1/13 TUE Hasta el Fin del Mundo #104 Not Armando’s finest hour.



Oficina de Alexa
Alexa tells Irais she’s planning to dedicate herself to what she really cares for.  ruh-roh

Dani barges in, complaining about Alexa’s decision to support Sofia’s resignation.  Alexa explains she only did what Sofia asked.  Sofia needs to “find herself” and needs some alone time.  “Mal onda, neta!” opines Dani.  Alexa agrees she never would have thought of taking over the reins but Sofia needed her.  She feels Sofia will soon realize she needs to return and Alexa has the “perfect plan”.  She’s not divulging the details, but in less than a week Sofia – and the other partners – will agree that Sofia must return.  Que te lo digo yo!  (shot # 1)


Street Walker
Fancy Mercedes drives up to Sofia.  “hey, baby, how about a date?”  Sofia’s turns him down as usual and as usual Chava won’t take no for an answer.  He jumps out of the car, noticing something’s wrong.  She admits she’s no longer CEO of Ripoll. (note: why would Chava be allowed to drive this car in a greasy shirt?)

Casa Ripoll
Greta gives Fausto the deets on Sofia’s resignation.  Worst of all she left Alexa in charge!  Ay Caray.  Greta’s muy alterada (agitated).  She wants her pills and her tea.  She’s surprised to learn Iker’s still there.  She thought they had agreed he was no longer needed.  Fausto explains he’s had a change of heart and thinks they should keep Iker on.  Greta’s cool with whatever Fausto thinks but she wants her tea now. 

Back on the Street
Sofia feels she has to explain she’s got some personal issues to consider and admits it’s the same reason for which she jilted Patricio.  He starts to ramble on that no matter what, she’ll always be……thankfully, she stops him and asks if he would help her find someone.  He stops leg humping long enough to tilt his head….just like dogs do.  HA!

Empresa Ripoll
Alexa is walking the halls with Armie and is surprised at how quickly everyone is so friendly with her since she became CEO and she doesn’t like it!  She lays it on him that she looking for work as an actress again.  This is her true calling.  Armie fills her in on Irma’s delusion that their marriage as a happy one.  Ostras! Alexa is not amused and isn’t buying what Irma’s selling.  She feels Irma’s capable of anything to keep him by her side and is playing up her amnesia.

Hospital
Irma is clearly still in pain as she continues to recover.  She keeps replaying in her mind the day Renzi sent her flying.  Even more painfully, she recalls his threat to Nandito if she opens her mouth!  She is freaking out.

Still on the Street
Sofia gives Chava the name Cipriano Fuentes but won’t really go into detail why she wants to find him.  Chava doesn’t consider himself a detective but if it means that much to her he’ll do it even though their lives have taken different paths.  She’ll get back to him with the details.  After she leaves, he admits to himself he still loves her and that’s why it’s so hard to say no to her. 

Renzi’s Office
Manjarrez is reporting on Irma’s condition.  She doesn’t even remember working at a real estate office nor does she remember the marital difficulties.  Renzi’s not sure this loss of memory is permanent.  For now, Manjarrez is to maintain his friendship with the nurse to stay informed. 

Casa Ripoll
Iker calls Sylvana to tell her he’s still working at the manse, having befriended Fausto by making him believe they share the same interests.  She’s happy at the news and tells him to speed things up and increase the dosage to hasten the damage to Greta’s heart.  He’s concerned about leaving a trail of evidence.  In the end, he concedes and Sylvana says it’s time for their mother to rest in peace by having Greta pay for her death.  bwa-ha-ha!

Empresa Ripoll
She’s rifling through Ripoll employee archives and finds a file

On the Street
Armie has caught up with Chava who tells him he’s concerned about Sofia (what else).  Armie confirms she resigned but gave no reason.  He also tells him Alexa is now in charge.  Alexa isn’t comfortable with this decision and says she’ll refuse to accept the position.  Chava still doesn’t understand how Sofia could have given up the job.  Armie agrees.  He knows something serious is up with the Ripolls but Alexa won’t let on what it could be.  Chava figures it has to do with that guy she wants him to find.  Armie doesn’t recognize the name Cipriano Fuentes and why would she ask him for help, why not Patricio.  Why would she confide in Chava and not Pato?   Chava would like to think that maybe, just maybe. “No maybe, Chava,” says Armie.  “She’s made it very clear there isn’t anything between them.  Who knows why she’s asked for your help but don’t read anything more into it.  Otherwise, you’ll never get over it.”  Chava fears he’ll never get over it. 

