Llena de Amor #96 (Mex. 101) Tue 12/28/10 Delicia hauls Brandon off to jail, Oli wants to find a boyfriend for Gretel, Fidel is the man of the house
Julia is out of town and I am doing tonight's recap for her. There were no closed captions at all tonight so if you think I've left something important out or need to fix something please let me know and I'll add to/fix the recap. Thanks!
Is it me or did things seem a bit skewed in tonight's episode? Besides what I mentioned in the title we can add that Ilitia was being totally honest for the first time, nobody cared what Fedra said, and Bernardo is still bleeding all over the house. So let's see what's happening in the big DF with the familia Ruiz y de Teresa...
Gretel/Manolo (Gman) gets all up in Oliver’s face and accuses him of being El Lirio de Plata. She vows he’s hiding something and she’ll find out what it is.
Next we see Ilitia stomping down the stairs with her red luggage and Eman trotting behind her trying to apologize. The rest of the family and Brandon join them with Brandon commenting that it looks like there’s trouble in paradise. She tells them she’s outta there and from now on he can do whatever he wants.
Fedra yells at Emiliano “It was you!” and she points at MariVicky “And you too! You caused this!”
Eman follows Ilitia out of the house and begs her to stay. I can’t believe I’m agreeing with her, but she rightly points out that she was with Eman during his worst time, at his side always, and now he has forgotten everything they had together. She knew there was something going on and she’s sick of it. He pleads temporary insanity, doesn’t know what came over him. She concludes the conversation by saying they are going to get divorced, ciao!
Back in the house MariVicky tells Fedra not to blame her, Eman and Ilitia had a troubled marriage long before she showed up. Brandon pipes up and as he gestures he waves the plastic bag containing the bloody knife which reminds me, is Bernardo bleeding out somewhere in the kitchen? As they all argue Delicia, in Brandon’s grip, whimpers and is clearly in shock. What is wrong with these people? Axel makes an anemic attempt to protect Delicia and MariVicky jumps in to say Delicia is incapable of murdering anyone. This announcement elicits a suspicious glare from Fedra.
Oliver’s boozing it up at his favorite watering hole and telling the bartender that el pollito’s got a crush on him but of course he doesn’t return the feeling and by the way, stop looking at him like that because he prefers women. To prove it he starts making out with the nearest hot chickie. His own chickie with a moustache enters and is incensed at Oliver and his lying ways.
MariVicky gives them some lame excuse about Mari telling her all about Delicia but it doesn’t matter because Brandon escorts Delicia out the door. They are detained temporarily by Eman but when MariVicky and Axel join them Delicia shouts that the one good thing about going to jail is she’ll never have to see his face again, never! With that she grabs Brandon and drags him off to the police car. The girl knows how to take control.
MariVicky also leaves in a huff; the brothers roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders and recite in stereo “women!”
Lorenzo and his “models” are playing spin the bottle but all he can think about is his little Christian. Well only for a moment I guess because they shake their booties and he becomes all horn-dog again. We’ll blame it on a short attention span.
Fedra is irate when Eman tells her Ilitia wants a divorce and it’s his fault. Fedra insists that he do whatever it takes to save his marriage. Find her, beg her forgiveness, give her flowers, whatever but she does not want a divorce in this family. He tells her he’s sick of her butting into his life and he’ll move out if that’s what it takes to get a little privacy.
OMG Nereida is giving Bernardo first aid with Hydrogen Peroxide and gauze pads? Considering the subject I’m not complaining, but it is a knife wound after all. What about internal injuries and infection? Axel comes in demanding to know the truth (from these two?). Unfortunately the CCs are not working tonight and I can’t understand them through their clenched teeth but Axel punches Bernardo a couple of times in the nuts and then the face so all’s well that ends well.
Over at Nety’s the ladies tell Consuelo that she’s been acting weird lately, must be a man. She deflects the conversation by bringing up Oliver and Manolo. Isn’t Manolo a little, er, well he’s in love with Oliver. Doris tries hard to keep a poker face.
Oli’s at the bar getting drunk with the hot chickie while Gman pounds shots at the bar and thought bubbles aloud. Tonight this bartender gets to hear it all. Gman joins the gyrating couple and starts calling Oliver names. The chickie’s all whoaaa I didn’t know he had a boyfriend don’t worry I’m running away now. Oliver falls off his chair and tells the crowd he likes women! A drunk Gman throws his/her arms around Oli and swears undying love. She is like an octopus and Oli can hardly extricate himself from her grip but when he does he drags her out of the bar. Well the patrons sure got a show tonight.
