Refugio Para el Amor #116 Wed 9/19/12 Oh, No, Vio, How Could You; Oh, Dear, the Cauldron is on the Back Burner, but Simmering; Ho Hum, Gagme is Steppin’ Out on Her Man; Oy Vey, El Nferno is going to El Infierno (a non-denominational location)
Recap by Anita
Las Oficinas de los Torreslanda
Lo de ayer – Rod confronts Max with the truth (according to
Roselena) about his affair and hasn’t found the right time nor the right words
to bring it up until now. Rod knows who it is, the daughter of Don
Jeronimo. He isn’t going to judge, but he wants Max to think about what
it will do to Janna once RE comes out with it and they both know that won’t be
long in coming. Janna is his adored daughter and Rodrigo can’t stand
around and let her be harmed. Max tries to protest that this matter is
strictly personal, something between me and your mother, he says and asks Rod
to stay out of it (but we can tell he’s preoccupied by the possible, nay
probable scenario with RE and the fall out).
Lo de hoy – In Luciana’s office, Selena is teaching her some
basic computer skills. She’s commended on what a quick learner she
is. Papá Claudio comes in. Selena leaves, telling her to practice,
practice, practice. CL wants to know how things are going. OK, but
she’d rather be making sketches. CL wants to know about having lunch
together. She’s hungry and ready. Where would you like to go?
Don’t know, you choose. I know just the place, says papá. Rod stops
them in the hall—looks like a pretext to me, after the warning he got from Luci
yesterday, to keep their meetings strictly about business. Linares says
they are going to lunch. Rod has a report to show Linares—later, of
course. Have a good lunch—and wishing longingly it could be he sitting
across the table from Luciana.
In the TL Master’s Bedroom
Conny is being begged by Roselena to forgive her atrocious
behavior from earlier when she tried to shame Conny about her deepening
relationship with Oscar and her two wild animals/children (by that she means
they aren’t being properly controlled). Surely she can understand that
all this has been hard on her and then this betrayal by Max. Somehow she
manages to turn “all this” around on Conny—You don’t support me the way you
should. Conny says I don’t know what you want, I’m here, that’s a sign of
support. RE begs her to stay. Conny agrees, but only until the
medical tests are completed. After that, she’s seriously considering
Oscar’s proposition. The look on RE’s face is clear—she doesn’t like the
thought of Conny being happy with Oscar, while she’s not.
Lunching at the Oficina
Oscar and Max are eating lunch al fresco under the same
umbrellas where Claudio and co. lunched yesterday; fresh flowers on the table
and everything. He tells Max about asking Conny to move in with
him. There’s not much for Max to say—except you’d better not hurt her,
she is, after all, my SIL and I care for her very much. Os assures him
that he’s very serious. He begins to list her attributes, agreeable,
pretty, sexy, we get along well, wha, don’t you think I could make her
happy? It’s not that, Max just thinks that daily routines can put an end
to love (I think he means the carnal kind). Os asks is that’s what
happened to your marriage—did you tire of it? No, Roselena is still the
most attractive and desireable woman for him, he adds kinda lamely.
Salud. (And end of conversation.)
Lunching at the Tacos de Canasta on the Corner, Inc.
Claudio and Luci eat lunch al fresco, too. Everyone is
having a good time, easygoing banter, while Fabian explains that they would
like to have a storefront, but the cost is excessive. Then Aldo appears
out of nowhere. He tries to show off that he’s the head capitalista and
(main) associate in this taco enterprise. Fabian doesn’t look too happy
with the interruption. Aldo is anxious to get a storefront. Lu
doesn’t think it’s necessary to start off with a big splash, take things
slowly. CL suggests replacing the old bici with a new one before getting
a storefront. Luci thinks it’s a good idea and also they could sell on
different corners. Aldo is feeling a little left out. CL says he’ll
stake them to the new bici or two, or even three, but Lorenzo and Fabian don’t
want a gift. CL, recovering quickly says, who’s talking about a
gift? Call it a loan and you can pay me back as the business
improves. Aldo steps in to welcome Claudio as a new associate and pumps
his hand while Lorenzo and Luci look on quizzically.
Pato is getting his therapy during lunch. He can just
hold his forearm and wrist up in control for a few seconds before it
drops. Rod comes in and watches and is happy for him. Pato gets a
bro-hug. Patricio doesn’t want anyone to know what he can do, yet.
He wants it to be a surprise to the family. That smile of Pato’s could
melt a girl’s heart.
At the Het Het Funeraria y luego luego a la Sastreria
Procopio is on the phone with the family of a probable
impending customer. With this news he’s elated and tells Theofilo that
the business is ready to expand. Another call comes in, but it’s Don A,
calling from the tailor, Don Perfecto and wants him ASAP. Theofilo stays
to watch the office, but opts for a nap. We watch as Don A is getting
measured for his wedding outfit. He tells the tailor that’s enough.
He adds that he wants a hat that will complement the color of his suit, sky
blue, like the sky above SFdA. Don Perfecto says it will make him look
younger. That’s good since my bride is quite young (una chamacona).
Either sincerely or because he wants a chisme, Don P asks about the novia age.
Don A mumbles and stumbles and it sounds as though he’s saying 33 (but actually
she’s nearer 23), no more than that. Hmm, replies Don P—she could be your
daughter. Don A replies—and you could be dead!
Coffee hour at the TL Household
It’s déjà vu all over again. Roselena is entertaining
Gala and Julie and the subject at hand is Luci and the bebé. Frankly as
much as I detest Roselena, I wish she would keep these two at arms
length. You know what they say about mob mentality. It’s easier to
commit acts of violence when there is a supportive crowd egging you on.
On the other hand, we know Roselena can work alone, if need be.
Gala speaks, hoping what she says won’t bother RE, but she’s
surprised by her complacency… Julie steps in to explain…about Luci and her
pregnancy. If she’s two months along, there’s very little time left to
take any “action.” RE says obviously you don’t know me, I’m not wasting
any time. Her strategy is to catch the fly with honey (with only a little
of the acid she can’t help spitting). [Just take a look at her behavior
with Luci yesterday cozying up with that fake smile, while unable to hide those
steely eyes.] Ni modo, she’s finding ways to gain her confidence, in
order to get close to her and her child. Gagame, meanwhile, is vocalizing
her constant obsession that La Domestica will bring forth the first born son,
while she ends up having a girl (forgive her that much, she’s living in a
machista culture, after all).
Again in Het Het
Procopio arrives (don’t know why, though, Don A is done at
the tailors). The two talk about his potranca (filly) and her…ancas
(haunches, usually on a horse)…just as Paz & Magda emerge from a store next
door. They get into the conversation. He wants to know if they’ve
heard about his upcoming nuptials. Of course, says Paz, the word has been
spreading like wildfire (un regero de pólvora). It’s obvious that Magda
is still P.O.d at Don A after 23 yrs. 9 mos. Certainly it has to be
someone from outside the pueblo since everyone here knows him. She wants
to know where Aquiles met *her.* He starts to tell her then stops.
[Ed. note: I’m sorry I’m not any better at translating the colloquialisms
they use in Het Het, especially Magda’s and Don Aquile’s. They always
sound so good. Magda says Perro de fuera—does she mean an outside dog or
does it mean something else?]
Claudio’s TL Office
Pato comes rolling in to visit Claudio. He asks about
Luciana and learns she’s already left. No, he didn’t need her for
anything, he just wanted to say good-bye to her. He’s going home—therapy
tires him out. Claudio inquires about the number of operations he’s
had. Only one, but depending on his progress, there may be more.
Right now his recuperation depends on Patience and Faith. If you don’t lose
faith, Patricio, you’ll achieve it, urges Claudio.
En el Barrio
The girls are excited about Luci’s baby. They have
arrived at Estelita’s with the bassinet and are anxious to get started making
the colchoncito, sabanitas, cobijita and Estelita will make el fondo (mattress,
sheets, blankets and underskirt). Serena wants to use her ma’s wedding
dress and veil for the encaje (the flounce around the outside, I think).
Vio et al. want to know if Luci has chosen any names yet. Well, not for a
girl. But if it’s a boy? She’s slightly embarrassed to say it’ll be
Rodrigo. A hush, but not a pall falls over the group. Luci is
probably wondering if this was the right name or the right time to mention it.
The Monochrome-hued apartment
Rod arrives home. Gala is waiting for him. He
tries to be civil. She tries to be civil. How about going to the
movies, she asks, I invite you. No, I’m too tired. Then he heads
immediately into to his Man Cave gym (saved for now) to let off some steam
while Gagame is left to stew. She sees Rod’s cell phone on the
table.
Violeta’s apartment en El Barrio
Luci and Vio enter her apartment. What started out as
harmonious chatter over baby things and showers, ends up being a big argument
over Vio’s decision to marry el viejo. Luci thinks she’ll be sorry for
the rest of her life. Vio finally admits it’s Don A.
The Luci-Violeta Conversation
V-I’m so emotional over the thought of a baby
L-You could have one of your own
V-No, Luciana, I’m not going to be a mamá
L-Don’t say that. Of course you are—just think of
having children with the man you love
V-I don’t believe in love
L-Vio, I know you. You can’t discard your illusions of
love over one deception. Tell me you’ve gotten rid of the idea of marrying
that old man.
V-I’m going to marry him
L-You may regret it the rest of your life
V-No, I don’t believe that. He’s going to give me
everything I want (and she names them—a house, a pool, servants, a cook, a car
and lots of trips) and he says he’ll give them all to me if I marry him
L-For Shame! Do you realize it’s like selling yourself?
V-It’s not important. I’m marrying because I’m
marrying
L-Are you going to tell me who it is?
V-Yes; it’s Don Aquiles
L-Don Aquiles, from the pueblo?
V-Yes; I’m going to marry Don Aquiles Trueba Taconar
L-(Luci is speechless)
Cara de impactada doesn’t cover it. Luci is furious
with Vio and launches into all of Don A’s defects, detractions,
disingenuousnesses, disconfidences (not a word, but I was on a roll) and just
plain a bad person. You left when you were very young and you didn’t see
