Before we begin, I know we've abandoned some tables here on
the patio recently. Looks like we're going to abandon some more, I'll just
place these here *sits a barrel of tomatoes in front of Viewerville*.

We're back at the pension of perpetual tension. Moe, Larry, and Curly are huddled together arguing. Woe-ledad feels overwhelmed by everything happening. Remedios doesn't think leaving is the right answer, AnaLu would never accept it. But Solebad plans to find a way to convince her. Curly, er I mean, Nerina doesn't think Sole can run for the rest of her life without knowing what's going on, or who's on her heels. She suggests being an inside spy for Sole to help her scheme (That's called aiding and abetting, folks ...and I aim on betting you'll end up en el carcel with Soulless, Ms. YouGotSomeNerve-rina). Nerverina (yes, she just applied for a spot on my Name-Calling Sh*tlist w/ that move) tells Sole that the family doesn't know who she is, so she has the advantage. She offers to get close to them, so that the 3 Stooges stay a step ahead. Remedios agrees with this plan (Oh are you applying too, missy? I don't care how many eye gouges and boinks on the head Moe-ledad has given you, nobody is this stupid!). Neverina, who has all the great ideas, pitches in further that AnaLu should be kept away from the boutique so she's never recognized. Yea, as if the warden needs a deputy to keep AnaLu further incarcerated! Sole needs time to think, she takes the chest of secretos and asks Rem to keep it hidden for her. (Viewerville arms are exhausted, with dripping fingers stained red).

AnaLetrina and Ernestina come back from the party. AnaLet wants to know why Erne was so out of sorts around Rodrigo. Erne says she already explained they were only friends many years ago. But AnaLet’s not buying it, she even recalls her reaction upon seeing him at the airport. Erne marvels at her inquisitive memory, she explains she wasn’t sure it was him. AnaLetMeIn tries to pry further but Erne’s pulls out AnaLet’s fork, she’s done. AnaLet then asks about the bracelet and her interest in helping with the investigation, but wants to leave Llora out. Erne is happy to hear this but wants to include all of them. AnaLet heads upstairs and enters her bedroom to find the run-away groom has returned. She goes through his pantalones and finds the ring, that Marcelo had replaced, hidden in the pocket. She begins catastrophizing about the reasons he's not wearing it and goes to bed. Santiago wakes up the next morning wondering how he got there. AnaLet has her own questions, she'd like to know where he'd been the last 2 days. “Did you have fun while laughing at me?” They were just recently intimate, and she didn't expect him to run away from her besos. (Maybe during the screwing, he found a screw loose and went to find a repair shop?). He left her there to imagine the worst, and she's sure the reality is even worse than the thoughts in her head (Viewerville wonders if that's possible). She tells him not to bother hiding it, it's evident where he was. Santi won't lie, he admits to it and doesn't even attempt to justify it.

