Mi marido tiene más familia Friday 2/15/19 Capítulo 109 Letting the Dust Settle and the Plots Brew

Susana calls Dani and tells her about her wedding predicament. Can she help her out? Dani takes one look at the babies and decides she could use more money. Yes! She can help Susana out. Susana is relieved.

Neto lectures his kids that the end never justifies the means because everything can get so quickly out of control.

Guido is still very upset back at the distillery. Luigi tries to calm him down saying it was only a prank. They are only children. Guido insists they could have killed him. He blames it all on the dog.

Pancho tells his kids that he thought they had all learned their lesson with the fireworks incident. Julio insists this was different. Pancho disagrees and explains it is all the same.

Yolo thinks the prank was just an eye for an eye. Neto says that is how everyone ends up blind. He explains that you fix things by talking to people.

Pancho says somebody has to put a stop to this all of this and if they won't,  he will.



Temo says he never wanted to get all of the kids involved in the first place but he was immature and let jealousy get the best of him. Temo asks Pancho not to scold the kids.

Yolo tells Neto that the twins are innocent. They just wanted to help her. Neto says that is no justification. Her kissing a boy who already has a partner was as bad as she could get no matter how you look at it. So, the one who will be most affected will be her. Neto asks the twins why they didn't come to him to ask about some good solutions.  They have always talked things over.

Pancho tells Temo that the mistake of one person can be like a chain dragging everyone in. Temo agrees and admits to Ari and the kids that what he did was very immature.

The twins tell Neto that they made a mistake and it won't happen again. Neto hopes not.

Guido says they are all against him.  That building is cursed.

Neto tells the kids that he knows they do not like living in the apartment building but it is the only place that they have so they have to value it.

Pancho hugs Temo and looks at Ari. and the rest of the kids. They are growing up.  This has been a lesson for everyone.

Neto needs his kids to behave.

Pancho says the family has lots of things ahead of them. First, there is the wedding. They need peace.

Neto wants to get their life back and their happy ending all together.  They all end up apologizing.

Pancho's group apologizes and there is a group hug.

Luigi states that the kids humiliated Guido and smirks. Guido tells him he is going to get rid of all of the kids, Neto and, Imelda. Luigi asks if he really means all of them and asks Guido what  he is so worried about. Guido remembers addressing the ghostly silhouettes of his parents telling them they were dead and that he had killed them.  Luigi tells him it would be better for him to focus on Massimo's business empire instead. He will get the  majority of the shares.  Guido makes it clear that that is not enough for him. He wants it all. Luigi asks if Guido is now Linda's novio. Guido says no but he was on the way to see her when he ran into those hateful kids.

Linda is at the hospital when  she gets a text from Guido. He is apologetic for not visiting her but he has been sick, She asks if he wants her to come and visit. He would like that.

Neto is still lecturing as he feeds the kids. They are trying to get ahead so they should be helping each other and not causing quarrels with other people. Santi and Andi agree and apologize again.  Neto tells them that after supper, they are all going downstairs to clean the mess they made in the hallway. He has to go to work.  Yolo asks if Guido will be angry with him since he is his boss.  Neto hopes not. Pancho comes by to let Neto know that he gave the kids a good talking to and Neto says he did the same. Pancho will supervise the cleaning of the hall. At the same time, he gives Neto an invitation to his wedding. Neto says the only problem is that they have nothing formal to wear. Pancho reminds them that clothes don't make the person and however they come will be just fine.

Audifaz tells Imelda that Neto has the same character as the rest of the members of the family. She tells him to stop seeing things that are not there.  Audi says that is not so easy because Neto could be this son. Imelda cuts him off so she doesn't have to hear any more about it. It was an immorality. Yolotl was older than he and took advantage of his innocence. Audi says he knew exactly what he was doing. Yolotl was not guilty of anything. He fell in love with her like a mad man.
If it hadn't been for Eugenio and her, the whole history of the Córcega's might have been different.  He thinks back to seeing Eugenio and Yolotl as novios but he couldn't help that Yolotl had entered his heart. He sees Eugenio and Yolotl embracing and Yolotl motioning to him  over Eugenio's shoulder literally behind Eugenio's back. Audi insists that Yolotl did not deserve what they did to her.  Imelda reminds him it is all in the past. He needs to focus on his family, on his ex and on his son Arqui.

Ari is till telling Temo about what he started and how it could have ended even in a worse way. Temo is one of the most important people in Ari's life. Temo says he wasn't thinking. Ari agrees and adds that nobody was thinking.  It was just that what Temo did was so ugly. Temo then admits that he called Diego to ask him for some advice. Ari cannot believe what he is hearing and is not happy.