all the things he did. Isn’t the harm he did to me and my family enough
for you. Are you just going to forget all that for your filthy
(cochino) dinero? Vio says people can change and he’s been good to
her. Luci doesn’t think so in his case. Luci can’t convince her
that she’s being selfish, not thinking of the shame it will bring Magda.
Vio is just as adamant that one has to think of oneself. And no, she doesn’t
love him.
Luci tries again. She can’t believe in marrying
without love. Well Vio does and as for her mother, being the MIL of Don A
will bring Magda many good things (oh, boy, just you wait, Ms. Violeta—a
pre-nup iron skillet from Don A’s own almacén is at the top of the list).
Luci thinks Vio is young and attractive can still find love with a man, but Vio
wants to know where---that’s a storybook ending that only exists on tv.
She looks at her career prospects and working at the Nferno is not her idea of
a good life. But, but, Don Aquiles? Yes, Don Aquiles.
Remember when you first arrived in DF trying to get away from him, I advised
you to go ahead and marry the old guy. He’d give you a good life and
treat you well? Well, I’m taking my own advice.
A cell phone rings. It’s Luci’s papá calling.
He’s downstairs to take her back to the hotel. She’ll be right
down. Vio tells Luci she’s quitting her job and NO, she’s not going to
tell her mamá ahead of time. Luci thinks it’s the least she could do,
Magda has been very worried about her. Vio will take care of things after
Don A arrives. They’ll go to the pueblo together and tell her before they
get married so it won’t be a complete surprise.
The Monochrome-hued apartment
Rod is still letting off steam. In fact,
Rod-Not-Redeemed-To-Me-Yet is steaming hot and glistenny all over.
Car-grill teeth (thanks, daisynjay) breaks my spell. What can I fix for
dinner, my love, she coos hopefully. [Excuse me? Would she really
rustle up a Boef Bourguignon if he asked, dressed in her white scuffs and
shorty lavender sleeper and robe?] Whew, Rod only wants a glass of
milk. A big argument ensues. It’s the same one we’ve heard before
about not treating her like his woman, not living like husband and wife and
she’s not going to take the humiliation any more and can she open her mouth any
wider for Rod to put his boxing glove down her throat, please? She
flounces out before he can take a crack at her and takes it out on the poor
punching bag.
Well, well, La Gagalala is steppin’ out on her man.
She’s changed into something short and tight and kind of cute. If he
won’t accompany her, she’ll go out by herself, grab a coppa, whatevva. He
says she’s crazy, it’s late and she’s pregnant. Gala doesn’t
listen. Maybe she’ll even find a man who isn’t as boring as he is.
Before she leaves, she decides she has a little unfinished business and talks
to herself about the Maldita Luciana.
The Phone Call
Luci goes back to the hotel. She wonders if she should
tell Magda about Vio’s plans. She decides she can’t betray Vio. She
gets a phone call from Rod’s cell phone number, but it’s Gala. She’s
making her hate call to Luciana. She’s telling her the same thing she
told Rod earlier—but this time with an especially virulent type of venom—you
stole Rod away from me, you ruined my life, you have no idea how much I hate
you. I’m warning you, you will be the only one to blame if anything
happens to me or this baby, you, you, Infeliz, Criada del Pueblo (this rates
three shots of tequila, I would think). Luci calls the number back.
Rodrigo answers but there’s no one there. He knows it’s Luci. She
finally answers and tells him what just happened. He searches the
apartment for Gala, but she isn’t there. She tells him to look for
her. He will.
Sleepytime at the TL House
Aldo gets Max out of bed, but finally gets Max to
listen. It’s bad enough for him to lose sleep over RE outing Max to Janna
about his lover, but now Aldo tells him that they’re after him for his
involvement with the Nferno. Aldo tells him a policeman has been sniffing
around, pretending to be a client and he found out because that tipo thought he
was just a client, too. He says they have evidence that it is a lavadero
de dinero (money laundering operation). He’s willing to do anything Tio
orders.
Sleepytime in Het Het
It’s late, but Luci calls Paz. Her mamá knows she’s
been crying and she tells Paz she just wants to come home. She doesn’t
tell her the real reason. Instead she tells Paz how much she misses them
and it looks like she’ll have to stay in the DF longer, so she and Pato won’t
be coming to Het Het soon. She wanted Namurachi to meet Pato.
She’ll talk to Claudio and maybe Namurachi can come to the DF to meet
Pato. Paz says she’ll give her the message tomorrow and see is she is
disposed to travel. After hanging up, Gala’s words come back to Luci, but
she hopes Gala doesn’t do anything foolish.
A Different Phone Call
Rod has returned to the apartment from looking for Gaga and
calls Julie. Yep, she’s there—my poor daughter is deshecha (undone), or
so they want him to think. He wants to talk to her. Julie makes
sure he hears clearly through the phone that she doesn’t want to talk to
him. Gala puts on quite a floor show. Julie will try to calm her
down and she’ll stay there for the night. Rod says he’ll come by for her
in the morning. After Julie hangs up, Gala muses to her that all the
rabia (rage) she has she’ll desquitar (get revenge, retaliate) on the
child. She is seen eating an apple, but no Snow White is she.
Miscellaneous Locations
In Het Het, Don A is getting ready to return to DF to
collect his prize..er bride. He doesn’t want anyone to know and tells
Procopio that should anyone ask, he’s out collecting rent at one of the faraway
ranchos.
En el Barrio, Violeta is telling Estelita & Ofelia that
she’s made up her mind and she’s going to marry ese viejo. Estelita wants
her to think about it. What if he doesn’t fulfill all his promises?
Easy, she’ll just pick up her stuff and come back to the city. In fact,
she’s going to go give Lastra her notice today.
At School, Janna is still mad at Boris for what happened the
day before with Lorenzo. Lula wonders when she’ll be able to forgive him,
‘cause he’s really sorry. She can’t, or won’t. Lula, half teasing,
half accusing can’t believe that she’s really into Lorenzo. Think of her
family, her mother would never accept him as a boyfriend. Janna says
she’s not going out with Lorenzo. Just look at what happened to Rodrigo
and Luciana, continues Lula. Or, what her father would think of his
little princess falling for a taquero.
Aldo is driving Max to work and reminds him of the Nferno
problem. Max calls Lastra. Lastra gets his instructions. We
are not privy to them.
At the TL Office, Pato and Luci are chatting. She
tells him about having to stay here longer than she wanted. He’s pleased
because he can have her with him longer. Luci doesn’t pick up on his
pick-up line. She had been wanting him to meet Namurachi. He’d be
delighted. Why don’t they have her come here? He’ll send the
corporate jet after her and maybe Paz, Magda and Ariche would come, too.
Rod interrupts just by coming in the office because Luci jumps up and makes a
quick exit. Dumbrod wonders if she left because he walked in.
Smartpat’s face tells him the answer.
At the TL House Kitchen, Frigida and Mati are having a funny
conversation over plastic-looking vegetables which Mati insists are nutritious
and delicious before Conny comes in wanting to know where RE is. She’s at
Gala’s apartment. Conny of course can’t believe it since she had an
appointment for one of her medical tests. Frigida fills in. Julie
called to let her know that Gala isn’t feeling well (se puso mal). With
her own creative imagination at work, she infers (correctly) that it must have
something to do with the way Rodrigo treated her. (I can't wait to read
her novel.)
At Gagala’s loft, she’s on the phone with her office, while
RE waits—sort of patiently disdainful. I’m still very weak, my baby runs
a risk. Call me, I’ll be at my loft if you need anything. I’ll try
to make it in tomorrow, but it all depends on what the doctor says. (If
this show is for RE’s benefit, I don’t think she believes a word of it.)
The Julie-Gala-Roselena Conversation
J-I don’t understand. Is this why you got married, so
at the first sign of an ailment you show up here for me to take care of you instead
of your husband in your own home? (Yep, these two brujas scripted this.)
G-Don’t mention him. His family means little to him.
(Of course she means herself mainly; the esquincle is secondary.)
J-It’s amazing, Roselena, all you did for your children to
maintain your family together (more like bound, gagged and blindfolded) and
look what Rodrigo has been capable of doing for his family.
RE-(She finally speaks and directs her comment to
Ga-trala-trala) If you think that pulling this ailing stunt will make Rodrigo
sympathetic to you, you are wasting your time. He’s not going to come and
take you in his arms and carry you off as long as Luciana is close to him,
ensconced in the corporate offices.
G-What do you want me to do?
RE-Wars are won on the battlefield (el campo de guerra) and
not hiding under your mother’s skirts.
A call from Conny breaks up RE’s directives. She’s
waiting downstairs to take RE to her latest dr. appt.
RE-I have better things to do than stand around and watch
you lick your wounds (lames tus heridas). [Ed. note—apologies again, RE
and Gala cross words right at the end, but all I could understand came from
RE…Luciana...that’s simple no?….]
Do we see a bruja split coming?
Poor, poor Rodrigo, the dumb maligned galán
Patricio and Rodrigo are still in the office after Luci up
and left and Pato is actually answering his question. Well, how do you
think Luci’s going to act after what Gala did to her (the phone call). I
wonder how long this is going to last, thinks Rod. Wise old Patricio
says, this is only the beginning. Can you imagine how Gala is going to
react with the birth of Luciana’s baby? Imagine how she’s going to react
if it is a boy? (Me thinks this is the Oracle of Delphi speaking through Pato.)
Rod dreamily repeats, a boy—my child with Luciana.
Vocabulario
Una chamacona = a play on the word chamaco, a child
Potranca = filly
Ancas = haunches, usually on a horse
Un regero de pólvora = spread like wildfire or lightning
(lit. regero=hose; pólvora=dust)
Cochino = a male pig; in this case your filthy, nasty, dirty
money
Deshecho/a = undone
Desquitar = get revenge, to retaliate
Ponerse mal = get sick, not feel well; any of those (it’s a
reflexive verb - lit. put her/himself bad)
Campo de guerra or could be campo de batalla = battlefield
Lamar = to lick (RE said mientras tu lames tus heridas)
Avances:
Luci tells Magda (who apparently has come to DF) that the
man Vio is getting ready to marry is Don A. Gala tries another tactic- a crisis with her pregnancy.

