Caray, Caray!

RVG Chick: I'll be looking forward seeing your recap.
 

"That dam eagle is around here somewhere, I heard him a minute ago. Keep your eyes open.----------->

Ha Ha..Emilia woke up in AbNornan's old room. I wonder if she's preggers now. She was growing on me but now, I just feel sorry for her.

And the new gender modified Pene will be at 'Work' with Bela to have her back. Thank You

Slim Simon didn't exactly look like he wanted a piece of Big Mike, did he?
Can't wait for the recap RGV

E V E R Y episode is good. Damn nail biter every night.
 

Episode 23, Part 1: What’s Your Secret?

While Omar leads Maritza into BBB‘s office, she questions him about how long he’s been employed there and about BBB’s manner of handling employees. He tells her not to worry, BBB doesn’t deal with the employees there very much.

PickleGlo calls JP to ask why he didn’t come home….Emi didn’t come home either; so she feels horrible that she’s alone. She realized this morning that she had slept all by herself. Poor thing. After JP tells her he’ll talk to Emi, he calls Emi, but it goes to her voicemail.

Simon is in Puebla. He bangs on the door and introduces himself as a federal agent. No answer.

Eman is at his office and wants to know if anyone has heard from Emi. Secretary says no, but she has been trying to call her. Just then, JP rushes in and asks for Emi. Eman tells him that all he knows is that Emi stayed there late to work. When he sees Emi, Eman will give her JP’s message.

At BBB’s car dealership, the former employees complain that BBB is already hiring new people. Omar tells Israel that BBB can’t talk to them. Meanwhile, BBB saunters into her office and tells Maritza that she needs to change her attitude or she will be the one to lose out. Maritza tells her that she needs someone like her and that her objective is to become the director. When Maritza mentions that she’s 38, BBB doesn’t believe it (neither do we)…she thinks Maritza can’t be over 30.

Maritza thanks BBB for the compliment; they’ve always told her she looks younger than she is. When BBB tells her that she’s not going to have people who lie (since she thinks her resumé is false and still doesn’t believe her age) working for her, Maritza doesn’t fall for it so she walks out, but BBB goes after her and tells her that she’s hired.

Simon calls JP and tells him that he has talked to several people who knew Pedro Ancira. No one suspected he had any problems; nor did they see him as depressed or likely to commit suicide. He was married two times…one of his marriages was to Margarita, Penelope‘s mother.

Israel and BBB come to an agreement. BBB will not require them to resign. They can meet to discuss a fair deal with the former employees, but they’d better not return to the agency.

Eman questions a casino employee. He can’t believe that they just allow people to get in a taxi and leave without helping them. Eman then notices some security cameras

BBB comes back to her office where Maritza is waiting for her. Maritza questions why BBB is there if she expects new employees to be hired…she should be out there hiring people. Just then, BBB gets a call from Eman who needs a favor. Maritza listens as BBB mentions Eman by name and asks what it is that he needs. He wants to view the casino security camera tapes. Later as he view the tapes, he sees the taxi that took Emi away from the casino.

Maritza wants to know why BBB changed her mind about hiring her. BBB still thinks that she’s lying about her age, but her profile is impressive. Maritza then insists that she be part of hiring her team.

Later, when the hiring starts, Maritza hires a man, the girl that was talking to Pene; and Pene. She then tells BBB that her team is complete.

At his office, Eman tells two of his agents to locate the driver of the taxi and find out where he dropped off Emi. Afterwards, BBB calls him because now she needs his help. She wants him to investigate Maritza for her. Uh-oh!

Simon goes looking for Penelope. Mike answers and tells him she’s not there. Simon wants her phone number but Mike doesn’t have it; so Simon tells him he will get an order to get her phone number.

Eman calls someone and tells them to get all the info they can on Maritza. Later, he goes to talk to a young man who works at a place where Emma frequents; it looks like the club where Emi used to sell the pink stuff. The young man tells Eman that Emi was planning to leave the city. After Eman leaves, the young man looks at Emi who’s dead drunk on the floor behind a counter.
 

Episode 23, Part 2: What’s Your Secret?

Bella and Penny are talking on the phone. Pene wants to know why she hired the annoying girl and what’s next on their plan. Maritza wants people who can’t sell. Later, BBB talks to the new team. Whoever sells the most will get a bonus. They have to sell 50 cars; and if they don’t meet the goa, they can find their way home.

Emi is still quite drunk and asks if anyone came looking for her. The young man tells her that her brother didn’t come but a man from Interpol was there. So Emi knows that it was Eman who came to look for her.

JP and Simon talk about Penelope being involved in Pedro’s suicide. JP doesn’t think there is anything there; he doesn’t feel it. Simon thinks it’s because JP is in Luuurve with Bella.

After the agent gives Eman the info on Maritza, Eman tells him to check all the cameras at the airports and to look for Emi. He gives them Emi’s phone number and tells them to call repeatedly.

Emma is walking down the street all drunk and making a fool of herself. She yells at the cars passing by.

BBB asks Omar what he thinks of the new team. He thinks Maritza is very much like BBB when she was young.

Later, BBB is in the tub with frog slime on her face when Eman calls to corroborate the information on Maritza. While they talk, Eman looks at Maritza’s picture, he says, “It can’t be,” but when BBB questions him, he tells her that Maritza doesn’t look 38.

Pene gets back home. Mike likes how she looks, but Pene bursts his bubble and tells him to keep his comments to himself.

JP thinks that Simon may be onto something with the suicide in Puebla after all. Simon goes off to talk to Pene.

Emi is at the casino losing all her winnings so I guess she is going to need her job back very soon. She starts whining and complaining as Eman arrives. Emi hugs him as she cries; so he takes her away.

Maritza arrives at BBB’s house and wonders why BBB wants to meet with her there when they have business to discuss. After she reminds BBB that she’s got to go meet with her team and can’t waste time, BBB tells her that she is her employee and will do as told. BBB is impressed that Maritza has done in 24 hours what no other employee has done…and she’s a woman who is aggressive and speaks her mind. BBB still wants to know Maritza’s secret…how does she keep so young. Bella tells her that she drinks a lot of water, eats well and she sees her dermatologist often. When Leonor comes in, BBB insults her and tells her that no dermatologist could help her look pretty.

