Mentir Para Vivir #29 Thu 11/14/13 Llegar para Sorprender
As everyone files into the boardroom, Ricardo asks Inés if that's Jose Luis or not. She lies, remembering the threats he made.
Francisco (JL) dangles the possibility of expansion in front of the board. He also brings up the idea of offering lower quality fabrics at a lower price, making up for it by moving a greater quantity. Ricardo seems not to object, although he was the one who brought up the company's reputation being based on the quality of their fabrics. What he does object to, after Inés asks what role the Caribbean Investment With Potentially Funny Money Firm will play, is that in order to carry out this huge expansion, they would have to depend on the CIWPFMF's cash, since Aresti Breton doesn't have that kind of liquidity. That would make CIWPFMF the majority shareholder in Aresti Breton. I vote no. Oh, wait, crap, I'm not on the board. Paloma comes to visit. I'm digging the hat, babe!
Eliseo schleps Francisco's luggage over to Casa Bonita where he runs into Felipe…oops! Eliseo talks fast and claims he got fired from being caretaker at El Descanso, so he got a job as a cab driver, and he met Francisco Castro and got a job being his "achichincle" (henchdude). He whines about his hurt shoulder so Felipe will carry the bag and then makes a cara de "me fregué!" (I'm screwed!) while Felipe's back is turned.

CI capítulo 133 – 11-14-13 – Some People Are Packing Up and Leaving Town
Scenes are grouped under topic and
may be described out of order. I always thought Solita was undeservedly
ignored, so I felt compelled to write an account from her point of view. It’s at
the end of the recap and not part of the action, so feel free to ignore it.
Previously,
more or less
Tav thinks about Maricruz and decides it’s alright if she marries for love, but not from need.
Padre Julian and Nilda talk. Solita lived a life of disability, but it was due to Nilda’s ignorance and her errors.
Alvaro hears Perrico say he’ll be best man at the wedding, but really came to warn the birdbrain that drastic action is needed to keep Solita with him. He needs to grab her and run away.
Herminio meets Octavio outdoors, carrying baby Octavito. Simona gave the baby to a couple living in a shack. Tav cuddles the baby and takes him home.

Life in
the Mad House
Ofelia is ecstatic to see Tav returning with his son and heir. He instructs Ofe on the new safety standards: the baby will sleep in her room and she is to watch him carefully.

Defense against crazy Simona becomes
a moot point when Ofelia finds her on the floor of her room, completely
unresponsive. She runs screaming for Migreedy, afraid Simona is dead. Tav is
gone, but the situation won’t wait. Migreedy will call an ambulance to get her
to the hospital. Tav arrives home as the
ambulance crew is loading Simona. He gets the story of her collapse from Miguel
and says he’s going to the hospital.
The doctor says Simona is in deep
shock and is a difficult case.

Corazon Indomable #132, The search continues.
MC tells Solita that Nilda is her mother. Solita doesn't seem to understand, MC then repeats it to Perico as if he wasn't standing right there when she said it and acts like he just heard it for the first time too. They all leave Solita alone with Nilda to not talk. Nilda cries and Solita wonders what is going on. I have a halloween wig that looks just like Nilda's hair.
Octavio is searching for the missing baby.

La Tempestad Capitulo 78 , Wed 11/13/13 - What’s good for Fulgencio is always bad for someone else.
Ahoy amigos y amigas, thank you for hanging in there with us amid all the crazy cuts and random editing. All the scenes that were edited out of tonight's episode are in BLUE. The scenes are mostly in order. Thank you for your patience.
The Phonymoon - Last night we left Marina in a very uncomfortable situation. To wit, Hernan is ready to “claim” his wife. He has forced her to the bed and she yells over and over for him to let her go. “Suelteme!!”
Hernan, in a convenient moment of self-awareness, realizes what he’s doing and sobs his apologies. Marina tells him he’s the worst of men, grabs her shirt and baby, and leaves him weeping in a pathetic heap on the floor. Whew! That was close.

Mentir Para Vivir #28 Wed 11/13/13 JL makes Oriana an offer she can’t refuse, or can she?
Table
for Two
JL tries to get Oriana back but he's not getting anywhere. She's
not willing to forgive and forget. He begs for forgiveness for this one
error. After all she's suffered, she can't believe he'd ask her for
forgiveness. Yeah, he can see how she's suffering, kissing another man!
She admits she has a novio. She had to have a reason to move
forward and besides, she had been told JL was dead. She tells him Lucina and
Raquel are the only ones who know her true identity.

