Caray, Caray!

No one goes lower than Lo, that's for sure! Gracias for this recap, Lila and burning the midnight oil to bring it to us in all its glory!

"Did you think about my proposal, he asks. Yes, I’m thinking answers the silly wimp Esme." I can't make any sense out of this. Does she think that telling him "I'll think about it" is the nice thing to do? 'Cause it seems to me more like she's just stringing him along. And he's a bit cracked, so I'm not sure that's the safest course of action.

"All she did in prison was marinate in stupid, stick a fork in her, she’s done!" Agreed! This is not the Ines we knew before. The Ines we knew before would be insisting that Garabato get his hands on his inheritance and make an honest woman out of her.

"Virginia is even more distraught: Everyone lies, everyone has lied to me!" Realest part of the whole episode. For all the nonsense that's gone on, she really sold that. And I'm glad she pulled it together and decided to get married anyway instead of using that as a flimsy excuse not to, but I'm still so pissed at Lo for making it a memorable day for all the wrong reasons. And at everyone who let her stand there and say all that crap...nice of the Padre to finally speak up, but he left it a bit late, IMO. And still nobody asked "What disease?" Pfft!
 

Jeez, Louise! No other words are appropriate for this episode:

First El Silencioso took his doggone sweet time telling Esme that she is his daughter.

Then he didn't have a sense of urgency to look for her when his mentally fragile wife went missing when Augie Doggie snatched her.

Then the idiot didn't tell his beloved daughter that some jerk was trying to claim her kids.

And now he wants to wait until THINGS HAVE CALMED DOWN before he decides how he will proceed with filing charges against Low-rent-za for orchestrating the whole baby daddy fiasco.

Really, Fer-none-do?

And what about the two caca for brains parents of the twins? Why aren't they at the delegacion raising holy hell? Dimwit Esme just came from there!!

I bet Fernando could have been out of prison in a week, but he just didn't think it was the "right time" to start fighting back to get his money back, prove his innocence, and reunite with his family.

His nickname should be EL STUPIDO instead. Or El Slo-poke.
 

Pablo told Esme that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. How does he know? He can't remember all the women he's seen!

So the doctor told Pablo that the best way to regain his memory is to live his life as he normally would. HUH?? I DON'T REMEMBER HOW I WAS LIVING MY LIFE! Como un demonio! ... But then he does and just starts treating everyone, especially Virginia, as he always did! How does he know he loves her? What if he couldn't stand her before? He starts acting like the same imbecil with Gisela and just stands there like a bump on a log while she slobbers all over him. "Uhh, duhh, I'm so confused!" Hadn't he just told Esme that she was the love of his life?

And what can I say about Esmeralda? Stalker 101 clearly states: Don't say or do anything, no matter how innocent, that can be interpreted by your stalker as encouragement. You're still thinking about it (Creepy Doc's proposal)??? Ay, caray!

And I loved that encouraging, rousing "Come on, Girl! Buck up, get up and don't let the momster win!" speech that she gave Virginia, but, hmmm ... why doesn't she yell at HERSELF like that?


 

Lila- I was going to ignore this show as usual, but then I remembered that someone mentioned yesterday that this would be the Viginia Carlos wedding, I had to tune in and came halfway in. Just in time to get all of Low's hateful show. Wow!

First, great recap, Lila! Loved your rightful indignation on our behalf.

Second, thanks for mentioning how often and how long scenes of just people staring at each other go on, and on, and on. Wow. They are really stretching this out.

Love that Viginia and Carlos continued with the wedding, but what a horrible memory. Loved their little scene in bed at the end when they joked about who would work, and who would be the stay at home spouse. Let these two mature kids adopt, and have their happily ever after.
 

Lila, couldn't have wished for more

I hope Carlos & Virgina move far, far away from this cesspool of group stink, all liars, posers, freaks & tramps who cannot help but to smell each others undergarments. I'd buy them a house if I could, wish them well, and let them rock each other and the world.
 

Hey, Diva! Thank you, Girl! It is so stupid for Esme to keep playing this idiot, cause that's what she's doing, but WHY? She doesn't want anything to do with him and he's as much of a nut case as Gisela interloping into a relationship of two people with TWO babies who are having a rough time and trying to work things out. Just stooopid.

Right about Ines. Why in the world would she drool over a bunch of crap stolen from a few chumps off the street when her baby dady is RICH -- he's RICH, BITCH! Another triple-o stooopid!

Yeah, Diva. They let Lo stab her, twist the knife and rake it through her entrails. Certainly belied the little speech Esme gave about them all being their for her as she lay prostrate on the floor after everybody let Lo disembowel her!

