Caray, Caray!

Good evening to all!!!

It was a sad but interesting episode tonight.
I am finishing up my crow pie and on to the next episode. :-)
 

Lol....TJ..........I like my men "shirtless and quiet" in most of my TN's. still laughing over this one!!

Wonderful recap TJ!!!

Chucho should just use his stinking head.

Piense Jesus!!

"If anything happens to Uri, Malvino and his sidekick go after Alma, Val and Chatita.

Which means the two goof balls will screw up and nothing will happen to Alma, Val, and Chatita!

Thanks TJ! I can't believe Jesus doesn't have a plan. All he had to do, while he knew Yuri and his two stooges were busy celebrating in the hotel, was tell Elias what was going on when he saw him. That way Elias could make up excuses to Val about why Jesus was staying away.

The next morning when he went to see Alma, he should have also told her what's going on, and let her know he will need to keep his distance and take the new job, and she will have to pretend to be bummed out, while he finds a way to get out of this mess. Then have either Elias or Alma call Delia and tell her what's going on.

Why break Val and Alma's hearts needlessly? Stupid!

I was pleased to see more of Fern and Xochi's date. And I also like that Pati told ALL of the truth about herself, although she still shouldn't expect Alma's forgiveness. I don't think Alma forgives her, yet. She didn't answer Pati when she asked. But I think Alma now realizes what a pathetic mess Pati is, so she feels sorry for her and wants to help her get her life straight.
 

Tablet Jefa, thanks for the quick and complete recap.
I agree it was a sad episode.

Vivi, I too cannot believe that Jesus is just crumbling without a plan. Gertie, I liked your "Jesus should just use his stinking head." LoL

My favorite part was Xochi jumping around her room and falling on her bed.

TJ, thanks so much. I enjoyed the recap more than the episode. I am rather disgusted with Chucho. Don't eat too much crow, and make sure Chatita has whipped it into a tasty dish. I didn't think Patimelt would come clean, either.

Was anyone else having flashbacks to Renato in El Tal looking at Uri? Ack; my eyes.
 

GREAT recap! Thanks Tablet Jefa. Well, we needed something to get screwed up so we could go another 80 episodes. I guess Jesus caving to Uri is it.

My favorite TJ quote of the night, when you called Uri The Good Humor Man. Bwahaha! Good one. He looks great in a suit, except that it is white. Blech. Julia, is that what you meant about Renato?

ITA with y'all that Jesus should've come up with a plan. Sheesh, Uri's an airhead and his cohort's are even stupider, can't Jesus see that?
 

TJ:

Thanks for this most marvelous recap. I missed the epi this evening. Wow, a lot went on!

I hope this plan of Yuri's fails. I hope somehow that Elias or Alma is able to sic Delia on Yuri and his bumbling cohorts. I can't stand what Yuri is doing to Chucho.

So the little girl's name is Raymunda. How pretty. I am so glad that Chatita looks out for her.

Xochi and Ferny are so funny, and I am so sorry I missed the rest of their date and Mama Barb's glowing approval, lol.

And Patymelt was honest! Who knew? I am glad she told Alma the whole truth. I too don't think that Alma should forgive her, but Alma will probably help her. Patymelt is a hot mess.

I will have to go on line and see if I can find this epi.

Thanks so much TJ!
 

Thank you for the recap. I have to say I find the Chatita/Ray relationship to be one of the most touching I've ever seen on a show like this. They're so sweet together, but not too schmaltzy. I find I'm looking forward to their scenes together more than any scenes involving those inane secretaries at the office!
 

I'm eating that crow right with you TJ. I didn't expect a BFF truth session at all last night. But I'm glad because I had really liked Pati at the start and hopefully we can get her funnier side again. Betcha that job Alma gets her will be at Avon...betcha betcha.

I also am beyond frustrated with Chucho. If this keeping all this threatening a secret isn't a plot ploy I don't know what is. Every other time he goes running to Delia with issues and suspicions. Not this time" How about you should be arranging protection for your loved ones? Just beyond me...

And Alma's reaction - a little over the top. They discussed this offer, and though Chucho had said he would stay as a secretary in his pink shirt at Avon versus a well paying, with benefits, secure position at Orion ( WTH????) just to be able to mack out with her in the office daily, she didn't seem all that upset at the prospect of him working there at that time. He didn't "break up with her" as far as I can tell, just went to work at the competitor...maybe I missed something. But didn't get the ugly tear reaction.

