Mi marido tiene más familia Friday 2/22/19 Capítulo 113 A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

The police take María's father away.  Guido explains to the detective that the only reason is that they were there was to make sure María was not alone. The detective says that  is what the police are for. Linda and Guido are fine. He remarks that he is stronger than she thinks he is. She thinks he is very brave.

Grecia relives being assaulted by a man. She fights back and she hits him in the head with a bottle and sees his blood  all around his head on  the floor.  She just cries and thinks of Neto's questions. She goes over and over the scene in her head.

Hermoso is ready to go home. Every child  has their own messages for the puppy. Nonno calls Dani while they are waiting to leave with Hermoso and she tells him about the dog being poisoned. Nonno wonders how. She tells him the puppy is okay now. Nonno asks her to come by and see him. It is an urgent family matter.


Blanca welcomes Neto and bis family as they come for dinner. There are usually more people besides her and Eugenio but everyone is out doing their thing.  Neto thanks them for the invitation and making him feel part of the family. Blanca looks serious. Neto asks if he said something wrong. She says no.  Andi talks about Mexican gastronomy. Blanca talks abut the delicious food thy have in Oaxaca. Eugenio talks about Blanca's cooking having the best seasoning in all  of Oaxaca. He extends and invitation to Neto and his family to come and eat anytime they want.  Neto says they won' have to be asked twice. Blanca tells them all to eat so it won't get cold. Yolo pushes her plate away because the food is so spicy. Calling her Yolotl, Eugenio tries to encourage her to give it a try. Yolo asks him to pleas call her Yolo. Eugenio doesn't get it. Blanca tells him to just call her Yolo because that is what she wants sot be called.  Blanca doesn't get what the big deal is. Yolo is a very pretty name.

Dani has brought all of the kids with her so she can talk to Nonno.  Nonno tells Dani about the kids finding the white powder in Guido's room in a locked box. Clarisa clarifies the matter by adding that Guido was hiding things from them. Nonno thinks this secret could change everything.

Back at the foundation, Linda thinks that Guido is an angel. He goes to kiss her and she backs away.  She tells him that she is not looking to go out with anyone right now. She just needs to be by herself and immerse herself in her work. She is taking time off from love. Guido understands. Linda wants them to be good friends.  Guido forces a smile and nods. He has things to do and starts to leave. She asks him not to be angry. He says he never gets angry. Angels never get angry. When he is gone, his forced smile changes into a frown.

Ari arrives at the court with Temo. He is upset. Temo tells him that he is his mother's only support so needs to be calm and strong at times like these.  Audifaz and Tulio come in.

Blanca asks why Yolo doesn't like Mexico. It is such a pretty place. Yolo explains that she feel like she doesn't belong here.  Some times, it seems that the life that she knew with her friends; her past has been erased. Neto encourages her to form new memories here.  Andi tells her if she doesn't change her attitude it is going to be all harder. Yolo understands all of that but should she pretend as ff nothing has happened?  She cannot pretend that everything is fine when it isn't. Eugenio starts talking about memories and having Alzheimer's. It is never too late is to create a happy past. His life is a tribute to all of his memories of his children and grandchildren. Neto agrees. His family is his life, also. Yolo starts to cry and gets up to leave. Neto grabs her and hugs her. She wants to be happy again. He promises she will be.

Before the judge enters  the courtroom, Polita, Ari and Audifaz and Tulio argue across the across the courtroom. Temo tries to help Ari keep his cool. When the judge comes in, Ari gets a text from is school hat his tuition has been paid in full.  He shows Temo  and tells him that he doesn't understand because he hasn't paid anything yet. The custody hearing gets underway. *(They didn't tell you that the judge eventually found in favor of Polita for the time being and she retained custody of little Arqui).

Guido gets home and wonders why everyone is there.  Dani explains that they were on their way home from the vet. Some one poisoned Hermoso. Then Nonno called and wanted to see her.  Nonno is upset.  He wants to talk to Guido right now. Dani, Guido and Clarisa accompany him into his office.   They close the door. Julio thinks there is something weird with Guido. All of the kids try to listen.

