Cuando Me Enamoro #31 Thursday 6/2/11 Food Flirtation, Familial Frustration, Women’s Intuition and Neighborly Competition
It wasn't a terribly exciting night tonight, just lots of build-up and stage-setting for things to come. Not to worry though, we still have plenty of love and evil bubbling away ready to boil over at any moment.
Last night poor Carlos got beat up by a couple of thugs. The padre carried him to Dr. Do-Little’s house where Carlos, thankfully shirtless, told the group that the thugs told him he has to learn who is the boss of Guadalupe Valley. Lazaro gives the doc his epic stink eye. Man I sure wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that one. Carlos and Lazaro know it was doc’s friend Augustin who arranged the attack on Carlos.
Via phone Jero explains to Nata that he and Regina are friends from way back. He thinks it’s cool she works at the center. Then he tells her that Fina came to see him at his place, she wanted to know his intentions. This shocks Nata. He tells her that although Fina has a strange way about her (that’s one way to put it) he thinks she loves Renata. Poor sap Renata sheds a happy tear at this thought.
Fina’s shady Licenciado calls and wants to meet her tomorrow to show her something very important. Roberta enters Fina’s room to find out what went down with Jero. Fina says Jero is pretty closed-mouth but he doesn’t suspect that they know about his brother. There is something about Jero that she doesn’t like but she doesn’t know what. Rob suggests it’s because he’s like his brother but worse and more experienced, a liar, cheat and two-faced. Then Rob goes on a tear that it’s obvious Jero and Rafa use the same MO. Clearly Renata and Rafa had something going on outside the office, in secret, before or at the same time Rafa was getting it on with Roberta. Fina actually looks skeptical but Rob’s on a roll. Rant rant rant why did he keep hiding me (wait, she’s the one who hid) and they even use the same words, “Bonita”.
Fina’s diabolical brain goes into overdrive, “Rafa never used your name?” Nope, he just always said Bonita and whenever Rob texted him or called him she was referred to as Bonita. Fina looks positively orgasmic at this revelation.
Carlos, all tucked in with Matilde tending him, calls Jero to tell him what happened. He's sure Augustin is behind his beating even though he went to the DF last night.
It’s morning in the DF and Jero sits in a hotel lobby suffering from earthquake leg. He sees Augustin, calls him over and accuses him of the attack on Carlos. Augie feigns innocence, he’s been in the DF since yesterday. Jero doesn’t hesitate for a moment, calls bulls**t on Augi and informs him that as of now he has no intention of selling him La Bonita now or ever. Ooh, big angry glare from Augie.
Let’s join Mexico’s least favorite couple, Dr. D and Kari, where she’s sharing her theory that Augi is behind Carlos’s thrashing. Doc gets all defensive and she accuses him of being afraid of Augi nor does she like doc spending so much time with him. Doc sneers, says he can take care of himself (anvil words) and tells her to take care of her own house and he’ll take care of his. Jerk.
Speaking of, Augustin is in a right snit at Jero’s proclamation. Jero would do this based on suspicion? They had an agreement and Jero gave his word. Puhleeze, says Jero, he’s a businessman and he’ll acknowledge the consequences of his actions. Based on Augie’s treatment of the workers and what happened to Carlos Jero won’t sell Rafa’s land to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Augie can think what he likes but the vineyards and La Bonita will NEVER belong to him!
Oh goodie, Carlos has his shirt off again. Matilde enthusiastically tortures him with some sort of painful cure. He gets a phone call that makes him happy and Mati teases that it’s his girlfriend. (Heh, nice subtle sleuthing there Mati.) Nope, it was Jero with the great news that he’s not going to sell the hacienda to Augustin el Guapo. She enthusiastically hugs him, ouch!!!. And if Carlos is in charge then he’ll need a title. How about...Carlos the Funny (Carlos el Chistoso)? He’s all “What? There is Augustin the Handsome, Jeronimo the Beautiful, and I get to be Carlos the Funny?” She thanks him for not making her work for Augustin and they gaze at each other in smitten goofiness.
Overa at Hate House Gonzo and Matias are on their way to work. Gonzo tells Fina they still have unfinished business and they need to talk. He’ll call later.
Honorio tells Coni and Nata over breakfast that he saw Agatha and she’s concerned about Adri being alone. He tells them he promised that they (he and Coni) would always be with Adri, which surprises Coni. After he leaves Coni tells Nata she thinks Honorio is too preoccupied with this business.
Now we get to see Adri eat breakfast. Mom tells her that Honorio came by and he really is a great guy. Adri tells her she had a great time with Matias. Agatha’s a little worried because he still loves Nata but Adri says it was just nice being with him and they like to hang out. Once she’s alone Agatha doubles over in pain.
Augie calls Doc D with instructions to get to the notary ASAP because Jero the imbecile wants to renege on their deal. Doc’s bummed to hear the news because that messes up his own plans to be a partner with Augie (and no doubt his plans to see Alfonsina every day). Augie accuses doc of being short sighted. In the long term La Bonita WILL be his, now go to Ensenada, get a notary, and figure out how to squeeze everything they can out of Jero for breaking their agreement. It had better be a fortune and it had better happen fast!