Penny is out with Simon and wonders why Simon asked her out. Simon wants to know everything about her. What is she like? How many sisters and brothers does she have, etc? After Pene tells him that she went to an orphanage in the States and she returned to Mexico recently, Simon asks her about Puebla, but Pene doesn’t like to talk about that. Simon then brings up her stepfather; he doesn’t think that his death was a suicide.

Emi wakes up to see Eman staring down at her. He’s such a slime…he’s probably undressing her with his eyes. Yikes she’s in the same bed where Norman was! Hopefully she doesn’t have the same fate. Eman gives her a drink…hopeofully, it doesn’t contain Rohypnol.

BBB offers coffee to Maritza but Maritza turns it down. She wants to know what happened to Leonor. BBB tells her it’s a long story...it happened several years ago. BBB then insists that Maritza give her the dermatologist’s info, but Maritza will talk to the dermatologist herself.

As Maritza leaves, she stops at the entrance and gets BBB’s keys. Omar almost catches her; but Maritza tells him she was looking for her keys. As Maritza walks away, she drops the keys into her purse.

 

Correction; Omar almost catches her; but Maritza tells him she was looking for her PHONE. As Maritza walks away, she drops the keys into her purse.
 

Nice, very very nice RGV . every little detail great.
Hey when BBB had the frog slime on in the bathtub, was she in ice cubes? It was not just soap suds.

Dead drunk behind the bar, Classy, Emi, just pure class ....Fruit...tree...tree...meet your fruit.

Dabbit, Bela, you are playing with fire now. Eman recognized you, I think. And your dermatologist? How are you going to fix that? If Eman does any half-assed background check you are toast, unless he decides to save you.

And where oh where is this stupid Puebla investigation going? Have there been only two suspicious deaths in Mexico thus far this year? Christ, Simon, get a dog......... or a hobby.

Oh my, pumpkin time.
 

Thanks, RgvChick. I missed this completely tonight so your recap is appreciated.
 

I was thinking about our little misguided Emi last night. I wonder why she didn't go home and rather slept on the floor, it appears, in some stinky bar? Did she not want Pickle to see her drunk ? ? ? ? ?

Hoppy Friday Patio
 

Thank you, Rgv Chick.

I think I got Bela's plan now. Her being 38 and looking 25 is the hook for Madame. And the dermatologist is a good excuse to lure her away to a secluded place and ... have a conversation.

I suspect Leonor's face is the result of something Madame did. Maybe in the past someone said that her sister looked prettier, so she made sure it wasn't true.

Emi won $500,000 pesos ($25,000 dollars.) And the next day comes in and blows them away. No concept of money and what it means to earn it.
 

Lucio: I think Emanuel figured out Maritza is Isabella.

Kirby: Blondie Bitch smirking in the tub tempts me to want to drown that wench!

Jarifa: I doubt Emilia will be long for this world.
 

Thanks, Rgv Chick. Fab job. I lost track of Emi and didn't realize she wound up where Norman was. Yuck.

Kirby, yep Emi draws pity from me too. Just when I think she's using her noggin, she whacks out into a helpless messy heap. Ugh, and Eman the predator is the only one who knows how truly messed up she is.

Lucio, ITA everything you said. So Bella had a plan behind playing 38. Nice to know our heroine strategized. Too bad she didn't consider anybody could take her picture and send it around.
 

Good Morning, Patio Pals! Thanks Jarifa, Kirby and Lucio.

This plan that Bella has for BBB looks like it's going to take longer to implement. Lucio, you've got a pretty good theory about Bella's plan...makes a lot of sense. And I wouldn't put it past Madame BBB to have done something to her own sister because of jealousy. The woman is pure evil.

Ok, so Bella saw Hor being buddy-buddy with Eman and now she overheard BBB talking to Eman and telling him she would help him out...when is Bella going to connect those dots???

If Emi won $25,000 and she said it was 3 months worth of salary, that would put her monthly salary at approx. $8300. Wow pretty good for a receptionist!

Kirby, yeah, I'm sure Emi didn't go home so she wouldn't be seen drunk, but mainly by JP. Pickle would probably have scolded her for not inviting her to go get drunk.

Did Eman really recognize Bella when he saw the pic of Maritza? You would think he would have gone to talk to her immediately; but I suppose his focus was on getting to Emi before she could talk to anyone.

I'm still amazed at the length of Maritza's dress since she is supposed to be 38 years old.

Kirby, "E V E R Y episode is good. Damn nail biter every night." My nails are pretty much gone already :-)
 

Niecie, about Emi... "Just when I think she's using her noggin, she whacks out into a helpless messy heap." and that is why I keep jumping over that fence so often; eventually I'm going to bust a knee and stay on one side that will probably turn out to be the wrong side.
 

Lucio, good thinking. So she has been using, obvio, the fountain of youth, and of course, BBB Bitch bitch bitch wants in on THAT action. Clever on Bela's part and yours. Wow.
I assume BIG Mike has ginned up a fake Drivers License for Bela with her fake age.

I like these shows where the good people are smart. It goes nicely with a patio which is smart.
I was thinking the same thing about Emi's moola. That's just shy of six figures. My beanie just tore the Velcro loose.

" You would think he would have gone to talk to her immediately;" Man that could be tricky. It might be possible to convince Eman that for every person there is a duplicate out there somewhere, but to disguise your voice and personal mannerisms is a stretch.

So will it be possible to recruit ManHo & The Maid to help Maritza? That would be a big plus, but if those two are totally dependent on BBB they may have a light case of the Stockholm Syndrome.

And Thanks again RGV.
 

Yeah, but your nails are gone from typing. :-)
 

Rgv Chick, Kirby, when Emi was elated about the number on the check, she said, Wow! It is like three YEARS worth of my salary.
 

Oh ok, Lucio. That sounds better now, thanks! I was thinking of going to Mexico to apply for Emi’s job, but naaah!
 

