Antes Muerta que Lichita #104 ALicia presents her angelic toilet paper campaign... but is it really hers??

Augie keeps mocking Roberto that now he is basically deep in the mudd (too far inside the deal to come out clean).
Alicia can’t believe her family are rolling the red carpet for Valeria, the mother o the woman who did her so much harm. Alicia talks to Ximena about this, they knock fists saying they are successful gals.
Valeria is eating with Luciana just outside the cafecito… Luciana is eager to tell Valeria about the new campaign she is WORKING ON at the office.  Valeria considers it refreshing after she had been laying around doing nothing… Did Valeria just call Luciana lazy? (floja)?  Luciana keeps thinking everything about Valeria and her new job is ‘third-worldly’. Valeria is so sad to hear her daughter talk so frivolous. Valeria tells her she, on the contrary, feels good working.  She wishes Luciana good luck with her other coffee brand campaign.  Luciana leaves. Valeria tries to apologize to the Gutierrez, they say no need, Nacho is not so subtle, rather very straight in his criticism of Luciana.
The API old guys are mocking Augie about Alex getting married WITH ANOTHER MAN.  Roberto asks them how come they are so informed when the campaign was targeted specifically to the internet and to a very specific audience…  Augie takes the chance to slip away.
Alicia and Augie are meeting in his office.  He is surprised to see that she is nervous… he does believe in her abilities.  She says this campaign is very important and there are also some family issues that have her a bit distracted but she assures him she will figure it all out.  He keeps trying to get her to tell him more about the personal stuff. She does slip that she feels like she doesn’t have so much in common with her relatives anymore, that they don’t seem to appreciate all she has done for them, and that makes her feel a bit guilty.  He encourages her to think of herself before others.  HE says he too feels betrayed by the family he once had worked so hard for.  Alicia backsteps and says what’s important is the presentation so she is heading to give it one last pass.   On her way out she turns around and asks if he is ok, he responds with a deflated sigh, yeah I’m always ‘alright’.  She leaves.
We have a product placement and commercial from Shushette telling Fatima about her AWESOME Payless shoes.  Fatima wants SHushette to locate the reception girls for her.
Magos meets with her friends again, she shares with them that her folks think she is studying and at school.  She briefly considers ‘un acordeon’ (a cheat sheet). But she still has a little hope that she will remember enough of the class to pass.
Fatima goes to see Alicia and tells her Luciana’s presentation to the People’s cafe client right at the same time Alicia is presenting her own campaign to the clients.  Alicia is not happy to hear that. She won’t let Luciana do her presentation to Santy’s representative today. Fatima asks her if she is mad at Luciana. Alicia says ‘me mad at Luciana?  no way!’ (LOL!)
At the API, the old guys are meeting with Roberto about the financial reports.  Roberto is not really with his head in there so he apologizes and cuts the meeting short.
Elias is giving Alicia some final seconds encouragement and help with her ‘wings’. They walk in the room. Alicia has feathery wings on the back of her suit jacket. Nestor whispers that she looks ridiculous. (the campaign is about toilet paper LOL!) The client LOVES the campaign ideas.  (angelic toilet paper LOL) The client keeps talking about how much he loves the campaign when Luciana comes in yelling rants about Alicia cancelling/postponing Luciana’s presentation to People’s café.  Alicia apologizes to the folks at the meeting about Luciana, who usually can control her temper… Luciana yells more stuff, showing off the LACK of her ability to control herself.

