Al Diablo Con Los Guapos #98, Wednesday 6-11: And she'll have fun, fun, fun, 'till her daddy takes the T-Bird away
Before I get started tonight, I just wanted to give a big shout-out to all my fellow recappers. I don't have as much time lately to make comments (darn 40-hour work week with no internet access!) but I've been keeping up with the reading and y'all are constantly cracking me up! I just thought you should know.
I also haven't missed the multitude of requests for a photo and I promise, I haven't forgotten! I just need to find a decent picture somewhere or get Mr. 5ft to take one--it'll get done eventually.
On with El Show…
Florencia tells Alejandro her Aunt Flo is a week late and he reacts by looking constipated, which pisses off Florencia. Eventually he comes around and says he's really happy.
Mateo is upset that Gramps wants him to sign a pre-prenup. Gramps is like, "We're lawyers, this is how we settle things…wouldn't we ask a client to do the same?" This finally gets Mateo to sign. Wow. I didn't expect that. Maybe he read it quickly enough to find the loophole? Gramps is happy, though.
Constancio tells Padre Manuel he can't donate any money for the poor orphan kids since his capital's all tied up. But, hey, he'll start a foundation once he's elected and name it after Padre Manuel. PM's like "whatever, the poor orphan kids need a place to sleep, yo!" Constancio goes back to his office. Mili has heard this conversation and catches PM on his way out the door. He gives her a big sad face, but says everything's fine. Mili chokes on her rabia that Constancio is being "codo" (cheap) and not giving any money to the convent.
Gloria is hanging with Sor Cachete in the convent kitchen. She's upset, but SC doesn't know what about yet. SC asks her to take a lemonade to Angel in the library. And the matchmake is on!
Mili screams and whines some more in the kitchen. Hugo comes looking for her and she fills him in on Constancio's cheapitude. She calls him a "mondrigo" (can't find a translation for that one) and "cuenta chiles" (ok, so literally counts chiles…I guess it's another colorful expression that means "cheap"). She has to explain to Hugo that it's not just about the money, it's his attitude. Hugo offers to make a big fat donation, but Mili wants help with a plan to both get money and stick it to Constancio. Lina walks in just then talking about Constancio's badass new sports car. Oh, Mili really goes off now, especially when Lina says that Braulio says it must have cost an arm and a leg. Mili now gets a brilliant idea: "Kids, prepare yourselves to sell raffle tickets!" Oh, I did that once--we sold them for $10 each and it was tough to get people to try to risk that much money, even if the prize is a new car.
Gloria delivers Angel's lemonade and they check each other out. I think Angel's way cuter than Chamuco. I think Angel's slightly more enamoured than Gloria. Sounds like Angel does have some family, but he's here to earn money and help them out. Gloria tries to rush off, but Angel makes eyes at her and asks her to stay and chat. Sor Cachete watches, visions of cute little brown-haired babies dancing in her head.
Angel goes chasing after Gloria in the convent halls to ask her out to the movies. She agrees to be friends, but not to go to the movies with him alone…that's a boyfriend/girlfriend thing. She tells him she's already got a guy. Angel seems horrified that she's dating a guy named "Chamuco."
Valeria is in the kitchen, complimenting Socorro on the coffee and asking for cream on the tostadas. Karla tries to get out of fetching it by saying she has to watch Valeria, but Socorro gets her to do it. Sheesh, all she had to do was turn around and go into the refrigerator. While her back is turned, Valeria pulls a little pink piece of paper out of her bosom and slips it under her coffee cup, then asks Socorro, with a pointed look, to serve her some more. Socorro takes the cup, turns her back to Valeria and Karla, and slips the paper into the mouth of a fish. Then Socorro, giving Chamuco a pointed look, tells him the fish is no good and to bring back another one tomorrow. I don't know if Chamuco gets the whole thing with the note, but he doesn't complain about the fish, just wraps it up in newspaper and leaves. Valeria gives Socorro a really warm "thank you," which makes Karla suspicious, but they claim it's only about the coffee. Whew, that was a lot. I guess I could have just said Valeria passes a note to Socorro who passes it to Chamuco, but it's too late for that now!
Alejandro tells Bobby that Florencia's preggers. Oh, only he says "It seems that…." Bobby can't tell whether he should say he's sorry or congratulations. Alejandro's not making it any easier. He says he's excited to have a kid, but Bobby's not buying that. Alejandro says it will help him forget Carlitos, his sister.
Marisela congratulates Florencia. They plan to tell Big Bad Daddy she got pregnant on the honeymoon. Florencia lies and says Alejandro took it well and looked happier than ever. Delusional, that one. Marisela says she should have waited until she was sure. Florencia hasn't even peed on a stick yet. She and Marisela go off to get one.
Hugo, Mili, and Lina show up at the convent in Constancio's new car. Hugo still doesn't know what this is about! Mili announces they're raffling off the car. She sets the girls to selling raffle tickets. It sounds like an easy sell with the car sitting right there. Hugo finally objects that what they're doing is a crime, but Mili's all about the larger crime of kids going without a place to sleep.
Constancio screams about his new car being missing. Braulio doesn't know where it is and just gives a confused look.
The raffle tickets are a big hit and they're almost sold out. Hugo's having a hard time keeping people's hands off the car. Gloria finally asks what happens if someone wins the car--she thinks it was meant to be a scam. Mili fully intends to have a legitimate winner and to let them take off in the car.
Chamuco brings in the fish to the vulcanizadora. He says it's a message from Valeria…oh, no, that sounds like "you're sleeping with the fishes!" Don Pepe says the same thing. Horacio says it means Rocky should bathe more often. Chamuco tells them about the note and Rocky fishes it out. Oh, and also, the fish is really stinky as evidenced by body language and facial expressions of the vulcanizadora crew.
Angel has fixed the door to the library and now Sor Cachete wants him to fix the pews in the church. She asks about Gloria. Angel says he likes her, but there's no point since she's got a boyfriend. Sor Cachete tells him to steal her away.
