Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #47 Wed 10/28/15 (Mex 66-67) The Creature from La Dolce Vita
I'm iffy about the neckline on Fed's dress, but other than that I think I really like it. The argument with Dante is the same one they had yesterday, about offing Eloisa.
Out by the stables, Pedro and Sonia also have the same argument they had yesterday, about telling Os that Pedro is the "real" sperm donor. He gives in when Sonia says everyone's all upset over Sergio, so now is not the right time. Then she tries to hit on him. And fails.
Fi's in the principal's office with Principal Vitto and Vice Principal Diana, being interrogated about stiffing the landlord back in Italy. Major fail for Diana as Fi readily admits to owing money, and she's got it ALL accounted for and written in her little notebook…all the money she owes the landlord and Vitto, everything she spent and what she spent it on.
Sonia and Belinda argue about what to do with the DNA tests. Fi overhears them talking about "real" and "fake" tests. Sonia wants Belinda to leave the house.
Os is high on impending fatherhood. He's so frickin' happy he's sharing all his happy feels with Pedro. Pedro wants to tell him the "truth" but his phone keeps ringing and they're supposed to be having a meeting soon. Pedro misses Fi's call due to the sudden appearance of Vitto, teleported straight from his crypt, who demands to see her phone. The board room fills with suits.
[POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ALERT, EXCEPT THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING VAGUE!] Dante is sweating, thinking Eloisa wants him to kill off Vinicio and his daughter, but no…she just wants them re-located and all trace of "them, the accident, and what happened with Gabriel" erased. Not that Eloisa is sure exactly what information is out there that needs to be scrubbed. She just tells Dante to figure it out. It's really a "just in case" thing, because Federica dropped Vinicio's name. She wants to pull Federica out of the corporativo, but Dante says that will make her more suspicious. Eloisa will have Fed watched at work, and in the meantime Dante can get to finding and removing the information that may or may not exist. Clear as mud, right?
Sergio, still in the hospital, wants Julieta to quit fighting Anibal. She reluctantly agrees.
Vitto is trying to talk flowers to Fi, but she's massively distracted, looking for an exit. She tries to escape to the bathroom, but instead Eloisa shows up and asks to speak to her. Vitto waves away an offer to have Simona come wait on him. Because apparently Vitto doesn't trust the taste of any woman who actually likes him and wants to be around him. It's only fun to drain the life out of them when they resist.
Anibal's Head Henchdude gives him one week to get his buddy out of jail or he'll rat Anibal out.
I really do like Fed's dress. No, Dante, she will not drop the "Vinicio" issue. And the fact that Eloisa told Dante to get rid of him in a non-fatal way just confirms that she's on the right track. She's not worried that Dante would actually kill her if Eloisa asks. [HISTORY ALERT! FOR REALZ THIS TIME!] We get the end of the flashback with Young!Dante and Gabriel…he shoots into the hay and tells Gabriel to leave. When he turns his back, Gabriel attacks him, the gun goes off, and Gabriel gets shot in the chest. So, yeah, he wasn't going to do it, but it happened anyway. Dante comes out of his bad memory and tells Fed he loves her and would never do anything to hurt her. "Mas te vale, Dante." (You'd better; as in "you'd better mean that.")
Eloisa called Fi into her room to ask her if she thinks Fed is acting weird. Fi's all "No, she just IS weird." Eloisa's, like, "Weirder than usual." Fi remembers Fed snogging Dante, but says "No." Eloisa wants a report on any further weird behavior from Fed.
The meeting wraps up and Os gloats in Fabio's general direction. Pedro wonders QTH that's all about but Os says it's nothing to worry about. So, about that thing you wanted to say earlier…?
Fi gets back to Vitto, and he obviously applies his powers of vampiric mind control to get her to confide in him that Eloisa was asking about Fed. That would be the Fed eavesdropping on this conversation, who hears Fi say she told Eloisa she didn't notice anything weird.
Pedro takes so long getting started that Sonia has time to show up and tell Os that the Legal department needs his signature on some stuff.
