Amores Verdaderos #29 Wed 12/19/12 My Eyes Adored You; The Friendship Cake; The Late Night Swim
I am taking a break from baking Christmas cookies to write this recap. I have been making a traditional German Christmas cookie called Lebkuchen with a touch of the Italian (one side dipped in dark chocolate) and of course Snickerdoodles. I only mention this cause Chrissie gives Ms Vikki something in the baked good department. What you ask? Please read on. Title of this recap courtesy of Frankie Valli.
We start this epi with Nikki down for the count. We also have a meeting with Ms Vikki and Chrissie in Ms Vikki's office.
In the outer office, Gilda has taken a delivery of a package. She reads the card that comes with it and of course it is, wait for it, a package from Odette Longoria containing a product she represents and she wants the employees of Meta Imagen (henceforth known as M.I.) for them to enjoy. The nerve of her, Gilda says to Lucinda, who is lookin' mighty verklempt! Gilda calls for the Angel, who has come back with those copies. She is trying to stop him from going into the office where Ms Vikki and the Angel's wifey pooh are. She gives him what looks like two binders to make more copies to keep him busy. Three copies of one, four of the other. The Angel is like, hey wait a minute, I am Ms Vikki's bodyguard and I should be watching over her. Well, there seems to be noone else to do this, so the Angel has gotta do it. So Angel is gonna go, but notices the box of stuff Odette sent. Gilda opens the box and it's another La Vaca product just like the cheese, but this time it is drinkable yogurt. Gilda wants to toss it before Ms Vikki sees it, but the Angel manages to get a bottle of it to try, and tells Gilda all about that wonderful cheese he tried from the same company. Gilda warns him not to let Ms Vikki see this or else he'll be in trouble. No worries he says, hides the bottle in his suit jacket and goes. Gilda has put the box back under the desk.
Now to Ms Vikki and Chrissie. Chrissie is there to thank Ms Vikki for saving the Angel's life. Ms Vikki says she can imagine how Chrissie felt, but Chrissie says, meh not so much. I'd just die if I lost my sweet Angel. Ruh Roh.
So now we have Guzmancito and Nikki in the eating part of the club and he sits her down to look at the whack she got upside the head. Nikki is pithed and says Lili will pay for what she did. Nikki says she'll go blind, doncha know from that whack upside the head, yeah right. Guzmancito has already called for some ice to soothe the whining girl. Here comes the waiter with the ice and Guzmancito applies it to that face and she is ooowwwing about it and it's so cold, doncha know. Guzmancito tells her the ice is cold yes, but will reduce the bruise and swelling. Oh, she can't stand Lili, the sore loser. Guzmancito tells Nikki in that they are both alike, she and Lili, cause they both hate to lose, and besides this could have been avoided if Nikki hadn't kicked Lili and caused the competition to be unfair. She doesn't want to be compared to Lili. Oh noes, she doesn't. Now Nikki thinks she'll be ugly cause of the bruise. Once again, Guzmancito has to assure her she could never be ugly. Now she wants him to put his lips together and, wait for it, to blow on her face. What were y'all thinking???? For shame, er um, anyhoo, he blows on her face and they smile at each other and we interrupt this scene for a little ditty called My Eyes Adored You, by Frankie Valli
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you, so close, so close and yet so far.
Back to Gilda and there is some call about cheques and accounts and she asks Lucinda if she got the cheques to the accounts and Lucinda says yeah, but she needs to see Ms Vikki right away, like yesterday and it's urgent, doncha know. Gilda gives her a funny look, but says ok, she'll check with Ms Vikki.
So back to Vikki and Chrissie. Ms Vikki is telling Chrissie she doesn't have to thank her and she did what anyone would do in that situation, and by the way, why did you come visit me? Chrissie has brought what looks like a cake, or a round corn bread, made from her Mama's recipe, as a kind of peace offering and Ms Vikki takes it and thanks her, when the phone rings, and Ms Vikki gets it, it's about Lucinda and she tells Gilda to send her on in. Chrissie doesn't want to take up any more of Ms Vikki's time, but Ms Vikki tells her it's ok and Lucinda comes in. Lucinda is there as a Spy Who Came In From the Cold so to speak. She tells Ms Vikki that she is tendering her resignation, effective immediately and Ms Vikki wants to know because, well it seems Lucinda has gotten an offer from Odette Longoria for three times the pay she was getting from Ms Vikki, doncha know, and besides Lucinda is having financial problems and that is why she is jumping ship, so to speak and she's sorry. Ms Vikki takes it in stride says best of luck to ya, and shakes Lucinda's hand and she goes. Well, after Lucinda goes, Chrissie wants to know what type job Lucinda just quit, cause she has a friend lookin' for work, and by the by that would be Guzmancito's sister, Bea, ya know the bodyguard for your daughter? Ms Vikki is very happy and tells Chrissie to send her on today. Chrissie is very excited and goes to go, turns back around and shakes Ms Vikki's hand and then wonders if it is safe for her to go out this way, cause her hubby could be out there, but Ms Vikki says no worries, you can go out that way and she goes.
Now we have the Angel in the copy room, makin' copies, and a guy says he'll sort them for the Angel and here comes Dances Without Sunglasses for a change wondering what the Angel is doin' makin' copies, did he go from bodyguard to office worker, or what? Dances W/O Sunglasses has never had to make a copy for his boss, jus' sayin'. Salsero thinks that the Angel is "whipped" by the boss, well Angel has had enough, and grabs Salsero by the neck and tells him well, I wouldn't talk buddy cause that lipstick stain on Nell-son's shirt was for realz, he knows who was really wearing that shirt, and Salsero was coverin' up for his womanizing boss.
