Amores Verdaderos #125 Tue 5/7/13 After a long wait, it finally happens.
Amores Verdaderos Cap 125, 5-7-13—After a long wait, it finally happens.
And I'm not just thinking of Nikki and Guzman. The fight between the Furry Fornicator and Big Angel was a long time coming too!
Lo siento, I'm starting to get behind with my novela watching. It'll be a while before the whole recap is up. Video cap is waiting to be processed. (I still need to watch tonight's episodes of Fernando the Secretary and Jorge the Mariachi Singer . . .)
A brief summary, to get the discussion rolling. May not be entirely accurate and is not in order. MORE TO COME LATER!
* Nikki has a hot wedding night, just not with her husband. Guzman, our Little Ape, is the lucky recipient of her favors. A glow filter is used liberally during the love scenes. Undoubtedly Univision edited the scene heavily, but I haven't seen the unedited version so I can't verify. Nikki tells the Little Ape that she loves him, much to his joy.
* Salsa Dude comes to the rescue. A lawyer is going to try to get Beatriz out on bail. She is beside herself with dispair when she finds out that Leo the Low has taken little Guillo. Guillo calls for his mother as he sleeps in Leo the Low's hideout.
* Big Angel confronts Kendra-Ho and wants her to fess up about being the baby-momma of the Furry Fornicator's pending offspring. He doesn't want Vicki to be left in the dark about what's going on (like she was for too long about the FF's infidelity).
* During post-coital bliss, Nikki tells the Little Ape that this is goodbye, she's gotta do what she's gotta do, i.e. loveless marriage to Roy the Boy. What. Ever. We all know, via Telenovela Law, that the Little Ape has probably planted the seeds of a Baby Little Ape in her womb (not a spoiler, just my guess). So we know this is all just a tactic to stretch out this storyline for an extra 20 episodes or so. The Little Ape tries to get Nikki to tell him what exactly did Kendra-Ho say about him to convince her (Nikki) that he was such a scoundrel? Nikki thought-bubbles about the fake gigolo web page, but given that we need to stretch this show out for 20 episodes, heaven forbid Nikki just TELL the Little Ape specifically what evidence Kendra-Ho had against him. Because had she done that, we would have cleared a lot of this B.S. up, and we can't have that, can we?
* Roy the Boy discovers our couple in an embrace, half-dressed. He is outraged and demands that Nikki go with him now. The Little Ape begs Nikki to stick with him. Roy the Boy's threats of embarrassment (let's let grandpa know) prompts Nikki to tearfully go with Roy the Boy, much to The Little Ape's sad dispair.
* The Furry Fornicator sees Big Angel leave the Kendra-Ho's room, gets all up in Big Angel's face about it, says he doesn't want Big Angel near the Ho OR Vicki! This leads to a tussle between these two men, started by the FF who tries to cold cock the Big Angel. Not a good move, since Big Angel KICKS HIS ASS. AWESOME. Oh, it was a thing of beauty. Screenshots to follow. Right after the altercation, Big Angel apologizes to a sputtering, red-faced FF for losing it.
* The Little Ape laments to Big Angel later about his woes. "Nikki told me she loved me!" he cries. "I would do anything—anything—to have her with me!" he declares. Big Angel commiserates. Big Angel alludes to his relationship with Vicki, and his efforts to not lose control. By "control" he means not beating the crap out of the FF. The Little Ape was clearly thinking of another kind of "control," like the kind of control he and Nikki finally lost that very night.
* Roy the Boy insists that Nikki leave with him ASAP. They leave in the middle of the night. Nikki leaves a note with her mom. The next morning, the Little Ape is upset because he was supposed to escort her to the airport.
* Lily spies Roy the Boy and Nikki departing in the middle of the night. Lily has tears in her eyes.
* At the airport, Roy the Boy and his blushing bride are waiting at a diner somewhere. Roy the Boy castigates Nikki for being an unfaithful slut and trash talks her. WHAT. A. DOUCHE. End of episode.
AVANCES: Look interesting. They make it look like the Ho will finally confess having the Furry Fornicator's bun in her oven. MUST SEE TV!
And I'm not just thinking of Nikki and Guzman. The fight between the Furry Fornicator and Big Angel was a long time coming too!

PEAM, Tuesday 5/7/13 (#42): Tomorrow is another day. Another stupid one.
Vero's face looms ever closer to Chucho's. He doesn't push her away, but he doesn't lean forward, either. He seems paralyzed with reluctance: he can't afford to let her do this, but he can't afford not to, either.
Only his eyelids flicker, blinking furiously, perhaps signalling SOS or some other distress message:
MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY. THIS IS JESUS GARCIA. MAYDAY, THIS IS JESUS GARCIA AT CHATITA'S CHRISTMAS TREE. OSCULATION IMMINENT. REPEAT, OSCULATION IMMINENT. DOZENS OF HOPES ALREADY SINKING. REQUEST ANY AID POSSIBLE. LOOK FOR MAN IN SUIT WITH ALBATROSS, ER, WOMAN, HANGING AROUND HIS NECK. OVER.

