Mi marido tiene más familia Monday 3/25/19 Capítulo 132 Plotting, Scheming and Love in Bloom

Susana and Pancho are busy talking about the "Flower of Oaxaca" event which will take place tomorrow. They are all prepared and Susana is sure it will turn out well. Pancho and Susana are happy they were able to take care of their kids and their corporation.  Pancho thinks they need a  "lovey dovey" break.  Just as they start to kiss, Lupita comes in  needing help with her hairstyle. Susana will help her. Next, it is Sebas complaining that kids are making fun of him saying he has a mustache. Pancho says he will help him when it really happens. Julio didn't do his math homework. Susana will help him but now it is time to get packed up and leave.

Pablo and Dani are walking through the park talking about the triplets. Pablo will always be there for them.  Is she ready for the "Flower of Oaxaca" event?  Pablo acknowledges that it will be a tribute to Gabriel.  Dani cannot believe that Gabriel has been dead for almost a year.

Nonno is telling Gabriel that the tribute for Gabriel has to be perfect. Guido says no worries because he has been working on it for weeks. Nonno adds that that has been with Neto's help, of course. Guido agrees.  Nonno has also noticed that Guido has had this glowing look about him lately.  It looks like he is in love but Nonno hasn't seen Linda around. Guido says that Linda is a thing of the past. Guido gives credit to his therapy that has helped him quit drugs.  Guido is so happy that Nonno is proud of him.   Nonno says he so proud of him that he has been thinking again of putting him in charge of his businesses but has to remind Guido about getting married. Nonno hopes Guido falls in love very soon. Guido smiles.


At Polita's, Ari and Temo having a fun time during Ari's rehab. Ari tells Temo  thanks him for what he has done for him all of this time. accompanying him in his rehab.  He would have given up without him.  Ari jokes about appearing in his robo-cop boot performing in a competition at the "Flower of Oaxaca" event.   Since Ari's birthday is coming up soon, Temo "his servant" will be planning the best birthday party of his life for him.  Ari laughs and thanks him. Polita is leaving to find out the results of her "Open High School" test. Ari and Polita are proud of each other. Polita sees Ari's appearance at the "Flower of Oaxaca" event  as the re-launch of his career.  She tells them to keep their fingers crossed.

Out in the hallway, Polita meets Eduardo who has come over to accompany her. He has flowers for her and a lollipop for little Arqui.  He is sure she passed and  he wants to take them all including Ari and Temo out to eat to celebrate. As they leave, Eduardo carries Arqui down the hall. Audifaz appears in the hallway wanting to know what "that man" is doing holding his son.  Polita and Audi look at Audi like he has three heads.

Back at Polita's, Ari wants to try to walk without his crutches.  He does well on the floor but ends up falling when he walks on the mat. He falls into Temo  and they both end up on the mat.  It is no  big deal in spite of the  pain. Temo says by working longer with the crutches, Ari will be dancing in no time.  They both laugh.

Audi starts in sarcastically saying that this little "goody goody" (referring to Eduardo) seemed to have had some other kind of "interest" in Polita, but he never thought she would be so open to it.  Eduardo sticks up for himself and Polita. He is her friend  and, as a matter of fact, he is in love with her. Audi is shocked.  Polita stands up for herself and informs Audi that she is a free woman and doesn't have to explain anything to him. Audi goes back to the old tired argument that when it has to do with her, she is right but not when it has to do with his children.  She says his/her children continue to be her priority.  As a far as she is concerned, Eduardo is a great guy and has chosen to help them. Audi says he is putting one over on them. Polita tells him maybe he should put his energy into being interested in Ari's health instead instead of complaining to her.  Polita and Arqui leave. Edward pauses to give Audi "the look." Audi is left alone.

Imelda has come to flirt with Nonno who is so happy she finally has decided to forgive him.  Imelda has been impressed with his efforts so far but is expecting more.  He wants to take advantage of the "Flower of Oaxaca" event to announce publicly that they are novios.  Imelda would like that but warns him they have to be careful because of that crazy Crisanta.

