Mi Corazón 122: No More Bet Debt For Johnny And Bela’s Scheme Wrecks Seba’s Dancing Dreams


Fanny and Leon admit their stolen/surprise non-kisses to each other and make up.  FF>>

Disguised as the Little Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe, Isabela walks along the stairstepped pathway at the Lascurain children’s private school, and with a twist of her cane, trips Sebastian as he’s demonstrating a dance move to Sarai.  Seb is screaming that his foot hurts and he can’t move.  Neither can the only other adult within hearing distance, apparently—the Lascurain’s chauffeur. He stands at attention like a wooden soldier and does absolutely nothing during the entire event.  (What’s he even in the darn scene for?  Must be somebody’s couch snatch.)  Alicia calls Ana who calls Don Fernando who calls El Médico Mágico de Angel while Bitchabelly escapes into her car and laughs all the way back to her apartment.  


Don Ferd tells Ana he’s afraid she’ll tire of hearing how much he appreciates all that she’s done for his family.  “—Never!”  

At the clinic Seb now is seen in a wheelchair with a cast on his foot.  Seems he has a torn ligament in his ankle and will be in a cast for a month and who knows how long on crutches since he’s got rehabilitation following the cast’s removal.  Dance is a word of the past….No contest for him, suggests Ferd!  Not necessarily, argues Ana!  "Have faith.  Anything can happen!"

Across town, the fight preparations are taking place.  Johnny learns the odds are 20 to 1 against him.  Don Doroteo tells him he’s bet the whole wad on him to win and so he darned well better!  If he does his debt is forgotten and he’ll get 20% of Don Rot’s winnings in addition.  If he loses—well, he’d better not!

Bitchabelly arrives at work later that morning and feigns absolute horror and totally sympathy when Beti tells her about Seb’s “accident”.  Beti advises her that there’s something wrong with her makeup.  BB races off to fix it.

The ten round fight is about to begin.  Jens informs Johnny about Seb’s accident and that that’s the reason Ana isn’t able to be there for him.  

Beti brings in a gift basket to Bela from Don Rot.  BB turns her nose up and expresses her disgust at the gesture.

The Hammer tells Johnny he’s going to make mincemeat out of him.  Johnny goes a few rounds and is knocked out.  He finally wakes up and his trainer tells him they may pull the fight on him for points for bad form or inability to carry on physically or some such which has to do with the rules of boxing.   Johnny refuses to throw in the towel, though.   

Yo Mama calls Bela to chat and BB brags about her latest scheme that brought Seb’s dancing contest dream to a screeching halt, literally.  Bela is happy as a clam [“feliz como una lombriz” or, if you will, a slut in smut].  

It’s the final round of the fight and Jennifer tells Johnny he’s got to win the fight.  He asks her what she’s willing to give him if he does.  He wants a chance to win her over.  She says okay, that she’ll think about it.  He’s on cloud 9 then and the hope of having a chance to win her heart gives him the strength to make mincemeat out of El Martillo, which he does.  It’s a knockout and Johnny miraculously wins the fight.  …♫♪Happy days are here again! The skies above are clear again!  So let's sing a song of cheer again♪♫…  

Down in the dressing room Johnny reminds Jens that now he’s out of debt forever!  Don Rot walks in and hugs him.  Johnny agrees to continue fighting for him, especially if he’s going to be in the money like this.  Don Rot says he’s a man of his word.   He shares his earnings and rewards Johnny by wiping out his debt with him.  Johnny asks if with his earnings he can also choose to pay of Ana’s debt, but Don Rot turns vicious and reminds him that Ana, as he told Diego Lascurain when he asked him the same thing, is his very own gold mine.  So, N.O.!!!! 

Back at the Lascurain manse, Angel refuses to take any money for treating the Lascurain family.  It’s like it’s his family also.  Don Ferd offers to take him out to dinner instead and this he does not refuse—and of course, Sole and Ana are invited too.

At El Chicago once again, Don Rot gets a surprise visit from Bitchabelly who refuses to become Don Rot’s mobster moll.  He painfully watches in disbelief as she begins tearing bunches of dollar bills (pesos?) into bits as she warns him off coming anywhere near her or her mother ever again especially with romantic intentions.

You mean Sebas won't be able to dance in the contest?....Yay!....he's an awful dancer!

Anxious to read your always great recaps, Jard.

It's done and up now. Quicker work than I thought, though not much happening this time. Yep, Seb won't be doing any shuffle off to Buffalo--well, maybe a shuffle, but no Hip-Hop, for damned sure! Je-Je!
 

Jardinera,

Swift and funny! Slut in the smut -- that will turn over and over in my mind all day. Love it.

I did like Isabela tearing up the bills. Her only good turn, being so completely cruel and ridiculous in tripping Sebas. (I was hoping that Ana would suggest that he choreograph something with the other kids.)

