La Malquerida #38, 10/15/2014: Ale Escapes Dan, But Leaves Love and Family Behind
Labels: malquerida
Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap # 43- Dani's Been De-Flowered ;)
Matt and Sofi asking about Maestro about Paco. She needs Matt to prepare a recipe and he is astonished about the recipe book.
Lupe and Marisol; mari is crying since Lucas just wants to be friends.
Lucas and Dani in the field talking about Lucas' life. He was abandonded by his mom. Dani says he has an ngel; Miguelina. Lucas AM DANIELA Y DANIELA AMA LUCAS!
Pato kills Sofi's giggles and invites her to the best cheesecake in Mexico.
Silvie and Pato talk about her party planning skills and how she's such a good friend to Sofi; almost like sistahs.
Cheesecake (yummy!) Renzi making out with some chick in the restaurant (ew gross!)
Armie drops off Nandito with Paco and 'Celi. Celi is curious who is IrkMe's sick friend.
Renzi-Pat reunion!
Lexa and Fausto; he asks about Alan.
Sofi asks about Renzi; she introduces herself and he salivates over her subtly.
Greta caught wind about Dani not being at Annette's and at one point she says to the other end of the phone not to cry. She grills Fausto and Alexa intervenes.
Dani and Lucas are thanking each other for such a wonderful day and before leaving, they tempt each other into making love; don't be scared. We get tender scenes of Luc stripping Dani of her garments and kissing her on and down her neck.
Greta says to Alexa not to cover for Dani; she isn't. Greta asks why Dani lies to her/
Chava and Arispe(?) are talking about drinks and Sofi, his happiness is elsewhere.
Silvie realizes that ever since Chava began to work for her, Sofi's changed a lot and Sofi concurs.
Dani comes into the Ripoll Mansion floating and in a Sally Sunshine mood. She plops on her bed and belts out her and Lucas' song, "Y NO PUEDO DEJAR DE PENSAR UN MINUTO EN TU SONRISA! (I won't lie, I recently saw my 2-yr. lost/re-encountered-March-18-2014 love and after walking up to his school, I started singing it quietly.) Greta tries to fart all over the breath of fresh air in order to relieve herself of stress but in a sweet way Dani shows she isn't havin' that and first dawdles in giving the slim on that she went horseback riding; Greta's perplexed and finally...Dani lets it out with the most glee I've ever seen that she made love with the boy she loves! Greta has certainly relieved that gas and soiled herself right about now but can hardly utter a word.
(There's more to come; I just reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy love this part!)
___________________________________________________________________________________
Alexa is looking for plane-tickets prices when Fausto comes in to ask; is your incognito trip due to Armando?
Marina and IrkMe squawk at each other and Armie comes in curious.
Alexa says Armie has nothing to do with her leaving and says he is married and surely loves IrkMe. Fausto says real love is pursued with fire (a passionate flame fire I assume.)

La Malquerida #37, 10/14/2014
Last night:
-German did NOT get stabbbed! He takes the knife from Norberto, packs up his remaining paintings, clothes, and the car he bought with the money HE made at the Association (paid by Esteban), because Norberto never paid him for any of his work, and leaves with his dignity...to spend the night at the hospital with his brother. WORST DAY EVER!
-Norberto slimes all over Juliana, she rejects him, he says she'll come crawling to him when she needs money, he pays a visit to Julianita.
-Julianita gets roughed up by Danilo when she dares to dream about becoming the next Mrs. Norberto and leaving this life behind. He reminds her that she belongs to him.
-Dan calls Ale to make sure she dumped German and told him the lie about her dad sexually abusing her.
-Ale seems to be ready to fly the coop and leave her good man and new family behind.
-Both Juliana and Perla sign contracts on A2. Nuria lies to Ulises that she sold Juliana another space.
-Juliana and Manual try to convince German to give up his art so that Norbie will accept him back into the family. He won't budge.
-Acacia and Cris return home. Esteban seems determined to distance himself from Acacia. She's all over him seeking his approval for her reconciliation with Uli, and trying to get him to teach her some horse riding tricks/skills. He refuses the lessons saying he'll be too busy. She pouts and touches him too much.
-Cris returns the letter to Luisa. She's heartbroken but seems to accept that Manuel is not for her. She says Arturo is just a friend when both Cris and Acacia point out that he's a great catch and they think he likes her.
-Rosa has agreed to help Art and Luisa with their upcoming event. They're going to cook in Uli's little house. Art is totally going for it with Luisa. Uli approves.
-Norberto brings the full hospital bill to Cris and Este, and wants it all right now, so that Manuel can be released from the hospital today. Este thought the plan was for Norberto to pay and for them to pay him in installments. Norberto knows they don't currently have that liquidity with all the debts they've had to pay recently. Norbie doesn't care. AND he demands that Cris remove her support of German for the art show. Cris refuses. Este demands that Norb apologize to Cris for getting brusque with her in the hospital the other day. Norbie hesitates and makes the mistake of admitting that he actually raised his hands to Cris. Este loses it! He pins Norb against the wall and asks how dare he raise his hands to his wife!

