Dinero Monday 7/5/2010 Hell Hath No Fury Like Carmela The Ardent*
*sobriquet thanks to Melinama
Now somehow I goofed and the title published but no recap. (Problem solved. Hooray!) But I'm working in 92 degree heat which may explain this goof. But hey, let's talk about the goofs that our protagonists are making. Plenty of those tonight.
We start with Alejandra's weak apologies and "perdonames" for siccing Vicky and her mad dog brothers on Rafa. Possibly blowing the deal with Marian Celeste and for sure putting Rafa and his family in jeopardy. "Perdoname" hardly seems adequate but whatever. After Rafa leaves, she places a frantic phone call to her amiga cum therapist Susana and orders a double tequila.
Elsewhere, Jaime is wandering down the street when he suddenly spots Rafa's old car, La Pantera. All excited, he gets the driver's phone number, sure Rafa will want to get in touch with this guy.
More interesting by far is the scene at the witch doctor's place. Marcos is indeed bare-chested and he's not bad. Not chiseled and ripped like some of our galans but nice broad shoulders and looks rather comfy. He's getting mildly whipped with some kind of feather duster, having cigar smoke blown in his face and forced to drink some noxious concoction while the shaman bellows Arise, Arise! Marcos is holding his drink cup down by the area in question so we have no idea if the therapy is working. Let's hope so for his sake.
And now for Rafa. He's placing a frantic phone call to Marian and getting a pretty cool reception. She's busy. And yes, the money's in the bank because she needs it to pay a lot of her outstanding bills. Surely you're not asking for it back! Gulp, no. Fine, the trucks will arrive tomorrow. Rafa clutches his head and wonders what he'll do about Vicky's family.
Vicky arrives home screaming to beat the band. Can we skip this part? No? Okay. Big bro' tells her she's confined to her room until new orders arrive. Meanwhile the menfolk in the family will decide on the next move. I HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION. I'M NOT GOING TO BE A WIDOW BEFORE I'M A BRIDE!!!! NO SEÑOR! Pancho escapes out the door; Vicky grabs her phone and in her little bitty voice whispers "Papito?". Pretty sure she'll wrap Dad around her finger but who knows? That's it for Vicky tonight.
Marian and her secretary do a little chatting about Rafa while Marcos is staggering out of the witch doctor's place, looking like he's spent 12 hours on a bucking bronco. This does not bode well for amore.
And speaking of...Marian and Chepis (secretary) are reminiscing about Marian's last great love, some Italian who was very guapo and very rico. She admits that now she's quite taken with Rafa even though he's not really her type. But wait! she forgot. She and Rafa are slated to go to a convention in Monterrey tomorrow. Maybe in that beautiful, romantic city she'll have one last shot (quemar el ultimo cartucho) with Rafita. Quick telephone call to remind him of their date. And no! they're not going by truck. By plane, silly.
Meanwhile, our fantasy-prone Chavez is girding Marcos for battle and insisting on hearing all the juicy details once the deed is done.
The scene now moves to Carmela's office. Jaime is skulking in the hallway, having been dispatched to find out what's up at the juzgado. He's not sure which of the three women is "the one", though he should be. Carmela is the only one whose boobs are hanging halfway out of her camisole. In fact her assets are getting in the way of the papers spread out on the desk. Quite a picture.
Marcos arrives. Carmela throws back her jacket, thrusts out her chest a little further, sends the two women on their way, slaps Marcos' bum and off they go to the motel. This is not a woman prone to dither.
Back at the restaurant, Ale and Susana are having a little Come to Jesus talk. Susana gently informs her that she really went too far this time (te pasaste de la raya) and clearly she and Rafa need to sit down and have a heart to heart talk (hablar más a fondo) and work things out. Ale decides she needs Rafa's address and plans to visit his house.
Oh who cares? Let's find out what's going to happen with Marcos and Carmela. As it turns out, not much. But you knew that, didn't you. Carmela gets the key (evidently she's a well-known client) and once inside, knocks down both her whiskey and Marcos'. And then Marcos himself. He's tossed on the bed, stripped of his shirt, devoured with kisses and there we draw a veil. But evidently we didn't miss much. When next we see our seductress, she's storming out, threatening not only jail but putting him in the section with the rapists, and won't relent unless he pays her the promised sum....tomorrow at the latest.
Looks like both Marcos and Rafa have serious money problems now. And all because of women. Is there a hidden message here?
Random cop scene. They're trying to brace the guy who's installing undercover video cameras and microphones for the Queen to better supervise her employees. Trapito saves him but only to be harangued by the Queen herself who wanted the microphones installed like yesterday. Now he'll have to do it overnight. Y punto! After dealing with the technician, she then dispatches her computer-lugging toady to go play hide n seek with her dogs. Clearly the pups are the only ones who get any love from the Queen.
Ale is now driving around Rafa's barrio completely lost. I can relate. Rafa, meanwhile, is in the bar waiting for schizzy nervous little Jaime. When the latter arrives, he bumps into the eternal drunk, almost lands in a lady's lap and finally staggers to Rafa's table, grabbing Rafita's tequila and slugging it down himself. After that, Jaime orders a bottle and a pack of cigarettes and mutters something about having to stop these bad habits before the baby arrives. QUE? Some fast tap dancing about how... well... one day he hopes to have children and you know me, always thinking about the future. Clearly our Jaime is guilt-ridden, especially since Rafa is gushing about how he trusts him with his sister and golly gee, Jaime is also best friends with Rafa's novia and so forth. More chit chat about Rafa's precarious situation, financial-wise and life-wise, now that Vicky's family is on the warpath. More frantic dithering by Jaime. We've seen it all before.
Finally Jaime steers the conversation around to the Pantera sighting and Rafa brightens. Clearly he loves his old car. Heck, he adores it. Jaime counsels him not to show too much enthusiasm or the new owner will want to raise the price. Play it cool is his advice.
Okay, back to Ale who's as lost in the barrio as Rosaura would be. She finally stops a guy on the street to ask for directions and gets a "two streets down, then to the left, then a couple of stoplights, right past the bakery, then to the right"...well, you know the drill. At last she throws out Rafa's name and it turns out everyone in "la colonia" knows Rafita and this fellow grew up with him. Another resident comes up and says she thinks Rafa is in the Bar Pascual at the moment. We'll see where this is going.
Our episode ends actually with Carmela storming away from the motel, Marcos staggering out afterwards telling Chavez they're going to be prisoners for sure (not quite the fantasy Chavez had in mind) and Zetina, hiding behind a rain barrel and his necktie.
Jeez. Did anything really happen? You tell me. I'm heading in to the air-conditioned part of the house.
Previews:
Marcos worries about prison. Vicky vows to make Rafa pay. A butcher knife( guess who?) is held at our hero's throat. Carmela seethes and smolders (but not in a good way)
Vocabulary:
me rindo, me rindo = I give up (Ale driving around the barrio, lost)
vaya hacia la orilla = pull over (cops trying to arrest the camera installer)
bastante robusta, bastanta grandota = rather robust, large....(Zetina describing Carmela)
pagar con creces = pay dearly, pay big-time
quemar mi ultimo cartucho = take my last shot, play my last card
te pasaste de la raya = you went too far, you went overboard
hablar a fondo = have a heart to heart talk, really talk, get to the bottom of things
Dicho of the Day
Salir de Guatemala para entrar a Guatepeor = a pun, to jump out of the frying pan into the fire
Could be said about Marcos, but also about Rafa. You decide.

