Caray, Caray!

I am dismayed that the justice system is portrayed so badly by the ENDA writers! Aren't the police investigating how Alanzo died? What are they thinking about how the supposed perpetrators accomplished the "murder"? Someone should be doing some serious detective work!
Also, it was interesting to hear a Catholic priest invoke "karma" (when PJC was talking to Carlotta.)
Finally, thanks to all of you translators! I do not have captions and make do with my tiny bit of Spanish.
 

Thank you for putting up a link, Debbie!

Boy, nothing says Christmas like a good old-fashioned priest stoning! I haven’t seen the two-hour holiday episode yet, but it should make Christmas ummmm… interesting.
 

When is it airing? It was not on Eastern time at 8:00 like usual. Hope I did not miss it if it aired earlier!
 

Right now Un Gancho is running for two hours. I believe Enda starts at 9:00 -- I suppose for two hours???, but that will bring us to 11:00. Well, we'll see.

Ann-NYC
 

Gracias!

Indeed, it is on now, from 9:00. Don't know if I can stay up until 11:00 so look forward to the recap tomorrow.
 

Orlando and Camila coming back to her house and they are confronted by Samuel who makes a insulting comment towards Camila.

Orlando gives Samuel a well deserved punch to his face. Samuel gets up with blood dripping from his nose and angrily yells at Orlando.

Orlando demands that Samuel show respect towards Camila, because she is the woman he is going to marry.

Samuel is then asked by Camila why he is here.Camila tells him that RoMEna no longer lives here,and that she has moved into her new house with her new husband.

Samuel ask desperately where she lives,he doesn't know that or her cell phone number.

Camila knowing how Samuel is asks why because you want money right?

Orlando pushes Samuel away from Camila and tells him to get out of here.

Samuel angry and frustrated retorts that Camila is not really in love with you anyway. She's in love with the other guy what's his name ahhh Rafael.

This of course enrages Orlando who goes after Samuel again but is stopped by Camila.Samuel leaves with a smirk on his face realizing his last comment got to Orlando.

Angelica and Emiliano are in the office when the phone rings. RoMEna rudely ask to speak to to Emiliano. Emiliano tiredly sighs and ask RoMEna what she wants now.

RoMEna ask where he is now,Emiliano angry with this question ask how can you ask me where i am at. I'm at work of course.RoMEna apologizes and hangs up.

RoMEna tells herself she was a fool to believe whar Liliana told her about Paloma leaving school early to be with her love.RoMEna of course puts all of the blame on Liliana but not her own insecurities.

Orlando brings in Camila's luggage and the gifts he bought while on his trip.

Camila and Orlando get into another fight over her feelings for Rafael.Camila suggest if Orlando continues to question her it's best that he leave.

Orlando once again begs for forgiveness. Camila then says if you cannot believe that i have chosen you over him. Tell me now and take back your ring.

Orlando says of course I believe you, forgive me i trust you.I want you to be my wife and i trust you.

Camila ask completely do you trust me? Orlando says yes completely.

He then puts the ring back on her finger.

Paloma is at the station talking to Padre Benito,while Gabriel looks on.

German then comes out and tells Paloma he's sorry but there's nothing he can do to get her in to see PJC.

Gabriel tells her to keep believing and have faith it might happen. German tells him to stop giving Paloma false hope.

Another man comes out of the back office asking for Paloma.Then he ask for Gabriel.He tells Gabriel because of who he is and his family.

He will permit Paloma to see PJC.
Paloma is told to wait a few minutes and thanks Gabriel. Who is happy to have helped her.

German looks on this lovefest and is not one happy camper. He snottily brings up the reason Paloma is getting into to see PJC, is because of Gabriel's influence.

At the market we see gossip guy and his wife talking to Felipa,Juanita and another unknown housekeeper.They are talking about PJC and Natalia.

Rufi then comes upon the gossip mongers.Rufi defends both PJC and Natalia while Felipa agrees with Rufi.

