Gancho Friday Dec. 25th, Part Two - Beto doesn't like to share
Post holiday greetings to one and all. I got home much later than planned (of course) and have to get up quite early in the morning so this won't be the most detailed of recaps. In fact, if any of you have additions/corrections please comment accordingly and I will happily (and gratefuly) add to the recap. But Hombre has promised that this will be an hour of little talk and all action let's pick up where he so skillfully left off...
Beto the Billy Goat has told Mau that it was he, the macho cabrío, hombre-with-five-letters who slept with Mau's wife. Mau points out that hombre has six letters; he also wants clarification, is Beto both Coni AND Ximena's lover? Beto denies being Ximena's lover, Ximena knows all about Coni and Beto, in fact practically the whole world knows. Then Beto challenges Mau with the Fantasma Vengador pose. Mau looks not exactly impactado, perhaps more dazed and confused and slightly amused.
Now we go to the barrio where Estrella and Coni are having a face to face shout-em-up. Estrella demands to know what Coni is doing here on her turf (mis terrenos) attacking her for no reason? Coni tells Estre it's because she opened her big mouth to Aldo. "Mi cachorro?" Coni spits out "cachorros, monos, que espanto!" (Cubs, monkeys, how dreadful!) Coni tells Estre it's her fault that Mauricio knows she has a lover. The light bulb goes on over Estrella's head. She tells Coni to stop her car right there (I think, parale to carro) and stop blaming Estre. If her husband suspects anything it's because the whole world knows what a desgraciada Coni is. A crowd of neighbors is starting to gather and Coni winds up for another slap. Estre grabs her arm and says "dare to do it and you won't leave here alive."
Meanwhile Aldo is at school bragging to his chums that he's done it more than once with his girlfriend and even his dad is OK with it. Two of the guys break off and pull Aldo aside. Does Estrella have any little friends for them? How about Aldo hang out with them after school, maybe go to the club? Aldo is their new best friend and hero. This temptation will no doubt put a serious crimp in Aldo's heavy school and work schedule, not to mention he plans to see Estrella again, the mention of which puts his libido-laden cronies in a testosterone turmoil. Katia strolls up and overhears, causing her to slyly raise an eyebrow.
Back at Grupo Sermeño Mau tells Beto to have a seat and start from the beginning. Can Beto tutear Mau? NO. Beto gets a little sidetracked but Mau sternly instructs Beto to tell him about Constancia. Beto swears when he first started going out with Coni he didn't know that Mau was her boyfriend and that's the truth. (Eso es neta.) They talk a lot, they talk fast, my closed captions weren't working. I think Beto tells Mau his relationship with Coni was incendiary and Coni told him that he (Beto) was a much better lover than Mau. Ouch. Beto ends by saying he's an ebanista en la cama? A cabinetmaker in bed? Hmmm, clearly I did not get that quite right, or Beto was being Mr. Malaprop again.
Monita is at the gym alternating between punching her bag and looking around. She sees Costeño and asks about Furia, shouldn't he be there for practice? Costeña says it's odd Furia is late, he's usually very punctual. Then he ribs Moni about her unusual interest in Furia's schedule. Moni protests too much, says they are only friends. Yeah sure.
Over at the barrio the argument continues between Coni and Estre. Well it looks like Estre said the wrong thing by telling Coni that she (Coni) will always be the other woman (La Otra) and not the Main Act. Coni slaps Estre and Estre grabs Coni's hair with her right hand and Coni's scrawny neck with her left. Let the action begin!
Luckily for Coni Nieves shows up and breaks them apart. Estre rats out Coni and tells Nieves that Coni just showed up and slapped her. Nieves turns her wrath toward Coni but Coni tells Nieves it's none of her business. Nieves is sick and tired of Coni's high and mighty ways and tells Coni that she and Estrella are humble and united. Estrella's business is HER business. Estre looks a bit surprised but grateful to have Nieves on her side. Coni mouths off to Nieves and receives a well-deserved slap in return. (Hooray!!!!) Coni tell Nieves she has no right to touch her but Nieves gets all up in Coni's face and yells that she has every right as Beto's mother and the grandmother of the baby that Coni carries. Estre totally freaks out at this news..."What? Gross!!!"
