Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #111, 4-16-2014: The Grand Re-Opening of La Escondida; María discovers a new career; Nadia realizes she and Victor have been Pedro's private porn stars.
Refugio meets his new boss, Lieutenant Rentería. He is surprised to discover that said boss is a woman, and she quickly upbraids him for his insolence and attitude. He apologizes and insists that he's not machista, it's just that he's not used to seeing many women in the naval base. She informs him that she worked hard to merit her position and earned it through discipline, bravery, but most of all intelligence. She wonders if he thinks intelligence and beauty are incompatible--and by the way, does HE think she's pretty? Does he ever--with all due respect, he adds. Finally, she dismisses him and tells him to wait for her in the office and help her with her work. She reminds him to salute her when he forgets, and he leaves, but afterwards she is smiling to herself, and it's clear these two have some serious chemistry.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #28- Wed 4/16
Diana breaks off the non-gay-non-cousin liplock, in case Alonso comes back. Alonso, hiding out in the broom closet with Alberto, is furious.
Diego assumes that Diana left the test results on purpose, and is pissed that she'd decide to tell him something so important this way. He storms out of the office with Irene hot on his heels.
The "session" continues, but Alonso isn't kicking them out yet.
Lupita admits to her mom that she lied so good, the class wants her cop daddy to come to show-and-tell.
Cop Daddy is getting a promotion to head of Homicide. Ummm…Eleazar…please don't bring homicide stuff to show-and-tell!
Diego shows up just after Diana and Sexter leave, but he leaves without stopping to talk to Alonso and Alberto. Alonso calls him while he's in the car, but Diego is hell bent on confronting Diana about the pregnancy test. The Als are worried, thinking maybe Diego figured out the truth about Oliverio on his own.

Alonso agrees to the trap. Albogado sets up a camera with the laptop, but they find that having the laptop open and facing Diana will be obvious. Albogado offers to my a hidden camera (which will turn out to be a super obivious camera, but whatever.)

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #26- Mon 4/14
Tad has something medical going on that needs more testing.
Irene returns to the waiting room and signs the paperwork for Vicente's operation. She and Alonso go to get something to drink, followed closely by Karina. Diana is pissed that Diego doesn't seem to care how she's doing. Well, you're not the one going in for surgery. Plus, you did cause a scene earlier, so….
Irene runs into Tadeo, tells him about her dad, and almost gets away, but nooooo…Tad has to turn this into one more opportunity for a "talk." Irene actually agrees, unfortunately leaving Alonso with la chismosa de Karina, who's just dying to know everything that has nothing to do with her. She helpfully tells Diego that Irene went off with "a man her age," and then has the cheek to ask "So, who's this Tadeo Vargas, anyway?" Diego tells her it's none of her business.
Irene and Tadeo have a coffee. Tadeo brushes off his reason for being there with "Eh, you get to be a certain age and you just gotta make sure everything's working." Right. 'Cause all the guys I know are SO good about routine preventive care. Tadeo says all he wants at this point is for them to at least be able to say "hi" if they run into each other, maybe forget the past and start over. He's noticed that Irene seems happier and he's guessing that has something to do with Alonso. He says it without any jealousy and Irene practically blushes, cause, yeah, she may be "of a certain age" but that just means she knows a fine specimen of man when she sees one. I say that as a woman of a certain age. We know quality. Tad gives her his card and his digits and tells her to let him know if she needs anything. Then he takes off. And that's how The Tad Show ends for this season. Next season will be all about Tad's mysterious health issues.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 4/14/14 (#70): You'll Never Get Rich
Ahole offers Lupita a laughable sum for hitting her bike (which is AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT on Bingo Card #5, by the way, although in Ahole's mind it probably qualifies as sex... he did "bang" her, after all...). She tears up the money and throws it in his face (woo! more sex!).
Emiliano is calling for his mami. She tries not to react until Ahole drives away.
Vilma warns Saul that if he doesn't stop defending MA, he'll sink with him.
At home, Emiliano wants to know why Lupita was so angry with that man. He's not completely happy with her explanation that "he hit my bike," and she becomes impatient. He backs down, and she apologizes. It's just that he's never seen his mother so angry before.

