Me Declaro Culpable #53, 4/30/20: Just another day on the crazy train!
Our Thursday recapper has had life get in the way, so we are all jumping in to get something up on the board. Please add to this, if only in the comments. I'm working from memory, since I watched and deleted hours ago.
- Mauro goes to the Turquoise House of Horrors and Skankiness and tells Gabe he is invited to come live with him. Bianca is in the background, shaking her head a big ole YES! Gabe hasn't had enough chemo to have the dreaded "chemo brain" , so he totally agrees to do that. He does not trust Ingy. Ingrid tried to guilt trip him on staying, Mauro called her on that, and I had to mute the TV to shut her up.
- Alba's day in court. First, did I miss something? She and Franco are acting like they have kissed and made up. Seriously, did I miss something? But I digress. Gael is there, too, and he has done his homework. He has Javier's attending nurse on the witness stand, with a timeline. Alba checked in at 11:43 to see Javier. Shortly after, she ran down to the nurse's station all freaking out, because she had unplugged Javi and plugged him back in. Expert witness said the alarms did not sound because the equipment had been unplugged for thirty seconds, not long enough for alarms to ring.

Me Declaro Culpable #52, 4/29/2020 -- "Luke, I am your father."
Okay, it wasn’t quite like in Star Wars, but today Mauro
tells Gabe, “Gabriel, soy tu abuelo”. But first we must suffer….. Many scenes have been clumped together because today’s
episode was like being the silver ball in a pin ball machine on a Saturday night. During Happy Hour. My head hurts from all the bouncing back and
forth between story lines. Hopefully I
did not leave out anything crucial.
ALBA
The police are trying to haul Alba to jail while she is
screaming (of course) and calling Franco names, chastising him, same-old
same-old.
Later on, there is a near cat-fight in the
prison when some of the other inmates are harassing Natalia. Alba defends her and has one in a very fake-looking
choke move. That’s enough to get Alba
taken away to solitary confinement. THAT cell looks like a dungeon with water running down the walls. Ew.

Me Declaro Culpable #51, 4/28/20: Meanwhile, Back at the...Other Place Where Everybody's Screaming
The Victims
We open where we closed yesterday, with Alba scuttling around in the middle of the post-traumatic street like a particularly shrill windup toy, but soon enough we find ourselves back at Aqua House for the world's worst soiree. Both women are completely verklempt, but Alba has the marginally cooler date: while Franco burps out empty promises and "tranquilates," Mauro just hulks on the couch like a superannuated garden gnome.
Ding-dong! If you haven't watched yet, be sure to be looking right at Franco when Julieta arrives and Alba announces, "This is the woman my son loves!" High point of the entire season, I promise.
The Perps
Gabe, trussed up and blindfolded on a nasty mattress, is the only resident of Alternate Mexico City to wonder why anyone would want to kidnap him.
Gabe: There must be a mistake! We don't have any money!
Thug 1: No kidding. You're dressed worse than us.
Gabe explains the side-effects of chemotherapy, goes green around the gills and threatens to vomit, causing Thug 1 to run away in a panic. He signed up for kidnapping and false imprisonment, not a yorking teenybopper with a fatal disease. Guess he shoulda read the fine print.

Me Declaro Culpable #50, 4/27/20: Just About Everybody Has a No Good, Very Bad Day
Well Petite Patio, it hit the fan hot and heavy today. Lic. Tiziano may still be flying high, but everyone else was brought low. And even though young Gabriel and Julieta got their rocks off, it's fair to assume neither one was very happy by days end. But let's delay the cascade of calamities and spoon feed the episode to you bit by miserable bit. Sounds fun, doesn't it? And if some of you choose to fast-forward through the whole dang thing, well...I've done my best.
Paolo's Really Really Sad Apartment
We begin with our depressing duo: Natalia and Paolo. She's still waxing poetic about how much she loves him, and he's all minor chords as in "Yeah you changed my life too. FOR WORSE! First you broke my body. And then you broke my heart!" This earns him a string of perdonames, and when that doesn't fly, she calls the police station, confesses to her crime and turns herself in. In no time at all, the cops are there, handcuff her and haul her off, while Soggy Paolo cries some more. All I can think of is--if these two ever get back together again and their kids one day ask "Hey Dad, how did you and Mom ever meet?" Do you suppose they'll get the real story?

