Papa a Toda Madre #64 4.17.2018: Love in the Time of Difficult Decisions

Or How To Avoid Talking About Important Things Starring Mauricio and Renee

At Mauricio’s, Maria is tired of everyone around her trying to tell her what is the best thing to do, including Mauricio and Fabian. Mauricio admits that he has been pushy but warns her that Fabian is not to be trusted, and Renee agrees, and reminds her that he only wants to hurt Anifer. Either way, Maria thinks both he and Fabian are juniors who are used to everyone giving them want they want and using others. She tells Mauricio that she is going to demand him so any rights he has over Anifer are over.

At Tono’s, Tono cooks dinner as Esperanza observes the children. She notes are mature they are being about the divorce and thinks her son and Veronica did an excellent job. Tono thinks it’s about time he received some credit for something and Esperanza asks him to be quiet as Veronica comes and reminds Tono about Ernesto’s therapy. He’s on it and Veronica hands him some documents about her recent research online and asks him to share it with the doctor. Tono thinks her research supports what they already know about the new doctor’s treatment and Veronica nods, frustrated, before leaving. Veronica then says goodbye to her children and Anifer and leave. Once alone in the living, the kids question Anifer about her recently resuscitated mother and Anifer explains that she was never dead and offers to bring her over so they can meet her. The kids agree.

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 62; Friday April 13, 2018; “The Mother and Child Reunion is only a Motion Away”



No I would not give no false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
(Paul Simon, "Mother and Child Reunion", 1971)

We begin tonight with Mau and Renée showing Maria to Anifer’s room to watch her child sleeping. She bends down to kiss Anifer on the cheek while she sleeps. Maria wipes her eyes of some tears as she walks out of the room. Maria says she wants to stay there till Ani wakes up, but Mau tells her that it’s best that he talk to Ani first to make sure she doesn’t get scared. After all this time, Ani has thought her mother to be dead. He adds that he has been her father, not biologically, but in the heart.  Maria gets back at him saying that he’s been deceptive as well since he’s NOT the real father.

Or How To Tell Your Pseudo-Baby Momma That A Stranger Has Her Daughter

At the hospital, Jorge berates Lili for her careless actions, which now include bringing a new life into this world, and ruining her life in the process. Kika doesn’t think it’s the best time to talk about this but Jorge reiterates that it’s the best time. He asks Lili if her mother never taught her about preserving her virginity or anything of the sort but Lili reminds him that she never had a father, neither did her brother, but Jorge tells her that she’s no one to judge. Kika tries to defuse the situation and tells them that they must tell the father of the child, first, and then decide what to do. Jorge looks sick to his stomach but Lili nods.

In Neron’s shop, Pablo talks to his mother to tell her about his plans to go to the US to look for his father. He sends her his love and hangs up as his co-worker teases him. Pablo pays him no mind and then goes to Neron and tells him that his mother sends her thanks for all his help. He then tells that he found a group of Guatemalans online that can help him locate his father in the US. Neron is happy to hear the good news but seems distracted as Pablo keeps asking him what he thinks the best plan of action to find his father is. Neron tells Pablo to give him a minute and goes to his office.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 4/11/18 Capitulo 60: Mauricio Crosses the Line--OR--Kika to the Rescue

At the "cooperative" meeting, Mauricio tries to explain that they have to think about how exactly to open the cooperative. The answers will come from brainstorming little by little. Mauricio tells them they have to be smart and do things well. Toño blames Mauricio for being the one in a rush and changing plans. Nerón is not happy either. Jorge agrees with Mr. López Garza that "Rome was not built in a day". Toño says they all know that already and also points out the deference and formality on Jorge's part towards Mauricio with Jorge addressing Mauricio as "Ud." and not "tú" when they are all supposed to be equals and Mauricio is no longer his boss. Mauricio tells Jorge not to shout at Jorge because nobody is the boss of anyone else. He finally gets Toño to shake Jorge's hand to restore the solidarity of the group. Nerón is antsy and wants to get home to Flor who is not feeling well. He thinks that she must be pregnant again. Toño tells Jorge and Mauricio that he is basically broke and he needs a job like now. He leaves, too. Mauricio makes a comment about how stressed out Toño is.

