Abismo de pasión #72 6/21/12: Run Lolita Run
By the way, there are several open positions in La Ermita for those who are interested: Anger Management Counselor (FT), Chief of Police (FT), Dressmaker (FT), Fashion Consultant specializing in What Not to Wear (FT), Doctor (Temporary), Fan Maker (As Needed).
Redux: Paloma blabs to Alfonsina about Doc T having it on with the TangelHo. Damian dumps Flor again. Damian wants to hug Elisa, forget about mommie dearest, and be happy. Just for one day please? Let’s see if they can last 24 hours.
New Stuff:
It’s sunrise. No wait, it’s sunset, then moonrise. Another full moon. Didn’t I have a full moon in my last recap? So it must be a month later, hee, just kidding. It’s always a full moon in La Ermita.
Funny, Casa Castigo looks modern from the outside, but so old-fashioned from the inside. Don Asshat wonders why Carmina’s not ready to greet her dinner guests. She and Begoña arranged this get-together and she had better get her orange butt in gear. She says she’s not up to it. (Homicide takes it out of a woman, dontcha know.) She’s got the crazy eyes going on, she feels “off” and needs to rest. She’s not having her best moment, she says.
Downstairs the Doc squirms. Asshat and Begoña advise him to check out the TangelHo. Begoña even gives him a frisky whack on the tuches as he leaves the room.
“How dare you enter my room?” queries Orangina. She doesn’t need a doctor...or a man. (Que? Unless Asshat doesn’t count as a man.) Doc says she doesn’t appreciate what she’s got, Asshat is a fine man. She puts her cantaloupes in his face and reminds him of what they did, then says she wouldn’t re-boink an insipid like him, she doesn’t like to eat the same dish twice. (Is it me or are her lines awesome tonight?) Good gosh darn thing, he says, because news flash, she’s sick in the head. Suddenly she feels better, see what a good Doc he is? She just needed a little injection of nasty ‘ho to give her an appetite.
Wow, Dam learned to make pasta while he was in Italy. He’ll have Elisa popping out of her hotpants in no time. Oh wait, I didn’t mean...I meant gaining weight, no not that way, er, by eating...never mind. Paloma and Gael arrive at the rectory in time to hear that Dam and Elisa are novios again (oh goodie). They are invited to stay for Dam’s special pasta and to bask in the momentary joy that Dam and Elisa are an item. Gael sucks it up, “great, let’s hope it’s final this time,” and Paloma makes up with Elisa.
Back at Casa Castigo the dreary dinner conversation about Fina’s loan is punctuated by Begoña commenting that Alfonsina is cruel and heartless. (Doorbell rings in the background.) Pop! goes the Bitch Queen of the Galaxy. “Good to know how you really feel about me!” glowers Fina. Oopsie. She wants to talk to Asshat. Alone. Outdoors. “Wheee, looks like Fina’s gonna declare war on you,” titters Carmina to Begoña.
Outside, Fina tells Asshat (fliiiip goes the fan!) that her lawyer said she can’t put Asshat back in jail. AssH says she can thank her brother for that favor. And if Dam shows up at his place he’ll treat her son the same way she treated Elisa, except he’ll toss Dam Fine out on his keister with his own hands instead of asking some lackey to do it. (fliiiip goes the fan!) Fina scowls and goes to plan B for ruining Asshat’s night, “We’re standing in the same spot where I told you Stef was boinking my hubs and you stupidly didn’t believe me. Tonight I’m telling you that your current wife boinked your best friend. Yup (fliiiiip!), Carmina and Edmundo. Hah!”
Gah, that casa gives me indigestion. Let’s go back to the more civilized mediterranean dinner at the rectory, pasta, red wine, and hunks. Padre joins the young uns, stuffs his face and blathers on about all of them being BFFs. The kids decide to go swimming at the cenote tomorrow for old time’s sake. Qué buena idea! (Ruh Roh!!!)
Fina twists the knife, she says Asshat shouldn’t blame his pathetic self that all his women cheat on him. Blame the Bouviers, its in their blood and sadly it has passed on to Elisa. Asshat tells her to Largate and wants Horacio to escort her home. She sniffs in disdain, no escort required. She advises Asshat and his family to Largate from La Ermita para siempre and she will forgive Elisa’s debt. He croaks that he will repay every last centavo. “Fine, enjoy dinner with your...guests,” she coolly replies. She’s a bitch but she’s magnificent.
Asshat returns to the table and glares at the others. He toasts his best friend Edmundo. Begoña toasts her new girlfriend Carmina. Glares for all! Burp.
Horacio gives Lolita the 411, or at least as much as he knows, about Fina and Asshat’s conversation. Tomorrow they’re gonna talk to Padre about their marriage, and she has a surprise for him! He has a surprise too, unexpected cash for his carniceria. From, um, Alfonsina’s two-week (quincena) severance, yeah that’s it.
