Hola Amiguis! We get an inkling of Pato's Plan, Greta is pithed, Irkme has had it, and Chava and Sofia get closer. Do you want to know more? Read on to get the rest of the story and here is a little earworm Wives and Lovers especially for Irkme.
Shall we begin?
In Bangkok, Thailand, Perlata is playing golf and is talking to Pato back in Mexico. He is under the impression that Pato has gotten rid of Coria the Maestro, and without a Maestro, Ripoll will fold. No more new recipes and that land will soon be in his hands, Bwhhhaaaaa! Peralta tells Pato, he will soon have his Distric Mangnus. Yeah, okay lets go with that or look at this picture. It's Perlata and Pato.
Peralta and Pato, si!
Alexa is in the backseat of that Mercedes and she's staying outside in the backseat for a while. This was her refuge when she was little and she found comfort there. Alexa wants to know what Armando thinks. Well, this will campaign will be in all the TV and Magazines.And besides, Actresses are always selling perfume and shampoo, famous ones at that. This might actually help her career. Alexa finally goes into the house and Greta asks about the limp. Alexa says she is okay and goes upstairs. She is really hobbling and wincing.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #35 León's secret is revealed, will there be Bodas Interruptus?
We begin where we left off yesterday, Diego is kissing Ana on the cheek with his back turned toward an open door as Fernando walks past and glances in. He pauses, thinks about what he’s seeing, it looks like it could be a kiss on the mouth, but realizes he has to move on, and moves on.
Ana finally pushes him away, happy? no he’d be more happy with (elbow jab, elbow jab) but she tells him he’s going to be late for his trip to... to Paris, he says, the city of love, and then on to Bombay. Now called Mumbai, get it right writers! He tells her he’s going to think about her the whole time he’s gone, then he’s gone. She thinks about that. Is she pleased about that? We can’t tell by her expression.
Jenny is recovering in the hospital and crying on Nico’s shoulder, not literally. She mourns the idea that she will never have a baby. Nico does his best to console her.
As Diego is leaving, he runs into Fer who is surprised he’s leaving, but he does seem to have a smile on his face. Diego tells him he’s going for 2 weeks and tells Bruno to take care of Anita. They leave together.

Weekend Discussion: What Are Novelas Teaching Viewers?
Some recent discussions are provoking this question. What are viewers learning from novelas and what are they meant to learn instead?
La Malquerida is treading into some dangerous territory regarding misogyny and incest, La Gata is perhaps more heavily into class-consciousness than any of the others, and Mi Corazon es Tuyo shows us a large family about to explode over a marriage contracted for the wrong reasons which will have a domino effect on everyone in the entire household. Since that series is popular in Mexico we can anticipate a long period during which a wicked stepmother will reign supreme over a previously controlling (but loving) father. Nothing new, but this will be the largest-scale example to date.
What effect do you think this has and what should be instead? Sound off, amigos.

La Maquerida #10, 9/5/14: Fake Courtships, Fantasy Lovers, and Really Real Marriages
Gloria has a busy weekend, so I am filling in for her today.
Read more »
El Refrito:
Luisa tells her Abuela Rosa that she’s going to school to
become a chef, and Cristina is paying for it, as long as Luisa gets good
grades. Granny blows a gasket, yells about the shame of asking la Patrona for a
handout, and forbids it!
Cris is feeling fine and frisky and tells bare-chested
Esteban that she wants to make love until dawn. He’s up for that, leans in for
a kiss, comes up for air, and sees step-daughter Acacia standing in front of
him instead of his wife!
Lo Nuevo:
After a few beats, and looking like he’s seen a ghost, Este
is seeing Cris again, but the mood has totally been killed. He begs off, saying
he’s tired. Cris takes him to the bed and gives his very tense back a massage.
Luisa explains to Granny that it’s not that she’s ashamed of
where she comes from, she just wants to improve herself. She has that right!
Granny agrees—but only if she works for it; not having people give it to her.
Luisa explains that she will work and pay Cris back once she starts her career.
Luisa wishes her parents hadn’t died, because she knows THEY would have
supported her. Grandma has heard enough. She slaps Luisa and stalks out of the
bedroom!
Luisa is a FAR better child than I am, because instead of
being ticked off, she finds Grandma in the kitchen, crying over her tea, and
apologizes for what she said. Grandma says she misses her daughter, who was
intelligent like Luisa and gave her lots of headaches, but also brought her
much joy. She explains that her fear is that Luisa is going to school for all
the wrong reasons—those reasons being Manuel “Manolo” Palacios, aka El Joven
Palacios. Luisa admits he is one of the reasons, but she’s mainly doing it for
herself. Grandma finally agrees to give Luisa her blessing, and the two hug it
out. Luisa begs her not to cry. Grandma says her tears are all she has left,
because she knows Luisa will eventually leave her (way to lay on the guilt
trip, Granny). Luisa assures her that even if she leaves, she will never stop
caring for her or loving her.
Acacia is visiting Alejandra in her new pad. They discuss
the Ulises-Manolo situation. Acacia feels torn because she loves Manolo, but
she’s IN LOVE with Ulises. Alejandra is sorry that Ulises turned out to be a
lying, violent bastard, like ALL men. Acacia doesn’t want to talk about it anymore,
so Ale asks about how things are going with her stepdad. Acacia happily reports
that things are going well. Ale is glad because she feels that Este is good peeps.
Acacia feels she needs to make the effort to get along with Este, because he’s
the perfect man for her mother…and an ideal father.

La Gata #5 - Friday 9/5/14 La Promesa
Parte 1
El Refrito
Read more »
El Refrito
- Los madres make plans for world domination
- El director will try to get El Silencioso's pardon.
- El Pablo loves La Gata.
Lo Nuevo
La Rita tells Jarocha that she found out La Gata can read and write. Jarocha does't see how that's a problem. Well Rita didn't take the kid in to act all finolis (hoity toity), she took her in so she could help. Jarocha gives Rita heck again for making Gata and Centavo go out and beg while she and Inesita live the life. Rita says Inesita was was born to study. That girls burns the midnight oil with her studying (hilariously rendered in Spanish as quemar las pestañas--to burn one's eyelashes.) Speaking of school, Inesita is home from said institution...before the dismissal apparently. Rita asks about her early arrival and Inesita explains she can't go back until Rita talks to the director. The teachers don't like her. They failed her in 5 subjects. They don't teach anything. (Yeah, we're purposely obtuse because we don't want anyone to learn and we live for parent conferences in which we are blamed for all the woes of the child.) Rita will go down to the school and give them a piece of her mind. Read more »

