Lo Imperdonable #104 Fri 10/9/15 Marty is freed, Virginia and Manny bond, and Julio is shirtless.

Just as Marty believes that his world has crumbled, after being found guilty of fraud, Veronica makes her grand entrance into the courtroom with the evidence that she needs so hubs can once again be a free man. She presents the police report to the judge stating that it says that the gold from La Morenita was robbed by two individuals from the village and replaced with the fake ingots. Judge kvetches stating that Veronica is interrupting a courtroom trail and not following the proceedings she must follow to present the evidence. In the end, Judge accepts to look at the evidence and calls a recess stating that he will make his decision in an hour. After Marty is taken away back to his cell, Veronica tells Jorge and Emiliano that she has found the La Morenita gold and they'll have it tomorrow. 

Virginia confronts Manny over him getting her hopes up by making her believe that he would sell her his gold. Manny reminds her that nothing was signed and besides he can't sell his gold for such small earnings. He'd at least have go to up 50%. At that moment, Virginia gets a call on her cellphone that now magically works in Mina Escondida. It's Emiliano who tells her to cancel the gold order from La Perla because Marty's gold has reappeared. He tells her that the gold was stolen by two miners from Mina Escondida. Virginia now realizes that the REAL reason Manny had for not wanting to sell her his gold is because he doesn't have it anymore. She asks him if he's the one who stole it. 

Salma pours her heart out to Nicolas and breaks his heart in the process. She tells him that she wants to escape from her problems. It isn't the first time that she has done it and now it is costing her. She wants to start a new life free of lies and deception. She breaks his heart by telling him that she cannot leave with him and that it is best that the two of them not see each other anymore. 

Now that Raymunda, Joaquin, Blanquita, and Polo are a united family once again they are about to head out the door to attend OG's burial. But Padre Juan comes to see them and lets them know that he had to bury OG alone. He lets them know that AP has disappeared.

Ana Perla's new torturer boss shows Ana Perla her new hovel home and hands her a uniform. The boss has supplied Ana Perla with paint which she can use to pretty up the place. When left alone, Ana Perla wonders what the sex of her baby will be. She secretly hopes that her baby will have a brain unlike his/her parents hopes she'll have a baby girl.

Meanwhile, Pablo and Mariana have made it to The Big Apple, and are having a drink at the hotel bar. Mariana tells Pablo that she'll make him famous and uses this as an opportunity to get a little chin touchy with him which clearly bugs him. Mariana doesn't think there is anything wrong with her getting chin touchy with him since they are friends, riiiight? Wellll, Pablo doesn't really think there could be a friendship between them because of Ana Perla. Really, the only thing Mariana could be to him is his agent. Mariana agrees. Although we on The Patio know that she wants Pablo as a boyfriend/husband. Pablo lets her know that he'll paint for the gallery but when he has made enough money he'll return to work for Marty.  Sigh ... this sudden career change makes no sense .. but whatever let's go with the flow. Mariana tells him that his faithfulness to others is one of the many things that made her fall in love with him. She laments that there relationship did not work out. Annnd she gets chin touchy again ... talk about pathetic.

Veronica and Lic. Espinosa sit down to chat. Lic. Espinosa congratulates Veronica on her bravery and tells her that now it's quite possible that the judge will reconsider his decision. Veronica changes the subject and asks Lic. Espinosa for a favor. Veronica urgently needs some information that has to do with her dear old dad.

Nicolas pathetically asks Salma to let him accompany her. He doesn't care if it is as friends or a as boy toy or whatever as long as he can be with her. Salma doesn't think it can be possible - everyone will misinterpret it. Nicolas asks her to not do this to him, he already had high hopes, and then he mumbled something else that I didn't get .. please help me out here if you can.

Judge is given a report of Marty's conduct in prison. Oh no.

Salma agrees to let Nicolas accompany her and tells him to go and bid his people farewell. She'll only bid Jorge farewell. "What about Virginia?" Nicolas asks. Salma thinks that Virginia will be the first one to do cartwheels be happy with her departure. Oh, she won't be the only one Salma ... trust me ... I know I'm about to do a cartwheel myself.

Manny denies that he stole the gold and Virginia lets him know that she doesn't care if the gold that he was going to sell them was stolen. In fact, she would have preferred that the truth never came to light because now Marty will be a free man. Virginia admits that she wanted to bring down Marty and hurt Veronica in the process. Manny and Virginia realize they both have a mutual hate for Veronica and Marty and Virginia thinks it makes them soulmates. Manny gets excited and asks if this means ... Virginia tells him that she likes people who she has things in common with. She asks for the scoop about him being his grandfather's heir. Manny explains that he is the heir because he was his grandfather's favorite grandson. 

CSI Padre Juan tells Raymunda, Joaquin, Blanquita, and Polo that he is sure that Manny had something to do with Ana Perla's disappearance because Manny has an injured arm and because there was a dropped candle in church and signs of violence. Raymunda doesn't think Manny would be capable of such a thing. Sigh... here we go again ... Padre Juan lets them know that Manny tried to kill Pablo and Ana Perla back when he was chasing after them. He also lets them know that Pablo and Ana Perla got married and that OG forgave Ana Perla.

Things get complicated in the courtroom because the Judge has looked over the report of Marty's conduct and found out that Marty was sent to solitary confinement for his violent conduct. And not only that, but they also found a weapon on him that is now under investigation. Marty states that he was only defending himself. But the Judge admits that knowing what is on the report is heavily weighing down on his decision. Now El Niño Emiliano chimes in and states that Marty has always been a violent person. Just ask his acquaintances and they'll confirm that he is aggressive and dangerous. Die Emiliano. Die. Judge tells Marty that sadly all this is not favoring him. 

My eyes! My eyes! AP has painted her new hovel home an unusual pink and blue combo and I have no idea what she was thinking when she chose these colors, they don't go well together at all. Ah well .. let me cover my eyes and listen to dialogue. As their theme song swells in the background, AP tells herself that she'll start a new life far away from Pablo. She doesn't understand why he broke her heart into a million pieces again. She cries.

