Dinero # 105 & 106 05/19/10 Jorge takes a taxi ride / Ale gets a new wake up service
Chapter #105 Jorge takes a taxi ride
We start out with Jorge and Ruby. He wants to know if she has gotten his taxi. Ruby is not really certain about this. He tells her he is not asking for permission. Ruby is worried that Rosario will get mad at her. He tells her not to worry Rosario is out with Quintana and won’t find out. Ruby tells him she will go with him. He tells her to forget about that. It is something he has to do alone. She finally talks him into letting her accompany him at least until he gets to where he needs to go.
A very happy Susana tells Dandy she will wait for him in the car. He tells her he has talked to Marino and nobody will disclose details about their romance. Susana tells Dandy that Marino is the last person she would trust. Dandy agrees and warns her that they have to let Ale and Rafa know they have to be careful because Marino would do anything possible to get them fired. Susana tells him not to worry nothing will happen with them.
Rafa and Ale are in the conference room at Siglo working. Ale’s phone rings and it is Marco. He starts bugging her and wants to know if she is “with him”. He wants her to come home. We see Rafa listening in.
She asks Rafa if she can leave. She has an appointment with Marco. Rafa sarcastically wants to know if Marco is working on more embargos. Ale wants to know what he is talking about. He tells her about Marcos little visits. Ale assures him she had nothing to do with that, but Rafa tells her Marco said it was her idea. Ale looks quite surprised at this news and promises Rafa she will get to the bottom of it.
Ale insists she needs to go home. Rafa asks her what’s more important “your boyfriend or work?” Ale sits down and we get a flashback from the good ole days when Vicky would call and insist Rafa come home and Ale said the same thing to Rafa. Then she asks Rafa if this is revenge. Rafa asks her if she really thinks he is just trying to get even. He assures her it is about work. Ale says okay then lets get back to work.
We see Vicky getting ready to leave her house and the Brothers’ Grim are not having any of this. They want to be fed. She tells them to learn how to cook, calls them savages and leaves.
Jorge and Ruby have arrived at Rafas’ house in a taxi. Ruby is worried about leaving him alone in such an unsafe neighborhood. Jorge assures her he will be fine, he knows what he is doing. He gives her money for the ride back. Ruby is off to her “night job” and Jorge is off to have a man to man. He approaches the door and gets himself all ready to rumble with this ruffian if need be.
Lenora answers the door and sees a confused Jorge. He can’t quite seem to remember Rafas’ name and after a few attempts gets it right and asks if Rafa lives here. Lenora tells him yes but that he is still at work. Jorge decides to wait outside and Lenora insists he wait indoors. After all it is cold and she would not want him to get sick. Jorge coughing tells her “me get sick? No way.” She finally convinces him to come in.
Jorge introduces himself to Lenora. Lenora hearing his name wants to know if he has any connection to Ale. He tells her he is Ales’ father. Lenora is concerned that there is a problem and Jorge tells her that is why he needs to talk with Rafa.
Rafa and Ale are still hard at work when Ales’ phone rings again. She asks Rafa for permission to answer it. Rafa shoots her an Ale look and tells her to go ahead. (This was a cute role reversal scene). Marco now playing the part of Vicky is bugging Ale to get home. Ale is now playing the part of Rafa and trying to calm down an out of control jealous boyfriend. He tells her to get home now. He is not going to suffer a second betrayal. Ale hangs up and lays it on the line with Rafa. She tells him she is leaving now and that’s that. I think she says something about go ahead and fire me. Rafa stands and tells her he is not going to fire her. He tells her he needs her. Ale turns staring at him and Rafa stutters I need you for this work. Ale tells him they will talk in the morning.
Rafa tells her to drive carefully and of course Ale gets all snotty with him telling him she drives careful. It’s those who drink and drive you have to be careful of. (She will not give this a rest). She leaves Rafa with a very frustrated look on his face.
Lenora is worried about Jorge’s visit. She does not want any more problems with lawyers and police trying to seize her house. Jorge is surprised to hear this. He tells her he didn’t know anything about lawyers and such.
As Ale is about to get into her car we see Vicky pull up in a taxi. Vicky realizes this is the infamous Ale and walks over to Ale’s car and gets in. Ale looks like the devil has just got in her car. She asks her who she is. And Vicky tells her. Ale has to think about this for a second and says “ Vicky. Rafas’ girlfriend.?” Vicky answers “the same”.
An outraged Ale wants to know what she wants. Vicky tells her to quit messing with her life. Ale assures Vicky she has no intention of messing with her life. Vicky accuses Ale of trying to take her man and sleeping with him. Ale tells her wait a minute sister, is that what Rafa told you. Vicky tells her no, but wants to know what’s up with all the nice words and recites by heart the entire letter of recommendation Ale wrote for Rafa. Ale shoots her a look of disbelief and sarcastically tells her she has a great memory. Then she informs Vicky that it was just a professional letter of recommendation. She tells her she is wrong if she interpreted it any other way. Vicky tells her she has no right to say those things to someone who is engaged.
Ale tells Vicky she is tired of this and tells her to get out of her car. She starts to turn the ignition when Vicky reaches over to stop her and tells Ale she is tired of her. Ale tells her she is getting all worked up over a letter of recommendation. Vicky informs Ale that is not the only thing bugging her and whips out the ripped Ale photo and screams “This is what has me worried and you don‘t know what I am capable of.” (Run Ale run!!!) Ale looks terrified.
A now, more composed Ale asks Vicky what she’s doing with the picture and reaches out for it. Vicky snaps it away from her and says “why would you want it. As a memory of the time you had singing with my Rafa?” Ale continues looking at Vicky as if she was crazy. Then Vicky confirms Ale’s accusation of insanity and pulls out the picture of her and Rafa with his trophy and sticks it on Ale’s rear view mirror. She makes it very clear to Ale that she has a solid relationship with Rafa and to leave him alone. Ale tells her to get out of her car. Vicky continues screaming that they are going to get married and Ale isn’t going to take him away from her.
Ale rips into her and calls her a possessive, obsessive child. Vicky screams back telling her not to mess with her man and storms out of the car. Ale looks after her calling her crazy and muttering to herself this is all I need. Vicky rolls up her sleeves and goes over to Siglo and starts pounding on the glass screaming for Rafa to open the door. (It is a good thing she didn’t bring the bat).
Ale shows up at Marcos’ apartment. He is not happy about the late hour and they get into a big fight about Rafa. He is not happy that she is working with him again. Ale assures him it is only for a month. Marco tells Ale that Rafa is trying to mess up their life. He blames Rafa for all the changes between them. Ale assures him nothing will change. Marco tells her it already has. He tells her to look at today. She had to stay there all day with him. Ale tells him it is just work. Marco accuses her of making Siglo the center of her life. Then he says don’t tell me you were there all day just working. This sets Ale off and tells him they need to talk. Then she brings up the fact that he went to Rafa’s house and to his work place to seize his house. (Marco she knows!!)
Now Jorge is finding out as well from Lenora what Marco has been up to in his spare time. Jorge can’t believe his daughter would behave like that. No one told him anything about this.
Marco is offended that Ale is accusing him of doing wrong. Ale tells him what he did was wrong. He accuses her of being on Rafas’ side. He tells her he has been there for her and has done everything for her. Ale assures him she appreciates everything he has done for her. Marco feigning indigence tells her the only thing left to do is stop representing her case against Rafa.
Ramiro has an appointment with his sex therapist. This is not one of my favorite random scenes, so this is all I am going to say about that. You guys can use your imagination for the rest
Marco and Ale are still discussing the whole Rafa issue. Marco is still offended. Ale finally tells him all she wants is for him to talk to her first before he does anything else. He sarcasticly tells her she never consulted with him the fact she was going back to Siglo. He is on a roll and Ale, defeated, finally says to him “I have done what I could. I have tried to explain things to you and I can’t” and she goes to leave.
