Que Pobres tan Ricos, #119, 20 June 2014. MA is transferred, AS is depressed, Perla is cover girl, and Lupe gets the last laugh/punch.
MA begs Top Cop to let Lupe and all family visit him. Top Cop says ok and leaves.
Lupe is ignoring Mini. Mini yells at the police receptionist that she is Minerva Fontanet, niece of so and so and demands to see Lic MARP. Lupe says she is Lupe Menchaca and wants to see him too. Receptionist is overwhelmed and just promises he will do what he can.
At Fonda, they all arrive. Very hungry Tizoc gets some killer stares. Frida asks how the trip went. AS whines and whines… she never thought she would say this but ‘finally we got home!’ But AS does not want to hear anything about MA. Not even Leo understands her attitude. Chuy gives her the benefit of the doubt and tells them she is more affected than it seems. Not everyone can express their feelings directly.
Gwendy with Nepo… he is deflated, she is trying to cheer him up. She offers him a ‘cure all’ shot… She brings a glass… he says he will need about chorros – hundreds of these to get over it. Gwendy is there for him. He says what he would like most is to cry… they are both already crying. Gwendy will accompany him in crying. He takes a shot glass in one swallow, then breaks down and cries. She says ‘go ahead get it out’.
The nurse is trying to read the paper. ‘check the Fonda, ‘al fondo’ (in the end… end of the hallway, end of the drawer… who knows). Nurse gives up in trying to figure it out.
Mini keeps nagging at Lupe, can’t believe MA fell so low. You even smell of frying fat. You are nothing but a ‘wild rose’. Lupe rebutes you are married to his cousin. Mini claims that marriage means nothing. She asks Lupe to admit that a man like ‘mi vi’ would never take a serious relationship with a ‘fritanguera’.
Nepo is napping on the couch with the bottle by his arm. Wakes up. Achis! Gwendy brings him some food (sandwiches). He needs Lupe to…. (Gwendy finishes his line… to love you!.) Gwendy asks him to get over it, if a woman doesn’t love you you have nothing to look for. Diego comes in at that time and Nepo is ready to beat him to a pulp, but Gwendy stops him. Nepo does not want to see DA anymore! DA is scared/shocked. DA tries to talk to him, but is decided to try the relationship with Leo, we are already ‘pareja’ ( a serious couple). Nepo believes it is a joke. Gwendy has to jump between them. She tries to get Nepo to listen, but to no avail. Diego again tries to talk to him, but all he gets is Nepo kicking him out. Gwendy offers her house to DA. Nepo won’t even let DA pack anything. And he kicks the two of them out. DA leaves, Gwendy leaves Nepo with one more food for thought ‘go on like this and you will end up more alone than the statue of independence.
Tizoc is trying hard to figure out how to tell Frida that A-hole took Mati. Frida still doesn’t take it well at all. He tells her that Mati herself asked them not to resist, that she would take care of it herself.
At office, Vilma is trying to get A-hole to relax, but A-hole is very anxious wanting MA to be buried in jail for many years. Vilma then gives him a massage…
Back to jail, Lupe keeps warning Mini ‘don’t look for me, because you won’t like it if you find me.’ A cop comes out and asks who is MA’s girl. The ladies both say ‘moi!’ Mini convinces the guy to take her. The receptionist is left behind with a Lupe who is ranting that ‘I am the girlfriend! What are you looking at??’
The cop announces to MA and Saul that Saul needs to leave because MA’s girl is here. MA gets happy saying Guadaluuuuuuuuuuuppeeeeeeeeee!! But then Mini comes in and says its her. MA rolls his eyes and his face away in disgust.
At Gwendy’s, she tries to cheer up DA. Leo runs over there. Gwendy had called him. Leo can’t understand Nepo’s attitude. Gwendy says sooner or later Nepo the brute will need to accept your relationship. Gwendy leaves. Leo tells DA he feels guilty. DA says it was my decision. I will have to go find a job starting tomorrow. The problem is all I know how to do is kick a ball.
Mini rants at Saul to leave already. Then Mini is trying to show some support to MA. But MA is direct with her ‘when they told me my girlfriend was coming to see me, I was not waiting for you, I wanted Guadalupe. The one I want to see is Guadalupe. ‘ Mini reminds him he ran away from her house. Mini tries to state again that she wants to help him get out of jail. MA says I did not quite believe you then, I surely don’t believe you now.’ She swears that NOW she DOES have good evidence in his favor.
Lupe calls Carmelita. Lupe tells her what happened, Carm says you just go park there until they let you see him. Lupe thanks her.
Back to jail cell. Mini keeps ranting then talks something about his Spanish genealogy… downgrading Lupe. MA won’t take that very long at all. He even wants her to take away her sushi. LOL! Mini gets desperate and wants him to put her to the test!! Put me to the test!! MA asks her if she knows anything about his grandma Mati… Mini tells him that A-hole came back to ‘my’ house and brought Mati along with him. MA asks Mini ‘if you really want to support me, please look after my grandma, make sure she is given the RIGHT medications and the RIGHT doses…’ Mini swears she will, even if it is the last thing she does. On her way out, Mini parades around Lupe again. ‘My vido, MA, sent you a message guess what, he does not need to see you or any of your food…’ Lupe has had enough and goes after her neck. Saul has to separate them. Mini leaves in a huff… Lupe rants, Saul reminds her that the worst that she can do now is have a rant attack there. Saul suggests she come back tomorrow. Lupe sends a message with Saul to MA ‘that she loves him un chorro (a lot)’. Saul has to repeat the message back to her until he gets it right ‘un chorro!’. (that was too funny, not un gorro, un burro, un jarro, un corro… un chorro!)