On their honeymoon, Susana and Pancho are each on their own floatable in the pool. Pancho is on a big yellow rubber ducky. He is getting on Susana's nerves because of the way he is whistling for the pool attendant to come and bring him things. He tells her it is no big deal. He has ordered food. She asks him if he plans on eating right there. Wouldn't he rather go and sit in a nice relaxing restaurant? Nope, he is hungry right now. He gives the pool attendant his order. He asks Susana if she wants a beer. She just looks mortified. He asks her what is wrong. She wants to go. He knows what the problem is. They are different, aren't they?  He loves her just like she is. He invites her to play in the water and they do. *(They didn't tell you and Pancho and Susana got into it on the honeymoon about being "very different" again.  He said they always knew that they were. She was always elegant and refined and he. . . She said he was not lesser than she because of his "style.' She was only saying that it was always possible to improve and change. Pancho repeated "change". He said she wanted him to change. She denied that he needed to change but said that he might be able to "EVOLVE". He looked hurt and insulted. She didn't want him to take what she said in the "wrong way".  She saw him as an extraordinary man who was capable of so much. He should take advantage of his potential and be a great executive like he once was. He asked her if only executives and business people were "somebody." Pancho looked disgusted and suddenly wasn't feeling very well. He decided it would be best to go back to Oaxaca immediately because the the honeymoon "luna de miel" had turned onto an 'icy'moon "luna de hielo".  She went to kiss him but Pancho got a phone call from Neto so the kiss never happened.)

Guido doesn't understand why they are all there. Nonno tells him enough is enough and informs him about the white powder that they found in his room. Nonno wants the truth and no more lies.

Neto is ready to leave with his kids. Eugenio tells him that his father must be very proud of him.  Eugenio knows nothing about his father so he lives everyday honoring his mother. They leave and Blanca closes the door. Imelda is in a rush because she has to get to court.  Blanca informs her that she knows all about Eugenio and Audifaz being in love with Yolotl. She also knows Yolotl is Neto's mother. The only thing that Blanca doesn't know is if Imelda ever knew if Yolotl was pregnant back then.  Blanca needs to know if her husband has more family. Eugenio wants to know, too. He doesn't want more lies.  Imelda cannot hold the secret any longer. Yes, Yolotl was pregnant before she left town.

Neto tells Eugenio that his mother said that she met his father here in Oaxaca but nothing  more.  Eugenio says that it is very possible that Neto could be a part of his family, a Córcega.

Nonno is about to beat Guido after finding  documents transferring  shares and ownership of the distillery to Guido.   *(They didn't tell you that before this Neto found documents at the distillery as he was doing his work for Nonno.  His duties increased at the distillery when Nonno thought that Guido was addicted to cocaine and Nonno wanted Guido to  concentrate on getting better. The documents that Guido found  transferred all of Nonno's shares of the distillery to Guido and named Guido as the majority shareholder and owner  Nonno had asked that the shares be equally divided among his four grandchildren. That didn't happen. Nonno was shocked.)Guido blames it all on Luigi. Luigi made him do it.

Neto tells Eugenio that his father never recognized him. Eugenio says maybe his father never knew that he existed.  Neto asks Eugenio if he is sure they could be father and son. Eugenio says no but as they say "blood calls" and he feels a special love for Neto. Neto says feelings don't prove anything. Eugenio knows that. Eugenio says even if it turns out he isn't his father, he still could be a Córcega. Neto doesn't know shat he is talking about.

Polita is praying to the Virgin of Guadalupe at the family shrine in the hallway. Audifaz watches from down the hall. She doesn't want to lose her little Arqui. She begs that her children not be taken away from her.  Finally Audi,, cals out to her and tells her he doesn't want her or the children to suffer.  She asks him how he can say something lie that after all he has done. He wants to mend a lot of things. She tells him it is really late to do that. They are all suffering from what he, his brother and mother started. He says he isn't doing well either. She tells him he should have thought of that before. He asks "his" Polita what he can do so that she forgives him.  She answers that he has to change from the very roots of his being.

