Notes from the Couch The "Too Much Talking !!" episode

1.Lorena tries to help Eleazar eat as he recovers from the beating. He is upset that the only person who congratulated him and was happy about his win was his father. Even Vale treated him like garbage. Lorena quickly joins the group of those who are against him when she acknowledges that he won but for the wrong reasons. He didn't follow the strategy. He didn't do his job. Eleazar asks her to leave just as Rebe coms in to congratulate him for being the champion that he is. Vale quickly follows and sees Eleazar and Rebe kissing.

2. Diego breaks the magical moment between Joaquín and Vero in the kitchen when he cones looking for a certain shirt. He follows Vero into the laundry room. He accuses her of telling Joaquín about her seeing him kissing Majo. She asks him to treat her with the same respect that she shows him and lets him know that his secret is safe with her. He smiles and gives her a hug.

3. Eleazar want to know what Vale is doing thereat his house. She heard what happened to so him so she came to see how he was doing. Now she sees he is feeling much better (referring to Rebe who is hanging all over him). Claudia arrives and asks how he is doing. Rebe says he will be like new soon with her kisses. Vale leaves He tells Claudia not to worry about him.

4. Nayeli goes over to Hugo's with some taquitos. He cannot quit thinking about the race. She tells him for her, he will always be the champion. She kisses him. He tells her he isn't in the mood because of the race or the beers he had. She tells him to forget everything. She wants him to know much she loves him and starts to kiss him. He lets himself be convinced.

5. Kassandra asks her mother what she sees in that yokel (Aurelio) Isaura sees him as a gallant gentleman from the old days. He is healthy and doesn't have an ailment but he is married. He lied and told her he was a widower. His wife appeared later and told her he was married. That was a shock but this certainly wouldn't be the first marriage she has broken up and won't be the last. Yes, she will be seeing him again. Kassandra cannot believe it.

6. Consuelo comes to see Aurelio. She asks him how his business at the pension office went. He says it went very well. He is not about to lose his pension after so many years of working. She agree and says his "pension" seems to have long legs, also artificial finger nails and a good and taught face. She also saw that the "pension" pays for supper in expensive restaurants. She saw it all with her very own eyes. Aurelio asks if he followed her. She reminds him that he told her that he hadn't gotten over the death of her sister and wasn't going out with anyone. Why did he lie?

7. Vero is back from the laundry room and ready to go home. Joaquín wants to know what she said to Diego. He had a smile on his face. She answers that she only told him what was in her heart. Joaquín says he has a lot to learn fro her. She disagrees and sees him more connected to the kids than ever. He answers that he never thought he would be in charge of four kids. She says never did she. He thinks they are both getting an accelerated course in raising these kids. She gives him an A+. He gives her an A++. They laugh and stare into each other's eyes.

8. Aurelio is outraged that Consuelo followed him. She did it because seh suspected that something was going on. and he lied to her. He asks since when does he have to report to her. She thinks he should be ashamed letting a woman pay the bill. He asks why she is judging him. She says it isn't judgement but pain. Doesn't he realize that he is looking to belong in a place he doesn't? Nico starts to listen in. Aurelio asks where does he belong. She answers in a more honest place with people who really know him, who care for him in spite of all of his errors, who still have faith in him and who can help him mend the errors of his ways. He angrily states that he is not sorry for anything he has done and that he always did what he thought was right. She warns him that the day will come when he will realize that he distanced himself from the very people who really cared for him.

He hops she isn't expecting him to support her. She thinks he must be with somebody else. He answers that there is not another woman in his life but he wishes there were . . .

11. Nico gives Aurelio the third degree. He wants to know about him taking money from a woman, Aurelios says he wasn't taking money from anyone. Nico asks who she is. Aurelio says she is an upper class woman. Her name is Isaura. They became friends and she has money to spare. She invited HIM for supper. What is wrong with that? He explains what what his life was like. For years he was holed up in an office and never saw the light of day, There were the bosses, the schedules and Xmas bonuses that didn't even come close to paying for the turkey. His life passed him by while he supported his family. Nico asks "the poor little thing" if he was sorry for what he did. Aurelio says of course not but now he finds himself retired, having buried his wife, with one of his daughters hating him and he living with his brother the priest. Now he want to experience the life he never had. Nico tells him the company he longs for is named Consuelo and he is letting her go because he won't allow himself feel his feelings.

She doesn't miss a beat and asks Joaquín if she can move back in since he said she could when things calmed down. He formally welcomes her. Vero is not pleased. Kassandra kisses Joaquín. He is uncomfortable.

23. Vale is not happy that Kassandra is moving back in and cannot see her making her godfather happy. Vero says they look happy. Vale thinks they must be in love because her godfather keeps giving Kassandra more chances after all the problems they have had. Vale remarks that sometimes you can love somebody with your whole heart but it isn't enough. Vero asks if Eleazar did something. Vale tells her about how she thought he was this noble and sincere guy but at the race he showed himself to be an opportunist. He won but lost himself. She cannot waste time thinking about him. Vale surprises her with a hug. Vale says she need that. She was so happy to meet her daughter.

