Capítulo 178: Stabbing pains

And now here we go! This is from the internet, with no captions, so corrections and additions are welcome, necessary in fact, I’m sure.
Friday: Ilitia is at Netty’s, and Brandon is telling her to git on home and attend to her own life when suddenly she’s hit with a bad cramp in her innards.
Out in nature it’s a stranglefest! Fedra and Jose Maria have each other by the throat. Her mike is getting strangled too, so she’s muffled, but we gather that JM is upbraiding her for her evil ways, and she tells him that she wanted more out of life, something he never understood. He shoves her to the ground, but then has chest pains, taking him out of action. She hauls out a big knife and stabs him in the side, real deep. Adios para siempre!
In her bedroom, Vicky tells Jorge it looks like if Ilitia really did cheat on Eman, that once again she’s setting a trap to separate them, er Vicky and Eman anyway. Jorge doesn’t think Ilitia’s capable of it, but Mari sure does, listing all her past tricks. They both wonder why Eman doubts Ilitia. Mari figures Kristel told some lie, or gosh, is the baby actually Mauricio’s? She begs Jorge to help her find out the truth so she and Eman can maybe be together. Jorge, surreptitiously rolling his eyes, says sure, I just want you happy.
Back to doubled-over Ilitia. Gladiola and Netty send prayers heavenwards that the baby won’t be lost, while Brandon is solicitous, even calling her “mi vida.” He’s kind and she’s grateful, and Netty goes off to call the doctor.
Jose is still alive, and Fedra is telling him he asked for it, he didn’t leave her alone like she asked, so now he’s gonna be dead, like he was 26 years ago. The background sound is really loud and they’re hissing at each other, so I can’t make out what they’re saying. She swears that Juana Felipa doesn’t exist anymore. He hisses something else and faints dead away.
Fedra stands over him and looks at the knife in shock and awe. Die, she says, kicking him. Nobody can know! I can’t believe it, she keeps repeating, and looks around, scared, and gathers up her things. You know, a lady’s usual stuff: purse, coat, high heel, and of course pistol.
Paula has her arms around Max and laments how Delicia has suffered and how changed Axel is, how mean. Delicia comes in, apparently summoned. Max tells her not to have her tail between her legs and to be feisty like a real Ruiz y de Teresa. He’s going to help. She retorts that the name is a burden and she can’t wait to get a lawyer and sign her some divorce papers. Max isn’t in favor, so Delicia says maybe he could shoot Axel for her.
Enter Axel, also summoned, and when he claps eyes on Delicia he’s all ¿Qué haces aquí? and tries to leave. Sit! Stay! orders the general, who’s fixing to give him what for.
Ilitia is sleeping on somebody’s bed – Brandon’s? - while Gladiola and Netty look on. Couldn’t they have loaned her some jammies? Brandon comes in to get the news. Apparently Ilitia has to have absolute rest or she’ll lose the baby. Netty thinks Brandon needs to advise Eman, but he doesn’t want to. They fuss and he stomps out. After he’s gone, Netty remarks that Brandon seems to like Ilitia an awful lot. Gladiola thinks it’s worse, it’s love.
Axel insults Delicia and she wants to leave, but Max tells them they both have to stay put. Axel is a complete snot, saying Delicia doesn’t deserve his name, etc. He figures Max is much smarter than he is because he didn’t marry Paula, knowing that servants were just for having a little fun. Max hauls off and slaps him, but not hard enough, because he’s still standing. Max tells him Fedra’s evil blood is in him. Axel repeats his insult about servants not being worthy of the family’s fine name and storms out of the room.
It’s nighttime and Mari, in her fat suit out by the pool, has figured what the hey and has a whole box of chocolates that she’s working on. Eman comes out and greets her, but she tells him to get on back to his wife. Eman says Ilitia took off without telling anybody, and he needs to think over what he’s going to do. First he needs to make sure that she cheated on him. Eman’s glad that Ilitia’s away and Jorge too, so they can chat uninterrupted.
He’s thrilled that Mari’s right there in front of him. She reminds him that they’re married and that from now on, they should act like what they are, cousins. Eman doesn’t think Jorge’s playing straight with her. Yes, Jorge’s a little jealous, says Mari, but she knows what happened with Jorge and Victoria, and it’s a matter between him and her. More important is what happened between Vicky and Eman.
Emil has asked Muñeca out to a nice restaurant because he wants to talk to her about the relationship between Lorenzo and Fedra. Muñeca winces. Her cells rings and she switches it off so they can talk. Emil is stunned to hear that she’s suspected for years. Muñeca brings up Lorenzo’s relationship with Kristel, and says Fedra and Lorenzo are two of a kind. They both rag on their money-grubbing, cheating spouses. Muñeca’s glad she’s divorced from that scum (and ended up with Christian and didn’t have to give Lo any money) and Emil ought to do the same thing. He thinks Fedra will give him a divorce only over her dead body.
