La Gata #66 12/2/14 La Muñeca
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
- Dr. Peñuela (played by the scrumptious Marcelo) is overwhelmed by eau de protagonista.
- Pablo wants to get married ASAP, but Esme still hesitates.
- Dr. Cisneros will be here soon!
- Pablo wears Esme down and she finally agrees to marry him the day before her operation (and I can't help but think that you aren't allowed to eat or drink after midnight before a surgery... so they better make it an AM wedding so Esme can enjoy a little of the reception.)
- Augie had hoped Mariano would remain loyal to him, but now his kids are dead to him and if Low is going to keep bleating about the nietos, she's dead to him too!
- Mariano thinks Fer should transfer all his assets to be in Esmeralda's name.
- Augie rightly guesses that Gisela is lying about her accusation of rape.
- Gisela rightly guesses that Augie and Low aren't the happiest of married couples and Augie admits he has had only one "great love."
- Low continues to play innocent with Pabs and Mariano.
- Augie is looking forward to El Sil's (2nd) downfall.
- Mariano mans up and tells Fer about the paper.
- Pablo is a dumbass to the extreme and signs a contract from Gisela WITHOUT READING IT.
- Did I mention Pablo is a dumbass?
- Gisela muses that Pablo's dumb ass work and life are now completely in her hands.
- Pablo's dumb ass takes Esme and the babies on a picnic.
- Though angry that Pablo's dumb ass did not take her call, Gisela continues to gloat about his dumb ass being in her power and she plans to makes sure Pablo's dumb ass ends up broke.
- Fer can't help but think that Mariano was secretly working with Augie, but Mariano swears that isn't the case and he did everything in his power to get the paper back.
- Home from the picnic, Pablo's dumb ass reads an email informing him that Gisela has set up a business lunch with a Paris gallery owner: Artur Bishkek (spelled according to the CCs, but was pronounced like Bisquet.)
- Fer is afraid that history is repeating itself and swears Augie will not win!
- Augie swears he will win and Blanca will be his!!
- Low is annoyed with Augie's bitter self and is gobsmacked when Augie informs her they may be married, but they are NOT husband and wife!
- Pablo's dumb ass tries to allay Esme's fears and jealousy over the business lunch.
The highlight of the night (which really can't be summed up in one sentence) was Erika Buenfil's good bye to her doll daughter. In a series of flashbacks and voice overs we see the history of Doll Daughter. Fela found her and even though she knows it's just a plastic doll, it really helped her through some hard times. She's now found her flesh and blood daughter and wants to leave the doll daughter so maybe someone else can find her. Meche and Jarocha watch from a little ways off and they are afraid Fela is having another bout of the crazies. As they approach, Fela explains she's burying Renata. They wonder how she can bury her "daughter" and Fela explains she knows it's just a doll. As a viewer I felt like Fela turned a page. If you don't watch anything else, watch these scenes.
- Damian isn't buying Mariano's story and he and Mariano face off.
- Fer interrupts and says he wants solutions!
Avances
- Augie has nefarious plans for Blanca!
- Gisela attacks Pablo's face and Fer sees!
Next: Episode 67

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for someone to offer to send me a beanie.
I'll bring cookies for the support group.

My four favorite scenes in this mess so far:
Fela giving up her doll.
The wild charreada where Gata and Pablo fought and Gata tried to climb up in the bleachers and pull Monica into the fight.
Jarocha punching Gisela.
Mariano and Pablo sliding down the barranca on their cardboard sleds.
Does anyone know what Garabato and Ines were talking about on Monday?
I'm still not sure which way Lorenza is going to jump.
Did anyone notice that suddenly Renata-the-doll had silky smooth hair? And a clean face? Doll makeover!
People, right now I'm in this just so I can stare into Mariano's eyes. I may need professional help.
J in Oregon
Yes, Erika was the highlight. They coulda left Meche and Jarocha out of the scene.
Yes, it has become a support group, thank y'all for that and I am eternally grateful to have learned the name of the latoodle-o so I can avoid her refried shit in the future.
LN-Those are my favorite scenes as well. For me I would add the scene where El Sil struts out of jail and the one where he finds Fela in the dump. It's one of the reasons I get so frustrated with this show because someone is capable of coming up with GREAT scenes, but 90% of the show is crap. And now that I'm more than halfway through I want to see it through to the crappy and bitter end.
I NEVER understand Garabato or Ines, so I can't really help with their convo. OH!!! Ines did say something about KIDNAPPING Esme. Oy vey.
J in O- "Doll makeover" made me giggle. It seems appropriate though. I mean, the REAL daughter got a make-over, too.
CorazonSalvaje(;-thanks for the doll cleaning tips lol.
tofie-would you think I was pressuring you if I said I hope we get a list from you today?
Lila-I am LMAO over you comment. I am NEVER watching a Latoodle-oo production again. I got burned by CI and now this. Never again.
Fernando - Mariano, you dumb xxck
Pablo - just a girl I know from work
Gisela - Zen and the art of Emasculation or Pablo's nuts on a stick
Augie - and look at you, who'd want to sleep with a camel
Esmeralda - how you gettin me, the wheelchair, babies & carriage out of this ravine
Dr. Peñuela - down a blind alley
The Doll - if I don't get a kid next time somebody pop off my head
Again, thank you recappers for your great coverage of all the "events"
emeraldrose-I feel the same way. I like the way you phrased it "warmth of the patio sun." I don't want anyone to suffer, but it does feel better knowing there are others here "suffering" and that we are all in this together.
Gisela - Zen and the art of Emasculation or Pablo's nuts on a stick.
tofie, you freakin' rock! I know you're secretly a famous stand-up and you don't want the world to know you watch novelas! Your secret is safe here! Coffee klatch, support group, did somebody say masochists anonymous? whatever, this gathering is sometimes more fun than the show, and this is one of those times!
Lila
Gracias, Sara! Excellent coverage, especially as it relates to the adventures of the ass that is not smart and belongs to Pablo.
Fela's goodbye to Doll Renata was very nicely done. Thank you for the increased coverage on that. Compared to the other drivel, having this one very emotional moment really stuck out. I wonder if there's a lesson there for us about dolls and insanity to help deal with senseless situations-like the ones Ms. Latoodle keeps inflicting on us!
I wonder what Pablo signed without reading it. Considering I'm sure actually owning another person is illegal. Did he sign over all his profits? In that case, just stop working and walk away!
I'm sure the contract states that Gisela owns his intellectual property or something.
I forgot to mention in the recap that Pabs and Esme did talk a little about his book. She joked it would become a movie or a novela. Esme and Jarocha had a conversation about writing, too.
I wonder if this book will become something important.
Every bit helps.
Do we have to call him Pablo Dumb
Ass from now on?
Can't wait to find out what Pablo signed.
Renta doll makeover. That one flew by me last night, but I did wonder what Fela was doing in the dump with the doll. Now that I know, it was a very sweet scene, the best last night.
GREAT favorite scenes list LN.
I agree that when El Sil found Fela in the dump, that was a great scene also.
Tofie---A perfect list and on the fly. You're amazing.
SUFFERING??? With Maite, the gringo would NEVER suffer.
Can't wait until Dumb Ass finds out what he signed.
So Augie is going to turn the tables on El Sil? Will they change living quarters also?
the gringo
The story/writing is a different story!
I love the recaps, too!
