Caray, Caray!

(Things are already getting good and it's only the second chapter! I'm hooked on this and hope you enjoy my recap- my FIRST recap!)

We begin our daily chapter with Eugenia and Arturo (who will be baptized Art Dad by yours truly) who are giddy because they are palnning a trip somewhere and are debating whether to leave their daughter Aranza with Sonia, the dear damn dame we will hate along the way, or bring her along for the ride. Obviously she is going with them and cue the male and female maids who are giddy as well. They appear to be in love as well and express it just like our for-the-moment protagonistic duo are to at some point.

Next scene has our soon to be official female lead Isabel and her friend Gabriela (who some might recognize as Isadora in Destilando Amor) are gushing over stuff as most latinas do when Mauricio, el jefe, comes in and reports "cuentas en auguracion (?)" and Isa denies anything having to do with that. I think Gaby or Mao mention something about that mostly to be a sleazebag very soon husband of hers Fernando but Isabel denies that as well.

Now, here we have our future sleazebag Fernando who is plotting with his cohort whose name I don't recall hearing and calling said no-name a Naco, Naco, NACISIMO! He just shrugs it off and Ferny gets a phone call demanding repayment to which he responds I will pay you when it is due. Get off my back, stop yanking my chain and get off the soapbox, I will pay you when it is due. Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it, I will pay you when it is due. He hangs up and cackles with his in-the-pool-this-whole-time cohort.

Now we are given a scene with our beloved primera actriz (quien ha cumplido sus 50 anos de trayectoria-cough-amoresveraderos-uncough-) Ana Martin who isn't naturally wealthy, she is a rags-to-riches story. She is speaking with Bruno about who gave him permission for something and he is being secretive. He says he will call her and then he does a AM on AM when she says she has plans and she reciprocates with his exclsuive words ( excuse me I must LOL. ) There's talk about beginning a new life and a woman who cheated him and nmoving on. With a kiss on the cheek for the bride, our mysterious Bruno leaves and AM , whose name is Maria Tita Escudero, is just speechless (probably thinking the words of Herbert the Pervert, "Get 'cho 'insert adjective aqui' ass back here.)

Back to our lovely Isa and Isa-Whoops-Gaby with Mao.

M-Do you have the chequeira?

I-Yes.

M-Do you have it under lock and key?

I-Nope, I've never really shut anyone out or distrusted.

M-How many checks are there?

I-250 like always.

M-Did you count them?

I-Yes, I ALWAYS do!

M-You're missing #'s 123, 128, 142 & 150!

I- They have to be there!

M-That isn't the case, those cheques have been pulled out!

G- Whodunit? We'd better find out! The bank can help us!

M-Yes, I had that in mind as well!

G,M & I- (Overlapping) We'd better hurry, Is this forreal?, I have the address of Tita, the works!

Back with our duo of yutzez, Co-Hort is talking about keeping Isa's image clean and Ferny agrees but it's only to keep his Nameless Name clean as well in which F scoffs, what have you done? Well, keep in mind I introduced you to Freddy who is putting Ferny through charm achool and something about dealing with an ugly poor woman (better not be talking about Isa!) and eventually I hear something about splitting cash. F agrees but warns ?? que no le chantajea and he agrees but begs that he is not to fail. They are then on the same page and he discusses about his plan to milk Isa for more cash and how he doesn't need Freddy who he refers to as tarado. To quote Fauna from Sleeping Beauty, I don't think he is very nice (but I know what I do think!) Next, F is at Soni's place in an instant and they discuss important things in which the maid is whisked away. They are talking about Art Dad and Eugenia (who I sadly can't give a cool nickname) cue the pills of death which will be key in finishing off Nicknameless-Cousin-of-Sonia. Soni gets anxious in which F tells her to hold her horses or else they will have to run off into the sunset and rapidly on those horses. The pills are chemic-less, kill any given moment and they cost a pretty penny! After that, F needs a favor from Soni...in her room...(shin-chan mode) ooooh!

