La Gata #29- Thu 10/9 - La Afrenta
Silencioso reminds Esme that everything he does is for her to get Pablo back. From across the street, Pablo watches. Esme accuses Silencioso of trying to use her to get his revenge on Pablo and his family. He says that Augie has to "responder" (answer) for his crimes. Pablo has to answer to Esme for his crimes as well. He knows it was difficult for her to tell Pablo she wasn't going to see him again, but he hopes she'll feel differently tomorrow. Esme says she won't change her mind. It hurts too much to hurt Pablo. Silencioso hugs Esme to comfort her and Pablo says he really loves Esme, but she's just a tramp.
Monica tries to call him. She apparently had been listening to the audiobook of "How to Develop Your Telekinetic Powers" and summoned the phone to her side (it was previously on the coffee table). When she can't reach Pablo, she calls Lorenza, who tells her not to talk to Pablo right now because he's going through a rough time…he saw "that woman" and he's feeling confused and wants to break off the engagement. Monica starts getting weepy and Lorenza keeps up the fiction that no one believes--that Pablo loves her...but he's obsessed with that woman. Lorenza tells her to avoid Pablo's calls, turn off her cell, and Lorenza will email her when she's got Pablo's strings back on. "You'll marry Pablo, or my name isn't Lorenza de Martinez Negrete!" She's said this before, which makes me think that's not her name.
Pablo and Lorenza trade tearful glances across the living room and Pablo goes to her for a hug.
Silencioso tells Esme that Pablo will be back. "Nah, he's too proud." Silencioso promises her that Pablo won't get married…he'll wring his neck before he lets that happen…although, he has another way to stop the wedding.
Rita sits Fela down to explain to her that she needs to get better. Rita is worried about her own health and impending mortality. She's got a lot of baggage…what if she doesn't unload it before she dies? Fela tells Rita to pull up a seat and start spilling the frijoles. Rita says she wanted to tell Fernando that "you, his Blanquita" was alive, but she screwed it up by getting busted for trying to steal a candlestick. Fela latches on to the truly important part of that statement and tells Rita she shouldn't have been trying to steal a candlestick. Seriously, Fela? FOCUS! Rita says her news was more important, but now Fernando's mad, so…anyway, when she does finally tell him, the most important thing is for Fela to be better. Fela says she'll do everything possible and her doll baby will help. "No, Fela! To get better, you need to understand that that's a doll. I'm going to help you get better. I'm going to give you some news that's going to change you. You started to get sick because many years ago, they stole your daughter…some bad people who wanted to see you doing badly. I'm going to give you back your daughter. Your daughter is alive, and she's not that doll…your daughter is Esmeralda, La Gata." Fela smiles.
Garabato and Ines hang out in the pool shack, plotting their next score. Some guy who Garabato addresses as patrón (boss) comes up to hassle him about being left out of the loop. Garabato is cowed and promises he's going to stay with the team. Ines tries to comfort him, but he rejects her.
"You understand me, Fela? Esmeralda is your daughter. Her name was Renata. I changed it to protect her." Esme walks in with shopping bags and Rita says they were just talking about her. Rita notices Gata's mood and can't understand how Gata can be sad when she has "everything" now. "Because before, when I had nothing, I had everything, but I didn't know it. We were happy and we didn't know it." Rita thinks that's stupid. She always knew Gata would end up how she is…the cards told her. Fela calls Esme her beautiful daughter. Esme thinks Fela's being all crazy again, but Fela begs Esme not to leave her behind. Esme's not getting it and Rita isn't helping. She reminds Rita to take good care of Fela and leaves. "See what I mean? You have to get better so we can tell your daughter the truth and she'll believe you." Fela cries.
Pablo writes his sad tale about how life kept two lovers apart, Enriqueta and Julio, and then starts thinking about how maybe they didn't fight hard enough, and how he and Esme lived the same story. Mariano shows up. Pablo says he's ready to throw everything away to be with Esme. He hates seeing her with the old guy. Mariano says if he doesn't forget her, she'll destroy him. He storms back out of the room and Pablo says he just can't do that.
Mariano thinks to himself that if he told Esme he was in love with her, she'd leave the old guy. Then he curses her for bewitching all three of them. He can't forget her any more than Pablo can.
Pablo calls Casa Silencioso and Mercedes brings the phone up to Esme. He freaks out as soon as he hears her say his name, but doesn't hang up. He says he wants to apologize, but she says there's nothing to apologize for. "Welllll…I didn't…." "Break off the engagement? Please, like I'm not used to you breaking your promises!" "OK, you're right." Esme, like much of Viewerville, is really getting tired of these conversations that go nowhere. She doesn't believe in his love for her, despite his swearing. Jarocha comes in with the babies and Esme tells him to hurry it up. Finally he asks about the kids…how many are there? "Oh, sure, you want to hang up to go take care of the children of--" She warns him not to go there, 'cause anyone who messes with her kids messes with her. "Well, I hate them, do you hear me!" Do you hear that, Pablo? I believe that's the sound of claws being unsheathed.
