Llena de Amor #154 (Mex. 170-171) Tue 3/22/11 The drama’s so moving, Judge Pantoja gets all choked up.
Episodes 170 & 171.
We rejoin the family in the foyer at the big house. Emanuel, in good spirits and handcuffs, denies he’s El Lirio de Plata. His family backs him up. MariVicky assures Brandon that if El Lirio were Eman, she would have known. The others take turns defending Emanuel. Jorge bucks the trend and urges the police to aim for the maximum punishment. Emiliano tells him to stay out of it. Oliver tells everyone that the call to the police station from El Lirio came from Emanuel’s cantina. Now the family is surprised to hear that he owns a cantina. Ilitia shakes things up by claiming that Brandon only wants to pin the crimes on Emanuel because he’s jealous that Ilitia loves Eman and not his naco poli self. Eman is startled and highly amused to hear that Brandon has the hots for Ilitia.
At the rapey snakepit, Mauricio throws Kristel onto his bed. He’s ready to rekindle their passion. Kristel claims she has a headache. Mau cares not a whit. Kristel changes tactics and says she wants to make it extra fun and special. She sends Mauron to fetch drinks while she gets ready to provide sexy entertainment. The idiot falls for this and leaves the room. Kristel frets and pulls out her phone.
Brandon protests that Ilitia is just making up this jealous crush bit for drama and to delay Eman’s arrest. Well, it won’t work. Emiliano tells everyone to calm down; he’ll call the lawyers to get Emanuel out of jail. Brandon tells him not to get his hopes up. Eman just laughs as the boys in blue put him in the car and drive away. Bernardo walks up the driveway as they’re leaving and asks Oliver what’s going on. No puede ser, he says when Oliver tells him. Oliver answers a call from Kristel and she begs him to come rescue her.
Fedra and Lowrenzo lounge in bed and she catches him up on her failed attempt to have Capitán Sevilla murdered. Bernie calls and tells her about Emanuel’s arrest.
Malicio returns to the bedroom. Kristel stalls a bit. She has Mau turn on some music and starts dancing. Mau gets into the slow striptease, too numbskulled to notice that Kristel is dragging it out as long as possible. Kristel thought-bubbles that Oliver had better zoom on over right quick.
Delicia is sad that she’s spending her wedding night alone.
At the nightly meeting of the Young Oxygenwasters Club, Alfredo regales the nasty crowd with the tale of his mean prank on Axel. Lorena and the others laugh. Alfredo says he wishes he could have seen Axel’s face when he found out about the little maid’s “betrayal.” “Uh, just turn around,” Lorena says, wide-eyed. Axel has walked in, as furious as Alf could have hoped for. The snotty punks cackle and ask why he didn’t bring his servant with him. Axel grabs Alfredo and POUNDS him.
Let’s rewind and watch that again. BAM! POW!
And again.
Okay, one more time.
All right, moving on. Low assured Fedra that the chango Brandon is just jealous and getting revenge because Ilitia loves Emanuel. He fills Fedra in that Muñeca thinks Ilitia is in love with Brandon, but that’s crazy, because in her right mind (cabales), she’d never have anything to do with a loser like him. Fedra says at least now Ilitia is pregnant, which should keep the chango away, and it’s definitely Emanuel’s baby, RIGHT?
Axel continues to enjoy beating the snot out of Alfredo. Alfredo is to wimpy to get a single hit in, but that doesn’t stop him from insulting Delicia, claiming she was always after him. Axel breaks a bottle and holds the jagged glass to Alfredo’s throat, demanding the whole truth.
MariVicky goes to visit Emanuel in the interrogation room at the station and asks him if he is really El Lirio de Plata. Brandon and Comisario Tejeda watch and listen at the one-way window. MV praises El Lirio up and down, what a man, so noble and selfless, so brave. Eman says she seems to not only think he’s a hero, but to also be attracted to the man behind the mask. MV says it would explain a lot if Eman were El Lirio. “And what if I were?” he asks, wiggling his eyebrows.
Mau is tired of the slow striptease and tries to get down to business. Just in time, Oliver bursts in, firearm first. Kristel clings to him and begs him to throw the creepy pervert back in jail where he belongs. {Side note…Kristel has learned from Victoria’s wardrobe malfunction and is wearing pasties, which are totally visible. Neither here nor there, but kind of funny.} Oliver and Mau yell threats at each other, Mau calls Oliver an allanada morada, and Kristel wraps herself around Oliver and drags him out.
Emanuel is now annoyed and asks MV if she’s just here to help Brandon get a confession. He hollers to Brandon that his stupid trap is not going to work. Mari says she was a fool to believe he might be the noble Lirio. Brandon and MV leave, and Eman mutters, “Nice try; I’m not going to fall into your trap, Moreno,” not realizing that Tejeda is still outside listening.
Fedra tries to tell Lowrenzo that Eman can’t possibly be El Lirio de Plata, but he’s too distracted by the acrobatics she’s performing on the bed to listen. Fedra mentions the “gordiflaca” in her rant and then has to explain to Low that Marianela and Victoria are the same person. No way, says Low. That gross fatty couldn’t possible have turned into that lush, sexy…words fail him as his hormones kick into high gear, and Fedra is annoyed. Low offers to call the mob lawyer for Eman. Judge Pantoja calls Fedra and they agree to meet to discuss the results of his investigation.