At penthouse, Leo is trying to console AS, is this about AS? AS says of course not, the issue is I can’t stand anymore the way we live! (the lack of luxury) this is not life!! Frida suggests to her to watch some movies. AS says that won’t help. Frida turns on the TV just in time for them all to watch a tv report that MA could get up to 20 yrs in jail. AS: Blood of Christ!! Drown me!! If I got the wedding to the condesa cancelled, this means HELL!!
Lupe explains to Emiliano that now that MA is going through some major trouble, you might see your mom a bit down and depressed… Lupe is headed to the jail tomorrow again to see him. But tomorrow afternoon we can spend the afternoon together. Are you up for it? Sure! Lupe wants to spend time with him now that he is on vacation. Lupe gets out of his room and then breaks down crying.
Mini at the house with Isela, she is ranting that she can’t believe MA traded her with someone like Lupe. Isela says Mati is almost gone (dead). Mini could care less (even though she promised MA otherwise). Isela tells Mini ‘I fear you!’
Next day, at Fonda, Carm tells Lupe go ahead and see MA in peace, I will take care of things here. Lupe tells her if you need me to cook tomorrow’s food just let me know. Carm says what worries her is that Lupe could be accused of hiding MA. Lupe is willing to walk/ride with MA, in the good and the bad.
Gwendy tells Perla that today they have several clients coming. DA comes down. Gwendy has to step in between Perla and DA. DA is leaving but he kisses Perla on the cheek. Perla asks Gwendy why DA is staying there. Gwendy refuses to tell and leaves her alone there. Keep an eye on everything.
At jail, Top Cop and another cop are handcuffing MA to take him to the ‘reclusorio’ (permanent jail). Saul tells MA that this means if A-hole advanced the date of the trial, the trial will happen sooner so you might go free sooner. But even Saul does not look so convinced, which does not help MA’s mood.
A-hole is at jail to face and play a script on MA ‘want to say goodbye to my cousin because surely I won’t get to see him for a long time. … surely you will rot in jail. Don’t worry about the evidence against me because I made sure that it will be useless for you… dear cousin’ (he gets a head butt from MA in return). MA tells the cops don’t worry, that is how my cousin and I greet each other usually. As they walk to the van, Lupe comes to see him, but they only get a few seconds to talk and say they love each other before the van doors are slammed on their face. MA has a very concerned/deflated expression. Lupe is very scared and upset. Saul comes out. Lupe is really upset, tells him that they did not let them talk at all. Where are they taking him?? Saul says they are taking him to the reclusorio. Lupe asks Saul to find out what are the visiting hours at the reclusorio. Saul asks her not to go, at least not this quickly. Trust me. She asks so I can’t see him?? Saul promises she will be able to see him very soon. Don’t get desperate. Lupe says ok, as long as I can see him out of there as soon as possible. You go see him! Saul leaves. Lupe is alone upset when A-hole and Vilma come out. A-hole asks Lupe why she is so sad.
Gwendy finds the magazine with Perla Ivette in the cover. She is excited. She runs back to the beauty parlor and shows Perla, the clients and Carmelita the magazine. Gwendy tells Perla that now you can brag that you are ‘toda una modelo’…
At Penthouse, Chuy and Frida visit AS and Leo… Chuy suggests to AS that MA needs her to be strong and healthy. AS is more down than a basement. Frida thanks Chuy for thinking of AS. Leo has to leave. Asks Chuy if he can stay and look after his mom. Leo will go out to look for a job. Chuy is happy for him. AS can’t believe Leo, the promise of art and culture, will go work like a simple burocratic farmer. Leo says yes, that way I can get some dineruki. Leo leaves. AS says this is a signal that us the RPs can’t fall lower than we are. One son in prison, another one wanting a salary job, and one (Frida)… this is a signal of the apocalipsic. Chuy tries to cheer her up. AS keeps whining. We have to be realistic, MA will spend many years in prison. Chuy says the last thing we lose is the hope. AS says can’t even have money to buy some hope. Chuy says its not a matter of buying. It is a matter of justice winning in the end. AS insists in depre… Chuy says too bad you see it that way. All I can say is keep up hope. Chuy leaves. AS tells Frida they need to forget about ever going back to their previous life. The curse has fallen on their family. Even her bambino Leo has gone out to look for a job.
A-hole asks Lupe if she came to see his cousin. A-hole says only the verdulero Nepo could believe that there could be any relationship between MA and Lupe. A-hole drops themask… I know that between MA and you there is much more than I could have ever imagine.
Lupe asks A-hole what did you expect? A-hole suddenly remembers Vilma is there and wants her to go. Vilma will head to the car. A-hole tells Lupe ‘you are too much of a woman for him! I can’t believe you fell in the claws of MA! But he is a pro… did you know that MA dropped Mini? But you don’t know they are still lovers..’ Lupe says I know that the lying one is you! A-hole claims if MA was not guilty, he would not have hidden for months. Lupe still won’t believe him. A-hole insists she is totally deceived by MA. Lupe calls him a cynic. A-hole says if MA did not get between us, you and I would be married. Lupe announces to him that she loves MA and MA loves her. A-hole tells her she will soon realize her mistake. You fell in his claws. Lupe then drops the bomb. I know very well why you want to marry me. You want to fulfill the clause of your granddad’s will. And you can’t have another kid. I got news for you. It ain’t happenin’!!! A-hole is floored (end of ep)
Leo is at some gallery/house of culture… he wants to give classes here. (wow! Have not seen this actress since Maria Isabel!) Leo asks who his students will be. She says ‘people from La Nopalera!’ Leo asks if they are semi-educated… he seems to get a bit depressed when she repeats it is ‘people from La Nopalera!’.
Previews: A-hole talks to Vilma, that they don’t have to wait for MA to get out of jail. They can make sure MA won’t ever get out of jail (we can get rid of him).