Guido is still telling Nonno that he didn't want to change the documents. Luigi was the one who gave him the drugs. That angers Nonno even more. Guido adds that Luigi made him sign the document. Luigi threatened him with hurting Nonno and the triplets. Guido tells Nonno that he has to believe him. He is is grandson. They have always been together. He has been Luigi's victim. It is the truth. He can prove it. Nonno says he will prove it right now.  Nonno makes a phone call for Luigi to come to his office immediately.

Neto wants to know what other possibility of him being a Córcega is there. Eugenio would never speak poorly of his mother. Neto says his mother was a good and decent woman. Eugenio tells him to calm down. His mother was a great woman who he loved a lot but they have to put themselves in her shoes. Feelings cannot be controlled.  Hearts sometimes make our decisions for us. Neto just wants him to tell him the ruth already. Eugenio explains that his mother fell in love with him and his brother Audifaz at the same time.

Luigi comes into Nonno's office asking what is going on.  Nonno slaps him hard cross the face. He calls Luigi a criminal. He knows that he got Guido on drugs and  then tried to swindle him. If it weren't for Ernesto Rey he would still be trusting someone he shouldn't. Guido lies and takes Nonno's part saying he won't let allow Luigi to torture him anymore.  Nonno will make sure that justice will be done. Luigi turns to leave and Nonno grabs him by the arm. Luigi turns and backhands Nonno and he lands on the couch. Luigi is out of  there. Guido says he won't let Luigi escape and goes in pursuit of him.

Neto says he never knew anything about  this part of his mother's past. Eugenio tells him to take some time and get his head together. Eugenio  has an alternative. He and Neto can do a DNA test.

Guido catches up with Luigi. Luigi wants to know how he could have treated him this way. Guido explains it was his only way out. Luigi doesn't have to worry,  just go far away. Luigi says he betrayed him. Guido admits that the documents weren't in the safe. He didn't know anyone would find them. Luigi calls him an imbecile and now realizes why Guido blamed him for  everything. Guido says it was the only way or they both were going to get sunk. He saved himself to save their plans. Luigi finds that very convenient.  Guido says Luigi will end up with much more than he imagined. Luigi says he better, calls Guido an idiot and leaves. Guido rushes back to Nonno to say that Luigi got  away. Nonno says that criminal Luigi will pay.

Dani thanks Dr. Carlos Rojas for taking a look at little Gabriel  *(They didn't tell you that  little Gabriel was urinating a lot and that is why Dani brought him to the doctor in the first place). Dr. Carlos reminds her to schedule the vaccinations for all three of the babies.  He says being a first time mother is complicated and he admires her even more for being able to care for three little babies. She says they are her reason for living.

Andi and Santi are doing an experiment with recyclables.  Yolo is thinking of running into Guido outside of the  apartment building. *( They didn't tell you that Yolo had been outside of the apartment building earlier.  She was frustrated and threw her cell phone. It hit Guido who was coming to see Dani. She said she was sorry. He told her that he wanted an ambulance. She started to look for one  and he had to tell  her he was only joking.  She said he was being bad. No, he reminded her that she was the one who threw her cellphone.  He picked up her phone and it was broken. It was the only thing she had from the USA. She felt so out of place. He could understand that. She mentioned her brothers and apologized for the prank and also for going through his things at Dani's house when they were packing. He invited her to talk over an ice cream. She wasn't sure.  Guido reminded her that her dad wasn't around and he was his boss).  Yolo remembers Guido saying that after being in a first world country, it was hard to adapt to a "modest" lifestyle. That makes her smile. Neto comes home. It is clear that something is bothering him.  The kids want to know what it is. He says there is   something he has to check out and he will tell them about it when it is time to do so.

