La Gata #5 - Friday 9/5/14 La Promesa
Parte 1
El Refrito
Pablo and Esme canoodle. She asks if it's true that he likes her as much as she does him. Does he like her as much as if they were....He interrupts to say he loves her like they are novios; with an immense and sincere love. He loves her with all the force of his heart. She's pure and blah blah blah. She says she loves him with all her heart, too. But how could he love her if she is so destitute (No tengo ni donde para caerme muerta.) This doesn't matter to Pablo at all. Their love has no limits. It's bigger than the universe. She is and always will be the first and last. Cue the longest "about to kiss" moment ever. FINALLY!! Contact!! (Hmmm. Pablo. What is that face? Shouldn't you be happier? I guess he knows the storm that's about to be unleashed.)
Virginia asks Mariano to explain again what he just did. He's gone and blabbed to their mom about Pablo's extracurricular activities on the hill. Mariano claims he's not bad, just practical and realistic. He thinks Virigina and Pablo are alike. Virginia doesn't think that's so bad. Mariano does not agree with his siblings insistence on treating the poor like humans. Pablo has gone and fallen in love with that muerta de hambre (loser...I know, it's a common one everyone knows, but I like it) and the only one that can put a stop to it is Mommy dearest.
Pablo is giving Esmeralda a piggy-back ride up the hill. The take another cuddle break. She asks him to assure her again that he loves her. He obliges. He can't fight it anymore. He loves her. He says they will marry and live together and he will love her forever and ever and ever (he said it just that way. Ok, writers...he's 20ish, not 10. jeez.) Esme asks him again to reassure her that he's not leading her on. He swears he was only fooling himself. Seeing her so vulnerable, so pretty, so tender...he can't resist. She is his most beautiful truth How is he not going to lover her. Because his harpy of a mother will stop him!!!! (Lorenza has some good hearing! How far away was she?)
Ugh. Pizzaria de Creep. He is obsessed with La Gata. Gross. Lupe thinks El Italiano needs to quit trying.
Lorenza asks Esme if she is trying to make a fool of Pablo (ponerse en eveidencia). Pablo asks his mom not to treat him like a child or to be disrespectful to Esmeralda. Mom snaps back that if he wants to be treated like a man, then act like it and he is the one lacking respect coming to a place like this to be with trash like this girl. Emse pipes up that she has a name. Loreza tells her not to take that tone with her. Esme is nothing but a worthless muerta de hambre who's set her sights on her son.
Lupe tells El Italiano Esme is in love with another.
Esme continues to try to defend herself and Lorenza tells her to shut up. Pablo asks his mom not to offend Esme. Lorenza can say whatever she wants, but at home where Esme doesn't have to listen to it. Lorenza is sarcastically touched by is gallantry, but people like Esme are less than people. Esme mumbles that otra vez vuelva la mula al trigo (oy vey she's starting that "poor people suck" crap again.) Lorenza sneers to Pablo that he hasn't helped her in the eloquence department. He still hasn't trained this cat. He corrects his mother. He's taught Esme how to read and write. He is not losing Esmeralda. She's a decent girl. Lorenza thinks that Esmeralda's willingness to hug in public proves she's not decent. Pablo explains that a hug is not indecent. He asks Esme to let him talk to his mother alone. When Esmeralda turns to leave, he realizes how injured her ankle is and wants to take her home. His father is going to hear about this!!! Pablo asks her not to make a tragedy out of this. Too late! He's decided and he's not going to change his mind! We'll see about that! And Lorenza flounces away. Esmeralda is worried. His mother doesn't like her and never will, plain and simple (de plano).
Pablo drives Esmeralda home. This must be the first time he's seen where she lives. He seems affected. He swears he's going to take her out of this misery as soon as he can. She doesn't want him to see her house and tells him he can let her off in the street. He helps her out of the car. He doesn't want her to worry about anything; not his mom or whether he loves her or not. She tells him her heart is in in his hands. All of her belongs to him. She loves him. Their tender moment is interrupted by Rita grabbing Esmeralda's hair. The wench calls her shameless (desvergonzado) to be so cuddly with a guy and smooching (besuquear). (Pablo, grab your girl and Centavo and get the hell out of there. Esmeralda: you don't owe Rita JACK SQUAT!)
