PEAM #29-The Ice Princess is Melting, Please Speak into the Microphone and Its Not Funny!

Xochy is whispering to Jesus on the phone-

Discua loudly asks Ferny if he is going to the Public Ministry office,  shhhhh!!  She just wanted to know if he was going there and if he needed anything.  It’s a secret; no one should know that he is going. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz. (Wink, wink)  He is just going to run out.  Jesus asks for Alma, but Xochy tells her that she went out a little while ago.

Pati meets Alma for lunch and lets her know that she just saw Jesus and she is worried about him.

Xochy lets Jesus know that Ferny is going to the Public Ministry.  Jesus calls Delia to find out why she was contacting Ferny. She still has doubts about the empty warehouse and is continuing her routine investigation.  It’s strange that after attacking him at his house the warehouse is completely empty.  Hmmm.

Pati tells Alma that Jesus misses Alma.  She lies and tells Alma that he clearly told her that he would love to return to Avon and work alongside Alma.  Alma finds it hard to believe because it was no picnic working with Ferny and he needed to earn more money for his daughter.  According to Pati, Ferny is a saint compared to Jesus’ new boss.  Alma doesn’t believe her.  Pati throws out a love comment, and then takes it back but it leaves Alma thinking.

Ferny meets his brother and the lawyer outside of the Public Ministry Office and the lawyer instructs him to only answer what he is asked.  Rogue tells Fern to call him and leave his phone on so that Rogue can hear everything that is said.  Ferny is worried that they know about the money.  The lawyer says that if they knew anything then he would have been arrested.

The secretaries ask Discua, if she had any idea as to why the Public Ministry Office wanted to talk to Ferny.

Alma and Pati return to Avon and Susana.  Alma wants to know why they are not working?  When do they work?? Susana tells Alma that Ferny had to go to the Public Ministry office. (Wink)

Discua answers the phone for Alma. It’s her daughter????? It’s a little girl, wink.

The lawyer accompanies Ferny to the Public Ministry office visit.  Ferny tries to sweet-talk the agent but its not working and she doesn’t want any part of the lawyer’s participation either. She wants to know what Ferny has to do with the warehouse.  The agent shuts Cantu down. She doesn’t want to hear from him. She will ask the questions!!! Cantu reminds her that Ferny came on his own.  F looks could kill, the agent continues.  She asks Ferny what Information does he have on the warehouse at 43 Independence Avenue.

A sad Valentina talks to Alma.  She is sad and is crying because Papa Elias is not returning home.  She had spoken to he Papa Jesus via computer. She misses him.  Why doesn’t he work at Avon??  He is at the new job because he has a better job.  Valentina likes Alma as a friend.  (Valentina is an old soul)
The Ice Princess is at Avon and meets Discua Paz de la Soledad.  She then meets Xochy and sizes her up mentally, while sanitizing her hands.  She checks up on Jesus, oh because of her daughter. You know that he has a daughter? Xochy tells her that he works for Orion.  Alma asks why the Ice Princess is here? She wants to talk to Xochy.  Xochy says that the Ice Princess wants to know about Jesus’ whereabouts. It’s a good thing that no one works as a CIA agent, because no information is scared here.
The lawyer wants proof, but the agent says that it’s only a conversation.
The agent says that Jesus was attacked by two men and that Jesus recognized one of the men.  The wonders if Ferny knows anything about this, he looks a little nervous.  It’s just the pressures of the job.  She knows that Jesus went to that warehouse to get a package from one of the men that attacked him and Ferny sent Jesus. Rogue is peeved that it is a known fact that Ferny sent Jesus to the warehouse for the package.  Ferny says that that the package was for his brother, Rogue (no honor among thieves).  The lawyer nudges Ferny. They were special Turkish cigars.  Rogue is livid.  Why was he surprised that his brother is such an idiot??  The lawyer is working on the agent’s nerves.  She is not falling for any of his foolishness and the story that the Brothers Dimm have ordered European cigars for years.  Are they buying the cigars as contraband??? She has been to the warehouse, which is located in a remote area.  The agent asks Ferny for his lighter, since he is a smoker, but he left it in his coat.  Ferny suffers from hoof in the mouth disease.

Pablo, I agree, I preferred the original opening too.  I guess that we are entering a new phase.  Fast forward.
The Ice Princess returns home, to a sweet loving Valentina.  She tells her mom how much she loves her and it is the same thing that Jesus used to tell the Ice Princess, when she was hot.

The two fools at Orion give the secretary a hard time regarding their lunch orders and Jesus sets them straight.  Heat up your cold lunch in the microwave.
The agent tells Ferny that if her has anything to hide, now is the time to speak.  The conversation is cut off from Rogue.  Cantu brings up the fact that Jesus is entered the country with the suitcase filled with money and the agent dismisses him.  She looked at him so coldly, I felt the chill.

The Brothers Dimm and their lawyer realize that the agent is no fool. It will be hard to prove anything about last night’s beating as long as Malvino doesn’t speak.  Rogue is certain that he and Ferny don’t have the same blood and they all start arguing.  Where’s the loyality??? These idiots know nothing about loyalty.

A melancholic Jesus arrives at Avon and introduces himself to Discua. (Wink!!)  Xochy acts like 12 years old and greets Jesus.
Everyone including Alma is watching.

Cantu lets the Brothers Dimm know that Jesus is the one who carried the suitcase for Uri Petrovsky.  Rogue’s face lights up.

The only way that Jesus didn’t serve time was to snitch on Uri.  Rogue starts putting two and two together.  He can point put Malvino.  Rogue blames Jesus for losing the money that was illegally entering the country.

The secretaries ask Jesus about his bruised lip.  He zips Xochy’s lips and chats with the ladies.

Alma thinks that Xochy is Jesus’ girlfriend.
Jesus stops to see Alma, he comments that his new job is going well and he is learning a lot.  Pati is watching the two of them as if she was at a tennis match.  Alma mentions that Valentina called and asked for him.  Jesus pays Alma back the money that she lent to him.  He appreciated her kindness.  Pati, for once is left speechless.

Valentina asks the Ice Princess if she is sad and misses Papa Elias.  Yes, she admits that she is.  Icy wishes that Valentina would have asked her before rather than her Papa Jesus. but she wasn’t around.

Jesus speaks to someone on the phone.  Xochy asks who is it?? Someone that I have a debt with??
Stooge-Bautista needs a salary advance he makes up a story about a family member to Cardenas.

Marsela announces that she is going to the expensive restaurant with the Stooge Bautista.  Xochy and Jesus wonder if he can afford that restaurant.  Why not something a little more modest.  No, not for the materialistic Marsela, that won’t do.