Carmona comes back to see Roberto and he is not a happy camper. He demands Roberto tell him right now what is going on, seems Roberto has been avoiding him after begging him to team up to trap Augie..
Alicia tells Luciana the one making a scene is her… Luciana tries to mock and undermine Alicia in front of her clients but Augie comes in just in time to save her.  THE toilet paper client is ready to head over to Augie’s office to finalize the details of their ad contract.  They all leave Luciana and Alicia alone. Luciana goes… ‘vas a verrrrrrrrrrrrr!’  (you will see )
The cop keeps waiting for Roberto to tell him what is up with Augie after Roberto did everything to try to get his help to catch Augie. Roberto gets irritated and yells at him .
Luciana and Alicia get real close to each other and yell at each other face to face… Luciana keeps trying to cash on ‘being daughter of who I am…’  and Alicia saying she will work her way up as she has done to date. 
Carmona is guessing right that Roberto now is up to his neck in the whole mess… Carmona warns him that now he will go after both Augie and him (Rob)… as accomplice.
[We have the announcement that the new novela, Sueno de Amor, will begin Mar 8th.]
Ximena tells a very happy family that she will be learning French soon at school.
Alicia calls Elsa. Elsa asks Alicia if she was uncomfortable when Luciana showed up. No worries.
Luciana, SHushette, Nestor et al are texting each other… they are all trying to come up with some plan to stop Alicia’s toilet paper campaign.   Luciana is nasty to the maid at the house.
Sandra meets with Fatima at a coffee shop. Sandra is nagging that she can’t find a job anywhere, thanks to Alicia.  Fatima tells her she has to go back to work but repeats to Sandra that Alicia is not to blame for Sandra’s fate, she brought that up on herself with her actions.  Fatima suggests to Sandra to find employment in another industry. Sandra does not want to leave the advertising industry.
Roberto gets to see Mateo again at Augie’s place.  Augie asks Rob how the API stuff is going. Ok.  Augie is not worried, his business deals have always been undetectable.  Rob tells Augie that Carmona is already suspecting that Roberto is covering up for Augie’s business… Augie reiterates to Rob that they are now ‘OUR deals’.
At the office, Fatima encourages Alicia, the new campaign will be a big positive move for Iconika.  Alicia talks business and makes Fatima feel like Alicia is now focused on business revenue. Alicia keeps on talking about Iconika expanding to Latin America… even walking away saying there is lots of work ahead of us. Fatima stays there looking… a bit discouraged … from what she just heard.
Days later…
(we see sights from possibly latin America)  It is Braulio and Brisa… they have been on vacation at Playosfera (LOL!).  he is surprised he has been able to survive so many days disconnected from the virtual world.  She convinces him that he is enjoying himself, he agrees.
Alicia is receiving new clients, she asks about Nestor, and SHushette tells her he has been working like a slave for many days. 
Alicia comes to his office and he nags and nags about the workload… he urges her to hire someone to help him out.   Alicia talks to him about him finally earning his salary and even a bonus.  Now he can undertand how she felt when she earned very little and worked too hard.  She suggests he fix himself up (hair and makeup LOL!)
Luciana is in bed, Valeria calls her.  Seems she has been out of touch lately.  Roberto comes in after she hangs up. He reminds her Augie wants her to come and attend the new meeting about the toilet paper contract. She is not looking forward to this.
Alicia again meets with Marcelo (her favorite stylist). She wants something really breakthrough to really make an impression now.  He reminds her she is Alicia, he does not want her to tell him she is now very cookie cutter businesswoman.  She reminds him she would be ‘dead before being Lichita again!’  He promises her she will be ‘REGIA’ (AMAZING)
Braulio and Brisa arrive back home.  She calls her dad… she invites herself to dinner with her dad.  She says on phone she does feel like forgiving him but will talk more about it at dinner.  Braulio and Brisa talk that she will see if her dad can help them with their finances.
At the big house, Roberto is helping Luciana with her dress for the meeting. She is nagging at herself for being ‘fat’.  HE tries several times but her dress won’t close.  BTW she is eating a GIGANTIC piece of cake.  She tells him he has been wearing a face lately like he is standing before an execution line of fire.  They mumble about their blues lately.  She tells him she will only go to the meeting to learn if Alicia’s idea is THAT SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.
Braulio and Brisa are eating out with her dad…  Dad says the script that Braulio submitted is very good.  They keep talking and Braulio feels very (as he said himself) awkward.  Dad says they can meet tomorrow to make some adjustments to the script.  Braulio then tries to call Alicia.
At Cafecito, Valeria is crying, Elsa comes over. She says Alicia has work and that justifies her not keeping in touch.  Elsa tries to encourage her.  Magos is at a table with her friends, she is now worried that the class material is not ‘sticking’ and she is afraid of tomorrow’s test.  She is then talking about plans to cheat on the test and not get caught.  She has to pass that test to get her school certificate (equivalent of high school, is my guess).
Shushette is on phone with Braulio, she tells him today there is a huge meeting at IConika and he should come over but SHushette can’t guarantee he will have any chance to see Alicia alone, she is real busy.
The presentation begins with SHushette introducing the campaign logo.  Braulio says the campaign has angels, like his movie … (ouch!)
Luciana is also making comments…
Shushette then gets the video started… and Braulio realizes Alicia used his material. He is breathing hard as the video finalizes with the product mention…
Augie then introduces the master behind the campaign…
Alicia comes down from the roof on cables, all dressed in black and with black feather wings.  Brisa asks Braulio what is going on.  He tells Brisa (and of course Luciana overhears) that Alicia stole his campaign and his life…
Previews:  Luciana gets on mic, asks Alicia to admit that the campaign idea is not hers but Braulio’s.
Augie is also ranting at Alicia, but…

