La Gata #67 - Wed 12/3 - La Ridiculez
Augie has a cab take him to Fernando's old mansion, sitting empty. He remembers Lo saying it was the house of her dreams and him saying it was all for his queen. He whines about there always being a shadow over it all. Maybe because you were a thief and a liar and didn't deserve to be living there? He thinks back to the bad old good old times. Young Virginia was apparently a sleepyhead back in the day. "What happened to us?" Karma caught up with you. Of course, he blames it all on…Blanca! Wait…what?!
Fela is out on the patio with all the ladies of Casa Silencioso, so maybe he was directing it at the back of Esme's head? Esme and Principe would like to know if Esme is Fela and Fernando's bio-daughter. Fela is distracted from answering by a freak-out upon seeing Augie out on the balcony of her old house.

Mi corazon es tuyo #97 The cuffs are off! the cockroach is in the kitchen, one father remembers better times while another wonders about fatherhood probably for 1st time.
Refritos:
YoMama and Ramona (remona)
Lion remembering moments and earlier drawings.

Diego at hosp thinks he has to get his hands working again.
Fernando, Ana and Fanny come downstairs. Leon greets them. Ana explains to Leon they are playing a game called ‘trapped by force’. Leon finds it amusing, just like Fanny did. Fanny explains the twins cuffed them. Kiss. Fanny apologizes for not answering, tells him about Edith taking her to the ‘Las Mercedes home’. Leon smiles at hearing her adventure. Another kiss. He is very proud of her.
Johnny and Edna at his place. She is using him as taste critic for her quesadillas. He is telling Edna what happened to Nico. InoDoro calls Johnny and he gets instantly nervous. InoDoro angrily asks about Ana. The fourth drawing is about the tacos, the improvised picnic, riding his motorbike, getting him wet… all the memories of their relationship. She can’t wait to see drawings 5, 6 and 7. He says lets do 5 and 6 together. He has to go to get Mau in bed… another kiss for good measure.
Ana and Fernando in kitchen… she is trying to pry the cuffs open with screwdrivers. Bruno is on phone trying to get a locksmith. Fernando is not quite getting why Ana is so anxious and nervous to get separated ASAP. Ana is now trying to use plyers but to no avail either. Johnny calls Ana and gets her even more nervous, and gets Fernando even more curious. She pulls away and hurts Fernando’s hand. Johnny tells Ana that Inodoro said if she does not show up at Chicago right now he will tell all to Fernando.

Emilia’s Bar – Do I hear $15 million?
Reina is knocking on the door of the bar. Navier and Emilia are in the kitchen looking through the window of the door into the main part of the bar. “It’s her,” says Emilia, “the woman from the television. You must be Javier Bolivar.” Reina keeps knocking and says that she needs to speak to the owner. Emilia starts to go to the door saying that she has to open it. Navier asks why. Is she is doing it for the $5 million? Navier tells Emilia that he will give her $10 million if she doesn’t tell Reina about his being there. [Navier is pretty willing to give away money he didn’t even know he had until just now.]

She has never seen such a similarity. She says that the baby looks like her too. The baby is a perfect mix of the two of them. Estefi clutches the baby to her breast and says, “you are my son, you are Javier Nicolás, my son. There’s a knock on the door. FELS comes in to Estefi’s room.

Hospital
Patrick asks Greta to pretend that she is OK with Chava returning to work at Ripoll. Greta protests, but he asks her to trust him.
Greta reminds Sophia that she could still die if her daughters continue to disappoint her. They wonder where Daniela is. It's her night to sit with Greta and she is late. Greta thinks that Daniela might be at a bar with Annette.
Sophia chastises Alexa for making a spectacle of herself in front of the Ripoll employees. Alexa says that the rumors are exaggerated. That marriage was broken up before she even met Armando. Sophia tells her to be discreet. Alexa asks how do you hide love.

