Abismo de pasión #148 10/15/12
RECAP BY CATHYX
Senior writer Fluffy, his son Fluffy Jr, and the rest of the monkeys have worked up a doozy of an episode tonight. Since they have no sense of how humans react and behave, being simians after all, they bring us some outrageous scenes that make little sense to us. So if you put your beanies on and watch this through the eyes of an ape, it will all fall into place.
Thelma and Louise go to La Quinta. When Carmina opens the door, they want to know why she killed Lupe.

Senior writer Fluffy, his son Fluffy Jr, and the rest of the monkeys have worked up a doozy of an episode tonight. Since they have no sense of how humans react and behave, being simians after all, they bring us some outrageous scenes that make little sense to us. So if you put your beanies on and watch this through the eyes of an ape, it will all fall into place.
Fluffyʼs show notes:
-14 more episodes to go.
-Ideas on how to stretch this out. 1.Kill off every character in the show one at a time. 2.Introduce new characters. 3. repeat old story lines.
-Let Fluffy Jr. write some scenes and dialog. Give him a minor character, probably will give him Horacio.
-Plan el gran finale party. Put Mrs. Fluffy on that job. Televisa bosses love her parties. Have her provide Tostachos® to please the advertisers.-14 more episodes to go.

-Let Fluffy Jr. write some scenes and dialog. Give him a minor character, probably will give him Horacio.
From last episode,Cemetery- Lupe is speaking in the voice of doom to Carmina, but who would have guessed that it was his own doom that occurs. After whispering sweet nothings into her ear, Lupe gets stabbed in the back by Carmina, literally. She is in shock after what she just did (youʼd think after her third killing she wouldnʼt be shocked any more), and Gabino arrives to wipe off all fingerprints and to get her away. They get away just in time for Fluffy Jr. to have Horacio come to the scene, pick up the knife so that his fingerprints are all over it, then drop it and tell the ex-padre to forgive him but he couldnʼt do anything for him, and runs away. Fluffy forgot to talk to his son about the uniqueness of human fingerprints.
Elisa asks Lucio why he thought that she would ever go along with the idea of investing in Damianʼs business. He wants her to think about it, itʼs at a point of bankruptcy and would be a good investment. No, no, no she says. She reminds him sheʼs supposed to meet with Lupe at the cemetery.
As Elisa leaves Lucio, she runs into Carito. Fluffy has the two women talking right on the street in front of Lucioʼs house where Carmina or Gabino could see them. Elisa asks how the meeting with Carmina went. She tells her it went fabulously and everything is moving along.
Carito stops in to see Lucio. Lucio is talking to Damian on the phone telling him that he hasnʼt convinced Elisa yet but to not give up hope. Heʼll keep on

Carito stops in to see Lucio. Lucio is talking to Damian on the phone telling him that he hasnʼt convinced Elisa yet but to not give up hope. Heʼll keep on
trying. Damian reminds Lucio that Elisa is a strong woman and will stick to her guns. Dam finds out that Elisa is going to the cemetery and wants to talk to her there. Carito comes in and they talk about the meeting with Carmina. Maru then arrives, gets the wrong impression and leaves. Lucio doesnʼt get it and Carito has to inform him that sheʼs jealous.
Horacio is back at his hut freaking out and cursing his bad luck. He doesnʼt want to risk exposing himself to the police.
Lupe is lying propped up on a grave stone praying with his last breaths.
Dam catches up with Elisa at the cemetery and tells her heʼs worried about the bankruptcy of his company and how he feels itʼs his fault. She says itʼs not his fault, but sheʼs not going to help him either.
Horacio comes back to Lupe and tells Lupe that heʼs lost a lot of blood. He doesnʼt know what to do to stop the bleeding but he canʼt take him to the hospital and risk someone seeing him. He runs off when he sees Dam and Elisa approaching.
As they walk further into the cemetery, Dam and Elisa finally see Lupe laying there and go toward him. They see the blood and wonder what happened. Fluffy has them crying over Lupe instead of seeking help, like normal humans would do. Lupe comes to and says their names instead of the name of who stabbed him, like a normal human would do. Dam and Elisa sit by and Lupe has only enough breath left to say mi Gael and a few Dios Mios, and that Dam and Elisaʼs love is the only thing that can overcome the bad things happening, but doesnʼt think to say Carmina knifed him, but thatʼs because Fluffy doesnʼt want the killer revealed yet. There are 14 more episodes to go and if Carmina were named now, the show could end tomorrow. So Lupe spends his last breath naming his loved ones instead. Thereʼs dissension among the rest of the monkey writers, they are unhappy about this scene. Theyʼve watched enough CSI shows to be certain that humans would actually seek help under these circumstances and call for an ambulance. Fluffy concedes and Elisa shouts “Ayuda, Ayuda”. The monkeys donʼt understand that this isnʼt actually how humans call for an ambulance, but since Fluffy is a bit technologically challenged and doesnʼt know about the existence of cell phones (or computers), we have to settle for this. And with no one else in hearing distance, Lupe dies, or at least Damian declares that itʼs too late, even without checking his pulse to make sure.
We go back to the beautiful beaches of Cancun where Gael is being miserable on his honeymoon. Paloma is looking very not pregnant in her teeny bikini and is being playful. Mr. stick-in-the-mud wants nothing to do with her or her stoopid fun. Paloma just doesnʼt understand what is wrong with Gael and why he wonʼt respond positively to her. The instructions on how to trap your man stopped after getting your man. It said nothing about how to keep him. He tells her for the millionth time that he doesnʼt feel that way toward her, but Fluffy and the monkeys also watch every episode of ʻThe Bachelorʼ and

