Amores Verdaderos #147 Thu 6/6/13 The Snails are Silenced, but Collars have Spoken
UltraBelle Photo Shoot: While Nelson grips her hand, the
doctor listens to Nabila’s slowing heart beats.
Finally, the doctor removes the stethoscope. She's gone, he says. I’ve
done all that I could do except for performing chest compressions, maybe giving
her CPR, perhaps giving her an allergy shot or checking her throat for obvious obstructions. Other than that, I’ve done everything that I
possibly could do. OK, maybe I could have called a doctor that cared, but other
than that, I did most of what I could have done. Nelson is stunned. Well, at least she died looking fabulous in a
Valentino gown.
Greenhouse: Anibal has brought Candy and
Lilly to visit a greenhouse approximately the size of an airplane hangar. Sour Candy looks very bitter. She doesn’t mind if Lilly works there, but she
doesn’t agree that she should accept such an extravagant gift. Lilly agrees with her grandmother and tells
Anibal that she can’t take it. Arriaga
wouldn’t understand, she says.

Amores Verdaderos #146 Wed 6/5/13 A Perfect Day for Love, A Perfect Day for Murder
In which:
- Victoria and Arriaga exchange vows of love and then fret over how to tell the kids.
- Lili keeps pestering Guzmán and rejecting Roy
- Bea and Guillo are reunited
- Aníbal pays Lili for her silence and in doing so, antagonizes Candelaria.
- Nabila's life proves nasty, brutish and short
Nelson is gone and Victoria is uneasy about what he might do next. Arriaga tells her they can think about the outside world tomorrow. This is their first night together. They kiss. Awww.
Liliana turns a deaf ear to Roy, insisting that she only has eyes for her Frankie. Maybe she and Roy had something at one time but he ruined it with his lies. For his part, Roy can't believe she's rejecting him for a guy who doesn't love her. Doesn't she get it that Guzmán and Nikki are in love with each other? (That is, they are both 10's.) He, Roy the Boy, is the one is love with her! (That is, he and Lili are both 6's, maybe 7's.)

Amores Verdaderos Cap 145, 6-4-13—Everyone declares love for everyone else. Except Nelson.
SUMMARY, not in order, may be condensed to preserve my sanity.
* We have a refrito of Vicki and Big Angel doing their mating dance, wandering all over the estate in various positions and smooching. Finally they make it to the bedroom and disrobing commences. We start a love scene which we don't see in detail.
* Betty is doing better in the hospital. Meanwhile, Mr. Mezclo. (Can't remember his name—the homeless guy) is wringing his hands in guilt because he didn't try to reunite Guillo with his family sooner. He prays for forgiveness. Behind him, Paula and Felipe are talking in the waiting room about how they hope to locate Guillo soon—oblivious that Guzmancito has already found him! We cut to Guzman chatting with Guillo in his hospital room.

| Love on the Lawn—Big Angel and Vicki finally do it! (But they don't do "it" on the lawn. They just have a picnic and smooch there.) |

