Cuidado con el Angel - Monday, Feb. 16, 2009 - Secrets Revealed

Episode 100:
* MC and Pat confront each other in Pat's office. She tells him off about his lousy attitude and insults towards her; how well she's doing with her career and finances; that she doesn't need anything from him or his family. He's frustrated and wants her to leave. She won't leave until he answers her question - is he her real father? He finally blurts out, "Yes, I am your father!"

* JM brings Blanca home to his castle.

* MC continues to tell Pat off about his insults and indignation towards her; how he and Ceci abandoned her to an orphanage and then to a miserable life on the streets. Pat defends his wife. MC is still hurt and bitter towards both of them.

* JM talks with Nellie about Viv and her secret trip abroad (I think) and he suggests that maybe Nellie should do the same and leave the castle - it is his home and he wants to start his life free and new, with Mayita and Blanca. Nellie reluctantly agrees.

* MC continues her tirade against Pat and Ceci in Pat's office. Pat wants her to stop and leave. She continues to badger him - He tries to interject comments but she shuts him up before he can speak. She blasts him about his treatment towards her while she lived in his house; how he gave preferential treatment towards Steffie over her. He can only listen to her arguments.

* Nellie cries to Balbina about having to leave the castle.

* MC tells Pat that she doesn't want his last name or money or anything from him or Ceci; only to be left in peace and never to see them ever again. MC stomps out.

* MC rides her bike along the street.

* Cande sits and plays with JM Jr. in the living room. MC rolls into the room, crying, and tells Cande that it's true, the Velardes are her real parents. Cande leaves MC with JM Jr. MC cries to her son about her broken heart and her regrets over arguing with Pat, her real dad.

* At the castle, Balbina talks with Mayita about Nellie leaving on a trip. Mayita and Cuate leave the play room.

* In Nellie's room, Mayita asks Nellie about her trip. Nellie explains why she's taking it as well as promises to return with gifts for Mayita. Mayita is excited about the gifts.

* Back in her bedroom, Blanca cries to Rocio about her worries and fears over returning to the castle. Rocio has to work hard to calm Blanca down. Mayita enters and hugs Blanca and welcomes her back to the castle. Mayita then informs her and Rocio that Nellie is leaving on a trip. Mayita leaves. Rocio assures Blanca that there is definitely nothing to worry about. Blanca is content.

* MC, in her costume backstage, is off in her own little thought bubble. Amador comes up behind her and tries to get her to focus on the performance tonight. MC is thinking about her argument with Pat but covers with a story about her nerves. Amador introduces her to the new leading man for the play (Ramon?). Ramon(?) leaves for his dressing room. Amador asks MC what's really the matter?

* Omar and JM are talking in the living room about Blanca's court trial - the shooting - the verdict. JM informs Omar that Blanca is back living at the castle with him. Omar is stunned.

* MC tells Amador that she now knows the truth - that Pat and Ceci are her real parents. Amador says he knows - everyone does. MC is upset and crying about learning the truth; all the questions she needs answered. Amador works to calm her down and focus on her performance tonight. He pushes her onstage - she takes her place but her mind is still thinking about Pat and Ceci.

* Omar finds Blanca sitting in the kitchen. She's startled by his voice.

* Mayita talks with Granny in fantasyland about Nellie's sudden vacation trip. Granny doesn't think Nellie will be leaving.

* Omar enters the kitchen and Blanca is impactado as they stare at each other.

* Granny and Mayita finish their talk. Granny blesses her and they kiss and hug good night.

* JM presents Omar to Blanca. Omar tells him that Blanca is impactado by him. Blanca shakes it off as Balbina enters to tells JM that Mayita is waiting for him to kiss her good night. He leaves with Balbina. Omar asks Blanca if she remembers him.

* Back in her dressing room, MC is still visibly upset. Amador is so excited over her success in the stage play and tells her to continue to focus on her career and forget all about Pat and Ceci - she doesn't need them; in fact he tries to convince her to hate them for abandoning her.

* Omar talks with Blanca about a woman he once knew that looks surprisingly like her. She stares at him in silence.

* Olga helps MC get ready for the next act in the play.

* Omar gives Blanca a compliment. He then explains his friendship - brotherhood with JM. Blanca is nervous and leaves. Omar thought bubbles about Blanca and Ivette. JM enters and talks with Omar about Blanca and her mental disorder.

* At the cafe restaurant, Nellie and Isa have lunch and discuss Viv's past crimes, that she wasn't really pregnant and that JM brought her killer back to the castle. Isa is intrigued.

* Cande sorts out sweet rolls into a basket at the table - she talks to herself about Olga and MC.

* MC is in the living room, playing with JM Jr. Amador watches and comments. MC assures him of her goal to work and raise her son. Amador reads the paper and then shows her the article about JM and Blanca (Blanca's release).

* Nellie and Isa continue their discussion about Blanca. Nellie is paranoid that Blanca could snap and kill again. Nellie grumbles about Blanca and JM's marriage plan.

* Amador is critical about JM and Blanca getting married - MC gets really annoyed and irritated and tells Amador to stop.

