Enamorándome de Ramón, #112, 1/8/2018: The Fallen Gambler and the UnSon Hero
Labels: ramon
Alfredo, your wish came true! Julio's skeleton's all came bursting out!!
I cannot express how little I care about Ada ,Ben, Lu, and Fin. Do.Not.Care.
Well , it has officially hit the fan for Fichito. (I am writing that one down.)Boohoo...Ooze crying to his tia to get him out of the mess that be got himself into , and Fichito crying to Juana. When drunken Fichito was blubbering and pawing Juana in the back seat, I was hoping that Ramoom was saying, "Don't make me stop this car !!"
As far as Julio, they are not going to let him off by pretending it was the alcohol are they? I mean, when a DUI perp kills someone, they are actually still considered guilty even when they are bombed out of their mind. Right?
So pissed off Mr. No No Noe, may have a bit of a problem, as Julio doesn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. He can sue all he wants and might get a watch and a car covered in whiskey dents and a few poker chips in the console. If Julio had any savings or investments they are loooong gone. I really like the part about throwing Julio out and backing over him, but RaMoon is just too nice.
As the show ended, Andrea and Jorge have not heard the bad news yet. It seems to travel at twice the speed of light in this group, so they probably know by now. :-)
When the shock of learning about his heritage subsides, Jorge may count his blessings.
I hopeo to hell they let us see the conversation between Juana and Dr. Parrot when she asks him if she should go ahead and marry Julio. The feathers are gonna fly ! He will bust out of that cage, drag her outside by a pigtail and pecker some sense into her skull.
When will they find out that in addition to gambling away her money, Julio saved a small portion of it to pay someone to poison her land? He is unforgivable. Oh shoot, I just noticed, Whortensia is not in the tell all loop and knows nothing yet. That should be fun too. Will she have a Mother / Son chat? Will she hire someone to kill him? Or herself? Yowzers.
Susy, seems like Oozie is most definitely his father's son...nut...tree!
Kirby, my goodness if they use that "alcohol" excuse...that will be just CRAY CRAY! Wouldn't this be the first time any of them saw Julio plastered? Surely they won't think that all those withdrawals were made while he was drunk?! and how would alcohol keep him from telling Jorge the truth when Jorge and Andrea were found out...
In regards to paying Noe or returning at least a portion of the money he stole from Andrea, he could sell his home and go live with Horhellia. That was the same building Roxana lived in and I remember Antonio telling her to sell her apartment to pay her bail.
More tomorrow...
Andrea seems broke but her sister Fabiola has some $ left even though Francisco has swindled a goof portion of it. Perhaps when the police catch him before he flies the copy Marg can petition the court that any ill gotten gains go back to Fabiola and she can shore what left with Andrea.
I want the anvil to fall hard on Julio not just for the theft, and the shabby way he has treated everyone but the mastermind of poisoning the land of Fab's farm. He needs to make restitution (how, only God knows); or better yet he lands in jail - he could share a cell wth Ozzie.
And Sophia needs her wings clipped. I think we can just let Hortensia go crazy.
I agree with you that at times, Ramón sounded as credulous as his mama, trying to rationalize Julio and Virginia failure to tell Jorge he's adopted. And couldn't help putting myself in Jorge's place and experiencing the free fall that would come if you suddenly found out you weren't at all who you thought you were. Only a name for your birth mother, not even that for your father. It would be so overwhelming and disorienting. And the way everybody jumped in to say "So what, you're a great guy, we love you." was absolutely useless. I wish they had just shut up for a while and let the poor guy process the information. (Your "Don't worry be happy" title was right on)
Well, this pot is definitely coming to a boil now. Fun to see the, er, "cumin" hit the fan. Thanks for a rollicking recap and great screen caps RGV Chick. You and the Ghostwriter are a great team!
Your wry, savvy title was perfectly on point.
So many sensational lines including: “(Dr. Parrot must be on the farm spreading his wings…or has been sent out to look for Julio, we can't trust Juana with a drone, can we?)”, "(Is that one pigtail curling around like an elephant's trunk?)" and "the man tells him he needs to know how to be a LOSER! (We think he has it down pat, yes?).
While I savored your humor it was your beautifully crafted, serious comments that touched my heart: “As she gently rests her hand on his head, she tells him,” You came into this world like a little angel, and you left in the same way. May God have him in his holy glory”. Teary eyed again this morning.
"When he asks how Betito died, Mother Anselma replies that he left at dawn in a last breath like the angel he always was; he is now resting at our Father’s side. Julio cries over his son’s body". Beautiful.
