Gancho Wednesday April 7th The Land of 1000 Dances
Hi, all. This is Kris's night, but she had tons of obligations, so I'm subbing. Sorry, no pictures, no vocab, but hopefully, lots of excitement. Here we go.
This is, of course, the night we've been waiting for. Mau is going to prove to the world (and Moni) what a vicious viper Hissy is. All he has to do is 1) somehow get Moni to the party, and 2) play the recording he made of Hissy admitting everything. Simple, huh? Let's see.
When last we left our loveable characters, Xime saw that Rolu was in a regular chair, not his wheelchair. Busted? No, Rolu says Arnie carried him there, and got mad at how heavy (pesado) Rolu was, so they argued. Yeah, really pesado, says Arnie (pesado also means “a pain in the butt”). Xime’s phone rings, and it’s Mau, who tells her the plan with Moni was a bust. Can she still get Moni to the party? Xime’ll try.
Gabi is calming down Jacqui (still in shock from Marcos’s wedding plans for Nieves) in the coffee room. Jacqui doesn’t like it when Gabi analyzes her problems, but is receptive to the idea of a chiropracter. While Gabi goes for the contact info, Jacqui remembers another method of stress reduction. She calls Consteño.
As Paula smells her flowers and Alejandra makes a face, the elevator door opens, revealing Beto and Coni, as Beto lets out a wolf yell, displaying his macho. Coni goes to talk to Marcos. Costi arrives for Jacqui’s therapy, and they decide to be bold and do it right in one of the offices. We then see Coni’s shadow in Marcos’s office. Marcos has agreed to buy her shares, but wants to know why she needs the money. She’s not telling, but wants the money in cash. He opens a briefcase, and there it is. He’ll send two security men and a chauffeur to make sure she gets it home.
Night falls, and Moni and Lobo are walking back to the vecindad, in great spirits. They’re about to go for some food, when in runs Xime, apologizing for the sack thing. She asks Moni to go to the office party, but Moni gets mad, and ends up scaring Xime off. Lobo doesn’t understand why Moni’s so mad, and Moni admits Xime’s not a bad person, but she has no desire to go the party. Lobo then suggests calling out for pizza. He’s certainly not going to get on Moni’s s-list, he’ll do whatever she wants.
Beto and Nieves are dressed for the party, he in a suit, she in a floor length black dress with a red feathered boa, with red feathers in her hair. Enter Cesar, also wearing red, he wants to talk, as Nieves hides behind her boy. Nieves has nothing to say to him, and walks out. Beto tells Cesar that Marcos is going to ask Nieves to marry him tonight, and Cesar is determined to stop this. Beto doesn’t think he has a chance. But the party might be fun. They’ll be a magician with a busty assistente, he remarks.
Moni pays for the pizza, sees a contrite Estrella in the distance. She insults Estrella telling her to go to the party with the novia she robbed, won’t listen to a word Estre says, and Estre leaves with a downtrodden face. This seems to affect Moni, and when Lobo opens the door, Moni’s not hungry anymore. In fact, she now feels like dancing. How about that party? Lobo looks confused, but I’m sure he’ll go.
We switch to the party, which is in a hotel or something, with lots of blue and red geometric shapes, lots of people sitting around. Coni’s looking especially hot in a little black dress with a pink carnation at her hip, one strap keeps falling down. Beto still thinks she’s making time with Lobo, but she says no way, and starts heating up her biscocho Beto with her trademark pouty lips. Estre is also wearing a black dress, but hers is a halter top with silver trim and hanging fringes, sort of a dressed up hippie look. Mau’s wearing a black sportscoat over a black and white striped open neck shirt. Some new guests arrive. It’s Moni and Lobo, she in a super sleek strapless short red dress, he in a suit and tie. Heads turn. Lobo and Mauricio eye each other. Moni smiles.
Well, Lobo and Mauricio recognize each other, since Mau’s a famous race car driver, and Lobo’s a famous boxer. They shake hands. Moni beams, Estre frowns.
