Amores con Trampa #94 Aug 7, 2015 And Porfirio's secret is finally out! (yikes!!) and Maria and Florencio save the day for Facu... even if he does not like it
Estefi runs
to Facu, is very nervous about them leaving. What if you stay behind? (she even
makes him fall and of course she drops right on top of him
Perpetua
brings Porfirio some eggs…he is glad she came, he wants to talk to her about
something important. Something you and I lived before… about MY WIFE and YOUR
HUSBAND many many years ago! (whoa!! Stop
the presses!! Did he say what he just said??)
Perpetua does not want to talk about the past… he says no use trying to
cover the past… it will come to the surface any moment now… he wants the family
to know the truth, the whole truth… She is so against it she just walks away on
him. He tells himself that he does not
know what will happen with the family but that secret will come out sooner or
later.
Facu gets
Estefi off him. She feels bad, she feels like they are her family. She would even go with him (I mean, with ALL
of you! … to the end of the world)… you
all are my family!
Beto
talks with Maria and Jacinto. Maria says maybe we don’t have to leave. I
have an idea, but I need you (Beto) to help me with it!
Facu looks
for Maria all over the house, but he can’t find them. Perpetua tells him Maria
and Beto left a while ago. They only said that they had to do some errands
related to the store… Facu had thought she would go with him to the signing of
the documents about the company.
Perpetua asks him if he is sure he wants to just turn the company over
to that crappy guy Velasco. Facu says it’s
a done deal. Porfirio asks where his
Concha is… She went to the market, and he says too bad I did not know, would
have gone with her to eat a campechada…
Facu and Perpetua joke and laugh about Porfirio ALWAYS thinking of food.
On his way
out Facu meets the Italian lady who turns out to be Isa’s mom. She flirts with him a bit too. She casually
demands him to give her some of his time and attention. She even invites him to
go to dinner at some restaurant she knows… later. She will wait for him with open arms… eh…
open stomach. Facu says better wait
for me while sitting down… (LOL!)
Santee and
Isa are already at the company. They are
basically thinking it’s a done deal. Isa
greets the receptionist. Felipe comes
and is surprised Isa is there. Isa came
to accompany Santee to celebrate the beginning of their new life. Facu arrives.
Feli says we are ready, Esteban is finishing up the papers. Esteban
comes out saying it is all ready. They all
go into Facu’s office… Santee and Isa trail them a bit to do a celebratory
march into the office… they basically wrestle each other to go in the office
door first.
Esteban
gives the papers to Facu. Facu signs
reluctantly after Esteban gives him one last warning to read what he is signing
so there are no misunderstandings later.
In run Beto and Maria… Don’t sign!!!! (reminds me of a scene in The
Goonies movie). Maria asks if he signed. Yup.
Maria grabs the papers and rips them to pieces. She announces to Isa
that she won’t let them make a fool of him again. Santee gets angry, they have no money to finish
the product/work… Beto announces they have a new investor who will put as much
money as they need. Santee is in
disbelief… WHO?? (Florencio makes his
entrance) YO!!!
Amores con trampa #90 and #91 Monday 8/3/15 & Tuesday 8/4/15
Right to the new!
I did combine some scenes.
Francis jumps into Diego’s car without an invitation...and refuses to leave. It seems she took a picture of an extra special page in Carmen’s diary. It describes Carmen’s perfect date. Francis thinks this is how Diego can win Carmen’s affections. ¡Ay de mí! I don’t trust her! Don’t listen Diego. But what if it’s legit info? You could still win Carmen’s affections! But is that fair to Feli? Please stop messing with my head, show! Diego does wonder if it’s really a page from Carmen’s diary. Francis thinks he should be able to recognize his beloved’s handwriting. She leaves the page with him and encourages him to read it and take advantage.
Amores con Trampa #89 Never mind an Eye for an Eye... a Lie for a Lie...will whoever is NOT LYING to anyone step forward??
Ok I was able to run this recap through before heading to church to help out. Here it goes...