Papa A Toda Madre #59 4.11.18: Making Plans In All The Wrong Places

Or Giving Up Your Future for Love

Renee tells Mauricio that she’s not sure she wants to continue with the master’s program because she prefers to stay in Mexico with Anifer and Mauricio. Mauricio is shocked and goes to sit by Renee, who tells him not to make a big deal out of it, but he insists that the price for them being together is too high. He would love to see her every day but he can’t allow her to give up on her dream. Renee argues that a master’s program is too time consuming, and he needs to focus on his new company and Anifer, while she takes care of everything else. Mauricio nods but doesn’t think it’s a good enough reason so Renee reminds him of all the obstacles in her way since she started the master’s program. She makes it clear that her plan is to postpone the program, for a bit, but Mauricio begs her not to do this for him. Renee shakes her head and confesses that this is the first time she’s in love and she’s not willing to give him up. Mauricio smiles wide as Renee explains that he love is a lot more than simple butterflies because she loves him, truly loves him, and doesn’t want to give him up. Mauricio asks for a moment, stands up, and cheers loud enough for the whole cul-de-sac to hear. Renee runs to him and they kiss and hug.

Alt Title: Chicken Soup for the BUSTED Soul!

At the Carbajal fortress (that can easily be invaded by a tribble), Renée explains to Noel that she grew up in a house that was her mother’s; and when her mother died, she thought it would be hers, but it turned out that the house is not under her name. When Noel tells her he doesn’t understand anything she is saying, he demands to know who the he** her mother is; so Renée blurts out, “Catalina Sanchez!” After Noel stumbles backwards and remains quiet, Renée questions why he remained quiet and if he knew her mother…
                                                                        Could it be?????
(So Renee, realizing this is going sideways fast, wishes she had brought Wookiee with her and makes small talk: So...you ever know Catalina Sanchez?) Noel tells her that she knows where the door is and not to get close. When Renée persists and asks if he knows Don Noel, Noel ( wonders if he should take out his saber but...) responds that if she doesn’t leave, he will call the police; so Renée apologizes and runs out. After she leaves, Noel uncovers his head and looks as if he saw a ghost. (Maybe the Ghost of Bunny Hopping Past? Wait, what the Dickens am I thinking?

Tono and Veronica go to Ernesto’s doctor. Tono doesn’t want to give his child medicine and suggests they try other methods.

Once alone with Tono, Veronica begs him to please put their issues aside and focus on their children. Tono promises to make sure Ernesto takes all his pills and Veronica nods.

Xmas Eve continues . . .

Nerón is entertaining Roberto this Xmas Eve. Roberto has come with gifts for everybody. Nerón leaves Flor and Robert alone to go get his gifts. They chit chat about about Nerón telling Robert to get a wife and maybe one with a child. Robert quietly expresses concern for Nerón’s health and asks Flor about it since Nerón seems to be talking about it a lot in the last couple of days. Flor looks concerned.

At Toño's parents, Christmas Eve is not too merry. Verónica reminds Toño that the only reason she is there is because of the kids and that the two of them are still separated. He gets sarcastic about what a sacrifice it must be for her to have to deal with all of his relatives. She makes it clear that is not the problem. Her problem is putting on a happy face so she does not ruin the children’s Xmas especially Neto's. They get into an argument about Neto and his medicine for his supposed ADD. Toño cannot understand how a doctor can see him only once and put him on medicine. Verónica explains that the doctor is an expert. It seems to her that Toño doesn’t take anything seriously. Toño argues it is not that. It is only that he has been on the internet . . . She scoffs at that. According to what he has read, the experts say that taking medication is the last option that should be considered. Before going with medication, you have to take a look at what is happening in the child's home, his environment.

In Kika’s suite, Jorge gets dressed quickly as Kika smiles. He stumbles to explain why he’s in such a huff, and just had a quickie with her, but Kika is more than happy to oblige. Jorge nods and explains that he loves “doing it” but doesn’t like “talking about it” because he had a very strict upbringing. Either way, he enjoys his time with her and Kika loves how fiery and passionate he is and how opposites definitely attract. She then sits him down and asks about how Lili and Baldo were born so he tells her how he cheated on Dulce, right before their wedding, and got Yuriria pregnant. Kika nods and asks if he still loves Dulce; Jorge admits that he would regret marrying Dulce if it weren’t for his children, Samuel, and Valentina. Kika then asks if he still loves Yuriria but Jorge doesn’t want to talk about it. Kika insists, since she’s a “cool girl” and Jorge admits that she is the love of his life (but doesn’t reveal that she’s passed cause ‘drama!’) and kisses her goodbye.

