Alicia continues becoming Malicia. Beto is pummeled from all sides. Augusto is still on the ascendant. Where is his anvil?

Did you hear that Google has abolished its slogan Do No Evil? Looks like Alicia is heading in that direction (the anti-do-no-evil direction). She starts by telling Chuchette her book is only suitable for the recycling bin, insults her and then sweetly imitates: "Oh, it was just a joke!"

Roberto is planning, again, to kidnap Mateo, who is properly doubtful (considering what happened the first time). And now it's worse: Sheila has been installed in a nice house with Mateo, Augusto is paying her well to be patient and pretend to be a mother, he has spies everywhere to ensure Roberto doesn't try anything. Gumaro tries to talk him out of it, too.

Braulio tells Brisa's dad: "General, my relationship with Brisa is epic!" Isidro reminds him: "You promised to win her back for me and I'll have a look at your movie." He ogles Chuchette. Turns out, the General has been ogling all the asses at Ikonika so Fatima blows him off when he compliments her later.

Antes Muerta que Lichita (no episode for friday, 2/12.. Univision covered the Pope's arrival to Mexico.)

Labels:


Antes Muerta Que Lichita #99 2/11/16: Alicia's Walks the Path that Will Lead to Another Sandra.

Fourth wall Alicia reminds us of her finding out many of Roberto's lies. Don Augusto puts on a very good "Omg how dare he face" while Alicia rants on. The omniscient Augusto is behind Mateo's quick adoption. Now Roberto has to cater to his whims in order to protect Alicia and Mateo.  Alicia tells us that she is changing (for the worst)...we see her throwing her dreams/ideals away literally. 

Augusto wants Roberto to help him with his side business. Augusto goes on about people rich people making a lot of money. He has a lot of clients who want to continue the benefits they were receiving when he was on the API president (I couldn't get the whole convo so if someone could explain this would be awesome!). 

Alex and Kenny are now now married. Bea invites them both to the house for a special dinner. Back at the house Alex states he has another surprise which causes her to tense up. But he assures her its a good thing...he now wants to take up the opportunity to go to Iconika USA. Alex worries about this since his father has all the shares. Bea told him that USA is out of Augusto's reach since her brother owns that portion.

Antes muerta que Lichita #98 2/10/16

Well, here we go. Sure hope we aren't getting a two for one tonight. And we didn't. It was a single episode!

At the Cafecito, Alicia is feeling bitchy and definitely not in the mood to talk to Magos or Ximena. Valeria comes over and lets Alicia know that she knows the real situation with Luciana and Roberto and Alicia. Luciana is not happy at all. Roberto is a good man. Alicia should talk to Roberto. It is better to know the truth than always have doubts. Alicia looks like she is thinking about that bit of advice.

Augusto and Roberto are still at it. Augusto tells him to distance himself from Alicia or she and Mateo will suffer the consequences. It is "free will" and up to Roberto to decide. Roberto does not believe that Augusto would do anything to hurt Alicia because Augusto wants her for himself. He has always had his eye on her: trying to seduce her, etc. He tells Augusto that the real reason he wants him away from Alicia is because he knows that he loves her and is capable of doing anything for her. Augusto asks him if he is more honest or more stupid admitting being in love with Alicia while being married to his daughter Luciana at the same time. Roberto better watch it or he will get to know Augusto as an enemy. Roberto tells Augusto that he and Alicia love each other. Really? Augusto makes sure that Roberto knows that Alicia sold him out. Roberto looks shocked. Augusto tells him to open his eyes. Roberto cannot believe it. Augusto repeats his threat: if he wants Mateo to be safe: distance himself from Alicia. Roberto demands that Augusto tell him how he ended up being Mateo's tutor. Roberto suggests Augusto only got involved as that so he could keep Roberto's hands tied and that he paid off Sheila. Roberto guessed right. Roberto wants to know how Augusto got legal power over his son: Augusto had all the legal connections that got Mateo taken from orphanage without a paper trail. He got it all done due to his experience with the adoption of some "monsters" in the past. In the middle of all this, Alicia calls. Augusto wants Roberto to answer. Roberto says he will distance himself from Alicia with the condition that Augusto not involve her in any of his shady business dealings. To show how magnanimous he can be, Augusto will give him that one concession. In turn Roberto will break it off with Alicia once and for all as only he Roberto can: by destroying her heart. Augusto just smirks through all of this. Roberto does not answer the call but texts Alicia and arranges a meeting tomorrow at her office. Alicia will give him the five minutes to find out what he wants to tell her about his past.

