QE Friday 11/14 Where Sara Burs with ire, Fafy burns with desire and California burns to the ground

I’m sorry about the title, but I can’t ignore what is happening here. I woke up to an orange morning, and to a lot of ashes everywhere. I live to the west of one of the fires and last night I was seeing in the news how the wind kept on moving the fire in our direction. The rational part of me tells me that I have nothing to worry. I’m still at least 4 cities away from the freeway fire (That’s how they are calling the fire in the Corona, Yorbalinda, Anaheim Area), but the irrational part of my brain has already made an inventory of what I would take; cat, bird, turtle, pictures, important papers, lap top, clothes… you get the picture . Anyway it is sad to see so much loss, and having to actually realize what is REALY important has put me in a philosophical mood. I apologize again.

After the rant I present to you for your enjoyment QE. NOW COMPLETE.

Bruno kisses Sara and tries to make out but Sara is not in the mood. Ernesto is hiding in plain sight and realizes that Bruno is not gay. Bruno jokingly tells Sara that he is getting jealous because as of lately, she doesn’t want to do the vertical mambo with him. -Is the old man fulfilling all your needs? Sara is very mad and yells at him to stop bothering her. She tells him that she is fuming because of the humiliation she had to endure on Hortensia’s hands. Bruno tries to play it down but Sara won’t have any of it. She wants revenge and tells Bruno that she wanted to tell Hortensia that she had been the one that had poisoned all the bankers. Of course Ernesto hears this and is shocked, he leaves and doesn’t hear Bruno trying to knock some sense into Sara. He tells her that she should stop obsessing over Lorena, but she yells with all her strength that she can’t, Lorena and Co. have to pay. Bruno doesn’t understand and Sara calls him mediocre. He calls himself practical.

Ernesto has left the loving couple to themselves and thought bubbles (yes ladies and gens, he doesn’t think aloud, we actually got a real thought bubble) that Sara is a monster, she has her two lovers in the same house and Fafy doesn’t even suspects. His first thoughts after his shock wears out is to contact Lorena, she needs to know that Sara is responsible for the demise of “Banquetes Armendaris”

Back to Sara and Bruno. He is getting into his violent mood, he yells at her (again) to stop obsessing, she is risking everything with her attitude, the fact that she is in the will is meaningless unless Faffy dies. Sara yells back that she doesn’t care! All she wants is to destroy Lorena. Bruno wants to know what Lorena did to deserve such hate. -To be born! To be always perfect, to have everything that I want. Bruno says almost to himself -”Estas fregada” you are messed up. He realizes that Sara is mentally ill and tells her that she won’t do anything crazy at least until Fafy dies. Sara tells him that he is a nobody, he can’t tell her what to do. Bruno tells her that he is her conscience, and he’ll stop her from do it anything crazy. He then tells her that she is going apeshit “Estas hecha una energumena” (remember that one guys?) and remembers that she was the same when she lost Alonslow. -you are not thinking about going back with him do you? Sara cools down immediately, she doesn’t Bruno to know that she is talking to Alonslow, and just tells him that she doesn’t want to be reminded of him.

Its morning now over the fair city of Mexico and Valeria is just arriving to her house, she finds Alonslow sleeping in the couch with her little girl. He tells her that Analis had a nightmare and wanted to cuddle. Valeria is very thankful and tells him that now is her turn to cuddle him “Ahora me toca ami apapacharte” do you want to eat breakfast? He says that he is very hungry. (is it just me or the music in the background at the end of this scene is “Pescador de hombres” ? I don’t know the name in English, but it is a song that is used at chuch this is a link to a very modernized version of it. I know that it doesn’t have anything to do with La novela, but I thought it was odd)

Lorena tries to cheer Zulema up by bringing her breakfast, but she is still very upset for the Greta incident, Julian arrives home and tells them the good news about his new job as a sports comentarist. He Congratulations all around. He notices that Zulema is not happy and Lore and Diana tell him that Greta was there. He is fuming and wants to go to yell at Greta and Omar. Zulema puts him in his place and tells him that Omar is his father and he should respect him. Julian says that that man is not his father. Zulema tells him to stop it, her problems with Omar are only theirs (Zulema and Omar) and the kids should not interfere.

