La Tempestad, Capitulo 16. August 20, 2013.
Bagre
asks Damian if he really wants to leave his boat. Damian feels it’s no longer
his. Bagre thinks there is still time to recoup it. Damian says he needs to
distance himself from her. He will go crazy if he can’t love her freely. Bagre
suggests going out for drinks.
On
deck, Damian runs into Marina and asks her what’s she’s doing here. You know
while you are still looking for another captain, I’m still the boss here. Marina informs him that unfortunately he has
no authority anymore. Why is that ask Damian. Are you the new captain? The crew
laughs. No, Senior Fabre replies Marina. Damian reminds her to call him
Captain. She tells him she has news. What news he asks. Hernan chooses to make
a grand entrance. The news is that I am the new captain of “La Tempestad”. Marina
needs my help and I am not going to leave her alone. Damian laughs at this. He
tells Marina that Hernan has no experience in the fishing business. Hernan says
he doesn’t think that “La Tempestad” is no different than any other boat and he
has a lot of experience. (What
experience? You might go fishing for pleasure, but I’m pretty sure that’s about
it) Anyway, Damian says this not something easy that anyone can do. Hernan disagrees. Marina needs some
modifications and increased production.
Damian tells him not to change a thing on the boat. If you do, I will
kill you. Marina tells him to stop and
leave. They have a staring contest.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #70 - “One Step Closer to Discovering MariAle’s True Identity and to the End of our Protagonist’s Not-So Fairy Tale Marriage”
Corazon Indomable,
Episode #70, Monday, August 19, 2013 –
“One Step Closer to Discovering MariAle’s True Identity and
to the End of our Protagonist’s Not-So Fairy Tale Marriage”
Recap by LatinaInMD
Karim meets with the governor and repeats his claim that he lost
his throne thanks to MariAle. The guv
tells him he doubts it was her fault, but Karim assures him he is already
preparing his payback against her.
Doris and Mariana appear at the hospital to show Octavio they
care about his nephew’s well-being, but as usual Doris ends up ordering Octavio
to take her out to lunch later, once he’s had a chance to see his nephew.
Speaking of meals, Ed and flight attendant Sonia are having breakfast
at a restaurant when Angel and Araceli walk in arm-in-arm. Sonia notes that Araceli looks quite
happy. An annoyed Ed says he can’t
believe Araceli could have replaced him in just two days. He glares at them and notices as Angel cups
Araceli’s hand in his hands.
As usual, Octavio tries to say no to Doris but quickly gives in
to her wishes, noting how “generous” she is in allowing him a whole ten minutes
to see his nephew before they leave.
Octavio goes in to see his nephew, and both Miguel and Lucia
immediately beg him to go borrow money on their behalf, as Miguel is too
embarrassed to do it himself. Octavio
agrees to do it, but says he will not sign the IOU himself. He will only pick it up and bring it back for
Miguel to sign it so he can get the money.
Angel now caresses Araceli’s face, and Sonia notes that it looks
more serious than she imagined. Ed
figures that’s why Araceli didn’t want him at the store anymore and wasn’t
willing to give him more time to get serious about their relationship. Sonia points out he can’t have it both ways –
love her or leave her.

Qué Bonito Amor #90 (Mex 128) Monday 8/19/13 The Great Escape
JNTR: Amalia bitchslaps Elvira over what she did to Maria. At her pretentious reaction, Amalia tells her that what goes around comes around. The cops head for the paso de gato. The explosion happens and a fire begins. Both Maria and Jorge
Alfredo are unconscious. Amalia panics and insists on going
upstairs. The Mexican cops start trying to force the door. Fernando
and Susanito go upstairs. Giuliano gloats as his two accomplices ask
for their pay. Rubén suggests that they all leave. The SWAT cops
don't allow them to leave the area. Susanito returns to tell the
other good folk that the explosion was in Maria's dressing room.
Amalia freaks, Elvira gloats in the corner, Rubén looks edgy.
Fernando yells through the door while trying to dislodge it with the
fire extinguisher. The flames grow. Meanwhile Elvira has the gall
to gloat at Amalia saying that there is always payback. Mirna is
about to go after her but is prevented from doing so. Remedios tells
Elvira off, however, saying that it is a pity that someone so pretty
could have a soul so black. Giuliano enters, gloating quietly, not
realizing that Justo and Wendy are behind him. Justo demands to know
what he is doing there. Amalia tries to comfort her younger daughters.

PEAM #115. 08/19/13 - How Low Can You Go? Misery Abounds and a Rash is Unleashed
This picture called Santa Fe Colibri has nothing to do with the story line which is a pack of miseries but I thought we could all think about something beautiful like this little creature while we hear this tale of woe.
Rogelio assures us he is the director and Alma counters with how is he going to explain his useless azz to Pancho Lopez, the big boss. She accuses him of being a jerk who is jealous of her love for Jesús. As usual, having no way to refute these truths, he retreats in a huff.
Back at Orion we again see MalMelquiades come in with his silly Elvis steps trying to make fun of Jesús and then when Jesús and Julio simply leave the room preferring to ignore his silliness, he brushes her neck and tries make time with Aida on his way out. She is not having it either.
Ricardo complains to Xochi that Maricela is unhappy because she is a lousy fake and recounts how she isn't a princess or even rich and instead is the lowly daughter of the lowly janitor Panfilo.
Again we see Valentina pronounce the only accurate description of Rogelio - MALO. Yup, out of the mouth of babes. Rogelio simply cannot believe there is a female alive that isn't enthralled with him but she isn't his cup of scotch either.
Jesús is finally filling his Lic. in on Rogelio's activity against him, threatening Valentina using Yuri. and his brother has a bad conscience trying to hide Rogelio's illegal activities and money laundering scheme.
Valentina tries to play with Sanson who is good and watches wondering as we all do while Rogelio fears Valentina's touch on Sanson and Veronica is screeching that Val must not touch the dirty dog. Later, Rogelio who has no idea what to do around a child, suggests she go out and play in traffic (not really but he fearfully lets her go play in the yard with Sanson. At least girl and dog are happy to be step children of the new family unit. Valentina is right to be looking askance, she is about to be swallowed up in a house where none of the adults give a fig about her.

