CI: The Stork Cometh
Labels: Indomable
Sorry to say this, but MC is not that great of a mother! New mothers want to bond with their babies, not go to work or whatever she calls what she's doing at the Casino a few days after giving birth. Who wants to bet we'll only get to see her baby when it fits the plot (the almost run ins with daddy Octa) and MC will go about her days (or nights) as usual, fighting with Carola to save her precious Casino (couldn't it be a charity of some sort?)
Has she even seen her dad or her sister yet? Ah, well, at least now she won't have to worry about someone noticing her belly (and btw, sometimes women do lose all the baby weight in a week or so, this actually happened to a friend of mine - I saw her the day she gave birth, she was still pretty round and a week later she was exactly like before she got pregnant - lucky girl!)
Tav is a total shmuck, not even caring about his passanger's well being - but I think this is writtenlike this because the audience is supposed to be on the edge of their seats while he is all casual about it, but it's not working for me.
I am a little surprised that Ed hasn't told him the truth, yet; if it were my best friend, I would make no promises to no pregnant lady and I would surely share this piece of info... more plot driven mess, if you ask me.
As for baby names:
I like Minicruz best :))
but I don't think that's an option, so maybe Lupita (good choice, Jardi), Octavia, Alejandra...
And thinking of all these girl names, I think I know how they chose Solita's... since she is always alone (sola) in her own world, the name fits her very well.
I'm with Adriana on MC and her bonding with the baby. Figured she wouldn't really know what to do, but the fact she's back at work and strutting her sexy stuff maybe days after birth...oh these writers. There's being a working mother, which could be cool if they showed it correctly, but I think we will see someone more obsessed with her revenge and the baby will be a prop during those infuriating "talk to the camera and rant" moments. And I really wish they would tone down the dialog so we don't have to see MC argue with someone in every scene. Someone needs to tell her about the "kill them with kindness" way of doing things.
So she has a girl and Lucia had a boy--no baby swap plot available there thank goodness. That leaves poor Solita. SO help me she has a boy and I'll scream cause then we know where that might lead.
I honestly think the writers pushed the carefree bachelor side of Tav harder than usual last night on purpose as well. In a heartbeat, he's gone from guilt ridden to Who Cares--let's party. c'mon.
I almost had to side with Ed last night - why does kissing a girl immediately translate to "ok, I'm committing to marriage". There's something called dating in the real world. Not everyone falls in love at first sight with someone and marries them. They will probably still wind up together though.
New characters - heck we've got too many right now that we don't get a straight story on.

Ed seems to be playing mind games with both Tav and MC 3.0. He keeps hinting around to Tav (in a way that makes me think Ed might be more sure MC 3.0 is really MC 1.0); and he wrote on the card that the flowers were from both pilots, thereby freaking MC out.
I couldn't believe how many new characters they threw at us last night, when they haven't even fully developed the characters they have on hand: the governor’s daughter and son; the nanny; cousin Gerry; the Muslim women Mohamed engaged to help in his "plan"; and the cutest of all, MiniCruz. So adorable.
How can MC tear herself away to go spend her precious time fighting with the Conseco sisters?
I wonder if Aracely knows Ed's last name yet? :) And yet, she still seems all shocked, hurt and disappointed when he said to Teo that they are just friends (with benefits), and NOT novios. I agree that there shouldn't be any big deal about them just casually dating. But silly Aracely does expect more (noviazgo and marriage), so it's best she not date him at all if she can't accept that.
Things back at the ranch have gotten quite interesting, now that Ewsebio is a loose cannon. What will Luciafer do? Maybe she'll have to do her dirty work herself this time and murder him? One can hope.
Agree. Now after MC has vowed to avenge for the 398 time new characters pop up to get in the way.
If only our ranch buddies were pilots, MC could go fight her battles anywhere without any plot problems.
R we done with the Casino?
Hopefully, Don Ale won't take a plane flow by Oblivio cause he might not make it.