Gwendy is there for him. He says what he would like most is to cry… they are both already crying. Gwendy will accompany him in crying. He takes a shot glass in one swallow, then breaks down and cries. She says ‘go ahead get it out’.

Thank you, Marta, for your fantastic recap!
Interesting:
The nurse not being able to read Mati's note, ripped it up and threw it out.
Nepo waking up from alcohol induced nap saying to Güendy; don't tell me something happened between you and me again.
Tizoc being all pissy and blaming Frida for his loss in the contest because she wasn 't there and could she have not waited to go to help MA until after he had sung. So glad she put him in his place. Then of course he downplays what he said.
Leo coming over to Güendy's "rápido y furioso como un tsunami" ( quick and furious like a tsunami) when he found out Diego was now staying there.
AS claiming that if the failed marriage to Macarena was their "muerte social" (social death ) then the MA situation was their "entierro" (burial).
Isela telling Minerva that Minerva was becoming more evil than she was and that thought, even if it were a lot to say, she frightened her. I loved the colors of their "facials".
MA managing to step on Vilma on the way out as she was down on the floor trying to help out the head-butted Alejo.
Leonardo so eager to start working. Hey, he'll get to be onstage so to speak: one of the great advantages of teaching! : )
Perla's magazine cover: I hope this does not make Perla feel indebted to Alejo or make her want to,please him in order to get more modeling opportunities.
All in all it was quite enjoyable as compared to to nightmare yesterday's was.

One last thing: Minerva's insult. She says since MA is part Spanish he probably likes the "natives". She then calls Lupita "la Malinche de la Nopalera." La Malinche was a Native American who after Cortez arrived in 1519 was given to him as a slave and who became his interpreter and mistress. She gave birth to his first son --one of the first mestizos. Feelings about Malinche have always been mixed to put it mildly.

