Amores Verdaderos #144 Mon 6/3/13 FINALLY a bit of relief for Frankie!!, the 3 amores of Vicky have their due... Carlos: his moment to man up to Anyballs; Angel, his moment in paradise; Nil-Brains, his cuernos


Recap of Vicky confronting Carlos by the SUV, she admits her mistake of the past in chosing husband, but that he has a double identity and that she kissed Carlos, not this stranger in front of her. He increases the pressure. 'Your bodyguard said he loves you. Do you love him??' She won't answer.

At Nikki's room, Nil-Brains comes on, wants to talk. She doesn't. How could you marry that... 'Low-bookie'... She won't hear any explanations. She yells he is a married man. He won't admit his mistakes, would rather blame her mother. She stopped 'fulfilling her marital duty, I am young, had to look elsewhere'. Nikki won't bulge, 'you let her become my friend!, and you let her be in this house and mock my mother and me!'. He claims he could not stop it. She won't hear it. 'You had every chance of confessing, but you would not dare lose her!' Nil-Brains changes strategy, begs Nikki not to hurt KenDrat, 'she is pregnant with your sister, whether you like it or not'... Nikki leaves in a huff.

Back to teenagers in their late 40s in the parking lot, he wants an answer, she won't admit loving Arriaga, swears she won't be with Arriaga EVER!... He asks 'what about me?' Not sure. I am confused. I see more resentment in you than love. Have to go away alone to think about it all.
At hospital, Bea wakes up. Realizes she lost her new baby and is very sad. Dances is there to console her. She is really sad, she already was loving this new baby, now don't have any of my children... yada yada... Dances wants to talk about their future, family. Bea won't even listen about anything but finding her son. Dances tells her they have leads, that Guillo was headed for Mexico.
Meanwhile at Mezcalitos, Guillo is really ill, very high fever. Mez gets real scared.
Mez worries that there is no money for clinic or meds. Mez prays to virgin to save his new grandkid.

At B house, JM and Polita are caring for Balzac. JM is taking real good care of him along with Stefano. They ask for Odiosa. JM tells her and Lilli that Stefano will send her to complete her recovery at Switzerland clinic. Polita tells them that Bea's ex husb died and Bea is in hospital and Guillo is not found yet. They all will pray for Guillo to be found soon. JM ready to get back to work once Odiosa leaves.

Vicky tells Adri about Carlos and Jean C being same guy. Vicky asks Adri if there is anything between them. Adri says no, and if he had not turned out to be Carlos... he must love you very much to fake being simple employee at grocery wholesaler just to find out where he stands with 'the love of his life'.



Jocelyn and Doris are eating together. Jocelyn worried Vicky won't forgive her. Doris says only way to find out is to go talk to her. Jocelyn asks her to go talk to Vicky for her, Doris says not good timing, our kids are divorcing.



Vicky and Angel with Bad Humor... She cleared things up with Carlos. Angel takes it the wrong way and gets very ironic that now they(she and Carlos) will be happily ever after together. Vicky asks Angel to confirm he told Carlos he loves her. He admits to it. Also clarified to Carlos that there had been and would be nothing between him (Angel) and Vicky. Vicky gets a bit miffed, doesn't like to be treated like a package that can be handed over from one guy to another. And to get back at Angel a bit, she tells him she realized Carlos is the man for her and will spend two days alone with him at Cuernavaca. Angel gets ironic again. Perfect romantic escape spot. Vicky sends Angel away... then smiles a bit flattered at the show of jealousy.



At hospital, Dances is glad that Guzman and his mother Paula are getting along better gradually. Dances says Imperia was always like a mother, but he always wanted a brother. Guzman reminds him they will soon be BIL. Out goes Dances, in comes Nikki. She is smiling, he stands up straight, a bit startled at seeing her.

Vicky comes to him and says could never stop thinking about you. He tells her about his going to Miami and seeing her in bed with Roy. He won't believe her confession of feelings, or that nothing happened between her and Roy. That their marriage was one of convenience. Nikki admits she was so wrong believing both KenDrat and Lilli. He still won't bulge. She tells him she loves him and about her trip to NY and was a bit late getting to the hotel. He still won't bulge, she insists it is worth it for them to get together and shoves at him the '125 reasons for you to believe me, 125 reasons for you to come back to me!!'. She leaves. He picks up one letter and starts reading...



In his room, Angel tells himself he lost Vicky for good, she will leave with Carlos and will marry him once she finalizes her divorce.



At Cris' grave (at SR?), Angel, with Opa behind him, tells Cris he is so confused... then he tells Cris it will hurt her to hear it but... he really loves Vicky. Opa helps him out: Cris, he is consumed by guilt, I have been trying to convince Angel with Guilts that you (Cris) want to see him happy, but he won't listen. Angel with Guilts asks Cris 'is that true? do you want to see me happy?' He prays for a 'signal' and a lovely white dove comes flying and stands on Cris' grave. Opa interprets it for him, Cris always wanted to make you happy, she wants you to be happy,.' Angel, tearful, seems to finally be turning the corner... ever so slowly.



Back at Mez hut, recycled from 'Refugio', neighbor lady tells him to take him to his family. Mez doesn't know where they are. SHe says then take him to doctor ASAP!! He is afraid to go to jail if call police, she says have to do SOMETHING or the kid will die!



