Yo No Creo en los Hombres #101 Thursday 12/3/15 Family Trees and Histories
Labels: no-creo
I wonder where Arango was going with, "MALENY, SUELTA ESA PISTOLA!"
-Encaje Rojo
I am going to enjoy doing the aftermath of this one and I'm grateful for the extra time to do it. I'm going to a major double feature on Sunday.
The whole notion of Marta having been Isela's mother isn't anything new, but it doesn't seem to jive with the established story. This doesn't sound like it would have been an easy thing to conceal considering that Honoria already knew that Hosefa wasn't Isela's mother. How could have this been concealed? Did he leave, drag Marta with him, come back to dump off Isela? This sounds more like a situation where Hosefa should have thrown him out upon discovery. Also, if Honoria knew the real deal, why didn't she tell the rest of the story? That doesn't make sense.
It also doesn't jive with the way Hosefa has treated Isela and apparently worshipped Marta. But Hosefa is a sick b***h.
Maleny's suicide will have an interesting aftermath. I wonder whether Danny-Boy will rat out Mama Bear over it because I'm prepared to say -- based on how I saw this -- that her actions qualify as murder.
The reveal about Isela being the product of child sexual abuse suffered by Marta at the hands of her stepfather was shocking. Is it true? Did Jo just make it up to keep Isela (her granddaughter) tied to her while torturing her at the same time? Isela is going to have to investigate. A DNA test with Jo, perhaps. And Alma did say she would help her find her patents.
Meanwhile, looks like Clod may be able to do some good bringing that warden down, and helping MD at the same time as cracking the mystery of what really happened to Marta in jail. That would be a better use of his time, and might earn him back a tiny bit of respect from Max.
And the most shocking event of the night. Maleny. They just kept ramping up the tension and emotion in that room. I don't know what to think any more about who shot Hector. Ursula didn't waver from her story once- not even a bit. But Arango was yelling at her to tell Mal the truth. What is the truth?! Will we ever know, now that the only person who was looking for the truth is dead?
What a sad, empty existence Mal had.
Goodness, though Maleny has become more frantic and suicide seems a logical ending to her tortured life this is another outcome I flat didn't contemplate. Ursula's face as she showed faux angst and shedding faux tears repeating her damn lie right to the end.
Claudio continues to use any convenient excuse to be near Isela. So what Alma told him to the skunk should be with his dying wife.
I already suspected Marta was Isela's mother but who and where is her father?
If there is anything real about Mama Bear's anguish it's about the aftermath. There are three eyewitnesses to this who could describe her flat affect as she drove Maleny to taking her own life. If Arango survives this he has tons of dirt on Ursula. If Ursula kills him in the next episode Danny-Boy could turn on her anytime before the end because probably only Arango and Mama Bear know the entire truth about Hector's death.
If she kills Jacinto that would not surprise me because she has to know that he likes to blackmail people.
She's not going to have a good time covering this up, either. I also wonder whether her anguish is about no longer having a punching bag.
I'm trying to figure why is Nayeli so prominent in the story now, is there some connection or just my active imagination.
Claudio should already have offered his help to get MD out of jail. He's given advise to Max but he could get her out just as he did Dan and the man that stabbed his own son. Max shouldn't have to ask.
Speaking of being imprisoned, Isela suggested to Jo that she might be doing her a favor by sending her to prison, because if she ends up in the same one as Marta, Jo might actually have a chance to find what happened to her and get her revenge. Thought I saw a flicker of an idea pass across Jo's face.
As for Maleny and Danny-Boy struggling over the gun, the flashback does not indicate this. Meleny was standing in front of her father at the time of the gunshot and she saw his face as the bullet hit.
When did Isela find out that Hosefa was the one who tried to kill Leo? I don't remember that part. And now would be a great time to call the police and rat her out over this.
Of course as soon as this revelation comes to light the Moraleses should wash their hands of Isela.
Urban- Honoria might be telling the truth as far as she knows. Josefa might have hidden Marta away for a time, and when the baby was born, Josefa told Honoria and Fermin (the only other of the current hood folks who were around back then) that her husband dumped his love child on her doorstep and took off. For all we know, Jo might have murdered him when she found out what he had done to Marta, and then just told everyone he ran off with his lover.
Isela found out it was Josefa who tried to kill Leo pretty much as soon as she did it. At the time, Josefa was really bothered that Leo was around the hood, and able to see/tell the truth of things Isela was lying about to Claudio. Josefa wanted him out of the way. Isela correctly guessed that Jo would have been the only one to try to hurt Leo and Jo admitted it to her, with no remorse. It also had the dual benefit to Jo of getting Leo out of the way for a long while, and getting Orly into financial and legal trouble, since he was responsible for Leo as his boss, and Orly was distracting Isela from her mission at the time.
