Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #76 Thu 12/10/15 (Mex 105-106) Set a course for the weddings! Warp 2? 3?

Voyeur Luca thought bubbles that Fi deserves to be happy.  With all due respect…screw Fi!  I deserve to be happy.  Uh…we!  We deserve to be happy!  And Fi marrying Vitto will not make us happy.  But before Luca can actually say anything, the undead arrives, shouting for his bride-to-be.  Luca claims he was looking for her, too, but whaddayaknow, she's not here!  Fi and Pedro continue with the heavy breathing.  And then DANTE is screaming for Fi.  Because apparently his job has jack to do with security, but everything to do with tormenting Fi.  He gives her a hard time about slacking on the job and nearly finds Pedro hiding in her room.  She is summoned to Eloisa's.


Vitto used his powers of teleportation to transport himself and Luca back to his office at the restaurant.

And suddenly it's evening, according to the lighting, and Aitana is trying and convicting Fi of having ruined her dress.  I advise turning down the volume.  Fed is the only one having a good time here.  Benito and Gianna spy from the dining room.

Benito thinks there may be some truth to Aitana's accusations, because when it comes to dudes, chicks be crazy.  In general, mind you, he doesn't mean Fi specifically.  I mentally kick him in the shins.

Pedro arrives to spice up the action and Aitana blubbers that Fi ruined her dress.  Come on, Pedro, you know you were busy sucking face with her when it was supposed to have happened.  Don't EVEN seriously ask her if she did it!  You are dead to me, man.

Rox and Gael are STILL in his room, having been frozen in time through the afternoon and into the evening and are now un-freezing for him to explain why he thinks his daddy is not his sperm donor.  Benito sees them hugging.  I roll my eyes.

OK, maybe Pedro's not dead yet.  He has a private talk in his office with Fi…though I don't know how the hell he arranged that, with the flock of harpies out there in the living room!  He says he knows she didn't do it and he just has to convince his family.  I'm guessing not by telling them where Fi was at the time the crime allegedly occurred.

Said family, now including Osvonia are gathered in the living room listening to Aitana's whining.  Fed still thinks Aitana just didn't like the way it looked on her.  In the dining room, Gianna fills Simona in on the drama and then swans into the living room to announce that she's the one who ruined the dress.  With some kitchen shears.  This doesn't suit Aitana's plans at all.  Dante swears he checked the cameras and no one went in and out of the room but Fi.  Uh, and she was in there how long Dante?  Stupid useless security cameras!  Fed cackles that Gianna's not only sick in the heart, but the head, too!  Gianna claims she did it because Fi's the one who really loves Pedro and should be marrying him.

I guess Vitto came clean with Luca about being a lying liar?  Luca said that's a shitty thing to do both to the family and to Fi.  And no, he can't use "But I'm in love" as an excuse.  Luca is going to tell her the truth, if Vitto doesn't do it.  Vitto claims he's going to tell her, but I don't think Luca is buying it.  I'd demand to witness the confession, personally.

Fi yells at Gi for ruining Aitana's dress.  "But I didn't do it.  I realized Aitana wanted to blame you, but I wasn't going to let her."  So now they're back to "Then who did it?"

Vitto wants to cancel the family dinner and talk to Fi later. He swears he'll do it tomorrow.  Luca will tell the family that dinner is off.  Vitto keeps begging him not to say anything to Fi and stupid Luca agrees.  I swear Vitto's going to bump off his nephew.  He calls to report someone who's in the country illegally.  Disgusting lech!

So, actually, I was mistaken about the timeline.  All  that stuff happened 2 DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDINGS and NOW it's THE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDINGS.

Gi mentions to Fi at breakfast that Gianluca was looking for her the previous day, as was Vitto and Fi seems disappointed that neither of her unwanted suitors actually found her.

Two guys from immigration show up because Luca was reported as working without a permit. Of course, when they get there he's loading up some boxes with wine and Vitto is nowhere to be found.  Ain't that convenient.

