Enamorándome de Ramón, Capítulo 25; Wednesday, September 13, 2017; Now that Video Suddenly Appears! (Or good news travels fast!)

As we left off yesterday, Fabi runs into Ramón’s arms crying about her bad luck about the cassette that disappeared. She tells him that with that proof, at least life might return to normal. She also says that how much she and Andrea miss Juana and even though Juana is not their mother, she is the only one they have left since their parents died who they can trust.

Margarita runs into Porfirio’s office and tells him the good news about there being as video cassette in existence that proves that Ricardo and Caty left a million dollar policy to Juana. Porfirio says he always believed that her mother was wrong and that Horrortensia owes an apology to Juana. Marg thinks it will be a cold day in Hell when that ever happens.

Andrea cries to herself about all the bad things that have happened just thinking about the situation. The doorbell rings and it’s Jorge. He says, “Forgive me.” They hug.

Margarita comes back to Horrortensia’s place to pick up the last of her things. As she comes in, Hortensia angrily says, “What are you doing here?” Margarita says she is there to pick up some papers and Horror says whatever she doesn’t take with her is going to go in the trash. She also says she is going to change the combination on the locks so Margarita can’t come back in. Hortensia scolds her again about having an affair with a married man. Margarita throws down the keys and says, “here, you can have them!” Margarita says he is separated in the process of divorce. Hortensia says, “It doesn’t matter. His ex will always be part of his life.”

While Antonio is waiting for Diego at school, Roxana shows up and he is not happy about it. He turns and says, “And you, what are you doing here?” She says, “I’m here to get my son.” He says, “Yes, and you show up here as though nothing has happened.” Antonio angrily runs down the laundry list of what Roxana is guilty of, including sending Virginia to Hortensia to report on his activities with Margarita. He accuses her also of abandoning their son to go off with another man. At that point Diego sees his mom, and comes running to her. Roxana turns around and takes Diego with her giving Antonio a look.

Margarita and Horrortensia continue to argue, with Marg telling her that she’s just angry because her father abandoned Horror. (Don’t blame him there, who wants to live with this horror show). Horror denies this of course and says that this is a moral issue and that this is a shame and discredit to the whole family. Horror tells Marg that Antonio will just view here as a “whatever” and one day Marg is going to find out how wrong she is and then maybe Horror will forgive Marg. Then Marg throws up the evidence looming about the video that will prove that the life insurance policy with Juana as the beneficiary is completely legitimate. But Horror won’t believe it. “Why in the Devil’s name would Ricardo do a thing like that?” Marg then says, “Evidence is evidence and Juana is going to receive that money!” Then Horror leaves the room.

Julio drives home talking to himself how he has to get his hands on that money!
Antonio calls Marg and asks to have supper with her at the local cafeteria letting her know that Roxana is back and needs to talk to her about the custody arrangements.

Abuela Horrortensia runs over to Fabi’s and Andrea’s place demanding to know about this video. She thinks she has a right to know all about this, ‘invention’ about the video. Jorge says that he already saw it and Andrea says she doesn’t have a right to see it. Then Andrea angrily tells her to leave. “Hmmmff”, says Horror. “to think I’m being thrown out of my own son’s home!”

Rulo and his co-conspirator (still don’t know his name) at the shop talk about how they are going to continue to get away with their illegal and unethical procedures cheating their employer and their customers.

Roxana visit Virginia at her office and Virginia is very glad to see her. Virginia gives her long and the short of the story regarding the insurance policy and the video cassette, Horrortensia, and the court determining the insurance policy was a fraud. Now this video shows the truth. Virginia cries that Julio once told her that if he had enough money he would leave her and now with this evidence, Julio will be able to administrate the account and will leave her.

At Julio’s office, his secretary tells him about a client who wants details of his accounts from the past five years in detail. (Sounds like Julio has been running Ponzi schemes). But Julio isn’t worried, he knows his million $$$ ship is coming in. He asks his secretary to bring him coffee, black.

