Lo Imperdonable #120 Mon 11/2/15 The Worst Gran Final Ever!
My friends, we deserved better than this. Enough said.
"I yam what I yam!"
– Popeye
In Pablo's apartment in Mexico City, Manuel makes a lightning switch from blubbering bathos to manic menace. He is going to be the same Manuel Sánchez Álvarez he has always been – cause why fix it if it ain't broke? He jumps up, and grabs the paper Pablo and Ana Perla have signed, and waving his gun at them, backs out of the room. Ana Perla, instead of shouting for joy that she and Pablo are still breathing, lets out a tearful ¡No puede ser!
Tying up the turkey
Daniel, trussed up with gauze, watches Verónica drawing up an injection (which we never see her use). Daniel can't believe Vero has been fooling him. Virginia was supposed to give Vero the medicine. "Virginia betrayed me! Arrrrrrghhh!"
A quick cut to the vecindad and an 'Oh crap' moment for someone who richly deserves it.
Chelas has just tucked his loaded gun into his waistband; he opens his door to two policemen with their guns drawn.
It's so annoying when your uncle won't let you go out and kill people.

Lo Imperdonable #119 Fri 10/30/15 Desperately Seeking Those Anvils
Hi all. This will be my last recap for "Lo Imperdonable". It has been
such a pleasure recapping this one. Many thanks to my teammates
NovelaMaven, AuntyAnn, Princess Juju, Adriana, and LatinaInMD for their wonderful
recaps throughout the show's entire run. Many thanks also to all those
who joined us here on The Patio. Watching this show with all of you has
made the experience more enjoyable.
Well, here we are on the second to last episode, and the anvils still haven't arrived. They must still be in the shipping process. Darn. Mejia should have paid the express shipping. We'll have to wait until the very end it seems. Let's hope the anvils will be satisfying.
Now on to the recap...
She's Alive
Veronica makes her grand entrance at the presentation of her jewelry collection and leaves the entire Prado Castelo clan and Claudia stunned. Virginia wonders if Veronica has recovered her memory.
Rebeca annouces Veronica and asks her to come up onto the runway. Veronica gets onto the runway and walks over towards Marty. The two stare at each other. Veronica gives him a small smile before she enters character and pretends to reject him. When Marty goes to embrace her, Veronica gets into her character and backs off, rejecting him in front of everyone.
Veronica then goes and embraces Virginia who she asks to protect her from Marty. This further stuns the Prado Castelo clan as well as Claudia who has the best stunned facial expression in the scene.

Lo Imperdonable #118 Thu 10/29/15 Julio dies a hero and... oh no! not Padre Juan!
An alert has been issued to the surviving characters of this telenovela: If you are not absolutely indispensible to the plot, take shelter now and do not emerge until next Tuesday. I repeat...
Vero is still afraid of Marty, but she trusts her mama. She agrees to go with her to a very special place tonight, no questions asked.
Manny snarls and Ana Perla snivels
So what else is new? This: when Manny glances up at the little glass shrine to the Virgin, Blanquita bops him with the flower bucket. He grabs Blanca's ankle, but Ana Perla conks him on the head with what may be a pineapple. [Thanks, J, Gobluefan and Mauricio!] She doesn't hit him hard enough though, because he is still alive and writhing on the ground as the Goat girls run away.
The plan involves horses and the help of a personal assistant.
Marty has brought Rebeca's assistant to the riding club and now introduces her to his horse Sansón.

Lo Imperdonable #117 Wed 10/28/15
AP tells Pablo that the truth is out. She is heir to half of OG's money and the only heir to the house where Manny is living. But the worst part for Manny is that Pablo gets some of the inheritance too because he is now AP's husband, and that is the only reason Manny went to visit AP.
Vero breaks away from Marty's loving embrace. She does not know him and wants to be left alone. He calls her mi amor; she runs away and Marty goes after her.
Some of Pablo's brain cells start functioning as he realizes the reason Manny was after him and AP after Pablo had taken AP from her almost marriage to Julio. AP also confesses that Manny tried to kill her in front of OG's casket. Blanquita's screams interrupt the conversation. AP asks Pablo to help her cousin. Manny takes advantage and locks himself and AP in the room.