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #14: 9/4/14: Who Is Really In Charge At Ripoll?
Hola Amiguis! Who is really running Ripoll Chocolates you ask? I think I know, I have a Crack Pot Theory. Read on to find out. Here is a little earworm. Maneater
Shall we begin?
Lupe is teaching Marisol how to Tango. I loved that they used an old record. You can hear the scratches as it plays.
Alexa and Pato are discussing her money problems and the La Chica Ripoll revival. Alexa is of a mind not to do it, when her phone rings. She goes to the bathroom to answer and it's that darn Alan of course. He wants that money or he'll talk to Sofia. Alexa looks sick. We'll get back to her in a tic.
We left Sofia and Chava at the restaurant discussing his life. He tells her about how racing is his thing and he tells her about the day of the sabotage. He is so into it, he does the hand motions, like he is back to that day, in that smoking car. Sofia is transfixed. Chava tells her one day he will win the Cup for a race. Chava says their lives are so different, but filled with coindencidences.
Lucas is out with the bad dude watching in a car. A bidnez man has come to his car and the tire is flat. Lucas and that bad dude watch as the bidnez man, goes to the other side of the car and changes the tire. While he is doing that, Lucas opens the drivers side door, the guy doesn't see him and jacks his wallet and Lucas goes.
Armando is down with Mattias on the factory floor. Armando has one of those get ups on. Silviana see him and likes what she sees. She also likes his attitude.
Alexa is in the bathroom and is looking mighty ill. Silvana stops there and asks if she is okay. Alexa looks like she is having a panic attack. Alexa says she's fine. It seems that Alexa might be accepting Pato's offer. She goes looking for Armando.
Pato is in his office when Silvana turns up. He says he is a genious! This idea for the revival of La Chica Ripoll. Pato says he has the Ripoll family where he wants them. Does he remind you of anyone? How about Pinky and the Brain? Pato is Pinky and Silvana is the Brain. See you know how Keebler have those little elves. Well Ripoll is being taken over by Pinky and the Brain, jus' sayin'.
Pato and Silvana si?

The Enemy Advances
Cap 34
Ana forces Diego to retrieve her confession letter. “—You owe me! You OWE me!” He races into Fernando’s bedroom and grabs the paper out of his brother’s hands. I don’t want you to read this! It’s a letter asking forgiveness. I apologize for that with Ana in the library.” But Ferd really wants to read the letter. Di stuffs it into his mouth and eats it. Problem solved.
Diego races back to Ana’s bedroom and tells her mission accomplished. He gave his brother some cock-n-bull story and no, he didn’t have a chance to read the letter because his innards are digesting it as they speak. He ATE the thing! They grouse about whose fault it was until she tries kicking him out of her room so she can get to bed. He tells her she should be grateful and eventually show him how grateful—a good-night kiss would do for starters. She slams the door on him and he is totally smitten. He giggles to himself. “How adorable!”

La Gata #4 - Thu 9/4 - La Poesía
Pablo has a hard time capturing the special sparkle in Esmeralda's eyes with his mere mortal drawing skills. He agrees to let her have the picture and they awkwardly get back to the planned reading lesson for the day. He even cardboard sleds with her. Such is the power of her sparkly eyes.
El Silencioso hangs out in his spacious single cell and daydreams about running around with Erika Buenfil and snuggling with a little baby. He vows revenge, for his family.
Esmeralda continues struggling to read Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" while I frown in Pablo's general direction. She's still having trouble with the actual words…wouldn't something less abstract be easier? I can't find the section she's reading…something about spring arriving and soft breath…anyone know what it is?

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of September 1, 2014 - PAGE TWO
Hola Reinamaniacs, the Crockpot Theories™ are bubbling away with more than 140 comments for the first three capitulos of this week. So here is your page two. In response to Novelera's question on Page One, here is an updated list of Navier's perils to date. Enjoy the rest of this week!
The Perils of the Dragon or, It's Hard being Navier
shot twice in back on Victor's orders;
beaten by guards in prison;
knocked out when Reina was kidnapped;
shot in leg rescuing Reina w/fever complications;
shot (graze only) while in shower with Reina;
forcibly sedated on orders of Esmeeth;
knocked out by Izzy and pinned by falling beam in fire;
shot in shoulder by Fico;
poisoned by coffee laced with heart-attack flu virus;
involved in roll-over car crash (no injuries); and
shot by Reina but was wearing a bullet-proof vest - no injury
thrown out of window onto van
So the grand total of times Navier has been shot so far anyway is 5 if you count the graze in the shower! And never a scar to be seen on his lovely bod.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #13
Sofia is missing her shoe and Chava has a uh oh. He is scurrying and helping her look for it. They go to buy another pair of shoes in the interim.
Alexa and Greta have a heart to heart; Greta isn't clothes-minded. She was young once! Alexa lets it out that she is 6 months behind on her rent. Greta subtly blows a gasket and Alexa then says that is exactly why she didn't want to tell her. Alex says she has a lot to tell and it will never end; Greta can't help her. Alexa doesn't wanna face Sofia and ask for help monetarily.
Chava and Sofia talk about the call she made to him the other day; it was accident. Chava is OK with that since he was filled with glee and he is glad he met her.
Silvie was called in by Pat and she sees he has left info pertaining to the DNA test he has in store against Sofi. Silvie thinks Pat is behaving strangely when he gets a call from the mansion.
Sofi is in such a rush she opened the door herself and as she scurries off, Chava compliments her new shoes; he know he must find the missing shoe.
Over the phone, Greta is making a deal with Pat pertaining to Alexa.
Silvie is remembering that Pat and a stranger went to Maestro's house and knows something is up.
Alexa and Greta discuss their woes and such some more.
Fausto and Dani are discussing the woe of the stolen dress.
Lucas is playing the guitar when Miguelina come in and she asks about the wonderful job he said he had; you said things would be different! Miguelina has a Dona Mati and talks about how she is close to dying and he needs to be independent.
Chava drives around looking for the shoe; lo and behold, he found it? No, it's a dirty shoe he gallantly throws in the recycling bin.
Pat comes to Silvie and they discuss Alexa as the Chica Ripoll. Silvie claims she grew.
As he brings things in for her, Greta is lecturing Armie on art and she said art critics are boring. IrkMe has called him BUT he ignores it (who wouldn't?) and goes to bring more things upstairs.
Chava has successfully found the shoe!
IrkMe is angrily lamenting that Armie doesn't answer her calls. As he brings more packages, the phone rings and Greta says if he doesn't anwer the phone, someone is going to suffer an anxiety attack! He ignores it and Greta throws her 2 cents in; she says IrkMe must be demanding or jealous.
Sofi and Chava are a hoot once more.
IrkMe is leaving a message; forgive me babe.
Armie and Greta talk about how he isn't a cheater; Greta says he is a stand-up guy and Alexa is gorgeous. She can see why his wife would be jealous.
Chava lets a little white lie about how he found it; he was pricked by the heel while finding it in the car LOL.
Alexa asks Armie to take her to the Ripollery and he is skeptical at first but is reassured and happ to oblige.
Dani gets a call from Lucas and then a text; Risitas Hablamos. Fausto comes in stating dinner is ready. Would you like to eat downstairs or up? 'Niela asks Fausto for advice for a friend who is really her. Fausto recommends her "friend" help the boy and not to get mad if things don't work out because she is really trying to help him. He will bring her food up so her HomeWork groove isn't interrupted.
Lucas at work with his mobster boss.
Chava awaits outside for Sofi who is in a restaurant; she calls Chava to tell him to come in with her.
IrkMe sees Armie driving by with Alexa in the car. He helps her out and the sentimental music kicks in while Alexa walks into the Ripollery.
Matty catches Silvie and lets her know one of the machines is having difficulties when he is preempted by Alexa. Matty hits on Alexa and then he lets Silvie know about the machine for real this time and she says leave a memo; he gets a hit off of her sardonicism.
Chava is inside with Sofi since a woman and her baby didn't come in (I'm guessing Sofi is looking for a new Chica Ripoll.) He is about to leave because of the subtle discomfort when she pulls him in and tells him to stay.
Matty finds Armie and thanks him for taking him home. That's what friends are for. He lets Armie about the machine and La Chica Ripoll.
Alexa is in Pat's evil lair and they wheel and deal. I don't have a good feeling about this.
Chava and Sofi politely get their grub on and he is overwhelmed by the abundance of utensils. Sofi advises him the least used ones are for the appetizer and the most used are for the entrée. Eat calmly. Chava asks if she would like to talk about anything and Sofi says she would like to hear about his life.
Lupe is looking for a CD and exclaims to Marisol she has found it! With that CD she can make kids, adults and something I didn't catch dance! She busts a move and in a silly way gets down with Marsiol (after shaking her head back and forth.)
Pat is laying it on thick that Alexa is grown and blossomed now. She says La Chica Ripoll isn't in her anymore and receives a call; it's Alan and he is being a jerk saying if he doesn't receive the money they need, he will tell Sofi everything!
(End of Capitulo)
Avances-
Sofi and Chava talk some more and he claims they're from 2 different worlds.
Armie saves Lexi from killing herself but she twists her ankle.
Lucas tries to steal from Sofi when Chava is right there and tells him to let it go.
IrkMe yells at Armie for bringing Alexa home and curing her ankle.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo, # 33 03 Sep 2014 Diego gets the truth... Ximena gets a hug... IsaBruja gets a wedding gown and a nanny voo doo doll
Repeat of Fernando with his guilts, and Ana running after Diego; Diego angry as heck, but Ana convinces him to stay; Bruno’s rule ‘to live good, you better be quiet after seeing and listening… I am here for you, go ahead and let it go, open your heart’;
Fer: we have so much hidden anger, so many years, so many memories gathered since we were kids… and that which you know about, ended splitting us for good… of course I love my brother, it is not easy to admit that he has been away so long for my fault… you know Diego was always a free spirit, something neither my dad or I could understand.. (Bruno asks if they can accept him as he is now)
Diego tells Ana his story… since kids I was always compared to Fer… my dad was not like he is now.. he was strict, stubborn, very tough on me… Fer was always the boy scout, the one with perfect grades, my parents pride and joy… I was the rebel, the one that got suspended in school frequently, and when my mom died… my Don Nic Lasc found refuge in working… (Ana: and the story repeats itself, no?).. that is right… Fer took care of educating me and caring for me… but always scrutinizing me (senalandome).. I know he was doing it for my wellbeing, but I always felt belittled… until one day… I think the happiest day of my life… the most beautiful girl in the world… noticed me.. she noticed the imperfect one… she became my girlfriend… (where is she, Diego??) … she is in heaven, Ana… that woman…. Was Fanny, my brother’s wife… (no wonder you two had been separated for so long… and you said he took what you loved most?) Yes, and although relationships are for just two people… she chose him. My brother, Fernando, ended up the winner, as always. (Ana can’t believe Fer ‘took’ Diego’s girl).. Fanny was more than that, Ana.. She was the love of my life.
Fer continues his heart spill to Bruno…
Fer: I tried… I fought to rip that love from my heart… you know how much… but I couldn’t.
Dieg: I have never loved anyone like I loved her.
Bru: Estefania married you and gave you seven wonderful kids.
Fer: Yes, and… we destroyed Diego’s life.
Ana: Then Mrs Fanny…
Dieg: I made her a promise.
Lo Nuevo:
Ana thanks Diego for his honesty. He wants their relationship to begin with the truth. She has a double take… ‘our relationship?’ Diego insists that she should do the same and spill her soul to him. He would like to know what happened between her and Fer. She repeats, it was just a couple kiss and the typical story of the employee who falls for the boss… nothing really happened.
Nico arrives, and both Ana and Diego notice he is not well. He admits he needs them and tells them Jennifer broke up with him. He tells them Jennifer met another younger guy… Ana slips ‘that is not true’ but then backtracks her… The truth is Jennifer does care a whole lot about you. Diego agrees. Nico wonders what he will do without her.