Fedra comes into Lorenzo’s pad, shaking and triumphant, bloody knife in hand. She tells him she did it. He keeps telling her to put the knife down, and they end up necking.
Eman wants to know if Vicky told Mari about what happened between them, and Mari says of course, she’s my best friend. Mari wonders if he was going to hide it. No, he says, he was going to tell her, but after all the other gazillion things he wants to tell her. He admits he fell in love with Vicky, and he figures Mari will hate him. She turns from him and smiles, then turns back and seriously tells him of course not.
He says that since he’s seen her, he’s had such an urge to hug her, to kiss her. He’s bewildered over his feelings for her and for Vicky and thinks he’s a big disaster. Look at our lives! I’m married to a woman I don’t even love, and you’re married to a guy who is … blech.
I have to tell you something, Mari starts, but he cuts her off, talking about two years ago when she left without any explanation, and now all those feeling have come rushing back. He can’t help himself! He kisses her
She kisses him back. How I’ve missed your kisses, he says, your lips (if he only knew) and how you smell, like chocolate. She backs him off saying she feels like the worst woman in the world. He figures she could hate him, but she says he’s the one who has the right to hate her, after all she did to him, after what she’s doing to him now.
He reaches for her and she pushes him away, telling him not to touch her or he’ll realize. What I feel for you? he asks. I can tell you still love me! Anguished Mari says they can’t go on, because he’s going to hate her, and she runs off.
Eman’s cell rings and it’s Netty with the news about Ilitia.
Emil asks Muñeca if she’s ever wondered what their lives would have been like if they’d married. They both share a chuckle and Muñeca smiles that they were never in love; it was all arranged by their families and she was awfully relieved when he cancelled out. She was so in love with Lorenzo – stupid, huh? Emil thinks he was equally stupid to pick Fedra. They have a laughing toast to their stupidity.
Muñeca thinks he’s found the true one in Netty, and he should fight for their love. As for Garduño, she hasn’t heard from him in days. He was going to make some major changes in his life for her, but it looks like love wasn’t enough. They joke a bit and laugh and toast again.
Lorenzo and Fedra are under the sheets post-we-don’t-even-want-to-think-about-it. She’s feeling great, a real queen and nobody can destroy her. He figures that together they’re indestructible, but she says he needs punishing. WhaddidIdonow? he wants to know. I’m thinking of what a schmuck he was when she was in jail, but she’s thinking of his admitting to Emil that they’d been having an affair for years, plus he blabbed to him that Kristel was his daughter.
Lorenzo counts on his fingers: he showed up, he insulted me, he hit me… he knew way too much; Bernardo had to have been the informer. Lo knows some guys who could take care of Bernardo, but Fedra says leave him to her. Anyway, she purrs, she wants to keep celebrating Jose Maria’s demise. Let’s go to La Mala Noche!
Gladiola and Netty are expecting Eman and Muñeca, but Gladiola is weepy because she’d rather that her Brandon had taken up with Consuelo than with that…. Consuelo’s out of the picture, though, and Brandon won’t change his mind.
Jose Maria staggers in and falls on the floor. They pull his shirt open to reveal the stab wound.
Bernardo comes into Nerieda’s room and she falls joyfully into his arms. It’s been awful with him gone from the house. Don’t worry, he smooches her, he’s at work putting things back they way they were. She’s glad because Fedra needs her more than ever now that La Gorda has returned. Bernardo can’t believe it – Vicky and Mari are the same person. Nereida says Fedra thought so too, but apparently not. Bernardo laughs that this he’s got to see with his own eyes. They end up kissing.
The ladies want to call the doctor, but Jose Maria refuses, saying he just wants some rum and something else I couldn’t catch – anybody get it? Netty fusses that he needs to go to the hospital, but he’s having none of it. He needs to go wreak revenge on the person who did this to him.
Fedra, huh? says Netty. Gladiola wants to get Brandon so JM can report her. JM doesn’t want the police either, just the rum and ? (whatever it was I couldn’t catch). The ladies shiver at his wonderful manliness.
Mari is pacing with her chocolates, telling herself that Jorge was right – she can’t tell Eman because he’ll hate her. In strolls Bernardo. I can’t believe my eyes (Lo veo y no lo creo), he smirks. What’d you come back for? To get what’s mine and to hand out justice, says Mari the Chocolate-Lipped Avenger.
You may run into something else, warns Bernardo. Mari smiles that he must be having pangs of conscience watching her eat chocolates, since they’re the same kind he poisoned.