Fabulous recap Anita! And great vocab too.
I so love when Rosa gives Gala a verbal slap down. :) You're right about the mob mentality with these three, but Rosa likes to work sola. I don't like that she already has a "plan", but if she thinks Luci is going to fall for the "nice" act, then she really is crazy.
I guess Rod forgot to go pick Gala up from her mother's that morning like he said he would...oops! I'm sure the first thing on his mind was getting to work so that he could stalk/see Luci. Too bad she didn't want to see him, or be stalked by him or his WIFE.
I am so glad that Luci gave Vio a piece of her mind about this stupid Aquiles plan, and that tomorrow she spills to the mamas. No way should she keep that secret for Vio. We're in for some fireworks!

Anita-wonderful, wonderful recap. Love the way you and Judy always put vocabulary and dichoes at the end.
Ah, Rod the Bod. That Gagme is hard to live with. He took all his frustrations out on that punching bag, and it still didn't look like enough.
I hated the bruja convention. I fear for Luci's bebe every day. I am glad she is staying in a hotel near Claudio. Ya know if Rosa thinks she can pull one over on Luci, she is sadly mistaken. Luci is so wise to her.
Loving the Pato and Luci relationship and Claudio and Pato are alot alike. I really like how Claudio and Pato interacted. If only Rod would see how wonderful Claudio is.
I get the feeling there is an anvil in Lastra's future along with Max. I wonder how much longer Marcial is going to be investigating Inferno and does he know yet that Max is the owner? And the money laundering. This will be an interesting story when it comes out, but I think it will be a long time coming.
Vio is really hard headed. I know Marcial hurt her pretty badly, but to marry an old man she doesn't love for money, will not solve her problems. She will be very unhappy, never mind this guy is her papa. Wait until Vio finds out. I wonder what she will think then? This love of money from her is disturbing. This is a very yucky storyline. I just hope Vio doesn't marry him, oy vey.
Those people in the hood are so sweet, love what they are doing for Luci. I think the boy name Rodrigo just popped out, but I think she had been thinking about it.
Lula ought to just claim Boris and be done with it. I really think Hanna needs to dump Boris like yesterday.
Gagme is just on my last nerve. I guess she never heard of you get more reaction from honey than from vinegar you spew everywhere. When is faked the pain before, Rod was right there taking care of her. He may not love her, but I think he really loves that bebe. He would do anything to protect it. If she weren't pregnant I don't think he would have cared less if she went out partying till the cows come home. He really isn't concerned for her, it's just his baby.

