Cuidado con el Angel - Monday, Jan. 5 - new year, new nightmares for Chuy and JM
CUIDADO - EPISODE 72 - Jan. 5, 2009:
* Chuy and son are in the bedroom. She talks to her son about her love for him and hopes to make sure he doesn't suffer like she's had to do. She plays with him on the bed.
* JM meets with the police in the front entryway. They inform him about Nellie making a report with the police and that he's being accused in the murder of his wife, Viviana.
* Steffie is in the sitting room with Nellie - they discuss JM talking with the police downstairs. Nellie is distraught and crying.
* As JM talks with police, Steffie trots downstairs and interrupts. She leads the police detectives upstairs - Nellie is upstairs waiting. JM agrees to wait in the entryway for the detectives to return.
* Mayita is in fantasyland talking with Abuela and the trip she will be taking with Rocio and Ed. She'll miss visiting Abuela. Abuela assures Mayita that she will be right there waiting for her to return. Mayita is happy and excited again. Cuate barks.
* Police detectives enter the bedroom. Nellie talks with them as they pull back the cover and examine Viv's dead body on the bed. Nellie cries and grumbles about what happened and that JM killed her.
* Mayita runs into the living room and right up to her dad. They talk about her trip with Rocio and Ed. Mayita is excited and then mentions her mother. JM and Ed exchange worried glances.
* On the balcony at the hacienda, Chuy is holding her son and talking with Cande - about JM, the love of her life; her son; and her confusion about what to do next.
* Police detectives are gathering evidence around the room. Jimenez puts the letter opener in a plastic evidence bag. The lead detective asks Nellie to identify the opener, as well as about Blanca the governess. Steffie listens as Nellie babbles on about Blanca and then screeches her accusation about JM, and she wants to make it official.
* JM and Mayita hug and say good-bye. Ed takes her and Cuate from the room. Rocio and JM talk - Rocio tells her brother he's going crazy. Rocio leaves.
* Purita whistles as she cleans the little apartment. She stops to daydream about Adrian saying he loves her and their kiss. Clemencia enters. Purita offers her something to drink or eat. Clemencia isn't there socially - she wants to discuss Adrian's and Purita's relationship.
* Adrian and Olga sit on the stairs outside - they discuss his mom's problems with Olga's past. He wonders who to convince his mom to accept Purita because he wants to marry her.
* Steffie gives JM the news about Nellie's official accusation to the police. Steffie then presses JM to discuss what happened with Viv and Blanca. JM doesn't want to talk and tries to end the subject. Steffie continues to press and tells him that she knows he's innocent.
* Clemencia tells Purita that she won't support her dating, or even marrying, Adrian. Purita is impactado.
* Adrian assures Olga on the stairs of his true love for Purita. They hug.
* Steffie continues to talk with JM in the living room about why Steffie believes in his innocence. JM says thanks for your support but that's not enough. Steffie points out some of the strange occurrences surrounding what happened to Viv.
* NIGHTMARE - At night, Chuy runs along a darkened pedestrian bridge to where several men are fighting with JM.
* In the hallway, Rocio is talking on her cell phone to Vicente. She tells him about Viv's death. She hangs up as Blanca approaches. Blanca is a nervous, psycho wreck and needs to talk with JM.
* JM and Steffie continue their discussion. Steffie continues to badger JM with her suspicions. JM doesn't want to discuss it.
* NIGHTMARE - Gangmembers drop JM over the side as Chuy approaches the scene on the bridge. JM clings to Chuy's hands for dear life. She screams to hang on! He tries but can't. His grip slips and he falls down to the ground below.
With the splat, Chuy wakes herself up with a frightening scream - she's on the balcony and her son starts to scream and cry as well. Cande runs out to see what's the matter. Chuy explains her nightmare - a new one - and Cande has to assure her and calm her down.
* Amador and Isa are antsy about what's happening with Chuy, if she gave birth yet? also what's going on at the castle of the crazies. They need information so they can kick their kidnapping scheme into high gear - Isa agrees to call Steffie for an update; Amador will go check in at the hacienda.
