Yo No Creo en los Hombres #35 Lunes 8/31/15
Chapter
35: Seeds of Suspicion
Doris
had just finished telling Ari off about his “girlfriend” and
shoved him off just as Max arrived. He came to the neighborhood to
talk to Maria Dolores, but she put him off. He saw what looked like
a party. “It's very important, about a lifelong friend,” she
said. He backed off, telling her he would see her later because it
was very important. She turned back to Doris, who was crying.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #5 Mon 8/31/15 Tania takes a trip and Pedro takes the Guilt or I'll fly Away!
Hey, everyone! I’m
going to try to be brief, but hopefully thorough. Some
scenes have been combined.
Read more »
Pedro makes it clear to Tania that he is NOT pleased that
she hired Fifi who is in the foreground busily mopping the floor. How could she trust a perfect stranger in her
home!? Their situation is “delicate” and
needs to be handled with absolute discretion!
Tania sends Fifi to tidy up her bedroom so she and Pedro can talk in
private.
Fifi trots off happily enough but the privacy part is a fail
as she blatantly listens just inside Tania’s bedroom as the discussion between
Tania and Pedro ramps up. Pedro is
concerned that Tania has told Fifi too much about them and he doesn’t like it
one little bit. Tania thinks Fifi is
sweet and charming and she needs her. Noting
Tania’s demeanor Pedro checks the liquor cabinet and then her breath and goes
ballistic: she’s drunk again! Pedro lights into Tania for falling into the
same vices again! We’ve just met these
two but any of y’all can fill in the blanks:
she feels hurt by his rejection of her and refusal to introduce her to
the family. She knows his family is
conservative and she makes everything so hard by refusing to change! Right now the family is at a difficult and important crossroads; the reading of the
will! Oh, that’s just an excuse! It is not!
Tania thinks the reading of the will would be a perfect time for her to
meet his family!

Amores con trampa #110 and #111 8/31 and 9/1 Monday and Tuesday
I'm super pooped tonight and I've managed to hurt my shoulder...in my sleep. Typing seems to be making it worse. This is going to be pretty short, combined and crappy.
Rocio is in new clothes (I like it!) and is packing to leave. Santi helps with the suitcase. They begin the tearful goodbye. Rocio promises to always stay in touch. She's ready to go.
The twins waste water filling water balloons. Jacinto reminds them that they said at home they would conserve water. They remind him they are at school. They give him a good dosing.
Fac and La Pantera (RAWR) finalize the sale of her rancho. She asks him out for drinks.
Beto is in mope mode. He erased all of Rocio's pictures from his phone, but her memory is crystal clear in in mind.

Lo Imperdonable #74 Fri 8/28/15 A Family Reunion
No Mauricio for you tonight.
He’s taking a well-deserved day off and I appreciate the opportunity he has given me to try my hand at recapping after a rather long layoff, so for tonight I’ll be your guide through this morass. Settle in, have a complimentary gin and tonic, and let’s spend an hour together as we enjoy watching other people suffer. I promise, no baby seals will be harmed.
What better way to begin than with Nanciyaga counseling and consoling Julio? Something for everyone. He’s fretting and regretting his strong feelings for Ana Perla. Nanci understands, she’s experiencing a similar situation with her patrón, Martín. He wants to forget her, but Nanci assures Julio that hope is like a weed growing by the river, it never dies, it thrives. Well whatever, Julio is pretty gloomy (agüítado) about the whole thing (how the heck does this bumpkin know a word like that?). Nevertheless, Nanciyaga ain’t giving up on her patrón. She’s gonna defy the stars (and presumably those pesky snails as well). “Patron belongs to me… only me.”
Ummm, OK, Nanci, as long as you have that machete, I’m not going to argue.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #34 Fri 8/28/15
We start with where we left off yesterday, Isela making the moves on weak old man Claudio, Ivana making the biggest error of her life and Max and Jerry rushing to the Quernavaca house to save the day. At the same time, Alma is reassuring Maleny that she and Claudio will do whatever they can to get her and Max back together.
Now for the good stuff...
Ivana passes out at the pool’s edge and Ursela, Dan, and Arango just stand their staring at her while the doctor and the butler act as if they care. Dr Medina feels her pulse and says they need to get her to a hospital, Ursela dismisses the butler, and they all just stand there discussing what to do. Ursela is clearly in charge, she tells the doctor that they will do nothing to save her. In fact, Ursela rolls her over into the pool. Dr Medina shows us that he actually does have some ethics and jumps in to get her out. Right then, the butler comes running over to tell them that Jerry and Max have arrived. This puts Dan in a compromising situation, so in order to not look like the uncaring moneygrubbing husband that he is, he jumps into the pool too to help the doctor. Jerry and Max will save the day!!!
But wait, Arango runs out to the gate and tells Jerry and Max that they took Ivana to the hospital and quickly leaves with them.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #4 Fri 8/28/15 Muchacha Italiana viene a seguirme!
Greetings! Ciao, Muchacha Patio Peeps to my inaugural MIVAC recap! Yaaay! Let's hit it!
Giana has collapsed in the lobby of the hospital while Fiorella screams for help! Adela and Ray, Benito’s parents and perhaps on the maintenance staff of the building where they live, are at the hospital having tended to Ray’s sprained foot and they witness this pitiable scene. Adela intervenes with the cold receptionist and demands a Dr. be found to attend to Gianna right away! They will pay the bill. A Dr. and Nurse rush out with a stretcher and load Gianna on. Adela encourages Fiorella to accompany her sister!

Adela encourages Fiorella to accompany her sister!
We zip across town where Pedro is on the phone with Eloisa,
his Grandmother and long-suffering Matriarch.
She scolds Pedro about holding up the reading of the will. She is inpatient to get it underway because
she wants this pack of greedy hyenas out of her house. Pedro informs Eloisa that her beloved
grandson, Osvaldo, has complicated the negotiations with the Italians. Ah, she always said Osvaldo was a good for
nothing! Pedro will take care of
cleaning up Osvaldo’s mess and contact the law office to read the will the
following day. Good, because Eloisa doesn’t
want those vultures hanging around her another day!
The vultures yip and yap at each other at the table. Present are Federica, Osvaldo, Sonia, Gael
and Roxanne. Roxanne takes exception
with Gael referring to the maid attending the table as Simoncita and wonders if
he does this because he feels inferior.
Well, if she would come to his bed he would show her there’s nothing
inferior about him! Osvaldo wonders if
Federica wants to tell them something about the inheritance. . .when Sergio
sweeps in and sweetly flatters the blushing Simona, asking her to please heat
his food. Now it’s time for Sonia to
complain about Sergio directing his seductive powers at a "mere" maid. Sergio turns it back on her: it’s not his fault that she chose the wrong
man as her spouse. Osvaldo thinks Sergio would
put his energies to better use in getting Pedro to the ranch already so the
will can be read. Sergio shuts them
up. If not for Pedro, they wouldn’t be
drinking fine French wine, but tap water, and thanks to Pedro, the family
business is not bankrupt! Salud! The vultures can’t help but drink to that!

