Una Familia Con Suerte #183-184 Wed 3/28/12

We begin our show with Ana saying goodbye to Freddy and the family. She’s getting ready to go on her tour through Mexico and promote her album. Once again, it’s a time for the family (Enzo included) to be together and wish her luck.
As Ana leaves, Enzo notices that Chela isn’t feeling well and takes her home. We have a cute scene where Chela is playing this sick card a little bit. Poor Enzo is worried and ready to take her to the hospital. He notices something’s up, and Chela admits that she’s having some fun with him and lets him know that even if she felt bad, all of her problems seem to vanish when he’s with her. Well…almost all of them vanish, as she runs to the bathroom and throws up. Pregnancy stuff, I’d imagine.

Dona Fer visits Rebe. While Rebe is excited about almost being her daughter-in-law, Dona Fer is too preoccupied with Octavio’s diagnosis. She confides in Rebe, letting her know what’s happening.

Pancho and Chacho begin talking about the misunderstanding with Sandra. Chacho is jealous. At that time, Sandra comes to try and straighten things out with him.

At the auto shop, Frida is daydreaming and sighing heavily. She’s in love with Pepe. Don Matias talks to her and encourages her to at least see if she has any kind of possibility with him.
Of course, right at that time, Pepe is on the phone with Monica. Monica lets him know that there is a new medication for Violeta and that she might be on the road to being more stable. Pepe is pleased, because that means Monica would come back soon. Unfortunately, she lets him know that her mother has asked her to stay in France till the end of the month to make sure that all is well with the new treatment. Hmmm.
The news is hard on Pepe, and he lets Monica know he isn’t very happy. Monica asks him not to make her difficult situation even harder, and he calms down. Of course, this will probably lead to Pepe paying a bit more attention to the young and in love mechanic, Frida. Something’s got to be the spark for the love triangle.

Vicente sneaks up on Candy and quite frankly is pretty annoying. She gets a little violent with him hoping that he’ll finally get the message to leave her alone. I think she does it as much for her as for him. Of course, it won’t last long.

Back to Chacho and Sandra. Chacho is kind of being a whiney jerk and not allowing Sandra to explain things. He decides to be “smart” and use reverse psychology on her. He asks how she’d feel if he had a friend at the market, and even gave her massages. He milks it a bit. Sandra isn’t having that…so, she turns it on him and lets him know that it wouldn’t matter to her because she trusts him, but obviously, the trust is not reciprocal! She leaves.
I was laughing there.

Elena and Lupita talk about life. Elena wonders what is wrong with her life. She goes over all of the “bad” things and relationships she’s recently experienced. Lupita lets her know that she needs to change and do something productive with her life…something related to computers. Elena can’t just expect to have a rich boyfriend who will just come, sweep her off her feet, and resolve her problems. Elena has to grow up and be productive.
While the gals talk about Tomas, we see him training at the police academy. Lupita is very proud of him and at how much he’s changing. Elena is still not fully convinced regarding changing.

Pancho and Rebe are out and about and see a very pretty cathedral. It must have some kind of significance of which I’m unsure. He gets a wild idea. What if…they get married there?

At Avon, Candy goes to see her big brother Pancho. He, of course, isn’t there. In walks Arnold dressed in some weird African get-up. He sees Candy and is happy to see her. They talk, and he asks to catch up on life with her. As they talk, Candy notices that Arnold keeps looking at her and all of her attributes. She wonders. Arnold has his eye on Candy.

At the auto shop, Pepe and Frida are in their own little worlds. Pepe is thinking of his conversation with Monica, and Frida is thinking about her conversation with Don Matias. She notices something’s up with Pepe, but he says everything’s good.

Back at the church, the love birds are asking for the next possible date for getting married. They’re told that perhaps at the beginning of the next year. Impossible!

Enzo takes Chela to a doctor, who happens to be one of the best and most expensive doctors in the city. It’s Monica’s doctor. Unfortunately, it is also Pina’s and Karina’s doctor. Pina provokes Chela, and Chela takes some of the bait, but Enzo is there to help regulate things.

Back to the mechanics, Frida finally gets Pepe to tell her what’s going on. While Pepe is down regarding Monica, Frida is thrilled.