* In the hallway at the castle, Rocio has to work to get Blanca to the office. Blanca is nervous about Viv's death and needs to see JM. Rocio calms her down and walks her to the room.
* Balbina is in the study with Steffie. Balbina is babbling and crying to Steffie about what she knows about Blanca and Viviana that night before the murder happened. Steffie is all 'mickey mouse' ears as Balbina says that JM wasn't even there at the castle and that Rocio was with her in the library, and that Balbina and Rocio heard loud screams from a female that night.
* JM calls Pat on his cell phone. JM asks Pat for help in finding the best lawyer in mexico; he's been accused of murdering his wife. Pat is impactado.
* Steffie is intrigued by Balbina's story, and assures her that she will do all she can to help.
* JM continues with his phone call with Pat.
* In the study, Nellie enters and Steffie stuns her with the news that JM didn't do it.
* Over the phone, JM tells Pat that he needs help with finding an excellent lawyer ASAP.
* Clemencia breaks Purita's heart and tries to convince Purita to break up with Adrian.
* Pat goes to see Ceci. Ceci thinks Pat's phone call from JM was about Chuy. Pat says no, JM called because he's been accused of murdering his wife.
* Steffie tries to convince Nellie that Ivette is the one who killed Viv, not JM.
* Ceci is impactado and asks for more details. Pat tells her what JM just told him over the phone. Ceci wonders about Viv and her pregnancy. Pat realizes that JM's going to need the best lawyer in Mexico because if he's convicted, he will be facing a lengthy jail sentence.
* Steffie argues with Nellie about JM's innocence; his marriage to Viv and the murder. Nellie won't budge - she still says that JM is guilty of the murder.
* JM and Rocio discuss Blanca's nervousness and worries.
* JM goes to the office and talks with Blanca. He tells her not to worry, he will handle it.
* Olga enters the apartment while Clemencia is still badgering Purita. Olga and Clemencia argue about Adrian and Purita. Clemencia leaves.
* Blanca cries to JM that she did it, she killed Viv. JM sits Blanca down and tries to convince her to go along with the story that she wasn't anywhere near the castle and didn't do it. Blanca asks then who is guilty?
* Cande talks as she chases the chickens in the coop. (Here, chicken, chicken, chicken!) Soon, Amador the wolf king appears to say hello, long time to see. Cande just glares back at him.
* At her mansion, Padre assures Ceci that Chuy is perfectly fine where she is. Ceci tells Padre the horrible news, JM could go to jail for killing his wife, Viviana.
* Amador stands at the fence and pumps Cande for information about Chuy and the baby. Cande inadvertently tells Amador about Chuy giving birth to a son. Amador turns to go and El Leopoldo appears at his side.
* In the office, JM tries to calm Blanca and convince her to go along with the story; Blanca is even more nervous and worried; JM says this is an order. He goes over the story and plan with Blanca.
* Amador leaves. Cande tells Omar who he is. Omar glares in the director Amador was walking.
* Blanca cries about her guilt and motives for killing Viv. JM is intrigued and listens as Blanca says she is also in love with him.
* In the kitchen, Cande plops down the chicken on the kitchen table. Cande explains to Chuy how she caught it.
* Nellie stares at Viv's phone on the side table. Everyone comes in for the visitation. Pat and Ceci enter and give Nellie their condolences. Nellie grumbles about her pain and accusations and that she will never forgive those responsible.
* Steffie and Pat meet in private at the visitation. They discuss JM and the crime. Steffie tells Papa Pat that he has to help JM because JM is innocent!
* Amador meets with Pirana and pal in the woods. He growls his disappointment over his orders not being carried out.
* JM listens as Blanca continues to babble her story about what happened with Viv and how guilty she feels over Viv's death. JM assures her.
* Chuy looks at her son in his crib. Omar enters the bedroom and talks with Chuy. Chuy mentions her relief that Amador hasn't come back around the house, like he promised. Omar wonders if he's the father?
ADVANCE: major turning point for JM, and in Amador and Isa's scheme to kidnap Chuy's son.

