Llena de Amor #35 Fri 9/24/10

Unfortunately I have to see Fedra’s strip show. Gretel has snuck in and is also shocked.

Muneca wants to tell Ilitia that they are going to adopt a baby, but Lorenzo says no, she’s so jealous, you know her. When it’s all done, then we’ll tell her. She says let’s go to bed, forget this stuff about you in the guest room, come on. He goes on about her breaking something deep in him, he needs time, etc. What a crock.

Blondie cries to the lady who I can’t ever remember her name at the pension, she can’t believe how low Lowrenzo is. She says all men are like that, except for Brandon and Oliver of course.

Doris argues with Mari about Brandon. Mari wants to dump him if he loves her for real, Doris of course is against this idea.

Ugh more Fedra. The less said (and seen) the better. Spiderus cheers her on rather aggressively from the bar. He and the bartender go on and on about how awesome she is. Whatever. The judge watches with interest. Gretel can’t take it any more and runs out, knocking into people on the way. Spiderus sees her (though I don’t think he knows who it is just yet) and chases her out. Gretel hops in a cab she had waiting and takes off. Spiderus curses. I’m still not sure he knows it’s Gretel, but he knows it was someone spying at least.

Fedra moves in to work on the judge one on one. I am already sick this weekend so this scene is really working my resolve to not throw up. Sweet talk from Fedra is revolting.

Gretel returns home in her spy outfit. She does some extremely ugly crying. She is really mad and starts breaking stuff around the house. She flashes back to Fedra killing Mari’s father. She yells out Assassin!

In the morning, Delicia looks over the trashed house. Fedra comes down to see what’s up and freaks out.

Oliver wants to do something for a couple hours, Brandon says no there’s no time, then lists all their business for the day. Some paperwork, then start the investigation into the shooting. Mari brings breakfast. Brandon says I’m so lucky, she’s not just pretty, she treats me like a king!

Eman wakes up in his clothes, sleeping next to Ilitia, who is still in her clothes, with his face on her feet. Eman freaks. “you slept the whole night here, what are your parents going to say?” From outside they hear Fedra yell “what happened last night here in my house!” and think she is talking about them.

Lorenzo keeps up his grumpy act, waiting for Ilitia. The maid says she isn’t home, she didn’t sleep here. Lo is upset.

More Fedra yelling, now we see Kristel’s room, she is in her clothes and Orangy is in his clothes on the floor. She really knocked them all out last night. Fedra and Emiliano are yelling for everyone to get downstairs. K and Orangy try to figure out how to get him out of her room, AGAIN.

Downstairs the maids try to put things back together. Eman and Ilitia come down, Fedra immediately turns on her – what are you doing here so early? Did you spend the night together? Eman just smiles like he’s guilty. Cripes what a bunch of hypocrites. They boink regularly, all of them with whoever, and then when they actually have a good excuse (we fell asleep, still dressed, nothing happened) they get all stupid.

Brandon and Oliver leave, very pleased with their breakfast. When they leave, Doris says again that she is worried about Brandon being hurt by Mari if he really falls for her.

Finally Ilitia and Eman explain that they passed out. Fedra even says Emiliano, whatever, chill out. Emil does not chill. Kristel comes out, sees Ilitia, and jumps in, obviously hoping to deflect any attention away from who is in HER room. The phone rings, it’s Lorenzo. Emil takes the phone, he says ok ok, we’ll wait for you here. He tells Eman and Ilitia that when Lo and Muneca get here, the kids better have a really good explanation! I thought they just gave him the explanation?

Muneca thinks it’s fine that Ilitia didn’t come home, but Lorenzo is thirsty for blood.

Eman says he doesn’t know what happened, they were soooo tired and jst passed out. Emil says you know what? Me too. Kristel says her too. Gretel shows up and says ask Fedra! She knows! Instead of coming out with it, she beats around the bush and doesn’t come right out and say she drugged everybody. When she finally does, Fedra smacks her in the face. The doorbell rings, it’s Brandon and the cops. They have a search warrant.

Mari argues with Doris some more about Brandon. Netty walks in and wants to know what’s up. They don’t tell her. The single mom runs in with a package, it has the headline from the newspaper in it saying that Eva died after returning to her alcoholic ways.

Eman argues with Brandon. Emil demands an explanation. Brandon says it’s part of the murder investigation of Dolores, who was murdered in Netty’s pension.

