Me Declaro Culpable #11, 3/3/20: Nuclear-Option Families
Bufete Monroy-Urzua:
Mauro tells Ingrid the judge has ordered her to undergo a psych eval, and she goes all poor pitiful me on him. He has clearly never been all the way around the block, because he falls for it hook, line and wishful thinking. He swears he is willing to make his son-in-law his worst enemy...if it's for her. Gawd, what a dope.
Alba brings Franco a sexy salad in his moonlight office, and he insists they share it. I hope she at least brought two forks. She confesses she has to hang out for a while because she's temporarily turned the Coffee Shop into an AirBnB for a lovelorn "friend."
Roberta shows up hoping for a romantic round two but overhears Franco and Alba giggling behind the closed door. She ducks down and calls him, pretending that Natalia's having a crisis and needs him right now, as in RIGHT NOW. Super Dad flies out the door and Mommy Dearest flies in, grabbing fistfuls of Al's hair and calling her every name we've already heard and at least one we still haven't, because it was so bad it got bleeped out. Any lip-readers out there?
Roberta tells Alba she's just the latest in a long line of penniless little foxes that Franco represents free of charge...only so he can take it out in trade later on. She encourages her rival to enjoy his attention while it lasts -- he'll always come back to his family, coz it's just so gosh-darn fun over there.
No-Tell Coffee Shop:
Nat has the place all done up with candles and champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries, but all she really wants to do is sit in Paolo's lap. After a certain number of sweet nothings, she tells him he talks too much. "Love doesn't need words. You just feel it...right here." We can't see where her hand goes, but she seems to be a nice girl, so we'll assume it's his heart. Many besos.
Ingrid's House of Occult Tacos:
Ingrid summons Javier with her ouija board and begs him for advice. There is no pain here, he tells her -- only love. But not enough for a party, apparently, because he needs the two of them with him. She knows what she needs to do. Gulp.
She sneaks into Gabe's room and picks up a pillow...but Gabe wakes up and tells her to stop popping into his room to check on him like he's 8 years old. She goes back out into the kitchen and tells Javier she can't do it. He's her little boy -- the only little boy she'll ever have after that botched abortion Javier made her get. Javier points out that she didn't even know who the father was because she'll hike up her gypsy skirt for anyone, and she objects to this datum not in the slightest, so it seems to be true. Nevertheless, harsh, bro.
Gabe films her clutching Javier's invisible knees and begging for forgiveness, then calls Alba and tells her she's gotta see this.
The Mansion of No Locks:
Roberta finally comes home and finds Franco in a snit because his daughter isn't even there. She pretends Nat was so upset she ran off somewhere and tries to cozy up to Franco, but nothing doing. He says he's going to a hotel.
The next morning, Roberta tricks Nat's friend (Valentina?) into admitting that she was covering for her the night before so she could sneak off with Paolo. Then Bertie calls Olga the receptionist and asks her to come over and pick up some papers. When Olga arrives, Roberta plies her with designer dress hand-me-downs and recruits her for a nefarious scheme. I hope it involves poor Olga actually putting on one of those frocks, because she really needs a new luke.
El Bufete:
Franco tells his father-in-law that it is completely unethical for them to be representing opposing parties in a case. Mauro says he isn't representing Ingrid, just advising her. As a friend. However, what he won't tolerate is Franco divorcing his daughter -- if that happens, his name's off the door. Think about it, yerno -- is she worth it?
Casa Ingrid:
Julian materializes for some strong coffee and heavy-handed flirting, which culminates in him telling her he knows what she likes and lunging across the table. They're interrupted by Gabe coming home early from school, but after he goes to his room Julian continues to take off his belt in a menacing manner. Ingrid tells him he has to leave, and there are no stuffed animals to manhandle, so he does.
Cafe Alba:
Olga delivers some important papers to Alba and tells her Franco wants her to sign them and bring them back to his hotel at the end of the day. He is not to be disturbed until then because he is super, super busy.
Hotel Tricky Business:
When Alba arrives with the papers, the hotel clerk gives her a key and sends her up to the room, where she finds a mash note from "Franco" and a nasty red teddy (and not the kind with fluffy little ears.) She's still reeling in shock when he walks in and utters that immortal bingo line...all together, now..."Que haces aqui???" Alba lays into him good, so indignant and outraged that he couldn't get a word in edgewise even if he had one, which he doesn't. He's so confused it doesn't even occur to him to say "that's not my lingerie," which might help a little. But maybe not, because Alba's working up to her big line: "MY DIGNITY...IS NOT FOR SALE."
Aaaaand cut.
Dangling questions:
- Didn't Alba find it the least bit strange that Franco had to run out on her because Natalia was having a crisis...in the middle of her own romantic dinner, sixteen feet away?
- How did Roberta even know the location of Franco's hotel, much less finagle a key to his room?
- Why do all of Ingrid's outfits look as if they've been mauled by bears?