At that very moment Lucio and Braulio are at the Cantina. It actually looks like the restaurant but they are playing the cantina music so I’m going with that. They talk about Lolita’s upcoming wedding and Lucio says wherever Blanca is, he’s sure she’s happy for Lolita. (I thought about this. Blanca doesn’t know who threw the fire bomb that killed her so she could be happy, right? Or do angels get to know everything just like God does? I forget the rules.) Brau blabs that he’s loaning Horacio money for his business, “but please don’t tell anyone I’m doing this for Lolita.” They both want Lolita to be happy and Brau admits he’ll have feelings for her until the day he dies.
Fina’s back at home, still madly fanning herself. Guido trots after her complaining that Flor is inconsolable now that Dam is back with Elisa. He wants to scrape up what little dignity they have and return to Mexico City tomorrow. (Do it! Do it before you become crazy like the rest of the La Ermutants! We’re saving your seat on the patio.) Fina, (I hate her but she looks fantastic in that outfit) tries to get him to remain. She needs a Real Man in the house and at the Proce. Please don’t abandon her when she needs him now more than ever.
Speaking of mad fanning, Begoña’s got hers flapping as fast as her mouth. The boys have trotted off to the cantina and she is alone with Carmina. She wants to talk about the little chippy who’s been chasing after Asshat. Carmina very calmly says word has it Kenia left town, fingers crossed. They trade harmless barbs about being the wronged woman and Begoña tells Carmina not to fret, in a small town los chismes corren como pólvora (gossip spreads like wildfire?). At this time tomorrow they’ll have better things to talk about than the robamaridos (husband-stealers) of the town.
Augusto and Doc T join Luc and Brau at the Cantina. Asshat’s got a grumpy face and Doc T comments he’s been like that ever since Fina paid a call. Don L says forget the beeyatch, they are all friends here. Nope, says grumpy jowls, they are NOT all friends. He glares at Doc T and tells him he should have the pantalones to tell him to his face he boinked his wife. About half a second later he picks up the bottle of tequila and smashes Doc T on the head! Holy cow, that surprised the crap out of Doc T and me.
Doc manages to backhand Assgusto (yay!!) but Asshat beats him to a pulp before Brau can pull him away. “Traitor!!” yells Asshat, and adds all his other gripes to this mashup performance, somehow confusing Doc T with Rosendo and God only knows what else. Lucio is as baffled as I am, “Dude, you’re not fighting with Rosendo. Get a grip. Carambas!” Doc T can only sit there with blood streaming from his nose. They call an ambulance. I think they should call the police too, but that’s just me. And props to the makeup crew, Doc’s bloody face looks grossly authentic.
Somebody must have given Elisa’s script to Flor tonight. She’s sitting on her bed crying over, wait for it, Damian. Fina flounces in, fanning madly, and berates Flor for blubbering instead of taking action. Fina assures her that soon Dam will be back, begging forgiveness and (fliiiiiip!) everything will be back to normal (fliiiiiiip!). Flor’s not buying it and she can’t wait to get out of this Dam town. Fina informs Flor that Guido has agreed to run the Proce until Dam’s brains move back upstairs (fliiiiip!). She needs Flor’s help because she can’t control Dam all on her own! (Fliiiiiiiip! Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack.)
At least someone gets to finish dinner tonight. The original foursome (Padre L has left the table) finish their muy rica comida and Gael offers to walk Paloma home. Dam wants to walk Elisa but she doesn’t think that’s a good idea considering dad already shot him once and still wants to murder him. Her relationship with dad is getting better so he just needs a little time. (And no weapons nearby. And anger management counseling. And a brain transplant.)
There’s GABINO MENDOZA, playing with his generic beer bottle again. Ingrid gripes that she hasn’t been able to get a hold of Kenia, her daughter with the supreme bad taste to fall for Assgusto. Kenia is the one who realized the importance of those tickets they discovered, that Rosendo was having an affair with Carmina, not Estefania. This info wakes GABINO up; he says for Kenia’s own good she’d better keep her mouth shut about this. He wants those tickets back NOW. II says fine, give back her money first. He says fine keep them, but II had better warn Kenia to keep it zipped. That’s what II has been saying, she can’t find Kenia which is very strange. Gab wonders if Kenia might have said something to Carmina and for her own good the answer had better be no.