At the Club, Anibal has once again beaten Antonio at tennis, when Anibal's phone rings and its Commandante Robles informing him that they have caught Espanto that kidnapper of Nikki, but he ain't talkin', no siree bob, he ain't and won't tell them who was the mastermind of the kidnap plot. Anibal wants a favor and asks Commandante Robles to get him an interview with this wretch.
Vikki has called her Papi Anibal about that theivin', stealing beyotch Odette, who not only is trying to steal their accounts but also her employees and tells him about Lucinda. Ms Vikki would like to kill Odette and if she were right in front of her, she'd pull Odette's hair out, what hair there is. Anibal tells her to relax already and Ms Vikki says she will, besos and hangs up. Ms Vikki can't believe there are such disgusting, er, despicable people like Odette in the world.
Ok, now Angel is back in the front part of the office where Gilda is and gets another one of those yogurt drinks. He tells Gilda they are not only good, but great, and Gilda warns him not to let Ms Vikki see him or all hell will hit the fan. He is drinking it now, cause he couldn't finish before with the Salsero face time, doncha know. Well, he drinks it and has an enormous yogurt mustache on his lip, and Ruh Roh, here comes Ms Vikki wanting to know wazup. He has her copies, now she notices the mustache, as he desperately tries to hide that La Vaca product. She is very suspicious and wants to see the bottle, he ain't showing it, she says it's ok to drink something in the office and by the way what is it? Show her already. She gets a look at the La Vaca product and literally has a cow. Ruh Roh, she calls Angel a traitor for drinking this product, it's the competition after all. She never thought the Angel would betray her, oh, noes. She goes into her office.
Meanwhile, back at the Angel's home, when he is there that is, Chrissie tells Bea about the job at M. I. Bea is very reluctant at first, doesn't want to cause trouble for her lil bro, he doesn't want her to know who he works for, but Chrissie tells her this is a great opportunity for Bea, great salary, take the job and then tell that to Frankie. So Bea decides not to let this opportunity slip by and she goes.
Back to the "traitorous Angel" and a pithed off Ms Vikki. She never thought the Angel would ever betray her, not him, oh noes. Well, the Angel tries to explain about flavor, the naturalness of the product, and Ms Vikki is telling him to wipe his mouth clean, cause that mustache of yogurt is still there, lol. He tells her it's good for the stomach and it's all natural and what could be better. She says he stabbed her in the back, he isn't into back stabbing and tells her so. He was only being honest with her.
Now to Polita and Lili after the whack upside the head of Nikki. They are in the kitchen of the Balvanera manse. Lili is telling Polita she put her Papi's job in jeopardy and she'll probably be sacked from her job, cause she did something terrible. Polita wants her to spill the frijoles, but Lili wants to talk to Nikki. Nikki comes in about this time and wants to know what Lili wants to talk to her about. the dirty girl. Lili tells her she is there to tell her she is leaving her job, and please not to take it out on her Papi. Nikki tells her no worries, she really likes super, superman Angel, and what happens between Lili and Nikki is sort of like what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas if you get my drift. Lili thanks her and Nikki also adds you don't have to quit your job, I won't say nothin' to my super, super Moms either! Lili thanks her again and Polita wants to go , but Nikki makes her stay as a witness, and she tells Lili she wants an apology, which Lili very nicely does. Well that ain't good enough for Nikki, oh, no siree bob, it ain't, she wants Lili on her knees, in front of her, apologizing, can I kick Nikki in the shin, jus' sayin'. So with great humiliation, Lili gets on her knees, while Polita is makin' faces at Nikki behind her back, and apologizes once again. This time beyotch Nikki accepts and goes, while Lili does a unyoga like chant of I hate her, I hate her, I hate her!
Now we are in the hoosegow, where Anibal is confronting Espanto. Commandante Robles informs Espanto that this is the grandpapi of the young girl he kidnapped, Nikki is her name, and Anibal wants to talk to him. Anibal informs Espanto that he could go to prison for life, Anibal will assure that, unless he talks. He also tells Espanto he can hire a top notch lawyer for him to get the sentence reduced and on top of that Anibal takes a wad of money out of a bag and sits it in front of Espanto, while Espanto is fondling the money, Anibal tells him to give up the mastermind of this kidnap plot. Espanto evades, denies and he knows nothink, doncha know. It was just him and Archie, noone else. Anibal thinks that dog don't hunt and tells Espanto so. Well Anibal grabs that money back, and tells Espanto his life ain't worth nothing to his accomplices and when he wants to talk, let Anibal know thru the Commandante. They haul Espanto out of there, and the Commandante tells Anibal, told ya so, he ain't eva gonna talk, and Anibal calls Espanto a wretch. But everyone has a price and Espanto will give up some info sooner, rather than later.
So now we have a smiling Ms Vikki and a contrite Angel and he asks if she trusts him again? Of course she does, her life is in the Angel's hands, 24/7 after all. The Angel wants her to trust him not like an employee but like a brother, and she says they have a bond, beyond that, beyond what he says, saved by the phone. It is Gilda informing Ms Vikki that the photo shoot is about to begin. So Ms Vikki and the Angel go to the photo shoot and it features Slutty Mc Slutterson (Thanks Susanlynn) aka Kendho in a bathing suit, and Aldo has stopped the shoot to adjust the lights to something softer to really light her and the bathing suit up, so to speak and there is a screen behind her with that pool from the hacienda. The whole room is a big green screen, except for the small one with that video. Nell-son wants Ms Vikki to take a look at the video and Salsero pulls the Angel over to talk to him about Nell-son and Kendho and how what is between his boss and the model isn't what it seems, Que Que What??? The Angel says both of them, that would be Salsero