Cuando Me Enamoro #129 Wednesday 10/19/11 Nesme Returns from the Dead, But it is Kari Who Has Come to Life
Hey all. I’m happy to be your guest recapper tonight and will try to give you some dialogue, since the fabulous Marta usually spoils us by detailing the conversations.
We come back to our main couple who continue the shocking trend of being absolutely open and honest with each other. Gasp! Jero has just told Nata that not only is Dr. AboutToCauseSomeMajorGrief NOT dead, but Augie was the one who tried to do them all a favor by ordering the prison hit.
J: “Someone” gave the order to kill Nesme in prison.
R: Qué?! Who?
J: No, no. It’s better that I don’t tell you because you’re just going to get angry.
R: Tell me already!
J: Fine. It was Dunant. Agustín Dunant.
R: (totally impactada) What?! You’re saying that Augie is a murderer Jero.
J: He doesn’t do the killing. He sends people to do the killing. But it’s the same thing.
R: No. Wait. You can’t go believing 100% in the words of a delinquent like Nesme. And I’m sure he’s the one who told you Augie put the hit on him. Well then! Come on!
J: But he doesn’t have a reason to lie.
R: Come on Jero! He did it so that you would do exactly what you’re doing now—protecting him.
Jero explains that Nesme and Augie were accomplices and that’s why Augie tried to get rid of him. He explains further about the vine cutting from the La Bonita mother vine that Augie stole with Nesme’s help. Nata has almost as much trouble wrapping her head around why Augie would want to steal such a thing as we did, when he has plenty of his own lovely grapes (because he wants the super duper Rafa grape and doesn’t want to have to do business with Jero to get it), much less why he would kill someone over a mere plant! Jero assures her that Augie is capable of something so horrible, and much more. This is not computing with Nata since the person he is describing is some sort of demon, and Augie has only ever behaved like an angel with her. That’s the kind of two-faced monster he is, says Jero. He makes Nata promise not to reveal to Augie that Nesme is still all too alive. Although she’s still not quite believing all of this, Nata assures him she would never betray his confidence that way. Jero just wants Augie out of their lives for good. To make sure neither of them walks away angry and they’re still good, Nata and Jero hug it out and he tells her he loves her. She still looks dubious. He looks worried.
The next morning, Matilde shows the mother-in-law from Mierda…oops, Mérida, the house she and Carlos will move into once married. She turns her nose up at it since it does NOT reflect in any way the god-like personality of her son, nor the wife of said god. Trying out her role of the “good nuera”, Mati asks just what is this new personality she must take on to be worthy of the blonde curly-haired god named Carlos Estrada? Mama Mierda (MM)…oops, Mérida, looks Mati up and down and tells her they must first start to transform Mati herself to be worthy, before they can transform the house. They head out to shop.
Carlos is telling Jero of the miracle of his mama’s appearance and acceptance of Mati. Happy (likely short-lived) slaps on the back. Then Jero tells Carlos about Nesme’s crazy idea that Jero was going to help get him his “get out of jail free” card. In fact, Jero is going to see the prison director, who is in town, and make sure that’s where Nesme is headed back. Carlos lets Jero know that Kari now knows the truth. Jero will speak to her. He’ll explain what happened, and that it wasn’t Lazaro’s fault. “They don’t deserve this!” (No se merecen esto!)
Gonzo and Gina arrive at Hon and Con’s house to tell them Gina has filed charges against Pepa/Fina. They hope that by the time they come back from honeymoon, the Pepafina monster will be in jail. Hon and Con change the conversation to a happier subject. They’re having a dinner that night to celebrate Adri officially becoming his daughter. It’s a surprise for Adri. Gina knows how much it must mean to Hon. She would also like Roberta to officially take her name and her late husband’s, if Gonzo doesn’t mind. Gonzo does not mind at all. The men happily head off to the office with Gina in tow.
Nata and Jero visit Alfi and the adorable baby Luz Maria. (I still haven’t quite forgiven Alfi for the crack yesterday about a baby uniting two people 4-EVAH to Nata.) Kari looks on sadly. Jero and Nata ask to speak to her about Dr.NotDeadEnough.
Laz is complaining to Carlos that because he told her the truth, Kari’s now mad at the whole world, and not just at him. Carlos says to give her time. But Laz doesn’t think he has time to spare. He’s desperate.
Jero tries to get out of the dog house with Kari, while Renata looks on, by explaining how he got pulled into this whole thing.
K: Oh, I understand Don Jerónimo. But who understands ME?
R: Kari, I understand that you’re angry. And that you have a lot of rage because everyone made decisions for you. But what’s done is done, and now you have two options.
K: What options?
R: Become bitter and do nothing, or take advantage of all of this.
K: And what good could any of this be?
R: Look. Everyone else decided for you, right? Well, now you decide. What do you want to do with your life? You are free. Legally, you’re a widow. What do you want to do with your life? You can do what you want with it Kari. You are no longer the wife of Alvaro Nesme, and you will NEVER be again, even though he’s alive. (Is a light bulb starting to go on over Kari’s head?!)
Adri and Matias arrive home smooching as Connie and the maid set the table for the special surprise dinner for Adri. They are amazed by how much more healthy Connie seems. Connie refuses to spill the reason for the dinner. Matias hints that he and Adri have a surprise for them too, as Adri tries to hide her HUGE engagement ring. They won’t spill the soup either about their surprise.