At B house, Angel and Adri meet in kitchen for quick b-fast. He talks about Bea and lost Guillo, she can tell something is wrong with Angel, and asks him what is wrong. He bursts, 'Your sister left with Carlos, I even send her express mail to him, but now i am dying with jealousy knowing she is in his arms.' Just in time, Carlos calls Adri, summons her to his apartment. Adri hangs up, tells Angel Vicky lied to him, she left alone, Carlos is in his apartment! (Angel seems to get a new life in his eyes and priceless facial expression.



Nil-Brains is only too happy to announce to Anyballs that Vicky went to Cuernavaca for a couple days, supposedly to rest. Anyballs asks 'with Arriaga again?' Nil-Brains says 'no, Arriaga is last year's model. now its Carlos G'. Anyballs confronts Nil-Brains about announcing this as if he were the model husband. Nil-Brains shows his double standard saying 'what is seen in a man as natural, in a woman is seen as 'fatal flaw'.



At Cuernavaca... Vicky is typing in her laptop while Zambrano walks around in surveillance... 'the [writing] work we don't publish, the book we don't read, the music we don't listen to, the fruit we don't eat/bite'



Carlos arrives at B house literally running, telling Adri she hung up on him so he came for her. Anyballs comes out, does not recognize Carlos, but Carlos is only too happy to confront him with all the irony stored for 25+ years... Adri only too happy to tell Anyballs he is 'the famous director Joan Constantine'. Anyballs says not impressed. Carlos says no intent to impress, thanks him for firing him from the company which made him the professional he is now. Anyballs doesn't care, will always be 'Carlitos Gonzalez' and that won't change. Carlos asks not even if i marry a Balvanera? Anyballs says don't you dare. Carlos says i am daring. (putting his hand on Adri's shoulder, Adri a bit shaken...)



At hospital waiting room, Frankie gets to read letter where Nikki tells him she called the house and Lilli told her he was with her and was going to marry her. Frankie questions that, then is impressed that Nikki would write so many wonderful things to him. Mez arrives at waiting room very anguished. Frankie asks him what is going on, Mez says his grandson is very ill, and he is worried.



At KenDrat's apartment, Inepto (Espanto) brings her a very strong poison. She means it for Nabila. KenDrat does not want to risk exposing herself, so she asks Inepto to do the deed. He signals that if there is money, he is game. KenDrat wants Nabila to die like a 'worthless Cleopatra'.



At Cuernavaca, we see men's legs... he stands behind Vicky and reads from her laptop: Valeria, at the edge of the cliff, yelled his name, expecting to hear in the echo a response that would push her to her destiny...'. Vicky turns around... 'Arriaga! you here?' / 'Yes, i need to be at your side... i learned you came alone so i came' / 'i am happy to see you' / 'I can't keep quiet anymore about my feelings for you...' / I want you to take the leap, for you to love me... as I love you' / 'Sra Victoria... if i came is because i finally put aside my fears, my guilts... i hope that with what i am about to do, i am not disrespecting you. ' / 'what are you about to do? ' (he kisses her) / ' if you disrespect me again this way... i swear to fall in love with you for the rest of my life' / 'Ay chispeajos' (more smooching... )



Back to hospital, Frankie asks Mez what is wrong with grandson, Mez says he had the kid out in the streets, but have to wait for Doctor to tell me. Doctor comes out asking for relatives of 'Guillermo Solis'. Frankie is in shock. Mez says he is his grandpa so Doc walks him off to room. Frankie stays behind, still in shock, but gradually responds and follows them at a distance.



Back to Cuernavaca, more kissing 'this is one of the best days of my life, never thought we would have this happen... ' / 'we are finally together, without having to hold back on what we feel'. / 'what was it that made you come here?' / 'the great love i feel for you... my great fear of losing you' (more smooches) / 'No... no.' / (a bit scared she is pulling the plug) 'No what??' / 'No, JA, don't fear that... (he smiles relieved, small smooch) i am yours... only yours' (more smooches as they make their way in the house)



Back to B house and the other sister... 'I must confess to you that noone had told off Anyballs like you just did' / 'I could do no less' ... she asks if he is still looking for a photography director for his movie, she is still interested in working with him. he asks why the change of mind. She says she had been waiting for years for someone to stand off to her father like he just did. He is game. But reminds her they have no storyline. .. later, he mentions he received a novela on email from someone he doesn't recognize, a story called 'Amores Verdaderos'



Back at hospital, Guillo's face color has come back, he is fine, Doctor comes in to say the 'salmonedosis' is serious, but for now he is being hidrated and given antibiotics. Guillo asks how long will be here. Doc says giving him meds to attack the 'bug' that made you ill. If you are better tomorrow, will let you go then. Guillo now worried about the money. Mez says they cure people for free at red cross. Doc leaves, Frankie can't wait any longer and comes in. Both uncle and nephew are super happy to be reunited. Mez is worried, but Frankie comforts the 'buen hombre' with a shoulder squeeze and tells him that he needs to talk to Guillo and then will talk to him. Mez leaves, Guillo asks why not bring grandparents and mommy. Frankie tells him need to talk... tell me what happened to you all these months... Guillo talks, Frankie is worried and angry but holds back.



In another hospital, Bea and Paula are talking. Bea is a bit more hopefull, thinking her little 'tesoro' is doing everything he can to get back together with her.