Close ups of habaneros and happy, clean workers toiling amidst the pepper plants, i.e. it’s the next morning. Whatevs.
Asshat recalls a time with Stef when he asks if she ever regrets marrying him. She very sweetly says “No, I’ve never been happier than with you.” Carmina walks in and gripes about sleeping alone again. Then she sees his bruised face (where Doc T backhanded him, yay!) and comments “drunk again?” “Just a barroom brawl, nothing important,” he croaks. He adds they (he and she) tried to give things a chance but it’s just not working out. She backpedals, hits rewind, and tells him to enjoy his tea. Gawd how pathetic.
Oh dear, Horacio and Lolita are with Padre L planning their wedding. Padre tells Horacio what a great woman Lolita is and he hopes Horacio is just as good. Nobody’s perfect, says Horacio, but he looks forward to starting a new life with Lolita, new business, family, etc.
GABINO MENDOZA never learns. He’s at the Proce sticking it to Maru and bragging since Dam left he, GABINO MENDOZA, is now The Boss of Everyone. Maru tells him her instructions are otherwise. Señora Arrrrrango herself told her that Señor Landucci is the boss since Dam Absent left, bwahahaha. I love how she shakes her pencil at him. She says in spite of all his sucking up (lambisconería) he’s still in last Last LAST place.
Good grief I thought it would never happen. At last we are served some beefcake and cheesecake at the cenote. Dam and Elisa get right down to besos business. Gael can’t keep his eyes off of them, sad for Paloma. She even tries her little “let’s see how long we can hold our breaths” game but Gael doesn’t notice.
Horacio and Lolita stroll the square and excitedly discuss their wedding. She says if only Blanquita were still around she would have the nicest dress in the world. He changes the subject, what about that surprise she has for him?
They head over to Blanca’s burned out Casa de Modas and Horacio flashes back to his dirty deed. Lolita excitedly runs to the casita, claps her hands, “here we are!” He flashes back to the explosion that he caused. Lolita exclaims this is her surprise. Don Lucio will let them use it with no rent until they can afford to pay. Yes, it will need a lot of work because it was burned so badly inside. Nope, he doesn’t like it, he says not here. Why not?? It’s a great location. “NO!! End of discussion!” he roars. Run Lolita Run!
GABINO MENDOZA’s belt buckle, followed by GABINO MENDOZA, stalks into Guido’s office. “What, people around here don’t knock first?” asks Guido. “Just wanted to congratulate you Don...Guidio [sic]” growls GABINO. He grumbles that Guido sure played his cards right with Alfonsina, a big loan and now head of her company. Guido doesn’t like Gabino’s tone. Gabino doesn’t like someone taking advantage of his boss lady. Gabino threatens some more and Guido observes that Gabino talks like Fina is his property, like she is his woman instead of his boss. Gabino had better not act up or he’s liable to get fired. “Mi patrona would never allow it!” retorts Gabino. “You want to prove it?” challenges Guido.
Guido = 1, Gabino = 0. But watch your back Guido.
Elisa and Dam are still macking it up at the Cenote. Gael is still gawking and Paloma is still trying to get Gael’s attention. (Where’s the body? That’s all I can think of.) Elisa asks about Dam’s amulet. He admits he lost it the day he was shot. Paloma pipes up she’s got to get back to work and Elisa wonders why she hasn’t been fired yet. (That’s what we’re all wondering too.) Uh oh, Paloma sees something. It’s Kenia’s note all crumpled up. Pal says it’s from Kenia telling Elisa’s papa goodbye.
Carmina, looking like Satan’s concubine, slithers into the church. Padre yells she’s not welcome, what does she think she’s doing there? She hisses she won’t beat about the bush, with whom has he been talking? He swore to her that her confession would be confidential. Padre is incensed, sadly he has carried the weight of her confession all these years and he will continue to do so because it’s his duty to God. She challenges him to swear to God he hasn’t blabbed. Bah, she should know he can’t do that, she’ll just have to take his word for it. OK, just checking, she says. “Wait woman, why are you suspicious all of a sudden?” he demands, “ it means you’re afraid someone else knows about your past. Well guess what, someone other than me knows exactly what you did, and not only that, they have proof.”
Dam and Elisa are still happy, but it hasn’t been 24 hours yet.
Avances: Carmina’s indiscretions are about to be revealed! Secrets come to light!

