Mi Marido Tiene Más Familia, Capítulo 20, Tuesday October 9, 2018; From Truth to Healing


Frida, David, and the Lopez twins are doing homework together and arguing. Frida talks about how she misses her mother. The homework is about mothers and fathers who work. Frida also mentions how her mother is on tour with Xavi. Pancho is listening outside as the twins start to say that they miss their mother and he comes in and tries to comfort them.

Gabe and Dani are arguing again. She tells him she doesn’t want to be his mother telling him what to do all the time. She realizes it was hurtful and she apologizes. Gabe goes out to get some air. After Gabe leaves she throws down a tool which knocks over some wood that  very painfully lands on her foot.

Susana is at Crisanta’s shop admiring her mother’s work and complimenting her on the anchiquini. Crisanta talks about the beach and how Canuto fell in love with her when she was much thinner and had a small waist. Susana assures her it was her personality as well and that her father loves Crisanta. She goes on and on about what a wonderful husband Canuto is. Susana looks wistful and her mother asks her what is wrong. Susana says “nothing” and suggests they go for some ice cream.

Robert, Julieta, and Blanca sit in the bakery wondering what is going on. Robert is especially anxious about the outcome of the truth being told to his father and uncles. Julieta asks Blanca if Eugenio knows that she knew the truth before he did. Blanca says “no, I can’t even imagine how he will react to that.”  They are interrupted by Catalina prancing in with her sage and incense proudly proclaiming that the building now has ‘good vibrations’.  She makes some sort of reference to their competition as grandmothers. Blanca tells her pretty much to let the games begin. They both try to get David to choose who he loves more. But David says he loves both. Eugenio walks in feeling very emotional and hugs Robert, crying.

Robert tells him that he knows how hard it is to process all this. Robert tells him to be strong for everyone. Blanca blurts out that she and Robert knew about this.

Axel gives Canuto a diabetic kit to keep with him all the time and also tells him that he needs to test his glucose daily. Axel also advises his grandfather to take better care of himself or else he may die. But Canuto is of the opinion that after all that is going on, maybe he should not be shown mercy but instead be punished for his sins. He starts thinking he might be better off dead. But Axel tells him death is not the answer and that his grandfather is not a coward.

Susana and Crisanta talk and she tells her mom how proud of her she is. She is also very grateful to them for coming to Oaxaca with her. They hug. Susana sees Imelda across the street and asks. “Who is that woman?” Crisanta says, “The woman that I hate more than anyone on earth.” Susana wants to know if Crisanta ever knew her in the past, but no.

Axel walks Canuto out to the hall but Daniela comes hobbling out on her hurt foot. He examines Daniela’s foot and doesn’t think it is broken, only an X-ray will tell. His phone rings and it’s Clarisa who wants to know if his grandfather is alright. Axel says he is, but right now he is taking care of Daniela. “What?” says Clarisa. “You mean our Daniela Córsega?” Axel says, “Yes, her. I’ll call you later.” Axel then tries to advise Daniela on her marriage and tells her he knows things aren’t working out very well. She counters that she and Gabe love each other and that he is wrong. Meanwhile, Gabe is over at “Dabriel” reminiscing about the time they got the place together. Then Clarisa comes running in and tells him that he needs to get to the hospital right quick because Daniela is there with Axel as something is wrong. Clarisa is a little miffed that Gabe didn’t even thank her.

Robert, Blanca, and Eugenio continue their conversation with Robert admitting that Imelda had told them the “secret” but would not allow them to say anything until she was ready. Neither of them liked being quiet about the whole thing. They wait for his reaction and Eugenio finally says, “Thank you. Thank you for wanting to protect me.” Then Blanca thinks about her bad reaction when the family kept some truth from her regarding Juan Pablo’s kidnapping by Ana. Eugenio tells her that in a marriage one spouse has to put themselves in the shoes of the other in order to understand them. He goes on how he feels for his own mother and thinks about how she must have felt when his father betrayed her.

Polita walks in later not knowing what is going on. Eugenio gives her the news: His father Canuto is alive.