AnaLu is pretending to sleep as the warden looks over her. She wakes up and Sole notices something is bothering her. AnaLu prefers not to talk about it, they idly chat about the event. She tells Sole how worried Rem was about her coming home late. Sole reassures her that Celia dropped her off, but segues into what she wanted to discuss. What with the city being so big and them missing life by the sea, she brings up the plan they originally had about escaping to start over. She thinks it'd be good for AnaLu to forget Santi (Or is it so everyone else will forget about reconciling with AnaLu, you wench with a heart wrench!). AnaLu can never forget him, and doesn't want to go. Sole pulls back the pressure, and tells her not to decide now. But AnaLu responds that she's changed her mind, so there's nothing to think about it —especially since Sole has given her support of rejoining Danze Aire. Sole still supports her, but she can dance anywhere. AnaLu gets fed up. Sole was the one who brought her here, if she wants to leave then she can go alone. Sole can't bear leaving her so if AnaLu wants to stay, then they'll stay. (Viewerville applauds our AnaLuchador's win this round).
Llora sits with Erne to inquire her opinion. Erne feels
uneasy about what it is. Llora assuages her it's not that bad. She explains
that Ram has invited her on a lay-cation (well, she didn't really say it like
that, but Erne can already smell the pheromones on this one). Erne wants to
know what they're celebrating, but Llora says it's just time for them to make
their own memories. (We can see Erne's cogs begin to spin). Many things have
happened between them recently, and they've argued. Erne doesn't think this is
a decent way to make up. Llora right away backtracks, apologizing to Erne for
even saying anything and upsetting her. Erne feels guilty and senses Llora's
deep set fear. “No, this is just my mother's upbringing that makes me react
this way”. Erne recognizes her as an adult woman and tells her she wants to
help her fly, not clip her wings. Erne asserts she will let her heart speak, rather
than her mother's words in her head. At this, she decides differently, not
wanting Llora to keep living in fear. Llora finally opens up about how the idea
of spending so much time with Ram scares her. Erne tries convincing her to
follow what's in her heart, not her hollow leg (Ok, she may have used the word
“insecurity” here. Guarever ….tomato, potato). Llora is afraid of his reaction
once he'll see her the way she is. Erne is certain that Ram adores her and even
if he hasn't seen her prosthesis, it doesn't mean he won't understand. Llora
agrees with her abue, it's something she'll have to face sooner or later since
they hope to be married. Erne thinks there's no one who's overcome and deserves
as much as her, she trusts her decision. Llora
decides to take time to think about it, so there's no regret. Erne
philosophizes about the regret of missing something you can never get back,
like true love. Llora wonders about Erne's happiness with her hubby. Erne
claims to have lived a peaceful life with him. Certain wisdoms come with age.
(For once, Erne is ok in my book).
The corresponding true loves of these women, Rodrigo and Ramiro, are doing work on their gadgets. Or at least one of them is. Rod is texting furiously to his Tinder gal-pal. Ram catches him with the ol' “you sly dog, you” jab. Rod laughs at being uncovered. He doesn’t understand how to go about these things, and he hasn’t even seen the face of his conquest, who unbeknownst to him is Erne. He's not even sure if she's even a woman (Yeah, some days we're not so sure either). And while he doesn't want to scare her, he wants to convince her somehow to meet with him. Ram can offer no advice since he shares the same predicament. He can't even convince his girlfriend to go on a weekend strip —er, trip with him.

Viri visits Ghoulieta. Ghoulieta apologizes for not going to Viri's Clash-ion Show. She's not ready to face the world after her son's death. She mulls over her husband’s workaholic absence. Viri opines that it may be just his way of coping. Ghoulieta wants to change the subject, and presses for details about the show. Viri explains how her extravaganza was a bit of an extra-verguenza. Everything was great, except for the annoying details like Marrano's face, his flirting with a beautiful woman, and the excess spoiling of his niece. Ghouileta sees how she’s slowly becoming entrenched in the family, maybe she'll end up as his wife (Um, not if JudyB has anything to say about it). Viri tells her to stop talking nonsense ….or maybe just stop talking.
Sole and Rem are commiserating about project Alvarez-Infiltrate.
Sole's been up all night thinking about what they discussed. She won't leave.
She'll allow Nerverina to get close to the Alvarez family so that they're
better prepared, but she finds Nerverina suspect (says the #1 suspect herself).
Rem lectures her to learn to trust those who are close to her, they all want
the best for her. Sole still looks pensive. She knows that AnaLu will hate her
when she learns the truth, she's losing her already. She just recently acted
cold to her. Rem asks if she was confronted about Sofia, but Sole says not yet.
Rem advises her to talk to AnaLu before she looks into it on her own. She then asks Sole on what she plans to do with the
chest. As with all things relating to women and their chests, she plans to burn
it like a feminazi at a bra-bonfire. Rem doesn't think this is a good plan
(Well Rem, feminazis don't think you were a good plan either, but nobody's
writing letters to the jefe upstairs about it). Rem remedies that there are
memories in that chest of her lost daughter. Sole visibly aches over her beloved baby
girl.

