Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #23

Greta is on the phone with Dani's principal and is wigging out as usual. Fausto comes in and consoles her as she laments about Patricio and her current woes.

Sofia asks why Chava hasn't gotten married and he says something but is interrupted by Pato who is now on the phone with Sofia and he appears to be genuinely considerate until Sofia mentions Chava is with her and the harp that was his heart is ripped at the strings. (It's funny that Chava is in the background cleaning while she is talking.)

Pato is being an ass and Silvie tells him to cool his jets; she thought was better than this.

Chava has set up the fireplace and he says he thinks it's weird seeing Sofia in the kitchen cleaning and not in the Ripollery giving orders. Sofia says she knows more than giving orders they bond some more. He thinks he is distracting her but he isn't; she sits him down and they drink a te de francia.

Silvie notes Greta is a woman who knows what she's doing; Paot better watch out. He admits Silvie is right and he must be pro-active. Silvie says it's good he hasn't lost Sofia. Pato and her plot some more when he says he is ready to fake it up and win Greta the bad ol' way.



Chava says Sofia would be a good racecar driver and some talk leads to Chava suggesting that she learns to drive. She doesn't see it but he says life is like driving a car and if she learns to do so, she will have a better hold on her life. She agrees and they bond over driving real soon; she is nervous about being in the driver's seat but Chava reassures her she will be fine and instructs her hands-on how to move the stick. They're driving!

Paco gets off the bus and starts bitches about Irma having left the shoppe closed and here comes Lupe in an interesting printed dress to talk to Paco; she has come for cookies that Marisol loves but Irma put the locks on wrong! They work together and open the store. Lupe is about to leave but Paco opens his heart, closes the shoppe again and invites her to his house to chat over coffee.

Sofia is having a blast driving!

Irma and Alexa haunt and roam along the TV screen and Armie's mind while Alexa (clad in Alfred Htichcock-esque Birds ensemble) herself is lamenting to Fausto about Arm. He as usual is the voice of reason and says Armie is just doing his job. Fausto hears a ringing of the doorbell and it's none other than the one and only Alan Duncan! He is very hasty in speech and Fausto side-comments about him (I don't blame him.)

Armie is doing a silly dance which reminds me of a chicken when Fausto comes in and asks him what he is doing; Armie says his situation is Alexa because she will ask for something and he will respond to her. but it will never be the right way. Armie is about to quit when Fausto tells him not to since he is needed there.

Paco and Lupe talk at home as do Fausto and Greta (he interrupts her art'n'music'n'scrapbook time but has hesitations at first) in similar formats. (There is mentioning of Paco's daughter who is a lawyer BTW and we see Paco getting passionate about who deserves Lupe and who doesn't. Also Greta has a flashback about having a sad.)

Alan wastes no time in giving ViewerVille a reason to hate him as he flamboyantly yanks and screeches in and on Alexa's hair/ear due to financial BS when Armie comes in and gives him a good punching. Alexa spits out that Alan is her BF and Armie looks devastated.

Paot has a bad-ass moment with shades like Magnum PI and logically-present background music while Chava and Sofia bond automovilistically. She loves driving now! Pato sees Sofi's car and cusses out Chava. Sweet Chofia Jubilee when Pato's car thrusts almost into their car and he comes out to scold the Chofia we know and love. Just pure confrontation. BTW the car is stuck in the mud.

More Lupe/Paco sweetening which I have come to love (he actually says good things about her unlike nasty things he says in general :)  Just as she is leaving he suggests for her to try and talk with Marisol since he knows what it's like to lose something precious.

Fausto lets Greta know about Alan being over.

Lupe is going know and the 2 thank each other but Paco remains crying.

Alexa asks what gives Armie the right to punch guests of the house? (Well he was hurting you Lexi.) Armie and Alan fend off their insults.

Chava and Pato (well just Pato) humorously attempt to get the car out of the mud and it results in Pato covered in well you know.

Comments:
Sofia not knowing how to drive is normal with famous, wealthy families, who rely on chauffeurs to drive them around.

Heck, look at the Governors and Presidents, who get chauffeured their lives.
 

CorazonSalvaje, thank you for your very fine recap! You sure hit it on the head with Armando and his "chicken" dance. I didn't know what to call it! Very funny!

I liked: Chava teaching Sofía how to drive, the Chava /Pato competition to get the car out of the mud, Paco finally acting like a "normal" person with Lupe.

I didn't like: Alan abusing Alexa--if he mistreats her like this in her own house, what did he do to her when they were alone in Madrid?; Pato deciding to drive out to see Sofía.

