Amar a Muerte, 11/8/18, Episode 8: Love is in the Air OR Black Butterfly Lady, Whose Spirit Did You Plop Into Eva?


·        Lupita and Juli arrive in Mexico City. Juli still wonders what they are going to do…the city is huge, but Lupita has a feeling that they will find her father.

·        Guil goes to see Val. He tries to motivate her to take a shower or walk outside. She shouldn’t be locked up there. Val is looking through social media and comments that there are so many people who look so happy. Guil tells her that people upload pics of the life they wish they had…not the life they really have. Val proposes a deal. He should stop being so bitter and she will return to the university.


·        Beltrino calls the “Boss” who knows it’s him despite the fact that Beltino doesn’t say a word. The Boss tells him he was waiting for his call. The Boss threatens that his wife and daughter could die and will not come back to life. As Beltino threatens him, Amparo listens.

·        Johny talks to Susana about the assignment he asked her to do. He just wanted an objective interview to show the personalities of the individuals. They argue about how she should do the interview when Mateo approaches. Johny tells her he has the last word and he wants the interview by the next morning.

·        Guil arrives to work and sees Renata putting flowers in his office. He thanks her, but he isn’t a fan of flowers and takes them out. He is sorry to disappoint her and tells her she can leave. She starts to walk away but then returns and tells him off because he is so ungrateful and bitter. Guily, don’t you just hate it when he sexatary comes into heat at the wrong time...or did you not notice?

·        Lupita and Juli walk along. Lupita never thought she would return to this city since there is no one there left that she knows. She then remembers someone she knew from high school who might help them.

·        Jacobo and Lucia drive back from the cemetery. She tells him that she thinks it was stupid of him to tell her that Leon was not live. When he interrupts her, she tells him she doesn’t like him interrupting She then thanks him for protecting her from the reporter; so he tells her he will guard her as if he was guarding his own life He keeps looking at her; so she tells him to stop looking at her so much and reminds him that he is still working on a trial basis.

·        Camilo talks to a peer who is telling him that he had a patient who also had hallucinations; his name is Ricardo Guzman and his file is in his computer. When Camilo sees Ricardo’s pic, he notices the black butterfly on Ricardo’s neck.

·        Eva arrives and is greeted by Celvina. When she asks for Lucia, Celvina tells her she went to the cemetery to see Leon. When Eva wants to go into her father’s bedroom, Celvina tries to stop her, but Eva reminds her that she is paid by the family, not Lucia.
·        Lucia talks to Jacobo about going to a board meeting. When he mentions that they are boring, she tells him that it surprises her that he is trying to make conversation with her as if they were friends.

·        Guil is in his office and asks Renata When he looks though it, he gets upset and goes to Johny’s office. Guil tells Johny that he has been thinking about what Johny mentioned. There are two things Guil has concluded: 1) he will continue working at the company, and 2) he thinks someone has been stealing from his father for years. (Ohhh Guil better watch his back!) JohnyBeCool tells him he thought the same thing. When Guil explains how he found the info, Johny tells him his father would be happy to see him working there. Jo tells him they need to figure out who the person is before making an accusation.

·        Eva is frantically searching through the closet looking for evidence that Lucia is a liar.


·        Lu arrives at the office and tells Jacobo to wait for her there. He can have coffee and fill out some forms while he waits.

·        Lucia stomps in and asks who sent the cameraman to follow her. Jaramillo tells her they made the decision; they thought it would be good publicity for her. Lucia tells them that the next time they do something without her authorization, they will be fired.

·        Val goes in and asks Eva what she is doing. After Eva tells her she should be helping her find evidence against Lucia, Val tells her he shouldn’t be doing this. She misses their father too, but this is not going to bring him back. Eva is frustrated and walks out on her.

·        Jacobo reads the paperwork he was given to have access to the building. He watches as Johny berates an employee. When Johny comes over and asks Jacobo what he is doing there, he replies that he is waiting for Lucia.

·        Camilo calls Ricardo Guzman and is told by the wife that he died 4 months ago. Camilo then tells her he is a doctor and wants to ask her some questions about what happened to her husband. She tells him that after what happened to her husband (the first time he died), he was like a different man…talking about people they didn’t know. Camilo asks her how he died the second time; so she tells him her husband died a horrible death…as if his soul was being regurgitated. He first died of a heart attack and was resuscitated...they thought it was luck, but it was more of a curse.

