Mi Marido Tiene Familia #94, 1/2/2018: Frisky Business

[Beginning with a big portion of the previous ending, courtesy of Jarifa: Marisol is arguing with Ignacio and wonders if he really wants to start a war with the mother of his child who he cheated on. If he wants a war, she will win it for Frida’s sake. 

In the bakery, Eugenio is showing Robert Sr. and Grace his famous “pan de frijol” and Julieta’s “pan imán” that she invented when she proposed to Robert. Robert tastes the bread, declares it delicious and feeds Grace a piece of it as they join hands. Eugenio asks how long they have been married. Grace says many, many years. Robert Sr. adds for many lives. They want to spend all the lives they have left together. Robert Sr. kisses Grace’s hand. Eugenio remarks that they always seem to have just fallen in love. How is that? Robert Sr. explains it is because love is something that you create day by day. He surprises his adored wife whenever he can. Grace just smiles. She mentions the little gifts, the games, the smiles, the changes the kisses. Robert ends up mentioning and demonstrating the little pinch sometimes on the derrière. Grace tells Robert Sr.to behave but not too much as Robert Sr. kisses Grace’s arm. Eugenio is left with an eyeful and many thoughts.

Blanca and Julieta talk in the hallway. It seems that the Cooper’s visit is affecting Blanca; she admits that she feels shaken by it and is also angry. Blanca feels displaced because Robert is so much more like his adoptive parents, the Cooper’s; and she and Eugenio live a life of routines.]


At Julieta’s apartment, Robert cooks while Catalina comments that Robert’s adoptive parents are worldly; Robert would probably have been an excellent baker. When Robert asks her to be careful with what she says, Catalina responds that people don’t like to be told the truth; it’s not her fault she has the gift of being sincere. When she continues that Blanca is jealous and somewhat envious since she feels less when compared to Robert’s adoptive parents, Robert remains pensive.

At the Córsega’s, Blanca cooks as she tells Julieta that she honestly doesn’t know what to do. When Julieta asks her to explain what it is that bothers her, Blanca responds that she needs to accept that Robert’s adoptive parents are different and not as old-fashioned as Eugenio and her. Grace is very modern, open, and liberal. Blanca asks Julieta what she could do not to feel that way. Julieta points out that Blanca is already doing things to change---she learned to drive; she’s learning to speak English…she needs to do things a little at a time. Blanca agrees that she is trying to improve herself, but Grace has shown her that she has to make a thousand times more the effort. What’s worse is that Grace seems so loved and desired…Julieta can’t imagine how long it’s been since Eugenio gave her a kiss like that. As Julieta checks the meat that is cooking, Blanca remains thoughtful.

At Julieta’s apartment, Eugenio, Mr. Cooper, and Dave sit at the table as Dave asks Mr. Cooper if he taught Robert how to cook. Mr. Cooper affirms that he did and adds that since a child Robert had that urge to cook…something that he surely inherited from Eugenio. When Robert suggests that his father tell them about how he made his first pie, both Eugenio and Mr. Cooper start their stories, but when the try to talk over each other, Dave interrupts and tells them it’s fun having two grandfathers. Mr. Cooper comments that they haven’t even started playing yet, so Dave suggests they play and goes to get on top of Eugenio, but Eugenio grimaces in pain when his shoulder hurts. After Mr. Cooper stops Dave and tells him they should play a game that Eugenio can play, Eugenio looks disconcerted.


At Catalina’s house, Dalia rolls dough as Hugo sexily approaches her from behind and starts kissing her. Diana wants to go to their room, but Hugo thinks the kitchen is much more exciting; so he lifts her onto the counter. As they continue, Hugo lifts her with his flour-covered arms and lowers her down to the floor.