Mads- I hope that Hannah means what she says about being done with Boris. She tried to fix Lula and Boris up originally, remember? He doesn't want Lula. Now Lula is being a frienemy to Hannah and causing trouble in Hannah's romantic life whenever she sees an opportunity- wether it's Boris or Lorenzo, she always finds a way to get a snide comment in. Hannah needs to dump her too.
Vivi- I remember about Lula and Boris and you are right about Boris not wanting Lula. The funny thing is Lula and Boris are much more of a fit than Hannah and Boris. I think Hannah is more of a fit with Lorenzo, rich or poor doesn't matter. And you are right, Lula is indeed Hanna's frienemy. She likes to cause trouble between Boris and Hanna all the time. I just hope Hanna finally means what she says. :)
OMG! When in the hell are these people going to learn that it does NO good to keep secrets. Luci who has been blasted out of her pot painting life by them is now going to keep silent about Don A. I could have slapped her and given Vi a couple as well for this complete character turn around.
Like the developing relationship or a least respect between Claudio and Pato, Luci's two champions.Boy those folks in Het Het have come a long way from taking rickety old buses, now private jets are sent for them.
So Aldo finally spilled the frijoles about the cop. Now I wonder what will happen to Marcial and if it will happen while Vi is still working at Inferno. Big drive by coming up???
The three Bruges don't seem to be on the same page anymore. I guess the top dog is tired of their
r whining and not taking action although she did approve of the Ob?gyn switch thinking it was clever.
Lula is definitely a Gagme in training right down to the snotty comments. Unfortunately she is right the TL;s are certainly not going to approve of a drop out as a companion for their princess. On the other hand they are so busy with all the rest of their intrigues and plots they may not notice unless Aldo blabs. I can see that Boris and Lula's time on the novela has just about come to and end and good riddance.
How quick of Pato to think of Gagme's reaction if Luci has a boy and how the Dumbass apparently never gave it a thought. I swear i think he's been hit in the head by that heavy bag in his gym a couple of times.
So Conny caves yet again. She thinks she is doing Rosa a favor by sticking around till the tests are over, you know those tests Rosa has no intention of ever having. Conny disappointed me.
Like the developing relationship or a least respect between Claudio and Pato, Luci's two champions.Boy those folks in Het Het have come a long way from taking rickety old buses, now private jets are sent for them.
So Aldo finally spilled the frijoles about the cop. Now I wonder what will happen to Marcial and if it will happen while Vi is still working at Inferno. Big drive by coming up???
The three Bruges don't seem to be on the same page anymore. I guess the top dog is tired of their
r whining and not taking action although she did approve of the Ob?gyn switch thinking it was clever.
Lula is definitely a Gagme in training right down to the snotty comments. Unfortunately she is right the TL;s are certainly not going to approve of a drop out as a companion for their princess. On the other hand they are so busy with all the rest of their intrigues and plots they may not notice unless Aldo blabs. I can see that Boris and Lula's time on the novela has just about come to and end and good riddance.

