04/29/30 "Here is to Hoping Flor's Father Kills Al"

Otra vez, they break up…but hey what about that make up?
Oh Al, who knew you could replace your evil father in name only father on my list of Rat Bastards?
Oh Al, I feel I must critique your sad little shallow personality, for while other evil doers (did I say evil doers?, feel free to say it out loud in your best George W. voice); know they are doing evil, ie. Uncle Damien, Andrea, Consti. You are blinded by your incredible boyish grin and flowing golden locks.

Al is planning a hook-up with Flor & her sister, no not a threesome…yet
He has included Bobby alias, Al as we are involved in a whole lame ass script of useless subtext. Anyhow, to make a long story short and a bit less bearable, Al posed as the MajorDomo, the other night when Flor and parents came to the Belemonte Anniversary Party. Al had met Flor earlier, by an pond. Yeah, I know, they both lamented broken hearts. Now I know this is hard to believe, but in the world of Mexico City, which defies all natural rules of physics; you are guaranteed to meet any random person and to run into to them 24 hours later in totally different coordinates in Mexico City. What can this be? Ah I believe it is the natural influx of Aztec spiritness combined with the pulsating power of the Basilica. This must be true or how could it happen over and over and over.
Anyway he was posing as the Majordomo and Flor thought he was a servant, so then Al has Bobby pose as Al.

Mili is in the kitchen talking to her posse. She is telling them how thrilled Big Al is going to be once he finds out she is going back to school. She runs off to tell him.
Meanwhile, Bobby gate-mouth, is telling Val how, he and Al have dinner with the sisters. Al is enamoured with the new girl. Mili overhears and clutches her hand to her mouth.

Mili goes to the kitchen and rants somemore about what a RatBastard Al is.

Al is upstairs doing what Al does best, grinning in front of the mirror. Mili knocks at the door and Al is very short with her. She asks where he is going and of course he lies. He says that he and Bobby are off to an evening of sports, like a sports bar. Bobby comes in and Al tries to get him to cover, but Bobby is clueless and the boys skip out, well not skip but kind of a stilted Nazi march. Mili is left to cry and stare at the picture, Al has on his desk. I bet you thought it was a picture of Mili, yeah I fell for it too. No it is a big ol 5x7 of whom else? Al of course. Now you knew that AssHat would have a big ole picture of himself on his desk.

So Al and Bobby arrive at the home of the “Fresh Meat” sisters, oh please snowballs have more chance in hell than Bobby does of scoring.

Flor calls her Dad to come and have dinner with them. Al is like, OH NO. Did I forget to mention, that Pa knows Al is Al cause he meet him over at the Empresa of No Business. Anyway, Bobby cooks up this story that he being the big business guy has three more meetings. Bobby takes off, but Flor won’t let Al leave. So Al goes to the bano. I’m thinking maybe he is going to climb out the window or something. Pa arrives and after a really awkward long time, Pa starts saying maybe Al died in the bathroom.
Please Pa, you’ve only been involved in this a couple of episodes, why should you be so lucky. Finally Al comes out of the bathroom and Flor introduces Agripto (I’m not sure if that name is exactly right), but close. Agripto is the fake name Al has been using. The father raises an eyebrow, but doesn’t drop the dime on Al. No doubt, another person struck by the boyish smile and golden locks. Finally the sister takes off and Flor leaves the room.

Pa and Al chat. Al tells yet another lie, but looking all boyish and batting his eyelashes, Al is rich and he wanted to make sure Flor, adored him for his attributes and not his money. Pa says he understands, but if Al screws with Flor, there will be no mercy. He pulls out an enormous gun to get the point across.

Meanwhile, Val is at the Rodeo, where she has agreed to help out Rocky, due to the fact that he bought her an expensive necklace to prove his undying love and she threw it out the car window. So she is turning up her nose working at Taco Naco. Her two buddies come in and she hides. Rocky leaves to dance with them. Val is jealous and goes to see what is going on. Val pulls both girls off Rocky and when everyone says she is jealous, she runs off. (Really these two are my new crush, they are so refreshing after Mili & Al, and Mili & Hugo, and Al & Andrea, Al & Pilar, Al & Flor and last but not least Al & Al.