At the park, Dani wonders if Gabriel isn’t afraid to get married. Gabriel denies being fearful, fearful is the long-legged spider. When Dani wonders what he means, Gabriel mimics a spider with his hand and crawls up Dani’s leg and onto her hair as he messes it up. Dani laughs and tells him that she is not going to talk to a long-legged spider…spiders and bears don’t get along. The “spider” starts tickling Dani, so Dani shrieks and runs off to the slide and Gabriel runs after her…laughing all the way! After they each slide down, they hug and Gabriel twirls her around as they laugh.

At the Córsega’s, Blanca serves Eugenio something she made especially for him. As Blanca turns and reaches for a glass, Eugenio takes a good look at her bum. She serves him a drink, then goes for some tortillas, so Eugenio takes another good look as he thinks about Mr. Cooper saying that whenever he has a chance, he likes to surprise his adored wife with a pinch to her derriére. Eugenio smiles, but as Blanca bends over, Eugenio gets a mischievous look and sneaks over to Blanca. He extends his hand to pinch…hesitates…then finally pinches her! Blanca yells out as she turns and takes a swing at Eugenio hitting his shoulder. Blanca is SO sorry she hit him as Eugenio holds his hurting shoulder, but wonders what got into him to make him pinch her there. Eugenio thinks she is now blaming him for trying to put a little spark into their lives. When Blanca asks where he got the idea about the “spark,” Eugenio admits it was from Robert Sr. Eugenio wants them to be more like the Coopers…more loving, more fun… Blanca smiles and tells him that they have not been like that for a long time. Eugenio responds that does not mean he doesn’t love her. Blanca blushes as she tells Eugenio that he has never liked to talk about those things. As she grins, Blanca remarks that she is embarrassed to talk about those things. Eugenio knows what Blanca means, but wonders what they can do to show the love they have for each other. Blanca smiles and coos as she caresses Eugenio’s face.

At Catalina’s house, Catalina walks in on Hugo and Diana are at the height of their tryst in the kitchen. Catalina shrieks and can’t believe they have dared to do such a thing!


As Catalina walks away yelling, “How dare you!!” and crying, Bruno arrives wondering what’s going on since he could hear her screams outside. Catalina shrieks that she found Hugito and Dianuca doing dirty deeds in the kitchen! She wonders at what moment she ill-taught Hugo. When Bruno reminds her that Hugo and Diana are a couple, Catalina gets annoyed because he is insinuating she is in the wrong. As she leaves, Bruno grins and goes to tell the “children” they can come out now. Hugo and Diana slowly stand up looking like this…


Bruno mocks that they were caught making “cookies;” and Hugo responds, “It’s not what it looks like.”

In Dave’s bedroom, Robert watches as Dave finishes a drawing. Once finished, Robert tells Dave that they now need to go give it to his mother. When Robert comments that they are now the men of the house, Dave wonders what it feels like to have two fathers. Robert replies that it feels strange; so Dave then wonders who his favorite dad is, but Robert responds that he doesn’t have a favorite one; he loves them both the same. When Dave remarks that the two fathers are very different, Robert concurs, but adds that it is the differences that make them special. Dave then wants to share a secret with Robert; after he tells Robert that he is his favorite father, Dave smiles and hugs Robert.

Blanca enters the bathroom as Grace is shaving her legs. Blanca is surprised and quickly apologizes, but Grace tells her it’s fine; she can come in….they are both women and what one has the other one has, too. Blanca then meekly asks what she and Eugenio could do to be more loving. When Grace replies that she has some ideas to ignite that spark of love, Blanca listens attentively. When Grace asks if she is sure she wants to change, Blanca thinks back to Eugenio pinching her, trying to exercise with Grace and Julieta, massaging Eugenio’s shoulder, and Imelda telling them that they hardly ever hug or caress each other.

In Julieta’s apartment, Julieta opens a gift box as Dave and Robert watch. As she takes out the blue strips of tissue paper, Dave tells her that those are the waves; and if she looks to the floor of the ocean, she will find an invitation. She takes out the invitation and admires Dave’s work, but Robert tells her to open it. Once she opens it, she sees the words “Honeymoon” and guesses that the three of them are going on a trip. Robert confirms that he owes her a honeymoon; so they are going on their honeymoon…and Dave will see the ocean! Julieta is happy that they are going on their first family trip---with her husband and her son.

