Las Tontas no van 2-25 Wed - An old hubby gets sacked, an ex hubby ain't so bad, a new hubby gets comfy, an unknown hubby leaves, and a cheatn hubby..

.....gets someone else to pay his light bill?????




Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I hoped by including them, I wouldn't have to type as much. Didn't work as well as I hoped to prevent typing, and I wasn't able to get them in the beginning, but hopefully you'll enjoy!



We open with Pato begging Candy for them to be a family. She pauses then holds up three fingers. He thinks maybe 3 more kisses but she gives him three reasons why they can't be a family he already knows them, and so do we. Her sister, his betrayal, yeah yeah, same old stuff. Except, since we're counting, our galan busts out the figure that he's missed 2920 times to make love to her and wants to get time back. Eventually she realizes that's a lot of days since she's done it. Ouch.

So now we are at the appointment with Zam and Sole. Turns out her hubby is willing to give her a voluntary divorce and doesn't want to take away any support. Apparently it's not necessary that Zam goes through this charade of protecting her. I think this bums him out though. of course he loves being needed.

We have another episode with Horty being very fond of her boss, who is telling her he's not there to talk to Candy. She in a red neglige type dress promises to as he wishes. When she finally backs down, he thinks he might actually fall one day for that.
Turns out Donato is calling for some assistance regarding this Jaime situation. Jaime is using his Dad's robe, and his slippers and stuff. Santi says well Mom married him so we have ot get used to it, it's not a big deal. He hangs up and then it dawns on him he better go over there in case his Ma kicks him out because Donato is his main spy!!!

Sole and Zam go to Meno's to slog back some tequilas and have lunch. Sole says they are now friends, in fact she wants to take him out to a nice restaurant now that the divorce will be over to thank him for the favor. Of course he likes this idea.

Mari goes to see Barb who was looking for her. She's heard she's not seeing her therapist anymore. Mari yells at her for pushing her, and this pisses her off, but all Barb was trying to do was motion her to sit down. Seems Mari shows us more and more that she is losing it. Barb thinks something is weird with her, Mari blames it all on hormones and the pregnancy, and they can be buds, but therapy doesn't work for her, so no therapy. Yeah it's hard for it to work when you think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Sigh. Barb says fine, but notes this bizarre behavior along with us.

Santi gets shown at home by Donato the horrors that Issy new hubby is inflicting and that maybe they should get him drunk so they can get him out of hte house. Santi manages to calm him down, admiting he's jealous, but this isn't that bad and Donato needs to get over it despite being a good friend of the Dad. Donato agrees maybe he's being immature. Santi says you are only obliged to grow up, not to mature. Donato resigns himself that he's not getting any help here. I suspect this isn't the end of this though.
Zamora is cleaning the windows as punishment for going off with Sole, but he feels it was worth it. Tono razzes him about paying the bill and he agrees there may be a class problem.

Turns out the Abandonados are building a treehouse for Santi's baby. Santi thinks maybe it's 6 or 7 years too early for this, but they remind him how fast time flies. Santi agrees that he will one day tell his kid about the "tios" who made the house for him.

Lulu and Greg fight about Cazuela in the kitchen again. They duel with whisk and wooden spatula. Papa Meno has to come in and break them up. he says if they don't stop acting like kids he'll fire them both. Why are they so competitive anyway?


Candy brings Chava home from soccer and sends him up to a bath.


Donato didn't hear anything Santi said and he goes to the mouth of the wolf and tells Jaime to take off his dead master's robe. Jaime is offended and tells him to quit being rude. Issy eventually has to run interference on them.

A sullen but pretty hot woman shows up seeking help from the institute. Chayo converses with her and describes the problems she has had with her husband.

The little angel is praying for everyone - this was the cutest scene, I tell you she is the best little actress- but she wants to ask her Dad something and doesn't want him to get mad. She wants to be like her Mom and wants him to help her to do it. Hmmm, Santi is impactado but manages to hug her anyway.

Hot woman apparently left, but now runs back screaming she's going to sue them all because now her husband left her and she accuses Chayo for telling her to stand up to him. Barb tells her to calm down and that they need to chat. She nods.


Pato is instructing the "family" how to put up the tent and that it is important to have air in it and then we'll have a bonfire, and...she says he doesn't fit, he's not going. Chava thinks he will fit and he wants him and isn't going without him.



The "parents" argue about this like a couple of kids and it turns out that Pato agrees not to go, so Chava will get to go.





