Que Pobres tan Ricos... #159... Mati's farewell... A-hole believes he is at the finish line... but Mati still had some aces up her sleeve...
Isela swears to Mini that even if she spent money out loud, they would never stop being rich…
Mati and AS have a bit of emotional convo. Roberto was a gentleman… but a mother knows what she has and her son was useless and never valued what he had. AS admits he had it all… Mati admits that was their mistake, to give them everything without asking anything in return. Mati recognizes Rob was not faithful either. Mati tells AS that part of her bitterness is due to that. Even if you deny it. Mati asks AS to not waste what she has left of her life… even though you have your status back, I know you are not happy. AS argues she is. Mati says when my grandchildren move on, you will be alone. So use the opportunity and enjoy your children while you have them. Please hear the words of this old woman… not for anything but because I have more experience. Mati leaves AS in tears.
Lupe and Emi… she is ranting at him, he swears she won’t let him see his dad. You don’t love him, but I will keep seeing him, even if you get mad at me.
Mati goes to see Frida (this already sounds like goodbye speeches/final lessons of life) Frida tells Mati that she is ready to go on trip to see all of Mexico.. Mati tells her she has to stay and deal with a couple things and then will catch up with her in a few days. She has to leave another issue resolved. She wants to go on that one trip she has left feeling totally at peace. (oh my…)
Frida and Mati tell AS they are heading to Switzerland… AS has a fit with the idea. Mati tells her it is a pleasure trip they have been looking forward to… Leo and MA are also at table. MA is curious, why the idea of the trip. Mati says she has traveled with MA to London and with Leo to Broadway… AS rants that Mati has never considered her opinion… MA can only wish them to enjoy themselves. Mati says no circumstances can separate people. With Love, you can face anything.
At Menchacas, Chuy catches up with Lupe. He did not want to say anything in front of Emi, but he did not like the fact that Emi left school with A-hole without her permission.
At clinic again, Mati is back in, nagging that she does not want more tests… MA asks her to let them pamper and take care of her. Mati says ‘only because you ask, but I feel grrrrrreat!!’.
Carm talks to Lupe… when your dad finds out A-hole and you are married… Lupe is still hopeful her divorce will be done today and she won’t need to tell her family.
Frida and the nerd friend at school. She tells him she is going on trip. He knew she would not fulfill her promises… he should have known better…
Doctor and Mati… she has to rest a bit before leaving… Doctor leaves her alone.. (YIKES!!!) we see nurse legs … but hands are a bit too big for a nurse woman… nurse puts a pill on her hand… gives her a glass of water.
Nurse leaves the room… and we find out it is A-hole.
Something happened or the pill is slow to take effect. MA joins Mati… she is a bit tired. He rolls her chair out of the place running LOL!
At RP house, Leo is watching Frida pack. He seems to want to go along. She says he has the commitment to help MA out. He says not same option A trip to Europe vs Option B staying and working.
Mati and MA share a cute moment looking at a spectacular view of the mountains and fountains… MA glad she is better. He sees her happier every day. She says she is at peace, Life has allowed her to recover not only her sanity but the time to enjoy her loved ones. MA says he was pained to be away from loved ones for so long. She says what matters is that you came back fully grown and mature.. .now you can care for your family. MA says almost everyone accepts him as before… only Emi he is still working on. Mati says we are all one great family (the Menchacas and RPs). That is the biggest valuable we take from life, the love of our loved ones.
Leo and Frida are still packing. She brings up the subject of his relationship. Leo says he spoke to Mati and she was taking it ok. Frida says we have a great grandma. Leo can’t close the suitcase. He nags about it and leaves. Frida finds an envelope that says ‘Fridita, don’t open this letter until you get to your destiny’… (yikes!!)
Mati and MA… she now talks as if she is saying goodbye… she then talks about Aureliano and her always wanted to have a daughter. Mati says ‘the more love you are capable of giving, life will be as beautiful as you want to dream it to be’. (Mati dies right there on her wheelchair, MA doesn’t even notice… he is saying it is a great feeling of peace…) (we hear a song)…MA gets desperate and yells for help. (editor’s note… we will miss you at the patio, dear Mati…)
Frida has the envelope in her hands when she gets the call from MA… she is shocked, puts hand over mouth.
At hospital, Leo and Frida arrive to hug MA… AS is sitting… no need to get upset. We have to wait for news. Doctor comes out. Mati has passed. MA is shocked… Frida hugs him, AS breathes a big sigh.
At fonda, Gwendy and Carm talk to Lupe to coordinate the menus for the wedding.
MA talks to doctor, does not understand what happened. Doctor is also puzzled, she had a heart attack, and even though she did not have any other signs, she did not respond. So sorry…
MA asks Leo, Frida and AS to be strong. AS will make the arrangements for the service at the cathedral… MA will take care of that. He tells them that Mati asked to be watched at the Fonda. AS protests, but MA says it was her last will and it is not up for discussion. AS says ok but then there is no use our friends to find out about the watch since the would not go. MA says Mati’s true friends will be there.
Rita asks Gwendy if she will get a bachelorette party… Gwendy is confused because Rita asks this when she is Nepo’s ex. Rita says she is indifferent to Nepo now. She is glad that DA would have an ‘ally’.
