Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Miercoles 5/15/19 Episode 45: Family Affairs


Scenes combined where it made sense to do so.

During dinner, Sofia told her mother about Cristina's case. She also noticed that Camila seemed distracted, which Camila dismissed as normal. [When are we going to get a diagnosis?]

Roberto told his father about what was going on at the office with the BigTriangle. Nicolás said he was sure that Victoria loved Roberto, so it was a question of finding the right time to talk about their issues. Roberto said there never seemed to be because of work and stress, so Nicolás' prescription was relaxation. He suggested they have a drink, so they went out.

Ricardo and the kids played video games, which made Gustavo think of his own son. Federico invited him to join the game, but he said he couldn't. Federico realized that this reminded him of Luis. He went and hugged him, as did Natalia.

Did Carlos and Nancy not make it to the bed? She was sprawled on the couch in her underwear when he got their post-coital drinks. She made her availability clear. He told her that he wasn't over Alejandra. Nancy said she wasn't trying to take Alejandra's or anyone else's place, just to insure that he felt better. This looked like a hormone surge that would not become a relationship of any real feeling, the scratching of an itch.

Roberto and Nicolás were in a bar where Nicolás regaled some women younger than Roberto with tales of romantic nights in Paris. They were impressed.. However, he must have had a few too many because he began quoting a stat saying that more than 40% of women had never experienced orgasm. Roberto then got himself another drink and tried to stop his dad, who continued by saying that the reason was that they don't demand it. Roberto ordered a round of shots.

Carlos thanked Nancy for services rendered her company and the good news about the investigation. He said he knew he wasn't wrong about her. They agreed this would not affect their professional relationship. She kissed him once and said she would see him in the office in the morning. She left without a backward glance. After she closed the door he whispered Alejandra's name.

Roberto decided it was time to call it a night. He joked about his dad staying longer but the ladies also decided to leave. They each hugged and kissed Nicolás as though he were their own father and left. Roberto said “I can't believe you said those things” and Nicolás said that honesty is important. He then asked whether Roberto was sure about Victoria, which Roberto took to mean whether she was satisfied sexually. Nicolás said it was not just that and Roberto knew that there was another issue. [Both of them are afraid of love.]

Gustavo stared at the remote control. Ricardo came back, telling him that the children were asleep. Gustavo cried, saying he would give anything to feel as Ricardo felt at that moment with his children there. They talked about the case. Why was this shootout inside when previously it would have been out in the open?

The next morning Fanny was fixing her daughter Karla's hair before the girl left for school. She hugged her as Janneth came to the table. The girl addressed both as “Mama.”

Ricardo fixed breakfast for three and told the kids they were going to stop at the office for him to check on things and then go out for the day. Federico said that living there full time would make him happy.

Fanny asked Janneth if she could come with them and Janneth answered that she had a bad headache. Fanny told her to stay and not worry. She then remembered that Janneth's mother called the day before. She had said nothing because she always hung up at the sound of her voice, but her number was on the caller ID box. Janneth had no desire to call her mother because they always ended up fighting. Her mother did not understand their relationship. She told her that when the headache was gone the next day she would call. Carla came in and Janneth kissed her goodbye and told her to have a good day at school. As soon as Karla and Fanny were out Janneth let out the deep breath she was holding.

Sofia and Adrian discussed Cristina's case and she said she would look into the travel arrangements. He said that this case will be difficult because Blums will try to make it difficult for them by questioning their preparation and even their credentials. They knew this would be a major fight.

Juan was at the courthouse and he had a conversation with Elisa, whose assistant was in hospital. She was overworked and needed a temp for a few months. He said he had a friend who needed work and asked if he could send her. She was happy and then handed him a document he had requested. He left in a good mood.

Alonso talked about Ricardo and his kids during breakfast but Lourdes did not appear to hear him. He asked what was wrong and she was reluctant to burden him with more. He got her to talk about Paula's situation and understood how difficult this was for her. He finally advised her to help both to the degree she could without taking sides. He said he would speak to Jaime about this and that when it was all over both women would understand.

Juan called Fernanda to tell her that they had a court date the next day. He was going home to prepare. He called Tatiana and told her he had good news and could she be in his ofice in two hours. She was delighted.

Sofia and Carmen reviewed the travel plans when Ricardo stopped by with the kids. The kids thanked her for helping them to come down. Natalia asked if she would join them later. That might have been exactly what she had been looking for.

Fanny got home and called out to Janneth, whom she found unconscious on the floor. She took out her cell and called for an ambulance. It came and Janneth was taken out on a gurney. Fanny grabbed her car keys and took a deep breath.

Jaime went to see Alonso about Paula's situation, explaining he needed some help in finding Gilberto because Paula couldn't handle another loss at this time.

Tatiana put on her best red dress before coming to Juan's office. The dress was too short, of course, and she crossed her legs as soon as she sat down. Juan explained the job at the courthouse and she had no experience with such work. He told her she would learn quickly and wrote down the relevant information. She thanked him, got up, and paused at the door with her usual extra thanks and comments about how he is the only man to care about her. When he got up she pulled him in by the hands and kissed him. He looked ill at ease.

Sofia must have done her homework on Ricardo's kids; she and Natalia preferred the same flavor of ice cream and she and Federico both liked horror movies. Natalia asked whether she liked animals and which one was her favorite. Ricardo teased that this sounded like an interrogation, but Sofia didn't mind. Both kids seemed to like her. This sounded like they were sizing her up for stepmotherhood. She told them she had to take a business trip the next day but they could do something when she got back.

El Ciego and his two favorite thugs reviewed the distribution map, which included El Gringo's territory. They got nervous, but this seemed to be a plan to flush El Gringo out. They left, probably thinking that their boss was batshit crazy.

