Qué Pobres, Weds 3/12/14 (#47): Mike and Lupe Plan a Wedding
Beto looks as though he's going to collapse beneath the weight of all those roses. The snooty friends tell Ahole that Mini and Mom haven't been to the cloob all day. Enraged, Ahole tells Beto to throw the roses in the trash. No, Beto's not allowed to give them to his girlfriend - he must throw them out! He gets in a golf cart for a ride to the refuse area, but I bet those roses never quite make it into the trash...
At the market, Carmela and Guendy catch up on the Nepo/Lupita gossip, such as it is, and then Chilaquiler (Chila-Killer?) starts flirting with Carmela. He's reallllly looking forward to seeing her at his godson's wedding this weekend. Carmelita doesn't seem to hate the attention, but she's not comfortable with it either. She's even more uncomfortable with Guendy's enthusiasm, because in case you haven't noticed, Guendy is on a mission to get everybody in La Nopalera hooked up with someone! Chila-Killer is a very sloppy eater, too.
Speaking of slobs, JT is rubbing his armpits with his hands and sniffing them. (Didn't someone around here mention Mary Katherine Gallagher recently?) Frida claims to be horrified, but that doesn't explain why she continues to hang around and taunt him if he's truly as unbearably stinky as she claims. He puts his smelly hands on her face, and she just stands there complaining instead of running away to disinfect herself, so I still say it's love. Or at least pheromones, baby!
Mini is having trouble finding MA, and she can't get through to his cell. She calls Frida for help; Frida tells her to use the GPS to go wherever he said to meet her, and just wait and surely he'll show up. Bye, bourgeoise!
Guendy hears Frida's side of the conversation and tries to find out if this aforementioned "little hamburger" is Mike's novia. Frida has no comment, and Carmelita tries to get Guendy to butt out of everyone's business. But Lupita walks in just as Guendy is complaining that she can't figure out why Lupita encouraged her to pursue Mike when Mike already has a girlfriend. She rants and raves until Lupita tells her to shut it.
Guendy goes back to her hair salon, or should I say her cosmetology palace, and Carmelita tries to assure Lupita that Guendy doesn't know what she's talking about. Lupita scoffs and says she doesn't care anyway. She's not very convincing!
In spite of MA's advice to be inconspicuous, Mini is dressed to kill in that red non-maternity outfit. We're at the Shanghai Cafe, where MA usually meets Saul. Mini promises to help MA any way she can, but she hasn't found any evidence yet. There's a laptop that Ahole keeps in a safe, but she can't get to it. He says if she can copy anything from the laptop, or find any information regarding foreign bank accounts or records of any financial transactions, that would help. He squirms while she undresses him with her eyes and mentally ravishes him.
Ahole calls. She rejects the call. Mini thinks this place is gross. She mistakes a fig for a cockroach. She doesn't like the way MA smells, and sprays him with perfume. She tries to reminisce about the good times they shared in London; he tells her to leave that in the past. She's married to Ahole now.
MA needs to get back to work. He tells Mini he's got things to do. "You're going back to the hotel to see your mother, right?" she asks. That stops MA in his tracks. Oh yeah, she knows all about AS and Leo and the much-vaunted Countess staying at the most expensive hotel in the city. She wants to take him there, but he says he can't afford for them to be seen together. She wants to know where he and Frida are staying. "Not in that super hotel, that's for sure!" he answers. All he wants is her promise to look for that evidence. She promises all of that and "much more." She loooooooves him and wants to see him again. He takes off and she is stuck with the bill.
Leo and AS tell Countess Macarena that they wish she could stay for weeks or months, but they realize she has to go back to Spain to plan the wedding. She excuses herself to make a phone call; she says she needs to confirm her flight home. Hmm. Why does she need privacy for that? I think we know why. But this gives Leo and AS some privacy too, to be approached by a hotel clerk asking them to pay up. They shoo him away, but he'll probably come back with reinforcements; AS tells Leo to take note of the emergency exits, just in case.
Lupe denies that she's moping over MA. "I was born at night, but not last night!" Carmelita scoffs. "You're jealous!" She accuses Lupe of using her lame relationship with Nepo as an excuse to pretend that she doesn't feel something for MA.
Mini is just leaving the restaurant as her phone rings. This time she takes Ahole's call; he's still at home, but she doesn't know that. She tells him, "I'm at the cloob with Mommy and friends, where else? Kisses, see you tonight, bye!" She prances away from the restaurant before the waiter can give her her change.
Ahole seethes and tells himself that if she's cheating on him, he'll kill her - after the baby is born. Just then, Isela comes home with many full shopping bags. She is surprised to find Ahole at home, but innocently tells him that she went shopping by herself. If Mini's not home, then surely she's out with friends.
She hurriedly excuses herself to use the "pipisroom." She calls Mini to warn that her cover's been blown, but the phone is out of range - I wonder if MA knows that that restaurant is a dead zone for Unefon cell signals. Hmm, maybe they should all switch to another carrier! But I digress.
Back at the market, MA can't reach his mother, but at least Saul is still taking his calls. MA apologizes for being such a heel earlier and brings Saul up to speed: he can't find those missing papers, and he's letting Mini look for evidence. Saul warns him to be careful and wishes him luck. Apparently MA had some kind of epiphany in between episodes where he realized that when your world is at rock-bottom, you have to apply yourself and rebuild, which I guess is why he took his old job back at the market.
Haha! Mini's home. Ahole is waiting for her on their doorstep. He asks what she and Mami did at the cloob today. She rattles off a whole list of things they supposedly did there, when Mami comes outside to join them and Mini trails off, frantically trying to come up with a better story. Isela says they really did go to the club, in the spa, but she was suddenly possessed with a devilish urge to shop and then abandoned Minerva with no explanation. She's ever so sorry for ditching Mini like that. Ahole doesn't buy it, but Isela insists that her daughter is incapable of lying.
MA and Trofeo have finished their work. Nepo tells them to go home - but MA wants an advance on his paycheck so he can buy some things. Nepo replies, "Do I look like a bank? You haven't even worked a full pay period yet." MA offers to stay a little longer to help Nepo around the office, but Nepo wants him OUT. Trofeo has to drag MA away.
Ahole orders Isela away so that he can talk to Minerva alone. Mini berates him for speaking so harshly to his mami-suegra. (Funny how they are always so united against Ahole, but at one another's throats behind his back!) He angrily asks if she was with another man. Unable to compose a convincing denial, she swoons in his arms.
Chilly-Killa (I want to call him CK) is at the fonda now, supposedly to see Lupita about the plans for the wedding, but I'm sure he didn't drag a comb full of spittle through his hair just for that. Sure enough, a moment later he is urging Carmelita to call him by his real name, "Gumercindo." (Well, all righty, I'll call you Gomer, if you insist!) Or she can call him whatever she wants. This time, she seems to really enjoy the attention - but maybe that's because Chuy is watching. Chuy gets very irritated and tells Gomer/CK to stop bugging her. "Lupita is over this way," Chuy says, directing his friend into the other room. "Don't you have anything to do?" he scolds Carmelita.
Ahole is a nervous wreck over Mini's convenient fainting spell, but she revives abruptly with some strange pregnancy-induced muscle spasm that causes her to slap him when he calls her "gordis." She whines that she was overwhelmed by his angry eyes and she didn't understand where all those questions were coming from. (Mami is watching from the little porthole above.) He says it's because he remembers she fooled around with him a little bit when she was with MA. (Yum, irony!) He apologizes for his jealousy. She reminds him not to cause any stress to the baby.
A very chilly Lupita is suspicious to see MA home so early. She questions him about his "new novia." He says she's the only novia around here, and she's Nepo's. She doesn't want to talk about it! If he wants to hang around, he can help her prepare the order (or was it the budget) for the wedding. He tries to joke around with her, moving to the other side of the counter, supposedly to get a view of "the sea." She scoffs at him, but then turns her back and smirks.
Diego has returned to futbal practice, but the coach notices that he's distracted and not doing well. Maybe it's something to do with that illness he had that caused him to miss practice before? Yeah, Diego says, that's it. But it's getting better, really. Nepo shows up and the coach says the same thing - distracted and not doing a good job. Nepo says, well, can you believe it, my boy was thinking of giving up all this for some kind of book-learnin' career. Instead of this - the best career imaginable! The coach says that's something that Diego and Nepo will have to hash out on their own.
Diego is unhappy with Nepo for treating him like a little kid in front of the coach. Nepo starts to lose his temper, too. It's been a horrible day. But they get over it and leave the soccer field in a better mood.
The Countess gets all choked up saying goodbye to her gracious hosts. They're getting a bit choked up, too. Then inspiration hits: she says there's still time to cancel her flight. Then she could stay a little longer! But Leo says no no, you've got to go home and plan our wedding! He proposes a toast: to our pure and not-at-all-opportunistic love!
Lupe and MA talk about his plans to renovate the penthouse. She says they'll be much safer after the renovation when people are chucking fireworks onto the roof. She's only teasing him, but suddenly they realize that their faces are very close. They pull away hurriedly.
MA says Nepo refused to give him an advance on his paycheck, and does she have any idea why he might be in a bad mood? She says Nepo is a nice guy. "He's nice to you, because he's in love with you," MA says. He needs the money to hire someone to do the renovation. "Why don't you do it yourself?" Lupe asks. (Probably because it would be embarrassing for the hammer and the nails.) He is stunned by the suggestion, but Lupita says Chuy built the whole house. MA is still stunned. I guess he thinks houses are built by robots or elves.
Isela scolds Mini for the whole disaster of today. Mini feels that she is the queen of lies, so there's no risk. Still, she'll double up on the precautions. She wants MA baaaaad! Isela says Mini must get her sex obsession from Dad's side of the family.
Mini thinks Isela can help her with Ahole's laptop because somehow, being an avid Internet shopper makes her a computer expert. Isela is as confused by this connection as I am. She says sure she can shop, but she doesn't know the advanced computer stuff, like The Facebook and The Twister. She doesn't even know how to send an email. Mini tells her to learn.
Mini can't find her cell phone. I have a bad feeling about this.
MA warms up to the idea of doing his own construction. He can learn it all with Internet videos. Lupita says that since he's helping her with the wedding, she'll help him with the construction. She makes up a list of materials he'll need. He's profoundly confused by the whole concept of buying an entire wall or roof.
And now Sharky is here. He wants money!
Yeah, Ahole's got Mini's phone. Only one thing catches his attention: a caller named Tato. He mentally connects all the wrong dots and concludes that Tato is Mini's boyfriend. He calls the number, and Tato spouts a lot of incriminating stuff before waiting to hear Mini's voice. Ahole hangs up in a cold rage. Maybe he'll kill her now after all.
Next time: Lupita is relieved to hear that Mike doesn't have a novia - but his ex is worth a thousand novias! Also: Will Mini consider faking a suicide attempt to distract Ahole? Or is she planning to dope him up? Either way, he's a dope!
At the market, Carmela and Guendy catch up on the Nepo/Lupita gossip, such as it is, and then Chilaquiler (Chila-Killer?) starts flirting with Carmela. He's reallllly looking forward to seeing her at his godson's wedding this weekend. Carmelita doesn't seem to hate the attention, but she's not comfortable with it either. She's even more uncomfortable with Guendy's enthusiasm, because in case you haven't noticed, Guendy is on a mission to get everybody in La Nopalera hooked up with someone! Chila-Killer is a very sloppy eater, too.
Speaking of slobs, JT is rubbing his armpits with his hands and sniffing them. (Didn't someone around here mention Mary Katherine Gallagher recently?) Frida claims to be horrified, but that doesn't explain why she continues to hang around and taunt him if he's truly as unbearably stinky as she claims. He puts his smelly hands on her face, and she just stands there complaining instead of running away to disinfect herself, so I still say it's love. Or at least pheromones, baby!
Mini is having trouble finding MA, and she can't get through to his cell. She calls Frida for help; Frida tells her to use the GPS to go wherever he said to meet her, and just wait and surely he'll show up. Bye, bourgeoise!

