Querida - Wed 9-3 - In the sauce, in a kiss, in the hood, in the blood?

At Tori’s apartment, the new neighbor explains she’s in peril, the financial kind. Don Tori tells her she should tap her siblings, but she says she has none, that is, when money is concerned. He says ok, friends then. Yeah, uh, he is her only friend she says. He smirks uncomfortably. Hmmm, what’s coming here...

Turns out, Chalo’s attempt at becoming a real criminal is foiled by the arrival of the press. They want Sara to comment on her Abue’s incarceration. She says she’ll get out soon because she’s innocent and she walks away.

Chalo isn’t content to leave it alone so he bugs her on the cell phone two times in front of Alonslow. Al looks like he might actually be a little suspicious.

Ernie is scolding nephew Ivan out front of the restaurant. Ivan is mad because he had to come. Ernie thinks he looks like a vago (bum) sitting in front. Iv still doesn’t want to come in so Ernie says fine but don’t move then. Ivan calls Betty and ends up asking her to go out this weekend.

Lore is making the raspberry culis and she doesn’t put in things that Ernie would have, and she makes no apologies. He tastes it, and agrees that he could ask for nothing more, talent, self-confidence, etc. She thinks he’s playing a trick, but nope he’s testing her. Just then Ern gets the news that the rude guy took his car so he runs off. Lore thinks that’s divine intervention. Evil sous chef comes up and tells her to peel something. There is a glance at her sauce and paper, meaning something evil is about to happen.

At the PGJ Sara gets the news that there is not enough proof to hold Snorty and Jaime. Sara is pleased that they will get sprung.

Betty hears from her Ma that she can’t go to that colonia by herself because it’s too far.

Snorty gets out in a few hours and Sara tells the lawyer he is invited to the welcome home dinner she has planned for her Abue. Al gets a call from his niece asking him for a favor.

Chalo sneaks up again and scolds Sara for not taking his calls. He hears that G-ma gets out soon and wants to go celebrate (get nookie) but Sara of course has much too much to do. He screams for her to hand over her keys.

Zully gets the call that Snorty is free. She thanks the lawyer anyway. She tells Maru she knew this would happen and at least they were in for a few days. Maru of course wants to know about Jaime.

Jaime gets the news but complains that he plead guilty. The lawyer tells him he wasn’t in his right mind. He doesn’t protest much and follows the guy out.

Tori hears that Amalia is at least fessing up to mooching. She reminds him how many times she’s eaten at his place and how few he has eaten at hers. Tori takes the bait and promises to help her. She thanks him and then proceeds to ask about the other thing too. Oh, he is hooked and promises that too. Then she busts out the 40,000 pesos figure and he looks like he’s about to choke to his death.

At hell’s kitchen, Erni is apparently calling on cell phone speaker and asks Lore to look after his nephew, oh and she can finish the sauce she made before and put it with some slices of coconuts as the house dessert, but her first priority is the nephew. After they hang up, evil sous chef tells her to go off and watch the nephew. She tries to tell him that’s not what Erni said but he won’t hear it and says he’ll make the flan, she is only making the sauce. She goes off perturbed. He looks at her recipe.

Rossy gets a cell call that Juli will be the face of ABC sports. She’s excited for him but busy and she will go to the photo shoot tomorrow, but is bugged that the witch will be there also.

In Chalo’s hovel, he finally confronts Sara about putting the horns on him and he grabs her neck choking her. This looked pretty darn real. Too bad we know he’ll stop. She gets away but he gets her back in his death grip.

Rossy and Lore talk about the Abue getting free. Rossy asks if Lore would forgive them and she says she doesn’t know, but at least she would never accept a G-Ma like that and turn her back on her very own parents. Just then beatch on wheels Moni comes up and yells at them for not working. She hears that Lore is going to check on the nephew. Apparently Moni didn’t know about him and I think she says she already or almost called the police about him hanging out in front. Lore goes out and sees if he wants a drink. Just then Betty shows up with Al, and Lore and he have an awkward moment.

Back in the hovel Chalo is still begging her for the reason she's cheating and she says Al is the deceived one and if she wanted Shallow(Chalo) gone she would have sent him off when Al broke up with Lorena, he’s not so convinced. She offers him money as evidence of her word. She promises in two days to give him 200000 pesos. He shows his machoness by ripping the cap off the beer bottle with his teeth, yeeee, real man!!!