At the Center, Chema gets a call from Hit&Run Sister, aka Julieta. He actually remembers who she is! She’s checking to see how he is because at the end of partying last night, he didn’t seem to know who she was anymore. (She’s being a WAY better friend than his other friends, and she’s known him for less than a day.) Chema’s surprised he was that drunk. He invites her out to a coffee. His imaginary girlfriend won’t mind.
As they walk through town near the church, Jero notes something odd about Nata. She’s being quiet and seems pensive. The ringing church bells seem to have reminded her of the annulment of their religious marriage that she requested. She’s been thinking that since things are good between them, they are together, and they’ve realized the things that separated them were the fault of the intrigues of others, then there’s no point in going through with the religious annulment.
J: (smiling) Are you being serious?
R: Of course I’m serious. I’m not sure what’s happening with it, but I’m going to cancel it.
J: Thank you so much my love! (kisses her hand) This makes me so happy. I want to be with you the rest of my life. Till death us do part.
R: We’re going to continue to be married, before God AND man. (dramatically sweeps her arm out)
J: (looking at her like she’s a bit loony) There’s a part that I don’t understand.
R: What don’t you understand?
J: Then we’d have to have another civil wedding.
R: (flirtatiously) You don’t say! Well then, let’s get married again!
J: But in La Bonita. Not in the city.
R: I think that’s a great idea. But I don’t feel like I’ve gotten a proposal. I want a real proposal. Something that makes me feel that you love me…
J: You don’t know what kind of (amazing) marriage proposal I’m going to make you. With little freckles (pequitas) and all.
All this flirting leads to kisses, giggles and te amos. They separate so that Jero can go talk to the prison director and Nata can head home to La Bonita.
Mati and MM return to the little house with a ton of shopping bags. MM pulls out one of the very un-Mati-like outfits and says she will transform Mati into one of the Spanish socialites Carlos supposedly was into when he lived there. (Then why didn’t he stay and marry someone there? Hmm?) Mati wonders if Carlos will actually like her in those form fitting clothes, and has little faith in her abilities to walk in the sky high stilettos MM picked out. MM will teach her. MM claims she’s not a buttinsky suegra. She’s just looking out for the well-being of her children. Mati still looks pretty game and excited to give this a try.
Jero meets with the prison director, who is huge! The director wants an update on Nesme’s health (shouldn’t he know?). They’ve got his new identity and prison transfer all ready to go.
Unfortunately, Nesme isn’t on board with this go back to jail plan, and is lying in wait behind the door of his hospital room. He attacks the attending doctor that had been so nice to him, and steals his jacket, shoes, and keys! He then makes a run for it through the gates and lunges under a parked SUV. (I never knew the guy was so athletic.) He makes a run for it, vaulting over the car barrier, when the coast is clear. A nurse finds the good doctor on the floor, thankfully alive.
Jero and the Director continue to talk about the case when the Director gets a call. Nesme has escaped! They’re beginning a manhunt.
Happy Nata returns to La Bonita and compliments Manuela on how nice she keeps the hacienda. Manuela thinks the change in the house is due to Nata’s return. She always knew Jero and Nata’s love with triumph over everything. Nata admits Manuela has always been on Team Nata-Jero and offers her a bite of her cookie as thanks. LOL! They are interrupted by a call from Jero. He doesn’t waste time telling Nata to immediately get Laz and then get Kari to La Bonita, ASAP! Nata also wastes no time trying to get the details. She runs out to do exactly what Jero ordered, knowing it must be serious.
Berta slinks into Gina’s home office, in her skin tight jeans, wanting to know where Gina’s been. Around and at the center, where she’s leaving things in Inez’s hands while she’s on her honeymoon. Gina tells Berta about the dinner for Adri and invites her. “Thanks. We’ll see.” Gina hands Berta her “real” birth certificate. She wants Berta to go back to being Regina Gamba Soberon. “What do you think?” Berta looks less than thrilled. She tries to stall by saying it would be too problematic to change her name. But she does ask if it will affect her being able to get her inheritance if she remains Roberta. (Gina should see the writing on the wall about where Berta’s priorities lie.) When Gina suggests she might want to share the inheritance with her sister, Berta is quick to say NO…She doesn’t think Nata will need it. She’s going to get the house from Gonzo and she has a rich husband. It looks like some light bulbs are finally going on over Gina’s head, so Berta distracts her by saying she just might take back her real name after all. This gets a tepid smile out of Gina.
Isidro hands Inez the official registration for her cancer foundation, Nadie se Rinde. She is extremely happy and they hug. They are sure Andresito (who is off filming his other tn) will be happiest of all!
Chema’s chopping veggies when Adri arrives. “Hello my love!” She avoids his kiss, and tells him for the nth time that she has broken up with him. He has NO idea what she’s talking about. I feel like we’re in the middle of the movie Groundhog’s Day as Adri once again tells Chema she love Matias, and he once again good naturedly accepts it (albeit with a totally confused look on his face). His eyes fill with tears, AGAIN. (Aww! Poor guy.) Adri wonders if he really doesn’t remember, or doesn’t WANT to remember. He doesn’t understand why she is telling him that they have had this conversation before. She tells him he has to see a doctor because this isn’t normal. He agrees.
At Empresas Monterrubio, the MR men (plus Hon) are happy things went so well at the conference, and are going so well for the business. Hon wants to know how things went between his daughter and Matias. Matias is all smiles, but cagey about the surprise in store for them that night. Adri calls him and tells him of her worries about Chema.