Vitto, who is obviously an old enough specimen of bloodsucker that he doesn't instantly burst into flames in sunlight, takes Fi out to the driveway. He takes a veil out of the trunk of his car and tells Fi she needs to start thinking about her dress (which I thought she already had a fitting for, but whatever). Her phone starts ringing and he croons "When you're mine, I won't let you answer even one phone call, because I love you. Or look at a man without my permission, because I love you." Fi practically rips off the veil and runs back inside the house. Not far enough, Fi. Not far enough.
It's Pedro's turn to worry that Fi didn't answer his call. Julieta calls and tells him Sergio is better and ready to receive visitors.
Fi is hiding from Count Vitto on the floor in the employees' kitchen. He comes looking for her, but gives up easily. Whew! She can finally call Pedro. "I don't have much time! I'm being stalked by the undead!" Oh, and also, Sonia and her mom were talking about faked DNA tests. Pedro is on his way back to the ranch! Fi hears the screech of the evil creature once again and starts to go out the window, but she changes her mind. She'll stay and fight him instead. She tells him he has to respect her personal space and not be telling her she can't take phone calls. If he pulls that creepy crap again, she'll pelt him with garlic and douse him with holy water. And no more blood-sucking…er, face-sucking…without her express permission. In writing. Notarized. In triplicate. Vitto is so starved for a good meal that he agrees. Also, since she brings up the security cameras and he's not sure if his image will appear on film, he leaves peaceably. I may be embellishing some of this. You decide what.
Benito checks out chicks in the college caf. He confesses to Gael that he has a thing for Fi. Gael says she's about to become to bride of Dracula, so, maybe he needs to give up on her? Are they…having a civilized conversation about girls?! Gael says he doesn't have a thing with Rox. She's his cousin. He misses being with Gianna, though. Benito advises Gael to carry Gianna's books. Chicks dig that. What Benito digs is how awful Rox treats him. Sure, he didn't like seeing Gael and Gi together, but now he gives them his blessing, as long as he gets Rox all to himself. Dude, if you can survive her horrible treatment, she's all yours. And that's with MY blessing!
Fed now thinks that Fi never saw her kissing Dante. She won't back off on her "investigating" but she won't kiss Dante in public again, and everything will be fine. Which is why they're practically shagging in the front hallway. When he brings up their "love" she asks "Who said I loved you?" Seriously, Fed? I don't care if you do or not, but are you trying to get your stupid ass killed?
Gael brought Gianna to the place he goes when he wants to get high…no! Not his dealer's! Someplace where he can do something that makes him feel good. And he wants to do it with her. No! Not like that! It's an orphanage. Helping out with the kids made him feel better and kept him from wanting to dope up, so he thought Gianna might like it, too.
Fi needles Sonia and Belinda about lies and growing bellies. Os overhears her saying she knows something Sonia won't like…but Os interrupts before Fi can say it. He tells Sonia to go pick out a suit for him to wear tomorrow. Os thought Fi was going to tell "their" secret. She tells him to worry more about his wife.
Benito brought Rox to his house to meet his parents properly. He wanted Rox to meet them as they are, so he didn't give them any warning. Rey and Adela fall all over themselves to feed her while Rox looks grossed out and Benito enjoys himself. Rox takes Rey's joke that Adela could make a stew with two potatoes and six cockroaches literally and wonders if there are bugs in the tacos. Later, Adela talks about how she always wanted a daughter to teach all her recipes to. Rey builds a pyramid out of bread, he and Adela argue about how she can't mend socks, and Benito knocks over Rey's bread pyramid and brags about how now Rox knows all the things his dad does to annoy Benito. Ah, but Rox is feeling her orphan-ness and is moved to tears because she doesn't have parents or a family and no one has so much as offered to teach her how to make a dessert in her life.
Fi finally gets to give Pedro the details about what she overheard. Sonia shows up and Pedro says he knows the DNA test results were fake. Even when Belinda gets there, Fi sticks to what she heard. Belinda's explanation is that the fake DNA tests went to Osvaldo. Fi runs off in tears. Pedro isn't entirely convinced.
