PEAM #119- 8/24/13: What Time Is It? Time for Words or What Are Words For, When Noone Listens, What Are Words For?




Hola, PEAM Peeps! This recap will not be in order, I like to randomly mix things up, just kidding. It's for smoother flow, better flow, er, take your pick.


Last Time on PEAM:
Mari talks to Elias and thanks him for the apt, no worries will pay. Rai gives the frog plus case to Val. Elias talks to Rico Suave (Ricardo) to impress upon him there is really nothin' goin' on with Mari. Does he listen???? Nopis. Chucho talks to Alma about how he can't spend the night with her again. Has to go home, do the laundry, clean the place up. Do we know the last time he was even home? I bet there are cobwebs and dust bunnies all over the place! Alma volunteers to go over and take care of that! Jessie tells Cardy she would like to invite her relatives to their wedding and oh, by the way, he has to fork over the moola for the plane tickets, they live in Puerto Rico after all. Whistle blast goes off in Cardy's head, so expensive! Moronica refuses to let Elias see Valentina, cause he was late. Boo Hiss from Elias, he is one pithed off dude! Valentina takes a chance and puts that frog in Moronica and Royer's (Rogue) bed, Tee Hee. Take that Moronica and Royer! She can't wait for her first plan to work. Wonder what else she is going to do? Chucho sees a poor woman begging for alms in front of Avon, he recognizes the voice and raises her face up for him to see and it is, wait for it, well it's Marta of course, and she so don't wanna die!


Today on PEAM:
Valentina tells that froggy pooh to stay on that bed, and Valentina and her henchie, Sanson exit the room and wait for the fireworks! Valentina is in bed and Moronica comes to tuck her in. Moronica tries to tell Val that Royer is a good guy, yeah when pigs fly, er, Val doesn't buy what Moronica is selling. The faithfull henchie, Sanson, has not left Val's side. As a matter of fact, he is gonna sleep with her on the bed! Guess who flies off the broom handle? Yeah, Moronica who actually tries to yank Sanson off the bed. Sanson uses his manly growl on Moronica and she ends up going, whining and gnashing her teeth. Good boy, Sanson! After Moronica leaves, Val can't wait to see what happens when they find out that frog is in their bed, Que Padre! Later, Moronica goes to the bedchamber she shares with Royer and gives him hell about Sanson being in Val's room. Royer isn't that happy about his hijo being in Val's room either. While they are arguing, Moronica hears the frog. Royer thinks it's nothing and tells her to ignore it. Val is still up listening to see what happens with that frog!

Moronica insists to Elias that Val is in bed, not going to disturb her just for him, cause he was late and all, and Moronica flys off on her whisk broom, er her broom and Royer (Rogue) comes to the door and gets in Elias' face. That's okay, Elias will go tell on Royer to Alma, er, will talk to Alma. Oh, Royer, isn't likin' that one bit! He's rather pithed off.

Cardy is so shocked by Jessie. Seems she wants a gigundo wedding, with all the bells and whistles, but Cardy wants her to be sensible. There was something said about Celia Cruz and Jessie starts dancing around, can you just see Jessie and Julio cutting a rug? Cardy is worried about all his moola going out the window, er, spending all this money!

Chatita has come to help Alma to clean up Chucho's place. They are mopping, sweeping, dusting, I see no laundry being done, but the magic elves are probably doing that. Anyhoo, Alma tells Chatita about this competition with Avon and Orion. Ruh Roh! Chucho calls Alma and tells her he is going to be late, that Marta thingy, ya know, but he doesn't tell her that.

Chucho, the Saint that he is, has decided to help Marta out. How you ask? He takes her to the hospital, that's how. And no, it isn't the Manicomio, more's the pity! The doctor tells Chucho she is in pretty bad shape. If he hadn't brought her to the hospital she would have bought the farm, so to speak! The Doc wants to know if there are any relatives he can contact about Marta. Chucho knows of no relatives. Chucho also warns the Doc about Marta's one screw loose thingy, er, mental illness and not to let her out of his sight. Yeah, right let's see how that works, cause we all know how Marta operates, er, is.

