Una Familia Con Suerte #209-210 Mon 4/16/12 This Episode is Brought To You By The Mexican Medical Society: Get Cures For All Your Ills
So, La Guerra, Ana Maria Torres can’t come play at Pancho’s house she is in training, but she tells Frida to fight for what she wants, (apparently not having met Moni or asked Pepe who he loves), Freddy needs to rescue Ana, begs Pancho, Temo is rescuing Rebe from her veil of tears, someone needs to rescue Pancho from the hot Auditor, Lamberto needs someone to rescue him from Tax Fraud charges as he is whisked off to jail in front of an astounded Agatita (or Katita).
Freddy starts on his campaign to wait outside the bathroom door until Ana opens up although she cries out for help behind the lock. Pancho orders two drinks with Bella until Rebe and Temoc come to rescue Pancho. Temoc asks leading questions about how Freddy is going to help Ana. The maid Chucha fills Rebe in on the lastest with Ana.
Freddy and Ana talk through the door about her inability to forgive so she drove Freddy into Kari’s arms but she is sorry now. Still the tears flow as if a truckload of fresh onions were delivered to the set.
Moni still in her pheasant (no not peasant) jacket talks with Chela with Kari in tow. Chela is barely civil to Kari but acknowledges that she is Moni’s BFF but still her actions toward Freddy = against Ana are eating at Chela who leaves the room.
Frida keeps trying to cuddle up to Pepe and tell him how marvelous it has been with him giving her his total attention all day every day for all these months. She tries to kiss him again and again he gives in. This story line is so smarmy on Frida’s part and so bloody lame on Pepe’s that I think I am going to have a little cry.
Candy and Vicente continue to toast amorously under the sword of Damocles unaware that their idyllic honeymoon is going to bring on the killer bees very, very soon. Kiss and sip while you can lovers.
The Auditrix offers to come back at a more convenient time and Rebe says yes things are quite a mess here with Ana. Pancho really wants to ignore the fiasco in the bathroom and entertain the hot auditor. He gets the call about Lambi and continues to act the ass (heehaw!) They argue about convening back at the office when he can concentrate on the audit at hand, and she leaves then Rebe starts to cry again about oh so many things.
Lupita and Tomas watch the Auditrix leave then come in to tell Pancho and Rebe that Ana is taking some really strange pills and they are all scared. Across the garden, Chela gets the call and leaves Enzo and Paco while she rushes to the family summit meeting. Chucha goes for a key to get Ana’s bedroom unlocked. A major intervention takes place with the Analemia (sorry all you dedicated medical folk, I couldn’t resist the urge.) Pancho orders Lupita to call Doc Oc while Analemia screams and her eye makeup almost runs, well no, it must be those plastic glue-ons.
As she is left at her door step after a forced romantic moment in Pepe’s car, Frida tries with all her might to make the next meeting with Pepe one of lovers, I think. He goes off to check the family. Frida should be aware of how second string she would always be with the Lopez gang or maybe ask Enzo how it goes when the summit is called.
Katita or is it Agatita, Pancho’s secretary has followed to the police station and tries to comfort Lamberto behind the cell bars. He doesn’t understand how he could have been accused of such infamy when he has always been so honest.
Analemia continues her denials when Pepe comes in she stands up to get away from the intervention but falls unconscious into her Papancho’s arms with the full junta standing around. After commercials she is out cold on the bed while Pancho phones to hear Doc Oc give the important information that she needs to be brought in. Brilliant.
The Auditrixy and her blond assistant, Jimena, discuss how missed an opportunity she had to have a sexy dinner with Pancho but the chaos that ensued made that impossible. She is so impressed with this fine specimen of a man, that Audi hopes the irregularities in the books at Avon were not Pancho’s fault.
Sandri and Chacho discuss his need for rescue from impotence I think? What is old and doesn’t function well anymore and how awful is this for a man. Lumbria (fire? or libido) is something else for Sandri. She would rather have the love and faithfulness of a man, that is sexy to her. He still thinks he doesn’t deserve her but she has other plans in her splendid red satin peignoir. He is about to get a fun lesson in middle age compensations.
Isabella (Auditrix) and her assistant Jimena talk about the ideal kind of man like Pancho who is not intimidated by high functioning professional women. They need a plan to find them if they can’t steal one from a high functioning but pregnant woman like Rebe.
