Una Familia Con Suerte #145-146 Thu 3/1/12 Tomás goes to the hokey pokey. That’s what it’s all about.
We’re back at Avon, where Enzo has dropped his papers all dumbstruck upon coming face to face with Chela. They exude enough heat to kill all the polar bears, but then Enzo just walks away. Boo.
Ado seizes the phone from Freddy to blubber to Pina. She’s so worried and misses her so much! Unfortunately, in her discombobulation Ado hangs up, and phones only work once so we don’t find out how Yuyis and Marido de Yuyis are faring. Freddy decides Ado needs a project to distract her (she momentarily seems to think he is propositioning her). Later, we see that Ado had a LOT of energy to burn, as she has made about a million posters d’amor and lined the whole house from the front door to Freddy’s Love Lair with candles, flowers, and arrows for Ana to follow. Ana finds the prize at the end of the treasure hunt, and…
Tomás asks the jail guard to let him make his call. The guard is rude and taunts him about spending 30 years in prison, but lets him go to the phone. On the other end, the phone rings and rings and rings while Elena blubbers to the long-suffering Virgen. Finally she answers, but the guard hangs up. Lupita walks in and Elena sneers at her claims of worry. She says she has no idea where Tom is. Lupita knows she’s hiding something but gets thrown out.
In the office, Chela catches Pancho up and, seeing that he’s tired, tells him to come home and get in his PJs and she’ll give him a foot massage.
Fortunately, we skip right to the next morning. Pancho goes jogging past a news stand where Cristian’s death is the front-page story. While he’s at a pay phone reacting to that, he sees a trashy mag with the photo of Mike and Rebe’s pathetic kiss on the cover. Woe is him. Why any magazine reader would care about Mike is anyone’s guess. Pancho runs home to hug La Burra and indulge in some muy ugly crying. He’s about an 11 on Ferro’s 1 to 10 scale.
Pancho goes inside for brekky and Lupita can tell something’s wrong. She’s more worried about Tom and Elena, though. She tells Pancho that Tom still hasn’t appeared.
The guard lets Tom try to call again. Elena answers this time and he tells her he’s in jail and asks her to tell Pancho and Pepe.
Moni tells Enzo she’s worried about Violenta’s attacks and memory lapses. He thinks this is too much for her to deal with and she should move back in with him. Moni feels obligated to stay and watch out for her mother.
Candy and Vice bicker about the ownership of the apartment. Napoleon’s mystery sidekick calls Candy and she drops the phone. Candy tells Vice Napoleon’s after her. Oh noes.
Mike brings Rebe a latte and tries to use all the tips from “Wooing for Dummies” on her. Soft voice, hair patting, saying “te amo” a lot…why isn’t this working???? Rebe is cold to him. She’s saved by Lidia interrupting for a private chat with IckyMicky. Apparently they used to date, and she isn’t over him and is furious that he’s still trying to get back with Rebe. He thinks she should get over it. Only HIS hopeless crushes matter.
Pancho, Chela, Lupita, and Pepe swarm the casa popular for a word with Elena. She sobs that Tom’s in jail for murder. Elena claims that Cris was totally not dead when she left him. Also, of course she didn’t stay out all night. Tom just didn’t notice when she came home. Pancho gets on the phone to get a lawyer. Chela and Lupita don’t believe Tom would kill anyone. Pepe calls Moni and asks her to meet them at Licenciado Mendoza’s office.
Evileta calls Moni and screeches when Moni thinks it’s Jose. Moni can’t talk now. She hangs up and Vio has a tantrum, though her behavior is not nearly as bad as her earrings. Bows, chains, diamonds, AND feathers, and they hang way down to her chest.
Lupita makes tea for Elena. Remembering the drug-riddled hotel scene, Elena drops the teacup. Lupita knows she knows more than she’s saying. Elena rambles on about Tom’s violent temper…maybe he DID kill Cris. Lupita says no way. Elena has a cow about everyone always judging and blaming her.
Lawyer Mendoza tells the gang that Tomás signed a confession. They are shocked; he couldn’t have done it. Mendoza tells them he was caught red-handed in the room. They still don’t believe it. He will see what he can do. It doesn’t look good.
Vins takes Candy to Jimenez’s office and asks him to use his mad P.I. skillz to find Napoleon Villarreal’s address. Jimenez is terrified. A Mafioso?! Are they sure?! They are.
Tomás gets some smokin’ hot mug shots taken. On his official form, we find out he is 21 years old, 1.85m tall, and 80kg. Also, his nose is noted as “aguileña.”
Fernanda accompanies Octavio on a hot date to the operating room, where he is doing an appendectomy. She’s not sure her agreement to be part of his life meant they had to share EVERYTHING. When he starts to cut, she nearly passes out and has to leave. Still, she thinks it’s sweet that he invited her.