Judy, Thanks for such an easy reading, entertaining recap. A nice end for the holiday weekend. I liked the vocabulary, it seems like a lot of it could very useful. And I actually "got" the pun. That made me happy.
Yes Ale, let's order a double tequila. That will help. Especially when you're driving around looking for Rafa's place. This part of the storyline has me intrigued. Can't wait to see what happens. And Rafa and Ale, "hablar a fondo"--I can only hope!
Enquiring minds want to know...did Marco see Ale and Rafa in bed with him again? Or could he just not? Who was Marco telling himself to pretend that Carmela was?
The random cop scene was really useless. Now we have to see them hassle some very peripheral character. The Queen is becoming less and less watchable. Unless the dogs are with her, I think she belongs in the >>FF>> category.
Oh boy, Jaime's hijo slip tonight was a little blip of excitement. Please, please Jaime, just give it up!

Ha ha ha..."looking like he's spent 12 hours on a bucking bronco. This does not bode well for amore." Judy, you do have such a way of painting a picture with words. I enjoy your recaps much more than the show itself.
And "schizzy" (great word) little Jaime. Sometimes I want to slap him silly.

Good morning Barbara. He was imagining himself with Maribel Guardia, who really is quite a babelicious. Salute 'em silicone breasts, taut waist, curvy hips. She's quite the stunner (although no longer young) and is seldom seen in much more than a bikini on Univision at least.
Evidently THAT didn't work. I was disappointed we didn't get to spend more time with Carmela and Marcos also. Who needs the Queen?

