Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #90 Friday, January 1, 2016 (Mex 124-125) Shriekin', Huggin' and a-Lovin'!

Felice Anno Nuovo!  Pace e Prosperità a Tutti!  Happy New Year!  Peace and Prosperity to All! Andiamo!  Let's go!  

Fiorella is with an increasingly frantic Pedro who instinctively wipes his eyes but the darkness doesn't dissipate.  Fiorella tries to explain to Pedro what Dr. Elizalde said but he's not listening.  He freaks and then shrieks for Fiorella not to leave him.  Fiorella bolts out the door to ask Sergio to get Dr. Elizalde.  Aitana demands to know what she is doing there.  Sergio and Fiorella ignore her as Fiorella gives Sergio the sad news.

Giana and Gael are at the University as Gigi continues to wonder what her sister is trying to hide from her.  Gael thinks she should directly ask Fiorella what is going on.  Gianna decides it's a better idea to call Fiorella's friend, Nicoleta.

In the study at the Ranch, Assvaldo and Benigno are on death watch, having sent the Hairy Witch to find out if Pedro has kicked the bucket.  Benigno thinks death is imminent and congratulations are in order.  He hugs the Ass and Eloisa almost busts them talking about Pedro's demise.  Assvaldo has to put on his game grief face.  He hopes it's not going to be a tragedy.  Eloisa maintains it will not!  Assvaldo floats his "we have to think about the company" line, you know, if Pedro remains seriously injured, or dies.  Eloisa looks him unwaveringly in the eye:  Pedro is strong and will recover!  Sergio comes in on his phone an beckons for Eloisa to follow him out of the study.  After Sergio and Eloisa leave, Assvaldo and Benigno exchange worried glances.  "Could he have died?" asks Benigno.  Assvaldo says, "I hope so!"  Ass notes that Benigno, wearing a black suit, has come dressed for the occasion.  They chuckle and leave the study.



Sergio and Fiorella stand before the gathering in the living room; Eloisa, Assvaldo, Sonia and Freddie.  Fiorella tells exactly what Pedro said:  he cannot see.  Freddie reframes it in terms best suited for her calculating brain:  so Pedro is blind as a reult of the blow on his head.  Sergio and Fiorella look ripe to burst into tears again.

RPC.  Roxi arrives to the anatomy classroom, Gianna expresses genuine relief at her reappearance, Roxi blows snot all over this act of kindness.  We are saved by the entry of Hot Prof.

In the kitchen of the employee quarters, Fiorella stands at the window, her eyes and voice earnest and  moist with tears as she prays to San Biagio.  She thanks him for saving Pedro's life and now asks that he save Pedro's sight and if he does so, she will never ask him for anything ever again.  Aitana flies in on her broom stick with some truths about Fiorella she wants to present.  Fiorella is a lowly servant, stupid and with the morals of a common ally cat.  Fiorella asks her to repeat what she said and Aitana does.  RPC:  Aitana accuses Fiorella of causing Pedro to serve her up the worse humiliation of her life, blah, blah, blippety blah!  

Fiorella:  If you love Pedro like you say you do, you would be praying right now for his recovery!

Aitana:  You can do that because YOU weren't left at the doors of the church!  

Fiorella:  Once again, you have demonstrated that you only care for yourself.

Aitana:  Who do you think you are, you servant!?

Fiorella:  Well, you came here to tell me some truths, let me tell YOU some.  You are the coldest, most ambitious, inconsiderate, heartless, lying, insensitive person I have ever seen in my life!

Aitana:  You think the words of a gold-digging slut that stole my fiance actually hurts or something, you whore!

With lightening speed Fiorella reaches back into the indignities she has suffered at the hands of the motley Angeles crew and lands a grand slam WALLOP upside Aitana's head that sends her staggering back, grabbing her jaw and looking through her scraggly hair in pain and disbelief at Fiorella.  Fiorella's eyes blaze, "Shut up and don't you EVER speak to me like that again!    Aitana recovers and rushes Fiorella but she stands her ground and doesn't flinch as she stops Aitana's hand dead, in mid air.  "If your life is so miserable and the man you say you love left you at the door of the church, there must be a reason for that but don't come blaming it on me.  I'm not responsible!"  Fiorella strides out of the kitchen.  Aitana tries to chuckle to herself and pretend she doesn't have tire tracks all over her face but then gives in to a hissy fit as she slams the kitchen door and assaults some innocent kitchen ware on the cabinet.