Weekend Discussion: Novelas en Ingles?
Is this a viable idea?
There were two unsuccessful attempts a few years ago to do English-language novelas by two of the smaller networks. They failed for two reasons:
1. Poor acting, possibly due to poor writing
2. Not ready for prime time in terms of gringo viewing habits

Que pobres tan ricos #69 Some revelations... Some direct accusations... Nepo's new associate... and Lupe's biggest secret might not be a secret anymore...
Lupita argues with Chuy, he won’t admit that Carm leaving was his fault, she did not respect AS & fam. Lupe rants at him that his asking Carm to stay behind and care for the RP was not right at all. Lupe won’t let Carmelita leave because of THAT WOMAN (AS).
MA and Saul in car, MA hopes police will catch Bambi soon, tells Saul about Bambi being Queta’s nephew. MA tells Saul he is thinking of using Bambi to take down A-hole. Saul says you are crazy if you trust Bambi, it would be like playing Russian roulette with a gun FULL of bullets. MA tells Saul he felt like being in a spy movie at his last meeting with Mini, even had to escape out the back door! If it wasn’t for Lupe… Saul asks MA what’s up with Lupita. Did you do the deed with her?? ‘Home-run at la Nopalera!!’ MA nags at him to not mock Lupe. Having no money does not mean MA can use Lupe. MA admits he is in love with Lupe. Have never felt before what he feels for her. Saul is in disbelief. MA calls him ‘insensible’. MA leave. Saul tells self ‘thanks for asking about MY issues! You worry about me so much!’
At her house, Dona Queta argues with Bambi about the news report she saw. Is he still doing #$)#$*?? Bambi denies still being involved in that stuff. She does not want to be dirtied in his pig pen lifestyle.
At market, MA arrives, asks Nepo AGAIN for his job back. Nepo AGAIN gives it back to him with not much resistance.
A-hole keeps looking at the photos of Lupita.. ‘more beautiful than ever’. Vilma comes in, she gets miffed at A-hole paying so much attention to Mrs Menchaaaaca. Vilma says she will find where Lupe is. A-hole says don’t bother.. I am soooo much smarter than you… all you have to do is investigate the licence tags of the motorbike. Vilma offers to go find out. A-hole says no, I will do it myself. Vilma insists in doing it only to get shoo-ed again by A-hole.
Now Tizoc is helping Lupe at Fonda. AS comes downstairs. Lupe immediately confronts her about Carm leaving. AS acts all the entitled ‘victim’. Carm, the ‘employee’, had an issue with her, not the other way around. Lupe says Carm is NO employee. They continue arguing about who knows the true meaning of ‘respect’.
At market, MA questions Trofeo about Dona Queta. Dona Queta comes in and gets to her stand and hides the framed photo of Bambi. Trofeo tells MA that in the news they are saying that the police is after Bambi because of money laundering. MA looks to Dona Queta’s spot, and is worried/concerned.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #25- Fri 4/11
The next morning, Alonso wakes up on the couch. Irene starts picking up some of the stuff she'd knocked around. She says she's feeling better, but she's sorry she wrecked his place. More hugs. She's apologetic, but Alonso says he's happy because she got through it. He agrees to let her clean up, since she says she's going to feel bad until she does.
