Mentir Para Vivir #84 Tue 2/4/14 Just Lie Back and Think of England

Hoping to get him drunk, Raquel pours drinks down Jose Luis so that she can take advantage of his size 15 feet.  She wants him to give up the booty.  Has she no shame?  She wants to discuss the wedding, but he’s only interested in the CD.  She won’t give it back because it’s her only guarantee that he will marry her and give RaquelMary’s baby a name.  She will give it to him as a gift after they marry.  They begin to argue.  Outside, Lucina hears yelling and bangs on the door.  Jose Luis refuses to discuss the wedding or her possible executive position with the real estate company until she returns the CD.  He threatens to tear the house apart!  Lucina yells that she will call the police.  He shoves Raquel aside and marches out the door.  Lucina runs into the apartment and the two women embrace.  Raquel realizes that Jose Luis only interested in the CD.

Mentir Para Vivir #83 Mon 2/3/14 The kidnapper was wearing heels and had highlights

This is going to be a short recap, unfortunately. I'm terribly sleepy and a difficult day awaits me tomorrow. Besides, nothing important really happened.
...
Later edit: 3 hours of sleep later.... I'm up, starting my day. I should be out the door right about now, but I remembered I had forgotten to add the date to the recap title, so ... here I am (The the "Being a recaper" Files)

Homero is explaining to the judge who Ines Valdivia and Francisco Castro truly are. The two go way back, Homero knows all about the judge's dirty laundry and isn't above blackamiling him. The judge agrees not to investigate Mariloca’s accusation about the fake identities, but the little girl will have to go to an orphanage.

On the phone with Sam, JL is upset because he can’t talk with Joaquin; also, why does he have to be spied on by John, the new “Mike”? Sam asks JL to deal with it and Oriana hears part of the fight and asks JL what is going on. He says that getting out of the business is not as easy as he thought and now he has someone watching his every move, too.

Lila, Mady and Tony, or the Trio of the Greedy, talk about the investment in the new Real Estate Business. Even if Ric doesn’t want the association to happen, Tony thinks it would serve both he and Paloma right, for the way they always treated Mady and Lila. Francisco Castro becoming an associate at Aresti Breton is the perfect revenge. Lila and then Mady shake on it and get ready to sign the contract.

Alina is enjoying a bunch of presents in her room with Oriana, until Jose Luis shows up; the child’s attitude changes, so JL leaves the room. Alina says that she wants to go back home, she misses Fabi, Tito and a bunch of other people that I believe are the servants.

Mentir Para Vivir #82 Fri 1/31/14 Hiding in Plain Sight


capítulo 82 

Lo Del Pasado:

Mad Malibu de Marilu has spitefully just opened the ID theft/false identity can of worms that everyone else had been hoping to avoid during this entire adoption farce.  Hopefully she will be eventually taken to the woodshed by none other than Joaquin Barrago himself!  Ricardo wants to slap the stupid b!tch silly and fights to keep his cool as she gives the judge the skinny on the Falcon/Caligaris name change and marital connection.

Lo Del Nuevo:

The judge realizes that Ric and ML are not the sweet, sensible, loving newlyweds they’d pawned themselves off as earlier.  According to Mala-boo Marilu, Ric and 2nes are lovers; 2nes is a criminal and a home-wrecker; and she’s still married to another crook who also is using a false identity: Sr. Francisco Castro!  The judge decides that while he investigates the situation further, Alina will have to be sent for her own welfare into the state foster system [casa hogar=orphanage], which will be a fate worse than death, apparently, for Oriana and little Lina, not to mention Paloma.  Once the interview with the judge is finished, Ric tells Marilu that he’s starting divorce proceedings the next day first thing and she and her crutches can find their own way back to Fidelia’s.  He heads over to Paloma’s to give Oriana the bad news.

