Hasta el Fin del Mundo #47 20141021 A Dog Fight, A Cat Fight, A Cock Fight and a Lover's Quarrel


Trash Can de Oscar the Grouch (aka Franciso “Paco” Fernandez) Araceli asks Paco why he never sued Octavio Ripoll and Martin Coria for stealing the recipes of his delectable delicacies.  “Why would I want to do that?” asks Paco.  Araceli tells her father that his friends’ betrayal turned him into a bitter man.  She wants to know what he was like before.  Was he always like this?  Paco orders her not to make any trouble for Ripoll.  Do not sue them.
A while later, over lunch, Lupe apologizes for getting Paco in trouble with Araceli.  Paco tells Lupe that he told Araceli the truth about the recipes.  Lupe agrees with Araceli that Paco should sue the Ripoll factory.  We You will be rich!  Paco says that the past is bitter; he doesn’t want to think about the it.  He was sad for the last 30 years and now he wants to be happy for the rest of his life.  Lupe tells him that should find a woman to be happy with.  He grabs her hand and tells her that chatting with her makes him happy. 
Later, at the store, Paco thinks about how he has wasted 30 years pining for a woman that has never thought about him.  He now wants to spend the rest of his life (in poverty, because he refuses to sue) being happy with the woman who has stuck by him.  He thinks of Lupe, who is certainly thinking of the potential bazillions he will win from the lawsuit.

La Malquerida #42, 10/21/14: Hector Sees What Viewerville Sees; Dan Continues to Top His Own Evil

Mexican Episode #47

Just high level bullet points tonight. I have an early day tomorrow.

-Esteban continues his jealousy hissy fit and runs off to the swimming hole, where he imagines that he gives into his temptation and kisses Acacia. Fantasy Acacia pulls away and says this can’t be, because he is her mother’s husband.
-Meanwhile, real Acacia calls Cris to inform her that she’s coming back to the ranch to pack and then head to Ale’s birth town with German and Ulises, by way of San Jacinto. She greets Juan Carlos when she gets back and tells him they’ll be staying with Elena in San Jacinto and that she’ll send love from him to her grandma. They miss each other.
-German is a better father figure to Manuel and is more firm with him than Norberto is. He tells his little bro to suck it up. Acacia doesn’t love him. That’s no excuse to give up on his life and his therapy. He orders Manuel to come to San Jacinto with him to begin his therapy. Manuel refuses, pouts, and shouts about how they ALL betrayed him by hiding the truth about Acacia and Uli. Norbie gloats about Manuel not wanting to see German and lets German know he’s not welcome there. Later Norbie and Julie fight about:  1) Norbie supporting Manuel in not going to his therapy; and 2) Norbie not allowing German to visit them at the ranch. Norbie just thinks she wants to get away from having to sleep with him by going to San Jacinto. Juliana taunts him with denying him sex, and asks him if he’s going to force her. He responds by slapping her hard across the face and walking off.

Mi corazon es tuyo #67 Tues 10/21 Fernando finally faces Isa with some backbone and gets to witness her effect on his kids first hand... Ana defends Fanny to Reeky and later Reeky pulls out a cannon and a 'loved ones' threat on Leon

Fernando asks Ana why she referred to Jenny as 'hermana.' Fernando asks Ana if she will tell the truth once and for all… sike!!! Just kiddin’!! advice to have a ‘sister’ so fast? Chemistry! Ana changes the subject quick and walks away.

Music continues… where did all these stranger guests come from? They were not at the wedding!

Edna looking for Johnny… he is with Dana (the other girl from the Chicago) out in another patio. Johnny kisses Dana (or rather she kisses him) and Edna is outraged…

Leon, Reina and Margarita busy keeping up with the food serving and cleanup.

Wait… Reeky dancing with Betty??