The police tell Ari and Temo they have to clean up all of their bottles of Nutri Gray juice drink and remove them from the park. *(They didn't tell you that Ari wanted to help his mother sell her Nutra Gray.  Temo went with him to the park. Ari tried to carry too many boxes across the street and the dropped two boxes of the juice got run over and dirtied up the street. Temo helped Ari to get the bottles out of the street but Ari was despondent. Besides losing the juice, he lost earnings on the rest. Temo tried to calm him down and told him he would always be with him. Then police arrived and asked them if they had a permit to sell the drinks in a public place which they did not.) Ari sits and cries on a bench saying he lost so much money for being the idiot he is. Temo offers to lend him the money. Ari doesn't want anything from anybody. It is enough that he is dealing with some unknown sponsor paying his tuition. Temo says it is just somebody that wants to help. Ari isn't asking anyone for help.   He doesn't want any "sponsor". Temo asks him why not. Ari is afraid of what he might be asked for in return. Ari cannot take help from an "unknown" person.  Temo says the person is someone he knows. Temo is the sponsor.

Susana and Pancho are home at her house. She doesn't like quarreling with him. She wants them to get used to living there. He just doesn't know. He doesn't look happy. Susana insists it is just a matter of time and reminds him that is how she felt at his place. Tonight she is having a very important business dinner for some Korean investors. She wants him to accompany her.

Crisanta and Imelda get together and decide it is time to take revenge together on Massimo. *(They didn't show you that Imelda invited Crisanta to a cup of chocolate. They had the hope of doing something memorable. They did the old "spit and shake on it" to seal the deal.)

Neto stops by Eugenio's to tell him he is open to doing the DNA test. Neto knows the results will take a few days but he is ready to go to the lab ASAP.  He also wants to limit the test to just him and Eugenio at this time. Dani keeps asking what is going on but nobody tells her.

Guido tells Nonno that thanks to Neto's discovery, Luigi couldn't do more damage. Guido wants to see Neto and explain what happened and thank him for helping the whole Mussi family.  Nonno asks Guido to promise him that he is telling him the truth because he is discovering facets of his personality that the never imagined.  Guido needs Nonno to trust in him again. Nonno says it isn't easy. Guido says today they can call the lawyer and get the papers in order. Nonno can take him  Guido off the documents  and reestablish himself as the the sole legitimate owner of his Mussi enterprises. Guido will go to therapy and leave Luigi and the drugs behind forever. He will do it all for his grandfather.

Pancho isn't too excited at first but Susana talks him into being at  the business dinner with her when she expresses how important it is to have his support as a business man and also as her husband. She admires him. They kiss and things are better.

Ari is angry because he told Temo he doesn't like to take money from anyone. Temo says he is not just "anyone."He is his partner. They are a team. Team members support each other. Ari has supported him. So now he is supporting Ari. Ari doesn't agree. Temo tells him he is too proud. Couples support each other. Well, Ari doesn't like what Temo did and that he hid it from him. Ari wants to be left alone. It is his problem. Temo smiles through his tears and tells him good luck. He leaves. Ari throws a tantrum with his Nutra Gray boxes.

Diana gets a a diagnosis of chronic gastritis. She thinks about Hugo telling her that he didn't want her to be angry with him being the principal. He would never want to hurt her.

Susana asks Grecia what is happening with Neto. Grecia isn't saying much but she gets on well with him. She smiles. She also tells Susana that she knows that love isn't her thing. Susana says as long as she is making a fresh start she should give herself a chance with Neto. Susana has an idea. Grecia should invite him to the dinner she is having for the investors. Grecia is coming anyway. Susana tries to find a reason not to, but Susana talks her into it saying it would be the ideal occasion.

Neto and Eugenio decide to get the DNA test tomorrow. Dani is still asking what is going on. Blanca finally tells her that Neto could be her half-brother by way of Eugenio's first love Yolotl.

Blanca talks with Frida about the Rey twins. She likes both of them and is all giggles. Blanca says it could be very problematical if she liked them both at one time. Blanca thinks of the predicament with Eugenio, Audifaz and Yolotl.  Blanca says definitely not two at the same time. That could be very bad.

Neto chats with Grecia before the dinner. He asks how she is and if her nightmares have come back. Grecia would rather not talk about that today. She just wants to support Susana so the dinner goes well for her. Neto agrees totally. She asks how he is doing. He says he wanted to ask her some advice even though he probably is not her favorite client. Just between them, he found out that Eugenio Córcega could be his father.

