if the kidnappers killed Mili over the call to the police, don't blame her...
Chamuco and the house staff were discussing how they might need to raise funds for Mili's rescue.
Although Regina didn't tell Braulio that Mili was with Al (poor Braulio was all worked up over the scary kidnapper's call), she did call PM to calm him down, but asked him not to tell anyone. He then informed Mother Superior and Sor Cachete and asked THEM not to tell anyone. Sor Cachete felt compelled to call Gloria to calm HER down, at which the PM asked her to simply tell her Mili was fine and not mention Al. SC then called and started with "Guess What?" From the previews it looks like Gloria will continue the chisme with the rest of the staff.
I realize the writing is far from Oscar material, but it has some funny moments, and the acting is en par with the writing.

NinaK- Pasion is more confusing – or was. I started watching it at the beginning and most of the posts were about trying to figure out who was who, how everyone was related and what was going on and where. I don’t know if it’s still that way, since I switched to Guapos when it came on.
Maggie, I'm in agreement regarding Pasion. I had the same reaction as you. The show seemed to be an endless rehash about missing documents or secret identities. I stopped watching weeks ago. However, I started watching again in the last week or so. It's much better now, in the endgame.
Not to mention the awful traffic, Mexico City is brimming with Traffic Cops on every corner. Especially the main drag.Reforma, La Villa and so on and so forth.
Did anyone else think that the flight attendant uniforms were a little "beauty shop" looking? They didn't seem like uniforms at all.
I was shocked Al was able to get off the plane at all. Usually, once you check your luggage you gotta go with it to it's final destination. Then again, this is a telenovela. They did however, make Pilar take her seat and fasten her seatbelt while the plane taxied.

I just want to comment that I miss this Mili who is strong, determined, and in fighting spirit. I thought the writers were changing Mili into a weak female that just falls apart. For several weeks now we saw Mili only fall apart a lot. I like the Mili character from the beginning who could kick Al's butt. She could dish it back to anyone including Consti and Andrea.
Mili has to be told that a eighteen old year girl doesn't have to married that she can wait until the actual guy come around or a more mature one that marries for the right reason and that's love.
Why does she want to be married anyone? With all the examples she seen like "Consti and Luci" and look at her mother's history too? Men are not suppose to be trusted is what I thought was the message in the beginning? She changed her mind so easily to liking males.
I have some questions that I am hoping someone like answer for me. Is it about time that Mili knows who her father is? I thought she would know by now or with this new incident she would be told? When is she probably to know- soon, a month, or towards the end of the series? What might be the reason that Andrea is helping Al by giving him the recorder - what is her motive? No one is concerned about Hugo - wondering where he might be at? EVEN HIS OWN FATHER?
NO ONE CARES EXCEPT FOR THERE OWN SELVES ESPECIALLY DAMIEN.
Karla and Hugo do belong together. Karla should dump Damien who is just using her. He is no good.
One more question to anyone who might know WHEN IS Fuego En La Sangre going to start? From all the preview is looks good and interesting. I want to start seeing it. I don't see Pasion now. I am not into period pieces.
Thats for all the good recaps all week long. THANKS!