Doc doesn’t want to get in the middle because he’ll likely have to deal with Jero in the future. Augie reminds him about the drunken night when Rafa died. Doc will side with Augie or Jero will find out everything. Way to take care of yourself doc.
Everyone’s eating breakfast today. Now it’s Fina with her Lapdog Licenciado and he’s got bad news for her. Looks like hub's been seen with Regina Soberon. Fina puts on her hangdog mask and sighs how sad it is that all their years of marriage mean nothing to her husband. He says he caught Gonzo having a meal with Regina; Inez and Coni were there too. (Sheesh, hardly an affair.) Then El Lic says they were together when Gonzo made a donation, then one night he saw them...alone. He whips out his photos and Fina cusses them out.
Regina and Cata stand in the Regina Hope garden and admire Renata’s way with the clients. Cata warns Regina not to lose objectivity; she doesn’t want Regina to suffer when Renata goes on her way.
Cut to Renata’s current charge, a frail-looking wisp of a woman who has no self worth. Nata advises her that the center will help her find work and be productive so she can support herself and her baby.
Uh oh, Augustin has made his way to Empresas Monterrubio and he has an audience with Gonzo. I hope he doesn’t say anything about Jero. For now he’s preoccupied with Nata; he REALLY wants her involved in their contract. Gonzo confirms that Nata left for personal reasons that had nothing to do with her exemplary work ethic. Sorry, no chance of her returning in the near future. Gonzo himself will handle Augi’s biz. Augi presses, his relationship with Nata was slightly more than business, they were developing a great friendship, ahem, that he would like to continue and he needs her number. Gonzo sternly says that’s her business and he won’t give out her personal info. He’ll give Augi’s info to Nata and IF she wants she can contact him.
Nata and Regina are having a one-on-one in the RH garden. In fact Nata’s in the middle of telling Regina that her own mother was abandoned when Jero sneaks up with a bouquet of flowers and an invitation to eat. How cute, he’s got three bouquets, one each for Nata, Regina and Cata. Cata calls him an incorrigible seductor and Nata feigns shock.
Over at La Bonita Matilde continues her cures of pain. This time it’s tea to help inflammation served with a smack on the arm. Apparently the tea tastes like crap. Lazaro shows up with some papers that shock Carlos. Sounds like it’s the penalty from Augi’s notary. Carlos knew that they would pay some sort of penalty fee but this is madness! Augi’s a thief but he might be within his rights. If Jero agrees to pay it will be the worst business decision of his life. Mati says these lands are priceless. “To us,” adds Lazaro, who sees that Jero’s hands are tied. Mati flings down her worst insult, calling Augie el EX Guapo.
There is a meeting going on at Empresas Monterrubio but Honorio’s mind wanders back to Agatha’s words, Adri is his daughter. He stares at Adri and thought bubbles that she’s his daughter and he can’t say a word or hug her. Back on earth Gonzo discusses that with Renata gone they need to strengthen the marketing department; they need a Marketing Director with vast experience. I wonder who that’s going to be?
Over at Hate House Fina glares at the photos, shoves them in her purse and slithers out to meet Gonzo for lunch.
Chema arrives at Regina’s Hope. Coni tells him it’s been days since she’s seen him. They plan to meet later that afternoon; I think he's going to take her jam-making class.
Matias sees Honorio in the hall and asks him how his visit with Agatha went. Honorio says some very serious stuff went down. Matias suggests they go to lunch and talk.
Gonzo has rendezvoused with Fina and he gets right to the point. He wants a divorce. She accuses him of loving someone else. No, he claims, it’s not for another but for himself. He doesn’t want a partnership without love. She says she’ll give him a divorce if he wants but please don’t lie to her. She whips out the photos of him and Regina when they accidentally ran into each other. They’re proof that he’s seeing another woman. He looks completely guilty and busted as the music crescendos.
Guess where Roberta and Selene are? Yep. Roberta asks if she looks fat. Oh brother. Then she gripes about Renata likely having it off with Rafa, just another reason to hate her. She asks Sele about the guy that Sele likes. Sele says it's gone nowhere. Roberta jumps up and approaches a group of guys for someone’s phone number which annoys Sele.
At least Gonzo defends himself and wonders where she got the photos. He ran into Regina who was at the restaurant to meet her fiance. Fina has seen the way Gonzo looks at Regina and heard the way he speaks about her, he’s leaving Fina for her. Gonzo denies it, their problems started long before he ever met Regina. Fina claims that women have a sixth sense about these things. Shoot, the way he trips over his tongue every time he sees Regina doesn’t take a sixth sense, but OK. She loves Gonzo and would do anything to keep his love blah blah blah she is saccharin sweet, the faker. Gonzo says he feels terrible but he’s made up his mind. She goes all pathetic martyr on him. He gives his word that he won’t abandon her or the girls. He’ll leave her the house, a generous pension and his unconditional support. She thanks him and says she’d better leave, but we know that won’t be enough for our little demon mother. She never did answer his question of where she got the photos.