German and Manuel are talking about Alejandra and how much German likes her, he really likes her.
Cris' parents come to see her in the hospital they are leaving a bit later but will spend the evening with her. Everyone has a problem. Juan Carlos has to attend to bidnez, so does Esteban and Cris wants Acacia to go with Esteban.

Diego's Deep Secret
[Eli's computer won't be up till later this week so this is bare bones. If someone has extra "meat" for the episodio I'll be happy to paste your post with it when I return this evening. --ed.]
• Fanny runs into Ana in the drive and informs her that DonFernando and Isabela’s wedding will be in three weeks. Ana re-enters the house and heads upstairs suffering a mild meltdown.
• Inside, a bit later, Fanny finds Tío Diego and Abuelo Nico looking at the basket of goodies that Isabellow’s naca mama, Yolanda, had sent over and has a belly laugh and a half. Nico admits to Diego that he's worried about his girlfriend--but that it's got nothing to do with his....um...virility.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #12 20140902 Twenty Women Compete for a Kiss from a Troll...I Didn't Know that this is a Science Fiction Novela
Chava and his mother are discussing Paco’s bad
attitude. Chava defends Paco and says
that he may have reasons for his disposition that they are not aware of. Chava tells his mother that he wants to
settle down and be faithful to one woman.
They are interrupted when he gets a phone call from Ceci.
Sophia lies on the couch with her head in Patricks’s lap (I
am going to move past this sentence quickly cuz’ there are so many places that
a mind can wander with it). Patrick rubs her head. Anyways, Sophia speaks of the red Book of
Secrets that is kept in the company safe.
Each year, Maestro transferred all of his recipes to it and burned the
previous year’s book. Patrick says that
Ripoll owes the company’s success to that book. Immediately after Sophia drifts off into a drug
induced sleep, Patrick gets down to work by plucking some of her hair out by
the root and places it in a baggie. With
this hair, I will soon have evidence that your mother was a tramp, says
Patrick to himself.

La Gata #2 Tuesday 9/2/14: La Pista Falsa
Right to the new!
Mariano (Pablo's brother) is going to the movies and he tells (not asks) mom to give him money. She's loaded! Mom says she's not made of money. He wouldn't have to beg for money for taxis if his mom would let his dad get him a car. The house has a chofer. "Yeah", the little twerp says "but he's always busy with the blind one or my brother." (Dude, that's your sister!) Little girl does't put up with crap. She'd rather be blind than a bad person like him. Go, girl!! Mariano wheedles--don't be coda (cheap), mom! He's got promises to keep. He asked this girl to the movies ....mil pesos should be enough. Mom comments that he's too young for cars and dates. She knows the movies don't cost that much. He wants to get the girl some ice cream, too. Mom mutters about her kids, one is spendthrift, one is caritativa (charitable) the other thinks he's St. Francis of Assisi. Next thing she knows he'll be filling the house with the gentuza (riff raff.)
Pablo calls Esmeralda a deer (gamo) because she slides so fast, but he has to explain the word. She kind of takes offense. He asks what he did and why she's mad. She tells him about his mom and how she treated her. Esmeralda explains that mom threatened to kick her off the property by force. Pablo is a little incredulous, but he agrees his mom was probably rude. Esme thinks his mom is a vieja estirada (stuck up old broad.....from last night's vocabulary.) Esmeralda tells Pablo his mother acts like poor people don't have the right to walk on the same ground she walks on. Pablo thinks Esme shouldn't think poorly of his mom. She's not that bad. Apparently he's the one who's blind. He doesn't think it's fair that Esme is mad at him for what his mother did. He says something about Rita. Esme thinks that's different because Rita is not her real mother. Esme doesn't have a mom, but she'd rather be alone than have a mom like his.