Malicia demands his one phone call and he uses it to call Lowrenzo who is demonstrating his dance moves to the models. Lowrenzo tells Fonskanka that he’s super busy right now and can’t talk. Fonskanka tells him if he wants to find his son he’ll listen. He’s to convince the judge to release him this very night otherwise Lowman will be negotiating with Garduno to get his son back.
Axel punches Spiderus again and tells him that if he touched (or presses charges against?) Delicia he’ll tell the whole world that he and Fedra kept his sister trapped in the basement.
Bernardo manages to spit an evil laugh out of his drippy, bloody mouth, it’s super gross. Axel tells him they found all the paraphernalia down in the basement proving they kept his sister like an animal and he swears he’ll find her. Hey Axel, way to tell your enemy everything you know about him. He punches Spidey again right in his wound and Spidey threatens Axel that maybe he could disappear just like his sister.
Oliver drags an extremely drunk Gman into the pension and Netty gets all over his case for getting Victoria’s brother drunk. Gman keeps muttering he loves Oli and Netty has to avert her eyes. “Is it true? He’s in love with you?” she whispers. Netty says something about Manolo sleeping downstairs and Gman totally freaks out.
El Comisario gets the word from the judge that he is to free Fonskanka and boy is El Comis pissed off to the nines.
Lowman visits Orangey in jail and wants proof that he knows of his son’s whereabouts and Orangey displays little Chris’s medallion to Lowman’s cara impactada.
Christian and Manzanita get favored treatment since I’ll bet they are the only orphans who get to play at Muneca’s house which they are doing now. Oh goodie they get to spend the night and it sounds like the rest of the week too. This is where the kiddies are supposed to jump for joy; Manzanita acts her part but our little terror ignores them for his toy cars. Fidel comments that the house is filled with happiness with the kids are there. Muneca comments that she wants the kids to feel more at home for when she adopts them. Fidel wonders if Lowman will feel as excited at the prospect but Muneca says if not he can pack his things and leave. Wow, I didn’t know Fidel could have such a big smile.
Orangey promises that little Chris is fine but Lowman doesn’t get to see him until Orangey smells the air of the city. Apparently he is the distrustful type and doesn’t like air he can’t see.
Oli hauls Gman upstairs and is rewarded with an “I love you Oliver”. Gman loses his glasses and Oli still doesn’t recognize him. Oli helps Gman take his shoes off and very nicely tells Gman that he doesn’t love him. Dude, can you not recognize this is Gretel? What kind of polis are you? “Why don’t you like me” for Gman whimpers.
Manzanita can’t sleep and sneaks downstairs for a treat. Uh oh, Ilitia has come home crying over her failed marriage. Manzanita starts to run back upstairs and offers a little advice, “you know why Emanuel doesn’t like you? Because you’re bad, nyaaaaa” she says as she sticks out her tongue.
Muneca tells her nobody said marriage was easy and the crisis will pass. Ilitia sobs no it won’t because a horrible thing happened.
Brandon is taking Delicia’s statement and she cries that nobody ever believes her. MariVicky tells her that she will move earth and sea to get her out of there. She won’t leave her alone and Delicia wonders why she cares.
Eman torments himself with thoughts of Marianela. He stares at her picture and says he almost made the mistake of his life, he almost slept with a woman in Marianela’s bed, gasp! (Really? You almost boinked Vicky while everyone else including your mother and your wife were in the house preparing for dinner? Eman, you little hamster you!) He begs Mari to forgive him for having feeling for another what he felt for her. He torments himself some more for our benefit and wonders what is going on with that woman (Vicky).
Delicia doesn’t buy MariVicky’s bull and says no thank you but she doesn’t like to accept help from people she doesn’t know.
More Te amos from a bawling Gman who keeps trying to make out with Oliver. Come on Gman, isn’t it about time your wig falls off? They play ring around the bed until Gman finally passes out. Then Oli has a brilliant idea, all he has to do is find a boyfriend for Manolo.
Ilitia tells her mother that what happened was the worst thing in her life, a nightmare and since then she hasn’t been able to let her husband touch her. An idiot, she will never forget his face, raped her on her wedding day. Muneca says Ilitia should get professional help right away. Ilitia cries it won’t matter because she will never, never forget what happened that day! “What are you talking about Princess?” asks Lowman who has just entered the room.
Axel admits to Emanuel that he blabbed to Bernardo about what they found in the cellar. Eman’s not mad, in fact he’s proud of Axel for defending Delicia in this house where all the help are treated badly. They both agree that they have to find Gretel.
MariVicky tells Delicia to take a good look and imagine her without the wig, with glasses, and about 50 kilos heavier. “Marianela??” gasps Delicia. And the evening ends on a big hug between these lovelies.
I hope everyone is stays safe in spite of all the rotten weather we are having. Be careful out there folks!!