Back to the lovebirds at Cuernavaca, she asks what about Zambrano, he says he already sent Zambrano home to Mex, he will take care of her, only him. (we learn they turned off their cells) 'I am here to take care of you... but above all... to love you'.



Previews: Brave-Not-Nil-Brains is driving there with Dances, is angry, shouts 'if i see him with Victoria i will kill him with my own hands!!' but then asks Dances for the gun. (LOL!) Apparently Dances does not give it to him, since we see Nil-Brains walking with a horse reign (?) yelling for Vicky. Vicky and Angel in bed naked are startled as Nil-Brains shouts... To continue...

Far and away the best episode to date. Romance, rescue - what could be better?

Marta,I loved your humor: "Back to teenagers in their late 40s in the parking lot" had me laughing out loud. You did a marvelous job translating the conversations and conveying the feelings of love, longing (Vicky and JA), relief (Francisco) and yearning (Nikki)all of the main characters were experiencing. Bravo!

Carlos embodies all the qualities Adriana is seeking in a man: loathing, contempt and resentment toward her father. And lo and behold here he is. I'm starting to like the Carlos/Adriana pairing. His somewhat offputting manner seems to disappear in her company and standing up to Anibal certainly helped his cause. I'm not quite sure Anibal cared, but it was wonderful to see nevertheless.

JA and Vicky finally had their moment. I melted - totally. I do admit though I bet that scene was hard to choreograph (with all the movement and undressing, sigh..)

Relieved that Nikki put everything on the line and told Francisco she loves him - with the letters as proof positive.

And Guillo. I thought the little actor was fantastic last night. So glad he is safe.

Shall we dare to hope for a happy ending for Santino and Bea??

I cannot believe Nelson is going to ruin the few happy moments JA and Vicky had. And as you noted, with a riding crop to boot. What a little weasel (no offense to weasels)...

Diana
 

Marta – Terrific recap. My favorite line:“Back at Mez hut, recycled from 'Refugio',…” – lol

Well, Vickie and Angel made up for lost time. I saw an interview with Erika a while back - maybe when the love scene aired in Mexico? – and she said they felt the audience (not to mention Angel and Vickie) had been waiting so long for them to get together that they felt they owed it to them to pull out all the stops. She said she hoped no one was offended and said that EY was very respectful of her. I certainly wasn’t offended. :D

Yay, Guzman finds Guillo. Now all three couples are about to be happy together. What could possibly go wrong.

Hmmm, Adri is looking very attracted to Joan.
 

Marta- Thank you for letting us relive such a great episode!

Lots of great developments: Guillo found; Nikki begging Guzman to come back to her and giving him the letters as proof of her love; JA finally letting go of the guilt; and JA and Vicky releasing all that pent up passion and doing what comes naturally. Anyone else notice that the chair where they paused for some undressing and passion was broken in the background once they made their way to the bedroom? LOL! Nice touch production people. Of course Uni edited, as we could tell by the choppy music, but I haven’t gone hunting for the full version yet. Nice to see some unbridled passion being shown in a tn by an older woman, who isn’t a villainess. Go Erika!

It was funny when Carlos pretended that he and Adri may have a thing going on in front of Anibal, and Adri went along with it. At this point, I don’t think she would mind making that a reality.

 

Nelson's gall and double standards are astounding!

Just in case anyone forgot, it is a complete lie that Vicky stopped wanting to make love to him and that's why he was "forced" to look elsewhere. Vicky was always trying to get Nelson to touch her or make love to her when this tn began, and he was the one who was a cold fish in bed. He only changed once she started to pull away from him.

 

Marta:

Thank you so much for this marvelous recap.

Por Fin, Por Fin, they are finally together. That scene was so full of passion, romance, and that kissing, sigh! It took so loooonnnggg. I am just happy that finally there is some movement in their relationship. I thought the yearning would go on until the last weeks. Vivi: I never noticed the broken chair. Lol.

Nikki, I think, must be maturing. Instead of crying in her room, she gives her Guzmancito all of those many letters she wrote as proof she really loves him and about Lili being his "girlfriend". I think when she told him she went to New York to find him he realized she was telling the truth, even though he didn't tell her that.

So happy that Mezcalitos did the right thing and brought Guillo to the hospital and used his real name. Yay! I think Frankie, Betty, and Pau and Felipe will treat him kindly. Mezcalitos does remind me of Don Chelo a bit. I wonder if we will get more back story on Mezcalitos.

Loved the Balzac (hehe) scene with Jean Marie and Jean Marie is back, YaY! Maybe Odiodettes stay in the Swiss clinic will temper her er, temper so to speak? Maybe she will come back a changed woman.

I liked the confrontation between JoCarlos and Anyballs. Perfect. And really liked how Adri joined right in. I too think there is a bit of a spark there with Adri and JoCarlos.

Had to laugh at Doris and Josie. I think Ms Vikki may eventually forgive Josie.

Didn't like the avances. FF with a riding crop? Does he even ride? And asking Dances for the gun? Really? I think Dances would give it to the Angel first, lol.
 

Vivi:

FF is a lying liar that lies. What a putz. I remember in the beginning of this TN when they were at the hacienda, she didn't want FF to go, but wanted to spend some time with him, and he blew her off and then the kidnap attempt. He is as bad as Anyballs, it's all about him. And material things he can get. He is even blowing Kendho off, and boinking Nabila. It's just all "about him" and his "needs".
 

