Amar a Muerte, 1/31/2019, Episode 62: Misinterpretations and Complications


 
Vale arrives at the university and confronts Lucho; she hopes he’s happy that everyone is making fun of her. Lucho retorts that she converted herself into a lesbian; he warns her to take her crap elsewhere and not to even dare show up to any of their parties or events with Juls…Vale shouldn’t go at all.  (And especially don't mention that she was tired of trying to help him solve his 'problem'.  Tee Hee.)

At Silvina’s house, Lupita again asks Juls what’s wrong; she seems even more down than the night before. When she insists, Juls tells her to stop…she just doesn’t want to talk. Lupita finally guesses right that Juls had a fight with Vale. Lupita thinks that Vale is beautiful and nice, but she pertains to a different world…they are like water and oil. Juls gets upset and asks, “Who asked for your opinion?” Juls doesn’t get into her business with Pancho; and she doesn’t make comments because Lupita takes advantage of him since he’s got a thing for her. Lupita denies it, but Juls insists that Lupita calls him whenever she wants something. Lupita scolds Juls and tells her not to be rude; so Juls snaps at her not to get into her business.  (Mom, do think maybe any of this mess might be your fault?)

 Pancho and Milagros are having breakfast at a café. Milagros tells Pancho that he should be with his family; she can’t imagine that he abandoned them. When Pancho points out that Brigida kicked him out, Milagros retorts that Brigida had reason since he left first…all to go chasing after those criminals. Pancho makes it clear that Lupita and Juls are not criminals, but Milagros insists that they are since the cops went looking for them at her house. She adds that the family is sacred and he should be fighting for his family so the kids won’t be affected, but Pancho thinks they would be more affected if they saw him and Brigida fighting all the time. When Milagros pleads with him to try again, Pancho responds that it’s not a matter of trying; the relationship hasn’t worked for many years…and he has already decided…he’s going to ask Brigida for a divorce. Oh swell!

At the company, Keila and Teo talk about Renata. Keila thinks Renata made a big mistake in resigning; she won’t find a better job. Teo doesn’t think Renata and Guille will last very long. When Keila adds that it won’t, especially now that they are living together, Teo is shaken by the news and leaves quickly. (To go prepare his 'rebound' kit?)

At the university, everyone looks at Vale like she’s a leper. When she gets a call from Juls, Vale avoids answering; so Juls leaves a message asking what is going on since she hasn’t heard from her since last night when she was acting strange. Still outside, Lupita reads the article about Mugres’s murder and panics so she yells out to Juls. Lupita is afraid that the Cartel will somehow find out that she is alive and come to kill her. Lupita wants to leave the city; they can’t risk having her killed. Lupita rushes off and calls LCJ who tries to calm her down and assure her that Mugres’s death doesn't imply that something bad will happen to her. Seeing that he is unsuccessful at calming her down, LCJ tells her he is on his way over.

At the company, Johny is meeting with Requena who tells Johny that he has a meeting with his attorneys to discuss the selling of the shares. Just then, Johny gets a call from Fabricio who tells him that LCJ is leaving. Johny tells him to follow him and to let him know where he is going.

Vale gets home dragging her feet and lies down on her bed only to be interrupted by Eva who has made an appointment for her with a psychologist. Vale can’t believe what Eva did and wonders if Eva knows that hers is not a sickness. Vale tells Eva that Eva’s problem is that she thinks she knows what everybody needs...and she doesn’t because she doesn’t care; furthermore, she lives like three generations behind which is very frustrating to Vale and makes her feel very bad….she is somewhat ashamed to have Eva as a big sister. Everything seemed to go in one ear and out the other…Eva tells Vale that one day she will be grateful to her; Eva will send Vale the time and pace for the meeting…she is doing this because she loves her. People stopped believing “This hurts me more than it does you.” forty years ago, Evil.

