Imperio de Mentiras #59, 12/18/20: You'll Never Walk Alone. Don't Even Try.
THE NIGHT BEFORE
Grand Central Love Shack
Leo finally comes out of the Little Policeman's Room to discover Cris has vaporized and Elisa is in a funk. She wants to turn herself in. He doesn't want her to. Adri and Mario walk in and say the coast is clear, so they group up into a convoy to go back to Mexico.
Leo asks Adri to pep Elisa up while he phones his mom, so she climbs into the driver's seat and says hey. El wants to know if Leo and Cris were a thing, but Adri waves that off. Elisa also feels bad that Adri and Mario are risking their careers for her. She doesn't want to make any more trouble. Adri tells her that she and Mario are Leo's best friends, and Elisa is the most important person in the world to Leo, and that's why they will never leave her alone. Elisa sniffs prettily.
Can't-Do War Room
The New Can't-Do Trio are still hashing out what to do about Dario's mom when Ren suddenly remembers what she's been reading in the Caray comments all week: she has an apartment! Why don't they take Piedad there? Then she realizes Clara and Majo aren't listening, so she leaves them alone to work out their girl stuffs.
Majo tries to friendzone Clara, but Clara isn't sure she can deal. Majo goes on to give a pretty impressive explanation of trauma-bonding as the reason both she and Clara are attached to the wrong people. Clara politely does not point out that at least she never pointed a gun at her, bled all over her, or made her get naked on the phone.
Mea Culpa Hospital
Elisa and Leo arrive for Velasco support duty, with Adri and Mario on their heels. JL pulls Adri aside and rips her a new one for showing her face in front of his family: "You make me feel dirty!" What a tool.
JL and Leo go off to sign some Very Important Papers regarding Leslie's treatment, and Sara comforts gloomy Elisa. She tells her she saved Leo from drowning in his own grief. He truly loves her, and so he will never leave her alone. If I were Elisa, I'd be starting to feel a teensy bit claustrophobic right about now.
Leslie wakes up and asks for Leo. She wants him to tell her what's really wrong; she knows her parents will shine her on. "Be brave!" he tells her. "You have The Only Childhood Disease in Mexico, but you're young and strong and we're all here for you and we will never, ever leave you alone." Leslie starts to cry, probably because she realizes she will not have a moment of privacy for the rest of her natural life.
Fernanda's Home for Wayward Skanks
Fer has put on a bra under her office slutwear, which I guess is her way of kicking back. She tells her mom that Sonia's right, they do need to get away. She has some jewels she can sell and some money saved up: they'll leave in the morning. Carmen says she'll always be with her and take care of her, forever and ever, which obviously isn't worth much in real money but sounds creepy just the same.
Guest Cottage of the Wicked Witch
Sonia comes out of her swoon and notices the picture of Julia and Leo on the nightstand. "Is that your daughter?" she asks Nieves. "The one who was found dead with Augusto Cantu?" Upsi. Nieves demands to know who she really is and what she's doing there -- RIGHT NOW, or she's throwing her out on her pillow.
Icky & Euw's Chamber of Horrors
Vic's sitting around in her man-jamas waiting for Eu to freshen up when his phone starts ringing, and since everybody's business is her business, she goes over to take a look. It's Fernanda, who doesn't look like she's going to give up. When Eu comes out in his matching jammies, she's not in the mood (and thank God, because neither are we.)
Back at Can't-Do
Elisa rolls in and calls a family council. Majo parks Clara back up in her bedroom like a favorite scarf that doesn't match any of her outfits.
Ren gripes to Elisa about Vicky trying to trick them into signing over the company. Elisa says Majo should sign -- and not to worry, their shares are safe. Majo says then what do we need Fabricio for? (It's about time someone asked that question.) Elisa still seems to think he has some kind of skills, but she believes in a lot of invisible things. She tells Majo to keep a close eye on him, though. (Has Majo even been sober long enough to get up in time for work?)
Anyway, she has something important to tell them before she goes away again. She asks them not to freak out. "Daddy and Fernanda were lovers." They seem to take the news pretty calmly.
Jaja! Never mind. It was just a delayed reaction.
Majo: What?
Ren: But she has a child with Fabricio!
Majo: What?
Ren: Oops. I wasn't supposed to tell.
Majo: How do we know it isn't DAD'S kid?
Elisa: Because she told me so.
Ren: What?
Majo: Well, you're going to fire her, right?
Elisa: I can't. Her mom is sick.
Majo: WHAT??? She's an orphan.
Elisa: Well, she did kind of lie about that.
Majo: Anyway, you don't have to go anywhere. Dario's going to recant.
Elisa: How do you know?
Majo: He's trading me for hiding his mom.
Elisa: What?
Elisa asks where Vicky is, because obviously what this freakshow needs is yet another BSC female, but Ren tells her she ran away from home. Somehow this all ends in a group hug with nothing resolved.
THE MORNING AFTER
Guest Cottage of the Wicked Witch
Clara turns up to get her stuff (I guess she's moving into Elisa's room) but spends so much time arguing with her mother that Ren comes in to see what's taking so long...and comes face-to-face with Sonia.
Ren: What are you doing here?
Nieves: Who are you?
Ren: YOU'RE PREGNANT?
Nieves: You two know each other?
Ren: IS THAT MY HUSBAND'S BABY?
Nieves: I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ALLOWED TO SHOUT IN HERE.
Clara: Why don't we just leave them alone?
Nieves: Because the crazy one's gonna hurt the sniffy one!
Ren: IS THAT MY HUSBAND'S BABY?
Sonia: ok i'll talk to her
Precinct Block Party
Leo drops by the house to pick up Elisa for another fun fugitive road trip and learns she left early with Adri. He calls Adri and wants to know where they are -- at the police station, she tells him.
Adri walks into JL's office with Elisa, and Mario calls Cristina to give her the news. (Why, Mario? Why???) By the time Leo shows up to protest, there are a dozen other people in there, and half of them have to restrain him while the other half snap on the cuffs.
Adri tries to explain that Elisa came voluntarily, but he continues raging like a leopard in a drop-net. Maybe he does have an anger management problem.
Fernanda's Home for Wayward Skanks
Fer's rolling out her suitcase when Fab appears in the doorway. Where does she think she's going? Juanito gives him a perky little wave.
Fer says she can go anywhere she wants, and he agrees -- she can, but not with his son. Fer tells him he's not on the birth certificate and boo-yah. They're heading out as soon as she can round up mom. Where is mom, anyway...?
Yep, you guessed it: on the floor and looking pretty dead. Fer goes to pieces. Fab looks like he might be thinking about maybe calling for help. So does this mean Elisa can fire Fernanda after all?

