Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #50 Mon 11/2/15 (Mex 70-72) Petey peters out

Ciao, amici del Patio!  Here's what I can make out from what they showed us.

Showdown between Granny and Petey ends predictably:  He will damn well do what's good for the family and the business and whatever else SHE tells him.  They trade charges of disrespect.

Roxi interrupts Gael and Gigi's tender goodbye.  She sucks up the tears and turns the bitch-o-meter on high.

Granny wins and Fiorella and Gigi move out.  There is a scene of them, Fidel, Simoneta, Quina and gardener dude crying together and pledging to stay in touch.  Aitana comes to eff with Fiorella as she packs in her room.  Fifi gives us a welcome but short flash of sass as she tells Aitana she'd better back down before she get's smacked down.  It's dark when the girls leave.  Freddie, Sonia and Roxi stand outside to watch and mock.  Fifi and Petey have a few minutes for more plaintive, empty phrases of hope for their love.  Fifi gives Pedro a small wad of tissue.  Vitto interrupts them and collects Fiorella.  Pedro mouths a wimpy, "take care of her."  Pedro opens the tissue.  It's the diamond ring he gave her that day on the rickety, rocky boat of love ride.

Suddenly Vitto, Fifi and Gigi are in his living room where we are reminded what Italian bumpkins they are when Gigi picks up an expensive vase and almost drops it.  Next they are in the room the girls will share.  GAG ALERT:  Vitto tells Fifi he is ready to receive her in their room when she is ready.

Osvaldo presents Aitana as an executive assistant in what I guess is a board meeting.  Pedro has cara de WTF and Freddie gives him an "in yo' face" glare.



Vitto takes Fifi to La Dolce Vita the next day and tells Diana to play nice.  Oh, and they're going to have dinner tonight with her Mom and "twin sister."   Later Diana tries to bust Fifi out when she sees a text from Pedro on Fifi's unattended phone.  Fifi rescues the phone.  She's on to Diana.

Gael practices CPR on some random, supine blond chick.  Benito sees them and, Mexican bumpkin that HE is, he thinks Gael is doing deep throat kissing.  Benito fumes.

Vitto throws an impromptu party for Fiorella complete with Italian musicians that look frighteningly like mimes.  Fifi asks them to play something lively.  She begins to jump up and down like a two year old, raven locks keeping time with the music.  She and Vitto "dance" while he hums something not in the least bit related to the music.  Of course, Pedro, who is with Fidel, looks through the door and sees Fifi and Vitto "cutting the rug".  He leaves, deflated, it's obvious she is a lot happier away from him.  While he's taking a breather Fifi grabs a nerdy looking musician to dance with her and Vitto goes ballistic and throws everybody out, including the musicians.  GAG ALERT:  He can't stand any body touching her and he doesn't want her dancing with every Tom, Dick and Harry.

Aitana crashes a chess game/confidential conversation between Fidel and Pedro.  She quips that the Queen won.  Of course, she thinks that's her.

Diana announces to her Mom she's found a friend to play her twin.  The girl arrives sporting a new look.  Her hair is bobbed .... and pitch black.

In what was probably supposed to be a scene where Fifi breaks up with Vitto, she goes to his office and, as usual, he doesn't let her get in a syllable sideways.  He apologizes for the little party fiasco.  He tells her he doesn't want her to marry him out of a sense of obligation.  "What do you feel for me?  Have you ever felt anything for me?"  She waffles, no, yes, no, well "It is a lot of work to see myself with someone so much older than me."  GAG ALERT:  "I have a young spirit.  Let me show you.  Let me spoil you.  I want your eyes to shine when you see me.  If you don't let me, I will never have a chance to show you what I am capable of."  He wants her to just name something she wants him to do.  I guess she said take her to a movie.