Julie:
Thanks so much for this superb recap of a very funny episode! I like your nicknames for Chiliquiles too, lol.
Guendy is a force to be reckoned with isn't she? She is too funny with all these hookups. I really thought she was gonna follow MA to his meeting if she had the chance. I love how she always says she isn't a chismoso, lol.
Mini escaped a big one there with Ahole, but now she really is in the soup. How is she going to explain the Tato connection? I love the way Isela says that Mini is incapable of lying!
Tizoc is sooo macho, not! I was the one that mentioned Mary Katherine Gallagher, lol. I'm surprised Tizoc didn't say Super Star after he did that, lol. I felt bad for Frida and I would have washed my face too after all that. Ewwwwww!!!!
Mini was too funny with MA, so now I wonder how she is going to pull this off, with finding proof for MA. It will be interesting to see what she can do.
At least Saul is still speaking with MA. MA is working and that's a good thing, but I had to laugh at your side comment about houses being built by robots and elves. I guess MA is just used to calling a contractor and is incapable of building anything by himself. I too think the hammer and nails would be mortified by him!
I think MA was helping Lupita with the budget for the catering of the wedding, the cost vs. the profits. I wish Nepo would let MA help with his books. I'm sure MA is really great with financial stuff, but then again he got defrauded so hmmmmmmmm..........

