La Que No Podía Amar #63 Friday 3/23/12 Much Ado About Mgrito, or Don’t Cry For Me, Margarito!
Cap 63
Lo del Pasado:
Ulises is walking on thin ice with Macaria over his literally small town mentality when it comes to keeping Maripaz on a short leash and refusing to let her study for a career in psychology in Mexico City. Also, Rogelio nearly blows his stack when he and Ana Paula get the bad news from Ernesto that Margarito may never walk again. A pall has fallen over Paula and her posse.
Lo del Nuevo:
At Hacienda del Fuerte, a distraught Ana Paula informs the very worried Gustavo that Margarito may never walk again. It hurts Gus as much as her. He offers his shoulder to cry on and she tearfully takes it. Sinthia blows a gasket when she catches the two of them in mid hug’n hold. The two innocents, so pure of heart, trying gallantly to stay on the up and up for all the right reasons, can’t help but look guilty as sin to Sin.
Sinthia doesn’t accept Guscakes (admittedly) piss-poor excuse and carps to Ana Paula about not keeping her distance from El Gusto who’s all “mío”. Pau’s got her own man’s shoulder to cry on; and if she needs “to look for consolation” then to do it with Rogelio, her husband, and not with El Gusto! Sin begins draping herself, then, all over poor frazzled Guscakes and plants a possessive lip-lock on him for emphasis. He plays along, though perhaps (methinks) not as willingly as before. Embarrassed, and with her heart somewhat in pieces still, AP walks away rather disgusted at the outburst, to leave the two “lovers” to themselves.
Sin franticly apologizes to Guscakes for her jealous attitude, saying essentially that she doesn’t trust AP any further than she can throw her. Why, Paula turned Bro-Hell’s head in nothin’ flat, she exclaims, and she wouldn’t put it past her to do the same thing with him! Gus tells her to calm down and understand it was just like he said it was. Sinthia is still in panic mode. Any man Sinthia loves, smothering him in suffocating, territorial smooches, has got to be hers and hers only!! As Gus lets himself be pulled in by Sinthia’s ….uhm… rather excessive angst, it’s apparent that he has gotten to see in stark fashion the difference between his Cupcake Princess, Paula the Pink, and the brazen Boonies B!tch-witch of Rich raised in the wilds of Chiapas that he’s now chained himself to for spite. (I’ll drink to that! Bottoms up, Babycakes!)
Macaria stomps away from useless Uli’s homespun sputtering through the darkened streets of downtown San Gabriel all in a snit. A few blocks down the street she is accosted by none other than her one-night stand, aka, Efrain. Effer’s all hot to trot and suggests they try for another steamy bit of sheet time in a no-tell motel somewhere close by. Effer teases her about being the oh-so-desirable forbidden fruit, and says that he’s just the medicine she needs to salve that sore-spot of a hubby she’s got. They share a few stolen spit swaps in the darkened alley as Viewerville whittles Macaria a notch a few inches lower on the proverbial post.
Back in Rog’s office, Ernie’s explaining to him that he’s got to remain calm for Mgrito because a negative attitude from the two of them could do the boy harm emotionally and thus physically. Rog says that’s easy for him to say. He’s obviously got the speech down pat after giving it to so many patients. Ernie says that may be, but he’s come to understand the plight of those of his patients stuck in a wheelchair. Life goes on. It’s simply a matter of acceptance [aceptación].
Macaria refuses Effer’s invitation. Supposedly he was just testing her to see if there were still some sparks in the ashes left from their bedded bonfire the night before. Talk turns to Uli’s keeping her on such a tight leash that Macaria still hasn’t seen the letter he’s kept from her all these years. Macaria finally pulls herself away and tells him to find her later on. She’s got to git. Effer tells himself once she’s gone that if he can get his hands on that letter then he might be able to take advantage of it somehow. (Blackmail, anyone?)
In the kitchen, Maria is explaining to Rosaura that the reason Ro-Hell is feeling so depressed over Margarito is that he was just as bad off when they found him as Margarito is now. Rosie blows it off like it’s just the flu or something. “—Ehh! Doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing’s going to happen to the kid.” Paula walks in on them at that point and Maria is anxious to know the doc’s prognosis. Pau says they’ll just have to wait till the inflammation dies down before they’ll have any idea whether he will ever walk again. Rosie adds her two centavos’ worth to say they all hope it doesn’t come to that. (Yeah, what would she do with 2 invalids in Pau’s nuclear family then, poor dearie! The expense! Less for Rosie to get her hands on and to enjoy!!) Pau and Maria are devastated.
Macaria returns to the plop ‘n shop. The curiosity bug Effer’s dropped in her ear has gotten the best of her. She continues the same argument from before with Uli, even gripes about his hiding things from her. Maripaz walks in on them. Uli leaves with Maripaz for a chat. Macaria asks herself how many things Uli really is hiding from her and starts trying to pry open his locked metal file cabinets.
Meanwhile, Rog has gone back to the unconscious Margarito’s room and reminisces over the boy’s innocent mischief. If only they could return to that. Pau walks up at that point and, from the doorway, hears Rog telling the boy that he won’t let the two of them be separated; and that he doesn’t want him to suffer the same fate as his. The Cupcake is muy but muy impactada.
Back in town, Effer has followed Macaria back to her convenience store apparently under pretext of being unable to leave her alone. She pulls the screwdriver she’s using on him and warns him to keep his distance or better still, go to the bar. And, yeah, her curiosity has gotten the best of her. He takes the screwdriver and tries to open the drawer himself.
Pau walks into Mgrito’s room now also. Rog apologizes for his earlier outburst. It’s not easy being paralyzed and stuck in a wheelchair. (No duh!) Pau says he’s gotten on with his life and manages very well. The difference is, Rog points out, that he’d already sewn his wild oats before he became paralyzed. He’d seen the world and lived to enjoy it. Mgrito is still a little boy with his whole life ahead of him. The two decide they’ll both stay in the bedroom that night to watch over him.