Porque el Amor Manda #114: Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Veronica does not succeed in smothering Rogue, more's the pity. She promises to pick Vale up at school. (Will she be able to find it?) Rogue points out that she keeps talking about how much she loves her daughter, yet she still uses her as a tool. He may not have human children, but he has Sanson, and -- Vero interrupts that he's going to come home one day and find that dog in the oven. What a fun couple.
As if Rogue giving advice on family life isn't bizarre enough, Paty's back at Alma's, giving her a lecture on romance. Men! First they're all blue-princey, and then before you know it they're too busy to see you. And caray, the perils of the long-distance relationship! (All the way across Monterrey, she means.) Love is like a plant! It must be carefully tended! Alma tells her not to be such a Debbie Downer...but she does look worried.

Tempestad #15- 8/16/13: Take This Job and Shove It, I Ain't Workin' Here No More
Ahoy, mis Tempestad Maties. I am skylarking a bit today, so please gather on the pier. Umbrellas, and sunblock are being provided as well as drinks like rum punch, grog, boilermakers, sangria, tequila sunrises and seabreezes are being served for your sipping pleasure. Spyglasses are also included for well, spying.
This recap will not be in any order, some scenes have been combined for better and smoother flow of the recap.
The Refrito:
Nero and Herny follow Commandante Robles. They are pithed cause can't be moving the merchandise around when the Commandante is in town. They are losing all types of money. Well Nero suggests that they have a couple options, kill the Commandante, have him killed or have him have a tragic accidente! Herny tells Nero to not be stupid, rolls up the window on the SUV and puts his sunglasses on.
ShutupRosy (thanks CI recapping team) is at the church witching to the Padre about Laz being mixed up in bad ways and that girl Lu seems so much older than Laz. Padre doesn't see the problem. Love is good. Que??? from ShutupRosy. Lu just kind of appeared. Padre likes Lu. ShutupRosy thinks that Laz is a "boy" too young for marriage. Shut Up Rosy!
Laz is at the Tempestad staring at Lolo. Well Lolo doesn't like it and finally Laz apologizes for this previous broom to the neck incident. Lolo forgives but don't eva do that again. Lolo thought it was great that Laz wanted to defend his mujer, but not the way he did that. Lolo will be teaching Laz to fire a gun, the pirates are the excuse, but guns aren't toys and he has to do all Lolo says. Agreed! Now Laz is running off to see Jaz.
Becky and Bea discuss Herny and then of course that DamFab guy. Becky doesn't think that Marina would fall for some poor fisherman, no siree Bob she wouldn't until Becky gets a load of him coming up the street. Of course Becky changes her mind right quick and would jump into a sea of sharks for this guapo. Yummy!

Corazón Indomable Fri 8/16 Watch Out For That First Step!
¡Que casualidad! Today is Raiza's birthday and Lucía is in town...what could possibly go wrong?
We join Raiza and Miguel at the casino bar,
"I owe you a great deal, Raiza, and although you won't believe it, you have been helping me spiritually."
 |
| Let's Get Outta Here Before My Crazy Wife Shows Up |
Before he can enlighten us about his spiritual development she proposes a toast and although he's been sipping brandy out of a snifter, he begs off. See, his wife has a keen sense of smell (actually, crazy people do, they can smell things that aren't even there). She becomes maudlin and confesses that even though it's her birthday, she's all alone. Much like us, he doesn't want to descend into her self pity, so he decides to complete that toast and gulps down some of that brandy.
What can I say? The crazy lady, Lucía, looks great in that scarlet gown. She's impressed with the casino... lots of elegant ladies. Octavio agrees and tells her that they love the gambling (even more than the men do), and as Maricruz spies around the corner, he nervously goes to seek out his brother.
When Octavio departs, Maricruz, wearing a well-fitted black and brown gown, slinks out of hiding and approaches her cuñada, much as a lioness stalks her prey.

Qué Bonito Amor #89 (Mex 127) Friday 8/16/13 A Blow Out Of A Birthday Party!
Capítulo 127
• It’s the day of Maria’s (21st?) birthday party and the whole colonia is helping prepare something special, courtesy of JAntos who, despite his new found poverty, always manages to comp for a crap load o’ goodies.
• Rodrigo is learning to cook alongside the love of his short life from the Blue-haired Bubbes—er…Babes while Giuliano’s thugs, pretending to be repairmen and plant a bomb which is hooked to the light switch in Maria’s dressing room. Ana orders a birthday cake made like a mariachi’s sombrero from her padrino down the block.
• Wendy whines to Michael that her life’s being threatened and so she’s gotta make tracks to parts unknown. He’ll have to find another assistant. It’s too dangerous to stick around. (Like working inside the prison isn’t?) He whines in return, begs her to stay, and promises to protect her somehow from inside Da Joint. He’ll find out what the bad guys have planned through Darren.
• The whole gang decorates the bar and then wait for the guest of honor to arrive. The lights go out; she arrives in a (¿qué coinkidink?) beautiful lacy, flounced white partying frock and sees the flower and the sombrero cake. Next comes the beautiful serenade from JAntos. Next comes sweet smooches and cheers. Mil Amores has another onset of the sadsack for having lost out with Ana.