Yolo runs into Guido in the apartment building. He has brought her something to make her very happy. Inside the gift bag is a brand new cellphone. She loves it and she gives him a hug. Guido remembers Nonno telling him that if it were not for Neto's kids he would be blind when it came to Guido's "drug" problem.

Susana and Pancho greet the Korean investors to their home with a series of missteps and cultural mishaps.

Grecia tells Neto that destiny is helping him find the little piece that is missing in his life. He says that she seems to be missing something, too. She admits they are both in the same boat with a certain emptiness and wounds that need to be healed. She asks him to help her and give her a hug. He does.

Comments:
This was a slice and dice special. i think they used a cleaver. The novela is so good that this truncated version was a disappointment.

FYI: This episode was a combination of the last part of the Mexican episode #119, the last part of #130, #131 and #132. All of the Xmas/holiday episodes (mid#119 to mid#130) were cut out completely. Many of those episodes were free standing. Too bad this novela wasn't shown in synch with the Mexican transmission so we might have enjoyed the holiday episodes.

I tried to include information from the original episodes that I though might be useful to better understand the action.
 

Thank you, Jarifa. I don't know how you do it to keep up with what the Mexican episodes were, but I have to hand it to you as you put the recap together. I was thinking that this was a bunch of slice and dice because I sure did not follow it very well, but thanks to your recap, it fills in the blanks. I sure would not have been able to do this good of a job. I would not have minded seeing the holiday episodes myself, even though we are past the holidays.

More comments tomorrow. I'm going to bed.
 

Wow! Jarifa, thank you for this recap, a recap that covers multiple episodes and a lot of stuff we didn't get to see. I'm sure it won't work but I'm going to make a Univision doll and stick pins in it. It may take a long time, since I have no idea what such a doll should look like and what part would hurt. Problems, problems...

So just like that Nonno accepts Guido's explanations? Nah.
Is Dani taking all this in? Any light bulbs lighting up in her head?
And I think it's too early for her to start flirting with Dr Whatshisname.

NOW Susana discovers Pancho is not extremely polished???

Oh, whatever, but thank you again, Jarifa. I absolutely hate it when Univision does their dicing and slicing, but I feel better since you have filled us in on the most important things we won't see.

andy
 

Thanks, Jarifa. You went far beyond the call of duty to bring us key scenes that got axed. Of all the cuts, I'm most ticked about not getting to see Crisanta and Imelda doing the "spit and shake on it" pact to fix Massimo.

It seems too soon for Eugenio and Neto to settle into happy father and son so now I'm wondering if poor Neto is going to find out that idiot Audifaz is his dad.
 

I just went back and hopefully found all of my typos. More later.
 

Wow, thank you for your recap, Jarifa! So much happened that it made sense this was a diced and spliced episode. And thank you for watching all the original episodes and filling in the deleted scenes. Some of them are necessary.

I can NOT believe Looneyvision cut the scene where the judge granted Poli temporary custody of Arqui. Argh!!!! With Audi's change of heart, looks like the writers are buying time.

Will Susana & Pancho's marriage survive even two weeks? It appears that he is sabotaging their marriage right out of the gate. Why??? Is this what happened with the last wife??? Another PSA about how some people hide their true colors (pun intended) until after the Wedding?
 

Thanks Jarifa. You managed to craft a coherent recap out of a total mess. Wow...if there were a Recapper's Hall of Fame, you'd be in it sweet lady.

I will look forward to watching this some time over the weekend. Lots of babysitting lined up and it's amazing how exhausting an adorable 16-month-old can be. He's into two word sentences now, like "All done!" and I'm waiting for when he can put three words together. The linguists say once that happens "all hell breaks loose".

Well, it sounds like all hell is breaking loose in this one, but some of it is in a good way. Cute title and a World Class award for tying this hodge-podge all together to make sense.
 