Maripaz walks in on Macaria and Effer and asks what’s up. Macaria lies that there’s another rat roaming around the room that Effer’s trying to find.
Back at Hell-Fuerte, Maria walks in on the group of guests and Sin eating din-din in the dining room. She explains that Rog and Pau won’t be joining them for dinner tonight due to their wanting to stay by Margarito’s bedside. (Viewerville somehow doesn’t see AP putting herself out there to be Mersnotty’s and Sin’s target tonight or any night. If she’s smart she’ll eat with Rog up in her bedroom till Miss Merciless decides to head back to Tuxtla. Of course, this begs the question: doesn’t Miss Mercy have a job waiting for her? Just how many vacation days does the woman get, anywho?) MentiRosa shows up about then expecting to eat with her familiars till she notices all the obnoxious guests in the dining room without her. Sin has news for Rosie. Nada doin’ since Bro-Hell and Paula aren’t coming down tonight. She’s not welcome! We’ll see about that, is Rosie’s reply. Maria shows up and tells Rosie to be a bit more prudent, i.e., discreet, and to stay away!! Rosie thinks to herself afterwards that there’s no way she’d be eating at the same table with Gustavo and his snooty sis! As if!!
After dinner’s done, Sin grabs Gus and heads off in order to leave Ernie and Mercedes alone to discuss their situation. We hear more of the same: Merciless rejects Ernie’s advances once again because his spoiled teenaged daughter refuses to accept her as a stepmother. (Take a hint, Ernie. It takes one to know one and Mercedes knows what she’s talking about! You can do better! Like Nurse Daniela for instance? Hmmmm! Now that would be a winning combination!)
At the same time in the living room, Gus gets after Sin for leaving his sis with the tempting Ernesto. At times, he explains, it’s best not to let one’s self get carried away with a few days of momentary passion. Anyway, it’s cost her a great deal of effort to maintain her distance from Dr. Ernie. Can’t she see that? (What? This spoiled, impetuous, rich-b!tch wildcat? Gus, you are so screwed up!) Sin says he is talking as if it had happened to him. (Oh yeah! Just wait, you screwball b!tch. You have no idea!!!) Gus admits he did live through something like it. Of course, Sin doesn’t know the half of it. (If Karma plays any part in this at all, she is going to wish she hadn’t gotten anywhere near ol’ Babycakes! Again, must see t.v.!!) However, Gus says, looking into her eyes, he found his way and there she was in it—er…he found her on the way. Sin smiles innocently at him and says they must have been destined to meet and to fall in love. He answers her with more smoochie-koochie (but whether it’s to prove it to her or to himself, we don’t really know).
In San Gabriel again, Maripaz tells Macaria she wants her freedom, not to be tied down like her parents did to her. Uli races back in and it’s the argument in redux deluxe. Finally Macaria threatens that if Maripaz leaves she’s going with her and divorcing Uli!!
In another part of Hell-Fuerte, meantime, Oh-Hell is feeling really down. He rolls his way into the abandoned family chapel and lights a candle for Mgrito. He tells the diosito that the boy needs a chance. He’s lost out with Rog cuz Ro-Hell hasn’t enough faith left in him anymore. Pau does, though, he adds. “--Do it for Paula’s sake. She has plenty and maybe that will be enough.” Rog then blows out the candle and rolls back out the way he came.
Later that night Rog wakes Paula by yelling in his sleep during another panic-filled nightmare. Paula tells him to have faith that Mgrito will get well. He reminds her that he lost it a while ago. No problem. She has enough and she’ll pray for the both of them. Rog watches her at the little corner altar in her bedroom and stays respectfully quiet.
The next morning, Ernie is on the balcony of the hacienda with Mersnotty and reminds her again how much he loves her. He kisses her and walks away. She secretly smiles. FF>>
Maria, meanwhile, races into Margarito’s room to get Paula so she can show her the surprise Rogelio has for her.
Across the balcony in Michael’s room, Rosie mentions that Rog was thinking of buying the neighboring ranch, La Negra, for Paula but that somebody had already bought it and Rog wants to buy it for her from them. They’ll need to find out who it was then. Mikey tells her that Bruno’s probably already doing exactly that. After a moment he asks her if she really thinks Bruno can be trusted. She says why not when he’s the one who’s helped them out the most these past few months? She changes the subject to him convincing his sister that she should accept the ranch from Rog. Mikey fights the idea because it’s only one more thing that’s tying them down to Ro-Hell. They’re drowning in his “good will” and gift-giving. Ro-Hell may love Pau and all, but he’s got a strange way of showing it, he says. Mikey suddenly refuses to go along with anymore. From now on they will manage to get by on their own and through their own effort. Riiiiiiight, says Rosie. He can’t even take care of himself! “--Look at you! You’re nervous and obsessed, a slob! Accept it Michael! We need Rogelio Montero’s help whether we like it or not!”
Pau walks onto the balcony and Rog opens the door to the chapel which is now spotless and shining, fully lighted with candles, and filled with fragrant white roses. (Darn! I wonder how many little elves he had to have to get the place spruced up so fast.)
Bruno stops by David’s office later that morning for a quick meeting. Big Dave’s taking a trip in order to buy the poison he plans to put into the cattle’s feed. Bruno reminds him to keep his lips zipped around both Vanessa and Sinthia. Vainie walks in and greets them both at that point. Bruno tells her that he has the documents ready for the notary to sign. Yep, the sooner the better, she says all bidnez-like. He explains that she needs to get to it since Rog has mentioned he wants to buy La Negra to give to Paula. Nessa sniffs. “—As if she deserved it!” “—He wants me to find out who bought it and is willing to make another offer, to the new owner. Just think of how upset he’ll be to find out you’re the new owner.” “--Yeah, and think of how upset he’ll be when he isn’t getting water from it either. It will be hard for me to keep my big mouth shut quiet but I'll have to do it."