Ana and Diego to to dance. Fernando shows miffed face. Isa looks away rolling her eyes. He remembers his dancing scene with Ana in library at the house. Alicia comes to ask Isa to go to restroom with her. Luz goes to dance with Diego and Ana. YoMama comes to check how Fernando is going. He is not in the mood… she wants to know how the marriage is going… YOU ask me about my marriage? … YoMama brings up the issue about Ana’s mom. She seems to want to explain she talked to Ana… Fernando really not in the mood to talk about it. Fernando gathers as much respect as he can and says ‘but… you are no longer welcome in my house.’ (yeah, he said it flat out like that and in one breath!! And Yomama is having a hard time catching her breath.. she is totally frozen. Fernando had planned to talk to her later but… ‘I want you out of my house, Yolanda’. Yolanda is in disbelief… you can’t send me away like an old rag… Fernando reminds her he had warned her, remember when they accused Ana of the burglary?? YoMama insists 'you can't do this to me, I am your MIL!' but Fernando continues ‘if there is something that makes me sick is injustice. And watching someone abuse their ‘power’ on folks who are in weaker positions. I don’t want you in my house any longer. Enjoy the party. Excuse me.’ Fernando is done talking. Stands up and leaves. YoMama tells herself ‘ay, hijita, you and your ideas’. Fernando watches Ana and Diego interact with Luz and is a bit sad. Diego comes over and notices Fernando is a bit out of it. Are you sure? Can I do something for you? Fernando tells him he just kicked YoMama out of the house. Its just he is not (in the mood) He is ok…

Isa and Alicia in restroom. Alicia tells her Sebas made up everything so her dad would be mad at her. Isa thanks her. Ana walks in, seems not happy that Ali is talking to Isa. Isa asks Ali if she will let her alone with Ana to talk to her. Ana is not looking forward to this. Ali leaves. Isa calls Ana ‘vulgar’. Ana asks from toilet ‘now it turns out you are not, right?’

Reeky sits Betty down in the middle of a song and goes right to grab Fanny. Need to talk to you. Fanny also wants to talk to him so she goes to dance with him. Leon watches them. Reina tries to poke some jealousy in Leon. But he is not having it.

Diego has pulled Fernando outside. Fernando wants to talk to Diego about his life. Diego understands that sometimes what we say and what we feel are not the same. I know perfectly what it feels like to loose a love. (or lose in love) Don’t want to talk about Ana, or we will end up badly.

Isa grabs Ana roughly questioning if she went tattle-telling to Fernando… Ana is rough back in her tone. Isa threatens to Ana not to talk to her as ‘equals’. Ana does her arm movement ‘cancelo! Cancelo! We are CERTAINLY not equal. What you want to know is if I went to Don Fer with the gossip about the intrigue you and your mom built against me. I did not tell him! Look, I did not tell him. But he found out. And the trick backfired on you and your mother. I was not guilty of anything… just was a bit too trusting. But what happened later…(Isa gets rough with her again but Ana stops her) I have not yet told him that you left me and Jenn out in the road’ Isa rebutes by mocking Ana’s desire to find her mother and the fact of Ana looking like a clown in the road asking for a ride… Isa totally enjoys watching Ana suffer for sure. Ana is about to rip Isa’s wrist apart… Ana again says if it were not for your pregnancy… Ana warns them not to play with the most sacred one has which is your mother… Ana leaves, Isa again is left grinding through her teeth nagging that Ana broke her hand (if she had, you would be screaming in pain now, B!!)…

Fanny tells Reeky that Leon is more a man than him. Reeky says that was not a threat. Reeky claims that he told Leon what he told her, that Leon is inferior. Fanny tries to end the convo and leave, But as Reeky tries to grab her, Ana comes to the rescue. (was funny how Ana pointed her finger at him and he looked at Ana’s face and then down at the hand… like ‘who the heck are you?’) ‘I know people like you who think they are all that, but you don’t know what I am capable of if you try to harm my nina, EMBEZZLE!!!’ Ana calls Reeky a big bad wolf. Ana threatens him to tell Fernando if he tries to get close to Fanny (the little ridinghood). And he will kick him out of the corporate office. (loved that scene of Ana showing face for Fanny). (loved how Reeky stared at Ana, I just hope he won’t target Ana as his new dart board picture) Got that!... yeah, you got it. (as Ana leaves with Fanny, Reeky says ‘you don’t know who you are messing up with, Ana Leal…) (I am afraid the secret of Ana’s second job is coming up sooner rather than later).

La Gata #37 10/21/14 La Molestia

Full disclosure: I'm in one of my cranky, kvetchy moods and this episode didn't help. What's with all the talking? And where the hell is Fela? Ugh.