Mi Corazon Es tuyo #62 Martes 14 Oct 2014 Hey Brujas!! how low can you go??
Fernando starts the breakfast flour food fight in the kitchen with the kids and Brianna… Brianna asks Alicia why he changed, Alicia comments that Ana had to do with it. He dumps the whole bowl of dry flour on Alicia’s head… she shakes it off…
That sounds like a really fun kitchen to be in…
Fanny and Laura arrive to visit Ximena, at first she is angry but when she finds out it is them she is really happy… (bipolar for sure!)
Leon and Reina the tricolor hair girl with Mau at the birthday.. he is depressed about Fanny. She confesses her feelings to Leon and kisses him.
Diego with Ana climbing rocks out in the woods somewhere… Ana asks him to give her some TLC… he helps her to the top of the rock, she yells for him to grab her, he grabs her alright and plants a smooch on her for good measure.
Lo Nuevo:
Ana gets a bit fearful, she does not want to drop down the rock on the rope… she starts praying… he asks for a kiss, she offers a slap instead. But she does go down alongside him. He teaches her as they go. Where did you learn to do this? The Himalayas. And then he mentions that a friend did not go down the ‘healthy/safe’ way. Then he metaphors about how people deal with their problems. ‘why di you jump like a toad?’ then she lets go and falls… he yells her name. he comes down. She’s alright. (is anyone getting the déjà-vu from the beginning of Refugio? Phew! Not the same outcome… thank goodness)
Diego cracks up laughing, she is not very appreciative of that. She yells at him to get her down already!
The girls ask Ximena ‘when are you going to leave here?’ ‘ when I stop being dangerous for others’. Seems Ximena has learned a few lessons, like money is not everything. Fanny asks if the meds are working. Ximena does not want to talk about that. Ximena changes subject, how about Leon? Now it is Fanny who does not want to talk about it. What about Reeky? Didn’t you dance with him? Yes but Equis! He is my boss and as old as my dad.. Hello!
Diego asks Ana if she thinks he would have invited her without it being safe. He keeps insisting with the I love yous. With me you will always be safe. She is starting to like this relationship better, gets more into the kisses.
Leon did not appreciate Reina’s kiss. He is totally clueless… Reina gets a bit flustered at his reacting like a teenage virgin kid. Do you need a dictionary? I like you very much. Since we were about 12. Leon breaks the convo up by telling Mau we are leaving.
Laura and Fanny tell Ximena they are worried about her. But seems Laura is not so much, ‘I have a life too, you know?’ Fanny looks at Laura like not approving where this convo is heading now.
At the house, Luz, the boys and Fernando are in ‘battle’ disguise with bandanas and face color to have a water gun battle. They sprinkle all over Alicia and Brianna who are sunbathing. Nando is reading a Stephen Hawking book. He is not into it but waves to Brianna when she calls him.
In the house, YoMama and Isa have discovered the post-hurricane kitchen. They are sickened. Isa tells YoMama Fernando gave the day off to all the staff. YoMama asks her if she will go see Reeky. Isa says he is the only one that will even notice her. Isa tells YoMama to clean (LOL!!!). YoMama finds a pancake whole enough to eat… she blows the dry flour off it (LOL! Must be desperately hungry)

La Gata #32 Tues 10/14/14 La Pesadilla
It's another recap from memory. It's out of order. Please let me know what I forget and I can go back and add it.
Ines is out of jail (I assume on bail) and goes to see Rita in the hospital. She is repentant and asks Rita to forgive her. Rita does and assumes this contrite behavior means that Ines and Garabato have broken up. Ines informs her that that is not the case.