Jorge, slippery charm set to maximum ooze, has stopped by Muñeca’s looking for Ilitia, but Flora the maid is not impressed and tells him she’s not there and waves him off. On the steps, he thoughtbubbles that he has to know what Eman’s thinking before she does something else stupid.
Solicitous Brandon is lying spooned next to Ilitia in the bed, stroking her arm and telling her everything is going to be okay if she follows the doctor’s orders. She thanks him for his support and asks him not to leave her alone. Ow! Another cramp. She doesn’t want to lose the baby. Brandon sweetly strokes her arm and kisses her cheek and tells her he wants the baby to be healthy and her to be happy happy happy. The camera backs up and we see Eman in the doorway, watching. Comfy? he asks.
Bernardo pretends he has no idea what Mari’s talking about. She states that on Fedra’s orders he was killing her slowly, poisoning her chocolates. He denies it smoothly, but she tells him he and Fedra are gonna pay, and soon. He thinks all that fat has gummed up the circulation to her brain. Whap! she slaps him a good one and reminds him that she is the dueña of this house and he is but a servant. He does an elaborate flourishing bow and sarcastically apologies.
Mari tells him that anybody who gets in her way is going to be bulldozed, so he better watch his mouth. Off she goes and Bernardo’s cell rings. It’s Jose Maria telling him that Fedra tried to kill him and this time Bernardo wasn’t there to save his life.
Eman remarks on Brandon and his faithful wife’s friendship. She would never mess with Brandon, right? Byyeee, right? Ilitia explains that she came to the pension to find Vicky who had insulted her, and then she had these bad cramps. Brandon tells her maybe that’s why she got cramps and she needs to control her little impulses. Ilitia pouts that it hurt and she was scared. Eman has heard from Netty about the absolute rest thing, but what he wonders is what Ilitia’s doing there in Brandon’s bedroom.
It was the closest bedroom, says Brandon. How touching, smiles Eman. So it’s true what she (Kristel? Ilitia?) said, that you are in love with her?
Jairo and Manolo have left the bar where they were hoping to find Jose Maria, but he never showed up. They hug and off Jairo goes. She’s just a few feet from the pension when she’s astonished to see Jose Maria coming out clutching his side. She follows him down the street.
Brandon assures Eman he would have done the same thing for any woman, and no, he doesn’t feel anything for Ilitia, who pouts at Eman, wanting to know if he’s jealous. Nah, says Eman, but she wonders why he’s acting so strange (though he seems the same to me). They agree that Kristel tells a lot of lies, but Ilitia presses on, wanting to know what she actually said. No luck on that one, Eman just says having Mari around affects him.
Anyway, he’ll bring her some clothes and stay the night with her. Brandon puts the kibosh on that one, saying Eman can’t stay in the house because Vicky lives there and she wouldn’t like it. That’s her problem, says Eman. Fortunately we don’t have to suffer through a big scene about it because Muñeca shows up and says she’ll stay with Ilitia.
Oliver has asked Kristel to come into the station, so she appears, zeroing in on him like a heat-seeking missile. He tells her nope, he just wants to talk about Mauricio, and he asks her to sit down, which she does, on his lap, arms all busy tentacles. He brushes her off and tells her that tomorrow is the hearing about Mauricio’s charges against Mari (Seriously? Those were legit charges?) and Kristel’s testimony is important.
She is in full Kristel bloom, vamping, pawing him, teasing him, and finally telling him she’ll be his informant if he repays her in cash.
Jose Maria meets up with Bernardo in the park. Bernardo is ashamed he wasn’t there to defend him. JM says it was up to him (JM), but there’s only one end to this story: Either JM kills Fedra or she kills him. Manolo hides behind a nice big tree trunk and watches.
Bernardo says that Fedra has lost her mind and is making a lot of mistakes, and it’s all because of Lorenzo, he’s the guy they need to get rid of . Help me save her from him! JM snarls that he’s not interested in saving Fedra, he wants to kill her and Bernardo is to help. Fedra’s determined to kill him and it’s because of that damned (drat – I couldn’t make out what he was saying, then he says something about a son- anybody get this part?). It has to stop – tonight! Please – take me to her.
Episode 179: So, a pirate, a mob boss, and an orange walk into a bar…
So we’re still with Capitán Jose María Sevilla, who, being a tough old pirate and thus none the worse for a little stabbing, tells Bernardo that Fedra wants to keep him separated from his son, and he won’t allow this. Her games end now. Take me to her, he demands.
Kristel and her hormones run amok all over Oliver in Brandon’s office. She tries and she tries to seduce our favorite supersupersupercop (her term), but he isn’t tempted. He fights her off and tells her he can’t be with just anyone (cualquiera), his tone strongly insinuating he means UNA cualquiera (a slut). Especially not the sister of his beloved Gretel. She’s still in Little Engine That Could mode, but Oliver fortunately gets a call on his radio and takes the chance to flee. Kristel mutters to herself that her current heat-seeking missile trajectory is all Mau’s fault for wanting that flamenco guanabi “no matter what.”