Everyone screams and cries about the Eva headline, and rant about how it’s all Fedra’s fault.

Eman and Ilitia try to run Brandon off, apparently none of these people understand the power of a signed search warrant. The Commisar comes in and straightens them out.

Spiderus, Nereida, and the older lady who works in the house sit down to eat, Delicia runs in to say things are getting worse, the police are here. Spiderus of course is worried when he finds out that it’s about Dolores.

The cops say someone was hired to kill Netty and Dolores got killed by accident. They’ll be here searching for a while. Gretel says save your time, it’s her! She points and Fedra and says that she is the killer!

Netty swears to Mari that they will clear Eva’s name and take Fedra down. Netty says that Eva once told her that she found out a secret about Fedra, something that would get Fedra out of the family forever.

Gretel continues to scream, the men of course hold her back instead of listening to her. The cops just stare at her, then finally tell her to speak.

I guess it was Mari’s dad that had the secret on Fedra, and he died before he told anyone what it was.

Brandon gives her a chance to talk, but instead Gretel continues to rant and rave so Oliver finally butts in to help take her upstairs. Eman yells at Brandon for upsetting his sister, he’ll be sorry! The cops move to search the house. Lorenzo and Muneca show up, Ilitia runs straight to Lo, ignoring her mother.

Emiliano tells Oscar that Gretel has nervous problems, etc. She insists that she’s not crazy and tries to calm down. Emil leaves her alone with Oscar. She asks him you believe me, right? He says he hates to see her this way.

Lo immediately wants to know what Ilitia did to bring the cops this time. Nice guy! Ilitia says it’s not like that, and to top it all off, Brandon the monkey cop is here! Muneca says really? I really want to see him! Haha. Lo and Ilitia both yell at her. Fedra tells Lo that the cops are looking for a killer. Lo says fine, but more importantly, HOW DID MY DAUGHTER STAY HERE OVERNIGHT? Nice priorities.

Netty tells Mari that when Eva was recovering from her alcoholism and then Mari’s dad died Fedra kept putting booze in front of Eva to make her relapse.

Eman tries to explain that they just slept. Ilitia mumbles that it wasn’t HER idea to just sleep. Lo fumes and everyone starts giggling. Fedra has the nerve to tell Lo to not make scandals here in her house. Too late for that. Fedra says they want to ‘know’ each other before the wedding, that’s normal. Kristel jumps in saying WTF I’m about to marry Orangy and you won’t even let him come to my room to watch TV! Fedra says that’s different, Ilitia is a grown woman and Kristel is her virgin baby. Ilitia tries not to laugh. Just then a cop comes down with Orangy, asking if anyone knows who he is. Mouths drop, Eman laughs. Kristel might start crying.

Emil an Oscar try to get Gretel to lie down. Why doesn’t she open her damn mouth and say she saw last night. Emil gives her an injection.

Fedra demands an explanation, now Lo is laughing. “not so ‘whatever’ now that it’s YOUR daughter, eh?” Eman wants a good reason to not split Orangy’s face. I can’t believe how hypocritical this whole thing is. They have sex with their own woman/women, then threaten to kill anyone else who does the same thing. Whatever. Orangy swears he slept in Axel’s room. He passed out. Kristel says yes, we were discussing that, we all passed out, what’s up with that? Eman says to Fedra, what about you? She nods like she passed out too.

The old lady and Nereida say nothing strange is going on (to Brandon), but Delicia tells all about Bernardo arriving in the middle of the night all in black like a vampire. Nereida gives her a look, not sure if she knows something and is mad, or if she is surprised about all this.

Spiderus is in his room putting his gun in a safe hiding place. Then he remembers oh yeah my ski mask and gloves. Cripes dude you have to dump incriminating evidence, not keep it in your room. He takes some stuff out of one drawer and sticks it in another drawer. Do cops only search top drawers or what? Just then Brandon busts in with gun drawn.

Benigno takes the Commisar down to meet the General. The General gives him permission to search the room. Commisar picks up a gun and says it was fired recently, Benigno says he has been practicing. Commisar tells the General what happened with Dolores getting killed. The General says fine, what does that have to do with this family? Commisar says they are trying to figure out the relationship between Netty and this family, they think Netty was the intended victim. The General says right away that it has to be Fedra, take her away! Lock her up! She’s at fault for all the bad things that have happened to this family!

