La Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 184. 07/29/14.
Pedro has the gun pointed at himself as EZ and I are yelling for him to shoot himself. Hurry up before the navy rushes in and arrest you. Now shoot! It looks like Pedro is about to pull the trigger but instead points the gun at a surprised EZ. You are here because I have decided it this way says Pedro. I wanted the pleasure to end your miserable pathetic life. Pedro pulls the trigger but unfortunately there are no bullets. EZ laughs and says you fell in my game. The plan is to turn you in alive so the navy can find Rosario and you can rot in prison for the rest of your life you miserable swine! Pedro rushes EZ and throws him up against the wall, throws insults at him and pistol whips him. The navy rush in but Pedro is long gone. The boys ask EZ were Pedro is and if he said anything about Rosario. Nothing replies EZ.
Outside a badly wigged Maria is waiting in a car and in hops Pedro. They speed off.
Amelia and Virginia sit down for a heart to heart chat. Amelia is angry that Virginia keeps questioning her decision to marry Pedro and send her away. Virginia believes Amelia sent her away to enjoy her marriage to Pedro and keep her from pestering them. Amelia admits the only reason she married Pedro was to find proof of his bad dealings. He never touched her or shared a bed with her. Virginia isn't buying her story. Amelia grows more frustrated and says there is just no talking to her. Virginia says she really needed her. She lost her father, sister and then her. Amelia says she did it all to protect her. She loves, missed and needs her. They are together now and nothing will separate them again. She wants her to find someone to love and form a family. She wants grand kids. Virginia says she met a man at Esme's house. His name is Eric. I don't think he is interested in Esme since he's a younger. I believe I caught his eye.
I think not. Eric tells Esme that he really likes her. Esme doesn't think it's a good idea. He's a bit young for her and she has a kid. Eric doesn’t care about that. When he dreamed of the perfect woman, she would be authentic, happy and love life. She wouldn’t care what others thought. And now I have found you. He makes his move and kisses her. (something tells me her husband is not going to like this).
Macario wonders what the heck is Kevin doing behind the cash register? He doesn't think it's a good idea and tells him to run along. Dominga can't believe how Macario is treating his son. He is smarter and a better worker then you are. She continues scolding him as Montse walks in wondering what's going on? Macario asks if they have any news on Rosario? Nothing yet replies Montse. Nosy Nadia wants to know why Macario and Dominga were arguing. Dominga complains about how Macario treats his son. What son asks the ladies. Dominga calls Kevin and introduces him to the ladies and gives a brief explanation on how he came to them.
Back at JL's office, he offers EZ a deal. If he leads him to Rosario, safe and sound, he will insure that EZ gets on a plane with a new identity. EZ would love to take him up on his offer but has no idea where Rosario is. JL wants to know what Pedro told him. EZ says he talked of when Efrain was chief of police. He's still angry with you for killing him in la Paso de la Viboda. A light bulb goes off in JL's head.
Dim and Refugio return to the office pissed that the operation did not go down as planned and Pedro escaped. Dim is determined to find out from EZ who is el Alacran.
JL informs Ale that Pedro did not tell EZ on Rosario's whereabouts. Ale is sure that Pedro will kill Rosario. JL voices his suspicions that she could be near la Paso de la Viboda. Ale tries to rush out but JL stops him. You can't go alone, I will go with you.
EZ tries chatting up Policeman Suarez. The policeman gets a call and suddenly EZ realizes that Suarez works for Pedro. Suarez hands the phone over and EZ asks what Pedro wants. Pedro says that he wants to squash him like a bug. No matter where he runs, he will find him. I want you to always wonder if those around you are in my pocket. EZ begs for something to do so that he can be released. He offers to kill Ale. Pedro wants to do that himself. He suggests EZ kill JL if he can. Then if he succeeds, he will consider letting him off the hook.
Maria tells Pedro that she doesn’t think EZ could do it. He disagrees. Maria asks how much longer he will be hiding at her place. No a second more replies Pedro. This place is unsafe. And where will you go? That's none of your business. She wants a favor but he tells her in due time. You know what to do. He leaves.
