Juan Q - Wed 5-21- Toys and Shopping for all
Juan gets an Audi from the big spender (Hillary). Hillary’s done it now!
Pau thinks it’s one thing to give a trinket but another when you throw your money around. This is extreme and only shows her insecurity and she won’t go for a ride with Juan because of it (and the big green monster, no doubt). He is perplexed and proclaims that she is screaming louder than a category five hurricane. He thinks if he accepts something this expensive he will be comitting himself to something serious wiht Hillary when all he really wanted was to make Pau jealous.
Someone please tell Marely and Pau that sisters who coordinate their outfits are really cute at age 5, or maybe even 16; at 25 or 35, not so much.
Mar tells that Sandro is going to contract Laura today, and pau says that’s all she needs, Pau spills the beans about Hillary’s "gift" Marely.
Pau decides she’s not letting Juan get away with this so she goes out and she tells him she agrees that Laura will work here but only in the post she assigns as he walks up extolling the virtues of his Audi convertible. He complains that she is trying to control things again and she essentially says tough, she’s given up enough already and these are my conditions.
Nid yells at Yadi for accepting the apartment along the lines of not knowing what’s behind the offers. Yadi doesn’t understand because Nid thought he was the greatest human being ever. Nid says I thought, but people change. No one gives something for nothing. Yadi thinks there are still good people in the planet. What planet is she on? Nid says he’s a stranger, and that she will regret this. A mom is never wrong. Nid says first you hide taking your kid, and now doesn’t want to live in her own home? Yadi snips back It’s not ours it’s Pau’s actually. Nid gets mad and tells her she’s cruel to say such a thing.
Lau shows up after Sandro gave her a tour. Pau welcomes her to Farell and she says thanks though you had no choice. Juan asks Lau to respect Pau, and she says yes, she’ll enjoy working on promotions and they go to his office to await the contract.
Pastor tells Pau about a rumor that Sandro wants to put Laura in charge of promotions at request of Juan, el presidente. Pau explodes that he wants to annoy her. He says no, he’s only passing on info. He washes his hands of any insubordination and Pau says she’ll be responsible for the changes, so he says he’ll write it as she wishes.
Pau tells Pastor to make Lau his assistant, he says he already has one, and she says now you have two and wonders if he will question her authority. Of course he won’t, he prepares the contract. I love his scrunchy face he makes at her as she walks out. I make that at the TV all the time.
Laura will see him everyday and is excited, but Juan says but everyone has to like your work.
They are about to kiss, Mar asks if she interrupts and should come back, Juan says no, work first.
Anga tells Yadi that Kike will be next. She worries if he comes he’ll take the baby. He says they need to get her out of here and asks Remolacho to drop what he’s doing and come with them.
Lau wants to know when Juan gets pottery classes again. Just then Hill calls to ask if he got her surprise. Juan he says he can’t accept. She says you can’t convince me by phone so I’ll come get you to eat together. He agrees while Laura gets the cat’s ass mouth now. This is coming up as a convenient descriptive term!!
Pau walks in and drops the bomb, Lau says something is wrong with the contract, but Pau says nope, there are no other vacant positions, so if you want to work here, take this. Lau looks to Juan for his help, and he doesn’t really, he instead convinces her that she’ll start low and work her way up. She wants more money but Pau says you aren’t going to earn more than the person you are working for so forget it. Juan sweet talks her some more and gives her hugs so she ends up agreeing.
Pau introduces Lau to Pastor. Sandro is there and notes to Pau that woman must be crazy in love to accept so little to be here in the office. Funny, the same was said about him. Pau walks away pissed off and Sandro is pleased at himself for his annoying comment. Laura echoes Sandro’s sentiment in the elevator until other people get on. Juan begs her to chill the confrontations with Pau, and she’s just thrilled to be around him.
At Yadi’s apartment Anga tells Remolacho to rest while they try to find someone to care for Baby and clean a little. Remo says his cousin needs work but she’s mute, if that’s ok. Anga says call her!
Yadi isn’t sure if she’s dong the right thing. He says don’t worry if you have none of your stuff, we’ll buy you what you need. She thinks he’s good people.
Kike is reporting Yadi’s flight to Nid and Perf. Perf says well she is related to your Ma. Nid still thinks there is a misunderstanding, but Perf agrees that the onion seller has all the fault and is a pervert - irst he robbed me of my curvy lined wife and now when he didn’t suceed goes after the daughter.
Nid is offended at Alirio’s suggestion that Anga is that malicious. Perf wonders where is the love.
Pau explains her decision re Laura to Marely, that she’s a bad person and has no experience. Marely calls a spade a spade that Pau’s jealousy is getting the best of her. Pau doesn’t accept that.
