Caray, Caray!

And Kidnaps Victoria, Laurito, Romina, and Also Amelia For Good Measure.  Lots Of Other Awful Things Happen, Too!

My swan song final full recap, folks.  Enjoy!

Warehouse o' All Nefarious Activity

Montserrat has been chained into a fancy-looking water torture box by Pedro and his goons.  The box is filling up slowly and steadily.  She calls for help.  The water will soon be over her golden head.

Almonte Beach House

Half of Agua Azul (Dominga, Macario, Josefina, Esmeralda, Rosario, Padre Anselmo, Carlotta. Nadia, Romina) has gathered together to worry collectively about the fate of Montse.  The only person not present is Graciela, who is in her bedroom alone in her anguish, having just confessed to Padre Anselmo that she has been lying to everyone about her illness.  Carlotta asks Padre A. if Gracie needs anything, and he responds with one of the best lines of the night:

"Yes," says Padre A. "She needs the presence of God in her heart."

Very much on board with Padre Anselmo's diagnosis of what ails Graciela

Hola amigas/os.  I thought this was going to be another grumpy Karen installment but by God’s grace I had a Lupita heavy episode.  I recapped a bit of the two dunces who kidnaped Diego in spite of my  poor nerves (think Jane Austen’s Mrs. Bennet) but later pulled out my recapper privilege card.  But I promise I included the important stuff.  Thanks so much Sara for this important option.

Rod manages to escape his latest conquest and almost – unfortunately almost–  gets caught by the police.

Refrito: Fer thanking Ana for being there in this moment. Ana saying couldn’t be anywhere else but at your side and with him.


Outside in waiting area, IsaSkank returns and Fanny tells her Fer and Ana went in, Isa turns green. Leon arrives to support Fanny, ‘don’t worry, everything will be alright’.

Ana tells Fer to talk to Nando and tell him everything his heart wants to tell him.

My son, my great pride and joy, please forgive me. When you get better, I have many plans for us. We can go camping like when you were little, remember? Remember I taught you to shave for the first time? It turned out all uneven (laughs). We can talk by a bonfire, we can talk about everything we haven’t talked about, you can tell me about your life… and I will tell you about mine. I need for us to talk… time does not come back… we have to make up for all the lost time, the time I wasted… I want to get to know you, what you think, what you feel, I want to hear about your dreams… I need you to get better, I know you will get better. You like the idea of camping? … we can have a great time, dear. You and I alone…. I need you, son…. I love you so much. (Ana grabs his shoulders in support, he leans back on her, crying desperately)

Isa asks Fanny why the nanny went in with the father.

F: Doctor asked if they were Nando’s parents, and my dad said yes… that is why. (Isa leaves confused)

Leon asks Fanny how is Nando doing. She says he hasn’t woken up. He is sorry. She thanks him for coming. She introduces him to her grandpa Nico as her novio. He in turn introduces Jenny, his novia. Leon is shocked… Nico asks ‘why that face? … seriously! She is my girl!’

Fanny and Leon show support to Alicia. Fernando and Ana come out (minus the surgery bunny suits). Fernando and Ana join the family. A few yards away, IsaSkank grunts through her teeth ‘I should have been the one that went in with Fernando! Not that stupid!’

At the house, the small kids are also worried about Nando. Sebastian gets scared about some small animal coming by.. the kids walk toward the animal one behind the other. It is a huron (sp?) Sebastian grabs him. Luz wants to touch him. Sebastian says probably a neighbor lost it. We have to be careful we don’t get caught. But surely Bruno caught them right away. Even though the kids hide the pet behind Seba, it makes enough noise and Bruno insists long enough to know ‘something is rotten in Denmark’ LOL!.

Back at hospital, in ladies room (well, one of the ones there is not really a LADY) IsaSkank is confronting Jenny (whom she refers to as ‘mecerita’[little waiter]) and Jenny is too happy to engage… yup, Nico is my guy and we love each other… IsaSkank demands Jenny address her as ‘Miss’. Jenny happily replies ‘if you are a Miss, I am the Novels prize in literature’. IsaSkank does not waste breath in correcting her ‘it is Nobel prize, nak-ha… and I will make sure you won’t see a penny of the Lasc fortune’. ‘why? Is it all going to be for you?’ ‘what are you insinuating?’ .. then she called her ‘trepadora’ … IsaSkank brags about having lots of money… I don’t need Fernando’s, my family has CLASS… I have degrees, I have seen places you can’t even pronounce… yada yada… Jen rebuttes ‘no matter how hard you try, you will end up empty-handed, because the nannie will will Don Fer over you, you white-collar ‘trepadora’. It shows easily that Ana is infinitely better than you! ’.(no she didn’t !! yes she did!! IsaSkank slapped Jen!!) … (round 2) ‘did your teachers and doctors teach you this?? Oh my, what a great education, Miss!! (Jen gets closer to IsaSkank in a very confrontational chest-forward way that scares Isa, she uses her purse as shield.. )‘no, I am not going to lower myself, if I slap you I will contaminate myself… ‘ Isa laughs it off, ‘where do you know Ana??... why are you so sure that Ana…’ ‘Nico told me!! And let me repeat it… you will lose, you ranch guerita… you skunk tail’ (Jen leaves on that high note, leaving IsaSkank grunting names for Jen like nak-ha and fifth rate waitress).

Hi friends, I'm still crazy busy at work but I hope to be back to normal next week, until then enjoy the recap.

