Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 77, 5/7/2018: Fathers Lost, But Not Forgotten
Alt. Title: Mission Implausible for the Odd Squad
Mau is at the gazebo telling the Coop members that Fabián
is not going to give up; he will keep badgering them. He tells them that they
can’t be waiting around and that they need to find out what Fabián and Falcón
are up to. They need to follow Falcón because Falcón would not be expecting
them to follow him; Fabián, on the other hand, is taking precautions for
himself….he even electrified his fence. (Mau, are you sure you are not making
that up about the fence?) When Toño asks when they should start, Mau responds,
“Right here! Right now!” (in English). After they all get up, Nerón asks when
they will be doing that, so Toño explains that they will be doing it now…that
is what Mau meant when he spoke in English.
In Tucson, a scruffy Pablo enters a home led by a lady
who tells him that they receive migrants there…whether they are documented or
undocumented. She doesn’t care to know which is the case is for him; she just
wants him to feel welcome. Pablo explains that he is just there to look for his
father since he was told that his father was there. When Pablo tells her his
father’s name, the lady smiles and says she definitely knows Don Melchor, but
she has bad news for Pablo; his father moved three years ago.
In their separate cars, Mau is looking through binoculars
and is on the phone with Toño asking him why he didn’t put anything on; so Toño
replies that no one told him they were supposed to disguise themselves.
(Then Curly asks Moe if...no, wait...) When Mau asks him if
he ever played ‘spies,’ Toño replies that he can’t hear well. Since they’re
parked right next to each other, Mau knocks on Toño’s window. Toño worries
because he hears banging; so Mau shouts, “It’s me, dummy!” After Toño rolls
down his window and tells Mau he couldn’t hear him, Mau repeats his question;
and Toño responds that he never played spies…so Mau tells him to at least put
on some sunglasses or a cap. When Nerón, who is with Toño, hands Toño some
sunglasses, Toño complains that they are women’s sunglasses, but puts them on
any way after Mau tells him they don’t look too bad. (But now you can't give me
an eye poke !)
Mau then asks ‘Jerubio’ (aka Jorge) what Gladys has
responded. Jorge, as usual, reemphasizes his name and tells Mau that he is just
now ask texting Gladys,. After a few seconds, Jorge tells them that Falcón is
coming out already! After they all recline their seats to hide from Falcón,
Falcón walks out and gets in his SUV. After Falcón speeds off, the Odd Squad
wastes time figuring out who should take off first. After they finally decide
that Mau and Jorge will go first, Toño and Nerón follow immediately afterwards.
(Ignoring the fact that no decision had been made as to who goes SECOND.)
[Mexican Version: At Nerón’s house, Renée comments to Flor
that she thought her godfather had gone out to work as a driver; she didn’t
know all the men were out on Coop business. Flor thinks it turned out well
because Renée brought all the kids to keep Milady company. After Flor adds that
the “babosita” (which, literally means ‘drooling’ but can also mean
‘airhead/dingbat’) is having fun, Renée slaps Flor on the arm and chides her
for calling the baby that, but Flor explains that she doesn’t mean it in a bad
way…it’s just that Milady’s teeth are just now starting to come out and she is
always licking her gums. Flor then wonders, since they are talking about
drooling, about Ariel, but Renée shakes her head indicating that there is
nothing going on.] After Flor gets up to go to the kitchen, Anifer and María
arrive; and María asks for Flor. After Renée tells her Flor is in the kitchen
and María goes off to the kitchen, Anifer asks Renée if she will go see her in
the play since she is going to be a princess. Renée replies that she needs to
check the date, but will try to go. As Renée asks Anifer if Neto will be in the
play too, María returns and listens. After Anifer responds that Neto will
indeed be in the play, she complains that no one has learned their lines since
they have to study a lot because of her father. María snidely remarks to Renée
that she figured Mauricio had told her that he would be directing the school
play…and about all the recents news. Renée responds that she hasn’t talked to
Mau for some time. (Namely, since you came back from the dead Draculetta.)
Anifer then asks Renée if she found her father. Renée doesn’t remember what she
has told Anifer…she found her father, something happened so she doesn’t know
where he is…she thinks she lost him again.
At Mission Implausible, the Odd Squad pairs are parked beside
each other as they stake out Falcón. Toño points out that Falcón is entering a
pharmacy. Mau thinks that’s very suspicious, but Jorge questions that since he
goes to the pharmacy very often; he knows one shouldn’t self-medicate, but he
sometimes does it. After Nerón comments that he also goes to the pharmacy quite
often to get “chochos” (candy) for Flor, Mau gasps that Falcón is coming! Jorge
backs up his vehicle to park as Nerón and Toño crouch and cover their faces…
Once Falcón takes off, the Odd Squad follows in hot pursuit
only to almost bang into each other. They argue about who should go first. Toño
questions why Jorge always has to go first, then concedes and gets out of
Jorge’s way, but Jorge thinks about it and thinks Toño should have his turn at
going first. (Just tell him he can be second, and he will shut up while trying
to figure out whether he is getting screwed or not.) Mau shouts that Falcón is
going to get away; so Jorge ends up leading the pursuit.
In Tucson, Scruffy Pablo comments that the lady’s food is
delicious. (Compared to cactus and roadkill ?) When he asks her to tell him
more about his father, the lady shares that his father lived there for two
years. The last year he lived there, he would travel to and from Los Angeles
until he finally decided to stay over there to live ( Uh-oh! Did he find a
‘Bonita?’). He even left most of his clothes and told her to donate it to other
migrants. When she comments that Pablo’s father is like a god…very giving,
Pablo asks if she ever heard from him again, but she hasn’t; the last thing she
heard was that he had a found a job in Los Angeles. Pablo then wonders if his
father ever mentioned his family or commented about his children, so the lady
responds that during the last year he was there, she noticed he was acting very
odd. Pablo is curious to know how he was odd.
At Mission Implausible, Falcón arrives at an apartment
building as the Odd Squads come to a stop and park beside each other. Mau
wonders if that is where he lives; and Jorge asks how they will know what
apartment he lives in. When Toño, the Boy Wonder, suggests they look at the
mailboxes or the door ringers, they all are amazed he thought of that; and Mau
thinks he actually did get into the world of Russian spies. Mau then asks how
they will do it; so Nerón suggests they wait until Falcón leaves. When Mau
mocks that they can’t just call a locksmith, Nerón comments there nothing to
worry about; there isn’t a lock he has never been able to pick. Mau then
sugggests that they trade partners—he will go up to the apartment with Nerón
while Jorge and Toño continue to follow Falcón.
At Nerón’s house, Anifer questions the Barrientos kids about
their parent’s divorce. Neto tells them the divorce is off because his parents
have made up, though Tany fears that they will fight worse than before. When
Neto asks Anifer if her parents are going to get married, Anifer isn’t sure,
but she doesn’t think so. Tania wonders if they are still ‘novios,’ but Anifer
doesn’t want to talk about it because they (the adults) might hear them. When
Neto asks what’s wrong if they hear them, Anifer explains that when Mau and
Renée were together, they loved each other very much. Meanwhile in the other
room, María tells Renée to call her if Flor needs help with the kids since she
and Anifer are leaving. After María calls Anifer, Anifer says good-bye to the
kids and gives Renée and Flor a hug and a kiss. After they leave, Flor notes
Renée’s sadness and pulls her to the table as she comments that María doesn’t
seem to fit in…she does like her, but María is somewhat odd. Renée more that
agrees, but remains quiet…(Wondering if Maria left any Meow Mix after visiting
the kitchen.)
At Mission Implausible, Nerón exclaims, “There he is; he has
a cane!” Mau shares that Renée told him that Noel could barely walk..the cane
must be his and they probably are hiding him there. After he tells Toño to
follow Falcón, Toño obeys. As they drive off, Toño get a call, but refuses to
answer because it’s his jefa (boss)/mom and she’ll start talking too much.
After he tells Jorge to keep an eye on Falcón, Toño gets another call which he
has to answer because this time it’s his ‘jefa’ from work and the home. When he
tells Vero that he is busy and asks if everything is okay, Vero tells him to
park the car because it’s something serious. After he parks, Vero tells him
that she is very sorry to tell him…but his father just passed away. Toño is stunned…