Amores con Trampa #109 Aug 28 2015: Dona Tomasita is back from WHEREVER... and Pantera meets Facu and starts her 'vengeance'... Rocio says her goodbyes
Beto tells Rocio he is discouraged of her, tells her to go
ahead and pack her bags and get outa Dodge.
San Bartolo: Porfirio
asks his former wife for explanations for her fleeing. Facu wants to know too. She claims it was because Porfirio was
unfaithful to her.
Lo Nuevo:
Facu is in disbelief… he knows Porfirio… She says Humilde
had told her all about the other woman in Porfirio’s life. THAT is why I left! Because
you betrayed me!!! (Facu is in full waterworks mode). … … So
apparently Facu’s mom had been tricked/deceived into thinking Porfirio had been
unfaithful to her. Yada yada…
Santee… he is reminiscing on Facu as a neighbor… who would have
known that a country farmer had more integrity than most… never passed invoice
on the 40 million pesos Santee owed him. How could he get those high profits
from the Japanese investors?? I will pay him… even if it’s the last thing I do
in my life I will pay him.
Back to San B… Facu has heard enough… he is really ansi so
he gets Porfirio’s blessing and his mom’s
too… and gets out of the room. Porfirio
assures his ex wife that his son and his grandchildren are the most sacred
thing he had in life… Swears that ‘that woman’ was not his lover. (Billy
Jean??) (I have a vision of Porfirio
doing the moon dance with white gloves and silver shoes)… Porfirio explains that he was visiting Lucia
often at that time because she was dying and he was helping her to get her
paperwork in order before she passed. HE
kept on visiting Lucia until she died.
(his former wife is finally getting a reality check)… Porfirio proudly
questions how could he even think of putting his family and the only woman he
ever loved and continues to l…. (cuts himself short) in jeopardy!! She apologizes. She claims she was made to
believe that the man she loved deeply had been unfaithful to her. Forgive me.
Forgive me. (he pulls her up to her
feet and kisses her)… Sweeeeet (and I never
thought I would see Don Ignacio kissing anyone in the mouth)…
At Carmona hall… Diego convinces Maria to let him in all the
way to Carmen’s room… Carmen whines to her mom that she should not have let Diego
in all the way before alerting Carmen of his visit. Maria tells Diego that Carmen has not been
eating… Diego tells her ‘I know you are stubborn….. well… persistent!’ but you also have to eat. Carmen insists that she has to study. An 8 is
not enough for her anymore. She will get a 10 in every subject! She wants them to leave her alone, she needs
to study. (she is taking selfies the
second they leave and she shuts the door behind them… )

Desperately Seeking a Recapper
Patio peeps, sadly we lost a recapper on the Imperdonable team so we have an open spot for Wednesday nights, I would continue to write the recaps myself but I'm committed to MIVC on the same night and can't do two recaps in one night, plus I also have my regular spot on Tuesday night's, that's three recaps in two days!
This is where you come in! If you would like to recap you can have the Wednesday night spot! We can't offer much in the way of compensation, but we might be able to throw in some gold, because Novela Maven knows a guy that knows a guy, some good company on the patio and the opportunity to have first dibs when the new Salinas/Colunga novela rolls in later this fall.
Oh yes, you heard that right. Salinas, and Colunga sharing the same space! You dear potential recapper have a shot of getting on that recapping team if you join us on the LI team.
Please let us know as we really, really,really need the help!
*Discalimer, we really can't offer gold but we do have Salinas and Colunga, which some would argue are better than gold, especially Colunga when he takes his shirt off!*

Yo no Creo En Los Hombres, Cap 33, Thu 08-27-15: In which Maleny is BSC and Ursula is colder than ice
Footsteps fall on the parquet floor, muffled only by
the Persian rug the mystery man skirts in approaching the door. He opens it to reveal his lover, posed seductively, reclining on the sofa and waiting for him. She
is not the mystery: he is. And he is…Ari. (Yes!) and he is clearly out of
sorts. Upset about Doris, he strips and prepares to seek oblivion in the skinny
arms of his lover…
But wait a minute, what about Max. He’s in his own
bedroom and someone has strewn rose petals all over the bed. Who? And why?

Lo Imperdonable #73 (Tel #74) Thu 8/27/15 How many times do the bad guys have to win??
I glossed over some of the useless chit chat and some of the scenes will be out of order.
Emiliano is upset because Salma and Virginia
don’t want Veronica getting any of Jorge’s money. Virginia thinks that
Vero doesn’t need it, she already has a rich husband. Emi is upset to be
reminded of Martin, yet again and Virginia is bothered by his reaction – is he still in luuv
with Veronica, even if he proposed to her?
Emi insists that they should all accept
Jorge’s decision and he feels completely disappointed with Virginia’s reaction.
They go back and forth on this several
times, with Salma adding her piece of venom, too, until Emi decides to storm
off, tired by the women's negative yapping. Virginia runs after him, leaving Salma crying - boohooo - and here comes Nico to
comfort her. He’s sure everything will be OK, they are such a great family and both Emi and Jorge adore her.
Salma is worried because her fights with Jorge over Veronica have become
even more heated then before. Nico gives her an awfully big and warm hug
(Cougar alert), managing to relax her. She wants to go talk to Jorge but
Nico tells her that he is already in a plane back to Mexico.
At the hospital in the city, Daniel tells Crescencio
that Manuel will survive, but he still needs a long treatment and there is no
saying how long it will be before he can move. Crescencio is determined to help
his grandson no matter what.
Mariana overhears the prognosis on Manuel
and later tells Daniel that she needs his help to move Pablo to another
hospital.
Because of course that Pablo is in the same place and he needs an expensive operation to fix his hand. Mariana is more than willing to pay for it, even after Pablo reminds
him that they’re not as close as they used to be. They see Crescencio and he
sees them, too. They don’t speak, but nobody is happy with the reunion.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #3 Thu 8/27/15 Volare Woe Woe
Sorry. I just have to link to a video of Domenico Modugno's performance of Volare on the Ed Sullivan show.
Heck, let's throw in Dean Martin for good measure.
Fiorella has accepted Vittorio Dragone's e-mail marriage proposal. Vittorio is over the moon! His whoops of joy are heard across the restaurant (La Dolce Vita by name) and Benito comes running. Vito is so happy! He's always wanted to marry an nice Italian girl! Benito suggests that Vittorio ask Fiorella to come to the clinic to meet him. Vittorio is confused by this, but Benito kindly explains that Vittorio will need to check himself into a botox clinic in order to look like the foto he sent to Fiorella. Benito thinks he should slow down, but the old man has already taken care of everything. And Benito called Vito a vetusto! HA! He's got a young bride winging her way to Mexico right now! Vito invites Benito to the wedding. He tells him to dress as a page and have expensive rings. Ok, I don't remember, did Benito say something in episodes 1 or 2 to the effect of "if this girl agrees to marry you I'll dress like an idiot at the wedding"?

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #2 Wed 8/26/15 Tania has a bad day
Hi patio peeps, I'm so happy to see so many old and new friends on the patio! Please feel free to join the discussion and if you can I'd love to see everyone pick a name for our discussions on the patio (aka, the comments section) it's always much nicer to call someone "Bob" instead of Anon, you know what I mean? Anyhoo, below you'll find your recap, I'm still trying to figure out the characters names so forgive me and correct me if you catch me making a mistake!
We start with Pedro who is a total kill joy! Tania wants to hang out and chill but Pedro tells her he came to Italy to work and he can't miss his meetings, she wants them to grab dinner together but he tells her he has to think about it, all in all he's not all that nice to her and the seed of dislike starts to grow in this recapper.