Thanks for the recap Sylvia. ITA w/Anon in that you didn't seem to miss anything.
I'm glad Dee now knows who Mari is. Since this is a TN, somewhat this won't complicate Mari's life but it is odd Dee can know but not Netty.
If Ilitia and Eman actually get a divorce, I will be surprised. I just wish she would listen to her Mom and go to counseling.
Thanks Maggie for yesterday's recap.

Karen, I was very glad that Ilitia finally got her violation off her chest! And of all people to tell she told the best possible person, her mother. Frankly I was amazed. If Lowrenzo finds out who did it he will surely kill Fonskanka. Oh. That could be good. Two birds with one stone and all.
Are Eman and Ilitia really married? I thought the ceremony was not completed.

Thanks Sylvia. Great recap! You're right everyone was all a titter last night, but some light bulbs were working.
Axel went up a couple notches again after that strategic kick to the lower regions on Bernardo. People definitely are adverse to hospitals in TN unless they are on death's door (Max excluded). I figured Fedra would be all over Bernardo and spitting venom even worse then she was doing.
I did like that Emi seemed to support Delicia, Axel made a lame attempt in front of her, and Eman seemed genuinely concerned as well. But of course, our heroine is the one who goes with her (a stranger really - weird). But having Delicia now know it is Mari could be cool - inside man on the job so to speak.
Still can't figure out why Ilitia won't spill on SuperMau - heck she heard he was in jail-this would have been the perfect time. There has to be a plot line connected to someone discovering the truth...and I agree, if it's Low - ouch.

Oh my. Here you are doing a good deed and there are no captions! However, I agree with Anonymous and Karen that you certainly didn't need them.
Like you, I got a kick out of the two guys sighing "Mujeres". And I loved your notaton of Lorenzo's "short attention span". Indeed. Another favorite was Mauricio "not liking air he can't see". I've never been to Mexico City but they do say the air is brownish with pollution. Ugh. And what's up with the sex overdrive? Good thing you questioned Emanuel's plan to shag Vicky with all the folks, including wife, in the house. HAMSTER INDEED!
Although clearly the cast and director are flummoxed with the ornery little Christian, his reaction to just go on playing with his cars and not jump for joy over staying at Muñeca's house was spot on normal. That's the way any little 2-year-old guy would react. The girls, especially older ones, are very tuned in to social cues and pleasing parents. The guys...very tuned in to their toys. Just the natural difference in the way Mother Nature has programmed the sexes.
Great recap Sylvia. And thanks to Anonymous for suggesting some vocab items.