Axel accuses Alfredo of setting the whole thing up with Fedra. Alfredo claims that Delicia has always been chasing him, and he took the photos and was delivering them to Axel to save him from marrying that zorra. That’s the Alfredo we know and love, all right, always looking out for Axel’s interests. Unfortunately, he says, he arrived at the house after Axel had already left for the wedding, so he gave the photos to Fedra to rush over.
MV is furious at Brandon for trying to use her to trap Emanuel. Also, she’s mad that he’s hunting El Lirio at all. Brandon says El Lirio de Plata is a delinquent who takes the law into his own hands, and that isn’t right. MV says Brandon knows very well that the legal way to do things doesn’t always work, and Brandon is not even a small bit of the manly man El Lirio de Plata is.
An officer brings Fidel and Chema into Brandon’s office and says they were in the cantina and admit Emanuel was the caller.
Still in the interrogation room, Emanuel thought-bubbles that he isn’t ready to confess. Brandon comes in to hassle him some more and Eman just laughs and says he has no proof. Brandon announces that he does in fact have witnesses, and brings in Chema. Chema verifies that he saw Emanuel using the phone, but he heard nothing suspicious in what Eman was saying. Chema says he used the phone, too, so why doesn’t Brandon arrest him, too?
Oliver escorts Kristel into the house. She’s wearing his uniform shirt. Oliver warns her that she’s putting herself in danger partying and bouncing from guy to guy. She agrees she’s in super danger and wants to hire Oliver as her bodyguard. Her gestures suggest that he should leave no inch of her top model skin uncovered. Oliver tells her to put an ad in the paper. Kristel starts stripping again. Oliver tries to stop her, but she leeches onto him and of course Gretel comes downstairs.
Low and Fedra drop by Pantoja’s office. Pantoja tells them he burned the fingerprints and the investigation results. He wants a bigger piece of the hotel pie to give up what he knows. They fight and Fedra chokes him with his tie and goes into a rage, yelling at him and the absent Bernardo. Low finally stops her but it looks like the judge is dead. Oopsie. Now Low is worried about who will marry them.
Oliver and Gretel have their usual fight. Kristel tries to get Oliver to switch his allegiance, trying again with the stripping to sway him. Gretel storms away. Oliver yells that he hates Kristel, and bats pleading puppy dog eyes at Gretel’s back.
Fedra asks Low to call one of his goons for body disposal, but he doesn’t do it. New plan. They wipe their fingerprints off everything and leave a silver lirio on the judge’s chest. Fedra writes a note and needs help with the spelling. Low rolls his eyes.
Emanuel sympathizes with Brandon’s frustration. Brandon swears he’ll get him.
Bernardo stealthily watches Fedra and Lowrenzo leave Pantoja’s office. He goes inside.
Gretel, Delicia, Marianela, and Doris all commiserate and cry about their man problems.
Bernardo finds the judge’s corpse and the note pinning the blame on El Lirio de Plata (and thus throwing suspicion away from Eman). Clever, Fedra, he thinks. But the note is trillado (hackneyed), so he crumples it up and rewrites it: “I came for vengeance and to do justice.” Then he notices the judge’s cell phone, which was set up to videorecord the proceedings. Aha. He takes the phone.
Jorge visits Eman and says he called Mari and she was glad to hear that he’s in jail where he belongs, but feels bad for his kid. Jorge and Eman needle each other, all fakey smiles. I think Jorge says something about getting a cheap Lirio costume to keep up the fiction, but I can’t tell who he thinks should do this. Anyway, he tells Eman “You are the WORST.”
The ladies slumber party in MV’s room. Delicia is afraid of what Fedra will do to her. Mari says she and Gretel have a plan to get rid of Fedra forever. They think Chema knows about Fedra’s past. Doris asks about the old investigation and Gretel says she had to burn the papers. Doris remembers helping inept Jorge pack (hard to believe prissy Jorge would be so terrible and sloppy at folding clothes, but maybe he’s always had someone do it for him) and finding an envelope containing Luis Felipe’s evidence in his suitcase. Doris describes to the others what she saw. They are impactadas.
Eman tells Jorge that he may be disgusting, but at least he’s honest, not sneaky like Jorge. Ilitia always knew he was in love with another; he didn’t lie. He yells at Jorge for taking advantage of Victoria when she was drunk. But, haha, that’s the only way she’d have anything to do with him; she’d rather have El Lirio or even Brandon as a replacement if she’s giving up Emanuel for the sake of the baby. Never Jorge. Emanuel tells Jorge to go back to Marianela and never return.
Slumber party. Doris thought Mari knew that Jorge had the papers. Delicia thinks Jorrid seems very suspicious…first sleeping with drunk MV, now hiding papers? Mari naively says the getting drunk and nekkid was no one’s fault. Doris says it certainly is a big coincidence, that Eman just happened to see the two of them together, and he went back to Ilitia and now she’s pregnant. Could it all have been a trap? Doris points out that Netty doesn’t trust the guy, either. Dee observes that Jorge and Ilitia would have a mutual interest in keeping Emanuel and MV apart. In fact, why is Jorrible here for so long, doing so much for Marianela, if there’s nothing in it for him? Mari doesn’t want to believe it. Gretel points out that Jorge could be after Luis Felipe’s considerable fortune. Mari confesses that he did get Fedra to make him a partner in her investment. The ladies all urge Mari not to trust Jorge.