Our lovely ladies are all together now ready tro remodel the alive-on-the-outside-but-dying-on-the-inside-house! Isa and Gaby meet Tita and all gush over each other; Tita snaps out of it and rushes them inside and offers drinks.Isa makes th emistake of caling her senora and is corrected,"Please, call me Tita!" We evetually get to work and there's a voiceover, from Tita. "These past 6 months have changed my life. Even though my husband was perfect, we were getting bored and there was nothing left but to follow our daily routine! I have felt like a Maid ALL MY LIFE but now I will see what else is there (?)"

That favor must been done now that Soni is with Eugenia in the patio/backyard/outside asking her how has Art Dad affected your life? She wonders why she is asking and is replied to with, "IDK, I'm just wondering as he wants a bunch of kids and he just has to conform with Aranza." Some more gab and something about leaving with another woman when Art Dad himself comes with Aranza who has had a day like any other. They begin to gush over something she has planted and they exclaim it's grown! Back to the initial conversation, Luna de Miel gab and how Aranza should stay with Soni doing all sorts of fun things (Which makes me wanna say LIKE WHAT?) and we get a campsite out of her! Giggles and lughter from AD, Eugenia and Daughter Dearest while Soni eclipses and thoughtbubbles about how much she is taking pleasure in killing her cousin little by little. The eclipse is gone for the moment and Hot Chocolate, Tents and construction of them are the rage for our soon-to-be-unhappy-family.

Back to F who is being called with a reminder that he is to pay everything in 2 DAYS, you got that? 2 DAYS! (Channeling Ursula Octopus here!) It gets serious as he wants intereses too. F responds, I have enough cash to tie your hands and feet! and hangs up.

Back to I,T & G-

T-Lemme guess, you're married?

I-Does it show?

T-Not really but that rock on your index does bebe! You look tense...

I-It isn't my hubby, it's other stuff.

T-OK now, you Gaby, you're single?

G-Yes and I enjoy it completely!

T-I've got a sweet son! Hmm?

G-I'm sorry butI'm not in the mood to marry. He must be sweet and sypathetic just like his mother however!

T-Not really!

I- I'd love to sit and chat but we must get back to work. It's been charming though!

I, G & T overlapping- Bye, love ya! Nice rock, you gotta meet Bruno!

We are now here in the backyard with our primary family and Aran. has a little friend over. The maid comes with the Chocolate and Eugenia exclaims, you should've left it to me!! Soon, Art Dad brings a karaoke machine and everyone is bubbly! He loves the chocolate as well.

Back with Isa, she is all happy and talking with Gaby about how she loved Tita and she almost forgot about the Check Wreck. In comes Mao with important news about the checks and that Isa has fault in this since her signature is on them! What can we do? What can the bank do? Isabel then declares (with shades of Andrea Paz and Domenica Dalmacci) whoever did this will pay!

(Commercials and Theme Song)

We are where it's at with the campers watching Aran and friend do their thang singing Soy un Desastre by Timbirche while AD and Eug.(it could work) bob to the rhythm. I'm just realizing Soni was in this as well LOL. Encore! Encore! Encore! Wait ti's bedtime Powerpuff! Aww man... Aran's friend ponits out Soni getting handsy with Art Dad's thigh and A reassures her that there isn't a thing going on between between the two. Her momma and poppa love each other just fine. DOG PILE! I'm tired. Daddy! 10 min. 5 min. 2 min! Sleep now! Looks like someone isn't really tired as Art Dad and Eug. are still up probably groping and Soni isn't a happy camper as she just watches in jealousy. She decides to call up F who is getting busy feeding Isabel sushi and all the "I Love You's" and he just ignores it in which Soni literally says, "Time to insist!" "What inconsideration," F say sas he answers and she as well is badgering him about how his days are numbered with the payment. He does as done before and hangs up but now Isabel is badgering him and he reassures her and changes subject with how he bought her (DRUMROLL PLEASE!)........ HER DREAM HOUSE! Isabel is as happy as Barbie with her dream house and it is explained that the owner's wife has heart issues so he wants to sell it. She insists she will pay as well, happiness, love, smoochies the usual!

Aran. and her friend are being brought to school by Art Dad and want another camp day. They say whatever mom/Art Dad says! Lots of babbling and the 3 are off to school.

