Dinero # 53 3/31/10 : Hickey? How did that Happen?
Ale wants to know what he is talking about. Rafa bites his tongue but it is too late. Ale wants to know why he would talk about her fiancé like that. She wants to know what he knows about Marco. Rafa is trying really hard not to spill the beans.
Rafa tells her that she knows he doesn’t have a very good relationship with Marco. He says you tell me one thing he tells me something else. Ale is relentless and wants to know what Rafa knows. Ale has gotten herself so upset she becomes nauseous starts gagging and suddenly leaves.
The Siglo crew now approaches Rafa and wants to know about his “semi-new” car. Marino makes fun of it and Rafa defends it telling him the attributes of his Grand Marquis. It even has air conditioning.
Rosaura tells him if he were in the United States he would be considered poor for driving around in that car. Marino tells him he has a buyer for the car. Bebe, because it would be nostalgic for him since when
this car was new it would have around the time of Bebes’ first communion.
Claudia tells him he should have a car more appropriate with his salary. One that he could take her out for the weekend. (Claudia give it a rest.)
Susana enters Ales’ office and finds her not looking so good. Ale looks as if she is about to hurl. The gagging goes on for a while. Susana wants to know what’s up? Ale says Rafa has assaulted her once more by bringing that car to Siglo. She says she is sick to her stomach.
Susana has just the remedy for that and pulls out one of her homeopathic oils. She tells her she has to do a memory regression so that she can rationally deal with the subject of her accident. She gives Ale a drink of something pink. Ale makes a face and downs it. Susana chides her and tells her that it isn’t that bad. Ale than informs Susana that Beltran has given her a mission. Susana seems a little alarmed.
Rafa has arrived at his new hunting ground Refri Transportation. He lies to get his way past the guard. He tells him he has a check he needs to get inside to deposit. The guard is a little suspicious but Rafa has learned how to spin a good lie. The guard lets him in, as Rafa turns and tells him to park his car.
Rafa encounters Magda the receptionist. She tells him that Mr. Zarate is busy and cant attend to him. Rafa asks her if it is okay if he takes a seat and waits for him. He wants to know if they have a catalogue he could look at to familiarize himself with the business. She points him to a place and Rafa begins his studies.
Back at Siglo, Susana has started her new mission. Do Ales’ dirty work. It is now her job to light the fire under the lazy bums called Siglo vendors. Marino wants to come up with an arrangement with Susana that will make not only her job easier but theirs as well. Susana isn’t buying that and tells Marino to get rid of the toothpick and walks away
The crew is now complaining that it is like working in a maximum security prison. Claudia isn’t as dumb as she looks and suggests that Ale has put Susana in charge of making there lives miserable. They delegate Bow-tie guy to go and talk to Beltran. He is none to agreeable about this and they end up dragging him off to face Beltran.
Back at Refri, Magda is asking Rafa how long he plans on waiting. Our little lion hunter tells her he will wait as long as necessary. She wants to know what exactly his business is. He starts talking with her. She tells him not to waste his time as there have been many before him and none have been successful. Zarate only works with Mountain trucks. (Camiones de Montana). Rafa insists he has a better offer for him. Magda tells him he just won’t listen to any one else.
Rosario and Jorge are out on the patio. Rosario wants to know what’s wrong. Jorge says he has a restless soul. He has a bad feeling about the hacienda . Rosario tells him to not be so negative. She reminds him he was just there a while ago with his buddies. Jorge tells her he didn‘t get to see anything. He suggests the two of them go check it out now. Rosario doesn’t want to go and suggests he asks Marco to take him.
Quintana has come to visit Jorge. What luck. Now he has a chauffer to take him to the Hacienda. Rosario kisses him goodbye and says to herself, she hopes he doesn’t run into any surprises (Oh oh).
Beltran and Bow-tie guy are now having a little talk. Beltran wants to know all the gossip in particular anything about Claudia. Bow-tie guy says he wants to talk business. He is complaining that Susan wants details about their business plans, bla bla bla. He says now that Ale is a treasure to work with, they have to put up with Susana who is contradicting her. (Making them work).
Beltran double talks him and tells him to go ahead and give their reports to Susana. Bow-tie guy has just figured out Beltran is not what he seems to be, and leaves the office slightly confused but without a single concession. Once he has left Beltran calls them swine, vagrants parasites and opportunists and sucks on his oxygen.
Jorge has arrived at the Hacienda with Quintana and is greeted by Chucho . Chucho seems a little nervous about the visit.
Dona Delores has entered our favorite salon and has invited everyone to participate in the dance contest at Trancazo. Poor Ovi doesn’t have a partner. Well that problem is easily solved. In walks Pepito. It is love (or lust) at first sight.