Diego calls Natalia to tell her that Vicente is in the hospital and he won't be coming in to the office today. Diego gives her instructions about a folder that needs to go to the plant. Diana brings Diego a coffee and asks about Irene. Diego isn't sure she should be there, or what condition she's in. The doctor comes out to say the angioplasty is a go and takes Diego back to see Vicente.
Natalia worries about how Diego is doing and hopes Vicente gets better. As Karina walks in, Natalia tells her that Vicente is in the hospital. Karina calls Diana to see how she's doing.
Tiburcio goes to confession. He tells the padre someone's in the hospital and it's his fault. He backs up and tells the story about Irene and the baby…he was supposed to take the baby and give it away, but the girl figured it out and ran away….
Diego begs his unconscious Grumps not to leave him behind. "You're all I've got. Don't leave me!" Vicente mumbles behind his oxygen mask and passes out again.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #68: 4/10/14: Amor de Microbus!
Hola, Mis Peeps! I'm doing an on the fly recap again. Not too many details. I had some trouble with the convo between Frida and Mau and also some with Tizoc and his band. Please feel free to let me know what it is that I missed. I learn so much from Y'all : ) I am skipping the refried and getting right to the new.
Shall we begin with an earworm? I have selected one for Lupe from her past so to speak with Ahole, Love On A Two Way Street!
Vilma asks Ahole if maybe there wasn't a past ahem, woman he could have had a child with. I think he insults these women as low class and wouldn't want a child of theirs. He thinks about it for a hawt second and then decides, impossible, absurd! He is and I quote 100% sure that no such child exists.
Tizoc and Don Chuy are just about done cleaning up the kitchen from that fire. Don Chuy feels like a little man for the way he reacted to Carmelita. He looks like he's crying, but he tells Tizoc he's got something in his eye, yeah, right!
AS is at some salon complaining about the quality of their lotions, not like the ones in France or whereva when her former friends show up. They want to know why she is still in Mexico and not in Italia. AS claims it's for the wedding and the stuff she bought has to do with it, when they ask her of course. When is the wedding? Don't know yet, cause it depends on the Count and Countess, but will be sure to invite them.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #24- Thurs 4/10
CarLouse and The Shrimp hang out in front of the fonda while Louse reminisces about how Carmen's cooking was so awesome. If only he hadn't tried to use her as a drug mule and she hadn't gotten caught. The promise of empanadas is just too tempting for Shrimp and he tries to go in and get some…but he's stopped by the sight of Carmen in there with Eleazar and blames CarLouse for getting them caught in the first place. I have no idea what happened, but either Shrimp shoots his gun off by accident or Louse shoves him off their shared motorcycle on purpose. Shrimp ends up in the street and gets picked up by Eleazar and Morales. Looks like the gun did go off, as Louse ends up around the corner with a shot in his side.
Drunk!Irene goes over to Alonso's. And I'm glad it's Alonso's and not another hotel room with some creep. She decides now is the time to come on to him. Yeah, that's not awkward at all.
Carmen and Co. are worried about what it means that Louse and Shrimp were in the 'hood, but Eleazar says they should be safe and he won't rest until Carmen is cleared.

