Una Familia Con Suerte #247-248 Fri 5/11/12 Vice is in, Pancho is Arrested and Freddy is Dead to Me
The Refried:
Sebas and Pancho talk about the fraud.
Betto and Raymundo agree that Irachetta is responsible for the fraud.
Pablo meets with Rebe and Dona Rebe.
Fight with Pepe, Frida, and Moni.
Ana thinks about her talk with Kari, the loss of the baby, and Lupe comes to talk to Ana, and Ana tells her Kari lost the baby.
Frida is mad she is the rebound girl.
Pepe and Moni want to get en flagrante again.
The New:
Rebe confronts Pablo and wants to know if he is only with Dona Rebe for the money. He says no, just likes her alot. Rebe tells him he better never hurt Dona Rebe or he'll have to deal with her.
Adrian tells his daughter he wants to marry Ana as soon as possible. He thought bubbles to himself, before she changes her mind.
Ana is determined to marry Adrian too. Ana and Lupe are in a bridal shop looking at dresses. Lupe keeps asking Ana if she is sure she is making the right choice. Ana insists her and Freddy are thru and she is marrying Adrian, punto. Lupe just wants her to think about what she is doing.
Chacho goes to see the urologist, about why he isn't getting Sandrita pregnant. The urologist tells him he will have to do some testing. Chacho thinks he has to go thru the same procedure with the butt thing, but the doctor hands him a cup, and says he needs a sample of his sperm as soon as possible. Chacho goes to do that, and comes back tout suite not, and the doctor is asleep. Chacho wakes him up and the doctor is snapping on a glove and Chacho freaks out, but the doctor laughs and takes the sample and tells Chacho they will test and see what is what. Chacho is relieved.
There is a board meeting at the company, and everyone is banging the financial report. Raymund has called this meeting to inform Pancho they found the fraud. Pancho tells them the company's account was hacked and the money was deposited in an account in the Cayman Islands. Pancho says he will make sure this is fully investigated. Raymundo tells Pancho the authorities have to investigate this, and according to statues, Pancho has to step down, and there will be an interim prez. Guess who the new interim prez is, anyone? That's right, Vice. Everyone is mad, cause they just know Vice has something to do with this, and would rather have Pina take over. They will call Lic. Mendoza the hardest working lawyer at Avon.
Pepe and Moni, in their afterglow, are talking about where they are going to live, now. They are not keeping the apartment. Moni has some money from her Moms. She wants to be sure this is for realz this time and he won't go back to Frida. He asks for forgiveness and says he loves only her, and will wait for marriage.
Meanwhile, Frida is whining to Don Mattias about finding Pepe and Moni together, and Don Mattias says he is glad that Frida is not marrying Pepe, cause, are you ready for this Frida, Pepe doesn't love you. The rebound girl gets a crazed look in her eyes and says, no matter, I will wait for him, no matter how long it takes. (Note to Frida: Listen Chica never gonna happen. Get a new "Luke" ditch Pepe and find a cuter guy who truely loves you).
Vice's first action as prez is to fire Sebas. Pina stands right up for her man, and tells Vice she is rehiring Sebas right here and now. He has to work with Pina, cause Vice won't have him as head of Finance. Sebas and Pina just know that Vice is responsible for this mess.
Chela is conflicted about going to live in Monterrey. She misses Enzzo but will miss her family here too. Moni tells her they should be together.
Doc Oc is by himself and Lupe comes by and offers to make him something to eat. He doesn't want anything, but she makes him something anyway. He likes it and she tells him he will never be alone. The whole Lopez clan loves him and will never desert him.
Adrian comes to see Ana and tells her , hey lets get married tomorrow! Ana says whoa big fella. I want a special day with a church, a beautiful wedding dress, my Papancho walking me down the aisle. Adrian tells her he is worried she will get back with Freddy. She has to tell him yet again, I am marrying you and not Freddy.
Dona Rebe and Candy are talking about Vice and how much Candy loves him, when he calls her. He wants her to meet with him. Sappy as she is, she goes to meet him. She wants to know why her brother is in so much trouble? Look me in the eye and tell me you had nothing to do with it? He swears it is all Pancho who did this fraud. He tells her he loves her, can't be without her, blah blah, she is such a pushover she reconciles with Vice! (Note to Candy: run as fast as you can girl, and never look back!).
Pancho and Rebe are in bed, and just about to get en flagrante, when Candy just waltzes right in, no knock mind you, and tells them she has gone back to Vice.