with Sunglasses now and The Angel know what is really goin' on there and that Angel won't runtelldat, he isn't a tattletale, doncha know. Now Ms Vikki gets a phone call about Bea waiting in her office. Ms Vikki says she'll be right there. She hangs up and tells Nell-son bout Lucinda leaving and why. Then Ms Vikki goes up to Kendho, poor Ms Vikki if she only knew and asks her how she is. She tells Ms Vikki she still has nightmares about what happened to her and Nikki, yeah right, but little by little she is getting over it, and Vikki thinks she is a strong woman, and hey, what about that job offer of Odette's for Kendho. Well, fogetabouit, she is loyal to M.I. oh, my ears are burning from these lies. First my eyes, now my ears. Well, Ms Vikki is glad Kendho is staying, says she is special to Ms Vikki, oh, my ears and Kendho gives her a hug and tells her she is like her family, as she grabs Nell-son's hand behind Ms Vikki's back and the Angel sees the whole thing. He is displeased. The hug breaks up, Ms Vikki never saw a thing and Ms Vikki tells the Angel to stay while she takes care of her little meeting. So the Angel does an unexpected thing and as shooting begins again, gets in front of that camera, says greetings to Santa Rita, my wife and daughter, whom I love, and everyone cracks up, by the by this scene looked unscripted, jus' sayin'.
So now it's Ms Vikki and Bea in Ms Vikki's office. Bea asks Ms Vikki if she has talked to Guzmancito. No she hasn't. She doesn't want her bro to know and by the way here is her resume and she doesn't even know if Ms Vikki will hire her. Well, Ms Vikki likes the resume, seems Bea has been to bidness school, has computing skills and can handle files, Bea says yeah, but she has never worked, but she is willing and able to learn. Well, Ms Vikki calls Gilda in, tells Bea she is hired, and Bea is over the moon, but that ain't all. She wants Gilda to take Bea to the legal department to sign a contract and also Bea will be making the same amount of money as a personal assistant to a CEO. Wow, Bea is really over the moon now and thanks Ms Vikki profusely and Ms Vikki welcomes her to M.I. Internacional. After Bea goes, Ms Vikki thinks this woman inspires trust, and why not, she is Guzmancito's sissy after all.
Now to the kitchen of the Balvanera manse, and Lili, Polita, and Tomasina are havin' a little cafecito and Lili is telling Tomasina exactly what happened and Polita is getting to hear it too. Polita tells Tomasina bout how Lili had to get on her knees to apologize to that beyotch, well not beyotch, but you get the drift Nikki and Tomasina is Que Que What? But now Lili is ok with it as long as her Papi's job is safe and hers too. Guzmancito has come in and says oh, Lili you are still here? Guzmancito wants to know if she wants to see her Papi who is working out in the gym but Lili says nah, will see him before I go. In comes Nikki, with dark sunglasses, is she channeling Salsero, anyhoo, she is going to a karaoke bar, Guzmancito is coming with, and please change the clothes to something casual and not like a funeral employee clothes, okay!!!! Nikki goes and Lili says didn't know you went out to parties with her. Guzmancito corrects that and says he has to go to guard her, not from choice. Guzmancito excuses himself to change, but Nikki has come back in to give Guzmancito a reminder to hurry the hell up, she hasn't got all day, OKAY, and Tomasina wants to know if Ms Vikki knows of Nikki's mis planes, of course she does, kisses for Tomasina, she loves her, and tells Guzmancito let's go already! She goes again and Polita does some sighing thing, and smiles.
Now we are at the pool with the Angel doing some aikido moves and stretching. Well, he starts stripping off his clothes, first the shirt then the pants and oh m gee does he look good in a bathing suit, jus' sayin, oh what, y'all in Viewerville thought this was a nude swim, meh, not so much and he dives into the pool. Unbeknownst to him, Ms Vikki is looking through the French door, admiring the view, so to speak. She comes out to the pool area, while he is in the pool and takes her pink robe off and yes she has a nice black bathing suit on. Jus' sayin'. Anyhoo, the Angel is startled and apologizes for using the pool. She says it's ok if he swims, she is just going to get her feet wet, he knows very well she is afraid of the water. So she goes to the steps of the pool, holding on to the ladder with both arms and gets her feet wet. The Angel can't believe she is still afraid, especially after what she did, went into the raging rio, got that boat and went for help. She can't get over that quickly cause it was a childhood trauma, doncha know. He wants her to get in the pool with him. She ain't no way, no how, not in this lifetime. He calls her a liar, say what??? She said she trusted him and now she is backing out of that? Did she say that? He wants her hand, just her hand and to come in the water. She gives that hand and makes him promise to stay in the shallow end, which they are in. He tells her to take deep cleansing breaths and to let go of the fear, he wants to teach her to float. So she puts her arm around him and he tells her he will teach her to float and he picks her up and has her supine in his arms as he is telling her to kick her legs and she is trying to move her arms a bit. Well, a bit of water has come into the Angel's eye and he drops Ms Vikki into the water. He is trying to clear his eyes, and Ms Vikki is terrified, thinking she is going to drown and goes right down. The Angel finally sees what is goin' on and rescues her and she is holding on very tight to the Angel. She is holding on to him for dear life and he tells her to calm down she just slipped, she is ok now. What a clinch they are in, and guess who is playing spy now??? Well it is Dances W/O his Sunglasses watching this little scene of the save and thinks, hmmmm there is more here than meets the eye and there is yet another spy, it's Lili, who is verklempt at what she is seeing, and starts to get tears in her eyes, and here is where our epi ends.
Avances:
Nikki and Guzmancito at the karaoke partay and Guzmancito is macking on some girl as Nikki watches all upset.
Kendho gets a phone call and is shocked.