Two jerks at a restaurant:

Johnny,Ana, Fernando and Isabitch find themselves in the same restaurant, it's an awkward situation, made worse by Isa throwing a tantrum that would make any toddler proud. How bad is this encounter? She loudly states that she's surprised the "help" can afford to eat at such an establishment, she then follows this up my loudly insulting Ana. When Ana tells Fernando that she is happy the situation with Fanny was resolved Isa shouts from her table to "keep it down, we are not in the market"-Ana fumes but says nothing else, although I find myself wishing that she would go over to Isabelas table and beat her to a pulp.

Fernando for his part just sits there and lets Isabela throw her fit-he's a smart man and I can't for the life of me understand why he would allow this scene to continue. Isabela has just verbally attacked the woman that takes care of his children and he sits there and says nothing?!

Lupe brings her rose to Mati, who's glad to see her all better already. Mati asks how the divorce is going, answer: nothing. They find out from Carmelita that it was Alejo behind the terrible contract Tizoc signed, which MA bought him out of.

Diego visits Rita, he says he's glad he saw Leo but they are of different worlds and he's still planning to leave town. Rita suggests they could go off together and start over someplace else.

Ok, can I just start with the Avances?

T.

Andres is going to show that picture of Rodrigo smooching the ruca (which annoyed me. She didn't look that old to me...or worn out) to Nat and she's going to fall for it?! Please. Make this stop.

Well, on to the recap. School started yesterday, so I'm a little punchy. Pardon my brevity and grumpiness.

El gets his evidence and proceeds to show it to Alonso and Diego (that won't compromise the case at all.)

Karina is still lonely and falling back into her old habits of emotional blackmail. She also uses the word "incubator" a lot. It reminds me of Diana. Alonso spends the episode trying to appease her. He knows he needs to get someone to stay with her. He ropes his secretary into the job. Meanwhile, the mail nurse asks a hospital administrator for Karina's phone number. I'm all for this. Maybe he will shut her up.

El sees Carmen's frantic mouth-to-mouth of the Mushroom Man and as usual, comes to the wrong conclusion.  He kills a perfectly innocent bouquet of roses.  Carmen tastes Paul's soup to see QTH kind of spice wimp he is and not only notices just how spicy it is, but notices the innocent face of Lupita peeking around the counter.

Grumps wonders what Rodrigo is living off of, out there in the cold, cruel world.  But, oh, well, whatevs.  Diego brings up his plan to partner with another company and Grumps heartily approves.  Caprico's reputation should earn her the interest of plenty of suitable suitors.  And, in the meantime, there's enough cash in the safe (dun, dun, dun) to cover their expenses for 2 months.

Rodrigo ponders how far he's fallen, having to buy suits…off the rack!  At the mall!  He runs into Karina, who mistakes him for Diego, but still wonders why he's at the mall, buying a cheap suit.  He makes an excuse about it being a present for the chauffeur, for his daughter's wedding, and Karina goes on her merry way.  She's already showing a little bit of a bump.

Karina was on her way to meet with Alonso.  She jokes that she's getting fat and happy and mentions running into Diego.  Alonso asks her to wait while he runs after…Rodrigo!  Rod gets away, but Alonso calls Eleazar to tell him where he saw Rod.  El says he needs details…in person.

Can any other recapper claim to have done TWO weddings where the groom dies before he can consummate his marriage? Yeah, because I've done that. Here's the other one.

Leftovers from Friday:

- "How dare you hang up on me? Don't you know who I am??" Ahole screams into his dead telephone; Tizoc's manager Charly terminated the call some time ago.

- Frida ponders her choices: Adoption? Go out of town to have the baby, so no one will ever know? Or perhaps she can choose the child's new parents herself.

New:

It's the day of Lupe's surgery. She tells her family she's taking a Chinese cooking class, so she might be out late. (Is she planning to make egg rolls tonight after her surgery? Silly.) After Lupe leaves the house, Carmelita phones MA, who is waiting outside, to give him the all-clear. He enters the fonda and greets the rest of the Menchacas, who give him a chilly reception.

Here's your page for the new week, folks.

Many of us watched the chilling Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal.  The telenovela inspired me to read Gabriel García Márquez's account of the kidnapped journalists' ordeal, Noticia de un secuestro and to compare GGM's version of events with those in the novela.

Recently, I came across a review of a novel that has just been translated into English but whose original Spanish version appeared in 2011:  El ruido de las cosas al caer by Juan Gabriel Vásquez.  The author -- as well as the narrator of the novel -- grew up during the bloody ascendency of Escobar.  The narrator was 14 in 1984, the year Escobar had Rodrigo Lara Bonilla killed; he was 17 when Guillermo Cano, the fearless editor of El Espectador, was slain; and he was 19 in the terrible year when the presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galván was assassinated and some time later, a commercial airplane was blown up, killing all the passengers on board.

El ruido de las cosas al caer feels like a very personal novel, but it is well-grounded in time and place; it may be of interest -- either in its original Spanish or in its English translation -- to some of us who are still trying to make sense of that terrible time in Colombia's history.  The opening sentence of the novel caught my eye:

"El primero de los hipopótamos, un macho del color de las perlas negras y tonelada y media de peso, cayó muerto a mediados de 2009."
(The first of the hippos, a male pearl-black in color and weighing a ton and a half, fell down dead in the mid-2009.)

The animal had escaped from Escobar's vanity zoo, Nápoles, and had been a menace to everything -- animal and vegetable -- around him.  The decision to kill him and then display his cut-up remains triggered a media circus in Colombia.  The writer uses this incident to draw his narrator's thoughts back to his own past and how the national trauma affected his life.

