Caray, Caray!

I won't comment on the whole show until the recap is up but will say that Maria's fall was one of the worst, most contrived, ridiculous things I've ever seen. The only one more ridiculous was when a character fell off the steeple of a church and she only ended up with a broken back. SMH
 

As I said yesterday, she should only have fallen on her butt. This fall wasn't realistic.

Unless I'm equally insane I'd say that Lourdes may earn redemption. She seemed sincere in her approach to Amalia last night.

She may also figure out that Elvira was responsible for this and that she came to the hospital to gloat.

Right call on what should have ben a slip not a midair summersault onto a table and then the floor. Also I guess the only reason she slipped and Concho, Ana and Fernando didn't is that she kept walking forward and they stood still.

Agee about Lourdes. She stepped up, went to a woman she knows doesn't like her and who was initially ungracious. She was also supportive when Amelia needed a woman's. I think she will be horrified if and when she finds out that her dear daughter was responsible. Mirna who now goes onto my I hope something bad happens to you list warned Miss Botox, to be discrete and not gloat. Elrius naturally ignored her. Waiting for large asnvil to fall on her bleached head.
 

I've never seen defibrillator paddles used on top of a cotton dressing gown. Don't they work better with direct skin contact?
 

Good catch, yep the paddles were wrong. What was worse was the doctor not even noticing that Maria was hemorrhaging until the nurse pointed it out. The Doctor really should have let JAntos in to at least see Maria instead of trying to keep him out. If nothing else it would have calmed him down.

Felt sorry for poor Roddy all alone with no food and no money to buy some and he can't even go to the Mendozas to get some.
 

Thanks for the recap.

Really the only thing worth noting about this episode is the sudden change in Lourdes' behavior. I didn't think she would act so kindly to Amalia. Hopefully she keeps it up throughout the rest of the TN. As for Elvira...well, obviously she will never change.

I tried to ignore JA's scenes of desperation. They were a bit much. The doctor didn't help him much. At least Fernando can sort of control him.


I actually didn't expect the baby to die, but the same thing happened to LQNPA. Maria and JA could still have another.

The stupid doctor might have been able to save the baby if she wasn't so busy staring at Maria's face, telling her to "aguante" and not looking to see if there was any bleeding. When Maria said she was in severe pain the Dr. Dum-dum just said, "okay, let's wait for the ultrasound." It was the nurse who noticed the bleeding and even then the idiot doc didn't do anything, just yelled for the nurse to come back!
 

The other noteworthy thing is Mirna's viciousness. You'd think she would be shocked at the outcome of this nasty act.

Would it be too much to hope that either she or Elvirus will be seen cleaning up the evidence?

Good show, Justo, in standing up to those incompetent Keystone Kops.

I also think that Jorge Alfredo isn't managing his desperation well because this is new for him. He has hitherto not been in love and therefore wouldn't have felt this before.

I think Lourdes realizes that Amalia never had any interest in Concho and was therefore no real threat.

Oscar needs a very serious reality check. Someone needs to make him see that Maria was never his.

Ditto on the dumb medical scene.
 

JAntos was out of control as he has been through much of the TN. It strikes me that when he was in LA he was a successful businessman, in charge of his life and things around him. Since the great betrayals began he has had absolutely no control over any aspect of his life. He can't even control himself at this point. If he were a teenage girl he'd probably be dipping into anorexia. I really hope he is a bit more tactful when he breaks the news to Maria then the previews show.

Eli you were dead on about Coloso, every time I think I might cut him so some slack he does something stupid. He was pretty good with JAntos last night up until the point where he once again referred to Maria as his chiquita. He just can't let go and now I want an anvil to fall on him as well since people talking to him doesn't penetrate.

Gloria time to get back to the DF and rescue your son from his unthinking clod of a father.

What exactly is Mirna's gripe against Maria? You'd think she'd do everything to keep her happy and the peso's rolling in. An alliance with Trampira makes no sense at all. Then again a little blackmail wouldn't be remiss. I used to think Mirna was just annoying but now she goes on my hit list with her new BFF.

Interesting how even when both Amelia and JAntos were having identical feelings about Maria she wouldn't unbend until near the end and that was pretty much at Fernando's urging and forcing them to hold hands. I think had she not treated him so consistently badly JAntos would have been more sensitive to her feelings and they could have gotten past the past with their shared grief. Will be interesting to see what happens next.
 

Amalia won't change. She'll probably commiserate with Coloso instead of with JA. She really p'd me off when the first thing she told Justo was, "I'm so stressed, probably because your son caused a scene at the bar!" Really, woman? It's STILL all about you, right?

I so agree she just can't let go. I gave her a mini pass because she does love her daughter and this is a nightmare for her but she is really selfish. In some ways i think she is jealous of the fact that Maria loves JAntos so much and feels it takes away from her. The woman needs help.

I was really worried for Irasema whn Fabnot showed up in her cell. I couldn't help thinking he would just send some guy in to abuse her but I guess even he hasn't sunk that low.

 

Decie Girl, Mirna is afraid that Maria will find out that she and her family rightfully own half the bar. That would mean that Concho owes them profits going back at least ten years. Since Amalia rarely appears there for any reason and the two younger sisters are minors, Maria is the only one of them in a position to unmask that theft.

Since Maria is also a law student this makes it a dangerous situation for Concho and for Mirna, who could go to prison as an accomplice.

Of course there is also Jorge Alfredo, who (when he's calm) is smarter than any of them. I'm not sure she realizes that.

As much of an asshole as he is lately, Oscar wouldn't be pleased at this news either.

Agree about Amalia. She is being stupidly selfish about Maria.
