Una Familia Con Suerte #67 Tue 1/3/12 Vins totally loses his shit
Candi is still sobbing in Chela's lap about her Vins predicament, and Chela reminds her that the man has publicly denied loving her on several occasions. This seems to make at least a bit of an impression.
Pancho is on Vins' case again, a prelude to the breakdown. He gives Vins his meanest squint and extracts a promise to never see the Bombon again.
Vins is already breaking up. He's with Enzo and his other friend, and they're dishing like it was Sex in the City. They warn him not to get too close to Candi, which obviously makes no impression whatsoever. They tell him that Pina will eat him alive if she finds out, and we learn that Pina actually owns the house and everything.
The next morning, we're treated to a hilarious breakfast with Pina and breakdown-Vince (let's call this neurotic side of him Wince). He's talking gibberish, pouring orange juice on his ham, and slathering his toast with butter, raw egg, and strawberry yogurt. As if he weren't enough of a wreck already, Candi shows up and Ado hollers like she always does when someone arrives. Pina says WHAT? Wince says oh, that's Nandy. He chokes on his delicious breakfast and both ladies start pounding on his back, ostensibly to clear the blockage. Pina leaves on some business or something, and Wince tries to tell Candi that he can't see her anymore. She freaks, and informs him that he's going to lose this "mujeron," this gypsy body (?), this caramel bonbon. Nice to see her with such a positive self-image.
Pancho is getting rock-bottom-nothing done at work, thanks to barfy-cute flirting with Beca, throwing kisses and such crap.
Ana lays the guilt on pretty thick with Pancho, blaming him for Chela's departure from the household.
Similarly, Candi is getting very little done at the radio station. She's distracted, and Pina chews her out. Then she decides to take the call from Vins, something sure to calm her down.
At his office, Wince has begun to hallucinate, seeing Candi posing on his monitor, in his address book, and even in the test patterns on the television. Predictably, the real bonbon shows up and he proclaims her to be a phantasm ("are you radioactive?").
We see what a terrible show Pina Opina really is, as the host steamrolls her poor guest into supporting some weird black-hen diet.
And that's just about it!

Thanks for posting your recap. It looks like the action takes one or two sentences so capturing slang phrases is the game to play. I appreciate how difficult all this work you and Melinama have been doing holding this telenovela together with Julia and Julie.
I don't think this was a two-hour episode, although it might have felt like it. Vince was a scream tonight; it was his night to shine.
I tuned in at 8 and didn't feel I had missed anything, plotwise, so if there was an hour before that I'm not feeling especially bereft. Tonight's looks more interesting.
On the other post Melinama did yesterday about the two-hour episodes, someone named JPcruzer volunteered and asked for contact info... between JP and CherylNewNex we may actually be getting a full slate of recappers! Wheeee!!
As of last night TVguide.com was saying we'll be back to one hour again starting Monday the 16th at 8, but it also said CME would be on at 7, so maybe that's not good information.
I am baffled as to why Candy, who has an inflated sense of her desirability (well, maybe she's right), has such low self esteem that she would allow herself to be a man's mistress, with no promises of a legit commitment.
I wanted to slap Ana. Ya, basta! Pancho has explained that he has NO romantic feelings for Chela over and over again, and Ana is old enough to understand. Rebe, as stiff as she is, has done NOTHING to Ana or her family. She has no reason to see her as a potentially evil stepmother.
I must be with Ezra because I dont remember Chela's crying, I guess I had my own tears from laughing at Vince. Or have I become immune to Chela?
And thank you, I could not understand the conversation between Pina and her guest, again I will say it's because I was still laughing.
Sergio is hysterical.
Maybe Chela has FINALLY resigned herself that Pancho loves Rebeca. However, I do believe he will fall for Chela in the end, I guess that's about 100 episodes from now.
Two hours is a long time to watch a TV show....but I spent 4 hours watching my home state Va Tech Hokies lose the Sugar Bowl last night....
I guess we will watch what's worth watching....
That breakfast was so funny. I think I was making the same face as Pina.
Other than that I found this episode kinda boring. Chela is annoying, I don't care about Candy's love problems, and I find Pancho's and Rebeca's romance very dull.
Plus, I just don't like Pancho very much. Something about his hair situation plus the way he licks his lips and scrunches his nose looks skeezy to me.
Well, now I'm being too negative. Something positive: I really liked the fabric of Arnoldo's jacket.