At A-hole’s… A-hole is anxiously waiting for a call to get news of her passing. MA calls him. A-hole fakes not knowing, asking MA if his call is about the divorce. MA is very sad and says have very bad news, want you to find out from me. Mati has just died. A-hole is shouting a skid about being upset when he is smiling from ear to ear… They hang up .’’how sad… I did it!... I got rid of that mummy!... finally she is in heaven’’
DA tells Nepo he will eat at the Menchacas to talk to Rita a while. Nepo is not quite ok with it… thought DA was going to study at Nuevo Leon… DA says he wants to take the opportunity to go to the United.
At fonda kitchen, Lupe is happy telling Carm that Gwendy is so happy with her wedding. Lupe says she will shower a bit before MA gets there. Carm asks if Tomas will go with them. Lupe says yes, but she can’t wait another day… MA arrives very somber… Lupe can tell something is very wrong. MA tells Lupe and Carm that Mati died. Lupe is teary eyed, hugs him hard.
Nepo asks DA.. tell me the truth..the real truth… are you happy?... not that much. Nepo still is reluctant to talk about ‘that’. DA says ‘that’ has a name. Nepo says ‘that which you are… is something I still can’t understand that well… please understand me… I was educated another way… very macho…’ DA says I know… Nepo says ‘put yourself in my shoes (the only ones that matter to you, jerk!)… when one finds out that your child is … like that… well….. I love you my son… I love you very much’.
MA tells Carm and Lupe that he was with her in her last few minutes… and he can tell she went at peace. Chuy and Perla are very upset. Carm too… the mother, mother in law, grandma and friend we all dream of having. Lupe does not know how to tell Emi. MA says it won’t be easy but sometimes children know more than we do about these things… Lupe goes upstairs. Emi can tell she is crying… Lupe tells Emi that ‘your grandma got ill… she had something in her heart… and she won’t be with us anymore… she died, mijo’… Emi gets upset quick. Lupe says all we can do is remember all the nice moments we lived together, about everything she taught us when she was here… and to pray for her.’ Emi is ok with it.
The watch is on. The place is full, all men are in black suits, they are praying the rosary led by Carmelita.
There is a huge portrait of Mati on one wall… there is not a dry eye in the whole place. Chuy talks about the deep pain in his heart. La Donita left us. His wrestling friend tries to cheer him up a bit. Chuy says she was just enjoying time with us, she was laughing… The son of perro A is also there to comfort him. Chuy says Mati left the papers of the house with him. Now he can breathe easy that no one will get them out of there. He will always thank Mati for not leaving them alone. AS is protesting that they are watching her at the ‘colonia’… AS is nagging about the ‘customs’ of the salt cross and onion they put under the coffin… Even Leo says those customs don’t offend anyone… AS keeps nagging. MA leaves her, he’s had enough.
DA comes and Leo hugs him. A-hole makes his appearance. ‘my grandma Mati… granny… why did you leave us, granny?... you were always my model… you left me all alone in this world… why, God??... why granny?... My God! Why did you not take me instead of her?? She deserved to live more!! She did not deserve it!!’ Emi approaches him and A-hole continues the skid ‘she left us, my son, she left us for good’
Nepo arrives to the wake… Trofeo behind him… Nepo remembers when he helped Mike to pay for Mati’s tests… he never thought she was so ill… and she was so pretty, truly… he has brought some booze to help deal with the sorrow… he rants at Trofeo to not take it all… Gwendy comes to them… Nepo does not know it is her… Gwendy tells Nepo ‘we have to love and pamper each other all the time, we never know when it will be too late…’
A-hole keeps feeding crap in Emi’s brain… tells Emi that last time Mati talked to him at the office, she was no longer mad at him. A-hole says he wants them to be a family and live together. Lupe joins them, she is not happy that Emi is alone with A-hole. (too late, Lupe…damage done already)
Trofeo offers AS some of his cup… She is not happy about it until she tastes the ‘coffee’ then her eyes pop out…
Mini and Isela at their house… they can’t believe Mati is being watched at the Fonda. At least after this, A-hole can fulfill the clause from the grandpa. Isela says she has lots of money now, besides, she has another ace card under her sleeve. Mini asks her to spill the beans, Isela won’t.
Leo tells DA that just when grandma and him were getting close and he had discovered that she was very understanding and knew him more than he thought, she is gone … DA tells Leo that Rita is inviting him to go with her to the Uniteds.
A-hole keeps his skid with Lupe… losing Mati is like losing his mom all over again. Now more than ever he wants Emi to go live with him. Frida comes to them… Lupe sends Emi with Frida. Lupe rants at A-hole not to keep looking for her… A-hole starts making smart remarks about her being prettier… no divorce… He warns her that if she keeps pushing for divorce, he will have Emi tell a judge who he wants to live with… Besides, A-hole can sue her for abandoning the home… He basically warns her that she has no choice but to come live with him at his house. When he can fulfill the clause, he will give her the divorce.
Previews: A-hole thinks the ‘clause’ is in his hands… but surprise, surprise!! The notary tells him that Mati left a statement that the ‘marriage’ he had with Lupe was forced, so it is not valid for fulfilling the clause. (YOU GO MATI!!!! ‘otra vez fria, hah, A-hole??’)
I will try to edit this tomorrow… but it was not as bad as I thought … it was nice for her to go at peace even though we know in reality A-hole did kill her…)
Mati and AS have a bit of emotional convo. Roberto was a gentleman… but a mother knows what she has and her son was useless and never valued what he had. AS admits he had it all… Mati admits that was their mistake, to give them everything without asking anything in return. Mati recognizes Rob was not faithful either.