Nata begs Kari to trust her and come with her and Laz to La Bonita. She comes, but only because Nata asked.
Down by the waterfront, Nesme outruns the cops and hops on a small boat.
Jero and Carlos have some tea to calm their nerves as they talk about the scorpion (alacran) that is Nesme. Jero blames himself, but Carlos thinks he probably would have done the same thing had he been in Jero’s shoes. Kari, Nata and Laz arrive and Jero breaks the news of Nesme’s escape to everyone. He wants Kari to stay in La Bonita under their protection until he’s found. Jero is pretty sure that Nesme will try to kidnap Kari. Even Manuela has to curse at this news. “All he wants is to destroy Kari’s life.” Kari is panicky. “I don’t want to see him again!” Laz is going to watch over Kari day and night to make sure that doesn’t happen.
The police continue their search of the docks. Nesme crouches down in the boat, unties it, starts it up, and escapes before the cops can shoot.
The conference at La Bonita continues. It seems Kari will now be the one imprisoned, in La Bonita, until Nesme is found. Nata tries to comfort Kari, but the call Jero gets about Nesme escaping in the boat breaks everyone’s calm. Kari hopes he’ll go and never come back. Jero tells her not to count on that. Laz heads to Alfi-Zeke’s to get Kari’s things, and Nata and Manuela take Kari to settle into her new bedroom. Laz tells Jero he will never forget what he is doing for the woman he loves.
Augie, who has not changed clothes, or taken off his windbreaker, in days, continues his slide into madness. But Zeke is the one who’s really crazy since he goes to Cruz de Amor to check on him. He assures Zeke he’s not the kind of weakling like Rafa who would kill himself over a woman. Zeke asks if Nata is the cause of Augie’s funk (the emotional one; not the one that must be emanating from his body by now). Augie denies it, so Zeke wisely drops the subject and leaves. Augie pours himself another drink and dedicates it to Nata. “For you Renata. Because if you think your life will be at the side of Linares, you are very mistaken. If you think I’m defeated, it’s not so. Your place is with me. YOUR PLACE IS WITH ME!!!!!! WITH ME!” (Ah yes, the chest thumping Gorillauggie scene we have been waiting for all week!)
Jero reports to the Bonita Gang that the boat has been found, but not Nesme. Mati is hopeful this means Nesme is gone for good. Nata informs them all that she and Jero have to leave in the morning to attend Gonzo and Gina’s wedding, but they’re coming right back after the wedding and they should contact them if anything at all happens. Manuela assures them they will hold down the fort and guard Kari with their lives.
Berta’s in her bedroom admiring the necklace she stole from Nata. She begs off attending the Adri dinner since she’s tired and wants to rest up for the wedding the next day. Gina buys this.
G: As you wish daughter. Let me know immediately if you need anything.
B: It makes me so happy that you worry about me. I’m so excited about your wedding tomorrow. I never imagined attending the wedding of my parents. (makes gagging face behind Gina’s gullible back)
G: Yes. It’s strange, right. But what’s important is that we’ll officially be a family.
B: Finally, there will be peace.
G: Has Fina tried to contact you?
B: No! I was very clear with her in the hospital. She knows that she’s dead to me.
G: Please. If she tries to communicate with you, tell me immediately. Even if I’m on my honeymoon.
B: Of course mommy. I think what I feel for her, must be very similar to the feelings she provokes in you. She prevented us from forming the relationship we have—mother and daughter.
G: (totally buying this b.s.) Well, from now on, that is how we will live, like mother and daughter. You don’t know how happy I am, and how grateful I am to the Virgin to be able to embrace you.
Berta puts on her most special plastic smile in response to this heartfelt speech.
Kari prays for clarity.
At the special surprise dinner, Gonzo’s worried about leaving Berta alone while he and Gina go away, but Hon is on the case and will be in contact with the investigators. Adri and Matias arrive and the announcements begin. Hon starts first and presents Adri with her new official birth certificate. She is now Adriana Sanchez Beltran. She is his and Constanza’s daughter. Adri gets teary and hugs her papa. She is happy to be their daughter.
Kari comes in to the living room to talk to the rest of the La Bonita Gang.
K: With everything that has happened, I realized that I have not taken my life into my own hands. That’s why you all took it upon yourselves to decide for me.
Laz: Karina. You don’t have to say anything.
K: Let me speak Lazaro, please. According to the law, I’m a widow. I know that I was married in the Church. But I also know that God doesn’t approve of abuse or violence. God is a being of love and mercy (misericordia). As of today, I’m going to give myself permission to separate myself from anyone who has treated me with unkindness (brusquedad) or violence. Be who it may, even if it’s my husband. And as of today, I rid myself of all the fears the people who raised and educated me instilled in me. And today, I assume my rights, and will put limits on others, without feeling guilty. Today, I take responsibility to live MY life as I desire. And so I ask you Lazaro, do you still want to marry me?
Oh my God!!!!! This has to be the happiest cara impactada I have ever seen at the end of a tn scene. Laz is speechless. I am standing on my chair cheering for Kari!
Avances: It’s the wedding day! But dressed like a nun, Fina approaches the happy couple in front of the church and shoots!
We come back to our main couple who continue the shocking trend of being absolutely open and honest with each other. Gasp! Jero has just told Nata that not only is Dr. AboutToCauseSomeMajorGrief NOT dead, but Augie was the one who tried to do them all a favor by ordering the prison hit.

