La Gata #87 1-1-15 In which brainless parents are more harmful than the Big Bad Wolf!
Happy New Year my suffering sisters and brothers on the La Gata Patio. Let's do this!
Blanca with Leti and Jarocha join Esme and the Big Dummy. Esme rants that G is the devil, she’s a demon and she can’t get away with this, she’s evil, she’s crazy, she’s perverse. . .
Next: Episode 88
We open with another look at Esme’s demonstration of her ability to walk for El Sil, Blanca, Jarocha, her babies and creepy doc. The babies are the best. Pablito stares at her with wonder then appears to get choked up while Leti stares at the pretty lights in the ceiling. Oops! They suddenly switch and now Pablito is transfixed by the lights while Leti watches the unfolding miracle! Creepy doc just stares blankly and smiles.
Rita grills on the patio of her new digs. Her clothes hang naco-style on the balcony. Time for a little diversion with her cards. Seems Rita has hung out a shingle which doesn’t please the building manager. He threatens to have her evicted. She attacks him, kicking his shins and throws him out. He comes back with reinforcements, a woman of what position I am not sure but she throws them both out.
Esme, Jarocha and Blanca are out for a little picnic in her old verdant stomping grounds. The babies are darling and Esme feels all alive and free having regained her ability to walk!
Lo is at G’s joint. She butters up and dismisses G’s private nurse who gives Lo G’s medicine before she goes. Lo walks over to the sofa and pulls the blanket off of . . . .a foam dummy!? Well, it could be G except for the foam part! Where is that wily Gisela!?
Why she’s at the picnic leering and jeering at the happy scene: Esme with the babies, then whooping it up on a tree swing while Blanca and Jarocha rest on a blanket with the babies. Oh, Blanca is going to try to swing! What fun!
Pablo pisses and moans to Mariano that Esme won’t talk to him. He can’t figure out why. Mariano encourages him to go and look for her. He hesitates because he’s also worried about G: he feels responsible for the shape she’s in. Pablo goes to G’s and talks to Lo about this guilt over G’s catatonia. He even looks over at the covered up foam form as Lo counsels him not to feel guilty. The flesh and blood dummy starts over to say good bye to the foam dummy but Lo successfully diverts him and he leaves.
More hijinks at the swings all observed by G hiding in the foliage. Jarocha goes over to take her turn on the swing; Blanca carries Leti and leaves Pablito on the blanket. The swing is only a few paces away from where they are but G walks up unnoticed, picks up Pablito , holds him away from her body like he’s a piece of garbage and thought bubbles that he is as ugly as his mother. She carries him away!
Poor Damian is back home. Metche has made him comfy in his bed. El Sil asks Damian what he remembers about Esme. We see flashbacks from the good old days at the dump. His speech is inner-focused, almost trance like. He says he’s always loved her. El Sil’s brow furrows.
Where is CPS when you need them? The girls are still playing at the swings and haven’t notice Pablito’s absence yet. G runs away with him cursing Esme with every step. Jarocha has finally had enough and heads back to the blanket against Esme and Blanca’s protests. They all freak out and just then Big Dummy runs up. They all stand there gaping stupidly at the empty blanket.
Cut to hot bearded dump guy who got one of the scholarships. He’s sitting in class wishing he’d listened to Garabato who warned him how boring all this book learnin’ was. Well, speak of the devil! Garabato is out taking in the wonders of nature when he spies a woman carrying something running in the distance.
Jorocha is blaming herself while Esme keeps looking at the ground as if Pablito is a little hamster that scurried into the brush.
Lo is trying unsuccessfully to reach G on her cell and this for some reason turns into a cause to curse La Maldita Gata Raschauche.
El Sil and Metche try to redirect Damian’s passion to a more brotherly expression. He looks like he’s not buying it. He hears Esme’s voice indeed telling him she loves him like a brother. He asks to see her.