I told you so ViVi that Ahole would kill Dona Mati.
Ahole will continue to go as far as Feo of PSMA.
Maybe he'll kill MA'S nagging mother.

NOOOOOOO! So upset that (a, raising right hand)Dona Mati died and (b, raising left hand)Ahole murdered her! This far outweighs any tragic circumstances of the Robo ending just previous to this.
I'm hopeful that Mati sewed things up tightly beforehand. Ahole has truly crossed the line from a comic villain to an evil, dirty, b*st*rd.
And despite being a peaceful death in a lovely setting, it was premature and unncessary. (Sniffles, sad face)

Marta:
Thanks so much for this very fab recap. Ahole needs to go, I can't take seeing him on the screen anymore. I wish that Lupe had some type of recording device in her pocket where she could record all of his threats and bring it to the custody hearing. He'd lose!
I cried like a bebe when Mati died, may she rest in peace. I was yelling don't take that pill, spit it out, but no such luck. I am hoping Mati haunts Ahole that would be wonderful. I wish someone had seen Ahole in that nurse's uniform. Well Isela knows so maybe she'll tell.
I liked the wake. All of Mati's true friends were there, and AS with her porca miseria, I was yelling at her to shut up! Now she has taken a drink again, will her martini's be far behind?
Now what is Frida going to do? No one in the family knew she was preggers but Mati. Will Frida have a talk with MA? I'm hoping she does. He would be her best support.
Thanks again Marta for this fab recap, so sad, but you did it justice.

