Amores Verdaderos #43 Wed 1/9/13 A Bodyguard Is Down, Friendships and One Villan Has a Conscience, Who Knew?

Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, this epi had some nice friendships in it, I must say. Isn't it great that the Angel and Ms Vikki are such great friends, always there for each other. The kitchen staff also, Polita, Tomasina, and Jean Marie and now we can add Lili to that list, they treat her sort of like family. So sweet. And also this developing friendship with Pau Whiner and Cris. Who knew? Pau Whiner is holding some powerful info she could tell Cris. Will she spill what she knows and why? Only time will tell. There is the wonderful friendship with Guzmi and the Angel. Nikki even has a friend, her wonderful Mama, but Nikki really needs a friend her own age. Someone she can confide in, that isn't like her shallow friends and especially not like Nabila the skank. Then there is Bea and her friendship with Cris and Lili, wonderful relationship they have. We will have to see if all these friendships survive, change, or if friends become enemies. Now on to the recap.

A Woman is like a tea bag- You never now how strong she is until she gets into hot water. Eleanor Roosevelt

So we start this epi with Ms Vikki leaving the house with the chantaje pasta , (Ed Note: chantaje means blackmail and pasta is a Spanish slang, used in Spain for money, like we use benjamins, moola, bread, etc.) and Ms Vikki is out of the door.

Puchis and Kendho are dressing all in black, with ski masks to boot, to pick up that chantaje pasta and they will be traveling by motorcycle to the pick up point. They will be getting 40,000.00 bucks for this effort.

Gilda on the phone with Pau Whiner. So Pau Whiner tells Gilda the breakup with Anibal is permanent, she is sad, Gilda tells her time heals all wounds, and Pau has a mis planes now, and that is telling the truth. She wants to start with Cristina Corona, and how they have developed a nice friendship, who knew, and that she wants to tell her she is really the daughter of Anibal Balvanera and that she has two sisters, Ms Vikki and Adriana! Oh, noes from Gilda, is she sure bout this? Oh, Pau Whiner is very sure! Will Pau Whiner tell Cris the truth? We'll get back to that.

So now we have Adriana, she the famous photographer, is the one that was taking those pics yesterday, while hiding in the bushes by the pool. The first pic she has is of her niece Nikki. She says Nikki is so pretty. Then she has another pic of Nikki with Guzmi, and Adriana is puzzled by why Nikki has a bodyguard when Ms Vikki never wanted security. Now she is looking at a pic of Lili and wonders who she is? Now Adriana has a pic of Anibal, her Papi, and she is very pithed, and says everyone always thought he was so perfect and faultless, but she will expose him for the real a$$hat, he is.

Now we have Lili in the hot house, talking to a plant she has called Cordelia that she is staking up, cause the plant is sad, when all of a sudden, Lili has the sharp pain in the tummy she gets when her Papi is in trouble, oh, noes!

Jean Marie in the kitchen with Tomi, lamenting that Odiodette is a rival of Ms Vikki, oh, no say it ain't so. She doesn't seem the type. She can't be evil, oh noes, lol. Jean Marie thinks he has bad luck, and Tomi wants him to do something for her? What would that be? He'll give Tomi a hand, with whatever she needs, not your hands she says, your feet, make like a bakery truck and haul buns, lol. Nah, but she did tell him to go. In other words, Tomi vants to be alone, so does Jean Marie, and he tells her the same and goes off saying nobody cares! So now the Angel has returned and tells Tomi, good afternoon. Not so good for Tomi, and the Angel wants to know what's up? Well, Ms Vikki will kill Tomi for telling, but you remember that video, that great fun video, to which the Angel replies, what video, there ain't no video, what video, yeah, Tomi says, that one. The Angel is oh so horrified that Tomi saw it, but she tells him not exactly and then she tells the Angel where Ms Vikki went and the Angel is upset she went alone, and Tomi tells him the guy threatened Ms Vikki if she brought a bodyguard this guy would kill them both. So the Angel is upset, Ms Vikki went alone. Oh, and Tomi told the Angel this guy claimed to have the original video. Anyhoo, Angel wants to go after her, doesn't want her to go alone and he doesn't want anything to happen to Ms Vikki. Tomi just happened to write the directions down and gives them to the Angel and he goes after Ms Vikki.

So now Cris has arrived at Pau Whiner's apartmento. The Super had a message for Cris that Pau wanted to see her. What Pau Whiner has to say to Cris can't be heard by anyone else, Ruh Roh. Well, Cris says she was alone, Angel at work, Lili too, Bea at work, Guillo with his horrid Papi and Pau Whiner invites Cris in. Cris think she knows why Pau Whiner invited her down, she made up with Anibal didn't she? Cris says that her and Angel thought those kisses of theirs were so passionate, not so much they were goodbye kisses. Pau Whiner tells Cris she is depressed, and in moments of crisis you re-evaluate your life. Cris wants to know what she is gettin' at, and then thinks it's cause Pau Whiner is the BFF of Bea's Mama, it's a small world heh? So Pau Whiner tells Cris that she got close to Cris, not cause she' s a good neighbor, but cause she wanted Cris to meet Victoria Balvanera's relatives. Que Que What from Cris! We'll come back to this little chat.

