Amores Verdaderos #7 Fri 11/16/12 The Hawt Guys Each Make a Decision; Salsero and Kendra Come Up With A New Plan
Balverna Mansion: Nikki's Bedroom: There is a mother-daughter conference goin' on. Ms Vikki knows her daughter is anemic, questions if she is eating, and of course Nikki, is lying thru her teeth and says she is. Ms Vikki knows better and tells her daughter the doc told her Nikki is anemic. She even makes a show of eating, but no dice. Ms Vikki wants her to take care of herself. Nikki tries to tell her Mama she is nervous and that's why she fainted and fell in the pool. Her Mama isn't buying it. Of course, Nikki doesn't like the gorilla her Mama hired to watch over her twenty four/seven. Nikki wants him gone like yesterday like fired. Ms Vikki has to explain to her that she is in danger from the bad men that tried to kidnap her, they could get the idea to kidnap Nikki too! She cannot go out on the street without a bodyguard. Her Mama wants her to see a nutritionist, this recapper thinks she needs a good dose of therapy for her image and dietary issues. Nikki doesn't agree but says ok, take me to a doctor, you'll see I'm fine. Then there is the chisme Guzmancito told Ms Vikki about that bad boyfriend Rommel and about the fight. Nikki wants to know who told her that? Nikki has had enough and wants to sleep. There was a sound of the doorbell, and Tomasina interrupts the convo to tell Ms Vikki that Commandante Robles has arrived with her Papa Anibal. Ms Vikki is concerned that the declaration she gave at the Red Cross Hospital wasn't enough, but she tells Tomasina to escort her Papa Anibal, and Commandante Robles to the library, along with Twinkle Toes Salsero and Arriaga our Angel. So Nikki suddenly changes her tune and wants her Mama to send Guzmancito up so she can thank him for saving her life. Guzmancito is right outside the door, and Ms Vikki and Tomasina go, and Guzmancito comes in. Nikki asks him to close the door, please, Ruh Roh. Guzmancito asks how she is feeling and she says Super, in English, smiles and slaps the crap out of him. She lets him have it about his gossiping to her Mama about Rommel, how she thinks he is there not as a bodyguard but a gossip machine, he is paid very well to protect her, and stay out of her bidness. Guzmancito has had enough, he informs Nikki that from today on he won't be involved in her bidness anymore. Slam goes the door as he goes. Afterwards, Nikki is lookin' like a mess, like she just realized what awful things she said to him and she has tears in her eyes.
Library: Ms Vikki, Arriaga, Twinkle Toes Salsero, Anibal and Commandante Robles are all gathered in the library, and Ms Vikki tells the Commandante that Arriaga is on pain meds due to his injury. Arriaga, our Angel, tells them he will fully cooperate and he is doing well. The commandante is a friend of Anibal's and the commandante is concerned cause this is the second attempt at kidnapping on Ms Vikki. Seems the mall camera caught images of the vehicle, and the plates which were stolen, and several figures of the men, but they aren't clear. The Commandante wants to know if they can identify any pics of these men, using the computer he brought. They look at the pics and are quite unsure, until the pic comes up of the guy with the scar on his face. Twinkle Toes is very nervous watching them, he seems to be, wait for it, sweating! Once they identify scar face, the Commandante pulls up his rap sheet. Seems the scar face's name is El Marcado and he has a rap sheet a mile long. Arriaga also informs everyone that he feels the guy was takin' orders from someone. Ruh Roh, Twinkle Toes Salsero, is tryin' to hide his face and he is very nervous!
Living Room: Nelson is on the phone with his "future" hope to be honey boo boo, Kendra of course giving her the latest dish on his wife's attempted kidnapping, the flesh wound Arriaga received , also about Nikki's accident in the pool, just givin' her all the info she needs. He tells her that they are taking more security measures, way to go Nelson with your big mouth. Kendra tells him of course he is right about the extra measures. Note to Nelson: You are talkin' to the enemy you bozo, jus' sayin'. He also tells her his FIL, Anibal is speeding up the investigation with money and influence to find the people that did this to Ms Vikki. He tells her he wants to see her at the agency tomorrow and Ms Vikki doesn't have to approve that commercial and Kendra and he will get right on it. She is sooo happy about that.
