Juan Q 4-2-08 - Any similarity to reality is purely coincidental to Paula

Pau is tearing Marely a new one. Pau tells her she thought she was the only sensible and intelligent one in that family. Mar swears her friendship was no trick, Pau should know that she’s not capable of something like this and she didn’t come to defend her mother but to come to her face and tell Pau she’s sorry that this happened and that Pau found out this way. She swears it’s not the way it seems and she’s hurt that they will lose their friendship over money. Pau mocks her that those are such beautiful words but she believes none of them. She tells her to git oh and tell your ma that this isn’t the end of this, that she has not persuaded her at all because the damage is done. She cries. OK, so here's the first of her closest family she doesn't believe is telling the truth.

In the school the brats are picking on Juan again, and if he’s going to tell on them again Juan rushes back asking him if he’ll rematch. They say yes, not here, but to a clean fight out in the park in front where the teacher can’t get them. They taunt him are you coming or are you going back on your word. He says he’s not a chicken or a person who goes back on his word (Rajon)! They proceed to said park.

After Pastor earlier told Ivy he had a plan for the new guy to start at the bottom just like everyone else, he really meant the bottom, and down in the dungeon still reeking no doubt of Perafan funk. Ivy is instructing the tweedle (nicely dressed in a banana hued spring suit but still with his deformed dirty hat) how the files are archived and ordered by letter [Insert camera shots of her ARSE]. Her virginal white mini skirt suit and FM heels prove too much for this horndog’s pea brain, and he sort of loses sight of his task in favor of the call of the wild. He wants to chat about her instead since they are coworkers. She says that very reason is why we should keep our distances, but he is not deterred.

He asks if it matters if the red files are mixed with the blue ones and she wonders who was talking about colors rather the alphabet, which he does know right? At least the man admits his shortcomings; he knows the alphabet, but says he’s nervous when in the presence of such a hembra (female – used most often describing an animal) such as she. She tells him to look up because she has no eyes in her knees. He says what should I do in front of such a fine filly (potranca) as you. Ivy says your grandmother is a filly; that she’s no animal and she walks off. He says even if she were he’d love to take her out of the corral and ride her around a bit. Yee haw!!!


Juanito gets pummeled by 3 on 1.

Pau asks if she reached her rat fink friend and isn’t surprised when Ana tells her Nid didn’t answer. Pau says they were there surely they didn’t want to talk to you. Ana thinks there is more to this story and that maybe Pau is leaping to unwarranted conclusions. Pau says no and reminds her that Nid wasn’t her friend when her Dad died. She wants Pau not to say anything until she can talk to Nid, because now things are different and she’s supported her and helped with the gallery. She thinks if Nid was involved wouldn’t Juan have said something, he was living there when your Dad died. Pau says of course you are right, he’s known all along too and hasn’t told me!! Here's the second person, her own Mother, she doesn't believe is telling what the truth might be.

Yadi is going on about getting a new house with 3 bedrooms and a terrace for the baby to get sun. Profe reminds her he’d love to, and knows she’s used to a big house that she grew up in, but he’s without work, so this is all there is.

Juan is giving Kike a pep talk to go and talk to Yadi in a mature manner. Kike says he’d love to but, he just ends up wanting to punch out that guy and more. he wants Juan to come with him. Juan tells Kike he has to go himself if he wants to earn Yadi's respect and Juan can’t meddle between the two of them. He tells Kike he needs to handle this maturely, especially if one day Yadi sees her errors and comes back. Juan tells Kike that many a chica wished they won the lottery and married Kike because he is a devoted husband, hard-wroking and grest Papa. If Juan was a girl he’d marry Kike right now! Kike tells him he’s hit the wall there, because no way would he be crazy enough to marry Juan. They chuckle and good cheer is spread.

Teacher discovers Juan was fighting again.

Perafan explains to Marely that Nid flew the coop. Marely is worried about her Mom.

Pastor worries with Ivy about who will now be captain of this Titantic alias Farell now that CL abdicated.

Ana tries to talk Pau out of the fact that Juan knew all this. but Pau says right now she needs to calm down. Just then Pastor calls and notifies Pau that CL fled the co and the co (company and country). Pau is impactada -i.e. no calming there....

Pau says he couldn’t have left just like that. Ana worries that he hasn’t signed the divorce papers. Pau says there is still so much pending. Pastor worries that he has been left with no directions. Pau says well guess you’ll have to call Mr. Dominguez. She tells him to buzz off.

Perafan tells Marely that Ana was here banging on the door but he couldn’t open because what explanation would he give her, next the police would be knocking.