Hasta el Fin Del Mundo #11 9/1/14 Lies, Spies and Treachery
Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! The show is starting to heat up. Before we get started I have something just for Mads:
 |
I found Pato's cat. |
Let's get to it!
Lupe' cries over a photo of her and Javier the Dirtbag in happier days. Chava sees her tears and tells her to think of Javier as if he were dead.
"But he's not dead."
Chava realizes the truth, "So it's Javier that you've been seeing!"
Pato is on the phone with the DNA doctor. Peralta's right hand man, Renzi, comes into the restaurant. He listens in on the end of Pato's call.
"Yes, I can get samples. I'll bring them in tomorrow."
Pato ends the call and they bear hug. "Did you bring what I asked for?"
Renzi pulls a gadget from his inside pocket. "No door is closed to me."
Pato says it's time to go and heads out the door. Before Renzi leaves he picks up Pato's cup and finishes his coffee. I'm really surprised he didn't pocket the leftover pastries too. Just down the sidewalk Silvana watches them from behind a signboard. They get into a gray car. Silvana hails a cab and tells the driver to follow them.

La Malquerida, #6. 09/01/14.
Ulisses gets ready for his outing and Acacia drives up. He tries to kiss her hello but she pushes him away. She says she will never go anywhere with him now that she found out he wants to destroy the town park. I assure you that I will be the first to protest this. I don't know how much money you think you will gain, but realize that your project will never happen. Have you seen my plans asks Ulisses. No, and I'm not interested in anything that you have to say replies Acacia. I hate people who lie. Ulisses tells her to first take a look at his plans before throwing accusations.
Esteban gets onto Cris for allowing Acacia to see Ulisses.
Ulisses explains his green project to Acacia who quickly asks him to forgive her. She can't believe she caused all that drama and lost her chance with him. He comments on how beautiful she is when she's mad.

La Gata #1 - Mon 9/1 - La Introducción
We start out with some shots to establish the difference between our two protagonists and their worlds. Young Esmeralda drives her cart through La Barranca (The Canyon), then hangs out with some other kids, "sledding" down a hill on cardboard. Her shoelaces are pink, so you know she's spunky. Meanwhile, rich kid Pablo watches and wishes he could go hang out with the La Barranca kids. He's all dressed up in a suit with a plaid jacket and his room is decorated with soccer cutouts. His mom gives him a blessing before having the chauffeur drive him and possibly his brother to school. On the way, Pablo gets another look at Esmeralda, who's busy hauling around a black cat and fighting with a kid in the park for daring to call her "gatita" (little cat). Pablo is totally smitten with Esmeralda. It's probably the pink shoelaces. As his car drives off, Esmeralda has a conversation with the kid about wanting to catch a bird so it can sing. Her cat is named "Principe" (prince).
Her caregiver…and I mean that in only the most minimal sense…is Doña Rita, who's currently thrilled that some Italian guy finally let her read his cards, so she's scored some cash and a sammich. She has no intentions of sharing either. Not with La Gata and not with Centavito (little cent…I don't think we've met him yet). She says the pair of "vagonetas" (wagons) will need to bring in some cash in the afternoon so she and Inesita (no clue who that is yet) will have something to eat.

Capitulo
31: I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good
Lascuráin
Mansion: In the library, Ana and Fernando had it out over her
attitude at the engagement party. She reasonably asked him how he
could expect her to feel after raising her hopes only to dash them
and throw her in the garbage because he's marrying Zerobela. [Not
to mention having to watch him propose to her. What Edith Wharton
would have made of this...] This caught his attention and he
started to apologize, but she stopped him. She continued to address
him with formality. She had begun to cry but wiped away the tears,
saying that work is work and other things are another matter. She
said she is staying because she loves his children. “They need me
and I need the work so you won't have any more problems with me.”
She started to leave but he pulled her back and tried to explain his
feelings. She wasn't interested. “We have to accept that you are
marrying Isabela and having a baby with her. That's that.”

Master Disaster Engagement Dinner—Or Troth and Consequences
Master Disaster Engagement Dinner—Or Troth and Consequences
CAP 30
The guests breathlessly await Don Fernando’s proposal to Isa-bunintheoven-bela. It’s as if nobody that’s anybody there can honestly believe he’s going through with this numskull and muy but muy passé, aka archaic, idea of marrying the woman simply because she was dumb/careless/naive enough not to use birth control. (Yes, I do marvel at a 21st century Super Brainiac Bidnezwoman in her thirties, with x-number of advanced degrees, not using birth control of some sort--especially when purposely seducing a handsome, successful bidnezman--if not to trap the sorry SOB into marriage. Duh, Telerisa!) Anyway, reluctantly DonFerd does his duty. Bela blares out a repetitiously resounding “¡Sí,sí,sí!” to everyone’s dismay. (ITA with Yo mama Yolanda—“Enough already! We heard ya the first set of Sí’s!)

After Chava revealed that he had been talking to Paco behind the shrubbery, Greta doesn't look well, she has gotten pasty white and I swear she is having fit of the vapors! She gets into the car. Fausto comes too and Sofia says its time to go. Chava thinks that Fausto is opening his door for him, but nah not so much, they go on their way.
Irma is lugging those cosmetics she bought and tries to catch the microbus. It stops, she wasn't quick enough and the boxes get knocked out of her hand and the microbus runs over some of them . Irma is pithed.

Skipping the old and right into the new...
Acacia, Manuel and Luisa walk up to the river and reminisce about old times. He takes off his shirt and wants to get into the water. Luisa doesn't want him to throw her in the water like when they were kids. He chases her around.
Cris asks how the kids are doing. Everything is well now that German has agreed to run the hacienda. Norberto is so happy. Cris thinks Norberto should know that German is still painting.
Esteban silently gallops up to Acacia who some weird reason decides to change her clothes in the middle of the forest for all to see. He gazes at her nude body at a way no stepfather ought to.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #9: 8/28/14: The Curious Case of Paco and the Mysterious Woman
Hola Amiguis. If Pato thinks he can ever be a detective, he's sadly mistaken. Pato couldn't get water out of a wet sponge. Here is an earworm for you while you read this recap. Watching The Detectives Shall we begin:
Everyone is at the Maestro's wake. Alexa is also there. Later, sitting next to her Mama, Sofia agrees that Alexa is fragile. Pato comes next and plops himself down next to Greta and Sofia. He starts with innuendo with Greta. Using pointedly simpering things like secret lovers, etc. and Greta gets uncomfortable and goes out for air. Pato thinks to himself he wants Greta to confess.
Pato thinks he is Hercule Poirot
Chava talks to Cuco, and Cuco wants to know since Chava has quit the racing, instead of continuing to do this chofer's job, why doesn't he do Mariachi, like his Papa Javier? Chava is really good. Chava gets irate, never, ever will he be like his Papa, a pox on the man!

