PEAM, Tuesday 3/26/13 (#12): Idiots on Parade
Alt title: "All of the Other Reindeer"
(Doesn't that sound like a great name for a horror film about murderous reindeer-zombies? The prequel could be "Reindeer Games" and the third one would be "Reindeer III: Season of the Witch," followed by "Reindeer IV: Rudolph's Revenge" and "Dasher Strikes Again" and then Rob Zombie could do a revival... or maybe I am delirious from chocolate withdrawal.)
(Seriously, though, thank you Blue Lass for the reindeer moniker to describe Avon's peanut gallery.)
Alma knows perfectly well that Rogelio would never have picked out that ring on his own - he can't even remember her birthday, much less her sign or birthstone! But Chucho insists that Rogue really wanted her ring to have a "special meaning," and sure, okay, Chucho helped him with that, but that was all.
Alma doesn't seem convinced. She asks, did he call all of her "friends," too? Because Alma knows that that wasn't Rog's doing, either. If it had been Rog, then only his friends would have been there. (Chucho gives Susana the credit for the invitations.) Anyway, Alma says, Chucho and Pati are her only friends! (Let's take a moment to contemplate how very sad that would be. Wait, no... friends with Chucho? I have no sympathy!) Chucho says it's an honor.
Alma says she fell out of touch with her old friends from school because she was too busy with work and career. She muses that perhaps it wasn't such a good tradeoff. "I was all alone until I met you," she tells Chucho. "But this is a day to celebrate," he reminds the theoretically radiant bride-to-be.
Not content to pester Pati only at home, Fernando stalks her at the gym as well. He is campaigning to be her next boyfriend. "You shouldn't be all by your lonesome. We can become another power couple, like Rog and Alma." Pati says not so fast - who says her relationship with Rog is through? A lot can happen between him and Alma. She didn't stay at his house last night. Besides, Fernando's already dating some secretary. "You'll never sip the refreshing drink of water that is me," she taunts.
Just to make sure that Fern is thoroughly humiliated, Pati adds that he doesn't have nearly enough money to be worth of the likes of her. Fern finally gives up and leaves her alone. Then she remembers Rog calling to ask about "lo nuestro" (referring to her status as perpetual booty call) and is so irritated, she blurts out "imbécil!", offending an innocent passerby.
What this girl needs is some inspiration. Coincidentally, Jesus arrives with Alma.

Amor Bravío #154 (Uni 149) Tue 3/26/13 Gussie’s in cuffs, Hissie’s in a huff, and Nati’s heard ‘nuff!
Natalia has just had her blood test done and encourages a
fraidy cat Yago to go get his. He’s left
behind his cell phone and kazam! She goes straight for it. She sees Dionicio’s message to Yago setting
up that appt w/Yago saying they’re gonna sign a contract – he’d better be there
or else. Yago returns and she quickly
puts aside the phone. Yago complains he
was likely to faint from having his blood drawn. The nurse tells Nati the results will be sent
by email by tomorrow. (eek! What if Yago has an STD?). Nati tries unsuccessfully to get him to come
furniture shopping with her. He explains
he has an appt with a very important breeder.

Amores Verdaderos #94 Mon 3/25/13 She loves me, she loves me not... he loves me, he loves me not... i can't love her, i can't love him... i say lock them up together in a cell for 48 hrs
Odiosa and Anyballs on phone, she does not care about his health, it is too bad he did not die. She says a quick exit would be too easy for him. He deserves to keep on living to pay slowly for all the harm he has done. (this woman has a grudge on Anyballs the size of Jupiter!) She hangs up with Anyballs. In comes her son Estefano and he is irate with her. She should not wish that (slow painful agony) on anyone. We learn from Stefano that she and Anyballs tried a relationship that did not work (it sounds more to me like SHE wanted the relationship but ANyballs dropped her like used goods)
At apartment, Bea and Dances with Guillo arrive to Paula and Cris. Cris takes Guillo away. Paula is very rude in a comment about Dances. Bea is upset that her mother treats Dances like this. Paula does not want Bea to suffer with such a violent guy like Dances. Bea denies Dances is any like Leonardo. Paula says you need therapy, you are repeating the pattern. Bea assures her she loves Dances and will marry him.
Vicky in her study writes ‘maybe it was a mistake, a misfire’. Tomasina comes to see her, says tomorrow she will meet with Opalina. What do you want me to ask her? … (seems Vicky would rather go with Tomasina)
Paula thinks to herself, won’t let my daughter make the same mistake again. She walks into Felipe waiting for her. He insists in them hanging together, she is not in mood for visitors. He is ok with that. She can still count on him for anything. He leaves, she looks back, rethinking his offer?.
At B kitchen, Polita, Gorilita and Angel are eating breakfast. JM standing by.
In comes angry Nil-son asking rudely about Vicky, then barks at Angel ‘is this the way you look after my wife?? (takes Angel’s plate off the table and even does it again when JM tried to return it, dragging JM into kitchen) You are irresponsible!!’ Nil-Son leaves mad, Angel is swallowing hard stopping himself from going after Nil-Son and slicing his tongue for JM to cook for dinner. (ok ,that was a bit graphic but FF idiot deserves it)

PEAM #11, 03/25/2013 – Do Surprise Parties Always Miss the Mark?
We rejoin the party scene at Rogue’s palatial home with
Rogue snearing at the carne asada. An inappropriate it seems guest, Fermin, reveals that he was
invited by Chucho, much to Rogue’s disgusto he shows the guard his name on the
list of invited guests. But he
further hovers around the roast beast, which turns out to be javelina. The lip smacker further advises Rogue
that he should have some better party food to go along with the javelina like
chicharonnes and guacamole.
Another housewife in sweater type approaches Rogue who starts to ask who
she, but then shrugs, don’t tell me, must be another Chucho invitee.
Chatita contends with Veronica who has to be told several
times who she is, this is a good foil since Vero gives up trying to pry info
out of her about who Alma the girlfriend is.

PEAM #10, 3/22/13: What Do They Make at Avon, Anyway?
They Make Plans:
Rogue wants to throw a big ol' surprise engagement party for Alma but naturally doesn't know a thing about her, including who her friends are or her taste in rings, so he delegates it all to Doña Susana. Jesús sees her consternation and offers to help. He cops Alma's address book from her phone which she accidentally left on his desk and goes off with Doña Su and a big wad of bills. What could possibly go wrong?
They Make Trouble:
Paty tries to get info about the party by buttering up Jesús. Gosh, Almita says you're one super sexy secre, didja know? He gets all goofy-face but still doesn't tell her anything. She flounces off.
They Make Promises:
The weedy little cab driver comes back for his reward, and of course Chucho's pockets are still empty. He promises him something tomorrow. Unless tomorrow's payday, this isn't looking good.
They Make Progress:
Xochi calls Jesús and asks him out for coffee; he distractedly agrees. The poor chica is over the moon. Maricela eavesdrops snottily.
They Make Memories:
Alma sees Jesús blissing out over his CD of Valentina pix and sits down to watch with him. She reassures him that it's not his fault he missed her early years, and anyway he'll be there for her from now on. Not every family is happy, she says wistfully. She confides that she would like children herself but is afraid of repeating the mistakes her own parents made.
They Make Excuses:
Vero asks to speak with Doctora Deliciosa after Valentina's session and tells her she is concerned about her child spending time in that Big Bra environment. The Doctora says she sounds jealous. Vero protests, protests, protests too much.
They Make Command Decisions:
Jesús overrides Doña Su's philosophy of "the bigger the rock, the bigger the love" and insists on a simple ring with turquoise, Alma's birthstone. It's wicked ugly, but he's the galán, so we know it will turn out all right -- after a maximum of six months of malentendidos.
They Make Wishes:
Vero calls Jesús and demands to meet his chesty girlfriend. What's her name, anyway? "Alma..." he says dreamily. Rut-Roh.
In Other News:
- The three sillies are preparing a memorable practical joke for "la nueva secretaria." Xochi is not on board, and even Susana hesitates.
- Fer suggests to Xochi that they forget all about the incident in the photocopy room. Ya think?
- Vero almost catches Elías sneaking junk food, which he hides in a houseplant. It should be noted that he looks at it with more passion than he looks at her.
- Rogue arrives home to find a rollicking party in progress on his patio, complete with a roasting pig and a tacky little bald guy who says, "Jesús invited me!" THERE WILL BE FALLOUT.