Hi peeps, you get me AGAIN! As always I encourage ready participation, I apologize for the quick recap but I have to work on another recap and can't spend too much time on either! I'm glad to report that i did not need beer to get through this episode, my liver is a happy liver!
We are going to the big city:
AP wants to go to Mexico to look after her brother and the OG, but Raymunda does not want her to go, the city is full of bad people, just look at what the outsiders have done in town. Blanca volunteers to go with AP but Raymunda is dead set against it. Ugh, she annoys me. Any way poor Pablo gets thrown under the bus, Raymunda says that poor Manuel was probably just defending himself from Pablo and that Pablo shot him and then ran away like a coward. Blanca tells her that Pablo was not the one who was always armed and looking for fights, but Manuel has always been a violent snot (I added that part in). Veronica and Marty are going to Mexico so that Veronica can get more information about her past from Jorge and offer to take AP with them.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 32 Wed 8/26/15- A fresh look of despair
(Some scenes were merged out of context)
MD comes in the garage to ask Orlando what happened with Isela. Orlando who has the Virgin Mary Cross on him at first denies but later admits that Isela got abused. But out of a sudden a distant shadowy figure lurks ready to spill her tongue "My daughter was not abused, she slept with a guy from happiness". Shocks and screams ensue from Orlando and MD only for the Heifer to repeat it again "She is just playing you for a prince while screwing the rich guy for fortune. You will see soon enough just how right I am !" . Orlando tells her to piss off and later he does some smacks on the poor brick wall ( Will his cross soon transform him into the Devil's incarnate?)
Ursula is assuring to Doc Medina ( The one taking care of Ivana. He refused to help Ursula out.) that he should help Ursula out just like Claudio has done less Good Doc wants to stay without his job. Arango smirks at the situation and sips a drink.
Claudio now in the hospital does not agree with Dan taking away Ivana from medical care but stupid Alma thinks that Ivana will be just fine in Ursula's Hell Care. They later take Leo home into his beautifully decorated room by Clara but organized by Max. Leo is very happy at the sight. Claudio wants to thank Clara for caring so much. The family has a short term happy-time and we all know that is not a good sign.
MD calls Isela to inform her that Orlando did not fall for the lies ala everything is just fine. But MD still asks Isela if she has an affair with Claudio. We later see that conversation cut for no utter reason. Now MD and Doris are discussing how to get rid of dirt on a dress all while Doris grabs a chocolate. Espy wonders what's up with Doris . MD just says that she is feeling bad about Ari . MD also believes that Ari is cheating on Doris with Maly.

Lo Imperdonable #71 Tue 8/25/15 Ha,ha you got shot
Morning patio peeps, this will be a quick recap but I think I'll be able to cover everything! I ask once again that peeps post with a name rather than Anonymous (cause I like knowing who I'm talking to) and as always reader participation is highly encouraged!
Note: Recap might be out of order just to allow me to get through the process faster.
Charming info out of the assistant:
So Aaron continues his plan to get information on Veronica from Jorge's assistant, and it works! From her he learns that Veronica was adopted by the Prado-Castellos, that everyone knows she's adopted and that her parents were not hot stuff, her father was an awful drunk and her mother abandoned her to run off with her lover.
Again, how do people know so much about Veronica's past when no one ever talked to Magadalena or Aaron? And even if Jorge was aware of Veronica's parents past I doubt he would have shared this information with people outside of the family. Whatever, I'll roll with it. Aaron also learns that Vero is a good egg.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #31 Tue 8/25/15: Just A Marriage Investment
Ursula wants to know how Maleny got the money back from
her playboy tennis coach. Mal says matter
of factly that she simply threatened him.
Ma says she had a hard time believing it when Arango told her as
much. Mal dismisses that and gripes that
Ma didn’t lift a finger to stop her from shooting herself in the head. Must be that Mama’s always loved her brother
more. Of course Daddy loved Mal more but
since he’s been dead all these years…..So, she’s getting Max back now because
he’s the closest to a man like Daddy that she knows.
Across town, Max and Maria Dolores end The Kiss. Didn’t she like it? Sure, but she’s damaged goods right now. Ok. He
understands but wants a chance once she’s back in circulation. MD says fine cuz who wouldn’t feel honored to
have a man like Max seriously interested in her.
Daniel’s still with Ivana at the hospital lying to her
about their having as many kids as she’d like once she is feeling better and
they get hitched.
Back at the barrio, Max is now on the phone with Mal
telling her that Honoria and family refuse to accept her “reparations”. She says sweetly that he’s got to make them
understand how badly she feels about the other night and to accept her
offer. He says he’ll try and hangs up.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #1 Tue 8/25/15 Ciao!
Oh, just look at all that beautiful blue water! We're in Maratea, Italy, complete with lovely stucco houses with orange/red roofs. Livia Brito in a wedding dress rides down a narrow street perched in the sunroof of a tiny blue car, waving happily.
Voiceover: Fiorella is my elder daughter. I don't know a sweeter, more lively girl. Everything is a party for her. She always has a song on her lips and her eyes shine (resplandecen) with light. She lights up the world with every step she takes and she makes everyone who knows her smile, no matter how bitter they might be. But no one could be unhappy at her side, because Fiorella is like a spring breeze, a tree full of flowers, a laugh bubbling under the surface (a flor de piel)--a bellissima muchacha italiana (beautiful Italian girl)--full of life, who dreams of marrying and being very happy at the side of the man she loves.

Lo Imperdonable #70 Mon 8/24/15 Honor
In which:
Ana Perla Cries,
And Marty Lies;
Manuel Triumphs
And Pablo is Trounced.
Manny can hardly contain his glee as he tells the Old Goat all about Pablo and Mariana. "They were together for years," he says softly. "He was just having a good time with my poor sister." And (as Mauricio astutely noted on Friday) the Old Goat doesn't take the news well. He sinks down in his chair and gasps. Manny smirks.
A loud, drunken Mariana ambushes Pablo outside his hotel room. She tells him that since he wouldn't listen to her, she found someone who would... Marcial or Macario... she can't remember. Fending off her advances, Pablo leads her to her room.