At Falcón’s apartment, Nerón successfully picks the lock so
he and Mau enter…mouths wide open. After Nerón whispers that for having someone
sequestered, Falcón doesn’t have much security, they hear a young boy’s voice
call out, “Papa? Have you come back already?” Nerón and Mau are shocked and
squat to hide behind a partition. As Mau peeks through the partition, the boy
(who seems to be blind) calls out, “Papa? Who is there?”
Outside, Toño can’t believe what Vero just said since he
talked to his father recently and he seemed fine. Vero assures him that it is
true…his father passed away. When she suggests that they shuould leave that
same night, Toño doesn’t think they should all go; they have nowhere to leave
the kids. When he tells her he will go alone, Vero understands and will make up
some excuse to tell Bustamante. After he hangs up, Toño tells Jorge about his
father; so Jorge gives him his sincere condolences. After that, Toño asks Jorge
if he saw where Falcón went, but Jorge tells him it’s not important.
Meanwhile, at the apartment, the son calls Falcón and tells
him he thought he had returned since he heard noises. When he asks if he will
be back soon, Falcón tells him he is at a council meeting and will return as
soon as he is finished. The son is worried because he heard on the news that
there have been a lot of burglaries recently..and with all the artwork they
have in the penthouse, he got scared.
In Tucson, the lady tells Pablo that during the last year Don
Melchor was very withdrawn. It seemed as if he didn’t want anyone to look at
his face; he always covered his head with a hood. He would leave very early in
the morning; and get back very late. After that, he started going to Los
Angeles. What worried her was how his personality changed so much. Pablo thinks
his father may have been sad and missed his family and his home. The lady
responds that it could have been that…or something else. When Pablo asks what
else it could be, the lady shares that she has seen many immigrants from
several places…once they get there, they change a lot. Most of them come to
break their backs working and make a better living, but others take the easy
road. Pablo wonders if she thinks her father turned the wrong way, so the lady
asks him if his father drank and dealt in some dirty businesses. When Pablo assures
her that his father never did that..he is a hard-working, honest man, the lady
cackles and points out that was in his homeland, but here, things change. They
get into bad company and everything changes. When the lady asks if his father
might have a girlfriend, Pablo gets offended and tells her that is definitely
not his father. (One thing his Dad taught him is to keep it in his pants?)
Back at Falcón’s apartment, the son is still on the phone
with Falcón apologizing for bothering him and telling him that being the
businessman of the year has its price. While Falcón responds that things didn’t
go as well this year as they did last year, Mau texts a message to Nerón that
Falcón is pretending to be a magnate and is pathetic; so Nerón agrees that it
is awful how Falcón is misleading the blind one. After hanging up, the son
walks slowly toward Mau and Nerón asking if someone is there. Mau slowly stands
and waves his hand in front of the boy to make sure he is blind, but the boy
just turns away and walks to the other room.
Mau then motions to Nerón that the boy is blind and signals
that they should go look around.
In Tucson, Pablo is on the phone with Lili explaining that he
hadn’t called because he arrived late and the phone battery died. When Pablo
shares that the trip was long and hard, Lili is just glad to hear that he is
well. When she asks if he is going to return since he didn’t find his father
there, Pablo replies that he is going on to Los Angeles because he was told
that his father may not be doing well. Since he is already there, he doesn’t
want to go back without seeing his father. Lili pleads with Pablo to be careful
and to call or text her whenever he can; she just doesn’t want to go days
without hearing from him. After he tells her to also be careful and to take
care of herself and the baby, Pablo hangs up.
At Falcón’s house, Mau and Nerón are focused on snooping when
Falcón walks in and sees them. (Oh Boy!)
Falcón quickly closes the door, drops his bags, and pulls out
his gun pointing it fiercely at Mau and Nerón. (Oops!) Just then, the boy is
heard to ask, “Papa, is that you?’ Falcón calmly responds, “Yes, Hector. It’s
me…I finished sooner than I thought. How are you? Is everything okay?” After
Hector replies, “Yes, everything is fine, dad,” he asks, “There is someone else
here, right?” but Falcón responds, “No, there is no one else. It’s only you and
me here…” as he continues to point his gun at Mau and Nerón who are frozen in
place…(Daddy....did you fart?)
In Tucson, the lady brings out a plate of food for Pablo.
When he asks her if she really thinks his father got into some crooked business
to be with another woman, the lady thinks it could be that way. She then shows
him some earrings that she found in the room where his father slept…in a
drawer. She suspects they could belong to some woman his father met…or maybe he
bought them for someone from his homeland and was planning to take them to her.
Pablo hopes so. (Oh Boy, plot earrings)
At Falcón’s apartment, Falcón manages to lead Mau and Nerón
out of the apartment...still pointing his gun at them. When he demands to know
why they are there and how they dare go to his home, Mau explains, “We didn’t
know we were going to find your son. We were only looking for evidence against
Fabián, obviously…and to find something out about Noel..or did he die again?”
Falcón warns, “Hear me well. You will not find any evidence against Fabián here
or anywhere else! Don’t get me involved in your problems…and let this be the
last time that you mess with my son and my private life.” Mau retorts, “Or
what? Are you afraid that your son will find out that you aren’t rich, that you
have nothing of value, that you don’t live near a golf course or that you
aren’t surrounded by works of art?” After Nerón adds, “It’s not worth it. Your
son looks like a good boy, but you have him living in a gross lie,” Falcón
hisses, “Leave now and don’t ever show your faces here again. I warn you,
Mauricio; or I will return the …and you know who I will go after.” Mau lunges
forward as he warns Falcón not to dare touch Anifer, but Nerón holds him back
as Falcón tells him, “Then stop your stupidities or suffer the consequences…and
leave, leave before I call the police!” After Mau and Nerón scurry away, Falcón
lowers his gun and breathes a sigh of relief as he leans heavily on the door.
At Veronica’s house, Veronica pleads with Toño that it’s his
father’s funeral and she wants to be with him. Toño, however, insists that she
stay with the kids; it’ll be easier and cheaper to get one plane ticket rather
than two. It’s best that she be there in case the children need something….also
because Bustamante will not like it if both of them are not there. Veronica
reminds him that she can make up some excuse, but if he prefers that she stay
there, though she isn’t in agreement, she won’t insist and will stay there.
Toño remains silent and has a pained look; so Veronica, with all sincerity
tells him, “Hey…Toño, my life…if you want to cry, cry, my love! Let it all
out.” Toño remains strong withholding his tears and only responds, “Yes.”
At Mau’s house, Mau, María, and Anifer are having dinner when
Anifer asks if she can invite her friends from school over to the house. After
Mau tells her that she should ask her mother, María, with her icy “I haven’t
gotten what I want” look, responds that it’s best if she ask her father…the
house is his. Anifer remarks that if they are going to be that moody, then
she’ll invite her friends some time later. After Anifer leaves to put on her
pajamas, Mau shares that they followed Falcón. María coldly responds, “And? I
don’t know why you are so intent. Forgive me, but your efforts up to now have
been useless.” When Mau retorts, “That’s cool. Excuse me for trying to clear
your name,” María counters, “Oh sure, because you are doing all of this because
of me, right…following any leads on Fabián, being very noble and after a few
days, you break up with me. You’re doing all of it for me?” Mau feels awful
about it, but it was the right thing to do; in time, she will agree with him.
María then remarks, “The only reason I am still in this house is because of
Anifer…to find the right time for us to leave. And, yes, I want justice to be
done, but, up to now, it seems that you don’t have a way to do that.” When Mau
asks if she has a way, Maria gets up and hands him a folder with her records
that she received that day. Her charges were filed by all the companies listed
and she recognizes all of them, except one. After she points out the name, Mau
admits that he does not recognize it…but it could be a ghost company made up by
Fabián. When he suggests that they should look into it, María doesn’t think it
could be of any good to continue accusing Fabián…or leave there and continue
