De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #44- Thu 5/8
De que hay opciones, hay opciones
Don't worry about your little wardrobe malfunction, Brigitte. "I didn't see anything. I've already forgotten." She finally stops her relentless and feeble attempt at seduction when Irene and Natalia come back from the copy shop.
Paolo gets the job, to the delight of his new love interest.
Diego complains to the ladies about his crappy severance pay and his plans to sue. He's planning to use the money to finance the clothing line. Irene knows exactly what the old goat is up to. Natalia is alarmed to hear that Diego is going to leave the house…"But what about Diana?" Natalia…there is such a thing as being too good!
From the kitchen, Irene explains to Alonso that she's going to have dinner with Tad. He gets whiney. That is not attractive, Alonso.
Diego's bags are packed. He's got no intention of living under the same roof as his lyin' grandpa and his cheatin' soon-to-be-ex-wife. Diana gets tipped off and sends Alina to threaten him. Diana joins them, whining about not wanting to be locked up. Diego explains to Vicente it's for the health of the baby. He calls their bluff and says "Take her if you want to. I'll figure out how to get my child back." Diana and Alina head upstairs to pack.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 127 - 5/8/2014 - Laurito Wants To Be The Red Headed Step-Child
Carlota and Montserrat Discuss Laurito’s Daddy Issues
• Montserrat and Tia Carlotta speak of how Montse has tried to give Laurito a “picture” of his real father, Alejandro. Montse smiles as she remembers Ale changing Lauro’s diapers and holding him, way back in the day. This was, of course, after Ale rejected to kid as the bastard son of Jose Luis Alvarez, but it seems Montse only wants to remember the good times with her MIA husband.
• Ever since Laurito started school Montserrat has put a picture of Alejandro in Lauro's backpack so his father could be with him all the time. I suspect this is so that if Alejandro makes a miraculous return Laurito will recognize him instantly.
• Montserrat wants Lauro to always love Alejandro, particularly after Little Lauro becomes Jose Luis’ redheaded stepchild.
• Carlotta proffers her usual brand of astute Pollyanna analysis. She thinks Lauro and his not-really-dead-dad Ale will always have a special bond.
• Carlota says that a photo cannot make up for the hands-on love that Little Lauro needs. Montse cannot deny that to the child.
Jose Luis And Basurto Agree To Make a Convicted Felon The New Chief of Police
• José-Luis concludes his deal with EZ Basurto. JL will be appointed the new Chief of Police in Aguazul. I wonder if he will have to wear that same kind of tacky laminated name badge around his neck that EZ sported when he was on the job? It could wrinkle his stylish new Italian suit. Huh.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #88: 5/8/14: The Commenters Recap
Hola Amiguis! I am unable to do my usual Thursday recap because Mr. Mads if having knee surgery at 6:00AM on Friday morning and I couldn't stay up to watch the episode. So I came up with a novel idea. Just as Julie did a whole team recap a couple three weeks ago, I thought I'd do a all commenters recap. This way the commenters can chip in and tell me what you saw. I will be back next Thursday, for my usual recap. Thank you so much for helping me out and hey, I have an earworm for you, I couldn't leave you without one ; ) The Best Is Yet To Come!

Hola! This is my last recap for Por Siempre Mi Amor. I want to
just say that it was a pleasure recapping and I thank everyone for their
support even with Univision's scissors. I want to publicly thank my
team, Xintperuvian, CorazonSalvaje, J Desde NYC and Sara for helping
hold this novela together when possible and all of the commenters. Your
comments was the motivation that kept us going. I am taking a brief hiatus and will return to recap for the next 8:00 novela. FF
Isa
tries to convince the witch doctor to let her go but the witch doctor
needs Isa in order to get Art from Feo (or so she thinks). Isa will
never have Art according to the witch doctor.

Pobres, 5/7: my first one!
Hi guys! This is my first time watching this show, so please forgive any mistakes I've made!
We open on Wilma and Alejo - Alejo gloats about how his son loves luxury (just like his dad) and will be easily won. Wilma favors a legal battle, but Alejo prefers his current plan.
Lupita attempts to convince MA that she wasn't involved in the hair pulling fight. She wasn't even there. Alibi - she's been with Alejo! He doesn't love that..
Money launderer guy (Adolfo) has made a nice dinner for Vilma. Alejo imperiously demands that Vilma bring him wine. Adolfo helps in a very friendly hands-on way, and Alejo snaps a pic with an evil look on his face and hiding his phone sneakily.
Flashback/dream for the kid of the amazing rich-kid room he'll have with his Dad. He shows off the expensive school photos to tizoc, with some easy commentary on the difference b/w rich and poor. How swiftly the boy has decided to be spoiled and obnoxious.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #126, 5-7-2014: Even blind, I'd know that unfortunate mustache anywhere!
Pedro returns to wreak havoc in Nadia's life; Josefina returns to discombobulate DIM; Ale's recovery continues, but his desperation grows.
Lo refrito #1: Gracie gives a performance worthy of a write-in campaign for a nomination as best actress at the TV y Novela Premios as she talks about how sad and lonely she feels over the loss of her children's love.
Lo refrito #2 Buenos Aires, House of Victor and Nadia: Pedro can see Nadia; Nadia can't see Pedro; things don't look good.
Lo nuevo
Mansion Mendoza-Basurto, Agua Azul, Mexico: Gracie continues with her attempt at conciliatory speech-making. She claims that all she has ever wanted was the best for her family, though she admits that what she thinks they want is not necessarily what they need. The others seem skeptical, but she is either oblivious or not bothered and goes on anyway. She says she'll do whatever it takes to return to their good graces and that for her their happiness is worth any price:
If she has to accept that loser ex-marinero José-Luis, she will.
She also really wants to support DIM in his new relationship with er….
"What your name, sweetheart?" Gracie asks Dim's female guest.
"Monica," says Captain Monica Rentería, surprisingly quietly for someone used to giving orders. (As a military woman, though, she seems to comprehend and accept Gracie's natural authority.)

