Caray, Caray!

Pablo:

Thanks so much for this most superb recap. I always look forward to your recaps.

I had to laugh when Patymelt was filling out her resume. It all dealt with Rogue lol. I bet Alma ends up employing her in some way or another. When has Alma never done that?

Rogue and Moronica have got to go! Moronica lies to her little girl, Rogue is now using her for revenge too. This TN should have been called "The Perils of Chucho and Valentina". I want Val to be stable and happy. I wonder if Domatilla will really do all this stuff that Moronica wants her to do? I can't see it, I think she'll rebel.

At least Mari is fighting for Rico Suave. I had to laugh when he puckered his lips and she wasn't there, lol. Xochi got a kick out of it too.

I can't wait for Xochi and Ferny to move in, how cute are they? They are my favorite couple. Julio and Aida too.

ElMel is an idiot. He is so childish, I agree with Pablo, he is way worse than the three sillies, I wonder if Chucho can help him mature? I really wonder. I think ElMel is a lost cause.

I hope in joining forces Elias and Chucho can find some way to put the kibosh on the Rogue/Moronica revenge plan and also to stop Cantu from evicting poor Chatita.
 

Thanks.

That Rogelio is the new owner of the building where Chatis lives got me by surprise: I wonder how many other things Roger has going on in the background. He is worse then a trojan virus!
Vero and him are made for each other. I would like for them to kill each other by accident, while trying to kill someone else, wouldn't be nice?
 

I got brave and turned in after the first half hour. Seeing that obviously I missed the I'm sure achingly sad scenes with Val I kept watching. Thanks so much Pablo for the wonderful detail! Helped make some sense of the plot....operative word SOME. The writers aren't always A-one in that category.

I don't even get the character of Melvis except to be a Moron and cause trouble. Apparently he has the intellect of a 6 year old...well that's not fair. Most 6 years old are more mature. Son or no son, someone needs to deck this guy. If he's suppose to be "funny", it's not working.

Wonder how long before the Vitch makes that poor maid start wearing the gloves and nurse-like uniform? She really is one sick woman. I wish for her the grubbiest cell on earth and may she freak every day at the germs or spend her days scrubbing trying to make it clean.

AS for the side items last night--I will take any Ferny/Xochi moments I can get, the Chatita stuff last night was sort of Meh to me, Pati's job search was funny and sad (still say she winds up at Avon) and got a little kick out of Ricardo's smile after Mari told him she loved him.

But I'm with you--another contest? Blech.

"Laughter is the best medicine and love is the best diet". What a great way to start your recap Pablo. And kudos to you, because no matter how much you hate this show, you write your recaps with love and laughter and always brighten our day. Thanks for starting mine off right.

And a pox on Veronica!
 

Thanks, Pablo. Especially for the MEMORIES! Because I don't have many memories of last night except for the scene of Moronica the 100-Pound Malignant Tumor scoffing at the notion of Eli wanting to see his daughter every day.

That says a lot about her. Valentina was right there. It's like saying to your own child, "how ridiculous that someone would want to see you every day even though he doesn't have to."

So (now that I've had a better look) it seems that really was Marta. I guess Chucho didn't recognize her, because he didn't react. I think he would have reacted!
 

Oh, I was lying when I said I didn't remember ANYTHING else. I do remember Ricardo's outstretched lips and Cardenas looking like The Unknown Comic. And Domitilia mimicking Vero behind her back. THAT relationship ought to be interesting.

Speaking of dysfunctional shoes, I found this: the original Cruel Shoes.
 

Pablo, you had me laughing at k I s s I n g and what if they had been sitting in a tree. Thanks for your usual "insightful" recap!

The best part last night was Sanson letting it all out on the floor and laughing about his rebellion in front of Veronica.

Unfortunately, there were more worse parts. Melquiades and his incessant stupidity/practical joke and Rogelio who turned into the scum of the earth when he targeted Jesus, Valentina and Chatita. Too ugly of an episode for a comedy.

Pablo, I like your multiple character "riddance" idea: maybe Veronica and Rogelio and Melquiades can ALL kill each other off or die in a bizarro plot gone bad (for them anyway).

Jarifa
 

Pablo, you wrote;

Jesús is taking his pain medication and using crutches. He will get a loan from Augusto to pay for Chatita's house. Vicky informs him that the check is almost ready but starts crying uncontrollably.
Looks like she has some problem with Melquiades, her boyfriend, but Jesús thinks about Valentina, Alma and Chatita, who all have a question of their own. Valentina wants to see him every day, Alma tells him Valentina is now living with Rogelio, Aída has Romero on the line for some Union problems with overtime spreadsheets and Chatita suffers because she is going to lose her apartment. Why does everybody run to him when in trouble?

The Bible says "What a friend we have in Jesus, all or sins and grief to bare".

Maybe he needs to change his name?
 

Oh yeah, I am glad I found Jesús!