I thought that maybe Josefa and Isela (and Marta?) moved to the vecindad at some point after Isela was born and maybe Josefa shared with Honoria in a moment of pain. Honoria certainly came MD and Isela were there because they mention it in the flashback of the girls playing with Espy's veil.
Cookie - I also still think Dan did it. Looking forward to that flashback already, so we can finally see how it really went down.
Yes, I was also surprised Mal committed suicide now rather than closer to FIN.
In view of what she already knows and because of her own betrayal of MD, Isela deserves an anvil of her own. However, I want her to take Hosefa down before that happens. She has suffered the worst from a woman who now claims to be her grandmother and deserves the satisfaction of taking her down before taking her own punishment.
That sadistic prison guard probably isn't smart enough to realize that Max is Claudio's son, so MD will suffer more before she gets out.
Despite that Susanna is the occasional voice of reason, Ivana should have banished her from her life ages ago. Her attempt at dissuading Ivana from going to a surrogate is clearly a ploy to stay in her life and use her biological connexion to the hypothetical baby to ride roughshod over Ivana for the rest of her own life.
Too bad Gerry did turn out to be gay, but I'm annoyed that we can't figure out whether the writers intended that from Day One or not.
I watch on Hulu and they always title each episode. This one is titled Trágica Muerte, and I figured that MD lost the baby. But when I saw Maleny with the gun, then I knew it was going to be her killing herself. I do believe that Ursula was lying and will lie to the very end to protect Dan. Now the only way we will know who did it is if Dan has a flashback, or we overhear Arango and Ursula talking about it.
How can MD be writhing in such pain and the baby be ok?
What is taking Ivana so long to make her statement?
I was confused when the guard came in and told the warden what happened. Dan was mentioned first but was there anything said that justified why Dan had access to MD after visiting hours over?
I think, "Mommy and Daddy were best friends who wanted a child to love so much, that a nice lady (surrogate) helped us fulfill our dream, and you were born", would be a MUCH easier story to tell a kid.
Thanks Hellashelle, so they mentioned Santibanez but mentioned Bustamante, her lawyer, having visited first.
Corina and guess the guard and warden assumed Daniel her partner and Max only her attorney. Sounds like Dan can come anytime he wants if MD keeps quiet.
If the warden knows that Max is Claudio's son MD might catch a break.
I kind of liked Maleny. She was a mess, a liar, and manipulator, but she had a wicked sense of humor (for example, her asking Ivana how Gerry was en la cama) and I did like her sleuthing what really happened with her dad. Too bad she couldn't stand up to Ursula's abuse.
Josefa's tale. If I’m remembering correctly a flashback of Isela with her sister, they weren’t that far apart in age. If Josefa’s story is true, it seems the sister was pregnant at age 12-13. Would Josefa not have pressed charges of child sexual abuse? On the other hand, Josefa's meanness to Isela could've come from her hatred of the rapist/husband. Maybe, like the prison Abuela cautioned MD, Isela resembles the rapist in looks or gestures.
It is consistent with MD not to tell Max and if she doesn't what a shame.
I will miss Maleny too she was my favorite character.
O.M.G. That's all I have right now. Two BIG BOMBAS in the same episode. No sooner than I absorb Isela's Chinatown paternity than I get Maleny's final solution to her self-torture.
You did it with style and compassion. Gracias.
To me, Ursula is responsible for Maleny's suicide. Maleny spent the last seconds of her life convinced her really did kill her father. Her blood is on Ursula's hands.
I'm wondering if Claudio knows how corrupt Marcia is and tried to investigate her previously. Maybe he's won a lot of cases against her or something.
I do think Josefa told Isela the truth. It is an unfortunate situation. Who knows what happened to Josefa's husband. If he died it makes me wonder if Josefa had anything to do with it.
I guess I'll rewatch the end of the episode tonight. I thought Maleny was sitting all by herself when she turned the gun on herself and gave her swan-song speech before pulling the trigger.
Ursula's guilty of Maleny's death, just as she was guilty of Hector's death. She was goading him into committing suicide (we all saw that). There was a gun there. She called him a coward. It had to be one of three people left alive--Arango, Ursula or Daniel who shot him. Can't wait to find out.
She would never have killed Hector and blamed Daniel. For Maleny not to have done it and to have been blamed, either Ursula or Daniel would have had to have committed the deed. Arango was a likely witness to the deed. The rest came into the scene after the fact.
I'm content with either one actually pulling the trigger. I feel sorry for Daniel, if he was the one. He's been consumed by demons and a smothering, manipulative, evil mother all his life.
Maybe difficult one to recap.
