Por ella soy Eva #49 10/24/12: Cats and Dogs
Hey guys! It's me again!
We lay our scene at the beginning (I think) of the conference where Helena will make her big presentation. As usual, I am not clear on whether this is a recap from yesterday or it's new footage.
Eva/Juan, Pluto, Rebe, Helena, and Adriano are all having a little chat before things get started. There is panning video of Mexican beachfront in the background that makes me a little queasy. Anyway, Rebe is being her usual self and picking at Helena. Pretty soon, Pluto gets dragged into the fight and things get a little catty before Eva busts in to stop the bickering! "Come on guys, we all work for the same company after all, so save the salsa for later!" She busts out my favorite colloquialism of the day (totally worth stopping to look it up): you all better not "hacer caravanas con sombrero ajeno..." steal her thunder/take credit for her achievement (I am open to anybody's best guess on what that interpretation has to do with caravans and the hats of others).
Rebe (who looks different now that she isn't wearing that silly dress with the leopard print around the boobs - seriously, this is a rare sighting!) storms off and, what do you know, things become amiable again! Once they've had their pep-talk, Pluto tracks Rebe down in the parking deck so she can yell at him some more. See, she's pissed about how long it's been since they had one of their little "executive juntitos" (sex), and tells him that his pathetic excuse (that his wife just died) is wearing thin. He sticks to that tired excuse, and leaves to join his current object of desire, Helena. Rebe shouts after him that it's small riddance, because he wasn't ever that good in bed anyway.
Helena, for her part, impresses with a cool presentation and a neat video, but afterwards Eva won't shut up with the congratulations! She stands up, applauds and hoots excessively, and makes everyone present spell out Helena's name... "GIMME AN H!" Seriously. Gimme a BREAK!
Back at Grupo Imperio (I keep wanting to abbreviate it, but there is very little gastrointestinal about the place), Eva is in an executive meeting (a real executive meeting. not sex.) with Pluto and Adriano. She wants them to hire back the 100 women who she herself fired back when she was Juan, to celebrate their firm's great success at the conference. Pluto objects, saying they couldn't afford it. Eva gives him an obnoxious wink and turns to Adriano and announces that, well, maybe if we had as much money as PLUTARCO SAID WE DID IN HIS DOCTORED FINANCIAL REPORTS we could hire them all back. Zing!
This really gets Pluto. Along with some other choice comments, he says "what do you know of the complicated world of finances, you're just an up-jumped secretary!" Unfortunately, as the conversation proceeds (perhaps because she's trying to show some financial acumen), Eva accidentally lets slip that she knows Adriano was going to sell some of his shares, a fact that only Juan knew. Adriano calls her on it and she stammers "what? what? what did you say" for about a minute, stalling for time. Eventually, she comes up with a pretty good cover, claiming that, well, she had an "evening" with Juan and he let it slip. Everyone knows what a womanizer that rascally Juan was, so they let it slide. Even Pluto grudgingly accepts that Eva must have been one of Juan's many "duchesses." That being said, Adriano still won't hire back the 100 women. Oh well.
Since Eva can't get back the jobs of all the women she canned when she was Juan, she decides she will try to improve the working conditions of the ladies who remain with Grupo Imperio, starting with a regular meeting for female employees only. The men of GI (Ok, it's not so bad) guffaw a bit (Adriano: "Uh, caray, and how will women ever have fun without men?") and plan a men-only event: Santi's bachelor party.
Santi has a chat w/ Adriano and they talk about how to move on in life w/out Juan and Antonia. Also, he hands his boss a wedding invitation, which comes in a weird plastic wrapper. Santi gets a little mushy and sad about Juan, and feels bad about getting married without his best bud present. I don't blame him - Juan wasn't there for his last attempted wedding, and look what a disaster that turned into! For those who don't remember, that wedding was crashed not once but TWICE in the "state your objections or hold your peace" phase by putative lovers (only one of them was an actual girlfriend) calling him a lying cad. The girls come in, and Helena gets a bit misty about Juan, too. Eva/Juan enjoys hearing Helena and Santi moping about how great Juan was, and chimes in, saying that this Juan guy must have been some awesome dude - but don't forget him!
Then we are treated to another distasteful scene with Helena's Angry Bad Dad. Groan! Dishrag Mom mops and mopes. Honestly, woman, just leave!
Then Angry Bad Dad gives his grandson Lalito a suit and tells the boy that he will have to be the man of his mother's house, which means being strong and manly and, uh, spying on her every action and reporting them back.
Eva sees Samanta crying in the bathroom and tells her that it'll be ok - all troubles are caused by men, and they're not worth it. She invites her to the GI girls' night..
Speaking of the man Samanta was obviously crying about, Pluto grabs Samanta and yells at her for not answering the phone and for coming to work at GI (he is understandably anxious about having his ex-co-conspirator around). She says it's just a job, she really needs money. He says I gave you a ton for that perjury you committed. What, did you spent it all on your lover? Pluto demands that she leave GI immediately, and he's prepared to pay. She looks pleased about the prospect of extracting more money from him!
Fernando and Santi continue to guffaw about the women's meeting. Eva calls Fernando "Don Arquaico" (boy, given his family values, I'm ashamed I didn't come up with that nickname first) and tells him he's probably just afraid of women gathering together. Don Arquaico's wife Marcela agrees, stating that men are simply afraid that the women will scheme against them.
For his part, Adriano will take Santi and the boys to some strip joint called "Calcuta" to see the murritas (an obscene game). They will celebrate Santi's bachelor party "like only a man deserves." We get to see them engaging in carousing and ogle-ating. They do a little bit of talking, too, and Adriano reveals that he's still a little broken up over the end of his relationship with that 16-year-old, and he's not sure if he's looking for distraction or to "sentar cabeza" (settle down).
In a fun parallel, we cut directly to the lady-meeting. There is less carousal, but they actually look like they're having more fun. It's funny to see these women (particularly that set of 3 secretaries we see so often) not in their tiny blue demeaning sexy-flight-attendant outfits. They get to chatting. Samanta tells them that she is pleased with the dynamism of GI as compared to Taurus (her previous employer), and that's the extend of their talk about business. Of course the first and only topic to follow is MEN. They are as treacherous as cats! Pretty soon, they get to talking about Juan, who, I imagine, had a little bit of a "que ver" with nearly every woman in the room before his untimely framing and fake death. Eva listens quite intently, trying to pick up some dirt on his former self (and taking advantage of the opportunity to pump Helena for info on her love life. he's happy to hear that she's not thinking romantically about anyone).
The orange-hair secretary reveals that she once had a noche de copas with their fat old boss. I think it's Rebeca who says that men are like dogs: they must be domesticated. Speaking of dogs, the boys are at the kennel, howling, guffawing and carousing like there's no tomorrow.
The complaints and gripes and sad stories about men go on for a bit, and Eva butts in with a very poorly-received crack - he suggests that "all men must be blind because you, ladies, are super hot!" I don't really see why they chose to emphasize this flop.
Then they talk about family. Rebe: "I would never disgrace my body with children!" Then Samanta admits that she once had an abortion. She never knew who the father was. But, here's the kicker: she suspects it was Juan! Helena facepalms and Eva looks around awkwardly.
Sadly, I can't tell you what happens in the avances, because the chickens were too loud for me to hear!