Jesus is going to see Valentina.  The stooge gets his advance.  The Brothers Dimm and their lawyer ask Cárdenas for Jesus’ record.  They see the criminal note and ask why was he hired.  He tells them that Alma insisted that he be hired.  The Brothers Dimm and the lawyer do not want anyone else to know that they have asked for the records.
If Jesus commits a crime he will have to go to jail.  The Brothers Dimm have a plan-uh boy.  They meet Jesus in the secretary area, they are so happy to see him. - Yeah right!  Xochy doesn’t understand what is going on. Hmmm and he paid Jesus’ hospital bill.  The two stooges watch the third stooge count money.  Jesus asks for the money that he is owed for the night that they stiffed him.  He had to work it off at the restaurant.  He doesn’t work there anymore and he needed the money for his daughter. He snatches up one stooge and they start making excuses.  Jesus wants and needs to teach them all a lesson, while a proud Xochy looks on. Xochy is becoming annoying and hanging around Jesus like an itchy wool collar.
The three stooges are scared, it was only a joke.  Really???  Put yourselves in my place, pay up!!  They rate Xochy an 8.5.  Alma asks for Jesus and Susana says that Xochy is in heaven right now.  Jesus pays the annoying cab driver, who is happy and changes his annoying tune. Jesus is a man of his word.  Xochy is still looking on.  Jesus needs a ride, the driver will oblige and she invited herself.
 
The Brothers Dimm blame everything on Jesus and Alma interrupts.  She asks about Ferny’s appointment at the Public Ministry office.  The Brothers lie about buying cigars and Rogue blames Ferny for buying contraband- cigars, x-rated movies, etc.  Rogue “scolds” his brother. Rogue has had a long day, he would invite her over but…. Alma smells a rat.
Ferny and Rogue starts calling each other nacos. Fast forward.

Marsela and Stooge Bautista firm up their plans and talk about his old car and Discua bids them a good night.  Gilberto, the stooge is making small talk with another secretary but he can’t take his eyes off of her backyard.  The Gilberto stooge meets Discua at the elevator and is ecstatic that she remembers his name and he would like to invite her to The Fontina while an ignored Jessica walks by.

Recap By Pablo
 
For the record: After episode 26, 3Ball has been replaced and now the intro is the ballad they use in the romantic scenes. I liked the old one better. Had more kick!

Amores Verdaderos #110 Tue 4/16/13 Opalina Arrives; abandon all hope

Amores Verdaderos Cap 110 April 16, 2013—Opalina Arrives, abandon all hope

PUT A FORK IN IT, IT IS DONE! Screencaps and updates are now up! Most of this was written from memory with a few gaps filled in later.

EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER:

* Christina didn't die in the accident. We see a refry of her being hit by Espanto in the truck, then her in the ambulance.

* Lily, our Little Orchid, gets bad vibes which settle in her stomach. She even passes out. She feels so weird. Doesn't know why.

* Gilda/Hilda is talking with Paula. She's worried that both their gooses will be cooked if/when Anibal finds out what douchebaggery they've been up to (hiding Candelaria's letter, Chris's parentage, etc.) Paula is feeling guilty for everything and hopes to make it up to Chris. (Too late!)

Paula seems to sincerely be worried about Chris. 

* Big Angel is back in his home town, feeling good and hopeful. He meets up with a friend, the local policeman/sheriff and tells him an abbreviated and tastefully edited (but still honest) account of what happened to him and his family. He, Chris and Lily got jobs, but his schedule only allowed him to see his family once a week, which put a strain on his marriage. He's looking forward to getting things back on track, will look for a job there and everything! He's in high spirits.

* Vicki is talking with Thomasina about Big Angel's departure. Vicki is determined that this is how it must be. We can't build our happiness on someone eles's pain, she vows. Adri comes in and Thomasina excuses herself. Adri wants to know what's up with the bodyguard suddenly leaving. Vicki just says he was a country boy who belongs in the country. Adri is concerned—does this mean that Lili will go too?  She's bummed to hear that the answer is probably yes.

No more access to Lili? Bummer!

Qué Bonito Amor #2 (Mex 2.2-3) Tuesday 4/16/13 The Great Escape Becomes the Road Trip of a Lifetime


Lo del pasado
Santos is calling Giuliano from a pay phone outside his hotel to let him know he’s alive and where he is, after all, the family lawyer is someone you can always trust.  Giuliano (El Oompa Looompa) happily takes down the address and later is seen talking to four henchmen and giving them the last best instructions on how they need to operate like real federales to get rid of Santos. Only that will make Godpadre happy. After hanging up, Santos passes by a sign where American ropa of finest quality is sold and decides to exchange his royal blue business shirt for something a little more americano—it looks like a leather jacket will be the thing.  He goes back to the hotel room and starts packing.

Lo del nuevo
El Auto Hotel – Santos hears the police come knock, knock, knockin’ at the door of his Auto Hotel room.  He had already packed his brand new backpack and checks out through the window.  The “fake” popo sent by Giuliano look around but can’t seem to find him.  They go back outside.  Lo and behold, Santos is on the roof and they don’t see him.  He drops down to the ground and *then* they see him and start taking pot shots at him.  It’s a one sided firefight in the dark.  Santos sneaks up and knocks over one popo and then the other and takes off.  They fire and miss but chase him down an alleyway. Santos doesn’t have time to think how they might have found him since he only told Giuliano where he was.

Truck Yard – A long-distance hauler is about ready to pull out when what to his wondering eyes should appear but a face at the passenger side window crying help, help.  He’s not sure what to do, or what he can do, but apparently the honest earnestness of the face on the other side of the window convinces him that it will be ok to let him into the cab.

Garza household in L.A. – Altagracia tells an unbelieving Justo that Santos is VIVO.  Justo doesn’t believe her, especially when she tells him she just talked to him by phone.  He must think she’s lost her diamond marbles.  Justo feels that to clear his name, Santos must return to L.A. Altagracia is not of the same mind. She’s sure that it’s a set up to blame him for someone else’s bad deed.  Altagracia is convinced he’s innocent and Justo is of a mind to believe her.

Character says title of the telenovela out loud/Bingo Square filled Back to the truck. TOBWR (The Only Big White Rig) on the road at night is stopped by some federales (conjecture).  The driver, by name of Rigoberto (aka Choforo, lately of LVO) is sweating bullets, but hands over the keys for them to examine the load.  They flash their lights around, but see nothing but cargo. Santos is scrunched down behind something that looks like a partition.  They hand the keys back and Rigoberto stops sweating bullets. It seems that the Virgen was protecting Santos because that partition was the back of a large framed picture of Her Holiness.  