Frida and Lupita will be competing against each other in the "Flower of Oaxaca" competition.  They decide that their friendship is one thing and the competition is another. Frida is all excited to have yolo there to "style" her. Lupita has Susana. Frida says that is cheating because Susana is organizing the contest. Sebas and Julio tell them to stop arguing.  They are all a part of the "united kids". Frida says the "united group is one thing and the contest is another. The girls agree to be friends but rivals.

Santi and Andi have decided that Frida cannot win the competition because if she does all of the boys in Oaxaca will notice her and they won't have a chance with her, even though they know she  is their cousin. Andi thinks he has the best plan to prevent that but it could be dangerous . . .

Guido is texting Yolo counting the minutes until he can see her again.  She thinks back to being out with him and asking him to clarify their relationship after going out together for months. He affirmed that he was completely in love with her and called her his "wife".   Yolo smiles just thinking about it.

Grecia sees Yolo and suggests that since they are going to still be seeing each other because of Grecia being Neto's novia, and because of school,  it might be more "cordial"  if she greeted her.  Yolo tells her that she doesn't inspire her to be "cordial" and she is only putting up with them being "novios" because that is not going to last very long.  Yolo doesn't want to see Grecia, talk to her,  be in her class or have anything  to do with her at all. Grecia gives her some life advice: Sometimes there are situations we cannot change even though they bother us. In those cases, we can only change our attitude. Yolo just doesn't want to see Grecia again.  She repeats Grecia won't be in a relationship with her dad much longer anyway.

At the same time at the distillery, Neto is being set up to have a big surprise.  Ariana comes behind him, covers his yees and kisses him. He thinks it is Grecia. Guido is poised to take photos of the encounter.  Neto is not pleased. Ariana says she just couldn't control herself. She apologizes. He is exasperated as he repeats that he has asked her a thousand times to remember that he is a relationship.  Well, Ariana has something she has wanted to tell him for a while now.  She grabs Neto and kisses him again. Neto tries to push her away as fast as he can but Guido has gotten a good shot this time.

Linda is at her rooftop business working when Crisanta stops by.  Linda asks what kind of service she has come for.  Crisanta is not interested in any service. She wants to make Linda a business proposal.

Blanca is with Eugenio and the triplets. Her next video is about taking care of children safely while cooking.  Eugenio says she has so many fans all over Mexico and a lot of those fans are men.  He's jealous. Blanca reassures him she only has eyes for him.  Eugenio thinks some times that it isn't right for her to be tied to a man who is forgetting more everyday. Just today he forgot he took a bath twice.   Blanca reminds him that  they are not tied but fused together and there is nothing bad about being super clean. Blanca gets a text message from Robert.  The Oppas will be coming back to Oaxaca SOON! !!!!! They are overjoyed.

Pablo helps Dani pack up the commemorative mezcal saying  that Gabriel would be proud of her with the recipe and the packaging.  Suddenly, Dani gets a text message out of nowhere. It says that Gabriel's death was not natural as she thinks.

Neto demands that Ariana keep her distance from him and stay away from him.  She has to understand that he is in a relationship with Grecia. Well, she is sick of hearing about "Grecia". She doesn't even know her.  Neto explains one more time that he and Grecia are novios. He suggests that
she should focus on her own life and winning the love of her children back.  There is nothing left between the two of them let alone love. Ariana insists that she still loves him. Neto disagrees because if she did, she never would have left him and her children.  She wants time to make it all up to him. She wants him to believe her and to forgive her. She is open to doing anything to get him back.

Dani shows Carlos the anonymous text.  Carlos wonders if it could be from a lab.  Dani says no lab has Gabriel's food samples. There can  be no inquiry into his death because he was cremated. Dani wonders why the text was sent now and what it all means.