In Imelda’s room, Imelda reminds Blanca that she told her that they (the Coopers) were going to bring about many topics of discussion…now she and Eugenio are talking about intimacy. Blanca confides that they are talking about the “spark of love” and frowns. Imelda understands, but emphasizes that times have changed; Blanca needs to talk about this with Eugenio since it is causing her so much anxiety. Blanca has already tried, but she wonders how they can talk about something that doesn’t exist. 

At Julieta’s, Robert tells Julieta that as soon as his adoptive parents return, they will go to the beach; he has everything ready so they can have some unforgettable days. When Robert tells Julieta they will be going to Acapulco, Julieta talks to Dave about how they will be going to a beach like the one they drew, but the real one will be so much bigger. She then tells him about things they will eat and what they will do, including that Robert will teach him how to swim. Dave worries that he has no swimming trunks, so Robert and Julieta come up with a solution—they will be him some cool swimwear! Robert then mentions to Julieta that he wants to plan a dinner for his parents, Eugenio and Blanca, but he wants it to be…as he pauses, Julieta finishes the sentence with “romantic.” Robert affirms that is what he meant.

At Catalina’s house, Linda is with Bruno and wonders if he is sure his mother is not going to arrive. Bruno is sure since Catalina left all in a tizzy. Bruno then adds that he is glad she is there. Linda is glad too. When she adds that he is perfect and makes her so happy, Bruno wants to try something—he will pretend to be her patient. She thinks he is kidding, but he is serious…so she can see just how perfect he is. Linda follows along and starts looking at his eyes. She sees that one is a bit lower than the other. They need to raise his eyelid a tad, fix his nose a bit, some Botox on his forehead and he needs to use sun block often because in a few years he will look older than he really is.

At the Córsega’s, Grace wonders if Blanca is okay; she doesn’t look too well. When Grace asks if there is something Blanca would like to share with her, Blanca assures her she doesn’t, but sees that Grace is caring bags and wonders if she needs to wash. Grace replies that the bags are gifts for Julieta—some clothes since Julieta likes fashion. Blanca thinks it’s nice, then comments that it’s too bad Julieta won’t wear them. When Grace wonders why not, Blanca responds that Julieta is very unique (picky)…Blanca bought her some very pretty clothes, but she has never worn them. Grace is fine with that; if Julieta doesn’t like them, she can give them to one of her friends. Blanca is surprised with Grace’s response and wonders if Grace wouldn’t be offended if Julieta didn’t wear the clothes. Grace would think nothing of it; Julieta is free (to do with them what she wants). After Grace gets a business call and she yells that something has to get done immediately, Blanca is again surprised but her authoritative tone. After Grace leaves, Blanca frowns and comments that Grace and Julieta are the same…they are “special.”

At the carpentry shop. Gabriel takes a small wooden rabbit that Dani designed out of a box. Dani explains that it’s ears and legs are removable; and its name is Dabriel…she combined their names (how sweet!). It’s a rabbit because it signifies good luck…and she wants their business to grow very much. Gabriel looks at Dani admiringly and kisses her. When he suggests she make a bear, she reaches in the box and takes out a small bear. Gabriel marvels at the bear; he thinks it’s incredible. Dani then tells her she has an idea for her next design…Gabriel gave her the idea. She shows him her drawing of a long-legged spider. Gabriel is even more excited and comments that his job, then, will be to promote the pieces…the Dabriel designs. Gabriel loves the name and promises that this green-eyed missionary will make sure that those two young ones and the rest of the animal family will reach the entire world. Gabriel is still amazed with Dani’s designs, but then suggests that instead of naming the business Dabriel, they name it Ganiela, but Dani says. “No-o! Dabriel is fine!” Dani likes that the initial will be “D” and her name will have top billing. As they are about to kiss, the Hermonsters arrive because they need to talk to them right away.