So it must have been one of the romantic chick flicks Fifi likes.  They discuss whether or not the protagonist was really in love or some such.  This is all just a set up for the two of them to pass the cafe where Aitana and Pedro are.  Aitana runs out to Fifi and Vitto and insists they come and join them.  THIS is just a set up for her to clutch at and coo over Pedro for Fifi's benefit.  Pedro and Fifi have private flashbacks about the first time they met (the bike crash) and the kiss in the lake at the fair.  Vitto and Aitana  are clueless but all they have to do is look at the pained and longing expressions on Fifi and Pedro's faces.  Well, they're sadists, so they're probably enjoying it.  Fifi finally has enough, she and Vitto leave but not before Pedro drops a note in her purse.

Dante and Freddie argue about him asking Eloisa about Benicio, the coma guy.  She trusts her cards and they keep telling her the same thing.  Feel free to fill in here.

There is a weird scene of Pedro and Fifi at the dock on the lake referred to above.  It is night and I thought they were going to meet there per the note he slipped her, but no.  Neither one sees the other as each cries about needing to forget the other; Fiorella prays to San Biagio to help her forget Pedro. Oh, it's so sad, each one thinks the other is sooo happy with the "love of their lives".  They are so noble! 

Fiorella and Gianna act as if they're about to go to a wake but no, it's the dinner with Diana, her Mom, "Sister" and baby.  What's this?  Fiorella finds the note from Pedro.  She had just told Gianna that she thought Pedro had forgotten her.  The note says, "I've searched my heart, my head and all my being.  All I want is for you to be happy, even if it's not with me."  Gianna wants to know what she's going to do.  She will honor her promise to marry Vittorio and they must go to the dinner!

Freddie swears to a picture of her Dad, Gabriel Angeles, that she will avenge him and fight to get back everything they stole from him!  She quickly jumps up from her little makeshift altar when she hears Dante on the phone telling someone it would be better if he talked to them in person.  Freddie is suspicious.

Quick scene of a fight/hissy fit as Benito confronts Gael about playing with Gianna's emotions.  Benito calls him all the standard novela names, patan, imbecile, etc. and Gael thinks Benito has gone off his rocker.  We don't get to see the end of the fight.

Vitto, Diana, Black-haired sister, baby Beto, Diana's Mom, Fiorella and Gianna gather for dinner at La Dolce Vita.  Here's the best line of the night, uttered by a grinning Gianna:  "The only good thing about living with Vittorio is that we can eat like we're in Italy!"  You go, girl!  Long story short.  Neither Vitto nor Fifi thinks Diana and her fake sister look anything alike.  In a moment when Vitto and Fifi and Diana have left the table, Gianna asks innocent questions of Black haired sister about Beto like, what's his birthday and how much did he weigh.  Diana's Mom jumps in quickly and nervously to answer.  Gianna silently notes how awkwardly Black haired chick is holding Beto and how she even seems disgusted at some points with the little darling and is totally ineffective in quieting his fussing.  Umh hmm.  Gianna knows something is fishy.

Diana and Vittorio talk in the Dolce Vita office.  Vitto is troubled:  She and her sister look nothing alike, the baby doesn't look like Black haired sister and she is so uncomfortable with the her own baby.  Diana plugs his pie hole with her own (kisses Vitto-- I try to avoid putting the word "kiss" and Vitto in the same sentence) just as Fiorella enters the office!

Will Fiorella FINALLY find a reason to break it off with the old coot?

Thank you Lila for taking your time to write this very good recap considering that the episode was very boring. Watching scenes of Fiorella and Vittorio makes me feel sleepy, the only good thing of them is that if you have insomnia they sure would help you more than the pills to fall asleep. By the way this was another 3 on 1 episode but it was a terrible editing.
 

Buongiorno e grazie, Marla. Yah, I tried not to complain too much during the episode. It felt like a 4 in 1! There's so much I could say right now, but it would be all negative and I don't like to start my day out that way! So, gracias, Marla.
 

Lila, you've started my day with a much needed smile. Thank you for this excellent recap amiga.

