Thursday 9/15/16 A Que No Me Dejas #4 (Full Recap) Twisted Sisters

We serve the refitos of  crazy Julieta calling Paulina and telling her how much she hates Paulina and her family.  She chugs her Clorox cocktail before telling Pau that It’s all on her when Julieta bleaches herself out.   

Ines scolds Edgar for abusing Mau as a frightened Chelo looks on.  Ed says he was instructing the boy, but Ines says this isn’t instruction it’s abuse. 
Jaime tells Adrian that his primos are interested in starting up a business with him, but he has to be the one to go there and start it up because they have no clue about the publicity business.  Jaime thinks it would be good if Adrian took the opportunity to go to Playa Linda and start it up, because Jaime needs to stay behind to wrap up what clients they have left.  It’s not too far and it would be the opportunity Adrian has been looking for to go elsewhere to start a new life with Pau.

Ines tells Ed if he continues abusing Mau he can forget about her or Gonz’s support.  Ed thinks Ines is overstepping, because Mau is his kid and he knows how to train up his child.  Well this isn’t training, it’s abuse and if Ed keeps it up, Ines is going to call the authorities on him and take Mau away.  Ed tells her she can’t do that.   Ines says…try me!  TRY.ME.  All the stress of the situation causes Ines to become lightheaded but she recovers and instructs Chelo to take Mau’s things to her room while she carries Mau out.   Before Chelo can leave Ed grabs her and tells her that if they get put out, it’s her fault and she’ll pay for it.

Jaime thinks that once Adrian is away and happy, that Julieta will finally realize he’s happy and she’ll get over it. Adrian thinks it’s a good idea.  Karen is about to get the good news of Adrians opportunity when the phone rings.  It’s Pau who needs to speak urgently with Adrian.   She tells him his locita hermana is about to commit Cloro-cide!   Pau gathers up her stuff and tells Mica to keep the situation hush!

Gonzalo comes into the room to find Ines cradling a bruised up Mau, he sees red when Ines fills him in.  He’s loaded for bear and burst into Edgars room.   He tosses the alcoholic around the room and tells him that he is done and to get out of the house.  Ed panics, he had nowhere to go and he’s in debt to some guys who will kill him if he doesn’t pay up.  Gonz says he’ll give him the $$’s for the debt, but he can forget about a job or staying in his house any longer.  Manana, you hit the streets!   Ed says, fine but he’ll take his boy.  Gonz says nope.  Ed says ok well then pay me double for the kid and you can have him.

Jaime and Adrian find Loonieta and her Clorox. She has a pulse and they call an ambulance. They wonder how she could do such a thing.  I wonder how they didn’t realize how loopy this woman really is.

Gonz is incredulous that Ed would sell his own kid.  Ed says hey don’t judge me..youre the last one to call me out. Gonz appears ready to kill Ed but he restrains himself and agrees, but it will be legal.  Ed agrees to sign over his rights.  After Gonz leaves,  the desperate alkie crawls around looking for his flask and finds it under the bed.  He takes a long celebratory chug.

Adrian says he’ll go with Loony to the hospital. Pau offers to go but Adrian says it’s better she stay, he’ll let her or Karen know the stat when he gets to the hospital.

Pariah Nuria finds Camilo at the club.  She receives a cool reception and figures out that Cami is upset with her.  She tells him she’s not responsible for what Pau told her and then did.  Cami isn’t buying her lies and figures out this is another one of Nuria’s  I-want-what-Pau-has  games.  She can never get what Pau has without resorting to games.

Ines finds Chelo soothing Mau to sleep.  Anguished Chelo wonders what will become of her poor little nino.  Chelo wishes Ed had been sober..how different Mau’s little life would be. Now he’ll be with no mother or father.  Ines tells her not to worry, Chelo and Mau will be okay.  Chelo worries Ed is into something bad with the strange guys he’s always meeting.

Nuria says whatever, but she does love Adrian and she wants him.  Cami says good luck, because her Papi doesn’t like Adrian and will never accept him for Pau or her.  Nuria says she has a better method. Pregnancy! A son.  Her father will love having a grandson and he’d finally have the heir that he’s always wanted. Camilo laughs and calls her idea ridiculous. You can’t guarantee a son, and it’s the stuff of telenovelas! She says well it works. Cami tells Nuria she isn’t in love with Adrian, it’s just another game to have what Pau has as it was with him when Camilo was with Pau.  Once Cami and Pau broke up, suddenly Nuria lost interest.  Camilo says Nuria can forget using him  to hurt Paul.

