De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #98, 6/19/2014
De que cayó otra vez,
cayó otra vez
Mañana:
Nat sends heartbroken Diego away, while Rod watches and smirks. Diego (?) tries
to get Nat alone to talk, and she ends up pushing him away and slapping him
around.
I’m just doing a recap from memory without going back
to watch a 2nd time. The plot went all over the place today, so I hope I
capture it all. If not, let us know in the comments.
- We get a repeat of dumb bunny Natalia (who I do actually like),
assuming the healthy looking, smirking guy in front of her is Diego instead of
Rodrigo. She proceeds to smooch him through the jail bars, and detail her plans
to see Diego on the sly, and find a way to get back at Rod. “Diego” is all on
board with making “them” pay, and keeping their smooching sessions secret.
-Kimberly has decided that the best way to hold on to her
man is through parading around in nothing but his shirt, being sweet to him,
and giving him massages in bed. For the first time the audience is right on
board with Kim, since she manages to get El shirtless for a number of scenes.
He gets a call from Cunchetina, who relates her picture swap with Gino,
and El lies to Kim that it was a coworker telling him something about the
operation they were on last night. Kim doesn’t look convinced, and looks quite
dangerous with the pointy nail file she’s got in hand. El goes to the shower.
Sadly, we don’t get to go with him. Kim calls back the number that just called
El, gets hotel reception, and begins to doubt that El was out all night on a
police operation. She suspects he was instead with that “resbalosa” C-Tina. She calls
Morales, and he’s not quick enough to confirm that he and El were together on
an operation the night before. Kim looks like she might be considering other
options for that nail file.
-Andres is hanging out with his boat captain in a bar. He checks
his lottery numbers as usual and realizes he’s won. He’s rich! The fool shouts
this out for the whole bar to hear, and says everyone’s drinks are on him. Some
shady looking dude comes in, asks who the generous young dude is, and gets a
greedy glint in his eye when he learns Andres is a fresh lottery winner. Later,
Andres gets really drunk (hope he put that ticket somewhere safe), and starts
whining about how his happiness would be complete if he had Nat. If only he had
struck it rich before she married that rich guy, Diego Carceres! (Yeah, because
that’s why she chose Diego over you.) This perks up the ears of the shady dude
who comes over and says they have Diego in common. I realize that this is
probably the shady P.I. that all the Carceres family hired, and this guy thinks
it was Diego who hired him, and not creepy Rod. (Sorry, I didn’t watch those
epis, only read about them.)
- Brigitte the Brat calls Irene to lie about being sick and
needing to take the day off. Irene brings her up to speed on Nat's and Rod’s
nights in jail, the Tuxpan attempted rape that ended with Rod in a coma, and
the deal with the Devil (aka Grumps). See, Brigitte. You can’t be in the gossip loop if
no one can stand to be around you. She calls Rod to offer her heartfelt
support. He blows her off. Then she calls Alberto (aka Big Al) to offer her
heartfelt support for Nat. He blows her off. She gets ticked off.
- Big Al arrives at the jail to spring Nat and tells her
about all her peeps waiting for her in the station. She asks if Diego is there
too, and he reminds her that wouldn’t be a good idea considering the deal they
just made to free her. She scolds herself silently, since she and “Diego”
decided to keep their secret smooching under wraps.
- The Crazy Crab Lady and the Crabettes are down in the
dumps. Their fonda is floundering and their customers have dried up. The
Crabettes don’t want to move again. The Crab Lady says they will change
strategy—they will become a cantina!
- Diego goes to the big house and packs his bags. Grumps
thinks the best way to keep him in the house with his murderous brother and the
evil ogre who separated him from the woman he loves, is to insult said woman.
Needless to say, Diego is not convinced by his arguments and leaves the manse
for good.
-Mara tells Paolo about the lady pics she saw Gino ogling on his computer. Paolo seems wary, but he’s also not jumping to conclusions.
I think he’ll be investigating soon, though. Paolo updates Gino on Nat’s drama
and her night in the slammer. The three of them leave the bowling alley and
head to the fonda for Nat’s welcome home party.
-Nat is greeted, hugged and kissed by her two sets of
parents at the jail—Carmen and El; and Irene and Tad. Big Al calls Diego and tells
him Nat is free, and she seemed to expect that he would be there. He tells