It looks like Roberta got somebody’s number and that somebody is Chema. Ha, didn’t I say Sele was checking out His Hawtness? Anyway, he agrees to meet her at 9:00 that night. Coni hears the end of the conversation and teases him about being a heartbreaker. Oh no, we’re just friends, he says. She teases and squeezes his cheek which seems to bug him a little.
Rob teases Sele and immediately turns the conversation back to herself as usual, this time how she and Rafa hooked up. This chick is really annoying me with her ego-maniacal one-dimensional personality.
Gonzo calls Renata, he has a lot of things to tell her. Can he meet her at Coni’s house tonight? He mentions that Augie came by and wanted her contact info. Nata looks suspicious.
Regina tells Jero that her intuition tells her Nata’s a good kid. Regina likes Jero but she doesn’t want to be an accomplice to his lies. Hooray! Common sense.
More eating, this time Honorio and Matias are at lunch. Honorio asks Matias about Adriana. Matias says he was feeling bad and she cheered him up, she’s pretty and sensitive. Why, what’s up? Honorio is about to burst and has to share some info with someone. “I am Adriana’s father.”
Segue to Adriana who has joined Nata and the others. Jero kisses them all goodbye, Nata blows kisses, the ladies hug, etc. Regina wants Adri to come by whenever she likes because she enjoys being around her.
Cara impactada de Matias. He swears not to say a thing about Adri being Honorio’s daughter. Honorio frets about Coni’s reaction when she finds out. Matias reassures him that she’ll come around. I’ve been wondering about Mr. Inappropriate for this episode and I think Honorio’s decision to NOT tell Coni this important piece of news is very inappropriate. The longer you wait the harder it gets.
Food Flirtation montage of Coni teaching Chema to cook. Lots of tasting things off of each other’s fingers, feeding each other stuff, teasing each other with food, and Chema gazing longingly at Coni. Hmmm...inappropriate?
Adri wants to talk to Renata about her (Adri’s) relationship with Matias. Adri beats around the bush, says she’s getting closer to Matias, uh, errr. Nata helps out; does Adri think Nata and Matias might have a future? Absolutely not, reassures Nata. The BFFs nod in agreement.
Carlos calls Jero to fill him in on the crazy penalty and the deadline which is tomorrow. (Doesn’t make sense to me since everything else in those parts seems to move so slowly.) Carlos points out that Augie is a man who doesn’t know how to lose. Jero says he’s going to come to La Bonita right away and face Augustin. He calls Renata and tells her he’s got to leave immediately, trouble in the country, doesn’t know when he’ll be back, love you mi amor.
Roberta joins Fina somewhere, the club or their ritzy back yard, griping that she wants to go to shopping in New York as a distraction. Fina throws down The Photos and gives Rob the 411 on dad. He wants a divorce. Rob turns it back to herself, she doesn’t want to be left alone with this business about Matias and the baby. After all she went through, sleeping with Matias so Gonzo wouldn’t divorce Fina. Fina tells Rob to trust her.
Gonzo fills Honorio and Matias in on his divorce plans. Phone rings and it’s Licenciado Anibal Lara there to discuss his son Diego.
Renata hooks up with Augustin at some restaurant. He was surprised to hear she left the company, why? Well...she fell in love. The idiot smiles, still thinks it’s him. It was enough to make her leave? She hems a bit, actually....it’s because she fell in love with one of her brother’s best friends. Oopsie, bad news for Augie and he’s taken aback. Clueless to his off-the-wall assumption she cheerfully babbles, Yeah yeah she knows, she felt bad but it’s the greatest love of her life. She blathers on that of course it’s not news to him because he was already aware that she was in love. Augie maintains his composure but his eyes look royally pithed off and he thought bubbles that he wasn’t aware of any such thing.
The Monterrubio tribunal of Gonzo, Honorio and Matias tell Anibal Lara that they don’t plan to press charges against Diego but they want Diego to take responsibility and clear Renata’s name. Anibal seems like a decent guy and gives his word it will be so.
Fina is in a doctor’s office telling him if he does what she just explained he’ll have work for the rest of his life? Or he won’t have to work the rest of his life? She gives her Sweety-Nasty smile that gives me nightmares. Oh dear, yet another doctor portrayed as a weak sell-out. How inappropriate.
Mañana - Fina tells Renata that Gonzo dumped her for Regina. Renata confronts Regina. It appears as if Fina attempts suicide.
Dicho of the Day:
No hay milpa sin cuitlacoche = As good as a person may seem to be, they have their faults. (Lit. you can’t have a corn field without cuitlacoche. Oddly, cuitlacoche is a corn fungus that can be a plague, although nowadays it is an expensive commodity like truffles. Go figure.)
Last night poor Carlos got beat up by a couple of thugs. The padre carried him to Dr. Do-Little’s house where Carlos, thankfully shirtless, told the group that the thugs told him he has to learn who is the boss of Guadalupe Valley.