Guido sends the "kiss" photo to Yolo saying it could be of use to her. As Grecia is still telling Yolo that they should try to get along, Yolo smirks. Grecia states that she is not giving up on her father. She wants to be at his side the rest of her life. Yolo shows her the photo of Ariana and Neto.  Grecia is visibly upset.  Yolo still smirking waltzes off says that  Grecia should have believed what she warned her of this happening. Her parents never stopped loving each other.

Carlos thinks the best they can do is get a general area the text was sent from but not the exact computer. Dani sees no other option but responding to it.  Carlos is supportive of her. Dani answers the text with  questions: Who are you? Why are you writing something like this? What do you know? Dani really has doubts about the cause Gabriel's death now.

At home, Blanca is in overdrive realizing that Julieta, Robert and the two children will be coming to stay.  Since their house is rented but now that the triplets and Dani are living with Blanca,  there is no room.   Eugenio says it sounds like they have time to get it all organized. Next, Blanca is talking about planning a big party for the Oppa's home coming with all of the Mexican food that they haven't had for months.  Robert sends another text saying they have a big surprise.  What could that be?  Eugenio suddenly gets depressed realizing that he will have to tell Robert and Julieta about his Alzheimer's diagnosis and that he won't be able to keep it a secret from them any longer.

Nonno and Imelda have been walking around the distillery and run into Guido. Although Nonno thinks the new mezcal is marvelous, he doesn't feel it is enough of a tribute to Gabriel.  Imelda thinks that by drinking the mezcal, everyone will keep a little of Gabriel's essence with them.  Guido has an idea. He could write a dedication to his beloved cousin Gabriel. Nonno loves the idea that Guido could write something like that on behalf of the Mussi's. Imelda is sure those words will reach Gabriel  up in heaven. Guido is sure the words will reach him.

Crisanta is impressed with how busy Linda is.  Linda says she was lucky her parents allowed her to reopen her business up here. The relaunch has worked very well.  Linda would like to expand to another location.  Crisanta says that is why she is there to see her.  She has a secret proposal. She wants Linda to work for her.

Pablo tells Dani to let him know if she gets another message. He doesn't want to see this turn into extortion or something more dangerous.

Crisanta wants Linda to be in charge of the relaunch of her  business. Linda likes what she hears. Crisanta needs somebody young and full of creativity like Linda to create a new concept for her business to serve all kinds of customers. Of course, Linda is worried because of Imelda and how she could end up in hot water. Crisanta doesn't think there is any reason for Imelda to find out. It is their secret and Crisanta is open to paying her very well for her ideas.  She will support her ideas and put them in practice. They can be silent partners. She will pay her very well. Crisanta tells her to think about it.  Linda  doesn't need to think long.  She agrees to work with Crisanta.

Pancho compliments Susana has really improved her cooking. Susana gives credit to Blanca's videos. Susana also has a compliment for him as well he has advanced in his position at work.  She also has something to tell him. Of course, she is interrupted by Lupita who wants to practice for the competition. She has to be perfect. She is dying to win. Pancho tells to convince her that winning isn't everything. She is not convinced.  Susana finally gets to talk to Pancho. She got a message from the advisory board that Julieta is returning to Oaxaca and she will be coming back to work at Cklass. She will want her Vice-President of Creativity position back.  Pancho realizes that means his job. Someone will be without a job.

Temo wants to hear what Ari has prepared for the "Flower of Oaxaca" event again! Polita, Eduardo and Arqui return.  Eduardo has brought "Blinky" burgers for everyone.   A celebration is in order because Polita passed her high school exam.

Yolo gives Frida a lesson on how to walk on the runway as Andi and Santi secretly watch. Yolo is sure that Frida will shine on the the runway tomorrow.  Andi tells Santi they don't have much tme to put their plan together. They huddle and whisper and plot.

At the bakery over a snack, Grecia keeps her composure when she sees Neto and asks why he kissed Ariana.

While Frida is still practicing, Yolo gets a call from Guido. He is in the park near her apartment and needs to talk to her.  She tells Frida she is going to see her novio and asks her to lie for her if anyone asks where she is. She loves having Frida as her accomplice and covering for her so she could have her relationship with Guido. She really trusts Frida and they hug.

