Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #31 Tue 10/6/15 (Mex 41-42) Flashback central
Well, goodness…at night…in the stable…with a gorgeous horse and a gorgeous guy…in the lantern light…Fi just doesn't know what to say. Anybody want to help a girl out here? Anyone? Beuller? She's spared from coming up with an answer by the sound of her electronic leash. Seriously? Who brings their fiancé-given cell phone to a tryst in the stables? Pedro begs her to say she doesn't love him and HANG UP. I'm with Pedro! Of course, she lies and Vito forcefully confirms their "date" tomorrow to visit Julieta at the hospital. And tells her it's time for good little girls to be in bed. Also he wants to buy her dresses. Gross. She finally gets off the phone and Pedro keeps testing her resolve, but nooooo…she made a promise. I make a rude hand gesture. Gianna comes to find Pedro--Gael needs him.
In Gael's bedroom, Gianna has ratted him out and gets in a good scolding before Pedro gets his turn. Gael can swear up and down that it's never going to happen again, but it doesn't work that way. We're calling in the pros tomorrow. Gael agrees and thanks Pedro for giving a crap about him, unlike everybody else in this poor excuse for a family. He asks how Pedro's doing and Pedro demonstrates his excellent recovery from the gunshot wound. Gianna peeks in and smiles at the cousin moment.
[HISTORY ALERT] Fed meets with her lawyer. Who used to be Gabriel's lawyer and trusted confidant. He has reviewed the paperwork and it says that Maximo and Gabriel were business partners and Gabriel put all his properties, including his half of Rancho Los Angeles, into the partnership. But he is certain that the signature on those papers is NOT Gabriel's. "I knew it! They robbed mah daddy!" He agrees with Fed's, but he says the paperwork is useless. An old piece of paperwork with a faked signature isn't going to do it. He needs the original paperwork and something mumbled that details what assets belonged to Gabriel. Fed swears she'll tear up the house and find them.
[LLAMADA DE LA SANGRE ALERT] Julieta is restless, dreaming of a little girl crying not to leave her. Fiorella wakes her up and in her anguish, Julieta rips off her bandages. The first thing she sees is Fi's blurry face. She's so thrilled they hug. Fi calls it a miracle, but at her "tutto bene" Julieta goes cold again and tells her to go get the doctor. As Fi leaves, Julieta wonders if "it" could be possible….
Gael's psychologist is kinda on the young, pretty side. She's trying to get him to tell her how he started using drugs. He's not a fan of her direct approach.
Rox is sliming on Benito. Then she starts spewing venom. He's tired of the way she talks to him. "If you want to play, I make the rules." And those apparently include sucking face in the middle of the woods.
Sonia's pregnancy is confirmed by a doctor at the houspital. He tells her to get rest and good food and chill out. She needs to take vitamins and folic acid and come back in a month.
[HISTORY ALERT] Gael shares a childhood memory of Osvaldo shooting a bow and his father being proud. Then he pressured Gael into trying. His mom tries to reassure him that he didn't have to if he didn't want to. Meanwhile his dad just kept screaming at him. Finally, Gael completely misses the target and his dad calls him useless and good for nothing. "You're not my son! No pareces mi hijo! No pareces un Angeles!" This is a little iffy…he could mean that literally Gael isn't his son, or he could mean "It's impossible for you to be my son because you're nothing like me." (parecer = to appear, to seem)
Sonia and Osvaldo run into each other just as Julieta and Sergio exit Julieta's hospital room. Osvaldo's pissed that Sonia didn't inform him of her movements. I say that's lazy controlling-husbanding. The dudes who are really committed hire someone to follow their wives everywhere. Or check the GPS on their cell phones.
[HISTORY ALERT] Pedro's mom mixes booze and pills. A LOT of pills.
Fi finds him hanging out crying in the sweetest little playground. There's a little playhouse with pink trim! Forget Pedro, Fi, check out the house! What? You know it's going to end badly anyway. *sigh* OK…Pedro's defensive, Fi's guilty, Julieta can see again, Pedro's fake-happy. He just doesn't want to live without her because of some stupid promise she made. Fi basically makes a case for why it was a stupid promise and now that she's thought about it for the five millionth time, she's ready to be all in. She loves him, he loves her…now quit talking and snog 'ya crazy kids! [SNOGGING ALERT] Oh, do we care why she changed her mind? Uh, she realized their love was worth more than anything else in the world. OK. I'll take it. I could kick Pedro for saying they have to think about what to do. That never ends well. Don't think--just run to a JPs office! Instead, Fi's going to go tell Vito and Pedro's going to *think* about what to tell the family. They go running past the pretty pink playhouse and end up at a swing on a hill overlooking the playground. [HISTORY ALERT] They start talking about Pedro's mom. She had emotional problems. She was always sad and always taking pills. One day she took too many, with booze, and she died. He doesn't know if it was an accident or suicide. He'd rather think it was an accident. Fi makes the connection to Tania. He told her because he wants her to know everything about him. Fi also lost her mom…she was sick and her dad took care of her and Gianna by himself for years. There goes Pedro's electronic leash. Eloisa's Unsuitable Woman alert went off so she decided to call and summon him. He and Fi giddily smooch while he's listening to her. They get a few more kisses in and then Pedro gives her a piggyback ride back to the house.
Eloisa's with Aitana. She's ready to declare failure. She cooked one of Pedro's mom's recipes and he got upset. Well, duh! Eloisa has a plan she's sure will work.
