Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 14, Friday, February 2, 2018; Renée passes herself off as Anifer’s mother (as a favor)
Now the rest of the story:
Labels: papa
We have had recappers miss doing episodes because of headaches and slumber parties. So don't put yourself through a wringer if you need to be all there for your family. This is, after all, a volunteer effort.
I haven't seen this yet, but I'm sure those folks who have can probably add some of the action in the comments as far as that goes.
The biggest action I remember is that Renee agreed to be Lupe's novia.
I have to say, I haven't softened on our puppy. Barks a lot, under foot at the wrong times, and into everything. Those nose prints on my laptop would send me over the edge. Ya know, I wonder, does Snoopy just walk in unannounced? It looks like it. He certainly played to my rant yesterday about privacy. Anyway, I hope Renee can find a job with medical insurance soon and somehow rid herself of that tarbaby.
Luuuuurve Anifer. She somehow, unbelievably, sees that she is in the driver's seat and is not afraid to use it. No Mommy call, no fresh toy sketches. WOW. Give the munchkin credit. Rather than gimme gimme gimme, she is willing to give something of value to get what she needs. Nice. Love smart kids.
Note to Tono: Rit dye has a product called color remover to reverse what you did with the red and white laundry. Also try Rit 'White Wash', about the same function. It is usually there with the liquid color dyes. It comes in a little box the size of a deck of cards, it is a powder. Did I mention you don't deserve to even buy bathroom tissue for a Goddess like tall, long legged, sultry Veronica? OK
Hoppy Saturday
I think that Renée does not want to hurt Lupe’s feelings but she is just making it worse for both of them by accepting being his novia. I cannot see a happy ending with that decision.
One day, Anifer's Mom will return, or the truth will finally come out, and she and Mauricio will see that it is just them two, they have no one else.
And where's that dam shoebox? What was in it, a pair of 9 West CFMs?
Cynthia: Valentina & Samuel crack me up :)
Jarifa: Renee looks frustrated indeed.
Renee is sweet, but she just let herself be talked into something she really doesn't want. Bad move.
We don't really know if Maria is dead or if Anifer is Mau's biological daughter, both of these were confirmed by the man with the Eldritch tie knots, Fabian. I have a hard time believing he's a bad guy, but even if not, he could be up to something.
Some speculation here: if Mau is not Anifer's biological dad, and Maria is still alive, would they want to separate Anifer and Mau at the TN's conclusion? I don't think so, the writers would be risking life and limb. Hell hath no fury worse than an enraged TN fan.
And, apropos of nothing much in this episode, Flor is a babe with great taste in sleepwear. Neron should marry her ASAP, it would make her happy. And happy wife, happy life.
Did Renee really agree to be novio/as? Talk about being browbeaten into something. Loopy has gotten downright accusatory and antagonistic. Boyfriend material?
I hope Fab ends up being a good guy but he has little confidence in Mau that I think he will do what's best for himself.
And Ana, I'm sorry but Lupe has passed from enamorado to Stalker-Without-Boundaries in this one. He drops in on Renee, not just without calling first, but WITHOUT KNOCKING. Then he opens up her computer (which she shut when he came in) and starts to pull off a tab from the screen that was there to keep her from being seen in her "chat" with Anifer. No more doggie metaphors for Lupe. He has morphed into pushy creep. And this is the time Renee decides to be his novia!!!???? Arrrrggh.
Other developments of note. Neron is conned into signing an agreement that gives him only a pittance of his retirement, rather than the 30% (still measly but better) that Jorge had negotiated for him.
And Mauricio has been gelded by the new owner so that now all of his decisions have to be approved by "the committee". He can't decide anything on his own.
Whoa, did I get an eyeful.. Girl is built like a brick s...omething and is not bashful. So Thanks.
I hope Neuron never sees how she (un)dresses when he is not around.
Renee is going to need one of those front door cameras before long. Walk in without knocking? OK we know he is a Doctor and all, but what if she is doing something where an audience is awkward? I mean Renee is not a criminal or anything, but houses are not built from glass for a number of reasons.
Gelded? I like that one, I haven't heard that in a while. I'd expect it out of Susanlynn, though.
Lupe pulled out all the guilts to get Renee to say yes. I give Renee a week to realize this ain't gonna work. She doesn't even want to kiss him now. Sheesh.