·        Beltino is thinking of when he buried the money when Alicia comes in reproaching him for just sitting around doing nothing. He tells her that his previous self was boring, but he now just wants to have fun with his wife. Javi comes in and wants to go watch his friends play ball. Beltino takes him despite Alicia’s objections.

·        Lupita and Juli arrive at Panchito’s house. She reminds him they went to high school together and asks for his help. The wife comes out and tell them that they have nothing right now; so Panchito scurries back into the house. A little later, one of his kids comes out and give Lupita a note …that is all his father can do.

·        Alacran wants to know if there has been any progress from the distribution of Chino’s photo. When the men tell him there has been nothing, Alacran tells them the expand the area of distribution.

·        Javi arrives at the park. His friends tell him they need one more player so Beltino volunteers to play.

·        Leonchi looks at his portrait when he gets a call from Camilo. After Leo gives him an update of what he has been doing and tells him he almost told Lucia everything, Camilo asks him how he is feeling; so Leo tells him he is well.

·        Beltino is playing with the kids when he starts feeling woozy and breathless. As he collapses to the ground, he sees the black butterfly, then SanMue…and the kids think he is dying. Javi quickly runs to the car, gets the inhalers and helps Beltrino recover.

·        Jac sees Mat and tells him he thinks he is the best reporter. Jacobo then mentions that the article Mateo wrote on Leon and tell Mateo that he thinks that if Leon would have read it, he would have been very proud of him. Lucia walks out in a hurry…her meeting was canceled so she is leaving.

·        Javi tells Beltino that he has had asthma all his life. Beltino wants to know what else he suffers from so Javi tells him he has problems with pressure, his kidneys and might have diabetes. When Javi shares that some of the kids make fun of him because of his illness, Beltino tells Javi he will help him get better.

·        Renata tells Guilt ah someone from the police department is waiting for him. The insector has some questions. He wants tot know who was in Leon’s circle of good friends, but Guil can’t ell him much because he wasn’t that close to his father. Inspector then asks about the relationship with Johny, but Guil thinks if he suspects Johny, he is way off (no, Guily, you’re the one that is way off!). Guil then talks about how his father was not very close to him or his sisters. Inspector asks about Eva and if she is capable of doing something against her father or Lucia. Guil gets upset because the inspector is insinuating Eva had something to do with his father’s death. Guil asks that he respect his family.

·        Mat is surprised to see Eva home so early. HE wants to go out to the movies, but Eva has a meeting to attend.

·        Alacran and his goons play pool in a bar. Some guy tells him about a man who made a ruckus there and was acting crazy…saying he was Leon Carvajal. When Alacran shows him El Chino’s pic, the man confirms that was the man who was there.  

·        As they drove along, Lucia gives Jacobo permission to speak freely with her; so he tells her that her husband’s company is immense...her husband probably had the ideal person to lead at the company. Lucia tells him that would probably be Johny. When Jacobo tells her that he thinks Leon would be happy knowing that would head the company, Lucia tells him he is probably the only one who thinks that…everyone else thinks he married Leon for his money. Jacobo tells her he would overhear when Leon would talk about her…he would talk very well about her and loved her very much.

·        Alacran tells his goon to payoff the man; he needs to leave.

·        Lucia gets home and sees her room in shambles; so Celvina tells her it was Eva.

·        Eva enters and looks around the apartment. After she announces that she doesn’t like surprise meetings, Alacran comes out from the shadows and asks how she would like to conduct business. After she tells him that the question is offensive, they KISS!!! OMG! That sure came from left field!

Comments:
This novela is moving extremely slow, and univision ending each episode so abruptly, doesn't help either...We need some spice in this story, something that will keep the audience on their seat...Johnny is a boring villain, and Eva is like a petty child, Lucia is lacking a backbone and Jacobo is just too milky...Right now, the only interesting couple is Renata and Guille...I will keep watching, in hope that things will start to heat soon. Thank you for recap the Rgv.

Heat up*

Just to clear up, Javi said that Beltran had problems with pressure not attention and that he also had problems with his kidneys
 

Thanks, Anon 5:16, I appreciate any clarifications or added details. I will make that correction. If you find anything else that needs to be corrected, please do not hesitate to let me know :-)

OC, I was thinking the same thing about the TN slowing down, but I rather like it. It gives me time to process everything that is going on and figure out the connections between the characters. We had been wondering how Alacran's character would evolve, abd, boy, were we given a surprise last night. I was blown over when he appeared in Eva's apartment and KISSED her! So now I'm am wondering, where and how did these two nuts meet???

