Qué Bonito Amor #20 (Mex 29.2-30) Friday 5/10/13 In Which Lorena Learns That Big Break-ups Suck Big Time and Maria Learns That Making Up is Better Than Breaking Up Anytime
Cap. 2nd ½ #29 +
#30
That
evening, post-confirmation of Maria and Santo’s still being in love with each
other via singing “Si Nos Dejan”…..
Ana
(as does Viewerville now) notes hotly that Fernando, El Mil Amores ese, is
self-absorbed to the max. She
listens to him tell his distressing story, vainly complaining to Santos how
although he loves Roxana, he doesn’t love her enough to let her move in with
him (like Mr. So Important’s got more than a jail cell sized 8x10 space to
share with her anyway). JAntos
reminds him that she’s in trouble with her gangster hubby because of him in the
first place. No skin off his nose
that she’s been salving her soul by sharing her bed and becoming ….er…bosom
buddies with Mil Amores! No, he’s
not a man made for one woman, or better said, a one-woman man. Ana loses it cuz she’s heard enough at
this point. “—You ridiculous
little man! You coward!” “--Hey, this isn’t any of your
business!” “—It is when I say it
is and I do cuz she doesn’t deserve this!” She stomps out of the room.
Susanito
(our Boy Named Sue--do you think something like this is what Johnny Cash had in mind when he wrote that song?)
worries about why she’s so upset with Mil. He pompously preens.
Stupid boy! “—It’s obvious
that she’s jealous, very jealous!”
Out
in the empy dining room, Selena begs Annie to back off Mil cuz it’s obvious
she’s letting him know she’s in love with him. No reason to deny it.
Either she forgets him or she fights for him. She can’t have it both ways cuz it’s obviously tearing Annie
to pieces. Annie has to admit to
herself that she does love him and hasn’t been able to get Fernando out of her
head since the first day she met him. ¡Ay!
Back
in the dressing room, the mariachis are now sneaking a grammar school giggle over
Sue’s sad state of dishabille forever caught as a poster-sized Kodac moment,
courtesy of El Aventurero. “—Looks
like he needs to change dressing rooms (camerino) with Maria from now on!” Mil
and BNS walk in on the group, getting a gander of the poster-sized image of him
wearing Mama’s pink and white flowered bathrobe. Sue, embarrassed, slinks out of the room as El Coloso sniggers
about him about getting him a pink charro suit for the act.
Meanwhile,
JAntos has changed and walked over to Maria’s colonia where he stands outside
her window moping. Maria looks out
her window and notices him there.
He blows a kiss her way and in the shadows she tearfully accepts the
imaginary kiss, still believing that he two-timed her with Elvira.
The
next afternoon, Rodrigo returns home from prep-school. He and Gloria have an odd mother-son
chit-chat about what a terrific son he is and how independent and self-reliant
he is. FF>>
At
the same time, Lorena Olmo, Ruben-Olmo-Attorney-at-Law’s, bitchy bitchin’ wife,
is showing her posse what she has in store for straying hubby’s birthday party that
night. She’s going to enjoy
putting that caterwauling two-bit bargirl and her cheating hubby, Ruben, in
their place. Eeeewwww! Viewerville and her posse note
the nasty time to be had by all when they get a load of the remote screen the
scheming shrew got set up in the back yard to spice the evening up. Lorena calls Concho’s place and
contracts the mariachis for that night to do a serenade, complete with a
request to have Maria singing a special birthday song carrying a huge bouquet
of flowers which she’s to hand over to Hubby personally at the end of the song.
That
day Amalia is having a hard time adjusting to being blind. Maria and she pray for patience and
guidance; and then Maria goes through the house letting her mama feel distances
and such. Amalia’s in a
much better mood.
At
the same time, Mil and JAntos are discussing why Maria is in such a funk about
luhhhhv, how she thinks now that her father was a playboy and totally
unfaithful to his wife. Mil says
he knew Pedro and that it wasn’t like that at all. He knows a man from Pedro’s old group of mariachis who was a
close buddy of his that they can talk to possibly, but he happens to live on
the way to Nezahualcoytl…er…Neza for short.
