TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day, Thursday, December 11th 2014 Cap 140: El Gran Final.
My dear Reinamaniacs this is it - the final episode and recap of this wonderful show that has entertained us night after night. It has been such a joy recapping this show. Thanks to all the recappers for their wonderful recaps and thanks to each and every one of the commenters who made watching and recapping this show even more enjoyable.
Now on to the recap of the finale....
He's Been A Very Bad Cop This Year
The "Black Falcon" in CIA uniform and sunglasses enters his car where ORBO is waiting for him at the wheel. ORBO is dressed in black and wearing a cap. His glasses are nowhere to be seen. Thank goodness. Victor and ORBO have a nice chuckle. Victor sarcastically laments Chrstian's fate and calls him a poor sap. Victor pulls out the red diamond and shows ORBO.

Now on to the recap of the finale....
He's Been A Very Bad Cop This Year
Bad Cops Bad Cops Whatcha You Gonna Do Watcha
You Gonna Do When They Come For You
Navier, Moto, and Izzy race over to where the corpse of the masked man is.
Navier unmakes the poor sap and is surprised. It's not the Falcon. It's not even a Hawk. It's none other than TWCILV - Christian. Navier calls a red alert. He wants the place surrounded and no one must leave the premises.
Izzy the resident CIA clown decides to crack a joke. "Who would have thought? TWCILV went from cop to criminal while I went from criminal to cop".
[Good one, Izzy!]
Fooled By The Falcon Yet Again
I dare you to swallow it
The "Black Falcon" in CIA uniform and sunglasses enters his car where ORBO is waiting for him at the wheel. ORBO is dressed in black and wearing a cap. His glasses are nowhere to be seen. Thank goodness. Victor and ORBO have a nice chuckle. Victor sarcastically laments Chrstian's fate and calls him a poor sap. Victor pulls out the red diamond and shows ORBO.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day, Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014 - 139: Countdown to the Gran Fin.
[Episode 139 was originally aired in the U.S. on Nov. 28, 2014]
I am sure that I can't write a recap half as entertaining as NovelaMaven's of yesterday but here goes as we hurtle towards the end.
Don't joke about Mom! Channeling Agatha Christie, Juanjo
pulls a gun and tells Reina that the murderer is always the one no one
suspects. Reina can’t believe it. She says this must be a joke. JJ grabs her
and shows her the shrine to his mother.
He says that she was a marvelous woman. She never should have died so young and left her Chiche alone.
Even after the amnesia, the drugs and everything, the Dragon can still remember a casual conversation from 10 years ago - “Chiche” repeats Navier, “no puede
ser.” FELS and Izzy ask what he knows. Flashback to Nav and JJ joking around as Valet Parkings.
Nav tells Juanjo that he got him a job at Estefi’s wedding. Said Estefi drives
up and conspicuously calls Juanjo "Chiche" several times even blowing him a kiss.
“Chiche?” asks Navier. JJ says that he doesn’t know why she calls him Chiche
sometimes – a rich person’s eccentricity. Back to the present. Nav pulls out
his phone and dials.

A whole lot of beaming going on...
Reina has just discovered that Christian is in league with BSC Estefi. She doesn't get it. Why? Estefi beams an encouraging smile Christian's way as she rocks her Cabbage Patch Newborn. "Tell her how her disgusting father also ruined your life. Tell her."
"It's true," says Christian. And it gives him so much pleasure to see Reina like this, reduced to nothing, ruined and at their mercy.
During this scene, Christian and Estefi can't seem to keep their hands off Reina. One of them is always patting or stroking her head or hair, but the touch is intrusive and swings unpredictably from gentle to painful. Now it's Estefi who starts patting and smoothing. "You're both crazy," Reina cries. [In this she is accurate, perhaps, but neither imaginative nor strategic.]
 |
| As long as we're talking -- how about putting in a good word with Connie for me? |
Christian, however, is happy to tell her a little story that will explain everything. "My father worked as a bodyguard for Estefi's father. He tried to prevent a massacre and he paid for that with his life."
Moto returns to Navier and catches him trying to sit up. She scolds him and reminds him he needs to rest!
Cobra beams adoringly at the little emperor in her arms.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day, Monday, Dec. 8 - 137: Countdown to the Gran Fin.
We are down to the final four episodes, my dear Reinamaniacs. From what I can tell, we are now seeing the episodes as they were aired in Mexico. These last shows do bounce along rather breathlessly and in places they are pretty choppy, with some startlingly ragged transitions from one scene to the next. So strap on your beanies and hold on tight -- we'll get through this together!
Monday, December 8, 2014, Episode 137 (originally broadcast in the United States on Nov. 25, 2014)
Screen shots courtesy of Jean the Magnificent!
In which:
Reina discovers the root of Estefanía's thirst for vengeance;
Victor learns the truth about the baby switcheroo;
Navier saves his life by playing possum;
And Estefi reveals a secret ally!
Parking ramp -- Oh no!! Not again!
Navier slumps down unconscious in the front seat as his car fills with fumes.