Pablo and Mariana have spent the day sightseeing and Pablo decided to go shopping for gifts instead of going to visit the United Nations building. He tells Mariana that he has his reasons for wanting to shop for gifts but the fool fails to tell Mariana that he's expecting a child and is a married man. Mariana hopes that he loved sightseeing and asks him if he would love to live there. He could study art there and she could move some influences and get him an art residency at one of the most important schools in the city. Pablo says thanks, but no thanks, because he'd never leave Ana Perla. Pablo leaves. Mariana thoughbubbles "never say never, we'll see if I don't make you change your mind .." Oy vey.

Back in the courtroom, the Judge has taken Marty's behavior in prison into account and has decided to NOT ... Vero now stands up and interrupts the Judge interceding on behalf of her hubby telling the Judge that while it's true that Marty can be difficult he was probably forced to do what he did. Emi chimes in that Vero is being blinded by love. Shut up Emiliano. Judge states that given that Marty is violent he could become a danger to society. What the h**.... what does that have to do with the fraud case ? ... Lic. Espinoza now chimes in and intercedes on Marty's behalf. Vero tells the Judge that he can't make a verdict relying on conduct since their is evidence exonerates Marty. Judge now asks Vero and Lic. Espinosa to be seated because he'll give his verdict.

Manny and Virginia continue to bond over the mutual hate they feel for San Telmo. Virginia thinks it makes them partners. Manny would have loved to invite Virginia to El Purgartorio the ex-local cantina but it burned down. Virginia asks if there is another place a little more romantic other than some sad cantina. Perhaps an isolated place? Welll, Manny tells her that there is his place and Pierre's hotel. Virginia thinks those places are very daring. Manny doesn't want her to think that he is being sneaky .. well ok maybe he is just being a tad sneaky .. but not that much. Virginia now compliments him on being good on the art of seduction and she agrees to go with him wherever he wants. He tells her that being a tad daring with each other isn't too bad. She asks him to not misinterpret her and tells him that she likes him and feels that she knows him from forever. He tells her that if she thinks that she knows him then wait until she knows him more and she'll be surprised. 

After a somewhat looong silence  ... the Judge gives Marty his freedom. Emiliano huffs and puffs and is forced to leave the courtroom like the sore loser he is along with Jorge. Marty and Veronica embrace. They kiss. The lovebirds will now go on home.

Aaron is not happy to find out that Marty has been released. Apparently, he and his cellmate were planning on setting a trap for Marty that now won't happen. Oh, and the cellmate informs Aaron that all is ready for tonight. But at that moment, they are called for an unexpected revision where the guards find a cellphone under Aaron's pillow and take him down to solitary confinement. Ha! 

Raymunda is OG's grave. Wait a minute ... *frantically searches for the remote control to hit the mute button but remembers that I have to recap this scene so I'll have to take one for the team and mentally prepare myself to listen to the wailing from Raymunda* . OK, where was I .. ? Ah, ok, Raymunda is at OG's graveside and she leaves him some flowers. Raymunda weeps and wants to ask him for forgiveness for not being present at his burial. She explains to OG that because of her stubbornness Polo ran away and the anguish of something happening to Polo unsettled her so much that she never felt time going by. It hurts her to not have been there to give him his last farewell. She weeps and asks for her father's forgiveness. And I must admit that I did feel bad for her here ... and I think that this is a good enough anvil for her past misdeeds ...

Veronica surprises Marty with some flowers and a serenade at their place. Marty loves the surprise and the lovebirds embrace and kiss as the serenade swells in the background. 

Oh snap.. Emiliano finds Nicolas packing his things. Nicolas tells Emiliano that he's leaving but doesn't want to explain. Emiliano insists on an explanation which Nicolas ends up giving him. He asks Emiliano to not judge him and tells him that he's leaving to follow a woman that does not want anything with him but whom he has always been in love with. He tells him that he is talking about Salma. Dun dun dun ...

Salma comes to bid farewell to Jorge. She tells him that she is leaving so he can live in peace without her who has harmed him so much. He tells her that it's not necessary but she tells him that for her it is. She has to be in peace and to think about things. She has to pickup a new path where she does not carry with her so many reproaches. 

Marty and Veronica are now kissing passionately in their marital bed and they tell each other sweet things. 

Jorge asks Salma if she is planning on leaving without bidding farewell to Virginia. Salma thinks it is no use since Virginia can't forgive her either. The two people whom she has loved so much can't give her their pardon and have become her worst judge. Jorge wants Salma to accept that she was mistaken. Salma tells him that he acts as if he has never been mistaken. Which we know he has .. many many many many many times ... She thought that love was more indulgent but she sees that she was mistaken. She wishes him the best. He bids her farewell. But before she leaves, she tells him to watch out for Virginia, and she's not saying it because she rejected her, but because Virginia has been unsettling her for some time now. Having said that, Salma takes her leave. 

And now for  Part 1 of the most stomach turning scene of the night which will be recapped in parts as it occurred on TV. Warning: The following scene may be inappropriate for some people. Viewer / Reader discretion is advised. OK, so Manny and Virginia are happily enjoying some mezcal shots in OG's ex-living room. Virginia is loving the mezcal and Manny tells her that everything Made in Pueblo Nuevo is well done .. and if she doesn't believe him .. well she can take a look at his muscular arms .. Manny now wants to get down to business ... and Virginia now tells him that his bod ain't that bad looking .. and he tells her the same about hers ... she oohs and awes over his muscles and strong hands .. and says that one should feel secure with those muscles .. he tells her that they could try it out if she wants .. and he then pulls her close to him .. blech! 

Meanwhile, Marty and Veronica are making passionate love. Veronica tells Marty that she loves him. She tells him that if one day for some reason they aren't together she would like for life to give her the best of happiness today because she doesn't want to miss him. She would like to find the right words so he can know how she feels about him and she wants to live all that she has ever dreamed of with him. He tells her that they will never be separated. Annnd our lovebirds continue to make passionate love. 

