Cuidado con el Angel - Monday, Dec. 29 - Pinocchio, pregnancies and panic attacks
EPISODE 66:
* Micaela helps Chuy drink her medicinal tea as Dr. Omar talks with her to calm her down and take care of her. Micaela and Cande listen.
* Viv gets in Blanca's face and suspects that Blanca is Ivette.
* As Chuy sleeps, Dr. Omar talks with Cande and Micaela about his diagnosis and how petrified he is to treat her - after his last scare during a young girl's pregnancy.
* Viv shocks Blanca by continuing her speech about her suspicions.
* In Fantasyland, Abuela tells Mayita the story of Pinocchio.
* Blanca runs out of the room, scared to death. Viv is baffled by the reaction.
* Dr. Omar explains to Cande how nervous he was during the past pregnancy/birth and how he blames himself for the baby dying.
* In Fantasyland, Abuela finishes telling Mayita the story of Pinocchio. Cuate barks. Mayita says that he's happy. Abuela and Mayita hug and kiss.
* Dr. Leo continues to explain the other pregnancy and how after that nightmare, he lost his confidence to practice medicine and returned to the hacienda to a life as a recluse. Cande cries. Omar says he can't help Chuy give birth at the house - he can't go through another nightmare birth again.
* Blanca and Mayita are outside on the patio, talking about what Mayita will be drawing - a clown with Mayita's own personal touch. Mayita starts to draw. Viv watches from the door opening - glaring daggers at Blanca who feels a cold snap down her spine.
* JM meets with Padre at the church rectory - they discuss JM's doomed marriage to Viv.
* Viv talks to Mayita on the patio about her drawing. Viv and Blanca then go inside to talk in private.
* In the pool area, Viv confronts Blanca about her ventures out of the castle late at night to visit a man, perhaps JM.
* JM continues to talk with Padre about Viv; about trying to separate from her but he can't now; Viv is pregnant.
* Viv makes Blanca cry and stutter with her barrage of questions and suspicions over where Blanca goes when she leaves the castle at night.
* JM tells Padre about his feelings for his children. Padre listens and asks about his feelings if he had children with Maria de Jesus (Chuy). He answers sincerely. Padre stares at him. JM wonders if Chuy is pregnant? Padre goes to the altar table and looks up at the Jesus statue on the wall and says "NO!" JM asks about what Chuy told Mayita before she left. Padre repeats that Chuy isn't pregnant.
* In the stables, Omar grumbles to Micaela about his ever growing doubts and fears in his ability as a doctor. They discuss Chuy's situation and Micaela encourages him to help her and her baby.
* Casilda and hair-roller gal pal are out in front of the church collecting signatures on their petition.
* In the pool area, Viv continues to annoy and pester Blanca about her evening departures. Blanca cries and panics - she thought bubbles about killing Viv. Blanca stands and threatens Viv - Viv isn't scared. Nellie enters and breaks it up.
* In the stables with Micaela, Omar still has an extreme panic attack about being a doctor. Cande enters and begs him to go help Chuy and her baby. Omar leaves.
* In the bedroom, Omar sits beside the bed and apologizes to Chuy for not doing more earlier to help her or doing enough now. Chuy wonders about her baby and giving birth. Omar stutters some assurance and tries to sugar coat it. Chuy wants to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
* Padre talks with Olga at the apartment complex about Casilda and Purita's fight at the church. Olga is impactado. Purita appears - Padre forces her to tell her mom about the fight. Purita says she was defending her mom.
* Chuy is scared that her baby will die and she won't be able to hold it in her arms. Omar is nervous and scared. Chuy wants to him to save her baby. Omar continues his panic attack as he holds her hand.
* Olga begs Purita to tell her all the details - Purita refuses and runs away. Padre only explains his role at the end of the fight. Olga's friend runs up and tells her and Padre about Casilda and pals petition drive in front of the church.