Reina tells him that it could be dangerous if he doesn't receive a treament NOW.What happened to her could happen to him - she lost eight years of her life and hasn't been able to get them back. She tells him he has to receive the treatment. She tells him the drug has been used on other people with good results. She tells him he has to do this for her and for himself. She tells him he needs to get his life back. She tells him they need to get their life together and love back. She tells him she needs him more than ever. He asks her - "How can I be sure you want to cure me and not kill me?" Reina replies with an "I love you". Reina tells him Esmeeth is his mother. Does he think his own mother would harm him? She tells him Moto is his colleague and admires him. She tells him PELS respects him. She tells him they all want him back and want to help him. She once again tells him she needs him. She tells him she needs her friend, lover, and hero. She tells him she needs him by her side.

Bridal Shop - Perhaps this kiss will prove to you that I'm not a ghost
If I kiss her maybe she'll believe I'm not a ghost
Connie continues to believe Izzy is a ghost until he pulls her against him and plants a nice juicy kiss on her. Does she still think he is a ghost? She can't believe he is alive. Juanjo has entered the bridal shop and calls Connie's name. Izzy tells Connie not to tell anyone he's alive or else he'll really be dead. Izzy hides behind the wedding dresses. Juanjo wants to talk to Connie.
Hospital, Estefy's Room - Who cares about Laz? Not me.
Susana visits Estefy and asks her if she knew Agatha was Greta's daughter. Estefy admits she knew and has known for some time now. "Why didn't you tell me?" Susana asks. "How could you have kept quiet about something like this?" Susana asks. Susana tells Estefy that Laz knows the truth. Susana tells Estefy that she is afraid of what Laz could do. "The worst thing he could would be to confront Victor" Estefy says. Susana who probably is still the only one in this novela who hasn't yet realized Estefy is evil tells Estefy that they have to help Laz. Estefy shows her true colors and tells Susana that she doesn't care about Laz. Estefy tells Susana that she only cares about Greta getting better and getting her daughter back. CMD [Corrupt Man Doctor] comes into the room and tells Estefy about the disappearance of his wife [CWD].

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 135.
Emilia's Bar - He's no Batman, he's a Dragon and he's taken, sweetie!
"What do you mean you're staying with her?!" Reina asks Navier. "You heard BRUNO you can leave now" Emilia tells Reina. "He's NOT Bruno, he's Navier" says Reina. "He's BRUNO DIAZ to me" says Emilia. "Is this a joke?" Reina asks. "Bruno Diaz...BATMAN" says Reina. "I suppose she's your BATGIRL" says Reina referring to Emilia. "This is serious" says Emilia. "Of course it's serious" says Reina. "You don't have to tell me" says Reina. "Basta! [Enough!]" Navier tells Reina and Emilia. He doesn't want to hear them arguing anymore.
Laz tells Moto he lived a love story with Greta. It was a real love story. It was passionate and marvelous. It was one of those stories you only live once. Moto tells Laz that he's talking like an adolescent. She tells him that he did not live anything with Greta. "Don't say that" Laz tells Moto. "That's how it was" Moto tells him. "You two weren't a normal couple" she tells him. She goes on to tell him that they didn't have days and nights together. They didn't have ordinary things. They didn't share the good and bad. They didn't resolve conflicts. They didn't pay the bills. They didn't have rountine things. Their relationship stayed platonic. "The male nurse and the lady, the poor boy and the rich girl" she says.