He tells her for the millionth time that he doesnʼt feel that way toward her, but Fluffy and the monkeys also watch every episode of ʻThe Bachelorʼ and
think all human women will just keep trying, no matter how many times sheʼs turned down.
Begonia runs into some friends at a restaurant. She gets a dose of schadenfreude when she attempts to join them but they tell her they donʼt want anything to do with a person of her low caliber who had any involvement with a killer. She is shocked.
It is now nighttime and Doc and Enrique are talking. Doc wants to know why he didnʼt tell him that Begonia was taken to the police station today. He says that they just wanted to talk to her about what she might know about Paoloʼs death and they didnʼt keep her there. Doc tells Enrique that Begonia threatened to kill Paolo once and maybe she did do it. Enrique says thatʼs crazy but the whole town is now gossiping about her.
While Gael is sitting on the beach in the dark thinking about the time he proposed to Elisa and how happy he was, Paloma takes a deep breath and fingers her amulet. Sheʼs ready to try again. Those persistent monkeys!
Dam and Lucio arrive at casa Arango mumbling about how surprised and sad they are about what happened to Lupe. Who could have killed him and why? They have no clues. They are greeted by Antonia and she wants to know what happened. Dam tells her that Lupe is dead. They want to give the news to Alfonsina, but they are aware that she is delicate and theyʼre not sure how the news would affect her health. Since monkeys have no concept of passing time, they donʼt think it odd to have those close to the deceased not be informed of the death until hours later, even Lupeʼs very own sister or Gael.
Gael comes back to the hotel room. Here she goes. Paloma takes his hand and leads him to the bed. She wants his hugs and kisses and doesnʼt want to be alone.
Gabino is amazed that Carmina could be so relaxed and calm after what she just did, in broad daylight, no less. She says it was just another day at the office. She reminds him of the people he had a hand in eliminating, naming them all. Oh man, he is so turned on by her right now.
Alfonsina wakes to see Horacio in her bedroom watching her. She yells at him for being there. He holds up his still bloody hand. Letʼs see, the murder happened around 4pm and itʼs well into the middle of the night and his hand still has wet blood on it. Fluffy Jr?!? You need to work on that concept of time before your dad lets you have anymore scenes. He repeats the only line that Fluffy Jr gave him; that he couldnʼt do anything about what happened. Again, Fluffy Jr, your dad needs to work on your dialog skills with you. Alfie doesnʼt understand. He tells her that Lupe is dead.
Elisa has now told Delores about Lupeʼs death. Delores is shocked too. Elisa brings the conversation back to herself and says that everyone in her life that sheʼs close to dies. She starts naming half the characters in this TN who are now dead. There is one common element to all these dead people, Elisa. You. I always wondered about Jessica

Fletcher of ʻMurder She Wroteʼ. She was always around when someone showed up dead. Was it just a coincidence? Anyway, Lucky for us the monkeys have been having weekly math lessons so Lola starts putting 2 and 2 together and comes up with the correct answer. Lola knows who hated Lupe more than anyone. Thank goodness there is one bright person in La Ermita who can add. She tells Elisa that it had to be Carmina. She remembers that Padre told Lola once that he suspected Carmina to have killed Augusto. Elisa is impactada.
Elisa says she is going to confront Carmina. No really, the monkeys have decided to have Elisa confront a person they have determined to be a cold blooded killer. And Lola decides to join her.
We go back to Alf and Horacio. She doesʼt want to believe him. He just keeps repeating his one line that he couldnʼt do anything about it. Antonia walks in and sees Horacio. She screams and he leaves. Alf starts to cry that Lupe is dead.
Dam and Lucio decide to go to the church and talk to the new Padre instead of telling Alfonsina. I donʼt blame them.
Back in Cancun, Paloma is still pleading and Gael realizes how pathetic Paloma has become and finally gives in, except the phone rings and interrupts them. Paloma curses her luck. There will be no marriage consummation on this honeymoon. Dam is calling to tell him he has some bad news. Gael shouts Elisaʼs name, but Dam tells him itʼs not always about her, itʼs about Lupe this time, and heʼs dead.

