Llena de Amor #149 (Mex. 160-161) Tue 3/15/11 Emanuel has a crush on Vicky, Kristel takes Mau’s breath away, and the old Lirio crew mutinies.
Full meal deal here, episodes 160 and 161. Looneyvision cut out most of Kristel’s scenes, which is tragic.
At the pensión, MariVicky tells Chema that Fedra swindled Luis Felipe’s money out of Carlota and then offed the old biddy.
Emanuel and Fidel hang at their now-open bar, La Buena Vida, where la vida doesn’t look all that buena, especially for Eman. He slugs back tequila and tells Fidel that Ilitia’s pregnant and he’s mad at himself for betraying his twoo wuv. Angela walks in…turns out she’s Fidel’s favorite guru and vidente. She tells Emanuel not to give up his real love; their destiny is still together. Fidel says she’s never wrong. Eman doesn’t believe in that stuff. Angela responds that his love for one is love for the other and all will be clear.
Bernardo follows Fedra to Lowrenzo’s apartment. He’s mad that she lied and is going back to that slimeball.
Kristel visits Mauricio in the hospital and insults him at great length. He says when he gets out, he will make her pay. Kristel suggests that he not insult the pretty angel of death who is holding his life in her hands and she crimps his oxygen tube.
Fedra and Low toast to being abuelos and to making up. Low appreciates that she’s gotten over his little dalliance with her daughter. Fedra says at least Kristel is away from that cockroach Mau. She admits that she did send Mau to kill Low and get him away from Kristel, too, but fortunately Kristel came to her senses so his death wasn’t necessary after all. ¡Salud! But speaking of attempted murder, she wants all the gory details of how Low poisoned Mau. She relishes the thoughts of his pains and suffering. Low says she doesn’t have to imagine, she should start experiencing it herself any minute now! Yep, he spiked her drink. ¡Salud! Fedra doesn’t believe him at first, but then feels the stabbing in her belly and the suffocation. She staggers toward the door. Low advises her to take a sitio taxi to the hospital, for safety.
Over at the hospital, Malicio gasps and flails while Kristel pinches his air supply and taunts and insults him and demands that he beg her to spare his life. Enter Brandon. Kristel pretends she’s super concerned for poor Mau; look how awful he looks! Brandon sends her to fetch a doctor and tells Mau he’s not dying until he’s paid for his crimes.
Fedra lurches out onto the sidewalk where Bernie’s busy muttering and demands that he take her to the hospital.
Chema asks why they all don’t make a legal accusation against Fedra. Netty tells him they have, but Fedra always buys off judges and gets out. She also mentions that Victoria is in love with Fedra’s son.
Back at La Buena Vida, Eman can’t believe that things will make sense when he sees Marianela again. Fidel recommends he get a card reading, because Angela’s cards never lie. Emanuel mocks. Fidel reminds him that it was because of Angela’s sixth sense that she and Netty showed up and saved them from the little pearl situation with the police.
In the hospital corridor, Brandon asks Kristel how she got to Mauricio past the police guards. She gives him a little demonstration of her method. He tells her the doctor said Mau’s oxygen was cut off—what does she know about that? Kristel plays innocent, and at the same time not-so-innocent, constantly touching him and letting her straps slide down her shoulders. Brandon says she’ll have to come down to the station to answer his questions. Kris readily agrees, but mentions that she’ll charge him with abuse of authority. Brandon tells her she’s just like her mother. She finds his genetics lecture SO BORING. But toodles; she has tons to do and so does he; it will take centuries to investigate Mau’s long list of enemies and find the guilty party.
Emanuel is very drunk, and still drinking. The cards send their message: He needs to prepare. There is a child on the way. The thick woman he loves is closer than he thinks, but there are lots of obstacles between them. The abyss between them is death. Eman scoffs.
Nereida sees Delicia and Axel lounging on a blanket on the dark lawn, smog-gazing and snogging. Delicia’s upset about Ilitia’s pregnancy. Yeah, poor Emanuel, says Axel. Now he’ll never be rid of her. And poor Vicky, says Delicia. Axel comments that Delicia and Vicky seem to be really good friends…as close as Delicia and Marianela were. Also, Gretel mentioned Vicky’d been in love with Eman since she was a child, but that’s impossible since they just met, right? Delicia suggests maybe Gretel is confused, “se le va el patin bien gacho.” Axel says Gretel is perfectly sane, and he is no fool. He knows they’re hiding something from him. What’s Victoria’s secret?
Nereida sneaks into Delicia’s room and takes out the wedding dress and some scissors.
Super-drunk Eman says the death card means Marianela is dead to him. See, he’s a vidente, too! He insists he loves his flaquita and wouldn’t care if Mari returned, because she abandoned him and broke his heart and married Jorrible. No one can imagine his pain! Benigno decides Eman’s had more than enough devil swill and he and Fidel haul him away. Eman calls Fidel his sucio rather than his socio and finds that HILARIOUS. He babbles away. Careful, Eman, with the drinking. Loose lips sink ships…ships like El Lirio de Plata.
