Tuesday, March 11, 2014- Por Siempre Mi Amor Recap #68- The One Where Everyone Gets Down and Dirty (or Almost Everyone)
RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:
FeVer knows he is being stalked even when said-stalker has denied it.
Daffne is asking 'Za if she can borrow her lovely pink
top. Why? 'Cause BonBon always liked it on 'Za, maybe he will like it
on Daffne.
Borlas and DanHairyChest are borrowing (jacking) Tita's motorcycle.
Funeral for Padre Adalberto (LOL Illeana has glasses
in every color for every occassion) where they seems to be A LOT of
mourning.
'Za is being psychologically tortured by remembering
what she threw away with BonBon and she laments about how quick he had
moved on.
Borlas is asking for forgiveness from DanHairyChest.
Veronica and Cynthia-errr,Soni and Bestie (whose name I still don't know) are talking.
Osvi and Tita DNA test for Soni being Mari's momma.

Que Pobres tan ricos #46...Nepo's date plans backfires, Tomas finds out about the 'primos'. MA back to work. An upcoming MA/Mini meeting starts to snowball and not in a good way.
Nepo comes to pick up Lupe, she thanks him, he says I am just in LUUUUUUUVVV… no kiss since Lupe sees MA up there.
Nepo has taken Lupe out to eat at a fairly humble café… Chinese food menu. Funny how Nepo speaks ‘chinese’. Lupe does not want to order but Nepo orders a huge steak for her and tamarind juice.
Nepo begins by apologizing for the other nite. All forgotten, says Lupe. She is just thankful now and ever. Nepo toasts to her, the most beautiful woman in the world, and for the unforgettable nite ahead. Later, Lupe says she knows Nepo has planned a romantic nite, but she has not dated in so long… (excuse #353… Lupe asks Nepo about DA’s mom. He says she just left them. Lupe says she asked because she knows very little about him. Nepo says it was hard work that got him to his ‘banana king’ status. He just needs a little chance to show her all he can do for her ‘and with her’. Lupe says if there is one thing she is sure of is that he is a man through and through. But as far as getting to know each other, easy does it. Nepo does not want secrets between them… he wants to take her to a special place. Lupe says no its getting too late and don’t want to leave Emi alone too long, is not used to hang out in the street at nite. (Nepo remembers Gwendy’s advice that Lupe’s reluctance is positive…) Nepo insists that the place he is going to take her is very pretty… Lupe gives in to his persistence. Nepo wants her to close her eyes for the ride and he will let her know when to open them once they get to the special place. Lupe protests but gives in as long as it won’t take them too long.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 85, Tues., 3/11/14: Holy Guacamole!
From his studies, Harlow concluded that sex alone did not drive societies, nor did mother love enable individual social relations. Rather, normal sexual and parental behavior depended on a wide array of affectional ties with peers and family early in life.
Since tonight was a bit of a snooze, I thought we could take a moment to review what we've learned over the past several episodes. (Feel free to skip this resumé, if you are all caught up in the story.) As you can see, the writers have cranked out enough unlikely circumstances to carry us through to spring and summer:

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #2- Mon 3/11
De que las cosas se complicaron, se complicaron!
The fact that Natalia and Diego just met yesterday make it easy for Rodrigo to pretend to be his brother, though she does notice the difference in kisses. She just thinks he's being silly. When Diego catches up to her later, he doesn't explain being on a bicycle or wearing a different shirt. He's just glad to find her alone, so he turns back around to go confront Rodrigo. Rodrigo keeps insisting on playing his little sicko twin game and wants to "share" Natalia. Diego decides to enlist the help of the Bro Boys to lock Rodrigo in the room while he's taking a shower. He's ultimately released by Diego's not-girlfriend and her friend who have shown up to crash Diego's vacation.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #67 US 3/10/2014 The Padre's Dead, Zenaida Survives but will Cuca and Tita?
Well Amigos, we dodged one bullet and got hit by another. PSMA stayed in its time slot at 8PM but Uni is up to the old tricks again, deleting scenes and combining episodes. Monday's episode was a sliced and diced scrambliation of episodes #86 and #87 in Mexico. I didn't know Uni was going to start doing this again, so I only watched the first episode online. I'm sorry to say that I missed lots of the dialogue in the second half because the closed captions were lagging way, way behind the conversations. I'd really appreciate if all of you could help fill in what I missed in the comments.
As usual - and I was really hoping I'd never have to type this again - deleted scenes are in italics. Some scenes have been combined:
Leftovers:
Javier realizes the private investigator is following him.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 3/1014 #84
Chapter
84: The Lady Vanquishes
Almonte
Townhouse: Lady Monserrat demanded that her mother explain how
she came to have a daughter with Lord Benjamin Almonte. Countess
Graceless insisted that she had no right to know this, but Lady
Monserrat would not relent. A crocodile's tears are still visible,
and Countess Graceless shed hers as she explained that she had fallen
into a delicate condition in a time when the obvious current solution
was not possible. When she gave birth to a baby girl she decided
that it would be best to put her up for adoption. However she died
shortly after birth and the hairs Countess Graceless saved were all
she had of her. She had not been aware that modern science could
disclose not only the parentage but the gender of the hair's donor.
Lady Monserrat had spoken to Father Anselmo who had explained that he
and Macario had buried the infant. Her sister. She asked whether
her mother had ever visited the burial place and Countess Graceless
tearfully told her she had never had the courage to do so. It was a
wound that would never heal, she cried.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #83- 3/7/14: 'Cause I Want It That Way
Ahoy Amguis. It is bright and sunny on the Patio today, but the storm clouds are gathering in the distance. There is a disturbance in the force, known as Pedro Medina, and as his machinations start to sprout and bear fruit, we on the Patio, have prepared that Bunker again. It will be nice and cozy when the time comes for its use. In the meantime, let us enjoy the soft breezes, tropical drinks and the wonderful company as you sit back and enjoy this little earworm that I have found for you. Please don't diss the recapper for the first earworm choice, cause well, I'm a fan ; ) I Want It That Way
When we last left Nadia and Esme they were having a little convo about that thorn in their side, named Pedro Medina. That man is a sticky wicket. Nadia is lamenting the fact that she is trapped in her loveless marriage and there can be no divorce. Esme wants to help Nadia as much as Nadia wants to help Esme. Nadia drops the bomb on Esme by telling her that gasp *EZ and Pedro are amantes* (lovers)! Well, shut the front door Irene, but Esme is floored. No way she tells Nadia. EZ is so into Esme, as in girlz. Not boys! Well, shut Nadia's mouth, but, but, she caught EZ underwater in that jacuzzi, with Pedro in it! Esme tells Nadia she is wrong, wrong and wrong. EZ is a brown noser (I learned this little phrase when I was in the Navy, it means you have your nose so far up your boss' butt, it turns brown), he's ambitious but he is NOT gay! Look on Nadia's face Priceless!!!!

Que Pobres tan Ricos # 44, MA falls deeper into his 'A-hole'-itis after Mati does another 'trick' on him and then can't remember the details.
Isela gives up on giving Mini advice. She tells her I don’t care anymore what happens to you.
Mini calls someone on phone. Out comes A-hole. She has to hang up and he asks who she was about ot call. You dear! … Mini says it was him and he sais it makes no sense she was calling him from patio to the house. A-hole looks at Mini’s belly… he says she looks like she is getting bigger… calls her ‘mi gordis’ and she hates that. Don’t you dare say I have a belly. Isela uses the opportunity to mock Mini some. Isela again squeezes A-hole’s cheeks as he takes his exit. Isela urges Mini to start using the ‘fake belly fillers’. And as she leaves, she mocks Mini again calling her ‘GORDIS!!’ (leaves laughing)
Lupita comes in to Mati’s room. Lupe had bought Mati some clean pj’s at the market. Mati loves them. They look so warm! Shouldn’t have. Lupe says no sweat. Would love to do more to make her feel comfortable. Mati swears God will compensate her some day.
Saul/MA out somewhere… Saul still miffed at MA for the ‘fideicomiso’ plan. MA says now more than ever I need that money urgently! (again gives his family as excuse to get the money any way he can).
The notary with bad hearing is reviewing the papers MA and Saul brought him. MA yells at the guy and only gets the guy more mad. The lawyer yells at them because the papers in the envelope seem some sketches from Gwendy or Perla instead of the papers MA meant to bring over… MA again blames it on Saul and his young brother ‘Leonardo’. (ah! So these sketches belonged to Leo?) MA and Saul mention that the papers were in the ‘bust’ of the grandpa and the lawyer takes that the wrong way and ends up kicking them out of the office. Don’t waste my time!! As Saul and MA leave, they argue again. MA tries to blame Saul and he bounces the potato back. They are yelling at each other. Saul is right in ranting that he has spent so much time with MA trying to help him out. MA says I can handle my issues ALONE!! Saul just leaves in a huff.

