Amorcito Corazón Discussion #189-193 Jan. 7-11
In spite of Marisol’s efforts, evil abuela tells the younger Maris that Fer is in jail for drug trafficking as of course she believes he is guilty and wants to expose the kind of person he is. This sharing causes Marifer, the youngest, to have a severe asthma attack and if you watch Horny actually rolls her eyes when it happens – WITCH!!! They all head off the hospital and Lucia joins them. Thankfully Marifer is OK though Marilu is vexed they were kept in the dark. But (say it with me everyone) we know it’s the últimos capítulos because the girls realize Horny is evil, blame her for Marifer’s incident, and request she leave the hospital.
Barf and Knuckles have a confrontation because he’s cancelled their dinner b/c he claims they have to plan better if they are going to fool his father’s attorney.
F5 buys baby stuff, whatever. He takes her home and stops by Zoe’s room before he leaves. Though I’m nauseated by this plot, the baby sneezes a few times and its very cute. Oh here is a surprise, NOT, the baby starts crying and he calls Mr. C.
Of course Poncho gets bored watching Jorrible and leaves; once he does, Jorrible exposes himself for the slime he is. He is trying to deflect his involvement w/the dealer he killed earlier because his current business partner will kill him if he finds out Jorrible took the other guy out. Later Poncho goes by Isa’s and finally Isa and Sarita hear something incriminating.
Unfortunately the really bad plot of convincing Moncho to send his EIGHT year-old son with SERIOUS physical problems off to the US continues. During Willy’s turn, he says it’s a great honor b/c the child is so smart and a blessing from God. This is an addition from Vivi - "Willy suggests to Moncho that if Tuqueque wins the scholarship, he and Adelita move to the States. That way Moncho can pursue his own dreams of success, and they'll solve the once a year visit problem by being close to Tuqueque." Moncho has a heart-to-heart with Tuqueque later where it seems he is going along with this great opportunity executed in a really bad way.
Lucia has Mr. C come by the hospital to tell the younger Maris the true status of their dad. Meanwhile Horny has the audacity to claim the Lucia is the worse of “them” and calls her masseuse b/c evil is stressful. Later Mr. C arrives with Marisol and Marilu to save sorry F5 from his incompetence. The next day Mr. C comes by again to help with the baby. These scenes only prove what we all thought about who should be and hopefully is the real father. Thanks Blue Lass for noting that the girl's name is Pelusita," which kind of means "little fluff-ball."
Nice moment– Marilu tells Marisol the reason they visited their evil abuela was to get money for a surprise party for the latter.
Beba has a funny conversation with her maid (sorry I forgot her name) about Gabino. Beba only sees him as a friend b/c he works too hard.
In one of the most hilarious scenes this TN has given us, Isa and Poncho go undercover to flush out Jorrible b/c Sarita insisted that Isa not go alone to take down Jorrible. Their outfits are wonderfully ridiculous. EWM shows up along with the cop who is following her. Then Jorrible arrives and sits with her for a brief moment and they diss on Isa. EWM confesses to sleeping with Jorrible and the cop heard. Hurray! Jorrible meets with new hitmen to protect him from rIcky. Thanks so much Anon 9:09 pm.

Looking forward to today's recap and episode, but just on a purely shallow note regarding my catchup viewing, I must say that Fernando is finally getting attractive to me again. Some of those scenes in the jail, where he was finally getting a clue and getting angry at the right people and the lighting was just so...whew! Now I remember why I always thought Diego Olivera was so attractive. He had become so offputting with the stupidity that I forgot.
Marisol, however, is just being moronic beyond all belief. She needs some sense knocked into her. What she learned from her family's chaos is that Juancho needs to stick with Barf and their nonexistent baby? And therefore somehow she needs to take Knuckles back? Shouldn't she have learned that she should NOT be having a relationship with a crazy manipulative person whom she doesn't much care for? HMMMM?!
ITA w/your assessment of Fer/Diego. Having sense and more curly hair made him much more attractive over the past episodes.
Regarding Marisol, though her behavior is maddening, her examples have been her father and tia. Not role models by a long shot.
