Caray, Caray!

Thank you for the speedy and fun recap! Here on the west coast they cut off the show to show the jet with Jenni Rivera's remains taxiing into the airport - over and over. So your recap is much appreciated, as I didn't get to see a lot of the end.
 

Ditto what Maggie said. They preempted part of the show for a special breaking-news broadcast. For well over an hour. To announce that the plane with Jenni's remains had landed. And show aerial shots of the airport (no interior shots, no people shots, no shots of cars with people, just aerial shots). For over an hour.

Great recap, Bill. I'm so glad that you gave us good coverage of the last part of the show, the part that was preempted.

When Fernando was on the set, cameras rolling, I fully expected that when his "costar" came out it would be Angelica in her birthday suit.

Pluto is losing ground fast. YEAH! The way he snatched that file off Helena's desk, I wanted to smack him. The more he loses his grip on Helena, the more he loses his grip on his cool. In the real world, where the Sweet Young Thing isn't blind and oblivious, that would be a HUGE turnoff. But in TN-world she never notices that her suitor has become her stalker and wants to be her jailer.

 

Thanks, Ithabill. Sorry I've been a lurker. Enjoying the show, but more so because of you recappers who explain what I missed.
 

Ithabill, thank you for the recap!
Eva sure gave her opinion on Modesto having another household. I love when she is on her soapbox for all of the little beautiful women. I also liked Eva's talking to Renato to keep him honest. I sort of feel sorry for him because he is between a rock and hard place with all the conflicting advice he is getting. You get the feeling he needs to keep this job for whatever hidden reason/research he is there. Fernando sure got his! I hope it is just the first of many!

The coming attractions say "Lunes". it looks like there is a two hour show of Corona de Lagrimas... Boo Hoo!

Fernando - Hilarious!
Renato - did he really admit to being gay?

Since when is the Virgencita the patron saint of sluts?! Too funny!
 

Thanks for the fun recap Bill. I'm in LA as well and missed Helena confronting Eva, but I did see an agitated Helena going up against Mimi and I appreciate Mimi's unconditional friendship with JC. She owes JC nothing yet she is a true friend by calming Helena down allowing her to have a seat and wait for Eva to show up. Mimi gives nothing away. (As far as my very poor Spanish can detect...feel free at all times to correct me). I'll say it again, "what a great broad"!!. I hope Mimi receives all the love she deserves in a happy ending to this novella! What is the plan that PLuty has with Montes? Who are they framing? It sounds like they are stepping up their game because Helena is starting to get in the way. Are they going to discredit Helena or Eva or Rebecca?
 

Lol Anon 11:18 "since when is the Virgincita the patron saint of sluts?" As a practicing RC I find this........hilarious. Mary is blushing in the Christmas manger on my front lawn!!

What's the name of 'bug eyes' the money laundering lawyer? Is that Montes ? I don't know how but I am getting his name mixed up with the beefcake that was Eva's alleged ex boyfriend.
 

Emilia, welcome! I'm glad you came out of lurkdom. As noted in the "Care and Feeding of Recappers" post on the sidebar, readers' posts are a recapper's only "payment" for their work, and if they're like me it's gratifying to know that someone is reading it.

Anon 11:18, Anon 11:22, Anon 11:33, and any other Anon's out there, can I please ask a favor of you? Could you please call yourself something so we can call you by that handle? It doesn't have to be your name - it can just be a single letter, or you can call yourself Broccoli or Pillbug or Carburetor. Anything! It makes it easier to refer to people's comments. Thanks.

Max Montes is an old man who retired from the travel agency where Samantha worked (Samantha was the one who had an abortion). To take revenge on JC, Samantha worked with Pluto in the fraud - she got her bodybuilder boyfriend (BB BF) to testify at the GI board meeting that JC was in cahoots with the competition. The BB BF used "Max Montes" as his alias. Anon, that's why you confuse them.

 

Thanks so much Ithabill. This was hilarious.

I loved Helena pacing & sitting & pacing & sitting. She did a nice comic turn there.

'Virgencita, patron saint of sluts" very funny.

Yes, Pluti does seem to be getting desperate. I think that he intends to frame Rebecca for the fraud that Mendoza is helping him with -- but I also think that he intends to ruin the Playa Majuaga project by making it go over budget & that will put Helena out of a job and make her dependent on him when the marry and he gets to install her in her wifely and obedient place. What a sleaze.

I agree that the way he grabbed that folder off her desk should have been a big red flag for her, but Helena is still too blinded by his shiny suits to see clearly when he is in the room.

really good show.

they're showing this weeks episodes on Sunday again, from 2-7pm. they don't have English captions in the first run at 9pm, and do at midnight and Sunday re-runs.
 

If you missed the announcement, tonight is Teleton on Uni, so no show.

The recap for Wednesday's show had several comments about Camil's acting, so I e-mailed what y'all said. He replied, "Thank you for sharing this! Sure made me happy."
 

Don't forget Pluto has also created a fake construction company and gotten everybody to agree to throw the beach project to his shadow company. He's planning to siphon off the money that way.
 

You had some great lines, Bill, especially the octopus theme.

Lucia leaps in the air and gloms onto him like an octopus with a tasty fish.
He makes a face like a fish gasping for air as she squeezes the life out of him.
Eva is not buying the octopus and the fish story and peels Lucia's suckers off Renato.
 

Thanks Paula, for explaining the difference between Max Montes and Señor Mendoza. Mendoza looks dangerous and seems to have enough smarts to do some real damage to reputations. His eyes scare the crap out of me. If he messes with mi nina, Helena, she has my permission to remove here 5 inch, creme colored tacones and stab his bug eyes out with them. I'm officially praying to the Virgincita for this! Gertie, (formerly anon 11:22)
 

Thanks Ithabill!

OK - I have a comment about something that is REALLY bugging me. Helena did it several times last night.

If a woman's skirt is so short that she has to put her hands between her legs every time she sits down, then it's TOO SHORT! It looks very crude doing that and it really calls attention! I can't imagine doing this in polite company. Kendra on AV had a skirt so short last night that it actually looked like she grabbed her crotch when she put her hand between her legs as she sat down.

The standing up and pulling the skirt down is pretty ridiculous too but not nearly so rude looking.

Sorry - it really got to me last night!

Rant off. :)

P.S. Hubby says the actresses should just wear underwear and not worry about it - LOL!
 

Thanks to all of this week's recappers (Ezra, Melinama, TJ, Bill) for your helpful and hilarious work.
It's been a busy week, so I haven't written earlier.

Chuckled at the "virgincita as the patron saint of sluts." Of course, Rebe knows that she's special, so she can have any saint she wants as a protector.

Fernando in the commercial was funny enough that I forgave him his recent stupidities.

Loved Eva putting the muscle on Renato to haul him away for their little "chat," along with her other comic business. Paula, kudos for sharing the praise with Camil himself and letting us hear his reaction.

Laughed at Güera's comment on Helena being blinded by Pluti's shiny suits.

La Paloma

 

Bill thanks for this great recap and to you too TJ. I wasn't able to comment on Wednesday's recap. Loved that infomercial with Fern lol. Too funny. He should have stuck with it cause he really was good at it. I too was waiting for Angie to make an appearance.

Renato has a decision to make that's for sure. Eva can see right through him. Renato really is a mystery. When he investigated the fraud he thought Pluti had done it. So what is Renato's real agenda I wonder?

Loved Anon 11:18's comment about the Virgincita, lol. Rebe still continues to pray to her though, lol.