Jarifa: Good Job on the recap. Law enforcement agencies better catch Guido soon.
 

First Jarifa, this was a marvelous recap. Loved the title along with "Ari throws a tantrum with his Nutra Gray boxes".

Temo was right. Partners help and support each other. Apparently, Ari and Diana weren't listening. Ack.

Even I realized this was cut to ribbons, but I am beyond dismayed that we have been robbed of so many episodes! Why Univision, why??? Over 15 episodes gone??

I'll join the chorus in thanking you for watching everything we missed and for supplying that information so clearly and eloquently.

Amazed Guido sleazed his way out of discovery. Yolo isn't a fan favorite but am very concerned for her. How is this crazed madman going to be brought down?? andy, I'm hoping it might be Dani too.

This was s series of changes, and some, not for the best.

Not happy the sweet pre-wedding Pancho is fading. Quickly. (Well maybe not so quickly as so much was cut). “He decided it would be best to go back to Oaxaca immediately because the the honeymoon "luna de miel" had turned onto an 'icy'moon "luna de hielo". Really? I’m all for people being themselves, but he is being a boastful, rather loud mouthed, selfish individual. This wasn’t the man Susana fell in love with, how could she??

He asks "his" Polita what he can do so that she forgives him. She answers that he has to change from the very roots of his being.

The doctor might be exactly what Dani needs. A little ray of sunshine.

Seems Neto and Grecia's relationship hasn't progressed much. Looking forward to that...Niecie, I'm hoping Audi being Neto's father is a red herring. He's a lousy father to the two sons he already has, don't want to add a third. Neto and his family need comfort, love and support, none of which he can supply.

Enjoyed everyone's comments.

Jarifa, what a trooper you are. Thank you for providing the many missing puzzle pieces, as always, in fine fashion.

Diana
 

Sorry, I hadn't finished my thought on "He asks "his" Polita what he can do so that she forgives him. She answers that he has to change from the very roots of his being".

Being a TN, I'm sure something will happen to turn Audi around, but at this point, do we even care? I suppose I do if only for Polita and her children. He has a lot to atone for and a little bit of guilt will not cut it. He needs a job and to provide for his family. And to stop being so bigoted and prejudiced and embrace Ari for who he is. Oh, and to beg Polita's forgiveness for the rest of his useless life.

Tall order.

Diana
 

To tell you the truth, I was shocked last night as pages of dialogue went by the wayside. It was basically a three-in-one.

The holiday episodes were charming, family oriented, with a variety of themes and times with the almost constant soundtrack of the Xmas carol “Campana sobre campana”.

If you are interested this is what those episodes were about:

Everyone puts up their Christmas trees. Blanca organizes a posada. There are piñatas with one that looks like Crisanta. Crisanta and Imelda get into it. Robert and Julieta have sent the families anonymous “missions” to organize a family posada at a foundation, to have the kids donate clothes and toys to those kids who are less fortunate, to make sandwiches and deliver them to patient’s relatives at the hospital. Arii, Temo and Linda are to organize a spot outdoors where people can donate or pick up a jacket or a sweater. Yolo starts styling people’s hair including Imelda’s. Guido kidnaps Hermoso who bites him, gets away and is found. The families create their own Nativity scenes by hand. Blanca and Pancho decide to have one big Xmas Eve celebration. Everyone eats their grapes at midnight. They draw names for a gift exchange. Pancho takes in a runaway, reunites him with his mother and has them spend Xmas Eve with all of the at Blanca’s, Imeldase te Crisanta a nasty Xmas cupcake, The kids go on a search for Santa Claus because the burn victim Gabi has never seen him and are harassed by the school bullies but rescued by Susana and Pancho, “Santa” visits the kids and Gabi. There is an Cmas ghost who visits everyone with wise advice. The kids celebrate “The Day of the Holy Innocents” which is like AprilFools’s Day and plenty of pranks are played. Dani reminds us all that Linda used to go out with guys just to get gifts (Hugo Seson 1). Ari and Temo make a recording to enter a contest. ArisTemo wins. Pancho has a New Year’s Eve party. We see Ernie in a flashback with his wife who is interested only in money. He cannot give her enough things that are expensive enough. There is an episode about Eugenio as a boy being the responsible first born and Imelda being accused of a theft she did not commit. Three ladies come to visit Imelda. They watch some old movies together. Imelda asks who the actress is in the movie. A friend says it looks like her (Sílvia Pinal). Imelda says she was a,ways taken fro Sílvia Pinal when she was younger.
 

