Que Pobres Tan Ricos #75: 4/21/14: The "Elixir" Helps Nepo and AS Cope!
Hola, Mis Amiguis! I will try to make this recap brief. Please let me know if I left anything out/corrections. Shall we start with an earworm? This is especially dedicated to Nepo: If I Can't Have You!
Lupe has gotten an earful from Ahole about Nepo showing up at El Editorial. Lupe is pithed.
Meanwhile Nepo is in his office at the market and is being tended to by Trofeo. Nepo's face is a hot mess of a bruise and Trofeo puts an ice pack on it. MA has come in too and Nepo tells him thanks for nothin' for protecting him from Ahole. Pobrecito! MA that is not Nepo.
Lupe calls up Nepo and wants a chat, not later, now, now, now! Toute Suite!
Nepo comes to the Fonda and Lupe gives him hell. It isn't any of his bidness what is going on with her. He has no right to step in when she has told him to step off in other words. Her words are finally sinking in and he is realizing that Lupe is not in love with him. Hmmmmm....... So Nepo finally asks her who is the other guy, who is she in love with? For his mental health and hers, she tells him that yes, she is in love with another guy, she is not in love with Nepo! He finally gets it! MA comes in and Nepo goes and MA asks if Lupe told Nepo about them. Nopis, she tells MA.
AS is very drunk in the Penthouse, and Leo is taking care of Da Vinci. MA comes in and AS wants to know if Lupe dumped Nepo for Ahole. AS reeks of alcohol, so MA takes a deep breath to get next to her and holds it while she speaks. AS says that if Lupe marries Ahole then he will surely become the President of El Editorial.
While AS is speaking with MA, there is another report on the TV about El Bambi and what is the relationship between El Bambi and Adolfo? MA is listening.
Nepo is in his office at the market again and Trofeo comes. He tells Trofeo about Lupe being in love with another guy. She wants to be left alone, but hey, what is the interest rate that Sharkey charges? Does Trofeo know? Why does Nepo want to know you ask? Venganza of course. To make Lupe pay for not loving his butt, he is calling in that loan of 300 mil pesos with interest, that's what!
AS is pithed and calls Lupe a golddigger! MA takes her bottle away and she says she is calm with the alcohol.
Carm is on the cellphone again and Guendy is in the room. Lupe is giving her the news about Nepo, having finally told him yet again, he is free. Carm talks loud enough so that Guendy can understand what is going on with Nepo. He is free as a bird! Carm tells Lupe, and also loudly, she is talking into that phone, not on her ear, but into the mouthpiece like it's some old timey phone. Anyhoo, Carm says now Nepo is free to find someone else, meaning Guendy, who rolls her eyes.
Trofeo has brought a bottle of tequila I think to Nepo's office and Nepo is thinking 2% interest on that loan should be good. So if my math is correct the final total of this loan is 3, 001,800.00 de pesos. Nepo says his heart is destroyed. They toast and drink, heavily.
Guendy and Carm are talking and Carm tells her about Tizoc's concert. So Guendy calls Chilly, he is training wrestlers, and Carm gets the phone. She invites Chilly to go to Tizoc's concert, but it isn't a date with her. Come to Guendy' s and pick them up, he will be escorting Guendy to the concert. After Carm hangs up, Guendy isn't too happy, but Carm tells her this way Nepo will have a chance to be jealous. Guendy likes the wrestlers, but she likes "Latin Lover" the younger ones in other words! (ED Note: I recapped La Tempestad and Latin Lover was in the cast, he is one hot dude, jus' sayin')!
MA is afraid that AS is sinking into alcoholism. AS swears she can control it. She wants her "elixir" back, but MA takes it away. Time for a bit of a backstory. Seems AS starting taking the "elixir" when Roberto her hubby died. It was her solace. She married a gentleman and really grieved when he died. He took a part of her when he died. The money was great and now Leo is marrying Maca for money. Like a kind of sort of, arranged marriage I think she is hinting at. MA wants AS to get to know Lupe, she is very special and unique, but does AS hear any of this? Que Lastima! She has fallen asleep!
Mini, meanwhile, is telling Isela she wants to find out who this baby Mama is. Isela mentions maybe Mini working at El Editorial, this way she can find out the chisme. Well, Mini is like perish the thought! But then again, Mini would like to try the life of a female executive. Hmmmmmm..........