Rita talks to herself and muses about how when you're old and alone, that's what you do. She doesn't know what to do about Blanca.
Esme tells Pablo she'll make him regret those words. He's jealous (wah!) of anything that separates them. "Well, they're your babies too, you jackass!" Oh, wait sorry, that was me who said that. Esme tells him they're her kids and they're all she has left after some soulless, immoral, mama's boy (I might have embellished there) knocked her up and left her and has never cared about them…but he didn't know that she's woman enough to take care of them on her own. So, Pablo had better not call her again until he's ready to apologize--and not to her, but to them! Esme tells Jarocha she's never going to forgive Pablo.
Pablo comes barreling down the stairs as Mariano is making a movie date with someone. He tells Mariano he lost the only woman he's ever loved. He's just a hunka hunka burning…idiot. Mariano tells him chicks don't like puppets. Pablo has to do something to get her back. He tells Mariano he insulted her kids. Mariano is surprised (at what? That she mentioned the babies to him?). Pablo says he unleashed all his anger at her and the world on the babies instead. He wishes they were his and Mariano says they aren't. "She told me some jackass abandoned them and never cared for them. Can you imagine? Anyone who abandons his kids deserves to go to hell!" Mariano says they can't judge. Pablo wants to go apologize and be the father those kids never had. Mariano calls him stupid and tells him to break it off with her before he goes completely nuts.
Esme tells Meche what Pablo said about the kids and that she never wants to see Pablo again. Meche thinks this whole revenge thing is nuts. The kids will be talking soon and asking who their father is and why she's getting revenge on him. Meche tells Esme that soon Silencioso will have Pablo's dad thrown in jail, all their goods will be taken from them, and Esme will still be where she is. Esme knows people assume that she's Silencioso's *ahem* special friend. Meche jumps on that, saying a woman has to guard her honor. Damian asks what's going on and Esme says she doesn't think she should have seen Pablo. "Oh, please, it's what you wanted most in life…or am I wrong?"
Pablo tells Mariano that he has to go break up with Monica, then go apologize to Esme. He doesn't care if it means he'll get kicked out of the house. Mariano threatens Pablo with being cut off from the family and Monica, but Pablo doesn't care. Pablo whines that his parents maaaaade him get engaged to Monica. Mariano says Monica has been the only victim in this because Pablo "made" her fall for him. Pablo says he's going, and if he ends up dying, better. "Death would be the best solution for my life." Mariano calls him a coward. Well, actually, his melodramatic invoking of death notwithstanding, this is probably the bravest thing Pablo's done in a while. Assuming he goes through with it, he'll be acting with some honesty and integrity for the first time in years.
Damian chastises Esme for thinking it would be easy to overcome all of Pablo's upbringing so quickly. Esme doesn't want to go through with this plan anymore and plans to tell Silencioso herself. Meche tells Damian that what Silencioso has done has destroyed Esme's heart. All Damian says to her is not to prejudge and for that, he gets told not to speak to her in that "tono de suficiencia" (prideful tone). She then goes on to say that while she should have put a stop to this before, there's still time to fix it and she's going to pack up her stuff and move back into "her" house, where she can live with dignity. Honestly, y'all, I tried really hard to understand her thought process, but she's as bad as Lorenza…she just goes on a tear and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how she gets from whatever conversation they're actually having to "He's a dirty old man and we should leave." Just like Lorenza, where all conversational roads automatically lead to "Maldita Gata!"
Pablo has decided to go find work with his fancy degrees before either breaking up with Monica or apologizing to HIS children. It's not happening. But he's determined to keep trying to get a job so he can give Esme the life she deserves.
Lorenza tells Eugenia that Pablo and Monica should get married ASAP, that they're in luuuuuuurve, and they've got everything ready. Eugenia asks Lorenza to be honest with her…is Augie having problems? Lorenza brushes that off and asks if they should go shopping for dresses already. "That's up to the kids. And also Roberto. He wants to be sure that Augie's stable." Lorenza says it's just a rumor started by an ex-con. Pablo can't wait to have Monica for his wife. They've loved each other since they were kids. "Monica has, you mean." It's a wedding made by God! They were born for each other! Lorenza must be wearing fireproof pants. Eugenia says she'll talk to her husband.
Damian goes to Silencioso's office to tell him that he and Mercedes are moving out. She won't stay another day if she doesn't know the truth. Silencioso finds her admirable. He can't take it any other way. He understands that she's acting in accordance with her conscience. Damian is glad he doesn't think it's ingratitude. He has to go with her, though. Silencioso won't permit it! "De ninguna manera!" (no way!) He says he'll talk to her. He needs them.
