Amores Verdaderos #20 Wed 12/5/12 Nikki has Avacadoes; Ms Vikki Asks and the Angel Gives; Tomasina and the Two Suitors
Next we have Dances with Sunglasses, walking outside muttering to himself, that everything is going according to his planes, bwaaahhaaa. Just then Zambrano, the other bodyguard comes up to Dances with Sunglasses, and Dances wants to know what is goin' on. Zambrano thinks something strange is goin' on here. He talked to the guards, they aren't involved, for sure. So that only leaves two options, and what are those, Dances with Sunglasses wants to know, either someone followed Nikki for days, meh, Dances says can't be, Guzmancito would have noticed, or there is a mole in the house, Yeah, Zambrano and you are lookin' right at him, jus' sayin'. Dances gets way upset, with Zambrano's speculation, one of his buddies could lose his job, but hey, Dances will keep his comment in mind. Oh Zambrano, if you only knew.
Polita, Tomasina and Jean Marie are in the kitchen praying to the Virgencita, the Hail Mary, for Nikki's safe return.
In the living room, it is Ms Vikki, Nelson the A$$hat, the Angel, Dances with Sunglasses and Guzmancito, who is lookin' rather guilty, and Salsero advises them to get some rest, cause they probably won't hear about the ransom drop until tomorrow. Ms Vikki tells Salsero to go. She advises the Angel and Guzmancito to go have a drink and then get some rest. Guzmancito tells her he won't be able to sleep. Ms Vikki tells them to go to the kitchen and eat something. Angel says he'll go in a minute. And there is Nelson, fast asleep on the sofa, if he really cared about his little girl, he'd be awake, jus' sayin'. Angel looks at him in disgust and goes.
Ms Vikki has gone to the library and is way upset. She has a pic of Nikki and is crying over the pic and calling her sweetheart, her little girl, her baby in other words. Instead of having gone in the kitchen, here is the Angel, coming to see her. He is sorry he is intruding, but he couldn't leave her alone, er leave her alone in her distress. No matter what he says, nothing will comfort her, but he promises her, with all his heart, that he understands her grief. He is so sincere, sigh! He just doesn't know what to do! He feels pins and needles and he feels his heart being pulled out. However she is strong facing this situation, and he admires her for it and she's sooo brave. He's never seen a woman with such courage and he feels like a fool, helpless in other words. He doesn't know how to help her, please tell him! She asks for a, wait for it, a HUG!!!! There is a very tight hug, the holding goes on and they both cry! Such is our star crossed couple. She pulls away finally, and thanks him. She just feels so unprotected right now, vulnerable because they have taken away the person she most loves in all the world, her little girl. But, our Ms Vikki, is very sensitive to the fact that the Angel almost lost his little girl in a fire, not too long ago. Sigh, these two. So who comes to interrupt, you ask? I'll give you two guess, and the first doesn't count. It's the A$$HAT of course, askin' his wifey pooh, why she let him fall asleep. He could have drunk some coffee to stay awake, jus' sayin'. Anyhoo, the Angel is about to go, when Nelson tells him he wants Salsero, who has gone to rest, of course, Dances with Sunglasses, needs his rest ya know, for further mis planes, jus' sayin'. Well Nelson is so not down with letting Dances with Sunglasses get any rest and says Dances should be awake same as them, if they are going to be up all night.
Of course, Dances isn't asleep, oh, noes, he is talkin' to his henchies about the ransom. He asks if everything is ok, it is, according to the henchie. Well ,they are giving the ransom over tomorrow, but be careful with Nikki, Dances doesn't want her hurt. The henchie promises all will go well, but wants to know what the cut of the ransom will be? Well, what they agreed on of course, no discussion of this, when the Angel comes in. Of course, Dances, pretends it's his mama on the phone. The Angel says this late at night, well yeah, Dances says, well say hi to her from me, which Dances does. He tells his Mama to take care and Click! The Angel informs him that Nelson wants to see him.
Next we have poor Guzmancito, riddled with guilt, thinking about Nikki. He remembers her swimming at the club, the first time he met her,and then the fake drowning, where he was about to give her mouth to mouth. Meantime, Nikki is trying to sleep or is asleep and she calls Guzmancito's name, dear Guzmancito. She dreams about herself and Guzmancito running through a field, kinda playing hide and seek, and then smoochies! She calls his name in her sleep again. Now back to Guzmancito, who is mentally asking Nikki to forgive him, if he had stayed and looked after her she'd be in her own bed asleep by now. He swears no matter what it takes, he will get her back.