Eloisa gives Pedro the news he already knew about Julieta. She wants to throw a big party. Pedro's into it. But, uh, what is it Eloisa wants him to do? Cook with Aitana. Aitana giddily says it'll be like old times. From what I've seen of Aitana, I'm going to need to see some video evidence. In fact, I'd like some corroboration from someone outside this family that she and Pedro actually dated, because every time she talks about their past, Pedro keeps giving her these "WTF?" looks. Like she's misremembering and all her stories are about the ex BEFORE Pedro. Or maybe she's not really Aitana…she's Aitana's evil twin, Aitonta, and that's why she hasn't a clue about Pedro. Eloisa wheedles and Pedro caves. She notes his grouchy face.
[LDLS/HISTORY ALERT] Julieta is back in the house. Still suspicious of Fi. Sergio tries to talk her up. Julieta feels like she knows Fi from before…before she got there. "But she was in Italy." Well, after a few days without seeing, she's been remembering her old flame in Italy. It was intense. A guy from a VERY rich family--Orsini. Sergio jokes he'll make her forget Orsini or tortellini or whatever other Italians come to her mind.
[HISTORY ALERT] Joaquina gets personal with Fi. She also had a thing with a rich guy, and it was mutual, but family and class differences were stronger than their love. It's a sad painful story. All these stories are.
[VAGUE BUT POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT INFO ALERT] Rox and Benito walk through Dos Rios. It feels familiar to her. She likes to go there when she needs peace.
[RECAPPER PET PEEVE ALERT] The psychologist flunks her practical final in ethics and tells Eloisa about Gael's childhood trauma and feeling close to his mother, but afraid of his father. He feels disconnected to the family in general. Just skip to the next paragraph if you already hate Eloisa. Save yourself. Eloisa may be a woman of a, ahem, venerable age, but when she basically says "His mother died a long time ago. Shouldn't he be over it by now?" I'm about ready to kick her in the shin. The psychologist says Gael has always felt threatened by the family. Eloisa turns this around into them having character and determination. Psych: He's a weak member of the family. Eloisa: We don't have weak members in this family. Cara de WTF have I gotten myself into de la pysch.
Os and Sonia show up. Psych: makes eyes at Os. He walks her to the door.
Aitana and Pedro cook. Pedro looks kinda hot in an apron. Cara de maybe Joaquina was right de Fiorella.
Diana is still trying. It apparently takes a mature woman to properly appreciate a filthy old codger. Whoops! Did I say that out loud? I meant…a man with experience.
More cooking. More jealousy. Pedro runs after Fi. She's throwing rocks in the fountain. She threatens to throw them at him. He tells her throwing a coin in is better for getting a wish. "You're pretty when you're jealous." Oh, shut up, Pedro! Fi says she gets it. Rich people and poor people can't love. She doesn't have an "education" or "class" and she doesn't know how to cook chiles en nogada (this is a reference to "Like Water for Chocolate" as was the onion Pedro tried to put on his head) or fancy dishes. She'll never fit in his world. Pedro says they'll make their own. He pulls out another coin and wishes for a kiss. Fi looks around nervously, but, hey, why not?! [SMOOCHIES!] Simona summons Fi to help set the table, but she knows what she interrupted and backs right the hell out of there. A few final smooches and Fi goes after her.
Julieta is grateful for the welcome and thanks Eloisa. And apologizes to Fiorella in front of the entire family. Federica talks about how they didn't get along, so of course Juli would have suspected Fi. Well, whatever, we're celebrating. Julieta's grateful the responsible party is behind bars. Eloisa praises Aitana's cooking, Aitana praises her sous chef. Sonia attempts to ingratiate herself with Julieta. Sergio talks about how her eyes are still delicate, so they all need to take care of her. Eloisa says that Julieta and Gael both need lots of care. Pfft! Like she'd know what that means! Sonia snarks about the psychologist being no good, but whoops! She's a friend of Aitana's. Osvaldo talks about how pretty she is. Fed excuses herself to skulk around upstairs while Dante runs interference. Pedro takes a bite of chile en nogada and proclaims it good. Aitana smarms about how it's because they're a good team. Barf!
Fed goes into Eloisa's safe…or she tries to, but awwwwwww, the combination changed! So much for that stolen key.
Blah, blah, blah, Aitana's a good cook, she should marry Pedro, Sonia could learn more from her, she made crème brûlée for dessert. Oh, just shut up about Aitana! Fi makes a run for it. Pedro pretends he got a call from the office. Sonia excuses herself to use the "toilette." Since I learned it as "le WC" in high school French, I keep thinking they're all just bragging about going to the toilet in a pretentious French accent, but apparently "toilette" would be correct in Belgium. I read it on the Internet, so it must be true.
Upstairs, Dante and Fed argue about whether Fed had the right key, used it properly, etc. Dante says she must have changed the combination after Fed's last temper tantrum.
Out by the fountain again. Fi's ready to give up again. Pedro's arguing for their "love" again. Fi can't say "brûlée" correctly. Oh, honey, that's ok. We'll take up a collection on the patio and get you a blowtorch! Sonia spies. Pedro talks pretty. She's the first thing he thinks about every morning, the last thing he thinks about at night, he never knew love before her. Fi says he needs to tell her that. A lot. Sonia gets an eyeful of soft kisses and looks like she wants to hurl.
In Gael's bedroom, Gianna has ratted him out and gets in a good scolding before Pedro gets his turn. Gael can swear up and down that it's never going to happen again, but it doesn't work that way. We're calling in the pros tomorrow. Gael agrees and thanks Pedro for giving a crap about him, unlike everybody else in this poor excuse for a family.

