El Amor No Tiene Receta #54: Recrimination and Revelation (Main Points From Memory)


The following may be out of order; please add anything missing:

When Kenzo and Nandy came back to the Robles house Jerónimo and Sandro continued making transphobic comments to Nandy because they rejected that their father has fallen in love with her. 

Fobo gave Elvita a music box [WTF did he do this at the office?].

El amor no tiene receta, #53, Notes from the couch®️

This is going to be a quick one, as I have a lot going on and I'm writing half from memory, half from some notes I took while watching. Feel free to add things I might have missed.

®️Thank you, Jarifa, for making up this perfect title while we were doing double (and sometimes triple) duty while recapping La Herencia. Oh, good times!....Remember Pedro Montero, you guys? Maybe he and Ginebra should start dating, I'm sure she'd find him quite fetching.😉

Paz and Esteban are both in tears as Paz reports back to work. They talk about Gala’s food needs. The kids come back the stairs and are happy to see Paz, Elvira … not so much. She eventually agrees with Paz getting back to her old job, after the kids insist. Gala especially needs her help.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #52: House of Cards

 

While still outside Paz called Samara. Monito told her while handing her the phone. Mauro watched and listened. Paz told Samara she got out of jail and Samara told her she wanted to visit her neighborhood. She told her that Cobija had been sick with a stomach problem. [Will someone wonder how Cobija got sick? They all know that Ginebra is a monster.] Paz reminded her that they needed to be patient and soon they will be together looking at the moon. She gave the phone back to Humberto who was impressed.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #51: Say It With Flowers.. or Venom


Salomón went to the office to see Gala while Porfirio went to see Lupita. Salomón wanted to get Gala back but she was not up for it. Porfirio found Lupita selling jars of freshly ground coffee with it and wisdom on the label. He looked at one whose label said “Never be afraid of what is about to happen.” He was looking for her and said he's like to have coffee with her.

Fobo visited Elvira in her office looking appropriately dashing in his black shirt and neat-invisible black sling. He was there for one more try at playing Rudolfo to her Contessa*. She was a little ill at ease at this happening in her office and she felt like a teen so she hesitated.... but finally agreed after hearing him out. [The jury needs to be polled about whether we want to see this consummated.]

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 50 - Viernes, 10 de mayo, 2024 - "Gala's reveal, Cobija's surviving moment and Paz's return"

The Robles and Humberto talk about Paz getting out of prison. Paz wonders why Ginebra reacted this way, like she was helping her get out. Nandy comments she's loca. Paz mentions Esteban, she's still mad at him, at come point she calls him "este señor".

Gin is discussing the Fobo issue with Elvira. You know, Gin's been part of the family for half a week, of course she can share her point of view. She doesn't like the idea of Elvira being with Fobo because of the age gap and the fact that he's El's employee. So Gin's pretty much against Elvira with Fobo, but then again Gin always is against happy healthy relationships, so it wasn't exactly a surprise.

Friday 5/10/24: Karmageddon for Sinners: Tu Vida es Mi Vida

 

It's that time again! Karmageddon arrives to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed and analyzed to a degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. Evil is escalating every day as all the Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth) are committed. The usual questions apply:

  • What do you think the writers will do to them?

  • What do you think they deserve?

If I have forgotten anything in the following, please advise so I can revise. This should include all data through episode 80.

El Amor no Tiene Receta #49, jueves 5/9: Paz on (Scorched) Earth

Mireya gets a call that Paz's trial has been moved up, which she is disproportionately excited about. I guess it's good news if any wheels are moving at all. She wants to plan a big party to celebrate, but Lupe thinks it's premature. Then Kenzo shows up in a Miami Vice blazer and tells Nandy everything is on track for the change of gender in her official identity papers. Now it will be impossible to stop the party! Lupe gives in.  

Mauro tells Gin he hasn't been able to get into Fermin's safe deposit box to look over the incriminating diary/newspaper/whatever, so they'll have to keep him alive for now. Not sure why they don't just come up with a scary new threat, but thanks for the torture break.  

Paz gets hold of a phone and calls Sam on Monito's hidden cell. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole conversation, but fortunately with Monito serving as lookout they didn't get caught. Mostly it was just sentimental chitchat about looking at the moon and thinking of each other, etc. (Wasn't that a song?)

