Las Tontas Thurs 4/16 - Big boys DO cry and guess what, Mari is Loca
Reminders from yesterday: Lalo interrupts Santi and Horty's discussion of CARLOOOO to tell him he need to take him home right away. Alicia and Mariloca get on the plane.
Santi is at home and Marissa calls him. She gleefully and evilly tells him to watch her video. Raul turns on the TV and the wicked witch of the west appears in the crystal ball. Lamentably, Santi will never see his son, Bwahahaha. Bye my love and kisses to candy. Caras impactadas from Raul, Santi, Isabel and Lalo.
Santi says she's not just crazy she's psychotic. Raul swears he's allied with Santi in this but Santi continues to blame Raul for always defending his hermana loca. Santi tries to call Mariloca but no luck.
Meanwhile the brujas make themselves comfortable on the plane and cackle at Santi's photo on Mari's ringing phone. (The closed captions say carcajada = guffaw or loud laughter) Alicia says he is pouting. (Cara de puchero - pouty face) Mari laughs that she's not sure what she'll do but certainly she'll not return home for a while. She giggles that she'll tell Santi the baby died because if she says she put it up for adoption he'll look and look and look for it. They laugh hysterically when she says maybe she'll tell him it died and she put it in a bag and threw it in the garbage. Holy Toledo, did I hear that right? What a couple of lunatics!
Rocio, mouth agape, hides behind John Lennon's picture and eavesdrops while Lalo tells Donato what Mariloca threatened.
Pato comes home to find a big "Welcome!" and balloons waiting for him. Al left a note, she's thrilled he's returned, dinner's in the oven, she loves him and will see him soon. "She's crazy," he mutters, "no no no I can't stay here."
Over at the House of Miracles Chayo tells Candy about Mariloca's insane message. Lalo told her that Mari said Santi will be the victim of the worst humiliation of his life. Candy grabs her purse and rushes out.
Santi and Isa talk some more about how crazy Mari is and what they should do, hire a PI, call the police? Santi is completely spun out at the idea of never seeing his bebe. Rocio listens at the door and becomes increasingly upset. She finally comes in sobbing that it's all her fault because she once told Mari she didn't want a baby brother. Santi tries to comfort the poor little tyke.
Pat calls his dad to tell him he's moving back into his house and there's room for both of them. He decides to eat the dinner and talk to himself, woe is he about Candy. His phone rings and its...Candy! She asks him to look after Chava while she helps Santi out, she fills him in on Mariloca's diabolical activities.
Santi and Paulina AKA mommy dearest try to console Rocio. MD rolls her eyes while Santi kisses his sweet daughter.
Lalo tries to console Santi with a man hug and a cup of tea.
Over at the restaurant Sven pushes Ole toward Lulu and a mild flirtation ensues. Toño asks to be her novio and she rushes off. Zamora comments it's the shortest romance in history.
Santi tells Isa he wants to be alone but she has a surprise, Candy is there. Santi has really lost his bravado and he doesn't know what to do. Candy kindly comforts him. She says all she wants to do is help him find his son. Santi suggests they watch the video together in case any clues reveal themselves. He suspects La Loca might have an accomplice.
Raul shows up at Santi's door. Donato tries to refuse entry but Raul pushes. Isa interrupts and crosses her arms. Raul swears he had no idea what his twisted sis was up to and he's a victim in all this too. Isa agrees to let him enter.
Candy and Santi watch the witch in the crystal ball again and Raul shows up. Raul swears allegiance to Santi and Candy says she belives him. He gives Mari's apartment keys to Santi so he can search for clues. The friends shake hands and make up.
Mommy Dearest assures Rocio that her Papi will find her brother. Somebody silently rolls by in a car and takes pictures of MD hugging Rocio. We only see the back of head so this must be Pau's mystery man stalking her.
Santi and Candy search Mariloca's apartment but find nothing. Santi tries to think like a loca, she wouldn't stay in Guadalajara, but where? They search some more and Candy finds a red paper bag with baby clothes and a note. "Don't look for me cuz you won't find me, if Candy is with you tell her hello and it's all her fault."
Amidst the family's problems Tina has her test results and is crying over them. Isa tells Tina she's lived it and knows what Tina feels. The news is bad but not necessarily a death sentence. As Isa provides words that prepare Tina to win her personal battle Donato looks on with love and affection in his eyes. He gives Tina a thumbs up.
The stalker in a striped tailored shirt continues to take pics of MD and Rocio. Creepy.
Santi calls airlines but can't get information. He's totally frustrated. Candy suggests maybe calling Mari again and leaving a message on her phone. Big hug from Candy which he appreciates mucho.
Pat relaxes on a lime green couch and watches the news. The news team is at the airport and who should stroll in front of the camera but Marissa! (No sign of Alicia, darn.)
Rocio cries to her two novios that Mariloca stole her brother. Beto reminds them that Chava told them she had a bad heart. "The worst of all," cries Rocio. Chava proclaims he'll cry with Rocio. Beto tells him men don't cry. Chava educates Beto that men DO cry, he's not some macho recalcitrant and he'll cry with Rocio. Beto decides to cry with her too and the boys hug their little pal.
