Una Familia Con Suerte #101-102 Mon 1/30/12

Pepe has invited Enzo to ask about why he hid moni's mom, but chela comes up and now she's willing to tal to him. He wants to place himself at her orders, and begs for help - he needs her.

Moni-Freddy. Fred feels so alone. He confesses that he loves Ana (his vengeance-pepe plan failed). Moni, predictably, says he has to fight for love. Freddy seems genuinely repentant.

Chela gently hands Enzo some coffee, and they're looking nicer. BUT he asks her help with a moni issue. She advises that he talk to Violeta. and tell Moni the truth. He keeps laying on the compliments. Tender gaze, strength of character, etc, he's making some headway.

Tomas calls Panch to let him know that lupe wants to die.

Pina and Ado are miserable, going over the betrayals, when some godawful mariachis show up with cha-cha. worst sound ever, says pina. he's bringing her a rooster.

Enzo finally admits to Moni that he's not her Dad. We get a dramatic noise and a zoom-in. He goes on to tell her he doesn't know the real dad. She flounces off, to Pepe, who is very sweet. He has some good advice (Enzo raised you)

Lupe is flash-backing to the wedding death. Pancho bursts in, turns on the lights, wakes her up and says "are you better yet?" Pancho and Rebe are basically yelling at her about how much she has to live for and how young she is and stuff. Not how I'd initiate a suicide watch. Then he grabs her head and makes her promise.

Cha-cha are dancing below ado's window, and Chato yells/sings SO LOUD. Pina continues to grill Ado re: betrayal, but lets her on the balcony when she hits him in the head with a flower-pot to "stop that big-nose dog from barking"

Candi and Vins are getting a suite. He tells her not to believe that he's married.

Chacho rubs his lollipop on Chato's face. He wakes up with another cheap-tv-gag-favorite, amnesia. Chacho tries to wave the lollipop in AdO's face to calm her down.

Enzo calls Violeta, gets frustrated. Chela walks in, and all of a sudden she CARES ABOUT HIM? Didn't she chew him out last time they met?

Fred shows up with a huge bunch of flowers for ana, has an awkward run-in with Chela and Enzo

Vins and Candy are drinking MORE champagne. do they ever wear anything else. She's being a bit selfish. They play cute game of chase around a column, and then smooch. Vins is about to burst. They do it.

Fred/Ana: Fred says he'll be totally honest. Ana says what a miracle, where's the Virgin Mary?

Enz and ridiculous Amazon moni's mom. Enzo is mad... NOW you want this daughter now that's she's mature and cool? She says her mistake was leaving HIM. him: it's been twenty years. are you crazy. she: life's giving us another chance. She moves in, rubs him, and tries for a kiss. She looks kind of intimidating and he looks short and small.

Fred is not having the easiest time convincing Ana that he's telling the truth. He pulls the dead-friend card, and she storms off (not without snagging the flowers: yoink!).

Pancho is in bed with lupita to try comforting her. In the morning she is greeted by the whole gang in her room. A discordant accordion and a dog thrown at her face. But where's Candy?

Vins walks in, Pina smells the perfume, and runs off as he gets in bed. She has a plan.

At Avon, Vins gloats to Naldo.

Moni tells dad that he must have been afraid to let her date because he didn't want her to know the truth. Then she tells him how much Pepe said he must love her. Very sweet.

Candy is back in the dayglo. Pina shows up with proof of pregnancy. WTF?

Thanks, Ezra.

"A discordant accordion and a dog thrown at her face." Yikes, what a way to wake up. Sometimes the Lopez family is THE WORST. Woooo, it's a party! Celebrating the first day of the rest of your life! Maybe Temo's too young to really get it, and Ana's too self-absorbed to care about anyone else's emotions, but Pepe should know better. Her husband JUST DIED. Stop ordering her to cheer up!

If it had been months and she was still lying in bed crying all the time, it would be appropriate to intervene (maybe by suggesting counseling, not by blasting her with accordion and cheers), but they're all, "well, the funeral's over, are you happy yet?" So insensitive.

I don't normally condone either violence or amnesia plots, but I cheered Pina for chucking the potted plant at Chatty's head. Now I hope he forgets to ever come back.

I liked how they quickly settled the situation, that Enzo is Moni's father, regardless of where she got her DNA.
 