Juanita also agrees how good PJC is as a person. The other housekeeper brings up how PJC almost married Natalia.Gossip guy says see i told you so.

Felipa doesn't believe it and says what a beautiful person PJC is.

Rufi walks off and thinks loudly to herself that the only way this gossip has spread so quickly is because of Carloca.

Paloma is talking to Cris she tells him she will try to get him out of here quickly.

Cris tells her that her words mean more to him than anything at this moment.He then tenderly touches her hair, kisses her on her forehead.

Carloca is happily humming to herself. The phone rings and someone is telling her about a life or death matter. Carloca responds today!!
 

We see Ivonne at the funeral parlor with Dr.B looking on while she talks on her cell phone with Natalia.

Natalia tells her she does not know when they will let her out, it is very complicated.

Ivonne cannot believe they are calling her a murderer,it clearly looks like a accident.

Natalia then pleads with Ivonne to not tell Sagario about what's going on.Ivonne tells her not to worry she won't say anything.

Natalia thanks Ivonne for everything and also tells her to thank Dr. B also.

Dr.B cannot believe how bad it is in Real Del Monte that two innocent people are being accused of murder.

Ivonne responds, she thinks the person who did this is very sick in the head.

Rafael and Joel are leaving their hotel room, they are discussing Monica. Rafael then says it's over with Camila and it looks like Diana has finally gotten the message loud and clear.

What about Luz Joel asks, we then see Rafael starting to smile.

Paloma is still talking to Cris. She will do all that she can to help him.Cris tells her how much she reminds him of Macarena.

Cris then tells her i am innocent of all the things i'm being accused of. Paloma tells him i know i believe in you. I know how good you are. She then tells him how much she loves him.

Cris is overcome with emotion.

Rafael and Joel check out of the hotel. He then ask the receptionist if Luz has checked out too. Luz is waiting outside, she calls out to Rafael as he is leaving.

She then ask to exchange phone numbers, Rafael can't find a piece of paper for her to write on. She then takes his hand and writes her number on it.

Angelica is at the office giving documents for a delivery man to deliver.

Emiliano arrives at the station and sees German. German ask Emiliano to be sincere and tell him everything about PJC and Natalia.

Emiliano is in shock and can't believe it. German then points to Gabriel and of course Emiliano wants to know why he is here.

German says i don't know but he's here for Paloma. He tells Emiliano how he got permission for Paloma to go in and see PJC.Emiliano ask why Paloma isn't in school.

German jealous calls Gabriel a jerk and tells how much Padre Benito loves him. Emiliano of course does not take this too well.


Rufi sits at the kitchen table with Carloca telling her about the gossip going around about Cris.

Rufi ask innocently who else would know about Cris and Natalia's relationship years ago? Carloca of course tells another lie.

Rufi brings up the pictures, where did they come from once again Carloca says you can take pictures even with cell phones.

Rufi tells her that she doesn't know a lot about technology.

Paloma is then asked to leave Cris by a officer. They reluctantly let go of each other's hand.

Paloma comes out sobbing and walks to Gabriel for comfort.Emiliano who is with German sees this.

Emiliano is not happy and approaches asking what happened. She responds she can't believe any of the things that PJC is being accused of.

Emiliano offers to go with Paloma. She quickly tells him no. Gabriel then offers her and she says ok.

Emiliano looks back at German giving each other the universal male look.Emiliano asks Paloma are you sure you're ok. She says yes and says goodbye to him and German.

Emiliano jealously looks on as they leave together. German tells him to cool it, doesn't help matters if you're jealous.

Camila comes down stairs and RoMEna tells her about their phone call and she doesn't want to deal with her moods.
 

RoMena then brings up Rafael to get back at her mother.Camila then tells her spoiled brat that she has Orlando's complete trust.Shows her the ring he gave her.

RoMEna cannot believe it, Camila says they're going to get married soon.