Imelda tells Audi that Ari is on a bad path. Polita and Temo are bad influences but she and Tulio are going to fix that. Audi is angry with Imelda and Tulio because they were supposed to threaten "his" Polita but not really go through with anything. Imelda goes off telling him that Polita was too close to Ari and while Audi was out there somewhere lost to all of them. She tells Audi that he failed at  home as the head of the family. If they do nothing, Arqui will end up worse than Ari.  Audi doesn't want to cause any more pain. That is not the Christian way. He reminds Imelda that both of them have committed some very serious sins. Imelda says although it is hard, she always makes her decisions for the well being of their family.

Frida and Eugenio sing to the babies. Eugenio talks about his daughters and son as babies.  Blanca listens.  She talks about how she misses Robert.  Eugenio mentions Neto and tells Blanca that for a moment he had confused him with Robert. The hugged as if he were his son. Neto is a good kid. Blanca looks concerned hearing that.

Pancho gets the kids all working as a group cleaning up the hall.

Grecia pays a visit to Dani at home to start her therapy. Dani just feels sad. Grecia says that is normal after a loss of that magnitude to feel sad one day and even sadder the next as as life goes on. There will be plenty of challenges ahead. Grecia asks Dani how Gabriel would have continued on if she had died instead of him.  She tells Dani she can make sure her life honors Gabriel. Grecia makes her repeat that living her life is not betraying Gabriel's memory.

When the kids are done cleaning Andi, Santi and Julio  get into it.  Ari stops them. Pancho supports him and tells them all that now they are going to make peace with each other. They are all going to shake hands.  NOBODY wants to. Pancho insists that they call truce and just do it. They  end up each putting one hand in a circle and cheering for PEACE. Julio moans that Lupita didn't help. Pancho has to tell him she wasn't involved in any of this. They all go to heir apartments. Temo wants to talk to Ari but Ari doesn't want to talk to him.

Diana tries to cheer Hugo up about losing his job.  It wasn't his fault and he was doing such a good job. She doesn't want to see him like this. He says he just needs his own time and space. He is sure she will do really well. He kisses her hand.

Axel talks seriously with Casandra at work.  She thinks that he really isn't interested in his job. He doesn't seem to be interested in the feelings of others either. Her sister Clarisa is in love with him.  and he broke her heart and Dr. Axel affected her health. Axel says that was never his intention. He didn't know he had an infection. If there is nothing else, she tells him she has to leave.

The doctor has good results for Linda. It looks like she did not contract chlamydia. She is clearly relieved. The doctor says there is one more test to take in a week  to confirm his findings but this is a good sign. She just wants to awaken from this nightmare.

Tavo beings Catalina a bouquet of flowers at work.  Dani arrives to see Susana. Catalina chews out Clarisa for having lost all of  their suppliers for the wedding. Tavo tries to rein Catalina in.  Clarisa understands and blames being so distracted on the death of Gabriel.  Catalina apologizes to her for speaking to her as she did. Dani announces that she and Clarisa are going to take charge of the business.

Pancho is there and Susana lets him know that they have to reorganize parts of the wedding because some of  their some of their providers have cancelled on them. Pancho is shocked. Susana and Pancho know that Dani is capable fo taking over but don't want her to feel she is being forced into anything. Dani says she isn't. Clarisa will be working with her. Dani knows that she needs to take charge of their wedding in memory of Gabriel. She wants them to be very proud of her.

Sebas and Julio do some internet research on Guido since they heard what he said about his parents. They find news articles written in Italian.  The articles talk about Guido's parents having died in a strange accident. Temo sees what they are doing and shuts down the investigation.  It is not a good thing to be nosing  around other people's business.  He leaves with the lap top.

Linda is visiting Guido who has a bad cold. that he says he is going to KILL ASAP. She tells him how the first test showed she was chlamydia free.  He thinks that is great news and thanks her for coming.  She reminds him of his Nonno who always took care of him when he was ill as a child . She asks about his parents. he tells her that because he had so many illnesses as a child his parents told him he wan't much of a man and it as as if he wasn't really their child. Linda is sorry to hear what happened and  and thinks they are similar. She tells of her own experience growing up feeling like she  and her siblings simply did not exist because her parents were so consumed with their lost child Juan Pablo.  Juan Pablo was the pain that united them all. That is why she has always been trying to get their attention.  Guido comes over and tells her he also wanted "to exist" for his parents. He wanted them to love him.  Linda adds that even though the pain is over, she doesn't feel any differently.  She feels like she is never enough and they are never proud of her. Guido feels exactly the same way. He knows it is really hard to fight to be seen.  He wanted his parents to love him. Maybe destiny brought them together to release them from their pain.  He takes her hands and says she exists for him. What does she think of existing together? She smiles. They hug.