Bernardo and Fedra are at the hospital. Fedra’s behavior is giving me post-traumatic stress flashbacks of the time my recovering-heroin-addict neighbor broke her ankle and I drove her to the hospital and she gave everyone a migraine screaming for painkillers and shrieking abuse. I think if she hadn’t been pregnant, someone would have knocked her out just to shut her up. Fedra’s being a pain, in other words. She thinks this is karmic payback for poisoning Marianela’s chocolates. Fedra instructs Bernie that she wants her funeral to be the party of the century. The end is nearing…she’s seeing the white light (she reaches toward the ceiling fixture). With her last breath, she curses Vicky and laments that she will never see her seven star hotel. Adios, Bernardo. She’s out. Bernie wails and begs her not to leave. Suddenly she feels better and sits up. The doctor comes in and tells them it was just saxitoxina, a little temporary muscle paralyzer. Fedra’s phone rings and she sends Bernie to learn the info from the doctor so he can explain it to her in little words. On the phone, Low says Gotcha! Fedra says she hates him and wants him more and more. They flirt.
Ilitia tells Jorge she’s not pregnant and she needs to get so ASAP. He offers to help. She takes him up on that…ordering him to move to a hotel so Eman will be alone in the bedroom and she can make a move. She thinks Eman will surely be trying hard to drink away the troublesome news, so easy target, advantage Ilitia.
Nereida chops up Delicia’s wedding dress. Delicia walks in and is sad and furious.
Oliver and Gretel say goodbye to Paula and leave with Gretel’s suitcase. They just miss Benigno and Emanuel. Eman’s verticality-challenged and slurrily singing at top volume. Benigno tries to shut him up. Ilitia gloats on the balcony.
Fedra and Bernardo arrive at the driveway just in time to see Gretel and Oliver leave. They turn off the headlights and follow.
In the house, Emanuel keeps singing, using a tall vase as a guitar. Benigno takes it away and drags Eman toward the stairs. Eman sweet-talks and makes eyes at the vase. MV comes down and asks what’s going on. Not that any explanation is needed, but Beni says Eman is an araña fumigada. Emanuel slurs that he looooooves Vicky. Axel comes along and helps push Eman up the stairs. E wants to sleep in Vicky’s room. She says no.
Catfight in Delicia’s room. Paula stops them and yells at Nereida.
MV tries to get Emanuel out of her room. He wants to kiss her first. She says no. She’s disgusted (but also seems to be amused) that he’s so drunk he can’t even walk. He says he doesn’t need to walk; with her love he’ll just fly!
Ilitia gets some wine ready down in the kitchen.
MV drags Emanuel to his room and wonders where Jorge is. Emanuel closes and locks the door (even plastered, he’s smarter than the pensión residents), staggers, and falls on the bed on top of MV. Her two years of intense workouts have not given her sufficient strength to push off a trim guy who’s not much bigger than she is. Eman passes out.
Ilitia pounds on the door and threatens to go to Nereida for the keys. Inside the bedroom, Emanuel snuggles up tighter around MV.
Oliver and Gretel arrive back at the pensión all in the mood. Oliver starts undressing Gretel right there in the courtyard, and Gretel’s all, Take me away! Fedra and Bernardo burst in. Bernie holds a gun on Oliver and Fedra grabs Gretel. She will not let her go off with this poor dude. Chema walks in and orders Fedra to let go. “What are you doing in this dive?” Fedra asks.
Ilitia orders Benigno to open the bedroom door or else “me ponga muy crazy.” Open it by any means necessary…blow it up, burn it down, whatever. Benigno refuses and tells her to leave Emanuel alone.
Netty yells at Fedra to get out, and your little dog, too! Chema orders Bernie to put down the gun and Fedra to leave Oliver and Gretel in peace. Bernardo can’t defy his capitán’s orders. Chema and Fedra fight for Bernardo’s loyalty until Chema orders him to take Fedra away, which fortunately suits Fedra. They leave. Netty is super impressed with Chema’s snake-charming skills.
The next day:
Fedra’s mad at Bernardo for dissing her in front of the capitán. How will she get any respect now? She will never ever forgive him. Bernardo wants to off Low. Fedra forbids it. Bernie mocks her for continuing to canoodle with that worm. He warns that Low will destroy her. Fedra’s not worried about that; she’s more concerned that Gretel will figure out who Chema is. They have to eliminate him. She tells Bernardo to arrange a private meeting with Chema. Low and Fedra argue about who to kill, Low or Chema. Hmmm, why don’t you rock, paper, scissors for it?
Ilitia has recruited Nereida to open the door. Nereida tries lots and lots of keys. Ilitia takes the ring in frustration and gets it right on the first try and opens the door. Inside, Emanuel is draped all over MV.
Bernardo wonders how Fedra can so coldly want to kill the love of her life, the father of her son, her long-ago rescuer. She thinks Low’s charms will help her get over it. Chema’s in the way now; the past has to die. Bernardo refuses to help her.
Ilitia wonders how Emanuel can treat his house like a cheap motel. Eman doesn’t remember how he got there. He throws Ilitia out so he can speak privately with Vicky. Ilitia takes that with the expected good grace.
Kristel’s at the modeling agency, all ready to leave for her big top model trip to New York and fame. Mayela says she’s not going. None of the agents thought she was anything special.
Oliver and Gretel wake up all snuggly and nekkid. Oliver says Netty asked him to investigate Chema, and there’s no record of his existence. He noticed how Gretel reacted to the guy…does he have some connection to Fedra’s past? Gretel says she doesn’t know, but they’re going to find out.
