Yo Amo a Juan, Monday June 16 - More Birds: Swan Song or Game of Chicken?
Thanks for checking in. This is my last Monday night carrying the torch for our Juan Q one last round. I'll be around for the Grand Finale Sunday night as part of the swell tag team we have set up. Hope to see you here on these pages for that too. The best information we have is that it will be a three hour extravaganza Sunday the 22 of June.
We return to the amiable breakfast scene in the hospital cafeteria with NIdia and Pastor assuring each other of their family-like feelings but Pastor presents the news that she should really see him as the uncle of her daughter Yadira. Then drops the bomb of the positive results of the DNA test that proves that Angarita and Yadira are father and daughter. Nidia has an instant hot flash while we switch to Angarita back in his sick bed with Yadira practicing saying daughter and papa to each other.
In the garage things aren't so cozy. Alirio has to learn that for certain crooks like Gutierrez, apparently there is honor among thieves. Even though Alirio has replaced the money to the accounts, Gutierrez gives him the boot from the scheme. Alirio can't quite believe that he is being fired from being a worthless crook but see for yourselves. Guttierrez can't lower himself to continue with such a dishonest man. He hopes to never see Alirio again. Alirio protests (always a good word for his outburst) that he couldn't risk losing the one woman in his life. Gutierrez hopes he has learned his lessons (escarmientos) and looks for a woman that loves him. Another unheeded reality check for our verbose one. Alirio is determined (decidido) to fight for his woman.
Julia has baby Nidia Micaela in the lizard lounge of Farell where Ivonne listens to Julia talk on about what a perfect pair she and Kike would make. Ivonne dryly asks if he has made any declarations of his love? No, but.. Well come down from the clouds then.
Juan is thinking they are all dropping jaw bones (quijadas) and indeed we see Juan, Marely, and Kike are facing Pastor and Yadira with gapping jaws while they deliver the DNA test news which is decisive (contundente) that Anga is Yadi's papa. We get a classic astounded Kike reaction: soup of bald parakeets! (¡sopas de perico calvo!). We're in a movie. Juan goes on to explain to Ivonne and Paula who have just piled into the hospital lounge that the news is that the defunct Samuel Cachon is not Yadira's father but none other than Angarita is. Marely comes forward to ask Yadira if she is feeling like her half sister and assured by the less than logical Yadi that she is a sister and a half, Paula sneers on the side.
LIFE GOES ON:
Marely fondly caresses her new desk and swivels in her new chair in her office.
Angarita in spritely form and sporty workout clothes kisses Nidia in the hallway
Paula looks askance as Juan and Marely go all kissy face in the lizard lounge. Sandro2 looks doubly askance at Paula's pouty looks and the kissers. Switch to Paula pouting in her bed.
Yadira takes over and becomes more bossy at the market as the crown princess of veggie world.
Juan looks thoughtful in the semi-dark room of the sleeping Juanito
Kike and Julia assemble their business office with a fine new sign.
Ivonne emerges from cancer treatment to be hugged by Fernando
Juanito is getting his fantasy family meal as Juan and Marely fondly touch hands almost landing in his plate.
Nidia helps Angarita pack up as they pledge to stay together but she insists on her house not his. They won't separate until death.
Yadira advises little (half) sister Marely that she should be more aggressive and fashionable to appeal to Juan and needs to change her look. Yadira is going to have her matriculate into the University of Seduction making her bare her shoulders. She needs to work on her lower passions, the ingenue Marely begins to do NIdia chomichomi's nad wiggle about the room.
Only Ivonne has to hear Paula continue to whine about losing Juan to Marely. Paula insists she isn't going to interfere with the big engagement (noviazgo). But she can't avoid being sad and hurt. Now she struts out the door declaring that she is going to what she should have weeks ago. Eek, what's that says Ivonne.
