Amores Verdaderos #160 Tue 6/25/13 Evil wears very red lipstick

Amores Verdaderos Cap 160 6-25-13—Evil wears very red lipstick

A quick overview, more coming later:

EVENTS NOT LISTED IN ORDER, MAY NOT BE ENTIRELY ACCURATE

* Nikki and Guzmancito discuss their grim financial circumstances. Nikki is resolved to tough it out. She looks through the help wanted ads; some promising positions (dead-end jobs) but each has something wrong with it. At least she's willing to consider dead-end jobs, though. Good for you, Nikki!

* The Furry Fornicator is going to seal the deal on a new house for Kendra-the-Ho. She's crowing in triumph. She's also got the FF to sign over insurance papers in hers and Mia's name, leaving Nikki out of the equation entirely.

* Paula wonders to herself how long she can keep her illness a secret. Makeup covers up the bags under her eyes and her pale complexion for now, but how much longer?

* At the grand opening of Lili's garden goes well—at first. Roy the Boy is becoming more and more likable  as he embraces his garden assistant job under his "pretty boss," Lili. Drama plays out amidst the plants, however. Paula attends because Lili asked. Vicki and she bury the hatchet. Also Vicki buries the hatchet with Cande, now that she knows that Cande wasn't the ho that was off globetrotting with Anyballs when Vicki's mom was on her deathbed.

* Adriana confronts Cande now that she knows that she's Lili's "aunt." Why didn't Cande say anything? She and Anyballs are peas in a pod! Cande is so full of guilt that she's about to spill the beans ("She's more than your niece, she's your . . . !") but she chickens out at the last minute and just says that Lili regards Adri as a "second mother" and Cande urges Adri to make the most of that, as Lili really needs a mother-figure right now.

* Lili gives a tearful thank you speech to all the visitors, ending it with a heartfelt thanks to her mom, Christina.

* Kendra-the-Ho goes to visit Nikki and cause trouble. Nikki really isn't in the mood for it and keeps on telling Kendra to get the hell out. Kendra, of course, won't. She cries crocodile tears and pretends that she's "sorry" for all she's done. Nikki doesn't believe. Before the Ho leaves, she tells Nikki that Lili's big Grand Opening is today, and that Lili is the one taking advantage of Anyball's generosity, now that Nikki is on the outs with Anyballs.

* Nikki shows up at the Grand Opening to bum everyone out. She makes a jealous scene and bitches about Gramps and Lili. Lili says that Nikki is jealous (too true!). Nikki is ushered off and Gramps tries to smooth things over for the guests. Nikki tells a concerned Vicki that Gramps is closing doors for her and the Little Ape. Vicki seems surprised by this. (What? You think he wouldn't do that, after what he did to Carlos all those years ago?)

* Vicki approaches Anyballs about him blackballing Nikki and Guzmancito. Gramps says he doesn't have to explain anything to anyone. Vicki says she's an exception. He defends his douchebaggery by saying he doesn't approve of Guzmancito. This is all unacceptable for Vicki. She wants to help Guzmancito, as she later tells Big Angel. Big Angel understands, but advises her to be careful when offering help, as Guzmancito is like he is—poor, but proud.

* Vicki and Big Angel are discussing in a private corner of the garden, the bad blood between Nikki and Lili. They don't know what to do. Big Angel doesn't approve of the way Nikki talked to Lili. Lili has wandered by and overhears this. She stays to hear Vicki and Big Angel talk about "their relationship" and so the truth is out. She is all teary and unhappy and about to confront them when Roy the Boy pulls her away to tell her that they've got a big client! And there will be more where that comes from!

* On the way back home, Nikki passes by a restaurant with a "waitress wanted" sign. She goes in and asks for a job. Turns out the waitress they just hired hasn't shown up, so Nikki is going to get a chance! She is thrilled and gloats that regardless of Anyball's interference, she and Guzmancito will succeed, and the hell with Lili! Her little garden will fail, mwahahaha! Admiration and sympathy points for Nikki are all erased as she gloats at the thought of Lili's failure.