La Malquerida #71, 12/2/14: Unexpected and Unwanted Visitors
Mexico Episode #77
Read more »
We get a satisfying replay of Ulises coming to Acacia’s window
unexpectedly, dissing Acacia, dropping the evidence of his innocence in her
hands as she cries and begs, and stalking off. Uli spots Rubio who is drunk,
drinking, and singing a song dedicated to Luisa. Like Acacia, he first assumes
Uli escaped from prison. Uli demands to know what Rubio did with the letter he
sent, but Rubio continues to deny, deny, deny.
Luisa finds Acacia crying and puts her anger aside to hug
Acacia and ask her what’s wrong. Acacia tells her of Uli’s freedom, proven
innocence, and bitter visit—and how this all makes HER feel bad. Luisa is just happy
that Uli is free! She tells Acacia to focus on that, and if she and Uli love each
other as much as they seem to, then it will work out in the end and they will end
up together.
Meanwhile, Este takes Cris to a hotel as part of their
romantic date night. He pours the champagne, makes a toast, and looks at Cris
expectantly. She doesn’t drink, nor does she tell him she’s pregnant. They
speak briefly about the hacienda administration. Este says he’s cool with her
and Acacia taking over. He still has his Association head salary, plus he’s
thinking of getting involved in other business opportunities and spending more
time away from the hacienda. Cris agrees that not spending all their waking
hours together will do them some good. Este makes a pretty speech about their
relationship, pulls out a lovely diamond ring, and puts it on her right hand. It
reminds Cris of the first engagement ring he gave her back when he didn’t have
money, and makes her nostalgic. She tells Este that she’s pregnant, and he does
a really good job of feigning surprise. They make love happily, wake up the
next morning spooning, and discuss their child. They both want a boy. She,
because she has a girl and wants a boy who looks like him. He, because he doesn’t
know how to handle delicate girls. Cris informs him that girls are plenty
tough, plus he was great with Acacia when she was a little girl. He has been a
father to her, and this child will make TWO kids that he has.

La Gata #66 12/2/14 La Muñeca
I may be the only one who feels this way, but this is starting for feel more like a support group than a conversation about a Telenovela. Gluttons for Punishment Anonymous, perhaps?
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
- Dr. Peñuela (played by the scrumptious Marcelo) is overwhelmed by eau de protagonista.
- Pablo wants to get married ASAP, but Esme still hesitates.
- Dr. Cisneros will be here soon!
- Pablo wears Esme down and she finally agrees to marry him the day before her operation (and I can't help but think that you aren't allowed to eat or drink after midnight before a surgery... so they better make it an AM wedding so Esme can enjoy a little of the reception.)
- Augie had hoped Mariano would remain loyal to him, but now his kids are dead to him and if Low is going to keep bleating about the nietos, she's dead to him too!

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 133.
Episode 133 televised on Friday, 11/21 from 35:40 - 48:00.
In which:
Izzy isn't dead -- or is he?
The search for Navier becomes a media circus!
Juanjo's sad secret is revealed! (Who knew he had a secret?)
There are two deliveries but there’s only one live baby
Navier may have forgotten many things, but he remembers he is the hero of this telenovela.
He comes to the rescue of winsome Bar Lady, beckoning her to his side and ordering the Three Stooges to leave. "Who are you?" barks the biggest stooge. "None of your business," says Navier. "All that matters is that she has someone to look out for her -- and that's me." Having no idea he is dealing with the Dragon, the big stooge makes the mistake of reaching for his gun. Navier shoots it out of his hand. "The next time, the bullet goes in your hand -- or your head, depending on my mood, which, at the moment, is pretty bad. If you come back, you'll leave feet first. Now GET OUT! And you, leave the money."