Amores Verdaderos #93 Fri 3/22/13 Big Boys Do Cry; An Unexpected Engagement
Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman. We have a really great epi this evening. We have secrets and lies all that is missing is the video tape, and we have a surprising development. So sit back with your Baileys , relax and join me on the Patio as I dish the latest on our myriad cast of characters.
We open this epi with Cris and the Angel in Angel's room talking about Angel quitting his job, Cris doesn't want that. Cris tells Angel he is her whole life and the kiss that wasn't really a kiss, just a forehead smooch and a cheeky smooch.
Next we have Guzmancito and Pau and she wants back in his life, but she is still dead to him. He can't forgive her for what she has done, Angel and Cris come in, but go right back out. Pau tries to get Guzmancito to understand, but he isn't having it and she goes, while our wonderful Guzmancito cries his tears and we on the Patio, especially Victoria from Texas, wants to wipe those tears off his face, *sigh*.

Amor Bravío #152 (Uni 147) Fri 3/22/13 The Truth About Dad or Daddy Dearest Rules The Roost…For Now
Capítulo
152
Partes 1-3
Lo Del Pasado:
Daniel has gotten Miriam’s agreement to see the doctor again for permission
to travel back to Chile—when hopefully, Shady Doc is off playing an 18 hole round
of golf that day, so that Mir gets to see his morally upright and totally
incorruptible partner for that long-awaited SECOND OPINION that Viewerville’s been hoping for. Dionisio and Isadora are toasting to putting
the finishing touches to their sinister plans for bending both Camila and
Cayetano to their wicked will. Cam will
have to cede La Malquerida—and probably an amount of personal mattress space to
Dio--and El Tonto de Yippee ¡Yai! Cayó will suffer a fatal heart
attack after tippling back a couple of Issa’s custom Poison Passion potassium
cocktails, a Viuda Negra house
specialty. Dio and Dora, the sexual sicko’s
in this story, have plunged to the depths of degenerate debauchery after the
aphrodisiac of discussing their murderous maneuverings. Bwahahahahaa!!!
Lo Del Nuevo:
Natalia, with Yago the Yutz in tow,
arrives at Daniel and Miriam’s with a wedding invitation for the coming
Saturday. The affianced couple meets Mir
and learns that Dan and Fam are leaving to return to Chile on Sunday. They’ll be there to say their good-byes to
everyone, however.
Back in the bull yards of La Malquerida,
Eleutario and Rodolfo are disputing the truth of what Ileana told Rod about
Yago’s true and most dishonorable honorable intentions in marrying the
deflowered damsel, Rodolfo’s little señorita gone astray, Natalia. Eleutario
mentions that his fruit-seller friend, Leti, told him she saw Yago the other
day picking some street walker up and driving off with her. Rod thinks it’s some stupid third-hand gossip
or something. Eleu tells him La Leti had
no reason to lie to him and knows he knows Nat and that’s why she mentioned it. Well, then, Rod says muy hot under the collar,
he hopes Amanda’s little plan works cuz that yutz doesn’t deserve her!

Amor Bravío #151 (Uni 146) Thu 3/21/13 Amor Encarcelado
Ileana tells Team Cayetano that Isadora has
been putting drops in all of Cayetano's meals.
For now, though, the drops will just be water. Rocio is anxious to have the drops analyzed
so that there's finally proof to convince Cayetano with. Ileana admits she's done a lot of stupid
crap, but she hopes she's making up for it a little now. Rocio hopes this whole experience will help
Ileana adjust her attitude. Mariano
tells Ileana there's no resentment on his part.
Ileana hopes Pablo and Luzma will be happy together. She even asks to give Refugio a kiss. Slow mo hugs all around and sappy music
playing as the allegedly reformed bad girl takes her leave.
Teresa is meeting
with one of Agustina's cronies to gather some proof of her innocence. Crony #1 says she knows Agustina, but they're
not exactly BFF's. Plus she's feeling
deceived since Augie didn't get certified in Vegas. Teresa says she thought she would, but she
was deceived. Crony #1 is also upset
that she referred other people to Agustina.
Teresa promises she'll try to get everyone what they're due, but she
really needs the woman to testify. Well,
hell no, she won't! And what's more,
Agustina should be grateful she's not planning to sue her, as long as she gets
her money back.

Amores Verdaderos #92 Thu 3/21/13 easier said than done... sweeping dirty little secrets under the rug...
Paula arrives at B house. Vicky goes to fetch Niki. Angel questions Paula’s new visit. She just came to sell Avon… jk… she came to teach piano.
In Niki’s room, FoyBoyRoy is miffed that the movie they watched is below par. And of course he has to throw another demeaning comment about Gorilita. Niki nips the subject in the bud saying Guzmi is uneducated gopher.
Vicky comes to get Niki. She does not want to take piano class today(isn’t it always the ‘just this once, pleeeeaaasseee!’ line?), wants to go get a welcome present for Tatito (Anyballs) instead. Vicky will be the piano student today instead.
Downstairs Angel tries to convince Paula to leave but to no avail. Niki, FoyRoy and Vicky come down. Niki and FoyRoy leave to go shopping. Vicky tells Paula she will be the student today, to Angel’s shock.
At KenDrat’s, Cris bit the bait hook, line and sinker, saying Dances is more violent than she thought. KenDrat keeps the play going and throws one last arrow telling Cris that Dances says she is a ho because the man she IS going out with is … wait for it… married??! … Cris is in shock. KenDrat says she fought her feelings. Cris suggests KenDrat talk to Paula, who was lover to a married man… KenDrat bubble thinks ‘stop saying stupid things!’ but thanks Cris for her advise. She is still afraid what Dances would have done if she were alone.