Chinese Restaurant in the D.F.- Paula is meeting with the P.I. she hired to find out all about Candelaria Corona. She wants the info already, like yesterday. The P.I. tells her the info she gave him was really good, cause he has got some news for her. He tells her Candelaria disappeared for eight years and came back with her daughter Christina. Paula wants to know where Candelaria is now? She sent the letter from Alamo, Sonora. But Christina still lives in Santa Rita, married, and lives in the country. They arent' doing to well right now. The locals like the husband and think he is a great guy, his name is Jose Angel Arriaga. The P.I. now gives a pic of Chrissie to Paula. Next he gives her a pic of Lili. What there is a granddaughter too!!!! Boy, is Paula shocked and chagrined!
Balvanera Mansion: Ms Vikki is walking with our Angel, since the Commandante has left, and telling him to go get some rest. And if he needs anything Tomasina will get it for him. He says he'll be ok. They have a long soul searching look, pass between them and he softly tells her she's alive and good night. They almost look like they don't want to part, and he goes.Vikki is hugging herself.
Kitchen: Polita and Jean Marie are in the kitchen when there is a loud banging on the door and a screaming of Papa, enough to shout the house down I must say. Polita gets the door. It's Lili and her Mama Chrissie of course, with a basket and she wants to know where her Papa is. No rest for the weary. Her Papa comes in and they both greet him warmly. They tell him they heard the news on the radio, panicked, er came as soon as they heard. Lili wants to see the injury as does Chrissie, but he assures them he is fine. Ms Vikki comes in to see what the ruckus is all about, and the Angel says he hopes she's not bothered that his family has arrived. She is fine with that. Miss Vikki forgets herself and goes to hug the Angel, and says thanks to him she is alive she tells Chrissie she has a strong husband. Chrissie gives Ms Vikki a terratorial look and tells Vikki that she and the Angel have been together for twenty years, as she takes his arm and Lili hugs him. Ms Vikki goes. Lili starts right in. Does she wear the pants in this family, jus' sayin'. Let's get your things Papa, all packed up and let's go back home! The Angel is trying to calm her down but Lili insists she ain't goin' till he comes home. She kisses his hand and hugs him too hard and he has an ouchy moment. Jean Marie is so sweet, he has made coffee for the visitors and Polita has even made some cookies she gives them. They thank her. Lili tells him about the premonition she had at the house, Chrissie says Lili has been shouting since they left home, and Lili wants her Papa home like yesterday. Don't stay in this house anymore, where are your things, I'll even pack them up for you. He tells her to be calm, he has to stay there to repay Ms Vikki the debt he owes her. Lili says well, pay her in payments like you did the bank then. She is whining and crying and the Angel has to tell her he promised Ms Vikki the debt would be paid by his work for her. Lili wants her Mama to join in the argument and Lili insists she isn't leaving that house with out him and she gets up and goes. They don't try to stop her, and the Angel tells Chrissie, Lili is as stubborn as she is. Have a cookie.
Body Guards Quarters, Guzmancito's Room: Our hawt guy is packin' his things he has had enough already of Nikki the shrew. Guzmancito tells Twinkle Toes Salsero, who is lovin', er lookin' at himself in the mirror, that he isn't comfortable anymore and TTS tells him well you can always quit. Guzmancito wants to know why TTS works for the Balvanera's? Cause he likes the money! Guzmancito says he likes the money too, but he is goin' he's had enough, well, you get the pic. He has a flashback of that slap. He throws the clothes out of his closet.
