Amores Verdaderos #99 Mon 4/1/13 Espanto...(inepto)... you better change career paths... how about registering in a plumber's or electrician's school? poor Vicky, she made her bed(decision), now she has to sleep in it(live or die with the consequences)...
Refritis:
Nik-ita and Goril-ita finish the kiss and then begin a game of ‘didn’t feel anything, don’t need you but you need me, am better off without you’ back and forth debate. Angel is nearby so Nik-ita calls him to come over, he plays the ‘don’t know anything, I am blind/deaf/mute’ disclaimer…
Funniest moment of scene is the end when Nik-ita says ‘lets go Guzman… I mean… Arriaga…’
At B house, JM is fixing Lilly a chocolate cake with berries… Tomasina says Vicky also has a surprise present for Lilly. Phone rings. [ok, have to stop the reel here, the kitchen has its own phone number for the servicio? Polita answers ‘Bueno!’ not an expected ‘Casa Balbanera, Buenos dias… etc etc’… so they must have their own line. ] Polita tells Tomasina it is ‘Cuicarlo Bonaparte’ (LOL!)… Tomasina and Kendra’s thug Inepto (I mean… Espanto) a.k.a. water rabbit… (reading a book on ‘chinese horoscope, year of the snake’, LOL!) talks to his ‘fire goat’, wants to meet her tomorrow
Lo Nuevo…
Tomasina agrees to new ‘date’…these two sound like highschoolers on phone with each other, her playing hard to get, both saying they are a bit distracted). After hanging up, Inepto tells KenDrat ‘she fell hook, line and sinker…’
Guzmanc-ito and Bea talk about Guzman warming up to Dances, Dances explained about the ring he is wearing, even accepted him calling me ‘future BIL’. She is very grateful… they have a real nice sibling love moment.
Yikes! Anyballs announces to Nik-ita that she and Roy can take over his NYC apartment, from there they can travel anywhere Roy needs to for his tournaments. But Anyballs wants to speak to Roy first. Nik-ita wants to know what about. Anyballs says he wants to make sure Roy treats her as she deserves (that is up to the eye of the beholder, isn’t it?), so if he needs to give Roy a booster kick (support/sponsorship) for his career, then he will.
Lilli tells Cris about Nik-ita about to marry Roy. Cris of course asks for more juicy gossip but Lilli has none more to give about his looks or social status… hopefully he is not as ‘sangron’ (stuck up, a total jerk) as she is.
Bea has told Frankie she is moving with her mom. He reluctantly accepts it. Lilli a bit sad they’re leaving, Guillo reminds her they will just be downstairs.
Frankie tells Lilli and Cris that he and Angel have switched, Frankie now watches after Vicky, Angel after Nik-ita. Cris, of course, nags about Angel not letting her know. Says Angel has been very mysterious and quiet lately.
At B kitchen, Tomasina is talking to herself again, about the virtues of the water rabbits (sensitive, generous, concerned about others, persevering). Angel scares her out of her trance. She gives him a gift from Anyballs to Lilli.
Angel leaves (what happened to the cake JM was fixing for her?? ) after sending ANyballs a thank you, Tomasina goes back to her daydreaming about her water rabbit and how he already changed her life.
Kendrat confirms from Espanto (a.k.a. inepto) that the guy who will help him with her plan is reliable (some guy they refer to as ‘El Taliban’). She won’t tolerate mistakes this time. HE congratulates her on her perversity.
Angel and Frankie… Frankie asks Angel why Vicky’s switching them. Angel reminds Frankie about their ‘code of silence’ that Frankie told him about.
