QE Tuesday 11/25/08 - Friendship, friendship, it's the perfect blendship; when other friendships have been forgot, ours will still be...NOT
Hola amigos! I'm recapping for JudyB tonight who is recapping the final episode on Friday. I know I promised to get some Bimbo Colchones and report back but I couldn't find them on the Bimbo rack. Lots of Polverones, Bimbunuelos (Margarita's favorite) and Pan Seco but no Colchones. Considering their first few ingredients contain the tryptich of culinary evil, bleached flour, high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oil, perhaps it's not such a loss after all. (But will that stop my from trying them if I get a chance? Hell no!)
Last night:
Sara is being transported to the prison, she pulls the gun out of her stupid guard's waistband and shoots him and the driver. The car crashes and flips. She shoots out the window, unlocks her cuffs and squeezes out of the overturned car which is unlucky number 13 I notice. She's quite the bad girl, right up there with Lena Olin in Romeo is Bleeding.
Tonight:
Omar arrives at the lesser house and is greeted warmly by Zuly and the nuns. He calls Zuly "gordita" and the sister suggests he come up with another nickname (apodo).
Omar invites the sisters and the family on an outing to the historic city center. Snorty chooses not to go. "Why not?" demands Lorena. Snorty informs them she's going to look for an apartment.
Over at their place Julian checks out Rossy's belly and listens for sounds of Julian Junior. Rossy tells him the bebe won't answer because it's going to be a Lucia. Julian disagrees, the baby itself says it's Julian.
Omar, Zuly and Lorena tell Snorty they want her to stay. Yes, Omar's moving back in but Diana will probably marry Vasco and leave. "And will you marry?" Snorty asks Lorena. Lor won't tell, "we're talking about you abuela."
A limping and injured Sara hails a car and tells the driver she had an accident. Por favor help me she pathetically begs. The nice young woman agrees to take Sara to the next town; as thanks Sara handcuffs the woman, shoves her in the back seat, points her gun at her and tells her it's not her lucky day. If she behaves herself she won't get shot. For good measure Sara whacks her on the head with the gun and hisses with her claymation mouth "I told you not to lift your head!"
Incredibly stupid Icky meets some shady guy who pirates movies. Icky tells him as a sign of good faith he wants to be partners and is prepared to invest 2 million pesos (150,710 USD) in the business. Shady guys says he likes a man with guts. (Agallas = guts, which is an interesting word to use because agalla can also mean greed.) Self-deluded Icky tells the guy when it comes to business he's a dead shot (donde pongo el ojo, pongo la bala = where I put my eye I put the bullet). Icky's got big plans to double the business but he'll probably end up wanting to put the bullet in his own eye.
Sara stops at a store and buys some hankies and supplies. The poor victim is still knocked out in the back seat but it was pretty stupid of Sara to just stop the car and leave the victim laying by herself.
Later Sara pulls off to the side of the road where she ties up the victim's feet with twine and shrieks and terrorizes her some more. Victim suggests Sara let her go but Sara's got plans, she's going to take the victim with her to visit her little sister. Victim tells Sara she's crazy which really makes Sara go BSC. Sara makes the victim apologize to her then she ties up victim's mouth with the handkerchief.
Sara mocks the poor girl's ID and says it will come in handy. "Your last name is Fortuna, how ironic!" Then she uses her lipstick and puts on her sunglasses and says it's time to visit her sister. Man, it's one thing to hit a woman on the head with a gun but to use her lipstick? That's just wrong.
In contrast we share a happy family scene at the park with Barb and Diana watching Vasco play with Saulito. Barb's got the blues thinking about Chalo. At least she knows he didn't kill himself and he died knowing Barb loved him. Life was very unjust to him. Barb says she put his ashes under a beautiful oak tree near Cuernevaca. They agree that Sara is a monster for killing him.
Sara tells her victim to call Lorena, say she's her friend Le-ti-cia from the institute and find out where Lorena is. Luckily Lorena isn't there and Sara won't leave a message. Then she calls Al and becomes crazy and silent when he answers. Victim asks who Sara called and Sara says it's the only man she's ever loved but now the imbecile is in love with her sister. She glares insanely at the victim who I'm guessing will stop asking questions.
Icky tells his Mami they're lucky, he found a buyer for the house. She's reluctant, it's too soon. Icky the great businessman tells her he reduced the price for a quick sale, it's a selling strategy. Ha, I laughed out loud at that, what a sombrero de culo. She fears he's undersold and will squander their money. He asks, "Don't you trust me? Forget this little house and think of the mansion I'm going to buy you". Again Mami's not happy to hear this. "Who loves you mami, who loves you?" kissy kissy. Icky is absolutely the perfect name for him. Creepy would be good too, also Smarmy.
Lorena, her family and the sisters are enjoying lunch at an upstairs restaurant with a great view of the city. Unfortunately the nuns have to leave tomorrow. "No no please stay," begs Lor. "OK we'll stay," they laugh, besides they want to see who Lorena chooses, Ernesto or Alonso. One nun prefers Ernesto, the other thinks it's good to have a doctor in the family. Snorty pipes up "they say it's good to choose a doctor, a lawyer or an accountant". (Yawn...but then again look who's talking, I've been living with a SW engineer for 20 years. Take it from me, still waters run deep with the studious types.) The funny nun jokes one doesn't get married for a consultation. Snorty gets snooty and the nun has to apologize. Ha, way to stick it to the old bat, sister.
Over at Ern's house the kids are helping him make a mess with flour. They say they want to grow up to be a chef just like Ernesto. Ivan strolls into the kitchen and says he's grabbing some sodas for himself and Jorge. Gina doesn't like Jorge and wonders why Ivan hangs out with him. Ern asks about Betina and Ivan says he's tired of putting up with her girlishness. Gina says she could tell by their eyes that Ivan and Betina still like each other. She singsongs that she knows Ivan still likes Betina just like their uncle likes Lorena. She's a regular Greek chorus without teeth, this one.