The least important stuff
  • Rita's suitor is still around, but Rita is getting discharged so...whatever.
  • The Meatball is still around. I think he's teaming up with Garabato, but he brought his gang to the pizzaria and took advantage of Meatball. Yelling. Threats...whatever. (Meh. This should probably be filled under "Important"...whatever)
  • Esme and Jarocha have a long conversation.
  • Esme and El Silencioso have a long conversation. The MNs should be kissing the ground you walk on. Blah blah blah.
Probably not super important, but it didn't annoy me too much
  • Augie had another attack, but he's not dead. Dorila made him chamomile tea that tasted like arsenic. This was right after he said he wanted to hire a hit man and be done with FDLSC already. Dorila has a quick line about always staying quiet. Will this turn out to be important?
  • Virginia visits Esme. She keeps calling her "cuñada." Kind of sweet.
  • A beggar woman asks Pablo for some money. He obliges. She gives him an origami flower. He invites her to lunch and tells her his troubles. The actress is really familiar to me and it's driving me crazy trying to figure out where I've seen her before.
  • Damian seems to have become El Silencio's goon/muscle. He beats that bald guy to a pulp and Pablo and Esme are there to hear the confession: Augie was the "brains" behind Operation Selfie.
Important...I guess.
  • Mariano tells Lowrenza that Pablo knows everything about Operation Selfie. Lowrenza doesn't deny it. Mariano has some lines.
  • El Silencioso and the lawyer Osorio have a long conversation. The MNs will NOT mess with his hija. Give them the offer they can't refuse-Publicly admit their guilt, accept Esme in their home and announce her engagement to Pablo. (PS: Augie can refuse it, but...Lowrenza? Maybe not)
  • The Martinez Negretes seem to have forgotten the most important plot point: The household does indeed revolve around Pablo. That's why we're all in this mess! But tonight everyone is screaming and bleating about it always being Pablo, Pablo, Pablo! Augie says he's always been a headache.
  • Pablo confronts Augie and they have lines. Lowrenza breaks up the fight and Augie leaves. Parallel scenes with Augie drinking and renouncing his son while Lowrenza asks Pablo if it will help if she and Augie accept Esme and his engagement to her. Well, of course it will help. Lowrenza says they'll do it....but asks Pablo not to say anything just yet. She asks him to wait until the day of the gathering to actually propose. I guess he agrees? Anyhoo...he heads to Esme's house and FINALLY gets to meet the babies!!
Avances
Looks like the writers will be working my nerves again tomorrow.

La Gata #36 Monday 10/20/14 Stranger Danger!

Hello my patio peeps! Here goes the recap:

I'm going and you can't stop me:
 Miss Kitty and Silencioso have a show down, he forbids her to go see Pablo but she won't listen and takes off with Jarocha and the babies.
At the hospital Pablo meets with Monica, who is there because Mariano called her, why did Mariano call her? Because he hopes that Monica can work her charm on Pablo and keep him away from Esmeralda so that he (Mariano) can get a chance to woo her. Good luck with that little buddy. The long and short of their meeting comes down to this: Monica loves Pablo, but she knows he loves Kitty and what do these women see in Pablo? He's not smart, he's not charming, ok so he might be pretty but as my beloved Judge Judy would say "beauty fades, dumb is forever!."

Miss Kitty arrives at the hospital and finds Mariano there, he tells her Monica came to the hospital-spent the night there with Pablo and that the two left together, he also tells her that Pablo does not want to see the children until he is in a better financial position. Kitty is hurt and leaves with Jarocha, Mariano is left alone with his thoughts and the voices in his head tell him that he and his father are the same-his father stole 20 years of a mans life and he is trying to steal the love of a woman from his brother, hey at least he is self-aware!

Capitulo 66: Who Let the Dogs Out?

Lascuráin Mansion: Fernando took Isabully aside and told her that there will be grave consequences for what she and her mother did to Ana. He didn't give her a chance to say anything in the way of denial and made it clear that he will not have his father's wedding day spoiled. He then called the chauffeur to get started. He assured his father that all was well before he went into the car. Zerobela then pretended to faint and told her mother that Fernando threatened her. Alicia was incredulous.

Blogger/Recapper Update: Madelaine's Health

Caraymates,

I have been in touch with many of you over the last week as I have gotten updates from Blogger Madelaine’s family about her health. Many of you have asked if we shouldn’t share the news more widely on the blog, and so I am using this space to do so now. Most of you know Madelaine as one of our most energetic bloggers, recapping multiple telenovelas at a time, multiple times a week. He recaps and comments are folksy and warm. Her ever-ready, perfectly matched song/music selections are infectious. Over the last few weeks she has been unusually absent from the blog, battling what she thought was a tough flu bug.