Thanks Madelaine! I am back in FL! safe and sound...
have to do many things today but had to say i loved the title and intro to the recap. will save reading and commenting for later on today, full agenda until evening. But i will be recapping tonight so i need to read this one and try to get up to speed with the novela. In PR it is a few weeks ahead of us so i have no idea what has happened the last few days... but i will catch up.
I got a glimpse of Cuando el AMor manda, the Fer Colunga one, and have mixed feelings... since Blanca can't act that well, and he is doing comedy, something fairly new to him, it was awkward... at the least, maybe a bit over the top.
more to come later... full agenda today.
in PR got my grandson to go to two beaches I used to go regularly as a kid, AND he had his first open top jeep ride up and down mountain roads... that was fun, and he loved both of those experiences...

Madelaine, you shine a bit brighter daily. "My Eyes Adored you"? Inspired. So perfect for Vikki and Angel this...Isn't one of the other lines "though I never laid a hand on you?". Well, somewhat true here. A hand, but an affectionate, caring one. So far... OT, I saw Frankie and the Four Seasons many, many years ago and they were great.
I am salivating at your description of Lebkuchen. YUM!
So many wonderful lines: "She gets a look at the La Vaca product and literally has a cow", "oh, my ears are burning from these lies. First my eyes, now my ears", "unyoga", and "hoosegow (great word). You made reliving last night's episode terrific fun.
A lot happened last night. Bea gets a 9 to 5; Espanto is bribed but not budging; Vikki cried over drunken milk; Chrissie forgives Vikki; Lili misinterprets a swimming lesson; Nikki regresses (again) to imperious, loathsome, childlike behavior. And there was even more.
Madelaine, I also wondered if Yanez' cheerful on camera greeting was spontaneous. Kendra really appeared to be genuinely laughing and it looked like Nelson was trying to hide a laugh...
The Guzman blowing gently on Nikki's face might have been cringeworthy had another actor done it. But Rulli is adorable and that little smile made the scene work. I wish though that he had seen Nikki ordering Lili to kneel before her. OMG...
I also loved Vikki's swimsuit. She and Angel connect, have fun and trust each other implicitly.
ITA with everyone who love the staff. they are all great but Polita has a slight edge. Her facial expressions are priceless and she can look so innocent (even while making faces behind Nikki's back).
After tomorrow, I will be out of work for several weeks and not able to read the recaps. I can't say how much I will miss them!!!
Thanks again Madelaine. A wonderful read as always.

