Qué Bonito Amor #122 (Mex 160) Wednesday 10/2/13 Santos is exonerated, Mirna’s secret is out, Rodri’s done w/Paloma. Whatever.
D.F.
Refrito: The Mendoza
women (y el perro tambien) celebrate their reunion; Colosso clobbers Ruben who announces he's
planning to close JNTR and suggests turning it into a parking lot maybe.
Fer and Ruben exchange war of words, ending with Ruben
repeating that he's planning to close JNTR and he has Mirna to back him up.
Mirna agrees the bar is in its worst crisis, and indeed most
businesses do see some hard times. It
would be in the owners' best interest to close at this time. Susanito disagrees: he's not interested in money. He's only interested in keeping the mariachis
and himself employed. She reminds him
she was the administrator of this here bar for many years, playing intermediary
between them and Concho. Fer accuses her
of only watching out for her own interests.
She claims people change and actually proposes they don't close the bar
and allow the mariachis an opportunity to run the bar and see if they can make
a profit. Ruben is muy impactado – not a
happy camper. Mirna looks like she's got something up her sleeve.
Later, Maria promises Isa everything will be alright. She thought-bubbles how curious it is that
everything comes full circle. She
remembers she found lurrrve in this very room.
And in this room, she will find the strength to carry on.
Ruben is ticked off that Mirna seemingly turned on him. She explains there's no way those mariachis
will manage to turn a profit with this bar and his revenge will be
complete. He tells her she better not
mess with him. “Likewise, I'm sure” she
says.
Maria injects Amalia with the last of the medication. Paloma offers to ask Aaron's dad for an
advance on her pay in order to buy more medication but Maria says she has
enough saved from her job. Yup, it's
just like old times in the ol' Mendoza homestead. Maria blurts out she's preggers and
everyone's happy as pigs in ****.
Keystone Kops de DF and LAPD meet. LAPDKK are sure Santos is innocent and that's
why it's vital they catch up w/OJ. DFKK agree.
ElVirus and OJ discuss their plan. She's just happy Maria will suffer. OJ says she won't be the only one – Santos
will suffer as well. He instructs her to
find the appropriate place, isolated and secure with the appropriate accommodations. He figures it will be a spectacle worthy of
filming.
FF>> alert – school scene! Aaron brings Paloma what else, a bag of
Tostitos. Rodri walks in and she rushes
to him but he gives her the cold shoulder.
He's done with her. He shuffles
over to Vanessa and Cindy. Paloma is
crushed. Whatever.
Susanito gets some good news and gives Mancia the good news
that she's gonna be a grandma!
Whatever.
Fer broods. Ana walks
in, crying and gives him the bad news and Jalisquito has run off and no one
knows where he is. Whatever.
OJ shops for a video camera and thoughtbubbles what a treat
it will be to watch Maria suffer and he'll keep the proof for posterity. Eeeeewwwww
Maria fusses over Amalia, just like the good ol' days. Amalia says she has no choice but to
work. Colosso comes by for a visit. He tells Maria about Ruben's plan to close
the bar. Over her dead body, she
says. She has a plan. Gee.
Fer and Ana fret over Jalisquito some more and pray to la
Virgen as he daydreams of Jalisquito singing about his guardian angel. Fer receives a call from Justo.
School scene. Paloma
tells Rodri they need to talk. Aaron
tries to stop her. Whatever.
Rodri accuses her of being interested in Aaron because of his
money. Paloma's sad. Whatever.
Some of the mariachis have joined Colosso at Maria's: 7 mares and susanito. Anyway, Maria has come up with a plan. What if they put together a big show like
they once did to draw a crowd? They
need to promote the show and she'll handle Ruben.
Ruben, meanwhile, is ordering someone on the phone to get as
much info on Mirna as they possibly can.
(Guess the show's budget ran dry – cuz the minions for the bad guys are
always on the other side of the phone and not on camera). Speaking to himself, Ruben swears no one will
get between him and his revenge. BWAHAHA
JNTR – Mirna is on the phone with someone begging them,
“Hija, I beg of you!” She doesn't see 7
mares come up behind her. Ruh-roh.
7Mares tells her he's always seen her as a cold woman. He never imagined she had a …..
daughter. “Looks can be deceiving,” she
says. “I'm a self-made woman. I was deceived, abandoned. I had to overcome many things to put my
daughter first. No one knows about
this. I trust you won't abuse our
friendship because if you do, I won't let it go.”