At the kid's school a cute guy named Andres invites Lu and Katia to some performance where he will be singing. Two of Aldo's slimy friends show up and want to talk to Katia alone. One guy, Esteban I think, tries to get Katia to come over to his place, his parents won't be home and they can get naked and let whatever happen. Katia slaps the glasses off his face and calls them a pair of idiots. I have no idea why these twerps propositioned Katia except maybe they think because Aldo dated her she puts out. These two idiots then plot something, maybe to try to find out where Estrella lives in the hopes they can get some too.
Mau and Beto are still having their "conversation" at Grupo Sermeño. Mau thinks it's impossible that Beto could love both Monita and Coni. Honestly, I can't understand a word these guys are saying, so moving right along...
Xime stands in front of the door and refuses to let Rolu leave. He told her that he loves her, wahhhh. He says he doesn't like what he's feeling but he'll allow her to tell him three things, the last three things he'll ever hear from her. One, her heart is breaking. Two, the suitcase he has is hers and it's the only one she has. Three, if he's going to abandon her she needs thirty little minutes to put on a long red dress as a symbol of that he's leaving her behind. (?) Whatever. He weeps that he loves her so much, he hugs and kisses her. He tells her goodbye forever.
Coni tries to tell Nieves that they both know Beto is not the father. Nieves says she knows what she heard. She waves her finger in front of Coni's face and tells her to get out, Coni has no more business here. If she stays all she'll get is another slap. Estre cheers Nieves on while standing safely behind Nieves. After Coni leaves Estre asks Nieves if it's true that Beto is the father. That desgraciada Coni is telling everybody that Mau is the father but no, her Beto is the father! What can they do about it? How can Beto love this woman who makes him suffer? The thing that hurts Nieves the most is that Coni thinks even less of her. Nieves cries on Estre's shoulder.
Mau asks Beto how he could help Coni ruin his and Monita's wedding. Beto says he didn't know what he was doing. He knew he was helping Coni but he didn't know her exact plan. Anyway, (and now Beto becomes very animated) Monita is his and Coni is his too! Having spent the last few days with a bunch of little kids surrounded by presents I can expertly observe that Beto is not very good at sharing. Mau, too, is becoming very irritating by Beto's posessive ravings.
Pau approaches Gabi to tell her she is learning English. "My name eees Paulis..." Gabi tells her, in English, that she's very glad Pau is learning English, it will help her in life. Of course Pau doesn't understand so it's back to the drawing board for her.
Jacqui steps out of the elevator and she and Gabi are joined by Oscar. Gabi warns Jacqui about Oscar the egoist but Jacqui says no worries, she's happy by Jero's side. They start talking about Mauricio and what a great guy he is, so calm, polite, even-tempered...then CRASH!!!!! Beto comes flying through the glass from Mau's office into the lobby.
The ladies are impactadas, Ivan rushes into the lobby, and Mau steps over the glass toward's Beto's limp body. He leaps on Beto and starts punching his face (while Oscar chuckles). Beto bleats that Mau is the thief. Mau starts smashing Beto's head on a desk and puts him in a wrestling hold. Beto insists that Coni loves him. He can insist all he wants, Mau has him pinned and Beto waves his arm around helplessly.
Back at the apartment of confused love Rolu is trying to escape but Xime is hanging onto his ankle for dear life. She wails as he slowly drags her toward the door. Jero runs downstairs with his briefcase wondering what the racket is all about. He tries to step over his sister and slip past but Rolu grabs Jero's arm and we are left with Jero in the lead, Rolu attached to Jero's arm and Xime attached to Rolu's ankle. What a family.
Katia approaches Aldo and gives him hell for what his stupid friends Ben and Steve said to her. Just because she's friends with Aldo they think Katia is loose like Estrella. Aldo tells her she's not even worth a pinch of Estrella. Cachorrito, hell hath no fury...