Thanks, cathy, for this stellar, hilarious recap, and thanks, Fluffy Jr., for an entertaining episode.
I think my favorite line came from Gabino. Carmina had just murdered (ex)Padre Lupe, a near saint, and Gabino advised her to pray that no one saw her. Oh yes, I'm sure that her prayers are a very high priority with God.
I can't decide who is more pathetic, Gael or Paloma.

I am crushed. I wanted to see Guadalupe live to become a padre of the usual kind. He did not deserve this, but we have a group of writers who believe in sacrificial lambs.

Cathy- How do you do it? Each recap is more hilarious than the last. The monkeys were really working overtime last night. Thanks for show us the inner workings of their world. LOL!
Oh cathyx, what a trooper sitting thru this whole episode and attempting to at least make some humor out of it. Wonderful.
I have to say as a lover of all things primate,I give Fluffy and Junior a pass. Maybe they were actually on vacation themselves and some resident underwater amoebas who have never seen a TV, let alone a human, decided to give this thing a go. What horrendous dreck. It's not even campy.
C'mon, Padre's dying words wouldn't include his killer. No way Jose. Where was the screaming for help, police, oh, never mind. This is some alternate universe where that sort of logical behavior would not cross anyone's delusional mind.
Pathetic is sooooo, well pathetic. So to her, the only way to a man's heart if just having hot monkey sex ( my apologies to Fluffy and Jr. )and if that doesn't make him see hearts and bluebirds you're not in love. Ramona really blew it on this girl. we can assume no sex ed was taught in La Ermita schools.
Gab and Carmina...at least someone is having HMS ( again sorry Fluffy). Just sad that murder is their aphrodisiac.
And OF COURSE, as I thought we would, we got to listen to Elisa wax poetic about how everything that happens, including poor Padre, is all about her. Heck, if I was Lolita I would have made my apologies, grabbed Braulio and bid that Boobette and the rest of La Ermita adieu. That girl is poison.
Stooopppidd. 14 more episodes? OMG, where's the tequila?

Thanks so much Cathyx, especially the part about what normal humans would do, that had me in stitches. I wonder how the actors can play these roles without wanting to throw-up. Proof of their professionalism that they can act valiantly on through these horrible scripts. Kudos to them and to you too Cathyx.

Oh, did forget to mention I kinda got into watching Begonia getting a taste of her own medicine. let's see, what other cliches apply here" " What goes around comes around" or even better "Paybacks a bitch".
Muchísimas gracias, Cathy. I must say, these shenanigans make a lot more sense when viewed through the lens of the monkey writers' room. I assume our poor Fluffy y familia are drinking the same lead- and mercury-laden water as the residents of La Ermita.
I was so mad at exPadre Loopy while he was lounging there dying. Why didn't he write "Carmina did it" in that nice soft dirt? Why would he waste his last words babbling about Elisa's and Damian's stupid dysfunctional "love", like anyone cares? What a terrible way for our favorite theatrical theologian to go out. And he didn't even get a stylish olde-tymey greeting on the other side.
Elisa is an idiot to confront Carmeana, but really a lot of the town's problems would be solved if Elisa died. C'mon, Elisa, take one for the greater good.

Cathy, thank you for your stupendous recap of this stupidest episode. Gah! I was so frustrated last night by all the ridiculous behavior that I don't need to mention because you already did. At least now I know WHY Lupe didn't spill his guts (oops, poor choice of words) and all Dam and Elisa could manage to do was squeak out a couple of "Ayudas". It was poor script mentoring to Fluffy Jr. Well I thank you and I thank him too for a very entertaining evening and now morning.
That Horacio has got to be the stupidest criminal ever. I really had a good laugh at his manhandling of the knife and then showing his bloody palm to Alfonsina. I think Fluffy Jr. has missed his calling and should be writing for comedy.
I'm a little worried about Delores being the one to put 2+2 together. Couldn't this make her Carmina's #1 target? I agree with Julia, Elisa should sacrifice herself so no more of our favorite characters get the knife. Or the gun. Or the big stick and drowning.
Thanks again Cathy, you rock!

Cathy, thank you for handling this the only logical way - with great humor. Your comments about the writing were spot on (and hilarious).
UA, I am with you that Lupe's murder was almost unbearable...
And Cathy, I really cringed at Horacio's lack of sense: "...Horacio come to the scene, pick up the knife so that his fingerprints are all over it, then drop it and tell the ex-padre to forgive him but he couldnʼt do anything for him, and runs away"...And here I thought Horacio was going to be the one to save Lolita and/or Elisa.
Carlos, I think Paloma is the more pathetic. Gael is the more loathsome. So kind of him to continue to be so stern with Paloma, rebuffing any overtures for swimming, having fun. Not surprising though to see little Gael (and I do mean little game enough for sex. This couple has no chance at all.
Let's see what horrors tonight brings.

