La Gata #31 Mon 10/13/14 If you're stupid and you know it clap your hands!
Recap done!
The truth comes out:
Jarocha shows Pablo the video Rita made where she tells him that she along with his parents worked to keep him and Esmeralda apart and he finally learns that the babies are his. Jarocha asks him what he plans to do now that he knows the truth and poor spineless Monica wants to know if this new revelation means the wedding is off (dude, someone buy this girl some self respect!). Pablo tells her he has to speak with Esmeralda and runs across the street to confront his old love.
Pablo and Esmeralda are now face to face, he tells her that he knows the truth and then he makes the mortal mistake of asking Esmeralda if the kids are his. Esmeralda tells him that the fact he knows the truth changes nothing, what does he expect her to do? Drop everything and run back to him? Naw homie, that's not going to happen, because she explains, their problems are theirs alone, and it was not his parents and the lies that tore them apart, it was lack of trust, and she once told him he would regret the unkind words he had about the babies, he should be satisfied to know that the kids are hers and she's enough for them.
Pablo then rushes home and demands that his mother tell the truth, did she work to keep him and Esmeralda apart? Oh, and he asks this with Monica standing there, what the hell is wrong with this girl? Did she lack oxygen at birth? She knows Pablo does not love her, she knows her parents don't want her to marry him, she's afraid of being stuck in a loveless marriage so why the hell is she still around?! Pablo tells her to go home, he will go speak with her later after he sorts things out with his mother. Once she leaves Lorenza tells Pablo that everything Rita said was a lie, how dare he question his family who have loved and cared for him his whole life? Pablo makes her swear on her children's lives that she is telling the truth, Lorenza swears she did nothing wrong, oh man, something tells me Lorenza will pay dearly for that promise. Pablo believes her, in the words of officer Cooper from Southland "you are too stupid to live."
Across the road Esmeralda talks to herself, she's hurt that Pablo still doubts that the children are his, Damian comes out and comforts her.
The phone call and the meeting:
Fernando calls Agustin, he tells him he has a way out for him and sets up a meeting. At the meeting he tells him he will drop his lawsuit, and will even issue a press release saying he lied about Agustin, all Agustin has to do is prevent Pablo from getting married. Agustin tells him that's not going to happen and that he will fight all the charges against him and win.
Agustin later tells Lorenza that he was scared before but not anymore, Fernando has a weak spot (Esmeralda) and he will use that against him, he will fight the charges, will act as his own attorney and he will win the case. Good luck with that you thief!
Kitty visits the dump:
Esmeralda visits Fela and tells her that she feels sad and alone in the world, she has no one. Fela tells her not to be sad, but that if she wants they can cry together. She also tells Esmeralda to take care of her kids and to defend them like a wild cat. I don't like all these mentions of something happening to the kids, it makes me very uneasy. Oh, Garabato made it into Felas house, he asks about Ines but Kitty tells him she is also looking for her.
Ines in Jail:
The little criminal also known as Ines is in jail, she refuses to give up her crew and is told that unless she snitches she will end up facing the charges alone and that she will spend a good part of her life in jail. A woman in the cell in front of her tells her to tell the truth before she finds herself alone, old and in prison
Fight,fight,fight:
While Esmeralda is at the dump Pablo goes over for a visit, he wants to talk to Fernando but instead gets Damian, and because Pablo is a moron he starts the conversation by saying he wants to talk to the ring leader of the circus, not the monkey, oooh them fighting words! And a fight does in fact start, Damian opens the gate and goes to town on Pablo, Mariano is standing there looking like watching the fight is fun, he finally restrains Pablo which leads to Damian punching Pablo in the face and oh my god was that glorious! Do it again Damian, do it again, weeeeeeeeeeee!
Finally Kitty shows up and the fight is broken up but not before Pablo throws some insults her way (jackass). Back at home Mariano and Pablo get into it, Pablo tells Mariano that he does not know how he (Pablo) feels because he has never been in love and Mariano is all like "b*tch please".
Ines needs help:
Ines calls Kitty for help and Fernando offers his lawyer to her, they go to the jail where Kitty tells Ines that Rita is ill and Ines says she's to blame for being a bad egg (yep), Kitty tells her she will help her. I say let the criminal rot!
Join us tomorrow when stuff happens! Oh and can someone please get Damian some better clothes? Brown is not his color.

