Antes Muerta que Lichita #75 1/8/16... The pot gets hotter about Alicia and Augie-evil in US and the gossip spreads like fire via cell phones at the Mex office.

Aug-evil is trying to booze-out Alicia… She talks while half-dazed about deserving the position she is in… HE reminds her she almost married Alex for corporate ladder climbing… She keeps talking some nonsense.
At church, Alex walks away but Bea catches him to call him on listening to her confession. He is not happy hearing that his dad is cheating on his mom and his mom is playing the social sweep under rug strategy.
Back to Alicia and Aug-evil… She does not like that he cheats on Mrs Bea.  He keeps talking like none of this matters one iota to him.  He claims that he can set apart professional and personal relationships.  The subject of Sandra comes up.  Alicia won’t deny her professional talents but… (yeah BIG BUTT!!) 
She is wabbly and he has to catch her from falling. HE keeps trying to embrace her… ends up holding her face in his hands… and walks her to the bedroom (a little too touchy-feely if you ask me).  She slams the door on his face (unknowingly from her boozed status).  But from the last take of her face, we know she is at least partially aware of what is going on.
The priest and Daphne join the conversation betweek Alex and her.  Bea figures out that Alex being there is also something Daphne coordinated.  So the new plan of Daphne’s also involving the priest also failed.
Brisa and Braulio are in the apt…  She sits on his lap (that did hurt him).  They are planning on a new retreat/seminar… when she brings up that it will be more like a sex therapy course, he is instantly interested.
Roberto and Gumaro in apt…  They are talking about SHeyla’s whereabouts… Roberto has paperwork that shows Mateo has not left the country at any time.  He assumes she could have figured out a way to get someone else to take Mateo up to US. 
Brisa and Braulio are still dealing with her ex-roomie/ex-bf.  Braulio is holding the door and preventing the other guy from coming in.   Braulio and Brisa continue arguing whether the other guy can come in. 
Back in US… Augie-evil is still trying to get in Alicia’s room knocking on door. HE laughs it out that she fell asleep…  He gets a phone call from Bea… She demands he come back home ASAP.  HE is not happy.  She threats him that she will sue him so bad that he will end up pennyless if he does not return YESTERDAY.

