Una Familia Con Suerte #167-168 Fri 3/16/12 Love Declared, Love Denied, Who's My Daddy, Con, Ado and Nappy Bring the Funny
The Refried:
Dona Fer wants to reconcile Pancho and Rebe
Midory apologizes to Arnold. He accepts.
Nappy tells Candy he wants babies with her and has a vision of what the baby looks like.
Pina and Vins reconcile.
The New:
Pina and Vins declare their love for each other and many smoochies.
Enzzo tells Chela he will be a part of the baby's life and the baby will know who he is.
Pancho reveals to the whole family Dona Fer is his Mama and their Grandma for realz. Many hugs all around.
Vins congrats Enzzo for the baby he is having with Chela.
Pancho tells Candy that Dona Fer is his Mama and that he is not her blood brother. Meanwhile Nappy is watching them on CC tv and cries as they talk to each other and wipes his streaming eyes with a silk hankerchief. Pancho tells Candy he still considers her his sister and she is still a part of the family.
Pina is very happy to be back with Vins and tells Freddy that she and Vins are not divorcing. Freddy reminds her about the alarms, the other women, etc. Pina tells Freddy nothing will separate her and Vins again.
Chacho goes to the office to see Sandrita and tells her he loves her. She says same to you and they kiss through a lollipop.
Lupe and Tomas talk. He thanks her for doing so much to set him free, he's like to try again with her, but she doesn't know yet, and then he tells her he is applying at the Police Academy.
Under a smiling slice of moon, Pina and Vins remember all the good times of their marriage. Many smoochies. Vins carries Pina upstairs and the house starts a rockin. In the morning they are all smiles.
Rebe and Pancho wait for an elevator. Pancho tries to talk to Rebe but she keeps her distance and is very cool and business like with him.
Dona Fer wants to make Pancho her heir and head of her business, but Pancho tells her things are moving way too fast and he can't accept the changes all at once.
Pina and Vins continue to be amazed how they still love each other.
Karina corners Freddy at school and tries to put a liplock on him. He pushes her off and says he is late for class. She asks why he isn't going to LA to school.
He says because he doesn't want to leave Ana and besides he is just friends with Karina and so long sister. She isn't happy.
Pina wants to go with Vins to Candy's wedding so that Candy can see for herself that they have reconciled. Vins accepts but wants Pina to be part of the plan in getting Pancho out of Avon.
I forgot to add that Concepcion is going back home, cause Vins moved back into his house with Pina.
Dona Fer tells Pancho his dad didn't want to take responsibility for Fernanada being pregnant, and abandoned her. Her parents were fit to be tied and she gave him up for adoption. Fernanda tells Pancho his father's name is Demian Corcuera.
Lidia comes to see Enzzo, but he is preoccupied with Chela and the pregnancy, so Lidia tells him they are through and wishes him luck and a great future with the baby. Lidia goes to see Rebe and tells Rebe that Chela is pregnant. Rebe thinks that Pancho is the baby daddy, but Lidia tells her it is Enzzo.
Rebe looks relieved. She still doesn't want to get back with Pancho, too much excess baggage.
Chela thinks to herself: she is all alone - she should have appreciated Enzzo more.
Pancho goes to look for his Dad.
Enzzo comes over to Chela's with a boatload of maternity books, she asks if he needs help, he tells her he is fine and then drops the books. She helps him pick them up and their hands touch as they gaze into each other's eyes...
The contact breaks and Enzzo shows her the books he brought. He asks how far along she is, and she says five weeks. He gets a book and shows her what the baby looks like now. She is very happy and he looks happy too.
Then she says she wants to ask him something. He says ask away. She wants another chance with him. He tells her he doesn't know cause he is scared, doesn't want to raise his hopes too high again, and doesn't want to suffer like he did before.
Ana tells Freddy to let his Moms know that she is sick of her interference in their relationship and to take care of it.
Pancho goes to his dad's office. He is pacing the waiting room and finally gives the secretary his card. Demian deigns to see him.
Pancho is not impressed. He looks like an older version of Pancho, but with a bald pate and long stringy hair. He laughs like Pancho, scratches himself like Pancho, and grimaces like Pancho. Pancho wants to know why he abandoned Dona Fer. Demian can barely remember her, and then does, barely. Pancho finds him very arrogant and a jerk.
