Caray, Caray!

Julia thanks for this wonderful snarky recap. I laughed so hard.

Poor Freddy. I really thought he was a goner for sure. I am glad he is alive even though he slept with Kari! And who would have thought Kari would call Ana and tell her Freddy was missing. That was different.

Loved the seance thing with Concepcion. Her rolled back eyes and that flashing fire too funny. When the baby cried they thought it was Napo too funny. I laughed like crazy.

And what is with Chacho? To ask Sandrita to have a baby, without marriage first?

Loved Pina in this episode. I liked that she went after Freddy even though it was at the risk of her own life.

Poor Candy. Napo is just horrible, although off topic, he speaks Italian very well. I don't like what he is doing to Candy at all. That surveillance is weird too.

Vice is just incorrigable. He was probably the one that got poor Lambi thrown in jail. With all his money schemes, they have finally caught up with him.
 

Julia:

When it comes to recapping there's good and there's HOT! This recap is smokin'--all of it. I can't pick a favorite line, there are too many.

I am heaping on the hyperbole, sister. Congrats on one of your best recaps ever.

A quick drive by post from me:

I've just had an Arnold Flowerz sighting on Al-Jazeera of all places! They were reporting on anti-violence activism in Mexico, and the actor who plays Arnold is appearing in a PSA which they showed. I thought it was cool! :)
 

Another jewel, Julia. I'll ditto everything EJ said but add that my favorite line (out of many many) was "agape in the glow of Pina's stunnery". Sheer perfection.
 

Julia, I agree that you had many snarkilicious lines in this recap. There were actually quite a few funny scenes this episode, and others that you made funy with your prose.

Madelaine- I have been wondering for many episodes now why Chacho and Sandra are shacking up and talking about having a baby before they've walked down the isle. We know why Chela and Enzzo didn't do it in that order, but even they are engaged. (It's about time they set a date though.)

So glad to see in the preview that Candy has figured out Nappy is not a ghost. It was just horrible what he was doing to her. The seance was very funny though. Loved baby Paco crying right on cue a few times.

I was shocked that Freddy gave in to Kari's seduction attempt so easily this time. It's not like she hasn't come into his room and undressed before. I guess he figured it's been half a year since Ana dumped him and she's not coming back, so why not? *Sigh*

I am very pleased to see that Pina is getting two love interests. Maybe she'll finally cut the umbilical cord when she's got other people to share her love with.
 

Julia, thanks for this hilarious recap! I also love the format in which you wrote it.

I'm still confused about that scene with Freddy and Kari last night. Watching it, I thought maybe it would turn out to be a dream, since it really came out of nowhere. And then when Freddy went missing, the first person Kari calls is Ana? I guess they needed to wrap that storyline up quickly.

At least, everyone's okay and now we see Pina may have a new man (or two) in her life!

I love our sophisticated creepy stalkers on this show! (Though, at least, Adrian finally got Ana without having to kidnap her.) It just amuses me to wonder where Napoleon finds these fembots that are so willing to very sexily stalk another woman for him?

I can't wait to see what happens next.

Oh, and ITA agree about Chacho & Sandra. He's talking about buying a house and having a baby? Maybe Let's see a ring first! Heh, maybe the show couldn't afford to do yet another wedding.

And, Julia, you're absolutely right: they need to put this Pancho/Isabella thing to bed (no pun intended) already. Maybe they're showing us that even the most righteous men get tempted but that they do overcome it. I hope. (They better be.)
 

Sugar Lily so agree with you the creepy stalkers on this show. I used to like Napo but ever since he kidnapped Rebe and Deborah was killed don't like him so much anymore.

Vivi-yeah the thing with Chacho and Sandrita. Since Chacho always struck me as a proper guy, remember all the stuff with Chato?, I thought he would at least ask Sandrita to marry him before he talked about having a baby with her. Maybe there is baby fever going around and it struck him lol.
 

Julia, I agree with EJ et al - this was a fantastic recap from top to bottom. Funny and complete - you even commented on Fred's sun damage (I noticed it too!) as well as the travesty of having another character named Alex.

When Fred went to bed with Karina I yelled, "you're dead to me!" So then when he got lost in the cave, I started feeling a little guilty. After all, he and Ana are on a break. A really long break.

Arnold and Barbara: so funny. At the very beginning of this TN he seemed to have a crush on her, or at any rate she seemed to be his favorite woman in the world. But ever since then, he's been such an unfocused horndog that it's hard to take his renewed interest seriously.

I'm as tired of the Isabella/Pancho attraction as everyone else. It seems unnecessary. I would have preferred Arnold to have a crush on her first!

But workplace crushes can be fun if they don't go anywhere. I think that's how Pancho is looking at it. Obviously Bella is taking it more seriously, which is certainly ironic given the countless moral, ethical, professional, and personal reasons why it's a very stupid idea.

Great recap Julia! Truly one of your best. I know I say that practically every time but I really do mean it every time.

Pancho's dream was hilarious. It looked like Mayrin was having the time of her life.

Hee, "long-lost twin of Lucrazy" is spot-on. Or is she Tracy's prima, the way she keeps throwing around the English?

The Freddy/Kari pairing...just gross. However I love the Merida and cenote scenes. Too bad I never ran into any Jorges or Sergios when I dove the cenotes. I thought it was rather amusing that Freddy moved away from the area that had a lot of ambient light (i.e. open to the air above) and into the dark cave sections. Dude probably could have just ascended and walked out.

Oh goodie, Chef Hawt is in tomorrow's episode? I'm watching for sure.
 

Good news, everyone. I didn't freeze to death standing around on a pier in the chilly rain all morning.

Was Chacho serious about having a baby right away without even proposing marriage, or was that just his way of announcing his "little problem" was solved? No reason they shouldn't get married. Might even be nice to show that you can be just as married without demanding the cathedral and with just a simple, low-budget wedding/reception.

I, too, was coaching Freddie to go toward the light...but maybe the light showing was just a necessity of filming conditions and we were supposed to believe he was really lost in a maze of caverns with no clear way out. Not impressed with the way Caveman Alex was running things, though.

I{m disappointed in Freddie for giving in to Kari...his immediate, unthinking reaction when she showed up at the restaurant should have told him exactly how he felt about her as his novia.

I loved all the scenery shots around Mérida and the cenote. This episode was easy on the eyes, with the landscapes AND Sergio.
 

Julie, I agree workplace crushes can be fun. I'm a huge fan of them, myself. But I keep those thoughts inside my head, just for my own amusement. I don't tell people about them or talk about them as if they matter. If I were married, I DEFINITELY wouldn't mention them!
 

Well, yeah. I would also try harder to avoid falling on top of, or underneath, the unwitting object of my affection. Especially in front of witnesses.

But that's what separates us from the telenovela characters, I guess. That, and a slew of other things, most of which I'm grateful for. (I wouldn't mind a surplus of guapos, though.)
 

Well, yes, we are not like telenovela characters. If someone seemed on the verge of telling me something juicy or important, and then the phone rang, I wouldn't completely forget about it for a year. As soon as they were free I'd say, "...you were saying?"
 

And if someone wanted to tell me something really really important, but started with a ten-minute preamble, I'll slap 'em and tell them to spit it out. I admit that slapping is very telenovela-ish, but Olympic-level hemming and hawing is even more so.

(If you slap the person and that causes them to get amnesia, you might be a telenovela character!)

On a different note, I'd like to give a heads-up to those who haven't seen tonight's episode yet: If you have access to any antipsychotic medications, now would be a good time to take them.
 

No meds. What about a martini?
 

Hey all, I haven't forgotten about the recap. I'm working on it!