Mili has a box with all the raffle tickets and is getting ready to pick a winner, right there in front of the convent, five minutes after she started selling tickets. And oh, did I mention, her poop doesn't stink. Sorry, usually I like Mili, but sometimes she's just too much. Mili calls out the wining number and Lina won the car! The crowd objects, but Lina says she bought the ticket and won fair and square! The crowd mobs Mili while Lina gets into her new ride.
Rocky hasn't told the guys what the note said yet. Chamuco and Horacio speculate until Horacio tells Chamuco to get to work and do some sweeping. Rocky tells Horacio not to bug him…he's studying plumbing…from a book titled "Plumbing 1-2-3." Oh, this sounds promising.
Hugo is giving all the money back. Lina is upset she doesn't get to keep the car, even if she did win. Mili is pissed off at her. Constancio comes up in a police car happy that he found his car. Lina tries to make a case for why she should get to keep the car. This goes about as well as can be expected.
Alejandro comes over to see his baby mama. She tells him Marisela has just left to go see Bobby. Alejandro asks if Aunt Flo has come to visit yet, which she hasn't. Alejandro tells her he was telling Bobby he'd really like to have a kid. Florencio says she bought a test, but she hasn't done it yet, she wanted to wait for him. Smoochies.
Constancio chews Mili out for stealing his car. She tells him he's cheap and Padre Manuel needs the money. Mili tells him he only gives money to wash his conscience. She gives him the guilt trip about being rich while poor little orphan kids starve. She asks him why he needs such a flashy car…especially at his age! Ooh, snap! Mili tells him to give it to Padre Manuel to raffle off. Constancio asks if she's crazy and Mili says she must be to think Constancio was going to be generous. Ha!
The deed is done, but Florencia is not pregnant after all. She's upset that she got his hopes up. Alejandro says it'll be better when it finally does happen.
Constancio hands over the keys to the car to Padre Manuel. Mili walks in just as Padre Manuel says "your daughter." Padre Manuel fakes that he was confused about who convinced Constancio. She pushes him to have another raffle. Constancio tells him he should just sell it--he'd get more money that way. Mili says, "Thanks, Don, you're like a dad to me…do you like me like a daughter?" Constancio gulps as Padre Manuel looks hopeful. Give it up PM, if you've been watching this show you know it's not gonna happen. Commercials. Mili pushes for an answer. "Is it so hard for you to imagine me as a daughter?" PM tries to cover (I can't see why since he knows Mili knows the truth--why try to protect Constancio from answering the hard questions?). Constancio eventually says he thinks it's a ridiculous conversation. Mili gets teary and thanks him for the donation, but she won't look for him. She asks him to forgive her for scaring him (with the car, one assumes). Constancio tells her he actually feels good about donating the car and he hopes she believes him because he's telling the truth. Mili says he doesn't know how to tell the truth, but she won't explain herself and leaves. PM gives him the death glare and chews him out for not telling the truth, yet again. More of the same arguments from PM and the same excuses from Constancio. This time he adds that he's hired a detective to tell Milagros that her dad is dead. He says Mili can go on, then, without that shadow following her. PM says the shadow is following Constancio, not Mili.
Florencia and Alejandro snuggle on the couch. Florencia weeps about how she's let Alejandro down, etc. Alejandro reassures her.
At the servants' dinner table, Lina complains about not getting the car. They have to explain to Braulio. Socorro wonders where Mili is, since she usually eats with them. That spiteful heinous beeyotch Karla says she's either in Hugo's room or Alejandro's, "you all know how she is." Gloria tells her to shut it and calls her a snake.
Padre Manuel tells Mili that if Constancio wasn't going to come clean, Mili should have confronted him. Mili says she's going to keep giving him the beatdown until he finally admits it. There's a big futbol metaphor here that I'm not going to get into. We've all heard Mili's reasoning before. PM tells her about the detective. Mili already knew, from Braulio, and she's planning some kind of surprise. Mili says he's lost her forever, there will be no forgiveness from her. Especially since now she's blaming him for Alejandro too. PM silently asks God for a way to tell Mili that she and Alejandro aren't siblings…um, I think, "Milagros, Alejandro isn't your brother" would work just fine.
Andrea comes into Constancio's office to tell him the board room is ready. She mentions he looks tense, but he won't say why. He actually says he's not in the mood for her. Well, I guess he forgot to pick up his Viagra refill this month. Andrea keeps trying to get into his pants. Constancio tells her he's having accounting issues and possibly missing money, but he can't say from where yet. He asks her to leave him alone while he looks things over before the meeting. Wow, it appears he actually doesn't suspect her. The accountant (I think) calls and Constancio confirms that "it" is all set up and that this guy's getting a raise. Damian comes in, leaving his jacket while he goes to the bathroom. Constancio uses the opportunity to plant some evidence. He mutters something about Damian being fired (I think--"liquidado"). Then he yells out to use the air freshener. Classy.
Hugo has driven Luciana and Mili both to the board meeting. Hugo points out to each of them that they don't need to be there--Luciana because she doesn't have shares and Mili because she has Mateo to represent her. Mili goes off to have a private word with Mateo, who has just shown up, much to Hugo's displeasure.
It would appear that Damian had a spare Viagra in his coat pocket, since Constancio comes out to the reception area and macks on Andrea. Luciana walks in on them and tells them to carry on. Since they won't she says she's got something to say to both of them--she wants Andrea fired.
Mili's mad at Mateo, she thought they were friends, etc. Mateo makes his explanations about what Mili overheard at Grandpa's, although it's that old man sweater buttoned all the way up to the chin that he really should be explaining. He says he doesn't need money and that if it helps, he'll go into the board meeting and resign as her representative. Why doesn't he just show her the pre-prenup? He tells her he wants her, not her money and Mili is impactada. Seriously, that's the note they want to end on?
Tomorrow: Hugo tells Mili he's thinking of giving her up because he loves her and she and Alejandro are miserable, plus they won't tell him what's going on. Mili tells Hugo she and Alejandro are siblings. Hugo is impactadissimo!
I also haven't missed the multitude of requests for a photo and I promise, I haven't forgotten! I just need to find a decent picture somewhere or get Mr. 5ft to take one--it'll get done eventually.