I felt like last night flew by! I'm looking forward to the recap!
I like your title a lot. This crew would get callouses on their hands if they followed your advice, though.
Yeah, what's with Augie negotiating from a point of weakness? Just a few episodes ago he was ready to blow his brains out (not my favorite outcome; go to jail, dude), and now he's all haughty? Better have your tailor measure you for a jump suit made out of fine fabric before the Federales give you one made of vulgar cotton.
This whole family is so beyond the pale when it comes to reasoning that I think they should check for contaminants in the water supply.
David
"dude, someone buy this girl some self respect!" Yes, please! Combine that with Pablo telling her to get out and he'd come by later to let her know if they're still getting married! As if it's all about him...oh, wait, she's been letting it be all about him from the beginning. She's chastising Lorenza for keeping up the fiction that Pablo's in luuuuuuurve with her, but going along with it anyway. Come on, Monica! Locate your spine!
I still stand by what I said yesterday. t was very risky giving Pablow that recording to hold. If he had become angry and had smashed it, well???
Esmeralda and Pablow as the dumbest? Ask Monica that question.
Does that mean our wedding is off?
Eli---I don't think that Monica will be able to buy any self respect in any of the nice stores that she shops in.
David---You're good. Augie had better get used to cheaper materials such as "vulgar cotton."
LOL---David what a bummer for Augie that would be. He hasn't touched or worn vulgar cotton for so long I don't think that he knows what it is.
Tofie---You are starting to influence me. When I saw Lorenza last night, all I could think of was your list. Lorenza---mule

Damian displayed some nice footwork during the bout. No idea where this is going with him. Is Esmeralda like a little sister to him or something else?
Can't wait for Fernando to wipe up the courtroom floor with Augie. I've been wondering if Fernando would go to the dark side with his venganza, but he proved above all he puts Esmeralda's happiness first.
I'm still laughing over that one.
Augie's got a plan. I cant wait for to hear it.
Lawyer or no lawyer if Ines clams up, she'll be in the slammer for her best years. Marriage and a family? No way. If she does rat out the gang, her life won't be worth much, how long will she live? You really did it Ines. You should have stayed in school.
must see tv tonight.

I hate what the cop is doing to Ines. She deserves to do some time for that theft and the previous ones, but that doesn't mean the "victim" shouldn't also have to answer for trying to rape her. I also agree with her cellmate...just tell the truth already! She's protecting a bunch of guys who don't deserve it.
Thank you: quick and witty re-telling of way wit-less events. I caught up to the latest ep thru Hulu. Haven't had a chance to read the recaps. . I'm sure thery're all great. This is a fun novella: the leads are purty, Dona Rita (Mother of Skeletor) is a refreshing villain: I just look at it as a comedy! What a perfect title! It WILL be sad and sorry though if anybody kidnaps those cutie pie twins! Thanks again,
Lila
My comments: Mariano is not cut out to be a fighter, he waved his arms ineffectually at Damian but didn't manage to deflect any of the whooping off Pablo. Later in the mansion, when Pablo swings at Mariano, he backs up and throws himself on the couch.
Gata: you said it girl! She's not backing down and I agree with her, Pablo has already lost his chance to patch things up when he has to ask if the children are his.
Also--I heard Monica say to Pablo "so the wedding's not off, right?" as he views Dona Rita's video confession. Then Pablo tells Monica to go away, give him some space till he figures out what to do. Then I must have looked away or had a little moment in the haze, but suddenly here's Pablo saying maybe they'll move to New York, and Monica lounging along the back of the couch, and telling him they are going to be the happiest couple in the world. Wait...what? Did I really miss a transitional scene of such importance?

"what the hell is wrong with this girl?"
"leads to Damian punching Pablo in the face and oh my god was that glorious! Do it again Damian, do it again, weeeeeeeeeeee!"
I'm stupefied, not because Pablo did something idiotic, he didn't, he was just being Pablo, but I cannot fathom a world that in which Esmeralda would love this turd. Pablo is not stupid, nor naive but flat ass worthless.
Agree with you 5ft latina, that creep that was stabbed needs to answer to the attempted rape. I hope they press this issue further.
Tofie, I don't know why but your comment about pablo being flat ass worthless made me laugh so much. Even though the actor is very fine, I noticed Pablo kind of looks like a caveman because he is always hunching and has his brows furrowed. I have this vision of him in a loin cloth like a caveman with a flat ass.
Does the tn world not know about paternity test. Esme is as dumb as Monica for still being in love with caveman.
I don't understand mariano's game plan. Make sure Esme and pablo stays separated and then make his move? his parents still won't approve.
J- Yeah. I think I even heard Pablo say out loud to Low that he wasn't going to marry Monica, and then like in the next scene they were talking about a wedding in 2 days. Que?!
I'm glad Ughie didn't take the deal, because Fern was getting a major lemon in that deal. Pablo is so not worth it. Are we going to talk about the giant snake making its way slowly down the tree behind Ughie while he spoke with Low? Just a bit of symbolism there. :)
It's already been mentioned but "...Damian punching Pablo in the face and oh my god was that glorious! Do it again Damian, do it again, weeeeeeeeeeee!" deserves to be highlighted again.
I also liked "Join us tomorrow when stuff happens!"
I know this thing is full of cliches and our galan is dumb as dirt, but it's highly entertaining. It can feel like a comedy at times. I think Lila is right about that.
BTW, Welcome Lila!! Glad to have you with us!

Even a few good comments referred to things that actually happened in the episode. As always, most of us get our fix by focusing on snarky ways to call Pablo the scum of the earth, too stupid to live, does not deserve the oxygen he breathes etc.