Por Siempre Mi Amor #110 (Mexico #149)-Wednesday- 5-7-14-A Funeral and A Wedding And A Divorce All In The Same Episode!
As we begin to read this recap- anvils are making rapid descents.
Ara asks a dying Dante- where is her dad? He was tricked into meeting Feo alone. Feo will exchange Art for Isa.
Sadly
Isa gets into a tugging match with the crazy doctor Skankenstien. The
crazy bitch tells Isa to behave or she will kill the baby. (Isa thought
bubbles- I wish that I knew and realized that hitting someone over the
head with a heavy object would knock them out. I would have knocked
out Fernando and this crazy doctor.)
The first anvil of the evening:
Ara
insists on getting answers from Dante, who is on his last leg and can
barely speak. Where did Feo take Art? All Dante can remember is that
they were on the highway heading towards Pachuca. He got shot and Feo
kept it moving with Art in the trunk.
I felt bad for Lucha
and Gabino who found out at their son Dante's hospital bed, that he
took the easy road and didn't listen, he regrets it and was Feo's
accomplice. Feo turned on him and shot him. He told Ara that on Feo's
computer, there is evidence against him, there are videos
can be used as evidence. He tells them that Fernando and Javier are the
same person. Snooty Ara says, yea, we know that already.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #43 Wednesday 5/7/14
De que tienen apetito, tienen apetito
Ok folks, the DVR said it was recording, but it's not listed as recorded. I don't know what happened. This is just from crappy notes. There will be lots of holes. Sorry. Maybe later the recording will magically appear. I'm really annoyed. And my wit (such as it is) is gone. The recap is as dry as burnt toast.
El Refrito
Alberto (Albogado) tells Alonso (Al) about Diana's e-mail threatening to get rid of the baby. He asks Alonso for a psychological workup on Diana.
Diego is happy Irene didn't drink. He tells her about Natalia (Nat) and Brigitte (Brat) bringing everything to Nat's house. They talk a little about Diana. Irene starts to quote Alonso and stops herself. She backtracks and says it's something he told her in therapy about some women doing anything to get their way.
Albogado will get the paperwork ready to give to the judge so they can have Diana committed. After Albogado leaves, Alonso asks Eleazar to keep Alonso's relationship with Irene a secret.
Tad is back home. He doesn't want to tell Irene about his health problems. He doesn't want to be a bother.
Lo Nuevo
Irene, Nat and Brat will work at the Garcia departamento until a better location is found. Carmen is lukewarm about the idea.
Albogado and Alonso discuss the Diana conundrum. Her mom is back and surely sees Diana as the poor victim.
Alina (Diana's mom) is still talking to colleague in the field. It bothers her that she's not there. Diana takes offense. Alina asks if she had breakfast. Diana lies and tells her juice, eggs and bread. Diana leaves in a huff.
Irene, Nat and Brat work hard.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #42- Tue 5/6
De que hicieron el amor, hicieron el amor!
Alonso went to the bar to pick up Irene! She didn't drink! She's amazed Alonso still believes in her. Well, of course she is, because her dad's a total tool!
Eleazar tries to find out why Chato has shown up all of a sudden, and what he was doing while he was away. Chato doesn't mention his "problem," but he talks about how it would be impossible not to love Lupita and that he's had other women (yeah, right) but none as great as Carmen and he never should have left her. He realizes it's time to pick Lupita up from school. This is not going to go well.
Padre Juancho thinks Diana's threats are empty. Natalia knows that even if she leaves Diego alone, he's still determined to get a divorce and no one's going to be able to convince Diana that it's NOT because of Natalia. And if she tells Diego, then he'll confront Diana and she'll make good on her threat. Natalia begs Padre Juancho to go talk to her. He grudgingly agrees, and I do not blame him for wanting nothing to do with that hot mess! But, if he can't talk some sense into her, he thinks she needs to tell Diego. In other words, just go tell him and save Padre Juancho the trip. Seriously, Natalia…I thought you liked Padre Juancho.

RECAP BY CORAON SALVAJE:
(T'is my final PSMA recap. I will miss my team, Tofie's lists and the novela! On with the show!)
fART has put the pedal to to the metal and is on the phone with FeVer. He tells him to not even think of laying a finger on Isabel and that's when FeVer begins to push fART's berkserk button 'til it's stuck. (He gets to the point where he even says Isabel could be excepting a FeVer baby.) FeVer says if he wants to see Isa again, to take a detour and come alone (I guess you know what that means.)

The first couple of minutes did not record. Please fill in what I missed.
Huckalious Ale is slowly crawling out of bed. He falls gracefully to the floor, pulls himself up and decided to do squats on the side of the bed. Nothing like being in a coma for 7 years and suddenly decide to work out.
Vic is outside the room and asks the nurse where he can get a cup of joe. The nurse drops her tray of meds and Ale takes the opportunity to make his escape. He stumbles to the elevator unnoticed. He bypasses Vic who is trying to figure out out how to get a cup of joe out of the vending machine. He runs out of the hospital confused at his surroundings.
Vic returns to the room to find Ale gone.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #41- Fri 5/5
De que eres un monstruo, eres un monstruo!
Andres offers to leave, since Diego's there acting like a jerk, and he does leave, effectively stranding Natalia. Who turns on Diego, asking him where the hell he gets off doubting her or assuming that SHE needs someone else to console herself with while he deals with his WIFE. And here she is being so understanding and this is how he behaves? His excuse is that he loves her so much that he gets jealous and he promises never to do it again. Natalia tells him not to promise, but she's ready to brush off his little bout of cavemanitis. They go up to his office for the papers the needed.
Alonso is wondering if Irene even read his email…or cares. He turns down Karina when she calls, then gets annoyed with himself for waiting for Irene to call. He leaves his apartment just as Irene does call, and she tells herself it's better that way.
Chato is continuing to try to charm Lupita by reading The Three Little Pigs, but he gets sad that she's not listening and starts changing to story, talking about how the wolf was his mother's least favorite and was adopted by a band of hyenas. Lupita knows that's not how it goes and takes over storytelling duties, with Chato providing sound effects. As the dramatic music swells, Carmen looks in and the Post-it of Doom tells us Chato has completed Task #2.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #108 (Mex #147) 5/5/14 Dr. Skankenstein is BSC, Dafne is Busted and fArt *Finally* Gets a Clue
Well here we are in the final week of this TN and still so much to resolve! Will the writers be able to bring this to a satisfying conclusion? We'll know on Friday. For now I want to say Thank You to all of you who have been with us on this very frustrating journey. Thanks to my fellow recappers: Corazon Salvaje, Tablet Jefe, J Desde NYC and Sara who have done a great job! Thanks also the commenters who have responded to our work and given us much humor and great insights into the characters. (Tofie your lists have been da bomb!) Many times I have enjoyed the conversations in the comments more than this novela which Univision did its best to sabotage. This was my first time recapping and I enjoyed it. I learned so much and I hope to do it again sometime in the fall. My final picture for Por Siempre Mi Amor is this:
 |
We finally know why Arturo is sooo stupid. |
On to the recap!
As Isabel runs toward the house she sees Marcela (aka Dr. Skankenstein) coming down the stairs. Isabel leaps toward Dr. Skankenstein and lands a stinging slap to her face. Isabel never should have trusted her. She can't believe her lies, that she's after her husband. Marcela calls Isabel loca. Isabel yells, "The crazy one is you, Marcela!" Marcela says Arturo hates Isabel now. "You're dead to him! You don't exist!" Isabel tries to get past Marcela to the house. They scuffle. Marcela hits Isabel with her medical case. The thump is so loud I have to wonder if she's carrying bricks in there. Isabel falls to the ground unconscious. Marcela takes a syringe and a vial from her bag and shoots Isabel with a sedative. This is daylight and out in the open in front of a house full of people. Why doesn't anyone hear the screaming or see what's happening here?

Qué Pobres, Lunes 5/5/14 (#85): Taste and the Tasteless
Ana Sofia (AS) gets to her friend Chabelita's hacienda (it looks VERY familiar) and tells the loan shark to wait outside. This does not discourage him in the least.
At home, after school, Lupe introduces Emiliano to his father. Alejo (Ahole) puts on an impressive display. Emiliano maintains a poker face. Lupita's face is moist.
Ahole has a gift for Emiliano. He hugs the overwhelmed boy and pressures Lupe about the name change. While the grownups step outside to talk, Emil looks really pleased with his gift but I don't think we see what it is. Or maybe he's just happy that he thinks he won't have to sneak around any more.
Lupe warns Ahole not to take advantage of Emiliano. She'll be watching him, and he'd better be careful.
At the Cafe Popular, Mini comments on Miguel Angelo (MA)'s non-designer clothing. Mini says she's found no evidence to help him yet, but she happens to know that Ahole has a son! Mini is personally offended that he went and had a kid with someone behind her back. The tramp's name is Menchaca, she says. MA doesn't try very hard to look surprised. She tries to find out who he's been seeing. He tells her they'd better not keep meeting if she's hoping to get back with him. He especially doesn't want her to make Ahole suspicious. Most of all, he really values their new "friendship"!

