TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: REINA DE CORAZONES -- PAGE TWO -- Week of November 10, 2014

-->
 Miércoles – Parte Uno

ORBO and Estefi are brought into CIA headquarters by FELS and Esmeeth. ORBO didn’t think this was how he was going to have a talk with Esmeeth. FELS tells Estefi that he needs to talk to her. She asks if this is part of the interrogation. “Take her away,” orders FELS. [Why is he allowed to be anywhere near her?]

Susana comes into Juanjo’s bedroom and sees him in bed, asleep with his arm around Connie. They’re dressed but she is shocked.

Dra Moto takes off her shirt. In comes Laz with the baby. He hastily looks the other way while she covers herself. She explains that she about to take a bath since she was working all night. “Well, not all night,” corrects Laz. Laz says that what happened between them should never happen again. Moto agrees.

Juanjo and Connie wake up hung over. “Did they really sleep together?” asks Connie. “Shhh. Don’t say that,” replies JJ and then finds a note from Susana congratulating him or getting together with Connie. She wrote that he is better than Christián and Connie is better than Yoli.

Mi corazon es tuyo.. #83 Nov 12 2014... If Fer could turn back time... but Ana says not so fast, i was door no. 2 but you dont get to pick me after you chose door no.1 and didn't like what was there

Refritos:


Nando spooked by Edith, he would want to rip her pierced earring off her nose but is afraid he will end up with snot in his hands… she warns he would die trying. Rosita calls Nando and he runs out on everyone.

Ana reminds Fernando that Diego is also a player in this script. Fernando insists that Ana should not stay with Diego if she doesn’t love him. Ana asks ‘what do you know about what I feel?’

F: So you love him? Tell me! You love him?

Lo Nuevo:

A: it doesn’t matter what I feel for Diego. You broke my heart! You!

F: If you can swear to me right now that you can be completely happy with Diego, I will gladly step aside and give up on your love for the rest of my life. Go ahead!

A: Lets see.. He (Diego) has been the only one that has been by my side all the time… he has done for me things no one else has.

F: Ana, I know Diego too well. He has always run away from long term commitments. He has never dreamed of forming a family! Ana, what happened so many years ago with Fanny Sr was not my fault.

A: Lets see. Fanny Sr, RIP, was Diego’s GF. And you got in the middle there!

F: Ana, I did not get in the middle. Love does not end overnight. Of course there were reasons for her to stop loving him. They were not compatible. She ended their relationship!

(‘who was Mrs Estefania?’ ‘She was my brother’s wife’)

A: You got in the middle! They were a couple and he loved her!! Your brother loved her! And you went after your brother’s girl!

F: Lets see, I did not go after her! I did not get in the middle! She was free! She first ended it with Diego! And later, the love between us could not be hidden. We were together 20 years. We had 7 kids desired and loved! I don’t regret the relationship I had with Fanny Sr. I don’t regret it.

(‘was that true?’ ‘Yes!’)

F: Ana, the relationship was wearing out because their interests were not the same. My brother is not stable. He was a womanizer. Even while they were still dating, he was unfaithful to her. He swore he was madly in love and was unfaithful. That is why she ended it with him. That is why I did not get in the middle!

(‘ is that true too?’ ‘Yes!’)

La Malquerida #58, 11/12/14: A Night of Confessions!

Mexico Episode #64

After Hector confesses to still being in love with Cris while hugging her, Esteban rushes in, pulls them apart and starts punching. Hector gives as good as he gets, and Cris gets between them and orders them to stop. They stop long enough for Este to manhandle Cris, and for Hector to fuss at him for doing so and say that this was not Cris’ fault. Este is not listening. He scuffles with Hector some more, then drags Cris out of there. Hector calls himself an idiot.

Norberto has been out all night with Julianita and they are making out in his car. He decides to buy her some expensive perfume, and they make out some more in public on the street in front of the shop. German catches them, and goes off on Norberto about betraying his mother and about his moral double standards. Norberto yells that German is nobody to judge him. “Yes I am-- I’m your son!” WHAP! Norberto whacks German across the face with his closed fist. German leaves with angry tears in his eyes, warning Norb that he won't let him hurt his mother. (Well, that was a short reconciliation.)

Out on the street, Cris insists that Este let her go and not treat her this way. She says that regardless of what Hector may feel for her, she only sees him as a friend. She has never betrayed Este, not even in her thoughts (he certainly can’t say the same). She would never cheat on him. Este refuses to believe it, says he doesn’t want to listen to lies, and demands that she cancel the art show and stop seeing Hector. “If you see him again, then forget about me.” “Very well then. Go.” (Woohoo! You go, Cris.)

La Gata #53 - Wed 11/12 - La Comedia

At Casa Silencioso, Mercedes bullies Esme into eating some breakfast.  Despite the huge table, there are only, what, six? places set.  And Esme's saying "What, are we feeding the entire colonia this morning?"  Even the arrival of Fela doesn't snap Esme out of her grouchy mood.  Fela is convinced Fernando will be able to spring Pablo.

The cops apparently called Rita to testify.  Why?  Fernando asks why she wants to hurt Pablo.  Rita told the cops that Pablo has "ojeriza" (dislike) for Meatball.  Rita whines about her achy joints when Fernando says his lawyers will be calling her to "rectificar" (fix , clarify …not take it back) her testimony.  While Fernando thinks Pablo has screwed up royally, whatever Esme wants, Esme gets!  And it would do Rita well to remember that she's not dealing with the old Don Fernando, but El Silencioso.  And El Sil does not forgive.

La Malquerida #57, 11/11/14

Mexico Episode 63

All- I did a ffwd through the Uni version and realized that they showed a whole episode. No cutting or combining. Who knows what they have planned for the next few weeks.

Cris’ angry/perplexed reaction to finding Acacia and Estebone all alone cuddled up on the hillside is sidelined when Acacia runs to her arms crying about Palomino’s death. Acacia then says she doesn’t want to talk about it and runs off. The first of a series of fights between Cris and Este begins. The short version: Cris calls Este out for not telling her something so important that happened to her daughter. He throws in her face that she was off doing lord knows what with Hector. Cris slaps him! How dare he insult her that way!

Later, the family and friends at Benavente have a little memorial in the living room for Palomino (his ashes in a box Acacia holds). Acacia basically speaks out loud to her father about losing this piece of him, but then publicly thanks Esteban for being there for her like a second father. She takes his hand and then gives him one of those full body hugs. Cris looks on, and she does not look pleased. She takes Acacia to her bedroom for a chat.

Cris asks Acacia why lately she goes to Este first with all her problems and not her, her mother? She says she wants to spend more time with Acacia, and that Acacia should come to her first with her issues. Acacia points out that Cris wanted her to get close to Este. She used to hate him because she thought he wanted to take all that was her father’s, and now she loves/cares for (querer) him. She thought that’s what Cris wanted. Cris says yeah, but I’M YOUR MOTHER! Acacia tells her not to be jealous (note that she means Cris shouldn’t be jealous of Este, while we in the audience know it should be Cris being jealous of Acacia). She tells Cris things she would never tell Este, like that she kissed Manuel. “Que, que?!!” Cris is shocked and ticked off. She scolds Acacia for kissing Manuel when she knows she doesn’t have feelings for him and is just leading him on—doesn’t matter if she was tipsy. Now Cris thinks Este might have been right to forbid Acacia and Manuel from seeing each other. Acacia is ticked off that either one of them would forbid her seeing Manuel.