Interestingly, while author Juan Gabriel Vásquez lives in Spain these days, he spent some time as a reporter on the late Guillermo Cano's newspaper, El Espectador, in Bogotá earlier in his career.

You can get a sample of this book on Kindle, if you're interested.  I'd be curious to hear what you think of it.

The Queen of Hearts continues to have a place in our hearts here.  Although as I write this, the total number of comments hasn't quite reached 200, I suspect it will get there in a couple of hours.

Assuming our enthusiasm continues to be strong and the comments numerous, I will be posting a Page Two on Thursday, just before the evening's episode.

Have fun!

Ahoy Amiguis. What an episode. This is my last full recap for Robo and I want to thank all the recappers who recapped this longggg TN with me. Thanks goes to Urban, Gloria, NovelaMaven, Julia, Eli, Elna June! I have loved all of your recaps and most times they have been way better than the episodes themselves, it was a pleasure to recap with you. You guys rock for sticking it out. I also want to give kudos to all the commenters who stuck it out with us and the oftentimes hilarious comments and snarking that have gone on. What a pleasure it has been to see new people comment and also our faithful group that continues to comment and give us pearls of wisdom. I thank you! I have included an earworm that really has nothing to do with the storyline here, but we need some levity, si? So I have picked a great one for you to listen to. Undercover Karoke

Shall we begin?

Eric and Esme have arrived at Don Regino's home, that would be Eric's Papa. Eric greets his Papa and wants to talk to his Mama too. Problem is Mama is dead has been for months. Eric asks for forgiveness, but Don R seems to think it's a little too late, it's been years now. Not only did the Moms grieve for her lost little boy, she also grieved for Eric not knowing what had become of him. Don R tells Eric he is dead to him, and as Eric is about to leave, Esme, bless her heart, isn't having it and puts her foot down. We'll get back to them in a tic.

We interrupt this very What Would Esme Do, hereafter known as WWED, for the warning du jour, when PBN (Poor Blind Nadia) tells Monse for the fourteenth millionth time that not only is Vicki (Victoria) in danger but so are Monse and her children, cue the male chorus of doom (Thanks NovelaMaven).

MA and Mati… he told her about Lupe. He never would have imagined it. Mati understands. Mati will support him in whatever he does to support Lupe. He knows she would know he can’t stay and watch from outside. Mati is sure Lupe will understand sooner or later… But Mati tells MA maybe he should tell the Menchacas…. MA says if he knows her as he thinks, Lupe would face it without bothering her family.

• Don Fernando has retrieved the car keys (Nando is shocked!) along with the credit cards (No! Not the credit cards, too??) from Fannie, who’s careless late night napping at Leon’s has caused a mini-scandal.  “--My house, my rules!”  “--Papa, you’re such a disappointment since Mama’s death.  You’ve ignored us and when you are at home you close yourself in and do nothing but work!”  She races off and slams her door.

• Ana realizes there’s a deeper pain here seeping to the surface and mentions this to Bruno.  Bruno stammers back to Ana that they’ve never had a blow up like this in the family before.  “—Why not?  It’s a family full of kids and they all have their problems, right?"  “--If only Sra. Stefania were still alive…..”    "--Well, she’s not so they’ll have to learn to deal!” 

• DonFer tells his wife’s portrait that he’s failed as a father.  And now, Fannie’s dating his messenger boy.  

• Fannie’s solution is to pack her bags and head for Leon’s digs at the boarding house.  (That’ll last about as long as it takes her to realize she’s gotta share the bathroom with six hairy beasties who are also strangers.)

Hola Amiguis! Let me explain how I recap. I do it by what I call free range ear and the way the actors move and speak. I use no captions and when they throw the slang in there and talk in rapid fire sequence or all talk at once, I have to think about the episode.  I have a little earworm for Y'all to listen to Live To Tell! This is for you Vilma!  

Shall we begin? We are in the juice office with Trofeo, Dona Mati and MA with the new Innocence Juice that is organic. MA has a great idea about marketing this juice and Dona Mati is sure that he will make this juice bidnez a success just as MA did with his bidnez in London.

Perla has fainted and Tizoc carries her to the hospital The check in doctor is rude to the Menchaca, he tells them there are lots of people ahead of them, they sit Perla down and she passes out again. Tizoc carries her straight back to an ER bed.

The recap is fully done, sorry it took so long but I had so much to say!

Editors Note: My dear patio peeps, this is the end of a long journey, tonight is my last full recap of Robo and I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for staying with us through this whole trip, this story has taken some very dark turns and it has not always been easy to watch-let alone recap, but the awesome community that we have built here always kept me going, sometimes I'd read a comment/recap that would make me laugh out loud, or think about something that I would normally dismiss, all of you here through your comments have made recapping an awesome experience, I often wonder if you all realize how wonderful you all are? I thank you all for the kind words you have had for me every other Wednesday and encourage those of you that are lurking to come out and join us on the patio, we don't bite, we just snark! Again, thank you all for being total super stars, I consider you all friends and am honored to have worked with this team and to have commented along with you all. The recap can be found below, enjoy!

I' am skipping the old and getting right to the new stuff.

Ezra is in Canada so I'm subbing tonight, and skipping the retreads. There appeared to be missing chunks, did we lose an episode?

• I don't think "Cherubs Hospital" is a good name for a place where abortions are performed. Frida is shown into a room and while waiting for the doctor and looking at all the sharp scary instruments on the stainless steel table she loses her nerve and leaves.
  