I'm too tired to post anything coherent but I can't help thinking those Arango boys are dumb as posts. Why hasn't Al said anything to Connie? Is Damian still clueless about Mili? Will Hugo take on his uncle or will Connie proceed in blissful ignorance while everyone around him knows the truth about Mili.
Poor Flo NOT! Being preggers would have insured Al stick with her and doesn't she know it. Why the hell did she find it necessary to tell him before taking the test. I guess we need to know that in addition to being obsessed and a psycho she is also stupid. He certainly is in for a miserable life with her.
It is kind of nice to see that Angel actually looks young enough for one of the girls and is certainly a better match for Gloria than Grocery Boy - lets wait 10 years to get married but we can get it on now.

Awesome recap 5 ft! Luv the beach boys reference ;) I couldn’t find the word “mondrigo” either, but I actually think Mili called Connie a “méndigo.” I think they it’s derived from the word “mendigo” (yup, only difference is the accent), which means “beggar.” In Mexico people use méndigo about the same way we use “damned” as a qualifier and as a noun referring to a despicable person. I had never heard the term “cuenta chiles,” but I’m guessing it’s the Mexican equivalent of a “bean counter.” You’d think beans would make as much sense as chiles for counting, but maybe they use the word ‘cause it’s shorter.
Quick things I didn’t get to mention after yesterday’s recap (awesome as always, thanks Becster!): Chamuco had a little more sense than to tell Gloria they needed to “consummate” (though he’s certainly trying to go in that direction). Unfortunately, he was dumb enough to admit that he’d told his buddy they already had! That’s why she’s pissed. Also, after Mili’s paperwork was done at school, Mat told her the best part of her switching to morning classes is that she was no longer his student, so it wouldn’t be unethical to date her (‘cause dating your client isn’t unethical!). She spies a taco stand (notice how they seem to follow her around) and tries to get Mat to order some as well. He looks nauseated as the grease drips from the chicharrón taco (pork rinds, yum!) and she tells him it would be good for him ‘cause he’s too skinny! She tells him he’s out of touch with the real world. I think she and grandpa Robledo would get along quite nicely ;)
Re: calling parents “jefe” – I don’t know if it’s ever been considered disrespectful, but I certainly never knew it as such. I don’t usually call my mom “jefa,” but she often refers to her mom as such.
Re: “buey,” and “güey” – a “buey” is an ox, and once upon a time it was used to refer to people who were less than bright. Matter of fact, a few weeks ago in FelS, Juan was telling his brothers they were going to fess up to the whole revenge thing ‘cause the Reyes were not cowards. Oscar replied “¡Pues que Reyes than bueyes!” (Well, the Reyes sure are dumb!). Nowadays it’s like saying “dude.”
This has been bothering me since Gamusa needed money for his trip and Mili mentioned she had none: When the heck is she going to start getting her darn allowance???!!!! The will stipulated that she was to receive one (I think 100,000 pesos per month or so) until she got married and got the rest of her inheritance. The Robledos have totally dropped the ball on this one. You’d think Mat might have remembered that when he had to bail Mili out of jail for vandalism to raise money!