There’s a nice scene with Ana, her band, and Franco getting ready for their concert. Franco encourages them to give it all they’ve got because they sound great! Who should appear? Freddy! He’s there as Ana’s biggest fan.

Tomas visits Lupita. He gives her a gift and lets her know how much he loves seeing her enjoy life. She thanks him but observes that he’s in pain. He hurt his back during training but thinks nothing of it. Lupita won’t stand to see her boyfriend be Macho Man, so she calls her grandmother to see if her husband (who just happens to be a doctor) will check things out for Tomas.

Octavio is pretty depressed regarding his diagnosis and doesn’t feel like doing much. Dona Fer encourages him to continue to go on with his life while he can. She encourages him to visit Tomas and see what’s going on with his back.

Back at Avon, Vince sees Candy, and again, he begins with the same old thing. She threatens to kick him where he will truly feel pain. Vicente gets close, and Candy yells at him. He won’t stop, and right at that time, Pancho comes in and of course, they fight. He pushes Vicente, and Vicente falls. In a way, Vicente takes advantage of the fact that there’s a little blood and makes a big scene, wanting an ambulance and everything. Pancho feels a little bad for what happened.
He calls Pina and asks her to go with him to the police station and make a formal complaint against Pancho.
Today, watching Sergio Sendel as Vicente was just boring. Vicente wants to sue Pancho.

Mechanics. Pepe is working or daydreaming or whatever, and Frida takes advantage of the situation! She doesn’t resist and kisses him. Pepe puts her in her place. He is a bit shocked and reminds her that they’re just friends.
He must have felt sad or guilty or something because he called Monica and told her that he would see about getting his passport in order so that he could go visit her. Monica is thrilled. Pepe apologizes and says that he should try and be more understanding.

Temo and Chela. Temo shows Chela his new laptop, which was a gift from Rebe. They begin to talk, and Temo asks Chela if she will still love him as much once her baby is born. Chela reminds him that she sees him as a son, and that he will be like a big brother to the baby. She reminds him how much she loves him and what a special place he holds in her heart.

Candy talks with Pancho and Rebe and lets them know how uncomfortable she is with Vicente and Pina. She even suggests that Pancho hire a body guard for her. Sure. She does congratulate Rebe and Pancho for their upcoming wedding.

At the police station, Vicente does put forth a formal complaint against Pancho for aggression and injury. Pancho is being sued, or at least, it would be like going to small claims court.

Chela, Dona Fer, and Octavio go and visit Tomas to see how they can help him. Lupita wonders if everything is OK with Octavio. Octavio is able to make his diagnosis, but he’s awfully hesitant and everyone notices that something is wrong.

Later on, Chela talks to Rebe about the situation and expresses concern for both Dona Fer and Octavio. Rebe listens, and when she’s asked if she knows anything, says she doesn’t. Dona Fer told Rebe about Octavio in confidence.

Tomas and Lupita. Lupita asks if Tomas is feeling better, and he says he is thanks to Dr. Lupita and her magic massages. She tells him not to get used to massages every day. He wonders why not and jokes with her about coming back again the next day. She tells him she’d be delighted if that were to happen. They talk more about how proud she is of him. He says that he wants Lupita to be even prouder, to see him graduate, etc. She asks if he was really willing to wait. He wonders what he needs to wait for, and she answers him with a kiss.
In the background, we hear music…a song being sung by Alejandra Garcia. She has a great voice!

At the Irabien home, Vicente and Pina continue to do their thing…milking things for all they’re worth. Vicente has a neck brace and everything. Boring.

Back at the concert, it’s ShowTime for Ana! Freddy is there to wish her luck.

Frida is slowly but surely wearing Pepe down. He just wants to be friends, but you can tell that he’s also having other thoughts regarding Frida.

Candy is back at the radio station doing her show. Everyone is happy to have her back. She lets the audience know about Pancho and Rebe not being able to be married at the Toluca Cathedral. Suddenly, she gets tons of messages by listeners who want to organize something so that they could get married at that wonderful church. The power of radio, huh?

Things go very well for Ana at her concert. She’s thrilled, and Freddy is right there with her.