Lorenza heads back to the house and she is pithed. She asks Virginia if she knew about Pablo and Esmeralda. Virginia doesn't see anything wrong with teaching her to read and write. Lorenza tells her that's not all. He's gone and gotten all googly eyed over the urchin! Virginia is thrilled! He's admitted he loves her!!!
Rita is a bully. She tells Pablo to beat it. He's a catrincito relamido (pretentious). This isn't his world. Pablo tells her that it's Esmeralda's and that makes it his, but as soon as he can he's going to take her away from the dump. Rita laughs.
Parte 2
Rita's not stupid. La Gata may fall for Pablo's sweet talk, but Rita isn't. Esmeralda tells Rita that Pablo is a good guy. He's the one that taught her how to read and write. Rita tells La Gata to get back to the canton. Esmeralda asks Pablo to let her talk to Rita, just like he wanted to take care of things with his mom. Before he leaves, Esmeralda tells him she's given him her heart. Take care of it. He promises to care for her like he always has. He pantomimes giving his heart to Esmeralda (Cursi? Yes. Did I like it? You betcha! So sweet.)
Virginia still wants to know what mom has against Esmeralda. Is is just because she's poor. Oh, she's not just poor. She'a una gata rascuache (penniless, wretched and vulgar). Virginia sticks up for Esmeralda even though she hasn't met her. Pablo has nothing but nice things to say about her. Mom really doesn't care. She's got to put a stop to this foolishness. Virginia reminds her mom that once Pablo puts his mind to an idea, he doesn't let it go easily. He may end up married to the girl! Mom swears that will nunca happen. She swears on her life it will never happen.
Monica and Pablo return from the movies. She noticed he didn't pay close attention to the movie. He makes excuses about early class so he can't really stay. She cracks a joke about maybe Pablo would have preferred to go with the girl from the hill. He gets a little cranky and tells her to leave Esmeralda out of it. He leaves abruptly and Monica realizes he likes Esmeralda more than he cares to admit.
That night Rita frets about how to get La Gata to see that El Italiano is the man that she needs to be with. She's worried that it's taking to long to convince La Gata and that El Italiano's money might dry up. She needs to come up with something so he'll keep doling out the cash.
A mini montage
Esmeralda looks for work. This time she's a little cleaner and maybe her wardrobe choice is a smidge better (just a smidge.) (I've noticed she only approaches females about work.) Pablo still defies his mother. Word is back from authorities: No pardon for El Silencioso (or maybe the director shaking his head "no" meant there was no word yet. Either way, it's not good.) Rita reads El Italiano's cards. He doesn't like the results.
La Gata scavenges in the dump and Rita tries to convince her that she's ruining her life (amolando la vida...and I would suggest caution since wordreference gave a pretty strong translation, but hey Uni didn't bleep it so....) Lots of words, one message: Pablo doesn't love you and he's sweet talking you about marriage and all so you will give away for free what El Italiano is willing to "buy" with money and marriage. La Gata doesn't give a hoot what Rita says. (I am amused by the neck brace La Gata slings around. I guess someone will actually buy it.)
Pablo shares his latest literary creation with the class. The prof is impressed. Pablo credits his girlfriend with the inspiration and the prof thinks Pablo will be a famous writer one day.
Doña Mercedes and Damian discuss La Gata. Doña Mercedes thinks it would be better for Esmeralda if she weren't so pretty. Damian wants to help her when he finishes his studies. She's like a sister to him. Esmeralda comes and offers to help Doña Mercedes with her work. Damian wonders why she was late and she explains about the fight she had with Rita concerning El Italiano. Damian is not happy about that. He tells Esmeralda not to deal with el Italiano.
Lorenza tells the staff that she wants everything perfect for tonight. Pablo is on he way out the door. She sees his book of poetry (Rafael de León) and tries to catch Pablo in a lie. He tells her not to ask what she already knows: yes, he's going to see Esmeralda and the book is a gift for her. Lorenza is incredulous. Honey was not made for the mouths of asses (La miel no se hizo para la boca de los asnos.) What.a.b!tch. Before he leaves she reminds him there will be guests for dinner. He sees through her ruse. He knows she just wants him to get along with Monica. He leaves and Lorenza decides she needs to get Augustin involved.
