Que Pobres tan Ricos #143 July 25, 2014 ... FINALLY... Nepo and Gwendy engaged!! and MATI found her Doctor Miranda!! Tomas the hero again!!
Here's a treat I found from one of my favorite movies of all time...
Mr Deeds goes to town court scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75Ic6hPsgmk
MA finds Frida eating ice cream like crazy in kitchen/dining room. She says there are so many changes going on in her life… y eso!
MA tells Frida that Lupe is too stubborn, too Menchaca.
Frida takes the entire gallon of ice cream to her room. MA protests.
Lawyer and A-hole meeting… A-hole fakes concern for his family going back to dirt poor.
Tay’s video shows up on TV, Frida is upset. With her painting the pamphlet says 'inesperado?’ (unexpected?)
New:
At bar named La Amargura (sorrow), Gwendy and Saul are wrapped in each other’s arms… Gwendy seems to be half drunk, seems to be ready to take Saul home for some pow-wow.
At studio, Perla talks to the models she helped out with the make-up. The girls say she is AWESOME. Modeling is a very hard career, besides being very short, you end up rejected after only a few years. Tizoc comes to them… takes Perla away. The models are a bit sickened by Tizoc coming by(?)
Gwendy and Saul keep it going at the bar, he finally gets the check. Her cell phone rings. It is Lupe. Lupe tells her about Nepo’s visit. Gwendy afraid she returned with Nepo again… on the contrary, he came to tell her he doesn’t love her. That he has the hots for a girl from the barrio. Gwendy guesses who it could be. (carror hair?? LOL!) Lupe says nope, it is some girl named Gwendys! He finally realized you are the girl of his life!! Gwendy says ‘men are like the two legged cockroach, until they see her with another, they don’t realize how much they care. ‘ Lupe tells her don’t reject Nepo just for too much pride. Gwendy says no, she is now interested in someone else. Gwendy hangs up on Lupe and says ‘sorry but Nepo already lost me’. She goes back to Saul and kisses him… He is ready to go to her place… but she has changed her mind… he wonders if he did something inappropriate… you did, and I liked it, but the issue is not that… then what? … she ends up leaving him sitting there… without a real reason. ‘quedo de ti muy atentamente, lic Saul Ballesteros…’

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #142: 7/24/14: Que Oui, Oui, or Que Padre Depending On Your Point of View!
Hola Amiguis! Due to a snafu, I am going to do a brief summary of Pobres. I didn't record and watched in real time and didn't take notes. Please fill in the bits I missed. Things will not be in order, just what I remember.
Tomas finds Perla's diet pills and asks her about them. He tells Tizoc who has a chat with her. She feels she needs them she tells him, as the top models are all thin as rails. He assures her she doesn't need them, she is beautiful the way she is. Later. she goes with him to his video shoot, for that stupid celullar song, and fixes the model's makeup. They love it up the actual makeup artist is not happy.
Ahole, while talking to Emi, tells him Mama and I are married. Que Padre! Ahole assures him that soon, very soon they will all be together. Oh, and keep it a secret!
MA and Lupe have a big fight, right in the bread store. He finds out that Lupe is married to Ahole and MA is fit to be tied of course. Crap, crap! MA I think informs Saul.

Hola Amiguis! I have been away for a couple of weeks and I am not fully caught up yet. I am subbing this evening for our wonderful Blog Mom, Jane. If I miss something please fill in. Shall we begin with an earworm? I have the perfect one for Tizoc, I'm Too Sexy!
Tizoc and Perla are up in the old RP Penthouse and Tizoc thinks this whole thingy of Frida being preggers is a false alarm. Perla says, yeah in your dreams. She also tells him about MA and Lupe maybe getting together. Tizoc isn't happy and neither is Perla, I wonder why???? Hmmmmm???????
Leo is talking to Diego and he tells Diego their relationship is too complicated, so it's friends, si? Deigo just got his heart broken. Boo, Hiss on Leo! Leo says his familia knows about him being gay, but not his friends and so this is why it's complicated. Deigo sadly goes away and Leo is OMGeeing cause he discovered his car is a hard top convertible. Oh, Please!!!!!
