Por Siempre Mi Amor- 2/5/14- I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me- Episodes 51 & 52

 Dear Viewerville,

Due to technical difficulties J was not able to post, therefore I wanted us to have an opportunity for discussion of last night's episode.  I will recap tonight's episode.

  1. Sorry for the lateness of this post. The title is from a song by Rockwell. Hmm, Feo is everywhere, what a creep.

  2. Thanks TJ and it's a PERFECT title.

    I am still confuzzled by the amount of canoodling they are allowing with Dan and Mari. I still don't want them to be related.

    This editing is not making it feel like they are speeding through a story...for some reason it felt like it was dragging it out last night.

    And Isa recognized the voice...but assumed she was wrong because Feo is "dead."

  3. I am honestly wondering if he is the creepiest villain to date. What I don't wonder about is whether he gets off more on scams or seeing others suffer.

    I'm sure it's the latter.

  4. Oh quick question : my recording cut out early. What happened the last 5ish minutes

  5. It feels like the run up to a perfect storm

    Dan - know you are starved for attention but she is not a stray cat

    Ileana - no, not Dan, Esteban

    Aranza - well you are one fancy pants little...shut my mouth

    Dafne - if Esteban hooks up with you I'll throw myself off a bridge

    Art - duh, duh, duh sure Sonia no problem we are family after all

    Isabel - duh, duh, duh sure Javier no problem come to dinner and bring a date

    Fernando - you attract them like a moth to a flame, you'd be a great pimp

    Tita - the help wants to help and thanks for letting her help

    Meanie - the penalty should be removing the hand

  6. Art told Isa Sonia is back in and Isa told Art about the lunch meeting w/Javier and bringing a gf to dinner with them. Ileana let Esteban know Javier was a friend of Sonias and Chris told him to stop humiliating himself over Ara. Meanie headed out the door with the jewelery while clueless Gema ate pastry

  7. Main plot points from Uni’s version. Sorry, didn’t watch the complete Mexican versions:
    Part 1:
    -Dafne tells Este that Ara is with an older man because it’s all about the money and the expensive gifts with her. If he wants Ara back, he’s going to have to get a job and start earning some ducats. Este can’t believe Ara has changed so much. Dafne is surely fishing to be the one receiving expensive gifts from Esteban.
    -Ileana, Cris, Dan, and Mari all meet up in the Padre’s office. He’s not there. Ileana can definitely tell that Dan has stars in his eyes for Mari, and not her. She asks Dan to find out more about Javier from his sister.
    -Dafne and Ara start working for Isa at Casa Arte during their school break. Tere, the secretary is getting bitter that in all these years she’s never been promoted, meanwhile rich girls like Ara and Dafne can waltz in and get sweet jobs because they’re connected. And Andy has been promoted because her boss is her husband. Gabi overhears, so hopefully Tere can be promoted from secretary to “Office Manager” or something. I don’t know. The Uni editors must have kept this for some reason.
    -Meanie steals jewelry from Mau and Andy to pay part of her gambling debt.
    -The writers tease us with the possibility of affairs and breakup with Art and Isa. After Isa drops the bombshell that maybe they need some time apart, Art meets up with Bruno at a bar to pour out his woes. Who should appear but Doctora Hotlips herself, Marcela. She’s there to meet with friends. Bruno advises Art to chill out and stop being a stupid hothead. Then points out what’s really important—who is trying to harm Isabel by sending that photo, and is it the same person who tampered with her car? The light bulb goes off in Art’s head. He meets with the police the next day, shares his suspicions and the phone and mobile number it came from with them. They’ll investigate.
    -While Art is meeting with Bruno, Isa is meeting with Gabi, who is also counseling a cool head, patience, and openness. In fact, Isa should make the first move and send Art a loving text message right now. She does. He immediately cheers up and rushes home (goodbye Marcela), they apologize to each other, kiss, and Isa begins to tell him the whole story of Javier, as they head up to their bedroom. They agree to being completely honest with each other from now own.

  8. Part 2:
    -Feo and Sonia plot to break up the new bond between Ara and Isa. Feo shows up for a business lunch with Isa to go over the company’s internet security. She thought she was meeting with a woman (his secretary). She freaks out a bit. Flashes back to Feo. Says his voice and manner remind her of someone who, thank God, is dead. She’s definitely starting to be creeped out by this Javier dude popping up everywhere. He tries to act like it’s all coincidence and serendipity. Isa makes it clear that they are to NEVER meet again. Their business dealings can be done by phone or e-mail, and if he needs to meet in person, then it should be with Mau. Somehow I think Feo thought she would be all happy and friendly, setting things up to look compromising when Ara and Sonia showed up at the restaurant.
    -Instead, when Sonia and Ara arrive, Isa is sitting alone at the table, waiting for FeVer to return from taking a phone call so that she can blast him. Isa spots Ara and Sonia together, but they don’t see her and are seated in another part of the restaurant. Isa ends their unexpected lunch date very quickly when FeVer returns. Feo and Sonia’s plan is a bust.
    -Sonia’s other trip that day was to see Art to beg him to let her back into Ara’s life. She’s the only family she has. (What about Dan and Gil?) Art is less than pleased, but agrees to let her come to the house that night so that both he and Isa can decide if they want to believe her.
    -Art and Isa catch up by phone. She tells him about the strange meeting with FeVer. He tells her about the strange meeting with Sonia. Isa busts up Sonia’s plan by telling him she saw Sonia and Ara having lunch. Now they know that it’s b.s. that they have been out of contact all these years. Busted! Tonight, Ara and Sonia pretend they are seeing each other for the first time in years, while a wise Isa and Art give them the stink eye.