Gracias,Blue Lass. This story is wasting no time.
So now we know at least part of the reason Ingrid is so possessive of Gabriel. Well, if it's true that Javier made Ingrid get an abortion years ago, he had to have known that she would be a crappy mother and likely a clear and present danger to any child in her care. This may be the biggest thing she and Alba would have fought over during the entire time they lived together.
BTW, since Javier is telling her what she wants to hear in those "ghost" scenes it should be obvious that she is hallucinating. Nobody else sees him and Gabriel recorded this on his cell phone as evidence that Tia is BSC. How much of this imaginary interaction is re-written history? Probably 99% of it.
Mauro must be desperate to get some action if he swallows everything Ingrid says. Even having any relationship with her should be regarded as a conflict of interest. He has no idea yet what damage Roberta has done. I can't recall another psycho sister on her level since Alejandra Barro's Julieta and Laura Carmine's Nuria in AQNMD.
Surely there must be a nice widow in Mauro's social circle who would love it if he would take her to dinner and the opera.
I'm sure we'll eventually have a cage match between Ingrid and Roberta in Ultimas Semanas. I'll bring the virtual chocolate (Dove, Russel Stover, and Godiva) for the occasion.
On to Natalia:
I read all the previous comments and completely agree that she should have reported the accident immediately. She could have been checked for X or rohypnol before it cleared her system. Of course then we would only have half a story because that would have neutralized Julian. BTW, I don't find him attractive because he looks like a thug.

Blue Lass – thank you for your snarktastic recap!
I love “No-Tell Coffee Shop”, “Ingrid's House of Occult Tacos”, and “The Mansion of No Locks”.
Gabrield was almost the victim of almohadacide! Good thing he was spared.
It will be fun when he shares his video of cray cray Ingrid.
I have no idea what bleeped out name Bertie called Alba and I don't read lips, but I kept just wanting Alba to yank Bertie’s hairpiece/wig right off her head. Fun times...
”Franco tells his father-in-law that it is completely unethical for them to be representing opposing parties in a case.”
Absolutely correct! Yeesh….. that Mauro is a slimebucket. Maybe he is Javier’s secret bio-dad.
”- Didn't Alba find it the least bit strange that Franco had to run out on her because Natalia was having a crisis...in the middle of her own romantic dinner, sixteen feet away?”
This didn’t bother me because my beanie hat is too tight, as it should be. What was strange was the fact that the hotel TOLD Alba Frankie’s room number, then GAVE Alba the key to his room. (Surely Bertie paid the desk clerk off) And then Alba was stupid enough to go on up there.
Is Alba just terminally naïve? Or just dumber than a rock?
”- Why do all of Ingrid's outfits look as if they've been mauled by bears?”
OMG this had me guffawing.

Continuing right along...
Roberta needs to be in a padded room. Her attacks on Alba and Natalia show that she is a murderess waiting for an excuse. Her accusations against Alba are an excuse and she has had no real evidence of any impropriety. We WASPS don't hug as freely as people from other cultures do, so we cringe at this but Roberta's world view is limited to what she wants no matter who gets screwed in the process. When she nearly squished Julian's family jewels in the beginning she seemed very Mama Bear, but now that her precious family name is (in her mind) at stake she is willing to throw her own daughter -- her only child -- under the bus. She is just as much a monster as Julian.
Julian has a long list of offenses against Natalia and yet Roberta still expects her to take it. She should have her motherhood revoked. He should end up with the operation she didn't complete.

