La Gata #116 - Wed 2/11 - La Ironia
Pablo regrets saying he wanted a separation, per Fernando. And now that he's said it, he doesn't know how to take it back.
Augie advises Lo to get Esme out of the house. No worries, Lo's got a plan. And she's going to get Mariano, too, damnit.
HatBroShrink is up in…Mariano's apartment? planting the One Ring.
Fortuitously, Esme and Mariano arrive at the House of Horrors, laughing about some joke. Lorenza chastises Esme for having been to Mariano's apartment to pick up gifts for the kids. A married woman! In a single man's apartment! People will talk! Pablo scowls along behind her. Agreeing, I think, rather than wanting her to STFU. Gi calls the house, pretending to be Mariano's maid, asking what she's supposed to do with the ring the young lady left between the sheets at his house. I pause for several swigs of cider. It's not that this is anything new. It's not even that Pablo's reaction is going to be anything new. Oh, well, maybe that's what it IS. That it's the same old stupid crap and it's going to work, yet again. Pablo looks suspiciously at Mariano and Esme smiling at each other.
Mariano apparently lost his suitcase in France and is telling the story to the family over dinner. The suitcase was recovered, but who cares about that. The important thing is that Lo is pre-emptively gloating, Mariano and Esme are smiling at each other, Pablo is chugging wine and looking at Esme and Mariano, and Pablito is finally eating again. Whatever. The kid probably has a stash of candy bars in his room. I'm not buying the hunger strike.
Pablo invites himself back to Mariano's apartment to make insinuations and spy. Mariano doesn't really want to talk about his love life and tells Pablo to beat it when Pablo asks if he's still in love with Esme. "Respect my privacy!" Pablo points out the ring, but Esme hadn't been there until today. Pablo says he believes in them both…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK, sorry, where was I…Oh, Pablo says he believes in them both…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*gasp* Sorry, sorry, I'm ok now. Ahem. OK, well, Pablo says he believes in them both…HAHAHA…it's ok, it's ok, I'm fine now…HAHAHA…ahem…but that if they're lying to him, his life is going down the crapper. Mariano says that's crazy talk. "Oh, yeah? Why was the ring here?!"
Lo locked the kids in their bedrooms so Esme wouldn't take them. Lo now wants Leti, too, but only because she knows it will hurt Esme. Esme has had it and vows to make good on all the times Lo has called her a low-down, filthy, good for nothing.
Dorila calls Fernando in a panic…Esme has snapped at last! Yeah, yeah, we'll see. Once again, Fernando goes off to solve all the problems in the world and leaves his poor helpless little woman at home waiting for him. Screw that, if he really wanted to take care of business, he'd let Fela loose on that bigoted wack job!
"Why do you hate me so much?" Really, Esme? Why the hell does it matter? What answer could possibly satisfy you? And the answer, of course, is "Because you're poor." No, Lo, your "love" is not "enough" for Pablo and since when do you want to eradicate poverty? Oh, by killing all the poor people…got it.
While Lo is screaming at Esme, Pablito is in his room listening to the whole argument and crying. Specifically, he hears Lo saying that Pablo should have married Monica, Mariano should have married some girl "of our class" and so should Virginia have…or died. "She's the only one who got the end she deserved." With every passing word she reduces the chances that there could ever be a punishment terrible enough for her. "But, no, you had to show up and seduce both my sons and make them fall in love with poverty and the stench of the dump…and for that, you're going to die." The beginning of what I would HOPE is going to be an epic catfight is interrupted by a teasing shot of Principe's eyes. Because, you know, without that we wouldn't get that Esme is La Gata. Back from commercials and the intro and Fernando has magically appeared to break it up. Thanks, dude. Pablo shows up and Lorenza tells him that Esme just confessed she's been carrying on with Mariano.
As Esme tells Pablo she's tired of all the break-ups and make-ups over and over and he never changes and it's OVER we have to endure seeing Leti crying. "Pablito, I'm scared!"
Pablo tells Esme they'll leave tomorrow, but it's late and they can't take the kids. Esme tells Fernando she trusts Pablo. Oh, hell, I can't even laugh at that, it's so pathetic. So Fernando leaves. And Lorenza goes right back to "Tell him what you just said about shagging Mariano!" And Pablo just pulls out the One Ring and tells Esme "Here's your ring back." Esme looks like she's doing the math and glares at both of them. Once again, Principe's face flashes across the screen and the denizens of Casa 5ft (one of whom, I will remind you, in case I haven't said this a million times before, is absolutely, positively, unequivocally, and 100% NOT watching this show anymore) raise their arms simultaneously in supplication at the screen, as if to say "What the everloving f*?"
Mariano drinks. I don't know if it's booze, but I'd like to imagine that it's a Long Island Iced Tea and that it's on MY end table. Hard cider is lovely, but tonight it's just not strong enough. He takes a call that he's apparently been waiting for, from someone 8 or more time zones ahead of the DF…perhaps in France…that he can't stop thinking about and hopes to see again soon. 'Fess up…which one of y'all is it? I'm not pissed about Mariano, really…you can have him...but I can't believe you didn't invite me to visit you in France! After everything we've been through together!