Virginia finishes explaining the whole situation about how she took the video and if Jorge ever finds out, he will never forgive her. There is also the problem of her nieces losing on the money. Roxana asks if anyone knows if she has the cassette, but Virginia says no one except Julio who does suspect that she has it. So Roxana gives her some “good” advice. Although this looks like a lose-lose situation, she advises Virginia to think about how to cut her own losses and do what would be the least worst case scenario. She also advises to tell Julio she is returning the cassette only if he doesn’t leave her, or she will tell the world that he is after that money. Virginia says that she has never been able to confront Julio ever. So Roxana tells her to get used to it, she needs to learn how to take control of the situation and give him a taste of his own medicine. (chocolate).

On the phone, Fabi tells Jorge that someone has the cassette hidden, there is no other explanation. Jorge doesn’t know who would do a thing like that. Fabi tells Jorge she will be over after work to help him look for it.

Marg meets Antonio at the restaurant and he tells her what happened at the school with Roxana. She will make sure that Roxana doesn’t take Diego out of the country and that he is not separated from his son.  They go off to see the judge.

Horrortensia is talking to a picture of Ricardo and is lamenting about how he could have left the insurance to a servant but not to her. Then, a sudden pain strikes her head and she has to sit down.

Julio goes over to Virginia’s office looking for her. But Virginia’s assistant tells her she left with Roxana. Seems they are both out together at the place that looks like a McDonalds with the play area so that Diego can be entertained. Virginia gets a text from Julio wanting to know where the heck she is. Roxana tells her to not respond, but Virginia gets nervous decides to leave.

Rulo’s co-conspirator approaches Ramón as he is eating and asks about the work he is doing on that car that is under warranty. He says he is busy with it and is honoring the guarantee. Rulo and his friend talk about it and decide that Ramón is not suspicious, only thinks it had to do with faulty parts.

Antonio and Marg leave the courthouse and he asks how she thinks the judged seemed. Marg thinks the judge was very receptive, but reminds him that the law almost always favors the mothers’ rights in these cases. He still wants to go for custody. He gives her a quick hug and leaves. Marg looks sad.


Virginia returns to her store and Julio finds her. He grabs her by the arm and says, “What did you do with that cassette?” “Why do you think I have it?” says Virginia. “Because I already know you.” says Julio. He grabs her purse and pulls out the missing cassette! Julio says, “And what were you going to do with this?” Virginia lies and says she was going to give it back to Jorge and tell him that his father was only interested in taking advantage of Juana, that’s why she took it. She finally gets him to agree that if he ends up being the custodian of the money, he will never leave her. Of course Julio agrees to that.

When the get home Julio asks Luisa where Jorge is and he’s not home. He then asks her to make coffee. He takes the cassette and places it in Jorge’s bottom dresser drawer, obvious for him or anyone who opens the drawer to see. Luisa comes back with the coffee and she continues her chores of putting away clothes. She discovers the cassette as she puts away Jorge’s clean clothes.

Jorge comes home and Luisa comes excitedly running out to Jorge saying she found it the cassette! (Luisa then discreetly calls Juana).  They play the video and determine it is still intact. Julio says he will take care of the cassette while Jorge goes to tell Andrea.

Jorge then goes running to Andrea’s place to give her the good news and they excitedly embrace and end up in a romantic kiss. (music begins) After that kiss, Andrea decides it was a mistake. Jorge says he is in love with her, but she says that they cannot pursue this relationship. But she tells him “only cousins or nothing.” She tells him she does not feel the same about him. He leaves and tells her he was only there to tell her about the cassette.

Julio and Virginia keep talking about how this will benefit everyone even her. He again promises to never leave her and to always be by her side. (Of course we can tell he’s lying.) Later, Julio tells Luisa that he wanted to tell Juana about the cassette. Meanwhile, he’s on his way to see Don Pedro to tell him the good news and show him the video.

Juana calls Fabi to let her know that the cassette has been found! Fabi and Ramón are overjoyed. She shares the information with her Tío Antonio and calls her Tía Margarita. Good news travels fast!

Jorge gets back home and Luisa notices that something is wrong. Jorge denies anything is wrong and says it’s just been an emotional day. Osvaldo wants to know what is going on, but Jorge defers to Luisa to tell him.

