CI #22: Maricruz’s Life in the Big City Begins and the Fickle Finger of Fate After a Few False Starts Finally Gets It Right
Cap 22
Lo del Pasado:
Maricruz
and Solita have left for Mexico City in order to escape the hopeless poverty
and prejudice of her pueblo and possibly to find her daddy. With both Octavio and Mari permanently out of
the picture, Lucia has easily talked Miguel into pocketing the cash from Octavio’s
money order rather than returning it. Tav’ll
never know because Luciafer (thanks, Cathyx!) has made Miguel agree to never
mention a word of this to his brother.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Maricruz, still
clinging to her Abuelo Ramiro’s box of ashes, and Solita arrive in the D.F. Just outside the entrance to the bus terminal she gets a hint of the heat those
cement city sidewalks can give off and she finally succumbs to purchasing a
couple pair of one-size fit all sandals for her and Solita. (Whew!
That’s a load off Viewerville’s mind!)
They jump in the first cab available and head for police comandante’s comadre’s
boarding house that he told her about.
Just so happens that this is the same boarding house that Eduardo found
for Tav to stay in. (Duhn-duhn-duhnn!) Tav has been checking on his mail and ducked out for a breath of fresh air. He walks back inside just before Mari and
Solita’s cabbie pulls up to the curb.
Mari doesn’t know how to count change, she tells the cabbie, but that’s okay cuz the cabbie is as honest as the day is long. He takes a choice bill out of the handful she’s given him and returns the rest.
Mari doesn’t know how to count change, she tells the cabbie, but that’s okay cuz the cabbie is as honest as the day is long. He takes a choice bill out of the handful she’s given him and returns the rest.
The two
sisters get out of the cab and stare at TOPIM (the only pensión in Mexico City)
a moment as Tav checks his mail at the front desk. Tav finishes with his mail and walks off--we
assume to his room--just before the two girls walk inside and introduce
themselves to dona Serafina. She shows them to their rooms and likes Mari’s
can do attitude so much that she offers to send her to a job interview to
replace a friend of hers as servant. Tomorrow, first thing, she’s to get a bath,
comb her hair and put on a clean dress and thenSerafina will give her the address.
The next
day, at Alejandro’s manse, he’s griping because he can’t stand the tasteless
menu we suppose his cardiologist has put him on. Tobias reminds him that there are others out
there with absolutely no food to stick in their bellies at all. This gets Ale’s head
right. (Thanks, Toby!) Ale takes a phone call and Toby answers the
door. As fate would have it, this is the
address that Serafina’s friend gave her. Mari’s at the door of her long-lost
daddy’s manse intending to ask for a job!! (Duhn-duhn-duhnnnn!)
Back at
the pueblo, Santa and Dionisia, Ofelia’s gossipy friend, are chatting about it
being a good thing that Mari and Soli have left town. “—Good thing that Solita left because from
what I could tell Eusebio was keen for her, and if she hadn’t left she’d have
had a hard time of it [pasarle mal] You
know what that good for nothing lout [pelado] is like.”
Tobias
first looks Maricruz over and mistakenly thinks she’s there for a handout. Lord no, she tells him! She’s got two good hands and she is looking
for work. “--Like what’s so bad about that? If an old man like you can do it, I certainly can.” He tells her she’s too uppity and
closes the door in her face. She heads
back to the boarding house.
Inside,
Ale asks who was at the door. Tobias says
it was just some scruffy, unkempt [desaliñado] looking young girl asking for a job. “--Well, if she was looking for work why didn’t
you hire her?” Toby says with a hint of
a high-brow sneer on his face that she was too young and too rude for his
liking.
Santa asks
Dio if she’d seen anything in particular.
Dio tells her about the time she saw Eeewie grab Solita at the river and
force a kiss on her. Santa realizes
now that that must have been the reason she was so terrified before. She asks Dio if possibly something more might
have happened. “—I do!”
After
considering it for a bit, Alejandro asks Tobias to go ahead and request a young
girl from the Ramirez agency for the job.
He’d rather have somebody young and cheerful in that drab, depressing
house.
While
Maria is walking back to the city??? Solita has another nightmare about the
rape. Serafina
is comforting Soli behind her reception desk.
Tav walks
in to say he’s off for another flight. Solita
is sitting with her back to the other side of the reception area. He stops as if he might think there’s
something familiar about her, but decides not to pursue it and walks out the
front door to the street. Mari sees him
from a distance in an unfamiliar pilot’s uniform but doesn’t quite recognize
him, tho’ it seems she’s thinking there’s something familiar about him
also. He turns without a glance and
heads down the sidewalk in the opposite direction.
Santa
heads over to the Narvaez rancho and gives Ewwwie a piece of her mind. He squirms and slimes his way out of it and says
