Cuidado Thursday, January 22, 2009: Mari weeps what she sows
Rehash: Back in the old apartment, Mari is weeping and tells Cande that JM doesn’t love her any more, he has somebody else. She says Stef told her and Rocio verified it. Meantime, Stef tells her tia that Mari is back. Cande tells Mari see? We should head right back to the hacienda and Leo. She wants to call a taxi, but Mari wants to think it over first. Judge Velarde is talking to JM outside the hearing or whatever it is, and almost mentions that Ceci went to look for Mari, but he stops short.
Hot off the griddle: Here come the legal types out of the other room. Blanca is led out in the background, but she’s still on the other side of some bars. JM asks her if she’s okay and she says yes. Chin up he says. Onelia and her lawyers say just look at them, not even trying to hide that there’s something between them. Onelia says the judge will nail both of them. JM sees her and she gives him the stink eye.
Cande says so what do we do now? Mari says I don’t know, I was wrong to think JM was waiting for me. But I have to take responsibility for my own mistakes and I have to give up Omar’s affection and protection because he’s too much of a man to accept being Plan B.
Cande says so we’re staying, but I don’t know why. Do you have big hopes about JM? Mari says no.
Ceci thinks maybe if she calls JM… no, if Mari doesn’t want to see him, that’ll put her off Ceci even more. Then it dawns on her – Cande’s house. Yes! Although it’s nighttime, she grabs her purse, offers up a quick prayer and heads out. (It’s interesting that Ceci seems to be the only woman in this show who carries a purse. Mari’s always heading out without one and her standard outfit is too skimpy to even accommodate a Chapstick.)
JM is sitting alone in his bedroom wondering where Mari is and missing her. He soliloquizes that yeah, he knows it’s selfish, but he doesn’t want her to marry anyone else because he feels like she belongs to him forever and ever. If only he knew where she is! If he could find her he would glue himself to her and never let go. He flashes back to them in bed on their wedding night.
Mari is sitting on her bed telling MiniJM that his daddy is a wonderful human being. She flashes back on the exact same scene.
Cande tells Mari that they can’t live secretly like criminals and besides they’ll need some money to live on. Cande says she’ll take in laundry again, but she looks sad about it. Mari says no, I’ll be the breadwinner and you look after the baby.
Cande hints maybe this is a good time to find out who your parents are. Mari scoffs and says she wouldn’t accept anything from them. The richer they are, the less she would want to anyway.
Ceci is at their door, knocking. Mari whispers don’t answer, but Cande says maybe it’s Olga and she goes to peek out the bathroom window. Ceci is wearing out her knuckles knocking over and over. Cande makes Mari guess who, then finally tells her. Mari tells her not to answer the door.
At the hacienda, Leo’s ready to head out and Mica says why at night? He can’t wait and says he’ll be heading for Mexico City and he’ll stay in a hotel. Mica implores him to call time to time and he promises and hugs her. He asks Mica what Lirio’s last name is.
A neighbor lady, who is actually kind and doesn’t tell Ceci off for knocking for like 10 minutes straight in the middle of the night, tells Ceci Cande and Mari left a long time ago and haven’t come back. Ceci does what she’s been doing since this novela started, which is to say she cries.
Comedy bit: Now there’s no knocking, Cande goes to look again, upsetting a bucket and slamming the bathroom door which sticks, so she pounds on it to get out. Anyway, Ceci apparently has taken her sobs elsewhere. Mari says she had a quick hope that it was JM because Rocio would have told him by now that she was there.
Cande is dying of curiosity about why Ceci came, but Mari says I don’t care about her.
The judge is telling Stef how worried he is about Ceci – where did she go in the middle of the night? Here she comes and tells him she was looking for their daughter. Behind them, Stef’s eyes widen. Ceci says she looked at Cande’s old place. Stef is trying not to register her surprise, but Ceci says no luck finding them. The judge reproaches her for keeping up with this, she weeps, nuestra hija, amor de una madre, etc. etc. The actress sure hasn’t had many lines to memorize for this novela.
She doesn’t want any dinner, she’ll just go take a sleeping pill.
Mica tells Leo she never knew Mari’s last name. Leo says we know so little about her. Mica mentions her brother, and Leo who yeah, is stout of heart and apparently bright enough to get through medical school, only just now thinks of Padre A as a lead. He asks her to write down his address and she hesitates, but does it. He kisses her on the forehead and leaves.
Adrian! We haven’t seen him in a while. He comes into Olga’s kitchen and asks Purita why she won’t see him anymore. If you’re mad about something, tell me. She says she can’t see him anymore, she doesn’t want anything to do with the neighborhood or the people in it. He says don’t you love me anymore, ‘cause I still love you con todo mi alma. Purita says we just can’t be together. He says but we made plans. She says my future is already mapped out and it doesn’t include love.