La Gata #31 Mon 10/13/14 If you're stupid and you know it clap your hands!
Recap done!
The truth comes out:
Jarocha shows Pablo the video Rita made where she tells him that she along with his parents worked to keep him and Esmeralda apart and he finally learns that the babies are his. Jarocha asks him what he plans to do now that he knows the truth and poor spineless Monica wants to know if this new revelation means the wedding is off (dude, someone buy this girl some self respect!). Pablo tells her he has to speak with Esmeralda and runs across the street to confront his old love.
Pablo and Esmeralda are now face to face, he tells her that he knows the truth and then he makes the mortal mistake of asking Esmeralda if the kids are his. Esmeralda tells him that the fact he knows the truth changes nothing, what does he expect her to do? Drop everything and run back to him? Naw homie, that's not going to happen, because she explains, their problems are theirs alone, and it was not his parents and the lies that tore them apart, it was lack of trust, and she once told him he would regret the unkind words he had about the babies, he should be satisfied to know that the kids are hers and she's enough for them.

Oh No, Bro'! Say It Ain't Sooooooo!!!!!!!
Our worst nightmares have become reality if this be truth.....
Lo Del Nuevo:
• Johnny’s walking the streets on his way to the bus stop, mooning over losing Jennifer to Don Nicolas--like he ever had her to begin with….. Moon-Boy trips over a stand up cardboard cutout of some famous model/actress and now falls in love with her. (Is this guy certifiable or what??? What idiot falls in love with a cardboard cutout? Only the kind of clown with scrambled sk!t for brains—the Televisa kind.)
• Ana gives Diego her reasons for believing Yo Momma is her momma: the rare song Yo was croaking; the fact she wears cherry red nail polish; her being from Ecatapec where they believe Ana is also from—despite it having a population of a million or more people, as Diego is quick to remind her; her having had another daughter prior to Isabela; and the fact that Yolo plays the guitar. (Works for me!)
• Luz breaks in on the convo and Ana’s reminded that they all have to get ready for the quinceañera blowout right away. Once Ana and Luz leave the room, Diego calls up the new investigation officer for Ana’s case and gives her the lead on Yo-low.

Labels: malquerida
Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #39 Pato's Plans Starts in Motion
Alexa cries to Armie that Sofia and Greta are giving her the money to go back to Spain, but she really doesn't want to go. Armie tells her to be honest with her family, they will understand. Alexa says she doesn't have the courage to do that.
Silvana's jealousy gets the best of her and she confronts Patricio in his office. She's in love with him and can't stand to see him in the arms of Sofia Ripoll. Sofia walks in to see Silvana crying but not soon enough to hear why. She takes Silvana away to talk privately. Pato sits at his desk planning damage control.
Dani and Lucas sneak away and have a make out session in the warehouse of the factory. Marisol tracks Lucas down and interrupts the kissing and heavy breathing to offer him some of the cornbread she made. (Girl, it's gonna take more than cornbread. Just sayin'...)
Silvana lies to Sofia. Silvana says she just found out the man she's in love with is engaged. She was talking to Pato about personnel issues and noticed one of the factory workers has a name similar to her (fake) boyfriend's and that's what caused the emotional outburst. Sofia buys it.
Pato talks to Tavares at the police station. It seems that Pato's fingerprints were found all over that stolen money. Tavares asks Pato if he'd like to change his story? Of course he would! And he does. Chava is now off the hook.
Paco re-opens his shop against the wishes of Araceli. He's tired of sitting at home and needs to be active. Araceli warns him to be careful.
Chava takes a walk and runs into Araceli. He confesses there is a woman who is always on his mind. Araceli guesses that it's Ceci, but Chava tells her the woman consuming all his waking and dreaming moments is Sofia Ripoll. Araceli can't understand why warm, passionate Chava would be drawn to a cold android like Sofia.
Patricio tells Sofia that he put in a few good words with Tavares and the all charges and suspicions against Chava have been dropped.
Irma can't get in to see her sick "friend" because he's been taken in for medical tests. She'll have to wait until morning. Irma wants to go home now, but Martina says if Irma leaves she'll go to Armando and show him the unique mole on her back - the one that both she and her brother have - that matches the mole on Nandito's back. And she will tell Armie that Nandito Ain't. His. Kid. Irma agrees to stay.
Alan is helping Dani with her English homework. He offers to help her with other subjects as well. As Dani walks upstairs he leers at her and says he can hardly control himself.
Sofia tells Chava that Patricio talked to Tavares. Chava isn't happy. He doesn't like feeling like he owes Patricio something. (I don't get this. Chava doesn't owe Pato anything.)
Lupe' is having a dance recital at Cuco's place tonight. She goes to the factory with Chava to hand out fliers. Lupe' is talking to Dani when she is spotted by Silvana. They have an argument and in the process of throwing Lupe' out, Silvana knocks her to the floor. Lupe's ankle is sprained. Chava helps her home and now has to help improvise something for the dance program. Lucas is going to help.
One of the Ripoll trucks has an accident and an entire shipment of chocolate is lost. (I cannot believe I had to type that. An entire shipment of chocolate... gone. Truly tragic.) The client waiting for the shipment is so angry he hangs up on Sofia. Now the entire factory has to scramble to get another shipment ready to go in less than 24 hours. Pato tells Sofia not to worry, he'll take charge. Uh-Oh.
End of Episode.
GET WELL SOON MADELAINE!!