J: Fine. It was Dunant. Agustín Dunant.
R: (totally impactada) What?! You’re saying that Augie is a murderer Jero.
J: He doesn’t do the killing. He sends people to do the killing. But it’s the same thing.
R: No. Wait. You can’t go believing 100% in the words of a delinquent like Nesme. And I’m sure he’s the one who told you Augie put the hit on him. Well then! Come on!
J: But he doesn’t have a reason to lie.
R: Come on Jero! He did it so that you would do exactly what you’re doing now—protecting him.
Jero explains that Nesme and Augie were accomplices and that’s why Augie tried to get rid of him. He explains further about the vine cutting from the La Bonita mother vine that Augie stole with Nesme’s help.

Augie, who has not changed clothes, or taken off his windbreaker, in days, continues his slide into madness. But Zeke is the one who’s really crazy since he goes to Cruz de Amor to check on him. He assures Zeke he’s not the kind of weakling like Rafa who would kill himself over a woman. Zeke asks if Nata is the cause of Augie’s funk (the emotional one; not the one that must be emanating from his body by now). Augie denies it, so Zeke wisely drops the subject and leaves. Augie pours himself another drink and dedicates it to Nata. “For you Renata. Because if you think your life will be at the side of Linares, you are very mistaken. If you think I’m defeated, it’s not so. Your place is with me. YOUR PLACE IS WITH ME!!!!!! WITH ME!” (Ah yes, the chest thumping Gorillauggie scene we have been waiting for all week!)
Jero reports to the Bonita Gang that the boat has been found, but not Nesme. Mati is hopeful this means Nesme is gone for good. Nata informs them all that she and Jero have to leave in the morning to attend Gonzo and Gina’s wedding, but they’re coming right back after the wedding and they should contact them if anything at all happens. Manuela assures them they will hold down the fort and guard Kari with their lives.
Berta’s in her bedroom admiring the necklace she stole from Nata. She begs off attending the Adri dinner since she’s tired and wants to rest up for the wedding the next day. Gina buys this.
G: As you wish daughter. Let me know immediately if you need anything.
B: It makes me so happy that you worry about me. I’m so excited about your wedding tomorrow. I never imagined attending the wedding of my parents. (makes gagging face behind Gina’s gullible back)
G: Yes. It’s strange, right. But what’s important is that we’ll officially be a family.
B: Finally, there will be peace.
G: Has Fina tried to contact you?
B: No! I was very clear with her in the hospital. She knows that she’s dead to me.
G: Please. If she tries to communicate with you, tell me immediately. Even if I’m on my honeymoon.
B: Of course mommy. I think what I feel for her, must be very similar to the feelings she provokes in you. She prevented us from forming the relationship we have—mother and daughter.
G: (totally buying this b.s.) Well, from now on, that is how we will live, like mother and daughter. You don’t know how happy I am, and how grateful I am to the Virgin to be able to embrace you.
Berta puts on her most special plastic smile in response to this heartfelt speech.
Kari prays for clarity.
At the special surprise dinner, Gonzo’s worried about leaving Berta alone while he and Gina go away, but Hon is on the case and will be in contact with the investigators. Adri and Matias arrive and the announcements begin. Hon starts first and presents Adri with her new official birth certificate. She is now Adriana Sanchez Beltran. She is his and Constanza’s daughter. Adri gets teary and hugs her papa. She is happy to be their daughter.
Kari comes in to the living room to talk to the rest of the La Bonita Gang.
K: With everything that has happened, I realized that I have not taken my life into my own hands. That’s why you all took it upon yourselves to decide for me.
Laz: Karina. You don’t have to say anything.
K: Let me speak Lazaro, please. According to the law, I’m a widow. I know that I was married in the Church. But I also know that God doesn’t approve of abuse or violence. God is a being of love and mercy (misericordia). As of today, I’m going to give myself permission to separate myself from anyone who has treated me with unkindness (brusquedad) or violence. Be who it may, even if it’s my husband. And as of today, I rid myself of all the fears the people who raised and educated me instilled in me. And today, I assume my rights, and will put limits on others, without feeling guilty. Today, I take responsibility to live MY life as I desire. And so I ask you Lazaro, do you still want to marry me?
Oh my God!!!!! This has to be the happiest cara impactada I have ever seen at the end of a tn scene. Laz is speechless. I am standing on my chair cheering for Kari!
Avances: It’s the wedding day! But dressed like a nun, Fina approaches the happy couple in front of the church and shoots!