Chela finally calls home to update Enzo and Moni who is still in the pheasant jacket that Ana is gravely ill in the hospital again, and now being examined by Doc Oc.
Freddy calls home to scare his MomsAmors that he is in the hospital but explains quickly that it is Ana he is there for sure and he regrets that he will not be able to go away on their trip tomorrow. Adoration is there to encourage Pina to accept that to be really happy, Freddy will eventually be with Ana.
Auditrix has called Pancho again and is offering very kindly to help with the problem with Lamberto’s arrest. Pancho doesn’t want to let go of anything but she reminds him of the chaos surrounding him and this is the least she can do. She realizes that there is some mistake that a man like Lamberto has been accused of so many accounting sins. She makes a call but is told it is not likely Lambi can be sprung this late in the night so we see a forlorn Lambi crying at the gray cell walls. The sky has indeed finally fallen on our poor gallo pequeño. He knew it would come to this end somehow but he swears to the gloom that he has done nothing wrong.
Pancho has his turn to cry for his wonderful daughter Ana. Moni comforts Pepe about his sister and they bond but we see a dark room with Frida replaying her pitch at Pepe and giving him kisses which he does return but doesn’t initiate: DOESN’T INITIATE, FRIDA, are you listening???
Doc Oc and his staff review the weak condition of Ana whose resistance is very low. Chela says it’s because she hasn’t eaten for so long. Temoc cries. Then in the chapel, Pancho cries some more. The very pregnant Rebe can still run as she rushes into the chapel. Pancho is then concerned for her and they leave.
Auditrixi and Jimena discuss that they have no update from Pancho but he is passing through the most difficult time. So Audi has turned into a good one for sure. She appreciates Pancho and looks like she will solve his fiscal nightmares if she can.
Doc Oc affirms that Ana has been taking these dastardly pills for some time and she is now at risk for general renal failure. He can’t lie to them that this could be fatal. We are subjected to another bout of crying all around.
Pepe hears that Doc Oc must wait to see how Ana reacts to the treatment. For now her vital signs are stable. Temoc takes it the hardest or maybe Chela. Ana is so important to all of them.
The Family lawyer show up to rescue Lambi telling him that he can get him out but has to talk to Pancho who is now occupied otherwise with his ill daughter. The fine must be paid and so Lambi should hang cool while the lawyer can get the mess straightened out when he can get Pancho’s attention. Lambi understands but cries some more.
The family has been up all night apparently and discuss how Enzo needs to take Chela to see her baby and Dona Fer thinks Rebe better go rest to protect her babies. She resists leaving Pancho but finally agrees to go with Enzo and Chela for a rest.
The universal phone ring tells Pancho that someone is calling Ana for work, he answers just as Chucho’s phone rings exactly the same and he gets astounding news.
Enzo and Chela leave Rebe resting with the promise that he will go to work since no one is in at their level at Avon and Chela will be across the garden with her baby if Rebe needs anything.
The phones keep ringing, Frida calls her AMOR Pepe and finds out he can’t come for her. She looks ready to fly to the hospital. Moni looks worried on the side. And here she (Frida that is, I know this is coming so fast) comes in the hospital to jump Pepe while Moni watches sadly. (Did I say how much I HATE this story line? But no one is listening to me.) After commercials, Moni stomps out of the waiting room. To add insult to injury Adrien shows up and in front of Freddy asks Pancho how the lovely Ana is doing and how concerned he is for her.
Lovely Barbara in that one shoulder cocktail dress for breakfast gives tea and sympathy to Rebe who is in bed but still dressed with makeup and jewelry just in case.
At Avon, Dona Fer takes over the audit and assures Auditrix that Lamberto is honest as the day is long and if anything of his accounts is off she is sure it is nothing more than an error. She acknowledges that he is an extremely nervous type which doesn’t look good but means nothing.
Enzo tries to assess the office needs with Agata while Chela calls saying there is no milk for Paco but Ador’s mom shows up behind her with a bottle all ready so all is well and one baby is saved! Whew!