PEAM - #8 - Mar. 20, 2013 -Woody and Jessie take a surprise trip; Miss OCD visits the barrio
Note from Recapper Jody: I have to remind myself not to take anything in this
novela seriously or personally, it’s a comedy. well, it’s supposed to be a comedy
anyway. At various times, the episode has become so pathetic the only thing I can do is
laugh and entertain myself with thoughts like “AVON spelled backwards is NOVA (NOVA)”.
Also, I’ve been renaming characters. For now, my new nicknames include:
Chucho -- Chuckles, Xochi -- Chachi, Fernando -- Woody. And now onto the recap...
Rog packs the money in the little case as he talks with his brother Woody.
Chuckles talks on phone with Vero. She tells him she's on her way to see his place. He
tries to talk her out of going tonight. She is determined and will see him at 6 p.m. sharp.

The old:
On the gorgeous Cozumel beach, Kendra and a man in the front
row of the audience exchange a conspiratorial look.
In the Balvanera kitchen, Nikki is a brat to Lili. Lili stands up for herself. Both realize that Guzmán spent a night
away. With who?
Kendra struts her stuff and poses, sometimes high fashion,
sometimes soft-core. The other models
walk slowly in a white-clad zombie parade.
The camera focuses on Kendra and her ... er ... enhancements. There is an almost hallucinatory composition
of white and blue and beige -- sand, water, sky, white dress and blue feathers.

Amores Verdaderos #90 Tue 3/19/13 Jealousy, bitterness, and . . . more jealousy
Amores Verdaderos Cap 90—3-19-13—Jealousy, bitterness, and . . . more jealousy
Seriously, we had a lot of jealousy tonight.
Summary (based on memory—you know how I roll!).
EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER. Feel free to add or correct recap in comments. (I know I can count on you guys!)
Refried: Big Angel doesn't get why Victoria didn't respond differently to his "confession" (of how there's a woman who has tempted him to stray from the straight and narrow), not realizing that Vicki HAS NO CLUE because he never said which woman was tempting him. "She doesn't know how much I love her" he says to himself (or some such).
The New: Big Angel packs his bags. He's outta there! But no sooner is he out the door than he's in again. He can't leave Vicki. Who will look after her?
* Meanwhile, Vicki has roused Thomasina (aka The Only Sensible Person In This Episode) from her slumber to rant and rave about Big Angel's "confession." "He's tempted to cheat on his wife with Opalina!" Rant rant rant. Thomasina looks puzzled, alarmed, and finally, amused by Vicki's display. She observes that Vicki seems . . . jealous. "ME!?!?!? JEALOUS?!?!?!?" Yeah yeah, Ms. Thou Doth Protest Too Much, yeah you. Thomasina even astutely notes that Vicki is sounding just about as jealous and unglued as Christina does about Big Angel. Vicki is not amused by this comparison at all. Thomasina finally just lets it go, smiles knowingly, and says, "Well I know what I know" (or something) and leaves Vicki in her own puddle of self-delusion.

Straight to the new stuff --
Amanda’s Hostal
Aaron shares a cuppa and some wisdom with Nati. As all brides-to-be do, she sits with her
notepad scribbling down wedding plans.
She’s very busy with the boda.
She originally wanted a small wedding but Daddy Dearest really wants the
huge social event of the year. Aaron
wisely asks she wants. (see how he does that Dr. Phil thing?) She giddily responds she just wants the
day to be here now, she can’t wait to be
married! Aaron is happy because he’ll be
able to attend. He plans to leave soon
after Rafa’s book release. She’s sad to
see him go. He’s been very happy here
and has found it an enriching experience.
He almost hates to leave but his peeps in Chiapas are waiting for
him. Amanda walks in and announces that
through Daddy Dearest’s fault, Agustina’s been arrested! Nati is all impactada, “Que?”

PEAM, Tuesday 3/19/13 (#7): The Bleeping Perils of Fernando's Bleeping Package Bleep Bleep Bleep
Xochi stifles her rage as the other secretarias have the laugh of the century at Chucho in his ill-fitting uniform, a raspberry-colored wreck. Alma herself stops cold at the sight of it. Fernando joins in with some particularly withering comments and even takes a picture (and why does he want such a picture, hmmmm?).
(The secretarias are all so busy making fun of Chucho - do any of them notice the way Fernando dresses? He always looks like he's on his way to a "Miami Vice" fan club convention. That look was mockable enough even when it was actually in fashion. I think it's ten times more hilarious now.)
Alma rescues Chucho by inviting him into her office. Outside, Xochi offers to give the other secretarias the money she won on the bet (about whether he would get fired today or not) if they'll stop laughing. They pause for a moment as if to consider it, but they can't control themselves.
In Alma's office, Chucho half-jokingly suggests that the secretarias conspired with Cardenas and Fernando to get him this ridiculous uniform as revenge for his insulting remarks. Alma tells him it's really not that bad, but they both know she's only being nice. Chucho tries to be a good sport about it.

(The secretarias are all so busy making fun of Chucho - do any of them notice the way Fernando dresses? He always looks like he's on his way to a "Miami Vice" fan club convention. That look was mockable enough even when it was actually in fashion. I think it's ten times more hilarious now.)
Alma rescues Chucho by inviting him into her office. Outside, Xochi offers to give the other secretarias the money she won on the bet (about whether he would get fired today or not) if they'll stop laughing. They pause for a moment as if to consider it, but they can't control themselves.
In Alma's office, Chucho half-jokingly suggests that the secretarias conspired with Cardenas and Fernando to get him this ridiculous uniform as revenge for his insulting remarks. Alma tells him it's really not that bad, but they both know she's only being nice. Chucho tries to be a good sport about it.
Then Alma says, "I know it's none of my business, but are you, um, well, are you gay?"

Amores Verdaderos #89 Mon 3/18/13 A Confession (Kind of)
* Lo refrito: Victoria, the jealous Balvanera princess gets owned by Arriaga. “Yes, madam, you’re right, Opalina isn’t just my spiritual guide. Good night.” Vicky is impactada, and she deserved it.
* Lo nuevo: while Nikki is anxiously waiting for her BoyToyBoyfriend, the aforementioned young gentleman is in the middle of a threesome with two American girls (who surely won the award for the most horrible accent in a telenovela). He says he’s with his coach, and they are making arrengements to his next United States tournament. By the way, he hopes this time his beloved flaquita (skinny girl) will accompany him… as his wife. Neta gets a small heart attack, but manages to feign enthusiasm: oh, that’s great, she wants to marry him so much, and now she’s super happy. Really. Roy promises that as soon as he finishes there *yuck*, he’ll pick her up.

Capitulo
148: The Trap Is Set
Lo
del pasado:
Camila and Mariano look over the bulls; she seems in a good mood. Daniel asks
Augustina about the passports; she tells him they are most likely
still in the briefcase she couldn't get. A reluctant Sherlock Juarez
arrives – with four men – to arrest her on charges of fraud.
Lo de
nuevo:
Parlour:
Juarez says that the Associo por el Mejor Futuro claims she does
not work for them; she says she signed the documents in front of El
Diablo and Hissadora. Daniel says that they must be behind the accusation leading to this arrest. Becerra tells her not to worry; they will get
a good lawyer for her right away. Daniel tells her he will talk to
Teresa about getting her a lawyer. She seems to realize that El
Diablo is behind this arrest and thinks that this was an act of
revenge. Sherlock Juarez takes out the cuffs although he doesn't put them on her.