MA and Lupe did a quick smooch and he gives her directions to where Frida is, it's for Tizoc of course. Now MA wants another meet with Lupe when she has more time to dish. He wants to look in her eyes and see her smile, she finally agrees.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 7/21/14 (#139): I Wasn't Expecting the Spanish Inquisition
Frida's pregnancy test results are not explicitly revealed, but the look on her face tells us that she is not pleased. After giving Frida a moment to herself on the bench, the nurse approaches with some pamphlets and says that it doesn't look as though Frida's happy. Frida says she's not sure. (First she ate chicken soup, and now she's killed a rabbit! What's next for this lapsed vegetarian?)
AS and MA sit at opposite ends of a very long dinner table. Leo is sitting somewhere in the middle (symbolism much?). Despite the fact that they never used to eat meals together in the before-time, AS is annoyed that Frida is very late. In fact, Frida finally comes home, says it was a long day planning a protest against some kind of genetic engineering or something, and is going straight to bed. Leo decides to take his dinner to his room, too. That leaves MA and AS alone to chat with one another, or so you'd think.
Emi has apparently eaten all he's going to eat tonight, so Lupe sends him to bed. (He has to be reminded to take his plate.) Actually this is more about getting him out of the room so that Lupe and Chuy can confront Tizoc about the positive pregnancy test that wasn't Lupe's or Perla's. Tizoc is very defensive: "What is this, the Inquisition?"
Vilma calls Ahole and demands to see him tomorrow. He doesn't want to go, but she insists. He makes a big deal of having to rearrange his schedule to accommodate her, and jokes that her own schedule is so open lately.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #138 18 July 2014. The RP finally say goodbye to Menchaca manor. They get back home but with credit limits / budgets. Plus 2 pregnancy tests, one positive.. whose 'prize' is it anyway?
Refrito: Lupe ‘telling’ MA this will be last time I have to see you.
At Salomon’s, AS and Leo are there. She wants all her stuff back. She will pay him every cent. Salomon asks if this is the ‘dia de los inocentes’ (april fools day?) he will find boxes and newspapers to wrap her ‘trickets’ in LOL! Leo wants to excuse himself, but she won’t let him go. She says you will have time to say goodbye to your cheeky friend. (Cacheton) AS says Leo should go back to school in NY.
Saul and MA at fonda. MA tells Saul he will continue pursuing the juices business, but he will NEVER go back to the Editorial business. Leo comes in. wants MA to go get Frida, she is crying in bathroom, according to Leo she will be missing La Nopalera. She is in bathroom checking her pregnancy test. (was that positive? I missed it.)
At kitchen, AS, as a grateful gesture, wants to leave Carm and Lupe her culinary recipes book/scrapbook. Beef Stroganoff, minestrone, tortellinis (love the way Carm pronounced it as ‘y’). AS recommends they use cognac to elevate the taste of dishes. Use the best ingredients always. Chuy thanks her for all the advice. Lupe also thanks her. AS repeats that it is an act of charity now that she is leaving. AS says later will send someone to pick up their belongings.
It is Lupe’s turn to lock herself in bathroom to use a pregnancy test.
At fonda, Chuy is saying farewell to AS and Leo. Leo says thank you very much, good luck and ‘todo cool’. Perla is happy to see them go. MA says even through all we got through, all these months have been the best part of his life. MA says will be watching for them. Chuy says thanks but better keep your distance. MA wants them to know they can count on him for ANYTHING. One last ‘sunshine’ sharing embrace. MA whispers to Carm that he is leaving, thank you for all the support. She will not stop trying to vow for him with Lupita. AS has waited enough, urges MA to wrap it up. Finally will say goodbye to La Nopalera. Arrivederci!!

Pobres 7/16: EmiliAhole
The little twerp is now in full EmiliAhole mode. He's unrepentant for being a dick and saying awful things. Tizoc and Chuy look on in dismay.
Ana Sofia gives Leo some crap about the plebian juice business and asks for cash for a cab. She claims all the money he's given her has gone to the loan shark who helped pay for the wedding. Leo: don't remind me of that humiluqui momento de mi viduqi! But he gives her the cash.
Cute scene w/ Minerva and her mom trying to confront Ahole as he plays with his corn dog.
Ana Sofia shows up at Mini's place, looking for Ahole. The ladies mock her. Barbs are traded. She gets through to talk to Alejo, who confirms that Mike has his money back. More barbs.
Guendy flirts w/ Saul hardcore. She calls him Whitey. They wind up making out and leave the bar together.