Emanuel accuses MV of taking advantage of him. She’s indignant. He amends that to just wishing she had taken advantage of him. She yells at him but he blithely says he enjoyed being stuck together like sanguijuelas (leeches), and he’d like to do some more of that. MV says no monkey business; Ilitia’s pregnant. Emanuel says of course he’ll take responsibility for the baby, but he and Ilitia are through. He only loves Vicky. Besides, he isn’t at all convinced she’s really knocked up (go, little hamster, go!). MV says to find out.
Kristel begs and whines and tries to convince Mayela to take her on the trip. Mayela says she just doesn’t have what it takes. Her type of beauty is very common and vulgar. They need class. Kristel shrieks that she is super top class; she was born in silk sheets! Unlike Ilitia, who comes from some trashy low-class streetwalker! Mayela looks stricken.
Jorge returns to the house and asks Ilitia if she got what she wanted. No, she did not, she says. That pushy Victoria cut in line.
Mayela tells Kristel to stop badmouthing people. Kristel does not stop. She says Ilitia is a terrible model. All she wants is to be married and have mil ocho mil babies! In fact, she’s already knocked up! Mayela is surprised by that news. Kristel makes fun of how huge and gross Ilitia is going to be. But Kristel can’t have kids, so she’s a perfect model! Mayela calls security. Kristel keeps arguing that she’s just like Mayela: no kids, just modeling! The guards haul her out, kicking and screaming. Mayela rolls her eyes.
Jorge is calmly irate at Ilitia’s incompetence. MV wanders along and she and Ilitia bicker as usual, FF. MariVicky slips up at one point and calls the place HER house. Once little raincloud MV has moved on, Jorge tells Ilitia to get with the baby making, NOW.
Fedra ruins Emiliano’s breakfast on the lawn. Rant rant rant. Emiliano refuses to interfere in Emanuel’s life. Fedra tells him Gretel left with the poli. Emil’s glad to hear that, and no, he will not interfere in her life either. She’s happy. Ditto Axel. The only one he’s worried about is Kristel. They’ve got to keep her away from Lowrenzo. Fedra assures him that Kristel’s gone to New York, and Low has moved on. Emil glares at her suspiciously.
Kristel swoops into the ad agency, screeching for Eman. The secretaries tell her he isn’t in yet. Low comes in and tries to settle her down. {How does he still work there after he embezzled all that money and sold shares to Mau?} Kristel cries that her life is OVER. Mayela threw all her dreams in the trash, and it must be Ilitia’s fault. She’s going to fight back and give Emanuel the ammunition he needs to get Ilitia out of his life.
Over to the dollhouse. Muñeca sighs to Flora that in this case, she doesn’t think a baby is a blessing. Flora says no, especially since they aren’t sure who the father is. Muñeca doesn’t even want to think about that factor. Surely Ilitia wouldn’t be that crazy…would she? Muñeca confesses that she’s not convinced Ilitia is really pregnant; she thinks it’s just a trap. Brandon walks in and wants to talk to Muñeca.
On the sidewalk outside the pensión, Bernardo tells Chema that Fedra wants to see him and gives him a time and address. Chema asks why he seems so nervous.
Emanuel bounces into the house after his workout. Ilitia wants to have a serious talk. The only serious thing Emanuel wants to say or hear is that they’re getting a divorce. She pleads the baby case. Eman says they’re going to the doctor right now to find out whether she’s really pregnant.
Brandon tells Muñeca he doesn’t believe Ilitia is really expecting Emanuel’s child. Muñeca wonders why he’s so interested. He says he just doesn’t want Ilitia to get hurt. “Is it at all possible that you, er, um, you and Ilitia, ummm, you know what I’m getting at,” Muñeca prods. “Did you ask Ilitia that?” “She swore that nothing happened between you in Acapulco.” “Oh, well, then, that must be true. Strictly business.” Muñeca doesn’t believe him but says nothing. Brandon thought-bubbles that he used protection, so if Ilitia’s pregnant, it’s surely not his child.
Ilitia bites her nails and whines that Emanuel doesn’t trust her. She brings up her rape again, as emotional blackmail and distraction. It doesn’t work; Emanuel is glad she’s finally able to be intimate again and all, but he doesn’t want it to be with him. Pregnancy test. Ilitia insists she knows her biological clock. Eman says they’d better check, in case her clock is as cuckoo as she is. As soon as he’s showered and dressed, they’re going to the clinic. Ilitia frets.
Chema knows Bernardo’s up to something fishy. He asks if Fedra is still part of his destiny. Bernie says she sure is.
Fedra drinks and worries that Bernardo will chicken out. Gretel walks in and asks about the guy from Veracruz. She wonders if he is perhaps the infamous Capitán Sevilla, star of Fedra’s fire nightmares. Fedra tells her to shut up.
In Low’s office at the agency, he tells Kristel to let him handle Mayela. He’ll make her let Kris model, and in Paris, not New York. Meanwhile, he’ll fire the model they’ve already got and let Kristel do the makeup campaign they’re working on.
Fedra insists that Capitán Sevilla is dead. Gretel says that is false. She plans to get proof that it is the same man, and Emanuel is his son. “Fine, go ahead and hurt Emiliano!” Fedra says. Gretel says she won’t tell him, but she will tell Emanuel. However, she’s willing to negotiate—the secret is safe as long as Fedra leaves Oliver and Gretel alone. After Gretel leaves, Fedra smashes glassware and mutters that she’s going to get rid of that brat.
Avances: From web…Mau escapes the hospital, Fedra meets Lowrenzo in the woods and aims a rifle at him. From Looneyvision…Ilitia’s pregnancy test is positive.
Sanguijuela – leech.
Me sacó bastante de onda – it seemed strange to me

