Gancho Friday November 27th. The Momia doesn’t want to be a Mommy-a
Con-ella de Ville has a problem. Now a fully grown bruja, she’s embarrassed to find that she’s embarazada. What’s worse, the fruit of her (shapely) loins has apparently been sown by that brutish (but cute-ish) naco, Beto. She’d like to press delete, or maybe rewind (how about reset), and make her “inconvenient truth” go away, without anyone’s finding out. But that won’t be easy. Why? This is a telenovela. It’s just about impossible to keep a secret in one (let alone have an abortion). The writers are able to pull out all the tricks they want. They can have chance meetings where two characters show up at the same place at the same time. They can have characters conveniently hide behind walls, hearing just the wrong words at the worst possible time. They could have the hospital go on strike. They could put her in a coma, so she won’t be able to remind the doctor of her appointment (okay, I know that last one’s not too likely – we’ve already had two comas). Let’s face it, Connie doesn’t have a chance. But this gives US a chance to enjoy her twisting in the wind. I can’t wait.
At the gym, La Furia Enmascarada (Mau) has done well in his wrestling training. Costeño has been instrumental in this, so of course, he wants a raise. He and Don Cesar go off to discuss it, as The Masked Fury (I’ll just call him Mr. Fury for short) climbs out of the ring. Moni’s waiting there to congratulate him for a job well done. Turns out she really doesn’t recognize him (yet). She notes that they’re both sweaty (sudado), and sees that he’s really out of breath. She asks if he’ll unlace her boxing gloves – she can remove his mask in return. As he silently helps her, she remarks that his eyes remind her of someone. She tells him that people say you can tell a lot from someone’s eyes, and his eyes inspire confidence in her.
She shyly introduces herself – you’ve heard I’m called La Monita, but of course that’s not my name. I’m Valentina Lopez. And what’s your name? Mr. Fury clears his throat a little, doesn’t talk, and Moni guesses he has a sore throat (after first joking “Cat got your tongue?”, which is Te comieron la lengua los ratones?, literally, Did the mice eat your tongue?). And he even beat Beto, despite having that sore throat. Good going. Okay, she’ll help take his mask off now. Don’t think so, as he jumps up to escape, leaving with a little wave, and crashes right into Estrella! Mau falls on top of Estre, and she’s instantly attracted to the blue-clad luchador.
In a restaurant, Momia’s Mom, wacky Jacky, just can’t understand why her hija is staying with Mauricio, who hates her, won’t touch her, and why she has adopted three orphans that she despises. She could understand if Mau were 80 – then she could wait for him to die and get all his money. That’s what SHE’s done in two of her last three marriages, and now she has all the money she needs. She can do as she pleases. Connie reminds her she got nothing from Jean-Claude. Yeah, well he had to go drown on me before I could get him to change the will. But you, Connie, why did you force someone to marry you, when he’s young, strong and hates you? Jacky offers to help. Connie says no thanks, you just complicate things. No, YOU complicated things when you got pregnant by that coarse, primitive man. Jacky says the only thing Connie did right was that prenup. And all she’ll ever get from Mau is his money, if he happens to be unfaithful. Open your eyes, daughter. Put your feet on the ground and accept it.
Back at the gym, Estrella’s on the ground, not minding it one bit, as she wraps her arms around the hombre misterioso (wish it was me), remarking that candy does fall from heaven, and she could stay in this position forever. She starts feeling his arms, his legs, his pompis, thinks he’s a little thin for a wrestler, but what muscles! Mau leaves, saying goodbye in a low voice, and Monita smiles at Estrella’s exuberance. Estre wants to know everything about this guy, he’s hard all over his body (!) and she’s digging it. Moni knows he’s the new wrestler, he beat Beto, but she doesn’t know anything else about him. Estre wants to know everything, when he was on top of her, it was like an electric charge shooting through her body, and now she’s sweating, here, here and here (underarms, neck, back of legs, wants Moni to feel).
Moni thinks she’s beyond help (in a good way).
