Iglesia PDA-Sanctuary 8:00 PM Punto
Yes, I will marry you, Damien! Dalisa rush into one another’s arms and begin a heavy petting session. After a while, Padre Lupe uncomfortably clears his throat. Excuse me, he says, but do you think you can molest one another outside? God frowns upon parishioners groping each other in front of the pulpit. It says so in the Bible. Trapped in a heated clinch of sexual lust and wanton frenzy, at first Dalisa do not respond to him. Damien, I swear that I will get a hose! Lupe gets their attention by making a loud noise with his hat. If the Padre had not interrupted, I’m certain that Damien would have deflowered Elisa on a nearby pew. He’s freaky like that. Anyways, Damien tells Lupe that he got all excited because Elisa had just agreed to marry him. Well, then that’s understandable, says the padre. Damien wants his uncle to marry them immediately. Lupe says no. He wants them to do things the right way and not in secret. Damien says if he won’t do it, they’ll have a civil ceremony. Dalisa leaves.Iglesia Court Yard PDA-Dalisa Road Show
The novios walk outside hand and hand. Damien verbally lists out all of the documents they will have to have in order to marry. He punctuates each item with a kiss. Elisa wants to know how he already knows what they will need. Duh, I was going to marry Florencia last week. She doesn’t look too thrilled about that response. He gives her a couple smoochie poos. She asks him if he regrets breaking up with Florencia. No, he didn’t love her anymore. He only loves Elisa. He feels for her what he has never felt for any other woman. (Now I want to throw my bloomers at him). She feels the same way. He softly says her name, but tries to contain himself from throwing her on the grass and ravishing her in front of the church. She demands a little kiss, but little kiss isn’t part of Damien’s vocabulary. Once he tastes her lips, he has to have more. More inappropriate PDA on the church lawn. They have no shame.Casa de Don Lucio’s
Lupe Kravitz wastes no time in spreading the wonderful news. Practically before the lovers left the church lawn (he must have ran right past them), Lupe was over at Don Lucio’s announcing that the novios were getting married immediately. He explains how that made out between the Virgin Mary and the communion table. Lupe notices that Lucio isn’t as enthusiastic about the nuptials as he could be. Lucio tells him that he supports them, but he needs time to remove all doubt that he has about them. Lupe doesn’t understand. I did what you told me to do, he says. I refused to marry them. Tell me why I refused to marry them. Don Lucio won’t tell him. I’m a priest. I’m sworn to keep confessions and secrets. The only person that can help Lupe is Dr. Whipped, says Lupe. I can’t put that kind of pressure on anyone. Dr. Whipped’s Hotel Room
Damien apologizes for bothering the doctor at the hotel room but, they need medical clearance. With the door wide open, they discreetly announce that they are getting married in the tomorrow. The doctor explains that they will need to take a blood test in order to ensure that their blood types are compatible. If the blood types are not compatible, their children will take the really short bus to school. He writes an order and suggests a clinic in Merida. With the door still open, Damien asks Dr. Edmundo Whipped Kravitz Tovar to be discreet. He tells him not to worry. Mrs. Kravitz walks in. She wants to know what Dalisa was doing there. He says none of your business and asks what she wants. She wants to talk to him about his son, Little Enrique. He looks shocked. Witch Mountain
Due to her extreme happiness, today, Elisa will be unable to fulfill her obligation to cry at least once per episode. During her hiatus, Paloma will temporarily assume the role of the sobbing victim.Paloma is upset because Gael left. In my opinion, Paloma isn’t putting her heart into this task. When she’s cries, there’s no high-pitched annoying whining or histrionics. Ramona wants to know why Paloma didn’t tell her that Gael left town. Why would I tell you that? She tells her Grandmother that Gael doesn’t love her. He’s crazy for Elisa. She’s upset that she couldn’t convince him to stay in La Ermita. She would be happy just staring at him. Ramona sits nearby, nodding. Then Ramona asks her Paloma what she would do if Gael returns and hooks up with Elisa. Would she accept that? I think she says that she would accept it, but she would hate Elisa forever. Commercial.
Dr. Whipped’s Hotel RoomDr. Whipped and Mrs. Kravitz (Begonia, his wife) discuss Little Enrique and his obsession with Florencia. Dr. Whipped says that Enrique is not a child, but a man. She’s not picking up what he’s putting down. Why does he have a set of twin beds in his room? He wants to discuss his wife’s obsession with Alfonsina. Why does she want to be like her? She tells him that Alfonsina is a good example. He tells her that she is not a good example. Alfonsina is bitter because her husband cheated on her and she lost him young. He tells his wife to stop getting all up into Alfonsina’s business and worry about her own family. I can never talk to you, she yells. He opens the door and tells her to leave. He slams the door behind her. You go Dr. Gru A Par!
Casa de ArangoTonight, Damien’s got kisses and smiles for everyone! First he walks in and greets Tonia (who’s headlights are covered up today) with a kiss. She gives him his newspaper. His mother wants to know if he’s got any kisses for her. He does. Alfonsina smells a rat. Why are you so damn happy? No reason in particular, he says and tries to walk away. Tell me the truth Damien. Does this have anything to do with Elisa? Oh yeah! I get to see her naked on Monday! He feels uncomfortable telling his carnal thoughts about Elisa to his mother, but he does share with her that Elisa is his girlfriend. He does not want to discuss it. Alfonsina tells him that she will not argue with him; however, she will never accept that relationship. She will disinherit him if he doesn’t leave Elisa alone. He doesn’t care about her threats. He’s been mentally planning several kama sutra positions ever since his fiancé agreed to marry him. He gives her another kiss. Good night, ma.
Casa de Arango-KitchenBraulio and Vincente are sitting at the table. Tonia brings Braulio and Vincente a plate. Vincente is giving Braulio the stink eye. Braulio tells Tonia that Gabby offered Vincente a job as his assistant. Tonia has a Code Red San Onofre power plant meltdown. She’s yelling and screaming and pounding on the table (Italian?). You will not have anything to do with Gabby ever. The only thing he can teach you is how to be an incredibly sexy and virile thug with great abs! The reason that Gabby offered him that job was to screw with me, says Braulio. Vincente stands up and tells Braulio that he’s a nobody and anyone can tell him what to do. He doesn’t want to be like him. Vincente storms off from the table and gets away with his teeth. If I was Braulio, I would have been handcuffed in the back of the police car by now.
Casa de Castanon-Agosto’s Office Elisa is frantically searching for her birth certificate. Lolita enters the room and asks what she’s looking for. Elisa jumps! Elisa tells Lolita that she and Damien are getting married and they need the certificate for their blood tests and marriage certificate. Elisa invites her to be a witness. Lolita is all excited for her and helps her search. Just as Lolita pulls it out of the folder, Carmina hobbles in on crutches. She is really milking that sprained ankle. I’ve seen people give birth in less time. Anyways, back to the story. She wants to know what they’re doing. They tell her that they are looking for Estefania’s property papers. Carmina does not buy it.
Casa de Don Lucio-Violation of all Possible HIPPA Rules and RegulationsDr. Gru a Par relays to Don Lucio the events of the evening. You told me that they were getting married, but I didn’t expect them to come to my hotel. They’re getting married on Monday. I told them about the medical certificate, but Damien already knows what to do because of his engagement to Florencia. Don Lucio and Dr. Gruapar discuss the blood test. Lucio wants to ensure that the novios are not siblings. Dr. Gruapar says that he has ordered blood test and a paternity test. He’ll get the results first.
Casa de Don LucioAgosto rings the doorbell. He’s come over to talk to Lucio, but it’s not important. Don Lucio tells him that he might as well talk, now that he’s there. Agosto wants to know what was in Rosendo’s car on the night that he crashed with Estefania. Lucio tells him that the car only contained Rosendo’s suitcase full of clothes and nothing more. Estas seguro? Yes. Absolutely. Lucio wants to know why Agosto is asking questions like this. No reason. I just wanted to come to your house in the middle of the night and ask a cryptic question about my dead wife and her lover. See ya later.
Assessors Office and Clinic-PDADalisa happily enter the assessor’s office. They are both young, in great shape, they look ecstatic and they can’t keep their hands off one another. Can I get a volunteer to hold her down while I punch her? She gives the clerk her birth certificate. He holds her while he signs the marriage certificate and they kiss. Later, at the clinic, they sit down to look at some forms. He’s written “I love you” on his folder. He switches folders. She reads it and then they kiss. She gets her blood drawn and they kiss. He stretches out his sinewy rock hard arm for his blood test and they kiss. He pretends that the pain of the needle is so great that they continue to kiss throughout his blood draw and I am getting sicker by the second. Somebody else take over this recap because I have to throw-up from all of the love.