Over at La Mala Noche…well, if you only saw the TV version, you missed a REALLY long scene of La Reina’s “act.” It’s a big hit, as usual. Low escorts Fedra to a table afterward, and they toast and she suggests he’ll get an encore later. Mau joins them and Fedra leaves. Low says he and Dandy are planning something, and this time El Lirio de Plata won’t get in the way.
Meanwhile, at La Buena Vida, Emanuel tells Fidel that he (Eman) and El Lirio need to appear in the same place at the same time and be seen by the police, to clear Brandon’s suspicions about Eman.
Outside La Mala Noche, Oliver calls off his backup officers so that he can go into the club as a regular patron and stalk Fonseca.
CJMS and Bernardo get out of a cab at LMN. Cap’n is surprised at the locale, but Bernie says Fedra is still up to her old tricks. Gretel/Manolo gets out of another cab across the street, and spies as Bernardo refuses to let JM go in alone. Bern says he won’t let either Fedra or JM hurt the other.
Brandon snuggles up with Ilitia on his bed, rubbing her tummy. He muses that her baby could have been his. No, no, that’s just crazy; good thing that didn’t happen; it would just cause all kinds of problems, he says. Ilitia starts to respond to that, but Muñeca walks in and asks Brandon what the heck he’s doing. Did Ilitia tell him the truth?
Olly olly oxen free; Marianela has made it into her bedroom. Jorge helps her take off the fat suit and she complains that it’s super hot. Jorge offers to go fetch her some dinner, since she obviously can’t leave the room without the disguise.
Downstairs, Emanuel hides when he sees Jorge heading to the kitchen. Then he sneaks by and races upstairs to his gordita. He calls out to her and Mari freaks out and races to the door to stop him from barging in. She slams his arm in the door and shrieks at him to go away. Emanuel says he just wants to talk. Marianela squeals that she’s naked. “Even better!” he says. Mari manages to lock him out and she tries to get the fat suit back on, but only succeeds in crashing around and knocking everything over. Eman wonders what’s going on.
Brandon says of course he knows the truth; Ilitia’s baby is at risk and she needs to rest. That’s why he’s giving her such hands-on care. Muñeca tells him she’s no fool. She gets Brandon to leave and tells Ilitia she can’t keep deceiving both Brandon and Emanuel. Ilitia mocks Brandon’s poverty. Muñeca tells her if she’s not serious about him, then to stop teasing him. Either tell him the baby’s his, or stay away from him para siempre.
Mari is still having trouble getting fat again. She tries to convince Eman to go away and hollers for Jorge. Emiliano comes along and tells Eman to stop being childish and drags him away. Jorge returns, sans dinner, and tells Mari she looks like a plucked chicken. Ah, romance.
Still at LMN, Mau professes his loyalty to his new boss Lowrenzo. Low tells him to stay away from Kristel. Malicio claims she is the love of his life, which Low ridicules. He says he’ll kill Mau if he hurts Kristel again. Hm, that seems win-win.
Oliver and GretelMan run into each other inside LMN. ¡¿Qué haces aqui?!
CJMS and Bernardo watch another long stripless tease. This time La Reina’s got a whip. Again, the crowd goes wild.
Oliver tells GretelMan he’s following Mauricio. GMan accuses him of only wanting Mau in jail so that he can have Kristel to himself. Oliver hauls GMan out of the club for his/her safety.
Downstairs at the house, Emiliano gives Eman a fatherly lecture about proper and moral behavior. Eman insists he just wanted to talk with Mari. He admits he’s done a lot, A LOT, of stupid things, first and foremost marrying Ilitia, and his life is just chaos and he has no idea what to do. He and Ilitia are expecting a baby, he thinks she’s cheating on him, he’s in love with Victoria who helped him get over Marianela… “You got over Marianela? Then why are you chasing her all over the house?” Hmmm. Good question. Eman says he’d like to find out himself. Emiliano advises him to clarify his situation with Vic and forget about Mari, and above all, don’t let the baby suffer.
Jorge peels off Mari’s chicken suit again. She asks him to help her sneak out so she can go to the pensión and talk to Ilitia.
La Mala Noche – another big round of applause for La Reina. JM joins in and stands up to praise her performance. He loudly says he hasn’t seen a show like that in more than 25 years. Fedra and Low are both mad that el capitán is not dead after all. JM suggests he could save Juana Felipa again, like he did years ago, caballero that he is. Fedra snarls that she doesn’t need saving; she is LA REINA. “Queen of WHAT? Of all the whores in the whorehouse?” JM sneers. Lowrenzo goes after JM, but Bernardo holds a gun on Low and pulls him away. Capitán JM rants to the whole crowd that he’d like to see the face of this society lady of the evening’s husband if he found out what she’s up to. Mauricio holds a gun on Bernie, giving Low the opportunity to punch JM. They all run backstage. The rest of the crowd doesn’t seem terribly concerned about all this. Maybe they think it’s part of the show.
