Caray, Caray!

 Hey, JudyB,  here is hoping you are enjoying  Memorial Day on the  patio. I am sure you will find whatever you might like on the grill. Ice cream sundaes are the desserts for tonight!

1. Natalia decides to leave Connie's but Tere decides to stay and wait out Connie's bad mood explaining to Natalia that Connie needs her because she has nobody else but Delia the maid. She reminds Natalia that  if it were Andrea, Natalia would be doing the same.  Natalie has to agree. 

2. Adrián meets with Samia who is upset that Elías keeps pretending that Omar does not exist. Adrián informs her that her son is living in a rented room near Natalia's.   He sees that as a real sorry situation considering he is a Haddad. Samia says it is all her fault for mistreating Andrea but now she is set to recognize her as  a daughter-in-law because, in the end, she loves her son. Adrián cannot believe what he is hearing. Sami confesses to having spent days balancing her energy so she could turn into an understanding, loving and divine mother-in-law. She knows that the way back to her ChuChú is through Andrea so she is dedicated to planing the perfect wedding for them. Adrián smiles.

 ⦁ Andrea tells everyone as she's ready to leave the hospital that she's going to join Omar.  Yup, she's moving downtown to the barrio boarding house that Omi now is renting from Chole.  Although Papi Adrian tries to find various excuses to make her change her mind and join him back at the new manse, Natalia has responses to counter every single one and the barrio it is.

⦁ Adi drives Nata back to his manse for Andi's things; he is still trying to convince her he was right to suggest one night at the manse.  "--Oh, so you can manipulate her like you did Regina to get all three of us living with you again?  --No.  Just drive.  I'm not in the mood to argue with you."  Ok.  He tries flirting with her again.  She responds NEGatively! It's over and get it through your thick head!

 Hey, JudyB, so happy to hear that you are back home!  It will be quicker trip to the patio  The heat lamps will be out tonight. We have savory and sweet tamales to snack on to celebrate your return!

1. As they are working in the kitchen, JuanGa is informing Natalia that the secret to his sauce is that he uses dried chipotles not canned ones. Natalia  could really tell in the flavor. A call from Adrián interrupts their conversation. As Adrián tells Natalia that he is taking  Andrea to the hospital, Andrea is screaming in pain from the back seat of his car.  Natalia will contact Fernanda so they are seen in emergency the emergency room upon arrival. Natalia is on her way.

2. In her room, Granny Magos is saying her rosary when Olga arrives  trying to get on GrannyMagos' good side by bringing her a vase full of fresh flowers to liven up her bedroom. In their conversation, GrannyMagos says the doctors recommend that she get out and walk. Olga suggests that she take her out walking and they could take care of each other. It would be a good chance for them to smooth things over. GrannyMagos is not convinced. Olga continues saying  if GrannyMagos would allow her to take care of her and give her some company, it would be her way of showing her gratitude for staying at her home. Maybe she would realize that she is not as bad as she thinks. GrannyMagos finally gives in asking for a few minutes to get ready. Olga assures her that she will not be sorry and she has a feeling they will end up being be very good friends.

⦁ Claudio witnesses Olga and Adrian leaving Gustavo and Chole's engagement party together.; it's quite obvious the two know each other... 

⦁ Inside the boarding house kitchen, Natalia scolds Andrea for trying to embarrass her in front of Vicente by bringing her father there to stir the pot.  Andi insists Papi's only intention was to say hello to all.  Nata says don't treat me like a child; "-- I am not and you know it."v Andi insists naively that her father is totally repentant, loves only Nata, and never robbed a centavo from anybody.  "-This is not the time for expressing sorrow and resentments. ! spoke to Veronica and know the level of his betrayal.  I am never going to trust Adrian again."  Andi insists Vero is to blame for everything. "--He left us all starving and in street.  He should be in jail for the rest of his life!"  "--Mom!  He didn't steal anything!  Understand that!"  "--For crying out loud!  We're both women now!  Respect what I'm saying!  Is it my fault your father left me for another woman?  Oh, he says I ignored him and so he went to somebody else after twenty years?  Don't be naive, Andrea!  Your father plans everything to the nth degree.  He's a businessman who always plans for the future in any deal he makes.   He leaves nothing to chance; he knows all the possibilities and doesn't make a move unless.  He knew exactly what he was doing and therefore is totally responsible for the Hell he left us in!!  So, do not get mad at me if I offend him or do not act tolerant around him!  Because it isn't right; it isn't fair for either me or my family!  Respect my position!."