At some point Luci was having drinks with Damian & he told her he really isn’t sick, So good times to put the screws to Consti.

Now a commercial and come back in the room and Al is leaving Flor’s but she is wearing a nightgown. I am having a total Que the Hell, moment. She is all kissing and groping Al. Does this mean they did the deed? I am so not sure.

Next thing we see Andrea & Consti at the office. So I am even more confused, did Al spend the night?

Consti tells Andrea that Damian is dying. Andrea is skeptical, but Consti says he talked to the doctor and yes indeed, Damian is a mere toe tag away from the big marble slab.
Andrea is concerned is it contagious? Damien comes in and is coughing all over each and every surface in the office. Andrea leaves. Damien continues to hack and cough. He needs some money and Consti is only too happy to give it to him. Damien keeps making all these jokes, and Consti is tearing up, cause well Damien has no idea he is not long for this world. BWWWAAAAHAAAA, Consti, fooled again.

Rocky brings Val a lemonade out to the pool, she won’t let him get within two meters of her. When he walks away, she lusts after him.

Mili goes in to talk to Al, who is now in his bedroom and still wearing the same clothes I think. She tells him she is going to school, and Al just blows her off. He said they had many more problems than that and they are no longer a couple. Mili, tries to make nice, but Al won’t play. Mili says well they can be friends. Al says okay let’s kiss on it. Al grabs her and gives her the famous Al, tongue hockey probe. Mili softens and says, is that how you kiss your friends. Yeah just friends and he walks out on her.

Now Flor arrives at the door, asking for the MajorDomo, Gloves keeps saying he is the MajorDomo and has been for twenty years. Val wanders in and Luci is there. Another knock at the door and it is Bobby, who has to confess he is not Al.

Finally, Al comes down the steps and Flor makes a huge show of forgiving him for his little joke. Al is just such an Ass. They announce they are girlfriend and boyfriend. Does this guy never just date? He is constantly getting set-up to get married. Really now don’t you think Pilar had a bit of a right to be pissed? Al, know we know he is going to break lil Flor’s heart, Geez it is always about him.

Mili is standing on the steps, for once she is very quiet. Luci sees her and questions what she doing? Mili just mutters. Flor says who is that. Al loudly says, “Carlitos, un Amigo”. At this point, Al you broke my heart.

That was totally the moment Al jumped to the head of the RatBastard list for me. Always the gentleman.

Mili goes to kitchen and tells, her posse what happened, she is off for the comfort of St. Deceptions.

Al comes in looking for her asks where she is. Gloria yells at him and he leaves.

Mili is all depressed at the church and the good Padre tries to cheer her up with some futbol, but alas futbol won’t cure a broken heart.

Flor and AssHat Al, flutter through the garden, where she forgives him for his lies. Of course she forgave him. They are now an item. Flor tries the be gentle with my heart. Al is like of course. She asks him if she is the only woman in his life and he uses his super joven powers to say yes. Flor is a goner.

Luci is all excited and tells Consti that Al may marry Flor. Consti says, crap, have you ever watched the Sopranos? Cause Flor’s Pa is Tony Soprano with a bigger gun.

Consti later actually warns Al, which surprised me as I’d of given him my blessing and bought Flor’s Pa a big ol box of Hollow Points.

On the upside, Val comes out and Rocky is washing the car, shirtless, she tells him to put his shirt on, but Rocky says it is too hot. Val starts toweling him off. That was the one redeeming scene, except for Damien hacking fake disease all over Consti.

Oh I forgot with the little voice of Andrea in his ear and seeing Luci gleefully cutting flowers, Consti is now rethinking Damien’s deathwatch.

This episode made me hate myself, I actually felt a rightous pang of man-hate when Al did his Carlitos quip. So at this point Al is dead to me, I will not fall victim to his boyish charm or golden locks. Al feels perfectly justified in his actions, well really Mili is better off, they had one thing in common, her virginity…him wanting it and her holding out. My favorite suggestion for Miss Garcia’s eight grade class…is someone slipping Al some serious ecstasy in a drink and he is discovered two hours later, nude staring at himself in a mirror.

Beckster: Thank you for my morning lauph.

Yes, Al has completely lost all my sympathy and support. He looks more and more like Cameron Diaz to me. Except she's taller.