Sadly, Don Chuy has been brought to tears by the cruelties of his grandson. He reminisces on the most painful defeats of his wrestling career, none of which hurt as much as this. Aww I really, really hope we see the kid get some comeuppance in this show.
Returning from her fact-finding mission, Ana Sofia hops out of her cab and refuses to pay for it. Yet again, Diego winds up paying. Leo and Frida have been worried sick - where have you been, mom? Drinking? AA meeting? She says, don't even speak to me of AA. I've been so anxious I'm liable to drink my parisian perfumes.
Doña Matty wants Chuy to infiltrate her former office and retrieve a phone that has contact info of a sympathetic doctor Miranda who could help get her out from under Ahole's conservatorship.
Mike calls Lupe. "I know you don't believe me [because you saw me naked in bed with my ex]... many would feel the same in your shoes." Understatement?
Yes, Frida is obviously pregnant. Because in the world of trope-y tv no one who isn't pregnant ever eats a midnight snack.
Lupe learns that Tizoc not only got his record deal as a result of dealing with the devil (Ahole), but also signed the contract without reading it. Menso.
Ana Sofia, armed with her new knowledge, goes on a binge-y shopping spree, possibly drunk too. That fur coat and hat are really going to be practical, am I right? Anyway, she declares that she won't be paying. The shopkeepers can call the cops or just make her son pay for them. I'm pretty sure any ritzy establishment knows better than to make deals like this. But the dummies go for it.
Mike comes rushing to the scene to find his infantile mom in the shop with some cops. She throws a tantrum when he refuses to pay, claiming he doesn't have the money. She starts tearing and stomping on the expensive stuff when he suggests she return it. He breaks down and pays only when the police get out the handcuffs. Later, at home, she tells the fam about the money.
Ahole is a menacing, abusive dick to his employee who merely asked him if she should let Lupe in. From now on, anyone in that family can get in without asking (convenient for later). Lupe comes in, tells him to leave her family alone, and he reveals his plan: marry me or I'll ruin your family. I've got Mike, Tizoc, your son, your sister, practically everybody by the balls. How romantic!
Meanwhile, Don Chuy gets a freebie on his infiltration of the office because the receptionist has just been ordered to let Lupe's family in without question, but he first stops by to eavesdrop on Ahole's blackmail. Enraged, he goes full Luchador and beats the crap out of the bastard. Unfortunately, this means that Ahole now has Don Chuy by the balls, too.
Thanks for reading guys, please discuss and fill in on the stuff I missed!

Que Pobres tan Ricos Tuesday July 15: Tizoc and Emiliano are insufferable.
- Carmela told Mike she'd try to talk Lupita around, and she's good to her word...
... but first Lupita has to faint, then tell everybody she's fine and she'll get checked out later. Chuy is worried. Perla says thoughtfully, "and she isn't even taking anything... uh, vitamins I mean" ...

Qué Pobres, Lunes 7/14/14 (#135): The Perils of Post-Liberation Stress
I feel badly about not including an earworm on Thursday's recap as Madelaine usually does, so here is one for this episode: Dizzy, in honor of Mati, Perla, and Lupe.
The Great Escape
Grandma Mati is cheery and alert in Tomas's spare room. She thanks Tom and Chuy for finding her when she was "this close" to being lost. She was dizzy and confused and couldn't remember anything, but Chuy says it was actually her bad memory that saved her, because...

Que Pobres tan Ricos #134 A-hole sues Chuy about the Menchaca house. Emiliano continues to act A-holish. Saul tries to get MA to retake his old richy rich life... Chuy's mystery is revealed!! MAAAATIII!! MAAAATIII!!!
Refrito: MA seeing a different woman in wheelchair.
Lupe tells A-hole she’s not afraid of him. He asks if she will bring a wrestler to fight him. Lupe says she is enough on her own to fight with nails and teeth for her son. A-hole changes strategy and gets pleading, asks her to come be a family with him and Emiliano. Lupe is confused at his change of statement. A-hole tries to convince her that she is and will always be the most important for Emiliano. You have nothing to lose.
MA yelling at the staff at the senior center. The manager says he was given paperwork for the woman as Matilde widow of RP… MA is still outraged.
Saul is more calm and asks them who brought Mati in. Was it ARP? Nurse says ARP sent Mati, but the one that brought her was a nurse that used to work for us(the senior home) but quit recently.