One thing Fluffy and staff could have done but didn't regarding Fr. Lupe. When Damian came to the new Padre to ask about funeral arrangement, the new Padre could have said: "No can do. Ex-Fr. Lupe was excommunicated because he broke the confessional seal. He cannot have a funeral mass in a church or interred in consecrated ground! Only God knows if Fr. Lupe made a perfect act of contrition before he died and is in heaven. But we morals must go by canon law. The bishop says ' no service'."

Thanks for the great comments. This episode was so ridiculous on so many levels. The worst being Lupe not naming who killed him. I mean really, that's insane.
Diana, I think we get a pass tonight on Abysmal thanks to soccer. So we get two days to cogitate (or not) the dreadful demise of our favorite ex-padre.
Anon, no funeral mass? And deny La Ermita their big party? Oh, it would be too, too cruel.
daisynjay, like you I had a good laugh at Begona's comeuppance.

Another gem Miss Cathy. And not like the writers did you any favors.
My favorite line was "Thelma and Louise go to La Quinta".
Also noted, as you did, how Elisa made everything about her. And yet Padre Lupe wants Elisa and Damian to mate and reproduce...and those were his precious1750 last words!
I did rather enjoy hearing him recite Psalm 23 in Spanish "El Señor es mi pastor..." It's always read at funerals so I guess he was seeing himself out, before the gruesome twosome arrived.
Pretty soon there'll be no one left in la Ermita but the distasteful. Yuck!
But thanks for a valiant, y muy gracisoso effort, Cathy.

Thanks for the recap! Well...RIP Lupe.
I wonder why Horacio would even risk getting his hands dirty in this situation and he blew his cover when he went to see Alfie.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised when Dam calls Gael that Gael thought it was about Elisa. That's all he cares about. I'm surprised though at the developing situation with him and Paloma, it's getting too much.
Can't wait to see Elisa give Carmina a piece of her mind!

Great job, Cathy! Dare I say this is your best recap yet? And out of the WORST episode. I've never FF'ded more in my life.
Loved Fluffy, Jr. and his having no sense of time, Thelma and Louise...CSI, Murder She Wrote and The Bachelor references ALL HYSTERICAL!!!
Isn't it amazing how much more sense this show makes when we see it through the eyes of the monkey writers? I'm no longer frustrated!
I can't even watch Paloma and Gael. He's an a** and she is, well, pathetic. For GODSSAKES, play just a little hard to get. Or storm off--tell him you're done with him. That'd get him running back with all his "Let me be part of the baby's life! Do it for the baby!" OMG, ITA with Carlos--who is more pathetic?!
Who wants to take bets that SOMEONE has a baby named either Lupe or Estefenia by the end of this TN!?
Thanks, Cathy!

Hmmm...not sure how 1750 got into Lupe's "last words" but really, the psalm is a lot shorter than that. I too was hoping to see a shot of Padre Lupe being ushered in to the mansions of the Lord. Maybe next episode.
cathyx - you have outdone yourself with this "recrap". Thank you! And yes, there is nothing worse than "lather, rinse, repeat" to a plot.
My favorite recapper's line--> "(Carmina) She says it was just another day at the office." BwaHahahahahahaha.
I am so glad I do not live in La Ermita. IF you receive a mortal wound, there's nothing like having the loved ones sitting by, holding your hand, watching you die and not even running for help. In their defense, maybe the cemetery is in the middle of nowhere. We know there is no cellphone coverage, so all residents live there at their own risk. Gah.
I wanted to throw something at my TV because Lupe did not even bother to whisper "Carmina did this!" Gimmeabreak!
And Horacio.... I've said it before and I'll say it again. He looks and thinks like someone terribly inbred. What a self-centered, selfish dolt, to let Lupe die than risk going back to jail. What Dolores saw in him is beyond me.
Gaeloma = meh.

Cathyx:
Thank you so much! This is a real knock-out of a recap! Hilarious, my dear! And I'm so impressed that you know Fluffy so well that you can tell which lines are his and which are Junior's. Wow. THAT explains the whole Horacio thing.
When Gael and Paloma were leaning over the balcony rail, I thought how easy it would be for one of the two to give the other a little push ...
... or even better -- what if the balcony had given way and both Gael and Paloma had tumbled down (yes, down) to heaven realizing, during their slo-mo descent, that they truly loved one another after all?
Then the next scene could show Padre Lupe (no more "ex-") welcoming them to the Table of the Ones Who Got Away.
I was grateful to Lucio and Dolores for putting Lupe's death in perspective for us. After all, we might have been tempted to see it as Lupe's own tragedy and second, Gael's and Alfonsina's. It's good to be reminded that Elisa OWNS the tragedy franchise.
It WAS fun to see the shunning of Begoña though that wasn't the first time the ladies had blacklisted her. It's unclear how she ever made her way back into the gaggle of gossips -- or could there be more than one gaggle in La Ermita?