Mercedes says if she can't stop what's going on, she's at least not going to stick around and be an accomplice. Silencioso beats around the bush, which gives Mercedes the opportunity to say that there's no secret he can hold that gives him the right to do what he's doing…and room and board don't give him any right…and he can't make Esme do what she's doing! Esme's suffering! She's never going to be a part of that family! Silencioso says Pablo has to marry her, even if later Silencioso kicks him out of there. Esme wants his name for her children. "You can't demand so much of her!" "I told you, I have the right." Since Mercedes doesn't believe in that "right" she's going to leave. More beating around the bush. Silencioso is hurt by Mercedes' suspicions and doubts. He finally caves and says in defending Esme, he's defending his own honor because she's his daughter. Mercedes can't believe it. Silencioso says he has letters and the testimony of the old woman who took care of her to back it up. Meche is instantly apologetic. Silencioso tells her he has to keep this a secret for longer. She tries to convince him to tell the truth now and Esme walks in after hearing "daughter" and "truth" and wants to know what daughter and what truth.
Carlos tells Virginia that he heard on the radio that Agustin Martinez Negrete sent an innocent man to jail and stole all his stuff and well, a bunch of other stuff. Virginia can't believe it. She wants all this to end. She's scared. Carlos tells her not to think about it. There must be some mistake or a lie to hurt her family. Virginia remembers finding her father in his study and him acting weird and she's scared that it's all true. "I know my father and I don't think he could stand it. He and my mother would rather be dead than face a scandal and without them, I…." Carlos comforts her.
Mercedes tells Silencioso not to discard her advice. Esme asks if his daughter has appeared. "Osorio called to say he's close to finding her." Esme says she's glad for them both and she's sure his daughter will be proud to have a father like him. Esme was actually looking for Meche because one of the maids said she wanted to talk to Esme. She assumes that this news means it's time for them to leave the house.
Mariano comes home from somewhere with a newspaper. He goes into Augie's study, where Augie is drinking again. They stare at each other. Well, that was pointless.
Mercedes tells Esme she's thought about it and there's no reason to go back to Dumpsville. She supports Esme, but she thinks the best thing to do is stay in the house. "Please put yourself in Don Fernando's hands." She's all teary. Silencioso tells Esme he'd rather die than do anything that hurts her. For once, Meche voluntarily leaves them alone. Esme hasn't heard anything from Pablo, but if he's not going to apologize, it's best that he forget her.
Mariano sighs and asks Augie if he has a problem. And if the stuff in the paper is just "amarillismo" (tabloid journalism) then what is Augie worried about? "Who says I'm worried?" Mariano can tell that lately Augie's been acting like he's afraid of something. Why is he bothering to read the article when he says it's all crap? Mariano offers Augie his help. "You? Help me?" Mariano says he's been irresponsible in the past, but he can't just stand aside when something serious is going on. He doesn't think someone would make up gossip about someone so prestigious. He doesn't doubt Augie's honor, but Augie's name is his name too and he can't deny Mariano the right to defend him from a "calumnia" (slander). Augie says he can handle it alone. Once again, he's going to deny Mariano's request to help him because Mariano is nothing more than an "inútil" (useless person; good-for-nothing). "I'm more capable than you think!" "I don't need anyone's help, much less yours." Augie tells Mariano not to even mention the idea of "inmiscuirte" (interfering) in his affairs. He kicks Mariano out of his office and Mariano glares resentfully.
Virgina wishes she could take her father's place so he wouldn't have to go through this. Carlos is sure everything will be fine because the father of someone with a heart as good as Virginia's can't be a bad person. Ay, Carlos. I wish that were true. He threatens to break the face of anyone who says different. Virginia laughs. Carlos says she's got his complete support and he's not going to judge her father and he'll be on the side of whoever loves Virginia and whoever she loves. So help me, if this mess breaks up Virginia and Carlos, I can't even come up with a scary enough threat!
Meatball passes by Virginia and Carlos' location. He thinks he can find out from Carlos where Esme is so he can kidnap her. He thinks Carlos will cough up her location in exchange for a small pizza. Yes, really. A small pizza.
Pablo meets Mariano for coffee. Serious coffee. Pablo has only been reading the employment section of the paper. When Mariano says there's been news about their dad in the paper and it's something "turbio" (shady), Pablo says it can't be about their dad then. Because he's perfect. Mariano says he's afraid of Gata's "protector" and of her. Pablo says he loves her and he's going to fight for her.
Tomorrow: Mariano pressures; Rita confesses; Jarocha delivers.