Anonymous - Assvaldo is a very bipolar dude and a has an awful macho attitude. He is that type of man that treats his wife like if she were his property and that thinks that women just serve to be housewifes. By the way he has the same form of insulting women that his dad had jajaja, he always tells his wife eres una inutil like his dad. Oh well we can assume who was his great teacher of macho attitudes and abusing behavior. Too bad if Alina, the new Gael's pshychologist, falls in love with him. Univision cutted the scene where they meet each other. Osvaldo was smiling at Alina, even he seated in the coach by her side and he began talking with her without caring that gradma was there. Alina was also smiling at him.

Diva, thanks for working into the night and giving us this great recap! The episode was certainly loaded with clues, innuendos, flashbacks, hints, and all kinds of other goodies--thank you for hitting them all.
"Psych: He's a weak member of the family. Eloisa: We don't have weak members in this family." Arrrgh!!! The psychiatrist is discussing the patient with his family... Is her attractiveness supposed to make that okay? So annoying.
I loved the reconciliation scene(s) between Fifi and Pedro. However, can we assume that Sonia is going to trot out the tired old "you-the-baby-daddy" to Pedro?
(And by the way, Pedro did look darn hotte in that apron.)
:o)

And a very good morning all! Kat, this was amazing! Alerts indeed. We actually got some snippets of history on this dysfunctional group. So many unhappy parents causing miserable adults. Perfect how you laid all this out for us.
And there in the middle of all is Her Highness, Queen Eloisa. I can't even with her anymore. Instead, her sorry face is now gracing one of our dartboards. I'm done with her. Have at it.
Sitting firmly at the Gael table and staring into my chianti sadly last night. So why in the world would the psychiatrist that Pedro sends Gael to happen to be a friend of Aitanna? C'mon. There had better not be a leechy storyline where she falls for Gael and keeps spilling his secrets (especially if he and Gianna become an item.) I guess our poor Gael will be our resident whipping boy in this tale. And on the record, his "father" was an idiot. Can't remember was he the spawn of Eloisa? Cause that would explain a lot.
Call of the blood...here we go. And of course, the dude Julietta was with had to be rich. Why can't we have the heroines be accepted for themselves, not of all a sudden come into money and then all is well? Wouldn't you love once to see the happy couple buying a house in the burbs and schlepping to a day job like the rest of us? Maybe that wouldn't go over with intended viewers?
Roxy/Benito - nauseating but at least he'll leave Gianna for Gael now.
I tuned out the Vitto sliming. He actually said a good little girl needs to get her sleep? Really? Cause I think I'm going to be ill....