Rigoberto has lost his fear of the stranger with the strange story, after listening to the whole thing. Santos ends his story by telling Riggo that he’s been living a nightmare (viviendo una pesadilla). Santos doesn’t think Riggo believes him, but he does. Obvio, Riggo ruminates, someone close to you wants you dead.  It might be prudent not to stick around a border town—it’d be too easy to be spotted.  Meanwhile, Riggo has his own slight problem.  He has to go from Tijuana to D.F. by day after tomorrow and his partner got sick. It’s a very long drive. Santos is more than willing to accompany him (according to Google, it’s about 1750 miles) and share the driving.  Rigoberto is not sure this is all on the up and up, and does Santos even know how to drive one of these big rigs?  Santos laughs a confident laugh, but doesn’t answer yes *or* no.  [Aside: Whatevva.  Next we see him driving TOBWR, so I guess it was a yes.] While they are tooling along, Riggo tells him his life story and how he’s been married to the same woman for 40 years. His dream is to buy a little house for them.  He doesn’t see her often because of his job, but he’s still crazy about her.  If you could only see it, que bonito amor, he says.

The Mejia Magic Expressway gets them to D.F. in no time – They have plenty of time to chat, listen to good Mexican music, check the road signs as they pass Guadalajara and Morelia on Route 307 (just try to find that on Google) and finally see a sign they are close to D.F.  They reach D.F. and Viewerville gets a birds-eye short tour of Capital Highlights. Santos thinks this will be the end of the road.  Riggo planned to get a hotel room for the night but won’t leave him abandoned on the streets of a city he doesn’t know. Santos is sure he can get a room in a hotel.  Riggo is afraid Santos’ identity will be discovered when he tries to register and pay with wet greenbacks.

PEAM, Tuesday 4/16/13 (#27): Bombón Asesino (WINK!)

In no particular order...

Malvino has spent the night at Rogue's place. Last Rogue heard, Chucho had no idea who beat him up, so Rogue tells Malvino to go back to the warehouse. Rogue goes to work and Malvino loafs around the house for a while longer. He acts creepy around the maid, which makes her nervous (she calls Rogue to complain) and offends the dog.

Meanwhile, Chucho tells his probation officer about the beating, the assailant's familiar voice, the warehouse, and the Avon manager who sent him there to pick up the Turkish cigars. Like any irresponsible law enforcement professional, the probation lady actually takes him to the warehouse, which is still cleaned out so there is nothing to see. Silverio is there, though, and he calls Malvino to let him know that Jesus is watching.

Chucho is embarrassed that his tip didn't pan out and feels bad about implicating the Brothers Dimm because they were sooooo nice to him last night and even paid his hospital bill. The probation officer says she'll question the Brothers Dimm about their connection to the warehouse without implicating Chucho.

Amores Verdaderos #109 Mon 4/15/13 Some truths are better left unsaid.

Bus station: Angel gets out of bus and runs to the arms of Vicky. That embrace feels GOOOOOD!!, smiles exchanged and finally a KISS!!!


At B house kitchen, JM and Polita comment Angel’s resignation with He-man. Polita goes to open door to KenDrat. Lilli arrives at kitchen, He-man has to tell her that Angel left for good.

Back to the kiss at the bus station… Ay chispeados!! Perdoneme!! (boy those are weird words right after a goodbye kiss, aren’t they?). Vicky tries to convince Angel not to go, he feels awkward, prefers to go before what they feel for each other becomes something dirty and shameful. She keeps pleading to no avail. Angel also concerned to not cause any more trouble for her with her husband. What if he(Nil-Brains) shows that video to Niki? Vicky gets upset at the thought of that. Angel says ‘nuff said, I gota go’. Vicky keeps pleading, can’t live without you. Angel puts her on the spot. Would you leave your life, your daughter and everything else just for me? I also have my wife Cris and my solecito. We have no right to harm them. Vicky admits neither of their daughters should pay the price of their love. But can’t live without you. (anyone hear the Barry Manilow classic?) Angel reminds her that being with him would mean she gives up her daughter, her sister, her dad and her business. It would not be the life she is used to. He can’t lie either. His life is at the fields, his daughter and his wife Cris. Having come to the city and become her bodyguard was just a fantasy. Vicky refuses to believe what she feels is fantasy. It is reality.

Lilli at the house says she was previewing something was happening. What if it is because my parents reconciled? She will go to the house, maybe they are there. He-man just asks her to let him know if she finds out anything.

Niki asks KenDrat to repeat to her all the story about He-man. She is very confused, he swears he loves her and has no interest in fortunes. Niki tells KenDrat that He-man wants her to cancel her wedding with Roy. ‘Escudo protector, activate!’ (LOL!) KenDrat keeps feeding her lies about Dances hearing from He-man that marrying Niki was a surebet plan that had already worked with his previous wife. His previous wife had lots of money which He-man spent freely. (this is news to Niki about his ex-wife). KenDrat keeps twisting the lies into the holes in Niki’s swiss cheese brain. Niki insists He-man sounds so sincere when he tells her about her feelings. KenDrat says ‘stay strong, marry Roy Pavia’. (Niki walks away and KenDrat realizes Niki is really head over heels for He-man and that she will have to keep working to get Niki to stay away from He-man and marry Roy and move out).

By popular request: a new section for news about upcoming novelas

Hello friends,

If you look in the sidebar you'll find a new category, "Las Proximas." This section is for news about shows which are coming (or probably coming, or maybe coming) to Univision and Telemundo. This has been requested so I've added it.

NO SPOILERS still holds - initial plot outline ok, news about personajes etc, but no spoilers. I am going to depend on JOAN to police this, since she spearheaded the movement.

Thanks all,
Jane

PEAM #26 - 04/15/13 – Rescued Valentina and Showers of Love for Jesus Only Fuels the Envy


My heart goes out to all in Boston, what a terrible tragedy on a wonderful day for the city where I lived for 28 years.  I would often have the day off to go to that very area near the end of the race to cheer on the runners and chair racers.  I can’t imagine how people are coping with the death and injury of so many innocent victims.  Paz y amor para todos los victimas.


Refrito:   Valentina runs crying into the arms of her MomDragon, who for just that brief moment is crying and only needs a few seconds to start pummeling Valentina with questions but the brave little girl keeps telling her truth to her unhearing Mom.

Nuevas Noticias: Pati tortures Rogue with the news that she is an “intimate friend” of Jesus and of course is going off to the hospital to check on his injuries from the attack.  Rogue decides to head to the hospital to head off Pati against the for once good advice from Fernando.

Amor Bravío HOY Post-Finale Special!!!!


Amor Bravío HOY Post-Finale Special

Remember when we used to have the Cristina telenovela post-finale specials to look forward to? We would get to see the telenovela stars we had just seen blunder, struggle, triumph, and punished over the last 5-9 months, all cleaned up in their real world duds, and hear their take on their characters, the story, and the behind the scenes. Cristina would at times push the envelope and ask questions that were WAY too personal (usually about the romantic lives of the leads), but for the most part, she kept her questions focused on the telenovela, which is exactly why we watched her show. In the last two years since the Cristina show ended, Don Francisco has tried his hand at the post-finale special, with little success.

