Que Te Perdone Dios #79: Oh, Brother!! Can’t We At Least All Pretend?
The Formal Engagement Announcement party between Diego and Abigail has just begun. Guests are enjoying their “tragos”—well, most are. Dr. Patricio Duarte is telling Mateo that he should at least pretend to be happy for Abi. Mat admits it’s unlikely since he’s dying of jealousy and can only think of the best opportunity to kidnap Abi and ride off into the sunset with her—if he only could. He hasn’t lost total track of his senses quite yet. Pats tells him to can the silly talk and he’ll get back to him later.
Pats and Fausto nod to each other and are going to head together to Ren’s table when Pats spies his ex sitting next to her. Fausto asks why he’s suddenly stopped walking. He sees a jackal sitting next to Ren. Who’s the beauty? Pats used to be married to her, he answers. Well, then introduce me to her, why don’t you? They head to the table and Pats looks like he’s just smelled a dead skunk—only this one’s very much alive and seated next to Ren. Fausto introduces himself and says he understands she and the good Doc used to be married to each other. “Now let me guess why you let a beauty like this get away. Hmmm….problems with sex?" Everyone at the table now smells skunk…this time it's the one standing on his hind legs snickering at his own joke.
Meanwhile, Constanza is chatting about her family’s problems with Meliton. Ren cannot see that Fausto’s got something up his sleeve. She and Abi both believe that Feisty’s changed. Crazy Connie’s not to be hoodwinked. Neither is Meli. He agrees Feisty’s the Devil’s demon spawn. “—Some souls never change. Some that belong to the Devil himself. Such is Fausto Lopez Guerra.” They agree they need to find out what’s afoot and to stop it at all costs.
Back at the engagement dinner party Lucio and Max arrive. Max, dressed in some utterly fascinatin’ fem-fuchsia sweater that now matches the color of his inflamed eyes, notes that Ximena is here as well. The reason she is, he adds, is Dr. Duarte, her ex-husband, nothing more. “--Aha!” is Lucio’s reply. Max heads off to sit with Toño and to cry in his beer also. (Loser!!) His pops, on the other hand, sees an opportunity to needle Marcelino again and to have some fun. Marc’s wife starts to walk by him and he greets her. Marc growls at Lucio that he’s forbidden to ever greet or speak to his wife! His wife reminds Marc that they are separated and have been for a while. Therefore, he can drop the offended defender act and buzz off. “—So little Violet it seems is now back on the market as a single women! Hmmm! You overstepped the mark there, didn’t you big guy?” The two do the fistycuff two-step a couple of seconds when Comandante Barragan steps in between them and drops a big hint about keeping their hands in their pockets.
That problem avoided, Barragan makes his way over to Diego and Abi’s table to congratulate them. He tells Diego right after tho’ that despite his being a good, hard worker and a decent man, if he ever hears one complaint from Abi, Diego will have to deal with him! Ok. Message received. He and Abi share a big hug (but only Ren, who is unable to note this, and Viewerville know the really real reason why) as he chokes on his words.
Benito signals to Diego and mariachis walk into the garden to serenade Abi and the guests as Feisty and Mad Mats jealously glare.
Inside the hacienda’s main house, Crazy Connie confronts Amanda for the reason for the big party. Amanda has been sworn to silence years back so Crazy Connie has to figure it out on her own.
Just as Diego awaits the positive responses from Ren, Macaria and Feisty re: his asking formally for Abi’s hand in marriage, Crazy Connie shows up and gets hysterical in front of all the guests. No way those two can marry! “--You mustn’t marry!” Beni races over and tries talking sense into her. He drags her off saying she’s got to trust him that he’ll explain to her in a moment but inside the house. They go off eventually and Diego gets his answer: Ren is fine with it; Mac is silent; Feisty, taking Mac’s silence as sullen approval gives his verbal go-ahead and the party continues.
Inside, Mac sneaks upstairs to eavesdrop on Beni and Connie. She hears Connie’s reasons and Beni telling her he’ll get Vicenta to come up and explain that there’s no reason those two cannot marry, that they were all wrong.
