The Luck of Loli:
I only see the previews while watching Exatlon, but looks like Loli is having pretty darn GOOD luck.
Appears the only one she hasn't kissed is Gabi, and that surely AIN'T gonna happen now.
For the past few years Gabi Espino has just been our local Spectrum cable spokeschick, and they had her hotness hidden as much as possible. Ya know, like putting a Corvette under a dropcloth and swearing it was an Oldsmobile.
It's interesting to see her in a TN. WOOF !

La Suerte de Loli - #20 - p 1 de 3
Paulina arrives. She wants to talk with Jessica. She goes into the room where Jess is talking with Sam. Paulina says she'd like to speak privately, so Sam leaves. Paulina then starts in: "Was it you? Did you tell Loli? Only you and your father knew about our situation." Jess is annoyed that the only thing her mother cares about is that no one should know the truth. Pau then says, "Perhaps I made a mistake coming to LA. I missed you. I needed to be near you and near your father." Jess says nothing. Paulina continues, "Do you want me to leave Global Radio? Cancel my contract?" Jessica tells her that's not what she wants. "It's not because I care about your image as the perfect mother. I just don't want to be the butt of jokes at school."
Rox tells Mati she doesn't understand men. Suddenly someone arrives with an enormous arrangement of flowers for Rox--sent by David.
Melissa, Carol, and Marcelino are at the breakfast table. Carol wonders where her father is. Melissa tells her he left early. Marcelino urges Melissa to tell Carol the truth. Melissa then tells Carol that Bruno and she fought last night, and they decided that he should leave for a while. We then see Bruno, asleep in the back of the limo. Marcelino and Carol get into the limo so Marcelino can drive her to school. They don't see Bruno, but both notice a bad smell (apparently Bruno hadn't showered in quite a while). Carol thinks it's strange that her parents had a fight. They never argue. Indeed, she tends to think of them as bland and boring. She also tells Marcelino that the other day, some of the kids at school thought Bruno was the chauffeur; she was very embarrassed. Bruno overhears everything they say.
Rafa is trying to explain things to Loli. Loli tells him she has come to realize that kids are a good excuse for everything. Rafa protests that he cares about his daughter and he cares about Loli.
Rox and Mati are still talking. She can't believe that Arturo cheated on Mati. She then shows Mati a photo where David had tagged her. She asks Mati to promise that he'll stop talking to her if she goes back to David.
Rafa decides to call Don Rogelio (to tell him about his marital problems???). Don Rogelio answers, but almost immediately Loli grabs the phone and says she had hoped to tell him more about the project that she and Rafa were working on, but they weren't ready yet. She'll call him when she has something more concrete to tell him. Rafa doesn't understand why Loli did that. She said that she had thought of telling Don Rogelio about Rafa and Paulina's situation, but she decided not to, because she was grateful fo Rafa and didn't want him to lose his job. (Frankly, I don't see why Rafa's personal situation is of importance to Don Rogelio.)
Just as Rafa tells Loli that he cares about her, Paulina appears, having finished her talk with Jess. She tells them to continue their conversation. Loli assures Pau that there's nothing going on between Rafa and her.
Marcelino drops Carol off at school. She tells him to get some deodorant for the car. As soon as she has left, he calls his amante and tells her he'll pick her up in a few minutes--in a limo. "Only the best for you."
Rox finally has Manuel Turizo on her show. She asks him, "Would you date someone again if they'd hurt you?" He tells her no, he doesn't think so. She declares, "I think you're absolutely right!"
Paulina arrives. She wants to talk with Jessica. She goes into the room where Jess is talking with Sam. Paulina says she'd like to speak privately, so Sam leaves. Paulina then starts in: "Was it you? Did you tell Loli? Only you and your father knew about our situation." Jess is annoyed that the only thing her mother cares about is that no one should know the truth.