Thanks Marta, I hate it when comedies take a serious turn, but I know it's necessary.
And thanks Jarifa, I always look forward to your comments. They are so informative and you remind me of the great parts that I forget happened.
When AS was whining about her life, she told Don Chuy that she had no hope because she had no money to buy justice, that that is the way life works. Even though Chuy disagreed with her, I had to agree with her to a great extent. That is how it works in this country too most often when one is up against someone with a lot of money.
I was really mad at the nurse for ripping up that paper that was in Mati's purse. And Minnie being unconcerned about her promise to take care of her makes for a bad situation for Mati. We have more than 40 episodes to go before everything gets resolved.

The recap was great, Marta. I'm so angry at the nurse and worried for Mati. Probably more worried for Mati than for MA.
No telling what will happen for Perla now that she's a cover girl. I was happy to see MA stand up to Mini and tell her to get lost. The facial conversation scene was another chunk of superb comedy from the mother-daughter duo.

Marta:
Thanks so very much for this most splendid recap! I always like the little details you put in.
I had to laugh at Leo at the Culture Center, finding out he was going to be teaching classes to people from La Nopalera. That lady also told him to limit his "English phrases" cause the people there wouldn't understand. I'm thinking maybe he can teach them some English slang, that would be a hoot.
I am so glad that DA is now living with Guendy. At the beginning of this TN I thought she was just full of fluff, but now I really like her, she always takes care of those that really need it.
A pox on Nepo. He really needs a good kick in the pants. Guendy is the voice of reason and he should listen to her. If that fight had happened, I think DA could have kicked Nepo down.
Poor Dona Mati, I just knew Mini wasn't gonna help MA with her, but now Isela might. I get the feeling Isela isn't liking what is going on with Mati, and maybe she will be the one to help her.
I too liked MA telling Mini off. Good for him. She is so obsessed. It's too bad Lupe wasn't able to see MA.
AS needs to get over herself. Don C has been more than kind to her, and I like how he is supporting Frida and Leo. He even had Leo help unload the microbus, amazing!
The best parts of the epi, MA head butting Ahole, and Lupe telling Ahole she knows all about that Grandfather clause, yay!
I am glad Dinora ripped up that note. Otherwise Ahole would find some nefarious way to search the Fonda. I still want Mati to pretend to take the meds, or have Isela interfere and Mati escapes. I'd really like that. I can't stand to see Mati this way.
One last thought. I wonder if they put MA in the same place that Bambi is. Hmmmmm......that would be quite interesting!
Thanks so very much for this most splendid recap! I always like the little details you put in.
I had to laugh at Leo at the Culture Center, finding out he was going to be teaching classes to people from La Nopalera. That lady also told him to limit his "English phrases" cause the people there wouldn't understand. I'm thinking maybe he can teach them some English slang, that would be a hoot.
I am so glad that DA is now living with Guendy. At the beginning of this TN I thought she was just full of fluff, but now I really like her, she always takes care of those that really need it.
A pox on Nepo. He really needs a good kick in the pants. Guendy is the voice of reason and he should listen to her. If that fight had happened, I think DA could have kicked Nepo down.

Thanks so much for the little bits in your comments and also about La Malinche. It's always good to learn things like that. Thank you so much.