Mads and her family now know that her fight is much greater than that. Sadly, she is battling stage four lung cancer. I know most have you have already been sending her prayers and well-wishes. I ask that you redouble those, as Mads goes through radiation and chemo over the next few weeks. If you would like to send her a letter/card/note directly, please e-mail me by clicking on my avatar.

I hope you are all well out there.

Abrazos,

Vivi

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #45 10/17/14 Let's All Celebrate this (un)Happy Occasion!

Sofia descends the stairs in a dress I have no explanation for. Why is she wearing black at her own engagement party? This might be something Silvana would do out of grief over 'losing' Pato, but no, she's looking hot in bronze. Note to Sofia, if you dress in funeral colors at your own engagement party, maybe your subconscious is desperately trying to tell you something. Pato joins Sofia and everyone applauds as they come down the stairs.
 
 
 
Besides being ugly, half of Sofia's dress is missing.

La Malqueria, capitulo 40.

Ale is outside Danilo's old business. I knew he still was running this shady business. Suddenly Olga comes out and recognizes her. She grabs Ale and says your the one that made us lose everything. Ale wonders what she means by that. Olga complains that she's a maid now. Ale thinks it's a better job than the one that she had before. But Olga is not in agreement. She has to clean up all the messes the drunks make at the end of the night. Voices are heard and the girls hide in a doorway. Olga tells Ale after she stole the merchandise, Danilo's boss found out and sent goons to kill him. Luckily all he escaped with was a disability. Danilo's former boss took away all his businesses. So what Danilo said is the truth questions Ale. Olga concludes that Ale has seen Danilo. Olga says Ale can confide in her and tell her everything. After Ale escaped, Danilo beat her up and left her in the street without a penny. All because I would help you. And Carlitos. Ale wants to know where they buried her brother.

Danilo tells German it's not that he doesn't want to give them Ale's old address. He called her old neighbors and no one has seen her but they will keep their eyes peeled for her. German doesn't care and still wants to go. Danilo tells German he knows he doesn't like him but believes that her old neighborhood would be the last place Ale would go. He knows her well. Esteban asks him why. Danilo says that her old stomping grounds was a horrible place. And it was also where her brother died. She had a hard time there and I helped her. She has no relatives there anymore. Luisa comes running in with photos of Ale. Danilo attempts to grab them but Esteban gets a hold of them first. He orders for copies to be made and put up in town. Acacia mentions also putting up a description of her along with her scar. Cris says she never knew anything about a scar. German says she was careful not to let anyone see it. Acacia wants to go and start making copies to distribute. Esteban sends her and Ulises on that mission. Esteban asks German if he knows anyplace Ale would frequent? Luisa thinks perhaps the church. Off she and German go to look for Ale.

La Gata #35 Fri 10/17/14 La Estupidez

With "La Terquedad" as a close second for title.

PART 1
The teacher in me seemed to think everything was an essay question. I did a little scene combining, too.

Is it really Pablow's fault? Why or Why not?
Virginia and Mariano lobby for Pablow. They try to convince Augie to make up with Pablo and let him back in the house. Augie is too wrapped up in the legal proceedings against him. No. Pablo is not coming back to the house. All he's done is slung mud on the family name and made enemies of the Elizaldes (Monica's parents.) They could have been great allies against Fernando de la Santa Cruz, but Pablow ruined that.

Is it nature or nurture? Choose a side and back up your argument with examples
El Silencio complains about Pablow shirking his parental responsibilities. He's a Martinez Negrete. That explains everything. Jarocha thinks El Silencio is just as stubborn as well, Esmeralda. This kind of pleases El Sil. Jarocha warns him that if he continues Esme will end up leaving the house. Jarocha reminds him that she and Esme know abject misery and they know how to survive. Sure things are nice at his house, but Esme would have no problem leaving if El Sil doesn't slow his roll. El Sil thinks he couldn't bear losing his child again. His whole reason for venganza would be gone if he lost Esme.

La Gata #34 Thurs 10-16-14 Fallout from the Non-Wedding

RECAP BY LA PALOMA RECAP BY LA PALOMA RECAP BY LA PALOMA

Previously
The lovely Monica calls on La Gata, telling her God and Pablo punished her and humiliated her like never before. The love Esme and Pablo share is stronger than the hate and they must pursue that love. “Thanks for listening,” the shunned bride concludes. “God bless you and forgive me.”

