Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #7 Wed 9/2/15 Pedro is terribly unlikable
I'm going to skip the old and get to the new, but let me just add that if anyone called my significant other "incompetent and mediocre", well, let's just say someone would be in need of some serious medical care.
Fifi gets bad news:
The doctor at the hospital has informed her that Gigi must get proper medical care, she needs to continue with her treatment and she needs to live some where calm, with fresh air- if Fifi does not take decisive action Gigi will die! Fifi has no money to take Gigi anywhere but the doctor tells her she must act!
Vittorio has ants in his pants:
And can't wait for the private detective to come back with more information so he tells Benito that they will be going to search for Fifi themselves, and off they go! The two end up in a really shady part of town, Benito tells Vittorio that it's not really safe for them to be there, but does Vittorio listen? Noooooooooooo. They arrive at the address given by the cab driver and soon find themselves the victims of a robbery, they even took Benito's clothes! The two make their way back to their car which is now missing the tires, they see a mean looking group of "vatos" and instead of risking more humiliation or injury they call a cab and get the heck back to the restaurant.
Once they are back in the safety of the restaurant Vittorio refuses to pay Benito back for the items that were stolen from him (booo), Vitto still won't give up on finding Fifi because he does not forgive anyone who makes a fool out of him and he wants his money back! Benito tells him Fifi probably already spent all the money and Vitto is loaded so it's not like he needs it, but Vitto makes it clear: He is not giving up on finding Fifi!
Lies,lies,lies:
Fifi and Gigi come back home from their trip to the hospital, Benito's parents want to know what the doctor told her and Fifi lies, she says the doctor said Gigi would be fine!
He can't keep it in his pants and everyone knows:
We are introduced to Julieta and Anibal, Julieta is an old family friend of the family and seems to be one of the only people that Eloisa actually likes. She is there to stay and visit while her husband is away on business, quickly we learn that her husband is a hoe and that everyone knows that when he goes on business trips it really means he's having an affair. *side note: Maribel Guardia, aka Julieta is still drop dead gorgeous!* Anibal says his goodbyes and Julieta and Eloisa gossip, Eloisa tells her that Pedro is MIA and that if he does not get home soon she won't be throwing him a birthday party.
Later, Sergio hits on Julieta and suggests they have an affair, Julieta says she's not that type of woman and that she loves her husband-even if he is a rat bastard, Sergio suggests that maybe she stays with Anibal because at her age she's scared of being alone.
Eloisa is tired of waiting on Pedro- she tells Dante to go and find out what the heck is going on with her favorite grandson.
Dante goes searching:
He arrives at the office as Pedro is getting ready to leave, Pedro tasks Fidel with distracting Dante and succedes, but later Dante tells Fidel not to treat him like an idiot, he knows exactly what Fidel did and the next time he pulls such a stunt things won't turn out well for him.
Dante reports to Eloisa that Pedro is a super busy bee at work, but Eloisa makes it clear: the will will be read that night and if Pedro is not there for the reading she will replace him with Osvaldo. Sonia and Sergio hear this and both run off to try and take advantage of the situation, Sergio frantically calls Pedro but he's not picking up the call and then his phone runs out of charge and he can't find his charger or his extra charger.
Sonia tries to distract him from his task, going so far as to come on to him, but that's more that Osvaldo can take and he stops her before things get out of hand.
Pedro tries to put out fires: (and the dude is hella paranoid!)
Pedro walks into Tania's aprtment and finds Fifi there- he wants to know why sh'es there and what she's doing, she tells him she was just cleaning up the mess and he tells her she has no right to be there. She says she has more of a right to be there than he does, because he treated poor Tania like dirt! Then it happens, he spots Tania's journal in her hands and he goes ballistic! He accuses her of trying to black mail him and tells her he will pay her for the journal. Fifi is totally confused by his accusations and says she's not looking to black mail him but he's not buying it, she's just as greedy as everyone else, so what's her price? Fifi says she wants to go to rancho Los Angeles for the health of her sick sister but Pedro thinks she's planned this all along! He has to go but tells her to meet him at a restaurant later to talk. This scene sealed it for me: Pedro is a jerk!
Fifi arrives at the restaurant and Benito goes out of his way to distract Vitto, first he claims there was a rat in the kitchen, then that there was a fire in another restaurant, meanwhile Fifi and Pedro talk.
He still thinks she's trying to black mail him but Fifi says that's not the case, she just wants a job, and her sister is sick and a place like rancho Los Angeles would do wonders for her health. Pedro offers to pay for the medical care but Fifi refuses, she tells him what Gigi needs is the peace and quiet of the country but Pedro thinks she just wants to live like a queen at the ranch, that's not so says Fifi, she just wants a job not handouts! Pedro says he can't take her there because grandmother Eloisa would not allow it, blah blah,blah.
Fidel interrupts the conversation and tells Pedro that they need to go, if he's not back home when the will id read grandmother will replace him with Osvaldo! Pedro says he has to go but he must think Fifi is stupid because he asks that she give him the journal and they will sort things out later, Fifi refuses and he threatens her (jerk, bad galan, bad!)
Fifi is left alone as Benito arrives, behind him is Vittorio so Benito plants a wet one on Fifi!
*In other news the provate detective is in the hospital seeking information on Fifi and Gigi, Gigi is actually in the hospital because she feels sick and faints! Grandma Eloisa is tired of waiting and requests that the will be read!*

