Cuidado con el Angel - Dec. 15

EPISODE 58:
* Nellie talks with JM about Viv's nerves and mental health. He asks her about Viv's recent large withdrawal from the bank account. Nellie is stunned and agrees to asks Viv.

* Chuy makes her phone call to the castle de los locos. Balbina answers. Chuy asks Balbina how Rocio, Mayita and Cuate are. Balbina gives her the report. Just as Balbina says "Marichuy" JM passes by and swipes the phone from Balbina. He is desperate to talk with Chuy, to find out how she is, where she is and where she went. Chuy is impactado and finally says that she doesn't want to talk to him. He tells her how much of a mess his life is with Viv's return and how much he misses her and loves her. Chuy is uncomfortable and doesn't want to talk with him. She tells him she only called to check up on Mayita, Rocio and Cuate and that she's just fine. She hangs up. JM talks with Balbina about the phone call and that Chuy never once asked about him.

* MC talks with Cande about her phone call to the castle and the report from Balbina, and her anguish when JM got on the phone and started to talk to her -- same promises as before.

* Pat and Steffie are in the entry hall of the mansion. Ceci walks out in her bedclothes - she says she's not in the mood to go out anywhere tonight. Steffie says if she doesn't want to go then we all won't go. Ceci tells them not to cancel the plans and to go enjoy themselves. Pat and Steffie agree to go.

* Piranha lurks in the shadows of the bushes and watches as Chuy sits on the wall of the stairs. She looks up and sees Piranha's face in the shadows staring at her. She gets scared and runs inside.

* Luisa hangs up the phone. Pa, Bea and Ed walk into the living room. Luisa tells them the great news - that Elsa left Nelson and will be returning home.

* Chuy keeps Cande awake talking about Piranha scaring her outside tonight.

* Luisa excuses herself to arrange the room for Elsa. Pa escorts her. Ed and Bea talk about it.

* Pat and Steffie talk at dinner - Steffie is depressed knowing that when Chuy does reappear, she will have to leave the house permanently. They change the subject to discuss the concert after dinner.

* JM talks with a waiter in the bar about ladies at the bar. Waiter leaves. JM can't stop thinking about Chuy - why won't she tell him where she is?

* Chuy lays awake thinking about JM and having to stay away from him.

* In the old neighborhood, Adrian walks over to Olga's apartment and wakes her up. He wants to talk with Purita. Olga says she's asleep. Adrian leaves his message with Olga for Purita - he says that she needs to return to work, they all misses her. When Adrian leaves, Olga turns around and asks Purita if she heard the message.

* Ivette finds JM at the bar.

* Viv is jealous of Blanca. Nellie enters and says that JM just left for the bar. Viv's jealous radar goes off. Nellie asks her a serious question.

* JM and Ivette are talking at the bar when Steffie and Pat pass by and say hello.

* Nellie scolds Viv about faking her mental illness; then Nellie asks her daughter about the large withdrawal she just made from the bank.

* Pat and Steffie talk with Ivette and JM and then leave.

* Olga and Purita discuss Adrian's message about her work. Purita has decided that she won't go back there or see him ever. She refuses to be criticized or gossiped about because of Olga being her mother. Olga tries to convince her otherwise. Purita won't change her mind.

* Viv tells Nellie that she went on a trip and spent it on clothes and other necessities. Viv then changes the subject by going to bed. Nellie wants to discuss it some more. Viv says good night - Nellie leaves frustrated. Viv thought bubbles about Blanca being with her husband. Viv sneaks down the hall and uses a spare key to get into Blanca's room - no one inside. Viv is suspicious and starts to look around.

* Outside in the garden at night, Ivette is sneaking back to the castle. Ivette has to hide outside the patio door because Viv is still inside the room. When Viv leaves the room, Ivette sneaks back inside.

* Viv walks down the hall thinking about her suspicions of Blanca sneaking out to be with JM. She stops JM in the hallway to tell him about her suspicions of Blanca. JM doesn't believe her. Viv tells him to ask her about it.

* Chuy lays awake scared and thinking about Omar's departure and what to do about Piranha.

* Viv and JM discuss lady friend JM is seeing at the bar. Blanca appears and interrupts.

* Chuy thinks to herself about JM's continual promises over the phone.

* Blanca asks about the conversation. JM responds. She goes back into her room. Viv presses him for the lady's name. JM refuses and leaves.

* Steffie calls Viv and tells her about meeting JM and his french lady friend in the bar tonight.

* Chuy talks with Nacho, as he milks the cow. They discuss the hacienda, her needing an escort to leave, and Piranha.

* Amador and lobo visit Steffie and Isa to discuss the next stage of Isa's plan -- to get more money to pay Piranha for his help with the plan and going back to Viv to get it.