Frankie says it is good for him, he was tired of ‘dealing’ with Nik-ita. In return, Angel asks Frankie about his relationship with Nik-ita, how come she is marrying Roy? Frankie gets irritated, says Nik-ita loves him too, Angel suggests he fight for her. Frankie says not that easy, there is a huge gap between us. Angel says so what, they have love, that is the main thing. Besides, you are a great guy and can improve your chances with ‘growth’ and make yourself more worthy of her. Give yourself a chance. Frankie now brings up the ‘lifestyle’ Nik-ita is used to. She will marry a ‘Pavia’, like Vicky married a ‘Briss’ (yeah, and look how happy that has made her). She spends in a weekend what I earn in a month. (I love the sad puppy face on Frankie as he continues to resist Angel’s encouragement comments to go for it)
Nil-Son sitting on his bed laments his luck, not enough with Vicky’s neglect, now to add insult to injury, KenDrat got preggers… to complicate everything. What will I do? What will I do? (let me suggest a book on 1001 ways to kill yourself and release humanity from useless naggers like you)
Vicky is writing poetry again(LOVE LOVE the bright guava color of her robe)… ‘she was confused realizing she had fallen for her bodyguard, the universe of her life turned into a cyclone.’ (said cyclone comes in her studio… (these two begin a ‘you first… no you first’ convo as if they have nothing in common, then she approaches him ‘I … have… begun to miss you… but as my bodyguard… (he agrees to the getaway added line)… things have to stay this way… it is better.’ ‘so what’s new??’ (all of a sudden seems like she feels ‘exposed’ so she begins to tug at her robe cleavage). ‘not much, what about you?’ With a wide smile of pride on his face, he tells her about Lilli’s birthday tomorrow. Vicky also has gifts for Lilli. Almost looking like she is outdoing her dad, she has about four shopping bags of gifts. She gets the usual ‘you should not have bothered’. He asks Vicky to let him go spend the morning with Lilli tomorrow. Sure. She will be very happy.
Adriana praying to the virgin on her daughter’s birthday to protect her and surround her with love and wellbeing. Until I find her my heart won’t be at peace. I beg you to allow me to find her. Please. Make the miracle that one day I will be able to hug her and give her my love. Please.
(Here comes Lilli with flowers for the virgin, and sees Adri.) She is here because I came to thank the Virgin, and I was saved from death when Francisco saved me from death when my house was on fire. You came to pray for your daughter, right? Don’t be sad or I will feel the same.
Lilli decides to give Adri one of the roses she brought for the virgin. Even though your daughter is not with you, she must remember her mother dearly. Adri asks if she can hug Lilli as she would her daughter. They hug.
Inepto is talking to his partner that he wants a clean fast job. He treats Taliban pretty bad… KenDrat comes. Inepto (Espanto) asks her how much they should ask for, she says whatever you want, take it as payment for an extra job I want you to do. I want you to kill Victoria B. Inepto tells her that carries a different price, he won’t kill anyone for less than a minimum of ‘half menu’ (did he mean half a million us$?). Take it or leave it. She is mad. Inepto walks away. Taliban comes to KenDrat and says he will do it for less.
At B house the bodyguards minus Angel are all eating breakfast. JM says he left early to spend the morning with her, took along my cake, it was di-vi-ne!!. Polita asks Guzman if he is going there, he does not know, depends on Vicky’s day. Guzman gets a cell phone call. Seems Felipe (Humpty Dumb-ty) had a fall. So when Vicky comes out, he asks Vicky if Zambrano can cover him for a few hours so he can go to the red cross clinic to see his dad.
(DARN!!! No Angel and No Frankie with Vicky… talk about SUPER-ANVIL!!! Now I wonder if the call was a fake call, to get him out of the picture. yikes!)
Vicky says sure, use the car, and let me know if I can be of any help. Dances wishes that it is nothing serious. Frankie leaves. Vicky leaves message with Polita to Adri that she has been trying to contact her.
At grocery store, Inepto and Tomasina meet. He wants to accompany her to the house with the groceries. Tomasina ends up giving in. Lets get to know each other… (you are going to regret this one Tomasina! Try ChristianMingle.com instead!!)