Weekend Discussion: Past vs Present Telenovela Conventions: What's the best combination?
What would you rather see again vs what's happening now? What do you miss about novelas of 20 years ago?
Let's not get into discussions about series length; we have done that to death.
I personally would prefer scenes to be longer. Sometimes when watching novelas now I get whiplash from the quick scene changes after two or three lines of dialogue. It gives the illusion of more action happening when in reality no more information is communicated in that episode than in an episode shot 20 years ago.
Let's have fewer situations about pregnancy entrapment or at least demonstrate that it mostly doesn't work, We have all witnessed at least one example of this in real life and all know that the consequences aren't pretty. The Isabelas of this world don't usually get what they want.
Force producers to make up their minds about the period of the story. It really annoys me when they can't make up their minds and we have no idea whether it's 1950 or 2010.
Add yours, my friends.

La Gata #29- Thu 10/9 - La Afrenta
Monica tries to call him. She apparently had been listening to the audiobook of "How to Develop Your Telekinetic Powers" and summoned the phone to her side (it was previously on the coffee table). When she can't reach Pablo, she calls Lorenza, who tells her not to talk to Pablo right now because he's going through a rough time…he saw "that woman" and he's feeling confused and wants to break off the engagement. Monica starts getting weepy and Lorenza keeps up the fiction that no one believes--that Pablo loves her...but he's obsessed with that woman. Lorenza tells her to avoid Pablo's calls, turn off her cell, and Lorenza will email her when she's got Pablo's strings back on. "You'll marry Pablo, or my name isn't Lorenza de Martinez Negrete!" She's said this before, which makes me think that's not her name.

La Gata #28- Wed 10/8 - La Reaparición
Pablo is up in his room staring blankly out the window. He's now seen Esme two days in a row, according to Mariano. He claims to be "embrujado" (bewitched). His love is stronger than he is, and even though he has no idea what her intentions are, he can't stop seeing her.
Esme, on the other hand, is telling Silencioso that she doesn't want to see Pablo anymore. It's too hard for her to pretend to be lighthearted when she'd rather be screaming at him. Silencioso tells her that if she loves him, she's going to have to fight for her love. Because if she doesn't, he'll marry Monica and be lost to her forever.