The next day, down at the station, Ilitia demands Emanuel’s release. Brandon mocks her for only playing the role of Eman’s wife when she feels like it, and other times… She hisses at him to keep quiet about their cositas. Lowrenzo barges in and says he knows about their relationship and accuses Brandon of raping Ilitia.
Nereida serves breakfast to Mari, Delicia, Gretel, and Doris, and Delicia takes the opportunity to be super fussy about the service. Jorge appears and tries to be chummy but they are cold and ask him to leave. He does. The others think Mari should have asked him about the papers, but she wants time to think about it. Emiliano overhears them and asks MV what she knows about Fedra’s past.
Alone in the office, MV tells Emiliano that Mari asked her not to give him the information until she gets all the proof. Emil vows to help get rid of Fedra. MV mentions that she doesn’t know if they can trust Jorge. Emil comments that it seems like such a strange marriage. So much time apart. MV asks him to make sure that Jorge thinks they trust him. She gives Emil the papers about Luis Felipe’s money and the hotel investment.
Brandon threatens to throw Lowrenzo in jail. Ilitia and Brandon claim there is nothing between them. Low doesn’t believe them and suggests Brandon is just planning to blackmail Ilitia. Muñeca swoops in and drags Low away. Brandon asks Ilitia what’s going on. What was Low saying about a secret that could ruin Ilitia’s marriage? She plays innocent.
Chema talks to Netty about her star appearance at the cantina. She heads off to visit Emanuel. Chema kisses her hands and helps her into a taxi, all flirty-like. Across the street, a thug follows Chema.
Bernardo joins ranty Fedra in his old bedroom. Fedra tries to throw him out. He says he knows all about Pantoja, and he has video of the murder. It will stay a secret if she leaves him and Chema alone.
Delicia brings Mari a letter from Pantoja. It says he has proof Mari and Vicky are the same person. But Jorge destroyed the prints!, says Mari. Delicia says that’s just more evidence that he’s playing dirty. Pantoja says in the letter that he’ll sell to the highest bidder, either Mari or Fedra.
Fidel, Benigno, and Emiliano go to the cantina. Chema shows up while they’re admiring a sign advertising Netty’s performance on the sidewalk outside.
The thug screws a silencer onto his gun. His phone rings.
Emiliano’s mad about seeing Chema everywhere and doesn’t want him associating with his son. “Your son? We need to have a serious talk about Emanuel,” Chema says.
The thug aims the gun, but answers his phone. Fedra calls off the hit. Well, maybe. The thug says he’s about to shoot. The target is with Emiliano. Fedra and Bernardo fuss about what to do.
Emil tells Chema not to mess with Emanuel. Chema tells Emil not to threaten him—he was in prison more than 25 years and found a purpose in living.
Bernardo tells Fedra that if she has Chema shot, the police will find out that she killed Pantoja. Fedra reluctantly cancels the hit.
Emil says Chema must be a murderer to have been in prison so long. Fidel says Chema is a good guy. Emiliano says criminals never change. He grabs Chema and demands to know why he’s hanging around the Ruiz y de Teresa family.
Fedra spits at Bernie. He reminds her that he knows her past, saved her life, and made her what she is today, and she BETRAYED him. He agrees to leave, but creeps that he’ll always be in the shadows watching her. He also warns that Lowrenzo will destroy her.
Lowrenzo wants to hush things up about the little baby. Muñeca thinks one can’t build a happy life on lies. Lowrenzo’s mostly worried about what Fedra will do when she finds out Ilitia’s baby isn’t also Eman’s. Muñeca tells him to control his amante.
Inside the cantina, Emil asks again why Chema is interested in Emanuel. Chema says he was the same once, helping the less fortunate. Emil scoffs that he seems to believe Eman is El Lirio de Plata. Emil KNOWS Emanuel isn’t eLdP. Chema disagrees, and says Emil should be proud. Emil hopes Eman will fire Chema.
Ilitia, Gretel, Netty, Fedra, Muñeca, Jackie, and the secretaries from the agency all harass Brandon, wanting to visit Emanuel. Yes, Univision thought THIS scene was important enough to spare.
MV goes to Pantoja’s office and finds him dead with the lirio and the note. No puede ser.
Brandon threatens to lock up all the shrieking women. Ilitia gets Brandon to let her see Emanuel, because of the baby and all, as if that makes sense. The others throw more of a fit.
Mari wonders if El Lirio killed Pantoja to keep him quiet about Victoria’s identity. Could he have known about that? No, no, El Lirio would never kill. What to do? She calls the police.
In the interrogation room, Eman asks Ilitia how she could think of aborting their baby. She says she was desperate. She just can’t do it alone. Emanuel says he won’t abandon her, but he won’t let her blackmail him, either. She says if he leaves her or cheats on her, bye bye, baby. Brandon watches them through the one-way window. Emanuel forgives Ilitia and they smooch. Brandon gripes that she has a heart of stone and he has a jealous fit.
At the cantina, Chema tells Bernardo to choose—Fedra or him. Bernardo says Fedra threw him out, but he’s made sure she won’t try to kill Chema again. But he won’t let Chema destroy her, either.
Back at home, Lowrenzo yells at Ilitia. How dare she fall in love and get knocked up by that trash? Ilitia says he’s hardly one to talk. Low slaps her and explains how it is: It’s totally okay for him to tomcat around, because he’s a MAN. However, when she does the same thing, she’s a slut. Not okay. She has to stop and save her marriage to el money, er, Emanuel. Ilitia tries to explain to Low what Brandon offers her—attention, affection. Low says she will do things his way. She is NOT having this baby.

