Una Familia Con Suerte #263 Wed 5/23/12 Oh yeah, some stuff happened.
Well friends, here we are! The final episode begins with a tiresome hour of replays, which I did not feel guilty about skipping.
Violenta preps her goons for a little home invasion. They get the drop on the Lopez' police detail, tie them up with cheap packing tape and proceed to crash the Lopez family gathering. When they get in, they tie up the maid with the same tape, and Violeta has her men collect everyone's phones. Pancho is funny when it's turn - he just pulls one crumpled kleenex after another out of his pocket!
Wicked-Schizo-Amazon-Barbie wants Pancho to decide which Lopez will die first. But before this evil scheme can play itself out, she hears one of the upstairs babies on the monitor... She threatens everyone, leaves the rest of the family downstairs with Samuel (Flunkie #1), and takes Rebe and Flunkie #2 upstairs to the nursery. She seizes the nearest baby and begins to shake it menacingly, but she has a moment of doubt snaps back into only-slightly-crazy Amazon Barbie... the two barbies struggle inside her head, and Rebe gets the baby back. Then bad-mamazon comes back and grabs the other baby.
Downstairs, Ana tries to bribe the mercenaries, buying the boys enough time to punch them into submission. They all grab guns and rush upstairs, sneaking around like secret agents or something. Pancho sneaks into the nursery and disarms the last guard. Then he kicks the gun away, but it goes off! That's what he gets for trying to act like Bond. Violenta inches towards the window and raises the baby girl. Amusingly, she doesn't actually get the baby to the window. She's holding the baby 5 feet up (maybe more, given those heels) and everyone is terrified. Monica gets in a tearful plea, from one "mother to another," telling her that time in Paris was unforgettable(yeah, getting a bad hairdo while your mom buys poison, what great time that must have been!). Nonetheless, Violeta gives up the baby and hugs her daughter.
Tomas leads a team of cops to the casa Lopez (it seems like he's in charge of absolutely everything the police do...), and arrests Violeta, who is cradling an imaginary baby. Tomas says she had seduced a French scientist to get the poison, and now she will spend the rest of her days locked up. She says "I doubt it, siempre salgo con lo mio." And poisons herself.
Enzo is much relieved to hear his health is better, and we get another PSA about eating less fat. Enzo gets the doctor to say that sex is perfectly OK. Chela is embarrassed. Hahaha. In the bedroom, Chela looks a little nervous as Enzo swings on a vine in a loincloth and beats his chest.
Arnold "baby" gets into Ray's car for their date. Basically, the story is that he's confused. I'll say! Going from closeted-sex (tee-hee) with Barbs to a dude with a purple silk scarf around his neck in just a few short episodes... Then he is treated to a weird and awful karaoke serenade at this gay bar/club/restaurant. This is basically all the closure we get on Arnold in this finale.
Pina has recovered completely and is busily flipping a few shits about her wedding. See, her wedding planner has been preoccupied lately. Wonder why?
Tomas, now in his capacity as head-of-missing-persons-department (man, they fast-tracked him, from prisoner to boss of police in a few months), lets Freddy know that Vins has not been spotted. They found the car but not the guy.
Cut to a park where Vins appears to have stolen an outfit from a homeless man (as in, not what he was wearing when his bender began) and grown 2 inches of beard overnight. He now has a following of two filthy dogs.
Candi is ready to be a nun, she just has one great work left to do. Sister Superior (rolling her eyes at Candi's zeal) sends her off in a van to put blankets on homeless guys in a park. She happens to be putting a blanket on Vins and begins to recognize him. He looks up and sees an angel. "I'm dead, you're an angel." She thinks she's crazy and runs away to the convent.
Adoracion won't leave Sebs and Pina alone. She's enamored of the two, particularly Sebastian, and won't leave them in peace. He gives in and lets her see pictures of the wedding plan.
Also, has anyone read all of the things on Ado's "o my go" shirt?
Tomas proposes to Lupita. These proposal scenes are really all starting to seem the same.
Fred is worrying about Vins, but Pina thinks Vins just used his money to disappear.
There've been so many weddings in this show that they skip the lead up and jump right to the chase: all of a sudden, an awesome-looking Pina is walking down the aisle with Sebastian and getting interrupted by Vicente (who read about the wedding in the newspaper he was using as a blanket.
Needless to say, no one is happy to see him. Sebastian calls him "piltrafa" (a scrap, a skinny piece of meat that is little more than skin). Someone asks where he'd been and he says "I went on vacation in the street." Says Pancho: "Why don't you go home, clean up, and go to some institution that can help you." "Your beard is dirtier than your clothes." "It's all your fault, Pancho." "I'll go, but give me back my bottle!" He dissolves into a sobbing puddle of nenenenes...
Once he leaves, they try to get the wedding back on track.The judge, in a trendy cap, tries to get out a song, but everyone has had enough nonsense and they finish the wedding.
Melly's back, and the dog is in a tux! Sickening sappiness! I barf a little when the dogs start talking.
But Vins didn't go to Rehab! He went back to the park and the boozing. Guess someone should have kept an eye on him.

Abismo de pasión #52 5/22/12: Add Hypocrisy to Carmina and Augusto’s Sins
We saw yesterday that:
· Damian is a hag.
· Augusto will forever be tinned cat food to your recapper.
· Carmina is a very bad candidate for the clandestine services of Mexico.
· Paolo has a praise-worthy body and a teeny-tiny mind.
· Even Gabino is a better mother than Ingrid.
· Elisa needs to stay hydrated (so many tears!) and should be signing up for ass-kicking empowerment classes. We know she has got the boots. And the Boobs. Did I say that?
Not a Whole Lot of Trusting Going On In La Ermita
Gael and Father Guadelupe are having a meal. “Did you ever find out the relationship between Kenia and Ingrid?” asks the Father. “Kenia is her daughter, “ says Gael. “Her daughter?” responds an incredulous Padre. “Her daughter,” repeats Gael. Notice that he didn’t say, “My mother, my sister,” right here.
This launches Lupe into a conversational riff on how this explains Kenia’s interest in Gael in general and her interest in investing in the Habanero Project in particular. Padre also takes this opportunity to try to manipulate Gael back from his decision to leave La Ermita permanently. “See, you have to get to know her,” cries a resourceful Lupe. “The problem is I don’t trust her,” says Gael. “She is a liar like Ingrid. This is really hard for me, Padre! I don’t have a family! No mother, no sister.” “Well”, says the Good Father, “For me, I am really interested in getting to know her”.
Señor Tinned Cat food Has Coffee at Kenia’s
‘Gusto Cat food is sitting on the loveseat at Kenia’s Casa Rosa drinking his coffee. Kenia inquires about his comfort (who cares, he is tinned d-e-a-d-m-e-a-t) and jumps up to rub the kinks out of his neck caused from sleeping on her too-small loveseat while the breathy “ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh, ah-ah-ah-ahhhh, ah,ah,ah,ah” music plays. (I thought that was Esefania’s music, writers! Whaaaaat?) “Gusto Cat food stops her before he gets a stiffy and says he has a complicated day at work and has to go. He needs to go to the bank in Merida…well Holy Guacamole, what a coincidence! Kenia also needs to go to the only bank in Merida, capital of the Yucatan State, population 970,377. Fancy that! OK, Kids, let’s go together. Fine, but first “Gusto Cat food has to go home and shower. Ok, then, it’s all settled. At least she will have protection for today, it seems. Maybe Augusto will get his gun while he is at home.
Ed. —Kenia is playing Augusto, but why? It cannot be his peerless good looks. He has a great house but no money. I continue to be puzzled by her motives. Furthermore, Kenia is a bright enough girl to realize that Carmina is a Toxic Tia (not the first one we have seen in a telenovela). She didn’t kill her sister but she rejoiced at her sister’s death and last night she told he lover that Yo-gusto Cat food was the love of her life. If she believes that is true, she might actually become deadly if moved by jealousy. WATCH OUT KENIA! But, I digress…
The Cheque, Yes, the Cheque
Over at the Blue Love Shack, Ingrid is in a big hurry to get to, you guessed it, the only Bank in Merida. She is now in possession of Kenia’s bank statements (In Ingrid’s name, as I recall) and she wants to get everything sorted so that the money is ALL HERS AGAIN—almost but not quite rubbing her hands together with glee. Gabino thinks she is a bit, well, intense, but Ingrid knows her offspring, after all, she trained the little grifter ™ (Thanks, Sylvia) well. Kenia escaped last night and, even with a head injury, she is probably already trying to get the account changed so Ingrid cannot touch it. Ah Ingrid, you have a mother’s intuition after all.
Gabino doubts Ingrid’s motherly instincts and suggests that she cares more for D-I-N-E-R-O than for her only offspring but Ingrid turns the comment neatly by questioning Gabino’s morality. Verily, your recapper thinks, these are two peas in a pod.
Ingrid promises to be discreet while going to the bank by herself. Then she puts on Estefania’s pearl and diamond necklace (gift of Gabino courtesy of Carmina who stole it from Stef’s jewel box after she died) to go to the bank in the middle of the morning and heads out to recover her ill-gotten gains.
Meanwhile, just as her mother suspected, wily Kenia is on the phone with the bank. She wants to cancel all the documents. No, she doesn’t have the account numbers. The clerk should look them up! When the clerk won’t do that, Kenia announces she will come to the bank this very day and withdraw all her money.
Trouble brewing.
