Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 25, 2/19/2018: Let Sleeping (and Dead) Dogs Lie? I Don’t Think So!
Mau goes to see Loopy. He didn’t go there to talk or
argue; he just wants to know exactly how much money Renée owes him because Mau
will pay it. Loopy responds that is something between him and Renée. Mau states
that is why he wants to pay; he just wants Loopy to stop bothering Renée. When
Mau again asks for the amount. Loopy smirks and comments that Renée is now
selling herself so easily. Mau stops him and tells Loopy what Loopy had just said,
“It’s something between her and me.” Loopy continues to criticize Renée since
she pretends to be such a feminist and so independent yet she is letting
“Juniorcito” pay her bills. When he tells Mau that Renée is just a gold digger,
Mau tells him to shut his mouth and stop saying stupidities and to just tell
him that measly amount Renée owes him. (Listen up Dogbreath, this may be your
best shot at actually gettin’ your paws on that money)

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 24, Friday February 16, 2018: Anifer will not accept Kika or "I am your father!"
We open
with Kika on her pink phone (looks like a toy) telling whoever she is talking
to that she hopes that (I assume Mauricio) will suffer and end up in the dog
poo. Flashback to the past, when Mauricio was in high school. He helps a young
Kika with the books she dropped on the stairwell. They become friends. Later he
confronts her about some of his friends telling him that she is in love with
him. She says that they are just friends and do a fist bump and declare their
forever friendship. But Maur asks her, “But is it really true that you are in
love with me?” Back to the present, Kika continues talking on that phone and
says, “I will not forgive or forget” and hangs up then leaves.
At the
baptism party Toño asks Jorge what happened on his trip because he looks like
someone died. (Well
yeah…) Even Renée chimes in and says he looks a lot more serious
than he usually does. Jorge says it’s just a lot of work, but otherwise,
everything is fine.

Papa a Toda Madre #23 2.15.18: If Two Snakes Kiss, Do They Poison Each Other?
Or Fabian Shows Us What He is (Truly) Made of
Mauricio tells Renee that he knows she doesn’t like Kika. In fact, he could say she’s jealous. He runs out as Renee huffs and looks at Anifer, who shrugs.
At home, Veronica asks Tono to please clean the house a little for their guests. Tono nods but wonders who is going to cook. He suggests they order take out and Veronica finally agrees as Tono doesn’t know how to cook well. Veronica then asks him to please behave, so her boss sees how close their family is, but the dinner doesn’t guarantee that he will be hired. Tono understands and offers to tell his best jokes to see if her boss lightens up. Veronica laughs and nods.
The next day, Mauricio tells Fabian that Kika is beautiful, sexy, and even gets along with Anifer. Fabian asks if he trusts her, and all she says, and Mauricio is sure she is the persons she says she is. Fabian is still unsure, as it seems Mauricio likes Kika for other things, and not business, but Mauricio takes the hint and assures Fabian that he will separate business from pleasure.
At the hospital, Baldo demands to know why Jorge is still there when the doctor comes and announces that Yuriria has woken from the coma and wants to talk to her children. Jorge hopes this shows them the power of prayer but Baldo scruffs and walks away with Lili.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 2/14/18 Capítulo 22: The Legendary Bad Penny Always Turns Up
Officials from the city visit Nerón and close his business down. Nerón first begs them not to but is told that he can either comply or end up in jail. He is then incensed. He knows that they want a bribe but he isn't going to give them one. He is an honorable man. There is no reason for them to close down his tire business. They tell him that he better take his complaint to the Public Ministry as they put up huge “closed” signs sealing the doorways of his business. Pablo tries to calm Nerón down and asks if he wants him to go with him to contest the action. Nerón says sure but only up to the door so they don’t get wind of him being here illegally and send him back to Guatemala.
Back at the school, Renée asks the priest to clarify what a normal and traditional family is. No problem there: it is one that is created by the Church in holy matrimony consisting of a father, a mother and children. She then asks what he thinks about single mothers and the kind of family she had with her mother and herself. Would he not consider that a family? The priest and the nun answer in unison and the answer is “NO”. The nun makes it clear that there is only one kind of family and Father Cutberto described it. Renée finds it unbelievable that they would expel a little girl for just asking questions that are age appropriate. She does not live in a bubble and realizes that there is so much more out there beyond what they are telling her. Mauricio agrees and adds that his daughter is quick and witty. She got her intelligence from him, of course. Renée tells the priest that it is they rather that don’t “fit” the needs of Anifer. The school is way too limiting for her. Mauricio likes that. The priest comes back with maybe it is not limiting enough since the child seems to have inherited her rebelliousness from her mother. The nun seconds that. Mauricio grabs Renée and pulls her close to him saying that Renée is defending their daughter like the mother that she is. She is completely right. This school is not at Anifer’s level. They won’t be expelling Anifer because he and Renée are leaving and taking Anifer with them.

Papa a Toda Madre #21 2.13.18: Lying Won't Help You Now
Or Jorge the Hypocrite
Jorge hopes Yuriria is in treatment and going to get better but she shakes her head and tells him that she is terminally ill and has accepted it.
As the kids argue about who has brushed their teeth and who has not, Veronica threatens to return the dog to Rafael if they don’t behave. They agree to stop and Veronica asks them to make sure Carola is in a safe place while they are out so that her furniture is safe. Unknownst to her, Tono is brushing his teeth at the table, spitting toothpaste in the coffee cups cleaning his toothbrush in one of the glasses.
Yuriria explains that she didn’t think it prudent to tell him about her illness over the phone and is sorry. Jorge thinks there is nothing to apologize about and confesses that she is love of his life and he only realized it a short while a go. He cries as he says this.

and asks how he can be of service. After Falcón shows him his phone and tells
him they must wait for orders, Perez agrees to wait, but wants to know who
Falcón is and what it is he really wants. Falcón, however, replies that the
less they know about each other, the better because, after all, his (Perez)
name isn’t Juan Perez either. Perez backs down and agrees to wait for orders
from higher up without any more questions. (OMG is it a Fisher Price takeover?)