Muñeca wants to take Ilitia home. Brandon and Ilitia both protest that she can’t move. Brandon gets a call from Consuelo. Javier is really sick, and she has no money and is frantic. The naco in shining armor is on his way. Ilitia’s mad that he has abandoned her.
In the dressing room, Chema and Fedra threaten to kill each other. He mentions their son and Fedra claims Eman is not his son. Low drops by to kill Chema, but Bernardo’s right behind him with a gun at his neck to stop him. Mau points his gun at Bernardo. Fedra begs Low and Mau to shoot the cap’n. Chema stands there, having brought a knife to a gun fight.
In the pensión kitchen, Muñeca apologizes to Gladiola for all the trouble Ilitia’s putting them to. Gladiola says it’s no problem, but she asks Muñeca to make Ilitia leave her son alone. Muñeca says it takes two to tango. She confesses that she wishes Ilitia would marry Brandon.
JM’s holding his knife to Fedra’s throat. The other guys are still lined up like dominoes with guns. Suddenly it’s a lot of action really fast, and some of it gets left out of the tv version. I think Mau turns away, Low hits JM with a bottle, M hits Low and maybe takes his gun, and Bernardo attacks Mau.
MariVicky and Jorge arrive at the pensión, and Netty’s having trouble remembering to call MV Victoria and talk about Marianela as a separate person. MV’s worried Ilitia will overhear. Netty explains to her why Ilitia is there. Sneaky Jorge excuses himself to go “to the loo.” MV tells Netty she wants Ilitia out of there ASAP, “before she finds out about me.” Of course Eman has just walked in and he asks what Ilitia could find out.
Jorge visits Ilitia and gripes that Kristel has made Emanuel suspect that the baby isn’t his.
Now JM’s holding a gun while Fedra binds and gags Mauricio and Lowrenzo with feather boas and masks and other bordello accoutrements. Bernardo is unconscious on the floor. Cap’n Pirate hauls off his booty i.e. Fedra.
MV claims she just doesn’t want Ilitia to know she’s there, because of the childish fit that would be certain. So she wants Ilitia gone so she can have some peace. Eman says the baby’s in danger so Ilitia can’t move. He asks to speak to Victoria privately and Netty warns him to behave himself.
Emanuel asks Vic for forgiveness. He knows she didn’t try to get Ilitia to abort the baby. MV says she had nothing to do with Mau raping Ilitia, either. Eman says he knows. He also says Mari’s return hasn’t changed anything; he’s still 110% in luuurve with Victoria. Jorge comes downstairs and asks “are you sure? Then why are you still chasing after my wife?”
Oliver has hauled GretelMan back to the cave, er, the kitchen at Casa RydT, and s/he’s hopping mad that he won’t let her go where s/he pleases. “Leave me alone! We are OVER! Forget about me!” Oliver says that’s impossible. He clamps his arms around his beloved and says he won’t let go until Gretel admits she still loves him. She won’t say it so I guess Oliver decides to extract the words by suction. Smoocheroochy. Kristel walks in and gags! Oliver! Liplocking with a DUDE! What is he even doing in her house?! Oliver tells Kristel it’s time she and the whole world knew the truth. He will never be interested in Kristel because he’s gay! Oliver puts on a big display of passion with Manolo to prove it. Kristel is like totally sickified.
JM has Fedra bound and gagged in the back of the car, driving to Veracruz. He tells himself he’s taking her back to where their story began, and there it will end.
Oliver swoons that he’s way completely in love with the mustachioed little reporter. Kristel sarcastically says “I’m sure!” She says she’d love to see Gretel find out about that; she’d go even “más psycho” than she already is. Oliver says he can’t help how he feels, so just leave him alone. Kristel tells him he only likes Manolo because he hasn’t experience a girl like her (she holds two tomatoes to her chest to suggest her charms), someone who can get him in touch with his “dark side” (she says in English). “Get ready.” She says she’ll have him at her orders in one second, just by snapping her fingers! Kristel snaps her way out of the kitchen.
Emanuel admits to Jorge that the love he had for Marianela isn’t dead after all. Insults are slung both ways as usual. Eman says he totally loves Victoria, too, and he’s so confused. MV leaves. Jorge asks Eman what his intentions are. He can’t have two women. One to a customer. Netty tells Eman he only loves one. She won’t let Jorge play dirty; this deceit is over.
Upstairs, MV demands that Ilitia tell her who is the baby’s father.
Avances: Axhole brings Lorena to the house for a “honeymoon” to torture Delicia. Netty tells Eman that Mari never stopped loving him and has never loved Jorge.
Se le caen las medias a ese imbécil – his stockings fall off for that idiot. Fedra mocking Bernardo’s slavish devotion to Capitán Sevilla
Zafarrancho – total chaos