So now we see Ms Vikki, in her trusty white SUV, at that empty lot, while Dances and Kendho, are hiding behind a concrete wall thingy, ski masks on, just a watchin' her. Ms Vikki gets out of the SUV, with the bag of pasta, and proceeds to that rusted out barrel. Lo, and behold, on top of that barrel is a note that says leave the money inside the barrel and move the stone in front of the barrel. Ms Vikki looks all around her, Kendho is watching her, and Ms Vikki takes that pasta outta her bag, it's in a shopping bag, the pasta that is, and places it in the barrel. Then Ms Vikki lifts the tile and there is that DVD, she opens it up, to make sure it's in there, and there it is with the title, Hot Video, oh boy! While the eyes of Kendho are boring a hole in Ms Vikki, she gets back into her SUV and goes. So Kendho tells Dances that Ms Vikki is going and that now she is gone. Puchis (Dances) goes toward the barrel to retrieve the pasta. He is lookin' all around him makin' sure noone sees him. He kicks that barrel over, retrieves the pasta, and runs a little ways off. He opens that shopping back, gets some of the pasta out and smells it and says he loves the smell of money. Well, looky here, what have we got? We have got one Big Avenging Angel, doncha know. The Angel sneaks up behind Dances and whacks him right upside the head. Kendho sees this and curses the damned karate ranchero for showing up here. So now it is hand to hand combat, akido moves, and Angel manages to get Dances down on the ground. Kendho watching from a distance looks like she needs some Poise Pads now, cause she looks like she is gonna pee her pants, jus' sayin', anyhoo, Dances throws dirt in the Angels eyes and gets up. So Dances pulls a knife, Ruh Roh. Dances is trying to cut the Angel and Angel knocks it out of his hand. So Angel manages to get him down on the ground again, Kendho watches and the Angel is trying to take that mask off to see who this blackmailer is. Dances is fighting hard to keep that mask on his face. So here comes Kendho, right behind the Angel with some rebar and whacks him not once but twice in the head. Oh Noes!!!! He is down for the count. There is a bodyguard down, I repeat a bodyguard down. The Angel is bleeding from the head, Kendho tells Dances he owes her one, and he says let's get outta here, and they run to the bike and go, leaving poor Angel on the ground, bleeding from the head!

So now we have Ms Vikki, on her way back home, driving her SUV and she calls Tomi and says she paid the ransom for this DVD and now has it and she can breathe now. Well Tomi thanks Dios for that and what about the Angel? What about the Angel, Ms Vikki wants to know, and Tomi tells her he left to find Ms Vikki. So Ms Vikki is going to turn around and go look for the Angel.

So now we are back to Cris and Pau Whiner. Cris thinks that Pau Whiner thinks that Cris is some kind of relative of Vikki's since she lives here, not on your life. Pau Whiner takes this time to serve up some alcohol. It's the same orange liquer Anibal gave her at the Balvanera manse. Anyway, Cris asked if she resembles Ms Vikki, pobrecita, if only she knew! Pau Whiner tries to answer her, but Cris is just a chattering on. Cris claims she is a chatterbox cause she is alone most of the time, Pau Whiner likes her personality, Pau Whiner admits she is more reserved and Cris is just a drinking throughout this and even slops her drink into Pau Whiner's plant, lol. Cris saluds! Pau as being her friend in the big city, her one and only friend, and besides she has a way for Pau to get back with Anibal. Pau says it's impossible, but Cris doesn't think it is impossible and besides Pau just can't have wasted twenty years with Anibal for nothing. Cris thinks that if Pau becomes friends with Ms Vikki, problem solved, no? Cause Cris thinks if she becomes friends with Ms Vikki, Vikki will see what a nice person she is and will see how good she would be for Anibal, and Ms Vikki is the only one standing in the way, si? Ah, not so much, she has a sister Adriana too. Cris didn't know Ms Vikki has a sister, and besides she is a famous photog that has been living in Europe, she has been estranged from Anibal all that time and it's due to Pau and some other stuff that happened. Well, Cris thinks maybe Adriana and Ms Vikki, just don' t get along, but no that isn't it. They are very close in fact. Well Cris can't get the fact that Adriana never visits Ms Vikki and has stayed away all these years cause if she had a sister, they would do things together, she would be godmother to Lili, etc. Cris doesn't think Ms Vikki cares about Adri in other words. Well, Pau tries to tell Cris she has something really important to tell her, but Cris is still goin' on about Ms Vikki, how if she WAS her sister, she wouldn't want her as one, she can't stand Ms Vikki, yadda, yadda, you get the drift. We'll get back to this.