Back at the kidnap grimy mattress, Nikki is awoken by the creepy guy. Anyhoo, he had touched her to wake her up and she has freaked out. He tells her he just did, cause basically he could, and Nikki wants to know where Kendra is. He tells her she's with the other henchie. She asks for his name, his real one, he tells her Archie, the name he was baptized with, lol. It sounded like Archie something, so I am using Archie. She wants something to eat, she is hungry. He's gonna go check, but she asks him to wait, but he goes. Nikki thinks to herself she has gotta get outta there. Meantime, Kendra is kicked back with the other henchie, talkin' to her co-hort Dances with Sunglasses, and is crowing about this successful kidnap, they will be millionaires now, celebrate at a luxury hotel and then it's on to the South Seas on some island. Of course, she has to rub it in, if he listens to her, SHE succeeds, doncha know. He tells her to quit braggin' already. Of course, Dances with Sunglasses is the puppet master, er he is pullin' the strings'. Well she passes him besoes over the phone, and for realz tonight. Well, Archie has come in and told the other henchie and Kendra, Nikki woke up hungry and he checks the cooler, which only has beer, figures. So they send him out to get something for Nikki. After Archie goes, Kendra tells the other henchie after this job, get rid of this guy, cause he punched her and it hurt! Hope the hurt lasts for a good long time, jus' sayin'.
On to the kitchen now, where everyone is gathered, except Nelson, they are all eating, when Vikki comes into the room, thinking about how Nikki spent her night. Tomasina asks if there has been any news, and if that's good or bad. Dances with Sunglasses says they have to wait for the call. The Angel doesn't agree, he wants to call the cops. Dances nixes this idea, HE is the head of security and it's his way or the highway, basically, no cops. Polita, our cute little maid, says Salerso is right, cause she saw a movie where the kidnappers killed the people cause they were real pithed that the cops got called. Tomasina tells her to shut it! Tomasina is sure that they'll give Nikki back safe and sound, once the ransom is paid. Guzmancito is really upset and still riddled with guilt. It is on his last nerve the 'nappers haven't called. Well, Dances with Sunglasses, now blames Guzmancito for takin' time off, if he hadn't Nikki would be here, and it's all Guzmancito's FAULT. Well, Guzmancito has a short fuse and goes to hit Dances with Sunglasses, but Jean Marie pullin' on Dances and Arriaga pullin' on Guzmancito break it up. Violence won't get them anywhere. Jean Marie, can I hire him as my personal chef, jus' sayin', is saying he'll make tea, any kind, and of course Dances tells him to shut it! Jean Marie thinks it will calm them down. Noone is buying, though.
Next we have Paula, playin' that piano and Anibal comes in with is tennis racket, and dressed in his whites, this guy is one sharp dresser, jus' sayin', and he says he loves to hear her play and she ought to go back for more lessons, she is so good. Don't know what she was playin' but it did sound familiar. Anyhoo, she asks him again about moving. He is miffed cause they have lived there now for six years, and now she wants to move. She wants a house with a garden. She wants more space. He isn't down with that cause she would be alone when he went on bidness trips and he doesn't like her bein' alone. Well, if not a house, how about a condo, with security! He says he'll think about it and goes. Chrissie meanwhile is waiting for the elevator, with a box of doughnuts, and let me tell you, they sure look yummy, when who should walk out? Viewerville, watch this closely. He says good morning, she says it back, and says the doughnuts look yummy. His favorite is chocolate. Chrissie offers him one, but he doesn't want one, cause he just had breakfast. He asks if she's new to the building, and she says yeah. So he introduces himself, Anibal and she says Chrissie, little does our Chrissie know she is talkin' to her Pappy! She is pleased to meet him, as he is her. She tells him so. She goes, and he thinks what a nice woman. Ruh Roh.
Well, now we are back to waiting for that darn call, cause those evil SOB's, er wretches haven't called. Guzmancito wants to handle the ransom, but of course Dances with Sunglasses nixes that idea. HE'S IN CHARGE, doncha know. He feels responsible for what happened. But they should all feel responsible cause they are a team. Well head henchie, finally calls and asks if the ransom is ready, and did anyone snitch to the cops? No, noone snitched to the federales or the cops. Salsero says they have complied with everything, it's all ready, and where should we " drop" it? Now they have to listen where the drop will be. Meantime, Archie has brought Nikki food, and now she wants to be untied, so she can eat. He unties her and she say's he's way cool, they could have been friends under other circumstances. Now it looks like he is on top of her, or next to her, I can't tell, my cable picture is dark, and there is some heavy breathing, blech. But hold on a sec, Nikki has grabbed Archie's gun, who knew she had AVACADOES!!!! Now back to the ransom call again. Dances is talkin' with head henchie, no funny bidness or the girl, Nikki is dead. Dances says will go as agreed and they want both women. Ms Vikki grabs that phone and tells head henchie she wants her daughter back in one piece, and he tells her the same thing he told Dances with Sunglasses, do everything according to plan and you will. Ms Vikki wants to talk to Nikki, to make sure she's ok. He tells her she can't and to trust him, really, trust him, oye vey!!!! Well she tells him you want the two million dollars get her on the phone already. Head henchie thinks the "old lady" is getting on his last nerve, and in comes Nikki now with that gun, pointed at Archie and now points it at head henchie and he has Kendra round the neck and Nikki is telling head henchie to let Kendra go, or else she is gonna kill him!! Click!