"Gael practices CPR on some random, supine blond chick" and "Diana plugs his pie hole with her own (kisses Vitto-- I try to avoid putting the word "kiss" and Vitto in the same sentence)" induced laughter and appreciation.

What I especially love is the way you cut to the emotional heart:“ Vitto and Aitana are clueless but all they have to do is look at the pained and longing expressions on Fifi and Pedro's faces:, cleanly and succinctly. But then of course you top it off with your signature wit: " Well, they're sadists, so they're probably enjoying it".

It is very hard for me to follow this, I have to do other things and because the action is so fast paced (along with chopped episodes), I would be lost without the recaps.

I did see Gael practicing CPR with the lovely student and I couldn't blame Benito for jumping to the conclusion he did.

I think Freddie's wrath will be fearsome once she realizes what Dante did. This is not going to end well.

I am surprised Fio and Gi were really forced out by Eloisa. I can't see her current living conditions continue much longer (?) I suspect Vito will worm his way out of the kiss with Diana so we will have to suffer a while longer.

“GAG ALERT: Vitto tells Fifi he is ready to receive her in their room when she is ready”. Oh dear, I am so glad I didn’t eat breakfast today. Vomit worthy. Truly.

Thank you Lila!

Diana
 

A lovely, snarky recap to start the day. Thanks so much Lila. You are a far braver soul than I am, because I had to work the itchy trigger finger on the remote a couple times last night. Thanks for taking it for the team.

Vitto is just disgusting. Sorry, but he's just delusional. and the fact the writers play it like Fifi owes him her LIFE for paying for airfare...hey, work as a waitress and pay it off, but you DO NOT have to marry this coot.

Not all twins have to look alike, but being Diana was stupid enough to use the excuse of an identical, I get the alarm bells. Bless that little dude for being tossed around through all that. (Side note: loved Gia's outfit with the skirt.)

Speaking of Gia--I'm in just watching the chemistry fly out of my screen when she and Gael are on it. Rox and Benny need to take a step back. I get Benny being protective, clobbering the guy without him explaining...not so much. Breathe people.

That dock scene. Whatever. And the minute Aitanna started hanging, and I mean hanging all over Petey in that cafe, itchy trigger finger went into action. I know it's for purposes of plot to show the witchy girlfriend is a skank-ho, but I really hate when the make the guy allow- a clingy, hands all over woman. Would you fight for a guy like that?

Daisynjay
 

Diana! Amica preciosa! Grazie, mille grazie! Oh, Diana, you don't know how much Diva, Sneaky and I appreciate these kind words as the din of crickets rise over the Patio! And it's all Uni's fault! Ok, said I wasn't going to fuss about editing. Well, it's the story's fault, too. Anyway. . .Diana, do you think that finally Fiorella will feel that Vitto is unworthy of honoring her Father's pledge since he -- AGAIN -- is not upholding his end?

You spoke one of my major fears: I suspect Vito will worm his way out of the kiss with Diana so we will have to suffer a while longer.


Raise your hand if you thought we'd be seeing a hot, totally in love Pedro, cooing, swooning, kissing and missing a lovely, fiesty Italian chica! Instead we get Mr. Poligrip clutching and wooing and trying to hypnotize a virginal young girl the age of a great granddaughter!

It's like watching somebody pull the wings off a butterfly, I tell ya!!!!

Gracias, Diana! I know life's a blur but just popping in from time to time is so encouraging!
 

Buongiorno e mille grazie, amica mia, Daisynjay!

Not all twins have to look alike, but being Diana was stupid enough to use the excuse of an identical, I get the alarm bells.

The idiot showed Vitto pictures of herself and claimed it was her twin! What a dip stick!

. . .I really hate when the make the guy allow- a clingy, hands all over woman. Would you fight for a guy like that?