Eloisa sits on Pedro's bed.  Pedro cries that he will never see again.  Eloisa reassures him he will be all right, he needs to be calm; his blindness is the result of an inflammation in the brain that will pass and before he knows it, he will be able to see again!

The death vigil continues with Assvaldo, Sonia and Benigno.  Assvaldo is upset that Pedro has not died.  Aitana enters the room, fresh from her ass whoppin' and Sonia wonders what's wrong.  The girls exchange some mewing and hissing while Benigno and Assvaldo decide they must come up with a new plan.

Night has fallen, Fiorella cries in the kitchen as she tells Gianna about Pedro's accident.  Gianna wonders why Pedro was buying another horse and Fidel begins to explain but Fiorella stops him and describes how the whole thing went down.  Gianna concludes that now Benigno cannot be unmasked and thus Fiorella and Pedro can't let everyone know they are married.   Fiorella sobs she is not going to leave Pedro.  Whatever happens, she will be with him.  Always.  Fidel tells Gianna they still don't know if the blindness will be permanent but they will do whatever they can so that the low-life garbage can be exposed.  Fiorella cries, why does everything have to be so hard!  Before Gianna and Fiorella leave the kitchen, Fiorella tells Fidel everything will be all right.

Gael goes in to see Pedro for the first time after the accident.  Pedro is enraged and demands that Gael leave.  Gael refuses, sits on the bed and meets Pedro's raging grief head on.  Pedro should cry if he needs to and that will help but his anger will only hurt him.  "I'm telling you from the experience with my addiction that many times I felt so bad I just wanted the whole world to go to hell.  It's no one's fault what happened and you must believe that.  I support you, cousin!"  Pedro cries that he doesn't know why this happened to him.  Gael answers, "Nobody knows but what you must know is that your family is with you.  I'm here and you can count on me for whatever you need, just like you've always been there for me."  Anger releases its grip on Pedro as he cries and allows Gael to embrace him.

In the study Assvaldo continues to kvetch about having failed to get that damned Pedro out of their way:  he needs to relax so he can think of his next move!   Sonia offers some wifely comfort, "By all indications, you have destroyed Pedro's life.  What else do you need to relax?"  We've heard it before folks, Pedro is a danger to everyone.  If he keeps investigating, he's going to bring them all down!   What?  Sonia wonders if he's going to try to kill Pedro again.  Of course not!  Not now.  It will look too suspicious.  They need to wait a little while.  Sonia, good wife that she is, walks over to Assvaldo and softly intones, "From the first day I met you I always admired your ambition but this obsessive desire to murder your cousin is too much."  Ass boy doesn't see what the problem is as he's explained it to her so many times.  Sonia is like, "This killing Pedro thing, I can't even. . ."

Pedro has had it with the bed and the leads and the monitors.  He sits up, unplugs the leads from the monitors and then rips them off his chest and makes his way to the door on unsteady feet.

Assvaldo is now alone in the study when Aitana storms in and rips into him.  "You thought that with a horse and a doggie (yes, that's how she put it) you were going to kill Pedro?"  RPC, he calms her hairy ire and they suck face.

Fiorella and Gianna go to Pedro's room and find him NOT there!  Pedro is feeling his way around in the living room.  

Meanwhile, the unholy oral congress continues in the study.  Assvaldo breaks the suction long enough to marvel that all this time Aitana was begging the wrong Angeles for attention.  Pedro stumbles blindly into the room and calls out, "Osvaldo, are you with Sonia?"  He must have smelled the sickening odor of spit.  Assy and Aitana totally play Pedro, lying that it is Sonia.  Aitana leaves and Assvaldo takes Pedro by the shoulders and examines him closely, asking if he's ok, what can he do?  Pedro says he was desperate to get out of the bed, out of the room and walk a bit.  Assvaldo says he will walk with Pedro all he wants.  (This does NOT sound reassuring.)

Eloisa reclines on her bed.  Dr. Elizalde and Sergio are there.  She frets sadly over Pedro but then shoos Sergio away so she can talk privately with Dr. Elizalde.  Dr. Elizalde tells her that they cannot know if Pedro's blindness is permanent until some test results come in.  Does he know about the test done on her "medicine"?  He will get the results as soon as he gets back to his office.

