Tontas - 4-29-09 -Wed -Many look but don't see and Women can only do 70 things in life...hmm

We open with more counseling of Chava about bedwetting. Pato tells him he did the same thing but his Pa showed him how not to. He would get up and go every three hours and then run back to bed. He would pray everynight for the super power to not wet the bed and eventually he didn't. The baby cries.

Pau shows up to give Mario some booty, but she reminds him she's not there for fun, rather because he obligated her. He reminds her if she makes him happy, he will not want to tell about anything, least of all intimate happenings. They make out and sink into the bed.

Back at Pato's he brings out the baby and they test the mildk to feed it, but then realize that the baby stink to high heaven and that it needs a changing. After drama beyond drama about the stink we see a blurred out diaper being wrenched from this poor sleepy little guy as if it was a timebomb. Eventually all turns out ok and I guess this was a bonding experience for Chava and Pa over the new esquincle. Poor baby. They never did feed it. They all decide to go to bed.

Pau arrives at the house late and is spied by Donato who calls her on her timing. She ends up offering money to see and hear nothing. He begs for more money and agrees when he gets it that he is now like Shakira, deaf dumb and blind.

When then go back to more Shanti/ Candi kissy face. He asks her if she ever wants. Wants what? You know....me. She says she wants a man she can trust, and takes care of her and seduces her. She says yes so he wants to know which room and starts naming them off. She eventually kicks him out and he leaves her with a bunch of roses for her to kiss if she misses him. Oh, and a mini bell that she can ring and he'll appear. He retired the official one but the little one is theirs. She tests it, he runs front and center. OK, cute. next...

Donato wakes up Santi to clue him in about Pau and Mario's indiscretion, and shows him the money.

Candy kisses Chava over the phone but he's going to school with Pa who makes him a "sexy" breakfast. Oh pulease.

Shanti thinks it's strange that this happened but he doesn't care because she's his ex. He tells Donato to keep the money, he's been told nothing remember? Donato remembers how much he's losing his memory.

The institute gals are looking at their new web page which will be launched at a press conference officially tomorrow. Candy says they all get to go and Chayo will make the plane reservations and Candy will beg Meno to let Lulu off.

Santi is whispering in the office to Lalo that he and Candy are now novios. Horty over hears this and wants to congratulate her. Santi tells her it's a secret so don't say anything to her. You look but don't see, listen but don't hear and open your mouth but don't speak. She takes this as another opportunity to try and flirt with him.

Lalo isn't sure that Santi can reject another woman and he needs to convince Candi of this. Santi wonders where the heck he's been for the last few months, brother. They have an exchange about whether he's told her this same thing and he says sort of but she maybe thinks he's joking or something or the message isn't being transmitted so well, but she's not quite understanding. Lalo thinks of course, because she's a women and it's scientifically proven there are only 70 things she can do in life. Santi is interested. Lalo doesn't know the first 69, but for sure sweeping is one. Nice. Santi tells him this is why his wife kicks him in the shins all the time. Lalo promises to take care of the clinic so Santi can be with his girlfriend. He thanks him and gives him a huge kiss when Horti walks in and screams at this. She wants one too.

Pato takes Chava to school, runs into Beto who asks why he didn't get to sleep over and explains because Chava had to understand about the baby. Pato gets in trouble with Soledad for treating the boys differently. He tells her to chill out and that Chava was there because of his issue with the baby and nothing's wrong he loves them both. Yeah Sole chill a little, eh?

In the office, Barb wants to ignore work but learn instead what Santi said when Candi rejected him. He barged in and says look at him, he wasn't rejected they both decided to get to know each other more. They joke about psychology, and whether he's lying about his feelings and whatever. Candi call him a blockhead and they joke and she rings the bell he comes back, blah blah. Cute lovey stuff. I'm not sure if this is better than the fighting.


Donato visits Tina in the hospital and she asks him to lean over to give him a kiss and thanks him for supporting her and giving her hope and calming her fears. Very sweet. He told her the Virgen would take care of her. He asks for another, but doesn't get one


More Mario schmoozing Pau and begging her to be lovers so no one will find out. He loves her. He thinks he'll stay in Guad for her if she won't go back to NY. He thinks she liked their humping session despite her protests.