Marco screaming, wants to know where she is going. She tells him she is going home. He tells her they haven’t finished yet and she remarks that they have finished because he doesn’t want to listen. He doesn’t want to look for a solution. All he wants is for her to leave Siglo and she tells him she won’t do that. She won’t quit work so he can take care of her and walks out the door.
Marco goes after her and stops her. He tells her she doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what to do, but he doesn’t want to loose her. He confesses his love and says all of this is making him crazy. He tells her Rafa is ruining his life. He is now down on his knees begging. Poor Ale distraught, stands there reluctantly allowing leachy Marco to cling to her.
Jorge tells Lenora that he will talk to Ale and Marco. He tells her that they have made an unjust mistake and needs to apologize for this. As they are talking Juliette bursts into the house and Lenora introduces her to Jorge. She seems a little surprised that he is there and wants to know what they are up to now. Jorge assures her it is not what she thinks. He just wants to talk to Rafa.
Lenora and Jorge continue to visit. They discuss the woes of raising daughters. Jorge tells Lenora his wife left. Lenora wants to know where. Jorge is no longer a part of this conversation and says huh? Returning to present time he tells her “she is no longer here” and points up. Lenora figures it out and confirms he is a widow (viuda). He wants to know about her husband and she tells him he left too. Jorge wants to know if he is dead and Lenora tells him he left the house along time ago and she has no idea where he is. She tells him Rafa now takes care of them. He tells him how hard Rafa works to make sure Juliette gets an education. He would never allow Lenora to work. She also reminds him of the huge amount of money he has to pay them every month. Jorge looks truly shocked and tells her he had no idea how much he was paying each month.
Ale tells Marco he can’t continue doing this to Rafa and his family. Marco sarcastically tells her “yea especially now that he is your boss.” She reminds Marco that it will be a long time before Rafa pays them off. They have to deal with this diplomatically. Marco is still fixated on the idea that Ale will be spending her days with Rafa. She tells him it is just for work and will be only for one month. She is pleading with him and asks him what she needs to do so he won’t be so anxious.
Rafa arrives home and is surprised to see Jorge in his living room chatting with Lenora. Jorge tells him he came to talk with him “Man to man”. Rafa takes Lenora aside and hands her money with instructions of what to do with it. Jorge is taking all of this in. Rafa asks Jorge how he got there and Jorge informs him he came in a taxi. He asks Jorge if his family knows where he is. Jorge lies and assures him they do.
Rosario has entered her house with Quintana. He tells her not worry about the taxes they owe on the house. Marco will take care of this. Rosario excuses herself to check on Jorge. Quintana advises her to not tell Jorge they were at his house. He doesn’t want Jorge to have another heart attack.
Jorge and Rafa get down to business. Jorge tells Rafa he wants him to leave Ale alone. Rafa is puzzled by this. He reminds Rafa that now that he is back at Siglo Ale will be working for him. He tells him this has caused big problems for Marco and Ale and he can’t allow that. Rafa confirms that Jorge is well aware of the entire situation and why Rafa was hired at Siglo in the first place. He tells Jorge he had no intentions of returning to Siglo but they made him a great offer. After all he has this huge debt he has to pay back to them.
Jorge tells Rafa that Lenora has told him all about Marcos’ shenanigans and promises this will not happen again. He tells Rafa that he didn’t come to talk about money or work. He came to talk about the relationship between him and Ale.
Rosario has now discovered that Jorge is not home. She is all worried. Quintana tells her to relax he is probably out and about with Ruby. Rosario doubts that he would be out this late at night.
Jorge tells Rafa he knows all about Puerto Vallarta and what went on there. Rafa looks surprised and asks if Ale told him. Jorge tells him he just found out and is indignant about it. He reminds Rafa that Ale is engaged. He tells Rafa that all of this business has really confused Ale and has caused much anguish with his family. It would be best if Rafa just left her alone. He pleads with Rafa to let her be.
Chapter #106 Ale gets a new wake up service
Back at casa Rafa, Rafa tries to explain to Jorge and Jorge cuts him off telling him he is not interested in what happened. He tells him he is not leaving until he promises to leave Ale alone. Rafa promises and they shake on it.
We flash to Marco and Ale where Marco is pleading with Ale to promise that what happened in Puerto Vallarta won’t happen again. He is all worried about her being alone with Rafa 24 hours a day. She promises him she will maintain the least amount of contact possible. She informs Marco that this isn’t going to be very pleasant for her neither. The look on her face tells us something different.
Rafa promises Jorge the same and tells him he will not insinuate himself in Ale’s intimate life. He will respect Jorge’s wishes. Jorge tells him he believes in his word.
Marco makes Ale promise him she won’t leave him. She promises. He goes in for a kiss and Ale is saved by the bell. Her phone rings. It is Rosario informing her that Jorge is missing. Ale tells her she will be right there.
Ale wants to know if he has the phone number of the nurse. Marco says no. Urdiales has that information. Ale is quite distraught and Marco tells her she cant leave like that and offers to go with her. She tells him to call Urdiales. We see Marco trying to think fast on how to resolve the Urdiales problem.
Jorge makes Rafa promise this will be between them. “Man to man“. Rafa tells him he can count on that. Rafa will not let him leave alone in a taxi. He asks Lenora to call for a taxi. Lenora thinks it is a little strange to call a taxi for him alone. Rafa tells her he is sure he escaped without telling anyone. He says he will accompany him.
Vicky returns home. The brothers have found some food. They tell her that papa has gone to bed with an empty stomach and there is no telling how he will be in the morning. Vicky tells them to not bug her now she‘s busy. They want to know what would be more important than their stomachs. She tells them that her boyfriend hasn‘t shown up and they know how sad that makes Vicky. (if not just a bit crazy as well) She gives them a very terrifying face.
Marco is lying to Ale and tells her that Urdiales’ cell phone is off. He doesn’t know the number to his house and that he is probably asleep. He promises her tomorrow first thing he will get all the information they need about Ruby. (Smooth). Ales phone rings and she takes a look and quickly turns it off. Marco is ticked thinking it is probably Rafa. Ale brushes this off and tells him it is the office.
Vicky now on the phone with Lenora wants to know if she knows anything about Rafa. He hasn’t called, he hasn’t shown up. Lenora tells her he is home but is busy. Vicky wants to know busy with what or who. At this moment Jorge starts talking to Lenora and nosey pants Vicky wants to know who is there. “Who is this Jorge guy?” Lenora tells her it is the Senor Jorge that has come to talk with Rafa. Vicky not as dumb as she looks, wants to know if he has any connection to Ale. Lenora very nervously says yes but she has to go. She says she will have Rafa call her later and hangs up.
Vicky wanders what he would be talking to Rafa for. The brothers are getting a little anxious as well. They tell her to spill the beans. She says Ale’s dad is arranging something with her Rafa. They want to know what woman is she talking about and what arrangement. She pulls out Ale’s picture to show them. The brothers start drooling over Ale’s picture. They are sure she is “worth her weight in meat.”
She screams at them snatching the picture back and tells them she is sure that Rafa is asking for Ale’s hand in marriage. Big brother tells her no way he saw her first. He corrects himself quickly and says this can’t be because he asked you to marry him first. Vicky screams at them and says “that’s what I am telling you idiot!!” She is not going to let this happen. The brothers agree and tell her they need to go check out what’s going on. They all storm off. Hopefully they are not packing any knifes.