Mornin' Diva! Mille grazie, Capitana for a recap I could just quote verbatim but here's a few gems out of this thorough snarkfest:
Seriously? Who brings their fiancé-given cell phone to a tryst in the stables?
And tells her it's time for good little girls to be in bed.
she made a promise. I make a rude hand gesture.
every time she talks about their past, Pedro keeps giving her these "WTF?" looks.
maybe she's not really Aitana…she's Aitana's evil twin, Aitonta,
Diana is still trying. It apparently takes a mature woman to properly appreciate a filthy old codger. Yes, you said it out loud and glad you did!
Yah, as I said, I like Fifi but I coulda slapped her when that cell phone went off. Did she make a promise to Daddy! to carry an electronic leash and be infantalized by being told when she should go to bed and agree to be dressed up like a pretty, pretty dolly! UUUUfff!
Girl, I got bad vibes on the psychologist: her demeanor is anything but professional and she's Cousin It's friend and she needs to lose her license. The WTF moment is her running directly to Granny telling her all about the appointment, absoLUTELY violating confidentiality. Que the hell?? Gael's an adult! Eloisa is not his parent or guardian. Eloisa's take on the family as having "character and determination" is beginning to make me long for her transition from this veil of tears. . .mainly supplied by Gael! What a crock of dried up sh*!
Further, I'm fully expecting this "psychologist" to make a play either for Osvaldo or, yes, her client, Gael. Poor Gael.
Very informative flashbacks! Osvaldo and Gael's Dad put the Ass in Osvaldo. Although it could be taken two ways, seems Assvaldo, Sr. maybe is NOT Gael's bio Dad. Can't wait to hear what others have to say about this.
So in a scene we didn't see of Vitto taking Fifi to the hospital (which is fine by me) she must have gotten a taste of what it's like to be out in public with a man who looks like your great grand daddy grinning and spewing flowery Italian phrases and observing the looks everyone shoots at you: poor girl; silly girl; gold digger; lucky bastard; stankin' old fool; wish I'd bought stock in Pfizer. . .
The whole cooking with Aitana thing was STOOOOPID as was Granny gushing over her cooking. Pedro needs to take that heffa's hands off his arms, from around his neck and slam them firmly on the table with a "would you frickin' keep your hands to yourself and off of me!" And then he needs to change his seat. Pedro. This is NOT difficult. Coulda slapped him, too.
Ok. I'll take Fifi's rethinking and the kissy face I requested yesterday.
Anybody else feel nervous about that swing on the edge of that big drop off?
Mille grazie sorellina mia!
Seriously? Who brings their fiancé-given cell phone to a tryst in the stables?
And tells her it's time for good little girls to be in bed.
she made a promise. I make a rude hand gesture.
every time she talks about their past, Pedro keeps giving her these "WTF?" looks.
maybe she's not really Aitana…she's Aitana's evil twin, Aitonta,
Diana is still trying. It apparently takes a mature woman to properly appreciate a filthy old codger. Yes, you said it out loud and glad you did!
Yah, as I said, I like Fifi but I coulda slapped her when that cell phone went off. Did she make a promise to Daddy! to carry an electronic leash and be infantalized by being told when she should go to bed and agree to be dressed up like a pretty, pretty dolly! UUUUfff!
Girl, I got bad vibes on the psychologist: her demeanor is anything but professional and she's Cousin It's friend and she needs to lose her license. The WTF moment is her running directly to Granny telling her all about the appointment, absoLUTELY violating confidentiality. Que the hell?? Gael's an adult! Eloisa is not his parent or guardian. Eloisa's take on the family as having "character and determination" is beginning to make me long for her transition from this veil of tears. . .mainly supplied by Gael! What a crock of dried up sh*!
Further, I'm fully expecting this "psychologist" to make a play either for Osvaldo or, yes, her client, Gael. Poor Gael.