CorazonSalvaje, this was awesome!

"the harp that was his heart is ripped at the strings" and "clad in Alfred Htichcock-esque Birds ensemble)" were excellent. "Alan wastes no time in giving ViewerVille a reason to hate him as he flamboyantly yanks and screeches in and on Alexa's hair/ear due to financial BS" was my hands down favorite of many.

Alan is cringeworthy. How dare he abuse Alexa like that and why does she take it?? I know, classic abusive behavior. It makes my skin crawl. I was hoping Armando was going to beat him to a bloody pulp - he got away far too easily. What a ridiculous sight in that pink jacket, shorts and hideous hair. Sorry, can you tell I hated him on sight? Ack.

Was glad Paco had a heart to heart with Lupe. It's sad that he is in such tremendous pain after all these years. As is Greta. I think they both have channeled their hurt and anger toward the world and those who love them in particular. Now we know why Greta did not keep her rendezvous with Paco...

I was marveling at the beautiful tile in Sophia's "cottage". Now I don't like to cook but I am sure I would if I had that kitchen! Got a kick out of Pato washing the windows even with it raining.

I think I am alone here but I do not find Pato to be the least bit attractive (Niecie, we always seem agree on our galans except in this instance :). I'm sure Julian Gil is a very nice man but he does nothing for me.

Corazon, thank you so much for the fantastic summary.

Diana
 

Diana, you are not alone: Pato does nothing for me either. I also do not like the overly developed almost body builder physique so many of these actors have perfected. : (

Jarifa
 

Diana, Alan & Alexa are the Latino version of Ike and Tina.

Don't be surprised if he hits her and other abusive stuff (see Ray Rice) in the following episodes of the TN.


 

Corazon:

Thanks so much for this fantastic summary.

Diana:

I so agree with you about what you said about Paco and Greta, that is exactly it! So sad! I wish they were talk, really talk, Greta and Paco and clear the air. It would go a long way.

Diana and Jarifa:

I'm joining you at the Pato does nothing for me either table. It's not so much his phisque but his oiliness. Not liking him at all.

Steve:

The example you gave is really for security reasons. It's not that they don't choose to drive themselves but those chofers are trained in evasion tatics and most are trained bodyguards. Even when they leave office the danger is still there.
 

Thanks Corazon! I missed the episode last night, so this was really helpful. Looking forward to seeing Pato covered in mud. Although I'm disappointed that he did end up interrupting Sofia and Chava's retreat.

Paco acted like a normal, calm person? This I HAVE to see!
 

Thank you Corazon! Alan really was screechy wasn't he? What a schmuck.

Put me at the "Pato does nothing for me table" as well.

Diana, I liked the tiles in that kitchen too. Just beautiful.

It was good to see that Greta didn't just dump Paco. She lost her father and Paco in the same day. How sad. I dont' think it was made clear what happened to Greta's dad. Just some TV news coverage of a massive financial setback in the country that caused businessmen to either have coronaries or commit suicide.

 

How convenient that while Alan didn't have enough money to pay the rent, he did have enough money to buy a plane ticket from Spain to Mexico.
 

Xlnt Alan sold everything that she owned. That's why she had her first panic attack.
 

Yes, he did. But he must have gone through all that money as well, hence all the calls from Spain. But maybe he kept enough for a plane ticket. A trans-Atlantic flight isn't cheap though.
 

CorazonSalvaje - Fab recap. Muchas gracias.

Diana, Jarifa, Madelaine, xint - Well, it looks like Silvie and I will have Pato all to ourselves. When it comes to wearing a suit and tie or tux, Julian Gil (and (Gabriel Soto) are it for me. No even his character's oiliness has turned me off.

That scene with Pato acting like a perfect a$$ with Chava and getting his Italian suit splattered with mud was great. I believe Pato even claimed Chava was too weak to push the car. Loved Chava getting even, as I'm pretty sure Chava has the driving skills to get that car out of the mud but instead deliberately gunned it to mess up Pato.

The actor playing Alan was in Corazon Salvaje 2010 as the gypsy guy that tried to win the stolen gypsy girl away from her true love. No idea why Alexa hooked up with Alan since he has no money of his own.

I was cooking and listening but not watching during part of the show, but heard this low sexy voice and had to see its owner. It was Paco being nice for a change.
 

Sofia was too distracted of a driver. She should not have broken the law. She should have obtained a permit and taken lessons from a qualified instructor. Her behavior and driving skills are rather reckless. I don't think Chava has to worry about being out of a job anytime soon!