Por Siempre Mi Amor 3/7/14 (Friday) #66
Bullets tonight. Un lujo de detalles mañana.
- Javier decides he needs to get rid of Este. That will kill two birds with one stone since it will destroy Andrea. Even Sonia seems appalled.

- Art hires a
n ineptPI. Javier spots him almost immediately and confronts him (we have to wait until Monday to find out what happens.) - Dan and Gil get into a huge fight. Dan is leaving the house and Gil is cutting off any financial support. This is good news to Sonia since it just means more $$$ for her.
- Gabi finds out about Almudena and Bruno wanting to adopt the kiddoes. She calls Bruno and bursts into tears as she congratulates him. Later she and Isa talk about mood swings. Isa asks Gaby what she will tell the baby about the daddy.

Thursday, March 6th, 2014-Por Siempre mi Amor Recap # 65- Oh, The Way We Were....
Recap by CorazonSalvaje
This is the first half of the episode- feel free to add any missing parts.
This is the first half of the episode- feel free to add any missing parts.
Daffne Duck is going off on 'Za about
how she has always been in love with BonBon. 'Za calls BS; she would
always insult the boy. (right on the money there) Daffne then says she
did it to hid how she really felt (LIES!) and 'Za then says anyone who
heard her could automatically suspect she was a spiteful bitch (some
paraphrasing LOL) More back and forth about BonBon and then she says she
hated feeling that way about him while he was 'Za's BF. She had to
think horrible about him to shoot him out of her heart. A little more
chit-chat and Daff states they've always been like sisters and she would
never go against her, EVER.
-Dena is telling BrunBrun how she feel sabout Tita's
arresting. She states it feels like an exaggeration and Tita doesn't
deserve that after all the good she has done. To finalize this scene,
she states none of this would be happening if it hadn't been for that
stupid anonymous call. BrunBrun laments unfortunately, they will
neverknow who made it. Ally gives an expression that screams, "Watch
'while I SMH. (for reals sistah!)"
-On the stairs, 'Za is apologizing for having things
happen the way they did and she didn't mean for them to occur. Daff then
states times they are a'changin'; BonBon is single (and not really
ready to mingle), you left him for another (more like one who is in need
of a Lorena Bobbit job) and I had to go be his shoulder to cry on. It
was hard spilling my guts though and watching him in pain the way he
was. She asks if she is over BonBon and just into FeVer. 'Za says yes
but BonBon is her ex and her first above all things, he will always be
her first love. 'Za never thought they'd be having that conversation
(LOL) but isn't jealous. Daffne Duck thanks her for understanding that
her love for BonBon is the purest of pure love (water.)
-Dena is wondering about Bronce Mari. She is about to
grow into legal age; therefore, they can't place her in an institution.
Brun explains what's up and that Bronce Mari was accused of working with
a delinquent gang (Dante, Gonzo and unfortunately, Borlas) which leaves
Dena shocked. Some chit-chat later and Dena says something about they
ending up with all the enanitos. Brun slightly blows a gasket at the
thought of all of them being theirs.
-DannyBoyl is astonished (negatively) with what Bronce
Mari did with the kids and she then laments they will be taken away
from her now. DannyBoy then says something about a few more years and BM
says at least she had somewhere to take them. DB then says when she is a
mother, she'll be excelente (positively) and BM says she doesn't want
any other ones. She is happy with los enanitos and she was so close to
them.
-Dena is getting mad since Brun is showing cold feet
at the thought of adoption (hace poco, he was ecstatic about it...) He
isn't regretful about adoption but he wants a baby; a newborn! Dena
explains a baby would be nice but there are five kids who need them more
than ever (y ademas, they're loved by the kids!) Dena says they haven't
a moment to lose. Let's get to the police and adopt the kids lickety
split! If not, then other couples are going to take them. Brun then says
they have to get DannyBoy and Tita out of jail. Dena agrees but he had
to promise to make sure those kiddoes will be their after all! He tries
to turn her off about it by describing the situation as drastic but she
is resistant and mentions she isn't alone. She had him and Zenaida and
TITA! She gave them classes, she is ready. Brun is surprised by all
this. Dena says she has never been able to have kids and this would
fulfill her dream of being a mother. Some sympathy later and the two hug
(I think it's the most inimate they have been in this entire novela.)
-FeVer stares pensively outside the window
thoughbubbling about how he made out with 'Za and that he has to watch
his back for his son due to the fact that 'Za and BonBon are still in
love. Hell no, he is thinking out loud about how he is going to dispose
of his son. (You won't get away with this FeVer.)
-BonBon is laying down on the red couch when 'Drea
comes to ask what's up.BonBon denies and she states he is a good liar
and should speak his mind. He says he doesn't wanna worry her. Is it
that bad? OK so he went to the movies with Daffne and coincidently, 'Za
and FeVer were there. 'Drea then agrees that is bad but changes
opinion(s) when she hears that FeVer told them to be civilized and that
it was Daffne's idea. Daffne and 'Za are best friends who live
together;inseperable. The least FeVer and BonBon can do is stick it out
and mature (only one has to mature but he who does is beyond redemption
so it's too late.)
-Isa and Art Dad are worried about Tita being
convicted. Especially with how happy she was earlier when annoucing her
wedding with Oso.
-'Drea and BonBon are talking some more and about
gMeanerva. 'Drea plans on asking someone to keep their eye(s) on her.
BonBon says she seems redeemed and that she plans on taking therapy.
'Drea requests he help her since they have always been close and he is
happy to oblige.
-'Za drops the ball and let's Isa know about Soni's
ways. At dinner, she figured everything out. She gets everything from a
face Soni made when Tita said she has always wanted to be Missus De la
Riva. She also lets it spill that Soni influenced her with bad behavior
plans and asks for forgiveness but Isa states it happened years ago and
she will always love/forgive/ give love (to) her. 'Za swears she will
never let Soni ruin her life again. That is, Isa lets her know she has
been talking with Soni lately and the girl acts changed.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 82, 3/6/14--The Foundling's Tale--
Beware of Women In Black Hats
The señorita in the black hat walked into Alejandro’s
town mansion like she owned the place. By total happenstance Mama Rosario had
answered the doorbell when it rang and the woman rushed past Rosario as a narcotraficante
cigarette boat might move past a 1929 Stephens Brothers Motor Launch, all flash
and dash and no class at all.
Mama Rosario held her
dignity as she brought the blonde a cup of coffee and offered it to her with an
air of gracious formality. When the woman asked if she was the keeper of the
keys (housekeeper) Rosario gave a tiny nod and a meaningful “No,” as she slid
out of the room gracefully.
Alejandro prowled in
looking like a lion that had spent too long in a tanning bed. He checked to see
who had come by his den. Montserrat was by his side, with a not unfriendly
smile.
“I am Alejandro
Almonte and this is my wife, Montserrat.”
“I am looking for Don
Benjamin Almonte,” said the woman in the black hat.
“My father died a year
and a half ago.”
Now, for the first
time, the woman looked a bit off-balance. “I understood…”
“You understood that
my father had no children.” Alejandro looked slightly irked. “Everyone assumed
that but it was not true.”
The woman had broad
shoulders, like a swimmer, and she looked elegant standing there in a long
black dress that might have been purpose-built to go with the hat. It was
clear that the hat was what was important in this outfit.
She got a knowing look
on her face and, almost under her breath she said, “My uncle died. Now I understand everything.”
Alejandro looked like
he had swallowed a bitter Chinese herbal concoction as he asked his cousin to
sit down. He said he had no idea that his father had other relatives.
“My name is Fabiola
Guillen Almonte.”