  
• Emi invites Alejo to eat at the fonda. Chuy is furious to see him and, seemingly talking about mosquitos, says "We can't let these bloodsuckers in."

Is anyone surprised that I continue to have cable woes? Now my DVR is freezing and rebooting itself randomly. Thank God it didn't affect my watching and taking notes, but while I was playing back to translate Tad's letter, the picture froze and the box rebooted itself. I took notes tonight, but not a lot. Sorry if there aren't more details. Aaaand  I have another cable guy coming out tomorrow.

Hilda forgot the address so had to come back earlier than expected. The door is locked and Rod is still with Tib. Hilda calls out that she's going to go get someone with the key and Rod slips out.

Andres acts like a petulant child and thinks Diego is just at the funeral to bust moves on Nat. Diego over hears and informs him that he's there for his Aunt, but if he's making Andres uncomfy he'll leave. Nat thinks Andres is the one who should leave.

Hilda realizes something is wrong with Tib and calls for the nurse (? what exactly was that person's position?)

Rod is back at his office and gloats about leaving no witnesses. He fires up his computer and gets a message about there being in interruption in the last process that was trying to run. He calls the secretary and tells her to get the IT Crowd (Have you tried turning it on and off again?)

I'm tired from loading and unloading a truckload of hay for my donkeys today, and the subtitles were a mess, so this is going to be minimal. Please add what you will.

Alejo sort of promises Mati he'll get his lawyer right on that divorce thing, but that he wants to be with his son. Mati says she will allow him to try to convince Lupe (this seemed very bogus to me).

As somebody guessed, when Minerva does the big reveal of the next magazine cover, the model is her own mother! The grandsons share a united moment of flabbergasted astonishment. All say it's a risky idea but she's confident it will be a big hit. Mati likes it so MA gets on board.

We're in ultimos capitulos now, and the gran final is August 24.

Reruns from Friday: Tizoc and Frida "agree" that they aren't in love because they don't think of one another all day long, and Frida doesn't tell him about the pregnancy. Ana Sofia's swell friends bid bitchy goodbyes and say they'll be in touch. Ana Sofia complains to MA that Mati's dinner with the Menchacas interfered with her own plans to worm her way back into the good graces of the buena gente.

MA has already heard Mati's side of the story. Mati didn't know AS was planning a party that same evening, and it's Mati's home too. She has every right to invite people over. As for friendship, well, the Menchacas certainly are their friends; they helped them out when the swell friends didn't. As usual, his words go in AS's one ear and out the other; she hopes never to see the Menchacas again.

In La Nopalera, the Menchacas assess the damage to the fonda. The kitchen and dining area are thoroughly trashed; even the walls have been vandalized. But the rooms upstairs appear to be untouched, and nothing seems to be missing. Lupe mentions that she learned her lesson when the 300,000 pesos were stolen, and now all their cash is safe in a bank account.

But Rita's not home.

And Ahole is on the phone with an unidentified person who has confirmed that the job is done.

All the best clandestine operation planning happens in mall cafés.  Which is why Morales, Diego, and Rosa meet there to discuss The Case of Rotten Rod.

Toño makes a brief appearance to help Carmen bring some groceries into the fonda and let her know that El left her a present.  It's a puzzle.  El texts her to say when she puts it together, she'll know what he's trying to say.

Morales explains that they're having particular difficulty busting Rod because Rod has the authority to move money in and out of the company.  An audit would help.  Morales brings up the payment to the shady shrink.  Diego gets curious about the drugs when he hears that and calls Alonso away from Tad's deathbed to talk about it.

Tad reiterates his plea, but Alonso says he can't promise anything, especially because he doesn't know how Irene feels.  "Just because you're gone doesn't mean her love for you is just going to go away!"  Well said, Al!  Tad just keeps pleading for Al is not to leave Irene alone.  The lady in question comes in without hearing anything.  Al takes his leave and Tad starts 'splaining.

Reina fans - you rock - more than 285 comments last week! As NovelaMaven already mentioned, we have decided to do two Reina posts a week while this level of comments continues. That way, we should avoid having to deal with the dreaded "second page" of comments, which is a pain and baffling for new followers of our blog. We will do the usual post on Monday and second one on Thursday, just before that day's capitulo airs.

So strap on those beanies and let's get back to the silliness, the mystery and mayhem that is Reina. We still have an opening for a recapper on Tuesdays if anyone wants to give that a try. It's fun.

For the truly obsessed, I have compiled the first four weeks of Reina recaps (not including the comments or corrections ) into 4 Word documents, one for each week, and put them in a public folder in Dropbox. It is very time consuming to try and search the recaps in Caray. You should be able to download the documents by following these links:

Week 1:

August already! Where does the time go? Here is the page for the non-Reina Telemundo offerings. Enjoy!

Labels: cielos, piel, telemundo

Viewerville revisits Ana’s unfortunate witnessing of the argument between Don Fernando and Don Nicolas over the wisdom-- or rather the lack there of—in Don Nico’s frequenting such quintessentially depraved nightspots as El Chicago and, his potentially picking some Latin American clone of Ana Nicole Smith to be the next Sra. Lascurain.  Ana learns DonFer’s aversion to and loathing of loose women in shady nightclubs who fool men into marrying them for their money.  She might as well forget ever telling Don Decencia the truth about her “other life”.

As for Fanny, she and Leon have motor-scootered over to the other side of the tracks to enjoy the heretofore unknown epicurean delight of such common fare as the taco.  Once back at the college’s parking lot Leon offers her the pencil drawing of her he did; mentions his lifelong dream to become a successful illustrator; and confesses that he thinks she’s the prettiest girl he’s ever known and that he realllllly realllly likes her a lot—all of which makes Fanny’s day, natch.