Amores Verdaderos #124 Mon 5/6/13 The loser husbands talk too much... Sad new bride drinks (vs eats) away her blues, then rolls in hay with beloved... Guillo needs a new dad.
We rejoin the ‘not-so-happy-ever-after couple’ in the middle of the dance floor dancing to the Nikki-Gorilita theme song… For some reason the groom leaves the bride alone right in the middle of the dance floor in the middle of the song… (did he have to make another call to Liliana or sing his own blues to his trainer again?) Nikki turns and finds herself lasered to Gorilita’s eyes, who seem to be full of pain. She begins to walk toward him and slowly change from dragged out look to smiling… but just when she is about to reach Gorilita, the groom from doom comes back and steps in between them and walks her away. Our Gorilita looks like he really needs a hug from someone… (anyone! Tomasina! Polita! JM!!)
Paula has called Felipe nervous, she can’t locate Bea or Guillo. Felipe has not heard of them either. Have called her cell phone but got voice mail. This is not her, Guillo goes to sleep early, she never takes this long to come home.
In jail, we have some of the other women felons bothering Bea and end up taking her sweater and shoes. She tells them why she is there, accused of theft, and that what worries her is her son who was taken to a holding place. They remind/tell her she has the right to make one phone call. The women make enough noise at the cell door to get the guard to come over. She needs to make a call! The guard says you will have to wait until the change of shift. Can tell the women are fond of Bea, or at least are giving her the benefit of the doubt and feel for her situation with Guillo.
OMG!!! How low can Leo go?? Guillo asks where going. It’s a surprise. Guillo does not want to leave mom behind. Leo says me either (Liar!!) Leo tells Guillo that Bea is in jail and that she is telling the cops that Guillo was the one that put the necklace in her purse and now the police are looking for him!! Guillo denies it. Leo says Bea is saying that so they will let her go. (Leo’s mom signals to Leo that she does not agree with all the craplies he is filling Guillo’s head with) Have to go far away so the cops won’t find you. Grandma can only reassure Guillo that everything will be alright.
Gorilita finds Not-so-happy bride drinking alone in living room. She jokes about him trying to find out if she is eating her blues. Not really. ‘Tu cool y yo fresh!’ (LOL!) Cheers! Toasting alone to my happiness. Gorilita tells her from here on I won’t be on you for anything. From here on out its your husband’s duty to watch out for you. She says he is a tennis player, not a bodyguard. He says that is your problem. He came to say goodbye. He approaches her and caresses the side of her face (OMG, her braided hair and her flower head piece are to die for! So lovely on her!!) He is about to kiss her but pulls back. She says don’t stop. It’s the last time we’ll be together like this. With a very pained face and tone, he says I wish you well. Teary eyed she thanks him. He walks away totally devastated as Anyballs, Nil-Brains and Vicky arrive. They came to congratulate her on her ‘choice’. She thanks Anyballs for the wedding. It was ‘del top’. Nil-Brains does not want to see tears. This should be the happiest day of your life. Suddenly Polita comes to tell them the guests are waiting to say goodbye. Nil-Brains heads over there to deal with them. Anyballs hawls Nikki away for a walk. Vicky tells Gorilita that she knows all this has been so hard on him. She says maybe Angel should watch Nikki from here on. Gorilita says no need. I will see her to the airport. Vicky repeats to Gorilita that she would have wanted for him to be her son in law.. (awwwww!!) Vicky leaves with Angel… So sad Gorilita walks over to table and holds the glass Nikki was drinking from.
Felipe and Paula still making a hole in the carpet pacing around… She mentions that Bea told her on phone that Leo had left an envelope with the guard at door. Phone rings. It is Bea with the bad news: 1. I am detained at police, 2. They took Guillo to a safe house, 3. Please call Santino, sure he can help. Paula and Felipe will go get Guillo right now. Bea is so worried about him, must be really scared.
Back to B house garden, Vicky tells Angel that last night she barely slept, she was caressing Nikki’s hair. Angel guesses right, that it was a way to say goodbye. She confirms. From today on, she stops being my dear child to be Roy’s wife. Angel says and it is worse knowing she is going overseas. Vicky says her biggest wish is that Nikki will be happy. You know, my marriage was a failure. The only good thing I got from there was my daughter. Don’t want my daughter to go through same. Vicky shows Angel a text message she got on her cell phone. ‘Congrats, your husband will be a daddy!’ who could have sent this? Vicky is appaled that Nil-Brains not only has a mistress, but he got her pregnant!! (just like if called with the mind, Nil-Brains comes to them) Of course NB approaches with insults about the ‘lovers needing intimacy’ (Angel gets on NB’s face but Vicky pleads him not to take the next step). NB tells Vicky she should give in to Nikki marrying Roy, and tells Angel that Vicky would have wanted for Nikki to cancel her wedding 5 minutes before time, just like she never had the guts to do back then. I am sure she has told you her romantic story. Vicky has had enough.
V: Speaking of romantic stories, why didn’t you tell me your mistress is expecting your child?? (showing him the phone with the text message, taking him totally aback)
Of course NilBrains denies denies. Can’t believe in an anonymous, must be a bad taste prank. NilBrains mentions the video that he had about her and Angel that someone stole. And she had denied denied it.
V: Nil-Son, this is the drop that overflowed the cup! I demand the divorce!!
Nil-Brains claims that if the day comes that HE wants to split from her, it will be on HIS terms.
Vicky leaves in a huff and of course NilBrains questions Angel if he sent her the text message. Angel very firmly says no. He would be incapable of causing her that pain. NilBrains calls him a coward. Angel says no I am no coward. Why don’t you ask KenDrat? Maybe she knows what you are talking about. Don’t you think? (that leaves Nil-Brains thinking and worried)
We find the not-so-happy-groom whinning his blues to Omar, his friend. RoyFoyToy says his wedding day seems like a funeral. Then he spots Liliana and Polita sitting in front of him. Liliana starts to walk away, but he calls her to stay, have to talk to you, Everything I have told you is true, I love you. Never felt for anyone else what I feel for you. Liliana can’t believe him. Liar! Leave me alone and go care for your wife!! He pleads with her that his marriage is a farse. Things could have been so different! I had a commitment by the time I met you! My parents pressured me with their financial problems! Liliana can only get that he is an ambitious money-hungry brat. A sell-out! Don’t look for me again! Liliana walks away and Polita also gives him a piece of her mind.
A very angry Nil-Brains goes to KenDrat’s room and nags at her, did you dare send Vicky that text message?? (KD is shocked, or is she faking it? We know better) She denies denies. Why would do it if you will marry me?? Nil-Brains says Vicky can’t relate him to KenDrat’s pregnancy!! KenDrat plays innocent victim again. What if it was Arriaga?? He is very astute. He is the only one that would gain if Vicky divorced you. Remember he is a widower. Marrying Vicky would be that ranchero’s golden dream come true! He also got you and I fighting! NilBrains shows the few brain cells, he apologizes and walks out. She follows him out and they make the mistake of continuing that conversation holding hands outside her room. Anyballs watches them argue holding hands. Not sure if he is hearing KD ask Nil-Brains to make Vicky for his having put up with her so many years. (How old is NilBrains again?? 7? 8?)
Outside, Angel is telling Dances that he has the duty to guard Vicky’s safety but also her state of mind. And this anonymous message made her very tense and worried. Dances says they both know who sent it. KenDrat is dying for Nil-Brains to divorce and marry her! Dances gets the cell phone call from Paula. He gets worried, he will deal with that right now. He tells Angel what happened to Bea. Angel wants to tell Guzman. Dances says Guzman is not in the mood for more bad news. Angel agrees. Dances will take care of this. What matters is to find out what happened and to get Bea free asap. Angel will stay and deal with the security. Angel comes up with the obvious conclusion. It was Leo. Dances says if Leo the imbecil canalla is responsible for Bea being in jail, he will kill him.
Nikki’s friends, who are totally wasted, come to Nikki and Roy who are just sitting around sad… RoyToy sends the girls home with Omar his friend. The guests say goodbye. They are left alone. Roy says ‘what a couple we are’. Nikki reminds him before the wedding they confessed they are not in love. Roy asks her why did you marry me? Don’t know, guess I wanted to escape. Roy can guess who from. She asks why did he marry her? He says it seemed the thing to do. Mother says love comes with time. Guess she is right. Lets toast for love to come. (they might as well be toasting to doomsday). He says he is heading to bed. She jokes about him missing his pj’s and slippers. He jokes about her tube/tanks and face full of cream. (after all these two had a reason to smile…)… he walks away deflated. She grabs the bottle and walks away. (with the sad piano/cello music) She looks so unhappy with a face full of tears sitting on the dance floor all alone.
Dances asks Nil-Son to let him leave. Nil-Son denies firmly. I said no. NilSon walks away. Dances talks through teeth.. darn! I will make you pay for this one, NilBrains!.
Outside, Angel is giving Zambrano instructions on how he wants the cars set up. Zambrano leaves. Angel sits on floor tired. Vicky comes by. Tells Angel that her daughter could have changed her mind 5 minutes before, but she did not. Angel says she did not have the guts. Vicky says no, but she had me there to back her up. In my case, I had no one. Angel asks her if she ever saw Carlos again. Did you ever look for him? No. I suppose Carlos never forgave my lack of valour. (aw, this has ‘CARLOS SHOWS UP’ written all over it!) They get talking about the head wanting one thing and the heart another… They are standing face to face… but hands are down.
Anyballs asks Dances about the relationship between Nil-Son and KenDrat. Dances spills the beans, even that KenDrat’s baby is NilBrains child. Dances leaves.. Anyballs whispers… Nilson Brizz…
Paula and Felipe arrive at the children holding place… They wake up the woman in charge, she is nice to them given the fact that it is middle of night. She tells them that Guillo’s dad came to pick him up.
Somewhere on the road Leo stops the car. His mother is nagging at him for filling Guillo’s head with lies about his mother. Leo says it was because Guillo was crying for his ‘madrecita santa’ all the way out. His mom asks aren’t you afraid of what will happen when the truth comes out and Bea accuses him? Leo says these ‘vacations in the jail will be great for Bea, she will come back to me ‘mansita’ (tame,softened).
Bea in jail crying praying that this nightmare will end soon and calling Dances to come help her get out.
Vicky tells Angel he is lucky. In his dark moments he can count on his friend Opalina. Angel says she has always been right in her predictions, except one. She told him he would have a son. And that did not come true. Vicky says maybe in the future you will marry a young woman, marry and have children. Angel is finding it hard to picture that. For him, falling in love is not to replace anyone. But that the heart will have a spot in the other that no one else has been able to fill. And that is what you have done with me. You have taken a spot in my heart and in my life (caresses her face).
Nikki goes to the stables to say goodbye to her horse, she came to say goodbye, she will go far away for a long time. She won’t be with her family… nor with my… nor with Guzmancito. (Guzman comes over) Are you going to be able to live without me? Because I know that not having you I won’t even be able to breathe. I gave my heart to you and even felt that yours felt the same. That is how I now feel as if I am in jail where there is only the pain of not having the woman I love. Losing you is so painful. You can’t imagine what it is like to give up on the love you gambled everything on. (she embraces him and caresses his hair).
NilSon has been summoned by Anyballs. He goes directly to the point about KenDrat and her baby. NilBrains keeps denying. Anyballs won’t argue, just wanted to warn you… if you talk about my daughter, I will force KenDrat to take a DNA test to prove that bastard baby is yours. That will nail you in a divorce proceeding, you will end up poorer than a rat, so think about it before you spill the beans… (having delivered the message, Anyballs leaves quietly, leaving NilBrains deep in thought)
Vicky tells Angel that she was very moved by what he told her. And that he holds a unique spot in her heart, a place no one will fill. Angel says at least we have that consolation. Noone else knows how we feel. At least we were able to contain this lov… this feeling, which is so strong, we could have hurt others. Vicky reminds him that he asked her that they not talk about this (when he came back) He says she brought up the subject when she asked him about Opalina. He feels at ease because he is sure he will never have a son and will never again be in a relationship. She agrees. She is so tired, she doesn’t know she will have the courage to move forward. Angel says she is strong, she has to move on. Vicky keeps talking about the text message. How will I tell Nikki? She has enough worries with her new life. Vicky feels hurt, betrayed. She shared 25 yrs with that man. Good thing you have never been betrayed. Vicky wonders how many people know who is NilBrains’ lover and don’t tell me! In these cases the wife is the last one to find out!!
Back to the stables, she and Gorilita are sitting side by side on hay. Nikki wonders aloud why did so many things have to happen to split us. And there is no shield to protect one against it. He holds her hand gently and kisses it. Nikki talks about buying a GPS that will take them into outer space to go on, but obviously, each one in their own way. He embraces her
Fr: Even if you go far away, I will never forget you. I will not be able to love anyone the way I love you. I will never be able to give my heart away again because it is yours. Your love ripped it from my chest. And now it is not mine, but yours.
N: (sits back up) I am afraid, Frankie. I want to paint my world in water colors and lock myself in it because I don’t know what is awaiting me. I don’t want to leave before I tell you that I am glad you came into my life because thanks to you I knew love. I wish that you will have the life you dreamed about you and me. I wish you to be very happy.
Fr: I can only be happy with you. (stands up sad) because you will take my heart away when you leave.
She takes Roy’s jacket off and stands and walks to him… ok it goes from a sweek kiss to a more heated smooch… suddenly her lace bolero disappears and they are embracing closer, kissing gets hotter, he gets behind her and unzips her dress… kisses her shoulder/neck…
Previews:
Gorilita and Nikki do (or almost do) the deed… Roy comes to stop the fun.
Elsewhere in the house, apparently in Vicky’s room, NilSon and KenDrat are also getting steamy…
But apparently Angel is the one that breaks that ‘magic’ moment shouting that if NilSon keeps disrespecting his wife he will have to deal with Angel. They struggle and Angel slams him to the wall.
Paula has called Felipe nervous, she can’t locate Bea or Guillo. Felipe has not heard of them either. Have called her cell phone but got voice mail. This is not her, Guillo goes to sleep early, she never takes this long to come home.
In jail, we have some of the other women felons bothering Bea and end up taking her sweater and shoes.