Lichita 2/9

Hey guys! it's a short recap today (I missed the first half of the show, so fill in if I missed something good!)... enjoy!

Alicia wants to move Jimena to a better school. Magos is against it, but Jimena is really excited!

Augusto is telling Beto all about how he needs to work for HIM and not the cops, when Draco brings in Mateo and Sheila... "the consequences for your heroism will fall on your kid."

Antes Muerta que Lichita #94 Thursday 2/4/16: Luciana Learns a Thing or Two but Dafne Outshines them All!

Alicia praises Santiago for how great he has been, almost like a prince, to her BUT she does not want to marry him. Santiago does not understand why when she just accepted his proposal. Alicia reasons that she felt pressured to accept his proposal since he did it in front of everyone...the media, her family...etc she had no other choice. Plus she does not think she is ready for marriage...she just wants to focus on her career right now. Santiago cuts to the chase...he wants to know the real reason for her rejection...is it her work or Roberto (ding ding ding). Alicia cannot deny her lingering feelings for Roberto but she tells Santiago that this decision has more to do with herself and no one else. At this point, Santiago feels hurt and abruptly leaves. Forth wall Alicia tells the audience of her doubts...was this really the right decision for her?

Antes muerta que Lichita #95 Feb 05, 2016. The bomb Santy dropped on Alicia worked. and Sheyla gave her a strong aftershock... Alicia confronts Rob.

THank you Jarifa for the notes... here is the recap..
Santy tells Alicia that he is doing this for her own wellbeing and safety (nose growing)… she looks at the file… she gets really upset… can’t believe Rob would do this.  Santy adds the bs that she will conquer the world with her beautiful eyes and smile.
Brisa and Braulio, she is saying words that sound like goodbye, she wishes him all the best and says Namaste (I see the light shining on you).  And leaves…
Augie tells Luciana and Roberto that he they WILL NOT get divorced… he does not know the reasons they want to divorce, but if Luciana wants to be officially recognized as his daughter, she will stay married… he will not have two divorces in the family at the same time … for them he wants them to continue married and, rather, give him two grandsons… NO GRANDDAUGHTERS, Two grandsons! 
Brisa is posting things in facebook about spreading her wings… Braulio comes in running worried asking why she is posting ‘goodbye’ words in the social media….  She just says she wants to start over elsewhere.
Elias gets up and tells Sandra that he is very happy they are back together… (they just made love)… Sandra gets up and tells him that what just happened was rather a ‘mistake’.
Roberto calls Alicia… tells her he is held up with the API guys and will be a while before he gets with them. A little later he texts her and she grinds through her teeth running out of patience.
Luciana rants at Augie about not wanting her to get divorced… Augie basically says ‘because I say so’.  She keeps wanting to know why… he says she is the only one that can give him a heir (heredero).
The Gutierrez are at a table in the Cafecito watching Corazon Enamorado while Valeria is working behind the counter.  Elsa, Magos and Nacho are discussing Alicia breaking up with Santy… Nacho and Elsa say Alicia should marry whoever she is in love with.
Roberto is on phone with SHeyla… he talks briefly with Mateo and tells SHeyla to take good care of Mateo.
Roberto then calls Alicia and tells her it will take a little longer, like half an hour for him to finish what he is up to. He reminds her he loves her.

Antes muerta que Lichita #93 Wednesday 2/3/16

DOUBLE EPISODE ALERT!

Do not be surprised if the recap is just as choppy as the episode. I never saw more commercials or "chops" in one hour!

Anyway, we begin with the proposal . . . Will Alicia accept????

It takes a few seconds but Alicia says Yes!!! (deep down she is not so sure). There are applause all around but not everyone is happy. Roberto is on the ground spitting out a mouth full of grass.  Elsa, Roberto and Nacho are all in bad moods over the engagement. Roberto gets drunk and knows what he has to do. He ends up taking his frustration out on Santiago with his fists when he sees Santiago kisses his fiancée Alicia. Finally, Roberto is escorted out of the party. The party is not what it was supposed to be and is over before it starts. Valeria and Alicia end up talking with Valeria listing the stresses Roberto is under including the situation with his son. Is he the son  for real?--asks Alicia.  Does he live with Luciana and Roberto? Where is he? Valeria tries to change the topic saying she has to call a taxi. Alicia will give her a lift. At Valeria's, Valeria offers to make a couple of matés to drink. Alicia looks around and finds a room all set up for a little boy complete with Mateo's picture.  She remembers Mateo from the orphanage. Why was he in an orphanage anyway?

