Llena de Amor #29 Thu 9/16/10 Llena de...Recap Will Be Late And Short
Oops, I forgot I have a performance to attend this evening so tonight's recap will be late and most likely a quickie.
Thanks for understanding...
...Redux of Fedra threatening the family lawyer, Emanual shouting to Mari from the street. I like Netty’s house, it’s colorful. That’s another thing about the people in these shows, the working class live in colorful houses and the rich live in sterile, white abodes.
Out on the street Brandon gets into it with Emanuel and Eman bops Bman on the head with the microphone he borrowed from the tamale vendor. Then the two start circling each other and throwing punces at the air. Then they kick the air. OK now Eman’s got Bman in a head lock and Bman gives Eman a gut punch. Smack to head, kick to the nuts (Eman’s), and E starts heaving tamales at Bman until Mari breaks it up.
Lawyer stands up to Fedra so she starts bribing him. Doesn’t work so she threatens him with revealing some secrets about him I think. He says one way to block Tio Maximo is to have him declared mentally incompetent. Fedra likes this idea. Rivas wonders what Fedra has against Mari.
Lorenzo and Muni are at the police station where Lorenzo is trying to throw his weight around. Oliver tells Lowman to get a good lawyer for his daughter. Hah!
Here’s the answer to our question, Begonia shows up at the colorful happy house to retrieve her hijo and they all think it’s a great idea for Begonia to move into the pension.
Eman takes Mari for a walk and begs her to come home, nobody will bother her because he’ll protect her. “Emanuel, what do you really feel for me?” she asks him. He looks like he’s trying really really hard not to scrunch his nose, like the director said no matter your face does do NOT scrunch your nose.
Back at the police station and Lowrenzo is snapping his fingers and insulting Muneca and Oliver. Oh good, here comes the commissioner and just when it looks like he’s going to give it to Lowman Ilitia comes running into the room and hugs her papi. Comisario looks stern like he's not done with them yet.
Eman stumbles all over his answer, he loves Mari as his cousin, uh, he doesn’t know how so he decides to buy all the flowers from a poor little boy who should be in school. He tells Mari to go with the man with the nice face so she gives him a pocketful of chocolates. He’d probably rather have money but he takes the candy and runs.
Begonia decides to move into the happy house.
Ilitia sobs that her skanky cellmates stole her bling. Lorenzo pops off and Comisario shrugs and says what do you expect in jail? Honestly, I love that attitude, it serves her right. Oh it gets better, the commish says she’s not free, she’s still detained because she broke the law. He says if Bman doesn’t drop the charges then Ilitia will go in front of the grand inquisitor. Oh goodie!!!
Team Netty eats dinner and gripes about the occupants of Horror House. Doris kind of sticks up for Eman and Bman doesn’t like it. He tells the ladies about the time Eman took Mari to the bar and they got her drunk to make fun of her, like it was all Eman's fault. Netty is aghast, they are trying to turn her into an alcoholic like her mother! Bman sez Eman wants to make Mari fall in love with him. The ladies are shocked, they are cousins, it’s a sin. Doris sez Eman’s got a girlfriend and Bman sez that’s only proof that he has bad intentions toward Mari. But most of all, Brandon shouldn’t talk with his mouth full.
Mari and Eman eat ice cream and she tells him she’s always felt a lot for him ever since they were kids. Nevertheless she doesn’t want to go back to casa Ruiz y Teresa.
Dona Paula has prepared Tio Maximo’s special meal. Fedra slithers into the kitchen and sez no more special food for the rude brat in the cellar. But he’s sick and he’s on a strict diet! Fedra sez he can die of hunger for all she cares, no feeding Tio!! Delicia’s distraught and even Nereida looks put out.
Back at the Casa of Color we get a PSA about the special brochure put out by the president blah blah blah to celebrate the commemorateions of the country. Que viva Mexico!! We practically get to read the entire brochure along with the ladies.
It looks like Doris and Mari might be at the university or some cafeteria or something. Doris gives mari a pep talk, only a man in love gives a woman red roses. They are interrupted by a friend of Mari's who is thrilled that they will both be attending the university. The friend asks how is her family and her hunk bomb (bombazo) of a cousin?
Alex tells Gretel he’s going to go out for a while to clear his mind. She wants to go with but he says something about getting into a fight? He leaves and she looks like she wants to follow him.
