RECAP BY LA PALOMA RECAP BY LA PALOMA RECAP BY LA PALOMA
There could be missing details here and there, so feel free to add them at will. This is a straight account—hard to make it any funnier than what happened on screen.
Previously
La Gata, resigned to losing Pablo on the day of his wedding to Monica, stands gazing out the window. Los Hermanos Estupidos, in their spiffy new clothes, converse in the car. Pablo tells Mariano maybe he could offer Gata the life he couldn’t. Then, he gives up and tells his baffled bro to take him to the church.
The Wedding of the Year
A throng of people flaunt their festive attire on the church steps. A group of girls in bright aqua could be bridesmaids, while the bride’s mother wears red and groom’s mother orange-red. The fathers have switched from sporting wear to business suits. Don’t hold your breath for a wedding with every detail—we seem to hit only the high spots here.
Now the crowd is inside the church and the groom and best man are strolling down the aisle. Meanwhile, Jarocha is moving down a side aisle, clutching Pablocito in her arms as she keeps pace with the brothers. No one seems to pay much attention to her and she arrives at the front of the church when the brothers do. She sidles over to Pablo, lifting the baby for him to see.
“This is your baby!” says Jarocha. Pablo looks and sees the resemblance. “Forgive me, Lord” he responds. Pressing on, Jarocha demands “Tell this baby you’re marrying someone else [not his mother]!” Mariano hears Pablo admit the baby has his face and “Now I see the truth—those are my kids!” The priest on the steps above them seems frozen. Monica has started down the aisle toward her fiancé. Jarocha remains in place with the baby, while Pablo continues his mesmerized stare. In the background, Lorenza looks horrified and Augie still looks drunk.
We cut briefly to Don Fernando’s house, where he is telling Gata he’s sorry he can’t help her, although he has a feeling she and Pablo aren’t done yet. Gata holds a yowling Principe in her arms, as he crys out the misery she feels.
Again at the ceremony, Roberto has handed off his daughter to Pablo. The priest is at the part where Pablo should respond, but he is still stunned by his newly claimed fatherhood. Jarocha holds her ground and is sending telepathic messages “your kids, your two kids” until Monica finally prompts her reluctant groom. Pablo accepts his truth and says “Lo siento, I swear I’m sorry, but these are my kids. I can’t marry you or anyone else. I have to take care of my kids!” He steps aside to murmurs of confusion from the crowd. Monica runs down the aisle and out of the church. Augie trumpets “You’ve dug my grave” while Robert states he is now Augie’s enemy.
There was a brief Carlos appearance, as he sneaked into the church to see “his lady” Virginia looking especially beautiful.
The After Parties (much repetitive conversation, some bits may be missing)
Jarocha is back at Don Fernando’s mansion, telling them that Pablo did not marry Monica. “Dios mio!,” says Esme. “You went too far.”
Pablo is on the sidewalk, while Mariano drives beside him with the window down. The elder brother berates the younger. “Where were you when Esmeralda was pregnant? You married her, why didn’t you take care of her?” Pablo has no real excuse, but claims that Monica was a victim along with Gata.
At Casa Martinez Negrete, Lorenza again begs Augie to stop drinking. He is not inclined to comply. Pablo tells his parents he owes them an explanation, but they owe him one as well for deceiving him. Papa replys with a roundhouse slap to the face.
At the bride’s home, Roberto is again swearing revenge on Augie and his family, while Mama (name?) is chiming in as well. Monica, still in her gown with mascara tears on her cheeks, rouses herself to say “No! Neither of you will do this. I deserve what I got. I love Pablo, but he told me he didn’t love me. I had no dignity, I was stubborn, now I have to pay the consequence.” (I nominate Monica for both the most sense and the best speech of the night.)
Esme brings Jarocha into the room with Fernando and Damian to tell about the non-wedding. Fernando says she deserves our gratitude for stopping the wedding. “What a scandal!” exclaims the pleased Fernando. Gata is still not sure it was a good thing.