Fifi, Gigi, Simona, Fidel and the Nurse, Nuria talk about Pedro's being missing from his bedroom.  Simoneta wonders if he could be in the closet.  Fiorella and Gianna go to recheck his room just as Assvaldo and Pedro round the corner.  Fiorella and Pedro unabashedly embrace and Pedro brailles Fiorella's face and clings to her, sighing heavily.  I paused to catch a phrase and froze this moment in time as everyone takes in this scene.  Giana looks charmed, Assvaldo looks embarrassed, Nuria looks relieved, Quina's face is blank and Simoneta looks shocked.  It was cute.  Anyway, Pedro needs to rest and Assvaldo takes him to his room.

In her room, Freddy is at it again:  she thinks it's time to get Eloisa to sign another rigged will.  Dante thinks Freddy is crazy.  If Eloisa signs something now in her current state, that document will be easily challenged.  He suggests that now that Pedro is disabled, Freddie ally herself with Assvaldo, that way she will be close to the confidential documents they want to get their grubby paws on.  Freddie agrees but wants to consult her cards.  Dante groans in frustration.

Before leaving, Assvaldo reassures Pedro that he should relax and not worry about anything:  he will be in charge.  Yes.  I know.  The Nurse and Fidel remain with Pedro as Fidel tells him the Nurse will stay with him.  No!  Nooooo!  Pedro wants Fiorella to stay with him and he begs PapaBear Fidel who swallows the nearly sobbing Pedro in his massive bear hug.  Pleeeease!  Please talk to Granny to let Fiorella take care of him.  Well, that will be in the morning but he does agree to go and get Fiorella for now and tells Nurse Nuria he will show her to a room he has set up for her.  Fidel and Nuria leave.

Fiorella enters Pedro's room and is softly drawn to him by the magnetism of his need and vulnerability.  He missed her so much; he kisses her hand.  

Pedro:  It is horrible not being able to see you.

Fiorella:  But you can feel me, and hear me.

Pedro:  And I can smell you.  He inhales, his face pressed against hers.

Fiorella:  And you can feel my caresses, and you can imagine my face because you know it very well, even better than I.

Pedro says he can only bear the blindness because he loves her.  She loves him, they embrace and she coos that she is there, right there with him.  They kiss and Fiorella breaks the kiss for a moment to tie a blindfold on.  She guides his hands to feel it and Pedro's sightless eyes brighten with a smile.  Fiorella says, "Now we are equal because I can't see you either but nevertheless, I love you just the same.  They kisssssssss.

Eloisa takes a call from Dr. Elizalde.  What did he find, cyanide or mercury?  Nope.  Amonia.  Ammonia!?  Eloisa is indignant that they didn't use something more "elegant" on her.  Long story short ammonia can be poisonous but it was found in such a small quantity that Elizalde thinks it could be residue from dish washing liquid not rinsed well from the glass.  Eloisa is like, say what?  Despite Elizalde's skepticism, she is convinced that someone is trying to poison her, if not with the drops, then with something else but she doesn't know who!

Fiorella has taken off the blindfold and everything else and lies nestled in Pedro's arms and they are glowing.  He laments that he will never see their children, smoothing drawing her into more sweet reassurances, kisses and declarations of love.  Awwwwww.

Giana stands in her darkened bedroom by the window holding Fiorella's phone.  She knows that she was adopted and this is the news that Fiorella didn't want her to have.  She decides she will erase the email on Fiorella's phone telling about the fire in the Maratea hospital and the destruction of all the registration records.  She does it.  There, she smiles softly with satisfaction:  Fiorella will never get that disturbing email or know that Gianna has messed with her phone.

The next morning Fiorella and Pedro make sure each knows that the earth moved and they vow to always sleep together and they thank their lucky stars they have Fidel as an ally or the would never have been able to have spent the blissful night they shared.  Looks like a double clutch is in order but Eloisa barges in without knocking, of course.  Eloisa is surprised Fiorella is there and sends her away, not nastily, but firmly.  Fiorella is loathe to take leave of the fully recovered (hubba hubba) though sightless Pedro and she lingers at the door before leaving. 