So Polita and Lili are in the hot house and Lili is still having that pain. Polita wants to know if she wants some tea for it, but Lili says no. Polita completely understands this stomach ache for when something bad is goin' on, cause she has one too, cause Guzmi is havin' a bebe with Nikki, and she lost him before she "had" him and she cries on Lili's shoulder. Lili tells her not to cry and in walks Guzmi who wants to know what is going on. Polita gives him grief about havin' that bebe with Nikki, doncha know. Guzmi wants to know who told her, well Lili steps up and says she did, cause she heard it from Nikki herself. He then tells the girlz it was a joke played by Nikki and not true. They are both very happy and Polita goes and hugs Guzmi, really tight.

So Ms Vikki has made it back to where the Angel is, in that empty lot. She parks the SUV, and is calling his name, and looking all over for him. After some more calling for him, she spies him on the ground, out for the count and runs to him. So she comes to him, holds his head, looks all around and tries to get him to respond. Nothing. We'll come back to them.

So back to Pau Whiner and Cris. Cris says she can see in a way, but Cris is an only child as is Lili, she didn't have anymore children and Pau has two. Cris wants Pau to get her act together, cheer up and win Anibal back. Pau is trying to still tell her why she asked her down, but Cris now realizes she didn't make anything for lunch, she has ironing to do, starts to go, goes back for her keys and is out the door. Oh, as Cris is going out the door, she tells Pau she'll have to tell her whatever it was laterz. So now Pau is all alone and says she just couldnt' tell Cris that Cris is Ms Vikki's sister!

So now here is Kendho and Dances on the motorcycle and Dances is stopping on the side of the road. Kendho wants to know if it is for ice cream to celebrate??? Not so much, Dances wants to call an ambulance for the Angel on his cell phone, who knew. So Dances does have a conscience. Kendho grabs that cell phone and tells him just to let that ranchero die. Dances has a cara-de- im-pac-ada look on his face!

So we are back to Ms Vikki and the Angel and she is still trying to get him to respond! She loosenes his tie, and feels the pulse on his neck. He's alive and she is so happy, she thanks Dios. So she is still trying to get him to respond, he's groaning a bit and she grabs him by the arms, trying to pull this Big Angel to the SUV, why hasn't she called 911 jus' sayin' Anyhoo, she gives up trying to pull him. She has figured out he is much too big. So finally she gives that up and the Angel is now saying, he can't move and his head aches, so Ms Vikki searches the Angel and comes up with his cell phone. Ms Vikki tells the Angel to calm down, she calls an Operator and has her put Ms Vikki thru to a hospital to call an ambulance for the Angel and she tells the operator to hurry!!!

So now back to the bike and Dances and Kendho. Dances is reprimanding Kendho and tells her they may be blackmailers but not killers, especially him, he can't go for that. She tells him sometimes you have to put your morals aside especially for this idiot that has foiled all their mis planes, already! Well, Dances doesn't like that and tells her that the Angel is NOT A BAD PERSON, who knew???? He does have a conscience!!!! Kendho, behind Dances, wiggles his ears for him and tells him he is gettin' old cause his heart is soft. Well, he tells her that she is losing her brains, so there!!! So after this little argument, they go on their way.

So now we are back to Ms Vikki and the Angel. Ms Vikki calls Tomi again and tells her how she found the Angel and Tomi blames herself. Tomi thought Ms Vikki was gonna chew her out. Ms Vikki tells Tomi, the Angel doesn't look good and she has called an ambulance and Tomi tells her to call back when she gets to the hospital and she hopes the Angel will be ok. Ms Vikki hangs up and tells the Angel the ambulance is coming and to just hang on. Ms Vikki tells him he is a strong man, and to just hold on!

Now we have a little face to face chat on the cell phone with Nikki and Nabila. Nikki tells Nabila that her Moms is really mad at her for that little preggers joke she played on Guzmi, and now Nabila wants to know what happens to Guzmi. Oh, he stays! Moms gave him the choice should he stay or should he go? So Nabila isn't happy, cause she doesn't get Guzmi for herself and wants Nikki to admit she has feelings for Guzmi. Nikki is like Nah, he is less than zero to Nikki, she could care less. Got that??? Yeah, Nabila's got that.

Oh, noes, here we have Leo the low, taking Guillo to an amusement park, they go on the bumper cars and having a good ole time, even some cotton candy!

