La Gata #79 12/19/14 La Fractura
42 to go.
I'm out and about today. I will be posting the recap in fits and spurts with combined scenes and in some cases just a sentence or two when the scene was a lot of repetitive conversation.
Parte Uno
We are "treated" to the refrito from Thursday. Low runs to Pablo's side. Gisela claims he's groggy from too much drinking, but Esme doesn't fall for it. Pablo doesn't drink. Gisela knows Esme must be upset. Gesela tried to tell Esme that Pablo was steppin' out on her, but Esme didn't want to believe it. Esme goes OFF. She tells Gisela to cut it out. She's tired of her crap. Esme drives her wheelchair into Gisela, knocking her onto the bed.
Rita tells Carrlos to butt out of the grown up conversation. She and Dorila were just discussing his relationship with Little Miss Finolis (Virginia.) Dorila turns to him and tells him that Low still doesn't approve the relationship. Carrlos tells Dorila that Low will have to get used to it. He plans on studying, bettering himself and marrying Miss Virginia. Dorila sneers and tells Rita that this boy just "can't be him." Dorila says she'll be back in a month and leaves. "Can't be who?" asks Carrlos. Rita just brushes off his questions and announces she's going to go visit Ines.

La Gata #78 12-18-14 La-Toodle-oo’s Whack’d Novela, La Gata!
Right here in cyberspace
The Diva and her recapping pals
Are caught in an endless chase
Pursued by a woman named LaToodle-oo
Whose crappy stories cause the viewers woe
So she pulled some bullshit out her purse
And with her novelas she haunts them
All across the UNI-verse.
LaToodle-oo: I’LL GET YOU!!!

La Gata #77 - Wed 12/17 - La Vibora
In Blanca's assessment, she keeps saying Augie's her husband. She vaguely remembers other things, like the dump and the shack/outhouse, and her roses, and that she'd like to see her daughter.
Dorila is hanging a painting on a freshly-painted wall in Augie and Lo's apartment. Gisela shows up and Lo tells her they've had nothing but bad luck since she showed up--Augie's in jail! He's accused of kidnapping, and Lo really doesn't know what to believe. But she believes the worst of Gisela, and she's sure this has something to do with plotting that Augie and Gisela did together.
Esme and Fer spy on Blanca's assessment. Doesn't anyone on this show have a sense of ethics or respect for other people's privacy? Blanca remembers Esme, but calls her Renata. She thought Fer had "Renata" locked up. Blanca continues her mixed-up babbling and Esme just hugs her and doesn't say anything. Not even "Trust me, mom, it's this guy who's your husband, not the wacko in the cell."

La Gata #76 12/16/14 La Locura
What a frustrating episode.
I'm going to do this all out of order. There were really only two story arcs that saw any action (and believe me I am using the term "story arc" VERY loosely.)
Oh, and my notes were crap. La Gata must have sedative affects because I was drifting during the episode and as soon as the closing credits ran I hit the hay and slept hard until my alarm went off this morning.
Fela is found
But she is found more as an accident. It's not like anyone was ACTIVELY searching for her.
Augie brought Blanca pictures and news clippings of Esme and Blanca is not amused. She wants the real deal. She doesn't believe he is her husband. He says he is and can prove it. He takes her to the mansion that used to be Fer's, but was stolen by the MNs and is now back under the ownership of Fer. While she's there, Blanca has a hallucination of Fer. She freaks out and runs out the door and on to the terrace and starts screaming.

La Gata #75 The one where Esmeralda joined a cult 12/15/2014
Ok, confession time, I don't watch the show. I read the recaps, and I watch the episodes I recap but I can't make myself watch without wanting to cry, last night my sister joined me in watching this and fun times were had by all. This will be a short recap because really nothing happened, there was no Mariano, no Gisela and no Lorenza.
Now to the recap:
Blanca and Agustin are hanging out at kidnap central, she wants to know when he will set her free, and he makes excuses, he kisses her and she thinks this is gross, she's only going along in order to be reunited with her daughter, Miss. Kitty. Will she be able to fake this affection for Agustin long term? She better be, cause no one is looking for her.

La Gata #74 12/12/14 The One Where I Didn't Pay Attention
With credit to Eli for the title inspiration.
- Garabato has skinny legs and Dan needs a little sun on his legs.
- Chacharas is a good portero.
- Who the hell won the beauty contest?
- Ines is arrested while threatening Esme.
- Rita gets drunk.
- Gisela offers to take care of Fela...getting rid of her if necessary. Augie adamantly refuses.

La Gata #73 12-11-14 The little shack of venganza
Monica has hired a PI to find out who is the other woman in Augie’s life.