Netty, the ladies and Cristian talk, they tell Begonia to relax and be safe here in the pension, they’ll help her. Netty says she understands about loving a married man, the other lady says who? Netty says oh nobody special, you know, because I’m an actress. The single mother says her man left her for another. They man bash and then Netty says the next good man that shows up they’ll have to tear him apart and share him. Or something like that, I’m not entirely sure. Of course just then Netty’s lawyer shows up with flowers and she flutters her eyelids at him.

Brandon tries to search the drawers of the dresser and hold a gun on Spiderus at the same time. Weren’t there like 50 cops there? This is ridiculous. Brandon tells him that he’s looking for the black clothes, etc. Where was he that night? He says he was at home sleeping. Brandon somehow missed the clothes that were sitting right there in the drawer. For some reason he cuffs Spiderus anyway. They leave the room and the dresser drawer isn’t closed with the ski mask just RIGHT THERE hanging out of the drawer. I thought Brandon was a good cop, this was the most incompetent police work I have ever seen.

Emil tells Oscar that Gretel has a mental problem ever since the death of his brother (Mari’s father). Oscar says she looks so normal! Oscar says they have to search this room too, but he’ll do it himself to not bother Gretel with all the other people ok? Emil says ok. Instead of searching, Oscar just goes and talks to Gretel. He promises to help her find a way to help her.

Brandon marches Spiderus out the front. Fedra demands that they don’t take him. She’s afraid that he’ll talk I’m sure. Orangy takes this opportunity to sneak out. Sounds like Brandon is taking Spiderus in to question him, he has information that makes him a possible suspect, and I think he said his alibi was weak. Eman even defends Spiderus, calling him honest. Fedra insists that they wait for the lawyers first. The Commisar tells Fedra that she is under arrest too. Based on the word of the General, I suppose.

Monday – Lo wants Eman and Ilitia to hurry up and get married, but Eman keeps thinking of Mari. He decides to fight for her, under the pretext that ‘Brandon isn’t right for her.’

Chris, I am so sorry you got stuck with this episode. Fedra is just gross. The part with the Keystone Cops was just ridiculous. The only good parts were the General and Oliver with Gretel. It seems that everyone respects the General except his family.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather, Chris. Seems to be hitting everyone. And I'm right there with you on the "strip tease" all though there was hardly any strip and the tease part was lame. If these men thinks she's wonderful, man they must have sorry lives.

After using my best friend the remote to miss that, heading into the whole "good morning" the cops are here scenes were real beanie moments. I think I mumbled "WTH" more times then I can remember. And I just knew our supercop was not going to search that bottom drawer.

So I assume we now have to suffer way too many Bernardo/Fedra interrogation scenes in the next episode. I'd like more Oliver and Gretel instead.

Feel better!!
 

Thank you, Chris! Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, the whole scene with Brandon "searching" Spiderus's room was ridiculous! We are supposed to believe he's a good cop?

I agree with daisynjay, I'd like to see more Gretel and Oliver!

Looking forward to Monday!
 

Hi Chris, sorry to hear you're not feeling well but glad to see it didn't affect your recapping abilities at all. I had several laugh-out-loud moments during this episode and the funniest was Fedra's "striptease" with her tambourine. Her get-up was beyond ugly, that said she looked pretty damn good in it. The actress has a wonderful figure. I'm trying to imagine the look on her face when the wardrobe people pulled out the bloomers and corset.

I know I'm supposed to hate Ilitia and Kristen, and I do I really do, however their scenes are always very lively because the actresses attack their lines with such verve. I loved the part where Ilita mumbles under her breath about spending the night with Eman.

Superb recap Chris, and thanks for taking one for the team. (I mean the striptease of course.)
 

Thanks everyone. I have a cold but it is kicking my butt. Always on the weekend. I'll suddenly feel fine tomorrow in time to go to work. The only time I get sick during the week is when I can't stay home for some reason, like I have to do payroll or something. Ugh.

Yes for all my complaining about the strip tease there was no strip and the tease was lame. The worst part was the guys acting like she was so hot.
 

Chris, your recap is a gem, once again. I'm sorry, however, to hear that you are sick. What bad luck. I hope that you are able to get enough rest this weekend.

I have grave doubts about both Brandon and Oliver as cops. They botched the arrest of Dandy, and now the sloppy search of Bernie's room.

I'm sorry that you're not more of a Fedra fan. I understand your point of view, but I can't help but find her delightfully evil and yes... sexy. Her dancing needs polishing, but she's enthusiastic and is a knockout cook.