Later the kids come in and are greeting by a loving Candy and a surprise visit from Pat. He must speak to Santi ASAP cuz he saw Mariloca at the Guadalajara airport.
Santi goes nuts, if she was at the airport Mariloca could be anywhere! Candy and Pat take him outside to calm down. Santi thanks Pat and it seems like these two really could be friends. Maybe. Someday. Poor Santi stares at the starry sky in paternal anquish as his beautiful eyes pool up with tears.
Santi and Candy go back into the house and Pato is alone once again. He gets tears in his eyes and says to nobody in particular, or maybe God, "I'm sorry, it hurts." I'm beginning to quite like Patricio.
The witches arrive at their hotel in Quito Ecuador and Al thanks the guy in English (with a very good accent I might add). They rate the varietals of South American men with Argentinos deemed to be the most handsome. Al puts her feet up but Mariloca wants to get connected so she can send hate emails to Santi. (Conectame la compu.)
Back in sanity land Candy gives Santi some of her miracle advice blah blah blah feel with your heart and everything will resolve itself that will be five cents please.
Mommy Dearest arrives and Candy kisses Santi and Rocio goodbye under MD's sneer. Rocio giggles to her daddy that he should have given Candy a kiss. MD scowls her disapproval.
Next morning Isa prays to the virgin asking her help to ensure her grandson will be born healthy and that Santi will be able to hold his son in his arms.
Barb has a therapy session with Marta and her jackass of a husband Lucio. Barb tells him that he needs to, ahem, warm up Marta's engine before he can put her into gear so to speak. He gets pissed off at Marta because they are sharing their intimacies with a stranger. He yells and storms out of the office. Barb advises Marta to go to a neutral place and try to talk calmly to Lucio.
At school Rocio and Chayo converse morosely about the difficulties of parents not loving each other and hence not getting to live together as one happy family.
Mommy Dearest eats lunch and the mystery stalker calls her and then hangs up. He's in the same restaurant but she doesn't see him. She calls her friend Yennifer but it sounds like Yennifer hasn't seen hide nor hair of "him". We finally get to see the frontside of the stalker but he's obscured by horizontal slats so we still don't know who he is, but he's close, very close. At least we get a half-assed cell phone toss out of the deal courtesy of Pau.
Marta and Lucio talk. Seems he can't say "I love you" or maybe can't get his soldier to salute or something. She says Candy says the solution is simple, they have to accept professional psychological help from Barb. He manages to squeeze out a half-hearted "Te amo" and Marta seems thrilled.
Paula is at Santi's office showing showing some leg and spreading herself across his desk. She admits she's a bit jealous of Candy because she loves him. He stutters "yo yo yo yo yo" about a million times, blathers on nervously that he and Pau have no future. She says she's got it all but as Serrat said, "without you my bed is wide". (She means Joan Manuel Serrat.) Jaime sings "Sin Ti" a la Serrat and she embraces him "I love you". He tries to pry himself from her tentacles.
He tries to talk her into going back to New York and the life she loves. She's got disquieting news, she intends to launch her collection in Guadalajara. Sure seems to be a lot of Guadalajara promo going on. So far it's the jewelry hub, the plastic surgery hub, the female self-help, modern international airport, and now it will be the center of high fashion.
The miracle workers hold court in the women's room where Chayo tells the ladies it took Lalo two hours deposit his specimen in the cup. Lulu seems to not completely grasp the content of the discussion.
Lalo tells Santi about his experience at the clinic. They talk REALLY fast. Lalo recalls fantasizing about the sexy nurse in garters while sultry brazilian music plays. Ayyy, Lalo's memory screeches to a halt and he jumps up, realizing the sexy Brazilian nurse was Santi in drag; he asks does Santi have brazilian heritage? Lalo is horrified while Santi makes the "come to papa" gestures. Wouldn't it be fun to see these guys acting with each other in a live production?
Sole comes home and is cranky to find Ceci with a pretty young blonde (who bears a striking resemblance to Ceci, could Ceci have a daughter?). Ceci introduces Aracely to Sole. Aracely gives Sole a friendly kiss on the cheek and Sole coolly asks to see Ceci alone. Sole immediately bitches to Ceci about bringing her lesbo friends into her house. The pure house that is inhabited by she who boinked a guy on a one night stand, bore a son by said guy, and would have stolen the guy from her supposed best friend if she'd had an inkling she could have succeeded. Ceci excuses herself and Solier than thou mutters to herself about Candy.
Santi gets home, checks his email and yells "Loca" because Her Nastiness sent him an email. "I've already gotten rid of the brat. You understand what that means, don't you?" He rants that he doesn't believe she aborted but she could mean anything, given it away, put it up for adoption, nobody knows for sure. He swears that if she's done anything to his child..."Hijole! For the love of God that Marisa is loca!!"
Tomorrow: Santi emails Mariloca and swears he's going to find her.
Santi is at home and Marissa calls him. She gleefully and evilly tells him to watch her video. Raul turns on the TV and the wicked witch of the west appears in the crystal ball.