PEAM #177- 11/13/13: The End Is Near, Repent Veronica! Look to Jesus, Jesus Loves You (Sorry, We Don't Mean Garcia)!
Recap By Pablo
This is the recap of a very stupid episode (I am so glad this ordeal is almost over)
Fo-fo-for you, Je-je-Jesús, the sky is the li- is the li- is the limit!
It's weird that this stutterer friend of Jesús, whom he considers almost his brother, was not seen (or heard of) in any of the 175 previous episodes. I guess he had to be a stutterer because that's funny (to who is not), specially when they always start their phrases with what we think would be a bad word, but when they finally say it, it turns out it was not!! It was not funny 20 years ago and is still not funny. Popó, popó, por favor haz caca, haz caca, camino al andar!
It wouldn't hurt to try, if you could handle the truth...
Patricia is talking to Delia in the hope that she allows Rogelio a special permit to attend her best friend's big wedding. Sorry Charlie,
1) Delia is out of town and
2) Personal matters are not to interfere with prison regulations
Heartbroken, Patricia starts walking aimlessly. Her brain orders her legs to move, but her heart has stopped responding... meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, in Avon's media room she is being awaited... without her, there could be NO WEDDING!!

Mentir Para Vivir #27 Tue 11/12/13 You Mess with Her, You Mess with Me! Capische?
Aresti Breton, Ricky’s Office: Lila and Berto have shown up unannounced. Lila would like to recommend a new investor group that wants to partner with Aresti Breton in South America and Europe. Francisco Castro is her contact’s name. Upon hearing that name, Oriana practically jumps out of her skin. Ricky immediately agrees and says that they want to introduce Mr. Castro to the board. Oriana also thinks it’s a good idea, but she wants to consult with Paloma first. Oriana asks for the name of the company. Where are their accounts? Berto says that they have a lot of accounts in the Cayman Islands. All Rich people have accounts in the Cayman Islands. Ricky abruptly ends the meeting. After the siblings leave, Oriana tells Ricky that Francisco Castro was the name of the man who was in the restaurant. She’s certain that Francisco is really Jose Luis. If Francisco Castro invests, the money is dirty. Ricky says that may be the case, but it’s better to keep your enemies close to you. They will do whatever Paloma says. Oriana says that Paloma will do whatever Ricky says, so that does not comfort her.

La Tempestad Cap #77. November 12th 2013. Repeat After Me: "They All Warned You Marina But You Didn't Listen!"
Ep #115 and #116 were combined tonight. Scenes out of order. No color combination tonight since I did a lot of combining to make the recap flow better.
Ep #115
Fully Confesses His Love
Magda and Marina can't quite understand Fully's concern for their mother. Fully questions them about Claudio. Magda responds: "He's a friend of my mother's". Fully confesses his unrequited love for Mercedes. It was unrequited because Mercedes loved Michel Fabre. Fully excuses himself and leaves.
On La Tempestad:
The bullet is removed and Bagre disinfects the DamWound. While DamFab is in pain, over in viewerville we can't help but enjoy the view of his DamFineAbs.
DamFab tells Bagre and Lolo about Marina's marriage to Hernan. They are so impactados with the news they each chug down some booze. DamNeedsSomeBoozeToo wants some booze too and is given some to chug down. DamFab tells Bagre and Lolo that Marina was forced into marriage with Hernan. DamFab will plan his next step. He'll rescue Marina and his daughter without putting them at risk. He'll lay low so Hernan thinks he's DamDead. That way Hernan will be taken by surprise with his return.
There is a lot of back and forth with this: DamFab wants to rescue Marina and his daughter. He could care less about the DamWound. DamFab doesn't want the DamWound checked on while the crew insists it get checked on. This goes on for several scenes until DamFab FINALLY agrees to the DamWound getting checked on.

