Caray, Caray!

This show jumped around a lot, I suspect it was another cut and paste of two different episodes.
 

Yes, unfortunately, it was another combo plate of two capítulos, very jumpy and not done very well. Anyway, your most excellent recap made sense of it all and I thank you for it!

That being said, was good seeing more of the comic relief left in and less of the dramatic dialogues. Poor Susana and Pancho could not get a moment alone. They thought they had it made until Crisanta and crew started knocking. That alone should have been reason enough for Pancho to want a vasectomy. The sour candy incident was a hoot, too. I loved Pancho getting the crowd into having the policeman taste it. Then there was good old Nonno who has no self control when it comes to the ladies.

No surprise Audifaz was still the deadbeat dad he had been for a while. I wanted to slap Imelda’s hand when she had the nerve to put it out for the rent. What a witch! Gabriel looking all blotchy and sweaty was not a hopeful sight but at least he told Guido off the best he could when he discovered the truth. How long until Dani gets to her phone to get some help? Let us hope they do not butcher tonight’s action too badly.

We are actually above freezing this a.m. but the temps will be dropping all day. A little rain, a little ice and a dusting of snow by the evening. Not too bad.

 

This was exceptional Cynthia, thank you.

"Mind you, she is fully clothed and it doesn’t look like anything real ‘lovin’ happened either" had me smiling away.

"Tavo is crushed as Catalina says she wants to discard any idea of marriage" and Susana saying she doesn't want more children were a bit of a role reversal but I appreciate these women standing up for themselves. I did feel for Tavo though as it's understandable he would wish to marry as he found the woman he loves. I suspect Cat may change her mind as Tavo's disappointment was clear and transparent.

Imelda going to Polita's was just cringeworthy. A monster.

I also found Susana and Pancho endearing although I think the pot was simmering and hadn't yet come to a boil! :)

I liked that Gabe noticed right away that the mezcal was off. I missed the last few minutes but am thrilled Gabe now knows Guido is off balance. But will he put two and two together in terms of how he is feeling? You may realize someone is trying to cheat you but to actually kill you is another matter entirely.

"Deadbeat dad" is perfect for Audi Jarifa. I am not getting any whiff of redemption for him.

I would like Guido to be unmasked so more happy stories can be front and center. Where the heck is Gabe???

Looking forward to Blanca and Dave's return and of course to Dani's successful delivery of her triplets.

Thank you so much Cynthia.

Good grief! Sounds like it was another hot mess of a slice and dice episode, but you made perfect sense of it Cynthia. Thanks also for the screen caps. I agree with Andy, Osorio needs to call in some Korean writers to get this train back on track.

Thanks for all you and Jarifa do to keep the patio warm and humming away.

Diana, loved your "pot was simmering but hadn't yet come to a boil".
 

Judy: I noticed Dani is giving birth & nobody has come to her aid yet ?

Diana: Not shocked Guido told Gabe to his face about his evilness & deadlier plots against Gabe & Dani.

Jarifa: Is anybody going to stop Guido from adding to the Body Count ?
 

Thanks, Cynthia, for putting the puzzle pieces together for us.I fell asleep on the sofa and missed everything. This show is becoming a tangled web. Is Gabe Soto really going to show up? It feels to me as though the show has already jumped the shark with the two new weird characters who just popped up out of nowhere. And that was the speediest pregnancy ever.
 

I watch this on demand so am only on episode 68 but the recaps and comments are a great help. I have trouble understanding everything that is said in Spanish so the recaps fill me in. Thank you.
 

Thanks, Cynthia.

I'm annoyed at the trauma the script is putting Dani through. We know Dani would've had a phone by her side at all times at this stage.

Susanna's hair was kind of mussed, so as Diana well said at least "the pot was simmering." I should've known better, but I'm shocked that Pancho wanted yet another kid. Three cheers for him readily agreeing with Susanna's request for a vasectomy. That's sure to be funny.

Sorry for any cuts to the comic stuff, but my interest in the show just shot upward with Gabe unmasking Guido. Not only is Guido psycho, he's plumb stupid for watering down the mezcal. That would lead to the whole company collapsing. Interesting that Gabe pointed out he too had issues with his own father and that his mom died young. Too bad Gabe doesn't realize Guido (probably) had a hand in his (Guido's) parents' death.
 

Niecie: I noticed that Susana Gonzalez's hair is a bit weird, but I guess she likes it.

Thank you, Cynthia, for another excellent recap. It must be getting harder for you and Jarifa to recap these episodes with all the cuts.

Despite everything, this was an enjoyable capítulo. Pancho and Susana were a hoot.

Mássimo/Nonno is plain crazy for wanting to date these two women, especially Imelda. Imelda did shock me a bit though. In the earlier scene where they had their first kiss she actually hoisted herself up a bit to kiss Mássimo over the table. Still, he would be much better off with Crisanta, who is feisty but not bitter and judgmental as is Imelda.

And what is it with Mássimo anyway? Does he do this everywhere he goes or is the Oaxacan air an aphrodisiac for him?

I had to cheer for Gabriel, the way he found the problem with the mezcal and confronted crazy Guido. But I didn't like that Guido kept getting closer to Gaby, who kept backing up a bit. He is sick and in poor physical shape at this point, but lets hope it doesn't get to that.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Has anyone noticed that Guido is dressed like Pinocchio? His nose should grow every time he lies and deceives people.

But at least Pinocchio had good intentions and just made mistakes. Guido is just plain evil and is driven by pure selfishness and anger.
 

Interesting observation about Guido’s Pinocchio like outfits, Cynthia.
 

Thank you for your recap, Cynthia. I don't have much to add beyond what has already been said.

Pancho's makeover was not too extreme and I see it did it carry over into this episode.

Dani should be a lot bigger for someone carrying triplets, even if they arrive a month early. There was a young woman in our neighborhood who had triplets and she was HUGE.
 

Doris, I agree Daniela should be lots bigger for someone who is supposed to be carrying triplets.