Mi corazon es tuyo #58... Tonight at the UFC event... Mama Bear vs Modern Wicked StepMom!!! Nico tries to free Jenny, Ana gets a new uniform and Fernando gets more enchanted with Ana
Leon crying over Fanny’s drawing.
Isa’s tantrum at her mirror and looking at the camera swearing vengeance… BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sebas telling Ana what happened with the twins, Isa and the school notebooks and him.
Lo Nuevo:
Outside the house, Reeky offers Fernando support. Fernando the dumb says ‘I am sure the office is in good hands with you’. Reeky tells Fernando he only has his dad but he had an embolism recently (it was your fault, embezzle!!) … but life goes on… give a kiss to your wife for me… of course… (DANG!!)
Reeky leaves, Fernando remembers Nando’s words while remembering moments mixed (before and after wedding with Isa) with Ana… ‘yeah I am a bitter old man’.
Isa continues moaning at mirror. Here comes Mama Bear…
‘You don’t mess with my kids!! You can do whatever you want with me, but with them… NO!! Give Thanks to heaven that you are pregnant, because you don’t know what I am capable of… you are not going to say anything?... how do you dare to hurt a kid like that?’ / ‘Fernando will hear about this.’ / ‘Orale! Sure! why don’t we start telling him about the issue of the notebooks or the fact that you enjoy humiliating the kids or that you hurt Sebas…’ / ‘don’t exaggerate, Ana! I did not do anything to him!’ / ‘ ah no? lets go see what Don Fernando says about you calling his son an ‘engendro’ … about that you said that he should overcome the loss of his mom… ‘ / ‘haven’t you got it? Sebas invented all this!’ / ‘Don’t tell me those things, Isa!! Let’s put Don Fernando to the test to see who he believes more, if you or one of his children… Let’s go! Orale!... should I drag you?’
Downstairs Fernando is in living room with Diego and Fanny. Fanny lets Fernando know Leon stopped by the office to see him while he was at the hospital with Nando and Ximena. Fer will deal with that tomorrow.Nico arrives. Bruno is there too. Fanny takes her leave to go to bed. Nico asks if he can join the whiskey round. Diego will wait for Ana.
Back upstairs. ‘So it is clear to you now. Right, spider? Don’t mess with my kids. ‘ / ‘you don’t have any idea who you are messing with, N A N A C A.’ / ‘ the one who has no clue who she is messing with is you, mija. And it is the last time you call me that way, because next time I will forget you are pregnant. How do you like that?’ / (Sebas is at door listening to all this, is scared and crying still) ‘ Do you really think you can intimidate me? Do you really believe you have power over me??’ / ‘ when Fernando finds out…’ (notice they both call him Fernando) / ‘When Fernando finds out, he will do what he promised me. This house is an absolute chaos. You think everything you do has no consequences? ‘ / ‘The consequences will be yours because…’ / ‘Don’t interrupt me, maid!! (ouch!).. The children are out of control… they are beasts. (ouch!!) and you motivate them to keep misbehaving…’ / ‘A ver, maestra’ (in this context is like saying ‘lets see ma’am!’ in Mex) ‘Don’t call them like that!’ / ‘Quiet!!’ / ‘they are no beasts or anything like that… they are better human beings than you!... let’s see, what they did was a prank. They are kids! On the contrary, you go steal their notebooks… who is the adult? The one with all those studies… the doctor degrees… ‘ / ‘let’s see… imagine that I slipped on the paint and had lost the baby (puts her hands on her belly) … that pair of ‘engendros’ are disrespectful… know who is the real one to blame?? You, Ana!! You, you and no one more than you!! (‘tu, tu y nadie mas que tu’ is a line in a famous song). Ana Leal!! The one that influences the kids… the one that should care for them, the one that should educate them!... ‘ / ‘Look, Isabella!...’ / ‘Quiet! I have not got to the punchline! Fernando knows perfectly that you are inept… and he promised me that the next time his kids misbehaved he was going to get a new Na-na! (Sebas gets even more upset) that simple! If you go with him with the tattle-tale, all you will do is put in evidence your ineptitude even more.’ / ‘ one! I just don’t believe you! … two! I can be all you say about me but I will never be a tarantula with no heart who utilizes helpless souls, including the one in your belly…’ / ‘ ah! Ya, ya! It would only be natural that you lost your cool one day… and slapped me… Oh, no! wait! You already did, right? (Ana looks down, a bit deflated/concerned) Because it would also be too bad that Fernando learned that you slapped his wife while she is pregnant. Remember you would not only lose your job… you would lose everything. ‘ / ‘ Alright… I will give it to you. I did screw that one. But nine months… or whatever you have left… pass pretty quickly, Chabela (a nickname for Isabela). What I don’t understand is that you utilize your baby to defend yourself… well, of course, you used it to marry him. You are capable of anything (whispers) you scare me, Isabela. ‘ / ‘ that is right, I am capable of everything… of everything!... to get you away from Fernando.’ / ‘ sure. I will only tell you one thing, and I will tell you slowly so it is clear to you. You mess with any of my kids again, and you will regret, Isabela, of having been born (where is Sebas to hear this?). Got that?’ (Ana leaves on a roll, and Isa is having another tantrum about hating the darn Nana)