Chucho comes home to the hard working women in his life, Chatita and Alma. They are done cleaning and Chucho tells Chatita that manana es para seimpre, nah, he tells her he will have the money for her apartment to save her from being evicted, manana. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! She leaves the lovebirds alone and then Chucho tells Alma how he just happened to have a Marta sighting! Alma is plum shocked I tell you! Why didn't he call the popos on her. He wanted to help her and she wouldn't be getting that help in la carcel. Alma reminds Chucho that Marta almost killed Valentina and herself. Chucho still wants to help Marta. Alma thinks there is way too much on Chucho's plate already! Then they talk about how they can't be talking about this competition between their companies. Alma cries a bit and Chucho sees it and asks what is wrong? She tells him she is afraid that this competition will be the end of them. He promises that won't happen and they will be togetha foreva, until they die. Shut your mouth from Alma, no dying talk. Chucho and Alma talk some more about Val and how Chucho isn't able to see or speak to Valentina and how it is driving him up the wall. Alma tells him as soon as he is found to be the bio dad, then ole Moronica can't do a darn thing. Alma also wants Chucho to see a Doc for his tummy problem and his stress and, and...... She is worried he hasn't eaten, and is stressed out from this competition. He doesn't want to listen to all this doom and gloom talk. He is rather snippy with Alma. He apologizes to Alma but there are so many things he has to do, the competition, saving Chatita from eviction, getting to see Valentina. Alma doesn't want to add to the stress and tells him no worries, she luuurrvvves her some Chucho. Besos!!! He wants her to have some patience. Yeah, okay she'll go with that! I sense a tiny piecart here.

Mari comes home to her Papa Panfilo and he is ruminating about his women problems, he is the AARP babe magnet ya know! He remembers that fight and Susanna being banged around with that chamber pot of Chatita's! He's got a thing for Chatita it seems. Mari thinks eventually they will forgive her AARP babe magnet of a Papa. Mari gives him a big ole hug and most of her paycheck, who knew! This way they can pay/get things for the apartment. Sweet!

Royer and Moronica done did the deed, and Moronica feels something cold and slimy. I was laughing so hard at this point to think they were both so clueless. They jump out of the bed and listen and hear the frog. They commence to look for it. I hope Moronica gets warts from that frog and Royer too! Poetic justice! Well, they are hysterical by the time they find the frog. He is hopping and ribitting all over the place, Ha! Both of them won't touch it and Val has snuck out of bed and hears their hysterical screams and Sanson the henchie is by Val's side. They start screaming for poor Domatilla, they wonder how that darn frog got into the bed, and Val scoots back to bed with her henchie Sanson. Royer and Moronica wake poor Domatilla from a dead sleep, poor thing. Her hair is all over the place, she has some pretty long hair. They are making her get up to remove said frog from said bed. Domatilla gets up to do damage control. Domatilla looks in vain for that froggie pooh but of course he is nowhere to be found. Moronica is witchy to say the least, probably wants the sheets boiled and bleached, anyhoo, Domatilla is tasked with setting things right. The poor woman changes the sheets, while Moronica stands by with the antibacterial spray. Royer and Moronica gingerly get back into the bed. Where is the frog? Well, he magically disappeared, nah, this is a mystery to be explained latrz!

Elias is very sad. He goes to Val's empty room and Minerva joins him. She wants to know if he got to see Val. Nopis. Pobrecito! Elias gets a call and it is Pato. He needs a friend and is coming over. Pato and Elias are now drinking some nice red wine and he tells her what happened with Rogue. She is kinda of pithed but gets him to laugh. They seem to be enjoying each other's company.

Xochi is at her place, very depressed, she doesn't seem to like her place anymore, too many bad memories about her Mama always getting on her case. Well there is a way to fix that, so Xochi tells Ferny she will be pleased to move in with him, her Mama can't object anymore to anything she does. He is over the moon, they beso, fall on the couch and land on the floor. Later, as Xochi and Ferny are in his building they run into Alejandra and they give her the good news. Alejandra is happy for them and pulls Xochi aside and tells her that she has some tips for her. What kind of tips, you ask? Well the sexy kind of course. Now that Xochi is moving in with Ferny, she wants to, how shall I say this, keep the milk fresh? Yeah, that's the ticket! Xochi is only to happy to be getting these sexy tips from Ale.