Oscar replied “¡Pues que Reyes than bueyes!” (Well, the Reyes sure are dumb!). Nowadays it’s like saying “dude.”
This has been bothering me since Gamusa needed money for his trip and Mili mentioned she had none: When the heck is she going to start getting her darn allowance???!!!! The will stipulated that she was to receive one (I think 100,000 pesos per month or so) until she got married and got the rest of her inheritance. The Robledos have totally dropped the ball on this one. You’d think Mat might have remembered that when he had to bail Mili out of jail for vandalism to raise money!
I was wondering about decie girl's comment dealing with ". . . will Connie proceed in blissful ignorance while everyone around him knows the truth about Mili."
I was trying to remember who all know about Mili being Consti's daughter. I know that Padre Manuel, Sor Cachete, and Madre Superiora know along with Braulio, Luciana, Bobby, Flor, Alejandro and Hugo (he will now know that Mili is Consti's daughter and that she knows)
I think that Damien knows that Mili is Consti's daughter, however, he does not know that she knows this.
The girls(Lina, Gloria, Valeria, and Karla) don't know that Mili is Consti's daughter. I think they don't know along with Socorro, Horacio, and Rocky. I don't know why Mili hasn't tell these people especially since they are on her side. They would assist her in her schemes.
I am suprised that Mili still has not let Consti have it. I was expecting a big blow-up of yelling, shouting, name-calling, and hitting in front of the whole family & Mili's supporters. I am wondering if Mili will let him have it or not.
Mili is basically a good person that I think she is more forgiving. She might not have her big showdown with Consti at all.
I just want to thank all of you, recappers, for all the time it takes you to recap the show. I enjoy reading all the recaps and the humor. You, guys, made me laugh me out loud. I appreciate it. It hits the spot. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

I also want to know when is Mili going to start getting her allowance. They conveniently forget to give her the darn allowance. I wonder where this money comes from - does Consti write out a check or does it go through her lawyer or what?
Her lawyers are not doing their job. I wonder who is her lawyer Mateo or his grandfather. If it is Mateo, I am not surprised that he has not help Mili get her allowance. He is just thinking about Mili's inheritancel. I don't like him. Yes, he does look old to be going after Mili.
I would appreciate if someone can comment about what I have commented about.