La Suerte de Loli - #20 - p 2 de 3
Sam and Jess talk about working on the history essay. Along come Gus and Pete, and they're fine with working on the essay as well. Then Carol appears. She wants to party. She finds it hard to believe that they'd rather work on the essay. She's also disappointed, because she had hoped to use Pete's ID to buy beer. (I assume she means she'd use him to buy it for her--she certainly doesn't look like Pete!)
Paulina has a call-in show. Melissa calls, using a phony name. She asks, "Should I forgive him if he cheated on me?" Pau responds with questions: "Do you value yourself as a woman when you let someone lie to you? How far are you willing to go to save your marriage?" A puzzled Melissa asks, "Is that a yes or a no?" Paulina thanks her for calling and tells her that they're out of time.
Vicente comes into Rafa's office. Rafa admits that there are problems with Paulina. Vicente tells him to be honest with Paulina, she deserves it. (Hmm.) As soon as Vicente leaves, Rafa calls Gonzalo, who is apparently both his lawyer and his friend, and asks whether they can get together.
Loli arrives at the sports field where Nicky will be playing soccer. Octavio is also there. He tells her he came to watch Nicky play, and also to be there to take him home in case Loli forgot again. We see a little of the game. Octavio offers a running commentary, none of which Loli understands. She's grudgingly impressed that he knows about so many sports--soccer, paddleboarding, surf, dancing. "Yes," agrees Octavio, "and you haven't seen me do open-heart surgery!" (I'm liking this guy more and more.) Loli then asks him whether he's submitted the samples for the test. Octavio says he has, and the test results will be ready in three days. Loli says, "But that doesn't change anything, right?" "It changes everything," Octavio replies.
Marcelino is driving his amante (do we know her name?). Bruno is still hidden in the back of the limo. Marcelino says he's getting paid by the avocado guy, so they'll be able to leave for Mexico sooner than he thought. He then stops the limo and gets out. (I'm not sure where he's going--to get paid?) As soon as Marcelino has left, Bruno gets out of the back of the limo and gets into the driver's seat. The amante is at first terrified, thinking he's a thief or worse. Bruno tells her she knows who he is, he's Bruno, and he's taking her to Melissa to clear things up. (Yeah, right.)
Loli and Octavio take Nicky home after the game. Octavio was hoping that he and Loli could go to the bar that night. Loli says she can't, she has to stay with the kids. Nicky suggests that they could call Aida, his nanny, to babysit. He always beats her in Monopoly. The next thing we know, several hours have passed, and we see Loli, Octavio, Mati, and Rox enter the bar. Soon after they sit down, Rox gets a phone call. She tells them she left a pot on the stove and has to leave. The show starts--hunky sailors. Loli and Mati are delighted. (Me too!) The sailors take clothes off and throw them at Mati and Loli. Away from the table, Apolo tells Octavio it's obvious that he really likes Loli. Octavio denies this.
Bruno has brought Marcelino's amante into the house. Of course, Melissa sees this as brazen evidence that the woman is Bruno's amante. When Marcelino sees them, he seems to have chest pains. The woman then says that she's Bruno's lover, she's carrying his child, and they're planning to leave for Mexico.

La Suerte de Loli - #20 - p 3 de 3
Rafa is talking with Gonzalo. Gonzalo says that Rafa has to be careful not to jeopardize his relationship with Jess. As a friend, Gonzalo would advise Rafa to wait a while before beginning to date again. However, as a lawyer, he would tell him to go for it! That's how he makes his money.
Back at Hunky Bar, Apolo takes Mati away. Octavio comes to sit with Loli.When Loli gets up to go home, Octavio sees that she's too drunk to drive. He offers to drive her. She insists she's fine. He then says he'll follow right behind her. (This scene really bothers me.)
Melissa tells Bruno that if she didn't know that he was flat broke, she'd sue him for everything. As it is, she wants a divorce. And she wants him to leave. Now. Go! Bruno, of course, can't believe it.
Rox is in bed with David (surprise, surprise). She tells him she agreed to go out with him again for two reasons: he's trying, and she was hungry. He then demonstrates that there's a third reason.
Marcelino's amante tells him that when she learned he had just a few months to live, she decided their main concern right now should be his illness. (Aha. Now we see why she's interested in him.) He assures her that if he dies, everything will be in her name: his company, his cars, his bank accounts in Switzerland, and in the Cayman Islands, and the Virgin Islands, and the Greek Islands (Uh huh). She does wish, though, that he had introduced her to his daughter. He tells her that he wants to do things right. He wants to get the divorce first and then introduce her to his daughter.
Rox and David are in bed. He is apologizing to her. He wants to start over. "We could start by..." Oops, Rox's phone rings. It's Mati. He's worried, because she left in a hurry. He was afraid that pehaps she was going back to David. Rox tells Mati to get some rest and not worry about her.
Somehow, the rather drunk Loli manages to get home safely. Octavio tells her, "I'm starting to care about your life." "Why?" asks Loli, "I messed up yours." Octavio proposes putting her mess and his mess together. They kiss... Oops. Rafa walks in without knocking. Apparently they left the door open. Loli tells him they were just saying goodbye.
Sam, Jess, Gus, and Pete are in the bedroom, playing a game that calls for a kiss. Of course, just as Jess is about to kiss Pete, Rafa walks in. "Papa, what are you doing here?" He asks how she is. "Not drunk," she replies, "which is more than I can say about you." They talk.
Gus and Pete leave with lots of encouragment from Norita. No sooner do they leave than Bruno arrives, with all his things in large plastic garbage bags. Norita escorts him up the stairs.
Rafa thanks Loli for letting him talk to Jess. "She's your daughter," Loli replies. Rafa also says he's sorry he arrived at a bad time. "Why do you say it was a bad time?" Loli asks. "Well, you were kissing Octavio." "Yes," says Loli, "and do you know why? Because I'm single. I don't have a wife or a child to lie to. You do, and you have fun." Rafa replies, "You have the wrong idea about me, but it's your loss." "You don't say," replies Loli. "OK, Good night," says Rafa. He leaves, and the episode ends.