Weekend Discussion: Controlling Mothers, Part II

Maternal Monsters, Part II

There are way more of these than perhaps any other female villain because they can play so many cards in the game of control. Guilt, money, religion; even sex isn't exempt from their repertoire in their attempts to control their teen or adult children. I was hoping to compile another Dirty Dozen, but some of these are so spectacularly evil it just couldn't wait. Please provide any more details if you can.

Mentir Para Vivir #81 Thu 1/30/14 Acusar para Arruinar

Fidelia gives Marilu a hard time, asking if she's still drunk from last night, but Inésiana is more than willing to get down on her knees, if that's what it takes to get her daughter back.  Fidelia stops her from doing it and threatens to tell the judge that Marilu is a drunk.  Marilu says that she's got plenty of things to tell the judge herself.  Fidelia tells Inésiana that she has no idea what happened to Marilu and wonders if someone can really go crazy from one day to the next.

Once Inésiana is gone, Fidelia calls Ric to report on Marilu.  She's worried that if Marilu doesn't get what she wants, she might start to take things out on Alina.  Pobre de Fidelia, first Maria, then Sebastian, and now Marilu. She thinks maybe they ought to call either Mariano or Dr. Veronese to exorcise the demon or medicate her.  Or maybe both.  Piero tells Ric that he saw Marilu last night in a bar drinking with some guy and that in her inebriated state, she told him that Inésiana can take the kid, but she wants to keep Ric.  Piero still has the guy's card.

Mentir Para Vivir #80 Wed 1/29/14 Cupid takes one of Leo’s arrows and aims it right at his heart; Sabe meets his velvet lined anvil (?)


Las Brujas y El Zorro
Matidle and Lila meet JL at swanky restaurant.  The ladies order drinks, but JL responsibly orders mineral water, cuz well, you know why. 

Casa de Paloma
Ricky and Ori discuss Marilu’s sudden change of heart (as Ori precariously navigates the stairs).  Ricky worries that the social worker may not give a good report to the judge who could keep Alina away from Ori.  She doesn’t want that to happen, she wants custody back now.  She’s really afraid of JL.  Ricky says this could mean another fight.  Ori is tired of arguing and resorts to her oft-repeated suggestion that maybe they just need to stop seeing each other – again.  Ricky tells her Mari-coo-coo can’t keep him from visiting his madrina who happens to be the major investor.  Ori worries this will put a bee in her bonnet and then she’ll go blab to the judge that the marriage is a sham and Ricky and Ori are having relations.  Ricky tells her to calm down and take one step at a time.  First, she must go to the judge to request custody of Alina.  That’s a given.  Now if JL protests, they’ll have to figure out how to defend themselves.  She is now Ines Valdivia   Egads – copy/paste time.  You know the drill:  If JL admits he’s Falcon, he’s cooked and as Francisco Castro, they never married.  He reminds her they agreed they’d be in this fight together to the bitter end and asks her not to give up now.   They’re smooching as Ruben shows up to visit Cesar.  He doesn’t say much but they stop smooching as Ruben heads upstairs.  Ricky assures Ori everything will turn out ok.  He tells her about Leo’s godfather’s suicide.

Mentir Para Vivir #79 Tue 1/28/14 The Three Faces of Sybilu

Mentir Para Vivir #78 Mon 1/27/14 La Impostora is busted; Maddy's head explodes again

And here is the recap, in all its glory.
I apologize for the delay, this turned out to be a pretty good episode.




Alina is with the school psychologist, talking about her father. She is scared of him because he stopped laughing and playing with her as he used to do before, now he’s serious all the time. The doctor asks her to draw a picture of her family, Tito included, but Alina says that if she draws her dad, too, it would have to be while he’s kicking Tito in the behind. Such a great memory should be immortalized, so, go for it!

Mariano and Oriana are on the phone, talking about the religious service they should prepare for Homero, even if he’s not truly dead. Mariano feels that something is wrong with her and invites her to have a cheap lunch together the next day. She’s happy to share her worries with him. After he hangs up Mariano remembers that he totally loved her back when he was a member of the Plaid Brotherhood of Hermosillo.He hopes his hormones won't get the best of him when they meet.