Raul is moaning about dining solo all the time and Sole sort of completes his thought. He thinks maybe it would be nice if they had dinner together so he asks and she says yes to his surprise. Guess this is the beginning of something....is he finally over his dead wife and her surrogate Candi?

Pato and Ma talk about how Ali loves him and Candi is over and he needs to move on. He's not ready. He says Ali is only the Ma of the baby. She hears this and walks up right then and asks if he told Ma Pa lives there too. Ma is impactada, but Pato explains it's a big house and so forth.

Zamora moves into the big house and fights with Donato about carrying his suitcase. Of course Issy and Jaime get to greet him and of course they take this moment to ask him about the origin of his name, not liking it much. He explains his real name is Carlos, but he got Zamora from his adopted dad when he was little and he likes it. They agree to call him that and Jaime tells Issy he is reminded of his lost son whose name was also Carlos. OK, we get it now. More blows to the head.

Santi and Roci are making chipotle chicken and Candi begs Pato to finalize the divorce. Cute scenes of them cooking together.Raul and Sole dine and he finds out that she llives with Ceci, but not the way he thinks. They are not a couple. He likes to hear that. He tells her about the magazine. They are getting on well.

Chava and Candi are arguing about why he should change his underclothes every day if they aren't dirty, and she says because you just do. She then explains that his Pa has plenty of love for him and the baby, his love multiplies.

Tina goes home and Donato offers to help her to bed for her prescribed rest. And they took out the tumor, but not her character.

Candi shows up at Pato's office to sign the papers and he blows her off. She wonders why he's doing this, but lets him off the hook and tells him to call her when he can go forward. He tells God he can't do this, he loves her. He calls and cancels the appointment and refuses to make a new appointment.

Santi talks to some patient chic when Pau shows up and he is mad because he's busy with patients. He begs her to stop, he doesn't love her anymore. She steals a kiss and he gets made and calls her abusive.

Pato and the boys are playing soccer when Ali shows up with the baby. She found out he didn't sign the papers. He tells her he's still in love with Candi. She's mad if she is only in the house for the baby. He says well, kind of. She says well she might not like this situation anymore and maybe will move into her own apt. He says look this is all your fault anyway, you begged me and wanted me to get close to the kid, come on.

Ali decides to play dirty and asks Chava if he would like to be living in the house with them. He doesn't think Ma would let him and Ali thinks she's egotistical (selfish).

Santi contracts the best private investigator in Guad to look for Marissa. He sees this case a little bit of a lost cause, he's not married, the law doesn't know this is his kid and she hasn't committed a crime, so she can't be dragged back. Sorry, but this would be a crime here if proper attempts weren't made to get the father's consent. Anyway, PI agrees to help the desperate Papa.

Pato brings Chava to the institute because he wanted to see Candi. He wants his parents to live together, but she says they can't. He gets mad and runs off. She cries that he wants to live with his Dad and not her. Huh? I didn't get that, but whatever. I think it's funny, she has remnants of a tear before they even discuss everything, so clearly this is at least the second take. Funny.

Missed all but the last few minutes of this so really enjoyed your recap Kris. Thanks for the link to the Shakira number. I don't know that particular song so it really helped. Have a great day, amiga!
 

Kris: Terrific recap, thank you. You provide great detail and write so well.

I enjoyed the scene where Santi and Lalo were discussing Candy. Their sitting across from each other and moving their chairs back and forth so they wouldn't be too close was a well done, subtle comedic touch. As many of us have said, these 2 are perfect comedy foils for each other and look like they are having a hard time keeping a straight face.

It was nice to see Raul and Soledad together but while I think Raul is ready to move on, Sole may not be.

How is Ali deluding herself into thinking this will all miraculously work out for her? Hasn't she considered how upset and angry Pat will be when her part in the "adoption" of Santi's baby is discovered? Even worse, does she really think she'll get away with it? I'm probably alone in that I also don't think she cares at all about the baby. Any means to reach her end. Blech.

I'm disappointed Pat is holding up the divorce. He needs to come to terms with the fact he's lost Candy and move on. The problem is with whom? Don't think it's with Soledad and certainly not Ali. Anyone else think Chava's teacher (who was in MEPS, in love with EY - who could blame her?? :) is a possibility? I don't think they've met yet.

