PEAM #108-8/8/13-Uri Doesn't Go "U.P." As Per His Belt Buckle, He Goes Down, So Who Is Picadillo Now??
Refrito-
Malvino snatches Val and Elias tries to defend his home and
family. Uri proves to Jesus that
he has control of Val and he is not a liar. Jesus flips out upon hearing Val’s distressed voice. Jesus
tells Uri that he is a coward and picks on women and children, and tells Uri
let’s go one deep (one on one) and Uri starts bitch slapping Jesus. (We hear Alma and her dreaded
scream) Jesus keeps on beckoning
Uri telling him that he is not a man and lets fight without the gun. Jesus punches Uri once and Uri
asks for another with his gun and tells Jesus that he is going to die.

PEAM # 107-8/7/13: Danger! Danger! Everybody Could Die! Including Two Forty Year Old Virgins!
Recap By Pablo
Won't we all? But, what's the hurry?
Aída is probably breaking a promise but what the heck, Delia is nowhere to be found and Alma is more important than anything, so she calls her to warn her and tell her that Jesús and everybody he knows is in danger. If he doesn't comply to Uri's demands, there could be a huge pile of picadillo and a lot of people missing. You do the math.
Since Alma is already at Chatita's, and Elías is there too, she quickly shares the 411 she's got. Everybody panics and thinks about Valentina, who due to her age and size, could be in the most danger. We grown ups can deal with anything, but what about the little ones? Think about them, they're defenseless! Just to be on the safe side, Valentina will skip school tomorrow and before Elías leaves, Chatita gives him the long version of her famous blessing.
In another place but at the same time, Jesús promises himself that Uri won't be able to touch even a hair from any of the three women in his life, so Chatita, Alma and Valentina can rest assured that nothing will happen to them as long as Jesús can stand up for them. He leaves Orión and rides a beautiful new car to be inconspicuous, but that is still more strange, and since Malvino and Sixto are watching him, they proceed to follow Uri's instructions.
Jesús, who is smarter than cute, quickly finds out he is being followed and tries to get rid of one of the many dumb couples that populate Monterrey. And when I say that I am not exaggerating, because they come by twos and I have seen them working as security guards at Avon, as accountants, etc.

PEAM, Tuesday 8/6/13 (#106): Mouse Chase
Hey amiggies, I just got home from Six Flags and boy is my neck tired. We stayed a LOT later than I expected and I haven't even seen the episode yet and there is a good chance I won't be able to stay awake through the whole thing. (Also, my Internet connection appears to be constipated.)
BUT... commenters save the day! (Again)

PEAM #105 08/05 - Delia Where Are You? We Need to Be Rescued from This Stupid Yuri Plot NOW!!
We have wind and rain pelting down again so I will post this header in case I can't post the recap right away. I will keep trying so talk among yourselves for a couple of hours. Never mind, the storm cell passed quickly this time so we are back on track. Here is tonight's offering:
Refrito - Alma questions Jesús' sudden cold change of attitude. Viewerville questions why we have to put up with obnoxious Yuri through yet another episode with this stupid plot device, that our hero Jesús has become an avocado-less wuss. Alma gets herself kicked out of Orion by Agosto's orders. Yuri who inexplicably has the intelligence to have wired Jesús for sound chuckles in the back of his car as Alma screams at Jesús. Jesús sheds unmanly tears for what may happen to his Alma and Valentina.
Alma tries to get information out of Aida who says she is only the secretary. She hasn't a clue either but recounts how Jesús has yelled at her unpleasantly already which he would never have done before. Patymelted shows up and feigns surprise that Alma has tracked Jesús down to Orion. Yuri and his confederacy of dunces look on from the car not wanting an alliance of any kind to form between Alma and Aida.
Back at Avon, Mari counsels her AARPStud Papi that he should stop playing up to Susana and remember how much he owes to sweet Chatita. He claims indecision is driving him to toy with both lady's affections.