In
LA at the state prison there, Bruno and Arnold are having a sitdown with cousin
Giuliano, the worm meister.
They’re about to be set free, says El Gusano, but watch out about making
any statements to the press. Why,
asks Bruno who is having third and fourth thoughts already about the jam he’s
put Santos in, is ol’ Giuli worried he might be put into a compromising
situation, now or what? El Gusano
stares nastily back at his mouthy cous.
Meanwhile,
JAntos and Fernando arrive in Neza, but as they start to take in the sights a
patrol car stops next to them and puts its lights on. Out jumps a cop with a wanted notice and tells him to
stop. He’s arresting him as the
fugitive, Santos Marinez de la Garza!!
Santos freezes then suddenly he breaks into a run.
Back
in L.A., Arny and Bruno have a presser of a presser. Some lady reporter sticks a microphone in his face and asks
Bruno if he feels betrayed by de la Garza somehow. El Gusano de Giuliano answers that he’s a forgiving soul and
only wants justice and the pursuit of those who are truly guilty. (Viewerville says Amen to that one!)
Fernando
leads the cops into a wild goose chase and he and JAntos finally make it to a
safer part of the city. Ok. So now Santos has got to be more
careful, they figure. No duh!
That
night at Ruben’s birthday bash, old elderly Mama and Papa Olmo are there to
help sonny boy celebrate. El
Coloso and Crew are there. They
begin their act and JAntos realizes they’re at Ruben’s house. “—Something’s going on. Something’s going on!” They
decide to continue to sing anyway. Mom ‘n Pops Olmo (who remind me of my very
average sweet and elderly family members more than the ordinary run of rich
scum buckets we generally familiar with.)
Ruben and his BFF, Fabian, are surprised to see Maria sing him las Mañanitas. Maria is even more shocked to see that
she’s been hired to sing at Ruben’s party. When she’s finished the song, Lorena viciously points out
Maria to all the guests and declares that she’s Hubby’s lover and the reason
he’s leaving her and their children.
Ruben claims Lorena’s just drunk too much is all.
Down comes the remote-controlled movie screen and up go
the guests’ eyebrows when Maria and Ruben are shown talking chummily over lunch
at the restaurant the other day, and Ruben is giving her chin-chucks and cheek
fondles. RUH-ROH! Even JAntos becomes
saucer-eyed and red-faced impactado.
Maria just wants the earth to swallow her whole right where she
stands. Lorena narrates:
“—This is the real Ruben Olmo, the perfect father, perfect son, perfect
husband—but by day because by night he cavorts with this woman at a mariachi
club!”
Maria
angrily throws the forgotten bouquet in her hands to the ground and warns
Lorena to watch what she says. Rather
than start something, JAntos hold her back and advises her not to do anything. “—It was a trap.” They turn to leave. Show’s over, says El Coloso. All the mariachis head back out but
they stop when they hear Fabian insult them. “—Yeah, we don’t need some scandal over an insignificant
woman.” Mil turns to face
Fabian. “--What did you
say??” “—Just what you heard, you
clown! This isn’t some mariachi
bar! This is a decent house!” JAntos overhears the snide aside and
grabs Fabian by the collar.
“—You’ll respect my woman!”
The or else implied here is eating a knuckle sandwich, American
style. Poor Mama Olmo is about to
have a heart attack from the embarrassment and shock. Ruben’s family begs him to calm things down. Papa Olmo tells
them no fisticuffs allowed. Ruben tells JAntos best to get out of his
house. “—Er, please.” Ok. Since he asked nicely, they all start
back out again.
Back
in L.A. at the de la Garza manse, meantime, Justo keeps searching through the
documents the worm meister left him trying to find something to hang his hat on
that will prove Santos’ innocence.
Mil
Amores grabs a silver tray with hors doeuvres and bottle of whiskey. The boys didn’t get a chance to eat
because they came to give the serenade, he explains. “—I hope this whiskey I’m going to drink is a top notch brand.”