Kike fears he’s going to lose his baby. He begs Perafan to help him, and Perf begs that he needs some bills paid. Kike says he’ll pay whatever for his daughter.
Anga becomes Yadi’s new stooge and we are treated to scenes of shopping for baby and Mama.
Hill comes into the business and asks to see Juan, Ivonne is impressed. She asks how Pau is doing and Pau says fine and walks away without asking how Hill is.
Sandro asks to explain numbers to Pau over lunch and she is thrilled to accept. He is impactada that she accepted so easily.
Nid goes to the gallery says she thought about the event all day. Nid shares her ideas for the gallery musica de un cilindero, no wine, instead pulque, and she wants some Tacos al Pastor on one side, and some enchiladas on the other, Willy and Ana stare at each other disconcertedly.
Back at the Farell, Hill picks up Juan to go eat. Sandro comes out and greets her. They exchange they are both going out to eat, so Sandro suggests for them all to eat together.
Sadly I neglected to tape this section so I can only report from memory. Feel free to add in.
Ana tells Nid thanks, but no thanks and wants something more discreet, Nid says no way it should be big with Venuses, and Cupids. Ana says nope and Willy agrees. Nid’s creative bone is crushed and she agrees to do a "boring" ordinary exposition.
The four agree to eat together.
Nid tells of Anga’s exploits with Yadi and that she thought he was a good guy and incapable of something crazy like this. Ana can’t believe it either.
Pastor tells Ivonne to help him by being kind to Herib and to make kind gestures to him every so often. She worries about Fer’s jealousy and doesn’t want to jeopardize her situation with him. Pastor begs her please. He says that his plan for friendship with Heri could lead to other things.
At lunch a boxing match is taking place with Juan as moderator in his head. He notes Pau making digs at Hillary by complementing Sandro and wonders what she’ll say in reply, and is surprised when she knows just exactly what to say. She remarks how down to earth and wonderful Juan is and that is what she loves about him. Pau remarks how adept Sandro is. The comebacks are flying until the waiter shows up and Juan thanks being saved by the bell.
Kike goes to look for Juan and discovers he’s not there. So he unloads on Marely Yadi’s new tricks. He is extremely agitated, but Mar tells him to calm down and not do something crazy.
Filomena doesn’t speak, but understands all and is told that her first priority is Nid Mich.
Mar doesn’t know what to say....go talk to Anga but calmly and talk to Juan too. She says it’s for the good of his baby because it will cost her, and maybe him too, besides he’s got lots of work he should go do and worry about this later. He agrees and thanks her.
Julia follows him out and sneaks up to Kike in the elevator. He tells her about the story of Yadi going with an old guy. She tells him his baby is adorable and she thought they were reconciling. He says apparently all Yadi wants is a big wallet.
Heri gets a make over. Pastor says they have to work on his manner of complimenting. Un Piropo (compliment) has to be refined, darn no more animal references for our country boy I guess. Heri is transformed after his manicure and facial and Pastor likes the look. Deja vue, I remember Juan going through this and it didn’t work. Won’t this guy learn his lesson? Or at least like people the way they are? Ay Pastor.....pobre.
Back at lunch Juan tells Sandro he’s sure his strategies will be fine he on the other hand wants to enjoy life. Pau says he shouldn’t spend all day daydreaming (Papoleatando). They take their leave.
Pastor takes Heri shopping and dresses him like a doll. Heri thinks the clothes are girly, and Pastor reminds him they are in the men’s section and he thinks when Ivonne sees him, she’ll go nuts. This was cute, as him dressing Heri "for Ivonne"
Pau complains to Marely about her chinese torture lunch with Hill complimenting Juan during the whole lunch and that she was doing it just for spite or to be a bad person (Mula) just to make Pau miserable.
Sandro interrupts the two sissies and asks if it is something important, Pau says no we were just talking about importing meat and Marely interjects of Mula (in this case junkor actually could still mean meat of a bad person) and then says, uh, oh, she means beef. (Carne de Mula, no, digo de res.)
Juan takes Hillary to Pepita's and she is floored that Hilary is actually in her house. Hillary breaks it out for Juan: Uh, was there or is there anything between you and Pau? Go ahead tell her about this bizarre sick obsession you had forever and a day!!! Or wait until tomorrow. That works too.
Labels: Juan
note* Did anyone notice Sandro at the restaurant with Marely, he never drank the orange juice, both glasses had the tall straws sticking out of them...real men don't sip through straws in public, unless they are at a fast food restaurant.
As boring and predictable as this show has become, I will miss JQ when this show end. I don't think I can't get into any of the other shows now on Univision.
Won't there be a huge messy ball of yarn when they tie up all of the loose ends? Maybe they won't even bother with some of them...
I agree, it will be hard to get into another soap after all the fun of this one. But, never say never... We'll all probably be meeting right here again - one can only hope.