* The Ho is gloating with Espanto about her latest triumphs with the Furry Fornicator. He's getting them a house! She hints to Espanto that both the FF and her little sickly niña Mia are getting to be a drag. Espanto gets the message—he balks and says he's killed before, but killing a BABY?!?!? Even he won't sink that low! The Ho tells him that for the proper amount of cash, he'll manage. (Is this THE most evil character ever? I wonder!) Meanwhile, the FF has an upset—he isn't going to get the money to pay for the house after all. He's in a snit. When he tells the Ho the news, she has a shrieking fit. He hangs up on her—he doesn't need this crap right now! (Salsa-Dude is listening to this and chuckling to himself because he knows how furious the Ho will be.)  The Ho complains to Espanto about this latest upset, but talks about the FF has more funds (his stock in the new account UltraBelle) which will be coming soon. She'll be swimming in money! Espanto leers greedily behind her.

END OF EPISODE!

AVANCES: A sloshed-up Furry Fornicator seems on the cusp of spilling all the family secrets in front of everyone. MUST SEE TV!!!

Thanks for this most excellent recap!

I'm sorry but I felt bad for Nikki and Guzmi this epi. It is so sad they have absolutely no food in their place, no money coming in, and Anyballs has blackballed them from getting jobs in their fields. I can understand why Nikki went off, but she should have pulled old Anyballs outside and let him have it. But I think Nikki purposedly went off because from her point of view, Lili is reaping the bennies she used to have, and I think Nikki is thinking that Anyballs is using Lili, in a way he is, to get back at Nikki for hooking up with the poor bodyguard, which Anyballs announced to one and all. Even Betty was shocked when he said smack about Frankie! I am glad though that Nikki is trying to get a job, good for her! I wish she would accept a bit of help from her Mama. Especially the food issue, cause Nikki really needs the proper nutrition cause she has bulimia.

Lili, I am happy for, but not happy for her attitude. She was rude to Ms Vikki again, yes, I know she thinks this thing with Angel and Ms Vikki was going on when her Mama was alive, but still, she should give Angel a chance to explain everything and stop with the what she thinks she knows stuff. I know, I know. Lili didn't know, but still, who gave Lili that job taking care of the Balvanera plants in the first place? I think her attitude is going to get worse, just my opinion.

Oooo, Cande almost let it slip and good catch she caught herself! I still don't like the fact she hasn't told Adri the truth. She needs to spill. I am really disappointed in Adri.

Kendho is just horrid, and I can't wait for her huge anvil. Too kill your own bebe? That is just too much, sick bebe or not! She just doesn't want to take care of her. I really hope this plan is foiled. Oh, and besides, how does she think she is getting all his shares and moola, if he dies? I know he made out a new will, but he isn't divorced yet. We will have to wait and see. I think if he were to drop dead, by some happenstance and Ms Vikki found out about this will, she would fight it on Nikki's behalf.


FF yeah, gets a semi pie cart! I can't stand he has gotten away with so much already. I'm glad the check never materialized and he told off Kendho on the phone. They are so much alike! The deserve each other.

I like how Adri pushes. She almost had Cande there, lol. At least she knows she is Lili's Tia, but I want Adri to know that Lili is really Lucia, it's about time! Oh, and I hope Adri talks to her about her anger against Ms Vikki and the Angel. I want Lili to see reason. I understand her anger, but she is an adult now and needs to look at all the circumstances.
 

OOo, typo, I am disappointed in Cande not Adri : )
 

Oh, and how could I leave Anyballs out of my previous post. He is just the worst, eva! How can he pit one granddaughter against the other like that, granted they don't know they are related yet, but he knows. And to bad mouth Frankie and Nikki like that in front of all those people! Didn't Lili call Nikki a liar when she pointed that out? And then whenever any Balvanera female or any female for that matter exhibits any kind of independence or asks too many questions, they are crazy enough for the manicomio! He really needs to be in the manicomio! It's too bad Ms Vikki can't oust him from Meta Imagen and take over completely. He needs a huge, huge anvil but Kendho needs the hugest!
 

I'm sorry Mads, I think Kendra is the most awesome villain ever.

Thanks for the recap Elvira

Elvira: Excellent title. Your superb recap was ripe with interesting details. Love your spin on things: "Her little garden will fail, mwahahaha";" and " Admiration and sympathy points for Nikki are all erased as she gloats at the thought of Lili's failure". All wonderful. My favorite line was "Espanto leers greedily behind her".