Well Ms Vikki is freaking out now, she heard her girl, she is wayyy upset and they try to calm her down. She's heard her daughter's voice and knows she is alive at least. All these guys want is the money, and as soon as they get it, they'll get Nikki and Kendra back. Dances reminds them, as long as noone else interferes with the negotiations, nothing will go wrong, he'll handle it, handle it. Now Nelson, the A$$HAT, is giving Vikki grief for talking to the 'nappers, she only wanted to hear her girl and she can't think straight right now, of course Nelson tells her to use her brain and of course SHE HAS MADE THINGS WORSE, can I use my cast iron skillet on him now? Please??? Now they dont' know when those good for nothings will call back!
Now back to the upside down hostage situation. Head henchie is threatening to blow Kendra's brains out, and Nikki is wanting to shoot head henchie, please girl, shoot him. Kendra is beggin her to think about what she is doin', don't do it. Head henchie has let her go, and Kendra wants Nikki to surrender the gun, which, Nikki does, boo hiss, shoulda shot head henchie, jus' sayin'. Anyhoo, they warn her not to do that again, or she won't live to tell about it, and of course Kendra is "comforting" her.
Tomasina is thinking of Nikki and what kind of night she spent, and they tell her to cheer up. She'll be home before you know it. Well Tomasina has a visitor, it is Felipe! She thinks he has come to see Guzmancito, and now really isn't a good time, but no, he has come to see her. It's about that lucky number she whispered in his ear yesterday, doncha know. He played the lottery and won! So he has brought her some chocolates. Polita, bless her heart, gives grief to Felipe for spending his son's hard earned money, doncha know, good for her I say, but there shouldn't be any secrets between parents and children. Well, now there is another delivery, for Tomasina! A bunch beautiful red roses, and Jean Marie, Mon Dieu, is it your birthday??? He thinks he is losing his head, in other words, forgot, but no not her birthday. There is a card and it is signed by, guess who??That's right El Turko!!!! My, my Tomasina had no beaus before and now she has two!
Now we have the Angel and Guzmancito in the bodyguard quarters and Guzmancito is feeling responsible for Ms Vikki's grief over her kidnapped daughter and his charge. If he could just catch those bad guys, he'd destroy them, as in beat them to a pulp. Well now he has come up with an idea. He'll use technology. There is a way to track these wretches by using coordinates!
Meantime, back to the kidnapper's lair. Now the head henchie has a tape recorder and he wants Nikki to make a message for her mother, but they are really rough on her, hurting her. Kendra begs her to just do it. The gist was Mommy and Daddy, Kendra and I are fine, please get us outta here! They separate Kendra and Nikki again. Nikki is being handled roughly and Kendra is beggin' them to be gentle with her, don't hurt her, and head henchie says up to her. Nikki is now off with Archie, and Kendra and head henchie are talkin about how they didn't expect Nikki to be so brave as to grab that gun. So now they are going over the plan. Head henchie will deliver Nikki to her Mama once the ransom is paid, but keep Kendra as insurance so to speak, of course after the money split, Dances with Sunglass and Kendra will split to the South Sea Island. Then of course if the police aren't involved they will "set Kendra free".
Of course, the Head of Security, Balvanera, is calling Lucinda, the secretary and tells her to cancel all meetings that Nelson and Ms Vikki have that day, and if Anibal asks, tell him they have meetings outside the office. Click. He is now lookin' for Angel and Guzmancito.
So Guzmancito has called a friend of his in the States named Robert. Guzmancito's accent is very thick and thanks Robert. His friend Robert can track telecommunications, you know, cell phone calls, pinging off towers, cause the 'nappers have been using a private number. Anyhoo, his friend Robert will track the ransom call when it comes in, they can get coordinates and find Kendra and Nikki.
