Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 73, 4/30/2018: And They Will Be Divided, Father Against Son and Son Against Father…


At Mau’s house, María and Mau are necking on the couch, but Mau’s thoughts are with Renée; he remembers his first kisses with her and their last romantic encounter. María senses his coldness and wonders if something is wrong (Yes! He’s not into you!). Mau denies that anything is wrong and falters as he tells her that this would be their first time; so it should be something special…not just something casual on the couch. María thinks making love is special in and of itself…how and where is the least of it, but if he wants to plan something, then they can do that. After he thanks her for understanding, she hugs him, but Mau looks disinclined (and probably thinking “How can I get out of this?”)

We begin with where we left off yesterday as Renée and Noel continue to chat about the past and the “whys” of what happened. Noel did not realize that Anifer was really HIS granddaughter. But at this time, Renée decides it’s better that she leaves, but Noel stops her. He says, “You say you came to see about your house, but I think that you really came to find out what my relationship was with your mother. In truth, we weren’t really lovers. But if you would like to find out more, please come tomorrow at the same time.” Renée responds, “I’m just not sure that I really want to know the details of your relationship.” She gets up to leave.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/26/18 Chapter 38 Jueves: Entitlement



Chapter 38: Entitlement
I'm Christopher Mason. Divorce and death bring out both the best and the worst in people. It is often a litmus test for both virtues and sins. From some it brings sympathy and compassion and for others it only brings out their sense of Entitlement.
  • Marcia saw the dead body of her husband in a pool of blood after his suicide by gunshot. She became nearly hysterical with grief and needed to be held back by Roberto and Ricardo. Roberto got her out of the room, leaving Ricardo there. He knelt on the floor and moved toward the body of the godfather who had been a second father to him where he cried out in grief.

Neron arrives home and announces his arrival. Flor comes out and greets him with a smile and a freshly shaved head. Neron’s jaw hits the floor and he gets teary eyed as Flor asks him if he won’t love her bald. Neron tells her he will love her however and Flor realizes that he’s just sad to see her without hair. She tells him to cry if he needs to and he does after giving her a kiss. Flor smiles and gives him a hug.

At home, Mauricio asks Maria how she ended up in Guatemala in the first place. Maria explains that, when she received death threats in San Crispin, she went to go hide in Guatemala, which was were she was arrested for crimes against the government. She assumed it was the corporations they were fighting against, but the worst part was that drugs were planted on them, so they were imprisoned for a lot longer than expected. Mauricio thinks Fabian could’ve planted the drugs also and Maria explains that she’s trying to find out who exactly reported them, so they can compare notes. Mauricio wonders if Fabian could be hiding the proof of his deeds at home, since he couldn’t find anything in Logatoys, and Maria agrees that her whole arrest and release were weird.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/25/18 Chapter 37: The Case of the Hit and (Didn't) Run

Ay de mi, where is Christopher Mason tonight? Without his literary talent, this episode will have to be in the ever-dull court reporting style.

Part 1 of 2
Rob is handing Fanny's problem with Albert over to Gus. He has to explain to her, why. He's recently uncovered facts that demonstrate Al fooled him into believing the shooting was an accident but he really meant to kill Ramon. He feels guilty about allowing him to go free and can't help her himself because, well, he represented Al. Gus is up to speed and takes over. Fanny doesn't understand any of this.

After last night's convivial phone conversation Ric had with Ale, she returns the call in the morning. Her dimples light up her face, smiling through the admiration Ric lays on her. She promises they'll see each other when she gets back. He says he'll be waiting for her. Ale is happy with the anticipation of a reunion with Ric.

Papá a toda madre Wed. 4/25/18 Capítulo 70: Reality Bites--OR--Kika On a Roll

At Logatoys, Mauricio is having it out with Falcón. Mauricio asks him point blank if it was Fabián who had María put in jail. Falcón laughs him off. The loss of the company is really affecting him. Mauricio informs him: if Fabián had something to do with it, he will pay for it. Falcón says he will tell Fabián and asks him to leave. Mauricio makes a point of telling him that he cannot be threatened like Renée. No matter what Fabián does the cooperative will move on ahead. Still chuckling, Falcón decides if there is anything else Mauricio has to say then he really should write it all down in a notebook. A more serious Falcón then wishes him good luck in proving his accusations. Fabián is not as stupid as he is. Mauricio leaves telling Falcón to tell Fabián what he said.