Casa de Paco
Oh Lordy,  Paco is trying to reason with Aracely.  “Ok, so maybe Pedro didn’t float your boat, but Chava has clearly hasn’t forgotten Sofia.”  Aracely maintains that Chava just needs time to come to his senses.  Girl, he’s just not into you!  Accept it!  She wants to drop the subject. 

Comandante Tavares comes by for an update on Irma’s condition.  Comandante wants them to keep him informed on anything Irma says. It could help with the investigation.  He tells them Renzi claims to have been out of town and the office was closed on That Fateful Day.  However, the maintenance worker knows the office was open.  hmmmm

Casting Call
Alexa auditions.  The casting director is clearly not impressed with the other models.  He’s looking for someone fresh! Intense!  Someone like……..her! (Alexa)  She’s what I’m looking for!  Who me?

Yes! Yes! Her face! Her eyes!  Those lips!  Divine!  The job is to advertise lipstick (labial).   He has thousands of ideas for the storyboard and wants to sign her up tomorrow.  Director introduces himself as Guillermo Echevarria

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
Sofia is knocking on a rusted out door in an unseemly neighborhood, looking for Cipriano Fuentes  A very hostile, talkative woman answers and says, yeah she knows that canalla (swine)!  “Yeah, he was my man but he forgot I was his woman.  He left me years ago with no money, no nothing.  I don’t know where he is.  All I know is that whenever he got drunk, he would threaten to take off to Tirco, near Toluca.  His brother Ponciano supposedly owns a successful taquerÍa there.  By the way, now that I’ve given all that info, why are you looking for him?”  Sofia stammers that he at one time worked for Ripoll.  “That lazy a** had a job?  It’s a good thing we never had children, or who knows how they would’ve turned out with that scum as a father.”  (gee, how do you really feel?)  Sofia thanks her and leaves her card in case she hears from him.  Maybe being Gustavo’s stepdaughter isn’t so bad after all, right princess?

Empresa Ripoll
Irais complains to Matias that Alexa doesn’t want anything to do with being in charge of Ripoll.  She’s left Irais with all this work that’s due to Sylvana and she doesn’t know what she’s gonna do.  She gets a call from her sister, Jobeth (Williams?) who’s at the airport.  This is all news to Irais.  Matias offers to pick her up.  Irais says he can’t miss her.  She’s wearing a red dress and looks just like her, they’re twins!  Well, they’re twins but don’t really look alike.  ruh-roh, competition for Irais?

Casa de Chava
Aracely calls Chava and tells him about Tavares’ visit and what he told them about Renzi’s offices being open the day of Irma’s accident.   Achis! Achis!  Chava knows Renzi reported otherwise.  Aracely is on her way to the hospital and will see if Irma remembers anything.  Chava will meet her there.

Casa Ripoll
Iker prepares another tea and adds four drops of the “special something” but no tell-tale drop sounds this time.  Greta walks in just then but doesn’t want to drink it now.  She’ll have it after dinner.  She’s worried about the reaction to the news at Ripoll that Alexa is now in charge.  She leaves and as Iker goes to dump the tea, Miguelina walks in and tells him not to waste it.  She’ll drink it!  He hesitates and drops the cup as they struggle over it.  It smashes to the floor but we don’t see if it eats through the tile as we’ve seen in so many comedies. 

Lucas/Ollie – Lennon/McCartney they’re not
Lucas sings of heartbreak as he thinks of Dani.  Dani and Ollie walk in and listen.  Superlindo!  Que chido.  Ollie wants to share some songs he’s written and a battle royale ensues.  Lucas:  hey, I’m the songwriter here.  Ollie:  I can write songs too.  Lucas: yeah, but my songs have more feeling.  ouch!

Singing Studio
Marisol wants to take Singing lessons?