Vikki is sobbing and thinking maybe it is better to call the cops too, those wretches still haven't called. Well, here come Guzmancito and the Angel to the rescue. They explain to Ms Vikki about the telecommunications angle, and the coordinates they can get, and localize the area the calls are coming from. Well, Dances with Sunglasses, says it can't be done. No way, no how, He is HEAD OF SECURITY, and he says no go. It's illegal he says. Well Nelson has had enough and says well kidnapping is illegal, ya think!!! Of course, Dances with Sunglasses is trying to say that he promised he would do as the kidnappers asked, doncha know. Well, Guzmancito has hooked up his laptop to the phone and it rings. It's head henchie warning them, if Ms Vikki gets demanding, he'll hang up. That won't happen. Well to show good will, the head henchie plays that tape Nikki made. Head henchie says they have to do exactly what he tells them, got the money, well yeah, no cops, well yeah, no cops at all, will call tomorrow with the meeting place and well, Guzmancito has the track of where the kidnappers have Nikki and Kendra right on his laptop!!!!! Head hencie has hung up. Of course, everyone is happy but Dances With Sunglasses!!!!!
Avances:
The rescue mission begins with our Hawt Guys in black leather, don't miss it.

Madelaine, loved the title. You write with such great style and humor: "head henchie", "Yeah Zambrano and you are lookin' right at him, jus' sayin'" and "And there is Nelson, fast asleep on the sofa, if he really cared about his little girl, he'd be awake, jus' sayin'. Angel looks at him in disgust and goes" were among my favorites.
Angel did not believe for a minute that Sunglasses was speaking with his mama! Hard to imagine he even has a mother...
And while Tomasina has suitors in quantity, they certainly lack quality! A mob boss or a self-centered gambler. Not much choice there.
Guzmancito is really suffering in silence. And yes, he and Angel care more about Nikki that the rheumy-eyed, pathetic Nelson ever could...Wouldn't people in a crisis only be able to sleep from sheer exhaustion? Nelson was snuggled up and sleeping like the heartless wretch he really is.
I'm not surprised Nikki turned the tables on her captors. People do surprising things - adrenaline and anger kick in and you can do foolish things or take chances you never thought you would. She has spunk and courage.
Loved the hug Angel and Vikki shared. Comforting and heartfelt.
Anibal immediately sensed something when he ran into Chris. The famous call of the blood.
Can't wait for our heros to turn the tables. Let's get Nikki home safe and sound.
Thanks again Madelaine!
Diana
Can't wait for tonight!
I used to think Nicky did not deserve Guzmancito but now that she showed some spunk and feelings for him, i am having second thoughts and think they might actually work together.
Thanks for your deliciously detailed recap. This is turning into a great adventure story filled with daring and intrigue. Loved the touching scene in the library between Angel and Vikki What a man! ...sensitive, caring, understanding, compassionate, communicative, protective, strong, and HANDSOME!
Although he is older, I find Anibal very attractive too, and yes, his clothes are exquisite.
No doubt he has a way with women.
Thanks for all your time in preparing this for us.
He's no Angel or Guzmancito, but I like Zambrano. Hope he sticks around. Right now there aren't enough good guys for the good women.
That was a nice meet cute between father and daughter. I wonder if Crissie was supposed to drop something while holding the donuts, or if they just went with it.
Marta- no we will never get over the nick for guts. I love it, and can't help using it. I too think Dances with Sunglasses will use this to his advantage, about the mole. I too think he will blame the Angel or maybe Guzmancito to get rid of him, he is a professional.
Diana- Wasn't that a shock, when Nikki grabbed that gun? Maybe she has learned a thing or two from Guzmancito. I too agree with you about Nelson and what a way to put it, rheumy eyed and pathetic, I really like that! He is such an Asshat!
Emarie- I can't help the opinions. It is sort of like walking with the characters as I recap. I love giving them "advice", lol. And I too agree with you about Nikki, she is way better than I expected her to be, and I agree with Marta about her self-esteem issues.
Floridia- I am loving the character of Anibal right now. I will have to see what he did to Adriana to make her hate him so much. I know he took her baby and told her the baby died, but why? Can't wait to find that out. Agree with you about the Angel, sigh! What a man, what a man, what a might good man :)
Niece in MD- great catch about Chrissie dropping what looked like a wallet. I think it was accidental and not in the script.She looked so surprised when it fell. I too like Zambrano. He has brains like Angel and Guzmancito do. I wish he had talked to Guzmancito. They would be lookin' for the mole now, jus' sayin'.
Nelson's eyes ... something is terribly wrong with them. I think the actor has had his eyes 'done' or a facelift, or something. He doesn't look like he did in MEPS, IMO.