Well, I hope viewers were at least pleasantly surprised that Minicruz was a girl not the usual boy...and also that they used a tiny baby that actually looks like a premature newborn. Oh, did anyone notice that Univision grayed-out the baby's bottom when she was first handed to MariAle in the delivery room? Televisa didn't do it, so the big joke on Twitter after this episode aired in Mexico was that the baby could already claim a nude scene on her acting resume. Poor baby.
I also don't see how a baby switch can happen between Luciafer's baby and Solita's if it's a boy, because her baby would be months younger. Who would be fooled by that? Certainly not Miguel who stares into his baby's face for hours at a time, contemplating the evil woman he mated with.
Adreana:
"if it were my best friend, I would make no promises to no pregnant lady and I would surely share this piece of info".
That could be, but Eddy IMHO has more common sense, and an innate sense of survival as well as one of gallantry that prevents him from doing anything more than hinting around and first to get a feel for Tav's sensibilities where this touchy topic is concerned. He made a promise because he finally felt pity. Where as before it might have been for selfish reasons he'd keep Tav away from MC 1.0, now he's being noble and treading on eggshells here for MC 3.0 since he realizes there's a good possibility she may be MC 1.0 miraculously transformed--or a possible twin, especially if he did the birthday math. He doesn't know if it's really his place to blab as the galán's code is "discretion is the better part of valor".
============
DaisynJay:
ITA, I thought she'd want to spend a good six weeks bonding with Minicruz but she's on a holy mission from the telenovela gods to save her inheritance for herself and her new baby. She seemed to be well on her way in the hospital to bonding, but hey, we should look on the bright side: at least she didn't have to go back to working in a field 2 hours later like the serfs and slaves of old. As for "There's something called dating in the real world. Not everyone falls in love at first sight with someone and marries them." Eddy, ITA and perhaps this is something cultural that is necessarily 'lost in translation' for us north of the border.
==============
Vivi: "I wonder if Aracely knows Ed's last name yet?" LOL! Good question and I'm betting nope. I'm starting to wonder if Aracely is somewhat mentally handicapped the same way Teo is physically.
Well, finally it's a girl! And it is actually looks like a newborn and a small one at that, like it is really born prematurely.
Tav is upset about putting his name on a well wishing card?? QUE??!
It's just a common courtesy, hombre!
Let's see how long Eddy boy is able to keep his mouth shut.
I wasn't surprised with the instuctions for the caring of the baby mostly everybody learns it the first time around.
But you nailed it Jardinera with the clothes you want to wear for the do. And let's hope she doesn't have a reflux, in that case I strongly suggest the oldest rag she has and all the luck to keep the baby completely straight, not the tiniest movement, for a half an hour after every feeding.
What an interesing tidbit Latina, why do they have to censure a babys private parts?
I'ts not like it's porn or something.. who thinks a babys bare bottom offensive?? - unless they are using a boy child to play the baby girl.. :-)
Few thoughts:
1. JA needs to get himself a girl. Much too hot to be so lonely. Araceli would be perfect.
2. Disappointed that the writers have let Tav forget the guilt he should be unable to bear.
3. MA is so focused on vengeance that she is blind to the gifts she has.
4. I was so distracted by the 2 new characters of the governor's kids that I thought my dvr had jumped to another station!
5. I never, ever, ever want to see Ewwsebio and Awfelia make out. I almost had to spit out my dinner. I actually felt bad for the actress having to kiss him. Ugh!
It's one of my favorite episodes, because my little baby was born. I hope its not a spoiler to say, that I'm a great fan of this girl. She is an excellent little actress. That scene in hospital room with AB and baby in her arms was marvelous. They have great chemistry together.
Alegria
Maricruz is certainly embracing motherhood like the rich entitled princess she has become. Maybe she should hook up with Karim after all.
I rather liked the way that Eddy handled things although he was a bit coy about it with Octavio. I do think that he believes that Maria Alejandra is Maricruz.
Poor Lucia, she chose her accomplice badly. Eusebio is now a loose end who is a loose cannon with loose lips. Inspector Suarez should sit him down, buy him a bottle, and listen.