Alonso advises Diego to postpone the divorce for now. He also tells Diego it's important for her to get help. She needs therapy. And in true novela form he also cautions Diego not to do anything that might upset the delicate flower that is Diana. Dr arrives and says Diana can leave that afternoon.
Nat tells GVB how grateful she is to Diego. She wants to do something for him. GVB thinks a nice gift from her stall.
Alonso arranges for his friend Alvaro (another Al?) to be Diana's therapist. Grumps doesn't think Diana needs therapy. He thinks she needs Diego to be a better husband. He blames Diego and says none of this would have happened if he had been a good husband. Diego says they'll will do what they can for Diana to get better, but he's getting a divorce. He tells Grumps he's postponing the divorce but come hell or high water "De que me divorcio, me divorcio."

Tuesday 4/8/2014---- Por Siempre Mi Amor Recap #89---- I have no idea anymore!
-Oso is in bed with a grindguard and hilarity ensues. Tita must really not like that snoring but who would LOL.
-Zenaida (you know, she looks like Marianela, are you sure she isn't Mari's momma?) and Balthazar are like a slightly saturated version of Tita and Oso and she lays her charm on while Balto (never too late for nicknames) lays it off. Someone's a knockin' at the door and they both go to answer it. (Balto takes his job too seriously.)
-BonBon is heading to his colorful car (has it always been green? I thought it was yellow when he got the newspaper about Fernando's "death") and his stalker/predator is on the move watching him and filming him. Coincidentally, FeVer s headed to see 'Za who is sitting at a table alone and he asks her out to lunch. She declines because she is going to go see Tita's Casa Hogar. He then says he will accompany her to it!
-Balto and 'Naida escort the inspector to see Tita and she talks with her.
-Tita is up in happy flames because the casa hogar has passed inspection and the grand opening is soon to come!
-Illeana and DanHairyChest are in the vecindad when Mari is talking with Agatha about heartbreak and she denies any and Borlas comes. Mari leaves with Borlas and after asking, Agatha lets him know what he did wrong and he looks as if he regrets being the sacrificial lamb.
-Isa is talking with Gaby about how happy she is for Tita and that her dream finally came true! Some talk later and Isa mentions going on a trip and that FeVer and Marcela are coming to catch FeVer in the act. Gabs says she doesn't trust Marcela one bit. (This plan can only go so well...)
-BonBon's being stalked some more.
-The inspector is with the gang at La Casa Hogar and Dena tells her it's named Casa Hogar Adalberto. Everyone is giddy with glee!
-Illeana and Daniel are in the car and she says if it's a casa hogar he can see the kids whenever he wants! Danny then agrees and disagrees. (I just have to say this; Illeana isn't bad for liking Daniel. The only real fault is that no one wanted to tell Bronce Mari the ugly truth or that Daniel wouldn't listen to Soni when she was clearing up stuff at the wedding. So in a way, it's Danny's fault for not listening and almost everyone's fault for not telling her. The truth hurts but only as much as a booboo unlike a lie or hidden truth which is like a scar on the chest. Illeana only liked Danny and spared her feelings until it was no longer necessary. At least she isn't like Daffne who flaunts her good around town like a horny scoutmaster!)
-Tita comissions Borlas to work at La Casa Hogar but he can't abandon studies!
-Cuca is talking with Gil about how he feels for Agatha (her nickname shall be 'Tha and just for fun, should Cuca be 'Ca?)
-The Narvaez/Guttierrez clan is having breakfast and are happy about Tita's casa hogar.
-Gil goes to see 'Tha and she says she isn't ready (Well get ready Cinderella 'cause Gil Charming's takin' you out tonight!)
-'Za and FeVer are walking and he lets her know he is going on a trip and she asks to come. He says she will be bored (I'm pretty sure she will be ANYTHING but bored if it's the trip I'm thinking of.) Bottomline, she isn't going.
-Danny, 'Tha, Gil and Ill(eana) are eating out and happy together.
-At the Casa Hogar grand opening, everyone is in ot their own thing and happy. However in this novela euphoria doesn't last long and FeVer and Isa pull telepathically pull each other aside to exchange the address of the trip (Venue) The gears in Art Dad's head turn as he sees those two ealk off and wonders what's up.

At Fonda, Trofeo and Chilaquiles ask Frida what is there to eat. Leo is freaked out, says customers are bottomless barrels… AS says fix them some tortillas… Frida and Leo convince AS to cook something. She goes to kitchen but not leaving her bottle behind.
Lupe asks Emi to go back to room. MA and Lupe are by poolside. They have another cute argument. He says she has not given him a chance to admire her looks(she is in swimsuit). MA wants to invite her to eat some tacos.
Back at fonda, AS is drinking her martini while cutting potatoes (for Spanish tortilla?) Frida keeps waiting on customers. Leo comes in, says customers want to eat something heavier like panzita. AS is wabbling… she throws stuff on pot… they will love this delicious dish! (LOL!) Mati says see? When you make up your mind, you actually can do something productive. AS says she could care less about her comments, like a fly flew by. Leo says can’t help AS because it is super-complicated. AS says use your head. If anyone poor can use it, you, who have traveled so much should too.
At Chalma room, Chuy tells Nepo about his ‘beatings’ when he was a wrestler. This is nothing, compared to that. Nepo is thankful to them for their hospitality. Nepo lets Chuy use the truck to go back home to get some things.
At Fonda, Leo is having trouble lighting the stove. The room is filling with gas. Then he lites a match… drops it, lites another one and the whole stove goes up in flames… he tries to blow (LOL!) he calls for his mami… AS shouts ‘ay santa maddona!!’ Mati is not much help either blowing from where she is sitting.