RoMEna nastily reminds her that she is going to be a grandmother soon.Camila used to how RoMEna lies and schemes to get her way tells her about it.

RoMEna seeing how it's not working this time tells Camila she's going to look at the gifts Orlando bought.

Orlando is finally at the station talking to German. He ask German if he can come up with a solution to resolved this. German says i can't come up with anything right now.

Orlando tells German i am putting my trust in you.Whatever you need or what ever is necessary come to me.Emiliano is impressed with how good friends Orlando is with PJC.

Orlando tells how they have been friends since they were young.

German tells Orlando how incriminating the photos are. The fact that they almost married each other years ago doesn't help either.

Samuel is waiting anxiously in a restaurant looking at his watch.In walks La Loca she ask what does he want that is a matter of life or death.

Samuel brings up her being in Pachuca and why she was in the hospital.Samuel tries to persuade Carloca he wants to be with her.

Carloca snatches her hand away from his touch and tells him she doesn't like him nor does she want him.

RoMEna is looking at the baby clothes and ask Camila who bought them. Camila tells her Orlando did.

Camila then ask her if she spoke to her father. RoMEna says no. Camila tells her how he was looking for her.

Camila tells her she is learning the truth and reality of who her father really is. RoMEna tries to lie but she's not doing a good job.

Camila ask why why all of a sudden she doesn't want to be around her father? Especially when you went through so much to find him and wanted him near you. You wanted to be together.

RoMEna tries to lie being busy with the new house and preparing for the baby.

Camila asks her is that the truth? RoMEna lying again says thats the truth.

Camila asks her brat isn't she sad, why sad replies RoMEna.

Camila says i been the one constant in your life. Now you are beginning to see all the problems i had with your father. You wanted to blame me, and you worked very hard to get me back with your father.

RoMEna hears this even though she knows everything her mother saying is true. Her ego is still too big to admit she was wrong.

Carloca ask Samuel exactly what does he really want. Samuel say i want you. Carloca says i'm not a little girl and i don't want you.

Carloca gets straight to the truth. She tells Samuel you want my money right?

Samuel b.s. says don't offend me please i really want you.We should have a relationship that is beneficial for the both of us. Besides you don't have any man in your life right now.

Carloca angry at hearing that tells him she will never be interested in someone like him.

Samuel tries to bring up her being in the hospital. He wonders who would be interested in that information.I knew you wanted money says Carloca.

Carloca then tells him go ahead tell anyone you like. I was in the hospital because i was intoxicated.

Carloca also tells him her niece would not believe him.You won't get one dime from me. She gets up and leaves a fuming Samuel.

Gabriel walks Paloma back to school.It's the first time she has ever had a normal conversation with him.

Orlando and Emiliano go to the same restaurant that Samuel was at with Carloca.

Orlando talks about RoMEna and Camila and the baby clothes he bought.

Emiliano tells him it's a boy, Orlando is very happy.

Emiliano ask why is he marrying Camila so quickly. Orlando looks guilty and tries to come up with a acceptable answer.

Paloma does what does best cries to the M.S. about PJC.
 

M.S. cannot believe all of the rumors about PJC.

Camila comes to talk to Rufi in the kitchen of misery manor.

Camila asks about PJC and why Carloca at the hospital Carloca did not want her to know Mac was Paloma's mother.

Camila then ask for the name of Paloma's father.

Camila insist it has to be Cris because he is the only man that Mac had ever loved and told her about. It's the truth right, she ask Rufi

Camila ask it's him and ask Rufi to tell her. Rufi looking uncomfortable and stalling ask Camila not to ask her that kind of question.

Camila tells Rufi that it is only right for Paloma to know her who her father really is.

Rufi tells Camila that she doesn't want to talk about such things. Rufi then brings up how Cris is in jail right now. This is not the time to talk about it.

Dario walks happily into a woman's office. He gives her the manuscript that Angelica wrote but his name is on it.

Angelica is on the phone. The delivery man comes back with the documents she asked him earlier to deliver.