- Kitty arrives home
- Mercedes freaks out because Lorenza has not returned the babies in time for Esmeraldas to see them
- Mercedes comes clean and tells Kitty that Lorenza has been picking up the babies everyday so they can go to the park, Kitty does not look happy.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #75 12/1/14 Nandito Becomes Collateral Damage
I really hate to say this, but this will be kind of a bare bones recap in some places. To do my recaps I watch online and take notes, then watch the TV broadcast and use the English CCs to fill in the gaps. We are having very cold weather in Western Washington and the TV reception has been terrible for the last few days. Monday night we were not able to get Univision at all and Hulu Plus doesn't have this episode available yet. If any of you can help fill in the gaps - or correct me if I got something wrong in the comments I'd be most grateful. I'll even treat you to this fun comic in return:
On to the recap!
(Some scenes have been combined)
At the hospital, Sofia tells Chava that she needs time to know if she really loves him. They come very close to kissing, but he kisses her forehead instead. Then he leaves.

The most chaste romance in history.

Danilo welcomes Esteban, Cris and Acacia to his humble brothel....errrrrr abode. He hopes that they will consider him part of the family just like they do with Ale. Not so fast replies Cris.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 132.
Here's a little update, folks. Because of the President's speech on Thursday, Nov. 20, it seems that 4 (that's right FOUR) episodes were squished together on Friday, Nov. 21. Yup, episodes 131, 132, 133 and 134 were smushed into something incomprehensible. We won't be done sorting out that single broadcast until Wednesday, Dec. 3!
I can't really tell you how the rest has been divvied up. I do know that the show officially ends tonight, Monday, December 1. (This final episode, by the way, is numbered 141 on YouTube.) So we are recapping a show that technically no longer exists. Whatever.
We'll keep doing our best to bring you the story, one chapter a day, basing our recaps on the episodes as they were shown in Mexico. We'll probably be done with this insanity by Friday, December 12.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And to get the week started, here is my recap of Episode 132, the second part of the 11/21 broadcast version:
In which:
Navier escapes after 5 months in the new PHoo Lab but his memory is gone!
Estefy gets a new López.
Mauro gets out of jail free but it won't be long before his future is all sewn up.
We learn the identity of the Costurer@!
We suspect that pudgy ORBO may have an edge.
And we meet a new rival for Navier's affections!

Rubio
gets called into Esteban's office. He wants to know everything about
the local brothel.
Perla and Danilo walk in laughing and looking happy. Julianita is glad to see everything is now well between the two of them. He sends Perla off to let Ale know they have returned. Juanita informs him that Ale behaved all day and just stayed in her room. Ale walks in and he asks if she missed him. She doesn't say a word but her eyes yell out “Hell no!” He says everything went in his favor today. Things are not looking good for Ulises even with German's testimony. Rumor has it that German is very much in love with his new lady. So, I think that if you keep misbehaving, I will have to make you pay.
Esteban begs Cris to forgive him and take him back.
Norberto tells German that Juliana and Andres are interested in each other again. Even if that was the case says German, there was no reason to pull your gun on him. You could have hurt someone. I lost my mind when I saw them both together at the hotel replies Norberto. They now have filed a police report. They just want to bury me.

Fernando has a fit, rightfully so, and asks some questions. Alicia tells him that the boy turned out to be her own age. That doesn’t make things better for Alicia. She’s to have no phone, no tablet, and no internet, and no Briana since she’s her accomplice. Ana offers to make Fernando tea to help him sleep.
Natalia tells Diego that she loves him. He wants to know when that started. She tells him that she realized she loved him when she saw him when they were both back in Mexico, and after the accident, the thought of losing him confirmed it.

La moral, la conciencia y la vergüenza
Mariano thanks El Sil again for helping him. El Sil thinks if Mariano was about to commit an offense, he had his reasons, but he also had the strength to stop himself. Morality and conscience has made Mariano a good person. When Mariano asks about shame, El Sil tells him to never forget it since it can keep a person from committing the same offense twice (which he phrases as "tropezar con la misma piedra"--tripping over the same stone. A classic TN phrase.)

