Llena de Amor #87 (Mex. 92) Tue 12/14/10 Horndogs run amok.
Caveat lector, folks. I was reconfiguring my various entertainment apparati and now I can’t get the closed captions to work. May have more mistakes than usual tonight. As always, please offer corrections if you’ve got ‘em.
Repeating from last night, MariVicky has stayed late at the agency to finish her proposal for the campaign. I’m glad she has finally called them out on the crappiness of their publicity work…we shall see whether she’s any better. Emanuel is impressed with what she’s done, but I don’t know whether that’s saying anything. She’s ready to leave, but he says there’s a nuclear war and they have to stay in the shelter. Well, not that, but the doors are locked and CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT A KEY, which he left at home. Alrighty then, they’re stuck here for the night, together. MariVicky rolls her eyes.
Over at the police station, Oliver complains to Brandon some more about the handsy newshound. Brandon is not as sympathetic as Ollie would like. Brandon gets a call on his radio about a 5-4 in progress and heads out, ordering Oliver to stay. Good dog.
MariVicky is hyperventilating, calling for help at the front door of the agency. Emanuel strolls after her, unconcerned. He reiterates that the night watchman is definitely not coming; Emanuel gave him the night off since he and his wife just had a baby. Mari resumes yelling and banging on the door. Emanuel tells her to stop shouting, because no one can hear her…just like the murderer says to the lass he’s kidnapped in horror stories. Mari suggests they call the firefighters to get them out. Emanuel pretends to be excited about this great idea…but wait. He “remembers” that there’s a security system on the phones so they won’t work after hours (as if), and his cell phone battery is dead. Well, darn, they have no option but to spend the night here together. No freaking way, says Mari. Emanuel seductively munches chocolates at her.
Across town, Mauricio is also held hostage, at the end of Ilitia’s gun. He tries to calm her down and talk her out of shooting him. Don’t listen to him, Ilitia. Plug that orange full of holes like bullets were cloves. Ilitia cries that because of what he did, she hasn’t been able to enjoy any intimacy with her new husband. “I told you being with me would ruin you for all other men,” he smarms. He doesn’t think she’ll actually shoot. Besides, he tells her, she shouldn’t get her hands dirty and go to prison; he’s the one who should go to jail. Ilitia says she doesn’t want to get him sent to jail just for him to get out two days later; she’s going to put an end to him here and now. She pulls the trigger…but the gun isn’t loaded. Agent O laughs. Ilitia huddles against the wall and he creeps in close and grabs her.
Oh, gross, Axel and Lorena are in bed, basking in…whatever, I don’t want to know how they went from that big fight to this. Did Axel lose his memory again? Oh, wait, guess not. Lorena wants a second chance at their relationship. Axel says he got what he wanted and he’ll call when he wants more, but in the meantime, he doesn’t want to see or hear from her. He tosses some money at her and heads into the bathroom.
Back to the police station. GretelMan apologetically tries to explain his/her behavior at the raid to Oliver. He was just nervous, first time out reporting during big dangerous action and all. “Oh, so we hired a reporter with no experience? You lost your virginity with me?” Oliver asks. Manolo/Gretel is totally flustered. “What?” Manolo/Gretel says he was just worried when he thought Oliver was hurt; that’s why he messed up the operation; so sorry. Oliver says if they’re going to work together, Manolo needs to manage his meandering manos, understand? He marches around the desk and grabs Manolo by the collar, pulling him up close to reinforce the threat. Doris bursts into the office and Oliver pretends to be friendly with Manolo. He says he’s going to teach Manolo to be a proper manly man, like so: Oliver grabs Doris and pulls her close and does his best seductive sweet-talk act at her, while Doris alternately cooperates with the demonstration and shoots alarmed looks at Gretel. Steam is pouring out of Gretel’s ears.
Lorena encounters Delicia in the hallway on her walk of shame. She claims everything is hunky-dory with her adoring hunk, who forgave her everything. So how about Delicia fetches him a glass of juice to replenish all the energy he expended?
Mari paces the agency foyer, trying to forestall the nervous breakdown. I am still stunned by her choice of office attire. Her skirt, which is only about two inches long to begin with, seems to have a slit right in the front. I guess in publicity school they don’t teach you to leave anything to the imagination. Emanuel drives around the corner in a little-kid electric car. Mari decides she’s locked in a manicomio. Emanuel says he’s going to find them something to eat. Mari says she’s not hungry, she just wants to leave. Eman wonders why she can’t stand to be around him. She must like André instead, right? “Sure, he’s a hottie,” Mari agrees. “He has what you lack.” He-manuel jumps out of his hot little red convertible and grabs Mari, pulling her tightly against him. I guess he figures since she’s already accused him of sexual harassment, he may as well actually do it. He tells her not to provoke him, or she’ll pay the consequences.
Another office, another unwanted abrazo. Doris tries to get Oliver to leave her alone. She reminds him they are just friends. Oliver shoots pointed looks at Manolo while pinning Doris against the door and lustily saying they should be more than friends, because he can’t stop thinking about her. GretelMan can’t take it anymore and launches a gentlemanly defense of Doris. Oliver is ready to settle it with fisticuffs, but GretelMan says something about him being on guard all night (I think?). GretelMan puts his/her arm around Doris and says they’re going to dinner together. They waltz out. Oliver entertains us with a spirited impersonation of Manolo, then chases after them.
Agent Orange throws Ilitia onto the sofa and starts on round two of rapey snakiness. She fights hard, to no avail.