The Dance of Love Continues
One can only suppose that Sra. LaToodle wants us to feel renewed with clean and almost comely Rita as a love object. The IV man appears in her room again, claiming that he is her clown and she is his circus. (His glasses are a little thick—maybe he doesn’t see so well.) She says if she could get out of bed, she’d beat him. The nurse comes to chase him off, saying he proposed marriage to the lady in room 14. So he roams the halls, preying on women.

Gata gazes from her window, asking the universe for Pablo’s location. No answer.

Pablo explains his mural to a group of gentlemen, proposing animals for the outdoor setting—cats in particular. He rhapsodizes to himself that he’ll immortalize his love for Gata, work through the pain he caused, and save money for his kittens—uhm, his children.

La Malquerida #39, 10/16/2014: He Should Have Given Her Pants

Mexico Episode #44

-German tells Ulises all about his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Ulises is sure that German can fix things with Alejandra—just look at him and Acacia! He invites German to live with him—rent free, until he finds another job or sells some of his paintings. German doesn’t want to be a bother or a moocher, and doesn’t want to cause any discomfort since Manuel and Uli don’t get along anymore. Uli insists, but warns that for the next few days, Arturo will also be staying with them. (Hey, maybe they’ll have a pajama party, like the girls…except they should be shirtless!) They realize they are both headed to Benavente that evening—Uli to give Acacia a driving lesson, and German to speak with Cristina.

-Ale is on the road, trying to hitchhike with no luck. It’s hot and dusty, and she didn’t bring water with her. She sees a roadside truck advertising freshly squeezed juice and goes up to the man and woman running it. Unfortunately, they have just wrapped up, have no more juice left, and are packing up the truck. They take pity on Ale and offer her an orange. She sits by the side of the road in front of their truck, gratefully sucking on the orange, and thinking about what to do next.

-Danilo happens to be driving by and gets a call from Norberto. The signal is crappy, so he stops and gets out of the car, right across the road from Ale! The writers have fun toying with us, as both Dan and Ale have their backs turned to each other while he talks on the phone. Norbie informs Dan that he has to rehire Ale and German because Esteban is the boss and he says it has to be done. Dan agrees to it since Este is so influential, and they need his support. He hangs up, finally turns around, and squints hard at what he sees across the road. Viewerville has a mini heart attack! But all Dan sees is the truck and their sign about fresh juices. The couple has offered Ale a ride to San Jacinto and she’s hidden away in the back with the produce. Dan drives off in one direction, they drive off in the other.

Hola Reinamaniacs!! There's some fun stuff going on on our favorite novela BUT the curse of the Red Diamonds has taken effect - both NovelaMaven and I are going to be unavailable all or most of next week. Mauricio has kindly agreed to do NovelaMaven's Tuesday recap and NovelaMaven believes that she can do Thursday. That leaves Wednesday. If anyone could volunteer to recap Wednesday's episode, that would be awesome. Witty headings are completely optional and the recap can be short and sweet. If you've never done one, this is your big chance. It's really fun. Thanks in advance.

RECAP BY LA PALOMA RECAP BY LA PALOMA RECAP BY LA PALOMA
There could be missing details here and there, so feel free to add them at will. This is a straight account—hard to make it any funnier than what happened on screen.

Previously
La Gata, resigned to losing Pablo on the day of his wedding to Monica, stands gazing out the window. Los Hermanos Estupidos, in their spiffy new clothes, converse in the car. Pablo tells Mariano maybe he could offer Gata the life he couldn’t. Then, he gives up and tells his baffled bro to take him to the church.
The Wedding of the Year
A throng of people flaunt their festive attire on the church steps. A group of girls in bright aqua could be bridesmaids, while the bride’s mother wears red and groom’s mother orange-red. The fathers have switched from sporting wear to business suits. Don’t hold your breath for a wedding with every detail—we seem to hit only the high spots here.

-Esteban throws Norberto around the office and manages to give him a good gut punch before Cris breaks it up and yells at them both to calm down. She still refuses to back down on supporting German. Esteban tells her to leave the office, in a way that tells her she better do it. Norbie gulps, but luckily for him Esteban has calmed down enough to make his point with words, and not with fists. Norbie will never raise his hand to Esteban’s mujer again!