Amores Verdaderos #144 Mon 6/3/13 FINALLY a bit of relief for Frankie!!, the 3 amores of Vicky have their due... Carlos: his moment to man up to Anyballs; Angel, his moment in paradise; Nil-Brains, his cuernos
Recap of Vicky confronting Carlos by the SUV, she admits her mistake of the past in chosing husband, but that he has a double identity and that she kissed Carlos, not this stranger in front of her. He increases the pressure. 'Your bodyguard said he loves you. Do you love him??' She won't answer.
At Nikki's room, Nil-Brains comes on, wants to talk. She doesn't. How could you marry that... 'Low-bookie'... She won't hear any explanations. She yells he is a married man. He won't admit his mistakes, would rather blame her mother. She stopped 'fulfilling her marital duty, I am young, had to look elsewhere'. Nikki won't bulge, 'you let her become my friend!, and you let her be in this house and mock my mother and me!'. He claims he could not stop it. She won't hear it. 'You had every chance of confessing, but you would not dare lose her!' Nil-Brains changes strategy, begs Nikki not to hurt KenDrat, 'she is pregnant with your sister, whether you like it or not'... Nikki leaves in a huff.
Back to teenagers in their late 40s in the parking lot, he wants an answer, she won't admit loving Arriaga, swears she won't be with Arriaga EVER!... He asks 'what about me?' Not sure. I am confused. I see more resentment in you than love. Have to go away alone to think about it all.
At hospital, Bea wakes up. Realizes she lost her new baby and is very sad. Dances is there to console her. She is really sad, she already was loving this new baby, now don't have any of my children... yada yada... Dances wants to talk about their future, family. Bea won't even listen about anything but finding her son. Dances tells her they have leads, that Guillo was headed for Mexico.
Meanwhile at Mezcalitos, Guillo is really ill, very high fever. Mez gets real scared.
Mez worries that there is no money for clinic or meds. Mez prays to virgin to save his new grandkid.
At B house, JM and Polita are caring for Balzac. JM is taking real good care of him along with Stefano. They ask for Odiosa. JM tells her and Lilli that Stefano will send her to complete her recovery at Switzerland clinic. Polita tells them that Bea's ex husb died and Bea is in hospital and Guillo is not found yet. They all will pray for Guillo to be found soon. JM ready to get back to work once Odiosa leaves.
Vicky tells Adri about Carlos and Jean C being same guy. Vicky asks Adri if there is anything between them. Adri says no, and if he had not turned out to be Carlos... he must love you very much to fake being simple employee at grocery wholesaler just to find out where he stands with 'the love of his life'.

Amores Verdaderos #143 Fri 5/31/13 Yawn Carlos is Finally Exposed; FF Makes His Demands Known; It's A Crazy Day In BalvaneraLandia!
This recap will not be in order. I am starting with Betty first.
Betty's Dilema Continues:
Betty's family has arrived at the hospital, that would be Felipe and the Pau and Guzmancito. Salsero is with Betty. We'll get to Salsero and Betty in tic. Pau wants to know about the bebe that Betty is carrying, will the bebe make it? The Doc thinks there is a good chance she'll lose the bebe. Salsero is in with Betty and Betty wants to know about the low one, did the cops get him? Salsero tells her he's dead, the cops shot him during the shoot out, he'll never hurt her again. She looks relieved but wants to know where Guillo is, he must be with his Abue. Salsero tells her that the low one took him to the country and that Abue doesn't have him, he ran away. The cops are looking for him now. Betty is really upset cause they looked for poor Guillo for four months already and never found him. Now he is all alone and noone to care for him. Salsero wants her to be calm. Meantime, out in the waiting area, Felipe and Pau want to know if Betty knows about the low one being dead and that Guillo is missing. Guzmancito is sure that Salsero told her. They hope Betty takes this well cause if not she could lose, and Felipe cuts Pau off and they are going to the chapel to pray.

Amores Verdaderos #142 Thu 5/30/13 The Low One Kicks the Bucket, and Jhoannn Is So Busted
* Lo refrito: Victoria is comforting her baby girl.
* Lo nuevo: in the morning Vicky informs Adriana about Nikki and Roy, and she asks Adri to support her niece. Of course, says Adri, but now please tell her about what happened between her and Carlos. He kissed me, answers Vicky, just in the moment when the Angel enters the room. Arriaga pulls his trademark sad look, and tells the ladies that the car is ready. Vicky looks very uncomfortable, but since she's fed up with the Angel's guilt, she decides that she won't give a damn. When Arriaga leaves the room, Adri starts gushing about the great Joan Constantín whom she'll meet in the afternoon: at last they'll sign her contract! The happy Jhoannn-fangirl tightly hugs Nikki, who just entered the dining room. They are adorable.

Tonight ...
--Nikki and Roy are history
--Guillo is missing
--Paula is dying
--Beatriz is -- what? -- 6 months pregnant
Vikki is understandably disconcerted after Carlos's weird, face-smashing display. She turns down his offer of a ride home. Carlos is not discouraged. On the contrary, Vikki seems to have passed his test and he's more determined than ever to win her heart.
Meanwhile Nelson Brizz complains about Kendra's constant nagging. Salsero, who takes his pleasure where he can find it, tells his boss how to avoid another Kendra: he'd better lay down the law (leerle la cartilla) to Nabila; or better yet -- get a vasectomy.

