Dinero # 75 & 76 4/28/2010 Marco has a bad day and Lenora has a bad hair day
We see a very distraught Marco at his apartment, when Chavez shows up. He looks around the apartment and wants to know what gives. Was there a hurricane. (Yes and let’s call it hurricane jealousy.) Marco offers Chavez a drink. Chavez wants to make sure Marco did not do anything stupid. He says Ale must be waiting for him. Marco cries his life is destroyed. Chavez tells him not to get so upset about things. Marco tells him that his fiancé slept with someone else. He knows everything.
We see Rafa with Lenora and Juliette . They are discussing their financial woes. Rafa is trying to figure out how he is going to make all his financial obligations. He tells them it is all changed now because of last night.
Jaimie shows up. He asks Rafa if he has talked to Ale yet. Rafa wonders if Ale is going to go through with the wedding. Jaimie encourages Rafa to call her. We see Rafa hesitating.
Tia can’t believe Ale would settle for Rafa. At this moment Ales’ phone rings and it is Rafa. She does not answer it and says she doesn’t want to talk to anyone. Rafa is disappointed that she would not answer.
Tia wants to know what Ale is going to tell Jorge about the wedding. Ale is quite upset and says she has to get to work. Jorge ducks down so Ale can‘t see him as she leaves. After she leaves Jorge storms in and asks Tia what they are going to tell all the guests. He tells Tia he heard everything.
Chavez is scolding Marco asking him if he is aware of what he has done. Marco replies back very indignantly “ Are you aware of what she has done to me?“ Chavez reminds him they are talking about negotiations here and not love. Marco is going on about how Ale betrayed him. (He really looks hurt, it is hard not to feel sorry for him)
Chavez warns Marco that they can’t loose two years of work. He advises him to call her and tell her he forgives her. Marry her, get the papers signed, then separate. Marco is still going on about the fact that she slept with someone else. Chavez reminds Marco that if he doesn’t marry Ale they will loose everything. Marco is getting more upset. He says he has to respect his honor and he finally kicks Chavez out. We see him looking crushed to the bone staring at Ales’ picture.
We see Susana on the phone. She is calling to cancel the wedding reception. Around the corner we have an uninvited guest. It is Rosario eavesdropping. Susana continues talking on the phone and Rosario is off to spill the beans to the rest of the group. She is all flustered and twitting. Someone gets her a drink of water and she finally blurts out Ale canceled the wedding. We get a sinister Marino smile at this announcement.
Dandy wants to know what’s up. He tells everyone that Ale almost caught him at Susanas’ apartment. He says he had to leave out the window and he shows off his ace wrapped ankle. Bebe tells him he deserves it. They continue with there gossiping and speculations. Bebe chides them all telling them they need to be more respectful.
Dandy pulls Claudia aside. He wants to know what she is up too. Claudia says she does not know anything. Dandy doesn’t believe her. He wants to know why she wanted the information from him about the hotel. Claudia lies. Dandy is not buying any of it. He continues to pressure her to tell him what she is up to. She warns him that she knows stuff about him too that would not be good if found out and kicks him in the ankle. We see Dandy hobbling around on his already injured ankle.
Susana is still on the phone when Dandy hobbles over to her and wants to know what‘s up. Susana tells Dandy she will make everything up to him. She knows some great techniques. Dandy wants to know what is going on with Ale.
Ale has finally arrived at Siglo. We see a very happy Beltran approaching her and he calls her the light of his eyes. (That light is going to go out soon). He wants to talk to her and Rafa. He makes a comment about the new car that Rafa earned. He heads off singing his little money mantra. Bebe wants to know if Beltran is aware that Rafa has quit.
Ale runs into Dandy and wants to know what happened to his foot. He tells her not to worry he is going to get a message tonight . Susana not pleased with his comment knocks him over on her way to Ales’ office. Ale asks Susana what she should do. Susana says are you going to tell him there was no sale and that Rafa quit. Ale still doesn’t know what to do. She asks Susana for Rafas’ resignation.