Parte 3
Esmeralda tells Doña Mercedes that Rita knows that she loves Pablo and he is her boyfriend. Doña Meche says that means he'll be coming to talk to Rita soon, then. Esme tells her Rita doesn't want to see him at all. Besides, Esme would rather get work and get a nice little house arranged first. Doña Meche says that Pablo should be coming to see Esme at a house, not sneaking around on corners. Doña Meche leaves and Esme asks Damian if he thinks Pablo loves her. Damian is not 100% convinced. I think the opinions of Doña Meche and Damian will sway Esme more than the words of Rita...so it's sad that they don't really trust Pablo either.
Fela gives her "daughter"doll a bath. Then she prepares "tea". Esme found the dishes she's using in a trash heap and brought them to her. "Papa" shouldn't be much later. He loves her and she loves him and they both adore her "baby". They can't live without each other. If she ever lost her daughter she would go crazy. And crazy she is. Crazy from the pain "that man" caused.
Esme puts her days finds away and heads out of the trash heap. El Italiano follows. He has to see with his own eyes if she has a novio.
Pablo reads poetry to Esme. The poetry speaks of a love that lasts beyond the grave. Esme asks if that's what their love will be like. Pablo says it is. He asks about her day. She studied and did everyone's laundry. He promises when they marry, she won't work so much. She asks about his day. He basically lounged around. He studied, painted and waited to see her. She asks if he loves her. He asks if she's every seen the ocean. He explains that it's enormous and deep...but his love for her is even greater and more profound. They snuggle and make out.
Lorenza harps on Augustin. He's got to talk to Pablo. Augustin thinks she's over reacting. She's making a storm out of a rainshower. Lorenza thinks it's high time Pablo start thinking about marriage...and with someone from their social circle. Augustin thinks she needs to stop badgering him (atosigar). Pablo doesn't like that Monica idea that his mother has in her head (entre ceja y ceja). Let him marry someone else and be done with it.
Esmeralda asks again if Pablo really loves her. He assures her again that he loves her. He worries that she's cold. She won't accept his jacket, but she will accept his hugs. He asks how she, Centavito, Rita and Ines are making ends meet since she's not begging. Esme explains that Rita is the one begging. Esme wants to find work soon so Rita can stop begging. (Eseme, dear...YOU DON'T OWE RITA SQUAT!) Unbeknownst to them, El Italiano is skulking about. Pablo tries to give Esme some money, but she won't accept money from him until they are married. She just asks him to swear he'll never stop loving her. The both swear it to each other and kiss. El Italiano sees it all.
El Italiano is not happy with Rita. Rita tells him that Pablo is dependent on his parent's money. He's got very little earning power of his own. All El Italiano cares about is what Esme thinks of him.
Lorenza thinks she should plan a trip to the ranch and invite Monica. Lorenza is really determined that Monica be Pablo's spouse. Augustin agrees she's a catch, but Pablo seems blind to it. Lorenza thinks it's a shame Mariano wasn't in Pablo's place, but Monica has her heart set on Pablo (So Lorenza doesn't really care *who* Monica marries, as long as it's with one of Lorenza's sons.) Augustin promises to talk to Pablo.
Rita promises El Italiano that she will convince La Gata that he's the best option for her. She thanks him for he food and he gives her some money (grudgingly gives it.) He doesn't like to see La Gata hungry. Rita blathers about La Gata's beauty and figure. Pretty like her mother. Her mother went nuts (literally) over some guy and left everything behind. With his voice of an angel he promised the mother everything. I'm tired of Rita's talking. I think she gives El Italiano tips on how to win Esmeralda. Blech.
Augustin talks to Pablo about Esmeralda. He starts talking about social norms and dictums. He's worked hard to get where he is and maintain that position for his children. Pablo knows immediately what dad is about. Dad tries to tell him that the poor are different and their lives are miserable. Pablo has seen it himself, just on the other side of the barranca. He's seen how they live in their jacales and how they spread like a fungus. Pablo says it's not their fault and asks his father not to talk about them like that. They are not a fungus, they are people. Dad disagrees. Those people are nothing, but for Pablo they are everything.