Hey, JudyB,  a friend baked us some sugar cookies with plenty of butter and multicolored sugar sprinkles on top.  I will be bringing them to the patio tonight. There are lilies of the valley blooming all around. It is so nice that it is lighter longer outside for our viewing convenience! There is nothing like spring. 

1. Natalia catches Olga all decked out and looking like she is ready to go out on the prowl.  She is feeling much better. Natalia suggests that she go to have the doctor check her out first since she was having so much pain earlier. Olga isn't interested. Natalia doesn't think it is such a good idea for her  to go out at night on top of it all. Olga insists she isn't a child. Natalia offers to go with her. Nope, Olga only wants to be left in peace. JuanGa comes in, Olga tries to ignore him and pushes past him on her way out.

2. Tavo says to Chole that he always wanted to be a father; he was dying to be a father.  He starts to explain what happened with Connie but Chole doesn't want to hear.  She says if he doesn't get her pregnant, they can adopt a baby. She asks if he isn't going to put the engagement ring on her finger. He proposes and she accepts. They kiss.

 Quick Recap because I spent the morning doing chores, cleaning the kitty litter box is never fun.

*Am I the only one that just realized the Natalia's one awful child is the child named after her awful father?* Also, are the cops investigating Olga's attack? I've missed episodes and recaps because life is currently hell.

• Natalia walks in in Olga kissing Chente, Olga tries to blame the kiss on Chente but Natalia tells her she saw everything and finally Olga tells the truth- she forced the kiss on poor Chente and OMG why don't they pack her things and send her on her way what is wrong with them why are they so dumb, I wrote this the way my brain processed it last night. 
• Chente thanks Natalia for trusting him and expresses regret that his actions have led to Olga having to live with them, he is also upset that Natalia had to give up her bedroom to Olga and proposes that they start living as a family and invites her to move in to his bedroom.
• Olga is eavesdropping and almost has a stroke.
• Juan Gabriel made a mistake with the repair of a car that could have caused the car to explode, this makes Tavo fire him.
• Juan Gabriel cries, he lost his job and his woman, what is a guy to do? He needs a job that will value him.

Hey, JudyB, hope you are settled in and ready for the show.  Save me a seat. I have some chocolates for us to snack on. This looks like this going to be a good episode  tonight. 

1. Olga tells Ben she wants him to be quiet as a "tomb" because if he isn't,  she is going to cut his tongue out and give it to the dogs to eat. He starts to beg her not to as he cries. She covers his mouth and goes on to threaten to put a spell on his Granny Magos if he doesn't behave himself with her. Ben  promises her that he will behave well with her. She says that is good because he now knows what is going to happen. She tells him to stick out his tongue and touches it with her gross fingernail. She repeats that she will cut his tongue out as he begs her not to. She shushes him to be quiet.

2.  At the rooming house, Chole asks Vale how Tavo is doing. She says he is real sad and she knows he misses her. Chole says there are some things that just are not negotiable and this is one of them. Chole explains it isn't because they do not love each other. They want very different things out of life. She wants a family and a baby but hat is the last thing Tavo wants. What really offended her is that he wanted to compensate her by offering her the rooming house and the beauty shop property. Vale sees that as  such a good opportunity to own something. Vale cannot see accepting a house as a gift. Vale suggests that she buy it from Tavo by making monthly payments until she is the owner. Vale has to admit that isn't a bad idea.

⦁ Vicente and Natalia agree to take Vicente's reimbursement check from Adrian to buy whatever equipment, tables, and chairs will be necessary for the fonda as an investment.

⦁ Regina informs Andrea over the phone about their needing to leave Chente's house due to Olga's moving in.  Andi says she'll come by in the morning to show them the new house El Wonderful Loving and Repentant Papi bought them. ( Allow me to retch!)

⦁ The next morning Olga puts on a hot pink negligee and sneaks into Chente's bedroom.  She loses it and bawls out, "NO!" when she sees a naked Nata spooning with her beloved.  Nata wakes up and asks what she's doing in there.  "--No!  What are you doing in here, you shameless hussy!"  (Lest Viewerville scream back in vain, "-- Look in the mirror and tell us now what YOU are," we must remember ultimately that La Vulga's emotional elevator does not go all the way to the top.  In fact, if the top is  floors18-20, hers stops at 10-12. )

Hey, JudyB, the lilacs are blooming on the patio and their fragrance is permeating the air tonight. We have some lovely blueberry scones with tea or coffee to get comfy with.  Enjoy!

