I Love Juan, Thurs 5/29 - An unholy alliance is formed
Ahoy all,
We do the best we can but we don't always get it right. Corrections and suggestions are very welcome.
We begin with a repeat of Willy and Ana's kiss (boring) and Juan popping off on Papa Paris for trying to deny Hillary her freedom in life and in love. Papa Plutarco Paris is muy, pero muy impactado. Juan thinks he looks like he's got something stuck in his gullet.
Willy and Ana pretty much do a tourism commercial for British Columbia. We see a plane overhead signifying they are headed back to Mexico. Guess the BC sleuthing theory is a bust.
Willy drops Ana off at home and Ana tells Paula that she is engaged. Paula is stunningly beautiful when she smiles, a rare treat.
Juan takes Juanito and Flor out for an ice cream treat and thought bubbles that he really pinched the monkey's tail with Plutarco Paris. He looks at the kiddies and thinks how nice it is when love is requited.
Ana apologizes to Paula for not telling her sooner how she felt about Willy. Paula is all "you're kidding right? I knew even before you did, I'm your daughter and your best friend." They admire Ana's ring.
Juan goes to Farell and tells himself he's going to distance himself from Paula by accepting "Sandro's" offer. He boldly strides into the office, then decides to put on the brakes so he doesn't appear too eager. He thought bubbles that deep down inside he still wasn't sure he wanted to separate himself from his Palomita forever. Way to make up your mind Juan.
S2 (fake Sandro) tells Laura that since they are both new at Farell they should form an alliance. He asks for a complete list of all personnel including salaries and everything else, but he needs her to do this without Pastor's knowledge. The wardrobe assassin/HR clerk from hell immediately agrees but wants to know why. S2 replies it's because he needs to drastically cut costs and he's going to fire a lot of people.
Laura pretty much only cares about her position. S2 assures her that she's safe, they are a team, right? He adds that the VP of Personnel (Pastor) is on the list and wouldn't Laura love to have his position? "Hell yeah" she grins, baring her fangs like a hungry hyena.
Ivonne asks Marely if she remembers the name of the agent that came to tell Paula about CL's death. She makes up some lame excuse and asks Marely to find the name and number.
A group of people are outside "Sandro's" office. They go in one by one and each comes out weeping or angry.
Pastor is the next to be dressed down. S2 tells him that based on his past indiscretions, i.e. the embezzling and pirated software, Pastor should be the first to lose his job. Pastor reminds him that CL gave him another chance and he begs for the opportunity to prove himself. S2 grudgingly agrees but points out that Pastor will be on probation and will most likely lose his job.
It's Fer's turn to be run over. S2 insults Fer regarding his journey from chauffeur to applying for the VP job. S2 says bottom line, Fer's salary is not appropriate to his current job, he makes too much. "Are you going to fire me?" asks Fer. S2 prefers to rephrase it, based on his evaluation of the staff, at this time the staff is not aligned with the commercial interests of the company.
Ivonne is next on the gurney. In short, S2 tells her it was inappropriate of someone in her position to take such a long vacation. She reminds him it was a personal leave, she had a sore throat operation. S2 accuses her of lying and hanging out on the beach. Ivonne becomes indignant, Paula and Pastor visited her in the hospital! S2 says a doctor's excuse is missing from her file and it's likely her services will no longer be needed.
Marely is up to bat. S2 starts in on his spiel but Marely cuts him short. She tells him to stuff it because she's leaving that very day! He watches her retreating backside with a new look, a touch of respect perhaps? Nah, it's probably pure lechery.
Heri is the next calf to be slaughtered. He tells S2 that he's not done learning the business skills he needs to take back to the ranch. S2 doesn't want to hear Heri's life story. Fine, says Heri, let's not waste our breath like pulque in the cantina. He says he's not an employee but rather a partner. S2 laughs and points out that Heri's daddy's money accounts for less than a half percent of the company and Heri can get out right now. Poor Heriberto, for the first time he is mute.
Yadi and Angarita are in her apartment. She begs him to go back to work. He doesn't want the market to turn into a war zone. She promises to keep her lip zipped and he stupidly agrees. God help him she can come back to work.
Heri goes to Pastor's office to complain about being fired. How will he pay for all his new clothes? Worse still, he was on the verge of having Ivonne, the light of his eyes, in his arms! Pastor vows that neither Paula nor Juan will allow such an injustice.
At the playground, I mean the marketplace Anga and Yadi go over some paperwork together. Kike sees Anga's arm around Yadi's waist and coughs to get their attention. They barely notice.
Ivonne and Fer commiserate about "Sandro's" threatening behavior. How could he do these things without consulting the bosses?
Kike uses the phone on Yadi's desk to make a romantic phone call. He gets all sweetie pie and blows kisses to his mystery novia while Yadi fumes. When she snipes at him he says it's no worse than what she and Anga are doing. Anga tries to reason with him, no more arguments please. Kike blurts out that he needs the job but soon he'll fly far away.