Thanks for another wonderful recap Vivi. So appreciate the verbatim translations. I was so tired last night, I was just not concentrating.
Felt like getting my own punching bag last night to take out my frustrations with some of these folks. WTH is Vio been smoking? Her reasoning is so flawed - C'mon. Don A is not THAT wealthy for what she thinks she'll get, she does realize she would be living back in Het Het? Couple good punches there. All over Lemon Sucker--cripes a punch just because he isn't even worth getting worked up for.
Gagme, well frankly, I'm with Rod there. You need a full workout to get over her antics. What did she accomplish with the call? Kudos to Luce--I loved that she fessed up and told Rod exactly what happened.
The witches conference ( where was the cauldron--and HORRORS, The Champagne Queen with no glass in her hand?? Early morning or no, thought she had one permanently attached at home.) I couldn't appreciate Rosa's put down of Car-grill because it serves just to encourage Every Dentist's Dream to get busy with more manipulations.
Punch for each of them.
I don't like Luce alone in that hotel room, much prefer her back in the pueblo, but brava to Pato of thinking of bringing everyone in. (For all Rod's mooning and sighing, how come he doesn't think of things like that for his supposed love? Stalker--couple punches to him. )
Conie Connie Connie...a punch because you do NOT need to live in that mausoleum just to take R to her doc appointments. Argh
And Aldo--a big punch for being an ass. Such a Jerk on the with the gang at the corner. And not sure about his fessing up to Max. He may think he's getting on Uncle's good side, but this could prove a bad move ( he just admitted to a crook he knows his scheme.)