There aren't enough four-letter words in the English language to describe how mad I am that Grandma Mati was killed by A-Hole. I hope whatever she left behind is enough to keep him from getting that company and that a HUGE anvil falls on him in the end.
Marta, thanks for your most excellent recap of such a sad episode. It is wonderful just as it is!
La Paloma, you are so right about Alejo having crossed the line.
Mads, I agree with you that I cannot stand to see Alejo anymore. His wake antics weren't funny just disgusting. Then we add what he has done to the Menchacas and especially Lupita and Emiliano and I sure hope he comes to a very bad end. Too bad the doctor had told doña Mati to rest and that he'd be giving her some vitamins before leaving so there was no reason to be suspicious of the pill.
Doña Mati did some good things in the episode before Alejo killed her. Her conversation with AS about AS's trying marriage with one of her sons gave AS some validation in what she had gone through. I also liked that she showed her some affection and kissed AS. I also loved her telling the other Ruizpalacios that now it was Frida's time for a trip with her granny. And then of course there was her final conversation with MA and her special concern for Frida.
Looks like Nepo finally might be accepting Diego being "eso" but he was so annoying making it all about himself one more time.
It was also sad seeing AS fall off the wagon with the spiked café. DaVinci looked well dressed for the wake; very elegant.
I wonder what is in the note that doña Mati left Frida.

Jarifa, the biggest question is whether they're following the original TN ?
I tried warning y'all Ahole was going to kill Ahole.
I'm predicting he'll kill MORE people before the Gran Final.

Alejo CROSSED THE BIG LINE last night in killing his GRANDMOTHER !!!
This is sick, Isabel of PSMA lost her poor baby boy thanks to Feo and Sonia. I'm still torn up about that.
I can't wait for MA to find out it was Alejo, who killed Dona Mati and KILL ALEJO with his bare hands.
Lupe better watch her back because Alejo might kill her too.

Thank you for the recap Marta. This was such a sad episode
I felt bad for all the Ruizpalacio sibilings, Doña Mati was their greatest support. Even AS looked devastated.
I couldn't even enjoy Alejo's ridiculous disguise because I was so upset that I knew he had been successful. His abuse and murder of his own grandma is on par with the worst actions of dramatic telenovela villains.
La Paloma:
You are right that Doña Mati's death far outweights the events in LQLVMR. I had no attachment to the character that died there, unlike here where I was so sad.

Thank you Marta, what a sad episode, but we all knew it was coming. What was that pill that Mati took that killed her, I wonder. They should give it to Texas for their deathrow inmates. Sounds much better than what they have been giving them.
Alejo crossed the line long before when he killed Adolfo. They say the second one is easier than the first, in fact, I think Alejo said that too after he heard the news.
I won't be fooled again thinking that Nepo is finally changing his attitude. This is about the 6th time at least, that I thought that.

A beloved character being murdered (by her grandson yet) seems a strange plot choice for a comedy. Don't understand the necessity.

cThis makes me feel sick for Emiliano. The last words I hear Mati utter to Alejo had something to do with over my dead body, which pretty much told us where we were headed. But UGH. Emiliano has been over protected so far and is in for a horrible wake up. Mati has been an inspiration with all her wise and loving words for everyone.
I thought that Emi looked a little taken back by Ahole's dramatics at the wake. He is in for a nasty shock but he's been such a brat I can't feel too sorry for him.
I hated seeing the possibility of AS falling off the wagon with the spiked coffee.
Dying of curiosity about what is in the note Mati left Frieda.
Really a sad episode.
Didn't followed of Robo but what a dud of an ending. I really thought Televisa was going to do the unheard of with the ending but they didn't.

Thank you for the recap!
Somehow I knew Mati would end up dying, but I didn't think Alejo would kill her!!! Even though Alejo is probably PO'd that he will still have to give Lupe for the divorce, he will probably end up getting custody of Emiliano. Seriously that kid annoys the heck out of me even more so than Alejo does. Lupe needs to smack him upside the head.
I wonder what is in the letter that Mati left to Frida.
I can't wait to see Alejo get his comeuppance.