The episode we've been waiting an eternity for... how appropriate that it fell to you to describe for us. Excellent and beautiful. After watching this and reading your wonderful retelling... it's clear to all that poor Carlos, no matter how good his milk might be, never stood a chance.

I don't want Yawn/Carlos for Adriana, but I like these lines this morning...

Diana:

"
Carlos embodies all the qualities Adriana is seeking in a man: loathing, contempt and resentment toward her father."


Niece:

"Hmmm, Adri is looking very attracted to Joan."

He's too rough a kisser for Adriana, and besides, she shouldn't have to settle for her sister's hand-me-downs.

Carlos





 

Niecie, I thought the JA/Vicky scene was perfect - I was delighted. It was especially gratifying as as we were finally treated to seeing a real woman, rather than a young girl, experience the passion she (and the patio) had been hoping for.

Vivi, I didn't notice the chair either! What a great detail...I must confess I was too busy gawking at JA's perfect chest...and arms...etc.

Madelaine, I also loved the Balzac scene. He was getting cuddled and hugged like the most adored child. It certainly is a dog's life for him and a charmed one at that.

Diana
 

Oooooo - after Adri pronounced herself his ally, Carlos gave Adriana a little flash with his eyes that indicates the "real Carlos" is definitely up for the game! I'm liking this!

Thanks so much Marta! Hubby asked me if this was supposed to end soon because so many pages were turned last night. We're definitely on a new chapter, but still a ways to go I think.
 

Oh right, Vivi - Vicky was still sleeping with FF while he was having his affairs (Kendra wasn't the first). They even had some romantic interludes. Of course he's going to claim otherwise to Niki.
 

Audrey:

We have roughly 37 capitulos to go. The story should be moving along now.
 

Thank you for the great recap, SuperMarta!

And here I am with the unedited version (because you can always count on me when it comes to hot scenes :P :)):

part one
part two
part three
part four

And the chair broke... it was a hoot. :) Actually, it was an accident.

And while this episode was like Heaven for the Victoria-Arriaga fans, this was also the episode that made me root for Guzmán and Nikki. She's definitely maturing.
 

That was a very moving love scene. Those two were moving and grooving all over the place.
 

That was a very moving love scene. Those two were moving and grooving all over the place. [anti-robot id : embraced !!!!
 

Aribeth:

Thanks so much for the links.

I love how they used the symbolism here. First that flower on the grave of Cris when Angel was there trying to straighten it out when he was making such a mess and the dove last night. I am glad Opalina went with him. Otherwise, the Angel might not have gotten the sign, lol.
 

Thanks Marta!

I feel better about Guzman. At least he put up a struggle a teensy weensy bit tonight. He didn't let Nikki totally punk him out. He made her beg. But, now that he's got his letters, he'll be puddy by the end of the night.

What leads does Salsero have? Guillo has only spoken with Mez? Right? Who could have told Salsero that Guillo was on his way to Mexico?

Proof again that Opiumlina sees Elvis and smokes Jays. A bird landed on a grave and that's a sign. How often does that happen? Hmmmmm Anyways, Opi tells Arriaga to go buck wild!

I am so happy that I didn't get this episode. I would not have been able to write about the love scenes with the same restraint that you did. I would have received hate mail for sure. :=). He was tossing her around and slamming he into windows. He was soooooo manly and aggressive. Good golly! Well, Chrissy has been dead for a while...he'll probably be making up for a lot of lost time. I wish I was Vicky and he was tossing me around. He hasn't been active in a while. He's probably feeling very blue..I'm trying to say that I'd be very afraid to be with him, but loving every minute of it.
 

Thanks Aribeth! Will have to watch those clips in the comfort of my own home tonight. That's so funny about the accidental breaking of the chair. Don't know what drew my eye to it in the background (I know I should have been keeping them glued to our couple), but I busted out laughing when I saw it and thought it must have been a joke by the production crew.
 

I think Arriaga put hot sauce on her shoulder and was trying to eat her at one point. Am I wrong? Goodness!
 

Cyn- As long as it's been for JA, it's been MUCH longer for Vicky. I think she probably had even more pent up longing and passion than he did. He just had the brute force to express it, uhm...forcefully.
 

OK,nobody take this wrong. But, Guzman was very gentle and boring. You would never forget that you had been with Arriaga. NEVER! He doesn't even give her time to think.
 

I was pleased with the courtesy and respect that Guzmán showed toward Mezcalito. Paula and Felipe may not have been the best of parents but somebody did something right in rearing him and Betty.

Carlos
 

Aribeth:

Those links were passionate thanks for putting them up. I see why they cut them from our viewing, but still! They were tastefully done, I must say.

Ah, all that pent up passion. They really did do those scenes so well. Por Fin.

Cyn:

I can imagine what you would have written, lol.
 

Carlos- Francisco and Bea are two of the most balanced, well-mannered, polite people in this whole tn. I think we surely can give Felipe and Paula credit for that. Neither Frank not Bea have bad memories of their mom before she dumped them for Anibal. And even though Felipe is a gambling addict, we have always seen him being a loving and caring father.
 

Marta--I choked (with laughter, of course) on the "back to teenagers in their late 40s" too. You drew the prize winner last night.