Pablo, Esme, Jarocha and Blanca wander around in the same spot with much babbling, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Gisela is doing mindless babbling of her own to Pablito until she tires of him and finds a nice spot in a clearing with soft fallen leaves . . . and a frickin’ wolf licking his chops. . .to lie little Pablito down! Pablito is crying inconsolably and she yells at him more than once to shut up while she chatters incessantly about this serving his father right for not loving her. The wolf looks as if he wants distance between himself and this loca chick! She leaves, the wolf stays with poor Pablito lying there helpless.
Big Dummy shows up so we can get our dose of huggies and pledges of love as he comforts the bawling and distraught Esme.
G watches from a distance as the wolf continues to run his tongue over his sharp teeth and regard little Pablito. We can almost hear “hmmmm what fat chunky little thighs you have!” as G tries to will the wolf to eat little Pablito. Die already you cursed little bastard she sneers with a “smile” that looks much like the wolf’s.
Big Dummy continues to lead Esme through the woods when somehow he sees the wolf and slowly approaches and gingerly picks up Pablito. The wolf, bored, looks away. Garabato has been watching this whole scene and finds it quite amusing. Curses, foiled again! Esme sees G who runs away, right into the arms of Garabato. G struggles to get away. He wants to know exactly what she did and why! G stops struggling.
We suffer a lovesick Cha Cha walking through the dump having a flashback of when he first met Rita and scenes from their geriatric affair. He goes to her old shack and there she is. He kisses her enthusiastically. She was evicted.
Esme kisses Pablito and tells Big Dummy she saw Gisela. He doesn’t seem to understand. She kidnapped our baby! No, no, what are you talking about. He is confused.
Garabato wants G’s contact information cause he wants to wreak vengeance upon La Gata too! He helps G escape.
Blanca with Leti and Jarocha join Esme and the Big Dummy. Esme rants that G is the devil, she’s a demon and she can’t get away with this, she’s evil, she’s crazy, she’s perverse. . .
. . .Big Dummy asks what Esme wants him to do.
Call. The. Police. BD goes off I guess to call the Po Po. Esme tells how Pablito was found hanging out with a wolf. Jarocha and Blanca are outraged!
So is Lo. Where the hell is G?
Garbato and G continue to run through the woods. BD just misses them and tells himself aloud that while this woman is capable of anything, including murder, Esme must be wrong because G is back in her apartment hanging between life and death.
G and Garabato arrive at G’s apartment. She calls him naco to his face and gives him a little moolah for his trouble. They’ll stay in touch.
BD and the three rapidly IQ-shedding women continue to argue in the woods as to whether it was G or not. It’s sad when Big Dummy has the best idea: let’s go home.
Mariano brings El Sil the copy of the sentence. El Sil can get all his stuff back. It ruins his daddy, but El Sil is totally within his rights! El Sil didn’t take anything for himself. He gave instructions for all of his stuff to go to Mariano, Pablo and Virginia! Why? Well, with this sentence, justice has been served: his name has been cleared, he was found innocent of the charge of murder. What more could he want? El Sil will get all his money back because Damian is better now and it all will go to the MN children. Mariano doesn’t accept right away but will think about it. They shake.
BD and the three women and babies are back home. Mariano and El Sil come down the stairs. She tells El Sil that G tried to kill her son. Quick switch to G’s apartment. Lo answers the door and Esme bursts in and flies over to the couch and lights into G lying catatonic on the couch. BD catches and restrains Esme. I saw her, I saw her! Lo says it’s impossible, she has been here taking care of G all day and Pablo himself was right there. BD verifies that this is true. Esme knows what she saw! G remains stonily still and silent.
Suddenly Esme is calm and re-coiffed and in Damian’s room. Yes, he remembers her, he knows every look in her eye, every gesture and now he knows she is worried, isn’t it so? Yes, it is. She is afraid. A crazy woman is trying to destroy her family and she saw her but nobody believes her. She saw her but nobody believes!