On this cold rainy morning, your recap warmed the my little heart, though some of the storyliner lately is frustrating to be sure.
Again, no longer watching the Uni version, so I thought it funny they left in the massive Brandon vs. Eman's Amazon's army. In fact the whole couple episodes were very "Woman power" centric. I found the slumber party scenes rather interesting, and at least the brain cells of some of our smarter women got MV realizing Jorge is up to no good.
But what the purpose of the station scene was, not surem, except it was funny at first. Then the screeching got to be a bit too much, so even I thankfully online could fast forward. Was interesting to have Netty, Gretel, Fedra, etc. all working together on one thing. Eman has such power.
I'm hating this whole Alfredo plot line with Delicia. I'm not believing this will go away soon either. What is it with the Ruiz family men?? The deductive area of the brain seems to be in low-charge mode. We just know to prolong this, Axel wll continue stupid. And make Lorena GO AWAY!
Lots of action, just to bad the hatchet job on Uni is preventing so much being shown to folks. Things are getting fun...even Bernardo is becoming a hoot. Who would have thunk!

What a great title, Julia. One of your best. And I especially loved "Young Oxygenwaster's Club"...sounds so much like....well, never mind.
My other favorite was Lorenzo talking about Ilitia's marriage to "el money, er Emanuel". Good call on Low's Value Hierarchy.
But the real sweet spot was when you noted the dumb scene of screeching ladies in Brandon's office as one that Univision CHOSE to leave in, after hacking out so many others. (still mourning the truncated version of Low and Fedra's negotiations which each had his elbow raised to signal their sniper.)
I had hoped that with these casserole mixes the ugly Axel-Delicia storyline would be quickly over. Alas, that is not the case. In some ways it just seems like covert sadism to have so many extended abuse and humiliation scenes of women in these stories. I'm pretty much up to my limit on this, I can tell you.
But not on your sassy prose. Great re-telling of the scrunched events of last night.