Holy Guacamole. This marks the trio of staple novelaland reveals all in the same episode:
1. The miraculous rescue of a lost child (the most vulnerable of characters).
2. Consumation (or should I say devouring, as in hungry for each other, as in couldn't get enough sopa and went straight to dessert) between the Arriaga and Vikki.
3. The appearance of the ubiquitous little brown bottle of poison. (Let me see, where have I seen it before--recently in Eva Luna, El Talisman, Amor Bravio, others?)

On a slightly lower highlights plane are:
1. Honeyballs being told off by Sonnyboy (and it seems Anyballs is left with nothing more to say during the repartee).
2. The sign from above in form of a white dove (hokey, but it worked for JA; good thing Opalina was there--he might have misinterpreted the appearance of a bird).
3. Letters from Nikki (at least Guzmi had something to do while sitting and waiting on Bea--doesn't anyone ever bring a book or magazine anymore?)

Sad to hear Odette is being sent to Switzerland, where no one will visit her. Has no one heard of good rehab centers in Mexico or USA? NM has had to put her interview on hold for the indefinite future.

Really upset when I heard Nilsans-Brains spew that macho garbage at Nikki, turning the blame on Vikki and getting graphic about it. Poor thing, TMI. He doesn't care a thing about Vikki or Nikki, only himself. Then to puff up and repeat his delusional self-defense of "that male thing," to Anyballs while excoriating Vikki for the same tendencies in women (in telenovelas, naturally). Arggh.

Niecie--It was certainly an enthusiastic disrobing. I caught Erika several times trying to muffle a snicker or a smile, but EY was all business. Vivi--I saw the broken chair, too.

Looks as though everyone posting had similar reactions to mine and most much more succinctly. So, I'll leave it there.

I'm humming with glee today.

 

Cyn~~~Big Angel is large and in charge, verdad?
 

Verdad, Susilynn. Muy Verdad.
 

He was like a guy in the Navy home on leave. We've waited for that scene for a looong time. Is anyone smoking a cigarette ?
 

"Back to teenagers in their late 40s in the parking lot"

This sums the whole story up. :)
 

I used to be married to a Marine and was often placed in that situation. TMI...I know. But Susilynn started it. ;-)

Cynderella
 

Cyn~~~Teehee...I've often been accused of ''starting it''...
 

Thanks for the recap Marta.

I really liked how Nikki stood up to her father about Kendra.

CYN- "But, Guzman was very gentle and boring."
I like gentle lol. I didn't get boring, I was captivated the entire time and even smiled throughout the scene :)

I love the way Nikki Tells Guzmancito she loves him and am proud of him for not caving in, at least not yet.

Arriaga and Victoria, that was intense I'd say, didn't do anything for me though. Sorry guys! Maybe it's my age which I dare not say lol.

I'm glad Guzmancito knows about Lili's lie, wonder is he'll confront her, probably not. I'd like to hope so.

Finally weird Guillo is found.

Love the moment between Salsero and Guzmancito with the "BIL"

So ready for Nikki and Guzmancito to reconcile for good *sigh*

Team Nikki/Guzmancito
 

Great episode! Lots of plot progress!

Great recap, too. There was much I enjoyed about it, but possibly my favorite, and I don't know if it was a deliberate joke, a Freudian slip, or a typo, but when you said Nikki was pleading with Frankie but he "wouldn't bulge yet", I giggled like the 12-year-old I secretly am.

Nikki taught me some new vocab:
Lobuki
She totally overestimates KendraMacaria's class, though.

So Nelson thinks he's got a chance against not only Vicky, but also JA and Salsero? Get real, Nil-brains. Also, he doesn't own that house and has no right to be there, so I hope he is ousted from the premises so fast he desintegrates like a meteor passing through the atmosphere.

The Cuernavaca house is so beautiful. I wonder why Nikki hangs out in the D.F. so much when she's got that place and the hacienda she could go to, and nothing to do and no real friends in the big city.
 

Thanks for your recap Marta. It's a gem.

Well finally this novela has turned a corner--Nikki and Frankie; Guillo is home; Bea and Dances can be a couple, and last but far from least, Vikki and JA can revel in the love for each other with which they are exploding.

I worry about the laptop though. (Just kidding). Vikki left it sitting there in a very public place. I hope she has the novel on a flash drive in her room because the laptop may get ripped off. And speaking of the room, what about the doors??? Are they going to shut the doors before they jump in bed?

Tonight FF, nil brain, scumbag Nelson shows up. I want JA to jump out of bed and beat the crap out of him.
 

JUlia...I agree that the house is beautiful. I especially love how open and light it is with all those gorgeous windows and French doors.. I could be muy contents there.
 

Every time the rich people in these shows go to their Cuernavaca houses, I think "why don't you live there all the time? I would never leave!"

 

Wow! What an episode last night And
SuperMarta to break it down for us.
Great--Great job Marta. Do we call you Marta or Super from now on?

Everyone has said just about everything that I would have said so I will just leave it at that but things are sure starting to come together.
the gringo
 

I too liked the Nikki Guzman scene where she dropped all her '125 reasons' at his feet, and he read some of them... talk about spilling your heart to someone...

I also liked the way Carlos faced up to Anyballs... maybe that was Carlos' top priority even more important than checking out Vicky's current status... he really wanted to slap his current 'celebrity' status at Anyballs, regardless of whether ANyballs would change his mind about him... and he gets Adri as a bonus... and Adri gets a man who faces up to her father instead of showing a price tag.

Ni-Brains has also shown he is Nil-guts
 

ditto...The place is amazing, inside and out. Hmm..Do you think that there's any chance that Big angel might throw Furball out those beautiful French doors when he barges in on the happy, sated couple ????
 