They call him an insolent servant and ask where he’s been raised. He turns Lorena and Ruben. I
may be a poor ruffian from the lower class, but I was raised well. Any disrespectful behavior or bad
manners I’m learning here from this poor woman who hasn’t learned how to hang
on to her husband!
“—I’m
known as Mil Amores and I take care of lonely women who have been abandoned by
their husbands. I’ll take care of
your frustrations for you, Señora.”
Lorena’s mama asks what’s going on here. Nothing, answers El Coloso, just another demonstration of
the lack of respect found in members of your class. Lorena is about to smack Fernando or Col a good one, but
Ruben stops her and tells her to cool her jets. Col and Mil turn on their heel and strut off. Ruben gets grief from the parental
units and insists that none of Lorena’s crazy accusations are true. Ruben eventually asks one of his guests
to pay off the band for him.
Fabian goes along with him.
Maria is ashamed. Jantos tries to calm her down, telling
her that everyone there realizes they set a trap for her. “—But it’s not fair!”
He swears that he’ll believe her,
that he believes in her unconditionally [ciegamente = blindly] no matter what
was said. Then Fabian shows up
with the check and insults them all again. “—Here is your payment, you poor bastards. Wouldn’t want you to do without since I
realize you live from hand to mouth every day.” Jantos grabs the check, looks
at it and tears it up. Then he
jumps him and they break into fisticuffs.
Fabian’s friends and the boys in the band pull the two of them apart
(unfortunately). “—Hey you, little
lawyercito you. Tell that guy,
Pines, or Mahogany or yeah, Elm [olmo=elm] that sooner or later he is going to
pay.” Col tells them to scram
before they make mincemeat out of them.
Mil throws the scraps on the tray over at them. “—Hey! What’s the matter?
You’re alley cats and that's what the servants do, right?” The three metrosexual nincompoops
huddle.
Bruno
is finally a free man again; he decides to call up Wendy. They agree for her to show up at the
no-tell motel he’s registered in since he’s now persona non-grata at the de la
Garza manse. Wendy races over to
Bruno’s motel room and they make up for lost time, putting the bed sheets
through the wringer. Over in the corner of the yard, Coloso tries to make Maria understand
that Ruben isn’t a friend she can count on at all. During this whole scene he never said a single word in her
favor or lifted a finger to help her, says El Coloso. He even sent out his
flunkies to pay us. It means he’s
not man enough to have!
Once the guests are gone, Ruben
packs his bags and complains to his bitchy wife about the humiliating party
she’d tricked him with. He’s not
lying and has nothing to cover up for her. “—Right. Just
like all the other times, right?”
(Face it babe. Ruben’s got
an itch you are simply unable to scratch.
Cut your lossees. Take the
house and the car and the big bank account. Find a new squeeze at the club.) She threatens him that she’ll do something to Maria for
making him leave her. Ruben tells
her he’s sick of her paranoia and her histrionics. He’s owdaheya!!
The mariachis drop Maria off at her
colonia. Jantos wants to take her
up. She won’t let him go with her
and reminds him that although she appreciates the way he defended her this
evening, there’s no longer anything between them. They’re still finished as a couple. Maria goes upstairs and
cries over him. “—I mustn’t love him, but I can’t forget about him. I don’t know how to get him out of my
heart.”
After
Bruno and Wendy have broken the tension, so to speak, we learn that Bruno feels
really rotten for disgracing their two families. (Good. He
should.) Wendy is totally on his side no matter
what happens. (Yeah, we eagerly
wait seeing if she’s just as faithful to him when she finds out what a rat fink
he’s really been!) They’ll face whatever comes together, she says.
A group of the mariachi’s go out for
late night tacos and discuss, what else?
The woes and lows of loving and losing a woman.
Santos gets an idea of a way to win
back his Bonita. Can Fernando help
him? Sure thing. Does a bear go er…berry-hunting in the
woods? Is IL Papa Catholic?