At Renata’s place, Guille is trying to get his insurance to cover new tires. He is dismayed that the deductible is more than the cost of the tires. When Renata suggests that he just buy the tires, Guille asks, “With what money?” Renata offers to lend him money, but Guille tells her the cost of the tires which shocks Renata so he tells her that he will handle it.   (Luuuurve, Mexican Style)

At Barb’s place, Beltrino can’t stop thinking about what she told him the night before; he’s not feeling well. Barb had never seen him that bad. Beltrino is distraught because of what is happening to him and not being able to tell anyone. When he mentions Lupita and Juls, Barb wonders why he worries about them when he hadn’t before. Beltrino responds that he thought he didn’t care, but it is difficult to know that they are going through a hard time. Barb reminds him that he is no longer El Chino, but Beltrino is still bothered…they are being followed because they are looking for him. When Barb asks if this has to do with the money he brought from Texas, Beltrino admits that that is part of it, but there is also the USB that can bring down the Cartel de la Sierra at the snap of a finger. Barb thinks he should take it to the cops so that they can stop pursuing Lupita, but Beltrino believes that the worst thing a person can do is to be a whistleblower…if he does that, his wife can be killed.   For Pete's sake let Viewerville see what is on that USB and we will help you Belt.

Silvina and Tiberio arrive at their house to check on a problem with moisture. Lupita lets them in and when she thanks Silvina for allowing them to stay there and holds Silvina’s hands, Silvina has a vision of Lupita, Juls and El Chino running during the hurricane. It shakes her up, so Lupita offers to take her into the house, but Silvina quickly refuses. Silvina needs air and wants to check on her plants so they can go back…she needs to get back to work.  (If Barb had Silvina's gifts, Death Chick would be working for HER.)


At Barb’s place, Barb asks Beltrino what he feels for his other woman. Beltrino smiles and knows she is referring to Alicia, the professor. He thinks she is an incredible woman; she’s grand, good-looking, very cultured…and he respects people like that because…he is an animal. He continues that Alicia has a light in her; he likes to make her smile. When Barb asks about Javier, Beltrino thinks he’s great; he had always wanted a son…maybe, deep down, he had always wanted a family like that. He then sighs as he thinks of all the people he killed… and the family he already had. 

LCJ drives along unaware that Fabricio is following him. Fab calls Johny and tells him they are arriving at Xochimilco. (Silvina's country house) Johny is on his way.

Renata is home talking to Keila on the phone. When she tells Keila that she already emailed ten résumés, Keila reminds her that she can’t look for a job just anywhere; she has to look at the benefits. Keila asks how things are going with the match between Guille and her cat, Tlacoyo. Renata doesn’t even want to think about it; Guille’s luggage will probably always be stained…other than that and having his tires stolen, all is well. Keila advises Renata to think things through because living together could end up breaking up her relationship. Renata clarifies that living together was not in their plans; Guille is only living there until he gets a job which hopefully will be soon. Keila thinks he is sure to get a job soon because of his studies in England; and Renata thinks his last name will also help.  Yep, every company wants a spoiled little rich brat who has never been expected to actually accomplish anything measurable.

At Guille’s interview, it is noted that he knows three languages, but that he has very little experience. When he is offered a job on a trial basis for a month without pay, Guille points out that he attended a renowned school in England. The man tells him that they get applicants every day with the same qualifications and who have gone to similar universities…and they would all be proud to be given the opportunity that Guille is being offered. Guille declines the job. You go boy, keep living the dream.  As that is all it is at this point.

Servando is being driven to Lucía’s house. Chulo tells him that they are about to arrive and asks if they should start shooting right away. Servando tells him to stay calm as he takes out Juanita (his pistol) and admires it. Meanwhile at the Carvajal house, Lucía calls LCJ and tells him that she almost has everything ready. When LCJ wonders what she is talking about, Lucía adds that she has her luggage packed; she wants to leave as soon as possible. As LCJ comments because Lucía wants to leave so soon, Juls leaves Silvina’s house; so LCJ ducks to avoid being seen. Lucía asks where he is; LCJ responds that he is running an errand and as soon as he is finished, he will go for her so that they can leave. LCJ ends the call and sits watching to make sure Juls has left. Meanwhile, Fab stops at a distance and calls Johny to ask where he is. Johny is almost there.