Of course we are interested Jarifa!!!

Thank you so much.

"We see Ernie in a flashback with his wife who is interested only in money. He cannot give her enough things that are expensive enough". I did think it was either that or she left him for another man. Or both :)

"Guido kidnaps Hermoso who bites him, gets away and is found". Glad not to see that. Seeing the little guy in so much pain after the poisoning was enough.

"Imelda being accused of a theft she did not commit". That caught my attention a bit...

I love Christmas and would have liked to have seen what you described. But, your words brought things vividly to life. As always. Thank you amiga.

Diana
 

Thanks you, everyone, for your kind comments.

Cynthia, I have notebooks on top of notebooks. I will confess the final number when we are done with this adventure. Funny the things you can do when you are no longer working. 👩🏻‍💻

Andy, I agree that it is a little too soon for Dr. Carlos to make a move but I hope he does before th end of the show. I can see Dani moving ahead for her kids but not for herself if there is nobody to pull her along. She seems like she could get stuck.

Niecie, that would be sad if Audifaz were to end up being Neto’s dad. A nightmare,

doris, I am happy that Polita got custody of Arqui for now but it seems like too easy and too soon of a decision for a novela.

JudyB, it was nice to see the plot move along but just not at this speed. LOL

Steve, I, too, hope Guido is arrested soon.

Diana, ITA about Pancho. It was like he was being obnoxiously ignorant on purpose then playing the injured party. Well, one thing this novela is very good at is creating complicated characters. Guess Lancho wasn’t the open book he seemed to be.
 

****Everyone eats their grapes at midnight on New Year’s Eve.The way I placed it , it made I seem it was on Xmas Eve.
 

Thank you, Jarifa, for going above and beyond the call of duty to piece together the pieces Uni decided to give us. What with that? Are TPTB in a hurry to move on to the nice novela? I don't understand. Do we know what is coming next in the 9.00 time slot?

 

Jarifa, I don't have triplets to care for , but I do help care for two of my grand girls and that does help to keep me going forward. Dani looks the way I feel...kind of numb.
 

Jarifa, thanks for all that wonderful fill-in on the episodes we missed. I've always loved traditions and the practice of eating grapes to have luck and prosperity for the New Year seems charming.
 

Thank you for the pieced together recap. UNI is a real pain....

I guess I am confused. IS the dispute between Pancho and Susana after the Christmas episodes? Ditto for Ari and Temo's spat.
Oh it's maddening what UNIVISION has done to this TN.

As far as the DNA test, it's not a good sign since almost all the TNs I have seen usually end up with switched or bogus results. Will Mi marido be any different?
 

Jarifa, thank you for filling us in on what Univision cut. It's hard to believe they could cut so much! And why? Why do they insist on finishing by a certain date? It's not as if all TNs have the same number of episodes.

And I think I would have loved seeing Imelda say people thought she looked like Silvia Pinal. I just enjoy that sort of thing :-)

I couldn't blame Dr. Carlos in the least for being interested, but Dani needs some time first.

andy
 

Anon, I am just as confused. No continuity here. You are right. In all of the holiday episodes, everyone was one big happy family with no reference to those two particular disagreements. When those episodes were over, we were right where we were previously to those holiday episodes. Nonetheless, they also gave us serious information related to the larger plot like the flashback with Neto’s wife and the kidnapping of Hermoso. Go figure. I am chalking it up to the “not so magic magic” of telenovelalandia. LOL

Susanlynn, I have no idea of what this is being followed by here yet. Maybe somebody else does. We still have a ways to go. Here is hoping it is something interesting.

