Qué Bonito Amor #108 (Mex 146) Thursday 9/12/13 Que Largo Camino
Paloma isn't in the mood to go to PE. She gets Roddy reminiscing about his mom and he rightly points out that her mom at least has a chance to recover, while his mom is dead. Paloma responds to his "put your big girl pants" pep talk on. A classmate nags them to get to PE. Since the budget can no longer accommodate the actress who plays the teacher.
Susanito goes looking for Irasema, who's packing at her old apartment. He apologizes for being an idiot, but he doesn't realize yet he's apologizing for the wrong thing.
Amalia is a pessimist. I know, I know, what a shock. Justo tells her there's always a tomorrow. Good thought, Justo. Give her the hope of living for another day to complain about something different. Amalia says she misses Pedro. Just also misses Altagracia. He didn't expect for her to be gone from his life before the kids were. Justo says he and Amalia can share their solitude.
Santos caresses the wall and tells Don Nando and Michael that he'll get out, damnit!
Maria uses Colosso's cell to call Justo.
Who's busy asking Amalia why she never remarried. "You're still a hot babe. Trust me. I'm a guy. We know these things." Justo answers his phone and leaves the room without letting Amalia know who called.

Qué Bonito Amor #107 (Mex 145) Wednesday 9/11/13 Papers? I don’t need no stinkin’ papers! I got LOVE!
Santos is still trying to get out of the sewer as Maria,
Colosso and the truck driver (can't remember his name) are on their way. She flashes back to her one night of drowning
her sorrows in tequila w/Fernando . She
sings a great drinking song and Fernando accompanies her on his Magic Guitar
that also plays trumpets, percussion, and violins.

Qué Bonito Amor #106 (Mex 144) Tuesday 9/10/13 One Feared Dead in Daring Escape Attempt from L.A. Prison
Quote from I was the Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman.
“In all telenovela situations, the villain is the person who
thinks he knows the most but only cares about himself….and usually has an
appropriate punishment meted out as justice for the victims at the very end.”
Quote made up by Anita, applying telenovela law, as we close in toward the end of
QBA with some villains still on the loose.
Good evening, amigos, Anita here, reporting live from outside the
El-Lay Prision Estatal. This could be a United States Penitentiary, a maximum
security facility. There are three in
California—Atwater, Lompoc and Victorville.
But, it could also be a Federal Correctional Institution, for low or
medium security prisoners. There are six in California—Dublin (for women),
Herlong, Lompoc, Mendota, Terminal Island and Victorville (for women). Or, it could even be a facility for holding
pre-trial offenders. They are the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego
and the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. These are all operated by the Federal Bureau
of Prisons, a subsidiary of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Detention and Processing Centers run by ICE, a subdivision
of the Department of Homeland Security are vastly different. Currently, ICE detains immigrants in fifteen
detention centers nationwide (including privatized facilities), in state and
local jails, in juvenile detention centers, and in shelters. [Thank you
Wikipedia]
Your intrepid reporter for the El Lay Tiempos is here, early
Wednesday morning, on the grounds of the El Lay Prision Estatal waiting for a
spokesperson to emerge to give us details on this late-breaking news story of a
prison break by several extremely dangerous prisoners. We’ve heard rumors that
one is dead, maybe more, but at least one has been recaptured. Meanwhile we’ll fill you in with background
stories from the last couple of days of those involved.
If you want to go directly to the story of the break-out, it’s
on page A-15 (The Prison Break).
Although this takes place in El-Lay, it is a Dumb and
Dumber-free episode. We assume they are
on their honeymoon.

Qué Bonito Amor #105 (Mex 143) Monday 9/9/13 Love Among the Ruins
Lo
del Pasado
Santos thinks of Maria and the head shots, Maria and Susanito talk about his problem. Concho talks about Susanito [fortunately he doesn't know about this problem] and his forthcoming medical problem. Maria writes another letter. The guard talks to the warden. Mike goes
to see Santos in his cell and they argue (see Friday's entry). He's
losing his perspective in accusing Santos of caring only about Maria
and not about Justo and Wendy.
Lo de
Nuevo
Deserted
Street: Justo pulls up in his car to suspenseful music as
Giuliano lines up a shot with another hunting rifle.
Mexico
City, Street: Oscar takes a walk with Angelica. They're eating
ice cream as he talks and points out his Mariachera, the car, and
invites her for a ride. We see that she is wearing platform wedgies
[so the actress doesn't look too short next to Pablo Montero, who
still needs a shave].

Cap 142
• Nando nurses feverish Santos in the punishment cell; Irasema cries to her MIL, Mancia, about Susanito’s reasons for sending her back to her old apartment cuz he has a low sperm count and that’s why they had problems trying to have kids. (Ok. So, is she camping out with the Blue Haired Babes or what?) Mirna now has set her sights on Son Of Concho.