Julia, this is great. Like Judy, I love the title. I only watched the Univision version yesterday so of course you cleared up several things that confused me. I was under the impression at first that Vicky must have agreed to help Brandon trap Eman.
Oliver is certainly a dedicated cop to keep responding to Kristel's pleas for help. She has a strange way of expressing her gratitude.
I didn't quite understand all the ladies at the police station, but it really struck me as funny for some reason.
My favorite scene was the snub the ladies gave Jorge as they were having breakfast. Talk about a message sent and received.
I think that Alfredo might have come clean if Axel had just nicked him a bit. I was wanting to see some blood.
Lorenzo was very funny last night as he helplessly watched Fedra choke the judge and accusing Brandon of being after his money.
Thanks again, Julia. You told it all very well.

Julia, I laughed out loud at the title. Excellent narrative. Thank you for providing so many details for both episodes. Reading your summaries is always a pleasure.
Kristel recovered quickly from her abduction by "numbskulled" and "idiot" Malicio didn't she? She barely had time to exhale before trying to seduce Oliver (yet again). Have to give her props for her on point timing, enabling Gretel to see them (yet again). Ack.
Like daisy and Judy, the sight of Axel brandishing the broken bottle gave false hope this sordid storyline would end. I'm fairly sure that had I been facing the sharp shards, I would have confessed without delay. Still dismayed that Axel didn't believe Dee in the first place but went to Alfredo for corroboration.
I guess pigs DO fly. Never thought I'd see the day Low actually called his daughter "Ilitia" instead of princess. And of course, the slap was a clear signal his days as a doting dad are over. Threatening her baby should give her the impetus she needs to realize the sad truth that her father is an amoral, murdering monster.
Like Judy, I'm finding these storylines quite depressing and would like to see a return to the lighthearted hijinx that made this so enjoyable mere weeks ago.