Wow, Dona G. Great idea for a scene...Big Angel jumping out of bed would be enough for me...thrashing Furry would be a bonus.
 

Not good. I thought Vikki had more class. After all, she IS still married! She just lowered herself to her rat-husband's level. Muy feo.
 

Best line evah....''I am here to take care of you...but above all ...to love you'' Put a fork in me...I'm done....Susanlynn, a puddle on the floor
 

"After all, she IS still married!"

Technically. She would've divorced Nelson a long time ago if Aníbal hadn't asked her to wait until he figures his own problems out.

Life is short, and she waited long enough.
 

great recap Marta, finally we got the love scene, we're waiting for this like forever, I'm very loosely following this TN but couldn't miss this ep.
it was worth waiting for, very nicely done!

now just get Nikki & Guzmi together any maybe Lili and Roy(??)

 

I don't think Vicky is ANYWHERE NEAR Nil-brain's low level.

He slept around with all manner of women he didn't care about, starting who knows when (probably throughout their whole marriage), while Vicky still thought they had a real marriage going. Not to mention, with employees/friends of the family.

Vicky has long since told him it's over and demanded a divorce. He's making it difficult, but their marriage is only a technicality at this point, and Nils knows it. She is not betraying him.
 

And Anibal is in no hurry, either to *engineer* that divorce. He keeps saying he has a plan, but the one character we never see doing any planning is Anyballs. I'm going to say he likes the status quo (at least for now) when he can control the scandal and secrets away from himself. I'm surprised he didn't have any visible negative reaction to the whole world knowing that KendraHo's basketball belonged to him.

Oh, and Marta--I loved that you recognized the Mez hut as being oh, so very exactly like the one in Refugio from the inside, window and all. AV's has a little Virgencita shrine added. The outside was different, but that's ok, we *insiders* know what's what.

From the D.F. to Cuernavaca is a little over an hour (bet. 76-80 km, depending on route). If you only go to MetaImagen two or three times a week, it would be perfect. But then you'd be missing out on all the restaurants, art galleries, kidnappings, malls, shootings, lectures, robberies, and just the plain excitement of being in the city.

 

I meant the basketball belonged to Nil-sansBrain
 

Anita~~~ha....Thanks for the giggle. Who wants to miss all that excitement in the DF[?] Nil-sansBrain..for sure ... Nil-sans-ethics ..... Nil-sans Honor........Nil-sans-Values....Nil-sans-Purpose....Nil-sans-teeth if he barges in to the love nest...and hopefully Nil-sans-VIKKI pretty soon
 

I don't think that after 25 years that Carlos would be considered a hand me down to Adriana. I think they look good together and have a lot in common.

Will Vikki forgive Jocelyn? (Did Jocelyn also sleep with FF?) Will Vikki forgive Doris (when she finds out) for encouraging the "arranged marriage" so Doris could keep up her lifestyle?

It was so sweet that the Angel wore the jacket (that Vikki bought him on her sabatical) when he made his advances to Vikki.

Leo's mother probably told the police that came to apprise her of Leo's demise that Guillo was missing, and possibly heading back to DF to his Mamita.

Perhaps Bea and Frankie raised themselves with an absentee mother and gambler father. Whatever, they both have a lot of love and compassion for others.

I think Nikki's letter writing was therapeutic and showed Frankie that she had some dimension. All that alone time was good for her.

We need some anvils and we need them NOW!!! Let's start with FF, say.

Of course Odette would go to Switzerland. She's all about the image. Do you think it's too much to ask that she reconsider? Or is she just like Anibal and won't consider anything or anyone other that "what about me"?

Enjoyed the recap. Enjoyed the comments. Fabulous, as always!!!
 

It's interesting about parents. SOmetimes, the children of good parents go astray. I remember an assistant school principal telling me how much influence peers have on kids , Then, you see kids who somehow rise above bad parenting lot become good,responsible adults, probably due to some positive role models in their lives, teachers, coaches,neighbors, friends' parents, other relatives. Perhaps, Guz and Bea were very close growing up and helped raise each other.
 

Excellent recap Marta!

Was anybody expecting JA and Victoria to get together this episode? I don't know if it may have been spoiled by previews but at the time it aired here I was very surprised even though it was something we were waiting for many episodes.

I liked that they let them be very passionate and I thought their chemistry was excellent there. I didn't notice the chair lol.

The letters thing from Nikky and Guzman reminded me of a teen tv show I used to watch years ago.

I like Cuernavaca but there's something about DF that is very enchanting, it's just so full of everything. And the rich characters don't have to deal with public transportation so they don't deal with most of the downsides of the city lol.

Technically, Victoria is still married, so technically, yes - she's 'betraying' her husband. Just because he did it first and often doesn't change that. And now when he accuses her of 'revolcandose' with her guarda espaldas she can't technically deny it (not that she cares, I know). Also, with the double standard that exists, if (when) her relationship with JA becomes known, even Nikki and Liliana (not to mention Anibal) will be more disgusted with Vikki/Arriaga than with Nelson/Kendra. Just saying.

Anon 2:58
 

For me it's not not betrayal because Nelson did it first (does that make sense?). It's not betrayal because Vicky has filed for divorce and made it clear she wants to end their marriage to Nelson.