Gonz comes back into the bedroom and instructs Chelo to take Mau and his things to Pau’s room; where he will now sleep.

Monica tells mama Elisa that the boys are finally asleep.  They were so happy and tired after the day they spent with their father.  Elisa says they should be, he so rarely shows up and Rene’ is finally starting to speak up.  Monica thinks it’s because Elisa is planting the seeds in her sons head.  Elisa thinks her daughter has no dignity where Gonz is concerned.  All he has to do is show up with gifts and baubles and he falls into her bed and she falls into his lies.   Monica doesn’t want to hear anymore and if her mother insists, then Monica will have to put her out.

Chelo comes back to retrieve Mau’s things, and Gonz tells her she isn’t to tell Ed where Mau is and if the drunkard dares to come out of his room, Chelo is to tell them.  Gonzalo announces that tomorrow Ed is out on the streets.  Chelo worries that this means she and Mau are out too.  Ines tells her no…from now on she and Mau will live there with them.   Chelo is relieved and happy.   Alone, Ines thanks her husband for his huge and generous heart.  He tells her he wants her happy always.  They both look forward to having a child in the house again..full of laughter and joy.  Ines says Mau will be like the son he always wanted but she could never give him.  Gonz assures Ines, that he has always been complete with her and their daughters. 

Elisa is hurt that her daughter would threaten to put her out. She lays the I-did-everything-for-you-and-the-boys guilt trip on her daughter who apologizes and relents.  Monica tells Elisa she doesn’t have to like her decisions, but she must respect them and stop pitting her sons against their father.   Elisa takes one last opportunity to remind Monica that Gonzalo is only oppressing and dominating her.  It’s time she stand up for more than mere crumbs and give the man an ultimatum!

The Doctor informs Jaime and Adrian that they pumped Loonieta’s stomach. She’s lucky, but she needs help.  Was there something that propelled her to do this? Family problems? Fighting?

Pau comes home and tells her parents she was with Karen.  Nuria says Karen or Adrian?  Because surely Karen is  her cover.  Pau tells her sister to stop causing trouble, but Nuria keeps on and mentions the visit from Loony earlier in the day.  Wait you didn’t tell our parents about crazy coming and almost strangling you to death?  Why you even have the marks to prove it. Paul thinks her sister is causing trouble, but Nuria says know she just doesn’t lie to her parents, like her sister. 

Adrian tells the doc that there have been some stresses with Julieta and a family squabble.  The doctor says well some people attempt these things as a bid for attention. It’s why they make a call to someone before hand.  Julieta didn’t really want to die.  She needs psychiatric help, pronto!

Gonz and Ines are horrified and insist she move that scarf.  Gonz is livid and says this is it. The woman dared to come to his house and insult him and now to try and kills his daughter!  Pau insists she wasn’t going to kill her.   Gonz says well it’s the last time because they are going to go to the Police and file a report so she can go to jai!

Jamie and Adrian both are in agreement that Loonieta needs help. Adrian says he wont go to Playa now but Jaime insists.  The doctor was right, it was a stunt to get Adrian’s attention and if he doesn’t go Julieta will think she has achieved her objective.

Pau begs for them to not do that, but Gonz says too bad, and you also need to dump Adrian.  Pau can’t give up the love of her life.  He’s not to blame for what his sister does.  Gonz the negotiater makes an offer ..Julieta in jail, or bye bye Adrian.  You pick hija!

Loony wakes to find herself in hospital, she tries to remove the iv.  Instead of being happy to be alive and with her husband, she instead begs for Adrian.  Jaime drags her crazy ass for pulling this stunt.  He knows she didn’t want to die, she wanted to make Adrian feel bad and Pau to be guilty but it didn’t work.  Thankfully she is alive.  She continues asking for Adrian and Jaime tells her he is gone, and very upset with his sister. 

Now in her room, a heartbroken Pau sits on her bed and takes her ring off, she cries.. resigned that she will break up with Adrian.

Exhausted from all the drama-cide, Adrian comes back to Karen’s.  He tells her his sister is alright but he feels guilty for everything.  He is grateful to his sister for all she had done caring and loving him.  Karen says there is difference between feeling guilty and indulging his sister’s antics.  Adrian just doesn’t want to leave his brother to deal with all of it.  Karen says, Jaime is Julieta’s husband. 