Now A-hole is trying to make Lupe believe that she is unstable temper-wise… A-hole reminds Lupe that the school director is witness to Lupe losing her cool in front of Emiliano. (come on Lupe! Wake up and smell the rat!!) Emiliano comes over and is all lovey-dovey with A-hole. Lupe is just frozen there… she even lets Emiliano go alone with A-hole.(she is THAT shocked... about how well these two get together?).
At Fonda, AS is still whinning with herself about having come back to live in the 'cuchitril'. Leo and Frida outside the penthouse door are coaching each other to calm down before they walk in. Leo gives AS two options… we either 1) stay here or 2) we go to the shelter of the indigents(basically homeless shelter).
AS wants booze. Leo and Frida won’t give her any. Leo takes DaVinci on his arm and asks AS to breathe. AS takes DaVinci back and tells DaVinci that he is the only one that understands her. (I missed the detail that Leo told DaVinci that he needed to raise his hand/leg to speak LOL! thanks forum friends!)
MA and Saul out on the street, MA is really ansi, he has to find out NOW where abuela is.
At Fonda, Chuy does not like seeing Lupe so down in spirits. Lupe says lets talk about the finances… we have a lot of expenses and have to figure out where to get more moolah. She tells Tizoc he needs to go get a job and help out. Tizoc says he is only good for ‘the cantata’. Emiliano comes down. Lupe asks him what is up. Emiliano says ‘I am fed up with eating the same thing every day. Can’t we eat something different?’ Lupe is not liking at all seeing Emiliano talk like this, so asks him 'what do you prefer? To eat or not to eat?'

Qué Pobres, Jueves 7/10/14 (#133): Carrots and Sticks
Hola, amigs. I am filling in for Madelaine this evening.
So MA makes his triumphant return to the fonda, and Lupita greets him with a punch in the face. MA has no idea why, but he tries to apologize anyway, and he even mentions the letter (that he doesn't know Lupita never got) but Lupe is too angry to think about it.
MA says he apologized to Mini too, and she took it a lot better than Lupe is, "and then something weird happened." Again, Lupe is too angry to focus on the "something weird" and thinks "apology" is a strange way to describe being naked in bed with Minerva. (Perla and Carmelita are listening at the door, by the way.)
MA doesn't know what Lupe is talking about and says "wow, after all this time I would have thought you'd know me better than that" and Lupe replies sarcastically "you're right about that!" She gives back his swanky hand-crafted upcycled PVC engagement ring, but don't worry! Her finger won't be naked very long!

Pobres, Wednesday: World-cup shunting claims another victim
Hi guys, the game was wrapping up when I left home last night, so I assumed my extra hour of recording time would be enough to catch our show. Unfortunately it went way late and I only captured the first 15 minutes!
I couldn't find recordings of the episode in the usual places online, so I'll just do what I can with what i've got!
Lupita is confused - where's her boyfriend? The family attempts to comfort her. Leo also wonders where he is, wants to call the policuqui, but Saul says they gotta wait 24 hours.
HAHAHA Mini, her mom, and Ahole struggling to heave Mike into the bed. Ahole wants the discovery to seem natural and insults the ladies (he calls them plásticas).
Emiliano continues to be a little twerp. Lupe's mom wants her to chill out and drink her tea.
Don Chuy is caught on a mysterious mission (is he going to get booze for AS or something)?
At the hospital (AS got put there for drinking), Leo says bye to Diego who has been there with him all night for Leo (what a mensch, she's always been so awful to him). Diego leaves to go teach futbol.
Ahole shows up to try to drive Lupita and Emiliano, presumably to take the kid to school and then just "happen" to discover Mike w/ Mini.
Saul has clearly sold himself out, and he goes whole-hog into a product placement for cellphones so noxious I couldn't even make out what the pretense was. They even play that tinkly commercial music in the background. Uniphone?
Here's the worst thing I saw tonight... Ana Sofia tells her son that she'll only consider getting better and going to AA if he breaks up with the futbolista. SO bad. Yuk yuk yuk.
Anybody who stuck with the show till the end (it must have been midnight or later), please fill us in with what else happened. Thanks!!!!!!!

Saul has clearly sold himself out, and he goes whole-hog into a product placement for cellphones so noxious I couldn't even make out what the pretense was. They even play that tinkly commercial music in the background. Uniphone?