Facu starts shouting and ranting about what he came home to
find… first victim is Beto… he left him ‘in charge!’then he wonders what Andres (Diego’s brother)
is there… he points at Susana who instantly says ‘who, me??’Facu yells for ‘Yoya’ (Carmen) but she won’t
come downstairs… Maria and Facu have some news… Porfirio correctly guesses that
they all are heading back home to the country.Facu says that’s it!! After Perpetua rants at Porfirio to not get too
far ahead and let them announce the news. Indeed, that is the news! From Facu
and Maria… We’re all headed home!! (scan around gives mixed reactions. Andres
sad, Beto frozen, Perp Porf very happy. Jacinto is still processing the
info.Facu asks for more of a reaction.
The only one to speak is Porfirio who could not be happier (he is looking
forward to reunite with some lady he left behind…)Jacinto finally is ready to report… he is
surprised, more so than when he learned about quantum physics…Facu suddenly gets the blues… he is
regretting having brought them over to the city… he thought it was for their
good… but he realizes now that there is nothing more important than the love of
family.
Isa in bed wondering where her pills are… she looks
around.Tries to calm herself down… she
needs her S.O.S. pills. She tries to
tell herself she can’t take any more pills.
Porfirio says the eggs taste better out there in the
country. (LOL!!)
Maria notices Beto is sad… Facu and Maria ask him… he says
he doesn’t know what will happen with his studies/career.Maria says there are colleges out there too…and about Rocio… (she gives him a kiss on
cheek and hug… to cheer him up… works to a degree.)Facu is still celebrating, but still yelling ‘Yoya!!!’
Yoya is still trying to get Francis and Diego out of her
room… Facu and Maria come over and Facu wonder what Carmen was doing in her
room with Diego. Carmen asks her dad to trust her. Nothing!Facu then turns to Diego, who assures him he
really loves Carmen and was not doing anything to her. Facu warns him that if
something happens to her…. Diego reassures him he respects her.
The captions were off tonight, almost everyone was deep in the SBeC accent and my brain decided it didn't understand Spanish. I've recapped the first 30 minutes. I will finish it tomorrow when it's up on Hulu. The captions will hopefully be better.
There’s a rehash of Carmen taking down the casting information and Francis trying to goad her into a fight. Unfortunately, Carmen in unaware that Francis has removed the most important part of the poster. It’s a casting for models for a teeny weeny bikini line.
At the boutique, Maria tells Rocio that Fac is not the man she married. Rocio tells Maria that Beto told her about Maria left Florencio at the altar for Fac. Rocio asks Maria if she ever regretting leaving Florencio stranded at the altar. Maria gets uncomfortable and walks away. Both of them hear the bell announcing a customer. A man enters with a huge bouquet of roses. Maria thinks it’s Facundo, but it’s Florencio. He says “all these roses together cannot match the beauty of your face.” He hopes they can can at least make her ojitos de venado sparkle (I translate under duress because it sounds like crap in English: literally deer eyes. I guess I could go with doe eyes.)
Amores con Trampa #84 Facu gets deceived by Santee, Esteban and Beto so he misses the meeting with the investors. Florencio arrives at MC. Rocio and Beto strengthen their love in front of Hilda and Francis
The Carmona kids and Alejandra and Andres playing with the
water and the hose. (was kind of cute Jacinto suggested playing without water
(just hoses) to not waste water.
Isabel finds Jacinto building a fence or cage for animals…
she asks if he will thank her for telling him what was happening (Beto and
Rocio were getting married)… Facu not so
sure it was for the best… Isa asks if he ranted on Maria (put her in her place)… Facu insists he does not want trouble or wars
with anyone… Isa keeps getting close to Facu… he suggests she go back home… Isa
tells him he can count on her for anything (and of course puts her hand on his
face just as Maria comes out of the house and catches them)… Maria acts all
proper/indifferent (you can keep him, I will give him to you for free)… Facu surprised and does not appreciate being
gifted around as if he were a box of candy…
Maria insists Isa can keep him… they keep going back and forth and Facu’s
cap blows… Maria leaves offended, Isa
pulls Facu back and asks him ‘if I do accept that ‘present’ what would happen?’ Facu is totally taken aback she is even
considering that possibility and runs in the house after Maria… Isa starts
feeding the goats… lol
Rocio is confronting Hilda for Beto… Rocio more than irritated and pushes Hilda
back and Hilda falls on a guy who drops his food… Rocio apologizes to the guy…
Beto begs Rocio not to get into fights with Hilda anymore… Hilda suggests Beto will end up with her, who
has no doubts or complications… Rocio
only came to the school to see Beto to tell him she loves him with all her
heart. She saw everything, so she has no doubts about him… no one will separate
them. She wants everyone to hear that no
one will separate them. She has a heart necklace to give him which reflects her
heart that she gives to him. Love you .