Why does Adelita and everyone else think it's so great? That kind of smacks of evil stepmom wanting to get rid of the kid, even though we know she isn't evil. Surely a motivated kid can get a good education in his local school, and go abroad for high school or college if he wants to.
Correction - EWM did not confess to having messed up Isa's car. isa and Poncho did overhear though when EWM and Jorrible talked about having slept together in the past. The cop who has been following her overheard this. Also, Jorrible was not planning anything new. He needed the new hitman to protect himself from Ricky who is now after him.
Tidbits:
- F5 calls the baby "Pelusita," which kind of means "little fluff-ball" or something like that.
- Beba's maid was trying to fix her up with the butcher. Beba was trying to be all "democrática" but couldn't help being horrified.
- Are they setting us up for some kind of Pygmalion plot with Knuckles & Barf? Do we have time for that???
Julia - the becca story is very dubious and I love your spy training theory. A few of us think is just a ploy to make things difficult for Moncho and Adelita before they marry.
The baby sneezes were absolutely adorable! I was happy to see things unfold with the baby exactly as we predicted. Felipe is useless.
I was also happy to see the young Maris finally learn what a witch their granny is. I am so ready for Horty to get her comeuppance.
Vivi & Julia - LOL and ITA about Diego/Fer's curly locks. It is a crime. Thanks for my morning laugh!
And it's true that they often change a character's hair in the run-up to the finale...I've been noticing Isa's new "out of her eyes" look. A sign that she's finally starting to see the truth...?
For those of us enjoying curly Fer, we get another does of him and he's angry too. He has learned that the younger Maris know the truth and from whom via Mr. C. He is understandably vexed and wants both of them (EWM & Horny) committed.
Willy and Lucia continue to act silly as does F5 with his daughter.
Barf and Knuckles have an amusing dinner where they insult one another. She wins this round b/c she called the lawyer, got him to come to dinner, charmed him with her lies. This will come back to bite her as the lawyer now wants Barf and her family to come to dinner.
Moncho gives Willy a tongue lashing for the continued foolishness w/Lucia.
The best part of the rIcky is going to get Jorrible plot was rIcky texting a threat as his wig and facial hair are kind of lame. He also sneaks into Jorrible's house and I'm concerned poor Beba might get hurt; rIckys blames her for his picture being in the paper. Never mind rIcky DID steal little Aldo.
Jorrible meets with his shady American business partner, Mr. Smith. I think the associate wants all of Fer's company so they are planning to harm Fer.
Zoe is conscious, hurray! And she accepts Pelusa as a name; I'm not there.
I was very vexed that Willy continued his foolishness with his fake girlfriend.
Not to worry about F5, he has an attention span of a gnat. He will soon become bored with baby duty and look for grown female company.
WillyBoy, you have made Lucia suffer long enough, time to give it up and make up.
Rosemary Primera
Does anyone know the actor who plays Mr. Smith? His American accent is fantastic. He must be bilingual.
BL - thanks for the clarification on Jorrible and Mr. Smith. Unfortunately I don't know the actor though he does have a great American accent.
It was funny that everyone was all freaked out that reIcky had spotted the bodyguards -- I mean, they were just standing around in front of Jorge's house, looking like...well, bodyguards.
Yes Felipe & Cecilio in bed with the baby was so funny - ro reminiscent of 3 Men and a Baby (even if there's only 2 of them) Best part of this episode. Although Barbara besting Mauricio at dinner was a close second.
Güera
Güera - unfortunately the writers feel its too early for Willy and Lucia to stop their games. We get more of the same today :(
Anita - to answer you concern. The pretending novio/a game continued today w/Lucia and Willy on the verge of confessing until his fake girlfriend shows up. Jazmin shares alcohol w/Lucia, the latter gets drunk, and returns to the gym. Mr. C comes to take her home and then Willy, Moncho, and Adelita think they (Lucia & Mr. C) were kissing. And it gets worse b/c Willy's fake gf, who is a bit long in the tooth, believes that Lucia and Mr. C love one another.
Isa tells Gabino what she knows and he compliments her on her spying skills.