Way to go Orioles and Cards!!
Refritos:
Johnny with the receptionist..
Fernando admits to Nando he is dying of jealousy of his brother… Nando tells Fernando he has not smiled since he married DissaBella … no scientist needed to know you are not happy. Do you think you are doing any of us a favor to know our father is not happy and did not fight for the woman he loves?
Ana arguing with twins about both of them forgetting the Spanish notebooks… Luz tries to cover for them, zipped mouth. Ana suspects there is something they are hiding…
Lo Nuevo: \
Diego won’t tell Ana what he has planned…
Nando asks DissaBella how is the baby going. She says ‘I feel it’ (LIAR!!) .. Fanny arrives asking for Ximena. Doctor comes out, she had a crisis, had to sedate her, can’t keep her here for long. She will have to be transferred to the Psych unit. And for that he will need her mother’s authorization. She would be locked up in the Psych ward. Nando impactado.
At house, Bruno serves YoMama her usual martini and snacks… she gets the blues and tells him she feels very lonely… Bruno willing to listen and talk…

YoMama spills her upset feelings to Bruno about the way DissaBella treats her, tells Bruno how she grew up poor, she worked in everything, she used to run errands, took care of kids… she discovered eventually she could sing, she would sing in the public transport trucks singing with her guitar… (Now Bruno is the one that seems to be recalling old times)… Bruno tells her he too has had hard times, and Don Nico rescued him. yoMama notes they have much in common… she was rescued by her husband… he always respected her and is the best that happened in her life (besides my DAUGHTERS …[NOOOOO SAY IT ISNT SO!!!!])
Diego will drop Ana at her house.
Fernando tells Nando he is concerned Nando has already missed two days of school. I get it that you are in love… or I don’t get it. Ximena is always depressed or angry all the time, can’t find anything you two have in common. Nando keeps insisting love has no explanation… what do you Fanny have in common with a messenger… or you, Dad, with Ana who takes care of the kids… Fernando points that neither Ana or Leon are ‘ill’. Fanny says we don’t want you to sink. Ximena’s mom arrives. She has an attitude from the get go ‘how is my daughter?’ (Fernando looks at her like 'oh my!')

La Gata #26 10/06/2014 Miss Kitty goes to the ball
Esmeralda and her daddy (Fernando) who she still does not know is one half of her parental unit arrive at the ball and Kitty cat looks good! She manages to get the attention of several of the guests, all of them stunned by her beauty.
Shoe update:she is not wearing boots!
Anyhoo, among the guests are Lorenza and her children along with her husband-you remember him right? He is the one that gets off on stealing other peoples property and framing innocent people. We will get back to him later, oh and Monica is also there, poor girl, will her public humiliation never end? Will she learn to just say "no" to Pablo and run off to a place where it's okay to wear red shoes that look like crocs in public? Am I asking for too much? (Yes, yes I am, but I can hope,no?)
Mariano is the first to spot Esmeralda (aka: Miss Kitty) and he points her out to his mother, he has enough avocados to actually comment on how beautiful Esmeralda looks in front of his mother and enough grace to actually say that he is happy for her. Can you imagine Pablo having enough grace and character to say such a thing? Of course not because the only thing that matters to Pablo is well, Pablo. Whatever the case may be I'm now a Mariano fan.
Lorenza is not happy for Esmeralda and makes it her mission to tell every one at the gala that Esmeralda is gutter trash (her words, not mine!), like a snake she slithers around spreading her venom, she makes the mistake of telling the ambassadors wife (the ones throwing the party and those who invited Fernando and Esmeralda there) the same story, but this time Fernando catches her and tells her that she needs to stop spreading gossip, or else. She makes the mistake of asking what the "or else" is and she gets put in her place. In short Fernando tells her who he really is and that her family will be sorry for all the crap they have pulled. Lorenza calls his bluff and tells him she is not alone, she has a husband and two sons to protect her! Fernando tells her to call them over and maybe the would like to hear what he has to say, Lorenza finds Agustin and tells him that Fernando wants to speak to him, in the end it's the same conversation Fernando had with Lorenza, he promises to get revenge and to expose Agustin as a liar and a thief and an all around criminal, Agustin says he is not scared but it is revealed to us that his conversation with Fer upset him enough to almost give him a heart attack ( a well deserved one!)
While this is taking place Esmeralda is on the dance floor, as is Pablo along with Monica and when Esme tries to say hello to him he treats her rather harshly and tells her that they have never been friends. He is enough of a jerk that the French ambassador has to tell him to behave. Later Esme bumps into Virginia and the two bond with Virginia suggesting Esme take Pablo away so that they can talk and resolve their issues. Pablo arrives, is again a jerk to Esme and when it looks like there will be another physical fight Fernando arrives and takes Kitty away.
The next morning Lorenza wakes up and realizes that Agustin is nowhere to be found, he comes in looking like death warmed over and he explains that his worse fears have come to pass, Fernando has made a formal accusation against him and it's only a matter of time until their life comes crashing down around them. Lorenzas suggestion? Throw Kitty and Fer in jail for a good 20 years. Agustin says this wont work, Fernando is not the same trusting man he once was, Lorenza finally looks worried.
Felas tale:
Okay, Fela after seeing Rita runs away in fear, and can anyone blame her? Rita looks like the crypt keeper but worse. However after thinking about this for a bit I have a few points I'd like to make, follow me dear friends:
- At some point Rita had some sort of relationship with Fela, she has spoken of Fela as if she were a dear friend, however:
- Rita was somehow involved in harm being done to Fela, did someone pay her off to look the other way while an attempt on Felas life was made?
- Why did they try to kill Fela? Was it simply to get their hands on Fernandos money?