My son wants computer, but a few notes. Thank you, Sylvia. Good recap. Quite a wild ride tonight!
Chayo telling the whole group of girls about her husband's difficulties at the lab? How dispicable is that?
Why does Santiago resist Pau calling our star "Candida Morales"? He keeps correcting her, "Just Candy."
I think Ed didn't realize that the ugly nurse in his fantasy was Santiago, until later when he's telling Santi the story. That's why Ed suddenly freaked out. Sylvia, when you said, "Does Santi have Brazilian heritage?" I'm not sure if that was Ed's question or yours. Camil's mother is Brazilian. He gets his looks from his father and his exuberance from his mother.

Oh! One more thing. The soccer rivalry between Chivas and Club America, in Tontas. The big match, El Classico, is this Sunday. The guy I asked says it's 2:00 Pacific on Telemundo. I can't vouch for the reliability of his advice. The way the superbowl is the BIG game in the US, El Classico is the big game in Mexico, but it's always Chivas vs America. Anyone know who is favoried this year?
Paula, I realized you are right that Lalo didn't realize the sexy nurse was Santi until he recalled his daydream. I clarified that point in the recap. I also clarified that it was Lalo who asked if Santi was Brazilian. Thank you! And I did not know that Jaime Camil has Brazilian heritage which makes the whole thing even funnier.
I don't know why Santi and Pau keep having the conversation about Candy's name. It's odd, isn't it? Maybe Pau keeps calling her Candida because it annoys Santi?
Interesting info about the Chivas/America match. I just checked Tivo and couldn't find a listing for it but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Sylvia - saw your title while scrolling down to look for MEPS and had to pop in just to say I LOVE the title of your recap. DH and I just saw the "Jersey Boys" show a few weeks ago ....
Good morning Miss Sylvia...I'm always intrigued by the descriptions you come up with. So apt. Santiago trying "to pry himself from Pau's tentacles" was a marvelous word picture. And I loved "Solier than thou". My, that was an ugly scene! Hope it gets cleared up soon.
As revolting as the Marissa/Alicia pact is, I'm highly amused by the way Marissa orders her pal around and Alicia's ire...slamming the bag in the overhead compartment, hoisting the computer around and having to change her position on the couch etc. to please Mariloca. Our witch is holding all the cards and is having as much fun torturing Alicia as she is Santiago.
Of course, we KNOW eventually the baby will get back to Santi safe and sound but in the meantime, here's my rant:
I HATE it when a situation occurs that makes you sick with anxiety, and someone else just blathers on "It'll be alright. It'll all work out, etc." They don't KNOW that and they're just denying your real, and very justified anxiety. I want to bash Candy in the head everytime she does that and she seems to do that at every crisis. Sure didn't hear her saying that to herself when she saw Alicia and Pato kissing after the ceremony.
Okay. Rant over. Well, maybe not. I actually felt sympathetic towards the poor beleagured macho husband. One could hardly expect him to feel comfortable having intimate shortcomings (no pun intended) exposed before a strange woman. Jeez! Possibly if he could discuss it with a sympathetic male doctor...but a mini-skirted psychologist in a Women's Institute!? That's asking too much. I'm sorry for his wife but I also felt sorry for him.
Okay...I'll shut up now.

