Que Pobres Mas Ricos # 41, Mini finds MA and vows to get him back. Grandma Mati found. A-hole makes a generous offer to AS, she lies: La Condesa supports us. Lupe and MA have another cute scene alone.

Refrito: Lupe breaks Nepo’s heart… in the most subtle way she can think of… which is nice of her.


Lo Nuevo: not sure I liked that Lupe put the ‘Mati lost’ situation as excuse to send Nepo off for the nite.

Tato and Frida, she accepted his ride after all. She is honest to him that he is all ‘pose’ and no backbone. He forces a kiss on her, and gets a slap back. (good for you Frida!!) She leaves, he laughs it off.

Here is Maca!! Again at restaurant with AS and Leo spending money, Maca wants Escargot (fuchi!), AS mentions that it is the best in Mex, even Dionisio, the God of wine, would approve of the selection. LOL!

Isela and Mini… Isela is getting a massage, nagging at Mini, saying 'if it weren't for these moments, I would have given you up for adoption right off the bat', says that Mini stresses her out. Tato calls Mini’s cell. Tells her he knows the area where Frida lives but not the exact address (Mini gets mad, hangs up on him.) Mini asks Isela if she remembers of any property the RP had at San Angel. Isela says she remembers that is where the old house of Don Aure/Dona Mati’s was. Isela asks Mini what are you up to now? Mini says I know ‘mi cuento’(my story). Isela asks what will we tell A-hole now? Mini: you’ll come up with something.

Frida arrives at the old RP house to meet MA. She had found Mati. Mati keeps talking of how she loved to live that house, taking care of Aureliano and gardening there. So happy to see the house again. Have to organize up a party to celebrate! (celebrate what? Not sure) MA worried about Mati. Frida tells MA that the taxi driver won’t leave until he gets paid, they start to get in the taxi. But before MA can get in the cab, Mini arrives in her white SUV and blocks the way of the taxi. Mini goes beserk trying to talk to MA. Mati does not recognize her, wonders if Mini is a fan trying to get an autograph from one of them, but who is the celebrity? MA urges the taxi driver to get going. Mini is leaning on the hood and won’t let the taxi go. Taxi driver asks MA for the ‘formula’ to get women like that crazy for him. MA has to get out of the taxi to let Frida and Mati go back to La Nopa. Mini gets all over MA. She is drooling for her ‘chiquis’. He just wants her to tell him what she wants. Mini asks directly. Did you ever go to Italy or were you here in Mex all along? MA says we have nothing to talk about. You went off and quickly married my cousin A-hole. Mini says she is willing to do anything to prove to him she regrets what she did. MA says ‘if you ever loved me, you cannot tell ANYONE you saw me in Mexico'. Mini tells him she knows he is innocent of the fraud. She tells MA police is after Adolfo. She tells MA she might be able to find evidence to prove A-hole is the one behind the fraud. MA confused.

Nepo arrives home cursing himself. Gwendy comes in and notices his bad temper. She can guess Lupe did not even 'let him in the shower with her'. Nepo does not appreciate the comment. He is not happy for the results of the advice of ‘doctora corazon’ of La Nopalera. Gwendy finds a way to turn the criticism around on him, what were you thinking by bringing the subject in the truck? Gwendy says since Lupe was pregnant, she has not had intimacy with anyone. Nepo is so clueless, 'you mean its like Lupe is a virgin?'… Gwendy says she needs to ‘explain everything to him with manzanas’.(in best tradition of Nikki from AV) She says should be in a nice restaurant. Where do you plan to take her? Nepo says: my truck. He is thrifty thinking.

Lupe tells Carmelita all about the truck scene. She would rather be honest with him than lead him on. Carmelita says better that way, most teens go for it and then later on regret it. Better to wait until you are more mature. Carmelita keeps teasing Lupe about her heart looking MAs way. Lupe gets mad at her.