* Chuy rests as Omar panics - he is going crazy wondering what to do.
* Blanca talks with Mayita about soon she will have a baby brother or sister - her mom's pregnant. Mayita has mixed feelings - one hand she's happy for a little sibling but she's not sure if it's another lie, like Chuy's.
* Chuy tells Omar that she trusts him to help her baby be born and survive and live. She goes to sleep. He looks at the baby clothes by the bed and holds her hand in his hands.
* Steffie sits and torments Ceci in the living room of the mansion about Ceci's failed attempts to locate Chuy and have her at her side. Ceci's heart breaks the more Steffie talks about Chuy and JM. Steffie then breaks the news to Ceci that JM won't ever get a divorce and reunite with Chuy -- because Viv is pregnant. Ceci is impactado.
* Still in the pool area, Viv explains to Nellie about her confrontation with Blanca.
* Mayita runs and hugs daddy (JM) outside in the front patio. She asks about mommy's pregnancy. Daddy tells her it's true. She wonders if it's a lie like Chuy's was.
* Casilda and friends are gathered outside the church having a protest rally. Padre comes over and has to listen to the criticisms.
* JM explains to Mayita the difference between Chuy's and Viv's announcements. Mayita is happy to have a new baby brother or sister. They discuss the new baby, and that he doesn't want either of his children to suffer.
* Ceci is stunned - Steffie repeats that as long as Viv is pregnant, there will be no divorce in JM's future. Ceci feels sorry for JM and Chuy.
* Viv and Ed walk over to JM and Mayita. Viv mentions the news about the new baby. Mayita is excited and skips away. Ed congratulations them on the news; then he asks Viv to agree to see him for a prenatal appointment. Viv reluctantly agrees.
* At the apartment, Nelson is still depressed. Elsa tries to cheer him up and get him to eat. He only wishes that she stay with him. She says that she can't promise him that.
* Cande calls Padre on the phone and cries to him about how gravely ill Chuy is right now, and about how it's affecting the baby. Cande also tells him about Omar. Padre then shocks her with the news about Viv being pregnant.
* JM finds Viv laying on her sofa in her bedroom - she's nauseous and has no energy to get up.
* Adrian and Purita walk, talk and enjoy their ice cream bars. Adrian kisses her and leaves. Sex-crazed dude pops out from around the corner and pins Purita to the wall.
* Viv says she feels nauseous and is having a dizzy spell. JM says that may be the pregnancy and all the more reason to see Ed right now. As JM calls Ed, Viv gets up and faints. Nellie and JM kneel to care for her.
* Padre and Cande continue their phone conversation. They discuss Viv's pregnancy and then Omar's attempt to bring a doctor to Chuy and problems with the pregnancy.
* Purita fights with the dude as Casilda and gal pals in hair rollers walk by and stop to gossip and criticize Purita for being just like her mother and bringing the Public Display of Affection to the sidewalk - and in the daylight no less. Purita breaks free from the dude and runs off.
* As Purita runs into the apartment complex shouting and searching for her mother, the dude, Casilda and others chase after her - calling her names. On the stairs, Purita and Olga appear - the crowd throws rocks at them. When one rock, thrown by the dude, hits Olga and knocks her unconscious, they stop in stunned silence as Purita kneels down and cries for her mommy.
* Nellie cares for Viv on the sofa and Viv convinces JM that she doesn't need to see Ed right now - maybe much later.
* Cande and Micaela talk in the bedroom while Chuy sleeps. Cande tells Micaela about her phone call with Padre - that Viv is pregnant. At that same moment, Chuy grunts in pain.
ADVANCE: They can't wait any longer, Dr. Omar has to break out his medical kit and help Chuy give birth!