Good morning, Sylvia. Where is everyone? Another great recap... very entertaining though not many candidates for Mr. I. I'm liking Chema... what kind of jam making class was that? Where were the other students? Chema... go out with Selene... she's more your age. Coni's married. Hear that, Coni? You're married.
I don't know if it's Mr. I.-worthy, but what is Jerry doing signing papers without reading them? I thought that he is a sophisticated businessman.
My favorite line is about my favorite scene with my favorite couple:
"they gaze at each other in smitten goofiness."
This is a relationship that feels right.

Hi Carlos, is it just you and me sharing coffee this morning? Well, tea in my case.
Yes, quite the interesting jam class. I wonder what the green jam was? It reminded me of some jam my grandmother used to make out of something she called Ground Cherries, but they were green so I'm thinking they might have been tomatillos. It was a long time ago but was the only green jam I recall.
Good point about Jero signing unread papers. This thing about a huge penalty with a short deadline just doesn't make sense to me. Everything else they've done takes a few weeks minimum. Now all of a sudden there's a fire under them? I had to go through customs and register my boat in Ensenada. Trust me, bureaucracy does NOT move fast there, even with bribes. Has Jero called his lawyer Isidro? Where is he in all this?
At least Jero is off to the country where hopefully we will see more vineyards and flirty fun between Carlos2 and Matilde.