Gael's giving the orphanage kids checkups. Gianna doesn't know how to do much, but she can take vitals. They both end up with their faces painted and Gi feeling more alive than ever. Gael says he's never felt as complete as he does when he's with her. He knows he asked for time, but he takes it back. As difficult as the future seems, he can't even think of a future without her. Things might get rough, and they’ve both got problems, but he wants to be with her. Gianna agrees to be his girlfriend again, to the delight of all the orphanage kids, who come to join them in a brightly-painted group hug.
Pedro still wants to be with Fi, even if Sonia's baby is his. Fi turns him down. The baby needs him. Sonia needs him. He can't let Osvaldo raise that baby. (The one thing everybody agrees on!) She goes off to prepare Eloisa's sauna, but Pedro corners her there and Sonia locks them in and turns on the heat…but does she know they're both in there? Tune in tomorrow and find out whether this gets steamy or just…wilts.

Thank you Diva for this funny recap. Oh I loved that scene of Assvaldo talking to Pedro about his baby. He was really excited of being daddy and that was so sweet. Univision cutted a piece of the scene where he enters with bags of toys that he bought for his baby and shows them to pietro especially an electric car. Assvaldo says that he is sure that the baby is gonna be a boy. Oh poor Pietro I felt bad for him. He is in a very difficult situation in which sonia has dragged him. He thinks he slept with his cousins wife and that he is gonna have a child with her, a child that should be son of Assvaldo who is the husband. Then he wants to tell Assvaldo the supposed truth and take care of the baby but sees his cousin happy like he never has been in his life and doesnt have the courage to hurt his feelings and also he doesnt want to risk sonias pregnancy. Oh what a disaster.
I also loved Gianna and Gaels scenes in the orphanage and I am glad that they are again boyfriends. Oh they have such a chemistry and magic together, they refresh the novela that sometimes gets monotonic.
Oh poor Roxana I felt sorry for her when he started crying with benitos parents. Maybe adela and reynaldo will give her a little bit of that love that she needs.
Oh well Diva this was an edited episode so there were other scenes edited.
For example
A meeting on the corporativo where they were talking about a business treat with Herdez company for 30 years and Assvaldo was making some indirect and poisonous comments to Fabio.
A scene of Sonia and Assvaldo arguing because he doesnt want her to continue working because of her pregnancy and she doesnt want to pass her whole pregnancy locked up in the ranch. Aitana hears their discussion and offers assvaldo to be her new assistant and take sonias place.
A fashback of julieta arguing with anibal because she was reading a bill of money that he spent on jewelry and flowers for another woman.
Maybe some of julieta and sergios scenes in the hospital
Some scene of simona flirting Vittorio.
Some scene of gianna and gael playing at a park.
Some call of pietro with the doctor that attended sergio. That was before assvaldo came in with his babys toys.n
I also dont have too much faith in assvaldo. He is only gonna get worst especially if the sonia pietro bomb explodes someday. That is gonna drive him more crazy and his hate for pietro is gonna increase.
And oh yeah adela surely is gonna teach some discipline to roxana. That would be very good to see because joaquina has overprotected roxana so she needs somebody to straighten her.
As for Vitto...the man is a control freak and just plain stalker creepy. My lord, now we know why he never married. Each time he pulled this crap with some woman, she went running for the hills. Or they are all buried in La Dolce Vita's basement after he sucked the blood out of them. THOSE scenes they leave in. GRRR.
But they take out that Aitana is going to be Os's assistant...maybe. Oh, my lord, make it so. Those two idiots deserve each other and will be each other's doom.
As for Belinda, sick of her, sick of Sonia and that whole plot line is tiresome and getting way too much air time.
What I did actually rally enjoy---the dinner at Benny's house. That was priceless and one of the few really semi-comedic scenes we've ever gotten. I could see Rox's face start to soften and the realization that with all that fuss and bother, there was a lot of love in that room. Call me crazy, but I so want to see Roxy with Adela scenes. Cooking lessons would be a hoot. Never thought I would WANT to see more Roxy, but I've been sucked in.