PEAM #104-8/2/13: What Time Is It? Time For Chucho to Grow Some Avocadoes!
Hola Manda Peeps. This recap will not be in order and I have combined some scenes to make the recap easier to read. Thanks to Julie, for "What Time Is It".
We get the bit of refried with Malvino calling Yuri and letting him know that Chucho is at Orion, seems they have wired Chucho for sound, as in his cell, computer, etc., and Yuri wants Malvino to keep a close eye/ear on Chucho. Xochi is dancing to her desk, while Susana and Mari are wondering why, oh, why is she doing that? Alma comes into work and is really sad thinking about Chucho not being at Avon anymore. Augusto is very happy Chucho made his choice to come to Orion. Alma continues to think about Chucho and goes to her office and cries. Augusto shows Chucho his new office and Aida comes in. She is very happy to be working with Chucho again. Chucho is not only the new V.P. but he gets the latest model car! Chucho is given his contract to sign and he does. Alma doesn't know why Chucho left Avon, and she cries some more. Since Chucho looks like Deputy Dawg on a bad day, Augusto asks him if he is ok. Oh, he is honkey dorey and Augusto welcomes Chucho to Orion. Hug and handshake. Aida asks Chucho if he is ok. He is. Chucho thinks of Alma and asks her to forgive him. Split screen and both are very unhappy! I just got one question? Chucho where oh where are your avocadoes?
It's lunchtime at Avon and Mari and Jess are knoshing together. They talk about Rico Sauve(Ricardo) and how Suave he is and Mari works with him too, well I gotta say, they all work and play together, don't they? Well, there is Elias too, but he's still married. What to do, What to do?
Ferny comes into work and has a little something, something for Xochi. She wants to know what and guess what it is? Anyone? That's right, diamonds are a girl's best friend, as in earrings that is. She is so exicted she is squeeing and Mari and Susana are wondering what is going on now! He also invites her over to his place this evening but she's a little unsure bout that.

PEAM #103-8/1/13- Picadillo Means To Distance Yourself From The Ones That You Love and Paty Tells The Whole Truth
We start out with the lying skank Paty begging outside of
Alma’s apartment door for another chance. As Pablo would say-juarever!! Alma lets Paty in and gives her a
second chance. (Eye rolling time for me)
Xochy and Ferny are enjoying their date and talking about
how Xochy doesn’t drink and that Ferny doesn’t have any friends, no one to
confide in except for Jesus. They
toast for friendship, break their glasses and share a laugh.
Elias is putting Val to bed and she asks if Alma if the
Queen and the Helper will live happily ever after (and the handwriting is on
the wall) She wants to know if Alma is going to be her stepmother and when will
she marry her dad. Alma has
to take of things because she is still married to the Mean Prince. Nothing gets
by Val. Nitey, night!!!
Jesus arrives at Uri’s room and thought bubbles to Uri’s
warnings about the people that he loves, Alma, Chatita and Val. He better not tell
Officer Delia or someone may get hurt, possibly all three. Malvino lets him.
New Business
Alma pours Paty’s favorite drink and Paty is touched that
Alma remembers. Paty tells Alma that she is happy for her being with Jesus and
she always knew that they were meant for each other. Jesus’ love helped her get through the suffering as a result
of Paty deceiving her. A humbled
Paty agreed. (At this point I have to eat some crow because Paty is being
truthful.) Alma realized that she
didn’t really love Rogelio and Jesus arrived at the right time in her life. Indirectly
Paty helped Alma and Jesus to get together but Paty had selfish reasons for
wanting Alma with Jesus. Alma asks Paty if Rogue has changed in
the way that he values, treats and handles her. She lets Alma know that Rogue is seeing Vero, The Ice
Princess.

