Que Pobres tan Ricos #49, 14 March 2014...Some folks are truthful about their feelings or lack of them when they are wasted in alcohol

Chuy, Lupita, Frida and Gwendy are all standing around the cement pile… Mati keeps helping opening the water faucet. MA comes out, asks how is it going? Chuy leaves. AS I thought, one of the times they asked Mati to open the water, Frida lost control of the hose and everyone is getting a shower.


Downstairs, it is wedding day!! Every white balloon in MC was bought and filled for this place. The wife is very pregnant. JT and Frida are commenting on this btw. JT says they kill two birds with one stone: wedding and baby christening. She tries to rant at him but he says you laughed at the joke too…

CK goes to Carmelita. He wants to toast with her for the couple. Chuy comes in to stand between them. CK looks much better showered and clean shaven. Chuy says go be the host of your guests. Chuy drags CK away, Carmelita giggles because she realizes Chuy is jealous about her.

Time for the first dance for the couple, again, cumbia. Oh boy, the couple on top of the cake are taller than the cake itself!! Nepo comes and congratulates CK on the party. Then he spots Lupita and wants to talk to her. She is too busy. You still angry at me, right? You are killing me with the stare. Lupita confirms she is. Carmelita is happy dancing around. Gwendy comes to Nepo. Are you still mad at me? He is… Gwendy says when you get over your anger, let me know. Nepo looks at the liquor, seems fairly good per his facial expression.

Lo que la vida me robo #88 3/14/14: Something something ...

Lo que la vida me robo—3-14-14

Recap later, discuss amongst yourselves in the meantime! 

Hello everyone, UPDATE SUNDAY NIGHT: 
This has been an unusual weekend! I'm spending it in the hospital, hanging out with a family member (who will be okay). I've been watching robo on hulu with my phone & iPad. I'm going to try to write some sort of summary, but it's a bit dodgy on a phone, as I can't seem to get my browser on the ipad to work!



got some screen caps to work! Squee!



RECAP, briefly, from my iPad. events not always listed in order, please forgive, it's hard to edit on an ipad!

JL catches Ale burning the drug money at the beach. But rather than busting him, the have a heart to heart over a beach campfire. JL tells Ale that Monserrat hates him (JL) right now, and perhaps that's for the best. Monserrat thinks JL betrayed Ale, but that's not JL's style. JL talks about what a blessing Angel is, how much he cares for her (quiero, not amo) and he'll be empty when she dies. Ale is reassured that Monserrat never cheated on him with JL, but JL says, when Angel dies, he'll keep trying to get Monserrat back, that's just how he is. But... It's better that Monserrat hate JL for now... during this exchange Scheming Prima is watching them with great interest...

Bitch Maria fill scheming prima of Ale in on all of Ale's history. Scheming prima flatters Bitch Maria, telling her she's prettier than Monserrat, and so forth.

JL interrogates sleazy drug dealer who rats out Angel's dad (I think?). He feels very betrayed, and that's why he's ratting him out. he doesnn't know the identity of Joaquin's socio (business partner).

Ezequiel tells Medina that they haven't got enough evidence to pin anything on Ale. Medina tells him that he's got a powerful friend, he's pulled some strings, and they can get Ale now. Make haste!

Macario is warning Ale about JL, he thinks maybe JL conspired against Ale; I am missing something here. Ale doesn't think JL is conspiring against him. But I think Ale's a little worried. He asks Monse where she went to (or something) and is reassured by her answer. She is all loving concern about him.

Dim is joining the navy, and is sincere. Capt. Robledo knows Dim's dad would be so proud. Robledo has Refugio be in charge of Dim. Refugio acts very agreeable in front of Robledo, but as soon as they're alone, he unleashes his outrage on Dim, who says, hey look, I understand that no one believes me, but give me time to prove myself. Refugio later goes to JL to update him on the latest with Dim.

Hot Lawyer (co conspirator of Scheming Prima) is family friend of Josefina. They have a visit and she tells him how Dim is turning out okay. He was a gold-digger at first, but now that's all changed. Hot Lawyer is sure that Dim is a good guy. He smiles... Graciela comes in, all cool and aloof, and Sandro (Hot Lawyer) is all thrilled to see her.

Monse is reassuring Ale of her concern and love when in comes Ezekiel, ready to arrest him! Uh oh!

Sandro aka Hot Lawyer, has coffee with Fina and Graciela. He tells Graciela how his client is the niece of Benjamin, daughter of Ben's sister. Imposible, exclaims Gracie, the sister was sterile, couldn't have kids!