Great recap!
So funny watching Dr WeHopeDiesSoonAPainfullySlowDeath dive under the parked truck that didn't run over him (darn it) yes very athletic indeed for Dr PreviouslyInAComaThatDidn'tKillHim.
Nata has forgotten the glimpses of Auggie's possesiveness towards her...and the times she has had to ask him to stand down.
Not liking Mama Mierda's snottiness towards Mati and the extreme makeover, she should have at least started by yanking off the head band....
Yay Kari she finally found her voice!!
Avances show Fina pointing/shooting in front of a crowd, wonder what her getaway plan is....

Hooray! What a way to end the episode! Insipid Kari takes control. I was shocked. I love it.
We finally got to see Augie lose it and beat his chest. That actor does pissed off better than anyone. His face looked like it was going to pop, he was so red and bug-eyed.
The Berta is such a brat, rolling her eyes and gagging behind Regina's back. Even sugary sweet Regina is starting to get a clue I think. I hope.
I'm not comfortable with what Carlos's mom is doing. She is a gigantic snob and I don't see Carlos being happy at all if Mati tries to play society girl. Like Vivi said, he could have married one of them but it's Mati he fell for.
Well, it looks like someone is about to get shot but we will have to wait until tomorrow to find out I guess.
Vivi, thanks so much for tonight's recap. Great title, great recap, great dialogues in honor of Marta, and a super final scene.