Ay yi yi. Two comments of mine have disappeared. One last night, and one this morning. Hard not to take this personally.
Barbara, Marcos was fantasizing (or trying to) about Maribel Guardia. Not a twenty-something but still amazing for her age. Big conical silicone breasts, taut waist, rounded hips, in short a bikini body and that's usually what she's wearing...for Univision anyway. A brunette Barbie doll.
We could have skipped the cop and Queen scene and spent more time with Marcos and Carmela, don't you think? Darn.

Judy, like the esclalating temperature, your recap smoked and sizzled. Thank you for doing this despite the heat! Hot fun in the summertime.
As Barbara noted, this was very entertaining. Terrific recap as always. Your vocabulary and dicho were excellent. I laughed at "...getting mildly whipped with some kind of feather duster, having cigar smoke blown in his face and forced to drink some noxious concoction...". Marcos - blech.
Other favorite lines were: "not chisled and ripped" and "boobs are hanging halfway out of her camisole". :)
Stay safe and cool everyone! It's going to be near 100 today here and in many other spots.

Good morning!
Judy e-mailed and asked me to let everyone know that she is trying to comment (here and on "MP", "CS" and "STuD") but her remarks are not posting. Our blog mom also noted that she is unable to comment as well.
Not sure how long this will last but Judy will be posting once the issue is resolved.

Judy, Thanks for the recap. I loved your descrition of Marcos encounter with the witch Dr. That was a hoot. That scene was pretty funny too.
I think my favorite scene though was Ale asking for directions, because I have had the exact same thing happen.
As always your recap was great fun and helpful. I had no clue what was going on with the random cop scene tonight. And I agree with you Barbara, the queen scenes are quite >>FF>> material.

Judy, what a fun recap this morning. As usual, you captured the action vividly while amusing and titillating us at the same time. Sorry about the posting problems. We'll see in a moment if this finds it's way through the ether.
I had been hoping to see more of Carmela, and boy did I. Thanks guys... that was sufficient. She certainly is... ummm... robust.
I'm afraid that our Jaime is about to implode. He certainly has a lot on is plate right now.
Just the right amount of Vicki last night. Now, when is Rubi coming home?
Carlos

Thanks for the recap Judy. Not sure our story moved forward but it should be interesting when Rafa and Marian go on their trip.
Does Ali know about this trip? See trouble there.

Hi Lynda, Diana, Julia and Pata. I see one of my comments "returned". None of the others did. Floating in cyber space evidently.
Pata, glad to know you're another one who's directionally challenged. When I drive to Charlotte, even with the exits written down I usually blow right past one or two. Have seen some interesting parts of West Virginia that way.

Lynda, as soon as Marian said something about looking forward to time in Monterrey WITHOUT Ale's interference, I thought...somehow our Ale is going to get there....and mess things up again. Shall we bet?
Hmmn...some of my comments that disappeared have now come back. Ditto for Carlos? This is mind-boggling. But interesting in a frustrating sort of way.
Hi, Judy, thanks for the excellent recap, another of your gems.
I think Ale forgot that she's driving the Amazing Ford Fusion, with Sync and Guidance System, and all the other things we learned in that product placement ad last week. She should be able to just say "Casa de Rafa" and the car would say Si, Senorita, and whisk her away.
I actually thought Carmela was rather sexy. That Marco is such a big baby. But of course since Carmela said something like "if I don't get the money tomorrow, first thing day after tomorrow I'm going to spill the beans", that means about 6 more shows before we get to that point, at the rate we're going. So Marco doesn't really have to worry too much.
I agree, Ale's going to be quite jealous when Rafa goes off in a plane to Monterrey with Marian.
Zetina actually heard Marco's conversation with Carmela on the way out of the motel, I think, so one would think Rafa can get Marco in trouble (except that he'll probably have his phone off in Monterrey, and Zetina won't be able to get him the message).
I absolutely LOVE when Ale imitates Vicky with that high voice, which she did once last night while talking to Susana. That never fails to make me laugh out loud!

Hi Hombre. Yes, Ale is a good comedienne and her imitation of Vicky is far preferable to the actual Vicky whom I find insufferable. (will have to leave her defense to the Compassionat Carlos).
Yessss...what's so bad about Carmela? She's well endowed and generous with her "gifts". Selfish selfish Marcos not to come through for her! I'm sure most fellas in his spot would have managed. Unless all that torrid aggression makes one shrivel. Maybe he prefers a more passive response. But gosh, who could turn down all that enthusiasm?

Judy, thank you for the wonderful recap and vocab.
I agree with you and Hombre about Carmela. I think she looks good for her age. I don't know why they call her heavy.
I rolled my eyes when Jamie found Pantera. I think the writers come up with too many unimportant plots to fill the one hour. Strangely however we don't get much of the hair saloon scenes.