So now we have Dances and Kendho in Kendho's apartmento. Kendho is wearing one of those dresses where you say to yourself, I see London, I see France, well, you get the drift. They are going to split that pasta, doncha know. Kendho already has plans for her half. Yeah they are splitting it 50/50. She plans to buy lingerie, clothes and some spa time. She just has to be all that for Nilson Brizz, doncha know. Well Dances tells her she doesn't have Ms Vikki's class. Ms Vikki is a real lady, and Kendho, well Kendho is ya know, a ho! But Kendho, says it serves her well in bed, doncha know and besides they can make a toast to nobody being hurt, what does he say, she wants to celebrate. So she goes to an ice bucket has a chilled bottle of champagne in it, pops the cork and giggles. Dances is still worried, who knew, about the Angel. He thinks the Angel is either hurt or disabled and then the door bell rings. Who could it be now??? So it is Nilson of course. So Dances is shoving that pasta in his jacket, and he wants to getta outta there, so he will go hide and then go out the back way, toodles, while Kendho gets rid of the champagne, hides some of her pasta in a box on the coffee table and then some under the sofa, and then gets rid of that bag the pasta came in and then opens the door to Nilson. So now Nilson wants to know what took her so long, should he have called, his meeting ended early and he thought he'd drop on by, should he give Dances a call to come pick him up???? So Kendho says for what? The only danger he is in is from her lovin', yuk and double yuk as they go in for the kissies.

So now we are back with Tomi in the kitchen and Polita and Lili come in, and Polita wants permission to walk Lili to the bus stop. It's ok with Tomi but it'll be dark soon, so hurry up. Lili asks Tomi if she has heard from her Papi, cause she tried to call and got no answer. Tomi tells her, her Papi is with Ms Vikki, probably busy, Guzmi is in the kitchen too, and Lili also mentioned that stabbing pain in her tummy, with one that always comes with something is wrong with Papa. Tomi will make  sure  he calls her, when she sees him, and just go already. So Polita and Lili go,and now Guzmi senses something so isn't right and wants Tomi to fess up, what is goin' on??? She tells Guzmi something really bad and it's all her fault, when the phone rings. It's Ms Vikki with an update from the hospital, they just got there. Tomi wants to know what the doctors are sayin' about Angel, how is he, is it bad, hopefully nothing bad and keep her updated and here is Guzmi and she passes him the phone. Ms Vikki tells Guzmi listening closely to what I am telling you.

So now Ms Vikki is in the waiting room of the hospital when the Doc comes in with images from the Cat Scan they did of the Angel. Ms Vikki wants to know how the Angel is. The Doc shows her the Cat Scan, no damage to the neck or the head. And is she Mrs. Angel??? What's with the twenty questions, does she have to sign anything, is there a problem? Well, nah, not so much, he keeps calling her name, that is Victoria right? He even called her name when he was unconscious, doncha know. Ms Vikki can't believe it and kinda smiles.

Now we have Lili and Cris and they are folding laundry. Cris is saying she wishes that Pau had told her about Bea's mom, ya know where she lives, blah blah. Well, Lili wants to know why Cris doesn't just ask Bea herself. Well, Cris can't ask Bea, cause it would be like rubbing salt in a wound, that's not so good for a mother a son considers dead, she just can't ask Bea that, oh noes. Now Lili wants to know where Guillo is, with his Papa, and Bea let Leo the Low have Guillo to spend some time with him, Leo is a hard butt, and rather than fight with him, maybe spending some time with his son, will lighten Leo up, we in Viewerville aren't holding our breath. So Bea comes in about this time and they ask her how she is and how was her first day? Just great but she is pooped out. So Cris says hey since Guillo is with his Papa tonight, why don't you go out Salsa dancing??? She might meet Mr. Mysterious Salsa Dancer, ya know the one you danced with the other night??? Bea puts the kibosh on that cause even though she and Leo the Low are separated, she is still married after all. Her reason for being is her son, doncha know, even though the dancing was fab with this guy.

So now we have Leo the Low and Guillo, and Guillo is flying like a plane in Leo's arms. So Guillo tells Leo it is time for his math homework and he has alot and Leo the Low, who really is Low, says no worries, he will do that math homework for Guillo! He also tells Guillo he is a wiz at math. So Leo the Low goes to the backpack, takes out the homework and sees the first one Guillo did is wrong, as he is about to fix the problem, Guillo tells him to stop! He cant' cheat he must do this homework himself. It's the rule of the secret agent, it's rule number six ya know, mustn't cheat, must be honest and avoid deciet, and now Leo the Low wants to know if his Tio Frankie told him this? Of course he did. Leo the Low advises his son that world doesn't exist, when the phone rings. It is Bea of course and Leo is soooo glad to hear her voice, can I hurl now, she really just has called to talk to Guillo, so Leo passes the phone, Guillo tells her about his day, going to the amusement park, and he even bought his Mama some cotton candy, awww, Bea is happy he had a great day, remember to finish his homework, brush his teeth and say a prayer to his Guardian Angel, so sweet. So she tells Guillo she loves him very muchly and Guillo wants to know and Daddy too???? She sends him a big kiss and then hangs up and she cries. She loves her son so much, but Papi, meh, not so much.