And how could I have forgotten to add that Angel looked awesome in his swimwear. Completely obliterated any lingering shivers from seeing Nelson's hairy chest way too many times.

Good morning, y'all. I edited the recap and added that line from the song that I forgot to put in.
Marta- Glad you are back and it sounds like you had a wonderful time. Glad your grandson got to experience the beaches and the mountains, your trip must have been so much fun.
Diana- I added the line of the song I left out of the recap. Thanks for letting me know. I have never seen Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, but they have always been a favorite of mine. We will miss you here for the next several weeks. Have very Happy Holidays and see you here when you get back :)

"Hoosegow" is the perfect word here for jail since it comes from the Mexican Spanish "juzgado" or tribunal.
Madelaine - Thanks. Love the way you cover all the action. And your cookies sound delightful.
Marta - What a wonderful trip. I didn't have my first open-top jeep ride on a mountain till my 30s.
Miss Vickie just came in to get her feet wet? Sure - who's she kidding?
The look on Polita's face when Lili kneeled before Nikki - very moving.
I like the idea of Anibal following the food trail to Cris, so I was disappointed that he didn't somehow wind up with a slice of Cris's bread.
So both Salsero and Lili see the Angel-Vickie clench. This TN really knows how to end on a cliffhanger. Is it possible Lili will stop telling her mom what a buena persona Miss Vickie is? Will Salsero come up with a diabolical plan that works for once?