Her love life shouldn't have to be on hold just because Nelson refuses to sign the papers, and her father refuses to kick him out of their family home and business. Nelson is holding Vicky hostage, and I am glad that she is snatching back some of her freedom by making a go of it with the man she loves.


 

Marta - Thank you for the recap! it was a fun-filled, busy episode.

Yay! Balzac sighting! Yay!

Nelson is the south end of a northbound donkey. Schmuck. Narcissistic jerk. sha la la, sha la la

Vivi - when Nelson said that, I immediately recalled that Vikki was a willing wife. That jerk.

I liked that scene where Nikki throws the love letters at Guzman.

I am so relieved that Guzman followed the doc in the hospital to "Guillermo Solis" room. I was yelling at my TV for him to follow.

So Guillo had salmonella? Eeeew…. fever is not the only symptom. Ack. I don't want to think about it.

Adri looked like she sort of likes the idea of "marrying" Carlos/Joan to spite Anibal.

Cynderella - It is clear that Arriaga eats his Wheaties in the morning (the breakfast of champions) and Guzman eats ….? I'll take JA over FG any day. ;o)

"Is anyone smoking a cigarette ?" susanlynn - ROFLOL!

 

I thought that Salsero told Betty that some people had reported to the Police that they had seen Guillo get into a camioneta that was being driven by some artisanos on their way to DF so they were on the lookout for him and were expecting to find him soon.

Carlos
 

Not saying that Vikki doesn't have a right to her own happiness and for all intents and purposes her marriage is over, just saying that (IN MY OPINION) she should've had better class than to bump uglies w/Arriaga before she was legally free. Look at Beatrice. That jerk pig Nelson is nowhere near as despicable as leo the low and yet, Bea was classy enough to put her relationship on hold with Salsero until her divorce came through.

Just stating my opinion on this, pure and simple. I thoroughly get all other opinions, but just wanted to state my own. :-)
 

I understand and respect your opinion.

I guess I'm just disillusioned with the legal system. I care about personal relationships and honesty, but legal technicalities are pretty irrelevant to me.
 

Doris, I have to give it to Guzman. He might be a little sensitive in the bedroom; however, he still has a little freak in him. Not many men would have the guts to sleep with the bride in a barn on her wedding day. That's pretty bold and ballsy (excuse the pun). Like you said, he's not a Wheaties man. He's not in to all of those athletics. He's more of a thinking man. I'm going to go with Rasin Branch Crunch. It should be healthy for you, but it's got a lot of extra stuff going on in there.

Cynderella
 

Blogger ate my earlier comments.
Here is another attempt only briefer.

I thought kiss #3 was right on target. I am glad Vicki/JA finally had a passionate lip lock and then some (right Madelaine?)

I applaud the writers for giving two mature actors a chance to have a hot, sizzling story line. Usually the galan is paired with someone 15 years younger. Not this time and BRAVO.

FF: you are estupido and an imbecile. Really, taking to Nikki and blaming Vikki for your skirt chasing, when it was you who went cold. Jerk. And evidently you needed some help from "the little blue pill". Arriaga sure didn't. Another area where you are totally deficient.

I hope Guzman reads every letter Nikki wrote. It was good therapy for her and those letters might be the only way he will believe she is sincere.

Good resolution to the Guillo disappearance. I am glad it did not go on too long.

I think Carlos/Joan was more interested in revenge and showing up Aniballs than really courting Vikki. He seems more taken with Arianna (which is great). She could use a lift in the romance department.

Plenty left to go with Paula, Candelaria and Kendho.
 

sb - talking to Nikki
 

Cynderella - OMG! I almost typed in "Raisin Bran" in my original post above but decided to leave it as ". . . " Well, at least he's getting his fiber. ;-)
 

ANonymous....YEs, good points. Bea certainly has a very strong moral compass. Nelson is a pathetic oxygen waster, but the low one was a monster. IF anyone deserves a happily ever after, it's poor BEa. She did not have a nurturing , secure childhood , and then, it was going from the frying pan into the fire when she married the low one.
 

Hmmm....I eat multigrain Cheerios for breakfast most mornings. Maybe Guz is a Cheerios kind of guy.
 

Susanlynn, clearly Guzman is an undercover freak. He leaped at the opportunity to get him some Nikki. He is an anytime anywhere anyplace type of guy! Damn the circumstances! What about Cheerios says...damn the consequences. Rasin Bran Crunch pretends to be good for you, but it's got a whole bunch of other stuff going on in there.

Cynderella
 

Raisin Bran Crunch may not be a heart attack waiting to happen, but it's got a little variety.

Cyderella
 

I think he's taken his cue from Aaron Diaz, and eats Honey Bunches of Oats.
 

Anon- I'm not saying your point isn't valid, I'm just saying that my reasons for not being upset with Vicky and JA have nothing to do with Nelson doing it first (tit for tat).

Bea has a small child and a volatile criminal husband to consider in her situation. She had to tread VERY carefully with how she went forward (or didn't) with her relationship with Salsero. She and Vicky are absolutely not in the same boat. Bea was in a far worse situation where she had to consider many more factors. I applaud her for going slowly, although I don't think she was any better off for giving in to Leo's threats and ending her relationship with Salsero all those months. But her safety and that of her child were in play.

Vicky's child is a grown woman, and she is in a very different stage/place in her life. I understand respecting marriage vows. But this relationship was dead long ago, and she had made it known over and again to Nelson that their marriage is done and over and she wants out.

