La Gata #32 Tues 10/14/14 La Pesadilla
It's another recap from memory. It's out of order. Please let me know what I forget and I can go back and add it.
Ines is out of jail (I assume on bail) and goes to see Rita in the hospital. She is repentant and asks Rita to forgive her. Rita does and assumes this contrite behavior means that Ines and Garabato have broken up. Ines informs her that that is not the case.
Centavito/Carrrlos and Virginia enjoy a romantic 3-topping pizza and lemonade lunch. Lupe has arranged a singer and a bouquet of flowers. The Meatball thinks it's a bit extravagant (3 toppings!) Lupe tells him that the more Centavito thinks he "owes" the Meatball, the more likely he is to give up La Gata's address. The Meatball finally gets around to asking and Centavito tells the Parmesan Sleaze (™ tofie) that he doesn't know where Esme is living.
Esme tells Jarocha in a long-winded conversation that she and Pablo aren't meant to be. Sure she loves him, but it's too late for them.
Fancy schmancy lawyer types have denied (or rescinded) Augie's invitation to a high society hootenanny. Augie commits phone-i-cide. Lowrenza reminds him that FDLSC offered him a way out. Augie is stubborn and is not going to give in to FDLSC demands. He then goes out to drink.
Jarocha tells Pablo that FDLSC is Esme's DAD not amante.
Pablo runs to tell Mommy. Mommy hyperventilates and calls Augie. He's busy getting drunk. She leaves multiple messages. He finally comes home drunk and passes out. The next morning, Lowrenza yells at him.
Mariano tries to get Pablo to choose his suit for the wedding. More conversation about marrying a woman you don't love. Pablo admits he loves Monica...like a sister. Mariano tells him you can't base a marriage on that kind of affection. Passion sure doesn't grow out of that!
Later Mariano gets excited about the wedding. Once Pablo is married, he can court Esme!!!
Esme has a nightmare in which she watches Pablo and Monica say their "I do"s. She tells him he can't marry Monica. He looks her in the eye and kisses Monica. (Please note, these were actual events that weren't really actual...it was a dream sequence.) Esme awakes in a cold sweat.
Pablo is in his room thinking about the wedding to come (with Monica) and the wedding that was (with Esme.) How different the two events are. He will always love Esme. He and Esme have condemned themselves to misery for the rest of their lives.
Breakfast at Fernando's. Everyone tries to make Esme feel better. FDLSC apologizes for not serving up Pablo on a silver platter for Esme. Meche tries to tell Esme to move on, but Esme says that Pablo was, is and always will be the love of her life. Esme speaks a lot of sense. In fact, I thought during most of her scenes how much sense she was making. We've said in countless comments that novela characters are just hard-headed and stubborn and here she is admitting it. I think it makes this all twice as frustrating.
Esme has a conversation with FDLSC. She and Pablo lacked trust. It wasn't outside influences; it was their stupid pride. His needing to confirm the babies were his just sealed the deal. If he doubted it, they don't need to be together.
Jarocha gets little Pablo ready for a play date at the church!
Pablo and Augie decide sharing a drink is a great way to greet the wedding day. Mariano and Lowrenza yell at them both. Augie denies he has a drinking problem.
Garabato harasses Fela. He takes her doll and he and his thugs play keep away with it. This sets off an episode in Fela. Maria brings Fela to Fernando's house. Fernando tells Esme that her people are always welcome in his house. He goes up stairs RIGHT AS FELA ENTERS!! HE DOESN'T SEE HER!!!
Monica gets ready for the wedding. Her father is still in his jogging suit. He begs her to find some dignity. Pablo is marrying her just for the social status. The scandal around his family is growing! He doesn't love her. Monica just wants Pablo. She doesn't care. The only thing that will make her happy is her parents' support of this marriage. You know, I really agree with Lila's comments about Monica being a pitiable character. It is painful to see her shunted aside and ignored, but at some point I have to lay some of the blame at her doorstop.
Mariano gets ready to take Pablo to the wedding. Pablo starts badmouthing Esme and saying he wants her to suffer. Mariano tries to defend Esme. Pablo starts thinking. He asks Mariano if he's in love with Esme and wants Pablo out of the way so he (Mariano) can give Esme the Martinez Negrete name!

Jarocha brings little Pablo to the wedding!

Does he consider what will happen if Pablo actually listen's to him??? Where will he be then?
Laughed at both dad's trying to stay in their casual clothes up until wedding time. Looking forward to some fireworks in the church.