At Julieta’s apartment, Julieta tries on the dresses Grace gave her and thinks one of them is perfect for tonight since she and Robert are planning a romantic dinner for Eugenio and Blanca. Grace wants to help since they appreciate that Eugenio and Blanca brought Robert into the world. Just then the doorbell rings, so Dave goes to see who it is. As Julieta tells Grace that it seems Grace has known her for many years since the dresses are totally her style and she loves the material, Blanca walks in needing to talk to her…alone!

At the carpentry shop, the Hermonsters think two months is not enough time to plan a super wedding. Gabriel reminds them that they need to keep in mind that the ones that are getting married are he and Dani. Clarissa insists that he is their only brother…and since she needs to be super honest, it’ll be years before they can plan their own weddings…after which Cassandra slaps her shoulder and tells her that is not true! Gabriel tells them not to fret; they can be good wedding planners. The Hermonsters are dismayed…they prefer to be the bridesmaids. Dani reminds them that she also has two sisters and the fair thing would be that they also be her bridesmaids. Clarissa insists that no one will have better ideas than she and Cassandra, Gabriel interrupts and tells them he appreciates everything they want to do, but it is their wedding and it has to be a joint effort between the two families. Clarissa then asks that they set up a meeting with the Mussi and Córsega families so they can discuss everything topic by topic. (It seems no one is looking forward to that battle!)


At Julieta’s apartment, Blanca reminds Julieta of her advice when they were at the cabin…that she should speak her mind. Well! Blanca is very angry with Julieta; she has given Julieta clothes and Julieta has never worn them. When Julieta reminds Blanca that she gave her a maternity dress, Blanca thinks she could still wear it…and she has also given Julieta other clothes that she hasn’t worn. Julieta thinks Blanca is having a jealous fit. Blanca scoffs, “Jealous, me? No! It’s not as if you’re my girlfriend! No, No ma’am!” Julieta insists Blanca is acting like a like a small child. When Blanca chides her for always having to have an answer for everything, Julieta thinks it’s because it’s the truth. Blanca shouldn’t always be comparing things they do that she doesn’t do…or that she does that the Coopers don’t do. Blanca retorts that what she does notice is that Julieta is, “Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye! Very accommodating with Grace…with the isometrics, concentration and dressation…but how were you with us in the beginning? Have you forgotten already?” Julieta tries to interrupt but Blanca waves her off and tells her not to say anything more. She is going to go write in her notepad before Julieta tells her to do so because Julieta was very good at giving advice. As Blanca walks off, Julieta shakes her head in disbelief, but before leaving, Blanca turns back and tells her the dress isn’t that pretty…it’s too flimsy.

At Catalina’s house, Bruno looks at his marked up face, so Linda wonders if he is upset. When she wonders why he had her do all that, Bruno explains that he wants her to see that he is not perfect; he is just like her. Linda chides him for sounding like Julieta, but Bruno insists it’s only the truth. He wants Linda to do something with her life. When he asks what happened to her idea of being a stylist, he adds that he wants her to see that there is a world out there other than his world. Linda wonders if he is going to break up with her, but he assures her he isn’t. He just wants her to promise that she’ll think about it; so Linda, though annoyed, promises. Bruno then suggests she mark his lips, so she obliges...with her lips.

At the bakery, Eugenio finds Blanca pouting and crying. Blanca explains that she argued with Julieta again…every time they get close, something happens and they end up fighting. She cries that Robert and Julieta prefer the Coopers to them. Eugenio suggests it’s time to confront this, but Blanca doesn’t want to; she already did her reproaching.