An hour or two later, Fernando, El
Baritono, and Sue begin playing a love song under Maria’s living room window. She
and Amalia wake up. Amalia comes
after Maria, hoping to warn her away from the window, but Maria tells her
mother not to say a word about it to her! (Yep. It’s her life. Let her live it without your stoooopid
meddling.) Santos is sitting on that photographer’s white horse, singing
his serenade. She puts her robe on
and walks out onto the balcony, tears in her eyes. He gets off the horse and climbs the bower to her
balcony. The song ends and they
kiss. (Hey, if that was finally JS’s real voice, then why haven’t they been
using it all along???? It’s really
decent!)
Fernando smiles to
himself and the others. “—Just took
one song for him to win her back!” They watch JAntos and Maria kiss. Jantos swears his love for her is the real thing and explains
again how he was knocked out cold when Elvira took those dumb pictures of him
kissing her. Maria says she loves
him too and swears that she believes him.
They hug happily and tell each other how much they love each other. Jantos has her promise him that no
matter what happens nothing will ever make her stop loving him. She swears to it and they kiss and
embrace passionately again.

Amores Verdaderos #127 Thu 5/9/13 Nikki Shares her Balls with Roy
Honeymoon Suite: The groom is still annoyed about catching his bride boinking another man, in the barn and in her wedding finery. What did he expect her to do? Honor her vows and save herself for her husband on her wedding night? She wants to explain, but Roy doesn't want to hear any of it. She wants to got out partying with him, but Roy says she smell like vomit. Besides, it will cramp his style if he brings his wife along while he's picking up girls. Roy outright abandons the poor girl on their honeymoon and tells her to order from room service. If the bell boy's smiling when Roy returns, he will have only himself to blame. He leaves Nikki in the room doing her botox cry expression. It's the one where she cries without moving any part of her face.
Victoria's Art Room: Adriana admires Victoria's drawings of Arriaga while her sister talks with Guzman on the phone. Victoria's artistic skills have improved since we saw those hideous paintings. Vicky tells Guzman that Nicky and Roy arrived safely in Miami. She tells him to take off as much time as he needs to settle things with Beatriz and Guillo. Vicky tells her sister that Bea should be realeased tonight, but they still don't know where Guillo is. They both can't understand why men use children to hurt their wives. Adrianna tells Vicky to stop living for Nikki because she chose her own destiny. She encourages Vicky to hump Arriaga. She didn't quite use those exact words, but I'm paraphasing in order to save time. Adrianna goes on to point out that Vicky has failed at both of her major relatiionships. Vicky bombed out with Carlos and her marriage to Nelson is a complete failure. Adrianna believes that if Vicky would tweek parts of her personality, she might be able to make it with Arriaga. Vicky want's to be divorced first. She'll do it even if it displeases her father.

Qué Bonito Amor #18-19 (Mex 26.2-29.1) Thursday 5/9/13 Que Bonito Traicion
Just a quick summary of yesterday:
• Michael got knifed in his cell, but survived. While he was getting patched up he asked the nurse what it would take for him to be able to use their fancy dental equipment and provide some actual services while he's there.
• Orange G is going to have the failed knifer whacked. Why Orange G doesn't get whacked for continuing to do shoddy work is beyond me. "The Godfather doesn't tolerate…" my ass!
• Maria overheard Concho and Amalia talking about her dad, so now she knows her daddy wasn't the saint Amalia always let her believe.
• Amalia still hasn't recovered her sight.
• Ruben and JAntos (I'm stealing that…this guy has too many damn names!) get into a fight at the bar and Ruben threatens to call the cops, but Susanito points out that Ruben's wife won't be happy to find out where he's been. This finally gets JAntos fired from Ay Jalisco.
• Ruben tries to hire some thugs to beat up JAntos, and it's looking pretty grim until Fernando Milamores and Susanito find him and scare the thugs off.
• Amalia found out JAntos paid the rent and though she still thinks he's hiding something, between that and his telling her about his feeeeelings, she's now convinced he's truly in love with Maria. She blames all the drama on him being a mariachi.
• Milamores' lover, the gangster's wife, wants to leave her husband. He gave her a black eye and Milamores swears he'll do anything to help her, but what she wants him to do is let her move in with him.