So now we are in the hospital with Ms Vikki and the Angel. He has got this huge neck brace on, that isn't on quite right, it is askew, so to speak and he wants to know what happened, and Ms Vikki tells him to be calm, he is gonna be ok. He gives her grief about going to the pasta drop alone, they are in this together, doncha know, she didn't want him to be killed if she had brought him along, and what happened today made her see that he is at great risk working for her. She also told him she got that DVD back too. Well can you see where this is going Viewerville? So now she tells him the Angel shouldn't be her bodyguard and she is firing him!!!! Que, Que What???? Fired says the Angel, fired????? Well, he ain't goin, has she got that??? He ain't leaving her!!!!! Does she hear him or what??? He was also sitting up, after she told him to lay down, when he told her he is sooo not leaving her. They smile.

So now we are in the kitchen of the Balvanera Manse and what have we here??? Oh, looky, it is Dances in his white shoes, white pants and a nice royal blue shirt, just a dancing to Salsa music, doing his moves when Tomi walks in. Tomi wants to know why he's dressed to go dancing and shouldn't he be with Nilson?? Well, Nilson gave him the night off and he is gonna enjoy himself, but Tomi puts the kibosh on that, Dances is the only bodyguard in the house and he can't be havin' no time off, doncha know. So he wants to know where everyone is. Well, the Angel is out with Ms Vikki, Zambrano isn't there yet, Guzmi is out and that leaves ole Dances. So now in comes Nikki all dressed up and about to go out, and she wants to know where Guzmi is, well he is doing something for Ms Vikki and don't ask her what Guzmi is doin' cause she doesn't always know what Ms Vikki gets people to do, in other words, she is covering up, but Nikki doesn't know that. So now Nikki is gonna jack Dances to go with her, and hurry up and change cause they ain't goin' to no carnival, lol. He tries to finish his coffee, but Nikki is doin' a countdown, like he better hurry up, so he goes to change. Now Tomi is asking Nikki if Ms Vikki meted out some sort of punishment after that tasteless joke she played on Guzmi? Well not so much, her Mama Vikki, told her off, and Sha La La, Sha La La, she told her she wouldn't ever do that again, ya know, lie like a rug and that was it. Well, Tomi thinks that Ms Vikki is way too easy on Nikki and that she would have taught her a lesson she would never forget. Now Nikki wants to know what that would have been? Well change your bodyguard of course!!! Cara de im-pac-tada de Nikki and here is where we end this epi.

Avances:

Angel in the hospital saying he doesn't remember a thing!

Nikki and Dances go to Kendho's place and Nilson is still there and Nikki wants to know what her Snappi Papi is doin' with Kendho!

Working on the recap y'all. Here is a place for you to comment.
 

Good morning Madelaine.

As you noted, is there a tiny chink in DWS's armor? Could this(gasp!) be a miniscule step on another path? That said, Kendra is just loathsome. No morals, no scruples, no heart. Ack.

Can't wait to read your recap!

Diana

 

I totally agree, Dances definitely drew the line loud and clear... he might be a jerk, but he is no murderer. It was so funny when Nikky spoiled his dance the night away plans and forced him to change clothes... LOL
and the previews look very interesting...
funny while i was in PR last night would have been the first episode i would have watched there on Dec 14, but i resisted the temptation and did not watch. if i had, then i would know EXACTLY what would happen tonight for my recap, but i have no idea.
 

Good Morning Y'all the recap is up. Sorry it was late, please enjoy.
 

Hi Madelaine,

I know I'm late in joining the party but I just started watching this a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for this witty and detailed recap. "I see London, I see France", indeed!

The main characters -- Victoria, Angel, Guzman and yes, Nikki -- are so likeable and often so very, very funny, that I find myself getting hooked.

I'm enjoying and appreciating the efforts of all the recappers on this one. It may be the first comic Mexican novela I can really put my arms around (even if it's not officially a comedy).
 

Kendra hits Arriaga quite hard, and after he falls on the ground, you see blood pooling on the ground around the back of his head. Later, when Vicki sees Arriaga, the blood is gone and the ground is bone dry. What happened to the blood?
 

Thanks for the recap Madeline...My favorite words are spoken the in the avances for tonight: "Papa, what are you doing in Kendra-Ho's apartment?"

Clearly this drama is going to bring Vicki and Angel closer together. Looks like she's going to fall asleep leaning over his bed and may spend the night there in his room.

I must confess that I'm impatient to see what happens in the scenes that are shown every night where Vicki and Angel are in the country having a good time with no one else around. OK, I'll stop whining now and just wait.
 

What an excellent intro Madelaine. Your insight, wishes and speculation on the future of Friendships for our characters in on point.

What a perfect quote from E. Roosevelt! And I love it that most of the women in this are very strong - different personalities, approaches and styles but formidable in their own right.