An Ill Omen Brings Nobody Good
LA TEMPESTAD # 14
16 August, 2013
The Town of Nuestra Señora del Mar, Veracruz, Mexico
16 August, 2013
The Town of Nuestra Señora del Mar, Veracruz, Mexico
“Nothing happened today. It was pretty uninteresting to me.”
Anonymous
An Ill Omen
Marina leaves the church after her
conversation with Damian. The wind blows her hair onto her lipgloss and she
looks very upset. Yep, she is in a storm of emotions when she looks over at
Damian. Damian has a rare clumsy moment and the brand new engagement ring in
the black velvet box falls out of his pocket onto the ground. The good Priest, Fulgencio,
Delfina and Estercita are standing a little lower on the church steps and see
the ring fall. Oh, my, dear friends, this is a most inauspicious omen for los
novios, Damian and Estercita.
Now, just where is Madrina Eusebia when
Damian needs her? If she were on the scene instead of just hanging out in her
cosy beach palapa she could tell the whole lot of them that this omen—the
fallen engagement ring ON THE CHURCH STEPS—betides such ill chance that it
would be better if Damian and Estercita never met! Marina and Damian could run
into one another’s arms, cut to their boda, and the whole romance part could be
wrapped up right here. Alas, Eusebia is not there and the moment with the
possibility for a quick resolution to our story passes.

Qué Bonito Amor #88 (Mex 126) Thursday 8/15/13 Que Bonito Aburrimiento
The Santos, OG death match goes nowhere.
Justo comes to visit Michael to talk about Wendy.
Wendy gets a nasty email saying "YOU'RE NEXT" and freaks out.
OG's such a big man, beating on Jantos while he's being held by two goons. OG opens up champagne…um, no, if it's Italian, then it's not champagne, dumbass!...to toast to this big day. Still haven't heard why this is such a big day. Ha! OG's trying to shake Jantos down for 10 million. What an idiot!
Roddy and Paloma…all alone? Why?...go to Jantos' family's vault to leave Gloria's ashes. I'm going to be bitter about Gloria's death for a while. Roddy is likewise bitter, but in a more weepy way.
Maria and Fernando start tracking down Jantos. They strike out at the restaurant. Fernando counsels patience, but Maria is convinced Jantos is in danger.
Mostly I think he's in danger of being bored to death by OG. So, the plan is to get Jantos to get Justo to hand over the money. Jantos is thrilled to hear that OG's life is in danger. OG admits to killing Bruno and Arnold. He blames Arnold for not taking the money out of the trunk in time. "Blah, blah, blah, he died like the rat he was."

Corazon Indomable Cap. 68 8/15/13 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”
There seem to be a few bumps in the
road to romance for our secondary couples, while our heroine is poised on the
edge of a cliff. Will she jump into Karim’s arms or be pushed into a prison
cell? My preview prep was limited, so if
I missed something, please add a comment.
Many short scenes are combined and may not be in strict order.
Previously Doris
is in Daddy Gov’s office brushing off Octavio’s marriage as a mere
inconvenience. It took place in a small
town, after all. If the first wife shows
up on the island, Daddy can make her go away.
The Gov is slightly puzzled—doesn’t
Doris care about the scandal? Nope, just
about her hawt pilot/Lt./air force commander/whatever. She loves, loves, loves him and wants to
marry him. We have a nice break from
ShutUpDoris for most of this episode.
She and Mariana have a brief scene with the Gov later, as he explains
they can’t do the big wedding announcement yet because a) he’s busy and b)the mess of Oblivio’s
marriage isn’t fixed yet.
Casino
Executive Offices
The casino environment is beginning to feel claustrophobic, but it could be due to the emotional temperature of the sizzling scenes with MariAle and Tav. The two are arguing if MariAle is MariCruz. She gets her ID to show she is indeed Maria Alejandra Mendoza. Our married man wonders how she knew he already had a wife and couldn’t marry Doris. She hints that his bro might have let the news slip while he was drunk. Oblivio, frustrated, claims he’ll marry Doris just to bother MariAle and asks her to leave him alone if she doesn’t love him.

PEAM #113- 8/15/13- A Break-up, An Engagement, An Annulment, An Ugly Divorce, An Almost Fight and An Arrest
It's out of order but easier to read. I grouped like happenings together.
The Old:
Ferny and Rogue are having a bro to bro talk about the only
woman that he has loved- Amanda who he lost. He only thinks about money and sex. Then Ferny breaks it
down- you have your cake and was eating it too but you lost that as well.
Marisela tells Panfilo to stop being a player and be honest
but he is going to the Carnival Club for people of a certain age. Panfilo is
dressed to the nines, cane and all and Susana is licking her chops when she
sees him.
Julio brings Jesus the judicial news about custody.
Moronica comes home in a mood and wants to speak to Elias
about the photographer. We get a
glimpse of those horrible neon green, phone handle-matching shoes. Yuck!!!!!
Alma goes to Padre Domingo for the annulment papers. Alma is happy.
Val is sneaking to speak to her Papa Jesus. She is anxious to see him. Moronica is
on her broom, yelling about Jesus and not letting him see his daughter and
walks off. Beyotch!!! Val has to
hang up. Moronica tries to act
like a mother for once and kisses Val.
What a phony interaction.