La Gata #63 11-17-14 Turkey. . .and Masochism is best served HOT!!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This title is dedicated to Mariano and the other gobblers in tonight's episode!
Right out of the gate we are treated with Jarocha beating the crap out of Gisela. Jarocha gets in some good slaps, choking and a blow to the stomach before Pablo comes out into the hallway to see what’s happening. Relish this thrashing; you’re going to need it later. Jarocha tells Pablo that this dirty pig has told Esme she is paralyzed. Gisela doesn’t seem quite as cheeky anymore. Security Guards have to tussle mightily to restrain Jarocha who even aims some kicks at Gisela.
Pablo finds Esmeralda on the floor. She cries that she cannot walk and that she was lied to. Pablo holds her as she sobs and pledges his undying love.
Outside Fernando and Blanca arrive and Jarocha informs them as well of the well-guarded secret that Gisela has just blurted out. Fernando prepares to rip into her when Gisela recognizes him and calls him a killer. Blanca tries to defend him. Fer decides they will go in to see Esmeralda and tells Gisela he will deal with her later. The guards continue to keep Jarocha and Gisela separated.
Esme is back in bed now as Fer and Blanca enter. She is glad to see them; she has them and swears she is not going to give up. Outside the large glass window which opens on the hallway Rita states solemnly that her dream has been realized, Esme is a broken rag doll.

La Malquerida #68, 11/27/2014: Uli’s Getting Sent to the Big House
Mexico Episode #74
Read more »
I’m too filled with turkey, stuffing, and pie to go into
details tonight, so here are bullet points to get the conversation going…
-After Acacia spills the beans about Cristina’s pregnancy to
Esteban, he backs off. Then he stares at Cris throughout their contract meeting
with McCormick, and says nothing. He offers no protest when Cris says from now
on, she and Acacia will be the only people listed as administrators of Benavente.
This leaves Cris even more convinced that Esteban does not want to reconcile,
and she says so to Acacia. Knowing that she blabbed about the pregnancy, Acacia
is surprised that Este didn’t work things out with Cris.
-Acacia, Cris, and we, get a tour of McCormick and learn how
Benavente’s strawberries become delicious jams.
-Elena tells Juan Carlos about the pregnancy. He tells Cris
that he is not in agreement with her keeping it secret from Esteban (he’s
responsible for the child as its father), but in the end says he will support
her decisions. He’s also super happy to once again become a grandpa. Cris says
that she will give Este one more month to decide what the heck he wants. After
that she’ll tell him she’s pregnant, but not so that he’ll return.
-Este tells Rubio about Cris’ pregnancy. His parents
abandoned him in an orphanage, and he swore he would never abandon his own
child. He feels that he has to go back to Cris. Rubio points out that this
means that Este has to forget Acacia forever. Or does Este intend for her to
become his child’s stepmother? Este is not amused by this joke. Rubio points
out that even if he returns to Cris, Este is no longer the ranch administrator and
will need to make some money, for his backup escape plan. He subtly pushes Este
to partner with Danilo.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #72 20141126 Happy Thanksgiving
Chapter 72 This is what I remember. Please fill us in on anything that I left out.
- At dinner, Greta reminds her daughters of their responsibilities. 1. Daniela, go to school and get good grades. 2. Alexa, work and find a suitable husband. 3. Sophia, be a good example to her sisters.
- Greta asks to see Sophia her office. She tells Sophia that she's disappointed in her for letting Chava slob all over her. She tosses that photos on the desk. Sophia wants to know who gave her the photos. Did Greta have her followed? Fausto, Alexa and Dani hear Greta yelling and run into the office. After seeing the photos on the desk, Alexa gets the courage to confess her love for Armando. Greta drops to the floor from a heart attack. Oliver comes over to visit.
- After dinner, Irma appeals to Chava to help her get Armando back. She blames Alexa for the demise of their relationship. Chava tells her that Alexa is not the blame. He reminds her that she trapped Armando with a kid that isn't his. She won't be able to get Armando back because she lied to him for so long.