Qué Bonito Amor #103 (Mex 141) Thursday 9/5/13 Que Preocupantes Desplomos
As he's being escorted back to his cell, another inmate playing Celia Cruz's "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" makes him recall better (?) times back at Ay Jalisco with Lalo and Pichi…pues, being Lalo and Pichi-esque.
With her fingers crossed behind her back, Elvira swears she had nothing to do with Maria losing her baby.
Mirna gets evicted.
Fernando gets slapped by Ana for kissing her…then he does it again and gets shoved…so he gives up and leaves before she can chuck a pillow at him.
Maria gives Elvira permission to come back to the bar until Concho recovers. But she still doesn't trust that immoral skank. She just wanted to see how far Elvira would go.
Santos got mail in prison from Maria, but he doesn't want to accept it. He borrows the guard's pen to write something on the envelope and tells him to send it back. He actually had a pencil in his pocket, which he now proposes to use to draw Maria's face.

Que Bonito Amor Cap 140, 9-4-13: We were just looking at buildings for fun. That's what prisoners do.
Hola everyone! It appears I will be subbing again! This is a last minute thing, so keep your expectations low!
SCENES ARE CONDENSED AND NOT ALWAYS IN ORDER. PLEASE READ COMMENTS FOR OTHER RELEVANT DETAILS THAT I'LL PROBABLY MISS!
We have a refrito of yesterday, starting with the college teacher trying to convince Maria to get her degree pronto with sweetheart workshop/test deal (two weeks and she's got her diploma). Maria wants to blow it off to see JAntos; Wendy and her mom try to talk her out of it. JAntos and Michael meet up with a forgetful old prisoner geezer who is undoubtedly Fernando's dad, and JAntos and Michael are busted in the warden's office while looking for the prison blueprints online. (Don't even get me started on this.)
Amalia is having pains in her shoulder due to her illness. Wendy wants Amalia to tell Maria; Amalia doesn't want to worry Maria at this time. She asks Wendy to keep it a secret.

| When confronted by the guards, Michael, who apparently is a Golden Boy among the guards and warden, is able to explain away their presence there by saying they're looking up buildings 'for fun'. (Note JAntos's extremely shifty expression here.) The guards are skeptical but let them go. |

Qué Bonito Amor #101 (Mex 139) Tuesday 9/3/13 Say, you look familiar, and a new Godfather is in town
Que Bonito Amor Cap 139, 9-03-13—Say, you look familiar; and a new Godfather is in town
Hola everyone. I'm filling in tonight!
EVENTS MAY BE CONDENSED AND NOT LISTED IN STRICT ORDER, TO SAVE MY SANITY.
JAntos talks to the moon through the bars of his cell and says how it's been his and Maria's "accomplice" and wants the moon (???) to assist Maria in living her life happily "for the both of them," since his life is over and everything's turned to crap. But, he tells the moon, even though his life is crap, he will never stop loving Maria.
 |
| Talkin' to the moon while in prison. What else would a guy do? |
Meanwhile, Maria is mooning over JAntos (heh—see what I did there?) and Wendy comes over to apologize for being such a bitch, mentions that JAntos is such a sweet guy that he's forgiven her even though she turned her back on him, yadda yadda. Maria is very warm to her. She tells Wendy that even though she didn't get her travel visa that she'll find a way to see JAntos.
The Godfather got Orange Guiliano out of prison by lies and fake alibis and whatever, and Guilano is on his knees, grateful for it all. But the Godfather doesn't want to hear it, he wants to bump off Guiliano who has proven to be useless! He pulls out a gun . . . Uh oh!
Meanwhile, Derecho is pissed that the Godfather got Guiliano out, and is starting to suspect that Justo is right, and the Godfather is behind all of this. He and Curtis will pay the Godfather a visit.
Back with Orangie and the Godfather, they struggle for the gun and it goes off!
JAntos and Michael are talking about Wendy's baby and JAntos is grateful for Michael being willing to take on Wendy's kid. Darren (blue-eyed earring guy) comes in and informs them that Orangie got out of prison. Major impactado!
The Godfather is dead, long live the Godfather! Orangie takes the old Godfather's hat and puts it on, and looks insane as he proclaims that he's the Godfather now. And he vows to get JAntos! Crazy dude doing all of this while the old Godfather is assuming room temperature on the floor.
 |
| Let's hope that the old Godfather didn't have any head lice. On second thought, let's hope he did . . . |