I hope the writers have something good for Mili - like a new, real man hero. Both Hugo and Al are stinkers of the first magnitude.

Valeria and Rocky? Looks like it might happen. Luciana will have a fit. Good.

From lower Ala
 

Al and Flor did not get it on; he had left, then came back later when she was in her nightgown to try to tell her who he really is, but she was all, "it doesn't matter," and they smooched. That was it.

Jeez, how much deeper a hole can Al really dig for himself? I am going to be muy surprised if by the end he redeems himself enough that I actually like him.

Val & Rocky are hilaire. That was some good campy cheesetastic fun when she was toweling him off and he was pretty much swooning in exstacy. Hope she gives in before he self-immolates.
 

Just realized I can't spell first thing in the morning. Ecstasy. That's it.

Anyway, what's going on at the company? Constancio was back in his office? Did I miss something? When he cried after giving Damien the check, I wasn't sure if he was sad because he thinks Damien is dying, or because he suspects he's not, but he'll have to keep giving him money to avoid seeming mean or something. As much as he mocks Al's lack of business sense, you'd think he'd check into Damien's "illness" a bit deeper before giving him money, given their history.
 

How do you do it Beckster? I was laughing out loud at many points, and then at the end I saw how early you’d posted your recap! Fast and funny!

I was glad to see your title because I have had it with Al too. Unbelievably cruel behavior on his part – and so quick to get infatuated with someone else, though I must say that unfortunately the chemistry between him and Florencia is better than it is between him and Mili. So not only is he ice-cold with Mili (though teasing her with a big kiss), he also is telling the recently wounded Florencia that his heart is free and clear. Double dastardly acts.

It looks like Connie is onto Damien already. Once again, here’s a fun plot line resolved way too fast – or about to be resolved.
 

Beckster too right. Al tops the novela RatBastard list. That snotty comment to "Carlitos" was beyond cruel. I HATE, HATE, HATE him. There is no justification for his behavior. He is cruel self centered prick. Oh yeah did i mention I hate him. Mili deserves a thousand times better than him. He truly is Luci selfish spawn. I want to see him suffer and suffer and suffer from now til October and in the end see Mili waltz off with a real prince while he is stuck with the toad Flo.

You just know that the Mafia Princess with daddy of the big gun is going to pull off what Pilar couldn't. I did think when the prick went camping out in the bathroom that he might just unslick his hair and come out all curled to fool the sharp eyed mafioso. But no he comes out and acts like a simpering male fool. I've never seen a galan yet that didn't spend most of the novela thinking with his little head.

Damian and his clever plans. Too bad he can't keep his mouth shut and now his dimwit alcohol impaired sister completes forgets to act upset thereby giving away the game. Those Aranas - what scheming simpletons.

Those previews tonight of Mili all dressed up and going to Flo's place gives me a bad feeling. You just now that The Thing once known as Al will show up and Mili will fall into the trap of acting like a naco. I just hope she acts like a lady and warns Flo that her prince is a flighty lying pig.

Three cheers for Val still snobby but working at it and Morgan/Rocky. They were much less tedious last night than usual.
 

Oops typing to fast I meant Luci completely forgets to act like she is grieving for Damian's supposed death and I also meant that you just Know Mili will act like a naco.

Luci's carefree behavior is what tipped Connie off to question Damian's illness and he going to go off to the doctor to check it out for himself.
 

Al is really hateful now. How will they ever redeem him. We compared him earlier to Don Fernando. Fernando's rehabilitation was more palatable, because at least we knew 1) he really loved Lety. 2) he was only pretending to still love Marcia, but at least he was planning to end that relationship 3) he really did try to find that little red bag so the terrible letter would not be seen by Lety. It was tough sledding for a while, but he won us over.

The way they are writing this Al character, there is no redeeming value!!!
 

And yes, Beckster, I don't see how you can write this funny recap so fast!
 

Re: Al’s photo in his room. When I saw that, I flashed back – way back – to the scene with Braulio and the puppet on his bed and him clutching photos of his sister. At the time we were unsure whose room it was, but when they panned the scene at the beginning of the shot – there was that framed photo of Al on the dresser. Later we found out that Braulio hated Al for getting what Mili deserved. So why a photo of Al on his dresser?