The recap was sensational (chantejea pasta explanation appreciated)."Big Avenging Angel", "hand to hand combat, akido moves" and "Sha La La, Sha La La, she told her she wouldn't ever do that again, ya know, lie like a rug..." were among my favorites.

Ah Cris...Here the most important news of your life is about to be imparted and you choose that moment to imbibe too heavily and not to listen. At all. Sigh.

I think Vikki was on Angel's mind as he was so distraught she would deliver the blackmail money without him. I suspect that was why he was calling her name.

But, didn't anyone else think it odd Cris wasn't called? Shouldn't that have been done first thing? I know some sort of story would have to be concocted as to why but still...

You were right - DWS does have a conscience but certainly not a good sense of fashion as far as Nikki is concerned. He was totally dissed for those stark white pants.

NovelaMaven, so happy to see your post! Glad you are with us - this is sheer fun...

Gobluefan, are you not wearing your beanie? :) A logical question to which there is no answer.

Dona Gringuita, I'm also looking forward to see how Kendho will answer Nikki's question. Sure she will slime her way out of it somehow.

Diana
 

Thany you Madelaine---enjoyed your great recap as always. Last night was a good one with a lot going on.

Gobluefan---I saw the pool of blood too but when Vicki found him, no blood. What? Also, he was hit pretty hard but at the hospital he looked to be in pretty good shape---well it's a novela.

Advice for DWS---Instead of practicing your moves in bed with Kendho or your Salsa steps on the dance floor, you should be working harder perfecting your Martial Arts skills--you got taken down twice and even playing dirty with your throwing dust in the opponent,s eyes coulden't save you. If it wasn't for a blow to the back of Angel's head, you would have been finished. Take a few more lessons with a good Martial Arts instructor, you need them.

Why wasn't Chris called and told that her Angel had been hurt? It's only Vicki and Angel??? What???

Why are so many so anxious to break up Arriga's mirrage? Christina has her problems but break up his family in favor of Vicki??? Come on!!
the gringo
 

Thanks for the welcome, Diana. I was glad to see you here too. I always love your comments.

Sometimes it's fun coming into a story a bit late and having to piece together what has happened before. I have been, at times, turned off by tedious, detailed backstories in the first few days or even weeks of a novela -- they feel too much like homework.

Starting late, I may miss a few references but I find I'm much more actively engaged in figuring out the plot and the relationships (yeah, okay, not exactly rocket science ... but still...)
 

Thank you Madelaine for your fab recap! Loved the snark. You did a great job!

Yeah, we now see who is the true evil one in our band of villains—Kendra. Salsa-Dude is bad, but he is not past the point of no return. I think they are setting him up for some sort of turn-around/redemption, or at least an attempt at such. Via Beatriz, por supuesto. Am dying to see how that relationship gets off the ground!

I really hated Kendra (and it's not like I like her) but I HATED her when she flapped at Salsa-Dude's ears because he wanted to call 911 to help Big Angel. That's just so evil. I hope for a huge anvil for her.

I kind of hated Nikki when she was doing a "countdown" on Salsa to get him to change clothes. She really is a spoiled bruja. We know Salsa-Dude is a villain (involved in her kidnapping, no less) but she doesn't. It's such a disrespectful way to treat any human being, even a lowly servant. I don't hate Nikki or anything (we know she's a heroine) but she's deserving of a knock-down, to be sure, for her snotty attitude.

Looking forward to tonight's episode!
 

Madelaine - Thank you for the great recap.

"VIDEO CALIENTE" -- Seriously, how campy can this get? I was ROFLOL.

I saw Cris sling that drink out of the glass, too. I did a rewind to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. I don't think she realized it. Camera just kept rolling.

All sorts of s*** will hit the fan when Cris finds out Angel is in hospital and Vikki did not call her!

I guess Nikki is not grounded as punishment? I don't really remember Vikki giving her hard consequences.

The previews showed Angel in a different neck brace. Maybe another telenovela had to borrow the big one.
 

Madelaine – Terrific recap. Fab opening to put everything in place. Love the show and your energetic recaps.

Gringo – In total agreement with everything you said on Cris.

Well, Paula chickened out. Cris getting a little tipsy shouldn’t have stopped her. In fact, Cris will probably have to get a lot tipsy to swallow this bitter pill.

Just when I’ve had it up to here with Nikki, she cracks me up. Her telling Salsero to change cause they weren’t going to carnival was too funny. To me, the best line of the night.

Why would Vickie travel without her cellphone to the boonies to meet blackmailers? Thank goodness she thought to get Angel's phone - and that he was too heavy for her to drag by his arms. I don't think dragging him over the gravel would’ve helped his head and neck injury. :D

Wonder why Vickie thinks she has the original DVD. And even if it is the original, who knows how many copies the blackmailers made?