Carlos
A belated thanks to all the recappers last week and earlier this week...haven't been able to watch or even spend much time catching up on the action.
But rest assured I appreciate all the wonderful work you do. Writing these recaps takes a lot of time and effort, especially when they're as skilled and sharp as the ones you turn out.
Oct is even more of a brain challenged jerk that usual. Ed is showing his humane side. Interesting though that pilots send flowers.
A kiss means you are committed to marriage ¡Qué! No time to get to know you, not even your last name or whether you are married!?
Baby bottoms are obscene!? I guess Televisa really thinks the US is perverted.
Alejandro & Solita don't even know about the baby, this is the craziest story line. Mrs Mejia needs to stop smoking the funny stuff.
Maricruz needs him like she needs a hole in the head. She needs a DNA test to show Don Alejandro she is his daughter.
Carlos
Carlos
At this point Tav is winning the TN galan Darwin award and his insensitivity is a bit over the top (what happened to all that guilt).
Though Teo trying to pressure Eddy into marriage was a bit much, we all know Ed is a wham-bam type of guy and Arecely needs someone like JA.
Jardinera, thanks for the recap!
Jarifa
Yes they do!!! And since you already mentioned their great chemistry, I would like to add that I'm a bit shocked that MC/MA's mothering skills are already being questioned when we've barely watched the episode where the baby was born. Be patient, everyone. We need to remember that this is a LONG novela, not a 2-hour movie.
Thanks so much for this marvelous recap. Everything I wanted to say has been said. I too like the Mini-Cruz nickname for MA's bebe, lol.
Irisz79/LatinaMD/Variopinta: I didn’t catch the blurred bottom myself. Could have been that the CC covered my view. Don’t know that a naked baby would count as porn myself, either, but better to play it safe than sorry.
Alegria: nope, not a spoiler that I can determine. : > ))
“Eusebio is now a loose end who is a loose cannon with loose lips.” I couldn’t have expressed it any better. I would only add that ITA he now is a clear and present danger to the bitch who’s got a screw or two loose.
Jarifa: ITA and I always enjoy a fast paced telenovela like Pasion and Querida Enemiga was. We move so quickly to the next storyline that we hardly have time to gritch about the beanie-activating scenes.
UrbanA: Oblivio was in top form last night, ITA. That boy's going to have one hell of a lot of 'splainin' to do. I wouldn't mind seeing MC end up with with a comparable hunk, somebody other than Eduardo, certainly.
Karen: interestingly, I get the feeling we're watching cut-outs or paper dolls interact myself!
Anita: How are the B.C. mountains?
You all have covered the action in your comments well.
I AM *shocked* that:
1. The storm during the flight faded into nothing as soon as there was a medical emergency on board.
2. MA never called Don Ale (or at least Tobias) that she "has given light," or even asked how Solita and the dear Don are doing.
3. Two weeks? Really? For a preemie, they gave her "de alta" in only a couple of days (yes, she looked pretty healthy and her eyes were open wide and looking away from MA-MA).
4. MC/MA seemed ready to go back to "work" after just days. I think Don Ale would have been beside himself not knowing where she was for two weeks. OTOH, there must be a phone in her apt (the same one as before), so why don't we know if he tried to call.
5. The Con-sister chose a sleazy looking bait for MA. After Octavio, he'd have to be better-looking than that.
6. The baby is as yet unnamed.
7. Euwwsebio would actually contemplate going to jail for anyone for altruistic reasons (no alcohol in jail).
8. In one fell swoop, Oct & Ed ruined my bromance theory--they weren't dressed alike. One in bermudas and checkered shirt and the other in white shirt and long pants.
9. Carlos actually has Tennessee dirt to grow his mint in. (I'm growing mine in good old Maryland clay and they make delicious Mojitos.)