Good morning Sylvia and Carlos.
So-so episode, fun recap. Loved the "suffering from earthquake leg". Is that terminal leg jiggle? Mine is always jiggling. Has been ever since 4th grade. Please tell me it doesn't mean I'm a pathological nutcase terminal neurotic.
Also got a kick out of (Alfonsina) "slithers out to meet Gonzo for lunch" and (Augustin) "his eyes look royally pithed off".
Ah, ever since Carlos introduced the "p" word, we've had such fun with it.
I thought the food-making/tasting scenes were super-sexy. Waaay hot. Reminded me of those old mutual feeding scenes in the sixties movie Tom Jones. Yowza. When Chema sucked some jam off Connie's finger, I almost lost it. If it had gone the other way, I definitely would have. Smokin' hawt scene. Absolutely.
Now...where was I?
Happy Friday everyone.
Carlos, I'm gazing at Bonnie Belle who's looking wistful and thoughtful herself, by some little kind of fish pond? in your backyard. Maybe she's wishing she had some jam too. Or at least a loving doggie treat. Nice picture.

Oh good, JudyB joined us. Yep, earthquake leg is the terminal leg jiggle. I don't know what they call it elsewhere but out here in earthquake country the description seems to fit.
Most definitely the "p" word is destined for infamy. How lucky for us that there are a couple of Spaniards in the story to lend authenticity to it.

Great recap, very thorough.
Looked like more filler to me. We get the tease about an FFS...Fina fake suicide... coming soon. Are the writers shifting gears and putting the action at La Bonita, where the intrepid couple of Jero and Nata have gathered a whole host of enemies? Can't wait for Auggie to discover that Jero is the love of Nata's life...that ought to be good.

Thanks, Sylvia, for this rapid-fire, fun-ny cap of an episode I mainly looked at only due to a phone call and loudly-popping frying chiken. A few faves:
Fina looks positively orgasmic at this revelation.
Oh goodie, Carlos has his shirt off again.
smitten goofiness
slithers out to meet Gonzo for lunch.
"Once she’s alone Agata doubles over in pain": I know it wasn't supposed to be, but when she split second switched over to agony I burst out laughing, I don't know, seemed like a scene from a Carol Burnette soap opera parody!
"Honorio’s decision to NOT tell Coni this important piece of news is very inappropriate": ITA!
"Chema gazing longingly at Coni. Hmmm...inappropriate?" I DO NOT like this story line. I ain't got nothin' against cougarism per se, but Coni is NOT the right target for these affections. Let Chema go play with somebody his own age. Sheesh!
Thanks again, Sylvia. I hope Renata doesn't remain pissed at Regina too long. . .hey, why would she believe those pictures or any-thing her "mother" is connected to?

Sylvia--I'm here, too. Terrific work. I could replay the whole hour in my head, just by reading the recap.
You'll have to tell me, though--what is an earthquake leg? Am I too old, not hip enough to have missed this little gem?
Up to now, this has been a logically-driven, intelligently written script. No nonsense. Now are we going to get into Eva Lunacy with poisonings and Fina (aka D. Marcela) being in cahoots with doctors and promoting fake suicides? I'm disappointed they couldn't have thought up a different crisis for Fina to have.
Mr. I--Not Poor Honorio--he just got the news about Adri (P.S. Sylvia--change the names on the recap--we all know Adri is not Honorio's dad) and he's processing it fairly thoughtfully--like discussing it with Mat even though Aggie didn't want him to tell anybody. He needs a sounding board. I think he'll end up telling Coni.
Mr. I--my vote goes to Jero, but then he's going to have to wear that label for some time, I fear, for NOT telling Ren the whole story. Ya, ya, he's waiting for the right moment and he wants her to tell him first that she had a compromiso with Rafa. Not a good excuse. She answered his question, so go with it.
However--there WAS something inappropriate about the jam-making food fest. What were they thinking? This is not junior high school.
Dr. Do-Little, I love it. Tell me, is that the best the hair and wig dept. could come up with for the Dr's hairpiece? It's so bad it isn't even good. Since bald (and balding) can be beautiful, why not let him show his receeding hairline. Either that or he should wear his hat all the time, inside and outside, a la Cruz. Ok, that's my rant.