Daisynjay- It was Anita who wrote this wonderful recap. I just posted, but flattered you think it's me. :)
I love your punches list. I'd prefer slaps, but the sentiment is still the same.

I'll agree with everyone else that the recap was amazing Anita. As usual. The title had me laughing away.
My favorite line of many was: "(Me thinks this is the Oracle of Delphi speaking through Pato.)". The vocabulary was sensational.
Vio is defiant. At this point, the only thing that will have her canceling the wedding is finding out that DA is her father. Which should happen mercifully soon, we hope. And yes Vivi, as Magda is involved, we KNOW fireworks are in the works for sure!!
Madelaine, yes, Hanna needs to dump Boris and pick up with the loathsome leftover.
daisy: "Gagme, well frankly, I'm with Rod there. You need a full workout to get over her antics" had me nodding in vigorous agreement.
I had high hopes for Aldo but he continues to try and fast track taking credit where none is due: "He tries to show off that he’s the head capitalista and (main) associate in this taco enterprise. Fabian doesn’t look too happy with the interruption". Me neither.
Thanks again Anita!

Diana- I haven't totally given up on Aldo yet. There are a few of our young characters who seem to only learn the hard way. He is one of them. So are Vio and Vicky. Vio is about to have a huge anvil dropped on her, and let's hope this brings her back to herself, instead of sending her further down a path of bitterness and bad choices.
Great work, Anita.
I'm now waiting for the catfight that's brewing between Gagme and Rosaloca. Who else thinks that the latter's first reality check will finally be Julie's greed?
Connie needs to realize that she will have to hogtie Rosaloca if she wants to get her to a shrink.
While Rod should not be involved in this, I don't think his talking to Max was wrong here. Max needs to shut his wife's foul mouth about his affair. She will try to blackmail him about this but there is no good reason to tell Jana if everyone else is willing to keep this from her. And Jana should go away to college.