Angel is rushing home but KenDrat calls him from elevator… HE is irritated but comes over. He thinks she wants to explain about the scandal she caused with the picture from Conzumel. He demands to know why she did it. Of course she changes the subject and says ‘Christine’… Angel gets more irritated, her name is not Christine, she is Cristina … de Arriaga.. (I would say ‘de Agriada’ [embittered] but that is me). KenDrat says she did it because Cris is very jealous of Vicky, a very pretty and refined lady.
K: And I thought if I sent you that photo, you would value your wife more.
A: Look. Mind your own bidness. I don’t like you one bit. And for your ‘support/fixes’, I have already had big issues with my wife.
K: I did not intend any harm. I only did the photo so you would value her.
A: I know how much she is worth. I know her virtues. I know her well.
K: Then if you are so mad, it means my plan worked.
A: You are wrong. Mind your bidness. Since when do you care about a married couple’s happiness?? (Yeah Angel! You tell her!!)
K: I know what you mean. And I wish we could choose who we fall for. I admit of my relationship with Nil-Son Briss, but I respect your marriage.
But we are not talking about me but about Christine… I mean Cristina!
A: I repeat, you are not in my most admired list. And since we are done talking, excuse me… Ah! You cannot hang around in the hallway… (she has no choice but to leave mad grinding her teeth) ‘darn karateca rancher, you will end up without your beloved boss… if you keep bugging me, I will also get rid of your wife.’
Vicky leaves with Zambrano. She gets a cell phone call. With a disrupted voice on the other side telling her they have Tomasina held up. They tell her she can’t yell or signal anyone. If you behave we won’t harm her much. All you have to do is to fake so your bodyguard won’t notice anything. (She is willing to follow instructions, don’t harm Tomasina). She has to go back home for her jewelry and valuables. Put it in a plastic bag and go out the back door. No word to anyone or Tomasina will end up stiff. (she wants confirmation that they have Tomasina). She will have to trust their word. She says will do but please don’t harm her. (she is visibly shaken when Zambrano comes by but Vicky just tells him she just forgot some documents).
At apartment, Angel is making JM’s poor cake pay for his irritation. After drowning the numbers 1 and 8 on the cake, he grabs Cris and tells her he knows well that he married a great woman, she gave him the greatest gift, his solecito… if it was not that way, he would have…. (she asks him WHAT??) … he backsteps and says ‘have spent so many great moments with you… I would never harm you…’ (she asks him why saying that)..’ if you really want to work with KenDrat, I will respect your decision’.
Door noises… Lilli arrives just as Angel is finishing the cake…
Angel begins to sing the mananitas, Cris joins the song… Lilli is moved/blushed/ happy. They give her their well wishes. She says she is very happy because they are together. He makes her blow the candles on the cake. (you have to make a wish first! LOL!) She wishes that they will be together always… the three of us (Angel’s smile is momentarily deflated by this)…
Lilli loves the presents from: Cristina (earrings), Angel (bracelet), Opalina (diary with note: may life fill you with blessings and may God support every one of your wishes and make them realities’), Anyballs (gift seems more jewelry + card saying she is a very special young girl, wishing her the best ) and Vicky (beautiful red dress and silver clutch and silver shoes, no wonder Vicky said she wanted Lilli to wear her present). Cris puts a sour face at hearing Vicky’s name and of course spits ironic comments about the THREE SUPER GIFTS… (stupid fool).
Lilli also gets a long distance phone call greeting from Abuelita Candelaria.
Cande asks Lilli what present she wants. Lilli only wants her to come visit. Cande promises will come see them very soon. For now, sends loving kisses on phone.
At home, Vicky is gathering the valuables, still on phone with Inepto’s crooked voice. She keeps begging him not to harm Tomasina.
Roy comes to get Nik-ita to go with him to club, but first he will sit for breakfast with her. She wanted to talk about some wedding details.