OK, Part 2 of the stomach turning scene ... We are now back to Manny and Virginia where Virginia is clearly uncomfortable being in Manny's muscular arms and having him slobber kisses all over her. Probably because he's getting his slime all over her. Virginia is able to pull away from his grasp and tells him not to go so fast. She tells him that his bod is hot ... NOT .. and he asks her if she wants to see ... she tells him that she shouldn't but what the heck go ahead .. Manny now removes his shirt revealing his abs to her .. and she likes what she sees and after taking a full look at his chest and back she asks him to hug her .. which he does so aggressively that she has to tell him to take it easy .. and now the two start to smooch and slobber all over each other ... and eventually they end up against the wall .. and that's all I can take of this scene .. and luckily Mejia agreed since that was it ... we were spared to witness what happened next ... 

Marty watches as Vero sleeps and tells himself that he loves her so much that he'd go crazy if he were to lose her. 

Annd now for the Ricardo Franco fans ...We find Julio who is missing Ana Perla and hating Pablo ... but who cares about that right now ... because Julio is removing his shirt and about to take off his jeans to do a little skinny dipping .. when Nanci shows up causing him to leave his jeans on ... Nanci tells him that he should not be embarrased by his body .. and we can't argue with that because when you have it you should flaunt it .. Nanci talks about his soul and can see that he suffers for a love that is not his .. she tells him that they are the same .. they're heart was broken .. but Nanci has cured hers ... and he asks her what he can do to cure his heart .. Nanci tells him that he has to find his path... she tells him to listen to what she tells him if he wants to avoid a tragedy. 

Veronica and Magdalena bond as mother and daughter. They talk about fighting and defending the person they love. They eventually get to talking about looking for a place to open the center for abused women. Magdalena will run the place. Scary right .. ?

Manny is now at the table and is nasty to Tomasina who he orders to bring him his food. Raymunda and Joaquin arrive demanding to know where Ana Perla is. Manny denies knowing where Ana Perla is. Raymunda has opened her eyes about Manny and tells him off for not having been at OG's burial. Joaquin knows that Manny has something to do with Ana Perla's disappearance. Manny has had it and kicks them out letting them know that now the house belongs to HIM. Raymunda reminds him that the house belongs to her father and he said that he would leave it to all of them all in equal parts. Manny tells her that OG left the house only to him. 

Veronica, Marty, Magdalena, and Botel are at the table. Botel hands Marty the mold that was taken from them and that has been wrapped in a bandanna to preserve the fingerprints. Marty will have the mold dusted for fingerprints and suspects that it was Manny who took it but the problem is that they don't have Manny's fingerprints to compare it to those found on the mold. Marty thinks there has to be a way to get a hold of Manny's fingerprints. Magdalena is sure Marty will think of a way to get them but asks him to be careful. Doorbell rings. Marty goes to open the door and I gasp as I get get a good look at the sleeves of Marty's shirt which have some plaid fabric ... hmmm .. Marty must have used an old plaid shirt of Botel's to cover a big hole in his shirt sleeves... Anyway, it is Lucia who is at the door. She has been asked to come over. Marty informs her that Ana Perla has vanished.

Raymunda tries to use the "We Are Family" card with Manny. But it doesn't work with Manny because he didn't choose them as his family. He kicks them out. Raymunda tells him that if he did anything to Ana Perla then he'll pay with prison. Raymunda and Joaquin leave and Manny holding the green stick yells that NO ONE threatens Manny Alvarez.

Marty talks to Claudia on the phone and asks her to locate Aldo. Veronica realizes she should have called Aldo before. Perhaps with his help she could have found the gold faster. Ummm yeah. Marty is glad that she didn't because now Aldo can head off to Mina Escondida without raising any suspicion. Lucia tells Marty that she lost her job and Marty being the hero of the show fixes the problem ASAP by giving her a job as Claudia's assistant. He's sure that Lucia and Claudia will get along just fine. Lucia thanks him. He promises her that he'll find Ana Perla. For now, he'll talk with Manny. 

Manny and Virginia are outside somewhere in the village and laughing. He pulls her close to him but she asks him to let her go so no one sees them. They now talk about their encounter the night before and how she made him feel so much. He tells her that he's a real man .. and that's all I'm going to recap from that conversation. Moving on with the scene, Virginia now sees Nanci passing by and accuses her of having caused her so much problems for being such a blabbermouth. Nanci tells her that she is not afraid of her and says she only talked with the truth. Nanci tells her that it's bad luck for both Virginia and Manny to be together. Virginia tells her to shut it. 

Veronica, Marty, Botel, Jorge, and Emiliano return from taking a look at the REAL gold. Marty tells Jorge that he has always been a man of his word in business. Veronica tells Jorge that it saddens her that he did not give them the chance to investigate what had happened to the gold. Emiliano speaks up and tells Veronica that either way she betrayed them. Lucia now comes in with some documents for Veronica that have been delivered by Lic. Espinosa. Veronica tells Emiliano and Jorge that she'll show them that she did not send the email and that there is someone else who is betraying them. Veronica tells them that the email was sent from her computer at the same time that she was visiting her dad in prison where cellphones and other devices aren't allowed and she can prove it with the documents she has in her hands which she hands to Jorge. She tells Emiliano and Jorge to not even think that Marty could have sent the email since their is no security footage of him entering the offices. She then tells them that it hurts her that they doubted her and she reminds Jorge that he told her that he was disappointed in her. Wellll, she's disappointed in him now. She tells him that she never cared about his money. She only cared that he knew how grateful she was to him. She also wanted him to know about the affection she feels for him. She tells Jorge and Emiliano that they once doubted her and they did it again. She says that she doesn't think family does that.

AVANCES: Death threats and confessions. Annnd we are in Ultimos Capitulos.