Back to hotel with Maca, Leo and AS. Maca brags about having visited the Chinese Wall, Leo follows suit with their experiences at Europe. AS follows suit about Holly land and the holy grave. AS seems to be fed up with Maca’s bragging. But she is only setting up the Proposal from Leo. Promises Maca the biblical paradise. MA in disbelief but she is the happiest condesa in realeza. Everyone applauds after AS has a loud toast to them. Maca keeps stating her parents are on a trans-syberian trip and not sure when they will be back. AS says we will go along with whatever preparations you and your family decide on.

Mini thanks MA for letting her talk to him. They are still in her car… Mini wants MA to be assured her only intention is to help him. MA not so convinced, repeats to her she sent him packing and married his cousin. He asks why do you want to help me? Cause I never stopped loving you. MA not buying it. (rinse, repeat) She wants him to give her his phone. Can’t risk that. Mini then gives him hers. She expects a goodbye kiss, he puts his hand up to touch her face and they shake hands. MA leaves (almost runs out of her car as if it were infested). Mini swears she will reconquer MA no matter what.

Back at Menchaca house, Mati is back and everyone is talking all at once. Lupe asks about MA. Frida says he had other things to do. Frida asks Lupe for some money to pay the cab.. Tizoc offers to pay but not without throwing in an insult. Chuy rants at him. Mati does not recognize Chuy. He not too happy about that. Frida pulls her out of reach before any harm comes to her.

Mini arrives home. Isela demands to know what Mini is planning. To reconquer MA. Isela asks what about when he finds out you are ‘sorta’ expecting a child of A-hole? Mini says maybe the whole issue of the fraud will be resolved well before the nine months get here and MA and I will live happily ever after. Isela still against that. Have to hang on to A-hole for our lifeline. Get MA out of your heart! Kaput!! (rinse, repeat)

Saul and MA at a restaurant. MA tired, confused, anxious… MA tells Saul that A-hole accused Adolfo G of the fraud. MA not sure what to do. Accepting Mini’s help is risky but we have no other leads. Saul says he could almost bet that A-hole has some evidence at his house. Saul asks MA about whether Mini moves him… Saul guesses right that the one that ‘moves’ MA is another.

AS wants to get on the subject of wedding preparations. Then A-hole comes in and AS freezes. A-hole is glad to see ‘tia’. Maca introduces herself. A-hole greets her the ‘royal’ way. A-hole congratulates Leo, always thought you had other ‘tastes’. Rather artistic than romantic, that is. Leo excuses himself and Maca before there is any more interaction between her and A-hole. Maca excited when Leo tells her they are going to the pyramids tomorrow, Maca excited to see where humans were sacrificed (yikes!).

Mati in bed, Lupe comes in with a tea. Frida tells Lupe Mati is still ‘out of it’. Mati tells Lupe she can recognize her. Lupe says I worked at the editorial for a while and you always greeted me in the morning. Mati says maybe you are a relative. Are you a RP or Rivadeneira? Frida asks Lupe if it is true she worked at the editorial?... Lupe says yes but then leaves quickly, tapping her head calling herself ‘bruta’.

Saul keeps questioning MA on what he will do. MA whining that everything without money is so much more difficult. They have to continue trying to find Adolfo Giron. MA needs a bath. Saul says things are complicated but you don’t need to walk around stinking like a trash can.

At the advice of Gwendy, Nepo is looking at a hotel room that is rather a cheesy motel love nest room. Hotel guy is confused and thinks it is for Gwendy and Nepo. Nepo tells him but the guy says ‘that’s what they all say’.

MA finally arrives at Fonda, Lupe is kind of miffed at him for taking so long to get home when he knew his grandma was found. MA tells her about the ‘guy’ they are accusing for the fraud. The guy used to be considered a friend of my grandparents but not it turns out he could be the one to blame. Lupe says the important thing is that your grandma was found. You look terrible. Are you going to work with Nepo again tomorrow? MA thanks her for being concerned for him, Lupe jumps up and denies she was worried about him. They share stares/smiles again.