Mi corazon es tuyo #82 11/11/2014 Ana and Fernando have a rare heart to heart (or as close as they manage) talk, but they don't know Diego has seen and heard it all.

Refritos:


Ana and Fernando trying to convince the chief of police that the cop brought them over in a whim. Ana and Fernando have to argue that they have the right to make one call. Meanwhile Diego and Natalialll he would have wanted to be there to support her… she replies you can support me now.

Ana finally gets through to Diego and tells him she and Fernando are in jail. Diego impactado.

Lo Nuevo:

Johnny is watching TV about some contest of phone receipt/invoice with the highest number will win 1 Million pesos. Johnny gets excited… so is Sebastian when Johnny tells him about it.

Ana asks Diego to ask at the house about Bruno… who is at the hospital for having lost his memory.

Fernando keeps trying to convince the chief of police that he and Ana are not thugs. The cops keep stereotyping them as ‘los ricos’. Ana not appreciating being categorized along with Fernando.

Reeky tells Isa that things turned better than planned. Linda arrives at Reeky’s… she wants to continue celebrating. Reeky tells Linda that Isa is in the team as well. Fernando asked for divorce so she is in vengeance mode too. Surely you will put Reeky at the Prez spot. He will replace Fernando. However, Linda wants to keep a low profile. She is putting Reeky at the Prez spot, but so that he can watch for her interests. Glad to do business with you. Linda leaves. In comes Laura, and Linda gives her a snotty look. Reeky hides Isa. Laura comes in …

Fanny and Edith arrive at the house to the news about Bruno and that Fernando and Ana are missing in action. Luz impactada about Edith’s appearance (is she a vampire?... no, look a here, no fangs!)

Bruno calls Fanny to delegate to her to follow up with Bruno while he goes to the jail. He tells her Ana and Fer were arrested together. He will handle that.

Fanny gets a bit alarmed that Johnny has been delegated to watch the boys… they are playing water gun war in the boys room. They are mangling and watering down Johnny.

Nando arrives, a bit upset about XIme… FF>> Edith feels like playing a little scaring game with him. Nando not in the mood.

Diego leaves Natalia behind to deal with the jail issue. He only tells Natalia that the story about Fanny Sr is repeating itself with Ana. Natalia shocked that Diego left his brilliant and fun career behind for a woman like Ana, who has none of the same lifestyle as him. Natalia asks if Ana is willing to go with him and renounce to everything she has.. no, right? (Diego wants to go now…)

In jail cell Fernando is pacing around. Ana is upset, looking away. Chief of police is watching a video of them. He is amused that at first they could not shut up and now they are not saying a word.

La Malquerida, capitulo 56. 11/10/14

Ale is walking alone outside when Danilo walks up. In greeting she gives him a b!tchslap and he returns it. Ale doesn't care since he failed in killing German. He laughs and says he didn't fail. If I wanted to kill him, I would have. I didn't kill him because I then wouldn't have anything to control you with. First it was his capataz, next could be his brother. Or perhaps your friend, Acacia. How many more deaths do you want on your conscience?

Mystery girl covers Ulises up and runs off to hide. Memo is supporting his friend as they look to find Ulises and mystery girl. They walk past the mystery girl and she rushes over to an unconscious Ulises urging him to stay with her.

Norberto pays a visit to German. He acknowledges that he took out his anger on German whenever things were going bad for him. Such as problems with his mother. He cries and promises never to mistreat him again. Can you forgive me he begs. Of course replies German and they hug it out. You are my father replies German. Norberto acknowledges he never supported German's paintings because....but doesn't finish his thought. I wanted you to be like me says Norberto. I ask that you forgive me for ruining your paintings.

La Gata #51 11/10/2014 Never,ever, threaten to kill someone

Okay peeps, this will be quick because I have a lot of work to get to today!

Esmeralda has taken Fela outside to keep her away from Lorenza, inside the house Low demands to speak to Fernando, even after Mercedes tells her that he wont see her and that it would be best if she left. Low, will not budge and finally Fernando graces her with his presence, she explains that she is there to beg for mercy for her sick husband, he can't take away their money, they need it! Fer does not care, he tells her his wife was in need of mercy and they denied her that and he will do the same to them, Low then gets on her knees to beg but Fernando is not moved (although Mercedes looks horrified), Low finally realizes she won't get anywhere and goes home with her tail between her legs.

The Crypt Keeper:

I think at this point the Meatball understands that he wont be getting anything from Esmeralda so he pays Rita a few pesos to ensure that Esmeralda goes to see him. Rita is trash and I don't care what silly love story they give her this lady is bad news, there's a song by Pepe Aguilar that has a line "tu solo te mueves por dinero"- or "you only move for money" and that's a pretty good description of Rita, as long as she gets what she wants she will sell anyone out. Witch.

Capitulo 81:  House of Cards

However, he stood up and told her not to bother; he was resigning.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: REINA DE CORAZONES -- PAGE ONE -- Week of November 10, 2014

Friends: NovelaMaven had already written the text below when we decided that I would do the post this week so that I can put tonight's episode for Caroline in the post instead of in the comments because I am going to do a 3-fer for what I hope is the last time. See you in the comments!!

Jean

My dear Reinamaniacs:

Hold on for dear life! Our wild ride is careening to a premature end!  We have, what, two weeks to go?  It looks as if tonight and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) will be triple episodes and then we'll get doubles right up to the end.

We have two new crazies in the mix -- Alicia aka The Cobra and Secret Agent Number 69 aka Julio César Blanco.

We left Moto and Laz in the middle of their hastily contrived civil wedding.  What's wrong with Moto?  Is she having a panic attack?  Or is there something more nefarious going on?

We met and said goodbye to the Mysterious Emperatriz Picasso all in the course of a night or two and learned about her quasi-incestuous past with FELS-PELS-GELS.

We discovered that Big O was an impostor -- Original Recipe Big O had been locked away in a psychiatric hospital for  years!

BSC Estefanía has conquered her fear of guns and shot her way out of the manicomio!

Asunción finally knows that FELS is her long-lost son Gregorio Pérez.  Unfortunately, before she has had a chance to process this knowledge, she has been kidnapped by Crazy Agent 69, the writers' writer who can no longer draw a line between reality and fiction.

And now, the Queen of Hearts herself has fallen into Crazy 69's clutches!

Will the Dragon save the day?

Oh the horror-- chewed up shoes!!  “--¡ANA!!!” Ana and the kids try hiding Siete in the twins’ bedroom.  Nando states the obvious: Don Fernando will kill Ana for bringing home that dog.  (In unison, class.  Cancela!  Cancela! Cancela!)

DF continues sneezing and yelling at her alternately.  (Okay, so the guy is so obtuse he’s apparently never heard of allergy shots.) “—Salud!”   Siete tries taking matters into his own hands, however, and after racing out of the bedroom and down into the living room, he  stands up and begs for mercy from Don Hielo.  (Premio for El Siete!  Bravo!! Premio!  Premio!  A Puppy Premio!)  The kids and Ana are all in torment. “—But he’ll die back out on the streets, living in an alley!”  (Gr-r-r-r-r!)