Alonslow and Valeria are cooking breakfast. Valeria comments on his cooking skills and he tells her that he learned from Lorena. Not what Valeria wanted to hear. He then changes the subject and tells her that she is a very strong and beautiful woman, he is sure that she’ll find somebody that will appreciate her. Valeria says that nobody will want her with her kids. Alonslow tells her that her kids are wonderful and any man would be happy to have her and her kids. The kids (that oddly enough have been reduce to just one kid) enter the kitchen. Analis asks Alonslow if he is staying with them. Valeria tells her that he has his house and he was just visiting. -Could you visit more often then? Alonslow says that he’ll be there more often. Smiles all around.

At the Hortensia-now-Sara-and Fafy’s house, Fafy wants “breakfast” Sara can’t understand where he gets his stamina. He tells her he is a vampire that is draining all her youth (Creepy, but wouldn’t it be fun if it was true?) Sara is not in the mood and he says he’ll forgive her just because he has a business meeting.


Jimena arrives at Ernesto’s house. He is kind of back to his old neurotic self and scolds her for taking to long in coming back. Jimena laughs it off and tells him that if she had known that he was going to be mean to her she wouldn’t have come back. He apologizes and asks her about Lorena. Jimena tells him that she told Lorena everything. Ernesto wants to know Lorena’s reaction. Jimena tells him that she wanted to know the name of the Dr. Ernesto tells her that the Dr. is Bruno Palma. As soon as he said the name he realizes that it might be Diana’s ex-husband. Jimena utilizes the change of subjectt and tells him that Alonslow was there. Ernesto tells her that he doesn’t care. Alonslow can do whatever he wants, he knows that Lorena won’t give into his antics. Jimena tells him that she is almost sure that Lorena loves Alonslow. They contained themselves because she was there, but Lorena almost jumped Alonslow on the spot. Ernesto looks conflicted and tells her that he has faith and he knows that Lorena loves him, besides “ojos que no ven Corazon que no siente” if my eyes don’t see it my heart doesn’t feel it. Jimena says that she tells him this things because she is his friend and doesn’t want to see him suffer. Ernesto thanks her for being such a loyal friend (if you only new Ernesto!) Jimena wants to know what he is doing next. He says that he’ll keep investigating until he finds hard evidence of Sara’s crimes.

Ivan is talking to his friend when they see Betina approaching. Ivan tells his friend that Betina is upset with him because he did not write the letter she wanted. The “Friend” tells him that Betina must be a spoiled brat and he should dump her. Ivan doesn’t want to talk about it and leaves. As soon as Ivan leaves, the friend calls Betina over and start putting the moves on her. Betina ignores him and leaves.

Paula and Ray are having breakfast, Ray got a huitlacoche omelet. Paula tastes it and declares it delicious! Ray asks her if she wants to go out with him. She says yes, but he needs to give her time. He says he’ll give her all the time in the world.

Julian sees Alonslow in the Living Room. He apologizes to Alonslow for the way he acted when his mom was on coma. Alonslow tells him that he understands and not to worry about it. Lorena offers Julian breakfast, but he says that he has something to do, he goes into another room. Diana and Hortensia arrive home and see Alonslow and Lorena. Lorena tells Hortensia that she has something to tell her.

Maruja visits Valeria, she tells her that she was worried about the kids because she couldn’t help her. Valeria tells her that Alonslow stayed with the kids. Maruja is relieved that he helped and tells Valeria that Alonslow must be a very good friend. Valeria then starts singing Alonslow’s praises. Maruja notices that Valeria is little too enthusiastic and asks her if she feels something else for Alonslow. Valeria breaks down and finally confesses that she is in love with Alonslow. Cara impactada de Maruja.