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 4/25/20: Karmageddon for the guilty in Me Declaro Culpable
It's
that time again, amigos!. There is a lot of guilt to go around in
this cuna de locos.* Too much to resolve in the last dozen
episodes. Not to mention that anything with a title like this will
have lots of consequences for its denizens' actions.
As
usual, this will be a two-part question:
- What fate do you think they deserve?
- What do you think the writers will do to these perverse creatures?

Me Declaro Culpable #49, 4/24/20: It All Starts to Unravel
Subtext: Your dogged Caray reporter sunk her teeth into this
episode, but came up with nary a funny bone.
Sub Subtext: Confessions are not good for the soul in telenovelas, especially when there’s no padre, except for weddings with
comatose grooms.
Sub Sub Subtext: Thank goodness we’re past the apex of this MDC-Virus
and heading for El Por Fin.
Lawyer, Employer,
Father-in-Law (To Be or Not To Be, Depending on the Ending)
Paolo has been in Franco’s office since the last episode
wanting to know about the latest developments in his case, as he heard there were some leads.
Franco looks uncomfortable. He admits there are some new developments but
mumbles an excuse to put it off for a few days yet. He knows he promised Pao to
put the guilty one in front of him and he’ll do it. Next Pao wants to know if
he can come back to work at the bufete. Franco says anytime, the doors are
open. That aside, Pao starts to wax poetic about his love for Nat, etc., etc.,
while Franco is trying to keep his bowels in check. He tells Franco that he
wants to ask for Nat’s hand in marriage. Franco looks at him studiously and
starts his own waxing poetic on what a good guy Pao is. Pao is waiting for a
but. Franco doesn’t add any. Pao suspects he’s saying it because he
feels sorry for him. Franco says no,
never think that. Pao asks him to keep him informed on the case. Franco
desperately wants to head for the bathroom a meeting and says he will.
Pao then delivers the coup de grâce: next to Natalia, Franco is the one
he believes in the most. Franco can’t move.

Me Declaro Culpable #48, 4/23/20: La Neni comes clean
Oh man, what an underwhelming episode. I could probably recap this episode in like half a paragraph, I might actually do it.
So in todays episode Natalia finally gathers the courage to come clean and tell Franco that she is the one responsible for Paolo's accident, unfortunately it takes her forever and I day to spill the beans and before she's able to tell her father the unfortunate truth he gets an edited video of Alba and Julian discussing the accident, the video makes it seem like Alba is trying to keep Franco in the dark about what Natalia did, this deeply upsets Franco and he later breaks up with her.

Me Declaro Culpable #47, 4/22/20: "AND THE WHEELS ON THE BUS SPIN ROUND AND ROUND, ROUND AND ROUND ..."
Well DARN, I had my recrap all written, previewed, and accidentally lost it and some of my brilliant snarky edits. You've been spared. LOL 😀 And now I have to proof and edit again. Here is v.2.0 of today’s “recrap”, Patio.
Some stuff just isn’t worth the bother to report. Nothing major happened, so here we go:
NATALIA
Cara de impactada upon learning that Pao is going home to
live with his mom. (hopefully not in the basement) She wears the most stupid looking dress (even I was choking) to
chase him down at the bus station. No tix left so she buys a ticket to another
destination just to get past TSA. She
tries to stop the bus but it takes off without her. Then she gets into her car and drives next to
it, yelling like a fool, for it to stop.
As if the driver could hear her . . . So she pulls her car in front of
the bus, forcing it to stop, and she forces her way onto it to ask Paolo for
yet(!) another chance. Natalia lines….
Paolo lines …. then we see the bus finally pull away and both of them are on the
street.