My Dear Reinamaniacs:

Here's a new page for the weekend.  Make yourselves at home here -- laugh, wail, rant, o lo que sea -- while I try to make some sense of Friday's triple episode.  

For now, please enjoy Anita's brilliant creation that was posted on Thursday, but that some of you may have missed in the embarrassment of riches that is Page Two:

THE WISDOM OF THE DRAGON
Subtitled: I Cannot Reveal Who is Making This Up

WEEK SIXTEEN – Mon Oct 20

He who hesitates when facing a dragon, loses.

When el llamado de la sangre regarding dragona daughters is in doubt and he doesn’t believe the child’s mother, a dragon can turn to DNA; but should be skeptical about believing the results.

A Dragon trusts no one, not even science. (See prior entry).

A Dragon always greets his mother with a drawn gun.

A Dragon can survive torture, as long as he remembers all the other things that were done to him that were worse (like abandonment in a church as an infant and being raised in an orphanage).

Labels:


La Gata #50 Friday 11/7/14 La Visita

Here's a link to the latest entry in the La Gata soundtrack: Todo lo que soy. A duet with Alex Ubago.

On with the show:

Damian presents FDLSC with legal paperwork. The legal team wants to request that the courts freeze Augie's assets. Since they will be able to show that FDLSC is the real owner of the MN assets, a judge will most likely grant that. All they need to do is deposit some bond or fee or something (they used the word "fianza" so clearly not bail. I friggin' hate having to recap legal crap.) FDLSC tells Damian to proceed.

La Gata #49 Thursday 11-6-14 Lowrenza and Augie declare war; Pablo, Mariano and Virginia declare Independence!


We rejoin Pablo and Esme in a rare moment of intimacy, their souls joined at the lips.  She breaks the kiss complaining that his parents will never accept her and she can’t wait all her life.  She wants to marry a good man and have a normal life!   Like with El Italiano?  Pablo asks.   At least he’s done something for my daughter unlike you who hasn’t shown me any of this money you are supposedly earning!  Pablo looks incredulous, almost amused.
 
Quick cut to El Italiano and Rita in his shop.  Rita wonders when he’s going to make wedding preparations.  El Italiano says Gata will never marry him.  Lupe is glad El Italiano has come to his senses.  In bursts Pablo who is no longer looking amused.  He slugs El Italiano for letting Esme think it was his money that paid for the hospital bill.   He falls back and Lupe catches him.  Having been warned to stay out of it, Lupe flings El Italiano back and Pablo slugs him again telling him if he keeps up this lie he swears he will kill him!  [Admit it, didn’t that feel good!]
 
Now we are with Mariano and Augustin discussing strategy in the counter offensive against Fernando.   Augustine discovers he holds title to land that includes the town dump!  A light bulb goes on in Augustine’s beady eyes:  he will get back at Fernando by throwing La Gata and everyone else out of the basuerero!
 
Back to the pizza shop where El Italiano screams at Pablo that La Gata is afraid of him, that he will take the babies from her.  We are treated to Pablo yelling at him one more time, forget about the wedding and tell her the truth or I swear I’ll kill you.

Mi corazon es tuyo, #79, Thursday And Siete makes eight



Fernando tells Ana that her mom’s full name is Soledad Fuentes. Ana is happy to learn what her real name should be. (I wonder where Leal comes from, did the monjitas give it to her?) But before the news has any time to sink in, Doroteo el Feo shows up at the house, wanting to talk to Don Fernando about the money Ana owes him. Ana is freaked out, but thankfully Fanny is there and distracts Fer with some school papers that he needs to sign. This gives Ana the chance to talk to Doroteo and beg him not to say anything. Somehow the lecherous weasel agrees and goes to wait for Ana outside.
Now freed from Fanny, Fernando asks Doroteo to call next time and never show up at his house again.
In the street Doroteo tells Ana that he found out about her second job by following Jonny (apparently he has one of his teams of goons on Jonny at all times) and since her other boss doesn’t know about her job at Chicago, this seems like the best opportunity for some good old-fashioned blackmail. Ana can forget about making calculations to see how much money she still owes him, because he just decided to reinstate the full debt, no matter that Ana actually worked her butt off (literally, ahem) to pay him back.
Doroteo has her cornered and she knows it. This would be the best moment for her to TELL FERNANDO THE TRUTH!

After she gets rid of Doroteo Ana goes to Fer’s office and he tells her that he doesn’t like that man coming to his home, where his kids are (fair enough). He wants to know what that was all about and why is Ana involved with such characters and owns them money, too. Ana makes up an excuse about the money being borrowed by Jonny for them back when they were dating; and since Jonny doesn’t have a job now she feels like she needs to help him. Fer tells her that Jonny will start working for him as a handyman around the house, so he should be able to chip in, too. He also asks her if she needs a loan, but Ana refuses (because every good natured telenovela girl will always refuse money from good, respectable men, but always somehow get tricked into accepting blood money from the villains).
Getting back to Ana’s mom, Fernando tells her that his investigations also brought to light some other pieces of information – apparently Soledad was in jail for 18 years, but not for premeditated murder; there was no intent from her part, so she was convicted for involuntary manslaughter (I hope I got this right, basically Fer says that she killed a man by accident). This makes Ana feel better, but this is all the good news that Fer has for now; since Soledad has been released from prison 14 years ago, the prison has no other information about her.
Ana thanks Fer for his help and for trusting her and then Fer sneezes, because we need to be reminded that there is a dog in the house and Fer is allergic to furry ones.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap

  • Chava lays in a hospital bed and Lupe lets her emotions out; she was worried about him. Marisol says Chava really loved playing Superhero. Chavita then says he got hurt because he was defending Don Paco; their future father. Marisol asks, "What do you mean future father?" Lupe changes the subject and Chava follows suit but Lupe didn't raise a fool; Marisol demands to know what he meant by future father. He explains and she takes it that he is dizzy from the medicine. Lupe defends herself and reminds Mari that when Mari called him, the jerk of their real father Javier just hang up!




  • Ugh, speak of the devil, he's guitaring in a cantina and everyone rebuffs him; he's a nuisance to society and after pulling himself aside, proceeds to drink his beloved alcohol.

IrkMe comes and intervened so OhSoSexyInGreenArmie tells him to go watch TV while IrkTheHellOutOfMe and him have a talk. Armie is trying to let the kid know what he has to know the easy way and IrkMe takes it that he is justtrying to run off with Alexa. Armie says she has nothing to do with this situation; he is leaving IrkMe porque le falto el respeto durante ocho (8) anos! She needs to understand that she's shoved Armie away the most she possibly ever could and he is trying to hurt Nandito the least he possibly can due to their separation. IrkMe says she is going to come off as the witch (bitch) of the story and Armie says he isn't going to hurt her verbally now get off his dick! (my words, not his!)

  • Renzi and Pato gloat over their evil actions.