Oh, and the mystery of the frog's disappearence? Val of course, has that frog on her bedside table in his cage! Seems Val snuck out while poor Domatilla was being woken up and Val retrieved that poor frog. I hope he didn't get cooties from Moronica or Royer! Val thinks it was a job well done and Sanson agrees.

Chucho is still up with a wicked case of insomina and working on his computer. Alma wakes up cause she doesn't feel him next to her. He closes his laptop. He tells her he hasn't slept and she doesn't want him up all night working. He says he'll be in bed soon. Later, Chucho does get into bed, but wouldn't you know it, there is a mosquito buzzing around and he can't go to sleep, and not only that, seems Alma is a sleep talker, she is just rattling off random Avon stuff in her sleep, especially to Susanna. Chucho can't beleive it. He nods, he wakes, he nods, he wakes, Finally at dawn he really nods off but has to get up again. Alma asks him if he slept at all, Nah, not so much.

Meanwhile, back at froggy central. Rogue is in deep REM sleep and having a really fantastic dream, for us yes, for him nah, not so much. He is dreaming he is at Avon, but not at his current position, he is in Chucho's old job as a secretario! Love that uniform on him, don't you? Ferny is calling him encanto, and there is bleeping and Chucho in his nice suit, is making fun of him too, while Susanna, Xochi and Mari all laugh at him. It's his worst nightmare, he wakes up screaming, which wakes Moronica up and she screams too. Later, Moronica realizes she overslept and is hell bent for leather to get Val to school. Pobrecita, not!!!!!

Val is outside setting Mr Froggy free and I think she tells him basically mission accomplished. He hops on his merry way. Later, Val is eating breakfast and Domi gives her the chisme about the froggy incident. Domi susses out that Val did it, and promises not to tell. They are interrupted by witchy pooh who tells Val let's go to school. They go. Moronica and Val arrive at school and Val is laughing. What's so funny, witchy pooh wants to know? Well, Mama you are in your jammies, both the teacher and Val have a good yuck while Moronica is beyond mortified. 

Chucho is looking at Val's empty room in his house. Alma joins him and he tells her how he didnt' get any sleep due to the her sleep talking and that mosquito. Pobrecito! Chucho gets a call and it is from Chatita, who at this very moment, is barring the door to her home, to keep that Saturnino Menendez and the popos out but to no avail. They are there to evict poor Chatita. End of epi!


Avances:

It's a race against the clock to save Chatita's place.

There is a partay.

Tune in Este Lunes to find out what happens. MUST SEE TV!

Hey Y'all,

Working on the recap. It will be up soon. Please comment all you like ; )
 

Hey Y'all the recap is up, please enjoy ; )
 

Madeleine, thanks for the fantastic recap as usual!

I loved Rogelio's nightmare. Too bad it was just a dream.

The highlight for me was the Valentina, Sanson, froggy aventura.

Jarifa

 

Madelaine, I love your recaps and this one was coffee sputtering funny all the way through. I sometimes think the worst news in a telenovela makes the wittiest opportunities in the recap, don't you think?

Well, who doesn't have the sense God gave a goose? Let me count 'em: Jesús for not taking care of his health then deciding he can single-handedly cure the loca-motion aka Marta. Even Alma reminding him that she nearly killed her and Valentina seems to sail right over his head not even grazing the perfect hair. Certainly Jesica is on another roll of goofiness wanting to invite a few dozen people to the wedding including free passage from Puerto Rico. Is not the custom in PR and Mexico that the bride's family pays for the wedding? Couldn't she at least consider Cardy's feelings and more important his bank balance and suggest they honeymoon in the islands or even hold the wedding there?

I enjoyed Royer's fear of frogs being worse than Moronica's fear of germs. I especially like that Domatilla has become a co-conspirator with Valentina. The little girl really needs some friends.

Thanks again, Mads, your melodramatic take on all was just perfect as always.
 

"Keep the milk fresh" !!! Yikes, Mads, is that a Navy expression? Or a Texasism? Whatever, it's a hoot.