On vocab and closed captions there were some real puzzlers last night.
I think Ilitia called Manzanita "una pilluelita con patas" (a little two-footed rascal?) and Oliver, trying to deal with a super-soused Gretel said "tú fumaste una silla de mimbre" (which literally means "you smoked a wicker basket chair") Does that mean he thought Gretel smoked a bunch of "weed"? No idea. But interesting and puzzling phrases. If anybody has an idea, let me know.

Judy, I added your contributions, you have a great ear. I have no idea what Oiver means when he asked Gman if s/he had smoked a wicker chair. That guy is always mixing metaphors and sayings so who knows?
We think Eman and Ilitia completed the civil ceremony but never completed the church ceremony because Victoria showed up and Ilitia fainted. It was never clarified very well but that's what we surmised.

great recap!
yes julie, that is what the phrase meant, Oli thought Gman (love that nick!) smoked tons of pot along with the inhaling the alcohol.
btw, Axel told E-man that when he told Bernardo he saw that they had hidden Gretel in the wine cellar he made Bernardo believe he was alone (never mentioned Eman) so Eman is safe in his setup trying to make Bernardo and Fedra think he is on their side against Vicky. Axel asked Eman if that was ok and Eman said that was more than OK, that he was proud of Axel for standing out for Delicia like that.

Sylvia- You had me lol at your title. That was a great scene when Delecious (as Fedra calls her) dragged Brandon to the police car. I also love that she's the only one to really question VicMar about why she's all in their business, despite supposedly being Mari best bud in Spain.
I think the reason Ilitia won't accuse Mauricio is because she knows he has enough connections that he would be set free as soon as he landed in jail, and then come back and do worse. He was let free before, and soon she will have proof that she was right when he is set free again. Having friends with powerful judges in their pockets seems to trump any and all evidence the cops have, so Iliti is right in a way. But Low should know. He's the only once capable of bringing Low down- with his own hands or through their underworld friends.

Great recap Sylvia. Bless your heart for filling in for Julia. Clearly, you manage just fine without the captions. Strangely, my CCs were actually better than usual for most of the show last night. My favorite line:
"(Really? You almost boinked Vicky while everyone else including your mother and your wife were in the house preparing for dinner? Eman, you little hamster you!)"
Judy may recall that quite some time ago I mentioned my days as a hamster rancher during my teen years. Your metaphor is perfect. My bull hamster was ready and willing anytime, anyplace.
It's so good to see Dee becoming more and more central to the storyline. I wonder if that was originally planned or if as we have, the folks in Mexico fell in love with this talented cutie and her prominence represents a reaction to her popularity. I'm really enjoying her independent assertiveness. Her suspicion of Vicky's interest and motive was refreshing.
Hard to work up much sympathy for Bernie, but I wonder if Axel would have been as bold had Delicia not already tenderized Smiley.
Manolo and Oliver are stealing the show. More and more of them, please.
Carlos

It's so good to see Dee becoming more and more central to the storyline. I wonder if that was originally planned or if as we have, the folks in Mexico fell in love with this talented cutie and her prominence represents a reaction to her popularity. I'm really enjoying her independent assertiveness. Her suspicion of Vicky's interest and motive was refreshing.
Hard to work up much sympathy for Bernie, but I wonder if Axel would have been as bold had Delicia not already tenderized Smiley.
Manolo and Oliver are stealing the show. More and more of them, please.
Carlos
I must have smoked some wicker baskets because I obviously can't type today. :)
I am also loving the Adventures of Oliver and GretelMan. I wonder who Oliver will try to set him/her up with?

Hey thanks for the great vocabulary, Anon! I especially appreciate escuincle because I haven't been able to look it up because I couldn't figure out how to spell it. Wow - Aztec origin. Probably only heard in Mexico then. I have been to Colima, but never noticed the Colima Dog - I do appreciate the reference.