I so appreciate the recap Juanita. It is amazing how detailed and quick these recaps get posted! I am with you, the Hunky Bar dancers are something for sure! Looks like Mati decided to actually order off the dessert menu tonight. Manuel Turizo is pretty cute too!
Octavio serving as standby in case Loli forgot to pick up Nicky was definitely just a ploy to be there and watch Nicky play. It was so cute that Nicky was happy to tell his friends that Octavio was his Papa. I like the idea that both Loli and Octavio start learning to coparent and work together. I actually think they make a much better couple than her and Rafa, but that is just me. That hawt kiss of “goodbye” was something.
I think Rafa was calling Don Rogelio to resign his position. I am understanding this story line not to be about the marital problems between Rafa and Paulina but that they are only together for Paulina’s book release. Loli takes the fraud personally because of her feelings for Rafa but I also think she has a good point that Paulina is a fraud with her phony advise that is not demonstrated in real life. This fraud reveal is definitely something that would look bad for Global Radio.
We see the full display of the despicable Marcelino in this episode. What terrible person, he even has his amante snowed now! No wonder she is with him, she thinks he is going to die soon and that he is rick and leaving everything to her. Why didn’t Bruno record the conversation in the limo between those two? It amazes me that everyone has a cellphone glued to their hand, but does not use it to record these incriminating conversations. Bruno is just an idiot as is Melissa.
The Rox story has mixed feelings for me. I like how open she is about everything, but deep down, she seems very insecure. I don’t think that David really is going to change for her.
I agree Juanita, allowing Loli to drive home drunk is concerning and not a good look. Rafa was drunk too and apparently driving. There is A LOT of drinking going on in this novela. I don’t think we have seen Octavio booze it up though. I have decided he is my new telenovio. 😊

Wow, thanks VERY much, VVS, for your great, prompt comments. You may be pleased with how quickly the recaps appear, but I'm pleased with how promptly you posted your appreciative comments.
I love your saying that Mati "decided to actually order off the dessert menu." Great way of putting it!
And no, it's not just you who thinks Octavio may be a better choice than Rafa. I'm beginning to feel that way too. Though I also suspect that the writers are playing with us, and that in the end, it will be Loli and Rafa. Unless, of course, the writers are being more interesting than usual.
BTW, I think Octavio was at the soccer field not just to watch Nicky and fill in for Loli if she forgot. I think he was also interested in spending more time with Loli, and this was a good excuse/opportunity.
Good question about Bruno not recording the conversation on his phone. He seems so at a loss for everything that if he tried, he'd probably find his battery was dead.
I agree with you that he's as much of an idiot as Melissa, although a more highly principled idiot.

Great recap, Juanita! And your asides were spot on. Yes, it certainly seems like more than one of our cast members would be facing a DUI by now. I am used to only seeing the baddies in narconovelas knocking back tequila shots.
That was a very cryptic remark by Octavio...the DNA test changes everything. Does this mean he'd stop visiting Nicky if the "seed" company made a mistake and he's not the bio dad? Or that he would be more involved with Nicky or even want custody if he is his father?
Wonder if Rafa gets reduced rates if he meets with his lawyer at a bar? I've mentioned the rates a few times as I'm acutely aware of legal fees. Our company is involved in a very expensive lawsuit and I peruse those invoices carefully.
I know there's no chance this will happen, but I'd like to see Melissa groveling at Bruno's feet when Marcelino's perfidy is revealed and his telling her to get a job to pay HER credit card bills and leave him the $^&*% alone.
One thing that could tip the scales in Bruno's favor would be his telling Norita about being kicked out because of his FIL and that she'll never see the money from arranging the sale of the avocados. But that's probably too much to hope for.

