Caray, Caray!

Good Afternoon Y'all,

Sorry this is up so late. Please enjoy the recap, such as it is ; )
 

Thanks, Madelaine! Your recap is indeed both que oui oui and que padre! I'm amazed you can do so much from memory!

I haven't seen the epi yet, but it sounds like Lupita is basically just sleepwalking through her own little nightmare. She's behaving in a way she'd give any of her loved ones hell for if they did the same thing.

We're in Ultimas Semanas, so when can Ahole's downfall start? Soon? Very soon? And I really want the Menchacas to all find out that AS is the one who stole the money. Her posh assets need to see the inside of a jail cell before this is over.

You hit the high points that I remember. I did have to laugh when Nepo came to see Lupe and fumbled around before telling her he had absolutely no feelings for her. I guess a load of bricks finally fell on him but he is still wrong on the Diego front.

I had wondered if he knew about Guendy and Saul but judging from the look on his face when he walked in on them he obviously didn't and it was an almighty shock.

After Emilhole had his sneaky phone call to Ahole Papi I was stuck by Ahole telling the boy he was proud of him (obviously for being a lying manipulative brat) hung up and did a double take thinking he actually had some feeling for the boy.

Looking at Tizoc filming his video he looks almost totally unlike his usual self and I wonder if the nose stuffing thing the other day was to change the shape of his nose to make him more European looking. Maybe Perla has a new career ahead doing make up for models.

Lupe, Lupe, Lupe you are an idiot.

AS in trying to learn to forge MA's signature to get her hands on the moneny may actually manage to salvage some of it from Ahole who is intent of sending the RP's back to the poorhouse.
 

Thanks, Madelaine, for your usual excellent recap. Loved the phrase "Ahole agenda."

My only question: since Lupe left MA with a full tray of bread, did he pay for it and take it home with him?

Aside from that, Iiked:

Tomás confronted Perla about the diet pills and supporting her.

Nepo coming around to Güendy. That means there is still a chance for him to accept Diego before this is over.

MA not having lost his taste for tepache.

MA telling Frida Lupita was very stubborn, very Menchaca and she telling him she knew exactly what he meant.

Finally: A great visual: Frida mirroring a picture of a girl all alone from the back hanging on her bedroom wall. She really is all alone.

Frida is all alone right now but she doesn't have to be. She should know by now that she can count on her big brother MA for anything, even just to listen as she thinks through what she wants to do. And although Lupe and MA are on the outs at the moment (and even if they never get back together), she should know she can count on Lupe as both a friend and as someone who's been there.
 

Mads, a few more details:
I think Tomas is the one that told Tizoc about Perla still taking her diet pills.
When Tizoc takes Perla to his video recording, he is trying to get the managers to let Perla be in the video but they say they wanted blonde girls and Perla is more native style… Perla tells Tizoc thanks for trying anyway. Tizoc was a bit irritated at the managers. But later on when the models that are going to be in the video are done with makeup they hate what the makeup woman has done. Perla comes over and says she can fix it… I would not doubt Perla ends up with a career as a makeup specialist somewhere…
MA did tell Lupe that he was sure she agreed to marry A-hole under pressure, but she would not tell him exactly how A-hole pressured her. MA did tell Saul that he was pretty sure the pressure had to do with Emi and was not strictly financial (money for her, Emi and her family) as Saul was guessing.
When Nepo first started to talk to Lupe, she got a bit miffed because he started it as if he was going to pressure into getting back with him… but he thought she was going to be hurt when he told her that he did not ‘feel’ for her as deeply anymore… Lupe had a huge sigh of relief that he FINALLY got the message.
When A-hole talked to the lawyer they were talking about the whole RP fortune, including AS/MA side of the fortune, going to A-hole’s hands when the deal was done. A-hole was faking concern at AS and her family AGAIN losing all their money…
I think Frida’s pamphlet was something about ‘expecting’ which I think is telling the audience that she is indeed pregnant / she is also asking herself stte of ‘now what do I do?’
DA and MA… MA asks DA if his sadness has to do with Leo. DA asks MA if his has to do with Lupe… they both confirm but neither wants to talk more about it.

and finally, i totally agree with
Lupe, Lupe, Lupe you are an idiot.