Dani is having a hard time juggling things around for the wedding because the date is so close.
She asks Susana and Pancho what details are they open to changing. Susana says it depends on the details. The church is a big NO as well and the plan fort he reception. is a BIG NO.  She has lots of RSVP's some of which are very important business contacts.  Pancho reminds her this is a wedding and not some foo foo event. She agrees but some of the guests are important.  She wants things to turn out well because it is their wedding. Pancho says the wedding could be more relaxed because they are in Oaxaca. Susana says just as long as relaxed doesn't mean disorganized. Her problem is that he seems to be having a problem with even a little bit of elegance.  He says their wedding is for themselves. She disagrees. It is a time to share with the most important people in their lives. She wants something lovely. She admits that their tastes are very different.

Guido starts sneezing and the hug is over. He doesn't want to give her the flu. Linda says it seems they both have some emptiness in them.  Guido thinks all people do. The important thing is to find out how to fill that emptiness up. He thanks her for coming by. She says that is what friends are for. He tells her she is his first friend so he has to take care of her. She smiles.

Pancho suggests a local taco shop to do the catering. Susana is giving that a big NO. She wants a sit down dinner. She doesn't like  the thought of everyone waiting in a buffet line. He suggests the guests eating in shifts. Clarisa tries to get them back on track. Clarisa wonders if with all of the arguing they will end up cancelling the wedding. They answer NO! Dani has some ideas. Just let it in her hands.

Temo is panicked and has a video chat with Diego telling him how it is all out  control with Ari. Diego reminds him he won Ari's heart.  Temo says  he is paying Ari's tuition. Diego says he needs to tell Ari the truth.  Diego warns him about "trust".  He knows he loves Ari and tells him not to make the same mistakes. Temo wonders if he tells Ari the truth, will he get even angrier with him.

Ari is at school composing a love song. Fellow students hear him and stop by to listen. Then his first piano student arrives. She likes his look.

Audi comes into the bakery to see Polita. She tells him Arqui is his son and not Imelda's. Does he want her to come back to him? Polita said it was his mother who started it all. Audi says there is still time for her to change her ways. Audi says she could at least lead Ari down the  right path. There is still time for him to correct his ways and convert himself.  He says that his mother would be happy with that. Polita asks what this "conversion" thing is about. She cannot believe that he cannot accept his own son. Maybe he should "convert" himself into somebody braver.

Rufo shows up asking if they are back together.NO! Polita leaves with him to take care of business.   Audi is alone as the Rey kids come hurrying into the bakery and brush by Audi. They sit down  and talk about the placement test and how their dad told them to be obedient and responsible like Winston Churchill who said "Responsibility is the price of success".  Audi hears this and is transported back to being a a kid out with his brothers. They are in the park and he is reading. Eugenio brings him something to  drink and Tulio  hits Audi in the head because he is reading. With his mind back in the present, he fans himself with his hat.  The twins ask if he is okay. Yes, he is. He excuses himself. Yolo says all of the Córcega's are super strange.  Who would want to be like them?

Neto is working at the bar. His boss Ramón is pleased with him and sees them as a team. Crisanta comes in to drown her sorrows. She mentions having lost two men. He mentions losing his wife. She wants something to make her forget everything. Neto will help her but won't give her anything with alcohol.  He thinks she just needs a friend to listen to her. He will bring her some coffee. Well, she at least wants that to be strong.

Rufo is at Polita's watching Ari's recording. He finds it interesting and peculiar. He has never seen anything like it in his career. Polita has a fantasy of her and Ari being rich.  Rufo says her son has potential. he needs to think of how to help him make some changes. They will talk about it.

Crisanta and Neto are at a table with appetizers. She says she feels like a fool. He sees it as kindness. Well, that doesn't make her feel any better.  She says you know what they say: the world belongs to the shameless. Neto says she can win by showing the guy what a great lady  he lost. She tells him that is good advice.  She will try but no promises. Neto is a great guy and has a great big beautiful heart.  She likes him a lot. He tells her to enjoy her food.

