Mi marido tiene más familia Friday 1/18/19 Capítulo 90 The Girl Who Says What She Thinks--OR--Guido Lies in Wait
Outside of Crisanta's shop, Crisanta's assistant asks what she is thinking about. Crisanta is getting ready to go on a date but she will not tell her assistant with who. She is renewing herself and her business. She asks her assistant for some ideas on how how to modernize her store. Soon thereafter, a saleswoman comes by the shop with a pink suitcase. She opens it up and Crisanta thinks that the contents are cool. The saleswoman says they have different sizes and different colors and asks if she is afraid . . . It turns out that the star of all of their products is a stuffed bunny!
As they work on three panda cakes for the gender reveal party, Linda asks her father when he found out that he was going to have a bonus baby (her). He says they have talked about it at least ten times recently. She thinks it is good exercise for his memory. Eugenio gets all depressed wondering if he will even remember the party. Linda tells him when her mother gets back he will feel better. He also needs to remember that Grecia has arrived to help him.
When Pancho gets home, Susana is so happy and excited about Axel giving her away. There is so much to plan including the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Pancho has a surprise for her, too. Grecia has arrived. The friends hug. Susana missed her so much. Grecia is her best friend really her only friend. Otherwise it is just her and her mom. Pancho asks what about him but then concludes he prefers to be the husband and not the friend. They chuckle. Grecia says work kept them apart but now they are together and she is happy to help her brother. Grecia feels like she is starting a new chapter of her life.
Crisanta is out with Nonno aka Massimo (which means the greatest in Italian) for coffee. She wants to know when she is going to get to meet his family since since have been going out fo a while. He has a "no hurry" type of attitude. Now is the time for some really good food. She just would like to know the last name of the man she is falling in love with. He is so happy to hear whose words, feels exactly the same but doesn't offer up any other information. Crisanta warns him he had better not forget what he is telling her. He puts up his hand like a boy scout. Massimo excuses himself for a moment and goes upstairs where he is entertaining Imelda at the same time. He has brought her a mirror as a gift so she can look at those eyes that he loses himself in. She reminds him about the gender reveal party. He says he will be there. They are in love with each other.
Susana asks how Grecia and Pancho met. Grecia says he crossed her path. Pancho says she hit him. They chat happily about the accident. Pancho leaves them alone to go pick up the kids at school. Grecia likes Pancho. Susana is happy because her kids accept Pancho, her mom is healthy and now Grecia is there to help her brother. Grecia isn't too happy with the color of her maid of honor dress. Whoops! She said what she thought! Grecia corrects her answer by saying that she is sure the dress will be to her liking and laughs. She would do anything for her friend. Grecia wants to organize her bachelorette party. Susana says no because she knows Grecia too well and there will be children involved. Grecia says No! Susana repeats herself: there will be kids. Okay. . .
Massimo excuses himself from Imelda for a few minutes to make a call. He kisses her hand and goes back down to Crisanta who is eating dessert. Massimo explains his disappearance to an upset stomach. She tells him he needs a bicarbonate. He loves that she worries about him. She loves his sweet talking her. He has to go running back to the bathroom supposedly. Massimo disappears upstairs. He asks Imelda if she wants a soft drink. He makes up some poetry and runs downstairs again. He asks Crisanta the same thing with the same poem. "Tú eres como mi refresco de cola (you are like my cola drink) E io un heladito (and I a little ice cream) /porque cuando me tocas (because when you touch me) Me derrito (I melt)." He tells Crisanta he has to go back to work but he has told the restaurant staff to order her a taxi. He goes upstairs and escorts Imelda out literally behind Crisanta's back.
At the distillery, Guido is on the phone telling someone that patience is the best virtue. Everything is ready.
Everyone is at the gender reveal party. The cakes are out and are cut. There will be two girls and one boy. Nonno is happy that the Mussi name will live on.
Grecia asks Susana how she feels about her next wedding. Susana is not nervous about the wedding but is more concerned about the living arrangements afterwards as one family under one roof. She will also have to try hard not to be seen as Cinderella's wicked stepmother. Grecia reminds her it is all about communication. Susana will be a great example. Susana sees a tattoo behind Grecia's ear. It says IRAE. Grecia tells Susana it means renewal in Latin. That is who she is. After everything that happened, she can only try to forge on ahead.
On the playground, Ari thanks Julio and Lupita for helping him. Sebas is already to record the event to send to Dave as proof. Temo arrives with Pancho. Ari welcomes him to "their" moment. Temo doesn't know what is going on.