El Refrito
- Los madres make plans for world domination
- El director will try to get El Silencioso's pardon.
- El Pablo loves La Gata.
Lo Nuevo
La Rita tells Jarocha that she found out La Gata can read and write. Jarocha does't see how that's a problem. Well Rita didn't take the kid in to act all finolis (hoity toity), she took her in so she could help. Jarocha gives Rita heck again for making Gata and Centavo go out and beg while she and Inesita live the life. Rita says Inesita was was born to study. That girls burns the midnight oil with her studying (hilariously rendered in Spanish as quemar las pestañas--to burn one's eyelashes.) Speaking of school, Inesita is home from said institution...before the dismissal apparently. Rita asks about her early arrival and Inesita explains she can't go back until Rita talks to the director. The teachers don't like her. They failed her in 5 subjects. They don't teach anything. (Yeah, we're purposely obtuse because we don't want anyone to learn and we live for parent conferences in which we are blamed for all the woes of the child.) Rita will go down to the school and give them a piece of her mind. Pablo and Esme canoodle. She asks if it's true that he likes her as much as she does him. Does he like her as much as if they were....He interrupts to say he loves her like they are novios; with an immense and sincere love. He loves her with all the force of his heart.

I don't know if I'll ever bother recapping anything Don Italiano says again. It all amounts to "I want her! I must have her!" Gross, gross, gross!
I would support that decision. I can't believe his patrons were standing there listening to him spout all that obsessive talk and nobody decided to walk out. Well...I can believe it because that would just be too realistic for a TN, but if I'm standing at the counter listening to that, I'm walking away! Lupe should probably start looking for a new job, because I'm not sure how well he can keep the business running while his boss is busy obsessing.
I've got to rewatch that scene. I got distracted by the disgusting ham-ish looking pizza Lupe was making and then his sauce ladling technique. The things I pay attention to....
Maite & Daniel have lots of chemistry together... loving them so far. And I agree that DA's costuming isn't that flattering but I think it's to make him look younger since I think Pablo is supposed to be around 21-23 years old. Don Italiano makes my stomach feel queasy, obsessing over an 18(?) year old? EEK!

