PEAM, Tuesday 3/26/13 (#12): Idiots on Parade
(Doesn't that sound like a great name for a horror film about murderous reindeer-zombies? The prequel could be "Reindeer Games" and the third one would be "Reindeer III: Season of the Witch," followed by "Reindeer IV: Rudolph's Revenge" and "Dasher Strikes Again" and then Rob Zombie could do a revival... or maybe I am delirious from chocolate withdrawal.)
(Seriously, though, thank you Blue Lass for the reindeer moniker to describe Avon's peanut gallery.)
Alma knows perfectly well that Rogelio would never have picked out that ring on his own - he can't even remember her birthday, much less her sign or birthstone! But Chucho insists that Rogue really wanted her ring to have a "special meaning," and sure, okay, Chucho helped him with that, but that was all.
Alma doesn't seem convinced. She asks, did he call all of her "friends," too? Because Alma knows that that wasn't Rog's doing, either. If it had been Rog, then only his friends would have been there. (Chucho gives Susana the credit for the invitations.) Anyway, Alma says, Chucho and Pati are her only friends! (Let's take a moment to contemplate how very sad that would be. Wait, no... friends with Chucho? I have no sympathy!) Chucho says it's an honor.
Alma says she fell out of touch with her old friends from school because she was too busy with work and career. She muses that perhaps it wasn't such a good tradeoff. "I was all alone until I met you," she tells Chucho. "But this is a day to celebrate," he reminds the theoretically radiant bride-to-be.
Not content to pester Pati only at home, Fernando stalks her at the gym as well. He is campaigning to be her next boyfriend. "You shouldn't be all by your lonesome. We can become another power couple, like Rog and Alma." Pati says not so fast - who says her relationship with Rog is through? A lot can happen between him and Alma. She didn't stay at his house last night. Besides, Fernando's already dating some secretary. "You'll never sip the refreshing drink of water that is me," she taunts.
Just to make sure that Fern is thoroughly humiliated, Pati adds that he doesn't have nearly enough money to be worth of the likes of her. Fern finally gives up and leaves her alone. Then she remembers Rog calling to ask about "lo nuestro" (referring to her status as perpetual booty call) and is so irritated, she blurts out "imbécil!", offending an innocent passerby.
What this girl needs is some inspiration. Coincidentally, Jesus arrives with Alma.

Amores Verdaderos #94 Mon 3/25/13 She loves me, she loves me not... he loves me, he loves me not... i can't love her, i can't love him... i say lock them up together in a cell for 48 hrs
At apartment, Bea and Dances with Guillo arrive to Paula and Cris. Cris takes Guillo away. Paula is very rude in a comment about Dances. Bea is upset that her mother treats Dances like this. Paula does not want Bea to suffer with such a violent guy like Dances. Bea denies Dances is any like Leonardo. Paula says you need therapy, you are repeating the pattern. Bea assures her she loves Dances and will marry him.
Vicky in her study writes ‘maybe it was a mistake, a misfire’. Tomasina comes to see her, says tomorrow she will meet with Opalina. What do you want me to ask her? … (seems Vicky would rather go with Tomasina)
Paula thinks to herself, won’t let my daughter make the same mistake again. She walks into Felipe waiting for her. He insists in them hanging together, she is not in mood for visitors. He is ok with that. She can still count on him for anything. He leaves, she looks back, rethinking his offer?.
At B kitchen, Polita, Gorilita and Angel are eating breakfast. JM standing by.
In comes angry Nil-son asking rudely about Vicky, then barks at Angel ‘is this the way you look after my wife?? (takes Angel’s plate off the table and even does it again when JM tried to return it, dragging JM into kitchen) You are irresponsible!!’ Nil-Son leaves mad, Angel is swallowing hard stopping himself from going after Nil-Son and slicing his tongue for JM to cook for dinner. (ok ,that was a bit graphic but FF idiot deserves it)

PEAM #10, 3/22/13: What Do They Make at Avon, Anyway?