At the Carvajal house, Tiberio worries about Silvina and offers to get her high blood pressure medication, but Silvina explains that it isn’t that. She saw another vision when she touched Lupita—she saw her running with her daughter in the middle of a storm…and then Jacobo appeared running with them. What puzzles Silvina is that when she touched Jacobo, León appeared. Silvina thinks Don León is trying to send her a message. After they sit down, Silvina wonders if Tiberio doesn’t think it strange that the woman and Jacobo knew each other…and if he thinks about it, Jacobo and Juls appeared at the same time. She wonders if Jacobo and Juls are responsible for the bad things that have been happening to the family…and what if they are Don León’s murderers!

At Silvina’s house, LCJ and Lupita talk at the gate. LCJ just wants to assure her that the narco’s murder in jail had nothing to do with her; so she shouldn’t worry. Lupita has that dumb la-la look and still can’t believe LCJ isn’t El Chino. He reiterates that he isn’t El Chino, but all Lupita can see is his eyes and his body. LCJ, aggravated, tells her they can’t continue on like this; they sound like a broken record. Lupita tries to get his sympathy—she is scared and needs his help. She adds that she doesn’t want him to leave her alone—though he says he’s not El Chino, he has his body and has to help her. She grimaces and cries, and as she tells him that she needs him to help her, she hugs him tightly…as Fabricio takes their picture and Johny slowly approaches Fabricio’s vehicle and gets in. They continue watching as Lupita has a good, strong looong grip on LCJ; Johny smirks and is glad to assume that the chauffeur has a wife…that’ll be a surprise for Lucía and everyone else. LCJ manages to separate himself from the Lupita’s armlock and tells her to calm down. Lupita can’t fathom how he expects her to remain calm after all that has happened to her; so LCJ reminds her that those people think she is dead. When Lupita insists that she doesn’t feel safe anywhere, LCJ wonders what she expects him to do, but Lupita doesn’t know…that’s why she called him; she can’t think (and the newsflash is??) Lupita feels that if she stays there, she and Juls will be at risk. LCJ agrees to figure out how he can help her, but needs time. As she holds his head close, Lupita thanks him…and Johny smiles big. 


At the Carvajal house, Lucía runs out to her patio in a panic. Security tells her she shouldn’t be out there as she looks at the motorcade of Armenta vehicles approaching on the iPad. The guard at the security office also watches in disbelief; so he calls Fabricio who tells him to secure the house and not let anyone get close. Two guards should go ask what those people want; if something happens, they should call the police. Meanwhile, Chulo gets antsy and wants to start the party, but Servando tells him to wait. As two guards walk out the gate, Lucía watches on the pad. The guard asks Chulo what they want and warns him that if they do not leave, they will call the police. As they argue, Servando gets out of the vehicle, approaches the guard and looks him in the eye as he kisses his fingers before touching the guard’s forehead making the sign of the cross. Servando turns around to return to the vehicle and his goons follow suit. Inside, Lucía is relieved to see them leave and goes back inside after telling the guard to notify her if anything else happens.


Guille arrives to his new home with grocery bags in tow when Mayela approaches wearing the same dress she was wearing a couple of TN days before (Wardrobe!!) and asks him to wait. Guille thinks she is following him, but Mayela just wants to talk to him as a friend. Eva told her he had left the house; so she assumed he was staying there. She recounts how her day was horrible—she got into it with the press, they humiliated her, she lost it…there is nothing worse that could happen to her in her life (seriously, Lady, that’s the worst thing?). She continues that it is very clear to her that they will only be friends and nothing will happen between them, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t worry about him. Mayela goes on that true love takes time; it grows with patience. She adds that Guille is moving too fast with this girl and that he has always been rational and thinks things through, but Guille thinks he knows Renata well enough. When Mayela asks him what they have in common other than sex, Guille remains quiet (speak up, boy!); so Mayela knows that right now he is blinded by the thought of being in love, but if he ever needs a listening ear or if he regrets what he is doing, she will be the person who will listen to him. After she kisses him good-bye, Guille seems doubtful.  (Or noticed that her ugly, silk robe is getting a little ripe.)