He says he can't do it. Angelica asks but why. He tells her about a other book by another man that it is the same. This leaves Angelica curious about who.

Gabriel urges Paloma to paint from her heart.

Emiliano is talking to PJC who ask him to look after Paloma.

Emiliano then complains to him about Gabriel. Exasperated PJC tells Emiliano to please stop being jealous of Gabriel.

I don't have the time to deal with this right now. It's necessary for me to get information i need from Paloma.

Samuel is over at RoMEna's house they talk about Camila. He the ask RoMEna for money, she pretends she did not hear him. She instead talks about the baby clothes.

Part two of tonight's doubleheader.

Episode 119.

The chief has finishes telling Orlando,German and Emiliano about the transfer of Natalia and PJC to Pachuca to go to prison.

German cannot believe it,he then gives German the charges against them to look over. Meanwhile Orlando ask if he can have a few minutes with PJC.

The chief tells him he's sorry but he can't, he says maybe tomorrow but only for a little while.Orlando says ok thank you.

German is flustered and in shocked as he leaves the office. Orlando suggest that they meet at his house to discuss strategy for PJC and Natalia.

We go back to the scene of Samuel and RoMEna when he ask her for money and she pretends she didn't hear him.

RoMEna talks about how emotional Emiliano got when he found out they were having a son.

Samuel clumsily brings up most parents want a boy instead.RoMEna then ask Samuel is that what he wanted a son instead.

Samuel lies and says he is very content that he has a beautiful daughter.This of course is want RoMEna needs for her self esteem.

Gabriel watches as Paloma gulps down her water.He then looks at her painting and ask her about death. Is it a superstitious.

Paloma tells him no many people that she has loved have died.Her parents, her novio and her aunt
the most important people in her life have died.

Paloma tells Gabriel it just as well that Emiliano married RoMEna instead of her. Her life and destiny was not to be with him.

Gabriel look at her sadly from behind.

Samuel talks to RoMEna about how big their new place is and her husband must have money.

Samuel the opportunist does give the house a compliment and says it's beautiful. RoMEna responds it was a gift from Orlando.

She tells how Emiliano will own the plateria one day also.Samuel listens to this in shock.

Samuel tries i different trick to get money out of RoMEna.He ask to deposit money into his account RoMEna looks like she knows he using her for her money.


She gets up and leaves the room and looks back at her dear old scheming dad.

Gabriel tells Paloma about the dead ghost and how she allows it toaffect her.

He tells she has to let the past go or it will haunt her for the rest of her life.Her life right now is here and she has to pay attention to it.Her future is a mystery that no one knows.

She needs live for the moment the here and now and what is before her today.

Paloma seems to be uplifted by this speech because she starts to smile.

Padre Benito is on the phone with his excellency while padre Mateo is praying with his rosary.

Padre B informs the Excellency how innocent PJC is and that someone set up a trap for him.Padre B assures his excellency he will keep him inform of everything that happens.

Padre Mateo tells Padre Benito how could this have happen to Cris.Padre Benito says it doesn't look good.Mateo ask so PJC could be totally terminated from everything.

Padre Benito just look at him with a dramatic stare.It's because the music in the background is dramatic.

Joel and Monica are at a restaurant eating they're talking about how happy they are as a couple. Joel then says next we'll be talking about marriage.

Isn't this their first date? A little too soon to be talking about marriage isn't.

Monica then brings up Camila telling him how she's going to marry Orlando.Joel says then i guess there's no possibility of her and Rafael getting back together again.

Monica says no, Joel moves the talk to about them. Monica thanks Joel for making her very happy, his answer is his smile.

Paloma tells the Purple Grinch she's going to see PJC at the jail. The Grinch doesn't understand why she wants to do that.
 

Paloma tells her sorry she has to go, La Loca says but you don't know about him and Natalia.Paloma ask why don't you come too.Me says Carloca no she does not want to get involved with this matter.


