La Gata #105 Tuesday 1/27/15 The One With All the Flashbacks

I could barely keep my eyes open during this episode. So...um...yeah.
  • Gisela plays roundy roundy for a bit and decides she is going to find Pablo and drag him to Italy if she has to. She leaves to look for Pablo (note: pillows are neatly arranged on couch.)
  • Pablo sneaks in right after Gisela leaves looking for information or memories (note: pillows are strewn about the floor.)
  • Fer and Esme have an incessant conversation about her being back in the basurero with her peeps. Then he tells her about each peep she left behind and how much they miss her. He's also not thrilled with her current standard of living and wishes she would let him get her some things. Oh, some ridiculous story about the Esme and Pabs story just starting. Please. It started a long time ago and it's time to put it out of its misery.
  • Gi goes to Fer HQ and she, Blanca, Jarocha and Meche get into a screaming match. 
  • After Fer's visit, the cops stop him and ask where Esme is. He says they will need to talk to his lawyer. Pabs walks by (I think the director said "Look casual. Make yourself noticed, but not obvious.")
  • Lo thinks Gi should not have gone to Fer's. Gi is just ready to get the hell out of Mexico. Lo says she will have to sacrifice and resign herself to Pabs being far away if that means he's away from La Maldita Gata.
  • Fer approaches Pabs. Hearing "Fernando de la Santa Cruz" triggers a memory. Pabs remembers an Esme Cruz, or at least some semblance of something. Fer tells Pabs that Gi has no part in his life and offers to take Pabs to his real family.
  • Gi looks for Pabs at the barranca. Mariano is also there monologue-ing and crying about missing his bro and Esme. Gi makes fun of him, then changes tactics and tells Mariano to try a "real woman" (hasn't she tried that before?) She thinks it would be fun to foul the barranca with their whoopie. Mariano turns her down and tells her the barranca is already fouled with her poison.
  • Blanca gets the news that La Gata has been found. Jarocha and Meche are thrilled. And not just Esme....Pablo, too! Damian looked pissed.
  • Fer leaves Pabs and Esme to talk. Pabs tries to explain about his amnesia, but Esme scoffs that  that's just a lame device only used in crappy telenovelas to stretch a story, much the same way breadcrumbs can stretch a pound of ground chuck. Pablo asks to stay with Esme. She agrees.
  • Lo tells Gi to be patient. There's no way Pabs is with Esme because if they were they would be at the barranca canoodling.
  • Jarocha is excited that Pablo and Esme have been found. She thinks smoochies are on the horizon. Mariano asks how Jarocha knows so much about love. Is she in love? Did she say no? I didn't even register what she said.
  • Pabs holds Hat Baby (Ha!! Is he a Hat Brother, too?)
  • Fer, Blanca and Mariano celebrate finding Esme and Pabs.
  • Garabato goes to see Ines. La Gata is not dead, so Ines is not inclined to be nice to him. He tries to explain that Fer killed his dad and that they are going to try to see that his mother's killer faces justice. He explains in vain that he is now one of those finolis that she so despised, but she's an insulting bitch and won't listen. She tells him again that her baby is going to the highest bidder. That is her final word. She's annoying the shit out of me. Get over yourself. Do the crime, do the time. Your dumb ass assaulted someone in front of a crowd.
  • Pabs thinks he should go to the doctor and get checked up. He wants Esme to go with him. Esme is going to go get veggies for a caldito. She's leaving Pabs to take care of the kids. She makes sure to put on her newsboy cap.
  • Mariano tells Lo that Pabs is with Esme where no one can find her. Lo correctly surmises that they are in the dump. Somewhere in here we are treated to another shot of the tableau: Russian Revolutionary Looks Out Over the Shit of the Proletariat.
  • Lo calls the cops and reports Esme's whereabouts.

It's bedtime for this bonzo. See ya' tomorrow, peeps!
 

Did it seem like a lot of flashbacks to you guys?
 

Gracias, Sara! I'm not even done watching the episode, and I couldn't resist checking out the recap so I could see what hell I was in for. Unlike your fabulous bullet points, this episode is d...r...a...g...g...i...n...g!

I'm waiting for Pablo to remember Esme and remember that she never does listen to him and always has to have everything her way and just get the hell outta there! All the flashbacks are doing is annoying me. Get on with it already! Oh, I guess the other purpose of the flashbacks was so we could remember how awesome the young Pablo actor was.

Um, wait a sec...did Esme just say she likes this new version of Pablo and wants him to wait to get checked out by a doctor so she can have one more night of him like this? Yeah, who cares if he might have permanent damage to his tiny, tiny brain. Let's just live in la-la land for another night, since clearly this relationship can't survive the real world.

"Russian Revolutionary Looks Out Over the Shit of the Proletariat" priceless!

She must be stashing a flat iron and a large-barrel curling iron in that hut somewhere. Plus some product. Either that or she had a keratin treatment and it hasn't worn off yet. Every once in a while they make her hair look a little limp, like it's been 24 hours since she styled it, but never more than that. Hey, maybe that's why she's trying to keep everyone up all night beading--that way she won't crush the hair.
 

