Una Familia Con Suerte #129-130 Mon 2/20/12
An Episode Full Of Confessions
Before we get on with today’s two episodes, we have a bit of recap from last Friday. The recap included Doña Fer confessing to Lupita about her lost son, Freddy confessing to Pepe and Monica about his kiss with Karina, and Vicente confessing to Enzo about his interest in Violeta.
We begin today’s show with a short scene with Ana letting Freddy know, once again, that she never wants to see him again. Poor Freddy.
Next we have another short scene when Arnold asks Pina to take care of his office. He’s on his way to Rome for some kind of cosmetic convention. Pina doesn’t understand Arnold’s behavior, but it’s obvious that he’s sad to leave and will miss her. Pina still considers Arnold her girlfriend, while Arnold thinks he wants something else on a more romantic level.
Pina then goes to see Pancho and gives him some graphic designs and other campaign information. Pancho is impressed and encourages Pina to keep doing a great job.
In his office, Christian is worried because he can’t find some files in a folder on his computer and fears they’ve been erased. His very able and pretty assistant Elena tells him not to worry because she can find whatever he needs. As she looks, she reminds him of their upcoming dinner. Christian makes a deal with her. If she finds what he needs, he’ll take her to dinner at the best restaurant in the city.
At the Lopez house, Candy and Chela are talking. Candy lets Chela know that she’s planning on residing with Vicente in the new apartment. Chela tries to talk some sense into her, but she’s unsuccessful. Candy is warned that Pancho will go ballistic and might want to kill Vicente for messing with Pancho’s little sister!
Pancho and Rebe talk about and plan their wedding. I think they’re also working and strategizing regarding a new advertising campaign. When everything is perfect, Rebe steps out to grab some papers and leaves her phone in Pancho’s office. Pancho notices that Rebe’s phone keeps ringing, and it’s Mike.
Doña Fer goes to Lupita’s room to see if they could talk. Lupita once again lets her know that the secret is safe. All of a sudden, she sees Lupita’s medallion and begins asking, kind of worked up, where and how she got it. Lupita is taken aback but calmly answers the questions. She tells Doña Fernanda that the medallion was miraculous because it saved her from death. As a young child, Lupita was very ill, and her parents thought she wouldn’t make it. The medallion belonged to Pancho who gave it to his daughter. Pancho had the medallion since he was born. It miraculously saved Lupita. Doña Fer hears the story, recognizes the medallion and begins putting two and two together. Hmmm. She asks to borrow the medallion and leaves in a rush. We find out she goes to Octavio’s office.
In Pancho’s office, he’s not too happy and lets Rebe know. When Rebe returns, he asks for some explanations.
We then have some very realistic scenes with Pepe and Monica. I’ll consolidate these scenes.
Monica lets Pepe know she’s at her wit’s end and is having a bit of a crisis with everything that’s been happening to her. In a way, she feels Pepe minimized some things. She lets Pepe know that her car was broken into, and as expected, Pepe is furious and about to let the neighbor have it. This gets Monica worked up even more. Monica asks Pepe for security regarding always being together. Pepe lets Monica know that little by little, time and effort on both their parts will help things settle for them.
They continue to talk, and Monica lets Pepe know about Violeta’s proposal regarding the San Diego trip. Pepe can read the handwriting on the wall and sees an easy way of escape for Monica. Monica says it’s a vacation or a trip that would do both of them good…a change of atmosphere. Pepe lets Monica know that his life and problems are in Mexico alongside her.
They can’t seem to agree about anything, and Pepe finally storms out and lets Monica know she’s free to go.
Outside of Lopez home, Vicente is waiting for Candy. Doña Fer is going somewhere. Vicente seems concerned or intuitive that something is wrong…or that she’s up to something. Candy comes out and they talk. He apologizes to her and then lies to her about working late and not being able to see her tonight. I don’t know if Candy is fully buying it. Vicente has a date with Violeta.
Back in Pancho’s office, he and Rebe have a discussion. Pancho is not happy that Rebe hid the fact that Mike kept calling. Rebe justified herself by repeating the fact that she didn’t want to talk with Mike because she hated him for all he did to her. Pancho can understand that, but he wonders why she gets so worked up whenever the topic of Mike comes up. Rebe really doesn’t have a good justifiable answer.
The discussion goes on, and they even talk about how they each had a past and should accept it and move on. Rebe really wants to make up with Pancho, and they do, but Pancho is still a bit skeptical. He asks her to never hide things from him, no matter how painful.
Fernanda goes to see Octavio and relates what happened with the conversation with Lupita and shows him the medallion. She’s positive it’s the same one because she tells him how it was specially designed with a special inscription. “I will always love you.” She’s sure Pancho is her long lost son and wants to tell Pancho and the whole world. Octavio wants her to take things easy and do things right. He suggests a DNA test, and she agrees.
At the Lopez house, folks worry about Doña Fer. Lupita informs Pancho and Rebe what happened and how she rushed off with the medallion.
Vicente heads for Octavio’s office to see what is going on with his Dear Aunt. They all talk, and while Octavio steps out, he catches a glimpse of where Octavio has her DNA sample. Uh oh. Not good.
Monica goes to see Violeta, who is on her way out. Violeta cancels with Vicente. Mother and daughter talk and dine together. While that’s going on, Pepe is with Tomas talking and venting.