Alicia tells Luciana that she better tell the truth because otherwise everyone will learn about HER secrets (Alicia shows Luciana something on phone)… (is it the photos of her and Gumaro?)

Thank you Marta. "SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS"

So, falling for a pilferer again and again creates a dark angel? Should thanks be given to Roberto for being a great mentor or shame on Alicia for making everyone pay because she didn't have the backbone to move on?

I understand Alicia's disappointment in her parents. Her mother especially, Nacho is stupid and cannot help it.


 

Marta, thank you for the recap. It was very enjoyable!

So, there are only 11 episodes left with "Sueño de amor" starting on 3/8. Looks like it is starting on 2/22 in México.

Sort of being picky here, Alicia could not have stolen the "Angel image" since it is "Angelical" tissue to begin with. Did she steal the drivel of a script? Or was it a particular logos or graphic design? Unless it was the drivel of a script, it sounded pretty weak to me.

I can understand Alicia feeling taken for granted by her family. Too bad she had to share with Augusto.

Yes, it was a Payless shoes night and also a LaLa milk night.

I got a kick out of Marcelo the makeup artist talking about the "Lichita" of the past and the "Alicia" of the present and then both he and Alicia saying "Antes muerta que Lichita". Cute.

I could not believe Magos thinking of taking a cheat sheet in for the test. Now, SHE is "floja". Sounds likely is a test for the equivalent of our GED.
 

Marvelous Marta. You write beautifully.

"Luciana keeps thinking everything about Valeria and her new job is ‘third-worldly’" and "Alicia again meets with Marcelo (her favorite stylist)" (and ours!) were my favorites.

"She briefly considers ‘un acordeon’ (a cheat sheet)". I held out some hope for Magos but it has now totally dissipated.

It is a sad admission that Alicia is truly Magos' sister. Has she changed so much that she is truly going to claim Braulio's idea as her own? My fervent hope is that she will smile and say "now I want to give credit to Braulio for this inspired campaign". Jarifa, thanks for bringing up the fact we don't know exactly what she "stole". But, just from the look on his face, it doesn't look good!

Was also disappointed Alicia was so hard on Valeria. She knows Val is a good and kind person. Can she help it she had the spawn of Satan?

Interesting times ahead! (I also am fairly sure Alicia has "evidence" of Luci and Gumaro as well Marta).

Thanks again Marta!

I never understood why Elsa thought it a good idea to take Valeria in so certainly not now that Luciana hangs out everyday. I don't think Valeria is a good person and to sit there bonding with with her daughter as Luciana draws comparisons between what she and Gumaro are doing behind Roberto's back the same as the tryst between Valeria and Augusto and subsequent decades long betrayal of Rafael, wrong. Valeria was to marry Rafael, fell in love with Augusto and he rejected her, realizing she fell for a cad married Rafael anyway. That wasn't enough though. When she realized she was pregnant she passed the love child off as Rafael's. That stinks to high heaven. Rafael would be living today had Valeria admitted her betrayal and let Rafael live his life instead she hid.
 