Jody – did you change to coconuts? Anyway, boy are you fast!!! Thank you so much.
I’m surprised that Rocio wasn’t scared of Blanca – I would be.
I just don’t see where JM is going with all this. If the police knew Blanca did it, they’d take into consideration her mental health problems and she probably would be sent where she could get some real help. Oh yeah, that’s where JM works, isn’t it?
It’s amazing in this show that all the baddies are much brainier than the good guys. You gotta hand it to Stef, figuring the whole thing out right away.

Coconuts? Thanks for the recap.
In this chapter we see another part of Juanmi's one-dimensional character. He's now a fall guy who is crazier than his clients. Or, is that client?
As pointed out, Estefi has the whole thing figured out from square one. Predictably Onelia blames Juanmi no matter what anyone is saying because that's what she wants to hear.
Now that Vivi is gone, who will continue to fund the babynapping. Or, that may not matter to Isa who seems determined to carry out her vendetta against Mari.
If you have no script, go to a dream, e.g., Mayita goes to dreamland to visit good abue; Mari dreams of Juanmi; Juanmi dreams of Mari, and who cares about the rest of them. The villains in this novela don't seem to dream. That may or may not have some significance. I know better than to look for logic in a telenovela.

Thanks for the recap. I could not bring myself to sit through the unfolding of the false confession plotline. Grrr.
yes, i did change my nick to coconuts.
Steffie may be the next to go - after all wasn't it Viv who figured Blanca/Ivette out first and look what happened to her now.
Jody :)

When Rocio and JM were talking (after Ed and Mayita left the room), I thought she said that he (JM) had gone crazy? (She should have thrown in "stupid" too.)
While Steffi was playing Nancy Drew I could not get past those silly ribbons in her hair--why is she still wearing them? Everyone knows she's not the Velardes' daughter, so why try to pretend she's 20?

Thanks for the great recap coconuts. Steffi could be the next target but although I don't think she's the brightest villan, she is the cagiest and probably won't do anything to put herself in jeopardy.
I'm with you Debbie - Steffi's hair ribbons are ridiculous. I guess it will take Mari's homecoming for her to strop calling Pat "papa".
In Fuego, Sophia's daughter was only on the screen a few moments prior to her being abducted and that was horrible enough. The thought that Pirana may abduct Mari's son who is absolutely adorable is chilling. Diana in MA

Debbie, Rocio did tell JM that he had gone crazy. She's a way better shrink than he is; I don't know why she lets him be in charge.
So did Rocio go to Acapulco with Ed and Mayita? At one point I thought they said she was going, then when they were actually leaving I thought she stayed and one of the maids went to take care of Mayita. As they were heading out, Mayita said she was going to go say goodbye to her mama and they all exchanged Looks and rushed her out the door, so the poor girl still doesn't know her mom is dead. I wonder when they'll bother to tell her.
Never would have figured Stef for the detective.
Thanks for the recap, Jody.

Thanks for the recap, Jody.
JM actually wants to be thought guilty of murdering his (supposedly) pregnant wife? And no matter what the outcome, he IS guilty of being an Accessory After the Fact and for trying to get Rocio to commit the same crime. And all for a nutty woman who he barely knows and whom he could help more by helping frame an insanity defense.
What a loser!

The scenes of Cande chasing chickens and her subsequent report to Marichuy about the endeavor (as she presented a plucked chicken on a platter and held up one of its feet) were very, very funny!

Well here I am an actual American Psychologist and following this show to improve my Spanish.
Dr. Juan has just about broken every possible ethics rule that exists for psychologists or psychiatrists, to include not dating or marrying your patients, not discussing their problems without permission, not reporting potential homicidal people, allowing a psychotic person who has killed to run freely, hypnotizing wife without her knowing it, etc., etc., and not seeking out treatment when he is having his own probable psychotic episode which is what it would be to take the blame for a person who just killed someone (to protect them!). Other than that he's a fine guy.
Thanks for all the good work you guys do.

Thanks for your "insiders" post Top Tinker, confirming what many of us have suspected about JM's professional ehics, or lack thereof. What are the writers thinking?

I love Top Tinker's comment.
Since Stefi is so nosy (to her credit this time as she's putting the pieces together the way that maybe some of these other characters ought to) maybe the police could use her on their side. She could make her floating around to people's houses a lot more productive.
If JM doesn't get his stuff together where do I signup for Team Leo?