Witch MountainOh good! The phlebotomist hosed off Dalisa and managed to separate the two lovebirds from each other. Anyways, once again, Elisa is there to cheer up Paloma. Elisa asks Paloma about Gaels departure. Tearful Paloma, barely audible, tells her the Gael is gone. He didn’t tell Lupe his plans either. She wants to know if Elisa has come to know how special he is now that she’s broken up with Damien. Elisa tells Paloma that she and Damien are getting hitched. I hold my breath. I’ve got the suicide prevention line on speed dial just in case Paloma wants to jump through one of the windows. False alarm! Paloma seems genuinely happy for her friend. They hug. Oh my gosh! If you’re marrying Damien, that means Gael will be all mine! Congratulations! Elisa asks if Paloma will be her witness with Lolita. Yeppers, cuz I want to make damn sure that you are officially off the market before Gael gets back. When’s the wedding? Tomorrow. Close up of Paloma’s shocked expression. Commercial.
Casa de Don LucioSo, Elisa has agreed to marry you? Yes, Don Lucio, says Damien. Since Don Lucio was a friend of Rosendo, Damien wants him to be a witness. Lucio looks constipated. Damien wants him to support his decision to marry Elisa. Lucio says of course, but he’s not sure. Lucio wants to know how Alfonsina reacted. Damien doesn’t care. Tomorrow’s my wedding night and I am about to go buck wild! My bad. I forgot she’s like a daughter to you. I’m not telling my mother until the deed is done and over with. Lucio wants to know why they are doing everything in secret. It’s not a secret Don Lucio. Don Lucio tells him that tomorrow is too soon and suggests sometime next week. If our parents find out about our plans to marry, they will ruin everything. Damien is getting irritated from all of the stalling. Are you for us or against us? Be upfront about it. Don Lucio assures Damien that he supports them; he just thinks that next week will be better. He tells Damien that he may not show up tomorrow because of prior business. Damien says that only death will keep him from marrying Elisa (Now I want to throw my bra at him too).
Casa de Mickey and MalloryIngrid is searching for something. She screams out Gabby’s name. She’s not wearing the necklace.
Casa de CastanonCarmina lets Gabby into the foyer. He knows that she went to visit Ingrid. He shows her the custom made necklace with no identifiable customized markings. She’s reaching for it, but she’s not quick enough. He tells her that it’s the necklace that she stole from her sister to keep him quiet. He calls her a thief and an adulterer. She demands the necklace. The pearls are wrapped around his hand. He tells her that if she bothers Ingrid one more time, he will give the necklace to Agosto and tell him everything. I have never in my life been so attracted to Gabby than I am right now. Gabby is almost shouting in the foyer. At that exact moment, Agosto interrupts. He wants to know how Gabby got Estefania’s pearls. Gabby tells him that he gave the necklace to the woman at the bank. Years ago your wife…. (he deliberately didn’t say which one) gave it to me for his silence. Carmina corrects him (Estefania, Estefania gave it to him)! Gabby begins again. Years ago, um…yes your wife, Estefania gave it to me for doing some favors for her and his boss (God rest his soul). Agosto wants to know where the rest of the jewelry is. Gabino doesn’t know what happened to the rest of the jewelry. Agosto wants the necklace. Gabby says no. It belongs to my woman. I’ve had this for a lot of years. I didn’t steal anything. Agosto offers to buy it. Back off, buddy! My woman is keeping the necklace, besides, you can’t afford to by this necklace back. He exits. I was wrong. Now I am more attracted to Gabby than I have ever been. There cannot possibly be a better boyfriend. Commercial.
Mexico City-Rappers LakeGuido and Florencia are strolling along the lake in distracting Easter Egg pastel track suits. Guido should be seriously wearing a black Kango hat with gold chains, and screaming into a microphone. Anyways, Guido tells her daughter that he saw her with some guy last night. He wants to know his name. She avoids telling him that it was Enrique.
Case de Dr. Gruapar less Dr. GruaparEnrique hurries into the house with his luggage. He kisses his sister who is sitting at the kitchen table. He tells her about his time with Florencia in Mexico. He’s still speaking when his mother enters the room. She wants to know where he’s been. I’ve just returned from Mexico. She tells him to get out. She made it very clear that if he went to Mexico, he was not welcome back in the Casa de Gruapar (menos Dr. Gruapar). Enrique is shocked. She points to the door.
Casa de Castanon-Home officeAgosto is sitting at his desk looking bummed when Carmina hobbles in. He wants to know what happened to the rest of those jewels. She tells him not worry about the past; worry about what’s happening now. Yesterday, Elisa was in your office looking for Estefania’s field papers. She is so evil. I love her.
Restaurante PDADalisa is looking at the blood test document. She says something about Damien having a rare blood type. He inherited it from his father. Damien wants to know what else they need. She lists everything that they have already accomplished. They just need the medical certificate. Damien tells her that Lucio won’t be his witness. He’ll ask Braulio if Lupe won’t do it. She says that they have one more important thing to do. She kisses him and shyly looks around to make sure no one was looking. Are you kidding me? They practically had sex in front of a priest and she’s worried about the people seeing them kiss in a restaurant? Damien wants to spend the entire day with her so time will go faster (They make me sick, but Awwwwwwhhhhh. That is so cute.). They gather all of their papers and leave the restaurant. He checks her butt out as she goes ahead of him. Commercial.
CenoteDalisa are sitting on a rock with their feet in the water. She doesn’t like that they have to hide like criminals. Everyone that they love knows that they are getting married: Lupe, Paloma, Lucio and Dolores. He tells her that he told his mother. You told your mother that we’re jumping the broom. Do I look dumb? No, I just told her that I’m crazy for you. She’s going to disinherit me for marrying you. Will you still love me if I’m poor? Yes, of course. She wishes Gael, her mother and Blanca could come. And my father too? She suggests that they visit the cemetery. These two are certainly sicko exhibitionists.
Restaurante Date NightHoracio is sitting at a table drinking a cool beverage. Lolita walks in. He’s quite the half-gentleman. He stands when he sees her, but doesn’t pull out her chair. Meanwhile, Braulio and Tonia are seated at a nearby table. Tonia points out that Dolores has to be pretty desperate for a husband to be hanging out with Horacio and I kind of agree with her. Braulio wants to know why Tonia is always making little digs at Dolores. He tells her that their leaving (so much for date night). Horacio kisses Lolita’s hand. She smiles. Looks like he’ll get to carry her milk home after all.
Casa de CastanonMy boyfriend’s back and he’s back at la casa. Hey na Hey na, yeah my boyfriend’s back! Gabby returns to the Casa de Castanon. Carmina opens the door. He wants to remind her that he can take her down in a Mexico City minute. The jewelry is mine, the house is mine. Leave Gingrid alone. He kicks her crutch and lets himself out. He is a keeper. He got Ingrid a house and she doesn’t have to work. He’s sexy and extremely virile. He gets her jewelry. He kidnaps for her and he’s very protective of her. He accepts her faults and realizes that he has his own. What more can I want? Agosto hears the door close and comes into the foyer. Who were you talking to? Horacio, she says. He tells her that he’s going to the cantina. She asks him to drink alone. She doesn’t want him sleeping over at some chick’s house again. He asks where she’s going. She doesn’t know. When he opens the door, Alfonsina steps in. She does not look happy.
Cemetery-PDA PervertsVisiting a cemetery in order to talk to dead people is a fun date? This is why I prefer to date Gabby in my dreams. Dalisa are standing over Estefania’s grave looking at the pitiful little wooden cross marker. Elisa asks Damien to tell her about his father. He was the best father in the world. He just cheated on my mother all the time and was abandoning us when he died. That’s why mother is bitter and hates the world. And your mother? How was she? I have great memories of my mother, says Elisa. Elisa bends down to touch the marker. Damien lifts her up, hugs her and kisses her. They make the sign of the cross and walk away.
Casa de Castanon-FoyerCarmina tells Alfonsina to make the conversation quick. Agosto has to get drunk and she’s got to go boink Paolo. I came to talk to your husband, not you. Run along now, sweetie! Carmina is shocked when Agosto tells her to leave, but she excuses herself. They go into his office for the private conversation and leave the door wide open so others can hear. He tells her that he doesn’t want to talk about Elisa marrying Paolo. Alfonsina has come to discuss the situation between Elisa and Damien. Didn’t he know that they are going together? He looks confused. I’m confused too. Last week, she told him that Elisa was messing with Paolo. She tells him that she will destroy him if he can’t keep his daughter away from Damien. She even offers to buy his property so that he can take Elisa far away. He says that he would never sell his property to her. They argue over who has less control of their free, Latino and over the age of 21 children. He tells her to get the hell out of his house. Credits.

