Mi Marido Tiene Más Familia, Capítulo 75, Thursday, December 27, 2018; The Show Must Go On…or….Love Never Fails!


Julieta walks into Susana’s office and Susana tells Julieta she needs her advice because she feels broken. She says, “I know I said that we shouldn’t bring our personal problems to the office, but right now I need help.” Julieta tells her, “That’s all right, we are all human and we all need to talk and reach out sometimes.” Susana goes on to explain how she needs to re-prioritize and put her children ahead of her how needs. She wants to intersect her life as an executive, mother, and a woman who needs a relationship. She admires Julieta, her marriage, and her children. Susana goes on to explain that all her life she has been doing things a certain way, but it doesn’t seem to be working. As Julieta is listening, Julieta’s phone goes off and “Pili” says, “There is a message from your mother in law.” She reads the message and Blanca says she has picked up David and Sebas from school and she will feed them both. Julieta tells Susana to relax, Sebas has gone to Blanca’s to eat supper with David.


Julieta’s advice to Susana is to get closer to her children and spend more time with them. Susana says it’s not that easy and feels like her sons have rejected her and don’t want her around. She cries to Julieta that she sees her as so balanced in her life and has everything, but she is the direct opposite. She also confesses that she had begun a relationship with Pancho Lopez, but decided to end the relationship because of her sons who did not take it very well at all. However, now her heart is broken. She goes on to talk about all of Pancho’s good qualities, but Sebas hates him. Julieta says that it will take a lot of work, but things will balance out eventually. But she should never give up on love.

Sebas, David, and Lupe walk along together saying that nothing will ever separate them. David says that Sebas is his best friend. Soon, Pancho comes to get the twins, but both of them have their arms crossed. They wanted to know when he was going to tell them that he was dating Susana. Pancho says it’s better that they talk at home in private. But Julio says he does not want him involved with Sebas’s mother.

Diego tells Temo and Ari that he has officially transferred to that school. Ari looks a little perturbed, so Diego wants to know why. Ari says that he was just surprised that went so quickly. Diego explains it was no problem transferring because he is a good student. [I’m a little confused, don’t parents have anything to do with coming to the school to check things out at least? Seems a little strange to me.]

Robert talks to Linda and says he is supportive of her work, but cannot support this romantic relationship with their cousin Axel. Linda says she can no longer take her parents’ rules and she is going to ask Dani and Gabriel if she can move in with them while she looks for a place to live. Robert asks if she is doing this for herself or for Axel, but she claims she is doing this for herself. Besides that, Axel is a distant cousin.

Eugenio and Blanca talk and he wants to know how she is getting along with Julieta in the house. Blanca says they are connecting very well. Talking about Julieta and Robert, Blanca says to Eugenio that she too would like to renew their wedding vows as well. Eugenio is a little reticent about the idea as he thinks of himself as an old geezer. But Blanca kisses him and tells Eugenio that she loves him, no matter what. David and Sebas walk in and tease them. Sebas says that is the way David and Lupita will be someday. David is in agreement, till when they are old. Blanca sends the boys to wash up before eating.

Cklass is having some kind of celebration to celebrate their success. A celebrity guest is Ale Garcia who comes to address the group.

Frida, Sebas, and David eat their supper and Sebas tells them about his new dog. Frida asks if he has a picture. So he shows Frida one on the phone. She immediately recognizes the dog as “Hermoso”. She says he looks just like her aunt’s dog that got lost. Then she asks where did he adopt this dog from. Sebas, being a little bit vague says, “In a very special place. I saw him for a while on the internet.” Blanca walks in and says, “Put away that cell phone.” She puts the soup on the table, then sits down and asks them if they would like to put on their Oliver Twist play for them tonight. They all say yes.