Grand Hallway with a Twisting Staircase: I know what your thinkin'. Staircase of Doom, we've all seen them in TN'S but Lili is screaming for Ms Vikki at the bottom, not the top. Yelling at the top of her lungs. Lili is cryin' and Tomasina comes in with a tray and wants to know who the heck she is. Lili tells her. Lili continues to scream for Ms Vikki. Ms Vikki finally comes in and tells her to stop the screaming already! Nelson comes down that staircase, wanting to know QTH is goin on. Lili wants Ms Vikki to release her Papa, and Ms Vikki tells Nelson who Lili is. Lili is under the impression they are keeping her Papa kinda locked up,but they say that isn't the case, and Lili tells Ms Vikki he is cause of the debt he owes her. Angel and his wife come in and tell Lili to stop. Lili promises Ms Vikki her Papa will pay back every penny he owes but she wants him back home with her, so in the mornings when she wakes up she can see him again. The Angel tries to stop her but she continues on that at night she gives her a goodnight kiss, is Lili like six years old? How old is she anyways? She tells Ms Vikki she really misses her Papa and he almost died. Chrissie aplogizes to Vikki, it's just that Lili is very sensitive where her Papa is concerned and the Angel also swears by his word it won't happen again. Then Ms Vikki releases the Angel from his debt cause he saved her life once again. But the Angel isn't happy, he still feels he owes her. But Vikki is adamant that the Angel can go back home with is family. Lili kisses her hands, while Vikki tells her it's ok, you don't have to do that.The Angel says, sorry can't accept I gave you my word. Nelson wants the Angel to accept what Vikki is offering. No debt, it's all paid and Vikki says she trusted him and she wasn't wrong. He still isn't down with that, but Vikki insists she is in HIS debt and to do what he has to do. He finally thanks her and Lili wants to go home, but Vikki tells them to spend the night, they can have something to eat, and Angel can get the rest he needs. Nelson wants the Angel to come to the library to give him a check for the days he has worked, but Angel doesn't want to do that. Nelson insists it's the least he can do. After Nelson goes, the Angel hugs Lili and thanks her, and he goes.
Outside Balvanera Mansion: Twinkle Toes is calling his henchman El Marcado to lay low and not go out, the cops are lookin' for him, doncha know. He sent all the other people away already. Twinkle Toes promises to help him and he'll have news for him soon. Yeah right.
Flower Room: Ms Vikki is hugging herself and thinking of the hawt Angel hugging her. She has her arms almost around herself with a longing look in her eyes, just thinking about "her" Angel. Now she thinks of him, with a bare chest, hugging her in the mall parking lot. I bet she is wondering what she will do without him. Hmmm??? Ms Vikki is hugging herself again, just thinking about that barechested hug, yummy, and by the way, why did the Angel close his eyes while he was huggin' her???? Anways Tomasina comes in and scares Vikki and now Tomasina is hugging herself and talking about the Angel how strong and how much courage, and is it ok if she talks about him this way? Lol. And now he is leaving boo hiss, well not boo hiss, but they aren't happy. Tomasina tells Vikki that Guzman wants to see her. Bring him in she says. Guzmancito comes in says he is a bodyguard not a babysitter and Vikki is confused. She thought that Nikki had apologized to Guzmancito. He doesn't want to go into details but that's it he quits! He says he is done, stick a fork in him,not really but he is quite upset. Vikki wants him to stay, she knows her daughter is a handful, if she were in his shoes, she could see his point, but she is desperate, please don't leave now. Stay as Nikki's bodyguard, ask and anything you want you get. He says anything, yes anything she says! Ha!
Leo and Beatriz' Place: Beatriz is lookin' at the want ads and highlighting some of them. Leo comes in and she hides the paper under the tablecloth. He is home early cause the bar he works in had few customers and his boss closed early to spray for bugs, I think. He also asked about his son. He went to sleep already. Anyways, she asks if he wants dinner. She starts making it and he finds the paper under the tablecloth. He gets really pithed off and grabs her by the hair and asks her what the hell this is about? He doesn't want her to work, period. She just wants to help him out with the expenses of the home. She won't neglect their son, she'll work around his schedule, and then Leo socks Beatriz in the jaw. I wish that Beatriz had kicked him in the family jewels, jus' sayin'. Poor Beatriz is crying her eyes out, holds her hand over her mouth and continues to cry while he has stalked off. Where is that cast iron skillet for his head, jus' sayin'. Beatriz goes to the bedroom where Leo already is. She looks in the mirror and she has a honking bruise on her face. Did she remember the cast iron skillet, Nah, but she is upset. She is holding ice to her face to make the swelling go down. He is tryin to get a little somethin somethin from her like make up sex, are you kidding me???? QTF is that???? He claims he hit her, cause she made him do it, as if!!!!! He is forcing himself on top of her and is kissing her and she is fighting him off. What a A$$HAT this guy is!!!!!
