Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/7/18 Chapter 67/68/69: Manipulation Is the Name of Their Game
Exlena and Toy Boy are partying heartily at The Club. However, Toy Boy isn’t quite high enough apparently. The next possible Mr. Right offers her something probably very wrong in the way of illegal substance which she has enough sense left at this point in the evening to refuse. However, she is taken by the moment and swept away by a need for romance--and Toy Boy’s deep tongue probes. (Blechhhh!)

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/6/18 Chapter 66/67 Miercoles: Family Affairs
- Alejandra and Ricardo discussed ending their relationship for the sake of his children.

He said that being that close to her would provide too much temptation for him.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/5/18 Chapter 65: Are You In Or Out?
The next morning Alejandra is on the phone with Carlos. She comments at how upsetting and unfortunate the former attorney's murder was. Carlos plays along and suggests it must have been somebody getting even with her or gangsters' justice (ajustar cuentas - a murder by mobsters in a gang war). He eventually manages to dissuade her from assisting with the case.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/1/18 Chapter 63: Love in a Time of Cholera Morbus*
*Cholera Morbus = A gastrointestinal disturbance characterized by griping……[Courtesy of Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary. There’s more, but it’s irrelevant for my purposes.]
What does Love have to do with IT?
Carlos loves money. He says he loves Ale, for whatever reason benefits him most.
Fer isn't in love with Mi Johnnie anymore even though she promised not to be one of those jealous girlfriends.
Oli is on the edge of falling in love with a man who presents himself as a decent, though deadly dull, caballero.
Alan is already in love and ready to settle down, hopefully with Oli. Or is it a smoke screen hiding an evil (or hapless) alter ego?
Leo is "professionally" jealous of Alan's attentions for reasons his colleagues find credible but counsel him not to share them with Oli.
Victoria is in denial she's already in love with Roberto but won't take the next step with Vega's resident Lothario. Flirting is sufficient to keep him within range.
Roberto loves Victoria and is chomping at the bit to make love to her.
Leti and Benji are still in lust. (Ooops they just got caught again by Carmencita.)
Ale and Ric the Bric-a-Brac must pretend they're not in love for the children's sake.
Elena loves to hurt Ric and her children.
Elena loves her tequila.
Ric hates Carlos (and Elena).

New Telenovela: Corazón Que Miente, Starts Monday June 4, 11 AM (EDT)
Por desgracia, Corazón que Miente is coming to DAYTIME Univision (otherwise known as the vast Wasteland to where second tier telenovelas are banished when they don't fit into the nighttime schedule). Tune in at 11 am or set your DVR.
Synopsis: Mariela Salvatierra is orphaned at the age of 12, after losing her grandfather, Manuel, a death she believes was caused by Demian Ferrer. Mariel leaves the city with Leonardo del Río. Leonardo believes Demian is also the murderer of Lucía, Demian's wife (and the love of Leonardo's life). Fifteen years later, the two return to avenge the deaths of their loved ones while facing great obstacles. Ferrer is a powerful, unprincipled and perfidious man who not only takes pleasure in others' downfalls, but also does not care about the well being of his own family. Mariela falls in love with Demian's eldest son, Alonso, with whom she was friends as a child. Mariela and Alonso must overcome all the challenges that impede their relationship in order to live their story of love. [Adapted from Wikipedia]

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/31/18 Chapter 62: The Rules of the Game
⦁ And, while this is going on, Sonia notices it's Carlos who's the crook's mouthpiece and this is a totally odd type of case for him to have messed with. Once Carlos has Crazy Dude released, he tells Mr. Clean that El Ciego is never to "invite" himself unannounced either to his home or his office like that again. He can call him. Mr. Clean tells him that El Ciego is a bit old fashioned and will be put out when he hears this. El Ciego only makes visits in person. "--Are you threatening me?" "--No. Just telling you the rules of the game." "--Yeah? Well, it's to tamp down any suspicions."

- Elena told Alejandra in no uncertain terms that she did not want Ricardo near her children.
“I don't want any father near my children who doesn't worry about them when it's so easy for him to abandon them for just any woman.”
“Don't be such a manipulator,” was Alejandra's reply.
“Does it look alright that they saw him [???] with another woman?”
“I'd like to talk to them.”

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/29/18 Chapter 60: A Very Vega Version
“Elena is a woman off her rocker!” Ricardo has reached his limit with her. She’s unmasked herself in front of Ric The Brick's entire legal family. Of course, Benjamin gets off a cheap shot about couldn't you've guessed and gotten out ahead of this? It's your specialty, after all. He smiles knowingly at Leticia who’s also put in her three and a half cents’ worth of finger pointing and claiming her BFF, Vexlena's “got a possible good reason for this, HUH?” before Gustavo shuts her down and puts her in her place. Still, Elexlena and Company have done just enough to drag Ric over the coals a bit more serving him so publicly in front of the entire law firm.
However, the Vega Family closes ranks and it becomes A Very Vega Vision vitiating Vexlena's new found legal strategy. Alonso says they’re in the tank with Ric and will help him overcome this injusticia. Viewerville has flashbacks of the Brady Bunch ala Mexico, now all grown up and legal beagles for Firm Vega, El Justiciero. Visions of viewing the Brady Bunch's Mexican cousins: The Vega Family on the legal march for one of its own. “--One for all and all for one!!”—Oooops. Sorry, that’s a different vision and the next country over, and a few centuries in the past.