Where O Where Is Don Yo-gusto Cat food
Over at Casa Castañon this beautiful Yucatan morning, Carmina is hobbling around looking pitiful and she has RELATIVELY little makeup on. I think she wants folks to feel sorry for her. This is not even a remote possibility since, once again, last night Viewerville observed Carmina mussing up the sheets with Pitiful Paolo. Note to Carmina: Pitiful looks better on Paolo the incipient rapist than on you, m’dear. You just keep working the crazy. You have me convinced, for sure.
Anyway, sob, Carmina, tells anyone who will listen—read Elisa, Lolita and us—that ‘Gusto Cat food DID NOT COME HOME LAST NIGHT! O the drama, Carmina.
Well, as someone pointed out in yesterday’s comments, why not look at the Cantina. It seems he has spent many a night at his Local, drunk off his butt and unable to point his horsie home. But Carmina is going for the sympathy vote, when in walks “Gusto Cat food himself, looking like the cat who just ate the canary.
“Where were you, or at least tell me who you were with?” cries a should-be squirming-with-guilt Carmina? Elisa can’t help but be co-dependent and remark that she and her Aunt were really worried. Yo-gusto Cat food ‘fesses up, or at least seems to. “I was with someone who needed me. Edmundo Tovar. He is breaking up with Begone-ya and needed a friend.” Well, now this is quite a situation. ‘Gusto Cat food confesses to Carmina, his wife, that he stayed out all night getting drunk with her ex-lover. Meanwhile, Carmina was having sex with Paolo, the man whom her husband is trying to force to marry his daughter and Carmina’s niece Elisa. Now, THAT’S melodramatic.
As ‘Gusto Cat food walks off with his nose in the air to take a bath and get ready to meet Kenia, to go to the bank, with whom he really spent the night (innocently) Carmina muses that he might be lying. Elisa rushes to defend her father by saying, “My father is not a liar, not like you, Aunt”. Hmm, seems everybody in this scene was half right.
Mama Lolita Protects Her Niña Elisa
Over at Casa Arango, Lolita has come to visit Damian. When ‘Tonia answers the front door she gives Lolita some sass, telling her to come around to the kitchen, but Damian interrupts them and politely tells ‘Tonia to take Delores to the sala. Lolita, however, has come to have words with Damian, and she isn’t interested in sitting in the living room drinking coffee.
She stands right there in the hall and tells Damian she is not supportive of him being in a relationship with Elisa. He was gone for a long time and Elisa suffered much because of the townspeople. Now she has to suffer because of him! He tries to get a word or two in edgewise, but she isn’t having it.
“You don’t have to explain anything, Damian. I love Elisa like she is my only child. No one will do her harm.”
On the way out she runs into Horacio, who offers to carry her milk in the market today. He thinks she might still be mad at him. She says she is not mad at him or anybody (liar) but has to get on with her day. Fine, then, he will accompany her. No, she doesn’t need his help. This goes on for a while back and forth. He mentions that he has been thinking that she might someday be his girlfriend.
She does not agree with this, but allows her to accompany her to the market. I am sorry viewers. I hate this pairing. Lolita is a fab character and Elisa’s stalwart defender and the writers are going to pair her with an arsonist and murderer, however handsome and repentant? Blech, as Sylvia would say.
Now we are treated to a comedy of manners courtesy of Gael and Padre Lupe. They are in front of Kenia’s house and she is not home. Undaunted, Lupe decides to wait and sits himself down on the sidewalk and wait for her. Meanwhile he blesses the passersby with a “Good afternoon, children. Go with God.” Gael complains bitterly that they are making themselves conspicuous by sitting on the curb in front of La Casa Rosa de Kenia. Gael tells him that Kenia said that Ingrid does not have good intentions toward him. “All the more reason to talk with Kenia, my son,” says Padre.
This is a delightful scene in which Loopy Lupe is using the situation to distract Gael from the seriousness and painfulness of the situation with his erstwhile mother and sister. Finally, as they give up and leave, Padre pushes his luck trying to get Gael to go over to the procesadora to clear things up with Damian. This is an utterly delightful scene.
Elisa Is Depressed and Now So Is Paloma
Paloma comes into Elisa’s room where Elisa is still depressed and in bed. She tells Elisa that she is going to continue working for Dr. Tovar and then asks Elisa what is wrong. “Again you cry.” “Damian y yo ya no somos novios.” Whaaaat? Asks Paloma. “Because I am not going to be with a man who lacks confidence in me.” Right on sister. “Damian is an asshat lout.”
“Last night I was looking for Gael…” “Why were you looking for Gael?” asks Paloma? “Don’t you know? Gael says he is leaving La Ermita for EVER!” Seriously, Elisa, you could have broken that to your best friend a little more gently.
Over at La Procesadora
Gael is looking for Ingrid and runs into Gabino. Gabino says she has not reported to work for a couple of days. Gael says he WISHED that Gabino would have known more about Ingrid’s whereabouts, given that Gabino and Ingrid are such good friends and all. The air is thick with Gael’s sarcasm but Gabino plays dumb, which can’t be easy for him, because dumb he ain’t.
Gabino comes in and yells at and tries to menace Braulio. It is not working. Braulio reports that he now takes his orders directly form Señor Damian Arango. Have a nice day, Gabino.
Later Gabino hunts down young Vicente in the procesadora yard and offers the 16-year-old barely literate (if his teachers are to be believed) juvenile delinquent a job as his personal assistant in the absence of Ingrid. WTH???
Braulio confronts Vicente about this—what is Gabino thinking offering his son such a job? Vicente says that Gabino sees his potential, unlike Braulio. If Braulio keeps him from taking this job, Vicente will never forgive his father!
Father Lupe Visits His Lemon Sucking Sister
Alfonsina has been sucking on lemons again. She shouldn’t do that, you know. In addition to making her have a nasty frowning expression, it is said to be bad for the enamel of the teeth. Just ask my mother.
Lupe tells his sister Alfonsina that they need to talk about Elisa Castañon. Alfie plays innocent, and not very well, I might add. Lupe accuses Alfie of poisoning Elisa’s well with Damian. Well, Alfie says she will do anything to keep that woman away from her son. “Because like it or not, brother, I am not going to let the daughter of the woman who took my husband to have my son.”
“Sister, you do not know how sad this makes me. All this hatred is not good for you. God knows it is not what I want but I predict that if you don’t change you are going to end up alone, very alone.” That sounds like an anvil set up if I have ever heard one.
Haps At The Only Bank In Merida, City With a Population Of 970,377 Souls
Augusto drops off Kenia in front of the Bank while he parks, but inside, Ingrid has the numbers all wrapped up. “Muchas gracias, Sra. Navarro,” drones a clerk, as Ingrid gets up to leave, with all her business concluded.
As she is leaving the bank she runs into Kenia entering the same modest institution, and Ingrid taunts her daughter that the money is now, once again , ALL HERS, hahahaha. Kenia reminds her that her silence has a price. “Not one more cent!” snaps an angry Ingrid. But Ingrid’s luck is about to run out, because just now, Yo-gusto Cat food is coming into the bank and clumsily runs into Ingrid.
He immediately spots Estefania’s necklace! “Where did you get that?”, he asks. “It was a gift.” she answers. “I want to know how it came to be in your hands!” ‘Gusto growls.
Ingrid says the necklace came from her Mother, it was a gift but Augusto insists it was a gift he had made for his wife. A security guard breaks up an incipient and undignified tussle over the jewel and Ingrid gets away as Gusto Cat food continues to insist that the necklace seems very much like on he had made for his wife.
At Casa Castañon
Horacio walks Lolita home. He is not carrying any bags. Hmmm. After discussing the many years she has worked at CC, he asks her out on another date tomorrow. Carmina is spying on them.
Carmina tortures Lolita. “Who was the guy who walked you home?” “A friend.” I didn’t know you had friends.” Carmina you are a bitch.
“What is his name? What is his last name?” Lolita doesn’t know or won’t tell. She excuses herself.
Gael Continues His Goodbyes
Gael now says goodbye to Don Lucio. He asks Lucio to take care of his Chamaco. Lucio says sure. Gael says he repents of nothing and does not intend to come back. Then generous Lucio gives Gael the keys to his car. What a sweet man.
Gabino Is a Cranky Pants
Gabino is back at the Blue House of Shame when Ingrid comes flouncing in with her dramatic account of what happened at the bank. Gabino looks hot and mad. He tells her he has found her son. His name is Gael. “What makes you think Gael is my son?” Ingrid replies.
The air is thick with sarcasm as Gabino starts in, “Because CURIOUSLY, I remember he was with Father Lupe at the Hotel. CURIOUSLY, when he came looking for me at the Procesadora today he said that Kenia is like his sister. Very CURIOUS, no?” Ingrid doesn’t want to say anything.
“Why can’t you tell me the truth?”, Gabino implores Ingrid. (You see, bad guys have relationship problems, too. Think Tony Soprano…) I think you knew Gael was your son all along.” Our Ingrid folds and says yes, Gael is her son and Rosendo is his father. Gabino is muy impactada.
Ingrid points out that she had plans for her son—as an Arango. Does Gabino understand? But he hates her. (Now there is a surprise!)
She did not want to confess all to Gabino. Anyway, why should she trust him? When he is a thief! Now, she really has Gabino’s goat. I mean, arson, murder, misery yes, but thievery??? Never, says Gabino. Have we finally hit Gabino’s code of honor?