Jorge emails Betina to ask her to go dancing but she refuses. She writes that even though Ivan doesn't like her she still likes him and it will take her a long time to forget him. Jorge tells himself he's sure he'll convince her. He jumps up and takes off without deleting his message from Ivan's laptop. Of course Ivan sees her message and what Jorge wrote, "I'm not like that idiot Ivan who hears your name and speaks badly of you." Jorge's full perfidy is revealed and Ivan is on the warpath.
Over at the clinic Val tells Al about her opportunity to study in Central America but she doesn't want to leave the kids. Al offers to help watch them which is sweet but also stupid considering she's afraid Icky will steal them. She asks Al how last night went and he tells her the time wasn't right, not to mention Ernesto showed up. She tells Al not to be insecure, if she were Lor she would say yes to him; Chef Ernesto Mendiola doesn't hold a candle to him. (no te llega ni a los talones) Al says she's just saying that because she likes him. "You have no idea how much," she thought bubbles.
Tori bitches to Paula that Al lost his great opportunity with Lorena. He thinks they need to think of another strategy and Al should keep pushing every ten minutes. Pau doesn't think that's a good idea, take the case of Jorge who keeps pestering Betina. We hear the doorbell ring in the background. Paula says she's sure Lorena really likes Al, but does she love him?
It's Bad Hair Jorge come to torment Betina some more. She wants nothing to do with him and tells him to get out, he's crazy! "Yes Loco for you," he says, grabbing her and trying to force a kiss on her. Bettina struggles, just then Ivan runs in and pulls Jorge off of her. Jorge lands a punch and Ivan knees him in the nuts and throws him to the ground. Betina screams and when Tori and Paula come in Jorge the chicken shit runs off. Ivan tells Betina he's been an idiot, can they talk?
Betina tells Ivan that Jorge stalked her in the chat room but she doesn't like him. She knows Ivan doesn't love her but she still loves him. "I love you too!" he swears. The young lovebirds hug and all is well. Another story line neatly wrapped up.
Tori and Paula hide out in the bedroom to watch their program but it's interrupted by the news.
Over at Ern's house he and the kids are also watching. Sara de la Cruz has escaped! She killed one guy and gravely wounded another. He tries to call Lorena but gets a generic recording.
Tori calls Al to warn him because Al is Sara's primary obsession after Lorena. Al says he's sure Sara tried to call him. Al also tries to call Lorena and he gets the same recording.
Lorena arrives home with her family as Sara watches from the car. BSC Sara tells her victim that after all she's told her surely she'll agree that both she and Sara cannot live in the same world and luckily it's she (Sara) who has the gun. She pulls out the gun and aims it at Lorena as her backseat victim watches, horrified.
Whew! Suddenly we hear a siren and the police arrive just in time to warn Lorena about Sara's escape. Sara drives off unnoticed.
The policeman warns the family to be careful. They are patrolling the area and will also warn Santiago. They should assume Sara is armed and dangerous. Ya think?
Icky completes the deal over the phone and shouts to his Mami to pack her bags, he's sold the house for 2 million pesos, then he'll invest it all. "All of it?" mami asks, looking like she swallowed a lemon. Icky insists he'll turn a quick sure-fire deal and then buy her everything she deserves. Mami tries to look hopeful but she's having serious doubts.
Lorena tells the sisters, Snorty, Zuly and Omar that Al and Ernesto already know about Sara and Julian and Diana are together. Omar is angry that they have to hide out because of Sara. Snorty says Sara is obsessed. Zuly's scared.
It's dark and Sara is pissed off and crazier than ever. She asks her victim what should they do? Does she have any good ideas? The victim whimpers when Sara says they're going to spend the night together. Then she points the gun at her head, tells her SHUT UP DON'T BOTHER ME and goes all Play Misty for Me.
Maruja calls Val and says with the current situation she can't come over. Val says Al is worried about Lorena but she (Val) is worried about him. She loves him and has to listen to him talk all day about Lorena. Maru says she knows what it's like to love and not be able to say anything, maybe it would be best if Valeria tries to forget Al.
Over at the lesser house Zuly is muy nerviosa and Lor tells her family to have faith in the authorities, surely they'll catch Sara. She must be talking about different authorities from the ones who let themselves get shot. They think Lorena should get herself back to the nunnery and the sisters agree, she'll be well-guarded there. (?) Omar says they'll leave first thing in the a.m. They decide he'll spend the night there to help guard Lorena. The doorbell rings and to their relief it's Alonso. They discuss that he got a call that he's sure was from Sara. Snorty suggests he give the number to the police. What? He hasn't done that yet? Good lord he's a dope.
Paula and Raimundo visit Valeria and bring her a bottle of her favorite tequila. Val says Jaime and Maru won't join them due to the Sara situation. This is news to Rai and Paula tells him instead of playing cards they're going to tell him a tale of terror.
Back at the lesser house the doorbell rings again. Who could it be? Ernesto this time. He's not sure it's a good idea for Lorena to go to the orphanage, surely Sara will look for her there. Omar gives some lame excuse that the police will be watching the roads. Ern's not convinced and wants to take her himself. She says he needs to stay with his kids to protect them. Both he and Alonso are in danger from Sara. Al looks at Ernesto belligerantly. Or maybe he's just constipated again. Which reminds me, my friend Synthia's mom who is from Costa Rica told me that in her country "impactado" also means constipated. So let's just say that Al is "impactado" and leave it at that.