if she’s so interested in what happened to the deaf-mute she can ask her
herself! Santa curses him and leaves.
Once
Maricruz gets back and explains how she had the door literally slammed in her
face, Sera says tomorrow she’ll send her to an employment agency near
there. They’ll definitely be able to
find her a job, she assures her, and brings the two girls a huge
breakfast. “--Today it’s free, but
tomorrow you’ll have to pay for it. I’ll
give you the name of an inexpensive place nearby where you can buy whatever you
need.”
La India
Maria carries a cross to the burned out hut and lays a wreath at its base. She’s off to her old pueblo, she tells Ramiro's spirit wherever he is. On her
way back through the trees, Maria trips over the box of Alejandro’s letters
laying strewn over the ground. She picks them up and begins looking through
them.
Eduardo
and Tav meet at the restaurant at the airport again. Eddy congratulates him for getting promoted
so quickly back up to full pilot/captain again. “—That means you’ll be making lots more money
and can move into nicer digs.” Not
really, says Tav, he’s got to watch his pesos while he’s saving and sending
them on for Maricruz’s casita. Eddy
thinks he’s nutz, but Eddy’s a typical fly-boy who’s never fallen in luhhhv and
can’t believe his BFF is still stuck in this ridiculous hot-girl-in–the-hut-rut.
Speaking of Miguel, Tav says he hasn’t
heard a thing from his bro since he’s been there and is thinking of sending a
telegram.
The next
day Maricruz is dutifully sitting at the Ramirez Agency and gets sent to a
house with four bratty boys who’ve run off all the prior nannies. Their demanding mother apparently doesn’t believe in corporal punishment and lets
them run wild cuz, as she tells Maria, “that’s a boy’s nature.”
The verbal and physical abuse Maricruz receives once their mother leaves
the house makes her a saint. She can’t
stand them or their bossy mother's instructions not to lay a hand on a single hair of their angelic heads. When
the oldest brother tells MC to like it or lump it she’d like to lump him! “—If you
don’t like how things are here, you can leave!”
Oh, she’d love to all right, she tells Mr. Smart E. Pantz, but she’s not
leaving them alone till their mom gets back.
When Mama returns to the wrecked house MC tells her she can take her
brats and stick ‘em in the nearest zoo! Any complaints, tell Ramirez! She’s outtathere!
Tobias places
the call to the Ramirez Employment Agency, TOEAIM (the only employment agency
in Mexico City). The agent says he hasn’t
got a girl that fits the description just then but will keep his eyes open.
Awfelia
hears the end of the angry discussion she had with Ewwie and races after Santa
to find out what it was all about. Santa
tells her that if she wants to know so bad, she can ask her BFF Dionisia for
the low-down. Awfelia takes her at her
word and races into town. Dio tells her
the second verse is the same as the first: her man’s no good. He’s been seen messing around with Solita and
flickin’ his wick at who knows how many others…..Awfelia storms back to the
rancho and she’s fit to be tied.
As luck
would have it, Mari gets back to the agency and gives the guy there the rundown
about the last position he sent her to. “—The
boys were Hell’s own spawn! I stayed
just until their mother got back but would you please give me a different job?” The angry woman calls then and
complains. She’s refusing to pay or
something and the agency will have to give back their commission. He tries
calling Alejandro’s home hoping to speak to Toby. (Good man!)
It’s his day off so Alejandro answers.
The headhunter
tells him he’s got a young girl there he could send by if they don’t mind her
being straight off the melon truck. No,
a country girl isn’t tainted by the big city yet, says Ale. She’ll be just fine. I will speak with her since Tobias isn’t here. Send her right over!
Awfelia
gets back to the rancho and screams at Ewwie that she knows what he’s been up
to behind her back and that she’s pissed as hell over it. He lies that Solita was asking for it,
putting it out there for him to pick like low-hanging fruit. He grabs her and pulls her close. (Puh-leeze, the thought of smelling yesterday’s
booze and garlic on that guy’s breathe, mixed in with the tripe he ate for
breakfast is just way too much to handle!)
He’s a real man and men got urges!
She melts like butter and showers him with kisses. She can’t love anybody but him, ever! He may be a straying kind o’ man here and
there, but he’s her man!! (--And you’re welcome to him!)
The
Ramirez headhunter gives Mari the new address and tells her she’s got to try to
stick it out at least three days so they can justify their commission.
Mari takes
the cab ride and sees she’s been sent to the same place that slammed the door
in her face the day before. She doesn’t
know whether to leave or to stay and try again, but decides the man at the
agency wants her to stick it out for three days if she can. She walks up the drive and enters the
grounds. She sees the middle-aged
bearded man sitting in the garden and stares.
Will it be the call of the blood for the two of them or will he send her
away?