PEAM #6 – 3/18/13 – Is He or Isn’t He? What? A Gay, A Threat, A Financial Genius
Keep your fingers crossed for a better second week that will
keep our esteemed colleagues on board while this plot is sorted out.
El refrito: Fernando threatens Jesus for wanting to leave
after everyone else has gone but Fernando gleefully hands this ridiculous work
schedule. He begs for reason from
the unreasonable so he can go see his daughter. The famous paws tighten into fists as Jesus reviews his
ignominious arrival before getting to Avon so he humbly says he respects his
boss and asks for the same and return.
El nuevo: With plenty of free time for hanky-panky and no
hanky-Paty in sight, Rogue taunts Alma with a romantic dinner invitation with
candles and flowers. She gives in
and they go off smiling and together for a change.

Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, We have a new communique in the form of a Bark-O-Gram, that I had to get a dog whisperer to translate for me and here it is:

Ms Vikki wants to know about the therapy but Nikki so don't wanna talk about it, stalks off and Tomi tells Ms Vikki she will go after her. The Angel has come in, feeling bad about keeping secrets from Ms Vikki, but she really doesn't want to hear it. She isn't hurt by what he did, now if Tomi would keep things from her, she'd be upset, but hey, the Angel is only her bodyguard, not her friend, got that? Yeah, he gets it, but doesn't wanna.

Amor Bravío #147 (Uni 142) Fri 3/15/13 The Battle for Bulls’ Run, Round Two: Gussie’s a Goner
Capítulo 147
~~Parte 1~~
Luzma wants to give up her claim to Pablo for the sake of a love
she cannot comply with. So, amidst much
soul-searching and serious sobbing, she unleashes the surrogate wife bomb on
Mayalen who, at first, tries refusing Luzma’s ridiculous suggestion.
Rodolfo, meanwhile, notices how agitated the spousally abused Pablo
is as he’s saddling his horse for himself for once. Rod’s job is to saddle the horses for his dueños
and cannot allow Pablo to injure himself (further) by improperly cinching the
saddle and falling off in mid-angry gallop. When Pablo yells that he can do it
himself, Rod offers a bit of free
marital counseling. “--Please her [dar gusto] instead, and give
her what she wants. Whatever it is won’t
last long [temporal= temporary, short duration] and she’ll get over it soon
enough.” (H-m-m-m, I don’t think being
subjected to surrogate wife-hopping is exactly what ol’ Rod had in mind,
though.)
“—But what if Pablo doesn’t want to or worse, what if he does get
hooked on me?” It’s gonna kill her when
he realizes there are other women out there to choose from and finally is gone,
Luzma sobs, but their marriage is not working and it isn’t his fault. He shouldn’t have to suffer like this! (How about just suggesting Luzma ask her psych
to double her meds and double up on her therapy sessions instead? Hmmm?) .
Maya weakens a bit and then finally relents. “—Are you sure this is what you want?” Yup, assures Luzma. She tells Luzma to count on her support then. (Something tells me it’s more like inside she’s
thinking, “--Just point the way and lemme at ‘im!”)

Agustina walks in on
the face-sucking duo of Dio and Isa…in the bedroom! She gives Dio one good smack for it, then
starts telling Isadora off. Isadora is
unrepentant. Agustina threatens to tell
Cayetano, but Dio roughly pulls her back into the room and dismisses
Isadora. Before she leaves, she throws
it in Agustina's face that she was ridiculous to think a playa like Dio would
ever want her. "Tell her all about
our hot nights together under her roof!"
Agustina cries and asks why he married her if he never loved her.
Out in the hallway,
Isadora says it's about time Augie found out so she can have Dio to herself.
Agustina keeps
yelling at Dio, about having trusted him, taken him to La Malquerida, put him
above her daughters. Dio tells her to
shut it already. She enjoyed being with
him, so she can just cut it out.
Agustina demands to know how long he's been cheating on her. Dio won't answer. He's in the middle of a dinner to ask for his
daughter's hand, and no one's going to run in that for him, so she can shut up
the easy way or the hard way.
"What's the difference?"
Dio pulls out a tie and brandishes it in front of Agustina.