Bow-tie gives the bad news to the Siglo crew. He says all the power now is in the hands of Susana. And now their destiny lies in the hands of Dandy. The General wants to know if he is up to it. Dandy says it is Susana, it will be a piece of cake or wheat cake. (Actually the dicho was talking about bread or pan, but I think that is what it means.)
Susana and Ale are discussing their role changes at Siglo. Then Ale casually asks about Rafa and we get a juicy sarcastic line “ oh right he is out looking for the mega-client that will solve their problems.”
Rafa has just witnessed a dressing down of the poor Magda by the assistant of Zarate . Rafa wants to know what that was all about. Magda confesses she use to be in charge of sales until the owner retired and Zarate took over. (Or soemthing like that. I got a little lost.) She was demoted and is just waiting out her pension. In the Meantime Zarate hired some young thing to take her place.
Rafa then suggests since she use to be in charge of sales that perhaps she could help him out. She doesn’t think this is the best idea. Rafa gets a Vicky call. She doesn’t believe he is working. Rafa tells her where he is and hangs up. Magdas’ phone rings. She tells Rafa he has a call. Crazy Vicky has called checking up on him.
Ale gets a call from Marco. He turns on the charm and she turns on the sarcasm. He tells her that Urdiales has loaned him the money for the wedding. How great and is Urdiales going to let him come to the wedding or will he have to work? She blows him off and tells him she has to work and hangs up
Marco is very frustrated and tells Chavez she is worse than ever, and goes off on Chavez blaming him for making him hang out with him last night.
Chavez tells him not to blame him for the problems he has with Ale. He’s worried that things aren’t going well between the two of them. He inquires if Marco has had his wild night of sex, or even any sex with Ale. Marco says no. Chavez continues to be worried. Things aren’t going the way they planned. He tells him to call Ale and arrange a romantic eve. Marco thinks a hotel is the best place. Chavez thinks this might be a bit expensive. Marco wants him to work with him here if he is planning all this the least he can do is come up with the money.
Chavez suggests that for Ale the place isn’t what is important as much as the thought, but then agrees to come up with the money.
Ale and Susana are discussing if her bad mood is from lack of sex. Susana says why not give Trapito a try. Then she says her bad mood is with the entire world. She tells her it might help however if she did resolve her intimacy problems with Marco. Then she tells her a women that isn’t caressed will turn sour. And leaves.
Rafa finally gets his chance with Zarate. This is a fleeting moment and Zarate is not interested . He then tells him to leave and not come back. Zarate then goes off on Magda for letting him in. Rafa comes to her defense and says she had no idea that he was waiting for him. He apologizes to Magda and leaves.
Rafa leaves semi-defeated but is not going to give up. Marco is also not going to give up. He calls Ale back suggests a passionate night. Ale wants to know if he has been drinking. She is suspicious that he will cancel at the last moment . Marco assures her that tonight that won’t happen. She warns him it better not and then agrees to meet him. He gives her the directions of the hotel and Ale seems impressed and more than ready.
Chavez returns with the money for Marcos hot night. He tells Marco not to blow it and seems worried about the money they are spending. Marco tells him it will be worth the outcome. He goes to take a shower and Chavez heads for a drink. We hear a loud scream coming from Marco.
Marco runs out of the bathroom screaming and it seems his little night of fun has left a huge mark. Chavez wants to know what the heck it is. (If anyone missed this tonight it was honestly the funniest scene). Marco wants Chavez to tell him want it is, pointing to a very large hickey on his neck. Chavez has a look of disbelief on his face.
Chavez wants to know how he got it He wants to know if he was bit by a vampire or a donkey. Marco is very angry and says it was from the friend he introduced him to last night. He is so angry and if things weren’t bad enough he has to get naked with Ale tonight.
Chavez tells him to tell Ale he was attacked by a bat. Marco calls him an idiot and says only someone like you would believe that. (These two together are so funny and I am so glad they made-up)
Our boys are in big problems now. Chavez tells Marco he has to cancel and Marco knows that is not an option. Ale will kill him or even do something worse if he cancels.
Ale is excited about her night out and Susana seems pleased. Ale is out to do the wild thing. She encounters the Siglo crew and sweetly tells them all good night and to come to work tomorrow when ever they feel like it. They all look very concerned.
Ramirez tells everyone that Ale has washed her hands of them and has left them to the hands of Susana. He looks very worried. Dandy and Claudia have come up with a plan as they scoot over to their desk. Dandy is rubbing an oil on Claudias’ temples as Susana rounds the corner.
Susana wants to know what he is doing. Dandy mentions some type of oil used to relieve stress. Susana is quite impressed and want to know where he got it. (Oh Dandy you are so smooth.) Dandy babbles on and Susana tells him they need to talk more about this.
Dandy suggest they go out. (we see Claudia in the chair rubbing the oil on her face.) He suggests they meet at Trancazo for the dance competition. He cant leave now because Claudia is waiting for him to finish his treatment. It is a date.