Aitana throws a tantrum in Benigno's "office" aka, the Acorp conference room.  She rips up some pictures or a wedding magazine or something and badgers him until he says "OK, I was wrong."  I think he may have promised to buy her a pony to make up for it, I don't know.  I was trying not to listen.  Plus, I was distracted by a USB drive that conveniently fell out of his laptop bag.  That's a [YOU'RE GOING DOWN, BENIGNO, ALERT!] if I ever saw one.

At the immigration office, Luca tries to explain that he's just there for a wedding and isn't "working" just helping his uncle who owns the restaurant.  Said uncle's phone is now conveniently disconnected.

Fidel has Pedro's tux.  Fi has Pedro's…something.  Fidel gets the hell out of there with the tux.  Fi tells Pedro that Gi isn't the one who ripped up the dress, BUT…there was that incident with Benigno's cell phone.  She explains that El had Os investigate and supposedly it was all a misunderstanding, but after this thing with the dress, now she's suspicious again.  It's all news to Pedro.

Sergio's lady contact has info for him, but Julietta only hears his side of the conversation which includes much innuendo and bad, bad…and seriously, y'all, I mean epically bad…flirting.  Like, so bad I don't even know how Sergio hooked up back in the day.  Julietta gets the wrong idea.  Or maybe the right one, who knows. And we get ZERO useful information.

And now it's THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDINGS.

Luca managed to contact someone at the embassy and straighten out the mess.  Vitto blames it on the owner of the restaurant across the street.  And, no, he hasn't talked to Fi yet, because he was so busy not answering his phone all day.  But oh, he was totally trying to find Luca all day, yep.   He leaves his office and Luca asks Domingo about the owner of the restaurant across the street, but no, he and Vitto are BFFs.  Luca calls Fi and once again wastes too much time announcing that he has something very important to tell her.  Vitto whacks him with a vase or a candlestick or something.  I don't know whether to be more shocked that he did it or that Luca was stupid enough to call Fi from his office.  Vitto picks up Luca's phone and says Luca was just calling to rat him out for having a tiny little headache, that's all, and he forbids Luca from ever worrying his future wife again.  And then the filthy rat bastard wonders what to do with Luca.

Eloisa invites herself into Pedro's room for a pre-wedding slumber party.  They braid each other's hair and put on homemade face masks.  And if you believe that, then you probably also believe that she's sincere about how much she loves him and blah, blah, blah.  Well, whatever.  She probably means it as much as a cold-hearted ruthless manipulator ever can.  Note: Pedro also has the Tetris wallpaper in his room.

And suddenly, BOOM.  THE MORNING OF THE WEDDINGS.

Pedro arrives at the Acorp offices and gets Maricarmen to let him into the board room.  It's been cleaned up, but there are some files on the desk…and the USB drive, which Pedro quickly plugs into his laptop.  Oh, please let that be actual evidence and not just porn.  And also, that would be hilarious if he actually found something in one try when Fed's been at it for years!

Sonia is jealous that Pedro and Aitana are having such a lavish wedding when she had Os had such a crappy one.  Os doesn't care about the wedding crap, he just wants to take over.  Sonia agrees she's there to back him.  And then they get busy because weddings make people horny.  Or maybe it's just that jealousy, anger, and hate make Osvonia horny.

Vitto is having his wedding breakfast with Rey and Adela.  Adela's crying like she's the mother of the groom or something.  Or the mother of the bride, maybe, the way she feels about Fi and Gi.  Rey joins in on the crying about what good girls they both are.  Vitto thanks them on Mario's behalf for agreeing to give Fi away at the wedding.  They bring up the family…and Gianluca…

Who is trapped in Vitto's wine cellar.  Yeah, that's…not funny.

Back to the breakfast and Vitto asks Adela to stand with him to receive Rey and Fi.  Vitto's coughing so much I hope he's really getting sick.

Rox is all tarted up for the wedding.  Nah, not that tarted. Not for Rox anyway.  Gael comes in and they start looking for the earring Rox dropped.  They talk dead parents and Rox brushes that convo away.  But she does swear to keep his secret about thinking he's not really Os Sr.'s son.