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 5/5/14 #124
Chapter
124: Return From the Ashes
Pedro
Medina's Office: Governor Medina spoke in very clipped tones
with Carlos Torres, the man who had snapped the photo of Nadia at the
concert. He was staring at the picture while demanding every piece
of information available on the woman in the photo. Almost anyone
could tell he was a pressure cooker with a loose lid.
Monserrat
Mendoza's Home: Monserrat allowed José Luis to introduce
himself to young Lauro. She had never talked about him with her son,
only of Angélica. She had told her son that Angélica was watching
him from Heaven along with his father and grandfather. She watched
as José Luis told the boy he was his godfather, husband to his
deceased godmother, Angélica. The boy had a problem with his toy
cars and José Luis handled the situation like a pro, as though he
had children of his own. Something life had stolen from him until
that moment. Over the next few days he played with Lauro under the
watchful eyes of the boy's mother and grandmother at the beach, in
the garden, in front of the TV, other places. Rosario (who still
missed her own son) was concerned at first, but soon saw that José
Luis was in fact becoming the father figure her grandson had missed
since before he even knew he needed one. When he carried the
sleeping child into the house and helped put him to bed he could not
help thinking about what he wanted this to mean. He was so sincere
that one morning Rosario said to her daughter-in-law that she should
move on with her life. She would help because she wanted to see her
happy. They embraced, each hoping she was making the right decision.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 123: 5/2/14: Memories and Premonitions!
Ahoy, Mi Amiguis! I have been under the weather since last weekend and am now recovering. If I miss anything or need a correction please let me know. We still have the same distubrance in the force, namely Peddy of course, but there is a sliver of hope on the horizon and well, you'll see what I mean. I am starting with the usual earworm for you to enjoy as you read this recap. This one is dedicated to Monse and JL. Try To Love Again
Shall we begin? I am briefly going over that last scene where Monse feels Ale is gone now for the last seven years and Rosy isn't accepting it, pobrecita! After all the poor woman's finace, the love of her life was brutally murdered by Don Benny, she went to the prison for 30 years for a that crime which she didn't commit and had just come to know her son, she has lost so much. Monse understands this grief and hands her the cell phone for her to look at the last words of her son Ale, Monse says she will talk to her manana and gives her a kiss and hug goodnight. Rosy watches the video and cries and kisses that cell phone.
Dimi and Monica have spent the night together, and he actually looks happy having done this, but maybe a mite guilty? Monica stirs and smiles. What does Dimi do? He covers her and goes! It's not nice to do this Dimi, jus' sayin'! Monica wakes to find Dimi gone. She gets up and finds a piece of chocolate the Ferrara Roche wrapped in gold type, her car keys and a note. What does the note say? Far as I could tell he told her he was sorry he had to go, he did bring her car for her, it's outside so she can get back to her place and he'll see her Lunes at work. Hmmmmmm.....

Irene, Vicente, and Lala all come running into Diana's room. No one got shot, but they see the gun on the ground and Diana laughing maliciously.
Alonso and Alberto talk chicks. Alberto doesn't know where things are going with Brigitte. Alonso says there's no one for him and he'd rather be alone right now. He gets the call from Irene that Diana shot at Diego, but he wasn't hit. They just don't know what to do, so she asks him to come over. Los dos Als hit the road.
Paolo fills out his job application, where for some reason it's asking for the names of both his parents. He jokes with Abdul…"Should I say my dad is Eleazar Medina or Chato Reynoso?" He puts down Fonda Los 6 Garcia as his work experience and Abdul as his previous boss since, as Abdul says, Carmen is the owner, but he's the General Manager. Paolo gets worried when it asks about his criminal record, but Abdul tells him the thing with the truck doesn't count and if they need proof, they can ask Eleazar for a letter.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #84, 02 May 2014... Ahole arrives unannounced at Fonda (yikes!). Salomon gets 'fresco' and receives a slapfest from AS. Emi 'meets' his dad.
Ahole gets call from Lupita. call ok will meet but we will see later about the surname, Ahole knows Isela and Mini are at table so he talks to Lupita with a lot of charm, as if she is his current girlfriend, and tells her his whole life are Emiliano and her. Ahole walks away after hanging up and Isela and Mini act offended, how dare he talk like that in front of US!. They start trying to remember the name of the boy’s mother… is it Mechaca, Muchaca, Isela even says Chewbacca, and Mini says no, that’s the hairy one!(these 2 really work well off each other in comedy)
Vilma comes out to living room, Adolfo has fixed her desayuno, she is shocked, no one cooked for her before. He notes every man should. When she sits down, she gets a call from Ahole summoning her to get there NOW!! She has to run out, won’t even take bread and butter on the go, poor Adolfo was stood up.
Lupe drops off Emiliano at school. Reminds him she will arrange the meeting to meet his dad. She tells him some things will change, like he will get his dad’s surname. He is glad now he will also have both his dad’s surname and his mom’s surname.
Carm and Lupe talk on phone, they realize Gwendy is again hearing from the other line, Carm comes in the bedroom and reprimands Gwendy. Lupe feels more pitiful for Gwendy, she is sad about Nepo not giving her even the time of day.
Lupe delivers chilaquiles at Mercado, apparently MA followed her to that stand from Nepo’s stand, Lupe and MA chat that Nepo already knows she is with an Angel RP. It was Gwendy who told him, she is incapable of holding a secret, so be very careful what you tell Gwendy. With this MA wants her to confirm she cares about him. He insists he can’t live without her and wants to tell everyone about their relationship. They are about to kiss but stop just short, realizing where they are. She leaves and again he is dancing for joy.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #107 (Mexico #146)- Run, Isa! Run!
Ay Ay Ay! I couldn't take notes fast enough, and half of it was crap I didn't care about!
Right to the new
Borlas tells Sonia that despite her rejection, he is proud of who he is. Borlas asks who is dad is. Sonia says it's better he doesn't know and that Borlas shouldn't go looking for answers.
The Doctor in charge of Isa's care (Dr. Santa) continues his online research of Casa Arte. It's the second time Isa was telling the truth!
Bruno and Gabriela (Gabi) are both at the restaurant. Bruno tells Gabi that Ally asked him to meet her there because she had something important to tell him. He tries to call her, but she doesn't pick up. Gabi thinks it was all planned.
Dafne (The Duck) tells Lucha to pack a bigger bag since she's still undecided about what she'll wear. Esteban can carry it. NEXT!