Good morning amigos y amigas.
A in B, I am counting the seconds until Augie finds out Jero is Renata's true love. His head was about to explode anyway, not to mention it will be his mortal enemy once again thwarting his plans. All in all Augustin did not have a good day in the DF.
Khalilah, frying chicken? Now you're making me hungry and I just finished by breakfast of rice cake, peanut butter and apple. How boring. I don't blame you for laughing at Agatha's painful clutch because it's weird how she can be so lah-dee-dah one second and then in excruciating pain the next.
Newbie, earthquake leg is when someone nervously shakes their leg and everyone else at the table or on the couch can feel it. Jero was on edge while waiting for Augi and his leg was causing an earthquake in the lobby. No, you are not old or unhip, it's just a thing that my friends and I have said forever.
Thanks for the heads up about me writing that Adri was Hon's dad instead of daughter. Gah! I even proofread a couple of times before posting! Thanks for keeping me honest.
The doc's wig is so bad that every time I see him it cracks me up. And he is the guy that Alfonsina has a crush on? I don't buy it.

Love that Carlos is our first commentor! Was running through the recaps this morning (Teresa first) and realized I was running late for work...so could't get on until now.
LOVE Carlos and Mathilde. She wasn't my fav at first, but her feistiness with Augie and how she interacts with Carlos are priceless. (And I could take a few more of those shirtless moments.)
Mr I today - tough one. Jero was just too darn adorable for me with his sneaking up on Nata, the flowers and then getting into Augie's face.
I would give it to the sellout Doctor, but he hasn't officially sold out yet, so we'll back-burner him until Monday.
So I guess that leaves Honorio - and keeping in mind Judy 's great standards - since he IS a standup guy, the fact he isn't telling Connie about Adri is NOT cool. We know where that will lead.
And we know there's a little stud muffin to go with the jam just waiting in the wings. My, that poor boy has it bad for Connie - could he have looked anymore wistful as she left?
Fina fakes suicide--heaven help me if Gonzo gets all guilty over that. Nata should just back out slowely towards the door....but then again we wouldn'y have a show.

Sylvia--Like I said before, I only want to fix things for posterity. I'm now watching Manana es Para Siempre and reading the recaps and comments for the first time (also doing Alborada the same way) has been great.
Earthquake leg--that's good. My legs are in constant motion when I'm just sitting there watching tv.
Speaking of legs--then travel on down to shoes. Did anyone else notice that Jero's shoe size is oversized? When he and Ren were talking after their visit to Gitana, his shoes reminded me of the elf shoes at Fer's TDA wedding reception entertainment (it engendered a lengthy discussion). Afraid I'll have to check out his shoes from now on.

Hello, all. I'm finally watching this show as it happens. I'm enjoying most of it but Fina seems like such a broken record to me. Is it just me or is there not much dimension to her character. She's hard to watch. Fedra Curiel was at least funny while being evil.
QTH with the jam class? How could Coni possibly not realize how inappropriate that was? The only green jam I've ever seen was jalapeño.
Carlos and Matilde are my favorites. Are they the only couple (or almost-couple) who aren't keeping deep dark secrets or harboring suspicions about each other? How long can that last?

I didn't notice Jero's shoe size, I'll have to keep my eyes open. Hope I don't become obsessed.
Daisy, stud muffin to go with the jam, LOL! Oh my, I wish I'd thought of that one, it's positively brilliant.
Julia, alas Fina is a bit of a drip compared to our Fedra. She's bad and she's worse but she absolutely lacks the pizazz that our Fedra had. Although Fedra was bad bad bad she had a lust for life. She was bad, sensual, funny, ingenuous, scheming, and somewhat uneducated and not-too-bright. Fina's smarter, but she did manage to slice her leg while stabbing Regina.