I’m glad he didn’t attempt it with the Amor Bravío cast. But I (and I’m sure others) really wanted to see this great cast all together one last time, and hear their thoughts on the telenovela. The folks at Hoy did us this favor, and brought the AB cast and crew together for a Post-Finale Amor Bravío Special after the finale aired in Mexico in October. Other than a few missing people, who were already off on location filming their next telenovelas (e.g. Florencia de S./Natalia, Laura C./Ximena), most of the cast was present.

The interviews feel more like we’ve dropped in on a chat between friends, because the Hoy cast members are all actors, singers or entertainers who have worked with many of the AB actors in the past, or are even related to them or have close personal ties. I will do my best to give an overview of what was said. But rapid-fire informal speech is way different than scripted/slower speech in a telenovela. What is clear is that this cast enjoyed working with each other, and we the audience certainly enjoyed watching them.  A link to the entire 52 minute show is embedded above, but here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMgAVYmKpwk

Amor Bravío #167 (Uni 162) Fri 4/12/13 Baby Agata’s Ransomed and Rescued; Luzma’s Recovery Leads to Love on the Rebound in the Middle of a Mud Mound; Miriam’s Fate’s No Longer in Debate; Issa and Dio’s Day of Reckoning Arrives; Rodolfo’s Patience is Rewarded…We Think; Lic. Becerra Gets His Boda; M & M Find Consolation in Each Other; and DanCam Become the Power Couple What Am


Gran Final Hour 2 - Parte 1
Capítulo #167

Lo Del Pasado:

When we'd last left DanCam and their posse, Dionisio had just called Daniel to negotiate with him over getting his baby daughter in exchange for his night of passion with Camila and the relinquishing of the ownership of La Malquerida. Camila had decided to help save his baby daughter by giving into Dio’s demands, though Daniel had absolutely forbidden it. Juarez gave them a workable game plan then to avoid Camila’s acceding to Dio’s obscene desires and demands.

Lo Del Nuevo:

At the hospital the ER doctor comes out and announces to Dan that Miriam is a bit up tight but she’s been given something to calm her down. Dan immediate asks about the aneurysm. The long awaited QTH? moment arrives as Dan explains why he’s confused and ER Doc informs them both and--of course--the entire waiting room of concerned friends and family that Miriam doesn’t have any aneurysm whatsoever and never did! ER Doc says he just did another battery of brain tests and is certain of it, in fact.

At the same time, Omar comes in to report to Dio in his hide-out that Issa had a run in with Leoncio who not only burned her hands to nubbins with acid, but also cut her tongue out like she’d done to him. The two share a couple of evil yuk-yuks over her inability now to speak and to ever testify against him or anyone else again. (Cara de muy disturbed de Viewerville. The only thing missing on Omar was a tinier tail, another pitchfork, his own set of horns!)

In the women’s prison’s clinic, Issa receives medical attention and then is released into the general population where, we note, she is dressed now in chic-est of prison dowdy. (Can’t help but wonder if those burned stumps will keep her from doing work assignments.) Issa overhears two inmates discussing how she’d murdered a priest, her own kid, and tried killing her new hubby, plus had planned on selling his ranch out from under him. They laugh at her being harmless now after being maimed [manca=handless, armless, legless, one-armed/one-legged….], delenguanated, and raped. She turns away from them and tears roll down her cheeks. (Viewerville slugs down a double shot of reposado and cheers. ¡Salud! Leoncerdo came through for us after all.)

Back in the hospital waiting area, Dan ‘n Cam deduce that Dr. Valtierra’s false diagnoses had to be Dio’s doing. Mariano suggests a case of blackmail or bribing Dr. Valtierra to get him to lie. ER Doc tells them if they want to lodge a complaint against him, feel free. “—Heck, yeah we’re going to lodge a complaint!!” Amanda and Osvaldo show up asking about Mir and the baby just as Dio calls back on Dan’s cell. Dan follows Juarez’s advice to refuse Cam as part of the deal since Dio has to hand over the M.Q. to Estevez in twenty-four hours or else. He puts the call on speaker and everyone there hears his demands to exchange the kidnapped baby for Cam and the M.Q.. Dan forces Dio to back down and to agree to accept only La Malquerida in exchange for Baby Aggie cuz he will not allow Cam to be part of the deal, period. However, Cam must drive the money there by herself and not dare contact the police! Dan insists afterwards that he’s going along for the ride to protect Cam anyway.

There is a removal of Little Orchid's shirt, we on the Patio are screaming at Little Orchid not to do this, and Gringo is yelling the loudest! Unfortunately, Little Orchid can't hear us. Little Orchid stops him again and tells him she just can't, her parents could just walk in, she doesn't live here alone! Roller Boy doesn't care, lets just get busy, er not that, but you get the drift. He removes her outer shirt. More kissing. Little Orchid does have on her little T-shirt. He is bound and determined to have Little Orchid, and she finally tells him, she is afraid, never done this before, in other words she uses the V word. That's right she's a Virgin. She swears it's the truth! He decides they won't be doing it after all, and hey when she "sorts through this problem" give him a ringy dingy, hands her a chocolate, ya know the ones he brought her, and goes. Little Orchid eats her chocolate, and Roller Boy glances back at the door. He is so not beleiving she is a Virgin, but darn it he likes her so much! He is about to go in again, changes his mind and goes.

Porque el Amor Manda #25: Forget Avon; Chucho’s Place is the New Belly-Button of the Universe


We open on Chucho looking gobsmacked at the size of the dinner bill. The maître d’ says pay up or he’s calling the police! At the mention of the P word, Chucho blanches and begs to be allowed to work off his bill. The maître d’, recognizing that a man who does dishes is worth more than his weight in gold, agrees.


Meanwhile, the thug team gets tired of waiting for their prey to appear and goes up to the restaurant to look for him. Since he’s nowhere in sight, they assume he went out a back door and decide to deliver the medicine to him at his place.

Valentina gets picked up by a nice lady taxista. She tries calling home, but no one answers, so they drive around looking for landmarks. Val recognizes the purple towers of Avon and off they go. The guards bring her to Alma, and Alma decides to take her to…Chucho’s house!

Meanwhile, the police grill Vero and find out about Val’s two dads. Since Elías doesn’t actually live anywhere at the moment, they all head for Chucho’s house, too. Zowie. I hope he has enough jelly-glasses.