PEAM, Tuesday 11/12/13 (#176): Hugs, Kisses, Clues, and Dead Ends
After work, Ferni and Xochi visit Fernando's dad at the old folks' home. Dad is aquiver with tentative excitement and Parkinson's. He's been keeping up with his sons' lives through the newspapers; he read about Fernando's wedding and Rogelio's imprisonment. Maybe someone should tell him about these recaps.
Dad is remorseful and contrite about being such a lousy father; he doesn't blame Fernando for not having visited sooner. Fernando explains that Rogelio actually told him that their father was dead. Dad doesn't blame Rog for that, either. Fernando tells him not to dwell on the past - there's still the future, and five new grandchildren on the way!
Dad says it was worth the wait to finally see Fernando again. Fernando forgives him, and they hug.
It's Friday the 7th of June, by the way. Valentina is aghast that her father and Alma have to wait nearly a year and a half to get married in the cathedral of their choice. (It's where Alma's parents got married. Look how well that marriage turned out!) Then the phone rings. Guess who it is? Guess!

CI #131 -- Lost and Found: Simona Misplaces The Mini-Tav While Nilda Makes Contact With Solita
We settle in for another round of redneck hobsnobbery as the doc is informing Esther, Octavio and Miguel
that Jose Antonio will be off the job for the next two weeks, and admits that
he has a legal duty to report the shooting. Esther goes in to chat with her hubby while Migui
and Tav ask if the doc knows who shot JA and why. The doc tells them what JA told him: that it
was a tenant from Rancho Narvaez over some personal dispute. (Sorry, Doc, but the name’s been changed to El
Abuelo. I suppose they forgot to make
the script change…..) Tav thinks out
loud saying he’s relieved it wasn’t about “her”…..la Sra. Maricruz. Migui does a quick verbal shuffle explaining
how Esther and she don’t get along and that perhaps JA wanted to avoid having
to mention her name. The doc says nope,
nothing like that and then takes his leave.
Migui does another mental number on Tav to make him continue to doubt MC’s
good character when it comes to other men in the region.

Mentir Para Vivir #26 Mon 11/11/13 Mentir para engañar a la tonta de Lila
Jose Luis is explaining Eliseo that he bailed on Raquel’s inauguration
party because he can’t be seen by his wife just yet. Idiot Eliseo thinks this
is Corazon Indomable and some beard and a different hair could forbid Oriana from
recognizing her husband, but JL knows better.
Joaquin calls just then and JL explains that he found the company to use
for their lavado de dinero (money laundering)
– they don’t need the capital, but he’s sure he can pull off the transaction.
We don’t hear how much money they’ll “invest”, but it’s a lot.
Eliseo tries to find out what is the deal, but JL puts him in his place.
Casa Bonita is getting ready for the big opening, with a pool filled of
flower petals. Nice.
Ruben is getting all dressed up to go to the party; since Madhilde wasn’t
invited, she wants him to refuse attendance, too – normally, I’d agree with the
wife in situations like this, but this is Maddy, so she has it well deserved.
She thinks they should have at least invited her as a gesture and if she
can’t go, then Ruben won’t either. But he really, really wants to go – and he
states this in a ridiculous childish voice, like he was a 10 year old going to
his first sleep over.
Maddy accuses him of sleeping with one of the women, el desgraciado!
Oriana, Alina, Ricardo and Paloma arrive at the party; Lucina welcomes
them, as Raquel looks on. Then she notices that Lucina is searching for Ruben
in the crowd. Raquel explains that Francisco isn’t attending because he’s in a
business trip; Lucina implies that something might be going on between Raquel
and Francisco, because, you know, she’s Raquel.

La Tempestad, November 11, 2013. Capitulo 76.
DamFab comes to tell his daughter and Marina good night. Ungrateful Marina tells him there is no need. Just because their daughter was born doesn't mean anything has changed. Estercita is still expecting a another child of his. DamFab reminds her that it was a set-up. Marina recognizes that, but he let himself fall victim. DamFab feels that the baby Estercita is expecting is not his. He asks her to have confidence in him. He loves her. They kiss.
Mexico City: Crazy Hernan tells Ernesto how much he really hates him. You have turned me into a man without scruples. He pulls out a gun. Ernesto asks him if he would kill his own father. Crazy eyed Hernan tells him to come up with a better lie. Ernesto says he is not afraid of death and is not lying. But you told me you killed by parents replies Hernan. Ernesto says I ordered the man who raised you to die. I liked your mother but she kept rejecting me. So that is why I took her by force. Shut up! yells Hernan. You are making me tell you everything and you will know the truth. She kept quiet so that I wouldn't do anything to her husband. Somehow he found out the truth and that is why I ordered for them both to be killed. How can you talk about this coldly? Ernesto says in this type of business there are no feelings. That is why I never told you where they were buried. There was no reason for you to mourn them. Crazy eyed Hernan grabs Ernesto and says he's going to kill him. Ernesto dares him to shoot the man that gave him life. Crazy eyed Hernan tells Ernesto he detests him. He can't kill him, but life is a b!tch and it will make him pay for all he has done. Ernesto says he knew that Hernan didn't have the balls to do it. Ernesto tells Hernan that even though he has become a traitor, he can't kill him since he is his son. Hernan says he preferred to never know that Ernesto is his father. I would rather have died not knowing the truth. He leaves.

