Josefa
warns Ari not to stick his nose in and begin causing problems for her and
Maleny. They’ve got plans and he’s not
part of ‘em. But, if he lends them a
hand in screwing over Claudio Bustamonte, she’ll return the favor with his
venganza against Orlando.
·
·
At
Doris confirms that Alma is sick with the big C and that Isela’s dumped Clod.
Orly doesn’t believe it cuz he secretly knows Ise’s affair is part of her
venganza against Clod. He plans to
intervene again, because from what he knows about the old guy, he doesn’t
deserve any of what Hosie and Co. have planned for him, much less his wife and
his buddy Leo.
·
·
While
Max waits for Mama during her PET scan, Maria Dolores and Ise argue over each other’s
lack of morals and big mouths and even bigger lies. MD should have kept her trap shut and Ise
should ‘a kept the space between her legs shut.
Any who, Ise admits she’s called
it quits with Clod and MD stands her ground stating Max had the right to know
and to be there for his mother.
·
·
Mal
and Mama discuss the best way to put the squeeze play on Clod to insure
DannyBoy’s new jailhouse BFF gets freed is to threaten Clod with telling his “now dying” wife about the affair he’s been
having right under her nose. Gurrrsula
is drop-the-honey-dripping-beehive impactada.
·
·
There’s
a PSA discussion amongst Esperanza, Doris, Leo and Clara about beaten and
abused children. Doris admits to being
mentally abused by her mama. Espy comes
to think that the way Hosie has treated Ise all her life it’s as if Ise wasn’t
her kin at all. She plans to ask Honoria
about that.
·
·
Clod
brings Ise back to the barrio for a chat with Hosie, He confronts her with child abuse. Hosie admits it and says, “—So what?” She’s got her rights…..blah, blah, biggity,
blah.
·
·
Meanwhile,
Orly takes Ise to his apartment (in front of Ari’s spying eyes) to convince her
to leave off the venganza now that Alma’s dying. Ise’s pissed at MD’s big mouth
AHHH-gain. She confesses that she has
broken it off with Clod cuz she realizes she’s now in love with him and because
of the pity she feels for Alma’s condition.
·
·
Ari
runs into Clod and eggs him on telling him his little lover was just seen
heading for Orly’s love nest with him. Orly
tries convincing Ise that it’s time to let bygones be bygones now that Alma’s
dying. Ise says her venganza is over cuz
she’s soooo in luhhhv with the old fart. Leaving him is now her self-imposed
punishment. Clod confronts Orly just
then at the garage apartment when he sees Ise is there also. Orly and Ise try convincing Clod that she’s
just admitted she’s in love with Clod, not him, and he’s told her he’s with
Doris now. No harm no foul where Orly’s
concerned. Clod’s not so sure. He snorts at Orly on his way out with Ise.
·
·
Espy
tells her suspicions about Isa’s background to Doris (I think). Ari shows up with a check from Doris paying
off Orly’s debt about the car and then gives Orly grief about being a “kept man”. Orly gives Doris grief about treating him
like a child with stuff like that and they kiss over her apology for caring so
much about others. She admits she took
out a loan from her nanny Chelito to help Orly out.
·
·
Max,
Alma and MD stop at the church after the PETscan and they tell the padre that
she’s got pancreatic cancer. They all
agree on a New Year’s wedding to please Alma. Next
they stop at MD’s house when Orly stops by.
Max and Alma apologize to him for misjudging him and accusing him of
attacking Ise.
·
·
After
seeing Alma and Max off, Hosie blocks MD’s way to the stairs and confronts her. Hosie mentions how she found out about Alma’s
cancer condition by nosing around the house and Alma’s personal papers and then
found the medical report and the test results.
Hosie threatens to make the sick woman’s last days grief-filled and
anxiety-ridden if MD doesn’t stick her nose out of Ise and her bidnez
threatening to tell Alma and Max about the affair. If not, screeches the slatternly bully bitch,
“--That gal won’t die of any cancer but from pure rage instead!” With that MarDi delivers a slap upside Hosie’s
head with a crack heard all the way to the street and around the fricking
corner. (Yahoo!)
·
·
Clod
wants the truth from Ise about why MarDi’s kept quiet about their affair. Ise tells him to ask her himself if he needs
to know so badly. He then gets on his
knees and tells her that she cannot leave him with such an emotional and
physical hard-on for her after the sacrifice he’s made to be with her, near
her, etc., etc., all the family issues and legal issues, yadda, yadda, yadda……
·
·
At
the same time, Espy and MD discuss Hosie’s reason for wanting Ise to sleep with
Clod and to get so cozy with Alma if it’s not for money. Espy and MD figure there’s got to be a way to
stop Hosie from threatening everybody all the time. Espy mentions her suspicions about Honoria
knowing something and that it might have to do with Ise not really being her
daughter, considering the way she’s always acted towards Ise. She decides she’s going to pay Honoria a
visit and ask her point blank what she knows that’s stopped Hosie in her steps
before. She suggests that MD ask Orly
the same thing: what do they know about this business with the Bustamonte’s.
·
·
When
Orly and Doris come back to MD’s place for a chat together, MD and they discuss
Ise’s relationship with Clod. Orly says
discuss the scene in front of Clod earlier and Orly says she really is in love
with the old guy despite having ended their relationship.