I liked how the writer's sequenced the Camilo and Beltino scenes. Camilo finding out that Ricardo Guzman had a horrible second death put me on the edge of my seat when Beltino was started getting dizzy.

And oh those looks between Lucia and Jacobo. She's like, "Don't you dare..but please do!" Poor Leonchi, he is going to be devastated when he finds out about her betrayal. Message to Leonchi: I have a strong shoulder ^-^
 

Apparently, he has a whole bunch of health problems. Hence his diet, since he was a vegetarian who didn’t smoke or drink but el chino obviously didn’t know that. So he has high pressure problems, kidney problems, asthma, and he has diabetes

 

A big Friday Thank You to Ms Chik. Actually, not to be disagreeable with former posts, but I thought a lot happened in this episode. Especially Eva and Alac. WTF? Where did that come from? Was it even supposed to be in there or did the camera continue to roll after they finished this episode? YIKES. So I went to bed last night feeling like I needed to brush my teeth again.

And Butterfly Lady's little soul swap hobby looks like it causes some unexpected problem sometimes. 'Cause I was thinking, if she can do all this spirit shifting and bringing people back from Fry Daddy, can't she fix a case of asthma? Guess not. With Belt, maybe all that internal stuff is just too dam far from his brain. It is seventeen floors up ya know.

Boy LeonChi is treading on thin ice wandering around in his company and acting like he is maybe the unseen janitor who finally got promoted. Knows everyone, knows all their back stories, But don't know shit about his own kids. That is a black (butterfly) mark against him. So now we are beginning to see why the kids are all messed up, and we still don't know what happened to their Mother, and if they all have the same one.

In Ramon Eva looked like the perfect girlfriend, cute, slim and QUIET. Here with new makeup I thought she was smoking hot, though not as quiet, but now pewee, yuck, he can have her. Where are the writers going with this angle? They better not pull one of those tricks on us where it goes absolutely nowhere like they sometimes do.

Good Morning Patty Oh! and Hoppy Friday.
 

RGV wondered: " where and how did these two nuts meet??? " THIS guy introduced them --------->>>>


 

Kirby, "Especially Eva and Alac. WTF? Where did that come from?" My thoughts exactly!! And yes, Eva just went down several notches on the totem pole. Beautiful on the outside, revolting on the inside.

And "LeonChi is treading on thin ice wandering around in his company and acting like he is maybe the unseen janitor who finally got promoted." Apparently that attitude goes along with Leon's personality. I didn't include it in the recap, but when he was looking at his portrait and the receptionist brought him the folder, Jacobo commented that Leon had a big ego and the receptionist responded, "Yes, very (big)!" I guess bad habits are hard to break :-)




 

Ha! cute squirrel! Thanks! ...hey, does that squirrel have a black butterfly tattoo on its neck? LOL
 

And what a TN coinky dinky, that of all the thousands of available slimy unwashed narco straw bosses in Mexico to choose from for some extramarital romping and humping with, you just happen to be with the one who wants to re-kill your Papa. Divine Providence.

Of course when Guily finds something in the books he goes straight to Johny on the pot. To ask for their money back? Nopis, to alert him that SOMEBODY has been stealing. That is like giving him a 'Get out of Jail' card in Monopoly.

Unless they are pulling a fast one on us (me) and it actually is NOT Johny who is the embezzler.

Out of sheer kindness I think Guilly should give Renata a whirl. If she is his secretary, I thought it was almost required in a TN. And it would give her and hot chick something to giggle about at the office fruit bar. Fruit being the offerings, not the patrons, mind you.
 

OC, I replayed the Beltino/Javi scene THREE times and each time I heard "atención" yet high blood pressure makes so much more sense.
 

Kirby, is there a "Kill Me Now" card? And why, oh why, didn't someone suspect something waaaay earlier. Don't these companies have a massive financial department?? Beanie time??
 

Thanks for the great recap Rgv Chick...Lucia and Jacobo are extremely cute...I love the push and pull thing they have going on, they are giving me so much butterflies...I am not looking forward to today's episode, I saw the advances and I know that it will leave me sobbing.