PEAM # 4-So Far The Qualities of the Avon Personnel- Silly, Immature, Rude and Horny
Alma is missing Rogelio, while Rogelio is doing the
horizontal mambo with Patti.
Jesus is talking to Chatita about being unemployed. He was offered his job but he doesn’t
want to be a secretary. Chatita asks if he dresses like a woman with those bulky
arms. No, no, no. He considered the secretarial job but he
is over qualified. Chatita tells
him with all of the unemployment, his financial needs and needs of his
daughter, he should be thankful that he has been offered a job. Its better to have something to save
than nothing.
The two small guards are stuck to Jesus who wants to speak
to Alma, who just arrived to the office.
Sorry to says but the only thing that those two inept guards could catch
is a cold.
Vero the zero, calls The Avon Company to find out what type
of job Jesus has, because when she asked him about his job he hesitated. She knows Jesus well and he knows
when he is lying. Elias (the saint, because she is a real pain) doesn’t like
the taste of the coffee and he gets a lecture about how coffee is not good for
you. It’s a drug that irritates the stomach. (She is beginning to irritate
me) He can’t add sugar because it
adds calories, and the milk should be skim. Vero asks for Jesus and the
secretary doesn’t know anyone by that name. Jesus enters the office, is scorned by the secretaries who
were insulted by his secretary results.
The secretary, who answered the phone, asks for his name- Jesus- hmm. She knew it, he was lying. (Vero must eat peppers for breakfast because
she is so mean.)
Jesus speaks to Alma and asks for her to forgive him in regards
to how he reacted to the secretarial job.
Alma tried to call him by cell, but he doesn’t have a cell phone. He apologizes
for acting like an ass. He wants
to know if the Executive Secretary of the Regional Vice President position is
still available. He has to stop
saying perdon.
Vero remembers that when they were dating he always lied.
(With her shining personality, I would wonder why) Elias, the voice of reason, tells Vero that she should
lighten up, maybe no one knows him because he is new. She knows when he is lying and Elias wants to give him
the benefit of the doubt.
Elias feels that he should be involved in his daughter’s life and Vero
disagrees. What a bitter
bitch!! He left her. Okay Elias gets it, but they still have
a daughter. She is stuck on the fact that he owes lots of back child support if
he wants to see his daughter.
The three silly men of the office want to check out who this
new secretary is. Once again
there is a lack of productive work taking place at a major company. They will
ask the secretaries. The hot pink
suits were gossiping about the ruckus that took place yesterday with the idiot. Susana doesn’t get Alma. The
secretaries are hoping that the man is not hired. He insulted them.
Yada, yada, yada. The three sillies couldn’t believe it and start asking
questions. They can’t understand
why Ms. Alma received him as if nothing happened. The 3 sillies are in disbelief.
Fernando is in the warehouse admiring Jessica’s legs while
she works, trying to get a whiff. Good
news- she can come back upstairs, he spoke to Alma.
Jesus is hired as the Secretary. A humbled Jesus thanks Alma for the job. Cardenas wants Jesus to wear the
secretary uniform- the hot pink (fuchsia) suit. Cardenas tries to size up Jesus, but his measurements are
off.
There is an electrical handshake between Alma and Jesus.
Fernando is going to help Jessica unpack her things. Alma wants to know why Jessica is back,
because Jesus Garcia is the new Secretary of the Regional Vice President. Everyone is laughing. Alma introduces Fernando because they
are going to share secretaries.
Jesus gets a cool reception from 2 of the 3 secretaries.
In Acapulco- Rogelio and Patti are still honeymooning. Patti wants to stay another day but
Rogelio has to get back to work. He calls Alma, and is miffed because Alma
doesn’t answer her phone. (Is he serious?)
Xochitil is the only one that speaks to Jesus. Jesus asks who is the one that is
shooting evil looks at him and is always in a bad mood- Susana, the Regional
Director’s secretary and the other one is Maricela.
Jesus answers the phone to a rude Rogelio, who yells and
curses at Jesus and demands to speak to Alma. He is the Director, Jesus tries to transfer the call and it
gets cut off which further infuriates Rogelio. Rogelio wants to know- who is the idiot that answered the
phone. (Rogelio, were you talking to yourself?) Rogelio didn’t know anything about him being hired and wants
him fired immediately. Rogelio is
quite bothered that Alma hired a male secretary.
A tearful Jessica is crying because she has been returned to
the warehouse. Fernando is
confident that the new secretary will not last. He will make his life miserable.
Jesus felt bad and asked forgiveness for messing up the
first call. Alma tells Jesus to
use the word perdon, sparingly. He
is to call her Alma. Alma wants to
know if Jesus needs any software.
The secretaries have been instructed not to speak to the new
secretary Jesus. Susana is very bothered that Jesus said that he is over
qualified. Rule number one- no one
defends Jesus. Jesus will not be
well received in this department and he will learn what secretaries are capable
of doing. (Besides gossiping, acting immature and wasting time.)
Jesus asks for the password for the computer and gets the sarcastic
treatment. They tell him that the
password is info Avon which is incorrect, Xochitil whispers- general03. Fernando calls Jesus to his
office. He didn’t respond because
Fernando called for a secreatria not a secretario. Fernando acts badly and intimidates Jesus because he is his
boss. He orders Jesus to bring him
a hot cup of coffee. Jesus doesn’t
know where the cafeteria is. He asks
the portrait of the Virgencita to help him and Xochitil points him in the right
direction. Jesus tries to make the
cup while Susana watches. She
starts with her sarcastic remarks about how he should be qualified enough to
make a cup of coffee. He
apologizes for his degrading remarks.
Susana doesn’t accept his apology.
Okay, I get it, he insulted the secretaries, they were hurt,
and he apologized so let’s move on.
This silent treatment is childish.
Jesus brings Fernando his coffee, it wasn’t in his cup and
Fernando has a hissy fit. Who knew that it was the giant neon green cup with
his picture on it? It was not hot
enough, this time it was hot enough but tasted terrible. The next cup was too cold,
Jesus wants to throw the coffee in his face and Jessica
knows how he likes his coffee and offers her help, in her teeny weenie
skirt. She shows him how to make
it sweet enough and hot enough.
She takes it to him. He
shows him how to fold the napkin too.
Of course, this time, it was perfect. Jessica tells Fernando that the new secretary is aggressive
and she told him what se heard Jesus says about throwing the coffee in his
face.
Fernando interrupts Alma to tattle on the new
secretary. Fernando tries to fire
Jesus and Alma tells him that he can’t fire him. He tells her how Jessica told him what Jesus said about disfiguring
his face by throwing coffee into it.
Fernando leaves the office since he didn’t get his way. Jesus says perdon once again and Alma
reminds him about the constant use of the word. Believe it of not she has more important things to do, so
she dismisses him.
Jessica thought that Jesus was fired, and Fernando tells her
that Alma took Jesus’ side.
Jessica starts to cry once again.
Fernando is going to call his brother because blood ids thicker than water. Rogelio is not a fan of the secretary
either. Fernando whines all types
of insults towards Jesus and Rogelio is on his way home.
Alma sends Jesus to lunch. He will bring her something to eat since she doesn’t have
time to eat. She is used to not
having lunch.
The four bitter secretaries are talking about Jesus as he
enters the cafeteria. His access
is denied. The three silly men
allow him to sit with them. They
tell him that he needs to bless his food.
They join hands for grace.
They introduce themselves Gilberto, Julio and Roberto, I will continue
to call them the 3 sillies. They
throw indirect insults about his manhood.
One silly asks him if he is from the other side and he takes it to mean
that he worked in Chicago. Another
silly asks if he likes men, and Jesus makes it clear, that he does not to the
enjoyment of the whole cafeteria, with the exception of Xochitil.
Coming attractions- Fernando is still calling Jesus Encanto,
Patti is drooling over Jesus and Rogelio is not too happy. Rogelio yells at a calm Jesus and wants
to fight him

He demands that Agustina make it an affair to remember. Agustina refuses to host if Isa is to attend because she cannot abide having Isa in her home. Dio demands she will do as he says or she can pack her bags and ….. Agustina shrinks back and agrees to do whatever she needs to do to please Don Demon Dio. Agustina thought bubbles her worries about how she will be able to keep up the façade of the host and housewife.

Viewerville is anxious that she don any other age inappropriate apparel than what we have been looking at for the last few days. Bratgirl wanders in and Cayetonto introduces the two and they exchange pleasantries. For now. Yago wanders in and pleads a big favor from Pops and the new missus.

Old stuff: Polita and Lili are sighing over Frankie, Lili silently and
Polita aloud. Jean Marie spies on
Estéfano and Tomi. [Why isn't Balzac
barking like crazy? What kind of dog is
he anyway?] Nikki is still trying to be
honest with the psychologist. Alas, much
of what she believes to be true is a lie.
[But let us trust in the therapeutic process. Right, EJ?]
New stuff: Nikki tearfully confides to her shrink that
her only true amiga is Kendra; and
after being betrayed by the man she loved (that would be our boy Frankie), she
is back with good old, dependable, wouldn't hurt a fly Roy.
Clichés? Yeah, but sometimes they help.
The psychologist talks about her unhealthy relationship with
food. Nikki listens dutifully to the positive, love thyself message and agrees
to do her homework: every day, she'll write three good things about herself or
her life. He warns her not to make any
important life decisions until her illness is controlled. Vikki joins them at
the end of the session and agrees to support the principles of successful
therapy: patience and persistence.
Jean Marie knows
about the power of food too. He
plies Estéfano with a dessert so magnificent -- it's all in the quality of the
wine and the vanilla from Madagascar -- that the two men lock eyes, joined by
the magic of the moment. Tomi gapes in
wonder.

Chatita, in her apartment, reads a prayer on the back of a photo. She puts it down and
goes to living room, and starts to talk to a photo of her husband - she misses him and
her son so terribly.

PEAM #2, Tuesday 3/12/13: The Fateful Bucket of Love
Boy, Veronica wasn't kidding when she said Jesus could have five minutes with his daughter. If anything, she was exaggerating. I think the joyful reunion lasts about 90 seconds. She interrupts because it's time for night-night.
Valentina's full of questions for Jesus: Why are you crying? Why are you so hairy and grubby? "It's a long story," he says. Fortunately, she LOVES stories! She's excited to meet him and wants to know everything. She doesn't seem to mind that he looks like he fell off the back of a truck. She is very impressed when he tells her he came all the way from Los EEUU to see her.
Vero is a different story; she corrects the child's pronunciation of "viniste" (she said "veniste") and tells her again to go to bed. Jesus raises his eyes to Elias in a silent plea for support; Elias signals his powerlessness with a barely perceptible shake of his head.