Hi all,
Sorry for the delay in commenting about yesterday's episode. This page where we enter the comment is blocked at work and sometime I just don't get to a computer after hours. Epi 118 was a roller coaster ride that really set me off, so I have lots to say. Sorry for the long post (or posts if my remarks don't fit in one comment section.
This episode had to have been of the most uncomfortable episodes that I have watch in any telenovela!
Where to begin?
Miguel Angel being completely powerless to do anything to help his grandma. It seems that his arrest was the milestone or turning point in this story. Now everything is against our intrepid heroes. Grandma Mati has fallen into the clutches of that dastardly fiend.
Ana Sofia, oh my Gawd! Option A: She gets konked on the head and completely forgets who she is and turns into a human being. Option B: She gets kidnapped by extraterrestrials who then swap out her brain with that of a chimpanzee, turning her into this caring and loving person. Option C: She gets put into a transporter pod with a fly and spends the rest of her life yelling in a tiny voice “Help me!”. At present she has turned into this unbearable drunk that will do anything to get her elixir without any courtesy or regards for anyone else. Her greatest worry when she found out Miguel Angel had been arrested was “Oh the scandal!”
Nepo: He deserves to have plantains shoved up his schnoz. He deserves his exile from the Menchacas. If there is a road to redemption for Nepo, I am beginning to lose sight of it. His betrayal crossed so many lines I can’t begin to count! I wanted to see Lupita give him a wrestler lock and then pound him with a chair. She was far too civilized. I wanted to see him locked up in a room with Ana Sofia.
Alejo. The monster! Even if this novella is meant to be light hearted Alejo has shown that his evilness knows no bounds. We have seen him effortlessly shoot some one and now he has our dear Meemaw Mati under his control, ready to drive her mad so that he can keep all of the Ruizpalacios empire. I had such a hard time seeing him yesterday. I shared Mati’s facial expression when he came near her. Her disgust was clearly evident just by looking at her. I want some one to pull out Alejo’s teeth then his fingernails. Then I want him locked up in a room with ravenous hyenas.
Vilma. She was tolerable up to now. After all, she was blinded by the light, or in this case, by the idiot. But for her to go along and actively participate in the Mati Horror is unacceptable. She deserves to get a dose of her own medicine, locked up in a looney house in a room plastered with pictures of Alejo that she can mindlessly stare at all day. I actually had hope for her, maybe pairing her with Saul. But after this episode I lost all hope. She is just an elitist low life with no respect for others or herself that blindly follows Alejo’s every whim and puts up with his never ending verbal abuse. As the Queen would say, “Off with herhead!”.
To be continued...

Minerva. Zero. Equis y asi. A total nothing. She deserves whatever Alejo has in store for her. She deserves to be living on the street with her mommy dearest being torn inside out by her rage from being in the ruin and seeing her “vido” living Happily Ever After with his True Love, the frycook.
Our heroes
DaVinci. Bless his little canine heart for sticking with Ana Sofia, enduring her drunkenness, the humiliating matching outfits and Ana Sofia in general. Any other less noble dog would have bitten her and ran off with a French poodle. I love the chemistry that he has with her.
Grandma Mati. Sigh. I want her to be my Meemaw! But why, why didn’t she stand up to Alejo? I was screaming at the TV, “Grandma Mati, fight, fight, you are loved, you have family, you are not alone, fight, fight, do not go gentle with that horrible fright.”. I wanted her to tell the cops that she was accusing Alejo of kidnapping and making her sick. In fact, the analysis that Miguel Angel ordered on the pills that Mati snuck out just vanished in the novella. I hope this comes up again. And what is on that paper she wrote? We all want to know! Perhaps today’s will shed some light on this mysterious document.
Frida. She is young and has a long way to go, but I love the heart that she has. Knowing the Menchacas was probably her salvation and the beginning of her journey of self discovery and worth. Given only her mother, Frida would have probably ended up being an airhead with senseless and empty causes to take up time in a worthless life.
Lupita. For loving a total goofball jetsetter who is slowly but surely becoming worthy of her love. I really love this relationship and how it is evolving. I see this relationship as the heart of the strength of the two families.
But not all hope is lost. While I saw this as being the most horrific episode thus far I also saw the valor, strength and unity that it showed. This is Grandma Mati’s darkest hour, but this time around she is no longer alone. As much as I found it hard to watch this episode, I also thought is it was one of the most thought provoking and emotionally drenching. It clearly set the pace for what is to come. At this point we are at the Empire Strikes Back phase. I can’t wait till the Return of the Ruizpalacios.

Salvador:
I really liked both of your comments : )
Especially the Nepo one. What is it with this guy? No wonder his wife left him. I hope she shows up before this TN ends, so we can find out about her.
Out of everyone to help Mati right now, it would have to be Isela and on the sly. We know Mini isn't going to do it, and since Isela didn't like what she saw, I'm betting on her. Well, let's say I'm crossing my fingers that she's the one that will.

I'm just about to go watch this episode. What a humdinger! Thanks for the exciting recap.
It kind of makes sense that Isela might look out for Mati because she is always having to remind Mini that she needs to include Isa, they come as a set. She is afraid of being left out of her younger gold digging daughter's care.
But what about Emi? How can Ahole continue his courtship of Emiliano while drugging Emi's beloved Abue? I've been fantasizing Emiliano's redemption through the rescue of Mati. I'll just have to wait and see...