Can tell the women are fond of Bea, or at least are giving her the benefit of the doubt and feel for her situation with Guillo.
OMG!!! How low can Leo go?? Guillo asks where going. It’s a surprise. Guillo does not want to leave mom behind. Leo says me either (Liar!!) Leo tells Guillo that Bea is in jail and that she is telling the cops that Guillo was the one that put the necklace in her purse and now the police are looking for him!! Guillo denies it. Leo says Bea is saying that so they will let her go. (Leo’s mom signals to Leo that she does not agree with all the craplies he is filling Guillo’s head with) Have to go far away so the cops won’t find you.

He is the only one that would gain if Vicky divorced you. Remember he is a widower. Marrying Vicky would be that ranchero’s golden dream come true! He also got you and I fighting! NilBrains shows the few brain cells, he apologizes and walks out. She follows him out and they make the mistake of continuing that conversation holding hands outside her room. Anyballs watches them argue holding hands. Not sure if he is hearing KD ask Nil-Brains to make Vicky for his having put up with her so many years. (How old is NilBrains again?? 7? 8?)
Outside, Angel is telling Dances that he has the duty to guard Vicky’s safety but also her state of mind. And this anonymous message made her very tense and worried. Dances says they both know who sent it. KenDrat is dying for Nil-Brains to divorce and marry her! Dances gets the cell phone call from Paula. He gets worried, he will deal with that right now. He tells Angel what happened to Bea. Angel wants to tell Guzman. Dances says Guzman is not in the mood for more bad news. Angel agrees. Dances will take care of this. What matters is to find out what happened and to get Bea free asap. Angel will stay and deal with the security. Angel comes up with the obvious conclusion. It was Leo. Dances says if Leo the imbecil canalla is responsible for Bea being in jail, he will kill him.
Nikki’s friends, who are totally wasted, come to Nikki and Roy who are just sitting around sad… RoyToy sends the girls home with Omar his friend. The guests say goodbye. They are left alone. Roy says ‘what a couple we are’. Nikki reminds him before the wedding they confessed they are not in love. Roy asks her why did you marry me? Don’t know, guess I wanted to escape. Roy can guess who from. She asks why did he marry her? He says it seemed the thing to do. Mother says love comes with time. Guess she is right. Lets toast for love to come. (they might as well be toasting to doomsday). He says he is heading to bed. She jokes about him missing his pj’s and slippers. He jokes about her tube/tanks and face full of cream. (after all these two had a reason to smile…)… he walks away deflated. She grabs the bottle and walks away. (with the sad piano/cello music) She looks so unhappy with a face full of tears sitting on the dance floor all alone.
Dances asks Nil-Son to let him leave. Nil-Son denies firmly. I said no. NilSon walks away. Dances talks through teeth.. darn! I will make you pay for this one, NilBrains!.
Outside, Angel is giving Zambrano instructions on how he wants the cars set up. Zambrano leaves. Angel sits on floor tired. Vicky comes by. Tells Angel that her daughter could have changed her mind 5 minutes before, but she did not. Angel says she did not have the guts. Vicky says no, but she had me there to back her up. In my case, I had no one. Angel asks her if she ever saw Carlos again. Did you ever look for him? No. I suppose Carlos never forgave my lack of valour. (aw, this has ‘CARLOS SHOWS UP’ written all over it!) They get talking about the head wanting one thing and the heart another… They are standing face to face… but hands are down.
Anyballs asks Dances about the relationship between Nil-Son and KenDrat. Dances spills the beans, even that KenDrat’s baby is NilBrains child. Dances leaves.. Anyballs whispers… Nilson Brizz…
Paula and Felipe arrive at the children holding place… They wake up the woman in charge, she is nice to them given the fact that it is middle of night. She tells them that Guillo’s dad came to pick him up.
Somewhere on the road Leo stops the car. His mother is nagging at him for filling Guillo’s head with lies about his mother. Leo says it was because Guillo was crying for his ‘madrecita santa’ all the way out. His mom asks aren’t you afraid of what will happen when the truth comes out and Bea accuses him? Leo says these ‘vacations in the jail will be great for Bea, she will come back to me ‘mansita’ (tame,softened).
Bea in jail crying praying that this nightmare will end soon and calling Dances to come help her get out.
Vicky tells Angel he is lucky. In his dark moments he can count on his friend Opalina. Angel says she has always been right in her predictions, except one. She told him he would have a son. And that did not come true. Vicky says maybe in the future you will marry a young woman, marry and have children. Angel is finding it hard to picture that. For him, falling in love is not to replace anyone. But that the heart will have a spot in the other that no one else has been able to fill. And that is what you have done with me. You have taken a spot in my heart and in my life (caresses her face).
Nikki goes to the stables to say goodbye to her horse, she came to say goodbye, she will go far away for a long time. She won’t be with her family… nor with my… nor with Guzmancito. (Guzman comes over) Are you going to be able to live without me? Because I know that not having you I won’t even be able to breathe. I gave my heart to you and even felt that yours felt the same. That is how I now feel as if I am in jail where there is only the pain of not having the woman I love. Losing you is so painful. You can’t imagine what it is like to give up on the love you gambled everything on. (she embraces him and caresses his hair).
NilSon has been summoned by Anyballs. He goes directly to the point about KenDrat and her baby. NilBrains keeps denying. Anyballs won’t argue, just wanted to warn you… if you talk about my daughter, I will force KenDrat to take a DNA test to prove that bastard baby is yours. That will nail you in a divorce proceeding, you will end up poorer than a rat, so think about it before you spill the beans… (having delivered the message, Anyballs leaves quietly, leaving NilBrains deep in thought)
Vicky tells Angel that she was very moved by what he told her. And that he holds a unique spot in her heart, a place no one will fill. Angel says at least we have that consolation. Noone else knows how we feel. At least we were able to contain this lov… this feeling, which is so strong, we could have hurt others. Vicky reminds him that he asked her that they not talk about this (when he came back) He says she brought up the subject when she asked him about Opalina. He feels at ease because he is sure he will never have a son and will never again be in a relationship. She agrees. She is so tired, she doesn’t know she will have the courage to move forward. Angel says she is strong, she has to move on. Vicky keeps talking about the text message. How will I tell Nikki? She has enough worries with her new life. Vicky feels hurt, betrayed. She shared 25 yrs with that man. Good thing you have never been betrayed. Vicky wonders how many people know who is NilBrains’ lover and don’t tell me! In these cases the wife is the last one to find out!!
Back to the stables, she and Gorilita are sitting side by side on hay. Nikki wonders aloud why did so many things have to happen to split us. And there is no shield to protect one against it. He holds her hand gently and kisses it. Nikki talks about buying a GPS that will take them into outer space to go on, but obviously, each one in their own way. He embraces her
Fr: Even if you go far away, I will never forget you. I will not be able to love anyone the way I love you. I will never be able to give my heart away again because it is yours. Your love ripped it from my chest. And now it is not mine, but yours.
N: (sits back up) I am afraid, Frankie. I want to paint my world in water colors and lock myself in it because I don’t know what is awaiting me. I don’t want to leave before I tell you that I am glad you came into my life because thanks to you I knew love. I wish that you will have the life you dreamed about you and me. I wish you to be very happy.
Fr: I can only be happy with you. (stands up sad) because you will take my heart away when you leave.
She takes Roy’s jacket off and stands and walks to him… ok it goes from a sweek kiss to a more heated smooch… suddenly her lace bolero disappears and they are embracing closer, kissing gets hotter, he gets behind her and unzips her dress… kisses her shoulder/neck…
Previews:
Gorilita and Nikki do (or almost do) the deed… Roy comes to stop the fun.
Elsewhere in the house, apparently in Vicky’s room, NilSon and KenDrat are also getting steamy…
But apparently Angel is the one that breaks that ‘magic’ moment shouting that if NilSon keeps disrespecting his wife he will have to deal with Angel. They struggle and Angel slams him to the wall.