Yeah. Makes sense that they would want him to appear younger. I do hope they dump the diamond pattern jacket though.
They really are a cute couple. One of the most believable pairings I've seen in a long time.

I think Lupe needs to take a night course in bookkeeping or something because if the pizza business is to continue, he will have to be the one to take the reins, since his boss is residing in la-la land. The cabal of Dona Rita and the Italian Stallion is disgusting, misguided, delusional and disturbing.
I see that Esme has improved her dresses while seeking employment, but she needs to get rid of the combat boots and spring for some stylish zapatos.

Sara, I also noticed that Lupe looked like a pro with that pizza sauce ladle!
I keep wondering if that black dress of Gata's is the same one she wore when she was Young Gata.
Dona Rita is a truly disturbing character and her face looks like a skull. Alos the cheap wig doesn't help. Why can't Uni afford better wigs? Over on Telemundo I had the same rant about Chistiane Bach's hair...so phony looking.

I keep wondering if that black dress of Gata's is the same one she wore when she was Young Gata.

I would kill to see Bach's real hair.
I don't get Rita, Jarocha or Esmeralda's costuming at all. All the extras seem to be dressed like regular folks. Down on their luck, sure. But not dressed like fools. What is up with Televisa having no clue about poverty? Why must they make it look so ridiculous. At least Centavo is dressed normally.

Part one is up. I'll work on part two later today.
If I can beat the dead horse some more: I love seeing Maite and Pablo together. There is something about Maite that makes me believe she is in love with every galan I see her with. And that's saying something considering her last one was Pedro Fernandez in Cachito de Cielo (though he is pretty cute!)

Happy that La Gata is starting to pick up and hold my interest. Noticed that "Pablo" is getting some gray hair. Must be all the pressure at home from mama.
What is that filmy garment that Jarocha wears under all her low cut clothing? It covers upper arms, but not shoulders???

I wonder if there will be a storyline where Virginia gets an operation to cure her blindness? She is such a sweetie, crusading for the poor people in the slum, etc. We need to get her a seeing eye dog! Anyone remember that great German Shepherd in "Corazon Valiente"? Maybe he is available...

emeraldrose - it looks like Jarocha is taking stocking and cutting out the crotch and legs and wearing them like an undershirt. Waaaay back in my ballet days the girls would wear them under the sleeveless leotards to keep arms warm.
On one thing, I'm going to have to agree with Pablo's mom...if he wants to be treated like a man, he needs to act like it. To me, that means, he doesn't keep living off of Mami and Papi. They're hateful people, he doesn't like their attitude, and yeah, if he wants to live under their roof, he's going to have to keep putting up with their crap. So get out, Pablo! Be free! That Masters in dramaturgy and literature isn't going to make a big difference in your income if Mexico's anything like the US. Just get out!
Rita's objection to him seems to be that he's...too rich? Like Don Italiano is just the right amount of rich where he has money, but he could still be interested in Esmeralda, but Pablo's SO rich, he must be using her? Once again, I say to Rita--if your idea of "rich" is Don Italiano, you're aiming too low.
Inesita, like Mariano, isn't studying.

Actually, I can't believe Pablo's parents are ok with the Master's in Dramaturgy and Literature. Most parents these days push their kids into more "useful" and "lucrative" pursuits. I guess I don't get the rich mentality. lol.
About to start working on part 2.

Monica's mom doesn't like it, for sure. Lorenza seems to be operating under the assumption that they'll just keep supporting him and/or someday he'll be a famous playwright/poet/artist.
Yeah. Now that I think of it, even if he doesn't become famous/self sufficient, that's probably fine with mom because that just means he'll me more dependent and controllable.
And I mean to comment on this earlier today, David...
The cabal of Dona Rita and the Italian Stallion is disgusting, misguided, delusional and disturbing.
Great line and so disturbingly true!

I love how Rita's in so much pain that she needs medicine so she can go out begging, but running after Esmeralda and scolding her is some kind of natural painkiller.
Silencioso keeps wanting revenge, well, Lorenza's so stuck up that merely getting out of jail and telling everyone how the family got their money would be enough to "ruin" her, by her own standards. Death is too easy for her. Humiliation is a better anvil.