Later, entering the hallway, Eugenio and Blanca encounter Robert and Julieta. When Robert asks if they can talk, Eugenio also wanted to see them…he is very offended with their attitude! Robert suggests Eugenio calm down and take a deep breath, but Eugenio gets annoyed and tells him not to tell him to calm down! Julieta thinks they should talk before a molehill becomes a mountain. Eugenio starts his rant, “Ever since the Coopers arrived, they are just wonderful! Everything is laughter and lots of love…just great!” Blanca adds, “We just want you to acknowledge our place.” Robert responds, “Mother, father…I’m sorry you feel that way, but please don’t be jealous.” Blanca and Eugenio insist, “We are not jealous!” Imelda, who has obviously been listening, comes out and tells Eugenio and Blanca that Robert is right…Eugenio and Blanca are acting like little children.

At the park and swinging on the swings, Gabriel asks Dani what she thought about what his sisters said. Dani prefers not to argue anymore. Gabriel agrees that he doesn’t want to have a meeting between the two families; they will never agree. Dani thinks the same, but knows they will never leave them in peace if they don’t do it. Gabriel then wonders what will happen if they end up choking each other during the wedding and ruin everything. Gabriel stops swinging when he gets his idea, “What if we get married in secret, just the two of us?” Dani stops swinging and is stunned.

At the Córsega’s, Imelda stands over Eugenio and Blanca as they sit on the couch. Eugenio doesn’t think they are at an age where Imelda can still scold them. Blanca agrees; they can solve their own problems. Imelda points out that no matter how modern Blanca wants to be, they keep going to reproach Robert and Julieta time and time again as if they were little children. Imelda knows they are jealous of Grace and Robert Sr.; that’s it! When Imelda asks them if they don’t think it’s childish, Eugenio starts to explain what is really happening, but Imelda interrupts and emphasizes that the Coopers are Robert’s adoptive parents; they come from a different culture with different values and way of life. Blanca responds that they are not like that, but Imelda continue that Robert loves them, he returned after 34 years and has shown them that he loves the family unconditionally. Eugenio and Blanca sit like two children who have just been spanked.


Marisol walks into the bakery looking or her father, but Carla tells her he went home. When Carla asks is Xavi will return, Mari confirms that he won’t be coming back. As Mari leaves, she is stopped by Ms. Gonzalez, a reporter who wants to share something with her. When Mari wonders if it has to do with Xavi, the reporter clarifies that it has to do with her marriage and how she came to emotionally involved with Xavi. Mari points out that she has already sent out a message that Xavi had nothing to do with her divorce. Ms. Gonzalez is aware of the announcement Mari made, but she also wants Mari to know that Icknacio is about to see them an exclusive interview about what happened. Mari becomes worried.

At the Córsega’s, Eugenio points out the Juan Pablo gets along very well with Robert Sr.; and Blanca adds that Julieta gets along well with Grace. Imelda retorts. “Of course! What did you expect? Did you want Juan Pablo to be rude to the parents who raised him? And did you want Julieta to no get along with another woman who is exactly like her? Well, older, but the exactly the same. Juan Pablo loves you with all his heart, but he is also ‘Robert’ and Julieta…is Julieta.

Later, Robert and Julieta join the conversation. Robert reminds Blanca that she doesn’t have to compete with anyone. He wants her to be just the way she is…and the same goes for his father; he loves them just the ways they are…he includes Imelda. Julieta adds that not at any moment did she want to replace them, they are wonderful, but the Coopers are also her in-laws. Robert points out that he spent a lot of his life with the Coopers. Blanca thinks they will not be able to recuperate the time they were not without him. Robert assure Blanca that they are in his present time; they have the future left to live. When he pleads with them not to compare or compete, Julieta adds that she hasn’t worn the dress Blanca gave her because she there hasn’t been a special occasion for it, but she will wear it tonight. Robert then tells them that he wants the three of them to dress up for a very special occasion. Imelda is curious as to what kind of special occasion, but Robert just tells them to be ready at a certain hour. Everyone is happy again as they have a group hug.