Nadia goes to earn some cheese while everyone else drinks wine: lo que la Vida me Robo Epi 122 05/1/2014
I over slept this morning but the recap is finally done, enjoy!
Refugio, you are an epic punk
We start tonight's show in Agua Azul, Refugio and Esmeralda are waiting for Montse and Jose Luis to join them for diner, Esme looks better but sadly she's stuck with her dreadful husband who can't even be bothered to listen to her while she speaks, he gives her a lame excuse about being worried about work and we know that Esmeralda is not buying it, finally Montse and Jose Luis arrive and thank god they did because watching the interaction between Esme and Refugio was painful! Oh but things don't get any better, Montse tries to break the ice and says that she believes that there's a lot of truth behind people saying that pregnant women are always stunning and beautiful and that Esmeralda looks great, Jose Luis agrees and things get mighty uncomfortable when all Refugio can say about his wife is "yeah she looks pretty." Someone call a divorce lawyer.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #39- Thu 5/1
"Pues…de que prende, prende!"
Eleazar plays along, saying of course he's not in love with Carmen…as if! He doesn't join in on Luz's hysterical laughter. He's not thrilled to hear that Luz encouraged Chato to have Carmen make an honest man out of him.
Paolo, Abdul, and Lupita are ready to head out for the day. Carmen has an exciting day of cleaning planned, so she doesn't go with them.
Natalia visits Angela at the Good Vibes kiosk. She fills her in about the baby being Diego's, then runs off to meet him elsewhere in the mall. He brought her a stuffed bear. Which is cute. But it would be cuter if he wasn't married with a kid on the way.
Carmen got stuck taking an unintentional cold shower. As she shivers and shuffles out to the living room in a towel, someone knocks on the door. She answers it, thinking it's the kids, but unfortunately, it's Chato. She goes to get dressed and trips on the towel. Chato's response: "Oh, please, hit me! With both hands, so the towel falls again!" When Carmen finally re-emerges, fully dressed, I ignore all his incoherent quasi-romantic babbling. And then he asks her to marry him.

Hola, Amiguis! I have been under the weather since last weekend but I am feeling a bit better.This recap will be short and bulleted so to speak. If I miss something, please add/correct. I have an earworm for you and it's especially for MA and Lupe, What About Love? Shall we begin?
Agt Jen Gomez (Agent Jennifer Gomez) is wanting to talk to Ahole (Alejo) she has some questions for him as both Ahole and Vilma sweat. Ahole is blaming everything on MA of course. Oh, and he went to Italia have they contacted Interpol into his whereabouts? Agt Jen thinks that the familia is living in a hotel in Italia. She'll get right on that, takes candy from Ahole's desk and ends up spilling most of it on his desk.

The past
The witch doctor slithered in Art's bedroom to remember the old times, suck face and do the horizontal mambo.
The present
Her dress came off with one movement and they sucked face some more. Stupid Art is completely under the witch doctor's spell.
GIl
lets Cuca know that Borlas is Sucia's son. How ironic. Dan wants to
have a family dinner with Mari and Dan to let them know about Borlas.
Dan
asks Borlas about the test, he thinks that he passed thanks to Ileane.
He shares that he is in love with Ileana while she thought bubbles
about almost kissing him. She doesnt want to be too confident and think
that they are more than friends. Borlas is not confident enough to ask
Ileana if she feels the same. She is high class and he has a "little
thug in him" and he's from the hood. Some girls like a bad boy, oops, I

Qué Pobres Tan Ricos April 30: your blog mom gets her feet wet dipping back into the delicious waters of the surreal landscape of the telenovela world.
Hello friends, it's been what, two years since I watched a single episode of one of our shows? I got my son to show me how to record Que Pobres (because I can't stay up that late for recapping) and I'm going to try to come on board as your Wednesday recapper. I haven't watched a single episode of this show before but I think there was a lot of refrito in this episode so it was a good one to start with. Or (it just occurs to me) did somebody recap this yesterday? Oh well, here it is anyway.
Nepo is good at convincing Wendy, with a combination of bluster and puppy dog eyes, that she should tell him who Lupita's new admirer is. He thinks it is Don Alejo. She confidently swears it's not, but he realizes she knows the identity of the actual pretender to the throne. Not a very good prevaricator, she names an "Angeles Palacios." He wants to call the RP editorial offices but doesn't. "Get a gypsy to read the cards and tell you what you want to know." They take this discussion to the street. She reminds him he could find somebody else (perhaps herself) who would love him even though he's such a brute. Also PSA: the fact he loves Lupita does not give him any rights over her.
Alejo meets his son at school. I think he won't tell Maxi his name. The kid asks "Why did you never look for me before?" "Your mother never told me, she was jealous, it wasn't my fault. But now, you have to trust me. Here's your new cellphone, I am #1 on the speed dial, #1 is me, PAPA. Don't tell your mother."

When the money starts to run out your friends might consider pulling the plug: Lo Que la Vida me Robo Epi 121. 04/30/14
Hello fellow Caray Caray mates, tonight you will get a quick recap from me but I hope to be able to cover everything you need to know, here we go:
Puppy Lake is calling....
We are transported to Argentina, where we see a cute little girl named Victoria getting juice for her parents-Nadia and Victor, both survived the plane crash and although Victor seems fine we realize that poor Nadia lost her sight in the accident-which is a small price to pay in order to be away from her bat shit crazy husband. Victoria wakes her parents up at six am in the morning, and friends I think that any child that wakes anyone up at that hour of the day is just asking to be put up for adoption. The happy family gets ready to start the day and Victor tells Nadia that he is going to the hospital to see Alejandro and asks if she would like to join him-Nadia says she will tag along and they make plans to go after Victoria is in school.
Once they arrive in the hospital Alejandro's doctor approaches them and tells them that they have a serious problem that needs to be discussed. We later learn that the money that has been paying for Alejandro's treatment has started to run out-the hospital is requesting that they pay three months worth of treatment up front and neither Victor nor Nadia have any idea how they will come up with the cash. Victor is making only enough money to pay for their rent and for Victoria's school tuition, even with the little that Nadia brings in from teaching music classes things are tight, one day of treatment would cost them a month's wages, the only solution they can come up with is for Victor to ask for a loan at his job.

Qué Pobres, Weds 4/30/14 (#82): Daddy Issues. The Big Book. Blind Man's Bluff.
Miguel Angelo (MA) and Saul and Tomás
MA meets with Saul at their new hangout, the Popular Café. Saul has the paperwork for the house, as well as the "proof" Mini found earlier on Ahole. MA explains that he's giving the house to the Menchacas because it was his mother who stole the 300 thousand pesos. (He didn't tell Saul that before?)
MA tells Saul he's sure that Bambi hasn't incriminated him. Bambi wasn't even sure who he was. Ah, here comes Tomás. Saul is miffed to have been replaced by what he assumes is a backward, inexperienced youngster and tries to intimidate him: not all of these documents are in Spanish, so you won't understand them. Some of the files are encrypted. Etc. Tom says that's no problem. He's got resources, all kinds of people to help him, including a really good hacker. Ha!
Saul warns MA that once the Menchacas get the deed to the house, they'll kick the rest of the RPs out.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #38- Mon 4/30
De que se emborrachó, se emborrachó
Yep, it's true…Karina is, in fact, working at the Coffee Shop Company. And not getting fired, at least for now. She offers Alonso a freebie with his coffee and he accepts a "cuernito" (horn…either a croissant or a horn-shaped pan dulce with lots of sugar on it).
Diego swears to Natalia that he really hasn't been with Diana since he realized Natalia was the love of his life. Natalia believes him, but she's still worried about the baby. They both agree they want to spend the rest of their lives together and smooch on it.
Diana's clothes don't fit and she blames the baby. She summons Hilda and asks her to get bandages. She refuses to buy maternity clothes and swears she'll hide her belly until she gives birth. "But what if it's bad for the baby?" Hilda asks. As if Diana would care about that.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #105 (Mexico #144)- 4/30/14- Did I Say That? Did I Do That? You Want to Do What?
The past-
Dan and Agatha are searching for the church where Sucia left
her baby, Feo is still plotting, Dr. Santa (thanks Corazon) watches Isa's visit
with Feo and the Duck (thanks tofie) is still pretending that she can't waddle.
The present-
The Duck is still pretending and feigns embarrassment but
she is using her wheelchair to keep Este.
Miraculously Gil and Agatha encounter a priest, who was a
seminary student at the time but vividly remembers a baby being drooped
off wrapped in a blue blanket with tassels (Borlas). The baby was taken
to an orphanage and the resourceful priest recalled the name.