Or Everyone Gets Hit In the Face

Mauricio thinks Fabian is sick because he used a child to further his plans. Fabian thought Mauricio hated kids, so it shouldn’t have been a big deal. Mauricio wants to know if Maria is actually dead or if Fabian made that up to, but Fabian confirms she’s dead and buried. Mauricio doesn’t believe him, as he’s lied to much and went alone with Juan Perez to Maria’s burial, but Fabian confirms the body he claimed was Maria’s and he only did it because Mauricio won’t let sleeping dogs lie. Mauricio can’t believe Fabian would’ve left Maria unclaimed, like a dog, but Fabian retorts that Mauricio didn’t even go to his own father’s burial, so he shouldn’t talk. Mauricio claims that that is another story and thinks Noel would die again if he saw what his son has become.

Renee is looking at the photo she found of all the old Logatoys employees when Rafael walks in and asks if she’s going to keep it. Renee is going to ask Mauricio but she’s sure he will let her keep it as a reminder of the way things were. After a moment, Renee realizes that her mother is looking at someone else, not the camera, and Rafael points at Noel and assumes she’s looking at this man. Renee doesn’t know him, only of him, and remembers when Angel told her that Catalina was very secretive, and he wished she loved him but never did. Renee suddenly gasps and tells Rafael that she knows who her father may be, but she can’t confirm that he is because she has no proof. Rafael offers to help, as the sooner she gets her house, the sooner they can buy it, but Renee is wary as the legal battle for her house may be tougher than she thought. She also reveals that she may have a brother and wonders how she will find out the truth. Rafael thinks her talk with Angel went well, so she could talk to her brother too, but Renee wonders if her search is worth it because she may find out things she never expected or wanted to find out.

Fabián asks Mau if he is feeling well; so Mau responds that it must be because he is excited about starting a new phase in the factory…with him. Mau then asks Fabián if he remembers how long they have been friends, so Fabián laughs and responds “All our lives; ever since we were born!” Mau replies, “Exactly. In fact, until Anifer showed up, I considered you my only living family.” When Fabián wonders why Mau is so nostalgic and asking so many questions, Mau responds that he doesn’t know; he has just realized that he trusts Fabián with so many favors…sometimes he thinks he takes advantage of him…like asking him to take care of Maria’s burial.  (A tiny little tinker bell jingles in Fabián’s serpentine brain.) After Mau thanks him, Fabián assures him that there is no need to thank him…he has always done it with all his heart (as he concentrates really hard to not allow his tail to rattle).
At Veronica’s house, Toño is cleaning the table when Veronica arrives and asks if the kids have gone to bed. When Toño responds that it has been quite some time since they went to bed, Veronica comments that she hardly saw them in the morning; so she is going to go peek in on them. Toño tells her not to wake them because it took him quite some time to get them to sleep; furthermore, he wants her to sit down so they can talk about that infamous “break” she wants to take. Veronica points out that he was the first to mention taking a break…and right now she is exhausted and isn’t up to anything, but she does want to tell him that she will be leaving on a job-related trip during the week-end…and she wants HER kids to go with her. As Toño emphasizes that they haven’t even started the “break’ and she is already saying “HER kids,” (Clue A, Tono) Tania listens through the door as they continue to argue, then walks back to her bed as Veronica tells Toño that she does not want to continue arguing and walks away.

Rodrigo walks into Neron’s shop and demands to know why Pablo hid the fact that he was in Mexico illegally. Pablo looks worried and very contrite and Neron tries to argue that Pablo is a very good man, but Rodrigo laughs at the fact that they tried to trick him earlier, by acting like a mute and then pretending the funny words Pablo used were form another part of Mexico. Either way, he warns them that Jorge is looking into the deportation process for illegals and he assumed it was because of him. Neron begs Rodrigo to reconsider, and not arrest Pablo, but Rodrigo makes it clear that he’s not there to arrest him because he’s a hard-working man, not a criminal. Neron and Pablo thank him and they all shake hands with a smile. Rodrigo leaves them with one final warning: if someone else reports Pablo, there will be nothing he could do for him them.
