Querida Enemiga, Wednesday 7/2- Two chefs are 86ed and Jaqui's in the weeds
Guess what? The old switcheroo has taken place. Babies at birth? Not this time...tonight K Fuego and I are switching nights. Tonight I recap for her and tomorrow night she recaps for me.
-Sylvia
Mean Granny Snortensia finds the incriminating photo on her desk. Sara admits she planted it, she's dead to her parents, she needs love and Granny doesn't give it to her, boo hoo! Granny accuses her of blackmail. Sara says she's only a lowly assistant, lower even than Jaqueline. Granny Snortensia takes the bait and immediately promotes Sara the suck-up to 2nd Assistant on a par with Jaqueline ...as long as she forgets her parents and destroys the photo.
The wholesome foursome (Alonso, Lorena, Rosy and Julian) decide to go bowling. Lorena wants to call Sara; Alonso protests ever so slightly but Lorena ignores the hint. On the sly, Alonso tells Julian not to worry, he'll help out with the money.
Sara looks at The Photo and says nothing will stop her, she hides it in her drawer instead of destroying it. She agrees to go bowling so she can celebrate her little victory.
Jaime accuses Snortensia (Snorty) of offering Sara the job because she's beginning to feel something for her. Snorty's eyes bug out and her mouth goes perfectly horizontal.
Sara drags Vasco and Mariana his pouty girlfriend to the bowling alley. As Rosy puts her foot in her mouth about Vasco's granny Julian thought bubbles that Vasco is Omar's nephew. Sara and Snotty Girlfriend look down their noses at Rosy and Julian while Vasco breaks the ice by saying his granny is super nice as long as she's asleep.
Vasco teaches Lorena to bowl which annoys Alonso and infuriates Mariana. Mariana pitches a fit and says she's sick of him flirting with low-lifes right under her nose, and she's sick of being green, from now on she's black, very black!
"What did I do?" aks Lorena. Rosy and Julian tell her that Mariana totally overreacted, what a bitch. Alonso has to bite his tongue with this unsympathetic crowd.
Vasco returns and says he and Mariana are through. He tries to teach an unenthusiastic Sara to bowl and she almost drops the ball on his foot.
Next morning Julian tells Zulema that he met Vasco and he was a super cool guy, not at all like a millionaire. Omar overhears and is interested.
Sara calls Lorena and invites her for dinner at Evil Acres. Lorena reluctantly agrees and Rosy quips, "You're invited for dinner? What's on the menu, Lorena a la Blue?" (This might refer to the method of cooking called "au bleu".)
Dario and Jaqui surprise Betina with her own fantastic bedroom...that Jaqui arranged. Dario hugs both his girls and we just learned that Betina's price for tolerating Jaqui is a spiffy pink bedroom.
Lorena arrives at Evil Acres and goes out to the garden with her pal Vasco. Snorty is peeved to see Lorena there and asks Sara who invited her, Vasco? "It would seem so," answers Sneaky Sara. Snorty is afraid history will repeat itself.
Lorena has joined Snorty's snooty family for an uptight meal. Lunch is served and it's a dismal affair indeed.
By contrast, Rosy joins Julian's family for a lively lunch of love and good food.
Back at Evil Acres Lorena giggles at the soup; it's cold! "Of course it's cold," snaps Snorty, "it's Vichyssoise, a dish that a certain class of people would never know!" Vasco cracks a joke and only Lorena laughs, then she spills a glass of wine on the white tablecloth. Basically the meal is a bust. Lorena leaves and asks Sara not to invite her again. After she sweetly kisses Sara on the cheek Sara smugly smirks and mutters she's glad Lorena doesn't like her own family, that way she won't come back.
We see a random shot of the full moon, then a poor apartment building in the daylight, so I guess it's the next day. Betina (of aforementioned building) tells crabby Paula that dad and Jaqui have a nice new room for her. Paula says Jaqui stole her man, Betina's all she has left and she would die without her. Nice job mom.
Sara the Second Assistant reports to work and Jaqueline has to help set up her desk. Oh the ignominy of it all.
Rosy tells her ma and Lorena that she loved Julian's family because they never had a bad thing to say about anything, hint hint Mom.
Snorty announces that today Sara will accompany her to the kitchen for the daily Insulting Of The Food. Jaqui skitters around the office in frustration.
Snorty tastes the dish and pronounces it horrible! It tastes like fish! The portly male chef informs her that's because it IS fish. She gives him some line of bull that the art of cooking fish is to ensure the fish taste doesn't dominate. He disagrees and says the taste should stand alone and not be masked. He throws the plate on the floor and the food flies all over Snorty's pantsuit. She is bug-eyed impactado.
Snorty fires him immediately. "Good," he yells, "I won't have your witch face to look at anymore! Long live liberty!" he yells to the stunned kitchen.
Snorty orders Jaqui to find another chef pronto. More sliding around on high heels.
Jaqui runs into the kitchen and asks Sara what should they do? Sara suggests they hire Lorena, she can do it, right? Jaqui is aghast but Maruja nods her head, Lorena can do it! Maruja and Rosy pray for help. They will all assist Lorena!
Snortensia hates the idea until she finds out it was Sara's. She agrees to the plan only because it's an emergency.
Lorena uncovers her dish (looks like overcooked sole) and rosy pronounces it delicious. Lorena plates her dish for tasting. Sneaky Sara enters, tries it and agrees it's perfect. When Lorena turns her back Sara dumps about a quarter of an inch of salt on top of the demo dish. Come on, who wouldn't see all that salt on the food and plate?
