Una Familia Con Suerte #247-248 Fri 5/11/12 Vice is in, Pancho is Arrested and Freddy is Dead to Me
The Refried:
Sebas and Pancho talk about the fraud.
Betto and Raymundo agree that Irachetta is responsible for the fraud.
Pablo meets with Rebe and Dona Rebe.
Fight with Pepe, Frida, and Moni.
Ana thinks about her talk with Kari, the loss of the baby, and Lupe comes to talk to Ana, and Ana tells her Kari lost the baby.
Frida is mad she is the rebound girl.
Pepe and Moni want to get en flagrante again.
The New:
Rebe confronts Pablo and wants to know if he is only with Dona Rebe for the money. He says no, just likes her alot. Rebe tells him he better never hurt Dona Rebe or he'll have to deal with her.
Adrian tells his daughter he wants to marry Ana as soon as possible. He thought bubbles to himself, before she changes her mind.
Ana is determined to marry Adrian too. Ana and Lupe are in a bridal shop looking at dresses. Lupe keeps asking Ana if she is sure she is making the right choice. Ana insists her and Freddy are thru and she is marrying Adrian, punto. Lupe just wants her to think about what she is doing.
Chacho goes to see the urologist, about why he isn't getting Sandrita pregnant. The urologist tells him he will have to do some testing. Chacho thinks he has to go thru the same procedure with the butt thing, but the doctor hands him a cup, and says he needs a sample of his sperm as soon as possible. Chacho goes to do that, and comes back tout suite not, and the doctor is asleep. Chacho wakes him up and the doctor is snapping on a glove and Chacho freaks out, but the doctor laughs and takes the sample and tells Chacho they will test and see what is what. Chacho is relieved.
There is a board meeting at the company, and everyone is banging the financial report. Raymund has called this meeting to inform Pancho they found the fraud. Pancho tells them the company's account was hacked and the money was deposited in an account in the Cayman Islands. Pancho says he will make sure this is fully investigated. Raymundo tells Pancho the authorities have to investigate this, and according to statues, Pancho has to step down, and there will be an interim prez. Guess who the new interim prez is, anyone? That's right, Vice. Everyone is mad, cause they just know Vice has something to do with this, and would rather have Pina take over. They will call Lic. Mendoza the hardest working lawyer at Avon.
Pepe and Moni, in their afterglow, are talking about where they are going to live, now. They are not keeping the apartment. Moni has some money from her Moms. She wants to be sure this is for realz this time and he won't go back to Frida. He asks for forgiveness and says he loves only her, and will wait for marriage.
Meanwhile, Frida is whining to Don Mattias about finding Pepe and Moni together, and Don Mattias says he is glad that Frida is not marrying Pepe, cause, are you ready for this Frida, Pepe doesn't love you. The rebound girl gets a crazed look in her eyes and says, no matter, I will wait for him, no matter how long it takes. (Note to Frida: Listen Chica never gonna happen. Get a new "Luke" ditch Pepe and find a cuter guy who truely loves you).
Vice's first action as prez is to fire Sebas. Pina stands right up for her man, and tells Vice she is rehiring Sebas right here and now. He has to work with Pina, cause Vice won't have him as head of Finance. Sebas and Pina just know that Vice is responsible for this mess.
Chela is conflicted about going to live in Monterrey. She misses Enzzo but will miss her family here too. Moni tells her they should be together.
Doc Oc is by himself and Lupe comes by and offers to make him something to eat. He doesn't want anything, but she makes him something anyway. He likes it and she tells him he will never be alone. The whole Lopez clan loves him and will never desert him.
Adrian comes to see Ana and tells her , hey lets get married tomorrow! Ana says whoa big fella. I want a special day with a church, a beautiful wedding dress, my Papancho walking me down the aisle. Adrian tells her he is worried she will get back with Freddy. She has to tell him yet again, I am marrying you and not Freddy.