Alina goes to see Oriana at Paloma’s after school. She shows her the picture she drew of their family (with JL included); she’s still afraid of her dad, though.

Mentir Para Vivir #76 Thu 1/23/14 Secuestrar para Nada

Francisco is nervous as hell about whether the kidnap plan went off without a hitch.  Mike hears him talking to Antonio, but probably can't pick up much from that end of the conversation, except the question about where Ric's being held.

Antonio's goons haul Ric to a cabin in the woods where a sweet old grandma is apparently used to this kind of houseguest.  They brush off Ric's offer to pay whatever money they ask.  Head thug wants Ric's fancy phone with GPS left alone.  Grandma gets a little cash to buy groceries with.

Dr. Veronese was summoned to the hospital when Matilde was brought in.  They pumped her stomach, but there's no way she ingested enough pills to have killed her.  Dr. V thinks Matilde needs some therapy, though.  "Clearly she has issues and she's not going to quit trying to emotionally blackmail you."  Ruben is so pissed he wishes Matilde would actually do it right next time. Dr. V tells the kids to please convince their mom to get some help.  Since Inésiana is there, Dr. V asks about how Francisco is doing and tells her that alcohol does NOT mix well with his meds.  He tells her to get Francisco to see him.

Mentir Para Vivir #75 Wed 1/22/14 Hold off on the Baby Shower gifts for RaquelMary’s bebé as we enter Ultimas Semanas



Bundle of Joy, er what?!?
Un bebé? Un bebé? Estas loca!? Raquel tells him she is most assuredly preggers.  Yeah, well there may be a baby, but it’s not mine.  Who knows who’s baby that is because he’s sure he always used protection (preservativo).  She tells him she hasn’t slept with anyone else and even condoms can fail.  He refuses to accept this.  She tries, and fails, to get his attention by repeating she is preggers.  “If you want the job I’m offering, abort!”  She’s shocked to hear he would want her to abort his child.  He repeats, adamantly, “NO ES MI HIJO!!”  Raquel foolishly threatens to tell Oriana.  He pounces.  Grabbing her by the throat, he assures her that if she breathes even one word of this to anyone, she can fuhget about the depa, el coche, not to mention the presidenta job!  He throws her aside and storms out with her screaming after him, “Eres un imbecil!  UN IMBECIL!!!”

Mentir Para Vivir #74 Tue 1/21/14 You've Been Boinking the Biggest Skank in Town and You Didn't Even Catch a Computer Virus From Her?


Santa Dominga:  Oriana hears the door creek open and quickly turns off the bedside lamp.  Her head hits the pillow and she pretends to be comatose.  It seems that Jose Luis has been drinking tequila, slurping oysters and listening to Barry White songs all evening.  He is now in the mood for a night of love.  He’s knows that she’s not sleeping; he saw the light go out and he will not be swayed.  Suddenly, the falcon swoops!  Somehow, Oriana finds the strength to fight him off.  Confused, he mentally reviews the effectiveness of his mating technique.  He’s got a Richard.  Check.  He’s aroused.  Check.  Why isn’t she?  It’s a mystery.  He smells his armpits.  It must be his deodorant.  He’s irresistible; he’s certain of it.  Next, he resorts to begging.  I’m horny and little Jose Luis needs your help, he says.  He shoots puppy dog eyes at her.  Oriana springs from the bed and pulls a white silk robe over her Victoria Secret lingerie that scarcely covers her heaving pale bosoms.  She says that she's getting the heck out of Dodge City and heading back to her grandmother’s house.  The fox springs up and drags her back to the bed to be ravaged! Just when looks like he is about to take her by force, he stops when she declares that she will hate him forever!  Her words immediately deflate little Jose Luis, ummmm his ego.  After dismounting from her, he goes to her purse, removes her identification and leaves.  Shaken and crying, she lies sprawled in bed.  A little while later, he returns in a sarcastic mood.  He's looking for his medication.  Oriana, is still lounging in bed wearing man tempting Victoria Secret wings.  He finds it and leaves her alone for the night.