While Beni’s gone, Mac sneaks up on Connie and knocks her out with a stone bookend. Mac laughs at the unconscious old lady lying on the floor and snickers that it’s going to be great fun to wait and see the fireworks when Ren finds out, too late, that her bastard daughter has actually married her half-uncle.
At the same time, Max races over to the chapel and into it. He sits at the far front, to tearfully pray for an answer as to why Dios chose to screw him over with death and disease when he is so in love with Abigail.
Abi’s raped girlfriend, Teodora, has gone to the chapel to pray, Viewerville assumes, about how unjust it is that Diego would only have eyes for Abi and not her. With her bionic ears she overhears Max’s chat with Dios and cries for him as well as for herself.
Upstairs in Connie’s bedroom once again, we see that Mac’s double and triple-dosing her on sleeping powders so that she’s knocked out at least until after the wedding. When Beni returns she refuses to let him and Vi “disturb” her rest.
Down in the garden Feisty asks to dance with Abi and she gets a glimpse of Mad Mats glaring angrily over at the two of them.
Max returns and learns from Tony that Simona isn’t his real mother, and that Julian/lio is actually his flesh and blood.
While Mat jealously watches his uncle and the love of his life dance, Abi asks Feisty to give her away and he agrees.
Vi comes over to give Diego a hug (I think) but he rudely refuses to get anywhere near her.
Xiella/Ximena? (--who knows at this poin--tells Lucio that his duty and responsibility to Max is that he should send him back to his family and force him into treatment, Lucio tells her to mind her own bidnez cuz HE”S Max’s only family. She reminds him that she, if anybody, knows what it is to lose a child; that one tries to get over it but in truth, the only one truly dead is the parent who is dead in life. Lucio threatens her if she or Porfirio tries to stick their noses in again. He then walks over to Max’s table and tells him that it’s better if he doesn’t abuse his health by drinking and smoking. Max tells him to can it cuz he’s dying anyway and has no chance in Hell of beating his disease. Lucio argues that he does have a chance if he’d only give it to himself.
Finally, Mad Mats has had enough and asks for a chance to dance with “la novia.” Diego and Diana can do nothing but look on. Abi tries to avoid his stare. Diego starts to go for the dance floor but Teo stops him and reminds him it’s only a dance. Diego isn’t that stupid, but for the benefit of not losing face he holds back. Mat doesn’t miss a beat, literally and figuratively, and begins wooing Abi. “—I am so envious of Diego right now. This should have been our party. I would do anything provided that you wouldn’t marry Diego. I want you for my wife, my woman.” She answers that she’s not changing her mind. Nothing he says will persuade her otherwise. He asks her if she’s afraid of that what happened the last time they danced together, when they kissed for the first time and didn’t mind that others saw them. What’s to prevent them from running out of here? She gets angry. He asks her forgiveness. It’s just that his blood boils desiring her and not being able to have her. Her skin, her glance, her body. “—It changes me and drives me mad. I would do anything to have you!” He tries to keep her from escaping his embrace. “—Diego is waiting for me.”
Mad Mats walks Abi back to where Diego and Teo are waiting. He politely tells Diego that he hopes it didn’t bug him that he danced with his fiancée. Diego mumbles not a problem and stays friendly. Once they’re alone, tho', he tells Abi how it disturbs him to see her with Mat and Fausto. She insists that she’s marrying him. “—I’m so scared that you’ll regret it at the last moment!” Not a chance, she insists again. “—I promise you.”
Back at Ren’s table, she asks Dr. Pats how Mat’s patient did with the eye surgery. It was a success, answers Pats all aglow, and the man was thrilled to have his eyesight back again. So, yes there is hope. Ren promises to plan to have her own surgery after the wedding is over and things return to normal. Dr. Pats is beside himself with joy.