Anon, they need Jack Bauer to take down Alejo.
My wife, Alicia, was devastated watching Dona Mati dying. I sooo hope Alejo burns in H*** for this.
I'm worried about Lupe and her family too, especially her Papa.

Marta, thanks so much for recapping this episode. I know the previews let us know that Mati would die but the fact that Alejo killed her rubbed me the wrong way. I also don't understand how in "comedic" tns people die tragically or are killed. It's most likely a cultural difference but still unsettling.
Is Uni still cutting episodes or have they stopped?

Thanks Marta! What a horrible episode for you to recap. This just sucks. I really hope Mati was able to put some things in place before she died that will help out Lupe and Frida, and put a stop to Alejo.
Murdering your own grandma. That's beyond cold.
I agree with those who have said that Emiliano has been too coddled and shielded from the truth-- like the other day when they hustled him off instead of letting him learn that Alejo had ordered Chuy be arrested. I'm not saying they have to badmouth Alejo, but let Emi see for himself some of the underhanded things Alejo does and the damage it causes.

"but let Emily see for himself some of the underhanded things..." exactly Vivi. The kid is just too ignorant.
I would love to see Matt come back to haunt and/or guide this story to its rightful conclusion.

I have been so caught up with this novella. I love the bloggers for all the recaps for keeping me updated when could not quite interpret what was said.
What is everyone going to watch next? Several new novellas starting up, but can only get involved with one at a time.
Thanks for your recommendations.

Nothing that's coming up looks good to me. After QPTR I'm taking a long break from tns until the next batch.

I really wonder if Lupe thinks she is shielding Emi from seeing what Ahole is really like so as not to look like the bad parent, when in fact, Emi thinks that now. I agree with Vivi, stop the shielding and let him see his "sainted Papa" for what he really is. Emi was giving Ahole a sideways glance when he was doing his over the top shenanigans at Mati's wake. Isn't there some TN law that if you kill your Mama or Grandma you have a really bad ending? I hope that happens to Ahole. He deserves the worst thing that can happen!
Thank thou Madelaine, I will give it a watch.

I'm hoping that Ahole suffers the same fate like Feo did in PSMA.
He's trending into Pinochet-esque territory.
First, he has his cousins kicked out of their mansion, then bankrupt, and now he's killed Dona Mati.
I'm worried about what he might do to Frida. Just saying!

Yes Madelaine, TNs save the hottest fires of Hell for anyone who kills his mother or grandmother. In the TN canon, no crime is worse than matricide (or Mati-cide).

I'm with you that the new crop isn't calling me. I'm actualy waiting for Telemundo's Los Miserables a moder take on the Victor Hugo classic. And the good thing about it is that it won't be overly long like most of Televisa's.

The thing about Mexican Comedic telenovelas is that they are more like dramedies. Big sad events happen: deaths, murders, etc.
Mexican comedies that are purely comedic are different, if they are not simply a collection of sketches, there's always a big touch that shows us that they are not in any way supposed to be taken seriously: The peluche in the Familia Peluche, the older people playing children in El Chavo del Ocho or La Escuelita, showing the audience and the curtain opening and closing in Dr Cándido Pérez, etc. And they are not subtle.
Comedic telenovelas borrow from the comedies and mix it with the melodrama of regular telenovelas, it's a bit of a balancing act. Some producers get it right but others end up exaggerating both the comedy and the drama and the result is a painfully unfunny telenovela with psycho characters running around.

Thanks, Marta! Reading your report first made Mati's death less painful for me when I saw the episode. You know Mati told Frida to go on ahead on the trip since Mati had a few more things to finish before she left. Do we think that Mati had a chance to finish those things before she died?