Meatball passes by Virginia and Carlos' location. He thinks he can find out from Carlos where Esme is so he can kidnap her. He thinks Carlos will cough up her location in exchange for a small pizza. Yes, really. A small pizza.
Pablo meets Mariano for coffee. Serious coffee. Pablo has only been reading the employment section of the paper. When Mariano says there's been news about their dad in the paper and it's something "turbio" (shady), Pablo says it can't be about their dad then. Because he's perfect. Mariano says he's afraid of Gata's "protector" and of her. Pablo says he loves her and he's going to fight for her.
Tomorrow: Mariano pressures; Rita confesses; Jarocha delivers.
Next: Episode 30

Does anyone else think that Mariano actually knows EVERYTHING? I mean, he just keeps giving off this "I only asked you to see what you would say" vibe. But if he does know everything, then what is he playing at?
Pablo, on the other hand, knows nothing. I don't understand why he needs to get a job BEFORE he either breaks off his engagement or apologizes. I guess he's thinking he can't apologize without breaking off the engagement or he won't look sincere and if he breaks off the engagement his mom will kick him out of the house...and since he doesn't have a single friend in the world who will let him couch surf while he finds a job that means he needs a job first before he can say "I'm sorry I said I hate your kids. I really don't mean that. I want to be the father they never had. And by the way that other guy sounds like a total tool." Yeah. Makes perfect sense. Definitely want to worry about having a roof over your head before you apologize for being a jackass.
So, basically, Meche only thinks Don Fer was using Esme because they weren't related by blood, but now that they are, it's totes ok?
Rita couldn't have just said, while Esme was standing right there, "It's true! She's your mother!"? I will put up with her only because it looks like she wasn't exaggerating the whole "mortality" thing.
I want Ines, Garabato, and Meatball go off to some other show where I no longer have to see them. Lupe can stay. He can move into Casa Silencioso and be their chef. He probably cooks better than Meatball anyway and he's a somewhat decent guy.
Ok. I'm done ranting...for now...someone else will probably remind me about what else is bugging me.