It's the next day. Vicente is calling Karina to give her instructions to follow while he's out of the office, including bringing him a bunch of files to review. He's saying it in this annoyingly patronizing tone and griping at Karina for not saying anything more than "yes, sir." He hangs up before she even finishes telling him she'll get it done. In the middle of carrying out his orders, she calls Diana to apologize and see if they can hook up when she goes by the house. Diana tells her to bring some sleeping pills if she ever wants to be besties again.
The judge changed Carmen's charges and she can now get out on bail, once Diego pays it.
Karina calls Alonso to pretend she has insomnia and needs a prescription for sleeping pills. He says he'll leave a prescription for her with his secretary. Oh nooooooo!

He tells her he remembers smelling her perfume and he's sure it was her who planted the drugs in Natalia's desk. She counters that he's BEEN cheating on her since he met Natalia, or he would have told her who she was.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #64 The trip begins... and the wrestling event starts at all fronts. Carmelita vs AS and Leo, A-hole vs Mini and Isela, and the main event: a baker's dozen dance at Chalma.
MA tries to ‘explain’ to Nepo… a long story, kind of cumbuluted… Nepo says what I have is time. MA begins…
All begun when I returned to Mex, … without papers, … running from the ‘migra’ … I was the only one born in the USA… they told the ‘migra’ here that I was here. … then I had to find where to stay… Nepo offers help… MA passes… Nepo insists, seems he is offering MA a place to stay… Nepo then says we all could go to the Chalma tomorrow… you should put land between you and your problems… enjoy a vacation… MA smiles forcefully, seems it is settled…
Perla shows Chuy her swimsuit. He gets a bit miffed, says she would be more dressed with a lettuce leaf… you want to parade around Diego Armando with that on? You are a ‘damita’ and have to demand some respect… She keeps kidding around… Chuy says he has always taught Tizoc to respect women. She keeps mocking him. He gets more irritated and warns her you will not wear this, not even for Halloween (jk, he said ‘not even as a joke’).
A-hole is about to celebrate/toast to those two witches gone… Vilma reassures him that she will not let Mini keep anything of his… Door bells… Vilma yells for Oyuki to answer the door. A-hole says she is acting more and more like his mom in law.
Mini and Isela walk in with a guy in a suit… Mini warns him that ‘you pay for everything in this life’… The guy in suit announces to A-hole that Mini is suing him for spousal abuse.
Nepo and Trofeo show MA the spot he will sleep at (seems just a little step ahead of the cold attic floor, I thought Nepo’s house looked a little better. Is this his office at the fruteria?? MA is speechless at seeing his new president’s suite… his cell phone rings. As MA is on phone, Trofeo asks Nepo if it could be that MA is interested in ‘la prima’? Nepo wonders too. Nepo tells Trofeo that he is trying to get MA to trust him so MA will help him with ‘la prima’.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #20- Fri 4/4
Eleazar visits Carmen in solitary. He lies that the kids are all fine and tells her she's safer there, away from The General, and that she needs to be careful with her. He asks her about the bags and Carmen remembers that the tags were still on them and she saved them.
Diego visits the "security" department at Caprico and asks for an incident report and the security videos. He's surprised to find Natalia in his office and they make googly eyes at each other while she puts him through to someone to return a call. Outside, a grumpy Karina arrives…late…and gets stalled further by yet another call from Diana. Grumps is pissed that Natalia is in the office and refuses to apologize to Natalia. She tries not to provoke him and tells Diego not to fight with him on her account, but well, Grumps needs no provocation. Diego gives Natalia work-related instructions that she probably both understands and will be able to carry out effectively. Out at Karina's empty desk, Vicente does a little mental math and decides Karina + Diana = Trouble. As Karina skids to a halt in front of her desk, Vicente summons her into his office. She's still frantically scratching her neck as he asks her when, exactly, she touched the baggies, because he never saw her. Of course, she can't give him a good answer. "Diana's the one who told you to plant the drugs, right?" Karina confesses they did it together, but it was Diana's idea. Vicente is furious because they could have gotten the company in trouble. He tells Karina she'd better not call Diana and warn her as he storms out of the office.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #87: 4/4/14
I combined some conversations.
Isa tells Gaby about the "trato." Gaby is gobsmacked. Isa thinks this can buy them time and keep Ara from marrying a little longer. Gaby wonders how much time will it take and Isa tells her however long it takes until she supposedly falls in love and leaves her husband.
Sonia can't believe that Cuca doesn't work at that job anymore. It took a lot of effort to find her. Javier thinks Cuca probably went back to her pueblo and won't return. Sonia is disappointed by his less than helpful attitude.
Mari is leaving school and Borlas has come by to visit. Mari's classmates and headmistress make fun of Borlas the naco. Ally and Uriel come to pick up Mari and they invite Borlas to dinner. Looks like it's Naco Stew for dinner tonight!
The orphanage is almost finished. Tita is thrilled.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #19- Thu 4/3
Diego thinks Grumps planted the drugs and happily announces that since Natalia quit yesterday, the drugs can't be hers. Unfortunately, she didn't sign any paperwork, so Grumps isn't buying it. Diego is furious that Grumps won't back off.
Karina gives Diana a non-update, since she's too scared to listen at the door.
Tadeo is back in his lair, pondering how when he looks at Irene, it's like no time has passed. He's right. Marisol del Olmo is babesome and barely aging.
Diego, in his car, is trying to get hold of Natalia, but she's ignoring his calls as she tries to find another job. He gives up and tries the fonda, asking to speak to one of her brothers, but before Abdul can talk to him, Diego's cell battery dies.
Natalia gets arrested on the way to the job interview she JUST set up, damnit! Diego arrives and tries to tell the cops she didn't do it, but they say they have to take her in because a report has been made. Diego rushes back to his car to follow the cops.