Weekend Discussion: Black Friday and Retail Creep
By now most of us will have eaten our turkey, stuffing, etc., and are thinking about the next episodes of our favorite series or hanging with family or friends. How many of you are heading out to shop tonight?
About ten years ago when the early morning madness started a friend commented "In a few years we'll all be finishing our pumpkin pie and heading to the mall." And this year Target opened at 6PM and Walmart at 5. None of us at that table shops on Black Friday; I personally vowed ages ago to finish my holiday shopping before that and haven't broken that promise to myself. Anything purchased after that date is bought online.
This article sums up how I feel about this.
BTW, according to Wikipedia's article on this subject, Latin American also observes it.
Your thoughts, por favor!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends, but do drop in between bites of turkey and pie to discuss this episode.
Acacia Makes
Announcements, Does Undercover Acts of Kindness, and Spills Secrets:
Acacia gathers the family together to tell them she’s done
with Ulises, FOREVER…and she really, really means it this time. At least, until
the next time she changes her mind. The family is happy to hear it. Lizi
arrives and we find out what all the secret calls between her and Acacia were
about. Seems that a girlfriend of Lizi (*cough*, Hector) has a connection with
an art gallery that wants to do a show of German’s and Cris’ art! Yay! German,
Cris, and everyone else is excited. Lizi voices her reservations to Acacia
about keeping the real person behind the show secret and taking the credit. But
she doesn’t feel bad enough to reject German’s grateful kisses.
Later Acacia visits Alejandra and whines about Ulises lying
to her. Ale is concerned that Acacia will once again be vulnerable to Esteban’s
charms. She warns Acacia to keep her distance from Este and to remember that he’s
her MOTHER’S HUSBAND. Acacia says she won’t forget it, since he and Cris are
about to have a baby. Ale is sufficiently impactada.
Visiting Hours in the
Local Hoosegow*:
Ulises gets a few visitors. Cris, visits as part of her
mission to protect her baby Acacia. She asks Uli to let Acacia go on with her
life (without him) if he really loves her. Uli asserts his love and his
innocence, and swears that once he proves his innocence he’ll win back Acacia’s
love. (Dude, she doesn’t deserve YOU!) Cris says she’ll make sure he never sets
foot on the hacienda again. (Gringo—Perhaps we should start cooking that crow
dinner over the Thanksgiving break?) Carmen and Arturo visit, and are pretty
down about all the evidence stacking up against Uli with Nuria’s testimony. Finally,
Hector visits. He still believes in Ulises, and he wants Uli to be more cautious
about sharing info since he thinks there’s a mole somewhere—Nuria knew too much
info and he believes someone was feeding it to her. He also tells Uli that he
has his people looking for Itzel (who Nuria claims was another woman seduced by
Uli).
*The American slang for jail, hoosegow, is derived from the
Spanish word, juzgado.

La Gata #62 - Wed 11/26 - La Indiscreción
A lot of what happened at Esme's bedside in the early part of the episode was pretty irrelevant, so it's going to get combined, condensed, etc. In contrast, some of our supporting cast were using interesting vocabulary and idioms tonight, and making some important revelations, so they're going to get more coverage than they might usually warrant, though still, I opted to combine scenes instead of cutting back and forth.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #92 Hankie-worthy ... Still can't tell if Diego wants Heaven to wait or not... And the news of Diego's accident spreads... and Ana and Fernando open their hearts and cry with each other
Refritos:
We left Fernando and Ana riding the ambulance with Diego, who had flat-lined and the paramedics were trying to revive him.
Lo Nuevo:
Alicia goes into the ladies room at a café to prepare (makeup, boob stuff) to meet Pablo.
At hospital Jenny tells Doctor that Nico has been anxious because he has been having a ‘bad gut feeling’.
At the cafetin Alicia asks for a strawberry shake. The waiter tells Alicia that she dropped one of her boob fillers.
Fanny, Edith and Natalia arrive to the hospital to ask for Diego. Nando arrives right away. The ambulance has not arrived (still in traffic?) … they all are worried they all got there before the ambulance.
In the ambulance Fernando continues praying, his hands are all bloody. He worries what he will tell Nico. Ana is begging Diego to please not leave them. She cries while Fernando kneels by Diego’s head. Ana comes and leans on Fernando, crying hard.
At Isa’s, Ino-Doro leaves, he has to go visit other tenants. YoMama calls him Pancho Villa and asks for his phone number. He gives her a business card, not being shy about showing her his wallet full of money. They flirt with each other… When Ino-Doro is gone, YoMama tells cupid he finally did her justice
At hospital, Natalia is really upset, tells Fanny that the men she has fallen for have died in her arms or at her care… Fanny tries to encourage her ‘everything will be alright’. Nando and Edith talk… Nando tells her he wants Ana with Fernando but he really loves his uncle Diego too, and appreciates Diego’s advice. Edith hugs him in support.
Isa returns home, rings bell and YoMama nags about having to open the door to her. Yomama says we need groceries… Isa wants HER to go to the super. Isa says ‘I got all this, you are just my gopher/second’. Meaning you are a parasite… living off another… and in this case, Me.(Isa). YoMama cuts Isa off and says go ahead and be hungry. Soon I will have someone to support me, so there!
Pablo is standing behind Alicia… does not want her to see him until he talks to her. He says she is different than the picture but she looks better in real life. Fanny turns around and is disappointed at seeing him. She nags at him that he does not look like the picture. No muscles and much younger than she thought. She is upset enough she wants to leave. He begs her not to go. She drops her bag when she gets up mad and he sees her school emblem on her sweater so he starts laughing at her trying to simulate she was 18 when this school only has elementary and secondary school. So she can barely be 15.