Back at the hospital Loony continues begging to be released but Jaime says no, and if she doesn’t relax he’ll call the doctor to come give her a tranquilizer (I’d get a prescription to take home Jaime!) She keeps on and on Adrian..blah blah blah.  Jaime can’t believe that her husband is there with her..but all she can do is ask for Adrian.  She tells him..wait for it….to not start DRAMA with her!  She is losing Adrian and she can’t do anything to stop it. 

Nuria tells her parents that she didn’t mean to hurt her sister, she really only wanted to protect her.  Gonz says she did the right thing.  Satisfied that her shenanigans of the day have succeeded, Nuria slithers up to bed, but not before standing out in the hallway to eavesdrop on her parents.   Ines wants to check on Pau, but Gonz stops her.  Ines feels so bad for her daughter and conflicted for Adrian, he’s a good person. Gonz has no compassion,  it’s what has to be done “ muerto el perro se acabó la rabia”  Kill the dog you get rid of the rabies.   Gonz believes in the same way Pau got over Camilo when he left to New York, so she will eventually get over Adrian.  Ines feels this is a different time and a different relationship.  Gonz says it’s time to turn the page on this and his word is final.

Paul calls Karens place and is surprised to hear Adrian, she thought he would be at the hospital.  He tells her Julieta is going to be fine.  He senses something in her voice..a sacredness or sadness. She tells him that she needs to speak to him tomorrow face to face at the beach.   After hanging up, she pulls out a photo album and through tears remembers her courtship with Adrian.  She kisses her ring.

The next day Julieta awakens to see her Corazon Adrian in the room with her.  She is elated that he has come.  He tells her he wasn’t going to but he needed to see her.  He thanks her for all of her love and care over the years but he can no longer endure her manipulations and her suffocating love.   Julieta blames Pau for his new attitude but he says no, she needs to let him be happy.  Julieta says no..not with Pau.  Adrian tells her that is the woman he loves, he wants to be with for the rest of his life.  Why can't she understand that? Julieta isn’t having it or hearing it..she covers her ears like a child.   Julieta doesn’t want him to leave her.

Mau wakes up and Pau wants to know how he got the bruises did he fall?  Just then Chelo comes in and tells her of Ed’s abuse. She tried to talk to Pau earlier when she came in but she knows her parents found out about Julieta’s visit.   Chelos swears she didn’t tell Nuria, and she has no idea how the pariah could have found out since she wasn’t even there.   Pau is more concerned with Ed and Mau, but Chelo tells her not to worry.  Her parents are kicking Ed out, and she and Mau are going to live there now.  Pau is happy.

Julieta begs Adrian to stay with her, she’s not crazy! All she wants is his love.  Adrian tells her if she wants him in her life she must seek psychiatric help.  She begins twitching.   Adrian leaves to go see about her release and she mumbles over and over to herself.  She’ll think about it.

Ed meets with Gonz in his study all the while eyeing the well stocked bar.  Gonz knows Ed is twitching for a drink.  Ed knows that Gonz has always wanted a son. Gonz says he isn’t a man who wants for anything.  Ed goes for the drink, but Gonz stops him.  Ed says well how about that check? Shall I go to your office tomorrow get it?  Gonz says nope, we’re doing this legally as I said and my attorney Alfonso is getting the documents ready.  Ed says he doesn’t it said he sold his kid or he’ll be brought up on child trafficking.  Gonz tells him to stop with stupid stuff.  They are going to legally adopt Mau, give him their last name and go by the legal channels. This is the last day you see him.   Ed jokingly says ok, but don’t think about returning him.  Gonz gives the drunkard a chilly stare.   I think Ed isn’t getting his check but instead a coffin.

At breakfast table Pau informs her mother she is glad they will be taking over Mau’s care.  It’s the best news they’ve had lately amid so much bad.  Ines takes the opportunity to express her regret about Adrian.  Pau doesn’t know why her mother can’t support their relationship.  Ines says she tried but now seeing poor Mau, reminds her that Pau is her child that she doesn’t want to see hurt either.   She hates that Pau must give up the love of her life but it’s for her own good.   At that moment Pariah comes in and Pau excuses herself, bumping into her father on the way out.   She informs him she is going to check on Mau and then do as her father instructed her…terminate things with Adrian.    