At Grupo Sermeño, Paula’s back to her old job as cleaning lady. She remarks that at least Gabi’s happy, and we can see that Gabi is. Sal’s back (one would think it’d take him a few days to get better, but didn’t they have that wrestling match this morning? Oh well, beanie time). There were no lasting traces of the poison in his system, he went through detox (desintoxicación) in the hospital, and he was just released. Paula still can’t get over how she’s back to cleaning, when she had jumped into that higher job of receptionist. Gabi opines that maybe Paula didn’t exactly earn that job (I can’t remember how she got it – maybe it was one of Lorenza’s threats), but if Paula will take a course in English, she could get the post legitimately. Paula says she’ll do it, and proudly thrusts out her chest. Good, says Gabi, that’s the attitude I like. Now get rid of that dust, and by the way, we need a few cappuccinos. She spanks Paula’s butt to get her moving.
Jacky continues to advise Connie to forget about Mauricio, but Connie doesn’t want to give up. Jacky thinks Connie’s being arrogant, prideful and capricious, but has lost her dignity and sense of self worth. Then what should I do? asks a tearful (but quite beautiful) Connie. Simple. Make Mau be unfaithful with La Monita, and get your divorce and his money. Never, replies Connie.
Gabi enters Sal’s office, ready to re-ignite their romance. She jokes that she put some toloache powder (a narcotic plant from Mexico) in his coffee to win him back, but he’s not in the mood for jokes. He really suffered from that paranoia, it was so real. Gabi points out it’s all in the past now, he’s fine, and Lorenza’s back in the psycho ward, from which she’ll never get out. She asks if Sal wants to visit Lore, and he doesn’t. But Sal had a lot of time to think about things, and he wants to be alone, without entanglements, for a bit. He still loves Gabi. But he feels completely disoriented (desubicado), and he needs to regain some balance before they resume their relationship. Gabi understands, and when Sal’s ready, she’ll be waiting with open arms.
Connie and Jackie are STILL discussing the same old thing. Get divorced, and get rid of those kids, who are like a noose around your neck (she says costal de piedras, literally, a sack of stones). Travel the world with your lover. Connie thinks that even if Mau lost his money, he’d happily live in the barrio with Moni, baking tortillas and frijoles, and she couldn’t stand that. But it’s just not worth your time (no vale la pena) to worry about that, says Jacky. Connie doesn’t care, she’s not letting go of Mau until that ridiculous love affair of his is over for good.
Oscar’s meeting with Jerry. Apparently Lori got so upset, she was literally bouncing off the walls, sticking out her tongue, so out of touch with reality she didn’t even recognize Oscar. Jerry points out how convenient that is, since Oscar was her accomplice, and he also knows Oscar loves to see people suffer. Yeah, says Oscar, but I’m not stingy (mezquino) – I even paid for her electroshock therapy (how kind of him).
Speaking of craziness, Jerry says he’s going crazy with love for Jacqueline! Oscar (wearing all black btw, black suit, black shirt, black tie) tells Jerry that it’s been scientifically proven that the sensation of love is no different from eating a box of fine chocolates (some of us may agree with this one). But they could use Jacky to get Connie to divorce Mau (and then they’d get the money somehow). Jerry wants out of this part, he really likes Jacky. But Oscar thinks she’d sell her soul to the devil for dinero.
Back in the restaurant, it’s Jacky’s lines, Connie’s lines. After a while of this, Connie demands that Jacky not breathe a word of her pregnancy. Because tomorrow, that nightmare will be over. She leaves.
Beto arrives late to the office, still wearing his misspelled tee-shirt, and Paula reams him out, but it turns out Gabi gave him permission to train first, then come in. Besides, you’re nobody, he tells Pau for the umpteenth time. As she covers her face with a handkerchief to stop the smell, Pau notes that Beto seems to be in a little pain (he is, from the fight). Gabi tells him to get to work on cleaning the floor of the reception area.
Cut to the OB GYN’s office, with a nervous Connie seated between two ladies much farther along in their pregnancies. She watches one woman rub her belly, and thinks back to when a drunk Beto said he loved her.
The doctor will see her now, and guess who it is? Donato, the kind but somewhat bumbling servant from Tontas No Van. She sadly tells him she’s pregnant, and he smiles, why that’s GOOD news. No, she says, it’s an unwanted pregnancy, and I want to terminate it tomorrow.