PEAM #175, Nov. 11 - Penultimate Monday - A Night Without Veronica Is A Night To Party, Party, Party
With heartfelt thanks to our military men and women who give so much to their country, I hope we all observed and honored this Veterans Day (named Veterans Day in 1954) was established in 1919 and re-dedicated in 1938 as Armistice Day, November 11, celebrated and dedicated to the cause of world PEACE. Anyway, happy holiday to our heroes!!
But enough for now we need to see Yuri approaching the doomed Rogelio at the prison that has become so like a fraternity meet up until Yuri steps into the cafeteria to scare the recovering wheel chair bound curly top. Both looked like there are great barbers in the prison.
Jesus is rushing to set up interference in the prison but Yuri's flunkies roll Rogelio to his date with Picadillo. Yuri waves a plastic spoon letter opener or juarever while he threatens but the wheel chair is left empty while Rogelio stabs Yuri with his weapon, suddenly when Jesus can get no action from the police because they haven't heard any death screams, the death screams come from a bloodied Yuri. Rather than being astounded in fear, the adoring Yuri crowd celebrates the fall of the giant and Jack rides off in triumph for the moment.
Chatita's diagnosis of sore throat is confirmed by the real doctor who assures her and Alma that baby Luisa is perfectly well.

Corazon Indomable #130, 11/11/13: Ren & Stimpy Rule the World!...uhm, the Ranch!; Who Shot JA?
You keep your dream, and I'll keep the money! – Ren & Stimpy
Ren and Stimpy, aka Miguel and Tav, discuss taking over the
world, uhm… $imona’s ranch. Dimwitted Stimpy agrees to put the management of
$imona’s lands in Ren’s eager greedy hands. Tav will do the legal paper work. Happy-happy, joy-joy! (Ren & Stimpy)
Miguel knocks back a double shot of tequila, and convinces
Tav that it’s best that no one else know just how crazy Simona is. But then he
turns around and tries once again to convince Tav to lock her up, since she could
be a danger to both of their sons. Tav refuses.
At Rancho Abuelo, MC and Juanita ream Perico out about
impregnating Solita, especially given that Solita is still recovering from pneumonia
and is in delicate health. Perico doesn’t seem to understand how this could be
(uhm, shall we explain it with dolls or stick figures?). MC insists that they
need to be married by the Church, immediately. Juanita is a little less
understanding and calls him a criminal! After the dumb shock wears off, Perico seems
to be happy about the news, but for some stupid reason he doesn’t mention that
he and Solita are already married by law (por el civil). He does say that he
loves Solita. He has no family and was raised like an animal in the mountains
(that explains a lot!). MC is cool with him, as long as he doesn’t leave his
child in the same wild animal conditions. And he needs a plan for supporting
his woman and his two kids. He assures them that this wasn’t Solita’s fault and
they love each other. Juanita’s ready to tear him a new one, but MC thinks what’s
done is done, and now they need to get the Padre to marry them. Then MC scolds
Juanita for her part in not preventing the horny teenagers from having sex,
because that’s the priority when there are two toddlers to look after. Perico
runs upstairs to see Solita, and MC waxes romantic about leaving the kids alone
to enjoy their sweet romance (well, the damage IS already done).