Daisy, Petey's just another in a line of weak-willed, brain dead hand puppets that allow their Parents and witchy girl friend to stick their hand up their b. . .back, work their arms and their mouths while we're supposed to believe they're so helplessly in love with the leading lady. I'm about at the point where I'm willing to be spoiled just to avoid watching these so called galans who are poster boys for erectile dysfunction of character, frickin' emotional cripples and cowards that can't even stand up for their own right to love who they want. I'm tired of this 100 episodes with Mr. and Ms. wrong while watching the main couple suffer. And the suffering ain't even moving me anymore.

That dock scene. Whatever. Amen!

Ok, that was a recapper rant and I ain't sorry!
 

Grazie tanto. This goes through to the end of Mexican episode 72 and there are some important things missing (Not in this order):

Aitana tried to get Fidel to talk her up. He was not eager to comply and only did a minimal job of it before she showed up at the chess game.

Federica and Sonia were in the conference room looking at something on Sonia's laptop when Aitana came in with some stupid thing about organizing monthly birthday celebrations. Neither Fed nor Sonia like the idea of her being there although they have different motives for this that they didn't share with each other. Aitana deliberately spilled Sonia's coffee cup and some of the liquid got on the computer. Both Sonia and Fed gave her hell for that and sent her on her way. They decide to work together to get rid of her.

In a later scene when they were both in the conference room Aitana came back with a stack of papers for a meeting Pedro called. When her back was turned Fed set the papers on fire. Aitana doused them with the water pitcher and put out the fire, but there is now a large wet area on the carpet. Both Sonia and Fed went after Aitana with cigarette lighters saying that she would look better with shorter hair. More fashionable, too. Pedro came in and saw the wet carpet, but somebody said something somewhat plausible. Thus far Cousin Itt hasn't yet ratted them out over that one.

Cat fight in the classroom when Roxana got on Gianna's case over Gael paying her tuition. Gia told her she intended to pay back every centavo after graduation to which Rox said "If you don't die first" and that set her off. When someone yelled that the prof was coming they stopped and went back to their seats, but both their hair were messed up. He asked whether anything was wrong and both said no. The important thing about this scene is that several classmates had their cell phone video cameras aimed at the fight. There will be consequences because of that.

Helloisa more than earned that nick at the dinner table. After Assvaldo finally convinced her her (and it wasn't easy) that Sonia had to take extended maternity leave "for the sake of the baby" she decided that he was worthy to be the head of the company. Later at the dinner table she announced that Assvaldo would now be CEO of the company, totally humiliating Pedro. Pedro had a fit, left the table, and almost trashed his room. Aitana followed him up and tried to distract him with sex but he wasn't falling for that. He finally got her to agree to go home.

OK, Pedro; here's your chance. Sell any stock you own in A Corp and get your butt into another CEO position before Helloisa can drop a poison pill on that effort. Move out. Go after Fiorella.
 

Lila, and the wonderful recapping team of Muchacha Italiana- I know I have been neglecting you and have been remiss in expressing my gratitude for these wonderful and witty recaps you craft each week. I read almost every day, but alas, I no longer make any effort to watch. In fact, last night I officially changed my dvr to not record it (Pasion y Poder is starting!). Life is too short, and there are other galanes more worthy of my time (Max in Yo No; Antonio in La Vecina; heck, even Rob in Lichita).

I am glad to hear that GaGi is still a couple, although with some bumps in the road, and that Fi is out of pigtails (although I can see Vitto being into that...). Thanks for the extra info, Urban. Here's hoping that Eloisa taking his job from him spurs Pedro to take a stand and go after what/who he really wants.
 

Mille grazie, Urban! Two cat fights and a demotion, hunh? On the first, two grown women actually went after a third with a cigarette lighter and also started a fire in El Corporativo? Que the hell? A Roxi/Gigi mix up doesn't surprise me. What a bitch Roxi is. She's the one that needs to die!

And Pedro's demotion and Ass boy over the company? Is that why Assvaldo was introducing Aitana as whatever the hell her position was? Why the heck would they leave out something like that?