  9. Vivi - I had the same thought about Gil and Dan. Maybe I can see her not counting Gil since he's a step but Dan is blood.

  10. Thank you TJ and Vivi. I am having a hard time following despite enjoyng the TN, in other words I would be totally plot-lost without you guys.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Vivi, did I miss understand? I thought Fernando mentioned he had a gf so she should not be concerned after she freaked a little and that they should do dinner sometime and she agreed.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Sara- Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Sonia likes to forget that she has a brother (as she likes to forget that SHE had a child whom she abandoned when she asks Feo how he can be so cold and unfeeling about his kids). And she only remembers Gil when she needs money.

    -Forgot to mention in my mini-recap what has already been mentioned. To try to prove to Isa that he has no ulterior motives, and isn't trying to come on to her, he suggests that they do a double dinner date-- she and Art, and he and his novia.

    -Gabi tells Isa that Ara is dating an old dude. Isa freaks out. Wants to know as much as possible about this guy. Even though Ara is an adult, Isa wants to help guide her and make sure she doesn't make any stupid mistakes. Too late, Isa.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Tofie- Isa never agreed to the dinner. She didn't really say anything about it, but she did mention it to Art, like "Can you believe what he suggested?"

    ReplyDelete
  14. My theory on last night:
    Marcela is itching to get Arturo back. Stay tuned

    Someone needs to tell Isabel to stay far away from Feo in public for now on. Waiting to see if these next episodes are similar to the original back in the day.

    Dafne's evil smirk should be a red flag to Ara: she wants to get her horny hands on Esteban. Ara is an idiot for seeing Feo, who is using her.

    Sonia is the most descipible human being and if I see her, I want to give her one big smack upside the head.

    Let's hope Dan and Mari are NOT related.

    Sooner or later, Dante's involvement with Feo and Sonia will be revealed and will Dante end up in prison?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh, goodie can't wait till they do a double date

    So Ara will have a snit fit with Isa over Sonia not being welcome. (I had forgotten Sonia smacked Isabel at the hotel dinner until the flashback) Art and Isa will both have heart attacks when Javier and Aranza stroll in.

    Bet Meanie blames the theft on Gema

    Wonder what the jewelery looks like and is it for Aranza or Isabel

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thanks Vivi, my twisted mind had already run through a crazy evening. Disregard half my post so far

    ReplyDelete
  17. Tofie- Well, if Art is curious enough and wants to meet this guy who has been stalking Isa, the dinner might just happen. What would make Art's head explode faster-- seing this old dude salivating all over his daughter, or thinking this creep is stalking his wife?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks Vivi! I get the feeling that Gema is going to take the fall for stealing Mau and Andrea's watches and jewelry. She's the only one at home and of course Meanie will deny everything because, after all, Gema has a "history" of having valuables disappear from the homes where she is/was working.

  19. Oh, one more thing about the Isa-FeVer business lunch. She asks him if he had anything to do with the photo sent to her husband. He denies, denies, denies. Then he says something that sends her in another direction. He says anyone who knows her and her husband could have seen her and taken the pic. There are many doctors' offices in that building. That immediately made Isa suspect Dr. Marcela, and she said her name out loud. FeVer heard, but I'm not sure if he will remember the name. I'm sure that if he does, he'll use that info to his advantage to frame Art and Marcela, making it look like they're having an affair.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Art already had chest pains over the accident, can't imagine when he discovers Javier is that Javier too

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes. Sonia knows about Art's past with Marcela. But now Feo knows Isa suspects Marcela of trying to interfere in her marriage. It's a dangerous conbination of info.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks, Vivi for tying up the loose ends. You have some memory.

    ReplyDelete
  23. yes, thanks Vivi I had forgotten 7/8 of what was said

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks Vivi for the quick recap, it helped a lot.

    When you go to the index page it says on 1/30/14 we were on episode
    #41. On 1/31/14 we were on episode
    #42. Then on 2/4/14 which would have been Monday nights broadcast,
    it was marked as episode #47 & 48
    On Wednesday morning which would have been Tuesday night, it's episode #49 & 50. Now today, it's
    #51 & 52.

    My question is---It went from #41
    To #42 and then it jumped to #47 &
    48. What happened to #43, 44, 45 and 46? I'm trying to get my recordings marked correctly and at this point I don't know what is what. HELP!!!!!

    Looks liked it's must see TV again tonight when Aranza and So-not get busted.

  27. Guys, I wanted tyo explain my technical difficulties. I can't watch the show live, I don't have DVR, and my cable provider doesn't do on demand until 24 hours after the show airs-my old cable provider had the eps up by 11 am the following day-and now Uni won't allow you to watch on their site unless you use your cable provider registration--and my cable company-Verizion Fios-they don't support. I literally can't watch the show in time to recap. I apologize.

    I'm asking if any one can take over my day to help the community-including me nice I now can only watch by recap.

    I really enjoy recapping since it sharpens my Spanish, and I really want to help those who don't understand enough Spanish, but Univision is making hard for me. I guess I'll be recapping LI now since I can get easy access to it on Telemundo's site and other places online.

    ReplyDelete
  28. J- That's totally understandable. We can just put up a discussion page for the Wed. episodes, and then we can fill in the blanks in the comments.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thanks, Vivi. It was like some Kafka-esque nightmare trying to figure out how to watch last night's cap. And the link you sent me conks out on me within 15 minutes. I'm basically confined to watching Telemundo tns for the forseeable future.

  30. J desde NYC I have Vios and ran across the same issue because if I missed it would watch on the Univision site but now have to view the episodes on Hulu
