Querida Enemiga Monday July 21 - The roof is on fire

Alonso and Lorena fight, she tells him to leave.

Sara tries to be nice to Diana in the room they now share. She wants to share her clothes, she puts Diana into the red dress that she has worn so many times already. Everyone thinks she looks good, especially Vasco who says she has a 'spectacular' body. They all look at him, he's like 'what?' Diana looks uncomfortable. Omar likes all his happy family being together, Vasco looks like something is on his mind, something other than Diana's great cleavage.

Don Toribio, the next morning, says his reunion sucked, everyone is old, sick, or dead. Alonso had a bad night too.

Rosy and Maruja talk about the whole Sara situation then see that Lorena is sad. She says she was fighting with Alonso.

Sara complains that she'll have to eat eggs and frijoles for breakfast, but to me that sounds great. Vasco confronts her about pretending to be Hortensia's niece, she begs him to forgive Jaime and grandma.

In the living room Vasco, Zulema, Diana, and Julian make more plans about finding some clients at Mundo Y Vida.

Omar tells Sara to stop working for Hortensia. She says she won't quit and she won't help them put Jaime and Hortensia in jail. Omar says he will fight on without her.

Slimy husband of hottie doctor's assistant Valeria (can't remember his name and this entire episode nobody calls him by name to remind me) is talking on the phone with some woman about business and then tries to hit on her, but is interrupted by Valeria entering the room. She found out that he took her money and she's pissed. He says he'll make it all back and buy her a big house, she isn't having it. Loser's mom shows up and says not to yell at her son. Valeria tells loser's mom that she is sick and tired of her! Finally, this needed to be said long ago.

Barbara comes to Omar's house and asks him to forgive Jaime and Hortensia for her and Vasco's sake. Omar says Vasco is cool with the whole thing, so she says ok just for me. Omar is one smart cookie and says why do you care? You don't care about Jaime at all. He leaves.

Loser's mom cries a river about how she 'opened her house' to Valeria, Valeria says yeah right, I pay all the bills around here! She yells at her loser husband some more. He demands that she apologize to his mother. Valeria doesn't she just turns and leaves. Even though she's mad, she looks hot in her business attire. The skirt isn't so short, but enough to show her nice legs. Loser's mom plays the 'poor me' routine after Valeria leaves. Whatever.

Sara tells Hortensia and Jaime that Omar won't back off, Jaime says all is lost and leaves to go pout somewhere.

Rosy is telling the chef the whole sordid tale of Sara when Jackie walks up behind her and overhears. Rosy tries to make up a story, Jackie tells her don't worry I won't say anything, actually, tell me everything! Is Jackie turning into one of the good guys? She certainly would like to get rid of Sara, and her man Dario is getting the short end of the stick in his dealings, maybe those two will end up being good guys.

Maruja finds Jaime's wallet at the soda machine. I guess he doesn't only drop soda cans. She says he'd drop his head if it weren't attached. She heads to his office to return it, where she finds him pouting. She smiles a lot and gives him the wallet, he thanks her by name and she is all aflutter that he remembered it. He says he remembers with even more reason now, holding up the wallet. She giggles her way out the door, barely missing Barbara, who immediately starts wailing about her conversation with Omar.

When they come home from work, Vasco, Diana and Julian announce that they have a bunch of people coming to taste food tomorrow, they should get some clients. Omar comes home, apparently very early, he says the lights are busted at the shop and he can't work at night, Julian says he'll fix them. Apparently he is good at that stuff, maybe he is as dumb as he thinks he is if he doesn't realize that he can make a good living as an electrician. He asks Sara to come along so she can see the shop.

Lorena serves ravioli for dinner, Rosy and Maruja say it's good until Lorena leaves, then they spit it out. Aww, I guess Lorena's usual secret ingredient is happiness or love or some crap like that. I don't think being sad can make you forget how to make good ravioli. They try and cook up a plan to help Lorena and Alonso.

At the clinic, the little girl apparently needs a new shipment of chocolate and asks Alonso when Lorena is coming back. He doesn't know. Valeria comes in and she and Alonso compete to see who can heave the biggest sigh and have the longest face.

At the shop, Julian shows Sara around. She pretends to be impressed but really thinks it's lame.

Rosy puts banana peels on Maruja's head to give her a fake fever. Maruja asks if it works, Rosy says sure, it got her out of school a bunch of times! Maruja wants to start yelling at her but there's no time. Rosy tells her to look sick. The doorbell rings and they throw the banana peels behind the couch cushion (I would love it if they found them again later on) and Rosy lets Lorena in. Wait, Lorena stays there but has to ring the bell? She brings in some pills and leaves to get water. The bell rings again, Maruja yells very loudly "MUST BE THE DOCTOR." Of course it is Alonso. He gives Maruja some advice and refuses payment, when Lorena comes back in the room it gets much colder in there. Rosy and Maruja try to keep Alonso around to talk, but he makes his getaway after exchanging a few uncomfortable looks with Lorena.