-Esteban can’t believe Norbie fired German and Alejandra. The Association meeting is coming up in a couple of days. Panicked growers are calling wondering if the meeting’s been cancelled. Esteban is the President, and HE makes the decisions! He’s also the one who does all the public relations, while German runs the operations, and Ale does all the administration (it’s clear that Norbie does nothing). Norbie admits that German was even going to write his speech for him. He seems to give in to Este’s order to hire back German and Ale.

(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

Amigos- I'm running to an early meeting, and I'm not sure if Gloria was able to do a recap last night. If she does, I'll post it here later.

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!

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #42 20141014 Dude, Your Mom is Smokin' Hot and I'm Feeling Light and Frisky


OK Coral:  Dani and Lucas go horseback riding.  They make-out everywhere.  The only thing that we learn from them is that Dani is a virgin and that Lucas will wait until she’s ready to have sex.  Their scenes were uneventful and were only useful for catching up on my notes on the other scene. 

Snob Hill:  Aurora runs into the kitchen and tells the family that Allan has arrived, but unfortunately he’s been beaten only within an inch of his life.  Greta calls a doctor. 

(Alexa’s Bedroom)  Alan explains to Greta, Fausto and Alexa that he was out scouting movie sets when he resisted a robbery attempt.   After Greta and Fausto leave, Alan tells Alexa that Manolo and his thugs beat him.  They are still in danger and have to leave town immediately!  Alexa says leaving town won’t cancel their debt.

Mi Corazon Es tuyo #62 Martes 14 Oct 2014 Hey Brujas!! how low can you go??

Refritos:


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

Alternate title: "AAAAARGH! He was so close to seeing Fela!!!"

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!

I'm working on the recap (no internet at home so I'm having to recap the morning after the show airs and I'm on the West Coast, sorry peeps!), feel free to discuss the episode in the mean time!

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.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #41 10/13/14 Broken Faces and Broken Hearts

This was a packed episode, lots of serious things going on as our story kicks into high gear. Sorry, I just couldn't think of snarky captions for the pictures.
 
From Friday:
After the dance show, Lupe' asks Paco if Sofia is more like her mother than her father.
Chava and Sofia talk before she goes home.
Alexa tries to call Alan but he doesn't answer.
Manolo's thugs punch and kick Alan.
 
 
New:
Now that all her daughters have gone out for the evening Greta realizes how big and empty the house feels. Fausto tell her she's experiencing empty nest syndrome. It was bound to happen sooner or later. As if in answer to her mother's sadness, Sofia comes through the front door. It's been a hard day. The workers were able to handle a crisis and now Pato and Silvana are finishing up at the factory. Greta notices a spot on Sofia's blouse. Sofia says she spilled a little of the tostado de pata she ate at Cuco's Place. "Tostado de Pata!??" Greta wrinkles her nose and waves her hand in disdain. Sofia tells them it was delicious! But she's had a hard day and now it's off to bed. Sofia runs upstairs. Greta wonders about the change in her daughter. Fausto thinks it's good for Sofia to try new things and have new and different experiences before she gets tied down to Pato.

La Malquerida, capitulo 36. 10/13/14.

Skipping the old.....

we're back at the fight and German aka big sexy questions Danilo on why he has possession of Ale's ring. Danilo says German has no right questioning him since he and Ale are no longer together. If he is in possession of it, it is because she gave it to him.

Esteban angrily walks towards Acacia and Ulises, then decides to slow his roll. He calls out her name and says he thought she no longer wanted to see Ulises. Acacia says they talked and worked it out. After all a girl can change her mind. Esteban says if she wants to believe Ulises, then he has nothing more to say and starts to leave. Ulises calls him back. He reiterates that what he told Acacia was the truth and he will demonstrate it. Esteban says he just needs to prove himself to her. If this is what she wants, he will respect her decision. If he breaks your heart again, I will be the first to be there for you.