Great recap.
Keep wondering when cabeza caliente Rod is going to snap his lego into place. I cannot imagine any place on earth that Rod and Luci could live together without Rod getting jealous and going ballistic at the first person to talk with Luci. He continues to stalk her for the chance meeting, to do what insult her and slobber his jealousy. And, his relationship with braying Gagme. Dear Lord how much longer before his light bulb comes on and realizes that wait I don't have to be married to this hate fest.
Conny again proved in this TN, if you say you are going to do something you won't.
ALdo is playing a masterful game but don't think he an Vicki will escape from Max unscathed.
One more time CL. Luci is het het. Stop this be the daughter I want you to be and let her live her life.
Violet, I'm on your side but honey "you're lookin' for love in all the wrong places. If $ is your thing, then get one that is rich and YOUNG. Not old and who's your daddy.

Anita, I believe Magda said 'perro que fuera' (which is a reshuffle of responding 'ni que fuera perro/a') to Don A's wondering if Magda is jealous since she was doing a lot of questioning about his fiancee.
the other funny part of that was that when Magda said that the girl had to be from outside since all the women in town knew DonA too much. Procopio responded 'well, except Lucha!' to which DonA said Lucha was not 'de mi peso' (a woman of my measure/taste)...
back to reading your fab recap.

Anita, another gem of a recap. loved the humor injection all over.
Some of my favs from your recap:
(not a word, but I was on a roll) … I guess all of us recappers come up with our own words every now and then…
She is seen eating an apple, but no Snow White is she.
About Frigida: (I can't wait to read her novel.) ROFLOL!!
Imagine how she’s going to react if it is a boy?
Rod dreamily repeats, a boy—my child with Luciana.
Did you check out Rod’s face of lala-land and Pato’s noticing it and getting sad?
Btw, it is ‘reguero’ not ‘regero’… and a better translation would be a spill/pile.

Madelaine, ‘The bruja convention’… I will need to steal that term soon…
Btw, Madelaine, I agree that Rod was only worried for the baby and not for Gala and if she were not pregnant he would have given her money to go have fun and off his face. But now with Luci letting him know about Gala’s phone call and threat, he will care not only about the baby but also that nothing happens to the baby so Gala will not take it on Luci.
Vivi, totally agree that Hanah has to dump both Boris and Lula… go hang out with Melissa and even Selene and Ofelia.
Decie, ITA about loving the relationship between Claudio and Pato. And also about the ladies at Het Het suddenly upgrading their transportation protocol from ‘camion’ to private jets. … regarding Marcial.. Big drive by coming up??? Lol!~ a la Godfather?
Daisynjay, I am with you that DonA is not as rich as Vio thinks…
Grill teeth = Every Dentist dream … ROFLOL! Good one!
Love the punches list idea… maybe we should come up with punches and high fives list at every episode.
Vivi, agree that some of the yung ones here like Vio, Aldo and Vicky learn the wrong way.
Anon, agree that Rod needs to just move out of the apt. Don’t have to stay married to Grill teeth truck horn only because she is expecting your baby, but if she uses the baby wellbeing to keep him on a leash, he asked for that… Also agree on CL needs to let Luci be Luci and chose her life.

Thank you mucho for all the corrections and additions.
Martai--About the u in reguero, I only looked up regar and figured regero was the noun (forgot it would be a soft g). Your phrasing works better with polvora, which on second look is defined as gunpowder or fireworks, which we will surely get when Magda confronts Don A. (Can you tell my dictionary is chained to my wrist?)
We have to get through two bombshells going off--the Vio/DA marriage and the Nferno meltdown--then it will have to be meses despues for Luci and Gala. Can't wait to see their babybumps. Luci has *got* to go back to Het Het where it is safe and her pots are waiting. That should make our three brujas stand out like sore thumbs if they personally try to reach Luci there.
On the other hand, RE isn't above paying someone to do dirty work (at the cemetery she spend a wad of dough), but infantacide is something a lot of men she could buy would think twice about (hopefully). Or she could have someone push Luci off one of those Het Het cliffs, but getting her out of Paz' house and her pots would be hard. It will also be hard to poison her there, they all eat the same food and drink the same liquids. A shooting accident? Any other ideas--not that I want to give RE any of them.
Anon@9:05--You are right! Hot Rod Bod is looking less and less desirable to me as a life partner. Where could they be happy? It's like the Harrison Ford/Kelly McGillis quandry in Witness. He couldn't live in her world and she couldn't live in his.
I think Janna and Lorenzo face the same issue, although Janna and Melissa both seem very comfortable associating with Luci and her Barrio "family" and Lor is becoming a city boy. Maybe Max & RE can't accept him without an education, but there are smart, enterprising young people who can make good without a college education (Aldo excepted), when they are in the right place at the right time. The boys could end up franchising their Taco Bikes and going IPO.