(I'm still on schedule to recap tomorrow and Thurs. No guarantees on quality, but will cover it.)
I realized that when Pablo is alone, he talks to himself about how he will always love Esme and wants her back, but then when he is in front of people, he says he hates her and she deserves to suffer even after the facts were laid out in front of him 1) the kids are his 2) FDLSC is her father, not lover. Why does he still hate her? I seriously forgot because they've been doing this dance for a while now.
Monica's parents should threaten to stop funding her. I bet living in his parent's house with his broke butt as he sulk and say he's confused will make for a happy marriage.
Looks like Ines didn't learn. She isn't giving up Garabato and that guy is Basura. Tormenting Fela? I'm going to check anvil inventory
Garabato needs one.
Yes Sara, I noticed that Principe likes books.
La Paloma---No guarantees on quality, but will cover it. La Paloma, you are quality.
So they're really going to do it.
A church wedding. Does that mean that Pablo and Esme can't have a church wedding at some point in the future?
Caroline---Your last paragraph made me laugh. You are so right. A real happy marriage ahead -- NOT
Well Mariano and Meatball will now be competing for Esmeralda, that'll be a hoot.
Rita doesn't look to be on her deathbed. I don't think writers are going to give us any Rita relief anytime soon. What do you guys think?
the gringo
I did see Principe in the library, he was suspiciously still. Was he behind glass? I did see his ears move so I know he wasn't stuffed.
(Oh yes, and the snake on the tree from Monday night...guess it was there for symbolic drama, very interesting.)
Oh yes, Lorenza forgot to tell Augie the big reveal because when he woke up he was hung over and told her he was tired of her yammering. Maybe that put her off? But I loved the scene of Pablo and Dad getting bombed together.
Can't wait for the wedding. Necklace showdown!

Lowrenza said Virginia was one of Monicas bridesmaid. A fact Pablo didn't seem to know. I thought that was a pretty good indicator of how uninvolved he is in the wedding.
La Paloma- I'm with gringo you are quality. I love your recaps and I can't wait to read it (and post it.) We all appreciate anything you can give us.
Tell me again, why does Pablo still hate Esme?
Glad that Fela was brought into the mansion, although she missed Fer. It can't be long now. Also glad to read there was a Principe sighting.
"Fancy schmancy lawyer types have denied (or rescinded) Augie's invitation to a high society hootenanny. Augie commits phone-i-cide." Stellar
JnO, at first it looked to me Principe had just returned from the taxidermist.
Mariano - stealth charmer
Monica - come hell or high water
Monica's hiphop pop - hell yeah I'm wearing this, its FUBU Sport
Jarocha - act now, apologize later
Rita - I'll forgive you if you straighten this wig for me
Lorenza - unlimited calls with our framily plan
Fernando - shou'da got my shotgun and gone cross the holler
Esmeralda - oneitis
The Doll - ouch
I think you've outdone yourself, tofie! I love this line.
Vivi - Pablo still hates Esme because there are still 80ish episodes to go. Oh and he's not real bright. Pretty, but dim.
Esme is being so cooperative in the relationship and trying to get them back together and Stupid a$$ Pablow who is not fit to live is 100% responsible that it's not happening.
I'll accept this
By the way, Sara! I love when you use exclamation points!
Hi, gringo. I stayed late and made up an anvil especially for Garabato last night, so no worries. By the way, I'm going to make up three gallons of Margarita mix for tonight on the patio. Could you bring salt for the glasses?
Baby Pablo at the wedding? Jarocha comes up with the most inventive ways to support Esme. The need to rent some older babies, though. It would be cool if an older Pablo Jr. would look at Pissant Pablo at the wedding and say his first word: "Dada."
David
Esmeralda is close. Not perfect...but she's getting there. If she could just stop with the "Pablo is the only guy for me!"
And you are so right- Garabato needs an extra big anvil. Do NOT mess with Fela or her doll!
Re Lowrenza (love that!) freaking out to learn that Esme is Fernando's daughter. . . maybe you guys have discussed this but despite the grim reaper outfit, that looked like Augie who took Esme from Blanca. Augie and Lowrenza were involved in disappearing Esme so she knows they're in for major payback. Perhaps they poisoned Blanca because she did seem dazed when the baby was taken and perhaps they thought she died later.
Also, I can't locate the link to "La Gata" on the sidebar. . .recaps are sometimes hard to find.