Not sure how you manage to capture all of the details in such a sharp, succinct way but you do!

I especially appreciate the details as much of this was preempted due to special election coverage. I saw Lili overhearing JA and Vicky and the next thing I see is she is trotting along happily with Roy! Seems his timing was most opportune. I'm sure hearing the conversation just confirmed what she already knew. Her continually rude, snotty behavior to Vicky is uncalled for and I hope JA puts an end to it soon.

Happy that Nikki has a job! But ummm, does she have any idea at how all to be a server? Reveled in her determination and grit to find employment but cringed at her ill timed and just plain mean speech at Lili's opening.

Glad Adriana confronted Cande - a well deserved dressing down.

Madelaine, astute ovservation that Nikki should seek help from Vicky due to the nutritional issue and her continuing battle with bulimia. Also, I smiled when I read your comments about Anibal. ITA with everything you said. We are SO done with him, aren't we ;)

The Santino freefall (opinion, not spoiler) has not even begun. So many more anvils to fall and increasingly little time...Kendra's grim nefarious plans for Mia (although heartbreaking) weren't really a revelation. It is in keeping with her character, without heart, soul and totally berefit of human kindness. Looking forward to her spiraling downward and quickly.

Great recap Elvira. You covered all the main highlights perfectly.

What Nikki did was wrong, wrong, wrong, and done out of jealousy. I bring up again the fact that Lili did not make a scene at Nikki's wedding in front of all the guests, despite finding out her boyfriend was the groom. Here Lili is fulfilling one of her life's dreams, in the name of her dead mama, and has just given a speech about her mama, and Nikki interrupts with b*tchy comments in front of everyone. Not cool at all. No excuses for that.

I am so glad that Roy caugh Lili before she went and confronted JA and Vicky. She gets big points from me for pulling it together to put business first, and she really wasn't that rude to Vicky (IMO) afterwards. Just coldly polite to her. That's WAY better than anything I was expecting after her suspicions about JA and Vicky were confirmed. Way to go Lili. Now, let's see what she does once they are all back in the privacy of the Balvanera home. Yikes!

I also liked Nikki's willingness to do any job. The waitress she spoke to was one of the waitress friends of Luciana in Refugio. I'm glad Nikki told Vicky about what Anibal has done (would have been best in private). But Frankie really needs to drop this pride thing. It is not taking a handout to accept Vicky being your job reference. He did a good job, didn't he? She was his boss, wasn't she? I don't see how it would be a slight to him to have her step in to intervene. Stupid male pride.

Wow. Kendra is really evil to want to kill her own baby. But I see she's not evil enough to do it, or any of her other murders, with her own hands. She loses evil points for outsourcing.

If Nelson names Kendra (and Mia) as his sole beneficiary in his will, I wouldn't think it would matter if he's still legally married to Vicky or that Nikki is his child. I guess Vicky and Nikki would be able to fight it, but I think their chances of winning would be slim.
 

Elvira - thanks for the recap!

Nikki waiting tables . . . Wow. That is a job I would never do without being a complete, epic FAIL, if I ever tried. I always hold servers in the highest esteem, having to juggle all that stuff and keep hungry (grumpy) customers happy. Should be interesting to see how Nikki does, especially with the rude customers.

Kendra ... pure evil.
 

Vivi: "She loses evil points for outsourcing' - indeed! :)

doris: yes, it will be interesting to see if Nikki is able to keep her cool with customers. Patience may not be her strongest suit (cough, cough)...

"Drama plays out amidst the plants"

What a lovely turn of phrase, Elvira! And what a terrific, pithy recap! Thanks so much.

Vivi:

"I bring up again the fact that Lili did not make a scene at Nikki's wedding in front of all the guests, despite finding out her boyfriend was the groom."

It's too bad she DIDN'T make a scene. She could have saved Nikki from being Rollero'ed.

I'm glad Nikki spoke up as she did. Now every single person who needed to know knows what Aníbal is doing to her and Frankie.

So Nelson was planning to buy the HoHouse on Meta Imagen's dime? Hah! (We saw Aníbal tell the finance guy not to cut him a check.) Maybe Kendra's shrewish display of "disappointment" will make Nelson reconsider signing over his ass-ets to her.