This bright sunny morning finds Esme and Mariano in the garden with the babies talking about setting up a fair. They will set it up together. He smiles. They make signs with glitter and stuff. They seem to have fun. They tick off the list of things yet to do. . .decorations, prizes, music. . .well, look at the time how it’s flown. Dr. Hottie (Javier Penuela) arrives with Virginia
Face off between Lo and Gisela, Bitch 1 and Bitch 2. They argue over who’s the bigger bitch. Lo asks if she put the snake in the bed.
Much laughter and light hearted banter between Dr. Hottie, Virginia, Mariano and Esme when Pablo comes in to rain on the parade. He marks his territory for Mariano and Dr. Hottie’s benefit, declaring his love and loudly slurping Esme.. Doc Hottie looks sick and Mariano looks like, whatever, punk.

La Gata #72 - Wed 12/10 - La Cancelación
Gisela is interrupted in her murder attempt by Jarocha. I don't even listen to the insults they're tossing at each other. Watching Jarocha throw her out was fun, though. Why is Esme wearing makeup?

La Gata #70 12/08/14 The one where no one looked for Fela
- Fela is still missing-no one seems to care
- Agustin's plan is to keep Fela as his prisoner for so long that she forgets her life with Fernando and then he will replace her memories with fake ones of him and Fela as a happy couple. What the F*ck. That's his actual plan you guys!
- Chacharas is showing signs of early dementia by asking the crypt keeper, I mean Rita to marry him. He takes her out to a little river/pond thingy and pops the question, all I wanted was for Rita to fall overboard and drown. Yeah, I said it. I don't care what stupid plot line they come up with for her, I don't like her and I'm never gonna like her, so there!
- Rita accepts the proposal and the two make out, and boy am I glad I got myself a beer after work, it helped numb the pain of that scene.
- Rita says that the cards show Esmeralda's operation will be life changing, *cue the music of doom*
- Esmeralda gets a call from bat shit crazy Gisela who requests that the two meet up for a chat.

Now let us recite our nightly affirmations:
We acknowledge that by watching this show, we are only enabling Ms. Latoodle-oo. We affirm that by our participation we harm ourselves and others by making her think she is creating a good product. We affirm that Maite is a raven-haired goddesses and that it is not her fault she is in this dreck. We affirm that we will watch this crap until the bitter end, but we will come out the better for it. We affirm that by sharing our heartbreak and frustration, we will be stronger in our conviction to never partake of a Latoodle-oo production again.

La Gata #68, 12-4-14 Augie's Foiled Again. . . .or Fela Free at Last!!
We’re going to zip around and see what these folk are up to tonight. It’s going to be brief. Please feel free to fill in or correct.
We get a quick peek at Blanca in her beautiful blue top in the concrete block shack and rapidly are whisked to Augie and Lo’s miserable apartment. Augie is in a pissy mood as usual. He tells Lo he’s going to get his house and money back and put El Sil back in prison. This will make his life complete. He tells Lo he wants a divorce. That’s the cherry on top.
Esme is having a pity party. Mariano comforts and tries to cheer her. He’s there for her always.
Pablo tries to find someone who sees things his way with the whole kissing Gisela in the middle of the restaurant thing. Omar has brought Virginia

La Gata #67 - Wed 12/3 - La Ridiculez
Augie has a cab take him to Fernando's old mansion, sitting empty. He remembers Lo saying it was the house of her dreams and him saying it was all for his queen. He whines about there always being a shadow over it all. Maybe because you were a thief and a liar and didn't deserve to be living there? He thinks back to the bad old good old times. Young Virginia was apparently a sleepyhead back in the day. "What happened to us?" Karma caught up with you. Of course, he blames it all on…Blanca! Wait…what?!
Fela is out on the patio with all the ladies of Casa Silencioso, so maybe he was directing it at the back of Esme's head? Esme and Principe would like to know if Esme is Fela and Fernando's bio-daughter. Fela is distracted from answering by a freak-out upon seeing Augie out on the balcony of her old house.

La Gata #66 12/2/14 La Muñeca
I may be the only one who feels this way, but this is starting for feel more like a support group than a conversation about a Telenovela. Gluttons for Punishment Anonymous, perhaps?
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
- Dr. Peñuela (played by the scrumptious Marcelo) is overwhelmed by eau de protagonista.
- Pablo wants to get married ASAP, but Esme still hesitates.
- Dr. Cisneros will be here soon!
- Pablo wears Esme down and she finally agrees to marry him the day before her operation (and I can't help but think that you aren't allowed to eat or drink after midnight before a surgery... so they better make it an AM wedding so Esme can enjoy a little of the reception.)
- Augie had hoped Mariano would remain loyal to him, but now his kids are dead to him and if Low is going to keep bleating about the nietos, she's dead to him too!