Ale, Marco and Rosario are outside their house all worried about Jorge. They want Marco to call the police. Marco assures them that Jorge is fine and Ruby wouldn’t let anything happen to him. Ale and Rosario are not so sure about this. After all they don’t know anything about Ruby. Ale doesn’t understand why Marco is so calm about all of this. Her phone rings again. Marco wants to know who it is and Ale lies and says it is the office again. We see Rafa hanging up his phone. Jorge’s taxi has arrived and Rafa tells him he will accompany him. Jorge seems a little nervous about this and Rafa assures him he will leave him at his door and nothing more.
Vicky and the goon squad are just rounding the corner as Rafa and Jorge make a quick exit. Vicky is screaming and Lenora is left alone with them with a worried look on her face.
Ale is telling Marco to call the police as Rafa and Jorge pull up in a taxi. Marco is livid and goes off on Rafa. Jorge isn’t having any of this and tells him to calm down. He tells Marco Rafa has behaved very well. Ale wants to know where he has been. Jorge yells at Marco and Ale and says he doesn’t want to talk to them and walks past them into the house.
Ale asks Rafa what that was all about. Rafa tells her Jorge showed up at his house. He tried to call her but no one answered. Rafa tells them he couldn’t just let him come back on his own. Ale thanks him. Marco wants to know why they should thank him. He wants to know why Jorge would go see that jerk. Rafa excuses himself and leaves. Marco is ticked and says he is going to find out what’s going on and goes into the house. As Rafa leaves Rosario says “that’s Rafa?“ smiling. Ale smiling back says yes that’s Rafa. Marco comes back out screaming at them. As they go in the house he is alone outside yells “Rafa you are going to pay for this.“
Jorge is chewing them all out for treating Rafa and his family so badly. Marco can’t believe this. Jorge is defending the guy that caused all of their problems. Jorge continues scolding them and says they have no right to show up at his house at the end of every month like they have been. Ale agrees with him. Jorge tells Marco they need to give him at least one day of grace before they demand payment. Marco is indignant and accuses Jorge of being on Rafa’s side. Jorge says he is on the side of justice and bids them all good night.
Marco and Ale are now discussing the tax problems. Marco tells Ale that he has been working on it all day and hasn’t come up with a solution. He tells her they have to leave the house tomorrow. He will look for a place for them tomorrow.
Lenora is telling Vicky off. Her and Juliette tell her she is all wrong about why Jorge showed up. They assure her Rafa isn’t having an affair with Ale. Vicky isn’t buying this. What about the picture and the letter. Lenora is loosing patience and reminds them that Don Gaston told her the next time they showed up at her house pestering them to call the police. The brothers remember this as well and haul Vicky kicking and screaming, out of the house. After they leave Juliette says Rafa needs to leave Ale alone because these butchers are serious.
Ale is telling Marco to calm down. Marco says don’t tell me to calm down when your dad shows up at that Ruffians house. Ale tells him to quit messing with Rafa and his family. Ale wants to know if he is jealous. This doesn’t sit well with Marco. She tells him Rafa is not a bad man. Marco says he is trying to steal Jorge’s affections. She assures him he is not trying to take Marco’s place. Marco tells her “Rafa won’t take my place unless you let him“. Ale begs him to stop with all of this. Marco tells her to swear he won’t take his place. She does. He tells her he will see her tomorrow and they can figure out what to do about the house. After he leaves, Ale prays to God that they won’t loose the house.
Rafa has returned home and Lenora fills him in on the whole Vicky mess. She tells him Vicky thought Jorge was here to talk about marriage with Ale. Lenora warns Rafa about the problems he could get into with not only Vicky’s family but with Ale’s as well. Lenora wants to know what Jorge wanted to talk to him about. He tells her that he didn’t like the idea of Ale working with the guy that caused her accident. Lenora is worried that he will have problems working at Siglo. He tells her not to worry. He then says to himself it is only one month.
Cutest scene of the entire night, Ale is asleep and her phone rings. It is her new answering service. No not really. It is Rafa. Ale answers and wants to know why he is calling so early. We see Rafa all dressed and ready to leave. He tells her she needs to get moving they have work to do. This was so funny as Ale would do this to Rafa when he first started working at Siglo.
Rosario enters her room and wants to know who could be calling so early. Ale is rushing around getting ready. She tells her he is just paying her back for all the times she called him early in the morning. She swears it is only for a month. She promised Marco this.
We have a salon scene. Poor skinny guy has a migraine. He overdosed on chocolate. He ate a ton of it. (I do enjoy the salon scenes and I promise once these two hour marathons are over I will include more detail about them in the recaps, but sorry folks tonight this is all you get.)
Rafa has arrived at Siglo and is raring to go. Susan greets him. She informs him that Ale told her she will be his secretary. Rafa assures her he doesn’t need a secretary. He is use to doing things on his own. He tells her he has never had a secretary in his life. Susana smiles and tells him she could at least answer the phone for him.
I am sure when Susana said she would answer his phone she had no idea what she was getting into. The phone rings. It is Vicky. She gives poor Susana the third degree. Vicky wants details. She wants to know how old she is. Is she pretty? Does she have a boyfriend ? And on and on ….. Susana says look madam and Vicky corrects her “Miss” “Madam would be Ale.” She is Miss. Susana tired of all this but still polite says she will connect her with Rafa. Vicky informs her he is Mr. Medina. She tells Susana exactly how things are going to be. They will talk more letter and she will explain exactly what her functions will be with her finance. Poor Susana.
Susana goes to the conference room and addressees Rafa as “Licenciado Medina”. Rafa tells her she doesn’t have to address him like that. She smiles and tells him he has a call from Vicky. Rafa tells her to tell Vicky he is busy and will call back later. Susana begs him not to make her talk to her again and informs him about the Vicky inquisition. Rafa apologizes and tells her to pass the call to his cell.
Rafa answers. Vicky is on a roll. She tells him not to tell her he is busy. She accuses him of not having a heart. She is very dramatic. Rafa tells her not to exaggerate. He tells her he knows all about her visit to his house last night. She wants to know why Jorge was at his house. He tells her they were talking about the debt he owes Ale. Just like Lenora told her last night. Vicky hysterical now, says that better be all. And lets hope this new job doesn’t imply you need to be there 24 hours a day. You need time for yourself and for me. Rafa assures her they will have more time. A slightly calmer Vicky says okay, then what time will you be home today. He tells her when he leaves work he will go straight to her house. Vicky now all smiles says okay, and asks him for a little whistle. Rafa complies.
Vicky hangs up and goes ballistic. “This cant’ be this can’t be.” She is on one fine rant. There is no way she is going to permit that witch Ale to steal her Rafa. Be forewarned Ale!!!!
We start out with Jorge and Ruby. He wants to know if she has gotten his taxi. Ruby is not really certain about this. He tells her he is not asking for permission. Ruby is worried that Rosario will get mad at her. He tells her not to worry Rosario is out with Quintana and won’t find out. Ruby tells him she will go with him. He tells her to forget about that. It is something he has to do alone. She finally talks him into letting her accompany him at least until he gets to where he needs to go.
A very happy Susana tells Dandy she will wait for him in the car. He tells her he has talked to Marino and nobody will disclose details about their romance. Susana tells Dandy that Marino is the last person she would trust. Dandy agrees and warns her that they have to let Ale and Rafa know they have to be careful because Marino would do anything possible to get them fired. Susana tells him not to worry nothing will happen with them.
Rafa and Ale are in the conference room at Siglo working. Ale’s phone rings and it is Marco. He starts bugging her and wants to know if she is “with him”. He wants her to come home. We see Rafa listening in.
She asks Rafa if she can leave. She has an appointment with Marco. Rafa sarcastically wants to know if Marco is working on more embargos. Ale wants to know what he is talking about. He tells her about Marcos little visits. Ale assures him she had nothing to do with that, but Rafa tells her Marco said it was her idea. Ale looks quite surprised at this news and promises Rafa she will get to the bottom of it.