Oh the look on Ahole's face at the end! He thought he was manipulating Lupe and he got caught.
Now he is really desperate...
Don Chuy is such a great father figure, now taking care of Frida and Leo too. So we get the bitter and the sweet.

I tought the worst when the nurse found Mati's note, tinking that it wouldbe another win for Alejo. I didn't like it when she tore up the note, but I agree with the poster who mentioned that at least Alejo the Hun would not get his clutches on it.
Mini knows no bounds of disrespect and arrogance, blatantly claiming to be MA's girlfriend in front of Lupe.
But as they say everything that goes around comes around.

Madelaine, great recap of an unhappy episode indeed. Thanks for all your work. I think I find A-holé's hateful treatment of Mati the most disturbing but just load some more poison pies onto the cart, our time will come...
Excellent recap, Marta!
Can't wait to watch and see Alejo's face when Lupe lets him know that she knows what he's up to, and why.
I hope you are all right that Isela will help Mati. That storyline disturbs me so much. Both Alejo and Vilma deserve the hottest circle in hell for what they are doing to that sweet lady.

I haven't been able to comment recently but I'm caught up now and hope to stay that way. Julie, Jane, Ezra, Madelaine and Marta---I appreciate and enjoy every recap and have missed nary a one. Thanks!
Acapulco was a lot of fun though I did worry about DaVinci and heat stroke. The Leo and Diego scenes were the best. I also laughed as AS tried to drunkenly cozy up to her old school flame and then his young sweetie showed up. AS robbing the mini bar was inspired. She is incorrigible.
I liked Guendy telling Nepo that he should be so lucky to have a repeat of their previous night of passion.
I would like to see Isela help Mati but I've been disappointed with this duo before (remember some of us hoped that Mini would make her gig as a top executive a roaring success). I think Isela said Mini scared her because she could see the future and how Isela might be treated if infirm.
Doesn't the cultural center check out any credentials? Despite the low pay, Leo was pretty lucky to just waltz in and get a job.
I wanted Lupe to insist that the police should check with MA who was really his novia.
Madelaine, I was relieved as well that the nurse ripped up Mati's note. Otherwise, it would be one more thing for me to worry about!
Are we supposed to believe that AS is really internalizing all her emotional upheaval about MA's arrest and her rude and snooty attitude is all a protective facade? I thought that was what Don Chuy was hinting at but I think he is way too kind. I also loved how he sent Leo out to help Tizoc unload the bus just like another one of his kids.
Salvador, I agree that it seems unlikely Vilma will be able to redeem herself after her willing help in the "Mati Horror".

Jarifa, thanks so much for all the details I missed, like Nepo's line to gwendy, Leo running to Gwendy's when he found out DA was there and MA stepping on Vilma, I totally missed that, must have been really tired.
And thanks for the info on La Malinche.
cathyx, i have to agree on your comment. as much as we want other people to be fair and square, some don't resist the chance of living it up in $$ and then it stops being fair game for the rest. That is the advantage of having $.
Mads, totally agree about Gwendy at first being shallow and going after MA, but now she is turning into a great friend and support for many of the good guys.
MA and Bambi together, interesting!
I too loved how MA told Mini off and then Lupe shoved her off...
Isela helping Mati out... very good theory... and once again off drugs, Mati can spy for MA and help him out by remembering where she put those docs...
Speaking of Mati, A-hole ignores some very important detail, IMO, that when Emi finds out he has been hurting or harming Mati, Emi will not like that, eh has been building a great bond with 'abue'.
Salvador, i totally agree with all your 'what if' for all the characters, especially Nepo and I totally agree with this:
Lupita. For loving a total goofball jetsetter who is slowly but surely becoming worthy of her love. I really love this relationship and how it is evolving. I see this relationship as the heart of the strength of the two families.
And speaking of Who ends up helping MAti... how about Emiliano himself? Alejo seems to continue to want Emiliano to come to his house, the same house where Mati is in, so maybe Emiliano will find out what is going on and figure out a way to help Mati lose the meds, maybe change the pills for some vitamin or stte. Mati, once in full use of her head, can do the rest, esp with his help.
Speaking of rapido y furioso, did anyone else notice that the top front of the bus where they went to the beach said that? 'Rapido y furioso' LOL!! i had forgot to mention that.

Loved hearing about the "rápido and furioso" on the bus. I never saw that. These episodes are really packed with so much good wordplay and fun.