They Make Plans:
Rogue wants to throw a big ol' surprise engagement party for Alma but naturally doesn't know a thing about her, including who her friends are or her taste in rings, so he delegates it all to Doña Susana. Jesús sees her consternation and offers to help. He cops Alma's address book from her phone which she accidentally left on his desk and goes off with Doña Su and a big wad of bills. What could possibly go wrong?
They Make Trouble:
Paty tries to get info about the party by buttering up Jesús. Gosh, Almita says you're one super sexy secre, didja know? He gets all goofy-face but still doesn't tell her anything. She flounces off.
They Make Promises:
The weedy little cab driver comes back for his reward, and of course Chucho's pockets are still empty. He promises him something tomorrow. Unless tomorrow's payday, this isn't looking good.
They Make Progress:
Xochi calls Jesús and asks him out for coffee; he distractedly agrees. The poor chica is over the moon. Maricela eavesdrops snottily.
They Make Memories:
Alma sees Jesús blissing out over his CD of Valentina pix and sits down to watch with him. She reassures him that it's not his fault he missed her early years, and anyway he'll be there for her from now on. Not every family is happy, she says wistfully. She confides that she would like children herself but is afraid of repeating the mistakes her own parents made.
They Make Excuses:
Vero asks to speak with Doctora Deliciosa after Valentina's session and tells her she is concerned about her child spending time in that Big Bra environment. The Doctora says she sounds jealous. Vero protests, protests, protests too much.
They Make Command Decisions:
Jesús overrides Doña Su's philosophy of "the bigger the rock, the bigger the love" and insists on a simple ring with turquoise, Alma's birthstone. It's wicked ugly, but he's the galán, so we know it will turn out all right -- after a maximum of six months of malentendidos.
They Make Wishes:
Vero calls Jesús and demands to meet his chesty girlfriend. What's her name, anyway? "Alma..." he says dreamily. Rut-Roh.
In Other News:
- The three sillies are preparing a memorable practical joke for "la nueva secretaria." Xochi is not on board, and even Susana hesitates.
- Fer suggests to Xochi that they forget all about the incident in the photocopy room. Ya think?
- Vero almost catches Elías sneaking junk food, which he hides in a houseplant. It should be noted that he looks at it with more passion than he looks at her.
- Rogue arrives home to find a rollicking party in progress on his patio, complete with a roasting pig and a tacky little bald guy who says, "Jesús invited me!" THERE WILL BE FALLOUT.

Amores Verdaderos #93 Fri 3/22/13 Big Boys Do Cry; An Unexpected Engagement
Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman. We have a really great epi this evening. We have secrets and lies all that is missing is the video tape, and we have a surprising development. So sit back with your Baileys , relax and join me on the Patio as I dish the latest on our myriad cast of characters.
We open this epi with Cris and the Angel in Angel's room talking about Angel quitting his job, Cris doesn't want that. Cris tells Angel he is her whole life and the kiss that wasn't really a kiss, just a forehead smooch and a cheeky smooch.
Next we have Guzmancito and Pau and she wants back in his life, but she is still dead to him. He can't forgive her for what she has done, Angel and Cris come in, but go right back out. Pau tries to get Guzmancito to understand, but he isn't having it and she goes, while our wonderful Guzmancito cries his tears and we on the Patio, especially Victoria from Texas, wants to wipe those tears off his face, *sigh*.

Amores Verdaderos #92 Thu 3/21/13 easier said than done... sweeping dirty little secrets under the rug...
Paula arrives at B house. Vicky goes to fetch Niki. Angel questions Paula’s new visit. She just came to sell Avon… jk… she came to teach piano.
In Niki’s room, FoyBoyRoy is miffed that the movie they watched is below par. And of course he has to throw another demeaning comment about Gorilita. Niki nips the subject in the bud saying Guzmi is uneducated gopher.
Vicky comes to get Niki. She does not want to take piano class today(isn’t it always the ‘just this once, pleeeeaaasseee!’ line?), wants to go get a welcome present for Tatito (Anyballs) instead. Vicky will be the piano student today instead.