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #43- 3/6/14: Money, Money, Money!
Hola Amiguis! Shall we begin? Here's an earworm for y'all to listen to as you read the recap:For The Love of Money.
AS is pithed the maitre de hotel wants her to pay the bill like toute de suite, in other words, now! She argues with the guy that she is high society and things are just not done this way, by Jove! Leo is right there with her and is worried that bill is sky high! Leo utters "Help Me Jesus"!
Mini has Adolfo on the phone and is trying to convince him to suelte la sopa (spill the soup) give up the goods. Well, Ahole has heard enough and wants the phone. He shoos Isela and Mini off. Mini does stay lurking to hear what is being said, close enough and not too far away. Adolfo wants that lana like yesterday. Ahole tells him it will take some time to gather the lana together. Adolfo wants 35 thousand dollars and not a penny less. If he doesn't come up with it soon, I think Adolfo says he'll want more. Ahole is pithed!
AS and Leo finally get the bill and it's a whopper. AS thought the champagne and caviar were the bennies, as in free, for this deluxe hotel to give out. Nopis! The Maitre de Hotel tells them they take payments in Dollars, Pesos or Euros, take your pick. AS says she will pay.

Breaking news:Dimitrio is a boy and has a back bone! Lo que la vida me Robo #81 3/5/14
Hi everyone, I want to start of by thanking you all for your kind thoughts, the last few weeks have not been great, I lost a childhood friend, work is driving me crazy (working super long hours) and yesterday we got bad news regarding my sister, as some of you may know she suffers from lupus and it looks like her illness has caused damage to her kidneys-and all the other treatments have not worked for her, so not good news, which is why you are getting a quick recap from me today-she gave me this news last night as I was watching Robo, so I'm not in snarky mood today, at any rate I hope my quick recap helps. Again, thank you all for everything, I've never met a better group of people on the internet, you guys are all super special :)
- Josefina takes Graciela's advice and stands up to Tomas, she wants control of her money and dares him to take her credit cards, money and property, this was a bad idea because he kicks her out of the house and she ends up in Graciela's living room crying her little eyes out while Graciela throws insults her way, but what's this? Dimitrio stands up for her, oh my who knew he could grow a back bone? He tells his mother to STFU and stop with the insults, and informs her that his wife is going to be living there with him, although Graciela is not a happy camper. Later in the episode Dimitrio goes to talk to Tomas who tells him his intention is to return to Josefina all of her cash-as long as she agrees to leave with him to Mexico city and never come back to town, Dimitrio is a sad panda and almost looks like he could cry at the prospect of his wife going bye-bye. That same day, after he has an argument with Graciela, Dimitrio has the absolutely great idea of leaving with Josefina, he tells her to pack because they is leaving! Josefina talks him out of it (nooooooooo) and in the end they stay put, ooooh and did I forget to tell you folks that Graciela made Josefina clear the table like she was a maid? B*tch.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/5/14 (#42): Team Recap!!!
I wasn't able to post a recap. As consolation, I offered this unrelated but very spectacular recipe for carnitas.
Our wonderful readers/commenters posted all the bits and pieces, and I was able to add a few more things after watching the first half of the episode this morning. Here is what we came up with:
Madelaine:
Mati refuses to go to the doctor even though MA tells her its best for her. Frida sides with Granny so Mati doesn't go to the doctor.
Madelaine, Anon, Martaivett, Jarifa, and Julie:
MA and Saul go to that construction company and meet another guy that has been doing some research on the deceased Mr. Trejo's old accounts.
The adviser told MA and Saul that the place in the Nopalera was NOT worth a million dollars, but there is a fideicomiso (trust fund) of a million dollars (not pesos) for the OWNER of the property when he finishes paying it off. MA wants to get hold of documents that prove he is the owner by having Granny Mati deed the place over to him, thus cutting off the Menchacas - which Saul is telling him is wrong and unethical (just like Alejo).
The lawyer/notary clearly said the property would belong to the 'owner' once he finished paying for it so it clearly is pointing to Don Chuy.
ALSO: He says that there are two halves of the trust fund document. He's got one half, and the owner of the property will have to present the other half along with the property deed in order to claim it.
There is ALSO a "clause," but he can't tell them about that until they bring the deed AND the other half of the trust document (and maybe something more, I dunno).
Saul tells MA that if he were going to pull a fast one on the Menchacas he would be just like his cousin Alejo; it would not be ethical; it would result in legal problems and he (Saul) would not help him.

There is ALSO a "clause," but he can't tell them about that until they bring the deed AND the other half of the trust document (and maybe something more, I dunno).
Saul tells MA that if he were going to pull a fast one on the Menchacas he would be just like his cousin Alejo; it would not be ethical; it would result in legal problems and he (Saul) would not help him.

