Yo Amo a Juan 28 April Monday - Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun

Alternate Title: The Tiburon Who Was Given Back By the Tiburones.

Angarita comes up to Yadira at the shop. He is so pleased with her bookkeeping ability with proud Kike looking on. Yadira is grateful for the job. Angarita tells her to knock off for the day and get an early start tomorrow morning like always.

Juan reminds Paula that she has a right to all her dead husbands belongings and she should fight for recovery of everything. She repeats tha she has so much guilt over Cesar Luis' death. As they discuss her guilt or lack of it. the clever Cachibombo song signals Juan's cell phone with Laura on the other end wondering if he is coming over tonight. Paula can tell it is a woman, in fact we can hear her voice too. Paula struts off and pretends when Juan catches up with her that its' okay they are just business partners, she feigns disinterest in his private life in one sentence then immediately continues to question him trying to find out who this is. She enters the elevator and turns to snidely tell his back, have fun with you amigaaaa.

How did things go at the gallery says Paula as she enters Ana's house. Ana has been distracted all day because of all the things that are going on. Paula sits down with a sigh, she has more news that will leave Ana cold... Sandro Arenas appeared! So quickly? Who is he? The twin brother of Cesar Luis.

Juan comes into Dona Pepita who is also worried but about Lorenzo. He won't eat, he's going to die, going to die.

Paula says his appearance made her faint Ana is on to CL, Are you sure it isn't CL in a disguise personality. Given that it is Cesar Luis, we have a caged cat here (something suspicious) she also advise Paula to remember who not so long ago CL was sweet talking both you and Monica (repartiendo mieles). Paula said at first she thought so too but before the notary will hand out the inheritance all Sandro's documentation must be proven. There is something so essentially different between Sandro and Cesar Luis. What a shock says Ana. What did Juan think? He was as shocked as I was. Changing the subject, Ana advises Paula to take this as an opportunity to start a new life. Paula isn't so sure and reports that besides, Juan has another woman.

Juan tries to enter Lorenzo's study to talk him out of his profound funk. Lorenzo doesn't want to recover, nor see or talk to anyone. Juan persists with his cheery insistence

Paula has many things to resolve at Farell and Ana thinks there are many things to resolve in her life. She urges Paula to fight for Juan since she loves him before it is to late, like tomorrow.

Juan comes home to greet Juanito who is busy with his homework. Juan thinks how this love for his son makes all the problems of the day fade in comparison. He proudly tells Papa that he was almost expelled and is being made an example and has had to write until his hands hurt. And, that's not the worst thing Papa, tomorrow if Flor doesn't come to school in her uniform she will be expelled. Juan gives his famous chinches expletives and says we'll fix that straight away tomorrow. Juanito hugs and thanks him with love.

Over at Nacho's he is making a nervous call to Angarita's store. He is told by Remolacho that Yadira and everyone left quite a while ago. Nacho expresses concern for Yadi since she hasn't arrived home yet. He is told not to worry, she is in good hands, she's with HER HUSBAND. Nacho let's out a gasp. We break.

Now Nacho is calling Nidia, She tells her Yadi isn't there. He asks if perchance Enrique is there. No, he's not either. She, not too kindly reminds him that she is married to Enrique and he tries to bluster that Yadira is HIS woman. He's insulted, she suggest he not call in that case. Further she adds that a woman in love doesn't have to be chased after. She hangs up telling him, until never, señor! Nacho slams the phone alone in his apartment. Nidia is now not alone as a giddy Yadira and Enrique come in. Nidia tells her that Topete called all conceited like a Roman Emperor and she had to hang up on him. Yadira calls Nacho and expresses, well attitude. He screams where have you been. She tells him to turn down the volume first, she will make an appearance when it very well suits her. Kike is grinning in the background for not being the brunt of this treatment. Nacho threatens, if she persists with this plan... she hangs up on him. He calls back in great agitation to a busy signal.

