Gancho #68 Thurs 9/24 - Jero gets the sack, Ximena gets to act, check out Rolu's back
Redux: Moni makes the call and finds out her ma's friend lives in Moroleón, Guanajuato. (Thanks to Kris we know where that is.) Her ma was born there!
Over at the barrio Nieves calls coast clear but Beto and Coni delay a little too long in their farewell and are caught by Moni and Estre, then Mau. There is lots of begging, arguing and finger pointing. Coni doesn't think Mau should yell at her in front of THAT! (Moni). Mau tells Coni to shut up, he and Moni have never ended up in bed unlike Coni and...(looks at Beto, Beto gasps, fist in mouth, busted)...and Jeronimo! Beto double gasps, Estre and Moni are impactada.
Ximena drags a drunk Rolu ("kiss me kiss me") into a shady-looking tattoo parlor and tells Mr. Tattoo Face they want matching tattoos because obvio they are in love. She wants a tasteful "cora" (corazón) on her shoulder and Rolu wants an ENORMOUS one on his back with her name. No way would a reputable tattoo artist ink up a drunk, but Xime and money talk.
Beto complains to Mami that all his old ladies have betrayed him. He tries to hang himself on her beaded curtain. Nieves calls Coni "Flauta" and points out he's doing the same thing to Moni. The flauta is too far above him, she says. He whines about his ma also sleeping around with strangers. She scolds him and says they weren't strangers, she was Hilario's girlfriend in her youth, his shrink was also like Beto's dad (?) and Costeño Morales...Beto gasps and eats his fist again. Nieves backpedals, no no no Costeño wants to talk to him. Nieves tells him (again) to try to get back together with Moni. He says no, her eyes light up too much when she sees Mau, he just wants to go hang out with his buds. He heads off to see Costeño.
Moni asks Estre does she think there might be something between Beto and Coni? Nah! But the hint of suspicion is in Moni's head and we know it will only grow as such things do.
Moni says the only thing she wants to do right now is go to Moroleón to find her mother's friend and tomorrow she's going to try to find her. She wants to go alone.
Mau tells Coni he wants to cancel the wedding because according to his cousin, Jero spent the best night of his life with her. Coni cries and denies it, Jero lied to him. She doesn't know how to tell Mau this because Jero is his cousin BUT for a long time Jero has been pursuing her, haunting her, and she's tired of it. She demands they confront him face to face.
Xime and Rolu stumble home entangled with each other. He thinks he's a cowboy. Xime has three little questions. 1) You're never going to hurt me again? 2) We're going to be together forever? 3) We're going to get married? He says Yes, Yes, and Hell yes! He has two little questions...1) Will we go, 2) To bed? Like Topo Gigio she squeals. He carries her off to bed.
Mau tells Coni they'll reconvene tomorrow; he leaves in a huff and Coni mutters to an invisible Jero, You'll regret this! She calls Oscar.
Good morning! Oh my, someone's in bed and it's Xime and Rolu. She peeks under the sheet to check out his hardware. He groans what in the hell did he do? He rudely tells Xime she's the result of the worst drunk of his life and she's the last person he'd want to see in the morning. Oh wait, there's the tattoo! (No way would he not feel it it.) She shows him her tiny tattoo and happily suggests he check his own out. It's perma...nente! He insults her some more and he can't leave fast enough but Xime's smug, he'll be back.
Over at Grupo Sermeño Sal forces Jero to take the hot seat in front of Mau. Even Oski turns on him saying he believed Jero's lies. Coni slaps Jero. Twice. She tearfully defends herself until Mau believes her. Mau kicks Jero out of the company and nobody is happier than Salvador. Jero tries to defend himself, but "Out of my sight!" commands Mau.
Moni comes in and overhears Mau telling Coni that yes they are still going to get married in a month.
Xime goes to Estre for sympathy but she is diverted by the lovely color of Estre's nails. Back on track Xime says her problem is with Rolu. Estre keeps trying to escape, she has a casting and her only choice is to drag Xime along with her. Estrella's shapely tush hits all the points of the compass on her way out.
At GS Moni tells Pau her plan to find ma's friend Rosalio Morales. Mau shows up and comments he heard she's takaing the day off for personal problems, is he the reason? She says no it has nothing to do with him. He refuses to give her permission to leave. Fine, she'll quit, she says. Great eye roll from Mr. Doll Hair.
Oski and Coni are at lunch. They giggle at Jero having to leave GS and shooting daggers at them on his way out (making eyes lika a Chinaman is how Oski put it). She's a little nervous about Jero exacting vengeance, but she assures Oski that nothing and nobody will come between her and Mau. Can she be sure Oski's not playing her? He used to be so close to Jero. Oski says that idiot is a wimp (pelele) compared to her. Besides, with his help she can achieve whatever she sets her mind to. She'll get rid of the brats and marry Mau, "But if you betray me, if you do not share with me the benefits of the fortune of your future husband, you will sink so far into the mud that not even a miracle will save you."