A just beginning has our hero passing through the restaurant

in Chicago for biceps on bikes to deliver pizzas to the populus. We see Jesus’ incomparably t-shirted
biceps handed a pizza then he gets on a bicycle that sounds like a motorbike
but is just a hunk-powered delivery bicycle. Drivers and casual bystanders shout out his name while he
assures them he is never late. He
seems to know what each customer really wants in terms of chili heat. I just bet he knows how much heat everyone

has bonded with Baby Agata and Miriam ad nauseam ad infinitum and has just left
with Cam whom he’s now counseling in the
drive to forget Daniel by being resolute in her decision to begin a new life
once Dan and family have finally left La Malquerida. (Okay, okay. He’s got ulterior motives here,
but we’ll give him a pass for this since he’s one of the good guys and may fall
for Mir before this shindig’s over.) Cam
has chores to do and walks away. He
walks off to get his truck and runs into little bro, Pablo, who tells him he’s
still hoeing that long road to Luzma’s returned emotional stability, aka, a normal
sexual drive with her new hubby. He’s
certain though, that she’s the one for him and always will be--but damned if
those blue balls aren’t gettin’ to be a passel of a hassle which New Gal Turned
Neighbor will undoubtedly be more than happy to assist in remedying for him,
should it come to that!
Inside
the cabana, Dan has started a new password-discovery program on Alonso’s
computer to try breaking the code. However,
it’s still not working. In walks Mir
with Aggie and Dante. Daddy makes “daddy’s
little girl” goo-goo eyes at her. Mir
mentions she’s going over with the baby to Mariano and Ana’s new digs to help
them move in. Dan says fine and she
leaves Dante there to keep him company.
They can talk to their hearts’ content [largo y tendida= at great