Cynderella , this was a hilarious, well crafted recap that was a laugh a minute all the way through! One of my favorite parts was the way you juxtaposed discreet, door wide open and Mrs. Kravitz ! You so nailed that scene and really, every other one in the episode! Thanks!
We had several so overwhelmingly ironic statements made in this capitulo, I had to laugh:
(my translations!)
Alfie to Damian: if you continue with Elisa, you can forget about ME and all your inheritance! (Lady, your ONLY SON is planning a wedding without you, he has already "forgotten" you!)
Gab to Augusto: You can't buy back your dead wife's pearl necklace because you have no money. (Gabino, Augusto has no money because YOU burned his barn down!)
Dr.Tovar to Begoñia: Now you will really be like your idol Alfonsina, ALONE! ( Dr. T, that was such GOOD one and soooooo perfectly executed! The door almost clipped her! Viewerville loved it!)
Ramona to Paloma: Why didn't you tell me that Gael left town? (I wouldn't bring up "not telling" if I were you Ramona!)
I was relieved to see that Elusa had on what appeared to be a sweet white dress for her wedding!
EJ, I just wish that I had "posed at cenotes," more when I had the bod for it. It's just not quite the same message now! The come hither part is missing!

OMG I just guffawed through this whole thing...especially
"The only thing he can teach you is how to be an incredibly sexy and virile thug with great abs!"
I also loved the "They also aruge over who has less control of their free, Latino and over 21 line"
I am a sucker for sugary sweet romance schtick so I loved last night's episode. Looks like I'll be racapping a doozie...but at least I already have a title (which I think is the hardest thing to come up with.)