Beto’s aching from his wrestling match, as he sweeps the trash under the rug. Paula thinks he should apply himself more to this job, the way SHE does. Beto tells Gabi about the new wrestler, he didn’t like the guy, and there was a challenge (reto). At first Beto was dominating, had him eating out of his hand, applied the killing blow, had the guy crying (he’s acting all this out with his broom). So did you win? Well no, I always fight clean, but La Furia hit me in my “partecitas nobles”. Paula knows this is pure bull (jarabe de pico, literally syrup in the beak).
Walking home from the gym, Estrella is complaining about how Katia wouldn’t let her visit Aldo. But’s it’s your own fault, says Moni, and contact with Aldo could cause problems with Mau. Estre corrects her, YOU can’t visit, but with me, it’s a different kettle of fish (harina de otro costal, literally flour from a different sack, and we have the word costal twice in one episode). She’s worried about Aldo, and she’s just dying to see him. But you’re playing with fire, Estrella. And YOU broke up with HIM. Estre can’t get over him, it hurts, he’s so tender, kind….Forget about him, says Moni firmly. Fine, then you have to help me get something started with The Masked Fury. Can’t you even get his phone number? Moni agrees, but then thinks back to the guy’s eyes. It’s crazy, but for a minute, those eyes reminded her of Mauricio.
And here comes Mauricio, tooling along on his Harley, stopping at a red light to rip off the mask and put on the helmet.
He pulls up in front of his mansion (no one’s there at this time), goes inside, and starts stripping off his suit (they cut before we see that famous cuerpo, though).
Estre’s funny. If Moni wants Mr. Fury, she can have first dibs on him. She doesn’t want everyone saying she stole anyone’s novio, the way they always do. For the fifth time, he doesn’t interest me, says Moni. Yeah, but you said his eyes reminded you of Mau. Moni promises to let Estre have Mr. Fury, she loves only Mau, and no one will ever take his place. Okay, you said it (conste) points out Estre.
The kind doctor doesn’t want Connie to make a hasty decision, and has her in the chair, doing an ultrasound. The stated purpose is to find out how far along Connie is, but I think he also wants to show her the baby so she won’t want an abortion. He tells her they can’t do the operation after 12 weeks, it would be illegal. Connie says don’t worry, it’s less than a month. Ah, there he is, look at him, says the doc with a smile. Connie refuses to look, just do what you have to do to get it over with. Turns out she’s six weeks along. Fine, says Connie, let’s do it. The doc tries to dissuade her a little more, says there are papers to fill out, and he’s all booked for the next few days. But Connie begs, and he agrees to move some appointments and do it tomorrow. As he leaves to make arrangements, Connie sits up, tells herself, yes, she’s going to do it (but we know better, right?)
In Moni’s apartment, she’s despondent with longing to see Mau. Every morning she misses him, and every night when she goes to bed, same thing. Estre tries to cheer her up, she’s overcome a lot of adversity in the ring. Right, says Moni, I’ll try to be strong, and I promised him I’d wait for him. Estre wonders if Moni believes what Connie said, that she slept with him. No way, says Moni, I trust Mau. Right, says Estre, giving her a hug. That Momia tells nothing but lies.
Okay, enough of this earnest stuff, it’s Ximena time! Looking sleek as usual in a gray and blue top over tight black jeans and short fringed boots, she breezes into the same doctor’s office as Connie, showing off her wedding ring to the receptionista, Pao. She’s happy she got here for her gynecological appointment on time, it wasn’t easy with Rolu wanting to be with her all the time, he’s so possessive, but of course, she couldn’t bring him here! Pao tells her she has to wait a bit, Doctor Santa Cruz is a bit behind because he’s doing a special favor for a patient. What, is it a delicate matter? No, just a pregnancy, he just finished the ultrasound, but you’ll have to wait because there are two patients ahead of you. Ximmy’s so enchanted with the idea of having a baby, she can just imagine it growing in her belly, and for that reason, as soon as the expectant mother comes out, she’ll congratulate her. Well here she comes now, says Pao, as out walks Connie, and Ximmy is muy impactada. Consti! Consti tries to deny it, but Ximmy is like a force of nature, jumping up and down, screaming with joy, telling the whole office how wonderful it is, giving a mortified Connie a great big hug.