Kat- I will echo calling the recap amazing. This was obviously two episodes in one, and they decided to throw a lot of back story at us.
What we initially guessed about Pedro's mom was correct, and explains a lot about his feelings about Tania's and Gael's addictions.
Whatever changed Fi's mind, I'm glad she did. But Pedro is not holding up his end of the deal so far. Letting Aitana hang all over him, and letting everyone keep saying how they should get married, in front of Fi!, is NOT acceptable. I don't care how good he looked in that apron.
Daisynjay- Yes, Osvaldo Senior was Eloisa and Max's son. Casting got that flashback wrong. Osvaldo is like 10 years older than Gael, but in flashback, the kids were basically the same age. I know they chose young Gael because he looks like adult Gael, but they should have gone with an older/bigger kid for Osvaldo.
Eloisa continues to go further down on my estimation list. Her (inappropriate) conversation with the psych about Gael showed how insensitive she is. I guffawed when she said no one in the family was threatening. Ha! That's all they do to each other!
I don't like that psych. She's a blabbermouth, was making eyes at Osvaldo (her patient's main tormentor), and she's friends with Aitana. Three strikes. She's out!

Good morning, 5ft. Another fun romp through anther episode thanks to your incisive wit and humor.
I thought is was really funny when, just after Eloisa proclaimed to the psychologist that the Angeles family doesn't have any weak members, Osvaldo walked in.
In addition to being delusional, Vito is now demonstrating that he is controlling. He has the right to tell her when she should be in bed?
I guess I'm not understanding Osvaldo's strategy. He has said he doesn't want Sonia, but he doesn't want her to see anyone else either. To me, this is an either/or situation where either Osvaldo wants her and therefore wants to keep her with him, or he doesn't want her, in which case why should he care what she does? They should be seeing either a marriage counselor or a divorce attorney.
Aitana just doesn't have that magic spark in anything she does. I was thinking that, if I was the person eating the food they were preparing, I would have preferred that she had worn a hair net.
Okay, so the looong rollercoaster ride of ups and downs between Fi and Pedro has officially commenced.
Thanks so much for this, 5ft.

Ditto what Vivi said. This was such a full episode that seemed to drag.on.foreverz (IMO), but the recap is snappy and well paced. It's also chock full of information (since I only half paid attention.)
Loved the pink playhouse!
Pedro and Fio together is pretty amazing. Why can't we just have that all the time? The whole scene with him pushing her on the swing and the smoochies while he was on the phone was so cute. They look like such a real couple. Can't we just skip to the wedding now? (I hope Uni didn't see that.)

I don't suppose that the pink play house is old enough to be Federica's, so it must have been Roxy's. That realization erases all the warm fuzzies I had about that house.
Yes, that swing does seem precariously placed on that hillside.

Kat, you were firmly ensconced in the zone last night.
It was one amazing line after another including "Well, goodness…at night…in the stable…with a gorgeous horse and a gorgeous guy…in the lantern light…Fi just doesn't know what to say", "Who brings their fiancé-given cell phone to a tryst in the stables?", "The dudes who are really committed hire someone to follow their wives everywhere. Or check the GPS on their cell phones" and "Eloisa's Unsuitable Woman alert". Wow...
There is nothing stale or stagnant about this storyline. I like the fact they've introduced the shrink who is clearly drawn to Osvaldo. It will be nice to give him something else to do other than glare at Sonia and exhibit alternating fits of rage and jealousy.
I agree that Pedro needs to adopt a more hands off approach with Aitana who to me has no allure (totally agree David)...
I am sure Sonia's anger at seeing Pedro and Fi will culminate in her destroying the little progress our two love birds have made. What a shame...
Kat, thank you so much!

I wasn't as put out by the psychologist's visit to Eloisa as the rest of you. I think that in cases where the crux of the patient's problems lie in family dynamics, it would be necessary for the shrink to try to get some insight into exactly how the family members interact with each other. Also, it seems possible that Gael may have signed a form that allowed the doctora to do exactly that. I would agree that this interview with Eloisa went flying off the rails, but I attribute that more to Eloisa's close-the-ranks personality than anything the psychologist did.
I liked that playground too.

Loved all your alerts, Diva. They gave a nice unifying structure to the recap where so much information, in little snippets, was thrown at us. And it felt again like two episodes had been chopped up and smooshed into one.
"Electronic leash" quip was spot-on and I thought the same thing...why does she had that stupid phone with her? And why did she answer it, knowing it could only be Vittorio? Plus they should be kissing all the time. Who needs conversation of any sort, with each other or with other people? Except for Pedro's lines about thinking of her first moment on awakening and last second before sleep. Soooooo sweet. And love it that their kisses seem awkward yet enthusiastic. They're still figuring out how to make love to each other. Very realistic.
My other favorite line was "Eloisa's Unsuitable Woman alert went off". Boy, talk about Controlling. The woman is a monster. Can't hate her the way I do Frederica, but sure don't like her.
David, had to laugh about your hairnet observation. Yeah..imagine it added a bit of fiber to the cuisine last night. Ugh.
Bummed that it looks like Sofia the Envious, is about to pour some venom into Fiorella's cup of joy. Double UGH.
Thanks Diva...so well done. Muchas gracias.