Julian fixes the lights, in the conversation he tells Sara that Omar is a true father to him, not just a stepfather. They get home and everyone is asleep, Sara says she'll stay up and watch TV.

After Alonso leaves, Lorena the hypocrite has the nerve to act irritated that Maruja and Rosy put together this little skit to try and put her and Alonso together. I guess it's only OK when SHE does it.

Sara calls Chalo and cooks up some plan.

Valeria is cleaning up toys, loser husband tries to make nice with her. For some stupid reason, she buys it and caves in.

Jaime wants a little affection, she rudely tells him to leave her alone in a way that would have had me leaving the house for good. Way over the line. He wants to be with her, she says "well I'm right here, with you." No, he wants some lovin. She again is very rude and says no, how can he think about that with everything going on. I think it makes sense, he needs somebody to be on his side. I guess it's time to look for Maruja. Barbara won't shut up about Omar.

Chalo arrives outside the house, Sara gives him some keys. She sneaks back in the house, Zulema hears her and comes out to talk and hug, etc.

The keys were to Omar's shop! Chalo douses the place in gasoline. Uh oh.

Sara manages to get Zulema to go back to bed and leave her up watching TV.

In bed, Lorena the naive fool thinks Sara must be so happy with her family. Jeez she's blind.

Alonso walks around shirtless for you ladies and mopes about Lorena.

Chalo returns with the shop keys and wants his 'reward' immediately, Sara says later and avoids his attempt to molest her, ducking back into the house.

The shop goes up in flames, cars explode, all the neighbors come out and stand WAAAY too close to the fire. They get a weak bucket brigade going, like 10 gallons of water for a huge fire.

Sara sneaks into her room, just then the house phone rings and Omar starts yelling that there was a fire. Everyone runs out of the house to check it out. Except Sara who stays behind looking smug.

I guess it's the next day, Paula offers to take Bettina to Dario's house, I'm sure so she can find out where she lives, but Bettina is too smart and says no, she'll ask her dad to come pick her up.

Jaime, Barbara, and Hortensia read the news about Omar's shop in the paper over breakfast.

Rosy and Lorena go to Zulema's house to see what they can do. Diana is crying and says that Omar is despondent and Julian thinks he did something wrong with the wiring.

Jaime tells Hortensia that he hopes Omar had insurance, Hortensia says she hopes he doesn't (bitch!), because then he'll be too busy getting out of his mess to worry about the police and all that. Also, maybe now he'll have to let Sara accept money from Hortensia.

Julian beats himself up, saying it was all his fault. Nobody else believes that could be what happened. Even Sara says she saw his work, he didn't do anything wrong. I wonder what her angle is.

Jaime asks Hortensia if she had anything to do with the fire, she says no!

Out for a walk, Omar tells Zulema he stopped paying the insurance a while back. She says she'll get her catering up and running and they'll get back on their feet. Vasco offers to help financially too, he owes them. Some guy walks up that Omar recognizes, the guy says Omar owes him for his car, he wasn't insured. Omar has to pay him for it or the guy will sue him.

Aaaaaaaargh.
And I didn't even get to see Alonslow minus shirt. Not that it would have made up for anything.

The banana peel thing did crack me up though. I can smell anything banana-related from a mile away.

I wish someone had slipped on the peels instead. Even a cheap joke would be welcome!
 

Doh, of course the insurance ran out!!! Yikes wonder where this will go....thanks Ferro!!
 

Well, I'm back in town after tending to my own little telenovela out of state.

Looked forward to relaxing with this show and aaaarrrrgh...what a miserable episode!

However I must comment on Alonso's shirtless scene. Incredible shoulders (Susanlynn alert! Susanlynn alert!). Fabulous muscle definition nicely set off by special lighting.

Kudos to the cameraman (or woman). As for the rest, ye gods...wrap this thing up fast, puhleeeze.
 

Sorry...forgot to say thanks, Ferro and I always love your editorial asides...especially concerning sweet Valeria and obnoxious Barbara. Totally on target.
 

Judyb---I did see shirtless Alonslo, but I was not impressed. I don't like those over-muscled , lumpy guys. They look so hard, unyielding ,unnatural, and uncomfortable. Hugging Juan would be nice, but hugging Alonslo would be like hugging ...let's see...something hard and lumpy and unyielding and unnatural....a bag of basketballs maybe. I like shoulders that look a little more lifelike. It looks like someone just set Alonslo's head on top of those unreal shoulders. JMHO. I haven't had a chance to read the recap yet, and I'm late for work, so I'll be reading it later. Sara is such a twofaced sneaky snake. I would rather deal with someone in-your-face evil like Crabi from Fuego. At least you know where you stand with evident evil like Crabi. The folks I can't abide or the ones that smile to your face and stab you in the back with a big grin.
 

I was looking at the meat grinder attachment on my ancient Oster Kitchen Center and thinking that it would be really wrong to put Sara and Chalo in a meat grinder.

It'd be rough on the machine. You want to show more respect for your appliances.