Me Declaro Culpable #46, 4/21/20: Everybody's Running, But Nobody's Getting Anywhere
Bride of Frankenstein
Paolo crawls and bawls. Natalia sobs and snivels. Roberta tells Franco if he doesn't do something about Paolo, she'll call the police. He tells her if she doesn't shut up, HE'LL call the police. Julian plays almost-dead. The padre looks everywhere but up.
Franco drags Paolo out into the waiting room and tells him it's very sad, but we can't fix everyone's lives for them. Based on literally everything we know about him, this is clearly a case of "do as I say, not as I do." He finally persuades Paolo to go cry somewhere else.
Roberta marches out of Julian's room and tells Franco everyone is waiting. He says they can wait longer. She tells him the padre has to leave. He says offer him overtime. She promises to take a wedding picture for him and marches back in again.
Franco drags Natalia out into the waiting room and tells her she's a grown woman, then proceeds to treat her like a two-year-old. I guess he's both good cop and bad cop. Apparently it works, because he returns to the room and coolly announces that Nati has left the building.
And Julian still doesn't move a muscle. What if he really is dead? Wouldn't that be funny?

Me Declaro Culpable #45, 4/20/20: Another Hot Mess of an Episode
Would you believe, Patio, that I'm beginning to miss the crazy hijinks of Hijas these days? It's true. At least we had some beach scenes. And some muscular fellas in bathing suits. Now it's Nose-Hair Mauro, Beady-Eyed Julian and Soggy Paolo. Oh well, moving on...here's what happened today in our storm-tossed, über-dramatic world of suspect lawyers and star-crossed lovers.
In a nutshell, Bertie and Tiz tighten the screws on Papi Mauro. Ingrid and Julian get busy in his hospital room. Natalia has a passionate night with Paolo as a way of "saying good-bye". Gael learns he's going to be-- not a dad but a lawyer who helps place his baby for adoption. And Alba finds out Franco is off her case and her son has leukemia.
I'm tempted to leave it right there. And maybe you are too. But for those who want more detail, buckle up. And suck it up. 'Cause here we go.

Me Declaro Culpable #44, 4/17/20: Talking Heads All Day; Nobody Dies, Yet
Today was different from all other days. No action, no
deaths, no murders, no suicides, no accidents, no dancing on the terrace, no smoldering kisses. All
we got was talking heads. The main topic was a wedding. Will she or won’t she? Natalia’s
family and friends take sides. Julián is dying, but instead of rushing to his
side, Nat spends the whole day polling the interested parties.
ATTENTION: Me Declaro Culpable Has Officially Jumped the
Shark Today.
Here’s where it all starts.
Ingrid and the
Semi-corpse
While on hospital watch, Ingy, for some unfathomable reason,
pushes the idea of Julián conning Natalia into marriage. She suggests he remain
on death watch while she figures out how to bribe the doctors to see it their
way. Nat almost catches them plotting or Ingy plotting, that is, when she
returns to take her turn in the vigil. She feverishly tries to get a comatose
Julián to react. Later Ingy lies and tells Nat that Julián will most probably
expire. He told Ingy he loved Nat with all his heart and his dying wish is the
same as he had while he lived—to marry her. It’s his dream. She asks Nat to
think about it. Nat, seriously, seems to take the information under advisement.

Me Declaro Culpable #43, 4/16/20: Roberta gets help
Hi Patio Peeps, lets get down to tonight's recap:
Natalia is having flashbacks to the semi nice things that Julian did for her- she forgets the part where he drugged her drink in an attempt to date rape her and in turn caused her to run over Paolo causing him to become paralyzed. Minor details.
Gabriel: I hate recapping his scenes cause he annoys me. Anyways, Gabe is sad because he has leukemia and is angry that Ingrid hid this from him. Does he have leukemia or are his symptoms due to the drugs that Ingrid has been sneaking in his food? If his dad had leukemia then why did he have memory loss as one of his symptoms? Someone explain this to me! I diagnose this telenovela with a case of bad writing. I don't think it will make a full recovery #thoughtsandprayers.