Will love you always. (sealed with a
kiss)… Hilda suddenly feels very out of place or the odd man out. Frances and her shadowgirls are there to
witness the scene… Frances starts whinning that she does not know when the
exclusive college became a neighborhood taqueria. Carmen also comes in. Rocio
leaves and Beto goes on to class.
At office, Esteban wants Santee to sign some docs. Santee
says he won’t be fooled twice, he will read the documents very carefully before
signing. Esteban asks him not to get in
trouble by doubting Facu. Santee starts namecalling Facu (charro montaperros). And
undermines the business savvy of Facu’s.
Then he starts talking about women when he looks at the Isa photo
frame. Then talks about Estefani and her
flirting… and then Mireya with her ‘confusions’… but all that is over… Now all
his efforts are aimed at the ranchero (Facu). And to recover what was his. He expects Esteban to help him. Esteban not
so sure.
Isa breaks into Mireya’s office and takes one of the unlabeled pills followed by the eye crossing and boing boing sound effect blinking.
Later she finds the key to the file cabinet and steals Mireya’s files.
Beto interrupts Carmen while she watches her reality model program (they are eliminating contestants tonight!) Beto tells her to get gussied up. He and Feli have a plan for her to go out with Feli. Beto will tell their parents that he’s taking Carmen to the movies. Carmen thinks he’s the best brother ever. Beto wants her to remember that and not call him bad brother names anymore. Carmen tries to decide what to wear. Beto thinks something really modest is the best thing. Apparently he thinks an afghan would make a great date outfit.
Amores con Trampa #79 Friday July 17, 2015 Isa and Francis go from bad to worse... Estefi can't deny her 'evil nature' ... Santee tries to come back home but Isa won't have any of him.
Estefi convo with Jacinto… (we hear her thoughts) she feels
bad she is deceiving Jacinto and all the Carmonas but she has to admit her
mother was right, she does not know how to NOT BE bad. She knows she will
eventually betray all the Carmonas.
Isa visits the Carmonas. Notes to Conchita that Conchita is
dressed normally. Says some nonsense about Conchitas clothes getting worn out.
Conchita isn’t buying, she feels GOOD there at the Carmonas because they treat
her as family, something she never felt at the Velasco household.
At San Bartolo Florencio arm wrestles el Panzon. Hilda comes
in and debriefs Florencio about the Maria, Facundo et al happenings. She says
he should have some hope because his letter DID cause some impact on Maria.
Hilda leaves and Florencio mumbles to himself ‘Maria will be mine again!’
Maria does receive Isabel at her house, although treats her
very dryly. Isa has several ‘announcements’ for her. Perpetua went to threaten
her in defense of Maria. But Isa is
willing to follow up on her earlier promise to Maria that she will leave
Facundo alone. Maria is suspicious, and I am too. (good for you Maria).
At office, Beto congratulates Facundo (on staying away from
Isa?)
Felipe catches with Carmen at school, wants to get together
again, she has to check with Facundo (really? How old are you? 8?) Francis
comes again to annoy Carmen and says Carmen dug her own grave. She threatens
Carmen again yada yada… (maybe Francis should go to the eye doctor… not that Felipe
is THAT ugly, but if she is all about appearance, does she really want Felipe
over Diego or is this just a personal vendetta on Carmen and no longer about
the boys?)
Conchita is a bit edgy serving Porfirio in the kitchen. He
complains a bit about her rebellious attitude ‘Calmate! No es para tanto! Estas
hacienda tormenta en vaso de agua’ (calm down, its not so serious! You are making
a storm in a glass of water… meaning… its not that big a deal as you seem to
make it)
Porfirio keeps calling her ‘yeguita’ (mare?)