 

Good Afternoon Y'all and thanks for the great comments :)

Diana~~~ I'm with you too, I don't know why they didn't call Cris either. I think they may have assumed Vikki was the wife cause she was with him and he called for her. The crap will hit the fan once Cris finds out they didn't call her.

Marta~~~ So true about Dances he has a heart after all. Can't wait for your great recap for tonight's epi!


 

Novela Maven~~~ So happy to see your here. Yeah this one is sort of an unintentional comedy and I have to say way funnier than Por Ella Soy Eva. You really haven't missed much and this one is very easy to figure out.

GoBlueFan from OH- Yeah I wondered what had happened to the blood too, beanie time!

Dona Gringuita~~~ I wonder what Nilson will answer Nikki too. He looked like he had his hand caught in the cookie jar. We will have to wait for Marta's recap tonight to see what happens :)



 

Niecie: "I don't think dragging him over the gravel would’ve helped his head and neck injury"

I just laughed out loud - a real belly laugh. That just struck my funny bone.

Uh oh, no laughing at work, Okayyy?

Still chuckling, Diana
 

Gringo- So with you about your advice to Dances, lol. He does need some akido practice it seems, lol. If it hadn't been for Kendho the Angel would have gotten that ski mask off.

Elvira~~~ So with you about Kendho. I thought she would be a nuisance but she is pure evil, no heart, no soul and she needs the biggest anvil there is. I love what Dances told her, Ms Vikki has class and Kendho is well, a ho, lol.

Doris~~~ I had to rewind too, about the sloshing glass lol and with you about the name for that DVD, I too was laughing really hard. I'm surprised they didn't add the triple XXX's on the side, lol, even though that DVD was pretty tame, really! Oh, and Doris Ms Vikki can't ground Nikki she is of age. I would do what Tomi wanted as punishment for Nikki, change her bodyguard to say, Zambrano, who is a by the book guy and she couldn't get away with half the stuff she does.
 

Niece in MD~~~~ I too laughed when Nikki insulted Dances by telling him to change, lol. Nikki is a little bruja that needs a comeuppance, I'm surprised Guzmi hasn't come up with one for her yet. Like parading a "fake" girlfriend to get her goat, or the "wife" he has, that would be good.
 

Niece in MD~~~ Ms Vikki has one of those cell phones mounted in the car or permentately installed in the car, like On Star and that's why she used the Angel's cell phone, so she didn't have to leave him on the ground.
 

Diana~~~~ Yes, you may "borrow" Jean Marie whenever you need to. : )
 

NovelaMaven! what a treat to see you join us here. this is one of those novelas funny enough to be lighthearted but not circussy (ok, sometimes it does cross that line but not too often)...
ITA on:
"I see London, I see France", indeed!
(my favorite line of the recap too)

I keep having to pay attention to what Nikki says because she is all full of high-tech slang when speaking of others, especially Gorilita (btw, Sebastian is built above waist in a way that does remind me of a young gorilla...)

 

"another novela needed to borrow the neck brace" - very funny!

And I agree about Guzmi's physique. The abs and waist are amazing, but the pecs seem a little over-developed or out of proportion. But with the shirt on everything looks right. But I'm not complaining either, am I?

I have a hard time believing that an older, mature, sensitive, responsible and intelligent guy like Guzman could fall so hard for somebody like Nikki. Yes, she's sweet and has tons of potential, but she's such a work in progress and who knows when she'll change. And during the progress, she's pretty unpleasant.

Thank you recappers!

TN4ever
 

Oh yeah, and I wanted to comment that it's going to be very hard to explain to Cristina what was going on when the Angel got into trouble...

TN4ever
 

TN4ever, i agree that it is hard to find in Nikki anything that draws a good guy like Guzman. he would probably be better off with LIlli... but she too has some maturing to do. especially if later on she shows some of her genes on the jealousy/shortfuse department.

 

yeah that neck brace looked a bit snug on Eduardo who has a huge neckline.
 

Well, Madelaine, I saw the dance scene in the hotel room and I was smitten. Absolutely hilarious! And I love the way the actors commit to what they're doing -- no one is smirking at the audience, everyone plays it straight. Pitch perfect performances, I think.

Hi Marta,
I don't mind a bit of circus, myself :) I'm so glad you're one of the recappers. Looking forward to reading your next one.
 

I'm guessing that in tonight's episode Kendra won't let Nelson answer. She's much quicker on the draw, always ready with a lie. And she knows just what to say to Nikki as her "bestie" to draw the attention away from the Furminator.

Christina was really an annoying chatterbox and even more so when she started drinking. It was funny how Paula couldn't even get a word in and quickly lost her resolve to tell all.
 

I don't get why our Little Gorilla is so smitten with Nicki either. (My mom is an anti-Nikki/Guzman pairing right now. She hasn't donned a strong enough beanie yet!) My only theory is that Guzman's letting Little Guzman be swayed too much by Nikki's beauty, and this is allowing him to overlook her extreme bruja tendencies. He isn't blind to what a little brat she is, though. I guess I just have to tighten my beanie a notch. Nikki has potential and we know she's a heroine, but she's tough to take sometimes.
 