PEAM #41, 05/06/2013 - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? No, No, It's Not Sidney
I haven't had time to visit this blog for a few days. I was conducting two photo exhibits this past weekend so thought I would share the photo that seems to be the favored one this season. These are Los Hermanos de Pura Raza Española, who live in southern France where I met them last autumn.
Refrito; Alma looks sadly at her only picture she has of her brother and her. She blames herself for her brother's death. Her father tries to comfort her and take the blame for the death on himself.
Elias and the yellow footed Mari get out of his car laughing, the sillies pull up to the same bar and also turn the old car over to the parking attendant. Elias and Mari are scooting in past a waiting bevy of beauties. The personnel manager gets a phone calls from his obstreperous mammie or fight over who has the entry fee into the club. For some reason the suited sillies get in past the young hopefuls.
Papi tries to tell Alma that her Rogie is a great man, Alma says yes but Papa is going to tell her something completely honest that no one else knows. Since he had his infarct and heart transplant three years ago he has changed and he is completely in love with Susana from the Avon office. She came to see him often while he was in the hospital in recuperation. He expresses worry over the affection Alma obviously has for Jesús Garcia that is making Rogie so jealous. Papa asks if she is evaluating her choice of Rogie and her reasons for marrying him if she isn't sure of her love. He wonders if she feels something for Jesús. She admits that she does feel something.
Said IRON Chef is preparing the romantic meal and explaining to Chatita that he is planning this to reconcile Veronica and Elias. This will go so well obviously.

Amores Verdaderos #123 Fri 5/3/13 Betty's Dilemma and Acepto o no Acepto?
This recap will not be in order. I have divided the recap in half. First part is Betty's Dilemma and the second part is Acepto o No Acepto dealing with the wedding.
Part One: Betty's Dilemma
We have Betty at the Mall Security office, about to be hauled off to the Delegation. She is very upset and in handcuffs. She begs the officers to call her Mom to pick up Guillo and then to take the cuffs off so she can talk to Guillo. Seems they are taking Guillo to a temporary shelter for children. Betty is very upset and explains to Guillo what is going on. She has to go with these men to explain why that necklace ended up in her purse. As soon as she's done she promises to pick him up. The poor boy is crying this whole time. She tells him she loves him and then they are hauling her off to the Delegation. She keeps asking where they will be taking her son. Of course, there is leo the low, watching as they haul Betty off, it takes two cops cars, really???? Poor Betty isn't a serial bank robber, jus' sayin. Anyhoo, leo is saying there goes his torment and she'll regret the day she was born. Cast Iron Skillet Huge Please for this putz!!!!!!
Betty is now at the Delegation pleading her innocence but the cops tell her then how did that necklace end up in your bag? Facts don't lie in other words. Betty is still swearing she is innocent, it would be a bad example for her son, to steal. The cops aren't buying it, they've seen Mothers use children to steal before, but Betty insists she isn't one of them and someone must have put that necklace in her purse. So now they will take her statement to initiate the investigation and she has 48 hours to find a lawyer, and prove her innocence. If not they decide if she goes to a rehabilitation center (la carcel) in Santa Marta Catitla. Ohhhh, boy. She wants to know when she should be back, uh, she's in custody. Betty is sooo very upset. I hope the putz dies. This is too much for our poor Betty. After she gives her statment they are taking her to la carcel.