The tremor kept her from offing Enrique, or at least trying. Another good moment.

Fernando back at work two days, two hospital trips! I was relieved to see some time pass when he actually seems to have been able to attend to the business.


 

Jardinera this is perfect. Bitchabelly a classic!

I tasted bile and Juan and Jenny didn't even kiss.


 

Gracias, Jardinera.

Not that I wanted to see Sebas and Sarai dance, but I think we can all agree that Bitchabelly definitely has gone beyond the crossed line with this one. My most fervent wish is that once the baby is born Ana, Soledad, Fanny, Edith, and Jen all get their pointiest shoes ready and kick her clear across Mexico.

BTW, was this the entire episode shown last night?
 

Loved the recap, Jardinera. Imagree with Tofie that "Bitchabelly" is a classic.

I was in Dejà Vu Land last night with The Hammer (professional wrestler known as both stage name Marco Corleone and real name Mark Jindrak) and his now legendary line "Voy a hacerte picadillo." The last time I heard the actor deliver that line was when he played Uri Petroski in "Porque el Amor Manda" and routinely delivered the same line to Jesús played by Fernando Coulnga. You want to talk about type casting or what? Very funny.

Enrique should be thankful to the earthquake gods when he regains consciousness. Too bad he will never know why.

Isabela sure is getting sloppy as she becomes more crazy and desperate. I like that the secretary saw the poorly removed makeup on her face.

Poor Pablo didn't know how to join in on the family hug so settles for a hand on Fernando's shoulder but all he gets is the "look". Cute kid.

Can't wait to see what kind of anvil awaits Isabela.

No way Johnny could have won that fight. Marco Corleone as Ury Petrovsky "El Ruso" from PEAM , the hammer is 6'6" . It would be like felling a tree. Glad he did though, just can't imagine why Johnny is even in this though, sth good is going to happen, I guess.

The only way Fer is going to find out about Isa's latest evil, is if Yomama spills the frijoles to one of the good guys.
 

Since Yomama loves her margaritas let's hope she gets drunk enough to spill. And that Ramona has a conscience.
 

I wish Leon and Fanny would hook Laura up with Lenin. Since Laura and Fanny cant keep their tongues in their mouths they could be a swapping foursome and everyone would be happy.
No one paid any attention to Isabitch in disquise? No one noticed err trendy little car with racing stripes?
 

great succint recap. Thanks Jardinera! yup not much happening except another Ana/Fer trip to hospital, and Isa clearly is beyond any line that can be drawn for her
 

I bet she dies because of her evil and hatefulness and Fernando and Ana end up raising that baby! Pero what about Isabella's momma???
 

You know, I hate the kid got hurt, especially intentionally, but the Sebastian production was way over the top. Guess if he had cut himself Fernando would have called Johnson & Johnson corporate offices for a Band-Aid.

Soladad looked a little too enthused when she spied Angel crushing on Ana last night, wonder when she starts to encourage a pursuit? Nic encouraged Diego.

Jarifa, my favorite last night too, was Pablo's hesitation to touch Fernando and when he did the look.

So, somebody finally inquired about Ana's debt (thank you Jenny, Juan wouldn't have thought of it on his own) and we get the same 'cash cow' spiel. When will Ana inquire? Has she even read her contract? Why not introduce a hunky abogado into the mix with a crush on her that will go to the mat with Doroteo?

Ah, 7 months has transpired for Bitchabelly.

 

Which means that about 8 months have passed since the opening episode. That means that Ana's "contract" will be over in 4 months. What do you think Dorofeo will do then?
 

Jardinera
Great recap. Thanks so much. Hated the Johnny fight scene of course. Just can't stomach this J/J pairing. >>>>>FFFFFF

Hopefully, Isa is asking for trouble by not making "nice" with Doro.

I hold out no hope at all that Yoyo will turn around and do what is right.

Can't believe that that no one on this show can put 2 + 2 together. Whatever happened to a possible murder attempt on Don Nico? These writers are leaving WAY TOO MANY loose ends. Maybe Siete should turn detective; he'd be a lot more successful than any of the current nitwits.
 

Don't hold Dorofeo to any contract time window... the guy never agreed to Diego paying Ana's debt and there is probably no date stated in Ana's contract and even if there was, i doubt Ana worried about taking a copy with her so Doro has a good stronghold on her until someone calls the authorities on Doro... and just deals with his 'response'.
 

As long as Doroteo knows she is fearful of Fernando knowing he has bargaining power, contract or no contract. If Fernando knows and Doroteo decides to threaten the kids or Ana, would be the last threat he'd make. Ana, herself, gives Doroteo the power. It doesn't help that even when her ex bf Juan could get away he won't and continue to fight for the guy, opening himself up again for entrapment. Jenny is just a lemming at this point. Now Dana's efforts are for nothing because if she brings Doroteo down, Juan's gravy train ends and he has nothing to offer Jenny except more failure.
 