Andre visits Eman at his office and Mari’s commercial comes on the little TV which makes Eman sad.
It’s Mari’s friend’s birthday and she wants to invite Mari and Doris to her party. Mari hems and haws but Doris is all Yo let’s party! She sez she’ll convince Netty to let them go and they’ll shake some bootie. Friend tells Mari that Doris is super bien.
Fedra and The Mask stand outside Tio’s room and listen to him yell. Fedra says it’s music to her ears. Nereida runs out and says Tio’s nut because he’ll only eat what Paula brings to him. Fedra tells The Mask she wants to put Tio where he should always have been, in a nut house (manicomio).
Emiliano interrupts Netty’s acting class. He is impressed with her death scene. Or is he smitten?
Brandon visits Ilitia in jail to taunt her. He brought her some food which she refuses. Fine then, he says, stick with lettuce and lime for all he cares. He looks pretty smug and happy, for now...
Netty gets all up in Emiliano’s face and tells him she will not let Mari move back in his ratonera (mousetrap) house with that viper Fedra. She was the death of Eva, she almost caused Netty to get run over and now she’s after Mari. Emiliano looks sceptical at Netty’s theories. He sez yes Fedra is different but deep down... Netty sez deep down she’s bad and Emiliano is hypnotized. Emil says no, he’s just in love, Fedra is the love of his life. Netty sez in that case get your nose out of here. And tell your handcuffs (espositas), err I mean your wife (esposa) blah blah blah something about Fedra separating him from Tia Carlota.
Mari and Doris come home and Netty tells her to decide. No way, I’ll never go back there declares Mari.
Now Brandon is on the other side of the bars and still taunting Ilitia. If only Eman knew what was happening to her, she pines. After Bman leaves she eats his sandwich with gusto.
Mari tells the ladies of the house how excited she is about school and her friend Carla’s party. Carla is good people, they’ll be fine. I’m not sure why all the biddyies get to decide whether or not two adult women get to go to a party but whatever, makes for a filler scene I guess. Probably something bad will happen at the party and the stay-at-homes will be all “I told you so”. Brandon has a solution, he and Oliver with chaperone them.
Alex is at his pal Aldo’s place and Aldo sez he can help Axel take the leap. He throws some condoms down on the table. What? Axel’s a bit confused. The doorbell rings and a lovely young lady named Lorena comes in. “Axel, what a surprise to see you here.”
Andre’s at the club dancing with the babe du jour. Mari, Doris and their bodyguards arrive, so I guess this is where Carla’s party is. Andre comes over to say hi and Doris gets stars in their eyes. I almost forgot about those two.
She gives him a two-second-too-long cheek kiss, reminds him they met twice, and he walks off with his high-maintenance date. Bummer for Doris. On the plus side, he looked a little stunned by her kiss.
Lorena starts to seduce Axel and he’s saved by the commercial.
Or not. She wants him to make love to her and she’s attractive and insistent. He looks like he’s going to be sick. Shirts off, on the couch, she’s all over him, he pushes her away. “I can’t, I can’t!”
Fedra is in the process of telling the concerned maids she doesn’t give a cumin if the old nut job dies again when Eman comes home. She dismisses the maids to the kitchen as Eman tells her he wants to discuss Marianela.
Back at the party Doris thought bubbles “That’s not the same piece of a** (cola = tail) Andre was with when we met. He must change girls as often as he changes belts.” Carla calls for a change of partners and Doris grabs Andre, Oliver grabs andre’s girl and Brandon grabs Marianela. Bman slow dances with her, stares into her eyes and tells her she’ll never be unhappy again.
Oliver buys Brandon a beer and says he saw Bman and Mari dancing cheek to cheek (cachetito con cachetote, aka cachete con cachete). Man talk ensues.
Lorena asks Axel if he’s impotent or what? Then she slaps him and tells him that Fabiola told her but she didn’t believe it, he doesn’t like women. To be honest, if I liked women I still wouldn’t do either Fabiola or Lorena. Sorry girls, but you just don’t have it going on.
Bman and Mari are at the party talking and he wonders doesn’t she hate the people who have caused her so much pain? No man, they’re family, she sez. He takes her hand and tells her he gets why people love her so much, she’s very tender hearted. She reminds him she has her aunt Netty and everyone else at the house too.
He starts to get all gooey, tells her she has beautiful eyes and removes her glasses. She thinks that beer is making him act funny. “It’s not the beer” he says, and moves in for a kiss.