Don ‘Gusto Cat food Remembers
Back at home, ‘Gusto remembers giving Estefania the necklace. She loved it—it was the most beautiful jewel she had ever seen. He had it made especially for her. I love yous all around. Now he tosses Stef’s room looking for the jewels. Carmina’s comes in. Why are you looking for her jewels after all this time, asks the tiny brown spider? Augusto relates the haps at the bank. “Who was this woman?” asks Carmina. Cat food-to-me says “I don’t know, I have never seen her before. She was very beautiful and I am sure the jewel is the same.”
Ingrid Wins Every War Of Words
Ingrid starts in, “So this guy at the bank had the jewel especially made for his wife and he was sure that this was it!” (Hello, if it was custom, wouldn’t it be engraved or personalized). Ok, Ok, Gabino admits he got the pearls for doing a favor for Don Augusto Castañon’s wife. Ah ha! Gabino neglects to say WHICH wife, I might add. “And she died with Rosendo in the car accident”. Ingrid jumps to the wrong conclusion. For some reason that I do not understand, Gabino is protecting Carmina. Maybe he just doesn’t trust Ingrid. Duh. The plot thickens!
Some Other Plot Points
· Kenia finds a letter waiting for her at her house.
· Elisa is still depressed over her breakup with Damian.
· Lolita lights Ramona’s pink love candle.
· Gael and the Padre talk more about Ingrid and Kenia. Padre asks Gael to forgive his mother and sister.
· Damian, Vicente and Braulio hide and watch as Carmina gets in a cab and leaves Elisa alone at home. Damian needs to talk with Elisa.
But Just As Gael Is Leaving La Ermita
Paloma flies up to say to Gael” Were you going to leave without saying goodbye to me?”
So wrapping things up in La Ermita for the night, which one of this miserably married couple do you see as the greatest hypocrite:
1. Carmina
2. “Gusto Cat food-To-Me
3.
Cast your vote now, over on Caray, Caray!
Avances

Una Familia Con Suerte #261-262 Tue 5/22/12 revenge of the Amazon Barbie
Yes folks, we've reached the penultimo of the ultimos capitulos, and things are getting real.
The curtains rise on Tomas fruitlessly searching Violeta's place for the poison, but finding only a safe full of wadded-up and crumpled bills. Bitter words fly between the two.
Meanwhile, Pancho is busily turning the other cheek and attempting to offer his assistance to a be-frazzled Vins. His outfit is rumpled, he needs a shave, and he's pounding down his "mi whiskis" like there's no tomorrow. Pancho chides the man for hiding in alcohol, and Vins, who looks like a total train-wreck, protests that this way he still retains a shred of dignity. Sorry bro, that ship has sailed. As if *trying* to separate himself from that last shard of dignity, Vins goes on to blame everything that has gone wrong since the novela started on Fernanda and Pancho. If *he'd* been president, he would still be happily married to Pina (as if), and everything would've been just peachy. Pancho says there's still time to change. Vins smashes his whiski glass in anger (the first of several, this episode), Pancho exits, and Vins wonders aloud whether Pancho had a point.
Pina is gushing to Arnie about all the luscious foreign fabrics that she will include in her wedding (it's like nobody, not even the writers, believes he's straight) when Raymondo appears, begging a word with his beloved Mr. Flowers. He admits to giving Arnold all those gifts and kisses him on the cheek. Arnie looks shocked, and that's all we get on this subplot for today. My mom made a good point, that usually the last day of a novela has lots of weddings, but most of the characters are married already. Maybe Arnie and Raymondo will tie the knot tomorrow and beef up the wedding count...
Monica and Pepe go to Chela and Rebe, respectively. Both are spilling the beans about Moni's pregnancy, but Monica is teary-eyed and Pepe is ecstatic! Apparently, Monica is thinking about an abortion, and both conversations revolve around this reality. Both women are holding babies, which I thought was a funny counterpoint to the abortion discussion. Rebe says that Pepe shouldn't tell his girl what to do, but rather support her in everything.
Pancho takes his Vins worries to Pancho, and she is rather horrified to hear that her ex would rather die than see her marry Sebastian.
Fred and Ana are enjoying their honeymoon (I guess they got over that whole I-only-got-close-to-you-to-find-evidence-your-dad-is-a-criminal thing pretty quickly), but Pancho calls to tell Fred what bad shape Vice is in and ask him to come back and talk to him. Then Pancho goes to the convent to see if he can talk Candi out of the whole nun thing (Candi: "I had to come here to get peace and think and relax and sort out my life." Pancho: "couldn't you do that in Hawaii?"). Failing that, he tells her what bad shape her ex is in and begs her to come try to redeem him somehow. She gets permission to leave the convent to go help the family (Sister superior is kind of funny - "so.... you will leave the nunnery to go to the guy who made you so miserable you came here? really?"). Fred tries to get his Dad (who is muttering about the Lopez and their "labyrinth of mediocrity") to at least stop drinking and let him help. Vins is spiteful and tells him he *was* his father but no longer. Fred doesn't give up, works up some tears, and tells vins that he used to be his idol. We'll fight together, pops. They are going to go to rehab in the morning, I think. Most of the Lopez kids come up to gawp at Monica and cheer about the baby on the way (she decided against the abortion). I see that Temo has FINALLY combed his hair. Enzo gets a little wacko/manic when he hears about the baby. Maybe he's getting crazier because Chela won't sleep with him. Meanwhile (sorry for the repetition, but what better word is there for a novela transition?), Violeta's evil-voice-in-her-head is getting a little more insistent, and it congratulates her for her plan to hurt Tomas' wife. For his part, Tomas is with the cops and the body of Violeta's latest victim, who I think is the hapless dude who told crazy Amazon barbie where to find Lupita. Then there is a really weird scene with Chacho, who appears to have won a blue car. Pancho is happy for him, there's some awkwardness about witnesses and signing for the car, and then Chacho honks and drives off into the sunset. Talk about random, yeah?
Pancho drops Lupita off at la guarderia, but sees Violeta going after her. Pancho leaps into action, running out and sending everyone away so he can have a little confrontation with crazy-babe. For her part, she struggles with her inner eviler-self (who wants to kill Pancho) and satisfies herself with merely threatening him and storming off. Tomas shows up with some cops to console Lupita. They kiss, and Pancho covers his eyes.
The next morning, Vins sees Pina's engagement announcement in the paper, smashes another whiski glass, and sets off to do something bad.
Pina borrows Sebastian's Avon car for her ride home (I wonder if a manly-man like Sebastian was embarrassed about driving a car with a huge cosmetics logo on the hood?). Thinking it's Sebastian in the car, an already-drunk Vins gives chase! Neither of them is driving particularly safely; she's texting and he's smashed. He rams her off the road and her car tumbles down the hill, lands upside-down, and bursts into flames (well, a little bit of flames)!!!!!
Pina survives (and even crawls out of the car), but she's a mess. The makeup team did a doozy of a job here, with blood all over her face and goozing out of her mouth. There's a quick cut to Vins' car at the top of the hill, and then Pina's car *really* explodes. There's some needless suspense here drawn out over a commercial break, but what happened is that Vins realized what he'd done, dragged her clear of the wreck (I laughed when he saw her, oozing blood and battered, and asked "are you ok?"), bawled over her for a bit, and then called the ambulance.
Fred and Candi both arrive at Vins' house to save him from himself (on Pancho's urging), to find it empty. They see the shattered glass and the newspaper open to the engagement page and rush off to get Pancho. They all pile into La Burra and head off in search of Pina. They find a morose Vins and yell at him. Fred is the maddest, but Vins just tells him he's not worth the waste of his son's time. Fred tells his Dad that he will never ever ever forgive him for this. The gang (except Vins) head off for some more hospital scenes.
Pina is clearly getting tired of people asking her if she's ok. When Ana asks, Pina says sarcastically "supers bien." Glad she kept her sense of humor.
At his place, Pepe finds a mysterious note from Moni, explaining that she's left to do something important for her family. In fact, she has gone to barbie's den, to tell her to leave everyone alone. It's funny, because Monica doesn't even come up to her Amazon mom's shoulder. She doesn't have much luck with the "please leave me alone" gambit, and her mom just says that she's sick of all those nacos, so Monica pulls the pregnancy card. She doesn't get good results. Violeta tells her she should abort it, just like Violeta had tried to do to Monica. "I didn't want you, and I don't want a grandson." But Monica doesn't lose it until her mom insults Enzo. Then she slaps her mom, who seems to smack her with a wine glass. Great chat, mom! Pancho and Enzo arrive and are, in turn, insulted: "vulgarcitos." Monica lets them know that Violeta has already admitted to two murders. Pancho: "who else?" After they leave, her evil voice says "they'll all die." Does she even have enough poison?
One of the gags of this episode is that, whenever someone sees Candi in a habit, they freak out and ask REALLY? Ana now tries to talk her aunt out of it, to no avail.
Pina, on her hospital bed, admits to Fred that she has some regrets. She tells her son how proud she is of him for staying strong even when he disagreed with her (like with Ana, and when he sticks up for his dad).
Speaking of the man who put the VICE in Vicente, he's in baaaad shape. He's swilling cheap tequila and swerving back and forth in his Mercedes. He stops the car in the middle of the door, exits, and stumbles to a halt in some random neighborhood. He slumps against a concrete wall and starts shivering. A dog trots up and--get this--he hugs it! Some dude walking by sees the drunk hugging a dog and drops a coin by Vins' feet. Pathetic.
At the hospital, Pina is back on her feet. She sure has bounced back fast, given how recently she was oozing pints of blood out of her mouth alone. Pancho: You look great... ready for the triathlon? Pina: more like a bubble bath.