At the Carvajal house, Lucía is giving orders to the guards that she wants more guards and they should call Montilla; she doesn’t want anyone getting close to the house.

At Renata’s place, Guille enters and sighs deeply…the interview was awful. When he tells her that he turned down the job, Renata can’t believe it and is somewhat worried. She is sure he will find a job soon, but in the meantime he can stay there as long as he wants. He tells her he has to go get some things from his house, so Renata gives him a set of keys; this is his apartment now.  Meanwhile, the cat is secretly texting Teo.

In front of Silvina’s house, Fabricio and Johny watch as LCJ leaves. While Johny scrolls through all the pictures of LCJ and Lupita, Fabricio tells him about the commotion at the house and how Servando made the sign of the cross on one of the men and left; he thinks that the narcos are capable of anything. When Fabricio suggests that they look for General Lopez, Johny is in disbelief and asks if Fab is serious. Fab is very serious since it is very unusual that Servando himself went to the Carvajal house. Johny agrees and tells Fab to take care of it; Lucía’s safety is most important.

At the Carvajal house, Silvina is dismayed about having been so close to that murderer and his accomplices living in their home. Tiberio warns her that what she imagines may be one thing and what is really true could be totally different. Silvina insists that they should tell someone about what they have discovered. Tiberio suggests going to the police, but Silvina refuses to tell them about her gift…they’d think she’s crazy. She thinks she should talk to someone whom she trusts. Moments later, Silvina goes to see Lucía in her room; she needs to tell her something very important. Silvina knows that what she is going to say is going to be hard to believe. After Lucía comments that with the type of life she has had, nothing will surprise her, Silvina confides that she inherited a gift from her grandmother; she can see a person’s past and future just by touching them and also in dreams. Lucía doesn’t really like those topics; she doesn’t believe in any of that. Silvina swears on her ancestors that it is true; she knew Sra. Elena would die before they even diagnosed her with her illness…she saw it in dreams. Lucía is skeptical and asks if she could see Sra. Elena’s death, why she couldn’t predict León’s death. Silvina replies that it is not a gift that you can just will to happen. She thought she had lost her gift after Sra. Elena’s death because she didn’t see anything else. Silvina wishes she didn’t have this gift because she sees things that she doesn’t want to know. Lucía’s curiosity is peaked so she asks Silvina if she saw something that she wants to share, so Silvina explains that what she saw pertains to León’s death and who may have killed him. Lucía freezes.  (As she tries to remember which side of the suitcase the clean underwear is packed in)

At Silvina’s house, Johny goes to question Lupita. She asks who he is and what he wants.

Back with Lucía, Lucía asks what Silvina saw; so Silvina tells her that the first thing she saw was Don León when she touched Jacobo…she wonders if Don León was trying to send her a message. Lucía is bewildered and wonders what Jacobo has to do with this. Silvina then brings up Juls and tells Lucía that, as per Vale’s request, Juls and her mother are borrowing her house to hide from some narcos. Today when she went to her house, she met Juls’s mother and when she touched her, she saw them running in a storm and Jacobo was with them. When Lucía asks what she is trying to say, Silvina wonders if they all know each other and arrived at this house through different paths right after Don León’s death. When Silvina adds that she thinks they have something to do with Don León’s murder, Lucía feels very confused and insists that that is impossible. (Because she knows EXACTLY how he died)  Silvina questions why Lucía would say that; so Lucía reminds her that Jacobo arrived through Cami’s recommendation…he has nothing to do with what she is saying. Lucía respects Silvina’s gift, but it confuses her and upsets her because it’s absurd. Silvina meekly apologizes and leaves. As she leaves, Lucía speaks under her breath stating that Silvina is crazy.  IE: she hopes she is crazy? That was a close one.