Gaytan is cheering the bedridden Yvonne with visions of the chaos erupting at Farell with all the clients and suppliers calling hysterically over the news of Cesar Luis. Yvonne calmly accepts whatever he says. It will have to be fixed. Gaytan says our ex-boss,Cesar Luis, had a Pandora's box which was opened today. All his money and his apartment was left to his brother. Not only does he have one, they are twins. Sandro Arenas, Gaytan goes on is an exact copy of Cesar Luis (copia calca - both words mean copy)

The happy Cachon household is at the big dinning table having a festive meal Nidia proposes that they go out to party to celebrate that they don't have to lose the house. Everyone has excuses. Marely has to work early, Juan has to help a friend who has problems, Yadira has nothing to wear and doesn't want more trouble with Señor Topete, Enrique wants to take care of his baby daughter and who is going to watch Juanito. Nidia wants to go out on the town and dance/ shake those sandals (sacudir el huarache). Nidia's great solution is that Marely can go without sleep and party until it is time to go to work. For Juan she suggest bringing the troubled friend along since dancing will fix all problems. Yadira can wear something of her sister's and tell Topete to go say Mass. Just as Alirio walks in and joins the table. Nidia greets him really too sweetly and says all our problems are solved.

Yvonne tells Gaytan that this story sounds like a telenovela. He agrees that reality surpasses fiction. Gaytan has to go off to have dinner with his brother. Yvonne is so glad Gaitan has his company again. He kisses her forehead and leaves just as Fernando comes in to greet Ivonne.

Monica is finally talking with Paula after waiting all day for her call. It can't be true that CL is dead. Paula recounts how it was her fault that CL went away very depressed. Monica cries that she only sold her shares to Juan to teach CL a lesson, it must be her fault.

Juan and Juanito do a little dance to demonstrate how Juan is going to cheer up Professor Lorenzo.

Yadira is ripping through Marely's wardrobe tossing everything aside. Marely lectures her that Enrique is still so in love with her. Yadira says oh yeah, the men are lining up to be with me. Things are very clear between her and Enrique. Kike lives to be with her, Marely warns don't make illusions if all that will be left afterward is smoke. A break.

Juan explains to Doña Pepita how his Cachibombo lessons will be like a doctor's treatment to break the professor's depression. Cachi what?? It's a happiness (alegria) , a hulabaloo (algarabia, remind me to tell you how cool the magazine Algarabia is, a little of everything).

Alirio is complaining that he is always being treated like a second class citizen, always set aside from family things. Nidia defends herself, tonight she is going to correct this isolation and he is going to be right back in the center near the baby and spending time Juanitio. How? In the role of grandfather. Alirio starts to back pedal but Nidia can pedal much faster. She accuses him of being afraid of the children.

Juan is twisting Lorenzo's arm to get him out on the town and out of his doldrums.

Angarita and Gaytan try to talk about Anga's fear, no terror of Gaytan's ways. Gaytan thinks they will becomes fossils if they don't change.

Lorenzo is dressing while Josefina fusses about his medicine, the dangers of drinking, the dangers of women that will lead him astray, she really does nag him to death. It's a sorry sight for both of them.

New scene, the gang walks into a mirror ball haven with disco music, lights, happy party people. Enrique is telling Yadira he doesn't know this place, it was recommended by Remolache just as a waiter greets him like a close friend and asks if he wants his usual table. Everyone is excited except Marely is worried her mother will drink and orders them both diet soda, Juan orders a bottle of tequila and Lorenzo orders an eggnog (Rompope, ever had one Maricruz?) Juan gets everyone up to dance.