  • Las Hermanas y Mama Ripoll have dinner;


Greta-"Hace mucho tiempo de que no cenamos sin discutir."
Alexa- "I'm Lovin' it! It's also looking like our last dinner with Sofia."
Sofia- "I'm going to visit hiffer-and-fiffer."
Alexa-"Yay!"
Daniela-"This is all a lie!"
Greta-"Daniela, what did you say? (And so it begins...)
Daniela-" The vibe is perfect, the company of us gals tonight is perfect but the food is horrible."
Alexa-"La monstrua tiene razon, eh?" (Does she call Dani Monstrua after the cartoon and fabulous doll collection Monster High?)
Daniela-"Eldest Sis, chime in when you're ready!"
Sofia-"Aurora tried/tries her best but keep in mind she isn't the cook here."
Daniela-"No one cooks better than Miguelina."
Greta-"You've just ruined everything."
Daniela-"This must run in the family; first YOU fire Miguelina and then Sofia fires Salvador!"
Alexa-"You fired Salvador?"
Sofia-"(Carita de Yo No Fui)"

  • Matias is helping Chava in with Lupe (I guess he was dispatched but remains somewhat dizzy.) Lucas has come to check on Chava and Marisol apologizes for having been a bitch to him (to quote Mamma Mia!- Just one look and I was smitten with you! Long story short, I guess all it took was a flash of his biceps and Marisol realized what the pretty packaging she was about to toss out.)
  • Back to dinner with the R4, Alexa chides Sofi and lets her know she's throwing away a really good guy! Fausto agrees. Moreover, Alexa asks Sofia for the opportunity to work at the Ripollery and access is granted (SQUEE!)
  • IrkMe has gotten a call that Paco's shop was assaulted and Chava was hurt; Armie uses this as his chance to go out running and IrkMe JUST THIS ONCE is the voice of reason in which she says, "Let me call Paco, he'll inform us more about this" but Armie's already out the door!
  • Paco and 'Celi are with Tavares and their aghasted-ness of the town being overrun with thieves and quasi-murderers is quite present!
  • Chava  is colored surprised at how Luc. is such friends with Marisol who brushes him off (He was a thief once but I doubt he ever purloined virginity malicefully) Matias thankfully lets Chava know that Luc. has been working hard to the Ripollery. Mati goes to answer the door and it's Armie who ran all the way to Chava's! He asks if Chava is OK and Chava responds maybe with another tamale. Bro-Hugs.
  • Sofi lays in bed thinking about Chava and Fausto startles her! He apologizes but he had put all together why Sofi fired Chava. She's glad he is OK though.
  • -Theme Song-
  • Luc. and Armie head out and Chava says he'll walk them out.
  • Dani calls Miguelina; She misses 'Lina and not just because Aurora cooks awful. 'Lina tells her about Lucas's schooling and she is proud and really wants to talk with him but he doesn't sadly and is at Marisol's. Daniela- "Marisol's..."
  • Chava cautions Lucas to be careful walking home at night.
  • Greta agrees with Dani that Aurora cooks awful. Fausto lets it slip that Chava was hurt at Paco's shoppe and she worries about Paco.
  • Silvie and Pato are in bed and Pato suspects that BilgeRat Paco is Sofia's father. Silvie asks where did he get that Paco is Sofi's father from? Pato (I keep almost typing Paco and that's a funny thought since Paco and Silvie were Uncle and Niece in La Tempestad) responds with. "It's elementary my dear Silvie." Silvie says it must run in the family and chortles like no one's business. (All the while she is sucking on Pato's toes literally!) Just pure PILLOW TALK throughout this scene.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #78 At this rate Ana will complete the puzzle of her mom by the time she collects social security ... Johnny gets a new job... and the mansion gets a new pet

Refritos:


Repeat of Nando giving Ana the laptop. Repeat of Reeky saying goodbye to Fernando. Repeat of part of the moving convo between Fernando and Alicia.

Lo Nuevo:

In the homework room the kids tell Fernando about an online contest they want to enter to try to win some money (1 Million pesos, about $50K) to help out Leon. Fernando agrees to let them enter the contest.

Jenny in kitchen asks Manuela to teach her how to fix healthier foods for Nico. Manuela happy to help.

The plumbing under the sink begins to leak pretty fast and furious.

Johnny is at the door. He asks Manuela to see if he can talk to Fernando to try to get a job through him. Manuela invites Johnny to eat some of her stew.

Isa at Reeky’s is nagging she has been waiting for him for hours. He shows her the photo shopped result. She is impressed. He gets a call in his cell. It is Laura. He explains who it is to Isa. Isa can’t believe he is adding another ‘little girl’ to his list. ( Meanwhile in the bus Laura is hoping that Reeky will be her ticket to continue at the University. ) Isa tells Reeky that the baby is Fernando’s, not his.

Johnny helps Bruno and Manuela out in the kitchen. (I will skip the comic choreography)

Fernando talks to Ana in her room. She is so glad he was able to talk to Alicia. She is so proud of him, very beautiful words he said. She makes him blush. He wants to hear what happened with her mom. She gets upset.. tells him Diego discovered her mom’s name is Soledad. (we see a woman polishing her nails… turns out to be Soledad, but we don’t see her face. Only hear her voice and her singing voice singing the Ana song… but with the ‘today’ voice… there is a certificate on the wall for Soledad Fuentes from Mexiquense school… praising her performance at a ‘Sing together’ campaign… seems she might have made a career as a singer… this woman has a very nice manicure set and another guitar. She looks well off, although not quite as well as the Lascurains) Ana gets real sad and after a few attempts from Fernando and some caressing of her chin and hair, she finally tells him that her mom was in jail for killing someone. Fernando gives her a great comforting hug. She says she had been looking for her mom all her life and she turns out a killer. Fernando asks ‘are you sure?’ everything will be alright. I am with you. Ana is embarrassed that he found out. He is really moved and his eyes are teary.

La Gata #48 - Wed 11/5 - La Injusticia

Esme reads Carlos the riot act for absconding with a minor.  She gives up when confronted with his big, stupid heart and says she'll do what she can to help.

Days later….

Lorenza, faking concern, is yelling at the cops, but since, as far as they're concerned Virginia ran off with her boyfriend....*shrug*...the cop thinks they have bigger fish to fry.  Lorenza seriously tells him if they just follow her orders, they'll find her daughter.

Carlos leaves Virginia in Ines' care while he goes out to sell chicle.  The cops pull up while he's out, two cars of them, with sirens blazing and everything, to arrest him.

Leti's going to be out of the hospital soon and Pablo tries to talk to Esme about moving out of Rita's and letting him, you know, actually be a responsible parent and provide her and the babies with a home.  He makes the mistake of invoking the Meatball and upsetting Esme.  She tells him there's never going to be anything between them and then changes the subject to Virginia.  Since he promises he won't do anything against the person she's with, she tells him where Virginia is.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones -- page two -- Week of November 3, 2014

Reina de Corazones, Tuesday, November 4, 2014 -- capítulos 101, 102, 103: 

If it weren't for Dr. Mala Suerte, the Dragon family would have no luck at all.

My dear Reinamaniacs,
This recap got absurdly long when I tried to incorporate all three episodes in one.  I hope you are okay with meeting on a separate page just this once.  It was simply too unwieldy to chop the thing up and load it into comment boxes.

[Cut scenes are bracketed and in blue.] 

The Reina is in Spain... 
And it's the first time we've ever seen Victor in anything but black.  Victor tells Reina and Navier that Lopez was shot twice, the kill shot through the head suggesting a mafia hit.  At first, he thought it was the work of The Organization, but now he's thinking it could well have been Estefi who gave the order.

Nothing will ever erase my memories of Chava's kisses except a Brillo Pad!
 