Tomas, on the line with interpol, has discovered that the poison is - duh duh DUH!- French. His counterparts across the pond will begin searching for the person who made it.
Meanwhile (there it is again), Violeta is scheming. She delivers the final words of the episode: Tonight will be *unforgettable*!
The curtains rise on Tomas fruitlessly searching Violeta's place for the poison, but finding only a safe full of wadded-up and crumpled bills. Bitter words fly between the two.
Meanwhile, Pancho is busily turning the other cheek and attempting to offer his assistance to a be-frazzled Vins. His outfit is rumpled, he needs a shave, and he's pounding down his "mi whiskis" like there's no tomorrow. Pancho chides the man for hiding in alcohol, and Vins, who looks like a total train-wreck, protests that this way he still retains a shred of dignity. Sorry bro, that ship has sailed. As if *trying* to separate himself from that last shard of dignity, Vins goes on to blame everything that has gone wrong since the novela started on Fernanda and Pancho. If *he'd* been president, he would still be happily married to Pina (as if), and everything would've been just peachy. Pancho says there's still time to change. Vins smashes his whiski glass in anger (the first of several, this episode), Pancho exits, and Vins wonders aloud whether Pancho had a point.
Pina is gushing to Arnie about all the luscious foreign fabrics that she will include in her wedding (it's like nobody, not even the writers, believes he's straight) when Raymondo appears, begging a word with his beloved Mr. Flowers. He admits to giving Arnold all those gifts and kisses him on the cheek. Arnie looks shocked, and that's all we get on this subplot for today. My mom made a good point, that usually the last day of a novela has lots of weddings, but most of the characters are married already. Maybe Arnie and Raymondo will tie the knot tomorrow and beef up the wedding count...
Monica and Pepe go to Chela and Rebe, respectively. Both are spilling the beans about Moni's pregnancy, but Monica is teary-eyed and Pepe is ecstatic! Apparently, Monica is thinking about an abortion, and both conversations revolve around this reality. Both women are holding babies, which I thought was a funny counterpoint to the abortion discussion. Rebe says that Pepe shouldn't tell his girl what to do, but rather support her in everything.
Pancho takes his Vins worries to Pancho, and she is rather horrified to hear that her ex would rather die than see her marry Sebastian.
Fred and Ana are enjoying their honeymoon (I guess they got over that whole I-only-got-close-to-you-to-find-evidence-your-dad-is-a-criminal thing pretty quickly), but Pancho calls to tell Fred what bad shape Vice is in and ask him to come back and talk to him. Then Pancho goes to the convent to see if he can talk Candi out of the whole nun thing (Candi: "I had to come here to get peace and think and relax and sort out my life." Pancho: "couldn't you do that in Hawaii?"). Failing that, he tells her what bad shape her ex is in and begs her to come try to redeem him somehow. She gets permission to leave the convent to go help the family (Sister superior is kind of funny - "so.... you will leave the nunnery to go to the guy who made you so miserable you came here? really?"). Fred tries to get his Dad (who is muttering about the Lopez and their "labyrinth of mediocrity") to at least stop drinking and let him help. Vins is spiteful and tells him he *was* his father but no longer. Fred doesn't give up, works up some tears, and tells vins that he used to be his idol. We'll fight together, pops. They are going to go to rehab in the morning, I think. Most of the Lopez kids come up to gawp at Monica and cheer about the baby on the way (she decided against the abortion). I see that Temo has FINALLY combed his hair. Enzo gets a little wacko/manic when he hears about the baby. Maybe he's getting crazier because Chela won't sleep with him. Meanwhile (sorry for the repetition, but what better word is there for a novela transition?), Violeta's evil-voice-in-her-head is getting a little more insistent, and it congratulates her for her plan to hurt Tomas' wife. For his part, Tomas is with the cops and the body of Violeta's latest victim, who I think is the hapless dude who told crazy Amazon barbie where to find Lupita. Then there is a really weird scene with Chacho, who appears to have won a blue car. Pancho is happy for him, there's some awkwardness about witnesses and signing for the car, and then Chacho honks and drives off into the sunset. Talk about random, yeah?
Pancho drops Lupita off at la guarderia, but sees Violeta going after her. Pancho leaps into action, running out and sending everyone away so he can have a little confrontation with crazy-babe. For her part, she struggles with her inner eviler-self (who wants to kill Pancho) and satisfies herself with merely threatening him and storming off. Tomas shows up with some cops to console Lupita. They kiss, and Pancho covers his eyes.
The next morning, Vins sees Pina's engagement announcement in the paper, smashes another whiski glass, and sets off to do something bad.
Pina borrows Sebastian's Avon car for her ride home (I wonder if a manly-man like Sebastian was embarrassed about driving a car with a huge cosmetics logo on the hood?). Thinking it's Sebastian in the car, an already-drunk Vins gives chase! Neither of them is driving particularly safely; she's texting and he's smashed. He rams her off the road and her car tumbles down the hill, lands upside-down, and bursts into flames (well, a little bit of flames)!!!!!
Pina survives (and even crawls out of the car), but she's a mess. The makeup team did a doozy of a job here, with blood all over her face and goozing out of her mouth. There's a quick cut to Vins' car at the top of the hill, and then Pina's car *really* explodes. There's some needless suspense here drawn out over a commercial break, but what happened is that Vins realized what he'd done, dragged her clear of the wreck (I laughed when he saw her, oozing blood and battered, and asked "are you ok?"), bawled over her for a bit, and then called the ambulance.
Fred and Candi both arrive at Vins' house to save him from himself (on Pancho's urging), to find it empty. They see the shattered glass and the newspaper open to the engagement page and rush off to get Pancho. They all pile into La Burra and head off in search of Pina. They find a morose Vins and yell at him. Fred is the maddest, but Vins just tells him he's not worth the waste of his son's time. Fred tells his Dad that he will never ever ever forgive him for this. The gang (except Vins) head off for some more hospital scenes.
Pina is clearly getting tired of people asking her if she's ok. When Ana asks, Pina says sarcastically "supers bien." Glad she kept her sense of humor.
At his place, Pepe finds a mysterious note from Moni, explaining that she's left to do something important for her family. In fact, she has gone to barbie's den, to tell her to leave everyone alone. It's funny, because Monica doesn't even come up to her Amazon mom's shoulder. She doesn't have much luck with the "please leave me alone" gambit, and her mom just says that she's sick of all those nacos, so Monica pulls the pregnancy card. She doesn't get good results. Violeta tells her she should abort it, just like Violeta had tried to do to Monica. "I didn't want you, and I don't want a grandson." But Monica doesn't lose it until her mom insults Enzo. Then she slaps her mom, who seems to smack her with a wine glass. Great chat, mom! Pancho and Enzo arrive and are, in turn, insulted: "vulgarcitos." Monica lets them know that Violeta has already admitted to two murders. Pancho: "who else?" After they leave, her evil voice says "they'll all die." Does she even have enough poison?
One of the gags of this episode is that, whenever someone sees Candi in a habit, they freak out and ask REALLY? Ana now tries to talk her aunt out of it, to no avail.
Pina, on her hospital bed, admits to Fred that she has some regrets. She tells her son how proud she is of him for staying strong even when he disagreed with her (like with Ana, and when he sticks up for his dad).
Speaking of the man who put the VICE in Vicente, he's in baaaad shape. He's swilling cheap tequila and swerving back and forth in his Mercedes. He stops the car in the middle of the door, exits, and stumbles to a halt in some random neighborhood. He slumps against a concrete wall and starts shivering. A dog trots up and--get this--he hugs it! Some dude walking by sees the drunk hugging a dog and drops a coin by Vins' feet. Pathetic.
At the hospital, Pina is back on her feet. She sure has bounced back fast, given how recently she was oozing pints of blood out of her mouth alone. Pancho: You look great... ready for the triathlon? Pina: more like a bubble bath.
Tomas, on the line with interpol, has discovered that the poison is - duh duh DUH!- French. His counterparts across the pond will begin searching for the person who made it.
Meanwhile (there it is again), Violeta is scheming. She delivers the final words of the episode: Tonight will be *unforgettable*!

El Talismán #80 Tue 5/22/12 HOLA CHULA
“Hola Chula” says Antonio upon answering Camila's call. Already I can't stand where this is going so I end up counting the comb marks in his brylcreamed hair. Camila promises to marry him. He tells her “Congratulations”, then to himself “I told you that you would be mine”.
Mariana and Margarito are eating soup prepared by
Donatila. They are “mmmm”ing it to the
heavens. Did anyone catch what kind of
soup it was? Donatila's Tomatillo? Margarito spoils the meal by asking if
Mariana is there to see Pig. Poor
Mariana dang near chokes on an avocado pit before answering that no, she's not
ready for that yet.
Mariana and Margarito are joined by Sarita and walk through
the grounds at El Tal. They talk about
how beautiful it is and hope it helps restore M's memory. Pancho comes up and they introduce him to
Mariana. Suddenly Mariana gets an “I See
Dead People” look and wants to explore further down the property.
Rita, Rennie and Dr. Doh-mo are talking about Elvira being an
asesina saying that if she did try to roast
Pig it would have been for his bacon.
As proof that not all props are
created equal, Gabe comes up carrying a huge door. He's helping Pedro with some project, but
gets a little testy after hearing that same old marriage lecture getting
crammed down his throat. Gabe is tired
of everyone pressuring him. After that
huff, the guys do end up having a nice chat about love, Lucrecia, Santiago and
the meaning of life. This is followed by a rest break in which they are sipping
something in teeny tiny cups. What is
that? Soy sauce? Dairy creamer? Sacrament water? Fluoride rinse?