Wow .. we have entered Ultimos Capitulos. We don't have that much left.

Overall this was a nice episode (despite Manny and Virginia bonding) and we had some very nice moments.

I'm glad that Marty is now a free man and that Aaron didn't get a chance to do whatever it was that he had planned to do to him. Also, it's awesome that now he won't be getting the money that he asked from Vero to keep Marty alive. Ha!

Nanci is back and her heart has been cured. Yay! Hopefully, this means that she won't be chasing after Marty.

Fingers crossed that Aldo is able to get Manny's fingerprints so they can link him to being the one that stole the mold from La Morenita.

Great ending with Veronica telling Jorge and Emiliano how disappointed she is in them for having doubted her yet again.
 

So sorry you had to recap such a gross episode Mauricio, but you did a great job! I agreed with all of your asides and comments. I cringed when idiot Pablo said he had "his own reasons" to shop. He is purposely withholding information for his own benefit and it's disgusting.
That was some bad writing having the judge consider not releasing Marty due to his behavior! That had nothing to do with the charges, I was relieved he was freed.

Loved: "Magdalena will run the place. Scary, right?" Yes indeed.

Random question, why was the bed in the main room of the San Telmo home? I thought the stairs lead to the bedrooms? Perhaps since we're in ultimas semanas continuity had been thrown out the window.

 

One of your finest, Mauricio. The worse this gets, the more inspired you become. Thanks for recapping this because I am totally going to skip the whole thing! Meija monkey writing gives me heartburn.

Agree that Ana Perla needs to pray for an infusion of brain cells for her progeny. Laughed at your "cartwheels" comment and howled as you wrote you were frantically searching for the mute button before you remembered you had to recap Raymunda's words. Yesssss, the women in that family are prodigious criers.

And loved how you presented the Virginia/Manual coupling. Up against the wall indeed. Not in front of the children please!

And the last gem "Magdalena will run the place." Perfect. Women and children will be kidnapped, mayhem will abound and Maggie will weep and whine some more. Works for me.

Thanks Mauricio...love to start my Saturday mornings laughing and the morning newspaper sure won't do it.
 

GREAT---SUPER GREAT Mauricio. Saturday, a busy day---more later.

the gringo
 

Thanks Mauricio for the great recap!! Very detailed and I loved reading it.

I am so glad Martin came out of jail...it was quite sad that he had to be in jail especially with Aaron. Good that Vero spoke her mind to Jorge and Emi. I hope she gives them a very hard time. They should have listened to Martin and Vero before accusing them.

I dont understand why Vero isnt wearing her wedding ring. They are clearly back together so why the delay.

Manuel and Virginia have now joined forces. Not looking good!

Lily - about the bed. Martin has two beds, one upstairs and the other one in the living room.
 

Mauricio, love your recap baby, it is funny and snarky, I like. Magda will run the center
For abused women, "scarey right?.... hahaha
Yes cause somebody was murdered on her watch and another one got away from her &
Her doctor hubby who swore to protect, haha
These people are hilarious. now there's nothing funny about not protecting abused women but these people on this TN. oh my gosh. would you want to be in a shelter while Magna is running it :-D LOL!!! THE WAY YOU PUT WAS REALLY FUNNY, "scarey right?...Im still laughing.
"MARTY WATCHES VERO WHILE SHE SLEEPS, AND TELLS HIMSELF HE LOVES HER SO MUCH THAT HE'D GO CRAZY IF HE
LOSED HER". Yall we all know how CRAZY he
Is, for various reasons.
I'm glad that lucia has a job as asisstance
To claudia, she can take her shopping yaaah.
Yall know thats something claudia would do.
she not only wants to look good herself she wants people around her to look good. The alvarez family WOW!!!! I have Not Laughed like this in a while.

Thank you
Sweet Mauricio♡♥♡♥♡♥:-)

 

Thank you so much, Mauricio, for your stellar recap! Haven't seen the episode yet...very busy weekend...but feel like I can relax when I do watch it thanks to you and some really great outcomes; namely, Marty is free, Vero told off Emi and Jorge, and Salma is away from Jorge (he who never makes mistakes, jajaja).

Gracias!

 

Thank you, Lily

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap. I had lot of fun writing it.

"That was some bad writing having the judge consider not releasing Marty due to his behavior! That had nothing to do with the charges, I was relieved he was freed."

I'm sure the monkey writers were behind that one. I couldn't believe that the Judge was about keep Marty locked up due to his behavior when he had evidence in his hand that proved his innocence. Glad that Veronica spoke up and defended Marty.

"Random question, why was the bed in the main room of the San Telmo home? I thought the stairs lead to the bedrooms? Perhaps since we're in ultimas semanas continuity had been thrown out the window."

I was wondering the same thing about the location about the bed. It doesn't make sense that it would be downstairs and in plain site of any visitors especially since there is a staircase leading to where a bedroom should be at.

Thank you, JudyB.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap.

"And loved how you presented the Virginia/Manual coupling. Up against the wall indeed. Not in front of the children please!"

Thank you. I wasn't sure how to write about their scenes together. It made me sick watching them going at it. I'm so glad it stopped where it did.

I'm surprised that no one walked in on them since they were right there in the living room in plain sight.

Women and children will be kidnapped, mayhem will abound and Maggie will weep and whine some more. Works for me."

Yes, I can see that happening.

Thank you, gringo

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap. Looking forward to reading your comments
 

Thank you, Duchess.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap.

"Good that Vero spoke her mind to Jorge and Emi. I hope she gives them a very hard time. They should have listened to Martin and Vero before accusing them."

I hope she gives them a hard tme too. They are so quick to judge and doubt her and if Marty had to go through a hard time getting her forgiveness then they should as well. I liked how she told Jorge that she was disappointed in him.

"I dont understand why Vero isnt wearing her wedding ring. They are clearly back together so why the delay."

I'm sure it's just sloppy directing. They must have forgotten to have her wear her wedding ring again.