* Nellie thought bubbles in her room about her plan for revenge in her daughter's memory.

* MC continues to scold Amador - Amador leaves for work. MC holds JM Jr. and tells him that the two of them are family and will always be together.

* Rocio and Blanca talk in the bedroom - Rocio wants to give Blanca a make-over. Blanca is nervous and refuses (because of her other personality).

* Rocio walks into the hallway and takes the phone from Balbina. Ceci is on the phone, asking for MC's address. Rocio doesn't have it yet, but when she does, she will call. Ceci will be patient and wait.

* Omar and JM meet with Padre in the family room. Omar tells Padre about talking with Liria and his plans to return to the hacienda soon. Omar leaves. JM and Padre talk about JM's continual, undying love for MC and that he knows about her son.

* Cande and MC feed JM Jr. and talk about the baptism.

* JM tells Padre that Amador will be her husband, since he is her baby's father. Padre is impactado and tells JM, 'that's a lie!" JM is stunned and asks, 'then who's the father?" Padre comes right out and says, 'You are!'

* Steffie keeps Isa company at the restaurant. Isa relays the information from Nellie about JM and Blanca at the castle. Steffie doesn't see any point or motive to interfere. Isa thinks there must be a way to do something.

* JM is confused by Padre telling him one thing and MC telling him something else - he doesn't know what to believe. Padre assures him that he is the father of MC's son; that MC told him so herself at the church right before he helped her leave town many months ago and hide out at Omar's hacienda with fake names. Padre tells JM the entire story, the cover-up, everything. JM wonders about all the secrets? Why did they need to do that? Padre says MC is the only one who can answer that.

* In the audience at the theater, MC talks with another actor as they finish for the night.

* JM confronts Cande at the apartment door about where MC is. Cande won't tell him and wonders why he wants to see her; what ties he has with her? JM says it's because of their son. Cande is impactado.

* Nellie returns to the castle and asks Balbina about her room; in an instant, Nellie fakes a back injury and Balbina comes to her aid.

* In the room, JM asks MC point-blank why all the lies and secrets about their son? MC says that her baby is hers alone. JM doesn't believe it and demands an answer. She finally says, "for love. I did it for love."

ADVANCE: Blanca wants JM; Nellie is suspicious and paranoid about her; JM confronts MC about her secrets and their son.

Thanks for the great recap, Eeyore. I like your title as well.

This is the episode that I get to see or paid attention to. I have been disenchanted with the show for awhile, so I just use to use it for background noise. But with this episode, I did enjoy it and did paid attention.

I had some questions because I wasn't sure if the previous episode showed that or not, but this episode clear it up. This is especially true in regards to Marichuy and all her secrets around the baby and how that relates to Omar and Juan Miguel.

Finally secrets and more secrets are being revealed. I am more hopeful that in time Estefania and Isabela will be catch and sent to jail.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this episode with Marichuy confronting Patricio and getting him to confess that he is her father. I am glad that she let him have it. The man is a piece of work. He still doesn't want her as a daughter. The rejection of Patricio hurts Marichuy a lot. I think she feel that she is not wanted again as in the beginning of her life. Patricio deserved to be yelled at. I have more sympathetic feelings for Cecilia.
It will be difficult for Cecilia to be accepted by Marichuy especially after the confrontation with Patricio.

I don't understand when marichuy responds to Juan Miguel aboutShe finally says, "for love. I did it for love."

OMG! Julie, This is truly awful. But are you sure you can't pick it up somewhere? I live in RI during the summer, without cable or internet, just a regular old rabbit ears antenna and I could pick up WUNI (channel 27) in Providence. Some nights it was static-y and I had to play around with the antenna placement, but I watched anyway and it kept me in the loop. I don't know what to expect after the switch to digital, but some are saying they can pick up more channels than before.

I will miss your wonderful recaps, but hope to catch you here on Caraycaray! (at least when I have internet). Hasta la vista!
 

Sorry about that! My comment to Julie was meant to go on the FELS blog.
 

eeyore: Great recap. Much as I dislike Nellie, I totally agree with you that: "Nellie is paranoid that Blanca could snap and kill again." Guess she's going to be sticking around...

At least one of the characters in this present mess, Padre Anselmo, is thinking clearly. Thankfully, he has told JM the truth and spared us months of angst caused by Mari's lies, Amador as little JM's father in paricular.

Now that he knows the truth, it makes no sense for JM to stay with Blanca but as reason has little to do with it... Imagine the Omar/JM showdown is coming as soon as the truth is revealed about Mari's dual identity.

Wish Mari would thaw enough to forgive Ceci. Enough already. Diana in MA.
 

What is Patricio's problem? Why is he still entertaining Stefi and Isa knowing that they lied, and treating his own child like a criminal. I don't get this story line. Mc for once is right in chewing him out. Poor Cecilia. Guess you can't choose who you fall in love with.The man is a complete snob.
 

Thanks for the recap Jody. Thankfully things actually moved forward in this episode.