Pina, Sebas and Freddy have a little meeting and Pina asks him if Vice could have caused this mess. Freddy tries not to let anything out, he thought bubbles about the request Vice made of him to find him a hacker. He tells Pina and Sebas they can't go accusing his Paps without proof. He says this several times. This makes Pina suspicious and she tells Sebas, once Freddy has left, that Freddy knows something.
Coincendentially, Freddy is meeting with Vice.Freddy wants to know if Vice found a hacker and did this to Pancho? Vice convinces Freddy he didn't do anything and this is all Pancho's fault. Freddy has a hard time believing Vice. Vice offers Freddy the Financial Director position. He tells Paps that he was a communications major, but Vice tells him he is qualified for the job. Freddy thinks about the position. Freddy decides to take the job. Sebas comes by for his things from his old office and sees Freddy there. Freddy tells him he is the new director of Finances. He tells Freddy if you ever need help just let me know. (Note to Freddy: you are offically on my dead to me list. Ya know your Paps did this, jus' sayin' it's time to man up and tell someone.)
Chela and Enzzo talk by phone, and she tells him she is conflicted about moving to Monterrey. Enzzo says he wants his family with him, punto. He gives her an ultimatum. She is very upset.
Ana is going to order that wedding dress. Lupe is with her and asks her again whether she is making the right decision. Ana again tells her, she is marrying Adrian, punto.
Vice tells Candy he is going to sponsor her radio show again. She is very happy. (Note to Candy: Haven't you had enough of the criminal element? Wasn't Napo bad enough, jus' saying).
Pancho is arrested for the fraud. Rebe gives him big hugs and kisses , he tells her to be strong, take care of the babies, they tell each other they love each other. Rebe swears she will do everything in her power to prove his innocence. Pancho tells her to call the hardest working lawyer at Avon, Lic Mendoza.
Tomas is at work and finds out Pancho has been arrested for fraud. Tomas will not be part of this investigation. Tomas is very upset and swears Pancho could never have done this.
Pancho is in the same jail where everyone in Toluca goes when they are arrested, the Lic in charge is the same one, albiet no glasses now, must have gotten a new "Luke" and gotten contacts. The Lic. tells him no bail for you, you have to stay in jail until the judge decides what is what. Pancho starts to tell him he didn't do it, but Lic Mendoza tells him to shut it, he ain't sayin' nothing now. The Lic tells him since his crime is so bad they are sending him to Cereso State Prison. (Side Note: I goggled this prison to see if it actually existed. It does it is in Juarez, in Chihuahua State. It is the worst prison in Mexico. It is home to gang bangers, murderers, drug cartels etc. It is very corrupt, the warden was way worse than the criminals in there, and the Federales had to take control of it in 2011 after a prison riot that killed alot of people. It is like a thousand miles from Toluca). This is the same prison Tomas was in. Pancho is transferred there quickly and has his mug shots taken.
The whole family calls each other, tells each other what happened and gather together to see what they can do. They even call Enzzo in Monterrey, who being such a good friend, drops everything and comes right to Toluca. They all determine they will do everything they can to prove Pancho didn't do this. Tomas isn't liking where they sent Pancho. Candy is NOT at this family meeting.
Pina and Sebas talk about Freddy and Pina is convinced that Vice caused all of these problems and that Vice gave the Financial directorship to Freddy to keep him quiet. Sebas is going to contact someone about helping them catch this hacker. Sebas is convinced someone hacked the Avon Account.
Cut to the prison. The assistant of the warden Senor Valasquez recognizes Pancho and tells him the Directora wants a meet with him. Pancho goes in to meet her, and she says she knows who he is, and he can get whatever he wants there, women, liquor, drugs whatevs. Pancho is very sceptical but plays along saying he wants cable and cognac. This Directora is very corrupt. She is drinking brandy and chomps on a cigar, and spits the end at Pancho. She says, I think, that Pancho stinks. Pancho smells himself. She also says this all comes with a price.
Rebe is so mad, smoke is coming out of her ears, and she asks Dona Rebe to watch the babies while she goes out for a bit. Dona Rebe tells her no worries. Rebe goes to Avon and asks Pina not to fire her, she is out on maternity leave, but it expires soon. Rebe doesn't want to lose her job. Pina assures her to take all the time she needs, she completely understands. Pina and Sebas will help her. Rebe leaves and goes to Vice's office and tells him, I will tear you to pieces count on it, you jackanapes and jackwagon!
Lunes on Familia:
Vice holds a news conference.
Freddy kisses Ana, who says she has cancelled the wedding.
The Gargoyle from Cereso blackmails Pancho and hits him, sound familiar?
Vice is choking the hacker, and we see his face.

