Amar a Muerte, 11/14/2018, Episode 12: Devil in the Red Dress, or My Favorite Mistake.

Recap by Kirby J

We left last night with LeonChi and LuciHo making small talk, like,  I’m a man, you are a woman, wanna see?  And what looked to be a lead in to ZipperGate.  Why do I keep thinking  “No honor among thieves”?  Oh I know, ‘cause there actually is none.  Hmmm…

The little convo gets kinda physical and she runs into the house in a huff. LuciHo pulls back and tells LeonChi to get his things and get out.   But once inside and by herself, she thinks of his words that she is a woman and he is a man. Johny calls and she asks what he wants. He wants to see her, but she is not in the mood..it is not a good time. He asks if something happened, ‘cause he is there to help her out . She tells him they will talk later.


Beltrino and Alicia in the hospital with Javi.    Alicia tells Beltrino that Javi will only get worse unless he gets the transplant. Beltrino tells Javi that he knows where he will get the money for his operation...he just needs to go get it...in Texas.

Guil and Rene back at work. Renata wants to know why he…why did he confide something so sensitive to her?  Guil doesn’t know and goes into his office. So hot chick grills her on how ‘IT’ is going.    He leaves and Hot Chick wants to know what happened. Rene tells her nothing important happened.

Meanwhile at Drugs, inc. business as usual.  Goon tells Alacran about beating up the informant. When Alacran asks who the reporter is, goon doesn´t know but he knows where he works...at the Leon Carvajal company.

Mateo and Eva at home.  Mateo tells Eva about what happened with Gaston. He mentions that Gaston was investigating Alacran. (Your side squeeze, Ho)

In San Antonio, Mariela tells Fabian that their son overheard what he said and is very worried…and she doesn't want the same thing to happen to him as happened to his father.

Beltrino calls his Drugs, Inc. contact, Paco, but Paco doesn’t believe he is El Chino since he knows Chino´s voice. Beltrino wants to know how Lupita and Juli are and where they are. Paco tells him all he knows is that they were seen at a market, but they got away. Beltrino then hears a shot and the shooter picks up the phone and warns Beltrino that Paco is no longer alive and the same thing will happen to all those who are close to him.

LeonChi walks up on Guil who is punching the he** out of a bag, working out.  They chat like strangers.  Leonchi tells Guil he is saying his goodbyes because he will no longr work there. Leonchi then notes that Guil was punching the bag as if he were tormented and suggests that sometimes it´s better to talk to a stranger than to a familiar person. When Leonchi asks if he was close to his father, Guil tells him he wasn´t…but he wishes he could have been closer. His father was always too busy…Guil thinks his father was a victim of his own success since he was never around.

At home, Beltrino is done with the constantly barking family dog.  He tells Amparo to go buy tequila because he wants to celebrate that his wife and child are alive. When Alicia questions what he said, he backtracks and adds that he is happy she is alive but Alicia thinks he shouldn´t be so happy since their son is seriously ill.

Lupita is getting ready for work and chats with her daughter Juli.  Juli chides her Mom for thinking they will find Chino. Lupita wonders why Juli has such a bad attitude; so Juli retorts that Chino never treated her like a daughter and he never treated Lupita like a wife.  Lupita then has a flashback to a long time ago when Lupita tells El Chino that she is preggers and he openly suspects it is not his.  The flashback is interrupted by the ‘Landlady’ witch who tells Lupita not to be bringing in men, and BTW, rent is due in two days OR, they can just make it simple and leave now. 

Camilo is at the bus stop and sees a girl with the black moth tattoo. Just then Leonchi calls very upset and tells him he was fired. Leonchi rants that he is all confused and upset as he doesn't know how to control himself; so Camilo tells him to meet him at his house. Camilo then calls out to the girl with the tattoo but she gets away on the bus.

Back at Carvajal Max runs to Leo and Tiberio apologizes for Max pushing Leonchi to the ground.

Eva gets a call from Alacran who tells her that her newspaper is investigating him. When she tells him not to be killing their informants, he tells her she´d better get them off his back or they will end up the same way.