Amores Verdaderos #140 Tue 5/28/13 Good English, for a change
Amores Verdaderos Cap 140 5-28-13 — Good English, for a change
Lo siento, I sort of snoozed through parts of this episode. Here's a quick overview. Will flesh out bits later, but I think the action is slated to pick up in future episodes.
First off, an example of "Good English"!
Brief overview, based on memory, not in order:
* Nikki goes to the Little Gorilla's hotel, only to find that he's already gone home. She speaks IN ENGLISH to the hotel guy. Her English is better than his (which was understandable but with a definite oddness about it). Nikki sounded almost like a native to me.
* Vicki confronts Adri about her "feelings" for Big Angel. Adri assures Vicki that it's just a friendship, nothing more. Vicki doesn't seem to quite buy it until she eavesdrops on Big Angel and Adri talking about how they are Just Friends.
* Nikki and Roy the Boy agree to separate. This is not working out, they're just like buddies now, which is okay but not a marriage. They'll deal with the family when they get home.
* The Little Ape has returned to Mexico. His first stop is the Mansion where he meets up with Lili, who plants him with a big kiss. Uh oh. They have this discussion about how maybe she can be his novia. He tries to play the "let's be friends" card. Big Angel overhears the whole novia thing and FREAKS OUT, but the whole misunderstanding is soon smoothed over, 'cuz Guzmancito is not going to date Lili.
* Cande is now in town and visits the house and talks to Anyballs. She feels guilty for not letting anyone know about The Secret. (Lili's true parentage.) Anyballs asks her to keep the secret for a while longer. Eventually he'll sort it all out and everyone will know. The Furry Fornicator arrives and is introduced to Cande. He's soooo pleased to see her (as she is the writer of The Letter). Douche.
* Big Angel asks Cande about The Letter. He suspects that it contained the identity of Christina's father.
* Childish jealousy between Victoria and Big Angel. Big Angel loves Vicki but still feels guilty. We have more eavesdropping. Ho hum. Vicki gets the idea that Big Angel is willing to let her go. He pretty much tells her that she should "go for it!" with Carlos. So she decides she will. She doesn't sound too thrilled about it.
* Carlos visits the Balvanera house as Joan, to pick up Adri to go to some event where he is speaking about film as Joan. He seems kind of taken with her (kisses her on the cheeks effusively) but am not sure if that is for effect or what. For some dumb reason he thinks that he can come to the Balvanera mansion with little risk of being discovered by Vicki. Of course he almost is detected, as Adri invited Vicki to attend the event as well. Carlos/Joan has to think fast and jettison Adri out of there before Vicki comes down the stairs. Lame.
* Carlos later arranges to be at an imported food store as Carlos the Milk Man.
* At the film event, Jocelyn "warns" Adri to not get any ideas about Joan, that he's a "free spirit." Adri looks like she's thinking about it. Not sure she ever thought of Joan that way in the first place.
* The Little Ape does not know that Guillo has been kidnapped yet. Big Angel realizes this but doesn't say anything because he promised he wouldn't.
* Leo the Low returns to Mexico City, calls Beatriz and is able to learn that Guillo isn't with her. He pretends that he'll "let" Beatriz see Guillo. She just has to promise to not tell anyone. She of course will do anything to see Guillo.
* Big Angel visits with Opalina. He says he's losing Vicki. Opalina says no way. She gives him the key to her house so he can go there whenever he needs some down time or something.
* Kendra the Ho is furious because her skanky charms have not been enough to hold the Furry Fornicator. She calls her competition, Nabila, to find out what's up. Nabila is getting a massage and doesn't give a crap about any of this. Kendra the Ho swears that she'll kill Nabila, a threat which of course no one takes seriously. Nabila hangs up on the Ho.
* There is more petty horse manure between Vicki and Big Angel. She's gonna give Carlos a go. She visits Carlos at the Imported Food Store. He's wearing his Milkman Cap. She's doing her repressed sexual tension thing with Big Angel at the door of the Imported Food Store and Carlos sees. Carlos comments that she used to look at him (Carlos) like that 25 years ago! He ain't dumb. She blows that off and says she's there to see him, yadda yadda. They blab for a while about how she's changed, no she hasn't, oh whatever. Finally Carlos says he's gonna show her the REAL him! He plants a big, dry-looking kiss on her. End of episode.
I'm sure I missed some bits. Will fill them in later.
AVANCES: More of the dry kiss. Nikki and Guzman finally reunite. At last!

