Gancho - Wed Nov 18 - I do, but I love you and don't
So the bride of Frankenstein shows up late to the party, but darn if she doesn’t still show, disheveled and all. She claims she was robbed or something. The audience is not convinced, and Xime is freaked about Lalo being on the ground. Mau offers to postpone things but Con will have none of that.
Ivan chews out Aldo, knowing he’s drugged up. Aldo on his juiced muscles punches out Ivan. Yikes.
Rolu encourages Xime to give resuscitation to Lalo, but he gets a water bath just as she smacks away. He thinks he’s in hell.
Mau visit’s the kids table who are all very long about the pending nuptials. Aldo rebels and leaves not wanting to be here.
Oscar and Jero chat about the utility of Beto. Nieves was whining about her past and everyone is shocked so Alicia goes to run after her and Mona wants to be alone.
Mau takes to the drink and everyone tries to talk him out of it.
Coni has changed clothes and hair and the ceremony looks like it will go forward while Mona punches a bag alone. That has to suck. We get various flashbacks of their most romantic moments and then see her running out.
The ceremony is beginning and Mona is running. With super high heels on. I give these actresses credit man.
Mau is asked if he accepts and instead turns to see Mona standing there, so tells her he loves her, she responds. The judge asks again. No balls accepts. It’s over. Lalo is the only one thrilled. Instead of a kis he gives a look of ice. Coni yells at him to stay.
Nieves tells Ali she doesn’t want to talk about stuff. Ali is yelling at her when Beto comes in upset that Con married. Ma as usual tries to cheer him up. Of course dinner will do it.
The wedding continues. Coni and Mau almost as far apart as they could possibly be. Xime proposes a toast. Coni is happy. Xime makes all kinds of genral toasts for extinct animals and world peace. Lalo pipes up she should be toasting the novios, and Jero wields his heavy hand yelling at her to sit.
Triste Mona returns to tell her buds what happened.
Sal and Gabi discuss the sad situation and affirm how lucky they are to be together. Gabi ends up offering to allow him to stay at her house.
Beto goes to see Mona and reminds her that despite the wedding going forward she is not alone. She has her friends and him. He suggests they try to see each other as lovers, and that he could be her consolation prize. Eh, that doesn’t go over well. She reminds him she just wants him as a friend.
Aldo is paying the piper some more for a pack of stuff. Estre spots him and asks Chubi what just happened. He drugdar is up. She asks Ivan if he knows why Aldo was with Chubi. Ivan figures out Chubi must be the supplier.
Mona and Beto continue with their conversation, her singing Mau’s virtues. So he starts talking about Momia’s good sex. This conversation doesn’t go anywhere good, really. She accuses that he only wants her because Con is married. Blah Blah this fight goes on. Beto still thinks she should jump his bones.
Cesar is enamored with how yummy Nieves food is. They peck. Beto shows up and Cesar proclaims the mood is about to change.
Sal and Gabi have a nice chat about their own virtues over a bottle of vino.
Beto complains to Ma about Mona not wanting him as a man.
Sal decides tonight is the night. Gabi agrees.
Cesar announces that he’s made it such that she will have a fight to recuperate her title. He wants her to train tomorrow. She’s happy, but not.
Alicia is there too and is fond of Cesar as well. She tries to cheer up Mona too. They talk about Mona’s Mom. This would appear to be an anvil.
Sal and Gabi continue kissy facing. She pulls off his rug!!!! Wow did not expect that!!! She can’t stop laughing. Ooops her discovers why and is understandably upset and leaves.
Mau is at home drinking again. Tere discourages him.
Beto and Nieves are talking but Cesar interrupts. The key things here is she sends him to the pharmacy for her pills, oh and his, the ones that make him, well happy. Beto wants to know what those are!!! Nieves is coaching him to try for a really long time if he wants to get Mona back, little by little and no more flautas, only one love.
Mona flashes back to the ceremony.
Mau gets out of the shower to find a Coni type person on his bed. She drops her robe and wants them to have their “honeymoon”. Ha! He frowns and that’s it til next time.

I love it that Nieves and Cesar are beginning to wear matching wardrobes. They were both in robin's egg blue last night (blue to match Cesar's viagra pills?) and I was just about doubled over with laughter at Sal and Gaby's ill-fated love scene.