Thanks for this excellent funny recap of a delightful episode.

Nikki is so resilient and so funny. Tue. she was so tearful and remorseful with her mom, then last night when Tomi asked her if she wasn't being punished for the bad joke she played on Frankie, she said, "No, look Tomasina, she gave my ears a little jerk, I said I'd never do it again, so like always..."

Sipis, that's our Nikki... can't stay angry with her for long...

And Cristina was such a hoot serving herself and sloshing her orange liqueur all about.

And then of course Salsero worrying about an injured José Ángel...

But no Baileys last night... maybe tonight... and maybe someone will actually drink some.

Carlos


 

I think Guzmancito likes Nikki *because* she's an unpredictable selfish firecracker. With his looks, he probably has no lack of ladies pandering to him, and that probably gets boring. Nikki doesn't bore him; she brings a dynamic of her own and is a challenge. Plus, forbidden fruit.

/totally didn't mean to get sucked into another show and can quit at any time, really
 

Sure, Julia, Sure you can. Meanwhile, take a seat and let me pour you a Baileys.

Carlos
 

Did anyone else notice the um...graffiti on the small building Salsero and Bimbette were hiding behind while waiting for the ransom drop? My husband made me rewind to it,but it's a very obvious pic of a woman with her hooha prominently displayed. Seriously...I am not making this up. Check it out.
 

You guys are hilarious with the comments today. I'm finally getting a chance to read them, but haven't read the recap yet. I'll do that now.

No one mentioned this, but I don't think Paula has the right to tell Cris who her dad is. That's Candi's job. Candi sent letters to Anibal. That's who she meant to have the conversation with first, and THAT'S how it should be. Paula should come clean with Anibal about intercepting his letters and sending a fake letter to Candi. She's not doing it because she's a chicken, and I think because she wants to cause trouble for Anibal and his family. If she tells Anibal about Candi, there's a chance of a happy romantic reunion, and Paula doesn't want that. Telling firecracker Cris first, is the best way of assuring there will be big troubles to everyone.

This show is going to turn me into an alcoholic. First Bailey's, and last night I was reminded that I have a bottle of orange infused rum from Venezuela in the fridge...
 

Deb, I did... it is...

but I think that the proper terminology in Spanish is:

chichi.

Carlos
 

Vivi - Agree Candi should be the one to tell Cris. I was too distracted laughing at Cris getting loopy at Paula's. This is earth-shattering news and should come from her mother. And Candi doesn' even know the other half of it - that the half-sister is into her husband.
 

Deb, oh my goodness, I saw the pornographic graffiti! LOL! It's on the building where Salsa and Kendra are hiding. You can't miss it when the camera pans back so you can see the whole side of the building. Too hilarious!

Julia, I think you may be right. Too many women fawn over our Little Gorilla. Nikki certainly does not do that!
 

I can't believe Uni's trigger happy censors missed the graffiti chichis. Remember how they blurred out abstract boobies in an art print in Triunfo de Amor?
 

Yes, Vivi, and they also blurred out the very tasteful nudes in LQNPA. They have edited out silly little nothings in this show too. But they missed THIS! Hilarious!
 

Oh, my y'all more great comments and I too rewound and yes that is a chichi, thanks Carlos, Oh, my the Uni censors really did mess up lol.

TN4Ever~~~ Yeah, I can't wait to see what explantion they come but with to Cris about what happened to the Angel and why.

Carlos~~~ Thanks for the added dialogue of what Nikki said to Tomi. I wonder how long Guzmi will suffer in silence about his lurrvvee for her.

Julia- hello amiga. I hope you get hooked on this one, cause it is so darn funny and all the characters are great. Even though this isn't a strictly comedy TN, it sure has lots of funny, comedic stuff, lol.

Deb~~~ thanks for the info about the chichi's lol. Uni will look at background more closely I think.

Vivi~~~~~ I so agree with you about it not being Pau's place to tell Cris who her Daddy is, that should be Candi's. I wish Candi had told her already. I am hoping Candi comes to the D.F. on a surprise visit, which will really set Pau off. I don't think Candi and Pau have ever met, or maybe they did, I can't recall. I know Pau knows about her.
 

Paula and Candi have never met. There was more than a decade between when Candi left Anibal (about 35 years + ago), and when Paula began her affair with Anibal 20 years ago.
 

And me, what do I know? To me, ChiChi's is the Mexican place on the strip, just down the block from Hooters.
:)
 

Vivi- thanks so much for that. I thought maybe they had met, but heh, not so much : )

NovelaMaven~~~ ChiChi's down the street from Hooters, oh, so wicked, but so darn funny, lol.