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE, week of November 11, 2013. La Reina del Sur is back in town!
Jean and I decided to try something a little different this week. Since there is already a lot of interest in the continuing novelas, Marido en Alquiler and Santa Diabla, and the rebroadcast of La Reina del Sur is likely to stir up a flurry of its own, we have decided to post THREE SEPARATE PAGES:
This page -- THE FRONT PAGE -- is the space for discussions of La Reina del Sur, ¿Dónde Está Elisa? and any other Telemundo, Unimas or Mundo2 shows.
Feel free to copy and paste our old comments and recaps of La Reina here. Some of us have seen this one, maybe more than once, and are planning to sit out this showing. But if you have already seen the novela and want to join the conversation, please go ahead! But remember that this remains a SPOILER-FREE page.
Novelera has offered to write a full recap of the first episode of La Reina del Sur to get things started. After that, you can figure out what you'd like to do -- recap? mini-recap? just discuss? borrow from the past? It's up to you, Telemundo fans!
Remember: Post comments and mini-recaps (or not so mini-recaps) for Santa Diabla on its own separate page here; and for Marido en Alquiler on its own separate page here.

The viewers all were glued to WL
We passengers set sail that day for a three month tour
A three month tour
The ratings started getting rough
The scissors them came out
If not for the courage of the fearless recappers
This Tempest would be lost
This Tempest would be lost.

With Gloria, and Mauricio
The Capitan and NovelaMaven
Elna June and Madelaine too and of course
The viewers and commenters too,

Porque el Amor Manda #174: More Monkeyshines
[Done from memory, without notes...because WHY SHOULD I WORK HARDER THAN THE WRITERS?]
Roger gets all prettied up for the jailhouse wedding. We know he's a good guy now coz they finally found him some shoes that don't clash with his suit. Paty has more fabric in her left sleeve than the whole rest of her dress, casual. They kind of fast-forward through the ceremony, which in typical Mexican fashion has five times more document-signing than kissing, but juarevs -- everyone's all smiles. No lasso of love, but I guess it's not the venue. Domi catches the bouquet, and she and Cantu do the happy dance.
Afterward the beaming couple repair to the rose-petal strewn prison infirmary conjugal suite, where Paty strips down to a particularly fetching Federico's of Monterrey number that has Rog's eyes popping. She bounces around on the bed, urging him to come and get it, rise and shine, throw away those crutches and walk, baby -- and he does! It's sort of a cross between Joanna Spyri's Heidi and a Viagra commercial, and yes, that's as creepy as it sounds. I don't think the monkeys should be allowed to collaborate. They have such different visions.

Corazon Indomable Episode #129: The Various Coats of Octavio Narvaez
We begin with JA/MC discussing Simona. MC wants the Narvaez
family to feel the pain she felt when they kidnapped Lupita (Too bad, I don’t
think either of them care about Simona that much). However, since she is much
better in character because she agrees to let JA take her back home. (The talk about
something that I did not quite catch but I believe it referred to MC suspecting
JA about something).
Simona returns to her house without a care in the world. She
informs our two upstanding men of honor (insert dripping sarcasm here) that she
just came back from a pleasant visit with Lucia. Miguel looks shocked while
Octavio is worried. She bids them goodnight and tells them that they better go
back home because Lucia is waiting. The minute she leaves McGreedy is quick to
say Octavio should detain her in a crazy house. Octavio who decided wear his
“Bleeding heart” coat today is appalled by Miguel brashness. He will care for
Simona till his dying day (yea..whatever, I’ve heard that before). Lets digress and discuss the various coats in
Octavio’s closet…. lets see we have jerk, insensitive, romantic (no worries
this coat is hidden with much dust over it). Then we have his most worn out
coat all, which is stupidity; actually I do not think he ever takes that
off.
Sorry back to the show…. Miguel does not like JA giving his
opinions on these matters. JA reminds them that if he goes down…they will too
(uh oh). Octavio decides to borrow someone’s “wise saying” coat and warns
Miguel…. this is why you shouldn’t involve yourself with delinquents.

Mentir Para Vivir #25 Fri 11/8/13 Bad Boy Berto Gets Bagged; Ricardo and Oriana Get Tagged
Cap. #25
Read more »
At Paloma’s expansive manse Oriana, aka
2nes, is pacing the floors and driving Paloma (as well as Viewerville) crazy
worrying about Ricardo’s safety. If she’s
that worried, suggests Paloma with wizened certitude, she should never have
broken off their relationship. 2nes says
no, they should never have allowed one to develop in the first place!
Across town at their new B&B, Lucina
and Raquel are discussing their list of invitees to their upcoming open
house. Lucina mentions that Raqi needs
to be a bit more tolerant of Oriana since she’s going through a bad spell. The cause?
It seems that Jose Luis never really died and is now in Hermosillo! Raqi’s first thought is that he’ll bring the
Colombian authorities down on all their heads and Oriana and the two of them
will end up being cellmates. Perhaps the Colombian authorities figured to
follow him here so they could track down his wife, suggests Raqi. No, they’d have already pounced if that was
the case, reasons Lucina. He no doubt
escaped and is here to get his wife and daughter back! “—Poor Oriana! She’s walking an emotional tightrope about
now!” Cara de serves-the-wench-right de
Raqi.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon for La Tempestad and PEAM denizens
I have basically ignored these two series for the most part because I'm not into comedies and because William Levy does nothing for me. However, since both of these are ending very shortly, the Karmageddons of their villains should be a hot topic that deserves its own discussion.