Finally Jesús arrives home and who should he see on his doorstep but…no, not the thugs…no, not Vero…not Alma, either…it’s Elías, looking the worse for wear after his long evening of goat-and-beer juggling, and with chicharrones the size of Frisbees stuffed into all his pockets. Chucho takes him inside for coffee and boy talk, but they are surprised by the masked thugs, and a FISTFIGHT ensues. (Got bingo?) Now would be a good time for the police to arrive, or even Alma, who probably has a decent left hook, but no – it’s Chatita with a knitting needle and a chamber pot! She clocks the thugs but good, then literally kicks them while they’re down. Much is made of Malvino’s tattoo.

Now the police pull up with sirens blaring (apparently the new protocol for apprehending non-custodial parents.) The thugs run off, and Verónica takes over the abuse. Chatita convinces the police to take Jesús to the hospital, as he is starting to swoon. They insist on admitting him, and with HOSPITALIZATION OF GALÁN, Blue Lass and R la O have bingo in column 5, card 8! (But don’t despair, fellow binguistas – in the previews it looks as if he takes a turn for the worse, so DOCTOR TELLS FAMILY PATIENT COULD DIE may not be far behind. And of course we all have high hopes for DERAILED WEDDING.)

In other news:

- Alma, Valentina and Chatita arrive at the hospital as well, where the princess is reunited with the Wicked Witch, I mean, her mother.

- Rogue checks up on the thugs, who tell him they got a few shots in but Jesús was with a whole gang of armed and savage huns and they were lucky to escape with their lives.

- Fernando finally lures Jessiquita over to his wild & crazy bachelor pad, but the whole scenario is cut short when Rogue summons him back to the office. Yawn. Does anyone care if either one of these two ever gets lucky, ever?

Amores Verdaderos #107 Thu 4/11/13 The Pot, The Kettle and the Mysterious DVD


Ballsvanera Mansion-The Help’s Dining Area: Guzman is all bummed out about Nikki. Adrianna “happens” to be walking through the kitchen because none of the other narcissistic members of Ballsvanera clan have the time or the desire to listen to her whine anymore. She will go someplace where people are paid to care and kiss her behind no matter what. She overhears Polita and Guzman talking about his pitiful love life. Perfect. It’s his break time and she will hold him hostage. Hearing that Guzman is weak, crying and defenseless, Adriana tells Polita that she needs to speak with Guzman. This is the great time to butt in and make the conversation about her. Adrianna asks Guzman to recommend a detective. He says he’ll make a few calls. Guzman looks so sad. She asks him a couple of questions about himself as to not appear so self-absorbed and heartless. “Who’s the chick that you’re in love with Guzman?” Make it quick, we’ve got me to think about.

Arriaga Apartment: Christina tells her daughter to stop freakin’ over the separation. Disney Princess Lilly acknowledges that at times she might over act over react when placed in stressful situations. Christina compares her happiness to how Princess Lilly feels working in the greenhouse. They agree to a movie date later on that night.
Ballsvanera Mansion-The Help’s Dining Area: Adrianna’s already bored. This conversation isn’t about her; however, she continues to feign concern for her “friend”. Little does she know, Guzman is secretly seething over her butting her big nose in to his conversation with Polita and using up his breaktime. At first, Guzman politely tries telling her to stay out of his business. “It’s not worth talking about her, it’s a hopeless love,” he says. Adriana continues to pretend to care. She gives him the standard cookie-cutter, dumped lover’s pep talk. Chin up! You’re a good person with a great personality! You’ll find someone who loves you! At his weakest point, Guzman falls for her B.S. and practically writes Nikki’s name on a piece of paper and hands it to Adrianna. 1. She’s engaged. 2. She’s rich. 3. She’s blond. 4. She’s bulimic. 5. She’s related to you. 6. She lives in this house. Adrianna doesn’t pick up on his subtle hints because well…this conversation is not about her.

Ballsvanera Mansion-Victoria’s Office: Arriaga just can’t keep his hands off of Victoria! He gropes her under the guise of “helping her” walk. Arriaga pulls her body tightly into his. Horny and loving the feel of his hard body against hers, Victoria grips the front of her belly and moans (this so that he will press her closer to him). I know that trick! I invented that trick! Suddenly, Nelson enters the room and sees his wife and her bodyguard stuck together like dogs taking care of business. Nelson calls his wife a hussy. He now knows why she doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore. She’s traded him in for the bodyguard! Victoria begs the two men not to fight. Arriaga grabs Nelson and manhandles him. Hearing the commotion, Tomasina flies into the room and joins the ruckus. Vicky pulls the “I’ve gotta a gunshot wound” card, and collapses, sobbing in Tomasina’s arms. After seeing the stress they are causing Victoria, the men separate. Nelson goes into the foyer and slams some Whiskey. Meanwhile, Arriaga apologizes to Victoria. Victoria doesn’t understand what’s mentally wrong with Nelson. She asks Arriaga to leave her alone with Tomasina.

Ballsvanera Mansion-One of the Living Rooms: Nelson is in the living room gettin’ full (drunk) when Arriaga departs from Victoria’s office. Arriaga marches right up to Nelson. “We’ve got to talk!” Nelson shuts the double doors so that Vicky won’t hear him cuss out Arriaga. Nelson tells Arriaga that he’s nothing but an employee. Arriaga agrees, but warns Nelson not to insult Victoria again. Nelson steps back and takes a gulp of booze. Again, Nelson accuses them of getting busy. Arriaga assures Nelson that Victoria is faithful and reminds Nelson of his infidelity. The two men stare each other down. Arriaga ends the pissing contest by leaving the room. Bottoms up! Nelson drains his glass.

Ballsvanera Mansion-Living Room: Oh, my! Victoria has the vapors! Her hair looks fantastic! Her granny shoes, not so much. She lies on the couch while Tomasina holds her hand. She can’t believe that Nelson hurt her after 25 years of marriage. Tomasina advises Victoria to hook up with Arriaga. Victoria says they can’t because they would hurt other people. Tomasina tells Victoria to fire Arriaga, otherwise, there going to end up in bed together. Victoria says that she needs to see Arriaga every day or she’ll die.

Ballsvanera Mansion-The Help’s Dining Area: An egocentric Ballsvanera continues to obliviously impede on Guzman’s personal time. Wisely, Guzman fakes his appreciation and thanks Adrianna for sucking up most of his break time. With only a minute left of his break, Nikki strolls in and announces that it’s time to leave. She has a therapy session and then she’s going to shopping for wedding dresses. Adrianna tells Nikki not to hire a photographer. As a wedding gift, Adrianna will take the photos. Nikki’s seen Adrianna’s crappy photos and says that Adrianna can take photos to supplement the professional wedding photographer. Nikki’s happy about the family all being together again.