Pina actually shows up at the hospital to comfort Freddy and even hugs Pancho. Sandi pulls Chucho into a medical office hall way concerned that he is not all functioning apparently unaware of the Lopez debacle. Doc Oc shows up to say Ana probably needs a kidney (riñon) transplant.
Dona Fer helps Lami get through the audit questions and says the overcharges (recargos) will have to be repaid. Lambi laments that he has no money.
Moni cries in Enzo’s arms that Frida showed up to take over Pepe so she came to Enzo’s office to cry.
Lupita tells Rebe there is no news but Rebe begins to cry again that Pancho is so worried he is at the hospital. She continues to cry to Barbara.
The slick politico shows up and asks to see Enzo. He thinks Enzo must want more than to be a vice president? He offers Enzo a presidency in another company. Too slick to understand all of it.
Moni pouts dry eyed about Frida’s invasion to Chela. Pancho cries to Lupita that he is not a compatible match to donate a kidney to Ana and she is probably going to die. Pepe points out that one of the kids may be compatible. Temoc says he will give anything to save Ana. Pancho has to tell him he is too young. Adrien actually works on Temoc to distract and calm him. He is so good with kids.
The slick guy keeps urging Enzo to do business so Enzo finally agrees to take his papers to think about the offer when he looks at the papers he says but this company isn‘t here. Where is it ? Monteray is the happy answer. So it seems it is an offer to be president of his company. Enzo is still puzzled but gets rid of the political for a moment.
Moni gets the “lucha para el” speech from Chela. Who cares if it is Frida, Fulana or Mongana. It is time for Moni to realize her own worth and fight for Pepe if she wants him back. Chela gives her the best step-moms pep talk as if she were one of her nieces. Moni looks full of determination before we go off to commercials and tales of the prostitutes dogging the poor secret service guys on their visit to Colombia. Oh noes! Those pesky Colombianos make us smoke stuff, sniff stuff and now xxxx stuff? For shame! (Sorry I couldn’t help it.)
Pancho has a woman doctor explain the bulimia process and effects to him. Seems very thorough and well presented.
Chacho and Sandru wait for the doctor to cure his problem and restore his self esteem. When he is called by the receptionist, Sandru makes him go into the doctor’s office alone. The doc takes out a glove and prepares to check his prostate to see if there is inflammation, but Chacho doesn’t let go of his jeans or his lollipop so how is this going to happen? This is a bit of stupidity in an otherwise fairly straight forward “all medical all the time” episode. Is this the comic relief?
Adrien and Freddy square off about Ana and who has the right to love her more.
Moni shows up asking to talk with Tomas about what has happened. Tomas updates her while Frida glares.
Chacho minces out of the office and teases Sandra with his problem but then proudly assures her that his equipment is all just great. He hobbles out of the office with her in tow.
Pancho visits the sleeping Ana. He cries that he tried to give her his kidney but cannot. He hopes she knows he would do anything for her.
Candi adjusts Vicente’s tie as he plans to go to the office in his suit I think. They kiss and he leaves. She calls Chela who is putting on makeup.
Pepe shows up in the waiting room saying he is not a match to Ana either so it remains for Lupita to be tested. Frida all proprietary as though if she acts like Pepe’s lover she soon will be, but he sits across from her and can see Moni walk in behind Frida. Moni is playing the conversation in her head of Chela’s pep talk to fight for her love. She walks right in with a warm smile and sits down next to Pepe giving him the most passionate of kisses which he obviously enjoys. As Moni walks away, Frida acts all bent out of shape (why did she assume what she obviously assumed? Who knows why they are making all the poor girls in this show such mindless immoral wretches, can you all see smoke coming out of my ears right now?)
Doc Oc talks to Pancho alone to say that he has tested his two children and only one is compatible to make an organ donation and it is …..Lupita.
Next time: More tears, the scary pre-operation moment between the sisters, and the reentry of Vicente to the office so I think we shall see soon what he thinks of the irregularities in the books…
Freddy starts on his campaign to wait outside the bathroom door until Ana opens up although she cries out for help behind the lock. Pancho orders two drinks with Bella until Rebe and Temoc come to rescue Pancho. Temoc asks leading questions about how Freddy is going to help Ana. The maid Chucha fills Rebe in on the lastest with Ana.

