Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #87 Monday 12-18-15 (Mex 121) Set ups and Teases
Pedro goes to meet Fiorella at the summit of a hill in the garden. She excitedly shares the pictures we saw her looking at earlier in her bedroom. The little girl, about eight or so, is her; a couple of pictures of her Mother and a picture of her Mother and Father in their youth. She is excited and touched, she feels close to them just looking at the pictures. Once all this exposing and prosecuting of Benigno is over and everybody knows of their love, Pedro wants Fiorella to show him all the places where she grew up. Lots of smiles and kisses.
Sergio pleads with Eloisa not to be so hard on Roxi. Assvaldo and Sonia think Eloisa is right. Eloisa asks for her medicine. Freddie goes to the dining room where Dante is dripping the drops into a glass of water. He gets a phone call and has to leave, asking Freddie to take her the drops. Freddie, of course, puts demon drops of doom into the glass and takes it to Eloisa.
Assvaldo is on the phone talking to Benigno about the horse Pedro is getting and how this will fit into their plan to murder him.
Freddie takes the glass to Eloisa and is about to drink when she interrupts herself to fuss some more about Roxi. Freddie prompts her to go ahead and take her medicine and Eloisa launches into a high-pitched chant about how the glass contains a special tea that Maximo bought for her and doesn't Freddie want to try it? There is a little struggle as Freddie says no and Eloisa even tries to make her drink it and the glass spills. Sergio and Julieta look on, horrified.
Roxi packs and calls a couple of friends looking for a place to crash but they both turn her down. Benito "happens" to be right outside her door, comes in and offers his parent's place. She is grateful he would do that for her after what she did to him the other night. Bennie says he he would do anything for her despite whatever she does to him. He is rewarded with a big hug.
In her bedroom, Eloisa is wearing a blue cape and hat and marching smartly back and forth as she sings a little nursery ditty about an elephant who swung from a spiderweb, found the spiderweb was strong and so enlisted the help of another elephant...I'm sure the pachyderm invited more and more friends as the song went on. Sergio, Freddie and Dr. Elizalde watch this little performance with sadness and alarm. Well, all except Freddie, that is. Eloisa looks at Dr. Elizalde with glee, calls him Papa and then begins to whine for them all to leave her alone with her "Papa." She escorts them out the door and closes it and quickly pulls Dr. Elizalde aside and tells him the craziness is all an act. She produces the glass which still has a bit of the medicine and asks Dr. Elizalde to have it tested because she thinks someone is trying to poison her! Dr. Elizalde's mouth is on the floor and he looks at Eloisa as if she's sprouted another head.
Julieta cries to Sergio about her Daughter. The family that adopted her moved from northern to southern Italy. All she knows is that the man was a lot older than the woman. Santino has stayed back in Italy to see if he can find out more about them.
Pedro and Fiorella are still looking at her pictures. It suddenly dawns on Fiorella that according to the date on the back, January 1991, her mother should be quite pregnant and about to give birth but she is not pregnant on any of the pictures! Pedro speculates that maybe the dates are those of when the pictures were developed versus when they were taken. Fiorella doesn't think so and she agrees with his suggestion to get in touch with her friend, Nicoletta. Nicoletta's Mom had died a few months earlier. Fiorella asks Pedro not to mention this to Gianna.
Julietta is still with Sergio as she gets a text from Santino. It's a picture of the people who adopted her Daughter!
Dr. Elizalde is having trouble believing what Eloisa is saying and offers resistance to every bit of her evidence. She reminds him of how she felt badly and realized it was after taking the medicine and that had never happened before. Then, when Simona mistakenly drank her medicine she passed out immediately. Elizalde thinks that could be a coincidence. Eloisa presses on. When she was pretending to be crazy, Freddie came to her with a will to sign, a will that was totally in her favor, of course. Elizalde says that makes Freddie an opportunist, not that she's trying to poison her. Nevertheless, she has stopped taking any medicine they bring her, only that which she prepares herself, and she feels much better! Eloisa concludes, this is not about her health, it's about her life! Eloisa calls Dr. Elizalde "matasanos" (like "quack", literally, killer of healthy people) and insists he gets the liquid in the glass tested right away! It's an order! Elizalde still looks doubtful [and I don't trust him!]
Pedro and Fifi are getting bolder. He goes to her room and they get in a whole lotta kissin' which inspires Pedro to lock the door and they continue to feed each other kisses, sighs and "I love yous." Pedro tells her he's going to surprise Gianna with a horse so she can go for her therapeutic horsie back rides again. Now, that's such a sweet gesture that it calls for more lip locking!
Aitana, Benigno and Assvaldo finalize the plans for taking Pedro out. It will take place in the morning: they're going to use a dog attack to spook the horse and throw Pedro to his death, probably hitting his head on the famous, well-placed novela rock of doom.