Jarifa:

It could go somewhat like this:

''After the fire, Verónica took the same red plastic bucket they have been using in the last 117 episodes and filled it up with brazilian starving piranhas, the worst kind. She sneaked into Jesús office at Orión and placed the bucket on top of the door, but accidentally, the one who opened the door was Pirated Elvis, whose real intentions were to replace Jesús' green tea bags with ones filled with oleander leaves.
Rogelio, got some string and designed a device to kill Jesús as he opened the door, but Verónica came running without caution and she was the one who got the fork in her eye. Sadly, that day Domitila had not sterilized the utensils right, since she boiled them only for 19 minutes and a half.

That same fateful day, Rogelio took Valentina to the zoo to see if he could throw her to the gorilla's cage, but slipped on a banana peel and fell into the bipolar bears cage, who ate him and discarded the curly rug he had for hair. Since they were bipolar, they got real sorry after that and started laughing. They are the same from the Coca-Cola commercials.
 

Or, He can solve all the problems, and on the last episode, walk out into the parking lot of Orion and "Assend to the Heavens.
 

Pablo, I love it complete with an under sterilized fork in the eye! Thanks for the imaginative fantasy! If only it could be that way . . . we could put them and us ALL out of their/our misery ASAP.

Jarifa
 

Oh... "And it is not because of the smell, I am sure Sansón's nose is used to worse things..." Hahahahaha!!
 

OMG Pablo, I love your death to the villains scenario.

Recap by Pablo, don't forget to set down your coffee cup before reading, otherwise you will snort hot coffee right onto your laptop.

I haven't even seen this episode yet but with the vivid descriptions provided by the unique and slightly warped mind of Pablo, I do feel as if I have viewed the best scenes.

Yep, that crack about Sansón's nose being used to worse things gave me the biggest laugh.

Julie, great link. I had such fun the other day when you mentioned Cruel Shoes. I looked it up on youtube and went down the rabbit hole with that and some other of Steve Martin's audios/videos. What a huge comic talent he is.
 

I wouldn't want Vero to die even if that was a possibility in a comedy TN (is it?). Vale loves her mom and I wouldn't want to add the demise of her mother to what she's already been through. I think Vero's anvil is that she is going to end up getting arrested. Even if she doesn't know what Rogelio is doing, she's going to get caught up in that net when he's arrested at the end (which I'm guessing he will be). She might not do serious jail time, but it should be enough for Jesus and Elias to get full custody of Vale--if they haven't already gotten it by then.

I don't understand. If Vero's such a germaphobe, why is she having sex?

Nanette
 

Thanks so much Pablo. I missed the show last night.

So the beggar is for sure Mad Marta? Great! One more thing to give Jesus an ulcer.

Nanette- Being a germaphobe is about making everyone else's life difficult and joyless. Having sex is about fulfilling HER needs. I am sure she is more of a taker than a giver in the bedroom.
 

Vivi: She is the ultimate taker. I'm looking forward to her anvil more than anyone else's.
 

Pablo, yet another masterpiece. Your delivery is tremendous.
Nanette- I'm with you I don't want to see Vero dead but would rather that she fell in dog mess with no paper towels available.
Jesus is taking on everyone's burdens. I wonder what his limit is.
 

This is one of those TN where nobody ever dies (except Bárbara and Susana's hubby, both secondary characters).
Not because they don't deserve it, but because the cast wouldn't be able to cry and made us feel all that pain.
Chatis cries because she is being left homeless, Alma cries because Uri ruined her feather boa, Marisela cries because she's been exposed, Valentina cries because she wants to be with her 2 dads, Jéssica cries and makes a mouth uglier than Alma's, Xóchitl cries because she lost her mother, but no matter how many people cry, they don't make us feel anything!!

Isn't that sad? I am crying already!
 

Oh pobrecita Valentina. I just watched the episode and it nearly made me cry. Wow, that child is a terrific actor. Now I, too, am looking forward to Vero's anvil. How could anyone be so cold-hearted. She is used to Valentina always loving her unconditionally, but I'm sure that won't last forever.

Sansón was so funny in this episode. Thank goodness for him or I wouldn't be able to bear having Valentina in that house.

It looks like Sansón is prepared to wage war against Moronica. Also Julio is readying some sort of revenge against Evil Elvis. Should be fun.
 

Pablo, Valentina almost made me cry from sadness. And you almost made me cry because I was laughing so hard!
 

Pablo, you do make us cry with laughter. Thanks for yet another ribald review. We all look forward to your take on this silly but lovable show. It doesn't make sense but it does offer great joke material.
 

Pablo,
This too!
"Patricia, who looks like Inspector Gadget, gives Alma the fruits of her condition as a klepto to see if she can return it. "

I am hoping Melvis will try to help Roger win the contest and get caught doing it so that even Augusto will let him go. Just when we get rid of Ury, Melvis came to take his place as least favorite character. If that were to happen I would feel just like Sanson laughing at Vero. jejejejejeje
