Caray, Caray!

* Lo refrito: you bastard, screams Kendra, no one will stop me! You bastard! Kill him, Espanto, kill him!

* Lo Nuevo: Dances with Sunglasses pulls his gun out and aims it at the witch. But Macaria Chávez is a very lucky ho, because Espanto saves her pretty butt by hitting Salsero’s head from behind. However, the gun fires and Kendho gets shot on her upper arm. While Salsa-Dude is lying on the floor unconsciously, the panicking duo is sneaking out of the flat through the service door. Outside they get into Espanto’s van. The Barbie doll can’t stop screaming and crying, she’s in pain. The members of Viewerville try to practice forgiveness and mercy, but they are having a hard time with it. YOU DESERVED IT, B****!

Hola, Madeline and I (Elvira) are sharing duties on this recap. I do the first segment, she does the second.

Some screencaps to get us started!

Vikki and Big Angel welcome their little bebe into the world.

"That slut is calling." Sometimes these photo captions just write themselves!

Big Angel and the Little Ape overhear some very interesting stuff!

Amores Verdaderos Cap 179, 7-23-13—Gramps gets a reaming in the church, Big Angel has major meltdown

My recording crapped out for a few minutes but I got most of the episode. PUT A FORK IN IT, IT IS DONE! Recap as done as it's gonna get!

Here are some screencaps to get us started.

The wedding is interrupted!

Big Angel's tearful reaction to the Furry Fornicator's shocking news.

Lili looks at her dad, equally shocked and in despair.

The bio parents are certainly not enjoying witnessing poor Big Angel's obvious shock and distress.

OVERVIEW WITH SCREENCAPS. It's as done as it's going to get!

* Vicente (soooo glad he won out over Carlos, BTW) and Adriana are looking forward to Lili finding out the truth about her true parentage. They worry about how Big Angel is going to take the news, though. Their worries are not unfounded, as we will find out.

Happy and normal! In this novela? Inconceivable!

* Preparations for the boda are underway. Lili has made everything ready and she's gushing at Gramps. Meanwhile at the mansion, Big Angel and Vicki are preparing to attend, and talk about their own plans for wedding bliss.

* Gramps talks to himself while in the still-unoccupied church. He calls the wedding a "sham," and says that he's going to keep Cande strung along, "she's so naive" he thinks, to believe that he'll ever tell Adriana about Lili being her kid. Gramps is still full of douchatude plotting, even on his wedding day.

The King of the Douchebags.

* The Furry Fornicator has to settle a score with Gramps. What better place to do it than at Gramps's church wedding? He's telling the Ho of this and she tries to discourage him. They also talk about his taking a job at an agency in Chicago.

* Everyone's congregating at the church for the wedding. Cande really does look lovely with her lacy veil. Lili is there, so happy for everyone and oozing love for Gramps and Cande.

Something more will be put here later. Discuss amongst yourselves. Quick overview with more planned to be added later.

Yep, he kisses her hand and says he'll be her stand-in baby daddy. *Viewerville melts.*

It's been one of those days. I hate this. I want to do this episode more justice. I'll do that later. It might be much later today. Check back for updates. Lo siento!

For now, here's the super-short version based on a sketchy memory. Events may not be listed in order.

* Vicki tells Big Angel that if Lili survives, that she'll give up Big Angel forever, for Lili's sake. Much crying and teeth gnashing over this decision.

* Vicente is a dream come true for Adri. If that deadbeat dad Joan-Carlos doesn't want to be a daddy to Adri's baby, Vicente will! Hand kissing. Sigh.

* Roy the Boy visits Lili in the hospital, but his Prince Charming kiss doesn't awaken our Disney Princess. She dreams only of the Little Ape. (More on that later.)

* Big Angel tries to get Lili to wake up. She opens her eyes briefly. Big Angel is beside himself with grief and worry over her condition.

* Big Angel finds out that Roy the Boy is there at the hospital. Big Angel pops a cork. Roy the Boy convinces Big Angel of his sincerity. The two exchange a manly hug, united in solidarity over their love for Lili.

* Joan-Carlos is ticked off that Adriana seemed to move on so quickly. Jocelyn says, "What did you expect? You didn't want to be tied down! You snooze you lose!" Joan-Carlos says that he got to feel "love" for Adri, she's the first one that got to him feel at that level since Vicki, but I believe he still reiterated his disinterest in babies. Well you know dude, keep that thought because there's a Prince in White Scrubs that will be more than happy to step in for you, and frankly at the moment I think he's way hotter than you. (This opinion is subject to change, depending on how the plotline develops.)