Mari tries to throw a phallic objet d'art through the glass to escape. Emanuel takes the thing away from her. He’s got dinner. She does not care to join him. He asks why she’s so hostile and bitter. He takes a seat and invites her to sit down for a little therapy chat. He’s got some theories about her psyche he’d like to discuss. Oddly, Mari is not interested in that. Emanuel suggests they toast. He picks up the big soda bottle he’s been lugging around and jiggling, opens it, and naturally shoots most of the contents all over Mari’s inadequate clothing. {Total aside here…is that fire extinguisher case behind Mari empty? They’d really better hope they don’t have a fire, with no extinguisher and no way to call the bomberos (ha, as if).} Mari accuses him of spraying her on purpose. He claims innocence, not at all convincingly. MariVicky says this is just another of the terrible mean jokes Mari told her he loves. He does find the whole thing very funny, which makes her more mad.
Here he comes to save the day. Rapus interruptus as Ilitia’s knight in shining pink polo shirt swaggers in, gun pointed at Malicio. Bet this one is loaded, too.
Emanuel tells MariVicky she deserved this because she’s been so rude. But she can take a shower in the dressing room. “And then what? I have no other clothes.” She says he set the whole thing up. “Do you really think I planned all this, so you’d have to take off your dress and I could hop in the shower with you?” “Don’t even think about trying to get a look at me naked, because it will be the last thing you ever see. I’ll tear your eyes out.” She stomps off toward the shower while Emanuel covers his eyes with his hands, peeking through his fingers.
Which, coincidentally, is how I usually watch Malicio’s scenes. But this one I can watch with eyes wide open, because the skunk doesn’t have the upper hand. Ilitia cowers behind Brandon, who still has the gun aimed at the vermin. She urges him to shoot, which Mau offers as proof that he’s the victim here. Brandon demands an explanation of what’s going on. Malicio says Ilitia came here with a gun and shot him, and it’s a miracle it wasn’t loaded and he’s still alive. But he and Ilitia have been lovers for two years. “Liar! This ratbastard ruined my life!” Ilitia tells Brandon. Malicio claims she’s just trying to erase her history now that she’s married. Brandon holsters his gun and says they’ll both have to come down to the station and file a report. Mal says he’s not going anywhere. Right here, he is going to accuse Ilitia of attempted murder, and if she isn’t thrown in jail, he’ll accuse Brandon of covering it up.
Delicia sadly gathers up Axel’s strewn bed linens. He comes out of the bathroom, clad in only a towel, and tries to approach her. “Don’t touch me! What, did Lorena leave you unsatisfied, and now you want to have a little fun with me, too?” He wants to explain, but she doesn’t want to hear his lame stories. He recovered his memories, but he still is with Lorena, and Delicia is left all alone. “Stop telling me lies about how you like me and want to kiss me,” she says tearily. “They aren’t lies! I really do like you!” “That is not true. If it were, you wouldn’t still be carrying on with that slut, especially after what she did to you!” Delicia departs, and Axel tells himself he’s an idiot. He is not wrong.
It’s getting late, and Netty is worried that Vicky hasn’t come home from the agency of vipers yet. Also, she wants to ask about Eva’s ashes in the suitcase. Gladiola suggests they ask Vicky’s brother. Well, he hasn’t turned up yet, either! He must still be at the police station with Oliver. Gladiola says Doris went down there to find him, and speaking of…that silly girl wants to be Oliver’s novia! What a terrible idea. Netty says he’s a great guy…but yes, there is the minor roadblock of his being helplessly still in love with Gretel. However, Netty thinks that’s even more reason they should date…it might help him forget Gretel. Gladiola doesn’t like the idea of ruining a good friendship for a noviazgo that will never work. It’s as ridiculous as if Brandon and Consuelo were to suddenly decide to be novios!
Doris, Oliver, and GretelMan are in a bar with a dance floor. Oliver is shakin’ it to the music, and Doris nags him to go get the beers. Oliver thinks Manolo should do it, but oh, wait, the only man here is Oliver. Apparently only men can walk to the bar to get the beer, so Oliver heads over. Once he’s gone, Doris and Gretel scoot together for a confab. I am really having trouble hearing clearly over the music…captions would be nice here…but I think Doris asks about the articles GretelMan is writing and GM remembers having left something in the police station…or needs to send the article before morning…or something…and Doris suggests they go back to Brandon’s office to take care of it. Gretel says she can go by herself and Doris should stay here with Oliver. Doris warns her to be very careful, out by herself at night. GM flings his/her arms in a flamenco-style display of manliness just as Oliver returns to the table.
Still at the dance bar, an emcee announces a dance contest. Oliver says Doris could sign up with this louse Manolo, although he probably has two left feet. GretelMan suggests Oliver isn’t exactly qualified, either. Oliver says he’s not only qualified, he will win. GM heads out to the police station (with another “be careful!” from Doris), and Oliver and Doris go to sign up for the contest.
Delicia’s doing the laundry. Axel comes in and wants to explain. She says he doesn’t have to explain anything; she’s just an employee and he can do whatever he wants. His hair looks like he sprayed it whilst being struck by lightning. Axel insists that he was just very angry and acted without thinking. He just wanted revenge against Lorena. “Great revenge. She left grinning from ear to ear.” Axel reminds Delicia that she was the one who insisted they just be friends. “But I really like you, and not just to have fun with for a little while. When you decide you want a serious relationship, let me know.”
Fedra punches at her calculator and cackles over the amount Netty owes on her mortgage. She’ll never be able to pay that off with an actor’s salary! Hahahahaha. Bernardo flounces in and tells her Axel has recovered his memory. “Do you know what this means?!”
