Una Familia Con Suerte #227-228 Fri 4/27/12 Feliz Navidad, Bah Humbug and the Girl Who Couldn't Decide
The Refried:
Tomas is ok after the police operativo.
Candy massages Vins feet, while smelling his shoes, and says she won't leave him. She married him for richer for poorer etc.
The New:
Everyone is throwing Rebe a baby shower. Most of the gifts are Huggies diapers. Dona Rebe tells Rebe that Julio are her are bankrupt. Rebe promises her that she and Pancho will help them. All the guys are at the baby shower too. Rebe tells Pancho her parents are bankrupt.
Except Vins and Enzzo. Vins is having a pity party for one and is hanging out with Enzzo cause he ain't going to no baby shower that has Pancho there, Bah Humbug. Enzzo tells Vins sorry pal this is all your own fault and you should have paid up. Vins uses the excuse of mi's planis went wrong and I got divorced and had to give the Pina all my dinero and property. Bah Humbug. Enzzo goes to the shower, and Vins leaves.
Freddy comes to see his Paps. Candy opens the door for him and asks if she can get him anything, he says no just Paps. Paps comes out and Freddy says he stopped by to say bye cause he is spending Navidad with his Moms and Meli Amors. Paps asks about his bruised face and Freddy tells him he fought with Adrian over Ana. Freddy gives the gifts he brought with him to his Paps and wishes him Feliz Navidad. Paps says he loves his Nene.
Freddy goes to see Ana and tells her he stopped by with a gift for her and tells her he is going to Torreon to spend Navidad with Moms and Meli Amors. Freddy gives her a hug and she thought bubbles about the time he read poetry for her on the cherry picker. She tells Freddy Feliz Navidad and they commence the kissing. Rebe walks in, they totally ignore her and keep on kissing. Ana breaks the kiss and looks totally confused. Freddy tells her he is in love with her. He goes to leave but before he does, he kneels down and kisses Rebe's baby bump and wishes the twins, Rebe, and Pancho Feliz Navidad.
Elena and Orion have come home for Feliz Navidad. They go to Tomas's place.
Julio comes for Christmas and Pancho goes to hug him, but Julio is steaming mad, bah humbug. Pepe steps in and hugs him anyway. I think Pancho tells a mother-in-law joke, and then Dona Rebe does an imitation of Pancho.
Ana is now very confused. She tells Lupe she kissed Freddy.
Doc Oc is talking to Pancho, Rebe, Dona Rebe and some others standing around he is on a new drug therapy and it is doing wonders.
Pepe is trying to find Moni. She isn't answering her cell.
Candy gives Vins a check for all the past due taxes and to get him out of his jam. It was money left to her from Napo. Vins is shocked and somewhat repentant and she says all she wants from him is to say Feliz Navidad. She tells him she is going to Pancho's, he won't go there, bah humbug. Enzzo stops by and gives Vins a present. They have a hug.
Ado has come over to help cook the dinner. Concepcion has come too and brings the baby.
Vins, Enzzo and Arnoldo spend Christmas together.
Ana and Adrian talk. She tells him she kissed Freddy. He is pithed off.
In the cutest scene tonight, Popeye gives Abjea a dog tag with her name on it. They tell each other they love each other and spend Christmas with their beautiful puppies.
Everyone is gathered at Pancho's including Elena and Orion who have come from Australia, I think. Pepe is still looking for Moni. She comes in with Frida. Pepe is really surprised and so is Pancho. They think there will be trouble, but they both go over and greet them. Frida tells Pepe and Pancho that Moni lent her the heels and the dress to come to their party. Pepe is proud of Moni. Later Moni tells Frida she really wants to help her, because she is all alone and she wants to be her friend. They hug.
Adrian tells Ana he is going back to Gaudalajara with his girls cause Ana betrayed him. She says she is confused, but he isn't buying it. He says he spent all this time with her and her mind should have been made up already.
Arnoldo and Enzzo try to convince Vins to come to Pancho's, cause that is where they are going. Vins can't believe it. He hates Pancho. Arnold reminds him that Pancho is not only his brother-in-law but your cousin. Vins says he ain't going, bah humbug. Arnold and Enzzo leave Vins to stew in his bah humbugness.
Everyone but Vins is now at Pancho's party. Pancho gives a speech about all the things he is grateful for. He is grateful for his Ana and Lupe making it thru the kidney transplant (Montage of all that happened), he is happy for Rebe and the twins, happy with Pepe, Moni and Frida being friends, happy he found his Jeffa Dona Fer (Montage of how he found her and how he found out she was his Mama) and happy she found Doc Oc who is now his Papa, happy that Chela and Enzzo are together with little Paquito, happy Adrian has come with his daughters (Pancho doesn't know about the fight), happy Arnoldo is now out of the closet and with Barb, happy that Sebastian is with Pina (even though she isn't there), happy that Chacho and Sanrita are together, happy that Tomas is with them and saved Candy from Napo, happy Candy got the man she wanted (Even though Vins stayed home, bah humbug), happy that Orion and Elena have come home for Christmas, happy that he has Chucha, Ado and Concepcion there (they do a cute little dance). Then he tells Everyone Feliz Navidad.