Downstairs Angel tries to convince Paula to leave but to no avail. Niki, FoyRoy and Vicky come down. Niki and FoyRoy leave to go shopping. Vicky tells Paula she will be the student today, to Angel’s shock.
At KenDrat’s, Cris bit the bait hook, line and sinker, saying Dances is more violent than she thought. KenDrat keeps the play going and throws one last arrow telling Cris that Dances says she is a ho because the man she IS going out with is … wait for it… married??! … Cris is in shock. KenDrat says she fought her feelings. Cris suggests KenDrat talk to Paula, who was lover to a married man… KenDrat bubble thinks ‘stop saying stupid things!’ but thanks Cris for her advise. She is still afraid what Dances would have done if she were alone.

Amor Bravío #150 (Uni 145) Wed 3/20/13 " Dan Tells a Tall Tale etc."
Please hold this space for us while I finish the last page of the recap, okay?
Mena
Dear Mena,
What else would I do since one of us monopolizes the keyboard alllll the time, if you know what I mean? And while I have a minute may I remind you to take it easy on the WTQ? You get a little overexcited when you hit those keys. I know it is hard to believe some of the antics of these characters because they give me a headache too, but have a heart. Whoever still wonders if computers can approach the brains of humans didn't watch the antics of a certain hunky lunk last night is all I can say.... Go finish up and post so that viewerville can be updated on hunky lunk's whopper tale he told Wife 2, Miriam.
Sincerely, Dell
OK, Dell and I offer you the rundown on last night's capitulo....
Miriam and Dan’s Casita: While searching for a blankie for baby Aggie, Miriam finds a pendant with the carved design of a letter C. Closer study of the pendant reveals a little “sweet nothing” inscription on it. Squinting her eyes and concentrating carefully, she wonders aloud….. whose name starts with a letter “!C!”….. hmmmmmm… What do you think “! C!”Caridad? Hmmmm…. I know….. “!C!”Camila! That’s it! Viewerville claps that she figured this out so handily. QTH? She sets her jaw firmly as she says Dan had better start explaining this, pronto. [“Beeech”, adds Mr Mena.]

PEAM - #8 - Mar. 20, 2013 -Woody and Jessie take a surprise trip; Miss OCD visits the barrio
Note from Recapper Jody: I have to remind myself not to take anything in this
novela seriously or personally, it’s a comedy. well, it’s supposed to be a comedy
anyway. At various times, the episode has become so pathetic the only thing I can do is
laugh and entertain myself with thoughts like “AVON spelled backwards is NOVA (NOVA)”.
Also, I’ve been renaming characters. For now, my new nicknames include:
Chucho -- Chuckles, Xochi -- Chachi, Fernando -- Woody. And now onto the recap...
Rog packs the money in the little case as he talks with his brother Woody.
Chuckles talks on phone with Vero. She tells him she's on her way to see his place. He
tries to talk her out of going tonight. She is determined and will see him at 6 p.m. sharp.

Amores Verdaderos #90 Tue 3/19/13 Jealousy, bitterness, and . . . more jealousy
Seriously, we had a lot of jealousy tonight.
Summary (based on memory—you know how I roll!).
EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER. Feel free to add or correct recap in comments. (I know I can count on you guys!)
Refried: Big Angel doesn't get why Victoria didn't respond differently to his "confession" (of how there's a woman who has tempted him to stray from the straight and narrow), not realizing that Vicki HAS NO CLUE because he never said which woman was tempting him. "She doesn't know how much I love her" he says to himself (or some such).
The New: Big Angel packs his bags. He's outta there! But no sooner is he out the door than he's in again. He can't leave Vicki. Who will look after her?
He can't make a clean break! |

PEAM, Tuesday 3/19/13 (#7): The Bleeping Perils of Fernando's Bleeping Package Bleep Bleep Bleep
(The secretarias are all so busy making fun of Chucho - do any of them notice the way Fernando dresses? He always looks like he's on his way to a "Miami Vice" fan club convention. That look was mockable enough even when it was actually in fashion. I think it's ten times more hilarious now.)