At the breakfast table Assvaldo takes advantage of Eloisa's absence to tell Sergio, Sonia, and Freddie that Pedro's current state demands he take the reins at ACorp.  Sergio vigorously disagrees and Freddie chimes in with her equally vigorous support.  She will be at Assvaldo's disposal to help him with whatever he needs and to monitor everything closely while necessary decisions are made.  Sergio looks like he wishes he hadn't spent so many years inside of a bottle.

Fortified by Fiorella's love, Pedro presses his case for having Fiorella take care of him instead of a Nurse.  Fiorella, Simoneta and Quina are all he needs.  Eloisa finally relents but warns him that she doesn't want any monkey business between him and Fiorella and yes, she had the nerve to say that Aitana deserves to be with him now after what he did to her and she, Granny, wants him to restart his relationship with her.  GIVE IT A BREAK, GRANNY ---  FOREVER!!!!    Pedro says that soon she will understand his reasons for insisting.  Granny wants to know now.  Sergio enters the room and tells her Benigno is looking for her.  She leaves.  Sergio sits on Pedro's bed and soon Fiorella enters with a breakfast tray.  Sergio jealously insists on helping Pedro with his breakfast.  Pedro pouts that Daddy was never there for him before.  Daddy says that sometimes it takes something like this to make you appreciate what was right in front of you all the time.  Sergio feeds Pedro and I, personally, am embarrassed but I'm not the protagonista, who is enchanted and thinks it is very tender.  Fiorella offers to bring coffee or breakfast for Sergio.  Sergio turns to Fiorella and bestows this upon her.  "You know what?  You are an exceptional woman.  One day you will marry and make someone a great wife and a wonderful mother."  Fiorella smiles and answers simply, "Grazie."

Benigno, Aitana and the Ass continue to strategize.  The Ass lets out his latest mental flatulance:  Hey, let's send Pedro to a rehabilitation center where he can get therapy and regain his sight!"  Beggy and his pimped out, used princess don't get it!  Why should they want Pedro rehabilitated and to regain his sight!   "This is a perfect plan; this way he'll be isolated and easier to get rid of!"

Y punto!

There it is, y'all! Felt like a comedy today with the fun smackdown and Ass boy so upset that his hit fell flat. Jeezopete! Have at it!
 

Gracias, Lila! Come on now, I know you enjoyed the hubba hubba :D I'm glad you got this episode, just for that. And here I was thinking "Oh, I get it...Pedro's blind because they thought blindfolded nookie would be way too racy...OOPS! Never mind!"

Some of my favorite lines were
"Aitana tries to chuckle to herself and pretend she doesn't have tire tracks all over her face" Good luck with that.
"Meanwhile, the unholy oral congress continues in the study." *shudder*
"The Ass lets out his latest mental flatulance." Dude...it so was.

If there were ever a time...not that we haven't gone WAY past that point...for Pedro to come clean about the secret wedding so he can have the comfort of having his WIFE nearby, would this not be it? He can even pout and say "You can't yell at me, I'm still recovering!"
 

Buongiorno e mille grazie, Diva!

Ah, sometimes these writers are really skilled:

And here I was thinking "Oh, I get it...Pedro's blind because they thought blindfolded nookie would be way too racy...OOPS! Never mind!"

They found a classy way to work in blindfolded nookie! Yah Baybay! What's next, velvet cuffs? Bring it on!

Diva, I did enjoy this episode. They're trying to sell the "We can't reveal our love until we can't bust Benigno thing" but I still don't get it! ITA with you here:

If there were ever a time...not that we haven't gone WAY past that point...for Pedro to come clean about the secret wedding so he can have the comfort of having his WIFE nearby, would this not be it? He can even pout and say "You can't yell at me, I'm still recovering!"

Diva, you made a list of the rerun plot points the other day. Please add Gianna erasing vital information from Fiorella's devices. Before it was her deleting, I think, Vitto's contact information on Fifi's laptop and now the email from Nicoletta from Fifi's phone. I'm not sure if she actually spoke to Nicoletta, though. Unless I misread the scene, she picked up her phone and acted as if she had Nicoletta's number. Of course, add plotting to murder Pedro and a less than enthusiastic Sonia.