No lo puedo creer (I can’t believe it), stingy Jero has bought Jacky a fur coat, and is smoothing it out, as Oscar voices his displeasure. How’d you pay for it? With my credit card. Oscar feels unloved, Jerry won’t even pay for a soft drink for HIM. Oh, relax, says Jerry. I heard Jacky say she wanted one, and I’m going to surprise her. And you know how she’ll repay me? Like a wild kitten! Oscar looks at the label, this is pretty expensive. Jerry reminds him he’s half owner of the company, his earnings from that should cover it. But Oscar reminds HIM that Oscar gets half of Jerry’s half, Jerry signed a power of attorney, and he’s going to have to repay Oscar. Jerry promises he will, he’s just a little dry right now. Well, cold and dry is what you’ll be if you go against me, threatens Oscar. Jerry gulps.
Mr. Fury is back to his secret identity as meek, mild, Mau and sits down in his office to work. Sal enters, and neither wants to talk about personal matters, so they start to talk business when in walks Beto without knocking, pushing his cleaning cart. Mau remarks that Beto seems to be in pain, and Beto answers that you know how those minibuses (peseros) are, well one of those morons (cafres) crashed into me, that’s the reason. Paula comes in, yells at Beto for coming into Mau’s office, but Mau defends him, he had an accident. Sure, says Pau, more likely some luchador gave him a beating (una paliza). Ahah, jokes Mau, rather than a fall with the bus, you took a fall on the canvas (lona). Well, that fighter must have been pretty good, no? No way, says Beto, I showed that wall lizard (lagartija) who was boss. Mau doesn’t know, he smilingly observes that Beto looks pretty beaten up, why not take the rest of the day off, and his Mommy can rub some ointment (pomada) on him. Well thanks, Boss, but I think I’ll have La Monita spread (untar) that ointment on me. She’s REALLY GOOD at it, spreading here, spreading there, as Paula tells him to shut up, pushes him out the door, and Mau’s smile turns into a scowl.
After the commercial, it’s time for some intergenerational loving. Jacky enters Jerry’s office, and they greet each other with a kiss. He surprises her with the fur coat, and it’s just the one she wanted. Put it on me (ponmelo) she requests, and he does, she running her fingers through the plushness. They start to make out, but are rudely interrupted by Oscar, saying he and Jerry are worried about Connie, right Jerry? Jerry? Oh, yeah, sure, he says as he continues to paw Jacky.
Oscar asks what was up with the fainting, what did the doctor say? Oh, it was nothing, and she already feels much better. Well then, did you raise the topic of divorce with your daughter? Sure, but she’s stubborn. Jerry wonders why they don’t just tell Mau that his wife was doing the nasty with that lowlife. Oscar doesn’t think that’ll change anything, and Jacky agrees. But leave the matter to her, she has the weapons to control her daughter.
Said daughter is begging her amiga Xime please don’t say anything. Do it for our friendship. Or because of your threats, points out Xime. That too, says Connie, you know what I’m capable of. Fine, says Xime, I’ll stay mum, if nothing more than I feel sorry for that face you have of a doggie that was run over. Just for the doggie, nothing more, okay? Connie’s grateful, this takes a big weight off me, and Ximmy lowers her voice. Listen, girlfriend, since Rolu can’t hear, can I tell you three things? Whatever you want, three, twenty, bring it on. Okay, one, that big weight’s not coming off you, because of what’s in your belly now; two, you’re going to get bigger and bigger, and three, I’m super disappointed in you, poor Mau doesn’t deserve this. By the way, how many weeks are you along? Six. Well, are you sure it’ll be a little Fantasma Vengador, or were you with anyone else? Because I know how insatiable you are. No, of course I wasn’t with anyone else, says Connie. Rolu yells for Ximmy, who goes off to see what the bundle wants, and Connie thinks back. Her eyes grow large with a frightening realization as she says to herself, “Jerónimo”.
In the coffee room, Beto is being his usual gross self as Jacky enters, sporting her new fur, and greets him. She wants to know one thing. Is her daughter just a fling for him, or does he really care about her? She’s asking because she’s sure her daughter is hopelessly in love with Beto. Well then why did she marry that doll-hair guy? We can’t change the past, but we can solve the future, replies Jacky, and if you love her, I want you to help me get her out of that useless marriage. But I don’t have any money, and you know that’s what she truly values. True, says Jacky, you’re a piece of trash, maybe I’m wasting my time with you. She starts to walk out, turns, lifts a finger and says “Oh, by the way, Roberto. Constanza is expecting your child”. Boom! the episode ends.
Previews: Beto tells Connie he knows, Estrella primps for the “new guy”, and Jacky tells Beto that Connie’s going to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy. Only you, Beto, can stop her!

