Una Familia Con Suerte #45 Thu 12/8/11 Everyone has a lot of baggage, and two put it in suitcases and head to Brasil.
Immediately after the long-awaited liplock, Rebeca tells Pancho he’d better leave. He does, and once he’s out the door they both swoon.
At the compucafe, Freddy is very cold to Elena, thinking she told Mónica about their little getaway. She denies it and asks if this means they aren’t going. He turns on the ingratiating smarm once again and says of course they’re going. “Just to make Moni jealous,” she asks. Fred the Fraud claims he’s really into her.
Moni visits Pepe at the big manse to explain the conversation with Freddy he walked in on. She admits that for a moment she thought Freddy was sincere and considered taking him back, but she quickly came to her senses. No Freddy for her, no way, no how. Pepe is thrilled.
Tomás does some shirtless plumbing and panting Pina has a hard time dragging addled Adoración away from the scenic view. Pina tells Tom to holler for her if he needs anything.
Pancho is no gentleman; he kisses and tells. Tweedles Dee and Dum get the smooch story con lujo de detalles. They squeal and jump around. Pancho says then she kicked him out. The sidekicks think his kiss must have sucked, and not in a good way. He says no, it was awesome.
Meanwhile, Rebeca and Bárbara also celebrate at some club. Rebe’s still being a worrywart and Bárbara tells her to live it up.
Chela and Candy chatter about Candy’s inexplicable crush on Vins and chilled friendship with Pina. Since this is not about Pancho, Chela looks bored. At least she isn’t sobbing.
Tomás tells Elena he will break Freddy’s face. Elena says no need; she’s already thought better of it and decided he’s probably just using her, so she isn’t going to Brasil. Tomás is overjoyed. Elena’s britches smolder and spark.
Pina takes over Freddy’s packing. She puts in a lot of heavy sweaters so he won’t get chilled and come down with something in Rio, then fusses over his socks and undies. Fred complains. Pina has mucho histrionics about missing him and jokes about going as a stowaway in his luggage and baby-talks to him. Freddy complains and calls her a drama queen but consents to some Eskimo kisses (besitos de esquimal).
Before band practice, Ana and Manuel are on the verge of a serious chat, but César comes in telling a story of a chica who gave him a phone number that turned out to be for a recording service that tells dudes to buzz off. Manuel flirts with Ana and the fourth band member looks annoyed.
Lupita talks to the contractors at the casa popular. Lollipop sidekick asks her about Elena and says she left a note saying she’ll be gone for days. Uh-oh.
At the Toluca airport, Elena tells Freddy how well her plan worked. He says now that they’ve gotten away by themselves, nature can take its course. They appear to be getting right on that, right there in the concourse.
Pancho’s secretary tells him that Freddy has left town. He tries to call Rebeca but she doesn’t answer. She tells Barb no más besos until she’s made sense of everything. Barb says love isn’t about logic; just go for it.
Pancho calls Lupita and confirms that Freddy and Elena have probably run off together.
Enzo and Vins are at the gym. Vins can’t seem to even move the light weight he’s holding; he’s just moaning about Candy. She walks in. Enzo can’t keep Vins from ogling.
Tomás is telling Pina he needs more money for pipes. Lupita walks in to tell him Elena left. Tomás rages and explains to Pina that his sister went to Brasil with her son. Pina has a meltdown.
Vins and Candy lunge and squat together until Pina twirls in. She gives the two of them a hard time and tells Vins that their son went to Brasil with the plumber’s sister.
Chela overhears the sidekicks talking about The Kiss. They claim they were talking about someone else, but she gets them to confess the truth. Chacho realizes Chela is in love with Pancho and his own crush is unrequited. Wordplay wherein Big Boy thinks platónico (platonic) means someone who sells plátanos (plantains).
Chela cries in the casa popular kitchen. Chacho offers a clean hankie and sympathy.
Ana overhears Fernanda getting an address from someone on the phone, then watches her leave the house in a suspicious fashion. Ana asks Goya if she’s noticed Fer’s sneaking around.
Pina does not approve of Moni’s complete indifference to Freddy’s tomcatting. Moni is just done with him.
Rebe finally talks to Pancho but she’s still a neurotic mess. She wants distance. He runs across the room; is that far enough?
Moni daydreams of the mime giving her a paper rose. He appears in her office with a real rose. He launches into a long and nonsensical explanation that he’s the sea, and she’s the rock, and he won’t give up until he’s ground her down into sand. I suppose that was meant to be romantic. Moni sees Enzo appear in the office doorway out the corner of her eye, so she stages a big dramatic “get lost” speech. Pepe tries some more to woo her and a tear runs down her cheek.
Pancho tells Rebe to have a good trip and hugs her just as Chela walks in.
Avances: Mucha melodrama de Chela.