Roxi accepts Benni's offer on three conditions: One, don't tell anyone, not out of embarrassment, she just doesn't want the family to come looking for her; two, help her to leave without anyone knowing she doesn't want any more indignities and humiliation; and three, she doesn't want to suffer seeing Benni's Dad walking around in his underwear! Wonk! Wonk!
Vitto continues reacting to having been taken to the cleaners. Diana thinks it could have been hackers. Vitto thinks not: his passwords were used and all of his accounts emptied. He will, of course, involve the police. Oh, woe is him! He's lost everything! First, the woman he loves and now everything he worked so hard to build since he left Italy!
Fiorella runs into Julieta in the hallway. Literally. The photos of Fiorella's parents spill all over the floor and Julieta helps her pick them up.
Gael is meeting with Alina and tells her he didn't have a relapse but was drugged against his will. He wonders if the mysterious texter who claimed to want to help him with his addiction problem could actually be the drug dealing dudes from the party's boss! Gael feels trapped! Alina offers to meet with and talk to the mysterious texter (aka Papi Chulo).
Julieta asks who the people in the picture are and she says they are her family. Julieta picks up one picture and asks if that is Fiorella's Mother. Julieta compares it to the picture she just sent to her by Santino. Julieta gives Fiorella a strange look. Fiorella asks her if anything is wrong. Julieta denies anything is wrong, she had just been looking at an old photo of some people she wants to contact. She congratulates Fiorella on having such a beautiful Mother but notes she doesn't look much like her. Fiorella thinks she looks more like her Father. Julieta is clearly disquieted and stares after Fiorella departs.
Coo coo-ness ensues as Benni arrives at his Parent's home with Roxi. Rey thinks he's won a bet that they've been kicked out of the ranch already! Bennie tells them it was over a party, not his proposal, which Roxi accepted. He tells Roxi he'll describe why he's lying later. Adela openly moans that now Roxi will have to live on Benni's paltry salary, she'll be popping out baby after baby, she'll get fat. . .Rey warns Roxi that his wife buys cheap toilet paper but if she wets it first. . . .now Bennie looks horrified and we know how desperate Roxi must be because she agrees to stay!
Small skirmish between Freddie and Pedro. He openly tells her he saw a will in Eloisa's room that names her as the majority benefactor. Freddie, of course, denies any knowledge of how it got there. Well, Eloisa says she has no idea, either. Pedro tells Freddie that Eloisa is not in any condition to sign anything and he's going to meet with a lawyer to make sure that, until she is well, her signature on ANYTHING will be invalid. He warns her to be careful, she's treading on thin ice! After Pedro goes back into the study, closing the door on her face, Freddie gripes to Dante they've got to hurry up and get Eloisa to sign before Pedro ruins everything!
Fiorella and her friend, Nicoletta, have a chat session over the computer. Fiorella outlines her confusion over her Mother not being pregnant in photographs clearly marked with a date which indicates she should have been quite pregnant, and nearly due. She asks Nicoletta to go to the hospital in Maratea and see if she, Fiorella, is registered on the date of her birth.
Benigno and Assvaldo meet with the owner of the dog to finalize the hit. Dog man can't promise that Pedro will die when he's thrown from the horse and suggests they stage a robbery. Why, he even has a friend who will shoot Pedro for much less than he's paying them! Gee, what a sport! Nope. Too suspicious. Assvaldo wants the dog job and Benigno emphasizes that the dog's attack on the horse must be accurate and violent!

Have at it!
One of those TN's where the writers don't seem to be a fan of anyone in the medical profession. So Eloisa has been acting up, but honestly, the doctor knows, or should know, there were health issues happening. Of course, the fact our dear Simonetta was not taken to the hospital when she passed out comes into play. Ha! You old bat, if you cared about your servants and got her the right help maybe this could have been solved already.
Do not hook Alina up with Mr. Gorgeous Eyes!!! I don't trust these writers when they put people in the same room.
I giggled reading the evil minion's plot for Pedro. A dog will scare him and voila, he will of course die when falling off the horse. Are the going to strategically place boulders around? A good fall will be bad, but assuming it kills...Asshat is definitely not the brightest bulb. Wonder if Sonia will thwart the plan.
And honestly, just spill the marriage already.
Daisynjay
"demon drops of doom" and "Coo coo-ness ensues" were but a few of my favorites.
It appears I missed a lot including a lame brained plot to kill Pedro, Roxi's banishment and Julieta getting closer to realizing who Fiorella is...