Neto asks Grecia how she even knew.  Grecia tells him about Yolo showing her a photo.  He wonders how Yolo could be involved.  Her mother must have had something to do with it.  He tells Grecia that it is not what she thinks.  He explains that Ariana was the one who kissed him and being honest,  she said she is still in love with him.  Grecia starts to get visibly upset and pulls her hand from his.  She still believes in Neto but she also knew that Ariana was going to pull out all stops to get her kids back and him. Neto agrees but he has not forgotten that Ariana is the woman who abandoned and betrayed them. She is the woman who has caused him some of the greatest pain his has ever suffered in  his life.  Grecia nods but as he tries to grab her hands, she pulls them away.  Neto wants the two of them to be okay and he promises to keep Ariana at a distance.  As she looks at him with pained but dead eyes, he asks her not  to look at him like that and caresses her face.

Yolo finds Guido in the park.  They feel like they haven't seen each other forever. They want to spend all of their time together.  She thinks of his eyes, his smile and how she loves how he talks to her in Italian all day long. He has loved her  from the first time he saw her. He calls her his "Blu" and kisses her forehead.  She is the first woman he has loved in his life. Yolo loves him, too.  Her eyes are for him alone.  Guido explains that she has given his life another meaning. He wants to be everything for her. He gives her a ticket for a very special event. She hopes it isn't another horror movie. No, it is a  love movie and he shows her. It says "Do you want to be my novia?" Without hesitation, she says yes. Guido picks her up, kisses her face and spins her around.

Blanca has fantastic news for the family. Julieta and Robert are coming home for good. Everyone is  so happy. Blanca wants to be sure that everything is ready for them when they get back.

Eduardo tells the whole family that Polita got 95% on her  test.  As Eduardo disappears into the bathroom to clean off something Arqui spilled on him, Ari tells Polita that he likes Eduardo. Polita says he has become a good friend. Ari wonders if he is just a friend.  Polita wanted to run it by Ari about what he would think of her going out with Eduardo. Ari says she doesn't have to ask him about anything. He only wants to see her happy.

Dani puts the triplets to bed and thinks about the text message. She asks  Gabriel's photo what happened because she doesn't understand anything that is going on.

The day and hour of the "Flower of Oaxaca" competition has arrived. Everyone is there and seated on either side of the runway. Here are loads of food. Even Ariana has showed up to be with Yolo. Grecia is seated with Neto smiling.  Susana and Pancho are the announcers.  Susana announces that this is the "child" competition of  the most beautiful "Flower of Oaxaca" competition. Pablo explains that he and Susana are there as colleagues but also as husband and wife. Everyone cheers. They explain that theya re thereto showcase the customs of Oaxaca and above all emphasize the family and show the good qualities of their daughters, nieces, and grand daughters. Pancho sees this as a joyful celebration. there are applause for the representatives of the Oaxaca Tourism  office. They applaud some more. Susana and Pancho welcome everyone a to the event and cut the ribbon to start the celebration.

Guido is seated behind Neto thinking of what a painful day this is going to be for Neto Rey.

Uh, oh, it sounds like Julieta could have a BIG surprise thinking that her position was being held for her as she was led to believe before she left.

I like how easily Temo fits into Polita's family.

Looks like we are being launched down the road to solving Gabriel's murder with the text message. Yay!


 

Jarifa, thank you for a great recap.

Lupita, my little sweetheart, can also be a tough cookie it seems. She didn't give an inch to Frida. Not quite Clash of the Titans, more like Clash of the Munchkins, although Frida has a few years on Lupita. And I'm glad they can stay friends, but I'm still rooting for Lupita.

Guido and Yolo together is a bit sad. Eventually it has to come out what sort of person Guido is and poor Yolo will be crushed. Some time has gone by, is Yolo old enough to marry now? Guido seems to be sincere with her, but he also wants to marry to take over Nonno's business.