Esmeeth's Apartment - Where is the PHoo Juice when you need it
PELS and Esmeeth are smooching in her room. They pull back when they hear Connie shrieking from the living room. Esmeeth will go see what is happening. PELS offers to go with her but she tells him to stay there because Clara and Asuincion are in the other room. Esmeeth leaves the room.
If I just stare at her maybe she'll stop shrieking!
In the living room, Connie shrieks until she passes out. Izzy is still in the living room looking at her and is silent.
Laz & Moto Apartment - Really Moto? A platonic relationship. They had a daughter for goodness sake.
Laz tells Moto he lived a love story with Greta. It was a real love story. It was passionate and marvelous. It was one of those stories you only live once. Moto tells Laz that he's talking like an adolescent. She tells him that he did not live anything with Greta. "Don't say that" Laz tells Moto. "That's how it was" Moto tells him.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 134.
Capítulo 134 – Starting at around minute 47 in the US
broadcast on Friday, Nov 21. (the last part of Friday’s 4-fer!) Text in red is what was in the US broadcast.
Emilia’s Bar – Do I hear $15 million?
Reina is knocking on the door of the bar. Navier and Emilia are in the kitchen looking through the window of the door into the main part of the bar. “It’s her,” says Emilia, “the woman from the television. You must be Javier Bolivar.” Reina keeps knocking and says that she needs to speak to the owner. Emilia starts to go to the door saying that she has to open it. Navier asks why. Is she is doing it for the $5 million? Navier tells Emilia that he will give her $10 million if she doesn’t tell Reina about his being there. [Navier is pretty willing to give away money he didn’t even know he had until just now.]

Estefi is holding Cobra’s stolen baby and sobbing. She says that she will be with the baby all the time, take him to school and sing lullabies to him. López 3.0 is in the room. Estefi tells him that the baby looks just like his papa, Navier. “Cómo dos gotas de agua, Señora,” literally, “Like two drops of water,” says López 3.0 obediently. Estefi agrees. She has never seen such a similarity. She says that the baby looks like her too. The baby is a perfect mix of the two of them. Estefi clutches the baby to her breast and says, “you are my son, you are Javier Nicolás, my son. There’s a knock on the door. FELS comes in to Estefi’s room. Estefi shows him the baby and says, “look who’s here! It’s your uncle.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 133.
Episode 133 televised on Friday, 11/21 from 35:40 - 48:00.
In which:
Izzy isn't dead -- or is he?
The search for Navier becomes a media circus!
Juanjo's sad secret is revealed! (Who knew he had a secret?)
There are two deliveries but there’s only one live baby
Navier may have forgotten many things, but he remembers he is the hero of this telenovela.
He comes to the rescue of winsome Bar Lady, beckoning her to his side and ordering the Three Stooges to leave. "Who are you?" barks the biggest stooge. "None of your business," says Navier. "All that matters is that she has someone to look out for her -- and that's me." Having no idea he is dealing with the Dragon, the big stooge makes the mistake of reaching for his gun. Navier shoots it out of his hand. "The next time, the bullet goes in your hand -- or your head, depending on my mood, which, at the moment, is pretty bad. If you come back, you'll leave feet first. Now GET OUT! And you, leave the money."

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 132.
Here's a little update, folks. Because of the President's speech on Thursday, Nov. 20, it seems that 4 (that's right FOUR) episodes were squished together on Friday, Nov. 21. Yup, episodes 131, 132, 133 and 134 were smushed into something incomprehensible. We won't be done sorting out that single broadcast until Wednesday, Dec. 3!
I can't really tell you how the rest has been divvied up. I do know that the show officially ends tonight, Monday, December 1. (This final episode, by the way, is numbered 141 on YouTube.) So we are recapping a show that technically no longer exists. Whatever.
We'll keep doing our best to bring you the story, one chapter a day, basing our recaps on the episodes as they were shown in Mexico. We'll probably be done with this insanity by Friday, December 12.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And to get the week started, here is my recap of Episode 132, the second part of the 11/21 broadcast version:
In which:
Navier escapes after 5 months in the new PHoo Lab but his memory is gone!
Estefy gets a new López.
Mauro gets out of jail free but it won't be long before his future is all sewn up.
We learn the identity of the Costurer@!
We suspect that pudgy ORBO may have an edge.
And we meet a new rival for Navier's affections!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of November 24, 2014.
Hola Reinamaniacs!
We are trying a slightly different approach to recapping our beloved novela that Telemundo has trashed. Since two-fers, much less three-fers are horrible to recap and too much to take in, as of Thursday, November 13, we started telling the story one Mexican episode at a time -- A Chapter a Day -- regardless of how it is broadcast in the United States.
That means we will fall further and further behind the televised shows. We're guessing that Telemundo will air the gran final on December 1, but we will probably finish recapping the show on December 11.