Angel is talking to Elvira. She is hyper-ventilating. Armando comes in
and rightfully rags at his mom that Camila has decided to sacrifice herself and
marry Antonio. Elvira's response: Then I won't have to go to la carcel?
Antonio's fake policia are still
at the door. Camila tries to calm her
mom down. Elvira emerges to face the music as Antonio calls Dr. Doh-mo, who in
turn calls the policia to end the threats.
All hear the radio call that this has all been a mistake. The policia leave. The kids are mad at her, but jocularity still
ensues as Elvira is elated and giggling.
When Dr. Doh-mo hung up from
Antonio, he told Renato that Antonio is crazy.
Lol. He need look no further than
the man in the yachting clothes and his pantsless “sobrina” / amante to stare
crazy in the face.
Pig is pulling branches and
plastic wrap off a tombstone. (Okay, I
am now 2 for 2 in recaps with tombstone scenes.) He drops a rose on the
stone. It reads “Para Mi Amor de Mi
Vida” “Matilde” . Pig starts in on what trouble Matilde's
daughter has caused him. He should have
killed Mariana so she could be with her mom.
She's not a good person. Just
like her dad. Pancho interrupts telling
Pig to hurry and hide, here comes Mariana!
Padre is at the court house
talking to the social worker about the orphanage and Santiago. Santiago will be the first kid at the
orphanage, and the social worker is encouraging Padre to adopt him. QTF?
As he is leaving, our sway-backed
Padre collides belly-button to private part with Lucrecia who is disguised as
Cher. Good thing Padre doesn't have an
“outie”. He does not recognize
her...yet. As if we wouldn't all
recognize that cute butt of hers in those same painted on black pants.
Lu asks the desk clerk about
Pedro. She is shocked to hear he has
been released.
El Capitan is telling a guy (the
investigator?), I don't know his name, we'll just call him “my next boyfriend”,
that he wants surveillance set up at El Tal.
He is worried for Pedro's safety and knows the Negrete's are threats.
The kids are now letting Elvira
have it for being so selfish and not caring about them. Armando is so frustrated saying “and with
Fabi going to Canada today what more could happen?”. I'll tell you what more
could happen... Antonio could be at the door.
Camila answers and we get another “Hola Chula”. He starts in with his threats, she says she
hates him, he slips a ring on her finger, tries to kiss her hand, which she
pulls away and the doorbell rings again.
This time it is Pedro. Elvira
blurts out “Camila is engaged”, Antonio says “we're getting married tomorrow”
and Pedro has an incredulous look on his face. He says this is an absurd
situation.
Pedro tries to get Camila to talk
to him.
Pedro:
Were we a mistake?
Antonio:
Hey, if my woman called you, it was cuz she's honest and wanted to tell
you in person
Camila:
Yes, that's why I called you.
Pedro has a look like he's
waiting for everyone to shout “April Fools” or “Punked”. He says I'm not leaving til Camila tells me
to. Tell me what's going on? Don't I deserve that? Face it, Pedro, you are in a game of
rhetorical fisticuffs with yourself.
Antonio is sneering and Bump on the Log Camila is standing there
emotionally flaccid. Finally Camila asks
permission from Antonio to speak with Pedro.
Mariana presses on going deeper
into El Tal property. She is drawn to
this area although it gives her the shivers.
She finds the grave. “Quien fue
Matilde”? That was your mother, but
she's buried at Fresno Cemetary. I'm not
sure who put this gravestone here.
Mariana smells the rose while Pig and Piglet spy.
The primos are in a cafe. Did you see the sandwiches in that
place? These boys sure do know how to
nosh. I want an Armando / Angel
sandwich. Not the sexual kind, mind you. Especially with Armando in the mix. Angel has an idea. They know Antonio has evidence against
Elvira. If they can find out what it is,
they can steal it. Good idea! seconds
Armando.
Back at El Tal, sipping tea,
Mariana, Doma and Sarita are talking about the grave and move on to
specualtions about what's up with Camila.
Sarita follows Mariana out to her car when she leaves and asks “A ti te
gusta Pedro?” Mariana says he's guapo,
but not the man for me.
Lurker Lu peeks out from behind
the bushes, overhears this and rages back to her hideout.
Maria and Manuel are in the
office talking about Elvira. They share
a sweet kiss. They look like a snowman
and snow woman kissing in their white medical coats. (You do know how to tell the snow man from
the snow lady, right? By the snowballs.)
Incidentals:
-The social worker tells Santiago
they'll look for his mom in Mexico.
-F2 whines that she is miserable
and it's all Camila's fault
-Padre gets on Gabe's case about
living in sin
Avances: Wedding preparations and Camila tells Mariana
that she has to marry Antonio.

Una Familia Con Suerte #259-260 Mon 5/21/12 Truth or Dare, Once More With Feeling
We pick up back at the disco club celebration of Ana and
Freddy’s wedding. Freddy hugs
Violeta who is promising as his father’s new girlfriend to get to know him much
better really soon. Tomas gets the
flash of memory that Violate-a looks just like the drawing they have been shopping
around at la policia central.
Violate-a approaches an unfriendly Pepi and Moni while Vice approaches
Ana looking most ridiculous in her bubblebutt dress. Tomas brings Lupita up to date that Violate-a looks totally
like the tall beauty thought to have killed the young hacker.
Moni blows off Mommy Violate-a assuring her that José is the
dearest person in her life and Mommy can take a flying leap if she thinks Moni
will leave him. Viol plays the
sweet mommy tune to no effect.
Enzo, who usually dances better than anyone else, does a
strange dance/arguing dance with Chela about Vice’s awfulness. In a bad editing job, Ana dances with
her father in her original wedding gown with the slanted, too short front and
the draping long back. Nothing is
making sense. Vice can’t get
Freddy to lead his wild life with him so they hug and Vice disappears from the
disco floor. Tomas gets Lupita to
guard the women’s bathroom door while he goes in to question tall elegant
Violente-a. He accuses her of the
disappearance or assassination of 17-year old David the hacker. (So we learn that he isn’t just 13 like
we suspected.) Violate-a makes
more threats to Tomas, your days are counted she simpers as she slithers out
the door. She shoots a few more threatening
words and looks at Moni and Pepi. Then
she stops to threaten Candi and they do a most amusing breast boing, boing
replete with sound effects. Pancho
and Rebecca come to “bust up” the fight.
Pina dressed distastefully in white (supposed to be the
exclusive color of the bride, idiots) looking almost as Bjork-like as Ana. So this is costume bonding I guess??? Pina
confesses that she is glad she is with Freddy but there was a time when she and
Vicente tried to interfere with the couple to break them up. Ana and Freddy will leave in two hours
for the honeymoon divino so Pina now considers her an hija and now has a
hermoshA in her life. Ana does a
passable voice imitation of Pina as they share more laughs. Both adoring Freddy gives them so much
in common.
Back at the apartment, Viol and Vice fight out who is in
charge. He is having buyer’s
remorse or what is left of a conscience that can feel guilty. She threatens to include him in the
blame for the death of Haackeer if he doesn’t stay with her and do what she
wants. His whiskey talks so that
he doesn’t seem to care all that much. He talks of loving her or at least obeying her as though he
were ordering grilled shrimp from room service.
Pina shares with Freddy and Ana that Vice has threatened to
kill her or Seba if she dares to marry him. Pina is happy for the first time in years and Seba has given
her so much pleasure and love already.
It certainly surpasses what measly love Vice ever gave her. Pancho and Rebe come to share the goodbye
kisses and well wishes for the bridal pair. Then we get the obligatory bed of roses with a music cleg in
the middle and succulent fruits in bowls with. Ana also gets a Professional
Accordian product placed with perfection as a honeymoon night present to Ana. With any luck, we won’t have to hear her
sing the Pancho song to Freddy.
Instead we get only nice love scenes. Thank you oh mighty writing gods!
Next morning Sebastian and Pina talk about how much Pina is
missing her Hermosha Freddy so, but he distracts her asking her to come with
him for a moment.
On the beach, Ana and Freddy get to act out romance at Bahia
de Huatulcos, (Gotta write that down for a future visit.) Oh, and next comes my favorite romance
scene, the great double massage under a tree with the palms and seashore in
sight. We get beautiful moments in
any language. Ana is excited in
seeing the sea for the first time since she was little and taking her first plane
trip. After her mother died there
weren’t vacations. Freddy thinks
he is the most fortunate man in the world with the most incredible woman in his
arms.
Threatening music wafts while Violate-a reloads her poison
bearing ring. Viol gets Tomas on
the phone as he signals the office mates to pick up and listen on their
phones. She tells him she needs to
make a confession but she must do it alone with only him. Won’t he come to her
suite?
Back at Casa Lopez, Pancho does his burro laugh at Candi and
all the family laugh at the sight of Candi in Nun’s Habit. She has un-Nun but at least clear
lip-gloss and lovely, almost subtle eye makeup so looks almost authentic. Chela
and Lupita want to know why she will flee to nurse her heartbreak in a nunnery.
She is looking for peace and she
will concentrate on reflecting to find piece and forgiveness of her
errors. Rebe thinks she should just
get that Japanese treatment for relieving stress instead. Temoc has his hair combed nicely again,
I am searching for little pleasures here, believe me. To show them they are making fun of her she has the holy light
shine on her while she prays looking up toward heaven for understanding, they
are all amazed at the holy light so she repeats that she has come to say goodbye
to all of them then she will be off to the convent.