Here's the worst thing I saw tonight... Ana Sofia tells her son that she'll only consider getting better and going to AA if he breaks up with the futbolista. SO bad. Yuk yuk yuk.
Anybody who stuck with the show till the end (it must have been midnight or later), please fill us in with what else happened. Thanks!!!!!!!

Que pobres tan ricos July 8: Some cry and drink, one dances, one goes to jail in pink pajamas, and one has a bottle of chloroform and knows how to use it...
Poor Wilma in her fuzzy pink jammies is woken by the police who take her away in chains, accusing her of fraud and delinquent associations.
Don Chuy and Ana Sofia are getting so drunk. She tells him: My father was an important Italian businessman, he seduced one of his maids and I was born. He gave me his name and took me to live with him. It wasn't a bad childhood, but I was always ashamed of my past, of the mother I never knew and didn't want to know. Please don't judge me harshly, and promise on what you hold most sacred to keep my secret."

Qué Pobres, Lunes 7/7/14 (#130): The TAY* of the Hurricane
*It's pronounced "tie"
It's the pause in the middle of the storm that makes you think everything's back to normal and it's safe to go outside. Then the wind whips up again and you get zapped by a loose power line.
Here is the condensed version. Discuss:
- Even though Lupita claims to be disappointed in MA, Carmelita notices she hasn't taken off her ring yet. Lupita gives her blessing to Carmelita's relationship with Chuy.
- Gwendy figures out that Nepo is embarrassed to be seen with her in public, especially around the Menchacas, because he doesn't think she's as classy as Lupita. She fights with him for being a coward and goes home in tears.
- Chuy picks up Carmelita for their date, but they are so awkward and nervous that it's almost a relief when Gwendy shows up distraught before they can leave Carm's place. Chuy goes home alone, and Carmelita tries to comfort Gwendy.
- We catch a glimpse of Mini's father in a large portrait on the wall. I'm sure there's a joke there. Is this an actor we should recognize? A relative of one of the actors? The director?

Que Pobres tan Ricos #129 Happy 4th of July!! ... MA dances for joy in anticipation of his freedom... A-hole and Mini prepare the final act in their deception of Lupe
MA and Saul: MA worried about what Lupe heard/saw. Saul says don’t worry about anything right now than the trial result. Guess who is coming to declare in your favor? The Pope!... nope, Bambi’s girl. So focus… and stay up-spirits.
Frida trying to convince Lupe that Mini was just lying her 10 min abs off. Lupe says put yourself in my spot. I can forgive much except for lies.. She said much true, and things she should not know about. So The thorn is here in my chest. Maybe one day I will be able to forgive. I don’t get it, even less each day. Frida asks if she will continue going to the trial. Doubt it. With Emiliano suspended, I can’t leave him here all day. (excuses… excuses…)
Tizoc at studio coming up with a new song out of his underpit… The studio guys don’t like how he is singing it, ‘sing it as we told you’… They change the tempo to a bit new disco, and they like it more, Tizoc not so much.
Next day at trial, Lupe did not come, MA noticed. Saul calls Bambi’s girl to declare.
At fonda, AS continues to drink… Carm takes the glass right off her hands and dumps the wine into the food… Chuy enjoying the show. Lupe is trying to get Emiliano to eat… but he barely responds… this kid needs a shakin’ so bad… as soon as she leaves the room, he calls his daddy… (sigh!) I am so glad there is only a few weeks left of this, I am getting tired of A-hole’s smiles and smirks of satisfaction as he manipulates his own son and uses him to get his way… GRRRR!!!...
Trial continues, MA a bit down since Lupe won’t show up. Night, next day… Gwendy still working on Nepo, wants to make amends. Kisses galore… Trofeo watches from out the window… more kisses.
Frida at school… the guys ‘open the way for her’… she does not appreciate it at all. Walks on.
Judge asks Saul if there is any other document to present for the defense. No, that’s it. Another day Lupe didn’t show up. MA depressed (I bet he could care less now if the veredict is guilty, he is down for the count already).
Back at fonda, Leo predicts that MA will be declared innocent.. Frida not so optimistic. Lupe is quiet. Perla is making fun of MA. Tizoc rants at her. Chuy asks AS if she will say anything. She says DaVinci has not eaten. She is worried about him. (more so than for MA) She does tell him she understands he’s stressed.