The witch enters and Maruja proudly presents Lorena's dish. Snorty forks the food into her tight mouth, makes a face...What is this filth?!? She fires Lorena on the spot, "Leave from here and never return, and this time your boyfriend can't intercede for you!" Sara says she'll see what she can do. Maruja is baffled, she tried the dish, it was good. Poor Lorena's face falls and she bursts into tears, but not for too long thank goodness.
Since Snorty fired the chef she is forced to go to Punto del Mar (which I think is the fish market) to pay for the order that is to be delivered. She orders Jaqui to get a new chef immediately because she fired Lorena. Jaqui does the happy dance and her stiff hair bounces up and down. The pelapappas is gone, the pelapappas is gone!
Sara gives Lorena a load of bull about trying to turn nasty old Snortensia around. Oh well, at least she got a pittance of a severance check for Lorena. Lorena thanks Sara for helping her. Gah!
Vasco gets a phone call, he got a job! He swings nana Mathilde around in joy. Oh boy, I can't wait until he tells granny. We don't know what his job is but we know granny will hate it.
Jaime and Barbara argue about money. She spends too much and he feels like he's just a provider. She seems so distant lately, is she happy with him? Barbara pooh poohs Jaime, don't be silly, she's very happy with him. She looks at her watch (uh oh, time to shag my skanky boyfriend) and announces she's got to dash off to her massage.
Valeria and her daughter make a surprise visit to Papi's work. Guess who's surpised? Yep, Papi quit.
Lorena says goodbye to her pals in the kitchen. Rosy thinks they should all quit so they can really stick it to the witch. (Go Rosy!!) Lorena won't hear of it, they have families to support. The bad dish was her responsibility, besides, she met all of them and made good friends and that's something the witch can't take away. Dang, in this story when you're good you're really good.
What were we saying? It's a small world? Vasco shows up for his new job to sign papers and is greeted by Diana, his pregnant step-cousin whom he does not yet know.
Ickturo sits at home drinking beer with Mommy; he tells her how happy he is to be jobless. I swear this freaky lady has a Jocasta complex. She's happy to have sonny home but what will the little lady say? Speaking of the queen of Rome, Valeria comes home and mildly reproaches him for quitting. Suegra from hell jumps down her throat. "Believe in me," Ickturo coos to his wife.
Vasco runs to Granny to tell her he got a job. Granny Snortensia says although she accepts his decision she's still pained that he's not working for her company. Jaqui skitters up, she has three chefs to be interviewed. Snorty snidely comments that she doesn't know why chefs are all so terrible. Vasco asks her about the pattern, is it the chefs? It's one thing to work with precision but another to be terrorized into working.
We see that Omar is a mechanic. Some lady needs his help. She tells him he looks familiar. Zulema calls his name and the light bulb goes on, "You're Omar Armendaris!" He recognizes her too, Carla Figueroa. Zulema seems bothered and jealous, who was she? Silly honest Omar tells her that he and the lady were novios when they were younger. We now see where Julian gets his honest streak.
Maruja plays cards with her gal pals and tells them all about her therapy session with Paula's dad. According to him Maruja's hate for her ex is blinding her to the possibility of future loves. Maruja wins the hand, lucky in cards unlucky in love! Tequila shots all around as they toast to being like bread that doesn't get sold.
Sneaky Sara shows up at casa Maruja "hoping" that Lorena found a job. No? How unjust! Lorena says she's so very glad to have her friend Sara nearby. Blech.
Sara is fake-reassuring Lorena when the doorbell rings. It's Dr. Hawt; he gives her a kiss and asks why the sad face? He hears the bad news and suggest she drown her sorrows in ice cream, but no, Lorena wants to be alone and think about how life sucks. Al agrees to leave her alone and as he leaves Sara jumps up, "I'll call you tomorrow" and leaves with Dr. Hawt. Not too obvious, that one. Sara slithers her way into Dr. Hawt's car so he can give her a ride home.
Zulema asks Omar if he regrets giving everything up for her. He kisses her, tells her he loves only her and calls her "burrita". I guess that's supposed to be sweet but if anyone called me "burrita" I would stuff cilantro in his nose. Except of course if it was Fernando Colunga. Duh. Zulema turns over and has an odd look on her face. Does she believe him?
Sara tells Alonso that Snortensia might have something against Lorena because of how Vasco feels about her, Lorena might have something to do with Vasco and Mariana's breakup. Sara doesn't want Alonso to think badly of Lorena and thank goodness Vasco doesn't get jealous because he should be prepared. Lorena gets along with the whole world, especially men, nudge nudge wink wink. Dr. Hawt just became Dr. Stoopid.
Barbara tells Jaime that Carla Figueroa called to say she ran into Omar. She didn't even recognize him because he's a garage mechanic! "Oh how low your brother has become," she titters. Jaime looks sad and thoughtful.
Maruja and Rosy make breakfast and leave a cell phone for an exhausted and still-sleeping Lorena. She will need these things for her job search.
Dr. Stoopid sets the table and recalls Sara's lying words, that Lorena gets along REALLY WELL with men. He gets agitated. (Oh grow up for pete's sake.)
The phone rings at Evil Acres and Sara picks it up. She hears Ickturo begging Barbara for money. Babs hisses "Don't call me here, I can't do anything for you!" She finally says she'll see what she can do and Ickturo tells her he loves her. "What a surprise," Sara smirks, "Barbara has a lover."
Tomorrow: Sara gives Vasco a note.