JL and Ale walk back into his office and tell EZ they will be going to la Paso de la Vibora. EZ tells them to be careful. They don’t want Pedro’s men to see them. JL tells him not to tell him how to do his job. EZ reminds him that he once was chief of police. Ale says that EZ will be going with them. EZ declines the kind offer, but JL says if they have to negotiate with Pedro he will be exchanged for her. EZ can't believe they would do that. JL assures him that he will be protected. EZ wants a gun for protection. JL tells him to behave or the gun will be taken away.
Montse is eating chips or half a chip again and wants to get to know Kevin better. She is happy that he has come into Macario's and Dominga's life. They have longed for a child. She loves them greatly and considers them a part of her family. And now she will consider him like a nephew. She wonders how he's fairing with the couple. He tells her things are great with Dominga but not so much with Macario. She offers him some advice on how to get closer to him. She then talks about her father and how great her relationship was with him.
Victoria and Lauro talk about Rosario. Maria comes up.
Montse and Nadia talk about Kevin. Montse wishes that Rosario was around. Ale called her and said they were going to look for her at a place around the hacienda. He also thinks that it was Pedro who took her there. Nadia says they will find her. Montse is scared. If anything happened to Rosario....Up walks up Esme with baby and Eric in tow. She introduces Eric to the ladies. She tells the ladies that he is a great singer and he says he sang the other day and would like to do the same. Of course replies Montse so he starts up.
Lauro says he's not allowed to talk to strangers. Maria ignores his comment and says she's known his dad since they were kids. Maria looks to Victoria and asks if she is the daughter of Pedro Medina. Victoria says that man is not her father. Maria tells them that she and Ale would play as kids, ride horses, swim in the river and they fell in love. Lauro pushes Victoria behind him and says it's not true. My dad only loves my mom. Maria says he should have been hers. I would have done anything if you were born from me. Victor runs up and asks what she is doing there. Nothing replies Maria. I came to meet Ale's son. She tells Laurito to give him a kiss from her and that they will be getting together soon. Nice to meet you Victoria she throws out.
Ale, EZ and JL are sneaking up on the supposed house where Pedro has Rosario hidden. JL reminds Ale that this is the location that he once saved his life. EZ believes that Ale's mother is here. Ale grabs EZ by the collar and says you better hope she is. EZ points his gun at Ale's belly and says to let him go. JL points his gun at EZ's head and demands the gun back He tells Ale to control himself. EZ wants the gun back but JL says it ain't going to happen. JL wants to separate to find Rosario and Ale agrees. EZ goes with JL.
Rosario is praying when she hears a gunshot. Ale rushes in. He only injured the guy outside and wants to make sure that no one else is coming. He goes back outside again.
Pedro pays a lovely visit to his ex-wife. I know how much you have missed me and now I am back with you again. She tries to hide her fear and repulsion. He kisses her. What do you think? I'm just surprised replies Amelia. I hope what you told me last time was not a lie replies Pedro. If you are not at my side, idiot, I will have to destroy you. She kisses him and tries to reassure him that she is at his side. I have missed you so much.
The door opens and Rosario calls out Ale's name only to turn around and find la loca Maria.
Outside, EZ tells JL that he hopes that once they find Rosario he will honor his word and let him go. I'm not like you replies JL. I am a man of my word. Footsteps are heard which spooks EZ. He asks JL to be quiet and demands his gun back. JL wants to know what he promised Pedro in exchange for his freedom. I'll tell you when the time comes replies EZ. JL turns around when he hears a sound and EZ takes the opportunity to kick him and take the gun from him. He makes him kneel down and points the gun to his head. He says drop your gun and turn around. Look me in the eyes. Do you want to know what I promised Pedro in exchange for my freedom? To kill you. He smiles his evil smile and looks up. A shot is fired and EZ is hit in the heart. He goes down. It was Ale who saved JL's life and makes a point of saying this.