Once Bruno’s gone, Big Dave informs Nessa that he’s leaving town to get the poison for the feed. She’s upset that he’ll be away at the same time they’ll be turning off the water to Rogelio’s property. Can’t be helped, he says. She reminds him news travels fast around there in that small town, so to be extremely discreet. He’s going to Tuxtla, he says, and will delay a while not to call attention to himself; the people he knows there are being paid plenty for their silence. “--Good, because nothing will stop me from getting my way about this!”
Paula takes Rog’s hand in hers and prays in the chapel as he looks on. FF>>
Outside, a shirtless Hugo is laying sod or something. Dani shows up and asks if he needs her to get him something to drink. Mikey runs up and tells her he’s been set free to wander the grounds by himself whenever he wants now. She says, rather disinterestedly, that she doesn’t know whether that’s a good thing or not. He may be free of the police but not from the desire to drink. He gets upset and says he’s stopped for sure. Yeah, that’s what they all say, she replies flatly. He stops her in mid-topic and so she immediately blows him and his dorky attitude off. Sure she’s happy that he’s in good spirits and such, but it really doesn’t matter to her anymore. (Translation: Have a nice day, you mucked-up jackass! I am tired of you and bored with it already. Now get the F outta my way!!) As if that put down wasn’t enough, Hugo starts in on him, too, now.
Meanwhile, in a three hankie scene, Mgrito wakes up and wants to know if he’ll be able to walk again or to climb trees and run through the grounds-- or will he end up crippled in a wheelchair and cranky like Ro-Hell. Rog has rolled past and heard this last comment of Mgrito’s. (Viewerville notes that Rog wasn’t exactly pleased to hear Mgrito’s spot on description of El Boss.) Paula promises Mgrito that no matter what happens she will never desert him. Rog rolls in at that point and forgives the boy for not listening to him when he warned him to stay off the trellises. He then assures Mgrito that neither he nor Paula will leave his side or ever abandon him. He’ll always be well-cared for. Margarito is chipper and full of smiles once he hears this. (Insulin Alert! Too much happy, happy, joy, joy for one person to swallow! My blood sugar runneth over. Blechhhh!!!)
Outdoors again, Hugo asks Mikey if he really loves Dani. Sure, replies Mike, for years before I ever told her. So pretty! We were in love but things changed when I ended up in jail. Then the drinking and things won’t change till I’m better. Well, says Hugo, your drinking has driven her off the rails. She’s better off looking to find happiness with somebody else. “--Like who for instance? Like You?” Damn straight, says Hugo! “--I’d give my life to make her happy if she’d say yes to me!” (Oh, Hugo! You do seem sincere, but, this segment of Viewerville considers you akin to The Green Giant and your supposed celluloid sex appeal is, well, non-existent.)
Ernie walks in to examine Margarito. Rog tells him he’d like to have him stay for a few days till the boy shows some improvement. Ernie says he can’t because he’s still got patients in Tuxtla. Rog offers to fly him in and back daily by helicopter if need be. Ernie’s says he’ll consider it. (Hey, I’d take him up on it, Ernie, if you’re that stuck on Ms. Mercy. She’s wavering as well as quavering. No time like the present to be present!)
Outside again, Hugo tells Mikey he has no intention of getting better. If he did, he’d throw himself into his work and forget all about drinking! Mike has no idea how to treat a woman, Hugo says, and if he really loved Dani he’d never be the gross jerk and Grinch around there that he’s been to her and everyone else there that’s done all they could to help Mikey out! As it is, everyone is sick and tired of his one-man pity party!! He ought to be making a man of himself instead of wandering about the place waiting for somebody else to solve his problems for him—and not for Dani’s sake, but for his own! (Ok, Hugo!! You’ve earned points, but Green Giants still aren’t my cuppa cuppa.) Mikey tells Hugo to just keep his mouth shut and leave well enough alone since he doesn’t know as much as he thinks he does about what’s been going on there.
Back in town, Uli tells his troubles to Effer. He’s always been faithful to Macaria and has taken his promise to make a life for her to heart, yada, yada, yada. Effer pretends to empathize with him and tells him to run after Macaria, to explain things and to convince her not to leave. He promises to look after the office while Uli takes a break. Of course, as soon as Uli’s gone he takes the keys Uli has just used to lock the drawer in question and reopens it. (Duhn-duhn-duhn!!!)
At Hell-Fuerte, Merciless tells Gus that she’s becoming dream-eyed again about Ernesto, having spent time alone here away from the rest of the world. Gus agrees that one cannot stop loving simply by decree [por decreto]. He realized that when he hugged Ana Paula the other day. Everything came rushing back [remover = to dig up, stir up, revive]. Mersnotty gets frustrated with him and asks why he did it! Didn’t he think about Sinthia or about Ro-Hell? Sure, he says, but he still couldn’t avoid it. Mercedes tells him it’s better that they just leave the hacienda. Gus says it way too late for that. He’s already committed to working on Rog’s projects and besides, there’s Sinthia to consider. They’re going together and he doesn’t want her to get hurt. Well then, advises Big Sis, watch it when you’re around that female! “--Look, tell me the truth. Are you sticking around here in the hacienda because of your work or in order to be near Rogelio Montero’s wife??!!” (At least Jose Ron does do puzzled rather convincingly.)
Meanwhile, it only takes a couple of minutes before Effer discovers the letter from Mgrito’s mama that he was looking for.
Alone with Rog again, Pau tells Rog that she wants Margarito protected and safe. He says they’ll adopt him. Margarito will have his name and will be provided for economically. She reminds him they already discussed that and nixed it because their marriage isn’t a real one, and once the contract is up, she’s gone for good. He says no, it’s a legal marriage and so they’ll adopt him; and when the contract is up, well, they’ll get divorced and she’ll get to take the boy with her.