Que pobres tan ricos #81 Tue 29 Apr 2014 Of different ways men try to get attention from 'their' women
Nina fresa tv reporter (Valeria) leaves Bambi a voice mail saying farewell, thanks for everything… bye!!
Outside, MA has to deal with the police, during the pursuit the girl cop gets a good look at MA. They all are driving on reverse LOL!
At fonda, Leo and AS… she is in la-la land, he would pay 64K pennies for her thoughts. Frida comments that AS has not spoken for quite a while. Leo makes a snarty comment to Frida, and Mati rants at him about enjoying offending others. Leo defends himself, his only vice is art… AS has had enough arguments around her, can’t think with cold head. Mati adds ‘sonar no cuesta nada’ (dreams don’t cost a thing)… instead of thinking of something useful, you are delirious. Mati wonders where MA is… AS has no clue but she is glad he is away from Lupe. Mati gets irritated and leaves her.
The cops lost trace of MA. They argue among themselves. Anyone could be Bambi’s accomplice by now.
Alejo faces the board again… They say: ‘time is running and you have not fulfilled the clause of Don Aureliano. Maybe MA has been busy doing something to that effect and we don’t know it. Even if he is out of the country, he is still in the race.’ Alejo reminds them MA is a runaway from police. If he were expecting a child it would take months. You all don’t have to worry about it. Very soon you will get great news, which will convince you all that I will be the next great president of Editorial RP.
MA returns the car to Tomas. Thank you. I lost another chance to prove my innocence. Tomas is more worried that the cops recognized him. MA is confident they could not with his hat and sunglasses. Tomas still worried. Tomas says keep poking Saul about the Menchaca’s deed papers.
Bambi and his aunt get arrested. They argue with each other as they are put in different cop cars. He would rather go to jail than continue living with her. The couple cops come to question Bambi, but he just yells at them that he has no clue what they are asking, this is just a no-good guy he hired to be his driver.
Carm and Lupe, all Carm heard was that the nephew was a thug and they all got arrested. Lupe is glad that MA was not involved. Carm says MA is no thug, the one they arrested was. Lupe concerned that all the cops in the neighborhood will recognize MA and take him away. Lupe catches herself worrying about MA and says ‘whatever happens to him is not my business’. Carm says go preach that to someone who does not know you better. Lupe leaves to go pick up Emiliano.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #104 (Mex #143) 4/29/14- Seriously?
RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:
We begin with Dena in a cute blue cropped-jacket and her purple eye-shadow going to tell off Gabs. Gabs clears her name and Den walks off with an "This isn't over yet" look.
FeVer is being himself as usual and spewing all his venom in Isabel's face while the doctors in the room wistfully stand there oblivious to the infamy confessed and threatened by the devil's ballsac. How do they not hear what that human scrotum is saying and the ONLY time they intervene is when Isa is administering a long overdue yet futile whooping all over FeVer!
Mao is with the police and aome diarrhea has hit the fan; FeVer's deletion of the prison records is now noted!

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 120, Tues. 4/29/14: Get Back
or:
...what once belonged to you?
Graciela and José Luis aren't listening to each other. (So what else is new?)
She's going to help him whether he likes it or not. And he's so arrogant he thinks that by telling her not to interfere -- by paying her not to interfere -- she'll sit on her hands.
[Oh this is not going to end well.]
A glimpse of La Casa Rosada, Argentina's elegant pink presidential palace.
The scene has shifted to Buenos Aires. We are in a modern hospital room where Alejandro lies perfectly still, surrounded by monitors, an oxygen mask not quite obscuring his perfect features, his golden head crowned by a helmet of electrodes. A nurse, clearly fond of her patient and not indifferent to his beauty, addresses him as Alejandro and cheerily undertakes his leg massages and exercises.
[Alejandro is not in a coma -- he is under a magical spell.]

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #36 4/29/14
What started out as a tickle in my throat has quickly devolved into TB (that might be a minor exaggeration.) So anyhoo. I paid attention as best I could and took pitiful notes and the recap might have some holes in it.
Grandfather Vicente (Grumps) dips into the reading material Al left and begins to think about Rod. That can't be a life. Grumps would rather he be dead than hooked up to wires and possibly suffering. He asks Rosa what she would do.
Rodrigo's (Rod's) nurse continues to swoon and thinks she's falling in love. In his head, Rod wakes up (all white set=comaland) and hears the nurse.
Diego tells Diana she'll be submitting to a DNA test the next day...at a lab of his choosing!
Alonso (Al) has followed Irene to Caprico. He apologizes and plants a wet one on her. Irene rejects him. Eleazar (El) is dropping Natalia (Nat) off at Caprico. The 2 love-sick amigos decide to grab a drink.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #103 (Mex #142) 4/28/14 The Alliance from Hell
We have had such a great discussion going on in the comments about the men in this telenovela. There seems to be unanimous agreement that Arturo is the worst galan ever and the rest of the men (with the exception of Mauricio and perhaps Fabricio) are selfish wimps who are dumber than dryer lint. None of our female commenters would ever want to be stuck with Arturo and we don't want Isabel to be stuck with him either.
What has happened to the men in telenovelas? Maybe it's a reflection of what is happening to men in our society. The following paragraphs are taken from an article titled "Camille Paglia: A Feminist Defense of Masculine Virtues" published in the Wall Street Journal in Dec. 2013.
"What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia. ...her indictment may be as surprising as it is wide-ranging ... But no subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society's attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization.
... Ms. Paglia argues that the softening of modern American society begins as early as kindergarten. "Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys," she says, pointing to the most obvious example: the way many schools have cut recess. "They're making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters."

Qué Pobres, Lunes 4/28/14 (#80): Bambi and the Bimbo
I've been out of the loop for about a week, and am behind on reading recaps and comments, so please forgive me if some of this is a rerun:
Alejo (Ahole) wants to give Emiliano his name. He reminds Lupita that he has every right to be in Emil's life. Lupita asks him to give her some time. ("I need some time" appears to be the only strategy in her repertoire for dealing with difficult situations. Not that I have a better suggestion.)

Drunker than ever, AS assures MA she'll pay back the money she stole from the Menchacas. She tells Chuy she'll pay every cent after Leo gets married.

One of his divorce clients got a car from his wife as part of his settlement, and he owes Tomas a favor. Wow! Tomas must be really good. Someday he will be able to buy a suit that fits him.