Pancho cries on Pepe’s shoulder and Pepe says there, there, don’t cry. Ana skips by and they kill her exuberant mood with the news.
Napoleon’s curly sidekick shows the Napobot a dossier on Vice. She says she’s at his orders, whatever he needs.
The execs are waiting, but Pancho doesn’t show up for their meeting. Typical, sez Vice. Ketita calls Pancho and he tells her to postpone, but Chela tells him he may as well go to work; there’s nothing he can do.
Ado’s beating duster feathers all over the sofa and Freddie and she asks him how things went last night. “Metiche!...but…heavenly!” he smiles. Chato rings the bell and offers a little bunch of flowers and the news that his supposed son is black. Ado doesn’t care if he’s orange, yellow, or green! SLAM! Chato barges back in but Freddie’s right there to push him back out. Chato hands over the flowers and Freddie chucks them at him and slams the door again. Ado thanks him and they hug. Awww.
Pancho arrives at the office and apologizes to Rebe but she is nasty to him. Then she boo-hoos to Mike. He thinks a trip to the opera will help. It’s Tosca, so she accepts and leaves with him. Chacho sees them and reports this to Pancho. Pancho tells him about Tomás so Chacho cancels his date with Sandra to be with them, taking a little time for flirting first. Sandra is smitten…he kisses her on the cheek!
Elena’s at the big house to ruin everyone’s dinner with her screechy lies. Chela still invites her to sleep over. Elena stomps upstairs. Chela’s nice enough to bring her tea in bed, sympathy not included. Elena boo-hoos some more. She wants a hug. DENIED.
Downstairs, the kids argue about what might have happened. No one believes Elena. Pepe is in a lot of pain but insists it’s nothing. Violenta calls and yells at Moni for ignoring her the whole day. Moni’s probably thinking, “I’ll see your one day and raise you 20 years.” Violenta does not care about Pepe’s problems!!! Unfortunately for her, Moni does. Gotta go. Vio rages to herself that she hates them all.
Tom is transferred to the prison, where the others celebrate the arrival of fresh meat. His cellmate is El Tanque, a That Guy who always plays the scary prison cellmate. Another prisoner (Victoria’s right-hand-man from TdA) is excited at the prospect of getting money out of this pretty new dude. I bet Tom’s regretting his fancy makeover now. Some little joker dude serenades Tomás.
Lupita cries and Pancho assures her they’ll get Tomás out. He tells her about the magazine cover. She tells him not to give up, but he says it’s over with Rebe para siempre. Chela overhears him saying something about being inseguro.
Rebe is in rapture taking in the opera. She doesn’t even seem to notice IckyMicky pawing her and sniffing her hair. After he takes her home and is denied entry, she collapses on the floor crying about Pancho.
Pepe unwraps his gross festering hand and fights back screams. He washes it and rebandages it. Qué in heck is the point of this? Why doesn’t he just go to a doctor?
Enzo spaces out in a meeting with Lidia and remembers happier times with Chela. Lidia asks what’s on his mind and he tells her he’s in love but let the lady go because she’s in love with someone else. Boy, can Lidia relate. Moni calls and reports on Violenta’s bizarre behavior, and he offers to go check up. He goes to Parking Lot and knocks on the door and calls on the phone, but there is no answer. He gets the super to let him in and finds Vio unconscious on the floor, surrounded by pills. Super calls for an ambulance and Enzo is somehow able to determine through Vio’s inflated chest that she is still alive.
Later, Enzo makes it to the mansion, where Chela is polite to him. How she can hold herself back, I haven’t the foggiest idea. Moni asks what’s up with Ma.
Chacho and Pancho convene. Pancho is all, “So how are you, Chacho? How’s business? Things going well with Sandra? What’s on YOUR mind?” Hahahaha, no. He just unloads his own problems, as usual. He says Mike is Rebe’s media naranja. {MEDIA?! That dude is ALL naranja, and then some!} He says Mike is of Rebe’s class, all sophisticated and smooth-talking. So he may as well just get with Chela, who is his own type, or whatever. “What about Tranzeti?” Chacho asks. “Nah, not my type,” says Pancho.
Napoleon’s operative follows Candy as her hot bodyguards escort her home. She calls Nappy to report that she knows where Candy lives. She seems to get a great deal of satisfaction from her job.
Octavio and Fernanda go to a party with ballroom dancing. It isn’t exciting but they’re happy, which is nice. Everyone starts clapping and chanting for them to kiss. Eh? Is this their wedding?
Avances: No more Mrs. Nice Lupita. She lets Elena have it. Mafiosa Moll goes on a leather-clad rampage. Micky and Rebe go on a romantic limo ride.