Good Morning, Jardinera. Thanks for this prompt recap. Wow...the fickle finger of fate, indeed. So many frustrating crossing of paths. I especially enjoyed Maria being pulled back by her scarf and then finding the IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS. da da dum It seems that Soilta is the chief monkey wrangler The actress. playing Serafina often plays servants. In Alborada, she was Cristobal's trusted housekeeper. In Duelo de Pasiones, she was Ninel Conde's trusted maid. Well, at least the monkey, Maricries and Solita got a good, square meal from sweet Seraphina.

Hey, Susanlynn got there first, but yes "hot-girl-in-the-hut-rut", pure vintage Jardinera prose. Love it.
Also loved:
"second verse is the same as the first" her man's no good"
A certain malicious pleasure in seeing Ofelia cave under to Eusebio. She deserves an awful fate and he certainly fills the bill.
Well, we have a fairy godmother in Maria, and in the kind lady at the boarding house. And a fairy godfather at the employment agency. Our Maricruz needs all she can get, Lord knows!
Thanks for a great recap, Jardinera, telling it like it is with down-home humor.

Ahh! My two favorite old-tymer comadres!! Thanks for the thumbs up. I kept seeing The Fates continue to miss with a borrachero's piss poor aim and thought "only in Telenovelaland." ; > ))
Good work, Jardinera.
Again we get the "passing by without seeing each other" cliche, which is probably in every novela ever made.
I'm sure Alejandro's butler won't appreciate the little simian Octavio.
As to those savage kids, there will always be payback for parents who allow that to happen.

Good one, tks Jardinera
cliches 18 & 19, such a coincidence, same pensión as Oct & sent to her padre's house for a job. cliche 20 tonight, the call of the blood.
I could have done w/o the bratty kids.
Hopefully MC will get a nice maids uniform from Alejandro.
I never see the mono eat, not even a banana. ASPCA take notice. For that matter, when does the mono take care of business?
I can relate to MC holding out her hand with the money for them to help themselves. I did that with the coins in Mex, but not the bills.

Vario: dunno about Moctavio's feedings, but I did hear Sera tell MC to make sure he does his "bidnez" outside on the back patio and then Sera would clean it up for her after. Forget pooper scoopers and doggie baggies in that part of the city I guess.
Great job, Jardinera.
One little detail - the main reason Tobias didn't like Maricruz is because she also said something like "if an old man like you can still work, I certainly can work too." More or less. I guess no man likes being told he is "old".