Mentir Para Vivir #73 Mon 1/20/14 “Have you taken your pills?” “Have you taken your pills?” “Have you taken your pills?”



It's not a broken record, it's only Oriana yapping her mouth all day long.


Madhilde joins Cesar and Fabiola at the table and asks the servant for her lunch. After briefly inquiring Cesar about his work and probably figuring out there is not much that she can complain about when it comes to him, she starts on Fabiola: what are you going to do, when will you get married, yada yada yada. As Cesar speaks up for his sister, Fabiola herself says to mommy dearest that if she has nothing nice to say, she better shut up. This rubs Maddy the wrong way – she is her mother, how dare she talk like that? Again Cesar steps in, warns Maddy that he came back to Paloma’s to protect Fabi (so Maddy lives there, too?); she was never a good mother, she enjoys humiliating others too much, especially them, her kids. Then, they both get up and go, leaving Maddy with her usual cara de indignada.

Oriana is on the phone with Marilu, who assures her that Alina is well taken care off and very much loved. Oriana thanks her for all that she is doing and asks Mari to tell Ric that Berenice, the nurse, will come to attend Seb.

Mentir Para Vivir #72 Fri 1/17/14 I Confess! The Road To My Personal Hell Was Paved With My Greedy Intentions!




Lo Del Pasado:

Fabiola and Piero get the news from her OB that she’s HIV positive and she goes into shock.  She might as well have Leprosy, and she very well knows it.  (Thank you, Sebastardo, for spreading the cheer.)   

Lo Del Nuevo:

Outside the hospital Piero tries comforting Fabiola despite the bad news.  She knows she’s a carrier [portadora] and knows she can no longer have a normal love life.  He tells her pshah!  With the right precautions, one can.  After all, she’s only known to have the virus; it’s not all-out AIDS yet.  Besides, love isn’t just sex…..[Sorry, but I don’t believe “platonic love” is quite the same, let alone worth the effort.)  Piero is desperate enough to offer himself up for the “sacrifice”, to be her lover and a sick baby’s father.  (You’re a better man than [most] am, Gunga Din!)  Just then Ric rings Piero on the cell, and he’s guessed she’s got the virus.  Piero confirms it. 
Ric says there’ll be a family meet up at Paloma’s and to bring her there.

Fidelia is pissed at Ricardo for not telling her that he got a butt whoopin'.  She's glad they got Alina away from Francisco and reluctantly agrees not to talk smack about him in front of the kid.  Paloma calls Ric to see how he's doing.  They're both feeling a little down this morning.  Unfortunately, Mariano is in Chihuahua, so he can't be there to console her.  Fidelia, feeling feisty, declares she'll go visit Paloma and screw what that uppity Matilde thinks about it.  Ricardo tries to call somebody…Inésiana?...whose phone is disconnected.

Inésiana and Alina have a tearful goodbye at school.  She asks when she'll see Tito and begs Nurse Berenice to take care of her mom.  Music of impending doom plays as Alina slow-mo walks into the school and then turns around to wave and blow kisses.  Inésiana dissolves into tears by the car.

Dr. Veronese comes by to see Ricardo and tell him about the tests Sebastian had done.  Turns out Sebastian is HIV positive.

Francisco is all sweetness and light when Inésiana shows up.  He doesn't even care that she brought Berenice with her or that Mike hasn't left yet.

Mentir Para Vivir #69 Tue 1/14/14 Mirror Mirror On the Wall...Who's the Biggest Nut of All?