At Silvina’s house, Johny puts on his pretentious smile and tells Lupita that he only wants to ask a few questions…about the person who just left, Jacobo Reyes. After Lupita asks who gave him her address, Johny apologizes, introduces himself as Daniel Amaya, and tells her he works at a bank where Mr. Reyes asked for a credit from them and gave this address as his address. Johny is there to corroborate the information. After Loopy-ta agrees to answer some questions, Johny asks if she is his wife. When she remains quiet, Johny adds that Mr. Reyes talked about her and his children. Loopy-ta clarifies that they have an 18 year old daughter. After Johny gives her some BS about also having a daughter that age, he asks what each of them does.



On his way back, LCJ calls Cami and tells him that everything is going as planned; Lucía agreed to go away with him. When he tells Cami that he is on his way to go for her, Cami wonders where is going to take her. LCJ chuckles and tells Cami not to worry; if this works out, he will start Phase 2 which will be the moment of truth. LCJ then assumes that Cami thinks he is going to kill Lucía and assures him that he hasn’t decided. After Cami warns him not to do anything stupid, LCJ hangs up.  (Which usually does not mean okey dokey)

At the Carvajal house, Sergio goes to visit Vale; He assures her that he comes of his own accord; he doesn’t like how she was treated at the university and that is why he is there. Sergio thinks her relationship with Juls is cool; he will support them. He also admits that it was his fault that everyone found out about her and Juls; he was very drunk and he just blurted it out to Nayeli who told everyone else. When Sergio apologizes, Vale figures everyone would have found out anyway. Sergio assures Vale that he is on their side and offers to help them in any way he can. He thinks that students at the university will eventually accept it and look at it as normal. Sergio then teasingly tells her that he wants to congratulate her for vindicating herself since she dumped Lucho for Juls. Vale laughs.

At the university, Beltrino is asking for an extension for their leave of absence for himself and Alicia since their son needs them with him. As the director tells him not to worry, Beltrino notices Rosita sitting with some girls. Rosita smiles impishly.

At Cami’s house, Cami is looking through some of the files of the transmigrants. As he reads a paragraph about some of his findings out loud, Death Chick approaches from behind him and listens attentively and smiles. Cami senses a presence and continues to write as he raises his voice purposefully to dictate his questions regarding who grants the second opportunity and chooses the privileged…why some can come back to the living and others can’t. Death Chick is pleased.

 At the university, Beltrino goes to the bathroom. As he does his business, Rosita enters. When Beltrino points out that this is the men’s bathroom and asks what she is doing there. Rosita smiles seductively as she asks him to think about it and if she can call him ‘Beltran.’ Beltrino is amused.

At Silvina’s house, Johny dismisses himself from Loopi-ta. When she tells him that she will do whatever she needs to help Jacobo, Johny notes that she looks sad and tells her not to worry since better things are yet to come. He gives her some more BS and lays it on thick while he says his good-bye. Stoopi-ta is impressed and flattered. Johny goes and tells Fab how appreciative he is of him and wants him to continue doing a good job. As they talk, they see Juls arrive in a taxi. Johny is pleased that he has now seen the complete family…as he takes Juls’s picture.

Re-Post
Just found this site after several years...forgot how great it is! Thanks for the recap work.

Does anyone know if there really is the libro, "La Muerte es Solo un Portal"? It was shown in some early episodes but I neglected to get a closeup of it.
Thanks
 

Mel, when the book was first mentioned, I did a search for it and couldn’t find it; so I don’t think it is a real book.
 

It looks like the action starting to pick up.!!!!

Does anyone know how long this novela will be?
 

Victoria, around six weeks or so as I understand it.

Sheezo how many Johny Dirtbags are there? That turd is everywhere. Does everyone just believe that he is in charge of the whole world now simply because he acts like it? Nobody asks, "Um did somebody die and leave you in charge? Then get out of here."

If the roles were reversed, Rosita would be hauled up into court. Although I was hoping Belt would ask for a little assistance. "Oh Hi. How convenient. Could you give me a hand .. here?"

doorMatt is stupid. Real stoooopid, but Loopy outshines even him. Spilling her guts to Johny, she is a prime candidate for identity theft, but after a few minutes THAT identity would be in the nearest garbage can.