At the bakery, Ms. Gonzalez explains that she really doesn’t want Xavi’s reputation to be tarnished and that is why she came to look for Mari. Mari thinks Ms. Gonzalez is threatening her, but Ms. Gonzalez assures her she isn’t; she just wants to hear Mari side and convince her boss to publish the truth. Mari then tells Ms. Gonzales that the relationship between Xavi and her is only that of artist and manager. Their objective is Xavi’s success. Mari wants Xavi’s name cleared and not to involve her daughter in all of this. Ms. Gonzales then asks about the real cause for Mari’s divorce, but Mari only sighs deeply.

Blanca takes Julieta a platter of bread and tells her that though they are different, they are part of a family. Julieta thinks they complement each other well. Blanca then feels sorry for their afflictions; she knows she promised to change; but it’s not that easy. Julieta smiles and thinks that they are changing little by little as the days pass; she knows Blanca is making a big effort. Julieta does have some things in common with Grace, but she loves Blanca…she truly loves her.

At Belén’s store. Amalia tastes Hugo’s cookies and thinks they are the most delicious cookies she has ever tasted. Just then, Enzo arrives and tells her he has been calling her, but she doesn’t answer. When Enzo mentions their last encounter, Amalia is very embarrassed…she can’t remember anything; everything is just a blank. When Enzo suggests that they start over as if the night before hadn’t happened, Amalia smiles and agrees.

At Night—

In Julieta’s apartment, Robert, Julieta and all the parents-in-law are together and ready to toast and celebrate. Robert wants to toast that, thanks to all four of his parents and his grandmother’s support, he is here. Julieta adds her thanks and comments that Robert is a combination of the man he his, so she has the best husband of all. Robert wants to toast that thanks to God he has the best family he could ever have. 


They all toast, but Blanca will only have a small drink because she will get tipsy. Julieta suggests Blanca hold her liquor because the best is yet to come. Robert tells Eugenio and Blanca that everyone will stay there except them…they are going elsewhere….a surprise!
At the redecorated, candle-lit bakery, Eugenio and Blanca look at each other, then at all the fine appetizers. After they admire all the floral arrangements, Eugenio helps Blanca to sit down. They comment that Robert, Julieta and the Coopers arranged this for them; and Blanca wonders why. Eugenio finds a message from Robert and reads, “Parents, it is never too late to recover that which has been lost. You are a wonderful couple; and I know that love is still alive within both of you. The only thing you need to do is revive it. I love you with all my heart, Juan Pablo.”

At Julieta’s apartment, Robert brings out their own food as he wonders how his parents are doing. Julieta tells him not to worry; and Imelda thinks that dinner will help Eugenio and Blanca enjoy the rest of their lives together. Robert Sr. thinks he and Grace should go sleep in the hotel that night. Imelda starts to argue, but Robert Sr. reminds her that they are trying to do things differently. Although Imelda complains, she concedes…she understands (finally!).

At the romantic bakery, Eugenio sees a small bell and rings it. A waiter comes out and tells them he will be at their service tonight. After the waiter tells them he will be bringing them their specially-made dinner and leaves, Blanca wonders when their son could have thought of this. Eugenio thinks it’s a grand idea because he promised to make her fall in love with him again. Blanca thinks it won’t be easy to find variety every day, but Eugenio would like to try. Eugenio makes a toast to overcome the monster of routine, so Blanca says, “Okay!” but there is an optional toast she suggests…to learn to enjoy the routine. They agree and toast.


In their bedroom as they pack, Julieta wonders how she and Robert will be when they are old; she thinks she will be ornery. Robert jests and wonders why she would think that; then adds, however it may be, she will always be the love of his life. They then talk about going to the beach and how the three of them will enjoy it. When Robert brings up that it may not be as fun as when she went with her other “friend” to the beach, Julieta thinks he is getting to be more like the Córsegas because he is ruining to good moment. After Julieta brings up Daphne, Robert changes to his provacative tone and wants to take more chances. Julieta likes the idea and gets up to kiss him…and they continue…