Airport
Matias looks for Irais’ look alike.  In walks a very sultry woman in a tight, short, red dress (think Jessica Rabbit).  Órale, says Matias.  He is smitten!

Hospital – no pressure, Irma but you MUST REMEMBER
Armie arrives and he’s brought along Chava and Aracely to see if she remembers them.  She does.  Aracely asks if she remembers going to the real estate office The Fateful Day.  She asks if she found anything.  Irma starts to hyperventilate and the machines start to beep rapidly.  “I don’t remember!”  Aracely continues to insist she remember what happened that day.  Irma struggles to speak and tells them she’s sorry but her head is muddled.  Doctor arrives and tells them not to aggravate his patient.  Irma tearfully says she’s trying to remember, but can’t.  Doctor forbids more questions and complains there are too many people in the room.  Aracely agrees but just wants to say goodbye.  Doctor will order more tests and if everything goes well, Irma will be released tomorrow.  Aracely says Nandito will be so happy to see her at home.  Irma asks if Armie would also be happy.  Armie reluctantly says he will, sure.  Chava takes his leave, but not before insisting that Irma continue to try to remember something – cuz it’s really important. 

In the hallway,  Chava tells Aracely he thinks it’s interesting that Irma reacted the way she did when asked about the real estate office.  Would she have reacted that way if she didn’t remember anything?  Aracely wonders if Irma is just afraid to say anything.  Chava agrees it could be but also thinks it’s possible the memory is too painful to bring up.  They go over Renzi’s insistence that his office was closed That Fateful Day.  Chava thinks it’s time to pay that tipo a visit at his office.

Empresa Ripoll
Sofia tells Patricio about the appalling locale where the search for her “father” led her.  Patricio thinks she should have asked him to take her.  She doesn’t feel well and wants to go home (why didn’t she go directly there from the ratty neighborhood?)

Airport
Matias is so mesmerized by Jobeth that when he answers his phone, he mistakenly says “buena” before correcting himself.  It’s Irais wondering if he found her sis.  He waxes poetic about Jobeth being an optical illusion, dreamlike.  Irais:  yeah, well she can be quite apantallante (makes an impression).  Matias now hesitates to approach Jobeth, saying she might not be willing to go with someone she’s never met.  Irais pooh-poohs this and tells him to just introduce himself, Jobeth is expecting him.  Chanting to himself, “si se puede, si se puede” he approaches Jobeth and introduces himself.  We find that Jobeth is quite different from Irais, and not just in her looks.  She’s a snob!  And she has a ton of luggage, figuratively as well as realistically I’m sure. 

Hospital
Irma was happy to see Chava and Aracely.  She’s happy to know she’ll be back with her son, her family.  Man, Armie is taking no prisoners.  Although she is in tears and clearly struggling even to speak, he charges ahead and tells her that even though she doesn’t remember, they were having marital difficulties.  Shouldn’t he wait until a therapist is present?  She refuses to believe this, knowing they’ve always loved each other.  Armie gets agitated and throws it in her face about all those years she deceived him by making him believe Nandito was his son!  Doesn’t she remember when they took Nando to meet his biological father?  Irma struggles to say she is remembering some things but thought she was imagining it.  She feels it’s horrible what she did to him.  He tells her it’s the reason he decided to leave her.  Nice.

Empresa Ripoll
Alexa tells Irais the good news about her audition.  Irais worries that Alexa is just going to dump her responsibilities at Ripoll.  Alexa insists her family must realize it’s not her calling.  She wants to be an actress and do something creative.  She thinks the director is brilliant, fascinating.  Que te Lo Digo yo! (Shot #2, hic).  She instructs Irais to come up with some story if anyone asks for her tomorrow. 

Hospital
Armie now confronts her with the suicide attempt and the impact that had on Nandito.  Then, he had to leave because she made his life miserable.  She even told Nandio about Alexa.  Irma is struggling to remember about Alexa.  He can’t believe she doesn’t remember jumping from the building.  That’s why she’s here!   Irma refuses to believe she would have jumped.  “Well, you did!” he shouts at her.  “Nandito is the only reason I’m here helping you and supporting you!  Nandito needs you.  But once you’ve recovered, we will once again be separated.  I no longer want to be with you!  When you’re released tomorrow I’ll take you to your house.”  Irma is crying and wonders if he’ll leave her alone.  He tells her he’ll stay to take care of Nandito and as long as he’s there, he’ll also take care of her but only until she recovers and it would be best that she doesn’t forget that.  “Don’t think I’m coming back to be ‘the happy family’.”  This was a very painful scene to watch.