Julian is standing outside Rosi’s house, he wants to go in, but hesitates. Rosi comes out and sees him, they talk a few minutes awkwardly. Finally Rosi tells him that she has to leave. Julian wants to go with her, but she doesn’t allow it. She leaves and Julian just looks at her sadly.
Hortensia is incensed, she says that she knew that Sara had something to do with the poisoning of the bankers. She can’t believe that Sara would be so callous and risk so many people’s lives. Right then Lorena’s phone rings, it’s Jimena with the name of the Dr. It is Bruno Palma. Cara de impactada de Lorena.

Jimena is at Greta’s house. She says bye to Lorena and Greta walks in, she is ready to go out because she can’t stand to be in the house without Omar. Jimena tells her that she needs to get used to been alone because Omar is not coming back after the show she did at work. Greta tells Jimena that she is sure he is coming back and starts getting upset at Jimena. Jimena tells her that if Greta wants to be by herself she can leave too. Greta changes her tune and asks Jimena to forgive her and not to go because she doesn’t like to be alone.

Back to Lorena and Co. It is Diana’s turn to fume. She knew that Bruno liked Sara, of course they are together! They deserve each other both are vermin. Alonslow is worried because Sara is obsessed with Lorena, and he is sure that if she is daring show her face again she is planning something big. Cara de impactado all around. Zulema comes out, she says she is ready to go. Lorena tells everybody not to tell Zulema. Alonslow tells Zulema that she looks beautiful. Zulema beams.

Bruno is walking on the street when a car approaches, It’s Javivi and some friends he met in the club. He tells Bruno that he is now behaving like a real man he is ready to escape to New York with Bruno. Bruno tells him that he is going to talk to him like a man. He gives Javivi the “is not me it’s you” line. You are not my type, I don’t like you etc. Javivi cries and tries to hug him. The other two tell Bruno not to be mean to Javivi “No seas abusadora” Don’t be abusive, (They use the feminine, since Bruno is a man it should have been “no seas abusador” I just thought it was odd, I think they are doing this because they think that Bruno is gay) Bruno looks worried.

Zulema thanks Alonslow for thinking on her, it was a great idea. Lorena tells her that Alonslow is very caring and nice. Zulema tells her that he is just the man for her. Alonslow agrees. Lorena tells them to stop it or she’ll have to take a taxi home. Alonslow promises that he won’t say again that he loves her and wants to marry her and wants to have a thousand kids with her. Lorena just rolls her eyes.

Back to Bruno and Javivi. Javivi jumps on Bruno and tries to kiss him the friends start egging them to kiss. Bruno is able to push Javivi out. The friends tell Bruno not to hurt Javivi. Bruno tells them to mind their own business and calls one of them an idiot. They don’t like this and one of them holds Bruno while Javivi and the other take fighting stances. Bruno looks really worried now.

Zulema and Lorena are sitting at a park bench. She is very thankful because she has been given a second chance, she woke up to good things and to bad things. Lorena asks her if he thinks that she’ll ever be able to forgive Omar. Zulema says that not at this point, she is still hurting a lot. Alonslow comes back with gelatinas and tells them that they could rent a bike and give Zulema a ride. Zulema and Lorena think this is a great idea.

Maruja and Jaime are eating colchones Bimbo (at least they don’t stop to say how healthy and how delicious the bred is) Jaime tells Maruja that Omar quitted his job, and is wondering if maybe Omar could work with them. Maruja tells him that it is not a good idea because she thinks that Diana and Lorena won’t agree.

Felipe is trying to befriend Saulito but he is to hard with the kid. Diana looks apprehensively.
Patty is giving vasco a massage. He says that it feels very good. She kisses him and tells him that it feels better with kisses, he agrees. Patty tells him that she loves him and Vasco tells her that she enchants him. Patty wants to hear that he loves her too, but Vasco can’t lie to her, he tells her that he is not sure. Patty gets sad and tells him that she has to go. Vasco tries to stop her but can’t. Patty leaves.