Thanks Ezra. Your recaps are always fun.
One thing -- Samantha knows the father was Juan Carlos but she said that the father (JC) never knew about the baby.
Someone last week predicted that this was the reason that Samantha was so anxious to help Pluti frame Juan Carlos. It also looks as though it's one more nail in the coffin as far as Helena is concerned. It looks as though she may be really ready to put aside his memory and move on.
What a rat of an abuelo Eduardo is -- telling Lalito that when he goes to live with his mother he will be the man of the house -- and he should tell Eduardo everything she does. Man to man I guess.

Ezra, thank you so much for this great recap. So Samantha and JC had more of a past than I thought. I agree with Guera about why Samantha framed JC.
I hate that Bastardo. To tell Lalito that. I hope Lalito doesn't tell him anything at all.
The women's night was nice, and Eva/JC gets some insights into himself. I like that he wanted to hire all those 100 women back. It's a shame Adri wouldn't go for it.
That's men nights out on the other hand, crazy and looney as they all are lol.
The way Eva acts sometimes I wonder if she will accidently give herself away one of these times with the slip of the tongue. She almost did with the reading of the will when she called Modesto, Papa, luckily Modesto didn't catch on. Same here with the shares Adri wanted to sell. She better watch her slips of the tongue, jus' sayin'.

I like your tongue-in-cheek style, Ezra. I think the title is clever. And I liked the line, Dishrag Mom mops and mopes. I needed the recap tonight because I was lost for significant portions of the show. I worry that it'll be my night to recap on a night when the dialogue confuses me... because it'll mean staying up to 1 am going through it line-by-line, dictionary in hand.
It was funny to see Rebeca in the company of other women. I don't know if I bought it or not. I also don't see why she thinks marrying the Putz will get her what she wants. Despite her evilness and slavish devotion to leopard prints, I have difficulty disliking her. I guess I'll be routing for redemption.
I had trouble watching Lucia put down men when she's always fawning over them in their presence. I agree with Julie- we must have missed the episode where she got hit in the head with a coconut, because at the beginning she seemed like she'd be a fun character.

Thank you, Ezra, I enjoyed reading your recap.
I'm glad to see that I didn't miss the transformation episode of Lucia. She seemed so strong and independent at the beginning.
Eduardo is back to his dastardly ways-yuck! Enough already.