La 5ft, thank you thank you! Thursday night is visiting vet (veterinarian) night and I always miss the last half so your detailed and funny recap is my safety net!!!
Anon 11:50, I raise a glass too, your Pablo impersonation is better than Pablo's original.
By the way has anyone noticed that awesome gigantic abstract painting in Pablo's room? I love it.
So someone remind me why Esme hasn't told Pablo the children are his? Fernando wants her to withhold that information because...I can't think why. It would certainly advance the cause of breaking up Pablo's engagement. I just don't get the thought process these people are following.

Gracias J! I don't think that's part of Don Fer's plan, she just assumes he knows because Mariano knows. Because Mariano has passed himself off as this honest guy. Still...why not throw that in his face every chance she gets? And why, tonight, was she acting like he actually didn't know and just throwing the hints out there?
That is a nice painting. It makes me think of bars...maybe it's supposed to be some kind of commentary on Pablo's life in that house.

You mean prison-bars or go-drinkin bars? Plus it is off centre on that little wall. I think they are using it to cover something up.

Thanks, KAt. Pablow is on my last nerve. Let me use some negative prefixes..immature, insensitive, irresponsible, illogical . Pablow is a dim bulb and a Mommy's boy. Grow up.

Esme, of course, doesn't know that Pablo didn't get her letters or emails that Ughie paid to intercept. Pablo's dumb butt has swallowed all of the "she's having someone else's child" nonsense that his parents spewed and paid Rita to get the crusty Italiano to lie about when Pablo went looking for her. Forget the fact that he KNOWS that Esme gets creeped out by Salami-breath and would never become "his mujer" and that the forged letter Esme supposedly wrote to him telling him she was in love with and marrying a "poor but honorable" man and moving away is a totally different story. His pea brain can only hold one thing at a time, so it would never occur to him to question anything or compare stories, so he believes she stopped loving him rather quickly and that the babies are not his. Esmeralda, on the other hand doesn't know that HE doesn't know that the twins are his. She thinks he's just a canalla who played with her and now doesn't want to recognize the children as his, so it makes sense that she wants HIM to mention them without any prompting from her.
They're both idiots who have been seeing each other for almost a month and haven't discussed the "whys" and "how could yous" in detail! That would be too much to ask.

Thanks Kat. How in the world do you make sense of this illogical, improbable drama? It's hard for me to "FOCUS!"
I give up, not on watching, but on taking it with any kind of seriousness (I know my bad). Last night, mid way through, (Pablo referring to himself as a professional then going on interviews in jeans, sneakers and a jean jacket with what looked like prisoner numbers on the back) I reverted to my child brain and laughed as a kid watching a Saturday morning cartoon.
Pablo - that's what I get for dating a single mom
Rita - shut up, I'm making it up as I go
Carlos - get to know her parents then get back to us
Mariano - no one takes a dandy serious
Augie - no, Kim Kardashian's baby is not mine
Mercedes - what to harp on now
Meatball - grease for brains, the whole dump knows where she is
Fernando - reaccess your priority
Fela - but, what do I do with the doll

So throughout the show there was this distracting #nocheexplosiva thing on the bottom left of my screen.
LIES!! ALL LIES!! There was NOTHING explosiva or impactante about this episode.
The recap is a different matter. The recap is fabulous and so are the comments.
"He's just a hunka hunka burning…idiot."
"Lorenza must be wearing fireproof pants."
Love these lines, but the best is this one:
"Honestly, y'all, I tried really hard to understand her thought process, but she's as bad as Lorenza…she just goes on a tear and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how she gets from whatever conversation they're actually having to 'He's a dirty old man and we should leave.' Just like Lorenza, where all conversational roads automatically lead to 'Maldita Gata!'"
That's exactly how I feel!!
Anon11:50 I also raise a glass of tequila to you. Spot on description of our "galan".
I really hope Rita is at death's door and it's not another Avances Monkey Red Herring.
Now if we can get rid of Meatball...

Good morning, 5ft.
Thank you for this accurate and snarky rendition of the collapse of this rotten to the core family.
Augie is such a peach. He dismisses his oldest son as incapable; he oversaw the education of Pablo in worthless avenues (Pablo's job potential? "Want fries with that sir?), and he mentally treats his blind daughter Virginia like a mosca he has just flicked off his sleeve.
I have to admit that I am often oblivious to things going on around me. However, if I was thinking of the "love of my life," I think I would be doing some basic math regarding how old Esme's babies are, when I was with her, and what the normal gestation period for humans is.
Wow, a death bed confession from Rita? We don't need the confession so much as we need her dead.
And anchovy brained Meatball thinking he can get Esme for the price of a small pizza? I actually love it when demented people extend their logic out to its twisted conclusion. It will always blow up in their face, of course.
I love Lorenza falling to earth clutching at the shreds of a moth-eaten parachute.
David

Is it just me, or does Pablow seem like the favored, golden child? Why? Why is Mariano dismissed as useless (yet he seems to have a little more heart) and Virginia is also dismissed?
Thanks , KAt. Yes, every time Lowrent says "Maldita Gata" , I think of my college roommate whose cat's name was That because her father always called it That Damn Cat. Then, there is the Hayley Mills classic movie That Darn Cat.