GAH! I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!!!

Thanks, Diva!
 

I need to cut and paste your whole comment Anon at 5:02!

That's why, for me, El Fer is the stoopidest sonofabitch that EVER had a butt hole punched in him!
 

More truth, Anon at 5:24. Preach!

Gosh. I hope the next show will have some romance, and likeable people and stuff. This wanting to slap the shit out of people after watching a tv show CAN'T be healthy!
 

Hi, Vivi! Glad you watched it and are sharing your thoughts! Lo's performance was really odious! What a wretch!

And yes, I don't know what was up with all those prolonged scenes where people just did nothing but gape! Jeez!

Carlos and Virginia have, indeed, supplied the only romance in this show and they ARE the example of true love conquering all! I still suspect Lo is lying, though. Why would Augie make that crack about what people would say when she has black babies? If he knew all the time she would die from the preg. . .

. . .oh, there I go tryng to apply logic to this steaming pile!
 

Ooooo! Sting 'em tofie! You said it, Girl!

Thank you! Lo in this episode made me want to spit AND take a shower.

I'm glad Carlos and Virginia showed such strength, maturity and the healing power of LOVE!
 

"Esme says the most intelligent and true thing I’ve heard her say in this whole show, referring to Carlos and Virginia, 'They’re the youngest but have always been more mature than all of us.'

BINGO!!! I thought the exact same thing. No truer words have been spoken.

Anon5:02- I could also copy and paste the whole comment as well. I think El Slo-poke is the best. My gawd he takes forever to accomplish anything.
 

Hey, Sara! Home stretch. I guess it's time for truth to be spoken!

Soon, we'll all be FREEEEEE!!
 

Well, Lila, you and the rest of the recapping team are making this enjoyable in spite of the material you have to work with. Kind of like watching two dogs having sex, then writing "Romeo and Juliet." Thank you so much for your effort and humor.

I thought it would have been funny if Pablo had walked into the church, sat down next to Esme with that innocent expression of his, but have his face all smeared with Gisela's lipstick.

More and more, I am creeped out by Doc See-No-Evil. I wonder what it will take to trip Esme's "don't you dare touch me" button.

Lo's continued freedom in the face of overwhelming evidence against her is just silliness. I would think that law enforcement would have taken her into custody without the need for el Silencio and his band of brothers intervening.

I would sure like to know what this mysterious disease is that kills mothers after they deliver their first child. I wish Lorenza would have had it.

Thanks again, Lila. You rock.

David


 

Whoa, David! What a compliment! Well, sir, you and all the LG patio peeps have made our suffering through this so worthwhile. Thank you, thank you indeed!

David, these writers have just thumbed their nose at all kinds of realities of how the world works, how human beings think, feel and express themselves. . .that's what makes this thing sooo frustrating! And seriously, you all do help. This damned thing makes me want to scream!
 

Thanks, Lila. Terrific recap. I haven't been watching but caught the last part and saw Carlos and Virginia getting married. Yay!

Lo's venom made no sense. If Lo always hated Virginia because her being born caused Lo's sister's death, why does Lo even care that Virginia could die giving birth to a Carlos baby. I'm usually one for forgiveness, but there's no reason for Virginia to continue having Lo in her life. Lo would be horrible to any kids Virginia and Carlos would adopt or, through TN miracle, conceive.

I didn't see the whole episode, but Esme seems to have grown some brain cells since I last watched the show.
 

Hi, Niecie, thank you and believe me, we understand the not watching part!

Esme's acting like she has a brain cell is her reaction to Pablo who doesn't remember they have a 6th grader type relationship going on. I think she likes him better this way and even named his amnesiatic personality: Pablito Loquito.

And you're right, Niecie, Lo's theatrics don't make any sense at all. That's why I think it's a lie. She didn't want to claim kinship to any children Virginia might have with Carlos and all she has done was to try to keep them apart. Failing this, it seemed she just wanted to hurt them both and have a story to tell her non-existent social group when the black babies start appearing.

Again, logic and LG don't mix!
 

Lila...thanks for your recap. You and the patio peeps have said it all.

El Silencioso is a dithering idiot only to make this mess last longer, just like the endless flashbacks and and three minute scenes of people staring at each other.

Why on earth would anybody, especially Esme and Pablo, let Low walk around free? She just tried to MURDER BABIES? Why didn't the entire company of wedding guests turn and scream "murderer" at her when she appeared, and then drag her out of there? It also appears, from the advances, that Juan Garza is still wandering around freely.

