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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
Daisy
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.
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.
=========
Daisy: There were so many coinkydinks last night I almost couldn't count them all. My beanie is going to need a major tune up before this tn is over.
You'll have to give us the link to the site, amiga!
=========
Vivi - I got a big chunk of satisfaction at the way Santa handled both Ewwwie and his Awfel squeeze.
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.
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.
Carlos
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.
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."
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....
Daisy
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.
FYI DF has the worlds 3rd largest population 20 mil, behind #1 Tokyo & #2 Seoul. NY is #4
What do you think of John Oliver's foil hat?

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.

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.

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?
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.
Carlos
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?
Carlos
Oct in DF with his leg? So we are due for another one, we must keep on schedule.
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.