Laura who can whine with the best of them is in a rage about having to see Juan and Marely together in an office. However, she doesn't realize she is raging at a mask which is delighted behind it. Sandro2 points out that THEY are engaged. He pictures an exasperated Paula beginning to chew her nails. An irritated Paula has made it across the hall and demands that Laura leave them alone. Sandro2 observes that she seems sad does she need to talk? Yes, she does but about business. She offers him the sale of her shares in Farell. He is left squinting while we all count how many times he has been offered his company back...
Nidia tells Anga she will go up to prepare his little bed. While she wiggles up the stairs, Pastor observes that he won't insist that Anga go home with him as he can see how happy he is at Nidia's. How considerate on you part, quips a pleased Angarita. Just then the office door opens and oops, Alirio is still in the house, he demands how can Angarita put his dirty feet in HIS house.
Paula assures Sandro2 that she will sell her shares for whatever Juan's offer was that Sandro2 was disposed to accept just a few episodes ago. The important thing to her is to get far away as soon as possible. She wants to get away from the executives of Farell even though Sandro2 says it would be a shame for her to leave. He pokes the sore point, isn't this about the engagement of Juan and Marely? Yes, she admits yes but wonders why he keeps bringing it up. He insists that her presence in the company is strategic. She starts to slam out the door saying if he isn't interested she will find someone else to buy her out. No, no, he just needs to study the paper work a bit so he can move forward. She asks him to be quietly discreet and he sites Ivonne as a known leak. No, no one else knows about this offer so just keep it quiet. BREAK
Alirio argues with Angarita and Pastor about his house when NIdia gets into it and cheers on Anga and then Pastor takes the lead as words get stronger to chase Alirio around the staircase while Alirio calls him a homosexual (invertido) but said invertido gives him the bum's rush and they slide right out of the house. Outside Nidia announces her intention of getting a divorce this very day. Pastor and Nidia laugh at him and return to the house arm in arm, saying a dog that barks doesn't bite.
Paula repeats her demand for discretion and speed on this transaction to a grinning Sandro2 who assures her she can count on him. Juan comes out of his office as Sandro2 leaves Paula's office still sporting his grin. Juan demands to know why Sandro2 is always in Paula's office and a widening grin assures him that it is principally for work but there is more between them and Juan must know that it is difficult to keep just to business between such people. He give the famous Juan chin flipping gesture to the master himself. Juan is momentarily trumped and barks at Marely but quickly recovers and promises her a night out on the town as she wishes.
Alirio is in a store without money. Paula is interrupted again by Sandro2 who wants to meet for dinner to review the papers and get answers to some doubts he has.
It is Juan's turn to whine about how much attention Sandro2 is paying to Paula, he can only tell Kike at the new trucking office about how it irks him. Kike's advice is that a dead dog isn't ferocious anymore. Juan decides he will go back to his deal to sell his shares to Sandro2. It isn't fair to Marely for him to hang out in an atmosphere of old loves. (Gee, lots of places he can't work, huh?)
Speaking of the rose garden, she has been tarted up astoundingly by sister Yadira in buckets of makeup which balances the very low cut dress she is squeezed into. This Yadira means business at the University of Seduction! BREAK
Marely feels like a another person. (she sure isn't any Marely that we know) Yadi assures her she is more Cachon than ever and so precious.
Kike and Juan discuss Juan's options of other work, getting away from bad love and selling the shares.