Oh you were on fire tonight, Sylvia! There are so many fabulous lines (from the perfect title to the job openings and right on through), it's hard to pick my favs. But I think I love this one the best:
Do it! Do it before you become crazy like the rest of the La Ermutants! We’re saving your seat on the patio
So much fragile, illusory joy tonight. So much tsuris for Cynderella to deal with tomorrow.

So much fragile, illusory joy tonight. So much tsuris for Cynderella to deal with tomorrow.
Novela Maven, how sweet of you to comment. It's always fun to know someone else is up late. Tonight's episode was not nearly as exciting as last night's, however we did get a lot of setting up for drama and excitement to come.
I was hoping that Guido wouldn't get drawn into this mess, but I'm glad for the actor that he'll have a bit more fun than just being a sensible, boring old dad. Guido made himself one heck of an enemy tonight even though he didn't do anything to provoke it. All I can say is Welcome to La Ermita.

Just love the snark Sylvia! Was it wrong of me to be laughing at some of the more serious moments last night? I agree some of these people need anger management classes or a good psychiatrist. Some of the lines I love:
"(Do it! Do it before you become crazy like the rest of the La Ermutants! We’re saving your seat on the patio.)"
"GABINO MENDOZA’s belt buckle, followed by GABINO MENDOZA..."
"(Fliiiiiiiip! Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack.)"
I think Alfi's fan deserves it's own line in the credits. She really knows how to work that thing. But dang, though I love having Guido around, hate the fact that he's now under her thumb. But it was sooooooo fun watching him go up against Gabino. Wow, that poor dude looked like he was going to burst a blood vessel last night. I say the denizens of La Ermita better watch the buckled stud. He needs to lash out someway, somehow to someone.
Not happy that the poor Doc is paying the price for his role in the hay with Rusty already. Not too thrilled to see how that plays out when the rumors start spreading. (Begonya should have "fun" with this one...NOT!"
When Rusty does her creepy eye thing, anyone reminded of Charlie Brown's Snoopy doing his vulture imitation before he pounces on someone? Swear she has nailed that!
OK, have to say this. Gael just broke my heart last night. Sure, he could have done a better job hiding his feelings, but I'm picking up the vibe that he thinks Dam is still going to hurt Elisa and doesn't deserve her. (But honey, you deserve BETTER than her too.) And if Pal continues to try and throw herself or "convince" him that he loves her more than Elisa, then she's more Pathetic than I thought. Short of flashing lights and firecrackers to get her to open her eyes, I don't know how much more obvious it is. Maybe we should buy her a copy of "He's Just Not THat Into You."

As I recall, Kenia paid a year's rent on that house in advance. Anyone want to help me unload my stuff?

Sylvia: Exceptional from start to finish. "Homicide takes it out of a woman, dontcha know" and "She just needed a little injection of nasty ‘ho to give her an appetite" had me smiling and nodding in vigorous agreement. But your masterpiece was "GABINO MENDOZA’s belt buckle, followed by GABINO MENDOZA" which had me laughing out loud. Most excellent
I thought the episode was one of the best yet. The acting was stellar - especially by Fina, Carmina and Armando.
The idea of a dinner party always seems so glamorous - something neither of the ones lived up to in the slightest.
Gael could not tear his eyes away from Elisa and daisy ITA that Paloma is in total denial and needs to gather some self-esteem and respect quickly. A real relationship has 2 participants - fully engaged.
NovelaMaven: "So much fragile, illusory joy tonight" - what a wonderful line!
For a brief moment, I felt badly for Augusto. Betrayed by not one but two of your closest friends (he believes). But I had only to remember his cold, callous treatment of Elisa all these years to let any sympathy quickly evaporate.
And Lolita. Oh dear. What a horrible mess.
Thanks again Sylvia. You made my day.
Happy Friday all!
Diana

Cap'n Sylvia -
Thanks for the recap. The snark had me giggling. :-)
I could NOT enjoy the beefcake at the cenote. I was squirming in my seat, expecting to see Kenia's body pop up right next to one of them, or worse yet, TOUCH them. Eeeeew! Writers did a good job with this.
"Do it! Do it before you become crazy like the rest of the La Ermutants! We’re saving your seat on the patio."
This is definitely my favorite line, too!
Was it my imagination, or did Gael have a sick-to-his-stomach look on his face in ~all~ the DamLisa /Gaeloma scenes while looking at DamLisa?
Bad, stiff, uncomfy dinner scenes all around. Pass the Rolaids, please.
I loved how Guido handled Gabino. Cool as a cucumber.
Oooh, advances show a Damian in his briefs shot. More beefcake. Woot!Woot! He'll sell a lot of irons tonight.

They're from my latest collection. This line has a lot of bulls and matadors on it because of the amount of BS so many of these characters dish out.
I'd feel sorry for the doc, but you can't boink a rotting orange without serious consequences.
Does anyone else think that the good Padre should have the church fumigated and exorcized after she's been in it?

daisynjay - You're spot on with the Snoopy/Vulture eyes assessment. LOL
I thought Carmina looked somewhat horrified at what she had done. All it took, though, was a little distraction in the form of Doc T to get her back to her old self.

Sylvia,
Once again your recap was much better than the actual episode.
Too many lines to quote, this is among my top favs; "Homicide takes it out of a woman, dontcha know"
I loved the bold letters, too. :-)
It seems like we are slow-crawling towards excitement. If only we could eliminate all Dumb'n'Lisa kissing scenes. And crying scenes. I think back to that first real makeout scene between the two where he grabs her, says I'm completely crazy about you, dying of jealousy". That was hot. Believable. This new garbage? Ick. I'm gonna start counting the times he says Con Toooooodo (pause) mi (pause) Aaaaaaaalma. Constipated much?
Love your Fliiiips!

Sylvia- Thanks for getting us giggling again after the last horrible episode. So sad that no one even knows Kenia is dead or missing yet. Yes, the writers were playing with us with that cenote scene, making us wonder where Kenia's poor lifeless body ended up. It will likely be the lake as we all guessed yesterday.
Things aren't looking good for Augie. First he shoots Dam and nearly gets sent to the big house for it. People in town have seen him arguing with Kenia in public and the rumor is already out that she was his lover. Now half the men in town saw him have an emotional breakdown and violently attack Doc Tovar calling him "Rosendo" and accusing him of having an affair with Stefi. Soon people will be connecting some more dots when Kenia is missing or found dead (drowned), and the only evidence of her last activities is a crumpled up note addressed to Augie found by the cenote. Hmmm... Looks like Augie's being set up to be sent to prison for realz this time.
Although I love Gael, I could not stand his attitude last night. Sorry, I did not feel sad for him one bit. He was just being rude to his friends, and especially to his girlfriend. He knows the Elisa shipped has sailed. He knows what Elisa and Dam feel for each other. Dam has been reaching out to him since he got back to rebuild their friendship and Gael is always holding him at arms length. And last night he was just being pouty and bratty. I hope Paloma wakes up and dumps him soon.