In the dark car of terror Sara thought bubbles "Lorena, if I'm not happy you won't be either, if I fall you fall with me; we're united forever and nothing can separate us". Victim's phone rings and and when Sara shoves the phone in her face, "do you recognize this number?", victim shakes her head no. Sara mutters she was an idiot to call Al, that traitor must have ratted her out to the police and now they're hunting her. She vows from this moment they won't know a thing, not until she takes control.
Paula chatters away that her family is involved in this terrible story because Al is in love with Lorena. She's afraid that Lorena is the only woman who can make Al happy, right Valeria? Valeria's got definite opinions that Al deserves someone who will love him wholeheartedly, he shouldn't be chasing after Lorena. Raimundo pointedly observes Val's reactions. When Val leaves the room he tells Paula that Val is in love with Alonso. Que??? Paula is impactada.
Our two galanes want to stay the night with Lorena to protect her but she, and the nuns, tell them both to leave. Neither wants to leave before the other and there's some obligatory chest puffing until she tells them she loves them both (which I thought was kind of weird). Al tells her it's not possible that she loves them equally. She gives some lame reasoning until Ernesto tells her to take all the time she needs because it's a decision she'll live with forever, and that's what she is to him...forever. He leaves after scoring big with this one. Now it's Al's turn to state his case. He says "Yeah what he said plus blah blah blah give me a chance." He kisses her but she doesn't kiss back, just looks at him sadly. Bummer for him.
Outside Ernesto waits for Al. He tells Al that if Lorena chooses him (Al) that he'd better make her happy, love her more than anyone. "You don't know how much I love her," challenges Al. "No more than I do," counters Ern. He tells Al that he's the one who, step by step, helped mend the heart that Alonso broke and taught her to trust again. Al is speechless. Score another one for the chef.
Zuly finds Lorena crying. Lor says both guys were very sweet but she needs a sign. Accompanied by the goofy music she recalls meeting Al in the rain, Al was her first love, it was love at first sight, she imagined she'd marry him and have a family, then thanks to him she found her real family. She gave him a second chance but it wasn't she who separated them again. With Al she was like a girl with dreams and illusions. When she met Ernesto, (the more mature, romantic music begins) she never imagined she'd get a guy like him but little by little she fell in love again and her wounds were healed. In spite of her doubts she learned to trust. When his sister died she saw what kind a man he really is, a loving father day and night. He was always there for her, patient, loving, offering her the same love he offered her the first day and it never stopped. Zuly asks, "What's the signal you're hoping for?" We hear thunder crack..."Alonso," answers Lorena. Gah! Estupida! We go to commercial.
Zuly asks, "Is this the sign? the rain?" Then Lorena hears Ernesto's last words, "You taugh me that it's possible to love another forever and, and that's what you are to me, forever" and she shakes her head. She tells Zuly that the sign is what Ernesto said to her before he left.
Ivan finds his tío in a darkened room. Ern is crying; he tells Ivan he thinks he's lost Lorena and he doesn't know if he'll be able to learn to live without her. Ernesto cries on Ivan's shoulder. I proclaim it to be a negative 5 on the ugly crying scale.
Lorena tells Zuly that Al's kiss proved that she cares for Alonso but she doesn't love him. What she feels for Ernesto is very different, she wants to be with him. She no longer has any doubts. Zuly hugs her and says Ern's a great guy. Hooray!!
Next morning Ern is helping the cute kids get dressed for school. Gina's worried, he's kissing them so much is he going somewhere? He reminds them they're going to visit Aunt Gladys but not to worry, he's not sad. It looks like one of Gina's front teeth is finally growing in. Ivan comforts his tío and tells him he has a bad feeling. Shoot, must be those anvils. Ern tells Ivan to be careful and to take care of the kids. The phone rings, it's Lorena. She wants to talk to Ernesto but not on the phone, can he come right away? He does a little hop up and down and hopes to God she's got good news. I can't see any guy in real life behaving like this but it's kind of fun to watch. If only.
Over at the lesser house Lorena serves her world-famous muffins while they all wait for Ernesto to arrive. Snorty puts in her two pesos worth, she preferred Alonso but she like Ernesto well enough. That's fine grandma, now shut it.
Icky and Mami make the house sale. The realtor warns Catalina that once she signs she can't change her mind without a 25% penalty. Mami is reluctant to sign but of course she does what sonny wants. The realtor gives Icky his check and tells them they need to leave in a week; he's ready to move out tomorrow. Gosh how exciting, another hairbrained scheme, and this time mom will be ruined too!
Lorena hears a honk, it's Ernesto!! She runs outside and sees Chef Hawt getting out of his car with a bouquet of roses. He puts his hand over his heart and looks hopefully looks at her. She puts her hands on her heart and nods. They run to each other and stand in the middle of the street like a couple of sitting ducks. Sara careens around the corner, mouth open in anticipation of the carnage she's about to cause. "NO-O-O-O-O-O!" yells Ernesto as he pushes Lorena out of the way. Sara hits Ernesto and the bouquet of red roses flies across the windshield as Sara screeches away, a look of gleeful and orgasmic insanity on her face. She sees two bodies in her mirror and the camera pans to Lorena and Ernesto lying together, unconscious on the pavement.
That's it, my last recap of Querida Enemiga. I know we all thought this one was a bit slow at the beginning but a kind commenter promised it would improve and told us to hang in there. I'm glad we did because we were rewarded with some of the best writing and acting ever. A huge thanks to all our commenters and I hope to see you all on Tontas!
Bonus: No preview of tomorrow but I think you'll all be glad to know that after Sara murdered him Bruno was reincarnated as some sort of Jaguar man. Enjoy and laugh as I did: Marco Mendez.