Back to the awkwardness, Betty tells how she knows Lorena, and Al is just pissy. He starts to drag Betty away when Ivan tells him to leave her be, and just as he tells Ivan not to meddle, Ernie walks up and scolds Al for talking to his nephew that way. Yeah Al; where’s your class.

This doesn’t end well. The guys almost get in a big fight, and the kids get in trouble and Erni thinks Lore still wants Al, but she says out of his earshot that she was defending Ern.

Sara has met her match I think as she is still pretty scared of Shallow, who reiterates he needs his money and grabs her neck AGAIN.

OK, Tio and niece argue in the car on the way home and Al tells her that Lore betrayed him. Betty doesn’t believe it.

In the kitchen the other half also argue about this too. Ivan says if Ern’s not with Lore he shouldn’t care what happens. Ern doesn’t like that Ivan is with Al’s niece.

Then all heck breaks loose about the dessert sauce and as predicted Lore gets in trouble for not doing the sauce, but luckily, since the evil sous chef screwed it up, and the other guy sticks up for Lore, Erni finds out what evil sous chef did. Ern throws him out and of course he runs to Moni for help. She tells him tough. He blackmails that he’ll tell everything he knows. She pays him off, but I don’t think he gets his job back.

Vasco picks up Jaime and is glad to see him. They have to decide what to do together because Vasco is going to help him, he’s not alone.

Zully and Omar think this is a bad day for Di’s wedding. They worry about her happiness but there is nothing to do but respect her decision.

Di looks beautiful and promises to wed in the church after the baby is born. She tells Ma things are well with the two of them. They are thankful for the blessing of the child.

Jaime asks Snorty what she is looking at in the mirror. She complains about a defeated woman or something and they get into a discussion about how she was wrong about his Dad too, Jaime says soon she will have no one in her corner.

Vasco begs his Mom to leave the mansion to save some dignity for the family but she refuses. Jaime, too, tells her how important it is that they distance themselves from Snorty, but Barbi doesn’t want to leave the fat life and whines like a baby about it.

At the wedding, Julian complains about the arrangements, that he couldn’t even invite Rossy. The civil wedding proceeds much to everyone's UNhappiness.

At the kitchen Rossy complains about not being there with Juli. She is dying of jealousy and can’t stand it she also worries about that chick Elena. Ern comes up and yells at Lore

Betty gets a yelling from her Ma for bugging her uncle for such silliness. Just then Pa shows up. He tells Ma that she shouldn’t get bent out of shape for something small. He asks them to go out, but Ma says she’s too lazy to go out, but she’ll happily fix something here and he agrees.

Snorty gets a welcome gift from Jaqui and Icky, and she remarks that it is something that came from a Chinese stand, which I'll presume is not a complement in this instance. Sara gets a call from Al that he can’t change his post, so he won’t make it. She’s pissed. Shortly Sara shows up inside but Snorty is sour that she wasn’t there when she was sprung. Jaqui actually stands up for her and says that she was the one who organized everything. Snorty says let’s eat, and Icky thinks they should wait for Jaime and crew. Snorty says no, they aren’t home so let’s eat. Sara smiles.

At the apartment Pau and Dario are drinking Rompope, and they recall a party that she got drunk from the stuff, and this leads to a memory of a kiss with Rompope flavor. He thinks that was a happy memory and kisses her. She says don’t ever do that again. She says I won’t be the other woman. He tells her she’s not, they were married for 15 years and share a daughter. She tells him that he erased all that when he deceived her with the other woman and now his wife is named Jaqui. He begs for her pardon but she asks him to leave. After he does, she is happy that he kissed her and comments who is going to win over whom after all!! This scene was great, as Pau finally acted mature, at least in front of him.

We soon see the "happy" diners bidding good bye and thanking the chef . Snorty tells Sara they need to talk.

Next we see Babs just not adjusting at all to their new home at Motel 6. Vasco is NOT interested in her tantrum.

Snorty tells Sara that she is not a fool and that Sara is coldly calculating and suggests she might not be her granddaughter. Sara says of course I am. Snorty says well then you won’t mind proving it!! She says she could have gotten one over on the nuns to find out about her location, but tomorrow they will take a DNA test to prove her sanguinity. Sara is impactada for sure.