La Sombra del Pasado #134, 08/24/2015 (Mx 136 Part 2): The End of Our Tale
My patio peeps! We've made it to the end, woohoo! Before I start my recap I'd like to thank you all for making this so much fun. My teammates have been the best and I'm honored that they let me join them on this trip. Diva, Lila, Sara and Kris, you are the best team members that a girl could ever hope to have!
Now to the recap!
Ladies, gentlemen, here's a sight no one ever thought they'd see: Candela is on her knees, crying and praying for Aldonza's safe return, she also prays for Cristobal- she prays for him not to kill his father because that's a crime that would follow him around forever. Then, she wipes her tears and a look of defiance takes over, it looks like she's decided that she must take action, more on this shortly.
Cristobal and Padre J are still searching for Aldonza, they ride off to meet up with Mel and the rest of the search party.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #30 Mon 8/24/15: Discussion Page
Urban Anthropologist has computer problems and asked for a discussion page and highlites if anybody can throw a few up. If she can manage a recap we'll post it later on.
Thanks to ViviDC:
Part 1:
- Maleny's got a new hairstyle and a new attitude. She first goes to Ari and pressures him to give back every cent of the money her mama and Arango paid him to break things off with her. She doesn't have Max anymore and has nothing to lose now, so she threatens to accuse him of sexual harassment at the club if he doesn't comply.
- Ari folds, and has to ask Doris for the money back. He lies and says he's loaning the money to Orlando to pay for Leo's medical bills and his planned wedding with Isela. Doris breaks the news to MD, who now wants to go into business together. MD doesn't care. They can make it work and still be partners, even though Doris doesn't have money to invest right now.
- Maleny continues on her new tough attitude. She gives Arango a check to cover Ari's bribe money, and lets him know she is NOT as stupid as they think. Even in her drunken, hysterical state the night before and the night Arango picked her up from the club, she picked up on the non-boss-employee vibe between her him and her mother, and she knows their hiding secrets.
- Maleny then has a truck of new quesadilla stand supplies sent over to Honoria, much to Hon's, Fermin's, and Julian's shock.
- Esperanza is trying to forbid Clara from continuing her relationship with Leo. Clara is having NONE of that, and can't believe she and Leo are getting all this crap, when MD is about to get back together with that lying cheat, Dan. MD defends Clara and Leo's relationship to Espy. She then goes to the hospital and lobbies for Alma to leave the kids alone. Max overhears, and thinks MD has misinterpreted Leo's restrictions on visitors by the doctors as Alma being against the teen lovers. MD looks at Alma and tells Max to get clarification from his mama. Max once again tries to warn MD off Dan and says he'll be there for her. But she tells him to keep his distance, per his mama's orders.
- Max chews Alma out about her not trusting him, and betraying his trust by telling Maleny about his feelings for MD. He says he's lost his trust in her. Alma becomes distraught. Max and Leo also get suspicious when they see she called Clara's house from Leo's phone.
- To try to fix things, Alma allows Leo visitors from the hood-- Orlando, Julian, and a very happy Clara. The novios smooch happily. Alma leaves the room quietly.

===================================
Part 2:
- Claudio calls Isela in the office and tells her he's staying with his WIFE and SON in the hospital and won't be coming in to work. Having earlier been taunted by Josefa that she couldn't be that great in bed, if Claudio wasn't trying to get her back IN bed, Isela is obviously upset he's being so distant. She stabs some papers on Claudio's desk as she says farewell, and looks up to see Maleny watching her with a very knowing look. They threaten each other to not meddle in each other's business. Isela won't reveal what she knows about Maleny and Ari, if Maleny doesn't mess with her.
- Alma has overheard Leo tells Orlando, Julian and Clara that he remembers perfectly that he raised the car onto bricks. They don't understand, since the bricks were to the side of the car. They think Leo must be mistaken, but he's certain. Alma gasps to herself, now certain that someone tried to KILL Leo. She's right, but this only makes her more determined to keep Max and Leo away from the folks in that hood. She doesn't understand why Claudio offers to lend Julian office spaces next to his own (as compensation for saving Leo), but he's certain he will be able to get Julian's help in convincing Leo to distance himself from the hood, and eventually Clara.
- Ivana's showdown with Susana ends in stalemate. Susana does back down when Ivana threatens to limit her access to money and luxuries to mere crumbs.
- Meanwhile, Dan and Ursula try to figure out Ivana's game in keeping the miscarriage from him. They decide Ivana still wants to marry him, but wants to get revenge on him in some way. Dan goes to see her the next day, confronts her about the miscarriage, and rushes her to the hospital when he sees she's in a bad state. At the hospital, he and Ursula plot their next move while the doctors do a D & C. Ursula prays she doesn't die, before they can get their hands on her money. The doc comes out and tells them that the infection was so bad, that they also have to do a hysterectomy. Dan plays to grieving father and fiance, and asks the doctor to let him break the news to Ivana. This is all kinds of wrong, and the doc holds on to his professional ethics for a minute, before he agrees. Ursula and Dan decide not to tell Ivana that she can no longer have children. Dan says it's even better now. No pesky kids to get in the way of HIM ending up with ALL the money. Bwahahaha!

=================
Part 3:
- Alma, Claudio and Max see Dan and Ursula. Max calls out Dan's hypocrisy-- playing the faithful fiancé, when he saw Dan macking on MD just the day before, and just learned from Clara that he's trying to get back with MD. Dan claims he was just seeing MD to try to help her with the lawsuit Ivana is bringing against her. Alma and Ursula confirm the lawsuit to Max.
-Clara happily reports her visit with Leo to Espy and MD. Espy wonders how Alma treated her. Clara says she was cold, but polite, and it’s all due to MD going to talk to Alma. The sisters hug. Espy doesn’t want Clara to experience the troubles MD is having with Dan’s family, with Leo’s family. Clara doesn’t think you can even compare the two situations. Espy relents and gives in to Clara’s happiness.
- Dan goes in to see Ivana after she wakes up. He lays it on thick with the tears about their lost child, and how he wants to try for more. He lays his head on Ivana’s chest, and she looks like she may be falling for his act.
- Max tracks down MD as she’s walking through the park. He wants to know why she didn’t tell him about the lawsuit. He wants to help her. She tries to shoo him away, and says that Dan and Victor (the shady lawyer) are helping her. Max is flabbergasted. How can she trust Daniel? He tells her to stop playing the innocent and admit that she wants to be fooled by Daniel! MD snaps back and asks so what if she does!? Max declares his feelings for her again, takes her face into his face, and makes the slow approach to her lips. She doesn’t resist, and when their lips finally meet, she becomes a full participant. Another dress bag is dropped and totally forgotten as she melts into Max’s kiss.

Amores con trampa #105 and #106 8/24 and 8/25 Monday and Tuesday
I've condensed a lot tonight.
Rocio is very upset about her conversation with Beto. Feli wants to know whats wrong. She tries to brush it off. Feli rightly guesses she's upset about Beto and asks if they fought. Feli knows Beto adores Rocio. Rocio doesn't think so. Hilda was in Beto's office. Feli looks a little down about that. Rocio asks if he likes Hilda. He changes the subject. He encourages her to talk to Beto. "Tell him how you feel!" Rocio is convinced it's too late.
Maria tells Fac that Florencio has left for San Bartolo el Chico. Fac looks suspicious. Beto thinks this is a good thing since it means Florencio won't keep bothering Maria. Esteban interrupts this family meeting to ask Fac why he's leaving for SBeC with Porfirio. There's business to attend to! Fac has a meeting with the Japanese investors. Fac wonders how long it will take to wrap up the meeting with the investors so he can get going to SBeC. Esteban thinks if the ladies cook a good traditional meal, only a few days. Susana quips that Esteban is making jokes and Perpetua agrees...but they're bad jokes (Did I catch that correctly?) The family leaves

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #29 Fri 8/21/15: Amongst The Lies Various Versions Of The Truth Will Out
Parte 1
Read more »
Susana has come to Maria Dolores with a version of the truth
that best suits her purposes: Ivana is buying herself a husband and was willing
to fake a pregnancy in order to do so
and to keep him Dan; Daniel never loved Ivana and Susana tried to convince her of
it with the taped conversation. She lets MD hear enough of the taped conversation with Urrrrrsula to convince MD that they were in cahoots somehow.
At the same time, Max delivers Majorly Mad Maleny to her mother and deposits
her there with Urrrrrsula and Arango The Arranger. She waits for Max to leave: “—I’d rather they’d
brought you home dead!” “—Me , too!” Well, there’s still time!” Urrrrsula drags Mad Mal into her daddy’s
former study/office, sits her down in a chair, and pulls out a gun from the top desk drawer. This
didn’t kill your father. It was you,
with nerve enough to finish the job the coward couldn’t. Mal tells her to shut up but Mama brashly continues. “—Tell me at what moment you changed into a gutless
wonder like him? What were you
thinking? That by disappearing one night
from home Max was going to take pity on you and go back to you?”
“—So is this what you’d rather I do?” Mad Malady de Maleny picks up the gun, cocks
it and impulsively threatens to kill herself with it. Arrango rushes over and manages to grab the
gun away from her. (A pity he’s so quick
and able.) Mal, in her frustration and
anger, lets out with another cacophonous blast of certifiable bellowing, her reckless
hysterical hijinks not having met with Mama’s approval. No, says GRRRrsssula, Mal should have pulled that gun act in
front of Max so that she’d have ended up appearing the sympathetic victim and not that seamstress! Mal races out of
the room and Mama Bear tells Arrango it was a lesson she needed. “She’s turned into a spineless weakling just
like her father and look how he ended up!”