She gives some lame reasoning until Ernesto tells her to take all the time she needs because it's a decision she'll live with forever, and that's what she is to him...forever. He leaves after scoring big with this one. Now it's Al's turn to state his case. He says "Yeah what he said plus blah blah blah give me a chance." He kisses her but she doesn't kiss back, just looks at him sadly. Bummer for him.
Outside Ernesto waits for Al. He tells Al that if Lorena chooses him (Al) that he'd better make her happy, love her more than anyone. "You don't know how much I love her," challenges Al. "No more than I do," counters Ern. He tells Al that he's the one who, step by step, helped mend the heart that Alonso broke and taught her to trust again. Al is speechless. Score another one for the chef.
Zuly finds Lorena crying. Lor says both guys were very sweet but she needs a sign. Accompanied by the goofy music she recalls meeting Al in the rain, Al was her first love, it was love at first sight, she imagined she'd marry him and have a family, then thanks to him she found her real family. She gave him a second chance but it wasn't she who separated them again. With Al she was like a girl with dreams and illusions. When she met Ernesto, (the more mature, romantic music begins) she never imagined she'd get a guy like him but little by little she fell in love again and her wounds were healed. In spite of her doubts she learned to trust. When his sister died she saw what kind a man he really is, a loving father day and night. He was always there for her, patient, loving, offering her the same love he offered her the first day and it never stopped. Zuly asks, "What's the signal you're hoping for?" We hear thunder crack..."Alonso," answers Lorena. Gah! Estupida! We go to commercial.
Zuly asks, "Is this the sign? the rain?" Then Lorena hears Ernesto's last words, "You taugh me that it's possible to love another forever and, and that's what you are to me, forever" and she shakes her head. She tells Zuly that the sign is what Ernesto said to her before he left.
Ivan finds his tío in a darkened room. Ern is crying; he tells Ivan he thinks he's lost Lorena and he doesn't know if he'll be able to learn to live without her. Ernesto cries on Ivan's shoulder. I proclaim it to be a negative 5 on the ugly crying scale.
Lorena tells Zuly that Al's kiss proved that she cares for Alonso but she doesn't love him. What she feels for Ernesto is very different, she wants to be with him. She no longer has any doubts. Zuly hugs her and says Ern's a great guy. Hooray!!
Next morning Ern is helping the cute kids get dressed for school. Gina's worried, he's kissing them so much is he going somewhere? He reminds them they're going to visit Aunt Gladys but not to worry, he's not sad. It looks like one of Gina's front teeth is finally growing in. Ivan comforts his tío and tells him he has a bad feeling. Shoot, must be those anvils. Ern tells Ivan to be careful and to take care of the kids. The phone rings, it's Lorena. She wants to talk to Ernesto but not on the phone, can he come right away? He does a little hop up and down and hopes to God she's got good news. I can't see any guy in real life behaving like this but it's kind of fun to watch. If only.
Over at the lesser house Lorena serves her world-famous muffins while they all wait for Ernesto to arrive. Snorty puts in her two pesos worth, she preferred Alonso but she like Ernesto well enough. That's fine grandma, now shut it.
Icky and Mami make the house sale. The realtor warns Catalina that once she signs she can't change her mind without a 25% penalty. Mami is reluctant to sign but of course she does what sonny wants. The realtor gives Icky his check and tells them they need to leave in a week; he's ready to move out tomorrow. Gosh how exciting, another hairbrained scheme, and this time mom will be ruined too!
Lorena hears a honk, it's Ernesto!! She runs outside and sees Chef Hawt getting out of his car with a bouquet of roses. He puts his hand over his heart and looks hopefully looks at her. She puts her hands on her heart and nods. They run to each other and stand in the middle of the street like a couple of sitting ducks. Sara careens around the corner, mouth open in anticipation of the carnage she's about to cause. "NO-O-O-O-O-O!" yells Ernesto as he pushes Lorena out of the way. Sara hits Ernesto and the bouquet of red roses flies across the windshield as Sara screeches away, a look of gleeful and orgasmic insanity on her face. She sees two bodies in her mirror and the camera pans to Lorena and Ernesto lying together, unconscious on the pavement.
That's it, my last recap of Querida Enemiga. I know we all thought this one was a bit slow at the beginning but a kind commenter promised it would improve and told us to hang in there. I'm glad we did because we were rewarded with some of the best writing and acting ever. A huge thanks to all our commenters and I hope to see you all on Tontas!
Bonus: No preview of tomorrow but I think you'll all be glad to know that after Sara murdered him Bruno was reincarnated as some sort of Jaguar man. Enjoy and laugh as I did: Marco Mendez.