Doris, Gaeloma sounds like a disease. Oh right; it is.
Novela Maven, you evil delight you. I hadn't thought to push the dreary duo over the rail but what an amazingly perfect idea. Kudos to you m'dear. Better both than one I say.
Oh yes, ITA that Elisa owns the tragedy franchise. Julia's idea keeps sounding better and better.

Awwww Katy, you're already naming the babies. So sweet.
Personally, I'd go with "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". (Snort)
Sylvia, after seeing Grumpy Gael schlepping around Cancún in his banana-yellow shorts, I'd have pushed him myself. But you are right -- the Two-fer is definitely better.

Cathyx, thank you so much for making such great comic relief out of such a horrible episode. Loved your Fluffy and Fluffy Jr simian writers theme and all the references of the Murder shows. It was like watching a Mel Brooks movie about those… Absolutely agree on the ‘And Horacio had bloody wet hands for HOW long???’ also, if Horacio had enough mind to tell Loopy ‘I could not do anything’ then how did he have the stoopid time to grab the knife and put his hands all over it AFTER Gabino had wiped Carmina’s prints off it? Didn’t he learn anything in the previous ‘jobs’ he has done??
It was funny watching Gabino and Carmina remind each other of knowing each other’s little casualties of war… and be both turned on by that…
Diana, Totally agree on BeGoneYa and her ‘what goes around comes around’/ ‘Payback’s a B’ moment…
JudyB, I too liked Lupe’s choice of psalm 23 to recite as he was bleeding out…
NM, totally agree on
When Gael and Paloma were leaning over the balcony rail, I thought how easy it would be for one of the two to give the other a little push…
and yes, loved the idea that he would realize he loved her after all on their way down… ‘you know what? I do love you, but we are DOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEE!!!!’
Also totally agree that Elisa had to turn this one also as her own tragedy instead of Gael’s, Alfie’s or even Dam’s (Lupe was his uncle).
Loopy joining the table of the Ones who Got Away… I am beginning to think that anyone in that table is already free from the Elisa agonizing whinning and crying torture. And they are feeling the release and toasting to each other… With Rosie’s(Cesar Evora’s) loud laugh… so contagious.
NM, Thing1 and THing2... Hysterical!!
one more note... have to say i loved the acting on Mark T when he heard Loopy was dead... he got pale instantly and looked as if all his energy left him, he was about ot drop the phone... and barely got to blabber to Paloma that Loopy his papa was dead...
it reminded me of when his character learned his friend Martin had died in LHDM.

Cathyx, This recap was HILARIOUS. I was reading in my office and had to stifle my laughter. From time to time I lurk over here to enjoy the recap writing (what storyline?).
My beanie is off to you and the Abysmal TN recap team! Really!

CathyX:
Way to go on the recap of this way stoopid epi! I was glad to learn just what Fluffy Jr. has been up to lately. Thank you for the sense of fun you bring to this bewildering TN—really a nice job with this one CathyX.
On Gaeloma: w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r...
On Damlisa: Give me one good reason to care about these two idiots. Who cares if she invests in his failing business? Why oh why would you want an investor to goes to visit her mother's grave in red lace hotpants? I think those shorts might be very useful in picking up a little extra work on the side but they hardly belong in the Boardroom unless they were under real business clothes.
Let's answer the only real question posed by last night's 'happenings'; Will Alfie turn on Horacio?
Sadly for me, Futbol has preempted my opportunity to (rant and rave at) recap tonight's episode of AdP. I guess I will have turn my creative hand to creating a recap worthy of the ULTIMA SEMANA.
Finally.

If the police show Lolita the murder weapon, I suspect that she will recognize it immediately. Now, would she associate it with Horacio who is familiar with the kitchen and knows his way around a knife, or would she link it to Carmina who lives there but rarely goes in the kitchen and prefers clubs and shotguns?
Even more importantly, how would a monkey see this?
Will Lupe have traces of Carmina's lipstick on his lips and traces of her perfume on his jacket?
Carlos

Oh, NM, you wickedly funny wordsmith! I am glad you caught me in that ambiguous sentence. Heeheehee. I am still tittering.

More giggles.