After the Cklass celebration, Catalina walks into Julieta’s office and wants to know why she saw Susana crying. But Julieta does not want to tell her. Changing the subject, Catalina asks Julieta what she thinks of her relationship with Tavo and what should she do next? Julieta says she should follow her heart, after all, Tavo is a great guy and she is a very great lady. Catalina just beams and smiles. Julieta goes on and says that Catalina must be strong and not care what anyone says. She wants Catalina to just be happy. Cat practically just jumps with joy and goes over to hug her daughter.

Then Gabriel arrives to see Julieta about organizing her 2nd wedding.

Crisanta and Imelda exchange some verbal potshots at each other in the hallway. Imelda lays it on to Crisanta that she doesn’t know what her own grandchildren are up to. “So did you know that Axel is in love with Linda? This is not from God!” Crisanta does not look happy about this.

Linda goes to see Axel at his office at the hospital. She says, “I am going to fight for our relationship in front of our families!” He is very happy to hear that and she plants a big kiss on him.

Still in Julieta’s office, Gabe and Julieta discuss the plans for her 2nd wedding. She says it has to be really cheap. His laptop is open to a page where Hermoso’s picture is on the screen. Susana walks in to thank Julieta for her advice, but before she leaves, she notices Hermoso’s picture on Gabe’s screen as identical to the dog that Sebas “found.” She appears very uncomfortable when seeing it and remembers the day that Sebas brought the dog. Then she asks about the dog and Gabe tells her they have been searching for him all over Oaxaca, and “Have you seen him?” Susana just backs away saying, “I hope you find him soon.” Gabe tells Julieta that was strange, but Julieta says that Susana has been under a lot of strain today.


At the Lopez home, Julio complains about his father being involved with Sebas’s mother. Temo chimes in and says he does understand, like when their father met Rebeca—the twins’ mother. He added that their dad has every right to have a relationship and find love because love is very important. Pancho then explains that he and Susana ended their relationship and decided to put their children first. Julio then picks up his model and says he is going to work on it on the rooftop because he wants to be alone.

At Polita’s place, Ari plays his portable piano for her. They sit down to eat and she tells him she is going through with the divorce. Ari tells her not to worry, that they will come out fine. He tells her he has been thinking about his career and would like her to become his manager. Polita says, “You mean like how Marisol does for Xavi? Oh I don’t know anything about those kinds of things.” But Ari says, “Well you can learn! You and I will make a great team.” Polita says, “Well where do I sign?” So Ari hands her a napkin. Then Polita puts on lipstick and kisses the napkin. “Okay, signed!” she says.

Robert “talks” to his grandfather Canuto at the plant. He says he will not stop working until both families are united. Julieta comes up behind him and they embrace.

As Julio leaves his apartment with the model he is working on, he sees Susana arriving and is very rude, throwing down his model on the ground saying, “Who are you to try to take my mother’s place?” Susana calmly tries to tell him that she would never do anything to hurt him and besides that, she and his father have ended things. Then he says, “Well I don’t like you!” Sebas comes running out of the Córsega apartment and accidently steps on, running over Julio’s model. Chaos ensues and Sebas grits his teeth saying how much he HATES Julio. Pancho comes out to talk Julio, and the boys keep yelling at each other. Robert comes to try to make peace saying they can’t hate each other. But the boys say, “Yes we can!” The adults make them apologize to each other and they do, very grudgingly. Robert says they will all help repair Julio’s model. Then he announces that there will be an “Oliver Twist” performance tonight at the Córsega apartment. Julio is still mad about David taking back his part and says he will sell drinks and things. Pancho says, “What, you mean give away, right?” Julio says, “Okay, fine, I’ll give out refreshments.” Robert says that sounds like a wonderful idea.

As the children walk away, Pancho says that Julio has been acting like he is chewing on a Habanero chili. Susana says that as adults they should be showing a good example for the children.

We see Hermoso at Susana’s place behind the door just barking….

Gabe and Dani are at the doctor and she tells them that Gabe is responding very well to the treatment. “You mean I’m cured?” says Gabe. The doctor explains it’s not a disease, but he still has to continue his treatment. In a couple of weeks he will be tested again. “We have hope!” says Dani. The doctor says to be patient.