Pablo tells his parents to “Go ahead, hit me some more!” He questions if they had the right to change his destiny? Augie says he’ll kick Pablo out. Pablo hotly counters that he has two kids who don’t know him because of his own parents. Asked who said they were yours?, Pablo answers “My heart, and the cry of the blood!” (OK, he wins for most cliché speech of the night.)
Now, finally, Lorenza tells Augie that Gata is the daughter of his enemy, Fernando. “I wanted to tell you, but you were drinking,” she whines. This news almost sobers up Augie and leaves him stunned.
Esme tucks her babies into their cribs and looks out the window. “I was waiting for a miracle, wasting my time,” she muses. I don’t know if Pablo will look for them. I’m going to bed. Fernando again tells Jarocha he is grateful. She did what he couldn’t.
The Fall of the House of Martinez Negrete
Mariano tries to get Augie to stop drinking, with his mother’s backing. She claims she needs a whole man. Augie thinks she’ll have to settle for the part of a man he now is. Augie admits he tricked Pablo, but he did it to save him. He then confesses the money their family enjoyed was stolen from the father of La Gata. Now there’s a procedure against him, he’ll go on trial and they’ll lose everything.
Mariano is in tears. Augie tells Pablo to get out and Mariano can go too. The heartbroken younger son says his father fell off his pedestal and is now broken into pieces. Lorenza, always ready to put herself first, says she has no son. “What have I done to deserve this?” she cries, breaking into a strong tremolo wail.
Pablo is in his room, packing. He feels he no longer has anyone to believe in. Lorenza comes in, saying she won’t accept her family falling apart. Mariano joins them, stating “We’ve been in the mud all our lives and didn’t know it.” He thinks he might leave with Pablo. Pablo says that wouldn’t be fair to Mom and Virginia, to wait here for things to explode. (Where is Virginia, anyway? Shut in her room to protect her from the truth?)
Mariano continues (with the runner-up good speech of the night) “All our luxuries were paid for by 20 years of that man’s life. I was a parasite and now I have to face that.” Pablo bids his bro farewell and asks “Forgive me for all the trouble I caused.” Downstairs, Lorenza begs Augie not to make Pablo leave. He says “Pablo is a bastard and no longer my son.” She accuses him of causing the problem: “You shouldn’t have told them.”
Another Day, Another Life
In the morning, Lorenza is in her garden, still crooning her song of maternal pain. Mariano tells her Pablo left last night. She begs him to find where her baby went. “He’ll be fine, the elder son replies. “He can take care of himself.” (Ha! Viewerville isn’t sure if that’s true.) Mariano adds to his mother’s pain by saying she was punished with the same weapon she used against Esmeralda. Angered, Lorenza says “If Pablo goes to that woman, then I’ll join your father in saying my son is dead to me.”
Fernando is reading the morning newspaper account of the wedding scandal, which claimed the groom was suddenly taken ill. He is pleased they’re winning the fight with the Martinez Negrete.
Pablo is at a park amphitheatre, where he is successful in finding work painting a mural on the back wall. He also finds an apartment and thinks “Today my new life begins!” He wants his kids to be proud of him.
Rita (you know we can’t escape her) is still in the hospital, but the doctor is telling her she’s doing well and will soon be discharged. She says the food there is great and it’s free. Doc says sorry, they need the bed for someone worse. An old man with an IV pole is in the hallway, and enters Rita’s room once the doc leaves. He calls Rita a fallen angel and says “the worse they treat me, the more I fall in love.” Rita smirks with pleasure and he calls her “cucucucuru” from the song. (I know that middle aged romance is often part of TNs, but we’ll have to see where this goes.)
Monica comes to visit Esme. She wants to talk woman to woman. She knows Gata knows the wedding wasn’t completed. She’s not here as an enemy. In fact, she’s giving Pablo back to Esme, so he can be with the only woman he can love. (Sorry—forgot to note what she was wearing? Jogging suit or what?)