Marcos argues with Jacqui (wearing a nice white long sleeved blazer over her white pantsuit outfit) about the money he gave Coni. What's Coni going to do with it? Jacqui criticizes him over his plans for Nieves. Neither gives ground. Paula (wearing a nice red dress with a ruffled neckline) and Tano (grey suit, silver tie) applaud something as Cris bumbles with plugging something in, shocking himself. He’s plugging in a laptop for Mau’s surprise recording of Isabel. Mau comes to check, and Cris thinks things are okay, but he may have erased everything. Mau is shocked, asks him to make sure. No, says Cris, there is a recording here (but which one?). Mau is relieved (uh oh), and goes off to make preparations for his dramatic announcement.
Gabi, looking nice in a black outfit, grabs the mike and welcomes the crowd to the event, as the band sets up behind her. She introduces Andrés, and Luisa is a bit impactada. As she sits demurely in her black and white spotted party dress, an irked Ivan crosses his arms at her side. Of course the song is directly about Luisa, saying “ I heard you’ve given me up, are loving another, but I know it’s a lie”. The beat kicks in, and the dance floor fills. Luisa says she didn’t know Andrés would be singing, but he IS good. Ivan doesn’t want to hear him, goes off for a drink and runs right into Alejandra, dressed in a hot orange chiffon dress. At first he’s hesitant, but decides to make Luisa jealous, and goes to dance with Ale.
Xime wants to dance, too. Too bad Rolu can’t, or can he? He says he can’t, so Arnie jumps in, HE’ll dance, and they jump up, and start to boogie, much to Rolu’s consternation. Marcos is dancing with Nieves, to Jacqui’s dismay. So many dances, so much jealousy, and we're just getting started.
Outside the Creaky, Creepy, Cabaña of Chaos, Jero and Oscar are inspecting a bottle of poison Oscar has obtained for Hissy. Jero compliments Oski on his efficiency. Oski reminds Jero how great he (Oscar) is, then says that Coni called, has the money. Jero volunteers to pick it up, but Oscar nixes that. He’s having someone else do it, doesn’t trust Jero.
Mau wistfully watches Moni and Lobo bop onto the dance floor. Beto and Coni feel the beat, too, and start to shake their assets, as Andrés continues to sing his Mentira song. But look -–Mau cuts right in and starts dancing with Moni. She’s furious about this, but he tries to calm her down, we’re just dancing. Well dance with THIS, she says, kneeing him in the groin. Twice. Go dance with your new noviacita, huh? She pushes him towards Estre. But as he sadly looks back, we see that she does have mixed feelings about all this.
A white car approaches outside the Castle of Calamity. Hissy gets out, and Oscar hands her the bottle of poison. She inquires how effective it is. It’s infallible, he replies. She goes to leave, but he says no, you owe me a debt, and now it’s time to collect it (cobrarlo). In the background, Aldo peeks out of the front door. His eyes go wide as he hears Hissy tell Oscar she’s not in debt just for this, but also for those small vials (ampolletas) he recommended that she used to sedate (sedar) Mauricio and Estrella. Thanks to that, my plan went perfectly (mi plan salió a pedir de boca). I was able to separate Valentina and Mauricio and end the ill-fated (nefasta) friendship between Estrella and Valentina. Aldo is muy impactado.
Andrés has finished singing, and Mau takes the stage in front of a huge screen. He thanks the attendees, many of them clients, stressing that “loyalty is one of our most important virtues.” He keeps talking about honesty, truth, then steers the conversation to him and Moni, saying he has the proof to demonstrate that her Mamá doesn’t love her honestly. Moni stands up, what are you talking about? Mau cues Cristian. Here’s the proof!. Cris presses the button, and the images fill the huge screen. But it's not Isabel! it’s Jacqui and Costeño, making out in the office, must have overwritten the other tape! Caray! Some are shocked, some are mad, some are amused (Xime), and some are sad, as we go to commercial.
Well, Jacqui’s really on the receiving end now. Coni points out how her Mom is always talking about avoiding scandals, not fraternizing with nacos, and look at her now! Xime thinks this is a great kind of therapy. Nieves has a few words of her own, why are you always messing with MY men (whoops, she’s admitted she was with Costeño, too!). Nieves! shouts Marcos. Beto covers with a lame excuse that Nieves knew Costi since he was a kid, he’s like her son. Marcos tells Jacqui she never stops doing ridiculous things in a vain attempt not to look older, and she CLOCKS him in the mouth! Moni angrily tells Mau, so this is your proof? Thanks a lot. She stalks away.