Mari’s in the shower at the agency, wondering how she could have fallen in love with that jerk, and wondering even more why she’s STILL in love with him, even though he tried to kill her. She decides she’s got to cure herself of this illness. Out in the dressing room, Emanuel approaches, asking himself why he’s so attracted to this woman. Well, it can’t be helped. He strips off his jacket and shirt. Mari steps out of the shower and shrieks when she sees him, quickly clutching a towel against herself. Emanuel tells her to relax; he sees women mostly undressed all the time; it’s part of his job. He neglects to point out that she’s had the goods on display all day long. He just took off his shirt so she could wear it, since her dress is soaked. Mari reluctantly grabs the shirt.
Alone in Brandon’s office, GretelMan calls Jairo and tells him s/he’s got a hot story for him. Fedra Curiel is dangerous, but they will not rest until her evil deeds are brought to light.
Fedra’s flipping out. Spiderus reminds her that the doctors said Axel could regain his memory at any time. Now that he has, what do they do? Fedra wants Spidey to erase Axel’s mind. “Erase what, mom?” Axel asks, strolling in. Spidey scuttles away and Fedra puts on her best caring mommy act. Axel is not falling for it. “Who do you think you’re fooling?! You are not going to manipulate me again!” Fedra reflexively falls into her pouty “I only ever wanted the best for my children” routine, but Axel lets her have it with both barrels. She ruined his childhood with the whorehouse visit; she wrecked everything else about his life like she did to his siblings, and he regrets ever having defended her! The Momster says he’s an ingrate; who is he to judge her?! If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t even exist! “Well, it’s not my fault I was ever born! But if God had asked me, I swear I would have asked to be born to another woman!”
When Mari reappears wearing the shirt that is completely indecent and yet covers more than the dress she was wearing all day on purpose, Emanuel has a romantic dinner all set up in the stark white studio. The studio curiously seems to also contain a bed. Getting ahead of himself, isn’t he? Emanuel admires Mari’s hotness and invites her to sit. Mari hesitates and has a little flashback of the romantic night they spent together in the studio. She starts to walk away, and Eman hurries to remind her that they can’t leave, so she might as well eat something, and he’s even fixed up a bed in case she wants to rest! Mari remembers the day she and Kristel “caught” Ilitia and Emanuel in a compromising position. She gets annoyed and Emanuel assures her his intentions are pure. She asks how many women he’s had in that bed. He thinks about that for a few moments, then changes the subject. If they’re going to work together, they should agree to a truce. He gets all close and flatters her while she gets all hot and bothered. Just as he’s about to kiss her, she pushes him away angrily. Mari says she’s really uncomfortable, being half naked around him when he can’t control his impulses. To make things more fair, Emanuel takes off his pants and offers them to her. Somehow, that doesn’t help. She orders him to put them back on and behave himself.
Fedra follows Axel into his room, spewing her usual crap. Axel is mad as hell, and he is not taking it. He is furious that his mother took advantage of his vulnerable state to pay a girl he didn’t even like before to be his girlfriend. Fed insists she was just trying to make him a man, to save him from the ugly things people were saying about him, that he was [something censored]. Axel says now he remembers every one of her lies and deceits, and how she turned him against his father and Marianela. She made him believe Mari was destroying the family, but it was Fedra the whole time! Fedra slaps him across the face.
Emanuel has declined to wear pants. He pulls Mari over to the table to eat. They continue to fight and Mari yanks the tablecloth, knocking the food and wine all over the floor. She struts out, and Eman nearly falls off his chair to get a good look at the rear view.
In the home office, Emiliano pulls from his briefcase a copy of TV y Novelas with Netty Pavon on the cover. He reaches into his drawer and takes out some of his collection of other magazines, all of which feature Netty, and smokily intones that he can’t forget her. He feels like he’s failed her family, though, and his brother, by not protecting Marianela. Ever since she left the household just hasn’t been the same. Emanuel even went through with a terrible marriage to drown his loneliness. And Emiliano is stuck in hell with a woman he doesn’t love. In another drawer, Emiliano finds the papers about Netty’s mortgage and is stunned. No, he won’t permit this. {I am stunned that he keeps the Netty magazines in an office Fedra uses, and the whole place hasn’t been burned down.}
Netty’s sitting on her bed with the case of Eva’s ashes, crying. Gladiola tells her this is kind of rude, and she should just wait until Vicky gets home to ask her about it. Netty shows her the framed photo of Eva she also found while rudely rooting through Vicky’s luggage, and says Mari would never have parted with it unless she were dead. She will not rest until she finds out what is going on!
Mari and Emanuel fight some more. She’s annoyed that he seems to be fixated on prettiness in women and doesn’t care what’s in their heads. He insists that although he is stunned by her great beauty, he is absolutely interested in her mind. But he thinks she’s cold, empty, and insensitive. Mari picks up a metal ball and threatens to throw it at him. He treats this as a game, not believing she’ll do it. “I’m going to kill you the way you killed me, Emanuel Ruith y de Teresa,” she thinks, and she chucks the ball, hitting him square in the forehead. He collapses in the chair, unconscious, and she runs over and grabs his face, trying to wake him up.
Brandon escorts Ilitia into his office and agrees that he knows Malicio is a ratbastard, but he doesn’t have any proof. If Ilitia has any, she should cough it up. Ilitia cries and says it wouldn’t do any good; he’d probably just spend a few days in jail and he’d be out again with vengeance on his mind. He already ruined her life. Brandon says as far as he knows, Ilitia and Malicio have been lovers for years, and Ilitia must have liked it. He’s tired of her little tantrums.
Emanuel wakes up with an intense desire to kiss Vicky. He pins her against the wall. Fin de capítulo.
Mañana: Ilitia catches Emanuel sneaking into the house, wearing Marianela’s dress. Marianela makes a threatening anonymous call to Fedra.