Maria tells Rosario to stay calm. Nothing will happen to her or Ale while she is around. Perhaps JL is dead. I followed them all the way out here. I wanted to help Ale in everything. I don't care in risking my life to save yours. I know how much you mean to your son. And where is Montse? Sitting down calmly, waiting for news. She will never love your son like I do. I hope you finally will begin to realize that. Rosario tells her not to get any closer as Maria starts walking towards her. Maria wants to know how her son could accept Montse after she became pregnant by JL? Ale loves that child as if she were his own says Rosario. It's not his and I don't understand replies Maria. Everyday that child is a reminder of how that slut slept with JL. Open your eyes! Your son can't be happy with Montse, not as long as that child is alive. You don't know my son yells Rosario. Of course I do shouts Maria and better than anyone! Soon, no one and nothing will separate me from him. A man with a gun comes up from behind Rosario and Maria sees this. She pulls out her gun and fires. She shoots the bad guy. Maria says that guy was going to kill you. Explain to your son what was just about to happen. Tell him thanks to me, you are okay.
Ale picks up EZ's gun and tells JL they need to go before Pedro's men find them. He found his mother and he needs to go get her. JL thanks Ale for saving his life.
Ale and JL come get Rosario and Ale wonders what happened.
Laurito wants to call his father. Victor assures him his dad will be back shortly. Nadia sends the kids off to change into pj's. Montse is anxious for news. Vic wants to tell the ladies what happened earlier today at school. He says when he arrived, Maria was talking to the kids.
Amelia is giving Pedro a massage. She comments that he is too tense. Of course says Pedro. I have the navy and the police after me. She says she was hurt in hearing about the shooting. He calls her an idiot. How do you think it hurt more? I was the one that got shot. Who helped you escape asks Amelia. Pedro tells her it's none of her business. He needs a place to hide out. She says her place is not secure but he can stay the night. She offers him her hacienda as a hide-out. He asks if she will go with him. He needs someone to cook for him and take care of him. Of course replies Amelia. This will make me just as happy as when we were married. She starts kissing him when she spots Virginia walking in. She gestures for her to leave which she does quietly. His phone rings and Amelia asks him what happened. He tells her not to be so noisy. She offers to make him some dinner.
Josefina tells Adolfo how bad she feels for Carlota. He tells her not to worry so much. You will see how Carlota will pick up the pieces and carry on. Josefina doesn't think it's that easy. She fell in love with a man who she admired, thought was wonderful and honest. Suddenly she finds out that she was married to a criminal. An assassin. The man she loved who's hands where stained with blood. Who knows how many people he has killed. Adolfo doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't like to see her sad.
Dim wants to know where they took EZ. He is anxious to talk to him. Refugio tells him to take a chill pill and drink his beer. JL knows what he's doing. Doorbell rings and it's JL. Dim greets him sarcastically and wants to know if he wants coffee. Dim wants to know why JL did not talk to him. JL says for your information, Ale and I were looking for Rosario and found her. Refugio wants to know if Ale is find. Everyone is fine replies JL. Dim wants to know where EZ is. He needs to talk to him. Dead replies JL. Dim can't believe it and starts throwing furniture. JL promises they will find el Alacran.
Rosario is safe and sound in the arms of her family. Montse thanks Ale for bringing Rosario back. Ale acknowledges that this wouldn't have happened without JL's help. EZ was about to kill him. Is he hurt asks Montse? No says Ale. Montse is glad everyone is okay. Laurito runs into Rosario's arms.
Manana: Maria goes after Montse again.

How could Pedro so easily escape with María?
Given the craziness going on in Aguazul, why were Laurito and Victoria left alone where a crazy like BM could accost them?
Once found, why would Ale leave doña Rosario in the same place Pedro or one of his minions had placed her still leaving her life at risk while he went to see if it were safe for her to leave?????
At least now JL and Ale are "even Steven" : ) since Ale saved JL's life even in the same place.
Pedro kissing Amelia was so disgusting and noisy.
Well, one more down; still BM, Adolfito, Pedro and Graciela to go. Probably JL, too.

Thanks so much for this quick and awesome recap!
I am soooo glad JL is becoming more like his old self. I have to say, I was glad of the teaming up of JL and Ale. They do great work together!
I felt bad for Dimi when he found out that EZ was dead. Dimi is so frustrated. He wants El Alacran so bad.
Foreshadowing with Addled and Fina. She won't take it well, if she ever finds out about Addled. I feel so bad for her.