Alejo (Ahole) wants to give Emiliano his name. He reminds Lupita that he has every right to be in Emil's life. Lupita asks him to give her some time. ("I need some time" appears to be the only strategy in her repertoire for dealing with difficult situations. Not that I have a better suggestion.) She asks Ahole to give her and Emiliano some space while she comes to terms with this.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #36- Mon 4/28
De que el amor no tiene edad, el amor no tiene edad
Luz agrees to babysit Chato.
Diego brings Natalia a giant greeting card. AT WORK?! Dude…what are you thinking? Discretion is the better part of a smooth divorce.
Rosa escorts Vicente down to his home office and gets him to hang out on the couch while she does the actual searching for info on the computer. Vicente starts looking through the books Irene left there last night.
Alberto shows up to see Diego and hears some mushy talk via the speakerphone. Maybe Alberto can talk some sense into him. Alberto tells him that Diana only has another 24 hours to "prove" his infidelity. Diego says that's no problem, since he and Natalia have decided not to have a relationship until the divorce is final. Clearly that doesn't mean the same thing to him as it does to me. He's grumpy about Brigitte knowing his personal bidness, but Alberto says she didn't find out from him. Speaking of people who need some sense talked into them….
Eleazar and Paolo talk about Chato…specifically about being suspicious about him.
Chato is enjoying Luz's cooking. He tries to pump Luz for information about Lupita so he can figure out how he can win her over. Well, Chato, it's not difficult. You just have to be a decent guy.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 4/28/14 # 119
Chapter
119: Bitter Memories
Ligera
Tentación: José Luis walked into the nightclub
bakery just at closing time, staring at his one-time love after
almost seven years of staring at stone walls. She was exactly as he
remembered her, light blonde with eyes like sapphires and a figure
that could stop traffic.
“I'd
like some coffee, please, and cake... can you tell me what's the
specialty of the house?”
Monserrat
looked up in surprise. She had not expected to see him. “You look
different.”
“Yes.
It's been a long time. You are still beautiful, Monserrat.”
She
was obviously uncomfortable as she asked “What do you want, José
Luis?” She then looked down at the books she was looking to close
out for the day.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #35- Fri 4/25
De que le salió el tiro por la culata, salió el tiro por la culata
Natalia way too politely asks Brigitte why she bad-mouthed her to Irene. Brigitte tries to act like Irene just misinterpreted what she said, but Natalia doesn't believe that. She points out that the only one Brigitte's making look bad is herself. Carmen listens in as Brigitte tells Natalia she was wrong to tell her to wait for an appointment because Irene just luuuuurved her designs. Carmen comes out from the doorway to tell the girls that Irene is doing nothing but causing problems between them and Natalia had better be as careful about Irene as she is about Diego. She then asks Brigitte why the heck, if she's so upset with Natalia's behavior, she would go try to get a job at the same place she works. "Because I wanted to. Just like you, letting Chato into our house." Carmen looks hurt as Abdul tiredly rubs his eyes.
Rodrigo's doctor believes the longer the coma lasts, the less chance Rodrigo's going to come out of it and the greater the risk that if he does, it's going to be with some serious mental deficits. Alonso brings up the possibility of deep brain stimulation therapy, but the doc says they tried it six months ago and it had no effect. Diego refuses to do anything that will lead to his brother's death and Irene agrees. Alonso says he loves Rodrigo as much as either of them, but he's more inclined to agree with the doctor. Diego storms out of the room.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 118, Friday, 4/25/14: Aguazuleño Alumni Updates -- Special Year Seven Edition.
We are delighted that so many aguazuleños returned the questionnaires we sent out in anticipation of our Seventh Year Class Reunion. No one's life has stood still -- no surprise there! -- but color us IMPRESSED by all you have been up to!
Before we give you the scoop, let's take a moment to reflect on some of the souls we lost seven years ago:
--Angélica Arechiga died in the arms of her beloved José Luis.
--The galán formerly known as Alejandro Almonte and his friends Victor Hernández and Nadia Argüelles and their unborn child -- all presumed dead after a plane crash, though their bodies were never recovered.
--The good father Anselmo who disappeared under murky circumstances and whose body has also never been found.
-- Lic. Cervera, life-long legal counsel to the Almonte family who, along with all his records and files, perished in a tragic fire just at the time that the legitimacy of Alejandro's inheritance was being challenged in court.
-- Josefina Valverde, who, while still among the living (we hope), moved away from Aguazul and never looked back.

Que pobres tan ricos #79, Apr 25 2014; The S hits the F... and MA could have taken an overdose of nobility and honesty first thing, maybe he could bottle it '5 hr nobility/honesty'
Mini insults Saul (no tienes familia ni perro que les ladre) and then asks if he remembers the date of Aureliano’s death… Saul responds even if he has no family or dog to bark at him or cat to meow at him, he won’t get in her personal issues. Quedo de Usted, atentamente, Saul Ballesteros.
MA and Frida are still trying to make AS come to her senses… Lupe knocks on window and gets MA to follow her down. Leo asks ‘in what moment our nice dolce vita turned into a horror movie?
Lupe: You knew what that money meant to us! Know how we indebted outselves to get it! You swore to me that you and your family had nothing to do!
(MA tries to get her to understand when he made that swearing statement he had no clue).
Mati asks MA to let Lupe go and wait a while… you might think it is ‘cosas de vieja’ but I know my story.
Bambi and the reporter on phone again. They are dying to see each other but she is still reluctant to meet with him. HE demands they meet. Have you heard about Giron? Nothing but I am still working on it. Alright, talk to you later.. kisses.
MA and Mati, he swears he does not want to harm Lupe. On the contrary, he loves her. Mati says the years she has lived have served her to get to know people. When someone is as angry as Lupita, give them time and space. Aureliano and I did have our arguments from time to time. We learned to get to know each other, we knew when the other was happy or angry. And when it was time to talk or time to be quiet. Our arguments were never public but we were always honest with each other. The private reconcilations were the best!!

Por Siempre Mi Amor #102 (Mexico #141)- ¿Yo fui la que hizo este lío?/ Solo vine a hablar por teléfono
Tonight's title is inspired by Cuca and the avances. In light of his recent death, it is really creepy how much Isa's story is starting to look like the Gabriel García Márquez story (scroll down for the quick synopsis.)
I'm jumping right in to the "new." I tried to keep it brief, but oh my these últimos capítulos are chock full o' fun!
Isabel clocks Fernando (Feo) and runs...to the bedroom (Your purse! Ay Dio mio!™ TabletJefa) Feo follows, grabs her by the neck and tells her she's not leaving. Meanwhile, Gabriela (Gabi) is re-dialing, but she gets the "fuera del área de servicio" message.
Marianela (Mari) wants to know why Sonia would do such a thing as abandon her. Dan explains Sonia was a lying liar who lied to her husband. He didn't tell her because he didn't want her hurt. He's finally coming clean because Gil found out. He and Sonia are coming to Tita's to clear things up. Dan wanted to be the one to tell her first. Mari wonders if Sonia will claim her. Dan doubts it. She wasn't exactly running to be a good mom.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 117 - Time Jump! We Just Gained Half a Decade and Fabiola Still has Bad Hair - 4/24/14
Amalia Has Juice With the
King of Darkness
Amalia admits to Pedro that
she used to doubt Alejandro’s character. He appeared out of nowhere and then he
was Benjamin’s heir. Of course she doubted him, but Joaquin came to speak of
Alejandro as a great man.
Pedro plants the idea in Amelia’s
mind that Joaquin began to speak well of Ale after they went into business
together. Amalia says she, knows nothing. She was married to a man for years that
hoodwinked her. Now she reiterates her dismay at finding that Joaquin did
attend Angelica’s wedding to Jose Luis, but secretly, with a plan to
assassinate his son-in-law at the alter. What kind of a monster did she marry?
Pedro fuels her distress by eying that Alejandro was doing Joaquin’s dirty
works when, later, on the beach he shot and tried till kill JL in their
ill-fated duel. Pedro opines that life is fair, in the end. Alejandro and
Joaquin both got what was coming to them.
Now that Angelica is dead, Amelia’s
reason for living is gone. It sounds like she needs to figure out who she is.
Hopefully she will remember that she still has another kid to come into
relationship with, suggests Pedro. This is the first piece of good advice I
have heard him offer on the show.
He takes Amelia’s hand, and
complains about his own terrible loss of Nadia and the child.