Both Ale's mom and wife wail in despair at Ale being taken away, but he kisses them both for goodbye and goes with the police.

Sandro is talking about his 'client' and the whole process of figuring out if she's an heir of Benjamin's, will Ale fight this? Monse says no. Graciela is all intent on this topic because she's obviously not happy to think Ale will be sharing his inheritance.

Drug dealer is visited by Medina, who offers him a deal: confess and I'll make sure you have to only serve a few years. Dealer says no thanks. the next scene has Angel's dad (whose name again escapes me) being furtively handed a switchblade by a guard, I think the blade is from Medina. No sooner has he pocketed the knife than Drug dealer spots him in the prison yard, comes over to accuse and argue with him for being a traitor. Angel's dad has his buddies pin down Drug Dealer, as he explains something (?) and then stabs him. Goodbye Drug Dealer.

The last scene is of Ale being checked into jail, the humiliation of having to state to the crime he's been accused of to the admitting guard, having his photo taken, and so forth. Ale gets to his cell and who is in a nearby cell but his old buddy, Amgel's dad! Angel's dad looks all teary-eyed as Ale gives him a venomous stinkeye.

END OF EPISODE!!! Didn't see the avances, but am sure they are MUST SEE TV!!!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #5- Fri 3/14

De que está confundido, está confundido!

Diana and her honey enjoy some post-coital champagne.  She really needs to cut it out with all that "I love Diego" business.  You keep on using that word, Diana…I do not think it means what you think it means!

Abdul heard from Paolo that Diego showed up at the house and he's pissed.  He wants to go confront him, but Carmen tells him to stay out of trouble.  She makes him Vulcan-promise.

Diego was suspicious about not being able to get in touch with Diana.  She's doing a terrible job of lying, but it appears his suspicion was a ploy.  He tells her about hiring Karina and she whines about what an exhausting day she's had.  Diego's trying to chill out with some poetry, but he can't stop thinking about Natalia screaming at him earlier and he's incredibly confused about it.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #71 3/14/14- Shut up, Ara.

Scenes are combined and condensed.
Part 1
Dafne tells Art and Isa that Ara is a hipócrita and that she wants Este AND Javier. Ara denies this and says she's not interested in Este. Dafne says Ara broke the rules first. She begs Art to let her explain and drags him away.

We are "treated" to a nano-snippet of Bruno and Ally. How is Bruno not ready? When they first met he wanted to have kids. dAlly has always wanted to be a mom and now they have this opportunity. Aaaand cut to Art and Dafne mid-sentence. Thanks for the crappy edit, Univision.


Then we get 10 minutes of "she said, she said"


Dafne and Art:  Dafne just wanted to spend some time alone with Este since it's so uncomfortable with Ara and Javier always around. She swears she had no intention of any hanky panky. Ara is a beach and has been treating me like trash. She's wants to humiliate me.  She bad mouths Ara and thinks Ara has forgotten everything Art taught her. Art is the best dad. She gloms all over Art. The sound of her voice makes me want to do violent things. 


Isa and Ara: Dafne wants to sleep with Este and she's really pushing him. Isa wants to know why Ara is so worried about it? Ara says Este isn't in love with Dafne. Isa presses again "Why does is affect you so much?" Ara swears she's not in love with Este. Isa encourages her to forgive and forget and not throw away her friendship with Dafne. Art and Isa forgave all of Ara's bad behavior, didn't they?

Joaquin Arechiga Had A Job

Amalia Arechiga and her children, Angelica and Virginia, have never known just what Papa Joaquin did to make a living. He kept the family in fine style and, well, such questions can make for very awkward conversations. Really. Only Amalia’s Tia Prudencia seemed to have a handle on just how Joaquin made his money.

Mayor Pedro Medina and Joaquin are alone in the visiting room in the Aguazul jail. Pedro tells Joaquin that he is nothing more than collateral damage in Pedro’s grand scheme. Pedro threatens, once again, to make Joaquin’s daughter’s suffer if Joaquin does not make the telephone call. Joaquin takes Pedro’s cell phone makes a call.
“Is everything ready? I am away from Mexico but my associate, Alejandro Almonte, is ready to meet you. I’ll text you the address.”

The call is part of Pedro’s plan to set up Alejandro Almonte, to create the perception that he is an honest and truly, cross-my-heart-and-I-hope-to-die narcotraficante.

Joaquin makes the call and then bitterly turns to Pedro and says, “I have never mentioned your name to This Guy. I am not like you, Pedro. I have not betrayed you.”