Good morning Sylvia...loved the "wholesome foursome". And thanks for the "au bleu" link...at least Rosy knows her French cuisine terms, unlike poor sweet innocent Lorena who only knows good WHOLESOME Mexican cuisine at this point.
I had a hard time last night. I KNOW this is just a telenovela, everything is rigged and it will all come right in the end, but in the meantime I hate seeing little lambs suffer. Oh well.
And people seem to get jealous at the drop of a hat! Is this the culture or is this telenovela rigging again.
Mind you, when Vasco put his hands on Lorena's hips to get her in good bowling position, I can see why Dr. Hawt might have been somewhat nettled. He hasn't gotten within an inch of those little hips yet.
But Zulema's reaction was instantaneous. Does she feel that way every time her husband talks to a female customer? Yikes.
And of course Omar pulled two dumb moves. No. 1 telling her it was an old girlfriend (rather than just an old acquaintance)
no. 2 when she kissed him, rather than saying he was tired and "let's go to sleep" he should have made mad passionate love (or a facsimile thereof) to his nervous wife. Now we know they both would have slept easy after that!

Yes Judy, this was a particularly spiteful episode...Sara schemes herself a new job, plots Lorena's downfall, helps arrange Vasco's breakup, deliberately puts Lorena out of her element at the Evil Acres meal, leads granny to believe Vasco invited Lorena, sets Lorena up for professional failure, sabotages Lorena's demo dish, lies to Dr. Dumb about Lorena's moral values, eavesdrops on Barbara's conversation so as to plot some treachery, all the while sucking up to Lorena making her thing she's the best friend in the world. Yes, quite a busy episode for our evil Sara. What a woman! Don't worry Judy, the badder she is the harder she'll fall.
I agree, people get jealous way too easily in this show.