Julia- Perfect recap. Just enough detail, but plenty of snark. And the vocab list is a great bonus. It seems that there are ten new phrases that emerge each episode!
Elena is a real dummy. Does she really plan to get busy with Freddy in Brazil, or will she try to find ways to put him off again? It won't be so easy to run away there, like she did last time.
I think it's hilarious the way that not only Pina babies Freddy, but also Vince. Every time he calls Freddy nene (baby) it makes me laugh. Pina and Vince in the gym also cracked me up. When Pina/Daniela got on that machine, I could tell Sergio was having a hard time keeping a straight face. The two of them are enjoying playing there roles immensely.

Thank you Julia for the wonderful recap and vocab list. The list is helping me with this tn. I have trouble with the jokes. I love this tn it is so funny. I think Freddy took Elena to Brasil to make Monica jealous, but it backfired. I wonder what Tomas will do to Freddy. I hope Chela doesn't cry through this whole tn.I love Pina's poses, they are too funny. And Sergio and his lifting weights,lol.

Julia, since you have such a good handle on the volcabulary could you tell me what it means when Pina said "no haga los ojos de huevos". She said it to Candy a couple days ago and again last night with Freddie the creep.
Thanks for your lists!

Well, it was late when I posted and now, in the morning, I can see typos in the vocab. Stiff neck, without a j. Doblar LAS patas.
Melinama, a lot of the phrases and words are actually in my dictionary. Some of them I find by googling. And every day there are at least a couple I can't find at all and don't list, so I don't know if I misheard them (and the captioner did, too) or the character is just making things up.
Pina on the exercise equipment was a hoot. I don't know how any of the other actors get through these scenes with her. Her babying Freddy is really funny, too.
Chela should totally give Chacho a chance. He's so attentive to her. His biggest flaw is that he's always hanging out with Big Boy.

Anon, it means "don't act innocent!" One of these days I will get around to making a page for all the vocabulary, I promise!
Julia, cute title. My favorite line: “Elena’s britches smolder and spark.” Freddy is so smarmy. One moment he's looking embarrassed to be with Elena and the next he's giving her a liplock in the airport line (ick!).
ITA that Chela should give Chacho a chance. I also hope Candy and Lupita stop encouraging her. If it wasn't for her fabulous cooking skills and all the close-ups of the dishes that I get to see, I'd totally give up on her.

Julia, thank you for defining no hacer los ojos de huevos. I don't get the connection but it is clever and colorful. Looking forward to your list, I too keep a list and look up definitions during commercials, but often there are stumpers. Lots of slang in this TV.

I think the connection is that opening the eyes wide is a way of trying to appear innocent (wide-eyed is often used in English as an expression for innocence), and eyes opened wide look like eggs?
I'm getting curious about Manuel now. It would be fine with me if we spent more time on these side plots and less on Chela crying. When Ana walked in, he was playing Moonlight Sonata, I think, which would indicate he'd had formal piano lessons, but he denied that to Ana.

Gracias Juia,
Too funny with Vicente having problems with the weights, the biceps belie that, Ennzo looks good also.
I don't think Freddy & Elena will get off the ground. Why on earth would Ana be interested in him? I hope the band has someone worthy of her affection.

I just now caught up on the past three episodes so thank you Ez and Melinama for your recaps.
Julia, the recap and vocab are just super! Cute title too. I agree, what does Ana see in stupid Freddy with those cute band members around her. I, too, think Manuel was playing the moonlight sonata. He's so mysterious!
Pina was a hoot in this episode. Sergio's not the only one who finds it hard to maintain in her presence. The actor who plays Freddy looked like he was on the verge of cracking up during his packing scene.
Niece, I LOVE the food scenes in this show. Wednesday they were eating Pastel Azteca which I had first heard of in Querida Enemiga. I've gotten quite a few dishes to add to my repertoire thanks to our beloved telenovelas.