 

Thanks Madelaine. I don't remember much more than what you wrote. The main things for me were Tizoc trying so hard to get Perla a modeling job in his video, and Perla surprising everyone with her makeup prowess; and Nepo telling Lupita that he's not in love with her any more (expecting her to collapse with grief).

Also, Nepo trying to imitate Saul's head-wiggle. I can't do it very well either, but Nepo's attempt was hilarious.

I thought the title of Frida's pamphlet was "Hopeless," which could also describe a person who was disappointed NOT to be pregnant; but it's looking more and more like her test was positive.

True Frida knows she can turn to MA or Lupe, but I don't think she's ready yet. Assuming she's pregnant, she feels she has to choose between the RP world and the Menchaca world, and she already knows (or thinks she knows) what everyone would tell her. So she won't talk to anyone until she's able to wrap her brain around it herself so that she can tell them how she feels about it, rather than have THEM tell her how they think she SHOULD feel about it.
 

Agree with Anon 3:36 - Frida should use MA and/or Lupe as a sounding board to help her work out what SHE wants to do. Neither one of them would presume to TELL her what she should do, they're not wired that way.
 

Thank you so much Mads and commenters. Univision FROZE soon after Perla's makeup scene and I didn't get to see anything else. All of my "blanks" have been filled in thanks to all of you.

I loved seeing Perla doing the makeup she seemed so happy and so sure of herself. I hope she recognizes that it may be her calling (thought I think she IS pretty enough to be a model.)
 

Perla is pretty, but that's not really all that is required to be a model. At most she could do catalog work or commercials, but models are tall, extremely thin, and aren't necessarily beautiful, but rather striking.

I enjoyed seeing Perla feeling accomplished doing the makeup.

I believe Frida's pamphlet said "unexpected", though I had a hard time reading it.

MA was trying to make sure Saul takes Güendy seriously, though his answer wasn't particularly encouraging. They're definitely paving the way for Nepo and Güendy.
 

"They're definitely paving the way for Nepo and Güendy."

And I would rather see her with Saul :-(
 

Anon 5:17, you're right. "Inesperada" is "unexpected" - I had thought it was "hopeless." (I suppose that is rather a strong word to put on a pamphlet that's supposed to make patients feel better!)

I can't think of any way that "unexpected" can describe a negative test result, so yeah, it's time to start knitting the booties. (I knit very slowly)

Guendy and Saul both sounded as though they agreed that this was just a fling, which makes me think that it will become serious. But maybe Nepo will interrupt their hot date before anything happens at all.

Speaking of hot dates, are Chuy and Carmelita really too busy to try their date again? What is taking them so long??
 

Thanks Madelaine, I appreciate your quickie off the cuff recap.

As Anon just said, the pamphlet was titled Inesperado (unexpected), and the small print said we understand you, we will help you.

I thought that Nepo's silent head bobbing imitation of Saul was spot on and hilarious. Tizoc's promoter makes me smile with his dismissive use of "Next!" and last night his toadies picked up the theme.
Also, I don't remember who said it (Saul?) but someone referred to his hamster either working hard or being tired.

The writers must be fans of your recaps and comments, Carlos!
 

MA also mentioned a mutant something last night. Any chance it was a mutant hamster?
 

Julia,

Then the writers of LQLVMR must be fans of Madelaine's recaps and comments since one of their central characters has borrowed her "Hmmmm".

Carlos
 

some of the dialog was "blanked out" last night. It seemed more than usual. I assume Univision is doing some censoring of the dialog. Were there "naughty" words spoken by any of the characters?
 

Usually Nepo gets bleeped once or twice per episode...from context I'm guessing he is using derogatory terms for "gay". I think Ahole often gets censored, too. I'm not sure what he is saying but I assume it isn't nice. And Guendy sometimes gets censored for what I assume are sexual terms too graphic for our delicate ears. I haven't seen last night's so I don't know what that was about specifically.
 

Yeah, Nepo and Guendy both had a LOT of silent bleeps last night. Nepo with the gay comments (mostly about Leo, I think), and Guendy promising to give Saul a blankety-blank.
 

Hello Y'all:

I just wanted to pop in real quickly to thank Y'all for all the lovely comments and especially to those who added stuff I didn't remember. It is always much appreciated and I thank you!