Sorry Chucho, but if you would pay attention at the office, responsibility, and the pay, you kind of our securing a better future for your daughter. Just sayin'. His moping was pretty lame too. These adults need to grow up.

Yeah, Aida is back!!!! An honest to goodness hard-working secretary. How refreshing.

I can get why Xochi is acting so silly. She really never had a chance to be a "teen girl in love" until she tried with Chucho. That was a disaster, and now she has someone who reciprocates how she feels. I am so afraid of what the writers are going to do with FerChi. This is too fun to watch, and they are so over the moon. There has to be a burst bubble coming soon. :(

Thanks, TJ. I know it wasn't the most fun episode, but it was certainly interesting.

Vero should ask herself why Valentina would rather be with her dads than with her mom. Doesn't she remember that dismissive little wave she gave the other night when Valentina wanted help with her homework? Probably not, because she was much more interested in Rogelio. Another character who thinks she's entitled to whatever she wants regardless of whether she deserves it.

Speaking of which, I'll have to help you out with that crow pie, TJ, because I didn't think Paty would tell Alma the WHOLE truth so soon. She must really be at the end of her rope.

Uri asking Chucho about his Spanish was funny. U's accent is so bad. (Mine is probably worse, but I wonder if it's even possible for it to be much worse.)

Like the rest of you, I am frustrated that Chucho isn't taking the obvious steps he should be taking to deal with a threat from a bunch of guys who can't afford to get in any more trouble with the law. I assume that Uri is violating the terms of his parole, but even if he isn't, he and the Warehouse Twins have made Chucho witness to the fact that they're all in business together and now it will be even more difficult for any of them to make a plausible claim of innocence.

I realize that we still have 79 episodes to go, but I hope THIS isn't what keeps the story afloat that whole time. This is the kind of problem that can be solved in 20 minutes with a couple of phone calls.
 

Distancing himself from Alma is going to mean not only quiting Avon, but also breaking up with Alma. When and how is Jesus planning on doing this? And how is he going to explain to Elias and Val not seeing her? Just ridiculous that he didn't tell Elias and Alma what's going on. Not Jesus' finest or smartest moment.
 

Put me in the camp for wondering what is Jesus' plan,
Thank you for all of the compliments.
 

Great recap TJ. Love your Eating Crow theme. Even the despicable Vero seemed to be eating crow last night, realizing how her own selfishness and narcissism was alienating her daughter and Elias and Chucho as well.

Two of our bad girls on the way to Redemption Valley! With stops and starts along the way of course.

I can't watch this right now. I HATE these plots where people are hurt unnecessarily because of secrets and threats..and of course, as Vivi pointed out, it could all be explained but nooooo........

Oh well. Hopefully, since this is a comedy, the misunderstandings and hurt feeling won't go on too long....will they?

So I'll be missing a few episodes...but never these excellent recaps. Thanks.
 

Vero does seem to think more clearly when there's alcohol around (remembering her previous pulque session with Minerva and the rompope with Chatita). Unfortunately I don't think booze will cure her in the long run!
 

Oh Julie! " Unfortunately I don't think booze will cure her in the long run!" I think you're right.

I am willing to cut Chucho slack for one more episode. Just cuz the shock and threat to the ones he is so attached to could muddle his mind. But we know his tocayo will see him through. Being VP at Orion should put some power in his hands, resources at his disposal, new allies. AND what will Pancho Lopez think when he hears about Chucho jumping ship? Ay caray!
 

I only caught the last five minutes, but we’re getting to the part of the novela formula that I hate: breaking up the couple.

JudyB, I so agree with this: “I can't watch this right now. I HATE these plots where people are hurt unnecessarily because of secrets and threats..and of course, as Vivi pointed out, it could all be explained but nooooo........” --I’m probably going to just read the recaps for awhile, too and maybe concentrate on La Temp for the time being.

Maybe Jesus will think of a plan, he’s just in shock right now (Fishknits—wrote this before reading your comment. I see we think a like).

Thanks, TJ, that's a fine recap: covered the territory w/o excess.

O THANK YOU, Julia, for bringing up El Tal. I'm hanging on to your "Only Motel Inn Fresno" but otherwise have just about finished a low level format on all sectors of my feeble mind involved in that one.

I'd thought a novel plot twist would be to have Paty do a little seppuku at Alma's place instead of the drivel about being "arrepentida." Too messy, I guess. Don't you love it when a "friend" decides you need most of their damn problem because all they want is exculpation and they want it cheap?