Vins talks to Nene on the phone, wishes him Merry Christmas and tells him to tell Pina and Meli Amors the same.
Candy leaves that wonderful banquet of food (I have to say here I love the food on this TN) and tells Pancho, Vins is all alone (Mr Pity Party for One Bah Humbug)
Julio is pithed off because Dona Rebe told Rebe and Pancho all of their financial woes, bah humbug.
Pina calls Sebastian and wishes him Merry Christmas with many hugs and kisses.
Sebastian took this call outside and he sees Temo and Adrian's girls playing soccer. He thought bubbles about how he used to play soccer with his son. Temo asks him why he is so sad and if he is ok. Sebastian says he is ok and tells Temo about his son. Temo hugs him and they play soccer.
Candy goes home to Vins. She has a little surprise for Vins, she has a trenchcoat on. She takes it off and she is "Candy Claus" she even says ho, ho, ho. He chases her all over and they end up rocking the house.
In another cute scene, Temo is dressed in a little chef hat and brings Rebe and Pancho breakfast in bed. He tells them about Sebastian's son. He also tells Pancho there is something he wants Pancho to help him with.
That help is to take Temo to the carcel to visit Salome. They walk in there and Temo has some drawings. They bring Salome in with shackels and cuffs. Pancho tells Temo they are never to tell Tomas they were there. Temo runs and gives her a hug. He was happy when she went on that helicopter ride with him and has brought her the drawings he has made of that. She has tears in her eyes. She gives Temo a kiss on the head. Pancho asks her how she ended up with such a bad man as Napo. She says its a long story. She tells Pancho that their coming to see her in the carcel is the best thing that has happened to her, she is crying. Temo, Pancho and Salome have a group hug and Pancho says he'll help her once she is out of the carcel.
Adrian tells his daughters they are going back to Guadalajara cause he and Ana are having problems. The girls aren't liking it. The girls don't want to leave Temo but Adrian tells them they are going and that is that.
Rebe and Pancho talk about Dona Rebe and Julio's problems. Pancho wants to help and will talk to Julio. Dona Rebe comes to talk to Rebe. Pancho goes to talk to Julio. Julio is very mad (bah humbug) cause Dona Rebe spilled the beans to him and Rebe. Pancho tells him he wants to give him a hand cause he is part of the family. Julio, bah humbug, doesn't want no stinking help. Dona Rebe comes in and wants to help Julio see the error of his ways, that he can't get out of this trouble by himself and he needs a hand. Julio is yelling at Pancho and keeps saying he doesn't need no stinking help (bah humbug) especially from Pancho. Rebe tells him to respect Pancho.
Freddy is on his way back and thought bubbles about Ana.
Pepe and Moni are talking about Frida. Pepe is glad she brought her and Moni says she only wants to help her, because the girl is all alone with noone. Moni tells Pepe nothing will ever seperate them again.
Lupe and Ana come to see what all the fighting is about. Julio is still saying he doesn't need anyone's help (bah humbug) and that he is leaving. Pancho clears the room so Rebe and Julio can talk. Rebe tells Julio that Pancho is a great guy who only wants to help him out of his trouble. She tells Julio he and Dona Rebe are now part of the family, and that family is everything to Pancho. Julio, for the first time, starts acting human and cries and tells Rebe not only do they have financial problems, their marriage is in trouble.
In the other room, Dona Rebe is talking to Pancho and the girls and says that Pancho shouldn't worry about Julio. Julio has never supported her in the things she wanted to do and that her marriage is in trouble. She wants a divorce.
Earlier Ana and Lupe talked about Freddy and how confused Ana is. She thought bubbled all about her relationship with Freddy and sleeping with him. He was her first. Freddy comes back from Torreon and brings Ana flowers. He wants to take her somewhere. He takes her to his apartment. She thinks his Moms lives there too, but he says it is his alone. Freddy kisses her and she thought bubbles about Adrian kissing her. She tells Freddy she told Adrian about kissing Freddy. She tells Freddy everytime he kisses her she thinks of Adrian and everytime Adrian kisses her she thinks of Freddy. She is sooo confused. She wants to go home and think about all this.
Tomas goes on another operativo. This time it is drug dealers. They surround the house and Tomas is the first one in. They surround all the drug dealers and round them all up. There is one they didn't see and he is pointing his gun at Tomas. Tomas' fellow officer yells gun, but Tomas is slow to draw and is shot in the arm.