Me Declaro Culpable #42, 4/15/20: Ever try to kill a cockroach, or even just get rid of one?
Patio, here is today’s recrap. At least I dutifully stayed awake. Some scenes were left out, but here is what you need to know:
GABRIÉL
Gabe is talking to Alba on the phone and they both decide he
just does not understand what he is reading on those medical test results, so
they’ll go with whatever Ingrid told them. (Really, Alba? When did you start trusting Ingy?)
Thank goodness, Gabe has a brain. He goes to see the
doctor (looks like with no appointment) who tells him he has leukemia. Cara de impactada de Gabriel. So much for ever believing anything Ingrid says. Right?

Me Declaro Culpable #41, 4/14/20: The Number You Have Dialed Is Out of Its Mind
Hotel Mea Culpa
If it's Tuesday, we must be in...wait...exactly the same spot we were in last Tuesday? No wonder I feel like I'm not getting anywhere in life.
Alba totters down the precarious, wet, sandy stairs in her high-heeled platform sandals, because of course now is the time to change out of sensible shoes. She is charmed by Franco's surprise party, which seems to include the additional hazards of drinking champagne and sitting on giant spiny yoga balls next to a railing that consists of nothing more than two pieces of saggy rope. If these two were baddies, it would all be very suspenseful, but unfortunately they're endgame so there's no point getting excited.
Alba is amazed that Franco had time to plan all this when "he is always so busy at work." I start laughing hysterically, and so do they, only in slow motion and for an absurdly long time.
Flophouse Urzua
Apparently Nat got hungry and came home. Margara surprises her with her head in the refrigerator and hands her a passive-aggressive suicide note from Roberta saying she has nothing more to live for now that everyone has abandoned her. Cara de impactada de Natalia: all this and they're out of yoghurt, too?

Me Declaro Culpable #40, 4/13/20: Fish Or Cut Bait, Nati, We're Sick Of Your Whining
Ugh and double Ugh. Lots of unpleasantness in this one, including Tiziano's "whistle while you work" demeanor as he and his henchie fix up poor strangled Rufino to look like he hung himself. Still whistling, Tizzy shuffles through his various papers till he finds the suicide note he concocted and leaves that on the prison cot. The script looked quite elegant actually, way too refined for the poor wastrel that Rufino seemed to be. And then our macabre pair gaily exit the cell, having cheerfully wrapped up [no pun intended] all their work. Yikes.
Elsewhere, Ingrid is giving her usual over-the-top academy awards performance as a distraught auntie learning her nephew has the same dreaded disease that killed her brother. Doc, who first wanted to talk to Gabe's mom, but then settles for Ingrid, says the lad must start chemo as soon as possible. This is a very aggressive malady. More histrionics.

Me Declaro Culpable #39, 4/10/20: And the Band Played On..and On…and On
Prologue
In case anyone missed this little gem yesterday—When Tizzie called Bertie to tell her that Marga had spilled the beans, he told her they can’t use spousal abuse any longer in their petition for divorce. He said they would have to think of something else. Hmmmm.
No toothbrush, no make-up, no hairbrush, poor Natty
Nat is trying to get away from La Loca Madre so fast she only packs a couple of silk baby doll p.j.s, not even a spare pair of spike heels. She tells her mother she’s not sure where she’s going, but she sure is gong. Bertie yells that she’ll be sorry, as Nat flees. (Bertie’s bustle looks odd without being under a floor-length Victorian gown.)
Left alone, she tears the house apart looking for the security cameras. We know she’s loca because she’s looking under sofa cushions. Jousting lance in hand, Doña Quijote tilts at black mini-objects near the ceiling. These are real. She knocks them down and begins collecting them. She makes a clean sweep, finding the last one in her bedroom. The one good thing is she did it without a drink in the other hand.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 4/10/20: Crimes of Fashion, 7th Edition
It's
been quite a while since we've gotten out the kitty litter to sling
at the guilty parties in the world of fashion crimes. I anticipate a
chorus of meows and a few hisses at some of these:
Silly neckwear is not limited to people who can't afford better.