AnaLet is putting on her crayola mask in front of the mirror and catches Santi watching her. She asks why he's looking at her like that. He says he's just looking (and probably wondering how many peels it would take to get to the center of that tootsie roll face). She poses asking him what he thinks. Santi misplaced his manual for proper husbandly responses to wife attire, so he resorts to a simple “Very good”. She's incredulous “That's it?” (Genie buzzes in his ear, “tell her she's magnificent, glorious—punctual”). Once he's done giving her some satisfactory superlatives, she tells him that she's starting to like his amnesia. The other night she felt like Marcelo was back, but in the shower it was like another man ....she finally met Santiago. She doesn't understand the change, but she enjoyed the gentleness different from his earlier roughness. (Guess there's no need for role play, when you've got split-identity disorder). Santi can't stand betraying himself, Marcelo wants to control his life. He felt him lurking the whole time he was with her. Neither can live while the other survives. Marcelo wants revenge. AnaLet wants to know with who, but Santi just wants them to leave. She says he can't go without something important, bringing out his ring. Aghast, he asks where she found it. She didn't realize he lost it but explains how earlier, she found her way into his pants (mmhmm child, both literally and figuratively). She then mentions that the family needs to inform him on an important matter. Her sister is alive and she plans on helping to find her. She notices his silence. He reveals that her change of attitude leaves him perplexed (it's ok Santi, she's a doozy for us too). She didn't want him to find her before. AnaLet explains that it took up his entire time away from her and distracted him from their relationship. He asks what changed to make her change her mind. His investigation apparently helped Ram when he resumed the case. Santi didn't have a chance to talk about any of this with Ram, so she divulges that AnaLu's bracelet was found and shows him her wrist. (Wait, is that her bracelet or AnaLu's? If so, I'm gonna have to ask Ms. Ernestina to lock up her jewelry in a Leticia-proof safe). He asks her if this makes her happy? She abruptly says she's hungry and leaves to eat brekky. Santi stays behind to look at his reflection (We don't blame you, sexathang), he helplessly mulls about what he's going to do.

Maribel and AnaLu are hanging out. She shows the ring she boosted off of Santi, but feels bad doing so. Bel supports her, in that she would've done the same thing. She offers optimistically that maybe his wife will find out it's missing, and divorce him. AnaLu guiltily reflects on the person she's becoming. It wasn't right to take her husband. Bel retorts “She took your love. You didn't know when you met him that he was married. That makes you innocent”. AnaLu confesses that she did know. She read his palm when they first met. Bel interjects that she wasn't sure. AnaLu reveals that she never understood why he mistook her for his wife and why he was so certain she was part of his past. But she didn't care, once she saw all the love in his eyes upon looking at her, it was all she could do not to take it; it was only come to realize much later that the love he had wasn't meant for her. She continues to cry as she unloads what she felt in her intuition. “I stole it, the truth is I've always known. I didn't mind being placed as his lover.” Bel sees that her friend is tormented by this and hugs her.

Tin congratulates Valeria on a new shipment she’s excited about receiving for the foundation. But Dreadmundo comes into the office to break some bad news. An equipment delivery had been canceled and it happened from this particular office. Valeria says it was all authorized in the documents by Erne. He tells her that there was embezzlement and he’d like to give her a chance to fess up before reporting to Erne or the cops. There's still time to fix this, he's sure that there's an explanation and pressures her to be honest. Villantin isn't being very helpful and asks her to cooperate. She's surprised he doubts her too. She declares her innocence “I'm not a thief!”. Dreadmundo repeats that it happened at her computer 2 days prior at 10 pm. She claims she wasn't there at that time, but Tin corrects her because he found her there working, oddly very late. It was the night he invited her to dinner. Dreadmundo elaborates that the money vanished that day and transferred to several untrackable accounts abroad. She thinks this is a mistake and there has to be a way to fix this. Dreadmundo gives her 2 options: Return the money and resign from your position, or have charges filed against you. “Tell me how you want this to end”. (Viewerville impulsively orders a tomato launcher on ebay, express shipping).

| Poor Valeria |
Evil-risto is dining at Chana’s place. She is still requesting that he let her see the ladies (I mean, does she really need his permission? This is getting weirdly daddy-like). She senses that they both need her. She can't let the pobrecita, AnaLu's heart to become hard as stone. Only love can save her. She implores him to let her save her. (Chana and Sole's definition of love seem to have been one of prevention, rather than protection. I'm not too keen on this hechicera). Evil-risto appears impactado.