Que Pobres Mas Ricos # 41, Mini finds MA and vows to get him back. Grandma Mati found. A-hole makes a generous offer to AS, she lies: La Condesa supports us. Lupe and MA have another cute scene alone.
Refrito: Lupe breaks Nepo’s heart… in the most subtle way she can think of… which is nice of her.
Lo Nuevo: not sure I liked that Lupe put the ‘Mati lost’ situation as excuse to send Nepo off for the nite.
Tato and Frida, she accepted his ride after all. She is honest to him that he is all ‘pose’ and no backbone. He forces a kiss on her, and gets a slap back. (good for you Frida!!) She leaves, he laughs it off.
Here is Maca!! Again at restaurant with AS and Leo spending money, Maca wants Escargot (fuchi!), AS mentions that it is the best in Mex, even Dionisio, the God of wine, would approve of the selection. LOL!
Isela and Mini… Isela is getting a massage, nagging at Mini, saying 'if it weren't for these moments, I would have given you up for adoption right off the bat', says that Mini stresses her out. Tato calls Mini’s cell. Tells her he knows the area where Frida lives but not the exact address (Mini gets mad, hangs up on him.) Mini asks Isela if she remembers of any property the RP had at San Angel. Isela says she remembers that is where the old house of Don Aure/Dona Mati’s was. Isela asks Mini what are you up to now? Mini says I know ‘mi cuento’(my story). Isela asks what will we tell A-hole now? Mini: you’ll come up with something.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 80, Tues., March 4, 2014: Love in the Time of Cannabis
Labels: robo
Por Siempre Mi Amor #63- 3/4/14- Busted!
Del Pasado:
The kids get antsy
in Tita’s closet. They make noise
while looking for a window.
Mr. Twitchy, CPS
worker, is still looking for the kids.
Cris is leaving the
university because he can't bear to be around Daphne and Este. (Snap out of it
Cris!)
Dante asks Javier if
he wanted another drink and he asks for a cosmopolitan which Isa stops and
notes, Osvy toasts first- Fab will take his last name and Sucia marvels,
Mr. Twitchy is still
looking for the kids. They are up to the last bedroom. He is sorry to
have wasted their time. He leaves and then twitches back saying they are
here, over and over again.
Tita makes an
announcement -Tita and Osvy are getting married. Ally will be the
wedding planner. Sucia congratulates the couple and Tita blurts out, you
always wanted to be Mrs. De La Riva. Fab asks and Tita tells him that
Sucia was in love with Art. Fab asks Sucia if it's true.
De Hoy:
Yes, she lied that
she was in love with Art but he was in love with Isa, so she left the path open
for her. And it really wasn't important. (Ara should be taking mental notes
because her aunt told her what a bad woman Isa was and how she was with Art
while her mom was alive and it is all lies)
Tita was happy to
have that little jab and so was Viewerville.
Mr. Twitchy is still
there and hears a cough that Dan says is a dog. The little man insists on
going into the closet but sees nothing. The kids stay quiet but the
little man insists on looking in every corner of the closet and the kids
escape. Zenaida and Dan are in big trouble.
What an
uncomfortable dinner, noted Ally. Ahh dessert is served, it's Tita's special.
Isa tells Sucia to
come clean with Fab and thanks Isa for her concern.
Fab is sorry that he
hasn't gotten more information about Javier or his family in Spain.
Javier is eavesdropping and strategically in front of Ara mentions that
if he had a daughter like Ara he would react the same. Ara wants to know
what's going on?
The Keystone Cop
skit is a bit silly at Tita's with the kids and Mari, Dan and Zenaida.
Dan has two options-
he takes the kids or calls the police and everyone is arrested. Then he bites
an apple.- que the heck?
Javier tells Ara
that her dad wants to know him better including his family in Spain.
Ileana tells Cris
that leaving the country to study is a bit much to avoid seeing Este and
Daphne. She tells him that he is changing his life for them and will lose a
semester. She will go with him and forget about Daniel. Ileana is or sure
if she could go, she is not as sure as Cris.
The CPS van comes
and it's a tearful farewell. Little Mr. Big tells Mari that she has to go
with the kids, pjs and all, since she is a minor. Zenaida and Dan cry in each
other's arms.
Ara wants to talk to
Sucia; ah she was listening and remembering. She wants to know why she
didn't tell Ara about her REAL feelings for Art, she lied to Ara.
Sucia tries, “the I was confused excuse” but Ara is not hearing it. She
no longer trusts Sucia- Woohooo!!!!!!! Finally the web is starting to
untangle) Ara tells Sucia that if her parents find out that she introduced
Javier to here they will flip out and be totally against her.
Tita welcomes Fab
into the family. She thanks Fab’s
mother for making her see the light with Osvy.
Agatha and Gema have
a delicious meal when Borlas comes a knocking. Borlas shows Gema the photos on
his phone that he took of GMeanie at the casino. She shows Agatha the
photos. Now she has the proof that she needed.
Javier has to go
back to work but he will be back to take Ara to the movies and Daphne wants to
make it a foursome. She's practically Ara's sister. Javier gives Ara a
kiss and Art can barely contain himself.
At the precinct the
kids are waiting for the owner of the house, Dona Tita. They don't know her
last name. The kids tell the Comandante that Tita gives them sandwiches,
buys them clothes and lets them play with Don Porfirio. Ally gives them classes
in reading and math and Tita is like a grandmother. The Comandante feels
that the kids are not mistreated. They share that Pimienta has chicken pox and
she is quickly escorted out of the office.
Promo-
next Monday- the time is changed to 11 AM
Everyone
congratulates Tita and Osvy. Daphne tells Tita better late than never.
Tita hopes that the
Sucia - Fab romance doesn't blossom. Everyone notes that Fab is a good
man who is in love with Sucia. What a pity!! When Sucia came to
Isa's office, Isa asked Sucia to come clean and be honest, everyone deserves a
second chance. Tita says that if he knew everything (meaning Marianela)
he may feel different but her lips are zipped for now. Bruno asks but she
doesn't tell him. Tita's cell phone rings and she finds out that CPS took
the kids.
At the precinct,
they are questioning Marianela to insure that they were not mistreated or
abused. Marianela said that Tita only wants the best for them; she took
them off the street. She also has chicken pox so she is rushed to the
doctor. The little man is squirming.
The Comandante wants
to know what to do with the kids; two detectives say that they know Mari. The
little man couldn't be happier.
Art knows someone
who can help Tita.
Ara can't believe
that her aunt has lied to her all these years, saying that she was protecting
her and it was for her own good but Daphne says that auntie was manipulating
her. Ara reminds Daphne that when they were little Sucia was after Art
but Ara didn't believe her. Ara says that for years she blindly believed
her and it hurt her relationship with Isa.
Fab wants the 411
from Sucia about being in love with Art; Sucia plays it off as an illusion of a
young girl. (Fab -make mental notes of these red flags). She just felt such
compassion for Ara that she would be a good mother figure for her. She lies
that Art asked her to live with them after Eugenia died. Fab isn't buying
it all but Sucia swears. It was a confusion.
Art speaks to his
contact and Tita could be charged with kidnapping the kids. It can come with
jail time. Isa calls someone.
Tita and Osvy review
the legal papers and Bruno wants to find out where the kids are.
Fab wants to know
why Tita doesn't like Sucia and she makes up yet another lie. Tita is very
jealous, when Eugenia died Ara confided in Sucia and Tita didn't like it.
Tita always talks badly about her to Ara and Fab thinks that Tita is a
bad person.
Gema and Agatha go
over to Mau and Andrea's, Este is at home. They have the proof that
GMeanie was gambling. Gema shows them the photos.
The police think
that Mari is involved in the highway robberies of the electronics tricks. They
have a sketch that looks very similar to her.
Sucia tells Fab that
Tita isn't a bad person just a “buttinski” and is jealous. Fab is not
sure based on the way that Tita treated her but Sucia claims that she is just
jealous. Sucia doesn't carry any grudges. She will work to make Tita
think differently of her. She just adores Fab and he should take his father’s
last name. Pleeeeeeazzzzz!
Bruno finds out that
the kids are at the precinct and they are accusing Tita of kidnapping the
kids.
Isa and Art go to see
their lawyer and explain to him about Tita, Angeles de la Tierra, the
orphanage, the charity work, etc. Osvy calls Art and says that Tita is
going to get arrested and Art, Isa and the lawyer head to the precinct.
Este can't believe
that his grandma gambles. Maybe the photos were photo-shopped. Agatha
says that it's not one there are several. It's clear that GMeanie stole
the jewelry blamed Gema but used some jewelry for betting money at a luxurious
casino.
Mari doesn't have
chicken pox it's a viral reaction that's not contagious. More questions
for Mari. Mari doesn't have a last name, she has lived on the street and in an
orphanage, took the kids off of the street and had an apartment for them.
The Comandante wanted to know how did she financially sustain the kids?
Borlas came to see
the kids and Zenaida tells him that he is not welcome and the kids have been
taken away. Ally tells them that Mari and the kids are at the precinct
and Borlas looks sick.
Tita, Osvy, Bruno
and Dan confront the Comandante. He tells them that Tita is going to jail
for the way that she harbored the kids was illegal and she and Dan will be
charged with kidnapping. Osvy says that Tita will go to jail over his dead
body.
GMeanie keeps on
denying that she gambles. Why does the family believe Gema over her?
Mau is strong; it's not only Gema's word. She's innocent. Este asks
her where did she get money to bet in the casino and she plays stupid.
She only goes to the doctor, Andrea can't take it. Mau shows her
the photos and it's quiet.
It's not a crime to
help children but according to the Comandante it's the way that they did it.
The way to resolve this is to arrest Tita and Dan. They are taken to
separate cells. Shouting ensues and Art and Isa arrive.
GMeanie denies that
it's her. Finally she admits that's she likes gamble. The money for
medical treatments was used for betting. She has her dignity and is going
to leave. She tries to put a guilt trip on Andrea, how could she allow
her mother to be treated like this. Good riddance! Andrea can't
defend her. Este is hurt, he helped her, he would do anything for his
grandma. Hit the road, GMeanie!!!
Coming attractions:
· Ara is deeply hurt and wants Sucia to stay
away from her
· It gets tense between Ara, Daphne, Javier and
Este
· There is a confession- is it Single White
Female time???