Thanks for the recap, Blue! Super Dad and Mommy Dearest...perfecto! I also especially enjoyed how Julian leaves as "there are no stuffed animals to manhandle".
When Olga gave the papers to Alba she said that Franco had left her a note with directions to the hotel. Then when she got there and the receptionist said she could wait in his room, Alba said she'd prefer to stay in the lobby. I think the way the receptionist thrust the key at her shows that Roberta was one step ahead handing out dinero.
I have no idea why Alba didn't say anything when Franco clearly said "Voy a ver mi hija".
My favorite part of the episode was watching Ingrid's eyes when Gabriel almost walked in on her moment of passion. She is such a fun character to watch!
Why oh why didn't Alba us the same choke hold on Roberta that we've seen her use on Ingrid? She's just asking to get bullied more. If you've got those prison skills, use them for self defense!
Natalia's pretty dress was perfect for that twirly dance she was doing. Wasn't that whimsical? I loved Paolo getting into the groove and popping a wheely!
Thanks again for the recap, Blue!

Okay, in defense of Alba (as weak as this is), she may have assumed Natalia's date at the No-Tell Coffee Shop had... tanked. Backfired. Crashed & burned. Ended badly. Whatever... when Franco got the phone call.
What fun to start the day with a sassy Blue Lass recap. Always a treat. Here are just some of my favorite lines:
falls for it hook, line and wishful thinking
Super Dad Mommy Dearest
Ingrid's House of Occult Tacos
...she'll hike up her gypsy skirt for anyone
[Franco] couldn't get a word in edgewise even if he had one, which he doesn't
Why do all of Ingrid's outfits look as if they've been mauled by bears?
Okay, as far as the story goes, I was horrified to learn that Javier had insisted on his sister having an abortion. We've had him painted as a wonderful, loving husband whom his wife couldn't bring herself to "disconnect" in spite of his pleas. But now I understand why Ingrid was quite capable of doing it.
This casts Ingrid in a whole new light for me. She was a victim of Javier, long before he became HER victim. Not saying that she would have been a great mom, but ye gods, forcing a woman to abort!...that to me, is a heinous crime. I'm not laying any flowers on his grave. And wondering if Alba knew about the forced abortion.
I realize opinions may differ greatly on this question. But this adds an element to the story that really darkens it. Certainly a different plot twist.
I agree with everyone that Natalia, in her wonderful swishy skirt and Paolo popping wheelies was a sweet distraction from all the hateful, emotional mayhem.
And just a delightful recap, full of humor and snark. Thanks Blue Lass.

And no sweet scene goes unpunished in telenovelaland. I was expecting Julian to crash that party. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Thank you, Blue Lass, I really needed a laugh this morning, as I'm surrounded by all the Corona Virus talk on tv, at work, basically everywhere I turn around.
I don't know about your respective states, but France is taking it very seriously, more so in my région, where they diagnosed several cases. The fact that I work in a hotel at the airport only makes things worse.
Anyway, enough ranting, back to the show.
Is it ok if I find Bertie so much more entertaining than Natalia and Alba combined ? I'm having serious trouble especially with Alba. All the lawyer hugging is highly inappropriate and I find her innocent face and voice somewhat unrealistic for someone who has had to care for a sick husband for so long and actually had the guts to pull the plug (even if only briefly).
Franco is not on my faves list, either. That romp he had with Bertie just as he was finally taking actual steps to leave her was such a stupid move, one wonders what other idiocy we're about to see next.

It's a plot propeller and the usual way that protagonists are kept apart, especially when Roberta announces she is pregnant even -- or especially -- if she is lies like a rug.
Adriana...So sorry to hear that you are working in an airport hotel. Of course you feel at risk. Here in the U.S. we are gradually realizing the seriousness of it. The Arnold Schwarzenegger Health and Fitness conference held here in March, brings thousands of people here to compete and to just take part in it. They have now scaled it back dramatically to just two events with a minimum of participation because of the Coronavirus situation. And airlines are offering cancellations of booked flights without penalty since so many people fear to travel right now.
Anyway, thoughts and prayers for your health and for the health of your young family.