Maggie, thanks so much for doing this! You're a lifesaver! A cherry one, or whatever YOUR favorite flavor is!
I really cracked up when I read your part and found that we had both independently described Kristel as a "heat-seeking missile." Her scenes with Oliver were the best part of the whole two episodes.
I thought Emanuel was in fine form, too. I really enjoyed his calm sarcastic amusement when he found Ilitia and Brandon snuggled up together.

Well don't you ladies make the funniest ever tag team? Nice job!! You are both a hoot.
Maggie, I like your version of telenovela heaven.
Oh man, just when we thought we were rid of Consuelo for good she has to go and call.
I think my favorite scene was when Mari was trying to get the fat suit on, she crashed around the room and still ended up getting it upside down and backwards. No wait, that was the second favorite. My all time fave was when Kristel walked in on Oli and Gman kissing. Once again Oliver steals the show (with a little help from Kristel and Gman).
OK, how many of us think Fidel will get a chance to play El Lirio to provide an alibi for Eman? He's simply got to so that Muneca can fall for him.
Some favorite lines: "Slipper charm set to maximum ooze";"He says he’ll kill Mau if he hurts Kristel again. Hm, that seems win-win."
Julia, thanks for pointing out the UNA cualquiera nuance. I had forgotten, thanks for that.
Maggie, I know what you mean about the sound being bad. I couldn't hear what Jose Maria said either and I backed up a couple of times. For me they were hard episodes to understand.
Maggie and Julia, thanks again for your terrific tag team recaps. They were hilarious and fun from beginning to end.