Por Siempre Mi Amor #62 US 3/3/2014 - Just A Few Speedbumps on the Road to Sonia's Pot of Gold
As the Great Winter of 2014 drags on I hope this may lift the spirits of the Winter Weary:
Friday's Leftovers:
Tita and Osvi and Fabricio and Sonia are invited to dinner at Arturo's. Mari tries to break things off with Dan.
Today's Entree:
Daniel doesn't want to lose Mari. He can't believe she wants to call it quits at the first problem. Mari doesn't think a father and son falling out is a small problem, plus she's scared of Gilberto. On top of this Mari thinks there's a chance that Gil may decide to disown Dan because of her. Dan doesn't think that will happen and if it does, he'll teach English for a living. He asks Mari to give it time because he's sure his father will come around. Dan is in love with her. He'd do anything for her. They kiss.
Ozvi visits Fabrico at his office. Osvi is pleased that his sons are getting along so well. He wants to know if Fabricio has decided about taking the de la Riva name? Fab still isn't sure it's necessary since he already has a last name. Osvi wants to make amends for past mistakes. It was destiny that brought them together and the de la Riva name is his birthright. Osvi says, "You don't have to do anything you don't want to." Fabricio finally agrees and calls Oz "papa". Ozvi looks very pleased. Now all he needs is a big hug from his younger son. They embrace.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó #79, Lunes 3/3/14: The Dead Can Say Nothing
Medina
Manor: Refugio approached Pedro Medina from behind and held him
at gunpoint to protect Lady Nadia. Lieutenant Alvarez entered from
behind him, demanding to know what was amiss. Refugio replied that
the Lord Mayor was about to abuse his lady wife and he was protecting
her. Her own fear clearly showing in her expression, Lady Nadia went
to her husband's side, saying he would never hurt her. Lieutenant
Alvarez then ordered his friend and subordinate to cease.
Reluctantly and with an inaudible word of frustration he did so, not
removing his eyes from the couple.

Lo que la vida me robo, #78, 2/28/14: A bunch of idiot men.
Lo siento, it has been a VERRRRRRY busy week for me, plus now I discover my internet connection is indifferent to my needs and continuously conks out. I hope I can get it all sorted out. In the meantime, discuss amongst yourselves!
As I see it is almost time for the next episode (lo siento!!!!) I am going to do screencaps and an overview of the episode. It has been a busy week, and now I'm fighting a cold. I am wallowing in my whining. ;)
EPISODE IN SCREENCAPS, ABBREVIATED. (PUT A FORK IN IT, IT IS DONE!)
 |
| Yes, jail IS the solution, you dumbass! Ale goes to whats-his-name, the police chief, wanting to get a break for Maria, for kidnapping (trying to) his own hijo, and conking Tia over the head in the process. Who conked HIM over the head, that he still wants to help Bitch Maria out? No puede ser! The police chief is not all that sold on this idea, but for Ale, he'll try to help. |
 |
| Meanwhile, Bitch Maria is plotting against Ale. Something fishy is going on, and if it can be traced back to Ale, he'll be in jail for being a crook! She wants JL to help her, and JL, thinking that he can still get Monse back, is listening to Bitch Maria. Don't listen to her, JL, you dumbass! |
 |
| Bitch Maria would like it if Ale were in legal trouble and lost everything, because she feels she'd get him back for herself. Or at least, Monse wouldn't have him anymore. She's an insane idiot as well. She's hoping that JL can use his position to denounce Ale for some wrong-doing. |