Back at the mansion, Leonchi says goodbye to Tiberio and tells him he no longer works there...it was Luciho´s decision, In the short time he was there he saw how much Tiberio loves the family and tells him to take care of them.

Inspector fellow talks to Vale in the car as Leon watches.  Leonchi interrupts and tells him Val is too upset to be questioned. Inspector asks who he is, but Leonchi repeats that he shouldn’t be bothering Vale.  Inspector asks Val if she has any info that could help them.  She tells him that if they need to talk, it needs to be inside. Once inside, Inspector knows Val´s father was well loved, but he probably had enemies. Val wonders if he wants her to give him a list of her father´s enemies. Inspector tells her he is not enjoying this, but he needs to know if there was anyone at the company who would want to harm him; so Val tells him she knows nothing about the company. Guil arrives and asks Val if the inspector has already asked her if she thinks Eva could be a suspect.

Mateo at work talks to Gaston who is already writing up his article. Mateo warns him to be careful with what he writes.

Inspector continues to talk to Vale while Guil listens.  Inspector tells Val and Guil that his questions might be uncomfortable, but Val thinks his questions are stupid. Inspector assures her that no one in the family is a suspect. Guil tells him that he is afraid his father´s death will go unpunished.

LeonChi is at some bar, probably thinking about LuciHo and Johny and upset that he lost the job.  After he leaves, the girl with the moth tattoo comes in.


Leon is at Jo´s house ready to kill___ He watches Johny through the window and throws a metal rod through the window. Johny hears something and grabs a bottle of liquor to defend the premises.

At the mansion, Silvina asks TIberio why Luciho fired Leo, but Tiberio doesn’t know. Silvina thinks Luciho can´t do that...she has a feeling...that man is supposed to be there because this is his house.

LuciHo thinks back about firing LeonChi, then remembers the good times with Leon 1.0.  Gets all Boo Hooy eyed.  Luciho recalls Leonchi´s words about taking whoever she wants to bed.

Alicia is at the hospital with Javi. She assures him they will soon be home. Javi asks for his father so she tells him he had to go take care of some things. Man got some digging to do.

Meanwhile Beltrino visits Barbara, the fako crystal ball lady as the two have a couple of beers together.  He tells her that what is happening is unbearable. When Barbara ask about the money and if he knows where it is, Beltrino knows that the only reason Barbara is interested in him is the money. She asks about the money again, but Beltrino needs to know what is happening to him first.

LeonChi goes to HIS cemetary and cries at his grave.  Then tears turn to rage as he looks at the flowers LuciHo left there and he starts ripping them and flinging them everywhere..  The night watchman stops him with a shotgun pointed at him.  He tells him not to move or he will call the cops. Leo tells him to please just go ahead and shoot.  (Will you be surprised old timer) The man asks if he is well; and Leonchi tells him “no.”   When the man asks if he knew the man, LeonChi tells him it is his tomb. Um… well, do ya need some help getting back in?  The man gives him ten minutes to be gone from there.

Back home, LuciHo is in a somber mood in her apartment-sized closet.  Flashback of younger years when she had nothing in her closet. She sits and cries when Silvina comes in and asks what is wrong. A woman like her shouldn’t be so beaten. Luciho tells her that her problems are tiring her. Silvina tells her that she understands that she is very sensitive right now and that is probably why she fired Leonchi. Silvina tells her that in these days it is difficult to find persons like him. You know, like ‘Wanted dead or alive’?

Beltrino and fako fortune teller still slugging brewskis and Barbara tells Beltrino that she thinks what happened to him had to do with the eclipse. Beltrino thinks it’s BS and tells her he has tried seeing several people and no one has helped him…now he wants to see a shaman but she thinks the shaman is a fake (takes one to know one?) Beltrino thinks that he may not want to go back to his former life because there are men looking for him...and they want to kill him.

At Johny’s, the offical tells Johny and man in suit to that there will be two patrol cars watching the house. When official leaves, Johny would rather talk about their business. SuitMan tells him that Sanchez-Bueno is very happy with the article. When SuitMan asks if the Carvajal kids are willing to support the candidate, Johny tell s him not to worry; he has everything under control. Suitman then tells him they are ready to start the next phase of the plan…to distribute the electoral ballots in the poorer neighborhoods.