Diego to come to the party at the fonda.
-All the friends and family (minus the Brat) are there to
greet Nat with signs, hugs, and kisses. Diego arrives with a big bouquet of
flowers for Nat and they kiss (way more passionately than I would feel
comfortable doing in front of my family; Carmen’s face is classic). Nat tells
Diego they don’t have to worry about anyone ratting them out since everyone
surrounding them are their friends. And isn’t it so nice that they don’t have
to kiss through bars like they did this morning? “This morning? I didn’t see
you this morning.” Nat realizes that she’s been played, AGAIN!
- Diego runs out to take care of Rod, and hops in a cab. Big
Al runs after him, and Irene and Tad follow, but they lose him. Big Al calls Alonso, updates him,
and asks him to help track down Diego before a tragedy occurs.
-Nat explains to Carmen what an idiot she is. Carmen doesn’t
disagree.
-Drunk off his a** Andres gets nervous when he learns the PI
works for the Carceres, but relaxes when he hears it’s not about him, but
instead about a girl that went missing about 20 years ago. The bar owner wants
Andres to pay the huge tab the whole bar just ran up. Andres thinks he can
leave it all on his tab until he cashes in his lottery tickets. That doesn’t
fly with the owner. Since his Capi doesn’t have enough cash either, they end up
washing dishes. Andres tells Capi why he was so nervous around the PI. He also
whines about how Nat is the only woman he’s ever loved. He does admit that
riches aren’t important to Nat.
-Rod finally comes home and mouths off at Grumps who wants
to know where the heck he’s been. Grumps says he didn’t pay all that money for
this. Rod tells him to discount it from his inheritance. You bet on the wrong
horse, Grumps.
-Alonso comes to Caprico to see if either of the twins
showed up there. It’s really an excuse to look at Irene with moony eyes and to
hold her hands (to comfort her, of course). Tad comes in with coffee for Irene,
and hides any hint of jealousy pretty darn well. Tad’s acting like a class act
today. He asks Al about the mental evaluation they did on Rod in the jail. Al
says it looks like an emotional disorder, and that they can probably use his
fake “confusion” about his identity to intern him in a mental hospital. (Why do
I see poor Diego being interned by mistake? Time to get that safe word, Diego!)
- Grumps is in Rod’s room griping at him about being lazy
and demanding that he get to work, especially as they have wasted days on his
legal troubles and Diego has quit. Hablando del rey…Diego comes storming in,
accuses Rod of supplanting him with Nat again, and they start trading blows.
Grumps tries to break it up. Either Rod hits Grumps, or he gets a sharp pain (heart?), but
he ends up falling to the bed. Diego is distracted by this long enough to give
Rod an opportunity to sucker punch him in the gut. Diego falls to the ground, Rod
picks up a heavy round object from the armoire, and is about to bash Diego’s
skull in when Big Al arrives. Big Al helps Diego up, and they both help Grumps to
his room. No one notices that Rod is palming a potential murder weapon.
-Gino sees Carmen thanking El for all his help with Nat, and
feels useless. He leaves for the bowling alley, with his head hanging.
Meanwhile, C-Tina is stalking the bowling alley in sunglasses and a scarf
covering her head.
-Rod talks to himself and decides it’s better that he didn’t
kill Diego. He’d rather humiliate him.
-Grumps blames Natalia for all the troubles between the
brothers. He wants Diego to come back to Caprico and forget about Nat. Diego
tells Grumps that he, Rod, and Caprico can go to hell!
- Regina tells Gino that there was a woman looking for him.
His nervous reaction gets Paolo’s and Mara’s attention. They decide to
investigate. Gino checks his latest love email from his secret admirer. She
wants to meet. She’ll be waiting for him at 8pm at a café. Paolo comes in and
asks to use the computer. Gino, in a very good mood, lets him use it.
-Diego and Big Al head to the fonda and are stopped by a cop
at the entrance. He was given strict orders not to let Rod Carceres in. He has
a photo. Big Al and Diego explain the twin thing and assure the cop that he is
Diego. Great! How does this help the cop when Rod actually does come around?
Big Al gets a call from the Brat. This time she manages to dredge up a few
crocodile tears and sobs, and Big Al is putty. He rushes over to see her.
-Diego enters the fonda alone, and this time Nat is as cold
as ice. She’s not going to be fooled again until she can learn to distinguish
between the two of them. Right now she feels like she both loves and hates Rod
AND Diego with the same intensity!