Mil gracias for volunteering your talent tonight, Vivi! I had to miss this one and your recap is very much appreciated. :)
"I feel like we’re in the middle of the movie Groundhog’s Day". You've got that right. Poor Chema seems to be on a slippery slope to the grave. At least he finally admitted he needs to see a doctor. Unfortunately, it's probably too late now. The TN gods must be hungry for blood.
And on the topic of blood, how in the world is Fina going to pull off such a public shooting? Nuns with guns don't exactly blend in with the crowd. No matter, Fina will undoubtedly screw it up anyway. We've said it before but she is one lousy serial killer.
Three cheers to Karina for sticking up for herself! She finally decided to put her own happiness first. I hope we're treated to a lovely wedding they have been teasing us about. Kari and Laz deserve it.

Thanks so much for stepping in Vivi. It was a wonderful recap -- and an oh so true title. Good for Kari. She really laid it out.
Love your mother-in-law from Mierda crack, Vivi and you are so right. If Carlos had really wanted one of those Spanish socialite types he would have married one of them. He's not going to like the makeover Mati. They were better off when the parents had them written off.
Yes! we finally got to see the chest thumping we were waiting for. Auggie is one frightenin' fella.
Since we waited about 3 days after we saw his gorilla act in the previews, maybe it will be a few more days before Fina's noxious nun fires her gun.

Haven't read this recap yet, or yesterday's for that matter. Just wanted to let you know that Mike and I met Cheryl this evening. She is as wonderful and fun as you would imagine. She took us to watch the sunset at Sandia Peak. (Albuquerque) nothing like it, I'm telling you! Then the best Mexican food ever!
Güera reminded me, that Mama Mierda crack is the funniest ever. I forgot to mention it in my earlier comment.
Emilia, sounds like you all had a fantastic time and are still having fun. Thanks for checking in.

Thanks for the nice comments all.
I am still in awe of the last scene with Kari. I know we would have liked to see it sooner, but I think the writers go this right. This is a timid, deeply Catholic woman, raised in a very old school traditional way. She married ber husband based on a deathbed promise to her beloved father. For years she is verbally, emotionally and physically abused by this husband. No one, not even her priest, gives credit to her saying there is something wrong with her husband. She is raped by this husband, and when she finally works up the courage to leave him, he kidnaps her and keeps her tied up under the bed. It's a wonder she didn't need a shrink or have a mental breakdown.
I really wanted Adri to get Chema to a doctor that day, but considering she didn't, and the Gonzo-Gina wedding is the next day, and all kinds of mayhem is about to ensue, I don't think Adri will remember Chema for a while. Poor guy. I got so sad for him when those tears welled up in his eyes as Adri broke his heart again.
Emilia- How wonderful that you met Cheryl. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Mike soon!

Vivi - recapper extraordinaire. Thanks for stepping in with this amazing recap, complete with conversations.
Still doing the happy dance over that ending. Thought Nata was going to burst she was so happy for Kari too, and the look on Laz's face (hugging my tee)- for once a positive, fun freeze-frame. My kudos to the writers for this revelation that didn't have to wait until the end - love the showing of strong women in this TN.
"Augie’s funk (the emotional one; not the one that must be emanating from his body by now" - so funny. That Alpha Male shout out just continues to crack me up - he starts swinging from branches, we'll know he's really lost it.
Good thing I ate dinner early last night because those Berta/Gina scenes just make my stomach turn. But maybe a glimmer of a light bulb is starting over Gina - please say so....
The mother-in-law from hell - I'm hoping the first new get up Carlos sees on Mati making her look like some society babe will make a light bulb go over his head too on what Mama is up to.
Ultimate Halloween costume - Fina in a nun's get-up!! Now, who gets the bullet. I'm guessing it's not who Fina was intending. Can't wait to find out who!!

Thanks so much Vivi for subbing in for me!! great recap!
Appreciate all the praise... while on vac, I am making progress translating all my CS 93 dialogue files to english since so many have asked me for it..
ITA on Kari surprising the world and I bet Lazaro still has not picked up his jaw or his heart off the floor... talk about being FLASH FREEZE FLOORED!!

