Que Pobres Tan Ricos #140: 7/22/14: Our D. I. V. O. R. C. E. Becomes Final Today!
Tizoc and Perla are up in the old RP Penthouse and Tizoc thinks this whole thingy of Frida being preggers is a false alarm. Perla says, yeah in your dreams. She also tells him about MA and Lupe maybe getting together. Tizoc isn't happy and neither is Perla, I wonder why???? Hmmmmm???????
Leo is talking to Diego and he tells Diego their relationship is too complicated, so it's friends, si? Deigo just got his heart broken. Boo, Hiss on Leo! Leo says his familia knows about him being gay, but not his friends and so this is why it's complicated. Deigo sadly goes away and Leo is OMGeeing cause he discovered his car is a hard top convertible. Oh, Please!!!!!
MA and Lupe did a quick smooch and he gives her directions to where Frida is, it's for Tizoc of course. Now MA wants another meet with Lupe when she has more time to dish. He wants to look in her eyes and see her smile, she finally agrees.
Isela and Mini are kevetching about Ahole keeping his end of the bargain, and Isela is pithed that AS now has the money back. Cause we all know what's gonna happen there, the Ladies Who Lunch, will be dissing Isela. Mini swears that "Guadalumpen" that's how it sounded to me, Lupe, will not be getting MA back.
Tizoc talks to his Daddy Chuy, and isn't liking this possible hook up with Lupe and MA, and we all know why! Don C thinks that Tizoc is a bit scared of MA cause of the "Frida Problem" and Don C wants Tizoc to get on the stick, so to speak, and find out if he and AS will be grandparents soon.
Nepo, Trofeo and MA are at the market and Carm comes by. MA mentioned something about potty training. Anyhoo, MA takes Carm aside and tells her all about his little chat with Lupe and the promise of another. Carm is happy this is working out.
Don C has a chat with Lupe now wanting to know all about MA, and he reminds her the whole familia is behind her to support her, and right on cue, here come Tizoc and Perla to push the Ahole Agenda! Don C wants a private chat with Lupe and they go off, with Tizoc and Perla listening at the door.
Emi, who is feeling entitled lately, gives his Daddy hell for not putting him in a new school like he promised and now considers his Daddy to be a liar! Ahole tells Emi to be patient. They hang up and Ahole says what a little monster this kid is, just like me!
Well Perla and Tizoc are listening at the door, and Ahole coached them well, cause Tizoc brings up Mini, remember what happened there! They have fallen into the room when Lupe catches them at the door! Lupe tries to tell the familia that Ahole and Mini are working together to seperate Lupe and MA from each other. She also points out to the familia, look what that Alcaran (Scoripion, learned that word on Robo) to Emi, meaning Ahole of course. Don C just doesn't want her crying over either one of them RPs. Don C also warns Perla and Tizoc that one day, Ahole will call in their markers, as in the debt they owe him, cause he is not a nice guy!
MA and Saul are at AS' and MA is signing some papers, when AS comes in needing what you ask??? Hmmmmmm???? More dinero of course and its for a good cause to boot.
Lupe goes to pick up a sullen Emi from school and asks him about that letter MA wrote to her, he denies doing anything with it.
Guendy is chisming with a local woman doing her hair, when Deigo comes in, very sad and crying, he'd like a chat with her. He goes upstairs and that lady tries to get the chisme but Guendy isn't talking. Guendy just knows that Deigo is upset over Leo.
Lupe and Emi are at the Fonda, outside when Mini shows up in her SUV and wants a chat with Lupe. Lupe sends Emi inside and gets into Mini's car. Mini wants to tell Lupe the truth about MA. Don't listen Lupe!
AS and MA are talking and AS is crying boo, hoo, about what a bad son MA is for putting her on a limit with her credit. I think we all know what happened, she went over her limit. She had mentioned a charity earlier and MA says oh, like in La Noperla for the children of Tibet? He knows that was a scam and he just knows this is too, and he goes laughing and she says, say it with me now, Porca Miseria!