We see Vicky getting ready to leave her house and the Brothers’ Grim are not having any of this. They want to be fed. She tells them to learn how to cook, calls them savages and leaves.
Jorge and Ruby have arrived at Rafas’ house in a taxi. Ruby is worried about leaving him alone in such an unsafe neighborhood. Jorge assures her he will be fine, he knows what he is doing.

Marco and Ale are still discussing the whole Rafa issue. Marco is still offended. Ale finally tells him all she wants is for him to talk to her first before he does anything else. He sarcasticly tells her she never consulted with him the fact she was going back to Siglo. He is on a roll and Ale, defeated, finally says to him “I have done what I could. I have tried to explain things to you and I can’t” and she goes to leave.
Marco screaming, wants to know where she is going. She tells him she is going home. He tells her they haven’t finished yet and she remarks that they have finished because he doesn’t want to listen. He doesn’t want to look for a solution. All he wants is for her to leave Siglo and she tells him she won’t do that. She won’t quit work so he can take care of her and walks out the door.
Marco goes after her and stops her. He tells her she doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what to do, but he doesn’t want to loose her. He confesses his love and says all of this is making him crazy. He tells her Rafa is ruining his life. He is now down on his knees begging. Poor Ale distraught, stands there reluctantly allowing leachy Marco to cling to her.
Jorge tells Lenora that he will talk to Ale and Marco. He tells her that they have made an unjust mistake and needs to apologize for this. As they are talking Juliette bursts into the house and Lenora introduces her to Jorge. She seems a little surprised that he is there and wants to know what they are up to now. Jorge assures her it is not what she thinks. He just wants to talk to Rafa.
Lenora and Jorge continue to visit. They discuss the woes of raising daughters. Jorge tells Lenora his wife left. Lenora wants to know where. Jorge is no longer a part of this conversation and says huh? Returning to present time he tells her “she is no longer here” and points up. Lenora figures it out and confirms he is a widow (viuda). He wants to know about her husband and she tells him he left too. Jorge wants to know if he is dead and Lenora tells him he left the house along time ago and she has no idea where he is. She tells him Rafa now takes care of them. He tells him how hard Rafa works to make sure Juliette gets an education. He would never allow Lenora to work. She also reminds him of the huge amount of money he has to pay them every month. Jorge looks truly shocked and tells her he had no idea how much he was paying each month.
Ale tells Marco he can’t continue doing this to Rafa and his family. Marco sarcastically tells her “yea especially now that he is your boss.” She reminds Marco that it will be a long time before Rafa pays them off. They have to deal with this diplomatically. Marco is still fixated on the idea that Ale will be spending her days with Rafa. She tells him it is just for work and will be only for one month. She is pleading with him and asks him what she needs to do so he won’t be so anxious.
Rafa arrives home and is surprised to see Jorge in his living room chatting with Lenora. Jorge tells him he came to talk with him “Man to man”. Rafa takes Lenora aside and hands her money with instructions of what to do with it. Jorge is taking all of this in. Rafa asks Jorge how he got there and Jorge informs him he came in a taxi. He asks Jorge if his family knows where he is. Jorge lies and assures him they do.
Rosario has entered her house with Quintana. He tells her not worry about the taxes they owe on the house. Marco will take care of this. Rosario excuses herself to check on Jorge. Quintana advises her to not tell Jorge they were at his house. He doesn’t want Jorge to have another heart attack.
Jorge and Rafa get down to business. Jorge tells Rafa he wants him to leave Ale alone. Rafa is puzzled by this. He reminds Rafa that now that he is back at Siglo Ale will be working for him. He tells him this has caused big problems for Marco and Ale and he can’t allow that. Rafa confirms that Jorge is well aware of the entire situation and why Rafa was hired at Siglo in the first place. He tells Jorge he had no intentions of returning to Siglo but they made him a great offer. After all he has this huge debt he has to pay back to them.
Jorge tells Rafa that Lenora has told him all about Marcos’ shenanigans and promises this will not happen again. He tells Rafa that he didn’t come to talk about money or work. He came to talk about the relationship between him and Ale.
Rosario has now discovered that Jorge is not home. She is all worried. Quintana tells her to relax he is probably out and about with Ruby. Rosario doubts that he would be out this late at night.
Jorge tells Rafa he knows all about Puerto Vallarta and what went on there. Rafa looks surprised and asks if Ale told him. Jorge tells him he just found out and is indignant about it. He reminds Rafa that Ale is engaged. He tells Rafa that all of this business has really confused Ale and has caused much anguish with his family. It would be best if Rafa just left her alone. He pleads with Rafa to let her be.
Chapter #106 Ale gets a new wake up service
Back at casa Rafa, Rafa tries to explain to Jorge and Jorge cuts him off telling him he is not interested in what happened. He tells him he is not leaving until he promises to leave Ale alone. Rafa promises and they shake on it.
We flash to Marco and Ale where Marco is pleading with Ale to promise that what happened in Puerto Vallarta won’t happen again. He is all worried about her being alone with Rafa 24 hours a day. She promises him she will maintain the least amount of contact possible. She informs Marco that this isn’t going to be very pleasant for her neither. The look on her face tells us something different.
Rafa promises Jorge the same and tells him he will not insinuate himself in Ale’s intimate life. He will respect Jorge’s wishes. Jorge tells him he believes in his word.
Marco makes Ale promise him she won’t leave him. She promises. He goes in for a kiss and Ale is saved by the bell. Her phone rings. It is Rosario informing her that Jorge is missing. Ale tells her she will be right there.
Ale wants to know if he has the phone number of the nurse. Marco says no. Urdiales has that information. Ale is quite distraught and Marco tells her she cant leave like that and offers to go with her. She tells him to call Urdiales. We see Marco trying to think fast on how to resolve the Urdiales problem.
Jorge makes Rafa promise this will be between them. “Man to man“. Rafa tells him he can count on that. Rafa will not let him leave alone in a taxi. He asks Lenora to call for a taxi. Lenora thinks it is a little strange to call a taxi for him alone. Rafa tells her he is sure he escaped without telling anyone. He says he will accompany him.
Vicky returns home. The brothers have found some food. They tell her that papa has gone to bed with an empty stomach and there is no telling how he will be in the morning. Vicky tells them to not bug her now she‘s busy. They want to know what would be more important than their stomachs. She tells them that her boyfriend hasn‘t shown up and they know how sad that makes Vicky. (if not just a bit crazy as well) She gives them a very terrifying face.
Marco is lying to Ale and tells her that Urdiales’ cell phone is off. He doesn’t know the number to his house and that he is probably asleep. He promises her tomorrow first thing he will get all the information they need about Ruby. (Smooth). Ales phone rings and she takes a look and quickly turns it off. Marco is ticked thinking it is probably Rafa. Ale brushes this off and tells him it is the office.
Vicky now on the phone with Lenora wants to know if she knows anything about Rafa. He hasn’t called, he hasn’t shown up. Lenora tells her he is home but is busy. Vicky wants to know busy with what or who. At this moment Jorge starts talking to Lenora and nosey pants Vicky wants to know who is there. “Who is this Jorge guy?” Lenora tells her it is the Senor Jorge that has come to talk with Rafa. Vicky not as dumb as she looks, wants to know if he has any connection to Ale. Lenora very nervously says yes but she has to go. She says she will have Rafa call her later and hangs up.