Abue is having brekky with her nietas. Erne includes them in her plans to call the private investigator.
AnaLet thanks her for
making them a part of this. Erne is happy for their support, she wants them to
know everything and promises to no longer hide anything again. Llora would like
Ram to also be included, he worked hard to get them this far. AnaLet plans to
cancel all her appointments at work while Llora has to do a few things at the
foundation, where she'll have Ram pick her up. Erne is sure Marcelo would want
to join them on their sister-hunt, he knows the investigator who worked for him
many years before. AnaLet pauses at this and asks who it might be. Erne names
the investigator: Evaristo Guerra!

Woke up early, mama's got things to do. Recap is done, just need to make it more colorful, magical and fix the grammatical. Post should be up w/in the hour. Discuss, make a fuss, or lurk if you must, just get ready for a ride on the Banana bus ;)
Crap, I forgot to put gas. Alright, then just sit here. BRB.

Your intro is so funny...Can't wait to read your recap. It looks like Santi is going to fall under AnaLet's spell again...

Oddly enough, right now I can't remember a single thing about the episode, but I DO remember the avances.
Oh, ohhh. I'm starting to remember the episode now. Thanks in advance, Bananana, for adding magic. I hope the magic will help Valeria.
And before I forget to mention it: I was thinking last night that Santi (when he's really Santi) actually has the upper hand over AnaLet because she's way more invested in their marriage than he is. I loved how frantic she became when he was ready to call the whole thing off. Too bad she guilted him out of it!

Greetings to all in CarayCarayland. I have been catching up here and there with two TNs - this being one of them. So big thanks to the recappers that make that possible. Reading is even faster than binge watching. The recappers have done such a great job - even pulling down double shifts! I do get a little confused with the different nicknames, but otherwise I have the main storyline.
Can someone explain Santiago / Marcelo a little for me? Is he experiencing a split personality and was Marcelo really a bad guy, or is he being manipulated to think he was a bad guy? And Marcelo, does he have some evil secret side to his personality, or is he also being manipulated. Thanks for clarifying.

Your intro has me so excited for the recap! I am loving your colorful, magical work! LOL "Crap, I forgot to put gas." that is the story of my life!
It seemed like there was a lot of talking this episode. I can't believe Santiago falls for Ana Let's manipulation every time! Not only did she cheat, lie and try to kill him once (that he knows of) she is a psycho! Santi saw how she broke her uncle's car windows! That should be a red flag that she's nuts, stay away! Stick with the sane triplet!
Julie I am with you, I do remember the previews and I am so excited for tonight!

Mena, I think the deal is that the Marcelo and Santi that we're seeing now are the divided yin and yang sides of the original Marcelo. In other words, Original Marcelo was both of these guys, and he was a good guy. But New Marcelo is just the cold, aggressive side of Original Marcelo, while Santiago is the sweet and passive side of Original Marcelo. Evaristo did manipulate Santi to believe that Marcelo was all bad, so that could be why, when Santi began to remember who he really was, all the Marcelo stuff had to come out as a separate personality over which Santi had no knowledge or control. Because Santi could never consciously allow that cold-blooded killing machine (so he thought) to surface.
Recap is up, screenshots and name-key coming shortly.
Aw shucks Virginia *shyly kicks dirt*. Do you really think so?
Julie Right? He was in the clear, and then AnaLet pushed her bosom up & let her snake of a tongue entrance him.
Steve Yes, see above reference to snake charming tongues & bosoms, and such.
Mena, welcome! I'm going to work on a redux version of everything that happened so far w/ a breakdown of each character. It'll help people who are just now getting introduced to this TN.
Oh my godzilla Lily, no kidding. I thought this TN was hitting the gas now that Santi is in the castle, but our princess isn't willing to reveal anything. The writers haven't given us anything worth getting excited about. I was kinda bored this week, I gotta say. Any leftover Valium from last recap? Patio surely needs it.