Mentir Para Vivir #24 Thu 11/7/13 Planificar para Atrapar
Paloma tells Ricardo that she can't talk to Inés about her past, she doesn't want to embarrass her. She figures Inés must be upset still because of the anonymous letter, but Ricardo disagrees. Lina shows up to chastise Ricardo for not taking her to the fair and buying her a hamburger and a ginormous milkshake. Ricardo says they can go right away, but she needs to get her mom's permission. Paloma begs off joining them. As Lina goes off to get permission, Paloma tells Ricardo she's also supposed to be throwing Lina a party, though she hasn't gotten started yet. Ricardo fills Paloma in on Maria's new medication and Sebastian's same crappy attitude.
Inés doesn't want to go to the fair and she doesn't want Lina to go either. Lina tries yelling, then she tries pouting, but Inés won't budge. Even pleading won't work.
Ricardo tells Paloma that he's wondering if Sebastian is really his son. He explains that when they were young Maria once ran away from the house and when he found her, she was flirting with some guy, so now he's wondering if maybe Maria was "promiscuous." Paloma doesn't believe it. She suggests asking Celio what he knows, since he's been with the family for so long. Inés shows up with her fake excuses why Lina can't go to the fair and raises Paloma's suspicions…Paloma assumes the blackmailer has been in contact and is now threatening Lina. This forces Inés to admit that, no, Lina hasn't been threatened, but the blackmailer has been in contact. Paloma wants to just pay them, but Ricardo argues that they'll never be able to stop once they start. Ricardo wants to look at Inés computer and Paloma tells her to have Lina come to her (Paloma's) room to play.

La Tempestad, Thursday November 7, 2013 —No Puede Ser
Miami, Florida
A Penthouse Apartment
To: Señor Televisa Ejecutivo
Senior Vice President
International Programming
Sales
Dear Señor Ejecutivo:
I am writing to inform you of
my progress in combining ‘La Tempestad’ with Disney’s ‘Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride’.
At the risk of sounding too self-congratulatory I must say that things are
going splendidly.
I am settling in to my ‘day
job’ at Univision in Miami and no one suspects that I am on a mission from
Corporate Televisa to undermine the mental health of the American TN viewing
audience. This editing position is a
piece of cake—really, I could just cut and chop at random and I think few would
notice.
However, Don Televisa, (I am
always your humble servant) I took your suggestion and used my time wisely
whilst recuperating in Los Angeles. I faithfully went to the tanning and
massage salon that you suggested and I took frequent field trips to Disneyland
with that unsophisticated dolt, Nareo.

CI capítulo 128, Thur. 11-7-13 -- The Good, the Bad, and the Crazy. (You Decide Who’s Who.)
Simona involves Maricruz in the main
drama of this episode. The Narvaez brothers share in this problem, while some
secondary characters stir and simmer their own drama in the background. The smaller matters will be summarized first,
then on to the juicy stuff.
Previously
Simona puts on a convincing show for the doctors, answering their questions correctly and appearing quite sane and logical. They leave.

Perico
discusses marriage at Solita (not with, exactly.) She understands once he
points to his ring finger. She happily mimes a wedding crown, veil, and long
train on a dress. He can’t afford a lavish wedding and somehow makes her
understand. She happily agrees to a simple ceremony.
Valdez
of the rodent face is visiting Vargas and saying the people must move from the
Rancho Narvaez settlement so gold extraction can begin.
Land Grabbing and Gossip
Valdez and Vargas discuss the wild colony (Realengo) and the rancho colony (Narvaez). If Vargas would just cooperate in moving everyone out, he could become the CEO of a utility company in the city. If he doesn’t, who knows where he could end up? (So much for Solita and MC hosting his wedding at the hacienda.)