I was cracking up on your remarks, the only pension and employment agency in MX City can join the other "only" facilities they have in the city like hospital or bar or hotel or beauty salon.. the local architects and contractors must have plentiful opportunities over there with such an empty market for them.
TN cliche no. 22 . the sweet older landlady who helps them out..and gives them a boost to start/find a job
The majordomo pretty high and mighty don't you think?
But MC does not need to be worried about, she speaks her mind quite freely. I like this MC better!

Maricruz is an interesting character because she has no "filter". What she thinks she says.
She has not learned the social graces, nor the social hypocrisy yet. Will hope that she acquires a little polish but retains her honesty...albeit dosed with a little discretion.

regarding the money problems and cabbies.. I had the pleasure to have had the problem to manage and pay with different (and unknown) monies and bills and in my opininon it is not that easy.
I always tried to convert the currency in my head and compare prices and rates to my own.. it's pretty difficult.. I know I shouldn't do that, they say this is the worst you can do, but I can't help myself..
sometimes I did the same with the coins as MC

Thanks for taking us into chapter 2 of this TN Jardinera. Have to say the co-ink-di-dinks of events last night was almost comical, but that's a staple of TN's I guess. Love that in ALL the big city, and I mean a very big city, MC and Tav just happen to be staying at the same place. yeah....right.
We seem to still be getting a lot of life on the ranch scenes. I really could care about the EWWWWsome twosome. Hopefully there is a point to subjecting viewerville to their disgustingness. And thankfully, it is Maria who finds the documents. Now who gets to take those to the big city back to MC...a few simple questions to MC by Papa should have him be able to put two and two together as to who she is. (Wanna bet he doesn't ask those questions???)
Do love the landlady and her kindness to the girls. Solita especially needs that support.

LatinaInMD: Thanks for the clarification. Can't tell you how many times I <<RR that conversation. It makes more sense then. AB, like SN, speaks faster than even Alvan the Chipmunk at times and I cannot catch it all! Actually, nether can the CC's! LOL!
Great job Jardinera. I am so glad the girls met nice people in the big city instead or cruel people like the ones they left in the country, not counting Santa, JA, and Maria. Sarafina and the emails employment agency guy are good peeps.
Loved Santa figuring out what happened to Solita and going after Eww. I hope she gets the info to MC.
I also love that MC speaks her mind. I have a feeling Alejandro will also love this but Tobi won't.
The monkey was eating the scraps left on the girls' plates and then Solita gave him the rest of her juice to drink out of her glass! Not sure how Sara would feel about that.

Not sure why the word emails popped up in my comment. Lol.
I enjoyed the whole babysitting scene. It was funny and a nice break from the other drama in her life. It also showed that MC refuses to be a punching bag for these rich city people.

Jardinera and Judyb....So nice to see you both. I've been reading the Happiness Project site lately , and I've decided to do more of the activities that make me happy, which includes spending more time at caraycaray with old and new friends. I was happy to see some kindness happening in this episode from the fairy godmothers and fathers after all the evil we've seen in past episodes.

The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky (sp?) is good also. Just a straightforward study of what makes us happy and what promises to make us happy, but fades after a few weeks. Turns out money, beauty, success are short-term, but lots of other ways to bring satisfaction and fulfillment (that don't cost a thing and don't require plastic surgery or a winning lottery ticket!)
Judyb...I'll have to look for that book.

Jardinera:
Thanks so much for this fab recap. I too am glad that Solita and Mari found such nice people in the Big City. I wonder when Mari will run into Tav, since they live in the same place. That should be interesting.
I am glad Maria found those papers too, and I too wonder how she will get them to Mari.
I agree with Vivi about that nanny job being a hoot. Those boys were hell on wheels, lol. I liked how she took their rubber tipped arrows, lol.
I wonder when Tav will realize that Mari isn't in the pueblo anymore and that Miguel or should I say Luciafer have squandered his money. What will he do?
I can't wait to see the dynamic between Alejandro and Mari when they first meet. I too wonder if it is the call of the blood or you seem familiar to me? And was Mari wearing that same dress she wore in the pueblo? The white one? It sure looked similar.