Hah. Maria, I'm laughing because if Carmela heard you say "for her age", she'd rip your head off. But I agree...she's just a nicely rounded, exceedingly affectionate woman. I would have thought she'd be in great demand.
Looks like the writers are just throwing in a bunch of sidelines to string this out. I'm sure we're due for another beauty parlor segment soon.
In the meantime, I'd rather find out how Rubi's doing in sunny Iraq.

Ooops Judy, I didn't mean to offend Carmela. What I was trying to say is that she is really attractive.
Though I don't think Marco's lack of performance was not due to her looks. He had hard time with Rubi a while back too. I think his issue is the loss of control over Ale and her feelings and the frustration is projecting from his mind to the rest of his body.

Well, I'm back and so is my earlier comment. I enjoyed watching Ale get directions. Now I'm not one inclined to ask for directions (I navigate by the sun and stars), but on the rare occasion that I do, if there are more than 2 turns involved... forget it.
Hombre cracked me up with:
"I think Ale forgot that she's driving the Amazing Ford Fusion, with Sync and Guidance System..."
Good one.
As for Carmela, she is the stuff of adolescent and geezer fantasies. Sometimes fantasies are best left as that... fantasies. I'm not sure whether to envy or pity Marco.

Thanks, Judy for your always fun recaps and vocab and dicho, too.
Ale is taking Susana's sage advice and trying to have that heart to heart talk with Rafa. Now that would clear things up, so what makes me think that may not happen soon or in the way intended. Since, I think we have maybe a hundred episodes to go? I hope Ale follows Rafa and Marian on that trip since she is super jealous at this point. That would be fun.
Hombre, LOL, about Ale and her not taking advantage of the Fabulous Ford Fusion's amazing guidance system. I think that's why they actually developed the system, to avoid mile long directions to follow by memory. Ha ha.

Since, I think we have maybe a hundred episodes to go? I hope Ale follows Rafa and Marian on that trip since she is super jealous at this point. That would be fun.
Hombre, LOL, about Ale and her not taking advantage of the Fabulous Ford Fusion's amazing guidance system. I think that's why they actually developed the system, to avoid mile long directions to follow by memory. Ha ha.

Oh Carlos, another directionally challenged amigo! But I like the way you said it better. And yes, Hombre was right on with his quip about Ford Fusion. Who could forget that product placement? Heck, it was on my watch. I should have remembered.
Maria....you are quite right. Marcos' problems are all in his head. That's where most of OUR problems are also, verdad? Yes, indeed, anyone who'd have difficulty getting inspired with Rubi is in deep deep trouble.
Carlos, indeed Carmela is the stuff of adolescent and geezer fantasies. For the teens, it's her willingness. For the geezers, she'd be willling to do most of the heavy lifting. A gift to all mankind.

I've had no luck posting the one time I tried earlier today, but I wanted to thank you for the great recap and comments (those that made it through) Judy. :)
LOL, Judy! What a wonderful recap, you are such a clever writer! I loved Susana her amiga cum therapist, so true!
I too think Carmela is an attractive woman, but I could see how her enthusiasm might be a bit much, not even giving poor Marco the chance to drink his own whiskey!
Unfortunately, I missed all the witch doctor stuff, came in late, but you described it well!
Loved Zetina hiding behind his tie, I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that.

I loved the look on Marco's face as he sat in bed after disappointing Carmela. Like a sad puppy why had just peed the rug. Lol!
GinCa, Ivy, Vivi....hola! Yes, it's been a pretty frustrating day so far as comments go. What really fascinates me is some came back. Not all, but some. Where did the others go? Is it a case of "many are called but few are chosen"?
Vivi.... "like a puppy who peed on the rug!" Yikes. Y'know, if we had the actors Twitter address we could probably send him that description. He'd be flattered I'm sure. That's JUST the right look.

Vivi,
"Like a sad puppy why had just peed the rug."
Excellent.
When Marian was talking with her secretary, the secretary mentioned Urdiales. Significant? I still haven't had an opportunity to see the famoso Urdiales.

Yes his name came up. I'm sure when the truth comes out about all the skullduggery of Marcos and Chavez, Urdiales will somehow figure into it.
Hi everybody! I'm not sure if anybody's still here since tonight's episode aired already, but I'm back from vacation and wanted to say thanks to all the recappers for all of last week's and this week's episodes. I'm caught up on the show except for tonight's. Loved the one where Ale sent Vicky to the restaurant and they had a little brawl. Funny stuff! I'm intrigued that Ale is trying to find Rafa to have a heart to heart talk. Wonder if it'll actually happen? I need to watch tonight's episode and find out!