Looking sleek as usual in a gray and blue top over tight black jeans and short fringed boots, she breezes into the same doctor’s office as Connie, showing off her wedding ring to the receptionista, Pao. She’s happy she got here for her gynecological appointment on time, it wasn’t easy with Rolu wanting to be with her all the time, he’s so possessive, but of course, she couldn’t bring him here! Pao tells her she has to wait a bit, Doctor Santa Cruz is a bit behind because he’s doing a special favor for a patient. What, is it a delicate matter? No, just a pregnancy, he just finished the ultrasound, but you’ll have to wait because there are two patients ahead of you. Ximmy’s so enchanted with the idea of having a baby, she can just imagine it growing in her belly, and for that reason, as soon as the expectant mother comes out, she’ll congratulate her. Well here she comes now, says Pao, as out walks Connie, and Ximmy is muy impactada. Consti! Consti tries to deny it, but Ximmy is like a force of nature, jumping up and down, screaming with joy, telling the whole office how wonderful it is, giving a mortified Connie a great big hug.
No lo puedo creer (I can’t believe it), stingy Jero has bought Jacky a fur coat, and is smoothing it out, as Oscar voices his displeasure. How’d you pay for it? With my credit card. Oscar feels unloved, Jerry won’t even pay for a soft drink for HIM. Oh, relax, says Jerry. I heard Jacky say she wanted one, and I’m going to surprise her. And you know how she’ll repay me? Like a wild kitten! Oscar looks at the label, this is pretty expensive. Jerry reminds him he’s half owner of the company, his earnings from that should cover it. But Oscar reminds HIM that Oscar gets half of Jerry’s half, Jerry signed a power of attorney, and he’s going to have to repay Oscar. Jerry promises he will, he’s just a little dry right now. Well, cold and dry is what you’ll be if you go against me, threatens Oscar. Jerry gulps.
Mr. Fury is back to his secret identity as meek, mild, Mau and sits down in his office to work. Sal enters, and neither wants to talk about personal matters, so they start to talk business when in walks Beto without knocking, pushing his cleaning cart. Mau remarks that Beto seems to be in pain, and Beto answers that you know how those minibuses (peseros) are, well one of those morons (cafres) crashed into me, that’s the reason. Paula comes in, yells at Beto for coming into Mau’s office, but Mau defends him, he had an accident. Sure, says Pau, more likely some luchador gave him a beating (una paliza). Ahah, jokes Mau, rather than a fall with the bus, you took a fall on the canvas (lona). Well, that fighter must have been pretty good, no? No way, says Beto, I showed that wall lizard (lagartija) who was boss. Mau doesn’t know, he smilingly observes that Beto looks pretty beaten up, why not take the rest of the day off, and his Mommy can rub some ointment (pomada) on him. Well thanks, Boss, but I think I’ll have La Monita spread (untar) that ointment on me. She’s REALLY GOOD at it, spreading here, spreading there, as Paula tells him to shut up, pushes him out the door, and Mau’s smile turns into a scowl.
After the commercial, it’s time for some intergenerational loving. Jacky enters Jerry’s office, and they greet each other with a kiss. He surprises her with the fur coat, and it’s just the one she wanted. Put it on me (ponmelo) she requests, and he does, she running her fingers through the plushness. They start to make out, but are rudely interrupted by Oscar, saying he and Jerry are worried about Connie, right Jerry? Jerry? Oh, yeah, sure, he says as he continues to paw Jacky.
Oscar asks what was up with the fainting, what did the doctor say? Oh, it was nothing, and she already feels much better. Well then, did you raise the topic of divorce with your daughter? Sure, but she’s stubborn. Jerry wonders why they don’t just tell Mau that his wife was doing the nasty with that lowlife. Oscar doesn’t think that’ll change anything, and Jacky agrees. But leave the matter to her, she has the weapons to control her daughter.
Said daughter is begging her amiga Xime please don’t say anything. Do it for our friendship. Or because of your threats, points out Xime. That too, says Connie, you know what I’m capable of. Fine, says Xime, I’ll stay mum, if nothing more than I feel sorry for that face you have of a doggie that was run over. Just for the doggie, nothing more, okay? Connie’s grateful, this takes a big weight off me, and Ximmy lowers her voice. Listen, girlfriend, since Rolu can’t hear, can I tell you three things? Whatever you want, three, twenty, bring it on. Okay, one, that big weight’s not coming off you, because of what’s in your belly now; two, you’re going to get bigger and bigger, and three, I’m super disappointed in you, poor Mau doesn’t deserve this. By the way, how many weeks are you along? Six. Well, are you sure it’ll be a little Fantasma Vengador, or were you with anyone else? Because I know how insatiable you are. No, of course I wasn’t with anyone else, says Connie. Rolu yells for Ximmy, who goes off to see what the bundle wants, and Connie thinks back. Her eyes grow large with a frightening realization as she says to herself, “Jerónimo”.
In the coffee room, Beto is being his usual gross self as Jacky enters, sporting her new fur, and greets him. She wants to know one thing. Is her daughter just a fling for him, or does he really care about her? She’s asking because she’s sure her daughter is hopelessly in love with Beto. Well then why did she marry that doll-hair guy? We can’t change the past, but we can solve the future, replies Jacky, and if you love her, I want you to help me get her out of that useless marriage. But I don’t have any money, and you know that’s what she truly values. True, says Jacky, you’re a piece of trash, maybe I’m wasting my time with you. She starts to walk out, turns, lifts a finger and says “Oh, by the way, Roberto. Constanza is expecting your child”. Boom! the episode ends.
Previews: Beto tells Connie he knows, Estrella primps for the “new guy”, and Jacky tells Beto that Connie’s going to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy. Only you, Beto, can stop her!