5ft, thanks for the recap, as I did not have time to watch. I agree with you that the raffle is another uncomfortable reminder of the parts of Mili's character or background we don't like. She's basically good, but she does these bad things. Maybe it's the scheming Belmonte blood?
I think the writers have just dropped the ball on the allowance issue, the same way they have let other plot threads go unresolved. It's convenient for them, 'cause then they can have Mili revert to type with her semi-criminal schemes. They never explained the mechanism for her getting the allowance, but I would imagine that Abuelo Robledo is the one administering Granny's fortune, so he would cut the check.
Based on your discussion of Mili's class times, are we to assume that Mili is finally going back to school?

5ft. Great recap and good morning.
I, too, was wondering why Mili hadn't started to receive the allowance left to her by Regina. I guess she's too naive to ask for it, but the Consti and the lawyers know what's going on.
And, raffling off the car was just too much. I guess the writers couldn't think of anything else.
When is Andrea going to get caught? I don't think Damian will go down without her. Farewell Andrea.

Speaking of the allowance, she's supposed to get $20,000 pesos a month. I wanted to see how much that is worth, so I went to a currency conversion web site. At current rates, it's worth about $1,900, not chickenfeed, but not exactly a princely sum either. Coupled with her free rent at the Castilio Belmonte, she's doing okay, though.
Thanks for the Great Recap!
I just read some of the comments from last night and thought I’d throw in my 2 cents.
My husband is from Guanajuato in central Mexico and he calls his parents “jefe/jefa” as do his siblings. It must vary from region to region what is the norm. As for “way” (sp?), I was surprised that Al and Bobby were using it. It’s street slang that men, especially from DF, use all the time. But it is highly improper for a lady to use. I’m not sure of the exact definition, because I usually make up my own. But it’s a noun along the lines of asshat. I can see Chamuco talking to his chilango buddies and using “way” between every other word. It is used casually among friends, but an insult when used in anger.

Very funny recap, 5 ft., I love your "asides". I too was really disturbed by Mili taking off with the new car and raffling it...I enjoyed Hugo's horrified expression 'cause that's exactly what I was feeling. We both were writhing.
Mili was over the top annoying again and I actually found Florencia rather vulnerable and appealing as she mourned the loss of her supposed pregnancy. The last scene between her and Alejandro was actually tender, not the usual "oooooh noooo don't do it" that I usually feel.
I assume we're in for lots more of this kind of nonsense before our two lovebirds get together.
And still no beau for Lina...do you think it's going to be Bobby?

The writing felt a little lazy here but all in all I thought it was an entertaining filler/relaxer episode. Val and the staff are enjoying their drama and intrigue. Passing a note in the world's fastest-rotting fish when she could have just handed him the note to stick in his pocket? Disguises? I do think it's funny how seriously Karly takes her Val-watching duty, going so far as to lean over and smell the coffee with her.
Also, the car raffle was beyond belief. Who is going to buy raffle tickets from some kids on the street? We did a car raffle for a fund raiser when I was in high school and it took WEEKS for the 30 or 40 students in the club to coerce enough friends and relatives into buying tickets. Worst fundraiser ever.
Thanks for writing such a fun recap.
Has anyone figured out what exactly Constancio is plotting against Damian? Their shady business schemes always confuse me.

Thank you 5ft for your outstanding recap! And the comments have been lively and fascinating these past few days. Great stuff!
I don’t go for Mili either when she’s in MiliBrat mode. She’s great in the serious stuff, but otherwise a bit of a snot, I think.
I watched the show on HD for the first time last night and saw all kinds of details. Like, is Connie wearing a rug? Were those fuscia bits always there in Flor’s hair?
I thought it was a hoot that Mat would sign that pre-nup-like document without reading it first – some lawyer!

OMG! HD! I can't wait! I'll bet Mateo's skin will look even worse.
We don't have Univision HD in NYC yet. We can't get over-the-air HD in the midst of the city, and our cable company isn't offering it yet for Univision (we have plenty of other HD channels). I have to nudge Time Warner Cable.
But yes, Flo has always had those fuchsia streaks, and the diamond nose stud. I don't know if Connie is wearing a wig--maybe a bad hair weave?

Thanks for the recap, I can't remember but I think during Mundo de Fieras, comments were made that Consti in real life was having a hairtransplant. I dunno, but I sure did love his evil twins, bad 80's hairdoo, wooden leg and eye patch. No seriously I really liked it, it was the only CE character I have ever liked, and well there was his Tool brother, the good twin (good but dumb)
also I think Al & Mili made a vow not to tell Consti, but to crush him.