Lo Imperdonable #116 Tue 10/27/15 Rebeca makes her move, Manny fails to kill Aaron, and Marty reunites with Veronica.
Aaron has Marty trapped and pinned to a wall with a gun pointed at him from behind.
Now that Marty is out of sight, the cousins and Veronica continue their way to the nursing school.
At the PC offices, the bank manager tells Jorge that the bank will take full responsibility for having cashed the check without verifying that it was indeed Jorge's signature. The bank will be giving Jorge his money back. Jorge wants to know who could have robbed him. While the bank can't provide the actual images from the security camera, they can provide him with a screen shot of the blind man who came to cash the check. Jorge takes a look at the man in the photo and IDs Aaron.

Instead
of pulling the trigger, Aaron decides it's a good idea to babble
away and tell Marty his plans to kill Magdalena and Botel as well. The
three of them will all reunite in hell and hey they may even reunite
with Veronica down there as well. At the mention of Veronica, Marty
reverts to Crazy Marty, and with a quick move he's able to get the
upperhand on Aaron overpowering him and causing him to drop his gun to
the ground.

Lo Imperdonable #115 Mon 10/26/15 The cousins chase Vero, who is running from Marty, who is pursued by Aarón, who is wanted all over Mexico. Got that?
Think about it. Mexico City is enormous. Over nine million people live in the city proper within an area of 573 square miles. (In the greater metropolitan area, there are more than 20 million.) But judging by tonight's episode, the Distrito Federal is just another pueblo pequeño.
Lo de antes:
Martín goes to Virginia's room to confront her. While he is there, she gets a call from Aarón.
Arturo knocks Verónica down with his bike as she is wandering in a daze through the city streets.
Lo nuevo:
Maybe it's the big bandage on her head and the hospital gown over the sweat pants. Maybe it's the bruises on her lovely face or her utter confusion and helplessness. But after the accident, Arturo feels responsible for this Damsel in Distress. He tries to persuade her to come with him so he can take care of her. Though Verónica is very frightened, she decides to take a chance – she puts herself at the mercy of this sympathetic young man.
Halloween has come early to the vecindad
In Mexico City, Aarón, wearing tortoise-shell horn rims and blue surgical scrubs, makes his limping way down the stairs of the vecindad. He looks down at his phone and mutters angrily. That stupid woman thinks she can ignore his call!

Lo Imperdonable #114 Fri 10/23/15 Virginia's Luck Seems To Be Running Out
At the n-less hospital, the authorities have come to see Botel so he can give them his statement about being shot.
In Mina Escondida, Marty agrees to assist Raymunda and Joaquin so they can take a look at Crescencio's last will and testament.
At the market, Julio is hard at work. He flashes back (or daydreams) about shopping for baby clothes with Ana Perla. Wait a minute, the two are about to kiss, so this has to be a daydream, riiight? Back in reality, well not really reality, actually it is more like Julio's own little world, anyway back in Julio's own little world, he tells himself that he is sure that he will win Ana Perla's love. He vows to make her the happiest girl ever. Whatever.
Meanwhile, Ana Perla is already the happiest girl ever, because she visits Pablo and greets him with a sweet kiss on the lips. She explains to Pablo that Julio is not living with her and that she only accepted Julio as a Bro-Friend (boyfriend/friend). She wanted to explain so Pablo does not think the worst of her. She accepts that she tried to test Pablo because she was sick and tired of nutty Mariana wanting to separate them. Pablo assures her that he will teach Mariana a lesson. He tells her that he has to leave for New York for the opening of an exhibition. Yes, he is going with Mariana. When he returns he will be the man that Ana Perla wants. He asks Ana Perla to trust him. Ana Perla tells him that she will trust him. Smoochies. Lucia walks in on them and is all smiles.

