Caray, Caray!

Thanks, Adriana! Your recaps are much appreciated since I have no Univision online. All this time wasted on Ric/Oriana when they could explain why she looks like Palomita. Plus, Fabi getting the kucked dog treatment. Ugh!
 

Excellent, Adriana. I can't believe no one called Mati about Fabi! I even heard Cesar mention at the hospital that he needed to tell his mother, but then he didn't. I guess no one wanted to hear her bitching.

Does Fidelia really think that Ricky visiting Mariloca at the prison is a good idea. I don't know. It just seems like he'd be encouraging her fantasies.
 

Thanks so much Adriana for this recap. Is the grand finale next Friday or was that for something else?

J, ITA so of these recent developments or retreads are not compelling and I want to know why these women look alike too.

Vivi, I don't know why Fidelia suggested this and Ric would go along. It seems the writers are just finding bad ways to keep Ric and Oriana from marrying.
 

I'm confused about Ruben's association with JL's company. Is Ruben's company buying goods from JL's company?
 

Thank you so much, Adriana Noel! Loved your asides.

Ric was a wee bit frustrated with Fidelia (at least, that's the way it looked to me) when Tia Fi kept pressing Ric to go see Malibu Barbie. He's already paying for a good attorney, what good does it do to have him show up? Marilu will only take it the wrong way and think that Ric is "interested". Honestly, at this point in the show, just drop this line of reasoning.

I am FED UP with Oriana and her constant whining about things are all her fault. I guess Oriana thinks she is pretty darn important that she has influence over so many things. They have dumbed Oriana down beyond recognition.

I think the Gran Final is on the 28th of February. I will be so sad when I can't see my Tito El Bambino anymore.

Adriana Noel - Excellent recap. Enjoyed your commentary.

Ruben still has a lot of growing to do. Such a wimp not to phone Matilda at the hospital. Matilda is a royal pain, but she had a right to know asap about her own daughter.

I'm okay with Ricky visiting Marilu in jail. He can let her know he's there only because he's her legal husband. Marilu needs a therapist and the jail should put her on suicide watch.

Made no sense for Sebas to try to shake hands with Leo.
 

Variopinta, from what I understand, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, JL's company, real estate, is in business w/Ruben's company, construction. I don't think Ruben's boss knows about the money laundering operation just like Maddie doesn't.
 

Thanks Adriana for yet another recap that is way more interesting than the episode.

Although I like DZ the actor, I dislike Ric's whose character he's playing here. I'm not OK with him visiting Maricoo coo. She may be family, but what about "tough love". Especially since it's not yet know whether Fabi will come out of this alive.
I say let Marilu feel the consequences of her actions at least for the moment.

Then, in the same episode he shows another side of him that I dislike: "Ric must not know how to choose his battles very well, because he almost jumps on JL for calling Oriana his wife (mi mujer)." It's no wonder I was actually rooting for JL during their last fight.

Placenta previa is when the placenta is in front of the fetus and blocking the babies exit from the birth canal. (This calls for a C-section). The reason it's called "afterbirth" is because it's supposed to come out after the baby, not before.

 

Variopinta, as far as I understood, JL's real estate company gave Ruben's construction company a contract.
So they are building all this fancy buildings, but the real estate wants to play tricks, by using lousy materials and the construction comp doesn't seem to be aware of the whole thing.

Foxy, thank you for explaining to me placenta previa. I didn't really get what I read online as opposed to what they said on the sow, so I figured that someone must have been wrong.
 

I thought Ruben's company WAS JL's company. Ruben knows they're supposed to be building luxury units, the materials he's been given are champagne priced but tap water quality. He went to Escalona (who's in on the money laundering) and told him about it and Escalona shushed him.

That's when Sebastian told Ruben to call the Piero hotline to get the 411 on the business.
 

Thank you Adriana, I can't watch the shows until much later now that I can't view them online. Sometimes it's so late that I don't have time to comment. I hate that they changed it. The only good thing about watching it on TV is now I can see the previews.

I thought it odd too that they didn't tell Matilde until very late about Fabiola, but I don't blame them for wanting to put it off for as long as possible. The previews showed Matilde and Oriana slapping each other. Must see TV.

I didn't think if wrong for Sebastian to offer his hand to Leo to shake. He's trying to make amends and that's one gesture to get it started. Leo wasn't ready for it though.

Ruben was talking about the company paying high prices for cheap materials that he then has to use to build with. The building material company could be in cahoots with CI to launder the money. The higher price of materials is one way to launder the money, the material company could then repay the overcharge back to CI, or just use it as payment for playing along, and the buildings that are being built will also launder the money when CI sells the buildings. Ruben complained about the buildings were supposed to be luxury buildings but the materials were inferior.

I laughed at Matilde telling Ruben that he was just envious of her position when he tried to warn her about the company being a front for laundering money. I hope she gets burned.






 

Ruben's company was hired by CI to do the construction work. He went to CI to complain about the materials. CI was the one who bought the materials for Ruben's company to build with.
 

Cathy- Yep. That's what I understood too. Ruben is working for the construction company hired by JL/Sam's company.