Inside the Dungy Dustbin of Delirium, Sal is on the sofa as Lorenza is writing something. Jero inquires what it is. The list of guests for her second wedding. Don’t forget the Blue Demon and the Silver Masked Man, quips Jerry. Oh, thanks, I had forgotten, replies Lori sincerely. They’re important. I’ll send a carrier pidgeon! She goes off to get one. Aldo enters, and breathlessly tells Sal what he heard. Isabel sedated Mau and Moni, it was all a big trap. My Dad was innocent all along! Sal gets up, you see, I told you! Aldo is very repentant, can't believe how wrong he was, feels terrible. Sal sagely tells him never to doubt his Dad. A few feet away, Jero muses, what kind of a deal could Oscar have with the Mamita de la Monita? He goes off to check.
So what do you want? asks Hissy. As Jerry pokes HIS head out the door, Oscar tells Hissy he’s wanted by the police, and he's going to receive a large sum of money from Constanza, but he wants Hissy to go get it, because he can’t trust Jerónimo. We see Jero's face in the background, hearing all. Oscar gives Hissy a red envelope containing proof of how Constanza killed Salvador. In case La Momia doesn’t pay, give this to the police. Hissy agrees to get the money for Oscar.
Back at the party, Lobo tells Moni that Costeño is his idol, how cool! They leave. Mau is down in the dumps, in a bit of shock, as Estrella tells him how Lobo is making all the right moves on Moni, and Moni may be vulnerable to this dirty dancing. Nieves comes over to tell Mau how she’s worried about the same thing, Lobo could try to bed Moni. This spurs Mau to action. He tells Ivan to take Luisa home, and goes off to make some other stupid mistake.
First, though, Marcos catches up to Moni and Lobo just outside the building. As Lobo goes for a taxi, Marcos tells Moni how all he wants to do is care for Moni. The only reason he acquired Grupo Sermeño was to secure the future for Moni and her sister. Moni says she doesn’t want his money, the company, and certainly not his love. She calls to Lobo and rushes away, leaving Marcos speechless.
Jero appears at Jacqui’s (Coni’s) place, but she’s not happy in the least, just what she needs (she says sarcastically) to cap off her day (cerrar el día de oro). He wants to talk to Coni. She’s not here, she’s at that party, where I was the laughing stock, I’ll never live it down, it was humiliating. Jero thinks she deserves it for scorning a guy as elegant (gallardo) as him. Jacqui gets all soft and vulnerable, you’re right, I was a fool. I’m so repentant, my pet. Could we try again, doll? Are you serious? Of course, she replies. Jero lights up, and lets out a “Jacquelinay!” They start with their doggie love. She stops him, asking if he came to pick up the money from Coni. You got it, he says. Well, she’s not here, but we can wait together, she says seductively. He likes this.
Marcos is now talking to Nieves. He wants to ask her something he should have said a long time ago. Nieves coquettishly plays with her boa, you couldn’t forget me, right? Right, and that’s why, says Marcos, in front of everyone present (although no one’s watching), I want to ask you….He gets out a little red box, opens it up, to reveal a ring, “Would you like to be my wife?” Nieves thinks the ring is a bit small (hah!).
Lobo and Moni are back in the barrio, and he coldly says goodnight. Moni is taken aback, what’s up? He says he doesn’t like being used. He could see there was something between Mauricio and her. And the whole night she used him to make Mau jealous. She apologizes, that was not her intention. He asks what is between her and Mau, and she says nothing, it’s a long story, but now, nothing. He reconsiders, asks if she wants him to help her forget, and out of the blue, lays a nice big, juicy kiss on her. OF COURSE, Mau walks in at just that moment!
Previews: Coni and Jero parry, Arnie and Rolu fight (and go a bit “overboard”) and Hissy tells Coni not only will she beat Moni in the ring, but on that very day, Valentina will die!
This is, of course, the night we've been waiting for. Mau is going to prove to the world (and Moni) what a vicious viper Hissy is. All he has to do is 1) somehow get Moni to the party, and 2) play the recording he made of Hissy admitting everything. Simple, huh? Let's see.