Mr. Smith and Jorrible plot to take the company away from Fer and tell F5. Fer is dismayed.
Poncho's spying game comes to an end b/c Jorrible doesn't want his computer back.
Zoe chats w/Isa about her baby and F5. Though F5 has been attentive to the baby, Zoe is going to Isa's.
Knuckles goes by the school to visit w/the Maris and Barf is there. Sooner or later her maliciousness will make her expose her impending marriage which couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
One of Jorrible's bodyguards goes to the gym to kidnap Willy. Thankfully no one he talks to give him info; I was worried Nacho might have spilled the beans but where in the últimos capítulos.
I got my first look at Fer and the curly hair. Uff (as Camila Monterde would say).
Yes, he looks like the Santiago Diaz Herrera that I went gaga over (when he was paired with Silvia N). And thank you Vivi, for long ago sending me the link to their hot love scene.
Funny, no? I predicted that F5 wouldn't last long with the bebe, but he didn't even last 3 hours! And he called Ceci. I thought surely he would call Isa or Sarita. So, they are still playing 2 men and a baby and sweet talk their way into the holding pen to talk to Fer. Too funny. Also funny, while they were still waiting, he told Ceci to change her. So glad to hear Zoe isn't going back to his house and told him so. I think he's going to miss the IDEA of being daddy and having baby, but not the reality. Wonder when F5's first night out on the town will be.
So RIck-y is planning to pick Jorrible's weak spot--his mama. Oh, boy, is he ever wrong about that one. He'd just as soon throw her to the wolves himself and keep her money. Can't wait to see Meester Smeeth (remember El Tal?) reaction when he can't get ahold of the whole enchilada.
Love Julia's kidnap-Willy plan. Now why can't Lucia think of that? It's not as if Willy is...ejem...complex.
Vivi, I had forgotten the moniker "Maldito Fito el Bandito" -- thanks for the laugh.
BL - we've got to celebrate the moments of TN sanity when we get them ;)
Willy's fake gf keeps telling him Lucia doesn't love him. Please remove this fake obstacle writers. He later stops by the casa hogar to see Lucia but he is not allowed to see her.
Poncho and Susie continue to scheme on how to spy on Jorrible. He puts the camera along the bookends on the desk. Unfortunately there is a glitch (lack of connection) and both Susie and Poncho worry Jorrible might find them out.
Barf brings her parents, actually actors, to Knuckles's so they can work her martial plan. I think Knuckles & Barf could be good together once they get their comeuppance; they are junior villains in the making.
Curly hair/anger alert - EWM visit Fer and he goes ballistic again. She gets angry too when he calls the guards to take her away. Her back talk gets her some cooler time, yeah. This altercation leads to Fer FINALLY telling Mr. C and F5 he wants a divorce. Hey, better late than never.
Unfortunately EWM gets released and by the end of the episodes hands Lucia a fake letter she wrote pretending to be Fer telling the Maris she's the only one he trusts. Though we're in the últimos capítulos, a few people still must do incredibly dumb things so the villains can have one last stand (see Beba below). Let's hope Lucia just stays dumb with Willy only and doesn't help the Maris get kidnapped.
rIcky continues to stalk Beba. Jorrible has also assigned one of his bodyguards (the former Frito) to watch her. Poor Beba thinks the bodyguard is a thief and tells the police this (she's driving) so he gets detained. As bad luck would have it, as Beba exits her car, she causes rIcky to fall off his moto. Since she can't get him to go to the hospital, she takes him to eatery close by. We know she's been lonely and so she falls hook, line, and sinker for rIcky's charms; I know, heaven help us. Beba really needs to be with us to the end.
Horny disses Margarita badly - Horny won't visit Marisol though its her b-day b/c they need to apologize to her. Margarita says you may be right but she will be alone and the old bruja says nobody asked you, you are just a servant. Hopefully this is the catalyst that makes Margarita quit and testify against the witch.
Earlier in the week is probably better for me -- Tuesday or Wednesday?
Was Barf's "martial plan" a typo or deliberate? I love it. It's a martial marital plan, and couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. If they end up married, it will serve them both right.