Posting of Tuesday's Mi Corazón Es Tuyo# 27 by Julia and Jarifa
[Thanks to both Julia and Jarifa whose memories were near perfect in their assist to Eli!]
Isabitch got Fer to reluctantly agree to have their engagement party the next day and to give her a credit card for expenses.
Isa went to the house to try to suck up to the kids. Guille and Alex attacked her with water guns, making the non-colorfast dye from her blue blouse run all down her white pants.
Up in the playroom, Alicia, Sebas, and Luz made a drawing of a witch and put it on the dart board. It was obvious to anyone but Isa that the witch represented her, but she insisted on joining in throwing darts at it, which cracked them up.
Then Isa tried to drop in on Nando, but he was busy having a big smoochfest with Ximena in his bedroom so she let them be. I don't think Nando ever got yelled at for having his novia in his bedroom! Maybe Fer didn't know about it.
Isa spent a lot of time being snarky and rude to Ana in a thin veneer of politeness, Ana was ostentatiously overpolite back, and Isa babytalks to everyone, including Nic and Fer.
Ana had a little meltdown and cried on Fanny's shoulder. Fanny agreed to stay and not leave Ana and the kids alone with the witch.
Fanny's horrid ex-boyfriend overheard Laura and Ximena talking about how Fanny's in love with the quesadilla woman's son, and he attacked Leon when he came to the school to see Fanny.
Johnny came to the house dressed as an exterminator and visited with Manuela and claimed to Manuela that he and Ana are siblings (she wondered how they know each other). Manuela told him that the patron is marrying the tarantula, which of course makes him think Ana is available to him again. He and Ana got in a fight in the driveway and Fer arrived just in time for the rescue.
Fer took Nando with him to buy an engagement ring. The clerk had weirdly yellow hair. Nando told Fer all about his relationship with Ximena and he thinks he's in love.
Recapped part by Blogger Julia
=====================
Some points from last night:
After giving Ana the book , Isabela makes a comment about them being able to get along in a civilized manner for the good of Alejandro and the kids. As soon as she leaves the house, Isabela is calling her "la nanaca". In a later meeting with Ana, Isabela calls Ana on her dry skin, poorly conditioned hair and dark circles under her eyes and then askis if she hasn't been sleeping well. Ana says she has been having some nightmares about a really creepy crawly thing and Isabela tells her that disappointments in love cause insomnia and that the book she gave her can help her forget it and let go of the impossible. Finally she suggest a corrector for her dark circles, but then says that she realizes Ana does not have the ability to get fine cosmetics but is sure if she goes to her local store she can find a knock-off. And so it goes.
Nando ends up forgiving Ximena and so he finally has a girl friend and Fernando approves.
Jennifer is all upset and Nico does not know why. She leaves him at lunch without a word about what is wrong. Nico is desperate he does not know what is going on.
Isabela convinces Fernando she needs an engagement party like tomorrow. She will arrange it all. She needs a credit card in her name and also the most important of all: an engagement ring. Yolanda is all excited about the monetary prospects and actually claps her little hands.
Isabela tries to make peace with Fanny for the good of her dad and siblings. She actually clenches her fist when Fanny does not give her a positive reaction.
Next stop for Isabela is with the rest of the kids where Isabela tries to broker a peace and ends up getting shot with water guns full of some sort of blue liquid that stains her white outfit and joioms the kids yelling "Muera!" "Die!" at a picture of a witch not realizing they mean her. The twins later apologize about the water guns with their fingers crossed.
Next stop for Isabela is with Alicia, where of course Isabela calls attention to her zits.
Mi Corazón Es Tuyo# 27
Isabela's rage after each failed attempt is apparent.
At the end, Fernando takes Nando with him to get the ring. Turns out that even though Fernando has lost contact with his bro Diego, Nando has been facetiming. with him and knows all about what he has been up to and him coming to the wedding. Fernando makes the comment that his bro still has not forgiven him. Nando asks him whatever happened between them that they don't talk. We never hear an answer.
Earlier, Johnny shows up as an exterminator and tells Manuela that Ana is his sister. Manuela is all over him.Fernando is not with a guy like Johnny being around his house and tells Ana he does not want to see him in his house again.
Also earlier, Ana confides in Fanny what is going on and how much she loves her dad and how desperate she is. Ana gets a call from her boss at Chicago that he needs her to dance tonight and when she hesitates he reminds her of her debt.

Mi corazon es tuyo, Capitulo 29*, Thursday – 08/28/2014 - Sushi and champagne make for a great expecting mother
(*I think that somewhere along the lines we made a mistake while adding up the episodes, because this is now episode 29 and yesterday should have been 28)
Read more »
Back to last night’s ending: Nico
asks Ana to speak to Jennifer, since they did meet at the hospital, after all.
Maybe they can become friends and Ana can convince Jen to come to the party.
Ana agrees to help and gives Don Nico a hug, just as Diego walks in. He tries
to insinuate that there is something going on between the two, but Ana is quick
to set things straight. Diego doesn’t fight it, he knows that Ana has something
going on with Fer, not with his father. Again, Ana denies everything, although
Nico does mumble that something did happen between them in the past. Ana has
had it with both of them, though, so she leaves, after asking Don Nico to
keep mum. Which will be very hard, since Diego wants to know the whole truth.
Viewerville observes how Diego
might now get the chance to do onto others what others have done onto him – to
want thy brother’s woman must be a Lascurain habit.

especially want to thank my fellow recappers, and this fantastic group of
commenters! Now, on to the recap!
Rod has taken both Natalia and Brigitte as his hostages
(rehenes) at gunpoint, and left El and his team unarmed and handcuffed to the
stair railings. He’s ordered that a squad car be left running for him. He
smacks Nat unconscious in the back seat, and orders Brigitte to sit next to him
in the front. Brigitte begs him to let HER go, and to think of their child. He
tells her he couldn’t care less (me importa un comino) about her and the baby.
Plus, she betrayed him! She swears she didn’t betray him. He doesn’t believe it
Nat wakes up, assesses the situation, and decides to play
hero(ine). She puts a choke hold on Rod, causing him to swerve and then stop
the car. He breaks free of her hold and threatens to pistol whip her again. He
orders them both to the floor of the back seat, and threatens to shoot them if
they cause any more trouble. They both cower on the floor, and Nat cradles
Brigitte protectively. Nat finds her cell phone and stealthily makes a call.
El and his team are free and El calls Captain Vermudez. The
captain is NOT pleased and won’t even allow El to go inform Carmen in person
that her two daughters have been taken hostage by a lunatic. El goes anyway,
and breaks the terrible news to Carmen with a hug, while Mushroom listens sadly.
Carmen is inconsolable and demands that El return her daughters to her!

La Malquerida #3: 8/27/14: A Jump In Time!
Hola Amiguis. Finally we have a leap in time! We are still in the past for the first little bit, but it gets better. I Keep Holding On here is a little ear worm for Y'all.
Shall we begin?
We left off yesterday with Esteban declaring his love for Cris and he'd like to marry her. Cris wants to marry him, but wants Acacia to accept him. For now it is enough for him to be close to Cris and Cris doesn't have to promise him anything.
Esteban attempts to get Acacia to go to work with him. Of course, she doesn't want to go with him. Cris says she'll talk to her, but Esteban tells Cris to let her be, she's a child and he goes off to work.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #165 - Wed 8/27
De que casi todos tomaron malas decisiones, tomaron malas decisiones!
In the lawyer's office, Diego explains to Nat that he's owed her the divorce for a while and hands her the papers. I believe cake is also customary…no?
Eleazar downs a glass of champagne in an effort to exorcise the ghosts of Carmen's past enamorados. Carmen declares she's alllll his and after some steamy smooches, retreats to the bathroom to get…ahem…more comfortable. Unfortunately, El is still having auditory hallucinations of the exes in question and starts checking the room for them. Carmen, in a gorgeous purple negligee set gets El back on track. They fall to the bed and I seriously hope the audible commentary from Los Ex playing in the background while the animated hearts float by was only for us and not playing in El's head.
The lawyer explains that since they were both in agreement to divorce in the first place, all they have to do is sign. Natalia refuses to sign and walks out. Hey, now, I'm SURE there's a mandatory declaration of "No te voy a dar el divorcio!" (I'm not going to give you a divorce) that's supposed to go with that.