I too wonder how Peddy is able to walk all over town with no one seeing him. He's like a wraith. The man not only has no avocadoes he has no guts either. I really hope Amelia turns his butt in now. Peddy's anvil is past due!
I am so glad Rosy is okay. I'm surprised BM saved her life. What is up with that? Oh, and too bad that Gaudy wasn't around when Rosy walked in and Laurito was holding on to Rosy for dear life.
So there is a mole on JL's police force. I hope he finds this out sooner rather than later.
I'm glad Monse accepted Kevin and gave him great advice. Mac needs to wake up and stop shutting the boy out.
What happened to Esme? Where is the love for Refug? I know they don't agree right now, but for pity's sake, work it out. Eric is okay, but not for Esme. I can see him with Virgina. I too hope Virgina goes and stays with Fina so Peddy doesn't know she is around.
Oh, I don't believe Loreto is alive either. He is long ago dead. No way JL missed that shot the guy is dead. I think Peddy is just yearning for the good ole days when everyone worked for him and did what he commanded them to do. Now he's in a mess and vows venganza on everyone.
Thanks again Gloria for this most awesome recap.
Im glad EZ is now dead so he wont cause more issues after Pedro is gone.I disliked Pedro and Amelia kissing,eww ,hopefully Amelia puts some delicious anthrax on his beloved steaks! Seriusly dont they have some rat poison in the house? BM proves us again she is Batshit Mad but atleast she did something "noble" for once in her miserable life:)..
And how are the villagers not reporting the suspicious black cars hmmmm? Pedro doesnt even need the Cloak of Invisibility because the villagers are inherently stupid,they are like "Hear no evil,see no evil,speak no evil" !
Thanks for the recap. It was very detailed and fun. Thanks for all of your hard work.
I too wonder how Peddy is able to go all over town unnoticed. But it's a novella, and we're in ultimas semanas, so I'm just going with it.
I almost thought that EZ was going to kill JL. I thought, this is it, JL is going to die trying to help Ale rescue his mother. The writers had me. I was not expecting EZ to die, and certainly not by Ale. That caught me by surprise. I wonder how Carlota will react when she finds out that it was Ale who shot and killed EZ.
BM is not fooling me. There is no way she was trying to help Rosy. It was all a set up to try to get Rosy to trust her. I hope Rosy and Ale don't fall for it.
Peddy kissing Amelia was gross. And he kept doing it. I had to turn away every time he went in for a kiss. I hope Amelia takes care of herself. I fear for her well-being, especially now that Virginia knows the truth.
BM should no have been able to get to the kids. That was scary. I thought she was going to kidnap them. Come to think of it, she attempted to kidnap Laurito when he was a baby. Stay away from those kids BM!
Must sleep!
Off to bed...hasta pronto!
Good work, Gloria.
Maria wasn't there to save Rosario; killing Pedro's henchman wasn't in her script. Her plan could have been to kill Rosario and frame Pedro for the crime. That would have forced a show-down between Alejandro and Pedro with a very unpredictable outcome. If Alejandro killed Pedro in self-defense, well and good because Maria wouldn't have to fear Pedro anymore. With what she knew of the state of his relationship with MDA, she might expect that MDA would arrest Alejandro and throw him in the slammer for the rest of his life. That takes Alejandro away from Monserrat.
Whom she still wants to kill.
Nobody has forgotten that Maria once tried to kidnap Lauro when he was a baby. It's just that they have now underestimated her crazy.
The smart thing for the moment would be for Monse and Nadia to stay together in a guarded place and homeschool their kids until Pedro and Maria are out of action. I am absolutely not a fan of homeschooling but this is a situation that temporarily justifies it.
Pedro can move around in the dark. Anyone who knows him will stay out of his way. He also doesn't go it alone; he has his goons with him. He also has a mole in the police department.
We also don't know how much dinero he has in offshore accounts to fund all this.
"a badly wigged Maria" and "Pedro pays a lovely visit to his ex-wife" were among my favorites.
I found the JL/Ale scenes exciting and as we've lamented the past few days, wish this partnership had been formed sooner. Things with Pedro would never have gotten to the point that they have now.