Pedro got a whole lotta lovin' this episode, didn't he? Gael's support was touching; too bad he was wrong in two out of three of his reassurances: it was an accident; nobody knows why it happened and the whole family is there for him. Gael was, of course, right about him being there for Pedro. It will help Gael to be the one lending a heart and hand this time. Very sweet.
 

Love when you slip in tasty little nuggets Lila. Thank you for the laughs

"Roxi blows snot all over this act of kindness"

"Looks like a double clutch is in order"

Sorry ya'll but watching teenagers make out doesn't do it for me.

Wish Gianna didn't have to get sucked into the stupid. Misunderstanding and a deleted eM to foil Fifi's investigation. I think the writers are punishing the character for stealing the show from Fifi.

Speaking of stealing a scene. Gael did from Petey.

Did Eloisa forget she was supposed to be crazy grandma? She seemed way to coherent during the conversation with Petey.

 

I haven't watched yet. Like a good Padawan I recorded it. My TN jedi master doris says FF and instinct.

However, I will NOT be FFing this:

"... and lands a grand slam WALLOP upside Aitana's head that sends her staggering back, grabbing her jaw and looking through her scraggly hair in pain and disbelief at Fireplace."

What imagery, Lila! You're making me wish I could watch in slow motion!

Let me get back to reading this masterful retelling. Many thinks to you for persevering with this show, Lila!
 

Ha! *snerk* "tire tracks"!

Lovin' it!

Take that, Aitana the wookie head!
 

More lines of note-

"... he calms her hairy ire and they suck face."

"Meanwhile, the unholy oral congress continues in the study."

"Pedro brailles Fiorella's face... "

" The Ass lets out his latest mental flatulence... " (Wow that is a damn fine bit of snarkery.)
 

On fire Lila!! This was splendid. I, like others, was picking out my favorite lines and then thought, DRAT, I'd have to post the whole thing!!

Can I just say, I don't ever want a scene where BOTH Petey and Fi are upset and devasted about anything. I don't think my nerves could take the skreaking and uncontrolled flaying of arms.

So...nurse? But he's alone in a room to pull out all the monitors that should have set off something? So...nurse?

The meet and greet in the hall was adorable. And loved the Gael moment (wonder if Petey will bring him into the inner circle soon on the marriage?) But the Fifty Shades of Petey was more hysterical than anything. The man falls from a horse...he should be in hurting more than with a problem with the brain. Every bone in his body should hurt, but nary a bruise. Wonder man indeed.

At some point, why the hell doesn't Mop and Bucket go home?? Did they move in?? Personally sick of those study scenes.

Great wind-up from Fi to the Mop, but all I could think of the aftermath was poor Simoneta now has to clean up the kitchen and didn't even get a front row seat to the slap.

And put me at the table for "SSM" - Stop Secret Marriage. It has nothing to do with exposing Benny and gang. If anything, it would make them more desperate and slip up. Mop is not a part of this anymore. Petey is pretty much telegraphing he is all about Fi no matter what that old bat still wants him to do. I'm still hoping for a recovered/fake out blindness ploy from Petey.

Will Sonia be moving from the Dark Side?

And we are supposed to still like Rox why? Seriously, the bratty behavior is getting old. Give me a spark of change.

Buongiorno e grazie tantissimo, Tofita!

Wish Gianna didn't have to get sucked into the stupid. Misunderstanding and a deleted eM to foil Fifi's investigation. I think the writers are punishing the character for stealing the show from Fifi.

Tofie, I could just scream! We've been through this already! Gael's suggestion sounded like he was a part of the Patio: "Why don't you just talk to her up front and clarify things." GA-EL! Your hunny has been slapped with the stoopid stick!

Gael WAS moving and a voice of reason this episode and yah, Eloisa forgot the crazy. Pedro's so traumatized, though, I doubt he'll remember. AAGGGHH!



Sarita! Sorellina mia, mille grazie! Girrrrl, you gotta watch the slap and rewind several times to catch different elements of it. Aitana's reaction and Fiorella's fearless standing her ground. I love the way she never took her eyes off Aitana's eyes before, during, and after the slap. You know you been effed up when your slapper locks eyes with you and then doesn't even flinch when you come charging back to retaliate.

It was SU-WEEEET!!!

Aitana the wookie head! Is that a STAR WARS thang? I may have to break down and go see it!