Flirtatious and troublesome Elena is having dinner with Christian. She puts the moves on him. Oh boy!
Vicente meets with the lawyer. Oh man…he wants Doña Fer investigated. What a jerk. He wants no questions asked from the lawyer. He just wants the job done. Of course, this is a secret. Why the DNA test?
Lopez home. Candy has decided to leave and go live in the new apartment. She knows Pancho will go nuts but keeps telling herself that she’s her own woman. Yeah…sure.
Pancho and Doña Fer finally see one another and talk. She’s thrilled to see him. Pancho lets her know that he and the family worry about her and wonder if anything bad is going on. Just when she’s about to spill the beans, Candy comes in and gives Pancho the bomb shell news.
She tries to justify her actions. Pancho and Doña Fer aren’t buying it. He’s furious! Chela joins in the conversation. Pancho continues to try to convince Candy to do things right and not be “the other woman.” Candy lets everyone know that she’ll be happy, no matter what, and asks for a family bear hug. At first, nobody is quite sure what to do. They relent.
Christian and Elena. It’s late, and Elena wonders if Christian is going to take her home or not. They end up spending the night together. Hmmm. What Christian’s wife doesn’t know won’t hurt him…yet.
Candy is sad about how she left the house. She lets Vicente know how much she needs him.
Another talk between Pancho and Doña Fer. She thinks about everything that’s happened and tells him that their meeting was destiny. He wonders where the conversation is going and alludes to the conversation they were having before being interrupted by Candy. Now they get interrupted by Pepe, who lets them know things aren’t going so well.
Elena gets home at 3:00 AM, and Tomas asks for an explanation, which she refuses to give. Christian feels guilty but continues to think back to the night he spent with Elena. Not so guilty, eh?
Doña Fer is in Pancho’s room thinking back to the conversation she had with Octavio. Lupita sees her and asks what’s going on. Doña Fer also has what Octavio asks of Pancho regarding DNA.
At Avon, everyone is meeting and very interested in what Pina has come up with regarding the new ad campaign for natural cosmetics. Of course, Vicente is not interested and makes fun of her and her efforts. Nonetheless, Pina shows her work and is congratulated by everyone. Pancho commends her for her efforts and puts her in charge of the campaign. She’s showing her stuff!
At Pepe and Monica’s apartment, Monica is greeted by breakfast made by Pepe. He lets her know that he’s been thinking a lot about everything and will do her very best to give her the life of a queen. She bursts into tears and leaves the room. She says she doesn’t deserve him. Pepe isn’t quite sure what to do.
Doña Fer leaves the house and is being followed by the lawyer. The lawyer informs Vicente that Octavio and Doña Fer went to a lab to match DNA samples. He hears her say that she wants to confirm what she feels…that Pancho is her son.
Vicente needs to do something and asks the lawyer to find out who is in charge of the lab. Of course, we know that Vicente will do something to tamper with those results. What a jerk.
Enzo wants to know what Vicente is up to, and Vicente refuses to divulge information. It would be dangerous because he’s in love with Chela. Can Vicente trust Enzo? After some persuasion on Enzo’s part, Vicente capitulates.
Pepe goes to Avon and talks with Pancho and Rebe about making more money to give Monica a better life. He says he’s willing to quit school for a while and get a better or a full time job. Pancho and Rebe get him to see that everything takes time and effort. They try to get Pepe to reflect on everything. Hmmm. Was it too soon for them to move in together? Should they go back to being boyfriend/girlfriend until they get some more money and life experience and finish their careers? Think about it, kids.
While Pepe is at Avon, Monica is talking with Violeta. She’s sewing the seed of doubt in Monica. She tells Monica that Pepe is the one who doesn’t deserve a person like Monica, because Monica is a queen while Pepe is just a good looking nice poor guy.
Elena and Christian talk in his office and make plans to have another night together before his wife returns from Cancun. Right about then, Pancho walks in and asks Christian for a work related favor. He also checks up on Elena.
Vicente is on the phone with Doña Fer and invites her out to dinner. She’s suspicious. When he hangs up, Enzo asks him why he is interested in knowing who runs the lab where the DNA results are being examined. Oh Enzo…after all these years of working alongside of Vicente, you should know what your buddy is planning to do if the results are positive. Tamper!
Karina goes to Freddy’s house and is greeted by Pina. They talk over a cup of coffee. Karina feels guilty and confesses she has feelings for Pina’s son. We have yet another confession, huh? Pina is thrilled and begins imagining what it would be like to have Karina as a daughter-in-law.
Violeta takes Monica shopping. She lets her know that it’s the best type of therapy. Monica doesn’t argue with Violeta’s way of thinking. While Monica tries on clothes, Violeta’s phone rings. It’s Vicente. At the same time, he gets another call from Candy. While switching between calls, he is careless and apologizes to Violeta for leaving her hanging. That’s all well and good, except for the fact that it’s not Violeta who hears Vicente’s apology.
Lupita visits Doña Fer in her room, and they chat. Again, Lupita asks to know what’s going on, and Doña Fer is dying to tell her. We end the show as she is beginning to tell it all! One final confession!
Before we get on with today’s two episodes, we have a bit of recap from last Friday. The recap included Doña Fer confessing to Lupita about her lost son, Freddy confessing to Pepe and Monica about his kiss with Karina, and Vicente confessing to Enzo about his interest in Violeta.

