CI capítulo 128, Thur. 11-7-13 -- The Good, the Bad, and the Crazy. (You Decide Who’s Who.)
Simona puts on a convincing show for the doctors, answering their questions correctly and appearing quite sane and logical. They leave.
Valdez and Vargas discuss the wild colony (Realengo) and the rancho colony (Narvaez). If Vargas would just cooperate in moving everyone out, he could become the CEO of a utility company in the city. If he doesn’t, who knows where he could end up? (So much for Solita and MC hosting his wedding at the hacienda.)
Perico will find out the requirements for their marriage. Solita is hesitant and starts crying (not sure why). Perico promises the padre will marry them later in a church wedding. If she’s not willing, they’ll call it off. He knows they’ll have to live in a shack, since they can’t ask MC to support them.
Abelardo, perhaps on his deathbed, is watched sadly by his wife Nilda. They have a heartfelt conversation (The only thing tying them to CI is Nilda’s motherhood of Solita. We’ve heard their back story and probably don’t care. I’m assuming they had influence with someone somewhere to be plugged in here. An Appendix at the end summarizes their story and tonight’s conversation.)
Maricruz is hugging Lupita on the couch. Juanita comes in to remind her they need to go to town for medicine and the child’s checkup. Meanwhile, the hermanos Narvaez are saying the doctors were confused by Simona. A woman on horseback thunders through the fields. Ofelia runs into the living room to report that Simona, wearing riding clothes, is missing along with a horse and saddle.
(Nilda is the bio mother of Solita. She abandoned her at a very young age and now wants to find her.)
Abelardo is a wealthy but bitter man who is trapped in a wheelchair. His wife Nilda is his caretaker. We learn that he found her years ago living an unsavory life and married her as a form of revenge on his estranged family. He planned to go home and present his wife as an insult to his family. Because of the accident that crippled him, he couldn’t do this. Nilda has spent their married life taking care of him, although she longed to go find her daughter.
Matters reached a critical point when Nilda tried to open Abelardo’s safe to get money for her journey. He had caught her, challenged her, and learned about her plans. She decided to leave anyway and sold much of her clothing for traveling money. He said he would accompany her, but then, suffered a heart attack. Late in their marriage, they find warmer feelings emerging from the bitterness of their years together.
Nilda is pondering the arrangements to ship Abelardo’s remains back to his family once he dies. Abelardo tells Nilda to visit his tomb. His illness and death is punishment for a life of evil deeds. She begs him to live to meet her daughter and says she needs him. He tells her there is something beautiful in her heart. Again, she begs him to live for her. (Classic TN sappiness here.)

Maricruz was at her very best dealing with Simona as she did.

What a terrific recap! Way better than the epi.
I too was surprised by MC's treatment of Simona. I really thought yesterday that Sickmona was faking, but I don't think she is now. Simona with MC is more like the Simona of old. I didn't like the idea of MC keeping Simona for a couple of days. I think Migreedy and DEADTOMETAV would have made sure MC ended up in jail, they are that petty.
I can't believe that DEADTOMETAV puts up with Migreedy. Yeah, just let her die, all alone in the cold, thrown from a horse. What an a**hat! And DEADTOMETAV, he wants to search but Migreedy stops him. Yeah, he has no brain cells. Oh, and don't call the police. They are mice and not men.
Oh, and loved the little snippet about Nilda and Abelardo. I don't know how she put up with him all these years, but he is showing some heart. Amazing!
I'm just waiting for the anvils. Where are they????
This Simona is so much easier to take, but I'm on the fence on why MC is playing along. This is a sick woman, can we not use her as a revenge tool? Though she does offer an nice evening of entertainment.
Maybe it's me, but anyone else miffed that this is how Solita's story is playing out? Now she's married to this guy? I mean, is this frustrating mess of no one, and I mean NO ONE bothering to get her help for the trauma she's gone thru or upped her education ( gees, give her a new hairdo!!!) just a set up to meet mom and get what these writers think is a happy ending? This is a poorly written show, but honestly, her plot line has been the worst.
Miguel deserves the biggest of anvils. No wonder Lucia spouted all her venom, all she did was echo what this a**hat was thinking as well. That poor little boy, hopefully he didn't inherit the Despicable Me gene.