Qué Bonito Amor #15 (Mex 22-23.1) Friday 5/3/13 Let the Cat and Mouse Games Begin!
What’s a little
plotting amongst frenemies, right?
Lo del Pasado:
Santos runs into
Maria on the Street and gets balled out for leaving without saying good-bye
first, but he’s sweet talked her out of being mad at him, pretending nothing
like that ever happened, nor would it; Fernando is angry that Santos has not
told Maria the truth yet and Elvira and El Coloso have got a plan to mousetrap
JAntos in a honey trap so that Maria will become angry and break up with him.
Lo Del Nuevo:
JAntos is arguing with Mil Amores about hotfooting it out of the
country and leaving Maria alone in Mexico once his name is cleared at the trial
the next day in L.A. JAntos suddenly is
worried that he’s going to be outed by Mil Amores to Coloso, who catches them
arguing in the dressing room, but at the last second Fernando makes a joke of
the situation. “—Curiosity killed the
cat!” He tells Coloso that it’s between
him and Vargas, period.
At the same time, La Vampira de Elvira struts her stuff into the
bar along with her two BFF’s. They take
a table and she heads to Daddy’s office to get some quick cash for
din-din. She notes his office door is
locked with Mirna and him inside this time.
She knocks. El Concho has to race
to wipe the telltale lipstick off his face.
Elvira’s wise to Daddy’s subterfuge and wheedles the cash from her
papi. Oh, BTW, she mentions to EC, her
car’s been having mechanical problems and they’ll need to take it to the
dealership the next day.
JAntos goes into the guys’ dressing room and gets grief from Coloso
for not coming up with a better excuse than the flu when he decides tos kip
work the next time. They nearly come to
blows over it, but Susanito manages to keep JA from losing it and getting into
fisticuffs over it. Mil walks in then
and gets grief for missing also. He
almost loses it also but one of the guys holds him back. The show must go on and they head out to the
stage for the set. Coloso reminds JAntos
again that he’s low man on the totem pole.
“—Even dogs have breeds [raza=breed, pedigree, race]! I
go out first and you come after me!”
If that weren’t enough, he walks into the hallway and Desira stops
him and whispers sweet nothings into his ear just as Leti walks back from the
stage area. Leti sees the two of them
and gets the wrong idea. She is miffed
and she warns JAntos to be careful and then struts off. Santos wonders if he has a “kick me” sign
stuck on his backside or what.
The set starts and Coloso dedicates the song he’s singing to his
best friend from north of the border.
The song starts and some of the words’ double meaning are directed to
JA. Then to top it off Coloso grabs
Maria and manhandles her, then ends the song with what looks like big smooch on
her mouth from JA’s part of the stage; and Coloso’s done it especially to
aggravate him. Mil Amores sticks his
guitar in JAntos’ way and signals for him to cool his jets and let it go
already, so as not to wreck the show and
get them fired at the same time. It
doesn’t work for long, tho’. Coloso
snickers over the Mike and teases JA.
“—Hey, Jorgito, did you like the song?”
He pulls a Bart Simpson and races around the room when JAntos jumps the
stage, trying futilely to catch the S.O.B.
Santos nearly does, but then he’s frustrated when some fat lady jumps in
the way and starts dancing with him. The
crowd is thrilled and laughing cuz they don’t realize this is not part of the
act.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the city, one of La Vampira de Desira’s
friends disconnects a wire to the battery or something in order to make the car
appear to be broken down. Desira calls
her daddy and whines that she is stuck in the middle of some bad neighborhood
with a broken down car and needs him to send a mechanic. El Concho says he’ll
have to come cuz there’s no way he’ll find one this time of night.
He races into the hall to find Coloso and JA circling each other
for another cock fight. EC tells Coloso
to take the cash and give the employees their pay for him since he’s got to
race off to get his daughter since her car broke down. Coloso immediately suggests that JA can fix
her car and to send him to do it. Concho
tells JA they’d be even Steven for everything if he’d do him that favor for his
daughter and then bring her back home to him safe and sound. Santos doesn’t have a choice. He follows Concho out of the hallway to find
out where she is supposedly stranded.
Coloso giggles to himself. His
plan is working like a charm!
Apparently Rodrigo is worried about getting expelled since he’s
only on probation at this school. He has
a nightmare about it and yells himself awake.
FF>>
In L.A., Com. Derecho calls Lt. Curtis from a sound sleep to remind
her that the trial for Santos’s two buddies is the next morning. How could she forget she asks him. (If you
want more detail, too bad, cuz the scene is so dumb it’s an insult to anybody
with a triple-digit I.Q. and an irritating waste of our time. Yawn.) FF FF>>
Santos’s daddy, Justo, has been Reading through the legal files
that Giuliano El Gusano [the worm] gave him regarding Santos’s case. He has found a couple of contradictions in
Bruno’s statements to the police. Neither
Altagracia nor he think Wendy will testify in Santos’s behalf because she
doesn’t believe her brother is innocent (and, of course, because she still
thinks it was his fault that her wedding had to be cancelled.) Justo would hope she, as his sister, would
stand by Santos. She’s probably backing
up Bruno’s statements any way she can, figures Gracia, cuz “—A woman in love is
capable of doing anything.” (I think
that’s the gist of it?) Wendy is having
second thoughts about which side she’ll take and agreeing to throw her bro
under the bus to save Bruno’s bacon. She
is in bed remembering her conversation with their family attorney and (Viewerville
hopes) guiltily crying her eyes out.
Back in Mexico City, JAntos arrives at the place where Desira and
her buds have been sitting and waiting.
He immediately sees what’s wrong and reconnects the wire. He tells Desira he suspects she was up to
something. The car’s fixed and there
really wasn’t anything wrong with it was there.
Desira admits to being a bit mischievous and then invites him to a party,
but he says nope, he’s promised her daddy to fix the car and to take her home
safe and sound for him; that’s what he plans to do.
Back in the girls’ dressing room, Leti and Annie (?) tell Maria
that they think JA is two-timing her with Elvira. Maria finds it difficult to believe, but Leti
says she just saw Elvira flirting with him in the hallway. “—He didn’t seem to mind it in the least,
either.” Maria says his being jealous
over Coloso’s song and kissing her doesn’t add up if he’s got an interest in
Elvira. “--Maybe he didn’t realize the
kiss was faked?”
Desira teases him while her friends slip a Mickey into a shot glass
and have him drink. She promises if he
has one drink with them then she might let him take her home. She takes the wheel and drives wildly on her
way, but she is not headed home. That’s
for sure! He’s feeling woozy just about
the time she races her little Beamer convertible through a street repairs site
and get three cop cars chasing them.
Eventually she manages to lose them.
By that time JA has blacked out.
She stops the car so her friend can take posed pictures of her kissing
Jorge Alfredo on her cell and then send them to Coloso’s phone so he can use
them to screw over JA and break Maria and him up.
Back at the bar, Roxana arrives alone and takes a table. Annie comes for her order. Roxie asks for Fernando to come to her
table. Annie says she’ll deliver the
message to him.
Back in the lounge backstage Maria’s looking for JA. Coloso tells her he’s gone to a party with
Elvira, but not to worry about him losing his job because her daddy gave him
permission to go with her. Maria tells
him she doesn’t believe a word of it and uh, BTW, the next time he uses her
during one of their scenes for one of his little boyish games like that she’ll
slap him upside the head, senseless! Coloso says if she doesn’t believe him then
to ask Mil cuz he and JA have been thick as thieves lately, telling each other
their little secrets. She looks over at
Fernando. “--What kind of little secrets?” Annie stands in the doorway yelling for
Fernando just then and he races off to Roxie’s table before he gets stuck in Coloso’s
quicksand.
Roxie tells Mil that she’s divorcing her husband to be with him
now. Ruh-roh! She lays a major lip-lock on him before
he has a chance to process or protest. Annie
looks on from the back of the room and fights back her tears. One other person has been watching the two of
them smooch also—one of Hubby’s henchmen!!!
Double Ruh-roh!!
And, speaking of illicit lip-locks, Coloso gets the photos just as
Maria, Leti and Annie are leaving for home.
He tells her he’s got proof now that Jorge Alfredo is not the pure
little lamb she thinks he is and then shows her the picture of La Vampira
supposedly driving her tongue down JA’s throat.
Maria is saucer-eyed impactado.
By the time Santos comes to, Desira and friends are dancing and chugging
the night away in some park off the road to Cuernavaca with a bunch of guys they invited
from wherever they found ‘em.
Back at the bar, Maria now asks Coloso who sent him the
photos. Coloso tells her it was Elvira’s
friends. Naïve little Maria has tears
streaming down her face. “—You really
like to hurt me, don’t you! Happy now?” No, he only wanted her to realize what a real
dirt wad the guy really was. “—He’s the type who gets it from wherever he
can. He just follows the money.” El Col starts to put the moves on Maria but
she stops him cold. “—I think you’re
despicable! Thank you for breaking my
heart this way!” She races away and out
the door. The bar tender and Shorty,
the waiter, tell Coloso he’s really gone over the line this time. Mil walks in on this and gripes at him, too
(with some remark about puff pastry)
over the dirty tricks he’s been playing on the two of them. Coloso insults him saying he doesn’t know who
loves the pochito more, Mil Amores or Maria.
Mil slugs him over it and a full out brawl erupts. Unfortunately, the barkeep gets in the middle
and gets the worst of it. (If this is comic relief then it must be a question
of what “is” is.) FF>>
JAntos decides enough is enough and tells Elvira the party’s
over and they’re going back. She just
guzzles more tequila from the bottle she’s been carrying like a security
blanket. She asks him just how he thinks
he’s going to get her there, by force?
(Personally, I’d land a well-aimed right hook, throw her over my shoulder and
pitch her into the trunk.) He starts back
up the road then. She tells him it’s his
neck if something happens to her after he’s gone off and left her.
Leti, Annie and Maria head back to the colonia through the
barrio and stop for corn on the cob.
Maria still can’t understand how JA could have gone partying with Elvira,
let alone kissed her. Annie tells her it’s
cuz he’s like all men—out for what they can get. It’s slam-bam-thankya-mam and thanks for the
mammaries. Leti tells her to can it cuz
she’s starting to sound like a broken record.
Yeah, well if he loved her like he says, she insists, then what’s he
doing swapping spit with Desira for?
Cara de maybe she’s got a point de Maria.
El’s friends run after JA and tell him it’s like way too
far for a casual evening stroll back to the D.F. He’s got to take Desira back home in her car cuz there aren’t any taxi’s out
this way; and anyway they’re off to Cuernevaca with the guys they picked up. Some friends you are, he says, totally disgusted
with the Sluts R Us attitude. No
different than she, they say. Elvira’s
the type who always takes advantage of people and they’re just giving her a bit
of tit for tat. They jump into the guy’s
shiny red truck and wave. He walks back
to the party. Elvira blacks out and
falls into his arms. He drags her back
to her car and gets her in.
Once Mil and Coloso have tired themselves out, they laugh
over the fight and are BFF again.
El Concho gets home pretty late and Lourdes lights into him
for fooling around with other women instead of her. She takes her robe off and asks him angrily
what have they got that he can’t find at home any more???
Maria’s starting to wonder the same thing. She goes to JA’s place and finds out from
Dona Pru that he’s still not back home yet.
She’s starting to think the worst, of course, by now.
Dona Pru tells Maria JA is obviously so in love with
her. Maria’s starting to wonder and
leaves a message that she dropped by after work to check how he was doing. Dona Pru says she’ll be sure to give it to
him. JAntos drives La Vampira back to the city, but can’t get her to give him
the address for El Concho’s house since she’s too busy crawling all over him
anyway. He ends up calling the bar to
get Fernando’s cell number from Pichi.
Coloso and Weight Lifter Guy are having midnight tacos out. Col tells WLG that he won’t stop hassling El
Pochito Ese till he and Maria have broken up for good. WLG tells him all he has to do is wait for
the guy to leave on his own and that way he can at least stay on Maria’s good
side. Col says that’s not the way he
wants to do it. Besides, he wants to
find out what it is that Mil Amores and JA are being so chummy over.
By the time JAntos gets hold of Mil, Elvira’s fast
asleep. He sure as hell doesn’t want to
risk waking her again. He tries to
explain where he is and asks for directions but won’t go into why or how he got
there. Mil tells him something about
taking a number of right turns till he hits a round about/town square/ or a
bower (take your pick) and the rest of it we assume. Santos struggles to get her back over in her
seat and to drive back to the city in the dark.
The way it’s going he may not get back before daylight or breakfast,
even……

TELEMUNDO SUPPLEMENT: El Señor de los Cielos -- Week of May 5, 2013
Qué Bonito Amor #14 (Mex 20.2-21) Thursday 5/2/13 Que Bonitas Lagrimas…y Lagrimas…y aun mas Lagrimas….
My DVR doesn't get the very beginning, so the first thing I see is Don Concho declaring to Maria that he's going to dock Jorge Alfredo not 1, but 2 days salary and next time, he's fired. Colosso and Mirta both approve of this.
Out in the hallway, Maria is pissed at Colosso for giving Jorge Alfredo a hard time. Colosso defends himself, saying that he's a man of his word…he even calls in one of the guys for confirmation…and since he promised he would make Jorge Alfredo's life hell until he left, he's just keeping his word. Never let it be said that Colosso doesn't keep his word. Maria calls him jealous…"of him, of his voice, and because you know I love him! But no one can separate us!" Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
Back in LA, Wendy meets Orange Giulius. OG tells her that her dad insists on defending Santos, which is putting her beloved Bruno at risk. He advises her not to warn her father that she knows what's up. If she's ok with going against her family, OG can tell her how to play it. "On the day of the hearing, walk into the courtroom and do exactly this…."
Santos/Jorge Alfredo is packing.
Ana places an order in the kitchen, then asks Fernando why he's moping around. She asks if one of his lovers cheated on him and he replies that if she's going to love him, could she love him in silence, please? Ana takes great offense and says women like her don't go for rats like him! Fernando thought bubbles that Santos had them all fooled.