Kat – thank you or the recap and spot on snark!
One the one hand, this show is easy to watch because I FFWD-> thru most of the blather. On the other hand, it's a merry-go-round of D3 and it's getting old. Gah.
Um, nice psychologist-client privilege there in anti-HIPAA land. And …. it’s foil lined beanie hat time!
Gael’s father was a true jerk. We see how Osvaldo got his start in abusing Gael.
Now I know just how stoopid Eloisa is. Crème brulee? Ye gods!!! That is the absolute easiest thing to make, especially with a cute little mini blow torch. Ya basta, show!
Eloisa would look just perfect in a witch costume, hat, broom, and black cat. (Maybe we could then throw a bucket of water on her and wait to see her meeeeeeelllllllt.)

Great one, Kat. This was a distillation of episodes 41 & 42.
My stomach is getting weaker at some of this stuff. I share your pet peeve about the psychologist. She needs to lose her license yesterday. Nothing in that conversation with Eloisa will make anything better. The lack of boundaries in this family is seriously toxic. The whole "family unity" thing that Eloisa obviously demands is not helped by such things. She's either in serious denial about the infighting or she is trying to save face with the shrink.
Considering that we got the "llamada de la sange" cliche with Julieta and Gael's flashback I'm betting he is not the child of Assvaldo Sr.
I wonder who knows about the security cameras. Many of these people do not seem aware of them. I suspect that only Eloisa and Dante know where all of them are.
Aitana's clinging vine act is getting on my last nerve. It screams "desperation." Pedro's distaste for it was obvious to me but definitely not to Fiorella. All this was too fast for Pedro to have The Talk with Eloisa. Predicting that this will help weaken his resolve. Now that Skank Sonia knows about Pedro and Fiorella I'm sure she'll blackmail him about the night he didn't rise to the occasion (which he can't remember).
What wasn't in this episode (not in this order and mostly cringe-owrthy):
Vittorio bitched at his staff again (which is all about his frustrations with Fiorella). This was adjacent to the brief scene with Diana.
Early on he and Fiorella had a "date" for which she wore a solid-coloured wine-red dress with long sleeves. There was the scene where she dressed for that and talked with Gia. She didn't like this dress and said it made her feel 15 years older. After she and Vittorio left the hospital he went on about her having to wear more dresses like it after the wedding when she would be working with him in the restaurant. The bright florals won't do. History item: She asked about when he and her father last saw each other and it was 25 years ago, which would have been just before she was conceived.
And don't take my furbaby away! Eloisa doesn't deserve him. He's a very loving boy.

There are so many people in this crazy family that it's hard to keep the relationships straight. How is Julieta a part of the family? Whose cousin/sister/daughter is she?

J - Julieta is a long time friend of the family. Not related at all, IIRC, so more of a plot device.
Thank you Kat I always like your version better.
"the sound of her electronic leash"
"I say that's lazy controlling-husbanding"
"Forget Pedro, Fi, check out the house!"
"It's a sad painful story. All these stories are"
No wonder Fio has bailed on Vitto after the day date to the hospital. Her first with Pedro was the carnival.
Pedro sit somewhere else or put a tack in the seat next to you

Count me in too on loving "if I was the person eating the food they were preparing, I would have preferred that she had worn a hair net." Good one David!! I let out a big guffaw and thank the heavens no one in my near vicinity is in today.
So, UA!! They left this out? Thanks for letting us know. "History item: She asked about when he and her father last saw each other and it was 25 years ago, which would have been just before she was conceived." I don't know why, but I still get a nagging feeling when and where Senor Lech and Fi's "father" were together is pivotal to her history.
Wish we had seen the date in a way, painful as it would be. So he wants to turn Fi into a boring hostess. Can we say crushing her spirit much? Man needs to have a vat of hot pasta sauce explode on him and take him out of commission for awhile. (Sorry, the vindictive in me comes out with TN's.)

Thanks Doris! That makes more sense. I was thinking that she was a blood relative somehow, which would have made Pedro and Fiorella somewhat related if Julieta turns out to be Fiorella's mother...