Mi corazon es tuyo Tuesday 08/26/14 Time Warner blows
Please feel free to discuss the episode, I got a text from my sister yesterday saying that our cable and internet were not working, I've had issues with TWC in the last few weeks-after I asked them for a lower rate. Well, I get home last night and call them, it seems that the rep I spoke with a few weeks ago was able to lower my rate-by cancelling my DVR service and my internet and making my account a basic one.
After arguing with customer service last night I finally gave up and have to call them again this morning. My apologies for all this, I had no way of watching the episode and am beyond angry that not only was I unable to get a recap up but that a company I've worked with for years basically called me a liar and said the conversation I had with their rep did not happen the way I represented it. This blows.

La Malquerida #2: 8/26/14: The Fight is On To Save the Hacienda. Love is in the Air
Hola Amiguis! Tonight I'm doing a shorter recap. I had trouble with this one because of the whiplash scene changes and rapid fire speech. I think I got most it it. I've got another earworm Where Does My Heart Beat Now?
Shall we begin?
We left off last night with Esteban asking Cristina not to sell the Hacienda. He loves these lands and will do everything he can to help her save this Hacienda.
Juliana and her son her in his room, and I have to say this son has a talent. He's painted some beautiful Irises I think. Norberto storms in and isn't having it. He feels this is effeminate of this son, and takes a knife and destroys the picture. Juliana tries to stop him to no avail. He tells his son, be a man and go work the land. He goes.

Hasta El Fin del Mundo #7 20140826 Fashion Advice from a Guy Wearing a Mullet...Really?
Ripoll: While Sofie
sits in her chair, Patrick rubs her shoulders and gives her a little smooch on
the cheek. Instantaneously, she runs
away as if he’s got the cooties. Later,
she arrives in the chef’s office and tells him how much she enjoyed the
bonbons. They still taste like the very
first one that was made at Ripoll. Chef
Martin’s recipes will be world renown, she says. She gives the chef a kiss which is much more
action that Patrick got for giving her a massage.
After she leaves his office, Chef Martin laments that he is a fraud.
Sofie returns home to Snob Hill and
finds Alex waiting in her office. Alexa
wants to sell her share of the business.
Sofie says that Ripoll is a family business and they are not splitting it
up. Alexa says that Sophie will lose
control of the board if Alexa sells her stock.
Meanwhile, across the street, Grumpy Puss Paco is arguing
with Chava’s mother. He told her
that he called Chava a traitor, and she is not happy about it. Paco believes that Marisol, like her brother,
is a traitor for trying to earn a living instead of showing their loyalty to
him by starving to death.

Soooo. Last DQTQTQ recap. Can't say as the show is going out on a high note and tonight's episode proves it, BUT I have really enjoyed the camaraderie and conversation! Thank you again, Kat for getting this started. And thanks to Karen and Vivi as well for jumping in when the marathons began! Thanks, too to all the folks who commented!!!!In the interest of full dislosure: I didn't take one stinkin' note and I didn't pay close attention. I've organized by "couples" (used loosely.)
Carmen and El
The get busy "reconciling", but a radio call from Cenudo breaks up their fun. Rod has robbed a drug store.
Karina and Alonso
Karina begs to help her get HOTscar back. They discuss how the baby daddy thing is going to work out with Oscar in the picture. Alonso wants it to be clear that HE is the father. Karina promises that the baby will know that Al is his dad and Oscar is her husband.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I only got a chance to see the first segment of the show online, the rest I had to watch as broadcast. Univision had the 'D' team on closed captions again so the captions were lagging behind the dialogue on this episode. I apologize ahead of time if I missed or misunderstood some of the dialogue. Please feel free to fill in or correct in the comments.
Let's get to it!
Armando gets fired from his new job and discovers that his old boss has bad-mouthed him to all the other auto mechanics. His employment prospects look bleak.
Chava escorts Sofia through the gauntlet of news photographers and reporters crowded around the Ripoll factory gate. The reporters shout questions at them as they plow through the crowd. Sofia agrees to talk to the reporters inside the gate.
Silvana hands Marisol a Ripoll uniform. Marisol thought she'd be working in the offices. Silvana nastily informs Marisol that since she hasn't finished high school, she isn't qualified for anything but working on the factory line. Silvana grabs the uniform back from Marisol, "That's the job you've got. Take it or leave it." Marisol puts her hands out to take the uniform.

Hola Amiguis. Yes, I am recapping this TN. Before I begin, I want to let you know that I recap by ear and the actors' body language. I use no captions whatsoever. I have a little earworm for your listening pleasure as you read the recap, How Do You Mend
Shall we begin.
We begin with a loving family of Alonso, Cristina his wife and Acacia their daughter. It is clear they love this Hacienda. Cristina takes a picture of Alonso and Acacia who are about to go off riding. Cristina reminds them not to come back late because they are having guests for dinner, Juliana and Norberto. Acacia and Alonso ride all over the Hacienda and he tells her all about the land. It has been passed down to him from his great grandparents, his grandparents and then his parents. It has been in the family a very long time and one day it will be hers.
Meantime, Norberto and his sons attend a cockfight. One son isn't into it but the other is.

Mansion: In the kitchen, Bruno bursts Manuela's other bubble
when he tells her that their boss will be marrying Isabruja. She is
incredulous, asking “He's going to marry that bloodsucking bitch?
How is that possible?” She is just as displeased with this idea
as everyone else and rants about it. Bruno then suggests she pack

Week Seven – Mon Aug 18
A Dragon must have enough pockets to carry listening-device detectors AND great big revolvers.
A Dragon can reassure a damsel to not believe everything other people say about her; but he is likely to ignore that advice when it comes to what people say about her to him.
A Dragon might be able to be the younger sibling of a Black Falcon; unlikely in nature, but in the realm of telenovelas, a real possibility.

Call out to Cynderella. Male Stripper alert. See the first 2 minutes.
Our story continues where we left off, with Fernando telling Ana that he’s going to marry Isabela. And she is shocked and embarrassed for having thought that a mere employee would be asked to marry him, apologizes quickly, and leaves before he can explain. As she leaves, she loses her shoes, he chases after her and finally catches up in order to explain. She absolutely will not let him, cutting him off at every start, and runs away. I absolutely hate when they don’t let someone explain themselves. What would it hurt to hear the explanation?

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #5: 8/22/14: We Are Family, I've Got All My Sisters With Me!
Hola Amiguis! I have another earworm for you in light of what occured during this epi. Sisters, Sisters!
I didn't take notes watching so if I missed anything please let me know. Take a look at these sisters! They look like close sisters don't they? But pictures don't tell the whole story do they? Shall we begin?
We start where we left off last episode. The arguement at the Ripoll table. With all the money that Alexa has spent in Spain, she must have lived like a Queen for four years. Sofia advises Alexa to go back there if she wants to. We'll get back to them in a tic.
Chava, Marisol and Lupe are at table too. Chava would really like it if Marisol would go back to school. Marisol argues with Chava and tells him it's a new century, not back in the day. She wants to earn her own money to get what she wants when she wants it. Chava is thinking of selling his race car. Here Lupe puts her foot down. Chava worked so hard for that car, and someday he'll get back to racing.