Octavio and Ed are preparing for flight with Luciafer on board. Octavio wants Ed to keep quiet about Miguel and his little problems. Ed, the voice of reason, tells him he should stay out of their mess, but Octavio can’t help involving himself.
MA is at home congratulating herself over her anonymous call to the gov. ShutUpDoris must be having a hissy fit right about now. Check. Juanita comes in with the baby in a stroller to take her out for a walk and is bouncing around like she has to go to the bathroom and can barely hold on. Just go already, you’re making me have to go. MA doesn’t notice and goes on to say how much she loves taking care of her baby’s needs. Finally MA looks at nanny and asks what’s wrong. Juanita tells her she’s worried because someone is watching their house. So it wasn’t because she was going to wet her pants. But why take the baby out on a walk if your worried about being watched?
Octavio is walking Lucia and the child through a plane hanger. She asks how Miguel is and he must be missing her, right? Lie, Octavio, Lie. Don’t involve yourself in their mess.

Raimunda's secret is public domain. Chatita convinced her to be truthful and now she is letting her hair down. As we all know, after seeing her mother get killed ''because she was a woman'' (by the hands of a very violent man), Raimunda denied her gender. Well, that was the past, because now Super Jesús is here to tell her to be herself, to prepare and study to be someone like Alma. See, Alma is a woman and nobody has killed her. Not all women get killed. Chatita is a woman and she has had a veeery looong life. Uri tried to kill Alma though, but she survived. You will too Raimunda, don't dress like a boy anymore, but better change that name. What about Ignacia? And your looks, we will help you. Ah! And don't worry about Valentina. She is just a girl and younger than you, but she has been exposed to so many adult situations that she knows more than me, Elías and Chatita together, she will understand your change... And soon you will be BFFs and could share make-up tips!
Segment sponsored by Lala milk.
While Elías and Jesús give Raimunda a makeover, Chatita takes the opportunity to tell Valentina about ''the secret'', and I am not talking about the book by Rhoda Byrne. After opening the door, Valentina's jaw drops to the floor when she sees the first transgender girl in her life. Raimunda is wearing a white dress and matching ribbon bows in her hair. They hug each other while the adults smile satisfied and proud of all the good they have done. From here, straight to heaven!!

PEAM, Tuesday 8/13/13 (#111): My Friends Call Me Chatita. You Can Call Me Luisa.
Rogue rants and raves in Alma's office. Alma closes the door in hopes of muffling their conversation, but this is hilariously ineffective. The employees and Elias hear every word as Alma lets Rogelio have it (verbally, that is) with every complaint she's kept bottled up for all this time: She's the one who keeps the office running. He does nothing around here except screw around with her friend or the occasional secretary. He traipses in around noon only to work on his personal projects of dubious legality, like the time he got those "Turkish cigars" from that "warehouse." She used to put up with it because he was her novio, but that was a mistake!
Rogelio says he wants Alma to tell him EVERYTHING that goes on around the office from now on, IS THAT CLEAR? (He stands on his tippy-toes, which doesn't really help.) Alma says yes, and Rogue leaves, gloating. Alma begins to work up a hearty rage.
At Orion, Augusto marvels at the simplicity of the agreement that Chucho (and supposedly Elvis) worked out with the union. He wants to know how they got Romero to listen to reason. Chucho volunteers Elvis, who is admiring his reflection in the lenses of his sunglasses, to explain it all to old Gussie while Chucho takes care of some other business.

Don’t judge me, it was
very good tequila. ¡Salud!

At her house, Maria Alejandra
is remembering Mohammed’s warning that Karim will accuse her of the
assassination attempt if she doesn’t go to visit him. For once in her life, she
seems scared – is she finally realizing that she’s been playing with very powerful
men? No, not really, she is still reluctant to believe she could be accused.
Our two pilotontos
read the letter that Octavio received at the end of last episode and it says –
– – wait for it – – – the Governor gave Tav a new title, he named him
lieutenant in the Isla Dorada Navy! Ed is sure later he’ll become a captain, a
colonel, a commander. Tav is not that happy about it, he knows nothing about
military life (or life in general, as far as I’m concerned); also, both guys
agree that the isla is not that great when it comes to its Navy force – you
know, like boats and stuff.
Regardless, Ed thinks
Tav will look great in the white uniform (can’t argue here). Tav doesn’t feel
like accepting the title, though, even if the pay would be much better, because
that would mean him becoming a slave. So he decides to refuse the promotion
(but can we call it that if he hasn’t even been in the field before?) and go
talk to the Gov about it. And why not break up with Doris, too, finish the farce once and for all. Good
luck with that, Lieutenant Narvaez!
Alone in his office, the
Gov is thinking about the trouble he’ll have if the Police Chief discovers that
he accepted the Emir’s bribe to allow the sale of the Casino.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 11. August 12, 2013.
Marina asks Damian where he gets the idea that she’s jealous. He tells her he only speaks the truth. She assures him he’s so wrong. He doesn’t know her feelings at all. You’re right replies Damian. You have no feelings. Your heart is made of stone. With that he takes his leave.
Damian sees Lazaro and asks where’s he’s been. Lazaro tells him that his mom went to see his
uncle, the priest, and complained that he and his cronies are a bad
influence. But I don’t think so and my
uncle agrees. He promises to work extra
hours to make up for the time lost. Damian
wants to know if what Bagre ways is true.
Did you find a woman? Yes,
replies Lazaro, but it’s not like that.
Jaz is my friend and we are in love.