La Gata #65 And then stuff happened
My DVR went blank after maybe 25 minutes of the show and I could not find the episode on-line, below are bullet points of what I did get to see:
- Pablo picks up Kitty and takes her on a hot air balloon ride, if my boyfriend did that he would soon find himself single.
- Mariano is freaking out about the missing paper work, and instead of telling Fernando he and Pablo make it a super special mission to locate the document-dude, when your last hope is Pablo you know you are doomed.
- Kitty arrives home
- Mercedes freaks out because Lorenza has not returned the babies in time for Esmeraldas to see them
- Mercedes comes clean and tells Kitty that Lorenza has been picking up the babies everyday so they can go to the park, Kitty does not look happy.

La Gata #64 11/28/14 La Maldad
La moral, la conciencia y la vergüenza
Mariano thanks El Sil again for helping him. El Sil thinks if Mariano was about to commit an offense, he had his reasons, but he also had the strength to stop himself. Morality and conscience has made Mariano a good person. When Mariano asks about shame, El Sil tells him to never forget it since it can keep a person from committing the same offense twice (which he phrases as "tropezar con la misma piedra"--tripping over the same stone. A classic TN phrase.)

La Gata #63 11-17-14 Turkey. . .and Masochism is best served HOT!!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This title is dedicated to Mariano and the other gobblers in tonight's episode!
Right out of the gate we are treated with Jarocha beating the crap out of Gisela. Jarocha gets in some good slaps, choking and a blow to the stomach before Pablo comes out into the hallway to see what’s happening. Relish this thrashing; you’re going to need it later. Jarocha tells Pablo that this dirty pig has told Esme she is paralyzed. Gisela doesn’t seem quite as cheeky anymore. Security Guards have to tussle mightily to restrain Jarocha who even aims some kicks at Gisela.
Pablo finds Esmeralda on the floor. She cries that she cannot walk and that she was lied to. Pablo holds her as she sobs and pledges his undying love.
Outside Fernando and Blanca arrive and Jarocha informs them as well of the well-guarded secret that Gisela has just blurted out. Fernando prepares to rip into her when Gisela recognizes him and calls him a killer. Blanca tries to defend him. Fer decides they will go in to see Esmeralda and tells Gisela he will deal with her later. The guards continue to keep Jarocha and Gisela separated.
Esme is back in bed now as Fer and Blanca enter. She is glad to see them; she has them and swears she is not going to give up. Outside the large glass window which opens on the hallway Rita states solemnly that her dream has been realized, Esme is a broken rag doll.

La Gata #62 - Wed 11/26 - La Indiscreción
A lot of what happened at Esme's bedside in the early part of the episode was pretty irrelevant, so it's going to get combined, condensed, etc. In contrast, some of our supporting cast were using interesting vocabulary and idioms tonight, and making some important revelations, so they're going to get more coverage than they might usually warrant, though still, I opted to combine scenes instead of cutting back and forth.

La Gata #61 11/25/14 La Paralítica
I missed the first little bit and the house was kind of chaotic with dogs and visitors, so I'm going to throw some bullets up and watch on hulu tomorrow and put more details in then.
- I tuned in right as Ines, Garabato and the gang had made their escape.
- La Gata is paralyzed and wearing odd headgear with two lemons for each ear. The doctor says there is a possibility of surgery, but it's risky. If I had taken a drink every time someone said "paralítica" I would be sloshed.
- Everyone visited Esme.
- Lowrenza is growing a heart and very much wants to be a part of her nieto's lives. Augie is not sold on the idea.

La Gata #60 11/24/14 Brain damage!
Is that proof that Esmeralda and Pablo had brains? Who knew. Anyhoo, let me get to it.
My beloved Mariano comes upon the accident scene, he had a bad feeling that something was wrong with the two love birds, when he realizes that Esmeralda and his brother have been injured he cries out in anguish (someone give me some tissues!).
At Casa De Venganza everyone is worried about Esmeralda, they all expected her to be home hours ago and they can't find her, Jarocha suggests that maybe she and Pablo decided to run away and marry in secret, Fernando says Esmeralda would not do that. They then get the call that tells them about the accident, Fernando leaves to the hospital and Fela and Virgina stay behind, I really wish that they would stop treating these two like helpless children, they are grown women, treat them as such! Fernando promises to call them with updates.
Lorenza has a heart-allegedly
Lorenza and Agustin argue, she tells him that she will be going to the wedding, she might not like Esmeralda but she loves her son and she will give him her full support, Agustin is dead set against this but she reminds him "if you can't beat the enemy, join him".
