Antes Muerta Que Lichita #63 Monday 12/21/15
Beto and his brother Gumaro corner Venus at her apartment, demanding to know what's going on at the orphanage (the changing of the employees and blocking out Beto). She is annoyed at the intrusion, but actually seems a bit sympathetic. In all her years as a social worker she's never seen such an extreme response by the authorities. She can't prove anything, but she's sure that something is afoot.
Meanwhile, Mateo is being trotted out to meet a proposed match family. One of the sister literally drags him out with a hand around his neck. It's very creepy. They tell him it's a rare opportunity to find a family and want to know on the spot if he's ready to go with them.
The newly cinderella-ed Alicia (who, with her new hair, makeup, and skimpy dress, looks so much like the rest of the office bimbos that I initially thought she was a new character) meets with a guy who wants to hire Ikonica to help his company (the Agrotec group) with an image problem. They've been sourcing their coffee somewhere bad (he had to whisper it) and using lots of pesticides. "You'll be perfect," he says, because she managed to beat her own image problem from the scandal that was basically just a week ago.
Rafael and Beto talk about all the secrets that abound in the Toledo y Mondragón household. They remark on the Duke's stolen ring and wonder about Augusto's mysterious accident. How odd that Augusto would make such a generous gesture (helping keep Luciana out of Argentina, where she would be arrested)... They definitely suspect something.

| The neck-grasp is kind of spooky. |
The newly cinderella-ed Alicia (who, with her new hair, makeup, and skimpy dress, looks so much like the rest of the office bimbos that I initially thought she was a new character) meets with a guy who wants to hire Ikonica to help his company (the Agrotec group) with an image problem. They've been sourcing their coffee somewhere bad (he had to whisper it) and using lots of pesticides. "You'll be perfect," he says, because she managed to beat her own image problem from the scandal that was basically just a week ago.
She says she won't do it on ethical grounds. Icónika won't be involved in that sort of whitewashing. He accuses her of hypocrisy... after all Alicia did a great job of salvaging her own ruined reputation.
There's a weird bit with Magos on the phone with the bank, trying to sort out credit card debt. Nacho misinterprets what's she's saying and tries to correct her grammar and manners.
Dafne and Alicia forgive each other and decide to be friends again.
Haha, even though Luciana isn't creative director anymore, she refuses to vacate the creative director's office. Rafael, though, has realized that she must have some dirt or some hidden influence over her uncle Augusto. Why else would he put up with her shit for so long?
Beto is telling Augusto that he wants to move out of his house, that he's a man who "takes the reins of his own destiny," but Augusto thinks he should stay. He reveals to Beto that he's grooming him to be his right-hand man and successor in all things!!! He can no longer count on Alex, so it's all on Beto.
Alicia tells Sandra she doesn't think they should do the ad campaign for the unethical coffee people. Sandra doesn't take this defiance lightly. She drags Alicia straight to Augusto's office to complain. Augusto immediately takes Alicia's side, further enraging Godzilla.

OT, but important: According to TV Guide's website, Univision's prime time lineup is pre-empted for holiday programming both on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. So all Thursday authors get the night off on both dates.
Thank you, Ezra, for a recap that was so much more enjoyable than the episode, Too much uncertainty everywhere Hope that the episode is better tonight. Last night was the first episode I really did not enjoy. What was that woman doing with her hand around Mateo's neck? Wonder if she leftfinger marks on the poor kid's neck.
Thank you Ezra! The screen shots were fantastic as always and the recap was terrific.
"newly cinderella-ed Alicia was spot on! And yes, Alicia is almost unrecognizable. I don't see any of the genuine sweetness she used to emit so effortlessly but another overly made up sexpot that blends in all too easily.
I didn't get to watch some of this so am wondering if we saw whoever it was that might be adopting Mateo? If Venus smells trouble, then something nasty must be afoot.
Leave it to Luci not to crumble. She's lost her title, her prestige but darn it, she is not gonna lose her office!
Am I wrong or will Gabriel Soto be appearing in some future episodes? I'm really looking forward to seeing him.
thanks so much Ezra.

Thanks, Ezra!
I'm starting to suspect the heavy hand of Augusto behind this change at the orphanage and Mateo's new mystery parents. He always seems to be a step ahead of everyone, and I have no doubt he's already investigated Roberto and gotten all the dirt on him long ago, including info about Mateo. He will use Mateo to control Roberto when he steps out of line, or protests any nefarious plans Augusto has. This is all speculation on my part, but nothing else makes sense.
Alicia 3.0 seems to have lost some of her warmth and spark to me. Hope we see some of the old Alicia sparkle soon.

Diana- See we are thinking the same thing about new Alicia. No, we never saw who is adopting Mateo. Just the pant leg of a man.
Thanks Vivi!
I think you are totally right about Augusto being behind all of this (which did not occur to me)...Yes, what better way than to keep Roberto in line?? Sigh.

Thank you Ezra---A nice recap for a not so happy episode last night.
Does anyone know what Sandra said to Alicia last night that was strong enough to make her/Alicia cry?
I agree that the big Don Agusto is behind the Mateo adoption thing. The big Don is or seems to be behind everything.
How are you going to sell terrible coffee? Can Alicia pull off a miracle on this one?
must see tv

Thanks Ezra! I'm with you on Alicia's change. If her drastic look signifies a change in personality as well then yikes!
Also no episodes for next two Thursdays? I hope this is true because I will be out of country next week....can anyone confirm? Otherwise I was going to watch ahead of time.

Thank you Ezra you are spot on.
"with her new hair, makeup, and skimpy dress, looks so much like the rest of the office bimbos" Where did Alicia go? Second day of the new but not improved and even the chat with Ximena seemed forced. I also don't like Roberto in her face and don't believe the new Alicia looks or seems like someone that would give him a second look.
Well, at least Luciana still entertains me.

gringo, Alicia was crying about a comment Luciana made during their exchange. She and her husband were going on their honeymoon. Alicia resolved to cover it up so no one would see her weakness. Augusto saw her on the swings and correctly said she was hiding.
couldn't agree with you more. Alicia seems more and more bland. She isn't fun at all to watch anymore.
Thanks, Ezra. I'm late to the party but I enjoyed your recap a lot.
I think this is Maite's greatest challenge as an actress -- how to convey to viewers that sweet Alicia is inside that sexbot.
Right now, my biggest fun on the show is Luciana.