Esme's confused. Pablo just tells her not to take it off again. "You think I'm an idiot don't you," he says to Lo. Holy crap! Pablo's two brain cells actually communicated with each other! "Don't try to manipulate me now. You allied yourself with Gisela to do something so low. You think I'm an imbecile, don't you, Mom? And you know what? I have been. Because I was blind, but enough! That ends now! Stop lying! As if I didn't recognize Gisela's voice, even though she tried to hide it. Of course I recognized it when she called me to tell me where I'd find the ring I gave my wife. In my own brother's apartment, for God's sake! What is wrong with you?!" Esme is likewise shocked. She tells Pablo that Lo convinced her to hand over the ring to be pawned in exchange for food. Lo insists that Esme offered herself to Mariano and that he's always been in love with her. Pablo tells her he's done and she'd better respect his wife! "Don't talk to me! You can't demand anything from me IN MY OWN HOUSE!" Pablo says she's right, so tomorrow morning, first thing…he, Esme, and the kids are leaving.
I'm sure it won't last, but that was satisfying in the moment. Much like my bottle of cider didn't even last the first half hour…oh, well, let's hope the buzz does.
Fernando paces and Blanca really wants him to chill. Now, all of a sudden (at least it seems sudden) Blanca is telling him that Esme can take care of herself, but if she sees him all freaked out then she'll worry. Pablo spoke so confidently that Fernando couldn't help but trust him. Since he's so keyed up, she offers to bring him a coffee, which just tickles me.
Lo is so furious, she has to take off her beads. She cries as she remembers Pablo telling Esme there's nothing stopping him from loving her and vowing to put a stop to their love herself…Virginia eating tacos (which, as we all know are a gateway drug that only leads to the harder stuff, like eschewing a life of materialism and marrying for love)…Virginia defying her and saying Pablo is going to marry Esme and Lo can't stop it, after which Lo slapped her (thanks for reminding me about ALL the reasons I hate Lo!)…Mariano telling Lo that Esme is the perfect woman for any man…telling Augie to die and go to hell…and Pablo, just now, telling her that he is SO DONE with her. She thought bubbles that she won't let that maldita gata take her son away from her as her tears attempt to cut a path through her makeup. But, that's the advantage of having no soul…your tears don't make your makeup run. Mr. 5ft is predicting Lo's death tonight, but I don't think so. Mala yerba nunca muere.
At the very least, she changed outfits. Pablo wonders if, for once, Lo isn't faking feeling sick. He doesn't want to call Gi's doctor, since obviously they're in cahoots.
Victor tells Carlos Horacio and Virginia II to eat up because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Carlos I had to leave earlier in the day. Virginia II jokes that he sounds like he's in a commercial. Victor leaves the room and the kids plot to take a taxi down to the Ciudad Encontrada.
Esme's kids got up late (well, of course, after last night's drama) and they refuse to go to school. Yeah, I'd keep them home. Or rather, I'd take them to their new house already.
Victor comes back down to the living/dining area and realizes the kids are gone. They're in the back of a cab, hopefully with a non-skeevy taxi driver…but I'm not getting a good vibe from him. Carlos Horacio is a good liar, telling the guy that his dad was running late that morning and that's why they're taking the taxi to the school at Ciudad Encontrada.
Victor continues his freak-out, now accompanied by Willy and, uh, that other guy. He suspects Ines, but Virginia II is gone, too. He forgot about Virginia II before, but now he includes her in his declaration that if anything happens to EITHER of the kids, he'll die.
Why is the worlds worst psychiatrist/rancher/businessman/vest model in Lo's room? No que Pablo didn't want to call him? He calls Lo a great actress and tells her she can open her eyes--they're alone. No dice. Considering he's been pretending to treat her for so long, I don't know if he actually knows what to do now. He tries prying her eyes open and listening to her heart and then goes downstairs to do damage control. He may not know crap about doctoring, but he knows from CYA. He tells the boys they'd better call another doctor, because he won't be an accomplice to this "crime." How dare they treat their mother so badly when they know she has a bad heart. Pablo says he's taking Esme and the kids away. "But that will kill her! Your mother can't live without Pablito." Pablo won't leave his son behind. Mariano says she's just trying to take the kid away from them. "Then don't ask for advice. Do whatever you think is best." Pablo says they don't want advice, they want him to help Lo understand the reality of the situation. "I'm her doctor, not her counselor." But…I…he...said…psychiatrist…PSYCHIATRIST! DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE! Pablo keeps trying to…well, I think he's trying to plead for this absolute quack to agree with him that Lo is being unrealistic and that it's ok for Pablo to put his wife first. The crackpot tells Pablo that HE needs to understand that Lo is suffering from loneliness…because Esme has taken EVERYTHING away from her. Everyone loves Esme, but no one has any compassion for poor, dear Lorenza. Cry me a gold-plated river flowing with Prozac, you wanker!