Diana in MA
 

Kris, thank you for the excellent recap! Just curious -- where did the name Sven come from? I had been using it for Zamora, because I thought people here were using it for him for some reason.

But I don't remember hearing it in the show. So his name is Carlos, like the real name of Jaime's Frijolito, of course.

And once again, no divorce papers. With Alicia stirring up Chava to live with Patricio, and Patricio not giving up his Candy obsession, Arturo's suggested custody battle seems to be swimming closer to view.

I think Alicia will be successful in getting Patricio back in the end; they bothered with a mealtime scene between Patricio and Margarita, where his mom points out that Alicia loves him and that Margarita wants them to get back together. A foreshadowing, I think; a reminder to the viewers that this is on the back burner.

And Mario declared his love to Paulina -- not just his libido, which I feel he's probably done many times before.

He seems genuine, and as mentioned before, someone needs to get Paulina off Santiago's back, and I think it will be Mario again.

They have to show every woman in love with the hero, though; so she will be stubborn. I can't figure out why Paulina wants to get back with Santiago, and I hope they will make it clear.
 

Also, avoidance of a custody battle is the main reason Candy stayed "dead" for so long.

She said that Chava saved her life by giving her something to live for after her wedding fiasco -- and that to lose him to Patricio would kill her.

I feel like all the saccharine lovey stuff Candy was laying on Chava last night was a build up to show how she is going to be let down.
 

Kris, thanks for this funny recap. I'm afraid the cuteness and sweetness of this mating dance between Candy and Santi will wear thin rather quickly. Lulu and Toño are more fun.

I thought that Barbara was very attractive last night, especially walking out of the room. More Barbara, please.

Carlos
 

At the end Chava ran off crying about not living with his dad because Alicia poisoned his mind against Candy. Of course it's yet another leap of faith since all Al implied is that Candy was egotistical; not to mention Chava doesn't even really like Al. Good catch on Candy's pre-crying though. She's not a very nice lady for using all these little kiddies to try to manipulate the grownups, is she?

Jeri, about the Sven thing...early on in the recapping Paula starting calling the waiters Sven and Ole because they were the comic relief and always doing silly things. There is a long Scandinavian tradition of Sven and Ole (and Lena) jokes that pokes fun at Scandinavians. Here are some Sven and Ole jokes: Sven and OleHaving been raised with these jokes I jumped on the bandwagon, and at first it was easier to remember Sven and Ole than Zamora and Tono. I think last night was the first time I ever heard the name Carlos.

The scene with Santi and Rocio making chipotle chicken was really cute.

Thanks Kris! Great recap and I'm looking forward to seeing what pictures you decide to post.
 

Sylvia, LOL, ok, thanks very much on the Sven and Ole. That kind of rings a bell, but I hadn't known why it was applied to the waiters.

Carlos, I always think Barbara looks attractive. They don't do very much with her, and she's an interesting character IMO. More interesting than Soledad, whom we see plenty of.

I'd kind of like to see more of Barbara and Carlo in the elevator. That was funny.
 

I called them Sven and Ole because my favorite Sven and Ole jokes show Ole even dumber than Sven, with a one-two punch.

I don't understand why Ali put that bug in Chava's ear. Art knew that if Pat gets Chava, it will bring Candy closer. The same way Ali is using the baby. So why would Ali want it?

Diana, about Ali deluding herself that this will all work out for her. She's obsessed and willing to believe anything. What gets me is Pat and Paulina. Both want the one they dumped to give up and accept that it's hopeless. But neither is willing to give up the identical hopeless obsession for Candy/Santi.
 

Thanks so much Kris!
I'm really tired of Sole's pouting at the Beto/Chava/Pat attention thing.
I liked the face Pat made at her after their encounter.
I'm hoping she and Raul will get together.
I was afraid they would carry the Ceci/Sole situation onto something romantic. I think it's great if they stay just friends.
Santi is always cute. Candy is really getting on my nerves.
I love seeing the upper hand Mario has with Pau. I don't have any sympathy for her.
I'm sure Ali only wants the baby to get Pat. I don't understand why she ask Chava to live with them other than to hurt Candy.
I kind of miss the scenes between Ali and her sister witch Mariloca.
It will be interesting when/if Mari comes back to town.