Demian tells Pancho he was married and so had no obligation to Fernanda. Pancho says: "At least I had a great dad, Francisco Lopez, and now a great Mom, Dona Fer!" Pancho leaves and after Pancho closes the door Demian says No Manches and laughs like Pancho.
Rebe meets Pepe, Lupe, Ana and Temo for lunch and she brings Temo a laptop. They ask if she will ever get back with Pancho, but she doesn't know. She would come over to the house, but says it is better that they meet outside of the house and she still likes them.
Chacho and Pancho play basketball and Pancho says he doesn't know what to do about Rebe cause she hates him and he lurvvves her. Chacho tells him there is a thin line between love and hate, and that Pancho should fight for her as hard as he can. Everyone knows they still love each other, but they have to work at it.
Pancho goes to Rebe's office and brings her a bunch of big pink flowers, but she isn't there. He sits down and writes a note asking for her forgiveness for being a jerk and that he loves her still. He leaves the card and the bunch of flowers on her desk.
Pancho tells Dona Fer he met his Dad and what the heck did she see in him anyway? She says she was young and thought she loved him. In storms Rebe and she tells Pancho just cause he bought her flowers and professed his love doesn't mean she if forgiving him anytime soon, and that they need to stay professional. Dona Fer gets in between them as they shout at each other. Rebe leaves, and Pancho tells Dona Fer he doesn't think Rebe will ever forgive him.
Advances: Candy's wedding
Labels: familia, recapper-intro
Thanks for jumping in to help out and doing such a terrific job right out of the gate.
I'm not sure why the writers are acting as if Pancho and Candy didn't know he was adopted. I could've sworn they spoke of this a long time ago.
Tomas as a cop should be funny. And maybe he'll earn some merits to be worthy of Lupita. Concepcion and Adoracion are so funny together.
Vince and Pina are fun, but I can't believe he's forgotten Candy. Vince really is a snake in the grass.
Dona Fer sure had some strange taste back in the day. Pancho's dad (that's Pancho in makeup, right?) is about as desirable as an ingrown toenail.
Niecie in MD- yes that is Arath de la Torre (Pancho) in makeup. I guess maybe Demian was a hottie back in the day, but now Yewww! Pancho is a hottie, but with odd little quirks.
Pina and Vince are indeed a hoot together. Too bad he's just going to break her heart again. Vince is incapable of being fathful to any woman. It was nice to see them chatting about when they first met over 20 years ago. How long till he starts taking her for granted and cheating again? Both she and Candy should run far away from Vince.
Tomas a cop. Hmm... He'd make a really hot cop. :) I think he'll be mistaken for a stripper. Nice to see him finally getting on a serious path and making himself worthy of Lupita.
Enzo is so cute in his excitement for the baby. Glad that Lidia knew when to throw in the towel. I know Enzo is playing hard to get now, but I don't think Chela has anything to fret about. He's totally gaga for her and will crumble soon enough. It's good that she has to work a bit to make him open his heart again. Hopefully, in the process she'll fall in love with him.
I like how the keep comparing good parenting while showing how little shared blood heritage has to do with it. Pancho shouldn't make Candy feel bad for not being his sister. They had a great Dad and now he can share Fernanda as Candy's Mama too. Moni had to get over Enzo's revelations and get back to appreciating his fathering skills especially when she figured out that her "real mother" was such a nightmare. Donaa Fer is not Violeta so she will get to be a good mother and grandmother.
Vive and Pina were so cute but that relationship is built on air! Vice isn't going to keep it together for long.
While Vice and Pina are cute together, like others have said, he can't be trusted. He's going to hurt her.
Cheryl- I so agree with you about the good parenting in this TN. I love how Dona Fer treated Pancho as her son, before she knew he was really her son and the kids too as her grandkids. Enzzo is a great Dad too.
I agree with all of you about Pina and Vins. They are a hoot together but with Vin's past history I can't see him staying with Pina without breaking her heart.
Was it jungle night? Lidia dressed like a leopard and Rebe a zebra!