Brilliant Jardinera. I don't know about you and alliteration. Just seems to roll out of your brains. I love it.
"the difference between his Cupcake Princess, Paula the Pink, and the brazen Boonies B!tch-witch of Rich raised in the wilds of Chiapas that he’s now chained himself to for spite. (I’ll drink to that! Bottoms up, Babycakes!)" —and that was just the beginning!
"...Like Nurse Daniela for instance? Hmmmm! Now that would be a winning combination!" —I could see that!
"(Ok, Hugo!! You’ve earned points, but Green Giants still aren’t my cuppa cuppa.)"— I liked Hugo better when he didn''t talk.

Thank you Jardinera. I'm with you on the Hugo front. I like him, he's nice, has a good body, but that's it. But I do hope Daniela likes him too. They would be sweet together.
I worry that AP and Gus will find there way to be back together. From the avances, it looks like it could happen. And after Mersnooty asked him about his feelings for her and his lack of response, yikes.
I'm hoping that Margarito tells AP what Rosaura said to him. She needs to know the kind of person she is.
I was wondering that if AP does turn out to be pregnant, and she doesn't want to cause trouble with Rog, that maybe she'll pull a typical pregnant with another man's baby and sleep with Rog. Then tell him it's his and it's premature.
Now I think it's possible that Effer wants to know about the letter because he suspects who might be the parents and he wants to confirm it. Maybe for blackmail purposes.