Daphne asks Alex if Bea will do anything different. Alex reminds Daphne that Bea needs them now more than ever. She has to feel their support someway.
Magos is nagging about the ‘suit-worthy’ outfit her mom seems to have bought her.  Elsa tells Magos to realize just how much effort it takes to go as far as her sister has.  Elsa gives Magos her blessing… hoping she will get a good result.
Bea talks to Roberto. He notes she does not look good. She looks very stressed/anxious.  Bea asks Roberto if he knew about the existence of a subsidiary of the company in US. 
Magos meets with her friends… seems the ‘interview’ is a presentation at school instead of an official interview.  OOOKKKKK!!! This turns out to be one of these scams for financial prosperity that scam money out of you.  The guy even has a song for them to learn, along with choreography for ‘SUCCESSFUL FOLKS! WE ARE WINNERS!’ (Triunfadores, somos ganadores!!)
At US, Augie-evil continues to scare Alicia.  They are ready to go to the office. She is surprised he has to go back to Mexico immediately.  She is in shock at the change of plans… he finds it amusing, asks ‘what can we attribute your facial expression to?’
Bea gets Roberto to agree to go to Iconika US and investigate what is going on there.  HE asks if she wants him to just investigate the existence of the company or find out about something else?
At US, Augie-evil keeps laughing and is very entertained about Alicia trying to ignore any secondary agenda of his.  HE keeps reminding her that she used to be engaged to his son Alex… (OK, we know that. Can we move on?)  He keeps talking about the great future they have together as a team. Big leagues!!  She finally gets a chance to leave… he stares at her shoes… (MMM??? ‘EL SYcko if you ask me)
Braulio and Brisa keep arguing about whether it is their responsibility to help her ex-bf cured from his drinking.
Elias promises Roberto that if he finds out anything else about the ‘ghostly’ Iconika USA, he will let him know.
Sandra’s cell phone rins but she won’t answer, she rants that if she is supposedly on a trip, she should be left alone.
Alicia is very distracted at the office… the two people who work with her notice.  The Cuban guy comments with the other lady that there is a rumor that the plan is to bring all business from Iconika Mex up to the US (and close the Mex office, I guess). Alicia is very surprised to hear that. The woman says until we hear it is official, we should not talk about the rumor. (not clear whether she knows anymore).
Augie-evil arrives home and Bea sermons him about how much she used to love him when they first married.  She has done a lot of thinking and she has decided that they should get divorced. He is flabbergasted.
Roberto on cell with Gumaro from airport.  Roberto wants GUmaro to find any evidence/info at the mansion.  Gumaro says it will be difficult, like looking for a bee in a beehive, a needle in a haystack, or a bedbug in a mattress… (LOL!) Roberto tells him he is guessing Bea wants him to confirm whether Alicia and Augie-evil are together. 
Augie swears to Bea that the few little escapades he has had are few and far between and meaningless.  She calls him a jerk. She knows Alicia is his lover and dares him to deny it. He swears in the name of God. She calls his blasphemy. She does not want to see that ‘ho’ in MY agency. IF you sent her far away, let her stay there.  Augie asks and tickles her into telling him who is her ‘little birdy’ source of info.
Again more arguing between Brisa and Braulio about dumb-x-bf. Dumb-x-bf asks Brisa to give him a massage. (Ok now that does it, I am on Braulio’s side!)  Brisa says she has given him a massage many times.  Braulio is shocked (I would be too!)
Augie-evil and Bea continue their argument. ‘I am a man! – thus I am excused! (yeah right!)’  He then suggests he and her take a trip to reignite their passion. She turns into a cold block of ice. She just says she has to think things through.  Bea leaves. Augie guesses right that Sandra had the guts/daring mind to tell Bea.
Fatima tells Elias she knows nothing about the Iconika US.  Elias doubts she had no knowledge of it.  He asks if Sandra would know. Fatima tells him that would be something only Sandra could tell him.  Elias warns Fatima he will stand here until she tells him. Fatima just says ‘you will get tired of standing’.
Luciana runs into Augie-evil at the house. She is surprised to find him home.  He says he hopes she is not part of the team of people who are trying to harm him. He then asks about her husband. She tells him he is in Monterrey about something related to API.  HE is surprised and leaves irritated.  
Back to the scam self-prosperity-help seminar.  The guy says ‘I can see you all rich!’  Again he wants them to dance… TRIUNFADORES!! GANADORES!!  … ok lets see the guy do some break-dance…  WAIT! WOW!! Now the guy pulls out a bottle of perfume!! So on top of a bad script, now it turns out to be an ordinary cleaning products company with a product line complete enough to include even a potato peeler!!  But… Stop the presses!!! Magos stands up and calls the guy on the fraud pyramid scam.  Jerrys tries to stop her. But she insists on calling the bluff/fraud on the guy. The guy tries to ignore her and get the group’s attention again.
SHushette and Nestor converse at office. She warns him that Roberto will find out about his scam.  (??)  Fatima comes in to tell them that the new client is here.  Nestor will attend them since Roberto and Alicia are not around so he is next in charge…  Then he mocks Fatima a little bit and insists she let the client in.  Luciana comes in and SHushette and Nestor are acting like high school bffs.
Magos insists on calling the guy’s fraud.  The guy confronts Magos back. They begin the 3 steps forward then 3 steps back dance.  Even Jerrys tries to avoid it from escalating.
Braulio ends up reluctantly having to pay for the Doctor’s house call to the drunk-ex-bf.  Brisa asks her ex to take his drinking problem seriously. Braulio jumps on that wagon too.  The guy then tells her he even lost his job.  (lets cry a river for the guy!!)
Luciana came in the office only to say hi to her friends… AND… to tell them all about the latest gossip… this SECRET is VERY SECRET…  the receptionists are receiving messages about the gossip of Augie and Lichita being together… 
Nestor and the other guys also receive the same message.  They comment that Alicia turned out to be a climber… Even SHushette and other ladies at work do the same… all dirty-talk about Alicia.
At hotel suite, the button guy has brought Roberto up to the same suite that Alicia and Augie-evil are staying at.  Roberto sees the mess, including a shoe of Alicia’s on the table.  Of course he gets worried. ‘It can’t be, Alicia! … No!...’
SHushette and Luciana talk… Shushette asks Luciana where she got the idea that her uncle and Alicia are together.  Luciana says now everyone will find out the kind of woman Lichicienta is… and why she climbed to where she is at the company.   Shushette attempts to fake a little political ethics saying ‘don’t judge what you are not seeing’. 
Fatima comes to get Luciana to go to a conference.
At suite, Roberto talks to the button guy… Roberto gets the guy to give him the address that the taxi took Alicia to.
At office, Alicia asks the Cuban guy and the lady about the gossip they were talking about regarding Iconika ‘moving’ to the US.  Alicia thanks them.  She is about to get some copies of documents. But she runs into Roberto, who asks very coldly ‘SO! Is this the Iconika US office?’  She predictably asks what he is doing there.

Previews: Alicia finds out about the gossip going around the Mex office. Also the VO guy mentions someone arriving on Monday that will make an impression on Alicia.  (is this Gabriel Soto’s character?)

Thanks, Marta. The recap was marvy especially "Aug-evil."

Maybe there is hope for Magos: she did recognize a fraud scheme even when she wasn't implementing one of her own.