Sylvia: Your recap was wonderful. "Solier than thou"? One of the best lines - ever. "Sanity land" and "the miracle worker" were great as well.
I enjoyed the Santi/Lao scenes: "
Wouldn't it be fun to see these guys acting with each other in a live production?" Absolutely - I think they would be like Tim Conway/Harvey Korman on the Carol Burnett show (does anyone remember or am I hopelessly dating myself?) They did a lot of physical comedy and were always cracking each other up.
The plane discussion between Mari and Ali was nauseating. Please, let her have the baby when Santi or some other sane person will be there to ensure nothing happens.
When Pat saw Mari on TV I was yelling "where is Ali???" Glad Pat went to Santi's to help although you could see how difficult it was for him to leave and how much he was hurting. Santi must have said goodby 3 or 4 times but as Pat made no move to leave, he and Candy finally went inside.
Rocio's tears and Tina's test results were hard to watch. Glad she has the supportive Donato by her side.
Judy: " As revolting as the Marissa/Alicia pact is, I'm highly amused by the way Marissa orders her pal around and Alicia's ire." It's great, isn't it? I think Ali's had it and will turn on Mari in a New York minute as soon as she gets the baby.

These two are great comediennes, Diana. It's the only thing that makes their yucky scheming bearable. Alicia is especially funny I think. Haven't to knuckle under to anyone (even Pato) is not her style!
Maybe I was a little harsh on Marta's husband Lucio. Just because he's a jerk doesn't mean Marta's completely off the hook. During their conversation he did ask her "Why have you kept quiet for thirty years" or something like that. So apparently she's really good at playing the victimized wimp.
Diana, I DO remember the Harvey Korman/Tim Conway skits from the Carol Burnett show. Once in a while I go over to you tube and watch the dentist skit for a good laugh.

Jeri, I just saw your question from yesterday as to when I first saw EY. My husband started watching DA and I remember vividly walking by the TV and seeing EY for the first time. That was it. I was hooked.
Unfortunately, this was toward the end of DA so I missed the majority of it. Many are handsome -Colunga, Levy, etc. but for me, EY is it. I don't think I missed more than a few episodes of FELS mainly because of him. After seeing the photos on your site when he was younger (which are great), I think he has gotten even handsomer as he's grown older. Diana in MA

Thanks for the recap, Sylvia; "Solier than thou" is a great pun! LOL
Thinking back to earlier in the show, I'm trying to remember if there were some scenes of Candy going to school. I think there were...in flashbacks that Meño had maybe.
Anyway, I sure hope she has training for what she does. Except for Barbara, the rest of the institute's personnel all seem to be picked up off the street.
What did Soledad do before she came to the institute? Oh, well; often in telenovelas, characters just step into careers of miraculous conception.
I never felt, for example, like the principles at Conceptos ever worked a day in their lives before that, except for Lety.

Anyway, I sure hope she has training for what she does. Except for Barbara, the rest of the institute's personnel all seem to be picked up off the street.
What did Soledad do before she came to the institute? Oh, well; often in telenovelas, characters just step into careers of miraculous conception.

