Mi Marido Tiene Más Familia, Capítulo 71, Thursday, December 20, 2018; A Doctor and Vegetable Dealer Walk into a Bar….
Labels: mimarido2
Pretty good episode with dog tricks, “Tornado” Hugo doing his thing like he was still eight years old himself, a crazed car ride to the bus station, the start of a brawl!
“This is not what Audi wanted to hear”. So true. Ha! Maybe she can talk some sense to the old goat.,
So, Blanca got Julieta to smile while remembering her first date with Robert. Looks like Robert is doing something right.
I am hoping for more of the brawl tonight.
“Linda comes prancing in” and “It’s Vicente coming to ruin Susana’s day” (and ours) were a few of my favorites.
I fell asleep and cannot believe I missed the bar room brawl. This doesn’t bode well for Susana trying to declare she and Pancho are a couple, does it? Speculation (not spoiler) that this will push Vincente into confronting Susana and likely in front of the “boys”. He is an elitist snob and I see nothing likeable about him.
Seems like both Susana and Julieta are noticeably absent from work. Who is running things?
I could not for the life of me figure out what Hugo was doing so thank you for explaining that. Hugo is sort of a dope. Granted a very handsome one and not a bad guy but just seems a few steps behind. He and Diana are the most mismatched couple IMHO.
While I’m thinking Cat and Tavo friendship will likely blossom into more, I like their genuine camaraderie and what it has done to improve Cat’s temperament.
“Temo wonders of Ari is jealous, or just jealous as a friend”. I do too. Temo is so unhappy I think a fresh start would have been good for him. Now I’m wondering if Ari does indeed have deeper feelings for Temo than he realizes. I am not sure friendship was a good enough reason getting Temo to stay.
“She scolds Polita for daring to divorce her wonderful son, Audifás”. Shut. Up. Imelda. Speaking of, “old goat” is the perfect description for Audi Jarifa!
Seems as though Gabi's business is up and running. Like the fact he and Dani are taking different paths but seem to be working harmoniously at home. My loved (and long gone) fur son used to bark when hub and I kissed so Hermoso's barking struck a chord with me.
Cynthia, this was great. Thank you so much!
Happy Friday!
Diana
Thanks Cynthia for an excellent recap, screen shots and superb title.
JudyB, those colds are lasting a real long time around here.
Time to get out of here and get moving. The list of errands keeps growing. So happy it is just rain and no snow. ☺️
Judy, so sorry your cold is lingering on. Even though this is such a busy time of year, I hope you are able to take a bit of time to rest so that you can recover.
Diana
Jarifa: Don't forget about the popcorn & special hot sauce.
Kirby: I noticed she was not impressed by the kisses.
It is really sad to see Imelda spending her golden years being bitter and judgemental. Such a waste a time.
Gray and raining. Does not help me spirits.
Judyb, I hope that cold lets go of you soon. That can be very draining.
Thank you, Cynthia and Jarifa for your stellar recaps. Sometimes I start the show late or doze off, so I appreciate you all filling in the blanks. Unfortunately, I did get to see Imelda at her worst...if thaT woman doesn't go soon, I will be tempted to stop watching and just read the recaps. She is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!
i still can't get over Dani's and Gabe's quick reconciliation. Don't they seem tooo happy and hopeful too soon? Or is something brewing tah will burst their bubble?
Hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better week-end.
Vicente never seemed to be pining away for Susana to me. Some nerve getting pushy now that she's happy with Pancho.
I'm puzzled about Ari's feelings for Temo too. In TN land as I know it, running to stop someone from leaving town is a lover's move.
Blanca is the pillar of this family, but I am missing Eugenio.
JudyB, hope you get the rest you need to knock out this cold.
Spaghetti sauce is simmering,bows are on the presents, now on to more chores.

"Don't they seem tooo happy and hopeful too soon?". Yes - great observation about Gabi and Dani!! Temping fate...
susanlynn, I think many of us have or had an "Imelda" in their lives. Hopefully,not a bad and with a far less sense of self righteousness.
"In TN land as I know it, running to stop someone from leaving town is a lover's move". Niecie, exactly. Well stated. And why was he so uncomfotable in the last scene??
Diana
:-)
RgvChickie, I'm sorry to hear of the loss of two of your kids.
I don't know what to make of the Temo situation and Ari. First Julieta could have gotten them killed trying to get to the station on time. Then I was bracing myself in case I had to watch Ari and Temo kiss :-)
I have no problem with two men kissing romantically in general, but I am not comfortable watching it. Much as I don't much care for wedding scenes where the bride and groom share a kiss and start swapping spit and doing dental exams. Just tacky.
And, back to Ari and Temo, is Ari getting Temo's hopes up without good cause? After having been misled about Audifaz and Aura I'm being cautious on this one.
:-)

"Seems like both Susana and Julieta are noticeably absent from work. Who is running things?" Good question. Vicente and Robert seem to have a lot of time on their hands, too.
"old goat" applies to Imelda, too, with no disrespect intended toward RgvChick's kids.
Blanca has come a long way from her season 1 persona. That thought occurred to me when she was telling off Imelda about accepting family differences.