Still at the ‘love nest’ room, Gwendy and Nepo are sitting on the bed and they briefly find each other a bit closer than they want. She is even laying back on the bed. He ends up joining her there.

A-hole and AS are now alone at the restaurant table. AS asks how could you be so vile to marry my son’s ex. A-hole says Mini was crazy about him and he liked her. AS says Mini is a leech, identical to her mother. A-hole won’t disrespect AS with a response. He asks AS why they returned from ‘bella Italia’? AS tries to fake, but A-hole knows better, they are all broke. AS says you got us broke, humiliated us and made us the laughing stock of society. A-hole keeps blaming MA. AS won’t argue with him. A-hole suggests she sit back down. He proposes to her to give her lots of moolah if she will tell him where MA is in Italy. What do you say? AS offended by the offer. A-hole laughs at her. Thought you were smarter. AS says smart enough not to take your ‘crumbs’. We RP’s own an inmense fortune. We are not dying of hunger. Most of the expenses are taken care of by the Condesa. The waiter comes with the bill. She says A-hole will take care of it. AS says we are ok under the support of the Condesa. A-hole ‘shoo’s ‘ the waiter away. Vilma comes in asking how it went. A-hole complains of the high check. Tells Vilma have to locate MA and force him to come back to Mex. Vilma reminds him Adolfo asked for a good sum of money. A-hole says we will instead throw the police at him. Asks her to pay the check with corp money.

Mati, Frida and MA are talking in Mati’s/Chuy’s room. MA blames himself for Mati’s adventure. He should have found her some medical treatment when he took her out of the ‘home’. Mati says have much more now than before with you all around. Frida asks MA what is going on. MA says nothing I can’t handle cause I am a RP. MA asks Frida to tell him tomorrow what is going on with the scholarship. Mati complains don’t talk as if I was not around.

Next morning at Fonda… MA and Lupe meet at kitchen. Lupe offers him coffee. He asks what she is cooking, it smells great. She says it is called Olla podrida (rotten pot) It sounds horrible but it is great, it has Pork rib, earlobe, pork feet, garlic, onion and some other spices… she gives him a taste.

Previews: A-hole notices Mini is happy lately. MA and Mini keep talking on phone. Adolfo on phone threats A-hole that he will regret what he has done to him. A-hole gets deer in headlights eyes scared.

Marta:

Thanks so much for this fantabulous recap!

I just love Guendy and Nepo together, they are such a hoot, and have feelings for each other, they are avoiding. That hotel room was very cheap and tawdry, with a stripper pole to boot, I was laughing so hard. Too funny. Nepo is clueless isn't he? I had to laugh when he said, so Lupe is like a virgin again? Too funny.

MA really could use Mini's help, but I don't like Isela knowing about it. I think Isela will rat MA out way before Mini ever does. I like what Saul told MA, to take a bath, and wow, MA is changing his clothes now. I really hope that that stinky suit is gone.

I am so very glad that Frida found Granny. I so didn't want her back in Ahole's hands. I am glad that Frida is back to sharing the room with Granny, to keep an eye on her. I hope they find out what is wrong with Granny soon.

I too think that instead of building an addition up there on the penthouse, if MA got himself an air mattress, with self inflating capability, some blankets, a pillow, he'd be all snug and warm at night.

Good for AS not selling MA down the river. I was really surprised at that. But Maca, I really think she is broke. I also hope that AS keeps sending the bills to El Editorial. I'm sure sooner or later the funds from that will be cut off.

Can't wait for tomorrow to see what Adolfo will do to Ahole.
 

Marta thanks so much for your recap and your summary title.

Mads, ITA about Isela ratting MA out and Saul telling MA to take a bath was hilarious.