German aka big sexy doesn't believe that Ale would give Danilo the ring. She never took it off. Danilo says he was the one that pulled her out of the hell hole she was in. (Ummm..not exactly as I remember. I believe you were the one who put her in hell, dipsh!t). so you know who abused her says German and starts fighting again with Danilo. Norberto runs up and breaks the fight. Norberto tells Danilo that he doesn't have to explain anything to German about his business. He no longer works for me or lives in my house. Danilo tells Norberto not to worry about it. They were having a discussion on his breakup with Ale. He's also jealous in my relationship with Ale. Do you think it's nothing replies German. I love Ale. Norberto says it's best they break up. That girl was a bad influence in German's life. German doesn't agree. He will always be grateful that she supported him. He walks off. Norberto says he was worried that German found out about Danilo's other business. Danilo assures him he will never tell anyone that Norberto visits one of his girls. I'm glad that you don't want Ale for your son. I want her for myself.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #40 10/10/4 Plots, Parties and Punches

Greta talks to Alan privately. Alan claims he knew nothing about Alexa taking the necklace and pawning it. Though they are a couple Alexa doesn't tell him everything. He offers to contact his family and get the money to buy the necklace back. Greta refuses his offer. She just wants Alan to keep taking care of Alexa the way he has been. The Ripoll family will get the necklace back and give Alexa money so she and Alan can go back to Spain. Greta even offers to send financial support to Alan whenever he needs it. (I have to ask: What evil creature snuck into Greta's bedroom at night and sucked out all her brains? If Pato doesn't bankrupt the Ripoll's, Alan will.)
 
At the factory Sofia is on the phone trying to work out a deal with Ripoll's northern distributor, Mr. Armendarez, to replace the shipment of chocolate that was lost in the truck accident. Sofia tells him they can replace the shipment in a few days, but not overnight. Amendarez gets angry and abruptly hangs up on her. Sofia can't believe it! Pato tells Sofia that she's under too much stress. Isn't it time for her to let him handle things? He'll take over for now and she can plan their wedding.

Oh No, Bro'! Say It Ain't Sooooooo!!!!!!!

Cap. 60

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.

La Malqurida, capitulo 35. 10/10/14

Skipping the old.........

Rubio asks Ale is she is going to work today. She pretty much tells him to mind his own and Rosa backs her up. Luisa tells him to go back to work. Rubio comments that all the women have attitudes today. Rosa asks him to accompany her to her room. She needs help with something and drags him by the ear when he protests. Ale asks Luisa what's with the 20 questions from Rubio? Luisa doesn't know either. He even asked her what time German left last night. But she didn't tell him. The girls share a giggle on German's escape from the window. Luisa gets a call and it's Arturo.

Manuel tells German aka big sexy about his new business idea and how Norberto is backing him up. He even talked to Norberto about his painting. Manuel wants to know if German found out why Ale broke up with him. German has a smile on his face and says they are back together. The reconciliation was the best thing that could have happened to him. Ale demonstrated just how much she loves me. We made love with such passion that it surprised me. I always thought something really bad happened to her. You still think she was abused asks Manuel. I believe that more and more lately replies German. But she doesn't want to tell me. I am in love with her and don't know much about her. I know nothing about her past or her family. The only thing she has ever told me was about her little brother that died. It must be terrible to lose a brother says Manuel. But after everything that happened she must tell you about herself. You have every right to know since you are together. Ask her to be honest with you. Especially since it is you who would understand anything.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #39 Pato's Plans Starts in Motion

Our dear Mads is under the weather. So here is a quick and dirty recap from memory of Thursday night's episode:

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!!

Mariano's Opening Credit Tears-Explained!
Big brother convinces Pablo that he needs to marry Monica because daddy dear is in deep doo doo and only the social support of the Elizalde's (or some such name) will help. Later Mariano moans about what a bad brother he is. He's in love with the same woman as his little brother! And he convinced his little brother to marry a woman he doesn't love so Esme will be freed up for him! He can finally look at her as a woman and not as a sister-in-law!

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 Malquerida #34, 10/9/2014: Splendor in the Guestroom

Mexico Episode #39

Amigos,

Poor Madelaine has had a relapse of the flu and is going to the hospital to get rehydrated. Please send all your positive and healing thoughts her way. Here is a quick mini-cap from memory. Enjoy!

Since Mads is always giving us great ear-worms to take with us throughout the day, I thought I'd provide one in the form of a fan video for our star-crossed lovers Alejandra and German, to the tune of Sabes by Reik.