Sophia fondly remembers Chava's kisses while enjoying a relaxing bubble bath.  Meanwhile downstairs in the office, Patrick suggests to Greta that Sophia's biological father might be behind the mystery telegram.  Greta disagrees.  Sophia's father never knew about his daughter.     When Patrick brings up the name of a man named Francisco Fernandez, Greta almost leaps out of her skin.  Franciso claims that Octavio and Coria stole the recipes and products from him.

La Malquerida, capitulo 52. 11/04/14. Esteban needs a cold one.

Skipping the old....

Esteban and Acacia go to the reception desk to ask for another room. Unfortunately, they are booked up, but offer to put in another bed. Esteban declines and calls Cris.

Hector finds out from Cris that Esetban and Acacia went alone on the trip to the city. Cris explains that she didn't want to miss the meeting with him. Her phone rings and it's Esteban telling Cris about the confusion with the room. Since he thought she was accompanying him, he only reserved one room and forgot to arrange two instead. Cris asks to speak with Acacia and asks her if it's okay if the hotel would put in another bed for Esteban. Acacia doesn't have a problem. She hands the phone over to Esteban and Cris says to just put in another bed since Acacia doesn't have a problem with it. (Hector's eyes almost pop out at hearing this). Esteban says he doesn’t' want to inconvenience Acacia and would just sleep in the car. Esteban needs to rush off to the meeting and will call her back later. Hector continues talking business then offers to make her a cup of coffee.

Esteban says he doesn't mind sleeping in the car. Acacia will not hear of it. They will be roommates tonight. Esteban is gracious for the offer but doesn't want to inconvenience her. Acacia would feel bad if he had to sleep in the car. She says it would only bother her if he snore loudly. They have a good laugh and he says how he likes to see her laugh again. Acacia says she sometimes feels empty and that the pain will not go away. But you are making it more bearable.

Mi corazon es tuyo #77 4 Nov 2014... hankie-worthy ep... Our favorite sleepwalker is on the loose again... the 1001 nicknames for Isa... and Fernando opens up his heart to Alicia, to the delight of Ana and the rest of the family.

sorry the recap is long, but there were several very moving scenes i felt I needed to capture word by word.

Refritos:


No refritos… instead we got update on election results in local Uni station.

Lo Nuevo:

We pick up right where we left off Monday. (Fernando asks Ana whether Fanny and Leon went far since she slipped ‘they were careful…’)… Ana immediately changes the subject and they argue about the changes she is making to the recipe of the tea she is fixing him a 2nd dose of… he does not like lemon on it. He just wants an answer to his question. Ana claims she is not in liberty to give details of other people’s lives. Fernando gets a bit more irritated and grunts at her ‘Fanny trusts YOU, she surely told you something’. Ana rebutes yeah she trusts me because I don’t spill the beans!! (no abro la boca!!) Ana claims Fanny is her friend. Fernando pulls his card ‘and you are my employee!, and she is MY daughter’. Besides, let me tell you ‘el que calla otorga.’ (meaning if she won’t tell him it must mean it did happen). You just responded. She gives a bit disrespectful body language. Again she takes offense at his calling her ‘empleada’. (these two rather than lovebirds, look more like close age siblings). He rebutes that Ana is not fulfilling her job (as a nanny to a 19 year old?? GMAB!! He sounds like a 19 yr old himself, projecting blame away from himself!) Ana suggests he talk to Fanny directly himself. Then she asks ‘you don't mind if i get tea for myself too, right?? And what will we do if you get another episode of somnambulism?’ She ended up putting the lemon on it anyway so he stands up and dumps it in the sink repeating he does not want lemon on it. She claims the recipe includes lemon! She claims the work area of the kitchen is her SPACE. She then wants to talk about meeting halfway. He thinks this is about Fanny going out… she corrects 'nope, it is about your somnambulism issue.' What about we try placing some hurdles (objects) in his way between his room and hers. As they get to argue about that, Nando comes in and they cut the talk right there. He smells the tea. Ana explains about it. Nando asks if it works. Nando tells them he went to see Ximena. He asks if he can talk to both of them about it. Of course.

Laura and Reeky at his place… he offers to escort her out. She says 'no need, you are not my dad'. She had a great time. Will call you when I get home. She is very flirty with him…

Diego is looking in the phone book for the Valdez-Resendez. Wonders if the guy is still alive.

Fernando and Ana explain to Nando what is their concern. Nando agrees with them now. He is tired of the situation. He got mad at Ximena and left her at the place they were at. She is very fragile/unstable. He is afraid of losing her… of losing her forever.

Leon in his house texts Fanny that he 'got home. Good nite. Love ya'. He seems cold. He notices Mau is feverish. Leon checks Mau's belly area skin, there are pink spots all over (could be measles or chickenpox).

La Gata #46 Mon 11/03/14 Lorenza, you are a dog!

Let's get started!

The Hospital:
 Pablo and Esme are keeping watch over Leti, it looks like the doctor does not have high hopes for the baby making a full recovery but Esme tells Pablo that the doctor is a man of science, and does not understand miracles, as soon as she says this baby Leti starts to move and both her parents see this as a sign that she will make a full recovery. Esme and Pablo bond, but it is short lived because once Pablo announces that he has to go to work Esme pouts and whines about how he is not a real father, girl, a man has to pay bills and eat! 

Ugh, this episode annoyed the living daylights out of me and here's why: El Italiano. I.can't.stand.him. #killmenow. Seriously. The fatty (that's what I'm going to call him) and Pablo have this stupid arrangement where Pablo gives chubs money to pay the hospital expenses and Chubby takes the credit for doing a good deed. Pablo is stupid. He is allowing a man that he knows has the hots for Esmeralda to take credit for something he has not done and build good will with Kitty. Ugh. Chubby has a conversation with Lupe where he explains his plan: take credit for helping Miss Kitty, and then pounce! He says no one will ever know the truth, however, Pablo has told Maria what's going on and I'm betting she's gonna spill the frijoles. I hope she does.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #56 11/3/14 Chava Gets the Bum's Rush

From Friday:
Dani returns the medal to Lucas.
Nandito thanks Ramon for the puzzle.
 
 
New: (Some scenes have been combined)
Sofia tells Pato that she's decided to let Salvador go. Pato is glad that Sofia has finally realized that Cruz is dangerous. Sofia disagrees, "He's an excellent employee. But he won't achieve his dreams by working here." Sofia gave Salvador his severance check but he refused to take it. Pato calls Chava an idiot and offers to throw him out. Sofia scolds him, "Don't be rude. Let Silvana handle it. You need to stay out of it."
 
Nandito hugs Ramon and Ramon kisses his cheek. They fist bump, then Nandito runs to Armie. Irma says, "Adios Ramon." He thanks Irma for letting him see his son and asks for her forgiveness. She walks away from him. Armie approaches Ramon and asks Marina to give them some privacy.
 
 
 
I guess Irma figures she's done enough.
 
Silvana tells Sofia that her doctor has prescribed vitamins and told her to minimize her stress. Sofia hands Silvana a folder and an envelope and explains that Silvana must convince Chava to leave the company. Silvana wants to know what happened, "Did you... go all the way?" Sofia confesses that she and Chava kissed. "I'm engaged. It shouldn't have happened and I want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Make sure Salvador signs whatever documents he needs to sign. And make sure Patricio doesn't get involved." Silvana assures Sofia that she will take care of everything.
 
 
 
Fire Salvador and lose Pato? That ain't happening.