Marco is still going on about being betrayed by Ale. The one he would never suspect to sleep with someone else. His phone rings. It is Claudia. She tells him she knows the wedding is off. She asks him how he is doing. He tells her he is a wreck. Claudia continues with her feigned sweetness. She says she can come over. Marco tells her he is not up to it. She reminds him he can count on her for anything.
Beltran is still on cloud nine ( and about to drop without a parachute) as Ale enters his office. He kisses her and sings . He tells her to sit down. He is all excited. He wants to know all about the sale. Ale tells him there is no contract. (Did you hear that thud?) Then there a scream that is heard all through Siglo.
Rafa goes to see Pepito. He asks a couple of the salesmen there if Pepito is around and to tell him Rafa is looking for him. As they leave they realize he is the guy that got stole the Refri deal from the Montana folks. Pepito invites him inside and Rafa tells him he shouldn’t because they are the completion. Rafa tells him he needs the money from the sale of his car.
Ale tries to explain the story to Beltran. She says every thing was going fine and Marco showed up and ruined everything. There was a big misunderstanding and the Refri guys got ticked and ripped up the contract. Beltran tells Ale that he knew the marriage idea was stupid. Ale reminds him that yesterday he was fine with the idea. Well he changed his mind. Now he is screaming for Rafa. Ale tells him Rafa quit. Beltran says that’s just as well and calls him a few names.
We now see Beltran sucking his oxygen and Ale taking full responsibility for the entire disaster. She says she has nothing left to do but resign. Beltran is not going to let her off that easy. He tells her she has to answer for her mistakes and that she can‘t quit. He says Rafas’ resignation is sufficient. He tells her to fix the disaster that Rafa caused. He wants sales to improve. Ale assures him she will do her best to get them out of this mess.
Beltran goes out to the sales floor and tells them to put the car back up for sale. Claudia reminds Beltran that it is Rafas’ car. Beltran screams “don’t mention Medina!!!” Bow-tie guy feels the car should go to the person that sold the most. Beltran isn’t buying this. He says the car was the prize for the best negotiation, not for the most sales and it is no longer up for grabs. It is going to be sold.
Ale tells Susana that Beltran would not accept her resignation. Ale is distraught, all she wants to do is go home and explain things to Jorge. We see a very sad Jorge looking out his window wondering where he failed. He wants to know why Ale did what she did.
We see Ale walking out of Siglo. Behind her we have the entire Siglo crew creeping up on her. Ale finally turns and tells them she knows they are following her. Then she confesses there is no wedding. We get the usual crew response. Claudia pretends to be her best bud and runs up all syrupy. Then She tells Ale she has to leave and go see a client. Ale tells her sarcastically to do what she wants and leaves.
Dandy and Ramirez are going to get to the bottom of things. He calls Rafa and asks him what happened. Rafa tells him there was a misunderstanding. He lies about what happened. Ramirez tells him Beltran is so mad he doesn’t even want to see a picture of him. Dandy wants to know if there was something going on between him and Ale. Then Dandy tells Rafa that Ale canceled the wedding. Rafa can’t believe this and he inquires how Ale is doing.
Rafa has to hang up, Vicky is walking his way. She is all wedding talk. Rafa is finally able to interject and tells her the sale fell apart. Vicky is worried that now he has to go back to Siglo. Rafa tells her he can’t go back there. Vicky is relieved. She has it all planned out. He can get the money from Papa . Rafa tells her that they can not get married. (Okay some one else needs a parachute after following off cloud nine) . Rafa tells her he needs to face her father and talk to him directly. Vicky aghast, tells Rafa her Daddy will kill him. Rafa is insistent and drags a protesting Vicky off to confront Daddy.
Ale has arrived at home and wants to talk to Jorge. Tia warns her that he knows everything.
Jorge doesn’t want to talk to anyone. He won’t eat. He is in his room. Ale knocks on his door. He won’t answer. She is begging. He tells her to leave. She says she won’t leave until he opens the door. He tells her to go away, that he doesn’t want to talk to her.