Qué Pobres, Weds 4/2/14 (#62): Vilma Plays Dress-Up in Mommy's Closet
Saul visits MA at the market for rehash. He dIdn't find any more proof in the stuff Mini provided, but he has some people looking at Ahole's bank transfers to Adolfo.
MA says no, the papers for the house haven't shown up yet, and it's just as well because he'd be tempted to do a stupid thing and maybe that would be more trouble than he can handle right now. Saul teases MA for being in love. Nepo overhears and asks, who are you in love with? MA says he's in love with his job. He introduces Saul, who picks lint off of MA's shirt like a fussy spouse. "We're not that close," MA tells Nepo.
Mati asks how Emil did at his polo match (??) but it's not till next week. (I hope she's referring to the show-and-tell at school). He asks her about the wordy papers she swapped out with his drawings mixed together with Leo's. She reminds him not to tell anyone else about them, because those papers have magic powers. They can be good or bad depending on whose hands they fall into. They can even be dangerous. Certain things can change people and bring out their ugly side and turn love into hate. "Don't worry about them," she reassures Emil. "I put them somewhere no one will find them. They're like a treasure map!"

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #18- Wed 4/2
Natalia, rather than just calling building security, decides to go check on Drunken Diego. At least she took Abdul with her…but only out to the street to get a taxi. Building security lets her in when she identifies herself…verbally!...as Diego's secretary. You call that "security"?! The same "security" guard lets himself get called away by a guy who says there's some dudes making graffitti on the side of the building so that Diana and Karina can sneak in and plant the coke. Which I kinda hope turns out to be baby powder or artificial sweetener.
Apparently, Eleazar likes to grocery shop when he's drunk. And take said groceries to Garcia Central Station. He's like the Santa Claus of cereal. Luz ends up coming over and gives him a hard time about being drunk in front of the kids. He keeps talking about the grocery run as a "mission" his mom sent him on. She makes him apologize for being drunk, but he accidentally lets out that Carmen's in solitary.