Back in Nikki's Bedroom: Vikki wants Nikki to apologize to Guzmancito for whatever she has done to him. Nikki won't, no siree bob! As a matter of fact he can disappear into zero for all she cares. He can do anything but be her bodyguard. Vikki insists she apologize and not only that he is stayin and that's it, sucks to be you. Nikki is like but Mommy, not buts young lady this is an order not a request. I hired him to protect my most valuable thing I have in my life. Nikki is mad cause she thinks she can take care of herself. Vikki doesn't agree, they have already tried to kidnap Vikki twice and who knows how many other attempts there will be. Nikki finally gets it and doesn't want to lose her Mama. She finally convinces Nikki to apologize if not for herself then for her Mama.
Body Guard Quarters, Well lo and behold, Nikki has come to see Guzmancito! She apologizes to him and he pretends he didn't hear her and she has to say it again. He doesn't think she is sorry at all and he wants to hear it again, with more emotion this time. Way to go Guzmancito. She does and asks him please not to quit. He starts smiling and says then he can't refuse a beggin' woman, and he laughs right in her face. He keeps laughing and takes his leave. Nikki is pithed. She calls him an idiot, after he has left of course, and he will regret that laugh!
Kitchen: The Angel, Chrissie, Lili, Jean Marie, Twinkle Toes, that wears his sunglasses at night, and Polita are enjoying that dinner Jean Marie has cooked up. All except Salsero of course. They are talking about Lili convincing Vikki to let him go home, and then Salsero tells them Guzman is leaving too. Oh, ay yi yi from Polita, that is her hunk of man, doncha know. Tomasina is there too. Jean Marie asks Lili if she has a boyfriend? The Angel says of course not! Tomasina talks about the Chinese Horoscope again, something about a buffalo and a cock I think, that is in rooster, y'all now. Something about Angel being a tiger and maybe Chrissie being a boar? Anyways, Lili is going for a walk, she ate too much. Chrissie and the Angel thank them for the dinner and they go. Tomasina remarks it's a shame Arriaga is goin' and Mr. Sunglasses says noone is indispensible in this life. Ha! Jean Marie makes faces behind Salsero's back and Polita gives Twinkle Toes the stink eye.
Anibal's and Paula's Love Nest: Paula wants to know if Anibal is more relaxed now, he had such a tough day, doncha know. First his granddaughter had an accident, then someone tried to kidnap his daughter, but it's all good now. His family is very important to him! Now she wants to know how he feels about her???? Is it all about her or what??? She is his piece, er sorry, I meant peace.
Body Guard Quarters: He has brought his bag back and pulls out that pic of his Mama Paula and is lookin' at it, he's in his room. He goes to the room outside that has the tv/computer and encounters Salsero, Twinkle Toes and asks Que Haces Aqui?? Frankie tells him he decided to stay. Twinkle Toes wants to know how much Vikki is payin' him to stay? He says no pay raise. So Twinkle Toes tells Frankie, since he is stayin' he is doin' the rounds. Frankie says he will cover for the Angel too and Salsero, Twinkle Toes tells him that Angel is returning to his ranch tomorrow. Frankie is looking thoughtful.
Exercise Balcony: Nikki is working out, again. Sweating profusely and gets a call from a friend that wants her to come hang out. Nikki tells the friend she is soooo fattt, oh please and she can't lose a pound. Her friends says look, you are so NOT FAT!!!!! She wants to think about goin' out and says she will call her back later. Nikki is all out of breath, even when talking on the phone! After she hangs up she is still complaining, while looking at herself in the mirror, she is just too fat. Nikki has gotten dressed and is weighing herself, she still weighs the same. She takes her jacket off, pinches that supposed fat on her belly, looks at herself in the mirror, and is very upset and cries. It is heartbreaking to see her do this. She gets on the floor and cries her eyes out. She has a cross tatoo on her wrist.
Lili and the Flower Room: Lili has discovered the flower room and is just enchanted. She is in her element. She touches all the plants and even names a bansai tree, which she calls Sylvester! She is lovingly touching the bonsai tree when Guzmancito comes upon her. She asks who he is and he says I am asking you who you are and what are you doing here, in his tough guy voice.