Clorinda
stops by to visit Ester. The people are restless and miserable; they need to see
a solution to the land and housing problem. By the way, Amador is doing better
with his daughter Lina. He brings her treats and pays more attention to her. And
Simona is BSC. Clo needs to find Padre Julian and let him know there’s violence
brewing with the poor folk. That
evening, Padre Julian visits Ester and Clorinda returns. There are five sick
people at the riverside and the situation is dangerous.

PEAM #173- 11/7/13- The Garcia- Montemayor Family Can Never Have a Happy Family Function
Good evening to all, it’s me Luisita once again.
My brother’s dad is back in jail and some idiot named Darwin
is bothering him about that monster, Uri.
This idiot said that he knows that Rogelio has money hidden and he could use it for them.
I’m at work with my mami and my papi. They will be home about 9. Paty asks what time they are going to
be home. She is acting very
suspicious.
At mi abuela- Chatita’s house she is waiting for Cricket Face. My soon to be abuelo, Panfilo. He cleans up well.

The return of Lupita Narvaez CI #127 Wed Nov.7th, 2013
My DVR ate the episode, I tried to look online for it and only found bits of it, the following is what I was able to see, if I can find the episode online tonight I'll come back and re-do this :(
An open letter to Perrico:
Dear Perrico, I think I speak for all of viewerville when I say that you need to go pound sand! If you love Natrasha then go be with her and leave poor Solita alone. She needs someone who is kind and loyal and you are neither. Is there something in the water that makes you and everyone else in this godforsaken story believe that marriage is the solution to all your problems? Do I need to remind you that the last person who someone married out of pity now has a brain tumor? Do you want your own brain tumor? Thought not. Please Perrico if you don't love Solita leave her alone, or else we will all get out our pointy sticks and hunt you like a dog.
Kisses and Hugs,
Eli

Synopsis: English translation of the teaser for 'Lo Que La Vida Me Robó' and: we could use some more recappers for this one.
If you'd like to recap email me: caray@mappamundi.com - thanks - blog mom.
This story takes place in the picturesque town of Aguazul. Montserrat lives there: she's a pretty girl, of high social status, who wants to have a "rose colored" life. She is constantly manipulated by her mother, Graciela Giacinti, for whom only social appearances are important and who will under no circumstances lose social status, even though her husband Lauro Mendoza, a retired admiral, has lost everything.
Montserrat has been converted into the solution to all her parents' socio-economic problems: her mother has selected her the ideal spouse, Sebastián de Icaza, son of one of the most influential familes in Aguazul. Nevertheless, Montserrat is not interested in marrying for her family's convenience and in fact is in love with José Luis, who runs a marina. Her parents ignore this romance, and this oppresses their daughter.
José Luis feels his relationship with Montserrat is going nowhere and feels the family Mendoza will never accept him.
On the other hand, Alejandro, a laborer on a nearby farm with hopes of bettering his station in life, knows the truth: that his father is Don Benjamin Almonte, a cruel, powerful and wealthy man who revealed this secret on his deathbed. Alejandra didn't receive this news happily. At the very same time life will bring him to meet Montserrat, for whom he immediately falls!
[Skipping a lot which seems to be spoilers]
The destiny of these three people will coincide and among them will be love, friendship, passion, contempt and rancor due to secrets, betrayals and hate provoked by the ambition and avarice that surrounds them.
Cast of characters:
Daniela Castro is Graciela Giacinti de Mendoza
Bad guy. Hypocrite, she appears a devoted woman devoted to her Catholicism but is actually a dark creature full of ambition and greed. She loves to be surrounded by luxury and is proud to be part of an important family. But she has a secret! Long ago she was the lover of Benjamín Almonte. Now, for money she is capable of selling her own daughter to his bastard son and heir.
Angelique Boyer is Montserrat Mendoza
Good guy. Noble, capable of sacrificing herself for her family. Fragile and innocent, she's been in a convent. To her own surprise, little by little she falls truly in love with her husband, which will be a problem when she falls for José Luis. All her problems will strengthen her character.
Sebastián Rulli is Alejandro Almonte
Good guy. Loyal and fair, a gentleman who treats people with respect. His mother, a humble farm worker, died when he was a lad. His life changes when his boss confesses to being his father and leaves him a pot of dough. He becomes a powerful man. He meets Montserrat and falls hopelessly in love with her.
Luis Roberto Guzmán is José Luis Álvarez
Good guy. From a poor background but honorable and a good worker. Capable of anything when it comes to love. Montserrat is the love of his life. When he finds out she is forced to marry a man she despises while he is in jail (unjustly) [spoilers]. He realizes, sadly, that the love Montserrat has for him has changed and that Alejandro, her husband, is a good man.
Sergio Sendel is Pedro Medina
Bad guy, of course. Arrogant and egotistical, of course. [Will he throw phones?] He married Nadia for political reasons: he needed a wife of perfect reputation and a good name when he ran for municipal president. He's dedicated to persecuting Alejandro.
Rogelio Guerra is Lauro Mendoza
Bad guy. Retired husband of Marina, he seems strong but deep down is weak. He and Graciela had two children: Montserrat and Dimitrio. His heart troubles, exacerbated by losing all his riches, have diminished him before his dominating wife.