Irais’ Depa
Matias and Jobeth finally arrive and he’s exhausted by his effort carrying her luggage and his ogling.  He explains he’s also a designer but instead of designing with colores, pinto con savores.  He boasts about his work and agrees he’ll have her over to visit his office.  She asks him for his number.  Her sister is so boring, she’s sure she’ll need a guide

Casa Ripoll
Pato delivers Sofia safely at home and reminds her to let him know when they’ll be leaving for Toluca.  She thanks him and tells him she loves.  Fausto reproaches Sofia for her decision to resign.  Her mother is very affected by it. Alexa as CEO?  Please! Sofia is sure Alexa will come up to speed with a little coaching.  She needs their confidence.  On another note, she tells him of her search for Cipriano Fuentes, her biological father.  “Gasp! Did you see him?” asks Fausto (honestly, this guy’s reactions are priceless).  She didn’t but has discovered he’s not a very nice guy.  Fausto counsels her to give up this quest and accept the man chosen by her mother to be her father.  Sofia won’t give up that easily.  She needs to meet him. 

Garage Band
Lucas/Ollie continue to argue over their songs.  Dani comes up with the idea to try out a song from each and see which one works best.  She fills in Marisol on the strategy when she walks in.  Lucas sings his song of heartbreak.  He’s singing directly to Dani, who’s in tears.  FF>>

Renzi’s Office
Pato meets with Renzi, telling him that while Sofia’s busy looking for her father, he has time to destroy Ripoll.  Renzi walks out with his Primaso but they stop to talk in the lobby as Chava walks in and overhears them talking about “our” plan to continue to convince the homeowners to sell their properties.  Aha! says Chava Holmes.  “Our” plan?  Ya salio el peine (the comb is out – which is a considerable feat considering all the product on Pato’s hair.) “This can only mean you are involved in the property sales.”  tan-tan-TAN!!!

Comments:
I really had to hold myself back and not rant on the recap itself.

Armando is a bastard in how he treated Irma on tonight's episode. Viewerville has not been given any clue that Irma is faking the extent of her memory loss. The woman is clearly in pain and suffering and yet Armando has to rail against her while she is so vulnerable. I realize it was wrong of her not to be up front about Nandito's biological father but really -- you're going to yell at a woman in a hospital bed? Badly done, Armie. Shame on you!

ok, rant over
 

Paquita, thanks for the great recap! ¡Que te lo digo yo!

I also agree that Armando was a real rat bastard treating the out of it Irma like he did. He deserves what he gets with that crazy ostra head Alexa.

Alexa " que te lo digo yo'd" all over the place in this episode. ¡Ostras!

This blah blah blah put me to sleep.

Jarifa

 

Go Armando, tell it like it is. We all know that Irma knows what happened between her and Armie, and that she'll cont. doing what she'd done before(the intro gives it away). Seeing Armie give her a piece of his mind was a sweet consolation prize.

Arcaceleech, oh Araceleech, either yer head's up in the clouds or up yer own @$$, you need to quit your daily delusions now.

Sophi begins a wild goose chase.

Alexa gets to try on lots of lipstick(PUCKER-UP, ARMIE), lol.

Irais uses the word "twin" very, VERY loosely, lol.

Wonder Bread Band....

Cray-Cray assassination process delayed for the moment(picks right back up next ep).

Meanwhile, Miguelina dodges a bullet.

Fausto bein' Fausto. Caring, supportive, a fan of Gene Kelly.

Pat the Rat an' rat cousin begins "Operation Destruction of Ripoll"(O.D.O.R). Lets some of their shady biz slip in front of our pal Sal- OH $#*!

-end scene-
 

Irais' twin sister is Greta 2.0: uppity snob & hostile.

Matias needs to stick with Irais!
 