I took note that Ed walked on the wet part of the floor Silvia was scrubbing. Good, realistic touch by the Director.
Lucia on the other hand is just not believable character reversal. Maybe it was a coconut on the head of the writers.
Thank you Ezra. Oh yeah, I am starting to see Pretty Boy Gentleman may be what other commenters see. He seemed bored at the stag party. And yet he was suggestive with his eyes when he started working for Helena. I loved it when they sent him off to 'go get the coffee' and the Director drew our attention to him with his iPad ready for high level assistance. !Yes!

Too bad that floor wasn't a little wetter and more slippery, Bonney!

Thanks Ezra. "Dishrag Mom mops and mopes" was one of my favorites too. Sylvia seems to have taken three steps back after the one she took to stand up to Bastardo. I hate that he's having Lalo spy on his mom.
Yes, Renato was not turned on by the pole dancers, but seemed more interested in their technique. I'm sure he will evenutally contribute to the enlightenment of the other men.
Speaking of...that was quite the bitch fest about men the ladies had. It was sad how Marcela tried to get advice about her "friend's cousin" who's husband is lacking in the foreplay department. Mr. Three Minute Man. I might call Fernando that from now on. ;)
What a shock for JC to learn he made a baby with Sam and she had an abortion!

Thanks, Ezra! I think the link to caravans is that a caravan, being a convoy, may have hangers-on who benefit from all the advance work done by the people ahead of them (scouting the trail ahead, etc.) without contributing anything themselves.
Guera, I confess, I only suggested that Samantha might be angry with JC because she had a JC Jr. It hadn't occurred to me that she would be angry with him because of an abortion - especially since she never even told him about it. How can she blame him for a decision she made entirely on her own? (Unless maybe she's going to say that he raped her, or that he told her he'd had a vasectomy, or otherwise accessed her eggs through false pretenses!)

I laughed really hard last night when Adriano gave Renato such a hard look and asked him about his hair.

Thank you for the recap, Ezra.
About Ed. At least he has really accepted that Lalo will be moving in with mom. That's a big step for Ed.
It seems that Adriano dislikes anyone new to him - Renato, Mimi, Eva when she first arrived, etc. That makes sense for a man of his age and position - he takes time to adjust to anything new.
About Sam. From what we know of former JC, it's not hard to believe. Given her nature, she probably wasn't one of his quick pick-ups. He probably had to work on her for some time, and make her believe he really cared about her. She eventually fell into his bed, and soon thereafter he disappeared from her life, just like Lucía's men. Two months later, she tried to contact him with the news, but he never returned her calls, and had his scty tell her he was out of country. You don't take calls from women you've thrown in the trash. I choose to think that that's why she couldn't tell him.

Hi Ezra. Always enjoy your style and put me down as well for a fan of Dishrag Mom mops and mopes. I'm getting tired of her sad victim-y face all the time.
I think part of Juan Caballero's continuing amends-making will be realizing how much he hurt Samantha. How dreadful to know she aborted his child after he dumped her. Grounds for regret and rancor indeed!

Thanks so much, Ezra! I love your perspective.
I thought both parties were pretty boring, but the ladies' party did at least advance the plot a little. Yeah, I think everyone should give Fernie el tres-minuto-bruto a hard time. What a toad. I also liked Eva snarking at Rebeca for not bringing anything to the party, like everyone else did.
I'm really looking forward to the wedding. Although, Santi seems to be turning things around and acting a little more decent lately. He was horrified when Fernando mentioned he might haul Kevin to a hooker. Still, I'm anticipating fireworks. Expensive, expensive fireworks.

Thanks for a great recap, Ezra!
I, too, am tired of the waa-waa Dishrag Mom moper mopper (great phrase). I guess she is taking small steps towards independence - it's hard to leave behind so many years of dishraggedness in a short time. Wasn't this actress the same one who played the mother on Dinero? She was a dishrag then as well (must be the go-to actress for those types of roles).
Maybe we'll get some more details tonight on Sam's situation with JC. I don't quite get her story with the stripper guy. Weren't they talking about an open relationship way back in the beginning of the show?

Mil, the "open relationship" was between Paola and Adriano. (And he thought he was sooooo lucky to have such a "liberated" girlfriend!)
We didn't even know Samantha way back in the beginning of the show, I don't think. There isn't much history to know. Apparently the stripper guy is her boyfriend. Back when JC was framed, one of JC's accusers was "Maximilian Montes." But it turns out that MM was really just Gino the stripper, playing the role of the fictitious Max Montes as part of the scheme that Pluto and Samantha had hatched together.
I don't know if we know how Pluto and Samantha got together to hatch this scheme in the first place, or how much Pluto knows about Samantha's backstory.

Just a late and short note to thank you, Ezra, for the clever recap. Moping and mopping is, indeed, an inspired phrase.