Well I for one am perfectly fine with Hugo's celluloid sex appeal. Shirtless Hugo > Alcoholic, unibrow Miguel. Better for Dani. Better for us. )He's the yin to Cynthia's ab-revealing yang).

Excellent recap Jardinera. I too wonder how they got the decrepit, grimy, cobwebbed infested, chapel clean that fast and the next day no less.
While AP was praying, Rog just stared blankly at her having lost his faith after his accident. I wonder will he eventually regain his faith or stay a non-believer.
Efrain has the letter. Will he open so we can finally find out who is Margarito's parents.
One minute Rog is saying he doesn't want to be separated from the boy and the next he's telling AP that after they divorce she can take the boy with him. Bad writing perhaps or I guess I need to adjust my beanie?

Jardinera:
Wonderful recap. Hugo was a little wooden, no? Oh, well.
I loved your take on Cinthia as mentioned by LXV, "Brazen Boonies bitch-witch of Rich." Gawd that's good. I have taken a real dislike to Cinthia since she betrayed her brother and herself. Snooty, slutty and stupid is not an attractive combination. Plus she is uninterested in Margaro's fate, witch.
Thanks again for writing such a thorough and well-written recap.

AP doesn't strike me as the type of vindictive person who would do that. Rosaura, on the other hand, would have pulled a stunt like that if she was younger.
AP seems like a decent person and she wouldn't want to deceive Rog. If she does turn out to be pregnant she may just out and tell him and hope he doesn't blow a gasket. Just my own speculation.
Judging from the previews, she lets Gus read the contract and it looks like they may be getting closer as a result.

You're spot on about Macaria going down a few notches. "Meet me later" doesn't show much remorse for her lapse. And Efrain is a serial indiscreet person. They have their tete-a-tete right in the street in public, just like him and Sin.
I loved Hugo the peon putting Miguel in his place! It's like, "even us supposed simple folk can see how screwed up you are."
Would it be possible for AP to pass off a pregnancy as by Rohell? I mean, that implies some things which have been implied to be impossible. Everybody freely comments on Rog's reproductive abilities, and the consensus is that he "no puede tener hijos."

Another TN rule is that if one prays for an outcome, that outcome happens. So since they are praying for Margarito, he won't end up being paralyzed.
Wow, you really rolled out the snark Jardinera! It was awesome! I especially liked this part: "As Gus lets himself be pulled in by Sinthia’s ….uhm… rather excessive angst, it’s apparent that he has gotten to see in stark fashion the difference between his Cupcake Princess, Paula the Pink, and the brazen Boonies B!tch-witch of Rich raised in the wilds of Chiapas that he’s now chained himself to for spite. (I’ll drink to that! Bottoms up, Babycakes!)". I second the drink to that!
New word for me in this TN - desaliñado: messy, unkempt, slovenly. Andar desaliñado - to have a slovenly appearance. In general this TN has been using andar (to go about; to hang out) in many different contexts. I don't think I've ever heard a TN use it so much. It's a very useful abstract word! My favorite is andar de rogona - to go about begging after someone (usually a novio/a); to be needy.

Bien hecho, Jardinera. My favorite lines were:
Pau walks onto the balcony and Rog opens the door to the chapel which is now spotless and shining, fully lighted with candles, and filled with fragrant white roses. (Darn! I wonder how many little elves he had to have to get the place spruced up so fast.)
Fabulous mixed metaphor there!
Insulin Alert! Too much happy, happy, joy, joy for one person to swallow! My blood sugar runneth over. Blechhhh!!!)
Can you tell I hate Hallmark cards?
Let's agree on one thing: The idea that Rogelio can't do what it takes to have children is what every other character in the story is determined to believe. And believing it himself is all it would take to make that true. But if this is not the case I think it would probably take some time for him to get his groove back after seven years of being out of it. So if the Cupcake has a bun in the oven already she would have to fake a premature birth somehow. I don't see her being OK with doing that. She's not Carmina Orangina.
On the other issue: I know that AP believes that Margarito is a good kid (and we know he is) but it will take a lot more than his account of events to get her to realize what an evil bitch her aunt is.

Jardinera, such an intense episode, yet you managed to bring some brilliant sparks of snark. Gracias.
Efrain said the letter would be useful to him. Maybe not as blackmail for money, but he desperately wants his job back at Del Fuerte and now that the way back is not through Sinsin, he'll try Rogelio directly.
He's sure that Rogelio has an interest since Margarito is under his protection. I think he knows that Paula and Rogelio are actively seeking his parents (or were before her escape). It'll be worth double if the father turns out to be someone in Rogelio's family.
At least we know the mother's name is Sandra--and we haven't actually seen her. She is probably dead. I still don't think the woman that brought Margarito was his mother--maybe it was a madrina or hermana who could no longer take care of him.
In the last scene Rogelio offers to let Pau take Margarito with her is she's still going to leave once the contract is up and get divorced. It seems like either a slick maneuver or something he made up on the spot in desperation.
With this promise he can persuade her to go through with the adoption, eliminating her one big objection--what happens to the boy when she leaves. To himself, Rogelio is hoping that it won't come to that. He's convinced he can keep Ana Paula with him, or at least in the rancho next door (too bad, that ship sailed, Rogelio).
Meanwhile, I don't think Maria would be too happy letting Margarito just go away with Ana Paula. The deciding moment is still a way off and more negotiations are probably in store.

Pirate Babe--My throat closed up watching Rogelio in the chapel with Ana Paula. He saw how moved she was. He respectfully watched--and heard--her supplication.
I saw him with his jaw line clenched and firm. He could have been trying to keep his emotions in check to keep from crying. He could also have still been angry that this god of Paula's abandoned him and let this identical accident happen to a child.

Jardinera, another marvellous recap. Like everyone else, I loved the Bitch-witch of Rich line. I also enjoyed "Macaria returns to the plop ‘n shop" and "My blood sugar runneth over."
I too wondered how the dusty, desolate, deserted chapel could be transformed literally overnight. Seeing this, I reached for the beanie tightener.
I'm still trying to figure out how the plot will deal with a pregnant Ana, if in fact she is. I'm still hoping that the writers are toying with us.