I only saw snippets of this last night, but glad to see I was spot on about Simona pretending to be sane for the doctors last episode. She's crazy, but she's not stupid. She doesn't want to be locked up in an asylum. I hope she stays pleasant, but I'm pretty sure she'll turn violent soon enough. I hope she turns on Migreedy when she does, and takes him out for good.
Daisynjay- ITA about the whole Solita storyline.
I'm not sure how crazy Simona is now, but I'm also hoping she'll do a lot of damage before the writers take her out. MariCruz' regression to naivete is so wrong and so inappropriate I'm sure Ana Brenda had to keep telling herself "It's a paycheck; it's a paycheck."
@Eli - just read your recap of the previous episode too.
Both recaps were very funny and, as everyone else has said, much better than the episodes themselves.
I agree that Solita has been totally cheated throughout this TN. No follow through on the education began with Don Ale, no training in life skills, no variety of hair style, no name for her son, and a half-hearted romance with a half-a$$ed bumpkin. We didn't get to see the wedding, so maybe there's a church ceremony coming up?
I really enjoyed the Simona visit - hilarious. I've been enjoying the Simona actress lately!
JA told MC that Tav was also hoping Simona would die quickly - taking another opportunity to drive a wedge between them. Of course MC believed JA.
Great heading la Paloma. You write so well and the recap was excellent. This telenovela and its fans continue to baffle me, but hey! the world in general and how it operates also has me puzzled!
Thanks for pointing out how odd it was to stick in this background story on Solita's mom and her husband. But maybe when Mom doesn't finally find her abandoned daughter SHE will take charge of getting her properly educated in sign language etc.
Do enjoy seeing the actress playing little Lupita beginning to make some eye contact and clearly she loves playing with MariCruz' hair!
So Solita married the Little Bird? I thought I said that I opposed this wedding.
Can't wait to watch Crazy Simona. Doesn't Maricruz toying with her like this seem a bit cruel?
Carlos
Frankly, I have no desire to see our little Buckeyes go up against those Alabama brutes, so better you guys than us!
Didn't Solita's mother's husband say something about having enough money to get Solita the best doctors to fix her problems? Or was I imagining that or mistranslated my Spanish subtitles?
The whole Perico/Solita relationship is awful. After all that girl has gone thru they couldn't give her an absolute, head over heels, in love guy?!
I think that Solita will get a makeover when Nilda finds her. I mean, there will be plenty of money for it after Abelardo dies.
A makeover, schooling, an operation, the works.
How will $imonaloca dying quickly
drive a wedge between Tav and Maricruz? With $imonaloca out of the way, MC y Tav can get back together.
Urban---It's just a paycheck, it's just a paycheck. Ana Brenda was starving and destitute living out of a car on the street. She was so happy to get the job that she didn't care about her reparation or anything else. She signed the contract without even reading it as did the rest of the cast. Oh! Corazon Indomable is #1
in the ratings.
Can anyone tell me why La Tempestad has been cut way short?
It looked good to me. What went wrong?
Awful-felia is so loyal. Why does she always choose the dark side?
Will Mari say yes tonight? Must see TV.

This entire Abelardo and Nilda part is such filler, it makes me laugh. Why couldn't they just have introduced Nilda to us after the old guy died and left her the money? Because they had to extend the episodes, no doubt.
I agree about Solita and Perico's marriage weirdness. Why was it done this way?
Another thing about them, I don't understand how Perico could have fallen in love with her. How do you fall in love with someone who you have never talked to? What about her would he fall in love with? Just looks I guess. Why didn't they change Solita's look so that she doesn't continue to look like she's 14?
Miguel does make me laugh. He is counting the days until Simona dies. Let's not find her, let's hope that she's laying dead somewhere or getting sick so that she dies sooner.
Did anyone see when Simona was "playing" the piano, she lifted both hands off the piano and the piano still made music? I lol'd when that happened.
It looked good to me. What went wrong?
Maybe if more viewers had your standards, it wouldn't have been cut short, lol.

I've been ignoring it because WL does nothing for me.

In La Tempestad, all of us love the hero, the heroine's twin sister (the heroine is being rather blind and stupid right now), the heroine's aunt, the aunt's boyfriends,one of the main villains (but all the villains are enjoyable), all of the hero's friends, the Padre, the Comandante...I really could on with a longer list. In short, it is full of some typical tn cliches, but the writers have done a good enough job that we really like and care for most of the characters and want all the good people to have a happily ever after.
Yesterday in speaking class, we were talking about wedding customs. The girls from Cuba and Colombia said that in their countries, you can not wear white to your wedding if you have already had a child. The girl from Colombia said that you could wear beige but not white. The guy from Mexico said that a woman who had had a baby could wear white.
A makeover, schooling, an operation, the works."
Ah, gringo, I love your optimism. wish I had it.

Daisynjay - ITA about Solita. The writers should be punished for their treatment of her.
Gringo - It seems one excuse for Uni slicing LT is b/c it's ratings were bad in MX and they want to replace it w/this new tn. Unfortunately LT's rating have been high in the USA.