Love your title Julia, especially referring to Kristel and Mau. Dang,that guy is like the Energizer Bunny. At some point, his battery better run out and he get his.
Interesting interaction between Kristel and Mayela. I think our blog members got it right the other day that maybe they are setting up May to be Ilitia's mom. Still boggles the mind that Muneca would have been okay with her so close to Ilitia all those years - unless she didn't know who the woman was.Interesting, interesting.
So will we see the other TN staple - a doctor gets bought off so the medical info someone wants gets reported? Or, will Ilitia actually be pregnant, but with Brandon's baby? For a minute there, thought she was so desparate she was going to ask Jorge to "help" her out in the baby-making department.
I still get a kick out of Fedra and Low. Those two actors make two slimy despicable characters so fun to watch. I have more fun watching them than listeniong to MV's whining. So sad that most of Eman's better moments always have to be tied up with her.

Yes indeed. Great title.
Wish I were working in the same office as you are. Bet you are a hoot all day, judging from your recap quips....
"and then offed the old biddy"
"twoo wuv"
"smog-gazing and snogging"
"What's Victoria's secret?" and my favorite....
"(go little hamster go!)"
My goodness, your neighbor story was hair-raising. Is she still your neighbor? And still off drugs, I hope?
Normally, I loathe drunk scenes played for humor but VL was doing such a great job on it, he was cracking the Vicky actress up. That's how I interpreted the little smile playing around her lips. But who knows? He is a charmer in this one.
And like Daisynjay, for an awful moment, when I saw Ilitia's foxy grin, I thought she was going to bed Jorrible right then and there. Oh yessss, get pregnant as soon as possible.
Thanks for fielding that "patin" slang. That's a good one. And thanks for much for the complete story. Kristel's scene in Mayela's office was wonderful and it was truly a shame that it was cut.
As always, muchas gracias, amiga, for such a fine recap and vocabulary.