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #48- 3/13/14- Night and Day



 

Hola Amiguis! The obsessed keep being obsessed, and MA really needs Ms Julia's, "Premier Design and Construction Company TM ". Want to know more, please read on to find out what the heck happened on this capitulo. Since I started the week with a nice Sinatra earworm, I leave you this week with another: Night and Day

Since MA helped Lupita with those wedding plans for CK (Chilly Killer's) godson, she will help him calculate how much it will cost for the supplies he needs to enlarge the Penthouse on the roof.

Oh, lookey here, who has dropped by the Fonda you ask? Sharky wanting his lana (money). He gets that from Lupe and offers MA a loan at 15% while Lupita is shaking her head at MA. So they go up to the Penthouse so MA can get something to sell to Sharkey for the money he needs for the Penthouse rehab. Some things are taken out, but there is that coat of AS', you know the one, 100% Chincilla! Sharkey tries it on, is luxurating in that fur and offers MA 4,000.00 Pesos for it. MA says it's worth at least 10,000.00 Pesos and not a penny less. They bargain back and forth and MA sells the Chincilla for 6,000.00 Pesos. Kaching! MA gets a reciept and the money in cash. Sharkey has tried on that fur again, as Lupita laughs and tells MA he now has enough for the materials.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #4- Thurs 3/13

De que ganaste el puesto, ganaste el puesto!

Natalia and her boss are reviewing the Help Wanted section together, trying to find something better suited to Natalia's new degree.  They find a secretarial position that just happens to need someone good with computers.  She calls and gets an interview the very next day.  Her boss gets to work making her a lucky new job vibes amulet.  She's clearly the nicest boss ever.

Diego's carjacker kindly requests his wallet.  At gunpoint.  He takes out the cash, then tosses the wallet itself out the window, where it's caught by Abdul.  Of all the stinking luck!  Two cops see this happen and think that means Abdul is the carjacker's accomplice and they haul him off to jail.  At the station, the guy taking Abdul's statement says he's heard the "I was just standing there and someone threw a wallet out of a car" story before.  He at least lets him make a couple of calls and get in touch with Padre Juancho.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/12/14 (#47): Mike and Lupe Plan a Wedding

Beto looks as though he's going to collapse beneath the weight of all those roses. The snooty friends tell Ahole that Mini and Mom haven't been to the cloob all day. Enraged, Ahole tells Beto to throw the roses in the trash. No, Beto's not allowed to give them to his girlfriend - he must throw them out! He gets in a golf cart for a ride to the refuse area, but I bet those roses never quite make it into the trash...

At the market, Carmela and Guendy catch up on the Nepo/Lupita gossip, such as it is, and then Chilaquiler (Chila-Killer?) starts flirting with Carmela. He's reallllly looking forward to seeing her at his godson's wedding this weekend. Carmelita doesn't seem to hate the attention, but she's not comfortable with it either. She's even more uncomfortable with Guendy's enthusiasm, because in case you haven't noticed, Guendy is on a mission to get everybody in La Nopalera hooked up with someone! Chila-Killer is a very sloppy eater, too.

Speaking of slobs, JT is rubbing his armpits with his hands and sniffing them. (Didn't someone around here mention Mary Katherine Gallagher recently?) Frida claims to be horrified, but that doesn't explain why she continues to hang around and taunt him if he's truly as unbearably stinky as she claims. He puts his smelly hands on her face, and she just stands there complaining instead of running away to disinfect herself, so I still say it's love. Or at least pheromones, baby!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #86, 3-12-2014, Pedro vicariously gets his groove on; Nadia and Montserrat fall into a trap to slander José-Luis


At least the pigeons always seem happy. 

Welcome Everyone!  It's another beautiful day in Agua Azul, but evil is a-brewing, as always.  Let's check in on some of our favorite residents, shall we?

Nadia and Pedro’s Mansion, Agua Azul:  
Nadia finds María hanging around in the living room and wants to know what she’s doing there, assuming that María is probably looking for Pedro and that they are up to no good.  Before María answers, Adolfo walks in and tells Nadia to cool it, and that, in fact, he asked María to come because she needs work and he thought maybe Pedro could help.  Nadia tells Adolfo smugly that this is a waste of time, noting that they don’t need another SERVANT in the house.  Adolfo defends María, telling Nadia not to humiliate her (María) since she (¡pobrecita!) is having a REALLY hard time right now.  Maria uses this as her opening to complain about how Ale got back together with Montse, and they threw María out like trash.  Nadia informs María that she brought it all upon herself.  