Julie: From seeing the 'unseen' parts of the show last night I was not sure AnaletME guilted Santi into her way of thinking....in the shower. Ha ha. I was curious how sincere she was on bended knee begging him to reconsider. My thoughts were that it was just another very good act on her part.
I was happy to see that Viri-deary has her number referring to her as unbearable to Ghoulietta. Even after AnaletME did cajole TioIncest into buying one of Viri's Frankendresses.

Too funny Anna!! Loved this, just snickering away here in my little office world eating my lunch. Great recap.
"(Ok, she may have used the word “insecurity” here. Guarever ….tomato, potato) and the little nod to our dear Judy were wonderful.
Mena: Welcome, welcome!! So glad you are joining in the discussion. Good question on San/Mar and one, to be honest, I think most of us are trying to get a better handle on. The other day, I thought we definitely are seeing a split personality, not necessarily the true individuals that once existed and that makes it a tad confusing. Marcelo seems harsher and colder, more the controlled cop/investigator he was though he was supposed to be a "nice guy" per Ram, and Santi seems to be all things gentle and caring and more simple in his taste and likes. So it's like the injury he suffered has taken the best and worst of who Marcelo may have been once, and split them to create two separate entities. And of course, we will want the Santi side to win in the long run but we have A LONG way to go.
Does burn me we came THIS close to Santi getting out of AnaLoon's clutches, but again, too early. So if Santi joins the Scooby Gang searching for the lost sister, will he openly help lead them to AnaLu, or is he going to steer them away? If he steers them away, sorry, no matter how cute he is, that's wrong. I guess we'll see.
I missed a chunk last night with a phone call, so no Inaki again? What's up with that?

Thank you, Ana, for the recap and all the humor! "Punitentiary" was the best.
I liked
that Ernestina set Ana Laura free to make her own decision about going away with Ramiro.
that Viridiana has Ana Leticia's number and has noticed how the family jumps to fulfill her every whim.
Too bad that Santiago/Marcelo is in no condition to make any decisions until his personalities are better integrated and who knows how long that is going to take.
So Evaristo was eating over at Chana's . . . Interesting.

Awesome job, Anna!
My favorite scene was the one between Erni and Ana Laura. I like that Erni caught herself and made an immediate correction to her reaction and gave Ana Laura good advice. It showed some real character growth. It also took away Ana Laura’s easy out. I think she was hoping that Erni would say no, and that would be that. Now she has to make the decision herself and confront her insecurities.
OK. Now that Santiago has made love to Ana Leticia, it’s time for Marcelo to make love to Ana Lucia. I was also frustrated that that Santiago gave in to Ana Leticia. Although it was amusing to see her groveling and playing nice once she realized that Santiago didn’t give a damn and was willing to walk away from her and their marriage right then and there.

Can I just say I would love to be the Angelique Boyer's stand in? She gets to kiss Ruilli, Zepeda, Inaki and a host of other hot guys. I wonder how Angelique feels when she has to see her kiss Ruilli? I guess it helps feed motivation for whichever Ana she is at the moment.
I too liked that Erni gave Llora some good advice. Llora should just show Ram matter-of-factly the leg before even getting close to intimate. That way when the moment comes she won't be thinking about it.
Tin Tin is obviously in on the scam with Ram's father. Or he knows what the guy is up to and is going along. Poor Val.

Carvivlie- You said, "I wonder how Angelique Boyer feels when she has to see her (Angie's stand in) kiss Rulli ." (I would gladly volunteer for this job!)
Probably the same way he feels when he has to watch her kiss Zepeda and Inaki!