Teach wants to know whodunit. Juan isn’t talking. Teach threatens to tell Pa

Anga is with Nid and hangs up from Pasty looking for Juan. Nid worries what her chomi will think when he finds out what she did. She says her peace ended the day she decided to partake in that stupid idea. She begs that Anga will not turn her in. That his betrayal will leave her completely lost. She is afraid she will end her days like Chucho el Roto. She wants to end up with Anga, and asks him to swear that he won’t be the one to undo her and turn her in. She goes on, there is only death if you abandon me. He says he’s in a difficult position but ends up promising no one will learn from him she is there and she thanks him profusely.

Perafan thinks she fell into her deep passions and is with Anga. He suggests to Mar to call that monster. Mar agrees that’s probably true.

Pau thinks this is just like CL to do this to her. Ana is worried about the divorce but Ana tells Pau, like it or not, she is still his wife so she better take control of that company. She says no it’s his deal, she’s not interested but Ana says what about all those people that are working there with no guidance. Pau gets snippy but then apologizes to her Ma.

Ana again tries to dissuade Pau from thinking Juan knew about the inheritance. Pau still in her own world refuses to believe it and says how else can you explain the Cachons taking him in just like that as a total stranger, and he showed up just the day her Dad passed.

Yadi is reading the want ads. She stumbles upon one for a marketer/marketing. She continues, "useless to present yourself without references." She says, huh, they are looking for a useless person without references. She is stumped. Profe says, no, hun they are saying that it’s useless to present yourself as a candidate if you don’t have any references. She agrees he’s right. Mercadologo - inutil para presentar se sin referencias.

Door rings. Yadi asks if it opens by itself, Profe is feeding the baby, but she is looking for work. Of course much more important. So Profe has to open.

Kike shows up at the door. Profe wants to know in forceful words what he’s doing there.

Mar calls Anga who lies for his love. Nid thanks him for saving her life. Just then the doorbell rings. Nid hides.


It’s Juan. He gets the news that CL left. Juan thinks this is another game and that he’s playing. Anga thinks to expect anything from that guy. Anga thinks he risks a lot by taking off but Juan reminds him that he also doesn’t have that much to lose. During this he appears to analyze a glass of water on the table, likely noticing the excessive imprint of Nid’s lipstick. Anga sneakily takes it away and puts it behind his back.

Juan gets a call with his Cachibombo ring. It’s Profe Pompous teling him of his son's misbehavior and refusal to tattle.


Kike wants to speak with Yadi. he and Profe fight over being tu’ed. Yadi puts down her career search and comes out and tells him to leave. He says he’s not leaving until he says what he came to say. She says go ahead then. He says alone. She asks Profe to leave them alone then. He protests, that not only does he have to tolerate Kike’s insults but now he has to leave his own home!! He says fine, he will demonstrate some prudence and allow this jerk 5 minutes.


Back at Anga's Juan tells Pastor on the phone that he’ll be there shortly. Juan thinks by now CL is surely in the house of the devil. Anga swats flies off his coat (waves Nid to stay back out of sight). Juan says that it seems that Cl really is gone, and he says with that business sorting through the truths and the gossip is like pulling a little stone out of the beans. (Not easy, picture a little stone close to the color of beans….) Anga laments that he leveraged his shops to help out this business, he promises Juan that if this business sinks, he will wack him up with a machete (Macheteo).

Juan tries to calm Anga but he remarks to himself that this was a great time for CL to leave without giving him any clue to running the business, and him running a business is like Anga giving remedies for baldness! (Not very promising or convincing, or effective obviously)

Kike wants to know what happens with the baby. He says he has the right to see her.
He asks her to really think about whether this is the best place for her daughter to grow up and whether that clown will be a good father to my little baby. Yadi gets a consterned look.

Juan wonders to himself if it will happen that he’s actually going to be the frontman in charge of this huge business! He says so be it, then he’ll have to start by changing the name to Industries Dominguez! He says what fear, in reality he doesn’t even know where to bring in the bull (into the bullring). He says being the boss is not as easy as it seems.

Kike begs her to think about her daughter. Think about what’s best for her and not just getting what you want. He calmly reminds here of all the things the baby will have at the Cachon house, healthy food, clean safe place to play, her auntie, grandma, etc. He apologizes for ruining her day, that wasn’t his intention but he wanted her to really think about all this. Yadi looks affected finally.