Paloma tells her i don't care about the talk in Real Del Monte, she leaves while the Purple Grinch smiles about how successful her plan has gone so far.

Carloca tells herself how nothing can keep her away from seeing him.

Cris is telling Orlando about Carloca who then ask if Cris has said anything about this to German.Cris says no why, Orlando says you're in a lot of danger.

Cris says i am sure that Carloca has a defense to cover her lies and escape justice. Orlando replies you have to defend your self.

Cris says i know how absurd Carloca is. Orlando tells once again how much danger he's in because of her.

Cris responds you don't know how intelligent she is, the truth is she has extraordinary intelligence.

Orlando still tells him he has to defend himself.Cris agrees but he needs German to help him to get the truth out of Carloca.

Emiliano is on his laptop when RoMena ask him about bringing work from the office.Emiliano tells her know he's looking up cases to help PJC.

RoMEna has a fit about how everyone in town is crazy about him.

RoMEna then tells him how she gave some money to her father.Emiliano then tells her about how always her father wants money from her.

RoMEna takes exception to this comment although it's true and gets into it with Emiliano.

RoMEna then tells him to stop listening to what her mother says about her father.Emiliano tells her he's leaving he leans down to kiss her forehead but she leans up and kisses him on the lips instead.

Emiliano does not look happy but leaves.RoMena looks thoughtful.

We see graffiti on the wall about PJC it says Apoyemos al PJC. Which means support PJC.

It is written in the all girls Catholic school on one of thos big writing pads.

I guess the sisters are drumming up support for PJC, because we see students making signs in class with a nun's approval.

Gabriel gives a big sign with PJC face on it to Padres Benito and Mateo.Misericodia para Los innocente.

M.S. joins in and looks at the students making signs on behalf of PJC.

Emiliano visit Camila's shop and ask her how she's doing,Camila welcomes him and ask what brings him here.

Emiliano wants to talk to her for amoment and tells her about Samuel asking RoMEna for money.Emiliano then ask if he was wrong to tell her this and Camila says no.

All Samuel wants is money even from his own daughter.Emiliano says he doesn't even think about his daughter, Camila says i know but we have to protect RoMEna from her own father.


Orlando smiles while looking over the paper work and thanks Angelica for everything.Angelica says i know right now you're busy thinking about helping PJC.

Angelica then brings up her book and Orlando the problem she's having about it.

The woman who Dario drop his or shall i say Angelica manuscript has just finished it and she is excited about it.

She looks up a number in her phone book and dials it. Angelica is at her desk when the phone rings.She's calling Angelica she then tells Angelica about Dario's new book.

Angelica is in shocked she didn't know that Dario was writing a book at the moment.She then ask if Angelica can work on it for Dario.

Paloma comes into the M.S. office she ask if she called her. M.S. superior says yes, then Emiliano tells her hi, Paloma ask why are you here.

M.S. says he's here to help PJC.

German is talking to PJC about his case.PJC tells him about Carloca and German jumps up and tells him how the whole world respects Carloca.

Cris says i know but you have to suspect the investigation or something me and Natalia are in jail she may not see her daughter because of Carloca.
 

German then ask Cris to permit him to investigate Carloca. German says you better be sure she is responsible for everything.

Cris pleads for German to be very careful with Carloca.German cockily tells him not to worry but he has to tell him everything.

Emiliano is recruiting the kids from PJC programs to help with the signs to support PJC and Natalia.

Eugenio walks down the street and runs into Luz who greets him warmly with a hug.

She tells him about how she will be going to Real Del Monte soon. Eugenio tells her how Gabriel is already there working.

People are lined up in ol' little town of Real Del Monte we see a woman selling tomatoes.Gossip guy yells to the crowd here comes PJC the assesino.

Two police officers open up the doors we see PJC being led out in handcuffs.There seems to be two factions here one side to support PJC and Natalia with there signs.

The other side with small minded people like gossip guy and his wife.The two sides are screaming across from each other.