Ale and German:
-German, aka Big Sexy, has made his way into Ale’s bedroom and her arms. In the midst of a passionate kiss and embrace, he disarms her apprehensions and fears by saying simply that he loves her. They make love, as he caresses the scar on her face and kisses her tenderly on her cheek, neck, and then lips. (Uni cut out some of this, of course.)
-As they bask in the afterglow, German suddenly grows serious. He thinks now is the time for them to speak with the truth, and nothing but the truth. Alejandra closes in on herself and says this should have never happened. German calls b.s. on that. He loves her. She loves him. They’ve just had an amazing love-making session. She’s a grown woman and they should be able to speak about this. He never expected to be the first man in her life—they aren’t living in the last century, after all. He talks about how at first she was afraid of even letting him touch her. But he’s happy to know that in addition to all the love they have for each other, they can also feel pleasure. He thinks it’s good for a woman to both be able to give and receive pleasure. He would like Ale to tell him what’s going on/what happened. He can’t help her if she doesn’t tell him. Ale snaps that she doesn’t need help!

Mi corazon es tuyo, #59, 09/10/14 Yo, mamma!


This is mostly bullet points style, there were a lot of short scenes that I put together for better flow. I hope it all makes sense.

Ana hears a voice singing her mother’s song, as she remembers being a little child and watching her mom sing and play the guitar (fun trivia – little Ana is played by Pablo Montero’s real daughter; look closely and you will see the resemblance).
Yes, the person singing in present time is Yolanda’s and Carmen Salinas is doing her best to do justice to the song, but she doesn’t have the voice for it (if Yolanda truly is the mother, then her voice really transformed over the years).
Ana walks into the room and stares at Yolanda, who’s wondering what’s wrong, has the nana seen a ghost? Kind of… 
Ana doesn’t reply, she just leaves, she is just too shocked right now.

Sisterly advice
Fanny finds Alicia’s scrapbook with I heart Gustavo written all over and tries to warn her little sister that the guy is bad news. But Alicia thinks that she knows better and he will NOT hurt her the same way that he hurt Fanny. (Ugh, Alicia, Isa’s obnoxiousness is rubbing off on you. Careful!).
Fanny thinks that Alicia should be interested in boys her own age, but then she gets interrupted by Enreek's call, confirming their date/ creepy meet up. 
Fanny needs to run, please don’t forget not to hang out with older boys, mmmkay, Lichita?

La Gata #29- Thu 10/9 - La Afrenta

Silencioso reminds Esme that everything he does is for her to get Pablo back.  From across the street, Pablo watches.  Esme accuses Silencioso of trying to use her to get his revenge on Pablo and his family.  He says that Augie has to "responder" (answer) for his crimes.  Pablo has to answer to Esme for his crimes as well.  He knows it was difficult for her to tell Pablo she wasn't going to see him again, but he hopes she'll feel differently tomorrow.  Esme says she won't change her mind.  It hurts too much to hurt Pablo.  Silencioso hugs Esme to comfort her and Pablo says he really loves Esme, but she's just a tramp.

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

Mariano sees that Lorenza is wearing a groove in the marble floor and asks her to confide in him.  She tells him that she's worried because a man his dad had thrown in jail is out now and wants revenge.  Mariano doesn't see what the big deal is because his dad is perfect, right?  He tells her to calm down and stop crying.  Once he leaves, Lorenza says she knows there's suffering on the way.

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

Refritos:


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)

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?

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 Malquerida, capitulo 31. 10/06/14. Esteban is sinking deeper into crazyville.

 Skipping the old..........

Esteban gets onto Cris for allowing Acacia to seek out Ulises. He always finds a way for Acacia to go back to him. Cris tries to explain that Acacia went to seek the truth about what she saw at the event. Esteban tells her she has no idea what Acacia went through seeing Ulises and Nuria together. How humiliated she felt. Cris feels she and Acacia made the right decision. In regards to Ulises, I will stand by her side.

Acacia looks in the window and see Nuria telling Ulises it's time for bed. She's about to knock on the door, but Rubio stops her. He warns her she might not like what she encounters if she goes in. he offers to go instead and punch Ulises. She decides it's best to leave.

Luisa comes back happy from the event she and Arturo catered. She sees Rosa with a long face and asks if something happened to Manuel. Instead she gets a slap in the face. When she asks what's the slap for, Rosa says for lying. You were never in a relationship with Manuel. He said he would never be in a relationship with a servant.

La Gata #26 10/06/2014 Miss Kitty goes to the ball

Hi all-this will be quick and dirty but I think I'll be able to cover everything:

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?
Whatever the case may be Rita helped or was part of a plot to kill a friend, and not just that but she took a small baby and used her as a pay check. May you burn in telenovela hell Rita.

That's all I have folks!