Isabel and F are talking about 15 day sot pay her back (are you noticing a pattern here?) Gaby walks in just as Ferny is going and Isa tells Gaby not to think that she's giving her hubby ccash from la empresa. There's some back and forth about how they've always trusted each other and don't suspect that they're giving cash away. She gushes about the dream house and they talk about having a happy family.

Mauricio is with the bank manager and they are watching the recording of who cashed the company checks. Mao tiene cara de impactado and is questioned if he knows him, "yes unfortunately I do." (NO PUEDE SER!)

Aran. and her friend are catching up with another friend and they're discussing the camp day. Se le pasaron super and the other little girl is being rather nasty toward them. (I'm getting a Romina from ENDA vibe from her.) Aran. says her mom does whatever she asks and the Bratty One says her mom shoots her down all the time.

F and No-Name are talking about how the hell can he be her baby daddy when he can't have kids? After some banter about mujeres and Banquetes, he says he is off to buy shoes. Good, I need some too says No-Name.

Mao walks in and Isa asks why the long face? He says the whole check thing is his fault. How? I don't believe it (NO PUEDE SER!) Nope, I never took cash from this empresa or your money. I should have been realized and not just now. What did they say at the bank? Who is it? Yes and well...... Tell me who it is. Interruption and someone is impatient outside. Are we gonna get the news first or deal with the stewing client outside? The stewing client outside! Mao looks as if Christmas has been canceled.

F is talking to who I believe is the owner of the Dream House but also suspect could be Methuselah (More whiskers than a cat and bushier than the pres. before Obama.) He is being paid for the house and laughs a little too much than I think is necessary. He wants to do business again and F responds I'm trustworthy alright! Meth. asks who is the house for and F responds it's a gift for my wife! Some more laughing and BTW doing business again soon came quicker than I thought as he is asking to simulate buying the house for Isa! Gasp! What a skeeze!

Random scene- A lady is selling Pepitas(?), chocolates, American and Japanese peanuts , gomitas and etc. to a guy in his car. He buys three things and is off.

Back to Isabel, Gaby and Mauricio; there is speak of her having to go see about a denouncio and whoever stole the cash must pay (methaphorically and financially no?) The tapes are being sent to Ministerio Publico and they need Isa. Speak of the devil, Ferny calls and asks to see her en la tarde. It takes that call to get her buzzing and about a houseful of kids (quiere muchos, muchos!) She wants three to start and then more!

Back to Methuselah and Ferny who are set and he is now doing the simulation! M asks F if there are any loopholes and F has a tone that says what kind of idiot do you think I am? He never overlooks things. The Fake-Out is gonna cost and he is paying with Isa's 10% and he calls her a tonta and plans to leave her. In two weeks, everything will be in order. (MWAHAHA!)

Sonia is visiting her dad and the maid says he isn't there at the moment. The one time I come to visit he isn't here! The maid calmly suggests coming to see them more often and that psuhes Sonia's berserk button which she says you aren't anyone to tell me what to do. The maid then finishes Soni's sardonic venomous tangent with "I know, I'm.. just the help." Exactly now keep your distance and mind your business Sonia snorts with a final, Tell my dad I came to see him, I will call tonight. The maid asks if Soni wants to see her own daughter and the chick retorts with How many times do I gotta say I don't wanna see her? She is a rape product! She's your daughter... I don't care or wanna hear about her ever again. (Walks off with a bitchy strut.)

Isa, Mao and Gaby are with a Licensiada who asks if they have proof of someone stealing the checks and Mao says yes. Bring me the Proof! "I don't got them but I have copies of the checks supposedly signed by Isabel," Mao says. She reviews them and asks Isabel if it's her signature. Well... Yes or No?? Well.. Yes but it isn't, not in the slightest! Did you sign the checks? Again, did you sign the checks? No, I did not. This... is a forgery.

(End of Capitulo)

Avances- Looks like the pills finally kicked in cuz Art Dad and Aranza are looking at Dead-Genia in a hospital bed and sorrowfully. Must See TV!