Kendra’s Apartment: Odd-ette asks Kendra how the divorce plot is coming along. In her opinion, the Brizzes look happier that ever! Their demise is not happening quickly enough. She knows that Nelson is supporting Kendra because of the baby. She tells Kendra not to get too confident just because she knocked up. Kendra informs her that she will be the Maid of Horror…excuse me, Maid of Honor at Nikki’s wedding. Odd-ette is not impressed. She calls Kendra obtuse. She tells Kendra to make out with Nelson at the wedding. Kendra doesn’t want to ruin the wedding because it would piss her coveted family off. I think that getting knocked up by the bride’s father is also frowned upon, but who am I to judge?

Meta Imagen-Office of Allotta Ballsvanera: Anibals asks Gilda the Sn/B/W/itch for his daughter’s identity. Gilda says that she doesn’t know a damn thing and then runs out of the room.

Bedroom de Allotta Ballsvanera: Adrianna makes Tomasina help her search Anibal’s bedroom for evidence about the baby.

Kendra’s Apartment: Nelson complains to his mistress that his wife is having an affair. Yes! That’s what I said. In Nelson’s opinion, they were about to kiss when he found them in the office. Kendra pretends to play “devil’s advocate”. Kendra strokes his ego (and a few more areas) by telling him that she can’t believe that Victoria would choose a bodyguard over Nelson. Kendra declares her love for him. They make out.

Meta Imagen-Hallway: Double Agent Gilda the Sn/W/B/itch is debriefing Paula on her conversation with Nelson. She begs Paula not tell Anibal that she knows all about his daughter situation.

Kendra’s Apartment: Kendra and Nelson are still making out. Kendra stops because Christina is on her way. Besides, she’s not in the mood. She’s got a headache and it’s a big turn off when the man you’re sleeping spends his time with you crying over his wife humping another man. After Nelson leaves, Kendra tells her flat belly that it’s time for Nelson to learn her version of “the truth”.

Pavia House: Roy has a sugar mama and his father cannot be prouder. He shows his parents his plane tickets and hotel reservations paid for by Nikki. Father advises son to gain Anibal’s trust so that he can get more cash. Mom feels guilty, but not guilty enough to tell Vicky what’s going on. She’s afraid that the Ballvaneras will cancel the wedding if they find out the Pavia’s are bankrupt. Roy says they won’t because no other bozo will put up with a bulimic chick.

Bridal Shop: Nikki’s trying on wedding dresses. She thinks she’s a cow. She asks for Guzman opinion. He tells her not to marry Roy and immediately rams his tongue down her throat. I think he likes the dress. Maybe he’ll tell us how he feels about the dress when his lips are finished.

Bedroom de Allotta Ballsvanera: Victoria’s lungs are working fine. Rather than investing in an intercom like other normal filthy rich people, she bellows out Tomasina’s name. Tomasina hurries out the room, while Adrianna continues the search. Adrianna finds a picture of young Candelaria hidden in a book.

Bridal Shop: We can only assume that Guzman is enjoying the dress. He lips are still busy. At first Nikki returns his kisses, but she finally realizes we are watching. Nikki breaks the kiss. We’re Sgt. Schultz declares the sales ladies. “We see nothing and are hoping for a very large commission. At that point, Guzman declares his love and begs her not to marry Roy. I LOVE A BEGGING MAN! IT IS SO SEXY! Guzman tells the sales chicks to leave them alone. As soon as they are gone, he continues to plead! Nikki almost gives in, but she recalls Kendra’s (that bitch!) warnings about Guzman being an opportunist. Nikki tells Guzman that she would never marry him. Nikki slaps Guzman and calls the sales chicks back into the room. They return carrying disinfectant and wearing gloves (well, that’s what I would have done after seeing them pawing each other).

Ballsvanera Mansion: Obviously Victoria is faking it. She only grabs her side when Arriaga is around to physically support her. She leans against him as he walks her over to the couch. She’s such a skank! She asks Tomasina to prepare some tea and take it to the bedroom. Tomasina knows that code for leave me alone with Arriaga. As soon as Tomasina leaves the room, Vicky “attempts” to stand, thus prompting Arriaga to reach out and grope her again. Dammit, I know that trick. I taught her that trick. Her lips are saying that they can’t be together, but her eyes are saying….I sent Tomasina to get some tea and to take it to the the bedroom.

Meta Imagen-Nelson’s Office: Nelson is still pissed about his wife’s affair. Yes! For real! He’s bitching to Salsero about it. He tells Salsero to find a new body guard for Victoria. Salsero tells him that he should discuss it with Vicky first. Bea knocks on the door and brings in a package.

Balvanera Mansion: Vicky and Arriaga are talking in the sitting room near the stairs. They discuss what would have happened had they met 25 years ago. Tomasina brings the tea and sets it down. Immediately, Vicky tells Tomasina to go with her to the bedroom. Once again, Vicky “attempts to stand” and Arriaga reaches out to grope…I mean assist her. Arriaga doesn’t take the coy “hint” about afternoon tea in her bedroom and asks for permission to go visit his wife.

Meta Imagen-Nelson’s Office: Nelson opens the package. It’s a DVD. The weird looking photographer’s assistant knocks on the door. There’s something going on with a client. Nelson puts the disc in the computer. Nelson tells the assistant to go to the meeting room. Nelson tells Salsero to roll with him to the meeting room just in case something is about to go down in there.

Arriaga’s Apartment: Roy calls Disney Princess Lilly. She lies (her crown is tilting again) and tells him that she lives alone.

Kendra’s Apartment: Arriaga knocks on the door. He wants to talk to his wife. Christina looks surprised that her husband came to beg her to take him back…like she wanted him to do. Kendra excuses herself to eavesdrop in another room. Arriaga tries to take his wife to someplace private, but she refuses to leave. She’s working. Arriaga tells Christina that he’s afraid of losing her. He cries and tries to kiss her. She resists and turns away. When Kendra thinks that Arriaga might prevail, she interrupts the conversation. She praises Christina for being strong. Christina reveals that Kendra is knocked up when Arriaga starts yelling at Kenda. Christina gives Arriaga the boot, but breaks down and sobs when he leaves. Women! You guys are crazy! Kendra tells her that she did the right thing.

Balvanera Mansion-Victoria’s Slumber Party: Carlos Gonzalez is the love of Victoria’s life. Victoria, Doris, Adrianna and the slutty friend are chilling on the bed. Adrianna realizes that Anibal broke up Victoria and Carlos too. The slutty friend offers information about Carlos, but Victoria isn't interested. Vicky says that the kids need to get to know each other better. Doris is broke, so she thinks those kids know each other well enough.

Arriaga’s Apartment: Roy arrives with a chocolate and wine that he purchased with Nikki’s money. He and Disney Princess Lilly make out. I’ve never seen a Disney princess make out before the ring. Wait…I take that back. Snow White and Sleeping Beauty (those tramps) pretended to be unconscious so that they could get some tongue action from Prince Charming.