After the party, Roberto ends up at the Gutiérrez house where Nacho makes him agree to forget about Alicia and Roberto offers his help with the con man. Elsa wants to know what con man. Nacho shushes Roberto and starts crying when Elsa twists his ear. Roberto then is back at the mansion singing out his woes with Gumaro accompanying him on the guitar.

Lichita 2/2: A wedding and a barfing

I want to start out by reiterating how bored I've gotten with our Alicia. Since they made her "hot," she's become incredibly bland. Her facial expressions have become so much more stiff and grumpy-looking and she's lost any vestige of playfulness! Her "transformation" has sucked a lot out of this show, sadly. Let's hope she gets it back!

Beto has a flashback to the vile Vladimir boasting about assaulting an innocent 15-year-old girl. He snaps and beats the crap out of him and gets in trouble for it. The jail people believe Vladimir's story of the events. The warden's line: "what, it's not my job to find anything out."

Afterwards, Vladimir goes back to threats. "You may be the famous panther in here, but out there I can do what I want, and I'll seek out whatever family you've got and make trouble for them." Threats are made.

Antes muerta que Lichita February 1: Alicia starts to turn into Sandra. Dafne is highly sought after. Gumaro has butterflies in his stomach.

We enter in the awkward glam party where the famous video (the one Lichita went into the pool after) (the one with the non-glam pre-makeover Lichita tearfully excoriating Ikonika) is playing to a dumbstruck audience. Well, sufficed to say present day smooth talking Alicia talks her way out of it on stage and gets a big hand from everyone. Augusto and Bea are impressed.

Dafne catches Gumaro poking around in Augusto's study and is unimpressed with his explanations which are as lame as you'd expect. Seems she doesn't like him much now that she knows he's fooling around with her half-sister Luciana. She says she'll save this tidbit of wrongdoing to rat him out with at the right moment.

Antes muerta que Lichita, 29 Jan 2016... Alicia is victim of another prank with a video of her own face and voice... Augie and Sandra have another Face off... Beto and Vladimir meet again but someone slipped her tongue a bit


Santy has no choice but to confirm that he dealt with Augusto: doing the marketing for ALL his brands in exchange for Alicia being the General Director of Iconika.  Alicia of course takes it the worst way possible (you bought that title for me!)  Roberto tries to twist the knife but she gets mad at him as well. She leaves in a huff, Santy repeats to Beto (Roberto) that what he did, he did for love for Ali (Alicia).
Luciana, Nestor and Shush, as usual, are planning and are at the same time clueless about what is going on.
Santy approaches Ali, apologizes to her. She is irritated that he was not honest with her, same sin Beto is carrying.  Santy tells Augie that he made the deal offer due to her talents in the job, not only for his feelings. He wanted to see her progress/climb and he wanted to celebrate her accomplishments with her.  He holds her hands and repeats to her that what he did, he did for love for her.   He tells her that when he told Augie about the deal, Augie had told him that the front runner for the job was already Alicia.  HE wants her to stop trying to justify her job to others, she deserves to be where she is.   Please!!   Alicia calms down a bit and tells him that she did not expect something like this from him.  She did not want to be treated like a commodity.  She did not want to feel like she owed him something.  He never meant for her to take it like that.  She says they have to practice some forgiveness… (she is no longer mad at him by now… and this is not making Beto happy (loved his facial smirk to let us know that)
At the cafecito, Makos is talking to a client who stutters a bit… Elsa and Nacho are spying from the counter.  HE notices that, so does she.  He tries to set up a date between them.  Magos, to his dismay, is definitely interested in their date.  She tells him about Ximena and have to arrange for someone to watch her. The guy offers to bring Ximena along.
Beto approaches Ali, tells her that her anger at her boyfriend did not last long at all.  She is now mad at him. She tells him she was about to make the same mistake all over again of throwing everything down the tubes to be with him.  She reminds him that now he is married.  He gets mad and tries to yank his wedding band off his finger.
Ximena has her reservations about their ‘three-some’ date.  She seems to get along with the guy pretty good.  But first they have to watch a princesses movie on her laptop. LOL! (that’s what I call the test of a step parent to-be)
Elias is at same table as Bea, he asks her why she picked Ali for Director.  Bea praises Alicia as a woman who keeps her values/priorities in place and that is priceless for her. She turns around toward Augie and Luciana at another table and adds ‘I am talking about loyalty!’
Shush makes the presentation of Augie as the speaker.  Augie starts his speech.  He is talking about what the API represents, marketers committed to the families… yada yada… (seems to me from Augie’s speech he is no longer THAT excited about Beto being the API PRez).
All of a sudden Sandra is there, taking over the spotlight from Augie.  HE is angry grinding his teeth as he whispers to her.