Oh amigas/os, woe as me. I get the episode where the antics of three icky characters seem to wretch havoc and not a lot of the great light moments we’ve come to enjoy. I apologize as this is longer than I expected and please let me know if I missed anything. Let’s go.
Natalia and Diego are explaining why they were so late when her evil sister states that Diego should run along to his wife. Naturally things go downhill for Nat from there (while the Brat enjoys humiliating her mother’s favorite). Nat does tell her Mom know she loves Diego but her Mom calls her a home wrecker. Later, the Brat kisses up to Carmen and its quite sickening. You know in the next breath she’ll demand Nat help to get a job at Caprico or bash her for something else.

Lo que la Vida me Robo #116, 4/23/14: The plane crashed. There are no survivors.
I'm just going to jump in and get this over with, recapping this one was zero fun *sad, salty tears*
I hate these three:
We start tonight's episode with Pedro 'no nuts Medina', Fabiola "boozy" Guillen and Sandro whose last name i can't be bothered to learn, sitting in the living room of Amalias home plotting away when Pedro gets a call from Ezequiel, he is informed that Alejandro Almonte managed to escape, the police got to the airport too late to stop him, Pedro wants to know who else was in the aircraft and EZ breaks the bad news to him, Nadia and Victor were also on the plane. Pedro becomes enraged, "you mean to tell me that my slut of a wife and that dog she kept as her lover managed to escape?!" "Yep" replies EZ, and I did a little dance cause not only does he have no balls, but now he has no wife, and in the words of Nelson from the Simpsons all I think of is "haha" and "it sucks to be you Medina!".
Agua Azul Hospital
We now go to the hospital where Montserrat is recovering after having surgery, she thinks that Jose Luis shot her and her brother quickly tells her that that was not the case, all Jose Luis wanted to do was protect her, sadly he got there too late. Montserrat is also worried about her husband whom no one has been able to contact, Graciela takes this opportunity to say that Alejandro ran away and left her behind (witch,witch,witch!!!), thank goodness that Dimitrio is there to set the record straight, he tells Montse that there was a warrant out for Alejandro-he was accused of killing his father and had to run away to avoid being arrested, man Montse can't win, first she gets shot and then her husband has to flee with out her AND she has Graciela as a mother. Life is so unfair. Ahem, sorry, got distracted there for a bit, back to our story, tia Carlota says her goodbyes to Montse, she wants to go back home to look after the baby and Graciela also excuses herself, she probably has to go to the town orphanage to set orphans on fire, or maybe the local animal rescue to kill kittens. Dimitrio stays behind with his sister and I'm so proud of him *sniff,sniff*.

Que pobres tan ricos #76 22 Apr 2014. The band is a hit, Perla hits DA with a kiss, and Don Chuy goes beserk with the news that Lupe and MA are a couple..Subtitle: Al que no quiere caldo... le dan dos tazas
Lupita happy, tells Chuy it is true, she is in love with someone.
At Mercado, MA is handing Dona Queta a banana. She tells him she wants someone to drive her around the next week to do some errands. He offers his services. Trust me. She is speechless, eating the banana.
Back to the Fonda. Chuy grabs Lupe's hand and swears he would never put walls between Lupe and whoever she wants to be with. He wants to meet the guy. Lupe says you know him… (is it that old guy who lives with his mom around the corner?) Lupe tells him he lives here in the barrio, as a matter of fact, he is here in the house. Who is it? MA… (Chuy takes his hand back, stands up… )
L: What are you going to do?
C: I am going after that guy, going to put the cards on the table… I did not help you make it and watch you get your life back together… only for that guy to come and… Can’t believe you fell on the trap again…
L: No, it is not a trap. Noone is deceiving me. MA is not Alejo.
C: They are same family, same genes, same family tree, share the same bathroom, the same jocks (ok, i am going overboard here, you get the drift), … He is a criminal!.
L: He is no criminal!.
C: Now I get why you defended him so much. But I am going to find him right now and speak to that miserable guy…
L: You are not going anywhere, papa! And please forgive me for speaking to you in this tone!
Trofeo arrives at Lupe’s house, Mati opens the door. "Lupe is not here, went who knows where, with who knows who? And who knows what time she will be back." (Trofeo leaves the envelope with Mati). "What do I do with this letter now?"
Back to Chuy and Lupe...
L: I don’t want to argue with you. I want you to understand me. I want you to tell me the nice things you just did tell me a while ago.
C: I wish I could. But I just remember the day you came home crying desperately because that guy had deceived you. And I won’t let it happen again to you.
L: It won’t happen.
C: Know what? I can’t talk to you right now.

Back to the Fonda. Chuy grabs Lupe's hand and swears he would never put walls between Lupe and whoever she wants to be with. He wants to meet the guy. Lupe says you know him… (is it that old guy who lives with his mom around the corner?) Lupe tells him he lives here in the barrio, as a matter of fact, he is here in the house. Who is it? MA… (Chuy takes his hand back, stands up… )
L: What are you going to do?
C: I am going after that guy, going to put the cards on the table… I did not help you make it and watch you get your life back together… only for that guy to come and… Can’t believe you fell on the trap again…
L: No, it is not a trap. Noone is deceiving me. MA is not Alejo.
C: They are same family, same genes, same family tree, share the same bathroom, the same jocks (ok, i am going overboard here, you get the drift), … He is a criminal!.
L: He is no criminal!.
C: Now I get why you defended him so much. But I am going to find him right now and speak to that miserable guy…
L: You are not going anywhere, papa! And please forgive me for speaking to you in this tone!
Trofeo arrives at Lupe’s house, Mati opens the door. "Lupe is not here, went who knows where, with who knows who? And who knows what time she will be back." (Trofeo leaves the envelope with Mati). "What do I do with this letter now?"
Back to Chuy and Lupe...
L: I don’t want to argue with you. I want you to understand me. I want you to tell me the nice things you just did tell me a while ago.
C: I wish I could. But I just remember the day you came home crying desperately because that guy had deceived you. And I won’t let it happen again to you.
L: It won’t happen.
C: Know what? I can’t talk to you right now.
(he leaves, she cries)