24.Hugo talks to Carmen. He seems hungover and also feeling bad about the race. Carmen gives him a sports drink. She is aware of what happened at the race. She tells him to trust Joaquín. He will take care of it. She asks about his girlfriend. He talks about Nayeli who is so pretty with a gigantic heart. She is worth her weight in gold. Carmen asks what happened with Vale. He says it was never going to work out because she was always going to see him as her best FRIEND. He is trying to move on with Nayeli. He also tells her that Nayeli's mother is their "Consuelo." Carmen is surprised.

25. Vale tells Vero that her daughter is the best. She has her own light. Vero agrees. Her daughter is beautiful and is her motivation to get up and go to work every day. Having her daughter was the most beautiful thing that has happened to her in her life. Vale is a little jealous that Nayeli has a mother like her. Vero starts to cry out of emotion.

Hugo has come to see Vale but hears them talking so he waits outside the door. Vale tells Vero that she felt strange when she found out that Hugo was Nayeli's novio. She would love to see them happy but admits she made a mistake with Hugo. If she could turn back time, she would give him a real chance with her which she didn't. Instead, she chose badly. She chose Eleazar. She has to get Eleazar out of her heart. What they had is over forever.

TAN CERCA

I didn't have time to proof read.
 

TAN CERCA

Excellent Jarifa. I savored every sweet and savory syllable. You are exactly right in that there was too much chatter, emotional currents flowed with no dam to stem the tide, especially distraught Consuelo.I can't believe Vale is ruing not giving Hugo a chance. She never felt anything for him but genuine friendship. I hope Hugo is worthy of Yaneli's love and realizes Vale is still pining over Eleazar. Alas I fear the worst.

I really thought Isaura had her act together. Now she is chasing a loser and one she thinks is married at that. I'm completely flummoxed as to how "yokel" (perfect) Aurelio inspired such an impassioned speech from Comsuelo. He is hard hearted, unforgiving and completely unworthy.

"Vero is not quite so pleased but plays the role she has been given" was
as spot on. Kass is obviously more crafty than mama. If you can't beat them...

Joaquin and Vero are growing closer daily. I suspect there is little Kass can do about it. Romina and Ivan's little flirtation is getting a bit stale. Jarifa thank you for another marvelous recap.

Jarifa, I must dash , but I wanted to thank you for more wonderful notes from.your couch .
A few thoughts..most of.these people are so frustrating doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get what they want.
Ivan , who appears to have found a comb, ..hey, she's married ..move along .
Olga, Ivan isn't interested in getting back together ...move along .

Consuela and Isaura ..what do either of you see in crusty, cranky , charmless Aurelia ,

Love Yanelli's bright colors and eternally optimistic attitude. She is so young and in love and going to get hurt badly .

Sly, relentless Kass must know the saying my mother used to tell me " you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar."
Susan




 

Tan Cerca

I enjoyed your notes from the couch, thanks so much your your daily recaps.

I was very surprised that Consuelo took Nayeli’s news so calmly. I would have flipped out if my daughter had calmly told me that news as a teenager. Consuelo and Nayeli must have a great relationship, that’s not something most teenagers would share. But now we see Hugo is with her because he gave up on Vale, but now he overhears Vale and I think hemay decide to try again with Vale!

I thought the whole little speech Kassandra gave to Vero was just phoned. I don’t see her being part of a team with Vale and Joaquin. But Joaquin was impressed. Although his saying yes, welcome, to her moving back in was less than enthusiastic. I could see him being lead into marriage with Kassandra with no enthusiasm. Just doing what Kassandra wants.

The beating hasn’t improved Eleazar’s attitude. He’ll be nice to his dad and Reba because they tell him he’s the champion and rude to everyone else. I wonder if his dad is going to ask him to throw a race eventually.

Susan, I agree with you, a bunch of people trying to pair up with people that are either not interested or not available. And then Aurelio has two woman interested in him!


 

TAN CERCA

Niecie, I would not be adverse to more of Polito pursuing Olga.

Diana, "I hope Hugo is worthy of Yaneli's love and realizes Vale is still pining over Eleazar. Alas I fear the worst." Me, too. I found Aurelios' explanation of his current situation fascinating as well as Nico's suggestion for a cure. He is such a big selfish baby.

Susan, "Sly, relentless Kass must know the saying my mother used to tell me " you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." She is SO VERY obvious. Is Joaquín awake or what?

Liz, "The beating hasn’t improved Eleazar’s attitude. He’ll be nice to his dad and Reba because they tell him he’s the champion and rude to everyone else. I wonder if his dad is going to ask him to throw a race eventually." Now that is a possibility that didn't pass through my mind but makes so much sense. I could see Mario demanding that of him.