PEAM #110 - 8/12/13 - A Funeral is the Least of Our Problems
Refrito, Elias kisses Valentina goodnight, she doesn't look too happy but the green stars make her close her eyes. Jesús tries to take his leave of Aida since it is the evening when Agosto demands he attend him in his office for an emergency. Oops, Alma has prepared a romantic heart laden table an donned her sexy red dress as she dreams of former kisses.
Rogelio tells Alejandra that he has an important client for her, Nick Donovan. Even though he smells odd, she would rather cuddle with Rogelio but she is won over by the stack of cash he hands her from the conveniently located briefcase full of bills. The photographer is burning up his memory card as Alejandra leaves and Virus-onica arrives. Sanson does his usual disapproving growl. She thinks Rogelio smells odd too. Did I miss a product placement or what? Why does Rogelio smell funny? In his hurry to pin Virus to the couch, she nearly crushes Sanson but he barks to shoo them off to the bedroom upstairs. Que asco.
Aida has to call Alma to tell her that Jesús is detained in a meeting with Agosto so she sits and daydreams of their romantic moments instead.

Corazon Indomable #65, 8/12/2013: Inconvenient Wives; Karim and the Chief Put the Squeeze on Mari
El Emir Karim’s wife, who also has lovely blue eyes, and her
father, whose fake beard is worse than Teo’s fake hair, have been teleported to
Isla Dorada to Karim’s hospital bedside. Mrs. Karim wonders if it would not have
been better for them to put Karim in the teleporter machine to the Emerites, so
that he can receive medical care there.
The doctor interrupts to say he’s about to look over Karim’s wound, so
the lady better leave the room. Her father insists that in her delicate
condition (I guess Karim did fulfill his duty and plant his seed), it’s best
she leave and protect the health of the heir. He thinks they should go
speak to the police.

Ed bets Tav that he is such a weakling, that he’ll end up
marrying Doris. Tav denies it, but like a coward, refuses to answer the phone,
in case it IS La Hija del Gobernador. Ed takes the call and fields Doris’
one-hundred- and-one questions about Tav’s whereabouts, pretending he has no
idea where his friend is. (And just why would he be hanging out in Tav’s room
if Tav wasn’t there?) Miguel rushes in to gossip about the drama at the casino
the night before. Tav wants to know if
Mari is ok. Miguel is more concerned about himself. The police intend to
interview everyone who was present, and his fugitive status may get him into
hot water. Ed doesn’t think the police will be so stupid as to not figure out Miguel’s
a wanted man. Tav, caring brother that he is, is more concerned about Maria
Alejandra’s chances of being detained. He wants to help her.

Recap by Cece
The Old: Raiza is informing Maria Alejandra of the recent agreements between Emir and Carola. Raiza insists that she can be trusted and MA complies. Contrary to Raiza’s advice, MA will be heading to the celebration tonight.
The New
Miguel is reading Lucia’s letter of desperation. She can no
longer take his absence, she wants to sell so she can be by his side and Miguel
will also be able to see his son. She’s
spends the rest of the letter pouring out the little love (didn’t know she even
had that in her) that’s in that hatred filled heart of hers. Miguel looks not so pleased at this
revelation. He does not want her to come and see how far he’s fallen. He blames
his situation on her sins. Because of
her sins, he has murdered a man and that will forever be on his conscious. He
also blames her for losing what he loves most…. his lands (too bad MA will get
her hands on those soon!). So he doesn’t have to think about anything, he
prefers to drown his sorrows with alcohol (yea, like that’s not going to get
you into more problems. What’s wrong with you brothers? Please, just once act
like you have a brain!). Raiza stops for
a visit and tells him to stop drinking (she almost seems sincere). Miguel acts
surprised and tells her not her too (oh gee, sorry for caring). Raiza reminds
him he has to work tonight, and to do so he needs to have a clear mindset. He
tells her that Lucia wants to come to La Famosa Isla, but Raiza firmly tells
him to say no way! Raiza comes up with a plan for Octavio to somehow convince
Lucia to stay at the ranch.