Aaron shows up at the PC
mansion and gives condolences to Ginny for her cousins’ death. He tells her to
ask her adopted dad for the money he wants, but she says she can’t because then
he (Jorge) will think she’s only about the money. Besides the family has had
some problems and she was going to ask a friend for the money. Aaron wants his
money NOW. Ginny gives him a check she stole from Jorge and forges his
signature. Aaron tells gives her a false name to put on the check. Ginny hopes
that after this Aaron will leave her alone. He tells her this is just the
beginning. Aaron leaves and Ginny is
left alone until Chucho comes in. Ginny orders Chucho not to say a word to
Jorge or Emi about Aaron’s visit. Chucho is skeptical because Jorge likes to
know everything that happens at the house. Ginny warns Chucho that if he doesn’t
want any trouble then he better listen. He reluctantly agrees and Ginny leaves
to go back to the office. Chucho thought bubbles why Ginny doesn’t want Jorge
to know about Aaron. Chucho seems to have more brain cells than some of our
other characters.

Lo Imperdonable #111 Tue 10/20/15 The one where the whole Patio gets together and recaps
I'm not sure what's happening with our recap today, but just in case, here's a quick and dirty overview from memory. Please feel free to add details or correct any errors. Thanks!
Virginia calls Aarón's bluff. She says he can't possibly have any proof of what he's saying. Besides, who would believe an ex-con anyway?
Aaron laughs. Then he pulls Vero's phone from his breast pocket and plays the damning video. Yes, he has no proof that Virginia murdered Verónica, but here is the evidence of what she did to this Matilde person. She'd better cough up the money. Or else.
As soon as Aarón is gone, Virginia calls Daniel and tells him what just happened. He says it's HER problem – he had nothing to do with Mati's murder. He refuses to give her any money to pay off Aarón because he needs it all to remodel the house. Besides, he has his hands full right now with the "vieja" who survived. Maybe he should just get rid of her...
We see a form bundled up in a blanket. Who?

New Telenovela: Pasion y Poder Synopsis & Character Descriptions: Starts November 3rd 2015 at 9pm.
Synopsis
The story of "Pasion y Poder" is about two successful businessmen, Eladio Gómez Luna (Fernando Colunga) and Arturo Montenegro (Jorge Salinas), who have been facing off for many years because of business and for the love of Julia (Susana Gonzalez).
Eladio appears to have it all - success, money, and power. However, he does not have the love of Julia, his wife, who he has always loved. Julia married Eladio a short time after finding out that his fiancé, Arturo Montenegro, had gotten another woman pregnant. Julia believed that she would fall in love with Eladio but he has never known how to win her affection and loves her in a sick manner. A short time later, David (Jose Pablo Minor) was born. Eladio has never gotten along with his son and instead has given his godson Franco (Danilo Carrera) all of his trust and has made him a faithful copy of his hate, ambition, and despotism.

Lo Imperdonable #110 Mon 10/19/15 Verónica's men grieve, Martín's women hover, and Virginia's luck starts to run out.
Because sometimes once is more than enough, let's start right in on the new scenes tonight:
Mexico City, El Mercado
Ana Perla has finally ditched the maid's uniform. And maybe, as Marty once told Pablo, she really does have good genes because now she shows no sign of her recent ordeal. Indeed, she is bursting with good health in her little white blouse, yellow sash and floral print skirt.
Arturo invites Blanquita and her cousin to work with him in his vegetable stand. Ana Perla hesitates. She doesn't want to be a bother to him. [Oddly, nobody worries about bumping into the mean boss lady. Isn't this the market where she buys her mangos?] Blanquita urges Ana Perla to accept Arturo's offer. Aren't they one big happy family now? Before Ana Perla can reply, old doña Fede comes along with her carnations. When she hears that Ana Perla is looking for work, she offers her the flower stall because she is leaving the city to live with one of her children. [And seriously, if the old lady is giving it away, how much can it be worth?]