Carmen admits she never felt for Diego what she has always
felt for Felipe. All she cares about is Felipe. Are you happy now?? (too bad for her that Francis was recording
this conversation and is planning to use that tape to her advantage)
Hilda
While Rocio wasn’t looking, she swiped her phone.
She also delivered a letter from Florencio to Maria. Can Hilda just go away? Please?
Maria and Facundo Take One
Facundo literally stumbles onto the letter from Florencio. He confronts Maria and doesn’t let her explain a thing. Fac reads the letter. Florencio is still madly in love with Maria. In the letter he asks Maria to forgive him for showing up at her house. It’s just that without her he’s nothing. He misses her and wants a second chance.
Well, Fac is not cool with that. He wants to kill Florencio. And worse...he actually accuses Maria of thinking of cheating. Oh, worse! He actually wonders if Maria was starting something with Florencio before the Carmonas left SBeC.
This earns him a well deserved slap from Maria.
Maria stands her ground. She is not a cheater. Fac finally gets it together and begs Maria to forgive him. He was talking stupid. He wants to bust his own nose for saying it.
Amores con Trampa #75 The Neanderthal is behaving even worse and Isa has found a new career for Mireya, who is not that thrilled. Rocio and Estefani bump noses... Florencio plays his last card.
Beto and Rocio repeat from Thursday. Rocio thinks marriage
is just a paper. Beto surprised but he asks of she doesn’t want to marry him.
Of course she does! He is willing to marry her anyway, even if they have to run
away like his parents did. ‘I will marry you… because I will marry you!’
Back in SBeA Florencio punches Panzon but is nice enough to
then help him with some ice on the eye and buys him a stake and sausage dinner
because Panzon said the scare made him hungry (tragon). Panzon asks if
Florencio will sit down with him but he almost gets punched again. Heck no!
Beto shows Rocio a picture of his family and says they will
make their own family. They look soooo good together! Rocio still a bit reluctant to just get
married in hiding. She asks Beto to
really think about it. Beto says once we get married we’ll just tell them and
that’s that! Rocio still thinks it’s a crazy plan. But he is the bravest guy
she’s ever met and the one that accepts her as she is and brings out the best
in her. He assures her she will be his
wife… and no one will stop that.
(smooch).
At Carmonas, its nighttime. Gusana is trying to cheer up
Jacinto. They are a bit upset they can’t see Alejandra anymore. She’s their
friend. Jacinto even mentions some
hypnosis plan. He walks around and ends
up saying its not a problem for the smarts, it’s a problem for the heart. He is
downgrading himself saying he knows nothing about issues of the heart. Gusana again tries to cheer him up. She is even willing to lie to her parents,
which would be a first for her.
In their bedroom, Maria asks Facu if they went overboard
with Beto. He says no way. We have to stay strong in our decisions. For our
family. Maria recognizes Rocio and Beto
really love each other. Facu says that’s
because you are getting close to her.
Facu even suggest Maria fire Rocio and hire a new sales help. Maria
refuses. It would be like Facu fired Felipe.
No. Facu changes the subject and
says he likes when they talk things over and get agreement. HE will never allow anyone to cause him to
lose her. We are together in this (boy,
man, you are very selective in when it is convenient to have her around).
In the Velasco bedroom, Isa has put on a white rather dated
nightie… Santee is almost losing his breath from all the perfume she put
on. She is lighting up some aromatics.
Santee is worried they will burn down ‘da house!... She keeps acting a bit strange, flirty…
Santee asks if she took more pills than usual.
She is upset, she is trying, they went together to the grocery store and
out to eat… she is trying, don’t you want us to fix our relationship? … She then tries the nose rubbing flirting…
he thinks asking her what she is pretending… she thinks a response you will
find out soon enough and you will regret having deceived me.
Back at Carmona’s, Beto is arriving, trying to make the
least noise possible but of course he runs into some things downstairs. When Beto
gets to his bedroom, Maria and Facu are there waiting for him.