Of course, this all depends on the continued availability of the Mexican episodes. Telemundo could get nasty and make them hard to find. If that happens, then we are stuck with what they decide to show in this country and we'll have to regroup.
Deb has put together this schedule for U.S.A. broadcasts of Reina. (It is based on currently available information, but you never know what Telemundo might do.)
November
17-mon... 125/126
18-tue... 127/128
19-wed... 129/130
20-thu... 131/132* this was pre-empted by the President's speech
21-fri... 131/132?????? it looks like what was broadcast on Friday starts where Wed.'s episode ended so I 'm not sure what is going on. Maybe they will double up Tue and Wed's episodes that were supposed to be singles.
24-mon... 133/134??????
24-mon... 133/134??????
25-tue... 135/136???????
26-wed... 137/138??????
27-thu... Thanksgiving
28-fri... 139
December
01-mon... 140 (gran final)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the "anti-tijeras" schedule for our CarayCaray recaps of episodes of Reina as shown in Mexico:
November
13-thu... 121 (posted two weeks ago)
14-fri... 122 (posted two weeks ago)
17-mon... 123 (posted last week)
18-tue... 124 (posted last week)

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of November 17, 2014.
My Dear Reinamaniacs:
If we were Telemundo programming executives, we would surely see the wisdom in running this witty little spoof of a telenovela through the powerful maw of the network Plot-Compactor.™ We would understand why two or three whole episodes are being crammed into a time slot meant to accommodate only one. We would realize that whole episodes of Reina could not be shown late at night or early in the morning because... well, just because.
But since we are mere viewers, we can only marvel at the incoherent mess that the Plot-Compactor produces and at its uncanny ability to remove all narrative flow (and almost every light-hearted moment) from Marcela Citterio's brilliant, if wonderfully insane and convoluted story.
In case you missed last week's conversation in this space, listen up. We've decided to try a slightly different approach to recapping. Since in this case, the Dragon is in the details, as of Thursday, November 13, we started telling the story one Mexican episode at a time -- A Chapter a Day -- regardless of how it is broadcast in the United States.

Miércoles – Parte Uno
ORBO and Estefi are brought into CIA headquarters by
FELS and Esmeeth. ORBO didn’t think this was how he was going to have a talk
with Esmeeth. FELS tells Estefi that he needs to talk to her. She asks if this
is part of the interrogation. “Take her away,” orders FELS. [Why is he allowed
to be anywhere near her?]
Susana comes into Juanjo’s bedroom and sees him in
bed, asleep with his arm around Connie. They’re dressed but she is shocked.
Dra Moto takes off her shirt. In comes Laz with the
baby. He hastily looks the other way while she covers herself. She explains
that she about to take a bath since she was working all night. “Well, not all
night,” corrects Laz. Laz says that what happened between them should never
happen again. Moto agrees.
Juanjo and Connie wake up hung over. “Did they really
sleep together?” asks Connie. “Shhh. Don’t say that,” replies JJ and then finds
a note from Susana congratulating him or getting together with Connie. She
wrote that he is better than Christián and Connie is better than Yoli.

Friends: NovelaMaven had already written the text below when we decided that I would do the post this week so that I can put tonight's episode for Caroline in the post instead of in the comments because I am going to do a 3-fer for what I hope is the last time. See you in the comments!!

My dear Reinamaniacs:
Hold on for dear life! Our wild ride is careening to a premature end! We have, what, two weeks to go? It looks as if tonight and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) will be triple episodes and then we'll get doubles right up to the end.
We have two new crazies in the mix -- Alicia aka The Cobra and Secret Agent Number 69 aka Julio César Blanco.
We left Moto and Laz in the middle of their hastily contrived civil wedding. What's wrong with Moto? Is she having a panic attack? Or is there something more nefarious going on?
We met and said goodbye to the Mysterious Emperatriz Picasso all in the course of a night or two and learned about her quasi-incestuous past with FELS-PELS-GELS.
We discovered that Big O was an impostor -- Original Recipe Big O had been locked away in a psychiatric hospital for years!
BSC Estefanía has conquered her fear of guns and shot her way out of the manicomio!
Asunción finally knows that FELS is her long-lost son Gregorio Pérez. Unfortunately, before she has had a chance to process this knowledge, she has been kidnapped by Crazy Agent 69, the writers' writer who can no longer draw a line between reality and fiction.
And now, the Queen of Hearts herself has fallen into Crazy 69's clutches!
Will the Dragon save the day?
Monday recap of Capitulos 113, 114 and 115.