Alirio reveals that what he was after at the second hand store seems to be a large ugly tent. NIdia protests his trashing the yard but he has a sign, "afuera Calvo, adentro Perafan" which he waves at her as they argue about whether he will leave the yard or not. NIdia threatens that the garbage truck will come at 7 AM and it wont' be her fault if they mistake the tent for garbage and haul him away for her.
Kike enthuses about all the pieces put into place for their business, then smells something delicious which we are told is a special family recipe of paella (wish we had the directions) He is ready to tell her something more he wants to say about them but is interrupted by the smell of burning paella.
Ivonne on the arm of Fernando tells Ana and Paula thanks and goodbye as she prepares to go back to her own life.
Juanito and Juan do telescope eye gestures at the bonbon Marely in her sexy "let's go to Paradise tonight, Juan" costuming from U.Seduct. central wardrobe. BREAK
Ana and Paula argue about the dinner with Sandro2 which Paula insists is only for business and doesn't mean anything else. Ana knows better but Paula tells her about wanting to sell her shares and get away from the company and especially Juan.
Angarita tells Nidia he has doubts about the engagement (M and J's ) He knows that he and Juan are a lot alike in that when they find the one woman they really love in life, they are hooked for life no matter what time and distance and different roads. Like I love you, he loves Paula Davila. Nidia insists that Marely can erase this foolishness (desatinos) with Paula. Anga says I hope so but doesn't look like he believes it. Because there are going to be three unhappy people not just two.
Ana and Willy plan a fun trip to Italy for months (I'm packing) while Ana continues to worry about Paula's silly decisions and mistakes she is making. The indulgent Willy says let's take Paula with us to Italy. Ana likes this to give Paula a new direction in her life. AND they can marry in Venice. (I'm packing, I tell you)
Paula and Sandro2 are meeting at the restaurant with a lawyer he has brought to ask questions. She agrees to hire him to take care of certain paperwork that is all wrong but Paula hasnt' had tie to change names and file papers after Cesar Luis' death. This lawyer is only too glad to help her with all that. As he leaves in comes the ENGAGED COUPLE. Everyone acts surprised and annoyed at this encounter. BREAK
Paula and Sandro2 get up to leave while Marely asks to toast as she acts rightly jealous at the rubber necking Juan does to keep looking over at what Paula is doing. Sandro2 doesn't look so happy either.
Ivonne and Fernando continue examining the evidence of coincidence of Sandro2 and CesarLuis both keeping everyone else thinking there is just Sandro left. They get distracted from the sleuthing to kiss and decide to spend the night together.
Marely is finally whiny about wanting Juan to look with deep love and lust at her just like he always has with Paula. He must be bored with her. She wants to spend the night with him.
Ana invites Paula to Italy with them. When she agrees to come for the wedding but will sell her interests in Farell first, Ana tells her to wait until she comes back but she doesn't intend to come back, ever.
Marely begins to channel NIdia and suggest Juan should make passionate love to her and not stand back and respect her like he insists he must. She really takes off on a quest but is soon collapsing drunk in Juan's arms. We see them come into Marely's bedroom in a silly drunk scene that inlcudes Juan's indecision about putting her into her scanty pajamas. She wants kisses and passion but the room is whirling so. He ends by covering her with his jacket. He thinks he is not ready to wake up in this bed so escapes as she protests weakly between wanting to hurl or be passionate.
Sandro and CL discuss the success CL can just taste. Both Paula and Juan are about to fall. He is the victor. Sandro tries to point out that Juan isn't going to fall over Paula, he is engaged to Marely. But CL is sure he is about to deliver the coup de grace with Paula's help. She has offered him her shares of Farell. He beams as we end dreaming of money and power and a vanquished Paula and Juan. Hmmmm...