·
A
bit later on, Espy stops in for coffee with Honoria and Julian. Espy broaches the strange relationship Hosie’s
had with her daughter and this business with pushing Ise on Clod. Honoria speaks without thinking about how
years ago Hosefa had to take charge of this little girl. Honoria had complained to Hosefa about how
she would have sold her little girl they entrusted to her, working like a whore…--“
Espy stops Honoria there and then. “—what
do you mean ‘they entrusted her with?’
Juli steps in and explains despite his mother’s weak protests. “—Josefa is not Isela’s mother.” Espy sits there saucer-eyed impactada.
ReplyDeleteOk. It's up and I am figuring 39 more episodios. Is that correct? That would mean this thing ends the first half of December? 6 1/2 more weeks' worth?
Awesome Jardinera. Thanks
ReplyDelete"screeches the slatternly bully bitch"
"she cannot leave him with such an emotional and physical hard-on"
Riveting scene between Claudio and Isela and he putty on his knees. Isela owns the fool. I'm convinced she'll just wait it out till Alma dies and expects to be the next Mrs. Bustamante
MD is no match for Isela, MD tries to play by the rules and for Isela there are none.
Maybe it was just me but Max seemed hesitant about the wedding date. I thought he wanted it sooner rather than later.
Loved how Orlando and Doris worked through their issue, admitting they are imperfect yet want to relearn behavior conducive to a healthy relationship.
Gracias, Jardinera.
ReplyDeleteThere was a continuity issue because in one of the scenes Ari had his previous haircut; that scene must have been shot the day before the rest of the episode. His current haircut is disgusting and makes him look very nasty. Why do men go this to themselves?
It's high time Isela found out that Hosefa isn't her egg donor, although that has nothing to do with Hosefa being a nasty person. She would have sold her own flesh and blood for similar reasons.
Max and MD should get married immediately. There has to be somebody who can tell him that Mama Bear is trying to spring her cub.
Thanks, Jardinera. My favorites:
ReplyDeleteShe’s got her rights…..blah, blah, biggity, blah.
Ise says her venganza is over cuz she’s soooo in luhhhv with the old fart.
she cannot leave him with such an emotional and physical hard-on
Isela has crossed over to the dark side and it looks like she’s staying there. When Claudio pleaded with her about his snits with his family members and how he can only get it on with Alma by thinking of her (Isela), I wanted to gag. Kudos though to the actor portraying Claudio.
Orlando wants to help out Claudio against the Josefa-Isela scam? Orly, please mind your own business.
Whoohoo, MD slapped Jo!
Whoohoo, Doris knocked on Ari’s door and slapped him when he opened it!
Josefa not being Isela's mother changes nothing for her future. The time is long past when this was about "revenge". This is about what Isela wants and Josefa burdensome. Wonder though, if Claudio's ego could take knowing Isela initially came on to him, not cause he was a hottie, but for revenge. Isela would need to shut Josefa up somehow.
ReplyDeleteIt changes nothing for either of them in the long term, but it will make Isela turn on Hosefa. I'm waiting for that one with baited breath.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jardinera!
ReplyDeleteNiecie- I think Orlando is most concerned with Leo and Max, because they are his friends, then Alma, and third Claudio, because not even HE deserves this. Claudio is not first on his list of concern for those affected by Isela and Jo's revenge scheme.
Tofie- I too liked how Doris and Orlando worked out their disagreement, and most important, didn't let Ari win in his campaign to drive them apart. He gave it a good try this episode, telling Orly about the check, and telling Doris Orly was getting hot and heavy with Isela in his apartment. Good for her for realizing Orly was likely speaking to Isela about her situation with the Bustamantes, despite dying to go rip Isela's hair from her head (her words). Loved Doris slapping Ari, but good!
I thought it was interesting that we learned that Doris' parents were emotionally abusive, and so she left as a teen and lived with her nana for a while before becoming independent. That's why she doesn't get why Isela, who is a grown woman, can't leave Josefa if she is being abused.
Max's hesitation about getting married immediately (right after the new year) I think is about wanting to focus on Alma and getting her well first. He's not yet in "let's do everything immediately, in case she dies soon" mode. Alma is. Max is thinking, let's throw all of our efforts and energy behind getting mom well, and THEN we can get married.
Jardinera654, imformation is good, so is this
ReplyDeleteRecap. Thank you much.
Who is isela's mom? Did alma have a baby &
The father stole her from alma? O gawd dont
Let it be ursula's abanded child by someone
That didn't have any money for her liking. So
The guy took the baby and left, cause she
Didn't want the baby. Now yall knowThats no stretch, she said she didn't want maleny. It
Could've happened that way, the woman's a
Nut job. And then he left her with a lady thats
Crazier than ursy. 39 more episodes left, any
Thing can happen.
I like the last parts of max's thoughts ↑ above
(Vivi), get momma well.
Thank you Jardinera. So many words I try to look up and they aren't in my dictionary. Very frustrating when it's that one key word. But your recap definitely helped.
ReplyDeleteI wish Orlando spoke like he was more into Doris than he sounds. It makes me worry that he will eventually go back to Isela before this is done.
They sure don't seem to be giving Alma an out with this death sentence. I'm curious how long they will drag out her death before this is over.