You would think a concerned sister would spend her time looking for a job instead of poking around in in a dead womans apartment.
Sergio seems to be an equal opportunity propositioner, but no one ever seems to get miffed at him. I think at one point when he and Julieta were talking he reminded her of when they used to play doctor together and she laughed and said that had been wonderful.
Except for Fifi and Pedro's interaction together, last night was a light hearted episode, especially Benito being relieved of his clothes, and the car being up on cement blocks.
So Sonia realizes that Osvaldo is exactly what Pedro said he is.
Thanks again, Princess.

I know Gigi is sick and this is her and Fifi's truth. Pedro doesn't believe it. Fifi is an interloper who "entered" Tania's life yesterday. No matter what she heard between Pedro and Tania and no matter what she read in the diary, she does NOT know what happened between Pedro and Tania. This is Pedro's truth and Fifi doesn't believe it. Pedro finds Fifi in Tania's apartment with Tania's diary, Tania, whose death has not been definitively ruled a suicide, a woman who has been dogged by the media: her diary could be a valuable commodity in the hands of a scandal-loving press. I understand totally Pedro thinking Tania is a scam artist and opportunist. Why should he believe the story about her sick sister needing fresh country air? He offered to buy the diary. She should take the money, fly back to Italy, get the treatment and live in the fresh Italian air! She really pissed me off and made me see the whole situation through Pedro's eyes.
What is she going to do when she gets to Rancho and finds out it's not the tranquil place she thinks it is? What will Pedro owe her then? Will she size up the relationship between him and Granny and hold the diary over his head to manipulate family dynamics?
And Benito should have had his ass ripped off and handed to him! He KNOWS the girls were not there and yet he let Vito lead his stupid ass into a dangerous neighborhood where they could have both been killed! Vito doesn't owe him a damned thing, he's acting dishonestly and now dangerously! He is getting on my third nerve!
Go Sergio! Doing his best to help Pedro! Interesting dynamic with Julieta. Will the will finally get read? Prolly saving it as a cliff hanger for the weekend.
Well, seems like every episode begins or ends with Gianna fainting on a couch somewhere. Hope I don't sound heartless, but it's losing its lustre as a plot device. On the upside, we found out that all those hours at the gym have paid off for Benito...and thankfully we were spared seeing Don Vittorio au naturel.
Sorry, Vitto, I won't be sitting at your Silver Fox table.
(Are there any tables set up on the patio yet?)
Must run...Big thanks again, PJJ!