Sara, thank you, honey, I had fun with this episode. After Sombra, I'd gotten used to a daily quota of slapping and realize I've been deprived! ;D
 

Lila- Wow. Blindfolded nookie and a SLAP. Sounds like you got quite an episode. Your retelling of it was wonderful. Looking forward to watching the slap later.

Tofie- Gi would seem like a victim of fickle writers, if she hadn't done this kind of thing before. Last time she totally erased Fi's email account. Not cool. I like her, but she makes some stupid, impulsive choices sometimes.
 

Buongiorno e grazie, Daisynjay! Girl! I wish I had been keeping track of the names for Aitana and I think you're the author of the best ones: mop and bucket! HA! Love it!

Now, here's something I hadn't thought of re Gael:

(wonder if Petey will bring him into the inner circle soon on the marriage?)

Yes! He certainly was a voice of sage counsel and comfort this episode! Gosh knows he's earned his stripes. With them mentioning sending Petey away to rehab [Oh noes! I just had a Gata flalshback!] it probably WILL happen and Pedro can use all the allies he can get to watch the goings on at the snake pit. If Pedro even discussed the whole scam situation with Gael, he'd probably figure out in a micro-second that Assvaldo is the two-faced traitor plotting with Benigno AND behind the whole rabid doggie/scaredy horsie thing!

I'm still hoping for a recovered/fake out blindness ploy from Petey

YES, Daisy! Please let them do that rather than the rehab thing, PLEEEEASE! I see you also noticed that Sonia's objection to rematando Pedro was very lukewarm.

Roxi's snobbishness and a classroom bitch-session with Gigi. Yah. Add that to the rerun list!
 

Grazie tantissimo, Vivianita! Yes, honey, do not miss this episode. The SLAP makes it all worthwhile!
 

HAHAHAHA! Lila, I had La Gata flashbacks when I read about rehab. So help me if there's a hot female doctor in charge of the place and she falls in love with Petey....
 

I am leaning to the very conscience effort of the writers to make Gia less mature so that Fi comes off as the Elder, smarter and "mom figure". Gia may have been impulsive from the start, and yes, she does some questionable things with a good heart, but no more than any other character. But as she and Gael get more serious, they seem to also be making her more "girlish". This is a young woman smart enough to go into a pre-med program, she had a spirit and smarts at the beginning of this, and then a couple episodes ago they have her standing with Gael at school twirling and staring at her hair like she was 13. I almost threw something. Don't know if that's the director telling her to dumb it down or what.

Daisynjay
 

Daisynjay, I think, like all the rerun plot lines, that this is the fallout of trying to run a novela too flaming long! Everybody gets tired, character's personas are forgotten and they fall back on old, tired stereotypes. Too bad.
 

DnJ you stated my thoughts on Gianna but I was too lazy to spell it out. Just days earlier Fifi was giving a sex talk to Gianna and Fifi the wise had only had sex the first time two days prior.

Some of this correction I attribute to the relative newcomer Ela Velden. Who took seriously she should act for her pay and overshadowing Livia who is not capable of doing much more than looking pretty, confused or crying.
 

"... Livia who is not capable of doing much more than looking pretty, confused or crying."

Amen, tofie. Livia was quite good in Triunfo de amor, but it's been downhill ever since. What little I've seen of Ela Velden has been very good. I hope to see a lot more of her in the future.


 

Nailed it tofie!! I didn't watch this for either of the two leads, but like the time slot and the story sounded cute. I actually watch and care more for the sub plot of couple of G&G, so I get a tad too worked up when I can see the writers taking what they started as showing in the these two, even as individuals, and trying to make them less mature or special for the sake of the leads. I wonder if that's the problem with Rox and Benny. As they got closer and Rox starting appearing gentler and changing, they became more interesting too. Heaven forbid they outshine the true love story I guess. Stupid writers don't realize we can take as many enjoyable pairings as they can give us, don't need to make characters dumber or unlikeable again.

So agree that this is one TN that should not be running for the number of episodes allotted. There was not enough plot and substance. Revealing the marriage could have gone a long way to make this a new and fresh serious of plots. Instead we are mired in a secret and the "company" becomes the focal point, and the other two romances get maybe 3-5 minutes every couple days. If I have to see Os macking on someone one more time, I may, as Shakespeare says, "wax dangerous."