Thank you JP for this great recap.This was an episode of confessions. I really thought Dona Fer would confess all to Lupe. Octavio is a good doctor besides being a good friend to Dona Fer. Octavio gave good advice to Dona Fer. Once the DNA results are in it will ease her mind, and we all know how they will turn out. I just hope Vins doesn't screw it up, but we know he will.
Poor Candy, she needs to dump Vins now. She used to be so independent and now she is leaning way too much on Vins. She should have stayed with Pancho and family.
Moni wasn't ready to move in with Pepe. She is so used to being spoiled, she can't seem to handle problems. Violetta isn't helping. Moni should have gone to Enzzo. He already knows what is going on.
Loved Pina and Freddy working all night on the campaign. I liked the Wow sign Freddy held up lol. I wish Freddy and Ana could work out their differences. Kari is nice but now that she confessed she likes Freddy, and she has to work with Ana I don't know.
I am not liking Joaquin. Poor Ana doesn't get a break. He is indeed a General.
That PI is the same one Pina hired to investigate Vins. That PI was so scared when Vins walked in the door lol. It's too bad the PI heard "I think Pancho is my son".
And Vins' reaction.
Ugh Elena. What is wrong with that girl??? I can't beleive she put the moves on Christian. And that stripper dance once they were in private, ugh. The poor guy, but he was loving it. I wonder if she will try to blackmail him later? She was wearing something not as slutty when Pancho came in that office as far as cleveage went. The skirt was still short. Tomas does really care about Elena. She was so rude to him. I am liking Tomas' new Luke. The jacket and shirt he was wearing was nice.
So in the advances we finally get to see Mike. Did he work for Avon in the States? I know Rebe worked for him and was involved with him.