PEAM #102-7/31/13: Extra! Extra! Desperate Widows Fighting Over Cricket-Face Man
Recap By Pablo
80 more to go!
''You are a lot more than you think you are''
Xóchitl's honesty hurt Julio in the deepest part of his heart. She doesn't love him. Jesús is drinking coffee with him and trying to make him feel better but Julio is afraid he will end up alone as a zombie, living without will and just walking around with no direction. Of course Jesús is right, Julio deserves a woman who loves him, but right now Julio doesn't see with clarity. The pain is just unbearable. Will you still not love me tomorrow?
''Take care Alma, your work is flawless and nothing bad should happen to you''
Alma, the only one who actually works at Avon, except when she is pissed off running away to CanCún with a heartache leaving traceable hints to be tracked down, presents to Rogelio with some reports, sales and representatives reports, budget, inventory and campaigns. Sounds impressive, so Rogelio slips and almost loses his cover telling her to be careful because some danger is pending over her head. The lawyer coughs and Rogelio stops but he has already said too much. One more mistake like that and the whole company will know that he is related to Uri Petrovsky in the dirty business area. That is not good.

PEAM, Tuesday 7/30/13 (#101): Like Sands Through the Hourglass
Like sands through the hourglass. That's what it was like watching my recorder rescan all of the channels because Comcast, my esteemed and beneficent service provider, chose (in their infinitely mysterious wisdom) to reassign all the channel numbers sometime last night. By the time the rescan was complete AND I was able to find Univision (it's on 15-5 as of today, for the record), we were a good 40 to 45 minutes into the episode and I couldn't get the recorder going until it was just about done. But I'm gonna make the most of what little I saw and take a guess at the rest. The rest of you, please feel free to note what I missed, because I KNOW I missed plenty!
BONUS! See comments below from Tablet Jefa et al to fill in the missing pieces!
In Fernando's office, Xochi and Fernando console one another and bond tearfully over their bully-laden pasts.

PEAM #100 - 07/29/13 - Super Charged? or Super Silly?
We look forward to the sweets that Alma has prepared for Jesús and the silliness to follow with Yuri, et.al.
Refrito: Pati does search about her dates and data of impregnation,
Elias and Vero argue, about the car, the child, the divorce, what else is new.
Pati and Cantú exchange fake pleasantries. Julio and Cardenas argue about his comportment regarding his BOSS Fernando resulting in the depressed Julio leaving in a huff of humiliation. Jesica can't believe that the fight is over Xochi and not her! She questions, "Fernando, what does he see in the glassy eyed one??"
Alma and Valentina and Jesus arrive and Valentina calls her AMIGA she also compares Alma to the princess of Valentina's story with her Papi Jesús and when Rogelio arrives just in time to see Alma and Jesús kissing, Valentina calls him a gruñion (yep, you guessed it, GRUMPY) and Rogelio takes over the scene with his return to total power which no one can deny. Fernando and Xochi discuss and shyly flirt in his office. All the new and old secretaries are in line to greet the returning Jefe.
In Fernando's office the brothers do a jumping, screaming silly routine. All of a sudden, Rogelio gets serious and wonders why Jesus isn't dead yet. All he wants is HIS Alma back.