Wow, Susanlynn, you have got to be having the worst luck in the history of commenting with your vaporizing comments! That happened to me one time too.
Sara, I wonder if Mariano's situation has to do with him being the first child, typically driven to succeed and live up to the parent's expectations, but with this warped family dynamic, his efforts have gone unappreciated. Pablo, being the middle child may have had less stress on him to "succeed," and thus was allowed to explore less relevant pursuits. Virginia, being disabled, is ignored and considered unable to become anything of merit.

5ft - Muchas gracias. My favorite: Do you hear that, Pablo? I believe that's the sound of claws being unsheathed.
Pablum hates the kids? How are the kids going to feel about Daddy when they are old enough to realize he was too dumb to run a DNA test on them?
Yikes - I cringed when Meatball saw Carlos with Virginia. It's a shame Meatball manages to stay relevant.

Susanlynn-I'm just glad that we are at least getting your comments in e-mail!
Niecie: I can't believe the writers have kept the Meatball around. To him I say "esfúmate". I can sort of see how Rita is still relevant...the Meatball is completely unnecessary.
David: I once again find myself confused by Mariano. For a while I felt like he was creeping more and more to the side of good. Last night he just struck me as regressing back to the dark side. I can't cite anything specific...just a vibe I had.

Ms. 5 Foot that was great.
I think Mariano is so invested in having his father's approval that he swings back and forth. He's conflicted- he knows his parents are willing to lie and manipulate with Pablo, but he still wants to believe his father is honorable. He loves Gata, but he believes she is sexually onvolved with El Silencioso. He wants Pablo to grow a pair and a brain, but he also wants Gata for himself. At least there seems to be some higher brain function occurring. Pablo has nothing going on at all.
The scene with Pablo and Lorenza embracing was truly horrifying. Pablo displayed four different versions of the facial expression of a three year old coming down from a temper tantrum as he crossed the room to her arms.
And the insulting of BABIES? Are you kidding? Every time Pablum and Gata have a conversation, my husband says, "What humans actually say these things? How can I learn Spanish, when these conversations make no sense?" Yet, we continue watching. We cannot look away.
Where is Principe?
I fear Garabato and Inez are going to be desperate enough to try to rob Gata somehow if they are pressured further by Garabato's patron.
Looking forward to tonight!

It's a wedding made by God! They were born for each other! Lorenza must be wearing fireproof pants.
That's a good one Diva but I have to ask---which God? Would that be a wedding made by the Money God?
Meatball is going to bribe Carlos with a small pizza. That's so funny. I think that Meatball's mind is smaller than his small pizza's. Lupe could probably run the parlor better than he can.
Look out Lorenza, Monica's mother is trying to edge you out of the top necklace category. You've got competition.
Tofie---You're a riot. Fela. Well ok but what will I do with my doll?
and Rita making it up as she goes.
I vote for Rita to just die already. Please leave us.
David I think that you have a point about the Negrete children.
I was thinking however that maybe Pablow is the favorite son because he has more hair. Could that be the reason?
Ok so Meche knows, what will she worry/complain about now?

but she could sure take on tough girl Ines. That would be a real fight and Rita probably wouldn't be there to stop it.
Anyway, just like you I'm looking forward to tonight. I won't miss