Polita sees Vicky, thought she had left already. Vicky asks Polita where they store the bags… she will get them herself. The voice repeats she needs to use the back door…
Vicky comes out the back(service) door… A bodyguard walks by…
At Sonora, Candelaria is talking to priest… she tells priest there is no way to avoid going there to visit… Padre says things happen for a reason. If your granddaughter asked for that present, you can’t let her down. Cande says you know the reason I have given up being near them. Priest says this is the chance God has sent her to exorcise the ghosts from her past. IT is time you reveal the secrets you have been keeping. Cande doubts she can. He says don’t torture yourself more. You are also harming those you love by staying away from them. End with your guilts. Those are the ones keeping you from enjoying life with your daughter and granddaughter. Cande gives in, alright, let it be God’s will. (YAY!! So we will finally have Cande come to town to stir the pot!!! )
Inepto has kept Tomasina totally in the dark about his real motive of keeping her away from the house. He wants her to listen to music and close her eyes…
Vicky comes out the back gate… this way they let Vicky see Tomasina without being able to alert her to what is going on. They tell Vicky to walk on other side of street. Vicky approaches the car with the bag… the other guy, Taliban comes and yanks the bag from her, tells her ‘I got something for you’ and then shoots Vicky on the side by the left hip. Inepto is shocked to see Taliban shoot Vicky on his own initiative, then another guy comes in motorcycle and Taliban makes a quick exit with the bag… (yup, they took Inepto for a fool again…). Meanwhile Vicky falls to floor.
Previews:
Inepto with KenDrat, KenDrat asking what happened?? And him responded ‘don’t fake crazy, you ordered him to kill Vicky B!!’
Nik-ita and Tomasina over wounded Vicky. Tomasina calls Angel on phone and as Zambrano tells her Vicky has no pulse, she tells Angel ‘they killed her!!’ and Angel is going ‘it can’t be!! No, my God!! NOOOOO!!!!’ in front of obvlivious and confused Cris and Lilli…

Can't wait for your take on this epi and in the meantime,
Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, (and I do mean that literally) Kendho has got to go! I've had just about enough of her already! Poor Ms Vikki!
Did Anibal say he would financially support Nikki and Roy-ero in NYC? Roy's meal ticket has begun.
Kendho says she is but then again we don't know for sure. I guess we'll have to wait and see : )
Vivi:
So agree with what you said about Anyballs letting his daughters marry who they wanted to marry in the first place. FF sure was a dud and poor Adri has suffered all these years. I too wish the guys would show up. I too think these old boyfriends were probably a lot better and not like FF or Roy Boy.
Ms. Vikki's thought was only to save Tomi and didn't say a word, so---
Madelaine---I love your chant, Hey
Hey, Ho,Ho, KendHo has got to go. Could we add Roy to that chant?
I noticed while at Sherlyn's birthday party last night, when JA and Cris looked at each other, the glow of love between them was missing---sad, so sad.

Wonderful part one of this recap. It's too funny really that the harder Ms Vikki and the Angel try to stay apart, the more they are together, at least in the first part.
I had to laugh when FF was whining to himself. Ms Vikki's neglect Que Que What????? He was the neglectful one, but then again it's all about him. Where is Balzac when we need a good "load" in the FF's shoes, jus' sayin'.
I wonder if Anyballs is gonna quiz the Roller boy about his finances? One can hope. Then maybe Anyballs can put the kibosh on the marriage cause Roller Boy is broke.
Poor Tomasina. She needs a good eye so she doesn't moon over any old Tomas, or Henri. The woman deserves a nice man. I did laugh about Jean Marie and Polita being so curious about who this guy was.
So Adri and Lili had that nice hug and meeting at the church. What a coinky dink they showed up at the same place at the same time...Hmmmm.