Kike Pacmanned or Mario’d his way through the magic coins and picked up some strength or power points on the way out of that building because out on the street Kike sucker kicks our Profe right in the behind in the middle of a conversation with his neighbor! Rah Rah Kike!!!!! He warns him that if he lets anything happen to his daughter the smallest sore or stomach ache and he will charge Topete with it. Topete says he wants only the best for the kid too. Kike says yeah whatever, the best is that she is with her Daddy. Topete agrees that’s what he’s been saying and Kike says well if that’s so then you better march right up there and convince Yadi to let me have my daughter. He says you can have Yadi to live your life like in a painting (fairytale), but not my daughter. He says he is capable of anything for her. ANYTHING!!!!! Tapete gets the picture and backs down from his macho stance in this exchange. Wonder if that’s only in front of the women he puffs his feathers. Anyway.


Juan goes to perform his fatherly duties and he is troubled because he thinks his son came out just like him, good for Mazapanazos (I think this is like bullying or punch outs or belly blows) but bad for using his smarts. He actually thinks Juanito is doing the right thing by not tattletaleing or being a coward and letting others mess with him, but he also needs to respect authority and not get into fights before hand. He thinks being Papa is the hardest job ever. Juan asks what Pompous recommends he do. Pompous says I’ve done all I can, maybe he’ll open up for you, I’ll leave you I’m going to watch my finance program. I think Juan gets a light bulb. He asks about this TV program and wants to know more about it. He thinks maybe this guy crossed his path for more than just educating Jito.

Next we see him walking the street with Jito. He uses the story of Benito Juarez the benefactor of the Americas and when he confronted Maximilian. (Here's a link to an interesting film starring none other than our Bette Davis eyes that discusses their competition) He thinks this is a good example because not only does he know his heritage well, but Juarez also came from a small village and took on the big guys. Jito still won’t give up the name and tell him it’s his problem.Juan tells him fine but you are reposnsible ofr your actions then. But…

Juan reminds him to not to forget that his Pa is his friend and if he needs help he needs to do nothing more than knock on his chest and he’ll be there looking after what is going on.

J&J show up at Farell, Juanito is impressed.

Everyone greets Juan. They all want to shake his hand and do something for him. Jito wonders why the hype. He learns of the purchase and that Pa owns half of all this. He smiles his big grin.

Back at the inadequate departamento, Profe says very sweetly he thinks Kike is right about most of what he said. They are financially challenged and it will cost a lot to take care of the baby, so maybe she should think about letting him care for the baby. Yadi is offended that he thinks this too.

Juan asks Fer for the scoop. Fer tells him that no, this time it’s not a trick, CL really left with suitcases and one of the chauffers took him to the airport. Oh yeah, that definitely means he’s gone…this from the guy who faked being at odds with his former wife to court his current wife, and countless other fake outs. Somehow suitcases makes it different. Anyway….

Ana wonders if Pau is going out. In her lingerie I’d think no, but then again it’s Pau, so of course she’s going out. Oh where, not to find Farell Ana worries, nope, to find Juan. The third close person to her that she doesn't believe and thinks is in a grand plot to undo her. You know the medical community has a name for it. Paranoid Delusional disorder..... :)

K, thanks for the speedy and diverting recap! Thanks especially for the explanation of Yadi's job hunting--she's definitely useless. And your title is terrific!

Since I have been tied up and out of town with no Univision, a lot is happening! Gee, if not for these wonderful recaps, I'd be totally lost. Paula is definitely a loose cannon. I would never have guessed it in the beginning, but we had signs, folks. She was wound pretty tight from the beginning. That should have been a clue to us that she could unravel at any moment, and we've been seeing her unravel for a while now. She's paranoid and lots of other things. She has not one ounce of forgiveness in her soul--and really belongs with César Luis Farell. I hope they find each other again.

Off to some conference meetings!

Jeanne
 

Kris, Thanks a million for the Chucho de Roto link. It was fascinating.

Heriberto and Ivonne are hilarious together. It's funny how he brings his country viewpoint and applies it to the DF. He's a complete macho pig of course, but slightly more tolerable these days.

Schoolmarm, it's true, a lot has happened and things are moving along at a fast clip. There are still too many Paula scenes however. I guess there have been signs but I kept hoping that she would be redeemed as so many telenovela heroines are. It ain't happening though.

Now Nidia is another story. She started out as a villain but has done a great job of becoming a sympathetic character. I'm really rooting for her to come out on top. I feel she deserves happiness.

Thank Keel Hauler, I look forward to the rest of your recap. I can't wait to read your take on Kike's confrontation.
 