Saul with MA… next day they will say the veredict. MA asks what if they declare me guilty? Does Lupe and my family know tomorrow is the veredict? He would rather them not know, maybe it is better for them to find out after the veredict.
At the fonda, Lupe is praying for the saints to give a hand to her and MA. To St Jude, she asks him to get them out of this big mess. To the virgin, she asks to clarify what is going on, to be able to believe in MA. If not, then open my eyes wide, so I can understand and deal with the truth.
Next day, veredict is ready.
At fonda, Chuy notices Lupe is very worried. And he can guess its about MA’s trial. They think the veredict is next week. Lupe asks what if he is declared guilty? The RPs come downstairs. Tizoc has an announcement. He has a gig with very hyp people… in a showcake (Frida explains he will have a 3 song intervention in some variety show). Tizoc really believes he will be famous and it will be fast like foam.
Veredict: innocent on murder of Adolfo and attempt on A-hole. Also innocent on any relation to Bambi. Complete veredict is innocent… MA can’t help but smile. Vilma is in disbelief. MA is dancing for joy. Saul gets into it too.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #128: 7/3/14: And The Oscar Goes To Mini!
Hola Amiguis! It has now been five days since we have seen Dona Mati, I am keeping count until she reappears, and hopefully that is soon. Tonight was very farcical with the Mini testimony and I have an earworm for just that: The Show Must Go On! I am going to condense, things may not be in order and I am trying to make it short. Enjoy your 4th of July and the long weekend Amiguis!
We start with Mini reading that letter that MA wrote to Lupe and what is Mini gonna do? Isela has a deal for Ahole, he puts the properties, one is the house, in Mini's name. Ahole tells Mini, do what I tell you and you got it!
Lupe and Don C talk. She hasn't heard from MA in ages. Don C tells her to have faith. No one knows how long this trial will take.
Emi calls Ahole and tells him about the sh*tty stunt he pulled to keep Lupe at home. Ahole is very proud of his boy.

Que pobres tan ricos 127: Where do they get hair gel in prison? (and other minor details)
Ana Sofia makes a big show of gushing over the breakfast she cooked. Pretty soon everyone at the restaurant is clamoring for some of that, Lupita rolls her eyes.
Mini's mom tends to the bruise on her daughter's face. Mini pouts. If I can't have Mike, no one can! Her mom tells her to just focus on getting as many bucks as possible out of Ahole so they can afford their expensive lifestyle. Kissyfaces ensue.
Guendy is getting super close to the Banana King, his shirt is open and she's rubbing his chest. She wants more of his time. He protests about a guy he has to meet, but, predictably, she wins. They smooch. He tries vainly to fret about his son, but she shuts that down easily. She entices him to a private dinner at her place later. Oooh lah lah?
Ana Sofia washes dishes. Interesting! Anyway, the mom (forget her name) is rightfully annoyed. I like how she calls AS "Doña Fufurra." The very same Fufurra says this food is far too complicated for simple folk like her to learn to appreciate and cook - it's not garnacha fried in lard.
In Jail, Mike's cellmate meets him on the stairs, calls him "mi Mike," which is cute, and gives him advice about looking calm and confident in front of the judge. Later in his cell Mike apologizes to a Jesus card for his sins.
Ahole drops in at the restaurant. Lupita tries to shut him down and keep him away from Emiliano, but he's actually brought what's-her-name her first modeling check. She goes and gets the kid. Emiliano is completely won. Ugh. It gets worse. The kid has agreed to intercept and steal all the letters Mike sends and block all phone calls and stop Lupita from seeing him ever.
AHA! Guendy's plan is clear! The sexy dinner is actually a meeting with the banana prince! Banana King: I just don't understand how you could like boys. Guendy, attempting to defuse, says "Easy! I love boys!" "What's wrong with girls?" "Meh, there's nothing wrong with girls but manly papuchos really move my turbines. BK's objections seem awfully simpleminded, which is weird given how long he's been brooding over them. He leaves unaccepting. Guendy to the Banana Prince: he'll get there bit by bit, like training a donkey with bits of apple!
Saul tels the R-Ps about mike's court date. Leo gets all excited about courtroom drama until Saul tells him it's not gonna be like the movies and there will be no fistfights. For her part, A.S. is terrified of more press and scandal.