Santi and Mom have a discussion about her living in their house and him essentially suggesting that Jaime lives in another house, because Santi loves her more than anyone. Mom wonders how that will work exactly. She reminds Santi that he loves her like a son would love his Ma and that makes her happy and well Jaime loves her like a man loves his wife, and that makes her happy too. Santi tells her his Dad loved her more than that guy ever could. She’s begins to tell him about how she loved his Dad and still cares for Jaime in a different way when the wicked witch of maternity arrives and interrupts the chat, complaining about gaining another kilo. Wah wah.

Candy meets with a lawyer famous for putting away fraudulent plastic surgeons. Candi wants to know what she knows about the hack doc who killed her sis and learns that he’s had 43 complaints against him. Well she has one more for the ambulance chaser. Lica Beltran learns that Candy writes the Tontas column. She never misses it.

At the institute, the very hot supermodel type named Francis is complaining to Barb how she will die without her husband and loves him so much she prefers mistreatment than to be alone. Barb teaches that is dependence, not love, and it’s a sickness.


Sorry, I just seriously doubt this uberhot woman would be afraid she'd be alone without a husband, but, whatever… a light bulb goes off for Chayo who listens to all this. Yeah Chayo, light that up a little, eh??




Turns out Candy decides to play Erin Brockovich and goes to confront the lawyer representing the evil doc plastico and tries to shame him for representing such a guilty killer. Our defense lawyer is not troubled in the least. He will represent that all these women are defaming his client.


It turns out Barb is able to encourage our angry hottie that she can do without hubby and she gets sucked into all the treatments. We get a montage of everyone working their magic including Meno teaching her to move her hips. Yeah right, like she doesn't know that...


Candy and Santi have a sort of mature conversation and he congratulates her on her article about the plastic surgeon. She notices that he hasn't tried to grope her or anything, so maybe they could actually be friends afterall. He says the day is young, and almost fakes her out, but then confirms that's a joke. He asks her to dinner, but she has a date with little galan.

Horty is flirting with someone on the phone when Lalo comes up and sweet talks her with the help of a little green (or red or blue or other prominent peso color) to pay his electric bill for him, because he's stuck with house chores since Chayo's been working. I'm wondering if his amante works at the power company.....
Candy and Chava show up at Lake Chapala and decide that a very public landing is the perfect place for them to set up their tent, and like those parking spaces in front of buildings, miraculously no one else in the second most populous municipality of Mexico is camping or even lunching around this beach...

Meno and Pato have a heart to heart, Pato saying how much he loves her the same since the first day, but Meno saying yeah she’s not like other girls who are rugs to be stepped on. Pato shows the talisman he found and learns of it's significance from Meno, and why both sides are together.




Meanwhile the two Cs are frolicking on the very wobbly dock, Chava proclaiming he’ll be a sailor someday! Yeah Chava!! My kind of guy…but Candy reminds him he wanted to be a soccer player too.

Ali comes in the office and Pato tells her how well the Ocotlan furniture is selling in Cali. She tells him they have a dinner tonight with his parents. He says… say it with me…not sexy, because he can’t go, y punto. This prompts her to ask why he’s with her. Definitely the next logical question… we are left for tonight with him asking her if she really wants the truth.

Hey Fuego....such fun to have all those wonderful phots AND a link as well. You really spoiled us today.

I think Soledad looked particuarly lovely when she would smile or laugh at Zamora's goofiness in this episode. Everyone "lights up" when they smile but it's particularly noticeable in this actress.

Cringed when Lulu threw the eggs on the floor during her spat with Gregoria. Cleaning up those viscous eggs is the worst chore in the world. As a mom and grandmom, I can tell you I don't find food fights funny at all!

Loved your "say it with me....not sexy". Yep, we're getting a lot of repeats in this one. Repeats of phrases, repeats of diaglogue, repeats of scenes. Time to pull the rip cord!
 

PS Tagged it for you. Thanks again for staying up late to put in all those lovely pictures and the link.
 

Thank you so much for the great recap.
Ok, since Marissa is getting more and more unstable is there a chance she might go off the deep end and end up in a mental hospital (or locked in someones attic), and Santi will raise the child and live happily ever after?
Candy would be a great mom to all his gang.
Pat can stay with Alicia.
I wonder if Soledad and Zamora might become more than friends?
I've liked this actor since LaFea and although he can be nerdy and goofy he always seems like a "nice" person.
The Isabel/Jaime line has just gotten too silly. I don't care if she does move back to Jaime's and lets just move on with something else.