Fer tells a shocked Paula what "Sandro" has been up to and that he seemed very well prepared with salary and performance information. Paula can't believe he would do such a thing. Fer tells her that the guy already fired half the world, she has to do something!
Kike and Juan are big rig shopping and looking at a bright yellow truck the same color as Juan's shirt. Kike is worried, will Juan really be able to afford one of these bright new trucks? Juan assures him, since when has Juan Dominguez had a problem with money? (I am always suspicious when people answer a question with a question.) Juan spies a white truck, he polishes and kisses this Palomito Blanco. He tries out the drivers seat and imagines a smiling Paula, then Marely, then Hillary sitting beside him. Back to reality, it's actually Kike bouncing up and down on the seat next to him. Juan gleefully honks the horn.
Laura leans over S2's desk displaying her feminine attributes. She reports that the secretaries are in tears and everyone is talking about his threats. Must he resort to such drastic measures? He coldly tells her it's the only way to save the business. She stares at him oddly and says he sounds just like CL. When he offers her is unconditional frienship she smiles diabolically.
Juan and Kike go to the taco stand where Juan tells his buddy all about his altercation with Papa Paris. He really told that snobby millionaire off! Juan mimics Papa Paris, "You are not allowed to see that Juan Dominguez!" Kike asks Juan will he stop seeing Hillary? Juan's only answer is to tell Kike to eat his tacos.
Paula goes off on "Sandro" for not respecting people and not treating them as they deserve to be treated. (Interesting, coming from her.) She won't allow all those people to lose their jobs! He says he hates it too but hard decisions must be made to save the company. He's objectively evaluating staff (only the people aligned with Juan we notice) and she has to have confidence in him.
The Lizards have gathered outside the office awaiting Paula's word. Paula assures them that Sandro is merely evaluating the situation, nothing more, she'll find a solution. Pastor leads the battle cry, "He's going to sack us all!"
Marely finds Ivonne crying in the bathroom. Ivonne doesn't know what she'll do if she gets fired and loses her medical benefits. Marely is sure that Paula will never let that happen.
Juan and Kike return to the hellmouth, aka Farell. Kike flirts with Julia who seems to have forgotten about the sackings.
Fer tells Juan what the imbecile "Sandro" did. Juan is muy impactado...QUE??? Fer says that he, Pastor and Heri are all going to the chopping block. Paula gave them some lip service, she talked to "Sandro" but then came out with her tail between her feet. She said things but she promised nada. Juan vows that the people of Juan Dominguez of Achichipico are untouchable!
Marely complains to Paula about "Sandro", worst of all she found Ivonne crying. Paula clucks indignantly.
Pastor tells Juan that "Sandro" blacklisted him, he was treated worse than the soles on "Sandro's" shoes. Juan thought bubbles furiously that he's got to stop this guy right now!
Juan goes to Paula's office and launches into an impressively long tirade about the new VP's antics. Paula tries to get a word in but with each breath Juan blusters with renewed vigor. He works himself into a frenzy and finally stands up to leave. Paula blurts out "Can I speak?" Juan shouts, "No you cannot!" Paula insists, she tells him he's right. He looks shocked. She repeats, yes he's completely right and they can't allow Sandro to do these things. Juan tells her she's created a monster.
Juan and Paula confront "Sandro". He insists to Juan that they have to cut staff by at least 30% if the company is to survive, otherwise they will all lose their jobs, all of them! Juan is impactado.
Marely whispers to Fer that "Sandro" told Paula he wants to fire Ivonne. (There is a serious lack of confidentiality in this company.) Fer comments that once again Ivonne has stumbled. We see Ivonne in the background as Fer explains himself...he saw Ivonne leave work and go to "Sandro's" apartment. What she did with CL she is now repeating with his twin. Marely is impactada. Fer stalks off as Marely stares uncomfortably at Ivonne.
Juan instructs "Sandro" that firing people is too easy a solution. He insists that a company's greatest value is its human capital. S2 replies that they can't ignore concrete measurements (medidas concretas). Juan is confused, measurements in chalk? (medidas con cretas) Juan pretends to understand as S2 continues...you know, concrete measurements, i.e. practical solutions, just how does Juan suggest utilizing this great human capital? Uh oh, Juan thought bubbles, now he has to make something up on the fly.
Juan says they should employ the concept of Productividad en Lineas Cruzadas (Crossed Line Productivity, Juan crosses his arms to demonstrate), aka PLC, just like they do in China. S2 is skeptical, he's never heard of it. Oh yes, Juan continues, he read about it in a magazine article, it's a new concept used in emerging economics to avoid massive layoffs. Paula agrees with Juan that they should try PLC before firing anyone from Farell. She and Juan nod in agreement. S2 squints his eyes and looks like wants a cigarette and a drink, and any similarity to real life is purely coincidental.
Tomorrow: Juan tries to kiss Marely? Dude, give the poor girl a break! Paula weeps.