Dona Rebe and Candy are talking about Vice and how much Candy loves him, when he calls her. He wants her to meet with him. Sappy as she is, she goes to meet him. She wants to know why her brother is in so much trouble? Look me in the eye and tell me you had nothing to do with it? He swears it is all Pancho who did this fraud. He tells her he loves her, can't be without her, blah blah, she is such a pushover she reconciles with Vice! (Note to Candy: run as fast as you can girl, and never look back!).
Pancho and Rebe are in bed, and just about to get en flagrante, when Candy just waltzes right in, no knock mind you, and tells them she has gone back to Vice.
Pina, Sebas and Freddy have a little meeting and Pina asks him if Vice could have caused this mess. Freddy tries not to let anything out, he thought bubbles about the request Vice made of him to find him a hacker. He tells Pina and Sebas they can't go accusing his Paps without proof. He says this several times. This makes Pina suspicious and she tells Sebas, once Freddy has left, that Freddy knows something.
Coincendentially, Freddy is meeting with Vice.Freddy wants to know if Vice found a hacker and did this to Pancho? Vice convinces Freddy he didn't do anything and this is all Pancho's fault. Freddy has a hard time believing Vice. Vice offers Freddy the Financial Director position. He tells Paps that he was a communications major, but Vice tells him he is qualified for the job. Freddy thinks about the position. Freddy decides to take the job. Sebas comes by for his things from his old office and sees Freddy there. Freddy tells him he is the new director of Finances. He tells Freddy if you ever need help just let me know. (Note to Freddy: you are offically on my dead to me list. Ya know your Paps did this, jus' sayin' it's time to man up and tell someone.)
Chela and Enzzo talk by phone, and she tells him she is conflicted about moving to Monterrey. Enzzo says he wants his family with him, punto. He gives her an ultimatum. She is very upset.
Ana is going to order that wedding dress. Lupe is with her and asks her again whether she is making the right decision. Ana again tells her, she is marrying Adrian, punto.
Vice tells Candy he is going to sponsor her radio show again. She is very happy. (Note to Candy: Haven't you had enough of the criminal element? Wasn't Napo bad enough, jus' saying).
Pancho is arrested for the fraud. Rebe gives him big hugs and kisses , he tells her to be strong, take care of the babies, they tell each other they love each other. Rebe swears she will do everything in her power to prove his innocence. Pancho tells her to call the hardest working lawyer at Avon, Lic Mendoza.
Tomas is at work and finds out Pancho has been arrested for fraud. Tomas will not be part of this investigation. Tomas is very upset and swears Pancho could never have done this.
Pancho is in the same jail where everyone in Toluca goes when they are arrested, the Lic in charge is the same one, albiet no glasses now, must have gotten a new "Luke" and gotten contacts. The Lic. tells him no bail for you, you have to stay in jail until the judge decides what is what. Pancho starts to tell him he didn't do it, but Lic Mendoza tells him to shut it, he ain't sayin' nothing now. The Lic tells him since his crime is so bad they are sending him to Cereso State Prison. (Side Note: I goggled this prison to see if it actually existed. It does it is in Juarez, in Chihuahua State. It is the worst prison in Mexico. It is home to gang bangers, murderers, drug cartels etc. It is very corrupt, the warden was way worse than the criminals in there, and the Federales had to take control of it in 2011 after a prison riot that killed alot of people. It is like a thousand miles from Toluca). This is the same prison Tomas was in. Pancho is transferred there quickly and has his mug shots taken.
The whole family calls each other, tells each other what happened and gather together to see what they can do. They even call Enzzo in Monterrey, who being such a good friend, drops everything and comes right to Toluca. They all determine they will do everything they can to prove Pancho didn't do this. Tomas isn't liking where they sent Pancho. Candy is NOT at this family meeting.
Pina and Sebas talk about Freddy and Pina is convinced that Vice caused all of these problems and that Vice gave the Financial directorship to Freddy to keep him quiet. Sebas is going to contact someone about helping them catch this hacker. Sebas is convinced someone hacked the Avon Account.