with her life, As she pouts, she adds that she just doesn’t know; maybe it’s
time that she gives up. As María walks away to the kitchen, Mau stands to
follow her, but stops (he’s probably afraid of having the fate of the Titanic)
and reviews the folder again. (Is it chilly in here or is it just me?)
[Mexican Version: At Veronica’s house, Renée wonders if the
children have been told about their grandfather’s death. Veronica shares that
she hasn’t told them because she saw that there were about to fall asleep and
she didn’t want them to lose sleep because of the news; though she isn’t sure
how they will take it because they really didn’t spend much time with their
grandfather. They remember him because of last Christmas when they went over
there. When Renée asks if the grandfather ever came to visit them, Veronica
can’t even remember when the last time was…but even when they went over there
to visit, they didn’t see him very much. The grandfather was very quiet and
would leave the house. Renée is sorry that they have to be going through this,
but is glad that Vero and Toño are back together; if they hadn’t gotten back
together, this would have been a double whammy for Toño. Veronica feels sorry
for Toño and shares how he looked so pale when he left..because it was one
thing that he may not have been close to his father, but it’s another thing to
expect that his death wouldn’t hurt him. Renée nods and comments that the death
of a parent always leaves a deep mark…if you lived with them and they supported
you that is the best, but if you don’t know him or he appeared late in you
life, you either care about him or not…whichever it is, you are always thinking
about him.]
The Next Day—
At Logatoys, Falcón tells Fabián about the special visit he
had the day before. When Fabián sneers, “And you think I care about your
private life,” Falcón is somewhat stunned, but then refocuses and sits down
saying that Fabián is right and that they should focus on their work. (You
can't kill him yet Falcon, he is our main Bad Guy)
Outside the courthouse, Renée and Ariel walk out together as
Renée comments that she is not sure that the report and the few notes she gave
them will be sufficient to resolve her case. Ariel hopes that everything can be
resolved and that his father can review her case…surely his father has a friend
that can help out. Renée appreciates everything Ariel is doing for her. He came
for a vacation, but has been spending all his time with her. When she tells him
to take advantage of the time he has left to spend with his family, Ariel
shares that his family members have gone their separate ways. His parents are
divorced; his mother doesn’t live there and he sees his father at night…so he
can spend his vacation with her. Renée fudges and tells Ariel that she is glad
that he thinks of her when he makes plans, but if this is going where she
thinks it is, they need to get some things clear.
At the school, Mauricio asks the children who has learned
their part. After all the kids slam down their notebooks, Mau tells them they
will now start on the first scene, but Neto exclaims tha he doesn’t like the
play followed by Anifer who thinks it’s really bad. Mau ignores them and tells
them this is not the time for questions. As he continues, Neto has to go to the
bathroom and the other children turn their backs on him. (LooneyVision may have a place for you on the
other side of the camera, Maury)
Mau is fed up and tells them that when he was a child and
didn’t learn his lessons, his teacher would make him write everything 100
times. After he writes “I should study my lines” on the chart and tells them to
start writing in their notebooks, Anifer stands and complains, but Mau firmly
tells her to start writing. After a while, Neto is writing the sentence on the
chart while Mau has his feet up on the desk. Just then Laura comes in and asks
what is going on, so the kids run and surround her as Anifer tells her that Mau
made them write the sentence 100 times. After Anifer and the other kids
complain that the play is really BAD and boring, Laura crosses her arms and glares
at Mau. (The 'LOOK' that says, “You could write TNs.”)
At Kika’s suite, Jorge is apologizing for not telling his
kids about her yet. After he asks for more time, Kika agrees, but tells him
that there is one that already knows…Valentina. Jorge is dismayed that
Valentina knows and asks how she found out; so Kika assures him that Valentina
is fine with it and thinks it’s great. Valentina figured it out because of the
passport and some other things. In the end, she took it very well and his other
kids will take it well too….whenever he thinks the time is right is fine with
her. Jorge only asks that she give him time to find the right oppportunity to
tell them. Lately, he hardly sees them; he hasn’t had time. Kika wonders if he
has a lot of work or if the new company is exploiting him; so Jorge assures her
that isn’t it. In fact, he feels weird about the whole thing because he hardly
has any work to do; they don’t give him any work yet they pay him megabucks…he
just doesn’t understand. (Look down, Georgie Boy. You may find your answer.) When he adds that he has been very busy with
the Cooperative and that they are trying to get Fabián off their backs because
he is making their lives miserable, Kika has a cunning look.
At a restaurant, Renée explains to Ariel that if she is
saying all of this, it’s not to cut him off or be rude…or that it’s not
important, but she just wants to make things clear from the beginning. Ariel
responds that he, more than anyone understands her priorities because, after
all, it’s something they share…the mastery program is also important to him.
When Renée adds that no one else knows how much work it took to get where they
got, Ariel agrees, but also understands that it hasn’t been long since she
broke up with Mauricio; (Counting in minutes? Maybe, Ari?) he knows it will
take time to get over that…but he is in no rush (he can give her another twenty
minutes.). He first wants to win her trust as a friend (uh-huh!) and then, they
shall see. Just so she can see the difference, he is going to maintain the
friendship mode; he will not insist…so that she can view him as something more.
Renée asks for assurance that he understands; so Ariel promises as he raises
his right hand.
At Kika’s suite, Kika lies beside Jorge who wants to mention
something trivial. When he tells her that Mauricio knows about them, Kika
thinks it’s great! [Mexican Version: Just then Jorge gets a text from Lili to
let him know that things are fine at home. Kika thinks that Lili reporting to
him is a good step forward, but Jorge goes back and forth with his yesses and
nos until he explains that he promised to take Lili to Pablo and that’s the
only reason…not that she wants to make him feel assured. When Kika asks if they
have received word from Pablo and if he has crossed the border, Jorge responds
that he did make it across. Kika thinks that’s wonderful because it shows that
Pablo is keeping tabs on Lili. Jorge then shares his honest opinion and tells
Kika that he is actually hoping that Pablo finds his father and gets so excited
with the American dream that he will forget about Lili and his son..and not
return…that is what he is hoping for. Kika is not impressed as she rolls her
eyes…(Jorge you're cut off..... Well, maybe for a little while....OK, that's
long enough. :-)
At the school, Laura tells Mauricio that several parents have
called to complain about his methods. He can’t expect the children to memorize
the whole play from one night to the next; they are not professionals. After
the children make faces at him, Mauricio agrees that he expected too much from
them; he thought they had some talent. (Eye of the beholder, perchance, Drapery
Neck?) When he tells Laura that he will
resign as director, the children cheer, but Laura doesn’t want him to quit or
give up. She wants him to return the next day. When she turns around and asks
the little angels if they will help him, behave and take care of him, they all
smile wide and respond ‘yessss’ in unison. As soon as Laura leaves, the little
devils make faces and look annoyingly at Mau.
In Tucson, the lady tells a cleaned up Pablo to be very
careful because the trip to Los Angeles is very long. Pablo has no idea how he
will do it, (Walk, grow feathers and fly, see if there is a river from here to
there and swim, get back on that bus?) but he hopes to find his father. After he
thanks her, she gives him a sandwich to take and a card with the name of a
restaurant where his father supposedly worked in Los Angeles. Pablo thanks her
again; at least he now has somewhere to start in his search for his father.
After she gives him a blessing and reiterates that it will be a long trip,
Pablo doesn’t care how long it is; he would travel the country from one side to
another just to find his father.
In his bedroom at his mother’s house, Toño sadly looks at a
picture of himself with his father. Just then, Veronica calls and he tells her
it was quicker than he expected; they just arrived from the funeral. After