Sara- I wonder if he'll even be able to hang on to the tickets long enough to claim his money. If the PI reports back to Rod/"Diego", I could see Rod doing something like blackmailing Andres-- payment for not bringing charges against him.
I forgot to mention that when Grumps was trying to pressure Diego to stay (the first time) he threatened that he would bring charges against Nat again, and Diego countered that he would file charges against Rod if he did that. So they were at an impasse. I still can't believe he is standing by that good-for-nothing Rod, if he can only have one twin by his side. Really? Rod over Diego?
Thank you Vivi in DC!
I wasn't really paying attention tonight. I felt like things were going in circles. Maybe it was my brain!
Grumps needs a good kick in the pants.

Thanks so much Vivi for posting your great recap so quickly. I am kind of missing the two hour slots but I bet you recappers are NOT. At least something happened each night.
This is getting tedious with Nat not being able to tell the twinsies apart. I simply cannot believe that they kiss identically! And she isn't going the distance with either one, that would be a sure fire way to tell. Maybe she should scratch one of them enough to make a scar. I had to laugh about your comment about the Brat not having anyone who wants to be with her so of course she is out of the loop. I wish big Al wasn't such a sap, Brat so does not deserve anyone but the cad Rodrigo when her pie cart comes home.

Ah, it's been a long time since I've had a Vivi recap to enjoy. Hope your night life is still fabulous and fun though.
" For the first time the audience is right on board with Kim, since she manages to get El shirtless for a number of scenes." This!
And also, "El goes into the shower. Sadly, we don't get to go with him." Goshdarnit, why are there no gratuitous shower scenes with this lovely man!!?? I protest.
And perfect description of Alonso--"moony eyes". The actor's kinda cute but he only has one expression....ever...MOONY.
This was great Vivi. Haven't seen it yet but I will, just for the Gino and Eleazar scenes. Now get back to dancing the salsa with your swains.

Vivi, you see & hear more detail asleep than I can with a marathon loop. Right on....." For the first time the audience is right on board with Kim, since she manages to get El shirtless for a number of scenes."
I'm not bothered by Tad's infrequent displays of jealously (which he was able to conceal last night). What bothers me is Irene & Alsono's flimsy excuses to see and be with each other right under his nose. They know they're flimsy excuses but insult Tad's intelligence expecting him not to know too.
Irene - for whatever reason you married him it is disrespectful your charade
Alonso - mealy mouth
Nat - "Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules"
Diego - have some self respect, let him have her
Hot Rod - "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee"
Grumps - now you know what it's like to be gut punched
Brigitte - good girl, Nat uses the crying thing all the time and it works
Alberto - at least demand a key if you're gonna pay the rent
Andres - acquiring money is much easier than keeping it
Unscrupulous PI - vulture
Gino - you dog
Kimberly - next time charm the pants off him

Vivi, your recap bubbled with humor and wit. After the depressing events on Robo, your recap finally gave me something to smile about today.
Sensational. "El goes to the shower. Sadly, we don’t get to go with him", "Grumps thinks the best way to keep him in the house with his murderous brother and the evil ogre who separated him from the woman he loves, is to insult said woman" and "It’s really an excuse to look at Irene with moony eyes and to hold her hands (to comfort her, of course)" were only some of my favorites. Too many to mention them all.
How will Nat be able to tell the twins apart? At this point, I'm thinking a hidden tatoo might be in order. It might be inconvenient for Diego to have to whip his shirt up at every meeting, (and it would help if he had the physique of El), but this is getting ridiculous.
Vivi, I fear you may be onto something about Diego being institionalized instead of Rod. I am really hoping the writers don't go there and am hoping some fresh new twist from the writers.
Grumps is going to hell in a handbasket. I cannot bear looking at those evil, beady little eyes any longer. Fatima, if only one good kick would knock some sense into him, I would be totally behind it. I fear though that will not do the trick :)
Judy, amiga, you also made me laugh about the lack of "gratuitous shower scenes" for our handsome El! Yes, we deserve them, don't we?
Cheryl, I totally agree that Brig and Rod deserve each other – perhaps they can share the pie cart?
tofie, "Unscrupulous PI - vulture" is spot on.
Vivi, thank you!
Diana