Thanks for your happy and hilarious recap of this episode that was such a relief. Who would have guessed that Mexico City could be so much cheerier that that beautiful seemingly idyllic countryside?
Already great chemistry developing between Maricruz and Tobias.
I loved the scenes with the demon children. Too bad Maricruz isn't aware of some of our most useful modern technology. She could have taught those little angels the game of Duck Tape.

Mads- It's a different white dress than the two she had in Tamaulipas. There are sublte differences with each of the white dresses-- details in the sleeves, skirt hem, and collar. I'm just surprised that the wardrobe people were able to find such similar white dresses. I saw a young woman wearing a similar one the other day with lacey bell sleeves and a bit of a flouced hem. Just as short too.
Vivi:
Thanks about the dress. Don't tell me this is going to be the new "summer fashion". That dress is almost like a sixties fashion I have seen pictures of. Maybe they had these specially made for AB to wear for this TN.

@Vivi - most, if not all, of the TN wardrobe is made in-house at Televisa. That's why the white dresses are so similar.
Latina- It would be cool to get a behind the scenes of the wardrobe department and the seamstresses/tailors at Televisa.
I could see them making the white dresses MC wears, as they are her signature pieces. But I think they must also buy a lot of the more trendy/modern pieces. The wardrobe people on AV have done a phenomenal job putting together the wardrobe for the two leading ladies- Vicky and Nikki. They both always look spectacular, fashionable, and age appropriate. It will be interesting to see what they do with Mari once she changes her "luke."

You're right Vivi, that dress last night was different. The one back at the jail had multi-colored buttons. And why I noticed that, have no clue.
And yes, that dress was very much the fashion late 60's, mini skirt and all. I have a pic of my sister with that dress complete with the open sleeves from the year she graduated high school in '69. Here's was white as well with cotton crochet lace at the sleeves, but had a small floral patterned bodice. My mom tried to make me wear it as a hand-me down, but I didn't like the dress thinking it too girly. Probably why I'm so sick of looking at the dress now. What comes around....

Muchas gracias Jardinera!! I love the references to TOPIM/TOEAIM...it seems that every tn has a TO___IM brand. They also love the close calls which we experienced a lot of yesterday. I wonder how long b4 either of them bump into each other in that pension.
I am glad that Solita and MC now have shoes...i could not stop staring at there bare feet when they stepped off the bus (neither could the cameras).
What does Awfelia see in Ewwwsebio. He reeks creepiness, sleazy and just plain dirty bully! I just don't get it...
I am so glad Maria found the papers...now how will it get to MC or will the two make the connection on their own.

Vario: I swear that's how I feel I must look every time I wear mine! Of course, mine has knobs and antennae for better reception..... As for Moctavio, I sort of like Susanlynn's suggestion for paper doo-doo duds.

CeCe: I can't claim that TO__IM. I don't remember if that was Paula Pulverone's or Novelamaven/Jean's who coined it, but it definitely underscores the coinkydink with very little effort.
=======
Madeleine: I think the avances led us to believe the big MC reveal may come tonight.

Making the costumes for the period novelas must have been quite a task. I remember seeing a special on the making making of AMor REal that showed the wardrobe department. By the way, are ADela Noriego and IRAn Castille no longer acting in tns ? I miss them both.

Thank you Jardinera. I second the
JudyB comment--thanks for telling it like it is with down home humor.
you really got me when you wrote---
Puh-leeze, the thought of smelling
yesterdays booze and garlic on the guys breath, mixed in with the tripe he ate for breakfast is just way too much to handle. So true, well he is EWW-sebio. What a guy. I say Awful-felia deserves him.
Madelaine---I thought it was the same white dress too---but Vivi said that there were subtle differences. They had me fooled.
Carlos---Duck tape? LOL Yes, Maricruz needed some duck tape on those hellions.
I was thinking the same thing as some of you guys. A very large city
and Maricruz ends up at the same boarding house as Octavio, and only one employment agency? Well it's a novela.
I could be wrong but my guess is that papa won't learn the truth about daughter for a while.
Take the monkey outside when he needs to go? I don't think that you can potty train a monkey. He must have made several messes during filming.
I couldn't imagine him running around on a long bus ride, jumping on everybody. He is cute though.
I lived the country but still, I can't wait for tonight. Corazon Indomable #1 fan.