Hi "K"...thanks for staying up late to get this recap done and for all your wonderful asides.
This was truly an enjoyable episode because yes, Paula acted mature for once, as you pointed out, and because a lot of Sara's schemes are falling apart. Hate to say this but I rather enjoyed seeing her repeatedly strangled. And hooray for Hortensia finally thinking about DNA testing...alas, the preview don't bode well for my favorite elderly villain.

And what's up with Amalia...she IS beginning to look like a con lady...darn! I was really starting to like her.

Thanks amiga! Hope you have a great day.

PS Jardinera/Calamity Cakes proposed "Moanica" for our whiny restaurant manager. Right up there with "Ickturo" for spot on.
 

I guess I need to revise my theory about Amalia. Now I think that, as someone said yesterday, she's a con woman, but not a very good one.

I think she's good at getting money out of men, but she ends up getting a soft spot for her marks and falls in love with them.

I still doubt that she has killed anyone, but maybe I'm wrong about that and she does kill them and only later does she feel a little guilty about it.
 

Wow, this was a GREAT episode! A ton of awesome stuff happened.

Not that I condone violence, but Chalo grabbing Sara's skinny little neck and scaring the heck out of her rocked. I love the actor (Mike Biagio), he was very convincing, eyes all bugged out, spittle spraying all over Sara as he hissed his threats, face getting red with veins popping, and I cheered when he ripped the cap off the beer. Bravo! All the while she was trying to gurgle out excuses, it was hilarious. That scene is exactly why I watch this stuff. Oh, and to learn Spanish.

Second great scene, Paula getting to throw the proverbial cold bucket of water on Dario. Ah the satisfaction of watching the dumped wife/mother finally getting the upper hand and taking the high road instead of succumbing. You go Paula!

Third great scene, Amalia starting to show her true colors. Too bad for Tobi and I was hoping things would work out but it looks like she's a low-level con, gets a few thou and moves on. There's still the question, does she move on after she poisons her husbands? If she tries something suspicious with Tobi she might have a problem with his son being a doctor and all. Hmmm...time will tell.

And all the rest of the great scenes, Barb the Red throwing her hissy fit, the Sous Chef getting sacked, Al and Ern throwing it down, Snorty demanding that Sara share her DNA. Looks like those tempting stairs at Evil Acres finally get in on the act.

Thanks Kris! Stupendous recap of the best episode so far. Nice job!
 

Thanks Fuego!

I agree with everybody - it was a great episode!
The last part actually made me scream - I couldn't believe that it would come to DNA testing. Wow!

Sylvia, I'm totally with you on all great scenes you described, especially the Chalo-Sara one. What a match ( made in h-ll)! Chalo jealousy put everybody else's ( we have quite a few in this tn) far behind - only Rosy could come a luittle bit close.

The "black widow"/con lady is working her charm thru and pretty succesfully! Sorry Judy that she dissapointed you - I saw it's coming.
 

Perhaps we need a tantrum scale, on the order of the famous crying scale. "Tantrometer?" There are definitely some black-belt tantrum tossers on this show.

Also, Hortensia broke the first rule of dealing with villians: never, ever tell 'em what you plan to do. Gives their fiendish minds time to counter-plan. Hortensia might have saved herself a rapid trip down the stairs. Too bad she didn't grab Sara and take her along for the ride. Of course, the previews probably didn't show us the entire scene.
 

Yeah, I forgot about the preview of Snorty's fall!
Well, this probably will delay the DNA testing so we can enjoy this telenovela for few more months!
 

Great recap! What a lot happened!! I also really enjoyed Sara getting her neck wrung!!! She deserved it. Sylvia, I agree about Chalo's great acting with Sara. He was pretty convincing.

And her impactada look at the suggestion of a DNA test was great!
Unfortunately the DVR ran out before the previews! Can't wait to see tonight's!

Too bad Amalia might be a con woman...she seems so nice and even lights candles for her "hermanos". OH, well, Torbi better watch out.
 

I love the Tantrometer idea!!
 

This show's really picking up steam now! Some fights, bad sous-chef gone (but with 2 month's salary), Chalo on the warpath, Diana (unfortunately) married - I guess, we didn't see the end of that yet, and Sara threatened with DNA testing!