 

Guzmi may have started eating Lucky Charms. Nikki's back, Guillo's back, Leo's dead...things are looking up for Guzmancito.
 

lol this discussion is heading interesting ways... my brkfast cereal is either honey nut cheerios or generic honey bunches of oats with almonds. i usually pour extra almond/cranberry slices into my bowl to add more crunch.

wow! recent episodes had few comments and today it has been overflowing... thanks everyone! but then again this was an episode that we were all waiting for, if not for guillo found then for Frankie/Nikki if not for Vicki/JA. SO everyone got what they were waiting for.
now if only Frankie comes back to Nikki and Nil-Brains got pushed through one of those french doors by JA like some suggested, tonight will be the crowning over yesterday's ep.
 

CYn.....Bhawawaw...excellent points...WEre you on the debate team ? Would it sway you about the Cheerios theory if i told you that I sometimes add dried cranberries to mine ?...?.occasionally some banana slices...no?....Maybe Guz likes him some Crispy Cremess in the a.m. ...Now there's something with no redeeming value.
 

Carlos, you are totally right in your detailed description of what i just said was 'Dances has leads'.

Salsero told Betty that some people had reported to the Police that they had seen Guillo get into a camioneta that was being driven by some artisanos on their way to DF so they were on the lookout for him and were expecting to find him soon.

that is what i heard too.

 

Bingo...I think we have a winner....Lucky Charms !!!!
 

Julia, we are talking about Arriaga's aggressive style on the on the desk, against the wall, on a chair, in the hallway, on a bed, on a patio and against a window (Geez, I'm tired just thinking about it) vs Guxman's not so aggressive style in the hay. Based on that, what do you think Guzman eats for breakfast.
 

Well, I guess, if I think about it. Perhaps Lucky Charms would be a good choice for Guzman. It was Lucky that he came upon Nikki standing in the Barn. He was lucky that Roy didn't shoot him or bust him out when he found him out in the barn.

Cynderella
 

~~FLy your freak flag, GUz...but only after consuming a hearty breakfast.
 

maybe Guzman goes for something slow to eat, like bran flakes or grape nuts, Nikki needs to add some chocolate chips once they begin living together to add the sweetness... he certainly has the 'goodness' already in there.
 

Question~~Will Furry rush in , see the broken chair ,and scream, ''SOMEONE'S BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR.''' [Big sissy, you ARE going out one of those French doors, ]
 

Wow...''on the desk, against the wall, on a chair, in the hallway, on a bed, on a patio, and against a window.'' Woo...How do I love thee ? Let me count the places. I could use that sentence to teach prepositions. ...but I'll probably just print it out for me.
 

susanlynn, ROFLOL on the Question~~Will Furry scream
''SOMEONE'S BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR.''' [Big sissy, you ARE going out one of those French doors, ]

also on the preposition lesson. good idea!
 

Super Marta = Super recap! I feel like I understand Spanish perfectly when I read your recaps. Thank you for taking the time to give us one of your perfect gems!

Doris: Nelson is the south end of a northbound donkey. Schmuck. Narcissistic jerk. sha la la, sha la la

You always crack me up!!!! Hilarious!!! And Cyn, make no mistake, this epi was PERFECT for one of your recaps!!! Even if it would have been PG-13!!

Thanks Marvelous Marta!;)

Katy
 

More LOL because I had pegged Guzman as a Lucky Charms guy also. :-D

I can see Nikki eating Fruit Pebbles.
 

Well, based on the barn scene, maybe he eats All-Bran. It looks like hay. Or Shredded Wheat.
 

I can see Nikki eating Froot Loops; she kind of is a Froot Loop.
 

Late to the party but have to say --

Great recap and great comments! Thanks!
 

Susanlynn, print two copies. Ahem.

Cynderella
 

Carlos--You heard right--Salsero did report that someone saw Guillo getting into a camioneta headed for DF. What a coinkydink, no?

Gringo--Miss Marta has been SuperMarta for a good long time now, at least two tns back.

Anon @5:07. Bea had one big advantage as to slowing things to a halt until she got her divorce. Leo disappeared before he could sign (which he wasn't going to do). When couldn't be found to sign papers, she was able to get a divorce without him being present. Not the case with Miss Vikki.

Cheerios--Do you all remember Cartas a Juan? I miss him.

Great discussion--What are our Characters' favorite cereal--will have to add this to the next issue of El Clamor Publico.



 

The reason why Bea stopped seeing Salsero, was because he was watching her, and she wanted Guillo back. It had nothing to do with her marital status. It was all about getting full custody of her son.
 

Audrey--Anon@5:07 was talking about Salsero and Bea not having relations until her divorce came through vs. Vikki & Arriaga doing the horizontal tango before she was divorced from NilsBrain. The Guillo kidnapping came much afterwards--but correctly, his instructions were that she was not to see Salsero again--cause he was watching her.
 

Marta what fun!!!!My best episode ever.
Freudian slip, Bulge, explosion , broken Victorian chair!!!Love it!
What can I say, From the very beginning of this romance/novella, Vikki is portrayed as a free spirit, liberal and an artist to boot. Would one take it against her if she expressed the most purest form of love itself. I will not even notice that she is still married for in her heart that marriage is over and done with a long time ago and she was not thinking about it just her own world and that her beloved finally responded to her. Just saying.