I was sure the four friends would find that body. Is there any way Carmina could have removed the body? Did she bury it? Except that Ramona made that comment about the cenote current...I guess it all remains to be seen.
I was thinking last night, I'm always pretty hard on Paloma, but if you think about it, she's gonna have a rough time if she finds out that she IS in fact GABINO MENDOZA's daughter. We're not 100% sure, right? But its been seriously implied. Maybe that's where her indiscretion comes from...

Many, many wonderful lines tonight, but I went for the dark humor:
- Kenia, here’s to you. We hope you surface soon.
- Pop! goes the Bitch Queen of the Galaxy.
- He picks up the bottle of tequila and smashes Doc T on the head! Holy cow, that surprised the crap out of Doc T and me.
- Carmina, looking like Satan’s concubine, slithers into the church.
- Dam and Elisa are still happy, but it hasn’t been 24 hours yet.
I may have to start recording again just to check out Fina's outfits. Elisa's are best left to the imagination, since they don't. (Leave anything to the imagination, that is.)

Loved your recap today. Most of my favorite lines were already mentioned but especially enjoyed:
He picks up the bottle of tequila and smashes Doc T on the head! Holy cow, that surprised the crap out of Doc T and me.
Carmina, looking like Satan’s concubine, slithers into the church.
I almost feel afraid for Fr. Lupe. Anybody else have any idea of why Carmina wants to be with Augusto? I mean we all know she doesn't really care about him so why stick around?
My completely unprofessional opinion is that she only wants to maintain appearances. She wants to be seen as a decent upstanding person.
My biggest fear is what Carmina is willing to do to maintain that image. I would assume that Augusto wants a definite divorce now that he knows about the Dr and his wife. I remember someone saying that Augusto would probably need to be on suicide watch after he finds out about Estefania but I feel that Carmina would take him out if he ever found out. With him dead she is free to play the card of a widow and maintain the appearance she wants.
But I digress. Really thought that Kenia would turn up at the love scene of the Cenote. Anyone else thinks that someone else is being set up for Kenia's death?
Dave
He picks up the bottle of tequila and smashes Doc T on the head! Holy cow, that surprised the crap out of Doc T and me.
Carmina, looking like Satan’s concubine, slithers into the church.
I almost feel afraid for Fr. Lupe. Anybody else have any idea of why Carmina wants to be with Augusto? I mean we all know she doesn't really care about him so why stick around?

Sylvia, there so many really good lines, these are just a few of my favorites:
“Pop! goes the Bitch Queen of the Galaxy."
“Speaking of mad fanning, Begoña’s got hers flapping as fast as her mouth”
“Carmina, looking like Satan’s concubine, slithers into the church.”
You managed to give viewerville, a little on edge with lake/cenote worry, some delightful laughs! Thanks Sylvia!
Diana, although I have managed to see a tiny mustard seed of goodness in Augusto,(quite an effort, my eyes are bloodshot!) I do agree with you, historically, he has treated Elisa in a cold and callous manner. I am happy that he has managed to change a little, before he learned that she is his “blood” daughter. He needed to do that. If he suddenly said “Mi hija” and then began showering her with love, that would really be hard to stomach. In my way of thinking, he has already softened a little, still thinking that she is the daughter of Rosendo Arango, which is very, very important. He does have a long way to go yet to arrive at the place he was in the beginning of the novela, a loving father, and I for one am hoping he gets there soon!
Kathleen, yes, we do have many more reveals left with parentage in the novela. While we speculate, the writers are playing their cards close to their vests, aren’t they!

Dave, “My completely unprofessional opinion is that she only wants to maintain appearances.” I agree, in fact early on when Stefe was still alive, Carmina said as much. When talking with her sister, she cast her eyes about the house and said “I want this!” meaning the whole package, house, husband and as your said, standing.
I can’t imagine anyone other than Augusto being blamed for the murder, although he has an alibi, he was with Dr. Tovar. I’m sure we won’t have a CSI investigation though!

Great read Sylvia! I really enjoyed the recap.
I have also been enjoying the fans - abanicos de mano according to my dictionary. Friends tell me they sell some nice ones in Progreso, MX. I need to get over there to buy me some, and we can certainly use them around here in the summer!

Masterful work!!
I loved the open positions at La Ermita.
As has been noted other good lines are
-Pop goes the Bitch Queen of the Galaxy.
-Every fliiip an thwaap thwaap
I'm with Blue Lass, you're dark lines (We hope you surface soon; Satan's concubine) are the best ones.
Now, the episode.
I am leaving the Horacio table for a while. He yelled at Lolita. NOT COOL, DUDE.