Lo Imperdonable #69 (Mex #70) Fri 8/21/15 Ana Perla Tries To Pull A Demetrio
The Old:
A fight ensues between Pablo and Julio. The two tussle and roll around on the ground. Julio threatens Pablo with a "Don't get near AP ever again or else."
The New:
Pablo tries to explain to AP that he broke up with Mariana. But AP doesn't want to listen to his explanations. Instead she slaps him hard right across the face. Poor Pablo.
Cancun, Mexico
On the yacht, Emi comments on how beautiful the scenery is. It reminds him of all the things he loves. **He daydreams of a seductive Vero inside the water at the beach**. Back in reality, Virginia tells him that she'll never forget this moment -- it's the happiest moment of her life. Emi asks Virginia to teach him to love her. Wait a minute ... now that's not something you want to hear from your future husband .. oh Emi... Anyway, Virginia tells Emi that she will teach him and she'll always love him because he needs to be with someone who loves him and not be out begging love from someone who doesn't love him. The two kiss .. and the kiss then turns passionate as they lay down on the yacht ... and well I think we all know what happens next ... but thankfully neither Uni nor the Mexican broadcast shows it ...

Amores con Trampa #104 of misbehaved kids... of a couple trying to revive the fire... of two grown men going on a scavenger hunt ... and a copter gadget on the loose
Refritos: The carmonas are enjoying themselves at the carnival,
including bumper cars and the giant water bubbles in the pool.
Lo Nuevo:
Perpetua and Porfirio are playing arcade games, shooting games. Actually, the whole family is there. Seems
Abuela Perpetua is very comfortable shooting that gun… she and Porfirio keep
teasing each other. The game is over.
Seems Susana won. She beat Facu, Beto,
Porfirio, Perp, Carmen and Jacinto.
Now they are in the roller coaster… Facu and Carmen at the
front seat. Facu is the one that looks
the most out of place or ‘not quite in his trade’. Jacinto looks scared or sick. Porfirio
comments later that he did not enjoy it that much either. He jokes that she
does not feel anything because she’s already dead (Yikes, Porfirio! That was
not nice!)
Later on at office, Rocio comes to see Beto. Beto is a bit cutting with her about the
party at her house that she did not invite him to. She tries to explain. He says he got it that her family does not like
him. He tells her with tears that the
worst thing that happened to him since arriving at the city was to meet
her. She painfully agrees… and apologizes. Hilda comes in. RoCio asks him if he and
Hilda are back together and he dryly says ‘none of your bidnez’. Rocio leaves hurt. Hilda tries to cheer Beto up.. but he says he
feels ‘de la trompada’ (real bad).
Back at Carm house, Porfirio is at dinner table with family
again arguing with Conchita and Perpetua about the boiled eggs. Carmen runs in. She is trying to fake like her punishment was
lifted already… PSYCH!!! Maria and Facu tell her the trip to the carnival was
an exception but she can’t even use her car.They demand her keys back.
Back to the office.
Beto agrees with Hilda to go out to dinner together. He leaves. Felipe comes back. He again is a
bit sarcastic with he ‘support’ of Beto.
Felipe says its no secret to anyone that they have a history. Hilda says
its no secret either that she is falling for another guy (Felipe can’t help but
smile about that).

La Sombra del Pasado #133 (Mex #136 Pt. 1) 8-21-15 In the Valley of The Shadow of HELL!
Greetings, my friends of the Sombra Patio! Or, shall I call it the Somber Patio? No! I
am not going out like that! I’m going
out with gratitude for all of you allowing me to guide you through the crazy
lives of the residents of Santa Lucia these past many Fridays. I am grateful as well for the company of so
many witty, brilliant, funny, passionate, observant and eloquent people
gathering here around this digital campfire.
I am grateful for my teammates, Eli, Hellashelle, Sara and our Captain,
La Diva del Desierto, 5ft. Latina! Thank
you for letting me retell this story to you all in this, my first full
time, from the beginning recap gig! I
got nothin’ but LOVE for alla y’all! Let’s
do this!
Read more »
I’m going to tell things a little out of order and not go
into my usual depth of detail and you will see why and I hope it’s ok. We repeat a bit of that sweet scene when
Valeria finds out that Hum changed his will before he died and El Santuario
belongs to Eman and Aldonza. She drops
heavily to the concrete bench while Pru babbles about the impossibility of this
turn of events. Val speaks aloud as Pru
tries to comfort her, “I always treated him so badly. . .I killed him and I
will have to live with that until my dying day!”
Later we see Val lying down in her cell when her private
hellish thoughts are interrupted by an insistent thump. She sits up and . . .AAAAGH! Her father, Humberto is standing outside her
cell, his eyes blackened! Val screams
and instantaneously he is in the cell sitting next to her, his presence
shockingly real as he watches her silently.
Valeria. Freaks. Out!
She screams that he is dead, he should leave! Two guards rush in and restrain her while a
white coat clad Dr. plunges a syringe into her arm leaving her mumbling and
sprawled on the cement block bed.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #28 Thu 08-20-15: The web gets even more twisted with lies
Refrito: Ari offers to help Doris with his savings. Orlando
declares that he loves Isela and will support her, whatever she decides to do.
If she’s pregnant and wants to keep the baby, they can raise it as their own.
She accepts but wants to leave and get away from her mother. Max tells Maleny
their relationship is over.
Nuevo: Max tells Maleny he’s in love with MD and she has a
classic reaction. She cries (without tears). She accuses Max of cheating. He
tries to explain that nothing’s actually happened between him and MD because he
wasn’t sure of his feelings for her until now and because she’s still in love
with Daniel. Maleny cries that it’s still cheating. And Dan hit
her because of MD. Max says she knows that’s not true. She calls him
a liar and a coward. Her brother messed around with MD for months, but now Max
is trituando(=grinding, crushing, shredding. In general,
destroying) the love they’ve shared for years for MD?! She
knocks some stuff off of the table they’re sitting at and storms out.

Lo Imperdonable #68 (Mex #69) Thu 8/20/15 Mariana Wrecks Havoc And Emi Pops The Question
(Filling in for Adriana Noel)
Clemente looking decent in a cheap suit visits Jorge at the PC offices and tries to get info on Veronica to no avail. He pretends to care about Veronica and tells Jorge that he would like to see his niece. Jorge replies with a "I'll think about it and let you know". Ha!