Marta, thanks for such a wonderful recap of such a sad episode. You did it very well.
Though I'm upset about Mati's death, I did find comfort that the surroundings were so beautiful and Mati went so peacefully.
I thought it was touching when Ahole was having his histrionics over Mati's coffin how Emi came up to him and tentatively said "Papa?" as if to try to comfort him. I think Emi took his dad's "grief" at face value.
Jarifa, ITA-DaVinci was dressed well for the wake.
I'm sure Frida feels so alone again.
Though I'm sure Ahole will get his punishment in the end, I think it's possible that the families will never know that Mati was murdered.
Julie, Jane and Mads (for 2 days!)--thanks to you for your recaps this week.

Vivi, I agree that Emi should not be so 'shielded' from learning about his dad's shenanigans... but if the Menchacas or MA or his mom tell him, he will take it as another accusation they are throwing on his dad to separate them... Emi has to find out about his dad on his own... i bet either we get Lupe to move in with A-hole and Emi hears a live conversation/argument between them or Emi hears his dad on the phone with Lupe on same argument about the divorce and how A-hole won't let her be happy with MA yada-yada. Emi has to find out on his own, so he can make his own conclusions... but i agree that they should no go out of their way to keep him from the bad news.
As far as learning that A-hole killed Mati... i am sort of in the fence there... I know this news should be found out at some point... but i am not sure it helps any to tell Leo, Frida or Emi that it was A-hole. Especially Emi... unless this is what Emi learns by listening to a conversation.
But if MA had the choice i bet he would want to keep it from those who don't need to know. Especially if it is proven that A-hole killed Adolfo... no use throwing more water on a ship that is sunk already.
I loved how Leo shared with DA that he learned almost too late how open Mati was to knowing him as he is and that he could have confided in her much earlier than he did...
Same for Frida... both the young grandchildren learned almost too late how good their grandma was.
and about Aureliano... do we know for sure how he died?

Loved the dry stare Tizoc was giving A-hole during his drama skid at the wake... MA and Frida just looked the other way, as did Lupe... good thing MA was there to support her as she was there to support him in his sorrow.
So who says that Lupe will end up going to live with A-hole, even if briefly? I am afraid so.

I for one will watch MCET but will not commit to Hasta or Malque because i will try to be heading to bed earlier... so i can get up early to fix breakfast or do exercise or bible study...
Thanks, Marta. What a shocking episode.
I'm still clinging to the chance that Mati saw this coming (maybe Isela even warned her, for a fee!) and arranged this with her doctor, and she's laughing it up in Tomas's apartment again. Yeah, no, probably not. Desperate situations call for desperate measures, but this would be a mean trick to play on all the other people who love Mati.
It seems ridiculous to me that Nepo has suddenly, mysteriously accepted "that" about his son. Why? What's different now than two weeks ago? Did we miss something in one of the cut episodes, or are we to believe that he just woke up in a more understanding mood? How long will that mood last? And does it extend to Leo? If not, then it's pointless.
And nice going, Trofeo, giving AS that which she needs the least.
I don't know about Emi. I agree with those who would like Lupe, Chuy et al to stop shielding him from the truth about his father. They can't bad-mouth the boy's father to him, but they can let Ahole's actions speak for themselves.
I am not planning on watching another TN right away. I just can't make that much time for TV-watching any more unless I'm fairly sure that I will LOVE it.

Great explanation by Jarocha of Mexican comedy/dramadies. But If someone had to be murdered, must it have been Mati? Nepo would be a better victim.

Well, Ahole's previous victim was a criminal. By having him kill an innocent person - his grandmother, no less, who could have sent him to jail months ago - I feel as though we're being softened up for a reckoning of epic proportions, like, way worse than we've seen in the heaviest drama.
I really did think Nepo was going to get murdered, a while ago back during his extremely brief cooperation with Alejo.
But if we're picking out murder victims, I'd volunteer Ahole himself, at the hands of Bambi's friends in prison.

I would say death is way to easy and too fast for A-hole. He needs to end up in jail wearing dull colors and ordering around NOONE (this one i am counting on Bambi to implement) for the rest of his life...
Well, I'm snickering at Marta's suggestion of making Ahole wear dull colors. Yeah! And nobody's going to be tailoring his jumpsuits, either. At least not in a way that makes them fit better.