Karmageddon Discussion: Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse 11/26/16

Let's make pasta primavera and open some vino for this one because we deserve it.

It's time to figure out what tricks the Televisa writers will pull on us this time. After what happened with Mi Corazón es Tuyo I am seriously concerned that most of the nasties of this series will get off without any relevant punishment, but we can at least vent here about what should happen to them. Let's start with the queen of the lot:

Antes Muerta que Lichita #89 Thursday 1/28/16. "Tantrums, Entitlement & Other Revelations"

Lets jump right in:

Sheila calls Roberto out to the park to figure out why he blew them off the other day. Roberto reveals that he was confronted by someone whom he did not want them to meet. I'm sure by now she is wondering why she did not just use a cell phone like a normal person if she wanted to chat. Roberto makes her outing a little worthwhile by offering to buy her out in exchange of giving up custody of Mateo. It does not take Sheila long to realize that this is a good preposition for her but first she must consult with her partner in crime. Roberto sneakily attempts to set up a meeting with this partner of hers but Sheila is smarter than she looks and does not fall for this trick.

We assume time passes as we get a montage of scenes where Roberto teaches an uninterested Luciana the tricks of the trade, Braulio and Alicia start moving in to their new apartment. Bea and Elias seem to be forming a friendship as Elias spends time teaching her about Iconika.

There are a long list of flaws which are highlighted every 
episode so there is no need to rehash.

Antes muerta que Lichita #88 Wednesday 1/27/16. "Santiago Seals his Fate in a Deal with the Devil"

Picking up just where we left off . . .

Roberto and Alicia are discussing the general director position and how he is backing Luciana for that job and working against Alicia. She needs to remember that Luciana is the daughter of the owner. Alicia says that Luciana at the helm would be the worst possible thing to happen to Icónika. Roberto adds that it would be the best for Alicia. She wants to know what he meant by that.

At Icónika, Augusto talks with Elías who tells him to not beat around the bush and just tell him what he wants. Augusto wants him to be an adviser to his wife soon to be ex-wife Beatriz. Elías looks puzzled.

In the board room Valeria continues to serve the coffee and chit chat with everyone there to their delight. Someone actually says the mother is so much nicer than the daughter. Luciana hurries Valeria out of with the coffee cart. Chuchette tries to get them all involved in an "interaction" exercise. She wants them to repeat "I can!"

Roberto and Alicia are still discussing nose to nose. They almost kiss. Roberto throws Alicia having a millionaire boyfriend in her face: she doesn't have time for everything, right? Roberto leaves. Alicia says to herself that she is going to show everybody that if anyone deserves that position it is she. She opens the door and calls Roberto a jerk.

Lichita, 12/26: STUPID ANTENNA!!!

Augusto puts Nestor on the spot about his supposed wife Magdalena. Nestor squirms and says he'll call her right now to prove to everyone that she's real. 

Then some guy in a suit (new to me) catches Beto at the playground watching Mateo. And that's when the recording died! Seriously, I need a new solution (I've bean using a Mohu leaf antenna, which often works perfectly but sometimes just gives NOTHING AT ALL like today). 

Could any of you please help out a poor blogger with some details from today?

Thanks!!!

I did catch a snippet of Augusto trying to give Beto a lesson on manipulating people. As we know, Beto is already an expert in this.

Antes muerta que Lichita #86 Monday 1/25/16

And the story continues . . . With a little of this and a little of that . . . .

At Icónika, Augusto, as well as Roberto, congratulates Santiago and Alicia. Santiago leaves.Everyone is off to the conference room for a meeting. Chuchette and Néstor are just shocked that Alicia is now with Santiago!!!! Néstor is so shocked he is ready to use the "just shoot me" verb. Fátima just smiles. Through a conversation with his right hand man Félix, we find out that Santiago has a surprise for Alicia after the meeting. Turns out Santiago is concerned that eventhough Allicia told her coworkers she is going out with hm, he really does not know how she feels about him. He is determined to make her forget her ex.