1. Connie continues her harangue criticizing her mother for never being an example for her daughters because she never demanded her rightful place with their father so they could have had his last name. She thinks that the reason that Tere is now supporting Chole  and not her is because she identifies with Chole the whore being "the lover."  Tere must think she is looking in a mirror when she sees her.  Connie sees them as being pathetic because they both are nothing more than a pair of doormats. Tere tells her to shut up and slaps her hard in the face.  Tere stalks off after telling her that she will never forgive her, never. 

2. Still at the park, Natalia and Chente agree with the therapist that the next appointment will be in the office. A new little boy Chucho comes over to play with them. Chente invites Chucho to come to play with them on Chente's team since he needs "the help." In tears, Chucho tells Ben that he is so lucky that he has a father to play with him. His father died. Ben gives him a hug. Chente gets them all to play.

⦁ Who is speaking on Omar's phone?  Why it's Veronica, silly! Natalia cannot believe it.  "-- You said you were in Mexico!"  "--Yes.  And instead of coming to our appointment you and your preferred to meet up with Adrian for a reconciliation, right?"  "--How do you know so much about my life?"  "--That's my secret. --You know I never thought you would forgive your husband so easily!.  I thought you had more dignity than that!....Adrian, remember those weekend business trips?  And when you found me sick in bed, Adrian was hiding in the closet.  (Snicker)" Adi awakends from the shock and spits into the phone that every day since running away with her he could kick himself (complains to himself) how he could have ever gotten involved with such a poisonous snake as she! Vero purrs like a kitten..."--just like you said when we were making love....."  Natalia can hardly catch her breath.

 Hi all, below is your recap:

• Olga continues to fake being a victim, everyone is mad at vicente for leaving her behind, Simba gives her an update on what's going on in the barrio and Olga is convinced that Vicente will now have to be with her FOREVER.
• Simba's like "girl your toxic", he takes his 30,000 pesos and leaves.
• Seriously, everyone feels bad for Olga including Mario and Valentina, Mariois quick to blame Chente, as the conversation progresses Valentina says she wants to go see Felix in prison to give me a piece of her mind!
• Chente finds out the truth- Natalia did not reconcile with Adrian and in fact she spent the night with Andrea and Regina, yes, she and Adrian are getting along a bit better BUT Natalia has made it clear to Adrian that she loves Vicente.
• Vicente realizes he's a dummy and goes looking for Natalia in order to apologize but Teresa tells him he's just like Adrian and to leave Natalia alone.
• The next morning Natalia makes breakfast for everyone, she gets up from the table and tells everyone she agreed to join Adrian for breakfast.
• Adrian shows up and he has a showdown with Vicente. Adrian is a jerk and calls Vicente a dog with fleas! He gets punched for this and I cheered. Adrian does give Chente a check for the money he stole from him, he tells him that with that money he can pay off Natalia and the house will finally be his. Vicente questions whether the check will clear, I'm wondering the same.
• Elias calls Mario, he has a plan to get revenge on Adrian, basically his plan is to trick Adrian into a shady business deal, a deal so juicy that there's no doubt that Adrian will steal from them and when he does they will send him back to prison where he belongs.
• Mario was a busy boy, he also helps Tavo draft the paperwork needed to gift Chole the boarding house and the salon.

 Hey, JudyB, it is hot and muggy on the patio tonight. We went from winter to summer in three days. We have some fresh lemonade  to keep us cool and hydrated.  

1. Chole is at the hospital to visit Olga who keeps turned away so her cousin can't see what she looks like. She doesn't want anyone to touch her. As Chole asks what happened, Olga turns to show her battered face and says she was with Chente at an out of the way place far from there. He started to fight with her because of Natalia. Then he left her there all alone. She asked him not to leave but he didn't pay any attention to her.  She started to walk hoping somebody would pick her up or maybe get a taxi. A cargo truck stopped and offered to take her to the city. It was early morning. She was cold. It turned out to be her worst nightmare. 

2. Knowing what he knows, Chente doesn't know what he is going to do about Natalia. She is in his blood. He is at the point of tears but doesn't want Ben to see him like he is. Tavo is feeling the same way about his Chole. Chente advises him to tell Chole the truth. She is understanding and Chente is sure they will find happiness with or without a child. Tavo doesn't want to ruin her life like he did to Connie.