Alma rescues Chucho by inviting him into her office. Outside, Xochi offers to give the other secretarias the money she won on the bet (about whether he would get fired today or not) if they'll stop laughing. They pause for a moment as if to consider it, but they can't control themselves.
In Alma's office, Chucho half-jokingly suggests that the secretarias conspired with Cardenas and Fernando to get him this ridiculous uniform as revenge for his insulting remarks. Alma tells him it's really not that bad, but they both know she's only being nice. Chucho tries to be a good sport about it.
Then Alma says, "I know it's none of my business, but are you, um, well, are you gay?"

Amores Verdaderos #89 Mon 3/18/13 A Confession (Kind of)
* Lo refrito: Victoria, the jealous Balvanera princess gets owned by Arriaga. “Yes, madam, you’re right, Opalina isn’t just my spiritual guide. Good night.” Vicky is impactada, and she deserved it.
* Lo nuevo: while Nikki is anxiously waiting for her BoyToyBoyfriend, the aforementioned young gentleman is in the middle of a threesome with two American girls (who surely won the award for the most horrible accent in a telenovela). He says he’s with his coach, and they are making arrengements to his next United States tournament. By the way, he hopes this time his beloved flaquita (skinny girl) will accompany him… as his wife. Neta gets a small heart attack, but manages to feign enthusiasm: oh, that’s great, she wants to marry him so much, and now she’s super happy. Really. Roy promises that as soon as he finishes there *yuck*, he’ll pick her up.

Now on to the recap. We start this epi with Nikki cuttin the cheese and then hiding it and Ms Vikki and Tomi come in and she assures her Mami that she is super fresh and mega cool. Ms Vikki wants to know about the therapy but Nikki so don't wanna talk about it, stalks off and Tomi tells Ms Vikki she will go after her. The Angel has come in, feeling bad about keeping secrets from Ms Vikki, but she really doesn't want to hear it. She isn't hurt by what he did, now if Tomi would keep things from her, she'd be upset, but hey, the Angel is only her bodyguard, not her friend, got that? Yeah, he gets it, but doesn't wanna.

Dio’s Den of Dishonor: Dio informs Agustina that they will be hosting an event at the house this evening – the asking of Novia Nat’s hand in marriage by Yucky Yago. He demands that Agustina make it an affair to remember. Agustina refuses to host if Isa is to attend because she cannot abide having Isa in her home. Dio demands she will do as he says or she can pack her bags and ….. Agustina shrinks back and agrees to do whatever she needs to do to please Don Demon Dio. Agustina thought bubbles her worries about how she will be able to keep up the façade of the host and housewife.

Valentina's full of questions for Jesus: Why are you crying? Why are you so hairy and grubby? "It's a long story," he says. Fortunately, she LOVES stories! She's excited to meet him and wants to know everything. She doesn't seem to mind that he looks like he fell off the back of a truck. She is very impressed when he tells her he came all the way from Los EEUU to see her.
Vero is a different story; she corrects the child's pronunciation of "viniste" (she said "veniste") and tells her again to go to bed. Jesus raises his eyes to Elias in a silent plea for support; Elias signals his powerlessness with a barely perceptible shake of his head.

Amores Verdaderos #83 Fri 3/8/13 The Solis Punching Bag makes it through another day as a free man thanks to his mommy, A child you love can't keep a secret, but at least Bea and Guillo are safe.
Refritis:
Leo mangling Bea with knife on her neck… lights go out. Leo goes out to check and when he opens door he is facing Dances’ gun… However, Leo manages to trip Dances to floor… Leo runs to Bea and uses her as shield.
Both Dances and Frankie point to him but just freeze there.
Paula is at hospital seeing Anibal, she manages to tell Anibal he has a 3rd daughter but tries several times to tell him her name, but he has another heart attack and Big Angel shoves her out with threats she will be responsible for Anyballs’ death.