Tavo comes to see Catalina at work and brought her some dinner. She confesses to him that she has fallen in love with him too! They toast to the occasion.


The Córsega apartment is set up for the Oliver Twist musical production and the children (Frida, Lupe, David and Sebas) are in costumes. They recite their dialogue and they all sing their songs. They do a wonderful job together. The adults clap and the children take a bow.



In the kitchen, Julio is making the refreshments for Sebas and David. He spits into the glasses because he is so angry. He brings the “special” drinks to David and Sebas and they drink up, not knowing that Julio just spit into them.

Susana tells Sebas how fabulous he was, but Sebas is still angry with her and wants to continue to live with his father. She lets him know that she broke up with Pancho, but it’s of no use. Then she tells him that he has to return the dog because it belongs to Gabriel and Daniela. Of course Sebas does not want to return the dog, he says he found him and adopted him. Susana tries to explain that the dog got lost, but Sebas doesn’t care. He says, “Well if they were taking good care of him, he wouldn’t have gotten lost. And I’m not going to return him.”

In the hallway, Temo and Ari are together and run into Audifáz. Temo says he will wait outside and walks away. Audi gives Ari a very horrid and cold stare with his eyes filled with hate. Then he tells Ari that he should consider conversion therapy. Then we get a PSA speech from Ari about the “evils” of conversion therapy.

Linda announces that she wants to move out and live on her own. But Blanca and Imelda just verbally attack her. Robert tries to play peacemaker again and this is Pancho’s time to say “Peace out” and leave since this is about Córsega family matters. He takes his children and leaves.  Linda says she wants to independent, but Imelda accuses her of just wanting to move out to have an illicit relationship with her cousin. Blanca says they are telling her all this for her own good. Robert explains that Linda is an adult and should be left to her own consequences of her decisions. Imelda says, “Then I never want to see her again! So if Linda leaves, she will lose her business at the rooftop.” Linda then goes to gather he things since she is no longer welcome in their house.

In the hallway, the next thing we see is an angry Sebas trying to knock down the door at Pancho’s apartment. Robert comes running out to try to see what is going on and make some peace. But Sebas is very angry. Pancho finally opens the door and we find out why: “Julio spit saliva into our drinks and he put the video up in the internet!”

Thank you, Cynthia! Great recap and perfect choice of screen caps to illustrate it all. Your commentary in red hit the nail in the head as usual.

I always love the “play in the play” or ”Let’s put on a show!”. Of course, Blanca’s special effects were a hoot. How convenient to have a nice set of curtains/drapes separating the rooms. The young actor playing “bratty Sebas” has a good voice, I think this was the second time we have heard it unless it is just one jumbo lip-sinking to unrelated voices.

I had to laugh at Julio spitting in the drinks. Typical kid stuff.

Yay! Linda is looking for the door to move out ASAP. Imelda couldn’t be any more nasty but, hey, they all have let her “reign” all of these years so there is no stopping her now.

I did a little research on first cousins marrying. It seems to be legal in much of the world including Mexico, excluding the USA. Since Linda and Axel are not first cousins, it must be societal/cultural in the case of the Córcega’s.

I cannot wait for the camp out.

 

Thank you for your recap, Cynthia, and your red italics comments!

". [I’m a little confused, don’t parents have anything to do with coming to the school to check things out at least? Seems a little strange to me.]" I know, right? Telenovela. Beanie. Hat. Time.

Jarifa, I've tried to find out where the Axel-Linda relationship stands, and first cousins is what I keep coming up with.
Is there a genealogy expert in the house?
If those two marry, they should be prohibited from reproducing, anyway, just based on their personalities.