Cynthia, you are beyond dedicated to give us a recap in the midst of a family emergency. Hope that things are resolved.
I do not know what the characters are saying most of the time,but it did look as though Rod the cop was attracted to Pablo. Also, I did notice that Renee seemed to be giving Lupe a reason to smoke...and hope. Not smart. Not kind.
watching Hallmark Valentine movies while doing Saturday chores. life in the fast lane. Very cold here.
rushing between chores.
Judy...do you remember the recappers who used to give vocabulary lists at the end of their recaps?
Who was that?
To work with.Or he does and won't try.
I just don't think nana got time for a
Relationship with Lupe. She's in the midst of trying to get funding for school,and in a kinda off handed way helping mauricio with anifer. And Lupe
Is pushin for a Relationship.Good luck
Renee. Thank you Cynthia.
About Tono's clothes for his interview: It appeared that he was wearing the same pink shirt from the day before. The jacket was straight from Famalia P. L:uche with Derbaz Sr. I laughed along with the interviewer. I have been mystified all my life abut the partners people sometimes choose to produce offspring with. My amazement continues with T&V. Shave and get a haircut. He looks like the people who were on TV around here at Christmas time caught on camera stealing UPS packages by peoples' front doors.
As distasteful as it is on the surface, getting the person (Mauricio) whose leadership bankrupted the company out of the management loop is a smart move.
PS..the salient point is that you KNEW whether you had gelded anyone or not. !
You add smart, savvy clarity to each character's thoughts and actions. Your conversation translations add so much!
Anifer continues to show why she is the spark and sizzle here.
Veronica's second job appears to be cleaning up the disasters Tono is leaving in his wake. He is physically and emotionally exhausting.
Renee who so far has shown good judgement just plummeted by agreeing to be Lupe's girlfriend.
And Neuron? Sigh. I can't blame Jorge though who is clearly bewildered in trying to care for his children. I hope his emotional walls come down.
Enjoyed everyone's comments.
Cynthia, you are a kind, caring, loving daughter. Prayers for your mother and you and your family.
Diana
I hope things work out as best they can. Best wishes for you and your mom.
My strong , handsome dad could not walk for the last two years of his life. He was so depressed because he had had such an active life. It was hard to watch him and feel helpless. My mother lived to be 90 and remained sharp as a tack and feisty despite smoking, never exercising, and not eating very healthy. She was a tiny firecracker . When my dad died, I escaped into Highlander the TV series. When my mother died, I escaped into telenovelas . It is good to have respite from care giving and grief.
Does PBS actually stand for Peanut Butter Sandwich?
Public Broadcasting System
Pretty Boring Stuff
Plainly Beats Sominex
Pledge Break System
Plutocrat Broadcast Service
And a few others that are overly political. But the Number 1 meaning is:
Pink Bunny Slippers <-- my fave!
Full disclosure: I like PBS, Sesame Street mostly.
Lupe = FFWD The guy is a domineering control freak. Run, Renee, run!!!
I finally watched this episode this afternoon, nothing more to add to the fantastic comments here already. Busy weekend. Now going to SuperBowl party so I can eat and suffer thru the game, for the commercials. The Budweiser one makes hubby and me sort of weepy; very touching.
I don't have much to add to the great comments already made.
Tono is a sleeze bucket with, as Kirby said, probably lots of BO...and BS...sorry Ana but that is my opinion of the character and I'm sticking to it.
Loopy is pathetically blind or refuses to see Renee's tense body language and looks. Renee needs to get rid of her Too Nice Syndrome before she gets in too deep with Loopy.
ANifer = adorable smart kid.
Mau has a gold mine in Anifer and knows it, but I hope he thinks of her well being and education before anything else.
Well, I'm sure everyone is watching the Super Bowl...something that just doesn't interest me...Hallmark, here I come!
No Southern teams in the Slumber Bowl. Eagles, Well, OK look at my avatars.
Click on it, then at my page, click the same avatar again and you will see the full size.
Thanks for the eagles, Kirby, much more interesting than the ones on TV...IMO :-)
Tono is trying to be a fun daddy who is all fun and no discipline. He wants to please his kids because he thinks it is less work because he is basically lazy. Don't know why Veronica puts up with this. But she is ever faithful and supportive no matter what.
Little Anifer sure is smart and most likely a genius. She is smarter than all the other characters here, lovable as they might be, but Anifer....she is precious.