Enjoyed that plus

froggy pooh

Guess who flies off the broom handle?

and.....Alma is plum shocked

Your folksy style really suits this romp of a comedy.

My favorite scene (other than Virus discovering the frog in her bed) was the "conversation de sourds" of Elias and Pati. He was telling his story, she was telling hers. Neither one was listening to the other. But when they realized it, they both cracked up. Thought it was a very cute, very clever scene.

And amazed at the stunt work when Xochi and Fernando tumbled over the couch and hit the floor. Hope they only had to film that once. It looked like it hurt. And the actress doesn't have an ounce of padding on that little body.

Laughed at Chucho and Alma trying to sleep in that single bed. Shades of college romance!

Thanks for the recap, Mads. It became once again an enjoyable show with Valentina gleefully pulling her mama's chain.
 

Thanks again to all you recappers, keeping up with these shenanigans.

I've got a question. Can anyone identify Xochi and Fernando's theme song? I really enjoy them and the song supports their sweetness.
 

Thanks, Mads! And all the other recappers, too - I read the recaps faithfully but don't always manage the comments.

Love the "Royer" nickname -- reminds me of "Los Doyers" in LA. Also love Moronica (was that you, TJ?) -- and whoever came up with "Rico Suave" is a genius.

Blue Lass
 

Great work Mads. I wasn't expecting to, but I laughed a lot during this episode, and the recap brought even more laughs.

I loved Vale's little victory against Moronica and the Little Grumpy Man. I also loved Sanson's victory, getting to sleep with Vale. Those two belong together. Is there any way Rogue will lose custody of Sanson by the end? I guess if he ends up in jail.

Poor Chucho. I half wondered if the fly/mosquito was just in his head.
 

Hey Mads, what a joy to read your recap! Your version of events makes so much for sense than all those ridiculously short scenes that jump all over the place. Drives me crazy sometimes so THANK YOU.

Oh my, Royer's dream was a scream. I especially loved when Chucho mimicked Royer's snotty attitude and words. That might be the funniest thing I've seen out of Colunga so far.

I've changed my stance on doggies in bed. I think Sanson should get to sleep wherever he wants, especially with Valentina. They have a cute friendship and I'm glad to see Domitilia has joined the team. Royer and Moronica watch out!

JudyB, leave it to you to have the actual name for Elias and Pati's conversation. Conversation de sourds...perfect!

Mads, thank you again for the romp of a recap. I think this was one of your best ever.
 

shuffle, shuffle.
Thanks for yet another fine recap. I'm utterly dependent on all of the recappers to keep me aware of the ongoing developments so that when I do get a chance to focus on an episode I have some chance of getting the context right.

I agree with those who don't believe the use of withholding contact with children as a weapon in domestic battles is a particularly good basis for humor, but Val's attack on the relevant adults with an amphibian assault was funny.

Thanks to Madelaine and all the recappers,
Chris in Fla
 

"Amphibian assault", good one Chris in Fla!

Mads, I forgot to tell you that I love your title. I know you are a master at using song lyrics and titles in your recaps, but you hit it out of the park with this one. So perfect! Gotta love those 80's bands, back when MTV actually played music videos...sigh.
 

Another Friday masterpiece, Madelaine
Thank you
The episode was funny but your recap was hilarious.
Tiburcio was excellent in round 1. I hope that Royer and Virus get warts.
Blue Lass- I can't take credit for Moronica. I borrowed it from someone who at this time I can't remember.(maybe Julie or Cheryl)
How much more can Chucho pile on his plate.? It's beginning to spill over.
The dream scene was wonderful. I was so hoping that it was true. Maybe one day. ;-)
 

Madelaine, thanks for your recap. I enjoyed your commentary and title. Now to go and watch the fun scenes you've described. I saw the last scene with Virus going to school in her pajamas. It looks like she and Royer will have their hands full with little Val.

And Chucho is taking on way too much and the writers are foreshadowing a possible way that he and Alma will break-up (he'll snap from all the pressure).
 

Good Morning Y'all and thanks for your kind words.

Jarifa:

I too liked the highlight of Valentina, Mr. Froggy and Sanson, they were a hoot! I hope Valentina keeps coming up with more pranks to kerfluffel Moronica and Royer, lol.