Polita, Eduardo, et al were fun together, and Arqui's "spilling" something on Eduardo got him away for a few minutes so they all could talk about him. What I found funny was that nobody cleaned up the spill on the floor :-)

The Big Mystery for now: who sent Dani that message?

andy
 

MMTMF will end on Monday April 15, at 7p-9p. So, there will be no more ✂️ involved!
 

Andy, “ Clash of the munchkins” is what it will surely be. Lupita is no pushover! As for Guido and Yolo, I think he is really in love with her which just makes his twisted character even more pathetic since it’s always been too late for him (since he killed his parents) to have a normal life.

Alexander, thanks for the info.
 

Thanks Jarifa. Was this another chop chop episode of two for the price of one? I had trouble following it somewhat because it moved so quickly. Thanks for threading it together so well.

I wonder where Robert and Julieta are going to live? Will they get to go back to their home and will the renters move out?

That is weird about the email to Daniela. I wonder who is behind it.

As for Guido, he does look like he is in love, which is not like a psychopath. Normally psychopaths are devoid of emotions.
 

Cynthia, this was a single episode but it was all over the place. : )
 

Sublime Jarifa.

"As she looks at him with pained but dead eyes, he asks her not to look at him like that and caresses her face" was beautifully expressive. "Blanca reminds him that they are not tied but fused together" makes one believe in true love.

“Audi goes back to the old tired argument that when it has to do with her, she is right but not when it has to do with his children”. This marriage (ex-marriage) cannot be saved. I have to say that Eduardo has brought much joy and happiness to the little family he can’t quite claim are his.

“Edward pauses to give Audi "the look." And what a look! It wasn’t in the least bit condescending, but it was clearly unapologetic. There might have been just a bit of a twinkle. As well there should.

So Ariana and Guido set Neto up…

I completely agree that Guido is in love, although surprised that it is possible for him. Sad yet sick and twisted. Yolo is young and time will allow her to heal her wounds. But will her mother be there for her or will she be off on new adventures leaving her children alone again?

I enjoyed Ari and Temo and agree Jarifa, Temo is very much part of Polita's family.

So the twins have another numbskull idea. Now it's Frida. This does not bode well.

andy, as for who sent the text message, think it might be Luigi. Or, someone who is feeling guilty the results were switched.

Looks like Guido has a nasty surprise in store for Neto (and Eugenio). But an event such as this, can't be devoid of drama, right?

I was so disappointed when this ended last night. I've enjoyed this so much. Almost as much as this marvelous recap. Thank you Jarifa!

Diana
 

Thank you for your recap, Jarifa! I can't wait to watch this.

"As for Guido, he does look like he is in love, which is not like a psychopath. Normally psychopaths are devoid of emotions." I agree. He still freaks out over killing his parents. Maybe Guido is just plain crazy.

It would serve Audi right if he gets left behind in the dust. He is his mother's son, fruit:tree, etc.

I'm sticking with my theory that Luigi will be the undoing of Guido. Nobody else knows his secrets.

Andy I love "Clash of the Munchkins". LOL
 

Diana, interesting call on Guido but then he did have a bit of a conscience when it came to hurting the kids. Maybe he didn’t get paid enough to assuage his displeasure with his boss. As for Polita, I am happily betting on Eduardo. She deserves some happiness. I loved “the look”, too. Audi ended up looking like the little petty selfish cruel man he is.

One more thing I found interesting, 😱, is that we found out that Gabriel has been dead for almost a year which means Julieta and Robert have been gone several months longer.
 

doris, “crazy” transcends labels. LOL
 

Jarifa: I'm looking forward to seeing Yolo's BIGLY anvil when the truth about Guido (the Latino Charles Logan) is revealed.
 

Jarifa - yes, I wanted to say BSC but censored myself. LOL
 

Thoroughly enjoying the Audi lashings with a wet noodle.

