You guys, it's been a pleasure. I've had such a great time recapping Sombra, I'm sorry to see it end. I want to thank the rest of the AMAZING recap team and everyone who sat on the Naughty Melon's patio for making my first recapping experience so awesome.

Your papi is a rat bastard:
The truth is out. Aldi confirms that Severiano was the pig who raped her, Cristobal finally realizes that that's why she left town without saying goodbye.

Don Antonio has Sev where the

kill Sev like the rabid, cowardly dog that he is. He wants to kill him in the
shadows where he’s committed so many of his own crimes. With no witnesses, his
death will be just another unsolved crime in the trail of “not-enough-evidence”
crimes that Sev’s been racking up for years.

Humberto and his shrew
Poor Humberto, I think we can all agree that his life poor choices have finally caught up with him, his wife belongs in an episode of Cheaters and his daughter, well, she needs some serious professional help. Today, Humberto's wife shows up at his clinic and tells him that she will never give him the divorce and if he moves forward she Princess Jujuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13239691199075587553noreply@blogger.com70tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-84935045427972367172015-07-10T22:41:00.005-04:002020-07-08T13:38:14.722-04:00La Sombra del Pasado #104, 7/10/15: No cliff hanger, just more annoyance<!--[if gte mso 9]>

Sev drops all the charges against Padre J, before leaving the station and in front of the police officers he says "that priest better not think this is the end of this"- and storms out of the police station, Nava is all like "dude you can't say things like that in front of the popo" and Sevs all like "I don't care!"

”Short of It” at the end
The Long of It: Aldonza and Cris kiss it out and then sit because the man is using a cane. Cris tells Aldie he went to find Eman. He didn’t, but Eman won a competition, so yay. He found out about the sibling lie when he spoke to Dom. Aldie tells him they think his parents messed with the test he ordered, but they’re not sure.

The Short of It: Cris and Aldi agree they should take some time apart. Eman actually tied for first place in the horse competition. Cande and PJ get everyone to PJ’s special reconciliation mass. Ren and Silvia don’t kiss, but they do make up. Silvia’s says she’s Team Ren now. Tomás and Pru meet at the church. Sev tries to assault Aldonza AGAIN!

Take my wife-please!
We get a replay of last Friday night's episode. Cristobal, having received the false DNA results calls Renato over to hand over his wife. Yep, cause that's how things are done in 2015. He tells Renato to take Aldonza and make her happy because he's not able to.

Wow what a full episode. I had every intention of being all summary and snark….but there didn’t seem to be too many snark-o-tunities. Heavy stuff.
Lets get right to it, shall we? (Some scenes are combined or omitted.)

But Cris doesn't believe her. Cande dares him to ask Aldonza…or Silvia, even. Cris won't be badgered into doing it. No offense to badgers.

Main points:Lola and Irma tells Aldonza and Adelina Mari’s version of the story with Eman. They don’t believe it. Eman gets sloshed. The cops go to Joaquin looking for Flavia in connection with Adriano for Lardo’s murder. Sev tells Cris about Cande and PJ, but Cris doesn’t really care. Mari has regrets about what she did, but Val reinforces her evil ways.

Now your recap:
We get to see a replay of Sev getting rid of Simoneta's body, and we see his arrival at Las Animas where Dominga and Mel are waiting for him to let him know that his wife has been trying to reach him.

The Short Version:
Padre J and Dom make excuses. Cande barely buys them. Recapper snorts.
Sev keeps Aldonza out of Cris’ room. Recapper throws stuff at the TV.
Hum says medical stuff. Recapper wonders if it's really that important.
Cris goes for a walk. A bloody mess and recapper nausea ensues. Recapper decides it probably makes Hums earlier Unknownnoreply@blogger.com83tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-34315105444241749882015-06-10T23:34:00.002-04:002015-08-01T22:40:04.357-04:00La Sombra del Pasado #82 - Wed 6/10 - Undercover shenanigansMmmmmm…lovin' the replay of Lola and Emmanuel's steamy scene.
Hum gives Sev an "I told you so!" both about Cris' leg and Roberta giving birth. And he calls him on lying about the injury to his arm. Hum is sick and tired of being asked to do surgeries he's not qualified to do, and Sev can bring in his own damn surgeon if he doesn't like Hum's attitude, damnit!

If you saw it, a taste: Aldie’s not mad about the hair thievery. She sneaks in to see Cris while he’s knocked out. PJ wants to steal a sample of Sev’s blood and forge his signature to do another DNA test! Tomas searches for Pru.

Valeria confronts Cris. How dare he sleep with her while he was married to Aldonza? If she had known that she would never have slept with him.

Short: Sev tells PJ about the night Ray died, but not about the rape; PJ struggles hard to deal with his newfound hatred. With Eman’s help, Cris sneaks into Aldie’s room and cuts a lock of her hair. There’s no water at Las Animas or El Santuario. Cris asks Ren to delay the divorce; Ren refuses. Cris tells Cande the divorce will take 3 months.

Let me rest.I'm out of recapper juice, this show is killing me and I'm ready to cross that river. Hence the title...inspired by this bluegrass tune.
It's gonna be crap y'all. All over the place, condensed all to hell and missing large chunks of action and the drama. I didn't take notes and I only half watched it again for recapping purposes. It really wasn't that bad. Maybe it was just me.

Emanuel goes to El Santuario to see Aldonza. Lola is there. Cue the theme music. You can tell the spark is still there even if the two of them have their heads too far up their ass to see it and quit playing mind games (thanks for the new toy, hellashelle!)

The short summary is under
the long one this time. No snark; too much ass-hattery for snark.
The Long of
It: Cristobal keeps breaking our collective hearts with his tears.
How is he supposed to just stop feeling what he feels for Aldonza? How’s he
going to get past this? Emmanuel doesn’t know what to tell him, but he’ll stay

Recap courtesy of HellaShelle
Here’s a quick and dirty recap, so ppl can talk. I’ll try to submit a clean, more detailed one later.
A furious Candela tells Simoneta to have Sev call her when he gets back. Sim has the nerve to look confused when Cande hangs up on her, even though she pretty much just told the woman that she’s her husband’s mistress.

Aldonza gives Renato instructions to stop the investigation into who burned down her apartment, she does not want to cause more pain to the Lagos family.

glorifying Love. We glue ourselves to our screens night after night

Long story short: Aldie bought into Cande/Val’s tired plot and went back to DF. Emmanuel called Val out and is moving out. Pru slapped Lardo in front of Irma, who asked Mari about it.

Please remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The Shortest Version:
Cristobal wants to marry Aldonza. Yeah. It's a crazy idea. He gives her time to think about it though. He'll be waiting for her at noon tomorrow at El Santuario. If she doesn't show up, he'll leave her alone for good.. (If you are dying to know what happens, skip to the end of the recap.)

Long paragraph: Humberto is up in arms over Sev’s implied orders, but Sev says he shouldn’t take life so seriously. Especially other peoples’ lives.

I'm in step with those who are watching Amores Con Trampa but still catching up to La Sombra del Pasado (cap 25) and Que Te Perdone Dios (cap 34), but the sexism is getting to me.

Candelaria (Cande) tells Severiano(Sev) to tell Cristobal(Cris) what Aldonza did to him. In Sev's telling, Aldonza is a nutcase who stabbed him simply because he told her to leave Cris and Valeria(Val) alone. Cris doesn't buy it. Cande jumps in and tells him that yes, Aldonza is capable.