"Lily - about the bed. Martin has two beds, one upstairs and the other one in the living room."

Ah, so there is a bed upstairs too. Thank you for the info on that.

Thank you, Nina.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap.

"Magda will run the center For abused women, "scarey right?.... hahaha Yes cause somebody was murdered on her watch and another one got away from her & Her doctor hubby who swore to protect, haha"

Hahaha. Yes! She definitely cannot be trusuted with being in charge of anything. The same goes for Botel. I wonder what Pablo will say when he finds out that Ana Perla has vanished. That is if he does find out about it. Knowing how the writing is going lately I can totally see no one telling him about it.

Thank you, Mari.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap. I hope that you enjoy the episode also.

"Salma is away from Jorge (he who never makes mistakes, jajaja)."

Yes! I liked how she pointed that "he acts as if he has never made a mistake".
 

Just a few thoughts right now---Yes Mauricio, you gave us patio peeps a REALLY GREAT
weekend recap of Friday's happenings.

I do have a different take than you on one part however. You said that you didn't like the Manny, V-snake intimacy scene. I find Manny and the viper just as disgusting as you do but early on just as the scene was starting, I was thinking that those two belong together. Then as things started getting hot and heavy, my thought was---let them go ahead and have some fun. They won't live long anyway.

No one at Grandpa Goat's burial? Wow, What happened to all the people that came to the church to view the casket?

Everyone thinks that it is ridiculous and poor writing by the monkey writers or maybe Mejia. The judge is going to consider Martin's behavior while in prison along with the charges of the case. It's so very simple A+B=C. or 1+2=3 Right? WRONG! A judge can do or consider anything that he wants---HE"S THE JUDJE and what he says goes. Here in So. Cal. A man was convicted and was up for sentencing. The law said that a mandatory 25 years had to be given but the judge overruled the mandatory sentence---he didn't like it and gave out a 10 year sentence instead. The people here are outraged but unless the judge is recalled, the 10 years will stand. Also, a judge can overrule a jury's decision if he sees fit. And so if the Judge chooses to consider other things about Martin and his case, he can. Remember, he's the judge
Is the patio going to tell the judge what he can and can't rule on? I think not.

the gringo

 

Thanks Mauricio, excellent recap.

I always thought that the stairs of Martín's apartment lead to the construction company, because many times before a scene from both places they used to show the same building. Or perhaps the production staff don't even thought about where they were going to lead (decoration in telenovelas is pretty much an illogical thing)

About the main bed, has been always in the same place from the beginning.

 

Hi gringo.

"I was thinking that those two belong together. Then as things started getting hot and heavy, my thought was---let them go ahead and have some fun. They won't live long anyway."

Good point. They were made for each other and do have a lot in common. I suppose it was only a matter of time before they got together and what better moment for them to be together than now that we are so close to the end. I can totally see them wrecking havoc and terrozing everyone in these last few weeks of the show.

Thank you for the legal information. I'm glad the Judge reconsidered and gave Marty his freedom. It would have been unfair to keep him locked up based on conduct but there are a lot of unfair judges out there.
 

Thank you tquir.

I am glad that you enjoyed the recap.

"I always thought that the stairs of Martín's apartment lead to the construction company, because many times before a scene from both places they used to show the same building. Or perhaps the production staff don't even thought about where they were going to lead (decoration in telenovelas is pretty much an illogical thing)"

Great observation. I hadn't noticed that before. It must be a mistake by the production staff who is in charge of showing the exterior shots of buildings, houses, etc.

Thank you for the info on the bed. It is such an odd place for a bed, no? What were the set people in the production thinking?
 

Thanks for another most excellent recap, Mauricio. You are so good at presenting each episode that you recap in a consistently entertaining and informative fashion. We are so fortunate to have you as a guide through these often murky and confusing proceedings.

While I fully understand the disdain that many here have for Virginia, I think that the extreme negativity toward Salma is largely undeserved. I keep recalling that sweet and apparently loving scene between her and Jorge that kicked this whole thing off in the first episode. So what has she actually done to earn our disrespect? She has withheld Virginia's origins from Jorge (as well as from us) and showed preference for Virginia over Verónica. As best as I can recall, that's pretty much it. On the other hand, Jorge has proved himself to be a self-righteous cold fish. I like Salma and think that she is a very beautiful woman and think that the snide comments about her possibly surgically enhanced appearance are unfair if not totally inaccurate.

Carlos
 

Salma is unfairly biased against Veronica and has been since she was a child, that's why people are against her. Salma is against Veronica because Veronica cuts into the money she was planning for Virginia (remember, Virginia was adopted first).

It's not unreasonable to think that Salma is the one who poisoned Virginia against Veronica in the first place.

All of Salma's actions on this show have been designed to get rid of Veronica and separate Veronica from Jorge & Emiliano.

When Jorge investigated Salma's background and discovered she was Virginia's birth mother, he finally understood why Salma wanted to get rid of Veronica ...because she wanted it all for Virginia.

But now Salma is realizing that Veronica may have been right about Virginia all along.

At this point, Jorge has no room to talk about Salma because he, too, is trying to get rid of Veronica. It will be ironic if SALMA is the one who puts Jorge & Veronica back together.

 

Three things this morning---Carlos, I really don't know about Selma's possibly surgically enhanced appearance and so I have never commented on that. However, for her age, she really does look great. We all should look that good as we age.
The other half of your comment is well taken. The worst that Selma has done is as you have said is to keep her daughters origins hidden. I add, also not being very nice to Veronica. Both however are not criminal offences.

I noticed the expressions on both Jorge and Emi's faces when the new last minute evidence was presented. Emi looked angry that Marty along with Vero could actually be innocent and not involved in any way with the swindle. Jorge on the other hand looked to me anyway, like his brain was spinning like a little hamster running on a spinning wheel.