Thomas wore a jacket and shirt? Oh, I just saw the shirtless scene. I like *that* new Luke lol.
I didn't really start paying attention until Moni sat down for breakfast. Violetta needs to go away....NOW.
Thanks so much for the recap JP. I don't know how you recappers have survived this long. Looneyvision has dumped a whole lot of two hours on you guys for almost the entire run of this thing. I'm sure you'll be glad when it's back to one hour.

Good recap......
Sara Violeta must stay......besides you have your man candy-Tomas. Let me have Violeta...lol
I hope Vivi is ok, things are heating up in Egypt. I would have to be paid a lot of money to even think about go to that part of the world.
I will pray for her safe return.

Thanks JP -- very complete & interesting read.
Of course Vince has to do something to mess up those DNA results. I was so irritated that the PI overheard Doña Fer mention Pancho by name.
Elena is so annoying. What is she thinking putting the moves on a married man. And what is with those gloves?? Her office wear is certainly an interesting take on business attire. And where does she get the money for this slutty but obviously expensive wardrobe? If she looked trashy and cheap it would be appropriate to her character -- but these expensive cocktail style dresses don't make sense.
I agree JP that the scenes with Pepe & Moni were quite realistic. It was sad, but very real, when Pepe gave in on the furniture (removing the plastic) and treated her to breakfast complete with flower -- but she felt so bad that she couldn't accept his attentions. Her mother needs to butt out (I won't wish her away because anon #1 is enjoying her so much -- Hey, Anon, I hope that's the only thing you have in common with Vince>)

I guess I spoke too soon. I hadn't seen the end of the show yet. In the last scene Elena WAS dressed in more normal clothes. It was funny that Pancho checks her out and tells her to dress more decently because Avon has standards -- he should have seen her yesterday with her tatas lolling on Christian’s desk.
I also hadn't yet seen the scene where Violetta tells Moni that it is not Moni who doesn't deserve Pepe but the reverse. I was so irritated by her snobbery but it was funny when she told Moni that love is not the "dream" that they sell on telenovelas -- and even funnier when she said "No es una día con suerte"

Thanks Jim!
So much for my hope that either Elena or Cristian would chicken out before things went too far. Now I'm wondering if Elena is hoping to get knocked up. She obviously considers it a valid tactic since she tried to threaten Fred with it before.
I noticed that the gloves came off during the striptease. Another theory shot to hell - I was just SURE those gloves were hiding a nasty scar or tattoo on one of her hands.
Have we seen Rebe's friend Barbara lately? Did she say she was going somewhere? Or did she run away to elope with Nico?? ;-)
And we finally got a good look at Mike - it's CadmilHo from MEPS! Did anyone notice if he's still orange?

Jim, thanks for all the detail. I am amazed how you captured it all so smoothly.
Elena places such a low value on herself. She doesn't like this guy - and he's not even rich. Doing this at Avon under Pancho's nose, she has no respect for Pancho or the family either.
I understand Moni wanting to take the trip with her mom, but also why Pepe would feel like he's being abandoned. Yep, they moved in together too soon.
Glad Vince told Enzzo about the DNA cause I know Enzzo will slip up and tell Chela.
Hope Karin turns down Pina's offer to help her get Freddy. If she wants Freddy, she should do it all on her own.