Rafa is dragging Vicky to talk to Daddy. This was a bit of a scary scene. The BGS are waving knives and shouting for machetes. Daddy wants to know if Rafa wants to borrow money. Rafa confesses that he lost the big sale. The BGS start teasing him. Daddy tells them to knock it off. He tells Rafa to continue. We see more knife wielding and they are getting bigger by the minute.
Vicky is distraught. Rafa says it isn’t right to marry her when he has nothing to offer. He says it is best to postpone the wedding until things get better. Vicky is freaking and wants her brothers to help her and we see even more knife wielding . Daddy tells Rafa he is doing the right thing and he is thinking with his head. Vicky continues to be all frantic. Rafa thanks Daddy for his compassion. But he is warned that he will eventually marry his daughter. Rafa is relieved. At least he has a little break. Vicky wants to know why Daddy has to mess up her life and stomps off.
We see Lenora mopping the floor when Rafa calls her. He apologizes for not remembering her birthday. He tells her he is going to take her out to celebrate to a special place. She tells him that his not necessary. She says she has a great son. He has all these problems and still thinks about her.
Ale is still outside Jorges’ door and has been sitting there for hours. Tia tells her he is so stubborn he will not open the door. Ale says she will stay there for weeks if necessary. Jorge tells her she can sit there a life time and he wont open the door. He refuses food. Tia threatens to call the Dr. Ale begs. She tells him she adores him. She continues begging ( and my heart is breaking) as we see both of them crying. .
Salon scene, (and shame on all of you who skipped over this because you will see that it was quite key to our ending tonight). Lenora enters. They all are excited to see her. She tells them it is her birthday and she wants to get all fixed up as Rafa is taking her out. They are thrilled to do anything for the mother of sandwitchita. They will make her beautiful. She pulls out a picture that she wants her hair to look like. We don’t get to see the picture but from every ones reactions it probably isn‘t a good choice. Ovi tries to talk her into something more youthful. They finally agree to what Lenora wants and we see Lenora is all smiles.
Jaimie is out walking and is suddenly attacked by Vicky. She is whining about Rafa. He is out of work and has postponed the wedding. Jaimie tells her Rafa is just trying to do put things right. She tells Jaimie he can fix this. Then she starts (to steal a Melenama phrase) macking out on him. This time it looks like Jaimie is really enjoying it. She tells him not to leave her alone. She tells him He is the only one that can help her. Jaimie says this can’t happen and leaves a sobbing Vicky behind.
We still have our little battle of wills going on between Ale and Jorge. He is still in his room and she is still outside the door. Jorge is all upset because she never told him any of this. She tells him she didn’t say anything because she knew he would react like this. He continues on his rant and wants to know if Beltran knew who Rafa was. He continues on that none of this is the proper way to behave. Then we see Jorge clutching his chest and slumps over. Ale is frantic outside the door knocking to let her in.
Jorge sits up and his telling Ale she did a bad thing hiring that man. He says for his disgrace his heart is still beating. Ale continues to try and explain. She did it because she did not want him to have to sell his house. Rafa needed to pay them back and he needed a job.
She starts defending Rafa. She tells Jorge it was an accident. She goes on to say Rafa is a good man an honorable man and the best salesman We see food sitting beside the door. Ale tells him if you won‘t eat for me then I will leave. She pretends to leave and Jorge falls for it. He sneaks out and grabs the food with a hidden but smiling Ale looking on. (This was the sweetest scene).
Now we have Rafa and Jaimie at the neighborhood bar. Jaimie tells Rafa it couldn’t have been easy to break up with Vicky. Rafa wants to know how he knew that. Besides he didn’t break up, they just postponed the wedding. Jaimie confesses that Vicky told him. Jaimie is a twittering mess and talking a mile a minute. and Rafa wants to know what is up. Jaimie still twitting out screams for the drinks and downs it. Rafa tells him to calm down and wonders if he might not be drinking a bit much.
He finally calms down a bit and tells Rafa they need to have an adult conversation. He wants to know when the wedding will be back on with Vicky Rafa confesses that he still has feelings for Ale. Jaimie tells him that is a lost cause. Rafa wonders who decided to call the wedding off. Was it Marco or Ale. He hopes it was Ales decision. Jaimie encourages Rafa to call her.