Viol holds the poison ring high while she repeats her
invitation to Tomas. Tomas calls
the Doctor Medina (resident police medical staff?) and hears again that young
David was found at autopsy with a small pin prick in his neck where the toxic
poison enter his body.
Pancho continues his lecture to Candi that they have never
had a nun or priest in the family and she will have a hard time adjusting
herself to the extreme life she is choosing so unlike the luxury she has had
lately. Candi begs him to
understand, telling him how much she loves him. There is another tearful round of good byes.
Enzo urges Vice to come to the office and do something
useful. He wants to stay alone and
stay in his pajamas. Enzo points
out that he is in a suit not his pajamas but he insists it is his pj’s. He wants to drink his whiskey which
Enzo urges him to quit. Then he
says, well it was you who hired the hacker. Yes of course, who else could have done such a magnificent
job which Pancho the greengrocer so deserved. Well then you killed the hacker? NO, NO it was Violeta. He’s not a killer.
It isn’t a far stretch for Enzo to grasp this new revelation about Viol.
Just then Tomas show up at the door of the seductress Violate-a
she holds out her hand to Tom with the poison ring pointing below as he
approaches to shake. He suddenly
pulls back and reveals his fellow officer. Viol looks slightly put out but says okay. Do the boys want anything to drink? They turn down the offer but she drinks
and they play about the ring. She
says the poison is intended for his girlfriend.
Chela and Candi say goodbye. Chela says you aren’t going to die, but Candi says her life
from before will end all the same. She thanks her for being a friend and counsel all these
years. She leaves and Chela
blesses her, the only one in the family that treats her choice with dignity.
Tomas keeps on about the strong poison that killed David and
he wants to know where she could have gotten poison like that. They seem constrained about arresting
her since she isn’t really making a confession in front of both of them. So the guys leave while Violate-a determines
she must find out whom Tomas’ girlfriend is since he is connected somehow to
Pancho like a son.
Enzo insists Vice tell him the truth. The truth is that he hired David but
Violeta got involved then killed him.
Vice doesn’t want to go to jail. He would spend so much time in jail. He asks Enzo if he will condemn him now
that he knows. NO, he won’t
because Vice helped him at a time when he was most desperate in his own life.
He wants Vice to at least give up the demon rum (er whiskey) and do the right
thing.
Back to the Bahias de Huatulco, more romping and teasing
even about he could have been there with Karina. Ana mentions that he could, since she lost her baby. Strange subjects to tease over but they
settle the matter by giggles and handsful of sand and another dip in the sea.
Candi is shown to her rather luxurious room at the convent
by the mother superior or some senior nun. Doesn’t seem likely that there will be vows of poverty here
but no TV or internet either.
Pancho is sad that Candi went off when she could have
returned to the Lopez compound.
Pancho gets a phone call that is all slang all the time. I am not even sure who it was but
nothing much was said.
Seba and Pina are in the garage with Arnold and a fancy
heart covered car is driven up.
Pina wonders if it is for her but Arnold is the recipient of this
magnanimous gift while his secret admirer, Raymundo (thanks Madelaine), hides
behind a pillar. Barb show up and
Arnold assumes she gave him the car. She assures him she did not while Raymundo suffers behind the post. Suddenly, Barb has come to say she
isn’t going to go with him any longer since she met the love of her life on her
recent trip to Miami. Pina is
staggered by the news, Raymundo feels like he isn’t going to get proper credit for sure. Arnold can’t believe the rejections
either. Sebastian gives a shrug of
disinterest. In effect, lots of
loose ends are wrapped up in this garage with some big last minute shifts in
the 5th hour from the end of this endless story add to the
atmosphere of confusion.
Arnold can’t believe he is being dropped so summarily. Why is she leaving, is this mystery man younger, handsomer,
more what! than I am? No one can
believe Barbara’s sudden turn of mind but the delicious guapetón shows up and
he looks like David Beckham. So,
even Pina says she gets it. Everyone,
and I mean everyone, except Sebastian, in the garage swoons in unison for this
handsome galan standing before them.
Pancho and Rebe talk mindlessly with twins in the mix. Meanwhile, Pina tries to get to the
bottom of the mystery of the elegant red convertible and wonders who could have
gifted Arnold. Maybe the same
person that gave him the hunky chunky chronometer on his wrist. Raymundo swoons that now he can see why so
much confusion came from his surprise present(s).
Tomas warns Lupita that she is in danger even though Vile-etta
doesn’t know for sure who she is.
They have one of their endlessly boring arguments about how afraid she
is and how much he needs to do his exciting work. She should have gone for a janitor perhaps? Ho Hum…
Mr. Jimenez shows up at Vile’s door. She offers him tequila and strokes his
lap with her sparkly high heel then soon with her bare foot almost in his mouth
saying he needs to do a job for her with Tomas. Tomas a policeman is not his cup of tea. She flashes him most seductively while
over at Enzo’s he confesses to Chela that he has had an admission from Vice. Then he adds he isn’t going to condemn
him. Chela goes postal that Vice
is getting away with murder and fraud and caused Pancho to go to jail. Enzo will tell Pancho, but not
the police. Chela and Enzo part on
bad terms. Enzo says he can’t talk
with her. Well, should she be tolerant
of his protecting Vice? Can’t we
vote on this?
Lupita arrives in Pancho’s office to update him on the Vice
– David – Viol debacle and that Tomas insists she is now in danger too. Talk about pussy-whipped! Violenta has them all twisted in their
shorts and is still wreaking havoc at liberty.
More dialog-free beach time, thank you writer gods, Freddy
and Ana make up a song to each other and enjoy the sea and love more.
Tomas explains to Pancho that Violeta probably killed David
with a strong poison only available in Europe that she could have managed to
buy while in France. So why is she
now threatening Lupita? Tomas
thinks she is crazy enough to be a deadly threat to anyone. Meanwhile Vile-etta talks with Jimenez
and he produces a picture of Lupita daughter of Pancho. Is this who you want to do in?
In the garage, Pina and Seba get into lesser cars while Vice lurks now behind the pillar
sipping from his hip flask and looking more demented than evil. Pina is in a car serviced by Pepe? I
lost a few of the details here but I don’t care.
Enzo and Pancho and Tomas compare notes that Vice is running
scared (and pretty drunk most of the time) and taking orders form Vjioleta who
has taken over the crimes scene and killed David but now intending to kill
Lupita and who knows how many more. Her motive is to get back at Pepe I guess. Maybe because she is just plain bonkers.
Meanwhile Pepe holds a puppy almost as cute as he is in the
apartment while Moni says she is
now very certain with that whine she often uses. Very certain of what?? Asks an innocent Pepe. Very certain that she is pregnant! Pepe risks a happy little grin while
Moni sounds like she is delivering disastrous news. Pepe gives her a big excited hug, but Moni says she doesn’t
know what to think. She goes off
to the bedroom in a sulk.
Pancho gets the picture and thanks Enzo for being the best
of friends who helped him, gave up his dream job and returned to Avon to help
him. Enzo feels guilty at
his split loyalties but Pancho is not at all bothered.
Violeta gives Jimenez money and seals the deal (not sure I
care exactly what he is to do to Lupita but we will find out tomorrow) when she
starts to see blurry and hear voices telling her to kill the doctor. Jimenez thinks she is sick, me too. The voices get louder and louder.
Rebes junior and senior share love and admiration for each
other with twins in arms.
Candi comes into her room with a young nun who seems
troubled. She leaves and Candi
looks a bit lost. Like I said,
there is no TV, nor internet.
Chela is playing with her baby when Enzo shows up with
flowers. Chela gives him the cold
shoulder. She can’t stand his
defending Vice when he knows how she feels about Vice and all he has done to
her family. But Enzo defends that
he has confessed all to Pancho who understands his loyalty. He delivers the rest of his message
with shoulder kisses so seductively that Chela can’t stay angry. Another passion scene. Enzo wins my vote of sexiest galan
of the whole TN. In the midst of
the pleasant seduction, Enzo begins to grasp his manly chest and grimace in
pain.
Candi finds a doll in the bed, her only companion. Her name is... You have to be strong Candelaria, she
says to herself, you have to be strong.
Chela is so scared she blames sex on Enzo’s condition. Too bad, but she quickly switches into
mothering mode.
Vicente steals into Candi’s virginal room in the night and
jumps into bed with her climbing at once under the covers. Candi doesn’t protest long then comes
out from under the sheets and realizes she was dreaming so she asks the Virgin
for forgiveness.
Pepe and Moni discuss the dilemma. This was so unplanned. Pepe thought they were being really careful but she reminds
him that the one time when he came back from his tryst with Frida they played
makeup and they weren’t careful.
She isn’t ready for the responsibility of marriage let alone of raising
a child with the burden of educating and caring for a human being. He reminds her that this baby is a
product of their love and not like what happened to Karina or others or like
her mother.
Lupe and Tomas fight over his danger and her fears, ad
nauseum.
Pepe and Moni talk aobut the surprise and burden of an
uplanned pregnancy. In fact she
remembers that her mother wanted to abort her.
Pancho leaves Rebe and Babies to face what he has to do. Rebe wishes him well.
Tomas and his partner show up at Viol’s door with a search warrant
this time to look for the poison.
Has she hidden it well?
Back we go to the beach for more kisses. Whew!
Back to the assassin’s apartment with searching going on. Tomas finds a strongbox which Violeta
looks scared to open. I am out of
breath with all the quick step changes.