Qué Bonito Amor #84 (Mex 122) Friday 8/9/13 The Thrill Is Gone--But The Slow Burn Ain't
Cap 122 or thereabouts.....
Lo Del Pasado:
Susanito
is free at last, free at last!
Ruben
continues to badmouth Jorge Alfredo and to offer his “solid citizen’s” shoulder
to cry on for Maria. Maria doesn’t want
to hear it. Now that Ruben realizes Maria
and JAntos are on the outs he tries to widen the divide every chance he gets. He
and Maria have walked in on Elvira forcibly locking lips uhhhh-gain with JA who
gets an accusatory earful from his angry ex. It’s more of the hey, I just work here and I am
heading back to L.A. now that I’ve done what I said I would for you and since
there’s nothing keeping me here any longer.
Trampira and Rubber exchange shit-eating grins of approval with each
other.
Isa and Jalisquito continue their battle of the sexes.
Isa and Jalisquito continue their battle of the sexes.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Rodrigo
finds a way to earn a bit of extra cash and spends it on poster board “I Love
You” signs to wave up at Paloma through the balcony window. (Yawn.) FF>>
Once
the others are gone, Rub tells JAntos that for as much as he’s tried to force
JA out of Maria’s life and away from his comfy barrio buds, he becomes more and
more established [afianzarse] within the community. He accuses JA of playing games with Maria’s
feelings and hurting her. JA tells Rub he’s
a poor loser who has no dignity and begs for the love of a woman who’ll never
respond to him.
Trampira
tries pestering Maria while she’s counting bottles at the bar. Maria tells Vi to can it and tells Vi how sad
it is to see a woman humiliate herself by subjecting herself to continual
refusals from a man who wants nothing to do with her. “—You’d have to kill me to destroy the love
tie between Jorge Alfredo and me!” Vi tells
herself that just might be worth the effort.
“—Have it your way!” (Hey, she
already killed once; what’s another life more or less?)
JA
says he didn’t break it off with Maria; he simply let her go. Anyway, he’s not
like de Olmo who gets a sick kick out of playing with people’s feelings, always
enjoying seeing them squirm. Rub claims
he’s making Maria suffer—something he’d never do because he lurrrrves Maria so.
“—No you desire
her and that’s quite different!!
You simply cannot stand the fact that a humble woman would reject the
opulent life you offer her!” “—What’s
wrong with offering her a world she’s never known?” “--Nobody asked you to! And, anyway, I can offer her that and much
more.” Rub reminds JA that he’s got to
deal with American justice first. JA is
all back atcha! “--Yeah, I will
eventually get it all worked out. And what
about you when the law finally catches up with you?” No matter, he continues. “--Oh, and don’t get too chummy with Maria
while I’m gone, because before I leave I’m making sure she’ll never look twice
at a guy like you!” JA exits stage left. Ruben snarls to himself afterwards that Santos
is going to fall fast and hard and will soon be keeping company with Giuliano…..
Mil
Amores, still off his game, admits to himself that he loves Ana with all his
might and decides to write her a love letter expressing his feelings. Unfortunately for Mil, he’s only thinking
with half his brain. Mil keeps it anonymous
so that when he slips the envelope under Ana’s apartment door, Seven Seas finds
it and hands it to her during lunch. She
naturally thinks it came from Seven Seas, and he isn’t exactly in any hurry to correct
the notion either.
Jalisquito
gets honked off that Isa has won their little sidewalk soccer game. Mil gives the kid lessons on keeping his “disappointment”
from a female. They share more “Big
Brother” moments and practice a few new songs together.
Concho
surprises Lourdes with flowers and her favorite perfume. (A woman is always a sucker for a beautiful
bouquet—and damn if this one isn’t one of the most intriguing ones I’ve ever
seen!) She seems to be fighting the urge
and Viewerville hopes she sticks to her guns.
He offers to make her dinner. She
doesn’t know if she’ll let him.
At
the same time, pobre de Murna’s slumming and still in her nightie and slippers. She swears she’s going to get even with the
Hernandez family and make them pay for humiliating her.
Back
at the bar, JAntos is heading out for home.
Maria chases after him and begs for forgiveness again. He refuses again and says something inside of
him has broken. He’s been betrayed by
friends and lovers. She swears she never
betrayed him. He says it was enough that
she took de Olmo’s side over his and then admits he simply no longer has it in
him to forgive. She swears that no
matter where he goes and how far he goes, he will never get rid of her or
forget her because his heart belongs to her; when he eventually is able to
forgive her and return, she’ll be there waiting for him.
Rub
tells Maria later on that the cold and heartless way JA is treating her is
proof that he’s really not the great guy she thought he was. “--Nobody should ignore the sacrifices others
have made for them! He’s showing his
true colors.” Maria takes this with a
wary grain of salt cuz she knows she stuck her foot in it, big time with de
Olmo.
Fernando
advises JA to forgive and forget, but JAntos says this time he can’t. He is just hurting too bad. He only ever felt this bad when his mother
died, he says, and perhaps that means that his love for Maria is dying
also. No way, says Fer. It will never die, but you have to learn that
love means forgiveness. “—if we can’t
forgive then we cannot love. (Sounds a bit convoluted to me, but I guess that’s
another cute way of saying love means never having to say you’re sorry, right?)
And
the show must go on! That night JA, with
a sad glance at Maria, chooses to open the set with “Te Solte La Rienda”. Maria is heartbroken. He finishes the song and she sings “Si Nos
Dejan” to him and holds out her hand once she’s finished. He thinks it over for a few loooooong seconds
and decides to ignore her and walk off the stage. (Ouch!)
Well, we can't exactly say she didn’t have it coming……

La Tempestad, Cap. 10, Friday, August 9: No offense, dude, but my hands smell like fish.
Demetrius:
Do I entice you? do I speak you fair?
Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth
Tell you, I do not, nor I cannot love you?
Helena:
And even for that do I love you the more.
I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you*
*A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II, scene 1.
The old:
Hernán has a post-dinner tantrum. Marina snaps at DamFab for walking into her office without knocking -- "Didn't anyone teach you better?" When DamFab attributes her petty tyranny to jealousy, Marina is all "Me, jealous?" ¡Está usted loco!
The new:
Hernán Haskell, a vision in tight orange pants, breezes into Marina's office with a chirpy "Buenos días" and then, noticing the glaring contest between the two pretty protagonistas, asks if he is interrupting anything. DamFab sighs and mockingly repeats Marina's reproach: "Didn't they teach you to knock?" Marina puts on a show for DamFab's benefit, greeting HH warmly, thanking him for the wonderful evening, kissing his cheek.
That Esthercita is being fitted for her wedding gown doesn't keep her from needling her with-friends-like-this-who-needs-enemies best friend, Mayuya. Behind her, the seamstress warns Esthercita to stop fidgeting or she's going to stick her with a pin.
[Do it! someone calls from the Patio.]
Mayuya stares up at the preening little E. If looks could kill...
Hernán extends his hand: "Hernán Saldaña, capitán." DamFab keeps his own arms crossed on his chest: "No offense, but my hands smell like fish." But H is offended and Marina rushes to his defense. When H leans over to kiss Marina's hand, DamFab snickers. But when Hernán pulls out his wallet to pay the captain for risking his life and saving Marina, DamFab stops smiling. He reminds H that not everything is for sale.
As DamFab exits, we catch a glimpse of the Sabritas machine in the hallway. And we are reassured that, whatever her problems, Marina will always have something to nosh on.