Carrie L.
 

Oh I love the pictures! You're so clever Kris.

I thought the dance scene with Meño and uber-model was hilarious because she was trying so hard to NOT dance well. She looks like a dancer to me.

I don't understand why everybody is giving Jaime such a hard time. First of all, why does Isabel still have her dead husband's crap lying around? Second, since she does what's the big deal if Jaime wears it? I'm with Carrie, yawn, let's move on.

JudyB, I kind of liked the food fight. I was hoping it would escalate into much more. However I don't get why Lulu and Greg are so competitive. It's hard enough to work in a kitchen without dumping each other's dishes down the drain. Pure nonsense.

Uh oh...I don't like that wobbly dock.

Thanks Kris, we really got treated today, a fantastic and funny recap and some great pictures! I'm very impressed.
 

Kris, a great recap of an entertaining if not exactly exciting episode. I really like the excellent quality pictures. I know that Jaime is supposed to be a likable sympathetic character but from the outset he has rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I would prefer that Isabel ends up with Donato who is clearly fond of her. Perhaps Santiago's negative vibes have poisoned my thinking.

Let's hope that uber-model sticks around for awhile. She seems like a a quick learner.

Thanks, Kris. Good recap, and photos too! They can be pesky. I loved the line, "wicked witch of maternity."

I agree, Donato and Santiago's attitude toward Jaime is ridiculous. Even so, it gave us a heart-to-heart between Santi and his mom, in additions to the heart-to-heart between Santi and his daughter. I just adore when those pairs get together.
 

Thanks for the recap and pictures Kris. I hope things start to move forward in Act II soon b/c many things are getting repetitive.
 

Kris, what a great title. It was a fun episode and your recap and pictures were terrific.

I enjoyed the Lulu/Gregoria food fight. I like both characters and think that out of everyone, Gregoria is changing bit by bit, however slowly.

I'm not a Jaime fan either. Maybe it's me, but I would never consider wearing my husband's ex-wife's clothes. I think Donato may be on to something here...

Marissa is descending into a very dark place. Hope she gets the help she needs. Diana in MA
 

Thanks Fuego, I loved your recap with the great pictures and poking fun at these silly people. The dialog was mostly warmed over yesterday's news. Get some fires lit under these writers, we need new scenes and new words. Great title too.
 

Great recap, and I especially liked the pictures.

I've been wondering why the Institute apparently has no permits, no certifications, no attorneys, no insurance, no business plan, but seems to be doing just fine. I guess I shouldn't ask. However, the woman's threat to sue should at least make the ladies consider some form of contract, insurance, or whatever.

However, since we now know that if you can teach a person to slice tomatoes straight she'll never sue you, I guess our worries are over.

I agree that something funny is going on with the electric bill that Ed wanted Hort to pay (by giving her cash). I was thinking maybe this was not the bill for Ed's place, but the bill for the amante's place! Hope I'm wrong.
 

Wow...guess I'm just naieve but I never thought of the murky possibilities of Eduardo asking secretary to pay the phone bill. That is so typical...that executives (or the equivalent) ask the secretary to take care of stuff like that (she is the "office wife" after all) that I just took it for granted it was what it appeared to be. But you all could be right! Time will tell.
 

Hombre, I agree that the Institute is a strange and wonderful place. In fact, I think Chris Ferro (who owes us an update on the family addition!) commented some time ago on the institute's lack of any visible means of support.

Hmmm... maybe we should all move to Guadalajara and start an Institute of Telenovela Watching.
 

Too late Mike. Someone beat you to it. You know about the immersion language schools in Mexico (Cuernavaca, etc.)? Last week I heard that there is a language school in Mexico that teaches through Mexican TV. I wonder if they use Derbez? Now that would yield some interesting vocabulary lessons!!
 

Oh. Well. Umm, is there an Institute of Agave Research and Gringo Snark, then?
 

I loved the food fight too and would have loved to include photos of the eggs on the floor if I had them! I was wondering if Lulu fell on purpose or if that was impromptu.

Mike I like your idea of an institute. I know who I would elect as board members!!! :)

Dudes I wanted to post one more thing but forgot. For those of you Juan Q lovers, and I think this shouldn't violate any rules, but it turns out our Paula and Juan found love in real life, are pregnant and supposedly getting married this weekend. YOWSA!!!!!
 

Oh right, I think Cheryl mentioned that yesterday or the day before. What a surprise...NOT!