Pancho shows up at Vice’s greeting his cousin and sniffing
the scents of Cheta (Violeta?)
Pancho let him know that he knows that Vice is responsible for the
hacker and fraud and sending him to jail.
Vice says so are you going to condemn me?? No, Pancho says, he has come to support him and TO FORGIVE
HIM! Ahh, Pancho may be an ass at
times but he sure comes on with the noble gestures in the clinches.
Okay, then this is where I jump off the bus, dear
friends. It has been a long and
interesting ride. Next, we have
many things to resolve in two more nights or four hours. These bastardos better not kill
Pina! I’m just saying. We would be better off with two or three
more wedding ceremonies, a few baptisms and more beach time and more luscious
food. Adios...

El Talismán #79 Mon 5/21/12 Yes, We Have No Avacadoes, We Have No Avacadoes Today!
Today on El Talsiman:
Cameela has come to El Alcatrash to tell the Beltbuckle she isn't marrying him, punto. Beltbuckle continues with the threat of sending her Gasbag, er her Mama to the carcel. She tells the Beltbuckle to go ahead and call the popos she will just have to make a call on her own and tell them about his blackmail and threats, so there take that, ya Beltbuckle! She leaves the Beltbuckle fuming, and runs into Doris. So are ya marrying the Beltbuckle or not, she asks Cameela. Cameela tells her hey sister, ain't doin' it no how, no way. She tells Doris I am marrying Mi Pedro. She tells Doris don't worry you will still be the duenna of this casa. Cameela leaves.
Pedro is thought bubbling about his wedding to Cameela and their song plays, "Dios Mio Que Mujer".
Gabe and Sarita are talking about the same old, same old. I want to marry but can't, not prepared for it, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. Sarita is getting madder by the minute, and Gabe is all talked out. Sarita is yelling at Gabe and interrupts Pedro's daydreaming. He goes in to see what the fuss is about. Sarita is saying the same old thing. She tells Pedro, Gabe won't talk to her, and Pedro tells her Gabe is very confused right now. (Note to Gabe: just tell her the same thing you've been telling her, maybe she will open her ears long enough to hear, jus' sayin'). Gabe took my advice, but it didn't work yet again. He threatens to get a job elsewhere. Sarita is so not down with that. Pedro tells her to stop pressuring Gabe. Gabe tells Sarita he truly loves her, but he isn't ready for marriage. Gabe leaves. Pedro tells Sarita, he's not marrying Cameela either. He doesn't understand, and told Mariana about it. Sarita and Pedro commiserate with each other.
Tonio is looking for Valentin. Valentin finally comes in and the Beltbuckle sends him on a misson. I didn't quite get what it was, so someone please fill in.
Tracy and Alberta are talking about Fabi leaving today. They are having a little chisme when Alberta lets slip that Cameela ain't marrying the Beltbuckle. Tracy is like, ya don't say. I have to talk to her.
Margarito and the Padre are talking about Cameela's about face, and not marrying Pedro.
Army has managed to scale the walls, so to speak, of Alcatrash again. He has come to tell Fabi adios. He tells her this is only temporary. He is finding a job, and once he has enough dinero, he will come to Canada to be with her. They swear undying love for each other, and promise each other they will be together soon.
Maria and the Gasbag, er, El Viral have come home. Maria wanted to bring El Viral back to the apartmento to get the full story why she is soooo upset. Maria tells her to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. (Note to Maria: When has that ever happened?).El Viral says it is a disaster. Maria tells her to be calm (yeah like that is ever gonna happen) and asks if this is about the kids? El Viral tells her it is about Pigorio. She tells Maria she helped Tonio try to kill Pigorio and now she is in the heap of pig droppings. Maria is shocked, I tell you shocked, to hear this. She tells Maria that unless Cameela marries Tonio she is going to the carcel! (Note to Maria: Please lock her up in the manicomio now. Don't wait, she is the Titanic crashing into the iceberg right now. There is no redemption for her.). She tells Maria that, wait for it, THE BELTBUCKLE MADE ME DO IT!!!! (Note to the Gasbag: Is this the same thing as the Devil made me do it? Cause ya know that excuse never works, jus' sayin'). Just about this time, Cameela has come back from that meeting with the Beltbuckle, and tells her Gasbag of a mama, guess what, not marrying that asshat. Cameela tells the Gasbag she will find her a lawyer tomorrow, and take it from there. (Note to Cameela: You got some guts girl, cause that gas is building, jus' sayin', and the headband is getting tighter by the millisecond). Maria tells her Gasbag of a sister to, wait for it, WOMAN up and accept responsiblity for your OWN actions!!!! (Note to Maria: You go!!! But I don't think that is working for her). The Gasbag tries to turn this on Cameela and tells her, I am going to the carcel and it's YOUR fault. Maria and Cameela are looking at her like she should have been in the Manicomio a long time ago. And on top of all her other sins, tells Cameela, well ya know, I already told Pedro you are marrying Tonio. Cameela and Maria are pithed. The Gasbag is thrusting the knife deeper and tells Cameela, that if she marries the Beltbuckle all this goes away, as if. Cameela is so not down with that. Maria says you have no conscience as far as your children go, enough already. Course the Gasbag's brain is full of gas and she storms out of the room. Army comes in and asks Cameela if she is ok? Cameela tells him Tonio threatened to go to the policia about the Gasbag. Maria tells Cameela, well she is an accomplice after all, get her a good lawyer, and above all please, call Pedro, the amor di tu vida, and explain just what the heck is going on. Cameela calls Pedro for a meet. He is confused, but will meet with her. Maria is going to work, and tells Cameela if you need anything call me. Cameela tells the Gasbag that she has called a lawyer that will meet with her in two hours.
Fake Doc/Major Domo examines Pigorio and tells him he is just fine! Well Pigorio, who is lying in the bed, isn't taking this lying down, so to speak. He tells the fake doc, then why am I feeling worse everyday? He tells fake doc he is not beleiving his so-called miraculous recovery. He asks fake doc/major domo if he has talked to Tonio. Of course he has. Pigorio then tells him, I don't like you, I want MIO DOCTOROCITO Valdez, and not you. Fake doc/major domo looks like he has swallowed several avacadoes whole, and tells Pigorio to be calm, don't upset yourself. He leaves. Doris confronts fake doc/major domo and asks how Pigorio is? He tells her he is fine. Doris doesn't beleive fake doc/major domo either. Tonio talks to the fake doc/major domo and isn't liking what he is hearing.
Lulu and the Beltbuckle are in the cabana, and Tonio tells her all about what Cameela said about going to the popos on her own and telling them what she knows of the Beltbuckle. But he tells Lulu that his planes are still at the go stage and Cameela es Mio. He tells Lulu he is siccing the police on El Viral as we speak, and that's why Cameela es Mio. Lulu laments to the Beltbuckle that this is a bad time for her to be dead. (Ya think). He keeps telling Lulu that she will have to remain dead for awhile, but he won't let her down. She'll get Pedro es Mio as soon as things settle down. She tells the Beltbuckle, Pedro is my ultimate goal. He tells her Fabi is leaving. She can't beleive it, she isn't down with that.
Fabi is packing for her trip to Canada and Doris comes in. She tells her Mama Doris that she will be better off in Canada and away from Alcatrash.
Padre, Margarito, and Pedro are together and Pedro tells them Cameela called him. He has no idea why she wants to talk to him.
There is a knock on the door and it is, wait for it, the police looking for, you guessed it, The Gasbag. They have some questions for her. Meanwhile the Gasbag has hotfooted it into the boys' room. (I guess she has no avacadoes. Her hideous pink outfit is so bright with matching headband, the police couldn't miss her, jus' sayin'). The police tell Cameela that this is very serious and they need to talk to her right away. Cameela is rolling her eyes. Meanwhile the Gasbag has run into the boys' room, and wait for it, does a slow *marmot screech* about the popos have come for her. Meanwhile at the door, Cameela tells the police that her Mama is meeting a lawyer, in like, two hours if they want to wait. And in the boys' room, the Gasbag, THAR SHE BLOWS AGAIN, for like the millionth time. She claims, wait for it, SHE WANTS TO DIE, Army and Angel are both there, trying to calm her down. She is hyperventilating and hysterical. They tell her to stop crying and that Cameela will get her a lawyer. Army decides to go join Cameela, which leaves poor Angel to cope with El Viral (Note to Angel: You are truly an Angel to put up with this crap, just fix her a huge mug of sleepytime tea and you'll finally have some peace). Meanwhile Army goes out to see what is going on, gets the scoop and rolls his eyes too. (Did you notice one of the policeman was rolling his eyes too? It was too funny). El Viral is still ranting and raving to Angel that her new home will be the CARCEL (yeah, if only. She needs to go there ASAP). And on top of that she is crying hysterically. Angel looks like he wants to hurl. The police meanwhile are still trying to convince Cameela they need to talk to the Gasbag and here is the paperwork by the way. They leave and Cameela tells Army that the Beltbuckle called the cops on mama. Cameela tells Army well I guess I will have to marry the Beltbuckle after all, to stop this crazy train. Army begs her not too. So without waiting any further, she picks up the phone and , wait for it, calls the Beltbuckle. She tells him I know you sicced the police on my sainted (just kidding) mama and are you ready for it, ya sure???? Ok, on the count of three, She will marry his asshattedness. Oh, saints perserve us, please, Oh Dios Mio, not again.