Whatever with Dante...way too much of he and Fed AGAIN last night. Give us the vitals if you're cutting UNI and then enough.
And my sweeties are back together!!!!! Complete with cute kids. Moment of pure joy before we had to deal with Fi and Petey will they, won't they again. And I care why?

"I'm being stalked by the undead!"
"since she brings up the security cameras and he's not sure if his image will appear on film"
I'm hoarse from yelling at Fio. What is so hard about telling the old creep she ain't walking down that aisle.
At least Gianna and Gael are back together.
However he wants to spin it in his head, Dante still killed Gabriel
My favorite segment was Roxi at Benito's house. At least she did not start screeching and insult his parents; I'll give her points for that! Rox bursting out in tears was sad and touching. Maybe she is destined to end up with Benny, after all. Must see TV? Ummm... welllll ....
It was a boring episode that I FFWDed ---> thru the Dante/Fed scenes & Sergio/Julieta scenes. Apparently there wasn't much to miss there. Yeesh.....
Pedro the Idiot couldn't just take a step back when Sonia was hitting on him? What a bobo del pueblo.
When Vito said he would not let Fi answer any phone calls, my red flags were popping up and waving around. Jeepers Creepers! They guy is now picking out her veil?!? Major control freak.
He didn't have the smarts to become undead at a younger age so how can he be smart enough to realize that Fiorella is so not into him?
Dante's been around this family long enough that he should realize that Federica is just using him. Whenever she gets what she wants or finds out it doesn't exist he will be expendable.
Saw the scene with Assvaldo going on about the toys. I'm not buying the idea of a 180 on him. That he is so sure the baby will be a boy should be a signal to us that it will be a girl and he won't be happy about that. But it will serve him right.
So Roxana was finally in a room with people who could outshout her. Good. And while she saw what a loving family is like I'm not so sure she will realize yet that this means she needs to change.
It can probably be explained as early signs of dementia. He IS demented, to some extent.
No, I don't think Benny's family will help Rox see that she needs to change. She sees nothing wrong with her awful behaviors. However, Roxi realizing, and even saying *out loud*, what she did is a first step in becoming a human being; a first step towards redemption. Unfortunately, we have MANY episodes to go where she'll still be screeching and PMSing. I really would like to see her turn around.
I will be a brave soul and set up a Roxi table on the Patio. One must wear rain gear for the rotten tomatoes that will be thrown at it, but I'm holding out hope for her.
Gracias, tofie! She's running and hiding from him and she doesn't stop to think there's something seriously wrong? And when she was ready to go out the window, I was thinking "Ooh, no bars, go for it!" I guess I'm getting a little too used to the badness myself.
Gracias, doris! Pedro needs to take lessons from Fi about how to avoid someone when you don't want to kiss him. Or, they could just get the hell out of there, but nooooooo....
Gracias, Vivi! My pleasure :D
Gracias, Urban Anthropologist! I guess what Fed's been giving him is just so good, he doesn't care that it's not real? No, no, but seriously...I think working for Maximo twisted Dante's brain a little bit. Fed now gets the benefit of that.
So maybe some patience and willingness to hang in there with her will turn her EVENTUALLY around. I agree, I doubt it will be overnight, because Roxy does like the good life. She may find herself having to choose--love and a family, or fancy clothes and indifference. For some people, the money wins out....hello Sonia?
My guess is Eloisa knows what Dante did and she's helped hide it all these years?
Daisynjay
Daisynjay
So has Eloisa turned a new leaf and she no longer wants her problems killed off? Or did she not know Maximo had ordered Gabriel killed? Is it going to be a shock to find out, because "her" Maximo was just sooo perfect?
Does this whole Vitto is Dracula scenario make Diana our Renfield?
He went to Mexico for a new life. Probably had a vision of La Dolce Vita when he was on the boat and worked in restaurants for a while. Free meals during working hours, eats simply on his days off. Saves his money against the day of opening his own restaurant. Over 25 years and change go by and I'm guessing that La Dolce Vita isn't his first business. He spends more time there and probably just sleeps at home unless he's entertaining guests which I'm guessing isn't all that often.