PEAM #109- 8/9/13: What Time Is It? Time for Barbara to Exit Stage Left, Mari to Tell The Truth, Vero and Roger to Pull Plan B, That's What Time It Is!
Hola PEAM Peeps! I am going to try and make this a down and dirty recap, in other words, I tend to be wordy and let's see how brief I can be. This recap, of course, will not be in order.
The Refried:
We had the refried again, as in Mari must tell the truth, Alma calls Chucho for a date later, Xochi talks to Chatita, who informs her there is no answer at her apartment, cause she was going to visit Barbara. Oh, and Vero meets Roger (her name for Rogue) at a restaurant where they will hatch new mis planes!
The New:
Chucho is at Orion at work and thinks about what Aida said about Auggie (Augusto) not liking anyone's personal life, it's work, work and more work. In comes Vicky, Auggie's secretary and she is sliming herself all over Chucho. He is trying very hard to ignore her. She is getting into his personal space like white on rice, jus' sayin'. She has come in to tell him he must go to the conference room for a meeting.
Vero and Roger are going to ally themselves against Chucho since they hate his guts! Vero gets all over Roger's case about putting Val in danger with that stupid plan he had, well Roger is all pithed cause Alma almost lost her life too! Roger tells her that of course Chucho saved the day once again, Alma and Chucho are better than eva, and well Vero has a plan to maybe do something about that! Using Val of course, what else is new? Here is plan B: Leave it to Vero, and Roger will get what he wants. She'll use Valentina to get what she wants out of Chucho. They both lustily growl at each other. A Pox on the two of them!
Romegio is enthusiastically greeting people at Avon and tipping his hat. Gasper has to tell him to cool it!

La Tempestad, Capitulo 9. August 8 2013. Hernan Plays The Violin, Damian Plays The Guitar, Marina Has A Jealous Snit.
We begin where we left off the previous night. Damian has brought Marina a bouquet of red roses to thank her for having saved him from jail and curing his wound. Marina thanks Damian for the roses and tells him that she has to go to packing plant. Damian offers to accompany her to packing plant. He may not have a fancy car but it will be his pleasure to accompany her. Marina prefers that he rest after all he just got out of the hospital. Damian will do as Marina says just so he won't argue with her so early in the morning. Damian will go to La Tempestad to see the unloading of the fish. He excuses himself.
There is more gazing between the two of them before Damian leaves.

Mercedes recalls some of the most recent events in her life. She opens a drawer and takes out a photo of her twins when they were babies. "The time of the truth is near and I won't be able to hide it. Everything comes." she says. She picks up the phone to make phone call.
At the packing plant, Hernan has come to see how Marina is doing after the complicated day she had the day before when she was out at sea. Marina tells Hernan that she's fine and tells him that he is so well-mannered. Hernan responds by telling her probably the only truth that will come out of his mouth - he tells her that he is not so well mannered, he's egotistic and self-interested. Hernan tells Marina that a gentlemen should do these things without wanting something else. Marina doesn't understand what he means. Hernan tells her that he didn't only come to see how she was doing. He also came to ask her out on a date. He'd love her to come to dinner at his house. Oh and her mother is invited too. Marina accepts the invitation. Hernan will come to pick her up. He knows they will have a good time. He says that by coming to dinner Marina will also be able to forget the nightmare that she lived the day before with those dirty sailors. He also says that maybe if God wants they will get to know each other again. He tells her that they will see each other later and he leaves.

Qué Bonito Amor #83 (Mex 121) Thursday 8/8/13 Que Bonita Apelación
Maria won't let their relationship be over. Jantos gives her a hard time about wounding him mortally with her words. Maria can't get a word in edgewise. Jantos is feeling an abyss eating him from inside, he's so hurt, and he swears it's over and he doesn't know how to forgive, cause she fell down on the job and never taught him how. "Ojala que te vaya bonito," he says, and departs, leaving her in tears.
The LA cops want OGto come with them and have his fingerprints taken. To rule him out, of course. Bruno agrees he'll be there tomorrow. NO, damnit! Don't let him go tomorrow! He'll go burn his damn hands off in the meantime! The Godfather wants OG to disappear. He figures Santos has won.
Maria cries in her apartment while Jantos cries in his. Do not throw that blanket out the window, Jantos, I'm warning you! No, he wraps himself in it and looks at the moon. Meanwhile, Maria is wrapped in her shawl and we switch from "Ojala Que Te Vaya Bonito" to "Que Bonito Amor." Maria cries on the floor. Jantos cries to his teddy. Maria cries to the loveseat while Jantos mopes with the teddy by the light of the moon. Oh, never mind, he's not crying. He's implacable. Dumbass.
Rodrigo asks Colosso to please not leave just when they're getting to know each other. Colosso swears they'll still have a relationship. Colosso is leaving his hat for Roddy. Like Wolverine left his dog tags for Rogue in the first X-Men movie. Roddy's begging is to no avail. So now we've got…what…3 people crying? I still want to count Jantos as one of them.