At the hospital, Virginia turns on the waterworks and plays victim. She tells Danny boy that she's "sacrificing herself" for their future and here he comes threatening her. He tells her it's no threat -- he's just being cautious because he knows her well and realizes that she isn't so indifferent to Emi. She tells him his threats are not necessary. He tells her that he hopes so and orders her to report to him from Cancun. He leaves the room. Virginia calls him an idiot. You got that right, Virginia!
AP, Pablo, and Gramps enjoy a nice family dinner at Gramps' place. AP questions Pablo about his reasons for getting nervous every time he thinks about his exhibition in New York. He tells her that it's because the exhibition is a fundamental step in his career and his future depends on it. Smiles all around. (Mauricio senses a storm coming...)
The next morning, Nanci walks towards Marty telling him that she wants to speak with him. He tells her that if she's going to continue insisting with the same thing then despite not wanting to he'll have to ask her to stay away. Nanci tells him that she has come to tell him something else and he has to listen.

La Sombra del Pasado #132 (MX 135)-Thursday 8/20/15
I always get a little misty-eyed when a show comes to an end and especially when it's my last recap. I'm glad I have Muchacha italiana to look forward to and I'm so happy that most of the team is staying on for it.
Eli, hellashelle, Kat and Lila- you are all the best teammates a person could hope for. I really feel like I've been a part of something special on this show.
Eli-your wicked wit is enviable. I wish I had just a smidgen of it. Your ability to compact the episode into such a powerfully funny recap leaves me amazed.
hellashelle-I groaned along with you every time your "nemesis" graced the screen. I totally stole your "long and short" of it a couple times and you were very gracious about it. I thank you for that. I hope I get to be on a recapping team with you again very soon! I hate that I'm too behind on YNCELH to join that conversation.
Kat-How do I even begin to thank you for all your support since DQTQTQ? I am honored and relieved that you haven't fired me.
Lila- I love your enthusiasm. Your love of Telenovelas and the characters in them shines through every line...and sometimes your hatred ;-)
*ahem* I'll get on with it then...

Lo Imperdonable #67 Wed 8/19/15 Evil Manny
I'm very busy here so I won't have part two up until tonight or possibly tomorrow morning.
I also need to say something very quickly, I'll write more once I've calmed down and can properly expressed myself: I have been made aware of some comments that have been posted on the recaps comment section that are hurtful and offensive and which have really discouraged me. I can not believe what I have read and am now too upset to say anything more.
JackieV- welcome to the patio! And to any lurkers out there, come play with us! This thing is becoming dreadful and the only thing that might save it are the witty comments from the patio!
And now your recap:

JackieV- welcome to the patio! And to any lurkers out there, come play with us! This thing is becoming dreadful and the only thing that might save it are the witty comments from the patio!
And now your recap:
- We get more of Veronica telling Matilde and Maggie that she will never forgive her mother for leaving her in the hands of her father- she does not remember much from her childhood but she does remember his temper, his shouts and his violence.
- Maggie and Matilde try to tell Veronica that she does not know what her mother was dealing with, but Vero doesn't care, her mother never even looked for her and she will never, ever forgive her, the topic so upsets her that she had to leave.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 27 Wed 8/19/15 - The Devil works Part Time
( Some scenes were merged out of context. Children below the age of 18 may find certain scenes disturbing)
Ivana in her Rant Mode announces bloody revenge on her enemies even if she is to ally with Mole Jacinto. Gerry is not fond of the scheme because Ivana was never that kind of person, she's in fact a great person . Gerry tries to convince Ivana to forget all this but she rejects so Gerry is outta there! At the exit he encounters with the Mole . The Mole glances Gerry with a creepy but satisfied look. When Gerry is gone, Jacinto's left hand shook as if he was ejaculating.
Ari is telling Doris that he was just telling Maly on phone that she cannot play tennis in the club anymore cause her Mommy Dearest sent Arango to threaten him over helping Maly suing Dan for abuse charges. Doris didnt believe it but she did went to Orlando to confirm it. Ari is shocked that she trusts Orlando more than him. Doris asks Ari to check on Orlando cause he was feeling bad over something.
Ursula informs Maly that she has talked with Ari saying that he cared more for money than for Maly. Arango will give Ari money but Maly will have to pay him back after she gets married . Maly gets mad but Ursula says that this is Maly's mess. If Maly wouldnt have killed her father everything would have been fine. Maly blames Ursula and Arango instead and begins crying. Alma comes to console her. Ursula and Maly manage to convince Alma that MD is getting her hands on Max to get revenge on Dan. She has even told bad words to Ivana to make her abort. Ursula advises Alma to convince Leo that staying in the neighborhood would be a very bad choice because the sisters are pure cancer. Clara asks Alma if she can visit Leo but she rudely rejects her. She does not want Clara in Leo's company ever.
MD is apparently on a job interview but gets called by Espy over work stuff. In the end she does get the job alongside a bag of cloth. She later goes to some apartment and falls right into Dan's trap. He starts grabbing and kissing her. MD does kiss him too but later she relents. She tells him on the stairway that some battles are lost since beginning . This is just one of them. Dan says that his family and Max put them in a trap. MD leaves but unfortunately she has left her bag in the apartment as well UGH. Dan begins spewing crocodile tears to himself but it's not like that we would care.
The Viper Josefa got visited by Claudio who is very worried for Isela. She has not returned his calls. The Heifer wastes no time in informing that Isela got raped by Orlando. She feigns care and worry for her pretty virgin daughter.
Orlando calls Isela lamenting that her mother treats her like that. But he still wants to marry her. If he knew his name he would kill him in moments notice. She hangs up because Claudio comes in the room. Claudio regrets what happened, he abused his position but Isela does like him. Her mother misunderstood her thats all. Claudio tries to touch her but she rejects him. He looks with a regretful look between his eyes. Ari was also there so Orlando threatens to kill him if he ever opens his mouth.
Espy warns Hon to stop spending that much money because one day it may run out. Hon says that she wants to see Vermin work. Espy doubts that anyone would give him work. Hon wants no mortifications though besides what will she say her son when Vermin has to leave? Espy says to say that it was all just to help Vermin. MD comes in and Hon gives her the blessing. MD informs Espy what's up. Dan even claimed that it was all Max's fault. Espy is insulted by his cowardice.
Max frees up two colleges from Julian's prison and they surprise him . Max hopes that they will remain on good behavior. He is heading out but Clara stops him because they would not let her see Leo. Why did not he tell her? Max says that he was doing something else but they did release him from coma. He has also phoned Adrian, the lawyer who was supposed to work with Julian and told him of the situation off-screen . Someone comes to give Clara the dress that MD forgot in the apartment. Clara also asks if she could send an SMS greeting to Leo.
Ursula is counting money but she also hopes that Ari will not be demanding more dough . She wonders why her children choose lovers from the poor class. Arango laughs at that since the kids are repeating Ursula's history without knowing it. Ursula orders him to not tell anyone of the past and Arango promises since its convenient not to forget certain things . What a loving creep!

La Sombra del Pasado, Capítulo 130 (Mx 133): Little Ironies in the Night
You guys, it's been a pleasure. I've had such a great time recapping Sombra, I'm sorry to see it end. I want to thank the rest of the AMAZING recap team and everyone who sat on the Naughty Melon's patio for making my first recapping experience so awesome. For all of those reasons, and for all it's ridiculousness, I'm gonna miss this TN. On to the cap! (I'll edit later)
The Short of It: Everyone treads
water as they find out Hum’s condition (not good). Sev takes expected
advantage/action while Hum’s alone in the hospital. Pru and Val try to flee the
cops. Also, Joaq tells Flavia he wants a divorce.