Sandro is pacing in front of the Suites Sevilla. He twitches and tics his way into one of the suites to meet, HELLO Cesar Luis, who is swirling ice cubes in a whiskey glass just emptied beside an almost burnt cigarette. He greet a nervous Sandro. We break then come back to CL berating Sandro for waiting so long to come back. He presses for details of how Sandro was received. Sandro assures him that everyone thinks he has ended up in the belly of a shark. Details!! How did they react, were they suspicious, doubting? Well, Juan was, he looked and looked but Sandro produced all his ID documents then.. And Paula how did she react? She fainted. Wicked giggle, giggle. Sandro wants to know if Cesar Luis isn't worried that he will just collect his inheritance and take off? Cesar Luis says no, there are two reasons my dear Sandro. First you are trustworthy, aren't capable of doing that. And second?? Sandro turns down the offered cigarette. You are actually an ambitious person who want much more than this inheritance, much more. You are not going to betray me. Sandro admits that CL knows him well. So then you also know that I have also resented you so much. You never were with me, never helped me, never let me in your social group or your life. You never shared your financial successes. CL counters with do you want me to cry, get on my knees. No I'm not into drama. You will be rich by tomorrow, you'll have a new house. You accepted the deal. I am offering you much more than the money. You can make a new start, have a new future. Why do you want to destroy those two? Me destroy them? It is they who destroyed me. The only thing I am seeking is justice to recuperate what I lost. What is that, the love, the company? No, my dignity, my dignity.

Juan and Kike try to talk in the noisy disco about love and women. Kike says women change and turn you into a slave, a tin robot (robot hojolato) Juan notices things are warming between Kike and Yadira again. Kike says it depends on what happens tonight if a new direction will be taken in their romance. They begin to observe Nidia and professor Lorenzo. Kike worries that Nidia will get wild near the alcohol.

Sandro and Cesar Luis with tension and absolutely no brotherly love showing plan out Sandro's emotional assault to conquer Farell and all the doubters. He is so shy that he spent as much time alone as he could. CL is not satisfied. Tomorrow Sandro goes to the notary to secure the money and house. You must convince them. Sandro doesn't think it will be too hard.

Alirio rocks a screaming baby while Juanito watches amused. He tries crying, the baby only cries harder. She likes Alirio about as much as she liked Nacho.

Back to CL berating Sandro. He wants to get out of this hotel and into the apartment. Sandro will have to follow his directions exactly. He has signed a deal with the devil, can he do it? His real task is to make Paula fall in love with him. That is the vengeance that CL really wants, for Paula to feel the same pain that he did.

Ana tucks Paula in giving her a pep talk about her future happiness. They discuss that Paula has talked to the lawyer and cancelled the divorce proceedings. Ana further encourages her to talk to Juan and tell him of her feelings.

Back at the disco. Juan and Nidia are holding up the spirit. Marely can barely hold up her eyelids. Lorenzo starts to get in party mood and be charmed by the outrageios Nidia.

Nacho calls Alirio who lies that Yadira left the house to head for home over two hours ago. He suggest perhaps he wants to call the authorities if he is worried.

Disco time, Enrique and Yadira talk about what fun they had when courting. but Enrique points out that the good times actually ended before the wedding. He tells her he loves her still, but she says she doesn't but then grabs his face and charms him like her mother is charming Lorenzo. Marely chides her Mamita for flirting so outrageously with Lorenzo. Nidia chides Marely for not having the nerve to be more forward with Juan. Nidia can't resist an intellectual man. She just can't help herself. She is weak with no willpower....

Our parting shot of Cesar Luis on the carpet with his drink and cigarette as he plots his revenge. He can't wait to see her face when she has to pay the bill (factura).

Next: Yadira and Nidia pressure Marely to show Juan she cares.

Thanks Cheryl! I have been fast-forwarding more since this ridiculous twin plot started, I can't take any more twins (or any more baby-switching), so I appreciate the recap!
 

thanks for the quick recap, Cheryl. I was a bit distracted in the middle of the show, and the recap filled it in nicely. Alexis is doing a marvelous job portraying the two different twins, (maybe he is schitzo in real life). My latest theory on the plot is that Sandro and Paula fall for each other, leaving the evil, nasty CL doubly miserable, and Juan available for MARELY!! Are they setting us up for both Marely and Paula making their pitches at Juan?...Isn't Pepita a nag?? i don't remember her as such a pest. Seems like Lorenzo is even more suffering now, after having spent years with her, no wonder Nidia is appealing to him now. dorado dave
 

just checking the system, couldn't post using my blogger id
 

Oh, I was praying they wouldn't do the twin thing, but here we are. On the positive side, as someone already mentioned, it does give Alexis Ayala the opportunity to show off his acting skills which should be fun to watch.