I really enjoyed Lucia's "Oh shit, who frigging else is onto us?" look as Silvina spoke of her visions of the possible murderers of Leon. The chipmunk looked to be hiding a couple acorns in those puffy little cheeks.

Guille: Welcome to 'Real Life 101' a course for which you have accomplished none of the prerequisites. All you have done thus far is sign up. There is more to it than that Son.

Death Chick is turning out to be pretty cool. She kinda has a tough assignment but she is making the best of it. I hope she got my email about Johny.

Keila never disappoints. Does she wake up looking like that? Yum

Hoppy Friday
 

Mel, it was late last night and forgot my manners. A big welcome back to Caray; glad you found your way back.

Victoria, I believe there are a total of 87 episodes for this TN; so if no slicing and dicing has been done, there are 25 episodes left...or approximately 5 weeks more for everything to be resolved. I haven’t heard anything about a second season; so I hope there are no loose ends.
 

OK I am awake enough now to say Thank You RGV Chik for a great recap. So annoyed at that stupid Johny, and maybe more so at NO ONE throwing an Org Chart in front of him and pointing out that he is a frigging Bean Counter, now sit down and shut up.
 

Thank you, Chickie.

Didn't John have a run in with Death Chick awhile ago? Did we ever find out what that was about ?

Well, 2*degrees here. My friend in England emailed today that they are experiencing very cold temperatures. He was stationed in the Antarctic in the Navy and says that it is colder in the U.S. Middlewest now than it is there. The only time they did not go out when he was in the Antarctic was when it was -100. Yikes.


 

Great recap and screencaps Rgv Chick. You're spoiling us and I'm taking it for granted. Sorry!

Since I continue to have a big soft spot for Belchino, I was very touched by his confession of both caring what happened to his first family, and being so happy with his current family. But most of all, his regret that this wonderful family he now has is like the wonderful families of all those people that he murdered. He's definitely coming face to face with his own past callousness and cruelty. But alas, his libido is still working also. Sure hope he doesn't succumb to the Relentless Rosita. Jeez, what is HER problem!? Even her theme music annoys me.

Love your way of telling a story, but this was especially delightful:

"He tells her he has to go get some things from his house, so Renata gives him a set of keys; this is his apartment now. Meanwhile, the cat is secretly texting Teo."

Yep, Teo is looking like a better match for Renata, rather than the cosseted, clueless Guille. Teo understand the necessity of working and saving, and he also knows how to cook! Guille knows nothing of all that. Nor does Valentina for that matter. But she has other heartbreaks to deal with right now.

Glad that Sergio apologized and made amends but still....tough situation.

But great recap. Thanks Rgv Chick.

Still frigid here, but lovely snow as well. #lookingonthebrightside
 

JudyB I have NO idea what is wrong with Rosita.
I just hopeo it is contagious.
 

Haha! Are you hoping Keila will catch it, Kirby? Don't blame you.
 

Great work, RGVChick, and thanks.

I was starting to tune out during the last scene with Johny. He doesn't fool any of us so it is difficult for me to believe he can fool anyone else in this tale. He is so repulsive.

That security guard better have a passport to a place with lots of good plastic surgeons.

Rosita is a sick little girl. She's the second coming of Monica Lewinsky.

I wonder whether Valentina will see the shrink. If she does and s/he says there is nothing wrong with her this would be a good occasion for no HIPPA laws an the good doc telling Eva to mind her own beeswax.

Work a month for no pay on trial? Is that even legal? Guille would have been a fool to agree to that. I also think his "allergy" is psychosomatic. It's how his subconscious is dealing with this major life change.
 

Well, I believe working for no pay for a month or so is called an "internship". A lot of people do it here during summer vacation as a way of prepping for a real offer after graduation from college.