Ok, admit it Rogelianas, you sort of like the idea of AP having sex with Rog to have him believe he's the father. And then she realizes that he's a way better lover than Guscake,(you know he would be), and decides to stay with Rog. And in the process he realizes that he still has it. I would love it if that happens.

I hadn't thought of it that way Anita. I like your interpretation better than mine.
I also liked the background music in that scene too.

@cathyx I think Rog is definitely a better lover than Gus (he did say there are other ways to please a woman). If Rog and AP do congress I think she'll be like Gus who lol.

Thank you Jardinera for this great snarky recap. I too loved the line "Cupcake Pincess,Paula the Pink and The Brazen Boonies B!tch witch of Rich raised in the wild of Chiapas.... That was too funny and a perfect description.
Sin and the draping is getting really old. And the mio thing. She acts as if the Guscakes is a piece of property meant only for her.
I think Effer is going to blackmail whoever the parents are of Mgrito. I really thought Macaria would succumb again, but she didn't. Still she was liking that kiss of Effers alot.
Loved the family chapel, and who would have thought Rohell would ever go there. That was a real surprise. I am glad he cleaned it up for the Cupcake.
I like Hugo. I am glad he lit into Miguel, who really deserved everything Hugo said.I'm glad Dani dissed Miguel he so deserved it.
That Tia is on my last nerve. So cold-hearted. I hope a big anvil drops on her in the end.
So now Lord Shadydeals is going to poison the cattle feed along with Bruno and Vainy, and no water to boot. I can't wait until they are found out.

Loved the recap, excellent snark! Thank you so much! I loved some of your lines and especially the one about "Paula the Pink" and comparing it to the B*tch-witch of Rich"! LOL. Yes, we're all getting sick of Sinthia, aren't we?
Hugo is a nice guy, beautiful body. So his acting isn't hitting it out of the park, but I like the idea of him and Dani together. Miguel "The Weakest Link" needs to see that Dani is willing to MOVE ON. She's been weeping over him for too long as he tries to push her away. So now he can consider himself successful—he pushed her away, and into the hunky arms of Hugo! Ha, take that, unibrow! LOL.
I don't think Cupcake would be cruel enough to sleep with Rog in order to fool him that the kid is his (if there is a kid). Rog is so desperate, almost, for any crumb of affection from her. For her to have sex with him would just make him over the moon, and he'd never want to let her go, never never never. Like he doesn't want to let her go now, imagine how he'd be after that. He'd have all sorts of hope and then what a letdown and betrayal when he finds out her motives. Poor Rohell doesn't deserve that.
What she needs to do is to be honest with him ASAP, even about the Gustavito. But since this is a telenovela, I guess we can't expect her to do the best thing or the smartest thing, can we?
I agree that Rohell offered to let her take Margarito with her after they divorce because he's desperate. He figures that in time it'll be harder for her to go. He wants the kid to "bind" them together. Even if they divorce, the kid will give him an "excuse" to keep seeing her and Margarito himself will want them to get back together, thus adding more pressure on Cupcake to return to Rog. I saw the wheels whirring in Rohell's devious head when he first suggested adopting Margarito—he knows it's a way to tie the Cupcake to himself forever.

Jardinera, thanks for another sublime Saturday satire. I only caught the end of this one and you made the rest of it come to life.
Macaria's excuse "that there’s another rat roaming around the room that Effer’s trying to find"? That's easy--all he has to do is look in the mirror!
I was surprised Rohell told AP they could divorce and she have custody of Margarito. That's a big difference from his previous attitude/plans. I guess he's hoping that things will improve before it comes to that.

The thing about the tainted feed leading to the tainted meat gets me... can the meat be tested or does one have to wait for someone to eat it to observe the damage?
Could Vainessa's company get screwed? Is Skelator or Lord ShadyDeal looking to take it over?
Could Vainessa's company get screwed? Is Skelator or Lord ShadyDeal looking to take it over?
The tainted meat cannot be sold. Yes, Vainessa's company will be screwed big time. Rogelio is her only supplier, and now they have lucrative US contracts to supply meat. Skelator and David know this which is why they are hiding their plan from Vainessa. They simply don't care that Vainessa will be ruined by their revenge against Rogelio.

Fabulously sassy recap, like LXV I noticed all the alliteration. Thank you for all that hard work, your recaps are the highlight of my weekend.
Kelly-ITA shirtless giant Hugo > alcoholic, unibrow Miguel. Miguel is more than alcoholic, he's, well, a shlmeel.
I really wonder who Margarito is related to. Rohell talked about already having sowed his wild oats. Wonder if Margarito is one of those oats.

Thanks, J., for the fun, funny recap.
Melodrama at every turn last night, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The acting redeems the cliches and blood-sugar spikes. JS so owns the role. Many of the other actors, e.g, Susana G., are very good in this TN.
Interesting point about the use of "andar". I missed it entirely! Thanks, Audrey.