Hombre you are awesome for helping Kris out. Thanks!
Who was it suggested a Xime/Lobo pairing? He sure seemed entranced with her when she was trying to persuade Moni to go to the party. But then again he's a LOBO so what else do we expect?
Oh shoot, my dinner guests are here. Gotta dash and catch up later...

Bonus Hombre. Thanks for the recap Hombre.
"Creaky, Creepy, Cabaña of Chaos'
"Castle of Calamity"
"Dungy Dustbin of Delirium"
We're really starting to rack up names for Oscar's little hotel. Were there more? You were on a roll Hombre. :)
I was hoping perhaps they would have somehow still had the Hissy video, but you knew it couldn't be. My wife correctly guessed the video had to be Costeno and Jacqui.
I must say, that was about as understated of an outfit as we'll see on Nieves. Nice black dress with the red boa. And all she gets is a little ring. :)
Yeah right Moni, sure, you weren't using Lobo. Now there'll be lip lock until you confess. :)

Hombre,
Terrific of you to step in to help Kris out. Your list of cabana names is very creative -- how far can this game go? Just when I think all the possibilities are tapped our talented crew comes up with more.
Very fashionable crew tonight. Moni looked hot in that red number and yes Nieves looked quite elegant compared to her normal attire. Once again I loved her faces and her quick mood changes, especially the penitent pout when Beto hollered at her. And what a good save by Beto when she accused Jaqui of messing with all HER men.
Fun episode and a stellar & clever recap as always.

Hombre,
Thanks a million for jumping in with a terrific recap. Very well done. Very funny and chock full of details. You and Judy have certainly upped the ante on names for Oscar's place.
Chock full of clever observations. My personal favorite:
"This spurs Mau to action. He tells Ivan to take Luisa home, and goes off to make some other stupid mistake."
How apt.
Lots of great lines in the show. My favorite was from Nieves when Marcos produced the ring:
"¿Tan chiquito?"
Ya gotta love her.
Well, at least Aldo knows the truth. Maybe his druggie days are behind him. Now you guys get outta there and take Loriloca with you!
Carlos

Hombre:
What a great recap, and so fast too! You are so thorough! As to the Lobo y Estrella combo, I'll take credit for suggesting it.
I keep waiting for Rolu to finally come clean with Xime. She keeps teasing Rolu with Arnie but the big dolt just won't 'fess up.
You know Lobo is a lobo, he even looks a little lupine but Alexandra is a she-wolf I think. She sure is agressive in her intentions toward Ivan, no?
Sylvia, I look forward to hearing more from you later. I have work to finish tonight but I am on the recapping job tomorrow, as agreed.
I am with you Carlos. Rallying cries for the evening... Free Sal y Aldo! Get Loriloca some good meds! Out Rolu! I am tired of his lie. He is weak and a "pesado", for sure.

Thank you for the recap. I LOVE this show and I'm kicking myself for not following the recaps here all along!
Hissy -- good name for Isabel. I like that she's so different from the usual scene-chewing villainness. Instead she's all languid and keeps asking people not to talk. I hope she ends up taking her poison herself (oh dear, telenovelas have made me ruthless, haven't they).

Hombre, you are a prince of a guy to step in like that. I'm right there with Jeff, laughing at all your new names for Oscar's hideout, and just like Carlos, loved Mauricio "goes off to make some other stupid mistake".
And you DID provide vocabulary..."mi plan salió a pedir de boca" is an especially interesting phrase I think. One we can actually use (probably should stay away from all those juicy insults we hear).
A fun episode and I thought Jacqui carried off her embarrassing "reveal" with aplomb. The lady may say she's stressed, but I'd call her pretty unflappable.
Thanks again. We all appreciate you and I imagine Kris is already putting you in her will!

Carmel, amiga, how in the heck have you been? It's great to hear from you. We've been having a great time with this telenovela, that's for sure. It's fun to see Ana Martin in this role as opposed to the perpetually pissed off bruja who is always stabbing her knife into the table. The only thing that's missing is Gaspar, however since we are getting a lot of luchadors in this one that makes up for it.
Elna June, thanks again for covering for me tonight. You're numero uno!
OK, back to last night's show. Judy, how right you are about Jacqui, she really knows how to maintain her equilibrium when all eyes are on her. I thought Nieves piping up about Costi was the funniest thing ever. If Jacqui wants a boyfriend who hasn't been schooled by Nieves yet she'd better stick with Jero the hyper hound or go to Rome.
Everybody at the party looked fantastic. I guess the wardrobe dept opened their pocketbook for that one.