While PJC is being led between them, then Cris sees Carloca across the street with a smile on her face.We see a hand reach for a big rock.

This person throws it and hits Cris in the head.Cris goes down sort of like a replay Lee Harvey Oswald.The inept police officers help Cris up.

Cris looks dazed while blood streams down from the wound in his head.We finally see Natalia cowering in fear for her life.

Carloca sees this and hides behind some branches hanging from a tree.She talks to herself enjoying the scene playing out before her.

Padre Benito demands the crowd to calm down and they have no right to judge two innocent people.Paloma and Orlando tell gossip guy who is beside himself with fury that a lot of people here believe in PJC and Natalia innocence.

A lot of the crowd start one by one to raise their hands in agreement.Natalia is then put into a police car.

We then see Carloca smirking and strolling out from her hiding spot.

Cris then thinking out aloud ask god why he is testing him this way.Carloca is beside herself in happiness with her evil plot working.

She then tells herself how the people will crucify him now, how foolish he was with his life.

Joel and Rafael talk about how the town is reacting to PJC.Rafael wonders how this will effect Emiliano because he respects PJC so much.

Joel ask he has called Luz yet Rafael says no. Joel hands him the phone.Rafael talks about Camila marrying Orlando. Joel brings up Diana, Rafael says it is finally over with her for good.

Joel urges Rafael to call Luz then,Rafael thinks about it and smiles.We see Luz in her bedroom checking her cell phone to see if Rafael has called.


Diana is walking into the salon asking where is everyone. The woman tells her how a lot of people went down to station to support PJC.

She thinks he's innocent, Diana responds you're a child who doesn't know anything.She ask for a new her hairstyle and the hairstylist ask are you sure.

Carloca is walking along and is confronted by Orlando,she at first does not recognizes him then says you're with Camila right.

Orlando says yes and i am Cris friend since we were young. Carloca ask exactly who is Camila marrying you or Rafael, it's you right.
 

Orlando says yes she is marrying me,Carloca say and the truth about the men and her history is not important for your future wife.

Carloca says she never could imagine that something like this happening in Real Del Monte.

Orlando tells her about the accuser provoking it.Carloca smugly tells how about the morals of some people are lacking.

Orlando responds that the person doing this is because of revenge, this surprises Carloca for a second.

Orlando talks about in her life she didn't get the response that she wanted as a woman he suspects.

Carloca leans in and ask do you have anymore implications.Orlando says no but i believe and i am convinced of this.

Carloca ask did you go to the police? Orlando says no, why not ask Carloca maybe then your friend could be free.

Orlando says maybe it's you, me says Carloca why me. Orlando angrily says how could you do some thing like that.

Carloco says you've been talking to Cris smiling and you believe his truth. Then you know our history good then you think i've trapped him.

Orlando says i think you did, smiling Carloca says you really believe i could have done something like this.


I have that much intelligence and creativity, Carloca smiling insanely is flattered. But she says there is a solution to this.

Tell Cristobal that there are things that consist of his belief of her sister and he can think about this while he is in jail.

Carloca then tells Orlando don't be confused and leaves.Orlando watches her walk away fuming.

Paloma is crying to the PJC and Natalia supporters about the injustice of the charges against them.

Camila and Rufi are the only two left from the group, Camila wonders where Orlando went to.Then Camila mentions why Carloca didn't show.

Rufi says she doesn't know why she didn't show either. Orlando walks up and say she was just here.

Rufi says where Orlando points to the park where he came from.Rufi i knew she couldn't keep away from anything concerning PJC. Camila looks at her confused.

Paloma is walking with German and Liliana. Someone calls Liliana, German leaves Paloma also.

Paloma is the called by Emiliano who wants to talk to her.Paloma says i prefer not to please. Emiliano ask why don't you want me near you.

Paloma ask him to stop saying foolish things to her.We're no longer together,Emiliano reminds her about him asking her to marry him.