At Jorge's, Jorge goes to talk to Lili in her bedroom. She has been looking at photos on her phone of her mother and the early Christmas they had with him or rather "Uncle Jorge". She asks who came up with the idea of "Uncle Jorge". Jorge remembers that he talked to her mother telling her that he had to see his children even if it could only be once a year. From that, her mother decided that they should invent "Uncle Jorge" so he could be with them. Lili reminds him that his visits were not enough. Jorge does not disagree but hopes that maybe someday she will understand the guilt he lives with. Jorge admits that when he sees everything that is going on now . . . with this "mistake", he blames himself for not being there. Lili gets upset. Her baby is not a "mistake" and she doesn't want it to be considered as such. Why cannot he try to understand her and walk in her shoes? He is trying . . . Lili does not agree. Even though they live together, he is still very "absent" and not just for her and Baldo but also for Valentina and Samuel.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/22/18 Chapter 35: Deceptive Appearances Now Perceived By The Truly Bereaved

    • While Rob is busy winning Alberto’s freedom for an accidental shooting, Elena and Leticia have a chat about Ricardo.  Ric the Brick is still staunchly rejecting Exlena to her dismay.  She is checking up on him ahead of time to see if he and Alejandra are still “keeping company.”  Leti says not that she can determine.  Both are pretty much keeping to themselves.  In fact she’s getting on well it would seem with Carlos as just recently in a firm meeting she stated he wants her to set up a Women’s Shelter and supportive foundation.
   
      Hope springs eternal for Exlena who is thrilled to hear it, as it means that she’s got a chance at getting him to concede and return to her.  He’s too good a man and father for her and her kids,  aka topnotch husband material, to let go of.  She believes that Ric The Brick is capable of doing anything for her children, even forgiving her and giving her a second chance….eventually.  Leti, though, wonders why, with all the available proverbial finned finned and gilled vertebrates in the sea, why be obsessed with Ric?  Family picture or something more?  “--You only see him as father material.”  Well, if Leti had kids she’d understand, ok?  In fact, Exlena figures not only to get him to love her like before, but even more than what he felt before!  Hmmmmm.

Pablo tells her that he must go get his father in the US first and Anifer encourages him to do so as she looked for her father and it worked out fine. She hugs Mauricio and he tells her that she found the best father and he won the best daughter. Maria offers to help Pablo by reaching out to her contacts in the US, that way, he can look for his father and not have to leave.

We pick up with a very sad Flor talking to Milady and telling her how afraid she is of leaving her alone in the world and her father not being able to care for her. Pablo cuts the conversation short looking for Nerón who is throwing out the garbage. It turns out that Pablo has an idea on how to bring more people into the tire shop and make them more money.

As they leave, all of the other guys are getting together to meet about the cooperative but Nerón tells them that he cannot make it because of business at the tire shop. He finally gives in when it turns out to be promised to be only a short meeting. Mauricio introduces them to María Anifer's mother who is there as an advisor. The issue is capital. How much money can each of them bring into the business? Nerón can't bring anything in right now. He has to save every single penny. Jorge gets that but Nerón should look at this like an investment and not an expense. Nerón understands that but he he simply cannot. He has much more serious things to think about. He doesn't know how Jorge can say that anyway. He doesn't have any money either. Jorge admits that things are going badly for him, too. Jorge asks Toño next. Toño jokes but is in the same predicament and with the divorce it is even worse. They all think that Mauricio should have some disposable income since he sold Logatoys. Mauricio is at a loss for words. Jorge defends him by saying that "Mr. López Garza" does not owe them any explanations. Mauricio comes out with the truth. He did not sell the company. He gave it away because of Anifer. He did it so she would not find out that he was not her dad. It is out. The company is history and he has not a peso. Even though Anifer is not his blood, she might as well be because that is how he loves her. María looks at him and is beaming with happiness.

Or How To Avoid Talking About Important Things Starring Mauricio and Renee

At Mauricio’s, Maria is tired of everyone around her trying to tell her what is the best thing to do, including Mauricio and Fabian. Mauricio admits that he has been pushy but warns her that Fabian is not to be trusted, and Renee agrees, and reminds her that he only wants to hurt Anifer. Either way, Maria thinks both he and Fabian are juniors who are used to everyone giving them want they want and using others. She tells Mauricio that she is going to demand him so any rights he has over Anifer are over.