Imelda is with Audi telling him how badly she feels about the pain she caused her sons to have. Audi tells her that he remembers very little about his father and that his older brother remembers more. Audi is just trying to process this but is not judging his mother and understand that marriage is supposed to be forever. He understands that what happened must have been the biggest hurt of her life.

Axel goes on and on with his “advice for couples” [Funny, he isn’t even married nor has he ever had a long term relationship. Who is he to be giving out such “wisdom?”] Daniela thinks of the love she feels for Gabe and reminisces about their wedding and how happy she was. She sits there listening to Axel while she remembers the fight she had with Gabe earlier. He moves in just a little too close for comfort, while out in the hallway, Gabe arrives asking where to find Axel’s office. Because he is too close to her, Dani kicks him away from her and he hits the door. Then Gabe arrives opening the door and seeing that there seems to be a problem. A little argument ensues and an orderly arrives to take Dani to X-ray.

Gabe and Axel start arguing and Axel tells Gabe that if he doesn’t grow up and mature, he will lose Daniela.

Julieta and Catalina are talking outside on the street and Catalina is lamenting about her house and wants to borrow money from Julieta to fix it. But Julieta is like, “No can do. We have our own house to make payments on.” Robert shows up and tells Julieta he has to go over to the foundation to take care of some business. Julieta is summoned by Pili letting her know she needs to go back to the office. She lets Catalina know she will be watching this “grandmother competition.”

Audi, still with Imelda, listens to her tell her story that she never ever expected that he would come back. She said she was selfish and did not want to tell the truth, most of all, to her sons. She admits that she committed a very big mistake.

At Cklass, Susana walks in but seems very distracted. Casandra is trying to tell her that the employee dinner is planned. She doesn’t hear and only asks about Julieta, whom is on her way.

Canuto walks into Imelda’s office and she says. “What are YOU doing here?” He says, “I know you told our sons the truth. I’m here to say that I admire you for it. I admire you very much for it. You and our sons were the best I had ever had in my life. And now, I’m not going to relax until you forgive me. I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve never even thought about how much I hurt you. I should have thought about the commitment I made to you when we got married and how I failed you. I promised to love and respect you and I didn’t follow through with it.  You were a great woman, the best. I know that I was weak and I let things fall apart when you loved me. I should have been the one to come and tell you that I was back here and ask your forgiveness. Please forgive me.” He lovingly takes her hand in his and Imelda’s eyes are filled with tears. Then he walks away and out of the shop with his song playing in the background.

But Cristanta catches him and wants to know what the heck he is doing there! But he comes up with the excuse that he was just there to check out her competition. She’s happy and says, “What a good husband you are!” She asks if her merchandise is better, to which he says, “Of course, yours is always better.”

At the bakery, Catalina comes walking in with David and Blanquita. Blanca scolds her for giving David a popsicle that has too much sugar. They then fight over David.

Julieta is at the office watching the “show” from her tablet.  Casandra tells her that when Susana walked in, she was acting weird, kind of like a zombie. But Julieta just goes on and on about her mother and her mother in law. Phone rings and Casandra answers. She says, “The monster wants to talk to you.”

Susana lays on her office couch and lies down to listen to a message from Pancho. She smiles.

Back at the hospital, Gabe thinks about all that has been said. When Daniela comes back from her X-rays, he tells her that he is resigning from Dabriel. Later they go out and talk and he says he has decided to do something else. Dani tells him he is smart and good with people, he will do well. They realize that working together all this time has contributed to their problems, as sometimes being together too much is bad for a married couple. He tells Dani how wonderful and talented she truly is!

Robert calls his missionary doctor friend in Africa who is also Seb’s and Axel’s father (can’t remember his name, help me out here.) Robert relates to him that the foundation is in dire straights and needs help.

In Susana’s office, she tells Julieta how she hates to mix the personal life with the professional life. Then she gets down to business and says, “My father’s name is Canuto Córsega and he told me he has another family. Now when all this came down with your brother, you told me that what I did could be affecting my own family. What did you mean when you said that?” Julieta answers her saying, “You are my husband’s aunt.” Susana then says, “And what are you to me?” To which Julieta responds, “I’m your niece (in law)”

Thank you, Cynthia. I loved your excellent recap and your choice of screen caps. Sebas’ dad’s name is Dr. Vicente Legorreta. I always want to spell it wrong.