Clever title, Cheryl, and I loved your opening comment "Thanks for checking in". I felt like we were having a morning conversation, though I'm sure you were fast asleep at 6 am when I first looked at this post!
Also loved your description of Yadira as "crown princess of the veggie world".
The lawyer Sandro2 had with him was clearly in cahoots with C.L. about doing Paula in. All the secret eye rolls and signals between them point to something nefarious...I'm just not sure what. But clearly, Paula is going to be left with nothing, financially, if Cesar Luis has his way.
WE SHALL SEE! AND MUST STAY TUNED OF COURSE.

Yes, excellent title! If CL manages to get his shares from both Juan and Paula he will be king of the mountain again, but won't Paula own half as she is still married to CL? I wonder how they'll make his world come crashing down around him?
"Marely begins to channel Nidia"...well put! This episode was very significant in showing that although Juan is fond of his little rose garden he simply does not view her with passion...and she knows it. I guess we've got at least six hours left of this painful charade, because of course they'll drag it out through the rest of this week and at least two hours of the three hour finale!
Go Pastor! Anga was so proud of his brother for throwing Delirio out.
"Sopas de perico calvo", that is definitely a new one! It's a keeper and the best gem of the night.
Thank you Cheryl!

Just a thought....In this country it is illegal to fake your own death, what about Mexico? (CL)
Does anyone know the "eastern" time for the final show on Sunday. I need to set my VCR. If the show is three hours long, we may see every woman in Juan's life come back for a one last chance with him. The Big "M" Battle, I have forecast.
I got to watch this show in High Def. yesterday....All I can say is everything is clearer, and bigger. I will try my best to watch the last show in H-D.

Ay yi yi...I don't even want to imagine Paula in high-def. Depressing.
As far as I know, EST the show will run from 8 pm to 11 pm. I will NOT be watching in high-def, but enjoy! Anon #1

Well, Judy, I agree that the lawyer that S2 "dug up" is the essence of slimedog. Paula better use her business school training and remember to always read the fine print. Who knows what they will try to trick her into signing away. Ivonne and Fer need to step up the sleuthing business or I don't know who is in a position to out S2/CL. I agreed with the observation I think it was Friday that NIdia sure got an intuition that made her whole body react that something was very wrong about S2 in the hospital lobby.
I am re-impressed with the writers who have managed to do what I thought they could not: make us NOT want the Marely-Juan union. She deserves so much better. But the U. of Seduction and following Nidia channeling scenes were great comedy by our little Marely. That looked like fun to do, she really broke out of her usual pale pink ingenue posture.

Fab title, and yes I second the veggie princess, how true. Yadi is her father's daughter for sure, just been corrupted by her ditzy mother all these years without him to counterbalance and bring out his genetics. Now that he's around I think we need to look out for Yadi on the empresario front!!
Ay Marelicita....que pena con usted. Ya ves, eso no va a functionar. Pobrecita.
Pastor as uncle, sooo cute!!
Ay Marelicita....que pena con usted. Ya ves, eso no va a functionar. Pobrecita.
Pastor as uncle, sooo cute!!
And yep, ditto your kudos to the writers who have done really well at getting us all on board with "the way it should be"
Ugh, so will they FINALLY rehabilitate Paula then???? We still aren't hot to her (other than her m-shakes.....)
Ugh, so will they FINALLY rehabilitate Paula then???? We still aren't hot to her (other than her m-shakes.....)
Yes, a remember, once before Pastor wiped the floor with Alirio. They got into a big tussle in the elevator and Alirio was toast!
Kris, I agree with all the awwww so cute thoughts about Pastor. He has a family finally that he can defend and love and they will love him. I am glad too about Yadira having a future as princess and I just hope that Kike isn't condemned to return to her for an eternity of hen-pecking.
Paula is being featured in her classic beauty looks a lot the last few episodes, to warm us back up to her, I think. She really is an uncommonly pretty woman when she isn't screeching.
I think Sandro is too corroded by association with CL to be appropriate for Marely but can't we get her back into school or on a plane to Spain for any reason? And, I would like the defender/sleuth team of Ivonne and Fernando to be the ones to out CL and uncover his faked death in a most public way.
Anon#1, I don't know about legal issues and faking death. Uncle Sam in the guise of the IRS would be interested in fraud if he tried to collect anything in the US but I know very little about US law on this and absolutely nothing about the related Mexican laws.

Cheryl, It is very illegal to fake your death in U.S., eapecially if you do it for any type of monitary gain, mainly insurance, but to skip out on child support, out standing debts etc. C.L. would into financial gain of getting his company back, after Juan had purchase half the company from Monica. But again, not sure of Mexican laws on this question.
Judy B, at the risk of creating more "commenter turmoil" (Que the Heck"), Paula, and all the women on this show, look like "Amazons" in H-D....(Paula's skin is perfect)
That is one of the highest compliments given to an attractive woman, taller than 5ft.5in.
I only hope the male commentors here can put their Playboy down, and send the "better half" shopping. Then turn on the HDTV, and enjoy three hours of beautiful women, this Sunday.

Hmmm, Anon#1...a new way of "keeping the Sabbath"!? Gotta laugh.
We don't have HD TV but my son-in-law does. However by the next time we're down there, Juan will be over. I'll just have to take your word for it.
Actually, I have seen Juan on his TV but because it's wide screen, it makes all the actresses look fat. A real drawback.
Anway, enjoy.