The taxi pulls up to somewhere that is probably meant to be the Ciudad Encontrada, but I know it's not because I can see that building with the red square in the middle off in the background. The driver calls Carlos Horacio back for his change and Virginia II keeps walking across the street, in her incredibly cute red metallic sandals, and right into oncoming traffic. And Carlos Horacio sees a car coming and shoves her. Next scene is a bunch of gossips talking about what happened and pointing. One lady says a couple of kids got hit, but they don't really talk to Ines. I don't even know what I'll do if she kills off any of the kids. I'm already never watching another show of hers again. I don't really think she'd care one bit about a strongly-worded email. Can cow excrement be mailed internationally? I'm not saying characters can't EVER be killed off. Joss Whedon's done it and I don't want to kick him in the shins repeatedly. George RR Martin kills 'em all the time. I can even handle watching The Walking Dead. But She Who Must Not Be Named has already compounded a senseless show with senseless character deaths and damnit, I am tired of this crap!
Back at Casa Basta Ya Detente, Mariano says they did the right thing, having Lo seen by a different doctor WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT PABLO WAS GOING TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE. The new doctor, who we've probably seen before, because there are a limited number of doctors in Telenovelalandia. His diagnosis is that Lo has lost the will to live, which complicates her case. She won't live long, because she doesn't want to, and he thinks they need to consult another doctor. "Another doctor," says Pablo, as if the idea is completely foreign to him now that his two brain cells have broken up again and are refusing to speak to each other, "can you recommend one?" Ridiculously needless dramatic pause as the doctor thinks really hard about the answer to that question.
The kids are fine. Whew! Carlos Horacio says he thinks the worst either of them were hurt was whatever Virginia II suffered from being pushed out of the way. They've got a crowd of adults around them and one guy wants to take them to the school because someone there told him they would call the kids' parents. Carlos Horacio realizes they're busted and admits they don't go to school there, he's just looking for the beggar lady. Ines is offended at first, as if they're treating her like a circus freak, but she recognizes him from before and gets a bunch of feels (yet another dramatic pause) when he says that neither he nor Virginia II have a mother.
I can't believe Esme sent the kids to school after the night they had. Maybe one of the teachers noticed something was up and had the school counselor see them. You know, since none of the other adults seem to give a rat's ass. Pablo comes in and they send the kids upstairs. He breaks it to Esme that for once Lo isn't faking. So they have a big decision to make and (for once) Esme says they're going to make it together.
Ines asks Rita if Garabato is married. Rita says she doesn't know, but she's a lousy liar. Victor and crew arrive and he asks Ines if she took his son.
Chácharas plays with Carlos Horacio and Virginia II back at Victor's place. Somehow, they got back and Victor doesn't know it yet. Chácharas says they might as well get their playing in now, because when Victor finds out what they did, they'll be grounded until 2055. After they've gotten their university degrees. Carlos Horacio says they'll never do it again and he and Virginia II talk about why they went out there.
Mariano tells Esme that all Lo is doing is crying, but she's not really reacting. Esme says she doesn't know what to think or feel anymore. She can't take anymore. I feel you on that, sister. Mariano gives her the "You're LA GATA" pep talk and says she can do anything. "Not live with your crazy mama!" It's Lo's house and Esme is leaving. So much for making a decision together.
Chácharas supervises the kids in scraping the spines off nopales. He tells them this is the first part of their punishment for sneaking off. Victor arrives and as he's screaming in the hallway, Chácharas tells them to stay calm. He's got the Ex-Barrio-Boys with him, plus Rita and Ines. Everyone but Victor is calm. He wants to take them both to the doctor, just to make sure they're ok. Ines pulls him aside and begs him to tell her who Carlos Horacio's mother is. He won't answer, but CH comes over to tell her it was good to see her. Ines, Chácharas, and Rita are left behind in the apartment. They all cry.
Victor, Willy, and the other guy are waiting for the doctor and horsing around. Is this the same doctor that was at Lo's? He says Carlos Horacio didn't get hit by the car, and nothing is wrong with Virginia II, but…it's a good thing he happened to bring the kids in, because Carlos Horacio has a plot device that will directly lead to Ines finally being told that he's her son and given the opportunity to take a selfless action that will allow her to redeem herself, rekindle the relationship with Victor while hovering around the ICU in scrubs, and live happily ever after with Victor and Carlos Horacio instead of being mercilessly anviled. Carlos Horacio has leukemia.
Tomorrow: Pablo's two brain cells still aren't speaking to each other, so he can't make a decision.
Two more episodes, people, two more episodes. And now, I'm free!!!!!!!