I asked my dad (a pilot) about what they'd really do in the birth-on-a-plane situation. He said first he'd let the co-pilot take control so he could throw up. Then they would definitely not leave the cockpit, which is probably part security reasons and part ewwwwww gross reasons. He also said that they have minimal first aid, just enough so they don't hurt themselves on a defibrilator, but the flight attendants are trained since they're the ones dealing with the passengers. (I don't think pilots actually like the passengers). But at least we know that real pilots wouldn't be any more helpful that Eddie was!
Did she not name the baby yet, or just not tell us?
Kelly
You had some great lines like---Tav
his nose in the paper, probably the
funnies since that's about as intellectual as he seems to get.
And---"Cuz" wasn't much of a looker
and sure didn't offer much in the way of charm or animal magnetism to this part of viewville, but then consider the family gene pool. I mean, we are talking Conseco material here. Ouch!
Also your line about no mothering in designer duds was right on. LOL
Not even a single sit-up needed to get that waistline back? answer--Super Mari.
By the way, I saw a Maricruz Magowan on the news this morning. I paid attention because I like the name Maricruz and have never seen it or heard of it before this novela.
The babies name? I vote for Octavia
Variopinta---Mrs. Mejia needs to stop smoking the funny stuff. LOL
Karen---The TN Galan Darwin Awards
Karen---Yes, Ed is a wham bam thank you mam kind of a guy. That's for sure. When is he going to get serious and settle down?
EWWWWWWW--Awful-felia and EWW-sebio
lips to lips, I can't take much of that. Is Mrs. Mejia trying to torture us?
Emeraldrose---The robot drives me crazy also--It's often impossible to read.

Carlos, I love mint , and I can be very solemn. Please mail me a mint julep ...COD..ASAP. It is hot here, and I could use a nice, icy beverage...I also like mojitos. my daughter's Cuban friend Rene makes delicious ones.
Carlos - are Mojitos a drink you make?
Back to the recap, wonderful as always, so fun to read and then enjoy the posts. A real treat every day
To me it seemed like tav and ed kind of switched a little bit of their personalities last night. Who ever thought that ed would be the more sensitive of the two???
The thing that astonished me the most was not telling don ale, tobias, or solita about giving birth! Unless they did it off screen...
I am really enjoying this tn, but still wish the writers had smoother storylines and less plotholes. But AB does bring a lot to this novela, and DA is just such a hottie.
jlk
unfortunately mint juleps don't sip well, but II found this demonstration of the making of a mint julep on youtube. The way this guy does it is very close to the way I make mine, even crushing the ice in a canvas bag. I'm a bit gentler with my mint. Even if one doesn't drink, watching and listening to this guy is almost as relaxing as actually drinking a mint julep.
emeraldrose, I've never had a mojito but I've got the stuff to make it with and will do so this weekend... I guess Kentucky mint will work OK.
Carlos
I vote for Lupita Alejandra when the Minicruz is baptized.

Susanlynn: This link is the official uvideos site which makes the previous night's episodio available to watch on line the very next day. No CC, but hey, we can't have it all, right?

Emerald rose: Welcome to my night!
NJ Sue: Ingrid Martz IMHO usually plays nice girls and I cannot remember the last time I saw one where she was a meanie throughout. She's a terrific actress IMHO. I am glad we have a new love interest and she's sure to make things very interesting around there for all concerned.
On the other hand, I wanted some real hunk as competition for Tav to make him see green, and don't see a single candidate presented to us yet. Bummer!
At the same time, if he doesn't realize MA is MC, then to bad galanura doesn't work as a brain, too. :)

Kelley: Interesting reality check on pilots in birthing babies on board planes!
actually one can get captions with that link you provided. Just arrow near the bottom of the picture once the episode has begun and a panel pops up which includes a CC option and one can choose either Spanish or English.
Carlos
Kelly
I would like to see MA bring the baby for Serafina to see, with Tav just happening to stroll in, but I doubt that will happen.
I think an Old Fashioned would go very well with this show as well as either a Martini or a Manhattan. I so enjoy watching that guy lovingly describe making various drinks.