This is great Paquita

"He stops leg humping long enough to tilt his head….just like dogs do. HA!"

Typical beta orbiter, Salvador, trying to read something into every word, to confirm she digs him and not the other guy.

So what, Salvador overheard Pat & Renzi, what's he gonna do, tell Pat he has to come clean or he'll tell?

I get it if the lipstick colors are bubblegum and candy but sultry, no, Alexa is cute but not sexy.

Patience, Silvana.

Whomever told Lucas he has talent lied to him. Listening to him squeak out that song, after the big production over hiring a rock and roll drummer, sounded like John Bonham playing with the Partridge Family.

 

Isn't it HILARIOUS how Javier and Isadora are like a caricature of Salvador and Sofia?
 

My suspicion about Armies treatment of Irma last night has to do with his plan to possibly force her to admit she has her complete memory back. Typical Spanish Telenovela plots. Have the villan kill a bunch of innocent children then fall in the bathtub and bump his/her/its head and have no recall of the masacre.
 

Yeah Irais twin. Mathias needs to grow a pair then hit it and quit it.
 

Kirby, interesting to see how Irais' twin sister will be having a role in the TN!
 

Thanks so much, Paquita! I watched last night's episode. I think Greta is being extremely cruel to Sofia, and Armie was cruel to Irma-- although she IS faking.

Chava really doesn't have much to do right now, does he? I think the writers have really taken a wrong turn here. Since they brought in a new actor to play Salvador, the way to build chemistry between the two actors and gain audience support for the couple, is to actually have them together, doing stuff together. I'm just not seeing the connection between these two at the moment. Chava and Sofia might as well be in separate telenovelas right now.

Actually, almost all of these characters might as well be in separate tns right now, because none of these stories are really connecting or gelling-- Irais-Mateo-her twin; Sofia on her wild goose chase for her fake daddy; the Wonder Bread Kid Band; the geriatric love quadrangle of Paco-Lupe- Javier-the Lush (Olie's mom); Renzi-Pato and the real estate scam; Alexa and her lipstick ad; Silvana-her brother and the plot to kill Greta; and Irma's recovery and deceit. Too many story lines and not enough of them connect!
 

Steve. Re twin. Is there room for another nut case in this TN? :-)
 

Vivi in DC,

And considering that this tn has 'til around Easter to finish things, I feel it's gonna be pretty anti-climatic around some parts.
 

Kirby, we're going to find out if buji twin ends up on the villains group!
 

Did anyone else see Chava's shower head made from a clear disposable water bottle with holes punched in the bottom? Frickin hilarious attention to detail. I hope they don't have far to go on that Honda Virage 250. :-)
 

Alexa is so crazy but so beautiful! It's a tie between her and Araceli. Sexy!
 

Alexa has been my favorite for a while. She has a smoking little body and she loves to roll around between the sheets. And she is just plain pretty. Decent legs too.
 

Sorry I'm late! I was once in Armando's shoes. A close relative of mine would not leave my house. ..for years! Mind you, I was paying all of the bills and paying for all of the food. The person kept stating that they were trying to get on their feet, but would not get a job. At times I'd find out that the person received checks (other relatives, small pensions), the person would hide the money and tell others not to tell me. One day my relative had a heart attack. Like Armando, I became so discouraged because I thought that I was was going to be stuck for life with that person. I was nice and that person took advantage of me. After awhile , you become bitter. The problem is, I was trying to be nice because I was afraid that people would think badly of me and I loved my relative. I acted like Armando after the heart attack. You all know exactly what Irma has done to Armando, but now you all think he's being a jerk because Irma is hurt. Being hurt doesn't change what Irma has done. It doesn't change that Armando wants to be free. He's discouraged and thinks that he's stuck. I know the feeling!
 

P.S. the relative finally moved out and refused to speak to me for about a year because was selfish by not wanting to continue supporting him/ her.
 

Alexa & Araceli are both HOT !
 

ITA. Armando is right. P L U S....Irkme is still dishonest and telling Armie her memory is gone. IE: She is still the lying cheating stealing Ho she was before the accident. I am not crying for her. I'll take flaky loveable honest Alexa any day (or night:-) )
 

At least Armie has the cajones to stick to his guns.
