Wow, Jody! Lightening fast again! How do you do it? I’m in awe.

This was a fun episode that kept me awake no problem, even though as usual inordinate amounts of time was spent with people giving each other Significant Looks. And even though as usual the plot had holes in it.

Looks like Nelson finally tumbled to the fact that his BFF Amador is actually an a**hole. And the judge is finally tumbling to the fact that Stef is fudging a lot of her stories and that her ethics are very iffy. Why is she even in that house? She’s so worried about being out on the street, but she’s young, attractive and bright, plus her tia has a place where she could stay. She could find a job, maybe one where dishonesty and deviousness are rewarded. Oh yeah, I guess that’s the job she has now, she’s just working as an independent contractor.

Why is Vicente living in his apartment that has a flight of stairs to get in and out? What if there were a fire? And why, oh why, is he using the strategy of being so cold to Rocio? That is a major plot hole that the writers don’t seem to be able to fill up.

It seemed to me that the press people were kinda rude to Mari, suggesting that her manner of speech was too ghetto. Did I understand that correctly?
 

Thanks for the recap, eeyore!

Couple of questions I hope someone can help me with...when did Nelson and Elsa have a son? I've missed a couple of episodes but have tried to scan recaps and youtube to keep up and I don't remember Elsa even being pregnant. Did I miss something big?

Also, are Eduardo and Beatriz officially dating now? I thought they were kind of seeing each other before Elsa came back into the picture. But then I wasn't sure if Elsa still like Ed or if Ed still like Elsa, etc. But I hope he is dating Beatriz now after how Elsa left him for Nelson.

Thanks in advance!
 

Jody, thanks for the great recap and details.

Marie, Elsa and Nelson having a son was also news o me. I thought Elsa was holding Beatriz' son.

Maggie, agree with your take on Stefi "She could find a job, maybe one where dishonesty and deviousness are rewarded. Oh yeah, I guess that’s the job she has now, she’s just working as an independent contractor."

It's unbelievable that Pat, someone who professes to be so ethically and morally upright could spend even a day with Stefi let alone let her continue to live in his house.

The actress playing Ceci did a superb job in the scene with Mari. Her heartbreak seemed truly genuine. She is a wonderful actress. I can't blame Mari for being upset but she really rebuffed her in a cruel manner. She could have been a little kinder.

JM continues to be as clueless as ever. Diana in MA
 

I found this episode to be all kinds of frustrating and unpleasant. I hated the way Mari treated Cecilia when she could see how tormented she was and trying to make amends. If this is the new, improved Mari, I don't care for her at all. And rude or not, the reporter has a point about Mari's diction and speech pattern. It's such a stretch to think that someone who can't read, write or speak correctly could become an actress, and a stage actress no less for this role.

And what was up with Vincente celebrating the call from Rocio when he had hung up on her and basically told her to forget about him. He's a dolt like a lot of men on this show.

Elsa and Nelson don't have a child. The baby was Beatriz' son. Was there ever a plot line about them wanting to have a child of their own? I only recall that they didn't have any money so maybe that was the issue.

It seems they cut out the scene where Cecilia had the accident or did I doze off? All of a sudden she is very gravely injured. Maybe they'll show it in a flashback.

I did like the scene when Rocio told Onelia she should move out of the house if she doesn't like the friends JM invites to stay. She should have just left off the "if you don't like how JM is" part and just said "hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more".

I also liked your clear, speedy recap, Jody, so thank you very much.

J.J.
 

Thanks for the recap, Jody.
Can you tell me what exactly Amador said to Ceci that upset her so much. She looked so shocked that he must have said something terrible.
Thanks
 

thanks J.J. and DIana for clearing up who's baby Elsa was holding -- as usual writing and watching this drama don't mix very well.

Wasn't sure what Amador told Ceci. Of course, I'm never sure about what "mumblekins" MC says. Most episodes I want to jump through the television and slap some of these actors upside their heads and give them diction and enunciation lessons.

Jody :)
 

Jody: "Most episodes I want to jump through the television and slap some of these actors upside their heads and give them diction and enunciation lessons." :)Thanks for the laugh.

I appreciate you supressing your urge to give diction lessons and focusing instead on providing your remarkable, enjoyable recaps! Diana in MA.
 

Alice--I thought that Amador told Ceci that she shouldn't tell MC that she is her mother, because that would make MC hate Ceci even more (hard to imagine that MC could be even meaner than she already was with Ceci).
 

Yes, Amador did tell Ceci that if Marichuy knew she was her mother she would just hate her more.

While Elsa was holding Beatriz's baby, Nelson was talking about how she had wanted to have a baby, but he didn't, and now he wishes they had had one so she would have some part of him left after he dies, but he hopes that when he's gone she finds someone else to marry and they have lots of kids. It was actually kind of sweet, and I do remember a short scene a long time ago in which Elsa mentioned wanting a baby and Nelson rudely shot that down.

I LOVED the scene where Rocio told off Onelia. "If you don't like my brother bringing HIS friends to HIS house, then YOU leave! You're making me crazy with your ridiculous bossiness!" or something like that.

Thanks for the recap, Jody.
 

Missed last night's episode, but taped it and will watch later. I look forward to seeing the scenes between MC and Ceci.

I hope Amador is not going to make trouble for Beatriz. Remember when she told him she was pregnant, he wanted her to get rid of it and then when he came to the hospital after she had the baby, he barely looked at him and was just smirking? CREEPY! He's up to something.

When will Patricio FINALLY kick Stefi out of his house. I still don't know why she is still there.

Just as Omar is about to get a gander at Blanca, oops, emergency at the hacienda. Grrr...

Such a great and fast recap!

Thanks for the recap Jody. And thanks for clarifying what Amador the idiot said to Ceci Debbie and Julia.

I'm with you J.J. regarding this episode and the only fun part being Rocio letting Onelia what JM should have told her at the beginning of the novela. I really hated watching Ceci and Mari. If Ceci didn't have that accident, I thought the writers would have her die of a broken heart.
 

Does anyone know whether Leo knows that Blanca is the same woman from his past? I would have thought that he recognized her from the pictures in the newspaper and just doesn't want to drag out all that old baggage again, but is it possible he has no idea? I've never heard him actually say (in a thought bubble or anything) that he knew it was her. It seems implausible that he wouldn't at least ask himself the question, if he knew her by another name but knows she has multiple personalities, since her appearance is fairly distinctive.

Then again, JM never had a clue that his nanny and his hotsy-totsy were the same person, because hoochie clothes make the perfect disguise.
 

As I much as I enjoy this show, I love that I can come here to the recaps and comments for a little validation. Apparently some of these shenanigans weren't make any sense during the first run either! :-) Even if Pat doesn't want her to, I am SO ready for Estefi to leave!