I'm shocked AS didn't sell her son out but she needs some type of anvil for stealing that money. I guess her anvil will be finding out Maca is broke.

I hope when MA finds out about AS's theft it makes him realize he is being a jerk as well.
 

Karen,
AS didn't sell her son out but she needs some type of anvil for stealing that money. I guess her anvil will be finding out Maca is broke.
I really like that.


 

Mads,
I totally agree that MA does not need to think of building a room, just getting the air matrress and some covers will do.
Besides, him saying all he has to do is work another week and he will have enough money to build the room is so totally unrealistic. No wonder Don Chuy was laughing at his face when he told him that.
At the rate Nepo is planning to pay him, MA will have to work a year to get enough money to build a room up there in the attic.

and yes, when Saul told MA he needed a bath was too funny indeed.
Doesn't A-hole know AS enough to know that she is lying?

I really want Maca to turn out totally pennyless and can't wait for AS's and Leo's face when they find out, after all they have 'worked' on the chance of Maca supporting them... lol!
 

Martaivett, thanks for your wonderfully detailed recap.

Wow! Things were really moving last night.

Great proposal with music and all. So Maca's parents are not available for a formal engagement announcement and discussion of a wedding site castle is quickly avoided by a request for a champagne celebration. Hmmmmm. So glad Alejo ended up with the engagement dinner bill.

Looks like doña Mati has her peachy bedroom pj's and her outdoor navy pj's and robe. Whoopsie that Lupita let it slip that she once worked for the Editorial.

It was good to see Saul and MA back at the Chinese restaurant. Finally MA realizes he might stink? So funny him sniffing his own arm pit and offering it up to Saul. Yuk! Good advice from Saul to take a bath. Best quote from. MA: "Poverty is horrible." Yeah!

Question: If Lupita is not even giving him a goodnight kiss or peck, how can Nepo still be planning for a night of passion????? Very interesting how Carmelita got Lupita to drop MA's name in their conversation about love.

Loved Minerva telling her mom to "recycle" the same excuses for Alejo that she used to use with her (Minerva's) dad and Minerva on the hood of the taxi.

Muchas gracias, Marta!

I wonder if there is something hidden in Mati's old house that will be a further clue to the one of the Grandfather Clauses? If so, since the house has been sold, will they be able to get inside? Or maybe it's buried in the garden, since Mati mentioned that? In any case, even though Mati's mind wanders between the present and the past, they should know by now that the stuff she says and remembers is never made up/delusion. She's always right, and they should take the things she says and does as clues.

Now that Frida now knows Lupe once worked for the company, will her ears perk up the next time Mati says Emi looks like an RP?

Glad AS didn't take Alejo's offer. But once she realizes that Maca doesn't have a Euro to her name, will the offer become more tempting?

Mine on the hood of the taxi was hilarious. I'm rooting her to find the proof of MA's innocence, but her mood change is going to make Alejo suspicious.
 

Sorry but I still don't see what the big deal is that Lupe once worked for the company. Nobody knows she dated Ahole so why make a big deal out of it. Mati will probably forget about it and Frieda might mention it in passing but it isn't as big a deal as Lupe makes it. Her trying to hide it however makes it seem important.

Hilarious how Maca's parents are on a TranSiberian trip. If that isn't all the proof we need that she is as broke and as big a phony as AS and Leo I don't know what is. The revelation on that should be a doozy. In any event the RP's are likely to get their money back while an impoverished Condessa not so much.

Stunned at how AS blew off Ahole's suggestion. Good for her although that probably won't last long. She does have some pride after all. I agree Iselda will blow MA's cover as she knows which side her bread is buttered on and it is Ahole. She should enjoy it while she can because her mamacita isn't ever going to live a life of luxury on the RP's dime.

For the love of God why does MA think he has to build an addition. AS and Leo are gone, Freida is now back taking care of Mati. He needs to just rearrange the VIP shack for himself and as someone said get a self inflating mattress and a blanket. It isn't as if he plans to be there for long. Idiot.