Cut to the prison. The assistant of the warden Senor Valasquez recognizes Pancho and tells him the Directora wants a meet with him. Pancho goes in to meet her, and she says she knows who he is, and he can get whatever he wants there, women, liquor, drugs whatevs. Pancho is very sceptical but plays along saying he wants cable and cognac. This Directora is very corrupt. She is drinking brandy and chomps on a cigar, and spits the end at Pancho. She says, I think, that Pancho stinks. Pancho smells himself. She also says this all comes with a price.
Rebe is so mad, smoke is coming out of her ears, and she asks Dona Rebe to watch the babies while she goes out for a bit. Dona Rebe tells her no worries. Rebe goes to Avon and asks Pina not to fire her, she is out on maternity leave, but it expires soon. Rebe doesn't want to lose her job. Pina assures her to take all the time she needs, she completely understands. Pina and Sebas will help her. Rebe leaves and goes to Vice's office and tells him, I will tear you to pieces count on it, you jackanapes and jackwagon!
Lunes on Familia:
Vice holds a news conference.
Freddy kisses Ana, who says she has cancelled the wedding.
The Gargoyle from Cereso blackmails Pancho and hits him, sound familiar?
Vice is choking the hacker, and we see his face.

El Mundo de Telemundo, Week of May 14, 2012: Discuss Amongst Yourselves
Just in case you're interested and you have access to the channel...
MUN2 (or "MunDos"), Telemundo's bilingual baby brother, will be airing Ojo por ojo starting May 21 at 10pm central time. This 2010 Telemundo/RTI Colombia production has been shown in Latin America but this will be its premiere in the United States. The screenplay is based on Laura Restrepo's novel, El leopardo al sol. (Restrepo also wrote the novel on which Flor salvaje was based.) The cast of Ojo por ojo includes Miguel Varoni, Gaby Espino, Gregorio Pernia and Carmen Villalobos. Might be interesting, no?

Abismo de pasión #44 5/10/12: No Reservations Allowed for the Passion Pit Smorgasbord
Leftovers: That part where Horacio and Flor do not end up in a mad clinch, but Enrique and Flor do. Damian discovers them and blows his stack.
Steamed Stud Muffin: Steam one Damian over a full boil until he can absorb no more lies.
“Pardon me for interrupting!” Damian lets Flor have it, he couldn’t believe he blamed himself for her accident. Enrique starts to stick up for her and Dam nearly pounds his face into the wall. “Not a word! Not from you either Florencia!”
Flor follows Dam into the house as fast as her little spiked heels will carry her. She just wants to explain, Enrique forced himself upon her. Dam calls bull***t on her. He spoke to Kenia and knows Flor lied about everything. “WE are over for good. Now get out of my life!” Alfonsina and Guido catch this last bit, and when they ask what’s going on Dam just tells them to ask HER.
Now papa Guido’s all over Flor’s case. Where was her head? Flor admits everything is all her fault. Pops tells her not to count on him for help this time. Damian had every right to tell her to go to the devil. Sheesh!
Full of Beans: Cover dried beans with water and simmer until tender. Add Epazote to avoid flatulence and hot air.
Over at Casa Chisme Enrique gripes to Sabrina that Flor will
never forgive him, not to mention he’s broke. Not necessarily, she observes, maybe now the door will be wide open for him. Speaking of doors Begoña comes through theirs, what are the niños doing at home? “My job at La Anita is over,” says Enrique, “Sit down mom. Damian’s going to fire me.” Begoña freaks at her own family’s chisme. I wonder, will she get on the phone or give it a rest for once?
Braised Asshat: Place one Augusto in the slow-cooker with one plump tomato. (Habaneros optional.) Set to high and simmer until the saxophones play.