“Ren suddenly remembers what she's been reading in the Caray comments all week: she has an apartment! “ bears repeating also.
And your transcript of the Can'tDo stockholders meeting was hilarious complete with a half dozen “What?”s and 'Somehow this all ends in a group hug with nothing resolved.
If any TN character I have ever seen deserved the ole TASER, Leo McNutty did last night when they had taken possession of his personal liar-poke. (leopard in a drop-net)
Fer leaving town was soooo TNish. You have these TN chicks with two walk-in closets full of underwear alone, and they move across country in one little pull-along. I'd like to see how they fold all that stuff. Last time I moved, I think those Mayflower guys broke some of my stuff just to get even with me.
Thanks again Blue, clever work.
Kirby: RIP Fernanda's Mommy.
Kirby..... " leopard in a dropnet" was a perfect description.
Later, gators.

Guest Cottage of the Wicked Witch is right on the money. Nieves definitely looks as well as behaves like one. Too bad she is also the ultimate Buttinsky. She had no business in the fight between Sonia and Renata. Clara needs to get a real job, move out of there, and not look back.
Adriana is a classic case of a woman who is great at her work but a dunce when it comes to dealing with men. She deserves better than to be a side chick.
Since Fabricio has the DNA test results, the paternity issue is moot. Now that Carmen is dead Elisa can fire Fernanda and Fabricio can take the boy back to London with him. Fernanda was an unfaithful partner, a false friend, and a crap mother. She eserves to lose him.
Renata's idea to hide Piedad at her place sounds good, but I don't think she should be let there alone. Eugenio knows about that place.
Also, when i started watching last night, i thought that i had missed a scene because CrazedCrissy had disappeared when Leo finally came out of the bathroom . Why???? Did she just get tired of waiting for him to finish using the facilities? He was having a pretty long chitchat out of that tiny window with Adriana. n
Okay back to the ripping recap. P.s. 30 degrees here.