LeonChi is back at Camilo’s house and he is very upset. Leonchi shouts that life gave him a chance for what, to find out that his life, his marriage and his family were all lies? When Camilo reminds him of all the success he achieved and that Elena was a good wife and mother, Leonchi snaps back that Elena was dying of cancer and there was nothing he could do despite all the money he had. Leonchi knows that there must be an explanation for what is happening to him…he has a mission. Luciho and Johny don't know who they were messing with.

Lupita is waiting tables in some smoky bar.  Boss man tells her she’d better get with it or they will eat her alive. Boss watches as men manhandle her.  Meanwhile, Juli goes into the landlady’s apartment and uses her old Singer sewing machine.

Camilo sees that LeonChi is still drinking.  Camilo tells him to stop; he is losing control…and Camilo Camilo asks what he was doing at Johny's house. ..he is going to get himself arrested; then Camilo will have to pay the bail…and he is not a millionaire. When Leonchi tells him that he hates it when he sees Luciho and is blinded…and loses control, Camilo thinks it’s because Leonchi is still in luurve with Luciho.

Then….Doorbell. Luciho is at the door looking mucho sexy…

Boy, they always end these episodes with a bang, don't they? Thanks for the recap Kirby and the shoutout to one of my favorite songs, albeit with a blue dress. Great number.

Love your take on things and this especially: "Gets all Boo Hooy eyed." Oh yeah, that's what us chicks do, even the hard-hearted ones. Looks like Léon may get a chance for a second dance with his lovely, perfidious lady. I'm all for it. Anything to push Johny out of the picture.

Hope it's warmer in Florida than here, Kirby, although I like cold, crisp weather for a change. Ohio summers are hot and humid and suck the energy right out of you. Like your state.
 

Judy, thanks. The weather has lost it's mind everywhere. Until today, daytime highs have been in the upper 80s. But this morning a 'Cold Front' arrived, and right now it is 68 out there Brrrrr. Yeah 'Devil with a Red dress, red dress, red dress, on', was too long. I was not sure if ya'll would catch my color change or not.

LuciHo feels that same magnetism now which she felt before for Leon, and does not understand that it is because it is the same heart and soul, repackaged. The little gal is even more cornfused than before, now.

And Lemon / W Studios seem obsessed with ensuring that we see the next episode. Like ending while someone is midair after jumping from a skyscraper window. Are they going to get the "thing" on the ground inflated enough?

I am looking forward to LeonChi having an advantage only he understands, (obviously) which allows him to make Johny suicidally miserable.
 

Kirby: Did I miss anything crazy or bloodthirsty ?
 

No Steve, boring. I don't think anybody even got whacked. No bunny hopping, no shooting or stabbing. LeonChi DID wigg out on the flowers on his grave and did a 'Popiel Kitchen Magician' on them. That hot GreyLock chick Santa Muerte didn't even show up.

Just an hour of Mexicans talking waaaay too fast.

Interesting that Maxx the dog and Silvinia are onto LeonChi, in that ole Woofer recognized him first sniff, and Silvinia, the cook (the real Lady of the House) is beginning to understand that he is supposed to be there, and even saw the former Leon recently when she looked at Leon 2.0.

But stay tuned, it looks like we may be headed for a lesbian love triangle straight from Springer, minus the tattoos.

:-)
 

Good Morning, Patio! Snappy recap with sooo many details, thanks Kirby! That arctic front blew into the RGV Tuesday night; so we've been waking u to temps in the low 30s! Yesterday morning we had a mild freeze. This morning, the grass was frosted. Brrrrr!! BTW, The show has been running until about a minute after the hour; so maybe that is why some of you are getting "cut off."

JudyB,yes these shows end with a bang...and last night Luciho sure looked like she wanted to end with a bang..teeheehee. So she took a bath sulked for a while and after talking to Silvina she gets all dolled up to go rehire Leon. Kirby, you're probably right; she senses the similarities between Leon 1.0 and Leon 2.0. I'm noticing that lately most of her flashbacks are of Leon making her laugh and being such a tender gentleman with her (something that JohnyBeBoring does not do). She may be confused, but she certainly knows exactly how to get to Leonchi...and she flaunts it well.