Lo Imperdonable #65 Mon 8/17/15 You oughta be in pictures!
In which:
• Disgusting Aaron exchanges fire with a cop. Both are wounded and Aaron gets away. More vindictive than ever, he vows to kill Vero.• Poor sick Ginny seems to have Emi where she wants him... or does she?
• Marty seems to have Vero where he wants her... or does he?
• It's movie night in Mina Escondida – pass the popcorn!
• And Nanciyaga STILL doesn't get it.
Jumping right in with the new stuff –
In Mexico City, the police send for reinforcements in the hopes of catching Disgusting Aaron (thanks, Mauricio!) when he comes looking for Magdalena at the hotel.
In Mina Escondida, Blanquita, Polo and Matilde join the picnickers. There are smiling introductions and hugs all around. Vero scratches inside her cast with a knitting needle – the itching is driving her nuts. (The knitting needle is getting so much play that I'm starting to believe it's part of the plot, like maybe Vero uses it to stab Manny in the eye the next time he drags his knuckles onto the screen.)

An

working under. He shouted out in pain when the car fell on him.
Ivana
now had to deal with her meddling aunt. She told her that Maria
Dolores said that Daniel had no money. She demanded to know what
Susana knew. Susana took an “I told you so” attitude and said
she had proof. She played back the recording she made of the

We had a Susana and a Margarito sighting tonight! Margarito has gotten pleasantly plump and Susana is still with the fists at the ready...just like Fac. I think that may have been the funniest fight scene I've ever seen.
Well, played show. You totally psyched me out! That whole scene with Conchita finding the envelope behind the painting of the Last Supper was a DREAM!!! Porfirio wakes up from his nightmare screaming “You found my secret!!” What could it be?
Isa catches herself singing the theme to AI3! Just like me! She sends Peloncha out to get the newspaper. Peloncha grumbles about how old fashioned it is to read the paper. People use their tablets these days. She looks up to see Porfirio. She’s afraid and prays that God take her away...but not to Saint Peter. Porfirio gets flirty. Peloncha intones “cruz cruz cruz que se vaya el diablo y que venga Jesús” (May the devil begone and Jesus come!) Conchita makes her way to the hedges...and she is not happy that Peloncha seems to be busting moves on her “territory.” Porfirio asks Peloncha if she’d like to make him a good hard-boiled egg. Cochita flounces away with Porfirio following.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Cap 24, Fri August 14, 2015- Maria Dolores and Ivana Get Their Daniel is Wakeup Call; But Will They Hang Up on the Loser?
~~Recapped by JDesdeNYC~~
Scenes combined so as to not annoy the recapper and reader
To Tell the Truth
Susana tells an incredulous Gerry that Daniel has threatened to throw her out of Ivana’s house after he and Ivana marry. Susana says she has to play both sides; while she will continue to pretend to support the Dan-Ivana marriage to Dan’s face, she thinks it makes no sense for Ivana to marry that worm and find out later he fooled her. Gerry still plays the “they should marry for the sake of the baby” card and Ivana shows up. Susana leaves and Gerry finally breaks it to Ivana that Maria Dolores wasn’t some “fling” (aventura) for Daniel. Gerry saw MD come to the hospital, where Ivana was interned during her miscarriage scare, in her wedding gown looking for Daniel. Cara de impactada de Ivana.
Josefa still is angry and hateful towards Isela asking why she confirmed Honoria’s suspicion that she is messing around with Claudio. Josefa plans to get rid of Orlando once and for all so Isela can focus on the “Get Claudio” mission.
The Lying Santibanez Come to Blows
Alma reminds Claudio of his responsibility to the Santibanez family, as a close friend of the dead Daddy Santibanez, so he can take care of the Maleny/Dan abuse situation privately. Speaking of the devil Dan and Maleny argue about Max insisting on reporting Dan to the police. Maleny says of course she won’t report him but Dan insists Ari clarify and retract to Max that Dan physically abuses his sister. Maleny says Ari can’t do that and neither will Max believe her if she says the accusation is false. Mal says MD is going to run into Max’s arms as MD will not return to Dan after all the lies he has told. Dan says he’ll get MD back by telling her Mal was the one who got the fake judge for the civil wedding ceremony. An outraged Mal grabs Dan’s face and tells him no way she’ll allow Dan to lie on her like that. She will tell MD the whole truth because if Max leaves her, Dan won’t get to be with Maria Dolores. The siblings push and shove with Dan eventually actually abusing Maleny. The avenging Max sees the abuse firsthand and Dan only stops after Max sucker punches him. Max insists that Mal reports Dan to the police.

Lo Imperdonable #64 (Tel #65) Fri 8/14/15 The Return Of The Veronica Sketch
Vero wants to know what "secrets" Nanci is talking about. Marty lies to save his butt and claims that the "secrets" are the ones about 1. Dim being his brother and 2. that Dim took his life. Vero now understands Nanci's reason for calling her la mala mujer. Nanci must also believe that Vero was the slut who had been with both brothers. Vero is really angry now and orders Nanci not to get near her or her hubby again. Then she turns to Marty and demands that he put Nanci in her place or she won't have her (Vero) around anymore. She then storms off on her crutches.
Marty turns to Nanci and yells at her for going around saying that she loves him. Nanci tries to hug him and tells him that it's true that she does love him. But Marty backs off and tells Nanci that he loves his wife. Nanci says that what she says is true. The patron is still keeping secrets that when they come to light will separate him from Vero.
Meanwhile, Ana Perla and Blanquita chit chat about Ana Perla's upcoming wedding. The wedding will take place before Pablo heads off to The Big Apple. Ana Perla will be accompanying Pablo as his wife on the trip and is worried that she won't be on the level of all those important people that will be at Pablo's exhibition. And Pablo did want the wedding to be AFTER he returns from The Big Apple.... Blanquita thinks Pablo wanted it like that so he could have more money and is sure that Pablo will sell a lot of his crappy paintings at the exhibition. Ana Perla will ask Pablo how she should behave and is excited about traveling with Pablo as his wife.

Why, if you weren't a woman I'd. . . .! La Sombra del Pasado #128 (Mex 131) Friday, 8-14-15
Good evening, good morning, good afternoon wherever you are my beloved Sombra Patio Peeps! Let’s jump right in!
We get another view of that beautiful, candle-lit farewell
to Padre Jeronimo. We are up close and
personal with all the misty eyes bathed in the soft glow of tens of votives ,
warm embraces and a view from above as the crowd gently parts as Padre walks
amidst them and takes his leave.
Right away we see what the evil lackey, Javier is up to: he’s going to damage a gate holding back the
waters of the huerta’s reservoir, flooding it and wasting this precious
resource! Uuuuuf!
Humberto has returned home after his conversation with Cris
and confronts Valeria about her monumental lie that Cris is the father of her
fetus. Hum shouts his outrage and shame
at her actions and, of course, Val tries to play the offended one! She’s so tired of his complaints! He never has anything positive to say to
her! How in the hell can he when she is
always talking nonsense! He can’t
understand how she could lay with that good for nothing Abelardo! Well, Pru protests Val needed some comfort
after Cris dumped her and Val tells her to shut up because she (Pru) is to
blame for all this. It goes on from
there but Hum manages to yell at Val that for once in her life she needs to
take responsibility for her own acts though Pru IS guilty of covering for her
all her life and he’s sure Pru knew about this!
Val yells back if he wants to help her he should tell her how to get rid
of this g.d. kid. Oh no, she’s going to
have the baby and HE’s going to see to it!
Pru looks on with eyes as huge as those figures in the sad sack/endearing paintings from the 60s.