Benito is a sweetheart. He is treating Roxi so much better than she deserves! What a good heart he has. It is only his mouth that gets him into trouble! I do not know what he was thinking proposing to Roxi the way he did! But let's face it, Roxi is not ready for the life she would have with Bennie (I'm sure the toilet paper was an eye opener for her - can't say I would have been thrilled with that either and I am hardly a snob :))
Looking forward to seeing "Mr. Gorgeous Eyes" (good one daisy!) and agree, would like to see him with someone worthy!
Poor Vitto! Too sad...(eye roll)
Thank you Lila!
Diana
The second thing that will merit a bold, all caps scream is if Pedro goes to Aitana's house and ends up physically harmed in some way or featured in a selfie, nekkid and drugged and in bed with Aitana! Surely they wouldn't do this! The fact that Fidel suggested he go to Aitana's must mean he surely will! GAH!!!! Fairy GodFather is starting to get on my nerves!
And honestly, just spill the marriage already.
Amen!
Oh, Diana, I can just see the stage is being set for shenanigans galore. Even though I think Pedro should come clean about his marriage to Fiorella, I love that they are united and lovey dovey and dread another major misunderstanding between the two! NOOOOO!
"demon drops of doom"
Wait a minute, of all the people Eloisa could pay to confirm her hunch, it's this dumb arse doctor?
Why did Elosia really throw Roxy out? Is she no longer a suspect, the prime suspect, punishing her for the relationship with Benito or does she know Max is her father?
You know, I cannot tell if Juliana had a light bulb moment or not. She smiles, she frowns, surprise, angst, anger, her face doesn't move.
I stand corrected in believing Fifi a total idiot, she can count past 20 and rules out needing her fingers and toes.
Maybe, just maybe Gael gets to talk with daddy through Alina but why is this so important to the story and so friggin hard?
I am just enjoying the heck out of El's game of deception.
I don't know why El threw Rox out. I think the reason must be deeper than just having a party, which El already knows that she is a party animal, so why the eruption over where the party is held?
Don't feel a bit sorry for Vitto. Maybe he'll marry Diana now that he's broke so she can take care of him.
Osvaldo comes up with the dumbest schemes. How did someone as smart and attractive as Sonia is wind up with him? Oh, and a rare comment on clothing from me: I really liked her outfit that showed her belly button.
Thanks again, Lila.
David
I'm enjoying Fi and Pedro being happy together and sharing info with each other. Still don't get why they have to keep their marriage secret, but their relationship won't be secret for long if they keep going around smooching all the time all over the place.
Tofie- I couldn't quite tell if Juli really truly had a light bulb moment either. Guess we'll have to wait till she has her next pow wow with Sergio.
I don't trust that stupid doctor.
David- I was admiring Sonia's belly baring outfit too, but because I'm very impressed with her abs.
tofie, giggling low in the office, (why I don't know--noone is here) over your Julietta comment. I guess when they have their big mother/daughter reveal, Fi will make up for both with the faces and emotions. Who knows, maybe Julietta's hair will get mussed a bit.
I think Sour Apple Granny, seeing what Freddie is up to, is looking at everyone with a sharper eye. She's not seen a "soft" side of Roxi, only the brat who sides with Freddie and equally made fun of her when she was faking her dementia. Throwing the party to Eloisa, however we see it, was disrespectful to her simply because she was ill. Like the vultures were already blowing the cash and having a party thinking she wouldn't know anymore.
Daisynjay
I really like that Eloisa's being so clever about figuring out the drops drama, but it also annoys me that it's Eloisa. I love "demon drops of doom"! Do they come in fun flavors? "Elizalde still looks doubtful [and I don't trust him!]" I agree.
"Why, he even has a friend who will shoot Pedro for much less than he's paying them! Gee, what a sport!" IKR! Nicest criminal ever! And way smarter than Os and Benigno.
Yeah, so, um, suddenly Fi has a BFF in Italy? Riiiiiiight.
So tired of Vitto. Why is he still here?
I share your annoyance that Fidel is suggesting Pedro get anywhere near Aitana.
You know what, I have often wondered if maybe Eloisa does know that Roxi is Max's. We did hear her talking to Aitana about Max as if she didn't suspect but the old girl is pretty sharp. I just don't know!
You know, I cannot tell if Juliana had a light bulb moment or not. She smiles, she frowns, surprise, angst, anger, her face doesn't move.
Yah! I really thought the penny would drop and there would be an emotional "MY BABY" moment with Julieta grabbing Fiorella and dissolving in a puddle of tears. But, nada!
In our other separated parent and child story, I'm with you, Tofie. Why IS the Gael/Papi Chulo story so important? Maybe it's just something to entertain us while they drag the Petey/Fifi/ACorp story slooooowly along!
David! Mille grazie, fratello! Man, I was cracking up at Assvaldo's doggie bites the horsie and Petey bites the dust scheme! Stooopid! And he was looking so eevil and smug and pleased with himself. What an idiot!