I think Juliet's mother was an old friend of Eloisa's, so she's regarded as family while not being a blood relation.
Oh, one thing that is truly bugging me is that the opera music that recurs in the background of the scenes at La Dolce Vita is "La Donna e Mobile", which is something that Vittorio is likely to throw in Fiorella's face when she finally has the courage to tell him she loves Pedro.

Thanks for the fill in, Urban! I was totally right about that first "date" making Fifi see the light! Hallelujah!
Love this and it's painful but probably true: Now that Skank Sonia knows about Pedro and Fiorella I'm sure she'll blackmail him about the night he didn't rise to the occasion (which he can't remember).
David, you make good points about their maybe being a signed release. I'll grant that but I'm just thinking back to the long line of unethical Drs. and "mental health care professionals." I'm thinking of at least one Psychiatrist (or Psychologist) who turned out to be crazy herself, kidnapped and tried to burn the Protag's child alive and another who got the hots for her client's man and went after him. . . I'm just getting that vibe from this Psychologist. Yikes!

Hey, forgot to ask...so who do we think actually forged Gabriel's signature on those documents? The way I feel about Eloisa right now, she has my vote. And I'm sorry, why are the documents in a home safe and not with the business lawyers or at the company?

Sign on my way to work today " Every path has puddles " This show is one massive puddle . Is anyone happy in this show ?
One thing you can say about Diana..she is persistent and focused. I find her always getting up into Vito's old facade verra disturbing.

Lila, what novela was that?
When Sonia pulls that blackmail attempt I hope Pedro insists on an immediate DNA test. That could put her in boiling water is Assvaldo isn't the one who knocked her up.

Gracias, J in O! He sure did look good in that apron, didn't he :D
Gracias, Daisynjay! Personally, I would be happy to see some middle-class storylines instead of it always being "rich people" and "poor people." But, whatever, I guess I'm happy to make fun of the silly rich people and their pretensions.
Gracias, Lila! I don't know if it matters to me at this point whether Gael was his biological son or not. That's a shitty way to treat a child. Par for the course with this family. Hey...ask for kissy face again...we need more!
Gracias, Vivi! I'm going to have to assume Eloisa's response to the psych was more about putting on a good face than anything else 'cause she can't possibly be in that deep denial about the nature of her family.
Gracias, David! I love your observation about Osvaldo walking in as the weakest link. Oh, I don't think he wants Sonia, but he can't get a divorce. It's just not "done."
Gracias, Sara! I'm totally jealous of that playhouse. Was it not the coolest? With its own little balcony and everything. I love the chemistry when it's Fi and Pedro Happy Time.
Gracias, Diana! Yeah, I'm sure we can count on Sonia to throw a wrench in things. Too bad that wasn't in the doctor's instructions...vitamins, folic acid, get some rest, eat well, and NO DRAMA!
David, sure, if Gael signed a release, I'm all for it...I just don't think that he would have, and if he did, the open living room where anyone could walk by and overhear was not the place to be having that conversation.
Gracias, JudyB! I'm betting she carries the phone because it's less trouble than calling him later and having him ask why she didn't answer his ten missed calls and two dozen text messages. The creep.
Gracias, doris! I confess that I have never made a creme brulee, but if I had a blowtorch I totally would. Because why wouldn't I? If I had a blowtorch I'm sure I'd be finding an excuse to cook something that required a little blowtorch action on a daily basis. On second thought...maybe it's better I don't have a blowtorch.
Gracias, Urban Anthropologist! Ugh...those useless cameras. I'm so over them. I'm over Aitana, too..."clinging vine" is right. Hack it back at the roots, Pedro...be free....
Gracias, J! I think you got your question answered about Julieta. She's a "friend of the family." I think there's something about her mom being friends with Eloisa? Which makes her skanky husband nothing more than a friend-of-a-friend of the family.
Gracias, tofie! If he's willing to do it, I'll provide the tack.
Gracias, Susanlynn! Uh...no, I don't think anyone on this show is happy. Simona's usually quite cheerful. Does that count? None of our main players are happy, that's for sure. Fidel and Joaquina seem to spend a lot of time worrying. I guess she's the only one.