Paula’s Apartment: Anibal has stopped by to manhandle Paula. He wants to know about if the rumors about his daughter her true.

Arriaga’s Apartment: I’ve never heard of a Disney Princess who goes to third base before she gets the ring! Wait! Snow White shacked up with several different men before marriage and Belle lived with Beast. Disney Princess comes to her senses and pushes him away. He tries to loosen her up with some wine. It’s working.

Paula’s Apartment: Typical of a Balvanera, Anibal thinks Paula making up stories about him having another kid because he won’t marry her. He threatens to take away her apartment. She reminds him that they were part of her separation package when he had her son fire her on his PTO day. He demands that she stop making up stories or reveal his kid’s identity. She says that she’ll tell the kid first and let the kid decide if she wants to reach out to him. He says that if she messes with him, he’ll learn who she really is.

PEAM # 24- Goodbye Avon, On to Bigger and Better Things and An Escape from the Bubble!

At Avon-
Xochy and Alma are chatting about Jesus and how she asked him if he was in love with Alma and he said that it was professional.
Valentina lets her mommy have it- she is always reprimanding her Papa Elias and she will never see Papa Jesus, it’s her mom’s fault.

Xochy lets Chucho know that she is in love with him.  She has loved him since the first time she laid eyes on him.
Rogue is discussing the food and wine list for the wedding reception.  Alma could care less.
Chucho is impactado, he had no idea and he tries to let Xochy down easy.  She knows by his facial expression that she is not his type.  Sorry, forget about it.  They will TRY to get to know each other better but only as friends.   Xochy doesn’t hear the word try (intentar).

At Valentina’s House-
Valentina says goodbye to her Barbie dolls and the giant teddy bear. A distraught Valentina leaves her room.

At Avon-
Xochy is ecstatic, she used Alma’s words and she told him that she was in love with him and Alma of course takes the scene that she saw the wrong way.  Xochy will ask Alma to be her maid of honor if things go as she thinks that they will.  The other secretaries are happy for Xochy while a saddened Alma looks on; they are acting like Xochy got engaged.

At Valentina’s-
Valentina calls Elias on Mommy’s green neon phone.  He answers roughly thinking that it was Veronica.  Val lets him know that she knows what’s going on?  When is he coming home??  He is not sure.  She can’t see her Papa Jesus either, and Papa Elias tells her to be patient while he straightens things out.  He asks her to promise to wait, but she hangs up.


At Avon-
Jesus bids Alma goodbye and thanks her for patience and her support.  She thanks Chucho for his all of his help at work.  He wishes her well in her marriage and will pass by when he can.  They are friends and they share a lovingly long hug.  Pati walks in and notes the affection between them.  Alma tells Pati of Chucho’s new job at Orion and Pati snatches him up and gives him a hug.
Susana lets Chucho know that Rogue is looking for him.
Pati says that Chucho is one-dime piece!! (On a scale of 1-10, he is 100)
Jessica (who never works) is thrilled that Chucho is finally leaving and wants to bid him farewell. She tells Xochy that Chucho is not for her- free advice.  What a beeeaaaachh!

Chucho thanks Rogue for all that he has done for him.  Sarcastically Rogue bids him goodbye.  If he only knew what was waiting for him.

At Valentina’s-
Veronica shrieks to Minerva that Valentina is not in her room.  Vero realizes that Valentina has left.

At Avon-
Fern the male octopus and Jessica are working on each other in his office. He wants her to come over to his house tonight.  She is driving him crazy when she calls him Licenciada.  (Eye rolling time) Before any nookie, she has asked him to call Xochy to his office and give her something to do.
He asked Xochy for some information and its quitting time for her but she has to work late.    Jessica is turned on by his forcefulness. (More eye rolling time)

At Valentina’s-
Since Vero has no one else at home to yell at she starts yelling at Minerva. She demands that Minerva get her purse, because she can’t do anything but order people around and she wants the truth- did she tell Valentina??  Minerva admits that she did. She gets it together and they both go out to look for Valentina.  Vero is such a hypocrite- she always wants the truth- when is going to come clean about her feelings for Jesus??

At Avon-
Chucho bids Fern goodbye.  Fern feigns being busy and Chucho tells him that he doesn’t do anything but play solitaire and surf the net, going to prohibited sites.
Pati notes that something is amiss with Alma.  Today is Chucho’s last day and she is a little sentimental.
Fern keeps throwing the “g” word around and Chucho snatches him up and rips him a new one.  He doesn’t slap Fern into next week out of respect for the company.  He warns Fern to watch himself because in life there is poetic justice and karma is bitch!
Pati is wasting Alma’s time (does she do anything else but shop, screw, work out and sleep??) in trying to find out Alma’s real feelings for the secretary.
Chucho sadly leaves the building while Joe Bananas and Jimmy Nostrils
aka Silverio and Malvino are watching him.
Alma is not sure what she feels, admiration, affection or what???  Alma is talking about on a professional level and asks Pati to grow up.  Pati is all over him at the gym.  Pati is single and can feel what she wants but Alma is taken.
Alma tries to convince herself that she loves Rogue. (I am ready to fast forward this scene)
Pati tells Alma that she can’t fool herself.
She loves her friend.  (With a friend like Pati, who is sleeping with her man, why would she need enemies?
A pensive Chucho hears voices calling him, while Silverio and Malvino are flowing him.

Outside of the Avon Office-
The four Stupids (which now include Jessica) invite Chucho to a farewell dinner.  They don’t want him to leave on a bitter note.  Chucho doesn’t hold any grudges.  Malvino and Silverio are as confused ever and decide to follow. It’s going to be an unforgettable dinner.

At Avon-
As usual Pati is the female octopus counterpart, who is all over Rogue in his office.  Rogue wants to know exactly what Alma said and thinks about Jesus.  Pati tells him about the passionate good-bye hug that Alma and Jesus shared. 


At Valentina’s-
A frantic Vero is still screaming and is desperate to find Valentina.  She and her green neon phone try to call Elias and she has to leave a message.   It’s his fault that Valentina left, and she thanks him, sarcastically .  She tries Jesus’ phone and it goes straight to voice mail.  Val has 2 dads and neither one answers their phone.  Minerva suggests that she call the police.  Vero (with half a brain) calls the police.

At a restaurant-
Elias (like a kid in the candy store) orders a real dinner with nothing bland.  He look orgasmic as he is eating and eating and eating whatever he feels like.  The most greasy dishes that they had lamb, tortillas, with hot sauce guacamoles, pork, beef, chicken, skins, tacos, the sweetest dessert-chocolate cake, tequila and 2 beers, etc.  (All of the Vero forbidden foods) The waiter and Viewerville look on in amazement.

In the park-
Valentina is at the park and gets frightened by a barking dog, named Diablo.  She starts to cry.