Gracias J !! There was a scene that I may be confusing with the promos about the kids getting together for yet another staged dance routine, but not sure how or why that fit in. Funny about a bandaid from the J&J CEO re: the whole over-the-top Sebas crying. Agreed, pretty funny too about the chauffeur just standing immobile while Alicia springs into action. And bloody close ups of Johnny are stomach churning, come to think of it, any shots of Johnny are stomach churning. No Jen, just NO. So many actors from PEAM. Wasn't Doroteo a sidekick of the curly headed cutie in PEAM? Actually he's a good actor.
 

What was that whole 50s production thing?
 

Oh this was perfect for last night's episodes. Once I turned off the fight scenes, not much happened it seemed once Isa got her juvenile revenge done. Thanks for the recap!!

I was also going to mention that "Grease" routine all the kids seemed to be prepping for and then.....We have so many dropped plot points and scenes lately. Driving me nuts.

Yeah, she says sarcastically, Johny is out of debt. How about taking the cash and taking a loooonnnnnggggg cruise somewhere, until maybe episode 199. I'm so bummed they are pushing Jen with him.

Thinking of Sebas, I thought of one of the first season Glee shows where Arnie was front and center on a song with dancing. He's the character in the wheelchair. Wonder if they will do something similar. They seem bent on giving us musicals numbers with him, so....

So previews--Isa is about to pop the cork and everyone looks grim...hmmmm. Do I sense a certain person may just have to move into the mansion again for care with her baby? I wouldn't put it past these writers.

Daisynjay

 

Thanks, Jardinera, for your fantastic recap!

Nanette - I have the same question. What was the whole point of the 1950s video the kids were making?

I really hope Ramona was hired by Fernando as a spy. She has lots of great dirt on Isabruja.

Speaking of Isabruja, Fernando knows she tried to kill Siete (and lied about it), smashed Ana's guitar (and lied about it), verbally and physically abused Sebas (and lied about it), and posed as Soledad's long lost daughter (she couldn't lie about that one), etc. If I met someone like Isabruja, I would, at very least, question her sanity, which leads to my question: why the heck does he trust her with any responsibility at La Costena, much less keep her on as Vice President? Que!?!
 

yeah that 'Grease lightning' video thing with Leon directing was weird...
 

Thanks for the recap!

I felt really bad for little Sebs. I like the actor and though I'm not a fan of his dancing, I think he's pretty good for a kid his age. Even if he wasn't, kids should be nurtured in what they love and he loves to dance.

I'm not too happy with the writers for coming up with a scene where an adult physically hurts a child. This is supposed to be a comedy.

So time moves on and Isa is ready to explode. Hope she literally does.

Yomama still acting aghast at what her bsc daughter is doing but still remains silent, even while a child is hurt...when is she going to do the right thing?!

Ana wasn't going to tell Fer about her dancing because it was close to the holidays and she would tell him afterwards. In this episode we seemed to have jumped time a bit but how much? Shouldn't xmas now be imminent?
 

Is the whole 'Greased Lighting' theme a tribute to Elvis' recent birthday! Jaja.
 

EB,
Fernando is just too dumb or dimwitted to figure such important facts out or put Ramona in as a spy!
 

Sanity checks for all characters, not just Bitchabelly! This whole codependency thing is sick.

Glad Nico sent the divorce papers last time and I do think that Angel should fall for Jens and leave Johnny to Dana. Reina and Lenin should get hooked up. Laura needs to be banished to the other side of Mexico to gold dig there.

Yo Low knows she'll lose her meal ticket if she doesn't hook up with someone. There is no someone interested in her. Maybe a blind someone????


 

Ecuador Bound: Good question. Anser--tighten your beanie!
 

The actor who plays Johnny (whoever the ugly dude is) must have something really big on Osorio. Why else would his mug be getting more and more time on screen?
 

Adrián Uribe is the actor who plays Johnny and is a well loved talent of his own in México.

Jarifa
 

He hasn't the looks, but he apparently can really dance--as in major talent and choreography, etc.
 

He is also quite the comic.

Jarifa
 

He may be talented and all, but I agree with Anon 4:35 - he still grosses me out - yuck!
 

Lenin is so gross. What a pig.
 

here is a bit of what Mayrin used to look like when she started ... check around 19:30 in this clip.

Jardinera- Ramona said she'd take her with her far away
 

I'm watching Alma de Hierro right and Adrian Uribe's character Ezequiel is more loveable and less marketed than Johnny. He apparently was adopted by Ale Camacho and Blanca Guerra (Antonio and Elena.)