Luca is kicking at the door with his tied feet and shouting for Vitto to let him out.

Joaquina, Simona, and Gi help Fi get ready.  She looks pretty, but in a dead sort of way.  Too somber for a bride.  Benito comes knocking to wish Fi luck on her big day. He jokes it's a good thing she's not marrying him, because he couldn't have afforded even the bouquet at this shindig!

Pedro has gotten a tech guy to circumvent the password on the USB drive.  The first thing he sees is an email from Aitana: "Hey dad, here's the copy of that document I promised you with the date they're selling the shares.  With this we can definitely bring down A. Corp.  We'll keep in touch.  Kisses, Aitana" and a PDF attachment "Shares A. Corp".  And what does Pedro say to this?  "No puede ser!"  And what do I say?  SI, PEDRO, SI!  SI PUEDE SER!

"Eloisa invites herself into Pedro's room for a pre-wedding slumber party. They braid each other's hair and put on homemade face masks. "

Rockin' it Kat! This recap was great.

Ok, so adjusted the beanie that we were at D-day on the weddings. I was kidding yesterday saying I wish we would just get there already. Who knew? Anyway, hopefully these next few episodes should be decent. Personally, can't believe there will actually be a Vitto/Fi wedding. If there is, hopefully he drops deader than a doorknob immediately, she inherits everything and we move on, because he crossed the slime line last night. He's lower than slime for bashing his own nephew. Now, will said nephew be found in time to save the day? Maybe Diana will hear his screams...that would be the perfect person to help him kill this wedding.

As for Petey--guess he got that knock in the head he needed? Now this I want to see when he confronts Hair on a Stick. (PLEASE do it with Eloisa in the room....PLEASE!)That tantrum should be an epic one for the ages, by both women.

I thought Rox looked rather nice last night, I mean versus what she had been known to dress like. Her hair was pretty and her whole demeanor is softening a bit. As for Benito, the macho Tee shirt seemed to have affected his brain a bit, but that's just him. At least he's not chasing anything in a skirt anymore while declaring love to someone.

Fi on the other hand looked like someone heading to her execution. Frankly, I couldn't feel sorry for her. She made this bed by her own stubbornness.

Seriously, another Os/Sonia mack fest? The scissors people must really love those two.

Great work, Kat.

Why does anyone put up with Aitana's drama queen crap over a stupid wedding dress? Wait, it's because they all want to believe that Fiorella is garbage.

At last we're at Ground Zero and Pedro has the evidence of the stock scam, which should cause him to cancel the wedding at the altar. I hope he pockets that flash drive and calls a lawyer on his way out. I also hope it's Diana who finds Gianluca. That young chap needs to royally embarrass Vittorio in front of that entire family we haven't yet seen.

Fiorella looked almost embalmed in all that makeup she doesn't need. Vittorio, you are not Barnabas Collins and Fiorella is not Josette. Diana isn't even Angelique and she would be better for you. That coffin can go back to the dealer.

More later.
 

Mille, mille grazie, Diva mia! Love it, girl! Start to finish. An AMEN to this:

With all due respect…screw Fi! I deserve to be happy. Uh…we! We deserve to be happy! And Fi marrying Vitto will not make us happy.

And only one of MANY faves:

But before Luca can actually say anything, the undead arrives, shouting for his bride-to-be.

Diva, you did a masterful job tying this chopped up mish mash together! This was definitely a time-warped episode but anything to get us to some action, for crype's sake!

ITA with all your observations about Dante, supposed head of security in charge of stalking and harrassing one of the maids/personal assistant to Helloisa/flunky/scape goats

Pedro looking as if he was going to believe the Fifi shredding the wedding gown lie

Luca calling Fifi from Vitto's office! Jeeezopete!

At least they made up for the crazy/dizzy editing and frustration in this episode with FINALLY some real evidence of the Benigno scam! How much y'all bet Beggi screams like a b*tch and drags Ass boy into it?