Over at the gym Don Cesar chats with Moni who keeps looking over his shoulder. "Waiting for someone?" he asks. Oh no, it's just weird that Furia hasn't shown up yet. DC is happy if Moni is interested in Furia, he says Furia is a whole bunch of good adjectives. Estrella interrupts (accompanied by the usual whistles and catcalls) to tell Moni that the Mummy is expecting Beto's baby.
The fight continues at Grupo Sermeño. Mau is now kneeing Beto in the nuts while the ladies try to get him to stop. Beto stops him by grabbing Mau's own family jewels. Beto has the upper hand and, with many grrrrs and aaaarghs, twists Mau's arms back. Finally Oscar and Ivan jump in and separate the two rabid fighters. Meanwhile Paula is shouting, the guys are grunting, Gabi is shrieking, dang it's noisy.
Moni says the worst of it is she's not sure the kid is Beto's because Mau spent the night with the Mummy. They are interrupted by a phone call from Paula. Mau and Beto are killing each other because Mau knows Beto is Coni's lover. Moni is impactada, Beto must have told Mau the truth.
Jacqui hides out in Oscar's office and tries to call Coni. She's not happy about Coni putting the horns on Mau for that jackal Beto. Oscar tells Jacqui that he and Jero know about Coni's plans to try to get Mau to marry her. Then he tries to get Jacqui to dump Jero and partner up with him because supposedly they are so much alike. He hands her a box, a little gift for her, a brilliant and gaudy necklace. She seems to love it and thanks Oscar effusively. It's going to be fun watching these two try to double cross each other.
It looks like Mau and Beto have broken free from their captors because Mau has Beto in a headlock. He is also kneeing Beto in the back repeatedly. The onlookers yell ineffectively. Ivan attempts to jump in but Mau shouts him back, "Not your business!" Oops, he should have taken the help because Beto flips around, sits on Mau and smashes his face into the desk. Gabi tells the others they might as well enjoy the show. Paulis leads the cheer for Mauricio.
I think we're in a time warp tonight. There is a lot of noise but nothing progresses. Over at Jero's apartment he is still being clung to by Rolu and Xime is still sprawled out on the floor with a grip on Rolu's ankle. Jero comments that they are both a pair of idiots, made for each other, and it's really sad that they don't have a mature relationship like Jacqui and he who have a love they can't hope to attain. Suddenly Xime releases her grip and at the same time Jero pushes Rolu off. Rolu goes flying across the room and lands on his back. Xime leaps on him like a panther and pins him as he vows she cannot force him to stay. Rolu breaks free and makes a dash for freedom. Xime looks around for a way to stop him, grabs a vase, and smashes it over his head. Oops, auch, perdon Rolu.
The employees at Grupo Sermeño are eating popcorn and enjoying the show. Mau has Beto twisted backwards with his knee in Beto's back. Beto finally slaps the floor and it looks like Mau has won the match. The employees, impressed by Mau's wrestling prowess, cheer their boss on. Mau makes a luchador leap and lands next to Beto. Just then Moni and Estre enter and Moni rushes over to separate the fighters. It doesn't work. Beto's not about to be bested by this Mr. Nobody, he's too macho. Mr. Nobody twists out of Beto's grasp and twists his arms behind his back. He shouts to Moni that Beto helped Coni break up their wedding. If it weren't for this idiot they would be happily married right now!
More fighting, Beto gets the upper hand. Mau gets the upper hand, literally. Judging by Beto's plaintive pleas Mau is breaking Beto's huevos.
Moni's seen enough. She jumps in and cracks the two blockheads together and orders them to their corners.
Jacqui is still trying to call Coni while Oscar tells her the reason for all this discord is not Coni but Monita. The problems all started when Monita started working there. Coni calls Jacqui back and happens to walk into the lobby of Grupo Sermeño at the same time. As she walks into the battle zone she is greeting by Mau who does a perfect imitation of Beto, "How nice of you to join us Constanza, or should I say Constancia, Constancia!" He thrusts his hips for effect and glares at her through his tangled hair. All are impactadissimos.
Beto the Billy Goat has told Mau that it was he, the macho cabrío, hombre-with-five-letters who slept with Mau's wife. Mau points out that hombre has six letters; he also wants clarification, is Beto both Coni AND Ximena's lover?