Amores Verdaderos #122 Thu 5/2/13 Drama. Drama. Drama!
I found this gem on Facebook. It says: Screw Nikki, I’ll marry Arriaga.
* Lo refrito: will Victoria discover her bare naked husband in the Kendho’s den? * Lo nuevo: of course she won’t because she’s too busy with giving a beautiful necklace to the vixen. As soon as Vicky is out of sight, Nelson starts whining: phew, that was close, it could’ve ruined the wedding of his daughter! *Viewerville: massive side eyes, dude, you should’ve thought about that earlier, doncha think?*

PEAM # 39- The Return of the Prodigal Employee to Avon!
We start off at Orion, with Jesus, guilt tripping the
corrupt sillies. He is leaving
Orion because being with dishonest work place goes against his grain. As he hands his cell phone back it is
ringing, he, receives a call from Alma, telling him that Avon won the
certification, thanks to him. He
is Alma’s hero!!! If you were in
front of me, Jesus, I would grab you and kiss you, yes I would. Oh sorry, that’s Alma speaking.
Papa wants to know- who would you grab and kiss???
Jesus bids the crowd from Orion adieu and another silly lets
the 2 corrupt sillies (Eugenio and Simon) know that Max, el jefe wants to see
them and that they won’t get tat fat commission because Avon won. The sillies apologize to Jesus. The
crowd honors Jesus for his integrity.
Alma tells Papa that thanks to Jesus they won the certification. Papa wants to know who is this
Jesus? He was her old secretary. Papa tires to trip Alma up by asking,
if this secretary helped you in everything, why does he work with the competition?
Papa gets it, but what he doesn’t
get is their relationship. What type of relationship do they have if she would
grab him and kiss him? Jesus
didn’t ask for anything but Papa if you want to put a dirty twist to this
story, bring it. What’s going on with the wedding, Alma want to know what is papa’s
interest?? There is a wedding planner and everything is going according to
plan. Alma knows Papa all too well he is too manipulative to appear out of the
blue, as a surprise. Alma got a little indignant but apologized. Sooner or later she will find out what
he is up to. Papa looks a little worried.
At Chatita’s Bed and Breakfast- she is serving Elias a
delicious looking stew that she offers as hot chocolate but she doesn’t have
any chocolate. Hmmm. Elias tells her his tales of woe, he worked
for the agency for 10 years and now he is fired. His first failure.
He loves the stew. He goes
on about his blank creative slate, and Chatita can relate. His case will go to
arbitration because it was unfair. Marta the therapist calls. She asks Elias
how is he? He is on Bitter Street, it’s a long story, and his battery is dying.
Marta suggests seeing Elias for a session,
but it appears to be a session of love.
It’s against all of her ethical codes. They make a nice match.
Jessica is asking Xochy if she is psychologically ready for
tonight. (The two of them sound
like psychos!!)Jessica has given Xochy all of her sexy tips except for one
detail. Hmm- pass by her house for
a little costume and then Xochy screeches like a fool seeing Jesus. He lets
them know that he resigned and does not have a job, he resigned from Orion.
Chatita asks Elias about his salary. He gets paid as a freelance
worker. She doesn’t get it. Speaks in circles and brings up that
the bank came to try to foreclose on Jesus’ apartment
Jesus explains his story while all of the secretaries gather
around him. Discua is the only
secretary who understands why Jesus left the other company. Papa introduces himself to Jesus. Papa is trying to size him up. Alma asks what is going on here? And everyone scatters like roaches back
to their desks. He leaves his box
at Xochy’s desk. I wish that he
would keep giving her hope because she takes it the wrong way.
Elias tells Chatita that Jesus resigned from Orion.
Jesus and Alma joke over the size of the diamond that he
will buy the woman that he loves while holding a giant paperweight. Jesus tells Alma that he can’t work for
a shady company and now is jobless.
Alma doesn’t have a position at this time. Jesus is hopeful that he will find employment soon. Yep, right here at Avon. We are thankful that you helped us win
the certification and commission.
We owe you! We are friends
and friends support through good and bad.
Rogue has a hissy fit along with palpitations upon seeing
Jesus. Alma explains why Jesus is
jobless. Rogue credits himself
with getting Jesus the job but Alma corrects him. Jesus saved Maximo’s life.
Jesus can work in Rogue’s office but Discua has the position. Jessica is too happy to spread the
gossip about Jesus’ return and that since Discua was the last hired she will be
the first to leave. Ferny is not
too happy to hear that his Discua may be jobless. He is not celebrating Jesus’ return.
Jesus doesn’t want to take anyone’s job and stupid Ferny
bursts into Alma’s office putting his foot in his mouth and Jesus losing his
job whining about Discua losing her job.
If Discua leaves so does Ferny. What an idiot!! Alma lets Ferny know that no one is
taking Discua’s job. There are no
positions at Avon but Alma says that they owe Jesus. The Brothers Dumb are beside themselves. Alma is clear- Avon owes Jesus.!!!
Sebastian approaches Susana and asks, how has she been and
about her husband. He is a sick,
suffering from the consequences of years of smoking I hope that he doesn’t have to heart surgery, like I
did?? They seem to be pining for each other????? He has a new heart that h keeps beating for the woman that
he loves. Hmmmm??? Call me Sebastian and drop the don. According to Susana, their love would
be impossible, so since it’s a novela, let’s see.
Cardenas is looking at pictures of Jessica on his cell, and
Alma enters, he jumps and throws the cell phone, pictures and all into Alma’s hands. She hands him new employee cell phones
to give out. Cardenas has found a cut-rate
for the phones. His mother calls while he is talking to Alma. Alma asks if there is any vacant
position for Jesus, who has resigned form Orion. He will be her personal assistant. He will work directly under Alma making 10% more than the
secretaries. Rogue is NOT to know.
Rogue is going to love that!!!
Alma lets him know that Jessica is not his type and that he deserves better
Papa realizes that Jesus is nothing easy and is a good rival
but Papa is on Rogue’s side.
Xochy and Jesus share some small talk about the possibility
of Jesus working at Avon.
While the Ice Princess is meditating, Little Valentina is
wondering why she can’t reach Papa Elias or Papa Jesus on their cells. Vero
calls the hotel and can’t reach Elias.
He has checked out. Perhaps he is on his way home. Valentina is ecstatic. She is happily screeching but it is not
dreadful like Xochy. The Ice
Princess looks worried.
Alma playfully gives Jesus the good news about his new position. Ferny makes up a story to Discua about
how he scared his brother with an authoritative tone, he dominates his brother
with a look and then when Rogue overhears, Ferny takes his foot once again out
of his mouth. Rogue lets them know
that Jesus will be Alma’s personal assistant. Discua feels that Rogue should come to their meetings and
feel the light.
While watching black and white TV- Elias’ cell rings and Chatita
answers her phone. looking for the ringing phone. Vero reaches Elias and asks
if he is on his way home because he checked out of the hotel, he checked out
because his credit card was declined, he was fired from the publicity agency because
he can’t concentrate. She insults
him, he is no one without a job and being the Ice Princess, that she is she
focuses on where he will sleep instead of trying to help her partner who is
down. She allows him to return
home but, no thanks. They start arguing over the phone and Chatita lets Elias
know that he still loves Vero.

Amores Verdaderos #121 Wed 5/1/13 It takes a village ... to marry off a very rich child
It's too soon in our story for a Happy Ever After wedding, but just the right time for a Holy Moly, Granny, She's Gonna Blow! kind of event. So tonight, as we watch the elaborate and costly preparations for the wedding of Nikki and Roy, we see past the sunlight to the storm clouds. And more ominous still, we see Leo resurface, burning with hatred, lusting for revenge!
Read more »
A scenic overlook -- corny but lovely
Nikki ignores her own feelings, her mother's advice and the pleas of the man she really loves. She can't hate Guzmán, she says, but there's no future for them. [But the important thing is she looks like a million bucks. And she cries so pretty.]
Rolando's late night visit
Lili remembers who she is [Yay, Lili!]. She tells Rollie to cool it: she's not going to provoke something [dar pie a algo] that isn't going to happen. Her first time is going to be something special, something to remember. Roy understands. And he's sad about leaving -- who knows for how long. He'll miss her.
Whoa. Something is happening to Roy's eyes. Are those tears? Yes! And when Lili tells him not to worry because she'll be waiting for him, he is a goner. A fool for love. "Don't ever forget me, Lili!" "I won't!"

PEAM #38- 5/1/13: Mata Hari, Hare Krishna, Hara-Kiri?
Recap By Pablo:
Read more »
|  | |||
| ||||
Mati Hari:
All is fair in war and love, so Rogelio joins Jessica in order to find out more of what is going on between Fernando and Discua, Jesús and Xóchitl and everything else that has been happening under his radar. Of course Jessica drops, almost ''by accident'', that Alma is dining with the ''secretario''. From now on, Jessica will be Rogelio's eyes and ears in the office.
Rogelio invites his father-in-law-to-be to eat at LA GUACAMAYA (restaurant #3 in Monterrey) and to ask for help against Jesús, now that Fernando has declared he no longer does evil, thinks no evil, speaks no evil. Don Sebastián highlights the fact that if Alma is turning her sight somewhere else, it's because Rogelio is not doing what he should be doing!
At Avon, while eating, the menu that doesn't include the now famous carrot cake as dessert, the secretaries decide at last to help Xóchitl, and Jessica will be the ''coach'' teaching her how to keep a man by her side and happy under the sheets (something she failed at with Fernando, but juárever), she is the only one who offers her help. But as we all know, when Xóchitl goes with the milk, Jessica has gone and come back with the cheese, TWO TIMES!!, so when she says, Xóchitl, you need to open, and then pauses to finally say ''your mind'', I am sure we were all thinking something else... Jessica did it on purpose to tease her friend (and us by the way).