Qué Bonito Amor #99 (Mex 137) Friday 8/30/13 Santos Gets His Wish
Cap# 137
In El Lay, Santos says his last Good-Bye to papi Justo,
he tells Michael and Darren he’d rather sacrifice his life than that of his
loved ones—but boy would he love to have at it with Guilliano! Darren says that can be arranged. The guards arrive a couple minutes later and
take Mikey and Santos to their new cell.
Yep they’re gonna be cell mates.
Horny old Ruben figures if he can’t have the one he wants he’ll love the
one he’s with (apologies to Sr. Sills).
La Trampira de Elvira is down with that.
They seal the deal with a glass of champagne—apparently E-e-e-e-vi-i-l-l-l-l-l,

Maria gives Amalia a shot. Amalia wonders how much more misfortune they can handle. She can't stop worrying about her daughters. Even Wendy doesn't think Maria is safe with Ruben on the loose.
Ruben's bleeding from a head wound and even that didn't burst his thought bubble of "Maria will be mine!"
Santos tells Michael that Etrusco came to visit him and threatened Maria.
Wendy decides to call her dad and tell him to get her the hell out of there. She's back to blaming Santos for this mess, but Amalia (!) and Maria defend him. Maria blames Wendy's dead boyfriend.
Santos tells Michael he's ready to sacrifice his life and spend it in jail to keep Maria safe. He waxes rhapsodic about how wonderful Maria is. He hopes she'll live for both of them now.
Amalia doesn't want to just wait around and see what's going to happen. She only half jokes that they sure could use a man around the place. As Maria rightly points out, they don't need no stinkin' man…they've got the Virgen! Plus Jorge Alfredo is in her heart.

Qué Bonito Amor #96 (Mex 134) Tuesday 8/27/13 Que Pasa?
Not sure if there was a mix up in who was to recap last night, but it's getting late. I'm sure you are all bursting with comments about all the action last night. Please feel free to unload here. If the recap appears, I'll delete this and paste any comments under the recap.
All I remember was that:
1) Maria was turned down at the visa office because the U.S. officials saw that she was a delinquente, arrested for harboring a known (?) criminal.
2) Santos is yanked from his cell and put in a darkened room and he's sure he's going to be tortured or killed, but it turns out that it's Michael and Big Guy who are there to greet him. The two "bros" fill each other in on everything that has gone on in their lives.
3) Lourdes and Don Concho don't know what to do about their errant daughter.
4) Maria gets prepared to face down Concho and heads there with Susanito (he has the documents that prove he truly is a biological descendent of Don Concepcion--aptly named, I would say).
4) Derecho has his medal snatched back because Don Justo threatens to sue the State of California for inept investigation and putting his son's safety at risk. [Thank you, Decie]
5) OJ makes a phone call threatening Don Justo's family (I think). The phone booth says, "Telephone" in yellow, so he must be stateside.
6) Don Justo meets with El Padrino and ElP wants to know where OJ called from (I think).
7) We have a truly unnecessary scene with Roddy giving Paloma the surprise of her life--a runaway horsie ride. Apparently, it all turns out alright, because they have a picnic.
8) Wendy is having a hard time adjusting to life in the barrio--in mid-shower, the water dries up, literally leaving her in a soapy shampoo dither. [Thank you Decie]

Susanito talks about making Concho pay for denying him. Concho rants about how weak Susanito is to his wife until Pinchi comes in to explain about Santos' arrest. Michael's prison informant tells him about the arrest and how Santos will be under heavy surveilance. Amalia and the girls and Wendy, yadda yadda yadda.
As
the police car goes off toward the airport Jorge Alfredo thinks of
Maria and better times while Maria removes things from his apartment
and remembers other great things [including something that was
censored out here, maldita sea]. We hear “Mexico Lindo y Querido”
through this.
Mendoza
Apartment: Maria gets home and sees Wendy. She makes a
(justified) sarcastic comment about her staying there. Paloma and
Roddy talk about Maria and her pain and how Paloma has feelings of
helplessness about it. Maria, meanwhile, takes her pain out on Wendy
for her past snobbery about poverty. Wendy tries to be conciliatory

Jalisquito screams about Fernando getting hauled off. The cops say he's being arrested for being Santos' accomplice.

Amalia can't keep her yap shut, at this sad moment for Justo she again "kindly" admonishes JAntos because he "promised" he'd take care of Maria.
Maria and JAntos are making lunch with a fish he caught. JAntos is apologetic for their predicament and Maria is reassuring him it's okay. He blames Orange Guiliano for their situation.
Justo and Amalia continuing to discuss the sad state of affairs; Amalia thinking that JAntos didn't really love Maria and Justo saying that we don't understand the power of love. Meanwhile, Maria and JAntos share a moment of contentment after their fish lunch.