Pepe gives Frida a ride home. He can’t stop thinking about Frida, especially after that kiss she gave him.

Pancho is stunned because he gets the court notice. If Vicente wants war, Pancho will give him war. He goes to Pina’s house and informs her that the reason he pushed Vicente and caused his “grief” was because he wouldn’t leave Candy alone. Oh boy! Vince denies this, of course. Pina isn’t sure she believes him.

Everyone is thrilled with Ana’s success. Freddy is looking at the newspaper at home, and the Lopez family is together, reading the paper and calling Ana to congratulate her. Pancho gets a bit sentimental with his little girl’s instant success.

Next we have a scene with Rebe and Dona Fer. They’re talking about Octavio and Chela’s suspicions. Fernanda is very concerned about her husband’s health. Rebe proposes that he gets some counseling.

Candy, Lupita, and Pancho look at Candy’s new facebook page. She gets a ton of posts informing of an upcoming demonstration people are organizing so that Pancho and Rebe can indeed be married at the Toluca Cathedral. The demonstration will be in the form of a service where everyone is dressed in white. Kind of cool!

Pepe talks to Tomas about his feelings and about Frida. Tomas warns Pepe not to give into temptation and do Monica wrong the way he did with Lupita.

Frida talks to her friend about Pepe. Oh, did I mention that Frida’s friend is her classic car named Pantera?

There’s a short scene with Enzo and Chela going shopping for maternity clothes. Enzo is with her through thick and thin…including shopping for women’s clothes. Poor guy!

Ana is feeling a bit lonesome and decides to call Chela. Just then, there’s an even better cure for her loneliness…Freddy Irabien at her door.

Pancho helps Lupita get things in order for the new daycare center. While they talk, she expresses concern for Elena and gives Pancho an idea. What if Elena got a job working with Arnold? After all, Arnold isn’t any danger because…after all, he’s gay…right? Yeah…right.

At Avon, Vicente and Arnold talk about Pancho and then move on to the subject of Candy. Right then, Candy calls Arnold to see if he could convince Vicente not to go forth with any more complaints regarding Pancho to the police. Basically, she wants him to retract his complaint.

Lupita and Chela talk about their respective loves.
At the police academy, Tomas receives the highest score of the group on an exam.

At the board meeting, Pancho and Vicente are informed that because of the complaint and needing to resolve their issues in court, they must leave their respective positions as president and vice-president of the company, and new ones must be elected in order for the company to remain in operation. Rebe and Pina would be the candidates.

Ana and Freddy begin realizing how hard this touring life is. Freddy begins to wonder about things. It’s pretty obvious. Franco comes in and has a very serious discussion with Ana, which Freddy overhears. Basically, Ana cannot be distracted by other things…or people. Freddy gets it. Ana doesn’t.


We end the show at the board meeting. Basically, because Pina has stock in the company, she is the candidate who would take over the presidency. Voting is more of a formality at this point. Tomorrow…Pina will be president of Avon!

Wow Fabulous - how do you do this so fast, especially a 2-hour show?

All I kept thinking is if Madonna had been told she had to focus on music and not have a love life where would we be?

Thank you I could not understand anything about Pina becoming the President of Avon, if anything wouldn't La Jefe step back in?
 

Thanks so much JP. I love all the detail you gave us. Sorry about last night's confusion. I quickly wrote something up after seeing Ezra's post.

I wonder what kind of surprises await us with Pina's presidency?
 

Thanks very much JP for this great recap. Loved all your detail.

Nellie-Pina has become President of Avon because she is the biggest shareholder for Avon. Pancho and Vins both have shares, but since they are in litigation they had to find someone else to run the company. Rebe and Enzzo don't have enough shares, so Pina is now President. I too wonder what she will do with Avon now she is President. Dona Fer gave her company to Pancho and Vins I beleive and so would not come back. In light of Doc Oc's medical condition she doesn't want to come back I think.
 

Amazing! Thanks so much!

-Ezra
 

JP and Vivi, thanks for the recaps. I missed it yesterday, so it's a nice treat to get all the detail.

Kind of sweet the way Chela's pregnancy is making her yearn for her comfort frumpy clothes. Poor Enzo.