Rgv Chick, excellent, excellent.

"Madame BBB, betcha Bella beats yo’ butt blue!" and "frog slime" are among many favorites.

For me, the two most cringe worthy moments was Emi waking up on the cot of death and Em seeing and ID'ing Bella's picture.

So did BBB calling Em by name raise any flags with Bella? I'm not sure.

Lucio, I compltely agree that BBB caused her sister's current disfigurement. Gruesome. And your rationale for Bella's plan makes perfect sense. Bella was clearly concerned when she saw Lenor, she was being her sweet, kind self in that scene. Her "mask" dropped.

Emi was a hot mess last night. I hope she uses her intelligence a bit more and stops the whining and immature behavior. I hope Em leaves her alone.

Interesting point about "Stockholm Syndrome"...

What I don't understand is the team Bella assembled. I think she could sell but the other 2? Guess she doesn't plan on staying long.

I'm sure Simon must have bigger fish to fry (?)

Rgv Chick, well done as always.

Thank you!

Diana
 

Lucio, Thanks, I swore it was MONTHS. If it has landed yet I have t go get my beanie. :-)
 

B&B script studio: "! Armando, do you read that Gringo internet Blog Caray? Well, you should. A couple of those people are making you look like a college intern. You gotta think about this shit before you fire it over to the camera lot .! "
Ayi yai yai.....
 

Diana, when BBB called Eman by name it was hard to tell for me, as Bela was listening so intently, any more effort would have made her ears grow.
 

Thank you, Chickie.

Yes I am sure Madame would !ike to find The Fountain of Youth,, and that desire will !eD to her down fall. Will she die in bubble bath ?

Emi is immature, arrogant, and greedy ..not a good combination of personality traits, but then considering her parents, what would you expect?
 

No surprise about Emilia.
 

Rgv Chickie, thank you for yet another excellent recap, appreciated even more than usual because I will be running around today and I'm not sure I'll have time to watch.

But Chickie, please! "I'm still amazed at the length of Maritza's dress since she is supposed to be 38 years old." OMG! Are you saying that 38 is OLD???
:-p


Happy Friday the Thirteenth afternoon, everybody.

JudyB, thanks for the all clear signal, and ITA that the occasional walk down Memory Lane can be great fun.

Wow! Very interesting theory about Maritza's age vs her appearance being something to suck in Mdme BBB. Has somebody grown a brain in the last episode or two?

More later... hopefully.

andy
 

Andy, oh..Friday the 13,th....I had not noticed.
 

Given that Bela has a small circle of cohorts, um,,two, and Pene who just discovered her gender identity in a red dress, is already in BBB's orbit that leaves BIG Mike? to be her miracle worker dermatologist?

I can't be sure, but I do not believe I have seen dermatologists with tattoos covering as much of their hide. (Wonder why)

Maybe I'm getting ahead, but could all Mike's be covered with a lab jacket or sport coat? I can't recall if he has the neck package or not. If he hasn't done hard time he should not as I understand it.

OR, Bela could make up for lost time on Horacio, and just go ahead and WHACK BBB right away before she even has to produce the dermatologist. Yeah, Friday thirteenth, think happy thoughts.

kj
 

Kirby: I don't think Emilia is going to be among the living because she's going to become a liability to Emanuel.

Did Nagging Alicia make an appearance ?
 

And when are these Beasts going to have the epiphany Andy chuckled about the other day?: "Hmmm, seems like there aren't as many at the get togethers as there were a few weeks ago. Oh Well, who's counting, where were we.?"

Susy, I'm surprised old playful Diablo hasn't reminded you what a special day today is.
 

Steve who is Alicia?
Emanuel is a mystery. It seems he is willing to risk letting someone like Emilia or Bela live against his better judgement, if he has not slept with them yet. Then, all bets are off.
 

I mean, I don't see it, but Eman is kinda lanky too, but Emi? Like bedding a stick figure.
 

I am trying to keep a very low profile today. #waitingforthe14th

Mike, the dermatologist...that would be interesting. Madame would probably try to cougar him.
 

Mike, the dermatologist , hmmmm. Quite posible.and interesting to see. And yes Susy, BBB wouldndedinitely viugar him.

Andy, nooooo, I don’t think 38 is old, but she wouldn’t be a spring chicken either. I would just expect a 38 yr old to be more conservative...or at least I was more conservative by that age. When I started teaching I would were nothing but high heels and trendy clothes, but as I got older, my heels got lower and clothes were bought for comfort, not necessarily to provoke interest.
 

Haha! That’s what I get for trying to type on my phone with old reading glasses. That should be ...Susy, BBB would definitely cougar him.
 

Alicia was Maria's Mommy.
 

Hahaha, loved that scene where Bella said she doesn't drink coffee and that it's another one of her secrets for her youthful appearance. BBB, salivating to learn all her secrets, quickly plunked down her delicious cup of coffee. Point - Bella. She's enjoying herself making the Mydamn suffer the little things. I would have told her another one of my secrets was that every time the clock strikes 12 - both noon and midnight - I hop up and down on one foot while covering my ears, spinning like a top, and yodeling at the top of my voice. Wouldn't doubt her (BBB) trying to do that, too! Lol
 

Ms Chick very good detailed recap.

Why in the world of the yellow brick road is eman interested in that bony
Drunk as a skunk emi? Is he lookin to change her into his queen? They would have skinny children. And Oh no that
Would mean the queen mum would be the
Pickle. Weird, just weird.

3B is really into herself. Is there a
Name that would describe her condition
Cuz she clearly has some kind of weird psychological problem, obsession with
Youth. For herself. She's gonna have a really off The charts creepy twisted death. Bella Better watch her back,her front& sides With this twisted sister.

If Simon don't wind up dead he could be good for pene and she for him. But
They gotta stay alive for that happy ending.
Now they gotta make up a dermatologist
For 3B to talk to. If it's mike he'll
Have to study up on his skin studies.
Are all the walls covered with photos pictures of herself? She really loves
Herself. Bella and the gang have their
Work cut out for them with this chick.