Mariano gives her the "You're LA GATA" pep talk and says she can do anything. "Not live with your crazy mama!" It's Lo's house and Esme is leaving. So much for making a decision together.
Chácharas supervises the kids in scraping the spines off nopales. He tells them this is the first part of their punishment for sneaking off. Victor arrives and as he's screaming in the hallway, Chácharas tells them to stay calm. He's got the Ex-Barrio-Boys with him, plus Rita and Ines. Everyone but Victor is calm. He wants to take them both to the doctor, just to make sure they're ok. Ines pulls him aside and begs him to tell her who Carlos Horacio's mother is. He won't answer, but CH comes over to tell her it was good to see her. Ines, Chácharas, and Rita are left behind in the apartment. They all cry.
Victor, Willy, and the other guy are waiting for the doctor and horsing around. Is this the same doctor that was at Lo's? He says Carlos Horacio didn't get hit by the car, and nothing is wrong with Virginia II, but…it's a good thing he happened to bring the kids in, because Carlos Horacio has a plot device that will directly lead to Ines finally being told that he's her son and given the opportunity to take a selfless action that will allow her to redeem herself, rekindle the relationship with Victor while hovering around the ICU in scrubs, and live happily ever after with Victor and Carlos Horacio instead of being mercilessly anviled. Carlos Horacio has leukemia.
Tomorrow: Pablo's two brain cells still aren't speaking to each other, so he can't make a decision.
Two more episodes, people, two more episodes. And now, I'm free!!!!!!!
Next: Episode 117