Thanks bunches Sara.
The fashionista in me noticed. "Esmeralda looks for work. This time she's a little cleaner and maybe her wardrobe choice is a smidge better (just a smidge.)"
Never been a violent person but someone needs to push Rita in a ditch & sew Lorenza's lips shut.
Augustin - shut up woman
El Italiano - nothing a kick in the meatballs won't cure
Esmeralda - hmmm, wonder if they need help at the cosmetic counter at Nordstroms
Pablo - my gps keeps telling me to turn around and get out of here
Rita - skull and crossbones
Lorenza - “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." What a crock.
Monica - is it because I'm too clean

Everything I just wrote went poof. UGGGAH!!!
Sarah I like football too. I think that it's the greatest sport ever invented but when the 49ers, Green Bay, the NE Patriots
or any other team comes up against Maite the raven-haired goddess, well football looses punto. There's no competition.
Leticia A said that Maite and Daniel have lots of chemistry and she is so right. Ana Brenda [another raven-haired goddess] and Daniel had that same chemistry
in CI. Even when they were arguing
the chemistry was there and that's why even when the writers took the story South and nearly killed it, their explosive chemistry still remained. All was not lost although I admit that the writers should have been punished for that one. We all hope that it won't happen here.
The longest about to kiss moment ever? I agree. I was nearly yelling at my tv, GO FOR IT! GO FOR IT! Esmeralda---give him a kiss so sweet as well as so powerful that no matter what his bruja mother says or Blonde does,
he won't even think about anything
but you. Make him remember that kiss for the rest of his life.
Sara---Thanks for getting the weekend off to a great start.
more later.

The last part is finally up. Sorry it took so long. Hubs hogged the TV most of the day watching football.
gringo-I have to say that I like the Daniel/Maite chemistry more than the Daniel/Ana Brenda chemistry. But Maite is my absolute fave, so maybe that's why I give their chemistry more points.

Jarocha the neighborhood hottie.
I don't remember who wrote that but I still laugh every time I think about it. The hottie of the garbage dump. LOL
J in Oregon---Great idea. If we could borrow Principe for a night out on the patio. The cat would have a blast.
WOW!!! Esmeralda gets beat up on the hillside by Daniel's big mouthed bruja momma and then she goes home and gets beat up by the old hag RITA. POOR BABY!! She's caught between a rock and a hard place.
Noooo, now Daniel's dad is going to get involved. Can't Esme get a break? She's caught between a rock and a hard place. Give the poor girl some peace PLEASE!!!
Pizzaria de Creep. I like that. The name should stick.
Bruja mom swears on her life that will never happen. Are the writers giving us a clue about Bruja's demise?
Tofie---Sew the bruja's lips closed? Sounds good to me.
Esmeralda at the cosmetic counter
at Nordstrom's? Well, she needs a job. Let her have a shot at it.
Tofie---Every time I see Mariano I think about his membership in the Hair Club for Men. Thanks to you, that's now embedded in my mind.

Gracias, Sara...I know you worked hard to wrest the TV from your husband's grasp...I mean...to bring this recap about :D
"All El Italiano cares about is what Esme thinks of him." Probably the same as the rest of us...that he's a skeevy dude who needs to fall into a pit somewhere, never to be found.
gringo, I have to admit to calling Jarocha the hottie of the dump. She's got her little something-something, you know?

What nasty excuses for a human being, Rita and Lorenza. Both grooming children to fulfill their fantasies and willing to use any manipulation to achieve that fantasy. In a way Lorenza much worse for Pablo is her own son, however his living arrangement will be much more comfortable and Monica not an ogre.
Rita is despicable and purposefully provided just enough to keep Esmeralda alive so she could sell her to the highest bidder as a concubine when the girl old enough. If it weren't pizza man it would be some other.
What ruins it for both Rita and Lorenza is two young people falling for each other and escaping the holding pen.

You're welcome. I'm kind of glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed it. She has several different ones.
tofie- I love your list. A good kick in the meatballs is just what El Italiano needs!
J in O- I would love for Virginia to get a big, attacking seeing-eye dog. And want him to attack Rita and the Italian Meatball first!
gringo - I am counting the hours to the next episode.

I'm counting the hours till I see Esmeralda with a clean face. I so want to take a tissue and a little spittle and go to town. Lord, if she can't keep her face clean I bet she never brushes her teeth.
Ha!
I can't wait for the great makeover either! Maite is so pretty, but the hair she's sporting right now is insane!