We left off yesterday with Mauricio meeting Kika Braun at
the toy expo, who seems to recognize him, but he doesn’t seem to know her. But
she being very beautiful and sexy, of course wants to know her and can’t
believe he cannot remember her. [Don’t fall for this Mauricio, it looks like a trap!]
She introduces herself and says that she thought he might have recognized her
from being online. “My name is Chiquinquirá Braun, but everyone calls me Kika.
See this magazine? I found you in this magazine.” Mauricio says, “It sounds
like destiny to me, since this is such a coincidence.” The magazine refers to Mauricio
as #11 most sought after bachelor. Maur says, “Well I know I didn’t make the
top 10, but at least I’m still in the ranking, right?”
Kika looks over at Mauricio’s display at the expo, and
says, “Are those yours? Well I guess I’ll make the rounds here, but I’ll be
right back.” Mauricio promises not to move

Finally, Valentina gets up and goes to see the desk clerk and asks to call the room of Sra. Goyeneche.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 15, 2/5/2018: Mau Gets a Clue, But Is Still CLUELESS!
Alt Title: Give the Dog a Bone and He’ll Want the Whole Chick-en
Previously: At Logatoys, Mau, Fabian and Anifer arrive
with the toys and are greeted by Falcón who has with him the new council.
Falcón explains that after their last meeting, it was obvious to him that Mau
has been maturing. When Falcon reminds Mau that Mau decided that Falcón would
not be involved in any decisions related to creations, Mau assumes that Falcón
formed a council behind his back. Falcón denies going behind Mau’s back and
justifies that he just wanted to equalize the decision-making authority by
bringing in a council made up of very talented people. After Mau retorts that
Falcón can’t do such things without consulting him, Falcón tells him that will
change because from now on, every decision Mau makes will be evaluated by the
council…and Mau will be able to decide NOTHING of his own accord (for the
benefit of Logatoys, or humanity in general?).
At Renée’s house, Loopy calls and says, “Is everything
ok? You sound very discouraged, baby.” Renée responds that she just got home
from a meeting with Adriana, her advisor, who told her that the people from

quick, it is easier to catch a wounded rabbit.)

We open with Anifer telling Mauricio that he is
exploiting child labor laws. Mauricio wants to know where she learned that one
from. Well of course she learned it from her mother and by the way, didn’t he
promise to get in touch with her mother so that she can talk to her? Mauricio
tries to distract her by offering her a popsicle, but she says, “I want to talk
to my mother! And I don’t want it to be tomorrow, I want it to be now!”
Mauricio tries to explain to her that her mother is in a
remote location where there isn’t any wi-fi. “That’s the reason she cannot
communicate with us, and neither us with her.” “Well” says Anifer, “If you aren’t
going to be able to call my mother, then I’m not going to help you anymore with
my drawings.” Maur says, “You’re my flesh and blood, you should not be putting
conditions on me. Who do you think you are?”

Papá a toda madre Wednesday January 31, 2018 Capítulo 12: Kidnapping, Conspiracy, and Blackmail: Oh, My!
At Jorge’s house, he is asking his daughter Valentina why she has not been going to her religious studies class. Father Cutberto told him that she has not been attending. What has she been up to? She says maybe Father Cutberto doesn’t see very well . . . Jorge wants her to look him in the eye and tell him the truth. She insists she has been going. If he doesn’t believe her he should go talk to her teacher. She cannot believe he has such little trust in her. He ends up apologizing. She is talking about getting ready for the concert and the fact that Toño and Samuel are going to Jorge’s godparent’s 50th anniversary party.
At Mauricio's house, Mauricio has taken on a much more conciliatory tone and is trying to convince a reluctant Anifer that living with her great aunt the nun will be a thousand times better for her. He follows her into their house. Mauricio explains that he is simply not ready to be a father. She insists that she has to live with him because he is her father. She likes him. He wants to know where it says that. He is too young to be a father. She doesn’t think he is so young. Well, he says he is more like an old kid. Maybe some time he will be ready to be a father. Anifer wants to know if she goes with the nun, will he ever come and see her. Of course he will . . . when he can. . . maybe not everyday but he will come to see her. Her next concern is if her mother comes looking for her, will he tell her where she is. Mauricio says of course he will. He asks nicely if she will go with her great aunt.

forehead and feels that she is quite warm. When Renée checks Anifer, she gasps
and tells Mau that Anifer is very hot and has a fever. Mau immediately brushes
off the blame from himself and asks Renée what she gave Anifer for dinner. Renée
can’t believe Mau could be serious since Anifer came knocking at her door in
the middle of the night because he left her alone. Mau takes his big foot out
of his mouth and apologizes to Renée…he doesn’t know what he is saying (uh-huh!
You just had an epiphany?).
When he stutters as he asks what they should do, Renée
tells him to use his common sense (did she see pigs flying?)

Mauricio receives a mysterious phone call and is floored by the news he receives.
Wilma calls Renee to the university to inform her that they are reducing the amount of students that are accepted in a US university in her field. Renee asks if she’s safe, as she was already accepted, but Wilma explains that she needs to complete the required forms in time or they may give her spot to a waitlist student. Renee can’t believe the dilemma she’s in: she can’t apply for a student visa without being formally accepted into the university, which she can’t do if she has no money to pay for it. Wilma hopes they find a solution soon but Renee sighs heavily.