PEAM #44- 5/9/13- Just Another Day At Avon
I had to be creative for this episode because I spent most
of the time rolling my eyes at the foolishness.
I am going to recap according to the characters. Something similar was done by I believe
Jardinera for a different telenovela and I loved it.
Vero- the Ice Princess
What is wrong with Marta my therapist?? Why doesn’t she get
it?? I love Jesus. Why he invited
me to dinner to profess his love for me and give me illusions of reuniting with
him, so that Val, he and I can be a family. I initially let him go to the US because I didn’t want to
stand in his way but I should have told him that I loved him. How stupid of me!!! I just can’t stop thinking about the
dinner last night and when we embraced, we almost kissed. (Is that like almost winning the lottery?)
Marta- the therapist
What a job that I have. I give advice and no one listens and I get paid for
this. Vero- what about your
daughter, isn’t that why we have the therapy sessions. Don’t you think that she needs to be
with her Papa Elias??? Your love
for Jesus is a very confusing concept to this little girl. Oh well session over. Hmm- a phone call from Elias Franco,
I’ll take it. Oh yes, I do owe you
a session, come on over. Let me
put on some lipstick and freshen my face for this love, oh no professional session.
Elias- think about Valentina, she must be very confused, you raised her. I just
love this job!!!!!
Jesus-the secretary, executive, personal assistant.
I was only trying to help my brother man. I had cooked a delicious, romantic dinner
for Elias and Vero, only to have Elias skip out on me with Marisela and when
Vero arrives she thinks that the dinner is for us. I tried to tell Elias the next morning but it fell on
sleeping ears and now Elias is beyond pissed with me to say the least. I told the story to Alma, one of the
loves of my life and she understood. So now Cardenas has anxiety about speaking
in public and with the new staff morale project he is going to need some
help. Sure, I can help him. Why is Xochy still annoying me, well
let me not hurt her feelings in public, I’ll tell her about the mix up story
with Elias. Why is she reacting
like that, she needs to lower her voice.
Meet her mother, why would I want to do that?? Am I really her boyfriend??? I love spending time with my
boss, Alma. She asked me to take
her to look at wedding gowns because she couldn’t reach her best friend. That’s odd. Anyway, I’ll go to the ends of the Earth with her. Oh why is she inviting me to her wedding? I can’t go, I am dying of jealously how
can I stand it. But I can’t let
her down; I’ll be there. What’s
taking Patty so long let me walk around?
I’m in the bridal salon, wow, this gown would look amazing on Alma at
our wedding. Wow, there she is in
a wedding gown for real. She looks
marvelous. She is the perfect woman. I am speechless. This woman is a goddess.
Alma- the goddess
I am never too busy to listen to Jesus. What a mixed up story that was. I have a solution, just tell Vero the
truth. What a wonderful boss Rogue
is to make up the employee raffle for a weekend for 2. That will surely boost morale. Rogue seems a little agitated. I wish that there was something that I
could do to help Elias with getting his job back. I wonder why Rogue is so dismissive about it. Funny, I can’t reach my best friend on
her cell and I wanted to try on wedding gowns. Since I only have 2 friends then I guess that I have to ask
my other friend, Jesus. I just
love spending time with him under any pretense. There are so many lovely gowns to choose from. Let me try on this one. I wonder how I look in it?? Let me ask
Jesus for his opinion.
Sebastian- FIL
Rogue, you may have to take lessons from me on how to court
the ladies. Do what you must to re
light my daughter’s fire because the flames are smoldering. I am so astute but I am too busy
looking at Patty’s short dress and being charmed by her to wonder why did she
burst into your office like that. Oh
right, she is helping with the wedding.
Carry on, kids. Susana,
let’s do lunch. I don’t mind
eating in the employee cafeteria, it’s not about the food but it’s about the
company. (Rogue, learn from the
pro!) Susana, do we have to talk
about your hubby?? Sorry to
hear that he has pulmonary emphazema.
Susana- secretary
Why thank you for the lunch invitation, Sebastian. I can’t believe that a man of your
caliber will eat at the employee cafeteria. You could eat wherever you want. My husband isn’t doing too well. I will ignore everyone looking at us and just enjoy your company.