Feisty walks over to Ximena who’s standing by herself away from all the noise. “—You know, your ex-husband has been wanting to sleep with my wife for years now.” “--You sure the two of them aren’t already lovers?” Naw, he says, not my wife. I assure you it’s not happening. Well, then, says Ximena. Our friendship could be mutually beneficial cuz I am interested in separating the two of them. “Confide in me. Why did the two of you really get divorced?” “—Because I couldn’t forgive him for killing my daughter in the operating room.” Feisty is WTF and say-again? Impactado.
Abi gets up and Diego follows. Is he still mad? Naw, it’s over. What counts is that she’s marrying him. They’ll show them how happy a couple they really are together. They kiss. Mat glares and DeeDee smiles gleefully. She gets up and yells out a toast to the engaged couple. Abi heads inside the house. Mat quickly follows after her.
Fausto goes inside looking for Mac. He drags her practically by the hair into his office to gripe at her for not objecting to the marriage very vocally. He was left with no choice but to agree in order to save face. She tries telling him she did it to be obstinate cuz she didn’t like him telling her what to do. He tells her to stop lying. They had an agreement! “--Well, no matter. As long as they haven’t gone to the altar anything could stop that damned wedding!” “--Or what? You gonna do to Diego the same as you did to Pablo Ramos? Put a bullet in his forehead?” He won’t say exactly, but he’ll do whatever it takes to snatch Abigail away from that loser ranch hand.
Upstairs, Abi’s sitting on her bed trying to get her head straight. Mat sneaks in. She gets up in surprise. He grabs her. That ridiculous theme blares in the background as he bends towards her and kisses her. She finally pulls away. (Oooooh. Bad editing! Mat’s got pink and red lipstick shmeared all over his mouth. How can Zuria keep a straight face? --CUT!!!!!) She breathes hard and considers what to do next. She grabs him again and kisses him passionately. He kisses back. He wants more but she refuses. “—Tell me you aren’t going to marry Diego. Tell me you’ll only be mine…..like you swore in the chapel in front of Dios. You swore you’d only be mine and nobody else’s.”
Abi says yes, she swore. It’s true she’ll love nobody else but Mat for the rest of her life. BUT (and this is a big ‘un) she’s still marrying Diego. Mats is QTH??? and furry-browed impactado. “—This was the last kiss, for adios.” She kisses his hand and leaves the bedroom. Downstairs again, Feisty grabs her attention and asks her to come to his office with him. There, he tells her that she obviously lost trust in him cuz she didn’t bother telling him about it. All of a sudden he hears there’s a party and she’s getting engaged to Diego? Wazzupwidat? Sorry. Sure I said fine in order not to cause a fuss in the middle of your party, but I am totally against this marriage. He changes tack on her as well as Viewerville.
Feisty's opposed because he wants Abi to supposedly have the wedding of the century. Not one of those ticky-tacky town things like she was planning. Please postpone the wedding for a bit. Ok? Give me that pleasure. No, she cannot. Yeah, but you don’t really look that into it, he tells her. Don’t tell him she really plans to tie herself up with that miserable wretch of a farm hand?!!
Why’s he got to meddle in her affairs, Abi asks Fausto. Everything about her matters to him. He wants so much better for her. Doesn’t she know he LUHVS her? QTH? ER…Uh…like a daughter.
Outside again, Com. Barragan asks to dance with Helena. DeeDee asks Mats to dance then and he refuses and walks off.
Max leaves Tony’s table also. Motor sits down with Tony and tries an intervention. Tony turns the tables on him and points out how his ex-lover is dancing the night away with his papa. Motor allows himself a momentary mental contained growl.
Max makes his way to Abi and Diego and offers his heartfelt congratulations. Diego doesn’t believe him but Abi says no reason not to and they accept a hug from him, despite admitting that it was no secret he wished he’d be the one marrying her instead of Diego. When Max hugs her he whispers into Abi’s ear that he doesn’t know how much time alive remains, but that he’ll love her until his dying breath. As he races away to presumably drink himself under the table with Tony, Viewerville notes that the ever-in-demand and chilly-footed Abigail, who has been bummed out by heavy-duty doubts and desires is really, really, really bummed-out now!