When Estefani arrives in a taxi, Rocio has been waiting for
her outside and confronts her, trying to find out what she is up to. Rocio says the Carmonas are the nicest people
she knows. Estefani tells Rocio that she
is behaving just like her aunt Isa, mentioning a crystal ball like trying to
guess what everyone else thinks and plans.
Rocio still isn’t buying any of Estefani’s schemes. Tells Estefani she destroyed her aunt and
uncle’s relationship and now is trying to break up the Carmonas. It is Estefani’s turn to not buy any. Estefani cares about Maria like a sister, and
‘we both know Facundo is a man any woman would desire… but he is my ‘sister’s
man!’ Rocio affirms she is also willing
to do whatever to defend her relationship with Beto. Estefani lists her daily
tasks as Mary Poppins: help Jacinto with his incontinence, helps Gusana with
her problems at school, helps Carmen with the Ho-wanna be girls who bully her,
and even Beto with the big problem he has with his dad… precisely because he
loves you… and you will thank me. Rocio
says don’t butt in there, I will see how I solve the problem and I will defend
Beto with nails and teeth. Estefi says maybe you are too young to know
that there are problems that nails and teeth will not solve… Rocio just leaves after saying ‘you have been
warned!’ Estefi asks herself why doesn’t
anyone believe me?
I love this show so stinkin' much. I have to warn the patio--I didn't get my nap time today and I'm feeling lazy....so it's mainly going to be a quick out-of-order run through.
Estefy moves into the Carmonas. Rocio drops the “she was my Tio’s lover” bomb and Maria seems to already know all about it. In fact, she says she and Estefy have already talked about it. What say you Vivi? Did this happen? Despite Fac’s protests, Maria puts her foot down. Estefy stays.
Santi finds out the next day when he runs into Estefy outside the Carmonas. Isa finds out, too. Estefy swears Maria is her best friend and that she will defend her tooth and nail. Isa says “What teeth? Those are veneers.” AND DESCOCADA ENDED UP IN THIS CONVO TOO!!!
Back at the Velascos, Isa thinks Santi asked his “friend” Maria to invite Estefy to stay.
Honestly, Estefy doesn’t turn out to be a horrible houseguest and I’m still left wondering if there’s a redemption in her future. Now you are probably saying, “Sara. Are you half chiflada? Didn’t you see that scene where Estefy threw her half clad body at Fac?” I did, dear reader, I did. And I agree that was not cool. Perpetua was correct in telling Estefy to cover up and to later provide her with more appropriate sleepwear. I secretly hope we actually see Estefy in that sack.
Amores con trampa #70 3 July 2015... Where all the males over the age of 18 feel like arguing, drawing lines and punching each other. Neanderthals!
Gusana and Ale… talking about Andres… while grilling some
meat.
Mireya and Esteban argue about Isa. Este says Isa looks
better instead of worse so the treatment isn’t working. Mireya claims it
is. Isa is ABOUT TO fall apart. She will suffer a terrible crisis. Esteban questions it… what he sees is Isa is
more smart… even more beautiful. He
wants results! How is Mireya with Santee?
Este shows very impatient. He needs to see Isa and Santee split and
Santee sunk in despair. Isa calls
Mireya. Este tells Mireya to agree to a
meeting. He is running out of patience. He needs Isa locked in a nut-house
ASAP.
Back at the grill, Jacinto and a couple young redhead boys
(the ones that bullied him early on at school are now going to be good to him,
per what Jacinto says) join the girls.
Gusana not so quick to trust them. The boys walk away. The twin boys
have a plan of their own.. I guess their turnaround is not so.
At office, Santee arrives at Facu’s office with a suitcase…
make that two suitcases. He opens them for Facu. They are FULL OF MONEY!! Santee says it is the worst humiliation he
ever had to suffer at a bank. As if he had a farmers market stand… Facu mocks
him a bit since he once DID have a farmers market stand. Santee says never
mind, here’s your money bill by bill.
Facu reminds him it is money he loaned him the same way, bill by bill.
Santee does not want to remember the past, but Facu does. Facu would not trust Santee further than he
could throw him. Facu is hungry, he is
about to order food while they count the money by hand. Facu even will pay for Santee’s food… Santee
reacts as if it were a tragedy.