Thanks Cheryl. This was wonderful and up so quickly. At least all the docs in this episode were shown to know their stuff and to not be corrupt. Although, I don't think they will convince any Mexican men to get their prostates checked after this episode.
If Friday was the episode of hysterical women, this was the episode of hysterical men-- Pancho, Temo, and Lambi all got their many moments to wail and tear their hair out.
These writers wouldn't pull a Fuerza del Destino move on us with this kidney transplant, would they?! I don't trust them since the loss of Alex.
I did have to agree with Lamberto that there was a cascade of bad luck. Wow! How many more calamities could befall the Lopez and their amigos. Ana nearly dying; Lambi in jail; possibly more accounting irregularities; Chela's breast milk drying up... Rebe was looking so weak that I thought for a bit that something bad was about to happen to the babies.
Tomorrow Vince meets Isabella and it looks like he's tempted. How quickly that man strays!

Good evening, Vivi, Thanks for the quick comment. It is always reassuring when someone friendly responds the same night you post. Now I can go to bed happy and content. Yes, I had a Fuerza del Destino flashback too. Oh, please no, no, no!
This part of the novela is hard for me since the plot lines seem more contrived than the earlier ones. I am glad the themes of health care are being presented but they can be kind of boring to recap.

Add me to the list of folks having Fuerza flashbacks. I would not want either of the girls to die.
I confess to being nervous.
Thanks for the recap Cheryl. I didn't pay close attention to the episode, but it struck me as somewhat "meh" to recap. I thank you for enduring Temo's wails. They drove me nuts last night.

Morning Cheryl. Yes, I know as a recapper you want at least one comment before going to bed, so I'm happy to do it for others. Plus, you got it up so quickly. It was a great pre-bed read. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who flashed back to Fuerza.
Anyone out there who knows more about babies and breastfeeding than I do, can breast milk really just dry up overnight because a woman experiences stress? This is like the third time I've seen this in a tn. I know it's just a plot device to allow that female character to leave her baby behind and move all around in the plot, without having to keep her baby strapped to her to feed every few hours. But is it based on anything real? These writers need to start writing in breast pumps so we can leave this silly plot device behind. (Are you listening writers?)

Thanks for the super-early recap. The laughs in it was a good way to start my day. My thoughts:
Lopez's y company turn hospitals into zoos.
I'd like to strangle that wailing Temo, he's so over-the-top. Same with Lamberto.
Moni still in her bird feathers!Does she have a clue how awful she looks in that tree-brown body suit with arms that look like they could fly?
Chucho was nice comic relief for the evening. How nice his "equipo" is fine. I'd like to know how the doc did his exam with those jeans still on. Really laughed when Chucho asked where the prostrate was!
I've really gotten into the 2 hrs each night after not liking it at first. Not much else on TV anyway.