Emarie- I agree with you about Kendra the ho. She is only lookin' out for herself and she is gonna drop Sunglasses and try and hook up with Nelson, who she thinks is loaded, but actually all that money belongs to Anibal and Vikki, unbeknownst to her, I think. Can't wait for Vikki to find out what is really goin' on.
I think Urban brought this up yesterday, about Nikki or possibly Liliana being Lucia the missing bebe. This should be interesting to find out which one is Lucia. I don't Nelson ever wanted kids either, Urban. He sure is cold to Nikki, and neva, eva has time for her. At least her Mama makes the time to spend with her and she is closer to her mom. It broke my heart a couple of epi's ago, when Nikki told him she wanted him to spend time with her, and he didn't.
When I posted the link to the original Zulianita in the REfugio finale blog, you can get to videos of Los Ricos tambien lloran (the original of Maria la del Barrio), where a young Guillermo Capetillo and a young Edith Gonzalez played the long lost recovered natural son and the adopted daughter of the main couple.
Los ricos tambien lloran - capitulo 100 FIN
it is the final episode of Los Ricos tambien lloran where you can see a very young Guillermo Capetillo and Edith G.
you can also see our 'Mati' from Refugio in a very similar role as the one she had in Refugio.
Yes, Nikki Grabbed the gun, but it's a semiautomatic, you have to cock it--rack the slide before you can shoot it. Oh well, it's a novela/movie.
I'll bet that after Nikki gets back home, she will be quite a bit toned down. Well at least towards the Guzmancito.
the gringo
Vivi- I too agree, if it hadn't been for Kendra being "kidnapped" with Nikki, she would have gotten away. And she did use her brain against that kidnapper, she must have got that from Vikki not Nelson.
LA MARIPOSA on MundoFox
is anyone watching this? it started Tues night, and I am hooked. yes, another novela about the drug industry. The others (La Reina, Escobar) didn't hold my interest, but for some reason, this did.
The protagonists (never seen them before) are compelling to watch.
IMHO, it's well made. they're going to re-run the four episodes this Sunday.
would be nice if i'm not alone in this
--> MundoFox is not available in our area. Bummer.
susanlynn - DWS's theme song will have to be "I wear my sunglasses at night" LOL, and I happen to like that song.
I was very proud of our Nikki last night. I was really hoping that she would succeed... that would have been hiper-cool.
How neat is it that Guzmancito is using such up-to-date technology to track the kidnappers. This is a bit unusual in the TN world.
I'm wanting to to see more of Adriana. She is so goshdarn pretty. Have we seen her is any other shows? She looks familiar but I can't place her. Vivi? Anyone?
As I mentioned before, Turco was one of my all-time favorite villains as El Perico (The Parakeet) a mob boss with an eye for pretty women and an ear for Mexican trios in Mujer de Madera. What a treat to see him again showing great chemistry with Tomasina.
Carlos
Doris and Susanlynn, I too vote for I wear my Sunglasses at Night, I love Cory Hart's music!
Carlos- I looked up the actress that plays Adriana, her name is Natalia Esperon, and it seems she was on En nombre del Amor as Luz Laguillo. I haven't seen her in anything before. She was also in an episode of Muejers Assasinas. Hope that answers the question of where you have seen her before.
Shallowgal- I also don't get MundoFox in my area.
In ENDA did Natalie Esperon as Luz end up with the galan's dad or did she go off on her own to raise Xochitl? I know the Cesar Evora character was enamored with the Purple One. Can't remember.
On to Amores, Guzmancito's dad is such an annoying parasite, I'm rooting for El Turco, even if he's probably killed a few people.
GinCA
Ron, I also got a kick out of that voice altering technology.
Carlos
Zambrano is clever. If I was him, I would watch my back! :)
"Sigh, these two. So who comes to interrupt, you ask? I'll give you two guess, and the first doesn't count. It's the A$$HAT of course"
I love Nelson's new nickname. :D He deserves it, he acted like a complete selfish jerk in this episode.
The "Guzmáncito and Nikki thinking of each other" scene was sweet.
"Jean Marie, can I hire him as my personal chef"
Could we share him?
Oh God, oh God, oh God, Paula's worst nightmare came true, Papa Annie met lil' Chrissie. I agree, Aníbal looks great in that outfit.
Wow, ikki has guts, and of course she can take care of herself.
Tomasina and her two suitors: adorable. They brought sunshine into this grim episode.
Dances with Sunglasses may be given a new nickname: I'm In Charge. Poor boy, he's so used to his idiot henchmen and that stooopid Nelson that he didn't expect his colleagues to use their brains. Now his master plan is over.