Thanks so much Sylvia!
I'm liking Pat more and more. I hope he and Santi will become good friends. I'm not sure how Pat will react to Alicia's part in all of this but I think she would do anything to keep him.
I think somehow Pat will connect Al's trip to Locamama. I'd love to see he and Santi swoop down on them and rescue the baby.
The Pau stalker was creepy. I really didn't like him taking pictures of Rocio.
The writers can't be thinking of putting her in danger I hope.
Pau in the green dress reminded me of some Disney character. I don't know if it was Cruella de Ville or the witch from Snow White but it struck a familiar cord in my memory.

P.S. Diana (our posts crossed), I feel exactly the same way; and we are in good company with that expression.
They tell me that in Mexico, before EY left to try his luck in Hollywood in the 1990's, he was "it." He was hugely popular.
I first saw him in DA, too; and I agree he is even more appealing now, although he was gorgeous as a younger man.
If you are interested in picking up copies of DA, I know a good person for that, although it will probabl replay. Write me at jeri@tormenta.com, and we can effuse together. ;-)

Thanks Sylvia. You know that I love your work. I really enjoy watching the twisted sisters together. They certainly do make a macabre odd couple. They manage to keep me(and apparently Santi as well)guessing.
Soledad's peckishness with Cici is off-putting but she still looks good in her little shorts outfits. As my mom would have said,she's just cute as a button.(Is there actually anyone who thinks buttons are cute?)
And is the thing with Hortensia and Carlos going anywhere? I for one hope not. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy, but no, she can do better.
All the Tequila talk yesterday prompted me to enjoy a little shot of Cabo Wabo(thanks Sammy Hagar) during Tontas so it probably seemed better to me than it actually was.
Thanks again.
Carlos

Thanks for the recap Sylvia. The evil plan is really creeping me out so I'll have to rely on recaps to get me through.
Ladies, some of your comments help me understand why my mother and sister were happy to go see movies like "Ben Hur" and "Spartacus."
Yep, sometimes the light does come on in the male mind.
Sylvia, you and Judy are competing for one-liners. First, her "Sunday School with Sex" and now your "Solier than thou..." Brilliant!!

Carrie, Pau reminded me of Jessica Rabbit, maybe not the body but the outfit. In fact I almost called her Jessica. She also that that Cruella de Ville collar thing going on.
Thanks for the comments everyone. I hope everybody has a great Friday!!

I loved this recap, Sylvia, thank you! Especially liked "Candy gives Santi some of her miracle advice blah blah blah feel with your heart and everything will resolve itself that will be five cents please." LOL!
I think since the good guys think maybe Mariloca had an accomplice, they should figure out it's Alicia pretty easily. Just look at the cast list, and see who's not in town. Just kidding. Of course, even if they did figure that out, they wouldn't know where to look.
As for Paulina's stalker, this doesn't make any sense, but I thought in the recap the other day, in Pau's conversation with Jenifer, they referred to "Jorge". Well, there's a Jorge who's Soledad's ex, could it be the same guy? I know, it doesn't make any sense, but maybe Televisa's actor budget was cut.
Oh, and Carlos, I agree, Soledad looked especially awesome in her shorts outfit last night.

Sylvia, I love the "Lalo's memory screeches to a halt." What a perfect way to describe the image! And the "Five cents please." Except I think Lucy gives better advice to Charlie Brown, than Candy gives.
Geri, Candy got her degree in writing or journalism or some such. Her qualification for her position at the institute? Well, she's been a world class metiche all her life. Frankly, I think Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton would be better sources of wisdom than Candy.
Someone really, REALLY needs to give Roc a better answer than "It's not your fault." Someone needs to tell her, "Marissa was angry at your daddy because he left the wedding. If not, she will continue to believe it is her fault - that her brother who she loves is gone, she'll never see him, he might be dead (if Mar tells Santi that), and her daddy is devastated, all because of what she said to Marissa. Heck! When we had our big earthquake, little kids thought it was their fault because they fought with their sister or some such.
As much as we slam Candy, she sure is good medicine for Santiago, isn't she? Just having her in the same room makes his world better.
Any guesses about the stalker? What his story is? What he'll do?