Good morning and thanks Sara. I am just hoping that the young actor playing Temoc isn't permanently damaged psychologically by being made to wail endlessly like that. And they should know we are not all that in to it. sheeesh!
Vivi, I thought the breast feeding ploy was sad. I have no idea if it is realistic for Chela's milk to have instantly turned off like a faucet, but again the writers ought to think this out for the next time. We are NOT that happy with this unnatural turn of events. It bothered me that Chela left Enzo and Paco in a heart beat when Pancho called for the summit. That is why I was cautioning Frida!
Conejita, I'm glad I made for some morning laughs. I knew it was bound to be a frustrating episode since too many happy things happened last week but the copious weeping became funny. I am surprised that I have gotten so used to recapping the two hour episdodes let alone watching them. I find I get into a rhythm on Mondays and before I know it the two hours are over. It still takes me another couple of hours to clean up the writing since I tend to do it while I watch Abysmo then No Podia Amar.
My only regret is that I miss the William Levy moments on Dancing with the Stars. I am so glad he has done so well. Did anyone notice that he has the cover of People (and People in ENGLISH) He has really made the cross over to the US audience so he is a superstar in both English and Spanish. I wonder if he will try movies next.
Vivi, I thought the breast feeding ploy was sad. I have no idea if it is realistic for Chela's milk to have instantly turned off like a faucet, but again the writers ought to think this out for the next time. We are NOT that happy with this unnatural turn of events. It bothered me that Chela left Enzo and Paco in a heart beat when Pancho called for the summit. That is why I was cautioning Frida!
Conejita, I'm glad I made for some morning laughs. I knew it was bound to be a frustrating episode since too many happy things happened last week but the copious weeping became funny. I am surprised that I have gotten so used to recapping the two hour episdodes let alone watching them. I find I get into a rhythm on Mondays and before I know it the two hours are over. It still takes me another couple of hours to clean up the writing since I tend to do it while I watch Abysmo then No Podia Amar.

I just loved that bulimia-expert gal -- such beeyootiful enunciation. I want her on all my TNs.

Thank you Cheryl! I loved loved loved "pheasant jacket." (I also enjoyed when Moni shoved her coffee at Tomas as she approached Pancho at the end.) Did she actually offer to be tested as a kidney donor as well?
Figures Lupita would be the only match. If anyone there deserves to have an odd number of kidneys, it's her - she deserves to have THREE.
The deal with the slick guy is that he HAD been working for the politcal party but no longer is, and is now a headhunter for a big telecom company. But it's interesting that this is the second time he's tried to poach a high-ranking Avon officer. Coincidence? Hmm...
Temo was really getting on my nerves. He's grown a lot, physically, in just the last month or two and now really looks too old to be such a wailer. Thank goodness for Adrian. I like that he understands that Ana prefers Fred but still showed up to support her. (He should prolly be home with his kids instead, but I enjoy his company, so I don't mind if he doesn't!)

I too was bothered by Chela running off to the Lopez house at the drop of a hat. She has her own family to tend to now. The drying up milk story line was not needed. There were more than enough crises going on as it was.
Someone needs to put a lid on Temo and his overly dramatic crying. Its pitiful and annoying.

Cheryl, great recap. It was tough to watch all the weeping and anguish and foolishness last night, but I love your take on all of it. You made me laugh, which I couldn't do at all last night.
At last, Moni stands up on her hind legs. Hope Pepe will soon do the same.
Poor Lambi – when the sky finally fell in, he was all alone without Pancho.
I like Enzo but have never seen him (or Vince) do anything worthwhile for Avon. Wonder why that company wants him.