Vicky wanders what he would be talking to Rafa for. The brothers are getting a little anxious as well. They tell her to spill the beans. She says Ale’s dad is arranging something with her Rafa. They want to know what woman is she talking about and what arrangement. She pulls out Ale’s picture to show them. The brothers start drooling over Ale’s picture. They are sure she is “worth her weight in meat.”
She screams at them snatching the picture back and tells them she is sure that Rafa is asking for Ale’s hand in marriage. Big brother tells her no way he saw her first. He corrects himself quickly and says this can’t be because he asked you to marry him first. Vicky screams at them and says “that’s what I am telling you idiot!!” She is not going to let this happen. The brothers agree and tell her they need to go check out what’s going on. They all storm off. Hopefully they are not packing any knifes.
Ale, Marco and Rosario are outside their house all worried about Jorge. They want Marco to call the police. Marco assures them that Jorge is fine and Ruby wouldn’t let anything happen to him. Ale and Rosario are not so sure about this. After all they don’t know anything about Ruby. Ale doesn’t understand why Marco is so calm about all of this. Her phone rings again. Marco wants to know who it is and Ale lies and says it is the office again. We see Rafa hanging up his phone. Jorge’s taxi has arrived and Rafa tells him he will accompany him. Jorge seems a little nervous about this and Rafa assures him he will leave him at his door and nothing more.
Vicky and the goon squad are just rounding the corner as Rafa and Jorge make a quick exit. Vicky is screaming and Lenora is left alone with them with a worried look on her face.
Ale is telling Marco to call the police as Rafa and Jorge pull up in a taxi. Marco is livid and goes off on Rafa. Jorge isn’t having any of this and tells him to calm down. He tells Marco Rafa has behaved very well. Ale wants to know where he has been. Jorge yells at Marco and Ale and says he doesn’t want to talk to them and walks past them into the house.
Ale asks Rafa what that was all about. Rafa tells her Jorge showed up at his house. He tried to call her but no one answered. Rafa tells them he couldn’t just let him come back on his own. Ale thanks him. Marco wants to know why they should thank him. He wants to know why Jorge would go see that jerk. Rafa excuses himself and leaves. Marco is ticked and says he is going to find out what’s going on and goes into the house. As Rafa leaves Rosario says “that’s Rafa?“ smiling. Ale smiling back says yes that’s Rafa. Marco comes back out screaming at them. As they go in the house he is alone outside yells “Rafa you are going to pay for this.“
Jorge is chewing them all out for treating Rafa and his family so badly. Marco can’t believe this. Jorge is defending the guy that caused all of their problems. Jorge continues scolding them and says they have no right to show up at his house at the end of every month like they have been. Ale agrees with him. Jorge tells Marco they need to give him at least one day of grace before they demand payment. Marco is indignant and accuses Jorge of being on Rafa’s side. Jorge says he is on the side of justice and bids them all good night.
Marco and Ale are now discussing the tax problems. Marco tells Ale that he has been working on it all day and hasn’t come up with a solution. He tells her they have to leave the house tomorrow. He will look for a place for them tomorrow.
Lenora is telling Vicky off. Her and Juliette tell her she is all wrong about why Jorge showed up. They assure her Rafa isn’t having an affair with Ale. Vicky isn’t buying this. What about the picture and the letter. Lenora is loosing patience and reminds them that Don Gaston told her the next time they showed up at her house pestering them to call the police. The brothers remember this as well and haul Vicky kicking and screaming, out of the house. After they leave Juliette says Rafa needs to leave Ale alone because these butchers are serious.
Ale is telling Marco to calm down. Marco says don’t tell me to calm down when your dad shows up at that Ruffians house. Ale tells him to quit messing with Rafa and his family. Ale wants to know if he is jealous. This doesn’t sit well with Marco. She tells him Rafa is not a bad man. Marco says he is trying to steal Jorge’s affections. She assures him he is not trying to take Marco’s place. Marco tells her “Rafa won’t take my place unless you let him“. Ale begs him to stop with all of this. Marco tells her to swear he won’t take his place. She does. He tells her he will see her tomorrow and they can figure out what to do about the house. After he leaves, Ale prays to God that they won’t loose the house.
Rafa has returned home and Lenora fills him in on the whole Vicky mess. She tells him Vicky thought Jorge was here to talk about marriage with Ale. Lenora warns Rafa about the problems he could get into with not only Vicky’s family but with Ale’s as well. Lenora wants to know what Jorge wanted to talk to him about. He tells her that he didn’t like the idea of Ale working with the guy that caused her accident. Lenora is worried that he will have problems working at Siglo. He tells her not to worry. He then says to himself it is only one month.
Cutest scene of the entire night, Ale is asleep and her phone rings. It is her new answering service. No not really. It is Rafa. Ale answers and wants to know why he is calling so early. We see Rafa all dressed and ready to leave. He tells her she needs to get moving they have work to do. This was so funny as Ale would do this to Rafa when he first started working at Siglo.
Rosario enters her room and wants to know who could be calling so early. Ale is rushing around getting ready. She tells her he is just paying her back for all the times she called him early in the morning. She swears it is only for a month. She promised Marco this.
We have a salon scene. Poor skinny guy has a migraine. He overdosed on chocolate. He ate a ton of it. (I do enjoy the salon scenes and I promise once these two hour marathons are over I will include more detail about them in the recaps, but sorry folks tonight this is all you get.)
Rafa has arrived at Siglo and is raring to go. Susan greets him. She informs him that Ale told her she will be his secretary. Rafa assures her he doesn’t need a secretary. He is use to doing things on his own. He tells her he has never had a secretary in his life. Susana smiles and tells him she could at least answer the phone for him.
I am sure when Susana said she would answer his phone she had no idea what she was getting into. The phone rings. It is Vicky. She gives poor Susana the third degree. Vicky wants details. She wants to know how old she is. Is she pretty? Does she have a boyfriend ? And on and on ….. Susana says look madam and Vicky corrects her “Miss” “Madam would be Ale.” She is Miss. Susana tired of all this but still polite says she will connect her with Rafa. Vicky informs her he is Mr. Medina. She tells Susana exactly how things are going to be. They will talk more letter and she will explain exactly what her functions will be with her finance. Poor Susana.
Susana goes to the conference room and addressees Rafa as “Licenciado Medina”. Rafa tells her she doesn’t have to address him like that. She smiles and tells him he has a call from Vicky. Rafa tells her to tell Vicky he is busy and will call back later. Susana begs him not to make her talk to her again and informs him about the Vicky inquisition. Rafa apologizes and tells her to pass the call to his cell.
Rafa answers. Vicky is on a roll. She tells him not to tell her he is busy. She accuses him of not having a heart. She is very dramatic. Rafa tells her not to exaggerate. He tells her he knows all about her visit to his house last night. She wants to know why Jorge was at his house. He tells her they were talking about the debt he owes Ale. Just like Lenora told her last night. Vicky hysterical now, says that better be all. And lets hope this new job doesn’t imply you need to be there 24 hours a day. You need time for yourself and for me. Rafa assures her they will have more time. A slightly calmer Vicky says okay, then what time will you be home today. He tells her when he leaves work he will go straight to her house. Vicky now all smiles says okay, and asks him for a little whistle. Rafa complies.
Vicky hangs up and goes ballistic. “This cant’ be this can’t be.” She is on one fine rant. There is no way she is going to permit that witch Ale to steal her Rafa. Be forewarned Ale!!!!