Madelaine, the scene with Adolfo and Fina was sad and absolutely a foreshadowing as you already noted. Are the only 2 people (still alive) that know Adolfo's true identity Pedro and Maria? If so, the secret may die with them (I am assuming they die, but that's speculation only).
I know Adolfo is a killer but I find myself staring thinking I've never seen such beautiful, full eyelashes on any man. So superficial of me I know. Guilty as charged.
Jarifa, your comments were spot on especially that Pedro's kising Amelia was "so disgusting and noisy". Sigh.
Now, I like Virginia who in spite of all her personal hardships I’m happy to see still has a healthy ego. But, “His name is Eric. I don't think he is interested in Esme since he's a younger. I believe I caught his eye”. Ummm, really? My recollection is that he could barely tear his eyes away from Esme to meet her. Let’s just say I totally concur with your “I think not”.
Madelaine, I don't think Esme will end up with Eric. I think she is flattered by his attention but I feel it was a kiss without too much emotion (at least on her part). As we are starting to see, Eric is already being noticed by others. :)
And Macario? “He is smarter and a better worker then you are”. Even your own wife is telling you that you are an idiot. Grow up and start being nice to your son (whom you should be thanking God for, he is so sweet).
Carlota already seems to be rebounding, taking care of the children. I know her spirit will carry her through. She will be shaken by EZ's death but it will be likely less upsetting than finding out who and what he really was.
UA, agree that Maria was certainly not there to save Rosario. I think (outside of her Ale obsession), the only person she cared about was Adolfo but she would now dispatch him in a minute if she needed to and not think twice.
Poor Amelia. Ack.
Gloria, thank you so much.
Diana
Many thanks for the excellent recap.
I am really ready for the conclusion of this madness. It does seem as if any thought of making this puppy realistic has flown out the window!
Speaking of realistic, Virginia has had zero growth in her absence. She was always imagining men were into her, and is still in the same zone. Really? Eric was into her? Poor baby.
Hasta luego!
Rebecca
I figured EZ would bite the dust in this TN, and since Carlota discovered he's scum, that pretty well sealed the deal that it was time to check him off the list.
As for Pedro, I'm with everyone in that all his escapes and ability to come in and out of places without nary a glance from anyone is becoming such a stupid plot ploy. So since Ale did in EZ and saved JL, that would be Ale's big moment to do in one of the crooks. So now I'm narrowing Pedro's executioners down to Adolfo or JL, either going out in a blaze of glory to do so.
And Adolfo still continues to lie to Fina and the danger is growing daily from Pedro. GRRRR.
The big question is who gets it in the crossfire. There always seems to be someone. Maria doesn't count. Totally expendable and at this point she has no purpose except to be psycho and help the bad guys.
What is it with Virginia? She always goes for someone who is interested in someone else, or really isn't into her. Feel rather sorry for her because honestly, this girl did need her mother. Amelia didn't have to stick around town and be the martyr marrying Pedro. They could have gone off to that lovely Aunt who never seemed to surface again. Sorry, Amelia. Your a great plot point, but I do think you did wrong by your daughter.
Daisynjay
I love how JL has transformed and going from a drunken fool calling his ex wife every filthy name in the book to helping ex-wife's husband rescue his mother.
The possibilities for JL are endless.
Fatima
If you have seen the ending of this TN it would be better if you don't speculate, because you could accidently give something away and that wouldn't be good. That's what I love about this Blog, absolutely no spoilers of any kind.
One bad guy down, how many to go?
Amelia really should have told Virginia what was up before now. Virginia needs to get out of that house right now, before Pedro and his goons use her to hurt Amelia. As for her love life, with or without Eric, who cares?! What's the point of throwing that storyline out there right now as all this crap is going down? In fact, as much as I love Alex Sirvent, I can't see the point of the character. Did another man really need to show up to show us that Esme and Refugio are done for good?
Fatima- As far as I'm concerned, this JL-- annoying and obsessed with Monse, but at heart an honorable guy, is the REAL JL. This is the JL we saw for most of the tn, until the writers decided he needed to become "a drunken fool calling his ex wife every filthy name in the book" in order to extend and stretch the plot.