Que Pobres tan ricos #164.Aug 21 2014.. Emi makes little signs of progress, reunites with the Menchacas. A-hole is ready to celebrate his win.... but what did he win?? Boy, Aureliano finds a way to teach humility even after death.
Isela warns Mini not to tell anyone about the secret Isela wants to cash when she wants… Mini insults her and gets slapped for it. ISela gets on internet looking for non-profit she can buy. Nothing about greenpeace, hate animals, amnesty international, nah, don’t care about human rights… Isela keeps protesting about the slap… Isela says you earned it for annoying. Poor kids foundations… no I hate them… besides, who would you be able to marry a poor kid with?
Lupe questions A-hole on locking them up… Lupe warns him not to lock them up again. Lupe wants to leave with Emi, but A-hole overrides her… A-hole wants to talk to Emi alone. Lupe leaves irritated.
A-hole coaches Emi against MA, MA only wants to separate us… and your mom is in relationship with MA… Emi questions why did you tell me before not to tell her I knew about her and MA and now you want me to… A-hole says use it in your favor, tell her she can’t leave you for him… surely she will stay with us then…
MA and Saul argue at fruteria office, MA can talk real fast when he is angry… he is mocking A-hole’s tone of voice… has been talking like that since he was a kid per MA, now I hate him even more… MA can’t wait to be able to beat the crap out of A-hole. Saul says hold your impulses… the ‘tipejo’ has a restriction order against you… wait until after the issue of the clause… MA says that’s the problem, each day I doubt more that A-hole will fulfill the promise to get away from Lupe and Emi… otherwise, why the restriction order??
At Fonda Perla is holding a kitchen roll and some kitchen towel as a sash and is practicing her speech by holding some home made tiara… Leo, DA and Rita come and mock her a bit… Perla tells them she is counting on their support… she wants them to buy vote tickets for the contest. (its kind of like raffle tickets). Rita says the day is getting close she will return to the US. DA asks her why so soon? Rita asks DA if he has thought about whether he is going with her or not.
MA tells Saul that he has been thinking of what Vilma said about the notebook… if she said not even A-hole would think of it, it must be very obvious place… Saul says what if he hid it in office? MA says its more probable she hid it in his house… if the house is empty, no one will find it.

Lupe questions A-hole on locking them up… Lupe warns him not to lock them up again. Lupe wants to leave with Emi, but A-hole overrides her… A-hole wants to talk to Emi alone. Lupe leaves irritated.
A-hole coaches Emi against MA, MA only wants to separate us… and your mom is in relationship with MA… Emi questions why did you tell me before not to tell her I knew about her and MA and now you want me to… A-hole says use it in your favor, tell her she can’t leave you for him… surely she will stay with us then…
MA and Saul argue at fruteria office, MA can talk real fast when he is angry… he is mocking A-hole’s tone of voice… has been talking like that since he was a kid per MA, now I hate him even more… MA can’t wait to be able to beat the crap out of A-hole. Saul says hold your impulses… the ‘tipejo’ has a restriction order against you… wait until after the issue of the clause… MA says that’s the problem, each day I doubt more that A-hole will fulfill the promise to get away from Lupe and Emi… otherwise, why the restriction order??
At Fonda Perla is holding a kitchen roll and some kitchen towel as a sash and is practicing her speech by holding some home made tiara… Leo, DA and Rita come and mock her a bit… Perla tells them she is counting on their support… she wants them to buy vote tickets for the contest. (its kind of like raffle tickets). Rita says the day is getting close she will return to the US. DA asks her why so soon? Rita asks DA if he has thought about whether he is going with her or not.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #162, 8/22/2014
De que son adolescentes, son adolescentes
I didn't take notes and I probably should have. Please fill in. Oh, and there was no mention of the will.
I'll just start with Rod, Al and the tribunal (for lack of a better word.) Al reports that Rod is perfectly responsible for his acts and should rot. Rod continues with his act. "Oh yeah?" he sneers "If I'm so OK, then why do I see Dead Al standing right behind you?" Rod says some other things and Al is pushed to his limits and starts punching Rod. Way to go, dude. Ruin the case. Rod is carted off to the hospital. I'm sure this is setting up for lax security and an escape. Al gets yelled at for beating up on Rod.
El and Luz manage to catch up with the Garcias. They happen upon Paolo and Mara (who are still attempting a little hubba hubba in the woods.) El announces his move to Mérida. Carmen haz a sad. Lupita is also upset and El tells her he'll always care for her. I seem to remember Luz says something to El about at least letting Lupita know he's not really moving, but El is sure Lupita will squeal. Carmen has to believe that he's really leaving.

Weekend Discussion: To the Manor Born -- How Much Does That Really Matter?
The class distinction that happens in telenovelas obviously fuels more than a couple of plot points per series. In the Americas there are no titles like those in Europe such as Sir or Dame for KBEs; Baron, Count, etc., in other countries, and there are equivalents in the Middle East. Here in the Americas it's usually about money or where you went to school.
In all our stories these things are used by those who choose to ignore that all human beings are the same in all important things. But so do people do this in life and it extends beyond how much gold is in your parents' coffers when you're born.
A college buddy of mine worked for a major global corporation for a number of years. He was smarter and more articulate than many of his colleagues. However, he didn't attend an Ivy League university and isn't a WASP; he's a first-generation American of Irish Catholic parents. That alone was going to keep him out of the board room. He didn't care about that once he got to the advertising department of his company where creativity was valued.
Do you think this is outdated or have you witnessed this in your own lives? Have you beaten it on occasion?
Be articulate, amigos.

Hola Amiguis! This is my last full recap for Pobres. I didn't take many notes, so if I got something wrong just let me know. Take a listen to this little earworm as you read the recap. She's Come Undone! Shall we begin?
I am skipping the old and getting right to the new.
At El Editoral Vilma calls Ahole. She still wants out of the joint. He tells her to be patient that he'll be the President soon and then he'll get her out. Vilma is googly eyed and beleives the lying liar that lies. Sucks to be Vilma.
Carm and Guendy are having a chat. Once Guendy marries Nepo she will be moving into his abode and Carm says no worries, she is still going to be living at Guendy's. Carm has to go now, but will talk to her more this evening.

Hasta El Fin del Mundo #4: 8/21/14: It's All About the Price Tag and The Bling Bling!
Hola Amiguis! This recap will be short and sweet. I have a wee little earworm I've been wanting to use and now I can! Take a listen as you read the recap, I Can't Drive I am skipping the old and commencing with the new. Shall we begin?
Alexa is in the back of that Mercedes, sniffling about Papa's car, cause I guess when they went to the funeral this was the car used. Armando, ever the gentleman, asks her if she is okay cause he didn't know about the car. She just wants to go home. Armando tells Alexa he just loves this car, her Papa must have been great. Alexa asks if Armando is a chofer. Nopis, he's a mechanic and explains the racing circuit. She knows all about it she says. She went to races in Monaco.
While Greta is giving Miguelina hell, Fausto in the back is giving Lucas hell. Fausto has dealt with little ruffians like him before, grabs him by the scruff of his neck and throws him out. Kudos to Fausto!

