Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 77, 5/7/2018: Fathers Lost, But Not Forgotten
Alt. Title: Mission Implausible for the Odd Squad
Mau is at the gazebo telling the Coop members that Fabián
is not going to give up; he will keep badgering them. He tells them that they
can’t be waiting around and that they need to find out what Fabián and Falcón
are up to. They need to follow Falcón because Falcón would not be expecting
them to follow him; Fabián, on the other hand, is taking precautions for
himself….he even electrified his fence. (Mau, are you sure you are not making
that up about the fence?) When Toño asks when they should start, Mau responds,
“Right here! Right now!” (in English). After they all get up, Nerón asks when
they will be doing that, so Toño explains that they will be doing it now…that
is what Mau meant when he spoke in English.

Papa a toda Madre, Capítulo 76, Friday May 4, 2018; “I’m Not in Love!”
Mau
comes back from his “meeting” that he told Maria he was going to and told her
it went well. [Guess
he didn’t want her to know he was playing “stand in” with Vero] So
she thinks he had a meeting with the cooperative. Then she mentions Fabian and
Mau wants to know if he came over. Maria says, “No, not that. It’s just that
Anifer is asking about her biological father.” So Mau goes to her bedroom to
find out if she is awake and she is. He tells her, “A little bird told me that
you were interesting in knowing something about your biological father. I want
you to know that if you want to talk to me about it, I’m here for you.” But Ani
says, “I just wanted to know if my mother was in love with my father and why he
didn’t want to know me. Was he angry with me or my mother?” Mau answers, “I don’t
think he was angry. But the most important thing in the world is that you don’t
hold that against him.” Mau used the word “rancor” and Ani wants to know what
it means. He explains that it means that something turns ugly and stays in the
heart, then it’s very difficult to get rid of. “Well I’m not angry with anyone”
says Ani. Mau then explains that no matter what happens, it is always important
to forgive. Ani then talks about how he
changed girlfriends and went from Renée to Maria.

Papá a toda madre Thurs. 5/3/18 Capítulo 75: Fabián: Around the Bend--OR--Renée: Out of Her League
Talking with Renée, Mauricio is finding it hard to believe that don Noél is still alive when he returned from the USA to go to his funeral. Even though he was a just a kid, he still remembers how painful don Noél's death was. How can he still be alive? Renée reminds Mauricio how she told him that Fabián was living with his uncle but then she recognized him as the man from the photo that her mother had given her. That man told her who he was. Mauricio asks her if he was at Fabián's house when Mauricio and María saw Renée. She says yes, he was there but hidden. She lied. Mauricio still cannot believe it.
In Verónica's office, Mr. Bustamante is insisting that she and Toño go out to dinner with him and the owner of the company. He is just dying to get to know Toño's wife. They need to cancel whatever they need to. Toño says he can make it but his wife is going to have to look after the kids since the nanny broke her back. Mr. Bustamante informs them that this is very important and he wants the two of them with their spouses at dinner tonight. He will not accept "no" as an answer. As he leaves, Verónica just hits her head on her desk. What to do? They have to get somebody to pose as their spouses, but who?

Papa a Toda Madre #74 5.1.18: The Truth Shall Set You Free, Like a Cold Bucket of Water Will Wake You Up
Or Drug the Old Man and Add Barbed Wire to the Fence AFTER the Dead Come Back to Life
Mr. Bustamante, Veronica’s and Tono’s boss, takes them to her office and announces that the meeting was a complete success and their clients were very impressed. She smiles wide and apologizes, again, for the daily celebration thing, but Bustamante apologizes for not understanding the value of such a tradition. She then goes to tell him something, but he tells her that they will talk tomorrow as he has to go. Once alone, Tono tells Veronica, sarcastically, that her work is important and great and the only thing that matters. Veronica chide shim for being so rude but Tono reminds her that she didn’t tell their boss that he helped, even though she should’ve.
Renee is crossing the street when a motorcyclist stills her bag, but Mauricio grabs it back as the motorcyclist is getting away. He cheers but the motorcyclist turns around and reeves his engine, leaving Mauricio a little scared for his life.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 73, 4/30/2018: And They Will Be Divided, Father Against Son and Son Against Father…
At Mau’s house, María and Mau are necking on the couch,
but Mau’s thoughts are with Renée; he remembers his first kisses with her and
their last romantic encounter. María senses his coldness and wonders if
something is wrong (Yes! He’s not into you!). Mau denies that anything is wrong
and falters as he tells her that this would be their first time; so it should
be something special…not just something casual on the couch. María thinks
making love is special in and of itself…how and where is the least of it, but
if he wants to plan something, then they can do that. After he thanks her for
understanding, she hugs him, but Mau looks disinclined (and probably thinking
“How can I get out of this?”)

We
begin with where we left off yesterday as Renée and Noel continue to chat about
the past and the “whys” of what happened. Noel did not realize that Anifer was
really HIS granddaughter. But at this time, Renée decides it’s better that she
leaves, but Noel stops her. He says, “You say you came to see about your house,
but I think that you really came to find out what my relationship was with your
mother. In truth, we weren’t really lovers. But if you would like to find out
more, please come tomorrow at the same time.” Renée responds, “I’m just not
sure that I really want to know the details of your relationship.” She gets up
to leave.