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones -- PAGE ONE: week of October 6, 2014
First Izzy and then Lopez 2.0 tracked down one of the Giant Red Diamonds to the sticky-fingered EMT guy. Uh oh.
More Fodder for Crackpot/Crockpot/Colander/Sieve Theorists: Asunción changes her story when she talks to Estefanía -- She knew Estefi's father when she was just a teenager. (Oh ho!) It was later that she married Pedro (el payaso) Ortíz.
Victor leads Christian, The Worst Cop in Las Vegas (TWCILV), by the nose, convincing him that Navier is responsible for the death of the hapless Reina stand-in. Later TWCILV somehow stumbles on the fact that Navier is actually a Secret Agent Man.
Navier, with Boris of Belgium's help, is about to flee the country. At the eleventh hour, Greta spills the frijoles about Christian's murky past -- maybe they can use the secret to help Navier. Femme Fatale Connie Leiva lures TWCILV to her house where Navier is waiting to pounce.
Serious Reinamaniacs -- feel free to review previous recaps in the dropbox Jean has set up here.
So is it time for our show yet?

Weekend Discussion: Sob Stories and Snob Stories
My college buddy recently became a grandfather for the first time (I think he's freaking out about it). I remember when his older daughter was born his now-ex bought her a Laura Ashley nightgown in a thrift shop for $3. It looked absolutely brand new; I'm sure its previous owner barely wore it a handful of times before outgrowing it. She showed it to me and another woman and we commended her on her practicality (which in this case she had learned with their firstborn). She begged us not to tell her husband, who had an issue with thrift shopping. This is the same man who wouldn't have made it to the IBM boardroom for not having attended an Ivy League university.
For a while they drove leased cars (Lexus and Mercedes) until they couldn't afford to continue to do so. It was all downhill from there and he is still recovering. Much of that was her fault 20 years ago but I won't bore you with the details. Interestingly she came from a family with a lot of reverse snobbery.
Tell your tales, amigos, and you can change the names to protect the guilty.

La Gata #25 10/3/14- La Gala
I had some questions...
- How long until Centavito and Fela get to live in the mansion? They deserve it.
- What the h*ll is Lowrenza's deal with Monica? She is obsessed with her marrying Pablo. It makes me want to puke.
- Why are we still being subjected to Rita's wrinkly face?
- Can Virginia look any more pitiful when Lowrenza is yelling at her? And am I the only one that thinks Lowrenza's crimes against her daughter are worse than her meddling with Pablo?
- WHAT KIND OF SHOES DID ESMERALDA HAVE ON AT THE GALA????
Now on to the recap.
Esme doesn't think she could ever be unforgettable. She's just La Gata. Fernando explains there are street cats and salon cats. And now she will be a salon cat. Don't you want the Sra Martinez Negrete to lower herself for you and beg to be friends?