Kendra's Apartment: Twinkle Toes has come to see Kendra. He is witching to Kendra that the Angel quit today and she thinks his planes are stupid cause none of them have worked out. Whose idea was the kidnap anyways, Wasn't it Kendra's Idea???? Twinkle Toes says not his fault and Kendra says oh, yeah it is all the karate cowboy's fault, lol. He makes her aware that they identified the scar face and if he talks they are in big time trouble. He tells her that now Anibal will make him hire a more qualified bodyguard, and ole Kendra says then find a way to make him stay, do whatever it takes. Kendra also mentions maybe kidnapping Nikki instead of Vikki, but Twinkle Toes is very reluctant cause Guzman is a professional and not like the Angel, he has been trained, doncha know. They argue about whose plan is better and finally Twinkle Toes tells her enough, already, things will be done HIS way!
Kitchen: Ms Vikki is having a moment, crying. It is a private lil moment for her, from all stress she has had all day. She is having some tea. She should be having some chamomile tea. The Angel has come in, unbeknownst to her. He watches her for half a second and then asks if he can sit down for a sec, of course he can. He wants to know if she is alright, what is it? It's just everything that has happened. He thinks she is strong, and even hands her a tissue, lol. She tells him she didn't mean to cry. With tears in his eyes now, he assures her the police will find who did this to her, she must stay strong and he will always be with her in spirit, I think. Her life will get back to normal. She continues to cry and he watches her. And here is where the epi ends.
Advances:
Chrissie thinks that the Angel is more than a bodyguard to Vikki.
Nikki sneaks out, upsetting her Mama who is telling the Angel she can't take anymore. He goes to hug her when Chrissie comes in giving the death ray to them both.
Labels: Amores
Am pre-watching ahead (so I can start writing my recap for Tues) and it's all fun.
Looking forward to the recap! :D
I wonder how long it will take Guzman to 'tame the shrew'. Niki is such a spoiled brat.
It looks like all the characters are inter-twined by family relationships, many of them unknown to the others.
Anibal's lady friend is Guzman's mother? I thought that was the case in one of those first episodes, and after last night I have no doubt.
Lili is annoying, but she seems to have inherited that love for plants that Viki also has.(?) Would this be our llamada de la sangre??? (LOL)
Muchisimas gracias!
I like that they are not making Cristina an acid wife that any husband would want to flee. Hope they keep it this way. A love triangle between three basically decent people.
So I guess Cristina's mom sent Anibel a letter about his (unknown) daughter because the mom’s dying? Why else would she decide to tell him now?
Guzman's brother-in-law is such a jerk. Hope Guzman sees his sister before that bruise heals.
Due to the low number of comments historically made to general weekend topics as a novela winds down, there will be no weekend discussion immediately following the finale of Refugio. Next weekend, prior to the very final episodes, we will have one on the subject of the Karmageddons of the villains of that series.
I don't know whether this will be the norm from now on, but Refugio is popular enough to justify it. Please think about what you would like to see happen to the characters of that series and we will discuss it next weekend.
I’m confused. So Vikki and Christina are actually half sisters; so Lili is actually Vikki’s neice, ? So Angel is about to have an affair with his half sister in law??? (I am assuming this by the lead in scenes to this TN, not a spoiler.)
Didn’t seem to be any ‘call of the blood’ here, eh, when Vikki sees Christina, right?
Yeah, Cristina's 6th sense is kicking in and she can pick up the attraction vibes between JA and Vicki. I bet she'll be happy that Lili shouted the house down and got JA released from his obligation to Vicki.
I thought it was funny when the staff was comlaining about what a brat Nicki is, and asked Lili if she was the same way, and JA said YEP! at least sometimes. We saw that in full force when she shouted the house down. The two cousins (Lili and Nicki) aren't so different after all.
Emarie- Yes. JA is married to one sister, and becoming increasingly attracted to the other. Of course, they don't know they are sisters.
If this triangle sounds weird, the quadrangle in Corazon Salvaje (any version) is even stranger.
Susanlynn: I'm sorry for what happening to your daughter and your family, it's awful. I wish all of you the best.