At the romantic bakery, Eugenio and Blanca enjoy their food as Blanca wonders if Robert cooked the meal. Eugenio thinks that if he did, Robert must have inherited his cooking skills from Blanca. When Blanca comments that Robert loves them very much, Eugenio wonders that maybe all the years of pain and anguish has kept them from daring to love each other again. Blanca remarks that they went from being a happy couple to being bedroom companions. Eugenio thinks that now that they have their son and their daughters are now getting on with their own lives, they should have a new objective…to do all the things they had wanted to do. When he mentions several things they should do, Blanca thinks it might be too much noise for just a few nuts, she needs to see actions. Eugenio assures her they will start that same night. When Eugenio brings up the topic they have been avoiding, Blanca tells him she would be happy just with hugs, some kisses and a few caresses. Eugenio brings up the bum pinching and they laugh, but Blanca remembers that when they were young and Eugenio held her hand, she felt so safe and in absolute peace. Eugenio promises to make her feel that way again. They then get up to dance; and as they dance, Eugenio asks Blanca to be is girlfriend again…

Comments:
Favorite scene: Huguito and Dianuca caught while they were "cooking!" Looks like they were trying to make pan-fried breasts LOL

Other favorites-

- Eugenio pinching Blanca

- Dani and Gabriel looking at the Dabriel designs and having fun at the park

- Eugenio's and Blanca's first date after so many years

There are few occasions when I agree with Imelda, but reproaching Eugenio and Blanca for being childish was great!

More tomorrow--
 

Rgv Chick, thank you, thank you, thank you! Great episode, great recap.

I totally missed this line from when Catalina walks in on Hugo and Diana 'making cookies' (I never heard it called that before :)
Hugo responds, “It’s not what it looks like.”

Oh, yes it is, Hugo! :-)

And Diana seems to be a great believer in letting her hair down.

I do not want to see Gaby and Dani elope. I want to see Dani in a bridal gown!

And, as you said, More tomorrow-- (actually later today, but I'm falling asleep now)
 

As soon as I saw “Frisky Business” I knew it was you RgvChick. Fantastic!

What a lovely rendition of an excellent episode.

"Blanca smiles and coos as she caresses Eugenio’s face" and "Eugenio and Blanca sit like two children who have just been spanked" were among many favorites.
Hugo responds, “It’s not what it looks like.” Hmmm, I beg to differ. Glad to see them letting loose and having some fun.

It was a night where invitations were offered and olive branches extended. "Dave tells her that those are the waves; and if she looks to the floor of the ocean, she will find an invitation" was so sweet. Grace and Robert offered their friendship to Blanca and Eugenio, Gabi an elopement to Dani, Hugo to Diana to shake and bake, a pinch of spicy salt from Eugenio to Blanca, and finally, a pledge of renewal between Eugenio and Blanca.

"Dabriel" has convinced me Dani's creativity and Gabi's suave selling will result in sweet success.

"Did you want Juan Pablo to be rude to the parents who raised him? And did you want Julieta to no get along with another woman who is exactly like her? Well, older, but the exactly the same. Juan Pablo loves you with all his heart, but he is also ‘Robert’ and Julieta…is Julieta". Surprising, sage words from Imelda!

Andy, I also would love to see Dani in a beautiful wedding dress. Do you think the writers will finally throw us this bone??

The dinner was enchanting. It looked like a golden palace and could not have been more picturesque. I hope that this signifies a new beginning, where Blanca and Eugenio can put their heavy burdens and hearts to rest and recapture the joy in life and with each other.

Wonderful Rgv Chick. Thank you for bringing this to life so vividly for us!

Diana
 

Thank you, RgvChick, for doing justice to this episode. The title was perfect.

Ha! Julieta will be “ornery” when she is old but she is “ ornery” now and that is one of her best qualities. So funny..

Yes, Diana, Imelda surprised us again with thoughtful advice. Two episodes in a row?