Amores Verdaderos #139 Mon 5/27/13 Angel with Guilts and Nil-Brains have a new rival. Nil-Brains keeps throwing mud at himself while Angel with Guilts continues to fight his own demons. Carlos wonders what he got into. Poor Guillo goes from one bad situation to another
Guillo continues riding the back of the truck.
Frankie calls ex-wife, got stuck at airport due to snow cancellations. He is sorry he won’t be there to give Guillo his hug.
Gilda tells Victoria that Guillo is still lost… Vicky questions why Bea did not tell Frankie, Gilda says Bea did not want Frankie to come back right away, he would have if he knew. Vicky imagines Bea and Guillo’s pain of separation. She can understand perfectly what it is like for a mother to lose her child as she sees her sister’s suffering with her baby girl.
Padre from hometown has come to offices to talk to Angel with Guilts. ‘Guilt is a very hard weed to remove from the garden of our serenity’. Angel with Guilts thinks he was not a good husband. He failed Cristina with his thoughts. And even though everyday he fights against his feelings for Vicky, he can’t. And now he is also afraid of losing her. Vicky’s old flame has come back to her life. (Vicky comes by outside the door and can hear the rest). Angel can’t resign himself to the idea of Vicky rebuilding her life with another. Padre says if you can’t right your life, let her do it with her own. Angel says he will never be able to get over what happened with Cris. Padre says ‘never’ is a harsh term. Time will heal your wound. Angel thinks it is best is to let Vicky live her own fate. She told him about her feelings for him and he rejected her due to his guilt. He knows it is time to let her live her life, but his heart does not understand.
Vicky, now back in her office, tells herself that it is no good that Angel has feelings for her if he can’t put off the guilt for Cris. Ours is a hopeless love.
At KenDrat’s, same ol same ol… she nags about his not spending time with her, he nags back ‘can’t do enough to please you’. She nags that he is keeping her in ‘single mom’ status. He wants to assure his financial status before he gets divorced. There is a new deal he is wrapping up for MI with a facial crème company, he’ll get good money for that. She does not believe him, she is ‘FED UP!! FED UP!!!’. He calls her HYSTERIC, he is fed up with her nagging. She asks him if he got tired of her for being ‘fat’ or is he unfaithful to her with another? If he is, she will kill him!. He leaves. KenDrat blames her unborn daughter, you make me fat, be born already!! Darn the moment I got pregnant!!
Frankie alone in hotel remembers his best moments with Nikki caressing/kissing the chain/pendant she gave him. Nikki still at hotel in Toronto, CAN, also remembers him. He cries devastated. (a song in the background, I think it is Reik, talks about ‘you gave another your heart’). Later he says she is a love that couldn’t be but also a love he can’t get out of his heart, his AMOR VERDADERO. She writes him another ‘can’t wait for us to be together forever and ever’ letter. Roy comes to tell her he has to go to a press conference. She is ‘tu fresh y yo cool’ with that. They are very nice to each other.

Amores Verdaderos #138 Fri 5/24/13 The Angel Missteps, But He's A Good Listener and Advice Giver; Guillo is More Like His Uncle Frankie!
We start this epi in the kitchen of the Balvanera Manse where Ms Vikki is out of sorts, seeing the camaraderie of the Angel, Lili and Adri as they want to go out for tacos. Ms Vikki is sorting feeling like the fourth wheel. They ask if she'd like to go with them? She uses work as an excuse not to go out. Jealous much Ms Vikki? They go and Ms Vikki calls Nikki up in Toronto. She is happy to hear from her super Mami but Roy and Omar are waiting for her and thanks for calling. Love you! Click. Now Nikki has a vision of Guzmancito sitting on the sofa in her hotel room and he tells her he can't wait for her to get to New York, so they can tour Manhattan, take tons of pictures of the Statue of Liberty and kiss in Central Park. This vision fades and Nikki swears that soon, very soon Guzmancito will see how much she loves him. Awwww.
The Pau Gets Some Shockingly Bad News:
Pau has gone to the doctor for the results of her tests. She wants the truth, no coddling. She has third stage multiple myeloma, cancer of the plasma cells. Pau is shocked and asks how much time she has left. Only three months. Now Pau cries and if I had been her I would have cried too. The Doctor tells her he can give her meds for the pain and also so she can have some type of quality of life.
Cande Is Back!
Cande is looking for a job at the same hospital Pau is at. She tells the Doctor she will take any type of work that is open. The Doc tells her no problem they have her cell number in case they need her, and Cande starts down the hall and bumps into the Pau who drops her paperwork. Cande helps her pick it up and then recognizes the Pau as the Pau recognizes Cande.