Veronica expresses her sorrow and tells him she is with him, Toño shares, “What
got to me was that I didn’t get to say good-bye…my only good-bye was when he
was in the coffin and that doesn’t count. I would have like to have seen him
alive…” Veronica knows Toño is hurting, but at least he was able to be there
for his father’s last farewell; and whereever his father is, his father knows
how much he loves him. Toño then tells Veronica that he must hang up so that he
can see about a ticket to return to them. After he gets his bag to start
packing, Esperanza walks in and tells him that his cousins are waiting for him
so that they can tell him good-bye. Toño then recalls, “Just last Christmas, my
‘jefe’ looked very happy because I came with all my tribe. He told me to stay
longer, but, because I was in such a rush as always, I told him I would come
back later.” Esperanza also recalls how his father would always hope that Toño
would come spend his vacations with him. Toño responds, “The worst thing is, I
don’t know why I didn’t come…excuses, reasons were never lacking, you know. But
as I think about it, I don’t even know why I never took that break that I
promised him.” Esperanza gently strokes his face as she tells him not to berate
himself anymore; it’s of no use. When she tells him that his father always knew
that he loved him very much..and now he is resting in peace, Toño eyes fill
with tears as he remarks, “I didn’t come because I was thoughtless.” He then
asks why more people didn’t come to pay their respects; there were more people
from her side of the family than his father’s side. Esperanza responds. “That’s
just the way things are. The important thing is that you came to say your last
farewell.” After she tells him she loves him very much, they hug…and he tells
her he loves her too…
In Los Angeles, Pablo arrives at the restaurant where his
father was known to work. As he approaches, one of the waiters stops him and
tells him that if he came for the diswasher job, he should go through the back.
Pablo, not given an opportunity to speak, heads toward the back of the
restaurant. (“Sometimes you gotta wash a few plates to find your
Papa”---Shakespear?)
At Logatoys, Fabián asks where the heck they got the focus
group. When Falcón tells him that they followed all the appropriate procedures,
Fabián is aghast that they rated his project a 5.5 out of a possible 10—just
like that! Falcón points out that they did note some good things, so there is
room for improvement. As he throws down the folder, Fabián cackles and tells
them he knows very well that it can be improved. He is beside himself and can’t
believe these people! He then tells Falcón that this is HIS porject and that of
his father; it does not deserve a 5.5. He then adds, “What are you waiting for
to make the changes? GO!” As he gets up to leave, Falcón reports that the
feedback they got from the children was contradictory and asks Fabián to tell
them what he expects, but Fabián sighs in frustration because he has to do
everything. He then orders Falcón and the designer to go get to work; that is
what he pays them for! They need to hurry with the robot; he wants it
yesterday! (Falcon, MY trigger finger is itching too, bide your time.)
In the kitchen of the restaurant in Los Angeles, Pablo sees a
man and thinks it’s his father, but the man tells him he has no children. After
Pablo tells him he is looking for his father, Melchor, the man tells him that
he did work there, but that was about two years ago; he lost track of him after
that. When Pablo complains that he feels quite trampled, the man tells him that
at least he is in LA…he can continue looking for his father. Pablo worries that
he doesn’t know what he will do since he has no where to go or stay; he has no
work and doesn’t know anyone. The man then suggests that Pablo take the
dishwasher job…that way he can stay and look for his father. As far as the man
knows, his father is still in LA. As the man leaves, he tells Pablo to think
about what he needs to do.
At Mau’s house, Toño enters to join the Coop meeting and
greets the other members who can only look at him with regret. Toño feels the
vibes and tells them that is life; everyone is guaranteed that they will die.
When he asks how things are going because this is a work meeting so first
things first, the other men remain somber; so Toño assures them that he is
fine; he has accepted it and completed that process.
At Nerón’s house, the ladies are together. [Mexican Version: Flor
comments that it is terrible to bury a parent; when she was a child both her
parents died and it felt horrible. At that, Renée remarks that Flor always
leaves her with her mouth wide open, she always takes life so naturally even
with painful events. Flor laughs and tells her they have no other choice. In
her case, she couldn’t even cry because she had to take care for her siblings
to make sure they got ahead in life. She then adds that life is like that; you
have to get up, work at it, and give thanks to God that you are alive…not be
all sad and depressed. Veronica remains quiet, so Flor urges them to agree with
her…they finally get revved up and agree.] Afterwards, Renée asks Vero if
they’ve already told the kids. Vero tells them she hasn’t because she was
waiting for Toño, but now they will have to wait till tomorrow. She confides
that she actually wants to talk to Toño before the kids see him because he is
acting somewhat strange. When Renée asks if Toño came back in bad shape,
Veronica responds that it is quite the reverse; and that is what worries her.
He arrived and went straight to the Coop meeting as if it were just any other
day that he arrived from work…not from his father’s funeral. Flor thinks men
are just like that; they will not acknowledge when they are sad or when things
are not right…they don’t like to show their feelings and keep everything
inside. Renée comments that she knows of some serious cases, but Veronica
remarks that is not the case with Toño; he is the official crier of the family
yet he hasn’t shed one tear since he found out about his father. That is why
she is sure that behind that hard face and robot-like actions, there has to be
something more.
At the Coop meeting, Nerón doesn’t think it should be so
difficult to find a bunch of kids; they have enough with the ones at the
cul-de-sac…that’ll make up that focus thingy they want. Mau responds that it
isn’t that easy; they have to conduct a study because it wouldn’t be of value
to them if the kids have a wide age range or vast circumstances. Toño agrees
with Mauricio and thinks his children are a good example. They wouldn’t be up
to participating since they just lost their grandfather…though they still don’t
know he died…and they didn’t know him that well. At that, Mau suggests they
take a break and tells Toño he needs to talk about it. Nerón agrees and assures
Toño that no one there will criticize him; they are his friends. Toño insists
that there is nothing to tell, but the others know otherwise. Toño then blurts
out, “My father never came to see this Cooperative come to fruition. I did tell
him a little about it; I mentioned it to him one day. And you see, all of
sudden…gone, life ends. Friends, make good use of your time. I, for example, am
not sure where the hit came from. I don’t know what was worse…seeing him lie
there dead or knowing how alone he was…because very few of his friends and his
family went to say their last farewell. The ones that were there were from my
mother’s side of the family…to see HER, not to mourn my father. I
ask…seriously, is that how we, the men, die? Does no one care about us?
Because, honestly, the truth is… he was like a…satellite; he was there, not
bothering anyone, not doing anything. My mother would take care of him
half-heartedly. They were even going to separate…at their age…dear God! To me,
my father lived days, weeks, months years…waiting for his death. It is vey hard
to know that my father’s life…other fathers’ lives..or at least that of mine
can be summed up like that. I don’t want that to happen to me. I want them to
reward me while I’m here on earth because, as I see it, the mothers take it
all…and men what? Mothers are given all the love, they are the center of the
home, they wear the medals; and what are we? What are we, the males…men or
clowns? I’m serious because now that my father has died, everyone was concerned
for my mother…everyone! And my father what? He is the one who died! What’s
going on with the men?” Jorge comments that if what Toño wants is for his
father to be remembered, the best thing would be that Toño remember him. He
listens to Toño and thinks that the best tribute his father can get is what
Toño is sharing with them. Nerón hopes that his sons talk as well about him
when he is food for the worms. Mau thinks that the point is that they all have
to learn to not forget about their fathers; and if they honor their fathers,
with luck, their own children won’t forget about them. Right afterwards, Toño
gets up and tells them he’ll be right back. After he walks into the kitchen,
his friends hear his woeful sobs…and cry with him… (Even the dogs
are howling…)