Thank you Ezra. Wow, so Enzzo is not the father. I wonder if we will ever find out who Moni's father is. I am glad Enzzo told her the truth, and that she still considers him her papa.

Oh, Candy and Vins. I really wish they hadn't done the deed. Now Candy will feel twice as guilty since she now knows Pina knows about them and that Pina is pregnant.

Maybe we need a new name for Frauddie. He is not so much of a Frauddie anymore. I still like the Fraidy Freddy name for him, cause that seems to fit him. I like he brought Ana flowers and apologized profusely and said he loved her. I don't blame her for looking like she didn't believe him, but she kept the flowers anyway. lol.

Loved Enzzo and Chela together. I liked the soft sweet touches he gave her. And she finally stopped calling him Transeti. Now it is Senor Rinaldi lol. I have a question. Why do they address Chela as senora instead of senorita? Or is senorita only for the young?
I also liked that Chela actually gave him good advice.
And Chela was actually nice to Rebe. Maybe she is finally changing. She looks like she could have some feelings for Enzzo.

Pina really should tell Vins she is pregnant. I know she blames Candy for all of this, but really Vins is to blame too. He was messing around on Pina way before Candy came into his life.

And where of where is Elena the supposed best friend? Tomas is a better best friend than Elena. I am glad he called Pancho to tell him about Lupe. She does need some type of grief counseling.
 

In the beginning I couldn't stand Pina's ramblings but ever since she showed a warm/hot side with Tomas I've begun to enjoy her and right now its sad the mess she is in.

The Candy/Vince thing is getting tiresome.

Pepe saved the day for Enzo, lets hope he appreciates it. Not sure what the Amazon adds to the story.

Glad that wild eyed singer is gone.
 

Thanks Ezra. What is up with Violeta blowing hot and cold with Enzo? What does she want? Instant family-- husband and daughter. It doesn't even sound like she and Enzo married the first time round.

I'm also glad that he took Chela's advice and beat Violeta to the punch in telling Moni the truth. Not only did he raise a child that wasn't his biologically, he is the one who convinced Violeta not to get an abortion and decided to take on the full responsibility for the baby, despite only being a car washer at the time. He obviously made some huge sacrifices to support Moni and then get to the point where he was providing such a good life for her.

I thought it was sweet that Pancho cuddled Lupe to sleep and that he and Rebe watched over her. But that wake-up party was too damn much, and Lupe's face said as much. They need to let her grieve. I agree. If the depression continues for months on end, then get her some professional help. But let her breathe!

Well, Candy can't claim that she and Vince aren't having an affair now. Hmmm....
 

I also wanted to add if you need a guest recapper or sub I would be willing to try. I understand most of the dialogue. I don't have CC's. I usually look up words I don't understand.
 

So much good advice given in this episode. Chela told Enzo he needed to tell Moni the big secret himself. Moni told Freddy it would be good for him to have to put effort into something for once, and if he failed, at least he would know he'd done everything he could. Pepe told Moni that Enzo must have loved her very much to take care of her when it must have been VERY difficult for him, and thus he's earned the father title. Pina told Ado to steer clear of that loser Chato.

Yet they fail Lupita. All this waking her up and yelling at her. It just shows how good and noble she is that she didn't scream at them all and ask what is wrong with them.
 

Chato was just faking that he didn't know who Ado was and joking around because he was mad at Ado, thinking she was the one who threw the flower pot at his head. I had a good laugh when Pina did that.
 

Well, I hope he stays mad at Ado and never comes back. She's a ditz, but she's sweet and she deserves better than that smarmy idiot.
 

Thank you Ezra. The happy-happy party held for poor Lupita made me cringe. ITA wiht Julia.

Chela is changing and, on a shallow note, wow, does she look great in her new wardrobe.

I felt very sorry for Pina last night. Candy and Vins are so great at the physical comedy thing it's easy to forget they are betraying Pina. Arghh.

EJ
 

Yep, those hackneyed phrases sound just as trite in every language. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life", Indeed!! There is nowhere to hide from that family.

Enzo was so very sweet last night. I'm glad we are getting to enjoy his nicer side instead of the scheming Transeti from before.

Re Ado: "She's a ditz, but she's sweet and she deserves better than that smarmy idiot." Amen sister. Chato is gross.

As much as I like Candy I truly enjoyed Pina sticking it to her in the last scene. It will be interesting to see what transpires between them.
 