Amores Verdaderos #137 Thu 5/23/13 Lunch with a Milkman and a Bodyguard
Ballsvanera Mansion Foyer: Arriaga is sitting in a chair patiently waiting for Victoria. When she emerges, whipped Arriaga leaps to his feet, commandeers her brief case and tosses it over his shoulder. As she gives him their itinerary for the day: office and lunch with Carlos, Adrianna runs into the foyer and tells her sister that she wants to talk to her about something important. Intent on keeping Arriaga at an employee/employer distance, Vicky informs her bodyguard that he will have to eat in the Meta Imagen cafeteria and orders him to wait in the truck for her. Once Arriaga exits, Adrianna gives Vicky the opportunity to share her news first; Adrianna's news will require her sister's undivided attention. Victoria tells Adrianna that she is having lunch with Carlos Gonzalez.
Ballsvanera Mansion Driveway: Disney Princess Lilly tells Arriaga that Guzman called her from New York. She's told him that Victoria's back and informed him of everything that's been going on in the Ballsvanera House.
Ballsvanera Mansion Foyer: Victoria tells Adrianna that Carlos asked about her. Adrianna tells Victoria that she got the director of photography job for Conny's movie and she's meeting him for dinner later. Victoria congratulates her sister.
Kendra's Apartment: KENDRA...HAS...ON...CLOTHES! It's a floor-lengthed night gown but, it's a good start. Kendra is b*tchin' at Nelson. He slept with her last night and doesn't understand what more she expects from him. She wants more of him; she wants him to be a father. Nelson is aware that Kendra only wanted him to stay with her because Vicky came home last night. Kendra doesn't deny it and accuses Nelson of being in love with his wife. Nelson won't leave his wife until he gets a bigger share Meta Imagen stock. After Nelson leaves, Kendra tells her stomach that she's tired of being knocked up and wishes the baby would come soon. She's sure that Nelson has lost interest in her because her belly is swollen. She wants the baby to come so it will take Nicky's place in his heart.

Amores Verdaderos #136 Wed 5/22/13 This is only a test!
♫ Well I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed ♪♪
While Vikki and her old flame, Carlos González, are getting reacquainted in the high-rise luxury apartment, the Big Angel is in his boss's studio, fussing over roses and candles, checking his tie in the mirror and fretting over the time. It's getting late. Where is the señora Victoria? He plays with a blank canvas on the easel and then seems to have an idea. Smiling broadly, he picks up a paint brush.
Vikki seems to let her guard down. She gives honest answers to Carlos's questions about her marriage and her family. Carlos is honest about at least one thing: he still resents Aníbal for the way he was treated twenty-five years ago. But not only does he lie about his work, he plays dumb: Adriana may be working with a Catalán film-maker named Joan Constantín. Do you know him? Nope, never heard of him.
Carlos takes Vikki's hand and stands very close to her. [Too close, buster. The Patio folks at the Arriaga table don't like this guy one bit.] It has been so many years and yet he trembles in her presence just as he used to do. Does she feel the same? Vikki ducks the question. She thought he'd never forgive her for not having the courage to chose him over Nelson Brizz. [Listen honey, he never has forgiven you!]