Rgv Chickie, thank you for another splendid recap. I just loved Mission Implausible for the Odd Squad
Real life intervened (don't you just hate it when that happens?) and I couldn't watch. I just finished your recap and tonight's episode has started. Ouch.

Yes, Steve, may he rest in peace.
When the episode first started, I thought, "Oh yay, some comic relief! but then it plummeted when Tono found out about his father. Very sad that Tono did not get to say a last farewell. Losing a father, or either parent, has a great impact. Whether the father was present or not, good or bad, understanding or strict, the fact of the matter is we never forget our fathers.
In my case, I was 18 months old when my father passed away. I have no recollection of his face or smile, whether he was loving or cold, or if he was loved or feared, but I will never forget him because he gave me life and he chose a strong, resilient and loving woman to be my mother. He lived through her and there isn't a day that I don't think about him. So I raise my glass...here's to fathers!!
More tomorrow...

((((Chickie)))) what a loving tribute to your father, and thank you for the recap. Why is this "comedy," so sad ? I
I had a sweet dad. He was by no means perfect , but he was a loving, funny father to my sister and me who kept us safe and fed. Since his parents divorced when he was very young and his step father was pretty cold , I often wondered after I grew up now he became such a good dad. Hub is the best dad I know. I think that in many ways he was closer to my dad than he was to his. He helped take care of both our dads at the end of their lives. Let',s raise our glasses (,coffees cups?) To fathers.