Thanks so much, Sara, for that snappy recap which you gave us under the duress of football season.
I am definitely going to keep watching because between the terrific, funny recaps and tofie's one liners, I want to be at this party despite the depressing dump and the evil brujas. Tofie....I want to sit at the cool table in the cafeteria with you. I especially enjoyed your suggestion to " kick him in the meatballs." Obsessed Mari-ONO must have the best pizza in town for the patrons to endure his ranting about a teenager...sicky.

Tofie...I had to employ a lot of suspended disbelief to watch that first kiss while thinking about Miss Kitty's lack of dental hygiene considering she always has a dirty face suggesting she does not have access to water...soap...toothpaste...mouthwash.....well, I need to keep that disbelief suspended.

Susanlynn - those fishnet stocking shirts look pretty cool and hip, too. I almost want to buy some hot pink fishnets.
For the most part I find this to be a complete escape from reality, but every time we have the dump scenes I am reminded that there are indeed people who live like that and I find it terribly sad.
I know this is a remake of a refrito of a combination of other remakes and all the characters and actors are pretty much the same, but I like it. If it is some iteration of Cinderella, I will eat it up every time.

About Miss Kitty's wardrobe...Couldn't Pablo ask his sweet sister for a pair of leggings, a top, a pair of flats, and some undies ? She seems to be very kind and concerned about the pobres.

Hmmm. Normally we speak of beanies. Perhaps for this one we should wear our panty hose shirts of suspended belief?

Sara..Somehow , I don't think that I can work the cut up stocking look into my usual wardrobe ...dresses and skirts and capris and tops in the summer and slacks and sweaters in the winter.
Like you, I watch the telenovelas as an escape from reality , so the dump is not helping me escape. However, Caraycaray usually does. Rock on, recappers.
I also agree that the chemistry between Maite and Daniel is stronger than the chemistry between Dan and Ana.

Sara, thanks for your wonderful talent and hard work in putting this recap up.
We've been out of town, so it was hard to keep up with the weekend comments.
Like you, I am offended by spoiled, enabled, lazy students blaming their inevitable failing on the teachers. Inesita will wiggle out of this one and go on to bigger and worse things.
Susanlynn, I too think La Gata's failure to get a job have a lot to do with her appearance at the job interview, and your suggestion to get clothes from Pablo's sister is wonderful.
5ft, I must have missed some plot development! I understood that Silencio was in jail on a bum rap for (?) murder, but I didn't realize he was the key to Pablo's parents illegally amassing their fortune. Goody!
Thanks, again Sara.
David

Susanlynn, the cool kids wouldn't let me near their table and kinda on the lunatic fringe. If you can think of the weirdest girl in your class, well that wasn't me, I was the next weirdest but a cheerleader, go figure. If anybody can tolerate my drivel, lets drivel together.
Tofie...you have put me to thinking about the weirdest girl in my class...no way you could be like her...she was more odd than weird and humorless, unlike you who have a most excellent sense of humor. Hmmm...the second weirdest girl....perhaps my friend Mary Jane (that is not a euphemism..heh) who was also a cheerleader..and a beauty...but crazzzy and a bit wild. Or maybe it was me. Anyhoo...I want to be at your table. ...that's the fun, snarky table. P.s. I am always friends with the fun, snarky chicks whether at school or at work. When I get together with the teachers who were my best friends when I taught in high school, I always feel as though I WENT to high school with them ...fine line there...they are very fun and snarky.

Uh, no I was odd and you are right there is a distinction. I didn't eat boogers in class or anything but was crazy, not wild, but almost anything would come out of my mouth and frequently misunderstood or so far out there everybody called me twilight zone or moonbeam. Only saving grace, I guess, though more trouble that it was worth, the boys wouldn't leave me be.
Oh gosh Tofie, crazy and wild things coming out of your mouth when you were younger? Go figure!