La Malquerida, capitulo 51.

Skipping the old....

Esteban asks Rubio what he did to Ulises.

Ulises is curdled up in a fetal position in an empty room. His kidnapper throws him a water bottle and turns to leave. Ulises tries to rush the kidnapper but he quickly turns and points the gun at Ulises. Ulises demands to talk to Nuria but the kidnapper ignores him and leaves.

Rubio gets b!tchslapped when he tells Esteban that he sent Ulises over the border with some undocumented workers. Esteban says he never asked Rubio to hurt Ulises. Not directly but you implied it replies Rubio. Esteban calls him an idiot and punches him in the face. He demands to know where Ulises is and starts kicking Rubio to get some answers. Rubio finally answers that he doesn't know and Esteban points out that he has caused a big mess. Rubio asks for forgiveness and Esteban walks away angrily only to pick up a machete. Rubio tries to crawl away asking Esteban not to hurt him. He kisses his boots and begs for his life.

Cris understands that Juliana had to file a police report since it was important to her to have Manuel set up his business. Juliana lies and says how awful she feels having to do this and it affecting Acacia so badly. Cris acknowledges that Acacia feels hurt and lied to. I regret ever trusting that boy. Juliana says because of all this, Manuel doesn't want to go to San Jaciento to take his therapies. He was to be close by Acacia to comfort her. Cris appreciates it but hopes Manuel doesn't get his hopes up again. Juliana assures Cris that Manuel would never take the opportunity while Acacia is down to try to get closer to her. She may not want to fall in love for a while. Cris hopes she gets better soon. Juliana goes on about making Ulises pay and suddenly Carmen walks in and says her son is innocent. Carmen understands that Cris may be upset but asks that she listen to her, mother to mother.

Esteban is riding his horse like a crazy man.

La Malquerida, capitulo 50. 10/31/14

A drunk Rubio comes into the kitchen helps himself to some fresh squeezed orange juice right from the pitcher. Luisa gets onto him and calls him a drunk. I wouldn't be drunk if you would respond to me replies Rubio. This of course disgusts Luisa and she reminds him this will never happen. Especially after Manuel and I....but stops short of telling Rubio that she and Manuel did the horizontal mambo. Rubio knows she wanted to say something else and tries to get her to spill the frijoles. Luisa just says that she loves Manuel and knows he feels the same. Rubio warns her that the day she suffers because of him....he looks to his machete and Luisa understands the threat he has made.

Esteban tells Cris he knows he needs to keep quiet about his feelings regarding Ulises around Acacia. But in front of her, he can say exactly what he feels. It's best that he's gone for good. Perhaps Acacia will want to come with us Thursday when we leave town. It will help distract her. Cris says she can't make it. She has plans with Hector.

Juan Carlos, Elenita and Acacia are sitting around the table discussing Ulises. Juan Carlos thinks Ulises is a criminal but Acacia says she promised to trust Ulises and that is what she is doing. She believes Nuria is behind all this and will find the proof to exonerate Ulises. Juan Carlos tells her to forget about Ulises, but Acacia refuses. You were the one that I thought would support me and it hurts the most that you don't. See leaves the room.

Lascuráin Mansion
Fanny walks in on Ana and Fernando sleeping together and her shrieks wake up Ana. Ana tries to explain that nothing happened, she left the door open, the light is on, and they’re still in their pajamas. But Ana can’t figure out why Fer is acting so strange.
Finally it dawns on her that it must be the tea she made for him. She lists the ingredients, but she’s not sure which one he would have a reaction from. Fanny teases her in a cute, sweet and loving way, she’s happy to see them together, even if it’s because her father is in a delirious state. Ana wants to come sleep in Fanny’s room with her, but Fanny says no way, and leaves. Ana crawls back into bed, Fer rolls over and spoons her, Ana objects at first, but then realizes how nice it feels and settles in for the night.

La Gata #45 Friday, October 31 – Pobrecita Bambina!

Pablo and Mariano return home after the dousing with water from Rita. Mariano is intent on finding out where Leti is. Pablo tells him that’s his responsibility and pointedly asks Mariano if Esme is the woman he is in love with. Mariano’s evasive answer is that Esme deserves more than a simple yes or no. Pablo gets phone call, says we will talk later. It’s Maria telling Pablo she will find out what hospital Leti is in.

Fern and Esme in the hospital where Leti is. He tells her he has to take Fela to the Psychiatrist and he will return after her appointment. He reassures her he will not abandon her and asks that she please keep him apprised of little Leti’s condition. She says she will and thanks him. Fer leaves after a gentle Fatherly kiss on her forehead and a blessing to them both. Almost immediately El Italiano enters. He has money, he says, he will find a specialist. Gata is grateful and says she will pay him back. El Italiano tells Esme he has seen Pablo. It doesn’t matter she answers. El Italiano goes on to relay Pablo’s message to Esme and even argues his case, that Pablo is the Father after all and has a right to see his child. How dare he Esme asks, after what he’s done? El Italiano says Pablo made a mistake, he didn’t purposely try to hurt Leti. I know you’re saying these things because you’re hurt and frightened but that does not erase the fact that he is the Father of this baby. She relents but says she will not be there when he comes. She doesn’t ever want to see Pablo again!

And now we catch up with Ines in her hot red dress. She’s in a café sipping a drink and exchanging winks with a potential involuntary sugar daddy dressed in a snazzy white suit. Garabato monitors and coaches in the background.

We now find Pablo at the counter in El Italiano’s pizza place. El Italiano tells Pablo La Gata says he does have the right to see the bambina for which Pablo heartily thanks him. El Italiano wants to go with Pablo to the hospital instead of giving him the name and address. Please, Pablo says with some indignation, I want to talk to Esmeralda alone. Well, she said you can see the baby but she will not be there when you arrive: She wants you out of her life, get it?! Well, somebody wants Pablo in her life if it’s not Esme. Gisela has been blowing up his phone and she has a high passivity index because he doesn’t answer!

Back at the hospital Gata talks tenderly to baby Leti, telling her she is praying for her when Rita comes in. Rita tells her it was wrong to come back to the dump: the babies were used to a different life. I was tired of being told what to do. I love Pablo and I will always love him but everything is over. Rita seizes this opportunity to start singing the praises of El Italiano, oh he loves the babies and has done so much for them! Yes, I am grateful Esme somberly responds. And this gratitude can become love Rita croons! No, Esme sadly counters, nothing takes the place of love and without love, life is empty.

Ines chats up the old man. When he goes to the bathroom she puts a drug in his drink as Garabato looks on in approval. The old man is back. Ines suggests they go to his room. Garabato watches. The old man begins to feel a little dizzy as he makes his moves on the cringing Ines. Another little guzzle ought to help this. He drinks, squints and blinks trying to unblur Ines. He grabs for her and falls to the floor, out cold. She slaps him, trying to make sure he’s out. Are you ok? She slaps him over and over with increasing glee. Garabato comes in and they rob his room and person: Money, jewelry, everything, stuffing it in a dufflebgag. They even take his shoes. Garabato delays their escape to slobber his thanks all over Ines after covering the old man’s face with his hat.

Pablo and El Italiano arrive at the hospital. Esme runs to hide in the bathroom. Rita and El Italiano remain in the room and Rita spins a web of lies about how Esme has just gone on and on about his kindness and her gratitude for what he’s done for the babies.