Fabulous stuff, La Paloma!! And much needed since I was tired and Pablo and Mariano are hard for me to understand sometimes.
"I nominate Monica for both the most sense and the best speech of the night."
THIS!!!! I was so proud of Monica last night! We've got some great female characters with Esme, Jarocha and Monica. I hope a cured Fela turns out to be a strong, sense-talking woman, too.
QTH Rita and dude from MPV? No. Just no.

Thank you LaPaloma! Great ep, great recap! Jarocha standing unchallenged at the groom's elbow was pretty silly but anything else would have been too subtle for Pablo! Loved Fernando's fake-out of displeasure at Jarocha's wedding crash! I did NOT expect Augie to be un-masked so soon in this symbolic suicide but Augie and Lowrenza blaming Palo and La Gata respectively for their own self-induced downfall is predictable.
And Monica "giving Pablo back" to Esme. What in the heck is her role going to be now? As useless as the fake Italiano?
I have to remember now that I'm watching live not to look at the previews -- darn them! With Pablo's fall I hope we're not about to have Mariano step in due to Pablo's having amnesia or being paralyzed! Yikes! Even so, he has no chance with Eseme. Can't wait to see what they do with this!
Thanks again LaPaloma!

La Paloma what an awesome recapitulation. The hilarity and you describe it perfectly.
"Jarocha remains in place with the baby, while Pablo continues his mesmerized stare. In the background, Lorenza looks horrified and Augie still looks drunk."
"still crooning her song of maternal pain. "
Jarocha - Vice President of Git r done
Rita suitor - come on mama grab this rolling pole and lets go for a stroll
Rita - Hospital Bed & Breakfast
Pablo - why you need first and last months rent in advance, I won't be here
Lorenza - nooooo, he can't gooooo, who'll change his diaper
Augie - started by swiping gum at 7-11 and just snowballed
Roberto - I'll bat cleanup
Fernando - I be one happy pappy
Monica - you can have him, he did me a favor

La Paloma, I really enjoyed your very complete recap, and you are completely correct, you didn't have to make up any funny stuff, the script was able to stand on its own.
Augie blaming everyone else for his coming downfall was predictable, and I think rings true; don't the worms we know in real life blame everyone but themselves?
tofie, your "started by swiping gum at 7-11 and just snowballed," was great.
I have always thought that Monica would bow out gracefully and be a complete lady about it, but now I'm getting a little suspicious about her visit to Esme. That just seems too much.
Rita saying she enjoys the "free food" really torqued me off. That food isn't free, it's probably the most expensive food in DF when all things are considered and someone else is having to pay for it. What a freeloader. In that sense, and for the good of the taxpayers in DF I hope she hooks up with the IV pole guy.
Thanks again La Paloma for this start to my day.

I'm still thinking about Monica. I think she was pretty classy to tell her parents not to do anything. She admitted her part in the whole fiasco.
But like Lila, I'm wondering what her role will now be.
I'm more than annoyed we've kept the useless Meatball around. I hope they don't give Monica the same useless fate because I kind of like her.

Thank you for the recap! And to all of the recappers since I don't watch too frequently but keep up with you guys!!
Must admit that this TN is moving faster along than I would have thought. Sure Octavio, I mean Pablo, is well meaning but stupid, and most importantly, good to look at, he seems to be a bit firmer in his truth.
Is Esme the only one who doesn't know Fer is her father?

Monica has every reason in the world to be bitter and lash out but hasn't, even accepting all the responsibility when she certainly is not totally at fault. Lorenza and her mother have been conniving for years and while Pablo never said he loved her did agree to a marriage and just one evening prior they were discussing a move to NY.
I don't get both those girls (Monica & Esmeralda) hanging on to this guy though it could be love for the young boy they remember and he grew to be pretty. Otherwise, he breaks every promise he has ever made, he chases butterfly dreams, impregnates, runs off and denies children he sires, he laughs, rages, sulks, stomps, and cries constantly and hasn't got a pot to piss in. What a catch and those two girls should start a We Wuv Pablo Club. Come on, let other wuv sick girls share in the glee and sorrow.