* The Ho is talking to her henchman (I'll remember his name but don't ask me to give it now) about bumping off Gramps, because he's ticking her off with calling her on her B.S. and all. Henchman suggests that she can get to Gramps (Anibal) by trying to seduce him instead. She's willing to give it a shot. Gramps is a douchebag, but no dummy. He's not falling for it. (I drifted off during part of this so I could be getting some of it wrong.)

* Lili our Disney Princess dreams (literally, she sleeps and dreams) of a Disney Princess wedding to the Little Ape. Oh barf.

* Earlier Big Angel heard Lili whisper "Francisco!" when she briefly woke up, so the Little Ape goes in to visit her. She says she is slipping away, has no reason to live. Her dad Big Angel is got a baby on the way and a new woman. Lili doesn't need to stick around. She has only one dream in her life, and there's no time for it to be realized—she'd love to marry Guzmancito. Well, Guzmancito obviously can't grant her wish. Or can he?

* Guzmancito tells the awaiting crowd in the hospital waiting room that Lili has one last wish and that's to get hitched to him. Roy the Boy doesn't like the sound of it. But Nikki says that since Lili's going to check out soon, that Guzman should do this for her. The Little Ape has tears streaming down his face. (JUMPING THE SHARK, WE ARE JUMPING THE SHARK HARD.)

* Cande overhears Adri crying over Lili and (for a reason I missed, will fill in later!) realizes that she can't keep the secret of Lili's parentage a secret any longer. She pulls Adri aside and just dumps the truth on her. Doesn't give her the specifics, just that Lili is Lucia. Adri is spitting mad, incredulous, yadda yadda. Candi pleads with Adri to not let Big Angel know, because it would crush him. Adri's fondness for Big Angel and his inherent decentness doesn't take much time to kick in and she agrees that no one should know of Lili's true parentage. Poor Big Angel doesn't deserve that. She makes Candi promise that she won't say anything of this (that Adri knows the truth) to Gramps. END OF EPISODE.

AVANCES: Adri tells Vicente that Lili is "their" daughter. Adri gives birth. Joan-Carlos comes to see her. Guzmancito visits Lili and says he's willing to fulfill her dream.

Amores Verdaderos Cap 170, 7-9-13—Everyone's getting fed up.

Some parts are abbreviated. Screencaps have been put up.  (Estoy cansado.)

PREVIEW SCREENCAP.

Vicki brings some amazing news to Big Angel.

* The Little Ape has a sh*t hemorrhage when he sees Roy the Boy embracing Nikki. He roughs up the Boy. It takes some quick explanations (Roy the Boy & Nikki are going to get a church annulment, thus leaving the path open for a church wedding for Guzmancito and Nikki) to finally calm our Little Gorilla down. Kissing and making up, interrupted by a phone call to Nikki from the Furry Fornicator. Come to the clinic now!

Calm DOWN. Irrational rage does not become you, Guzmancito.

* Adriana is doing the math (looking at her calendar) and figuring out that she is going to be a mom again. (She confirms with a home pregnancy test.) Let's hope Gramps doesn't kidnap this baby too! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.) She is delighted about this development, then ambivalent about how Carlos is going to take the news.

The stick reveals the truth.

WEEKEND EDITION HEADLINES

or Another long night in the hospital.

or Where the hell is Victoria?

or Please don’t hurt my Neltroll.

or Helllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooo, Marcelo Córdoba! Cameo:

“A cameo role or cameo appearance; often shortened to just cameo) is a brief appearance or voice part of a known person in a work of the performing arts, typically unnamed or appearing as themselves.”

* Lo refrito: while Nikki is sobbing in the corner, Guzmáncito is packing her suitcases. Although it hurts him, he had to realize that sometimes love isn’t enough.

* Lo nuevo: Aníbal offers his “help” to Nelson. He can keep his position in the company in exchange for divorcing from Victoria. Tomorrow they’re going to a lawyer, captas? But the Furminator has one more bomb to drop: tonight he’s going to tell Adriana that Lili is her daughter. Uhh-ohh.

Frankie outsmarts Aníbal but in the end, at least for tonight, the old coot has the last laugh.

The Old Stuff

Francisco has a briefcase full of cash, a first class plane ticket to New York and a phone video of him and Aníbal doing the deal.  

Arriaga chooses the cash settlement Victoria's lawyer offers for the loss of his house.  As he signs the agreement, he smiles at the thought that Vikki is with him, helping him, even when they are apart.

The New Stuff

Aníbal tracks Nikki down at the Pizzeria to tell her he just bought off the love of her life for thirty pieces of silver (a cool half million at today's exchange rate).  Even as they speak, Guzmán is on his way to the airport to hop a plane to New York, he tells her.  Nikki is stunned.  That can't be true! 

"Go see for yourself," says her tatito coolly.