In a split screen we see the anguised Pablo talking lovingly to little Lettie: He asks for her forgiveness . On the other side Esme resolutely folds her arms, stiffens and raises her chin in defense against Pablo’s unrehearsed profession of paternal love. Unmoved, Rita makes cracks in the background. Pablo talks about the beautiful toys he’s going to buy her and presents her with a music box and a virgincita necklace, kisses it and places it on the virgincita card. (Someone help me. I know there are proper things for these items) Leti is deeply asleep. Pablo jumps up and demands to talk to the Dr. He wants to have the baby transferred for better care. El Italiano informs him the baby is still critical and can’t leave the hospital. Oh sure, now you’re scared quips Rita, why weren’t you afraid to take her out in the rain? Pablo explains with more patience and courtesy than is warranted that they had no refuge from the rain and that he tried to protect her best he could. Behind the bathroom door Esme begins to consider that Pablo’s actions were not intentional and she begins to acknowledge his pain. As he leaves Pablo asks Rita to tell Esme he will return tomorrow. Tomorrow? This baby may not make it through the night. She’s dying and it’s your fault! She’s not going to live, she HAS to live declares Pablo! He turns back to the baby and blesses her.

Fer enters the hospital room and Rita spews her poison all over Fernando: Tell him what happened! He tried to kidnap the baby, got scared when it started to rain and tried to turn back. Is it true! Answer Fer demands! Esme bursts out of the john! No sir! It’s not true. It’s a terrible tragedy but it’s not his fault. My love, Pablo coos plaintively. Don’t say a word. Get out! Pablo leaves but reminds her he is Leti’s Father and he will return.

Ahhh. We have a little respite in a scene with Centavito and Maria back at the landfill. Pablito is in a little bed as Maria picks through some trash. Centavito is studying his braille and offers to show her how he can read. They express glee that the basurera grapevine and solidarity was able to get the intell which reunited Pablo with little Leti!

Back at the hospital El Italiano introduces himself to Fer, referring to her as “La Gata” which Fer icily and sternly corrects. Esme is no longer a defenseless wild cat. Fer warms slightly to hear of El Italiano’s helping Esme which she confirms she appreciates. They shake hands.

Lorenza sweeps into the de la Santa Cruz mansion announcing to Jarocha that she has come to see her adored, beloved grandchildren. Jarocha is not taken in by this sudden interest and she attacks with her best provocative posturing, finger snapping and flashing eyes all the while calling Lorenza out on this self-serving interest in the babies. Lorenza, berating Jaroha, calls her low class ignoramus whom she refuses to let ruffle her. They continue to trade insults as Meche comes in and begs Lorenza to please leave before something bad happens. Jarocha swings wildly at Lorenza as Meche ushers her out of the door, restraining Jorocha at the same time.

As Lorenza leaves Fela intercepts her angrily demanding to know why Lorenza stole her flowers. Lorenza lets loose with a string of the insults that are always on the tip of her tongue! You cursed, crazy old dirty woman, I don’t have time for this! Fela doesn’t slow her roll and shouts at her yes, you stole my flowers and the man in the wheelchair, Augstin Martinez Negrete stole my daughter. Lorenza fairly staggers away from Fela as if hit in the gut and hurries through the gate.

Now we have Giselle and Pablo in the gallery where his paintings were to be displayed. The walls are bare. Giselle sashays into Pablos’s personal space with an unsubtle appraising sweep of her eyes. Apparently “a collector” bought all your paintings.” Todos she puckers, in kissing distance.

Having returned home, Lorenza and Pablo argue about their plans to eliminate the de la Santa Cruz problem. Lorenza asks him about Fela’s accusation: She said you kidnapped her child. What was she trying to say? Augustin denies having any knowledge of what Fela was talking about but rolls away but looking worried.

Back at the hospital the Dr. tells Esme little Leti is dying. She didn’t respond to the treatments. I’m afraid she won’t make it through the night and they have to transfer her. Esme agrees tearfully, her dread palpable.

Back at the empty gallery Giselle chides Pablo about ignoring her calls. He apologizes and she tells him she met his mother. Since I’m going to be friends with your Mother I offer you my friendship. She gives him a long, languid kiss on the cheek. Pablo looks confused.

Back at the hospital with Esme, Fer, Rita and El Italiano. Esme has become dejected and almost stony in her fear and grief. Leti is dying, she must be transferred. Fer declines El Italiano’s offer to take charge of the expenses but Esme in turn declines his help but Fer gently insists.

Mariano arrives at Pablo’s apartment: “It’s a miracle, I have money for my baby’s treatment! They rush to the hospital where they find the still dirty and unkempt Rita. Pablo runs expectantly to the crib. It is empty. Where is my baby? She’s not here and she’ll never be here Rita answers. Cut to a consultation of the Dr. with Fer, Esme and El Italiano. The Dr. tells them the baby is dying. Esme faints! Esme’s heart rate is weak, they call for a stretcher and carry her away! Let’s go! Cries El Italiano! You stay here Fer sternly orders, this is a family matter and you are not family! I’m not family but you are? El Italiano asks the empty room.

Pablo continues begging Rita where his baby is obviously so traumatized by the grief and shock it hasn’t occurred to him to ask the hospital staff. You deserve this for what you did; I don’t care about your pain. I’m not going to tell you where she is and that’s it. She announces that she is leaving to take care of her “other nieto” pushing Pablo aside as she flounces out of the room with all the importance he has given her in this matter.

Esme is in a hospital bed. She wants to be with the baby. The Dr. and Fer try to get her to rest. In a sudden burst of the old La Gata spirit she snatches her hand from Fer, pulls out the IV and jumps out of bed. You don’t understand. You’re a Dr., babies die everyday, and it’s no big deal to you. Looking at Fer she says you’re a man who lost his daughter and didn’t put forth enough effort to find her. That child out there is mine and she needs me. Nobody understands a mother’s pain! She flings open the door and is met by a tearful Fela. I’m here to talk to you because I understand. I truly understand the pain of a mother who has lost a child.

Blanca and Esme have a heart to heart and encourages Esme to fight for Leti, not to do as she did, not fighting hard enough. Fela tells her Leti will survive and she will be all right and in her arms again. Fer joins them briefly with further words of comfort. La Gata has regained her life and fighting spirit! She’s got to give her daughter the will to live! She thanks Fer for brining Fela to the hospital.

The Dr. is walking with Esme and has informed her that Leti is in intensive care. The Next 24 hours will be decisive, he says. Esme pleads, let me be by her side. Somewhat apologetically the Dr. asks where the Father is. Esme, silent, looks sheepish. It’s important he be here. We have to be prepared for the worse.

Meanwhile Pablo is in his apartment working the phone trying to locate his daughter. Monica and Mariano are there as well. Gisele Arrives as if she owns the place and implies as much with her introduction: She is Pablo’s friend and Pablo is her client and what concerns him concerns her. Monica is open-mouthed impactada. Gisele asks Pablo who he’s looking for and whips out her cell and begins to punch digits. Monica possessively drapes an arm over Pablo suddenly interested in a more active role. I have a detective friend who can help Gisele announces. Mariano picks this particular time to make a crack about the enviable position Pablo is in having this beautiful sexy lady suddenly appear. For crying out loud enough already Pablo shouts! I’m going through the worse moment of my life with my babies and the woman I love! Why is it so hard to love you Esmeralda he pleads toward the ceiling. Gisele seems visibly stricken by this outburst and gives Monica a cold, hard glare as if to say, I’ll fight her AND you for him!