This is another funny little scene. Dandy is backing up and accidentally steps on Claudias’ feet. The crew all rush over to see if he had any luck and he tells them she fell for it. Claudia wants to know where he got the oil. He tells her it is motor oil.
Now the gang is off . Bebe shows up with the two floor models and says he is ready for the dance contest. (Way to go Bebe).
Back to our favorite couple. Chavez is trying to cover up Marco’s hickey with some make-up powder. Marco tells him to be more careful. He wants to know if it is working. Chavez complains about the make-up and says he doesn’t like the texture, its all clumpy, and he wants to know where he got it. He says from an old girlfriend. Marco takes a look in the mirror and is freaking out. It is not working.
He tells him Ale is a women and knows all about these things. She’s going know what it is. Poor Chavez is sitting in a chair looking as if he just lost his best friend. Marco asks him what should they do now. Chavez suggests putting tomatoes and a little piece of meat on it. (This is so funny).
Marco Is beside him self and is screaming at Chavez telling him tomatoes and meat aren’t going to fix it. They only have a half an hour before he has to meet Ale.
Chavez tells him he can put a scarf on and tell her he has a cold. Marco says and yea when I am all nude except for the scarf? So then Chavez says don’t women think it is romantic to have it dark. Turn the lights off and don’t turn them back on for anything.
Then Chavez goes off on his little Ale lust rant, and says unless she is an exhibitionist and starts getting himself all worked up at the thought of Ale in the nude. Marco screams at him to shut up. Then Chavez says well turn the lights off, unless of course you need some light. Marco is offended and tells Chavez he knows his way around in the dark.
We are back at the Hacienda and Jorge is asking Chucho how many head of cattle (I think that was the question) they have gained. Chucho tells him that he doesn’t have that information. Only Chavez knows those things.
Jorge decides he wants to spend the night. Quintana tells him he can’t stay but will Come back for him tomorrow. He says he will let Rosario know he is staying at the Hacienda and Jorge tells him that he will do it. Jorge is content to be at his hacienda
Our final little scene is Chavez in the car with two young women. They are all excited about their plans. Chavez promises them a good time at a great place, the Hacienda. We see Jorge fast asleep at the Hacienda.

Rafa always amazes me. I am not counting him out of this one yet.
We need some more Rafa and Ale time.
1) Would someone explain what the problem is with the hacienda?
2) What did Marcos and or Chavez do that they are trying to hide from Jorge?
3) What is the relationship between Marcos and Chavez? Are they "business partners" or what? Are they both lawyers?
Here's what I think I know.
A)Jorge made some bad finacial decisions probaly due to his failing memory.
B) the hacienda has been seized and Chavez is the finacial admistrator.(Chavez is a lawyer but not very honest)
C) Chavez and Marco are working together. They are shady characters and have been embezeling from the Hacienda. Their plan was to have Ale fall in love with Marco and marry him.
D) The plan for Marco to marry Ale before the embargo or seizure was lifted was going smoothly until Ale's accident with Rafa. The wedding was postponed and Rafa now works at Siglo as he has to pay back all the money Ale and Marco were out from the wedding. and other expenses
G) Ale is slowly falling in love with Rafa but there are all sorts of obstacles in their way.
E) Marco and Chavez are now working overtime to get Marco to win back Ales affections so she will marry him.
F) Marco doesn't really love Ale, he is just after her money and the Hacienda.
G) Marco and Chavez are two of the funniest criminals ever to have walked the face of a telenovela. They are always trying to put out some fire.
hope that helps a little.
Great recap Pata! Can’t wait for the bedroom shenanigans of Marco and Ale. That should be funny as he tries to hide the hickey. The dance competition should also be hilarious. The skinny half of B&V looks like he has some dance moves as colorful as Rafa’s. Lol!
Marco and Chavez--so good together. And Marco's chupeton, caused by a vampire or a donkey. LOL.
Pata and Vivi, glad you did a synopsis for others that want to join us and are a little late for the party. All are welcome!
Barbara
I could not believe my eyes, when I saw the assistant in the company where Rafa was waiting walking in with that pink dress and looking like she should rather be self-employed on the street. And if Ale's business attitude was questionable, this woman and her boss make her look like angel.
Vivi and Pata thank you for the insights on the hacienda. I've been watching the show for a couple of weeks now, but I still had troubles understanding what happened there.
Thanks for your kind words. Vivi our paths did cross. Your summary was great. You covered alot of things I missed.
I hope that people who are just starting to watch this show and reading our comments and recaps will continue to enjoy the show as much as we do. And will continue to read our recaps and comments. And even comment.
We are a pretty small group here and its fun to get comments from new people.
Like Barb said all are welcome.
This is such a funny and fresh novela.
The whole hickey scene had me on the floor. I too can't wait to see what happens tonight.