As for the storyline: it isn't that prominent and it will get much less depressing.
Niki is a pain (when she says she's eating like a cow, Viki should instantly know she's got an eating problem)
I love Liliana!
Susanlynn- My thoughts and prayers are with your family and I really wish you and your family all the best.
Doris- I wondered about Lili and Vikki and the plants, but also about that sixth sense both of them seem to have. They seem to sense danger way before anyone else does. Interesting.
Marta- I did catch that, lol. My Spanish must be getting better. I still miss things though, so glad when you help me out.
Cathyx- Did she really mean it, do you think? I am on the fence. I don't know if she meant it for herself or her Mama Vikki.
Ron O'Gorman- Welcome. I haven't see you here before and so glad you joined us. I agree what you said about Nikki. Her Mama should have already figured this out, but then she has been busy working, and maybe now if she spends more time at home, she will pick up more clues. Agree with you about Lili, but she irrated me with her six year old attitude for this epi.
Elvira- So looking forward to your recap.
Urban- I can't wait for the Refugio villian comeuppance list. They are always fab and I think you will get tons of comments.
Emarie- As Vivi said you are correct about the relationships. I can't wait for Nikki to find out Lili is her cousin, that should be a really good scene. We know how snobby Nikki can be.
Vivi-thanks so much Amiga.I too think Chrissie is sensing something is up between Angel and Vikki, I think Angel and Vikki have a really deep connection. More of a soulmate I think.
Urban- I agree with you about the triangle and also the quadrangle from CS whatever version it was.
Aribeth- I too am happy that storyline isn't a major focus. That would be hard to recap. I had a hard time with it I wanted to punch the guys lights out.
Susanlynn- Sorry Big Ed is taken. He is my telenovio already :), lol. It's ok. I'll loan him to you, lol.
I like that Chrissie's radar is sensing there's something up between Angel and Vikki. She was fine with Vikki, until she noted the proprietary nature she had toward her man. Loved their exchange. Vikki - Your husband is so valient. Chrissie - Yes, I know. I've been married to him for 20 years.
NO SPOILERS (since I haven't watched that far ahead, maybe an episode or two). I see in the credits that the guy who played baddy "Guapo" in Cuando Me Enamoro is in this. He's that guapo silver-haired guy, looks about 40-something I think. NO SPOILERS but I looked up esmas's generic profile for Mr. Guapo and it doesn't *sound* like he's going to be a villain in this (but I don't know! They don't tell you much!) and I'm wondering whose galán he'll be. It would be nice if he were Beatriz's new, non-abusive galán (because there's no way I want her to stay with her abusive hubby in this story). One can hope. Or maybe Mr. Guapo will be Vicki's sister's galán (since we hear of Vicki's sister and see her in the opening titles too). Don't know, am curious to find out.
Anyway, Madelaine, thank you for a wonderful recap! Very funny and detailed as usual!
I feel sorry for Nikki, as we see now she's a basket case. I hope they continue to be realistic (as realistic as we can expect from a TN, anyway) in portraying her eating disorder. We are going to have a love triangle between Lily, Guzmancito, and Nikki, but it looks like from the opening titles that Lily hasn't got a chance and that Guzmancito and Nikki will be novios. Which I suppose makes the most sense, since he's taming the shrew here after all.
Big Angel BETTER NOT cheat on his wife! Not unless something develops in the story that makes this more 'acceptable.' But as things stand right now, it would be unacceptable. Semi-obliviously attracted, yes, that we can see. But to be seriously considering cheating, or actually cheat! Oh no no no no Big Angel, you'd better not, or you are a bad galán, and that would not do.
Susanlynn, if you see this, hugs to you and your family. Will keep you in my prayers.
Diana
"I see in the credits that the guy who played baddy "Guapo" in Cuando Me Enamoro is in this. He's that guapo silver-haired guy, looks about 40-something I think."
Oh yes, Lizardman, I mean, Lisardo Guarinos. I love that guy since his lame role in CS09.
Liliana is so annoying sometimes. She's a nice and good girl and I can deal with her overflowing sweetness, but she's a grown woman so she should stop acting like a lost 10 years old kid.