Thanks for the recap, and welcome back Emilee. Now I know - 185 episodes, and it's going to be a long haul.
There are two roads I wish this novela wouldn't follow. One is the Purita/Olga vs. Casilda and friend sideshow. Annoying to say the least and filler at best. If anyone has a better reason, let meknow.
Then there is Nelson and Elsa. What's the point here. She didn't love Ed and married Nelson who turned out to be far worse that she cold have imagined. OK - true love.
Juan Miguel is on to Vivi. He knows that somehow she is faking it - maybe she sent someone else to take the pregnancy test for her. And the fainting is such a bunch of crap, too. JuanMi should have called an ambulance and had her taken to the hospital where she would have been outed. But, then we wouldn't have her around to annoy us.
Why on earth did Padre tell Candi that Vivi was pregnant? And, then tell her not to tell. Telling Candi something is like taking an ad out in the newspaper because before long, the whole world will know. This kind of news will further devastate Mari and push her into someone else's arms, like Dr. Omar, maybe.
See, ya.

Thanks for the recap. I watched this episode this morning. It was so slow moving I was able to get the entire story while reading the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal from cover to cover (with no rewinds). Please speed this up! There was so much rehash.
I agree on the Olga/Casilda plot--insane.
I agree on the Olga/Casilda plot--insane.
I am very confused over the protest in front of the church. Maybe if I understood Spanish, I would get it (!!), but I thought Padre was smiling and was happy with the people in front of his church. Wow, am I way off base! What is going on here??? What were they protesting? Also, I thought the hair roller lady was Casilda. Also, if JM is on to Viv, why on earth would he tell Padre and Mayitta that Viv is pregnant? Very confusing episode for me.
What a tedious episode. Can we just get the kid born already and move on? And JM just needs to get Ed to come to the house, draw blood, and get a pregnancy test himself, and that game would be over so fast. I can't believe he would actually tell Mayita she's going to have a new sibling.
Casilda is beyond revolting. ACTUAL STONING?!?!!?? Apparently she has never ever read the Bible; her holier-than-thou attitude is based entirely on her own doctrine. Ugh. Was the petition to get Padre Anselmo removed from the church because he's supportive of Olga? I wasn't paying close attention during those scenes.

Roller lady/Casilda was not in front of the church. I thought that she had fomented a rebellion, but this was a group gathered in support of the Padre and against Casilda.
Thank you so much for the recap, eeyore!
Pasofino – I’m sooo glad you’ll help on Thursday. Could you e-mail me (link in my profile), por favor?
I sure do wish they would give some sort of diagnosis for Mari. Surely they could call up an ob-gyn and find an applicable one, so we would have some concept of what’s going on with her. First it’s hours-long contractions and now she just lies there and looks like she’s fading away. Why?
It was pretty amazing that that would-be rapist guy could attack Purita right on a busy street and nobody did anything. And I agree – stoning?? Where do you find stones on an urban street, anyway?

I guess I did get it then about the protest in front of the church. I could've sworn I saw a sign that said "I love Padre Anselmo." That's why he was happy, it was a happy protest!
The stoning was horrendous. It made me sick to my stomach. One "stoner" was actually smirking as Purdita was crying over her mother.

Thanks for the re-cap!
There was a smalll group scene early on including the evil roller-hair Casilda, and sex crazed dude, and other "bad" neighbors where she is gathering petitions to have Purita and Mom thrown out of the Vecindad, also to have Padre Anselmo transferred out of the parish. The "good" neighbor lady was looking on from afar...then later the bigger protest scene was a gathering of supporters in favor of PA etc. The signs read things like "we love padre anselmo"
I agree that this storyline is particularly ugly...a stoning??!!Ugh. There are always a lot of sort of religious biblical refrerences in these stories...so I guess it makes some sense in that way, but jeez louise.
I commented yesterday on the realistic interiors vs. the obvious sound stage sets. Well, yesterday they were back inside the "real" castle...the pool room scene where they haven't been before. I'm so intrigued by this building, and how the design is a clustering of hexagons. If it's really a private home, that's one amazingly huge house and the grounds are like a freaking national park. Anyone have any info?
I was confused by Leo/Omar last night. I thought he had reassured everone the night before that he was going to take care of everything and not to worry. I guess that was just for Mari's benefit. Once she went to sleep he's back in panic doubt mode. This is dragging along.