Bruno is back at home with Sara nursing a black eye. Sara makes fun of him and Javivi’s friends. Bruno is so mad that he has decided to do the job on Fafy’s breaks tonight. He warns Sara not to go out with him tomorrow. Sara is very happy.

I guess it is now the next day Alonslow is in his office when Valeria comes in and tells him that she wanted to go out with him and her kids yesterday. He tells her that he couldn’t go because he went out with Lorena and Zulema. Valeria’s face tells us how she feels, but Alonslow is oblivious to this. He then tells Valeria tat he found out that Bruno was involved with the poisonings that bankrupted “Banquetes Armendaris” Cara impactada de Valeria.

Erenesto and Ivan are setting the table for breakfast. Ivan wants to know what is wrong Ernesto tells him that he is worried that Alonslow is gaining territory with Lorena because he can’t get close to her. He asks Ivan if maybe he could ask Betina what is he doing. Ivan tells him that he fought with Bettina because of a corny letter Ernesto tells Ivan that woman like romanticism and like details. Ivan finally gets it that he messed it up with Bettina. Gina and brother arrive and want to go out with Lorena. Ernesto tells them that they can’t go out with Lorena, but after breakfast they are going to a museum. They are all happy.

Bettina is in the chat room when somebody enter it. It is Jorge Ivan’s friend. He sends Bettina a letter where he declares his love. Bettina has mixed feelings.

Fafy is ready to go out. He asks Sara to go with him to play golf. Sara tells him that she has to go to the office, but she’ll see him later.

Sara calls Bruno. He wants to know if Fafy is dead, Sara tells him that no, but they can start countdown because when she left Fafy was about to leave. We see Fafy getting in his car and we hear Sara and Bruno in the background. Bruno says that it was very easy to fix the breaks. Sara says that she is ready to swim in money. Fafy turns on his car.

The end

Maricruz, So sorry about all the fires. The rest of us are watching and worrying about y'all. Good idea to have a mental inventory about what to take. We probably should all do that - who knows what disasters could loom... Please keep us posted about your situation.

Great recap, part 1. Kinda nice to read it in bits since my old eyes don't like reading very much from the computer screen at one time.
 

I wondered if anyone we knew was near those fires... that is too scary! I sure hope you guys get a nice, long, soaking, out-of-season miracle rain or something!
 

Thanks for the recap Maricruz. I'll be praying that you stay safe from the fires.

It would be fun if Fafy were a vampire. Then the whole death by car would be moot.
 

Our prayers are with you Maricruz. Hopefully the recaps kept your mind busy for a little bit from all the sadness you can see out the window. Must be rough to feel so powerless when tragedy is so close. Take care, and hope this all dies down very soon for everybody's sake.

Could that Jimena be a bigger snake? I wanted to choke her as she "innocently" kept telling Ern how she'd hate to see him get hurt...Grrrr! What a beyotch!
 

Maricruz~~~Thanks for doing the recap in the middle of such a scary scenario. I am sending good vibrations to you and everyone out there on the left coast. Situations like that truly do make a person realize what's really important and puts the everyday worries and frustrations we all deal with in perspective. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ~~~
 

Maricruz, You are so incredible to stay focused so you could do this fine recap. I followed the Padre Jony lead and agree with you that it is ever so strange to invoke this music with these wicked people. Hmmmmm.

I too hope that Fafy will outwit the foxy Sara who so needs a pie cart coming her way. Each of these episodes is so interesting in these final weeks.

I will be sending all my best thoughts and hopes your way. Be safe. It certainly makes one value the right things when our material world is threatened but I pray your family including all the creatures remain safe and sound.
 

Maricruz, I send all my best thoughts to you during this scary time. Fires are absolutely frightening. You're a wonder to be able to pull off a recap during such a nerve-wracking time.