Thanks. Kendho really has got to go and yes we should add the Roller boy to the chant too. He is so using Nikki and I hate that fact. I guess I must be Team Guzmi/Nikki cause they so belong together, even though they like to play little games.
the gringo
Gringo- Yes. There were some very sad looks passed between JA and Cris. The spark between them is gone. Such a shame.
I think Kendra is pregnant. I'm pretty sure she would have tested herself first to see if she was pregnant before actively trying to become pregnant, and she and Salsero have not done the need since she's started trying. He turned her down when she tried to get him to enseminate her. Then she was working hard to help 4F succeed in the bedroom, until the blue pill helped her.
You are probably right, but I like the need word, lol. It so seems to fit her, I am still laughing.
Thanks so much for this fabulous part II of this recap.
I was so disappointed that Tomi fell for all Inepto's (perfect nickname) lines. I really thought she would be more skeptical. Now she will blame herself for not being there with Ms Vikki.
Hated what Kendho engineered against Ms Vikki and the threat against Cris. I hope Ms Vikki doesn't die, what am I saying, she just can't die, no way, no how. Y'all know I am Team Angel/Vikki.
Poor Angel is going to blame himself for this, Frankie will be blaming himself and Zambrano will too. Angel will be the one that hurts the worst though. His love for Ms Vikki will be at the fore front. What makes me curious will be FF's reaction and Anyballs. Will Anyballs have another infarto, will FF be dancing in the streets, so to speak? But like Angel I think Nikki will also suffer. Adri too come to think of it. Adri is very close to her sister.
Kendho, like I keep saying, has got to go. Now she's murderous. Before it was all about the money, now it's all about the murder. If she can't get the Balvanera money, in her own warped mind, it's like hey, let me bump off everyone standing in my way! I really think if something were to happen to Ms Vikki, the last person to get the Balvanera money would be FF. I think Anyballs would rather split it between Adri and Nikki then give any to FF. Which puts them in danger too. Oye Vey!!!!
And happy birthday to the Little Orchid. She was given a few interesting gifts.
Vivi:
"The way Anibal always bankrolls these guys from supposedly good families who marry the women in his family, he might as well have let them marry the poor guys they first fell in love with and bankroll them."
LOL! It's so spot on. :)
But Anyballs is too much into fancy family names and blue blood.
I watched my recording again and Espanto told Kendho he'd kill Ms Vikki for three hundred grand nothing less, so Taliban must have shot Ms Vikki for a hundred and fifty grand. Oh, the horror!
Typical self-pitying, selfish Nelson: "Kendra se embarazo" - yes, because she impregnated HERSELF. Fool!
I wish that Anibal, when he talks to Roy, would pull out a contract and demand that his princess be treated in the manner/lifestyle to which she is accustomed. Something along the lines of, "I'm approving this marriage because of who your family is and I KNOW you can continue supporting my Nikki in style. You can have my NY apartment as a wedding gift and I will use my connections to further your career, but your family's wealth and position is the reason I agree to this union. Now, you make her happy OR ELSE!" Then what, Roy?
Vikki was completely dumb in dealing with the thug. She was INSIDE her house where she couldn't be seen, so why couldn't she tell someone - write a note, as Niecie said? Why didn't she say, "All my jewels and valuables are in a safe deposit box at the bank - we don't keep anything like that at home - all I have here is costume jewelry?" Yes, she was worried about Tomasina, but come on, she's supposedly an intelligent person. She's an idiot!
Folks sure do jump the gun on this TN in pronouncing somebody dead. Vickie with Anyballs and Salsero with Kendra and, from the previews, Tomasina with Vickie.
Hated seeing Tomasina swoon over Inepto. She can certainly do better. I'm hoping the Turk reforms.
Yep, Anyballs sure can pick 'em - leach husbands, that is.
Anyballs sure can pick 'em - leach husbands, that is.
LOL!!! good one!! AND SO TRUE!!
I agree we had more than our share of stupid folks acting excessively dumb under stress...
can't wait to watch the aftermath tonight, it will be chaotic for sure.