Oh Julia, great title and what a clever recap. Where to begin???
"He says Mike is Rebe’s media naranja. {MEDIA?! That dude is ALL naranja, and then some!}"
"Enzo is somehow able to determine through Vio’s inflated chest that she is still alive."
“I’ll see your one day and raise you 20 years.”
" Vio has a tantrum, though her behavior is not nearly as bad as her earrings"
"They exude enough heat to kill all the polar bears, but then Enzo just walks away. Boo."
This Rebe/Pancho misunderstanding is so frustrating. I know, I know. It's the stuff that telenovelas are made of -- but please! Just talk to each other and LISTEN!
Poor, self sacrificing Tomás sure did look hot in his photos. But he is only in this position because he made a BIG assumption about Elena. I don't know who killed Cristian but Tomás seems to think Elena did it.
And Pepe what the heck is this stoicism all about??? Get thee to a doctor, dummy!

Ohmigosh...Güera picked all my favorite lines so all I can say is ditto ditto ditto.
Güera...seriously, were we separated at birth? I too was a French teacher. We're both basketball fans (though your team is doing a lot better) and we always seem to go for the same gems. Interesting.
Julia, the Hokey-Pokey song will be going through my head all day, but that's a good thing. Makes me smile and feel about 6 years old again. Good stuff. Thanks amiga mia.

I have no idea what is happening with this site. After not being able to post after they changed to the 2 word veri, all of a sudden I could get on for 2 days, then yesterday I couldn't, today I can.
I guess Pepe is giving some competition to Miguel at Podía with the hand.
Tks Julia for the recap.

Thank you so much Julia for this funny snarky recap. Love your name for Violetta/Viletta and IckyMickey. Vins does call him Mickey all the time. Loved the Napobot too, lol.
Poor Tomas. He really didn't deserve this. I agree with you all about his pics. All for Elena. I hope they find out who killed Christian soon. Tomas' cell mate looks really scary.
Viletta is really losing it. First she doesn't take her meds, and then she took too much. This time she ought to stay in the hospital. Poor Moni she looks so scared when Viletta was screaming at her.
I thought Pepe went to Dr. Armando. His hand is starting to look infected. He really does need to go to a doctor.
Loved your comment about Chela and Enzzo BOO, lol. Chela is still so into Enzzo, she seems to stare at him everytime she is near him.
Guera ITA about Rebe/Pancho. He is crying she is crying. I want them both to stop crying, ditch Chela and IckyMickey for one day, get stuck in a room where they have to talk. So much could be solved.
Elena is stuck on stupid. She thinks that she will be charged with murder if she tells the truth. She ought to just tell Pancho and family what really happened. I am glad Chela did not hug her. Love Lupe really standing up for Tomas to Elena. This has affected Elena. I notice she is not dressing like she used to at Avon. She is scared, but if she would only tell the truth.
Poor Candy. That Napoleon must be one evil guy. Even the PI is scared of him. And Napoleon's sidekick looks crazy.
Loved the scenes with Dona Fer/Dr. Octavio dancing, it was very sweet, and Ana/Freddy really romantic.
Chato just won't give up. I'm glad Freddy was there to send him on his way.
Loved Chacho and Sandrita. Very cute. Loved how he had her kiss the lollipop lol.
Poor Tomas. He really didn't deserve this. I agree with you all about his pics. All for Elena. I hope they find out who killed Christian soon. Tomas' cell mate looks really scary.
Viletta is really losing it. First she doesn't take her meds, and then she took too much. This time she ought to stay in the hospital. Poor Moni she looks so scared when Viletta was screaming at her.