PS:
Dear Vestuario,
I believe I am not alone in my request that you dress Guido in a nice, well-fitted suit. Schlumpy polos for the work place? Really?
Love,
Me.

Sara- Guido does wear nice suits when he's in D.F. I think La Emita is too damn hot for that. No one there wear's suits.
UA, the link was wonderful I may pull that up as I watch Alfi to see if she is really using that fan to send secret messages to those she talks to (Especially with Guido).
Did like the upper hand attitude Padre took with Carmina at the end...but who is she going to surmise knows all? Dear Padre may have wanted to make her nervous, but not too cool to let on someone out there knows her secret. Little naive that he doesn't think she would act on that she wouldn't try to find out who and then act on that.

Ok, Vivi. I will concede it's hot. How 'bout a nice guaybera or some other traditional shirt. He just looked so "dude I got so wasted at the kegger" sloppy in that polo.
I forgot to comment yesterday and discussion about Diego Olivera's kissing technique reminded me:
Does anyone remember Sabrina's face when Paolo kissed her on Wednesday? Does Sergio Meyer have sulfuric acid breath? She screwed up her face and looked miserable.

wonderful and funny as always, cap'n!.. besides the popular advice for Guido and the invite to the Patio.. here are my other favs..
My fav Open positions: Anger Management Counselor (FT), Fashion Consultant specializing in What Not to Wear (FT), Fan Maker (As Needed). (ROFLOL on the fan maker … I did notice Alfie was working that fan into shreds)
Dam and Elisa… Let’s see if they can last 24 hours.
(fliiiiiip!)
She says she’s not up to it. (Homicide takes it out of a woman, dontcha know.)
(Tangel-Ho) says she wouldn’t re-boink an insipid like him, she doesn’t like to eat the same dish twice. (Is it me or are her lines awesome tonight?)
Dam learned to make pasta while he was in Italy. He’ll have Elisa popping out of her hotpants in no time.
The kids decide to go swimming at the cenote tomorrow for old time’s sake. Qué buena idea! (Ruh Roh!!!)
Did anyone else think… well, they’ll have one uninvited dead body out there…
GABINO MENDOZA never learns. He’s at the Proce sticking it to Maru and bragging he, GABINO MENDOZA, is now The Boss of Everyone…
GABINO MENDOZA’s belt buckle, followed by GABINO MENDOZA, stalks into Guido’s office…Guido = 1, Gabino = 0. But watch your back Guido.
I LOOOOOVEEDDD Gabino’s facial expression when Maru said… ‘nope… guess again…’
(Where’s the body? That’s all I can think of.)… exactly!
Dam and Elisa are still happy, but it hasn’t been 24 hours yet. ROFLOL!!
i am in awe... someday i will get as good with the snark as the rest of you all...

oh and the Carmina backpedalling once Assgusto said it is no use trying our relationship again... pathetic indeed... ff>>
Sylvia this was a great recap and you are continuing the song title theme, excellent.
Diana - yes the Lolita plot is awful and this farce marriage to a murderer and arsonist to one of the TNs best characters needs to end quickly. We already know its going to be painful when the truth comes out so let it end now. And as Sara noted, his yelling at Lolita did him no favors.
The only things Horacio can do in his death are protect whichever innocent is about to be harmed, tell about Carmeany's postal-jacking, and that she received Kenia note not Disgusto.
Dave & Sandy - its not just that the Orange Menace wants standing, she has been envious of Stephi her entire life. She coveted everything her sister had, except Elisa.
UA - thanks for the link. You always give us such interesting tidbits.
Vivi - ITA regarding pouting Gael. And unfortunately Paloma doesn't have the strength to stop this fantasy of hers.
daisynjay - yes Padre didn't realize he's putting a bulls eye on someone.
I don't like how the good characters are often written so dense. While Padre might not be able to fathom his own sister's depravity - but, she has been evil to Gael since he was a child so he's being blind here - he knows the fraud Orange-ho has been up to for decades. I know murder might be too much for him to comprehend but he knows both women are wicked and want their way and this "glorious" combination typically leads to somebody else dying.
Oh and Gabino. How long will he tolerate Fina treating him the way she does before he snaps? II is pushing him toward to end and Ramona implied she'll push him over the edge to his death. He and Fina have this hate chess game going but she has much more to loose b/c he has so much on her.

Bad, stiff, uncomfy dinner scenes all around. Pass the Rolaids, please.

If I'm leisurely laughing over breakfast, it must be Friday and Sylvia's recap day! What a way to kick it off.
Loved:
- let's go back to the more civilized mediterranean dinner at the rectory, pasta, red wine, and hunks
- La Ermutants!
- Somebody must have given Elisa's script to Flor tonight.
- Gabino Mendoza's belt buckle, followed by Gabino Mendoza.
And BEST OF THE BEST:
- Carmina, looking like Satan's concubine, slithers into the church
I also like the visual of "It's always a full moon in La Ermita". Seems the Mark T shower pic popped up in my mind.
About Beltbuckles: Gabino's, Tonio's and now on the new Dallas we see JR's HUGE J.R. beltbuckle. Almost as big as his eyebrows.
Off to watch the dinner parties on my telenovelliptical!