I was horrified at how effective Johny's BS was with Lupita, but we have to remember that this is a woman with very little education and social experience. And I'm sure she knows nothing whatsoever about banks and how they operate. I just cringed when she was so flattered by Johny's smarm, but it seemed believable to me.
 

Kirby: I see that Psychopath Johnny is going to target Juls & her remaining family OMG.

I also hope Karma hits Eva soon because this is getting annoying.

Judy: I'm confident Lupita will NOT be long for this world.

UA: If Rosita is Monica Lewinsky, then who's the Latino Bill Clinton ?
 

Lupita is stupid.
 

Thanks, Kirby, JudyB, Susanlynn, UA and Steve. Lots of food for thought with this episode and great comments.

Kirby, I don't know how else to describe Stoopi-ta (Lupita) other than pathetically stupid. First, she opens the door without even asking who it is, then she believes every word Johny tells her. First flag should have been when he asked about Jacobo, especially knowing that the narcos are looking for him (El Chino). All I can do is shake my head.

Susanlynn, Johny had an encounter with Death Chick when she showed up in place of a hooker he was expecting, but she left without going inside (don;t remember why). I'm still wondering why she went to see him...surprised he didn't!

Rosita is definitely relentless and sick. Can she really just be lusting after Beltrino or does she have something else in mind?

JudyB, I share that soft spot for Beltrino. He is starting to get a conscience and that is good. I'm hopeoing he will be one who will be rid of his butterfly at the end.

UA, Servando making the sign of the cross was spooky. I was expecting him to turn around and shoot the guy in his forehead.
 

Anon, you can say that as many times as you want...pleeease!
 

My bad, but I read all the comments before even reading the recap. So RGV, I'll be back with praise later.

I read the comments first wondering if anyone had remarked about Vale's predicament at the university--all her "friends" abandoning her and the rest of the student body singling her out as a turncoat. My thought: Is Vale the only young woman up to and including 2018 at the university to come out or be outed as gay? Lordy, they all acted as if she had leprosy. Doesn't Vale know any other students who are LGBT, for heavens' sakes? I feel sorry for her feelings of loneliness since her own feelings about her sexuality are brand new and she's trying to deal with that. Eva coming down on her like she did didn't help. At least she has Guille in her corner, although he moved out (though probably soon to move back in--missing Silvie's cooking and laundry skills). LCJ has sort of come to terms with her decision--I remember his saying to Cam that his daughter's sexuality was not as big a problem as the girl she's involved with is his other supposed daughter.

OK, back to coffee and recap. Hasta luego.
 

Anita, ITA agree with you regarding the reaction Vale got at the university. I've always thought gays in Mexico "came out" and were more accepted as a group long before they were in the US. So yes, the reaction was quite unrealistic. She does have Guille in her corner and LCJ as well. When LCJ was talking to her at the poolside, he even advised her to look to her friends...and the female friend she had when she told him she felt all alone.
 

All Vale has to do is tell her former friends that "If you had been sleeping with Lucho, you would give up on boys too. Hrumpf." Get two birds with one stone.

I really can not figure why this show is making a big deal out of something which has not been a big deal for decades. Somebody is trying to make a statement or send a message, but that is like Home Depot trying to tell you that they now have those new things called Light Bulbs.

At least they are both attractive and feminine. 'Whoever' didn't ruin that.
 

RGV--Halfway through this thorough accounting--didn't realize we were both on the same page. I wonder why leprosy came to mind for both of us. To be continued.
 

Wow is right, RGV. Thank you for the recap. Such detail, down to Mayela's ripe silk dress. She did NOT come off as sincere.

Loved all your asides, and, like JudyB, enjoyed Tlocayo texting Teo. It was the best.
But also on my list are:
Teo going to prepare his rebound kit. It will probably include some hot salsa.
Begging Beltie to tell the Patio what's on the USB, which I had completely forgotten about.
This one is sidebar-worthy, "If Barb had Silvina's gifts, Death Chick would be working for HER.
Telling Guille, "You go boy, keep living the dream."
On observing Lucia, "As she tries to remember which side of the suitcase the clean underwear is packed in." I commiserate. I use "pods" when I pack and they are not color coded. Half a dozen zips later, I find my underwear.
...and last among the best, LCJ hangs up on Cam "Which usually does not mean okey dokey."