Qué Bonito Amor #91 (Mex 129) Tuesday 8/20/13 New Season of Survivor: By the Waters of Babylon
This is Anita reporting in, a last minute substitution. Apparently CBS and UNI have collaborated for
a new season of Survivor. Stay tuned for
the first episode. This is the preview. Meanwhile, we have a
recap to cobble together from all the little snippets we saw. Bear with me, please. Here goes (quick and dirty and pretty much
from memory).
What you saw yesterday, I won’t dwell on mucho, so we can
get to the good stuff. Wendy and Justo
have their little father-daughter talk about her fear of OJ and fear for her defenseless
little unborn hijo. Justo mans up and
swears he’ll finish off OJ, no matter what the price (even though he just promised Wendy to dedicate his life to his nieto).
Next we see JAntos and Maria exiting the taxi by the side of
the road in a deserted, thickly wooded area.
As soon as the taxi departs, guess who drive up, OJ and his henchmen in
one car and the other full of the U.S.-Mexican Joint Task Force of Keystone Koppers. By this time Maria and JA have taken off full
speed ahead deep into the woods. (Please,
just tighten your beanies for the rest of this.) OJ goes first and
apparently knows exactly which way they went.
The USMJTFKK are next and they also know exactly where the two fugitive
lovers have gone, but don’t see or hear OJ.
Oh, dear. JAntos and
Maria have been trapped at the edge of a cliff overlooking some angry, churning water. OJ has them in his sights, The USMJTFKK
have them covered. Give UP, we’ve got
you. Maria and Jorge Alfredo look at
each other and then look down to see this rushing, swirling white water
and sure death. JA has time to expound
to Maria, “Let’s go where no one can judge us.”
With only our love. One, Two,
Three, JUMP. Rats, thinks OJ, he hopes they drown. Rats, think the Koppers, missed them by a
hair. Jorge Alfredo and Maria disappear
into their watery grave.
Hoy
(Some scenes are cut & pasted together as should have
been done in the editing room at Televisa and not on CarayCaray.)
At Amalia’s
She’s snuffling that her only reason to live is for her
daughters. Concho appears and gets
Amalia all riled up. Concho swears he’s worried about Maria How dare he even show his face after all the harm
he has caused them. He should be ashamed. Concho tries to reason with her that
it’s all in the past. Amalia hits him (just
figuratively) with the information that it was Elvira that murdered her
grandchild. Concho doesn’t believe
it. Who told her that, anyway? Amalia answers that it was Mirna.
At Lourdes’ &
Elvira’s
Concho is livid. He
confronts Elvira with what he learned about Maria’s accident. Elvira is in
denial.
Elivra—I didn’t push her. She fell.
Lourdes—Tell the truth now.
She wants to know who told Concho.
Concho—Mirna
Elvira stomps off blaming her parents for taking Mirna and
Maria’s side and never being there for her.
Lourdes admits to being at fault for raising her to be such a spoiled beyotch,
but Concho shares the blame as well.
They gave her everything she wanted, but they didn’t give her any values. Lourdes tries to make Concho see that they
have to be together in this situation and leave all the rancor behind.
At JNTR
Mirna is desperately looking for the “key” to her spoils of
war. She’s quite loud about it. She’s sure Pinchi or Lalo hid it somewhere
else. HaHa, you don’t know it, but the
two payasos are right within earshot and listening. They want to know what she’s looking for.
Maybe they ought to tell Concho and Amalia. (P.S.
I’m pretty sure she found the key.)
She tries to distract them by getting all sexy up in their faces. It
probably would have worked. We’ll never know.
Elvira shows up and tries to throw her out. Mirna doesn’t belong there
any more. HaHa, you don’t know it, but
Maria, who owns half the bar, remember, hired her back and Mirna’s on her side
now. Elvira is livid. (I guess it runs
in the family.) She takes it out on the poor barkeeps—Get back to work, idiots,
she screams.

Qué Bonito Amor #90 (Mex 128) Monday 8/19/13 The Great Escape
JNTR: Amalia bitchslaps Elvira over what she did to Maria. At her pretentious reaction, Amalia tells her that what goes around comes around. The cops head for the paso de gato. The explosion happens and a fire begins. Both Maria and Jorge
Alfredo are unconscious. Amalia panics and insists on going
upstairs. The Mexican cops start trying to force the door. Fernando
and Susanito go upstairs. Giuliano gloats as his two accomplices ask
for their pay. Rubén suggests that they all leave. The SWAT cops
don't allow them to leave the area. Susanito returns to tell the
other good folk that the explosion was in Maria's dressing room.
Amalia freaks, Elvira gloats in the corner, Rubén looks edgy.
Fernando yells through the door while trying to dislodge it with the
fire extinguisher. The flames grow. Meanwhile Elvira has the gall
to gloat at Amalia saying that there is always payback. Mirna is
about to go after her but is prevented from doing so. Remedios tells
Elvira off, however, saying that it is a pity that someone so pretty
could have a soul so black. Giuliano enters, gloating quietly, not
realizing that Justo and Wendy are behind him. Justo demands to know
what he is doing there. Amalia tries to comfort her younger daughters.