Emi tells Ahole that if Mom doesn't let him visit Daddy, he'll defy her. Ahole tells him to just sit tight for now and don't let on that they're having these secret conversations. Emi can enjoy his time with Mati, but "don't forget she's on Miguel Angel's side! Be careful!"

The papers are signed. Don Chuy is finally the official owner of the house that's already been rightfully his for a long time. There is much rejoicing. Mati invites them all to dinner at the RP house. Chuy doesn't really want to go, but Mati indicates that she'll be offended if he doesn't. MA says he'll even stay away so that it won't be too uncomfortable for everyone!

Prince Emiliano finally makes his appearance. He greets Mati happily, but snubs MA. "High-fiving is for babies!" (Earworm: "Don't Gimme No Lip Child" classic version or loud. I chose the latter video over better ones because it's subtitled in Spanish!)

Meanwhile, at the art gallery, Ana Sofia is inviting her "friends" to dinner at her place too. I keep thinking she's got something up her sleeve, but sadly, it's only an arm.

Oh boy! It'll be like Leo's wedding all over again! (Minus the guests of honor!)

I'm going to put up what I remember, but I've forgotten most of it in the blind rage at my DVR yet again failing me.

Yes, it's true. Tad's cancer is back and he's decided not to continue any treatment. He wants his final days to be spent being happy with Irene and Natalia. The man is so noble he even apologizes for not being able to follow through on the trip to Paris. Irene and Natalia cry a lot. I am frustrated that the one noble and consistent character is leaving us. Diego also comes to the hospital. He and Nat are somewhat civil to each other. She hugs him and he is very supportive. Irene comments on the emotion in Nat's hug.

Tad asks Diego to pass a message on to Alonso. Tad wants to see him. Alonso obliges. Tad wants him to take care of Irene. (eeek. How could I forget the end so quickly? Definitely fill this in for me.)

Vicente continues to look pitiful and meek. He's also very confused and not all there. His lucidity comes and goes. He wants Hilda to bring him enchiladas (which just tickled me for some reason. I'm going to hell.)

Diego comes to visit Vicente. After hearing about Vicente's condition, he remembers how he was kept in a coma and drugged. He starts making connections. Rosa tells Diego about Rodrigo embezzling funds.

Rodrigo talks with the hired Doc about detoxing Vicente so no one will realize his confused state is due to the drugs. The detox could take a month. If they do it too fast it could be dangerous. I really didn't follow this conversation very well, so I appreciate any help.

Brigitte and Paul reconcile. Sort of. He wants to know who the baby daddy is and Brigitte balks. Paul makes it clear that he won't be bankrolling Brigitte. True affection or nada.

Paul and Carmen share memories of good times. Eleazar comes in and acts a little jealous and macho. Not horribly so, but it's clear he's bothered by Paul. After Paul leaves Carmen tells Eleazar he's worrying her and his mother with is mood swings and jealousy. He needs to take a chill pill.

Brigitte tries to get her job back at Caprico. Ha ha. They won't let her come back. I guess there are no buttons left to count.

Ugh. Sorry guys. I'm sure there's a lot missing.

OH!
Avances
Nat finds the wig and slaps the snot out of Brigitte!!

Robo 186 – Maria Loses Her Head

Robo has dealt out dreck with a liberal hand,

And bade us sit down and enjoy it:

We could not but own that the protags look grand,

Personal trainers keep them SO fit.

But give TOO long a story and Televisa chances
That viewers with plus-100 IQ
Will stop coming by, giving glances
To see if Ale sports a new shade of BLUE.

Tonight’s actions are few, but they don’t lack import
Hang with the recap—tonight will conclude
Maria’s murder attempts; they keep falling short
Except for Sandro, the much ballyhooed
Blackhaired, handsomest villain.

As we start out, Refugio gets news
The scoop on Emeralda’s new beau
Erik is not the man Refu would choose
Refu sees him as a foe.

Hola Amiguis! What an episode!  I  have an earworm for you  that perfectly describes Ahole and here it is: Charlie Brown 




Shall we begin? Frida and her Granny Mati are having a chat about choices it seems. Frida is panicked about this pregnancy and doesn't know what to do. Frida is scared. It's okay but Granny has her back, she'll support Frida in anything she decides, now what about Tizoc. Frida says no one knows, especially Tizoc. Granny wants Frida to tell him, it's only right. Frida feels Tizoc is not ready for a girlfriend much less a bebe.

AS is tasting salsas and is unhappy with what she is tasting, oh, how she misses Carmelita's salsas, wow, who knew! Leo comes in and wants to go on a vacay to New York and she'd like to come with, but Leo wants to go alone.

De que el no es bipolar, no bipolar

MM gets ready to return to France after ditching Brat because of her pregnancy.  He actually says there is nothing to tie him to Mexico so he can leave now.  Wow, that’s icky.

Grumps continues to question why Hilda and Mr. T left and slowly comes to the conclusion it must be Rod’s fault.  Rosa arrives and hopefully these two will escape now.  Unfortunately, their future looks bleak because Rosa is about to give Grumps the Demon (Rod) tampered meds.

Alejo is menacingly telling Lupe there is no option for divorce/annulment. Meanwhile, EmiliAhole trots up with some bit of electronics or something, "just a little gift from Dad." I think it's a Wii U, and Alejo acts like he forgot to buy games for it. Guess they're going shopping!  Since they are married, he doesn't have to ask permission!