Adrian says but why? She weeps she doesn’t know, she just has to disappear and he’s not in her plans. We hear heavenly voices singing – is she about to enter a convent? Adrian, now tearful, says if that’s what you want, I won’t bother you any further. He leaves and she breaks down.
Cande and Mari are having breakfast and Cande remarks that the eggs aren’t as yummy as at the hacienda. She wants to know what’s wrong with taking in wash? And Mari says it’s too strenuous, that the light work Cande did at the hacienda was okay, but her laundry job would be dangerous for her heart.
Mari says she has stuff to do and hands Cande the baby. Cande wants to know where she’s going particularly since she’s taking her bike, but Mari says she’ll tell when she gets back. She bikes down the street, greets and knuck-bumps the newsstand guy, then sees the headlines about JM and Blanca.
Mayita comes down in her jammies and greets Onelia who says she’s going out but she can’t tell her where because she’s been forbidden to tell her certain things. Like about her mama for instance. Mayita says is she coming back again? Onelia tears up and says not this time. Mayita wipes Onelia’s tear away and says last time you said she’d gone to heaven and she came back and you’ll see, she will again. Mayita says people go away and then they show up again, like Marichuy just did. Onelia looks puzzled, then annoyed.
Two of the neighborhood harpies (one is the scrawny one who always has big pink rollers in her hair, Casilda) spot Mari and gnash their teeth that they have to deal with her being around again.
Stef is at Isa’s place and tells Isa that there’s no need to worry – it looks like when Mari found out that JM’s not interested, she went back to the hacienda. Like the papers today say, he’s into the nanny now. Isa is surprised to hear that Ceci went looking for her. We should pause to evaluate Stef’s hair ribbons – today they’re white and way too long.
Anyway, Isa says that Ceci should give it up and let Stef be the daughter. Stef says it’s JM I want to be accepted by, but I won’t be comfortable as long as Mari is still crazy about him.
Ceci agonizes some more while the judge comforts her. Maybe Mari crossed into the U.S? The judge has a flashback of a scene we haven’t seen – in it Stef speculates to the judge that Mari has gone back to the hacienda, but says let’s not tell Ceci because she’ll go looking for her again. The judge thoughtbubbles that maybe it would be better to tell Ceci that Mari has gone back and married the guy, that that might comfort her.
Purita goes to the church, where she caresses the altar cloth. The padre says ¿que haces aqui? She says she wants to be a nun.
Onelia yells at Rocio about letting Mari in. Rocio says don’t worry, she’s not coming back. Onelia stomps out. Rocio comforts Mayita and says let’s keep it secret from your dad that Mari was here. Maybe we should evaluate Mayita’s barrettes too: They are more understated than Stef’s ribbons.
JM comes in with Dr. Handsome and Rocio looks happy. Mayita says I have a secret! and Rocio rushes her out. JM follows and tries to get the secret out of her, but no luck. Dr. Handsome offers to take the girls for a car ride, so they’re off to the park for ice cream. JM sits down for breakfast and sees the headlines about himself in the paper.
It’s time for the hearing. In a regular room with just lunchroom-style chairs, there is the judge and a couple of lawyers. Blanca watches from behind bars. Onelia is shown in by a guy who looks like Tony Blair and she accuses Blanca of the murder and JM of planning the whole thing. One lawyer says wait – it’s just supposed to be Blanca, but Onelia’s lawyer says Onelia has formally accused both. The judge asks for some evidence to support her accusation and the lawyer says it’ll be produced later.
Out in the hallway, judge Velarde tells JM that Viv being pregnant is the sort of thing that catches the public’s imagination and that can affect the judge’s decision, no matter how much he wants to be impartial. Her case may already be lost – anything you try to do to help her may be useless, plus you may go down with her.
In Grannyland, Mayita says that Onelia says her mama isn’t coming back this time. Granny says maybe it’s best to believe that. Mayita is a little choked up, but she says she’s experienced her mama being gone before, so she’s prepared. She tells about her Mari secret and says she really wants to tell. Granny says maybe wait just a little before saying anything.
The lawyer asks if JM and Viv fought a lot and Onelia says yes. He didn’t respect her as a woman, a wife or a mother. He wouldn’t let her care for her own child! She goes on to say that JM had total power over Blanca and that Blanca was very submissive. They were lovers! Behind her bars, Blanca is shocked.
Ceci goes to see the padre and says he’s going to be mad at her – she went to La Escondida to look for la escondida.
Avances: Ogla loves up Mari’s baby and dicusses him with Cande. Omar shows up at the church and asks Padre Anselmo where Mari is.
Hot off the griddle: Here come the legal types out of the other room. Blanca is led out in the background, but she’s still on the other side of some bars. JM asks her if she’s okay and she says yes.