Hey y'all, it's been a long day so I didn't have energy to get snarky but this episode deserved it. Please rip this ep apart: it was just beggin' for it! See y'all in the mornin'!
A dingo ate my beanie!
Gracias, Lila. It was plenty snarky with all the foam dummies and real dummies.
I was pissed about Esme waxing rhapsodic about how she's "complete" now that she can feel her legs again. Bite me, Latoodle.
Mariano's discussion with Fernando about how he couldn't just give everything Augie stole to the kids and pretend Augie won the case was unintentionally hilarious. Mariano's right, it's such a ridiculous lie that no one would believe it. I guess someone forgot to tell Mariano to put his beanie on!
Way too much Rita this episode.

Lila your recap was great! You may not have felt snarky but it slipped in there nonetheless.
I was in whoops when I saw that wolf!
Was that supposed to be a Mexican Wolf, subspecies of the Gray wolf but now almost extinct? And it's just wandering around? I was hoping the wolf would grab up the baby and save it from Gisela.
And excuuuuse me but El Sil does not deserve a daughter. He is letting her suffer, thinking she is an orphan when he could change all that with just a word or two. But noooooo. Make her wait until she and Pablo are reconciled because the news that she has parents might be too upsetting. Shheeesh.

Lila, you were right on target. Thank you so much!
I don't know, gang, but I think this one has really lost me. A body can only tighten a beanie so much, ya know.

Good morning y'all!
Diva, J and Fatima, thank you so much for your kind words! I am just speechless. This is just the stupidest crap ever to disgrace a tv screen. LaToodle-oo should've paid some Japanese animators and turned this thing into an anime cartoon and showed it late, late, late night!
Speaking of piss, LaToodle-oo has pissed on just about every segment of viewerville with this mess that's not good enough for the bottom of our shoes!
So. Did I understand this right? El Sil is giving the MN kids ALL his money? Is he that rich? What about Blanca, Esme and the babies? I agree J, he does not deserve a daughter. Nothing she or Blanca has gone through has merited his bestowing the sanctified knowledge of his sireship upon Esme. That's who can bite ME, El Sil, stoopid bastard deserved everything Augie did to him!
And this crew, minus the babies, deserve everything Gisela can dish out. Frickin' psychotic bitch walks in off the street into their homes and lives wreaking havoc and nobody's got enough sense to call the got-damned police for pissin' out loud!
Let Gisela torture them all their lives until they're in nursing homes together and she's putting itching powder in their depends and banana peels under their walkers! Idiots all!

Good morning, Lila, and thanks for this great discourse on craziness and stupidity.
I agree with you that those kids are great. In addition to checking out the overhead lighting, Leti started playing with Pablito's shoulder.
Between the two predators, Gisela and the wolf, the wolf actually seemed to have some maternal instincts, hovering almost protectively over Pablito. I don't care how well trained an animal might be, I don't think I would be comfortable with that scene if it was my baby.
What, no Augie scenes tonight?
I would suggest for the sake of family harmony, any time Esme and Pablo disagree, they immediately sit down and take an IQ test and an eye exam. The results should give them insight as to who is the super-aware Gata, and who is the dumbass.
Looks like Damian's brain got scrambled.

Lila, while the original episode brought me deep disgust, your description of it brought me deep delight. Hilarious!
The animal looking at Pablito may have been called a wolf, but it looked and acted (my opinion) like someone's family dog. Don't know how Gi persuaded it to appear at that spot--did she tell it the bitches were gathering above the ravine?
Garabato and Gisela? Now there's a crack criminal team. The overall theme this episode seemed to be "Everyone rush around and act stupid." Angry with El Sil for his stubborn attitude.
I would really like Damian to morph into Esme's true love, but don't think it will happen.
Rita will be happier back at the dump. She wasn't cut out for the high life.

What you talkin bout Lila I laughed all the way through
"El Sil’s brow furrows"
"They all freak out and just then Big Dummy runs up. They all stand there gaping stupidly at the empty blanket."
"It’s sad when Big Dummy has the best idea: let’s go home."
Garabato - everything can be seen from the cheap seats
Fela - wound too tight
Esmeralda - The Cats Menagerie
Damien - garbage in, garbage out
Jarocha - No thank you, had a client that had one in his house
Gisela - somebody, knock the stuffin out of ya
Fernando - rubbing it in, no, because I feel like friggin santa clause
Mariano - you do know Pablo will blow through his share in a week
The Wolf - Naw, babies give me the runs

Thanks, David! I'm with you on the animal. I think the wolf did indeed have more sense than any of the humans on the set!
Isn't it something that the one person in the whole mix with an actual working brain ends up with it damaged? Guess he'll fit in even better in the curs-ed house of the Santa Cruz.
**********
Thank you La Paloma! The only good thing I can say for this mindless drivel is that it's easy to whip out a quick re-crap!
What disgusted me, La Paloma, was how Gisela kept yelling at the baby to shut up. The poor baby certainly felt the tension as well as heard this harsh, threatening tone! Pablo and Esme are not the only idiot parents in this piece!

tofie! Hey girl, thank you! Just when you think this mess can't get any worse, La Toodle-oo finds a new bottom!
Love the list but here's my fave:
The Wolf - Naw, babies give me the runs Hee Hee!
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid! Girl I could just slap the taste out of their mouths!

I imagine, since these guys are making this shit up as they go, the custodian came in to take out the trash and La Toodle asked them for an idea and they said, hey, just feed the hipster twin to a wolf. Well, La Toodle ain't got the budget for a wolf and a show of the staffs hands produce two doggie options and both are yapper dawgs. Quick trip to the pound and a light sedative, gurrrr, snap, snap, wolf, action.
You are so right tofie! And this schlock beat out LQLVMR in ratings? La Gata must have started an epidemic of cerebral atrophy!
I would really like Damian to morph into Esme's true love, but don't think it will happen.
La Paloma! Now that Damian has brain damage, I think he may start looking really HOT to Esme!