yeeesssss...hope all the episodes are quite this grim. I'm afraid I don't enjoy this heavy dose of nefarious meddling...and those supposedly "lighthearted" moments of the gals playing cards is not enough of a breather.
Whew...bring on some peace and romance please!
Whew...bring on some peace and romance please!
Sylvia, it was a hilarious recap, thanks!
The witchy Sara is getting on my nerves - how far this girl can go! She is so evil, I can't believe it! They grew up together with Lorena, actually almost from birth - like twin sisters - and she doing all of this to this poor pure girl.
" Dr. Hawt just became Dr. Stoopid." - soo true! This " anybody home?" doctor should probably remove some of his clothing and show his good parts so female( and may me some male) viewers would stick with this show - he is soo bland! Even with his jealousy - almost no emotions, only something like "Really? I'm soo pissed ... Hmm... " Remember Ric when he was jealous - wow how I missed him!
I agree with Judy on Zulema - Omar case - is he the older brother and is too old for "some loving" or so? Hey, after seing her so jealous and admiting that it was his former novia - sure you need to cut damages honey!
I can't wait when "good for nothing" Omar's step son would break the news to his novia about who is who around here.

On another note, someone mentioned this the first week and it really struck me again last night....
Jacqueline looks like she's being played by a female impersonator. Her face is very masculine, hair looks like a wig, shoulders are broad...and hey, that might explain the weird way she has of walking in her heels.
I dunno...what do you all think?
PS Eve, did you see the note Margarita Chilaquiles left on last night's recap about Juramento? She was the last to blog, so you may not have seen it.

I'm glad I missed this episode, because I don't think I could take that much bitchery in one night (all of that plus what happened in Fuego). :-(
The thought of Sylvia sticking cilantro up someone's nose made it much easier to bear. :)

You're right Julie...a double dose of Sara and Crabiela might be fatal.
I hope all our episodes aren't this evil...but the previews sure didn't bode well.
I've been spoiled after the happy-go-lucky atmosphere (most of the time) in Juan.

Judy, thanks for pointing to the Margarita's message - I checked it out.
I'm kind of getting into the El Juramento and not only because of Osvaldo Rios, but looks like the story is good ( no doubt about it - it was written by Caridad Bravo Adams - same as for Amor Real), the actors are good as well, may be it's a little bit too slow at this point but I will stick with it.
Osvaldo is an eye candy - he is in the same age group as Yañez but he does his homework in a gym so even when he takes of his shirt off ( like last nite) - I don't object ( like with FELS). And yes, he has a look, not as strong as Fer, but I can take it as a substitute.

I was curios about the female impersonator comment - it does look something fishy with this Jacqueline personage. But I googled her name and she is played by the peruan ACTRESS Alexandra Graña - her previous works mostly were peruan telenovelas.
I noticed that almost in every telenovela there have to be at least one personage with kind of clown attributes. I don't know if you watched La Usurpadora - there was similar ( even worse) secretary like Jacqueline - very minor role. In LFMB - famous Alicia Ferreira - "Ay, Maaaarcia...) and Tomás. In JQ - Nidia. In Destilando - different kind of weirdness - Acacia. ( I watched first couple of episodes). Can't remember anybody in Pasión or Amor Real though.

Wrong editing for the previous comment:
I watched complete Destilando but only a couple of episodes of Juan Q

In Pasion, Marcelino had sort of a comical appearance, I thought, and we also enjoyed Uriel's Dali mustache and canneloni curls.
I don't think Jaqueline's appearance is so odd, except for the bright red "That Girl" hairdo which was the height of fashion just 45 brief years ago.

Thanks for the recap Sylvia. I too could not watch the episode (as judyb says I can't stand to watch the lambs suffer) and see Sara mess over so many people.
I also hope that some of the good characters (perhaps Vasco) can be both good and smart. Thus they won't have to be dupes of Sara until the last week of the novela.

You are right Julie - there was Marcelino!
With Jacqueline - it's mostly the way she walks and talks in presence of her mighty boss Snortensia - and sometimes with her little Betina.
Also a wacky character in this novella is mommy of Ickturo with her "Jocasta complex" - thanks to Capn Sylvia I expended my vocabulary with these new words.