PEAM #99-7/26/13: Is This Love That I'm Feeling, Is This Love That I've Been Searching For?
Hola PEAM Peeps! This recap will not be in order and some scenes have been combined for a better flowing recap.
We got a lot of refrito last night, you know the Vero/Rogue planning, Chucho and Alma talking about Rogue and how Chucho isn't buying what Rogue is selling, Chatita in her best fighting stance, telling Panfilo since he is the AARP babe magnet (Thanks TJ) he has to make a choice, it's either her or Susanna, make a pick already Dude! Also the Cantu cutting off Rogue's monitoring device and Alma telling Chucho about her Snappy Pappy running off to the States and the Patymelt betrayal and then smoochies! The only one working at Avon is Cardenas (Cardy). Oh, and after Chatita makes that demand of Panfilo, she loses her train of thought then kinda remembers and tells Panfilo to make that decsion and she goes.
The Elevator Klatch:
Ivonne is at least kinda, sorta working, when two of her friends come by. Ivonne it seems is no longer performing for the desiring public, nah, for the public and she is only performing for one person, Ya don't say! Here comes Cardy and the two other sillies and Julio isn't happy and neither is Ricardo when he sees Elias come off the elevator about two seconds later. Cardy gives Ivonne what for, Ricardo follows Elias, and Julio goes his way, past Xochi and he totally ignores her. Ricardo has followed Elias, who stops by to see Mari, who asks after Val and gives Elias a hug, they get interrrupted by Ricardo, who wants a word with Elias, and Mari freaks, with me so far? Elias and Ricardo go off and Ricardo wants to know if Elias is into Mari? Of course he is, well Ricardo isn't happy and says well we'll fight for her and may the best man win, hmmmmm........ Elias goes. Cardy wants to talk to Alma and Ferny wants to talk to Encanto so Cardy goes to see Alma and Chucho goes to Ferny' s office.
Office Talk:
Cardy talks to Alma about Julio and Xochi being on the outs and Begonia leaving Don Gil, who is all alone, pobrecito! Ferny is a mite confused. He wants to be a friend to Chucho, sorta like Elias is with Chucho. Well Ferny has something he is dying to tell Chucho, so tell it Ferny! Seems he kissed a girl and he liked it, well he kissed Xochi! Que, Que What from Chucho! Chucho wants to know if Ferny knows the difference between 'Tasha and Xochi, of course Ferny does. Well then there isn't anything wrong with that from Chucho as long as Ferny realizes that 'Tasha is Xochi! Later, Chucho wants to surprise Chatita with something and Alma will help him, as she always does. Chucho and Alma also talk about the position at Orion that Augusto talked to Chucho about. Alma and Chucho leave Avon to take care of that surprise. After that little confrontation with Ricardo, Elias comes by to talk to Mari about that Avon DVD and he tells Mari what happened with Ricardo and that yes, Elias is into Mari. She is sooooo happy, which begs the question, what time is it? Time for Rico Suave (Ricardo) to find someone else!

PEAM # 98-7/25/13- I Didn't Mean To Turn You On
Good evening all, it's been awhile :-)
We begin with the almost fatal erotic dance and disrobing
for Gilberto by Ivonne. Ivonne thinks
that he is fooling around at first and realizes that he may be dead.
Jesus tells Val that if she feels sick she can stay home and
he will be stuck to her like glue.
She lets him know that she has already missed school. (What a responsible student!!!) She tells him that he has to go
to work. They prayed to his namesake to thank him for being saved and for
having a mom and two dads and she also prayed for all of the children in the
world. (What a sweetheart!!) Papa
Jesus is her/our hero. She is his
life.
Ivonne gives Gil mouth to mouth. I think that is what brought him back.
Jesus is reading How to Be a Father, while Val has a
nightmare about her kidnapping and the fire. Papa Jesus is right there to protect her. (It’s interesting
that she preferred to be with Jesus, rather that the Ice Queen- her mother
after such a traumatic incident)

PEAM #97-7/24/13: 'Inga We!............And Double Green With Yellow!!!!!!!
Recap By Pablo
It's not a surprise that at Avon,
nobody ever gets anything done!
If make up and the false illusion of never aging is not a good business for Avon, they can always clone DVDs! At least that is something they can do very fast while talking!
Marisela is never happy and complaints that Ricardo wanted to woo her with some borrowed quotes. But I am sure that if Elías was the one saying them, she would fall to his feet as little as she is. Women! Too difficult to live with, too difficult to live without! Jéssica pretends she is paying attention and the DVD cloning chain keeps moving. The usual background people pretend they are discussing important changes to the catalog and Xóchitl pretends she is touching up a spreadsheet on the computer. Doña Susana places the discs in the plastic sleeves being careful not to touch the written side to not smudge it and ruin it.
And suddenly, Licenciado Fernando makes an entrance, still upset after discovering that his beloved Natasha, beautiful and mysterious, is the same ugly duckling he has always made fun of: Xóchitl. And now he won't speak to her, he is that upset. He greets all of the secretaries except her.
In his mansion, Rogelio, half asleep, feels like Sansón is licking him under the covers only to find out it was Patricia and out of the blue he asks her if she is using the femdom. Me? protection? Of course dahling! Secretly she ''makes little monkeys'' because she is actually lying, and she needs to sound like she is really not trying to get pregnant.