I have one comment about this episode, but it's about two men. Both Emanuel and Mauricio think with their penises and nothing else. For goodness sake, Emanuel is married; albeit to someone he doesn't love, but still married. The guy was lusting after Marianela like a stallion after a foal in heat. Mauricio just needs to be castrated, but I believe Brandon will figure out what happened to Ilitia. Great recap.

Julia, you did it again! Great recap and love your little asides thrown in.
Eman has sort of lost it actually. But I think we're supposed to think that the beard, the antics, are all because he lost Mari and subsequently lost himself. Have to say when he rode in on that kiddie car, I cracked up. He has become a bit of a teenager in his behavior,unhappy with his life, and compensating by acting out - will Mari/Vicky turn him back to the caring manly, man he was soon?
I loved, loved, loved the way Axel let Fedra have it. (Did not love the fact he took mini-skank to bed one more time - Delicia had a right to be ticked at him.) But there's still hope for these too.
Could not believe Emi found the pension lease. Hurray! so maybe he'll be the night in shining armor for Netty? We can only hope.
Those previews - Eman in Mari's dress - lord, Valentino sure isn't afraid to get crazy. love it!

I really enjoyed this episode and thank you for the great recap. I think you did a masterful job, and very funny too!
I confess that a few months ago I took a sneak peek at a few advance epsidoes of Llena and this is one of the ones I saw (just a few minutes). I couldn't understand a lot of what they were saying (the episode had no CCs) and so didn't know what was going on really, but I remember thinking that it looked like Emanuel was losing it and was very unhappy. My instincts were right-on. He is not happy. Though it is troubling that he's hitting on someone who he thinks is a stranger while he's still a newlywed! What's up with that, Emanuel!
A big LOL for the avances tomorrow with Emanuel wearing the dress! Too hilarious. I am looking forward to this.