I can't watch this right now...but also can't stay away from your recaps. Great title (how many times have I said that) and loved "hot off the griddle" and the crack about Marichuy's outfits being so skimpy there's not room for even a chaptstick much less a purse. Love your humor kiddo.
* * *
Julia... also loved YOUR story about studying in the library all disheveled when your secret crush walked in. You posted too late for me to see it that night but it was a great story.

Great recap...thank you! The chapstick line was really funny!
I have a question...why do those nasty neighborhood women (epsecially the one with the pink rollers in her hair) hate Marichuy so much? I don't understand why they would care she was back. I know that one neighbor has just been plain old mean and nasty to other people as well (which how she has the nerve to criticize anyone with those ridiculous rollers in her hair all the time is beyond me), but I just don't know why they seemed so angry that Marichuy was back.
Also, did you see Estefania crying behind Ceci when she said she went to look for Marichuy? It looked like she was dabbing away tears in her eyes. Do you think that was part of the act in front of Patricio to fool him into thinking she is sad for Ceci (I think I heard her call her "Mama" in this episode which I don't think she's done in a while). Or do you think she's upset and getting scared that if Ceci finds Marichuy that she's out and might actually have to get a job instead of wandering from house to house (none of which are hers) spreading her evil.

Thanks for the recap Maggie. Loved your commentary as well (on Leo, purses, Ceci and Mari).
I'm with JudyB I can't watch the torment. For now my plan is to read the recaps and skim through the recorded version. I wish the writers could at least give me credible reason for Mari and JM being apart as opposed to the mis-communication and people hiding information.

Wonderful recap, as usual.
Marie, the lady with the pink hair rollers does not like MC because she is jealous that she has such beautiful hair and doesn't have to walk around with rollers in all day long...NO, just kidding! I remember her chasing after MC when MC clipped some roses from her garden and brought them to the church and placed them on the altar. That really ticked off roller lady. MC also stole milk from the milkman to bring to the orphanage. This woman is the same one, along with her posse, who stoned poor Olga. Such moral fiber. Speaking of Olga, what happened with that storyline? Last time I saw her, she was out cold and the Padre was rushed to the scene. I guess the police weren't called in and she recovered with no problems and no scar on her forehead! Don't even get me started about her daughter now wanting to be a nun. Oye,vey!
Okay, which is worse, Stefi with her hideous hair ribbons, long ones, short ones, and plunging neckline or Rocio with her barrettes/ribbons, short-shorts, and heels? The only one who should be wearing ribbons or barrettes is Mayita. Love that kid!
I, also, am getting tired, yawn..zzzzz...of this story and the constant keeping apart of MC and JM. This guy should know he has a son, especially one as cute as this baby! I cannot believe Rocio didn't tell her brother his one true love was back in town. Come on, Mayita, spill the beans!

Maggie, unsettling days for us Cuidado viewers. Everything is depressing, everyone is crying and no one is happy. The only bright light is the recaps. Yours was great and sincere thanks for injecting some badly needed humor into a humorless episode.
Violet, of all the frustrating things that happened last night, Rocio not telling JM that Mari was there was the worst. She obviously has a lot of compassion for Blancha but knows JM still loves Mari so what's the deal?
What I'm unsure of is who exactly knows about the baby? I mean of course aside from Pad A, Mayita and the evil trio (Isa, Stef and Amador)? I don't think Rocio knows - if she did I can't believe she wouldn't have told JM.
Marie: "...did you see Estefania crying behind Ceci?" Yes, and it made me ill as well.
I give Mari credit for not running back to Leo as a consolation prize. But, I worry her resolve will be broken when he shows up on her doorstep. He's already had his heart broken once. She should either send him away immediately or confess all and see if he is willing to take a chance as she does not love him.
I keep watching to see how much further JM will be entrenched in his current misery and what the next ill-advised decision he'll make to further mess up his life. :) Diana in MA

Diana,
I don't think anyone, other than the ones you mentioned, know about the baby. By the way, how are they paying for diapers, formula, cute baby clothes for little baby JM with no money coming in?! Wonder what kind of job Mari will get. The best part of last night's show was Cande knocking over the bucket, slamming the door, etc when Mari wanted her to be quiet. She is a joy to watch!