Hasta el Fin Del Mundo #34 20141002 Something Happened, As Usual--Updated!
Xlnt provided us with an Xlnt short recap!
Thanks so much! See below!
Here's a quick and dirty bullet point recap of the show:
Sofia visits Chava in jail. Aracely shows up and introduces herself as Chava's ex-novio. Sofia goes back to work with the realization that she has some competition.
Aracely offers to be Chava's lawyer. Chava agrees.
Irma tries to convince Armando to sell the house. In the midst of her harping the phone rings. Irma answers and quickly hangs-up when she realizes she is talking to a voice from her past. The phone rings again. The woman, Martina, warns Irma not to hang up or she'll come to the house. Irma agrees to meet Martina the next day.
Dani hears about the theft at Ripoll and thinks Lucas is the culprit.
Chava goes free from jail due to positive testimony from both Sofia and (surprisingly!) Silvana. Though he is now free, Chava remains under suspicion. Read more »

La Gata #24- Thu 10/2 - La Audiencia
Lorenza gets the news from Monica and explains away Pablo's reaction with "Well, he's a man." She blames it all on Esme and begs Monica not to leave Pablo. Monica wants Pablo to be happy, and Lorenza says that Monica is his happiness. I don't think Lorenza understands the meaning of that word.
Back at the house, Esme cries and is comforted by Silencioso, who says those meanies will pay. The maid brings them tea or coffee and gives them a suspicious look.

La Gata #23- Wed 10/1 - La Transformacion
We jump RIGHT in to a smooth-haired Esme being adored by Fela, but they're not letting us see her face.
Back at the house, Silencioso tells Esme that from now on she'll have tutors to prepare her for taking her secondary school exams. She won't have to go to night classes anymore. With her gorgeous clean face and her bright red lipstick. Also, Silencioso wants to teach her some stuff too. She almost looks like she's wearing her same black dress and boots…but are these pricier versions of the originals?
Esme rides past the Negrete house in the back of the car, setting Mariano's mixed feelings aflame. He assumes she's Silencioso's new amante (lover). He starts to have thoughts that, hey, since Pablo's out of the picture maybe he could…. But no! In an extensive thought bubble, Mariano puts Esme up on a pedestal as much as Pablo ever did (you know, back in the day, before all the lies) thinking that she's a one-man woman and she'll probably never love anyone other than Pablo. I get the impression that only makes him admire her more.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #52, Tues 09/30/2014 Finally Bruno and Manuela hook up, Jen leaves Nico breathless... Isa wins one battle, or does she?...
Johny hugs the bald guy
Leon meets Reeky… Reeky notices that Leon is not quite just history for Fanny.
Nando and Ximena, his blindly kissing her nose… she keeps on smiling…
Jenn and Nico… Ay my Sciatica!!! / no worries, I will go make you a home remedy in a jiffy!
Isa spills the coffee on Ana intentionally…
I: sorry, I am so clumsy… (Ana growls) … you owed me. Know? It was an accident, I am so distracted…
A: You think you ruined my night?... I can change clothes in 2 minutes, but you can’t change your bitterness…
Lo Nuevo:
Jen is delighted with how ‘lively’ (vivaz) Nico turned out to be…
Ximena and Nando… he makes some comment of going 300K km per second… she says ‘don’t feel bad… these things happen. … it was great.’ ‘you are such a bad liar… but I love you so much…’ ‘ Nando, you are my love… my love.’
Nico throws the towel on Jenn (he has her lip kiss prints all over his face’… she will bring him some cake she has around. (he comments ‘this woman is a beast’ and she replies she heard him LOL!)
Isa goes to fetch Fernando at library… She reminds Fernando Ana must be having a great time with his brother… they make a great couple, don’t you think? They are both liberal, extroverted… i can imagine them backpacking semi-nude in the middle of the jungle… ‘ She suggests they go to bedroom… sorry Isa, even if you try to massage and give him a preview, he is just not that into you… he comes up with the excuse that his son Sebas is out on the street. Isa asks Fer if it is time to take the painting of him and Fanny off the wall. He just replies ‘No.’ (take that, bruja!!)
The guy who Leon got off Fanny when they met is the DJ at some club. There is Sebas in the middle of teenage girls who are clearly older than him. Poor guy is about to be stepped on… but he is real happy to be there.
Erasmo the driver calls Fernando’s cell. Fernando is very impactado to hear his son escaped.
At scalpore, Bruno keeps admiring Manuela’s cleavage. She pulls his chin up so his eyes look at her face… LOL! He mentions the devil arriving and then blows on her chest… she asks him how long has she been running after his jacket tails… he doesn’t know. She says she is tired. He begs her not to go. ‘Today you will understand one of my mysteries’.