Amores Verdaderos #134 Mon 5/20/13 Mother daughter reunion, Anyballs sets rules on Nil-Brains, Nil-Brains drops KenDrat as a bad apple, Angel wins round no. ?? on Nil-Brains
Frankie at airport ticket desk, mopes about losing Nikki 'para siempre'...
Vicky at her study, Angel comes in, her bags are ready. She will have Salsero take her to airport. Vicky says we will say goodbye here. Angel asks her to take care, won't be there to do it himself. Vicky says will miss you so much, will need you to feel safe. He says a part of his heart will be with her, she says ditto. They can barely look in each other's eyes. He kisses her hands and leaves... after he gets to hallway he lets go his tears and his smirks of pain. She stays crying her heart out inside, asking herself 'what am I going to do without you?'
Anyballs gets the DNA results. He barely gets to read that she is a true Balvanera when who comes toward him, but Lilli herself! he seems to have a bit of a stroke and she runs to care for him. (you must have the belly empty like my grandma says). She tells him she will try to convince her grandma to come live with her at the city. Anyballs says good idea, she should be near you. Lilli wonders if the sparks of Anyballs feelings for Cande are still there. Anyballs says 'as always, the love destiny of a man is in the hands of a woman'. He tells her she should take some gardening (orticultura) classes, she worries about the money, he offers to pay for it on her mother's memory. She was so nice. Lilli thanks him for his support. My dad is also studying online to complete his studies of agronomy. He says her dad has many 'sides'. Lilli says his best is fatherhood.
Angel and Frankie on phone, Angel sorry Frankie's trip did not turn out as he wanted. Frankie says it hurts bad, but now will set his sights on finalizing his divorce from Ambar. Angel says good idea. Frankie says 'my dad wanted me to fight for the woman i love, even gave me the tickets, all for nothing'.

Amores Verdaderos #133 Fri 5/17/13 Some Gotta Win, Some Gotta Lose, Everybody's Got The Blues
Betty Delivers the Bad News to Her Mama Pau
We start this epi with Betty showing Pau the results of her pregancy test, that the low one raped her and how she broke up with Santino. Pau is beyond words, in fact, she is very upset. She doesn't want Betty to break up with Santino. She didn't like him at first but now feels he is a good guy for her. Betty also tells her about the phone call from the low one and that he's watching her and if he catches her with Santino, she'll never see Guillo again. Pau is really upset now and wants to tell Frankie. No telling Frankie, Betty says. He is going to see Nikki in Miami this evening, don't ruin that and whatever the Pau does, she is not to tell Frankie. Pau promises, but she isn't liking it. She'd rather Frankie knew about all this cause when he finds out he'll be pithed. Betty says she'll tell him eventually but right now he deserves some happiness.
The Foyer of the Balvanera Manse, Where All Pertinent Bidness Takes Place
Adri and the Angel are talking about his new duties as her bodyguard. They won't be much and he'll have lots of free time. Ms Vikki joins them and even suggests to the Angel that he can take some agronomy classes on line and get his degree. Who would have thunk? He can even use the computer in her study if he wants to. Well, it's never to late for a degree, and hey he can ask Santino about taking some security classes this way too. Awesome! Adri is sad that Ms Vikki is leaving tomorrow and wants to know when her flight leaves. Of course, here comes the FF being his nosey self and butts into the convo wanting to know what is this about Ms Vikki leaving. Ms Vikki tells him she is going to Buenos Aires and FF turns to the Angel and says he's lucky to be going to such an interesting country, provided if he has ever been out of the country before. Ms Vikki snaps on the FF and tells him Angel isn't coming with her. He wants to know if she is going, gasp** alone? She tells him it's none of his bidness. Adri pipes up that Angel is her bodyguard now, and Ms Vikki tells him she is going with her amante. Cara de impactado de FF! Same with Angel for that matter. He didn't see that coming!

Weekend Discussion: Las Mascotas; Animals in Telenovelas
We don't get enough animals in telenovelas that are characters. We saw many prize bulls [Salud!] in Amor Bravio, horses in others, but rarely do these animals have names or enough screen time. Animals are such big parts of many of our lives it's hard to believe that more novela characters don't have pets. The mascotas in novelas, though, are often amusing and endearing.
In El Cuerpo del Deseo, the hero had a dog who was smart enough to spot his master after his spirit changed bodies (Dog may actually be star Mario Cimarro's dog):
Cuando Me Enamoro had a beautiful horse named Gitana that was much beloved by the heroine:

Amores Verdaderos #131 Wed 5/15/13 The course of true love never did run smooth … but come on, this is ridiculous!
Note: Balzac (heh heh) and the Snails have the night off.
The señora Victoria knows everything and now the Ferretti is out on her … er … ear. And there's something else Guzmancito needs to know: Kendra poisoned Nikki against him. JA details the dirty tricks, including GigoloGate. Now Frankie understands.