Thank you Ms Chick. Did you take a peek at El veulo de la Victoria lately
Its getting better.

 

Bela_Ep_24

We left off with Bela/Mar having lifted a set of keys as she left BBB's house.

Emi wakes up and Eman is there so she has to do some repent bawling. A very touchy, feely, understanding Eman comforts her. The only thing Eman wants is for her to let him take care of her.

Simon gets nowhere questioning Pene. Beer is not working try tequila.

Pene is helping BelaMar get ready for her little adventure. Bela notices that Pene is nervous; so she tells her that Simon asked her out, but he spent most the time asking her about her stepfather. Pene thinks that they should be very careful even though her stepfather's case was closed.

JP is at work andgets message from Bella that she is busy tonight and cannot see him. (Spa?, Gym?, Baby shower?) Nopis breaking and entering and assault maybe

Eman still listening to a repentant Emi. She does not ask why her roommates are a broom and a mop?
Emi called her Mom and apologizes for not calling. Eman tells Emi that he had already told JP that she was working all night. Emi doesn't understand why Eman wants to help her. He wants her to forget what happened last night. It was an error on his part. Emi goes along with it and says that nothing happened last night…she doesn't know what he's talking about. Eman assumes that she's going to continue working with him.

P&M in the car outside BBB's house as BelaMar readies to go in. SHE DOES NOT HAVE HER PHONE ON VIBRATE?

Ruh Roh, Omar/Manho walks into something he can't even crawl away from.
Bela, Mike, and Pene are at home licking their wounds, but Bela got 2 microphones installed and they listen as BBB interrogates Omar/ManHo who thankfully did not recognize Bela. BBB is getting after Omar because she didn't tell her that he had lost the keys. He mentions that the woman beat him up. BBB hopes that it's not the same idiot that got to Castor. If it is, they're doomed.

Emi is finally back home and JP asks if she isn’t going in to work, but she is sleeping off four hangovers and sends him out.

So JP goes to see Bela at Comeback to do a little sparing smooching…and Hopping. He tells her the place sure is dusty to be actually in business. Bela says it is her escape place for when she needs to let off steam, mostly. To have no experience, Bela seems to have gotten the hang of this sex thing quickly enough. Have she and Pene been watching porn?

Simon comes to see Pene as Mike looks on. Simon wants Pene to go with him as he has something to show her.

Emi is back at work in a tiny red dress sitting in Eman's chair. Emi tells Eman not to get his hopes up she's only going to return to work if he gives her vacation time. Eman agrees plus he's going to give her a bonus. He's only giving her three days vacation on the condition that he accompany her. Oh Boy

JP and Bel are finishing up in the ring…sweet talking and she's wearing his shirt.
Mike and Pene applaud...just kidding.
 

Two

Magno Motors and BBB is ragging on new girl, looking for Maritza and Julieta, aka Pene. BBB talks to Omar and tells him to call in Israel. She tells Omar to tell Israel that she wants to talk to him about the settlement with the ex-employees, but her real reason is to find out what they are up to.

Simon and Pene visit her step-onFather's grave and she wants to know why he brought her there. Simon thinks it strange that Pedro is buried in CDMX rather than Puebla and that he committed suicide. Pene finally tells Simon about the molestation as a kid. As they walk along by a playground Pene tells Simon that those kids are orphans. They have no one in the world to look out for them. Once they are of age they are let go without support or help. When she left Mexico, she lived in a place like that outside of her country. She learned that she had to defend herself because she was all alone.

Bela takes JP to meet Maria's parents Rodrigo and Alicia. When she tells them who he is Alicia has a cow and in the process blows a head gasket plus throws JP OUT of her house

Bela tries to explain that JP is different, he is a good guy, Alicia is not convinced. That sweeet visit turned to snake shit in a flash. Like the Hookup made in Hell.

Pene and Simon still walking and talking. Pene opens up about living in an orphanage and learning that she herself is the only one who can defend her.

BBB is having a standup staff meeting at MangoMotor. Omar tells her that Israel has a lawyer and they are suing her.

Em&Em still negotiating. She has something he wants, it seems, and he has something she wants, and had, but gave back to the casino. Eman wants to take her on a mini vaca for a few days to a house out of town....but they will have separate rooms. (Only one room has a bed though?)

JP is at work thinking of what Alicia said. Goes in to talk to Ric, tells Ric he is in Luuurve with Bela. Although Ric had told him to stay away from her. JP says it is personal.

Omar/ManHo attacks BelaMar as she finally shows up at work, thinking she was the one in the house, and she is perfectly defenseless, (smart, very smart) and he realizes it was not her. Goes straight to BBB and tells her that Maritza and the woman who beat him up are not the same person. Afterwards, BBB rags on Maritza for being late and tells her that MMotor has to be a priority and fires her.

Mike listens as Leonor is at home alone after a shower mimicking BBB, talking to that huge pic of BBB and rubbing the face. Mike hears her say they are sisters.

Simon is sorry to have brought up bad memories for Pene. He doesn't understand how some people can do that to children. They are working to change things and bring justice. Pene thinks that only sounds good. Does she like him?

Eman and Emi on their fripping honeymoon? out in the WOODS? Is she nuts or still drunk? Still same red dress.

Simon apologizes to Penny. He wants to spend more time with her so they can get to know each other. Now that he knows her better and that she shared her story, he is glad that that man is dead. Penny then tells him that he was right…Pedro did not commit suicide.
 

Last tidbit

BelaMar talks to BBB and tells her she spent hours trying to get her an appointment with the dermatologist and she has one in three months. She gets her job back; who would have thunk it? But BBB wants the appointment much sooner.

 

Thank you Kirby nice interpretation. Some One farther up said they like it that The good guys are smart. ITA, I hate when the good guys are made to be dumb

"Could it be I'm fallin in love, with
Ya eeemi?" Is he fallin with emi? If he Wasn't a crook that would be a good thing. But this ain't that kind of
A show. She's a skinny drunk and he's
A cold blooded killer. Movin right along. He might really have feelings for this wafe.