I wasn't too impressed with the way Alonso or Ernesto handled that scene outside the restaurant.

I'm rooting for Dario. He was terrible to Paula, but maybe he can reform, and they can get back together eventually. He's already realized that marrying Jacqui was a mistake.
 

I edited some things that weren't clear and added a nickname for Chalo. Thanks everyone.
 

Thanks,Fuego^^^I missed this episode, but your recap was so detailed that I saw every scene with my mind's eye. In MY mind movie [kind of like Rodrigo's Gavivision] , Sara's little tongue was hanging out and her beady eyes were bugging out when Chalo choked her. Sylvia---I noticed some previews last night, and it looks like we will have another Sunday night dance show soon. Rah.
 

Howdy =)

Thanks for the recap Fuego. Dunno what wasn't clear before, but your latest version was plenty clear =)

re: bad sous chef - Monica gives him his two months salary (I think that's supposed standard severance) and a gleaming recommendation letter for keeping his trap shut, but won't give him his job back 'cause a)dad ain't gonna fire her no matter what he says and b)he was a lousy accomplice.

You gotta wonder, Tori is a therapist, and has so far been a great judge of character, but with Amalia his radar went on the fritz.
 

Susanlynn, Gavivision....LOL. I remember Rod imagining Gavi at the brothel with all that lipstick and smoking that cigarette. I need to buy that dvd today.
 

Yep, although I was royally annoyed when Ernesto bedded Monica, at least now she is on his side and won't connive with sous-chef anymore.

On the other hand, she'll certainly be sharpening her knife for little Lorena, so I guess we're still in trouble.
 

Finally someone remembers DNA! Not insisting on that from the beginning was always the chink in Hort's armor of intelligence. She can be so shrewd but handled that horribly. Now I'm sure we're in for some convoluted plot to find some of Lorena's DNA somewhere for Sara to use for the test.
 

Yep, sounds like it Ferro. Perhaps another cat fight with hair pulling and, oops here's a few for Snorty while I'm at it...maybe no one will notice the color of the strand???? :)
 

Maybe I'm too morbid, but I was thinking Sara would go for blood. Get it on a kleenex or band-aid or under her fingernails, and then when it's time to give a sample she'll just say "here, I'll save you the trouble, look what I did to myself."

I think DNA is usually tested with a cheek-swab, though.

Another possibility might be for Sara to get a sample from Diana instead.
 

Gosh, guess I'm just a simple-minded brute but I figured Sara's response to the DNA threat was to bump off Hortensia, and from the previews...things did look grim. (or maybe that's just another teaser)
 

I can't bear the thought of Sara losing her dear abuelita!!

No, I want her to have to go through with the DNA test and find some way to cheat!
 

Is Diana Omar's daughter or his stepdaughter? If she is his stepdaughter, her DNA won't help Sara. . Sara will have to get some of Lorena's hair or saliva...or an unwilling donation from Vasco.
 

Kris, great recap! Thanks!

“Chalo’s attempt at becoming a real criminal is foiled by the arrival of the press.” LOL! Poor Chalo, too often a day late and a dollar short. He’s spooky but he’s not a great criminal mind.

“Just then Ern gets the news that the rude guy took his car so he runs off. Lore thinks that’s divine intervention.” There was a loose end here when the car came back—if Ivan had the car, how did Ern go after him and get him back? I couldn’t figure this car stuff out.

“At hell’s kitchen” LOL! It certainly is when Monica and Gonzalo are around!

“In Chalo’s hovel, he finally confronts Sara about putting the horns on him and he grabs her neck choking her. This looked pretty darn real. Too bad we know he’ll stop. She gets away but he gets her back in his death grip.” Chalo looked super spooky in these scenes. Like you, I considered it too bad he let her go. But, I love seeing Sara (the bad seed) running scared. It’s good for her to have someone who can intimidate her. She has no way in h*** to come up with 200K pesos in two days. She should sweat!

I hope that Snorty eventually gets her DNA testing that she wants. Of course she will, but it’ll probably be later and not sooner. Sara deserves to sweat about this, too, though. I agree with all y’all—what an exciting episode!!!

Julie, if they test Diana, it might not work--she's not related to Snorty. But, if she gets Lorena's DNA, it'll work.

Jeanne
 

And if they test Vasco, the DNA should show he's a male, right? So his won't work.