Oh, some good news! Mike is w/ Doña Matti at the hospital and the doctor (and his colleagues, he is quick to point out) has done some tests and found her to be quite healthy. But he wants to do more tests, of course. Aww, she talks about how grateful she is of the help Chuy and Carmen gave her. Kindness is the greatest gift, etc...

Matti remains extremely calm, but is insistent that she will forgive Ahole. Mike protests a bit. She has an interesting stance - he'll always be my grandson and he needs to know that. She's grateful to him for sticking w/ Aureliano through everything. All she wants is to end the resentments. While explaining, she also mentions what may be the strategy with Ahole - keep your enemies close! Also, she doesn't know what kind of atrocities Ahole might sink to if even his grannie denounces him.

I don't know what the foundation is, but AS is at a pool giving a ton of money to some women (and also being mean and vain about the money that "God gave her." They still mock her for her disasters. When she leaves they all talk about her - she has returned to society more insufferable than ever! Now she's a terrible combination of Mother Teresa and Lady Di[iana?]. The ringleader has a wicked alternative plan for the thousands of dollars they just got from AS.

Oh yay, Tizoc's still in trouble! But unfortunately, it's not for being a turdbag. The agent just wants him to talk like a fresa.

At the mall, the twerp picks video games while Lupe attempts to have it out with Ahole. The vile child realizes they're fighting and runs up to talk about how great his dad is. Ahole: well, we can't fight in front of the kid. It's his new weapon - let's spend happy family time! Barf.

You have to learn that being a fresa is a way of life, of being a condescending dick. Fortunately it comes naturally to Tizoc.

Wendy is still talking about that mysterious woman from yesterday. She still wants to hire her. And GASP! The banana king is still married to the mother of his son!

Aaaaand AS is now transferring a ton of money to her personal account on the apparent cart-blanche authorization of her son Mike. Oops, how'd he fall for that one? Oh, she forged it. She has a moment with her dog.

Mati is surprised to see Frida still eating with the Menchaca. She notices that the girl is even paler than usual. Grandmotherly advice-dispencing mode, ACTIVATE! Oh dear lord could they go more overboard on the pregnancy cliches? She's putting all sorts of weird toppings on her food.

Haha look at Don Chuy playing the video game after EmiliAhole gets sent to bed! At bedtime though, the turd-twerp wants to live with his Dad.  She says no and he pouts.

Doña Mati puts a plan into action - she takes the chofer to go buy some street tacos, all greasy and meaty and intense, and shoves them under Frida's nose. Predictably, the girl runs and vomits, and Matti gives the camera a knowing look, like this was some devious abuela-trick to get verification of pregnancy.

Tomorrow, at the office, Matti is planning to bring her grandsons together in her office. Also she reveals to Mike that he was always Aureliano's favorite, but the man never showed it because of some grand plan to toughen him up and prepare him for leadership or some nonsense. She says that everything the old man did to make Mike angry was completely planned and calculated!  Flashback time! Grandpa wanted to make sure Mike was comfortable and strong and capable of holding his head high and succeeding on his own, not relying on a rich dad. Now it's time for the meeting... Abuelita power!

She makes the boys sit side by side. Closer, closer. Once Alejo is sufficiently uncomfortable, she announces that she is planning to resign as president. Aaaaand giving the presidency to Mike! Bomb drop! Oh cute, she makes Ahole vice-president! That'll be fun!

The new girl comes back to Guendy's. Her name is Rita, and Guendy got so excited about her that she left a customer sitting in a chair.

The boys start fighting and superabuelita shuts 'em up! I love her being tough like this!

Thus far, it seems like Leo has been oblivious to how awful his rich friends are, but it finally gets to him. I like that.

What's the one thing she wants Alejo to do. It's very mysterious and important, and she gives him a week.

Aww, poor Frida is worried and pregnant and she looks on TV and sees Tizoc being a dick in an interview and not acknowledging her!

Ha! Ahole has no one to take his worries to but Mini and Minimom. He basically is just taking out his rage on them but they get him back! He gets a call from Wilma, who's so mad that he's left her to rot. At first he's mean, but she says something (that I miss) that gets him to race down to jail to see her. Ok, they're now accusing her of killing Girón. She says he needs to confess to the murder or else.

Granny knows Frida's pregnant.

Pedro and Amelia Have an Intimate Dinner;  Only Pedro Eats

Amanda fakes affection and concern, fussing over Pedro as has dinner and offering him more wine.  Finally, she suggests that he goes to rest in the bedroom.  He needs it, she maintains.  He agrees, throwing down his napkin on the table before he goes.  Alone at last, she is breathing heavily and seems nervous and afraid.

Ale Decides to Bring Glad Tidings of EZ to Carlotta

Montse wants to know what Alejandro wants to speak to them about.  Carlotta guesses it must be about Ezequiel, and Ale admits, yes, it is.  What did he do now? Carlotta wants to know.  She says that EZ ought to be in prison.  She claims she never wants to see him again for the rest of her life.

"EZ died last night,"  Alejandro informs her.

The news affects Carlotta, and she asks what happened, but before Alejandro can speak she begs, "Tell me he died trying to help Rosario.  Tell me in the end EZ did the right thing.  Tell me, please."

"Yes," Alejandro says, slowly.  "EZ sacrificed himself for us."

 "Thanks for telling me the story," Carlotta tells Alejandro.  She seems less anguished, and Montse tells her to get some rest.  Ale assure Carlotta that she is not alone and that together they will all move beyond this.  Alejandro and Montserrat leave Carlotta alone.  As she remembers what happened she begins to cry.