I loved watching Topete blow his stack. The actor is a master at seething. Telephones sure get the brunt of the anger in these shows, no?

Dorado Dave, you really should be a telenovela writer. I like your version much better than what I fear will happen. Yes Pepita is a total nag; what happened to the cultured charm school advisor that she was when we first met her?

Thanks for the recap Cheryl! Are you exhausted after doing Friday's Pasion and now JQ? You deserve a rest.
 

yeah, Sharkbait, that was the former impression of Pepite that I had; I was thinking that it was only my perception that had changed, i'm glad that that wasn't the case. Just one of the tricks the writers throw at us. I hope that it is intentional, and not haphazard writing...This good twin/bad twin business reminds me of the first telenovela that hooked me, La Usupadora, with Colunga and Gabriela Spanick. Must have been 8 years ago
 

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I feel emotioally drained from Pasion so couldn't quite take flight with as many wisecracks as I like to add, but thought fast was a better choice given my week rolling out of art show preparations. Thanks Sylvia, I guess there's no rest for the wicked, so my Mom used to say.

Congratulations!! Dorado Dave! You are up and registered. How wonderful, you have become a great commenter whose humorous, irreverent take on things I always look forward to. I think you will find the main advantage to registering is you don't have to remember your name! To add it I mean. No sometimes it's just to help remember it...

Twins! Ugh, what more can we say about twins. At least it is easy to guess which one is the evil twin, so far.
 

humorous? irreverant? How's this for an addage to "no rest for the wicked" (followed by) "And the righteous don't deserve it!" I can't take credit for that one. The latter was a comeback was given to me by an old, old lady as a response to my former statement. I hope that makes sense, when it happened, I just had to stop work and laugh for a while...
 

OK, I laughed hysterically when someone said that CL was in panza of the tiburon. I thought, OK sharkbait, can we call him sharkbait now? They just did! how funny. Loathing the twin idea though. Oh well. And darn, all that Vancouver bus I was looking forward. What were they there for like 10 minutes maybe, tops, not even a quarter of an episode!!!? I couldn't believe it!!! They rode a trolley and walked a dock. How could that have been worth the production expense????? Oh well.

Thanks Cheryl and thanks Jeanne and welcome back for your lovely and thorough Friday recap!
 

one thing puzzles me about the vancouver intro scene- ther is a shot of Willy- what's that all about? Maybe the actor had to pay his own way, or are they not done in B.C.?
 

Cheryl, another terrific recap and back to back with the Friday Pasion finale, too! Great job! Thanks for the wonderful vocab, too, which was befuddling me in some cases.

Is Nacho not understanding that Yadi is a princess? What is WRONG with that guy? Aside from arrogance, etc., that is.

“She tells him to turn down the volume first, she will make an appearance when it very well suits her. Kike is grinning in the background for not being the brunt of this treatment.” I loved the look on Kike’s face in this one.

“How? In the role of grandfather. Alirio starts to back pedal but Nidia can pedal much faster.” LOL!

“Back to CL berating Sandro. He wants to get out of this hotel and into the apartment.” Like no one is going to notice there are two of them at some point or other—even if CL changes his hair and wears glasses? I realize this is the D. F. and it’s huge, but on the other hand, all our main characters kept running into each other in this huge city.

Great recap Cheryl, Last night was the LA Lakers playoffs game and I had to let hubby watch. I could have gone to the TV in my room, but that is our family TV time and they (hubby and sons) watch with me, so I had to do watch with them, besides I enjoy playoffs and the Lakers won! Anyway, yes Cheryl I have had rompope since the tender age of 10. I had an old maiden aunt that I loved to go visit, her house was small but very neat and comfy, and there always was a tiny glass of rompope for me. When I grew older I learned to make my own rompope I even added a little sugar cane alcohol to it. Alas it has been so long that I can't even remember the recipe.
 

Maricruz, what a lovely memory from childhood! That definitely sounds like a recipe I would like.....

:-)

Jeanne