Great job Julia. I so like your style. This is very very funny and gave me second thoughts about an episode that I didn't really enjoy watching all that much. As for the captions last night... they were all over the place. Completely absent for the first couple of minutes... then rolled by at dizzying speed (I guess the captioner finally woke up), then were alternatively excellent and awful. I think they must have hired Tarso (the pretty idiot-boy from India) as last night's captionista. All in all you may have been better off without them.
I'm still wondering why Vicky didn't try the door handle at least once. Might have been worth a shot. That whole setup was icky at best and downright frightening at worst. He seemed to have things planned to the finest detail. All that was missing were rose petals strewn all over the place.
Ilitia, Ilitia, Ilitia! No bullets? Really? And here I said all those nice things about you yesterday. Go sit in the corner... you're in timeout young lady.
Cheers for Dee. Way to put porcupine-boy in his place. Now do something about his hair.

Thanks for a great recap Julia. Your comments throughout were the best (Mari/Eman's shirt was still indecent but managed to cover more than her dress; I guess they don't learn how to leave things to the imagination in publicity school).
I'm so relieved that Ilitia didn't get raped again. I hope she tells Brandon what happened. Agent O needs to go down with castration as a parting gift.
It was great watching Axel let Fedra have it. I hope he and Dee reconcile quickly. Perhaps once they are together his hair will be better reflecting his new improved state of mind.