In últimas semanas, the bar on the Patio never closes, Carlos.
EJ, perhaps you meant to say:
"Will Alfonsina y Vince show loyalty to Horacio?"
But then who in the blazes is Vince? And why would Fluffy write him in at the last moment?

Vince doesn't wear any bandannas, and he washes his hair, but he shares his bad twin's allergy to shirt buttons.
Carlos, you are cracking me up today. You ask questions about what will happen and then you say 'Even more importantly, how would a monkey see this? So true. We already know not to view this show through the eyes of a human.

Horacio has his prints all over the knife and he has them all over Lupe's white suit. Dirty hand prints, that is.

Logical but disappointmenting, Cathyx. I was so looking forward to an episode devoted to the Mendoza Brothers, Gabino and Vince, in which their long-ago estrangement was explained.
Dam!

I think Vince and Chente are different people.
Vince was secretly in love with Remedios, but Gabino snagged her, and Vince never forgave him when she died in childbirth. Hence the estrangement. He would have stuck around to help raise his niece, but he was told that the baby had died, too.

Oh you guys remember VINCE! He is Fluffy's distant cousin and a Bonobo. His attitude is so typical of his kind...when in doubt, grab a gal and hit the hay. He's been doing the writing for Little Gael.
I mistakenly slipped him into the sentence about Alfie DEMONSTRATING loyalty to bloody Horacio. I must have been thinking about poor Alfonsina's long dry spell and how she felt waking up and finding a MAN in her
recamera.
Titter.

I go away for a few hours, and you guys have obviously knocked back a few drinks on the patio, because your comments are almost as hilarious as Cathy's recap. LOL!
EJ, I mentioned last week that I suspected there were some bonobos on Team Simian but I confess I never made the connection between them and Vince. So does that mean:
a. Gabino Mendoza has a brother on the writing team?
and
b. Gabino Mendoza IS a bonobo? He doesn't seem to have the sunny disposition; maybe he suffers from some sort of simian mood disorder.
"Man is the the recamera" ... sort of reminds me of Bambi: "Man is in the meadow".
No need to be rude about poor Horacio? Oh -- what's that? ... I see. You meant literally "bloody Horacio"!

I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a Little Estefania, a Little Augusto, and/or a Little Rosendo. Just sayin'.....

oops. I meant to say "Man is IN the recamera." (Not that THAT makes any sense either. Time for some Kahlua I think.)
Vince worked as the birth registrar for La Ermita. Only he has ever known, or will ever know, Gael's last name.
Novela Maven, which table are you sitting at? I would love some Kahlua.
Gael must be like those one named singers, except that if he wants to give give his baby a last name, he needs to one for himself first.

Vince was the chief of police and the only one who knew how to investigate suspicious deaths...or who knew when to find deaths suspicious.
He also owned the ladies' trousers boutique. The women of La Ermita have had to make do with handkerchiefs and doilies since he closed up shop and fled town.

Cathyx, I'm sitting at Mala Suerte Guy's table. :)
Vivi, Didn't we say Paloma's apellido was "Gonzáles"?
R la O, if you didn't see "Triunfo del amor", you'd have no way to know this but Gael's last name has to be "Desamparado".
"Wait...there was another Mendoza?? Vince? "
Hey TF, ask EJ and Julia. THEY started this! jejeje
I love the Vince theories. Maybe they can distract us from the disappointment of missing our Tuesday fix.

That's right NM. She does have the same last name as Ramona. Do we know if there was a Mr. Gonzalez or did Ramona also pass on a maternal last name.
I like Gael Desamparado. We must always say his full name, ALL the time, just to rub it in his face that he was abandoned. That should work wonders for his attitude.
Vivi in DC - remember the mother's surname is the one the kids have. I know that, because it causes all sorts of confusion in the local schools here.
Doris- But the kids get both names. When a woman marries, she drops the maternal last name and takes her husband's father's family name as her second last name. So the maternal last names still get lost in the mix eventually. Still better than our system where the maternal last name is lost immediately.
The Mexican kids I went to school with used either both father's and mother's surnames, or shortened with just the father's. Either way they would be alphabetized under the father's surname since that comes first in the order. I don't think we had any desamparado kids in our school.
I just think the nuns lacked imagination and were just plain old mean. Over here is Juan Butugli, and over there in Elena Forise...
I don't believe Fluffy has filled us in on Mr. Ramona. All he has told us on the Patio is that Ramona's own daddy was shot in the head and (like Gabino) survived. Only unlike Gabs, who went around telling everyone "She shot me in the head, dude", Ramona's father never knew he had been shot. He just said, "Oy vey, such a headache I've got!"
When he died, they found the bullet lodged in his head.
When he died, they found the bullet lodged in his head.
I was reading something on a different site and someone mentioned needing soft things to throw at the wall and I was all, "NERFAZOS. They're called nerfazos" and then I remembered that not everyone uses that word. But they should.
Thanks NMaven for a funny recap to this otherwise incredible novela. I read in a magazine weeks ago that the good Padre was going to get murdered so for a while I was sort of disgruntled watcher waiting for this day. Oh well, time for my mantra: it's only a tn....I have a question. Vivi, maybe you know the answer with the vital character dying without telling the major secrets and Ramona is unreliable, who would reveal them? I am outrage of the killing of Kenia,and the villification of Estefania. Also, would Gabino own up to the other killings and shenanigans he did i.e. falsification of the plane tickets? I hope that Fluffy would be able to lift the shroud on these important secrets before all these characters die one by one in 2 weeks time. And lastly, I am at a lost how Fluffy would transform Gael into a loving husband to Paloma. How?