Honorable mention also goes to "Elisa sniffs prettily". Yes just so dainty and helpless, and innocent as a newborn fawn. Surprised in the ever present loooong INTRO we endure every night at least once, we do not see the little white spots on her back.
After E-Lies-a was being cuffed etc. etc. etc. what was Mega Booty Chris doing there? That had NOTHING to do with internal affairs, did she just want to show off?
I assume everyone is afraid of her because she is Internal Affairs, AND BSC. Bad bad bad
combo.
Susanlynn: ' she makes HIM feel dirty.????? " WAIT??? WHAT????.' Exactly, like "Does this dress make me look fat?" "No Baby, I think it is all that ice cream and Hoe Hoes."
BTW does Fab have the DNA results? Usually in TNs there is that 'call of the blood' thing where an offspring just KNOWS, DNA or none. We have not seen that with Juanito and Fabradoodle.
( Watching my fav Christmas movie " Love Actually. " )

"Elisa sniffs prettily" made me smile as this captured her entire role in this TN perfectly.
"she's not in the mood (and thank God, because neither are we.)". Not seeing Ewww and Icky in any kind of animalistic mating was a tender mercy.
"(Has Majo even been sober long enough to get up in time for work?)" Majo has a job??
Susanlynn, Uni inserted 2 commercials after Vencer last night. I had no idea what happened when this started so something was definitely cut. The first thing I saw was Leo in the room talking with Adri. I was like, where did Crazy Cat go?
JLouse is totally expendable. I hope Adri has learned her lesson and will think about her future choices more carefully.
I didn't like seeing Mario calling "ChrisBitch". Yes, why did he do that??
Sonia is saturated with bad luck. Nieves and then Renata? No rest, no peace.
"Juanito gives him a perky little wave". While I don't much care what happens to Fernanda, I do care about Juanito. Fab as father?
Will Majo spirit Piedad away?? Will Dario change his tune? Will Elisa end up in the joint??
Although much happened last night, I had the feeling events are on a treadmill, moving in place.
Thank you Blue Lass.

Sonia has certainly paid for that affair with Marcelo. ....left to die on a boat abd then passed around from one crazy to another. I knew that Good Samaritan Nieves was a short-lived aberration.
: Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 11:36:00 AM EST
Still csnnlt figure why CrazedCris just......left ? ?????

So so so many good lines. Like others, I also loved "when Ren suddenly remembers what she's been reading in the Caray comments all week". Then there is the hilarious "Fernanda's Home for Wayward Skanks" followed by "Fer has put on a bra under her office slutwear".
"She's not in the mood (and thank God, because neither are we.) So true! And did you see Victoria just throw her used cotton ball on the bed? I guess that's where it goes if you have a live-in maid. I thought that was the most disgusting thing we'd see in that scene until Eu came walking in wearing his silk pjs. Then Victoria decides she's tired and gathers a handful of tissues that she must have also thrown on the bed and throws them on her dressing table. Gawd, do rich people not have wastebaskets?
I like Elisa, although mostly I like her jackets, but that was just too much that she is having Sara comfort HER when Sara has a nieta just diagnosed with leukemia. She didn't even offer much compassion to Leo who must be upset by the diagnosis as well.
I loooooved your description of Clara as "a favorite scarf that doesn't match any of her outfits". That was downright poetic, amiga!
"It was just a delayed reaction" and "somehow this all ends in a group hug with nothing resolved" turned this into an unintentional funny scene.
My loudest laugh came from the tiny font you used depicting Sonia's mousey voice. That was great!
And finally, you had the perfect last line: "So does this mean Elisa can fire Fernanda after all?"
Mic drop
Thanks again,
R la O
Renata wins again for the cutest outfit. I love her clothes and wish they'd look like that on me.
"Guest Cottage of the Wicked Witch".
Your opinion about Vicky always being in everybody's business was spot on. Also, she's been with Eww for 5 minutes and she's already having "headaches" in bed. Haha, this will turn out well for her. She's way past menopause and Eww is used to younger and perkier company, what will she do when he starts his special brand of pshyco on her?
Susanlynn, cont me in at Sonia's table; WHEN WILL THIS WOMAN CATCH A BREAK?
Rosemary, even if Adriana likes JLow physically (there is no accounting for taste), why would she still be with him after he forced her to give up on Mario's friendship and he belittles her every chance he gets? Lonely women are fools for love, but come on!!
Urban, ITA about Fernanda. Are we supposed to feel sorry for her and forget how she abandoned her son all these years? And what for? To be Augusto's personal sexetary and Eww's mole at Can't DO?
Kirby, LOL at your description of Fernanda's travel bag. That tiny suitcase could barely carry some of her pumps.
OT - Blue Lass, you asked the other day what was my native language; it's Romanian, which is a Latin language, just like Spanish. My first foreign language was English (I was 8), my second was Spanish (when I started novelas, at 10), third was French (at 12) - the one I speak the most these days. If they speak slow enough, I can also understand Portuguese and Italian.