Happy New Year everyone!!!
Thanks so much for this wonderful recap Lila.
What a crazy episode! Gisela was right on when she said "Gata irresponsable". What were the three of them - Gata, Jarohca, and Blamca thinking leaving Palbito all alone? Anyone could have snatched him up and taken him.
Remember when Gata was upset with Pablo for getting Leti wet in the rain? Well, he should have let her have it for leaving his son unattended. Of course he loses points for not believing Esme when she said Gisela had taken Pablito.
The foam doll was a hoot. How original. I'm surprised they didn't put pillows unde the sheet. Pablo telling Esme he had "seen" Gisela at the apartment was silly. He didn't actuslly see her. All he saw was something covered up by a sheet.

Lila- You and this entire recapping team continue to amaze me! Continued high quality, funny as hell recaps every day. I watched the last 8 minutes of this episode and that I was tripping on drugs. Thank goodness I missed the wolf! I busted out laughing when in quick succession Esme went from the wooded area, to catatonic G's place, to staring into the eyes of a catatonic looking Damian. That scene in particular was strange! And what was up with Mariano turning down Sil's offer? Shouldn't he consult with his siblings first?
Dear All Recappers,
Thank you so much for all of your hardwork over the holidays!!!!!
Ive tried to watch but its difficult, not bec of holidays but bec show is so bad. So reading the recaps has been my only joy.
Please someone runover Gisela. I cant take her thru another, what 30+?
What will El Sil., Fela, Esme, babies and everyone else he supports do when he gives over his money? And how long will it take Lo to secure all of it from her hijos?

True. If Sil gives the money to the MN kids, Low would have her hands on it in a minute. Like stealing candy from a baby, a blind girl, and a fool.

Lila---I agree with La Paloma in that the epi was disgusting but not your recap. Loved your recap all the way but come on---itching powder in their depends or banana peels under their walkers??? Have you been thinking about joining the Gisela and Garabato crack criminal team?
La Paloma--- I agree that Rita just isn't cut out for the high life.
Tofie---Your list today is a riot.
I'm still laughing.
I'm still laughing at El Lobo last night. He looked as tame as Plan B and yes---I do believe that he was trying his best to protect little Pablito from Gisela
Even El Lobo can tell that Gisela is one big crazy.
All that I could think about after
little Pablito's kidnapping was the three stooges. Everyone was running around ringing their hands not knowing what to do.
A lot of raging about the stupidity of this novela. Why not find LaToodle-oo. She must be on Facebook and give her a piece of your minds. I would but I'm not on Facebook.

Gringo- I think Nathalie Latoodle knows just how stupid her telenovelas are, and she's laughing all the way to the bank. Why change a good thing? All she does it take old scripts from old tns, tells her writers to exert the least effort possible to update them, hires pretty stars, and watches her ratings shoot up. What's the problem for her?
Did El Sil plan on handing over ALL his assets to the MN kids, or just the part that Augie was forced to fork over of his own (Augie's) assets?
Why would El Sil be giving his own money away? Oh wait, since he doesn't actually have a DAUGHTER to provide for, guess it doesn't matter.
J in Oregon, getting cranky

My understanding of El Sil's money is that he has/had two fortunes. The first was his own that Augie stole when he went to jail. The second he inherited from somewhere right before he got out of jail. Fortune #2 is the one that was tied up while Damian was a vegetable. Now that he's awake, El Sil has that fortune again. Fortune #1 is the one the judge just gave back to him, and that he's handing over to the MN kids. Still his money. Still rightfully the money of Esme and her kids. Still dumb for him to give it away.
Vivi is correct about which fortune Augie wants to give to the MN kids.
I can see where he wants the kids to have the money because some of it IS money that Augie earned himself, that would have gone to them anyway, and they have no blame for what he did. But on the other hand, none of them need it. They've all got jobs, in part because they were able to benefit from having all that money while they were growing up. Handing them a "fortune" none of them knows how to manage (ok, maybe Mariano has a clue) is just begging for Lorenza or Augie to get their hands on it. And I don't trust either of them to just take the money and go away.
Lila, I've seen some wacky stuff in anime series, and yet, it still makes sense. Esme would translate very easily to that style, though...big eyes, slightly pointed chin, glossy hair.
"The Wolf - Naw, babies give me the runs" tofie, that almost made me spit my coffee!
"Pablo telling Esme he had "seen" Gisela at the apartment was silly. He didn't actually see her. All he saw was something covered up by a sheet." Yes, Mauricio! Excellent point! For all he knows it could have been Gisela, or her nurse, or a pile of pillows, or a creepy doll.... He'd probably swear to it in a court of Telenovela law, too. And nobody would bother asking how he knew it was her or to describe exactly what he saw.