Diva, we should really get "I survived La Gata" tee shirts printed up! I will take a size large please.
Enjoyed every single line of your recap, but my favorite is: "Virginia eating tacos (which, as we all know are a gateway drug...). That is just so Diva and it belongs on the sidebar of fame!
I'm only watching this now for the Victor/Ines story. Although, if Ines finds redemption, I'm still asking "why did the TN gods take Virginia and let Ines live?"
Well. See y'all round the campfire tomorrow and Friday...

A truly great farewell act, Diva! Loved "tacos as a gateway drug".
And the psychiatrist who can't be a counselor? Only a meddler and bad fashion example.
Also, the wonderful explanation: "because Carlos Horacio has a plot device that will directly lead to..." and the list of consequences.
I am so utterly baffled that anyone would think this TN was a quality product. Also loved your star badge. I don't drink, but maybe Friday's finale merits some gelato or high quality chocolate.

Thanks, Kat! Truly awesome recap. The Carlos Horacio has a plot device... " was my favorite line.
I'm with you in character death. I don't love it, but when it makes sense or fits in the story I can deal with it. There was no need for Virginia to die.

Oh my, this was so good. Diva.
"Lo is so furious, she has to take off her beads"
"Cry me a gold-plated river flowing with Prozac, you wanker!"
Virginia - I can't look both ways
CH - you may be a nice lady but damn you stink
Mariano - Cam sex, who has phone sex anymore?
Esmeralda - I should have cheated with Mariano
Pablo - you call me stupid, I played this perfectly. She's leaving to play the martyr and moms happy. Whoosh.
Lorenza - should have planted a pair of her panties not the ring
Carlos - she did what?

Kat- I also loved your Gata graphic. So perfect! This recap was hilarious. I intended to watch last night, but got a call almost as soon as it started, so I watched it on mute. I think that worked out perfectly, because instead of suffering through the insufferable dialogue, I get to read your snarky take instead.
Don't Esme's parents live right next door? How hard would it be for the four of them to up and go there at any hour of the day? Why don't we ever see the kids go over there to see their grandparents? Has there been a scene yet with Blanca, Fer and the twins since the time jump?

There was one scene with Blanca, Jarocha and the twins. It was Tuesday. It smacked of PSA. I can't even remember it now. Jarocha sort of badmouthed Lo and Blanca gently reprimanded her.
So, Pablo got a clue about the plot because he recognized Gi's voice. Not because he knows Esme would be incapable of cheating and betraying him with anyone, especially his brother? What would have happened had they used a stranger to make the call?
Lorenza saying that Virginia being blind because she had it coming was DISGUSTING !
Lorenza, Augie & Gisela need big ANVILS right now!!!!!!
Lorenza, Augie & Gisela need big ANVILS right now!!!!!!
See, that's the problem with Pablo and why, even with Augie and Lo dead and buried, Esmeralda has a lifetime of the same. Pablo doesn't trust her at all unless she is under foot professing her love and adoration for him. The clown tried to get her to quit the institute because he was fearful she would be influenced and question what he had told her reality. Had he his way she would not be walking. Heck, he would walk in on Esmeralda and family laughing and look butthurt.
Diva, this is absolutely spectacular! Stupendous, I tell ya!! I am in awe of how you whip this idiocy into a delcious delicacy and have us all laughing as if we're enjoying your cider right along with you and Mr. 5ft. You rule, Girl!! I swear I was going to watch this but I have a pounding headache this morning and actually watching could have led possibly to stroke.
Re what Lo said about Virginia: She's the only one who got the end she deserved.
C'mon y'all, you know why that vile nameless wretch put those words in a character's mouth. Disgusting. Revolting.
Diva, love your graphic! It would mike a fine T-shirt indeed. I hope I can go out with half your style and snark!
Thank you, de verdad, for being the Captain and steering this leaking, reeking, wreck of a novela thus far. We're almost safely ashore!

Well, 5ft, this whole thing was just a delightful romp through this dreadful story.
Pablo THINKING? Boy, I didn't see that coming.
UGH! Leukemia. I had an older cousin who developed leukemia. He was fascinated with uniforms and military badges. My Dad was a flight instructor, and my cousin, Terry, was particularly taken with Dad's pilot's wings. Terry died in August of 1944, several months short of his 4th birthday. My mom was in the hospital recovering from surgery in Waco, Texas, and so couldn't attend the funeral. Dad was allowed to fly one of the training planes, an AT-6, home for the funeral. At the wake, Dad approached the bier, pulled a slender silvery object from his pocket, leaned over the casket and pinned on Terry's wings.

I missed most of the show but caught snippets and your very detailed recap filled me in on the rest.
I actually felt a little proud of Pablo when he told his mother he knew it was Gisella disguising herself and I thought "Wow! He's really going to give it to her." However to me, his response was weaker than I preferred and I don't care how late it was, I would've left that house immediately. Also, towards the end of the episode it seems that Pablo was back to his wishy-washy spineless self.
I don't know if it's just me, but everytime I see someone argueing with Lorenza, I just want one person to finally say, "YOU TRIED TO KILL YOUR GRANDKIDS, YOU B***H!" But not one person has said it.
As far as Esme suffering, I couldn't care less. I want her to continue to suffer as much as possible for being so dayum stupid, her brain-dead husband as well. I don't want the kids to suffer obviously and I think the writers have no idea to effectively use the kids. I also believe that the writers write on the fly as well. There is no long term planning and thinking involve, to me it seems they write episode to episode, not thinking about plausibility or believability.
As far as Ines is concerned, it seems to much of a coincendence that her son would for some unknown reason pick her out of the many homeless people and make a connection. Could it be that the writers are thinking that a bond between a mother and her child is so strong that life would eventually bring them together? Absolutely not! The writers are idiots! They probably thought "hey this is good idea, have him take a liking to a totally random, and potentially dangerous person and have that person be his mother. The audience will buy it!" Also, why did he bring Ines to his apartment?
I also agree with you, Diva on the plot point about Ines and her son. Now, they will be reunited and she will unjustly be giving a 2nd chance with her family because of her sons Leukemia.