And while Julio's meteoric crash to earth was expected, it was fast, furious and fiery. And when all is done, it is not the stolen money that is the worst violation, it is the loss of one son who was not acknowledged and the pain of another son whose identity was buried.
I have no doubt that the Madre and her sisters loved, cherished and took great care of Betito. I am certain he is in heaven now, reunited with his mother.
And while I think people who are kind always have the initial instinct to comfort and support, Jorge needed time to absorb and process, just as mi amiga Judy noted.
Julio's list of transgressions is long (actually I even forgot about him poisoning Andrea's land - thanks for reminding us Kirby). I don't know that he can atone, but I hope he spends the rest of his life trying.
Your screen shots, every word was beautiful RgvChick. Thank you...
Diana
Not shocked Benito passed away though since Julio didn't give an EXPLETIVE about him.
Julio also cleaned out accounts fast & the Body Language of Fabiola was obvious.
Diana: Juana is getting on my nerves! She still wants to forgive the creep ? SMH.
Judy: What's the angle of Sofia's Daddy in all of this backstabbing & scheming ?
Good Morning Rocking patio. It is surely satisfying to see things moving past endless breakups--makeups with Fabi and RaMoon.
It will be interesting to see how Julio reacts when he wakes up: 1. Hungover, 2. Sober, 3. Broke, 4. Hated by all humanity. I just hopeo the family gets together and reqalizes, that as Julio lost Betito, and Jorge was never actually his, that he should be with his only living Son. Prison.
It was cute that Cyst is checking into Motel 6 as he can't even go home. I am really looking forward to the trainwreck which will surely be his capture. Note to RaMoon: Let the popo do this. You turned off Julio's lights, but the shape he was in, Diego and a friend could have done the same.
Julio's main enemy was pride. He could always said 'I'm a scumbag gambler Andrea, please don't trust me with your money. Keep it somewhere safe, away from me". But no, he just had to be greedy and lie like a good ole chap.
It looks as though SAt. Anthony has stopped talking to Juana. Even he cannot stand her wishy-washiness. Dr. parrot must have finally flown the coop. Start bird.
Fabu finally used her tech skills and knows the truth. Besides Julio making the money disappear, poisoning the soil is going to have an impact on that land for a long time. They cannot farm it , and they cannot sell it. Nice , long-term evil, Julio. I have said it before , and I will say it again...dumb is dangerous and some people are their own worst enemies.
He cares not one flip about Andrea, his sons, his wife, and ultimately, himself. Thus he would not even think about warning Andrea about himself, as the consequences of his gambling away her money are not even on his radar. Like the original Terminator movie, except with a different objective.
I just do not want to see a sliver of forgiveness from anyone.
Steve: Where on the planet did you get that Juana wants to forgive Julio?
Julio is going to wake up to a very unpleasant reality. The family is going to take turns kicking him. Like Kirby said, people, get in line, no pushing.
Even if Jorge needs time to process, the kind words and expression of love that he received from everybody are helpful. When he is ready, it will be something that will help him restore the balance.
Great comments to start the day! As I read, I envisioned Julio on a big pinwheel with us in line ready to throw eggs, rotten tomatoes, whatever...
CountxAlacran, The TV Listings show that "Cronicas: Historias Que Hacen Historia" will be airing after Ramon finishes, so it seems no TN will replace it...maybe in the future???
Anon 2:10, I'm hoping that Julio is forced to sell his apartment and everything else he owns so he can pay Andrea at least some of the money he stole from her.
Diana, "And while Julio's meteoric crash to earth was expected, it was fast, furious and fiery. And when all is done, it is not the stolen money that is the worst violation, it is the loss of one son who was not acknowledged and the pain of another son whose identity was buried." So masterfully stated and so true! Julio can be made to replace (some of) the money, but there is no way he can redeem himself for denying a son and denying another child's identity.
Judy, "And the way everybody jumped in to say "So what, you're a great guy, we love you." was absolutely useless." I am with you on that, yet we have Lucio who commented, "Even if Jorge needs time to process, the kind words and expression of love that he received from everybody are helpful." This is also true as it shows that there are so many people who love him and are there to support him, but I still think they should have been a little more understanding of the pain and anguish Jorge was feeling about not knowing his parents or heritage. Maybe if Andrea or someone would have told him that they would help him search for his ancestors/family (later), it would have seemed tht they were more supportive intha aspect. I was also stunned at the way Juana just blurted it out to Fabi in that phone call..it just seemed so cold and matter-of-factly.