Bravo, Jardinera! I don't know how you managed to give it to us straight with all the foolishness happening at that engagement party.
Could Mat and Fausto be any more obvious with their jealousy? Sheesh!
Poor Connie. Getting really tired of all these who's your daddy/mamma secrets.
Mat needs to shut up and go away. Until he has signed divorce papers in hand, he has NOTHING to offer Abi.

Thank you Jardinera his recap on Mothers Day nonetheless.
This novela is interesting but is hard for me to follow. Who's your
mommy, who's your daddy? OMG! Is this little town Peyton Place South?
Will this marriage really happen? Well that remains to be seen. Abi has half of the town lusting after her. What is wrong with the other young, pretty eligible ladies? They don't seem to get a second glance from anyone. Why?
And what kind of leading man is Mateo? He marries Dianaconda, has twins on the way and can't keep his hands off of Abi. Is Que Te Perdone Dios leading us all into the gutter?

I'd say Mat needs to grow a pair and dump Dianaconda after double-checking DNA on those twins. I mean, he needs the help of a bad-ass Beverly Hills divorce attorney whose first instinct these days would be to do the DNA test if he was worth half his salt.
Thank you Jardinera for the awesome recap. Looks like Abi has the attraction virus that makes so many men want to have her, her doubt about the marriage grew throughout the party she might as well stop it now. Fausto is really creepy lusting over Abi like that and I feel a bit of pity for Max. Mateo needs a job real bad ,one that does not involve going after another man's fiancee and also getting an actual divorce. Mac has pretty earned her spot in hell

Awesome Jardinera, thank you.
I so saw that lipstick too!
"fem-fuchsia sweater that now matches the color of his inflamed eyes" totally!!
Fausto was in such bad taste asking about the Duarte divorce. Who could ever ask something like that?
Constanza to Meliton: "there's no one more blind than one who will not see." So perceptive.

You put together not only a very detailed and well translated recap, but a terrifically, funny and snarky (love that word) one to boot. I loved it !! Thanks for giving us (at least me) a laugh or two on Mother's Day.
Okay this isn't in order, but here goes:
** Barragan was absolutely ridiculous twirling Helena around on the dance floor. What a hoot, but I admire his enthusiasm none the less.
** I think the theme of the episode was pink, pink, pink.
• Abi's lipstick all over Mat's stupid face.
• The outrageously, hideous sweater on Max [the wardrobe Dept for this novela is forever out to lunch, what with Max's sweater, Fausto's never-ending leather jackets and cowboy hats, who dresses Renata in those elaborate outfits, and Abi's bustiers and half-shorts, half-skirts (while everyone else has on a sweater or coat, she's half naked)],
• The red eyes of almost everyone except Renata's (happy for her God-daughter) and Fausto's (so angry he's foaming at the mouth), Toño's drunken "poor" drunk me, and Ximena's bloodshot ones.
• Weren't the Mariachis wearing pink-themed outfits?
** Anyone else notice that Angelli is using the background music as in LQLVMR ??
** Not to mention the sleazy, lapping dog music for Fausto and Abi scenes.
** Connie isn't the only crazy one. Diego's abuela for thinking no one is going to object seeing as how only three people (Diego, Dianaconda, and Renata) are happy about this engagement.
** What Mat feels for Abi is pure lust, when will he start respecting her and stop trying to get under her half-shorts, half-skirts ??
** Abi is one stupid young woman not to realize where Fausto wants to go.
Is Urban going to join us.??
I read some really great comments by someone name 'Sharkbyte' while re-watching Teresa (much better the second go-around) and reading the Caray comments. Wish he would join us and give us his manly opinions of Abi's attractiveness and Ximena's supposed sexyness (Carlos).
Jardinera, thanks again. I can tell that you put a lot of work into your recaps.

Thanks, all. This one was fun to recap because of all the goof-ups and poor directing. Hope the moms out there all had a happy time with family. I sure did.
The themes in this one, although nice, are so exaggerated. Somebody was a little too enthusiastic when editing--or else drunk as a skunk.....

Victoria Gomez---You wrote. Abi's
bustiers and half shorts, half skirts (while everyone else has on a sweater or coat, she's half naked.) Poor girl Maricruz/Ana Brenda was running around the countryside in a short lacy spring time dress through out much of CI. In LG we had Esmeralda/Maite Perroni searching
through piles of trash in the local dump looking for anything of value that could be sold on the street. Esmeralda, like Maricruz was seen in a very short dress while everyone else was wearing pants and long sleeved shirts. And so now we have Abi/Zuria Vega as you put it, half naked while everyone else has on a sweater or coat.
The answer to answer your comment
is almost as old as time. When you have a beautiful goddess in the lead role, she isn't going to be covered up. And while the gringo isn't the dirty old mad that Fausto is, I for one will not be complaining.

You are so right, and I so appreciate the shirtless Sebastián Rulli or a Fernando Colunga in his day !!
I guess I'm watching too many older novelas on Youtube where the flesh isn't so freely exposed.
I couldn't put up with Maite Perroni in LG or Ana Brenda in CI, so I'll skip AB's new novela (especially since the ratings are so low in Mexico) and MP has a new one coming out that I'll skip also.
Where is Carla Estrada when you need her ??

I'm new to Caray but have been watching and reading for awhile now and finally got up the nerve to comment.
The recaps that each one writes for our joy and pleasure are just fantastically detailed, fun to read, and the conversations are so well translated.
This is the first "dark" novela I've watched (Fausto's lusting after Abigail) and most definitely don't like it but I'll stay around just to see what happens with duffuss Mateo.
Kudos to the recappers and have enjoyed reading everyone's comments for all these episodes.