Daisynjay
 

Lila, I am enjoying this show but even more so because of the stellar recaps.

This was sensational, start to finish. "Fiorella is with an increasingly frantic Pedro who instinctively wipes his eyes but the darkness doesn't dissipate", "He freaks and then shrieks", "unholy oral congress" were are fantastic but "Pedro brailles Fiorella's face" and "mental flatulence" were inspired.

I loved Fi ripping into Aitana and giving her a loud, resounding snap! You go girl. She SO deserved it! I'm so tired of Fi's status as working class (translation for Aitana: honest, hard working)is so disrespected.

I am enjoying Jose Ron as he is making me feel for his character and making me care very much what happens to him.

Is there help for Eloisa? Is her subterfuge giving her a clear sight into who and what everyone in her orbit is? I thought there was some hope until she said Pedro should go back with Aitana. If she meant it, it is obvious who is not seeing reality. It's Eloisa - not Pedro who uses his other senses to discern good from evil.

Excellent comments today - enjoyed every word.

Thank you for making this bright Lila!

Diana
 

Lila, I just loves your recap in 2016. This one
Is exceptional. I love your storytellin skills. gracias Lila my dear.

I so loved it when fiorella bitch slapped that
miscreant with hair. She seem to relish callin
Her a servant, as if thats something to be ashamed of. Fi works for a living, all she does is
Sit on her hairy ass and feel entitled. If she had to work she'd starve cause shes a lazy
Skank who don't how to do nothing but lay
Down for whoever is desperate enough to
Touch her sluty but. It's only the second day of the year she's getting on my last nerve.
I'm happy to see that Fiorella feels the same way. Bring on some more slappin.
Eloisa hasn't learned yet. She still pushing that skank on pedro. I will be very happy and
Relieved when they can be open & free in front of those annoying people.
" Anger releases its grip and pedro cries and allows gael to embrace him". Those two guys should have been brothers instead of that jackass. Its mskes me wonder if gael's
Dad is as sweet as he is. He needs more air
Time by the way, that is a pretty man, when
Are they going bring him back?

Seems to me that Pedro can probably tell Sergio that he's married to Fiorella, maybe he can keep his mouth shut. Maybe.
In the meantime. They can keep sneaking around and making a baby. Remember what Freddie said about the cards? somebody's going to have a baby. she said she saw that in her cards. unless she was talking about Julieta and Santini finding out that fiorella is their baby girl.
 

"... and then a couple episodes ago they have her standing with Gael at school twirling and staring at her hair like she was 13."

Blech. I'm glad I missed that, Daisynjay!

Just sitting down to watch/FF the episode. That slap was a thing of beauty. I watched rewound and watched it at least 4 times.
 

LILA, let me add my tribute: your recap was stellar--loved it!
I've missed a couple of episodes and have not been on the patio much lately, but that just makes me appreciate your delicious, rowdy sense of humor all the more.
Thank you so much!

Adding my own belated Happy New Year to all--
J in Oregon
 

Better than average show - great, as always, recap. Muchísimas gracias, Lila!
Ann C.
 

Diana! Mille grazie, amica mia! Sorry for the late response. Busy day taking down the tree, cleaning up. Diana, I did not expect the slap so it was even more enjoyable. Not because I like to see people get slapped, but Fiorella and Gianna have been rebuked and scorned by this family too much. You know what? I think I'm going to go back and rewatch it keeping in mind what Aitana did to Gianna!

This paragraph is brilliant!

Is there help for Eloisa? Is her subterfuge giving her a clear sight into who and what everyone in her orbit is? I thought there was some hope until she said Pedro should go back with Aitana. If she meant it, it is obvious who is not seeing reality. It's Eloisa - not Pedro who uses his other senses to discern good from evil.

That was SO disappointing. It's the rerun syndrome, inevitable when a story gets dragged on so long!

Grazie, Diana!


Hey, Nina! Grazie, girl! Fiorella has put up with a lot. You know, I actually thought for a minute that Fiorella was going to tell Aitana that she was Pedro's wife. Oh well, the slap was better.

Nina, seems there has got to be pregnancy and I can't see it being Gianna. Time will tell!
 

Hey, Sara! It was gooood, wasn't it!