Amores con Trampa #99 Porfirio's ghosts are closin in on him... and Carmen needs to get off the see saw.
Refritos: Facu offers to Santee to sell him the stock now…
or you are screwed up for good.
Mysterious woman talks on phone with Frankee… asks him how
is the investigation going. He is about to leave San Bartolo el Chico but the
Samarripa cousins are making it a bit rough. She remembers them. And gives him
advice to watch his wallet. She insists
he needs to find Porfirio Carmona.
Meanwhile Porfirio tells Conchita that he has only truly
loved one woman… his wife… he has kept
on living with the hope to someday reunite with her… his wife was everything to
him. The only woman he has truly truly truly truly loved. (seems even the rooster is tired of hearing
him say the same line).
Lo Nuevo:
Santee and Isa atrive home to see Felipe on a
really-fun-looking electric one-wheeler. They all talk that Santee just sold
his stock in the company to Facu… Isa is ok considering they can live on the money
he just got until the new company he is starting is operational. He whiles a
bit about bureocracy and government being real slow in Mex for these things… (I
have a feeling he has some other thing that is worrying him).
At Carmonas, Porfirio is dusting his last supper painting.
Perpetua comes by and notices he is not hugry even for her boiled eggs. He is acting strange and she knows it Maria
comes by and Perpetua tells her about her concern about Porfirio. He is acting
strange. Maria undermines what Perpetua
is saying. Perp wants to call the doctor.
Isa talks to Santee, she is talking a bit of nonsense, even
tells him he should go find a job (yeah right, it will rain upwards before
that, Isa) He talks about all the expenses and all the things she wants that
cost money, even a lipo.
At the gym, Estefi comes in. the trainer with beard talks to
her, is a bit cold with her. Not a good day to get on her back. She whines about Perpetua constantly
scrutinizing her. Estefi assures the guy
that Perpetua might be smart but not as smart as her. In comes the other woman and Estefi is
running away from her and putting the guy in the middle. (not sure who this
woman is but seems estefi owes her money or has tricked her into something,
sorry have not watched much this week).
At office, Felipe wants to talk to Facu about something,
Facu has to poke him a bit before he opens his mouth. Felipe finally does. Wants permission to miss work, the end of year
dance is coming up at the college. Facu
wants to hear more. It seems there is
some kind of king/queen of the dance contest where the winners can win
grants/scholarships to go to college
overseas.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 23, Thu 08-13-2015: Dance of the Rat Fink
Quick refrito: MD
almost swoons into Julian’s arms after he tells her her marriage license
isn’t real.
Lo Nuevo: Ari catches up Maleny as
she drives her sporty convertible out of the hotel. He’s freaking out a little
because her mom caught them together. She’s annoyed because he’s more worried
about losing his job than about their relationship ending, but tells him not to
freak--her mom has no idea who he is or even that he works; she thinks he lives
off of Mal. Alma calls her and tells her to hurry over.

Lo Imperdonable #63 (Tel #64) Thu 8/13/15 Let's get this party started!
Refrito
Aaron tells Malena that their daughter has
been adopted by a very rich family, after he decided to fake his death.
The new stuff
Pueblo Nuevo – If the engagement is so
pretentious, what is there left for the wedding?
Pablo’s mom has very nice words to say
about her son – ever since his father died, he proved to be hardworking and
well behaved, making her extremely proud. If Crescencio accepts him into his
family, he will have nothing to be sorry about.
Abuelo is happy with what he hears, all his
remaining doubts are now gone. He asks for the party ceremony to continue. Pablo
starts his speech: he asks the head of the family to give his consent and then
both he and Ana Perla kneel, while Crescencio gives his godly blessing.
Sorry, this looks so ridiculous.
As Pablo slips a ring on AP’s finger, Julio
looks on in anger and then leaves.
In the city
Aaron hugs Malena, promising her that their
daughter had a very good life. He kisses her (both Malena and the Patio can
barely stand it). Malena wants some more information, but Aaron has shared
enough for now. He wants some money to pay his debts. After she obliges, he’s
out the door, leaving Malena to shake with disgust and with the realization that Aaron hasn’t changed one bit.

La Sombra del Pasado #127 (Mex 130) 8/13
Too short, out of order, mostly from memory, probably not coherent and needing lots of fill in.
The Fetus (Thanks, Eli!)
Cristobal is now well aware that the fetus is not his. He leaves the gynecologists office in search of Val but Juanita tells him that Val is in San Miguel.
Val is given literature to read about the procedure and paperwork to fill out. She cannot interrupt a pregnancy after 12 weeks and will need to have an ultrasound. Val assures the doctor that she is not that far along and will bring the ultrasound report from her own doctor. The clinic doctor explains that the clinic will have to perform their own ultrasound. It's required by law. To interrupt a pregnancy after 12 weeks could be very dangerous for the mother and is a crime.
Chris is waiting at Val's door when she comes home. He confronts her about lying to him. Of course he has no memory of "that night" because NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE BABY IS NOT HIS! Val says she doesn't know what Cris's father told him...ooops! Cris is cara de why am I the last to know?? What? Cris is incredulous. "My father knew???" Cris tells Val it's her OB/GYN who spilled those beans. Cris is greatly relieved that he will never have to see Val ever again.

Lo Imperdonable #62 (Tel #63) Wed 8/12/15 "Party On While You Can, Folks, Because Your Happiness Is About to End!!!"
Quick Note: Hi everyone, I'm back and happy to report that we made the move across country without a hitch. First, allow me to give a quick shout out and thank you to the rest of our recap team for pinch hitting for me these past few weeks. They all did a great job, as usual. Also, I managed to catch up yesterday on my reading of all recaps and comments and in the process I realized (since I watch the Mexico broadcast) that at some point Univision combined two episodes, so that Univision's episode #62 last night was actually episode #63 of the original Televisa broadcast in Mexico. I noted this in my title for any of you that read our recaps but watch online copies of Televisa's broadcast.
On with the recap. Some scenes are combined.
Lo Viejo: V-Snake feels awful, but it's no surprise. Daniel warned her of the effect of the medicine he gave her to cause her a medical crisis and gain even more sympathy from her family. She whispers to him a plan for squeezing all the juice out of this manufactured "crisis". Vero tells Martin she has to go to Mexico City and can't wait any longer because she is worried about Malena. Malena runs to the shower to wash away the filth left on her body by her rapist husband Aaron.
Lo Nuevo:
Martin promises Vero that he will speak with her doctor about going to Mexico City, but if the doctor says it's too dangerous for her, then he can't do anything about it. She tells Martin she needs to go to their room to rest. After she leaves, Martin tells Alfredo how happy he now is with Vero, but confesses he still has to learn to control his jealousy. He worries that Emi still loves Vero even if he plans to marry Virginia. Alfredo reminds him Vero loves him, but he needs to control his jealousy or he will lose her forever. The doctor shows up. Martin tells him about Vero's wish to go to Mexico City and the doctor agrees to examine Vero.