"Audi ended up looking like the little petty selfish cruel man he is". Hear, hear Jarifa! :)

Also loved your "It would serve Audi right if he gets left behind in the dust. He is his mother's son, fruit:tree, etc." doris.

I am really starting to think he missed the window of opportunity for redemption. My only fear is that while he may "lose" Polita, his consolation prize might be gaining Neto as a son. Shiver.

Diana




 

doris, BSC is one of those phrases I never knew before Caray and then saw it everywhere even on greeting cards. It sure fits this situation.

Diana, would they do that to Neto? “Shiver” is sure right.
 

Another great recap, Jarifa! I totally agree with you, Cynthia and Diana (and Doris) that Guido's apparently sincere love for Yolo would be touching if he hadn't killed his parents and Gabriel and tried to kill the López and Córcega children, injuring Ari in the process. The actor playing Guido does slightly nerdy guy very much in love quite well. Maybe his next telenovela role should be as a non-psycopathic and not crazy appealing young galán.
 

Anybody willing to come over and recap PASL2 when this one wraps up? Cynthia, Jarifa, others? We're trying hard to keep going, but we need help...you will be enthusiastically mentored, and the bar is low for newbies!
 

Blue Lass, I'm going to take a hiatus from recapping for the next few months. I didn't even watch season one of the show, so I'd be lost anyway. I haven't even really watched before at all. I'll just wait till the next romantic comedy comes along.
 

Well things are really moving along here, galloping to a very dramatic finale I'm sure. Thanks for that snappy title and comprehensive recap Jarifa. The "course of true love" is hitting a few bumps in the road, and I see that the old "galanparalysis" has set in again. And even with eyes shut, Neto didn't notice the difference in height! Grecia is practically Munchkin size herself. (thanks for that image Andy) I am enjoying the recurring beso interruptus of Susana and Pancho...with that many kids, there certainly aren't likely to be more, even without a vasectomy.

Happy Tuesday everybody. We've got some sunshine here this afternoon and people in Ohio are celebrating.
 

Pancho and Susana gerting lsnog-blocked" by Lupita was cute. 😉

I liked how Arqui had his fingers in his ears during that hallway convo between Ed, Audi, and Polita.
 

"snog-blocked" silly autocorrupt.
 

SpanProf, the actor playing Guido is Germán Bracco and is only 20. I, also, would like to see him as an “appealing young galán.”

Blue Lass, thanks for the invite but finishing this one off is enough on my plate.

JudyB, yes! “the recurrent beso interruptus” is a good comic ploy. I also loved the term “galanparalysis”. Someone be kissed once without being able to help it, but not twice. I wanted to thunk Neto on the head and tell him to WAKE UP. The sun is shining here today, too. I t makes for a good day.




 

I love these comments, and learn stuff. Two new additions to my personal vocabulary, "snogblocked" and "beso interruptus".

Gotta love it!

:-)

andy
 

Thank you, jarifa. I missed the show last night, so I especially appreciate your excellent recap.

I hope that Audi is out of Polita's life. She deserves someone who appreciates her.

Today was bright and sunny with blue skies but a bit chilly.
Okay, I am off to check out thelitforum.com now to see if anything is new in the world of Outlander .
 

I think it is sad what the writers did to Audifaz. At the end of the first season, he had just written a book and was tasting success. I'm not sure why the writers made him go down this dark alley and ended up divorced and away from his family. As I recall in season one, Audi and Polita were poor, but they were happy together. I really hated to see them get divorced, but his personality got so dark and he always looked angry. He was fun loving in the first season. He ended up being such a total loser. I hope by the end of the show he is able to be redeemed in some way. You can't really blame his church either, because they told him to love his son and to love his wife.
 

Cynthia, I agree with you. Poor Audifaz never fared well, but he did try, and he was a decent person.

I never understood why he couldn't make some kind of a living. But, as always, it's whatever the writers decide and if they change their minds several times there's not much we can do about it, even if it diminishes any sense of "reality" the TN might have had.

I suspect the writers think "Reality? We don't need no stinkin' reality!"

:-)