Amores Verdaderos #83 Fri 3/8/13 The Solis Punching Bag makes it through another day as a free man thanks to his mommy, A child you love can't keep a secret, but at least Bea and Guillo are safe.
will edit it later but here is the rough draft...
Refritis:
Leo mangling Bea with knife on her neck… lights go out. Leo goes out to check and when he opens door he is facing Dances’ gun… However, Leo manages to trip Dances to floor… Leo runs to Bea and uses her as shield.
Both Dances and Frankie point to him but just freeze there.
Paula is at hospital seeing Anibal, she manages to tell Anibal he has a 3rd daughter but tries several times to tell him her name, but he has another heart attack and Big Angel shoves her out with threats she will be responsible for Anyballs’ death.
Lo Nuevo:
Leo threats Bea will pay if they approach him. Meanwhile he insults Dances calling him a “sopilote”(bum/nobody) who will never have his woman. Dances barks back ‘when did she become your property?!’
Frankie tries to negotiate with Leo, saying if Bea does not want to be with Leo he can’t force her. Being married to her does not give him right to take her against her will. He kidnapped her. Somehow Frankie is getting closer to Leo as he tells Leo about Bea and Guillo being his family. When Leo stands up repeating the name ‘Guillo’ (surely he has a soft spot in that disturbed heart for his son), Frankie manages to grab the knife and punch Leo into the floor and then Dances starts using Leo as a punching bag with gun in hand. Dances asks Leo now where is your ‘courage’? Frankie has Bea in his arms. Frankie and Bea leave, while Dances tells an unconscious Leo(Dances is pushing his foot on Leo’s head pinching him on floor) to start praying, because maybe he won’t come alive from ‘this one’ (then scans around with his eyes… hmmm, maybe he intends on fulfilling the prediction personally).
Back at hospital, Vicky arrives, but does not recognize Paula as the piano teacher since Paula has scrubs complete with her face mask. Angel feels bad for having lied to Vicky about feeling ill, prays God for forgiveness because she did not prevent the confrontation with Senora Paula. Vicky feels awful since she could have avoided the confrontation with Adriana, then left for just a couple minutes and see what happened (the 2nd heart attack).
Doctor comes by tells her Anyballs is not conscious, Vicky wants to see him for a minute anyways so the Doc gives in. Doc and Vicky leave.
A nurse comes by and recognizes Angel as the model on the tv commercial and asks for an autograph. He responds ‘that is not me, I am Ms Vicky B’s bodyguard, THAT is me! (with a bit of pride in his tone in the end, how easily he forgot he was just apologizing to God for being a bad boy). Poor nurse, she was left alone siging and enchanted with just seeing him walk away.
Back at B/Arriaga apartment, Lili is worried about what Bea is going through. Cris tells her ‘mirror yourself in that so you will choose wisely a good man for a husband for yourself’. They discuss Frankie as being a good possibility. Lili’s hopes get deflated when Cris tells her she confirmed with Bea that Frankie is married. Lilli is not hungry. It was a strange day. Many things happened, wants to know how Adri is doing after she found the stones in her daughter’s grave. Cris gets miffed at Lilli worrying about Adriana. She lies saying she is worried that Angel has not reported in all day. Lilli tells her when they were at cemetery she felt like hugging Cris. Cris gets her spirits up and they embrace in a nice loving hug.
At hospital chapel, Adri is praying to the virgin that no one knows her sorrows like her. But only ANyballs can answer her questions. Please don’t take him away yet. Will not be able to forgive him, ever.
At Anyballs bed, Vicky is crying, tells him he is a very strong man, fight for your life. We all need you. Know lately we have had differences, but my love for you is intact. ‘I know you will talk to Adriana and will clear her doubts. What happened with Lucia, where she is…’ you can’t go leaving my sister sunk in the anguished darkness.
Back at B house, Niki is handling the stress in her favorite way, with a multi-level tray of cakes and cookies with chocolate syrup. In comes Roy with wine and freezes at the sight of her swallowing cake pieces whole… she comes up with the excuse of her stress. Grandpa dying, family breaking down… Roy mentions family might fight for the Anyballs inheritance. Niki does not appreciate the comment, in her own special vocabulary… ‘zero que ver con tu comentario, neta!...’ he is sure Anyballs put her as his universal heir(even adding his own vocabulary referring to Niki as Anyballs’ ‘consen’ (consentida))… Niki gets even more irritated. ‘que onda con tu planeta? Se salio de orbita o que?’ She says its real bad taste to talk money when someone is so gravely ill. She does not care about the money, only that ‘mi tatito’ stays alive. Roy pushes on, saying he would love for Anyballs to be there at their wedding… Niki pulls away and he stops pushing buttons. But immediately is miffed at her for constantly rejecting him. She apologizes (FOR WHAT???!!), feeling ill, he gets a bit slurpy kissing her face. I understand. I have loved you all my life. You are no. 1 in my rank list, flaquita. (OH PLEEEEZZ!!! Someone hand me over a puke bag please!!)
Frankie and Bea on street by Leo’s mom’s place, saying Dances and Leo are taking too long. They are worried of The grannie not turning over Guillo if Leo takes too long. Suddenly, Leo’s car comes with Leo driving and Dances in back seat. Frankie gets Leo out and drags him around some more. Dances warns Leo ‘you know what you need to do, you better do what I told you, or you won’t have time to talk about it.’ Inside, Guillo is asking Grannie when will dad come for him. Loud door knocks, and Grannie hides Guillo and looks worried hesitating to open the door.
Back at B/A apartment, Cris and Lilli still worried. Paula arrives. Needed to talk to someone. Cris asks if she heard about what happened to Bea. Pau asks where was she. When Cris tells her Leo had kidnapped her, Paula goes beserk. Grabs Lilli and yells that Leo is very violent, will kill her!!. Cris tells her that Dances got a call and he and Frankie went to get her. And if Angel knew about it he would have gone along, but he is too busy, been MIA all day, maybe he has been doing the powwow with his boss lady. Paula tells Cris he is at the clinic. Cris gets alarmed, Paula clarifies ANyballs had a heart attack. Paula cries saying everytime something is going on with my kids, I am with Anyballs!!. She confirms to Cris and Lilli that Bea and Frankie are her children. Cris and Lilli’s jaws are all over the carpet, they are in shock.
Back to Guillo’s Grannies… Bea comes in asking for Guillo. GUillo comes out of hiding and hugs her. Then he notices her bumps and bruises all over her face and gets sad. Leo, Frankie and Dances are also standing around. Bea asks him if he noticed who else came to see him. Frankie hugs Guillo very lovingly. Guillo tells him he has news, his parents got back together. Frankie gets sad and tells him that his dad (Leo) has something to tell him.
Dances, who is standing behind Leo, pokes him with the gun and reminds him on what they agreed. Then steps away. Leo greets Guillo his usual way (Cachorro), then tells him he and Bea were talking and realized they can’t be together. Guillo is sad. He insists he loves them both. Leo hugs him, Guillo is still denying it as true. Then begins to cry as Leo explains it is normal to get sad when parents split. You are brave, you just have to work with it. There will be changes but it will be like when we went to watch your (futbol) games together. IT will be same, but after the game you will go home with Mom. Bea comes over and tries to console a devastated Guillo. Slowly you will get used to it, and all you need to remember that for your dad and me you will always be the center of our lives. Bea asks Guillo to kiss dad goodbye. Guillo hugs Leo as if he did not want to let go. Leo reminds him to think he is the son of Leo Solis. Frankie gets Guillo back off Leo, then tells him that Dances will take him to the car while Frankie and Mommy talk to dad. (Dances takes him away).
F: Now we will talk!
L: I did my part already.
F: Yeah, you returned Guillo to Bea. But what about all the years of abuse!, of violence you gave her! The hours of anguish she lived not knowing about her son?? And the time you had her kidnapped??!!
L: Look, lil’l BIL!!! I am fed up with you!
F: And to wrap it up…
L: What are you going to do now?
F: Call the police to accuse you for what you did to Bea, because kidnapping implicates jailtime!! (Grannie screaches in horror)
At hospital, Vicky tells Adriana that Anyballs will be alright. Doc says he will have meds for the rest of his life, he needs to stop smoking and do exercise, and most importantly, we have to avoid him any traumas/strong emotions.
Adri asks when Anyballs will be released. Doc says don’t know. He is still in ICU but recommend you all go get some rest. (Doc leaves)
Adri cannot be convinced in ‘waiting’. ‘I have waited 18 years, hasn’t that been enough? … it is easy for you to talk, because you have your daughter at your side.’ Vicky says she understands her anguish and also wants to know what happened to Lucia but don’t want my dad to die. I am sure you don’t either. Please, wait a bit longer. (Adri is not convinced and shoves Vicky’s hand away) alright, will wait, but let it be known I am doing it for you, not for him. (leaves)
Vicky asks Angel if it is so wrong/evil to ask Adri to wait. Angel says what is right and what is wrong/evil? You are fighting for the life of your dad. Ms Adriana is fighting to find her daughter. Both of you are right. But what is right and what is wrong/evil?
Back to Leo’s house, Grannie pieads to Frankie for Leo. ‘your son commited a crime and has to pay!’.. Grannie goes to Bea to try her luck with her.
L: IF what you want is to see me on my knees begging you, it won’t happen!
(to Bea) see what you caused?
B: No, you are wrong, Leo!! All I want is for you to forget about having me, please!! And to be a good dad for Guillo! That’s all I want!
(Frankie has to push Leo off Bea again)
L: Your brother and your ‘friend with rights/privileges’ really collected on me nicely! First they push me to return my son! And now you all want to lock me up in jail(al bote). (Frankie has heard enough)
F: You have been following Bea. You threatened her and ended up kidnapping her!! But it is over!
Grannie found her voice: My son is very impulsive (atrabancado), but he has done it all for love!!
F: Please, you asked for it on your own!
Frankie has the phone in his hand and begins to dial the police. Leo pushes his mother off from between them. Leo goes for the phone and he and Frankie begin to wrestle. Grannie grabs a huge vase(nice attention to detail on props staff, the flowers in it are plastic, dollar store flowers, and cheap vinyl curtains with flowers on them) and smashes it on Frankie’s head and back, leaving him unconscious and yells at Leo to run away(he kisses her forehead and runs out), while Bea tends to Frankie, yelling at Grannie ‘what did you do?? What did you do, Senora??! Grannie replies ‘he is my son!!’. Frankie is unconscious. (what?? No blood with that huge heavy vase?? Heads bleed from someone just blowing on them!!’)
At apartment, Paula has finished telling Cris and Lilli the story. Cris tells her you are a neverending surprise bag. But why do you always lie? Lilli asks why not tell them about Bea and Frankie being her children? … Paula says she was trying to protect Anyballs. Frankie is very impulsive and proud. He would never have forgiven him that she was lover of Anyballs, the owner of the house he works at. And he is still ignoring it. Can’t even imagine what will happen when he finds out. Door knocks. Guillo comes in, along with Dances. They ask him for Frankie. Guillo says Frankie stayed behind to talk to my dad. My parents will divorce. Then he talks to Paula as his ‘abue’ and goes to hug her. Dances notices Guillo calling Paula ‘Abue’, Lilli tells him she is Bea and Frankie’s mom.
Lilli takes Guillo away to show him some flowers (Gertrudis).
Paula asks Dances about Bea and Frankie. Dances says they must be at police station.
Meanwhile, Adriana is ringing bell at Paula’s place. Of course she is at Cristina’s. Adriana remembers Paula yelling at her at hospital ‘go ahead, spill your hatred!! But then don’t come looking for me to ask what happened with your daughter!!’
Back at Leo’s… Bea tending to Frankie with ice on a towel. Grannie is apologizing, she could not allow them to lock up her son in jail. He is all I have. ‘Betty, you know how much he loves you’.
B: Aida(Grannie’s name), Leo is ill. What he feels for me is not love. He had no right to take Guillo away from me and to retain me on threats and cruelty.
Grannie: Forgive him! You are a mother like me. IF my son goes to jail, what will I live for? … Frankie, we have been family.
F: Dona Aida, I can’t risk Leo harming my sister again.
G: But after all that has happened today, you think he will dare do anything again? Please have compassion! Please!!...
Bea tells a disbelieving Frankie that she won’t accuse Leo. Leo can be whatever… but she does not want to cause Guillo an even stronger pain when he finds out his dad is in jail.
Back at B house, Niki and Vicky talk about Anyballs health, don’t want him to die. He is strong. He will get better soon. Vicki changes the subject to Niki. A few days ago Roy did not exist, and now he ‘lives’ here. Niki says since they were kids Roy ‘lived’ in the house. They would take him along on trips. Vicki admits Roy is son of her best friend. Nice but a bit unstable. A bit superficial (on right track, you are way short there). And I don’t think he is the ideal man for you. I am even surprised about your relationship, you are even talking wedding. Niki says don’t hallucinate. He loves me and I do too. Let’s see what happens. Vicky says ok. Niki says everything is ok. She is happy Roy returned. Vicky asks what is Roy’s rank.. friend? Boyfriend? Or formal boyfriend (Fiancee)? … one more question. What about Guzman? .. Niki says what I lived before Roy is not important. Roy is my present and what I want to live. Vicky leaves it there and suggests they go downstairs to eat, takes some convincing but Niki gives in.
At B kitchen, Polita and JM talk about Anyballs getting through it. They are sad Anyballs won’t eat chicharron (Fried pork skins) anymore. Greek salad with goat cheese… yum!! .. JM and Tomasina talk a bit too much about Niki eating the salad being good for her. Polita asks what is wrong with Niki’s health that suddenly she is going to doctors and taking meds. Tomasina says that due to all the dieting Niki has not eaten very well lately. Polita comes up with her own diagnosis, worms in her stomach. Then Polita says she misses Frankie, hopes he is having a good time with his family. The subject moves on to Felipe’s debt, how did he pay? … not sure but not important. Polita makes a comment about Frankie’s hard times with Niki (la ricitos de oro), leaves pacing like a French maid with a ‘Con per mua’ (LOL!!)
Angel is on cell phone with Cristina trying to explain ‘the day he had’… with Anyballs heart attack. Cris asks how is he. Angel says better, but still in ICU and not allowing visitors. Cris tells him about the kidnapping rescue Frankie and Dances did. And now the gossip queen in Cris can’t resist telling him also about Paula’s secret being Frankie and Bea’s mom.
At dinner table, Niki is reluctantly eating. Niki notices Vicky is a bit sad.
Vicky tells her she loves her.
Meanwhile, Paula asks Dances to not tell anything to her son. Dances says ok. Lilli asks Dances if he is sure they made sure Guillo did not see anything violent. Dances says Frankie and him ensured Guillo would not realize the kind of father he has. Then Lilli asks about ANyballs. And gets a pain in her chest when Dances explains Anyballs got ill when he argued with Adri about her child. Right then Frankie and Bea arrive. Lilli gets worried. Bea says she is ok thanks to Frankie and Bea. Frankie tells Dances Bea won’t accuse Leo.
Bea thanks Dances for all he did. Dances says you can count on me always.
Paula comes out… greets Bea lovingly. Frankie has a grumpy face realizing now he will have to give Dances some explanations (his and Bea being Paula’s kids)
Previews: Adri struggles with Paula about the whereabouts of her daughter.
Dances tells Frankie if he finds out Leo tried anything with Bea
Angel and Vicky have an intimate moment.
NO AMORES TONIGHT!!! Por Ella soy Eva finale is 2 hrs long!!
Refritis:
Leo mangling Bea with knife on her neck… lights go out. Leo goes out to check and when he opens door he is facing Dances’ gun… However, Leo manages to trip Dances to floor… Leo runs to Bea and uses her as shield.