Hmmm. . .abs like Sonia's...sounds like a New Years Resolution. . .first I have to eat up all the chocolate I got for Christmas!
;D
You know what, Julieta's reaction, now that I think about it, was akin to horror as she compared Fiorella's Mom's picture to the picture Santino sent her. Weird.
Vitto and Pedro + Aitana are just two plot devices that can just GO AWAY!!!
The horses are getting the shaft in this production. So many people who allegedly love to ride, but they rarely get on horseback. Yet another reason the "plan" makes no sense. Why assume that just because Pedro is buying a horse that means he's going to ride it? If we knew that Pedro rides daily or something, then that would be a logical assumption, but he doesn't! And if he did, then they could pull this stupid plan anytime. *sigh* Sorry, sorry, I'm thinking too much!
I’ve got to see that “wet the toilet paper first” scene. Usually the stuff gets a bit weak when it is wet …..? Do they use a mister/spray bottle? Inquiring minds are shaking their heads and thinking --- QTH?
”Pedro tells her he's going to surprise Gianna with a horse so she can go for her therapeutic horsie back rides again. “
So do we think the murder plan will hurt Gi instead of Pedro? Will the vicious dog know the difference? Gaaaaah.
tofie said --- ”You know, I cannot tell if Juliana had a light bulb moment or not. She smiles, she frowns, surprise, angst, anger, her face doesn't move.”
And her wig never moves, either. I swear she looks like Elvira. There was one really low-cut dress Ju had on, recently, that made me think of Morticia Addams.
Pedro, do NOT go to Aitana's house. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

Daisynjay - we saw SW-TFA last week. Loved it! Got to see it again! Better than any telenovela I've seen in ages. May the force be with you.
;D
So do we think the murder plan will hurt Gi instead of Pedro? Will the vicious dog know the difference? Gaaaaah.
Oh, no! That's a possibility and it's collateral damage Assvaldo wouldn't mind one bit!
Yes! Julieta DOES look just like Elvira AND Morticia Adams! That's great!
These silly people. At least I'm looking forward to it tonight!
I hadn't thought about horse and Gia and doggie and wrong person hitting the ground. But that sounds about right in this show. I think Asshat would be pissed though because though he doesn't like Gia, he needs to get Pedro off the scene a lot faster. His brain would have to come up with a whole different plan. Poor man can only take so much thinking.
I'm going out on a limb and hoping that with all the smooching and talking Petey and Fi are doing, if he gets "snapped" or trapped precariously with the walking hairball, Fi won't take the bait, she'll know better. If she doesn't, and she believes it right off, then the writers are just throwing cliches at that fake wall to drag this out.
Vitto is still around because he still is privy to the secret on Fi's background and parents and Di has seen that letter. And to get Anibal back in jail...which is so a "who cares" plot point anymore.
Daisynjay
I don't like vitto, but he shouldn't loose his
Livelyhood. He's an old man, he work a lot of years to make his money. Something that ol
Scumbbag anihole don't know nothing about,
Hard work. Yeah he done fi wrong, but I hope
He gets his money back, and anihole goes
Back to jail, where he never should have left.
That young woman In the photo that was with child, was that giana she was carrying?
Gi wasn't here yet but fi was a baby while gi
Was still en vitro? Im just guessing. Am I way off base or what?
No pedro is not stealthy enough to snoop in
Anyones house. The man is too honest. Plus,
He'd get caught.
Granny got her game on. She should know that freddy is the one whoes tryin to off her.
She wouldn't drink the monkey juice freddy
Brung her when she tried to get her to take a
Sip.
I really hope gi isn't on that horse when the dog guy sends the doggy out to upset the horsey.
I know this comment is late but I just wanted to get my two cents in. :-D
Thanks again Lila.
Good night folks. Well, I dont think that the horse and dog plan is not that dumb, maybe it is not the best idea and obviously pietro is not gonna die because he is the galan but at least everybody is gonna think that what happened it was a simple accident.
Nobody would think that it was an attempted murder and neither that Asshat was behind it. Maybe what the guy suggested of a robbery would be more effective but it would involve a police investigation and Asshat had enough with it when he shooted Pietro. And by the way, the writers left uncloncluded that situation. It was supposed that Asshat had to declare and we never saw that.
The woman in the picture is not pregnant at all, that's the problem: Fiorella must have been born somewhere between January and March or so of 1991 because Fiorella was confused as to why her Mother was NOT pregnant in the picture. Fiorella said her Mother should have been VERY pregnant with her and near the point of delivery. Fiorella was so concerned she chatted with her friend back in Italy and asked her to check the hospital in her home town to see if her birth was registered.