First off half the time I can't read those 2 word verifications, I just keep trying until I get it right. Annoying.
I loved when Pancho was describing all of Mikey's good traits and said he was so "bronceado". Perfecto! Guess we aren't the only ones to notice how tan-orange the creep is.
Is it just me, but it seems like they make one huge big deal about kisses - both the good and the bad. I thought these people were adults but they go bonkers over a kiss, like kids.
The way Rebe is acting lately she deserves El Bronceado.

Julia, thanks for all the laughs. My favorite: "Enzo is somehow able to determine through Vio’s inflated chest that she is still alive." Gracias for the details on Tomas' form.
Since Chato's wife's new baby turns out not to be his, does this mean Adoracion will take him back? I hope not.
I can't fault Chela for not hugging Elena. But maybe if Chela had comforted her more, Elena would've softened up and told the truth.
I’m giving Rebe a pass for numbkiss with IckyMickey, cause I’m much more ticked at Pancho and Chela. Thank goodness we were spared the foot massage.

"Only HIS hopeless crushes matter." - Hah! That's been a recurring theme on this show.
What will it take to get Elena to stop lying to people? I can't believe she told Lupita et al that Tomas could have done it. However, I was sad when Chela didn't give her a hug. I think the hug request was probably the only sincere thing to come out of Elena's mouth in a long time.
Violenta unconscious, surrounded by pills? Damn, the things one misses when one "watches" with one's ears but not one's eyes. (What I don't get, though, is: if there were pills scattered all around, how many pills got into her mouth? I always wonder about that when I read about someone ODing being found surrounded by pills. They're pretty harmless until you put 'em in your mouth.)
Napobot is interesting. I can think of two reasons not to show his face: 1) the actor is finishing up another job and isn't available yet or 2) he's the evil twin of someone we know. Anyone recognize his voice?
Pepe and Tom talked about going to the doctor last week (wow, it's been a whole week?), but I guess it didn't happen. I really don't understand why Pepe didn't have anyone look at his hand. Too busy? If he waits till he has more time on his hands, he'll have only one hand to hold it in. :(

I didn't have such a problem with Rebe over the kiss. It seemed almost an experiment - and the chemistry proved her right. She didn't feel anything. But this continually accepting date after date is very annoying. If she wants to get rid of Mike & if she wants to have a chance with Pancho -- then why does she keep going out with IckyMicky?
Conejita, I agree about the mysterious importance of kisses. Whole relationships are thrown out the window because of a kiss. Before it was Ana & Freddy. Now it's both Rebe & Pancho throwing the other over because of a kiss. Sometimes it seems as if it's a 7:00 G rated substitute for "cositas."
Hey JudyB I've noticed those similarities too. I usually know I'm going to agree when I see your name on a comment. And yes BBall is going well for us this year.

Pepe was supposed to go to Dr. Armando. I was looking forward to seeing Dr. Armando! Paging Dr. Armando! If he didn't want to trek over to Dr. A, why not ask Octavio to take a look when he was right there at the house?
Maybe we're heading for a "you can still be a happy Lopez and laugh hysterically all the time for no reason even if you only have one arm" story line.
So Elena knows she didn't do it, and she knows Tom didn't do it...isn't she wondering who DID do it?
I love Freddie's and Ado's friendship. It was too funny when he said he needed to distract her and she was all "!!!" and he said, "I know I'm hot and everyone wants me, but no, not that." And good for him, getting off the sofa to help her with Chato. Can't imagine Vice bothering. Can Chato just go away? Why would he think Ado would take him back just because his wife cheated on him? That doesn't change what he did.

Hey Julia, terrific recap starting with the great title. Just perfect!
Let's see, which of your statements made me laugh the loudest? Hmmm...I think it's "Enzo is somehow able to determine through Vio’s inflated chest that she is still alive". I also like your comments about her earrings. Good gracious, she's got all the tacky accessories that we've seen on every character in El Talisman all wrapped up in one pair of earrings.
Actually, I was surprised that Chela didn't give Elena a hug. Not that I blame Chela, it's just that she is usually ready to jump right in and help people. Will this be yet another thing for Elena to gripe about or will she finally start getting the clue that her behavior is exceedingly tiresome and there are limits to it?
Thanks again Julia!