Oh novelera! That would be the perfect demise for Marcelino, having Bruno tag team with Norita! She would be furiously vengeful that she couldn’t get custody of the kids because she didn’t get paid for the avocado caper and she does protect Bruno a lot! Regarding the lawyer fees, I thought I heard Gonzalo (I think that is his name) tell Rafa that he was talking to him as a “friend” over drinks and his advice for the night was gratis.
I forgot to mention the nerve of Norita last night of calling out Loli when Bruno arrived with his garbage bag luggage. Loli never said he couldn’t stay and if I recall from an early episode, Loli brought the mortgage up to date on the house after Mariana died, plus Mariana did leave everything to Loli, so Norita has some audacity trying to lay claim to anything.
Juanita, you are so right about Octavio presence at the soccer field being about seeing Nicky and spending time with Loli.

Juanita, you are so right about Octavio presence at the soccer field being about seeing Nicky and spending time with Loli.

Muchas gracias, novelera, for your wonderful comments. Yes, Octavio's comment about the difference the DNA results would make was definitely cryptic. I can certainly imagine a negative result making Octavio to feel that he wants nothing more to do with Nicky, only to find that he really does. I guess we'll find out soon enough. One of the good things about Telemundo novelas these days is that few mysteries drag on for weeks.
As for Gonzalo's fee, I think Gonzalo spells it out for Rafa--he's acting as Rafa's friend, and as his friend, he'd advise him to wait a while before starting to date again, and that advice is free. As his lawyer, however, he'd advise Rafa to go for it, and he'd bill him at $400/hr.
I LOVE your suggestion about what happens at the end to Melissa. Somehow, though, I don't see Bruno having the you-know-whats to treat her that way, even though she sorely deserves it.

Loli #21 Mini Cap part 1
I had to watch both Monday and Tuesday episodes tonight. Thanks so much for a great recap, Juanita. Enjoyed reading VVS's and novelera's comments. There wasn't anything for me to add anyway.
Rafa arrives home and tells Pau he’s moving back to his apartment. Pau begs him to stay. She sounds desperate. Rafa sees no point in continuing like this. They need to accept it. Pau stalls for more time. She tells him she has some conferences attend and asks if this can wait until she returns.
Nora and Bruno talk. He doesn’t tell his mother the truth about why he’s there. He says he needed space. Can he stay for a night or two or a month? Stay as long as you like, says Nora and she starts to badmouth Melissa. Bruno won’t let Nora speak badly about Mel. Nora changes the subject to the avocado money Marcelino owes them. Bruno tries to tell her the truth but can’t bring himself to do it. He finally says Marcelino will pay your money soon. I’ll make him pay, Bruno says.
Octavio gets the DNA results.
Art is home but not staying for long. He asked to be transferred to a new project in San Francisco. He will be there for a few months.
Rox wants details about Loli and Octavio. Loli admits they kissed but Rafa interrupted.
When questioned by Loli and Mati, Rox denies that she’s with David. She pretends to call David to get rid of him for good. We only hear her side of the call. David proposes plans to see her again, but her answers give a false impression she's giving him the boot.
Loli keeps sneezing. (why did they write this with the current health crisis?)
No surprise here: Pete reveals his true self. He plans to “seal the deal” this weekend with Jessica.
Mel cries over Bruno and Marcelino pretends to be a supportive father. I can’t stomach the way she carries on and how Marcelino is a disgusting liar.
Octavio shows up at Loli’s office with the results. He wanted to open it with her. Rafa interrupts because a business meeting was moved up. Loli has to go.
Rox is doing her show. She asks, why doesn’t a guy take the hint it’s over? David calls her. He is waiting for her outside the station.
Rafa tells Loli he’s moving back to his apartment. She sneezes all over him (how gross!). It’s ok, she says, she’s been tested.
Loli talks to Mari about Octavio as she gets ready to go see him at his place. She plays one of Mari’s videos; Mari says she needs a heart transplant. Bruno hears Mari's voice and he’s spooked.
Rafa shows up to see Jess as Loli is on her way out. Rafa says he will stay and watch Nicky. So where is Nora? Where’s Bruno? Can’t they watch the kids?
Mel is still lamenting her fate. Bruno leaves a message for her. I never cheated….blah blah blah…we can’t separate…blah, blah, blah….think it over. Sam overhears. She asks, you and Aunt Mel are separating? I really hate this storyline.
Octavio is getting ready for his “date” with Loli. Gabriel asks who is the lucky lady? Octavio says he's the lucky one.
Jess asks Rafa if he plans to come over every night. Yes, until she comes home.