A cabinetmaker in bed? Hmmm, clearly I did not get that quite right, or Beto was being Mr. Malaprop again.

Wow Sylvia...I'm ready to kill myself for missing this episode. It sounds like so much fun! And I would have split my sides laughing when Beto asks if he can "tutear" Mauricio in the midst of his confession. What a riot. If anybody can direct me to a youtube version I'll try and watch it.
Loved your take on it Sylvia. Your writing style is a perfect match for the no-holds-barred action in this one. And of course I laughed about your "sharing" observation. Our Kate wasn't at all interested in Baby Jack's trucks but when he got a riding scooter, she jumped on before he could. He was so distressed he just laid his big ol' head down on the floor and covered it with his hands. Grief personified. Of course the parents stepped in, and eventually they both took turns riding it, but oh my...a lot of emotion in the meantime.

Oh and Good Morning Kris. Thanks for posting on my Tuesday. Enjoyed reading your finished recap and yes, had a wonderful Christmas down in Charlotte. And today in Columbus we have beautiful snow...enough to be pretty, not so much as to be dangerous for driving. Simply perfect. And tonight...another Gancho to enjoy. What a fun ride this has been.
This was a great episode, lots of action. As Hombre says, it feels like Coni is the Titanic about to hit an iceberg.
Thanks for your kind words Judy, you are always a great support. It was very frustrating to watch this episode and not have closed captions or enough time to replay scenes so I could understand them better. On the down side when these characters are angry they talk REALLY fast. On the up side we had a lot of great action. If Beto doesn't know that Mau is his partner Furia then he is a zopenco indeed.
I'm absolutely exhausted after a weekend of hanging around kids and presents. As Judy says, a lot of emotion is involved as the kiddies reluctantly learn to share. Some of us never learn, heh.

Sylvia, great job. My heart went out to you as I was watching. You did a great job of capturing the dialogue as well as the action. I hope they get the CC issues worked out. Just how hard can that be, any way?
I'm really annoyed at Aldo bragging to his friends, though of course Estrella did some bragging of her own. I don't think that she'll be amused however when those two idiots come looking for her, and they will.
Good morning Judy. Sounds like you really had fun with kiddies. Sorry you missed seeing this exciting episode. I'll try to put up a link to a site you can watch it at.

I'm off work for a couple of weeks and have the time to enjoy a leisurely read of the blog every morning. (Usually it's a fast zip through with no time to ask questions or comment.)
I, too, missed this episode, but what a great recap by you, Sylvia, and Part I by Hombre! Of all episodes to miss, but I didn't think the family would be amused if I excused myself from the Christmas activities to watch TV!
Both recaps were deliciously detailed so I was able to easily visualize what happened. Thank you both! I can't wait for tonight's episode to see what happens next.
May I just say three things? :)
1) I had a feeling that Ximena would win over Rolu and suggested that some time back in one of my rare posts to this blog. I think we all know he WILL be back!
2) What an interesting show: with months to go it seems that the story is in the last episodes. What do the writers have in store for us? I'm intrigued with how Coni is going to drag this thing out for several months more. I have a horrible feeling that she will submit to paternity testing and Mau will only have it tested for Beto and it will come back negative and Mau will assume it is his. He won't know or suspect that the viper was with yet another person (Jero) and that will be the next grueling round of drama as Mau submits once again to Coni's demands.
3) Aldo, Aldo, Aldo...bragging about your sex life? I am so disappointed! You blew it, buddy!
I have a question: what is the word that Coni constantly uses on Ximena and Coni? Is it "tarada?" I hear Jero use it sometimes, too. I'm guessing it is something along the line of "stupid" or "ritard" because they don't seem to be using it in a complementary way!
I, too, missed this episode, but what a great recap by you, Sylvia, and Part I by Hombre! Of all episodes to miss, but I didn't think the family would be amused if I excused myself from the Christmas activities to watch TV!
Both recaps were deliciously detailed so I was able to easily visualize what happened. Thank you both! I can't wait for tonight's episode to see what happens next.
May I just say three things? :)
1) I had a feeling that Ximena would win over Rolu and suggested that some time back in one of my rare posts to this blog. I think we all know he WILL be back!
2) What an interesting show: with months to go it seems that the story is in the last episodes. What do the writers have in store for us? I'm intrigued with how Coni is going to drag this thing out for several months more. I have a horrible feeling that she will submit to paternity testing and Mau will only have it tested for Beto and it will come back negative and Mau will assume it is his. He won't know or suspect that the viper was with yet another person (Jero) and that will be the next grueling round of drama as Mau submits once again to Coni's demands.
3) Aldo, Aldo, Aldo...bragging about your sex life? I am so disappointed! You blew it, buddy!

Hi Deb, it's great to hear from you. Yes, I do rememeber that you predicted Rolu would eventually become smitten with Xime. I was hoping that you were watching this.
They use the word "tarado/a" a lot and it does mean someone who is defective. They also like to use "tarugo" which means blockhead.
Deb, thanks for checking in. I'm glad to hear you are still enjoying the show.