Love the vocabulary Sylvia. Sacarse algo de la manga was the only one I knew beforehand.
Missed last night's episode and now I'm glad. It sounded really unpleasant.
My daughter and I went to see Made of Honor (stupid movie) because it was the last one Sydney Pollack was in.
Fell in love with the guy in Tootsie and never recovered. Great director and actor...gone too soon. Fortunately my youngest likes him as much as I do.

Thanks for the quick recap, sharkbait. Seems like some holes are opening up in the storyline. When is Ivonne gonna let CL know that she's on to him- then his threats to her would evaporate. I wonder how the revelation of CL's reincarnation is going to be exposed. One thing that I did like that happened was that Marely was in the passenger seat, and that CL's evil twin/acomplice (Laura), waasn't. When, oh when is the ultimo capitulo? I want to shake this addiction, and reclaim my evenings, especially now with the longer days!
Yes, it truly IS an addiction. I'm amazed at how initially upset I am to have missed one stupid episode.
And at this time of year, one does need to be outside soaking up nature and the relatively fresh air.
I have a large yard that seems to get out of control if I neglect it for even a few days so be strong Judy be strong!

JudyB thanks for tagging my post. I was so tired last night (this morning) that I forgot. The episode wasn't so much unpleasant as it was repetitive. If I made it sound unpleasant then it's probably because I'm WEARY of the same old same old. The Talking Heads line "Same as it ever was" kept running through my head and could be the alternate title.
There are so many holes in this plot line that sometimes I can't believe what I'm writing down when I recap!
I was most distressed by the preview for tonight. I want Marely to leave right now but it looks like Juan might convince her to stay. Gah! Dorado Dave you might be eating tapas alone in Spain.

Actually, Sylvia, I was thinking that he might sell to "Sandro", and going with her. Then, they might have a spinoff TN. ARRRGGGHHH
Dorado Dave, I would like to know when the "ultimo capitulo" will be....Is tonight's show a 2 hour episode? And Tape the show D.D., that way your can watch it at a later time, or a day or two later.
I must say, I am going to miss Paula, she looks so cute these last few episodes, that I am going to miss seeing her "upper torso" formally "m.....k" A commeter said she is on another show later at night, then I am staying up to watch(well maybe set the VCR), I will miss this show, but at the same time, I am ready for it to end....People can't be as slow as the folks at Ferrall Ind. CL should have been busted some time ago.....
As I told Export RED, I will probably not be around after JQ, unless another Telenovelas, peaks my interest, with as many pretty women as JQ.