Thanks, RgvChick, for the excellent recap. The titles were both apropos.
I enjoyed this episode mainly because of Raúl Araiza and his portrayal of Toño reacting to the news of his father’s death. . Outstandingly subtle but effective.
Another highlight was Pablo on the trail of his father finding out for himself that his father might not be the man he remembered.
A real lowlight was Mauricio and Nerón breaking into Falcón’s apartment. Really????
Hope tonight has some more genuinely funny situations. On we roll !

Oh my, things did get Shakespearean at the end with that meditation on the lives of men living at the margins of their families....providing for them but remaining at the edges, letting women build and maintain the emotional relationship with the children.
Thanks RgvChick for sharing a little about your early loss. I was lucky enough to grow up with two parents, but my dad had tuberculosis when I was 3 years old, and was away in a sanatorium for 6 months, and then had to spend another 6 months in bed at home. Evidently I cried a lot that year missing him, although I don't remember it. My mom told me I would lay my head on his pillow and just sob. Parents are important.
Well, sound like your mom passed her strength and resilience down to you...as well as a lively, down to earth sense of humor. So many great lines in this one:
(Then Curly asks Moe if...no, wait...)
Mission Implausible
Odd Squad
(Look down Georgie Boy. You may find your answer.)
And oh boy the "plot earrings". So the writers pulled that musty old card out of the deck. Well, another mystery to either be solved or forgotten along the way.
Thanks RgvChick. Another delightful recap. Many thanks.