PEAM, Tuesday 7/23/13 (#96): The Tell-Tale Wristlock
Marta wants to tell Valentina the story of Hansel and Gretel, because if there's anything a kidnapped child needs to hear as she's drifting off to dreamland, it's a story about a man who abandons his children in the forest, and a woman who eats children. Valentina doesn't seem enthusiastic; but if Marta can't tell the difference between Valentina and a child who doesn't exist, maybe it's not fair to expect her to be able to read Val's emotions. I mean, it's not as though she's a behavioral health care professional or anything.
Oh. Right.

PEAM #95 - July 22 Monday - Silence is Golden, Duct Tape is Silver: Kidnapping Isn't Ever Nice
Nuestra Amiga, Judy B sent me a message that she was enjoying my latest horsey postings on FB and suggested I share some of it here with you since you might not all see it on FB. Top are two mustang stallions on top of Pryor Mtn, Montana (first seen here now!) Middle is very new foal in the lupin also on Pryor and bottom is a Peruvian Paso stallion in northern New Mexico.
Opening refrito: Rogelio escapes? Fernando works? Nooooooo…..
Yuri chides Rogelio for not being able to leave his house. It is because of the ineptitude of Cantú reveals Rogelio. The two galans continue planning to turn Jesús into Picalilli sauce.
Mad Marta grabs Valentina, with ineffectual resistance by the little friend who is smacked against the wall and Jesús's rescue attempts and one lost balloon bunch, Marta roars off swearing that they are not going to take her daughter Jimena from her. Val's friend feels bad that he couldn't stop Marta but Chatita feeds him bread and swabs his head booboos.
Elias and Vero fight over their stuff, marriage, stuff, daughter, yaddah yaddah and Elias finally reveals that he is not so sure he still loves Vero. She is cosmetic bag gobsmacked!
Jesica and Xochi argue over Fernando's obsession with Natashia and Jess threatens to tell Fernando the truth but Xochi wisely says that may be best, go ahead.

Porque el Amor Manda #94: There Are None So Blind as Those Who Collide With Statues
By Blue Lass
Typical family day at the Ice Palace: Eli is spending quality time with Valentina; Vero is spending quality time with her makeup bag. As Vero sweeps out, Vale tells her about their excellent adventure! They visited a hovel! Five minutes of friqueando and picking through Vale's hair for lice, then Vero's in the wind. Meanwhile, Marta is in the bushes. She looks like she got into Vero's makeup bag.
Vero arrives at Rogue's and finds Paty on the landing. Lest we miss the underlying drama there, special effects splits the screen and rings a boxing bell. Veronica makes snide clasista remarks down her nose, while Paty paints a word picture of Jesus and Alma in Cancun – she's figuring Chucho is “UF-RE-UF” in the sack. The mutual needling quickly turns into a nerdy little girlfight. They both make better fists than Alma, but Vero's clearly afraid to touch anything with hers. (My money would be on Patycakes if I thought anyone would actually bet against me -- but Xochi could take both of them.)
Rogue opens the door and invites both gals in. He may not have a preference, but Sanson clearly does – he lets Paty sail right up the stairs and into the bedroom, but Vero gets the special bulldog unwelcome. She says she wants to talk strategy, but she really doesn't have any new ideas. Rogue does, though – he says he knows how to serve Vero up to Jesus on a silver platter, whatever that means. The way this show is going, it could mean on an actual silver platter, surrounded by tamales. Pre-sanitized, of course.
Cut to Marta at home, talking to a child-sized doll about how much she loves her little Jimena-boots. Either the doll or the inside of Marta's head has a really creepy child-sized giggle.