Repeat of Isabela all over Fernando, Fanny sees the kiss…

‘you forgot about my mom quick, didn’t you?’

Fernando runs after Fanny.

Luz asks Fernando if Ana can have dinner with us… que chido! ‘don’t like that word… you can say que padre!’

Fanny won’t open the door to Fernando, but she does to Ana. Ana tells Fanny her dad has the right to rebuild his life. Fanny says it’s too soon, besides that woman is all wrong… Ana tells her no woman will be right… never mind, cancel! Cancel! You need to get ready for the dinner… even I will be there… (why?) your little sis asked your dad that I eat with you all… Ana fakes getting sick and walks out.

Isabela tries to downplay Fanny’s reaction to Fernando. Fernando not convinced. It might be logical but it hurts. Isabela offers to talk to her but Fernando says not a good idea. He leaves turning the subject to work ‘We have not progressed in our project’. Isabela, after he leaves, says I would say we have made progress, dear.

Fanny brings her mom’s dress to Ana… Ana is so moved her eyes are full of tears… resists at first but gives in.

Lo Nuevo:
Dinner is all fancy stuff, seems wild boar (Jabali) is indeed in the grill, split in half, roast pork style..

All kids are elegant dressed… Isabela meets all the kids except Luz… Fanny tells Isabela that Ana la nana will have dinner with us. Isabela fakes not having any problem with it… Meanwhile, Luz is escorting Ana down the stairs. Fernando comes in and is in shock… (someone please help him shovel his chin off the floor…) ‘She is beautiful, right Papi?’ ‘Yeah! She is very elegant! (to Ana) … you are radiant.. very beautiful.' Ana tries to explain about Fanny Sr's dress. Fernando tells her Fanny already told him and he is ok with it. 'Shall we go?’ Luz walks Ana out, Fernando is walking behind them, still shocked at the ‘view’.

Everyone is at a huge table in the backyard. Isabela and Ana exchange forced greeetings. Isabela starts undermining Ana, 'I usually forget the names of the service', ‘Ana... that dress is very high fashion (alta costura), but no it can't, since the salary of a nanny is not enough money to buy such a fine outfit. Maybe I will switch jobs. I will take Ana’s job… (kids shreak) I was just kiddin!!’ Isabela starts making goo goo da da sounds to Luz… and singing the ‘dos elefantes’ song… Ana tells her Luz is not a 2 year old. She is 5. Isabela turns to the twins and asks them if they like the music group 'Parchis' (the boys are as confused as me... que??)... Fanny tells Isabela 'it is a group from the 80's, (with hand hashtag gesture) you should catch up and hashtag yourself up to date.

Fernando tells the kids that there is a different menu for them, they won’t eat the crab. Bruno goes to Ana and gives her a flash 101 course on how to snap the crab shell with the thongs(?). Ana tries it and the crab slips off the thong and ends up on Isabela’s head. Isabela insults Ana saying ‘it is obvious a woman of your ‘rank’ (nivel) does not know how to behave in ‘society’’Ana comes up with the excuse that maybe this one in particular is still alive (LOL!!). … All the kids laugh, even Fernando laughs wholeheartedly. ‘We should do this more often!! Too funny!’ Isabel tries to follow along ‘I would love to repeat the experience… of course we will not always count on the lovely and distinguished presence of the nanny… ‘ ‘Ana!’ ‘Whatever’. Fernando announces to Isabela that Manuela fixed her her favorite dish, wild boar. Isabel stands up to thank Fernando, but at that time Ana looks at the meat on the grill and gets so sick she spits the mouthful of water she had just taken from the goblet right into Isabela’s outfit. Fernando is not laughing this time, he is shocked. The kids laugh it off again. Then Isabela tries to win over Luz calling her beautiful, but Luz turns it around on her, saying ‘thanks, you too, but Ana is more beautiful’.

Sorry for the late recap, I have to do a bullet list just because work is kicking my butt!

• Ana and Fernando arrive home for the birthday party where the kids are ready to go. The put on a play, sing songs and eat cake, there was so much candy there! They also give their father gifts,a book, an ugly sweater, a drawing and I forget what else. Ana also gives Fernando a gift, a nifty leather jacket! I wonder how much that set her back?
• Johnny has to take a job as an exotic dancer, ewww who would pay to see that?
• Isabella tries to wiggle her way into Fernando's life by offering to get him a less traditional tie and buys him a hot pink tie, I dig the color, she is then invited to his house to work on a project and to stay for dinner.
• Fanny tells Gus to never,ever bother her again, she says he behaved like an animal and she never wants to see him again, captas?
• Ximena thinks Nando is not a bad looking kid and plans to have him do her school work for her. Witch.

Skipping the old and straight into the new....

Pedro has the gun pointed at himself as EZ and I are yelling for him to shoot himself. Hurry up before the navy rushes in and arrest you. Now shoot! It looks like Pedro is about to pull the trigger but instead points the gun at a surprised EZ. You are here because I have decided it this way says Pedro. I wanted the pleasure to end your miserable pathetic life. Pedro pulls the trigger but unfortunately there are no bullets. EZ laughs and says you fell in my game. The plan is to turn you in alive so the navy can find Rosario and you can rot in prison for the rest of your life you miserable swine! Pedro rushes EZ and throws him up against the wall, throws insults at him and pistol whips him. The navy rush in but Pedro is long gone. The boys ask EZ were Pedro is and if he said anything about Rosario. Nothing replies EZ.