Pepe- thanks for the hoosegow word in Spanish. I like that the word came from that. Way cool :)
Niece in MD- They do do a good cliffhanger in this TN. Yeah, I wonder what Salsero is gonna do and poor Lili is seeing something that looks bad, but really isn't. Knowing Lili she will probably talk to her Papi about it, before she says anything about Ms Vikki I think.

Great work Mads! And the cookies sound delicious.
I laughed and laughed during that scene when Vicky had a cow about the yogurt. I was hoping that she would eventually reveal that she was joking, but nope. She was dead serious about feeling "betrayed" by her staff eating the products promoted by the competition. It's not like she's the dairy company owner. What does it matter if the staff at the ad company eat whatever they want? They haven't signed a contract to be spokespeople! In any case, it provided me with a laugh, and it all ended well. Loved the yogurt moustache. :)
I really hope Lili speaks to her dad first and gets a straight answer about what was happening in the pool, BEFORE saying anything to Cris. That would be like throwing a bomb on an already hot flame.
I didn't quite understand filming that ad of Kendra on a green screen, when they have access to the real thing at the country house. It did give yet another opportunity for Kendra to show off her awesome bod in front of everyone, Nelson included. You would think HE would suggest a trip to the country house, minus Vicky, to film the ad.

Vivi- I think Nell-son is really a dim bulb as far as planning anything, he always leaves that to Kendho or Salsero. Por Dios, he never uses his brain, it must be all that chest hair blocking his brain cells, :)
Loved your recap, Madelaine! Thank you so much, it is so very much appreciated!
I was also puzzled by Vicki's complete melt-down over Angel's drinking the yogurt. LOL, calm down lady!
Re Nelson's chest hair. I have no objection to chest hair on men. Whatever naturally grows, should grow! Or not, he should have whatever look suits him. But if any of our fave galanes wants to go natural, I have no problem with that. (Guzmancito has a little chest hair, right? And Rogelio in LQNPA had chest hair and that certainly wasn't an issue.)
But Nelson is just yuck. That's the problem. I have no desire to see him without his shirt on, and have no desire to see him getting it on with the butt floss girl (Slutty McSlutterson) either. Yuk yuk yuk.

I forgot: I think in the avances that it looks like the girls at the party slipped Guzmancito a roofie, right? That would explain his amorous behavior with the other girl (which causes Nikki much distress). Hitting on party girls while on the clock would be not Guzmancito's style ordinarily.
Elvira-you hit the nail on the head about the chest hair. It isn't that I object to it so much, it is the character of Nelson that makes it yukky, including the red eyes. He looks like a wolf, jus' sayin', but acts like a sheep, easily led. And you are right about the ruffie. I do love the way this TN leaves us hanging with just enough info.
I have a question, I couldn't find this word cause I looked it up phonetically so maybe someone can tell me what it means. Sometimes Kendho calls Salsero pocheese, that is a phonetic spelling. What exactly is she calling him?
Puchis= "wow", "excellent", "cool" or any expression of admiration in Guatemala.
I just think it's a non-sensical cutesy nickname she calls him.

The other info I found on puchis is that it's usually used when you are lightly scolding someone you care about. So it's a cutesy nickname, but usually only used when you're giving the person a hard time about something. I don't think we have an equivalent in English for something like that.
Vivi- thanks so much for the meaning of puchis, she calls him that alot and I wondered why. It does sound cutesy when she uses it for him :)
Madelaine - Thank you for the recap. I'm a big Frankie Vallie/Four Seasons fan, saw "The Jersey Boys" show when it came here a couple years ago, etc.
Vikki having a temper tantrum over Angel drinking the competition's yogurt was absolutely ridiculous.
Next, what was she doing at the swimming pool, wearing a suit, when she is terrified of water? We all know she was not planning to swim, and I doubt she knew Angel was in there, either. That really made no sense to me except as a plot propeller so that Lili could see them together. (I'm surprised DWS didn't take blackmail pics with his cellphone)
My telenovela beanie hat is firmly planted on my head. Gah.