Corazon Indomable Cap. 63 8/8/13 “(You’re) Having My Baby. What a lovely way of sayin’ how much you love me.”
Thanks to Adriana Noel and LatinaInMD for recapping
during my vacation.
Our intrepid and lavishly-dressed
heroine is fighting battles on all sides.
At the casino, partner Carola and the obsessed Emir Karim are trying to disrupt
control of her empire. The Gov., the Emir, and the renovated Teo are ready to
storm her heart (not to mention her body.) “Shut Up, Doris” is an annoying gnat buzzing
around, trying to keep MA away from Daddy Gov.
MariAle’s thirst for vengeance is
driving her life to exclusion of anything else. Solita is on character lockdown
and little Lupita rates only a plot-device mention in tonight’s action. Her
wardrobe is dominated by red dresses, probably symbolic of the blood she’s
ready to shed.
Casino
Bar
As we open, the Gov. just left her side, and Octavio waits for his appointment with destiny. MA takes him to the deserted bar, where they can speak privately and avoid gossip. Their conversation is intense, punctuated with burning gazes and equally scorching kisses. (Save this one on DVD for a winter night when the house needs some heat.)

The basic point? The Gov. wants to
marry MariAle, Doris wants to marry Octavio but can’t stand MA. The only way MA
will cede control of the Gov. and his proposal is for Doris to give her Tav. If
Doris won’t give in, MA could end up as Tav’s mother-in-law. He needs to take some action (not exactly his
strong suit.)

let’s go one deep (one on one) and Uri starts bitch slapping Jesus. (We hear Alma and her dreaded
scream) Jesus keeps on beckoning
Uri telling him that he is not a man and lets fight without the gun. Jesus punches Uri once and Uri
asks for another with his gun and tells Jesus that he is going to die.

La Tempestad Cap #8 - Wed 7 August - Sluts and Booze!!!!*
*I couldn’t think of a title so I used my favorite line of the episode.
Welcome to The Patio of Lowered Expectations, where every Wednesday is Hump Hunk Day and we feature an all-day Happy Hour.
Last night - We left Capitán Dam Fab and his newest crew gazing at each other while the boom box blasted “Today I want you, Hoy tengo ganas de ti!”
Tonight - Mayuya the faux-happy frenemy is “so excited” that Estercita is alive and gets to marry Dam Fab. Mayuya’s half-a$$ed smile barely disguises the seething volcano inside and she almost erupts when Delfina excitedly tells Princess Estercita she’ll be the most beautiful bride in the world.

Ruben to give up on Susanito's case and give up on Maria. Not only that, Jantos threatened to kill
him! He might have done so too if Elvira
hadn't arrived just then to save him.
Maria apologizes but he tells her she's no to blame for Jantos' violent
character. Maria is tending to his
wounds and we see Jantos walking up. He
witnesses her tender touch and Ruben's caressing her cheek. Well, that's enough – he barges in and
wonders why Ruben can't understand he needs to stay away from Maria! He pulls him up from his chair but Maria gets
between them. Jantos gets a good look at
him and sees Ruben's injuries. “Hey,
wait a minute, that's not how I last saw you!”
Ruben: “You're not going to deny
that you went to my office and beat me up, are you?” Jantos again denies having beat him. Ruben asks Maria to please ask Jantos to
assume responsibility for his actions.
As always, Maria takes someone else's side against Jantos. “Were you so angry that he was helping me
that you insisted he drop out (of Susanito's case?)”

PEAM # 107-8/7/13: Danger! Danger! Everybody Could Die! Including Two Forty Year Old Virgins!
Recap By Pablo
Won't we all? But, what's the hurry?
Aída is probably breaking a promise but what the heck, Delia is nowhere to be found and Alma is more important than anything, so she calls her to warn her and tell her that Jesús and everybody he knows is in danger. If he doesn't comply to Uri's demands, there could be a huge pile of picadillo and a lot of people missing. You do the math.
Since Alma is already at Chatita's, and Elías is there too, she quickly shares the 411 she's got. Everybody panics and thinks about Valentina, who due to her age and size, could be in the most danger. We grown ups can deal with anything, but what about the little ones? Think about them, they're defenseless! Just to be on the safe side, Valentina will skip school tomorrow and before Elías leaves, Chatita gives him the long version of her famous blessing.
In another place but at the same time, Jesús promises himself that Uri won't be able to touch even a hair from any of the three women in his life, so Chatita, Alma and Valentina can rest assured that nothing will happen to them as long as Jesús can stand up for them. He leaves Orión and rides a beautiful new car to be inconspicuous, but that is still more strange, and since Malvino and Sixto are watching him, they proceed to follow Uri's instructions.
Jesús, who is smarter than cute, quickly finds out he is being followed and tries to get rid of one of the many dumb couples that populate Monterrey. And when I say that I am not exaggerating, because they come by twos and I have seen them working as security guards at Avon, as accountants, etc.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 7. August 6th 2013. Hysterics, Sleeping Doctor, Red Pants, and A Wounded Captain!
Damian removes the bomb from the bottom of the boat. He is shot with a spear gun. There is a lot of blood. He floats to the surface.
Marina and the crew are worried about Damian who still hasn't swam up to the surface. Bagre, Oso, and Lagarto will dive underwater to find out what is happening.
Mayuya sees that Esthercita has taken pills to kill herself. She checks Esthercita's pulse and sees that Esthercita almost doesn't have a pulse. She is about to go and tell someone but thinks about twice in her evil mind. Why should I care? I won't tell anyone! Esthercita took those pills because she wanted to. If she dies, then I'll have Damian! (Only in your dreams, Mayuya and maybe not even there)
Bagre, Oso, and Lagarto dive underwater. They find Damian. Lolo throws a flotation device into the water. The crew tries to get Damian aboard the ship.