JudyB, that is one thing that made these holiday episodes so special: seeing how the customs and holidays are being practiced/celebrated nowadays in Mexico.

Andy, I, too, “like that sort of thing.” With the bioseries about Sílvia Pinal starting right after the two hour gran final of MMTMF in Mexico tonight, it seemed like a proper tease eventhough it was a couple of months early. As for the episode cuts, they have become a constant annoyance with most novelas these days. Uni makes such a big deal about starting a telenovela but then when the novela is about 2/3 done that they cannot seem to wait to shuffle it off to hurry to launch the next “great” novela. It seems to have gotten worse in my six years of novela viewing.
 

OT. To the question of what is next on Univision.

Lo Mejor Está Por Llegar | Promo | Univision

Por amar sin ley 2 - 10pm.
La reina soy yo - maybe 9pm. Remake of the Colombian telenovela, variation on the theme of "The Count of Monte Cristo." The Colombian original, "La reina del flow" was pretty good.
Doña Flor y sus dos maridos - maybe 8pm.
 

Thanks, Lucio.
 

Thanks , Lucio, for the information on upcoming novelas. "Doha Flora and Her Two Husbands?" that sounds interesting.
 

Diana: Guido keeps getting away with everything.

He's the Latino OJ Simpson.
 

Well, we have had so much rain this past week that in addition to all the flooding and the whole state declared an emergency zone, there was a mudslide early this morning that has blocked I-24 just as traffic comes into Nashville in the NW side of town. 😳😳😳 Reports say it will take a week to clear it out and make it safe. This is a major rush hour artery of traffic. My heart goes out to the people who have to detour. It will take them forever to get to work. And then there are the unsuspecting travelers. Caray! Caray!

Cynthia and Jarifa - a quick note to thank you both *in advance* for your upcoming recaps. I will be out of town the next two weeks with no U.S. TV and horrible & expensive internet access, so not even sure I will be able to read recaps until I return home. Hubby and I are going on a partial-transit Panama Canal cruise (round trip out of Florida) and I'm very excited about seeing the Canal locks. I will be thinking of my Patio friends and wondering how the MMTMF plot develops. Most of all, I look forward to this vacation. I'll see y'all in a couple of weeks!

 

Wishing you safe and wonderful travels Doris. And no mudslides when you get back home.
 

doris, have a wonderful time and enjoy the warmer temperatures! We will want to hear all about the trip when you come home.
 

Sounds like a trip of a lifetime doris.

I hope you and your husband have a marvelous time...and yes, the mudslides sound terrible. Prayers for all those suffering from all the weather ills this winter has brought.

Diana
 

Doris, have a wonderful time. Maybe you'll have wi-fi on the cruise so you can tune in to what is going on with the show. I am sure you will be enjoying the warm temperatures.
 

Thank you, everyone, for your kind wishes.

Cynthia, there is WiFi in the ship but it is slow and very expensive, and purchased in packages of minutes, like Internet cafes used to be.
We have to watch our spending. 🤑☺️
 

Doris, Have a fabulous trip!

I've liked Pancho up until now, but I don't like this reverse snobbery I'm seeing in him now. Cutting the honeymoon short, doofus.
 

Niecie, good way of putting it “reverse snobbery.”
 

Doris, I hope you have a great time.


I very much enjoy the TNs that I watch, but I am also often annoyed by them, too. Almost from the start I thought Susana and Pancho were mismatched, but Pancho was in no way the boor he is now becoming. I'll admit it could happen, but I would want to see it happen a bit more gradually, I would want to see it develop.

But no, whatever suits the needs or desires of the writers or Sr Osorio, whenever it suits them. This doesn't work so well for me.

So this tears it. I'm going to boycott Bimbo bread.

:-)

Doris, I can understand if it's so expensive. I probably wouldn't spend the money either.
 

*Sin Miedo a la Verdad will replace MMTMF at 9p, it says on the website that it will air at 9.
*Doña Flora will most likely replace SMALV.
*La Reina soy Yo could possibly air at 7p.
*En Tierras Salvajes will end it's run on Friday March 12.