Anon#1 I like your foul-weather analogies! (Well, technically high pressure would be good weather but in this case I think we mean Juan's blood pressure, right?) But yes, I feel the Perfect Storm beginning to form. No, I did not notice Sandro not drinking through his straw at the restaurant. In fact I rarely notice these details until you point them out.
Emilia, I fear as is so often the case with these shows that there will be many untied loose ends when we finish. As you say, the numerous plot lines (such as they are) are one huge messy ball of yarn. And now a new character in Remolacho's cousin? I'm confused.
Dorado Dave, you have demonstrated some excellent telenovela writing potential in the past. Personally I'm all for you swooping in at the end and sweeping Marely off her feet. You don't need a support group (although we're here for you), you just need a good agent!
K Fuego, thank you for your very funny recap! It doesn't really feel like this one is in the ending stages, does it?
Last night seemed kind of tiresome, or maybe I was just whacked, but couldn't really concentrate. Thanks for "papoleatando" Kris, I didn't take a single note last night so I missed that one.
Was horrified at how much stuff Angarita was buying for Yaditza...that girl knows no bounds and evidently neither does he. Let's wrap up the loose ends quickly!
Anon#1, I love your weather report. It so perfectly describes the show. How ironic that I missed all that hot air and blustering winds while I was actually experiencing them here at home.
Dave, your dinner making dream with Marely makes sense and I'll join your self-help group anytime. I'm not sure a professional therapist would do any of us any good at this stage. Maybe we could all go sailing with Sylvia and cool off out on the wide open sea and forget all the annoying last part of this series. But, I will miss it too.
K (not dying to throw out hundreds of prized DVD recordings of Fea and Juan, and others)
I have a few more- Marely, who is now a Tropical Depresion, will become a named storm, once she realize what Sandro/CL is up to. Ivonne is currenty just a plain "low Pressure" center spinning along with the potential to develope into a major storm, this just depends on Fern, and how quickly he is to console Marely, when her Tropical System, becomes a named storm--we know this is coming.
There are many other cold fronts, and low pressure systems spinning through out the DF. I will keep all posted as to severe weather warnings.
Dorado Dave, Hilliary is high pressure, which is good weather as she has been very good for Juan....but it will not last, she may also take on Tropical characteristics, and become a major storm. With her power and influence, she could rip the roof off of Farrell, and send it floating down the river.
He's apparently been mostly alone his whole life, even his Mom wasn't around the whole time so he isn't used to answering to anyone or considering anyone else in his decisions and doesn't quite know how to deal with it, I suspect. Kind of like the whole Pastor lifestyle thing. He didn't get it so his response was to harshly and summarily get rid of it. After he thought about it for a while he realized what that family meant to him, and how it affected his bro, so let him back in, even though he's not totally on board with the whole way of living. Maybe something will open his eyes re how this affects everyone too.
K Fuego, sure wish I knew something about DVRs so I could help you out.
A public thank you in advance to Judy B for covering my recap tomorrow night. I hope y'all have a great weekend!
I think Univision gets credit for the hurricane description. They used it at the end of the Tuesday episode, in their leads for Wednesday.
Gracias to all for sticking with this marathon novela! Any word on what we get next?
“He thinks if he accepts something this expensive he will be committing himself to something serious with Hillary when all he really wanted was to make Pau jealous.” Finally, Juan is showing some really good common sense. Now, if he would begin to understand that his womanizing to make her jealous will only get him deeper and deeper into kim-chee.
“Someone please tell Marely and Pau that sisters who coordinate their outfits are really cute at age 5, or maybe even 16; at 25 or 35, not so much.” ROTFL! I thought that was pretty goofy looking, too, so thanks for saying it.
CL is definitely on top of the “nasty” game. He’s really evil and I hate to want bad things to happen to anyone, but in his case, I’m making an exception.
“Un Piropo (compliment) has to be refined, darn no more animal references for our country boy I guess.” LOL—we won’t know him any more!
Anon #1-great weather report, I agree! I think you’re right that Kike could end up with Julia and that wouldn’t be so bad. I think Julia would be good for Kike and Yadira is NOT. Love that point about real men and straws!! LOL! Marely is definitely working up to a Tropical Depression.
Dorado Dave, we’ll be glad to be your support group—if you’ll be ours! One whole year with Juan, commenting and recapping and hanging in there—what a bunch!
Emilia—can they really actually tie up all these loose ends in such a short time? There are tons! You’re so right, it’ll be a mess—especially if they try to do it in one hour! Maybe we’ll get really lucky and it’ll be Jaime Camil and no slang.
Cheryl—FOUR telenovelas??? Ooooh. And you recap, too. I am so impressed.
Have a great weekend, Cap’n Sylvia!