Kris, thanks for the fun and entertaining recap.

I thought it was especially silly how big a deal they made over the smell of the baby's diaper, when 1) I seem to remember that they don't even smell much before the baby eats solid food, and 2) is this a good lesson to teach Chava, how terrible these natural functions are, just when he's learning to stop his bedwetting?

I sort of think Raúl and Soledad have a chance. Yes, Sole wanted Pat, but more than once, she complained of her loneliness, and maybe she just needs a good man, which hopefully, Raúl is.

Minor language point: Yes, egoísmo means egotism, but it is often translated as selfishness, and I think that's closer to what they were trying to say about Candy, that she's selfish, which to me is a tad less extreme than egotistic. In other words, we use the word selfish a lot more than egotistic, but in Spanish, they use the word egoísta a lot, since I don't think they have a separate word for selfish.
 

Remember on MEPS last week, the red-hot meeting between Ed and Fernanda? Everyone was buzzing about the lost art of seduction, employed so perfectly by TBLMOE. In contrast to Santi'a proposition last night, which was essentially, "Hey, Baby, you want some?" That's about as smooth as a 15yo boy.
 

Unless I am wrong, didn't Candy have a picture of herself on her desk next to the one of Meno/Chava?
Ok, Candy loves Candy or is this just a way to boost her self image?
I think I'm missing something here.

Carrie L.
 

I seem to remember that newborn baby diapers "drip" and it would definitely not be something you would wave around in the air in a smelly-poo game with your son.

Carrie L.
 

Candy does have a picture of herself on her desk. I think it's hilarious. The rest of her office, of course, is full of the sorts of collage posters everyone had to make to accompany their little presentation introducing themselves to the class at the beginning of 6th grade.
 

Pictures are posted.

Thanks for the comments.

I didn't explain it very well, but what I meant at the end is I wasn't sure how Candy got from "I want Mom and Dad to live together" that Chava would rather live with Dad. It seemed to me the natural progession from that comment would be that he wants his parents to stay together. That's what didn't make sense in that scene from a continuity viewpoint.

Thanks Hombre, you're right. I added the word selfish to the cap. It's one of those things where I know the context in Spanish but just didn't write in the right English word.

I thought the diaper thing was way over the top too, but they seem to have Pat always over compensating stuff with the boys in the attention department to get in good with them and make them laugh and like him. I think someone here once said he's more like a buddy than a Dad even. I guess you wouldn't blame someone if they missed the first 7 years or whatever of the kids' lives. That would be weird to all of a sudden jump into this role.
 

Fun discussions. It's always a treat to come back and find what you all have said.

The diaper joke is an old one. Santi did it too (with Rocio) and the original was in a movie made in the 70's about a fired Detroit auto engineer having to stay home and care for the children while his wife went to work.

Breast-fed infants don't have smelly diapers. But formula-fed ones do. Another reason to be old-fashioned when you feed your babies; but obviously not possible with an adopted child.
 

What's in Zamora's suitcase? It seemed awfully heavy for such a small bag.
 

Probably something to prove unequivocally to Jaime that he is his little Frijolito.
 

Sven's suitcase: Star Trek trading cards, pocket protectors, rooster shirts, Frank Sinatra CD's,... the list goes on and on.
 

I already have two tickets to the local IMAX opening night showing of J.J. Abrams's STAR TREK. And two tickets for the local IMAX the following night.

I don't have trading cards or figurines. I have a Hallmark Delta Flyer Christmas ornament and the EMH Christmas ornament. And every minute of Star Trek on DVD; but that's it.
 

Ha...Star trek!!

I forgot to add one of the best pics, it's there now...Horty's scream at "The Kiss" :)
 

Thanks, Kris. You always do an awesome job with the pictures. Good and crisp (vs the YouTube screenshots I capture), and you are always able to capture the perfect moment. Santi with the chicken, his face, Rocio's face - priceless!
 

Maybe the suitcase is like the Reyes family trunk on FELS and contains all sort of clues to his past which he's never bothered to look at.
 

Kris, you got some great shots of people howling in laughter. I hope when this show is over that Cristina does a cast show. I'd like to hear them talk about how it was to work together.
