Weekend Discussion: Misogyny and Sexism Need an Executioner
I'm in step with those who are watching Amores Con Trampa but still catching up to La Sombra del Pasado (cap 25) and Que Te Perdone Dios (cap 34), but the sexism is getting to me. I totally get that rural environments are often more sexist than urban ones and what's going on in ACT makes a certain amount of sense. However in the 21st century are the other two even close to reality anymore?

Que Te Perdone Dios #68 - Max Bites the Bullet, and Abi Gets Re-Engaged to Uncle Diego
Refrito: Simona walked home after over two months in jail. I
would have expected her to look thinner after so long on jail food, but she
seems healthy. She laments her ruined reputation to Barragan, who assures her
she still has a friend in him. She asks, “What good is it to be honest your
whole life if you can lose it in an instant by people telling lies about you?”
She conveniently forgets that she has lied, and lied to cover up her lies.
But hers was for a good reason, not like other liars.
Replay the meeting of Diana and Toño. She asks Julio, “What
are you doing with this character from the market?” which makes it sound like
he’s the guy dressed in the chicken suit. Julio: “He’s my son.”
New: Violeta shows up at Simona’s house. This part is a
little confusing, because she knocks even though she’s been living there alone
for the last two months, unless unbeknownst to us she reconciled with her bag-of-wind hubby Marcelino. She apologizes for not giving Simona a ride home. It
does seem like the least she could have done. Violeta says she lost the campaign.
Simona tries to be positive, but Violeta knows. Then Simona takes the blame,
but Violeta won’t have it. It’s the people who told the lies about Sim murdering Mia that lost them the
election. Simona: “The sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar.”

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #175 Mob Wife...Sophia is Engaged!
I don't have cable. The signal came in and out during the last 12 minutes of the show. Please fill in what I didn't see.
Now where was I before I was so rudely interrupted by Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday?
Ripoll: Peralta suggests that Sophia read the contract. Sophia says that she trusts him and signs the company away, I'm certain. Afterwards, Peralta asks her out for dinner. As they are leaving, Dani rushes in and thanks Peralta for putting up the ransom. Without it, she would've be in the Christian's unwilling bride. Dani leaves and Chava barges in. He begs for five minutes of Sophia's time. Peralta tells Chava he and Sophia have dinner reservations and he will definitely be trying to get in Sophia's pants. Chava becomes all enraged in stuff. He begs Sophia not to put that seducution visualization into his brainor ours.
Cruz Residence-Kitchen: Marisol is all pissed at Chava for literally c*ck blockin' Patrick! Chava asked Dani not to allow her to work late. Lupe tells Marisol that she agrees with Chava. It's dangerous for a chick to work alone at night. Araceli who is present tells Lupe and Marisol that she can't wait until Chava accepts her as part of the family.

Pru succumbs to the temptation of her pretty phone…will she call Tomas, a.k.a. Papi Chulo?
Silvia goes somewhere that's not her house, but that's ok, Lardo has his new BFF the skeevy cab driver to hang out with him and wait for her to leave again. Thanks, Skeevy Cab Driver!
Silvia is at Renato's house, telling his dad that Renato is close to losing his job because of his trips to Santa Lucia. If he doesn't come into the office tomorrow….

Que Te Perdone Dios #67: Pity Party for One?
Cap 67
• Abigail races over to the Montero place to help Toño through his drunken sob-fest.
• Abi learns Tony's pissed cuz he’s pissed to have learned that Simona lied to him all his life about not really being his mother. How would she feel if she found out the same? Abi frowns big-time. It doesn’t look very good for Renata’s Tale of Truth.
• Meanwhile, the cops do an end run around Julian-lio to bring him to Com. Barragan’s office for a sit-down. Comandante explains that there’s no proof Simona killed Mia. She’s about to be let free unless El Lio de Juli or his “sister,” Diana have some other complaint.
• Macaria and Fausto get into a game of chicken over whose threat is greater re: Who Shot J.R.—er…Pablo. He takes out The Gun from his office safe as she watches closely, wipes the barrel off, just in case after all these years there might still be a print or two of his, and then calls Barragan’s office to have him come over with information leading to the case. Rotten shame, he says, if you serve a life sentence for the murder of a man I killed! Just as Barragan arrives, the argument subsides as Feisty has won this battle of wits with Mac also. It's Jaque-mate. Checkmate! Vicenta is told through the closed office door to send Barragan home due to a “cancelled appointment.”
• Abi returns home and explains to Ren about Tony and his predicament. No way she’d ever forgive anyone telling her that the woman who raised her wasn’t really her mother. Of course, she adds, it would be just another lie of many around there for her.
• Ren visits Simona in jail to pay her respects and empathize with her over the rotten way Tony has rejected her. She returns home and promptly loses her courage over coming clean with Abi about being her real mother. She remembers Mac’s snide threats from earlier, Abi’s declaration and feels totally helpless.
[This is where I fell asleep! Feel free to add what I left out at the end here.--ed.]