Simply great, Julia. Thanks, of course for the extra. As I watched last night I was confused when Kristel showed up at the ad agency in such a tizzy and your supplement made everything clear. It looks like the compressed episodes are here to stay. I too love your title.
Though in reality, Kristel's kinking of the oxygen hose would have had little effect, that scene was so darned funny. I savor every scene she is in.
Fedra and Lorenzo were great together as well. They are perfectly matched.
I complained to the lady at the local station about the tampering done with our show. I haven't heard back from her, however. Surely we're not the only viewers disturbed by the change and the producer of the show can't be pleased.

Thanks for complaining Carlos. I bitch and moan to myself but never take action. You are our Go To Guy! Muchas gracias.
Julia, loved the title! You're a doll for recapping two episodes in one. I agree it's a tragedy that they cut Kristel's scenes, she was a real hoot. I also had an "aha!" moment when Mayela looked stricken at Kristel's comment. I think the commenters are correct who surmised she might be Ilitia's mom. She has that slutty look that Lowrenzy pretty consistently goes for. Hard to believe that Muneca knows though.
My favorite Julia-isms: "Victoria's secret" and "and your little dog too", brilliant!
Funny how Vicky couldn't push off Eman's dead drunk weight but they were somehow able to reposition themselves on the bed while both asleep, eh?
Judy, I'm with you in that I usually hate drunk scenes, but Eman was absolutely hilarious and managed to pull it off. Valentino Lanus has turned into a first rate actor. I'm a little concerned that Eman owns a tequila bar. Fidel had better keep his eye on both the profits and El Lirio de Plata.
Carlos, I also complained to Uni about their hack job on this show. I doubt anything will change at this late date but at least they know the fans are not happy.
Julia, thanks again for your superb recap. What a great way to start the day.

Yeah, Sleeping Beauty didn't put up too big a fight against Boozy Snoozy. "Oh, woe is me, this hunk of hotness I'm in love with is just tooooo big for lil ol' me to move. Guess I'm stuck here snuggling all night! Sigh..."
Judy, the neighbor is no longer my neighbor, thank goodness. I know she went back to drugs after the ankle injury but then she went to rehab again. Last I heard she was doing okay, but no idea now. I feel sorry for her kids. I really felt the emergency room staff deserved combat pay for dealing with her.