As if all the woo-woo surveillance already wasn't enough, Esteban talks out loud to Berenice's picture about his suspicion that it was Gin who killed her. Dude, she's in heaven and all that: maybe light a candle and write her a nice note? I'm not buying the whole animal-tracker thing, anyway. Even radio collars, which are large and up front, don't tell you what the elk are actually saying. 

He says he feels impotent. Well, we can hope.

El amor no tiene receta, #48, "The smart and the reckless, thy name is Esteban"

Kenzo tells Nandy that he loves her. She can barely believe it, she’s never known love, only rejection. She loves him, too, but is afraid of being this happy. He is also scared of losing her or his kids because Felipa will do her best to ruin everything. They hug. Have we seen them kiss yet?

Paz is taking out her anger on a bell pepper. She is cooking and telling Emy about Ginebra’s visit. She is not jealous, she is furious, Esteban only used her, made a fool out of her. But it’s her fault, she wanted to fly too high, now she has to come back to reality. Emy listens to her but is more worried about Paz cooking while being this mad. She’s hungry. This is a woman who has her priorities straight. Respect!

El Amor No Tiene Receta #47: Confessions, Lies, and Coersions

Ginebra's words echoed in Esteban's mind as Paz came to the visiting room to see him. He began with a speech about the beautiful dreams and memories, then released her hands and ended their relationship, fulfilling Ginebra's vicious demand. His face showed reluctance and sadness. He was crying. Paz needed an explanation.

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 46 - Lunes, 6 de mayo, 2024 - "Happiness and sadness"

More threats from Ginebra and Mauro, including the murder of Sam, Monito "and the dog if I feel like it". Gin points a gun at him and asks him to choose: life or death? They mention some sort of poison and antidote. Are they poisoning the kids and giving them the antidote? Because IIRC they mentioned them when Esteban told them they're going down. Does that mean that Sam and Monito will get poisoned and die if something happens to these two?

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 45 Viernes, 3 de mayo, 2024 - "Paz's team loses brain cells, Ginebra's wins some"

Note before the recap - thank you for all the get well wishes. I feel better but I still have something between a headache and a migraine. 

Here we go:

El admits to Gin that she's her mother. Gin smiles while turned away from El, then turns around with a serious look on her face, pretends she doesn't believe it and whines about poor her whose mother abandoned her. El says something about her father not wanting her to be with Gin's father because of his social class (the apple unfortunately didn't fall far from the tree, did it?) and Gin screams about not only having a mother who abandoned her, but having a father who didn't care as well. El desperately tries to explain, Gin continues smirking evilly every time she turns her back. Gin shows some of her venom when she says Bere had everything she didn't have and the convo ends with Gin saying she doesn't hate El, but in order to forgive her she has to defend her from everyone. El promises and they hug. Of course, Gin smirks her usual smirk.

El Amor no Tiene Receta #44, jueves 5/2: Second Story Man

The opening scene is a rewind on the Lupe-Mauro slap, which is fun, and then Porfirio throws him out on his can, which is even more fun. Gala sniffs and says that Gema didn't say anything important, but she's clearly feeling it.

Gin admits to Mauro that she's in love with Esteban, which has never happened to her before, and you can tell it's true because she's really honked off about it. He points out that there is no HEA here because Esteban can't stand her, but she says she'll have him one way or another. (Are we sure she's not related to Gema?)

In the courtroom, everyone's playing Fun With Perjury. Paz is just a poor, deluded grieving mother who sees her missing child everywhere; Fefe is a good-for-nothing debtor/wife-beater who threatened everyone into submission; the rest of the Robles are clueless rubes and nobody doesn't know nothin'. Castro is called upon to confirm a number of details and seems gratified someone is actually listening to him. The judge sends everyone back to jail so he can take a Xanax think.

El amor no tiene receta, #43, "Make fondue , not war"

Paz isn’t sure she and Fermin should take full responsibility. Humberto states the obvious, the Roble family DID commit the crime. He and Esteban start quarrelling (not the time, dudes), but Paz eventually agrees with Hum’s plan. Too many people have already suffered, at the very least they will be safe. Esteban disagrees but stands by her.

Then Hum instructs Paz to start saying that she never knew Sam’s true identity, it’s important for their strategy. Esteban insists he will check to see if this plan is legit.

Mireya and Lupita find a woman (Emy?) who decides to protect them in jail. She does it for the money, she realized they are well connected.

When they are alone, Esteban protests against Hum’s strategy to have Paz take all the blame. At the very least he hopes Hum will be ready for trial. And he kind of implies that Hum doesn’t have the entire story about him and Porfirio not speaking.