At Tono’s, Tono cooks dinner as Esperanza observes the children. She notes are mature they are being about the divorce and thinks her son and Veronica did an excellent job. Tono thinks it’s about time he received some credit for something and Esperanza asks him to be quiet as Veronica comes and reminds Tono about Ernesto’s therapy. He’s on it and Veronica hands him some documents about her recent research online and asks him to share it with the doctor. Tono thinks her research supports what they already know about the new doctor’s treatment and Veronica nods, frustrated, before leaving. Veronica then says goodbye to her children and Anifer and leave. Once alone in the living, the kids question Anifer about her recently resuscitated mother and Anifer explains that she was never dead and offers to bring her over so they can meet her.

At the hospital, Jorge berates Lili for her careless actions, which now include bringing a new life into this world, and ruining her life in the process. Kika doesn’t think it’s the best time to talk about this but Jorge reiterates that it’s the best time.

Mauricio tells them they have to be smart and do things well. Toño blames Mauricio for being the one in a rush and changing plans. Nerón is not happy either. Jorge agrees with Mr. López Garza that "Rome was not built in a day". Toño says they all know that already and also points out the deference and formality on Jorge's part towards Mauricio with Jorge addressing Mauricio as "Ud." and not "tú" when they are all supposed to be equals and Mauricio is no longer his boss. Mauricio tells Jorge not to shout at Jorge because nobody is the boss of anyone else. He finally gets Toño to shake Jorge's hand to restore the solidarity of the group. Nerón is antsy and wants to get home to Flor who is not feeling well. He thinks that she must be pregnant again. Toño tells Jorge and Mauricio that he is basically broke and he needs a job like now. He leaves, too. Mauricio makes a comment about how stressed out Toño is.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/10/18 Chapter 26: Carlos Confronts, Ale Stays WishyWashy, Ric Is A Brick

Isabel remains undecided and tells Alejandra to lay aside the paperwork while she reconsiders--for Luis's sake.  (I believe).

Carlos is the early bird who catches his worm of a cousin, Alan, in a host of omissions, not the least of which is that he spent the night of the bachelor party sleeping in the same hotel with the hooker that accused him of murdering her friend.  Why did he OMIT that information???? His personal life, sayz Al, is none of his beeswax.  Carlos mentions that his lawyer now, Leo, will be investigating Alan as a major suspect since Al decided to omit this bit of trivial pursuit.  Al swears one thing has nothin' to do with the other and he's got nothing to hide.  "--I hope not!" "--You are going to have to eat those words, you'll see!"

Papa A Toda Madre #59 4.11.18: Making Plans In All The Wrong Places

Or Giving Up Your Future for Love

Renee tells Mauricio that she’s not sure she wants to continue with the master’s program because she prefers to stay in Mexico with Anifer and Mauricio. Mauricio is shocked and goes to sit by Renee, who tells him not to make a big deal out of it, but he insists that the price for them being together is too high. He would love to see her every day but he can’t allow her to give up on her dream. Renee argues that a master’s program is too time consuming, and he needs to focus on his new company and Anifer, while she takes care of everything else. Mauricio nods but doesn’t think it’s a good enough reason so Renee reminds him of all the obstacles in her way since she started the master’s program. She makes it clear that her plan is to postpone the program, for a bit, but Mauricio begs her not to do this for him. Renee shakes her head and confesses that this is the first time she’s in love and she’s not willing to give him up. Mauricio smiles wide as Renee explains that he love is a lot more than simple butterflies because she loves him, truly loves him, and doesn’t want to give him up. Mauricio asks for a moment, stands up, and cheers loud enough for the whole cul-de-sac to hear. Renee runs to him and they kiss and hug.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/9/18 Chapter 25 Lunes: Priorities



Chapter 25: Priorities

Previously on D.F. Law:
  • Paula talked about how every good lawyer wants to work at Vega & Associates, but Carlos denied that on the grounds of philosophical differences. Paula nonetheless pointed out that it was lawyers from that firm who got him freed, which he agrees with and gives Alejandra credit that she perhaps did not earn. When he kissed Alejandra it was evident that she did not welcome it and wanted him to leave. He finally said he needed to go home and rest to have the energy to start working on his plans and said he would pick Alejandra up in the morning. She declined this offer, saying she needed to get an earlier start. He made a big deal instead of saying he loved her.... more than ever. She went upstairs and Paula turned to Carlos to make sure he understood that he had hurt her daughter badly. She told him he had to respect Alejandra's decision. He didn't understand so she spelled it out that her daughter had a lot of work rebuilding her life after what he had done. He said he had paid for this in many ways. She told him point blank that her priority is her daughter. He asked her to trust him, etc.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 58, 4/9/2018: Dead (Wo)Man Walking…and Talking…and Possibly Stalking… OR Night (Day) of the Living Dead

Alt Title: Chicken Soup for the BUSTED Soul!