"Must admit that this TN is moving faster along than I would have thought."
I was gobsmacked that Augie's secret was already out! It's only the 33rd episode!
I was gobsmacked that Augie's secret was already out! It's only the 33rd episode!
Carvivle, Esmeralda is the only one of any consequence (well except Fela) that doesn't know Fernando her father. Silly isn't it?
I have hope that Esme and Fela will be let in on the secret soon. So far the pacing and secret reveals have been pretty good.
Yah, the writers need to remind us what besides a pretty face makes Pablo so desirable. At first he was a defender of the common humanity of the residents of the landfill and he faithfully and unashamedly befriended La Gata despite his mother's disdain. He taught her to read and write and fell in love with her even when she wore dirty, torn, bopp-tailed frocks and lived amongst the garbage. I think we're safe in assuming there were no "benefits" before marriage so this was indeed the noble Pablo. But, alas, Tofie's list is the Pablo of late that's why I'm wondering if they're are going to have him fight back from the ravages of physical disability after the fall (literally)and be worthy of the strong, principled, beautiful Mother of his children?
. . .or just keep being a pretty dunderhead. Oh well, the story still has comedic value, is great for language practice and love the recaps and comments!

Great job La Paloma! I have to say, Monica was exceptional in this episode, she broke the jilted lover mold of many TN. I actually stood up in front of my tv screen and started clapping: http://media0.giphy.com/media/GCLlQnV7wzKLu/giphy.gif
Is Pablo finally becoming the galan we all thought he could never be? Also, how much he is getting paid to do that mural because that apartment looks too much for a struggling artist?
Tofie, best comment ever: "he chases butterfly dreams, impregnates, runs off and denies children he sires, he laughs, rages, sulks, stomps, and cries constantly and hasn't got a pot to piss in." I am imagining Pablo doing this: http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhxdd4rD6A1qfexaro1_r1_500.gif

La Paloma---Quality all the way.
Lorenza looks horrified and Augie still looks drunk. Now that's quality writing and good for a chuckle too.
The boda---Even Principe was crying.
I agree, Monica wins the best speech award of the night and Pablo wins for best cliché speech.
Lila---What will Monica be now? Will she become as useless as the fake Italiano? Maybe, but we will have to wait and see where the writers take her.
Tofie---Your list is sheer brilliance but you have added to your brilliance with---Those two girls should start a We Wuv Pablo
Club and let other sick girls share in the glee and sorrow.
Two grown men and neither of them with a job. Well Pablo FINALLY got a job but for how long? OOPS
I fell. Mommie!!!
I noticed that there was no battle of the necklaces last night but there sure was a battle of the Negrete's. Where was Virginia when the battle was raging? She had to have heard all of the yelling.
Pablo is out and he has never had a job so where did he get the money to rent a nice apartment? Did daddy give him a fat bank account?
Monica is definitely a good person, blinded by reality but good underneath it all. I am curious to see what her role will be now. Pablo's hurt, so will both Esme and Monica be by his side tonight?
Deluded Mariano goes to see Esme.
And what was with that HOT PINK and black striped bowtie? Good grief!
must see tv tonight.

Yep Lila, where lurks the pensive, sensitive boy of yore? That's the one the two girls remember and love. The manchild is sick, no, the dude is crazy and a menace.
La Paloma – Delighful recap. I haven’t watched the episode yet, but will tonight with your fab account by my side.
Thank you Sara and Tofie! My intermittent watching habits with this one leaves me questioning some things so thanks for setting me straight!!
Omigosh, La Paloma! Excellent recap! What an action-packed episode! I'm still in shock!
"Don’t hold your breath for a wedding with every detail—we seem to hit only the high spots here." And what a strange wedding it was. I was confused by Monica and her dad walking down the aisle while Jarocha was still standing there. And then Lorenza didn't do anything but think in Pablo's general direction. I actually started to wonder if Jarocha was really there or if she was just in Pablo's imagination!
"I nominate Monica for both the most sense and the best speech of the night." I'd vote for that. That was the moment that gave me hope that we might actually not go with all the usual cliches.
"Where is Virginia, anyway?" Totally! She said it herself several episodes back--they barely treat her like a member of the family. I want to pretend for a while that they actually forgot her at the church and she and Carlos walked up to the padre and said "Hey, as long as you're all dressed up anyway...."