Thanks for the stellar recap Sylvia.
I'm with Judy. I loved the sexy jam-making. Poor Chema is a goner, but Connie doesn't seem to realize that she's flirting with him and vice versa. Surely, the eventual (hopefully soon) revelation of Hon's daughter won't push her into the arms of our young stud muffin. It's not like Hon cheated on her.
Poor Selene doesn't realize that she's competing with a woman who could be her mother. Wait till she finds out. She'll be as pithed as Augie when he found out Nata loves someone else. I loved the look on his face! Oh, this is going to be GOOD when he finds out it's Jero. Stealing his lands AND his woman.

Vivi:
"Oh, this is going to be GOOD..."
I totally agree. I had thought that Renata might go to work for Augie, but looks like little chance of that happening. She's going to have to choose sides and as things are now, I'm betting on Jerry.
Sylvia,
Fina seems pitiful compared to Fedra. Fedra had a great knack for manipulating and controlling people... Fedra had a way of controlling the situation... Fedra could even be lovable... Fina... not... poor thing just seems to be trying desperately not to fall off.
Does anyone believe that Chema really wants to learn how to make jam?
Carlos

Oh, I enjoyed the jam session as well. Only bad part is that she's married. But she really doesn't seem to see how into her Chema is and that she's encouraging him. He looked pretty funny at the end, making puppy dog eyes with jam still smeared on his mouth, looking like he wanted her to lick it off.
I think Chema wants some sugar in whatever form.

Ooooh! Good one, Judy! Carlos, I think Chema wants TO JAM with Coni. Come on, Coni, can't you see what's up? Hon just recently got distracted, until two days ago I know he's been attentive and takin' care of bidniz.. . .

Another wonderfully entertaining recap of a pretty mellow episode. Thanks, Sylvia!
I have to agree that the jam class was the highlight of the episode. Very fun and sexy. Would have been a perfect montage for the song "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Julia, I think you're right about Coni being (selectively?) oblivious to just how far gone Chema is. LMAO at the end scene with Chema's puppy-dog eyes and jam-mouth. He totally looks like he wishes Coni would kiss the jam off.

JAM Session! You guys are killing me. Little dude's definitely got a sweet tooth, that's for sure.
Funny how Jero took cooking lessons and now Chema took a canning class. I wonder who the next culinary student will be?
Fedra vs Fina: Fedra would probably be fun to party with. Her malapropisms alone could entertain me. It wouldn't even enter my mind to socialize with Fina.

I'm all for these men cooking in the kitchen!! Nice change from always having the women cooking up the viddles...
As for Jero's shoes - okay now you have me set up to be staring at sidewalks tonight. But I'm wondering if he's wearing those new elongated toes that are -hate to say-fashionable right now. I work with a very fashion-forward young man in my office (he and his girlfriend always look like Vogue poster children) and he wears those ridiculous elongated shoes. when he slipped out of the shoe once at a meeting, I swear the toes were three inches longer than his actual foot size. Personally they remind me of clown shoes - but he swears they are all the "rage".

I'd choose Fedra over Fina any day. Can you imagine Fina at La Mala Noche doing a "dance" for the customers?
Vivi, NO.
I love the grape stomping at the beginning of the episode. I usually watch it instead of fast forwarding through it. Everyone looks beautiful and happy. It's silly to wear white to a grape stomping but what the heck.

Great recap Sylvia! Dr. Do-little LOL! Perfect! And earthquake leg? LOL! I'll have to use that one.
I'm finding the plot twists intriguing. Seems like a lot going on. So glad to see Agustin get his comeuppance, twice! But we know it's too early to be lasting, however he is already going to go into villano overdrive? As guapo as he is, that man is downright scary when he juts his jaw out and bars his lower teeth - he looks like a great white shark, and we know they patrol the cold Pacific waters off the coast of northern Baja California.
I've been on a boat that docked and registered in the port of Ensenada too. It's quite a spectacular bay to enter by boat. So what kind of boat were you captaining Sylvia?