4/22 Tue #174 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Calling Patricio a Rata con Dos Patas is an insult to Ratas
Empressa Ripoll
Patricieeeeewwww continues seducing Marisol. In his mind, he’s just demonstrating what
sexual harassment in the workplace looks like.
Meanwhile at Casa Chava, Chava finally takes notice that
Marisol’s running a little late and decides to call her cellphone and it goes
straight to voicemail. He decides to go
check on her. Lupe is so proud of her
son, watching over his sister as though he were actually her father. Actually Lupe, it’s just that since he’s no longer
joined at the hip to his güerita,
he has nothing else to do. Luckily for
Marisol, he’d do anything to get away from Aracely.
Highrise Cantina
Irais and Matias are having a good time and she’s had a bit
too much. Jughead insists on drinking a
toast to “impossible loves.” Irais
insists on getting the check before it gets too expensive, blah blah blah. He agrees to take her to her depa and maybe
continue the party there.

La Sombra del Pasado #47 4/22/15
Bullets! They are from memory, woefully out of order and short on detail. I'll come back in the morning and really recap.
- Simoneta visits Lola at the shop. Dominga shows up, too. Sim tries to introduce herself, but Dom refuses to shake her hand. Sim leaves and Dominga goes after her, almost knocking Aldonza down.
- The senior partner grills Silvia. Did she know Renato was in SL? She says she only thought he was helping a friend. Abelardo(Lardo) pipes up that Renato is filing lawsuits outside of the lawfirm. Senior partner instructs Silvia to get in touch with Renato and tell him to call them. Senior partner also wants her to get Lardo's contact info. Lardo apologizes for causing problems. Silvia calls Renato and tells him to call the senior partner. They are in deep caca. Lardo eavesdrops at the door.
- Dominga chases down Sim in the street. She wants to know what Sim wants with her granddaughter. Sim just wants to get to know her. Dominga asks Sim what will Lola think when she finds out her mother abandoned her. Sim doesn't think Dominga has a right to say anything. Dominga let Lola believe her mother was dead! Now Sim just wants to get to know her daughter.

Recap courtesy of HellaShelle!
Hey guys. I’m a little scattered this week, so I apologize if I forgot anything.
Re-re-cap-cap: Lola runs off, Eman calls after her, Pato tells him to back off. Sim/Viv runs into Lola, offers some generic comfort and invites her to dinner. Hum tells Sev he’s back on Team Sevil.
New Stuff: Hum tells Sev that PJ is on the Case of the Missing Love Child which worries Hum because he actually has an actual conscience that actually bothers him sometimes. Sev, in addition to an arm and heart, is missing that too, so he’s not worried; PJ can’t prove anything.

4/21/15 TUE #173 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Huracán Irma hits el D.F.
Don Peralta’s Office
Geronimo is worried Silvana will rat out Patricio and him to
the authorities. She’s a loose
cannon. She swears she’d never do
that. She pledges her allegiance to him
and asks him to allow her to return.
Welllll, Gerry’s not so sure about that.
She and her brother have caused him an awful lot of headaches
lately. Silvana, feeling his hands
closing around her throat pleads for mercy and asks for the honor of working
for him. She’d do whatever he asks. Well, ok, he’s gonna allow her to
return. Silvana just about bows and
scrapes, thanking him profusely. For her
first assignment, he wants her to speak with Cristian and warn him her life is
in danger if he talks.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #172 4/20/15 Is This the End for Silvana?
I'm kind of tired tonight so this will be a quick and dirty recap. Let's get to it!
Monday's Episode:
Dani wants to think about something other than her harrowing experience with Iker. She tells Lucas that she is going to work and that she will see him there. They make out in the kitchen while their annoying theme song plays in the background.
Lupe', Marisol and Matias gang up on Chava to let the perpetually sobbing Araceli stay at the house. Chava finally agrees to let her stay and says that while he will support her and the baby, he has no intention of marrying her. Ever. Never, never, never. Ever. End of story. Finito.
The Ripolls gather in Sofia's bedroom to talk about Dani's ordeal over morning coffee. Dani tells them that psycho Iker didn't want money, he wanted her! He was obsessed with Dani and hired thugs to kill Lucas - but the reason he came to the Ripoll house in the first place was to kill Greta!