@T.O.P.S.I.M.C. (The Only Police Station in Mexico City):
Curly-top Vicente has got himself a Curly-Top Lawyer who squares off with Carlos muy bien. No one seems to have much evidence, but then it's not that kind of show.
Carlos: Your client killed the minor character!
CTL: My client says YOUR client killed the minor character!
Carlos: My client says otherwise!
CTL: Well, DUH.
Vicente: I don't wanna go to jail!
CTL: It will only be for a short time.
Carlos: It will be for a wicked LONG time.
CTL: Let's go outside and hold an impromptu press conference where we say the same things, but with more head-tossing and nostril-flaring.
Carlos: Only if I can manspread all over the microphone.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/24/18 Chapter 57: Life's Surprises Come In All Sizes
• Ricardo and Alejandra finally spend the night together and in the same bed. (Viewerville was taking bets on whether he’d catch Ale’s zipper in that beautiful lace dress, but something tells me high maintenance Elena had trained him well!)
• On the other side of town, Fer stayed asleep on the couch and Juan beside her. She wakes up probably close to midnight and he wakes then also and walks her home. Not to worry, his mama called hers and explained already.
• At the scene of Imelda’s attempted murder, Alan and Carlos piece together the probable facts to the pictures. Alan discovers some pomade that’s used for new tattoos in her room along with a diary/journal of sorts. Carlos looks around and determines that Vicente’s DNA should be found on the drapery cord then it’s a slam dunk about the boy’s murder. However, why would he attempt to kill them; there has to be some reason.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/23/18 Chapter 56 Miercoles: Traps
- Alonso told off Marrufo, telling him that as soon as the rapists are sent to prison so will he. Marrufo – arrogant as usual – denied this, in the full belief that he was bullet-proof. Jaime told him that when he acquitted the rapists he abused their victim. He insisted that Alexa's accusations were false, which Alonso reminded him was not proven in his courtroom. Marrufo took out his cell, saying he was calling his lawyer. He thoroughly believed that he would get out of this cesspool of corruption.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/22/18 Chapter 55: Justice Comes A-knockin'
• While Ricardo and Alejandra contemplate taking his kids to the amusement park, they enjoy a bit of diversionary lip-smacking themselves in his office.
• Juanito is whining to his mother that he’s got too much to do to stay at home and have breakfast. Just then there’s a knock at the door. It’s Fer and nope, she hasn’t had breakfast either. They discuss her staying up all night and searching for some clue on the net about dead “dancer” Patricia’s missing-in-action boyfriend, Pedro. And, well, she found an old resume still up on the net with a photo of him on it. (See, Johnny. Sometimes Mama does know best!) Happy, happy! Joy, joy!! Juanito attaches a “my love” to his excited comments. Fer smiles that it’s the first time he’s done that. They celebrate with a loving lip-lock as, we assume, Mama approves in the background.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/21/18 Chapter 54 Lunes: Greed
- Leonardo and Roberto succeeded in getting injunctions pending appeal on the three rapists who escaped justice. They thanked Sonia who told them that this was exactly what happened when they appealed Carlos Ibarra's case. She considered him guilty; Leonardo reminded her that he was released due to lack of hard evidence. They told her that they are coming up with a new suspect list, which includes Tatiana. She was a bit incredulous at this as Tatiana had been a prosecution witness, but they met her halfway by suggesting that they get Carlos to surrender his passport until the case is concluded. She was satisfied with this and said she would issue the appropriate orders.

She was sure they had what it would take to win the case. He asked if she would like to go out to eat after cout and she said she would love to. He kissed her on the cheek and she laughed flirtatiously before going inside.

Ahhh! Mating season has finally arrived at Vega and Associates. A bit of the long-awaited pre-rut buck rattle ensues to much of Viewerville's delight. (Those of us who've been snoozing along have finally awoken to the real joys of telenoveladom which this tn has sorely disabused us of to this point.)
⦁ Isabel gives in to Gustavo's suggestion he can stay in the guestroom after an evening of playing video games with Luis. (Luis has definitely got game here.)
⦁ Carlos has set up his
⦁ Vicki starts the court hearing about the deadbeat dad who claims he doesn't have a job let alone a bank account. (Really?? What does he do all day with himself then? Beg off the streets? Wash windshields for pesitos?)

- Alejandra told her female colleagues – the ones she could trust – that Carlos had deceived her with another woman the night before the wedding while Ricardo was selfish. She was unable to deal with either of them at this stage. Olivia didn't think that this was a fair comparison. Victoria didn't want to argue the point and Alejandra was determined never to be hurt again.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/11/18 Chapter 49: Loose Lips
...and the gang's all there (except Alonso, who has never once had fun in his entire life.) They spend the whole evening talking to each other, so it would have been way cheaper to buy a bottle and go to someone's house, but there probably wouldn't have been enough rooms for all the breakout sessions.
Conversations have been paraphrased for underlying intent.
***
Vic: I hate to butt in, DIMWIT, but Ale broke up with Carlos like ages ago. What are you waiting for?
Ric: QUE QUE QUE? But Carlos told me everything was hunky-dory!
Vic: And you believed him? What kind of a lawyer are you? (Not paraphrased; she actually said that. Gotta love Victoria.)
***
Oli: It's so nice to be out! I've had an irrational fear of nightclubs since The Thing.
Leo: I won't let anything bad happen to you! I can promise that because I have taken off my glasses and am now Superman!
Oli: Ooo let me hug you with inappropriate clinginess.