ITA with those who wondered what happened to Christina. I even went to an undisclosed location to watch the first few minutes of a bootleg copy to see what I might have missed, and the answer is: nothing. Leo comes out, she's gone, and he and Elisa start yakking. (He does say, "I'm sure she didn't go far," but then the Clod Squad come in and straighten him out about that as well.) I guess she figured she wasn't needed until the last scene and went to the Starbucks across the street to sharpen her nails.
Urban, thanks for the reminder that Eu has been to Ren's apartment. I had completely forgotten about that. And basically, no matter who might be hiding there, he wants to kill them, so it's not much of a safe house.
Mario told Christina he felt uncomfortable about calling her; he was just trying to help Leo stay out of trouble. Who knows what she told him or why he believed it, but I get the feeling he doesn't have a lot of experience with scary women. Or women.
And thank you for explaining this episode did open up a bit abruptly and why Mario called Chris. I laughingly agree Mario doesn't "have a lot of experience with scary women. Or women". Excellent.

They seem to go overboard trying to cement it to us that these two are so maddeningly in Luuuurve that everything else is mundane when their eyes meet. It is far from it. It usually just comes off as goofy or a ?WTF? moment.
Just like when they escaped to the Luuurve Nest. I thought they would be a bundle of nerves, and have a planning session as to what they would do now that leaving town had at the best bought them a little bit of time. Nopis, "Whew that was close, you horny?" Give me a break.

These days both Velasco brothers are busy tending to love matters. Leslie might need someone else to help her. Is Clara available ? Someone should think about testing her, I'm sure she 'd be a match.

Recapped it funny, which is good. We Need laughter now-a-days.
So crazy cris flew the coop. She'll
Just pop up somewhere and ruin some
One elses christmas. Shes like some
Thing from the fatal attraction.
Its moving right along and stuff's happening. Ewgy n vicious-vicky are
All shacked up happily. Not. She is
Snooping the c-phone of the love of her miserable life. Those two are so deserving of each other. And I hope they get what they deserve together.
I actually felt sorry for fer over her mom dying. I know what that feels like. That crying had the sound of guilt in it.(she crys ugly
By the way). And fab looked like he was feeling bad for her too. Maybe
He should take her and fab jr. out
Of harms way cuz his carzyass sperm
Doner Will surely try and kill them . This Man(I use that term loosely) do not Give two damns about no one. Not even his own blood. He thinks he is Above everyone. The only use he has for his children & everybody elses for that matter is to do his evil Bidding and when he don't get it he has them murdered. And vicky is no better. Neither one of them is fit to be anybody's parent.
Elisa turned herself in. Alrighty.
Now what?
That was a good idea ren has for Ds
Momma to stay in that apartment. So
Now all she has to do is take sonia
There to and it will be a family affair. Sonia don't know if that baby is marcelo's cuz didnt ewwwwy
Rape her a few times and left Marks
In her back? Sick bastard. So she cannlet her stay there with piedad.
And heres another zinger, let fer &
Fab jr stay there too. They can make a let's bring down ewwgy party
Works for me.
Leo control yourself and start the cop yi ou were decorated to he. El
Is gonna need you help not to mention them other people that's in
Trouble.you better know crazy cris is gonna make her time in jail as hard as she can, cuz nobody can sex
Leo better than she can. In her sick mind.
We will see what happens monday.
Thank you Blue bbn Lass.
" Mario doesn't seem to have a lot of experience with anything he looks perpetually drowsy like you just woke up from a long winter's nap
And no I hope they dont make him mr big. You cannot take him serious with that hair. I'm laughing while I'm typing this. Lol :-)
: Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 10:37:00 PM EST
And when you do that you get cootys
And she has no one to blame but her self.
Sprayed with lots of hair spray cuz
It don't move. Looks like hair and
Wardrobe rolls It up, put him under a dryer, get him out take out the curlers comb it out and spray it.
Ready for my close up GG.
Renata's love nest with Marcelo might end up being the place where his out of wedlock baby is born. Only in a telenovela...
: Sunday, December 20, 2020 at 4:30:00 AM EST
I think Adri has had enough whiplashing; so I'll just skip her...for today.
The only thing that I have to add is how dramatic Eliesa got when she got home. With that pouty face, she kept telling the sisses, "I'm going to have to leave..." She couldn't be upfront and tell them that she was turning herself in?? They were going ot find outthe next day anyway! A bit overdone IMO.
Happy Sunday! FIVE days till Christmas...the countdown begins!