Thank you for the succinct yet snarky recap. I am so new to this one and my feelings for the characters are all over the place: Thursday I felt bad for Pina, but less so last night. Yeah I know she's the wronged party but your baby is not a pawn/weapon. I agree with everyone IRT the wake up party--too early. I am completely unimpressed with Mamazon.
 

Mamazon. Good one! I can totally understand why Pepe and everyone stare at her chest. It's so oiled up and shiny! And overexposed! I'm not an ogler of that sort of thing but even I could hardly look away, I was so curious as to how and why she goes for that high-gloss sheen, and doesn't she get her clothes all oily?

And now she's pretending she's in love with Enzo? What's her game? Is she out of money?
 

OMG! I was totally mesmerized by the sparklyboobs too!
 

I was amazed that Enzo was able to keep his eyes off them while they spoke. Mamazon, I love it!
 

I was kind of mad at Pancho for continuing to berate Enzo when he walked in and saw that Enzo and Monica had obviously been having an emotional conversation. It was so obvious that then was NOT the time to be bringing up their drama with each other. I mean, the man's eyes were swollen and red with tears and he still was polite enough to greet Pancho and Rebe and offer his condolences. Snark at him all you want when the circumstances and his attitude call for it. But there's a time and a place for everything. The Lopez fam doesn't quite understand that. I also thought that Ana was being a bit too snarky to Freddy considering his best (and only) friend had just died. She didn't have to forgive him and take him back. Just tone it down and use the opportunity to express condolences.
 

Ezra, gracias for the recap.

ITA about the "cheer up, Lupita." I was hoping she'd tell 'em where to stick it.

Loved Pina playing slam dunk with Chato's head.

Pina and Candy used to be fun together. Sad to see them like this. Pina's got a right to bitterness but she'll never have a loving husband as long as she's with Vince, even if Candy left for Timbuktu.
 

Thanks Ezra...your aside "Not how I'd initiate a suicide watch" was perfect. I was appalled at this scene. If I hadn't been suicidal before, I WOULD HAVE BEEN after that insensitive, intrusive over-loud barrage. But I suppose Lupita's used to it. Una familia a little too fuerte.

Very relieved that y'all brought up the strangely shiny über-buffed chest of Mamazon. How do they do that? Some special gloss cream? Whatever. It's mesmerizing. And with her height, those fluorescent boobs are right in everybody's face. Strange.

Enzzo and Chela were sweet last night. The other couples, not so much.
 

Moni and Pepe were pretty sweet too Judy.
 

Fluorescent boobs. Lmao !
 

Tks Ezra
People need to grieve for a reasonable length of time, pls let Lupita do it. I do think it was sweet that Pancho & Rebeca watched over her. But the happy group would just make me cry more.

Now Candy has a real dilemma, she is a decent person, so I think that is the end of the relationship, at least for now, but we still have about 100 episodes to go.

We are also finding out Enzo is a decent person, so this is really going to impress Chela.
 

Haha, I'm so sorry that this was late, guys... The amusing story is that these are actually my notes from watching the show. I just forgot to revise them or make them pretty or post my post, and Sylvia saved my bacon by going ahead and pulling the trigger for me.

All swell that end swell, hey!
 

Ok, I see everyone has quit sobbing.....
Now were the Amazon/Mamazon boobs, sparkly or fluorescent....
Either way they are bound to create a problem before this show ends.
The problem will be in my house, as I take over control of the remote between 7 and 8 pm on more days other than Wednesday.

Pray for me..........
 

You're right Vivi...Pepe and Moni were very sweet, and he said some very wise things.

Anon #1, we will certainly pray for you. I'm sure the Good Lord knows EXACTLY who Anon #1 is!
 

I told hubs about the sparklyboobs today during while I was describing my "which TN to add to my schedule" quandary. He voted for UFCS over El Talisman. -__-
 

Sara, there is definitely more boobage in UFCS (so far). However it looks like we will have more than our fair share of bare midriffs and curvaceous abs and hips over in Fresno. You don't have to pick a telenovela, just a body part.
 

LOL! If I can ever get Hubs to sit down and watch one with me, I may not have to decide which of the three to watch. He'll want to watch all of them!
 

Sara, get CC3, that will seal the deal with your hubby....after a while he will want to know whats being said.

Now that I have CC3, my lady will get tired of reading and fall asleep. I tell her that I am watching to learn Spanish.....Yeah Right