Ah, how deliciously snarky Cynderella. My Saturdays are complete after I read your recaps.
I had to watch the episode this morning since one of two sons surprised me coming home last night for the weekend. Is it wrong to admit I fast-forwarded thru most of the Dalisa (so cool!) moments? I'm with you, sickeningly sweet and at the same time kind of a waste. I kept thinking, "yeah, yeah, yeah...you'll be toast tomorrow and ready to hitch up with someone else soon."
"I think she says that she would accept it, but she would hate Elisa forever. " And to my above point--shades of things to come?
Doc Tovar--This year's award for best door slam. He needs to ditch that woman fast before he strangles her. On second thought....
Love Lucio but he sure is turning into everyone's fav non-religious confident. The poor guy is going to get exhausted over all this intrigue. And that conversation with Assgusto? All this time jerkwad DID know that there was only the one suitcase,etc? So with Ramona's reveal of the car coming back to town--could that have been the faintest glimmer of a light bulb coming on?
Your unabast amour for all things Gab is so cute Cynderella. And I have to say, it was fun to watch him panicking Guppyface and pissing off Assgusto all in one fell swoop. (And kicking the crutch out--nice touch).
To some extent, I'm already a little tired of Pal's mooning and weeping over Gael. He was painfully honest with her...though not too tactfully. I guess I'm of the school if he doesn't care for you like you do for him, then let it go. Maybe there is someone else out there for you who would appreciate you back. Never been a fan of the TN "you're broken and nothing without the man you obsess over". Being it's only been a day, I'll let her go, but this better not go on for too much longer. Although, with the wedding probably busting up, the weeper of the day will probably go back to Elisa. Oh joy.
So watching on Hulu+ didn't get the previews so any hints as to how this marriage does NOT come off?

Thanks Daisy and Sara. In the previews, Agosto shows up with a gun. If you recall in my recap last week. It's hard for me to "hear" spanish. I have to rewind over and over again. I don't know what they were yelling, but Agosto points the gun.
I meant to say, if you recall in my recap last week, I mentioned that Agosto wanted to suit that "pretty boy". He just needed a reason to do it.
I liked "suit" that pretty boy too. Interpretation: lay him out in a coffin with his nice suit on.
What a way to start the weekend! 4 great titles to a fun re-cap.
Favorites:
-Damian is freaky like that.
-Padre must have run right past them (such a comical visual, Cynder)
-Bulletin about Paloma assuming Elisa's crying role this episode
-They argue over who has less control of their free, Latino and over the age of 21 children.
My favorite part of the episode was the blood test scene. Elisa's face when the needle went in was hysterical. Not only did Damian laugh, I think David Z did too. Now, *that* was a face our cute little young Elisa would have pulled.

Hola Cynderella...always get a kick out of your paeans to sexy totally-great-abdominally-ripped-boyfriend Gabino. I must say he's treating Ms. Ingrid mighty well indeed.
Haven't seen this yet but definitely looking forward to the crutch kick. (I do think the crutches are an improvisation for some muscle impairment in the actress.)
Your riff on Horacio was great as well. Ugh, I hope he DOESN'T get to carry Lolita's milk. I'm in total agreement that she deserves better. In fact I actually dislike Armando A. in this role. It's the hair, I think.
Sylvia...finally got a chance to read your great recap of yesterday this morning as well. Left you a very tardy comment, amiga.
Thanks Cynderella. I always look forward to your disenchanted romantic take on things. You are one funny lady.

Cynderella, I love your style!
“Tonia has a Code Red San Onofre power plant meltdown.”
“If I was Braulio, I would have been handcuffed in the back of the police car by now.“
“Can I get a volunteer to hold her down while I punch her?”
“Are you kidding me? They practically had sex in front of a priest and she’s worried about the people seeing them kiss in a restaurant?”
I haven’t watched this epi yet, but wow, things sure are moving along…

Cynderella - I am with you on it being hard to "hear" Spanish. I read it sooooooo much better. Other than watching our shows, has anyone offered any advise on how to get over this hurdle?
R la O. I can't hear it that well, but sometimes...out of the blue for now reason, I'll know EXACTLY what was said. I understood the entire Agosto, Gambino and Carmina necklace conversation without captions. I always try to watch the show without captions once then I turn on the CCs. When I watch it with the CCs, I realize that I didn't know what the hell they were discussing and I completely missed the mark. LOL
R la O. My co-worker is American and lives in Mexico (her husband is Mexican). She told me that her husband has the opposite problem. He can read and write English like a champ; however, he can't hear it. So, I began to ask anyone (french, spanish, Asian) who had to learn English how they did it. They told me to watch tv. Listen to the radio in English all of the time (because you have to get used to the different accents and not seeing mouths or expressions) and talk to people who speak the language that you want to learn. In other words, find spanish speakers and speak spanish not matter what. Let them correct you.
I am still too shy to do it with my friends, but I do it with people in restaurants and like malls who do not know me. I ask them if they speak spanish first and then I ask their permission to speak to them in Spanish. I have been told that it's insulting to speak to someone in spanish just because they're latino. I guess that would be like assuming I speak an African language just because I'm black. Most of the time, they talk to me and let me order or shop in Spanish. I still suck, but...one day.
Cynderella thanks for your recap. Some of my favorite lines have been mentioned by others but you summed up my continued disgust with the Toad's night-time visit to Lucio - "I just wanted to come to your house in the middle of the night and ask a cryptic question about my dead wife and her lover. See ya later."
I also really liked your alternative title "Vincente Keeps his Teeth." He'll be the only one ecstatic to find out your boyfriend is his dad. Children in TNs seem to be extremes either angels or little ones you hope someone kidnaps.
It seems they are setting up Gossip Girl to end up like her girlfriend, Alfie - all alone. Her husband had to flee her foolishness, which is why she's giving her son the boot. It's only a matter of time before Sabrina cuts her off too.

Cynderella and R la O, I know this will sound crazy, but I sometimes find myself understanding quite a bit more when I don't watch the action at all -- in other words, while I'm folding laundry or doing stretching exercises. I think trying to watch what people are doing -- facial expressions, gestures, hiding weapons, etc. -- and listen at the same time just overloads my circuits. It's worth a try!