WHAT NOW ????.....Diva...Thanks for the clever, snappy recap. This show was beyond awful , but it did bring out a lot of creativity and wit in our wonderful recapping team.
I especially loved the fact that Lowrentza was so upset that she had to take off her beads. I fear that all of us have been so traumatized by this hot mess of a tn that when we are very, very old, we will look at someone wearing beads and become hysterical with laughter....friends and family will be shocked and concernedl

Awesome recap!
If Lo dies of a heart attack it will be too little. She needs to burn.
And though Pablo's two brain cells ignited for a moment, the distrust he still has of Esme after all these years is terrible.
Who in the world was Mariano talking to on his phone? Finally, has the guy found someone? I can only hope he has a good ending for at least his character has been written interestingly.

Carvivile- Usually I don't like the last minute love interest, but I really want Mariano to have a happy ending. They did the Mariano character wrong. He *was* an interesting character and they did not give him enough story.

Diva rocks!---How can cry me a gold plated river flowing with Prozac, you wanker ever be beat?
I just love your Principe survival
logo. Lets get it on T-shirts for sale out on the patio Friday noche
I want at least two of them, one to wear and one for a collectors keepsake.
J---Why would Virginia have to die while Ines gets to live? That's a very good question that we all are asking. Actually I don't think that even Ms. Toodle-oo knows why.
La Paloma---Gelato or high quality
chocolate? Bring some extra with you to the patio party Friday night.
Little Carlos Horacio has leukemia
Where did that one come from?
David and I have anvils lined up and ready to be put to good use.
However---I am starting to get the feeling that no big endings will be in store for anyone. Is Lo just going to lay down and die
on her big comfortable bed?

Gracias, J! I did not notice the carrots, actually...I had to go back and look! There's a possibility that Ines will die anyway, but if she does, it's only because the writers think we don't know how to Google. Donating bone marrow--which I'm guessing is what she'll end up doing--isn't supposed to be very risky at all.
Gracias, La Paloma! HatBro's ridiculous declaration about not being a "counselor" had me yelling at the screen. Did he only treat Gi with drugs? And if he's so worried about sticking to his official job description (which, in my experience, there is nothing about being a psychiatrist that means you *can't* provide counseling) then he shouldn't have been acting as the kids' primary care doctor either!
Gracias, Sara! I'll be bitter about Virginia's death until this mess is over. And then my mind will block it out. I'll have to leave myself a "no more Latoodle" note before the amnesia sets in!

Gracias, tofie! If someone's going to insist you did something that you didn't do, might as well do it, no? But I guess he's got a new honey. I bet she bears a strong resemblance to Esme.
Gracias, Vivi! I also don't understand why they don't just take everyone across the street. I know they have room! They just keep playing up that ridiculous "we have to let her be independent...I can't take it, I have to do something...well, ok, she can handle it herself...." I also agree with your point about Pablo questioning the lie for the wrong reasons. Instead of the plan failing because he finally got a clue, it fails because the bad guys made a mistake.
Gracias, Steve! Bring on the anvils! Though, I'm sure they're not going to be nearly satisfying enough.

Gracias, Lila! I'm looking forward to yours tonight! I'm sure it will be great...if the hot mess doesn't kill you. I think Lo is something of a stand-in for SWMNBN as well...which is why I suspect she won't get a very big anvil.
Gracias, David! Don't worry, the thinking has worn off now, so we're back to normal. Yay? Thank you for sharing that story about your cousin.
Gracias, Bryan! They do love to do the "Llamada de la Sangre." I've even seen it on US shows occasionally...two people meet, they hit it off instantly, they have a lot in common...and then they find out that they're related. Although, in one particular case I'm thinking of (Rizolli and Isles, if anyone's wondering) the mother-daughter pair were brought together because they're both forensic doctors, so in that way it made some sense. In this situation, in order for Ines and Carlos Horacio to meet again, they had to include the detail that Ines still has a shack because she refused to let them buy it and give her an apartment...because heaven forbid she accept anything from La Gata...and therefore she's still wandering around this apartment building that her ex just happens to manage/be in charge of maintenance for/be building an addition to and since that plumbing emergency happened after school hours he just happened to bring his kid with him and...seriously, that is a long way to go to force a reunion!