No idea why they don't show Monica's whole face. Maybe she was in an accident? Or Violeta, off medication, got violent?

Can't blame Frida for trying. In her view, she's got everything in common with Pepe that Monica doesn't. And now that she thinks she rocked Pepe's world with that kiss, Frida won't let up. I like Moni, but not the way she mopes when things get tough. Like why won't she at least tell Enzo whatever the hell is really going on in France.
 

Whats with the creepy eye ball and lip shots of Monica? Two nights of it. Ick.

Early on in the show I watched Arnoldo talking to Candy's "bubis" and had to laugh when Candy told him to stop!

Doc Oc is sure playing the victim role to the hilt! He's got a great wife who supports him totally. What would he do if a patient of his acted this way. His alzheimers sure came on overnight.
 

Thank you JP AND Vivi!

So Elena is going to work for Arnold... I missed that little detail last night. What a horrible idea. He must be horny as anything by now. I foresee disaster, unless Elena is SURE she's finished with the monkey business.

The mystery of Moni's extreeeeeme close-ups is driving me crazy. I hope we get an answer soon!
 

Niecie- I wondered why they didn't show Moni's face either, and didn't she sound like she was drugged? To me she did, cause she was talking way slower than she usually does, or as if she is out of it. I wonder if Violenta slipped her some of her drugs to keep her in France. I don't know, Moni just does not seem her normal self.
 

Maybe the extreme close ups of Moni's eyes and lips is some new TN artistic endeavor! ha. Its creepy!
 

Thank you JP! I especially appreciate the detail because I was distracted and missed what was going on with the Avon presidency and shares.

Is Pantera the same Pantera from HQEDNS?

I want Pepe to stick with Moni (and figure out QTH is going on in France) but I think if he'd met Frida first, Moni wouldn't have stood a chance. The only thing wrong with Frida that I can see is her inappropriate crush.

Arnoldo really needs to come clean about the gay act and find himself a real novia. His hormones are erupting all over the place and this will lead to nothing good. One would think Elena is repulsive enough to drive off even him, though.

Poor Lupita, she just can't get through to Elena. Does Elena ever wonder why some fabby rich dude would WANT a whiny, bitter, lazy, entitled wife?
 

Thanks Julia. This filled in a couple of things I didn't catch last night.

I laughed when Frida called her car Pantera -- just a day or two ago I commented that the car looked like Rafa's beloved Pantera from Dinero -- and now maybe it is. Could this be the universal classic car -- like the much used pear bathrobe we've been tracking through many TNs for many years?

I knew that Freddy's plan to follow Ana on tour was not going to be able to last long. Too bad.

Could Vince BE more of a putz? The idea of Pina as president is quite intriguing.

Güera
 

I hope Avon really thrives under Pina's lead. She may be snobby and nasty to Ana but she seems like she's pretty good at the business stuff. Maybe some success there would give her more real self-esteem and then she wouldn't feel the need to be nasty and control her son's life so much. Plus, Pancho and Vice really need to get over themselves. And Pina needs to ditch Vice again for real and spend more time with Arnold Flowerz.

Why is Freddie going back home in between concerts? Is he still going to classes during the day and then flying to the next city, or is he just hoping to keep his parents from finding out he's tagging along with Ana and cutting off his allowance (until they see the credit card bill, anyway)?
 

I think the reason they are not showing Moni's face is because it's really her mother making the calls. Maybe she wants to pave the way to break them up. Just a thought.
 

I think they're not showing Monica's face because she's under going a UFCS makeover--which basically means she only got a haircut, lol. I do wonder the deal is with her mother and her "treatment".

And what was the reason Pancho and Rebe can't get married in the cathedral? Is it all booked up? I missed that part.
 

It's all booked up.
 

This is driving me nuts, what is the name of the
sexy theme song that is played in the background
on Una Familia Con Suerte when Candy and Vicente
are together and begin to make out?
Ive been searching everywhere for hints or clues
and nothing! Anyone know the name of the song and artist?
Seems like a current pop song with lyrics
I think are "I got you you got me". Its very short
and hard for me to hear enough to figure it out
thank you!!