Mentir Para Vivir #101 Fri 2/28/14 Free At Last!, Free At Last! (El Fin)
[I'm trying to get this one up especially ASAPPPPPP for y'all, amiguis. In the meantime, my wholehearted thanks goes out to all of the fabulously talented and dedicated recappers on this team for your unfailing "sticktoit" dedication and your fantastic and varied humorous styles which were always good for at least one belly-laugh a read. Also, a big thanks to all the bloggers on this telenovela which got a bit draggy half-way through (as most of them do) for continuing to read and to comment so regularly, making this site so much fun seven days a week. A bundle of besos to all of you!]
Parte 1: The Great Escape
Lo del Pasado:
Oriana realizes this “vacation” is a trap Jose Luis set to kidnap her and Alina. She’s seen locks on the windows and JL has demanded her cell phone which he’s now destroyed. Lina had to leave her “guard dog” home and is outside exploring. JL has gone out to get the rest of the luggage.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Back in Hermosillo at the Blue Bayou Bachin’-it Bungalow, Ric is whining to Piero that he is dying to hear something from 2nes to make sure she’s okay. Piero suggests that they use the GPS data and drive that night to wherever she and JL have stopped for the night. They can park off aways and hang around in case there’s an emergency or something. Suddenly Ric gets a call from her using the emergency cell she snuck along in her purse. She’s frantic and tells him she’s sorry she ever decided to go with Jose Luis. “—It’s a trap! She hears JL’s footsteps. “--I have to hang up!” “—Did he do something to you?” Click. She hides the phone just as JL re-enters the room. He’s irked cuz she didn’t answer him right off. “—I suppose you brought the CD with you. (Like did he ask her to or something?) When she tells him she didn’t think to he accuses her of giving it to Homero and gets physical. She denies that and insists that she forgot it, period and breaks loose of him. He tells her not to play games with him; that she left it home on purpose. (Like she really thought she was supposed to keep it taped to her body 24/7 or something?) “—Who’d you give it to? Your ‘grandma’, that Ricardo? Who in Hell’d you give it to? ANSWER ME!!” Slap!!
JL has knocked Ori down and she’s flailing on the couch just as Lina races back in to witness the beating. She races back out again, screaming for some adult to help them. (Sorry, kid, but all the adults were probably paid off to leave.) JL races after the kid and stops at the doorway, turning around to take a last look over at Oriana and spew a mouthful of blame at her. However, she has a big surprise for Psycho Spouse: a whopper of a whang-bang in the face with the handy tool-shed shovel [pala] one always keeps inside a vacation cottage in the wilds of Mexico. Out she races on tippy toes, careful not to catch her CMF spikey boot heels in the mud, to fetch the still uselessly screaming Lina, dumping her into the backseat of JL’s Beamer. “—We’re leaving. Don’t forget your seatbelt!” Keys in hand, Ori and Lina drive off in the Beamer back down the rough, rocky one lane back road they’d used to get there.
The guys pull up in Ric’s silver Mercedes, meanwhile, and Ric pulls a gun when he sees JL’s white Beamer pull up. He cocks it just as the Beamer stops and 2nes jumps out of the car to explain what’s just happened.
Back in Hermosillo, Cesar is visiting his mother, Mathilde, at the prison. She asks him what’s going on with her case. She knows that Escalona testified she didn’t know a thing about the money-laundering but she’s still stuck in jail. Cesar explains that it will take time for the investigation to finish. She’ll have to be patient and may be stuck in there a while longer.
Mad Hilde doesn’t like having to mix with the masses and tells Cesar to scream at the judge and bribe him to get her the heck owdathere! The buggy, stinking mattresses and buggy, stinking prisoners are too degrading for somebody like her! Unless this is his way of taking it out on her. Is it, she asks? Cesar shakes his head in disbelief. She continues making up her own version of why things are going so slowly: Ruben is purposely taking his time with the lawyer…blah, blah, blah…. Cesar tells her she’ll never change. She’s sick, wicked and hasn’t seen the light. Her pushiness, her arrogance and snobbery—her willingness to trample over everybody, including the law, are what got her stuck in jail in the first place. She scolds him for talking to her so disrespectfully. He gets up to leave. “—I’d better go.” She apologizes for getting on his case, but he walks off and leaves her crying.
Later that day at Paloma’s, Snoops and Michael listen to 2nes’s horror story. Snoops assures them all that if JL is dead, they’ll claim righteous/legitimate/lawful defensive action. Ric gives Snoops the copied CD and he hands it off to Mike to hand deliver it to the MI labs via private plane. (I swear it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard calling a Spanish speaking male with an English moniker!) She won’t spend a day in jail, Piero promises. The nightmare is over, Homero declares. With more reason than ever she has earned the right to the name Ines Valdivia. However, she still has to give her statement to the police. Nope. She won’t step foot into another jail cell ever. Ric and New-nes smile at one another
Gadget and Manolo take a few uniforms with them to pick up JL’s body. Ooops! The body’s not there. Manolo points out there’s only a puddle of blood where his body should have been. They check the grounds, but get bupkis. As the lot of them head over to give their statement, Manolo calls Snoops who tells the others. No trace of JL anywhere.
JL has been hiding in the woods with his trash baggy of dinero. He flags down a pick-up truck in the rain along the back road, claiming he was assaulted and needs a ride into town. The driver says fine, get in. JL starts to get into the driver’s side but pulls his gun and shoots the driver dead instead. He dumps the body and takes off.
The next day in Hermosillo, Homero calls Orines to check on her. Still no word, but the good news is there’s no dead body either. She’ll be free to come and go in a few days, but until he turns up they’ll need to be extremely careful, he warns her. No problem. Ric’s doubled the security.
As for JL, he must have run out of gas or the truck gave up the ghost. He’s got a rag around his wounded head and is resting on a hillside, calling Patrick for help. Patrick won’t give him the time of day now, tho’, cuz JL supposedly gave his CD to Homero de la Garza and they gave a tip off [dar el pitazo a – lit. whistled to] to Interpol who gave it to them (I think). The mobsters have got to grab their things and run like rats in the night, and it’s all his damned fault, he snarls back at him. JL begs for his help, but Patrick tells him to let his “grandmother” help him! “—I hope you die like the dog you are!” Click!
~~End Parte 1~~
======================
~~Parte 2~~
Up in Smoke!
Lucina, Ori and Raquel go back to the clinic a few days later. The baby is in fact JL's. So much for condoms…..Raqi worries about who’s going to care for her baby since its daddy is lost or dead. Lucina says she will, of course! Raqi warns her what an expensive pain it will be, but Ori says they’re a blessing and she’ll realize it soon enough. "--BTW, I am preggers also! So, now the baby will have all sorts of half-brothers and sisters to grow up with." Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Months later…..Ric experiences the joys of giving birth vicariously as he coaches 2nes through the birth of little Mariano. More happy, happy, joy, joy!
Six months later after that…..Raqi has realized how much she loves motherhood. Lucina asks her to consider having a dual baptism. Still no word from JL and they’re certain he’s dead or left the country. Raqi is no longer in love with the brut, either.
Ric comes to tell Paloma that the baptism is the following weekend and that Piero will be Mariano’s padrino [godfather]. Also, his divorce is final and he and New-nes will be getting married at the same time. They are going to want to live in their own house, however. Paloma is bummed and offers them her house.
Outside, on the grounds, Leonardo tells Fabiola that he’s taken a job doing portraits; it’s not his thing, but at least it pays well. They’ll be getting married, but she wants to wait till she gets her veterinarian degree. He wants it sooner cuz he wants to sleep with her already, but she’s worried he’ll become infected. He suggests they see a specialist about the precautions they’ll have to take. (Good luck with that.) Okidok. She’s satisfied. They will get married soon then.
That night a bum in a dirty raincoat with oily long hair and beard shleps along the stairs to Fort Falcon. He’s stopped by a security guard holding a gun to the back of his head. “—I knew you’d return! Patrick sends his greetings!” Why, it’s JL and he does a quick number on the guerrero and kills him. He then enters the house, garbage bag in hand, and stares at the dusty picture of him and his family at the fair.
The next day, Oriana and Alina come to invite Raqi and Lucina to the wedding/baptism combo affair. Raqi wonders if she really should go. She was such a rotten friend there for a while. Raqi is definitely wanted there, says Ori, and she's definitely invited to the thing--and no, no hard feelings, blah, blah, blah….. She thought Raqi might want to have a dual baptism with little Lucia while they're at it. Raqi can’t believe she’d be so nice to her after the rotten way she treated her. Not a problem. All forgotten. In fact, Ori feels she’s going to be forever in their debt for all they did for her! (You can say that again! Cha-ching!!) Raqi nods okay.
One week later…..
The wedding/baptism combo affair takes place (and Viewerville has to do a double-take). Is that a bikini or a wedding dress? It’s a totally backless wedding dress, tied on with tiny spaghetti straps at the neck and the back; it’s tea-length with that crazy dippy back duck-tailed hem so popular now—and expensive and chic as all get out. Ori’s got only a jeweled ribbon as a headband for the non-existent “veil”. It’s got a lacy trim at the bottom which goes around the entire hem of the short skirt and the train.
The two babies are baptized afterwards. We’ve all got more happy, happy, joy, joy than they—or Viewerville—could ever imagine or hope for. That is, more than wacky, wigged-out JL, who is outside the walls of the church, torturing himself by being there as the happy couple and the guests exit en mass (pardon the pun) should hope for.
Sometime later, JL decides to bury his bag o’ dough. Dunno where or when, just that it’s also during the small high school celebration party that Piero, Paloma, Ruben and Fidelia, Ric and 2nes are having for Sebastian. Hugs all around. Seb calls Piero "Papa". Leo and Fabi show up for the little backyard reception with smiles on their faces. Leo doesn’t seem to have any more problems with Seb. Fabi gives him their gift. Seb apologizes for the grief he caused her. She’s not holding any grudges. (Whoooeee! That’s a relief.)
At the same time, Mad Hilde finally gets out of prison. Cesar is there waiting for her. He’ll take her anywhere she wants to go, but she has to tell him she really hasn’t got any place to live now. Can she live with him? Nope! But she’s changed. Really she has. Nobody changes completely, he tells her, and he’s not about to go through what he did before. So, he’ll take her to some hotel. Sorry, but she’s got no money for a hotel. Cesar takes out a check from Paloma that he says is more than sufficient to find her an apartment with and to live comfortably. “--Very generous, and a very subtle way of getting rid of me.” (Yes, exactly—and not for the first time, shall we add?) Cesar says she was only thinking of what she might need and not to take it badly. Ok. “—Taxi!” (He decides to call her a taxi after offering to take her in his own car?) She asks about Ruben and finds out he married Fi. “—See ya ‘round.” He leaves her there. She gets into the taxi, realizes she’s been abandoned, and cries her heart out as it takes her away.
Back at Paloma’s, Ric and 2nes are getting ready to take a drive somewhere. He tells her he’s buying the manse next door for them to live in happily ever after. What a great compromise!
Outside the grounds of Paloma’s manse, no security is visible. Ric crosses the quiet street to put the stroller into the trunk of his car. JL is a block or so away in another car, hiding and watching for him. Suddenly Ric is accosted by Jose Luis who is pointing a pistol at his chest. “—You’re going to die now. You took away everything that gave my life meaning: my love, and my daughter, the light of my eyes, and you’re going to die for that! Because, you don’t deserve to live.” Ric tells him that he might kill him with a bullet, but JL is already dead. Yeah, his life no longer has any meaning, but he didn’t cause that. Jose Luis did it to himself! He lost it all because of his ambition and his blindness. "--When I found them they were no longer yours. You’d already lost them!” JL cocks the pistol.
Oriana crosses the street and walks in front of her husband—er…the new one, Ric. “—If you shoot him, you’ll have to shoot me as well!” JL looks at her in horror. She challenges him to shoot—if he’s got the courage to. He can’t really think he’d recover their lost love, but go ahead and try. Just know that whatever happens, the love she and Ric share will be endless. Apparently he does have the courage to. The gun goes off. Jose Luis stands there with the pistol still in hand, his face showing the recognition of his hopelessness, his total loss of family and fortune and his fatigue after two years of trying to retrieve it.
Ori’s horrified—as is all of Viewerville—to see that Ric’s got a wound the size of DF in his chest and is bleeding and unconscious. He moves to shoot her dead also. She looks up at him. He sheds a tear, walks away into the middle of the street, suddenly turns and aims. Just as he cocks the pistol for a second shot, he’s hit by a racing truck that appears out of nowhere! Whap-thap!!! A couple of blocks away, the driver of the truck stops and dials his cell. “—Patrick. “—All set. The Fox is now dropped.”
That night at the hospital, the doctor shakes his head in doubt that Ric will survive. Paloma and 2nes look on at the comatose Ric and weep.
Months afterward, Leo arrives back at Snoop Mansion after a trip to the police station and tells Fabi and Grandpa Snoops that the police finally located Antonio’s corpse; and the bullet he was shot with matches the one found in Homero’s driver’s body. So, that proves JL did the deed to both sorry suckers, he says. Any news about Falcon? "--He’s a paraplegic now."
Raqi visits JL in prison at his request. Why did you want to see me, she asks, after remarking how bad off he looks (i.e., in the wheelchair, with his ratty hair and even rattier beard). He was hoping she’d bring him his daughter…er…their daughter. “—And who told you she was yours?” He’d supposed it was after all the times she’d sworn it was his. "--And you always swore it wasn’t!" Could have been her lying and that she only wanted his money, she adds. You cannot be that cruel, he says pitifully. (Yes she can!) "--Who’s accusing whom of being cruel?" After all the crap he pulled and all the hurt he caused he doesn’t deserve to know sh!t, she tells him. "--Why bother?" Well, he thought that after losing the other family he might still have this one to claim and he’d give the baby girl his cash. It was enough to secure her future with. Raquel swears she will never tell him one way or the other. She doesn’t give a damn about his dinero either! Ditto for the little girl. "--She doesn’t deserve to know she has a man like you for a father." Raqi turns on her heel and walks off. Bye! “--Won’t you even tell me if she’s mine?” “--Nope. You don’t deserve to ever know.”
Across town, Jackie gets a call from Ruben telling her that the manse she’s given over to the Holy Mariano?? Foundation is going well. Suddenly the workmen call him over. They’ve just dug up JL’s bag o’ bills! Halelujah! Manna from Mariano in Heaven above!!
Paloma and 2nes the New-nes are discussing their and Ric’s bad fortunes. Pain is a fact of life. We just have to find new reasons to go on living. Too bad a bout Ricardo. What a happy life they’d have had. So many dreams! So many lies she’d thought she had had to continue to live with to survive. Paloma is hopeful that even Ric’s trauma can be overcome some day soon with Dios’s help. “--Ricardo cannot continue like this, Abuela!”
Back at the hospital Ric suddenly opens his eyes.
Over at the prison, in his drab brick cell, JL realizes his family photo has gone missing and starts yelling wildly for it. Another prisoner/guard?? has it and sets fire to it with a match, and then throws it back into JL’s cell. He whimpers as he watches the photo, just like his life has, go up in smoke.
Sometime later, a fully recovered Ric and the New-nes are alone for a second honeymoon (note the white linen shirts and skirt) on a beautiful coast somewhere. Blue skies, fluffy clouds, interesting black pelican flying? He loves her and will till the end of time. She, for her part, is reborn. Oriana is dead and Ines Valdivia is newly reborn. She has the whole world ahead of her. Such a huge lie as the one she had to hide by is far in the distant past. She no longer—they no longer—have to lie in order to live….. They kiss and cuddle.