You know that sounds believable, the triple B accidently on Purpose messin
Up her beautiful sister's face so she
Won't be more prettier than her. Tells
Bella no doctor can help her sister.
Twisted sister made sure she can't be
Repaired. Maybe she'll have a happy ending. The sister not 3B.
This is gonna be interesting to see how this ending of triple B comes about. This woman is a piece of work herself.
When I saw Bella bring jp to see alica
And rodrigo I knew that would be a bad idea.
Even tho he had nothing to do with her
Death, he has the DNA of the one that
Brought it about. Even tho she was Caladerale damage,still bad idea bela.
Papa understands but it's tearing at
Mom's heartstrings something awful.

Enjoyed the comments patio peeps.
As with the recap. Thanks Kirby. Y'all
Stay cool in this heat. Happy weekend
Y'all. And be careful swimming in the ocean, we got shark attack in these waters up here. They're ok they just got their feet nibbled on. But it closed the beach.
 

Thanks, Kirby.

Fun episode.

So, JP finally realizes the gym may be a front.

I could not believe Bela and the ringing phone either.

The whole “Madame” venture seems to just get more and more complicated.
 

Good morning Jarifa and the early morning crowd. Can't say I'm really following all the action, but enjoy checking in with my favorite folks. Liked this:


JP is at work andgets message from Bella that she is busy tonight and cannot see him. (Spa?, Gym?, Baby shower?)

And especially liked this:

...does not ask why her roommates are a broom and a mop.

Oh yeah, our Emi is not the brightest bulb. Wishing everybody a hot steamy Saturday. Weather-wise or otherwise. Here in Ohio, we're talkin' Weather, baby!
 

What a relief that we made it through the thirteenth. Good Morning.

In the boxing ring Bela? really? It is all dusty up there isn't it? Well where there is luuurve..............
For a girl who was a virgin until two days ago, you sure know the ropes NOW !
#fastlearner

Are they trying to transform Emanuel into a devil who changes his ways? Can't figure him out either, but wouldn't trust him with MY (fake) daughter. But then I taught her to be like Bela.
 

Kirby: Penelope finally all but said her Rapist StepDaddy didn't off himself.


 

Nope, Bella and JP are not germaphobes. Thank goodness the gym has no customers, so at least the sweat on the boxing ring floor was only their own, and Mike's and Pene's. Ick. #sonotromantic

Eman had a thing with under-aged Maria, the daughter of a housekeeper who was sweet and pretty but not an intellectual giant. So I'm going to guess he's into young thangs because that assures him the lead and control in the relationship. The why behind Eman is the biggest mystery to me. Why does he care about Bella? What does he get out of the Beast/Interpol dual life? I suppose he has wealth, but I haven't seen it.
 

Niecie, yeah, I just have to think there is more to the story about Eman than an almost pedophile. Well, given the age of Maria, I suppose it qualifies. Emi is just barely old enough to be legal,we think, but that doesn't diminish the yuck factor.

What I wonder is are they going to have the 'most evil beast' and ring leader, semi retire to just go after young girls.?
IE: he should have been at the Beastie Bash dearly deported Horacio took Atenae to. But I believe he had announced earlier that he would no longer be attending their little get togethers.

If he has as much money as the other beasts, sadly, he can just buy all he wants. Crimminy, one of the younger male beasts is into human trafficking and BBB may not sell him one, I think her business is rental only.

Are we going to be led to feel sorry for the lonely guy at the top and be expected to kinda maybe sort of forgive him?
It aint happening in Florida is it NiNa?
 

What I wouldn't give to soar like those eagles. The wing span is mind blowing as is the azure blue sky.

Terrific recap Kirby. "repent bawling" and "has a cow and in the process blows a head gasket" were among favorites.

Em's respective feelings toward Bella and Emi are beyond me Niecie. Is there a soul in that evil body? Regarless, he is irredeemable because he killed Maria. And his/their unborn child. "Eman had a thing with under-aged Maria, the daughter of a housekeeper who was sweet and pretty but not an intellectual giant. So I'm going to guess he's into young thangs because that assures him the lead and control in the relationship" seems to answer the question unequivocally. Very well said,

Simon seemed to soften when Pene admitted her truth. I was surprised to read that "Now that he knows her better and that she shared her story, he is glad that that man is dead". Not being sorry the man is dead but is one thing but will he feel compelled to follow up after Pene asserted he didn't kill himself?

"Tells Bella no doctor can help her sister. Twisted sister made sure she can't be
Repaired". Oh Nina, that was so chilling! Twisted sister was perfect.

Jarifa, the ringing phone was a beanie moment. Rookie mistake.

Hot here Judy but enjoying the summer and soaking in every moment.

Looking forward to hearing from Rgv Chick.

Thanks for making a sunny day better Kirby.

Diana

 

Diana: 2 Beasts down, 6 more to go!
 

Good afternoon everybody and Happy Bastille Day. Let's eat some cake.

Kirby, thank you for a splendid recap, fun to read!

"Penny then tells him that he was right…Pedro did not commit suicide." It may take me quite a while to figure out how this was a good idea.

Eman better be careful with Emi. If she winds up dead JP and Bela could take turns finishing him off over, say, a week.

Nina, at least those swimmers still have their feet. Don't go swimming for a while.

:-)

Greetings, Everyone! HOt start to the day in the RGV. My visitor came by last nigHt, but wasn't too impressed with the treat I had for him...just gotta keep trying ->->->->->->->->->

Nina, I just luv the want your mind works! "Tells Bella no doctor can help her sister. Twisted sister made sure she can't be Repaired. Maybe she'll have a happy ending." What I'm hopeoing is that BBB is just telling Leonor that she can;t be repaired, but that she can be. Maybe Bella will help her find someone who can remediate whatever BBB has done.

Jarifa, "I could not believe Bela and the ringing phone" That was quite ridiculous, wasn't it? But I guess they had to have a reason for Omar to be alerted.