"The whole Vicky mess". That phrase sums it up beautifully Pata. Was there ever a time in this when Vicky was charming?
Bailed on the second hour last night, just had too much of the jealous Marco bickering. But enjoyed seeing Leonora and Jorge mutually charm one another. And thought it was sweet that our chesty nurse insisted on accompanying Jorge to the house.
What will I remember about this episode? Well, "worth her weight in meat" will be hard to forget. And actually, the sex therapist scene was amazing. Not ethical no, but amazing, yes. Looked like they both worked up to having a good time.
Pata...May is slowly passing. Count the days m'dear. I sure am. In the meantime, thanks for doing such a great, detailed double recap. Not only Purple Heart, but Medal of Honor. And burial in Arlington if you don't survive.

As a long time lurker and first time commenter, I would like to thank you and all the recappers for the wonderful work you do. I understand some of what's going on but I miss a lot of it. Your recaps are invaluable!
One thing I caught which I thought was funny - when Jorge heard Rafa complain about Julietta's inappropriate behavior (being out late at night and alone with Jaime), he said he had the same problem with his hermanita. Did you catch the look between Rafa and his mother? Ha!

Good morning, Yes Judy, May is almost over and I am counting down the double recaps. Good news and bad news. The good news is I only have one more left. The bad news is you have two. That's if my guide is right. So sorry about that.
But then hopefully all goes back to normal and we can start including all the random odd scenes, even the Ramiro sex therapy scenes. I think you enjoy those more than I do. I love the salon scenes but when recapping I find I have to replay them several times to catch what they are saying. Unfortunately with these monster doubles I don't have that luxury any more.
Welcome Mil NC. I am glad you are with us. I did catch the herminita refrence. Jorge is not very happy with his little sister right now. He is none to fond of the quintanna relationship.
Thanks again for your kind words. And Judy we will survive!!!

Pata,
What a great job. I really enjoyed the focus on Vicki last night. I almost fell out as she quoted verbatim the letter of recommendation. If this were real life, Vicki would be very scary... heck, she is anyway. It's helpful that we know that she is a harmless zany... uh... she is harmless... isn't she?
I got my first glimpse of the sex therapist. Now that scene was a bit icky. I'm not sure why that was unsettling for me and I have no problem with Claudia's predation. Hmmm.
Carlos

WELCOME MIL IN NC! We are so glad when "lurkers" speak up and join in. That really perks up the line.
Yeah, the eye rolling over Jorge's concerns about his sister were funny. Obviously Rafa and him mom thought his sister was waaay too old to worry about. Sweet that Jorge still feels protective.

Carlos, I feel the same way about the Ramiro scene. I use to sort of like him but lately not enjoying his scenes as much. Maybe because he is such a floor mop. I agree I would rather see Claudia. She always has that little twinkle in her eye when she is up to something.
And lets hope Vicky is harmless. However she wields a mean knife and swings a strong bat. I do think her craziness is a hoot and last night she was on fire.I was waiting for the horns to pop up again.

Pata, honestly, it's okay to leave out scenes even when it's just an hour recap. If the scene doesn't strike you as important, you can skip it. If someone else DID, they will mention it in the comments and it will get discussed. You are "a friend telling other friends about a show you saw last night". So what you include or leave out is up to you. Just like a discussion at the water cooler.
Thanks for your great recap Pata. Hang in there as you only have one more monster episode.
Welcome Mil NC. Congrats on finally posting and hope you continue to contribute to our group.
Judy - you mentioned this yesterday and I can't figure out who "Vicky" played in QE.