Mau summons Pau to ask her what's up with Monita. Pau says she's sick, sick in the head because she's got it in her head to go find her mama. Mau rushes out and Pau congratulates herself.
Mau ends up in the same elevator with Jero who tries to suck up to his cuz and takes one last stab at accusing Coni. Mau says starting today Jero is nobody.
Estre and Xime are in the casting office and it sounds like they've already tried out. Xime says she was inspired by María Félix.
The directors enter and spy Xime reading her magazine upside down. "You've got the part!" the director says. Estre jumps up, thinking it's her. "Sorry about the confusion, I'm referrring to her" he says, looking at Xime. He tells Xime she was stupendous. Happy happy joy joy, Estre not so much.
Coni finds Beto eating cookies, he calls her traitor. How dare she have an affair with Jero, he's her lover. She complains about what Jero did to her. "What, showed you Kama Sutra?" She tells him Jero was filming them in the hotel, when Beto left he came out of the closet and then he extorted her, then he raped her. Beto crumbles his cookie and says he'll kill him with his own hands. He comforts our Coni who gives a sly little look.
Moni is packing her bag when Mau shows up to surprise her. He explains she's Beto's girl and he's engaged to Coni but she's still the most important thing in his life and he wants to help. Their romantic music plays, she agrees to let him drive her and even carry her bag out.
Director is kissing Xime's hands, he's gonna make her a star. Estre is pissed, SHE'S the actress! Director whispers to the producer and tells Xime they are off to their first location. Estre wants to see the script. Director tells Xime to get rid of the redhead, she's a distraction. Estre tells Xime she smells something funny about that guy. She doesn't trust him. Xime says three things: 1) if you smell funny see the doc, 2) consumate actresses don't mix with extras (ouch!), and 3) I'll ask you to dress in red against envy, mala amiga! (I didn't get this last one, sorry.)
Mau and Moni are careening happily through the countryside, trees on either side and anvils overhead. Oh no, suddenly his brakes have stopped working. (Try your hand brake you idiot!!!!) There is a truck blocking the road up ahead! He tells her to get ready to jump. I love you I love you! I love you too! One , two, uh oh the big truck, three!
Amazing, they jumped from a speeding car and don't even have torn clothing or messed up hair. They are limping a little to add a touch of reality. They hobble over to the edge of the cliff just as a random M-80 explodes. Oh, I guess it was supposed to be Mau's car exploding. "That could have been us!"
Interesting, after the initial explosion there is no smoke or flames. Whatever. They have to continue the journey on foot.
Jero is enjoying a brandy and talking on the phone to someone named Tomás. Good work, he says, you'll have your money this weekend. "Ah cousin, that's what you get for trying to get rid of me." he snickers into his brandy.
Over at the gym Beto rallies his fellow luchadors to come to his aid, somebody abused his one of his viejas! They have to break the bones of Jeronimo Sermeno! Costeño says count on them, the boys love nothing more than a group fight.
Back at GS Gabi is looking for Beto and Sal is looking for Mau. "They are both missing, hmmmm...everyone is looking for someone in their life Salvador," she muses.
Phone rings and she is impactada, the police ask for Sal. What??? An accident? Mau drove into a ravine!!
Cut to our carless cuties trying to flag down autos by the side of the road. Mau's up first and almost gets hit. A La "It happened one night" it's Moni's turn. (The youtube link is a few minutes but worth it.) The truck stops immediately and Moni hops in up front while Mau leaps in the back. My, he's very nimble.
Don't forget everyone, you may purchase your Obama, Washington, Lincoln, and Statue of Liberty (with lighted torch) Chia heads at the CVS pharmacy!
The faux Director and Producer take Xime to a street, she wonders where are all the cameras? He says it's cinema verdad so cams not needed. She says oh right, the cams are hidden. But where are the other actors? Also all hidden. He explains it is a police drama and in this first scene she'll walk up the street and do NOT look at the cams. She logically points out how can she not look at them when she doesn't know where they are? When he says action she starts, when he says cut she stops, and whatever happens she must remain calm. She gives it a trial run, looks around, looks ridiculous, pretends to have a gun, and then runs back. She's a natural! Next up is the assault scene and they are off to the next location. Producer whispers to the director she's a complete idiot, it's incredible, she believes everything. They can't wait to get to the robbery scene, bwahahahah.
Moroleón, Guanajuato - Mau and Moni walk along a serene and lovely alley with flowers, trees, and colorful stuccoed walls. They approach a residence, it's the one. Moni is very nervous, she takes a deep breath and rings the bell.
A woman I recognize answers the door. (Was she one of Don Torbi's girlfriends from QE?) She recognzies Moni, "No puede ser. You look just like your ma, you're Valentina, right?"
Tomorrow - Aldo finds Estre in bed with someone else. Moni's ma comes to her in a dream. Everyone is impactada because they think Mau and Moni are dead. Mau and Moni almost kiss. Again.