Whoa...you were on your game last night, amiga. Great recap. Lots of funny lines and I love the title. Rosemary Clooney's voice and that ditty will be running through my mind all day. Then I'll update to Bette Midler.
Particularly enjoyed your quip about Sara using her victim's lipstick and then the "sombrero de culo" you snuk in. Trying to avoid detection were you?! That Becksterism jumped right out at me.
The writers really got me again. When the thunder and rain started and Lorena said Alonso, my heart sank. And stayed low all through the commercials. Those rats!
Team Ernesto wins...if they both live right? And do you suppose they'll both be transported to our favorite clinic where Alonso and Valeria will battle to save their lives? Can't wait.
Oh and "impactado/constipated" too funny. One of my nephews had impacted bowels as a baby so this is a medical term...maybe similar in all languages. But of course at CARAY CARAY we create our own language. That's the fun part.
Thanks again, Sylvia...this was a ripping good recap.

OH NOES. The thought crossed my mind that one of the galans might risk life and limb to save Lor from Sara , I couldn't even type that thought. With my limited Spanish, I thought that Lor had picked Alonslow when she smiled at Zully and uttered his name. Then , when I saw her run to Ernie, I figured that she had picked him...right before.... Well, that was horrifying. Sara is NOT supposed to be driving the pie truck. She has really bought her ticket to a terrible death now. She just sealed the deal. Yes, BSC is her tragic flaw...that and that hat.