Cheryl, what masterful wordsmithery.
Some of my favorite lines:
"Still the tears flow as if a truckload of fresh onions were delivered to the set."
"Candy and Vicente continue to toast amorously under the sword of Damocles unaware that their idyllic honeymoon is going to bring on the killer bees very, very soon." Such a clever line! I think it's odd how Candy keeps pushing Vice away while he's clutching and kissing her.
"He is about to get a fun lesson in middle age compensations."
I suppose the urologist visit was supposed to be comic relief, but it was sort of bizarre and stupid. That doc needs a new bedside manner, and really, the jeans on? Just cut away and let us assume he undressed; putting the drape over his clothes was just weird. Although, in Cuidado we learned that a baby can be born through jeans, so I guess a prostate exam is no big deal.
The Auditrix...hee hee. Personally, I do not see her appeal at all. She looks very artificial and overprocessed to me. But we're supposed to believe she and Pancho have an instant attraction and...what? Surely they will not pursue this just because Rebe's being a little nutty, right?
Lupita had better not die. We need her stability to balance things out! Plus, Tomas would go off the rails, and I was starting to really like him.
Is dressing in a bird costume a thing now? Pina was wearing a feathery thing, too, although hers was black with a little sparkle, so it didn't look quite so bad (maybe better suited for a different occasion, though).

Pina can wear just about anything, feathers and all, and it looks good since she is cute and has a nice body for clothes, unlike Moni who looks awful esp with that horrible hair.

Thanks for the recap Cheryl. I'm with you about being frustrated with the Moni/Pepe/Frida plot. Basta!
Yes, Vivi I had flashes of Fuerza del Destino too. And Lupita has been through so much. Basta!

Here's something you guys are overlooking....the TN is also dealing with the husband that strays from the wife while the wife is pregnant.
Let's see how it plays out in the eyes of the writers....many men have strayed when the wife is pregnant.
What if Chela's baby turns out to be Ponchos? This is also possible. Poncho hooks up with Isabellazon and he could have 3 baby momas..
Just speculating......

Chela and Pancho never had sexual relations, so if her baby is his they should alert the Vatican.
I don't think Pancho will actually stray...he is supposed to be the hero of this show (I still don't like him, though) and he and Rebe are actually married now. I think Auditrix will just cause a lot of commotion. Jimena seems to have her head on fairly straight...maybe she'll keep her boss in line. Maybe she'd like Adrian, also, and get him off Ana's trail.

Did not like how the whole family was called in to deal with Ana's problem. I know if I were in bad shape like that, having a dozen people swarm on me to yell about it would only make things worse. Pancho and Rebe should have kept the crowd away and just brought the doc in.
Hey Julia, dont call the Vatican just yet, they did share the same bed, at least once.....Poncho is not a Priest....lol

Well, one can't get pregnant just from sharing the same bed, and nothing more happened. Chela clearly stated this later.
Julia noted all my favorite lines. It was such a well written recap. The show I'm finding absolutely unwatchable. Doesn't sound like there was anything funny last night, just a lot of clumsy, heavy-handed PSA's. (Hmmm...and I'm sounding like a cranky old grannie...disculpe!)
Anyway, thanks for enduring this and doing such a fine job Cheryl.

There was one tiny moment last night that I thought was sort of funny...when Moni decided to go for it with Pepe, she abruptly handed her coffee off to a startled Tom, and then Freddie took it and drank it. I guess it was the contrast in their reactions to both Moni and the coffee that I found amusing.
Woops... I thought I had mentioned the coffee thing in my comment, but I screwed up and said Pancho instead of Pepe. (I've even done that in recaps, mixing up Pancho and Pepe's names.) She shoved her coffee at Tom so fast I thought she would hit him with it!

Ah, yes, Julie, you did mention the coffee scene. Where has my reading comprehension gone?
I also liked the scenes of Enzo with the baby, but did not like how Chela just ran off and left them. Now, maybe she just expected to be gone for a couple minutes, but I think it's time for the family to decide that not EVERYTHING is the sort of crisis which requires EVERYONE's presence. Especially someone with a brand-new baby to take care of. Chela and Los Lopez should put a little more thought into what her priorities need to be.
I also did not like all the blankets and bumpers and stuffed animals in the crib. Suffocation hazard!