Thanks Hombre...well done and with lots of funny speculation and personal responses. So you want to land flat-dab on Estrella, d'ya?
I missed a number of those great expressions you translated so I especially thank you for that.
However the word you taught me last week or so, "chimuela" (toothless) jumped out at me. I think Estrella, gushing about Mr. Mask, said "Tanta carne y yo chimuela!". Sounds like she's going to give it the old college try anyway.
Laisha did a good job of conveying Connie's mixed feelings about the baby, Beto, and the abortion. The character may be headed for eventual redemption, but it still seems to be a long way off.
Enjoy your weekend Hombre. I'm going to write down that new vocabulary and do my best to retain it.

Hombre, once again a pearl of writing. I love the way you enumerated all the ways the writers have to thwart Coni's decision to abort. Her Dr. certainly is not enthusiastic about her rush and now tha Ximena knows, well...
I loved Ximena's take on the ultrasound, "how exciting to be able to see for the first time the little being growing inside like a little shrimp (cameroncito)," is too precious.
Judy, "¡Tanta carne y yo chimuela!" is great. I wonder if we here in Texas get our affinity for colorful hyperbole from having been part of Mexico for so long.
The Dr. said that Coni is six weeks along. Does that favor Beto's chances? Wasn't she with both Beto and Jero on her wedding day? That would open up a rare (almost unthinkable) possibility, but I believe the Dr. saw only one little shrimp.
Thanks again, Homre, superb job.