Thanks for all your well wishes about my mother. I hated to have to go home (it's a 1000 mile round trip) but I know she is in a good convalescent care home. Today I found out she was able to take 20 steps! I am so glad because I was so afraid she was really going to dig her heels into the ground and not cooperate. It is difficult for her as a widow, 84 years old and has dementia. But maybe it's a good thing she can't remember her fall or her surgery. :)
Kirby, the eagle has landed. What a truly amazing shot!!! Breathtaking.
RgvChick, my days of backflips are over. Come to think of it, they never even began! :) Moonwalking, yup. I'll say one thing for us Jersey girls, we can move.
I congratulate Susanlynn and all the Eagles fans for a job well done. We New Englanders are licking our wounds a bit. But there is always next year. Still trying to figure out why Malcolm Butler was benched...
Diana
I used to do cartwheels and flips , I never mastered the backflip. I actually did not see the end of the game because I went to bed at ten.(We get up at 530 on weekends.) The first thing Hubba said when the alarm went off this morning was "They won.!") I was glad for Hubba because he had a bad day yesterday. He went to check the farmhouse and discovered that a water pipe had broken in the kitchen ceiling. He had a mess to deal with. I have the best husband in the world. Not a good weekend.
Eagles' fans are crazy. Philly is going nuts.
So Nobody, including Butler, knows why he took a seat.
OT Judy, as I understand it, there are left and right arrows to thumb through my avatars, as they are kept by Mother Google.

My first house in the Tundra was on a dead end street at the foot of a little hill. I was the only house on that little section, so they never plowed my short street. So to get out, I had to head out my driveway, and turn UP this fairly steep hill. So even if I backed the car in the night before so that I could 'launch' from the dry garage, it benefited me none, in that when I tried to turn right up the street all motion halted. Just shoot me.
Years ago, I never understood the allure of a warm climate year round. Christmas without snow? Shiver...
But now I yearn for warmth as soon as the temps drop below 40. I was a hearty New Englander in the past, now, simply a reluctant, less tolerable one.
Diana
Susanlynn, I ended up watching the whole game and of course was rooting for the underdog. Pretty thrilling that a backup quarterback, who once thought of quitting, actually got to go home with a Superbowl ring. Still, the refs need to decide for once and for all what's a run, what's a completed pass, and what's a fumble. I was happy with the way the officiating went, but were I a Patriots fan, I'd be a little cranky this morning.
And sorry Diana. I know you love your Pats. And I'm rather fond of cranky old curmudgeon Bill Belicheck (sp?). But you've won a bunch already.Time to let someone else into the winner's circle.
I share your fondness for him Judy. And I give Philly kudos for their fierceness and determination. It paid off.
Diana
Tono seems to be wanting to be his children's friend on permanent vacation, rather than do any actual parenting. A common mistake made by lazy parents.
Has JOrge's wife contacted her children at all ?
At Renée’s Lupe tells her, “I didn’t know you were so reclusive or suspicious when it came to your work. I’m not a gossip, but why did you cover your camera? Who do you not want seeing you?” “No one” says Renée, let’s not make up stories please. I put the yellow sticky there because I just liked how it looked there.” Then he opens it up and finds the screen with Mauricio visible there. “It’s that guy, right? What is going on?”
Good grief, I didn't realize Lupe was this snoopy. But I've got to lay some blame on Renee for not putting her foot down.
Jorge at least tries to get advice for handling his situation. It's just too bad his advisor is the out-of-touch priest. Maybe he should try that Tía Chata that called him on the phone instead.
JudyB, do you think Tia Chata is a code name for Yuriria who is the woman Dulce accused Jorge of having an affair with? BTW Yuriria's character will be played by none other than Marisol del Olmo...I do hope she left the pigtails at the Ramon set! Can't wait to see her!
RGV Chick...yeah, color me cynical but as soon as Jorge refused to tell his daughter who Tia Chata was, I figured it had the be the old flame. Some random relative would not have elicited the same furtiveness. But...just my opinion. Could be wrong. We shall see!
My favorite ad during superbowl was the Eli Manning/Dirty Dancing. OMG! LOL!!! Caught us all off guard. If you did not see it,google it because its all over the inter tubes today.
Doris..I just watched the Dirty Dancing. I love the movie. I wonder how they convinced those guys to do that. Love to see athletes dance !!!