Julio has cleverly made copies of the video and gives a copy to Don Pedro who will be taking it to the judge shortly.

At Luisa’s place where Juana and Ramón are living, Fabi is visiting they all happily discuss about the reappearance of that video. Juana is thankful to God that the video was found and believes it was God will for them to have it. Fabi wants to know if after she gets the insurance if she will come back and live with them. Juana doesn’t think so because of Horrortensia’s threat to reopen the case against Ramón. However, first they want to see what Horrortensia’s reaction to the insurance policy really being valid will be.

At Porfirio’s law office, Porfirio asks Marg about another case she is working on. Marg apologizes and tells him it’s not done yet and doesn’t know where he mind has been. “I know where your mind has been. It’s been on that subject of Antonio making her feel badly. She laments about how she is taking his custody case and how difficult it is to be near Antonio. Porfirio lets her know he knows how she feels when the person you love doesn’t know you are alive. She asks why he hasn’t told her about who he is interested in, is she married or what? No, Porfi says. “She is in love with someone else.” Marg says, “That really hurts, doesn’t it.” Porfi says, “Very much.” Before he leaves her office, he tells her at least the situation she had with Antonio freed her up from living with her mother.

Francisco is at home and receives a call from a lawyer at a collection agency regarding four months of rent payments for an office that are due. They are giving him a week to come up with the money before they start action against him. (He’s a doctor with a good job, what the heck does he do with his money?)

Benito gets home with a large box. He takes some selfies of himself to send to Luisa and she sends him one of herself looking all puckered up. The message he sent to her said: “Hurry up dear, my boiler is ablaze!”

Later we see him dancing under lights and disco ball dressed in a disco dancing suit. He is excited about being in a night of passion with Luisa.

Margarita arrives at Fabi and Andrea’s place. She wants to know why she isn’t celebrating. Andrea says she is just tired. They decide to make some dinner together.

Roxana calls Agustín and tells him everything is perfect. She is waiting for the perfect time to leave. Diego comes to the room and Agustin asks to speak to him, but Roxana and Agustín are surprised by Diego’s reaction. Diego firmly tells him he does not want Agustín to be novios with his mother and that he wants his mom and dad back together. Case closed. Roxana gets off the phone to go try to talk Diego. She tells Diego that Agustín didn’t deserve that treatment and she thought he liked Agustín. Diego explains that he once liked him, but no longer likes Agustín anymore. Roxana tells him that they are a couple now and they are all going to live in Miami. But Diego will have none of it and says to her that he has said a thousand times he does not want to leave. Then he asks to be left alone.


Julio arrives at Luisa’s home while Ramón, Fabi, and Juana are eating. He brings them the copy of the video that they are all dying to see. They put it on and all gather to watch Ricardo and Caty go through the litany of reasons of who they don’t want having the insurance and finally come up with Juana.

Thank You Cynthia. "Don’t blame him there, who wants to live this this horror show?" Was worth reading ten recaps just for that funny bone. And I agree. Shrieking Banshee. I'd love to test out some of that new Gorilla Glue Duct Tape I bought for Irma on her Megaphone Mouth. She can then either STFU or peel off her lips.

CuteMute has been pining for a kiss from Cuz Jorge for years and now it is just WRONG?

Further evidence that women don't know what they want and when they think they do they can be so wrong. :-)
There.

As compared to the male approach, in that we sometimes DO know what we want, and there is no doubt it is wrong, but we don't care.................woof

Watching these shenanigans these last two nights is like seeing someone trying to spin a kid's top backwards.

Good Morning
 

Kirby: Julio upping the ante I see.

Cynthia: Kissing cousins ?
 

Yeah Steve, old gambler is sure he can get his hands on that mill if milf gets it. I hopeo Ramon and others see through him in time.

Jorge is all in, so to speak, but now Ms. Bean seems to not want what she has been drooling about since they were twelve. He needs to get her drunk and do the deed to help her make up her mind. Who's she gonna tell if he takes the battery out of her tablet? :-)
 

Excellent recap. Your screen shots were totally amazing Cynthia. Your shot of angelic Diego was perfection.

