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.

Anxious to read your always great recaps, Jard.

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.
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?
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.

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.
No one paid any attention to Isabitch in disquise? No one noticed err trendy little car with racing stripes?
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.
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.
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.

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