Doris- Your telenovela beanie hat must ALWAYS be in place for this tn. At least it's a fun tn, with intentionally funny moments.
Chest hair isn't an issue for me either. Actually, it's not even the hair on Nelson's chest.
It's Nelson's chest. Hairy or not. Period.

Doris, I think Vikki was having a temper tantrum cause Lucinda had just quit, stolen by Odette, and maybe Vikki thought that the Angel may defect next lol, but I agree with Vivi, beanie hat firmly in place and this is a fun romp of a TN.
Diana, lol, so agree with you about Nell-son :)

Madeline, I was on the floor through most of your recap, donchya know. Loved it!!
I had to LOL when Anibal brought all the pesos to the jail to give to the kidnapper if he would spill the frijoles about who was behind the kidnapping. Can you imagine doing that in the US? Well, probably a lot worse things happen in the US justice system, but only in Mexico can you pay off a suspect to tell you who kidnapped a family member. Just sayin'
Angel is a natural fish in the water. He reminds me of a big, graceful dolphin. Loved the swim scene, but there will be two hells to pay---one when DWS uses the info against them and when Lili confronts her dad or spills it to Chris.
As for Nill-son, el es asco (repugnant, disgusting) from head to toe.

P.S. When I said there will be two hells to pay, I wasn't spoiling because I have no idea what will happen as a result of DWS and Lili seeing the swim scene. Just guessing here.

On Nelson's chest, I have no problem with the hair. My preference is either no hair or a lot of hair. He's lean and in shape, great posture. It's those moves with KendraHo I can't stand. I'm curious enough to want to see him make love to Vickie to see if I'd like his moves with her better.
Lili didn't tell Cris she had the sympathy pains in her stomach when Angel was at the cabin cause she didn't want to worry her. I'm going to bet she won't say anything to Cris, but I do hope she'll talk to Angel. Angel and Cris have done a great job raising her. Nelson and Vickie really should be ashamed of Nikki's behavior. Hope Vickie finds out about her having Lili on her knees. Polita, time to blab.

Anon 4:10- You are so right about the bribe, never happen here, and in front of the Commandante to boot, lol. Agree with you about Angel, sigh, he is like a dolphin he is very graceful.
Niece in MD- I too hope Polita opens her mouth, accidentally on purpose, to Ms Vikki about what beyotch Nikki did to Lili serves Nikki right.

Thanks, Madelaine
Terrific as always. I had missed more than I realized last night.
Aribeth or anyone who saw the cake scene the other night (which I didn't; I saw the Baileys) think that Vicky did a little double take when she saw the delicious-looking cake that Chris had made for her ---- knowing that Angel is accustomed to excellent cooking from his wife, somewhat of an expert which Vicky is not?
I am posting very late because I was up and out early this morning.

Floridia- no matter how late your comments are always welcome. I dont' think Vikki knows how to cook. I only saw the Bailey's scene too. I have never seen Ms Vikki in the kitchen making anything, just getting water or juice. That's probably why she did a double take, lol, when Chrissie gave her that cake and told her she got it from her Mama's recipe, but then again, when Ms Vikki was little Chrissie's Mama, Candelaria worked for Anibal as Pilar's nurse so maybe she has seen this cake before? Just a thought.
Madelaine,
A very intriguing and astute deduction about the cake...we'll see.............

Thank you for the recap, Madelaine!
Oh God, the yoghurt scene was hilarious. Vicky is just like her half-sister: both are queens of overreacting.
The one with Arriaga threatening Salsero was intense and great, too.
And Nikki was sooo obnoxious in this episode. She's a woman of extremes: one minute she's sweet and nice, and the next she turns into a mean brat.
I loved the swimming pool scene, aside from the obligatory "aikido" moves and Victoria's completely illogical "I just wanted to get my feet wet" excuse, but hey, this is just a telenovela, isn't it.

"she gets a look at the La Vaca product and literally has a cow"
"she is loyal to M.I. oh, my ears are burning from these lies. First my eyes, now my ears."
"In comes Nikki, with dark sunglasses, is she channeling Salsero"
:DDD
I love your writing style.