Yes, "K", I want to thank you for that Chucho Roto link as well, as I lounged around last night, I thought, sure hope K knows who that is! And you did.
And Schoolmarm, whew...yes, Paula is paranoid. Let's face it, the woman needs to be on medication, the heavy duty kind. Lord, bring on the redemption or edit her out, I'm sick of the screeching.
 

I, too, must reluctantly renounce my palomita! She joined the asshat brigade big time when she dumped on sweet Marely!

I can't imagine anything that will redeem her now that she has burned her bridges with everyone.

But, there's always CL!
 

Hi all, I forgot I have a play to see tonight. I hear it's good (meaning I won't slip out at intermission) which means I might be late on posting my recap; maybe not until tomorrow night depending upon how late I get home tonight.
 

we all seem to be in agreement on Paula being beyond redemption. When i watched her ream Marely tjhe second time, that was it for me. And for her toaccuse Juan of being in on it, double THAT"S IT!. Gotta go, there is a familiar theme song on the tube....dorado dave
 

Heh, "Kike Pacmanned or Mario'd his way through"...I knew you wouldn't disappoint me Kris.

Ah, our Juan ever the cock-eyed optimist. Imagine thinking one could get educated enough to run a business by using a finance book with pictures. If anyone can it is Juan Dominguez.

Yadi looks good with bangs.

Thanks Kris!!
 

This is for Jeanne Q...found your question on blog line from day before. Juanito's mother was one of Juan's "amores" in his old pueblo of Achichipico. She left (possibly before she knew she was pregnant), had the baby on her own, later died, and Juanito was being raised by his maternal grandmother.
Juan didn't know of his existence until he returned to Achichipico and, I believe, Dona Delfina told him. He goes to granny's house, out in the country, he and little Juanito reunite and from then on they're a team....except for one other trip by Juan to Mexico city. Little Juanito feared dad wouldn't come back but he did. At least one happy ending so far!
 

Yes, Paranoid Delusional Disorder, that's Paula all right. Gah, it's frustrating to watch that witch rant uncontrollably.

Re: Thursday's recap, I watched the episode, I took the notes, and I will post tonight after work. Thanks for your patience!
 

Sylvia...you are always worth waiting for! And there was waaaaay too much Paula last night, I don't envy you one bit.
If you fast forward through all her rants though, it will cut your work load....just sayin'
 

Cap'n Sharkbait, savoring your recap over a weekend (when I may actually have time for a change, sitting in an airport) will be a treat!

Jeanne
 

Hee I love it when you are late Sylvia!! Gives me more time on my recaps that often dwindle in, so no worries here either!! PS I added some fun links and corrected a few things just now, so feel free to check those out!! Ribera Joe...asshat club, that's funny! Who'd think our "heroine" would be joining those ranks, but man she sure is guilty by association at the very least!!!
 

K - Thanks for the wonderful link filled recap! I don't know for sure why we keep recapping this ass-hat woman and her idiotic ways but guess it's just from habit. It's hard to find soft places to land in these episodes for the last several days.
I love how Juanito stays right in close with his Papa and how Juan has become a dependable and great Papa to be adored. At least Baby Nidia is really pretty and cute, we've seen some astoundingly ugly or homely baby actors on these telenovelas. Baby Nid is super cute. I'm glad she yelled her little head off the other night and kept Nacho awake while dream a little dream Mom ignored them both.

Let's see Ana is super cool about her new upcoming fame and trying to keep her daughter from being a complete jerk (alas to no avail) and Angarita is being supportive of NIdia in a wonderful way but I hate how he dis's his brother and is intolerant of him (gives us old people a bad and underserved reputation).
 

Thanks, I added another link. I knew this condition was exemplary of Pau's behavior but I didn't realize how right on it is until I looked it up for this link....SCARY!!!!
 

Anon # 1 , Paula has on close toe heels, as she goes to "bless" Juan's soul.....you all know my theory....

Here it is if you have forgotten; close toe Jaun- Open toe CL

P.S. This show is starting to get on my nerves...they are back to being unreal again.
 

Kris, thanks a million for your extra links. Wow, I can't believe how your link on Paranoid Delusional Disorder perfectly describes Paula. So I guess she's got the Mixed variety, eh?

Cool link of Betty Davis eyes, quite the coincidence!

I keep forgetting to look at Paula's shoes. Guess I'm fast forwarding too quickly through her scenes.

Cheryl, I agree about the cute kids on this show. Usually telenovela kids are super-dopy and can't act. Juanito is a prize and Nidia Micaela stole my heart night she kept Nacho awake with her howling.
 

Thanks Judy B for setting me straight!I must of missed that or my esposo did not want to transalate for me that nite, Thanks for filling me in, Jeanne Q