Cheryl:

Yes indeedy, the worst news in a telenovela makes the wittiest opportunities in the recap. I like that Val has one friend, Rai, but Moronica never lets her hang out with her. I think Moronica needs to go find the wizard so he can give her a brain, lol.

JudyB:

That expression is a mix of the Navy and a Texism. Getting the milk free, ya know, without buying the cow. I added the fresh part, but I really think that Ferny will never tire of Xochi. They just have too much fun together. It wasn't like that with Discua.

fishknits:

I too wish I knew what song they play with Ferny and Xochi. The song does fit them perfectly.


 

Blue:

The Royer nickname is like how Moronica says Rogue's name phonetically. I think Julie came up with Moronica. I came up with Rico Suave, cause he sure acts all suave, lol.

Vivi:

I too liked Sanson sticking with Valentina. I hope by the end of this TN that Valentina is the one that gets to keep Sanson. They are a hoot together. I liked the fact Moronica couldn't get him off Valentina's bed. I too wondered about the mosquito, but he kept flapping his hand around, so I am thinking there really was one, lol.

Cap'n:

Mr. Mads watches this one with me sometimes and he can't stand all the scene switching either. He gave a shout out to all the recappers for this one, he's surprised we can all keep up, lol. I too thought Royer's nightmare was a scream and the outfit, too funny! It would be a hoot if by the end, he did end up as a secretario. Now that would be poetic justice!

Chris in Fl:

Nice to see you here. Please join us as we wade through this morass, but Valentina and Sanson are well worth the time to watch. Also Xochi and Ferny are a hoot.

Cap'n:

I like the group, "Missing Persons" and the song just fit the goings on, especially when Elias tries to talk to Moronica and Chucho with his talk to the hand attitude. So "Do You Hear Me" was the perfect fit. Maybe one day I can use "Walking in Monterry" instead of "Walking in LA", lol.

TJ:

I do worry about Chucho, poor guy has the weight of the world on his shoulders. I too loved the frog adventure and I'm hoping that Valentina, Domatilla and Sanson all come up with another nice little prank to drive Moronica and Royer crazy.

Karen:

I too wonder when Chucho is going to snap. He was very snippy with Alma this epi. This pressure is really getting to him, especially this stupid contest between Avon and Orion. Add to that MalEl and he's about to blow. I am worried about his health and he still hasn't eaten anything. Just coffee and more coffee. His gastritis will only get worse. Pobrocito! He really needs to take Alma's advice and go see a doc.




 

Mads, I've had "Words" in my head ever since I read your recap on Saturday, so funny. Missing Persons really did have some catchy songs.

I also wondered if the mosquito was in Chucho's head. But I act the same way if I hear a mosquito at night. It absolutely drives me crazy. Nobody sleeps until the mosquito dies.
 

Going to the doctor won't help Jesus out at all. The doctor will say, "take it easy or you may develop an ulcer" and Jesus will say, "yes, Doctor, I understand" but will then go on as before. Nothing will change until he actually collapses (and maybe even then, he may still push himself beyond the limit).
 

Thanks, Madelaine. Lucky for you I love that song, or I'd be really angry about the earworm you gave me!

Smoother flow? Better flow? I've been reading a lot of paint can labels lately, and I'd go with "smooth flow and maximum coverage." (Also, "Fast-drying and no brush marks." No? Maybe not for a recap.)

I really enjoyed the froggy payoff. I was afraid he'd get squished in all the excitement, though.

Random thoughts:

- Does Xochi know what Alejandra does for a living?

- Augusto says Melquiades doesn't know he's his father, but maybe he's wrong. It's quite possible the boy's mother told him but also told him not to let on that he knew. Or that he figured it out on his own (maybe I'm giving him too much credit).

- I am not the genius who came up with "Moronica." I wish. (I'm the one who called her a 100-pound malignant tumor who's making Chucho sick!)
 

AT first I thought Malelvis knew Agusto is his father because he seemed to be trying to imitate him, walking around emphasizing every thing Auggie says a half step behind and with a flounce. They do look like they could be related, que horror.