You sure got that right about Axel suddenly the marriage counselor. Furthermore, who asked him? Unfortunately, he was right.

I get a kick out of Lupita trying to “elevate” Julio’s way of expressing himself. This time it was to use “enojar” rather than “chillar”.

I do not think Crisanta really believed Canuto’s weak excuse for being in Imelda’s store even though she paid lip service to it. She is too smart for that. It seems the wheels are always turning with Crisanta.

I watched this on my antenna tv and finally saw it in HD last night. I know I have said it before but HD is not the actor’s/performer’s friend. Yikes!
 

Exceptional title and recap Cynthia. The screen shot of Robert and Eugenio touched my heart. There is so much palpable love between father and son.

Favorites include “[Funny, he isn’t even married nor has he ever had a long term relationship. Who is he to be giving out such “wisdom?”]” and “They are interrupted by Catalina prancing in with her sage and incense proudly proclaiming that the building now has ‘good vibrations’”.

“Gabe and Axel start arguing and Axel tells Gabe that if he doesn’t grow up and mature, he will lose Daniela”. Begrudgingly, good advice from a not so good source.

It was fitting that Blanca recalled her hurt and anger to the news her family knew Ana was the one who abducted Robert. While I was pleased and delighted by Eugenio’s “Thank you. Thank you for wanting to protect me,” I cannot blame Blanca for feeling betrayed. Unless you are literally in that person’s place, no one should judge the reaction of those involved in the revelation of terrible truths.

I’m also glad that Eugenio realized how hurt his mother was at what was done to her.
“Audi is just trying to process this but is not judging his mother and understand that marriage is supposed to be forever”. Why I love Audi. I wonder what Tulio’s reaction is. I’ve always felt he is rather a monster as he knew what his wife had done and treated Imelda very cruelly.

Glad that Canuto finally apologized to Imelda. So now everyone knows except Crisanta. You are right Jarifa, she is pretty shrewd If she does put the pieces together before Canuto tells her, this will not go well.

Now that Gabe has resigned, I feel a bit of hope. He is a natural born salesman and should be able to parlay that into some sort of career. If Dani is smart, she should hire Clarisa to boost sales. She is sharp herself.

Cynthia, thank you so much!

Diana
 

Thanks Cynthia!

I haven't seen the episode but I'm really interested in Tulio's response to his mother's lie. He had so much anger towards her in season 1 and I can't imagine this doesn't add fuel to the fire. I hope they explore that and don't lose that connection from season 1.

I'm leaving for vacation tonight so won't be able to watch/comment on the coming episodes. Have fun everyone!
 

Diana, I like your idea about hiring Clarisa, too.
 

Have fun Carvivlie!

Nina, where are you?

Diana
 

Thank you for your recap, Cynthia. Your comment about Axel makes me think his role in this episode is that of the village priest,,, giving marriage advice in spite of being unmarried.

Gabe getting a different job might save the marriage. They married for better and for worse, but not for lunch!
 

"They married for better and for worse, but not for lunch". I got a real kick out of that doris.

I know that there are some couples who want to be together 24/7 but I think too much togetherness is well, just too much, especially here where Dani wants to work and Gabe wants to flit from one thing to the next.

Diana
 

Excellent recap, fun screenshots, thank you, Cynthia! I hope to be able to watch a little later.

Axel giving Dani advice about her marriage? This I gotta see :-)

Diana, I agree that Nina and her fun comments are sorely missed, but I hope her new job is going well.

andy
 

Diana, ITA togetherness 24/7 is way too much for them just because of what you mentioned. Personally, it would send me running and screaming no matter what the situation. : )
 

Thanks, Cynthia. Yay there's hope for Gabe & Dani. But when is some sage person going to get on Axel's case for being a grown man living under momma's roof while dissing her all the time?

Glad the truth is out. Now can get some relief.