Like most immigrants he worked his ass off for a long time and put off things like marriage and children. I don't think he went back to Italy during all that time despite how homesick he seems to be for it. He wants to marry an Italian woman, but didn't do anything to make that happen when he could have. No family left in Italy to help, which could have been an excuse he made to himself. He gets to age 40 or so and the dream is more real to him than the fact that he could have made it real.
Or he's afraid that the reality won't meet his expectations.
Which is what is happening now (for different reasons) although he's choosing to ignore that. He's fixated on a woman young enough to be his granddaughter because his dreams never matured along with his age. He's stuck in an adolescent fantasy. When he shaves in the morning (or at dusk when he gets out of the coffin) he doesn't see himself as he really is. He just notices whether his hair is combed, his mustache trimmed, and his collar is symmetrical. He doesn't see the grey hair, the wrinkles, the aging.
He would have been far better off had he married before leaving Italy and built the business with his wife. He would have grandchildren by now, maybe ones Benito's age.
Of course that he didn't do this could be related to why he left Italy in the first place.
There is something fishy about him, I agree. How can someone who runs a business not be found on the internet? So are we to assume his real legal name is not what everyone is calling him? What name is the business under?
Daisynjay
I suspect he's mobbed up. When he was robbed by those thugs in suits in his office he said to Diana "I'm tired of criminals." That was deleted from the episode most of us saw.
I suspect mob ties, also. I can see the spin-off now --- Las Muñecas de la Mafia II.
Frustrating episode. I guess I just want the
Good guys to get a few up on the bad guys. Im Hoping that fed get the goods on Eloisa,
Cause elo is a big o hypocrite, fake fake fake.
I hate the way she treats fifi.
I would love to see giana, roxy, gael n benny
Become really good friends. Roxy and gael
Need friends that can show them how it feels
To be not rich normal. Rich is fine, but these
Folk need to know how the other side of the
Tracks life is.
Sonia's momma........whatever. That baby daddy drama thing is kinda boring. I'll be glad when its over. Diana is stale. That just means shes not intetesting to me, maybe she'll do something that will catch my happy interest later. Don't count on it that tho.
doris, Las Muñecas de la Mafia II...ha!
Or is that something Assvaldo started when their baby was stillborn (or disappeared)? If the baby disappeared how much does anyone want to bet it was a girl?
Questions for anyone in the know:
What are the inheritance laws in Mexico? Are males favored by the law? Are they usually favored by the parents? Can a person legally disinherit an adult child for any reason?
I realize that Helloisa is of a different generation, but Assvaldo seems more out of date in this than even she is.
everyone knows the undead can't reproduce.
Pedro misses Fi's call due to the sudden appearance of Vitto, teleported straight from his crypt,
Vitto, and he obviously applies his powers of vampiric mind control
She can finally call Pedro. "I don't have much time! I'm being stalked by the undead!
If he pulls that creepy crap again, she'll pelt him with garlic and douse him with holy water. And no more blood-sucking…er, face-sucking…without her express permission.
Gael says she's about to become to bride of Dracula
Oh, Pedro, YOU BIG DUMMY!! Maybe a little cooking in the sauna will do them both some good because when it comes to brain power, neither one of these idiots is quite done!
Now. let me see what everybody is talking about!
Thanks so much Diva
oh and good prediction about Rox and Adela, I kinda hope that's where we're going
Thank you, Lila! Dare I hope there will be some sauna-encouraged disrobing this evening? ;)
Thank you, sneaky! I sure hope so, because screechy Roxi is just tiresome!
usually I just think ungh
but yeah your ideas make sense
I like it
Urban you are right, Sonia and assvaldos dead baby was a girl. I think that in some scene that was edited sonia said something to assvaldo like please understand me, I already lost our daughter. I dont want to lose this baby too. That was in some discussion they had when assvaldo was with her stomach ache due to the drugged tea that fabio prepared for sonia and he drank.