At the gender reveal party, Dani and Gabriel thank everyone for their baby name suggestions but they have already come up with names. The boy will be named Gabriel as a continuation of the family tradition; one girl will be Lucía in honor of Gabriel's mother; the other girl will be Eugenia after Eugenio. Eugenio gets confused and is ready to cut the cakes. At that point, Dani knows something is wrong with her father. Eugenio tells Dani he has Alzheimer's.
Ari tells Temo that after all of this time, he cannot wait one more minute. He knows he is bad with words so he will let his music do the talking. His heart always speaks through his music. Temo adds Ari's saying that the heart is never wrong. Temo and Pancho smile. It is a flash mob all around Temo as Ari performs "Juegos de amor" (Love Games). There are rainbow banners and the message is clear. Ari proclaims he and Temo to be "ArisTemo". Temo agrees and they hug. All the kids perform.
Grecia is all serious and tearful as she talks to Susana. She says that Susana knows what is is for her being here again. Susana tells her she is not her fears. Even though she wants to look ahead, Grecia sometimes feels that her secret is going to sink her. There is not a single day that she does not fight against her fears but is sure they will never over come her.
Temo feels like he is in a dream. He tells Ari it will not be easy because the world is no ready for them. Ari wants him to be at his side and does not care what anybody else thinks. They are "ArisTemo" and together they will change a little of the world. They put on sports shirts with each other's names.
Daniela wonders why Eugenio didn't tell her before. He didn't want her or the babies affected by any of this. She wants to know what they can do. Eugenio says a specialist friend of Susana's is going to come to help. They will fight as hard as they can. He didn't want to worry her because she has her own life. He assures her he will be the best grandpa ever.
Grecia asks about Eugenio's other brothers. Susana says there is Tulio and Audifaz and one day she will tell her the whole story because it is quite incredible. Grecia says it must be difficult to try to get both families together. Susana agrees but it was her father's last wish. Susana cannot wait for her to meet Eugenio. He is such a good guy and a baker. Grecia just wants Susana to know that there is no cure for Alzheimer's. She is a neuropsychologist but not a witch. She will do what she can to slow its advance. Susana tells her she can live at her house as long as she liked. Grecia has a surprise. She will be teaching psychology at the secondary school division of the school that Sebas attends.
Pancho is so happy for Temo and Ari that he asks Ari if he can call him his son-in-law. They all kid each other about what to call each other. Pancho has only one request. No public kissing because people are not used to it and they need to take care of themselves and respect themselves. They can count on Papancho for anything. Hugo is there and says Ari and Temo have proven that love can go beyond the rules. Diana reminds him that the school has always been very inclusive. Diana loves Hugo and wants him to do well but not at her job. He will not resign. She tells him it is going to end very badly and leaves.
Susana and Grecia go over to meet Eugenio and the Córcega's. Susana introduces Grecia and they joke abut who is who according to what Grecia has been told. Massimo says Imelda is a princess. Grecia says she is more like a queen because whatever she says turns into an order. Susana tries to soften the statement by saying Imelda is clearly THE authority figure. Eugenio says his mother raised them with a strong hand. Grecia thinks that is good news because she knows that Eugenio will have no problem then doing the therapy she is going to assign him. Grecia will not give his illness time to breathe. Audi and Tulio decide between them that don't really appreciate Grecia but she is welcome as long as she helps Eugenio. Grecia tell Eugenio she will try to extend his symptom-free time as much as they can.
At home, Gabriel is suffering supposedly from gastritis and taking medication. He and Dani are still discussing Eugenio's diagnosis. Dani is upset and wonders why they cannot have just one moment of real happiness. She is afraid that Eugenio will forget them and their babies.

It was a pretty much fun episode except we know that Guido is up to no good in the background.
But I swear I just don't recognize the show anymore. It just seems like it morphed into something so different. I do miss Robert & Julieta and Blanca.
It was pretty funny to see Massimo on a "double date." LOL!
Why oh why will Gabriel not go to the doctor? Men! Hmmmf!
It definitely looks like Nonno is two-timing Crisanta and Imelda, and why? For their money? He might not be trustworthy, at all, like his grandson.
Grecia's history should be interesting. The tattoo ("After everything that happened, she can only try to forge on ahead.") and Susana's warnings about kids will be at the party. Hhhmmmm.......
Finally, Ari declared himself to Temo.
There were some light moments but darkness sadly overshadowed them.
I enjoy and are so appreciative of your sharing facts that add so much: "Massimo (which means the greatest in Italian)" and IRAE. Grecia tells Susana it means renewal in Latin".
“They are in love with each other”. Ummm, really? Imelda is carbon – Cris is the jewel.