A while back, Chalo balked when Sara brought up the possibility of bumping someone - I guess Lorena - off. However, he had no problem burning down a building, which could have resulted in multiple neighbors, passersby, and firefighters getting killed.
 

Minor point, but Chalo doesn't have a car, does he? So how'd he 1) buy the 3 or 4 gas cans, 2) fill them with gasoline, 3) get them to the shop? Also, I wish my local newspaper were this fast. We didn't even have coverage of this year's All Star Game, because it ended too late (1:30 A.M.) to be included in the morning edition!

I think we've just about reached the limit of things going wrong. Something has to go right for Lorena or wrong for Sara soon. But I could be wrong - these writers sure know how to torture us!
 

I hope you are right, Hombre. I'd really like to see Lorena have a good day, and for Sara to have a bad one.
 

Thanks for the fabu recap Ferro ;) It was hypocritical of our Lore to think others couldn't interfere in her life like she did in theirs. Unless someone slips on that banana peel, we've probably heard the last of it. As Julie pointed out, it's not a smell that can be easily overlooked, so it won't be there very long. Re: Valeria - I might be wrong, but I think she's actually a doctor, just newer than the guys. Her hubby is named Arturo, and we've nickamed him Ickturo because he's so slimy.

Julian apparently flunked some stuff in his electrician classes, and that's why he never got licensed. His conviction that he's to blame for the fire is further proof of his self deprecation. I don't see what Sara thinks she can base her claim that she saw Julian did his work correctly on. What does she know about wiring? I don't think she was looking for anyone to take the blame, just for Omar to be so desperate for cash that he'd be willing to swallow his pride and allow Sara to get money from Snorty. I doubt that will happen though, even with the threat of lawsuits from the owners of the cars that got burned.
 

Did Sara know that Omar didn't have insurance? If so, then burning the place down to make him poor makes sense.
 

Thanks Ferro for recap!

And Pleeeese, somebody teach me how to post it on a sidebar!

Yeah, it was another depressing nightmare - now I'm watching just to see how deep they can go with this show, anything else left???

I also ( like Susanlynn) wasn't impressed too much with shirtless Alonslow - I think it's more of the camera person's fault - in real life he is not THAT big - there are a lot of pics on a web. Even in Ladron Que Roba Ladron he looked much better.

Julie, if your grinder chokes - get mine!

By the way, I'm not sure if anybody put a link between Jaime's problem with alcohol ( remember in previous episode he had a "fight" with his mommy dear about drinking) and holding the can of pop - I think they are related.

Sara and Snortenzia have to be related - I can't believe that there is no connection between them - they both too evil!

Judy, glad to see you back!
I hope everything went OK
 

Julie, I can't remember if Julian listed dad's lack of insurance as one of his many money troubles. However, Sara did think of the idea after Chalo said "well if they're so poor, pretty soon they'll be asking YOU for money."

I was doing laundry through this, so I missed Alonslow's torso shot. Does he have the tattoo from the credits? It seems out of character, and something they should have covered with makeup IMHO. Not that doctors can't have tattoos (although they do pose health risks even when well researched, but I digress), but it just didn't seem like something this one would have. He does have a nice body, it's just above the neck that he's nothing to write home about. I agree with the folks that think Omar is probably the best looking one in the group.

Eve, you have a point about Jaime's correlation between drinking and dropping stuff. If he's been drinking throughout the day, his motor functions wouldn't be that great. OTOH there is a serious illness that affects motor skills and gives the appearance of being drunk (Dudley Moore had it, and it wasn't until months before his death that people realized he hardly drank at all, it was the side effects of the illness. His biggest sorrow was that he could no longer play the piano), and is obviously harder to detect in people who are already drinking because everyone assumes they just can't handle their alcohol. Come to think if it, if Jaime's having motor skills issues, and Omar is having ED, maybe there is some sort of neurological thing that runs in the family that mommy hides because illness is shameful...
 

Poor Alonso...okay, he can't do anything right!...not even with his shirt off. However, I was still entranced...in my work, muscle definition is to die for (I have very little...especially now at 68!)

Yes, everything went well, Eve. Was able to really be of help, bond some more with Baby JacK( I was "night nurse" in addition to handling care in the day) and our temperamental almost 4-year-old "diva" was much more affectionate and cuddly now that Big Grandma is tending the new baby.

So it was a win/win situation for me.

Hmmm...not sure what you meant about posting to the sidebar. Was this not posted? I think only recappers have the software to do that. I'll check.
 

Okay, Eve...I have it posted. Should have checked this morning but was in a hurry to get off to teach an early morning class.
 

Aloha everyone, Sylvia here. Fun recap Ferro. Figures I'd miss Alonslow's disrobing! Luckily Tivo will probably have it saved for me. Wow, so Chalo burned down the auto shop! What that guy won't do for his "rewards".

Heh heh, I'm going to love it when Barb gets dumped for her suegra's kitchen help. Interesting possible side plot if the brothers have some sort of neurological disorder. Might this show up in Lorena somewhere down the line? Just a thought.

Thanks Ferro!