First all, those high-falutin' compliments, delivered to a symphony of tics and twitches, then the toupee coming off and looking like some sort of dead animal, Gaby's helpless giggles...oh my. Another great episode. Plus an extended shot of Mau's manly sculpted torso. We need more shower scenes from Mau and fewer words...from him anyway.
Thanks Kris. You personify grace under pressure. And bon voyage again! Business or pleasure?
Wow, I too was shocked when Gabi pulled off Sal's rug. These writers don't miss an opportunity to stick humor in whenever they can. I cracked up and had to rewind this scene, what a hoot.
Bride of Frankenstein, heh, that's too perfect.
Great recap Kris, it really captured the roller coaster feel of last night's episode. Have a great time and yes, I will cover next Wednesday. I suspect there will be no episode on Thursday due to Thanksgiving.
Kris, you're definitely a hummingbird, a very efficient one at that. Thanks for doing such a great job. You captured it all perfectly.
I hope that this next trip is safe and enjoyable. I've really been missing your input here.
That judge last night was not exactly charismatic, But I loved listening to him speak. Would that all. the actors would speak with such clarity. He distinctly pronounced each word. What a treat.
Poor Sal. Would someone please get him to a Dr.? Now his hair is falling out (off?).
Ximena? Simply great. Didn't she look beautiful in the black and white outfit? Toasting the whales, world peace, endangered species... so funny.
Carlos
I posted it for you, by the way, Kris. Still amazed you could pull this off during a plane trip!
Do most wedding planners have a spare wedding dress on hand just in case? Coni certainly makes a beautiful bride. Too bad her inner beauty is somewhat deficient.
Carlos
I loved Beto offering to be a consolation prize -- and I loved his face as he listened to Moni extolling Mao's virtues.
But Xime kissing instead of cpr was too much -- and didn't she look cute in that black & white number.
Thanks for the super effort on the fly --it was a fun recap & a fun episode
Güera from Syra-cuse
Coni was a beautiful bride - white dress, black heart!
I'm guessing Mau will have trouble resisting her 'charms' on their wedding night, heck, they've done the deed enough times. Sincerely hope I'm wrong.
Judy, I love your phrase "Criterion behavior." I hadn't heard it before you introduced it. Excellent...
What really killed me was that when Lalo came to and realized he was being kissed by a woman he wondered "if he was in Hell"? Not very complimentary to our share of the planet, I must say.
So glad this one continues to be funny and yes, Carlos...our wicked Constanza was beautiful...both in a shambles and re-done...but inside, she's black as pitch, icy as a glacier and evil beyond all bearing. A POX ON HER!!!
I don't think Mau will cave this early in the game. But I worry that Connie might be pregnant from the limousine tryst with Beto and she'll convince Mau that he DID have "criterion behavior" with her during his drunken sleep. Ugh ugh ugh...plus that will break Monita's heart.
No, not a spoiler...just a neurotic "what iffer" from the Queen of Worry.
In answer to your questions,
1) Mau and Coni got married because that's the only way he could see the kids. He also signed a prenup saying if he started up with Moni again, Connie would get all his money and the kids.
2) Sal has a tick because Lorenza is slowing poisoning his coffee with a drug which makes you go slowly insane.
3) Rolu got out of his cast because 6 months have passed. However, he fell again, and this time broke both his legs.
4) Aldo got the altering potions from Chubi because he's so upset that Estrella told him they were definitively through.
5) Alicia revealed that Nieves was left pregnant at the altar about 30 years ago, but we don't yet know who Beto's Dad was (is).
Judy, Connie could be pregnant from the limosine tryst with Beto, but Moni could also be pregnant from the pre-nuptial farewell fling. What if they were both pregnant at the same time? That could be fun.
Sylvia, Emilia did indeed get her Margarita last night, and only a small one. Such restraint.
Carlos, unrelated but I think you've mentioned Tomball, TX before. We were watching "Deep Fried Everything" on the Travel Channel last night and one of the places they extolled was Goodson's Cafe in Tomball for their Chicken Fried Steak. Ever been there?
Phooey on this poisoning of Salvador. He seems to be the one grownup in Sermeno Group that has any business sense, so losing him could conceivably cost a lot of people their livelihoods. But what a terrible time for Salvador to lose his rug.