Stuff we learned in this episode:
We learned Paloma is bordering on pathetic.
Damian has a rare blood type, the same as Rosendo (and Gael will most likely have it too--speculation)
Augusto learned only Rosie's stuff was in the car, not Estefania's; Elisa is going with Damian, and Gabino has Estefania's pearls.
Enrique learned Begoña meant business when she told him to call Tyrone (and you can't use Begoña's phone)

Great work. Most of the others have mentioned my favorite lines so far. My top fave is the one about "free, over 21 children". Control-freak parents are real story drivers in novelas but after seeing so many of them I have to wonder how often this occurs in the real world.
Here's hoping the correct DNA test results find their way into the appropriate hands before something wrong happens.

Thank you for the recap, Cynderella. Full of snark and very entertaining.
"Dalisa" -- good one!
I still have to watch my recording.
The story is moving right along. Such a treat in today's world of telenovelas!

Thanks Cyn and Blue for those helpful hints. Like you, Cyn, I tend to get too shy to try out my Spanish. However, I did do one sentence to an acquaintance today and, like you said, she sweetly corrected my mistake.
Unlike you, Blue, I don't stretch like I should. Maybe this can be the incentive to get down on the floor (after the laundry is folded) to stretch and listen. Also "hiding weapons". lol
Anon207 - LOVE your lists! The nicknames are great. On the Stuff We Learned list, at the bottom...Who is Tyrone?
How great was it when Dr. Tovar was ROTFL after he asked Begonia why she was so worried what Wrinkle-Free thought and she answered "porque ella es verdadera ejemplo seguir"? Gawd, that was funny!

Oh ya, I liked "Dalisa" too. Is "Dalisa Does La Hermita" a play on "Debbie Does Dallas"? Or am I just XXX minded?
Just finished watching -- this TN is so well-acted. The contrast with a certain other show is...well, painful, actually.

Cynderella,
Genius from titles to end!!!
Dr. Grew A Pair (Gruapair)--LOVE!
Loved "Dalisa"
Suicide hotline speed dial--hilarious! Why is Elisa always the one to cheer poor Paloma up? Here is Paloma sobbing her eyes out and 30 seconds later Elisa is talking bridesmaid dresses!
Loved the line about Padre running past them to get to Lucio! HILARIOUS!
And perhaps my fave was, on the heels of the disturbing pastel tracksuits (SPOT. ON!):
Guido should be seriously wearing a black Kango hat with gold chains, and screaming into a microphone. HAHAHAHA! Don't even know what a Kango hat is but I can picture it!
Oh PLEASE let someone stumble across the fake paternity tests!?
And thanks Anon 207 for all the nicknames!
Brava!
Katy

Cynderella:
A fine recap with many priceless jewels but my absolute favorite has to be sung,
"My boyfriend’s back and he’s back at la casa. Hey na Hey na, yeah my boyfriend’s back! Gabby returns to the Casa de Castanon. Carmina opens the door. He wants to remind her that he can take her down in a Mexico City minute. The jewelry is mine, the house is mine. Leave Gingrid alone. He kicks her crutch and lets himself out. He is a keeper. He got Ingrid a house and she doesn’t have to work. He’s sexy and extremely virile. He gets her jewelry. He kidnaps for her and he’s very protective of her. He accepts her faults and realizes that he has his own. What more can I want?"
Cynderella, I am glad to see that you are a girl with some seriously high standards. I mean—A lot of men might buy you a house or jewels or take care of you, but how many will kidnap for you? Reallly, Gabino is a sheep in wolves clothing.
I can't stop laughing.
Thank you for writing this hysterically funny recap of episode 54 of the Passion Pit. You are a true original, Cynder. I hope Gabino appreciates that he is a lucky man.

This was too, too funny...
"Children in TNs seem to be extremes either angels or little ones you hope someone kidnaps."
What a great observation! Vicente is such a little snot—I cannot abide that child. I watched the TN with my Mother one day and she observed (in her heavy Irish brogue) about Vicente, "That one is a little too pleased with himself. I'm afraid if he spoke to me like that I would have to slap that smirk right off of his face." Well, my Mom's from a a different generation but I can't say I really disagree with her there.

Blue - Certainly you don't mean El Tal as "a certain other show"? These actors *are* good, but Aaron Diaz and Julieta Rosen are superb! Otherwise, we wouldn't love to hate them so much. Or were you thinking of Camila and Pedro. Now I get your point.
I hope Assgu will recollect Este wearing that necklace either the day of or a day or two before the accident, so he'll know she never gave it to Cyn's bf as assurance of his sealed lips.
Too bad he and Elisa can't have a normal talk about it. She could tell Papa about seeing Tia Tangerine pilfering from the jewelry box all those years ago.

I am with Sara, I am giggling my little pervee heart out and practicing the exiting motions in front of the full length mirror. Just in case, you know, I happen to see a cenote-like swimming hole here in Sonoma County. So far I don't think I look the same as Elisa. Do you think it might look better if I still had a waist?
Tomorrow, when it is warmer I will practice in the swimming pool in my Miraclesuit. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Cynderella , this was a hilarious, well crafted recap that was a laugh a minute all the way through! One of my favorite parts was the way you juxtaposed discreet, door wide open and Mrs. Kravitz ! You so nailed that scene and really, every other one in the episode! Thanks!
We had several so overwhelmingly ironic statements made in this capitulo, I had to laugh:
(my translations!)
Alfie to Damian: if you continue with Elisa, you can forget about ME and all your inheritance! (Lady, your ONLY SON is planning a wedding without you, he has already "forgotten" you!)
Gab to Augusto: You can't buy back your dead wife's pearl necklace because you have no money. (Gabino, Augusto has no money because YOU burned his barn down!)
Dr.Tovar to Begoñia: Now you will really be like your idol Alfonsina, ALONE! ( Dr. T, that was such GOOD one and soooooo perfectly executed! The door almost clipped her! Viewerville loved it!)
Ramona to Paloma: Why didn't you tell me that Gael left town? (I wouldn't bring up "not telling" if I were you Ramona!)
I was relieved to see that Elusa had on what appeared to be a sweet white dress for her wedding!
EJ, I just wish that I had "posed at cenotes," more when I had the bod for it. It's just not quite the same message now! The come hither part is missing!
Yeah, Sandy, I know what you mean. Back in the day, when I was cenote- worthy I didn't know it.
Now it seems my posing efforts are more likely to elicit worried frowns and puzzled enqueries about the state of my back health. LOL.
EJ

Oh my gosh! You guys are hilarious, and you Cynderella are the queen of Funny. :)
I was happy to see Dam and Elisa so damn happy this episode. Look, Dam smiled almost the whole episode! I think it's funny when both Dam and Elisa's families are upset and suspicious because their children are happy, instead of walking around miserable and crying, as usual. That says a lot about the kinds of parents they are. Jeez!
You know, this is the second time Paloma has sworn non-forgiveness (Ramona and now Elisa). Little missy is going to end up alone if she doesn't start growing up and accepting that life is tough sometimes, and the people you love don't always do what you want, when you want them to. She's taking a page from the book of Alfie and Augie.