Wow, Sylvia, you make it seem so effortless. This was so very well done.
I have to admit that I've felt rather lukewarm toward toward Guido but he won me over last night. As you pointed out, Sylvia, he handily won round one toe to toe with Gabino.
I know this will not be popular with the Guido-Girls, but now I want to see a little dalliance between him and Ingid. Nothing real serious mind you, but enough to annoy both Gabino and Alfonsina. He really needs a little diversion.
The scene in the church between Carmina and Padre Lupe reminded me of when they were the cutest couple in La Madrastra, Bruno and Fabiola. I know, everyone's seen that clip a zillion times, but I can never get enough of it. When on when are they going to do a remake of that wonderful TN?

Oh Blue Lass I hope you understand my defection. I will join you at the DLT.
Carlos- I love your Guido/ING idea!
Carlos- I love your Guido/ING idea!
So many great lines....
"Mediterranean dinner at the rectory, pasta, red wine and hunks." (Amen, and I'll have seconds, thank you very much.)
"She's a bitch but she's magnificent." (So true, I had to admire Alfonsina's gift of control and dominance in every situation last night.)
"Carmina, looking like Satan's concubine, slithers into church." (Everybody's favorite line, and no wonder. Simply perfect.)
Now on the angel question. Interesting one. I like to think that Blanca knows...but being in Heaven she also understands and forgives all. Pure speculation (and wishful thinking) on my part, but I imagine if Blanca does know all, then she is also concerned about Lolita, knowing this is not the right man for her, regardless of Blanca's forgiveness.
Another wonderful recap Sylvia. Black humor indeed. I don't like to think of Kenia surfacing after a few days and nights in the heat and the water of the cenote however.

Urban A, fantastic link. I love it! Thank you. I wish I'd known about it last night; I could have had fun with all the messages.
Blue Lass, "Anyone want to help me unload my stuff?", I'm there! By the way, I still owe you a drinkie-poo from El Tal (Mariana's namesake), but I'm a little afraid to go to the cantina.
Sara, if you want the Fashion Consultant position you've got it. I hate the way they dress Guido. The guy has a good physique, why not make the most of it? His trousers are probably fine, but those shirts...blech.
Carlos, love your pairing idea. I hate to think what Alfonsina would do to her poor, innocent fan if she saw her Real Man Guido with Ingrid.
JudyB, thank you for your thoughts on Blanca. This morning I am hoping that whatever Blanca feels she will help steer Lolita away from Horacio. He showed last night that he has the potential for a nasty temper in addition to being a weak-willed murderer.
Thanks for the comments everyone. I can always count on this group to be 1) observant and 2) hilarious.

Being I despise II, I guess I couldn't wish poor Guido to get messed up with her Carlos.
Now what would be cool and I could buy into, is Guido and Lolita. A beautiful woman with a good soul from a simple background. That would just set Alfi AND his daughter off the deep end with their ideas of "class" appropriateness.

Thanks for the very humorous recap. So many funny aside comments, I love it.
While everyone else was worried about Kenia's body surfacing at the cenote, I couldn't get over how humongous Elisa's boobs are. Sheesh, they look even bigger than on Teresa. No wonder Gael couldn't take his eyes off of her. He was probably as amazed as me at the unnatural size they have become.
I was praying that Padre wouldn't spill who it is who knows all of Carmina's bad doings. I really like Ramona and don't want her to be the next victim.
The Guido-Gabino exchange was great. I hope they write Guido's character as a smart tough guy who has everyone's number. This show needs one of them.
If Augusto is put in jail over dead Kenia, what will Carmina do?

daisynjay, yes! Guido + Lolita would really infuriate Alfonsina. Guido would probably be happier with Lolita, but she's just got to end up with Braulio. Sorry Antonia.
cathyx, what will Carmina do if Augusto ends up in jail? Blame Elisa somehow or generally wreak havoc. The quick avances showed her hissing something to Horacio so she's going to make him do more bad stuff.

Okay, now that I've watched, I have to ask what was Kenia doing just standing there in the cenote with her pants not even rolled up? She looked like she was fly fishing with no rod.
I wasn't as worried as some that she'd surface at the cenote. Aren't we expecting it to be at Ramona's? Wasn't that the point of that conversation with Padre? To let us know all those waters are connected?
So when Ramona starts in with some cryptic babble "a storm is a brewin' and the doom is colored orange" or some such, then I think we'll see poor Kenia bobbing around.
My favorite scene was Begonia getting busted bad-mouthing Alfi! And the glee Carmina got. Nothing like reveling in someone else's horror to make you forget you just drowned somebody.
Sylvia, I totally agree that Alfi looked so nice in that beautiful brown, slightly flowered, off centered dress. It really was a pretty dress.