Adrian sits on a pier waiting for his love when she comes along.  She makes it quick…my parents found out what happened with Juliet and if I don’t dump you, she goes to jail.   She kisses him goodbye and tells him she loves him.  Adrian says nope, not that easy.  You think by breaking up with me you will extinguish our love?   Pau knows it wont but what can they do?   Adrian says they need to find a way to fight against his sister and her parents.  Pau says he’s right..she knows exactly how.  They will tell everyone they have broken up but love each other in secret.    Steamy tongue torching kisses!

Thank you. I missed the first episode. I am watching the second one right now, and as a Spanish beginner and with the summaries, I am beginning to identify who is who and what is going on. Since I am behind, I am going to try to read summaries before I watch the episode. Lots of faces who I have seen before but with different hair color :).

Gracias!

Wouldn't it be wacky if Adrian actually somehow fell in love with Loonieta? I know it's nuts but if it happens I want their love song to be Love Me Tender By Elvis Presley LOL .

Atleast Loonieta is getting medical attention now but it will take much more to cure the incurable. Meanwhile Nuria is still out there being a threat to Mau, Pau and Adrian.

I was so rooting for Ines when she stood behind supporting Mau. Her face expressed deep love, care but at the same time an malignent anger. The anger that turns normal people into beasts capable of anything to protect their cubs.


 

Here are some of the lyrics for Love Me Tender that now creep me out thanks to Loonieta &Rebecca from El Color

"Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time. "
 

Nuria is unworthy of anyone's love, including that of her parents. If you discount the murder committed by Ana MeMeME in TVA, Nuria is the most selfish brat of the moment. At least Ines knows this, but I'm wondering how it is she let that happen.

It was nice to see Inez and Gonzalo as a united front against Edgar and in their support of Mau. I also loved Gonzalo giving Edgar a taste of his own medicine and slapping him around. Although I know Gonzalo also has his own selfish reasons for wanting to get rid of Ed, you could also tell that he has true love for Mau and was outraged that Ed would dare lay his hand on the child.

Gonzalo also has his own selfish reasons for wanting Paulina to end things with Adrian, but I understand any parent being freaked out when they learn their child was almost strangled to death by one of her soon-to-be in-laws. That was even the limit for Inez. But I was disappointed in Paulina for caving to their demands and breaking up with Adrian. I'm glad he at least talked her into the "secret" relationship, but how do they think that's going to work?
 

Thanks, Delilah! I'm a little behind and haven't watched this episode yet, but I look forward to reading your recap.

Welcome to the AQNMD Patio, Cindy! Glad you could join us! :)
 

Thank you so much, Delilah! The abuse in this episode (at least in the beginning) was a lot to handle. Poor Mauricio. Surprisingly, Gonzalo is the perfect example of a "gray" human being. So horrible about some things but so caring for others. The way he stood up for Mauricio when he found out Edgar had hit him left me with my mouth open.

He is this man who possibly defrauded and flat out ruined some people, is marrying is daughter off without a care in the whole and the biggest thing, has maintained an affair for 10 years and with kids but he would never hurt nor condone hurting a child. At least we can say he's 80% a piece of S***.

Paulina and Adrian also continue to surprise. I thought she would go to break up with him but she couldn't. In fact, she came up with an even better plan to be with Adrian! We'll have to see if it all pans out as they hope but, for now, a good start.

Jaime also surprisingly intelligent in this episode. He perfectly deduced why Julieta had done it and told Adrian to go so she could realize that maybe her antics aren't going to work anymore. Adrian went the next day but at least she didn't have the immediate satisfaction of having him at her bedside.

I have to say I much prefer Julieta to Nuria. Julieta has deep motivations, resentments and mental illnesses to support her being a suicidal, crazy lunatic. Nuria's just a brat and there's nothing that annoys me more than a brat.


 

Delilah- This was a wonderful recap. I see you got just as much enjoyment out of Gonzo's beatdown of Edgar as I did. :) Somehow, I don't think we or Gonzo will be rid of Ed just yet. Unless Gonzo decides to take matters into his own hands and beat Ed's bookies to the punch.

Superalfie- I like your assessment that Gonzo is "80% a piece of S***." LOL! I couldn't believe he kept a straight face as both Inez and Ed brought up how he doesn't have the male children he always desired. Ha!


 

Gracias, Delilah.

Gonzalo continues to surprise. However, he should have stood firm on getting Julieta arrested for attempted murder. Nuria would testify to that in the hope that this would alienate Paulina from Adrian and she would have been so wrong to assume that. Adrian would probably have been relieved, since that would have sent Julieta straight to a facility for the criminally insane.