Julia, great recap, thanks.
I loved Eman wearing the dress. Fedra will have a cow thinking that her favorite hijo is a cross-dresser. He can't explain this one way so I think he should play it up.
Emil better come to his fair lady's rescue or he will be off of my tele-novio list. Fedra's downfall needs to start muy pronto.
I am becoming weary of her smirks and curls.

I can't help thinking that Marianela new look makes her look like an anime cartoon.

Perfect title Julie. Last night was VERY Horndog. Uncomfortably so. Nevertheless, the visual of Emanuael and Mari/Vicky in brief attire, reflected against an all-white background was stunning. Enjoyed the artistry of it all.
And enjoyed the artistry of your recap as well. Your transitions were so nifty...as in "held hostage" and "another office, another unwanted abrazo"...
Fun phrases: meandering manos, knight in shining pink polo shirt, sprayed it while being struck by lightning, Spidey scuttles away, smokily intones....
Just delightful read for a rather squeamish episode. Well done. Can't correct a thing since I watched last night without closed captions and without my headphones which help me understand so much better. So as far as I'm concerned, you got it 100 per cent correct!

Oh, and Sylvia...thanks for switching nights with me. I'll do tomorrow and you'll do tonight. Muchas gracias.
I'm surprised Mari didn't try not only the door handles, but also the phones. I can't believe they really don't work. How about a back door? Roof hatch? A studio like that where they probably have to bring big set pieces in and out probably has a big overhead door controlled by a button inside. Oh, well, the hostage situation may be utterly wrong, but it's very funny. Emanuel is a hoot when he's losing his sanity.
I really hope Ilitia tells Brandon what Mauricio did. I know she's just worried he'll get only a slap on the hand and then come back for more, but maybe they can figure out a way to keep him under control.

Hi all, sorry to be silent, I just haven't had a chance to read the recap fully yet. What I've read is awesome. Julia you are better than ever. More later...
Thanks Julia for the recap. I agree Eman is acting out because he lost Mari so he's just floating along trying to find some kind of meaning in his life. I hope he starts to see through MariVictoria's coolness and get to the bottom of why she's so hostile toward him.
Axel is one angry young man. With him now remembering what really happened and who's to blame, he's back to the brooding person he was before instead of the Stepford Son. I felt bad for Delicia. She really likes him. His hair does look like he stuck in finger in the electrical socket however.
I wonder will Emil pay off Netty's mortgage since now he knows about the foreclosure.
I think Ilitia will tell Brandon what really happened to her.

I know Lorena is a skank but I was still disgusted by how Axel treated her. Send her packing, yes. But don't treat her like a...... well, the word is too harsh for me to even write.
Regardless of her behavior, HIS behavior is HIS choice, and that scene did not reflect well on him.

Judy, I agree completely. It was totally and completely morally bankrupt. It was bad enough when he was hitting the sack with her not knowing she was paid for the job (though she was obsessed with him and would have done it for free, I think). But when he knew, and dragged her upstairs for another roll in the hay, he didn't punish her, he just demeaned himself and hurt Delicia.
Since this is a telenovela and bad deeds tend to be punished, I'm worried about the repercussions. Will Lorena be pregnant? Or pretend to be? I hope not.

Julia, what a wonderful read. Loved all your quips and fun turns of phrase as always. The orange & cloves image was excellent. I also liked Gretelman, and the knight in shining pink polo shirt, and many many more.
Anon – I’d noticed the anime look too! The poofy hair, the giant eyes and the small mouth and chin..
This episode kinda creeped me out. Yes, we know that’s Eman, but that’s the kind of situation, and the kind of behavior on the part of the man that is very dangerous and scary for a woman. Then there were the badly behaving fellows – Axel trying to persuade sweet Delicia that she’s the one when he’s just bedded another, Eman being a complete jerk, and we had Brandon force a kiss on Ilitia the other night. These are the good guys?
What was up with Eman walking into the room where Mari was taking a shower? And the shower door was semi-see-through. Do you actually need a shower if you have some 7-up on you?
Anon – I’d noticed the anime look too! The poofy hair, the giant eyes and the small mouth and chin..
This episode kinda creeped me out. Yes, we know that’s Eman, but that’s the kind of situation, and the kind of behavior on the part of the man that is very dangerous and scary for a woman. Then there were the badly behaving fellows – Axel trying to persuade sweet Delicia that she’s the one when he’s just bedded another, Eman being a complete jerk, and we had Brandon force a kiss on Ilitia the other night. These are the good guys?