Mads, don't feel too sorry for Frida. If actions speak louder than words, then she couldn't have hated it as much as she said she did. This might be one of those cases where even bad attention feels better than no attention. :-)
Julie, what a fun recap of a fun episode.
That whole Jose Tizoc Frida thing was so "junior high" even though they are older. I felt bad for Frida for a second but as has been mentioned she didn't run to scrub her skin off. Maybe he had on deodorant. Anyway, she likes him.
Clearly MA needed deodorant or something like a bath or a clean shirt but Minerva knew how to handle it with her perfume.
AS and Leonardo sure knew how to handle that hotel employee with even coordinated arm and hand movements. I liked how AS was thinking ahead by looking for the emergency exit. The real question is when will AS and Leo be back out on the street. Will they be headed back to la Nopalera.?
Minerva is playing fast and loose. Now that Alejo is on her trail it will be even more fun and puts MA in considerable jeopardy. Her reactionary slap coming out her faint was so well placed. I also liked when Isela called Minerva the "queen of excuses" but Minerva quickly corrected her by saying she was still the "queen of liars." Okay!
It is hard to think of MA building anything but it could give us a lot of laughs. Looks like the MA -Lupita romance is on.
Poor Diego. Nepo has learned nothing. He and Guendy "the mouth" (my name for her) truly deserve each other!