Que pobres tan ricos #61... If I had a penny for every time a leading lady or leading guy act stupidly after being on receiving end of stupid people's demeaning statements...
Does that mean that you are breaking up with me, lupita?? (DUH!!!) Nepo claims the earlier proposal did not count because he did not have a ring at the time. She says it doesn’t matter. HE is depressed. She feels bad, says she and her whole family appreciate Nepo and his family. Nepo insists ‘if you care about me as I care about you, and you don’t really want to marry me, I understand… but… one condition…(gesturing tiny with his fingers) Nepo offers to run with the expenses of the trip. He will treat everyone to the trip and when they return, friends like always. (so he got his way, he is coming along for the trip, she leaves and he starts gesturing ‘Yes!!’ like he has a plan for the trip…)
Mati fixing MA up to go to work after he overslept. He asks Frida what time she got home. She nags that she is grown up already. MA seems to be irritated, but he claims he is just worried about her. Leo jumps up, whinning they won’t let him sleep. AS whines that this is just like the camote salesguy and tamale vendors waking her up with their scandal. Mati and MA and Frida all shout in chorus just like the street vendors just to annoy Leo and AS… (that was funny…)
Later Frida and Tizoc run into each other in the bathroom, he reminds her what happened last night, ‘amor eterno’ and all that… she seems to be depressed, more like wanting to forget.
Later on Tizoc runs into her again and asks her for another kiss… she is annoyed by the request, she claims it was fun last night, but she is not ready for compromise. HE is though. She says what happened last night should not have happened, and I am not a ho… He says he knows that, she is no ho, she is the ONLY one. Frida keeps backtracking… she only wants friendship. He says he gets it, she still considers him beneath her… She tries to say no that’s not it.
Later on, at work, Nepo and MA are talking about MA’s ideas for Nepo’s business… he only asked MA for a ‘proposal’. MA seems to have a complete business and marketing plan and this all goes over Nepo’s head. He just wants to get the business to go well. So now it is MA that is calling quits on the plan. (seems Nepo insisted in MA helping him with the Lupe issue, MA walks away protesting).
Perla talks to Tizoc, she wants to ‘defend him from Frida’… she leaves saying ‘leave it to me, I’ll fix it.’ He stays there worried…
MA continues counting the money and saying he will make a payment on what they owe the Menchacas… (wait, this is a repeat of the scene we saw last night)… Perla attacks Frida, grabs Frida by neck. Out come from different doors Tizoc and MA first, then the rest of the family. AS uses the opportunity of the chaos to steal some of the money from MA’s stack. Perla tells everyone Frida got involved with Tizoc… everyone has frozen faces… (this scene was totally repeated from the ending of last night).
At hospital seems A-hole is demanding he be released, the doctor says that is not a good idea, your friends Pepe and Tono could be impacted. Get used to the idea that you won’t be able to have intimacy with your wife for a good while. Vilma starts talking silly about transplant of those organs is no easy task. A-hole insists in leaving, Doctor hands him his release papers to sign.
AS questions Frida if she got involved with the ‘cumbanchero’… She nags at Frida that they all lost their dignity… MA notices the money in AS’ cleavage and takes it saying ‘seems the whole family lost some dignity! Right?’

Por Siempre Mi Amor # 83 US 3/31/14 Too Many Predators, Not Enough Prey.
Leftovers:
Tita comforts Mari after the wedding incident that Mari herself caused. I don't get this. Mari attacked Ileana, Ileana was publicly humiliated, Dan was kicked out of the party and everyone sympathizes with Mari. Seems to me Mari's the one who acted like an idiot. Yes I know Mari's heart is broken, but that doesn't mean she should act like a 5-year old and everyone should feel sorry for her.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 3/31/14 (#60): His Windsong Stays on Her Mind
- Tato insinuates to Frida that, hypothetically, a really classy chick, maybe someone Frida would know, like maybe even the type of chick that Frida's brother MA was engaged to, could like him just the way he is and he wouldn't have to go marching in parades or handing blankets around to poor people just to impress her. Later it occurs to her that Tato must have been the person who revealed their location to Minerva.