PEAM #93-7/17/13: Not Even Uri Could Have Spoiled Those Two Nights Of Passion!
Recap By Pablo
Read more »
Somewhere around 3:15 pm (mid afternoon coffee time), at Avon, Xóchitl was talking to Jéssica.
-Now, if you allow me to tell you... started Xóchitl while a very upset Jéssica interrupted her to start to imitate Quico while threatening to go to the night club and give Natasha a lesson in ''Only one reason why you don't steal anybody's love interests''. -I will go up on the stage and drag her down beating her to a pulp!- said the gorgeous brunette.
What Jéssica doesn't know is that Natasha has the whole Karate Kid movie collection (and too much time on her hands) and she knows how to defend herself, so, I would go very carefully near her...
Somewhere around 3:30 pm Elías went to pick up Valentina from school and saw Marta Ferrer, or Dr Loca, as we know her in the Caray community, so he immediately told the teacher not to let her get too close to the girl. The hamster in her brain doesn't spin the wheel and she is dangerous.
Somewhere around 3:45 pm, Uri gets a priceless gift. His freedom! Thanks to some maneuvers and money from Rogelio (who is always crying because he is almost broke), he is now free and he is furious! Although he swears he will never look for Jesús and/or touch him with a rose petal, much less hurt him, I am sure he will try, at least not on the face, but right there where we can not see...

PEAM, Tuesday 7/16/13 (#92): I Was Told There Would Be Pancakes.
In the avances for tonight's show, I saw Yuri stab some pancakes with a fork. I was very worried about those pancakes. I thought about them all day long. But tonight, I saw no pancakes. I watched twice.
But we don't talk about food here as if that's the only thing on our minds. We're trying to prove that we're different; we're not like those other people who show up for a recap with a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine but in the back of their minds are just thinking "chilaquiles... mole poblano... pozole..." like cavemen. Or animals. We want to distinguish ourselves as the sort of people who are above such things. Or at least the sort of people who can temporarily pretend to be above such things.

PEAM # 91 - July 15,2013 - Not Sex but Plenty of Lies and at Least One Video Tape
Caballo de madera por Agustín Cruz Prudencio de San Agustín de las Juntas, Oaxaca, Mexico
After so long away, I may be somewhat confused but not any more than the characters I see. Feel free to chime in with corrections and clarifications. I can only concentrate on the well fitted shirt that Jesús is straining to its very fiber… oops… back to the plot.
After an interminable delay (how many episodes?) Jesús is about to face Alma at the door of her suite where she is pouting, planning, whimpering… in beautiful Cancun. And we get that famous "Que Hace Aquí" phrase from Alma. He confesses that Chatita, Patricia and her Papa all knew where she was so big secret!
Chatita yells for Panfilo when Mari comes in to him and is friendly with her Papa then Chatita enters handing the paper over to Panfilo who seems to be having a stroke or loss of sight with hallucinatory medical film strips. Are his eyes worse than the memory losses that Chatita is having? The perfect couple, they are at least kind with each other.
Another perfect couple, Sebastian and Susana discuss that Alma has run him out of the house so he can't remain calm without upset as Susana advises.

PEAM #90- Elbow Loves and Silk Stalkings
First, a nice refrito of Jesus patting himself down thoroughly in
search of his missing phone, in just the way that I know all you girls…never
mind. Onward!
Jesus gets the skinny from the babbling Avonites about the flight
to Cancun. Time is of the essence, so naturally he proceeds to have several
conversations: engaging Doña Su for bastard-sitting and Elias for
princess-sitting, chatting with Vale, and then talking with Seb about
fatherhood and daughterhood. Good thing nothing’s on fire. Okay, now he really
has to run. He grabs a photo of Alma on the way out to use as a visual aid.
Alma lands in Cancun completely drained -- not even enough energy for one little noogiefist! She sinks into a chair at the cabstand with all the expression of a lawn ornament. (Well, I wanted her to stop acting.) Using symbolic telenovela language, she communicates that she’s really mad at the Chooch-man by taking off the ugly bracelet -- but she communicates that she’ll forgive him eventually by not throwing it away.