Oh no you didn't!!! I think I will have to go out and get the Chia head. I couldnt believe it when I saw it yesterday. Has one arrived when they make a chia head out of you? My goal I guess then.
I didn't see this episode yet but your photos and images of anvils hovering over speeding cars were very clear...I HAVE to see the tatoos though. I think I did tape this one.
Nice job amiga!

Good grief Sylvia! Tons of pictures, link to that great old film and my fave phrase which I've been hoping you'd find a way to use again...Estrella's tush "hitting all four points of the compass". Bring to mind that other sassy redhead in Querida Enemiga. Don't think Estrella will end up with the nuns, but who knows?
Most enjoyable recap, amiga, and thanks for the vocab. New juicy stuff in this one and, as always, lots of action. Look forward to watching my tape sometime today.

PS Enjoyed the video clip. If you ever saw Two for the Road, there's a similar scene in it....where Audrey Hepburn gets the lift after her pompous male companion fails to do so.
Two for the Road, oh gosh I haven't thought about that movie in ages! So sixties, so hip, so Hepburn in cool clothes.
Well you know those chia heads pop up every year before Christmas. Ch Ch Ch Chia!

Sylvia, thanks for this vivid recap of this hilarious episode. If it were possible to die from laughing you guys would be looking for a new recapper for Mondays. Your recount turned my tickle-box over again this morning. I can't remember when I laughed this hard. The Rolu/Ximy scenes were just too much. Who among us hasn't awakened at one time or another to discover oneself in bed with an ex with a fresh giant tattoo of a heart framing the name of said ex? The whole thing was riotously funny to me. And something smells bad? See the doc. Some of my most memorable patient encounters have begun just so. Judy and Kris, whatever you do, do not miss watching this episode.

Sylvia, thanks for a super funny recap. As usual, you also had great photos and links.
I think Ximena's third thing to Estre was just that being red with envy makes one a bad friend, but I'm not sure.
I also thought it was funny Mau and Moni could jump out of that speeding car. Also, doesn't Mau keep his cell in his pocket. It should still be there, and he could call, but I guess that's too plot aversive.
Coni and Beto have more lives than a cat. They've almost been caught quite a few times. And this latest time, Mau forgot about questioning why Coni was there, having still fixated on Jero. One day, though. Of course, you're right, Moni will probably find out first, and Mau wouldn't believe her, thinking she's just trying to bad mouth her rival.

Great recap Sylvia, due to traffic I am never home in time to watch this show. All the characters make me laugh even Oscar. Jeranimo is a jerk and a stupid one at that. Didn't Mau change his will and leave everything to the kids? So how is he going to benefit from his death? Our Coni is turing out to be a real ????
So far she has done the nasty with Mau,Rolu,Beto, and Jeri, maybe Oscar is next. That is probably what happens when you own an intimate apparel shop.