Hashtag#: No, It’s The Other Woman!
Cap #24
We’ll skip the old and jump to the new…… as Fanny takes another ride on the wild side, literally, and is introduced to the scary world of public transportation. She and Leon go to school together on THE BUS.
Meanwhile, Ana, still troubled by Don Fernando’s giving her the cold shoulder, tries to weasel the reason out from Nando. He refuses to betray his father’s trust. Ana has another Tinker Bell moment in which I believe she’s telling herself it isn’t her fault that ol’ Don Hielo has made a sudden reappearance.

A Tale of Three
Campsites
Campsite #1: Luz & El
El and Luz continue to search for the Garcias, while El
rehearses the many different ways he can tell Carmen that he loves her. He’s
pleased to learn that Carmen has not yet been told about his work transfer. Unfortunately,
neither Luz nor Lupita realized just how large the comet viewing area is, and
the lack of cell phone service means that they are unable to coordinate to meet
up.
El uses old fashioned tracking skills to find them. He sees
the smoke from their lunch camp fire in the distance, but when he and Luz arrive
at the site, the Garcias have already moved on an hour ago, by El’s estimates.
With night falling, El decides to call it a day and set up camp for the night.
Luz is disappointed, but mother and son end up bonding and reminiscing, and the
woman El says I love you to that night is his mama Luz. As they snuggle down in
their sleeping bags for the night, they hear the faint sounds of a cumbia beat
floating through the air. El smiles.
Campsite #2: The Garcias & Company
Paolo’s mini green car is so loaded down with camping gear that
it’s not a surprise when a tire blows out. Since the Garcias always take lemons
and make lemonade, Carmen decides it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill
and make lunch, play some soccer, and chillax. The Gracias even convince Irene
to stay, with the promise that she can borrow some clothes from Abdul to suit
her boyish (caballona) figure.
The Mushroom does his best to avoid having fun. And there
are plenty of reasons for him to frown. 1) An errant soccer ball knocks over the
lunch camp fire, topples the food to the ground, and starts a large blaze. The
Gracias put it out and keep on moving to the final camp site. 2) A flare (sent
up by El in an effort to alert the Garcias to their location) falls out of the
sky and right onto Abdul’s tent, setting it ablaze. The Garcias decide to all
pile into Irene’s giant tent, leaving Mushroom all alone in his tent. 3) The
sky is too cloudy for the comet to be seen. The Garcias decide to dance cumbia
around the camp fire instead. 4) The sky opens up and starts pouring rain. The
Garcia’s snuggle up and keep each other warm in their tent, while Mushroom
freezes in his. Carmen allows him to share their tent, as long as he stays as
far away from her as possible! The Mushroom sulks.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #3-The Dress, The Dame(s), and The Discord that Detained Chava from Unemployment.
My computer keeps crash dumping so I will type this at school and have it read around 12:00 and 1:00.
EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-
Sofia and Chava
Sofia lets Chava know he begins immediately and he is happy to oblige. Greta intervenes and says she has not finished interviewing him but Sofia insists he is OK and lays down the rules; no high velocity or victory cries since they're informal. He tones it down and they head out. Greta dislikes Chava since he's- Fausto interrupts and says Attractive, Sympathetic and of a Enchanting Smile. Greta says he is ordinary. Fausto suggests she has some chocolate Miguelina prepared since it will change her mind; Greta is up for the chocolate but her mind won't be changed.
Patricio's Cockamamie Scheme
In an alleyway of sorts are various thugs and a familiar face who comes out of a car; it's Patricio who has come to let them know what's up with the plan; They will track Sofia, kidnap her, bring her to a room or location of sorts and then he will come with cash which I'm guessing most likely will be a ploy and lead to Pat fighting to save Sofia. Sofia is to make it out of the kidnapping COMPLETELY unscathed physically and when they're fighting the thugs aren't fight by much and avoid hurting Pat's pretty little face. They know how to get the job done. They go their separate ways (for now. OK so his plan is save Sofia from harm. There's something else fishy about this plan but IDK how to word it. I mean it's supposed to make him look like a hero but right after they get to the rendezvous, Pat is immediately going to go in and save her? Wouldn't Sofia wonder how he knew she was in peril? Yeah that's how to word it.)
Lupe and Irma
Lupe is getting down like the old lady from Soul Train when Irma comes in to bitch about her troubles. Lupe offers to watch her son and says it would be sweet to have him around when Irma lets out the biggest bitching and yells that she came looking for advice and not be barrida y regada (IDK man, IDK. Also, From this day forward Irma will be know as IrkMe since she irks me. I'm getting a Karina from DQTQTQ vibe from her and Armando is a competent Alonso right?)

VIERNES PARTE 1
Reina wants to start a new life. Esmeeth will get everything ready for her. Navier interrupts the conversation, but Reina just says she's thanking Esmeeth. Navier notes with irony that Esmeeth is always there at the right moment and her boss must be very proud. He and Reina leave and Rocky comes in. He asks if she's going to say anything to Bolivar. She tells him no and that if he does it will cost him his job.
Laz arrives home. Miriam in the shower. A text from Putz arrives. Laz's cerebral hamsters begin treadmilling.
Estefy admits to being the one that hired the thugs to beat up Putz. No one is going to hurt Greata! Victor overhears and Estefy tells him that Putz was blackmailing Susana and threatening to tell Greata about her real mom. Estefy wanted Putz to understand that you don't mess with her. Victor approves and says he would have done the same...well, he would have done something a little different. He is unable to elaborate since his phone rings and interrupts. It’s Bolivar. We don’t know what he said, but Vic looks serious.
Miriam is out of the shower and she’s not happy with nosy Laz. She tells him Damian is a friend from rehb. Laz is no dummy. He begs her not to get involved with Putzy Trash like the Putz. Miriam concludes that Laz wants to leave her and go off with rich Greata. He can get rich and she can’t. Greata can’t even make love to him! Why Greata and not Miriam? For LOVE, Laz responds.
Izzy at the bridal shop. Connie tells him she’s a modern woman and willing to have a “free” relation with him. He agrees and asks her not to tell anyone about their “free” relationship.
Navier takes Reina to his apartment. Reina asks why they are there. He explains that he called Vic and told him they were giving their statements to Esmeeth. Reina doesn’t like when Navier reports things to Vic as if he were his trusted man. Navier clarifies that he is REINA’s hombre and she is his woman. Doesn’t she think they deserve to be away from all the crazy for just a moment. He’s not afraid of bullets. He’s only afraid of not being able to make love to her forever. Love on a short sofa. Shirtles Navier (drink.)
Laz looks for work. Miriam thinks Laz said he loved Greata just to annoy her. Laz is actually surprised by his feelings, too. Miriam makes the lame “she can’t make love to you” argument. Laz says a woman is more than just a body to him and Miriam doesn’t believe him. She knows he’s an ardent (fogoso) and passionate man. He pushes her away and tells her that thanks to her and the Putz’s shenanigans, he and Greata are kaput.
Greata cries alone. Susana comes in and asks what’s wrong. Greata says she can’t even dry her own tears. Susana asks if she’s crying for Laz. Susana explains that Laz had nothing to do with the beating of the Putz and that Laz is a good guy. Greata doesn’t believe it. No one who gets involved with her has honorable intentions. Who is going to love a paraplegic like her? Susana says everyone deserves a “gran amor”, even Greata.