Lo Nuevo:
Leo threats Bea will pay if they approach him. Meanwhile he insults Dances calling him a “sopilote”(bum/nobody) who will never have his woman. Dances barks back ‘when did she become your property?!’
Frankie tries to negotiate with Leo, saying if Bea does not want to be with Leo he can’t force her. Being married to her does not give him right to take her against her will. He kidnapped her. Somehow Frankie is getting closer to Leo as he tells Leo about Bea and Guillo being his family. When Leo stands up repeating the name ‘Guillo’ (surely he has a soft spot in that disturbed heart for his son), Frankie manages to grab the knife and punch Leo into the floor and then Dances starts using Leo as a punching bag with gun in hand. Dances asks Leo now where is your ‘courage’? Frankie has Bea in his arms. Frankie and Bea leave, while Dances tells an unconscious Leo(Dances is pushing his foot on Leo’s head pinching him on floor) to start praying, because maybe he won’t come alive from ‘this one’ (then scans around with his eyes… hmmm, maybe he intends on fulfilling the prediction personally).
Back at hospital, Vicky arrives, but does not recognize Paula as the piano teacher since Paula has scrubs complete with her face mask. Angel feels bad for having lied to Vicky about feeling ill, prays God for forgiveness because she did not prevent the confrontation with Senora Paula. Vicky feels awful since she could have avoided the confrontation with Adriana, then left for just a couple minutes and see what happened (the 2nd heart attack).
Doctor comes by tells her Anyballs is not conscious, Vicky wants to see him for a minute anyways so the Doc gives in. Doc and Vicky leave.
A nurse comes by and recognizes Angel as the model on the tv commercial and asks for an autograph. He responds ‘that is not me, I am Ms Vicky B’s bodyguard, THAT is me! (with a bit of pride in his tone in the end, how easily he forgot he was just apologizing to God for being a bad boy). Poor nurse, she was left alone siging and enchanted with just seeing him walk away.
Back at B/Arriaga apartment, Lili is worried about what Bea is going through. Cris tells her ‘mirror yourself in that so you will choose wisely a good man for a husband for yourself’. They discuss Frankie as being a good possibility. Lili’s hopes get deflated when Cris tells her she confirmed with Bea that Frankie is married. Lilli is not hungry. It was a strange day. Many things happened, wants to know how Adri is doing after she found the stones in her daughter’s grave. Cris gets miffed at Lilli worrying about Adriana. She lies saying she is worried that Angel has not reported in all day. Lilli tells her when they were at cemetery she felt like hugging Cris. Cris gets her spirits up and they embrace in a nice loving hug.
At hospital chapel, Adri is praying to the virgin that no one knows her sorrows like her. But only ANyballs can answer her questions. Please don’t take him away yet. Will not be able to forgive him, ever.
At Anyballs bed, Vicky is crying, tells him he is a very strong man, fight for your life. We all need you. Know lately we have had differences, but my love for you is intact. ‘I know you will talk to Adriana and will clear her doubts. What happened with Lucia, where she is…’ you can’t go leaving my sister sunk in the anguished darkness.
Back at B house, Niki is handling the stress in her favorite way, with a multi-level tray of cakes and cookies with chocolate syrup. In comes Roy with wine and freezes at the sight of her swallowing cake pieces whole… she comes up with the excuse of her stress. Grandpa dying, family breaking down… Roy mentions family might fight for the Anyballs inheritance. Niki does not appreciate the comment, in her own special vocabulary… ‘zero que ver con tu comentario, neta!...’ he is sure Anyballs put her as his universal heir(even adding his own vocabulary referring to Niki as Anyballs’ ‘consen’ (consentida))… Niki gets even more irritated. ‘que onda con tu planeta? Se salio de orbita o que?’ She says its real bad taste to talk money when someone is so gravely ill. She does not care about the money, only that ‘mi tatito’ stays alive. Roy pushes on, saying he would love for Anyballs to be there at their wedding… Niki pulls away and he stops pushing buttons. But immediately is miffed at her for constantly rejecting him. She apologizes (FOR WHAT???!!), feeling ill, he gets a bit slurpy kissing her face. I understand. I have loved you all my life. You are no. 1 in my rank list, flaquita. (OH PLEEEEZZ!!! Someone hand me over a puke bag please!!)