Violet - you made me laugh with your hair jealousy commment...ha, ha! I do love Marichuy's hair, though! I'm even a little jealous. It's so pretty, I wish I could get waves and curls like that with my hair, even though I think they are extensions.
I'm with everyone else...they are keeping Marichuy and JM away from each other using ridiculous scenarios...basically everyone they know is keeping secrets for no reasons. The fact that Rocio didn't tell JM about Marichuy being in the house and told Mayita to keep it a secret too infuriated me. She should have ran straight to him or called him on his cell phone right after MC left! If Mayita doesn't spill the beans then my last hope is Balbina...I thought she was going to tell JM last night about Marichuy being in the house when she saw him but no such luck!!

Maggie, great recap of a dismal episode. It's high time for some cheering up around these parts.
I too have been wondering throughout the whole show where Mari stashes her money and other necessities when she goes out.
Violet, Marichuy had a little money from that TV show she acted in (which Amador directed) right before they left for the hacienda. They probably haven't really spent much as I imagine Leo insisted on paying for things while they were staying with him.
What absolute plot contrivance for Rocio to not tell JM about Marichuy! She would not do that! Especially since he had just recently told her that he still loved Marichuy.

Violet, Marichuy had a little money from that TV show she acted in (which Amador directed) right before they left for the hacienda. They probably haven't really spent much as I imagine Leo insisted on paying for things while they were staying with him.

Also, if Eduardo had the important information about Viv not being pregnant (and being a total liar) and JM knew that Ed had something important to tell him regarding the case, how have they not communicated? Ed went to a medical conference, not to a meditation retreat in outer Mongolia, so presumably he is in a hotel with phone service and their secretary knows where he is.
Julia, right, I forgot about MC making all that dough being a "star."
Yes, where or where is Ed? That makes absolutely no sense. If he has evidence to prove that Viv was not pregnant, why on earth is he not calling his good buddy, JM, and telling him the good news? Pick up the phone, e-mail, ANYTHING! I really can't get past JM actually believing he had sex with Viv. Drunk or not, come on, wouldn't you remember? Grrr....
Marie, I love MC's hair too. I think she is a beautiful girl.

Thank you all so much for the kind words..
We’ve been commenting on the lack of continuity, and yesterday I read something interesting in TV y Novelas (you can decide for yourselves if this is a reliable source!):
They said that the author of the original 1974 series our show is based on (una muchacha llamada Milagros) is upset that several sub-plots have not been included, which she felt made the original show much more interesting. Meantime, the present writer is upset that several scenes she wrote have been eliminated, causing inconsistencies. And the actors are upset because they have filmed scenes that later got cut.
Also, the original writer said that the concept was to have an older man/younger woman story and she feels Wm Levy is way to young for the part.
The magazine also said that this was originally an afternoon show in Mexico, but the ratings were so high there that Univision decided to show it in the evening here.

Well, I for one am glad William Levy isn't any older. Juan Miguel is already like seven years older than Marichuy, which I think is plenty. If they were both a decade or two older that age split wouldn't make a difference but your twenties I think it does.
Maggie, I guess all the cuts that everyone gets mad about explains why we sometimes get flashbacks of things we never saw in the first place. Some editor decides a scene isn't important and cuts it, then the writer is like, "No! We need that to set up what happens later! Cram it back in on the next episode somehow!" and sometimes they do and sometimes things just seem goofy.

JudyB, thanks for the caution. I knew I couldn't trust Patricio. He hasn't really always shown the best of judgment. My tutor doesn't mind being called mi gordita or me negrita, but that could get me severely damaged in parts of Houston. Go figure. It's getting close to time to head home and have Gaitan's (of Juan Querendon) favorite libation, a Pancho Villa (that's a cabollita of Tequila with a flower in it), and watch the goings on in Tontas.

Thanks for the great recap, Maggie.
Julia, I agree with you about the inconsistency regarding Rocio's character of not telling JM that Mari was at the house. I remember when she was always matchmaking Mari and JM and helping Mari send that cute email while he was on his trip. Knowing Rocio, I think it is more like her character to say something like "Mari, help JM. He thinks he's responsible for Blanca being in jail and is sacrificing himself when I know, he knows and you know that deep down inside you're the only woman he'll ever love" when Mari showed up at the castle.
Anyway, I guess if things worked out between JM & Mari right now, our soap will end. But, ohhh, the torture is just too much sometimes! I'm a glutton for punishment though cause I keep watching.

Carlos, very funny. Because there are characters named Patricio and Rocio in both shows, I keep getting confused too.
I'm pretty sure MC's hair is fake. i saw a clip of an interview for CCEA on yt where they were showing 'behind the scenes' and a stylist was fixing a wig in her hand that looked exactly like MC's perfectly curled hair.