How smart is JL figuring out the kidnap site all by himself?!
I hope Amelia is able to tip off JL to Pedro being in her house.
Well Maria shot Montse once...are we going to relive it a second time? I'm hoping Maria is taken out tonight.
Aguazul has to have the worst security of any city. No matter how many guards, they are easily bypassed, schools allow strangers access to walk up to children on their grounds, a sting usually has people covering the back but Pedro easily slips away. Annoying.
I so agree with your comment about JL, this is his real self as he always was before the writers starting writing him as stuck on stupid. I'm glad he's back and he continues to be this way.
Fatima:
I did like the way JL called Ale out on his mistake of kicking Monse out of the house when they were arguing about JL having kicked Rosy out of his home. Ale isn't pure as the driven snow either and as a matter of fact, Ale also called Monse every name in the book. JL and Ale are very alike in certain respects, just my humble opinion.
Carvivlie:
But, but Pedro had ordered BM to kill Rosy, that was supposed to be her mission. Maybe this is BM's way of trying, or should I say her endless trying of getting Ale, even though we all know that is never gonna work.
-Outside a badly wigged Maria is waiting in a car and in hops Pedro. They speed off.
-Nosy Nadia wants to know why Macario and Dominga were arguing.
-Montse is eating chips or half a chip again and wants to get to know Kevin better. (Yum Ruffles con queso!)
So glad Rosario made it out alive. I do beleive Maria was there to kill Rosario per Pedro's orders, but she led her to believe she was helping her, so that she could earn brownie points with Ale. She continues to be delusional, thinking that if she gets Montse out of the way, Ale will go back to her. Also she was saying some crazy things about Romi last night. I hope she isn't on her hit list too!
As for her just showing up at the school? Carvivlie, you are absolutely right. That school has no security whatsover! Anyone can just walk in. I would think that the school should have been notified about the threat Lauro and Victoria are in so they are on high alert. Maybe even have Uncle Dimi station some officers there to watch the kids until the danger blows over.
Also, does no one have peep holes on their doors in Aguazul? I'm fearing for Amelia. Hopefully she doesn't go with Pedro to the hacienda. There would be no one there to help her.
At least JL is regaining some of his sanity. If they could just put their differences aside, what a dynamic duo Ale and JL would be!
Maricruz
And you can't get back what you never had. Her Karmageddon can't be soon enough for me.
You are so right about Ale's kids. BM tried to kidnap little Laurito when he was a bebe, what exactly was she going to do with him? She would have gotten rid of him. I can never see her with kids.
Luckily there are 12 episodes to go.
Ale is great!
I was wondering if Virginia thought Amelia was shooing her out so she could make out with Pedro. I got the impression that V didn’t believe A when A tried to explain her reasons for marrying him.
I don’t get the Eric being younger than Esme thing. To me he doesn’t look younger. He looks about the same age and older than Virgie.
I’m thinking Ref has to be injured to get Esme to admit she’s still in love with him and get them back together—if that’s what the writers intend. Maybe they intend on breaking them up for good.
Here's hoping JL is back for good.
Nanette
Next time you read this poster's speculation, ask them about it. Ask them to clarify in other words. This will hopefully put a stop to the spoiler and thank you for pointing this out.
EZ is dead but did you notice that after he was shot he fell into a nice, cushy bed of palm fronds? His hair was still perfect.
Romy
When I am ahead a few episodes I tend to be very restrained in my comments. If someone is delayed posting the lead article I usually say nothing until it's up. If I'm more than a single episode ahead I am never sure where the dividing lines are and don't want to risk saying more than I should.
What also frustrates me was that Maria ,an mentally unstable person was able to bypass guards in the previous episode and in the next ,she past through school security.. ( Can they even afford one?) Well i guess security( Funded by the President of Global Security,Arturo De La Riva!) in Aguazul is nonexistant as are Pedros avocados!
And you should totally register to join us in the fun even more:)
Monserrat and Nadia need to walk around with bodyguards. Maybe Dimitrio's whole regiment.