I waited for the recap because I can't watch another night of Mari in labor. The way Viv attacks Blanca, she is so mean. But, both are good actresses and you can almost see the other personality trying to come out to protect Blanca.

Randy, I too have been noticing the sometimes odd set choices. I guess they don't always have access to all their sets. Usually the castle looks great, but for a few days they were using a "room" with obviously fake stone walls. Also, Padre Anselmo used to have a real, normal office in the church, but lately he's been having even the most personal, private conversations with people in the hallway on a patio bench.
The "we-can't-get-to-the-hospital-because-of-the-storm" plot is so contrived. Why were they on little dirt tracks in the woods? When PA and Amador drove to the hacienda they were just on normal roads. I know they have to get Omar to deliver the baby, but it would have been much better if it had been just because the baby came way too fast...then we wouldn't have to suffer through days of Marichuy in vaguely complicated labor.

Thanks for the recap Jody ;)
Violet, the stupid women on Casilda’s team though Purita was messing around with the guy, rather than fighting him off. Perhaps if she’d screamed at him while they were present they might have gotten the message, but they might also have thought she was pretending she didn’t like it to give the appearance of decorum. They are just horrible! I hope nothing serious happens to Olga over the injury, and that Casilda and her team of haters learn that there are consequences to their actions. I thought it was sweet that the people outside the church were telling PA that they would sign their own petitions to counteract Casilda's and would go all the way to the bishop if necessary (not super hard since Mexico's big enough that their local bishop lives in the city itself, but it was still sweet).
Leo mentioned the baby might be "turned," which is a problem as he might have to manually go in and turn it before it can be delivered. Between the trauma of the previous delivery (both mom and baby died) and the fact that he hasn't practiced medicine in years, he's more than a little rusty. Micaela hit it on the head though "will it take more courage to save her than to watch her die?" Mari also told him that if she died it would be because it was her time, not because he killed her, so to get with the program and try anyway. Maybe this will be the thing to get him out of his retirement. Incidentally, we also find out that the reason he had problems with the previous birth is because Ivette held him back for a long time (he probably got the call and stayed for more nookie rather than run straight to the patient) and that by the time he got there mom was too exhausted and there was nothing he could do for the mom or the baby. Now he regrets not having taken Mari to the hospital before it started raining (as if he could have know she was going to start having contractions!).
I wonder about Viv's lethargy. Methinks Ivette (in Blanca's body off course) spiked her tea. I loved JM's response to Viv not wanting to go see Ed: "fine, he can come see you."

I missed the part where PA told JM that MC is not pregnant. I saw JM ask and the camera zoomed in on PA's face with dramatic music as he was figuring out what to say. I did not think that he, a man of the cloth, would tell an outright lie. I thought he would hem and haw and try to avoid answering, but what gives with telling a lie Padre? Why wasn't he deft enough to lie when Amador asked when PA would go visit MC again?
158 episodes! Does anyone know on what episode we are now?
Regarding roller lady and the stoning, if anyone should be stoned it should be her for coming out in public in those pink hair rollers. Where does one find those in this day anyway. Must have been wearing them since the 70s.
Be prepared for a l-0-n-g- stretch before it is ever revealed that Viv is not pregnant, if that is the case. This is a major storyline for this show and I don't think they will spare us the misery by a quick reveal, just as they apparently will not spare us MC's never-ending labor.
I have to say that I feel sorry for Leo. He seems to really be falling for her, but we all just know that he is not going to get the girl and the baby in the end. He'll probably need JM's professional help after such another huge loss.
Thanks for the recap.
158 episodes! Does anyone know on what episode we are now?
Regarding roller lady and the stoning, if anyone should be stoned it should be her for coming out in public in those pink hair rollers. Where does one find those in this day anyway. Must have been wearing them since the 70s.

I was meeting with a client, and I just saw your late post, Marti.
Yes, Padre Anselmo told a real lie, and the very end. I was shocked too.
Welcome to this thread--I think you just started posting.
Is it 185 episodes or 158?