Yes, novella is truly awful and the writing is atrocious. Here's my beef: When La gata saw Gisela in the woods, why the hell didn't she scream that Gisela is right there! Why did she see her, stare at her, wait until she ran away and then say something the big dummy. And when she did, why didn't he run after her right away why was he waiting??? These writers are idiots!

They didn't even talk to each other for a lot of that scene, if I remember correctly. Most of it was in thought bubbles. That freaked me out. But it was very representative of the problem with Esme and Pabs...they don't talk to each other!
I'll say this for La Toddle, never in a million years did I contemplate a Gisela/Garabato evil duo of doom. Never
Hey Mauricio! Thank you! Isn't it just too like Pablo to have fallen for the old "foam dummy under the blanket" trick? And Mauricio, what is so funny about it is he had just thought to himself that G was capable of anything and then he doubts the love of his life, the mother of his baby who has just suffered the trauma of having one snatched; he doubts HER and the psychotic Gisela gets more points for credibility?
Hi Vivi! Girl, this show is just jaw-dropping stoopid EVERY night! I would love to know what the actors think of it but they know who butters their bread so I can't be mad at them. It's just, it's just all together too much sometimes! You mention Esme's quick appearing and disappearing acts: yes, thank goodnes they're cutting this puppy up and we'll be done soon!
The whole El Sil giving up all his bennies to the MN kids is just idiotic! Why did he go through all this venganza crap! He could have just let Augie keep it all in the first place. I know, I know, clear his name! He hasn't done anything with a clean name either. He won't let Blanca claim his daughter and won't tell Esme he's her dad. IDIOTIC!!

Carvivlie! Thank you soooo much! We love being appreciated! See my many rants on G-spot to see what I think of her. At this point, though, I think I have more contempt for all of them letting this stranger walk into their lives and abuse them, even their babies! Yah. Pretty bad.
True. If Sil gives the money to the MN kids, Low would have her hands on it in a minute. Like stealing candy from a baby, a blind girl, and a fool.
HA! Word!
HA! Word!
Lila- Are they cutting it at Uni? Or was that just bad editing out of Latoodle's carp tn factory? I thought it was the original editing.
Hey Viv, thanks for bringing gringo's comment to the board!
Thanks gringo! Hee Hee! These guys just ask for everything G does to them with their stupidity and lack of suspicion and peripheral vision!
gringo I thought of the 3 stooges too, but I like those guys: I didn't want to insult their legacy!
Re LaToodle-oo, I hear ours is a minority opinion: I don't think she would care!

Vivi at 4:04: Girl, bless you for being able to make sense out of this. Amazing!

You are welcome, emeraldrose and thanks for hanging on the patio through this maddening mess!

Hey Bryan. Excellent point! Why didn't she scream indeed? Yeah the writers ARE idiots and I guess they're going for a train wreck attraction!

Vivi, you think this is their editing? Probably is. I guess I'm giving them too much credit thinking the transitions were better and their cutting to shorten the show. Oh well!
Univision is not cutting down LA GATA nor will they given its ratings, about half a million more viewers a night than the previous time slot occupant DE QUE TE QUIERO TE QUIERO; the maddening editing is all on the original production team.
Yikes! Thanks for the info RG. It really is maddening, the constant feeling that something's missing. It's not much comfort to know that it's due to the original editing and not later cuts.
Thank you Lila. Very funny.
Also, "did a Dingo eat my beanie?" Hysterical.
Why didn't Pablo express any surprise at seeing Esmeralda walking? Also, Gisela never expressed any surprise at seeing Esme walking. Did I miss something?
Mr. LN is wondering why no one was surprised to see a wolf in the middle of the DF.
I remember Kendra in Amores Verdaderos received an anvil by wolves, but they sent her out to the middle of nowhere before she met up with those wolves.

Thank you, LN. Good points! All good points! What can we say? All those millions of people must be under the spell of Esme's beauty and are truly left mesmerized and enthralled by the wickedness of Gisela while to most of us its all a bunch of refried bullshit!
Go figure.