More on the judge---In Orange County California a judge decided to disobey a mandatory law and make up his own while issuing a sentence. The case was a very bad one and the people were outraged at the relative light sentence that the judge handed out. A recall of the judge is now being worked on. An interesting thing is that the judges union, coalition or whatever it is called rose up to support the embattled judge. How dare the people question a judges decision to disobey a mandatory law and rule the way that he sees fit.-----Is it any different in Mexico?
I doubt it. A judge has tremendous power and can make his decision based on anything
that he wants to make it on, whether relevant to the case or not. Is it right? No, but he/she is the judge and that's the way it is. End of story.

Another winning recap of a not that promising episode – excellent work, my friend! Thank you!

You had lots of great lines and turns of phrase, many already cited by others ("she secretly hopes her baby will have a brain," Mariana "gets a little chin touchy" with Pablo, "CSI Padre Juan.")

Your struggle to force yourself to watch Raymunda emote at the OG's grave was a hoot (and one I can easily relate to).

I loved the little role reversal thing that continues for Vero: After her heroic race to present the exonerating evidence (and instruct the judge on a point of law!), she rescues our hero; then she sends him roses and a mariachi serenata and chooses the perfect song: Si nos dejan, nos vamos a querer toda la vida (If they let us, we'll love each other all our lives)

There are lots of versions of this one, but for old times sake:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngOFBDuwhoM

Manny and Ginny – I guess it was inevitable. Now we just wait for them to turn on each other. (And how funny to hear Manny lament the loss of El Purgatorio.)

I wonder if Lucía will tell the gang where Pablo is, and if so, if Pablo will rush back to Mexico to search for his moronic little media naranja... because honestly, if any two people belong together and deserve each other, it's Pablo and Ana Perla.

I don't feel strongly about Salma's departure, but I hope it doesn't mean we won't get the full story about Virginia's origins.

Thanks again, Mauricio. You truly have a gift for this!
 

About Nanciyaga –

So the soulwash did its job, I guess. Nanciyaga is not only healed, she has gone forth to heal others who are still afflicted. Will her words affect up-to-now churlish Julio? (Not to mention churlish Emi!)
 

And I was wrong about Pablo's miracle cure! Apparently he is planning to produce more of his amazing work for the New York gallery, not merely exhibit his earlier work.
 

Thank you Carlos.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap.

I'm not really a fan of Salma. She has always come off as being cold to me. Her treatment of Matilde and Veronica have always bugged me since she never really had a reason to dislike them other than that she wanted to be on Virginia's side.

I do think that Salma can be redeemed because she like Raymunda have both behaved similarily. It'll be interesting to see what the writers do with Salma's character and if she and Nicolas do end up together.

Hi gringo.

Yes. Emi was very upset that Marty had been given his freedom. I think that at least with him the real reasons he had to keep Marty locked up was not because he thought that Marty had cheated the family company, but that he was getting back at Marty for taking Veronica away from him.
 

I guess his hand healed or he is using his
Other hand, I wish he'd use the other side of
His brain and tell that heffa he's married and
Has a baby on the way, cause that magnet in his chin keeps drawing her hand up to it. I do
Really hope that baby has a brain that really
Actually works. Mommy and daddy seems to be lacking in that department. Or maybe they
Are just stupidly happy.
 

Hi NovelaMaven.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the recap.

Thank you for the to "Si Nos Dejan". I love that song. It was with that novela "La Hija Del Mariachi" that I became a fan of the rancheras. Have you seen the novela?

I hope that Lucia does tell them where Pablo is and the reasons he had to leave with Mariana. I also hope that Lucia will tell Pablo that Ana Perla has vanished and that he'll come on home and rescue her from the clutches of her new boss.

I hope that Nanci's words will have some effect on Julio and that he will finally decide to move on with his life.

Pablo's miraculously recovery of his hand is like the miraculously recovery he had after being beaten to a pulp by Manny and minutes later being able to walk over to the Hoyle and take a shower then the next day ride on that horse to rescue AP from the arranged marriage to Julio.
 

** Thank you for the link to "Si Nos Dejan".
** walk over to the hotel.
 

Mauricio,

"It was with that novela "La Hija Del Mariachi" that I became a fan of the rancheras. Have you seen the novela? "

Yes!!! It is my favorite novela of all time! I think I could watch it on continuous loop!
 

"I guess his hand healed or he is using his
Other hand, I wish he'd use the other side of
His brain...
"

hehehehe Me too, Nina!
 

Hi Nina.

Hahahaha! Yes. Pablo does need to use that other side of his brain and be clear with Mariana about his marital and father status. He made the same mistake of not being clear once before and it caused so much problems. He does not learn from his mistakes at all.

NovelaMaven

It was a beautiful novela. Filled with romance and beautiful music. It was also very well written.
 

I'm in awe of Marty wanting to end unemployment in Mexico City. There he is handing off jobs to everyone as if they were free samples at the market. 😃
 

I think Julio is a pretty decent guy if he can just stay away from maniac Manny, and maybe somebody could teach him how to read like that really nice school teacher and maybe they could give it a go.they look pretty good together, and then he can get his life started and forget about ana perla because that ship has sailed and it is in troubled waters. the writers need to get those freaky monkeys out of there and get back to those typewriters and write a decent ending for these two people (Pablo & ana perla).
 

Nina

Veronica was supposed to teach Julio how to read and write but the writers seemed to have dropped that storyline. I liked Julio in the beginning but I think that his character (like Nanci's) went downhill when he refused to accept that Ana Perla loved Pablo.
 

Carlos -

I'm liking Salma a lot right now. Just saw the episode and think she made sense in what she was saying to Jorge ,and it was genuine. Genuine also her conversation with Nicolas. She is a beautiful woman, and for me she's becoming a very strong, interesting one who can express her deep feelings and move on, looking for something better for herself. As for the plastic surgery issue, what does that have to do with anything? I completely "fast forward" when reading any of that stuff.

Mauricio -

"I'm in awe of Marty wanting to end unemployment in Mexico City. There he is handing off jobs to everyone..."