You know what's more likely to happen? Nobody will believe it, Beggi and Wild Thang make up a cover story and Pete bvelieves it for the next 50 episodes. Is there enough time for that? My hopes are NOT up at all!

Thank you, dear Diva!


 

Kat, Friday is always even better after reading your fantastic recaps.

"the undead arrive I mentally kick him in the shins" and "She looks pretty, but in a dead sort of way" (perfect description) were among my favorites.

Finally, Pedro gets a clue! But will he realize what a fool he's been and recover in sufficient time to stop the wedding!

Yes, Vitto's cough certainly seems as though some illness is definitely brewing. Be very careful what you say and wish for...

Roxi is looking softer these days. Well, physically at least. Her hard heart is another story.

And, I'm still interested in Gi and Gael and Benito and Roxi.

And Eloisa's heart to heart with Pedro? As we know, certain species eat their young. No further comment.

daisy, "Hair on a Stick" - too funny.

Diana
 

Diva - Thank you for the snarktastic recap!!!

No one will ever convince me that anyone over the age of fourteen years old wrote or produced this telenovela.

We were out last night and I hope to have time to watch this episode today, after hanging wreaths on windows outside and babysitting. Eh, MIVAC is not at top of my priority list, I wonder why? But I may have to FFWD--> to catch the evolving Roxi. I am still keeping vigil at the Roxi table on the Patio of Lowered Expectations.

Vitto the "undead" has me cracking up. Yes, Patio friends, we have our own version of the Walking Dead!

It should be interesting to see if there is any bodus interruptus for these protags, or if it will all go through. Valgame Dios! or perhaps better said, Valgalos, Dios!


OT - - - Did anyone watch "Telenovela" on NBC this week? I watched the pilot episode and decided MIVAC was better. Aaaaack!
 

Nah, I was watching some good ole boys track various species of Big Foot up in Alaska!

;D
 

When was Aitana in Alaska?

Did I go there? Yeah, I went there.
 

Oh, hot damn! That's a good one! Naw, we didn't set that up, y'all!

Go, Diva! :D
 

Gracias, Daisynjay! I'm definitely going to be disappointed if either wedding happens. Vitto as the character is so disgusting, but what makes it worse is that the actor is putting so little effort into it.

The actors playing Os and Sonia, on the other hand, are bringing it. I wish they weren't, 'cause that's just a bunch of stuff I don't want to see, but I admire their commitment.

Gracias, Urban! OK, fine, some other woman, her wedding dress gets ruined 2 days before the wedding, that probably sucks and she won't find a replacement in time. But Aitana has tons of money! Or is the "wear your mom's dress" supposed to be a clue that no, they don't?

Gracias, Lila! I got my wish :D Pedro makes 1 attempt to uncover a big scam and scores on his first try. Take that, Fed! Plus he's actually smart enough to comprehend what he was reading.

Gracias, Diana! I agree, Roxi is growing on me. And she and Benni are solidly in the second-favorite-couple spot with Gi and Gael in first place. Fi and Pedro who?

Gracias, doris! I can't in good conscience recommend watching without FF>> and even then, only for some of the visuals.
 

Aitana looks more like Swamp Thing, to me, than Bigfoot. It's the hair.....
 

Looks like a Swamp Thing.......
 

OMG-- you guys are dangerous to read while at work. Good thing the place is empty with people using up vacation days. Only one odd side glance by someone walking by with me giggling at my laptop.

Bigfoot?? Holy moly Diva. I can't even. Hey there Sasquatch. Sorry, big guy. No hard feelings I hope.

And UA, you made my old heart happy with the Dark Shadows references. Wish Vitto had the energy of a Barnabas. I agree, the actor is just doing so much shuffling through the role. I know he needs the glasses in real life, but they are getting annoying. I'm a person that loves to see facial expressions from actors...less said, more expressive the face and eyes, the better. Vitto--I got Nada. Like wtching a robot.
Yeah,and Diana is definitely no Angelique. Now, it would have been more fun to have an actress that exuded that type of appeal. This actress just comes off as as Twiggy with an attitude. Every time she tilts her head I want to wrench it back.