Parte 1: The Great Escape
Lo del Pasado:
Oriana realizes this “vacation” is a trap Jose Luis set to kidnap her and Alina. She’s seen locks on the windows and JL has demanded her cell phone which he’s now destroyed. Lina had to leave her “guard dog” home and is outside exploring. JL has gone out to get the rest of the luggage.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Back in Hermosillo at the Blue Bayou Bachin’-it Bungalow, Ric is whining to Piero that he is dying to hear something from 2nes to make sure she’s okay. Piero suggests that they use the GPS data and drive that night to wherever she and JL have stopped for the night. They can park off aways and hang around in case there’s an emergency or something. Suddenly Ric gets a call from her using the emergency cell she snuck along in her purse. She’s frantic and tells him she’s sorry she ever decided to go with Jose Luis. “—It’s a trap! She hears JL’s footsteps. “--I have to hang up!” “—Did he do something to you?” Click. She hides the phone just as JL re-enters the room. He’s irked cuz she didn’t answer him right off. “—I suppose you brought the CD with you. (Like did he ask her to or something?) When she tells him she didn’t think to he accuses her of giving it to Homero and gets physical. She denies that and insists that she forgot it, period and breaks loose of him. He tells her not to play games with him; that she left it home on purpose. (Like she really thought she was supposed to keep it taped to her body 24/7 or something?) “—Who’d you give it to? Your ‘grandma’, that Ricardo? Who in Hell’d you give it to? ANSWER ME!!” Slap!!
JL has knocked Ori down and she’s flailing on the couch just as Lina races back in to witness the beating. She races back out again, screaming for some adult to help them. (Sorry, kid, but all the adults were probably paid off to leave.) JL races after the kid and stops at the doorway, turning around to take a last look over at Oriana and spew a mouthful of blame at her. However, she has a big surprise for Psycho Spouse: a whopper of a whang-bang in the face with the handy tool-shed shovel [pala] one always keeps inside a vacation cottage in the wilds of Mexico. Out she races on tippy toes, careful not to catch her CMF spikey boot heels in the mud, to fetch the still uselessly screaming Lina, dumping her into the backseat of JL’s Beamer. “—We’re leaving. Don’t forget your seatbelt!” Keys in hand, Ori and Lina drive off in the Beamer back down the rough, rocky one lane back road they’d used to get there.
The guys pull up in Ric’s silver Mercedes, meanwhile, and Ric pulls a gun when he sees JL’s white Beamer pull up. He cocks it just as the Beamer stops and 2nes jumps out of the car to explain what’s just happened.
Back in Hermosillo, Cesar is visiting his mother, Mathilde, at the prison. She asks him what’s going on with her case. She knows that Escalona testified she didn’t know a thing about the money-laundering but she’s still stuck in jail. Cesar explains that it will take time for the investigation to finish. She’ll have to be patient and may be stuck in there a while longer.
Mad Hilde doesn’t like having to mix with the masses and tells Cesar to scream at the judge and bribe him to get her the heck owdathere! The buggy, stinking mattresses and buggy, stinking prisoners are too degrading for somebody like her! Unless this is his way of taking it out on her. Is it, she asks? Cesar shakes his head in disbelief. She continues making up her own version of why things are going so slowly: Ruben is purposely taking his time with the lawyer…blah, blah, blah…. Cesar tells her she’ll never change. She’s sick, wicked and hasn’t seen the light. Her pushiness, her arrogance and snobbery—her willingness to trample over everybody, including the law, are what got her stuck in jail in the first place. She scolds him for talking to her so disrespectfully. He gets up to leave. “—I’d better go.” She apologizes for getting on his case, but he walks off and leaves her crying.
Later that day at Paloma’s, Snoops and Michael listen to 2nes’s horror story. Snoops assures them all that if JL is dead, they’ll claim righteous/legitimate/lawful defensive action. Ric gives Snoops the copied CD and he hands it off to Mike to hand deliver it to the MI labs via private plane. (I swear it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard calling a Spanish speaking male with an English moniker!) She won’t spend a day in jail, Piero promises. The nightmare is over, Homero declares. With more reason than ever she has earned the right to the name Ines Valdivia. However, she still has to give her statement to the police. Nope. She won’t step foot into another jail cell ever. Ric and New-nes smile at one another
Gadget and Manolo take a few uniforms with them to pick up JL’s body. Ooops! The body’s not there. Manolo points out there’s only a puddle of blood where his body should have been. They check the grounds, but get bupkis. As the lot of them head over to give their statement, Manolo calls Snoops who tells the others. No trace of JL anywhere.
JL has been hiding in the woods with his trash baggy of dinero. He flags down a pick-up truck in the rain along the back road, claiming he was assaulted and needs a ride into town. The driver says fine, get in. JL starts to get into the driver’s side but pulls his gun and shoots the driver dead instead. He dumps the body and takes off.
The next day in Hermosillo, Homero calls Orines to check on her. Still no word, but the good news is there’s no dead body either. She’ll be free to come and go in a few days, but until he turns up they’ll need to be extremely careful, he warns her. No problem. Ric’s doubled the security.
As for JL, he must have run out of gas or the truck gave up the ghost. He’s got a rag around his wounded head and is resting on a hillside, calling Patrick for help. Patrick won’t give him the time of day now, tho’, cuz JL supposedly gave his CD to Homero de la Garza and they gave a tip off [dar el pitazo a – lit. whistled to] to Interpol who gave it to them (I think). The mobsters have got to grab their things and run like rats in the night, and it’s all his damned fault, he snarls back at him. JL begs for his help, but Patrick tells him to let his “grandmother” help him! “—I hope you die like the dog you are!” Click!
~~End Parte 1~~
======================
~~Parte 2~~
Up in Smoke!
Lucina, Ori and Raquel go back to the clinic a few days later. The baby is in fact JL's. So much for condoms…..Raqi worries about who’s going to care for her baby since its daddy is lost or dead. Lucina says she will, of course! Raqi warns her what an expensive pain it will be, but Ori says they’re a blessing and she’ll realize it soon enough. "--BTW, I am preggers also! So, now the baby will have all sorts of half-brothers and sisters to grow up with." Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Months later…..Ric experiences the joys of giving birth vicariously as he coaches 2nes through the birth of little Mariano. More happy, happy, joy, joy!
Six months later after that…..Raqi has realized how much she loves motherhood. Lucina asks her to consider having a dual baptism. Still no word from JL and they’re certain he’s dead or left the country. Raqi is no longer in love with the brut, either.
Ric comes to tell Paloma that the baptism is the following weekend and that Piero will be Mariano’s padrino [godfather]. Also, his divorce is final and he and New-nes will be getting married at the same time. They are going to want to live in their own house, however. Paloma is bummed and offers them her house.
Outside, on the grounds, Leonardo tells Fabiola that he’s taken a job doing portraits; it’s not his thing, but at least it pays well. They’ll be getting married, but she wants to wait till she gets her veterinarian degree. He wants it sooner cuz he wants to sleep with her already, but she’s worried he’ll become infected. He suggests they see a specialist about the precautions they’ll have to take. (Good luck with that.) Okidok. She’s satisfied. They will get married soon then.
That night a bum in a dirty raincoat with oily long hair and beard shleps along the stairs to Fort Falcon. He’s stopped by a security guard holding a gun to the back of his head. “—I knew you’d return! Patrick sends his greetings!” Why, it’s JL and he does a quick number on the guerrero and kills him. He then enters the house, garbage bag in hand, and stares at the dusty picture of him and his family at the fair.
The next day, Oriana and Alina come to invite Raqi and Lucina to the wedding/baptism combo affair. Raqi wonders if she really should go. She was such a rotten friend there for a while. Raqi is definitely wanted there, says Ori, and she's definitely invited to the thing--and no, no hard feelings, blah, blah, blah….. She thought Raqi might want to have a dual baptism with little Lucia while they're at it. Raqi can’t believe she’d be so nice to her after the rotten way she treated her. Not a problem. All forgotten. In fact, Ori feels she’s going to be forever in their debt for all they did for her! (You can say that again! Cha-ching!!) Raqi nods okay.
One week later…..
The wedding/baptism combo affair takes place (and Viewerville has to do a double-take). Is that a bikini or a wedding dress? It’s a totally backless wedding dress, tied on with tiny spaghetti straps at the neck and the back; it’s tea-length with that crazy dippy back duck-tailed hem so popular now—and expensive and chic as all get out. Ori’s got only a jeweled ribbon as a headband for the non-existent “veil”. It’s got a lacy trim at the bottom which goes around the entire hem of the short skirt and the train.
The two babies are baptized afterwards. We’ve all got more happy, happy, joy, joy than they—or Viewerville—could ever imagine or hope for. That is, more than wacky, wigged-out JL, who is outside the walls of the church, torturing himself by being there as the happy couple and the guests exit en mass (pardon the pun) should hope for.
Sometime later, JL decides to bury his bag o’ dough. Dunno where or when, just that it’s also during the small high school celebration party that Piero, Paloma, Ruben and Fidelia, Ric and 2nes are having for Sebastian. Hugs all around. Seb calls Piero "Papa". Leo and Fabi show up for the little backyard reception with smiles on their faces. Leo doesn’t seem to have any more problems with Seb. Fabi gives him their gift. Seb apologizes for the grief he caused her. She’s not holding any grudges. (Whoooeee! That’s a relief.)
At the same time, Mad Hilde finally gets out of prison. Cesar is there waiting for her. He’ll take her anywhere she wants to go, but she has to tell him she really hasn’t got any place to live now. Can she live with him? Nope! But she’s changed. Really she has. Nobody changes completely, he tells her, and he’s not about to go through what he did before. So, he’ll take her to some hotel.