The idea of Coni and Moni both being preggers, yikes! Both babies would be pretty, but dumb as a post!
I'm hoping that Mau is strong, and resists Coni's charms. I sort of think he will, since he previously had a drunken fling with her, and she claimed she was pregnant, even started to fake the test results, but backed down. That was a loooooong time ago, and this show is only about half done. Good thing it's so much fun!
Add me to the list that believes Mau will resist Connie. The dual pregnancy plotline has interesting possibilities.
I'm with Dr. Carlos...someone please send Sal to a doctor soon! And his unfortunate love scene with Gaby was a hoot.
Kris, another fun and extremely witty recap. Wishing you safe and happy travels.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my brother. I am very grateful, particularly to Judy whose kindness, concern and caring words were a calming, soothing balm on my soul. Judy, you are a treasure. My brother is undergoing treatment and we are optimistic.
So glad you are feeling better Carlos. I understand Susanlynn's granddaugher is ill so she is in my prayers as well.
You've all commented so eloquently so will simply say I've missed everyone and look forward to commenting once I'm up to speed.
Diana in MA
Susanlynn, hope your peeps had a good nap and the washer didn't stop dead like mine did. Finally found the answer in the fuse box.
Sal seems to have been wearing an obvious toupee from the beginning. I caught a glimpse of him in some noonday tele where he was playing a doctor, and his hair was thin but he wasn't bald. So dunno. But the twitching, ticcing, bald-becoming seduction scene was just another great one in a long line of this underwatched funny-as-hell novela.
Diana, good to have you back. You and your brother are in my prayers each day. Needless to say, we've been missing you.
Carlos
Beto and Coni were away in NY City for 6 mos. while,
Aldo and the Femsibs were enrolled in Our Lady of the Beautiful Legs Charm School for 6 mos. while,
Valentina languished in a coma for 6 mos. while
Mauricio dithered for, yep, 6 mos.
Mercifully for us time seemed to fly by.
Carlos
I and my patients are fortunate that even though we're on the outskirts of Houston, we have excellent , convenient resources at hand. Fortunately for Diana's brother, he has an excellent well-respected source (Sloan-Kettering) available even though it is not exactly conveniently located for them, and more importantly he has a loving, devoted, caring sister like Diana. He's blessed in that respect.
Certainly you are correct. We need something better for all forms of cancer, and there are some very hopeful possibilities on the horizon.
Carlos
Diana,it is GREAT to hear from you. We've been wondering how you are doing. I know your brother must be very relieved to have you near and helping out. I agree with Carlos, your bro is blessed to have you as a sister.
Carlos, thank you for your comments regarding your patients and treatment. You have an optimistic tone and that is encouraging. I don't care what "recent studies" show, I intend to go in for my annual bubi squeeze no matter what.
Ahoy Susanlynn aka Mad Bess! I think I saw the very first episode of CS and as such didn't get to see Big Ed. However I will say the episode was fantastic and I can't wait for it to air here. The only problem, they had WAY more commercials than we have. It was ridiculous. I wondered if that was normal or just because it was Capitulo #1.
Late comment on Dark and Stormies...I make mine without lime but my best pal makes hers with. I'll drink 'em both ways.
Carlos
Sal looked good without the rug; I don't know why he thinks he needs it.
~Julia, who is sticking with hot cider tonight.
Susanlynn, psyco?!? That's too funny. And thank you for your kind words. We are a pretty friendly bunch if I do say so myself. The world is tough enough without ripping on people over a goofy telenovela. We are lucky that this current one is very good-natured so it puts us in a good mood to begin with. Now if only there was a pirate in the mix. I think Costeño looks kind of pirate-like with his long tresses, his glistening muscular body and his...oh excuse me, what were we talking about?
Carlos, the really sad cases are the aggressive cancers that seems to strike young women. We've had a lovely newscaster, mother of two, die this last year and a very well-known leader of cancer fundraising here in town is not doing well at the moment. But I am happy you are seeing improvement in the cases in your practice. May we learn more and do more to change this dreadful disease and its treatment.
Carlos
It sounds like we're in for another romping good time. Is Beto going to get Coni to cross dress with him?