At the restaurant_
The four Stupids arrive at the restaurant and Jesus feels uncomfortable at such an expensive restaurant.  The Stupids are insulted at first but then sit to eat.
Fern calls Jessica and she informs him that she is taking Jesus out to dinner at an expensive restaurant.  She will see him later at his place.

At Avon-
Pati is still at the office; while Rogue wants to tear Jesus from limb to limb Pati is all over Rogue.  Fern interrupts.  Fern congratulates his brother on his good taste.  Fern gives his brother the update on Jesus, who is still alive is having dinner at the

At Marsela’s Shack-
Marsela arrives home to her dad, still in pain) and a home cooked dinner.  Marsela wanted a salad is not hungry and goes to bed.  Her dad repaired the roof and he  finds her expensive purse and wonders how did she get it.

Amor Bravío #165 (Uni 160) Wed 4/10/13 ULTIMOS CAPITULOS “ A Fall to Grace is the Saving Grace From an Obscene Obsession, the Photo Illuminates All Alibis, and the Knock on the Door Opens to Evil on Either Side”


Women’s Prison:  The crowd at on the prison yard is loud and chaotic.  Agustina takes the opportunity to climb the stairs of the water tower undetected. She stands in the dark at the top of the water tower, looks skyward and prays for forgiveness.  She tells the Great Deliverer In the Sky to forgive her – that she is doing this to save Camila from sacrificing her beloved ranch and the dignity of her own body to Demonic Dio.   Looking from the ground up to the tower, the crowd of prisoners watches horrified, as Agustina hurls herself from the top of the tower to the ground below.  The prisoners watch her fall to her demise, stunned into silence.   The yard remains silent for one moment longer.  Then all at once, there is a commotion among the prison comrades.  The mother-who-sacrificed-her-freedom-for-her-son prisoner tells the guards to hurry and call for help and call Agustina’s daughter that is what she wanted.  The guards push through the crowd to clear the area and to radio for medical assistance.  A suspicious guard questions the mother-who-sacrificed-her-freedom-for-her-son prisoner if she had knowledge about this in advance.  If so, she scolds her, this tragedy could have been avoided.  Our prisoner replies that this was Agustina’s final wish. She adds that her cellmate Carmela has a letter that Agustina wrote and it is to be delivered immediately to her daughter Camila.  The crowd is being cleared as as Agustina is splayed on the prison yard, blood trickling from her nose and mouth.

Amores Verdaderos #106 Wed 4/10/13 Roy es híper sweet and he'd never ever cheat on me.


In the living room of the Balvanera Mansion, Adriana accepts her father's welcome home embrace while Francisco Guzmán and Victoria look on approvingly.

In the kitchen, Liliana, having just heard the worst news of her life -- the earth has been invaded by a hostile race of aliens and there is no hope for the planet -- goes into HYSTERICS.  What?  Oh.  Sorry.  She has just heard that her parents are splitting.  José Ángel vows to fix the problem -- Lili's ma means everything to him.  And Lili goes home to talk to her ma.  Meanwhile Miss Vikki, left alone with JA, wants the skinny.  What happened?  Before JA can answer, Nikki breezes in, Guzmán in her wake.  She wants to go out clubbing with Roy and some friends. 

Nikki says:  Can I take Super Superman instead of the little gorilla?
Nikki thinks: I can't trust myself to resist Guzmancito's kisses.

Vikki defers to JA who says it's okay with him.  Guzmán frowns and shakes his head slightly.  Nikki flounces out triumphantly, leaving the other three knowing they have been bamboozled once again.

Arriaga Apartment
Cris, Paula and Beatriz are sitting around the table when Liliana bursts in and announces dramatically that her father told her what happened.  Cris jumps up and runs to her daughter.  "Wait ... he told you I wanted us to take some time apart?"  Lili is confused.  "It was your idea?"  Lili thinks her mother is making a big mistake.  Hasn't it occurred to her that this trial separation may end up keeping them apart forever?  Cris says it was a painful decision (Me costó sangre) but she had no other choice.  [Except, of course, not to ask for a separation.  I guess they didn't stress critical thinking skills in the school in the pueblo.]

PEAM # 23: 4/10/13- Veronica Enters Self-Destructive Mode

Recap by: Pablo

After the rain last night, things could not get any worse for Rogelio, when Fernando tells him what ''he saw'' between Alma and Jesús. Now Rogelio has to take a number if he wants to kill Jesús, since there's other people with the same plans.
 
He doesn't know it yet, but in the warehouse, Malvino and his ass-istant choose whatever weapons they will use to erase Jesús from the map.
 
Looks like Jesús is in everybody's mind, and even Verónica confronts Elías in a very nasty way the reasons why he covered for Jesús hiding the truth from her.
 
When Elías tells Verónica she is digging her own grave behaving the way she does, it  is like putting salt on a snail, and she twists and gets defensive, not being able to see the lightpole in her own eyelids. For Elías, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back and takes the offer Verónica makes, when she says, it's either my way or the highway!!

Amor Bravío #164 (Uni 159) Tue 4/9/13 Hissadora flees, Yago gets his comeuppance, and Our Lady in Lavender makes the ultimate sacrifice.


My last recap for this fantastic TeleNovela!!!

A few scenes have been re-arranged for continuity……

BuenaVentura
Hissadora is all ears – she’s just overheard Mariano telling Yago that it’s confirmed. Hissadora has been drugging their Pops!    Ah, but she’s not the only one who heard this.  You’ve heard how walls have ears?  Well, in this case, las cortinas have ears cuz LeoCerdo is standing behind the sheer curtains and has heard everything:  “So you want to kill Cayetano! Mendiga vieja!”  He quickly exits stage right.  Mariano continues, saying they’ve got her because they now have the proof.  Sherlock Juarez and Pablo are on their way.  Hissadora will be arrested for attempted murder.  Hissadora wisely figures it’s time to git while the gittin’s good.  She can’t figure out how those “estupidos” found out about Las Gotas!  As she hastily tiptoes out, LeoCerdo’s shadow is seen behind the curtains following her every step.  Outside, she makes her way to one of the ranch trucks and makes her getaway.  LeoCerdo can be seen in the background running across the drive, carrying a plactic bag that surely carries the Hissadora face treatment.  Hissadora takes off, but he’s right behind her in another truck.  The BV capataz sees it all and goes running back inside to raise the alarm.

He confirms that she was looking him in the eyes when she said it, "but you probably thought I was Rogelio," he adds.

Alma is horrified and apologetic. She asks Chucho not to tell Rogelio. (As if!) They synchronize their stories since Rogue will want to know what she did last night. "We'll leave out 'I love you' and the kiss," Chucho says.

Alma nearly does a spit-take with her coffee. "What kiss? Where did I kiss you??"
"In the living room!"
"No, I mean on what part of your body?"