TGIF!

Daisynjay


 

Swamp Thing, YES!

Since Aitana's family is supposed to be so rich, she could get another dress the day before. They'd just have to pay 2-3x the price if any alterations are necessary.

Or she could borrow a white hippie-chick dress from Federica, who seems to be dressing a little better lately.

I'm so tempted to race ahead to the wedding day.
 

Daisy, I hit "post" before reading your post.

Does Enrique Rocha actually need dark glasses in real life? I wondered whether Vittorio wears them for the same reason that I heard about Aristotle Onaissis, who knew that one's pupils typically dilate at something they like or approve of. He wanted to keep other people in the dark about that, especially during business negotiations.

Now if there were a latter-day Lara Parker playing Diana that would be better.

And isn't it ironic that a character whose nick would be "Vito" is described here as "undead"?
 

Dodo I'm late and very busy but wanted to give you a shout out Kat. I cheated and read you on my phone right before a meeting, my phone was on mute but I wasn't, oops. Thanks

That rat bastard Vitto only way he could ever win a fight is creaking up behind um.
 

My worst fear is that Vitto will commit the telenovela trope of kidnapping Fi if she backs out of the wedding. and I will throw something at my TV if this happens. I really need to add Nerf balls & Nerf bats to my Xmas wish list. Just sayin' since this thing is barely past the halfway mark. What more tontería can they flog us with to kill ... er ... fill time before the Por Fin?!?

I think the actor who is Vitto has some physical need to wear the dark glasses. Today I caught a rerun of Amores Verdaderos and he had them on. (yeesh,,, and they didn't even show "Soggy Paula" but I digress). Sunglasses aside, this actor is definitely PHONING IT IN in this telenovela. Bah! Humbug! I guess he needs the paycheck, but, still . . . earn it, dude.
 

Barely past the halfway mark? Oh no, Doris, I've been trying not to think of it. Lord, help us!!
 

Vitto used his powers of teleportation to transport himself and Luca back to his office at the restaurant.

Ah yes, the Undead does seem to teleport in aaaamazing ways. At the beginning of this story, the rancho was far away from the city. Now the restaurant and the ranch seem virtually side by side.

Was really scared Vittorio had killed GianLuca last night and this was going to turn into a very dark comedy indeed. Glad it was only a serious conk. Hope our lad hasn't lost his memory.

I agree with everyone that they are making Roxi softer and more attractive since she's become enamorada of Benito. And while I normally loathe Federica,thoroughly enjoyed her goading Aitana last night.

And unlike Rocha, she sure isn't "phoning it in". She manages to drape herself in the most outlandish positions while delivering her lines, but by gawd you never take your eyes off her. Quite the scene stealer.

Not particularly taken with the Julieta romance with Pedro's dad. And don't care for his GrecianFormula 80's look either. He should have a little distinguished gray in his hair and have something to do besides loll around the house and get drunk from time to time. Tedious man.

Oh hell, they're all tedious, but...it's in Spanish, it's in Spanish!
 

Yeah, UA, I did some digging at the start of this show when we were wondering about those glasses, and Rocha does where them in real life. I found several recent interviews where he is wearing them, especially in a brightly lit studio. My guess is he has either extreme photophobia or he has had some cornea and tear issues that have made his eyes more sensitive as he has gotten older. I went to college with a friend who had to wear tinted glasses under white fluorescent lighting...it made his eyes strain and go buggy, leaving him with headaches. Studio lighting is murder, so I could see needing them if you have any kind of issue. Hard to say what exactly is Rocha's issue, but it's valid and they just wrote it into the character.

Daisynjay

 

LaDiva, girl this was hilariously funny. I liked
The snark mix with hilariousness. You make
This fun. You should write comedy.
Now, I don't think any of these wedded blisses will happen. This is what I would have said if I'd had a chance to comment on
Last nites epy. But work took most of the day. And this may not get read, but here it is.
What a beautiful bride fi will be, but a sad one too. Ok now, to wait for tomorrow today.