Great recap! Fun episode!
5 Foot Latina, I also wondered whether Jarocha was actually standing there or just a figment of. Pablo's imagination/conscience. No one but Pablo seemed to be noticing her. What bride walks down the aisle, sees a wild woman holding a baby at the altar with the groom, and doesn't mention it?
Also, good call on Centavito and Virginia. Why did he even come to the church? Did he want to see her all dressed up? She just disappeared after the bodus interuptus.
Gringo, not only was that tie pink and black, it was knit! What a luk.
Mr. LN cannot fathom how Pablo came up with his first and last month's rent. He also advised Mariano and Pablo ( well, he yelled at the tv during their big scene) not to leave Virginia alone in that house. They should have all moved out together. They could have sold the Mini Cooper and lived on the proceeds for a while.
It seems like no one over the age of 40 can have a romantic relationship on a telenovela without it being a big joke. Let's see what I happens with Doña Rita and the super spy.

I thought it was funny that Lorenza is always calling La Gata trash and yet her want-to-be daughter-in-law's bridesmaids, minus Virginia, looked pretty rough. Won't go so far as skanky but...rough.
You're out of here son---oh, but don't worry, I'll pay your expenses.
That was a nice apartment and Pablo has never had a job so?????
LN---that would have been too good to be true. Well Padre, since
this wedding is a no go, you can marry Virginia an me. Lorenza would faint.
It's only a thought but will we see Esme y Monica together in Pablo's hospital room tonight?
The downfall of the Negrete's has begun. Will Monica's father team up with Fernando against Augie?

Waiting for tonight's adventures: who survives the aftermath of the wedding disaster, especially Pablo and his family? Does he actually try to visit his babies?
Sara, I'll email you the recap later tonight (I hope by 11 or so).
Sara, I'll email you the recap later tonight (I hope by 11 or so).
Note to Monica: That was a very classy thing to do, take responsibility for your own actions and ask your parents not to proceed with their "venganza" - but, Honey, that "I give you Pablo back?" QQW? Sweetums, he was never yours in the first place!
Note to Carlos: You are not a dirty little boy any more. You are a young man and in love. The least you could have done is WASH YOUR FACE before crashing the wedding. You are an awesome person, strong-minded and good-looking, so please don't pay any attention to the writers/producer/director - clean yourself up when you go see your girl - we've all seen it's possible to do so even in the dump (i.e., Fela's public baths), so you can do it!

Anon at 4:44: Thank you. I have been trying to ignore Carlos's dirty face, it was time something be said. Come. On. Poor does not have to equal dirty. The mud, smudge and gunk (don't even want to think of what his teeth must be like) are guácala and don't fit this proud, smitten young man!
Speaking of teeth and guácala: just don't let us see Rita kiss IV pole man! (Tofie, that was a wicked line about strolllin' with the rollin' pole!)

Thank you, La Paloma , for providing us with that excellent recap. Wow...tofie, I loved Rita - Hosipital Bed and Breakfast...plus maybe a Boyfriend..Who needs online dating ? Yikes Pablow cannot afford a hit on the head. Jarocha..what a lesson in perseverance.

What a great recap. Thanks a million La Paloma. I hope you'll join the recapping team, I love your style. I had a busy day and I'm late getting to the board. I'm glad I went straight to the recap because it told me everything that happened. Think I'll skip over the comments today to avoid the inevitable Pablo thrashing. I think he was awesome in this episode and prefer to keep that in mind. Sure hope he isn't injured, just as he found employment and an apartment. But it may be plot development to get the two of them together. Thanks again

La Paloma - I will be waiting and will post it for you!
Lila- I had the same thought. Cleaned up Rita isn't too hideous... until she opens her mouth and shows her teeth.
Missy- Pablow is dim. But I admit he's nowhere as bad as Oblivio and I also admit that I was proud of him last night. He was a Mensch. I hope he continues on that path.

HA HA, gringo this is so funny "Two grown men and neither of them with a job. Well Pablo FINALLY got a job but for how long? OOPS
I fell. Mommie!!!
At first I thought it was just us women who could see what a worthless piece of crap this monkey is. Glad to see that men can also recognize scum when they observe it.
I have no use for a man who isn't able to recognize and seize a prize.
Maybe the writers will kill him off for viewerville sake and bring in someone new for our Esme.