* Steffie and Isa meet Viv in her bedroom at the castle. They plead for Viv to give them more money. Viv is impactado and wonders why? They explain that they need it to pay for associate delinquent to help them. Blanca enters the room just as Steffie tells Viv about the french lady that she saw with JM at the bar and interrupts.

* Chuy feeds the horse and herd of sheep. Amador walks into the yard and Chuy is stunned as she turns to see him.

* Adrian meets with Padre in the church rectory. He needs Padre's help to convince Purita to return to work. Padre wonders if his interest is more. Adrian says the only woman he loves is Chuy. Padre says it'll be months before she returns.

* Chuy and Amador continue to talk - why he returned to the hacienda?

* Viv talks with Blanca - Blanca leaves. Isa and Steffie explain why they need more money and hope Viv would get it for them. Viv needs to find out who this french girl is that her husband has been seen with in the bar.

* At a picnic table at the mansion, Pat and Ceci discuss JM being at a bar with another girl, that's not his wife. They know about Viv's return and Chuy's departure. Ceci wants to give him some sympathy. Pat on the other hand has a low opinion of JM's morals.

* Chuy continues to brush the horse as Amador talks to her about getting permission from Padre to come visit. She sort of admits to being in hiding at the hacienda. He asks when she will return to the city. She glares at him.

* Viv sits reading her magazine on the sofa in her bedroom. Nellie hovers over her. JM enters and talks with Nellie. He then asks Viv if she wants another doctor - Viv is indifferent. He asks about the money withdrawal. Nellie says that it was for clothing and other things. He starts to leave for the office.

* Chuy and Amador talk about her plan to stay for awhile. They discuss his interest in her baby and that he wants to have a huge party to celebrate its birth.

* Viv talks with Nellie about her suspicions of JM and another lady as she gets her make-up ready. Nellie is impactado. Viv is on a quest to find the french maiden that Steffie told her was with JM last night.

* Cande and Chuy talk together in the bedroom.

* Flashbacks of Viv and Steffie's handshake deal in Viv's bedroom; Amador; Piranha lurking in the shadows.

ADVANCE: As Isa's plan starts to unfold, Chuy starts having contractions

Thanks Eeyore ;) Can we nickname you speedy? You always do these so quickly!

Quick thing, Elsa is moving in with her folks by herself 'cause she left Nelson. Her mom is named Luisa.

I think someone asked about "te quiero" from a previous recap (I forget). Although it isn't as strong as "te amo", it can certainly still imply romantic love, as well as fraternal and filial love.

Why the frill is Stef still calling Pat dad? I would have thought she'd at least call him Patricio, or even Don Patricio instead. Alas, until Mari comes home, it looks like Ceci's not going to be getting rid of that parasite anytime soon.
 

Oh and I forgot to say, loved the "castle de los locos" nickname for chez San Roman.
 

Thanks for the recap, Eeyore. You always do a great,quick job. I appreciate your efforts and work.

I was think tonight through the show - these people drink a lot of tea or is it coffee? I wonder what it is? Does anyone know? Even when they are at a cafe, I only see two cups of something. Most of the time they don't even order food.

Thanks for doing the recap, Eeyore...I had a jam-packed day yesterday and couldn't face the "sturm und drang" of Cuidado but knew you would keep me up to date.

But Holy Toledo!...she's giving birth. Last time I saw Marichuy she was still in those tight little jeans.
 

Hey, I missed all but the first few minutes too. Thanks, Eeyore.

Que the heck with the giving birth already. Will they do nueve meses despues?
 

Eeyore: Thanks for the quick recap. To those of us who ponder "..te quiero...", I think of it as "..I want you, I need you, I love you with all my heart.." (Elvis Presley) Anyway, that's the sentiment I thought JuanMi was trying to convey to Mari.

I'm surprised that Stefi and Isa don't try to discourage Vivi from investigating Blanca since it will divert her from concentrating on Isa's plan to kidnap Mari/baby. The Stefi/Vivi connection is still a mystery to me.

Surely Blanca/Ivette knows what she's doing. Ivette knew enough to stay clear of her bedroom and turn herself into Blanca so that JuanMi and Vivi could see her.
 

Thanks for the great recap Eeyore. Did I imagine it or did Blanca overhear part of the Isa/Stefi/Viv plan regarding Marichuy? Diana in MA
 

Thanks for the recap eeyore.
Can anyone tell me what Blanca heard Stef and Viv say as she was leaving the room?
This story is getting deeper and deeper and I'm enjoying it so much more than FELS. I gave up on that one.

Thank you so much for the recap! No captions here in L.A. again! Are the rest of you getting captions? Anyway, I’m glad you are so quick Eeyore, so I could run to the computer late last night and find out all the stuff I’d not been able to understand.

Well, without captions I can focus on the actors more and I really enjoyed the performances last night. Do I gather that Yvette is speaking with a French accent in her Spanish? I was surprised when she was referred to as a French woman.