Braulio tells Brisa he and Alicia are going to be roomates.

Announcement at the meeting: Roberto is new president of API. Who will be the next general director of Icónika? Alicia supposes it will be Alex. Augusto makes sure they all know that will never happen. Augusto goes over the requirements for the position. Alicia reminds him that Beatriz will also be deciding. He agrees that Beatriz will have to agree on the choice. He then announces that he himself Augusto will be taking over the position for the time being. He has extra time now he is not involved in API.

Antes muerta que Lichita #85 Friday 1/22/16

Well, here we go!

We are starting out with returning to Alicia and Santiago at their dinner date where Santiago is promising Alicia he will do all he can to help her get over Roberto. She adds that it is a lost cause already between her and Roberto because he is already married. Santiago sees the marriage as the least of the problems because not everybody marries for love: people marry for all sorts of reasons. Alicia's cell phone suddenly rings and it is a very distraught Dafne on the other end telling Alicia that she just cannot take it anymore and also asking her to come over please. Santiago keeps looking over his shoulder to see what Roberto is doing. (He better keep looking over his shoulder.

Of course, Magos' party is out of control and she has done nothing to bring it back under control being as immature and goofy as she is. It seems like the police have arrived. Her friends think that is great because they will get everyone under control. Magos has to remind them that they all could be in hot water with no licenses for parties and their "crooked" business they are running. Pau and Gerry try to make a run for it but Magos drags them back.

Back at the restaurant, Luciana wants to talk about Santiago and Alicia. Roberto tries to get her back on track to talk about themselves. Roberto wants to talk about not being able to live forever at the mansion. Luciana wants his support for her to returning to work at Icónika. Her main reason is so that he will see she is so much more talented than Alicia and she is back to talking about how much she hates Alicia.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #84 1/21/16: Reasons Why Alicia Should Switch to Team Santiago

This is me making an attempt to apply logic to Univision's scheduling antics. Monday was double episode, Tuesday reverted to single episode and another double episode on Wednesday. Shall I take a guess and assume today was a single episode? Who knows I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than predicting the behaviors of the powers that be in Univision. 

Mexico Capitulo #98

Alicia sees Santiago and wonders if he was here for a while, he replies more or less. She then asks if he heard everything...he gives her the same more or less answer. Alicia believes she has some explaining to do but makes the situation worse the more she opens her mouth. She tries to explain that the only way to get the actors of Corazon Enamorado to shoot the commercial was to partake in a romantic scene with Roberto as the body doubles for the bickering costars. Alicia spends much denying and protesting but Santiago patiently waits for her to shut her boca so he can surprise her with a flower. Santiago does not need any explanations. He just wanted to surprise he with a flower before heading back to work.

Reason 1: He knows how to properly woo a girl. Jealousness is below him.

Antes muerta que Lichita #83 Wednesday 1/20/16

Looks like they are keeping up with the double episodes. This was  our third this week.BTW, I will fill in for Marta on Friday.

After the kiss, Alicia tells Santiago she is open to also having a personal relationship with him as long as they keep work and their personal lives separate. Santiago talks about himself wanting to get married and have children. It also turns out he is not a one trick pony. He has several businesses: Peoples' Café, a restaurant chain, a few boutique hotels and he a partner in a real estate firm.

At the park, Roberto tries to explain to Mateo how much he wants to be with him andhow much he loves him. Mateo quotes his mother: she told him that if a person REALLY wants to do something, they will find a way to do it. His mother left her "super heroine" job for him but Roberto refused to. Roberto accuses Sheila of lying to Mateo about him. She sees it all differently. He wants to know if she is hanging around with another criminal just like her. She takes exception with that. The guy she is with is not like him. Roberto says he has changed. He is a married man and successful. She has had enough of Roberto. He wants to spend some time with Mateo there at the park. Sheila decides it is time to go.

At the mansion, Gumaro and Luciana have done the deed and we see them all happy with themselves in her bed. Luciana tells him he can call her "tú" when they are not out in public. They hear Dafne in the mansion so Gumaro hides. Later outside at the bonsai station, Gumaro is feeling guilty so he tells Luciana he is quitting. She feels guilty, too, being "very" married. We hear her say not to rush; not to quit until he has another job. That is just what she told him yesterday. We have come full circle. They are kissing again.