Frankie and Bea on street by Leo’s mom’s place, saying Dances and Leo are taking too long. They are worried of The grannie not turning over Guillo if Leo takes too long. Suddenly, Leo’s car comes with Leo driving and Dances in back seat. Frankie gets Leo out and drags him around some more. Dances warns Leo ‘you know what you need to do, you better do what I told you, or you won’t have time to talk about it.’ Inside, Guillo is asking Grannie when will dad come for him. Loud door knocks, and Grannie hides Guillo and looks worried hesitating to open the door.
Back at B/A apartment, Cris and Lilli still worried. Paula arrives. Needed to talk to someone. Cris asks if she heard about what happened to Bea. Pau asks where was she. When Cris tells her Leo had kidnapped her, Paula goes beserk. Grabs Lilli and yells that Leo is very violent, will kill her!!. Cris tells her that Dances got a call and he and Frankie went to get her. And if Angel knew about it he would have gone along, but he is too busy, been MIA all day, maybe he has been doing the powwow with his boss lady. Paula tells Cris he is at the clinic. Cris gets alarmed, Paula clarifies ANyballs had a heart attack. Paula cries saying everytime something is going on with my kids, I am with Anyballs!!. She confirms to Cris and Lilli that Bea and Frankie are her children. Cris and Lilli’s jaws are all over the carpet, they are in shock.
Back to Guillo’s Grannies… Bea comes in asking for Guillo. GUillo comes out of hiding and hugs her. Then he notices her bumps and bruises all over her face and gets sad. Leo, Frankie and Dances are also standing around. Bea asks him if he noticed who else came to see him. Frankie hugs Guillo very lovingly. Guillo tells him he has news, his parents got back together. Frankie gets sad and tells him that his dad (Leo) has something to tell him.
Dances, who is standing behind Leo, pokes him with the gun and reminds him on what they agreed. Then steps away. Leo greets Guillo his usual way (Cachorro), then tells him he and Bea were talking and realized they can’t be together. Guillo is sad. He insists he loves them both. Leo hugs him, Guillo is still denying it as true. Then begins to cry as Leo explains it is normal to get sad when parents split. You are brave, you just have to work with it. There will be changes but it will be like when we went to watch your (futbol) games together. IT will be same, but after the game you will go home with Mom. Bea comes over and tries to console a devastated Guillo. Slowly you will get used to it, and all you need to remember that for your dad and me you will always be the center of our lives. Bea asks Guillo to kiss dad goodbye. Guillo hugs Leo as if he did not want to let go. Leo reminds him to think he is the son of Leo Solis. Frankie gets Guillo back off Leo, then tells him that Dances will take him to the car while Frankie and Mommy talk to dad. (Dances takes him away).
F: Now we will talk!
L: I did my part already.
F: Yeah, you returned Guillo to Bea. But what about all the years of abuse!, of violence you gave her! The hours of anguish she lived not knowing about her son?? And the time you had her kidnapped??!!
L: Look, lil’l BIL!!! I am fed up with you!
F: And to wrap it up…
L: What are you going to do now?
F: Call the police to accuse you for what you did to Bea, because kidnapping implicates jailtime!! (Grannie screaches in horror)
At hospital, Vicky tells Adriana that Anyballs will be alright. Doc says he will have meds for the rest of his life, he needs to stop smoking and do exercise, and most importantly, we have to avoid him any traumas/strong emotions.