Pata, excellent recap. The wake service was funny. I guess is a part of Rafa's plan of making her life miserable.
I thought Rosario gave Rafa a very approving smile. And Jorge finally saw that he isn't some criminal as Marco portrays him. I think that was a big step for the relationship.
I hated the scene with the sex therapist. I doubt any therapist goes around kissing their clients.
Marco is definitely a good match for Vicky. It would be neat if Ale and Rafa could swap novios.

Mil,
Welcome. I love how protective Jorge is of Rosario. I don't trust that lecherous Quintana either.
Karen,
In QE, Vicki was Diana, the pregnant doormat sister of Lorena, whose jerk Dr. boyfriend would beat from time to time. Quite a contrast. I can't picture Vicki allowing anyone to abuse her.

Pata, excellent recap. How do you do such a complete job with these marathon episodes.
Isn't it about time for Marco & Vickie to join forces? I half expected them both to show up at Auto Siglo last night. Once they meet there will be fireworks.
I was so annoyed with Marco & his whining and manipulating. Ale is starting to see through him but oh how I hoped she would keep on going when she tried to walk out. That hug at the end of that scene was painful.
I'm glad that Jorge & Rosario have finally met Rafa. It will be harder to demonize him now. The scenes with Jorge at Rafa's house were sweet.
What can I say about Vickie?!? Whoever pointed out yesterday that her mouth gets rectangular when she is in full screech -- you are so right. I couldn't help noticing it.
Thanks again for a great recap.

Thanks Carlos. I couldn't remember her character at all.
Güera - I too hope Vicky and Marco join forces. If the writers to it right it will be a riot on multiple levels.

Thanks for the great recap, Pata, and all the hard work entailed. You mentioned how Ale is now living Rafa's old life...early morning wake up service and now her own jealous overbearing hysterical novio making numerous phone calls with demands to come home early to see him. Maybe VVV and Marco will end up in adjoining rooms at the manicomio.

Adjoining rooms in the manicomio....sounds good. Maybe we can also get Chavez in there along with the fantasma of the hacienda. Should make for quite an Encounter Group.
Karen, Karen, Karen, were you so distracted by Chef Hawt and Dr. Slooo that you forgot Diana!? She worked at the recaption desk, the save-the-forest grandson wooed her, and of course she'd come home to the Casa Pequeña and glum around the house endlessly feeling bad. Lord, VickyVickyVicky with a butcher knife is a real improvement.

PS Another memory jogger. Her real life child played her child in the novela after she escaped from Dr. Abuser and came back home.
Thanks Pata for continuing the marathon recaps!
JudyB - no, as far as I am concerned VVV has never been charming. She started out just mostly screechy and has gotten worse from there.
I actually thought the sex therapist scene was interesting. She used his attraction to her to help him wake up, start to find his spine. That's the way I interpreted it and I thought it was a valid approach. She did tell him he doesn't love her, she is just his therapist. It was a way of bringing that issue out into the open so he could get past it.
Loved that Rosario had a sweet reaction to Medina, that was really cute. And for sure they won't be able to demonize him so easily now. Marco, by comparison, wasn't looking so good.

Ivy and Judy, I agree Vicky has pretty much been crazy the whole time but there was one cute almost normal encounter. It was when Rafa's family and Vicky's family all went on that picnic and the lion showed up. She was actually behaving like a normal person. It didn't last long mind you.

One more double episode down, Pata! The finish line can't be far away. =)
I loved Ale on the other end of the wake up call. And I'm proud of Jorge for acknowledging what a good guy Rafa is. Now he'll see through some of Marco's embellishments.
VVV is reaching an all-time loca but it's so fun to watch. VVV together with Marco would make one crazy alliance.

Pata, thanks for a great, detailed recap. I was a little to dense to realize how Marco is now channeling Vicky. Quite the role reversals happening. Only one more 2 hour recap for you to go!
They bring up Rafa's dad every once and awhile. I wonder if he will eventually show up or is that a TN rule? If you have a missing parent, they will always show up. He doesn't sound like a nice guy. You almost think he would show up when he finds out Rafa has a good job and is making money. Hmm, if this was other TNs, he would show up and Rafa and Marco would be brothers. :)
When VVV got out of Ale's car, I would have locked the doors right away.
I thought it was good that at least Vicky's hermanos were eating a carrot and an apple while she was away. Over here they would be eating chips and candy or something or order pizza. :)
Mil in NC, yeah, caught that look. Hermanita, yes, sure. Good to see he cares about her.

Mil in NC, yeah, caught that look. Hermanita, yes, sure. Good to see he cares about her.

Great recap, Pata!
It was a bit troubling that both Rafa and Ale had to promise or swear not to get involved with each other. Jorge also asked Rafa not to disclose this promise to anyone. So now we'll have Ale and Rafa, working together, both trying to keep their respective promises, but hopefully, not succeeding!
Rafa and Ale are so much calmer and more mature than Vicky and Marco, they really do work together well. I wonder if Marco and Vicky got together, would their mutual wildness cancel out, and they'd actually be able to relax? Nah!

Thanks for the excellent recap Pata! I really enjoyed these episodes. Crazy Vicky is so much fun to watch. I'm also enjoying seeing Marco get closer and closer to Vicky's level of crazy. I definitely agree that it would be highly entertaining to see Vicky and Marco join forces!
I also really enjoy seeing Rafa and Ale work together again with their roles reversed. I just adore them together!

Tracy, I love Ale and Rafa together too. They are my favorite TN couple ever.
I have a question, is it just my imagination or has Rafa stopped twiching and twittering like he use too? He seems so much calmer and mature. His sublte smiles at Ale when she isn't looking, are cute. That is what Ale use to do in the beginning with Rafa. I really am enjoying the whole role reversal. Now they just have to meet in the middle and hopefully go on another trip together!!!
Oh Jeff, Marco and Rafa long lost brothers? wouldn't that be a hoot.

Judy - yes, perhaps the galans in QE distracted me but I just didn't remember her until a bit of memory jogging from you and Carlos. Thanks for the tidbit on her son.
Jeff - I too would have locked my car doors once Vicky left.
Hombre - ITA Vicky and Marco's crazy probably won't cancel out one another; it will just escalate.

Pata,
Yes I noticed the change in Rafa's demeanor. It seems as if he has grown in confindence and grown into his new role at Auto Siglo. I also just love watching Rafa & Ale and the role reversal is very cute. It is a sign of Ale's maturity that she sees the parallels -- and maybe is rethinking her own behavior.