I really have to hand it to Televisa, they seem to be able to costume more mature actors very well. Here, Fina and Lolita are always lovely and on Amorcito I find myself by Hortensia's and Beba's style (seriously, they always look so put together...even in gym suits) and on LLFD I loved Delia Casanova's costuming.
Apparently vestuario doesn't know how to dress fake-boobed 20 somethings.

What we learned last night:
We are reminded via flashback that Augusto was the R. Kelly of La Ermita.
We also learned Gael had a bit of a boner and was trying to hide it by turning to the side and holding his shirt in front of him.

Blood was pulsating to his central thinking appendage.
Just one comment aside from the above: wardrobe should be taken aside and slapped. Elisa should not be dressed as a hooker. She's the virginal heroine in love with her lands. Evidently they have not put too much thought in her dress other than showing off assets.

I'm not sure who caused the biggest choking spell, Anon 204 with her assertion or Marta with her question.
Uuuh...Next!

Morse, you are so right (and welcome!!). They could take a lesson from how Luciana is dressed in Refugio. Elisa is supposed to be a local girl who's father is a farmer/agriculturists. Nothing she wears is ever practical, shows she has ever "worked" in those fields or crops her mother loved so much, or even resembles local dress (like Lola or Alfi do.) I would have been happy with the tight riding jeans look vs. those stupid shorts and sleeveless bed-tees she wears. Maybe it's in Boyer's contract to sex her up, but it's really in bad taste for her character. Also makes her look like an over-over-developed teeny-bopper and isn't she supposed to be early 20's?

Ditto.
Another thought: Is it possible that it is easier to find clothing for "real" bodies as opposed to er "fake" ones? How much of costuming is made "in house" and how much is "off the rack" (no pun intended.)
Am I making sense?
Hmmm. THinking further, my theory doesn't quite hold. Ms. Boyer was rather well dressed for Teresa and quite frankly, she was kind of cutely dressed in the early days of this one (Blanca's dress shop explosion and final credit white dress are examples.) Lately she looks like the queen of the ragamuffin strumpets.

LOL you could see a lil' tent forming in those orange boxers as he stared at Elisa and was molested by Paloma. I was amused as he (the actor) was trying to hide it by turning to the side and wrapping the towel around his waist and holding the shirt in front of his boxers. I didn't see all of that going on with Damian but then again his boxers were dark.

ok sorry i figured that was getting me in trouble, Carlos, but i was dying with curiosity...

Marta, bwahahahaaa!!! I can't believe Mark T did that thing with his finger, lol. That's too funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Brilliant, Sylvia! "Satan's Concubine" - perfect position description for Carmina and she sure as hell looked the part!
No contest as to who looked better in a little bikini swimsuit at the cenote. Paloma's probably the cause of Gael's priapism, not Elisa.
I was waiting for one of the four to yell "que demonios did I just step on?" Ramona's comment about the lake being connected to the cenote was likely included in the script for a reason.
So cool the way Blanca Guerra was using the fan "fliiiips" to punctuate her lines last night.
Speaking of Fuze drinks and spewing sticky fluids, our new Mexican place sometimes has "Red Bull Margaritas" on special. Somehow that lacks appeal.

Mike,
I was waiting for one of the four to yell "que demonios did I just step on?
LOL!! me too!
yeah those margaritas sound like the bacon ice cream we hear about every now and then... they just dont go together... or at least don't sound appealing.

Gosh, I don't know how many months it has been since I last checked in here, but the talent and hilarity just keep getting better and better - and that is from a point when it didn't seem possible that you folks could be funnier!
I don't know anything about any of the novelas anymore, never thought after 12 or so years I would ever say that, but my life just doesn't lend itself to serial daily programming currently. In sum, I could no longer keep up.
This recap is amazing and despite not knowing any of the characters, I conjure up such fun, vivid, imagery from your words.
Kudos to you for the continuing inspired work on these recaps and I sure hope all my buddies here are doing well these days. Hello and besos a todos,
Kris

Well talk about a voice from the past! Thanks for checking in Kris, it's always great to hear from you and your pink boxing gloves.
Mike, very cool avatar!

I always figured Alfonsina is fliiiiiping that fan because of hot flashes. She is of the appropriate age . . .
Vaya vaya vaya...Kris! So good to see you here. You have been greatly missed.
Even if you don't have time to watch telenovelas, hope you will check in here on a regular basis, because we would love to know how you're doing. Hope all is well, with novios, amigos, amigas, gatitas y todo.

Thanks! On the gatito count, it now be six. Two more strays, one of whom is absolutely the most wonderful marvelous cat ever. He is secretly a dog and suffers from species-dysphoria. He happily walks on a leash, goes places to hang out with me, greets me at my car when I come home and follows me into the house, travels in the car pretty well, and more. He is an absolute gem.
ok i know Gael is hurting... but hide the amulet that he knew meant so much to Damian? that is just childish, esp when he took the trouble to come back to La Ermita to save Dam's life, knowing Elisa would get back with him sooner or later... that makes no sense at all.
it was very fun to watch them race to the bathroom to 'be first in the shower' ... did Gael say he smelled like a wet dog? LOL!!!!!