Actually, this is a very intersting subject, but as far as I am familiar, technically Cheryl is right. Academically, the simple act of faking one's own death in and of itself is not typically a crime in US jurisdictions, though I suppose it's not impossible that it's on the books somewhere. If you know of a criminal statute speaking directly to only that issue, then of course, feel free to post it.
There may definitely be other countries where this is not the case, however.
BUT what would usually be criminal, is the effect that the falsified death may have on certain events, i.e. if you falsify and or create a fake death certificate, you are forging or altering municipal documents and that may most likely be a crime.
Depending how you faked your death and who or what was involved in the carrying out of the faking, could also open you up to a whole host of criminal liability for certain criminal mischief or "causing of catastrope" or "causing public alarm" or "falsifying physical evidence" type statutes.
If you file a knowingly false police report, or interfere with a police investigation or maliciously cause the unnecessary use of police resources that could subject you to criminal liability.
If you flee a jurisdiction to avoid trial, or prosecution or jump bail or escape from penal custody etc. those could be crimes. Faking death to be released from military service could subject you to a bunch of military crimes, usually fraud related in nature.
If subsequent to the death you or others falsely collect on an insurance policy or otherwise receive monetary gain by virtue of being presumed dead, you may be committing fraud and possibly theft or conversion and those would be crimes.
Failing to pay taxes or filing a false death report or estate claim or falsly swearing to the veracity of events on certain government documents could include crimes of tax evasion and fraud or perjury.
There are clearly more scenarios, and even separate civil wrongs that you might cause and hence be subject to lawsuits from private parties over, but the act of just faking your death isn't usually criminal, though to do it and have someone else know about it or act upon it usually automatically implicates other criminal acts.
Now, in Cesar Luis's case, not knowing for certain what Mexican and even more specifically, that particular jurisdictions laws are, not to mention that we would have international issues because the "event" supposedly occured in Canada, another sovereign nation with it's own laws, so there may be liability there, and conventions or treaties which apply, Cesar Luis has definitely committed some level of crime, for sure.

Cheryl, thanks for this terrific recap! You have added so much with all your knowledge and study of language and customs! We’ll look for you on Fuego and Tontas, though. Thanks for the great vocabulary, and everything you’ve done to make this recapping team so superb!
“Angarita back in his sick bed with Yadira practicing saying daughter and papa to each other.” LOL—this was SO sweet! I really enjoyed Yadira finally feeling the acceptance of a father—all the clues we had early on said that Samuel didn’t value her as a family member and it’s so clear now why. Either he suspected or he knew he was tricked by Nidia. No wonder he told Juan to be sure to take special care of Marely and Paula. Sad for Yadira growing up, though, and as she said, it explains so much. It especially explains why she’s the way she is.
“Alirio can't quite believe that he is being fired from being a worthless crook” LOL-he has such a great ability to self-assess.
“We get a classic astounded Kike reaction: soup of bald parakeets! (¡sopas de perico calvo!).” Wow, thanks for translating that, and what a great punner Kike is!
“Yadira takes over and becomes more bossy at the market as the crown princess of veggie world.” ROTFL!!
“the ingenue Marely begins to do NIdia chomichomi's nad wiggle about the room.” It’s uncomfortable when Nidia does it, but downright awful to see Marely do it!
“She offers him the sale of her shares in Farell. He is left squinting while we all count how many times he has been offered his company back...” LOL! What price vengeance? Tsk, Ivonne should have told Paula what she suspects so Paula could be suspicious of this jerk, too. Still, we need enough episode material to get us through to Sunday.
“Speaking of the rose garden, she has been tarted up astoundingly” LOL! Well-said! She looked worse last night than she did when Yadi fixed her up in the geisha garb. I thought Yadi was funny talking about how Cachon Marely was when Yadi herself no longer is.
I had more comments but my new MS Office crashed and erased them, so they must not have been too important. ;-)