“But Diego will have none of it and says to her that he has said a thousand times he does not want to leave. Then he asks to be left alone”. His words were not churlish or childish but the pure sentiment of a child who wants his world, his life and his parents intact.

I agree with Kirby that "(Don’t blame him there, who wants to live this this horror show)" was spot on! Witchy woman indeed.

In spite of spewing bitter bile, Horrible was right when she told Mags, “It doesn’t matter. His ex will always be part of his life.” When children are involved, that bond is for life.

"Then, a sudden pain strikes her head and she has to sit down". Foreshadowing of doom to come.

Steve, "kissing cousins" would seem to sum it up. I'm still thinking the adopted child is Andrea. It would seem obvious that it's Jorge but I'm going for the curve ball here. Kirby, Andrea knows it's wrong, but it doesn't stop the yearning. Reality really ramped that up for her. She got what she wanted but can't handle it.

Julio thinks he can bend everything and everyone to his will. Juana will be more formidable than he thinks.

"Porfirio lets her know he knows how she feels when the person you love doesn’t know you are alive. She asks why he hasn’t told her about who he is interested in, is she married or what? No, Porfi says. “She is in love with someone else.” Marg says, “That really hurts, doesn’t it.” Porfi says, “Very much.” Geez, I think Marg actually does seem to be clueless! I hope her lawyering skills are much better!

Well, the truth is out there. And now on film.

Benito was strutting like Travolta. And was even more adorable.

Kirby, did you take that shot recently? I could not see trees down and if there was damage to the homes, I couldn't see it. If you took it after Irma, it's good to know that as cruel as nature is, it always finds a way to heal.

Cynthia, this was great. Thank you!

Diana
 

Diana, no that was before Irma. I had taken some post Irma and could not really see much. So in the comparisons, I decided I liked that shot of a blue sky and water, so I just flung it up here.
 

Kirby, I think we could all use blue sky and water.

Thank you.

I'm hoping all the birds and wildlife are reappearing and that "your" squirrels are settling back into their routine.

Diana
 

Thank you, Cynthia. Those screenshots are great.

The conversation between Margarita and Porfirio was amusing. Didn't he tell her a few days ago that he always wanted to be more than a friend to her? The only explanation of her cluelessness is that she has so many concerns in her life at this moment, she is so distracted, that she cannot add two and two together with Porfirio.

The scene of watching the video was touching. Especially Fabiola's reactions. How she almost had a shock when she first saw her parents. Then the look of sadness and nostalgia when they were talking about their princesas. Then the look of agreement and admiration when they ruled out the grandma. And then the look of emotion and affection when they decided on Juana.
 

Cynthia, what a wonderful recap and the screen shots are spectacular and add so much...thank you!

So maybe HorHellia will have a helluva tumor and her personality will change? I was SO happy Andrea ran her off...it's about time someone did that.

Diana, "In spite of spewing bitter bile, Horrible was right when she told Mags, “It doesn’t matter..." your interpretations never cease to amaze me...what a great writer you are!

Kirby, "old gambler is sure he can get his hands on that mill if milf gets it. I hopeo Ramon and others see through him in time" I too hope, Ramon or Don Pedro, oust Julio. He is a conniving, heartless, egotistical turd...and Virginia is so stupid to believe that he is sincere.

Benito cracks me up with his wardrobe...I still laugh when I think of him in the teddy bear pajamas, but last night's Travolta outfit and moves were hilarious.

Lucio, "The scene of watching the video was touching. Especially Fabiola's reactions. " ITA Esmeralda does such an exquisite job in portraying emotions!

 

Thank you Cynthia!!!!

The video also clears up another mystery, what were Ricardo's intentions. The parents mention that they will change the policy to the girls when they are of age. In Ricardo's mind what does "they are of age" represent? The girls are both adults and they never changed the policy. Possibly just forgot too or didn't see the urgency. Should Juana really get the money and manage or turn it over to the girls? I think she should turn it over. They are adults. I don't think that will happen though.