Yes, it did seem Alicia was more in control than we thought when she conveniently closed the bedroom door on Augusto's nose.

I sure hope Beatriz pursues a divorce sooner rather than later (BEFORE Roberto is installed at API) and does not choose the promise if a roll in the hay with Augusto instead.







 

Thank you Marta.....Antes muerta was pre-emptied by El Chapo tonight. So appreciate your recap.
 

Should be pre-empted. Love auto correct!!
 

I was lucky here: "Antes muerta. . ." came on at regular time cutting the news coverage short. The Univisión 6:00 pm central offering got cut.
 

Hey Marta, thank you so much for the recap

"Alicia won’t deny her professional talents but… (yeah BIG BUTT!!)"

Of course we didn't get a firm no from Alicia. She knows what's up and playing rope a dope naivete her strategy.

Roberto doesn't work, obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word, the guy is worthless.

Come on Braulio, have some self respect. I know you need a roommate and want a bedmate but the apartment is yours. Brisa's ex has all but moved in with her, put them both out.

Only two people at Iconika USA, where do the rumors come from?

 

Thank you for the great recap Marta!

Super relieved that Alicia was not only not drunk but came up with a smart way to put Augie off without hurting her career. Of course, for the moment. But maybe Sandra did Alicia a favor and now Augie, bec of Bea, will stay on best behavior.

I'm sure it was Luci that texted all of Iconika with the rumor. She has nothing better to do.

True Rob isn't doing any work for which he is paid. I thought he was in control at Iconika with Sandra away. Oh well the company isn't suffering and he is getting closer to finding out dirt on Augie. And maybe he will help Bea and Alicia in the process.

I haven't seen Gabriel Soto before. I know he is in YO no Creo. Everyone else's excitement makes me excited too.
 

Thank You Marta. I like Aug-Evil.. I like Augusting too.
 

Thanks for your clever funny write-up Marta. Quite enjoyable. I was relieved to see that Aug-Evil immediately knew it was Sandra-Evil who told the (almost not) lies to Bea. And it was equally refreshing to see Bea resist his damage control.
 

A VERY BIG thanks to you Marta---Here in the LA area, we only got to see approximately the last twenty minutes of Lichita due to El Chapo coverage. I would have liked to have seen Alicia slam the door on Augie-evil but through your recap, I
can visualize it well.

Brauilio is a wimp. Throw beard #2 out.

So it's a fraud pyramid scam and Magos calls him on it. You go girl. Yeah Magos!

So it looks like Gabriel Soto is just around the corner. I wonder how he will fit into the show---I can't wait.

must see tv esta Lunes
el gringo

 

Marta, I can't thank you enough. I saw this yet had no idea what was actually transpiring most of the time - especially Bea asking "Augie-Evil" (excellent!)for a divorce.

I so appreciate your extraordinary detailing and marvelous sense of humor.

I fear Sandra is in danger. Did she really think Augusto would not be able to figure out her subterfuge? For an intelligent woman, she continues to make mistake after mistake. I wouldn't mind though if she and Elias ended up in the end. They must have been happy once upon a time.

I feel sorry that Bea has been hurt (albeit right transgression, wrong woman)...She should leave Augusto and try and bond with her two wonderful children, neither of whom she truly appreciates or knows...

Jarifa, I was hoping Augusto's nose was broken after Alicia smartly slammed the door. No such luck!

Carvivlie, I also think Luci started the rumors. Also, I think Soto is very hawt. Hope you agree...

gringo, still chuckling at "Brauilio is a wimp. Throw beard #2 out". Yup!

Marta, thank you so much....

Little Brisa is kinda sexy in a hippie chick 'Free Love' kind of way. I get the distinct impression she would be just fine with living with both beards. But with Mateo missing, Luci still unconsumated, and Aug-Evil chasing Alicia, I could care less about the Iconika commune. Beard #1 should have punched beard #2 on the first kiss, Brisa or no Brisa. Not when he kissed Brisa, when he kissed HIM.

Are we somehow supposed to feel sorry for Sand-Evil? Are we supposed to forget how ruthlessly horrid she was to little Lichita way back? It is not working on me. GRRRRRRR.
 

Thanks Marta! Love "Aug-evil" nickname. The way he kept plying the none too smart Alicia with wine was appalling. I am also glad he was shut down by Bea when he tried to woo her back into his web of lies.

Good for Magos...she recognized the scheme quickly and actually did not buy into it. Let's see where this goes.

If I were Braulio I would not put up with Brisa's look-alike ex....and to pay his medical bills! Something tells me that Exie is just playing the both of them.

 

It was stupid of Brisa to mope over Braulio when he was enamored of Chuchette but they weren't in a relationship. It's obvious Brisa prefers her ex (or type) but he cannot pay the bills and bet she has tried to save him but ended up sleeping in her car. Put them both out Braulio