"Fifi has no money to take Gigi anywhere but the doctor tells her she must act!" This is an uncomfortable theme we keep coming to over and over. And Fiorella maybe quick on her feet when it comes to hatching blackmail plots (hey, let's call it what it is, and it's all for a good cause and to advance the plot) but she's floundering on the practical solutions and the doctors in Mexico are as unhelpful as the ones in Italy...do they really not even bother making service referrals? Frustrating!
"they even took Benito's clothes!" I don't know who they were hoping to appeal to with that, 'cause I'm pissed at Benito. I don't care how good he looks in his boxers.
"side note: Maribel Guardia, aka Julieta is still drop dead gorgeous!" Big time! Which made this "Sergio suggests that maybe she stays with Anibal because at her age she's scared of being alone." kind of funny because, seriously, Sergio? She sure as hell would not be alone!
"Eloisa tells her that Pedro is MIA and that if he does not get home soon she won't be throwing him a birthday party." Ooh, scary. I'm sure that would make any grown man quake in his boots. Don't forget to tell him you're cancelling the clown and the pony rides. That'll show him.
Fiorella and Pedro at the restaurant was one of the worst "everybody's talking and nobody's listening" scenes EVER and having Benito running around trying to keep Vittorio from seeing Fiorella made it even worse.
"Pedro offers to pay for the medical care but Fifi refuses, she tells him what Gigi needs is the peace and quiet of the country" Damnit, Fi! Take the money! There is no peace and quiet at that ranch! Did Tania leave that out of her diary? Right now I'd be perfectly happy if Fi and Pedro just never saw each other again.
Well our very angry galan is bumping his head up against the logic of our very illogical señorita. The sparks aren’t flying yet, but if they do, it will be the flash of steel hitting concrete.
I think there is a dart board on the patio so there must be a table or two and chairs! Yes VINO or VODKA, we need something stronger than mellontinis!
Ditto ALL comments today!
Well, we all really that Pedro is a joyless asshat right now, our girl Fifi will someday turn him into a cheerful, loving galan who is high on life. In the meantime Nito seems smitten with his boss Vito's email ordered Bride.
Fifi bonded very quickly with her employer , the late tragic Tania.
Very odd. Now, Fifi is obsessed with getting Gigi to the rancho of the rest and the worthless.
Dad I sopy Dances with Sunglasses? Cutie. I hope we get to see him dance.
Word, tofie! Fiorella needs to do something practical and get her head out of the clouds!
Lila, "What is she going to do when she gets to Rancho and finds out it's not the tranquil place she thinks it is?" Good question. Scary question! "Will the will finally get read?" I'm starting to be just as impatient as any of the Vultures at this point! Read the damn will already, y ya!
Sara, I'll take a bottle of vino...but then what will everyone else drink?
Sandy in TN, "the flash of steel hitting concrete" very good description!
Susanlynn-I am giggling away at your comments.
Yes! Read the frickin' will!
Agree with you, J in O! Admit Gigi to the frickin' hospital already! She's been on the verge of dropping dead since this show began and she obviously needs more than fresh, frickin' air, she needs another heart or at least some kind of surgical intervention! Sheesh!
So, I Googled the "Julieta" actress and looks like she has her own surgically added flotation devices. Usually this means a Bad Person, especially if the neckline is low and the hemline is high. It will be interesting to see . . .
Maybe we'll learn more from the reading of the will!!!
Sandy, it seems like Vittorio considers Pedro an old friend...I'm still waiting to see evidence of this "friendship." Does Pedro hang out there a lot during his copious amounts of leisure time? *snort* Or maybe this is the place he's always brought his dates because Vito will set him up with a private room and keep the paparazzi away?
Well, we came into this story at a high stress point. Fifi has been under her own stress and she has not helped Pedro any.
What say y'all she'll show up at Rancho tonight just in time for the will to be read!
How? How the heck do I know! Who thought Tania's drunken bonding with Fifi would lead her to think she had the right to use Pedro's Estate as a personal spa for Gigi!?
At any rate, the recappers have free reign to write as they please, so if Fifi and Gigi make life easier, so be it.

Fifi .... I think of french poodles. LOL But it works for me here because Fiorella is too much to type out.
We could go with just Fi and Gi. :-)
"quickly we learn that her husband is a hoe" was hysterical.
“Sergio suggests that maybe she stays with Anibal because at her age she's scared of being alone”. Ummm, “because at her age”??? I think this proves perfectly exactly why he is alone. As you noted, Maribel Guardia is beautiful.
I love Gattorno and it looks like he is already up to no good, likely cheating on the lovely Julieta. And yes, it looks like she is the only family member (outside of Pedro).
Kat your "Ugh, ok, so what table am I at? I think I'm still at the Sympathy for Pedro table under the Umbrella of Still No Excuse, Dude" made me smile.

I agree! Shall we dub him an 'hombrezuela'?
We can be grateful that they stole Benito's clothes & not Vittorios.
That Fio could even get into Tania's apt is ridiculous, isn't it an investigation?
Oh yes! I'm having flashbacks to that episode of Sex & the City where Samantha had a fling with a very much older man .... about Vittorio's age. LOL