I like that Pancho and Robert are turning into buddies. Who would have guessed?
Gabe cracked me up when he said Pancho's name with a slight Pancho accent.
Instead of tearing across town, why didn't anyone try to call Pancho or Temo's cell phone? Oh. right. telenovela. beanie. hat. time.
Temo turned down Diego's feelings, just as Ari turned down Temo's feelings. Does Temo realize that?
I'm glad church lady told Audi that they accept others and the message is love.
Today is the winter solstice. I survive facing the rest of winter, from this day forth (well, really tomorrow, but let's not split hairs-lol), by reminding myself that now the days are getting longer. :-) Cold here, in the low 40s and "feels like" 30º, north wind, howling thru trees, drizzle. And one section of lights on our "pre lit" Xmas tree just went out last night. Argh. No wonder the wise people of "way back when" put Christmas as this time of year. At least the rest of the tree works. We might string some regular lights in the blackout area and call it a day. :-D
RGV Chick, I’m so sorry about your “kids”. I hate to see little animals suffer and die so young. I’m happy that you are keeping up with the show through recaps. Yeah, I don’t know about Gabe and Dani’s reconciliation. They do seem very happy. I fear that something will go wrong though. I hope I’m wrong, but I do enjoy seeing them getting along well and Gabe not suffering from depression. I fear we will get something negative in the works, but who knows?
Diana, that’s right, Hugo was called Tornado by his family. Not sure why it was his nickname though. I laughed at his spinning around. Oh, that barroom brawl was good and so slapstick!
Niecie, I am missing Eugenio too. What I read in some of the Spanish magazines, was that the actor had to have surgery.
Andy, I am with you, I am not comfortable seeing same sex couples kissing and neither do I like to see what appears to be the tongue in the mouth type of kissing with opposite sex couples on TV. I’m a Hallmark movie girl and prefer clean kissing with couples. I love watching Outlander, but the scenes with the married couple of Jamie and Claire are very well done. Passion has its place there.
The way I see things here is that the writers are promoting two extremes. We get either Imelda’s and Audifáz’s mean, nasty view of homosexuality or we get a PROMOTION and CELEBRATION of the homosexual culture that is totally normalized. There is no position in the middle where anyone can disagree with homosexual practices but not promote it, being kind and understanding at the same time. There is no middle ground given here. No one ever says, “Well, I disagree with what you are doing, but I love you nonetheless. Let me know if you would like to talk about it.” Today’s political climate shuts down any discussion where anyone can disagree and ad hominem attacks on anyone who disagrees are the norm.
I’m just wondering if the scene was, let’s say a 16 or 17 year old Frida who really liked a boy as a good friend, but the 16 or 17 year old boy was head over heels in love with her. He decides he can’t take it anymore and is very depressed, so he decides to leave and go to another town. Then Frida says, “Oh no, I can’t lose my best friend!” So someone drives her to the bus depot risking life and limb to stop this young boy from leaving town. No, it wouldn’t happen that way. In fact, the adults would just tell her, “let him go, he needs some time to himself.” Nobody would be seriously promoting a teenaged relationship; and Temo, Ari, and Diego are all teenagers. Teens change their relationships all the time, so why take this one so seriously?
Doris, yeah calling Pancho on his cell phone would have been too logical. Let’s adjust our TN beanies. ;) I too am glad that Daphne at the church told Audi that the message is love for one another. We get no where by being mean and hateful.
Does anyone know if there will be pre-emptions on Christmas day?
RgvChick - I skim the comments quickly and missed your loss of two kids. (((Hugs))) ❤️
While in Ireland, in summer several years ago, and were fascinated by the extent the ancient people went to mark this day.
"Temo turned down Diego's feelings, just as Ari turned down Temo's feelings. Does Temo realize that?" Ummm, I don't think so doris. I didn't either. I didn't realize/understand that Diego cared for Temo other than being a friend. Perhaps things might change. Very confused at this point and don't know what to think.
Ari and Temo seem very young. Whenever I see young couples (I don't care if it's opposite or same sex), I sometimes worry they just seem too darned young. Is my AARP membership showing? :) And Cynthia, I agree that Julieta's red hot pursuit seemed a bit extreme.
Such chases seem best reserved for couples madly in love forced to part. I keep thinking about Erica Buenfil chasing Eduardo Yanez (can't remember the characters names) in Amores Verdaderos trying to intercept him before he boarded a bus. Their kiss when she did so was incredible.
doris, who is in your sweet avatar?