Diana, Andy, I, too, hope they put Daniela in a wedding dress and honestly am expecting it since she no longer seems adverse to them. I cannot see them letting them elope. Do they ever let important chatacters elope? Maybe their wedding will be the last episode.

So, Xavi is no longer working in the bakery either. I didn’t like that.

It is great seeing Hugo finally developing as a character.

Grace was smart in asking Blanca if she wanted to change.

Blanca was sooo tedious with the “you like her dress better than my dress routine” with Julieta but it sure illustrated her unrelenting jealousy and feeling of inadequacy.










 

Jarifa, I am upset (and disappointed) we appear to be "losing" Xavi, one of the best characters here.

I remember and miss his quiet, happy grin while working in the bakery.

He has talent, but he lacks drive. I want him back "home" but unless he wants to totally give up his singing career, not sure if it's possible to be a part-time heartthrob.

Diana
 

RVG Chick: I went ROFLOL at Catalina freaking out on Diana & Hugo getting their Orgy on.....
 

Diana, I also still hope to see Xavi back at the bakery with Marisol at one point. I think he would give it all up for Marisol. She needs to get her head straight for that to happen.
 


"Well, it's official. Hell has frozen over ... and I don't mean most of this weather in the U.S. Imelda finally butting in when it was needed and she was completely right in her assessment of B & E's jeallousy. No puede ser".


Doris, that was great...thank you!

Diana (still smiling)
 

Jarifa - Thank yhou for your recap of Monday night's episode!

Rgv Chick - Thank you for the recap of last night's episode! And perfect title for this one.

I actually got to watch this one in what Hubby and I call "real time" (not recorded).

Well, it's official. Hell has frozen over ... and I don't mean most of this weather in the U.S. Imelda finally butting in when it was needed and she was completely right in her assessment of B & E's jealousy. No puede ser that Imelda was once right?!

Coitus interruptus! Um, did anyone besides me think Catalina looked a few seconds longer than necessary at Hugo & Diana making cookies on the floor? Yeah, when they headed toward the floor I was already laughing and cheering. ;-) "Making cookies", indeed. LOL

The jealousy that B & E are feeling about the Coopers is quite natural and very normal, and even better that Imelda put a name to the behavior so they can work on it.

The look on Eugenio's face when The Coopers are so lovey dovey was like, "... this behavior I do not recognize, and at their age. Hmmm.... ponder it I must..." was sort of funny. Bless his heart. He gets points for trying.

B&E's dinner date was so sweet!!!
 

Excellent recap of a busy episode, Rgv Chick, and great photos too. I can't believe that Imelda finally did something good! Getting Blanca and Eugenio not to be so jealous of Grace and Robert Sr. I too loved " 2 children who have just been spanked." Great! And, like everyone else I loved the scene where Catalina walked in on Hugo and Diana. Oops! Wonder if Diana ends up pregnant from this encounter.
 

SpanProf: Good question. It might very happen.... Diana getting PREGGERS following the OrgyFest with Hugo.
 

Well, in joyful tns like this one, quite often they end with the unmarried couples getting married and the married couples getting pregnant(the young-enough ones, anyway)--sometimes those 2 things happening in succession to the same couple.
 

HI, all! Stopping by in a hurry to thank everyone for the kind reviews and commentary!

Woke up this morning to go feed my goats and found two surprises (kids)! Came in to have breakfast, then to go buy feed. Got back and went to check on the babies and there were two more (different mama)!!

My apologies for not spending more time here today.
 

Rgv Chick: Somehow there has to be a parallel to a telenovela in that. :) One of the couples ens up having twins?
 

ends up
 

RgvChick, wow! You have had a busy day.
 

Rgv Chick - Congratulations on all the new kids! I'll bet they are precious.
 

Rgv Chickie, congrats "grandma" (Hon.) !

Any names in mind? Like, maybe, Diana and Hugo? Or Dave and Frida? These last two are also kids
:-)
 

Super late but thanks RGV!

Omg about the kids!!! Wow 4 more mouths to feed.