Thank you Sara for the comprehensive recap--well done and much appreciated!

Hate to admit it but Pablo seems more mature and reasonable with amnesia. Love how El Sil just drops him off in Esme's place with no word about his amnesia.

Thank goodness Mariano dodged the bullet and evaded Gisela's evil sardonic flirtation in the woods. Ugh, don't go there, Big Guy! J in Oregon loves u!

J.
 

"It started a long time ago and it's time to put it out of its misery."

Always succinct, always appreciated, Sara

Damien - not pissed, gotta piss

Esmeralda - always had a zombie fetish

Pablo - she is easier on the eyes than the other one

Twins - everybody else may forgive, forget and have pity on em, but we ain't

Mariano - lit'l Mariano says go for it and promises not to tell

Lorenza - playing both ends against the middle

Augie - more flashbacks of me, please, the young debonair Augie

Gisela - tired of picking up after that boy

Fernando - One score and a couple years ago......zzzzzzzzzzzz

Victor - guess I'll have to give the millionaire matchmaker a call

 

Thanks, Sara! Won't pretend to have watched but I still KNOW it was much better than the ep. I see you got that same powerful shot I did:

Russian Revolutionary Looks Out Over the Shit of the Proletariat.

Love it, girl, love it!

I think LaToodle-Poodle had a bunch of scenes in her mind and thinks the panoramic dump scene is like the wide shot of the train yard carnage in Gone With the Wind. Dream on, pooh-pooh meister.

Thanks, Sara.
 

Hey, great list as usual tofie! My fave: zombie fetish! Tee hee!
 

Thanks for the recap!

I did like Pablo in this episode. He seems so open and nice because he isn't carrying around all of the crap from this show anymore. The way I would've felt if I hadn't started watching this!
 

Thanks, Sara, as 5ft says, your recap was way more entertaining than the draggy episode.

Okay, so last night we learned that amnesia can cause you to forget how to be stupid?

Looks like fireworks tonight, and I'll bet Esme blames it on Pablo.

David
 

Sara---Your Russian Revolutionary
line belongs in the novela recappers Hall of Fame.

Can't wait (yes it's true) for esta noche. Our raven haired revolutionary goddess gets nabbed by the police. Wait till the cat in her comes out. The police will be sorry that they ever found her
you think? Go Gata!!!
the gringo


 

I have mixed feelings about tonight. It feels like they gave everything away in the previews, so I'm hoping there's something more than that to look forward to.

David, I think you're right. This is all going to be Pablo's fault somehow, never mind that Fernando brought him there.

gringo, I bet the actual "taking her in" scene goes about like the one in Norma Rae...only with more claws!

Carvivlie, your take on Pablo's new attitude is so right on. Maybe I need to develop amnesia before tonight. I wouldn't count on it, though!

Lila, as La Virgen is my witness, I will never watch a LaToodle show again!

tofie, "Twins - everybody else may forgive, forget and have pity on em, but we ain't" hell yes! When Fernando was trying to offer things to Esme and she kept turning him down, I really thought there needed to be a thought bubble over the twin's head saying "No, Grandpa! Don't listen to her! Take me with you!!!"

J-I'm glad Mariano turned down Gi with far less drama than the last time!

I'm sad for Blanca. After all this crap, she still doesn't get to be with her entire family. And I'm kinda pissed that when Fernando pointed that out Esme was just kinda "Oh, yeah, well, that sucks for mom, huh. Tell her I said hi."
 

Don't know how much more of Esmeralda and that stupid hat I can take ( infact all the hats). . Do the writer think they need to keep the baby in a hat so we can tell the "twins" apart?

I think I am going to depend on meeting the patio peeps to keep up with what is going . IF the plot ever gets around to the real mystery (just who is Lo?) I will be glued to my TV.
 

Yeah, Blanca got the short end. Augie drove her nuts and Fernando keeps her under house arrest. In her youth she drove the men wild, she could dump Fernando's lumbering ass, revive her career, bask in the adoration of male groupies and see her daughter whenever. Fernando is such a drag and a nope sayer.
 

Many thanks for stopping by the patio, my dears.

Today was my day with no planning day and this is the first chance I've gotten to visit the patio. I'm sorry I didn't get to address each of you individually.

And a HUGE thanks to all the commenters who contributed to the "Russian Revolutionary" line. Most of "my" good lines are really patio group thinks. I like when we collaborate on our recaps. ;-)
 

Thanks to Eli and Sara for our two most recent and excellent summaries.
I was so disappointed in Mariano for spilling los frijoles to his mother. He should know Lo well enough by now. Surprised he didn't agree to shag Gisela as well.

La Gata=Russian Revolutionary. LOL at this drink-spewing description.

I need to see Lo kidnapped and taken to the dump for some Rita time. Rita could make her crazy and the guys could teach her to make her own jewelry.
 

Would the originator of the Russian Revolutionary please stand up? I can't remember who you are :(