We see Ale on her bed looking at her ring. The phone is ringing and she picks it up to see who it is. Tia walks in and want to know is it is Marco on the phone. Ale tells her no. She says she won’t answer it. Poor Ale, she just wants to make Jorge happy. Tia encourages her to call Marco. Ale refuses.
Marco continues on his drinking binge. We hear the door bell and Marco is thinking it is Chavez. (Okay who didn’t see this coming?) It is Claudia. Marco wants to know what she is doing there. She tells him she feels bad for what is going on. She feels responsible. She brought him a little cheering up gift. A new bottle of Vodka. Marco wants the scoop about what went on at Siglo. He wants to know about Rafa. Claudia tells him he quit.
Claudia wants to know what went on between Rafa and Ale. Marco tells her he saw them dancing cheek to cheek. Marco is distraught and Claudia is putting the moves on him. Poor Marco, she can’t imagine why anyone would do that to him.
We have a cute little Dandy and Susana scene. She is messaging his sore ankle. Dandy inquires about what happened to the deal., why Rafa quit and why the wedding is off. Susana says she can’t say anything about it. Dandy is offended that she does not trust him. She tells him it is not a question of confidence. Then Dandy admits that he cares for her. And each day he finds himself more in love with her. (Dandy is smitten for sure). Susana admits to the same feelings. Even though he eats meat. Now they are off and practicing some of those great yoga techniques of hers.
Back to Claudia and Marco. She is rubbing his temples. She wants to know if he is feeling any better. He tells her no and that he feels worse. She tells him Rafa has nothing compared to him. Marco swears he is going to destroy them both. The phone rings and it is Tia. Marco kicks Claudia out. (I sure didn’t see that one coming. He really is in bad straights.)
Tia tells Marco Jorge is destroyed. Marco tells her he can’t believe Ale betrayed him with such a guy as Rafa. Tia says nothing happened. It was just to close the deal. Marco says people don’t do things like that. She pleads for Marco to forgive Ale. Marco tells her he can’t. She continues to plead. Marco asks her if she thinks they can get through this. He confesses without Ale he is nothing. He seems very sincere about this. Tia tells him they are there for him. His pain is their pain. He thanks her for her help and hangs up. He continues drinking and looks like some forlorn lost puppy.
Vicky is talking with her friend Janet. She is whining about Rafa. Janet tells her to quit acting like the victim. She starts yelling at Vicky. It isn’t because he doesn’t care. He lost his job. She tells her to stop screaming at him all the time. She really lays into her. She tells her to leave him in peace. Then she calls her crazy crazy crazy. If you really love him treat him right. She tells Vicky to grow up. Rafa needs a woman not a child. (Way to go Janet!!!!)
Remember that little salon scene? Well now we see Rafa and Julieta and Lenora all out celebrating at a fancy restaurant. Now I get why the salon crew were hesitant about the photo Lenora brought in. She should have gone with the youthful look. Lenora is outraged with the prices. She would have been happy to just have tacos somewhere.
Now we spy the Refri guys with wives intact at the next table. They spy Rafa at the next table and want to know who the piñata is sitting next to him. They continue on mocking him. Rafa is oblivious to there presence. Juliette is suddenly aware that they are all looking there way and laughing . One of the guys at the Refri table says don’t worry vulgarity is not contagious.
Julieta tells Rafa she should go confront them for being so rude. He gets up and goes over to the table suddenly realizing it is the Refri group. He wants to know what is so funny.
And that is the end of our third marathon night. I might have messed a few things up, so feel free to correct and add.

Love the title. Yes, Leonora's hair reminded me of a large insect maybe a beetle. Marco is so distraught maybe he does love Ale, Nah, I think he just feels betrayed and has never been at the bad end of a deal. Usually he is the one taking advantage so this is a new experience for him to be had.
Off the watch C S since it's almost midnight. Thanks again, Pata.
GinCA
I hope Janet's advice has some impact on Vicki, but I fear not. She is such a nut case.