I didn't like maleny but I certainly didn't want
Her to off herself, especially when the reason
Maybe a lie. Until I hear different, I don't believe she killed her dad. That woman that calls herself a mother is a compulsive liar. And this sick obsession she has with danny.
To literally push her daughter to suicide is just beyond reprehensible. And the heffa will
Carry on with her plan to steal md's baby. I
Really want to see the web of lies they'll spend to cover this up. Just sad. Ursula will
Probably die a horrible death at the end of this drama. As she should.
Ivana don't want a stranger to carry her baby
So thats her excuse for buying md's baby.
Shes worried about the child turning out like
Her aunt. Really?
What If he turns out to be like dear ol dad?
Shes really full of it.
Honoria will probably try to fight julians will.
Shes just that angry and mean enough. She and josefa Should be best buds now, they both want to Avenge their children. What a mess!!! I get a Brake from this horror show over the long cold wet weekend.
As cold as this weather is, the snow is more
Warmer than Ursula. Really, the woman Is the Walkin dead. Is arango growin a conscious? He told ursey to tell mal the truth.
Of course that doesn't mean he has a conscience. Stay tuned.
Sophie Alexander was riveting as Maleny. A complete scene stealer even when the scenes weren't focused on her. The nervous awkward body language, so beautifully portrayed the broken tortured soul. BRAVA!
I guess I was the only one not surprised Gerry was gay? I never saw anything that indicated he was into Ivana in a sexual or romantic way. I'm just sorry he wasted most of his energy on Ivana's 24/7 pity party. I would have loved to see him have a relationship with someone who would have truly appreciated him. His friendship with Ivana was great, but I always felt it more one sided with him constantly giving to her.
I still get the feeling Josefa isn't telling the complete truth about Isela's paternity. I guess we'll find out soon enough. I just hope Isela's baby isn't the next target by Josefa. The woman is evil.
I don't understand MD's cramping...yet her baby is ok? Why is there no doctor in the prison?
Movies in the meantime.
As for md's cramping, she was hit with a big
Black stick accross the stomach, it seems she should have miscarried, she should have miscarried a few episodes back but this is TV so some of this stuff isn't reality some of it is,
her not miscarrying after all the stuff she has been through while she's pregnant, that's not reality.
There are 20 episodes left, meaning there are 4 weeks left.
Actually MD NOT losing the baby is very atypical of tns, where usually the slightest bit of stress causes a woman to miscarry or nearly miscarry (see the last episode of Pasion y Poder).
Things started going wrong when Ursula couldn't get Dan interested in Ivana without some blackmail scheme and was furious when she found out he was consorting with a penniless girl from a poor neighborhood.
Tofie--it could very well be that Dan started going off the rails when he WASN'T able to have his way with MD at the guest house. All the time before the story started, he'd been the gentleman, biding his time. It was after that, that he started scheming and obsessing over MD and planned the fake wedding. He was going to have her one way or the other. Mama stepped in and ruined it all. It's possible Dan never had any intention of marrying her the first time around, but when he agreed to a church wedding, I think he either wanted MD for real, or it was to spite Ursula.
It's the beginning of the end for them. Someone in that room is going to start cracking up because of witnessing Maleny blowing her brains out in front of them. And by someone, I mean Dannyboy.
Ivana better jump off the Santibanez Ship instead of thinking she can game them or she will be going down right along with them.
Arango will probably end up disabled for some reasonable period of time if he doesn't lose that leg altogether. If Jacinto has any sense he'll run and get out of town, but I doubt it. I also hope he doesn't because he has several anvils waiting in the wings.
1. Since Arango told Ursula to 'just tell her the truth', means to me, at least, that Maleny didn't kill her father ??? Ursula knew that Maleny wouldn't have the guts to pull the trigger on anyone but herself, so she just kept goading her on until she got the end result she wanted--Maleny out of the way ?????
2. Which one is the truth ??? Is Isela the daughter of Marta (thus the grandaughter of Josefa), or the cast off from her father (Josefa's Partner) and his lover, or did Partner sexually abuse Marta resulting in Isela????
We should take votes IMHO. :::
A. Who is the daddy of MD's baby - Daniel or Max ???
B. What's up with Isela and how did she come about. ???
C. Who really killed Hector ???
D. Who killed Marta. / How did she die ???
Rats, tonight's exciting episode will be recapped by Urban (you go girl!!) and posted immediately after, Hulu will upload it hours/days later?
As to your question about Isela's mother's identity, we don't know if Hosefa is telling the truth. She mixes in just enough truth with her lies that we will wonder about this until it is proven. Isela should demand a DNA test to see if she shares any DNA with Hosefa. That will show if this is the case.
Thanks for answering my questions. I'll post the voting question after watching tonight's episode to see if we should take votes as we did with LQLVMR and MCET.