Loli #21 mini cap part 2
David has dinner at Rox’s. David wants to take her to a party at his friend’s house. Rox doesn’t want to go. She just wants to stay home in bed.
Loli arrives at Octavio’s. He introduces Gabriel. He tells Gabriel to order food and don’t come back for a few hours.
Rafa gets a call from Pau. Is Jess coming home yet, she asks? He asks, how is the conference? Fine, she says, and we see Vicente walk up behind her. He looks like he just got out of a pool.
Vicente asks Pau to forget about Rafa and Loli and focus on their relationship. He tells her that many people will relate to your divorce. Pau replies, how can I give advice if I can’t save my own marriage? Vicente tells her that he never got over her. Not in his first marriage or second. What if Rafa finds out, asks Pau. Vicente reminds her that he saw Pau first. Rafa came between them. And as far as Loli, Vicente still has plans for her.
Mati has Apolo over for dinner. Apolo goes in for a kiss but is interrupted by the door. It’s Rox. She’s sorry for coming unannounced. She tells Mati she got back with David; she couldn’t help herself. She’s like an alcoholic but she swears she will break it off. She sees Apolo is there.
Loli and Octavio are enjoying their wine and each other’s company. She asks if they can open the results. Before that can happen, the door bell rings. A couple of women barge their way in. They are there to have a good time with Octavio. Loli wants to leave but one of the women says don’t go, Octavio can take care of all three of us. No way, and Loli’s out of there.
Rox asks David what make him think he can deny her one day and introduce her to his friends the next. Well, he loves her like she is. How else can he show her he has changed? How about we invite people over for dinner? No, she just wants to go another round.
Mati and Apolo tear their shirts off and are about to get busy when Art calls.
Octavio has no interest in the two women. They leave. He calls Loli and leaves a message. He didn’t know those women were coming. They are nothing to him, just friends. He tears up the DNA envelope and throws it in the trash.
Loli arrives home. Rafa is still there. Nicky is asleep and the girls are studying. They have a very short conversation and then go at it hot and heavy. (All I can think about is she's been sneezing all day.)
And we are out.

Wow, dondi356, what a great surprise. I came to turn my computer off before getting ready for bed (I have to get up very early tomorrow morning), and I found your recap of tonight's episode. Many thanks for doing this. Since I won't be able to comment tomorrow morning, I thought I'd do so now.
I too am really disgusted with Marcelino. Apparently there's no one he cares about except for himself, not even his daughter. He pretends to care, but he has no hesitation about lying to her, even if the lies he tells make her miserable, not to mention Bruno.
I was probably just as disappointed as Loli and Octavio were when those two women stopped by. Yuck! I'm still a bit puzzled, though, when his anger/disappointment results in his tearing up the unopened envelope with the DNA test results and throwing it in the garbage.
We finally see Vicente with Paulina. The background music makes it seem like this is a Momentous Revelation for Viewerville, but hey, we've known all along that Pau cheated with Vicente.
If a guy I was interested in was sneezing every few seconds, I think I'd have kept my distance, but of course the spewing of germs doesn't stop Rafa and Loli. Rafa also informs her that he enjoyed babysitting for Nicky, and he always wanted a son.
Uh, right.

Thanks, Juanita. A full Tuesday recap is a bit difficult for me because my report to work day is Wednesday. That usually means prep on Tues night and getting up very early on Wed. Then of course I can't do much when I'm at the office.
Last night, my TV sound was going in and out with spotty captions alternating between English and Spanish, so I'm sure I missed some important stuff.
Looking forward to commenters filling in the gaps. Thanks.