Temo sees Ari and tells him how terrible he feels. Ari tells him not to be like that. Temo says he called Diego because he was so insecure. Ari puts his hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Ari tells Temo he isn't going to lose him. Temo asks if he forgives him. Ari asks why wouldn't he. He is the best thing he has in his life. Temo says he has something else to tell him. Temo jokingly asks if he wants another fight and after seeing Temo's reaction, he has to tell him that was a joke. Temo says he would do anything for Ari so he would be okay.  Ari says he would do the same for him.  They agree it is time for a clean slate.  They hug.

Comments:
Lots of talk and little action tonight but it was still enjoyable.

More mañana.

 

Thanks, Jarifa. Excellent recap.

Yolotl! Yesterday I was feeling so sorry for her, and today I'm laughing. She was getting it on with Eugenio and with kiddie Audifaz as well? Wow!

Well, presumably when Audi was a bit older.

:-)

Still, they did her dirty by not allowing Eugenio know she was pregnant. As for Audifaz, maybe too young to be blamed for anything. Maybe.


Cynthia, thank you for Thursday's recap. I got busy and didn't have a chance to comment though I wanted to. I had noticed Neto without his shirt and I said to myself that this, what doris called "hottie beefcake eye candy", will get the ladies commenting. Sure enough.

:-)

I'm caught up with the recaps and comments. I see I missed lots of action in recent episodes, so it's great to have such excellent recaps. Thanks, Cynthia and Jarifa!

As always, I'm hoping for something to rein in Guido and his evil ways. And, for Yolo to act more humane.

Susanlynn, I was sorry to hear about your friend Gen. Now that I'm older, I have to bear the losses of several close friends. Glad your family took you out for a Valentine's celebration.

Judy, you mentioned being bored with cooking the same things. Do you ever feel like experimenting, or is it too much effort? I wore myself out last weekend making a giant pot of soup for a church dinner.

Cynthia, thanks for sharing the story about your grandmother. I liked the comments on different versions of classisim and racism. I grew up in a small rural community. In my church congregation, there were families with English ancestry who looked down on the families with Swedish ancestry. Some people just have to find a way to feel superior. I enjoy the acceptance and sharing in our patio. Maybe snobby Yolo wants to feel superior to feel safe.
 

Can clown faced Imelda get any uglier? She cries to death over juan pablo's loss but disappears her first grandchild first? In some ways people pay for their horrible sins without realizing it, taking others down with them.

Audifaz is as deadbeat as they come. He was aware of Yolotl's pregnancy but didnt bother to look for her and he had all the time in the world to do it.

We blame Audifaz for being a horrible father but Polita should carry some of the blame too. Why the hell did she choose a horrible partner to begin with? There's the story of her being estranged with her mother and then being kicked out of her home and it seems Audifaz took advantage of that? Imelda was constantly repeating in the first season that Polita had to be very grateful to Audifaz.
 

Another incredible recap and title Jarifa.

Strewn with fragrant word flowers as I've quoted below.

“He blames it all on the dog”. He better not touch one of Hermosa’s hairs.

“Yolo asks if Guido will be angry with him since he is his boss”. Ya think? “ Neto hopes not”. We know so!

“Sebas and Julio do some internet research on Guido since they heard what he said about his parents”. So they did hear? Too bad Temo shut them down.

"As always, I'm hoping for something to rein in Guido and his evil ways. And, for Yolo to act more humane". Hope springs eternal doesn't it, La Paloma? :)

“Temo then admits that he called Diego to ask him for some advice. Ari cannot believe what he is hearing and is not happy”. Ari cringes at Temo’s jealousy, but isn’t above it himself, is he? Ari, start practicing what you preach. Seeing Temo’s torment makes me feel even more certain he is just not ready for this relationship. Adults can handle suffering for love, children can not and should not.

Seeing Hugo with cake smeared all over his face, obviously feeding his depression was troublesome. He’s never had any confidence and Diana took his likely one shining moment away from him. Hugo has been pampered and spoiled to no end by Cat, but Diana controls him like a child.

andy, I was a little bit surprised by the flashback. Yolotl garnered my sympathy but I was confused as to why she was playing with a child while "with" Eugenio. Flirting is one thing but...Imelda's cruelty has become a matter of course. And while redemption for Audi seems unlikely, it is Imelda who is the real villain here and while not guilty of murder, is as culpable as Guido, for her crimes against her family, whom she purports to love.

Jarifa, thank you for telling every story in such clear, concise and beautifully written detail.

Diana
“Maybe he should "convert" himself into somebody braver”. You go Polita.

 

Thank you, Jarifa.