Thanks for the wonderful recap, and get well quick.

Chris, thanks for doing this despite your infirmity. I watched the whole episode just imagining how funny your description of it was going to be, and as usual you exceeded expectations.

I thought this was a very, very funny episode. Well, once we were past that grotesque Mala Noche part, anyway. It's hard to imagine what those guys see in Fedra's performance. Are we supposed to think that it gets much more...something...after they cut away to protect our delicate eyes?

Well, anyway, things got very amusing when the family started waking up and defending themselves in the morning. I loved Ilitia's stage-whispered query to Kristel..."Is EVERY morning like this at your house?" "Well, pretty much, yes." Except usually they wait until they're dressed and eating breakfast to start fighting.

I also loved the dynamic between Kristel and Emanuel when he discovered she also had an overnight guest, and of course Ilitia's muttering that she wished more than just sleeping had happened. It's hard to hate Ilitia even though she's awful; she's so funny. Even Kristel I find very amusing when she isn't directly picking on someone.

Brandon needs some retraining, I think. That was a super sloppy search. Since Bernardo was already a suspect, why didn't he cuff him and then search his room at leisure, rather than trying to hold the gun on him and riffle through his drawers at the same time? I know it's too early in the game for them to find enough evidence to get a conviction, but I wish they would have setbacks due to the cunning of the villains or circumstances beyond the investigators' control, rather than stupidity of the good guys.

Poor Gretel's brain seems to short-circuit whenever stuff related to her trauma surfaces. I hope Oliver can get her to speak to him calmly about it. I really like the two of them together.
 

"she's...a knockout cook." Carlos, you are too funny!!
 

Chris- I'm also recovering from a bad cold that has been hanging over me this past week. But it was wonderful to wake up from my nap on the couch to read your funny recap. :) I agree about all the frustrations of this episode- the awful search, and Gretel not coming out with what she needed to say before launching into hysterics that would get ignored. But there were also so me great scenes- the funny morning scenes with the discovery of the overnight guests, and the really touching Oliver and Gretel scenes. I really like that actor. He is able to be an oddball and goofy one moment, and tender and brimming with emotion the next. He was holding back tears as he grasped how "sick" Gretel is. I would also like to see more scenes with the two of them, but Gretel is always so cold towards him. Hopefully they'll bond over this experience.

Thanks again Chris. I hope you are feeling better soon.
 

Thank you so much, Chris for a fun-poking recap. I get the impression you didn’t enjoy this episode as much as I did, but you squeezed a lot of humor out of it anyway.

Carlos – knockout cook! Excellent.

I wonder how the Mala Noche people know La Reina is coming. Does she call in advance, or do they just bump some other act? I hope she doesn’t have any costume pieces at home what with the maids and all.

Speaking of the maids, don’t they do everyone’s laundry and put it away? Bernardo had his gun right on top of his clothes in the drawer. And of course his ski mask just stuffed in there.
 

I don't imagine that the performance schedule at a place like that is very tight. They probably have a number of dancers on staff, and maybe some occasional performers, and if someone like Fedra who is apparently very popular says she wants to perform that night, the others get a little break.

What is more mystifying is how Bernardo has kept that stuff hidden. Does he clean his own room rather than letting the maids in, and put away his own laundry? Because there is no way a maid wouldn't have noticed the false back in the drawer.

Also, a false back in the drawer would have done no good if the police had done a competent search. Everyone knows that when you search, you have to pull out all the drawers all the way and look into the back of the furniture as well, because people who are hiding things often tape them behind drawers or to the bottoms of drawers! Well, everyone who knows anything about being sneaky, anyway. And you have to look under the furniture! Brandon seemed to be looking for a museum display case labeled "Murder Weapons and Accessories" with tidy placards next to each item describing its use in the crime.
 

I was watching Sorti this weekend and realized that Fadra was the mother of marie jose on Sorti minus a few pounds
 

ebony,

Also the dad on Sorti is the police chief in Llena.
 

Chris, yes, ugly crying for sure! Glad you got to use one of your trademark phrases. So good you are back!

I hope you are feeling better by now. As others noted, your recap was excellent and as always, great fun!

Despite the ugly crying, I do hope Gretel gets the help she needs and has a happy ending. Julia, I agree about the actor playing Oliver. Loved him in Guapos, Gancho and here as well. I'm sure Gretel will thaw before the end.

Diana