Well we sure didn’t have to wait long to see the Assgusto/Kenia connection. Gael proudly shows her the fields while Assgusto ogles nearby. She loves how Gael is so passionate about los campos and apologizes for what she did. She’d like to meet Elisa and apologize directly to her. Assgusto and his coco frío enter the scene. Kenia gives him a delightful introductory kiss and explains it’s all her fault that Gael is late. Assgusto is mesmerised but manages to introduce himself. When Kenia hears he is Elisa’s father she wrangles an invitation to dinner so she can meet Elisa. She mentions something about Ingrid his mama and then gives Assgusto another kiss and hug goodbye. See ya later!
Assgusto asks Gael what was she talking about? Gael reveals that a couple of days ago he discovered his mother is alive. He asks Assgusto if he knows anything about Ingrid Navarro. Nope, the name doesn’t mean anything to him, but Gael can count on him for any help he needs. He’s glad that Gael and Kenia (drool) are coming over.
Alfonsina Omelette: Take one Fina and crack her into a bowl. Add the bitter truth and whisk. Pour into a hot pan and stir gently until her forehead is set.
Dam is in his room unpacking and cooling down. Fina comes in and demands to know what happened. Dam says he ran into Kenia (who’s back in town) who told him about Flor’s fake pregnancy plot, then he just found Flor mouth-kissing Enrique Tovar at the stables! He makes the connection and accuses Fina of being complicit in the pregnancy plot. “Are you saying you knew nothing about the fake pregnancy?” Mom can’t answer. “Fine, then I’ll assume you plotted with Florencia all this time.”
Fina tries to defend herself without actually lying but Dam will have none of it. He heard she sent Flor’s x-rays to Merida for analysis. Well sure, she says, and they said there was nothing physically wrong with her. But she didn’t want to get between Flor and Dam and she sure didn’t want to keep Dam from going to the DF. He asks her how many other things has she hidden from him? She can’t believe he’s blaming her for what happened with Flor. “I”m not blaming you mom, I just don’t trust you. I don’t trust anyone.”
TranquiliTea: Place dried chamomile, mint and lemon balm in a teapot, pour hot water over and steep for three minutes. Sip and visualize all will be right with the world.
Ramona visits Padre to get the chisme about Ingrid. Padre says it’s true, Gael’s mother is back in town, “risen from the dead”. But he suspects there is something else bothering Ramona. He suspects she fears the same thing will happen to Paloma, that Gabino will decide to tell her he’s her father. He advises Ramona to talk to Paloma but Ramona asks how can she tell her nieta that her father is a bastard (malnacido). Padre says she’s got a right to know and if Ramona doesn’t tell her Paloma will feel resentful. And believe him, he knows what he’s talking about.
Turkey Surprise: Clean one turkey and dress it well. Place in oven and try to forget about it until dinner.
Later that evening Assgusto, acting practically normal, brings Gael home and instructs a delighted Lolita to set two more places. Elisa is also delighted, all those years of working for them and it’s the first time dad has invited Gael to dinner. (Gael’s face is priceless.)
Elisa and Gael talk about how he is dealing with Ingrid. Gael says she doesn’t mean anything to him. He thanks Padre Lupe for who he (Gael) is. He is grateful to Elisa for being able to share his problems with her. He admits that Damian told him he should fight for Elisa’s love. She doesn’t look exactly thrilled.
Big Fish to Fry Tacos: Take the last big fish and fry it. Add just enough information to be dangerous. Wrap in soft tortillas and serve to the Big Cheese. Wait for your tip but watch your back.
Over at the ProCeSaDora Maru tells Ingrid that Damian won’t be coming back to work, he’s returning to the DF. Didn’t Gabino tell her? Ingrid is annoyed, he didn’t tell her anything and this news affects her big plans. GABINO slides in and wants to walk her home but Ingrid will have none of it. She’s got somewhere to go. GABINO pouts. Maru gloats.
Ingrid heads over to Hacienda Harangue-O to see Dam and annoy Fina. Fina is even more annoyed to find out she works at La ProCesADora. Ingrid turns on the water works and tells Damian she needs to talk to him about her baby she abandoned many years ago in La Ermita. “Gael es mi hijo and you would be very surprised to learn who his father is.” Fina thinks she and Ingrid should take it offline. Nopis, Ingrid heard Damian is leaving and she needs to talk to him NOW. Fina steps in for one last, desperate lob, “Lady, rest assured we will do whatever we can to help you. Get it?”