Here is another name for Marco - Scumbag! I was surprised he sent Claudia home and refused Chavez's offer to party. Maybe he does have some feelings for Ale.
I am sorry I missed Leonora's new hairdo. Hope to see it tonight.
Thanks
This was easier Melenama. I did it different. I typed like a madman while I was watching. If I thought I missed something I just typed in the counter time of my recorder. Then I went back to touch of my notes. I only rewatched the parts that I had indicated with the counter numbers.
I felt kind of bad doing that cuz I know I missed some good dialogue. Normally I go back and watch the entire show, stopping and rewinding if I missed something.
I love having two hours a night to watch. The recapping of two hours is another story. I must say by the end of all of this my typing skills are going to get quite good.
My stomach churned at the end watching all those creepy Refri guys making fun of Rafa and sweet Lenora. I hope Rafa punches them out tonight. However he is such a gentlemen we know that will not happen.
I also felt really bad for Marco even though he is such a jerk, you know his heart was broken, as well as his pride.
Chavez is ugly? I hadn't noticed. (ha ha.)
I will admit I have no compassion what so ever for Marino and I hope he is cursed with some awful Telenovela ending.
I was actually mad to see that the Refri guys and their wives had obviously reconciled (although I am sure a few of those marriages will eventually end in divorce) while Rafa and Ale's lives are in tatters over the whole thing. Yesterday I thought that Jorge would soften pretty easily about the whole Ale/Rafa thing, but it seems he is really upset that Ale would do something so underhanded and sleazy as having Rafa working at Siglo to pay back his debt to her with his commissions, without her boss's knowledge. She should have mentioned that the whole thing was originally Marco's (Marcelo's) idea. I'm sure soon the two of them will reconcile. It was a very heartbreaking and sweet scene with them on opposite sides of the door.
I don't feel one bit sorry for Marco and his hurt pride. He has planned on hurting Ale and her family from the beginning. I cared more about Chavez that time he and Marco broke up and Chavez was so hurt. :)
Loved your little asides about parachutes and coming down abruptly. Too true. Haven't seen this but looking forward to checking it out now.
Still feeling bad about the Refri business falling through, but NOT FEELING SORRY FOR MARCOS...NOT AT ALL.
However, love your kind and tender heart. Are you a vegetarian?
"Marge Simpson" was my first take on Rafa's mom hairdo. I'm wondering if this is the picture she brought with her to the salon. But the Refri guys were way out of line. I was so angry at them cheaters and their characterless wives.
I think Marco got to taste his own medicine and it serves him right. Though I have to disagree with you Pata. The biggest jerk is Marino and I'm repulsed as soon as he enters the screen.
A big eye opener in the last episodes was how lonely Ale is with her love to Rafa. Except for Susana everyone is is so tied up in their social standing. And I don't know what will it take to change Rosario's opinion about Marco. So far she has been the biggest cheerleader of his and Ale's wedding.
Melinama, I loved your Yiddish lesson. I'm hoping for more.
GinCA
Maria, I loved your Marge simpson comparison.(LOL) That is a perfect way to describe her hair. I was so thrown I didn't know how to describe it.
I am looking forward to the next few nights just watching and enjoying the show and reading and commenting on every one elses recaps.
Maybe Marco will come around when he finally figures out that Rafa and Ale were just pretending to be married to get the Refri guys to sign the contract. Hey, something Marco would do and be proud of. :)
Agree CHF, why would Leonora want hair like that. Seemed to be the sensible type. Hey, I think I would have went for tacos, too, or perhaps gorditas, or enchiladas, green chile stew, rellenos, getting hungry now.
Right now I would want a worse ending for Marino than for Marco. That could change.
Vivi, I was surprised too that the Refri guys had reconciled. I've been hoping the wives would somehow be after the hubbies and shame them enough to complete the deal. Guess that isn't coming, but still holding out for it.
I hope Rafa gives 'em h#ll tonight, or at least reminds the wives what scumbags (oh wait, that's Marco.. hmm, fits here to though) they are married to.