Amores Verdaderos #126 Wed 5/8/13 Poor Nikki -- she couldn't break the family curse!
People on the Patio: Balzac Speaks
In this second edition of People on the Patio, we are thrilled to bring you the one, the only Balzac!!!
NM: Balzac Longoria -- You are the breakout star this season. Your name heads the list of The Most Charismatic Dogs in Latino Television. Your face is on the cover of the Spring issue of Semiotics in Mexican Telenovelas. And on the Patio, they say that just by showing up, you ensure the success of any episode you are in*. Are you surprised by the enthusiastic reaction of critics and fans alike to your nuanced portrayal of a dog in crisis?
[*See previous comments for full discussion of the Niecie-Balzac Rating Scale, an exquisite metric inspired by today's guest.]
Balzac: Um ...what?
NM: I said people are really into you.
Balzac: Hey. It happens. [Stands, circles three times and settles in comfortably on the couch. Gnaws in apparent contentment on a drool-encrusted liver chew.]
NM: Some of us were shocked when you chose to stay with Jean Marie rather than go back to Estéfano. What do you say to those who see your decision as disloyalty?
Balzac: Did you see the crap Stevie made me wear?
NM: Yes, well the beret was an unfortunate choice ...
Balzac: … and please don't get me started on my operation ...

PEAM #43-5/8/13: Ye Know Not What Me is Capable Of, Yarrrr.... Now That I Got Meself a Boyfriend, Yarrrr!!!
Recap by Pablo.
Nov. 7th. (9:14:53-9:59:01) ;-)
Read more »
After the unappetizing rubbery scrambled eggs that Chatita served him, Elías runs to ask Verónica about last night. As mad as he is because he has found out that Chatita's food pyramid includes fruit, sweet bread, Rompope and eggs and after seeing Verónica all dolled up in high heels before breakfast, is the drop that overflows the glass (it sounds better in spanish), or the straw that broke the camel's back. Specially when she tells him that all this has a reason:
She's broadening her horizons. That can only mean one thing, but Elías is so in love that he doesn't understand (neither the lines nor between them) her and even when she says:
a) is a man FROM THE PAST
b) she has something VERY IMPORTANT IN COMMON WITH HIM
c) somebody she can have a SECOND CHANCE WITH
d) a man who never had to LEAVE HER OR VALENTINA
e) somebody she lied to or hid SOMETHING IMPORTANT from him
f) a man who came from Chicago and IS THE BEST COOK in Monterrey!
g) he can plan important publicity campaigns in a Jiffy.
h) need anymore hints???
OK. Elias is still asking WHO COULD THAT BE??? Tell me, I give up!!
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Jessica makes fun of Xóchitl, who ended up a half-pirate, but Alma puts a cork in her mouth, looks like in Avon, after punching in, nobody can say nasty things to each other. Apparently, she ignores all the goings-on while she is always busy as the workaholic she is.
In the cafeteria, the three stooges are licking their lips remembering Yvonne and her table-show and the crickets when Begonia shows up as if by magic and almost tears Gilberto's ear because he was badmouthing her not knowing she was behind him. Bad piggy didn't lose his ear by a hair of his chinny chin chin!
Sebastian woos Susana with a huge flower bouquet, or did he do it only because he needed some pictures of the happy-couple-to-be to frame?
Jesús tries to dump Xóchitl with no success because she now wants to take him to meet her mother.
After Begonia leaves, in a wink of Discua's eyes and a twitching of her nose, the stooges make fun of him being whimpy, and when Marisela talks to Ricardo, things get sour, since there, everybody has a tail to step on (todos tienen cola que les pisen-nobody can throw the first stone).
Cárdenas was about to give Jessica a flower bouquet much smaller than Sebastian's, but the sponsor had paid for a ringing, so the Unefón rang and he had to leave the premises...

Qué Bonito Amor #17 (Mex 25-26.1) Tuesday 5/7/13 Two Charros, a creep and a lady or Can't we all just get along?
Recap by Ellie--
Part I and II are up [Click on Read More].