Loved the recap JP...very smooth and readable.
Looks like it's going to be a while before Pancho and Fernanda find out they're related...I'm sure Vince will deep-six it for now. Hate this long drawn out truth telling!...but that seems to be telenovela standard procedure.
Anon#1...thanks for praying for Vivi. I'm sure her parents are wanting all the prayers they can get...it's hard when a son or daughter travels in risky territory..but particularly a daughter.

Thanks mucho, Jim! I liked your running "what a jerk" commentary. So true.
I think Elena and Cristian deserve each other. They are both gross. I feel sorry for his family, though; they are bound to be hurt when they find out he'll fall into bed with the first tramp who shoves her ass(ets) in his face the moment they leave town.
Enzo agreed to try to find out what was going on, but I noticed he didn't exactly promise Vins he'd help him and keep secrets. I'm hoping he doesn't. Nasty of Vins to threaten his job, though. I'm hoping Enzo realizes he could throw his lot in with the good guys now and he wouldn't have to be Vins's lackey to avoid going back to washing cars.
I did not get what was so wonderful about Pina's campaign but I'm glad everyone liked it and just thought Vins was being childish.
Barbara went to Paris for awhile for some job.
Is it even possible that Roberto Palazuelos is going to play a guy who isn't a rapey snake?

Jim, thank you for the terrific recap. What a great read, especially with your astute editorial comments.
I loved it when Pancho commented to Elena that she was "coming to work very uncovered". And he didn't even see her slut-wear from yesterday.
Julia, did you hear the dicho that Ana used? It's one of my favorites: Otra ez la burra al trigo = Same old crap (about Joaquin). (Can also mean 'up to his/her old tricks')
Elena and Christian = barf. Gah, they both make me sick. He apologized to his wife's picture? What a doofus. Wouldn't it be awesome if wifey turned out to be like Gema (German's wife) from CME?
Bwahaha! Roberto Palazuelas the rapey snake is Mike? Julia, I'm sure he will turn out to be a complete douche-bag as usual. If not I will be completely shocked, just short of eating my beanie.

Sylvia, I think that dicho was on the vocab list a few weeks ago. I like that one. I'll check later and if it isn't already there I will add it.
Here is today's (with a few from Friday's show as well):
echarse un trompo a la uña - to do something really difficult (lit. to spin a top on one's fingernail)
en lontananza - in the distance
fuera de coto - out of control
ojos de borrego a medio morir - a lovesick facial expression (half-dead sheep eyes)
quehacer - work, chores
abolengo - ancestry
agasajo - honor, hospitable attention
ir a ver si ya pusó la marrana - to take a hike, scram

I can't believe I missed the "otra vez la burra" vocab entry. I must have been laughing too hard at one of the others and my eyes teared up to blur my vision. You've got some great ones from Friday and today. I think my favorite is the "ojos de borrego" one. It is perfectly descriptive.
Great vocab Julia. I remember the first time I came across "ojos de borrega a medio morir" and had a heckuva time figuring out what it meant. Now it seems so obvious.
JP, What a great recap. Your style is smooth, your insights deep, and your humor dry and crisp. Doesn't it sound like I just described a great single malt scotch? But it is so true.
It sounds like almost everyone is at some kind of crossroad again. We don't sit helplessly in doldrums even when it is frustrating that some characters are being so stupid and foolish. I am so disappointed with Elena's descent into deep skankhood! And Vicente needs to be hit by a cab on the way to screw up Doña Fer's mission to find her lost son. It will be so satisfying when Vice's plans are foiled. He always makes some idiotic mistake which keeps him from being seriously evil. He is a natural bungler.

When Candy got the slo-mo hugs and dramatic goodbye last night (so she could head all the way across town to her new apartment...and then pop back over the next morning like she'd never been gone...) I thought she was going to get run over by a truck on the way. I'm glad she didn't; I think she still has a chance of getting her act together.