Hi guys...thanks to Carlos' link I was able to watch the whole show (although I had to give the site my credit card number which made me NERVOUS).
However, I admire you even more Sylvia, after trying to understand the 200 mph verbiage they were spewing. Whew. But so funny. And the last, where Beto's family jewels were in a vise grip and his voice went up three octaves....oh my!!!
I'm thinking about that "ebanista" quip Beto made. Do you remember the movie the Money Pit where there were jokes made about carpenters being terrific lovers? Maybe it's the same image. A man with a hammer, and all that. And my brother is a contractor and the one time there was an issue on the job was when his head carpenter seduced the lady of the house. Bro' had to fire him and hated it, 'cause he was the best. Oh well.
Hi Deb. Glad you had a chance to enjoy the recap. Sylvia really deserves a medal and Hombre too.
And Aldo deserves the trouble that's coming his way. Oh my, what a disappointment our cachorro is!

Judy, I didn't think giving your credit card number was required for that site. Maybe you had better check to make sure nothing was inadvertently charged to it.
It was a great episode. I think I might watch it again tonight because I feel like I missed a lot.

Judy, I'm sorry. I didn't have to give a credit card # to use that site. I think that I got it from Sylvia a week or so ago. I previewed tonight's show and there's a lot of fast talking in it as well. I sure hope the CCs are working a little better than they have been.
Deb, it's good to hear from you. I'm glad you are enjoying this show. I think it's one of the best I've seen. Certainly Sal will have Mao have any DNA testing include Mao himself. Won't he? Cute that you, like Ximena, had 3 things.
Carlos

Sylvia, you did a fantastic job, especially without the captions. You totally captured the wildness of the episode. I felt as if I were watching the action, eating popcorn, just as Paula and the gang were doing in the show.
When Beto was having that mile-a-minute conversation with Mau, I think he was listing all the various things he's done, such as sleeping with Connie, conspiring with Connie to delay things enough at Mau's wedding with Moni to allow Connie to get that phone call to Mau, where he had to stop the wedding or lose his kids, and also calling Connie to tell her about Mau meeting Moni in the amusement park. He might have even admitted having sex with Connie the day of the Mau/Connie wedding, which would explain Connie's torn dress! (not positive about this last one)
Deb, brilliant idea that maybe it's really Jero's baby! This would allow for lots of fun, since Jero is wooing the mother, but impregnated the daughter!

Thanks Hombre, that means a lot coming from you. Also, thanks very much for filling in the blanks about their conversation. My head was spinning.
Judy, that's the funniest story about your brother the contractor! Who knew? However my carpenter friends are, for the most part, very masculine and attractive so I can understand the appeal. You all might think this sounds weird, but for a while there was some work being done on a building across from where I work. One of the guys wore a kilt and toolbelt everyday instead of the usual jeans. Here was this big brawny guy in workboots and a kilt showing off his muscular legs every day and driving the ladies wild. We used any excuse to step outside for fresh air. Ahhh...I remember that construction fondly.

Sylvia you naughty girl! Photos next time, ok?
I missed bits of both episodes on Friday but the recaps were so good I forgot I hadn't seen them all. Thanks, all.

Sylvia...so far nothing's been charged. They've sent me notes to that effect. I guess if you sign up for membership so you can download movies every month then there's a charge. But there was something to the effect that they needed the credit card to ensure that you were a resident of either the US or Canada since their agreement didn't extend beyond those two countries. I dunno. Since I'm also reading a mystery novel about someone infecting a person's computer with a Trojan Horse, now I'm really sweating it! Hah.
PS Evidently this head carpenter was quite handsome too...and smart. But not smart enough to keep his hands off the customer's wife.
Yikes, Judy, I just opened the link and didn't have to do anything to watch...why did you have to give your credit card, what did you pay for??? You should maybe check into that. Carlos, any insight into that??
Just lookin' out for ya amiga...

Ooops, I now see all the new posts...don't want to be alarmist, but verifying residency with a credit card is a pretty lame excuse...you may just want to call your bank and let them know and see what they recommend. Their fraud department should be familiar with this if it is a scam of sorts and can advise if you need to cancel the number...
Judy, did you by any chance click on the "High" button? When I do that, it asks me to sign up for iReel. However, if I just click on the green play button without clicking on "High", the show plays.

Hmm..don't know what button I clicked on. However I've gotten two missives from them telling me that I have not been charged anything and am signed up only for the "free" session. I dunno...keeping my fingers crossed that I haven't done something more stupid than usual.
By the way, nice job Sylvia on apparently a tight time frame. Who would have known. Seems like a peerfectly great recap to me..complete with full funnies and conversations!! You are such a natural!!