Aresti Mansion:  Oriana runs into Paloma’s room whining about making Rhodalina tell another lie.  Rhodalina didn’t want to go to school today and she doesn’t want to move in with Ricky and Marilu.  They are interrupted by internal phone call alerting her that Lucina is there.  Oriana goes back to Paloma and kneels before her.  She wants to know how to make a six year old go to school and stay with the babysitter.  Seriously?  Paloma tells her that she will take care of the situation with Rhodalina. 

In the living room, Oriana wants to know if Raquel is still boinking Jose Luis.  Hell yeah, says Lucina.  He gives her a lot of toys and cash.  Oriana says that she feels sorry for Raquel, but secretly hopes that her frenemy will continue to sleep with Jose Luis.  If Raquel is boinking him, Oriana won’t have to service him.  Lucina advises Oriana to ride Jose Luis like a he’s bucking stallion at the town rodeo, if necessary.  Oriana says she’s in love with Ricky.  Lucina points out that Ricky could be boinking his sweet young wife at that very moment.  Men think with their richards.  When a man gets lonely or upset, he will seek solace with other women.  They’re man sluts.  She thinks that women are ri-richard-culous when it comes sexual relationships.  So go get your freak on with Jose Luis…guilt free, says Lucina.  Do what ya gotta do to get yourself out of this mess.

Mentir Para Vivir #68 Mon 1/13/14 Two sets of parents, not enough brain to go around




At the plant Ric has a meeting with a guy called Ismael, another one of the cotton workers representatives. He explains him that whatever promises Arte Folclor made, they won’t be able to keep them for long. Aresti Breton can’t give them the extra 30%, but they can pay an additional 15% for now and once a business with a Chinese company goes through, the salaries might increase some more. Ismael wants to remain with Aresti Breton because he trusts them and so do the rest of the workers; but they’re afraid that Serafino Gomez, their supervisor (cacique) will do something against them. Ismael suspects that Serafino has made a deal with Arte Folclor; he mentions how Ric’s brother, Sebas, works for AF and also, another guy, Antonio. Ric isn’t pleased with the news, but promises Ismael to talk with the police, ask for protection for the workers

Antonio is updating JL on the fact that the cotton workers are still on their paycheck, but Ric is trying to change their minds. JL tells Tony that Seb blabbed to Raquel about their actual business and that’s why he had Mike kill him. Tony is shocked, he didn’t agree to any murderous activities when they shook hands and started working together. JL basically tells him to stop whining and deal with it.
Tony looks scared shitless.

Capítulo 67

Fabiola and Piero will be waiting the next twenty-four hours for the news from her ultrasound which will finally let them know if Sebastian's baby--at first glance anyway, will be physically sound. Piero—like Viewerville—can't understand why other tests weren’t done.  (Unfortunately, Piero, there are some things medical science just cannot do, and determining Demon Seedism is one of them!)

At Snoop Mansion, Grandpa Snoops, aka, Homero, is anxious to make contact with Mike Rodriguez to see if he's truly gone over to The Dark Side or not.  Leo suggests doing things the simple way by checking with the insurance company for Mike's phone number if he reported the accident like he should have.  Snoops chalks another one up for genius genes in the de la Garza family tree.

Ric, Homero, and Inésiana discuss Alina.  They agree that she can't see too much of Inésiana while she's staying at Paloma's, but Inésiana wants to see her at least once.  Homero goes off to see what happened to his car, but not before laughingly patting Ric on the cheek and telling him he's got a lot to learn.  Ric and Inésiana trade "I love you"-s and Ric starts listing all the documents he's going to need to get the adoption ball rolling.

Ric calls Marilu, aka Alina's new NannyMommy, to tell her not to take Alina over to Paloma's after school, even though Alina was looking forward to it.  "Just make up an excuse."  Niiiiiiice.

Homero catches Leo up on the car incident and mentions that he could swear he knows the guy who was with Francisco/JL.  He finally remembers that the guy's name was Mike and he used to be an agent.  "If he's undercover, why wasn't I informed?!"  Uh, oh…either Mike changed sides or someone forgot to keep forwarding Homero all those memos….