Oops...it was me who thought that Jacqui looked like a man in drag! I think it's because her face is very angular and her eyes are close set. But, yeah, that hair is NOT flattering!

Thanks, burrita for the switch ;)! Funny recap!! And good stuff this episode.
Re Jaqui in drag, nah, if you check out this link you can tell she is all female. I think the BOZO hair just screws her up. She clearly has Eurpoean heritage rather than indigenous South American though.

I've been trying to link this damn thing and can't get it to work so here is the url. Hmrph.

We definitely need more comedy in this telenovela to offset the suffering (IMO). In Guapos, they have many genuinely funny moments, possibly because Cesar Evora is such a talented actor, but in this one, everybody (except maybe Rosy or Rossy as my cc sometimes says) is either a victim or a victimizer. Blecccch.
Judy,
I think Vasco is somehow different ( no, not THAT Vasco!).
He has a heart and a brain - hopefully he will not mess with our little Lorena.

I like Vasco too. He's different from the others. Not only is his character different but the actor seems different as well. He's very natural and not all "pretty boy" like the others, although he is attractive.
Yes, Vasco is growing on me (now there's a weird idiom). I found him a bit off-putting at first but his personality is a lot more attractive than most of the characters, and he seems a lot brighter than our dear but dazed Dr. Hawt.
Kris, you are very welcome. The switch was good for me too and I actually enjoyed Sara's nastiness. She's just so...so...I can't even think of a word bad enough for her!
I think if Jaqui's hair was flipped under instead of outward, she'd look a lot better.
I was confused about the discussion of who Sara was in bed the other day - were you all talking about in the opening credits? (I had thought you were talking about the avance for next episode.) The guy in bed with her in the opening credits definitely looks like Alonso.
Grrrrr.

Sylvia: a late Tks! for a great and snarkworthy summary. Think I'm with Maruja when it comes to Julian. If I were Zulema I'd have come home with a stack of want-ads and plunked them down next to the remote control......
Sylvia, thanks for the great recap and I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Great asides – you keep me chuckling!
“Granny Snortensia finds the incriminating photo on her desk. Sara admits she planted it, she's dead to her parents, she needs love and Granny doesn't give it to her, boo hoo! Granny accuses her of blackmail.” Isn’t it lovely to see the queen of mean getting a little back at her? No one deserves this more than Snortensia.
“Snorty's eyes bug out and her mouth goes perfectly horizontal.” ROTFL!!! Perfect description of what happened!
“Sara looks at The Photo and says nothing will stop her, she hides it in her drawer instead of destroying it.” Destroying it would only mean she’d go out and take another. She’s a stalker, too.
“Vasco breaks the ice by saying his granny is super nice as long as she's asleep.” Everything Vasco utters could eventually end up in Snortensia’s ears, via Sara. If I were Vasco, I’d shut up right now about my Granny, but he doesn’t have a nose for danger.
“Evil Acres” Great name!
“the daily Insulting Of The Food.” LOL!
“He throws the plate on the floor and the food flies all over Snorty's pantsuit. She is bug-eyed impactado.” LOL! I roared when I saw this. It was fabulous to see her expression.
“Come on, who wouldn't see all that salt on the food and plate?” Good point. And, why didn’t Snortensia mention that it was way too salty? I would have and Lorena would have been alerted.
“Jaime and Barbara argue about money. She spends too much and he feels like he's just a provider.” What was his first clue?
“"Believe in me," Ickturo coos to his wife.” Is that coos, or cuckoos?
“Vasco asks her about the pattern, is it the chefs? It's one thing to work with precision but another to be terrorized into working.” Only Vasco could get away with saying this to Snortensia. It was a great shot.
“Silly honest Omar tells her that he and the lady were novios when they were younger.” LOL!
“I guess that's supposed to be sweet but if anyone called me "burrita" I would stuff cilantro in his nose. Except of course if it was Fernando Colunga.” ROTFLLLLL!!!!
Maybe Omar has a problem that he hasn’t told Zulema about and that’s why he can’t grab her and do damage control for her jealousy. I’m just saying.
Loved all the comments!

I think JudyB coined the phrase "Evil Acres". It wasn't I, but at least I was smart enough to remember it!