Kirby and Niecie, yeah, the boxing "match" while quite sexy was quite ickky. Did they clean up afterwards...yuckkk or will Mike find residue...double yuckkk!! Brings to mind, though, JP made a good point that it was probably a front. Of course we know it is, but you would think the Bella team would be wise enough to have at least a few clients to make it look legit.

Emi is just plain stooopid and immature. Surely, she won't use the "yor cornfuzed" line again, will she?

Eman is an enigma. He does seem to choose young thangs as Niecie already pointed out. I think Freud would go to town with this one..."the subject has a conflicted personality and is experiencing the Oedipus complex. His fixation on younger girls comes from a desire to control the individuals sexually while satisfying his unfulfilled paternal and sexual instinct...blah, blah, blah"

I was really surprised that Pene admitted that Pedro didn't commit suicide. How will she get out of that one? Will she recant and say that it was just a way of expressing that she wishes it hadn't been a suicide?" Simon is relentless in trying to prove that Bella is involved in all these deaths. Will his feelings for Pene deter him?
 

NiNa, I really do "Want" your mind to keep working, and I luurve the WAY it works :-) Oh and yes...still watching "Vuelo."
 

Ah, so there are three of us watching Vuelo? Nina, Rgv Chick and I? I forgot to record the Friday show but clearly, I have to stick with the tame ones. Bella y Bestias and la Piloto are going to be too rough for me.
 

I think the most impressive thing last night was how Esmeralda's character's character, the delicate little 38 y old flower Maritza stayed in character and was helpless and terrified when ManHo grabbed her, thus assuring him that she was not the Tasmanian Devil he had the misfortune to become acquainted with the night before.

Just really, really clever and smart and thinking about two levels above everyone else in her orbit.
Kind of like the idea of being waaay young looking for her age to suck in BBB.
Smart is so much more entertaining than dumber than a box of rocks?

I thought Pene's admission to Simonize that Pedro didn't commit suicide was an indication that those two had the start of something really going, and that was her way to let him know that she trusts him.


RGV, I'm sure you have tried several different chickens. :-)
When I have just waxed my car, the neighbor's cat will walk three miles to find a mud puddle and then come stomp all over my car. Just a thought.
 

NudyB do not go near a TV when El Chapo is on. We don't want to lose you. :-)
It is disgusting even to me. What makes it worse, is it closely parallels what is happening in real life.
 

Happy Saturday, all. Sunny and gorgeous here. #Ilovesummer🌞🌞🌞👙👡🍹🍦

Thank you , kirby, for another snappy recap.

Wow, Madame is really super anxious to meet that dermatologist. #skindeepemergency

JP is cute and a convincing kisser...but for me ...still meh.

Eman is a mystery. Dirty middle-aged man? Who knows what lurks in the heart of man? #marsvenus


 

OT- Kirby, I’m trying different things to attract the visitor, but still avoiding using a live chicken. I’m getting closer as it actually entered the trap last night...ohhh if only it had triggered that trap door!

JudyB, if you google “El Parcero” you’ll find a blog run by Mauricio; I believe he used to be a recapper here on Caray. He is writing daily recaps for Vuelo.
 

Chickie...hub suggested putting a juicy steak into that trap.



 

I did check it out Rgv Chick. But I actually don't need recaps. I just read them to appreciate our CarayCaray writers. Since Mauricio has gone out on his own, I'm like "whatever".

Oooh no, Kirby, no way am I watching el Chapo. Not even the previews! Hispanic TV, at least at night, is becoming too wild for this wuss.
 

Judy...I , too, am not watching El Chapo . ..on screen real evil . I need something positive.

#friday13survivor
 

Exactly. What could be more positive than watching Fernando Colunga changing his shirt in Alborada. What a day brightener.

#missingmiguapo
 

Ahhh..Don Luis...the dark, flowing locks...the boots...the frilly shirts
 

The chest, the shoulders! Forget the dang shirt!
NudyB on her iPad
 

Nudy...I noticed that in Alborada, Don Luis was always wounded in the shoulder or torso... Necessitating the removal of said frilly shirt 👕. I have a fond and enduring memory of the wounded, bedridden Don shirtless and bandaged leaning toward and grunting as he kissed the adorable Hippolita.#lovehurts #sharingthefantasy #,you'rewelcome
 

That's right kirby, we does not need
Eman in Florida with Im changing to be
To A good guy. Cuz if emi gets knocked up And she sees something she should not have he'd take her out too,baby be damned.
Kirby we got sharks up here he come here with that crap we'll feed him to jaws Cousins.
 

Kirby I wish you were watchin El veulo
I can just imagine the snarky funny stuff you'd say about gloria when she comes on the scene with those super thick eyebrows. But your recapping here now and Your snark is forever cracking me up.
 

Thank you, Kirby.

I was also thinking "smart, quick thinking, Bela" when she allowed herself to be choked by Omar.

Bela's ninja outfit has some strange features: Really low neckline - no practical purpose. High heel boots - uncomfortable to run, making noise. I would choose soft running shoes instead. And the cellphone ringing in the middle of the mission? Shouldn't she have a spy checklist? Security Cameras - OFF, Face mask - ON, Cellphone - SILENT.

JP's and Bela's sparring session. We know that the ring is covered by security cameras. Mike will find entertaining videos when he goes to review them.

I think Emilia wants to use Eman's interest to get something out of him. To begin with, days off and a bonus. But she doesn't know who she is dealing with. This is not her former boyfriend Felipe.
 

OMGosh, Lucio, I had forgotten about the security cameras in the gym! Apparently so did Bella. Mike will certainly be amused.

And you're probably right about Emi too. Talk about being devoured by a shark...she has no clue who she's dealing with...her father's murderer to begin with...
 

Lucio: Good One.

"Psssstt, Hey Pene, come over here, get a load of THIS!"

"OMG, why didn't she just bring him here, she has her own room? Crap ! Turn it off."

"OK"

"WAIT...Gimme that..NOT YET"

"What's wrong with you ? ? ?"
 

It looks like when El Chapo ends next week, they're going to put on 2 hours of Bella to finish out the week. I know it's gotta suck since Kirby only has an hour every day, but at least it's just for the short term.
 