Sandy in TN - Your phrases are as ironic as say...sand in TN. Good ear, and good brain!
EJ - I am sure you will look lovely today in your miracle suit pointing, flexing, posing. Please have one of your puzzled enquiried onlookers take a picture for your new blog shot.
Vivi - so true! The happier the kids, the more the parents need to mess with their lives. And what's this fear of sex among consenting adults? Alf can tell Paolo he has to marry Elisa because she suspects they did it? Assgusting can tell the doc to check if Elisa still has her V-Card?
Paloma should not be mad at Elisa because Gael doesn't love her. BUT if she knew that Elisa had recently told Lolita she was going to try to look at Gael with new eyes, then I'd question the friendship.

EJ, forget the miracle suit -- all you need is an amulet. They're magic, you know. :)
R la O, you're right: I shouldn't diss the poor beknighted cast of a certain other TN. There is quite a bit of talent there. But the material they have to work with is so bad, it's all they can do to fight to the surface -- there are no dolphin jumps there.

The best scene of the whole episode was Dr. Tovar telling it straight to his miserable wretch of a wife. His timing was impeccable ESPECIALLY when it came to slamming that door! Bravo, bravo, bravo!!
It was also nice to see Zepeda with so many smiles. Who knew?!
I find myself almost laughing at Alfonsina (Guerra) and her frozen forehead. This actor has just one facial expression. What must it be like to go through life with one facial expression all in the name of "beauty".
Paloma is on the brink of becoming pitiful. She is happy for Elisa only when Elisa confirms that she is not having anything to do with Gael. Not true friendship, in my book, but would also agree with those who made note that Elisa had once told Lolita she would look at Gael with new eyes. That was only mentioned once, but I wondered then if Elisa was really serious about it.
Given what was shown in the avanaces, Assgusto has now become a parody of himself. What a pathetic fool of a man.
Carmina is now a bona fide hag.

Cynderella… you were definitely at your best glass slipper snarly moment…
Some of my favs with comments
Lupe gets their attention by making a loud noise with his hat. If the Padre had not interrupted, I’m certain that Damien would have deflowered Elisa on a nearby pew. He’s freaky like that.
I really feel bad for that hat of Lupe’s which is showing the effects of the abuse lately with Lupe’s nervous conversations as of late.
I did what you told me to do, he says. I refused to marry them. Tell me why I refused to marry them. ROFLOL!! Love your way to say that!
Then Ramona asks her Paloma what she would do if Gael returns and hooks up with Elisa. Would she accept that? She says… she would hate Elisa forever.
Another anvil/prediction in the works?
He opens the door and tells her to leave. He slams the door behind her. You go Dr. Gru A Par! Amen to that!
Does this have anything to do with Elisa? Oh yeah! I get to see her naked on Monday! LOL!!
The only thing he can teach you is how to be an incredibly sexy and virile thug with great abs!... Vincente storms off from the table and gets away with his teeth. LOL good ones!!
Lucio wants to know why Agosto is asking questions like this.
I thought exactly the same thing… hasn’t it been 15 yrs since the accident?? And he asks that NOW??
Damien doesn’t care. Tomorrow’s my wedding night and I am about to go buck wild! My bad. I forgot she’s like a daughter to you. ROFLOL!!
I was wrong. Now I am more attracted to Gabby than I have ever been. There cannot possibly be a better boyfriend.
(They make me sick, but Awwwwwwhhhhh. That is so cute.). .. yeah that about summarizes it for me too…
Horacio kisses Lolita’s hand. She smiles. Looks like he’ll get to carry her milk home after all.
My boyfriend’s back and he’s back at la casa. Hey na Hey na, yeah my boyfriend’s back!
But II was more interested in her necklace being back than her boyfriend, so it must be YOU singing that, right?
He was the best father in the world. He just cheated on my mother all the time and was abandoning us when he died. That’s why mother is bitter and hates the world.
Yeah that was kind of creepy of him to say that…
They argue over who has less control of their free, Latino and over the age of 21 children.
Another great one…
So!!... Damian has a rare blood type that he inherited from his dad… Damian has said that only death will stop him from showing up to the wedding on Monday… and Elisa’s dad’s favorite toy is a shotgun….. man oh man… the near future does look pretty bleak for Damian, doesn’t it? and the perfect excuse for someone out of town to make a U turn along the way, right?

R la O, thanks! I'm waiting for EJ's new blog photo too!
Augusto needs to join the NRA and fast, they are the only ones who would support taking a shotgun to a wedding!
Carlos, if you bring tequila for the next episode, I'll bring paper bags for our heads!!!

Well, I want you to remember who started this. It was RlaO, with her hysterical and snarkalicious post:
5 Steps for Exiting a Cenote:
1. Point your toe
2. Hike up your skirt
3. Bare your thigh
4. Flex
5. Pose
Taking Rosemary's wise counsel, I began to practice last night. After several minor adjustments I have a report and a new avatar—let's call it 'Elna June at the California cenote'.
!. Note the pointed toe.
2. My skirt IS hiked up. Before the photo it was floor length.
3. Sadly, the Miraclesuit was not— MIRACLE, that is. After struggling into the confining device, I was still left without adequate waist or thigh measurements. Disappointing to say the least. I am afraid my avatar will have to be from the knee down.
4. I think my calf is flexed rather nicely, don't you?
5. The pose is a classic. So what if I am seated on the side of the cement cenote?
OK, my friend Blue has just sent me to the table by the Cantina bathroom for my extreme irreverence.Easy for her, she still has a waist.

That toe point is awesome EJ! Did you take ballet as a child? Elise looks like a floppy puppet in comparison.
Okay, everybody on the bus for Elna June's place! We'll jump into the cement cenote, stand on the edge and wring out our clothes, and then...I don't know what happens then. Somebody gets slapped?