Lucia looked pretty disbelieving of that letter. For one thing, as she asked, why would he give it to Manwitch? Why not Cecilio? Plus, one would hope she and the Marias would know that wasn't his handwriting. Plus, of course there is absolutely no way he'd send the girls off with Manuela because "she's the only one he trusts". Please. Laying it on a little thick there, isn't she? He sent the kids away specifically to get them away from her! Everyone knows he hates her! Since we're in ultimos capitulos, I hope no one will fall for such stupidity.
I love that the police stuck Manuela in jail overnight for being a snotty jerk. Why can't they arrest her for real? Why can good guys be trapped in jail forever over the flimsiest of accusations, but when it's a baddy, suddenly the police need rock solid proof?
Sara
Fridays are nice b/c nobody expects anything but a leisurely weekend write-up. :)
I can take some turns doing recaplets, too, if I know which days so I'll pay attention.
I am also happy to step in with a recaplet when needed.
BL - Wednesday would be great.
Julia - I would like to say I was trying to be witty but "martial" was a typo that happened to be appropriate. And ITA about the frustrating jail time for the good guys versus the bad guys. I'll also let you know about the recaplets.
Sara - great to see you. I hope you are well and had a great holiday! I may take you up on your Thursday offer; I'll let you know and can also post for you.
Vivi - Mani is dumb but our protagonists have been much dumber most of the time. If you could help on Tuesdays that would be great.
For the most part, the good guys had a good day. Thankfully Lucia does rip up EWM's note and Poncho is able to reconnect the camera in Jorrible's office.
Juancho remembers Marisol and her birthday. He tries to give her his gift at school but Knuckles shows up so he drops it off at the casa hogar. At school, Barf is a little more than ticked at Knuckles continued attention to Marisol
Poncho proposes to Doris and earlier he invited Susie to the wedding. I'm hoping Susie somehow meets a great guy at the wedding.
Jorrible and rIcky continue their texting war w/Jorrible realizing Willy is rIcky's brother and who their mother is. Per Beba's orders, Olga had overhears Jorrible when he realizes who rIcky is and makes threats to Willy. She tells Beba, Beba reprimands Jorrible, and he later threatens Olga. This guy can't get his soon enough.
Lucia actually tells Marisol to think about Juancho.
Funny scene with Nacho helping Chico build his upper body.
Fer moves to the real prison and gets a visit from Isa. EWM doesn't realize he has been transferred nor that Fer has started proceeding against her. She asks Mr. C where Fer is and he says he doesn't know; it was great!
While buying a gift for Marisol, Poncho happens into the shop that Lu Chong's tio owns. They both go to Marisol's birthday party.
The stand off between Ricky and Jorrible (you harm my mama, I'll harm yours) would be funny, if I didn't like their mamas so much. Why can't someone threaten Horty's life?
I did like how Cecilio and all the police staff gave EWM the runaround. How she thinks insulting everyone is going to get her any favors, I've no idea.
How is Fer being moved to prison when he hasn't had a trial and the evidence against him is so suspicious? Cecilio and FFFFF said it was good because there he could have more visitors, but Fer is way too pretty for the real prison to be a good thing.
When Juancho was waiting outside the school, I was hoping Marisol would walk right past Knuckles and his clown car of balloons and give herself a real birthday present in a drastic novio trade-up, but this way she now has her mother's bracelet as a gift from Knuckles...and she's 18 and can visit her dad...so this plotline should gel soon.
In my first TN, Cristal, the two chief baddies -- each of whom was married to or otherwise entangled with one of the romantic leads -- offed each other in a hot tub, with a pistol and poisoned cognac, I believe. So there *is* hope for a gratifying twofer (although it would be hard to top that one.)
BL - oh my goodness regarding Beba putting poor Olga in harms way and she usually doesn't buy Jorrible's BS. Funny story about the baddies in your first TN.
Julia - LOL "Fer is way too pretty for the real prison." And hopefully the writers won't let the bracelet plot fall out of the picture; Barf and Knuckles need to have a spectacular fall from grace.