Saul then goes to Lupita to tell her that she'll get to see if not talk to Mike at court. Emiliano, really starting to take after his dad with the evil grimaces, overhears and makes a plan. He will pretend to have the shits to keep his mom home, that little shit!
As the kid is acting sick and running to the bathroom constantly (where he sits on the toilet and reads his comic book and practices his dad's evil smirk), Ana Sofia sees a perfect opportunity to be superior and tells Lupe that maybe her kid is sick from all the low-class food that is served around the house. Geez.
In the courtroom, I totally missed what they were getting at with regards to the "family jewels," (can someone fill me in please?), but it was fun to watch Vilma squirm about saying "balls." However, Mike surprises them all by saying that he couldn't have shot the guy - he was at Minerva's place!
In a boardroom, Ahole is going on about the evils of his cousin and how ashamed granddad would be when he finds that the old dudes have called Agent Chávez in to address their doubts... It seems there was someone else involved in the fraud and her name is Vilma! She has been doing some "strange economic activities."
Ana Sofia will now teach the mom (dang, what's her name?) to cook a simple and "sublime" french vegetable dish. She's a jerk and drinks the cooking wine.
Ahole acts wounded and shocked about Vilma's "betrayal." Agent Chavez is wondering how she possibly could have done all this stuff without help. Ahole squirms and ominously looks at the letter.
Tizoc plays a demo track for some sort of agent who is unimpressed but changes his tune when the kid name-drops Ahole. The agent guy says there might be a market for him but only with a change of image, something more hipster and less provincial then "Tizoc Menchaca."
Nepo, at Mike's jail hearing thing, explains where he got the gun and vouches for Mike as a great guy who wouldn't do anything bad.
The cooking lesson proceeds and it's so annoying I can't even.
AHA! The bullet that killed Girón apparently came from a different gun!
Leo and his sister come home from the jail thing and are astonished to see their mom cooking! "OH. My. COOKING. GOD." Ugh, it sounds like AS wants to get payed for the derisive "lesson."
Ahole, knowing that Mini might be about to corroborate Mike's alibi, brings her the stolen love letter from Mike to Lupita that he had his son steal. She reads it but doesn't look as pissed as Ahole was hoping. Will it change her mind about testifying? From the avances, it looks like it doesn't, as we get to see her gushing in front of the judge about her night of sublime passion with Mike.

Que pobres tan ricos #126, Tuesday July 1: Don Chuy has a secret, Emiliano continues his descent, Ana Sofia cooks breakfast.
As I expected, this was an awful episode.
Nepo is in an awful mood at the lawyers' office. He agrees Mike is innocent of the particular crimes he's being charged with, but he HAS wrecked Nepo's life. Saul wants Nepo to make a deposition concerning the pistol and also Mike's good character. That's just too much, Nepo grumbles and leaves saying he'll get back to him.
Vilma is pleased the case against Mike goes forward tomorrow. Alejo decides if Mike is freed he will blame everything on our poor defunct Adolfo Giron. This makes Wilma sad though she doesn't disagree.
Tomas keeps waving some papers, 'proofs,' perhaps from Don Bambi, also a picture of some reporter. Please fill me in if it's important.
Lupita has money for Nepo and for Don Solomon but is furious to find out Alejo has paid back the debt to Don Solomon.
Top Cop comes to see Alejo, demanding to see Mati. Alejo says his grandmother is not in his house, she's in the best possible place for her (other than the grave of course) and reminds the cop "I am her custodian." "I insist on seeing her!" Alejo gives an address and Wilma calls the nurse to make sure everything looks ok. Grr.
At jail Tomas and Saul assure Mike things will be ok, they ave the laptop. Mike writes a letter to Lupita and gives it to Tomas for delivery.
Lupita storms in to see Alejo (Wilma is jealous) and yells about his meddling in her affairs. He counters by laying it on about how Mike is a criminal and also is shagging Minerva. He brings Wilma in to confirm the story. Lupe doesn't believe it but her resolve is weakening, she knows Mike would do ... almost... anything to get proofs of his innocence... Minerva is listening at the door, very pleased.
AS comes down to make breakfast for her kids, "is that a crime?" she asks Carmelita, who is annoyed. AS says the poor never think about anything but money.