As for spoilers-- sometimes people really just do make good guesses about what's going to happen. But even if you are ahead in viewing, all comments aren't/don't have to be speculations about what is going to happen. Why can't a commenter stick to discussing how they feel about a character or a plot point, etc? Comments that don't involve speculation about what's to come.
Very good point. I do like discussing the characters and what could motivate them to do the things they do, as in what were the writers thinking, lol.
You are spot on about Peddy being Mayor and then Governador, every one knows that. I think there was breaking news on his death too.
Last night's capitulo was apoiled for me by the filler and the inanities. Does no one give a thought for security in the town of Aguazul????
How would you leave those children vulnerable to Pedro?
Only two more weeks of the
tonterias...
Best to all'

I'm glad EZ died, rat bastard. I'm angry at Adolfo, if he really loves Fina he needs to tell her she is in grave danger and get her the heck out!
Urban, a few weeks ago I was watching What Not To Wear o Netflix and they had this young lady on who had been home-schooled, she was so out of touch that right there and then I said "nope, never home schooling any kids of mine!" it was so sad, and I have lots of friends who were home-schooled for religious reasons and I truly believe their parents did them a disservice!
The poster I'm reffereing to, many episodes back made a comment along the lines of "the shows going to get really good. So don't miss it" (far from an exact quote). When my cousin and I read the post we figured the poster was probably watching the mexico episodes. I had been watching them, and had an idea what they were reffering to (I think it was shortly before Monica was murdered). Some time after that, around when these current episodes were airing in Mexico, that poster began to "speculate" on who helped Pedro escape from his home. The characters in the novela were at the time suspecting Jose Luis, and the poster began to post their suspicions of Jose Luis as well (even using one of the same reasons a character did). Having seen the Mexico aired episodes I found the timing interesting. As the episodes aired and the writers lead us down different suspicions, this commentors "speculation" also shifted focus to different characters (like maria), and their singling out Jose Luis subsided. On another post they "speculated" that Robledo was the one in the car explosion (the day before that episode aired). There was little to support that conclusion, just look at how surprised so many of the commentors were once the episode aired. That's the comment my cousin read and was spoiled to. She remembered that the commentor had before posted insinuating future knowledge. She asked me if the Robledo comment was true. I hadnt gotten to the recap/comments yet, so my surprise at the question gave away the answer. I told her to avoid any posts by that commentor whenever they could. It gets difficult though when you're absent mindedly scrolling through comments or when other comments reference that posters comments. I replied to the commentor about the Robledo post, but it was ignore by the poster. I think my comments were in part responsible for the spoiler warnings the following day.
I'll chime in about spoilers. A couple weeks prior to Fabiola's suicide episode I read the spoilers about it. That's when it aired in Mexico. I hadn't even been commenting here since Mentir Para Vivir ended so I knew even purposely trying to be stupid and break the rules wasn't an option. It wasn't until that episode and the episode following it aired that I commented and admitted that I knew. I did see when Urban mentioned deleting someone's post because of that spoiler. I have seen the finale but again I know the rules of this site. I'll admit I do think its hard NOT to look at the spoilers but for me I didn't actually sit through the whole finale when I found it so there's still things that happened that I don't know. All I'll say about it is that there's an alternate ending just like Teresa had two alternate endings.
Only once have I made a theory about another TN that was a spoiler. However, I do believe it made sense.
Anyway, RIP Eze. Kinda surprised Ale killed him, but I don't think JL's contributions to this TN are done yet. It's still early for his karmaggedon.
I guess I should've figured BM was helping Peddy (I didn't read that particular spoiler). She was creepy in this episode. First with the kids then with Rosario. I was practically yelling at my TV for Ale and JL to return to the cabin ASAP before she left, but oh well.
I still feel sorry for Adolfito, BUT sooner or later Fina will find out the truth.

Also---Montse is eating chips or half a chip. OH! chips, well everyone loves them and Montse is no different. But bikini season is upon us and so---just half a chip.
Fina's conversation with Adolfo about Carlota who fell in love and then later found out that she was married to a criminal--an assassin. OUCH! That was sad.
Anonymous 10:13 AM---Please don't ruin the show for us who don't know. No phony speculation, no red herrings, nothing. If you know, just stay quiet or talk about Aquazul the pretty little town by the sea. Thanks.