Gracias, doris! I confess that I have never made a creme brulee, but if I had a blowtorch I totally would. Because why wouldn't I? If I had a blowtorch I'm sure I'd be finding an excuse to cook something that required a little blowtorch action on a daily basis. On second thought...maybe it's better I don't have a blowtorch.
Gracias, Urban Anthropologist! Ugh...those useless cameras. I'm so over them. I'm over Aitana, too..."clinging vine" is right. Hack it back at the roots, Pedro...be free....
Gracias, J! I think you got your question answered about Julieta. She's a "friend of the family." I think there's something about her mom being friends with Eloisa? Which makes her skanky husband nothing more than a friend-of-a-friend of the family.
Gracias, tofie! If he's willing to do it, I'll provide the tack.
Gracias, Susanlynn! Uh...no, I don't think anyone on this show is happy. Simona's usually quite cheerful. Does that count? None of our main players are happy, that's for sure. Fidel and Joaquina seem to spend a lot of time worrying. I guess she's the only one.
Urban, I was afraid someone would ask that. I don't have evidence for the two whack-job mental health professionals I mentioned in my comment and I may be getting my evil deeds mixed up, but here's one recent example, which happens to involve a male character:
There's a so-called Psychiatrist in La Gata (whom we called HatBro) who falls in love with a crazy character named Gisela and he teams up with her and the evil-crazed-obsessed with her daughter-in-law's demise character named Lorenza. Crazy Shrink teams up with them to wreak havoc on the protag, Pablo. This crazy shrink took the patient (Gisela) back to his house after she was discharged from the psych hospital. He fell in lurve with her defenselessness!

I'll have to keep thinking of the others or maybe some of my friends would like to chime in. . .if it's OK with Capitana Diva!

La Diva, thank you for this recap. It was fun, aggrevating & Happy recap.
Fun: because pedro and fifi were so much fun to Watch, they are like two kids on a playground Making googgly eyes at each other, she made him so happy when decided to fight forTheir love. And what a fight it will be!!!!!
Happy: cause they are so happy with them-
Selves and their decision to love each other out loud. They gonna have to work for. Now can y'all see him being this happy with "It" ?(Aitana), I called her it because her hair looks like it's hair on the Addams Family.
The aggravation is the old bat, she's going to give him so much trouble. "Fiorella is out of their class, she's a servant," blah blah blah. he's going to wind up telling the old bat to mind her own business. Eloisa is very disappointing I thought she was going to be better than the people she's criticizing but she's worse than they are.
there's a lot of sadness in this family, a lot of abuse of alcohol and pills. maybe when you're trying to keep up appearances and a fony facade you have to swallow a lot of liquor and pills. and the third generation is headed that way. Poor Gael.

Urban, maybe it's a good topic for a weekend discussion:
less than ethical medical and mental health care providers;
violation of confidentiality and privacy of patient information on novelas
the recurrent refusal to tell, consult with and otherwise treat the person under treatment like the adult he or she is.

Lol, Lila, coming up with a list of *ethical* medical and mental health providers in TNs would be a shorter list. My first assignment in ethics class was to watch any movie that included any kind of mental health provider and list all the violations of the APA code of ethics. I picked Prince of Tides. I can never watch that movie again.
Thank you, Nina! I'm sure you meant the episode was aggravating and not my recap. My recaps are never aggravating. Or so I'm told :p (No, wait, that's a lie, and I have the hate mail to prove it!)

Lila- The two crazy psychs mentioned were the one in Porque el Amor Manda, who kidnapped her child patient, and Amores con Trampa, where that one tried to drive her patient crazy and steal her husband.
Vivi, I didn't want to call you out but honey, if I had your memory! Lord, have mercy!
Thanks, girl! I even tried searching the PEAM feed and thought that was the first one but needed verification. Thanks for saving me some work! You da bomb!

Anonymous - Assvaldo is a very bipolar dude and a has an awful macho attitude. He is that type of man that treats his wife like if she were his property and that thinks that women just serve to be housewifes. By the way he has the same form of insulting women that his dad had jajaja, he always tells his wife eres una inutil like his dad. Oh well we can assume who was his great teacher of macho attitudes and abusing behavior. Too bad if Alina, the new Gael's pshychologist, falls in love with him. Univision cutted the scene where they meet each other. Osvaldo was smiling at Alina, even he seated in the coach by her side and he began talking with her without caring that gradma was there. Alina was also smiling at him.

Kob Khun Krap Diva! (Thank You in Thai.)
"And tells her it's time for good little girls to be in bed. Also he wants to buy her dresses. Gross."
Little by little, Eloisa, Federica and Vittorio remind me of Edgar, Georges and Madame Bonfamille from The Aristocats while Fio/Gianna, Sonia and Roxana remind me of Lady, Si and Am from Lady and the Tramp.