Thank You Ms. RGV Chik. Wow, a real mix of salt and sugar in this one. The funny parts were actually sorta funny in a slapstick kind of way. The somber parts:
Let me just say this: Tono talking about his Dad reminds me that it is an abomination what modern society has done to us white, straight, men. We have invented, built, and paid for the world as we know it, and fought and died in wars to preserve freedom and are now the most reviled one group of people on this planet. And we soldier on quietly like Tono's Dad.
Fire away, I'm used to it by now.
Kirby
I noticed that a TNer walking through the desert can get dirtier than I get changing a boat engine. Later the benevolent lady had on different clothing, I assume that indicated she had a shower or something. Pablo STILL had his dirty face. Could she not pitch him a damp washcloth to wipe that face. I know I know I take care of the face. The hands may take a beating, but the face is off limits to dirt.
Hoodie says gang banger to us here in S Fla. I am afraid Pablo's long quest may not end well.

Mission Implausible and Odd Squad were the best.
It was UNbelievable that Falcon could hold the two at gunpoint without his son noticing anything. When one sense goes away, the others (like hearing) usually gets more acute. Mau and Neuron whispering mere yards away was just beyond unbelievable. They should have had thought bubbles and telepathy.

RgvChick, your comment on your father was simply lovely. Beautiful and heartfelt. It sounds as though both your parents are wonderful and your father is lving on in your heart. No greater gift.
Susanlynn, I'm raising my coffee with you - To fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, children - to all family. To all friends.
"Namely, since you came back from the dead Draculetta" and "Oh Boy, plot earrings) made me smile. Yet another fantastic, detailedm, riveting recap. Loved both titles. So clever.
"real mix of salt and sugar in this" nailed it Kirby. Lovely duck.
"...meditation on the lives of men living at the margins of their families....providing for them but remaining at the edges" was so insightful Judy. It really tugged at my heartstrings.
"Flor then wonders, since they are talking about drooling, about Ariel". Ahh Flor, you are kind. Perhaps too kind. I am still ambivalent about Ariel. He speaks, he acts and yet, he is just there. Not a riveting screen presence. I am really starting to like Flor's wig. Kinda more than Ariel :)
“(Walk, grow feathers and fly, see if there is a river from here to there and swim, get back on that bus?). Yes, Pablo is a man without a plan, isn’t he? It does appear that with such a reliable source, Pablo's daddy may have drifted into some trouble.
Perhaps Falcon is a far better father than person.
"I enjoyed this episode mainly because of Raúl Araiza and his portrayal of Toño reacting to the news of his father’s death. . Outstandingly subtle but effective." I couldn't agree more Jarifa.
I did feel there was a quiet understanding, a bonding in the silence between Jorge, Tono, Mau and Neron. I felt as though Tono's father was quite cold to him during their last conversation. And Tono's guilt for not seeing him as much as he should war real and all too prevalent in what occurs in real life.
It is beautiful here. I so wish I were outside to soak up the rare sunshine we are experiencing here today. I wish all of you a happy day today.