Lo Imperdonable #109 Fri 10/16/15 RIP Veronica Prado Castelo
Marty,
Magda, and Botel are informed that Veronica has been involved in an
auto accident where her minivan exploded. Magda cries and rushes to
Botel's arms for comfort. Marty looks on stunned not being able to
believe the news. They are told that to further traumatize themselves they can get more information at the scene of the accident.
We take a detour to Pueblo Nuevo, where we find Manny getting his drunk on and recalling his recent rendezvous with Virginia. Oh snap. Manny wants Virginia to be his woman.
Still in Pueblo Nuevo, we are now taken to Raymunda and Joaquin's new home where we find the two of them cuddling up in bed and talking about Blanquita. They both hope that Arturo will keep his word. Joaquin trusts Blanquita and considers her to be responsible. Raymunda says that Blanquita is young and at the age of making mistakes. Joaquin points out that you can make mistakes at any age. And OG is a good example, because had OG been more firm with Manny, then things would be so different now. Say what? Wasn't he just saying that Manny is how he is because he was born with a rotten soul? Continuity, continuity, continuity. Raymunda says that she had always believed in Manny and can now see that he took out his claws when he had the chance to attack his own family. Joaquin tells her that the baddest ambitions can destroy entire families.

Lo Imperdonable #108 Thu 10/15/15 Veronica Gets The Dirt Then Goes KaBoom
Marty
and Vero let Botel and Magda know that Aaron has been released from
prison. Magda does not take the news well. Botel and Vero try to calm
her down by telling her that sooner or later Aaron will commit another crime
and it will be back to the pokey for him.
In another Telenovela Fashion Horror we find Daniel sporting red pants and
wiring himself up for his meeting with Vero. If Virginia double
crosses him again then he hopes that Veronica
is able to escape from harm's way. That way, Veronica will be able to
use the dirt that he'll supply her with to bring down Virginia.
Meanwhile, he'll be keeping the money that Vero has given him.
In another boneheaded move, Veronica doesn't give Marty details on where she's going and who she's meeting. Instead she asks him to trust her. They eventually get to talking about their love and how nothing and I mean nothing will separate them. Not even death. Annd if that's not foreshadowing then I don't know what is.

Lo Imperdonable #107 Wed 10/14/15 Computer Malfunction!!!
Hey guys. Bad news. I was literally 2 minutes away from finishing my recap and my laptop shut down on me. I can't believe it. Everything is lost. I can't find it. I am totally upset right now. I will do a summary. Hope you guys understand. Thanks.
SUMMARY
SUMMARY
- New character introduced. Her name is Rebeca Rojo. She is interested in Vero's jewelry collection and in Vero's husband. She makes a good impression on everyone. Turns out Jorge knows her father. After some negotiating she seals the deal and shakes hands on a contract with Emi who is smitten with her. She is smitten with Marty until she finds out from Vero (who thankfully did not take lessons from Pablo) that Marty is married to her. Rebeca makes a date with Marty to talk about remodeling her home. Vero can not go because she has a previous engagement (she's going to meet with Dr. Dan to get the evidence against Ginny).

Lo Imperdonable #106 Tue 10/13/15 Blanquita Takes Center Stage And Danna Garcia Enters Stage Left.
Hi all. I'm filling in for Princess Juju who is busy with work. I don't have much time this morning to write a full recap so this will have to be highlights / bullet points. Luckily, not that much happened last night and it was rather disappointing given that we are so close to the end. I have always liked Blanquita and she's a sweetheart but last night felt like "The Blanquita Show" with so much focus on her character. Honestly, I felt that time was wasted on her when we could be moving things along. Oh well, we'll just have to go with the flow with what the monkey writers give us.
Annnd now .. it's time for bullet points!
- Manny flashes back to his
nauseatingheated make out session with Virginia the previous night. He laments that The Gold Scam was an epic fail and vows to make Remigio pay. I'd hate to be in Rem's shoes.
- Marty has been worried sick about Veronica who returns home very late. She doesn't tell him where she's been, but she does tell him that she wants to love him and that in order to have peace she'll have show that Virginia has lied and is a murderer. How will she do this? Well, he'll know that tomorrow night. As for tonight .. let the smooches began.