Loved this epi,but not Julio and Vins especially acting like Scrooge. Loved the food they showed. I would have loved to have gone to Pancho's party lol. They are always so much fun.
The Salome scene was a surprise. Maybe Pancho will hire her at Avon once she gets out of the carcel.

Madelaine, Thank you so much for this excellent and clear recap. I liked the party best and the food has been superb throughout this telenovela from Chela ruling the kitchen and seducing the whole family with her great cooking skills to the huge parties with food from all sorts of people.
Vins and Julio were silly in their bah-hum-bugness. It make no sense that Vins continues to hate Pancho or that Candy is so smitten with someone so self-deluded but then perhaps deep thinking isn't her strong suit. I do enjoy her imaginative seductress scenes. They are funny and cheery. Too bad she is wasting her talents on pity maestro Vice. One wonders what she will do if he ends up in jail especially after she wrote a check that I think was ALL of her money that she was given from Napo.

Oh and Ana is driving me nuts too. She is so shallow, I just can't get into her big indecisiveness. She isn't being kind to anyone.
Blue Lass......correction from last Thursday's Blog
Joe's Crab Shack is in the Fredericksburg, Park Central Mail, not Potomac Mills.......sorry for confusion.
Great recap, this TN has lost it's appeal......
How many more weeks?

Madelaine thanks for your recap. I too love the food in this TN. Your theme of bah humbug was so appropriate for Julio and Vice.
ITA w/you Cheryl. I'm not having any patience with Ana and her confusion. Though perhaps Adrian's stalking is akin to kidnapping so she's suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
Also I'm w/you on Candy too. Vince has yet to demonstrate more maturity in his life.

Cheryl ita with you about Ana. I think she really knows who she is in love with,Freddy, but I think Adrian put pressure on her with his girls, and now Ana feels guilty. She only has had one relationship, really, with Freddy. I think it will take her awhile to make up her mind.
If that was all Candy's money, she shouldn't have done that. Candy should have given him half. I have a feeling that Candy and Vins aren't going to be together for long because Vins is such a womanizer.

Madelaine- Muchas gracias. This was a wonderful recap.
I agree that Ana knows she loves Freddy and not Adrian. She does not get all giddy with Adrian's kisses like she does with Freddy's. As much as they have played up Adrian being more mature and secure than Freddy, I see just the opposite. Freddy has never put such a guilt trip on Ana and had such a tantrum. Adrian was acting like a pouty child. He and Julio totally ruined the mood of the party. Bah, humbug indeed!
Vince is just pathetic. If he can't see how he has isolated himself, out of sheer stupidity, then he deserves to be alone. Yes, that was ALL the money Napo left Candy that she gave him. (Hand meet forhead!)
I thought it was very sweet of Temo to visit Salome in jail and bring her drawings.