A few days ago Roy did not exist, and now he ‘lives’ here. Niki says since they were kids Roy ‘lived’ in the house. They would take him along on trips. Vicki admits Roy is son of her best friend. Nice but a bit unstable. A bit superficial (on right track, you are way short there). And I don’t think he is the ideal man for you. I am even surprised about your relationship, you are even talking wedding. Niki says don’t hallucinate. He loves me and I do too. Let’s see what happens. Vicky says ok. Niki says everything is ok. She is happy Roy returned. Vicky asks what is Roy’s rank.. friend? Boyfriend? Or formal boyfriend (Fiancee)? … one more question. What about Guzman? .. Niki says what I lived before Roy is not important. Roy is my present and what I want to live. Vicky leaves it there and suggests they go downstairs to eat, takes some convincing but Niki gives in.
At B kitchen, Polita and JM talk about Anyballs getting through it. They are sad Anyballs won’t eat chicharron (Fried pork skins) anymore. Greek salad with goat cheese… yum!! .. JM and Tomasina talk a bit too much about Niki eating the salad being good for her. Polita asks what is wrong with Niki’s health that suddenly she is going to doctors and taking meds. Tomasina says that due to all the dieting Niki has not eaten very well lately. Polita comes up with her own diagnosis, worms in her stomach. Then Polita says she misses Frankie, hopes he is having a good time with his family. The subject moves on to Felipe’s debt, how did he pay? … not sure but not important. Polita makes a comment about Frankie’s hard times with Niki (la ricitos de oro), leaves pacing like a French maid with a ‘Con per mua’ (LOL!!)
Angel is on cell phone with Cristina trying to explain ‘the day he had’… with Anyballs heart attack. Cris asks how is he. Angel says better, but still in ICU and not allowing visitors. Cris tells him about the kidnapping rescue Frankie and Dances did. And now the gossip queen in Cris can’t resist telling him also about Paula’s secret being Frankie and Bea’s mom.
At dinner table, Niki is reluctantly eating. Niki notices Vicky is a bit sad.
Vicky tells her she loves her.
Meanwhile, Paula asks Dances to not tell anything to her son. Dances says ok. Lilli asks Dances if he is sure they made sure Guillo did not see anything violent. Dances says Frankie and him ensured Guillo would not realize the kind of father he has. Then Lilli asks about ANyballs. And gets a pain in her chest when Dances explains Anyballs got ill when he argued with Adri about her child. Right then Frankie and Bea arrive. Lilli gets worried. Bea says she is ok thanks to Frankie and Bea. Frankie tells Dances Bea won’t accuse Leo.
Bea thanks Dances for all he did. Dances says you can count on me always.
Paula comes out… greets Bea lovingly. Frankie has a grumpy face realizing now he will have to give Dances some explanations (his and Bea being Paula’s kids)
Previews: Adri struggles with Paula about the whereabouts of her daughter.
Dances tells Frankie if he finds out Leo tried anything with Bea
Angel and Vicky have an intimate moment.

Amor Bravío #141 (Uni 136) Thu 3/7/13 Amor Despierto
It's been quite a long day, so I'm going to be summarizing a lot more than usual. I'll slow it down if anything really important comes up….
Dionisio knows that Agustina is working to get evidence that he's Hector Gutierrez. Dio mentally vows revenge. Agustina is jumpy when he comes into the room finally…her beanie may be slipping because she actually notices he's looking at her strangely.
Vivi, Rafa, and Aaron report on the day's progress at getting Isadora thrown in jail for good. Leoncio's testimony just wasn't compelling enough, but hopefully Amanda's and her neighbor's will be. Miriam enters and has Caridad bring baby Agatha (poor kid…that name's going to suck when she grows up) to the window so Daniel can wave and croak at her…good thing she's not in the room or that might have freaked her out.
Osvaldo will be at Amanda's early tomorrow to escort her to the police station to give her testimony.