Sagrado
Mariano of the Plaid Priesthood is
intrigued with Seba's attitude w/Maria; and now this issue with the photos and
the "secret". He reminds Ricky that Maria often imagines things
and she may have made up the whole thing about the "secret". He asks
Ricky if Maria might have been promiscuous in her youth and if she was a virgin
when.......Ricky gets frustrated and repeats, again, that he doesn't remember
anything about that fateful night. Mariano miraculously puts two and two
together (he is a priest, after all)--maybe Seba is someone else's son!
And maybe that's the "secret" he and Maria share! Must
be the Power of the Plaid Priesthood!

This is the second time Delia set Rogelio and Patricia apart. The first time only Jesús noticed a silent cry on her face but now the whole IMSS hospital are witnesses of her pain and suffering. ''We need Ane and Dr Osorio in the reception area, Dr. Osorio please bring Ane Sthesia to the reception area''. Sorry Pato, you can keep swimming, but this pichón is going back to his cage... now with less marbles and no legs!!
Hi, I am Susana, I am a woman just like you, only older
This ''girls'' are such Pranksters
Pánfilo is probably crying with his one good eye after seeing Susana on the catwalk. This episode presented by the shapes ''sphere'' and ''cylinder''. ''Sphere'', ''cylinder''...
His loss. In the crowd, Ricardo shamelessly looks like nothing happened, after all the damage he did... bad monkey!
Diego Armando Manriquez, the male version of Tracy Rodríguez, who is now chasing Alma, in an effort to extend this TN until its breaking point, falls victim of the gossip girls, who in revenge, cut him some slack, literally, leaving him almost naked. Who would have thought these girls would have such a sense of humor? If they could only work half as hard as they have fun!!
Jesús is not the first male secretary, he shouldn't be so redundant, unless this has a hidden sexist meaning. Or, a self affirmation. I was a secretari-o, yes, I didn't make a mistake, it has an ''o'', ''o''. Juárever! Vivan las secretarias! Enough already!
Group hug! We miss the old grumpy man, because Jesús, when he scolds the Gossip Girls after the prank to that obnoxious Argentinian, sound fake. Alma comes to his rescue and all giggle and laugh! Secretly, they wish this nightmare was over! Aren't we all?

Beware: nothing that happens this episode makes any sense, from a legal perspective, or any other perspective you might think of.
Also, I appologize in advance for grammar mistakes or sentences that are not tied together, making a sense of this madness is harder than pulling teeth without anesthesia.

Dead to Viewerville Tav has decided: his daughter will not grow up with a mother like Maricruz Olivarez. HE says so, this is how it’s going to be.
Migreedy congratulates
him on this awesome decision and hopes that he now feels ashamed for whatever
feelings he might have had for MC in the past.
Dead to Viewerville
Tav apologizes (!!!) for
what he made Migreedy go through, Migreedy is just happy to be able to help his
bro get rid of that woman. How sweet, unconditional brotherly love - Blech!
After Migreedy leaves,
we see that MC is not as dead to Tav as Tav is to Viewerville. He remembers his
talk with JA, about how MC will use Alvaro the same way she used them both.
Dead to Viewerville
Tav thought MC really loved
him, in her own savage way, but that was not true. He can’t allow his daughter
to be with her, he’ll fight, no matter what it takes, he can’t be an
irresponsible and a coward. (Excuse me while I go throw up).