BLess you! You have a wonderful gift for language and humor. Loved "Bitch-with of Rich" and posing the question of Merciless: Just how many vacation days do you have?
In addition to your comment about how this is "must see TV", I have to add, "Must read your comments." You are too good!!
Oh-Hell was particularly handsome in his pain.

Hi Traveling Lady! I'm glad you enjoyed my little vocab contribution. It was Tia MentiRosa would complained to Miguel that he was so "desaliñado". And a few episodes ago Rogelio kept complaining about Cinthia "andar de rogona" after Gustavo. No question about it, Cinthia is a rogona - a beggy, needy, clingy person when it comes to novios and best friends. But Rogelio is the pot calling the kettle black - andar de rogona (or rogón) is what he has been doing all this time - begging, imploring AP to fall in love with him, to just give him a little of her affection. In fact, I think this TN could have been secondarily titled Andar de Rogón/Rogona since there is so much of it.
BTW I'm always enjoying that heliconian butterfly you have as your icon. You must have shot it traveling in the tropics somewhere, or in some enclosed butterfly garden. It's not a US species.

Shot in Costa Rica at the butterfly garden near Poas volcano. Great eye, Audrey. Wish I knew more about the various species, as you do. I just enjoy their colorful look and serenity they seem to represent.
It just occurred to me that we should all take note of the full and half moons shown between scenes in order to measure the passage of time, which is otherwise easy to lose track of. When I get home later and rewatch tomorrow night's episode I will make note of any of those in my recaps henceforth.
I'm backing Hugo as the new love interest for Daniela. He may be a servant, but to be the personal assistant of the patron carries some status (bet he has a better room than Efrain did).

Emarie, I too have been wondering whether RoHell is Margarito's father. My guess is that he is.
Audrey, I want to add my thanks for the helpful info about andar. Much appreciated.

Cathyx: ITA-yes, about prayer in TNs. Not only did AP pray, but more importantly, Rohell, a staunch non believer takes a little step of faith and prayed. The prayer has to be answered.
Anita-I was also watching that scene with my breath held. Gosh, that JS is good.
Urban-didn't know they used the moon in TNs for time, but now that you mention it they do show the moon. I notice they use hair length sometimes.
Audrey, thanks for the mention of the use of Andar.
andaba en cena romántica-going on a romantic dinner.
Andar esperando-waiting
And ándale is used constantly.
If AP were pregnant, and IF the writers have her have sex with Rohell to hide the pregnancy, it will show their inconsistency. The AP character would not do that, and no way would she get a divorce. I'm just hoping she's not pregnant.

Traveling Lady: FYI your butterfly is a Sara Longwing a.k.a Sara Heliconian. It is native to Central and South America. You can find it in this online butterfly guide from University of Florida Museum of Natural History. My husband and I visited their Rainforest Butterfly Exhibit once and it was fantastic. I thought they might have your butterfly. University of Florida Rainforest Exhibit Butterfly Guide: Blue
My husband is an avid butterfly photographer which is why I know about these things. We have a butterfly garden in our back yard - I designed it - and we have counted 84 butterfly species so far. :)

Thanks, Jardinera. I think the elves conjured up a completely new chapel. I was trying to spot the statue Rogelio was looking at in the first scene somewhere in the clean new chapel and it was nowhere to be found.
Thanks, Audrey. What an excellent hobby your husband has! I'll have to consult that website for the names of some other butterflies I photographed.
I'll have to share the name with some friends who also like my little mariposa icon.

GatoViejo: Thank you again so much for your CC and translation at the link you gave us. I look at it daily, so helpful for someone learning español.
Gato Viejo--I noticed that, too (about the statue). The elves must have put it in the recycle bin. There's no other explanation.
They even got the floors shiny and installed a celestial choir.
Please don't let such small details torture you, though. This is an otherwise very smartly written, directed, filmed and edited novela.

Perhaps the statue is in one of the transepts. This is an especially large and elaborate chapel for a private home.
It was probably very common during the colonial period to have a chapel in a hacienda of this size. Remember that the workers probably rarely left the grounds and the patrons not much more frequently.
I guess this means that Rogelio's days as an atheist are numbered.

Hi, all! I've been gone all day. Glad to have brought a few smiles or snickers, depending, to your weekend.
I am so ready for The Mean Girls to get their come-uppance, and I don't know how Rog will do it, but I am certain he'll pull a rabbit out of that black hat of his and manage to buy La Negra out from under Vainessa at the last minute before the paperwork is finalized/notarized or whatever it takes down there legally. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about that one. I'm also hoping that the cattle feed deal hurts only Vainessa and not Rog and that the whole thing backfires on that group of scheming scorpions.