Maybe all the rooms have a photo of the golden boy as their standard décor.
 

There is something weird going on with the photos of Al. It's like a running theme and I wonder if it's going somewhere eventually. They are shown everywhere. When Bobby was in the office pretending to be Al when Flor came in, he made a point of turning over the photo of Al on the desk so she wouldn't see it. Now I'll have to watch for them.
 

Hello there! everyone, I took two nights off to not watch the show. I did record the Monday night, but not so last night. I did see some previews and read the recaps here.
I was getting tired of thw show and needed to take a break or just stop watching.
I did say that what I like about the show is the interaction and comedial antics between Rocky and Val. This always makes me laugh. I hope Val gives in to Rocky. I know he loves her a lot. Bobby, on the other hand, dates around. He is not ready to really committed to one woman. I thought once Bobby would be right for Lina, but now I reconsider this idea. Lina needs someone that is for her and only her.
I did say also that Mili and Al aren't ready to settle down. They have been fighting and arguing a lot lately. A person can only take so much in case of Al.
I am not trying to make excuses for him, but he has been under a lot of pressure from everyone including Mili. She wants Al to change into what she wants him to be.
My one lesson to teach Miligol is that if you try to change someone all you will get is grief. She has to expect Al how he is and hope he changes himself if not go find someone out there that is more to what she wants. We know that this is not what is going to happened because this is a show where somehow Al and Mili will eventually they will get together.
Al's character design and in the synposis has been that Al is a rich, spoiled young man that got any ladies he wants and that he get intrigued by Miligol. So to me, this is expected of Al.
I didn't like him for awhile along with Miligol.
I thought for a couple of weeks that they don't belong together, for all they have been doing was fighting. It seemed that way.
THEY NEED TO BOTH GROW UP OR BECOME MORE MATURE. What was about each other that they like in the first place.
At least now they have a break from each other. I just hope Miligol stay away from Hugo. Because Mili just uses Hugo to make Al jealous or to make her feel ok with herself.
Mili needs to learn to feel good about herself and not need a guy to establish her self-esteem. During this time, she should just concentrate on starting school and learning and just let Al be with Flor. Al has more cheminstry with Flor at the moment.
I am going to try to come back to watching the show again.
Thank your, Beckster, for your excellent commentary. I enyoyed it. I agree you totally. Bravo!!!
 

I don't think that Mili has been trying to change Al. I think she was just shocked at the way he treated the workers and wanted him to be as compassionate as he had been with her and the street urchin. Al on the other hand runs hot and cold, I love, want to marry you, we are over, we are just friends. Even a girl with more experience than Mili has would be driven crazy by his behavior.

I don't see any heat between Al and Florencia. She is just another spoiled girl and she seemed to be pushing the issue even more than he did. I don't believe her I'm so shy and wounded routine for one minute. She is just like a lot of those fake, I'm so sweet lying barracudas that chase after and win, if only for a while, the clueless leading man. Al is going to have to pay and pay big before he will be worthy of Mili and I fear that Hugo the obsessed will be back on the scene to help her get over Al. Yuck! A pox on both of them.

As for Bobby he has never pretended to lover anyone or to be ready to settle down. Both os these guys are in their early 20's and Bobby seems to act just like any single guy. Al on the other hand, probably at Luci's pushing is constantly making promises he is never going to keep, Andrea, Mili, Pilar and now this new chick.
 

Thanks for the comments; sometimes I worry that I am too negative on these people. Oh who am I kidding? If it bothered them they would change their behavior, but they haven't.

I felt sorry for Mili last night, but she has annoyed me big time. DumbAss Al stopped the wedding and after that he basically allowed her to do anything, crass. The nonsense at his job was so uncalled for. The crap of hitting the patrons on the arm. Please, really except for a darn perky personality, Mili has nil going for her. I seriously doubt grocery boy's(the one who is with Gloria), I doubt his rents would be anymore thrilled than Al's over Mili. That whole loud, crass behavior is not acceptable.

All Mili and Al had going was, he is rich and beautiful and makes her feel like she is worth something. He wanted her cause she is a virgen and cause he wanted to screw Hugo over.
 

Beckster, you know we have gone over to the dark side when we have even stopped clamoring for more shots of shirtless Al and his amazing abs.