Sylvia and Hombre, I thought that she said that she was wanting to be dressed in red en contra de Estella's envy, but I wasn't paying real close attention. Doesn't make any more sense than the other ways, however.
For a sample of Maria Felix' acting check this out. Wow!:

Great recap Sylvia! Izt was great and I loved your pictures, especially the one of Maria Felix.
Now that Chia head, hahaha. What is it? Is it for gardening or something? I don't get it.
When Ximena mentioned Topo Gigio it reminded me of my childhood. While channel 2 is for novelas, channel 5 was for kids. They had a great lineup where a guy called Tío Gamboín and his cat GC presented every show or cartoon. At 8:30 pm the last show was Topo Gigio's and he always sang at the end about being time to go to bed. Then, Tío Gamboín would say goodnight and La Familia Telerín would be the final signal that it was time for kids to go to sleep because movies and tv shows for adults would start. This was on during the 80's up to mid 90's.
Poor Rolu, but now he will always remember our Ximena. Isn't that great? haha.
Coni never slept with Rolu, they had a drunken kiss that he suggested to make Mauricio jealous.
Jarocha.

Thanks for the recap Sylvia. So glad you saw the homage to It Happened One Night. It made me chuckle and you are right Mau is very nimble.
Well the good thing I can say about Rolu is I really enjoy him drunk. As Julia mentioned yesterday, he was too funny falling over when Mau left him to talk to Moni. And his other antics while drunk were endearing.
Though most of the violence has been cartoon, I'm starting to get concerned. While Jerry is completely incompetent (at everything), Oscar has a little bit more on the ball. Connie should really watch him b/c he would be a very dangerous enemy.

Wow...glad my tape recorded. Very impressed with how nimbly Mauricio scrambled out of the way of the car. Good physical humor as was Rolu's drunken staggers.
And as always, Beto's mangling of the language is so endearing. Loved it when he asked Connie if Jerry made her try some new position of the "Trama" Sutra. Gotta love the guy...he circles the right airport but never quite manages to land.

About dressing herself in red against envy, that's because of supersticious beliefs. Sometimes when someone is very envious about something you have or do it is believed that he or she is sending you bad vibes when looking at you, this is called "el mal del ojo". One of the ways to counteract this is wearing a red garment. For pregnant women, it is usual to wear a red ribbon on their bellies to protect their unborn child of "el mal del ojo", even in our times.
Judy I din't catch that you are right. By the way, sorry for not answering you yesterday I had to take my dog on an emergency to the vet. I hope you get to eat food from Veracruz, you'll love it.

How about that tattoo parlor. Did it not have Casa de Hepatitis written all over it? Every time I think about poor Rolu today, I start laughing. Looking forward to the unfolding of the pelicula policíaca, or is that policía acá?

If that was a real tattoo, wouldn't it really hurt? Of course Rolu is suffering so much from cruda maybe he wouldn't notice the additional pain. Ximena's optimism regarding Rolu is really something to behold.
Indeed...we love our pets on this line and our little Kizzie is due for a....guess what?....dental checkup. I swear we don't eat the same stuff but she has problems just like I do. Good wishes and prayers for your pup, Jarocha. Emergencies are always scary,whether for children or pets....or spouses!
OK, late responses to you all...
Yes we are animal lovers!
Carlos, awesome link to Maria Felix! What a woman.
Hanna, thank you so much for dropping in and commenting. Very good point about Mau leaving everything to the kids. I'll bet Coni thinks she can change that. By the way, I thought she had money too, so why is everyone counting on her getting Mau's fortune? Maybe he just has a lot more, eh?
Jarocha, chia sprouts were a phenomenon that started in the 70's I think. It was part of a health food craze where you could grow your own healthy sprouts (for salads and sandwiches) at home without soil. You soaked the chia seeds and then spread them on a terra cotta form. You added water to the form and in a few days the sprouts would be ready to snip off. Then they started making the forms in the shaped of animals, heads, etc. The funny thing is that the commercials start every year in October so that people can buy them as Christmas presents. I guess they are starting early this year.
Thanks everyone for the feedback on wearing red. It makes total sense they way Jarocha explains it. I just couldn't figure it out last night. Also thanks for the bit on Topo Gigio. I only remember him from the Ed Sullivan show where he would kiss "Eddie" goodnight every night before bed.
And yes, Rolu would definitely feel a big tattoo like that on his back. I know because I have a tattoo of a hula girl playing the ukulele on my back. There is no way he would not know it's there. Plus he would probably have a big bandage on it. But hey, this is a telenovela so we can take liberties.

OK Sylvia, now you're going to have to post a photo of your hula girl, and I'll bet there is a story to go with her. Looking forward to seeing more of you, so to speak.