Fer comes by to visit the Mendozas and is happy to see Maria
is back. He shares Justo's good news
about the proof of Santos' innocence. Yay!
Whatever.
El Lay
Wendy worries she hasn't heard from dad. Michael tries to comfort her. They notice Dad's computer is open to the
same server that OJ used to hide his shenanigans.
At the jail, Justo is told he can no longer remain since
Santos is out of danger. Before he
leaves, he hands Santos Maria's rebozo along with her letters. Santos says that his thoughts of Maria are
what's kept him alive. She's like his
guardian angel.
Later, Santos is shown to his new cell – with Nando. For some reason, he tells the guard Nando has
been jailed unjustly. Whatever, Nando
asked to bunk with him and the warden agreed.
I think I got that right.
Justo joins Michael and Wendy at the compu. Michael assures him this was the same server
OJ used. Justo is sure they can use this
info against OJ. Now all they need is
that password. Hmmmmm.
Nando dreams in flashbacks of when he discovered he was Fer's
dad and when he met him. Blah, blah,
blah. “Hijo de mi alma!” “Padre de mi corazon!” you get the picture.
Justo tries to figure out the password.
Santos reads Maria's letters saying she'll wait years, and
years, and years, and years. He's her miracle of love, etc. etc.
The next morning Nando tells Santos he misses his son. Santos says in addition to everyone else, he
misses his “bro” Fer. They discuss the
injustice of their cases. Santos is sure
there's “something” that will protect them and that “something” is Maria's
manto (cloak).
Justo tries to figure out the password. Traicion?
No, it's OJ we're talking about here.
How about traidore. Mama
mia! That's the ticket! He finds the proof that Giuliano was at the
helm of the secret bank accounts at Garza Cars.
He takes notes.
Nando and Santos put their heads together. Santos is sure one of the guards is in OJ's
pocket.
Justo tells Fer about the proof he's found. He wonders why he hasn't been able to get a
hold of the Mendoza women. Fer hasn't heard
about Maria's return and tells Justo no one's heard from her.
Justo shares his evidence with someone I don't know who will
share it with the judge. Justo wants to
be very careful in order to protect Santos' loved ones.
Prisoner 20137 is being called upstairs. He has a visitor – It's Justo and he tells
him the news of the proof he's found --the guard in OJ's employ is
eavesdropping-- Justo also tells him no
one has heard from Maria, that no one knows where she is. (Fer and Maria are at this moment haggling
over whether to call Justo to tell him she's home.) Santos is fretting over his bonita. Justo is sure she's fine. Wait, there's the phone. It's Maria!
What a coinkidink. He hands over
the phone to Santos. Muchos te amos and
no one will ever separate us again, our love is stronger than evil, etc. etc.
Maria tells him about Ruben and JNTR's likely closure. She also gives him more news: she's preggers!
The bad, bad, guard calls OJ about what he heard. OJ is not pleased and demands the guard
finish off Santos.....or else.
Gulp! Guard looks scared.
Santos is before Judge Gavehl (snicker). Santos is cleared of all crimes and is free to
go. OJ is clearly the one guilty of all
the crimes. Prosecutor tries to object but the judge threatens to throw him out
of his courtroom. No one is gonna tell him what to do in his courtroom. Our hero's not out of the woods yet. The judge hands down an 8 year sentence for perjury
because Santos lied on the stand when he declared he was responsible for the
crimes. No trial, no jury, nothing. I know, I know, I threw out my beanie long
ago. It's in a charred heap in my
fireplace. A victim of spontaneous
combustion. I needed a new one
anyway. Oh my.....judge still isn't
finished. Just as the prosecutor openly
gloated that Justo has failed in his attempt to get his son out of jail, the
judge continues. Santos only pleaded his
guilt under duress, trying to protect others, etc. etc. He tells Santos he's free – case closed.
Justo and Santos hug – Santos sits down, relieved.
Avances:
Colosso punches Ruben in front of the Tostitos sign (that
already happened, no?)
Someone's on fire.
Santos stares down the barrel of the guard's gun.
Maria punches OJ
Maria cries in the rain (that already happened, no? But she's always crying in the rain-hard to
tell)
Maria's arrested
Maria cries, “Estoy muerta!”
Ruben aims a gun across the room at Maria's back
A shot rings out as Michael and Santos embrace. Michael shouts out, “Santos! No!”
Maria falls on her knees, crying.
Whatever.