Well, it’s not the first time Looney pulls the 2 hr crap on us. Kirby AND I will do our best to cover both hours; it may take us a bit longer but we’ll get it done. And this patio is so supportive that they will fill in anything we might miss.
 

Right? It's just practice for when La Piloto 2 starts.
 

Ugh, I'm even confusing myself with "next" week. El Chapo ends 7/25. On 7/26, 7/27 there are two episodes of Bella a night. On Sunday 7/29 La Piloto 2 premieres. On Monday 7/30 La Piloto takes El Chapo's spot.
 

Victoria, I just noticed your question about the red string/bracelet that the actors often wear. According to what I found out, it’s a symbol of good luck and protection against bad vibes.
 

It's so hot in FloriDuh, the Eagles are going swimming.

OK Bela if you are reading this, here is an idea. :-)
Set BBB up with your miracle worker dermatologist. He/she has been using an experimental new technique on you which in essence, Stops The Clock. You have aged very little, it is easy to see, in ten years or so that you have been with this Doctor. Your face, your legs, everything, is to DIE for.

It involves a couple of (saline solution) injections, and a pill or two. The Doctor gives you the injections followed by YOU taking the pills a few days later. Harmless injections---nobody actually did anything bad......poison pills--suicide? Ha. And the next time you and JP are "Boxing", you will not have even lied to him. Everybody's Hoppy.

Happy Sunday Patty OH!
 

Good Sunday!!

Kirby, nice scenario, but could the injections be of some type of acid?? OUCH!!!

I'm avoiding chores; so I came up with a list of "Beanie" moments. If you all think of any others, let me know so I can add to my list...

IT JUST SO HAPPENED...
1. JP tunes in to the meeting when they are discussing the hit on Enrique.
2. Eman intercepted JP’s call to warn Enrique that he is in danger.
3. Bella’s mom forgot her credit card; so Bella went looking for it and missed the kidnapping party.
4. JP trusts/likes Bella enough to give her the video.
5. JP stopped recording the meeting right before Eman responded to Armando.
6. Bella becomes friends with the bully who slashed her mattress.
7. JP receives a pic of Bella at the Mexican airport.
8. JP quickly snaps off the tie strap—something he couldn’t do even while Felipe was bleeding to death.
9. The maid knows where the entrance to Castor’s hidden tunnel is.
10. Bella runs into the exact room where she hid her gun.
11. Bella is alone when Tadpole/Castor Jr. sneaks in.
12. Mike finds Pene and takes her to the hospital.
13. Andres and Tobias don’t recognize Bella in her disguise as Atanea.
14. Bella knows the combination to Hor’s safe.
15. Mauricio interrupts and wakes up Hor just as Bella is about to enter and kill him.
16. Mike finds the four goons that led the mob; and Pene finds the bus driver.
17. Pene finds evidence where the bodies of the students and Mau were burned.
18. Several of Hor’s cohorts/pawns sing like birds to JP and Simon.
19. BBB fires all the MMotor’s peeps just as Mike walks in to check out the place.



 

I just thought of another one--Simon is suspicious of a suicide in Puebla that happened 5 days after Bella and her team arrived in Mexico.
 

Phooie...so it should have been named "Good People Get Lucky Too"?
WHAT did you say to that poor sad kitty?
 

Good afternoon patio,

Rgv Chick, your eye misses nothing. A thoughtful and complete list. Your analytical skills are superb.

The only thing I might add is Bella forgetting to turn her phone off when entering Madame's. But, that said, it was a human mistake and understandable.

Kirby, I like your scenarios for Madame's further "enhancements" and I'm in favor of the acid Rgv Chick. A fitting and deserving end.

Rgv Chick, I didn't see Victoria's question but I also wondered about the bracelets. Thank you.

I still want to know Em's true feelings and intentions toward Emi and Bella...

BBB is so terrible, I almost shudder to think what other horrendous secrets the other beasts are hiding.

I'm a bit surprised Pene may be pairing up with Simon. A good guy but definitely not Mike.

Eagles are intelligent. I feel like submerging myself in water due to the heat here as well.

Rgv Chick and Kirby, I so appreciate your dedication and hard work on this...you certainly are a dynamic duo.

Diana
 

I was thinking how would Simon be concerned about a suicide in Puebla, but looking at a map, it is just outside CDMX.

There are a slew of others, most of which we patio dwellers have mentioned. Mike and Pene sitting in a $2 car outside a million dollar mansion at night with heavy security oblivious.

say to that poor sad kitty?" 'You spray the sofa again and you are bait"?



 

Thanks, Diana. Your support and kind words, as well as those of the rest of the patio, is like adrenaline to me :-)

Kirby, I was just taking a bit longer with the kitty food and she wasn’t In the mood for pictures.
 

Oh my, that is a very pensive kitty Rgv Chick. Maybe she was trying to help you think of all the "Beanie" moments. And I like your fierce eagle Kirby. No nonsense. My way or the Highway.

Can't handle the telenovela but love the photos, Patio. And the comments. (And I'm also avoiding chores. Just so bored with vacuuming, dusting and cooking. Need to get into another line of work!
 

Thanks Diana. It is easier than it probably looks when you are doing something you enjoy to begin with, for and with people you truly adore.

Our patio is something not seen every day. Like how JudyB stops by even when she can't stomach the show.

I think Mr. Eagle may actually have been putting in his order for a fish sandwich in the wade through.
 

My my, Judy, you and I were writing at the same time.

See?
 

Hello there.

I decided to drop in on The patio while watching a Downton Abbey marathon on PBS. It is like an English telenovela.

I am so comforted to see that Chickie and Judy, my role models, are also avoiding chores. I feel better about my laziness now. #sisterhood

We had a brief storm and rain this a.m. , but the sun is shining now.

Happy Sunday , all!
 

Is that a kabala bracelet? Madonna wears one.
 

Kabbala Bracelet?? It just might be, Susy! Here is Victoria's question

Blogger Victoria Deane Gómez-Wright said...
Totally off topic

Would anyone younger or more up to date than I am clue me in on why so many novela actors wear a red string bracelet and what does it signify??