Paloma says yes i remember but now i have to think about you being married to RoMEna. Emiliano tells her i always want to be in your life.

He kisses her on her forehead and leaves, while Liliana watches him walk away from Paloma.

Carloca comes into misery manor and the phone is ringing. German is calling her they exchange pleasantaries, German insist on seeing her personally.

It is of extreme importance Carloca says fine come this afternoon.

Angelica gets the delivery from the woman she talked to earlier about Dario's new book.

Angelica signs for it she did not expect it to be given to her this soon.She starts to open it but puts it down saying she still has a lot of work to do.

Sandra is talking to Gabriel about PJC they talk about how it will effect Paloma. Gabriel says she loves him so much.

Rufi opens the door to German and is surprised he is here.German ask if Carloca is here Rufi says why yes but shouldn't you be asking for Paloma. German laughs about that.
 

German ask Rufi if she can tell Carloca he's here.Rufi wonders to herself what German has to talk about with La Loca.

We see Cris bought to the prison in Pachuca they take off the handcuffs.We see Natalia getting blankets and her prison garb.

Cris signs a book, Natalia walks along to a Choir singing and Cris wound is treated. They then show a split screen of both Cris and Natalia coping with their new life behind bars.

Previews for Monday episode a close up of the Purple Grinch, Cris with his clothes and blankets. German taunting RoMEna about Paloma and Emiliano.

Once again if i have translated or missed some parts incorrectly, please feel free to include your input. I had hard time decipher a lot of the dialogue for this episode because the background music was too loud.

Thank you and enjoy the conclusion of last night holiday doubleheader.
 

Thanks Anon for your recap. A lot got by me but you cleared it up for me.

I'm only hoping German redeems himself.

I can't wait til Monday.

Ann-NYC
 

Can someone enlighten us on who exactly Eugenio, Gabriel's father is? Sorry if I missed it in an earlier episode. Gabriel is asking him for help in the case of PJC and Natalia. Is Eugenio a lawyer? If so, he may be the only one who can save PJC and Natalia.

As for the justice system in Mexico, I know that Mexican novela writers do not want us to know this and wouldn't put it in a novela, but the reality is that if someone paid enough money to the "justice" system, they could get these two innocent people set free. Sorry to burst the bubble, but that's exactly the way things work in Mexico--today more than ever.

Dona Gringuita
 

Thanks, Anonymous, for your heroic and helpful recap.

Dona Gringuita, I think (but am not sure) that Gabriel said Eugenio was a retired lawyer who knew lots of people in high places. However, my Spanish is pretty bad, and I was watching this without captions, so I could be way off.

Is it coincidental that the episode with the stoning of Padre JC was aired on Christmas?
 

Dona Gringuita Eugenio is Gabriel father and he's a artist himself too.

Juanita you could be right about Eugenio because i thought he was just using his connections.

The audio was really bad last night especially for the second episode. The background music was so loud it was drowning out some of the conversation.


Univision should start thinking about how to correct this problem. These novelas are not just seen by spanish speaking people only. As much money as they make on them they need to better job than what they doing so far.
 

So Angelica gives her unregistered manuscript to Dario to check out. He stops returning her messages. She goes to register it but she's told someone else is using that title. She receives Dario's latest manuscript and she blythely puts it aside. Are they kidding me?

~Caborita
 

Thank you, Anon, for the recaps and for the pandoteca website which I will go to when I have a bit more time. In the meantime, I feel I'm pretty much caught up. Your recap of the events and also how the characters acted and responded was very helpful. "Emiliano tiredly sighs," Chris "tenderly touches her hair, kisses her on her forehead" are very descriptive and form mental pictures for me.

Caborita, it is difficult to muster any sympathy for Angelica because as a writer let alone a therapist writing about relationships, you'd think she'd have a clue about what's going on with Dario and her manuscript. After all, he pretty much used her before. If she doesn't learn from her mistakes, then too bad for her. She deserves the consequences of her ignorance.