MA and Lupe are talking in the kitchen. He tells her about his talk with AS and Lupe "mi amors" him. He is pleasantly surprised but warns her to be careful saying that. She could accidently slip that in when talking with the familia. They are talking about if it is a good idea to tell her familia about them.
Nepo and Trofeo continue to drink. Trofeo basically tells Nepo there are more fish in the sea. Nepo talks a good game but he isn't feeling it. He gives more money to Trofeo, cause they have run out of "elixir" and Trofeo is getting another bottle. After Trofeo leaves, Nepo won't stop thinking of Lupe.
El Bambi is eating and his Tia Q is upset with him. He can't be loafing around foreva. Well, Bambi would go out, but needs a driver. How about finding him one? In the meantime Tia Q hands him a broom and tells him to get with it! Later, Tia Q asks after one of the ladies that works at the market's nephews. Is he available to drive. Nopis, he isn't in the area. She tells Tia Q to ask Trofeo. MA overhears Tia Q asking.
At Nepo's office there is a band playing. I don't think they are mariachis. They tell Nepo it isn't Christmas, but he wants to hear "Jingle Bells" and so they play it. Nepo wakes Trofeo up. He has written a letter to Lupe wanting that 3,001,800.00 de pesos. He gets Trofeo to deliver it, coward de Nepo! MA comes in ready for work and tells the band "Nice Song" in perfect Ingles.
Lupe is getting Emi ready for school. He is telling her of his ambitions to study hard, make money and get her a nice place to live. Lupe tells her Emi to study hard, and do this for himself, he can be anything he wants to be. Don Chuy hears all and smiles.
MA tries to get Nepo to go home. He won't cause all he thinks about is Lupe. Now MA is all riddled with guilt and tells Nepo the truth about he and Lupe! What is Nepo doing? Snoring like a log, he passed out while MA told him. Nepo never heard a word!
Leo is giving Frida what for for not telling him about Tizoc's concert. He could have done the choreography, he is just a musical genius! Leo gets a call from Diego, and Leo cancels the class for today. He is going with Frida to the concert. Perla runs into Deigo outside and sweet talks him. He is also going to the concert.
Don Chuy is in a very nice suit. His apparel is for this concert of Tizoc's, cause it's a special occasion. He hasn't dressed like this since he married his dearly departed wife. They family goes outside, Lupe and Emi are going off to school, and Don Chuy gives Tizoc the benediction and sees Carm with Chilly. He greets her and she is short with him. Don Chuy decides not to go to the concert after all. Carm is very sad.
Ahole is in his office and Vilma brings him coffee. She asks after Lupe, how is the conquest going? She likes Emi's name and Ahole wants to conquer Lupe through that brat Emi. Some Dad he will be! Oh, he also told Vilma to shut it, she was waxing poetic again.
Diego has gotten the banana truck and is hauling Tizoc and the band to the concert and Carm is riding in the truck with him. There isn't any more room so Leo and Frida will take a taxi.
MA talks to that lady that Tia Q was talking to and I think they are talking about banana bread recipes. Tia Q comes by and MA gives her a banana and asks if she needs any help, he can help her out. She tells MA she needs a driver for about a week. MA very interested.
Lupe has come home and is surprised her Papa Chuy didn't go to the concert, was it because Carm was with Chilly by any chance? No, that wasn't it, he respects Carm and her choices. Lupe tells her Papa that Nepo will find someone new. Now Don Chuy wonders who Lupe has a shine for, cause her eyes are bright and she is smiling more. Don Chuy tells her he knows that Ahole broke her heart, but she has done very well with Emi, she is an adult and can see who she wants to, so tell him who is the guy? Well, he'd like the guy, he's a good man she says. He wants to meet this guy. Lupe tells him he lives in the 'hood, as a matter of fact right in this house! Don Chuy had covered his hand over hers and as soon as she tells him it's MA he takes his hand off hers and his face darkens! He is one pithed off Papa!
AVANCES:
Ahole finds the bebe monitor and has a few choice things to say to it with Mini and Isela listening in.
Don Chuy and MA have a chat. Ruh, Roh!
Lupe has gotten an earful from Ahole about Nepo showing up at El Editorial. Lupe is pithed.
Meanwhile Nepo is in his office at the market and is being tended to by Trofeo. Nepo's face is a hot mess of a bruise and Trofeo puts an ice pack on it. MA has come in too and Nepo tells him thanks for nothin' for protecting him from Ahole. Pobrecito! MA that is not Nepo.