Tracy, Alberta and Fabi have gathered together to say goodbye. Fabi tells both of them she will miss them, and to please look after Flor. All three are crying and they have a big group hug. After this, Fabi goes to her room and talks to Flor. Flor is crying. She doesn't want Fabi to go, but Fabi tells her it is best and that Tracy and Alberta will always be there for her. Fabi and Flor both agree they don't want to be seperated, but this is how it is now. Flor accompanies Fabi to the foyer, and there is the Beltbuckle. They give him heck about being seperated and all he cares about is Cameela. He tells them he cares about them, but they know it is empty words. (Note to Beltbuckle: you are an asshat of the lowest grade, to give up your daughter for a woman that hates your guts, jus' sayin').
Mariana has come to El Tal and is talking to Margarito. Mariana says she wants to talk to Cameela on Pedro's behalf to find out what is going on with this Beltbuckle business. Margarito asks if she has any memory back yet? Mariana tells Margo that Manuel is trying to help her find her past, but so far she really hasn't remembered anything .
Pigorio is up out of the bed and is dressed, looking more chipper and healthier. Doris compliments him on his looks. They are talking about his pills. I think Pigorio said he has stopped taking them and is going to see his own doctor. ( I just have to say here, Pigorio is smarter than we thought. I think he knows those pills are poisoned). Doris informs Pigorio that Fabi is leaving for Canada, and Pigorio says well the Beltbuckle knows best, he loves his daughters. Doris doesn't agree. She doesn't want Fabi to go. Pigorio tells her Fabi is her daughter too. He said something else to her I didn't get. He leaves.
Padre and Pedro go to see Liliana the social worker about Santiago again. She tells Pedro, sorry not gonna happen, can't adopt him. Padre tells her that he is getting some kind of letter from Santi's mama in Mexico. She is skeptical, but says ok. But Pedro still can't adopt him. She tells Padre he has character.
Now for the best part of the recap. We have Rita and fake doc/major domo talking together. Rita wants to know what he has been up to? He tells Rita he is doing a job for the Beltbuckle. Oh, Rita is swooning, she just lurvvvves the Beltbuckle. Rennie comes in the room and tells Rita that the Beltbuckle is muy peligroso. Fake doc/major domo tells Rennie that the Beltbuckle has taken El Viral in hand. Rennie is like say what? Rita and Rennie want the chisme like yesterday. So fake doc/major domo tells them that, wait for it, El Viral is a killer! Rennie can't beleive it, but Rita is sooo down with that. Fake doc/ major domo tells them that is what Tonio told him. Rennie's wheels in his brains start turning and he says so, just a better grounds for divorce. (Yeah ok Rennie, you go with that, until the anvil comes to bite you too).

Pedro confronts Cameela and Tonio at Alcatrash!

Abismo de pasión #51 5/21/12: Trysting the Night Away
Alternate Titles:
Fools Rush In
You Go To My Head (And I Drop Like a Ton of Lead)
Wait a Minute Mr. Gross Man
I did a little combining of scenes to avoid a long list of bullets. I hope it's not too confusing.- Fina's dear fiend [sic] Begonia tells some stupid story about the day Assgusto dragged Elisa to the health center. According to Be Gone Ya, Doc came home depressed/down (apesadumbrado-sad;glum) that day because Elisa had begged Doc Whipped to tell her dad she was a virgin and together they hid the fact that Elisa was sleeping around. Fina even suggests that Elisa was running around with Gael. Dam declares he doesn't have time for their cheap gossip and leaves. After he's gone Fina declares that though he might not have fallen for the story, the seeds of doubt have been sown. Hags.
- Carmina visits Paolo in a ridiculous disguise. They talk about Paolo now having to marry Elisa. He's not to keen on the idea. Carmina says it's important that Damian believe the bunk and that Elisa is lying to him. Later they get slobbery and smoochy. I swear Carmina sucked on his knees. After they do the deed they yammer. Paolo, poor sap, he really sounds sincere as he declares his love for Carmina. Carmina claims Assgusto is the love of her life and kindly asks Paolo not to mention him again. Sometimes Paolo thinks hurting Elisa is more important to Carmina than their relationship (Paolo and Carmina). Ya think? He wonders what she thought of the letter. They get slobbery and loud smoochy again.
- Dam goes to look for Elisa and finds out she's looking for Gael. He goes to look for her. Meanwhile, Elisa talks with Gael. He's leaving 'cause he doesn't want to see her and Dam together. Elisa says his departure will hurt her and hurt Paloma even more. Gael is sure Paloma will find the right guy. Before he leaves he wants to kiss the woman he loves. GRAB! SMOOCH! (weird music reminiscent of the Exorcist? QTH?) Of course, Dam walks in and he.is.pithed. He yells at Elisa. Dam doesn't know what to think. There are rumors all over town and she should clear things up for him. She goes OFF on the both of them. She tells Dam he can think whatever the heck he wants about her, the simple fact that he doubts her means she doesn't want to see him anymore. Then she tells Gael it's a good thing he's leaving 'cause she doesn't want to see him again either. After she leaves the boys manhandle each other until Padre Lupe reminds them they are in a house of God. Gael runs out after Elisa. Gael lines, Elisa lines. She's mad at him for kissing her. She was a fool for thinking Dam loved her. She doesn't trust Dam or Gael. She doesn't trust anyone. She goes home and...you know CRIES because everyone believes the worst of her and now Damian, too!
- Padre Lupe tries to explain to Dam that Elisa is a good girl. Lupe is not pleased that Dam has so little faith in Elisa and believes whatever anyone tells him...including Fina (maledicencia=gossip.) It seems mom is winning the battle and Padre says Dam doesn't DESERVE Elisa's love. Dam says he is dying of jealousy thinking she may have been with other men. What.a.twit. Gael comes and tries to explain, too...but Dam is too stubborn to listen. Dam goes home and tells mom she's trying to poison him against Elisa.
- Ingrid tells Kenia not to gab to Gab about Gael. Kenia tells her to give her the check back. Ingrid says no. A struggle ensues. When Kenia tries to leave (after telling Mommy Dearest she would rather have been an orphan) Ingrid whacks her on the head with a heavy statuette. Gab and Ingrid panic over Kenia's prostrate body. (turulato-a=stunned; dazed) Gab asks what kind of mother is she. He knows what kind of mother she is...the kind to abandon a child she had with Rosendo Arango. Gab is going to be there when Kenia awakes and will ask her who Ingrid's son is. Gab carries Kenia to the health center/hospital and leaves her on a bench. He goes to look for a nurse and when he returns Kenia is gone (she made her escape and is running through the town plaza.) Gab goes back to the blue house and tells Ingrid Kenia escaped.
- Doc Whipped and Assgusto share a few shots at the cantina. Main points: Assgusto confesses he's been obsessing over another woman. Doc W tells Assgusto he's paying the price for marrying "por despecho" (for spite.) Assgusto whines about not being able to betray Carmina and making her miserable. More whining about not being able to control Elisa. Doc W tells him he hasn't paid attention to Elisa since Steffie died, but it's not too late to fix his relationship with his daughter. Guess who Assgusto runs into on his way home from the cantina...yup: Kenia. She asks for help and promptly faints. He catches her and his hand comes away stained with blood. (An aside: do drunk driving laws count when you are on a horse?)
- At Hacienda Arango, Dam flashes back: Elisa's near rape, his convo with Tonia about who called the house, his beat down of Enrique, Gael kissing Elisa. Meanwhile, at Casa Castañon, Elisa flashes back to the first time she saw adult Dam; their kiss in the stables; their kiss in the foyer; and Dam telling her that together they can face anything. She tells herself it was all a lie.
- Padre is mad at Gael for kissing Elisa and causing problems with her and Dam. Gael thinks that if Dam's love were so great, he wouldn't believe the gossip over Elisa. Padre tells Gael the he made Dam doubt. Padre thinks Gael was purposely trying to cause problems; Gael denies it. Padre thinks Gael owes it to Dam and Elisa to fix things. Padre also tells Gael he can't leave without solving the issue with his mom. Padre thinks he should ask Gabino. Gael says he knows someone else he can ask.
- Assgusto took Kenia home. Kenia tells Assgusto she went for a walk and got hit and started running. Oh thank the heavens. Kenia tells Assgusto not to let Elisa marry Paolo. Then she asks him not to leave and turns on the puppy dog eyes. He will stay in the living room.
- Lola catches Nem-ho sneaking in after her tryst. Hee hee. Lola informs the Orange Tart that she's lucky she won't have to explain her late arrival. Assgusto isn't home yet either. Lola kicks ass and takes names. She tells Nem-ho she isn't afraid of her and she'll stay out of Carmina's bidnez if Carmina stays out of Elisa's bidnez.
- Dam forces Paolo to admit that nothing happened between he and Elisa. Dam threatens to put Paolo in jail for attempted rape.
- Assgusto tucks in a sleeping Kenia. Carmina waits for her wayward husband.
- Lola wakes Elisa up. She's going to spoil and pamper her (apapachar=to pamper) and make papadzules (all hail Cap'n Sylvia for figuring this out for me.) Lola fusses at Elisa for crying into her pillow all night. She wants the girl to get up and stop wallowing. Dam doesn't deserve her. Cheat-ho barges in and says Assgusto did not spend the night at home. (He's with Kenia getting coffee and trying to convince her to go to the health center. A request she refuses.)
- Padre continues to nag Gael about making up with Damian. Gael refuses to because he thinks Dam should trust more in Elisa. Padre thinks Gael should at least apologize to Elisa. Subject changes to Ingrid. Gael spills the "Kenia is her daughter beans."