Haha, NM. Well then does that mean "Vince" was/is the "good twin" then? And Gab the "evil twin"?
"Gael Desamparado"?? Sounds fitting. Not unless Alfie is considered his step mother.

"He just said, "Oy vey, such a headache I've got!"
When he died, they found the bullet lodged in his head."
And the doctor said, "Who knew?"
When he died, they found the bullet lodged in his head."
And the doctor said, "Who knew?"
Vida- Never have I seen a telenovela, at least not a good one, so committed to killing off everyone who knows the truth before they can tell it. This is a wonder to behold. I am starting to doubt all the truths will come to light, unless in their final, blow out death scenes, both Carmina and Gabino spill every secret they have ever kept, before going out in a blaze of glory.
OMG, while I've been driving around in the rain, you all have been cooking up quite a feast for the wits. Thanks, Cathyx, for the recap, and thanks to everyone else for keeping the flame of snark alive.

Once more, though, I have to ask: what does "I love him with all my heart and all my soul, more than anything, more than ever, more than my very life itself, but NOT enough to believe him, talk to him, forego lying to him, or front him a little cash" MEAN, EXACTLY??? I know I haven't dated in a while, but I'm confused.

Thanks for your creative explanations of this otherwise unfathomable plot!
Thanks for your creative explanations of this otherwise unfathomable plot!
Dear Caray Caray readers:
Please, I beg of you—no more letters. I cannot take the constant harangue in letters, e-mails and Tweets. I know our son, Fluffy, is running amok, but what is a mother to do?
First you should know that Fluffy is from a very good family—we are not Zoo-rats but pure stock from South Africa. My Auntie was a child star in those chimp Nature programs made by National Geographic and Horace Gabino, Fluffy's father, once spent time with Jane Goodall herself. We are good people and we just can't understand what happened to Fluffy.
He went to the best schools, you understand. We got him into the Behavioral Science program at UC Davis and he went straight from there to Film school at USC. His professors said he had great promise and they recommended him for the position interning at Televisa some 10 years ago. We were so thrilled when he took to the Spanish language right away and put up some good work in the Telenovela world.
Caray Caray readers, we can see for ourselves that our son has gone on a murdering rampage. We are fans of TNs and faithfully lurk here on Caray Caray. I cannot tell you how distressed we are to find that he is now killing off beloved characters in Ultimas Semanas.
To be honest, we have our own complaints about Fluffy and his crew. Why has he given all the (now) dead or bad characters family names. I mean, does Sabine Moussier look like a Carmina to you? I may have had a little work done, but I never wore a scarecrow fright wig!
And if, in raising Fluffy I was a little too busy to manage his day-to-day issues, well, that is what nannies are for! Parents have to work you know! Once I got that contract with 'PBS's Nature, it was all I could do just to keep up with the costume changes for one of those PBS Documentaries. Honestly, the false canines in and out, the wigs and furry outfits, you would think that one of those photogs would have noticed that I was playing three chimps at once. But no, to them "we all look the same".
Fluffy went to a nice little boarding school and his father and I saw him SEVERAL times a year.
Now Fluffy is having a few difficulties in his writing job and you people won't leave me alone! We did our best, his father and I and I think you should give him a break! After all, in real time he ha already started his new show 'Amores..V..something'.
Pretty soon you won't have Fluffy to kick around anymore.
And about that little incident with the researcher in South Africa who was bothered while Fluffy Amadeus was visiting his orphan cousin Nicki, well the press made far too much of that incident. Unlike in L'Ermita, no one was KILLED, you understand.
So, Caray Caray readers, please understand that I cannot possibly control my grown son's actions. Thinking about the death of Father Lupe brought a tear to my eye as well. Please don't direct any more complaint mail HERE but directly to Fluffy and his employers.
If, on the other hand, you want to discuss my sensitive portrayal of a dying Penobscot mother who sacrificies herself to save her children (the film is called Fist Mother and is available on Netflix) I would be happy to hear from you. I WAS, nominated for and Academy Award for that one, but I lost to that over-rated cow, Meryl Streep.
Sincerely,
Carmina Gabino Pan Troglodytes
Fluffy's Beloved Mother
Please, I beg of you—no more letters. I cannot take the constant harangue in letters, e-mails and Tweets. I know our son, Fluffy, is running amok, but what is a mother to do?