Julie, thanks for the recap. I haven' t seen it yet but you sure made it seem like a lot of fun.
CK dragging a "comb full of spittle" through his hair for Carmelita. LOL!
Even if I liked someone, I think Frida is a lot better sport than I would be.
I definitely want to see Mini recover from her swoon and whack Ahole. Sounds like must see TV to me!
This renovation of MA's is aggravating to me when MA hasn't even fixed up what he's got. I wish Lupita would set him straight on this and scoff at his idea of wasting his money.

I still don't know whether MA is planning to add a room (it sounded like it) or just fix up what they already have. I thought Lupe said he'd need two walls and a roof, but maybe those were just to reinforce the existing structure, which obviously wasn't intended to be habitable!
When I was a kid, there was a girl in the neighborhood that my mother used to call "Megaphone Mouth."
thanks for the great funny recap, Julie! and yes, I am with Madelaine, we will have to borrow 'the mouth' for Gwendy from here on out from Jarifa.
I will have to start calling Mini the 'escape excuse genius', she is way beyond her mother's imaginative black book of excuses. the 'in and out of consciousness' slap to A-hole when he called her 'gordis' was pure genius.

Thanks Julie! This was a very funny episode and a very funny recap.
I loved Mini spritzing MA with perfume and slapping Ahole because of a "pregnancy-induced muscle spasm".
I am enjoying watching the real and fake love dances. The flirting between Frida and Tizoc, Mini and Guendy acting like they're going to eat MA, Lupita and Chuy not admitting their jealousy, Leo and Maca's insincere courtship, and Ahole and Mini both trying to get the upper hand in their relationship. I think CK might want to eat Carmelita too. He was looking at her very intensely as he bit into his food.
Ahole and Mini’s superficial marriage is the kind of relationship that Leo and Maca could look forward to if Maca were really a wealthy duchess. AS is starting to act a lot like Isela, pimping out her child for financial gain.