Nepo and Guendy in the love shack hotel with a stripper pole. OMG that is hilarious. My question is why did he rent the room - surely he didn't plan to take Lupe there after his proposal which I think was more indecent than marriage.
 

I am just floored that after Lupe turned down Nepo's proposal of taking things to the next level (well, not the NEXT level...that would be, like, a kiss that is enthusiatically returned...like so many levels up they would need a high-speed elevator), he thinks it's a good idea to get a tawdry hotel room. The delusion is so funny. Great setup for awkward humor if he ever gets Lupe actually into that room. I'm almost excited to see just how he attempts this.

As for the "like a virgin again" thing, if Lupe's only experience was with Ahole, it's almost like she's a virgin STILL, except for the whole pregnancy thing. And no wonder she hasn't been eager for more since then.

Is MA planning to build a whole new room on the roof, or just fit out the existing shack so that it's warmer and more comfortable? And maybe install a shower that he will actually use? I wish he would at least rearrange the heaps of stuff to make it nicer. He doesn't even have to share it with anyone now. He can have the fur vest and plastic sheets to himself!

Thanks mucho, Marta! Enjoyable read.
 

Julia! totally agree with your first two paragraphs. I would pay money to watch Nepo TRY to get Lupe in that room... I bet she would take one look from the door frame and make a bee line for the street! LOL!
and your second paragraph... totally agree. Judging from Mini's reactions, A-hole is not the ultimate partner experience in bedside manners, so Lupe has A LOT to look forward to, if Mini's opinion is to be considered valid.
 

I'm excited for Leo's and Mac's wedding. How will they actually plan it, with each of them trying to slyly get the other to pay for it? How much of a fool will AS make of herself at the very idea of a royal wedding?

One thing I never understand in these shows where someone tries to marry someone else for their money is that, if they aren't upfront about financial expectations before the wedding, how exactly do people like AS think it's going to work once the vows are said? Do they really think once the marriage happens, they can be all "now you're going to support all your in-laws in high style! We have no money! Hahaha!" and the person will just go along with that?

Even in LQLVMR, it isn't working out that well for Graceless, and she actually had a financial agreement with her SIL before the wedding.

I guess sometimes they figure the spouse will have access to the bank accounts and just siphon off a lot of money for "personal expenses" which goes to their family, and the wealthy spouse will never know of the poverty of the other family, but how many people would not notice such vast amounts disappearing or wonder what it was buying?
 

Marta, thank you very much for this recap! I've been sidelined most of the day with a migraine and I was overwhelmed by all the things happening in the story last night.

Regarding your comment late yesterday about Ahole being "smart" vs. being gullible: I'm not sure there's a conflict. Ahole THINKS he's smart. He says so all the time. He puts down everything Vilma says. But when they disagree, she is usually right and he is wrong. Now he is being blackmailed by Adolfo, the very man he thought he would betray. Vilma is his only trustworthy ally, and his treatment of her virtually guarantees that she will rebel against him eventually if Bambi doesn't kill him first.

If Ahole were a real person, he'd be in jail by now. Being a TN character buys him some extra time for us to mock and hate him.
 

Oh, and that hotel room? Maybe Nepo really is clueless enough to think that Lupita would like it - but you'd think Guendy would know better.

Funny, it looked like the same set (I'm sure it was), redressed, where MA rented the room on his first night as a fugitive.
 

Thanks Marta for another nifty recap.

I was so proud of AS in flatly turning down Alejo's offer, I just hope she can remain steadfast.

I really enjoyed Leo's proposal and Maca's acceptance by ordering Champagne for everyone... on Leo.

Minnie just keeps getting funnier and sexier.

What a great hotel room. Julia:

"Great setup for awkward humor if he ever gets Lupe actually into that room. I'm almost excited to see just how he attempts this."

So am I.

Carlos