Gracias, Carvivlie! I want her to die horribly, too, I just can't think of a way that would be horrible enough
Or maybe I can...as Bryan said, nobody ever brings up that she tried to kill the kids when they were babies...if someone brought this up in front of Pablito and he rejected her, I might be satisfied with her dying of the shock. But that would be cruel to the kid. But maybe less cruel than letting Lo get her hooks into him the way she's been doing.

Just wondering if anyone else thinks Mariano's character will be revealed as gay?
He told Pablo to "respect his privacy" usually code for I have a secret.
During his conversation with his love interest it sounded like he was going out of his way to avoid mentioning a name or gender.

I wondered that, back in the beginning. And I think it's still possible. Which doesn't preclude him having feelings for Esme or being tempted by Gi. Too bad there are only 2 episodes left in which to explore that.
And if he is, boy is Lorenza going to have a COW!

I would support that anvil. I would also be ok if the beads broke free from the necklace, getting under her feet, and hastening her fall down the stairs. It would be a case of beadscaleracide.
It occurred to me Mariano gay as well so in Lorenza's world she'll want him to die. She is an ardent supporter of culling the herd.
Lorenza's so universally intolerant of everyone who's not like her idealized version of herself that I don't expect her to do anything less than be her usually hateful self. It was really quick, but I'm sure I heard Fernando say that she and Augie didn't have a cent before they stole all his money.
Since you brought it up-- am I the only one who is still a little fuzzy about the crime that started all this? I guess it's really not that important.
I'm not sure if I'm confused about it because there are still things we don't know or if I'm confused because it's confusing.
A lot of the motivations and relationships don't feel very clear to me. I understand that Victor's dad was a greedy bastard who wanted Fernando's money, but I don't understand why he would be friends with a "muerto de hambre" like Augie, and especially SUCH good friends that he would plot with him to get Fernando's money. I get that with Fernando and Victor's dad both out of the way, Augie took Fernando's money, but I don't understand how it was legally possible.

I just kept hoping that we would discover the Lo was from the wrong side of the tracks. We all conjectured (is that a word?) about it early on.
And will we ever find out what the Dorila-Carlos connection is? We've only got two episodes left.
And will we ever find out what the Dorila-Carlos connection is? We've only got two episodes left.
But, Fernando told Victor he was buddies with him mama and papa and why he knew they discussed what his name would be. So Fernando killed his buddy when the buddy tried to kill him with a gun Augie conveniently placed. What I don't know was what Augie said or did to have them go at each other.
I think she met him at a stop light when she leaned over a little too far while cleaning the windshield of the used car he was able to afford with his first paycheck as a lawyer.
Hey, wait, how did he even pay for law school?
Hey, wait, how did he even pay for law school?
Supposedly, all Augie had to tell Fernando was that Victor's daddy was going to kill him and that was enough. Yeah, they sound like BFFs.

I have no hope that all or even any of the loose ends of this unraveling mess will be tied up by the end. Junior high kids could have done a better job of writing a script that made sense and creating characters that were believable .I would be ashamed to have my name attached to this hot , steaming cowpie.

La Diva, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA , excuse me but you're so contagious. I am writing to apologize about what I said regarding Pablo. He suddenly got balls!!!! yay! Now about La Gata....I was wondering, why can't she answer back to LO, "who are you to look down at me, you criminal, you're the one who is poor. May I remind you that you only became rich by stealing my parent's wealth, including this house, and by throwing my mother and me at the dump. My social level is higher than you because my father is a blue blood duke. etc, etc."
I hate LO, why does she always throw that social class discrimination. Can anybody tell me, what is her origin? Why this hatred of the poor. Was she born with a silver spoon so to speak?
I went ahead of the schedule, so there is no 2 hr gran final. Now how are they going to wrap all the loose ends with 2 more hours to go. Anne

Gracias, Anne! I despair of us ever finding out the answer to a lot of questions--Lo's origins among them.