Another Julia gem starting with an outrageously funny title and followed by a superior rendition of the night's antics.
I also enjoyed the slumber party scenes. The ladies are much smarter when they think as a team, although I notice that Doris and Delicia seem to have the best brains of the group. I loved watching the Jorge snub and seeing his self-satisfied smirk wilt.
Diann, I agree that the final scene between Ilitia and Lowrenzo is pivotal. Monsters like him eventually turn on everyone, even their favorites. Now that Ilitia has seen his dark side I hope that she will need to solicit Brandon's help sometime soon.
Like Carlos I would have liked to see Axel press his point just a bit harder. Since Alf wears his shirts two sizes too small it would only have taken a small nick to get a good trickle going, what with the built up pressure and all. How satisfying that would have been for us too!
I question Lowrenzo's method for removing fingerprints: ineffectually flapping his hankie around. Ah well, considering our super cops' investigative skills it should be sufficient.
Julia, thank you for providing the shining light in my rainy, dreary morning. Nothing like hunkering down with a hot cup of black tea, my blankie, and Julia's recap to drown out the drizzle.

Loved the "Judge Pantoja gets all choked up"! And "The Young Oxygenwasters Club". Hilarious!
I had skipped over some of these episodes on-line. Between the heart-breaking Delicia/Axel story, Gretel constantly catching Kristel with Oliver in a compromising position, a truly evil Fedra on the loose, Low becoming a big meanie in his own right, blind MV, snarky Jorge and rapey Mau, it just got too repetitive and depressing. The evolving Chema/Eman/Emiliano story is heartwarming though.

These double episodes are a killer. Just getting through all the material takes all the time I have. I miss being able to relish each scene and let the little hamster run free!
I'm SO glad the ladies are finally teaming up and sharing information. Now we're getting somewhere. Maybe with Doris and Delicia on the case, they'll finally figure out who is "the real Fedra Curiel." Marianela has barely done a thing. They know she was a prostitute and came from Veracruz. They know there was a boat named El Lirio de Plata. They know Fedra's real name. What else are they looking for, exactly?
Loved watching Jorge try to keep up his cockiness while Eman smirked at him, and his smarmy charm while the ladies flicked him off. Can't Kristel turn her attentions to him and keep him busy and give Oliver a break for awhile?

Judy, I'm trying to figure out what "Young Oxygenwasters Club" sounds like, and I'm getting nowhere.
I liked the scene where Jorge confronted Eman in jail, Eman told him to get some pantalones and called him out and Jorge called the guards, hence proving himself a wimp.
Good call on Kristel. Nobody is paying attention to Jorge and he has plenty of time. She keeps glomming onto the busy guys.

Julia, wonderful job! Loved the title and the Oxygen Wasters, and many other lines. I agree that these double episodes exhaust the brain cells so they don’t want to romp, but you really made this episode bounce. I only had time to watch the TV version, but I knew you’d fill me in today, and you did! Thank you so much.
One of the things I’ve found troubling throughout is that our supposed hero Emanuel is a thief and liar. Yesterday MariVicky told Brandon that sometimes the legal way doesn’t work, but I’m sorry. Maybe stealing could be justified if you were a starving mob storming the fat king’s castle, but rich Emanuel taking other people’s jewels just doesn’t cut it.

Julia, may the TN gods answer your idea and send Kristel in Jorge's sad arms. We speculated way back on her as a possibility, but with her returning to her catty ways (though very funny) and Jorge now just as bad, what a perfect pair they would make. I'm tired of poor Oliver becoming the door mat.
Thanks Julia for the recap and also providing the deleted scenes. I agree that for all Mari's huffing and puffing to bring Fedra down she hasn't done a thing while Jorge schemed and planned behind her back.
I guess it was a matter of time that Lo would turn on Ilitia because of her being pregnant with Brandon's baby. Of course he would argue that a man sleeping around is mucho but if a woman does it she's a slut.
Interesting that Uni didn't cut out all the screeching women at the station. The show has gotten a bit dreary so hopefully we will see some lighthearted action soon.

Seriously, Julia? You haven't heard of the Young Republican's Club? They're a fixture on every campus.
Oh, them. I guess I've always lived in really liberal places where Republicans haven't had a huge presence. Haha, now I have a funny mental image of Axel's frenemies behaving as the junior varsity Fox News team.
Thanks, Julia, we only watch the Univision version, so nothing makes much sense until we read the recaps. What a lot of work for you guys! And we really, really appreciate it.