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #31- Mon 4/21
De que el arroz fue la unica cosa tumbada esta noche, fue la unica cosa tumbada esta noche
Natalia tries to talk to Diego, but he brushes her off, since it's "strictly professional" between them, so what could there be to talk about?
Rosa loves the idea of the clothing line, but she knows Vicente doesn't. She laughs to hear that he hasn't heard about it yet. She's happy to see Irene so happy.
Karina is so grumpy, she can't finish her cereal. Diana is so hungry she finishes it off for her. Karina wasn't kidding about that being the last food in the house. "And if I don't get a job today…." She encourages Diana to start looking for a job too, but Diana says "I wasn't born to work!" Well, whatever…Karina has an interview to get to.
Rosa and Irene bump into Natalia, who is less perky and polite than usual. Irene knows she's not usually like that and Rosa takes her word for it. "Is it just me, or was she crying?" Irene says something must have happened.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó #114, Lunes 4/21/14
A
Foreword from Edith Wharton
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
It
has thus far been my peculiar pleasure to guide you through the
social quagmire of Aguazul. In the process we have identified the
genuinely noble members of our society, those who only present
themselves as such (with varying levels of success), and the
demi-monde, the one set that never deceives itself about what it is
or can be. Sadly, their honest ways have had no effect on those who
present a face to the world so false that the most observant of us
are obliged to look for the degradation it hides.
Since
our tale has taken a path away from the masquerades of drawing rooms
and the minuets of manners, it would be foolhardy of me to lead where
I dare not follow. While I am infinitely familiar with even the most
naked greed the world of cynicism, corruption, and brutality requires
a guide with greater knowledge than mine and a manner more direct
than I am accustomed to assuming.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #113: 4/18/14: It's All About Graceless' Wants!
Ahoy Amiguis! I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter and Passover. This recap is on the fly, so please correct/add anything I happened to miss. I am skipping the old and starting with the new. Oh, for my count of the missing Padre, this is day eight of the missing Curia. Shall we start with an earworm? Y'all just know I have one or two every recap I do. This one is dedicated to Graceless of course, cause this episode was full of her, er herself shall we say, and here it is for your listening pleasure: Heartless!
Graceless has continued her trumped up testimony and that Judge is just eating it up. Graceless says one of his peons, she doesn't now if it was Ale for sure, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, but he was being drugged or something, and she thought she'd let the judge know that cause of the exhumation. The Judge wants to know why she didn't take Don Benny to a hospital? Well, the Padre didn't approve you see, she was a married woman, and had been Don Benny's lova all those years, can you imagine the scandal? Her prestige, cough, cough, was on the line here. Besides that "bastardo" married her daughter Monse for goodness sake.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #30- Fri 4/18
"De que trabajo en Caprico, trabajo en Caprico"
Diego tells Irene about how he really felt like Rodrigo was there, listening to him, and how much he misses him. *drink* He's hoping this is a sign that he's recovering. Irene encourages him not to get his hopes up. They change the subject to the need for a DNA test on Diana's baby and start researching on the Internet.
Brigitte gets Natalia's work number from Carmen and calls to ask for an appointment with Irene. Natalia tells her it's way too early for that--they don't even know if they're going to go forward with the clothing line yet. Brigitte complains to Carmen that Natalia's just being selfish. She's determined to get a job at Caprico (hence the title).
Irma the nurse would totally be putting the moves on Rodrigo if he were conscious. She settles for putting him through some passive stretches.
Irene and Diego start calling labs to ask what exactly a DNA test entails and how long it takes. The first lab tells Diego it takes a week and he flips.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon Awaits!
Karmageddon
in Por Siempre Mi Amor
OK, with
17 or 18 hours to go on this story, it's time for this all-important
discussion. The villains in this tale are some of the vilest
excuses for human beings we've seen to date, so this will be lively.
As in a
previous discussion on another series, this will be a two-part
question:
- What fate do you think they deserve?
- What do you think the writers will do to these perverse creatures?

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #112, 4/17/14: Nadia Escapes Pedro and Graciela Tells A Whopper
Prologue
The story you are about to read about is not true. No names
have been changed because there is not one innocent character on Lo Que La Vida
Me Robo, except maybe Baby Laurito. Given his family, I have eve my doubts about him.
This is the city, Aguazul, Campeche, MX. I work here: not
for much as it turns out, but it must be enough or I wouldn’t keep doing the
job. Praise does sometimes calm the ego’s insatiable need for fuel.
I am a
recapper.
Some might call me jaded. You will understand my cynicism
when I report that in the light of the last few weeks of unending violence and
gloom so little happened tonight that I could almost be cheerful.
Almost.
It’s not easy being a recapper. You don’t get a lot of
respect in this business. I mean, you sit down next to some good citizen on a
long haul flight, they eventually ask you what you do, and you smile and say,
“I spend several hours a week recapping Mexican soap operas. That is MY life.”
Do they smile in return and ask you to tell them more about
your fascinating job as a recapper? Do
you ever get a chance to discuss the value of long arc storytelling or whether
telenovelas reflect real trends in modern Mexican culture? Do you debate whether the Sopranos or Breaking Bad were telenovelas?

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #73: 4/17/14 : Suelta La Sopa, Por Favor!
Hola Mis Amguis! This recap is on the fly, so please fill in anything I missed/got wrong. I have an earworm that is perfecto for Ahole. Have a listen: You're So Vain!
Shall we begin? Lupe is cleaning the house and talking to MA. She keeps making him move so she can get the floor under his feet and he even adds more cleaner to her bucket. They are discussing when they should tell their families about them being an item, of course, and also Nepo. Well, MA wants to do it sooner rather than later, but Lupe wants him to wait some, cause of the fraud accusation and other things. Knocky, Knocky on the door and who is it? Special Delivery, of flowers, and what a nice arrangement it is too! Lupe accepts them and is so very happy MA got them for her, that she gives him lots of sugar, but the problem is MA didn't send her those flowers. Lupe thinks maybe Nepo sent them, and of course MA isn't happy over that, even though earlier he said Nepo was a nice guy.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #29- Thurs 4/17
De que abrió los ojos, abrió los ojos
Grumps is rudely awakened by Diana, come to complain that Diego never came home last night. Grumps thinks it's highly likely that Diego spent the night with "that woman," not that there's any reason to get all upset about it. He tells Diana not to worry her little head…Grumps will take care of it. "Now let me rest."
Diego's ready to go off half-cocked once he sees the video, but Irene tells him he needs to think first.
Vicente's old secretary stops by to visit and says such nice things about her old boss that you could knock Natalia over with a feather.
Diego is convinced that the baby is Oliverio's. He tells Alberto to rewrite the agreement and Alberto says he can now demand a divorce--Diana can't "refuse" to give him one, since she's a cheater, and Diego doesn't have to give her a damn thing! Diego calls the house and asks to speak to Diana. He tells her he's been thinking and asks her to met him for a coffee.
Eleazar comes by to pick up his "wife" and is alarmed to see that Carmen isn't ready to go yet. She fills him in on just how much work goes into getting the denizens of Garcia Central Station up and out the door every morning. They end up laughing over how they're arguing like a real married couple. It takes Carmen about two seconds to go to her room and throw on a fabulous dress, but she needs El's help zipping it up. And I'm sure he's thinking he'd rather be unzipping it, but hey, Lupita's expecting them.

Qué Pobres, Weds 4/16/14 (#72): He Hugged a Boy and He Liked It
Oh, man. This is painful. So much awesomeness to report; so little time. Most of this is from memory and I am paraphrasing like mad, so please don't hesitate to correct errors/omissions.
Diego calls Leo about his next art lesson. Leo hesitates. Diego suggests having the lesson at his place. Leo is afraid to go out on the street, but Diego offers to pick him up. Leo agrees; the things he'll do for the sake of art!
Leo comments on the decor at Diego & Nepo's house. (Sometimes a banana is just a banana, right? Right??) It's still super-naco, Leo says; just as tasteless as at the Menchacas', but he also observes that it's a better neighborhood and a nicer grade of hyper-naco stuff. Diego gets a kick out of the way Leo speaks, with everything being -uki and little sprinkles of English.
AS gives Perla an etiquette lesson. The topic: fancy dinners. Perla faces a dizzying array of plates, glasses, and cutlery. Everything she says and does is wrong, according to AS. Perla is overwhelmed, but motivated. AS thinks Perla also could use some lessons in "diction" because of the vulgar, common way she speaks. She urges Perla to encourage the rest of her family to take the lessons too, because (she's said this before to Carmelita) they could transform this greasy spoon restaurant into a fine dining destination. (Does AS really believe this transformation is possible, or is she just trying to entice them with something she thinks would interest them?)