Hey Julia, guns are harmless until someone picks them up and pull the trigger.
Go VCU Rams....first four to final four last year.
I loved the recap line, Enzo knew she was still breathing, by looking at her inflated breast.....do you think their is silicone in there?... lol

Violenta's globes seemed to be super inflated last night. Enzo had to be the envy of the male viewers when he "checked" her over.
And what was with those super stupid earrings??!!

So I read this blog everyday, but have never commented until now... just wanted to say today's recap literally had me LOL. My fave line was about Mike being "ALL naranja". And i wanted to add that my husband thinks the voice of the mysterious Napoleon is the Montes de Oca dad from CS09...but who knows. Also yesterday someone asked about the phrase "dejar de a seis"...that means to be stunned. "Me dejo de a seis" meaning "he stunned me". You can also use it with the verb quedar..."me quede de a seis", which means "i was stunned". Thanks everyone for keeping me entertained everyday! Keep up the good work!

Welcome, Isabel B! I love it when readers come out of the woodwork!
Thanks for the vocabulary help, too. I will add that to the spreadsheet.
Thanks for the vocabulary help, too. I will add that to the spreadsheet.
A few more words:
bote - jail (also means can, jar, bounce, boat...some puns were made with double meanings)
me importa un rábano - I don't care (rábano means radish)
sereno - night watchman
ir al caño - to go down the drain
bisturí - scalpel
vivito y coleando - alive and kicking (lit. wagging)
andar con rodeos - to beat around the bush
And one I can't figure out:
agarrar la maroma - ??? So far I've determined that maroma can mean rope, the guilty party, or risky situation. To catch the culprit? To take the reins? I can imagine possibilities but I don't know.

I can understand generally being upset by your sweetie kissing someone else, sure. But to get yourself in a tizzy over something you saw on the cover of a scandal sheet - that's just silly. I didn't notice, but it was probably the same stupid magazine that identified Chela as Pancho's wife a while back.
Anon #1, I assume your comment about guns was directed at me and not at Julia - the difference is that you can shoot yourself and leave the gun on the floor. But with pills, you have to swallow 'em. If you leave 'em on the floor that means you didn't take them.
So either Violeta was faking (or just took a few to make it look good), or else the person who set up this scene didn't consider that people who OD on pills normally don't take extra time to scatter extras around for decoration. (Again - if she dropped them, that means she DIDN'T take them.)

Well, we don't know how many pills she started with. With Violeta it could go either way...she's needy and manipulative enough to fake it for attention, but she's also mentally ill enough to do it for real. Are Vio's parents dead? Does she have no other family? Why are Enzo and Moni the only ones dealing with her?
Sorry, I get Julia and Julie mixed up....
Suicide is thought to be a selfish act for attention.
If a gun isn't handy, then pills, a bridge, a tall building will do. Some believe their is no such thing as attempted suicide......they failed the act to get the attention.
An EMT once told me, the method used in actual suicide, is usually determined by who the person is upset with, how big of a mess is left behind.

I think some people really do mean to die and don't care about attention. Mostly those who are terminally or chronically ill and suffering a great deal. But I don't think we can ever really know what's going on in someone else's mind.
Have I mentioned how much I love Enzo? His expressions and body language when he's stuck in those immensely time-wasting meetings really resonate with me :).

I agree, single car crashes are in many cases suicide. Even with alcohol involved......it's lets the family get the insurance money.
I hope Vivi is back in the US, safe and sound.....she has a lot to catch up on.

Vivi's going to be very confused!
I've only seen the first hour of tonight's so far and have to go to bed soon, but it looks like we're in a comedy drought with no end in sight.
(I remember when I used to be able to stay up all night on Fridays. Now it's the night I'm most likely to conk out before 10. Pathetic!!)

Great Title! I will catch up with the episode first then come back to read later. But, for one and all, get out the party beanies for today is Fernando Colunga's birthday 3/3.
Sorry for the delay... I would have planned my time a little differently if I'd known the Celtics would be playing the Knicks today, so I'm not done with part 1 yet.