Lots of bad things here, hate what has happened to Pancho, Freddy is making me mad, I don't want him to be like his Paps, Candy is just dumb,and I am really liking Pina and how strong and righteous she is now.
Thanks for the recap Madelaine. Yes a lot of bad things are happening and it seems just so they can try to straighten them out before the finale. And yes Freddy is being a jackwagon, sigh.
Candy is also making very bad decisions in the name of amor. I think the family shunning her may change her but who knows.
Julia - your name for Adrian is beyond appropriate and I can't wait 'til she removes the barnacle from her.

Thanks Madelaine. Just came back from a Memorial Service so it was nice to have a fresh and humorous recap to take my mind off things.
I agree..this was not Freddy's finest hour. Nor Candy's.
At the urologist, I had the feeling that Chacho's production was not "tout de suite"...in fact that he took so long the doc fell asleep. Evidently without Sandra there to inspire him, he had trouble getting the job done. What a sweet guy! I'm sure our Vins would have been fine with just a dirty magazine or two.
Wonderful description of Pina..."strong and righteous". For the other couples seems like they are making up problems. Surely Chela is capable of moving to Merida to be with her husband. For heaven's sake...my mom had to move every year when my dad wa working for DuPont. Maybe life is expected to be more stable in Mexico.

Judy B, thank you, I meant to type the word not, before tout suite, thank you for the not "tout de suite", You were right it did take him some time, and he is sweet.Glad I was able to lighten your day.
Thank you, Madelaine! I love all your commentary, especially the terminology of everyone "getting en flagrante" and Lic Mendoza, the hardest working lawyer at Avon. Poor guy, he has to deal with everyone's divorces AND their frauds.
Avon seriously needs to rewrite its bylaws if a guy everyone suspects of committing fraud can be president and a guy with no finance experience can be the DIRECTOR of finance. That was an ugly little power trip Freddy, or should I call him Frauddie again, went on. How fast can Vice and Fred run the place into the ground, I wonder? I hope Freddy snaps out of it fast. A tiny part of me was hoping Candy took Vice back so she can get a confession out of him and save her brother, but I'm afraid she may be stupid and naive enough to take him back for realz.
The exec meeting was kind of funny when Pancho coached Sebas on how to properly speak at these meetings...slam the portfolio on the table and yell.
Chela should stop whining, but I think Enzo should at least acknowledge that moving will be more of a trial for her than for him. He has his great new job, business associates, etc., while she'll be taking care of a baby in a city where she doesn't know anyone. He's being a little self-centered.
So much stupidity going on. At least Pepe and Moni are happy. I thought they came to a good compromise. Moni still needs to learn some basic life skills, but her desire to move to a place with better security, where she will feel safe, is valid, and she agreed she doesn't need luxuries.

Wonderful recap Madelaine!
I was SO disappointed in Freddy and Candy for being so willfully blind and falling for Vince's lies. They both know the truth, but don't want to admit it. I am actually more disappointed in Candy than I am in Freddy. Vince is Freddy's dad, and he has way more loyalty to him than to Pancho. But Pancho is Candy's brother!
ITA Julia about Moni and Pepe and their compromise. I'm not sure how Enzzo and Chela will come to agreement since he really loves his job. Unless he becomes president of a company in Toluca, or suddenly decides that his wife's emotional health is more important than his career fulfillment, which affects his own emotional health.

Julia you are so right. We should start calling him Frauddie again until he straighens up again. I can't beleive he took that Financial postion, what a bribe. That is why Frauddie is dead to me.
Vivi I agree with you and Julia about Enzzo and Chela. That is one of the most stable relationships and I don't want to see them fight over who lives where. I think the Pancho dilemma will be a distraction for the moment.