Ahoy ! Cap'n Sylvia~~~~You have outdone yourself on this one. I laughed..I cried.. The writers really did play with us like a cat with a mouse, didn't they ? By the by, does Mexico have homeless sheters because that is where Mami is going to end up. Do you think we are going to hear anymore of The Ballad of Homeless Icky and His Mami'' or are we just to presume that his business acumen once again was nonexistent and his big pirating plans went bust. Icky, I know pirate, and you are no Ric Ric Ric. The scenario in my head is that the police walk in just after Icky settles himself behind that desk and close up that pirating operation...case closed. [PSA for illegal distributing .] Thanks, Sylvia, I always love your clever, funny recaps. If you were a nun, you would be a funny nun. I don't know if I'll like Tontas because no one in the cast interests me, but I like to hang out with you guys, so I'll check it out. ~~~Susanlynn, married to a funny accountant

You guys finally got your wish with Lor & Ern, but see where it ended?
Let's just fast forward and see what happens.
Ern becomes a contestant on "Hell's Kitchen" and naturally wins first place which is his very own restaurant in New York city and becomes the number one Mexican restaurant; Lor goes back to the orphanage where she cooks for the young girls,as well as teaching them Haute Cuisine as well as delicious meals on a shoestring; Al moved to Japan where he is employed by the Japanese Sumo Wrestling Association,counseling retired Sumo wrestlers in losing weight safely in order to enjoy their retirement years;Val has been promoted to head of Clinic #23 after Dra. S. retired. Under her able leadership the clinic has been upgraded to Clinic #20;Torbio has developed a line of delicious ice creams , being so successful they are available in the U.S., two of the most popular flavors being "Tequilla Sunrise and Black Bean-Green Chiles;Ivan is currently writing verses for American Greetings and Hallmark, you were probably convinced to buy the card in your your hand by his verse;Betina has a number of best sellers in the "Teenage Lovelorn Advice for Dummies" line;Gina who has grown into a lovely young lady, has a growing practice as a brilliant OralSurgeon,
Orthodontist often treating the poor for free;Vasco has been banned from the ecological scene after his planting of fir trees got out of hand,it seems they took so well they soon overran the Tequilla cactus fields causing their demise,resulting in no production ,you would be hard pressed to find a bottle of Tequilla in Mexico today;on a similar note Icky after making a killing on DVDs,invested in the entire supply of Mexican Jumping Beans,however little did he realize the little worms had eradicated through the careful use of pesticides; Rosy has a line of sports wear she designed,naturally with Julian as a model it just took off;Paula developed her own line of cosmetics and enlisting the aid of Horty she too is doing great,mainly due to the very popular info commercials she puts on. I'm sure you ladies all enjoy her "Going From Ghost to Gorgeous in 15 Minutes";finally the CoOp is also making great strides in the food field. As a matter of fact they are currently moving their operation to Orrville,Ohio after purchasing J.M.Smucker's Jams and Jellies; Greta and Jimena have teamed up and have a web site called "How to Get That Man and Hold On to Him".Their offering of spells and potions is doing very well.
As far as Sara goes,latter.

Ha ha! What Mark did in one morning would need another 100 episodes in telenovelaland.
Damn that viper Sara! I refuse to peek ahead at the outcome but I'm dying to know what happens next. Can't wait for Julie's recap tonight.