Keep in touch.....

JudyB, call on my good friend, Mr. John Deere, for help with your large yard! He lets me drink beer while we work. If only he could shoot pool...
Unholy indeed. Arggh, that bugged me. The previews bugged me too. I like the idea of Marely being around, but man Juan...don't you think your lovelife is complicated enough? Let's see where this goes...
Ahhh, the sacking. You are a trooper for sticking through all that nonsense. And what bunk that we only got kissy scenes in Victoria. Que the hell? I guess the production just had some extra bucks to spend so blew it on Canada? Or maybe they got a grant from the BC Tourism Bureau to feature the location because really, so far the plot could have done without that completely. Just weird.
Anyway, thanks sharkbait for staying up late and powering through. Oh, and I think it's concrete "measures" instead of "measurements," like taking steps towards accomplishing something instead of the mathematical term. Though Juan's take was probably meant to be the mathematical term, which I guess is where the funny was supposed to be. I'm cluing in to this writer's MO as they seem to repeat this formula often, just with different words that his bad naco self confuses the double meanings for.

Anon #1.. that was me, and yes I think it's at 1 am or 12 am central, and you'll probably only want to tape it once. Unless you are really wide awake with nothing else to do, you might not even want to stay up for it. You'll see. :)
Hey Mike and Emilia...no drinking while driving! Well, I guess one beer won't hurt.
A riding mower wouldn't work for our yard because there are some steep hills...with my luck I'd probably tip over and cut off some vital appendage.
Mostly I seem to spend my time digging out sneaky groundcover in the beds that take over and then encroach into grass as well.
Tiresome but it gets me outside and that's where God's chillun are meant to me on nice days and evening.

re: medidas concretas- my take of it was that Juan took what was inteded to be meant as "solid methods, or intentional measures", to mean "measurements/markings with chalk" He repeated it at least once, but I don't remember reading what the captioning said. Just another goofy play with words, showing how unsophistaced our hero is. Then, he follows with his "PLC" business, and Paula actually agrees with him?! This show is just getting goofier...
Oh dear Judy, I just had a comical image flash of a tipped over lawnmower, wheels spinning in the air, and a sprawled out person trying to recover from the spill. Sometimes my imagination goes over board. How funny!
Thanks y'all with your input regarding "medidas concretas". That one had me stumped for a while; I had to play it over several times before the light bulb went on over my head.
Hey Fuego...that's not your imagination...those riding mower disasters actually happen!...and with my luck, even stone cold sober...well..
Anon #1...There are few things in life that are "guarenteed" but one thing that is...is that telenovelas will always have beautiful, bosomy women in them. Now mind you, they may not be as dazzling as Mayrin, but they will be beautiful and well-equipped...it's a "sina qua non" for Hispanic TV. Gotta love those guys running the network.

Cap’n Sylvia, thanks for the great recap, full of your humorous asides—and I am SO glad to know what gastar saliva means—I had awful pictures in my head! Great title!
“Guess the BC sleuthing theory is a bust.” Yeah, rats. Looks like the BC connection was just some well-placed tourism photo ops for the province. At least they saved a little by filming multiple plot lines in BC.
“Paula is stunningly beautiful when she smiles, a rare treat.” Do you reckon we’ll get a smile for the last fifteen minutes of the Gran Final? Would that be too much to hope for?
“Paula is all "you're kidding right? I knew even before you did, I'm your daughter and your best friend."” Which leads us to wonder why the heck she isn’t listening to Ana about how much she loves Juan.
“he still wasn't sure he wanted to separate himself from his Palomita forever. Way to make up your mind Juan.” LOL! He really is wishy-washy where Paula’s involved.
“The wardrobe assassin/HR clerk from hell” LOL!
“wouldn't Laura love to have his position? "Hell yeah" she grins, baring her fangs like a hungry hyena.” LOL! She is so evil, this woman! Hyena is a great description of her.
“S2 insults Fer regarding his journey from chauffeur to applying for the VP job.” What IS this thing on the novelas where the rich are so patronizing and demeaning to the “hired help?” Sheesh.
“Marely cuts him short. She tells him to stuff it because she's leaving that very day! He watches her retreating backside with a new look, a touch of respect perhaps? Nah, it's probably pure lechery.” LOL! Marely was fantastic! This was the best scene in the entire show, and CL had a really funny look when she did it. Good for Marely—she caught him way off guard.
“At the playground, I mean the marketplace” LOL! Where very little real work gets done. Makes you wonder how Anga’s so wealthy, doesn’t it? Yadi’s a little old to be sitting on Daddy’s lap, IMHO.
“He's objectively evaluating staff (only the people aligned with Juan we notice)” LOL. Yep. But most everyone there is aligned with Juan, because he’s ever so much nicer than CL ever was to the hired peons.
“Juan tells her she's created a monster.” I had to laugh at that—they didn’t create this monster, they only think they did. THIS one always WAS a monster.
Mike, I like your yard work style.