I see them a great deal.

Thursday, July 12, 2018 at 9:45:00 PM EDT
 

Hello patio. I hope yall are cool. Nice cold Watermelon would be good about now. But the heat just drains your strength. I'll get it later.

Speaking of eagles, I was watchin blue
Planet 2, those eagles are spot on when they dive for fish and they don't
Miss. And there are some that will take other birds in Flight. That is brutal, but they gotta eat too. Just
Wish they didn't have to eat other birds that's out lookin for food too.

Why didnt they put Elchapo ontelemundo
?I have no interest what so ever in a
Doper mob show. It's way to hot for all that "I'll kill you cuz you stole
My dope, or wouldn't take my dope and sell it" crap.
LOVE your recaps Kirby & Rgv Chick. U
Guys work magic. Thank you much. Y'all
Stay cool patio.
 

Wow! I'm always learning things here. I had never heard of a kabala bracelet, but Wikipedia has an article. Thanks, Susanlynn.

Chickie, thanks for the beanie moment list. But I'm sure I said to myself "Oh, please!" a lot more than 19 times. I'll try to remember what the extra beanie moments were, if I can get my brain to function. Not always easy.

:-)

:-)

andy
 

Rgv Chick, your kitty is one of the sweetest I've ever seen. And I can completely understand the need for nourishment trumps need for affection. My fur daughter's first love is food. First and foremost!

Ahh Susanlynn. Thank you for noting the kabala bracelet. I loved Downton Abbey and am sad there will be no others...

Nina, "I have no interest what so ever in a Doper mob show". Mirrors my feelings exactly! :)

Andy, I have no idea how Rgv Chick came up with that list. I could have come up with but a few.

Judy, sometimes it gets to the point that cleaning can take up every spare minute, doesn't it?? For Christmas, I'm going to have my house cleaned. Merry Christmas. To me.

Kirby, I was out doing errands and found myself kind of wishing for a fish sandwich myself :) But McD's was the only close option so I passed. Maybe cold tuna - not my fav but it will do.

Diana
 

And a word about this patio...

I joined mi amigas Judy and Susanlynn 10 years ago here.

We've laughed, commiserated and supported each other through the years.

And the rest of our little "family" that has assembled here is special. And wonderful.

I cherish the camaraderie and the friendships.

Diana
 

Susanlynn: I see that Dish Network & Univision still have NOT resolved their differences in negotiations.
 

RgvChick, love the list of BEANIE moments. A nice diversion for a tedious day ! : )
 

Steve one word solution: Antenna
 

RGV that is a cute little kitty.I was
Lookin at your photos, and girl that
Lion lookin cat looks dangerous. And hungry. And you have a nice piece of real estate there. And the rain loves it, you almost need a boat. That cat looks like those big cats on national
Geographic. I hope he/she don't get
Cocky and try to come out in the day
Time when You or your babies or out. You Could carry your shotguns around with you.

 

I just wanted to drop in and give thanks to Kirby and Rgv Chick for the outstanding recaps. I've been "Time Banditing" but have finally caught up.

Esmeralda is so fun to watch. I love her capability and smarts. I also hope M&P get more to do.

My personal beenie includes the understanding that this TN exists in a fairy land of ridiculous coincidences, ability to project a masking glamour (not being recognized) and hidden wealth and resources. I strap it on and enjoy the show!

I noticed the bracelet too, seems mostly men. but that might be where my focus lies...

What does BBB stand for? I missed the first reference.

Thanks again
Rena
 

Rena. Thanks for coming back
Around the first of the show Andy panted something about Big Bad Blonde and it stuck like Super Glue.
Andy is good at that.
Now since we have gotten to hate her more thoroughly, we have had a few new candidate names spring up:
From a few days ago:

BBB...
#bigbadblonde
#bitchbitchbitch
#badbitchybeast

BadBitchyBeast got a lot of votes. It isn't hard to figure who she is, Her actual name is Cristina I believe. As there are only two female beasts I can always remove any doubt and just call them by hair color.

Since RGV and Victoria brought it up, I can not stop myself from examining every human on Spanish TV now to try and find red string bracelets. On Reto 4 Extremo or something like that over the weekend, the red string was well represented. AND one of the contestants wore one on the RIGHT Ankle. So we are sure that one is going to hell as the left wrist is the place. Or maybe there is some geometry thing I am not aware of


:-)
kj


 

Hi, Rena! And a very welcome back from me too! I will add your personal beanie to the list...good one and well stated!

Ya know, We could always increase the "Bs" tp BBBBB--Big Bad Blonde Bitchy Beast...HA!

Nina, not to worry...the big cat has never shown up during the day...and when I do go out to check around during the night, I do take my shotgun :-)


 

I have been thinking. Simon seems bound and determined to connect Bela to Castor, Horacio and whoever else's deaths, while JP appears more concerned right now with "THAT came from Victoria's Secret?"

Are we going to see these two but heads over Bela later on, with Simon trying to bring her to 'justice' and JP protecting her?

BBBBBB....hmmm we may not have time to make her a name that long if Bela has her way.
BigBadBitchBeatByBela?
It seems B is a fun letter.
 

Fresh Bird.
 

If you Google ",red string bracelet meaning" , it says that bit is a talisman against the evil eye! Hmmm.....maybe I should check my sewing basket. We could all use some protection from evil.😈
 

Kirby Those names are perfect for her. But I Think I'd get tongue tied. And have a time tryin to remember those B words.
I like 3B or triple B, a lot less oxygen needed. Stay safe Ms Chick.
 

Susy but remember to tie seven knots in it or it is not as effective.

Like Bayer versus Great Value aspirin.
 

From a site called 'HoneyGood.com':

IN ORDER TO BE BLESSED AND PROTECTED BY THE RED STRING YOU HAVE TO GIVE OF YOUR SELF, LIKE RACHEL.

My string is made from thin crimson wool thread and is worn as a bracelet on my left wrist with seven tiny knots. Seven is a lucky number in the Bible. It can never be removed. It falls off on its own accord.