Whoa, Julia, I sure missed a lot not seeing part II tonight. Yowza! Loved your title and the whole shebang. Not having seen it, I’m confused as to why Fedra would tie up Lo and Mau for Jose … was she under orders from him, or was he the most exciting male at the time?
I’m awfully sorry to have missed Fedra’s dances. I think I can safely say there’s nothing like them elsewhere on TV.
Heat-seeking missile.. awesome! Are we geniuses, or what? LOL

The Dynamic Duo has hit it out of the ballpark! Wondeful recap!
Not much time this morning, endless meetings and calls last couple days, but had to add my "BUMMER" (channeling my inner Kristel) to having Consuelo surface. I see some issues when she finds Ilitia firmly established in Brandon's room.
Speaking of Kristel - she just lights up the screen. And put her and Oliver together, priceless.
Actually enjoyed watching MV dealing with the fat suit. But that's about it...her endless whining and back and forth...been there done that. I'm feeling more and more sorry for Jorge the way she insists on making him help her win Eman and SHE KNOWS how he feels. I'd go villian too.
And with the image of Mau and Low tied up in La Reina's gear once again firmly planted in my brain, I'm off to work.
Once again...stellar job!
Not much time this morning, endless meetings and calls last couple days, but had to add my "BUMMER" (channeling my inner Kristel) to having Consuelo surface. I see some issues when she finds Ilitia firmly established in Brandon's room.
Speaking of Kristel - she just lights up the screen. And put her and Oliver together, priceless.
Actually enjoyed watching MV dealing with the fat suit. But that's about it...her endless whining and back and forth...been there done that. I'm feeling more and more sorry for Jorge the way she insists on making him help her win Eman and SHE KNOWS how he feels. I'd go villian too.

Good morning Tag-team and Sylvia. Like Syl, I loved the "slippery charm set to maximum ooze" and "he'll kill Mau if he hurts Kristel. That seems win-win to me."
Also enjoyed "Mari, the chocolate lipped avenger" (Maggie) and "extract the words by suction" (Julia).
You're both great writers and have a similar sense of humor so you're the perfect tag team.
The one thing I enjoyed about last night's butchered version were the replays of Fedra's pathetic dance routines and her aggrieved "Not cheap!" when Chema denounced her as a cheap prostitute I think it's becoming a refrain in this one.
Maggie...I was relieved that you had trouble understanding Fedra during the murder attempt and your microphone explanation makes sense. When I first started watching it online, I felt like I'd lost all my Spanish comprehension.
Thank you both. Once again, they ripped a lot of the life and juice out of these episodes. Clearly they just want this show to be OVER. At whatever cost.

PS Forgot to mention those two excellent titles. Stabbing Pains...nice way to link Chema and Ilitia Maggie. And of course Julia, very funny "walk into a bar" title for yours. Well done dynamic duo.
Maggie, thanks for the recap. Also thank you for filling in all the parts that are missing from the TV version. I can't seem to keep up with who is who and who is trying to kill who, and who wants to be with who. (or is that whom?)
Have they announced when this show ends? Thanks to all the recappers.

Maggie and Julia, you guys make an excellent team. Very nicely done. Hilarious as always.
Again last night, I only watched what Univision offered. Apparently, they left out some really good stuff. Thanks for adding clarity to what I saw.
Kristal just gets funnier and funnier. I laughed out loud at the scene between her, Manolo, and Oliver.
The chaotic scene in Fedra's dressing room was also hysterically funny.
By the way, there is definitely an opening for an opportunity to gain access to Maggie's TN heaven this Fri. Email me at cmhillmd@sbcglobal.net. I'll even tart up your recap with pictures if you wish.