So am I. Like his generous spirit and glad he has the ability to help people and chooses to do so.


 

Mauricio,
Thanks for the gem of a recap that you gave us. You always seem to amaze me with your entertaining, detailed, funny and snarky recaps.

I will say that I felt bad that you had to force yourself to watch those stomach turning scenes. Thanks for taking one for the team. I just hope the writers are done showing us how close Manny and Ginny have become.

Sure glad that Marty is out of jail. I did not like what Vero said when they were in bed together. She said something like if they were ever apart for him not to forget how much she loves him. Since we still have about 3 weeks left I don't like the sound of that. What are the monkey writers going to throw our way now.

I think I may have to start FF through the AP scenes. I am tired of her whining about Pablo. I can only give her credit for actually leaving Mina Escondida. Besides that she needs to get a clue.

I always remember Marty having a bed downstairs in his apartment. I think it was designed that way because it's more like a loft/bachelor pad. There is a semi-divider between the living area and bed.
tquir, ITA about the building mix-up. I noticed it too. The exterior building they are using now to show Marty's apartment is the same exterior they used to show for his offices.

Duchess, I asked the exact same question the other day about Vero's wedding ring. I have been keeping tabs on it and she has not been wearing it. She knows that Marty has it and is wearing it on a chain. He told her he would give it to her when she was ready to wear it, or when she asked for it, or something like that. I have not liked that she is not wearing it.

Thanks again Mauricio for the excellent work.
Hasta Pronto!
 

I think that after all the crappy stuff is over and everything is going well, you know rounded up and settled down they're going to renew their wedding vowels because the first time they got married he was deceiving her he was out for revenge so there was no real commitment, so he'll probably put the Rings back on the finger when they do the wedding vowels again at the end when everything's good and everybody's happy. they should let pharrells happy song be their wedding theme song because these people on this tn were miserable during the whole time It was on, and now everybody will be happy.
 

Hi Mari.

"So am I. Like his generous spirit and glad he has the ability to help people and chooses to do so."

Me too. It's nice to see him trying to help others with their problems.

I just hope Lucia and Pablo do a good job. Lucia, maybe. Not so sure about Pablo. Since he knows nothing about construction. I suppose he'll take over Alfredo's job .. ?

Hi AuntyAnn.

I'm glad you enjoyed the recap.

"I just hope the writers are done showing us how close Manny and Ginny have become."

Me too. We don't need to see that again.

"I did not like what Vero said when they were in bed together. She said something like if they were ever apart for him not to forget how much she loves him. Since we still have about 3 weeks left I don't like the sound of that. What are the monkey writers going to throw our way now."

I also didn't like the sound of it. I can totally see one last breakup occuring before the gran finale (Speculation - not a spoiler).

"I always remember Marty having a bed downstairs in his apartment. I think it was designed that way because it's more like a loft/bachelor pad. There is a semi-divider between the living area and bed."

Good point. I hadn't thought about it like that.

Hi Nina.

"I think that after all the crappy stuff is over and everything is going well, you know rounded up and settled down they're going to renew their wedding vowels because the first time they got married he was deceiving her he was out for revenge so there was no real commitment, so he'll probably put the Rings back on the finger when they do the wedding vowels again at the end when everything's good and everybody's happy."

I agree. For sure we will have a vow renewal at the end (NOT A SPOILER) so we can end the show with a nice wedding and everyone being happy.
 

They should invite pharrell to sing the happy
Song. I told yall they need a happy song at
That wedding it'd be cool if it was pharrell, but he's on "the Voice", no time.
 

How I would write the final:

Pablo rescues Ana Perla from mean apartment lady. He agrees to take her back to Mina Escondida to be with her family.

Mariana finds out from Pablo's mom that Pablo & Ana Perla are married & expecting. She confronts them. Ana Perla cries. Mariana tells Pablo he can forget any future in art if he doesn't leave Ana Perla right now and come with her. Ana Perla cries and runs away. Pablo tells Mariana to do what she has to do, but he's staying with AP & their child and runs off to find Ana Perla. Mariana fumes and storms away.

Marty & Botel go with Pablo & Ana Perla back to ME so they can check on the mine and so that Ana Perla can be close to her family. Marty asks Magdalena to take care of Veronica.

Aaron busts out of jail (with Virginia's help) and kidnaps Maggie & Veronica.

Jorge gets a call from Aaron that he's kidnapped Veronica and he wants eleventy billion dollars in the next 24 hours or Veronica is a goner. Jorge looks confused.

Salma is packing to leave and decides to look over the furnishings in the house. She finds the picture of Dim & Ginny that Matilde hid and realizes everything Veronica's been saying about Virginia is true. She confronts Virginia & tells her she should've listened to Veronica all along & not shunned her. Virginia tells her to get out & she hates her. Jorge busts in & tells Salma about Veronica's kidnapping. Virginia clutches her chest & both Salma & Jorge tell her to stop faking. Virginia vows revenge.

Jorge calls Marty & tells him Aaron busted out of jail & kidnapped Veronica & Maggie and that he wants a ransom.

(part 1)
 

(part 2)

Aaron has made his way to Mina Escondida with Veronica & Maggie. Marty is beside himself in grief & vows to kill Aaron. Aaron calls Marty and tells him that he & Botel are to give him all the gold in La Morenita within the next 24 hours or Veronica & Maggie are dead!

Claudia decides to go to Mina Escondida to comfort Marty in his time of need. Jorge, Salma & Emiliano decide to go to ME to assist Marty. Virginia & Dr. Daniel also decide to go to ME.

Aaron calls Virginia & asks her to have a chopper waiting in ME in exchange for some of the gold. She makes the call.

Aaron calls Marty & tells him to deliver the gold to the top of the cliff where the waterfall is or else. Marty tells Jorge, Salma & Emiliano what Aaron's demands are. Emiliano tells Marty that he will put his dislike for him aside, to save Veronica. They get to work on preparing the gold.