Ingrid tells Dam that Gael knows she is his mother but wants to know nothing about her. That’s why she’s here to beg Damian to help her get close to Gael. “And Gael’s papa, do I know him?” Dam asks, “does he live here?” Ingrid says the father’s name is well-known and loved by all the people of La Ermita. She promised she would never identify him and it's better for everyone, especially Gael, if she keeps it zipped.
After Ingrid leaves Fina asks if she revealed who is Gael’s father. No, but why does Fina suddenly care about what happens to Gael?
Toxic Citrus Punch: Squeeze one Tangel-Ho until she squeals. Squeeze some more.
Over at Casa Castration (thanks Pasofino!) the Blood Orange is on her muletas whining because Assgusto ignores her and doesn’t care that she is injured. She’s also annoyed that the orphan is invited to dinner. She thinks this dinner is all very odd. The last time they had guests was when Stef invited Rosendo and Alfonsina, remember? That was the night she told him his wife and Rosendo...eran amantes! (Holy crap, they haven’t had guests since then? Not even Lucio and Blanca?) Saved by the bell!
Enter Kenia. “And who is this?” demands Agent Orange. Assgusto introduces Kenia, Gael’s friend. Carmina snorts in anger, “I am Carmina, Assgusto’s bitchy, rude and orange wife.” She stomps her muletas for emphasis and refuses to shake Kenia’s hand. Assgusto literally drools as Kenia leaves the room to join Gael. Orangina knows! Sweet.
Kenia joins Gael and Elisa. Elisa blasts Kenia for her role in Flor’s fake pregnancy. Kenia immediately owns up and apologizes. She didn’t know Elisa and believed what everyone says. “Good that you admit the truth,” snaps Elisa, “but I don’t want you in my house and we’re not going to be friends.” Kenia wants to talk to Elisa alone. She convinces Elisa that Flor and her uncle are a couple of manipulators and they completely hoodwinked Kenia. The most important thing is that Damian knows the truth and it would be logical for him to dump Florencia.
Refritos: Take those beans from earlier, fry and mash like crazy until its too late.
Doc Tovar and Begoña are arguing really loudly in his office about Enrique. Paloma doesn’t even need to press her ear to the door. Begoña tells him what happened with Flor and Enriquito. I think she is more worried about her friendship with Alfonsina than Enrique’s job or anything else. Doc says it’s half Flor’s fault and this sets Begoña to shrieking again.
Doc visits Enrique in his room to get the chisme straight from the horse’s mouth. He tells his son he doesn’t think this girl is worth the trouble. Enrique is confused and he feels bad for making problems for Flor. Dad advises that maybe he did Damian a favor. Sometimes women take advantage and the worst of it is men find out too late. He speaks from experience.
Habanero Salsa de la Casa: Take one plump, luscious tomato, add one young habanera pepper and one faithful clove of garlic, then add the grated, dried up old rind of one orange; grind in a molcajete until the orange disappears. Add fresh herbs before serving.
Elisa has forgiven Kenia and they are all seated for what promises to be a very interesting meal. Elisa is amazed by Assgusto’s good manners. Kenia asks for more salsa and Orangina just glares at her. Assgusto grabs the salsa and spoons it onto Kenia’s plate for her. Orangina is clearly annoyed and Elisa is clearly amused. Elisa and Gael talk about their plans for Las Tierras but they need lots of money. Kenia is interested. Orangina is annoyed. Saved by the bell!
It’s Paloma who needs to talk to Elisa in private. Assgusto notes they are just about done with dinner (doesn’t look like it to me) but Paloma is welcome to join them for coffee. “No!” interjects Orangina. “Yes!” interjects Elisa reveling in Orangina’s discomfort, “Join us.” Orangina is miffed and excuses herself, the meal doesn’t agree with her. Paloma asks Elisa what’s going on? Assgusto and Kenia make eyes at each other and Elisa whispers she’ll tell Paloma later.