Maggie, that's exactly what I was thinking. Trapping her, not letting her communicate, the whole thing such an obvious setup to force her to be there alone with him ALL NIGHT...and take her clothes off...it's a horror story, not a fairytale. They were able to make it comedic because we know he's a good guy (though it's getting hard to tell) and won't hurt her, but it's still an utterly creepy thing to do. Especially considering he just met "Victoria."
Does Valentino Lanus have it in his contract that he has to hold the leading lady sexily hostage? Because he seems to do it in every role. Love shack in Amar Sin Limites, handcuffs in the attic in Tontas.

What this show needs is a good shrink. I'd love to see segments of the various characters in therapy with some droll psychiatrist. Emiliano needs to get a group rate and send all the Ruiz y de Teresa kids.
Really? Fantastic recap but, even suspending any hope of belief, who can really buy the notion that Emanuel doesn't realize that's Marinela? Forget that it looks exactly like her. He touched her hands and face and still...Yeech. Thank Heavens I saved a lot of episodes of Dinero and Nombre and can watch some of those favorites when this one and STUD get too impossible. Maybe it's the time of year. Do they run the truly weird story Christmas thinking they won't be watched so much?

Hi all, Julia thanks again for a wickedly hilarious recap. Eman's stalker-like behavior was creeping me out last night. Kidnapping is not cutesy but I know it was supposed to be. Had to keep reminding myself he's the good guy, he's the good guy.
I kept waiting for Eman to keel over from doctored chocolates. Maybe MariVicki added laxatives to them instead of some other poisonous thing and the results are pending. T'would serve him right.
Barbara, don't forget Axel, he's also a penis-thinker, at least he's been acting that way lately.
I SO want Ilitia to tell Brandon about Mauricio. I think she will and I hope it's sooner rather than later.
I laugh every time I see Gretelman. Great name by the way.
I can't wait to see how Eman ends up in Vicki's togs. Should be interesting.
My closed caps were all wonkus too, have been all week.

Julia, captions or not, this is a wonderful read! I think you captured it wonderfully! So many snarky lines, so little blogger space….
“Caveat lector, folks.” LOL—Just how many years of Latin did you have?
“he says there’s a nuclear war and they have to stay in the shelter.” ROTFL!
“Brandon gets a call on his radio about a 5-4 in progress and heads out, ordering Oliver to stay. Good dog.” ROTFL!!! Yes, that was a shriek you just heard from me…
“Plug that orange full of holes like bullets were cloves.” Oh, HOWL!
“Her skirt, which is only about two inches long to begin with, seems to have a slit right in the front.” I was hoping it was one of those funky skorts from years gone by. You’re likely too young to remember those. ;-)
“He-manuel” – LOL! You may have used this before, but I wasn’t here to see it, so it’s funny again!
Poor Julia, you really are worried about this fire hazard thing, aren’t you? You’d make such a great school administrator.
“Ilitia’s knight in shining pink polo shirt” LOL!
“Fedra wants Spidey to erase Axel’s mind. “Erase what, mom?”” Didn’t she have someone do that to one of her twins in her last telenovela? It’s so last year.
“{I am stunned that he keeps the Netty magazines in an office Fedra uses, and the whole place hasn’t been burned down.}” LOL!
Fascinating comments from everyone! Carlos, you are so right about last night’s captions! Ilitia and Brandon had the same conversation three entire times in the captions while the audio rolled on to new stuff. Time to talk to them again, Amigo.
If Vicky really wants out, just open or break a window set off the alarm already.