Maggie, the scene where Fedra tied up Mau and Low happened really quickly. One moment people were bashing each other and the next the guys were tied up like a couple of peacocks. I especially enjoyed Mau with his feather headdress and lady's dainty shoved in his mouth.
Julia, I meant to add that I agree with you, Eman was at his best last night. I liked when he hid in the house, waiting for Jorrid to walk by, and he made a funny hand gesture behind his back.
La Reina's first "performance" was significantly different from her usual schtick. I guess she was all hot and excited from thinking she killed Chema.

Hi I missed the TV version...they aired it way early on the west coast...5:30 and from the tv guide it seems to only have shown for half an hour, it looked like the news came on at 6pm but Sylvia thinks her tivo recorded an hour...so maybe I read it wrong.
Anyway, I missed trying to imagine what the editors were thinking when they chopped everything up so thanks for the tag teaming..I watched the beginning of the online so far..and really didn't like the stabbing...I really hate knives...
I'll have to go back and check it out, but what I have read of the recapping is hysterical, I too like your TN heaven and wouldn't mind to check out of here every so often to visit...I think I couldn't last there for eternity though with so much drama, well, maybe if the galans were plentiful...

Thanks Maggie and Julia for an awesome tag team recap. I too loved Eman's sarcasm when confronting Ilitia and Brandon. I think deep down he knows that the baby Ilitia is carrying isn't his.
The scenes of Kristel walking in on Oliver and Manolo/Gretel liplock were hysterical.
I also enjoyed the scene of Mari trying to put back on her fat suit and crashing around the room while Eman, standing outside the door, wondered what was going on. Understandably, he's confused about his feelings since he thinks he's in love with two different women. Mari rightfully deduces that once Eman knows the deception, he will be angry with her since she got a taste of it in the jail cell.
Only saw the Uni chopped version so I missed the scenes of Max confronting Ax-hole of his horrendous treatment of Delicia, Fedra's exotic dancing scenes, and the fight scene. From the description, it sounds like I missed a treat.

Thanks Julia and Maggie for your tag team effort.
Tonight's big reveal (by Chema of Fedra) should be interesting as it actually might come to pass.

Maggie, I think that Jose Maria somehow got control of all the guns. Once everyone else was disarmed, Fedra had no choice but to do as he wished. Now, how did he do that? The same mysterious adroitness Eman inherited and employs in his Lirio activities, I guess.
Not happy to see Consuelo calling Brandon again. What does this add to the plot? I am wondering whether Javier is really sick, or if it's a Munchausen by proxy thing. Didn't they go back to where Consuelo's family lives? Why doesn't she have other help?
I used to think Jorge both wanted Mari's money and was attracted to her, but now I think it's just the money. He doesn't seem to have any hormones or caring emotions at all. He's icy cold, in contrast to Emanuel who is oozing heat and lust and genuine caring all over the place.

"Oozing heat and lust and genuine caring all over the place"! Yikes. What a way with words, Julia. But glad to see you're no longer pro-Jorge in anyway.
At first I was okay with his accent, given that it's genuine and all, but now I can't bear it. (Well, there's a lot about this show I can't bear right now...but you know what I'm saying...)
I still enjoy his eye-rolling and air of exhausted patience. But that's it.
Consuelo's return has to be a plot device of some sort but ugh...she is tedious in the extreme.
And that's all Dr. Crankypants has to say for the moment.

So is there any chance of Axel being redeemed? I can't think of anything that he can do at this point that will satisfy me. I'm sorry that they didn't show Max slapping him last night. I suppose if he risks his life in saving her, but I really don't want to see her imperiled. She seemed to have some good chemistry with Javi. Maybe she could wait until he's a little older... Of course if he's really sick...

Agree, Jorge just cares about the money as far as Mari goes. I think seeing her in the fat suit is a real turnoff for him. On the other side there is Eman, "naked? even better!"
Julia, I must also comment that your "oozing lust" description is awesome. He is irresistible. I don't even blame him any more for being confused and "fickle".
I do like the running motif of alter-egos in this show.

Julia, I forgot to say you’re very welcome. I couldn’t sleep the sleep of the blameless if I took a night off and everyone else had to do double duty.
JudyB – thank you for saying Julia and I have a similar sense of humor. I take that as a lavish compliment, as she and I have been on the same recap team for a number of telenovelas now and her recaps always blow me away.