oh my...I have heard of cases where a woman gave birth to "twins" of two different fathers. Man, who has time!? Have to admire these gals who stay "on task" so devotedly.
Brilliant and fun, HdM.
Did Mauricio go back to his mansion in the Masked Fury suit? I thought the place looked different, like he had bought or rented a whole separate pad for his alter ego. It had a whole closet of luchador suits, which I don't think he'd risk having at home if he wants to keep the fighting a secret.
Once again Ximena seems to have saved the day. I suspect it's a rare person who can be quite that perky about a gynecologist appointment.

Julia, maybe he has like a bat cave. An alternative mantis manse if you will. He certainly was inconspicuous riding along on his hog in his beneficial insect regalia, though I've seen a few Mexican movies that would suggest the sight of an enmascarado is not all that uncommon.
Julia, imagine Ximena playing Marie Antoinette.

Judy and Carlos, thanks for pointing out the "chimuela" and "camaroncito" lines, which were very funny. These writers throw in so many great lines, it's hard to know what to include.
Julia, it's quite possible Mau has a separate house or apartment for his luchador outfits, I never considered that. Given that he has to do this every day, Don Cesar knows, Moni sort of recognizes his eyes, and as Carlos pointed out, he's a bit conspicuous on that bike, his secret may not last too long.

Hombre, you are exactly right. The lines in this show are almost all golden and it is a daunting task to select. This afternoon, I started working off and on on Mon's recap. If I were to include all the great lines, I would finish sometime Wed afternoon. I look to you guys to fill in the blanks.
Perhaps I'm hopelessly biased, but I think this is one off the best (dare I say it?) sitcoms... ever. Ximena is absolutely in a class by herself. She is a comedic genius. This would have been great as a weekly thirty min. show. An hour daily? I'm awestruck.

Ditto what you guys said. There are soooo many great lines. And different ones will pop out at us on any given night. I can't scrawl notes fast enough to get every one, even if I had the will and desire to include them all in the recap. But I love it when you all share things that struck you...that maybe I left out. That just makes the experience richer.
I can well understand anyone wanting to tumble headlong onto Estrella.
Valentina is fresh and innocent
Ximena is exotic and minkish
Constanza is boiling cool and snakelike
Paula is prim and pretty
Lorenza is crazy and poisonous
Gariella is elegant and efficient
Jacky is experienced and confident
Luisa and Katia are way too young
but....
Estrella is....
So danged...
Estrellosa...
and her breath smells like Juicy Fruit gum

Hola Hombre and others! Hombre, this was very clever right at the get go...embarrased to be embarazada (you and your false friends), brutish but cute-ish, inconvenient truth, etc.
This show has hit full steam ahead once again. They didn't make us wait at all to introduce Jero as a possible daddy and Jacqui spilled the beans to Beto right after she found out about Coni's pregnancy.
Yes, Lorenza basically forced Paula's promotion. I recall she was kind of a bull in a china shop at first, but she seems to be doing fine now, seems a shame to demote her.
Donato! It was great to see him. However, he really should hire a less gabby receptionist. Can you imagine a real medical receptionist blabbing about one patient to another, no matter what the circumstances?
I agree with y'all about the difficulty of trying to select which lines to translate. This one has so much amazing dialogue it seems a shame to leave any out, but since we all have busy lives it's impossible to translate it all. Thank goodness we feel free to include our personal favorites in our comments if they managed to elude the recapper.
Carlos, I like your brief critique of the lovely ladies, it was very eloquently done. They are all special in their way which is a testimonial to the excellent characterization of this show. You forgot Nieves, what's your take on her?
Thanks Hombre!

Good point, Sylvia. Nieves has abundant charms and a certain feline flirtatiousness. And she's already bedded 3 galanes that we've seen, and then there's that mystery about Costeño(and Beto's real father).
How about using your wit and wisdom to do an equal opportunity lineup of the menfolk?

Sylvia, Gee, how could I have overlooked Nieves? Judy is right, so
Nieves is a kittenish coquette.

Then there's Teresa, a minor character to be sure....
Teresa: hardworking, faithful, noble, loving, and probably the only person on this sitcom with a lick of sense. (well, Salvador when he's off the Loco juice.)
Loved the recap, HdM.

Heck, I left out Terri, Alicia, and Isabela. I'm not sure that any one of them would be happy to be included in my little list, however. I was mainly attempting to point out the palpable special hembracity that Estrella exudes. She has an almost primal appeal that shouts out to anyone with with even a speck of testosterone circulating in his veins. All the others, including Terri, Alicia and even Isabela are very attractive women. Estrella, however is intoxicating.
Carlos
Carlos
My favorite thing about Estrella is that she absolutely wears her heart on her sleeve. She doesn't hide who she is and she refuses to change her style even though people give her a hard time about it. She knows what people say about her but remains true to herself. She doesn't take the easy road, she takes HER road. She is faithful to her friends although she might accidentally step on their toes sometimes. She is super smart but chooses not to come across that way. I can understand how men are attracted to her, all the above not to mention her vivacity and beauty.
Well, I was just a little jealous of Mau (or the actor playing him) that he had Estrella wrapping her arms around him, even checking out his pompis a little. Come to think of it, they just had Xime checking out Lalu's pompis the other day. Of course the men would never be able to do that to the ladies (although I'm wouldn't complaining). Come to think of it, though, we do have Beto licking ladies' necks, which may be the corresponding form of just barely pardonable abuse. In real life, none of this would be okay, but once again, we get the guilty pleasure of watching it.
Hi, everyone. I'm just back from a nice visit to our daughter and son-in-law in Toronto for Thanksgiving. Now, I have to try to catch up on several episodes. [We left Wednesday morning.] Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday counting his/her blessings. You all are on my list. xo