"Massimo says Imelda is a princess. Grecia says she is more like a queen because whatever she says turns into an order". The highlight for me was this character's introduction. She seems like a strong, put together woman, bright and breezy and highly intelligent. Beautiful but unaware of it. But as you noted doris, the tattoo likely signifies something significant and likely painful. But, I feel better knowing she will help Eugenio.
The love reveal mob flash was fun and I smiled at the shirts.
Can we hope Gabi's symptoms might simply be indigestion?
"Dani is upset and wonders why they cannot have just one moment of real happiness". Her sad, tear stained face as she melted into her father's arm was almost unbearable. "Guido lies in wait" nailed it Jarifa. As you noted, fear of what Guido is brewing in the background is keeping me from enjoying much of anything. Even Susana - my absolute favorite actress.
Jarifa, thank you for yet another outstanding recap!

Took a walk outside while it was still possible to navigate the streets and the park paths but it was rough going. Sleet which will freeze as the temperature drops further. Winds and snow have not started yet, but it's BRISK!
Cynthia, I agree that this show has turned into a mostly dark and depressing tale.
Weather report...Gray , cold and just waiting for the snow and ice. Temps will drop into the single digits tomorrow night and Monday night.
Not sure about Grecia’s translation of IRAE as renewal. If it comes from the Latin noun IRA, it’s translated as ‘ wrath’
The genitive form is IRAE, ‘ of wrath’ as in the sequence for the dead, ‘Dies irae’,the day of wrath. Could be Grecia has
some disturbing or unpleasant aspects to her renewals! Just a guess.
Since I am recapping, I am happy I am enjoying this as much as I ever did and am looking forward to the new characters and plot lines as some of the old ones disappear or are out on hold. I also like that the kids are integrated so well into the main action.
A couple of days ago, RgvChick commented on how Gabriel had changed into an overly emotional version of his character lately. I am blaming the writers on this one. Too many times where the character just goes on and on and I have to FF. That being said I hope the writers are playing with us with Gabriel’s stomach pain the way they played with us with the content if the saleswoman’s suitcase.
Germán Bracco is the fine young actor playing Guido. He sure is doing a great job because he makes my skin crawl.
❄️❄️❄️We have gotten about 6” of snow so far and some lake effect snow 🌨 is on the horizon later on today. I am lucky to have a neighbor this year who insists on shoveling us all out. ☃️ Now if they just plowed the streets on a Sat. the same way they do during the week . . .
Here the sleet has turned to rain, but it will freeze into ice overnight. Don't know if we'll get much snow. But it will be tricky getting to church tomorrow.
I'm not so happy with the show, and I don't understand why they are taking a show that was hugely popular and turning in a different direction. Perhaps the ratings have fallen off lately. If so, I don't think the new thrust will help.
"Massimo" wants to woo Imelda and Crisanta, both at the same time... Does he have Alzheimer's as well, or is he just crazy? It must run in the family. And where is Papa Musi with his devilish beard? I guess he's unavailable to act here.
The NYC temperature has gone up! It looks like we might not get the coming precipitation as snow, but as rain! Yay, temp rise! Mother Nature playing tricks again. Last year there was an early snowstorm that was expected to mostly bypass us, so no great precautions were taken. Naturally Mom Nature was insulted and she dumped tons of the white stuff here causing all sorts of problems with traffic, deliveries, etc. A major embarrassment for the Mayor's office.
For this snow storm the city has done everything except mobilize the National Guard. But I will not laugh until the storm is truly gone. I wouldn't want her to think I was laughing at her.

It will be interesting to see how these new characters coming into this story change the dynamics. I do love Gabriel Soto though and I am looking forward to his debut on the show.
Thank you, Jarifa for such a wonderful retelling of the events.
I fear for Gabe. It seems like Guido is slowly poisoning him. Knowing how most men are about going to the doctor, Gabe is probably not noticing whether he is getting worse since the process is slow. Hopeoing he makes it the doctor in time.
I’m not liking Massimo. The two ladies have had enough a two-timing men.
I enjoyed the scene of the three bear cakes...very cute.
I don't want to see Gabriel slowly poisoned, but I do hope this mean Guido is now leaving Dani and the unborn triplets alone.
I'm thinking Nonno loves the chase and means no harm. That said, when Crisanta and Imelda find out, I'd hope they'd bond together to teach him a lesson.
Yay, Ari finally got off the fence. But I do think the writers went overboard with Pancho calling him son-in-law. No parent of a teenager wants to get THAT chummy with their kid's novio.
Hmmm, Susanna will soon have a house full of kids. And her best friend is not so kid-appropriate. I see hijinks coming. Looking forward to how she helps Eugenio.
But now that I'm retired I sometimes resent holidays. Stores and such are crowded with people who have a day off and I don't have the place to myself. Very annoying.