Well, thanks for clarifying Martaivitt. "Smoking wicker baskets" may join "bumping little carritos" as one of our favorite obscure-but-fun phrases.
Carlos... the phrase "bull hamster" recalls a painful babysitting story. Two of the kids my daughter babysat had a small cage with three hamsters they thought were female. And they were concerned because two of the hamsters kept "beating up" on the third one. Only when the poor abused female gave birth did they realize the other two were rapey snakes. A small cage. Nowhere to hide or take shelter. Ah, the things we do to our pets.

Sylvia, a pivotal episode which your insight captured perfectly: "Axel makes an anemic attempt to protect Delicia" and my favorite, “Marianela??” gasps Delicia. And the evening ends on a big hug between these lovelies". Another wonderful, witty recap.
I was also shocked that Ilitia admitted her violation, but relieved that she finally did so and told the right person.
I am relishing every second of the Oli/Gretel scenes. Of course I want them to reconcile but these are just so much fun to watch, I don't want them to end.
Thank you to all of the marvelous recappers - Maggie, Julia, Judy, Sylvia, Carlos and Kris for your hard work and efforts this year. Also, the comments here are consistently great.
I wish all of you a wonderful New Year.

Wonderful recap Sylvia. I too loved that Delicia questioned why Vicky was all in her business prompting Vicky to tell her that she's really Mari.
Glad Ilitia told Muneca about the rape. I suppose her fears that Mau can do worse to her is why she won't say who the perpetrator was.
I agree that Oliver and Gretelmanolo are stealing the show. They were absolutely hysterical last night.

anyone thinking that Gman must have the wig sewn to his/her scalp? how come with all the waltzing those two did between the bar and the bedroom, that wig would have fallen/slipped off for sure!
'Doris trying to keep a straight face' LOL priceless!
from previews it seems that Nela is ready to have the big reveal...

My son's analytical friend responded when I was laughing just now over the discussion of "smoking a wicker basket".
He's such a sweetheart, but so very serious and tries to explain EVERYTHING - sort of low sense of humor ( takes a bit to "get it").
anyway, his explanation is that it's probably local slang based on the fact that in most tropical areas, wicker is made from bamboo or reeds of some nature. Reed canary grass or hemp, used in the making of baskets, are popular forms of smoking "grass" or a marijuana-like substance. Thus Oliver was implying that Gretel/Manolo was so out of it, he must have smoked a whole basket, or that many reeds that would make up a basket.
Nice to know our hard-earned money to pay for college goes for such enlightening things.

Well, wish us luck. We are off to the Texas Bowl where Baylor will be playing Illinois. It's out first bowl appearance in many years so we are excited. Lots of rain today so the stadium roof will be closed. At least we're not contending with bitter cold and snow like many of you are. Adriana, my beloved profa is going with us... it is her first football game... should be lots of fun.

Oh dear Carlos. I'm conflicted. Part of me wants the Big 10 team to win. Particularly since Ron Zook has suffered some big setbacks in spite of hot and heavy recruiting and coaching.
On the other hand...Baylor is YOUR team.
Okay. Decision made. Rootin' for Baylor.

DaisynJay...have to admit I went through the same thought process so I would have been impatient with a young man laboriously explaining it to me. Still, it was sweet of him to try and enlighten somebody's mama (you know they think we're all just one step short of senility).
Slyvia – I’m on the fly (family in town) but I just wanted to say your recap was terrific, and you did it without captions! Awesome! My captions were fine, so it’s odd you didn’t get any.
Maybe somebody commented already and I’m reading too fast, but what Axel told Bernardo is that if he presses charges against Delicia, Axel will blab about Gretel and the basement. Sorry if that’s a repeat from another comment…

LOL Judy. there's usually a collective grown or smiles when he starts in on his explanations...but you're right he means well.
And Carlos, though I am a diehard Big Ten fan (went to Purdue), I'll try to stay impartial on this one just for you! Enjoy the game.

Thank you for the update. I'm so excited for Felicia y Mari! I do hope Axel realizes what a scumbag he's been and saves Delicia from jail :D ! once gin, much thanks for all the updates! sometimes I go two weeks without seeing the show!