Well, it's done. This has really been a challenge but I had to see it through to the end. I'll be at Disneyland on Friday night so I probably wont' be watching El Gran Final. It'll be on my DVR but I've found that I enjoy the recaps far more than the TN.
We made it. I need a new beanie, but I made it. Wonder if Amazon carries TN beanies?

Thanks, Paquita.
I am wondering who Mirna's daughter is. If it's Isabel it would not be out of character for Mirna to attempt to bedevil Maria and her family one more time. However, it was sloppy of the writers to make us wait until this point with only two hours left.
Giuliano deserves a hell of a Karmageddon for what he is planning.
The judge should have withdrawn the charge of perjury in view of the duress, but I guess I have to be satisfied that he recognized that it was done under duress.
I can't wait for Ruben to meet his ugly fate.

Paquita: Yep, girl, you made it. I'm reminded of that old Alka Seltzer commercial when I say "I can't believe you [recapped through] the whole thing!" Your barely veiled snark is muy enjoyable as usual. Thanks again for your dedication and good humor!
I got some chuckles (which I find I appreciate more and more from this blog).
"Aaron brings Paloma what else, a bag of Tostitos."-- LOL! Darn! They certainly got their money's worth with this show!
All the teenagers puppy love crap "Whatever-'s" to the nth degree--LOL!!
"Judge Gavehl (snicker)" --ditto!
"I know, I know, I threw out my beanie long ago. It's in a charred heap in my fireplace. A victim of spontaneous combustion. I needed a new one anyway." LOLOL! Sidebar worthy, amiga!

Urban: I now wonder if Mirna's daughter is some other last minute character we'll never meet and if Isa was Pedro's or Concho's so that Isa might really feel a part of Maria and Pal's family by being their half-sister.
Isabel can't be Pedro's; she was born two years after he died. That was established a long time ago when Roddy came into their lives. Remember how Isabel figured that out?
Since Televisa doesn't do teen novelas anymore I guess it feels a need to add more teen stuff to the grown-up ones.

Paquita--You deserve a medal for heroics in the face of a jillion jarevers.
You picked your way through this mess and managed to give us a rundown. I agree with every single one of your whatevers, gees, and euwwws.
It looked, for one hot second that we could cross one speculation off the list--Mirna is not Isa's mother. OTOH she could have just been *saying* hija like we say honey to folks. But she did admit to 7Seas that she had a daughter. So I say, wait until tomorrow to find out!!! Juarever. (It's too late to interest me at this point.)
Paqui--Maria's arrest also already happened it was by ICE when she got deported. I was surprised she wasn't sent to a detention center first to be "enumerated."

Paquita--Emilia is our go-to gal for Beanies, hand-knit in a rainbow of colors and designs. Wistfully missing her and Mike, but a precious granddaughter is a big pull over estupidezes on Looneyvision.
Well, to my mind Isa can't be Myrna's daughter since Mirna was calling her on the phone and we know the poverty stricken Mendozas don't have one. I'm trying to think of all the female characters it might be and am drawing a blank. It is none of the Mendoza girls, can't be Irasema we saw her mother die,none of the mariachi bar girls, certainly not Evile so the only female left is the waitress Coloso had his eye on. Introduction of a new character with two hours to go would be a waste. Oops got a flash she took revenge against Ruben could it be his ex-wife? I know she had parents but she could have been adopted
Couldn't find a rope to hang myself with the teen tiffs. God will I be glad to see the back of them. And to be frank I hope i never see any of the actors again either.
OJ and Evile are not going to get their revenge. I laughed at his comments that Santos has more lives than a cat and I guess two more of them are going to be put at risk in the last two hours. Body count still stands at 8 and at least two more have to be added and I'd even like to see a third.
Plucky little Vicente may be on his way back to the DF for a reunion with his would be parents and I think the letter Susanito got related only to his swimmers. Surely Irasema would have been the one to break the news to him and Mancia that she was preggers.
Now that Santos is declared innocent he should be able to get back his confiscated assets and his bank account should be unfrozen. So there will be money available to make everyone's dreams come true. I should point out that technically he would have to go to court to get all of that done and to prove that none of the assets or money were gotten from the so called illegal acts. However since this is a know nothing about the US judicial system TN I'm betting that will never happen.

Whoever Mirna's daughter is, knows who Mirna is and knows Mirna is her mother. Mirna's not that old, so I'm guessing her daughter is a teen. There are only 3 teen girls on the show:
Paloma
Vanesa
Cindy
I vote for either Vanesa or Cindy.
Only other possibility is that Mirna is 7 Seas long thought dead wife, and the daughter in question is also 7 Seas' child.

Actually I vote for Vanesa to be Mirna's secret daughter since Vanesa has such contempt for pobres like Paloma......perhaps lashing out at pobres like her mother?

I too think Vainessa might be a candidate. Man would that be a nice case of Karmageddon. I like it, I like it.

She could have been adopted. She obviouly has some kind of family connections since Aaron is her cousin. The way i see it we should find out tonight since tomorrow should be all music and wedding.

Anon207, excellent thought about Vainessa. I would agree, that she would be the logical choice to be Mirna's daughter. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
IF Mirna and the horrible Vainessa are part of Seven Seas "family", then I think this will definitely drive the poor man over the brink in terms of drink. I think I would be aghast if I were 7 Seas and Mirna turned out to be my wife...not to mention that horrible Vainessa, either!
YIKES!

Paquita, thank you so very much for all of your work on this TN. I've really enjoyed reading your recaps. Will you be recapping the new TN?