I'm enjoying the bonding between Carlos' mom and Mati. So far Matilde seems to be having a good time. Those shoes were downright scary. I certainly hope it doesn't occur to her to tamper with Mati's headband.
Good for Kari, but I'm not sure whom she was trying to convince with her little speech... her friends or... herself.
Loved Augie's breast beating.
Will someone please go get Gitana?
Will someone please get Chema to a Dr.?
Nun with a gun... good choice Fina.
Carlos

Carlos
Carlos- I think Kari had already gained certainty from her prayers for clarity. Saying it out loud to her friends just gave it further affirmation.
I forgot to say before that one of my favorite parts of Kari's scene was Nata's excitement as she listened. Love the strong women in this show -- and that so far has included the sometimes bratty Mati. Hope she doesn't allow herself to be cowed by her snotty suegra. But if Mati does go off the deep end for a while I'm sure she'll shake it off & be back to herself before long -- though if she lost the headband permanently I wouldn't mind.
Glad you all had a good time Emilia, Mike & Cheryl. I'm off for the weekend with the grandkids in PA -- I'll have only recaps to keep me going til I get back to the VCR on Sunday night. Hope I don't miss the wedding. Will Berta still be on board with Fina when she sees the gun???

Vivi, Your title and your recap are so welcome and so fun. I was excited when you said you would fill in for Marta, even giving us the dialog verbatim piece that we prize in Marta's work. You are the bees knees!
I came in from a fun adventure with Mike and Emilia riding to the top of the Sandia Mtn in a tram. The New Mexico skies didn't disappont, we had a rim of glorious color that looked sparkly golden to the west but continued completely around so that to the east it was rosy to blue hues. More fun tomorrow: Balloon ride, Acoma, Fractals Rock.
I love everyone's continuing names for Nesme. It's so fun when the group on a TN gets to have theme jokes and Nesme is the perfect candidate to be the brunt of our humor. But, Kari was a welcome surprise, I was thinking she was going to wail tall the way to the end of the story and we would name her La Llarona but NO, she's got a new lease on herself esteem. I loved Laz doing impactado y feliz.
Nun with a gun! great twist. The writers have had such fun with their monster's fashion show so withe Chema, every day is Ground Hog day and with Fina, every day is Halloween.
I bet Augie's windbreakers all need a day of beauty at the dry cleaners since they must reek of bitter sweat and spilled liquor. Would someone kindly remember to get Gitana the hell out of there!

Hello Ms. Vivi...great recap and like everybody else, got a big kick out of your Mother-in-law from Mierda refrain. Well-done.
The fellow playing Dr. Nesme has seemed so nerdy I was astonished at his graceful slide under the truck and also his vault over the barrier (he could have gone around it just as easily). Anyway, hats off to the guy. Maybe he might even be attractive if he was playing someone nice. Who knows?
This TN is full of empowerment for women PSA's I must say and I rather like it. The assertion that people have a choice whether to feel embittered or to make a change is a very good message, as is the determination to take responsibility for one's own life rather than lapse into "victimology". I DO like this group of writers.
And Gúera..."noxious nun". Cute!
An especially big thanks to you Vivi. I know you're recapping the 9 pm show and making encouraging comments of Familia, yet you still found the time to do a bang-up job on this one. Bien hecho.

Muchas muchas gracias, Vivi. It was a great episode, and you did it justice and then some.
Dr. Cockroach's escape was hilarious. Pathetic how the police couldn't stop him, but it was very funny watching him go. The slide under the car, the gratuitous leap over the gate, the frantic run down the pier, the maniacal roaring away of the boat. Awfully considerate of the boat owner to leave the key in the ignition.
The stuff MakeoverMama bought for Mati didn't look at all attractive. That dress with the built-in corset belt thing looked like a tackier version of Mati's usual style. I agree with everyone else, if Carlos wanted a snooty society babe, he would have married one. He likes Mati the way she is and he is NOT going to be happy with Mama's manipulations. It should be fun to watch, though.
I like the positive, empowering messages in this show, too. No sitting around crying and letting the bad guys run your life, at least not for long.
I hope Laz gets around to telling Renata what happened with Arely one of these days. She's in deep denial about Augustin's nature.