I like the Fafy and Sara scenes, they're hilarious with all his clueless eagerness and her nasty eye-rolling.

Things are getting very exciting in QE land!
 

Thanks Maricruz for hanging in there. It just goes to show us that some problems really aren't problems. A word here, a snark there, 'tis nothing. Hoping you can ease your mind, and hope we help to distract. Love your recap so far!!! Wishing you onshores...
 

Maricruz, thank you so much for subbing again so I could be with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday this weekend! It’s a great first part! My thoughts are with you, too. It can’t be any fun sitting there with the fires close enough to see, and the concern that it might get closer. I agree with the others; our prayers are with you. Thank you again!

Jeanne
 

Maricruz...please don't apologize for the "rant". The opening paragraphs where the recapper gives us a little idea of what's going on in his life is my favorite part!

For me the recap is like a letter from a dear friend. First the personal information on how he or she is, then an update on things in general...or in this case...the episode.

Anyway, just know that you are in our prayers, as are all those involved in this frigtening, powerful fire.

We lived in Monrovia waaaaaay back in 1948 when it was mostly orange groves and dust and dirt. We rented a house with a barn, an avocado and lemon tree in the backyard and orange groves on either side. After living the previous year in the mining hills of Towanda, Pennsylvania, it was a real culture shock!

Loved your translation of "estas fregada" and of course our old favorite "energumeno". Haven't tried your link yet but assume the English would be similar to "I will make you fishers of men" or some such thing as that's the way our English Bible reads.
 

Maricruz: Sending prayers to you and all those affected by the fires. Your title was sadly perfect, all the way around. Take care. Diana in MA.
 

Thank you Emilia, Julie, Karen,margarita chilaquiles, Susanlyn, cherylnewmex, cp'nsylvia, K, schoolmarm, Judyb and Diana for your prayers. They mean a lot to me.
I was able to finally finish the recap and I just posted it.
It has been kind of scary because is the first time the fires are close to my area. Like I said I know we are far enough, but you could see the smoke everywhere. And yesterday was so hot, it was kind of weird because you could hardly see the sun, however it was so hot that you could feel the heat coming from above, kind of like when you open the oven. The fires have been devastating, we have had fires before, but I think this is the first time (at least in Los Angeles county) that so many houses have burnt. Especially sad was the destruction of a Mobil home park where a lot of retirees lived. It seems that thankfully there are no casualties, but so far have been thousands of acres burn and at least 20,000 people evacuated.

Today finally the Santa Ana winds have stop and the firefighters have been able to contain the fires. It seems that the weather is finally helping and humidity has gone up a little. We need rain so bad, but alas it seems this will be another dry winter.

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers, I’m also praying for all that people that lost their houses.
 

It was a relief to hear from you, Maricruz! I was afraid you'd have to leave because of the smoke, or something...

That Jorge kid is a sneaky little brat, isn't he? He's probably related to Jimena.
 

Yeah that Jorge kid - if he were an adult we'd have all sorts of grisly deaths planned for him. What kind of horrible end do you wish for for a kid?
 

Hhhmmm, a fate for Jorge...probably something simple but embarrassing. Isn't there a guy code that you aren't supposed to go after your friend's girl? Maybe Ivan and Betina could reconcile and she could tell him about Jorge and then Ivan could tell all the guys at the b-ball court that he's a girlfriend stealer. Then none of the guys will want to shoot hoops with him. It's not horrible but for a teenager, it would be devastating and he might actually learn his lesson.
 

Yeah, I think Jorge's going to get a reputation. That might be bad enough.
 

Margarita I guarantee what you said will come to pass, I was hoping for something a little more damaging. I guess if I think back to being 13 or whatever these kids are, that would be pretty devastating. I remember dying of embarrassment just from some kid reading a note I wrote to a girl when I was in junior high. Ah if only life were that simple now.