Finally we see Esmeralda is in blue scrub gown and cap at Leti’s bedside in intensive care whispering words of love and encouragement to the tiny Leti asleep in an incubator. She claims a future victory for little Leti by telling a story in which love has already saved little Leticia from the jaws of death!

La Gata #44 - Thu 10/30 - La Enfermedad

Esme accuses Pablo of being irresponsible and refuses to let him do anything to help because it's "her" baby.  Rita tries to kick him out, but he won't go.  Meatball arrives.

Fernando is upset about the earlier incident with Fela out on the lawn.  He tells Mercedes what happened.  Those "gente" (people) are more like "bestias" (beasts).  He keeps backing off on the "revenge" but then something else happens.  Fernando is feeling overwhelmed and he's angry that they would accuse her of theft when they're the thieves.

Pablo insists on going to get his car to take the baby to the hospital, whether Esme likes it or not.  He tries to pay Meatball for the armload of stuff Meatball brought over, but Meatball won't accept it.  For no good reason, and with no clear logic, Esme accuses Pablo of having done something to the baby, of trying to hurt them to get back at Silencioso for wanting revenge on his family.  And then, once Pablo is gone to get his car, she leaves with Meatball.  She won't listen to Carlos, either, about the baby being Pablo's too.  "He lost that right when he let her get soaked like this."

HEFDM Recap #53

Pato and Sofi are in his apartment swooning while Silvie is mugging and giving the camera death-ray-glances. Sofi wants ot go to the roomj but Silvie is in there; Pato impedes her and goes in while she sits on the couch and laments (typical heroine stuff)


Chava and Araceli talk about Sofi.


Dani and Greta are talking and Greta just gives her usual apathetic little expressions.
Pato has come out of the room and is hugging Sofi from behind and getting all intimate.
Lucas (sexy little imp) is working out in no shirt.
Armie has come to Casa Chava and is lamdenting and confiding with him that Nandito isn't his.
Alexa and Fausto; she has a journal to write in and I'm reminded of MEPS when Liliana received a journal. In the journal it says COSAS POSITIVAS --COSAS NEGATIVAS.
Chava is empowering Armie; Claro que Nandito es tu hijo!

La Gata #43- Wed 10/29 - La Angustia

Back at something that looks vaguely like Rita's hut, only bigger and with even less furniture, the mime-ing continues.  Pablo brought friends to help convince Esme to "join" him on the "adventure."

Chácharas gets up and starts to show those lousy punks what a REAL fighter can do, but he only manages to unload the whoop-ass on Garabato before the rest of them gang up on him again.  Ines is the one who calls them off and they drag Grabato away.

More circusy stuff.  Pablo is going to keep giving Gata "detalles" (details, literally; little gifts, little things to show someone you care about them).  The organ grinder is playing "Volver" I finally figure out.

Carlos is reading to Virginia from one of her Braille books.  He'd like to write books, but he thinks he doesn't know enough.  Virginia says she'll teach him to write in Braille.

Mi corazon es tuyo #73 29 Oct 2014 Bruno turns to have a Charlie Chaplin other self... Fanny tells Fernando about Leon's suspicions of Reeky, Nando finally sets Ximena straight

Folks, my cable signal at Univision was awful during the entire episode tonight. I was only able to hear about every 5th word in between all the static and frozen screen… However, here is what I was able to get from body language and few words. Hopefully Julia can recap if she was able to hear the entire episode.


Refritos:

Fernando argues with Diego and Ana outside the house… Diego calls him on his out of control jealousy. Ana steps in between them asking them to ‘behave’. (LOL!) Fernando asks the driver if it shows that he is jealous. Johnny catches Ana and Diego just as they are ready to walk in the house. Just came by to say hi…

Reeky plays a drama queen skid in front of Fernando at hospital, then thinks on Fernando’s shoulder that if his dad dies he will make Fernando’s dad die as well.

Lo Nuevo:

Edna tries to give Ino-Doro a show of pole dancing, but she is way way bad. Ino-Doro says he will ask Ana to teach her. In comes Dana and she goes beserk, heading straight to Edna to have a mud-less girl fight, to Ino-Doro's amusement.

Ana and Diego ask Johnny what he will do with the two girls. Ana says it is not right to hold on to both. Bruno and Manuela come out to living room. Mani tells Ana that Bruno said he is not dying. Ana then accuses Bruno of having some secret dealings at the hospital with Dominica. Ana demands the truth. Diego wonders if Bruno is gay. Bruno is outraged at Manuela for ‘revealing details of their intimacy’ (I did not get what she was saying, other than revealing that the other day she found makeup in his room) Ana insists in Bruno speaking up. Bruno says he will show them all tomorrow what the secret is about.

Alicia and Isa in Isa’s bed. Alicia gets some more brainwashing from Isa, I am hurtin’ because I had a major altercation with Ana… Alicia takes the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Back at hospital, Fern asks Reeky if need anything. Reeky thanks him for coming and shakes his hand goodbye.

At Chicago, USA, more bits of honeymoon… what do we do if Manuela changes her mind? We will find another surrogate. Nico wants to go back right away… mostly about Diego and Fernando’s divorce.

The 4 younger kids are playing with outfits and chairs as if they all are riding a car, maybe a safari?( from the hats on them) but they are also holding guns and end up in a made-up fight with the guns.

Ana and Johnny walk outside. She has a hard time believing he is holding on to both girls. He can’t decide, ‘torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool...’. Ana accuses him of wanting the cake and eating it too. He honestly still feels for Jennifer. Ana says the one she wants to kill is Fernando.

Later on Ana is formally excusing herself in front of 'His Majesty Don Fernando' when her workhours are over… From his facial expression, he seems to be already regretting the arguments of earlier. She tells him that the twins teacher wants to meet Fer again. No idea why. Also that Alicia is still with Isa, and won’t even talk to Ana. Fernando is surprised. Ana looks at her watch, Fernando gets miffed at her being in a hurry and preferring to leave already than to talk with him about Alicia. Ana calls him on his 'rule' of her seeing her boyfriend only outside work hours. Fernando asks her to watch her tone. She apologizes. Then leaves. He again regrets his tone and then remembers their ‘almost’ kiss right before the call about Nando’s accident. Then Fernando has a puppy sad facial expression...

La Gata #42- Tue 10/28 - La Charada

Rita gives the babies a limpia (spiritual cleansing) so the jealous neighbors in the 'hood don't put the evil eye on the kids.  Gata prefers to just vaccinate them.  She's happy that she got hired.

Pablo's boss continues to be impressed with his work on the mural and invites him to lunch, but…

Pablo has a lunch date with Gisela.  AKA sexy art lady.  He shows her the paintings/drawings of Esme and she proclaims him "talented."  She wants to give the exposition a name and she's sure his work will sell.  So, about that model…?  Pablo confesses she's his love and his muse.  Not the answer Gisela was looking for.

Esme shows the babies the first drawing Pablo did of her and remembers him talking about the sparkle in her eyes when he gave her the drawing.  She tries to do some PR work with the babies about what a great guy their dad is.  Meatball shows up…gross!