Que pobres tan ricos #39, MA perforns 'a day in the life of Trofeo', A-hole keeps catching Mini in suspicious behavior.
Plastic wrapped MA gets up with difficulty to answer the phone call. But as MA speaks, A-hole catches Mini and asks her bluntly who she is talking to.
MA tells Frida that the number that called is ‘private’ and that gives him a bad vibe (mala espina).
Isela tells a paranoic A-hole some lame excuse but he isn’t buying what she is selling. ‘cosas de mujercitas’ (conversation about young lady (virgin) things LOL!)… Mini continues the list of lame excuses. A-hole ends up giving them the benefit of the doubt and tells Isela he wants dinner. As A-hole leaves, Mini can’t wait to give Isela the news that MA is in Mexico. She will go to AS’s hotel tomorrow to find out where MA is. Isela says too little too late, your husband will find out and beware… Mini can’t want to cat-play around with MA. MA calls Saul and tells him about the call, could it be Vilma/A-hole? Saul says if they were suspecting he was at La Nopalera they would have come back right away. MA tells Saul he got a job. Saul almost falls over in surprise. MA says he is overqualified for the job, surely can do it blindfolded… (Frida protests, let her sleep)…
At dinner (or wine glasses), Mini comments about Adolfo turning out to be an accomplice of MA. A-hole says divine justice exists, but yes, it is unbelievable that so much betrayal exists. Mini continues to sweeten his ear… Are you sure sure sure that your cousin MA committed the felony? A-hole protests that his word should suffice for her. Mini follows his lead, MA should be behind bars. Isela follows suit. Then shouts to the maid to bring dessert (Tapioca, yikes!)
At hotel room, Maca is all over Leo on the bed. Leo says she is so wasted, she could suffer the vengeance of Monctezuma and…. (she has fallen fast asleep right on top of him). He moves off her slowly. Seems it affects his breathing how much alcohol she is breathing out.
Back to the plastic covered bro-sis pair. Almost a carnival dance these two are making everytime they need to move (the alarm clock has buzzed, morning!) She protests its too early to get up. He leaves her protesting alone. Comes down. Lupe is having coffee. He has got dressed with shirt and tie… she offers him coffee. He accepts. Then she apologizes for the issue with Emiliano. She says he is right, she is afraid of him resenting that she never told A-hole about him. MA says sooner or later Emi will understand her reasons. MA says he has learned that everyone in the Menchaca family respect each other. MA tells Lupe that he suspects A-hole is the one behind the fraud. Nepo comes in. He sweet-talks her. MA says good morning, I am ready when you are. Nepo says ok but have to try Lupe’s coffee first. Lupe doesn’t have any more, she offers him hers. Nepo hurries MA to finish his coffee so they can go. MA shows a semi-false up-beat attitude toward the day’s work. They leave, Lupe smiles at his gimmicks.