Jesus arrives at the airport with his purloined photo and his
tight jeans and his sincere look and gives the (female) ticket agent and the
rest of the (female) travelers in line an impassioned speech about his guardian
angel and his love for her. (Not sure why he waxes rhapsodic about Alma’s
beautiful blue eyes, when on the doll – and more important, in all the Reina y
Ayudante cartoons – she has green eyes. Beanie, beanie, who’s got the beanie?)
Anyway, his no-surprise-prize on Mexican Idol is the last seat on the last
flight out to Cancun. The ladies all clap and exhort him to run-run-run.
Vero invites herself over to Casa Rogue to talk strategy. Rogue
and Vero should swap jackets. She’d look much better in the pink job, and that
blackish floofy thing she’s wearing kind of matches his hair. Rogue wants to
know what Jesus has that he doesn’t, and Vero gives him a cataloged list: he’s
kind, generous, honest, sincere, authentic, trustworthy, and he’s got wicked
nice arms. You have to wonder why, if Veronica values all these virtues so
highly, she has made absolutely no effort to cultivate them in herself. She’s
right about the arms, though. They agree to collaborate on dirty deeds to be
named later.
Alma checks into her hotel, where she gets her very own personal
hostess, who gives her another ugly bracelet and some hand-frothed tree spinach
juice. I guess when Vero got all real & meaty, she donated her collection
of weird green drinks to the poor impoverished Mayan hotel-owners. Apparently
this particular cocktail makes you thought-bubble -- but only about bad things.
And then you want to…ACT. Someone stop her!
Jess shimmies up to Fernando and tries to talk him into a date,
but he has a previous harassment. She persuades an unhappy but susceptible
Cardenas to follow Fer to the nightclub. Poor little guy. What does he see in
her that none of the rest of us can see? I for one am getting tired of all the
flouncing and pouting. She acts like she’s two years old and someone just
turned off the Teletubbies.
Back in the dressing room, it’s gloves-on, and Julio can’t
restrain himself – he sweeps Xochi into a big ol’ backward-dipping kiss that
knocks her glasses askew. This time she doesn’t look altogether displeased. But
the show must go on – Julio introduces Natasha, and an enraptured Fer does the
beings-of-light dance to the same old song. When Desencanto hotly pursues a
giggling Xochi back to the dressing room, she tells Julio to keep him out, but
when he knocks, she invites him in! Makeover…or bipolar? You decide.
Finale: Through diligence and subterfuge, Jesus finally locates
Alma and knocks on her door. She makes the box-mouth.
In other news: Chatita gets dizzy, Don Gil just wants to get
drunk, and Sanson definitely does NOT like Veronica.

PEAM #89- 7/11/13- I Can't Take It Anymore So I'm Off To Cancun (It must be nice!!)
We begin with a furious Alma banging on Paty the back
stabber’s door, Rogelio calls and she tells him to go to hell!!! Rogue calls
Paty screaming about Paty sending the video to Alma and Alma sending him to hell.
Paty plays stupid and then scolds Rogue. Rogue threatens Paty. He asks who is the male voice. It’s her boy toy, the photographer. Jesus
feels a little uneasy about Val and Xochy distracts him by sharing her secret
about singing in a bar and being Natasha and Ferny is in love with her. Paty
and her boy toy walks up to Alma and greets her friend as if nothing and gets
pimp slapped by Alma.
Paty tries to lie her way out and calm Alma down. She sends her boy toy on her way and
confronts Alma. Unbelievable, Paty
is still lying and Alma tells her that her father told her everything. The liar
is quiet. (It’s funny how Paty asks who told you and she always finds out who
snitched on her.) Alma lets her
know that if she doesn’t tell her the truth she is going to know the other
stupid Alma, not the one who she backstabbed.
Xochy and Jesus share a laugh and Ferny interrupts. Ferny
asks Xochy why doesn’t she wear makeup.
She jokes about being ugly. Xochy asks if Ferny plans on going to see
Natasha tonight. He notes the
change in Xochy’s behavior. She is
not as timid as before. Ferny is
looking for Alma, who is not in the office.
Alma wants the truth.
Paty’s friendship was more important than Rogue. Paty throws it back to Alma and says
that she never said that she was in love with Rogue. Alma remembers the boyfriend that mistreated Paty was in
essence, Rogue. Alma wants to know why she backstabbed her and she tells Alma
that she loves Rogue.