A Punch list would be fun. Marta has got us started.
Mads--Remember when we did Mr. Inappropriate in CME? We had so many of them going to the same persons (Augustin & Alvaro) that we added women and gave up when Fina cornered the market (until Blanca came along).

Well, if we go with a punch list, I would suggest leaving the perennial favorite, Grill Teeth, out of the running. Face it, we are going to want to punch the living daylights out of her on a daily basis. Heck, even Rosa is more subtle some days.
Gagme can be immediately entered into the Punchees Hall of Fame.

Wonderful recap Anita, very detailed and observant...laughed every time you announced Monochromed Hued Apartment...yikes, what a depressing place!... brown on brown on brown on beige. Also got a kick out of "deja vu all over again". We'' be getting a lot of that for sure.
Thanks Marta for explaining "perro de fuera"...like Anita, I could not figure that out.
Vocabulary was just excellent...and again your eye for detail is amazing

NO, NO, NO, Please NO. It can't/mustn't end by Thanksgiving. I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this novela, the story line, cast and crew, Het Het, everything. I have become addicted to it. Please don't end! After the BIG build-up of some other novelas, I haven't been able to wrap myself around them like I have with this one. I think that when it ends, I will probably go into withdrawals and have to check myself into a rehab clinic.

Gringo, LOL! That's a compliment to the writers that they have been able to keep a very simple story interesting beyond 100 episodes.
Question for all the telenovela experts---Is Jessica Coch always cast in an argry, mean spirited, loser, villian role? She is not misses nice gal over in Abismo either.

Gringo--So far, yes. But I've only seen her in Mi Pecado, CME and this one.
According to Wikipedia, most of her roles have been as an antagonista. Someone earlier said she's probably typecast now. It has to be the mouth and the teeth, although Julia Roberts can do mouth and teeth, too.

Can't help but think that when Magda's big reveal comes it won't be as welcome or as easy as Paz's was. Don A shows no indication of ever having wanted or even liking children. He treats women abominably and yuck all he is thinking is getting Vi into bed. Shiver of revulsion!
Poor Vi has gone off the deep end. She was actually unpleasant last night and she is not listening to anyone. She is in for one grotesque shock. She thinks she can squeeze Don A for what he and she think is big bucks and then hustle back to the DF. Now she is going to throw over her job and with her newest attitude adjustment probably burn all her bridges with Lastra only to soon discover he dream money bags is her loathsome father. Ergo no big bucks sugar daddy and no job even in a dive.
We still have no idea what Max's instructions were so Macial may or may not be in for a beat down or worse. The thing I find refreshing in this novel is the absence of a high body count. So far as i know there is only been one. In the prior version there had already been four with more to come. I've always thought killing off characters was lazy writing.
Try as I might i just can't warm up to Aldo. He has some of Rosa's feelings of exaggerated self importance. His behavior on the corner with the Barrio Boys and Claudio was cringe inducing. I'm pretty sure Claudio and Fabian see through him but Lor still has some of his Het Het naiveté and believes in him.
I agree that Max needs to tell Rosa to STF up about his affair. He should warn her that while it might have the affect of destroying Jana admiration and love for her, deliberating hurting her own daughter to spite him is low class and could/should rebound on her. The again Rosa has no boundaries and apparently never learned that something should be between a husband and wife only.

Anita, what a great recap, enjoyed it so much.
I have no idea what Gala has in store for Luci. Two TNs that I know of had someone give the girl poison, twice in Eva Luna. Oh wait, that wasn't poison in Lo Que No Podia Amor that was a snake.
Luci should not only stay out of the Torreslanda's sight, she should hide out 'till well after that baby is born. Of course it is going to be a boy they gave it away by having Luci name it.

Anita,
Gardino Paz's hubby died at the beginning aided along by Don A. That set in motion the who is Rosa Torres and all the rest of the story.
While I'm not a fan of the convenient death Gagme, Lastra and Julie would be high on my hit list and if Aldo doesn't shape up him as well.

Wow, I totally missed that episode which must have been the first.
What I have noticed that every TN has in common: about 3 people if you put them in a car and drive them off a cliff everything would be fine, and indeed, you would have no story.
If you got rid of just Gala and Rosaelina alone I think everyone would calm down. Julie on her own-I think she is not powerful enough to accomplish anything-just send her away on a trip to Italy; she'll meet some dude and never come back.

Decie--I remember Galdino dying, but wasn't it a heart attack or something? I know he was stressed out because of Don A squeezing him for "the money or your daughter" gambit, but it's not quite like putting a pillow over a face (a la MEPS) or any of Fina's in CME or Marcela's in Eva Luna body counts, which were direct "hits."
But I'll take one death over none. It's still a very "lively" telenovela and I hope the writers keep it that way.