While Valeria has made some very serious mistakes, I still believed she loved Rafael.

I think at the core though she is a good person. Her daughter is who she is...

Guess we will have to respectfully disagree tofie.

Diana
 

yep, funny but we usually agree on most stuff Diana. I do agree she fell in love with Rafael and her daughter is more like her father. I think my disgust with what she did is influenced by Augusto's taunt that killed Rafael.
 

I am okay with most everyone (except for Augusto and Magos) because they are getting their payback already. The fact that Roberto has to see his son in such a precarious position due to his own stupidity and ego is anvil enough for me. Well, at least I won't have to wait long to see what is awaiting Augusto and Magos. The Alicia/Malicia character will have a reckoning moment, too, I am sure. As far as actually liking many of these characters is a different story . . .
 

Thanks, Marta. Fab recap.

How sad to see Alicia stealing Braulio's material. When she talks to the fourth wall, I don't feel with her at all. Diana, I sure do hope she does say "now I want to give credit to Braulio."

Magos should've run off with Chanclas if this is the best role model she can be for Ximena.
 

I agree about Magos not being worthy of Ximena or any of her family for that matter. Especially when she talks about being the example or model for her daughter as if it were a duty or job rather than her goal.
And when will she grow up? is she supposed to be older than Alicia? WHen will she begin to own up to her actions? SO she has been lying to her parents about studying and hoping that somehow she will have the right answers at the test... how distant from reality can you be??

ALicia and about her stealing Braulio's idea... the least he deserved was that she tell him she was going to use it BEFORE the presentation gala. He has the right to be irritated/dissappointed at the very least.
And Valeria... I agree that she is no perfect angel, and Elsa took a big chance with her.
Does ALicia have the right to rant about her family being ungrateful to someone like Augie... HEck no!! She has made her bed, now she has to sleep in it... and that includes losing your friends and the love of your life by listening to the wrong advice.

 

Thank you Marta. Great recap.

While Alicia was wrong in stealing Braulio's movie idea, he was also wrong in leaving Alicia hanging yet again with the director guy, when she was trying to help him out. Plus, he just left work just like that without any prior notice. That's not something that you should do.

Alicia being upset with her parents just because they allow Luciana to stop by the coffee place seems so childish to me. How old is she?

Magos is such a mess. A cheat sheet? Why doesn't she just apply herself? She just wants to take the easy way out.
 

Alicia with her angel wings reminded me of character Marichuy on Cuidado Con El Angel.
 

** reminded me of her character on Cuidado Con El Angel.
 

Fun movie with lots of laughs. Just saw "Busco novio para mi mujer" with Arath de la Torre playing a schmuck who wants out of his unhappy marriage and hires a legendary lover played by Jesús Ochoa.
 

Thanks Jarifa for the movie recommendation. That was a movie that I wanted to see.
 

OT.. Speaking about Arath De La Torre, I thought that he did a great job as the host on Premio Lo Nuestro.
 

Thanks for the wonderful recap!

Alicia knew what she was doing was wrong, which is why she didn't tell Braulio. She has certainly lost her moral compass. Doesn't matter if Braulio left work. Doesn't give her the right to steal private property, which is what his script is.

Agree that Rob is getting his anvil. Seeing Mateo in Augies clutches is enough.

Elsa paid off Magos's debt because she thought the little work she was doing was her trying. Elsa has enabled Magos from the start.


 

Carvivlie, you are so right about Elsa and Magos.
 

Late to the patio as the weekend has come and gone but I did want to say thank you to Marta for her weekend recap.

One thing that really caught my attention was Luciana screaming and yelling full force at Alicia during a presentation with a client. QTH? In any normal working environment the screaming person would have been fired immediately and escorted out the front door--we'll send your personal belongings to you. I couldn't believe that temper tantrum in front of a client and Magos isn't grown up? What?

I wanted to thank CeCe as well. We got a two-fer this weekend.

I'm wondering what Alisa is doing as a dark angel? I'm staying tuned.