Mini tells Lupe that she, Mini and MA have broken up and she wants Lupe to listen. Mini claims she was a victim of MA just as Lupe was. Mini tells Lupe that MA used her only to get info on Ahole. MA is incapable of loving anyone. He told Mini he loved her, but he lied, and Mini cries for good measure. Lupe isn't beleiving her. I think Mini says that MA bad mouthed Lupe to Mini and Mini is very glad that Lupe listened to her. Mini doesn't want Lupe to end up the way Mini did. When Lupe leaves, Mini cackles and says she deserves and Oscar for that performance!
Lupe is inside the Fonda thinking of what Mini said and then what MA said. The poor girl is very confused!
Mini tells Ahole she talked to "Maria Mercedes" , also known as "Guadalumpen". Mini wants the house and those properties he promised her, as does Isela, who tries to pinch his cheeks again. Mini has some more to do, before Ahole will do this for her, like spying, and Isela remarks, who knew Mini could be like Mata Hari.
The Menchaca family is dining and of course entitled Emi isn't eating, the poor thing is just so verkelempt and he doesn't want to listen to anything Lupe has to say. He takes his plate to the kitchen. Lupe gives Tizoc, Frida's address so he can go find out about the "Problem".
The RPs are also at table, Frida is actually talking, along with MA ,while Leo is looking at the perks of his new smart celly. Leo says he has two options, Option A: Go to New York, Option B: Be an artiste. Frida offers up an Option C: I didn't hear what it was. MA wanted Leo to continue in the juice biz, but Leo isn't willing anymore, even though MA tells them they are a part of it. MA wants Frida to continue her studies at the Prepa. And AS, porca miseria still about MA not giving her more dinero. MA makes the mistake of bringing up Lupe and how she is the love of his life. AS of course reminds him that that woman is from a different social class. MA could care less and Leo and Frida agree with him. AS bring up children and Frida chokes. MA is glad that Frida and Leo like Lupe. AS is so done and bids them goodnight. Leo is still messing with his phone and AS wants to know why he didn't tell her goodnight? He did it by the Twitter.
Carm and Lupe have a little dish and Lupe wants to beleive in MA, but her son Emi and her familia comes first. Carm tells her to stop worrying about that Alacran, aka, Ahole.
Diego goes to see his Daddy Nepo. He wants Nepo to listen. He wants to move back in, he needs his Daddy. They are all they have, each other. Diego also tells Nepo he is the only family he has. Deigo sits on the sofa next to him and they hug and cry. Next day Deigo makes breakfast and Nepo wants to know if Deigo will play soccer again. No, but he'd like to get in on the juice biz. Deigo asks about Guendy, how's that going? Something about Guendy being too good for Nepo maybe?
So here is Mini spying on MA's movements. He leaves Saul's pad with Mini following and keeping Ahole informed by phone. Mini's objective is to keep MA and Lupe apart, come what may and by any means.
Lupe has a chat with Tomas, about Ahole's latest shennigans with the custody of Emi. Tomas does tell Lupe, the judge may ask Emi which parent he'd like to live with. Tomas is sure that would be Lupe and the Menchaca.
Mini has followed MA and it's La Nopalera I think. Mini sees Lupe walking, spots MA before Lupe does and hot foots it over to MA before Lupe does. Mini makes Lupe think this was prearranged, this meet with Mini and MA. Lupe is pithed when MA tries to tell her it isn't true, but Lupe doesn't beleive him, and goes. Mini tells MA to stop leading this Rosa Salvaje on. Lupe goes, and Mini can't beleive he dumped Mini the godess for that! MA tells her to shut it! Mini says she'll never forgive him.
Beba, Chabella, and AS at the Cloob. They want that donation and AS of course will donate, do they want that in dollars, euros, or whatever.
MA tracks Lupe down at the Fonda, but she won't listen to him. They argue so loudly, Don C ends up refereeing. Lupe is done with MA and Don C tells MA to respect Lupe's decision and to leave her in peace. MA goes and Don C wants to hug Lupe, but she doesn't want one.
Mini tells Isela and Ahole about the Ahole Agenda being accomplished. MA and Guadalumpen are seperated for good. Now Ahole's way is clear. He's so happy. Now it's time for the divorce papers signing, which each of them do, and by the way, Mini didn't read it before signing. Hmmmmmm?????