[I was not home to watch the start of the episode and my DVR did not catch the first few minutes, so my apologies for anything that I might have missed.]
Part I
We start with our main man, Jorge Alfredo, who is looking delicious in pink carrying Amalia who is having a medical emergency down the stairs. [I'm thinking he should have just called 911, but because no one on this show has any common sense I'm just going to move on.] While all this is going down in Mexico, in Los Angeles the Garza family is having a discussion about Jorge/Santos, Jorge's mother is again pleading with everyone in the room, telling them that she firmly believes her son is innocent. The evil orange lawyer Giuliano is there trying to muddy the waters and insists that Jorge/Santos is not to come back to LA. Justo, who finally seems to be thinking is not in agreement. His son should not have to live his life on the run!
Also in Los Angeles poor Mike Johnson is being pressured to "tell the truth" and turn on his friend, but Mike is a stand up guy and refuses to do this. He stands his ground and tells his attorney that his friend is innocent. He has never questioned his innocence, furthermore, he has already fired one lawyer who tried to get him to sell his friend out! Viewerville shouts "You go Mike Johnson, you go!" [Side note to the Garza family, give Wendy up for adoption and make Mike a member of your family, he is a real good guy!]
In Mexico, Maria is just getting home when Ruben "Moneybags" pulls up in his shinny black car, he is there to tell her that there's a date set for her job interview. He does not get to finish his good news because just then Susanito’s mom comes out and informs Maria that her mom is in bad shape and that Jorge has taken her to the clinic! Maria and Paloma both freak out, especially when they realize that no one picked up Isa from school! Ruben offers to drive Maria to the hospital while Paloma picks up Isa.
Paloma (Renata Notni, the actress, is so pretty!) gets to the school where Isa has been lamenting that no one picked her up. It's almost like she's not part of the family (kid, you have no idea!). Paloma finally gets there and tries her best to keep calm as she informs Isa that they are not going straight home, today they have to go somewhere else.
While Maria and Jorge are in the hospital, El Coloso and his sidekick are up to no good! Coloso is trying to break into Jorge's room in la pension, when the landlady is distracted by someone’s offer of mole (goodness, I'd get distracted by mole too!). El Coloso and company run up the stairs, jimmy the door and start looking through Jorge's personal property (for shame!). By a stroke of good fortune, Fernando arrives just in time to keep Coloso and his minion from opening the envelopes that Jorge was hiding that contain the damning information about who he really is. Doña Prudencia, the pension landlady, walks in on Fernando and the two rats and correctly guesses that they have broken into Jorge's room and threatens to call the popo. Fernando ever the sweet talker, tells her there's no need for that. They had the keys to the room and were just picking up Jorge's outfit. I really wish he had allowed her to call the cops, maybe that would have taught Coloso to behave like a normal human being!

Part I and II are up [Click on Read More].
[I was not home to watch the start of the episode and my DVR did not catch the first few minutes, so my apologies for anything that I might have missed.]
Part I
We start with our main man, Jorge Alfredo, who is looking delicious in pink carrying Amalia who is having a medical emergency down the stairs. [I'm thinking he should have just called 911, but because no one on this show has any common sense I'm just going to move on.] While all this is going down in Mexico, in Los Angeles the Garza family is having a discussion about Jorge/Santos, Jorge's mother is again pleading with everyone in the room, telling them that she firmly believes her son is innocent. The evil orange lawyer Giuliano is there trying to muddy the waters and insists that Jorge/Santos is not to come back to LA. Justo, who finally seems to be thinking is not in agreement. His son should not have to live his life on the run!
Also in Los Angeles poor Mike Johnson is being pressured to "tell the truth" and turn on his friend, but Mike is a stand up guy and refuses to do this. He stands his ground and tells his attorney that his friend is innocent. He has never questioned his innocence, furthermore, he has already fired one lawyer who tried to get him to sell his friend out! Viewerville shouts "You go Mike Johnson, you go!" [Side note to the Garza family, give Wendy up for adoption and make Mike a member of your family, he is a real good guy!]

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. 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.

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.

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?*