Wow...Anonymous 6:08...thanks for that legal expertise. Who knew!? We'll expect you to weigh in on these matters some more when it all hits the fan.
For a moment, before I read "anonymous" I thought you might be Amanda. She was a very bright, bi-lingual law student on our team who used to have her recaps done, and superbly titled, almost before the show was actually over.
Anyway, thanks for the detailed information. Fascinating.

anonymous 6:08, you must be a lawyer, or in law school.... you named most reasons someone would fake their death.
Here where I live, we once had a city council member fake his death, it was some thirty years ago, so details have faded, but I remember he staged a boating accident off Va. Beach, his body was never found, but he later showed up in St. Louis, Mo. His wife had cashed the insurance policy, that also paid off most of his debts.
As I remember, he was convicted of Fraud, sentence to a short term in prison, and never heard from again.
Since this happened before the internet was around, I will seach archives to see if I can find the story.
If I do, rather than post here, I will request you e-mail, and send story to you

Oh and Schoolmarm...I salute your great memory about Señor Cachon asking Juan to take care of Marely and Paula, with no mention of Yadira.
I'd forgotten all about that but at the time it seemed odd and now it all makes sense.

I know the tn has been long and sometimes drawn out, but I am really going to miss the characters.
I love the over the top antics of Nid and Juan's daydreams and thought bubbles. Since a union with Pau is destined, I sure hope they treat Marely right - I'll be furious if she gets hurt yet again.
And finally - thanks to all the great recappers that added so much content and wit to this forum.

Hey guess what. I actually watched Juan for the first time in digital tv last night too, HD broadcast, just not on HDTV, and man was I surprised at what I was missing. I have struggled for years with the analog reception on my usual station and finally discovered the digital HD station that now comes in really well from a closer tower so I actually didn't have fuzz or messed up captions for a change!!! The skin is really detailed for sure!
Add me to the list of folks interested in CL's criminal liability, he probably could also get in trouble for using a false identity, not to mention I think he is blackmailing or even keeping captive Sandro, so those would count as crimes in Mexico, though yeah, I don't think they'd get him just on the fake death thing alone.
I have to share something I found because I think it's great. Let's see how many of these steps CL took correctly... check out this link....

CL's faking his death could have an impact on clients, investors, and the financial health of his company. And would the fake death be also cause for an annulment -- or "fraud" however it is defined legally with respect to marriage?
Ok, finally got the link to work, so you can click on it in my earlier post rather than try to paste it.
Well at least the fake death would mean Pau was still married. I don't know about the civil marriage part but don't think him faking would be grounds for an annulment from the church's point of view though. I mean, it would be interesting though if she was remarried in the church under the idea that she was widowed and hence free to marry again. We've seen this in novelas before though, and what always happened was the latter marriage was invalidated, not the former.
Here the fraud occurred after the marriage was already entered into willingly so based on the church's canons it might not count. They'd want you to forgive. :)
All those company related issues with the death would sure rack up negative good will (bad will?)points for Farell's business, and surely turn away customers and deals though there might not be a crime. There might be a worry of defrauding investors, but as of now we know the only two shareholders are Pau and Juan, and if they sell, Sandro, and they have other bigger issues with CL!!

Good Link Fuego....All the more reason I think faking your death is illegal in USA.
As far as CL pretending to be Sandro, if he signed Sandro's name to any document, then the document is null and void. If he accepts the shares from Paula or Juan as Sandro, he is commiting a felony in the US. He can pretend to be Sandro all he wants, that is not illegal here, as long as he does not use a different Soc. Sec. #, he can give himself any name he wants...."alias"

Yes...wow...this is one of the most interesting discussions we've had here. Mind you, we've covered some biggies...infidelity, miscarriages, deaths of loved ones, viewpoints on male/female relationships...but this legal issue is a whole new venture. Amazing what this silly little show has generated in terms of sharing.
Wow, I missed some great repartee today! I really appreciate the discussion of the legalities of the CL/Sandro situation. I hope if CL gets busted Sandro doesn't get in too much trouble with the law. Yes, he is definitely an accomplice but he's kind of a sweet wimp and I don't want him to suffer to much.
Hey Esme, thanks so much for your kind words. We appreciate you hanging in there with us.