The only reason I can think that Esme is leading on Doc Creepy is that she feels he helped her to walk again and she owes him. I know, I know, I should not try to apply logic here. I'm torn between thinking he is going to kidnap her during these last weeks or the scenario where he resolves his mysterious relationship with Vicky. By the way, Vicky seems like the only contemporary character in this show. There is something weird about the hair, make-up and clothing choices here that makes me uncertain about what decade it is. I find the way they dress Esme, who is beautiful, really unflattering.

Virginia looked beautiful and ethereal in her wedding dress with her Pre-Raphaelite/Boho hair. Mr. LN said the best part of this whole pile of crap was Virginia pulling herself together and standing up to get on with the wedding.

Thanks again to all you recappers and patio peeps, you all make this bearable and clear up so much that I miss.


 

Darn blogger! LN I lost quite a lengthy comment. It could be on the board somewhere else! Oh well, thank you for hanging in here with us: in total agreement with you and Mr. LN! Lo's being free to wreak havoc and Gisela being able to wander around and mix with Pablo Y Co. is just flabbergasting!
 

Everybody at that wedding should be ashamed of themselves lettin that iron tank roll in and start blasting. (for any justice to be served, Fernando gotta get that squirrels tail caught in a cement mixer, carwash or sumpin) Virginia has consistently been a big hearted doll and I was shouting for her to say she was damn glad she was not of Lorenza's loins.

What a beautiful woman, Mariluz Bermúdez, and a bang up job she's done and cannot even use her eyes for expression. I did a quick google on her and uh, she got a cute figure. Carlos enjoy!

 

tofie, you and several others have mentioned that as well! They all acted like they were drugged or something. NOBODY except Carlos was trying to stop Lo! All they did was look shocked and Mariano just kept crying! Weird, weird and terrible scene! Lord, save me from everything these writers, directors, whoever is responsible, whatever they do in the future. I want no part of it!
 

I've been thinking about this for quite some time... there really is a genetic syndrome (Marfan's) that, if a person has it to a certain degree, I believe a woman really could die in childbirth. I believe it's the kind of rare defect that, if a person didn't do some research, they wouldn't even know the danger. Just a thought! Believe me, I know this does not make LA GATA make sense... in any way shape or form!
 

Thanks, Lila, for hanging in there and giving us your take on this puketastic episode.

So proud of Virginia for standing up to Lo's nastiness and proceeding with the ceremony. She and Carlos deserve all the happiness they can make together.

Sooo tired of all the wimpy characters just folding when one of the evil ones pulls another stupid move.
 

Only thing I can think of is, other than Carlos and the Padre, everybody else thinks what she has to say is of value or contains some truth and needs saying. I had such high hopes for Mariano but he's turned out to be a balless wimp and damn, where was Damien with his superman cape or Gata, mute, arched back and all, cowering in a corner? Now I get Pablo, dumbstruck, but he was just waiting till mama finished so he could go back to her teat.
 

I agree with everyone who commented on Lo ruining the wedding. She tried to murder her grand-kids and she's running around free?? Also, this might be picky, but, is it safe having a bed ,that a blind person uses, up on a loft like that with no guard rails on the side or on the stairs?
 

Awesome recap!

ITA with what most of you are saying so won't repeat. My only concern is that V and C's honeymoon suite has stairs up to the bed and no railing. Who chose that room for a blind girl? Just hope nothing happens to her. What if she has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Disaster waiting to happen!
 

OH MY!!!---What an hour last night
Gringo comments? You guys have just about said it all. How can I add anything much but I will try.

First Lila---A bang up job for sure. Wow! the La gata recap team is the best--par excellent. How can a series be so bad and the recaps so good? Don't know but can only guess. Do bad shows make the recappers shine? Maybe.

Example---All she did in prison was marinate in stupid, stick a fork in her, she's done. A+ Lila.

Ines, what is wrong with Ines? There has been so much talk about how dumb Gata is---well what about Ines? I just can't figure her out. She decided to live a life of crime, why? Damian went to school and is now a lawyer. Ines went to crime school and went to prison but didn't learn from her mistakes. Looks like she is starting down the same bad road as before. Is she going to be a smarter criminal this time and not get caught? Does she think that she should not have to work for anything, just take from other people that did work for what they have? Que? Her boyfriend or ex boyfriend is rich,
does she not believe him? Ines seems to be hopeless or a lost cause.

LOL David---Pablo in church with Gisela's lipstick. Ms. La Toodle Do missed a good one there.

Nothing makes any sense. Right Dive, no one in the church said anything when the iron tank (thanks Tofie) came in. Why didn't the people jump up and drag her out? So unrealistic. And if Virginia cannot have children as Lo the Low says, then how is she going to have black babies as Augie says? Was Ms. Toodle Do drinking when she wrote this?