I bet someone on Pinterest has an entire board of "panty hose shirts of suspended belief." Te lo juro!
Daniel Arenas strikes me as the kind of guy it would be difficult to NOT have any chemistry with. And I'm not just saying that because he's cute. And has a nice smile. And I'm into guys. OK, maybe I am.
David, we're all assuming that Silenciso was set up by Pablo's dad, or that he at least had a hand in making sure Silencioso got a ridiculously long sentence for murder in self-defense. It could still turn out to be a big misdirect, but the're pointing giant flaming arrows at it.

So you think the Dona Rita's son's jailbreak was a red herring?
His physical appearance did not have any of the hallmarks of the TN 'bad guy' and I wonder if he was set up to get busted...there was that creepy guy with a stocking cap and a big bag who skulked after Dona Rita when she went to meet her son.

Was the creepy guy in the hat an undercover cop, maybe? Keeping an eye on Rita because they figured her son would go back there? The reason I thought that was that both he and a cop in a uniform were holding her back when they arrested her son. I wouldn't think some random guy would just jump in and help, or that the cops would let him.
I definitely think the point of Tilico's jailbreak was to bring up that Pablo's parents are scared of someone that his dad helped put in jail coming after them, but even though there was that fakeout of Tilico not being that guy, I still feel like there's more to his story. Jarocha was pretty nervous about him being back, and I think she mentioned something about him coming after Gata.

I just want to make it clear that I was in no way making fun or trying to make fun with my comment about the neighborhood hottie and laughing about it la Diva 5ft said that she came up with the hottie of the dump title and I find it hard to believe that there would be a garbage dump hottie. It is terrible that there are people in the world that have to live like that--the Philippines, India etc.
I read that La Gata was actually filmed at/in the large garbage dump which services Mexico City.
So I have been wondering if the shacks that we see the people living in are actually their dwellings or are Esme's and the other peoples homes Televisa staging?
Either way, the smell must be terrible while sorting through the trash to find something to sell and worse, actually living and sleeping there.
Yes Gata usually has a dirty face
and I don't think that she has a good toothbrush and toothpaste unless she possibly had found some. Has she been to the dentist lately? Daniel must be some super great guy.
Tonight Daniel takes her for lunch
at the mansion and she gets thrown out by momma bruja. Sara and I are counting down the hours.
In closing, I can't wait for bruja's downfall. Maybe she will end up out begging on the streets before this is all over.

Gringo- This is from an article in people. Maite is talking about the (foolish) fact that they did not vaccinate her for typhoid and such before filming began in the dump. There are no sets. The homes there are where people live.
"Podría parecer que estamos contando algo que no existe, pero la realidad es que estamos en un espacio que nos permite tener autenticidad total. No hay un set, nada falso, todo es ciento por ciento real y auténtico", asintió Perroni.
Lo más tedioso de la filmación, admitió la actriz, es lo mucho que tarda trasladarse del foro en San Ángel al municipio de Nezahualcóyotl, México, en donde está localizado el basurero.
"Hacemos como hora y media de camino todos los días. Entonces, es estar mentalizada que al día estás tres horas en el coche, de ida y de regreso", concluyó Maite.

Here are real life pics from that garbage dump: http://www.revistamilmesetas.com/bordo-de-xochiaca-el-tiradero
If you Google image search "Basurero de Nezahualcóyotl, México", you'll see plenty of pics. In none of them are women wearing skirts. Everyone is wearing long sleeve, long pants, and even hats to protect themselves. It was rather foolish and dangerous for the producers to have Maite crawling around in all that with no vaccinations and no clothing protection. I would have refused.

Sara - Muchas gracias. Great recap.
Scratching my head as to why La Gata still feels like she owes Doña Rita now that she knows the old woman set her up with Don Italiano.
I would love to hear outtakes of what the locals thought about Maite's outfit.

If they wanted to be so accurate and realistic why didn't they dress the characters normally?