This is getting good. Can't wait for tonight.
 

Elvira – fantastic recap. I’m always amazed how you pack so much in so smoothly, like this gem: “Admiration and sympathy points for Nikki are all erased as she gloats at the thought of Lili's failure.”

I’m glad Lili got interrupted on business by Roy, but she and her dad need to talk alone. JA has lied (repeatedly) to her, which makes him and Vickie look worse. I wish JA had at least told Lili that they were dating to break it gently over time, but nope. In truth, JA and Vickie did not get horizontal (or vertical) while Cris was alive, but Cris did get hurt by them. No loving daughter would be thrilled with someone hurting her mom. Lili will just need time.

Nikki should raid the Balvanera fridge. JM and Tomi won’t mind. I raid my parents’ fridge all the time, even though I have a job.

The plants were gorgeous. What a beautiful setting for dark secrets.

I liked the way JA looked at Roy when Roy told Nikki to leave and stop bothering Lili. Looks like maybe JA saw the rollero isn’t so bad after all.
 

Vivi:

I get what your saying about Lili being coldly polite to Ms Vikki, but why did Angel pull her off to the side after she was so cold? I think he felt she was rude too. Angel really needs to sit down and tell her the whole truth, even though she heard what she heard. She doesn't know the full story, only that she thinks her Mama was right.

Cynderella:

I know ; )

Diana:

I know what you mean about Santino. The anvil is inching closer and I want him to start fessing up and redeeming himself. I do like his enjoyment of seeing Kendho not getting what she wants.
 

I think it's good that Lili did not create a scene at the Roy-ki wedding. Nikki needed to go through that-- marry Roy and the four months that followed, in order to grow up and realize that she truly does love Guzman. She also learned to be honest with Roy and herself.
 

Doris:

I too like the fact that Nikki is growing up some, she still has a ways to go, in the Lili department that is. As far as her being a waitress, I can't wait for that. Can she keep her rudeness to herself when people get rude with her? I can't for that.

Niece:

I liked your idea of raiding the fridge, lol. I too think they wouldn't mind. I see what you are saying about Lili, but it seems to me she is jumping to the same conclusion her Mama did about Ms Vikki and the Angel as her Mama did, as far as what happened in the past, not what is happening now. I really hope the Angel does talk to her one on one, alone and that she listens to what he tells her. I know she needs time to process, but what gets me is I don't think she will. I know she needs to process the info, but I have a feeling she is going to believe what she wants to believe. She is very obstinate just as her Mama was. Don't get me wrong, I liked Cris, but not her jealousy rants.
 

I do apologize for knocking Lili, but believe it or not, I really do like the character of Lili. I just wish the writers hadn't made her assume like her Mama did, about the past with Vikki and Angel doing it all that time, not what is going on now. This I think she will have the problem with the past. I too am glad Roy had her focus on bidness and took her off. I can understand now why Lili is angry with the Angel for not telling her that Ms Vikki and the Angel have been involved since her Mama died and for that I don't blame her. Angel should have told her. It's the phrase she said, when he was listening to the Angel and Ms Vikki talk about their relationship now, is that her Mama was right about the past. That is what bothers me so much. Assumptions!
 

Elvira - thanks for your great recap! It's truly appreciated!

Vivi - ditto on your Nikki and Lili comments. The "girls" are struggling with maturity and still have a way to go in the jealousy dept.

I fault the Angel for not being straight with Lili (although I can't blame him for her rude behavior with Vikki). Angel should have told Lili about his feelings for Vikki and his conflicted emotions about Chris so Lili would have time to adjust to the idea of her father moving on with another woman.

Kendra really is evil incarnate to want to kill her own child. And when the insurance policy goes into effect, she'll get rid of the FF too. I hope the writers have an especially nasty end for her.

Can hardly wait to see Nikki as a waitress. The comic possibilities are infinite!

I'm guessing the Cande-bal wedding won't happen. Anyballs has so many balls in the air that he's got to be smacked by one soon, and the engagement will be over.

Barbara
 

The RESET button for Cristina was her imminent death. She saw her life with clarity, set aside the 'noise' and gave her blessings to Arriaga to love again.