I am happy Padre A told JM the truth. I really do hope that MC does not blast Ceci again especially knowing that Ceci was so upset after their meeting she got in an accident. And that Ceci is suffering a great deal b/c Pat is an idiot and irrational (as others have mentioned what man asks his wife to choose b/t him and their child?).
 

Thanks Eeyore for the recapping this interesting episode. I was cheering when MC was yelling at Pigtricio!! What scares me is the writers made this character a Judge and he is so irrational and angry. Not good at all.

I think Ceci needs to grow a backbone. I love Helen Rojo, she is an amazing actress and I hate seeing her character being so pathetic.

As far as JM bringing Blanca home so he can "cure" her. What a lame storyline. I wonder if the actors cringe when they see these stupid character arcs or because of the time constraints, they cannot offer any input?
 

Hi,
Now that FELS is ending, I'm slowing starting to watch Cuidado (I've watched only 3 episodes and read the ESMAS inital summary) but I've missed so much I plan on reading all the Caray Caray recaps in the coming week. Glad to see the recappers here have as much fun as the FELS recappers. I thank you all in advance!! Dee2
 

It's truly hard to believe that Patricio wouldn't be moved by the sight of his only child, his own flesh and blood standing right in front of him. Especially as he knows how much she has suffered from being raised as an orphan. It's not as if he raised Stefi and so already had a father-daughter bond with HER. His bitter intolerance for Mari based on her minor transgressions just doesn't make sense. I've always thought that the writers were trying to suggest that Mari inherited her strong, stubborn character from Patricio and that is why they butt heads.

I did like this episode for the most part since it moved along with some resolutions, and hats off to Padre Anselmo who has had enough of this lying nonsense, like the rest of us.

Thank you Eeyore for your clear recap of all the happenings.
 

Thanks for the recap Jodi!

I was way behind on watching, but thanks to the wonderful recappers was able to catch up with the recaps. Amazing, after about 5 weeks, not a lot has changed! I can't believe Patricio hasn't thawed one bit.

Diana, I think you're right about the showdown between JM and Omar. During FELS (I normally don't watch, but this is the final week) they showed a preview that looked like exactly that for "este semana" with Omar shouting at JM that MC is HIS, not JM's.
 

Finally, people are putting an end to Marichuy's lies! Way to go, Padre!

I also loved how horrified Omar looked when JM said he brought Blanca home. Maybe no one in his family will challenge JM's stupid ideas, but I hope Omar does, or at least stays around to protect JM's family since JM won't do it.

Does Marichuy know that Stef isn't really the Velarde's daughter, or does she think they are sisters? I can't remember whether she ever knew Stef was an imposter but I'm guessing not.

Thanks for the recap, Jody.
 

Welcome Dee2. Thus far Cuidado hasn't been as crazy as FELS but we have (until last night) been experiencing painful lies from the protagonists that just cause pain all around and delay the storyline.

Julia - I believe you are right and MC does not know Stefi is a big fake. And I too am happy someone on this show doesn't think moving Blanca into the castle is a good idea.

And ITA with J.J. about Pat and his "father/daughter" bond with Stefi. Moreover he's seen her act bad but chooses to ignore it but can't get over MC.
 

Thank you so much Jody!

I sure loved seeing Mari give the judge a nice, long what-for. I also like how the judge actor played his part, looking maybe a little chagrined after she left.

JanZ – I too wonder what the actors make of the scripts they are given. But I bet you’re right that they’re under too much of a time constraint to really have much input, so they just forge ahead. I felt sorry for Wm Levy that they had JM pass out after being grazed by a bullet – that must’ve shamed his testosterone!

Welcome Dee2! It’s nice to have you join us. I haven’t been watching FELS because I can only watch one show, but I sure do like the theme song.

They left us thinking that Mari is going to confess that she fled the DF due to her big love, but it may turn out that she means the big love for her baby. The writers are always doing the bait-and-switch thing with us.
 

I agree, Maggie--I think when Marichuy says she did it for love, she means her baby. Why does JM keep asking her why she ran away? Doesn't he remember that she disappeared shortly after he told her that Viviana had came back from the dead (punctuated by "Vete, Marichuy")? Duh, JM.
 

Eeyore: Thanks for the recap. I'm getting back into this novela again. The lies and ridiculous situations just got to me. This could hve been such a great story if the trickery had been left out. It was getting like FELS - you know, Mari's lines and JuanMi's lines over and over again.

I hadn't thought about Mari telling JuanMi that she did it for love - of her child. That would be another kick in the guts for him.

Gee, Omar almost put two and two together. Guess we'll have to wait for Blanca to have another meltdown for him to recognize the woman who did him wrong.

This is the only time I can agree with Onelia - Blanca is dangerous. JM should ignore her little fainting spell and move her to an apartment, or help her pack and visit her sister. She is so annoying.
 

Just gotta say that blast-out by Marichuy in the beginning pretty much redeemed her and the show for me. That was well-deserved the way Juez Velarde has been toward her, although it's kind of hard to believe he would really be that hard-line about it after finding out she's his daughter and after being tricked about Estefania's identity. But he hasn't shown very good judgment for all that he is a judge anyway. But that scene was very well done.