Thank you Mads!!! I totally missed the 'mi amor' scene, dozing in and out... so thank you for filling me in what I missed! I did get to catch the previews and know there is a doozy of an episode tonight!
Nepo wanting his money back with interest... how low can you go??
makes me giggle in anticipation of how AS and Leo will react to the news that Maca is almost as poor as them!! THAT is MUST SEE TV!! however long we have to wait for it.
So funny that MA tries to tell people about his relationship with Lupe only to have them fall asleep... too cute! poor MA. he has told and then he has not told.
Don CHuy deserves to end up alone, he certainly does not deserve Carm. She should look elsewhere and stop wasting 'the best years of her life left' on a loser (in the romance dept, as a dad and granddad he is ideal) like him.

Madelaine, thanks for a very fine recap of a very fun episode. I especially liked " Lupe 'mi amors him'". And he is one "pithed off papa." Btw, the earworm link didn't work because it didn't let me see the video based on copyright issues.:(
A lot of funny in this one:
AS and Nepo both drunk as skunks falling asleep as soosn as MA tries to explain his feelings for Lupita.
Queta handing Bambi a broom so he can do something and him telling her that if he has the broom she won't have any way to get around..
Nepo asking Trofeo if "intereses" was spelled with a "z" or a "c". Trofeo answering with both because it is an "esdrujula word" . "Esdrujula" refers to syllable stress not spelling.
MA's A&B choice for Leonardo: leave or get slapped.
MA giving the "walnut struesel banana bread"recipe to the lady at the market
Not so funny:
Hearing why AS drinks and how money helps her sadness.
Don Chuy being so jealous he chose to stay home.
Lupita telling don Chuy that Nepo was just as much a good person as he was stubborn and not knowing yet that he is planning on calling in his loan with interest.
Don Chuy's reaction to Lupita's revelation of being in love with MA.
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Mads thanks so much for your recap and your earworm.
ITA w/Marta about Nepo hitting a new low in calling in the loan. What a jerk! And yes on poor Carm finding a real man who appreciates her.
Jarifa, thanks for sharing the moments you found funny as I did too.

Thanks, Madelaine! Great job highlighting the highlights and taking note of the details.
Cute stuff as usual. I liked MA verbifying "miamoreando" and offering Leo Option A, you disappear, or Option B, I hit you.
Also liked his telling the woman in the market about the walnut struesel banana bread he learned to make in London. Could he please make that for Lupe and the Mechacas? That might help him smooth things over!
Don Chuy and Nepo are both otherwise good guys who are total trolls when the topic is romantic love. I thought Lupita was going to have to strangle Nepo. And Chuy is not my favorite right now, either. I wonder if he will really be as angry as the preview showed, or if that is in someone's imagination.
Chilly Killer's gym is called Chilakiller!

Marta, thanks for the recap and thanks for standing watch for the rest of us.
Jarifa (and Karen), I agree with Jarifa's list of the funny/not so funny. MA was really excited when Lupi called him "mi amor."
Bambi and tia are hilarious together. She has no fear of the dangerous gangster.
The group playing "Jingle Bells" by request for a drunken Nepo struck me as really funny.
Diego was going to back out of Tizoc's concert until he heard Leo was going. Then he turned all eager and excited.
Sad scene with AS recounting her marriage story to MA. I was going by the English captions as well as her speech. I had the impression that her innocent young love was damaged by some actions of her husband. Could have misunderstood. Anyway, MA really listened to her and responded with love.

Another thing I thought was funny was Isela's and Mine's idea that all a business executive does is give orders and paint her nails. I hope Minerva does get a job at the editorial! She can't be worse at it than Ahole. She might at least have some not terrible ideas for photo shoots.
Thanks for the great recap!
Don Chuy is sure in a scary mood. I'm nervous about what's going to happen tonight.
I don't like to see Nepo turning nasty. He has no reason to be mad at Lupita. It was funny seeing him and Trofeo both passed out drunk though. Nepo asking the band to play Jingle Bells was funny too. I don't think I had ever heard that song in Spanish before.

Excellent Madelaine. I'm so impressed with the recaps ya'll are presenting for this TN. Amazing, since watching this is like watching something done in 5 different languages.
"I don't think they are mariachis."
Trios of guys with guitars singing love songs are very popular in Mexico (like Trio Los Panchos). Remember Rogelio (LQNPA) hired one such group (not so good) to serenade Ana Paula?
I felt genuine pity for AS as she described her reason for drinking to MA.