I'm a huge fan of Alex Sirvent and his singing but so far, I can't see why either are suddenly inflicted on us here at this late date. How very odd indeed... he shows up in town, goes to La Escondida a couple of times and suddenly determines that a married pole dancer with a child is the very one he has been waiting and searching for? Oh yes of course... makes perfect sense. And what are the folks at the pastry shop doing encouraging this ne'er do well? Where's Padre Anselmo? Surely he'd set them both (Eric and Esme) straight. Now of course if he is Pedro's long lost son (from before the tragic giblet loss)... then... never mind.
I have to admit, María even gave me the willies as she was chatting up the kidlets. SECURITY!

I am glad Ale took EZ out though. Good riddance. JL finally looked normal/back down to earth after Ale saved his life. I wonder if it will last. Meanwhile, Dimitrio looked like a madman throwing that chair like he did. Whoa! Scary!
Adolfo, Fina has now told you point blank how she feels about "businessmen" like you. So, now what? I think it is past time to do the right thing.
Maria is a hot mess as usual which should make tonight interesting. I was thinking last night that even the kids knew crazy when they saw it/her.
Pedro... Ick! Ugh! And I agree with others that it makes no sense for him to be wandering around so easily. He must have the whole county in his pocket.

Kudos to Alexis Ayala for his marvelous portrayal of this complex character. EZ's ambition to rise above his humble post as prison guard / cop and as well as his lust for the opposite sex ultimately doomed him.
At the beginning of the novela, I hardly noticed EZ. He was just the creepy little guy who wanted Esmeralda. After the other police chief died, EZ took off his guard cap, aligned himself with Pedro, and started climbing. It was an amazing but suspicious ascent. How can a lowly prison guard / cop become police chief without education or social standing? (Through drugs and murder and deals with the devil - Pedro). But EZ did what he had to to achieve his goals. In a way, he's not that different from Graciela / Gaudencia who also had to escape her common beginnings, no matter what.
With his easy charm, EZ succeeded in marrying Carlota Mendoza and finally attained the position he coveted. At this point, maybe he believed he was actually the person he fought to become: adored husband, upstanding political leader, and pragmatic business man who occasionally had to dirty his hands (kidnapping - but not killing -Padre Anselmo, covering up the murder of Mónica, and keeping María drugged) to protect his growing empire. In any case, he could justify every despicable act he committed and continue to lie to his naive wife.
She believed him - all the times he said that he adored her, that she was the reason why he achieved so much, that she was his "alma." How could she doubt him? She didn't have much experience with men (especially con artists like EZ); she had spent her entire life loving others (her aged parents, her brother, her niece and nephew). She sacrificed her youth to care for her family. Why should this caretaker expect anything less than to receive back all the love and care she had abundantly given to others?
Unfortunately, she got a lot less than insincerity. She got the horrifying knowledge that this man whom she believed and vowed to love was a murderer, a leader in the drug cartel and one of the people responsible for all the grief her family had endured during the last decade. She had adored a false image that he had created through his charming and deceitful words. He betrayed her in the worst way possible, exploiting her generous, loving nature for his own gain.
Well, Carlota, you're not alone. I honestly believed he loved you too. He never yelled at you, he kissed your hands, called you "Amor." I hoped that he would repent and tell you his secrets. Maybe you would've forgiven him. Maybe not. You didn't deserve what happened to you. But EZ was too deep in the muck of his lies, was too cowardly to risk his life for you. So he left, went back to the dark side where it all started, and was killed. He deserved that, of course.
But I still feel horrible about it because he was such a convincing, charming liar, and there were lots of days that I felt that the love between you two was real.
Now we're both wiser, and we won't fall for it again in the next telenovela!
My comment is very long, but I felt like I had to analyze EZ one more time.
I enjoyed your comment very much about EZ. I too was hoping it would go differently for him. I had hope he'd come clean to Carlota but I knew a long time ago it just wasn't going to happen. But I was shocked when he died. I too thought if anything, he'd just end up in prison.
Anyway, I enjoyed your analysis!
Thanks, Santi