Hey Susanlynn. Glad you made it back safe and sound. You are on our list also. Your comments are always a hoot. And we sure need laughter in these tough times. Thank goodness for Gancho and our blogger/commenters. Keeps us all smiling.
What a wonderful treat. Returning to work to read Sylvia and Hombre's stellar recaps. Everyone is continuing to set the bar (of excellence) higher daily.
One of the pitfalls about being unable to comment until Monday is that everything already has been said, and always so much more eloquently than I. So, I will just say gracias to both of you. Your recaps were simply wonderful and very much appreciated.
The baby changes everything. Is it wrong to hope for a Beto/Coni union? I know what she's done is unforgiveable but...

Diana, thank you for your kind words. You are always eloquent. I am also hoping for some sort of happy ending for Coni and Beto. They were made for each other. She has behaved abominably but perhaps he can redeem her? Maybe they can redeem each other.
Diana, Susanlynn, I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's good to hear from you this morning. I'm one of those pulling for Beto and Coni. I think there is hope for Coni's redemption. After all, she hasn't killed anyone...yet. I think this pregnancy will ultimately change her personality for the better.

Carlos
Thank you Hombre for the great recap and captures. I love the first with Estrella and Furia Enmascarada, her expression is fantastic.
Carlos I love all your descriptions for the women of this show. It could work as a sitcom, but it would be neverending! I don't think Coni was with Jero on her wedding day, she only was with him once before when she made that offer to Jero.
I must confess that I already watched today's episode since I won't have time in the afternoon. I really like this part of the plot, we are getting to the episodes and that are more fresh in my mind so there's some scenes that I found hilarious and I can't wait for the opinions and the take on them by the recappers.

I think Connie's only been with Jerry twice. The first time was when he had that videotape of her kissing Beto, and blackmailed her (the tape was later erased). I'm pretty sure that was before Moni's coma, so it was more than 6 months ago. The second was the day Moni came out of the coma, Connie had to "reward" Jerry for killing Moni. And has that been six weeks ago? Seems more recent.
As for Beto, I think Connie was with him many times, beginning before Moni's coma, and the last time was the wedding day, which was (I think) just a few days after Moni came out of the coma.
Anyway, both of these last encounters were pretty close in time, so if 6 weeks have passed, she may not be able to figure out who it was.
Of course, I could be wrong about all of this. It's so hard to keep it all straight. Maybe we should have been keeping a timeline.

Hombre, ya know, if our friend Paula H. was following this one, she'd know who did whom and when! That woman could teach Oracle Corp a thing or two about databases.
Carlos, "hembracity" eludes me, but I do concur with the theme of your comment about Estrella! My son could do much worse than to find an Estrella.
Coni will have to work her scrawny li'l bum off if she wants anything resembling redemption after her treatment of Aldo, Luisa, and Danny.
Hobre, thanks for another great recap! Nice to "see" everyone after the Thanksgiving weekend.

Mike, please excuse me, I was playing fast and loose with two languages. Hembra is of course a Spanish word for female or feminine, so I borrowed it and added an English suffix and... I think Ximena has been having her own linguistic corrupting effect on me. I wasn't content misusing one language so I added a second to abuse in the Autumn of my life.

I love your terms Carlos. Hey, completely OT here but I was thinking on your trip to Isla Mujeres and may I make a suggestion? There's a natural park close by called Xcaret and it's very fun, you can do alot of things like snorkel, swim in a subterranean river, watch doplhins shows, etc. and they have a show at morning and night where they have music and dancing numbers from every state of México, as well as a representation of how were the mayans in the past. It's very fun, I love it, so if you can save a day to go there I think you and the lovely Linda would enjoy it.