First you should know that Fluffy is from a very good family—we are not Zoo-rats but pure stock from South Africa. My Auntie was a child star in those chimp Nature programs made by National Geographic and Horace Gabino, Fluffy's father, once spent time with Jane Goodall herself. We are good people and we just can't understand what happened to Fluffy.
He went to the best schools, you understand. We got him into the Behavioral Science program at UC Davis and he went straight from there to Film school at USC. His professors said he had great promise and they recommended him for the position interning at Televisa some 10 years ago. We were so thrilled when he took to the Spanish language right away and put up some good work in the Telenovela world.
Caray Caray readers, we can see for ourselves that our son has gone on a murdering rampage. We are fans of TNs and faithfully lurk here on Caray Caray. I cannot tell you how distressed we are to find that he is now killing off beloved characters in Ultimas Semanas.
To be honest, we have our own complaints about Fluffy and his crew. Why has he given all the (now) dead or bad characters family names. I mean, does Sabine Moussier look like a Carmina to you? I may have had a little work done, but I never wore a scarecrow fright wig!
And if, in raising Fluffy I was a little too busy to manage his day-to-day issues, well, that is what nannies are for! Parents have to work you know! Once I got that contract with 'PBS's Nature, it was all I could do just to keep up with the costume changes for one of those PBS Documentaries. Honestly, the false canines in and out, the wigs and furry outfits, you would think that one of those photogs would have noticed that I was playing three chimps at once. But no, to them "we all look the same".
Fluffy went to a nice little boarding school and his father and I saw him SEVERAL times a year.
Now Fluffy is having a few difficulties in his writing job and you people won't leave me alone! We did our best, his father and I and I think you should give him a break! After all, in real time he ha already started his new show 'Amores..V..something'.
Pretty soon you won't have Fluffy to kick around anymore.
And about that little incident with the researcher in South Africa who was bothered while Fluffy Amadeus was visiting his orphan cousin Nicki, well the press made far too much of that incident. Unlike in L'Ermita, no one was KILLED, you understand.
So, Caray Caray readers, please understand that I cannot possibly control my grown son's actions. Thinking about the death of Father Lupe brought a tear to my eye as well. Please don't direct any more complaint mail HERE but directly to Fluffy and his employers.
If, on the other hand, you want to discuss my sensitive portrayal of a dying Penobscot mother who sacrificies herself to save her children (the film is called Fist Mother and is available on Netflix) I would be happy to hear from you. I WAS, nominated for and Academy Award for that one, but I lost to that over-rated cow, Meryl Streep.
Sincerely,
Carmina Gabino Pan Troglodytes
Fluffy's Beloved Mother
IT'S NOT NICE TO MAKE PEOPLE BELLY-LAUGH IN LIBRARIES

LOL! Thanks for that end of day chuckle EJ. :)
Fluffy's mother seems as self centered as Elisa. Coincidence?...

Elna June, thanks for posting that for Fluffy's mom Carmina. She has me laughing out loud.

Poor Fluffy. Now we understand his leanings toward the macabre.
Madame Carmina de Gabino -- for shame! No wonder your boy struggles for self-acceptance. Take your brachiating boo-hoos elsewhere. I'm sure you can find plenty of nits to pick without straying from your home range.

EJ- Poor Fluffy! What a horrible and neglectful mother he had. Now I feel bad for all the bad things I said and thought about him.
Ah EJ...I'm thinking your imagination got you in a lot of trouble when you were a kid (alright, so you're still a kid...and don't ever change!)
My favorite reaction was Vivi's...noting that Fluffy's mom was as self-centered as Elisa. Score!!!!

I think Fluffy's mom would be a natural fit in La Ermita society. Has she considered moving there?
All this talk reminds me of one of my high school lab partners, who named EVERY specimen in biology "Fluffy". It was also his favorite descriptor for any substance we had to describe. All chemicals and minerals were fluffy.

Bwahahaha!! EJ, you are a scream, that's for sure. Are you sure there isn't a Begona somewhere in Mrs. Pan Troglodyte's name? I fear poor Fluffy is projecting mummy dearest into many of La Ermita's characters.
Thanks for the laugh. There is a pitcher waiting for you on the patio.

EJ--Thanks for the chuckle, then the laugh, then the hysterics. Man am I glad I was alone. Fortunately I knew enough about the characters to "get" it. Wish you were posting on Bravio or Refugio--but then neither of these are remotely snarky enough for the likes of you.