Napo is being to be appealing. Love his deep sexy voice but the whole situation stretches the imagination.
What was the point of Pancho's bio-dad? A totally pointless scene.
Napo is turning into a really nice guy. I look forward to seeing how this goes, it should be interesting.
Pina better run from Vinny, he is really a not nice to women.
I don't care for Reb's new wardrobe. It looks like the same dress in different colors.
Rosemary
Rosemary
She is the actress Susy Lu, Aranth DeLaTorre's (Pancho) wife. Their scenes together were hysterical. Inside joke was when she left scene, Pancho says to himself "she reminds me of someone....Mmmm...Naaa" too funny!
Tomás as a cop? Why, so Lupita can be widowed a second time? Whatever, I guess it's something to do. But I don't see what's wrong with his other two careers as plumber and auto mechanic. He seemed to be pretty good at both.
As for Vice: I think he has a more promising future with Pina than with Candy, if he can get past his fickle and promiscuous nature. I never saw anything between Vice and Candy other than lust. With Pina he has a child, a dog, and a 20-year friendship. And, apparently, some newfound lust which just might carry them through all their other issues.
Rebe in the striped dress looked like she'd broken out of a cage. Not a zoo cage, but a go-go dancer's cage. Seriously, just because you CAN wear something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Especially in an office when you are fending off an ex.
I enjoyed Pancho meeting his dad. I saw it the way Vivi did - it definitely ends the uncertainly over Pancho's DNA, but it also shows that you are more than just your genetic material. I get Rosemary's point, that it's hard to understand Fernanda ever finding that guy attractive... but when I think of some of the crushes I had when I was young, it seems plausible to me!
I'm glad that Chela is aware of what a bonbon she passed up when she dropped Enzo for Pancho. No wonder he's a little gun shy right now. I just hope he doesn't give Lidia any hope. She backed off nicely and I hope she stays away.
Kari, on the other hand, is really bugging me. Going along with Pina's plans was bad enough -- but her ambush of Freddy was too much.
I loved the comment about Rebe & Lidia in the jungle with Lidia dressed as a jaguar & Rebe as a zebra. What is it with everybody dressing in the same one shoulder skin tight dress in various colors? Enough already!

Cheryl- you get to do Candy's wedding. It should be a hoot.
Just dropping by to congratulate you on the recap. Nicely done! And nicely edited from the looong 2-hour episode.
Thank you for your work and I am delighted that it helped your comprehension. I always feel that way about recapping, too.
All:
I am completely split inside myself about Vins and Pina. The two actors are masters of comedy timing and delivery and I LOVE their scenes together. They are so much fun I laugh outloud.
The characters are NOT good together, however. Pina is a classist but Vins is a skunk. I loved Vins' self observation the other day that he has a tiny little heart. It reminded me of the Grinch, who, as you will recall, had a heart three sizes too small. ITA with all who have said he will hurt Pina again.
I have a suggestion for Vins—Let's hook him up with Deborah, Nappy's bodyguard. He might stay in line if he was afraid of HER kicking his assets to the curb if he strayed! Otherwise, I think he is hopelessly non-monogamous.
EJ
I'm pretty sure Vice & Candy are off the table as a couple, though.
I DO NOT LIKE Vins and Pina reconciling. I don't think he's changed at all. He was just lonely and wanted the comfort of home. Twenty years of disrespect and cheating can't be erased. I think Deb is better suited for him, too.
I could hardly watch the scene of Pancho meeting his biopops. What a hideous guy. Was that to make Pancho look really good in comparison? Now I'm surprised that Fernanda always said she thought Pancho might be her son because she felt such a connection...she never mentioned that he looked exactly like his sperm donor! That should have been a bigger clue!
Not a fan of the police academy plan. What's wrong with being a plumber? I agree Tom in a cop uniform is just going to look like a stripper :).
Enzo is awesome. A rare case of a telenovela daddy being supportive and helpful without being overbearing.
I would've been perfectly fine if he'd chosen to pursue olympic swimming.
Bottomline, I hope he's doing it because it's what he wants - not to attract Lupita. Though I do think he needs to become more grounded, regardless of profession, to be worthy of her.