Gracias, Susanlynn! I share your frustration with the disappearing comments and Pablo's lack of wattage.
Gracias, Anon at 6! There was also the alleged "El Pocho" from Tijuana, who has never been mentioned again. Gosh, for a girl who used to hang out on the hillside with him reading poetry when she was supposed to be out begging for money, she sure has been busy since he left. Meanwhile she believes all the crap about him because "rich guys are like that." But again...all that time, on the hillside, reading poetry...is that how rich guys usually operate? You're right, neither one of them is using any critical thinking skills.
Gracias, tofie! I didn't even notice the interview attire. I think I was too busy wondering why now, all of a sudden, it was so important for him to have a job. Just picturing Augie saying "el bebe de Kim Kardashian no es mio!" is giving me fits of giggles.
Gracias, Sara! Oh, were we supposed to be getting something explosive? Yeah, I have no idea what they meant by that. Even the big "Esme is your daughter!" revelation fell flat since Esme never really believes a word out of Fela's mouth.
Gracias, David! Deathbed>confession, for sure! I could do with one less annoyance...now if we could only get rid of Meatball!
Gracias, Niecie! It's going to be a mess, for sure, and I rather hope it's resolved before the twins get to the age where they can remember any of it.
Gracias, LN! I think you're right about Mariano. And I agree, he's at least thinking about things.
Gracias, gringo! Every time someone brings up "God" on one of these shows, I picture the stereotypical old guy in robes, hanging out on a cloudy couch, watching the episode on a big screen, munching on some popcorn...and then He hears something being attributed to Him and he turns to La Virgen and says "Seriously? They think I'M responsible for that?!" And then she says "Just wait. Two more episodes and they'll be asking ME to fix it."

Susanlynn, I don't remember how old we collectively decided they were before, but they're a month older now and NO WAY do they look it! They should be growing like weeds. They shouldn't be all bundled up 24/7 for sure, and should have some play time on the floor. Possibly, they should also be crawling or scooting by now.
Thanks, Anon!
Thanks, Anon!
Gringo..I like your theory about Pablow being the fav due to his perpetual good hair days, Maybe he could get a job modeling for Abercrombie...he fits the image.

The Meatball doesn't have enough brains to kidnap Miss Kitty but Garabato might try t0 rob her. She could recognize him but could she prove it at the police station or in court?

I just got this horrible mental image of Meatball trying to scale the fence at Casa Silencioso.
I'm remembering Garabato telling Ines that Gata was off-limits because she's from the 'hood. How sad is it that a lowlife like him has something vaguely resembling a code of honor while Meatball has none?

Well, Meatball got lust in his heart and ants in his pants for the Gata. Let the parmesan sleaze snatch Esmeralda and I want Fernando to open a can of whip ass on him.
Tofie---The Parmesan Sleeze. LOL
Tofie, I think that you are missing out on a great opportunity
Bottle the water in your area and start selling it. You'll make a fortune and who knows, one day you might be living in the mansion just down the street from La Gata.

Of course, we're all friends here.
big g, it can't be the water unless everybody that buys the spring water bottled for publix supermarkets are spewing crazy

Ah, just picture it...Meatball spends 20 minutes trying to get over the fence while the household staff assemble...taking pictures with the smartphones their generous wages allow them to buy...finally, he makes it over and just as he stands up, before he can take one step, Silencioso clocks him. And then the cops show up, cart him off to prison, and he's never heard from again.
Fabulous recap, crazy episode. Now it's like there's a big can of "Absurdities, Deluxe Edition" sitting on the table in the writers' studio. They reach in, drop it into the script, and move on. A few moments later, they do it again.
The expression on Pablo's face as he went to hug Lorenza? I was waiting for him to start drooling as well as crying.

OMG! From the recap, to all the comments. You all are on fire today with the hilarity. Parmesan Sleaze. Classic! The Meatball getting stuck climbing over the fence. I can't stop laughing. :)
I saw the last 5 minutes so I got a glimpse of Centavito and Virginia. Yay! Boy, are they both in for an unpleasant surprise about what a douche her dad is.

KAt..only 20 minutes? You are kind...and optimistic.

Gracias, Paloma! Sometimes this feels less like a script and more like an improv exercise. Someone on the sidelines shouts out an improbable scenario and the actors just try their best to sell it.
Gracias, Vivi! Virginia is far too nice to be a member of that family. And bless Carlos for being such a nice guy. They're so great together.

That may explain the repetitive dialogue!! You may be on to something!

I could picture Lorenza being told she can only say the line "maldita gata!" and Pablo switching from love to hate every time a bell sounds and definitely, while Rita was on the couch, somebody yelled "steal the candlestick!"
Susanlynn! I see your comment! 20 minutes might be too little. He would definitely take long enough that if this were a different kind of neighborhood, they'd be able to get a barbecue going and start a betting pool about how long it will take him to make it over.