Hot Mess Coleslaw: Grate cabbage and habaneros. Squeeze fresh lime over. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with everything.
Flor begs Fina to help her. Fina scoffs, she told Flor to behave better than Elisa and now look at her, she’s worse than Elisa. She understands exactly why Dam told Flor to go to the devil and the best thing would be for Florencia to return to Mexico City. Fina kicks Flor out, she’s got her own problems to deal with.
Dam visits Padre to report he knows about Ingrid. Padre doesn’t understand why Ingrid approached Damian. Dam asks does Padre know who Gael’s father is? Padre says as a priest he cannot reveal this information. Dam also reports Flor is not the woman he thought and he’s decided to stay in La Ermita. Padre is excited to hear that Dam plans to look for Elisa tomorrow.
Taza de Chocolate: Add one tablet Mexican chocolate to 3 cups milk (or almond milk). Heat and whisk with molinillo until frothy. Add dash of Kahlua. Pour into two mugs and top with whipped cream for Lolita and Elisa to enjoy. Now leave them alone.
The young people say goodbye without Paloma getting to tell Elisa why she stopped by. It’s late so Gael agrees to walk Paloma home. Paloma admits Elisa told her about Ingrid.
Elisa smiles and watches from her window as they ride away on Gael’s horse. Such a handsome couple, she tells Lolita. Elisa assures Lolita that she loves Gael like a brother. She asks Lolita if Kenia is interested in Gael. Lolita didn’t see any flirting, there was something else between them. Elisa reports that it was Kenia who helped Flor, and she apologized to Elisa. They giggle at how pithed off Tia Orangina was with all Elisa’s friends at dinner. And there was something else going on with her too.
GERD: Eat one delicious meal prepared by Lolita. Go to bed and look at Carmina.
Assgusto tells Carmina she was pretty obvious at dinner. Orangina hisses it was Elisa’s low-class friends. It’s too bad she can’t find friends of her own ilk. Assgusto tells her not to be such a snob. Estefania was never like that. (Man, these two really know how to push each other’s buttons!) Orangina explodes, of course not, she is very different from Stef! She doesn’t jump on the first man who comes into their house. (Erm, yes you do.) She accuses him of making eyes at Kenia. It was because of her that he invited them to dinner, right? How many years has it been since he dressed for dinner? He said Gael is going through difficulties and that’s why they were invited to dinner. She hobbles out in a fury to sleep in the spare room.
Breakfast Humble Pie: Take the heart and manly bits of one hot stallion, add one Damian and fry in a pan until the stallion parts are shriveled. Top with pastry and bake until the workers cheer. Serve with scrambled huevos and a smile.
Gabino strides into work, at last things will be back to normal! “Not so fast,” smirks Maru. Damian strides in behind and wishes them good morning. Maru tells him Don Lucio is waiting in his office.
Lucio says he was surprised to hear Dam is staying. Dam says he called Lucio because he is ready to put together a contract between Los Arango and Elisa. Lucio isn’t sure that Elisa will agree to it. Dam is sure he can convince Elisa.
Holy Guacamole: Mix one roasted habanera with four avocados. Stand back.
Gael is at Casa Castration to meet Elisa. Lolita tells him she was waiting for Don Lucio but when he didn’t show up she left sola. Just then Elisa arrives home and is in a state because again no loans and she is ready to plant las tierras NOW.
Elisa and Gael ride together to las tierras. She stomps around the fields ripping out old habaneros and crying that she wants to plant. Gael grabs her and promises to help. Everything will turn out, she’ll see. She cries on his shoulder and I swear I hear a bird of prey screeching in the background. Yikes! Up rides Damian and he glares at what he sees. Dude, it’s your own fault for jerking Elisa around and telling Gael to go for it.
Avances: Paloma tells Elisa about Flor and Enrique. Damian tells Padre he’s making a play for Elisa. Gael and Damian butt heads.