Papa a Toda Madre #71 4.26.18: Who Was That Masked Man?
Or If You're Planning Evil Deeds Together, Are You Surprised When Your Partner-In-Crime Turns Out to Be Evil?
Neron arrives home and announces his arrival. Flor comes out and greets him with a smile and a freshly shaved head. Neron’s jaw hits the floor and he gets teary eyed as Flor asks him if he won’t love her bald. Neron tells her he will love her however and Flor realizes that he’s just sad to see her without hair. She tells him to cry if he needs to and he does after giving her a kiss. Flor smiles and gives him a hug.
At home, Mauricio asks Maria how she ended up in Guatemala in the first place. Maria explains that, when she received death threats in San Crispin, she went to go hide in Guatemala, which was were she was arrested for crimes against the government. She assumed it was the corporations they were fighting against, but the worst part was that drugs were planted on them, so they were imprisoned for a lot longer than expected. Mauricio thinks Fabian could’ve planted the drugs also and Maria explains that she’s trying to find out who exactly reported them, so they can compare notes. Mauricio wonders if Fabian could be hiding the proof of his deeds at home, since he couldn’t find anything in Logatoys, and Maria agrees that her whole arrest and release were weird.

Papá a toda madre Wed. 4/25/18 Capítulo 70: Reality Bites--OR--Kika On a Roll
At Logatoys, Mauricio is having it out with Falcón. Mauricio asks him point blank if it was Fabián who had María put in jail. Falcón laughs him off. The loss of the company is really affecting him. Mauricio informs him: if Fabián had something to do with it, he will pay for it. Falcón says he will tell Fabián and asks him to leave. Mauricio makes a point of telling him that he cannot be threatened like Renée. No matter what Fabián does the cooperative will move on ahead. Still chuckling, Falcón decides if there is anything else Mauricio has to say then he really should write it all down in a notebook. A more serious Falcón then wishes him good luck in proving his accusations. Fabián is not as stupid as he is. Mauricio leaves telling Falcón to tell Fabián what he said.
At Jorge's, Jorge goes to talk to Lili in her bedroom. She has been looking at photos on her phone of her mother and the early Christmas they had with him or rather "Uncle Jorge". She asks who came up with the idea of "Uncle Jorge". Jorge remembers that he talked to her mother telling her that he had to see his children even if it could only be once a year. From that, her mother decided that they should invent "Uncle Jorge" so he could be with them. Lili reminds him that his visits were not enough. Jorge does not disagree but hopes that maybe someday she will understand the guilt he lives with. Jorge admits that when he sees everything that is going on now . . . with this "mistake", he blames himself for not being there. Lili gets upset. Her baby is not a "mistake" and she doesn't want it to be considered as such. Why cannot he try to understand her and walk in her shoes? He is trying . . . Lili does not agree. Even though they live together, he is still very "absent" and not just for her and Baldo but also for Valentina and Samuel.

Papa A Toda Madre #69: Honest Questions for Not-So-Honest People
Or The Worst Kept Secrets Are In Telenovelas
Renee tells Manifer that it is not her fault that she and Mauricio broke up. Anifer still asks for her and Maria’s forgiveness and they forgive her, but Renee continues to explain that her and Mauricio had problems beforehand and nothing she did caused them to break up. Maria is sad to see her daughter so distraught and Renee understands as she feels the same way.

Renee then tells Maria that they have plenty to talk about and Maria nods.

The male chauvinist boss (hereinafter known as MCB) hopes Toño
doesn’t have a problem being an assistant to a woman and that Veronica doesn’t
have a problem having a man for an assistant. (Little does he know how long
these two have been practicing for this.) Toño assures him he has no problem;
in fact, he would be honored to work for, uh-hmm, Barbara? Veronica corrects
him before stating that she doesn’t care if her assistant is male, female or a
squid…as long as he does his work well and that he knows her name.

She hugs Mauricio and he tells her that she found the best father and he won the best daughter.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 4/18/18 Capitulo 65: Going Around in Circles --OR--Marching in Place
We pick up with a very sad Flor talking to Milady and telling her how afraid she is of leaving her alone in the world and her father not being able to care for her. Pablo cuts the conversation short looking for Nerón who is throwing out the garbage. It turns out that Pablo has an idea on how to bring more people into the tire shop and make them more money.
As they leave, all of the other guys are getting together to meet about the cooperative but Nerón tells them that he cannot make it because of business at the tire shop. He finally gives in when it turns out to be promised to be only a short meeting. Mauricio introduces them to María Anifer's mother who is there as an advisor. The issue is capital. How much money can each of them bring into the business? Nerón can't bring anything in right now. He has to save every single penny. Jorge gets that but Nerón should look at this like an investment and not an expense. Nerón understands that but he he simply cannot. He has much more serious things to think about. He doesn't know how Jorge can say that anyway. He doesn't have any money either. Jorge admits that things are going badly for him, too. Jorge asks Toño next. Toño jokes but is in the same predicament and with the divorce it is even worse. They all think that Mauricio should have some disposable income since he sold Logatoys. Mauricio is at a loss for words. Jorge defends him by saying that "Mr. López Garza" does not owe them any explanations. Mauricio comes out with the truth. He did not sell the company. He gave it away because of Anifer. He did it so she would not find out that he was not her dad. It is out. The company is history and he has not a peso. Even though Anifer is not his blood, she might as well be because that is how he loves her. María looks at him and is beaming with happiness.

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.

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.

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.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 58, 4/9/2018: Dead (Wo)Man Walking…and Talking…and Possibly Stalking… OR Night (Day) of the Living Dead
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? Or was he thinking, “May
the Farce Be with You?”)