Adri asks when Anyballs will be released. Doc says don’t know. He is still in ICU but recommend you all go get some rest. (Doc leaves)
Adri cannot be convinced in ‘waiting’. ‘I have waited 18 years, hasn’t that been enough? … it is easy for you to talk, because you have your daughter at your side.’ Vicky says she understands her anguish and also wants to know what happened to Lucia but don’t want my dad to die. I am sure you don’t either. Please, wait a bit longer. (Adri is not convinced and shoves Vicky’s hand away) alright, will wait, but let it be known I am doing it for you, not for him. (leaves)
Vicky asks Angel if it is so wrong/evil to ask Adri to wait. Angel says what is right and what is wrong/evil? You are fighting for the life of your dad. Ms Adriana is fighting to find her daughter. Both of you are right. But what is right and what is wrong/evil?
Back to Leo’s house, Grannie pieads to Frankie for Leo. ‘your son commited a crime and has to pay!’.. Grannie goes to Bea to try her luck with her.
L: IF what you want is to see me on my knees begging you, it won’t happen!
(to Bea) see what you caused?
B: No, you are wrong, Leo!! All I want is for you to forget about having me, please!! And to be a good dad for Guillo! That’s all I want!
(Frankie has to push Leo off Bea again)
L: Your brother and your ‘friend with rights/privileges’ really collected on me nicely! First they push me to return my son! And now you all want to lock me up in jail(al bote). (Frankie has heard enough)
F: You have been following Bea. You threatened her and ended up kidnapping her!! But it is over!
Grannie found her voice: My son is very impulsive (atrabancado), but he has done it all for love!!
F: Please, you asked for it on your own!
Frankie has the phone in his hand and begins to dial the police. Leo pushes his mother off from between them. Leo goes for the phone and he and Frankie begin to wrestle. Grannie grabs a huge vase(nice attention to detail on props staff, the flowers in it are plastic, dollar store flowers, and cheap vinyl curtains with flowers on them) and smashes it on Frankie’s head and back, leaving him unconscious and yells at Leo to run away(he kisses her forehead and runs out), while Bea tends to Frankie, yelling at Grannie ‘what did you do?? What did you do, Senora??! Grannie replies ‘he is my son!!’. Frankie is unconscious. (what?? No blood with that huge heavy vase?? Heads bleed from someone just blowing on them!!’)
At apartment, Paula has finished telling Cris and Lilli the story. Cris tells her you are a neverending surprise bag. But why do you always lie? Lilli asks why not tell them about Bea and Frankie being her children? … Paula says she was trying to protect Anyballs. Frankie is very impulsive and proud. He would never have forgiven him that she was lover of Anyballs, the owner of the house he works at. And he is still ignoring it. Can’t even imagine what will happen when he finds out. Door knocks. Guillo comes in, along with Dances. They ask him for Frankie. Guillo says Frankie stayed behind to talk to my dad. My parents will divorce. Then he talks to Paula as his ‘abue’ and goes to hug her. Dances notices Guillo calling Paula ‘Abue’, Lilli tells him she is Bea and Frankie’s mom.
Lilli takes Guillo away to show him some flowers (Gertrudis).
Paula asks Dances about Bea and Frankie. Dances says they must be at police station.
Meanwhile, Adriana is ringing bell at Paula’s place. Of course she is at Cristina’s. Adriana remembers Paula yelling at her at hospital ‘go ahead, spill your hatred!! But then don’t come looking for me to ask what happened with your daughter!!’
Back at Leo’s… Bea tending to Frankie with ice on a towel. Grannie is apologizing, she could not allow them to lock up her son in jail. He is all I have. ‘Betty, you know how much he loves you’.
B: Aida(Grannie’s name), Leo is ill. What he feels for me is not love. He had no right to take Guillo away from me and to retain me on threats and cruelty.
Grannie: Forgive him! You are a mother like me. IF my son goes to jail, what will I live for? … Frankie, we have been family.
F: Dona Aida, I can’t risk Leo harming my sister again.
G: But after all that has happened today, you think he will dare do anything again? Please have compassion! Please!!...
Bea tells a disbelieving Frankie that she won’t accuse Leo. Leo can be whatever… but she does not want to cause Guillo an even stronger pain when he finds out his dad is in jail.