At Mireya’s office, Isa has arrived. Isa whines that at home
things are ok… the pills have worked well. But she gets cross-eyed and asks
Mireya for help. Mireya serves Isa some
wine to give her another pill.
Back at The Carmonas, Carmen has joined the girls by the
pool. The party is going well so far, they comment. Francis arrives. And starts annoying
Carmen. Diego and Feli along with the
shadow girls arrive. The boys both have
something for Carmen and they reach in front of Francis to give it to her at
unison, causing a cup of drink to spill right on Francis face and outfit. They all laugh it off except Francis, who is
offended, as always.
Back to Mireya’s office… Isa gets real upset… Mireya asks if
she has been taking the pills. Isa says
she can’t drink so much because her kids are watching and nagging her for
it. Mireya says the treatment only works
after 3 weeks. Isa says its been 4 weeks. Mireya says you gotta be
patient. And serves her another glass of
drink. Mireya sends Isa home to rest. Isa
gets some twitches on her neck but thanks Mireya for her help, you are better
than all other therapies, yoga, mantras, etc.
She leaves very happy.
It feels like it's been non-stop action ever since the doomed anniversary fiesta, but with Jarifa as our talented guide it will be smooth sailing no matter what comes our way!
From Friday
Estefy and Maria are going out for a girl day.
The Panzón tells Florenico Gallardo that Maria and Fac are having trouble. Florencio wants to put a smile back on Maria’s face.
Florencio wastes no time in calling the Carmonas. Perpetua wastes no time in hanging up on him.
Today
Fac is NOT happy about El Panzón spreading gossip. Perptetua asks what Fac is going to do. Florencio was always in love with Maria and now that he’s a widower, he may try and win her back. Fac knows Maria loves him. Perpetua and Fac decide not to tell that Maria about Florencio’s calls. They unplug the phone.
Amores con Trampa #65 ...some planned invitees to the store opening, some not so planned invitees making plans to go)... and a nightmare from the past is coming back, Facu!!
Refritos: Santee comes in Estefi’s apartment and is outraged
at finding his wife’s furniture there.
He starts word-slamming down Estefi that she is a nobody, has nothing! Just
a leach dressed as waiter.
He says he will get her out of his apartment.
New:
Beto confirms to Rocio that it was Hilda who got a ‘brebage’
into her drink. Rocio laughs it off, still not quite believing or giving the ‘witchcraft’
credit. She swears she will love Beto no matter what witchcraft is thrown her
way. Beto says he wants to marry her
ASAP… he gets momentarily scared that the witchcraft worked and she does not
want to marry him anymore… Nah! Let’s do it!
At Carmonas dinner table, everyone seems a bit more up in
spirits… However, Maria stands up fairly quickly… Carmen tries to play
peacemaker… Maria says she just wants to concentrate on her store. Beto comes in. He says will spend the day tomorrow with
Rocio. Facu does not feel that is proper… but Beto says he will spend more time
with Rocio from now on… wait for it… wait for it… he proposed to Rocio!!.. All
the Carmonas suddenly are speechless, frozen in time.
At the Velasco living room, Santee seems a bit entertained
at Isabel’s bad mouthing the ‘gorditos’ relatives of the Carmonas. Santee starts getting slimy around her neck
and she seems to not really enjoy it. Santee wants to roll in the sheets. Wants her to warm him up… she says not even
burning the furniture. He keeps staring
at her and breathing hard… mentions something about a police investigation.
Beto and his parents argue about his getting engaged to
Rocio. He doesn’t get why they let him
date her if they are not ok with him marrying her. The parents angrily say they
don’t want to become related to the VElascos.
Facu angrily rants at Beto that he expected Beto to protect his
kids/family, not to go roll in the hay with that girl. Facu throws Beto out. Beto says if you think you
will stop me from marrying Rocio just because you kick me out to the curb, you
are sooooo wrong.
In their bedroom, Facu is scared they just lost Beto for
good. Maria rants at him for treating Beto like that. She argues ‘if you had been tougher on him
from the get go like I was this would not have happened!’ Facu does not want to argue. Maria just
leaves the room. Facu is upset that all
his matchmaking efforts are splitting up the people he wanted to get close to
each other.