"She [Ana Laura} explains that Ram has invited her on a lay-cation (well, she didn't really say it like that, but Erne can already smell the pheromones on this one)."
Wow..what a sassy line. Among many! But it was interesting to see Ernestina backtrack. And explain honestly about her first reaction ( strict upbringing talking) and her second (wistful experience talking). I'm old enough that I can tell you I would NEVER have had that kind of go-ahead from either my mom or a grandmother. But times have changed.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm generous of heart and will gladly sign my beloved blue-eyed Tio Mariano over to Ms. Viridiana, if he promises to make her wildly happy all her blessed life...and be faithful, dang it! No more booty calls for you Tio.
Thanks for the hilarious intro, the multitude of puns and wise-cracks and the shout out. Always fun. Now off to eat some vegetables for lunch!
Any word on the interview?

I'm guessing tonight might be a dream sequence again. The man AnaLu was kissing was dressed as the Marcelo personality, and we know she can't stand his assk. I'd love to be the stand-in for her, and Gina. They shuffle through these men like a deck of cards. Now of course, I'd be professional about it, but I would definitely be enjoying the swapping of the lips. Ramiro can sign papers on my tookus and zip my dress, while Inaki gives me his up-close and personal stare-down. I'm scared of what I might do if they were either Rulli or Mariano lol.
JudyB Lol glad you liked. And of course, your generosity shouldn't go unnoticed. There should be awards given for that kind of sacrifice. I don't mind blue-eyes moving onto Viri so long as he cuts off the leech.
Final interview is next week. It'll be 2 days of projects that they'll throw at me. We'll see how it goes, but it all looks promising. I've never not nailed an interview, but fingers, toes, legs, and eyes crossed nonetheless :)

Anna, you belong in a punitentiary! "Extra-verguenza," LOL!
Any chance Nerina could be the third sister? I know we're all thinking it's Soledad, but with the way Nerina and Ernestina hit it off, I have to wonder. Not to mention, their names rhyme!
The discussion between Remedios and Soledad about the chest was weird. Did it never occur to either of them that she could burn just some of the stuff without burning all of it? Keep the stuff about Sofia, which wasn't a crime, and burn the stuff about Ana Lu, which is evidence that Sole knew exactly whose child she was stealing. DUH. I can't wait till AnaLu sees this stuff.
"wondering how many peels it would take to get to the center of that tootsie roll face." No kidding, she really layers the stuff on. I think Ernestina would look better with less makeup, too. AnaLet's face looks like it's made of plastic. And I think the excess makeup on Ernestina looks harsh too.
I think the bracelet AnaLet showed Santi was her own. She was saying that she knew AnaLu was still alive because she had made the bracelet longer as she grew, as AnaLet had done.
So, is Villantin working with Dreadmundo? That would be interesting, especially since Villantin prolly doesn't know that Dreadmundo was stealing from his family when his father was sick.
Another nickname used for Edmundo: Ratmundo.
Thank you again, Anna Banana (or as we say in this neck of the woods, "Anner Bananer.")

Thanks Julie! Lol Ratmundo, I forgot that one. I'll add it to the list!
It's for sure Solebad, b/c Ev is tied to her mother who is the reason he wants revenge against Ernestina's father.
So true about the chest, it sounds like she holds onto the chest items in the same way she holds onto her guilt. Maybe it's some sort of self-flagellation for her.
Thanks for clarifying on the bracelet, although I wouldn't put it past her to go grabbing jewelry that isn't hers.
Yes, he and Ev discussed that he'd put someone in place to handle the foundation's financial collapse. This'll force them to raise money, and Tin to convince Llora to do projects w/ him. I bet he'll regret helping them once he finds out the truth about his own family's bankruptcy. This might be the thing that turns Tin around and redeems him

No problem :)
I'm not sure whether you guys notice, but I try to capture the cinematography of the show. They use alot of mirroring, which is why alot of my screenshots either show mirrors or parallels of scenes. For instance, I had a wideshot of Ev eating breakfast with Chana and was going to place it as a reflection of the Alvarez breakfast. I preferred Ev's impactado face, so I went for that close-up shot instead. But often, I'll try to bring some of the visual atmosphere or create my own interpretation in my recaps. If I stack screenshots, it's b/c I want to show movement. So Ramiro knocking Llora's hands off her hips or Ana Leticia shooting finger-guns will help give you a gif-like idea of the scene. *Shrugs* just thought it'd be little something for you guys who are interested in that kinda stuff or to keep an eye on when watching beautifully edited shows like this :)

Anna- I'd also add Oily for Orlando.
Great screen shots, and I very much appreciate the work you put into them. Many thanks, amiga. And all the best on your next round of interviews and assignments!