I don’t get the plot – Vif and Stef may want Mari offed, but Amador wants her alive. Anybody get what they’re planning to do?

I was really bummed when Amador showed up at the hacienda.
 

I can't figure out what our Treacherous Trio is up to either. We know they want to "disappear" the baby...does that mean they plan to kill it, or to drop it off at some distant orphanage? However, Stef and Isa also don't want Mari coming back to town, so what do they plan to do with her? I'm sure it will be grim, whatever they have in mind.

Maybe Stef thinks if she keeps calling Pat "daddy" he'll forget that she isn't really his. It's creepy, though, for a youngish lady to call an old guy who is NOT her father "daddy."

So we're getting a time jump and Marichuy only has to look pregnant for one episode? Convenient how telenovelas can just gloss over things like months of hugeness.

Genevieve, I assume they frequently do tea or coffee because it gives the characters some reason to be sitting there together, but is less fuss for the props people than real food. And it's something real people often do, so it's believable.
 

Blanca overherad Steffi describing the french maiden that Juanmi was talking to at the bar...

She clearly looked busted when she saw Steff there, and hung around to listen to what they were talking aobut, (metiche!) so she knows about Ivette, but it seems to be a compulsion that she can't control.

randy, sea.
 

for someone as arrogant as Patricio who thinks so little of Chuy his real daughther and now even JuanMi he sure loves Steff even though she deceived him into believing she was his real daughter and had no intentions of ever coming clean yet he loves her and still lives comfortably in her house (even if it's supposedly until Chuy comes wth is up with that arrangement?!), i hate that.

and again i feel so bad for JM. I'm not really liking what Chuy did with calling his house and then being all surprised that he would obviously pick up and then acting all i can't talk to you even though he professed his love and concern for her. she was just trying to play him lol.

am i the only one or does this novela need to get moving because it is totally dragging on!
 

JM Lover, I'm with you. I have been rather bored and I hope this picks up a bit.
 

There is no way this show is going to jump to Mari giving birth. She will be pregnant for a while I'm sure. That preview was probably just a tease, different music playing too.
 

does anyone know how to pronounce the word "Hay" as in "there is?" Is it pronounced "hi?" THANKS!
 

Violet: It's "aye as in aye, aye, mate." The h is not pronounced.
 

What little I can tell from the dastardly trio (though I guess it's a quartet since Viv's now in the mix)is that they plan to steal the baby (I hope they plan to drop it off at an orphanage, otherwise they'd probably be trying to get her to miscarry instead of waiting all that time just to kill it). I don't think they care if she comes back to Mexico as long as she doesn't come back to JM or to the Velarde's lives Given that she's so resentful on both accounts, there's probably little risk of either happening. Amador probably thinks he can be there to console her after baby disappears (maybe even pretend to help her look) so that she won't go back to the barrio, but somewhere near him where he can control what she hears and who sees her. Then he can go back to his Ike Turner plan of making her a star and his meal ticket/conquest.
 

Thank you, Pasofino. I have to do an oral skit for my final Spanish exam and wanted to make sure how to say "hay."
 

JM lover - I haven’t really noticed whether the story was going fast or slow, I’ve been so focused on the speech, which is definitely too fast!
 

The actress playing Blanca/Ivette played a Frenchwoman in Amor Real. She was a villain in that novela. She tried to defraud the galan of his inheritance. When she spoke in French they put up Spanish captions.
 

Maggie,

I watch out of Boston and we have captions.
 

I live in Los Angels and there have been no problems with the CC. If you have DirecTv you may want to try and reset the receiver,
 

I haven't had a problem with captions. The only issue I've had is when we lose the sound so we can hear that nasty shrill storm warning announcement over the show. Like we didn't know there was a storm.

I agree, this show has slowed down a bit the last few days. Mostly because I'm not too interested in Viv or B/I. More Omar, please! Also I want Vicente and Rocio to recover and have some story progress.
 

JM Lover, Pat foolishly believed Isa’s lie that Estafa was an innocent victim of Isa’s lies. That and Estafa is closer to what he envisioned in a daughter (the well-read, etc, part, not the lying and scheming part) has made him want to help her (though I still think that, out of respect for his wife's love of their real child, he should tell her to stop calling him dad).

I think someone asked if Ivette spoke with a French accent. She has indeed spoken with one (not a bad one at that, and her actual French didn't strike me as bad either, but I'm no expert). She also calls JM Jean Michel.
 

thank you margarita and anonymous for the corrections - i went and made the changes in the recap.

it doesn't bother me if there are captions or not, i'm normally watching these telenovelas without them. for me, it helps me in my understanding of the language to try and figure out the vocabulary on my own. of course, when I'm writing, I usually don't have time to look and read along anyway.

Jody :)