Lo Imperdonable #105 Mon 10/12/15 Aarón goes free, Manuel gets absolution, and Virginia learns Salma's darkest secret.
Verónica and Martín are exonerated and Prado Castelo is released from the clutches of the crooked Italian
Jorge's face is as flat as ever, but Emi pushes out his lower lip in that bulldog way that says he is unconvinced. He still thinks Vero could have leaked the information. She could have had an accomplice inside the corporation – Nicolás or Berta, say, who both had access to her password and whose departures seem suspiciously convenient. [When did Berta leave, huh, monkeys? Huh?]
Vero argues that the accusation makes no sense – why would she threaten the success of her own collection? She offers to show Jorge and Emi her bank accounts to prove that she has no unexplained deposits. But when the Italian client stops by and yields to Vero's threats to put him in jail as a party to theft of information, it is clear to all that Vero and Marty were uninvolved. Unfortunately, the client refuses to name Virginia as his real accomplice, but he agrees to adhere to the original contract. The crops are corporation is saved!

Lo Imperdonable #104 Fri 10/9/15 Marty is freed, Virginia and Manny bond, and Julio is shirtless.
Just as Marty believes that his world has crumbled, after being found guilty of fraud, Veronica makes her grand entrance into the courtroom with the evidence that she needs so hubs can once again be a free man. She presents the police report to the judge stating that it says that the gold from La Morenita was robbed by two individuals from the village and replaced with the fake ingots. Judge kvetches stating that Veronica is interrupting a courtroom trail and not following the proceedings she must follow to present the evidence. In the end, Judge accepts to look at the evidence and calls a recess stating that he will make his decision in an hour. After Marty is taken away back to his cell, Veronica tells Jorge and Emiliano that she has found the La Morenita gold and they'll have it tomorrow.
Virginia confronts Manny over him getting her hopes up by making her believe that he would sell her his gold. Manny reminds her that nothing was signed and besides he can't sell his gold for such small earnings. He'd at least have go to up 50%. At that moment, Virginia gets a call on her cellphone that now magically works in Mina Escondida. It's Emiliano who tells her to cancel the gold order from La Perla because Marty's gold has reappeared. He tells her that the gold was stolen by two miners from Mina Escondida. Virginia now realizes that the REAL reason Manny had for not wanting to sell her his gold is because he doesn't have it anymore. She asks him if he's the one who stole it.
Salma pours her heart out to Nicolas and breaks his heart in the process. She tells him that she wants to escape from her problems. It isn't the first time that she has done it and now it is costing her. She wants to start a new life free of lies and deception. She breaks his heart by telling him that she cannot leave with him and that it is best that the two of them not see each other anymore.

Lo Imperdonable #103 Thu 10/8/15 Vero goes for the gold – and she gets it! Virginia? She doesn't even medal.
Over Crescencio's Dead Body
In the quiet and now nearly abandoned church, Manuel holds the knife aloft, poised to plunge it into his sister's back as she kneels in prayer. But when he glances up at the image of the Virgen de Guadalupe, he stops, as if his arm is frozen. He shakes himself slightly and once more prepares to attack. Then he looks at an image of Jesus; again his hand is momentarily stayed. But it is only when he looks at the third image – the funeral portrait of Crescencio – that he really seems unable to continue.
Bam! The open panel on Grandpa Goat's coffin slams shut! As Ana Perla turns, startled by the noise, she sees her brother holding a knife and she begs him not to hurt her. He ignores her pleas. Instead, he chases her around the coffin, determined to finish what he came to do. Then he stops to lift up the panel and view his grandfather's face. His lunatic eyes widen – with what? with terror? with horror? – and he backs away. As he does so, his arm passes into the flames of the candle that burns for Crescencio and he cries out in pain. Ana Perla takes advantage of the moment to escape. Manuel stumbles after her into the night.