REMINDER: NO SHOW TONIGHT!! Latin Grahhhmmys are on... :-/
 

Kirby, there was a shooting...Paco got it packed in. What a coincidence that the goons just happened to arrive unnoticed.

I'm glad Beltrino finally remembered his other family and was actually celebrating that they are still alive. What a shocker for him when he learns they are right there in the same city looking for him.

I was also surprised to see Juli using a sewing machine...I'm wondering if she will end up being a famous fashion designer.

Anyone recognize that crooked psychiatrist from "Vino El Amor?" He's just as slimy here.
 

Oh SHOOT :-) overlooked that one for Steve, sorry. Yeah the Phoneus Interruptus. Oh well.

I knew that guy looked familiar, but instead, ran to the bathroom to make sure I didn't have that neck tattoo.

I thought it funny that Juli comes in with a bolt of fabric which looked to be freshly purchased, and sits down at the Singer. No scissors, pattern, straight pins, dressmaker's chalk. Just start it up with white thread on black fabric. Wonder what color was in the bobbin.

" right there in the same city looking for him. " And what a shocker when they see what he looks like now !


 

Thank you for the recap Kirby J and Rgv Chicks...I think it was petty of Jacobo to break Johnny's window, but I found the scene quite funny...So we know now that there is a possibility of Juliana not being Chino's daughter, as to why they have taken this twist in the story, has got me perplexed...I am so looking forward to the next episode to finish that ending scene..and yes Kirby, she was looking mucho sexy, seems to me that hiring him back won't be the only reason for her visit.

Benny
 

Benny, it was quite petty of Hack-o-bo to sling that rod through the window, but I suppose it was the only way he knew how to release some of that rage he was feeling...instead of bashing in Johny's over-sized head as he truly wanted to do. And, yes, Luciho sure wasn't just hoping to hire him back as her driver..at least not car driver...teeheehee ^-^
 

:And, yes, Luciho sure wasn't just hoping to hire him back as her driver..at least not car driver...teeheehee ^-^"-Rgv Chick...lol Hopefully things get heated up a bit in the next episode. I am ready to watch Lucia fall helplessly in love with Jacobo.
 

Oh come on. With all the suspicious activity going on at Carvajal, you don't think Widow Lucia is looking to hire her former driver back for some UNDERCOVER work do you?

Anon 11:13:
Well, f you think about it, with Leon 1.0 probably the only thing in the way with a little ornament half his age was just that--- his age. But take that same sweet, luuuurveable personality and repackage it as Blue Eyes, and Viola !


Let the games begin.
 

"...UNDERCOVER work" good one, Kirby! LOL

The good thing is that Leonchi is getting back into his house near his kids. Of the kids, I think Vale needs (and deserves) the most support and attention. Guil seems lost too, but he has the capability of getting his act together instead of continuing in his pity party and making bad choices. Eva is strong, willful, ambitious and daring...she's playing with fire and will soon get burned. I'm curious to find out how Leonchi will handle the news that she has been using his company to launder money.
 

Assuming he is soon back in his house, the salient point to me, anyway, is that LeonChi will again have his exclusive access to the Bat Cave again. On so many different fronts (if we look at this like armed conflict) the Bat Cave gives him an advantage. Or maybe not even an advantage, but at least begins to level the playing field which is stacked against him otherwise.

I'm really intrigued by Death Lady...no ....make that 'Afterlife Chick', yeah, now that is sexy. I wonder what she is up to. She just looks mischievous all the time.

BTW, I rewatched the sewing machine scene, and Juls does have some scissors, but she still just starts sewing. And the machine is an old Singer treadle machine. Prob from before WW2, like in the twenties or thirties. $$$$
 

Hi Rgv Chick, it was me who replied, forgot to insert my name...."UNDERCOVER work"- Kirby Johnson, lol...I think Johnny might start getting suspicious when Lucia starts rejecting him.