How many ways are there left to rename Stupy-Loopy. All I can say, is why after all the times she's leaned on Panchito, she decides to call LCJ, the very person the assassins are looking for. It was certainly not after what Juls said about Panchito being crazy about her--it was to give Viewerville that twist we've been dreading--to separate the two leads (can't call them either protags or antagos). Pretty sure in my prediction that Luci and LCJ aren't going anywhere after he gets back. He's certainly not going to tell her the whole sordid story of his death within the 4 (or more) walls of the Carvajal estate with Fabricio snooping around.

Susanlynn--I'd forgotten about DC's late night visit to Johny, thinking she was his "package" for the night. She is shown with her pocket watch ticking away, so Johny's days may be numbered. How pathetic that Johny went looking for her specifically the next time he visited Madam's Bordello. P.S. It's been snowing all day, cute little flakes, but it's STICKING in this frigid weather.

Johny continues to spread his slimy trail, like the slugs in my garden.

WHO will General Lopez turn out to be!!!!
Must See TV.


 

Kirby--What a perfect riposte for Vale to use against Lucho. Ha!
 

I expect that soon the security guard will sleep with the fishes.

I expected more of Lupita. She knows the cartel has targeted her and therefore should be suspicious of any stranger.

Totally agree about the reaction of Valentina's classmates. In the language of their generation that was so 30 years ago. Eva's reaction was also outdated and makes me wonder again about the older skelatons in her closet.
 

I like Panchito. He has been very protective of Lupy..took a beating for her. He's the real galan in my book. I

 

Pancho is waaaaay too good a catch for that brain dead Loopy organism. No wonder she was with a hit man. Like 'Sense enough to come in out of the rain.' NOT

Hello Susie, I wonder when that torch he carries for Loopy will go out. He is over at Milly Gross's now, and I wonder if he is cooling off on Loop. Couldn't blame him. He would do better sending some of that protection and caring over to his kids. And if he is lonely, Keila is single, and at the very least understands the basics of life.
 

Do we know what Panchito does for a living? He spent an awful lot of time either at Mil-a-gross's place, taking Loopy out to an al fresco lunch, hospital baby-sitting time and then house sitting during the day. Does he actually work?

While I think Pancho is too good for either Loopy or Brigida, I don't know if Keila would look at him twice, were he a man that works with his hands. I think she's out for some non-blood-staining white collar jockey in IT, maybe.

P.S. I've liked Pancho since the first time he walked into view, but Loopy just isn't someone I'd think he had a fix on in high school. I've detested his name. I see him coming out of the blue on a horse wearing two bandoliers and guns blazing.

Still snowing. Slowed down to the point they look like fake flakes on a musical sound stage.
 

Anita: The truth is that those so-called "friends" of Vale never gave an expletive of her.

On STUPID Lupita: WTH was she thinking believing Johnny's lies & manipulations ? Does this idiot have a death wish ?

Kirby: Who's Keila ?

Susanlynn: Sounds like Eva has something planned for Vale: which will likely include sending her to a Catholic convent.

BIGY question is what will Lucho do to Juls or Vale ?

UA: Bold Prediction: The Security Guard will get whacked soon & eventually Lupita.

 

Keila is Renata's hot friend from Carvajal. She sat near Renata, behind her. I believe she is Eva's secretary. My future ex-wife.
 

Kirby... "My future exwife." Thanks for the giggle.
 

Kirby: You better go down there & propose to Keila.

Susanlynn: I had to ROFLOL when I saw that comment.
 

Kirby and steve, I really appreciate any and all chances for a smile or a laugh. Thanks.
 

Busy afternoon, but I made it back. Looks like you all were having some fun LOL

Anita, "Pretty sure in my prediction that Luci and LCJ aren't going anywhere after he gets back." It would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Kirby, so how many ex-wives will that be? ;-)