Excellent recap, it's like I was watching it again. thank you, I love this telenovela and am going to miss it. Does anyone know how many episodes are left? and, Ana Martin, did she win any awards for this part because she has been fantastic.

My info is hazy Nellie...we're in "ultimos capitulos" (or is it ultimas semanas"?) so we're nearing the end. And as far as I know, only the actor playing Beto received an award. But again, my info is hazy.
Speaking of Lobo, we've seen in many other telenovelas that they bring in some beautiful woman near the end (often a doctor), just to make you think the galan could stray, before he realizes he has to marry the leading lady, since the show's ending. So here, they have a guy fulfilling the same kind of role for Moni.
It was fun trying to come up with new names for Oscar's place.
EJ, you're right about Alejandra as a she-wolf. Can Ivan resist?
Carmel, thanks for the comments. ITA that Hissabel is a unique kind of villainess.
Judy, I just guessed on what salió a pedir de boca meant, since it was pretty obvious from the context. This morning I looked it up, and it does mean went according to plan, worked out just right, etc. Literally, went out as asked by the mouth, I guess.
Nellie, I think this was episode 202 of 220.

It's a very interesting idiom, Hombre. In other words you're getting exactly what you asked for (which seldom happens in real life) in some ways it makes me think of our saying "just what the doctor ordered". Similar ideas. Language is so colorful and fascinating. We become blunted to the wonder of our own language sometimes, but discover the freshness of speech when we study other idioms. For me, this is one of the gifts of learning Spanish...rediscovering what an incredible and versatile tool words and verbal images can be.
JudyB:
You know, sometimes the only way to say thanks in Gancholand is to send un abrazo. Un abrazo to you, JudyB, for your beautiful description of the wonder of words and the joy of learning a new language.

Blogmom, I vote that as a sidebar quote.

Hombre, just came to work after a very long meeting. This was stellar - I wasn't able to see the actual party but felt the excitement of it from your amazing recap.
Jeff, Carlos and Judy noted most of your wonderful phrases. Fantastic!
Carlos, this is the moment of truth. Now that Hissy has revealed to Coni her intention to kill her own daughter, what will Coni do? I know there is a heart because she loves Beto. But is there a conscience?
Sylvia, you will be missed! Looking forward to your recap EJ.

What a party!
Not too sure about Mauricio's planning. Even if the video reveal had worked as planned, is this really the sort of laundry they want to air in front of their clients?
Ivan may be older, but he is not mature enough for Luisa. Should have just danced with her instead of acting like a petulant baby about a situation she already made very clear, that Andres is only a friend to her.
So, when Nieves was dressed for the thwarted wedding of Mau and Valentina, she was actually wearing quite tasteful earrings with that eye-searing ensemble. Last night, her clothes were relatively restrained, but her earrings were colorful little sneakers. She just can't not wear something kooky. I always look forward to seeing what new earrings the wardrobe people have come up with.

Gosh EJ. Thanks. I'm basking in those words and that abrazo. Muchas gracias, amiga. Looking forward to your recap later on.
Hombre, thanks for helping out a fellow Gancholander with time issues! "Land of 1000 Dances" and they only highlighted three or four!
I wish the places that I have worked were as fun and inventive as Grupo Sermeño. The company presentations that I have had the joy to attend usually consist of pie charts and grafts.
Lobo, thanks to you for tagging Monita on her high school plot to make Mauricio jealous, astuteness is rare in our novelas!! Maybe that is why Julia likes you!!!

Our division manager has a profound love of bizarrely nonsensical metaphors, which he makes the graphics department create animated drawings and diagrams to illustrate. Also, when he's showing the bar graphs of billings and earnings by month, he has an animated thunderstorm for any down times.
The other managers have a tendency to play rock music while showing their project picture montages, with songs selected to go with some theme they have in mind.
Fortunately, they often give us pie (or cheesecake) to eat while showing the graphs.
I've yet to see surveillance video of scandalous exploits on the screen at a work meeting. Maybe I should stay awake better in case that ever happens.

Julia...I love your work stories. Never knew engineering work could be so...colorful. Sounds like an interesting group. Anybody look even a little bit like Lobo/Eduardo? Just sayin'.