“Guess the BC sleuthing theory is a bust.” Yeah, rats. Looks like the BC connection was just some well-placed tourism photo ops for the province. At least they saved a little by filming multiple plot lines in BC.
“Paula is stunningly beautiful when she smiles, a rare treat.” Do you reckon we’ll get a smile for the last fifteen minutes of the Gran Final? Would that be too much to hope for?
“Paula is all "you're kidding right? I knew even before you did, I'm your daughter and your best friend."” Which leads us to wonder why the heck she isn’t listening to Ana about how much she loves Juan.

Agreed on the buxom latinas. Rarely shortages of them in the novelas for sure, though they are definitely fousing more on the upper torso in this one than in others where there is a tendency to focus on the lower assets. Course I must say, novelas do very well in the masculine department too. Good solid sexy hardworking guys, I tell ya. Rarely any of these skinny intellectual types that while you can get into romaticising about their charming character it's much harder to appreciate them simply for their meat. See we have Fer, but Fuego.....yow...there is some simple fun! Sometimes simple is all you need!! :)
The coming attractions started getting advertised tonight on Juan and it sure didn't look interesting.
Looks like we may be recapping a real dog next time. Oh well....

Sylvia, Thanks so much for the super recap. I too missed last night off meeting with my classmates from the wild horse workshop to compare pictures. That was a joy. Unlike the misery of this sad story these days. I think I wouldn't have liked seeing CL/S2 be so ugly with everyone. I am glad Marely had a snappy come back though.
I feel a loss for Sydney Pollack too. What a great talent.

Yep, definitely looks like Querida Enemiga will be next in the 7:00 p.m. timeslot. One of the protagonistas is supposed to be a chef; maybe we'll get some good recipes out of the deal.
On the ad I saw for Querida Enemiga, I thought it said coming at 9:00 Central time, so it would replace something else here. But, it could be my imagination.
Recipes would be a good thing. Another Duelo would be annoying.

It used to be easy to get here to caray,but I had to go thru hell and half of Georgia to get over here..Mi amigas, who changed the easiness of signing on here..?
Juan kissing Marely..? That's too much,as he's sorta been throwing her a bone from day one(no pun intended)? She needs to get on a jet plane heading to Spain a.s.a.p..Juan is clueless..Those stupid neckties he wears are obviously cutting the circulation off to his brain..Run Marely,run...

Anon#1. I know you're going to exit after Juan,but may want to re-think that since cleavage is your game..The next novela may have bigger implants than Juan..Hang around..Hello to Jeanne,Sharkbait, JudyB,cherylnewmex,Anon#1,Fuego (Is fuego de rosca new here)? Maureen
Hi right back Export Red. Fuego de Rosca is our tried and true "K" or Kris who's always been on board. She was just inspired to come up with a new moniker in honor of Fuego en la Sangre.
In total agreement with you about Juan and Marely...nooooooooo! She's been jerked around enough already.
What's the problem with logging onto Caray? I loved the expression "through hell and half of Georgia". Haven't heard that one.

I love "through hell and half of Georgia," too, since it's a favorite of my good ol' Southern Boy hubby. It's something we Yankees never heard, JudyB, until we started hangin' out with the Southerners.
Here's a "hey" backatcha, ExportRed!
