Amar a Muerte, 11/12/18, Episode 10: Leonchi Has a Very Bad Start to the Day

Some scenes have been combined to take up less space.

*Leonchi is still in his Secret Man Cave Home Monitoring System Headquarters forcing himself to watch as his loving widow and substitute son nearly get it on in the study. It’s obvious to him this is not a first flirtation. Johny has his hands all over Luciho’s body and she’s letting him explore. Hands to head, Leonchi screams in disbelief and anger. Frau Security comes running, but nothing seems to be disturbing the household’s back hallway. (And he’s head of security and doesn’t know about the Operation Watch Centre in the basement?) Meanwhile, the 4-handed game in the study is over and the two leave for family breakfast together time.

*It seems Guille is also having a bad start to the day. He tries to find out about the shooting he “witnessed” last night. Nothing in the media. He skips the family breakfast to go check out the liquor store. He calls Tonio the Shooter (whom I though was just a bar pickup, but he’s got his number), who is cool with what went down—it’s food on the table for him. Guille sees the store is closed and assumes the worst.

Amar a Muerte, 11/9/18, Episode 9: One Shocking Revelation

Parte 1 of 3....

It seems to be Don Leon's lot in the Afterlife, now transmigrated into the body of an electrocuted criminal, to be witness to one "shocking" revelation after the other.  And so it goes.....

At the grave site of Don Leon, the groundskeeper notes to his co-worker how day after day he rakes up the leaves and dead floral and yet there's always a new pile of it leading up to the man's grave like Death's pathway for the spirits; he's certain Don Leon's is somewhere else right now and not where it was left to linger.  (Or so I think.)

Meanwhile, as El Alacrán and Eva are enjoying their moments of illicit lust-making (and Viewerville closes its eyes in disgust) Lupita and Juliana use Panchito's one-way pass to finagle a tight little storeroom in a house that's at least hidden behind a solid gated wall to stay in.

At the same time up town, Guillermo corners Renata, his secretary, in the break area to give him her true first (and thus lasting) impressions of him as a boss.  Does he want the CMA version or the truth, she inquires.  The truth, of course.  She blasts him straight between the eyes: "Rich people to me are always pompous, self-important, self-centered, conceited individuals who arrogantly order around others.  And, you are that."   He leaves the table to nurse his bruised and bleeding ego...somewhere else.

Somewhere in mid-town, it seems that Beltran, aka El Chino, is waiting to see the/his fortune teller.  There's a long line today.

And, Dr. Guerra, knocks on the door of the widow of the only other transmigratory occurrence he can track down.

Guil is at work and completely ignores Renata. When she goes into his office to MAKE him notice her he tells her she was right...those were the best tamales.

Alicia is trying to get Beltrino off to work and tells him to hurry. He doesn't wnat to go and definitely doesn't want to wear a tie. She reminds him he can't just leave work because of their son.

Inspector asks about a case then asks for tortas.

The head of security at the Carvajal house, Frau, continues talking to LeonChi about the driver job. Frau checks on Leon's credentials then asks if he isn’t sure they don't know each other. They talk about Leon. Frau feels bad about not protecting him. They agree that if he (Jac) does something wrong in this job, he is out.

Amar A Muerte Needs Recappers!!!

Hi all!  I am coming late to this party that Rgv Chick is heading up.  She's started some recapping rundowns Mon. and Thurs. and is doing yeoman's work.  I will be recapping Friday's beginning next week.  We're only 4 episodios in.  At this point a binge marathon would get most of you up to date within an afternoon or evening if you were unaware of this little gem. Let Rgv/Mappamundi/Anita know.  It's got a great cast led by Angelique Boyer and some familiar new hunks like El Falco's Michel Brown, Alejandro Nones, and familiars like Alexis Ayala, Arturo Barba and Macarena Achaga. It's a LemonStudios production ( La Piloto1 and 2) from Televisa for Uni.  I do believe the theme/main storyline is unique for Looney and Telerisa: transmigration of souls into others' bodies at the moment of death--think musical souls instead of musical chairs--not to mention a death by electric chair carried out in the U.S. in only 90 days.

So.....CU there, amig@s