Boy, those pregnancy hormones don't seem to be affecting Miss Kendra, do they?
On the other hand, Frankie and the Big Guy seem so tender and they tear up so readily. Hmmm...
"(you are going to regret this one Tomasina! Try ChristianMingle.com instead!!)"
Her taste in men certainly seems suspect:
Felipe... loser
el Turco... gangster
Cuicarlo Bonaparte... dangerous water rabbit
So your advice is really spot on.
I really liked the way that Cristina and Ratiana were dressed last night... both looked very attractive.
Carlos
Carlos- ITA on Tomi's lousy choice in men (seems to run rampant in this tn), and on how nice Cris and Lili looked. I also like Vicky's blue dress. Tomi could use some help in the wardrobe department. I hate her boxy suits.
NovelaMaven- The pregnancy hormones seem to making Kendra more deadly. Just think what she'll do in her 9th month! Kill them all!!! Bwahahaha!!!!
I wonder how bad Vikki's injury will be. Oh well, probably yet another classic telenovela hospital scene, with oxygen tubes to the nose and everything.
Not that I'm expecting realistic medicine from this tn...
Meanwhile Royero will be cackling with glee over the potential removal of an obstacle between him and the fortune to which he imagines he will be entitled. I wonder if Nikki will catch him in an honest moment. No, probably there are too many episodes left. But Guzmi will probably be a better comforter than RoyToy.
...The bright guava color of her (Vikki's) robe... At that point I had to stop and make myself a piece of toast with butter and guava paste--Darn you!
Cute...said cyclone comes into her studio. It's a good thing they had Lili's birthday to talk about. Without it, they kept getting close and backing up and if Vikki had adjusted her robe one more time, Big A would have ripped it off her.
Poor things, Vikki & Big A are so in love with each other and won't do anything about it, while Nikki and Guzmi have their hands all over each other (and their lips) but won't admit it as love (I know, she said it once and he's said it, but I'm talking about taking the next step in the relationship, *talking,* instead of bopping each other over the head with insults.)
Vikki, Vikki, what can I say. You must be tired of all the drama with kidnappings, attempted kidnappings and you haven't learned a thing????? I'm with you, Marta--a fake call to Guzmancito to get him out of the house would be requisite. The KenHo gang would have to know where all the bodyguards are--and Kendra knows their movements. It was all very neatly done.
Since we know Vikki will survive, will she ever get her jewels back? Were they real? Hmmm, I kinda agree they might have been costume jewelry, but she has a lot of interesting pieces, maybe custom designed that are easily recognizable down the road. Let's hope.
http://www.luxurylaunches.com/fashion/bulletproof_clothing_is_becoming_a_style_statement.php
"This is the ultimate fashion statement which will not only be the envy of all your friends but will protect you from all of your enemies (like jilted lovers, ex-spouses or rabid neo-cons) who would like to see you dead."
Perfect!
Yes, Julia, animal print bullet-proof Spanx -- flying off the shelves of the corner Meta*Mart! (Though the zebra print isn't a big seller. It's thought to scream "Prey". The Big Cats are extremely popular, though.)
However, as she was lying on the ground she was holding the area just under the left ribcage where the bullet could have hit not only the colon but also the spleen and even the liver on the other side and possibly the pancreas.
The higher wounding would be worse. Judging from what I saw as he pulled the trigger, I'm going to go with just a nicking of the colon or even just the more superficial wounding.
Carlos
Marta I really enjoyed your recap, I LOL'd a few times. enjoyed the dialogue too.
For some reason I found it funny when Guzmancito said Nikki "spends in a weekend what I make in a month." Maybe because it's so true, Pobre Guzmancito.
AHHHHH I can't believe Victoria was shot, I'm freaking out people. ready for tonight's episode.
Yay Madelaine for Team Nikki/Guzmancito :)