I am sick to death of Sebas, Audi, Linda, and Imelda. All this drama is wearing on me.
 

doris, I guess first cousins would have to be it because Axel is the son of Eugenio’s sister. It seems that in many countries, marriage to first cousins is not only accepted but encouraged. ITA about a Linda/Alex only prohibition on reproduction due to your reasoning alone. LOL
 

You really spoiled us Cynthia with all those screen caps and I loved the title. For me the one bright spot in this was Sebas' singing. The actor really does have an extraordinary voice. Just amazing. Otherwise, still finding the characters and "messages" annoying, and the kids lipping back at their parents even more annoying. Clearly I'm Old School here.

On first cousins marrying, yes, in some other cultures, marrying your first cousin is often the norm. And families are so large, that within the upper classes, it's pretty hard not to marry a cousin of sorts.

Here in the States, we're having a different problem with in-vitro fertilization from prolific sperm donors and people finding out, after falling in love, that they are half-siblings. What a mess medical intervention can be sometimes.

Hope everybody has a good day. It's gray, cold and rainy here. I would prefer snow but I know that causes travel problems over the holidays so will keep my mouth shut.
 

Thank you , Cynthia.

Judyb, it started raining here last night, so I woke up at 7 to a gray, rainy day...better Than snow and ice for me. Hope that you are feeling better. A lot of people around here have colds that just Will not go away.
 

Excellent screen shots Cynthia. The recap was great fun.

"Pancho says that Julio has been acting like he is chewing on a Habanero chili" was great. The lad looks like he is sucking on a lemon in every scene. Bitter is not a good look for him. He needs a bit of joy in his life.

Best moment= "Ari hands her a napkin. Then Polita puts on lipstick and kisses the napkin. “Okay, signed!” she says". Marisol had no experience as a manager either. Polita needs a chance to sign.

Worst moment - Audi. Eyes ablaze with hatred. For his own son! Beyond disturbing.

Most upsetting moment - Susana recognizing Hermosa but saying nothing. I am hoping she runs home so the pup can go back to his rightful owners.

"If those two marry, they should be prohibited from reproducing, anyway, just based on their personalities! No need to say anything about Linda and Axel - your comment said it all. :)

Jarifa, great comment that Imelda has become larger than life, with no one willing and/or able to stop her.

Judy I agree, Sebas sings like an angel, if indeed that is him singing.

It's also raining here - matches a bit of the let down after Christmas. Hope everyone keeps warm and cozy. I'm enjoying a rare few days off at home.

Cynthia, so well written as always. Thank you!

Diana



 

Thank you everyone!

As for first cousins marrying, there is no law in Mexico that prohibits those marriages. It's the Roman Catholic Church that prohibits first cousin marriage.

There is really no real genetic problem with full first cousins. Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert were first cousins. I believe that Albert Einstein and his wife were first cousins. In the Axel/Linda case, they are not even full first cousins, but 1/2 first cousins, since they do not share the same grandmother.

I don't know how much more of Audi I can take. It's the look in his eyes when he sees Ari and the hate spewing from his eyes really makes me very upset. And I say the same for Imelda's character. I am sick of her and her meaness!

Yes, Susana should have said something when she recognized that Hermoso is the same dog that Sebas brought home.
 

Thanks, Cynthia. So much energy in your recap.

Audi is so hateful now. I'm so use to this actor playing a good guy that I'm assuming Audi will see the light one day.

Julio gets the prize for worst kid last night, taking it from Sebas in my book. Spitting in folk's drink is the grossest.

ITA Susanna not telling Gabe and Dani about their dog was wrong. This high-powered executive is looking cowardly and indecisive.

The play was cute. Nice to see kids acting like kids, in a good way.
 

Thank you for a great recap. I agree that Susana not saying anything about Hermoso to Gabriel was pretty low. But it reinforces her "cluelessness" when it comes to her children. When she found Sebas and he begged to keep the dog, she should have seen that, although he had no tags, he did have a leash on, was obviously clean and well -cared for and had evidently run off from someone. She should have immediately told Sebas he could keep him UNTIL they find the owner. Instead she just gave in to whatever the spoiled brat wanted ... which seems to be her usual way of dealing with her offspring. Buy a clue, Susie, you can afford it!

I need more Crisanta, more of the time!