NinaK – now that I think of it, it wasn’t transmitted in HD. But since my regular, older TV has been unplugged for our new flooring installation, I watched it for the first time on the big screen, so I guess I saw it bigger and brighter! And yes, Mat did look pastier, HD or no!
Howdy =)
NinaK, I wonder if Angel will eventually end up with Lina (for all the Echevarria family's nonsense, I actually like Marisela, and she got Bobby fair and square without any icky scheming). I don't think Mili's likely to get a fourth galan, but ya never know. Maybe Angel could work for Mili though. Even though Rocky and Horacio are living at Mili's place, I doubt they're taking care of the remodeling projects and that house has been vacant for some time. Then again, maybe Angel could end up with Gloria after all if grocery boy doesn't get his act together. I think Chamuco does plan to marry Gloria someday, but feels he can't do it without a proper nest egg. Rocky and Horacio are having the same concerns about their respective novias.
I don't think Damian knows Mili's Consti's daughter (otherwise he'd be blackmailing them separately). Mili hasn't told her gal pals because she's afraid they'd let it slip, and she's taking the whole "revenge is a dish best served cold" approach. Right now she's just enjoying some passive-aggressive jabs at Connie to see if he hangs himself.
Pasofino, I don't think Damian will throw Andrea under the bus when they arrest him. He needs her on the outside to help get him out and has the ammo to make her help him. I get the impression Connie's trying to set up a fake scheme to show off Damian as an embezzler (as opposed to airing his ACTUAL embezzling schemes).
Jewels, my cousin (female) actually uses the term "guey" when talking about her girlfriends. It still throws me 'cause to me it always refers to someone who's dumb or an asshat and usually refers to men. Still, times have changed and slang tends to mutate from time to time and from region to region. A "heffa" (which I think comes from heifer) used to be an insult and meant that a woman was fat. Nowadays a bunch of my girlfriends use it to mean a strong woman. Go figure.
NinaK, I think the allowance was either 100,000 or 200,000 (either 9.5 K or 19 K per month) - a little more generous and enough for her to buy Carlitos outfits that actually fit!
There has been much discussion about whether Mili should go to Paris with Val. Unfortunately, Regi's will said Mili had to live in the mansion. Still, she could visit when school is out and spend a week or two there and maybe meet a hot French male model ;) If they put together their nickels and dimes, maybe they can buy Rocky a ticket and he can go live with Val in Paris. Now he'll just have to learn French for real;)
Re: Mili's schooling, I think I caught a bit about school being out at the moment. I'm not sure what the actual date is supposed to be (TNs don't usually match up with real-life chronography) so maybe it's summer vacation or Easter break or something like that).

I somehow see Lina with Bobby and not Angel who has clearly been sent in Gloria direction. I wonder if Sor Cachete did it after all those French kissing discussions.
Bobbly clearly didn't like Lina dancing with the groper even after she told him to mind his own business. Marisela seems to be doing most of the running and he isn't one to not take her up on the offer. She is after all MP number 2 and Bobby is a good guy if a tad on the slow side at times. I can't see both of the guys saddled with the mafioso as a suegro and Marisela doesn't seem to be overly fond of Al.
It occurred to me that Rocky better pick a career and stick to it instead of bouncing from one thing to another. I kept thinking he would expand his Taco Naco business and become the Ray Kroc of Mexico.

Great recap and comments by all! I am from PR so all these idioms and terms are unfamiliar. Just the same, I do enjoy listening to this Spanish. I don't always follow Chamuco because his language is so peppered with the sing song accent and all the references that escape me. Now I have a question about referring to people as tools. I just heard this from my 23 year old niece the other day and I am embarrassed to admit it, but what does it's origin mean. I am assuming based on the context that it's not a compliment!

I am totally stupid about how blogs work, but I'm trying to get into the 21st century. So if anyone responded to a post (is that even the right language?) I made last night, I didn't read it. Hence, trying again. I'm an American soap opera writer (OLTL) and I've been told people learn English watching our show, so I'm trying the reverse, boning up on my Spanish by watching telenovelas. You guys are awesome, and I'd have no idea what's really being said without you. I'm looking for English languages synopses of "Palabra de Mujer." Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks.

Yes, we did answer you on the previous night's blogs...you can go back to that by clicking on Guapos recaps on the left side and it will take you to the recap.
Or you can just scroll way way way down and find it.
We aren't recapping Palabra de Mujer on this site. There are probably one sentence recaps of each show on esmas.com (not much help) or you might go to Wikipedia and looke for chapter synopses there.
Good luck!