Good Morning, Patio Pals! Thanks from me and Ghost for dropping in with your kind and insightful comments.
Susy, your dad sounds wonderful and your hubba even more so. You are one lucky lady...and your hubba is one lucky guy :-) Match made in heaven!
Jarifa, "I enjoyed this episode mainly because of Raúl Araiza and his portrayal of Toño reacting to the news of his father’s death." Amazing performance and Tono really did gain quite a few points last night.
JudyB, "things did get Shakespearean at the end with that meditation on the lives of men living at the margins of their families....providing for them but remaining at the edges" Agree with, Diana, very insightful and beautifully stated.
Kirby, " Pablo STILL had his dirty face. " OMGoodness, I think the first thing I would have done is find at least some water to clean up my face. Had I been that lady, I certainly would have shown him the way to the restroom to clean up before feeding him.
Diana, "I did feel there was a quiet understanding, a bonding in the silence between Jorge, Tono, Mau and Neron." There certainly was. It was touching to see that bond that has grown so strong between mean who are so different.
Oh, Jarifa! Thank you for providing the title of that song. I thought about it when I was writing the recap, but couldn't for the life of me remember the title....and I was too tired to look it up.
Kirby, "Fire away, I'm used to it by now." Let me just say that the thing that I have enjoyed most about the patios I have participated in are the participants who, BTW, have become such good friends...like a cyberfamily. All the consistent participants are truly wonderful, kind and giving persons...and I think that is what we should focus on. Like any family, there are differences of opinion and personalities, but in the end, we support and respect each other. And like in any family, there will be times when comments will be made that are not to everyone's liking and some will take more serious than others, but it is then that we must show patience and remember the good in the people we share the patio with. I'll get off my little soap box now :-)
Have a beautiful day!

Jarifa...yes, just so."Cats in The Cradle"..such a sad song and a reminder of how fast time flies and that the only thing that really matters are the people in our lives. Someone once wrote that people may not remember what we say or do but they will always remember how we made them feel. That thought has really stayed with me.
Judy..I always learn a lot from your wise words.
It is interesting the way this telenovela shows men bonding.
I must say that Ariel is a cutiepie. He and Renee could be siblings.

Chickie...I must tell you that I have been pretty lucky with the men in my life... my dad, hubba, brother in law, old beaus (,mostly), friends, cousins, uncles, students who were like sons. My maternal grandfather died before I was born . I only remember meeting my paternal grandfather once because he and my grandmother divorced . No brothers. One very awful son in law. 😈

Pablo, like Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire, seems to count on the kindness of strangers (Neuron, Flor, new lady) as he makes his journey northward to his father.I agree about the dirty face. A shower is a highlight of the day for me. Cleanliness is next to Godliness...said someone who was evidently both clean and godly.

Thank you for your recap, Rgv Chick, the scenes that were cut for the U.S. version, and the snark! Loved Odd Squad, Three/Four Stooges, Mission Implausible, and plot earrings.
Nothing says discrete and undercover like a big honkin' bright ed Honda Element SUV. LOL
The 'LOOK' that says, “You could write TNs.” Oh yes, and it evidently still doesn’t take much, these days. I gave Amor Sin Maquillaje a try yesterday, and it was like an episode from MCDLVR. Pass.
Tucson lady must be doing a good business; her house is very nice.
Very touching scenes around Toño’s dad’s death & funeral.
"the Toño situation reminded me of the old Harry Chapin song “Cat’s in the Cradle”. " Spot on, Jarifa.

Well, now that we have all THAT out of the way, my Woofervision may have been malfunctioning, but has 'Assistant Vice Principal' Laura become more um...chesty, lately or is she wearing Duck tape on her Puppies with Mauricio the Artistic Director for a spell?
Kirby, Laura seems to be wearing tighter fitting clothes so maybe that explains why her chest seems more “visible “. I wonder what she did with all her hairbands.
Steve: "ROFLOL. That guy is a SEX ADDICT."
Well, Steve, Kika seems to generate more than a passing interest in that activity doesn't she?
Like every other girl in this show, Laura is several notches past 'Attractive'. They seemed to attempt to disguise her good looks with her hippy dippy look for a while, but now seem to have given up. Woof

Doris, "Tucson lady must be doing a good business; her house is very nice." That was a very nice house. I wasn't sure if I should call it a shelter which is what it sounded like, but looking at it, it did look more like a home.
Kirby, I forgot to respond to your comment about Falcon's son. I thought the same thing about the blind boy's senses, but I thought of the sense of smell. Neron and Mau are sharp dressers, surely they wear cologne.
And what's up with Falcon making his son believe that they live in a penthouse filled with expensive works of art...and where is Mrs. Falcon...flew the coo-coo's nest???

Chickie...I wonder what the introduction of Falcon's son is supposed to mean. Are we supposed to feel more sympathetic towards him? Will he turn against Fab and help the good guys?

Susy, i’m not sure. Maybe they just want to “humanize “ him and, as you said, have us be more sympathetic toward him. Is he going to be another “papa a toda madre” in the end? Because if he gets caught and put in jail, what will happen to his son?
Chickie..yes...another dad. There must be a reason this new character was introxduced.