Qué Bonito Amor #13 (Mex 19-20.1) Wednesday 5/1/13
Note:
Until we start getting standard episodes, I will dispense with the
usual divisions of review, present, and preview.
Capitulo
19: The Consequences of Amor, Part 1
JNTR:
To the sound of our dear Don Chente singing the title song,
Maria walks down the lighted pathway through the club, up the
stairs, and to the roof where she finds another rose and the shawl
draped over the gramophone that probably once belonged to Quentin
Collins. We hear an old record playing that is implied is that of
Maria's father. She turns around to see Jorge Alfredo take off the
sombrero on the approach. They kiss to the sound of a couple singing
“Qué Bonito Amor” and this begins to feel like a Hollywood
romance from the 60s. We see that the next Norman Bates
Susanito is the one dropping the rose petals on them. Jorge Alfredo
suddenly pulls back his right hand and he is bleeding from a
splinter. Susanito teases him that working as a cargador would do
that. Maria tells him he didn't have to make this sacrifice for her.
However, he is not concerned with what it takes to show his love.
Garza
Mansion: Justo demands to know what proof the police have.
Commandante Derecho and Curtis tell him they have photos of Santos
living it up in Mexico City. They know where to find him and won't
rest until they get him. [Since we don't see the photo we wonder
how this man is so sure.]

Amores Verdaderos #120 Tue 4/30/13 The Letter and not much else
Amores Verdaderos Cap 120, 4-30-13—The Letter and not much else
Lo siento, a quickie recap which I'll hopefully flesh out later. Some highlights based on a flawed memory, plus a few screencaps. Hopefully more of those too later.
* Nikki is trying to be nice to Lili as Lili tends to her plants. But Nikki is an idiot and can't quite contain her snobby for too long. When Lili sweetly offers a plant for the wedding ceremony, Nikki says no, we're getting the best florist in the city to do the flowers, and besides, you don't realize it, but you still have too much Country Bumpkin in you to do the job! (Or something!) Can I just bop her over the head now? Anyway, the important part of the conversation is when Lili admits that while she really loved the Little Gorilla, it was hopeless and she's got this new guy now and he's a sweetie. (VOMIT!) Nikki is affected by this, and seems to be wondering if it's possible to get over Guzmancito.
* The Little Gorilla is venting to Big Angel how he knows Nikki loves him, but she's so thick-skulled she won't admit it. Even Victoria knows and would prefer him for a son-in-law over Roy the Boy! In the middle of this, Salsa-Dude comes into the bodyguard salon and overhears. Uh-oh. But Salsa-Dude seems more or less sympathetic. They start to talk about how somehow Kendra-Ho is behind it, she's vowed to mess things up for Guzman. Salsa-Dude almost lets slip how well he knows Kendra-Ho, but is able to back down a little from that so the other bodyguards don't figure it all out. They all agree that the Ho is a HO. Big Angel wonders aloud if maybe Vikki would kick the Ho out of the house if it was discovered that she was carrying the FF's baby? You think?
* Cande goes to see Anyballs to read him the riot act about what he did to poor Adriana and her baby. She doesn't, of course, admit that she knows where Adriana's baby is! Anyballs gives his typical B.S. about how he did what was best. She is disgusted with him. He admits that he's using that strand of hair that he "accidentally" snagged off of Lili to confirm that the ADN is legit. Cande is outraged that he'd doubt her word. Whatever . . . we know what the ADN will show, don't we?

Qué Bonito Amor #12 (Mex 17.2-18) Tuesday 4/30/13 Que Dices Bonita? Dices Que Sí?
Capitulo 17
Parte 2 & 18
Lo de ayer and Lo de hoy is all mixed up with Lo de mañana and Lo que no pasó, so it's all in a single narrative. Apologies for the recap being so long.
[Jorge Alfredo made it to Maria’s and La Dama del Queso will leave you with Urban Anthropologist’s beautiful words describing Jorge and Maria’s declarations of love, followed by a really nice kiss.]
Maria’s Apartment
Overcome with emotion Jorge Alfredo drops to one knee [and Viewerville is thinking, this is waaay too soon] and asks if Maria would be his novia [whew, not a marriage proposal, but it’s still too soon]. She hesitates, only so we can get close-ups of her answer, sí, quiero ser tu novia. [Ah, first love, it just carries you away, well it’ll carry Jorge Alfredo away at the very least.] He asks rhetorically, even though I will have to leave you and don’t know when I’ll be back? For nothing in the world would I trade a minute of happiness to be by your side [sigh], she replies.
This very romantic interlude is rudely interrupted by some very enthusiastic foreplay between Elvira and Celoso, right on the living room coffee table which was cleared with one sweep of the hand. Celoso stops, takes a breath and, we’re hoping, what—that he will or that he won’t, since either choice will mean bad times ahead for our main lovebirds. He picks Elvira up and as she calls him her gallito, roosters crow and he carries her off to his nidito (little nest).
A la Romeo and Juliet, we have ‘parting is such sweet sorrow’ as dawn breaks over the vecindario. JA says goodnight, my love, sleep, rest. He’ll be back to get her in the morning to take her to her classes. She doesn’t think she’ll be able to sleep, this being the most important night of her life. JA makes a slight correction, the most important night of our lives is when, *all together now, Viewerville,* no one and nothing can ever separate us, and when I return to be able to wake up every morning in your arms [didn’t Rogelio say this to Ana Paula, the two timing b@*#ard].
Next morning Amalia is aghast when she finds out that Jorge Alfredo declared himself to Maria last night and that she accepted to be his novia. Maria says it’s the best decision she's made in her life. [I think this means it’s an exclusive relationship and Celoso is not going to take it graciously, or won’t take himself por vencido.] Cute little Isa is spying on this conversation. Even though he’ll be leaving? Mama, that’s all the more reason to be novios, they don’t have much time and she wants to spend what time they do have together. Mama is just not with the program. She tells Maria that there is something about Jorge Alfredo she doesn’t like, she doesn’t trust him, he’s hiding something. She just can’t accept him as her beau. Maria says she’s within her rights to feel that way, but she needs to accept *her* decision. Amalia is not convinced.
Hollywood, LOL, L.A.
Altagracia has come to see Michael in jail. She apologizes, after an emotional embrace, that she couldn’t come any sooner as Justo had forbidden her to come. Michael is like a son to them and a brother to Santos, so she just had to, to get his side of the story. Michael assures her that Santos is innocent of the fraud and money laundering charges (and whatever else Comm. Derecho digs up). It would be impossible for him to do any harm. It had to be a trap. They tried to kill him when he was in Tijuana. That’s why he fled to Mexico City. Mexico City? Alta repeats (a little louder please, so the guards can hear you), Santos went to Mexico City (ok, now they probably heard you). He’s still in danger, Mike tells her.
Back in the Barrio
Jorge is singin’ in the sunshine. He’s at Oh Happy Day, except it’s all in Spanish, as Irasema watches bemused. He’s in a good mood today, what happened? Well, he took her advice and Doña Prudencia’s and declared his love to Bonita and she responded. She tells him she’s happy for him and that La Bonita is fortunate to have such an upstanding young man by her side. JA wants to know if she has anyone, boyfriend, partner? No, sadly, who would look at someone like her. JA says she has a good heart and surely there is someone for her. He doesn’t dilly-dally because he’s got places to go and things to do.
Now we see Jorge knocking on a door we know is not Maria’s nor probably Celoso’s. Ah, he asks for Braulio and mistakes the maid for his wife. (Well, what did he know, don’t all wives in DF wear braids and aprons?) He’s come to pay the back rent for Maria, all of it. Surprised to see him, Braulio does take it and counts it. It comes with strings, JA intimates. Braulio is not to bother either mujer any more. Well, he may if they don’t pay on time. Jorge Alfredo announces that from now on, *he* is taking over payments and Braulio can be assured it will always be on time—so, no, bothering Amalia and Maria any more. [Ay de mi, Jorge, it’s obvio you deal with honest folks and contracts are sealed with no more than a handshake—but why didn’t you ask for a receipt?]
Amalia is walking Isa to school. Isa is complaining about not being able to go to the park because of her low math grades. Amalia says she’s being punished and that is the way it’ll be. They run into JA (on his way to pick up Maria) and in a leap of genuine affection, Isa rushes into his arms for a hug. Then he finds out why she’s being punished. He volunteers to help her with her math lessons. Amalia looks on, so, in addition to being a mechanic, a ranchero singer and who knows what else, he can tutor in math? Coloso was right to talk about him, she says. Isa has begged for an ice pop and is gone so the adults can have a serious convo about his intentions with Maria.
But first we go back to Susanito’s barrio to watch the “boys” playing a little pick-up soccer and a little pick-up about their very first loves. Celoso starts reminiscing about his first and lost love, Gloria [hmmm, where have we heard *that* name before] and then they turn on Susanito and start teasing him. Tongue-tied, he blurts out that his first love was, wait for it, his mother—and he runs off.
Jorge Alfredo doesn’t know what Celoso told Amalia about him. They talked about not hurting her daughter. He wants her to know he tried to live up to his promise to leave Maria alone, but he hurt her trying to separate her from him. What they both feel for each other is too strong. He loves her, he promises he’ll come back for her and take charge of her (in a nice way—cargar). Amalia doesn’t believe him, thinks he’s hiding something and says men all make promises like that. JA reminds her that not all men are alike. Amalia doesn’t want him to think she is selfish about trying to keep Maria pain-free, but she does know what it is like to suffer for love. JA doesn’t want her to suffer either and declares that Maria awoke this love in him, but now only the hand of God can separate them.
Hollywoodland, LOL
Mama Altagracia is having a serious talk with Memewendyme. She can’t get it through her tousled head that Santos is innocent. Look, Michael is in jail, just like Bruno. Go talk to Michael. Oh, Wendy points out, he would defend him. Is she insinuating that Bruno is lying? Of course not, it’s that everyone has ganged up on Santos and he’s not here to defend himself.
Back to the Barrio
Jorge Alfredo has reached Maria’s apartment to take her to class. He greets her with a rose. They’re happy, bantering, laughing as they collect her things. [It’s bound not to last, but, please, telenovela gods, give us a few more episodios to watch these two being happy in love.] They stop along the street to look at an old model car, like one JA used to have and Maria shows him the simple wooden truck like the kids in her barrio had to play with. He would love to have had one like that. He leans over and says to her, Gracias por estar conmigo. Then Maria sees an old hand cranked victrola. She’s enchanted by it because she’d be able to hear her father’s voice again, since she actually has his first disc. When he offers to get it for her, she thinks he’s crazy; it’s too much money and she’d never be able to pay him back. He says he’ll make it a gift (un regalo). They continue their walk towards classes.
The Horse Whisperer – in Spanish, of Course
As they cross the plaza, an entrepreneur has set up a real horse and is taking pictures of kids, and anyone else who wants one, on the horse. Suddenly, the horse shies and the kid on his back could be in danger. Jorge Alfredo to the rescue. Who knew, now he adds Horse Whisperer to his resumé. All’s well that ends well. The photographer, grateful to JA for being able to dodge a lawsuit, offers him anything he wants, anything. JA says, naw, but photoguy presses him. As a lark, JA asks Maria if she would like a ride. We guess she did, because here they come.