Tofie- I wouldn't waste any energy being worried that La Gata has been pushed aside. Uni might change its mind again in the next few weeks. They do that.
Yeah. I have NO idea what Uni is doing right now.
7-9pm DQTQTQ- There are about 70 epis to go—a little over three months’ worth, which would take us to the end of September. Since they are doing double and triple episodes so often, we may wrap up by end of July or August sometime. If this is only given an hour block, something else can go into the 7pm or 8pm slot at any time. Something light like DQTQTQ or a comedy? Both La Gata and Mi Corazon es Tuyo fit the bill.
9pm Robo- 30 epis to go- a month and a half which takes us to the first week of August. This dark drama should have really been in the 10pm slot. Would Uni replace it with a light tn or a comedy? Do they ever intend to show Quiero Amarte?
10pm Pobres- 48 epis to go- a little over 2 months which takes us to the end of August. Would Uni really be silly enough to put another family/comedy tn in such a late timeslot? I think they did a disservice to Pobres, which has done really well in Mexico at 8:30pm, and not as well in the US at 10pm. Not surprising.

Hi, Vivi,
Thanks for your witty recap. I especially liked "See, Brigitte. You can't be in the gossip loop if no one can stand to be around you."
Boy, that scares me to think Diego might wind up in the mental hospital.
JudyB and Diana, when I was in the Army I followed lots of fit guys into the shower; can't say I ever saw anything the least bit interesting.
David

Judy- Update on the dating life-- I had dinner date with a tall, handsome half Cuban/Half Venezuelan guy setup for this evening...but he threw out his back two days ago. I guess we are at the age where that starts to happen. In any case, now I am taking my parents out to a baseball game tonight- Nats vs Braves. Not as exciting, but fun. I'll pick up the dating pace again next week. Trying not to be a slacker. :)
Sorry to continue the off topic conversation, but I have to say that I agree with you Vivi! Que Pobres really was given a raw deal.
Vivi: Loved the recap. Thanks for taking time out of your busy social life. I’m jealous.
Question: How can Grumps threaten do disinherit members of his family when the money isn’t his to disinherit with?
Flaco was in Mexico a few weeks ago and said that Quiero Amarte wasn’t doing to well there.
I was thinking of a password for Nat and Diego--one that Rod couldn’t possibly guess and for some odd reason “peanut butter and jelly” popped in my head.

Nanette- Perhaps the password could be "concha" for the conch shell Diego gave Nat as a present. It was relating that story that helped convince her of his identity when he came stumbling to her door.
The social life is busy by design right now. A mix of online dating, speed dating events, Meetup group events, and Rotary Club events. In addition to the usual friends and family get togethers. Considering hanging out with my friends is usually exactly like what happened at the bbq I attended last weekend, where I was THE ONLY SINGLE person among spouses and little kids, I decided this year that I had to widen the social circle if there's any chance of finding a bf/husband. Of course, I'd rather remain single over the drama we see in tn relationships!

Hmmn...Vivi...well, you could take your parents to the ball game or give that poor hurtin' Venezuelan guy a back massage. Just sayin'.
Still, that may not be the route you want to go. I know a couple of nurses who married guys they met as patients, and then spent the rest of their married life taking care of these fellas. Not fun.
And David...yes, thanks for that vivid word picture. Too bad you couldn't appreciate the view. But Vivi and I both have good imaginations and we ARE. And Diana too, I'm sure.

Gracias, Vivi! You're right, the plot was all over the place--if we can even dignify it by using the word "plot!" As happy as I am that you did this recap, I'm sorry it was at the expense of a date :D
"For the first time the audience is right on board with Kim, since she manages to get El shirtless for a number of scenes." Absolutely! I'll give her credit for that :D
"You bet on the wrong horse, Grumps." Big time! Now, when is his sense of self-preservation going to kick in? Does he not see that Rod would kill him in a heartbeat to get his hands on the money?
"next time charm the pants off him" *snort* tofie!
David, one man's "yawn" is a passel of women's "yowza!"

I guess Nat and Diego aren't big fans of spy books/movies/TV shows or they'd have a whole code worked out.
"knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
twice on the pipe if the answer is no
oh my sweetness
means you'll meet me in the hallway
twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show"