Jeezo-pete!

Yah, if what's holding Petey now. Let him get the hell out of El Rancho de los Demonios, scoop up Fifi and let's have a totally different show!
 

Hey, Vivi! Grazie, mille grazie, girl! Oh, Lord. Yes, let the TN gods give us a change of scenery! I'm tired of old prune-faced Granny, hair ball and So-Not, Freaky Freddie and the whole bunch! Let's have a nueva etapa! Let Fifi and Petey run away or something. If I could just get my expectations go to the basement I wouldn't get pissed at episodes like last night!
 

Assvaldo was using Aitana's arrival at the company as an opportunity to make Sonia stay home. That was in his head a few episodes ago. Whether he is genuinely concerned about the baby or not, he is looking to control Sonia. Helloisa didn't want her underfoot all day but Assvaldo convinced her that this was in the interests of the pregnancy, so she was OK with it as long as she and Sonia leave each other alone. Sounds like a plan.

All that was before his appointment to CEO.

Since her announcement of that also mentioned his impending fatherhood I wonder if she was a fan of Cuna de Lobos.

One more thing: There is probably a catfight in the future for Julieta and Belinda over Sergio. Belinda was coming on to him and managing the ambush move just caught out of context by Julieta. This is beyond distasteful.
 

Rockin Lila, love how you put this together.

"GAG ALERT:"

"musicians that look frighteningly like mimes"

DnJ I agree, Petey does look way too accommodating of Aitana's nuzzling, only a simpleton would ignore it.

Fio - and we'll see Frozen 2 on release, promise?

Beto - beginning to feel like a hot potato

Vitto - The Safety-pants Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM4okRvCg2g

Petey - Petey Party

Aitana - go ahead Petey tell em about the first time you gave me the big "O" and we were on a BOAT

Benito - do as I say not as I do

Gianna - this place got indoor plumbing or need a slop jar

Osvaldo - at the pinnacle of the Misanthrope Ladder

 

Thanks, Urban! Ewwww! Belinda and Sergio? I'm sorry. Belinda is just. . .nasty!
 

Wooo. Wait, What!! Urban you're kidding me? So we got skank-ho hanging on Petey in a cafe, said Petey and Fifi waxing poetic to themselves over lost love they haven't lifted a finger to really fight for, and the three witches standing around waiting for the cars to drive off, but we DIDN'T get a videoed cat fight and Petey losing his job??? And I'm sorry, if I have to watch Cousin It, it's having get her hers even if it is by Freddie and Sonia.

Who has the scissors at Uni? The door man could do a better job of dicing and slicing.

You're right, if Petey doesn't take advantage of this now that he's off the top, then I really don't care what happens to him and Fi. They are both starting to get on my nerves. Never seen a TN with BOTH the leads as indecisive whiners.

Go GAGI!!

Daisynjay
 

Tofie Sorellina, mia! Gracie, eh! Girl, you crazy but you right on point: That is so the "dancing" that Fifi and Vitto were doing! It's The Safety Dance! But apparently it is too risqué when Fifi does it even with a vertically challenged, nerdy, mime looking, 4-eyed musician!

The whole list rocks, especially aitana and Osvaldo's. And Gianna's! "Slop jar!" Lord, I ain't heard that since I was a wee lass visiting my Grandparents in rural Arkansas! Whoo hoo!

Thanks, Tofie!
 

TEE- HEE...tofie. You brightened my day. Those were great. That whole thing with the urn harkened back my college days to a guy I knew in a frat...lord he was gorgeous, but on the 2nd date I walked in his room and there was a spit-tune...a very fancy one that looked like a china vase, but one nonetheless and I was like WHAT?? HATE those things and seeing someone walk around with that stuff in their cheeks ( which he had not done to that point.). Future doctor, go figure. I read your comment and started chuckling. Ah, the good old days.