OH MY GAWWWWWWWWWD! EJ, you are hysterical! I can't believe you did that! Girls, we are one step away from being asked to *leave* the restaurant!
I agree with Judy. You put Elisa's point to shame. I bet you were either a ballet student or a Solid Gold dancer back in the day.

Ballet, 11 years, guilty as charged.
Finally, one day, it was clear that on my Irish workhorse bodyframe I was never going to make the San Francisco Ballet Corps de Ballet, let alone be a Prima. Alas, I never did float like a butterfly.
But I am so glad to know that the toes still have it—at least in the looks department.
Elna June walks away jauntily, arm in arm with the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. She is looking for Cynderella and whistling, "If I only had a waist."

"Asked to leave the restaurant"...reminds me of one night at the local Panera with some very funny students from my weight training class. We were laughing uproariously and some woman came over and told us (well, me, actually) to pipe down, we were disturbing everyone else (make that HER, actually). I'm definitely in the right group here.
Hey, everybody -- don't forget Premios TV y Novelas tonight at 8! We should see some of our favorites.

Once again, Cynderella, you have turned out a unique, hilariously funny piece of work.
As for the avances, we here in Texas are accustomed to the occasional shotgun wedding, but the the gun is usually intended to encourage participation by one of the principals... not halt the proceedings.
Sandy, yes there will be Tequila at don Augie's support group table... I'm afraid we'll be needing it. I think I'll have them move our table near the back door.
Elna June,
Heh heh heh, nice leg...wanna come sit with us? Have some Tequila.

we can all go for a synchronized swimming routine at the cenote... as long as the camera concentrates on our toes instead of the rest of us... lol...

Blue - I've got my VCR set. Who do I know who will be on there? Anyone from Cuando?

you can tell DZ is actually a lawyer by education and exp... prior to the acting... from the way he moves and speaks at PLN red carpet...
Lisardo and José Ron from Cuando are nominated, also Ana Brenda from Teresa (and LQPNA) and many that are now in Abismo but are nominated for other TNs (César Evora, Sabine Moussier, David Zepeda and Livia Brito.) The rest -- that I recognize -- are all from Familia.

We were all taught to not leave home without our emergency dime. Angelique was taught to not leave home with her eyelash glue.
Bummer. My recording ended on time but looks like the show ran over. Who won Best Actress and Best Actor?
Best Actress was Sandra Echeverria for La Fuerza del Destino and Best Actor was Jorge Salinas for La Que No Podia Amar.
Thanks Urban. I saw Jose Ron get a big hug from Jorge Salinas on his way up to accept his award. That was sweet. Wish I could have seen JS accept his.
Triunfo de Amor was given an award for "Telenovela mas vista". Was this an audience award? TdA was horrible! How in the world did it win an award. I thought it funny that as they were describing this TN, they were praising Mejia to the heavens. I am astounded!!
Daniel Arenas, from "Teresa" was a presenter. His hair looked long and greasy and he had some bizarre suit on that just didn't cut it. The guy is so handsome, but he looked like a bum up there.
I think I still don't understand how the voting works on these Premios, but it's kind of fun to see the actors.

Maite Perroni was nominated for best actress. Really?

Rosemary la Otra, look
here to see him accept it. I'll be watching Mad Men today because the presentation ran over.
Anon I so agree with you! He was the best thing about TdA. If only Televisa would grant my greatest wish have I got a part for him!

I watched the last hour and 15 minutes. Delia Casanova looked so darling with her short hair!!!
I'm still scratching my head on some of the award recipients.

Martaivette: Have you heard that Mejía is going to make the remake of La Hija del Mariachi? UGHHH. It's going to be starred by Jorge Salinas and Danna García. Mejía made a whole drama with the casting of his novela, apparently he wanted Salinas again with Ana Brenda, who actually has a better voice than García but neither work for me for mariachi music (yes, he plans to use their real voices in this one), but the Televisa executives nixed that idea because it was too soon for them to appear together after LQNPA. Then at some point it was said that the roles would go to Jorge and Dana or Pablo Montero (who also made casting) and Ana Brenda and in the end Mejía went for the first ones and he lasted weeks doing a whole circus to create expectative and rile up the rogelianas on twitter. That man and his dramas.

Jorge Salinas has an adequate singing voice but I don't know that he can carry it through ranchera on a full-time basis. I adore him and I adore Pablo Montero, but Mejia needs to get over a lot of his obsessions before I would green-light anything of his.
His absurd need to put comic relief in every episode of his productions really annoys me. While the subject of LHDM is inherently Mexican, did he ever do anything original?

Mejía is the best example of nepotism in Televisa, he is their worst producer and yet everytime he fails they give them more successful stories to ruin.
It was mentioned here that they gave an award to Triunfo for the most viewed telenovela, that was a joke and people at the Univision boards were having a field day when the awards originally aired since they always bring the ratings and knew perfectly well that the novela was a terrible flop. A complete new award given to the less deserving telenovela.

TdA had to have gotten adequate ratings in the US or Univision would have kicked it to daytime as they have done with other series before and since. I stayed with it because of Diego Olivera and Daniela Romo and I guess favored actors are often the reason to stick with an otherwise inferior series.
TDA did have good ratings in the US. I hadn't thought this before but maybe they gave it the award (and Maite Perroni's most popular in social networks award) for their audience in the US, since they knew the ceremony would be eventually watched by them aswell.

Really appreciate the insights into why TdA received ANY awards.
I could have barfed to see Mejia sitting there as if he were King Farouk. TdA was a joke. Perroni did not act. She just tilted her head and, yet, was nominated as best actress. The nomination itself was not deserved.
If I am not mistaken, when they were showing clips of TdA, not once did I see Osvaldo Rios in any of them. I assume he's been banished.
When Pablo Montero was singing during the show, he was not always on pitch. Echeverria didn't impress me, either.
For those of you that watched "Fuerza", how do you feel it ranked with the other nominees for best TN? I did not see it (started it, but it just did not interest me) nor did I see the one with Sergio Goyri.
How I missed the Goyri TN is beyond me. Was this on Telefutura?
As much as I like Jorge Salinas, I don't think I could bear to watch him in a Mejia production. I assume that if he were to decline the offer to work in this production, this would not be good for him professionally, but Salinas needs to take another close look at the farce known as TdA.
I think that the costuming for Elisa/Boyer on Abismo is not entirely wardrobe's fault. Boyer wears some interesting outfits at these Premios, etc. The one last night was about showing as much leg as possible (a la Angelina Jolie), so I have to think that Boyer has some say in Elisa's poor choice of outfits.
Darn, that Diego Olivera is handsome!!