I really have no clue as to how Chris and Nat will be proved innocent besides the obvious fact that there is no real evidence. After all, the photos were taken outdoors, so why would Chris and Nat be so affectionate in public if they were planning to run over Alonso. And Rufi needs to be taken in for questioning so she can spill the beans on Loca.

GinCA
 

Well, Anon, this was a long and hard-to-hear couple of hours, and many thanks for recapping for us. Once again there were no captions here in L.A. Anybody else have captions? The background sound is overwhelming at times. I was hoping to get captions for Christmas, but no luck! I tried to find a “contact us” place on my station’s website, but that thing is like Fort Knox. Writing them a hot letter seems too slow..

I thought the crowd scene was very well directed and shot. And Juanita I agree that the JC connection is intriguing, but more like Easter than Christmas. It looked like one of those scenes where Jesus is carrying the cross, bleeding down his face, while the crowd scorns him.

I thought Carlota, shot in bleached-out color, evilly watching the stoning and gloating was very effective.

I think that Romina was advancing her father money to buy furniture she saw in a catalog which is available in the DF where he is headed. He persuaded her to transfer some money to him to run her errand. Why she didn’t just put it on her credit card, I don’t know. Of course, she’ll never see that furniture.

It seemed to me that Camila was telling her that it’s always that way with her (Romina) but I couldn’t make out what she meant. Camila said something like you did get Emiliano to marry you, but… and then I couldn’t hear clearly. Can anybody clarify?

Well, I guess if Luz is a friend of Don Eugenio we’re to think she’s all right. I really didn’t care for her at the conference, she came on very hard and seemed phony. I particularly didn’t like when she looked at Em’s photo and said he was sooo handsome, and gosh, he could be your real son, he looks just like youuuu. Blech.

Diana is getting extensions? This I gotta see.
 

Maggie, I live in NYC, and I did have captions but they were not too well coordinated with the scene.

I believe Camila was saying to Romina that even though Romina always wanted to have her father in her life, now that he's in Real de Monte, neither she nor Samuel have made much effort to stay in touch with each other. Camila said that that's how Romina always is, that as soon as she gets what she wants,she gets tired of it and abandons it, with the exception of Emiliano. I think she said that even though Romina is married to Emiliano she doesn't fully have him so she's not tired of him yet. Romina scoffed at that, but she still looked as if Camila had touched a nerve with that assessment.

I think it will be significant that Samuel knows Carloca was in Pachuca and was poisoned. He's sleazy but not dumb, so maybe he'll be able to connect this to Alonso's death at the same time in the same town. Somebody needs to figure it out as the police literally have no clue.

Anonymous Recaapper, thanks so much for doing a double-header by yourself with so much infor., snark and commentary.

Jackie – thank you so much for detailing the conversation between Camila and Romina! I had the feeling I’d missed something important, and it turns out I had.
 

Fridays episodes were so action packed.

Camila telling RoMEna about her manipulation and her father was real good.

Samuel trying to get with Carloca.

Orlando confronting Carloca was also good too.

While i was getting the message of persecution in the PJC and Natalia scene when they were led out of the police station to the police car.

I really hope that is not how they escorted suspected suspects out of a police station like that.

I also hope they have laws about inciting a crowd to riot see gossip guy.

Plus the lady selling tomatoes to throw at them what did she think this was a ball game or something.

Then how in the world do you put them in a police car with the back windows roll down.

I kept saying this is a law suit waiting to happen if ever i saw one.
 

Maggie, you are more than welcome! Hope I got it right. Looking forward, as always, to your Monday recap.

Thanks for the recap. I am sure glad I am not the only one perturbed by the background noise. Did Univision put most of their "effects" budget in for special spot lights and color grading for Carloca? Let's not forget the sizable amount of eyeshadow needed in the budget. Oh well, we will continue to muddle through. Thanks again to all who contribute to the recaps. You all do a terrific job!!!!