I guess the scene where we see Fran owing money means that he will find out Fab is getting the insurance money and will try to get back with her. This will probably coincide with Sofia finding Ramon and all hell breaking lose in the Ramon/Fab relationship.

Love that Julio thinks he is just going to get all of this money. How egotistical! And the fact that he doesn't mind stealing from his nieces!!
 

Hello to the patio!!

Cynthia, I always love your recaps. Thank you for this excellent retelling.

Yeah, kissing cousins. You grow up together ,and then suddenly you're teen and he's a teen and tall, blonde, and blueeyed. You do not like his girl friends. He does not like your boyfriends. Cruel crushes. I do not think that ANdrea and JOrge are actually related...either one of them is adopted or some kind of cheating happened in one of the marriages. Will there be DNA tests in the future for some reason?

I am still hopeoing that Juana reforms Julio because right now he is not a nice guy. However, the love of a good woman could change that.

Kirby, I always get a giggle out of your attempts to give us the male perspective in your own subtle way. Heh

 

SUBTLE ? ? ? Yeah, like hand grenades are subtle, Thanks.
I'm the one who is laughing now.

Be careful, sometimes there is a grain of truth hidden in there somewhere.
I still do not believe the only differences we have is plumbing. Thankfully.


Diana
The birds are back as though nothing has happened. (birdbrains)
The squirrels, on the other hand, are still holding me personally responsible for the havoc I wreaked, and still view me with a jaundiced eye, peanuts and all. Fat little Rats.
 

The best part of coming to the patio is getting a few smiles and laughs in your day.

P.s. Kirby..Aren't you proud that I have been mostly staying out of detention hall despite the fact that OUtlander season three has begun. #tryingtobehave

 

Carvivlie, "I guess the scene where we see Fran owing money means that he will find out Fab is getting the insurance money and will try to get back with her." My thoughts exactly! He's gonna go for it like a leach.

If Juana does get the money, I don't think she just hand it over to the girls. She'll figure out a way to handle it for them...I hope!

Susy, I can relate with your view of kissing cousins; it does happen, but it's still icky. And I don't think they are related either...somehow or another...

Kirby, thank you for that beautiful masterpiece...everything looks so serene...if only our lives could be as such on a daily basis...but Mother Nature has a mind of her own. I'm sure the fat little rats will come around...poor babies they're probably still traumatized; shall we say they have PTSD? Do they need meds? naahhh, just more of that wonderful TLC and treats you give them. ...and I'm glad you have your SUBTLE ways, it keeps me laughing :-)
 

Kirby and Susanlynn, my eyes were popping out of my head when I read "subtle". Let's just say when I think of you Kirby, "subtle" is not a word that comes immediately to mind :)Too, too funny.

Glad the birds are back and don't seem to have fared too badly. And hey, the squirrels have to blame someone! Hopefully, a few good meals will help them forget their experience.

RgvChick, I think Juana will be a great trustee for the girls. I think (hope) they won't ask her for it and that there is no pouting and wheedling. This is where Julio is going to try and slither in, under the guise of offering his expertise as "tio" and "friend".

Diana


 

Cynthia Awesome recap, and the screenshots stependus.

My favorite scene yesterday was Diegito telling miss Roxy that "for the thousandth time NOOOOO" he is adorable and she is stupid. She did however set Virginia straight and allowed the tape to be "found", so Kudos for that Rox.

Benito and Luisa are the icing on the cake for me, they are such a fun couple, I hope Fredesvina is not going to be a problem for them.

I feel bad for Porfirio but he should move on, if there is anything going to happen with Maggie, he has to make her jealous first. She has to see what she has lost in order to appreciate him.
 

Thanks Cynthia. What a wily wild episode.I'm Glad They finally found tape was found, and not by the horror
From hell. Why does he need a copy? He
Don't need a copy if they're about to
See the original.Unless it's fake.They
Would do that too. I hope not.