I thought it was pretty amusing that most of the outfits the actresses wore on stage were less revealing than those their telenovela characters routinely wear to the OFFICE.

Anon 10:49- I watched Fuerza. It was ok. Laisha Wilkins made it worth it for me. Otherwise I would say it was tepid. *I* didn't see a lot of chemistry between DZ and SE. IMHO I would not call it "Best Novela" worthy. It was definitely much, much, much better quality than TdA. I stuck with TdA because it was so much fun bringing the snark. And we called Diego Olivera "Padre Hottie."
Televisa needs to find a project for HIM!

Sara and other who enjoyed Padre Hottie, he's going to be in the afternoon TN, Amorcito Corazón. It's starting Wednesday, May 30 at 3pm on Uni.
EJ et al., you all are hilarious. If we can be this silly without alcohol what will we did with it (hee, hee)?

Premios:
I am glad to see so many of the young actors in Familia rewarded for their work.
As for LFDD, I thought it was a great script and bucked many tn cliches (guy searching for and finding his child; heroine that marries and has sex with another then divorces him; 2nd guy doesn't die). I also loved Marcelo Cordoba's bad guy who was also good. Wonderful complex character. The only fault I found with the the tn was the tepid chemistry between the leads. Their story was interesting, but I didn't feel the passion. DZ was too angry/intense, and SE was too passive. I don't agree with her win, because I think another actress could have made so much more of that role.

I'm fine for the most part with the winners. The ones I would change are Marcelo C or Gabriel S instead of Jose Ron; 'Esperanza del Corazon' over 'Dia de Suerte' for song (I just like it more); and Pedro A. (may he rest in peace) over Cesar E for Primer Actor.
Anyone know why there were two winners for revelacion feminina? I'm not complaining. I watched a bit of NCNST and liked Laura C, and I love all the young actors in Familia, so I'm glad Alejandra Garcia won.

Oh, and Daniela C instead of Sandra E for best actress! Daniela/Pina was the funniest character in this comedy, as well as the most hated (at times), and the most loved. She owned that role and made and memorable character, with unforgetable mannerisms. Not many actresses could have pulled it off.
Song and lyrics to 'Esperanza del Corazon": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNHvb7ykhkk&feature=related
Since 'Premios' is for Televisa 'novelas only, IMO it's mostly self- hype and noise. TdA winning? No way.
I cannot imagine Jorge Salinas in the LHDM role. Doesn't he look a little old for that role? Singing doesn't matter, since the original Colombian version dubbed in the singing voices.
As for Meh-jía, he is a classic example of the Peter Principle.

Hi Vivi...there were two winners for "revelacion feminina" because it was an "empate". Two of the actresses had the same number of votes. There was one other tie, but I forget now what it was.
I second Pedro A over Cesar E sentiments.
Pedro A and Delia C. had a great story line and I loved to watch them together.
The Antolin/Kika Edgar storyline was fantastic as well.
The more I think about it LFDD had a lot going for it...it's just that DZ had more chemistry with the wall than Sandra E.

Vivi the list you brought was the initial list made by the magazine, some of those names were gone during the ceremony.
The TvyNovela awards have three parts of voting:
First the magazine makes a pre-selection of the actors they deemed worthy of the awards. Later, there's voting made by the audience through the magazine and internet were 3 or 4 choices end up making the final nominees. Finally, at the award show, there's a judging panel who picks the winner.
I agree that Sandra Echevería was underwhelming in her role but unfortunately Daniela Castro was not an option at the end. The choice was between Ana Brenda Contreras, Mayrín Villanueva, Maite Perroni and Sandra.

By the way, I also like the Esperanza del Corazón song better than the Suerte song. In fact, I actually liked several of the nominees better but I usually get dissapointed with this award every year.
The most notorious absence for me this year was Susana González as best female villain. Another simmilar case to Silvia Navarro's, except this one is stronger, since that one was just a hissy fit of the producer because Silvia couldn't go to the awards that first year, in this case González and the TvyNovela producer hate each other with the fire of one thousand suns.

I just liked seeing my favorite stars in their natural habitat. And I love César E. in a beard! I shushed my husband so I could hear his beautiful voice in his acceptance speech.
Blanca Guerra was one of the judges, so we got to see her quite a bit. Her dress was absolutely gorgeous, even sitting down.

I didn't agree with the song choice either. I would have voted for "La Fuerza del Destino" or the song Pablo sang. "Una Dia de Suerte" did nothing for me.
I also agree about Pedro Armendariz. He had fabulous chemistry with Delia Casanova and I loved their story.

OMG Jarocha... the more i hear about this remake of LHDM the sicker i get in the stomach... for one, i won't even give it a second of viewing... LHDM is my fav novela (it was the perfect mix of drama, comedy, storyline, and music which one of my fav features about it...). My other favs are CS'093 and YSBLF, but i wouldn't even compare them, they are not similar enough to LHDM.. so they are three independent jewels of TNs. Ever since i watched it i can't stop playing JAJ songs in my car... and singing along.
so i dont think they will come in the same planet as Mark and Carolina, not to even talk about Gregorio P and Mario D... who i am watching in La Madre online with other friends.
so don't even go there...

Cynderella, so sorry I missed all the fun comments about your terrifically hilarious recap. Long weekend away from wi-fi. Anyhoo, now I am sitting back enjoying the recap and everyone's comments. You guys really are a scream.
I would pretty much have to repeat Cynderella's entire recap to quote my favorite lines, but I am quite fond of her ongoing lust, er love, affair with Gabino.
Oh wait, I also really loved this one:
"Due to her extreme happiness, today, Elisa will be unable to fulfill her obligation to cry at least once per episode. During her hiatus, Paloma will temporarily assume the role of the sobbing victim." Bwahahaha!!! I love it.
EJ, you almost made me wet my pants I was laughing so hard at your picture. You do have a very beautiful pointe. (Is that extra "e" correct or am I just being pretentious? Maybe both.)
Cynderella, I love your irreverant and in-your-face style of writing. It's very refreshing and always generates hilarious comments.