Julia- I really want to give major props to you and the other recappers who have gone above and beyond to give us the full story on the two episodes. Thank you for the wonderful, complete, funny recap.
Like Carlos, I had a WTF moment when all of a sudden Kristel came crying that she wasn't going to NY. Glad to see my theory about Mayela being Ilitia's mom is looking likely. I'll have to go find that scene online to take a look.
Axel and Dee were so cute on the lawn. I love their pure, innocent courtship. I also love Oliver and Gretel's hot, hot, hot courtship too. It's nice to have both.
I don't think MV really wanted to escape Eman's drunken embrace. I am sure sometime during the night, when they shifted into spooning position, she could have untangled herself. :)
The preview about Ilitia's condition is intruiging. She seemed pretty surprised by the result. But Brandon is sure his party hat was firmly on...

Thanks for the recap Julia. Also thanks for watching the "full" version so we know what we missed. The scenes with Kristel must have been a riot.
I'm tried of Nereida's wickedness. She's awful to both Dee and Paula and needs to be fired.
Did Uni start this compression when the Ultimas Semanas began? I still don't understand this choice especially with a show that has good ratings but most of us lived through Gancho and the time switch so we know Uni doesn't really regard the feelings of its viewers (boo!).

Vivi, I forgot it was you who offered the Mayela theory. Good prognosticating on your part. The identification of Ilitia's mommy is one of those niggling, dangling plot threads. With all the editing they are doing I wonder, if Mayela really is Ilitia's birth mom, if we will even get to see it?
Excellent recap Julia. I especially loved this line, "Her two years of intense workouts have not given her sufficient strength to push off a trim guy who’s not much bigger than she is." This is the same girl who can't even reach inside her purse for her inhaler without Eman's help.
So Uni cut most of Kristel's scenes. I was scratching my head when Kristel came over to Lo crying. Now I know why.
Another head scratcher moment is how quickly Eman got over his hangover when earlier he kept motioning for Ilitia to lower her volume when she yelled at him for spending the night with Ms. Wet Blanket (thanks Sylvia).
So per the previews, Ilitia is really pregnant. I don't feel sorry at at for MV over this little detail.
What else did Angela say after Eman and crew left the table. She pointed at a couple of the tarot cards and said something I didn't catch.

I was wondering that myself Carlos. Does Televisa know that Uni is butchering this show. If they are they can't be pleased about it.

Julia, I thought your title was fantastic, especially "Kristel takes Mau's breath away". You literally had me laughing out loud here at work (and I thank you for that!).
So many of your wonderful lines have been quoted so I'll just say this was amazing. I am in admiration of you and all the recappers who are filling in all the noticable (and extremely irritating) gaps. Your vocabulaty was informative and very much in keeping with last night's theme. Gracias.
Love Dee and Axel and Gretel and Oliver. As pointed out, different relationship levels, virtuous vs. sizzling but both completely delightful.
I notice many of the cast struggling to hide smiles (some better than others) when Kristel is onscreen. She is a force to be reconded with.
Loved the comments today as well.
Diana

If Brandon thought bubbled that he used protection, then that leaves Mauricio as Ilitia's baby daddy. Ugh!

I think Mauricio was way too long ago. Ilitia has made references several times to being in tune with what's going on with her body (she was horrified when Kristel had no idea how late she was and turned out to be pregnant), so I think if she'd gotten pregnant from the rape she'd definitely know already. So, either Eman or Brandon. Condoms don't work 100% of the time. Could be Emanuel's. Could be a false positive or some trickery. Maybe we should watch for a mysterious woman in a scarf and hat appearing at the clinic with an envelope of cash, like Carlota in ENDA.
I just really can't stand the idea of Malicio having offspring.

Emanuel really did make a hilarious drunk. He got that just right...alcohol seems to make people more intensely and openly what they really are, and what he is essentially is a humorous moony charmer. I loved when he was flirting with the vase.
Brandon cracks me up, too. As a naco gentleman, he will never confirm his intimacies, yet he leaves Muñeca little doubt as to what's happening.

Julia, you are beyond awesome. You did an incredible job mooshing the two episodes into your recap - with humor even! – and you gave us vocab too. My hat’s off to you.
I saw only what Univision showed, so like others I was completely lost about why Kristel had been fired. And like others, I’m a big fan of the Kristel actressess’s performances. I’m thinking she’s giving Altair (Ilitia), who had cornered the fresa market, real competition.