And thank you for the kind wishes Vivi! It's always nice to have all your support whether it's here or outside the blogs :)
Good luck Anna. If you did the interview half as brilliantly as the recap, you're a shoo in.
Judy, you never cease to amaze me with your kindness and sweet self. Maybe Tio should make Viri happy and we'll all clap excitedly ( since we know it would make AnaLoon implode), but Viri has nothing on you. He doesn't know what he's missing.
Only reason I'm freaking out about Santi doing the deed with AnaLoon is I sooooo don't want a dual pregnancy plot. I know we talked about it the other day, but the more I think about it, the more I dread the idea.
I want me some Inaki tonight...poor guy. He's out in the cold woman wise. I know he's a smuck, but maybe a good woman can help. Viri have a sister? I'll volunteer if need be.

Anna you are a hoot and appreciate the retelling and the index of stars.
"lay-cation" hehehe
I cannot wait till Marcelo tells Lucia about the rubadubdub in the tub with his wife. Actually Marcelo is quite the clever boy and surprised more folk haven't tried the split personality excuse.

Once again Anna Nab your recap is far more entertaining that the best Univision can do with a staff of a hundred and Rulli and Boyerx3. Laycation just cracks me up.
It seems Santi let the cat out of the bag, that we men can do GREAT undercover work with someone we don't even like. Oh Well, now everybody knows. RATS.

Anna, this was awesome - thanks! My favorite one-liners and parts:
"Ms. YouGotSomeNerve-rina"
She explains that Ram has invited her on a lay-cation (well, she didn't really say it like that, but Erne can already smell the pheromones on this one)
I wonder if Ram knows Llora is a total pillow-hogger
He can't even convince his girlfriend to go on a weekend strip —er, trip
Wait, is that her bracelet or AnaLu's? If so, I'm gonna have to ask Ms. Ernestina to lock up her jewelry in a Leticia-proof safe
And many many others! I don't always get time to comment, but really adore your captioned and illustrated awesome recaps - thanks again!!
As I am late to the party as usual, did not have time to read through comments, but was also upset at Rem and Nerina for convincing Sole it's ok to continue lying to Ana Lu. Also Santiago was not my favorite this epi for giving in to Ana Le. I hope it is not a dream sequence today, we need some positive action here!

Wpw...came back and found all these screenshots and hilarious captions. My fave is definitely the Narcissist Hotline. What a hoot.
Second interview for AnaBanana sounds very promising. Hope you'll be giving us good news soon!
And Daisynjay...yep, I think it's about time we have another scene of Iñaki changing his shirt or something. My interest in his musculature is strictly professional, you understand, but just sayin'.....

Great work, Ana. My fave: Viri explains how her extravaganza was a bit of an extra-verguenza. Frankendresses, indeed!
Gahhhhh, I'm like 2 seconds away from putting up an empty discussion post on behalf of Ria for tonight's episode! But I'll wait til Ria's ready. Ay dos mio, I was so worried this week was going to stay boring but I've just about run out of gasps and squeals from this new epi. Ay yi yi, I can't even focus on Narcos. Bravo to the writers on this one, must see TV!! Can't wait for Ria's recap. Girl, you could not have gotten a juicier episode! I'm in complete envy. Yaaay, what a rush :D
Thank you ladies for all your encouragement, and thank you to the lurkers who simply read our attempts at entertaining you. The funny comments are really where the recaps are allowed to shine. I'm laughing at volunteer work, rubadubdub, undercover work, strictly professional musculature, and Frankendresses. I def feed off of this stuff, otherwise I couldn't pun my way out of a punctuation!