Mille grazie, J in Oregon! Awww thanks, hon! Always glad to see you! Happy New Year to you, too!


Grazie tantissimo, Ann C.!
 

Lila - Thank you for this recap. You really outdid yourself with this one, and it is waaay better than the episode itself!!! I would quote all my favorite lines but then I'd be quoting the entire recap.

Who the heck has a "medical room" in their house ... er ... mansion ... oh, never mind. Beanie hat slippage.....

Seeing Fi finally stand up for herself was refreshing, but she has the self-confidence that comes with being married to Pedro to do that now. In real life, Aitana would be busting to have Fio fired for that slap.

So did Fi/Ped nookie happen with Fidel guarding the door all night? Fi did not lock it when she entered P's room. Eloisa entered the room by herself the next morning. Those two crazy kids were taking a big risk. Good thing Fiorella wears a daily uniform, or she'd have had a major walk of shame "the morning after" when Elo barged on in.

There is no anvil too large for Os, Aitana and Benigno.
 

Buongiorno e mille grazie, Doris! Grazie tanto! You know, these people are driving me crazy with these unlocked doors! Why in the world, knowing how people just barge in everywhere whenever they want, why would you even THINK of being intimate without the door locked? Oh well, I guess you can't have a novela without unlocked doors and overheard conversations.

There is no anvil too large for Os, Aitana and Benigno.

Agree, but what do you think Sonia deserves? She is so an accomplice and her resistance seems to have weakened considerably after Assy's "brilliant" plot fell flat. I wonder what she'd be willing to risk to save Pedro's life?
 

I don't think Sonia deserves as big an anvil as the unholy trio. Sonia lied to Pedro about their "night together" and her pregnancy but she doesn't approve of murder. Let's hope she does something to stop that.

Even Fedeloca deserves a bigger anvil than Sonia because Fed *is* trying to kill Eloisa and steal from her and the family, who may well be innocent of Fed's claims.

BTW, who knew ammonia is lethal? Well, I guess it is because it is highly alkaline, but Fed bought it from a street vendor. Can't you buy that in any store? Seems like Elo would smell or taste it. Unless it is a type that is really strong and odorless. Ack! I am thinking too much!!!
 

Hey, Doris. I'm hoping Sonia stops Pedro's murder, too, It's possible she is not objecting as much so that they will keep her in the loop. I don't see her doing anything dramatic or purposely risking her life but she may do something, even anonymously.

I betcha they are going to do the rehab thing and I'm right with Sara:

I had La Gata flashbacks when I read about rehab. So help me if there's a hot female doctor in charge of the place and she falls in love with Petey....

With what we've been served up so far, I think we should all brace ourselves for that ridiculous scenario.

Or, hey! Maybe if there's a hot therapist, she'll be so in love with Pedro she'll save him from the unholy trio!


 

Or... Or.. A hot therapist Ass can snog and blackmail into doing harm to Pedro?
 


Oh folks, I was thinking that Sonia could have used the pictures that she took of Ratana and Ass boy kissing in the boardroom to blackmail the Riva Palmas in if they accuse Ass and her of being their acomplices, those pictures could be send to Pietro or to the press. Maybe that way she could have stop the murder plan. Oh what a scandal would be for Ratana that all tv shows, newspapers, and magazines exhibit that she betrayed her ex fiance with his cousin, oh yeah her reputation would be in the floor.
 

Yah, Sara. Your scenario IS more likely. Apparently the insufferable Ass is a chick magnet! YUCK!

Good idea, Marla. Probably makes too much sense for the story. I like the words "on the floor" in the same sentence with Aitana. That's where she belongs.
 

Oh, dear. Please no "rehab" scenarios! Though, I also have to agree--the most likely outcome is the one Sara's envisioning.

I'm wondering if the poison guy ripped Fed off or was she just not using nearly enough. The doctor seemed pretty unconcerned.
 


Well folks lets pray that Sonia comes up with a smart plan to save pietros life before they take them to the fake rehabilitation because ass boy wont rest til he kills him. Oh what a scary plan, so Ass wants to pretend that he is gonna help Pietro recover his sight when really what he wants is sort of kidnap him. Oh my gosh, now I dont know who is more evil, Federica or him.

By the way, I also enjoyed Fiorellas slap to Ratana but sincerely she should have give her more slaps. One was not enough.