Me Declaro Culpable #38, 4/9/20: Different day, same old fights
Short recap ahead cause I'm tired.
Franco, Alba & Roberta- with some Tizano thrown in:
As covered in yesterday's recap Roberta taunted Alba about killing her husband and Alba snapped and gave Roberta a well deserved smack across the face, Roberta threatens to destroy Alba-again. Who wants to keep count of how many times Roberta threatens to kill Alba? And omg why is Roberta still roaming free? Like if any of us threatened someone with death we would at the very least get a restraining order filed against us.
Also, this shows editing sucks. Next thing we know Tizano is demeaning Franco for still working for his father in law (we have heard this same fight before) and Franco counters with "yeah, but I have a good reputation, and I don't have to lie and cheat to win cases, and if you two want to claim I hit Roberta go to it".
Margarita breaks down and confesses to Natalia that she lied, Franco never hit Roberta and the only reason she lied was because Roberta threatened her job.

Me Declaro Culpable #37, 4/8/20: Nothing to see here, folks.
If your DVR broke or your signal went out, don’t worry ---
be happy. Most. boring. episode.
yet. It was a struggle to stay awake. The only interesting thing that
happened in this snoozer was in the final
scene when Roberta shows up with hair twelve inches longer than we’ve seen all
season. Quééé??? (that's Spanish for Whaaaaaat? ... because it's all about the Spanish, right?)
On the positive side, we had a Gael + Bianca sighting; the bright
spot in our day. Their “cita-thon” is an
ongoing success. Woot! Now they’re off to the aquarium. The Gail + Bianca table on The Patio is so happy.
Some scenes combined, some scenes ignored. Enjoy.
--- ROBERTA STEALS MOST OF TODAY’S SHOW
Natalia falls for Berta’s Oscar winning performance of “poor
me, look what your daddy dearest did to
me.” Hook, line, and sinker. Argh. Even Franco can't convince Nat he is innocent.
Bertie also threatens her maid Margarita’s job security if she tells
anyone the truth about Bert’s hand injury.
Marga says she will not nominate her for Boss of the Year, and complies.
Later, Roberta calls on Margarita to tell Natalia that
Franco hit Bertie and caused the hand injury.
The wicked witch of Mexico was pleased. Margarita gets to keep her job another day.

Me Declaro Culpable #36, 4/7/20: Everybody Doesn't Like Someone
Aqua House o' Drama
Ingrid runs out into the street and pulls Mauro off Julian. Mauro promptly breaks up with her, although it's not clear whether the precipitating factor was the sleeping around, the sleeping around with a subordinate, or the interruption of the strangling of the subordinate. Either way, she's been a really annoying girlfriend. "Hospital!" croaks Julian. "Tequila!" hisses Ingrid. She wins. Nobody turns off the car alarm.
Cafe TMI
Tizzy drops in to taunt Gael about his apron. "I knew you were a terrible lawyer, but this is your side gig?" Gael tells him he's just helping out "Blanquita" -- I'm not sure the diminutive is evidence of advancing intimacy, but I'll take what I can get -- and if he's late to work, Tiz can go ahead and sue him. After Gael dashes off with some plates, Tizzy copies Franco's hotel info from the napkin where Gael had jotted it down.
Reclusorio of Misdirected Emotion
After Natalia hits the floor, Paolo flings himself out of his wheelchair so he can lie down next to her and pet her like a kitty. Now he's twice as mad at Rufino -- "Look what you did to this poor, innocent girl!" I'm surprised she can get up from under the weight of all that irony, but before you know it she's back at Paolo's place having a conversation that's so boring I've forgotten it already. Anyway, she remembers Julian saying it would be better to be hated for being Juls' flip-flopping arm candy than for being Paolo's fateful instrument of doom, so she calls her favorite mental retrograde and asks him to come and get her.