Did have to think that was a little insulting to throw in though. I mean the girls didn't come from the garbage dump. I think they would have known an expensive vase if they saw one. And they just come from the mansion which was no slouch. Really hate they keep trying to dumb these two down. Gia is a pre-med major, give her some credit for brains.

Daisynjay
 

Daisy, they make it clear whenever they can that if you ain't got money, you ain't got brains. . .or manners. . .or human worth. . .
 

There was also a hint that Belinda and Sergio might both be addicted gamblers, so that could be another plot point for the future.

Oy, vey!
 

Oh, yuck! And they've got enough time to pursue it, too!
 

Lila thanks so much for today's and last Friday's recaps (Halloween got me and this went on the back burner)

"Gigi picks up an expensive vase and almost drops it." - I thought she was looking for the 'made in china' sticker on the bottom


"Gael practices CPR on some random, supine blond chick. Benito sees them and, Mexican bumpkin that HE is, he thinks Gael is doing deep throat kissing. Benito fumes." oh Beni, sigh, Gael isn't like you, he doesn't go around kissing everybody he can get his lips on.

_____

I'm much happier when I pretend that Vitto doesn't exist, so no comments about him, not even to complain.



 

Lila - Thank you for the recap! I won't have time to watch this and it sounds like it was more of the same-old, same-old, lather, rinse, repeat. Bless your heart!

" He wants her to just name something she wants him to do."
Too bad she did not say --- "Please jump into the river while wearing cement shoes."

tofie - OMG LOL!!! Hubby and I love that song, ever since it was a hit in the 1980s!

UrbanA - thank you for filling in what was cut out. It would have been great fun to Sonia & Fed going after Cousin It's hair with lighters.
 

Grazie, carita Sneaky!

I'm much happier when I pretend that Vitto doesn't exist, so no comments about him, not even to complain.

I think I may adopt that on non-recap days! He makes me just want to spit!


Grazie, querida Doris! Please don't bother to watch. Helps me feel vindicated for having had to do so!

Love the cement shoe advice for you know who!
 


Good afternoon folks. Thank you so much for all your wonderful and hilarious comments.

Urban thank you for writing the important things that Univision chopped away. I would add that Sonia began to feel sick after having a horrible discussion with Assvaldo at the office.
(Oh wait a minute this is not a good sign for a pregnant woman) He was so rude at her(not surprising coming from him) pulling her arm while telling her that he didnt care if she dies tomorrow but that inside her womb she was carrying his son, an Angeles. Oh he is treating her like an incubator.

 

What a jerk! Uuuuf!
 

Thank you, Lila! I appreciated your recap much more than I did the episode. I suppose that's not saying much! They're getting so repetitive that it's actually helping Mr. 5ft's comprehension. He made several outbursts last night without my having to tell him what stupid thing was just said. So...yay?

Like you, I was happy to see some spine when Fi was telling off Aitana, but I wish she'd taken it further.

If anyone wants to do tonight's recap, I've got an awful headache and I'm not likely to post anything until the morning. Email me so I know.
 

Lila I enjoyed your recap. The episode was
Frustrating. I think all of these episodes will
Be that way to me until the happy ending, if
You can call some if them a happy ending.
Benito doesn't know what mouth to mouth resuscitation looks like that's probably why he opened up a can of whoop ass on gael.
Those 2 adolescents need to grow up. At
Least one of em does.
Vitto is to old to move that way, he'll brake
Something. I think hes upset he can't move
Fast anymore. Hes just really old. But a nice
Guy. Just not for fifi. Well maybe tomorrow
Nite will be better. Will be nice when the day comes when pedro will be a match for the old lady. Right now it ain't happenin.
Thanks again Lila.
 

Diva! Grazie! Sorry, girl! This show certainly won't help when you've got a headache. I popped in last evening but then got a call from my daughter. I hope someone answered your call. I think we are definitely in bullet point territory with this show.

Nina Grazie a ti, tambien! You're a faithful Patio member. We can make it through this!