Loli
Thank you dondi356 for the quick, terrifically “full” recap! Ugh! That Loli sneezing all over the show was just weird period and especially now. The writers could have a least tried to say she had seasonal allergies or something.
The big, slimeball reveal was not a surprise to any of us. Help me here, are Pau and Vicente currently having an affair? I am sure it is obvious as they are traveling to “conferences” together, but I didn’t get that from the conversation last night. I wonder how Rafa found out in the first place? I just don’t get infidelity. If you don’t like who you are with, then just move on. I think the way Art and Mati are handling their marriage is a bit more honest. Sorry, I am a bit jaded on this subject.
Like you dondi356, I have no interest in the Bruno/Mel sob story and Marcelino cannot meet his demise fast enough for me. The one outstanding person in this storyline is Mel’s Mother. I bet she is going to be something else if we ever meet her and hopefully will do justice in the Marcelino revenge assistance.
Now Rox doesn’t want to be seen by David’s friends? She is just all over the place. I am not trying to be overly tacky here but as a large lady myself, Rox really needs to invest in a King Size bed for all her romantic encounters. 😊
I guess my Octavio’s halo still needs some polishing. His comment to Gabriel about being the “lucky one” was sweet. So, did he tear up the DNA results because he only wants prove to be Nicky’s dad to be with Loli? That would be disappointing for sure.
Then there is Rafa, sort of floundering around throughout the episode, babysitting for Nicky when clearly both Nora and Bruno were home and not putting his foot down with Jessica to come home. Kissing the germy, sneezing Loli was over the top for me.
Speaking of Jess, we knew that Pete hadn’t changed his personality. He is still a little pervy jerk. I hope when the time comes, Jess can handle him. I am watching the Frida novela as well and there is a theme in this day and age of teenagers just hooking up at such young ages just for the heck of it, it is sort of sad.
Have a good day at work dondi356 and thanks again for the not so mini recap!

Very late to the party. Lots of on-line work today and then my Zoom Spanish class from 3-5PM.
Dondi, nothing really to add. You produced a terrific short recap! And you must have been reading my mind. Que the hell with all that sneezing? I kept expecting an explanation, but none was forthcoming.
ITA about being SO tired of Bruno/Mel/Marcelino idiocy. How long are they going to drag this out? And it was ludicrous that Marcelino felt entitled to just drive Bruno's limo. And, come on, a man wouldn't get that stinky with one showerless day!
And I'm just gobsmacked at the stupidity of Roxana's behavior. Lying to her friends that she wasn't with David any more makes no sense. AND, she showed up unannounced at Mati's place to bare her soul. Who are these people?
The actor portraying Vicente is doing a fine job as a sleazeball. And he sucked up to Pau by saying he fired Loli to please her. It's a good thing Rogelio doesn't really understand his motives. Vicente and Paulina are made for each other.
And...this is two novelas in a row where the galán tears up the DNA results.

I wasn't feeling all that well last night, and at times I found myself unable to pay attention to the telenovela. Anyway, I'm wondering what anyone else makes of Octavio declaring that Nicky and Loli were a big mistake, that he wants nothing more to do with either of them.
How has Bruno managed to reach chronological adulthood? He seems to be so confused about the real world. His insistence that Mariana has come back to life is one example. It never occurs to him that Loli may have been listening to a recording. But perhaps more bizarre than that is his notion that he could be hired as a dancer at Hunky Bar!
Apparently the craziness is contagious. Even Rafa now talks to Mariana's photo and supposedly gets tips from her about how to handle things.
Frankly, the only person who seemed to have it together last night was Apolo, when he was talking to Mati.

I hope you are feeling better Juanita. In this crazy time any little symptom of not feeling well is enough to make me feel worse.
I think Octavio just reverted back to pretending not to care. It is hard for anyone to make such a dramatic change in one’s life. Perhaps he was embarrassed that Loli saw the “real” Octavio especially with his two-girl sandwich.
Apolo was the only sane one last night. What was up with the protestors in front of the bar? We have only seen the bar at night, so it was interesting to note that Hunky Bar seemed to be in a suburb neighborhood.
How slimy was Vicente with clueless Rafa pretending to be a supportive friend and I guess I answered my own question, he and Paulina have been Rocking the Kasbah for a while it appears. It is also pretty low that Paulina is just hanging out at Vic’s house and really not at a convention. Well, I think she is shallow, so it isn’t that surprising.
The “history” lesson with Sam and Jessica was amusing. I enjoyed the play on the Cleopatra/Mark Anthony/Octavian love story.
The Bruno story is pathetic, I agree with your assessment Juanita, how has he managed to get to adulthood and through life, as pathetic as he is.
Remind me ladies of the patio, we need a recapper on Wednesday night and Friday night? I would be willing to try a mini recap on Friday if you promise to be gentle! 😊