Did anyone see Modern Family last night? Jay started watching a telenovela with Gloria to make her happy, and he ended up getting way more into it than she was and calling their housekeeper to discuss it. If it were a Televisa novela instead of Colombian, he'd probably be joining us on CC.
Julia- You know, I've only seen that show once, when I was in Venezuela last year. I thought it was really funny. I really must program my DVR to catch it. I used to find it really funny on Ugly Betty when they would watch tns.
Vivi: Great recap. Thanks for the dialogue.
How can Kari be considered a widow if her husband isn't dead? Even if he was delared legally dead, I would think she would still be considered married to him if it's found out he's alive.
I slo-moed the previews and think I know who got shot. I won't spoil it since no one else has mentioned it. And I'm not sure if I'm right since it could be interpreted another way.

Vivi--I've missed your superb recaps. This one reads more like a word-for-word copy of the screenplay, it was so detailed.
We need a little diversion with the Suegra trying to turn Mati into an imitation Spanish society nuera. Wait till she gets the blow-back from Carlos. I don't think Daddy would have approved of her plan either.
The Nun with a Gun. So fitting from the avances. Tell, me, though, do 2011 nuns in Mexico still dress like the pre-1960s? Do Gonzo and Regina really know that many nuns that Fina would blend in so well?
Why would NesmeReturnsFromTheDead take a chance going back to his huse to find Karina. Maybe he's been dead too long to realize that's the first place the police would have under surveillance--oh that's right, we're in Mexico where the police seem to always be in the wrong place at the right time...EXCEPT when they captured Blanca. What's she up to these days anyway.
I agree, Carlos, Gitana is in danger. Remember, Nata said she would send someone for her, but Auggie said he'd take care of bringing the mare to her. If Auggie can dispatch people without remorse, think what he could do to a horse. Maybe he will tell Nata Gitana is sick and she should come see for herself--setting up another kidnapping.
Can't wait to see Berta and Nata at the wedding. Gina looked lovely in the avances.
Too much going on in CME right now. Just can't comment on every delicious little morsel!

yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah! And fine for the other stuff too, but KARI! Finally. That's one character fixed. Now let's get Chema to the hospital so he can get better and marry Julieta.

Well, it isn't a TN wedding unless somebody tries to stop it! I'm wondering if one of the sisters will get caught in the crossfire, setting up that blood-relative-blood-donation thing we've been wondering about...but it seems early to have all that come out.
Nice to read your voice again, Vivi!

Vivi, let me just add to the praise and accolades your rich, enveloping recap so justly deserved. Loved, loved, loved the title.
Everyone has already commented (so eloquently)on the interesting and unexpected events (Kari! who knew you had a backbone, let alone a mind of your own??), I will simply say thank you to Vivi, all of the recappers and commenters who continually make this so much fun.
Happy early weekend all - finally have a day off tomorrow.

Blue Lass, if there's one thing I've learned with these writers, nothing is ever too early. They love throwing plot twists at us.
I have a speculation on who gets shot too, Robey, but want to wait and see if it happens. I do hope we get a "Nun on the Run" sequence, if only for a little bit so we can see Fina try to high-tail it in that get-up.

Oh I love the image of Nun On The Run, it will be like revisiting the Blanca of the Bobbing Bust Bursts through police lines. This show is such a delight on so many levels.
Let's hope Roberta gets her eyes opened at the sight of Mami in nuns drag firing bullets at the family. I wouild be okay with her getting in the way. Mean! Yes I am but I would be willing for it to be a wake up moment for one last chance at redemption.

Cheryl: Do you think something as drastic as getting shot will redeem Berta? I want her to be redeemed, but am growing increasingly afraid it won't happen.

Roberta has had so many wake up calls: losing her baby with her mother refusing to get her to the hospital until it was so late she now can't have children at all, finding out that her mother was the one who killed Rafael, knowing her mom tried to kill Regina and Constanza, having a heart attack. If she hasn't woken up yet, it seems unlikely that she will. And yet, this is a telenovela and the opening credits do show her happily stomping grapes, so maybe? Perhaps she will get amnesia and turn sweet and tolerable.
Lovely recap Vivi! Thanks so much for standing in today. Looks like you enjoyed doing that episode - you were so proud of Kari!

I agree. The writers on this TN are really great. They've created characters that just seem so real, and realistic - even the nutty ones! I think this is the only TN I have watched where I often thought I was watching real people rather than being in some fantasy land. Very few beanie cap moments.

FWIW - Kari is legally a widow until the death certificate is rescinded (or whatever it is they do to undo death certificates). But if it is ever rescinded, it would invalidate any subsequent marriage.
But the thing is, she can't get a divorce either while Nesme is legally dead.