At the Carbajal fortress (that can easily be invaded by a tribble), Renée explains to Noel that she grew up in a house that was her mother’s; and when her mother died, she thought it would be hers, but it turned out that the house is not under her name. When Noel tells her he doesn’t understand anything she is saying, he demands to know who the he** her mother is; so Renée blurts out, “Catalina Sanchez!” After Noel stumbles backwards and remains quiet, Renée questions why he remained quiet and if he knew her mother…
                                                                        Could it be?????
(So Renee, realizing this is going sideways fast, wishes she had brought Wookiee with her and makes small talk: So...you ever know Catalina Sanchez?) Noel tells her that she knows where the door is and not to get close. When Renée persists and asks if he knows Don Noel, Noel ( wonders if he should take out his saber but...) responds that if she doesn’t leave, he will call the police; so Renée apologizes and runs out. After she leaves, Noel uncovers his head and looks as if he saw a ghost. (Maybe the Ghost of Bunny Hopping Past? Wait, what the Dickens am I thinking? Or was he thinking, “May the Farce Be with You?”)

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/6/18 Chapter 24: Carlos gets--out of jail, a photo op and a champagne lunch

Part 1 of 2
The Trial of the Century is Underway---or rather a hearing to determine whether Carlos has to remain in prison or get out on personal recognizance until the real trial. Suffice it to say that thanks to Leo and Rob's snooping around the hotel and finding the hotel emergency stairs near the room lacked security cameras; Carlos' casual demeanor upon leaving; his upcoming nuptials; Patricia not seeming frightened or concerned when room service arrived, and Juan's dogged determination to provide the toxicology report, Carlos is one step closer to temporary freedom. The toxicology report showed that Patricia, having taken sleeping pills which, Leo tells the judge, mixed with alcohol, could have caused her to choke on her own vomit. Sonia, the spiked-heeled public prosecutor indicates, indignantly, that there was no evidence of vomit anywhere, to which Leo chides her for not doing her homework because there was no pathology report. (CSI: Miami is shocked.) Leo feels triumphant.

Tono and Veronica go to Ernesto’s doctor. Tono doesn’t want to give his child medicine and suggests they try other methods. After a moment, he relents and agrees to give his child medicine, despite his reservations. The doctor asks them to trust him and then steps outside to answer a call. Once alone with Tono, Veronica begs him to please put their issues aside and focus on their children. Tono promises to make sure Ernesto takes all his pills and Veronica nods. She promises to be very mindful though and make sure he is doing what he promised.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 4/4/18 Capítulo 55: Merry(?) Xmas To All--OR--Toño Can't Handle the Truth--OR--Nobody Knows Her Son Like the Mother Who Raised Him

Xmas Eve continues . . .

Nerón is entertaining Roberto this Xmas Eve. Roberto has come with gifts for everybody. Nerón leaves Flor and Robert alone to go get his gifts. They chit chat about about Nerón telling Robert to get a wife and maybe one with a child. Robert quietly expresses concern for Nerón’s health and asks Flor about it since Nerón seems to be talking about it a lot in the last couple of days. Flor looks concerned.

At Toño's parents, Christmas Eve is not too merry. Verónica reminds Toño that the only reason she is there is because of the kids and that the two of them are still separated. He gets sarcastic about what a sacrifice it must be for her to have to deal with all of his relatives. She makes it clear that is not the problem. Her problem is putting on a happy face so she does not ruin the children’s Xmas especially Neto's. They get into an argument about Neto and his medicine for his supposed ADD. Toño cannot understand how a doctor can see him only once and put him on medicine. Verónica explains that the doctor is an expert. It seems to her that Toño doesn’t take anything seriously. Toño argues it is not that. It is only that he has been on the internet . . . She scoffs at that. According to what he has read, the experts say that taking medication is the last option that should be considered. Before going with medication, you have to take a look at what is happening in the child's home, his environment.

Jorge nods and explains that he loves “doing it” but doesn’t like “talking about it” because he had a very strict upbringing. Either way, he enjoys his time with her and Kika loves how fiery and passionate he is and how opposites definitely attract.