That is a million Dollars & it belongs
To jauana for the girls, how does Tony
And Julio plan on gettin their grubby
Hands on it? One is ricado's brother &
One is caty's brother. They are some sorry excuses for uncle's. They want to take from their brother and sisters
Children. What a loving family they are. But they don't have nothing on granny from middle earth hell. I can
See her fighting Froto for the ring.

I'm not inwith that cousin love thing.
aren't they 1st cousins or 2nd,3rd?
Just not into that. Some folk are into that. I'm hoping they'll make a shock discovery. Like gorge got a different
Daddy.That's better than kissin kin.
They're family is messed up enough it
Don't need incest. A gambling greedy uncle, A just plain greedy uncle,and 2 annoying tias(aunts),a craziass granny grandma. Don't You wish you had a family like that?
But they probably love each other.And
Often families like that do have the
Capacity to love each other. Whatever!

Y'all I am exhausted. Irma was very draining. But by the Grace of God we
Made it through.Now the flooding comes
I hope people can save whatever they can. I'm glad y'all weathered the storm too, patio pals.

Thank you Cynthia.




 

Nina: Antonio is not after the money, he actually is a good guy. He takes the girls side against their evil grandma.
 

Only on OUR patio:

"granny from middle earth hell. I can
See her fighting Froto for the ring."

Thanks, me too.
 

I can't believe Marg doesn't know Porfibis in love with her. Is she taht dense? Did she already forget that he made a pass at her and she told him she just wanted to be friends?
 

NiNa, so glad to read your comments again...I hope all goes well with you and everyone else in Florida. Thoughts and prayers still going out to all.
 

Anon,"Kirby I think we all could use
Blue sky's and water", that's a sweet centiment but there are some people in North Florida that beg the differ. They like water now,but not in they're
Living room at two feet or 4,5 and on.
I no you mean girl.Those blue skys are
Beautiful. Now where were they 5 days
Ago? Over the rest of the country, but
Not california, theirs was red with fire.When I heard about the earthquake
I'm mexico, and Irma was spinning, and
The fire in California "earth,wind and

Nina..so glad to hear that you are okay. Sending out good vibrations that you stay okay)))))

Kirby, my friend from Naples appreciated your assurances.
 

Actually, Juana is already on to Julio. She knew he was up to something even before the Horror contested the signature. She had mentioned to both Luisa and Don Pedro that she felt there was something fishy about Julio' s sudden interest in and "atenciones" with her and promised Pedro not to agree to do anything with the money without first consulting with him. Julio has definitely underestimated her intelligence and overestimated his power of persuasion.
 

SusanLynn the only things that affect the whole state in Flor-I-Duh are Hurricanes and politicians, with similar results.
 

Susanlynn: I KNEW that I noticed Braids from "La Piloto"!


 

Thanks Ancestry.com.. er...Cynthia. And we all suspect that there is a non-relative or adoption lurking somewhere too.
 

(Somehow this comment disappeared. I had posted one and deleted that one because I had not finished a sentence correctly. I redid it and somehow that disappeared. So here is my 2nd try.)

Thanks everyone for your comments. One thing about cousin relationships that I looked up:

1. There are 26 states in the U.S.A. where first cousin marriage is legal.

2. First cousin marriage in Canada, Mexico, and all European countries is legal.

To us, it does sound very weird because it seems to taboo. But the truth is (and not that I'm advocating cousin marriages) they are a lot more common than we think.

3. Franklin D. Rooselvelt was married to his cousin, Eleanor. (I think they may have been either 2nd cousins or cousins once removed.)

There really are very few problems with first cousins marrying and having children, unless there is a disease that runs in the family such as Tay Sachs disease.

One thing that Jorge said was "We are not the first set of cousins to fall in love and we will not be the last." Apparently even the character does not find the relationship to be taboo.

I knew someone a long time ago who fell in love with her first cousin and married him. Their babies were just fine. They had not grown up together and when they met had an instant attraction. There was no law that forbade the marriage.
 

I always forget what you call the children of your cousin. Are they second cousins or first cousins once removed?

I have had students who married their cousins. In some cultures, it is or maybe was pretty common.


 

European royalty often married their cousins.
 

Children of your cousins are cousins once removed.