Julie thanks for the recap. Like you, I think those roses went to Beto's gf and not the trash.
Mini continues to amuse. Her "unconscious" slap of Alejo has great. I wonder how she will escape tonight's "misunderstanding"?
I can't wait until Maca is revealed and hope its after the wedding.

Mini has been successful before using a cover story to make it sound as though she was approaching AS in order to help Ahole. If Ahole had actually caught her with MA this time, it's possible (because Ahole is such an arrogant idiot) that she could use the same excuse.
But this thing with Tato will be much harder to explain - especially if she doesn't even know that it's Tato that Ahole is obsessing over. She could jump to the wrong conclusion and say something about MA - a possibility that hasn't even crossed Ahole's mind.
I feel like I should be more concerned about Mini than I am, but I'm still more interested in the Macarena story. AS and Leo are too blinded by the dollar signs (Euro signs?) in their eyes to see that this isn't going to end the way they've been hoping. It's like watching a train approaching a giant pinata in slow motion, and I'm waiting impatiently for the big explosion of treats.

Julie, thanks so much! Very entertaining, and clever name for Chilly-Killer.
I doubt that Tizoc actually smelled bad. We have seen that he is quite dedicated to hygiene. He was just trying to gross Frida out, which didn't seem to quite work, although it certainly worked on me! I wish she would apologize for the way she insulted him so he would stop trying to up the naco factor and go back to charming her.
I'm going to be really sad when AS and Leo and Mac are forced to leave the Tres Estaciones. I love that beleaguered hotel clerk. He's a cutie. Maybe Minerva could end up happily ever after with him.
Loved when Isela called Minerva "me enerva" but I think the two of them need to sharpen their game a bit. Come up with an innocuous claim of where you've been that Ahole can't so easily disprove!

I wish Lupita would make some practical suggestions for how MA could make the VIP shack more comfortable without even spending any money on construction. I'm dying to get my hands in there and fix the place up myself!
Julie...

ITA on...

Also, about your offering to fix up the attic place ...
i have noticed that slowly but surely someone is helping out adding some seating space up there... the other night I saw a conversation between MA and Frida where they were sitting at these pretty nice vinil covered chairs/loungers, and they were lined up two on one side facing two on the other... so they must be finding 'items' they can use while they are there... now if they would just find some air mattresses that he could stand up on the wall during the day and lay on the floor at night and a couple blankets... that would go a long way...

i say sell half the stuff to the loan shark to make the space and then rearrange what they have left ... then all they would need to do is build some cover/walls around it where there are none.
Thanks for another nifty recap, Julie. Well done.
Jarifa, I enjoy watching the choreographed hand gestures of AS and Leo. I especially like seeing Leo illustrate AS's declarations with his own version of Sign Language.
Should be fun when MA seeks out his mom and brother at the hotel. I can't wait to see how AS explains this. I hoping that Leo accompanies her explanation with appropriate hand gestures.
I'm counting on Maca missing her plane. She is just too entertaining to return to Spain.
I'm also ready for MA and Saul to make another visit to the real estate office.

I love the image of the train heading for the giant piñata. The treat blast is going to be awesome.
Now that MA knows his mom just ditched him and went to a fancy hotel while lying to him, I hope he feels free to sell off her stuff. Not to Sharky, though. He or Saul should take it to a fancy antiques dealer in a nice part of town so they can get a better price. Then he and Frida could at least stop asking los Menchaca for little loans and start paying for their food and whatnot, and he could buy a mattress and blankets.

I wonder if AS will be able to convince MA that she got all that walking-around money through honest means. That could turn out to be a multi-stage anvil drop.
Julie, loved the recap. Such a funny farce with everyone tap dancing around each other. The pinata explosion is a good image!
I never get tired of the occasional repetition of Isela pinching Ahole's cheeks and the shtick when they mention Isela's late husband, with Mini saying "may he rest in peace" and Isela saying "may he never return."