Yes, it is a spectacular bay and Ensenada is a fun town. We sailed down from San Francisco on a boat called a Schumacher 52'. It was a very comfortable ride and we had a perfect weather window. We went down in one straight shot. What type of boat were you on?
Sylvia, Sorry to chime in so late but it has been a day full of unexpected interruptions and getting nothing done. Cisco the big poodle best friend of Willa arrived and it is hilarious to see Willa get up from feeling so tired from her tooth extraction, growling and jumping for one minute then falling back down to rest up for the next burst of energy. Cisco bears it all so patiently.
Your recap is so hilarious from earthquake leg to Dr. Do-Little. The jam session was fun in a pathetic sort of way. Chema does need someone his own age and Constanza didn't seem like the type to get all jealous and inrrational but as the plot goes so go our hopes for rational characters. Thank you so much for a great recap.

We were on a 88' long range fishing vessel which converts to a whale watching tour boat in the spring. We sailed from San Diego and spent 12 days whale watching and wildlife viewing down the Baja California pacific coast and into the Sea of Cortez. Disembarked at Cabo San Lucas. We saw loads of whales, including several blue whales who are almost as long as the boat! The whole trip was just incredible, and what a way to see Baja California even though we didn't leave the boat to visit any towns until the end. We only got off at offshore islands and remote fishing villages, so we didn't go through customs until the very end.
Here is the boat: http://www.hmlanding.com/boats/spirit.htm The tour we were on was chartered by the Oceanic Society.

Hi Cheryl, I'm glad to hear Willa is feeling better, or at least putting on a good front for Cisco.
I don't really have a problem with Chema having a crush on an older woman. Coni is incredibly attractive and, IMHO, much sexier than immature Roberta and Selene who act like a couple of waste products. It's just that Coni is married, that's the turnoff for me.
I'm hoping that Selene will spend more time away from Roberta. One thing I didn't put in the recap was at one point I think Roberta complained that she couldn't get Rafa, Jero or Matias. Sele told her getting them wasn't the problem, keeping them was. Roberta walked off in a huff which made Sele smile.

Audrey, that sounds like a fantastic trip and what a cool boat! We didn't see any whales on our trip down. We saw some dolphins, that was it. I've seen loads of gray whales and sperm whales while sailing off the California coast but I have never in my life seen a blue whale. That's very exciting. I think visiting islands and remote fishing villages would be a lot more fun that going to the regular tourist stops. Especially on a boat like the Spirit of Adventure which seems very well outfitted. I would like to do a wildlife trip like that someday.
Here is the boat we went down on:
Cinnabar
Her name is no longer California Girl and the weird graphics on the hull is gone. Her current name is Cinnabar and she's back in California.

Sylvia, it may be too late for you to see this but when I was in Oaxaca last winter my landlady, a woman from the farmland of the midwest, she introduced me to the corn fungus that is served up proudly as one favored ingredient in tacos or tostados, i.e., anything you can surround a tortilla with. The name is nauseating but the stuff is tasty. Cuitlacoche sounds nicer than fungus but then mushrooms, truffles and lots of delicacies are in the same family.
Cheryl, lucky you! I've never had fresh huitlacoche. When I went to Guanajuato a couple of years ago I tried to hit the rainy season but alas, the last of the fresh huitlacoche was gone before I arrived. Maybe someday. I enjoyed your story; thank you for sharing.
great recap. Loved the Dr-Dolittle and Jam session...
I agree I dont have that much trouble with Chema and Connie except for the fact that she is married... she sure does look good for her age...
regarding Fina vs Fedra... I wish Azela Robinson won the TN award as Fedra, but Rocio B won it for Fina... I agree with the other commenters that Fedra is a much more interesting, fun and unpredictable character to watch.

And I also agree that it is odd that Jero did not pay attention to the small print in the contract, but with his state of mind and emotional bottoming that he was doing at the time, I am not so surprised... i wish someone kept a copy of the original... even if it was a high amount to begin with it would have been binding and Augie would be on the losing end... But maybe they can get AUgie indirectly for his staff beating up Carlos... even though there are no witnesses and that makes it tough.
Dro Do-little... he better stay off the animals.. the way he is doing lately, instead of talking back to him they might target him to give him some of the naturally rich 'fertilizer' right in his hands/face.