Frida is at home, AS is out, and Tizoc has come for a visit. He can't get over the house that Frida lives in. Now he asks her about that preggers test found in the bathroom at the Fonda. Was it hers? Is she preggers? Frida doesn't say a word.
AVANCES:
Ahole tells Lupe it is time for her decision.
Mini spills all to MA!
Labels: pobres
Option C given by Frida: Leonardo could continue being a petite bourgeoisie dedicated to the night life.
Will a new Nepo emerge when he finally stops crying? This is at least the second episode in a row with a crying Nepo. It is getting a little old.
The funniest moment for me was Frida "choking" "coughing" when AS brought up children. I can't wait for Tizoc to find out he is going to be a daddy. I liked don Chuy forcing Tizoc to "man up" and go and see Frida. Too bad he had to threaten him with going to AS and Frida himself.
I also liked don Chuy telling Perla and Tizoc that Alejo would be coming by to collect for the favors he had done for them; that nothing is for nothing and that they had did it all for a "poor plate of lentils."
Lupe actually getting into the SUV to talk to Minerva annoyed me. It made her look more gullible than what they have made her out to be.
On we go!

I didn't see the episode last night, and I can't say I'm eager too either, with all the doom and gloom. I wish Lupe weren't so quick to believe the worst of MA. She wasn't like this before. What happened?
I was so frustrated last night! Like you, I am so done with that little monster Ahole created' I want him to go with Ahole already!
As mentioned, Perla, Tizoc, and Chuy are talking about MA cheating on Lupe, which is why they're not happy. I didn't appreciate Don Chuy telling Lupe that MA is no different from Ahole when she brought up that maybe he hadn't betrayed her.
MA made fun of the causes AS has supported as being completely fraudulent and she had the gall to tell him that he treats her worse than a panhandler now, at which point he laughed in her face.
AS has to give donations to "causes" at the club to be back in good graces and she tells them that she's doing it for charity of course, not personal gain. They make fun of her and basically tell her she's full of crap and used to be "el ajonjolí de todos los moles" and now she's "la apestosa" so it's natural that she'd do anything to get back in.
I still can't believe Tizoc referred to Ahole as "Alejito" and how he would never behave as Lupe said. I can't wait for him to get what's coming to him!
At the scene at AS’ house MA was writing a check for Saul for all his work to date, AS walked in and that is when she asked him to write her a check for donation for charities…
When Mini went back to A-hole after she talked to Lupe, A-hole told Mini that there was one more thing she needed to do, that now she had to tell MA what she had talked to Lupe…
Nepo tells DA he feels Gwendy is not the right woman for him… DA rebutes saying maybe it is the other way around, you are not the right guy for Gwendy (as in it is Gwendy who is too good for Nepo)
Vivi, I could not agree more with I wish Lupe weren't so quick to believe the worst of MA. She wasn't like this before. What happened? As a matter of fact, I gave up on Lupe last night. MA should now tell her stte of ‘you won’t believe me no matter what I say (that is, if you actually let me say anything). You always believe Mini and A-hole even though you know too well that all they do is to try to separate us. So I have had it with this. Whenever you are ready to listen to me, let alone believe in me, you know where to find me. (and walk away.).
Yes, she is vulnerable with the pressure A-hole is putting on her, but she should know better than believing every word Mini says, let alone get in her car. Lupe has heard MA's story and knows that some of the story he gave her ties into Tomas telling her he gave Emiliano a letter for her, that what Mini has told her is what MA told her he wrote in the letter, and that Mini and A-hole have been trying to separate them for a good while. Lupe knows very well WHY A-hole wants to marry her (the will clause). SO Lupe should start by telling MA about A-hole pressuring her to marry him. Then stop believing anything that Mini and A-hole tell her. She needs to stop 'wanting' to believe MA and just TRUST her instinct and BELIEVE MA now(good start would be allowing him to talk to her)... Otherwise, their relationship has no future.
Chuy should just stay out of it.
To get to this recap blog i had to click on the 'n comments' below the title of the recap in the general Caray Caray page.