I just became current with LQNPA and want to take advantage to thank all the recappers. I love reading the recaps and comments after watching my recorded episodes.
Just a couple of general comments: Miguel is a fine actor. I do not like the character one bit, but he is certainly consistent and believable
Fun fact: the actor was in the last telling of the story, Te Sigo Amando
Cinthia reminds me of people I have known who were mildly mentally challenged. She is unaware of the motives of people around her, easily led, inappropriate in her relationships. Also, Rogelio pretty much tries to keep her with him and under his watch. He does not trust her on her own. This disability is not easily perceived in everyday interactions. I think we will see why he has been so controlling of her and why the will was written as it was
Margarito is a delight. There have been many comments about his manners. He is exactly as boys that age are. Bursting in and saying what is on his mind. Loud. Active. Especially a boy who has not been raised but "just growed"
Well that is it for now. Probably be weeks before I am caught up again.
Thanks again to recappers

I'd love to see the evil ones foiled in their scheme, but there are too many episodes left to think that things won't go south for a while before they are unmasked completely.
Excellent recap Jardinera. I too wonder how they got the decrepit, grimy, cobwebbed infested, chapel clean that fast and the next day no less.

Jardinera, it's true. The things that roll out of your brain, at least regarding telenovelas, are a wonder to behold. I've agreed with so many of the comments already made, but in addition, I enjoyed Gus as El Gusto!. And, name evolution is alive and well with Rogelio--->Rohell--->Bro-Hell. Loved it.
For some reason, I really got a kick out of your following commentary re: Gus' warning not to be carried away by momentary passion:
"Sin says he is talking as if it had happened to him. (Oh yeah! Just wait, you screwball b!tch. You have no idea!!!)"
I'm also hoping Rohell will be able to foil the Evil Trio and buy La Negra before the deal is finalized.

Beanie manufacturers are seeing an increase in bidnez these days in Viewerville at all levels of design.....

Jardinera: Poignant, interesting, witty and wonderful.
Your style is amazing. Loved every word.
I'm thinking Ernesto might be the perfect person to stand up to Sin. I'm kind of hoping that might be a future match (opinion only, no spoiler). I still see Mercedes with Esteban simply because Ernesto's daughter will never accept Mercedes. She knows it and we do too.
I respectfully disagree on the subject of Hugo. (Jardinera, usually we have the exact same taste). I think he's kind of cute. Maybe he's not the typical hottie, but for heaven's sake, this cast is overloaded with hawtness already! At least he appreciates Dani. I also think Miguel has better chemistry with Consuelo (poor thing!).
Thanks Jardinera for making my Monday.

Jardinera, terrific recap. Most of my favorite lines s have already been noted, but this one's really cute too: “A pall has fallen over Paula and her posse.”
I like Hugo getting into Miguel's case. Dani needs a distraction, but I do fear hunky Hugo might be headed for hurt.
At least Miguel is wondering if they can trust Bruno. Miguel, everybody knows you're an alcoholic, but Bruno the lawyer sneaks you booze. Think about it.
Agree with those who think AP would never set up Rogelio to believe the baby is his, if she is pregnant. To me, the whole story hinges on her being true with Rogelio. She hasn't lied to him about still being in love with Gustavo – she just hasn’t told him Gustavo’s at the hacienda, and he hasn’t asked.

Jarocha, please stand by for questions in the next discussion.
GatoViejo, where is the link for your site? I may need its help when I finally go back to work.
Gracias.
Gracias.
I think I'm doing tomorrow's episode? And I believe Sara is out of town for most of the week. Who is doing a recap for Wednesday? I see that last Wednesday's recap never materialized, BTW. Don't know what happened there. This Wednesday should be Sara's turn, but I don't think she'll be back in time.
I can "fill in" for this Wednesday (like I did before that one time) with a brief bulleted-list-screencap-heavy recap, just so we have a summary and a place to discuss. Or if someone else wants to fill in for Wednesday (or has already been arranged to fill in), please speak up now!
Re: Rohell and his loss of faith. I think they're using his unbelief (and gradual regaining of that faith) as another way to demonstrate his eventual redemption. (No spoiler, just what I've thought all along.) He was raised religious, and it seems to me he is more mad at God than "done" with God. When he reconciles himself with his whole life situation, my feeling is that he'll reconcile himself with his faith as well.
I can "fill in" for this Wednesday (like I did before that one time) with a brief bulleted-list-screencap-heavy recap, just so we have a summary and a place to discuss. Or if someone else wants to fill in for Wednesday (or has already been arranged to fill in), please speak up now!
Re: Rohell and his loss of faith. I think they're using his unbelief (and gradual regaining of that faith) as another way to demonstrate his eventual redemption.

I volunteer to recap this Wednesday's episode. I already have Elvira's email, so I can email it to you Elvira to post for me.

I won't have any screens caps though - I don't have any recording type setup. So Elvira you will be welcome to add any screen caps you fancy.

Audrey, that will work out fabulously. Just email me your recap and I'll add the screen caps! Sounds like a perfect solution! :D YAY!
Elvira/Audrey:
Sara arranged for Alexandra to do this week's recap, but I don't know what happened to her last week or if she'll remember this week. If somebody wants to do a quick one for just in case I don't mind, but I wouldn't post until we know for sure where Alexandra's is or we're forced to give up on the waiting.

Oh, alright. Thanks for letting us know, Jardinera.