Thanks again Sara! Lovely, fun recap!
Lila
J in O
get what you have?
No stuffed Principe's please!
David I glad to hear that our anvil stock is 100% Garabato and his gang of hoodlums all need one
and we are here to help them out.
Hey, we'll even put their names on them at no extra charge, it's the least that we can do for basura. Tormenting Fela has gone a little too far. They should be proud of themselves torching a poor disturbed woman.
Salt for the tequila glasses, check. I also will be bringing plenty of limes chips and salsa. It's Pablo and Monica's wedding tonight so plenty of tequila is a must. If Augie and Pablo can get bombed before the wedding, why can't we?
The gringo
YES!!
Lila-I don't think La Gata is on the sidebar. The blogmom is very busy and I don't think she's gotten a chance to put it on the sidebar. I'm not sure if Kat has the power to do that or not.
Is that ok, David?
Let me just say that I love, love,love Jarocha and like her I too dislike Pablo, god, why can't more galans be like Daniel from Amor Bravio?
But I'll bite: wanna bet the church wedding will fail somehow. A fairly standard ploy in a lot of TN's and since La Gata is soo derivative, I see no reason why this should change.
Daniel Arenas looks really bored playing this role. (Who wouldn't be?) His next role should have these conditions: hair as least as long as CI or AC; and he should be a mean, decisive killer! No more wishy-washy 'nice guy' It's killing his (SEX) appeal.
End of rant.
Sara, sorry my earlier musings disturbed the decorum in your classroom.
Re: knitting a gorro for the anvil; make it small; I want to apply it to just one small area of the anvil so as not to provide any cushioning whatsoever.
I'm looking forward to whatever happens at the wedding. The Church may want to video tape this as an example of what is excluded by Canon Law.
David
I wonder about the wedding...if Pablo and Monica actually get married, it's going to be a major plot dilemma to get them free of each other without, you know...divorce. Which seems almost never happens in novelas.
J in Oregon
The editing on this show baffles me. They leave in annoying, long-winded scenes, but are ok with letting us assume things, like Ines must have gotten out on bail and Meatball must have had a conversation with Carlos about exchanging pizza for info. And in the case of Ines, I actually would be curious to know what happened...is it just bail or were the charges dropped? Weird.
Something about Esme's logic, that she and Pablo are the ones who screwed things up, almost gives me hope. Like maybe he really will have to grow and mature before they get back together. As for her, I don't know if I agree that she's done anything wrong. If anything, it's her pride getting in the way of being direct and giving information, but at the same time, what's the point when he never believes her?
Are we sure Mariano hasn't been drinking as well? How does he think that Lorenza is going to let him date Esme? Or that Esme is going to want to date him? Dude, she's met your mother! That's a relationship killer right there!
Augie in casual clothing and sunglasses having a drink with bitter, whiny Pablo cracked me up! And boo on Mariano for spoiling their fun!
I get that Fernando wants Esme to treat the house like it's hers and have guests if she wants to, but isn't it just a tiny bit rude that he didn't stick around and meet her guests?
PRINCIPE!!! It was so good to see him just hanging around, cat-like, on the books.
La Paloma, I'm sure anything you put up will be awesome! Thank you so much for doing this!
If Pablo marries Monica, how will he be freed up to marry Esme? I don't think Monica is "evil" so I don't think she deserves to die (which seems to be the only way a galan/protagonista can marry after a church wedding.)
But will Jarocha stop the wedding?
I'm pretty excited about what will happen tonight.
I don't think Mariano cares about what his mother has to say, he knows exactly what Esmeralda is and I don't think his mothers disapproval will keep him form trying to get Ms.Kitty, but I doubt Kitty will give him the time of day.
And Mariano doesn't have a job either.
Maybe they cut out the scene where he gets rip roarin' drunk, too.
If Jarocha does manage to stop the wedding...or, I guess, if Jarocha's confrontation of Pablo is enough to get him to take action...will Esme still tell him to take a hike? Especially if she finds out that he didn't spontaneously do it because of his luuuuuuurve for her.
Wondering if Rita is going to stay on the straight and narrow now. Team Fernando could use her craftiness in the service of good.
What a hoot that the dads were dressed for jogging up till wedding time. I hope Monica’s dad actually wears his jogging suit to the nuptials. Something needs to shake up Monica.
Tofie – my fave: The Doll – ouch
So Garabato was tormenting Fela just for kicks? GrrrrH!