Thank you, Madelaine! I love your Feliz Navidad/Bah Humbug theme.
Vins is such a baby. Really, he can't hitch up his Huggies and go be civilized to his wife's nice family for a couple hours? Which is also HIS family? LOSER. I truly have no idea what Candy sees in him. Pina is so lucky to be free of him, she should be sending Candy luxe gift baskets every week for life for taking him off her hands.
It looked like that bullet only grazed Tom's arm, but Lupita will be even more of a basket case. I wonder how their story will be resolved. She'll have a miserable life if she's crying and freaking out every time Tom is at work, but she more than anyone deserves a happy ending.
I wonder if Elena found her Mr. Moneybags after all, just in different packaging than she'd hoped for. Orion seems to have no lack of funds for traipsing all over the planet saving it.
Vivi, I agree Adrian is less mature than Freddy. Using his daughters to manipulate Ana into a relationship with him is low, and his tantrums aren't helping his case, either. Ugh. I hope he's left for good.

Julia, your comments about Vins made me lol. He does need some Huggies lol.
I couldn't tell if the bullet hit Tomas or just grazed him. He was holding his arm as if he were trying to stop the flow of blood. Lupe will agonize about this for sure. I know just before this operativo she said the last time he went on one, she couldn't sleep all night.
I wondered about Orion myself. He never seems to be hurting for money, and as far as I know I don't think Pancho has given them any money. He just told them to call home once in a while. By the way I am liking Elena's new Luke. It is like Hippie Chic. I like the long peasent skirt and those nice cotton shirts. This Luke really suits her.

Maybe the bullet will injure Tom just enough that he isn't fit for these dangerous ops anymore and he has to do the less confrontational investigative work.
Hi Madeleine...great recap. Clear, fast-moving and with a great theme.
Favorite quote:
"Pity party for one"
and of course I always love it when recappers note that someone is "pithed off" (gracias originator
Carlos)
"stewed in his bahhumbugness" Another gem.
Just excellent. The episodes though were so sickly sweet for the most part I practically ended up in a diabetic coma.
Love the recaps but can't wait for this one to be over.
Anon#1...yes, especially glad to see that Herron will have a chance with the Bengals. If he does well, we'll have lots of opportunity to read about him in the Columbus paper.

Thanks Madelaine!
I'm getting really tired of Adrian. How many more times is he going to complain to Ana that she hasn't chosen him yet? What a big baby. I don't care for all his pouting, either.
I used to wish that someone would introduce him to Frida, but now I'm thinking Frida deserves better!
As for Ana, it's really tiresome the way she feels she has to update everyone with every new development in her so-called love life. I guess it's better than throwing up, but she needs to find a better way to support her ego.
Doc Oc telling people about his experimental drug therapy - is it just me, or is he starting to repeat himself? ;-)
How many parents would take their kids to prison to visit the woman who took him up on an unauthorized helicopter ride? And Pancho sure was quick to offer his help to Salome. That's nice of him, but shouldn't he check out her backstory first?
Last but not least, I've been wondering about Orion's financial situation too. All that travel is expensive. Of course, deep pockets won't really help Elena in the way she once dreamed of as long as they're living this lifestyle; but she likes the way they're living now, so it's all good either way.

Thank y'all for your great comments. I couldn't resist the bah humbug especially for Vins and Julio. This epi I think was mainly filler, except for Julio and Dona Rebe and Tomas. I enjoyed it though. It was lighter than most epi's.
Madelaine, fine storytelling. Gracias.
Now that Candy's given Vince all her Napo money, I sure hope Vince gets himself reformed for her sake. I wish they would show his parents. Might be a clue as to why he keeps chasing women and blames others for his own mistakes.
ITA that Ana is torn between Freddy and Adrian's daughters, not Freddy and Adrian. I don't even believe she thinks about Adrian when she kisses Freddy. A otro perro con ese hueso.

What do they do with all that wonderful food after finishing the episode?