Chuy sneaks out mysteriously again for the second time. This time Carmelita follows him and sees him greeted at the door (somewhere) by a pretty woman. Furious, Carmelita finally rushes over, bangs on the door, and when they open it, she's there with her fists up! Chuy and the woman laugh. Turns out this is the house where Tomas lives. They invite her in and show her something (which we don't get to see) in the next room. Abashed, Carmelita agrees to keep this secret and apologizes for her behavior. Chuy liked seeing her so jealous and suggests they go on a date. They leave arm in arm.
Lupita leaves Alejo's office (after he has once again suggested that she marry HIM, not Mike). There is Minerva, pouring on the innuendo: "Want to know about our spectacular nights of passion in my house?" She says she'll be having a conjugal visit in prison soon. Lupe's exasperation mounts until she head butts Minerva, who then storms into Alejo's office and demands an instantaneous divorce.
Perla amazed to see AS cook. It smells tasty! I was a good wife and mother so I know how to cook etc etc." Perla says she won't have to cook because she is a top international model! Ana Sofia says "your 15 minutes of fame will end, then what? So help me chop already."
Saul tells Mike to rest up for the trial. Lupe comes home upset and Carmelita tells her to hang on. Tizoc gets some good news.
Tomas comes to give Lupita her letter from Mike but gives it to Emiliano instead. He hides it and runs away, then calls his dad: "Should I give it to her?" "No. I'll buy you something special for giving the letter to me."
Tomorrow: Wilma is accused of fraud.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 6/30/14 (#125): Pretentious? Moi?
Prince Emiliano is full of attitude about his mother's engagement to MA, but he does sort of have a point. First they were cousins, and now they're getting married? He's in jail, so what is going on? Emi waves the newspaper photo right in Lupe's face (so maybe he has a point, but he's still a brat). Lupe says, "MA is a good man and you know it. I thought you wanted a father like him." Emi says that was before he met his real dad.
And of course he's really in a mess at school because when his pals didn't believe he had a father, he let them think it was MA; now he has a real father and they don't believe that AND they think his father is a criminal. (And, in fact, he is... it's just not the same father. I'm getting a headache just thinking about how confusing this would be for a kid.)
Frida overhears the conversation and privately tells Lupe she can relate to what the boy is going through at school. She counsels Lupe to be patient with him. Later, Frida visits Emiliano to talk about the way he was bullied. They bond over the helpless feeling of being teased by classmates about foolish things.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #124 Fri June 27, 2014 MA is going bonkers, gets a few more headaches but also gets a new Ace card (Top Cop)
Nepo kisses Gwendy and they end up under the sheets again. But she wakes up alone in bed. She calls his cell. But it gets his voicemail. She leaves a very nice message.
Leo and Frida tell AS she can’t back down now, only two people can see MA in a given day. AS says not that I don’t want to see him I don’t want to take 20 buses to go see him. Leo says DA offered to give them a ride. AS does not trust the fruitman’s son(The cheeky futbol player). DA arrives. AS still nags its not a good idea, she could get an anxiety attack seeing her son behind bars… Dios, send me a signal!
At school Emiliano does not waste a moment to brag about his dad’s money status, but this gets some boys to walk away from him. Emiliano keeps bragging but the other boys tell him they know his dad is in jail. Emiliano ends up defending his ‘dad’ saying he earns his money fairly, they show him a newspaper picture of MA and Emiliano calls him MA. The boys question that and then end up shouting ‘ratero!’ (liar!!/burglar!!). They say the guy in the picture came to see him, they say he is ashamed but it is his dad. Then they shout that Emiliano is a liar!! Liar!! Emiliano calls A-hole with his cell to get some help.
Frida visits MA. They have a nice emotional scene. She tells him someone else is here. MA does not expect AS. Nope, its Leo. Leo says his mom would never step in a jail. MA says with or without mom I am so glad to see you two.
At Fonda, AS comes downstairs. Lupe nags at her that she skipped seeing MA so AS would go but she didn’t. AS tries to excuse herself but Carm says no excuse is good enough.
MA tries to not let Leo and Frida have too high hopes that he will make it out. Frida asks if you don’t get out, how long will you be here? MA can only guess it would be many years. How is Guadalupe? MA says the illusion that he will soon marry Guadalupe gives him hopes. Frida says Guadalupe is so strong, won’t let anyone put her down. Leo says AS found out about the wedding. But the buzzer sounds before they can tell him AS is trying her dandest to convince Lupe to desist.