Adrian gave Victoria the books he studied from for his certification and said he would help when he got back. She offered to help with his case. He took her hand and she did not object.

A doctor told Fanny that Janneth suffered a vascular problem in the brain and this is affecting all her organs. It is something that presents itself with little or no warning. He told her they were doing everything possible. He went back inside just as the patient's parents arrived. They immediately interrogated Fanny about Janneth and Karla. Karla was at a classmate's home because Fanny didn't think it would have been a good thing to have her at the hospital where she would just sit and worry. Janneth's mother accused Fanny of turning her against her parents and trying to do the same with Karla. Fanny denied this, saying that she was only interested in her daughter's well-being. Janneth's father threatened to have her thrown out of the hospital but Fanny would not leave. She said she would stay until she saw Janneth.

Michelle and El Gringo discussed El Ciego and how to deal with him. They intended to attack from within.

Victoria went to the office the next morning with Adrian's books. Roberto put his foot in the elevator door to get in with her. He started talking about their student days, finally saying that she is studying now to avoid him. Then he moved into her space for the usual reason.

Comments:
Gay marriage as been legal in Mexico for a while but I somehow doubt that Fanny and Janneth are married. The parents are a real piece of work. A case in the making.

What dod you make of Nicolas and the sex talk in the bar? If this had been my parent I would have definitely called it a night.
 

Have only seen part of this, but figured that the Fanny/Janneth story would end in a fight over the custody of the child. Relationships are hard under the best of circumstances, and those which do not have the support of the whole family and the social culture are even more at risk. A tough story.

Don't mean to sound cynical but all that gushing, gooey affection with Sofia and Ricardo's toddler adolescents seemed totally false. Typically the daughter, especially, would want Dad all to herself. She wouldn't be enthused about a new rival for his time and attention, now that Alejandra was gone. The boy might be neutral but again, found the cozy enthusiasm fakey. Send 'em back to Canada!

Juarever...also I'd be perfectly fine with throwing the weasely Gilberto in the slammer, and Alicia with him. But that won't get Paula's house back. What an awful situation.

Well, UA...as to your question... First of all, can't imagine my late father engaging in such a conversation, anywhere, any time. My mom on the other hand, was capable of saying anything. If she chose. Generally guys are less embarrassed by their parents peccadilloes than daughters are. That's all I can tell you. But I'd certainly like to see wee Roberto make a little headway with Victoria. It's been a long wait.
 

And forgive me, mil gracias for another fine recap. You are tireless my friend.
 

Good day to you, Urban. Thank you for plowing through this episode. Just finished watching it. Too many scenes with those toddlers. But I'm ready to tackle your recap.

You deserve a couple of nights off. (I saw that futbol is scheduled for tonight.)

I was SHOCKED, SHOCKED, I say, not that Nick brought up the subject of orgasm in a bar with three lovely young things, but that none of them seemed to have a bloomin' idea of what orgasm was.

So, Roberto picks an elevator to have an intimate discussion and perhaps a romantic kiss with Vickie. Sorry, Bobby, but I'm liking Adrian more and more. More later.
 

Gosh this episode was irritating. I wanted Sofia with Javier. NOO writers!! Why!!! those kids should of never came back i cant believe Elena let them come so easily and for how long even? Let Ricardo grieve i feel this is a slap to Gustavo in a way.

Nancy and Carlos= Meh was bound to happen.

The case seems interesting but im more invested in the sexual harassment case in the US

I like Victoria with Adrian!! Sorry Roberto Victoria isn't like the rest.

 

Excellent recap. Thanks again. One little detail that might be appreciated by anyone who didn't catch the episode is that when Tatiana sat down and her little red dress rode up a bit more, Juan took a nice long look at those legs and probably fantasized on where they ended. I'm sure Fer was sitting on his shoulder reminding him of whom he really loves. No wonder he was uncomfortable with her invasion of his personal space.

For a moment I thought Adrian was going to tell Sofia that this would be too much for her and he was asking Vicky to go with him to NYC. Well, can't have everything at once.

 

Ana--So glad we agree on Vick and Addie. I was checking up on who plays Janneth's mother while you were posting.

I should have recognized her as Silvia Pinal. I think the promos for her bio-pick series looks interesting. I only saw her as an older lady, starting with STuD.
 

UA: You said yesterday...."And for Alonso to take Gilberto's case would be a conflict of interest because Jaime works at Vega." I don't think he works at Vega, although he might have at one time. Maybe he retired from Vega. I was under the impression that he and Alonso are old, close friends. Jaime is never seen at the staff meetings.
 

Jaime joined the firm around the time Alejandra made partner. He wanted to get back in court again.
 

Guess I missed that. Thanks.
 



UA......thx for all recapping you do......Judy B. I agree , those Canadian Bacon toddlers get on my nerves! Ricardo gets on my nerves....baby talking to the Littles! Sophia go directly to Javier’s arms, By pass Mr. “ me siento mal, muy :mal”.
 

Thanks, UA -- will catch up this weekend. I was wondering when Uni was going to get around to giving us a female couple. Gay men have been on TNs for decades.
 

Patio Peeps
Have a good night's rest. Delivery of recap will follow after vigorous intellectual exercise tomorrow.
 

Thank US. INTERESTING RECAP.

NANCY thinks alot about her sexscapade
Abilities. And Carlos could care less
It was probly ale all through the argasms. If there was any. Wow look us
All grownup talkin bout argasm & stuff

I to Would rather see Sofia with javi.
But we can't always get what we want with these tns. I don't feel any kind of chemistry between Ricky & Sofia.
But the writers & directors obviously
Do. Meh! Whatever.

Thank you Urban.