Benny
 

RGV. Exactly, and of all people Guily? Until lately he seems to be so disconnected from the company and HE finds something in the books? Beanie for sure.

What is intriguing is watching LeonChi interact with and get to know, again, his little wifey. So we are all on the same page, she for sure was not the first 'daughter-age' honey who had made a run at him. He is not a bad looking fellow for his age, slim and healthy, appears to know how to treat a woman, and stinking rich. So he has probably been fighting off Lucia types for years, how she wormed her way in is a mystery. BUT what he will not want to admit, especially to himself, is that he got hoodwinked by a former hooker.

So as they spent quality car time together, and the old Leon in the new body gets to see his wife from a different perspective, he is probably going to resist believing what would be plain as the nose on his face to anyone else.
 

He’s saying tensión it sounds like atención tho
 

Thanks, Benny. that push-pull thing is fun to watch. Reminds of two young teenagers trying not to show each other that they have the hots for each other :-)

Kirby, "he (Leonchi) is probably going to resist believing what would be plain as the nose on his face to anyone else." sad, but true :-/
 

Rgv, thank you for another stellar recap, you always deliver.
I agree with you and Kirby that Guil, who thinks his dad's company is the worst could see money missing after two and a half days of work. Leon really didn't give him any credit: financial expert, Casanova extraordinaire and... he loves the poor food, like tamales and such.

WHAT WAS THAT! Eva and the stinky, greasy, killery Alacran? That is so yucky!I actually prefer Johnny as far as romantic partners go, he's a killer, but at least he doesn't dirty his own hands (I have my standards when it comes to killers, you know).
I do have to wonder where this is leading... it's the first time this tn actually surprises me and I love it.

I also liked the fact that Camilo is investigating what is happening after the souls change bodies, sometimes down the line. I was afraid he was just going to be Leonchi's sidekick, but it looks like they are giving him stuff to do, too.

I'm all in for Lucia and Leonchi's chemistry. I'm so used to seeing A. Boyer with Rulli or Zepeda, it is such a breath of fresh air to watch her share screen time with another man. And what a guy she got!

Is it wrong that I don't really care about Beltino and his family (faux and real ones). The actors in this half of the tn don't particularly interest me, either, I would be just fine gazing at Leonchi all day long and counting the episodes before he starts to figure out the truth.


 

I wish we knew more about the specifics of SanMue Butterfly Lady. Well, not exactly her, but this soul shifting hobby she seems to have. After Camilo looked into the death, not dead-- dead again of Ricardo Guzman I wonder what we are in for with our two black moth beneficiaries.

The Guzman widow painted a none too rosy picture of his close encounters of the Butterfly Kind. I am now wondering if things with our two boys are static or the worst is yet to come. And they seem to be slowly evolving as memories start resurfacing.

Like Yikes, what about when Beltrino remembers his Lupy and Juli. Or LeonChi remembers them too. Arrrrgh it is just too complicated Charley Brown.
 

Thanks Rgv Chick. And wow, color me flummoxed like everybody else at the Eva/Alacran pairing. Jeez lady, you left a nice looking good guy at home for a sadistic killer who's dipped his pen in a gazillion ink pots around Texas and Mexico. Puh-leeze!

Oh well. Fun surprise.

I like the developing camaraderie and affection between Beltran/Chino and his son. And I get a kick out of his sexy encounters with his surprised but appreciative wife. At least his new family is enjoying the mysterious changes.

I'm not finding this slow or boring at all. Enjoying every bit of it for now.
 

Thanks, Adriana and JudyB.

Adriana, I don't like Lucia's and Leonchi's chemistry..I'd rather make my own chemistry with Leonchi. It had been a looong time since I thought a galan was this hawt. I think he'll be my first telenovio :-D

JudyB, I too enjoy Beltino's interactions with is son. It brings out such a good side of El Chino. And I have to laugh at Alicia's reactions to her husband's newfound "interest."
 

Good recap Ms Chick. This leonchi guy
Is falling in love with the exhooker /golddigger and possibly murderer. He does seem to be more interested with the wify than his neglected younguns.

Eva tore up the stepmummys room and not even gave a dam if she knows about it.
She'd a bold bitch. I've never seen anything like this tn. Theyre getting weirder and weirder on uni.

Thanks Ms Chick
 

NiNaaaahhh where you been girl?