In her conversation with Jennifer, I didn't remember her calling the fellow "Jorge," although I did notice it in the recap.
I don't think this fellow is going to be sinister. Paulina has to have somebody to get her off Santiago's back; and they need some new blood in the novela, too. So I think it should be someone nice.
Knowing Paulina, she's running away from the mystery man, because he wants to get involved. My guess is that even if Santiago acquiesced, the challenge would be over, and she'd leave him again.
It could be that the guy with the camera and the phone is a P.I., reporting back. But they gave us a really good look at the nice-looking back of his head, so I tend to think it is not a P.I. They wouldn't bother with a bit character.

Carlos, right, there's a small issue regarding the availability of "Ardiente Pasion" on Lesvos that needs to be resolved.
Plus we have to wait for SPOT to get a satellite geosynch'ed over the eastern Med. In the meantime, we can enjoy other Google Street Views

A few more stalker guesses:
- Since they recently had the Al Diablo con los Guapos visit from Mili, could the stalker be a bad guy from that show?
- Could the stalker be someone from Rosy Ocampo's last show, LFMB, such as Marcia's brother (can't remember his name). Or maybe even a sort of good guy, Aldo?
- Or, what's his story? Paulina's in the fashion industry in New York. Could it be some famous New York designer, and Paul was stealing fashion designs?
- But why did he take pictures of her? Could she have told someone, for some reason, she had no kids, and the photographer now has a picture of her with her daughter?
- Could it have something to do with one of the bad plastic surgeons that Santi has "unbefriended", and are somehow trying to get revenge on Santi?

What's-his-guts, the bad guy from Guapos who was Florencia's ex-husband (who is now Vlad on Mañana), lived in New York for awhile! He could totally know Paulina! I don't think the back of his head looks like that, though.
Oh, yeah, we have that whole charlatan-surgeon plot to deal with yet.
Speculatively, Santiago winds up in jail, implicated with his former colleague -- the guy who killed his patient and Candy's sister.
It's going to be hard to find Santiago's son in there cooling his heels.
Paula H, world-class metiche is right. What a nosy parker. So that's why she has the column in Raúl's magazine -- she's ostensibly a writer.
I vaguely remember that, seems like. Takes a lot of nerve to hang out a counseling shingle on that authority.

Paula, I meant to thank you yesterday for the demographic info.
And, Julia, I really thought you had it exactly right with the "seventh grade girls" metaphor.
Guess I was busy having too much fun writing the "spoilers!"

Jeez, now we're going to have to start caring about Pau. Oh, the sacrifices we're called on to make.

Hombre, the brother of Marcia was the little mermaid Ariel. He was my least favorite character, totally obnoxious.
I was afraid maybe the stalker would kidnap Roc to get at Pau. I hope I'm wrong!!!!!!!
I don't know how Santi can handle anymore.

Mike you are too funny, you and your street views. I've accidentally run across some oddball, weird and crazy streetviews but I never thought to save them and I don't think I could ever remember where they are.
Back to Pau's stalker. If the guy isn't sinister then why is he taking pics of Pau and Rocio? I hope I'm wrong but he's creeping me out. But if he's come to Mexico only to annoy Paula and doesn't bother anyone else then I'm all for it. Stick it to her I say, just leave the kid alone. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's another Rosy Ocampo favorite. I fully expect to see a familiar face, but who it might be...I haven't a clue.

Sylvia, can I make a totally irrational request? Could you please call her Pau or Paulina instead of Paula? If her name was Paula on the show (like Paula in JQ), it wouldn't bother me. But since it's not, and she's such a dispicable person, I don't want to think of her as having my name. Podría yo pedirte, humor me even if I'm being irrational?
Not that irrational Paula. I saw one comment where someone used Pau and at first I thought they were talking about you. :-)

A late post, but I'll do it anyway...I loved your cell phone throw notation. I kind of forgot about those!
I have to admit, I noticed the Solier than thou but wasn't sure if it was a typo because I didn't get it right away. Not totally sure if I still do, is it because her name is Soledad and combined with "holier" or is there some other reference I'm missing like to soil? I'm having a dense moment, sorry.
It's still funny of course whatever it's angle.

Hi Kris, yes "Solier" was a deliberate pun on "holier". Very stupid I admit but what the heck, it was late and I'd had a couple of glasses of wine.