JudyB, it's possible that Javier did not make Ingrid get an abortion, and it's all just a figment of her imagination -- just like their little taco parties. Having said that, I actually tend to think it's true. The writers seem to be trying to make the baddies a little more nuanced (in motivation, if not in behavior), and I appreciate that.
Good point, BLUE...this may just be Ingrid's twisted way of justifying her actions (as well as projecting them onto Alba). But on the other hand, it would explain her fervid desire to have Alba out of the way so that Gabriel would be HER son and no one else's. Time will tell whether the story is true or not. Lots of interesting puzzles with this story. Was Roberta really abused? Was Ingrid really forced to have an abortion? And who knows what other burning questions will arise. So far it's been a fun and interesting ride.
ROSEMARY LA OTRA...Forgot to add, the other day, YES! Franco is pure saccharine when it comes to his darling daughter. She's been the love of his life, not Roberta. And the latter certainly knows it.
Our two "witches" are perhaps" more sinned against than sinning". Um, no, guess not. Murder kind of trumps everything else.

Blue Lass--What a snarkalicious feast you served up. Everybody got a dose of it.
Julian unbuckling his belt in a menacing manner--I thought it was so his little soldier could pop out without removing any other clothing, but that's me--Julian is gutter material.
Dangling Question, Blue Lass- How did Roberta even know the location of Franco's hotel, much less finagle a key to his room? Dontcha know by now there is Only One Hotel in that Ritzy Neighborhood? It's a subset of TOHIM.
Loved these the most: "...she's temporarily turned the [No-Tell] Coffee Shop into an AirBnB for a lovelorn "friend.""
Ingrid's House of Occult Tacos
[Olga] ...really needs a new luke
...there are no stuffed animals to manhandle [I have now revised my thinking of teddy bears. Didn't the one he did manhandle also have a tail? Could it have been a cute pure-bred white Castillian version of Mickey or Minnie Mouse?]
Urban--great insight, as always. "Surely there must be a nice widow in Mauro's social circle who would love it if he would take her to dinner and the opera." It won't be me--and I'm not a widow, but I am up for dinner and an opera. Right now I'm off to catch the encore of the Met's Agrippina at a local movie theater.
I thought they bleeped out "Golfa," but that's so tame these days. We need to check novelera's list of bleeped swearwords. Will be back later.

Blue Lass, thanks for the good laugh; you knocked it out of the park!
How cute that Alba's dress color matched Franco's tie. These two are really stretching it..and then they insist it's only a client-attorney relationship. HA! Do they really think they are fooling anyone...other than themselves?
Adriana Noel, I have to admit that I too find Bertie most entertaining...despite hating her. I always look forward to listening to her threats (especially to Julian), watching her expressions and that infamous, "SHHH-SHHHHH!" She's quite the actress!
Blue Lass, "it's possible that Javier did not make Ingrid get an abortion, and it's all just a figment of her imagination." I wouldn't doubt it! The woman has more than a few loose neurons under that mane of hair.

BlueLass this was so funny. Iam so glad for you recappers cuz the way things are, y'all we need to laugh.
Julian getting hot and heavy, but has to chill it down cuz Ingrid cant help him burn it off right now. No stuffed animals to abuse so he leaves.
What's even funnier is ingy holding invisible knees and begging them. Gabe
Took pictures. Is this tn a dramedy or
Just drama cuz it's more funny than anything else. Or is it that the you
Recappers are so good at Makin it better than the Writters could ever have done it? I vote for yall, yaaay!!
When alba cools down she will most
Likely realize that frankyboo had no
Idea what the heck was going on. And it was a set up by none other than our
Birdy that flew over the coocoo's nest
Berti.
And as for hoochy daddy Mauro taking franco's name off the door, just knock
Yourself dad, your baby girl's elavater don't go all the way to the top and it's probly your fault.
The man's a lawyer they're in high demand these days. He probly Wont miss a beat after leaving that circus. Hang
His name on his own door.
Julian will probly find a way to come between natty n Paola. Is that "Paul"
In english?
Thanks Blue this was fun.