Carlos: I definitely anticipate sparks flying between Tobias and MC if and when she's been hired. As for the Idyllic countryside, I was wondering the same thing. IMHO, for an intelligent, stimulus-starved country girl, there's probably a lot to be said for the input overload of automated society and the hustle and bustle of city-dwellers milling in and out of their skycraping ant-hills. Gees. I guess you could say she's just entered Sim City DF in real time......
Gringo: My guess is that Papa won't learn the truth for quite a while, either, but he's going to feel odd because he'll keep seeing/feeling something familiar about her, not realizing it's her likeness to his long lost love, Lupita.

And, speaking of Lupita, Alejandro certainly doesn't come across as the selfish, drunken, jealously possessive womanizer I thought his wife had complained to Ramiro about. Is there something I missed about that relationship?

Another witty and wonderful recap, Jardinera! Lots of great comments, too. Hot-girl-in-a-hut-rut is just one gem, but true for our chulito.
Good for Santa laying it down to Ewwsebio! And to you for telling us "booze, garlic, and tripe" are what big ugly bully-boys are made of.
Funny that Awwfe can be so mean to MC but just melt at the least threat from Ewwe. They truly deserve each other's nastiness.
Of course MC and Tav almost cross paths at the only pension. So good to see more people being kind to MC and Solita (still in terror from flashbacks!).
The babysitting gig, with its fast speed projection, seemed a replacement for an India Maria comic moment. Loved Carlos' idea for the Duck Tape game.
Tobias' day off=MC's lucky day. She already learned to cheer up one grumpy guy in a wheelchair, so I'm sure she can work her perky, outspoken magic on The Voice. He'll enjoy teaching our wild flower the skills of civilization.

Wasn't there a flashback to Maricruz' birth and didn't Ana Brenda also play Maricruz' mother? Unless I imagined that Alejandro should recognize her immediately.
UA,I was catching up on the comments and was all set to point out what you just said. I remember Alejandro holding a black and white photo of Maricuz's mama and it was clearly identical to Maricruz... or did I dream that?

Jardinera: If I remember correctly The Voice kept repeating that Lupita was a very jealous women and thought he was cheating on her...So I just assumed that Lupita thought the Voice was a player. Perhaps she had her own version of Luciafer feeding her nasty lies about her hubby.
Urban and Carlos- I missed that episode with the flashbacks to Lupita, but it seems that if she is identical to Mari, it would be pretty darned easy for Alejandro to figure out Mari is his daughter-- given her looks, age, and the fact that she's from the north, like Lupita was. Plus, as we have seen with his reaction to Arecely, he's on the lookout for ANY girl who might be his daughter. It would be odd if he just shrugged his shoulders about Mari's likeness to Lupita and just moved on without investigating. But this tn doesn't always follow logic, so...
Vivi, or maybe he'll look up at Maricruz and be so shocked by her appearance that he has the big one and...
OK, not enough to die... but maybe put him in a coma for a few episodes.
Wouldn't you think that Tobias has some idea of what Marcruz's mom looked like?

Have we had only one hospital scene,
Oct in DF with his leg? So we are due for another one, we must keep on schedule.

Loved, loved how Maricruz handled the demon brats. When the mother returned and asked where they were, she said they were locked in a room. The aghast mother: You (dared) locked them in a room???
Maricruz: Course not, they locked themselves in! We were playing coscorrones (noogies) and they couldn't take it, I really gave it to them. Not the little one, of course.
LOL - beautiful. She made them scared of her but only by playing with them!
Ofelia had the nerve to call MC basura and yet she finds out her gruesome gorilla more than likely raped a defenseless girl and she begs him not to leave her? Who is the basura really? Yeah, both of them (Eww and Awful) for sure.

Does anyone else think that the theme music used in Alejandro's scenes (especially on Monday during his Internet chat with the detective) sounds a lot like the Game of Thrones theme?