My Dear Reinamaniacs:
Here's a new page for the weekend. Make yourselves at home here -- laugh, wail,
rant, o lo que sea -- while I try to
make some sense of Friday's triple episode.
For now, please enjoy Anita's brilliant creation that was
posted on Thursday, but that some of you may have missed in the embarrassment
of riches that is Page Two:
THE WISDOM OF THE DRAGON
Subtitled: I Cannot Reveal Who is Making This Up
WEEK SIXTEEN – Mon Oct 20
He who hesitates when facing a dragon, loses.
When el llamado de la sangre regarding dragona daughters is in doubt and he doesn’t believe the child’s mother, a dragon can turn to DNA; but should be skeptical about believing the results.
A Dragon trusts no one, not even science. (See prior entry).
A Dragon always greets his mother with a drawn gun.
A Dragon can survive torture, as long as he remembers all the other things that were done to him that were worse (like abandonment in a church as an infant and being raised in an orphanage).

Reina de Corazones, Tuesday, November 4, 2014 -- capítulos 101, 102, 103:
If it weren't for Dr. Mala Suerte, the Dragon family would have no luck at all.
My dear Reinamaniacs,
This recap got absurdly long when I tried to incorporate all three episodes in one. I hope you are okay with meeting on a separate page just this once. It was simply too unwieldy to chop the thing up and load it into comment boxes.
[Cut scenes are bracketed and in blue.]
The Reina is in Spain...
And it's the first time we've ever seen Victor in anything but black. Victor tells Reina and Navier that Lopez was shot twice, the kill shot through the head suggesting a mafia hit. At first, he thought it was the work of The Organization, but now he's thinking it could well have been Estefi who gave the order.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- La Reina de Corazones - Week of November 3, 2014
The real villain in this novela appears to be Telemundo, which smushed 3 of the capitulos broadcast in Mexico into each of the ones broadcast here on Mon through Thursday with huge parts of the story cut. Marvelous Mauricio has made it possible to see the Mexican episodes on a new blog here.
THANKS SO MUCH MAURICIO!!!
We all hope that the smushing will end soon. Let Telemundo know your opinion of this at:
Te.Escuchamos@telemundo.com
And since tomorrow is election day all across the country, enjoy this:

P.S. Just a reminder — we don’t discuss previews here. We only talk about what has actually happened in the episodes aired on American television. You may, of course, spin Crackpot Theories™ to your heart’s content.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- PAGE TWO: La Reina de Corazones - Week of October 27, 2014
Reinamaniacs need a little room to vent about the new ultra-rapid PlotCompactor™ that Telemundo has recently installed. Some of us feel it's Not quite Ready for Primetime. But may some of you like speed-watching...
Look for Thursday's recap in the comments below. This week, Jean has graciously agreed to fill in for Mauricio. Thanks, Jean!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- PAGE ONE: La Reina de Corazones - Week of October 27, 2014
So many questions for Reinamaniacs this week --
Reina and Navier are in Madrid — have they finally escaped from the Victorian Era for good? Will they have a chance to live their love?
Will Navier realize that Clara is a dragona?
Will he find out who is trying to kill Reina?
Did FELS-PELS-GELS get to Asunción in time to save her?
Will FELS-PELS-GELS realize that Estefanía is BSC*? And if so, what will he do about it?
[BSC = Bat Sh*t Crazy]
Will Esmeeth be able to forgive FELS-PELS-GELS when she finds out all his dirty tricks?
Will Grandma Paz remember where Greta has hidden the damning evidence against Victor?
Will Greta ever wake up?
Will Connie ever shut up?

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones -- week of October 20, 2014
We learned at the end of Friday's episode that Reina is in "últimas semanas." Since Telemundo has only just started filming the replacement, a remake of Pasión de Gavilanes, we all hope that they will air the full 140 capitulos (60 more) of our favorite novela.
Thanks to Mauricio for changing his day to recap and to Stevie for doing my Wednesday slot while NovelaMaven and I are unavailable this week. I am in New Orleans but without any access to TV.
Enjoy!!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones -- PAGE TWO: week of October 13, 2014
Hola Reinamaniacs!! There's some fun stuff going on on our favorite novela BUT the curse of the Red Diamonds has taken effect - both NovelaMaven and I are going to be unavailable all or most of next week. Mauricio has kindly agreed to do NovelaMaven's Tuesday recap and NovelaMaven believes that she can do Thursday. That leaves Wednesday. If anyone could volunteer to recap Wednesday's episode, that would be awesome. Witty headings are completely optional and the recap can be short and sweet. If you've never done one, this is your big chance. It's really fun. Thanks in advance.