For Paula? Her RESET button is also her own mortality although she has been given a few months to set her life in order.

I am guessing that the RESET button for Lili -- what will distract her from the idea that she has the right to tell José Ángel whom he may and may not love -- will be learning who her biological parents are and coming face to face with Vicente Celorio.
 

Thanks, Elvira!

Sigh, Nikki. Two steps forward, one step back. Although, if she's successful at that waitressing gig, I will be impressed. I tried working in food service once, many years ago, and was spectacularly terrible at it.

Hey, you know who would probably LOVE to hire two people Anibal and FF don't want hired? YAWN CARLOS! Surely he needs all sorts of staff for his upcoming film project.

Frankie needs to get over his stubborn independence and at least let Vicky provide him a better reference. Succeeding on your own doesn't have to mean needlessly making everything harder for yourself.
 

Thanks for another nifty recap, Madelaine. Well done.

I love that Nikki is going to be a waitress. I think that she'll be great at it. She is not innately rude.

So now Ratiana has learned in the worst possible way about her dad and Vikki? They just had to indulge in a little PDA at her nursery opening? So why shouldn't she think that this all started before her mom was killed? ... Oh... that's right... it did.

Carlos

 

Carlos:

I can't take credit for this most marvelous recap. Elvira did this marvelous recap ; )
 

Madelaine,

Duh... I knew that...

Elvira,

thank you for this most excellent recap.

Carlos
 

Elvira---Thank you for the recap.
After reading all of the comments, I couldn't get this thought out of my mind. As Vivi said, Lili didn't
make a scene and disrupt Nikki's wedding even though in her eyes, Nikki stole Roy from her. Now it's Lili's big day and here comes Nikki
the Brat Princess [well not so much a princess anymore] to make a scene and disrupt the nursery's grand opening celebration. My guess
is that Nikki will be rewarded with some special flowers [not from Lili's nursery] and some nice luxury snacks for the Nikki up-front patio table.
Of course nothing will be brought to lili's table located in patio Sibera. That's ok,
Susanlynn and myself will be back there to keep lili company. And after Lili and her dad work things out, I'm sure that JA will stop by the Lili table also.
the gringo
 

Nikki's table is currently out of food, but hoping for a pizza delivery soon.

Lili's table is currently serving a large salad of bitter greens with vinegar.
 

Vikki and Arriaga have set up an oyster bar at their table.
 

Haven't had time to read the comments yet, but thank you Elvira--always love your "quick overviews."

Had to watch Uruguay lose to Brazil in the last few minutes of a Fifa match after a hard-earned goal had them tied. It was akin to watching little David and giant Goliath, but in this instance, Goliath won.

 

Mads--Only a semi pie cart for FF? I'd want him to get the whole thing. He's just being vindictive and mean and he and Anyballs ought to know that when you tell a Princesa 'No' she just wants it more--and she does.
 

Everyone noticed, si?, how KendHo hands off all her evil jobs. I hope a shred of decency is left in Espanto for him to say no dice when it comes to an inocente. It was interesting how he was smoothing out (fondling?) KendHo's wigs so lovingly.

I'm glad FF didn't get the Anyball approval for the check. Did he even tell AnyB what the money was for? What chutzpa to try to use MetaImagen money so as not to dip into his own bank account. Have he and Vikki split the bank accounts yet, or are they still joint. Vikki ought to look into that, unless she's had her own account all along.
 

Oh, si, Vivi, you did notice. I'm not far enough down in the comments yet!
 

I thought semi pie cart meant a pie cart the size of a semi truck.
 

Thanks so much Elvira!

Bad JA - the thing that bugs me most about his lying to Lili is that he would call her judgement into question - telling her she was seeing things, etc. That's a very shabby way to treat your daughter, and the trust will be damaged big time.

I loved that the check was stopped!!! Nelson has rather limited assets at the moment, probably always did, I suspect, and every last dime he has now is invested in Ultrabelle. I remember him freaking when Viki was shot, because they were married by "separated assets" and he would be left with absolutamente nada. So he thinks MetaImagen should just buy Kendho a house? That was hilarious! He does seem to have delusions that he owns/runs the company. Just like Kendho has delusions that she somehow has access to all the Balvanera money through someone named Brizz.