I'm glad that Virginia didn't start weeping and run out of the church, she re-gathered her composure and went on with the wedding. Maybe being blind has given her more strength than most other people have. Her wedding day was ruined but she continued on and made the best of it. Would Esme have done that?

One thing that I did notice and was a little concerned about. The bed for the newly weds was three or four steps up high. Not good for a blind person. If Virginia would wake up in the middle of the night and go to get a glass of water or something and forget that the steps were there, well, it is a bad accident waiting to happen. I didn't like that bed loft at all.

Everyone here is right in that Lo should be in jail for kidnapping.
Are they going to wait for the last day to use our anvil stockpile?
the gringo
 

Just a thought---The bed up high kind of on a loft level is also the setting in one of the other novelas---Hasta El Fin. Maybe Televisa is trying to use as few different sets as possible to save money. Still, you would not want to put a blind persons bed up high like that. A bad set choice.
the gringo


 

I think it was Pablo and Esme's nookie cabin after the civil wedding, too. They're getting as much mileage out of it as possible.

I suppose by now Virginia is used to being super-aware of her surroundings, but there's only so much you can do if you roll over on that narrow bed without even fully waking up!
 

Lila- Your great La Gata comments are going over to the Quiero Amarte feed. You can probably copy and paste them here.
 

Kat- I thought it looked liked the same bed Pabs and Esme used as well. And I see gringo has seen it used in Hasta as well. If they are saving all this money, can they use it to hire good writers who come up with original ideas?
 

Vivi, thank you for letting me know I was putting my LG posts on the QA board. I'm getting the dumb bug from watching this. I'll post my comments here in a minute!
 

You are welcome, La Paloma! You and me both are tired of the dead beat "good guys"! What a useless bunch! Like one of my friends said above, Carlos and Virginia need to go far, far away from this bunch of losers! They're so stupid, they're dangerous!
 

Hey, Bryan! You know what? That's a damned good point about the bed! Hadn't thought of that! Well, I think our Carlos will be extra attentive. Maybe when we weren't looking he let Virginia sleep next to the wall!

And yeah re Lo. You'd think if the law didn't take care of Lo's crimes, there'd be some basura vigilante justice goin' down! Pero nada!

 

Thank you, Carvivlie! Yep, you and Bryan make the same excellent point
but guys, you know that is too much like sensible for the bed to be safe for Virginia. You know who we're working with here, doncha?

 

Gringoooooo! Hey, brother! Thank you, thanks a lot!

Yeah gringo, Ines is pretty much a dope. A dope AND a loser!

Yep again, I think the the killer pregnancy thing is b.s.!

And gringo, when you admire Virginia's resolve after that vicious attack by Lo and you ask "Would Esme have done that?" I think we know the answer. As Esme herself said, Carlos and Virginia is more mature than all of them!

Thank you gringo for joining Bryan and Carvivlie for noting the treacherous setting for the bed. What caring guys y'all are! LaToodle-Poo Poo-o and gang never thought about it for sure.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised it Augie, Lo and Gisela escape anvils by running off the Italy or something.

Thanks for being one of LG's, and we recappers biggest fans, gringo!

 

Didn't Esme also have a bed in a loft like that when she moved out of her father's house? I seem to remember someone mentioning that she blithely and dangerously danced down those rail-less stairs (in heels!) while holding BOTH babies!
 

Mariano, Pablo and Virginia still own the house Lo and Augie live in right? They should kick them out to the streets!
 

Lila - Great recap!! Thanks so much!!!

Creepy - That was the vibe I got when Dr. Javier asked Esme if he could touch her face.

As was mentioned, it's silly that Esme is letting Dr. Javier on making him think she's thinking over the marraige propsal. JUST TELL HIM "NO" ALREADY!

I suppose Pablo let Gisela smooch all over him in retailation over Gata letting her face be touched.

That was so nice of Padre Rivas to escort Lorenza out of church. I LOVED his facial expression as he came back in. BTW what happened with Agustin. One minute he was there then he wasn't. Huh?

That was the SAME honeymoon suite were Pablo and Esme conceived the non-growing twins. I'm hoping the sheets were changed.
 

Thanks, Mauricio! Yep! Several people have noted that bed Carlos and Virginia shared on their first night: I'd say "used" sheets are almost as big a danger as the cliff on Virginia's side of the bed. Yikes!

Apparently they saved big bucks on lots of things: the location, wardrobe, sets... even what they pay the actors: I guess that's why they have so many flashbacks and long moments when nobody's saying a dang thang!