Outside a badly wigged Maria is waiting in a car and in hops Pedro. They speed off.

Amelia and Virginia sit down for a heart to heart chat. Amelia is angry that Virginia keeps questioning her decision to marry Pedro and send her away. Virginia believes Amelia sent her away to enjoy her marriage to Pedro and keep her from pestering them. Amelia admits the only reason she married Pedro was to find proof of his bad dealings. He never touched her or shared a bed with her. Virginia isn't buying her story. Amelia grows more frustrated and says there is just no talking to her. Virginia says she really needed her. She lost her father, sister and then her. Amelia says she did it all to protect her. She loves, missed and needs her. They are together now and nothing will separate them again. She wants her to find someone to love and form a family. She wants grand kids. Virginia says she met a man at Esme's house. His name is Eric. I don't think he is interested in Esme since he's a younger. I believe I caught his eye.

I was delighted that Dona Mati's entrance was at the very end of last night's episode - I've had all day to look forward to her bringing the anvils. I had no subtitles so if you find this vague, fill it in!

Refritos: the fresas hate Tizoc's microbus song. and his manager threatens to kill him. I agree with them that he is an imbecil. Listening at home, Chuy reminds Carm that success is easy come easy go and he doesn't think Tizoc is managing very well.

So! At the editorial, Mati is welcomed into the room and embraced by los Ruizpalacios. "Quiet everybody. I am completely recovered and the doctor is here to confirm it. So we are not naming a new president just now." Mike sort of sticks out his tongue at Alejo, "so there."

Emi argues with Lupe about how he has changed. Emi goes to his room in a huff.

Lupe calls A-hole. He tells her she has to show up to the office with him to finish baking the donuts (signing the papers). Lupe agrees, but reluctantly, she was not counting on having to show her face.

The nurse is brought to the police bldg… Top Cop asks her where is Mati. Nurse looks down.

At Tomas’ Dr Miranda gives Mati the green light, he can certify she is fully recouped… Mati so glad. She needed his opinion… He suggests she rest another few days. And if you can spend that time with family, even better. Mati says she is already with family. Regarding the RP she will meet up with them later.

At club, AS is turning it on Beba, she wants them to bet some of their jewelry… The ladies take their quick exit, don’t want to play strip poker… AS throws kisses to the wind as the ladies take off… She also fans her newly won cash (was this donation from Beba and Chabela to AS' charities?)…

Chuy and Mati celebrate that she is ready for coming back to the wrestling ring… Mati says even though she feels guilty of keeping her grandkids, especially MA, in the dark about where she is, she wants to wait a few days more. Mati wants to make sure she is really really REALLY 100% ready to face the music.

Top Cop tells MA and Saul that the nurse testified that she blames the staff at the geriatric clinic. She is trying to wash her hands… The nurse says that since Mati was in the other geriatric, she also escaped a few times… so Top Cop has to let her go.

Chuy tells Mati that when MA took her out of the geriatric clinic and took her to the fonda, she did not look as wide awake and healthy as she is now. Chuy felt bad when she would call for Aureliano since he could not come to help her. Mati says that with Chuy’s family around, she felt like she had Aureliano’s presence by her. Chuy says that is how he lost his Marcelita. Mati says that life has taught her that sooner or later our loved ones that have gone still are with us thanks to the great memories they left us. We have to let them go and live the best we can in their honor. (Boy Mati looks grrrrrrrrrreat!!)

Vilma calls A-hole. He is trying to avoid coming to see her… Again she insists she needs to see him in person. HE promises he will come tomorrow, too busy today. When he hangs up he says ‘and you better wait another 30 years for me’.

At Fonda, the Menchacas are eating… Lupe sends Emi to bed. Perla tells them Tizoc will have another show tomorrow night. Tizoc does not look anywhere as excited about the new gig. Perla says we don’t want to see you, we want to see the other artists that will be there. She is excited about her newly found fame (as makeup artist??) Carm can barely contain her excitement… Chuy looks at her weird, thinking it is about Mati. She is super happy about Wendy’s upcoming wedding. Everyone talks about weddings, Perla mentions couples that were expected to end up married and in the end… NOT, like MA and Lupe.. She ends up making Lupe cry…

MA tells AS and Frida that he still can’t find Mati. AS is making a comment that Mati is in heaven surrounded by angels. Maybe the nurse that they found could tell us the truth. Maybe we could buy her to tell us. AS thinks they can ‘buy’ anyone to do anything now that we have money again… The rest of the family protest in unison.

Rodrigo gets Big Al's ghost to go away and takes a call from the shady doctor who's going to help him get Grumps declared mentally incompetent.  Does this actor always play shady guys?

Morales hasn't tracked down the account where Rodrigo is depositing all the money.  It's not enough to accuse him of embezzlement, since he can just claim he took the money for something business-related.

Brigitte scolds the Mushroom Man for not taking advantage of her drunk mother.  He's pretty much resigned to going back to France, but, hey, he and Brig can be Facebook friends.

Alonso and Diego make plans to go visit Tiburcio and start his new drug regimen.

Carmen visits Eleazar and tries to use her feminine wiles on him, but he's too pissed about Carmen "kissing" the Mushroom Man.  She tries to tell him how things really went, but he won't listen and throws her out, saying it's OVER.  Carmen goes, but she says she hopes he won't be sorry later.  Eleazar grouses about knowing what he saw.  Carmen stands outside his door and calls the Mushroom Man to set up a meeting tomorrow morning at the fonda.