Tomorrow: Are Mari and Brandon novios?
Labels: llena
I still can't get over I'm watching the same actor from MP, but Brandon had me melting last night. The cutest thing: that little wink he threw Mari when he offered to go to the party so Netty would let everyone go. (And those girls are how old??). He so deserves a real sweetheart, but lord, he's destined for Ilitia. She better go thru some MAJOR transformation.
So now Fedra is zeroed in on the General. If Emi doesn't see what she's up to, it's his relative, then he's more than "in love" - he's just plain stupid. But I have faith in him...
Poor Eman - some of the men in this TN are a little slow on the uptake, but I like that Mari made him think about why he wants her back at the house so badly. And she won't go back. Valentino does wonders with just facial expressions. Now we just need him to discover they aren't cousins and that will be the game changer for his emotions.
can we just get to the point about Axel???
And a whole episode without Agent O and Kristel. Joy.
Loved "Bman", "man talk ensues","Ilitia sobs that her skanky cellmates stole her bling" and my favorite, "To be honest, if I liked women I still wouldn’t do either Fabiola or Lorena. Sorry girls, but you just don’t have it going on." Excellent!
The highlight for me was Ilitia checking around to be sure no one was looking before she tucked into Bman's food gift with reckless abandon.
The lowlight was the painful, almost impossible to watch unsuccessful seduction of Axel.
daisy, I am unabashedly enthusiastic about Brandon as well. How can we not be when "Bman slow dances with her, stares into her eyes and tells her she’ll never be unhappy again". Sigh...
Have a good weekend everyone!
Diana
I hate to see Fedra messing with the General. I really like him.
I am going to be on a trip for about 3 weeks with no cable and probably no internet access. Hopefully I will be able to get internet at some point and be able to check in here. If not I will be playing catch up when I get back. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Yes, I ended up being a bit long-winded after all. The play was great, then I remembered I had to make a pot-luck item for work today (corn muffins, so easy) and then the episode ended up being quite good. I liked pretty much all of it except Axel's scenes. Stop the torment already!
Brandon is sweet with Mari, but his personality really pops when he's with Ilitia.
TGIF!!
Ilitia was so cute with that torta. My favorite scenes have been those with her and Brandon. They remind me a bit of Beto and Coni (Gancho). So unlikely but so inevitable and such sparks.
I do enjoy watching Brandon and Mari together as well. Very comfortable and warm.
I would be worried about what Fedra is trying to do with the General, but he didn't get this far being a helpless victim.
Carlos
Why would any lawyer let Fedra threaten him like that? At the very least he needs to let the General know that he should get another lawyer, one Fedra doesn't know about. I can't believe she's trying to starve the old guy now. Well, I can believe it, but what an idiot. Just give the household staff more proof of how evil you are, and it's not like they aren't going to take food down when she isn't around.
I wonder what Axel thought was going to happen when he went to Aldo's. Previously I sort of had the impression that maybe the two of them were "special friends," but after that ambush I guess not. And Lorena, yikes. What makes her and Fabiola think that if a guy who has never shown any interest in them won't fall into bed, he must be gay? You're just not appealing, girls, regardless of any man's theoretical tendencies. Axel should have taken Gretel with him after all. It was a painful scene to watch, but well done.
How long do you think we'll have to wait for Emanuel to find out Emiliano is not his father? I hope not too long, because our A plot really can't progress at all until that happens.
I liked Netty’s acting class scene. It’s fun to see Laura Flores have such a blast with her part. I hadn’t known before that she could do comedy.
The scene with the bicentennial brochure was a real eye-roller. Super blatant.
Axel had said before that he didn’t like Lorena, so why did his friend pick her as the seductress?
I think Emiliano was saying that if he doesn’t have Marianela at his house, he’s going to be in big trouble with Tia Carlota, but I’m not sure.
Yes, that brochure placement thing was completely over the top. I got a good laugh out of it. I'm sure it is interesting, but come on. Again I was reminded of how much better they do product placement in Camaleones. This week the main hottie was eating some snack food, and you could see the package sitting there prominently on the table in front of him. Then another guy came along and he offered him some, and of course the kid accepted, but they said no more about it and just had a conversation related to the story. You definitely got the message of the product name and that it's supposed to be good, but it was more normal, like how people in real life would act.