Thank you Madelaine for a rich and full recap. You both began and ended our week. Thanks for picking up the pieces on Monday when no one could cover for me and I couldn't see or think well enough. No both my eyes and my brain are clear but how unnecessary since all the characters are acting so idiotic and/or blind. I am glad that Pepe has seen his way clear to Moni and she has offered to be more mature. They seem so happy. I liked Frida but she did stay deluded against all good advice. Pepe would have that effect on most women I think. Candi needs my lens implants for she is truly deluded. I agree that she should have learned something about crime and graft from Napo. Freddy the once again fraudster is slipping backwards but his Mom Pina has her new life and love so perhaps will pull him out of his delusions that just because he is a cute rich guy he can do any job well. Saying prayers for Avon here. I know beanies are in order but does Mexican corporate law really support such bald faced criminal acts and reward fraud with presidential powers?
Pancho meeting Tomas' nemesis in jail was kind of funny. Even the lifers seem to know who Pancho Lopez is. Isn't the wicked warden woman the actress who played a clownish character in a TN a few years ago. She did crazy things on a motorbike that had a side car. I need to look her up. I think she also teaches acting in D.F. in her real life. Great actress that takes really odd parts. A Johnny Depp kind of actress revelling in bizarre parts.

Cheryl you are welcome amiga. I love this show. I don't like the direction it is going in right now. They do have some comedy, like the slapping of those financial reports on the table, and the way Pancho was showing Sebas how to do it, that was funny.
I just hope Pancho doesn't have a hard time in this prison, the advances look bad. It was funny with the gargoyle knowing who he was. I didn't know about the actress doing the part of the Directora. She sounds like a hoot.

A message for Guera repeated from what I wrote to her on the Abismo comments:
Guera, I am so jealous of you being in Cuba. I know this is Abismo's site but since I will be recapping Una Familia tomorrow night, I noticed too that the UFCS replacement listing is for 5/24 Thursday. I don't know if it means tht UFCS ends on Wed. or before with something filling in a few nights? Maybe we will get a date posting for the finale tomorrow night.

CherylNM, I think the actress playing the warden is Patricia Reyes Spíndola. She was the one with the sidecar motercycle with the Reyes' brothers and was Tomas Mora's mother in La Fea Mas Bella.

Karen I so agree with you. I really hope the family shuns her over this. They way she kept asking Vice if he had anything to do with the fraud, you know she knows deep down he is responsible, but she is so in lurvve with the Vice, she can't see the forest thru the trees. I don't think Vice really loves Candy either. He was acting so jealous of Sebas cause Pina has found herself a good man and he can't stand it. I think Vice loves what he can't have.
Cheryl-thanks so much for the info on Familia. Maybe they will have a special or something until Refugio starts.

Thank you so much, Madelaine. I deleted my recording last night before I realized I hadn't seen it yet.
Maybe the inmates at Cereso will recognize Pancho as the folk hero who saved all the Avon factory workers' jobs and rally around him.
I'm not happy with Fred, but he's always been spineless so I guess I can understand him doing what Daddy tells him. (Maybe he's still sore at Pina, since she is the one who invited Karina on that fateful trip to Merida.)
Candy, on the other hand, should really know better. Grrrr!

I was curious about cereso so I did a little poking around...I don't think Pancho is that far from home. I wondered because when Tomás was there, everyone seemed to be able to visit him pretty easily. CERESO is an abbreviation of Centro de Rehabilitación Social, and is a general term used for lots of prisons. There is one near Toluca.
I think this is good news for Pancho, because he has such a positive hero reputation locally. If he were further away, he might not get treated as well as he probably will be here.

Madelaine, telenovela goddess, you are a treasure for doing the recap double down! Nice job.
I don't think the the poor Lopez family can handle another tragedy, and I know I can't handle any more of Temo's wailing.
Anon, thank you for identifying Patricia Reyes Spíndola. I got very excited when I saw her as the warden; she's a terrific actress.
Cheryl, it's good to hear that your eye surgeries were successful. I look forward to your recap tonight. Hard to believe we have just another 1.5 weeks left! (Well maybe not considering they tormented us with 2-hour episodes.)

Madelaine, thanks for a fun recap. Love the title.
Sorry Pepe got Frida's hopes up. I didn’t want Frida for Pepe but I like her well enough not to want her to turn into an obsessive Fatal Attraction.
I'm still hoping Candy is not really this blind and is staying close to Vince to catch him. Afterall, he's told her a thousand times he intended to destroy Pancho.
I perked up when I saw Patricia Reyes Spinolo as the Directora. She's always fun to watch, even as a cruel scam artist/murderer on Mujeres Asesinas.

Thank you Julia for the prison name. I was so hoping it wasn't the other Cereso, even though this warden is way corrupt too. She is a hoot in a way, but I hope Pancho doesn't have to put up with too much grief there.