Back at B house, Niki and Vicky talk about Anyballs health, don’t want him to die. He is strong. He will get better soon. Vicki changes the subject to Niki. A few days ago Roy did not exist, and now he ‘lives’ here. Niki says since they were kids Roy ‘lived’ in the house. They would take him along on trips. Vicki admits Roy is son of her best friend. Nice but a bit unstable. A bit superficial (on right track, you are way short there). And I don’t think he is the ideal man for you. I am even surprised about your relationship, you are even talking wedding. Niki says don’t hallucinate. He loves me and I do too. Let’s see what happens. Vicky says ok. Niki says everything is ok. She is happy Roy returned. Vicky asks what is Roy’s rank.. friend? Boyfriend? Or formal boyfriend (Fiancee)? … one more question. What about Guzman? .. Niki says what I lived before Roy is not important. Roy is my present and what I want to live. Vicky leaves it there and suggests they go downstairs to eat, takes some convincing but Niki gives in.
At B kitchen, Polita and JM talk about Anyballs getting through it. They are sad Anyballs won’t eat chicharron (Fried pork skins) anymore. Greek salad with goat cheese… yum!! .. JM and Tomasina talk a bit too much about Niki eating the salad being good for her. Polita asks what is wrong with Niki’s health that suddenly she is going to doctors and taking meds. Tomasina says that due to all the dieting Niki has not eaten very well lately. Polita comes up with her own diagnosis, worms in her stomach. Then Polita says she misses Frankie, hopes he is having a good time with his family. The subject moves on to Felipe’s debt, how did he pay? … not sure but not important. Polita makes a comment about Frankie’s hard times with Niki (la ricitos de oro), leaves pacing like a French maid with a ‘Con per mua’ (LOL!!)
Angel is on cell phone with Cristina trying to explain ‘the day he had’… with Anyballs heart attack. Cris asks how is he. Angel says better, but still in ICU and not allowing visitors. Cris tells him about the kidnapping rescue Frankie and Dances did. And now the gossip queen in Cris can’t resist telling him also about Paula’s secret being Frankie and Bea’s mom.
At dinner table, Niki is reluctantly eating. Niki notices Vicky is a bit sad.
Vicky tells her she loves her.
Meanwhile, Paula asks Dances to not tell anything to her son. Dances says ok. Lilli asks Dances if he is sure they made sure Guillo did not see anything violent. Dances says Frankie and him ensured Guillo would not realize the kind of father he has. Then Lilli asks about ANyballs. And gets a pain in her chest when Dances explains Anyballs got ill when he argued with Adri about her child. Right then Frankie and Bea arrive. Lilli gets worried. Bea says she is ok thanks to Frankie and Bea. Frankie tells Dances Bea won’t accuse Leo.
Bea thanks Dances for all he did. Dances says you can count on me always.
Paula comes out… greets Bea lovingly. Frankie has a grumpy face realizing now he will have to give Dances some explanations (his and Bea being Paula’s kids)
Previews: Adri struggles with Paula about the whereabouts of her daughter.
Dances tells Frankie if he finds out Leo tried anything with Bea
Angel and Vicky have an intimate moment.

Amor Bravío #141 (Uni 136) Thu 3/7/13 Amor Despierto
It's been quite a long day, so I'm going to be summarizing a lot more than usual. I'll slow it down if anything really important comes up….
Dionisio knows that Agustina is working to get evidence that he's Hector Gutierrez. Dio mentally vows revenge. Agustina is jumpy when he comes into the room finally…her beanie may be slipping because she actually notices he's looking at her strangely.
Vivi, Rafa, and Aaron report on the day's progress at getting Isadora thrown in jail for good. Leoncio's testimony just wasn't compelling enough, but hopefully Amanda's and her neighbor's will be. Miriam enters and has Caridad bring baby Agatha (poor kid…that name's going to suck when she grows up) to the window so Daniel can wave and croak at her…good thing she's not in the room or that might have freaked her out.
Osvaldo will be at Amanda's early tomorrow to escort her to the police station to give her testimony.