I thought the scene with Diego and his dad was bittersweet.
Mimi's "Guapalumpen" and glee at her divorce was funny.
Yes, Mini says "Guadalumpen." She never runs out of ways to show just how classy she really is.
Annoying as Emi has been lately, I love how he didn't give Ahole a pass on the unkept promise. NOBODY lies to little Emi and gets away with it! Well... that is, if he catches them.
I, too, thought it was insane for Lupe to get in Mini's vehicle. Not in a million years, Lupe! And insane to pay any heed to anything Mini said.
And extra-specially crazy that, after seemingly accepting MA's explanation about the letter, she took at face value the scene between MA and Mini on the footbridge or whatever it was. Mini's the one who did all the talking. Even if Mini hadn't already lost all of her credibility a long time ago, nothing about that little "confrontation" was convincing.
And I certainly noticed that Mini didn't read before signing the divorce papers. It's possible that it was just one of many documents, and this particular one wasn't the one for the property; but still. Pay attention! (Unless she signed it "Minnie Mouse"!)
Another thing: when Tizoc told Frida that the test they found in the wastebasket was positive, I thought Frida looked surprised. Did I imagine that?
If so, maybe Lupe's test was the real winner after all.
The way they're drawing this out makes me think she's not actually pregnant. Maybe it was a false positive.
I definitely don't think Lupe is pregnant, though.
did Mini sign that she had to return all the properties A-hole signed off to her? with no money or alimony?? that would be a 'GOOD ONE!!' if Mini and Isela have to walk away empty-handed.
Jarifa
I'm so tired of these TN protagonists never having faith in the person they are supposed to love forever. They always fall hook, line and sinker for the lies coming from someone the know perfectly well has an ax to grind.
Who knew that Mini had time to watch Telenovelas, what with her references to Maria Mercedes (my first) and Rosa Salvage. Absolutely hilarious.
AS never gives up but she is starting to look a little bored with her BFF's and their attitudes.
Poor Diego. The actor may be a double for his father bit he apparently has inherited his mother's talent for crying on cue.
I'm waiting for Ahole Fan Club to get the rude awakening they both deserve. Can't believe that they are choosing him over their own sister.
I'm beginning t have my doubts about Frieda and her pregnancy. She reacts like she is but what a tragedy to have a baby which she will have to raise by herself since Tizoc isn't mature enough to take care of himself much less her and an infant.
Nepo's attitude - yes, he has a long way to go regarding Diego, but at least now he can look Diego in the eye. This suggests that he is able to learn and grow, even if only very slowly.
I'm still unsure whether AS will change in any meaningful way. On the one hand, she did quit drinking (for what, a week or two), and she's acquired a taste for enchiladas. On the other hand, she's still deeply invested in all that classist BS even though it's costing her a lot of money and dignity and isn't fun at all.
My only hope is that, after she donates all that money to those charities, and gets everyone on her good side again, she'll tell Beba and Chabela to go jump in the lake.
She'll also have to confess to the theft of the Menchacas' money in the next few weeks (unless she is outed by someone else, maybe Leo will tell Diego). That ought to be interesting.
Thank you so very much for all your kind words and the welcome back. I have missed Y'all so much!
Thanks to all of you especially Jarifa, Anon 7:35, Marta and Anon 12:35 for what I missed. It is always much appreciated : )
The reason I pointed out that Mini never read when she signed those divorce papers, cause I really think Ahole will end up screwing her over as he does to everyone. Mini was so dumb when she did that.
I am sick of Emi, his tude has to go, but as Julie pointed out, Emi did call Ahole out on his lie. I wish Emi could overhear Ahole at his worst, threatening his Mama Lupe, then maybe Emi will wake up.
I am not looking forward to tonight. I don't want Lupe to cave to Ahole.
Okay, I watched the scene from Monday in slo-mo and Tizoc definitely hurried to try to shove something in his nose when the girls at the school recognized him, but it looked like he didn't succeed in getting it in, whatever it was, before they rushed over to him, so he was holding it in his hand in a closed fist the rest of the scene. Weird, though. It was filmed in a way to make it super obvious he was doing something, but we get no explanation?! I hope we do at some point.