PEAM, Tuesday 4/30/13 (#37): Father Knows Best
(Now that I've seen the whole episode I don't think that was such a great title, but oh well. Maybe Father will know best tonight.)
Vero takes all of Chucho's cashand his bus tokens and leaves Orion. That company really needs a better policy for employee guests.
Rogue sees Discua winking at Fernando and suddenly realizes why his brother has been so particularly idiotic lately. (Actually, Rogelio, you were shockingly slow to figure that out. Who's the imbécil now?) Fern says he's got a spiritual force-field to protect him from Rogue's bad vibes. He says something about Jesus (the religious one) and Rogue shudders. "Don't invoke that name!" I only mention it because I neglected to include a similar scene in last week's recap when someone said "encanto" to Chucho and he reacted the same way upon hearing Fernando's old nickname for him.)
At Orion, the Two Sillies accuse confront Chucho with their discovery that he, personally, delivered a new/revised application to the Camera, er, Chamber of Cosmetics this morning - on Avon's behalf. They remind him that he can go to prison for industrial espionage. Gee, who saw that coming? Hahahaha.
So THAT'S how the writers deal with portraying Avon as a den of gangsters and gossips: they create a fictitious rival that's just as bad. Brilliant!

Amores Verdaderos #119 Mon 4/29/13 The happy return of the Angel and the Flower... Grandma has a secret. Bride of Foy Toy makes her bed... now she will have to sleep in it, says Mom. Previews: The amazing race?
Refritis:
Little flower repeats to Angel she understands he needs to rebuild his life. He is proud and surprised at how time has passed and she has become a woman, despite all the sorrows she had to go through since her mom died.
He will support her no matter what. She admits it will be hard to see him in love with another… HE is surprised … (really, man?)
Lo Nuevo:
KenDrat on phone with her partner in continuing with the skid of fooling Nikki-NilBrainsChild re: ‘traga-platanos .. eh.. dinero’ Gorilita’s gigolo page.
Said Nikki-NilBrainsChild is arguing with her mother and Gorilita about them not agreeing with her wedding. She keeps insulting. Gorilita won’t stay quiet ‘taking care of you has many angles’. Nikki-NilBrainsChild keeps insulting in his face that she picked Roy-Foy-Toy over him (yeah, NilBrainsChild has earned her nickname, besides ‘fool-B’). Vicky insists they mean her well, but Nikki-NilBrainsChild keeps insulting right out the door. Vicky prays for God to enlighten her (give her brain cells she did not inherit from dear daddy?)
Back to KenDrat nagging on her own about not being able to wear her jewels since she has told everyone they were stolen from her. Nikki-NilBrainsChild ended up in her room telling her what just happened with mommy and Gorilita, they insist she not marry. KenDrat has missed a breath but recovers quicky to insist she keep going with the wedding plans and repeating about Gorilita being a two-faced money-hungry gigolo.
KenDrat tells Nikki-NBC that Dr is coming to give her a good-2-go check up.
Vicky tells Adri about trying to convince Nikki not to marry, Don’t want Nikki to follow her example, marrying a man without love. Adri says you & Gorilita did the right thing, but ultimately it is Nikki’s ticket to ride to doom.
With heavy heart Vicky says whatever Nikki decides, she will support it.
Adri jumps for joy when Vicky says Angel is coming back to his old job.
Vicky also tells Adri she has been a real good counselor/support for Lilli. Adri a bit taken aback, changes subject, what about Vicky and Arriaga? Vicky, again with heavy heart, tells her Angel’s condition to return is that it will be just for job, their ‘relationship’ is in the past. Adri asks ‘will you be able to put your feelings on hold?’ Vicky says for the sake of Arriaga, will have to.

Qué Bonito Amor #11 (Mex 16-17.1) Monday 4/29/13
Capitulo
16: Estos Celos Can Get You Detenido
Lo
del pasado
Oscar tells Fernando he has a surprise for his "chiquita", the last song her father sang. There is excitement in the club room as the Alguys take the stage. Just
as Oscar is about to begin, Jorge Alfredo enters JNTR singing “Maria
Bonita” to the delight of Maria and everyone else except Oscar and
creepy Rubén. He's wearing her father's traje and looking so
alpha-hot all the female patrons are seriously enjoying this. So is
Don Concho, who is seeing peso signs all over the place.
Lo
de nuevo
Mendoza
Apartment: Over the sound of a sad cello, Amalia and Mancia
talk about Don Braulio and the owed back rent. She has only half the
money owed. Mancia offers to lend her the money she needs and
reminds her of what the cards said. Amalia turns her down, saying
that wouldn't be fair. She wrings her hands in pain. [Could she
have lupus?]

PEAM #36 - 04/29/13 - Sleep, Sueño and Confusion Meet Winken, Blinken and Nod
First The parole lady flexes her muscles, Valentina finally calls her Papa Jesus to get a ride to school since Mom has lapsed back into depression sleep. She is also worried about an exam in math which her sleeping Mom is not a math genius among other qualities. Jesus borrows the truck from the depression sleeper named Elias in his apartment.
Maricela makes us sorry that Chatita has taken her in but in her sleepy (not depressed but forgetful) state takes a broom stick to the Maricela but figures out that she knows her. As Maricela starts her soy de pura raza bit, Chatita has a clearing of the memory cobwebs and reminds Mari that her papa is a garbage man. Mari tries to convince Chatita of her cloudiness but Chatita holds to her memories of what her father sacrificed to send her to school after her mother disappeared (died, do we know). Maricela gets on her high horse several times but Chatita reminds her that isn't it odd that Maricela left her home, her loving father and here she is begging a sleeping place from the very good friend of this dear papa. Maricela is not scoring high on the fooling any of the people any of the time scale.
Chucho arrives to learn that Veronica is asleep and he sees the sleeping pills by her bedside so makes her drink water then takes Valentina who notices they are going in Papa Elias truck to school. Chucho is a saint of good humor taking the beloved child to school and making her feel like nothing at all is wrong.