Thanks so much Sylvia, your recaps are always so witty and entertaining. I liked the "Greek chorus without teeth" description of Gina.
I was so excited to see the rooftop restaurant scene - my husband and I ate there in January! It overlooks the Zocalo (some of you probably recognized the Catedral Metropolitano and the Palacio Nacional of which we regularly get incredible shots of in Cuidado) and is right next to the hotel where we stayed, which also had a rooftop dining area. Great memories!
Wow, I went into that commercial break after Lorena said Alonso's name impactada myself. No puede ser! My relief was shortlived with the ending. These final shows are really great! I'm going to have to rely on YouTube for Thursday's show, unless they show it with the rerun of the finale on Sunday as has happend in the past. Anyone have any clue?

Hi Rhonda, according to my Tivo there will be no show Thursday night. On Friday the Wednesday episode will be repeated at the regular time (7:00 PST) and the final one-hour episode will air at 8:00 PST. The last two episodes will be repeated Sunday at 3:00 p.m. PST. The cast will be on the Cristina show Monday night at 10:00 p.m. PST
Thanks for the research on the TV listings, Sylvia!
On that note, it's possible that I won't be able to finish the recap tonight (due to preparations for tomorrow), but I'll post what I have before going to bed and get the rest up on Friday morning at the latest.
Incidentally, I had the same thought about Sara using the woman's lip gloss. But that's our Sara. She wants that Claymation mouth to really shine.

I too was a bit dismayed when the thunder and rain began. I would have bet that when she looked out the window that Lorena would see Alonso standing there looking like a pitiful needy drowned rat. It now looks like Alonso will have a chance to demonstrate his nobility by saving Ernesto's life. Thank goodness that we don't have enough time left for a coma! Carlos

Susanlynn, thanks for acknowledging that accountants can be funny. Guess what I do for a living.
Awesome recap Sylvia, you reacted the same way I did about the rainstorm/Alonso bit near the end, I thought "after all this you're going to choose him because it rained?" but so far no. We'll see. Choosing the guy in the Gran Final sticks, two episodes ahead might not stick.
I also thought Alonso was tan estupido for sitting on that cell phone number for 8 hours. Jeez what an idiot. I also REALLY enjoyed seeing Ivan kick Jorge in the nuts. A perfect send off for him, delivered by the one he betrayed.

Another great recap.
Mark: Pretty funny scenarios. Here's my two cents. After Icky's business fails, his mom Catalina and Toribio meet up again, the spark is still there. Tori marries Catalina, and since Alonso is going to marry Valeria, it turns out that Cat is Valeria's suegra again! (you know, this could really happen).

Okay...I give...been trying to figure it out on my own but
What is a "claymation" mouth. Is this another horrendous culture gap in my life?

PS Thanks for the hilarious link to Jaguar Man/Bruno as well. Boy they went heavy on the eye makeup didn't they?
OMG isn't it a scream? I almost fell off my chair laughing. The guy's got a killer bod but it was hard to appreciate it what with all the antics.
Judy B. A claymation is animated comic using clay figures instead of animation drawings. They model the clay to change expressions ,move arms and legs,and form the lips to convey speaking. They look kind of weird as the motion is rather jerky.
If you haven't seen one you haven't missed much. I guess they are OK for kids. You might be able to catch one around Christmas time,they often have them then.

Bruno lives! Thank you for the awful yet wonderful video.
All I can say about QE is that Alonso had better save Ernesto's life and then disappear with Valeria. If Lorena marries Ernesto this will definitely be the second-best telenovela ever. (Best is still Piel de Otono in my book.)

I got onto the claymation thing because Susanlynn commented that Sara's mouth looked like it was claymation due to it's weird contortions.
Claymation and Stop-Motion Animation in general is a wonderful artform that has been used in films for years. Currently my favorite example of this are the Wallace and Gromit films and shorts that come out of Aardman studios. I'm a huge fan of W and G. Wikipedia has excellent entries on both Claymation and Stop-Motion Animation. They are fascinating and worth reading.