Hey guys! I too am a long time lurker, since Destilando Amor actually.
I have read you guys through DA, ASL, FELS, MEPS, and now this one, which by the way is the most refreshing novela in a long time, no evil stepmoms or best friends going behind your back, just fresh and funny (most of the time)
My hat is off to all of you recappers, YOU ALL do such a great job. I speak really good Spanish and understand everything that goes on on the show, but EVERY MORNING I am on this site reading the things that you guys have to say about the show.
It is a VERY scary thought of Marco and Rafa being brothers, I like the idea of Vicky and Marco in the crazy house together better.
The both drive me INSANE, but I guess that means that they are doing their jobs well.
I have read that you guys wish that we had some hawt men on this novela, but I think that Rafa is hawt in his own way, with his personallity and all, but then again he is a little bit of a push over. He should have sent Vicky packing several episodes ago, but that may damage the show.
I loved the adoring looks from tia and Ale as Rafa rode off in the taxi, I hope we have more encounters with Rafa and Ale's family, I think that they will fall in love with him in no time at all.
Again, thanks to all of you for the work you do on these recaps.

Pata, I agree with you. Rafa does seem much calmer now. I have never wanted two television characters to get together so badly! I'm going nuts waiting for something to happen between Rafa and Ale. My husband probably thinks I'm crazy.....The point at which I realized how hooked I am on this show was way back at the wedding, when Rafa and Ale were in the car afterwards and came so close to kissing. I was yelling at the tv kiss her, kiss her! Yeah, my friends think I'm crazy too for watching a show when I don't even speak the language. lol

Pata, an amazing recap, very detailed and great fun.
Special thanks for doing a 2 hour recap when you are so busy. You and all of the other recappers are so generous with your time. Glad to see so many posts already today.
My advice to Ale? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I think it would be cool if Jorge and Leonora hooked up. What do you guys think?
I am surprised that Ale didn't pop Vicky in the eye, that would have been too funny, but the way she called her possive and obessive should have hit a nurve with Vicky as that is the same thing that her amiga has told her in the past, HELLO! When is she going to get the message?

Hi Kat, welcome. I think Don Gaston is a bit sweet on Lenora. Even though his family belongs in the loony bin, I think he is a sweetie. I love Ruby and Jorge together. She is just precious, and you can tell she really cares about him. In a "nurse" sort of way.

Hi to Kat in Alabama and welcome. I too got the vibe that Leonora and Jorge would be cute together; but then I also get that vibe with Vicky's dad.
Of the two though, Jorge is cuter. But crazy senile. Don Gaston repulsed me at first, but he says such reasonable wise things, he becomes more attractive.
Is there a third choice around the corner? I'm all for finding romance for older women. Hear hear!

Wow! Such great comments today, and from new voices. Welcome Kat, Tracie and others who have not commented before. I love "meeting" the folks who are following us here.
Pata- Great job capturing the escalating craziness of Marco and Vicky, and the parallels in Rafa and Ale's lives. I really felt sorry for Ale- having to deal with Marco AND Vicky, and worrying about her family being put out on the streets the next day.
I was tickled by that wake-up call to Ale. The tables have really turned. I also liked the slaps Vicky doled out to her brothers. That had me chuckling.
So glad that some of the family members have met and have a better understanding of each other, and that Marco's embargo tricks have been revealed to all. Chavez needs to step in and intervene- otherwise, Marco is going to go completely off his rocker. Although, I am sure that will be fun to watch. :)

Thank you guys for the warm welcome.
I think you are right about VVV's dad liking Leonora, but wouldn't that leave Vicky and Rafa in a pickle if/when they do break up, they would be family then and I don't think that Vicky could handle that.
There are things that I like about Ruby, mainly that she does seem to care about pops, but I don't like that she too squeaks like Vicky when she talks, not as loud, but she does, or that she is always showing of her assetts. And would someone please tell me WHEN DOES THIS POOR GIRL SLEEP? She is with pops all day and dancing all night, she should look 69 years old by now, lol.

I must have missed something, maybe one of you guys can clear it up for me, when pops was in the hospital, Marco was getting hot and heavy again with Karen. What happened, did they just drop that storyline, or did I miss something?
Thanks Pata for such an incredibly detailed recap. Your descriptive powers are superb For example, I enjoyed "Poor Ale distraught, stands there reluctantly allowing leachy Marco to cling to her." What a good (and long) job!
What fun when Vicky and Ale met. I liked when Vicky stuck the picture to the rear view mirror of Ale's car with her gum.
Other diverting scenes: Jorge trying to break up/prevent a fight between Rafa and Marco; Vicky interrogating and giving Susana orders on the phone and then Susana asking Rafa to please, please take the call.
I found the Ramiro/therapist scene icky too. I find it highly unlikely a therapist would encourage her patient to kiss her when she has to know (if she has ANY people intuition at all) that he has a crush on her. I didn't think Ramiro stood up for himself or showed any backbone. He now had another shouting, screaming woman telling him what to do and he complied.
Jeff, concerning Rafa's dad: "if this was other TNs, he would show up and Rafa and Marco would be brothers." LOL!
The role reversal between Ale and Rafa: We have gotten no hint that Rafa is doing this deliberately to Ale, i.e. "giving her a taste of her own medicine". He hasn't talked to himself )and us), saying now she sees how it feels; we have had no shots of a little smile on his face afterwards. This is true both with him requiring her to work late despite her desire to go and when he called her early in the morning to work. I think possibly rather that trying to get back at Ale, we see in some ways how they are alike-it's all about the work (though granted Rafa is not such a hard ass).

I don't think you missed anything Kat. I think Karen might be one of those revolving characters. Kind of like the old guy that shows up at trancaso. I don't think we have seen the last of her.

Barbara- You're right. Even when Ale was being hard on Rafa, it was about doing the job right and giving it your all. Ale has always been a workaholic,and so has Rafa. It's just that Ale worked in a formal office and had people to manage, and Rafa never did till he worked with her. And even when Ale gave Rafa a hard time, like in that flashback to her telling him to go ahead and let Vicky jump because they had work to do, she always tempered that with compasion when his situation truly merited it (like him paying his sister's tuition and supporting his mom). Rafa is right. They have a lot of work to do and a deliverable to get to the boss. An all-nighter would be totally appropriate in that situation and not an act of revenge. But it's good that Ale sees how she could have been more sympathetic and handled things a bit differently/with a less heavy hand.
Kat- Don't worry. Karen will surely return. And likely at the most inconvenient time for Marco.

Barbara, thanks for the kind words.
I really enjoy doing these recaps. I always enjoyed doing papers at school and love words. English words and now spanish as well. I know I get really wordy but when I am typing these up I sort of forget about time and always have one more thing to add. I have been forunate so far to always have thurdays off. I think I had to work one thursay in the very beginning.
So thanks again Barbara and to everyone for their kind words and the many comments we got today and welcome to our new commenters as well. I feel like doing a Rafa Gooooal!!This story is such a great ride!!!

Hi again. Just finished mowing the lawn and trimming bushes. What fun to come back and find lots more comments.
Kat, I too have wondered when our busty Nurse Energizer Bunny sleeps. However, truth be told, there are lots of folks who work two jobs. And they crash for a few hours, and then start up again.
However, since this is a telenovela, we may assume our Rubi is getting lots of rest and help with hair, makeup and costume (what there is of it).

Pata or anyone. I get a page does not exist message when I click on yesterdays recap. i.e. 5/20 recap. Anyone else having same problem?