Latest recruits on Team Pedro stand their ground in the face of Nadia's snarkiness

Nadia notes Alfie and María’s closeness and wants to know if there’s something going on between them.   Alfie says what if there were—and what’s it to Nadia anyway, and Nadia informs him that nothing good will come of his being with a tipa like María.  At this moment Victor walks in, calling Nadia “Mi Amor.”  María has a big ol' ironic laugh seeing them together, though Adolfo seems to be shocked and quickly is back at Nadia for her hypocrisy saying that she should watch what she says to Alfie since nothing good is going to come of her being with an idiot like Victor.  Alfie wonders what Pedro would do it he found out about Nadia and Victor, but Nadia informs him that Pedro knows everything.  Adolfo can't believe Pedro doesn't care.



FYI, our adulterous relationship has been officially sanctioned by the municipality

Diana takes Rodrigo's condition as an excuse to eavesdrop on Diego and then rub herself all over him.  Once she's outside, she calls the maid at the house and offers her money in exchange for NOT finding Natalia.

Que Pobres tan ricos #46...Nepo's date plans backfires, Tomas finds out about the 'primos'. MA back to work. An upcoming MA/Mini meeting starts to snowball and not in a good way.

Nepo comes to pick up Lupe, she thanks him, he says I am just in LUUUUUUUVVV… no kiss since Lupe sees MA up there.


Nepo has taken Lupe out to eat at a fairly humble café… Chinese food menu. Funny how Nepo speaks ‘chinese’. Lupe does not want to order but Nepo orders a huge steak for her and tamarind juice.

Nepo begins by apologizing for the other nite. All forgotten, says Lupe. She is just thankful now and ever. Nepo toasts to her, the most beautiful woman in the world, and for the unforgettable nite ahead. Later, Lupe says she knows Nepo has planned a romantic nite, but she has not dated in so long… (excuse #353… Lupe asks Nepo about DA’s mom. He says she just left them. Lupe says she asked because she knows very little about him. Nepo says it was hard work that got him to his ‘banana king’ status. He just needs a little chance to show her all he can do for her ‘and with her’. Lupe says if there is one thing she is sure of is that he is a man through and through. But as far as getting to know each other, easy does it. Nepo does not want secrets between them… he wants to take her to a special place. Lupe says no its getting too late and don’t want to leave Emi alone too long, is not used to hang out in the street at nite. (Nepo remembers Gwendy’s advice that Lupe’s reluctance is positive…) Nepo insists that the place he is going to take her is very pretty… Lupe gives in to his persistence. Nepo wants her to close her eyes for the ride and he will let her know when to open them once they get to the special place. Lupe protests but gives in as long as it won’t take them too long.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 85, Tues., 3/11/14: Holy Guacamole!

From his studies, Harlow concluded that sex alone did not drive societies, nor did mother love enable individual social relations.  Rather, normal sexual and parental behavior depended on a wide array of affectional ties with peers and family early in life.
From A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Harry Harlow.

Since tonight was a bit of a snooze, I thought we could take a moment to review what we've learned over the past several episodes.  (Feel free to skip this resumé, if you are all caught up in the story.)  As you can see, the writers have cranked out enough unlikely circumstances to carry us through to spring and summer:

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #2- Mon 3/11

De que las cosas se complicaron, se complicaron!

The fact that Natalia and Diego just met yesterday make it easy for Rodrigo to pretend to be his brother, though she does notice the difference in kisses.  She just thinks he's being silly.  When Diego catches up to her later, he doesn't explain being on a bicycle or wearing a different shirt.  He's just glad to find her alone, so he turns back around to go confront Rodrigo.  Rodrigo keeps insisting on playing his little sicko twin game and wants to "share" Natalia.  Diego decides to enlist the help of the Bro Boys to lock Rodrigo in the room while he's taking a shower.  He's ultimately released by Diego's not-girlfriend and her friend who have shown up to crash Diego's vacation.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #67 US 3/10/2014 The Padre's Dead, Zenaida Survives but will Cuca and Tita?

Well Amigos, we dodged one bullet and got hit by another. PSMA stayed in its time slot at 8PM but Uni is up to the old tricks again, deleting scenes and combining episodes. Monday's episode was a sliced and diced scrambliation of episodes #86 and #87 in Mexico. I didn't know Uni was going to start doing this again, so I only watched the first episode online. I'm sorry to say that I missed lots of the dialogue in the second half because the closed captions were lagging way, way behind the conversations. I'd really appreciate if all of you could help fill in what I missed in the comments.

As usual - and I was really hoping I'd never have to type this again - deleted scenes are in italics. Some scenes have been combined:

Leftovers:
Javier realizes the private investigator is following him.