Amores con trampa 4/20-4/21 La Fiesta and its aftermath
It was a full episode tonight with a decidedly dramatic turn toward the end, but Margarito!
Right to the new
Santiago(Santi) goes to Estefany's house. At least he thinks it's her house. That's where he dropped her off last time. The voice at the other end of the speaker box informs him that there is no Estefany there. Try the house next door. Santi is confused.
In the office, Santi whines to Esteban. He went to Estefany's "house"...or at least he thought it was her house-that's where he dropped her off last time. Esteban tries to tell him "I told you so." Not only did they tell Santi that Estefany didn't live there, they ran him off. HIM! Santi wonders why Estefany should do such a thing. He thought they had a good relationship. Esteban questions "relationship" so Santi concedes that "connection" might be the better word. Esteban tells him to talk to Estefany, but Santi tells him she won't answer her cell (the cell SANTI pays for.) Santi panics. What if she went to Africa? Esteban is sure Santi will find out and come running to tell him. Santi starts to complain that all women are the same-dishonest liars. Luckily, his Puchis is different! Esteban looks at him funny and Santi backtracks and explains that if he's playing this game with Estefany it's because Puchis practically pushed him to to it.

Quiero Amarte (Week 31-Apr 20) Highlights & Discussion
THE CHIAPAS WEEKLY NEWS - Online Edition for Select Subscribers
BREAKING NEWS
Don Mauro Montesinos, head of the Montesinos family, chairman and majority shareholder of the Nescafé-Mexico empire and owner of vast coffee lands in Chiapas, has been missing and presumed dead for many weeks. Most of his family members cannot believe he is dead. In breaking news it seems a Dr. Marco Antonio Linares, newly arrived head of the Chiapas medical clinic, has been instrumental in identifying him as being alive (and to his own surprise, identifying him also as his father). Don Mauro is in serious but not critical condition upon being rescued. He is alive thanks to two individuals who prefer to remain anonymous. Family members had gathered in the Montesinos Mansion in Mexico City, expecting a family reunion that never took place. They have yet to be informed of Mauro’s recovery and status. This story has not been officially confirmed, but sources close to the scene have indicated it is credible. More news on the family’s reaction as it comes in to News Central.

OTHER NEWS OF INTEREST
Iván Fonseca, recently married to the
lovely Mariana Valdez and having of late recovered his lost memory, has
volunteered to be a super hero and single-handedly deal fatal blows (figuratively
speaking, of course) to the evil, scheming Ulises Arteaga and the
dangerously obsessed and mentally unbalanced Cecilia Cortez (aka Cecy), owner
of the WUN finca, La Tormenta. Ulises, recent heir to the finca El Deseo has been identified as engaging in some dirty coffee business dealings. He has now
abandoned the property to evade capture after kidnapping and sequestering
Mariana twice, nearly whisking her out of the country using fake passports
(which he had to have replaced). He is on the run, thought to be heading for Cecy’s
finca. Cecy was given parole for her participation in deceiving Iván into
believing he had no wife, no family and preventing him from being reunited with
his loved ones. She pretended to be crazy (which of course she really is) to
“pass” her psychiatric exam and is now back home at her finca, plotting new
ways to separate Mariana from Iván, the object of her obsession. More news on
Iván’s heroics as it comes in to News Central.

La Sombra del Pasado #44, 4-17-15 True Confessions of Boinkers, Lovers and Other Strangers
Overlap: Lola with Dominga and Mel in the kitchen declaring her new attitude toward E-man while admitting she can't help being attracted to the handsome devil!
We return to the morning after and the afterglow is long
gone for the Mendozas. Among other things Cande screeches
to Severiano is that nothing happened last night! Sev
begs, even falls to his knees claiming he loves her but Cande is seized by pain and humiliation. She wails that Sev should get out, slams and locks
her bedroom door, then slumps to her chair and weeps.
Dominga enters Cande’s room to bring tea and hastens to
leave. Cande asks her not to stay, she
needs to talk. I get the feeling that Cande
as a wounded little girl and Dominga as the comforter is a role that has played
out throughout their lives. Cande cries
that Sev has a lover and of her pain after having surrendered to him last night. Doming gently checks her reality: it’s logical and Cande knows this woman isn’t
his first. Dominga wants to know what is really hurting
Cande: she’s maintained for years that
Sev didn’t matter to her. Cande looks
within to a private screening of her past.
She thought she would be happy when first married him but she was
wrong. The bastard never valued her as
she deserved and she will never forgive him for that! Dominga asks her if she valued Sev as a man: They both married knowing she was in love
with another man. Cande cries that THAT man didn’t value her either! Dominga entreats Cande not to torture herself
with thoughts of a past that cannot be changed.
Dominga walks Cande over to her sitting area and brings her tea. Cande thanks her weakly and sips. Take a good look. I’ve got a feeling we won’t be seeing a lot
of this helpless, vulnerable, loose-haired Cande.