Me Declaro Culpable #35, 4/6/20: Mauro Makes his Move
Hi Patio! Have you ever noticed how the best part of an episode usually comes during the very last nano-second? It sure did today. We got to see canny old fox Mauro trap Julian when he tried to turn off the car alarm in his snazzy convertible. And then wrap a black leather belt tightly around his neck, ready to squeeze all the man juice out of our treacherous lawyer. Of course it's too soon for Juls to make an exit, but still--the sight was sweet indeed.
That was not the only damage done. Roberta, dressed in bright spring pink today, deliberately slammed her hand in a door in order to have grisly proof for a legal medical expert that hubby Franco was abusing her. Evidently father and daughter are both prepared to go to painful lengths to insure that they get what they want, when they want it. Remains to be seen if this drastic strategy works.

Me Declaro Culpable #34, 4/3/20: Da Bomb Was a Dud but the Warning Was Not
Our JuJu Princess Prognosticator was right! Franco and Alba
don’t leave the series—yet. However, it could have been possible to have
something go awry, cause some damage, maybe even require hospitalization.
Instead, we get some aftermath canoodling in the NoTell Café, where everybody
knows your name business, especially when you don’t hide it.
Franco and Alba are in the bomb-armed car (confirmed by Franco by using his cell phone as a selfie mirror—very clever). They are clutching each other for dear life, like maybe it’s the last time they’ll ever feel something. Neither wants to leave the other. They just wait, terrified, for the explosion. Mystery man calls again and says, in essence, “Fooled ya. But I’m your worst enemy and be on guard, because I’m gonna eat you little fishy.” (Well, actually that was Cat in Red Dwarf—see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMlDlu-MTRo). Franco and Alba are celebrating their near miss. He tries to explain there are lots of folks out there who might be provoked by hatred and revenge, but never taken to this level. Alba is horrified. Franco entreats her into more macking and canoodling. He tells her, “All I need is you and a couple of whiskies.” Since they never got to Gabe’s to give him the news, Alba will text him to come by later. Meanwhile, the hugging goes on and Franco’s brilliant white teeth practically light up the place.

Me Declaro Culpable #33, 4/2/20: An episode full of bombs
Morning patio peeps! My apologies for this super late recap, I'm so stressed out that my body just shut down, I was getting ready to recap and next thing I know it's five am and my cat was chewing on my hair. Now on to our recap:
Natalia and Pablo:
Pablo learns from Franco that Natalia is hiding out in Morelos with her friend Valentina, Franco gives Pablo Valentinas address and Pablo rolls down there for a final visit with Natalia, basically they breakup (again)- this leads to Pablo later having a crying fit, getting drunk and crawling around his bedroom floor, thank goodness for his bro who comes in, picks him up and gets him coffee, then he throws a fully clothed Pablo into the shower.

Me Declaro Culpable #32, 4/1/20: Nat confessed to Pao, Bertie offs herself instead, and Ingrid just vaporizes with Javier
NOT!!! Just a bad April Fools’ Day joke. ~meh~ Actually, this is episode #32 out of 62
episodes, so we’re at the point of no return. On the downhill slide. Some scenes are combined, while others are glossed over or completely ignored. (No guarantee on accuracy. Please feel free to correct any mistakes.)
No
Gael & Bianca sightings, and Mauro was a busy guy today.
NATALIA & ALBA
Nat tells Alba she chickened out on telling Pao the truth and
deleted the video from the new cell phone she bought for him. The patio is not surprised. Convo that follows is more of the same. And they
discuss Franco & Roberta’s pending divorce.
Lather, rinse, repeat. Boring.
JULIAN & KATIA
Julian call Katia to tell her Paolo and Natalia are planning
to marry. If they work together, they
can stop it. So they meet at a local
hotel room to work on their scheme of outing Natalia. The only thing Julian really works on is macking on Katia, who has now become another notch on his belt of babes bagged. We are spared that scene. Ew. Cooties.
I hope he has had his shots.
Katia, too.