Paulina should not have defended her. That is her first stupid move.

Why on earth did Jaime marry Julieta in the first place? I don't get that at all.

We can certainly expect Nuria to cause more Perils of Paulina before this goes much further.

I'm guessing Julieta has become more unhinged over the years, especially as Adrian has gotten older and more independent of her. I can imagine that when Adrian was a pre-teen and Juli was this young woman devotedly taking care of her little brother, she would have seemed sweet and noble, even if a bit awkward and quirky. I could see that attracting a nice guy like Jaime.
 

Thank you for the comprehensive and colorful retelling of this episode, Delilah! Excellent job! Here were my favorites amongst your word creations: "another one of Nuria’s I-want-what-Pau-has game"; "he falls into her bed and she falls into his lies."; "if she doesn’t relax he’ll call the doctor to come give her a tranquilizer (I’d get a prescription to take home Jaime!)"; and "Steamy tongue torching kisses!" (Paulina and Adrián do have scorching chemistry, don't they? Love this pairing!)


Countx, "Her face expressed deep love, care but at the same time an malignent anger. The anger that turns normal people into beasts capable of anything to protect their cubs." Inés was a lioness in that confrontation! I thought she was going to bite Édgar's head off. I like the fact that she isn't a pushover. She is kind, noble, generous but she doesn't let people walk all over her (except Nuria, unfortunately).

Superalfie, "Surprisingly, Gonzalo is the perfect example of a "gray" human being. So horrible about some things but so caring for others." We didn't see Édgar hit the little boy, thank goodness, but Mauricio's scared expression made me cry. My nephew is a couple of years younger but he is tall. He is the same height and build as little Mauricio. They also have the same curly hair and eyes, except that my wee nephew has brown eyes and brown hair. I saw my wee nephew in that little boy terrified face and I burst into tears. There is a special place in hell for those monsters who would hurt a child like that. It was great to see Gonzalo smack Édgar and throw him around the room like ragdoll. I just wish he wouldn't give him any money. Denounce him to the authorities and kick him out of the house. With those thugs after him, Édgar won't survive a day. And as Gonzalo himself said during the episode: "Muerto el perro, se acabó la rabia."

Vivi, I laughed out loud at the same bit as well! And I laughed again when I read about it in the recap! "Gonz assures Ines, that he has always been complete with her and their daughters." Yeah, 'cause he got a baby mama and two sons on the side! :D

I was touched by Paulina's scene with Adrián at the beach. I didn't interpret her words as a breakup. She just told him what happened, said she loved him and kissed him goodbye, as in Bye! See you later! She never said I'm breaking up with you but we must break up or your sister goes to jail. This is the dilemma. I love you. I'm sure that they would've discussed it later, on the phone, at Karen's or elsewhere. That's the impression I got anyway. I'm glad they found a solution right there and then though.

I like your theory about how Julieta managed to land Jaime. He liked the sensitive, caring, quirky, shy gal then she transformed into a brother-loving, Clorox-chugging, people-choking, emotionally blackmailing, twitchy obsessive LOCA! That poor man!

Urban, Nuria is a terrible sister and human being but personally, I think the title of the most selfish brat of the current novela line-up goes to Nora from ECDLP. Julieta is in a class of her own as far as toxic sisters. I totally agree that she should be interned pronto because she causes more physical harm to herself and others.

Thanks Delilah and everyone! Good night :)
 

Sorry for the typo, I meant *before she causes more physical harm to herself and others.
 

Now that I've seen a couple of episodes, can I just say that, I don't know how Carlos Moreno and his team do it, but the casts always have such great chemistry. Some of his novelas may be better than others or we may be fans of some over others, but the casts always bring their A-Game and I always believe what they're selling, even if behind the scenes there may be chaos, onscreen the cast shines.

***Highlight scenes***

Karen, Jaime and Adrian chatting it up like old buddies.

Paulina, Gonzalo and Ines talking about Adrian.

Chelo with Mauricio and Paulina with Karen.
 

Superalfie- Yes, Carlos Moreno's cast always has good chemistry and look like they've become good friends behind the scenes. He's also just very good at showing friendships between people, especially his female characters, which I like.
 

Hello patio pals! A que no me dejan de leer in my new recap of episode #5. Is up!
 

Nandicta: Twisted Sisters indeed (similar to what's going on in "El Color De La Pasion" right now).