La Paloma, hope you and yours are okay. Just like our telenovelas, life is full of challenges that increase as we get older. It is what it is.
Well, the sun is shining , and I need to get chores done before meeting a friend for lunch. Sometimes we have to be each other's lifelines.

Have a good Saturday, all.
 

Good morning Patio. Haven't seen this yet but I'll take Jarifa's word for it that there is more talk than action. I did like hearing the morality lessons as in:

"An eye for an eye" and then you end up blind.

And cringed when I read about all the fussing and fighting over the details of the wedding. I have never understood why people want a big, complicated "do". Everybody ends up being stressed out and IT'S JUST ONE DAY. Better to focus on making the marriage itself work over the years and years to come. Just my opinion, obviously. But after all, this is her second marriage, his third. Again why all the needless kerfuffle? Just get married already!

La Paloma, I have been trying new recipes but I'm limited to low-fat, plant-based recipes because of my husband's heart issues and most of those I don't find very exciting. But I soldier on.

And I had to smile when you mentioned the "English" looking down on the "Swedish" in your small country church. My maternal grandfather was having a genealogist look up his origins, and when he found out there was a Norwegian somewhere in his background, he was so furious about "the dumb Swede" that he fired the man and refused to pay him.

Life took its revenge. Grandfather also refused to believe that he needed an operation for his inflamed appendix and died of sepsis in his 50's.

Will look forward to watching this later on.

Susanlynn, wishing you a sunny day filled with friends. #winterwillendsoon

Jarifa, thanks and have a great day in windy cold Chicago.
 

Jarifa: Guido wants to kill the kids too ?

When are Daniel Arenas & Zuria Vega coming back ?
 


Question 1–What happened to Fernando? Let him appear at least once.
Question 2 When did Catalina and her doctor beau make up?
Question 3 Does Dave’s face appear more scared than before.
Question 4 Why didn’t Imelda in first season? Her venom is appalling.
 

Thanks, Jarifa. Missed watching but now I can "see" it.

Oh no, the dog's in trouble. I sure hope Sebas and Julio use their stubbornness for good and keep investigating Guido despite Temo.

Hope we get the triangle from Yolotl's point of view. But I'm not feeling too good about her cheating on Eugenio. Gosh how will Neto take the fact that mom did two brothers.
 

Thanks, all for stopping by the patio and your always insightful and interesting comments. I am out to shovel some snow. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️More later.
 

You go girl! Right now our "snow" is sleet, but we'l see what happens later on.
 

Thank you for your recap, Jarifa. Hubby and I would welcome some snow right now. More grey skies, rain, and rain, and rain, and rain. Ugh.....

What I keep wondering is ... for what sort of test does Linda have to come back in a week. That just seems odd to me.

I won't be upset if Guido kills Imelda (eek!) but please, leave those other people alone. And Guido better not touch a hair on Hermoso's body, either.

Imelda seems to think she is God, calling the shots on what is "best" for everyone and making up her own rules as she goes through life. Ugh.
 

Andy, that scene with Yolotl beckoning to Audifaz was something else. The writers are so good at making these characters more complex than what i would expect.

LaPaloma, so glad that you have caught up. It would be nice if Guido got his sooner rather than later before he can cause more damage or death.

Anon, I will disagree with you about Polita making a bad choice. Audi wasn't the greatest provider but was still likeable in season one and had basically rescued Polita who was very young at the time from a bad situation. The problem is he changed just like people do in real life. That is not her fault.

Diana, ITA about your take on Imelda being just "as culpable as Guido" in her own way. IMHO, Diana never should have married Hugo. She has no respect for him.

susanlynn, thanks for stopping by the patio!

JudyB, the snow and ice just keep going. A little here and a little there, just enough to make it obnoxious outside. The "folksy" philosophy and humor sure makes this one fun.

Steve, Daniel Arenas and Zuria Vega will return later in the season.

Anon, Fernando was back for Dave's first communion but I agree it would be nice if we saw more of him.

Niecie, I would love to see the triangle from Yolotl's point of view. My question is: Was Yolotl fooling around with just the two brothers?

doris, it seemed like another chlamydia test to make sure. That makes no sense to me, but what do I know? Poor Hermoso being on Guido's hit list.
 

Hi Everyone, I can't add much more here than what has already said. Thank you Jarifa for detailed recap and parsing everything out so well for us.

I am wondering what is going to happen if Eugenio finds that Yolotl was also sleeping with his little brother? That's really gross! And it's not going to make Neto feel very good about his mother's antics way back when? So WHO is his daddy!
 

Cynthia, "gross" says it all. : )