Benny.
 

It would be TN poetic justice for the now wealthy LuciHo to fall for her lowly driver, for real now. Rather than for his money and prestige, as in the first time, she would fall for the real him this time, only to realize waaaay too late, after she has fallen hopelessly for him, that he is playing her like she played him. It would serve her right.

I think they are setting us up for something like that, showing her chicky side, (JudyB) with her actually crying real tears and all. Her turning on Johny and ratting him out would go a long way toward her redemption, otherwise, it is a pretty tall order.

If she does seduce LeonChi, given everything we know, will she try to pay him? :-)
 

Not watching but had to smile at the title - love "my favorite mistake" and actually I've made quite a few! :)

Beautiful woodpecker Kirby...

Diana
 

Benny, I figured it was you :-)

Kirby, "she would fall for the real him this time, only to realize waaaay too late, after she has fallen hopelessly for him, that he is playing her like she played him." Now that would truly be poetic justice. If that does happen, I certainly hope Leonchi isn't as forgiving as some of the protags in other TNs. "...will she try to pay him?" uhmmm, not with money, I'm sure!
 

Diana, nice to have you drop in :-)
 

Okey, I've just read the last three recaps back to back - I haven't had an Internet connection this week, so no show for me (since I can only watch online).
Anita, RGV and Kirby, thank you so much for your entertaining writing and for keeping me in the loop. I'm not sure I'll have the time to binge the shows I missed, but I would like to watch the Leo-Luci scenes at the very least. How is their chemistry building? Are there any fireworks yet?
So Lucia went through the mandatory firing of the new sexy driver routine. Now she has to go get him back, dressed to kill (pun intended), because... who doesn't do that for a man they just met?

Judy, I think you're right and Lucia "feels" the old Leon in Jacobo's studly body.
Kirby, Lucia falling for Jacobo has to be where this is headed. Will he play it slick and convince her to turn on Johnny with him? Fool them both in the process? Will he be able to resist her? I doubt it.
Falling for Jacobo is too easy, he's young, sexy and delicious all the way around - what if she realizes that the only one she has ever loved was Leon?
Naaah, how would she still be able to bed Johnny after knowing what he did to him?

Guil's story doesn't interest me one bit. I feel like they've taken him from slightly boring to "wtf" in a second - having him be involved in a robbery that almost resulted in a man's death and he can only confide in his secretary that he met last week? I think I believed him more when he was turning into the next Chief Financial Officer of the company.

RGV, Eva's definitely playing with fire. She knows what Alacran is capable of but we've seen during their tryst that she doesn't actually like to hear him talk about it. Let's see how she deals with the whole thing when her killer lover starts hitting close to home.
 

"Undercover" or "undercovers"?
 

Adriana, the Leo/Luciho chemistry is getting quite combustible. Now that she went looking for Leonchi to hire him back (looking very sexy), I'm sure there will be an "explosion" soon.

Anon 3:00, it just depends how many covers the bed has :-)

Hoping and praying that all of those living in the path of East coast storm are safe and warm.
 

Hello Patty Oh ! No show last night, too bad we engineers, teachers, truck drivers, goat farmers, home administrators, etc. do not get up on TV for four hours patting ourselves on the back and congratulating ourselves.

Ever notice that all the award show professions could disappear and no one would starve or freeze to death?

Hoppy Friday

I am hoping some of Lucia's clothing almost bursts into flames tonight when she makes up with LeonChi. Oh wait! Maybe she doesn't wear them . :-)
 

Thanks kirby, you always knock it out of the park.

Leonchi shouldn't worry he'll have his
Lady love back, probly by the next Epi
They probly had sexual tension before,
But its worse now.

What exactly is it she's suppose to be doing to help johnyboo to take over the company?Shes just walkin around in a gray funk. This a jumbled mess. I to
Would like to know why the body death
Switcha-roo thingy is happening.
You know what this looks like? A take on "Heaven can wait". Only insteAd of an angel pullin the strings it's a
Demony lookin woman. And she's not funny like the angel was, no fun at all. An episode tonight. Yaaah!

Thanks kirby