Kirby, "Note to RaMoon: Let the popo do this (capture the Cyst). You turned off Julio's lights, but the shape he was in, Diego and a friend could have done the same" You're so right! I kept replaying that scene and they never actually showed Ramoon hitting him...maybe he just pushed him and Julio hit his head! AND " SusanLynn has said many times Julio is the ultimate Narcissist, and that is so true. Julio ONLY cares about his gambling habit, and everything else is secondary to satisfying that pursuit." DITTO!
Susy, I was glad to see Fabi use her tech skills too...and Holy Moly she didn't need Antonio or Pedro to look over the account and figure out the ZERO balance!
It was fun seeing Julio taken down. If Betito has been unconscious his whole life why wasn't he hooked up to a feeding tube and a waste bag? I remember when Julio and his wife went to visit him and he wasn't hooked up to anything then either.
Marg could have a successful practice just taking on her family's cases. If there was an award for most needed character she would win hands down.
A lot of characters, even the bad guys did self-destructive things but they had the luck to repent of them and learned to move on. The best example would be Arturo Peniche's character in A Que No Me Dejas. In the first half he was an absolute scumbag but in the second half he becomes a good guy through trial and error.
The second was Osvaldo Bonavides character in LQVR where he morphs from a scummy gigolo to our protagonist.
Like at the start of every episode Julio will still be gambling happily along and Cyst would be counting the money he is one signature away from cheating Fabi out of, then all hell breaks loose and they start loosing body parts.
It would be like: "Ha! They have cut off almost every body part on old Cyst, tonight almost has to be the...." :-)
"I am still alive and still warm , and we have all survived". You have - survivors all. God bless.
Diana
Alfredo, I wasn’t that shocked that Marg refused to defend Oozie since his actions led to Antonio’s arrest and affected Fabi financially too. Maybe if Oozie hadn’t run and had taken responsibility for his mistakes, she would have been more apt to defend him.
Susy, I’ve never known anyone with serious addictions (thank God!). With the little time that I have been on Caray and read your communications, I can undoubtedly see that you are a strong, yet kind and thoughtful person. I’m glad that you, and Diana as well many others, have overcome such life-changing, traumatic experiences,
This recap is nail biting my funny. And I got some ideas for Alt. titles for This Episode:
1. Lost much?
2. Daddy who?
3. Diarrhea has flooded the river bed.
4. See, what ha happin....
5. The bad DNA skipped you, REJOICE!!
Jauana need to go Rambo on His butt &
Cut off those pigtails and tell him What she really thinks. But she's so nice she wont.
Ozzys last stand...on one leg.Anvils is Really life changing.Maybe.He'll be an Arrogant jackass in prison too.
With all of that shouting last night
Horhellian didn't poke her nosey butt out To see what was the hollering was all about.
They must have something good planned
For fransticko.
Ok thank you RgvChick and the Ghost.
Amen Sister. Send that whole clan packing. Well maybe keep Ada's ...um...eyes and lips. Yeah she has the prettiest eyes and lips. Nice skin too.
And in the place of that junior high silliness give me more snake bites, amputations, guns, Anvils anvils, raining anvils, anvils for everybody.
Fly Parrot, fly. It's raining iron and steel.
Occasionally I will be typing madly along here in Blogger and I must mistakenly touch some secret key by mistake and Poof! A whole paragraph is gone, and the comment box is totally empty. And no frantic, 'edit' 'undo'.etc....etc will bring it back.
I have tried to discover it by typing in gibberish which I would gladly lose and then hitting random keys or combinations and it will not recur.
Go through stuff, hit publish and the whole dang thing goes to La la land.
Don't it make you want pull jaja by
Them dang pigtails?
Up that one brain cell she had. But who's gonna fire up daddy's braincell?
Poor baby!
I did not see Julio lose it in the Casino.
I did see Osvaldo lose it when Maggie told him she would not defend him. She should be the main character of this TN. She is the only one with her head on straight.
La Famalia P. Luchi
Question: Was Juana wearing the engagement ring? I didn't see it this episode. Julio has lost his facade and she now sees him for the jerk he really is.
Enjoyed reading everyone's comments too.
I'm watching today's episode now and boy, Horrortensia sure is an enabler. And she calls Julio, "Mijito", like he is a little boy.
Susy I do not know how you do it all on a 7 inch tablet. I use a big full size Dell OptiPlex desktop and a fairly large monitor. I have a couple Samsung 8 or 9 inch tablets, and I can not seem to hold them and type at the same time without the holding hand creeping onto the screen and ruining my masterpiece.
My big old clunky hands are just not suited to tablets and phones. I have also noticed, if your hands get calloused and dry from washing or chemicals, lots of times they will not work the touch screen very well.
Casn't wait to read the recap tonight.