Why oh why would Lupita ever believe anything Mine told her even a little bit? She knows that Minerva is both obsessed with MA and hates her, not to mention that she's very likely willing to help out Ahole in order to get a better divorce deal. She couldn't seem less believable if she tried! And Lupita saw how nonresponsive MA was when he was "discovered" undressed in the cama with Mine.
Super disappointed in Leo. Dude, Leo, your friends almost certainly already know you're gay, and they don't care. Also, btw, that dude in the blue shirt from Monday's epi totally wants you. Would you rather date that smarmbot than sweet Diego? Ugh.
I think we are all sick of the bad plot devise of protagonists who believe known liars over his/her one true love. Since almost all Lupe decisions are bad at this moment, things look bleak.
I hope Marta is right and Mati blows Alejo's world up, I just want it to happen soon.
Maybe it really is a cosmetic device that his agent recommended. Be awfully embarrassing if it popped out while he was on stage!
As far as Nepo goes, it's bebe steps with this guy. I think eventually he'll come around, he's just slow. I liked the moment when Nepo and Diego were crying on the sofa. It was so sad.
I too can't figure out why in the world Lupe listened to Mini spewing her crap. Especially after MA talked to Lupe. I can't stand the fact she is being bamboozled by Mini and Ahole. I think, as some of you do, that Emi should go live with is "sainted Papa" and see how that goes. I bet it wouldn't go well. I bet Emi would be begging to go back to La Nopalera in a hurry, just my own theory.
Maybe some of the lessons she learned in La Nopalera is starting to penetrate AS' brain waves. I too think AS has had it with Beba and Chebella. AS sure was giving them some snarky side ways glances, cause they are both so vapid.
I agree with Marta on Dona Mati, picture it, if you will, Dona Mati shows up in the board room with the funny Zombies and Ahole has apoplexy! Those Zombies love Dona Mati and Ahole will be toast, well that's my theory.
THAT is what bugs me in TNs. I can see why she had some doubts about MA, but I can't see why that distrust shouldn't extend to her enemy! Does she have such a limited supply of distrust that she can't spread it around? Come on!!
I'm very sympathetic with Leo (and Diego). He only recently came to grips with the fact that he is gay (if indeed he truly is) and the same is true of Diego. Apparently this is the first experience at gay romance, plus it's been rather tame (maybe more like puppy love) from everything we've seen, so would it be unusual at all for them not to even end up together but rather end up with a good friendship. I would guess that gay romance is not all that different from that the straight variety in this respect. Besides, Leo is still adjusting to his gayness and Diego is busy mending fences with his dad. There's plenty of time for them if they are meant to be.
As for Frida's pregnancy, if Tizoc doesn't man up, at least she has the financial resources and very likely the inner strength as well as potential family support to face it without him.
I thought that Minnie looked stunning in that sleek, tight, vertically stripped, metallic silver and gray sheath, but did anyone else think it looked like a very similar dress worn by Alma in PEAM?
Carlos
As for Leo, after that disturbing display last night I'm beginning to think that he should just marry his car. I've never seen him that happy with a person!!
It was a pleasure : )
Julie:
I so agree with you about Mini, why oh why does Lupe believe that twit. And she really believes Ahole's threats! I think if Saul helped Tomas out they would do rings around Ahole.
Julia:
I agree with you too about why would Lupe think MA would go back to that vapid Mini. Lupe is just very confused what with everything that is happening to her. I think if she had less pressure she'd see her way clearly. She'd be able to think at least.
Carlos:
Thanks so much. I too wonder about Leo and Diego. Time will tell probably, by the end of this TN we should know for sure. I too remember that dress Alma wore in PEAM, but it does look better on Mini I think.
Julia:
I think you may be right about Leo being bisexual. It would be interesting if Maca came back.
I don't know if you have commented before, but welcome to Caray Caray, it makes sense if that is what Frida said to Leo about being a parasite. He was that before the Menchaca experience. I was hoping he would do something to earn a living. Seems he's reverting to his old ways and I don't want to see that.