Marty, Emiliano, Botel & Jorge go to the meeting place on top of the cliff. Aaron has Veronica and Maggie tied up at the edge of the cliff. Marty & the gang deliver the gold, then Aaron pistol whips Maggie and says Sorry Sucka and fires the gun in Marty's direction. It misses and hits Jorge instead. Botel & Emiliano charge Aaron and Aaron shoots Veronica! Then Marty busts a cap in Aaron's ass and Aaron stumbles towards the cliff and falls off but taking Veronica with him.

Meanwhile Manny hops in the copter with the gold and orders the pilot to take off at gunpoint. Manny is playing with his gun and it accidentally fires, taking the chopper down in a fiery explosion. RIP Manny.

The gang heads to Pierre's hotel. Marty, Jorge & Emiliano are grief stricken. Claudia pops up for "support." Claudia lines, Pierre lines. The miners have been looking, they can't find Veronica's body. They vow to keep looking. Marty is destroyed.

 

(part 3)

6 months later, they have decided to declare Veronica dead; they will have a memorial service. Marty is still destroyed; Claudia is still there for support.

Salma stayed to take care of Jorge (he wasn't hurt too badly) until he recovered, but now it's time for her to leave. She checks her email and sees an attachment. She clicks on the attachment & it's the video of Virginia in bed with Dr. Daniel plotting to get rid of the Prado Castelos including Salma, so she could have it all. Salma feels like a fool believing in Virginia and guilty for how she treated Veronica.

At the memorial service, Marty, Emiliano & Jorge are destroyed. Maggie & Botel are destroyed. Ana Perla is about to give birth; she and Pablo are destroyed. Pablo can't get any work selling his art in New York, nobody will return his calls and so he has been working in Marty's construction office. Even Claudia sees how much Marty loved Veronica.

Salma comes in and sits next to Jorge & Emiliano. Dr. Dan is sitting in the back. Monserrat & Mariana are also in the back and so is Nicolas.

Virginia comes in, crying crocodile tears about how she loved her dear prima Veronica and it's SOOOO sad BOO HOO HOOOO. Jorge comforts Virginia & calls her hija; Emiliano hugs her too. Just then Salma jumps up and tells Virginia to STOP IT! Virginia never loved Veronica, Virginia HATED Veronica and hated the rest of them too!

Everyone is in shock, Virginia protests, Dr. Dan in the back eating popcorn & enjoying the show.

Salma whips out the picture of Demetrio & Virginia embracing and shows everyone the video of Virginia & Dr. Daniel in bed plotting to get rid of the Prado Castelos so she could have it all! Emi & Marty angrily confront Virginia; Jorge tells Virginia to leave the Prado Castelos and never darken their door ever again.

"And Virginia killed Matilde, too! I have the proof!" says Veronica from the back of the chapel, aided by Nanciyaga!

Everyone is shocked; Marty runs over to Veronica & they embrace. Emiliano goes in for his embrace too but Nanciyaga holds him back & tells him that White Woman is not for him; White Woman is destined for Patron. Emiliano looks at the happy couple sadly, finally realizing he has lost. Claudia looks at Marty/Veronica too, knowing she too has lost.

Virginia starts screaming at the Prado Castelos about how much she hated them all, especially Veronica and she wishes they would all die! Veronica tells her to enjoy her last bits of freedom because the Po Po are on their way to take Virginia for killing Matilde and also orchestrating the fraud on Prado Castelo Jewelers.

Virginia feels faint and clutches her chest; Jorge tells her to stop faking. Virginia crumples down on the ground saying she's having a heart attack; Emiliano tells her to stop faking. Dr. Daniel realizes Virgina is NOT faking and slips out of the chapel. Veronica & Botel realize Virginia isn't faking and Botel applies CPR but it is too late; Virginia is dead. Everyone is shocked. Salma cries for her hija. Nicolas is there to offer his support

 

(part 4)

3 months later, everyone has gathered for a celebration. Botel & Magdalena are getting married, with Veronica & Marty as padrinos.

At the reception, Veronica asks for her ring back; Marty happily gives it to her & promises to be with her forever and ever. She pats her belly and says "WE'LL be together forever and ever."

Ana Perla & Pablo had their baby; it's a girl named Ana Crescencio. They live in Grumps' house. Emiliano offered Pablo a job designing jewelry and he accepted.

The rest of the Goat Family is there; they are in town in part to send Blanquita off to nursing school.

Pierre & Claudia have decided to give it a try one more time.

Mariana & Julio catch each others' eye.

Jorge & Salma have decided to reconcile; Montserrat catches Nicolas' eye.

Emiliano is not there. He is in Mina Escondida with Nanciyaga. He has decided to stay to study pre-Hispanic art with Nanciyaga. He will work in a creative role with Prado Castelo.

Veronica has accepted the General Manager position that Emiliano once had. She thanks her padre Jorge and he is happy that she has finally forgiven him. Salma is happy that Veronica has forgiven her too.

Everyone is happy. FIN.
 

Anon207,
WOW! You need to go work for Televisa and take over for the monkey writers. That was a great way to end this story. The cliff idea was good. It would include a lot of great scenery. One question, was Arturo at the wedding with Blanquita?

Hasta Pronto
 

Yes and Medel was bar tending the reception! LOL
 

Hey Anon207

I like the ending, loved that part where nanci
Is helpin veronica into the church. She must
Have nursed her back to health those six months she was missing after the fall. Only
One thing, I wish ginny's heart condition was
Fake, that way she"d have to spend many many years in prison knowing that she has
Nothing, and the people she tried to destroy
Have it all.

~~~~~An alternate ending if I may~~~~~

And she falls asleep in her 8×10 CELL, AND SHE dreams of Demtrio and Matilda, and they tell her" LOOK WHERE YOUR GREED HAS BROUGHT YOU". And she starts to scream, waking her cellmates, who threatenTo kill her at first light. FIN♣
 

Hi Anon207.

Wow! That was a great way to end the show. Thanks for sharing!