Thanks Mark and Sylvia....I've probably seen something like this when I've been down in Charlotte with the grandkids...but my eyes were glazing over! Did find the site Mark mentioned and supposedly there was a 2 and 1/2 minute film but the little bugger never moved! Oh well...at least I'm a leetle bit better informed now.
Yes, Judyb. Mark and Sylvia both provided excellent examples of claymation. And perhaps you're familiar with Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live...I think he was a claymation character. Whenever Sara is on the screen, I always focus on that mouth. One night as I was fixing on that freakishly flexible little mouth, I tried to figure out what it reminded me of and why it fascinated me ...Then , lightbulb moment...Claymation. Now, I'm trying to figure out who Ernesto reminds me of...but I still can't figure that one out. We're traveling to our daughter's house in Toronto on Thursday and won't be able to watch the novelas, so I'm glad to hear that those episodes will be repeated. Did anyone watch Dancing with the Stars ??? My boy Warren Sapp came in second...Who said big boys can't move it, move it ??? Ferro~~~Yes, accountants can be funny . Also, I know a funny lawyer...my high school friend Charlie is a very kooky guy. He called me during a snowstorm , disguised his voice , and tried to sell me a pool....I hung up on him. What a wild and crazy guy. I also have a funny dentist.

Sorry Susanlynn...Saturday Night Live is on past my bedtime!
Yeah, I've been thinking that Ernesto reminds me of someone too...when you come up with it (I never will) let me know.
I don't have a funny dentist but I have a good-looking one. If some man is going to get right up in my mouth, I at least want him to be attractive! Poor guy was horrified when he recommended an oral surgeon and my first question was "Is he cute?". Probably made him want to take early retirement.

Sylvia thanks for all your wonderful recaps. This show started out a horror and ended up so terrific, you are right. Well I voted for Alonso so see what they get for not listening to me. Just kidding.....Sheeesh. I hope they are both just unconscious. Even if Lorena ends up with Alonso, those cute kids don't need any more horror in their lives.
See ya on Tontas. That on looks like good fun too.

Thanks for the stellar recap Sylvia ;) Ahem, geeks need love too ya know ;) Hubby's a computer programmer, and I jokingly told my cousins that once you go geek, you never go back... The only down side is that it's made me lazy about new technology. It's way to easy to just let hubby fix stuff.
Oh, the reason Snorty got a little snippy with the short nun is because she called her “Tencha” (common nickname for Hortensia), not exactly appropriate since they weren’t exactly buddies.
I have to agree with some other folks that the Clinic Val will be studying at is in town, it’s just too many hours to leave the kids.
Yup, Al’s a dope for not giving the cell # to the police.
What the frill were Ern and Lore thinking just running like that and standing in the middle of the street with a lunatic on loose? He couldn’t have run to the porch and gone in the house? The family was even kind enough to retire to another room without the panques (much to the chagrin of one of the nuns). Silly kids...

Margarita, thanks for the tip on Tencha (and everything else too). That one went right over my head. Your help with these details is really key to helping us understand this stuff. Thanks amiga!
Sylvia, you were so hot with this recap! Thanks for a delightful read on a super action-packed episode!
“I know I promised to get some Bimbo Colchones and report back but I couldn't find them on the Bimbo rack. Lots of Polverones, Bimbunuelos (Margarita's favorite) and Pan Seco but no Colchones.” We can assume, then, that product placement works and that they sold out because of the good press Colchones got on QE.
“unlocks her cuffs and squeezes out of the overturned car which is unlucky number 13 I notice.” I noticed that, too. Thirteen is one of my two lucky numbers. That irritated me to see this one placed in Sara’s escape scene.
“Shady guys says he likes a man with guts. (Agallas = guts, which is an interesting word to use because agalla can also mean greed.)” Wow, thanks for the double-meaning word. What an interesting coincidence…….and thanks for the other dicho in that part, too.
“Man, it's one thing to hit a woman on the head with a gun but to use her lipstick? That's just wrong.” ROTFL!!! Truly disgusting!
“She singsongs that she knows Ivan still likes Betina just like their uncle likes Lorena. She's a regular Greek chorus without teeth, this one.” ROTFLLLL!!!! What a great comparison! I’m going to miss Gina a whole lot.
“Al looks at Ernesto belligerantly. Or maybe he's just constipated again. Which reminds me, my friend Synthia's mom who is from Costa Rica told me that in her country "impactado" also means constipated. So let's just say that Al is "impactado" and leave it at that.” ROTFLLLLL!!! I will never, ever look at the word “impactado” the same again.
“there's some obligatory chest puffing until she tells them she loves them both (which I thought was kind of weird).” Lorena used the word “quiero” which means she cares deeply about both of them, but she didn’t use the word “amo” which would be a stronger concept when it’s a woman and a man. IOW, she hedged her bets.
“Ernesto cries on Ivan's shoulder. I proclaim it to be a negative 5 on the ugly crying scale.” Absolutely—it was the most beautiful, touching guy crying I’ve ever seen.
Loved all the comments, everyone!