Mi corazon es tuyo #91 Is this the last we see of Diego?? At his experiencia religiosa, will Diego say 'heaven can wait' or become an angel?
Refritos:
Fernando tells Ana he spoke to Diego but could not reconcile with him. Ana keeps hoping they will be able to forgive each other soon. Fernando tells her Diego is in bad shape, has been drinking for several days now. Looks real bad. Seems he is on auto-destruct mode.
Lo Nuevo:
Isa still at Freeky’s. Isa seems to want to rekindle the flame she once had with Freeky. He agrees she is very attractive, but she turns it on him and says from here on out, we are only related by business.
Laura rings Freeky’s bell. He won’t let her in, sends her away ‘non-ya-bidness’ who I’m with. Laura breaks down and cries in hallway ‘what have you done, Laura??’ Natalia sees her but Laura denies needing help.
At Lasc kitchen, Johnny and Bruno are having a good time, Johnny swears he is the best cook now. Even puts on a ‘show’ for Bruno. He tries to show how to crack an egg without making a mess. Bruno laughs hard (feet up in the air) when he fails and Bruno starts telling jokes. FF>>
At Diego’s, Natalia comes in the apt. Diego gets mad at her because she threw away his booze. He takes the keys and runs out.
Ana is calling Diego’s cel, but he won’t answer. Fernando says he and Diego have always parted ways but this time its gone too far. He won’t let Ana feel guilty. Both he and Diego have made mistakes.

La Gata #61 11/25/14 La Paralítica
I missed the first little bit and the house was kind of chaotic with dogs and visitors, so I'm going to throw some bullets up and watch on hulu tomorrow and put more details in then.
- I tuned in right as Ines, Garabato and the gang had made their escape.
- La Gata is paralyzed and wearing odd headgear with two lemons for each ear. The doctor says there is a possibility of surgery, but it's risky. If I had taken a drink every time someone said "paralítica" I would be sloshed.
- Everyone visited Esme.
- Lowrenza is growing a heart and very much wants to be a part of her nieto's lives. Augie is not sold on the idea.

La Gata #60 11/24/14 Brain damage!
Is that proof that Esmeralda and Pablo had brains? Who knew. Anyhoo, let me get to it.
My beloved Mariano comes upon the accident scene, he had a bad feeling that something was wrong with the two love birds, when he realizes that Esmeralda and his brother have been injured he cries out in anguish (someone give me some tissues!).
At Casa De Venganza everyone is worried about Esmeralda, they all expected her to be home hours ago and they can't find her, Jarocha suggests that maybe she and Pablo decided to run away and marry in secret, Fernando says Esmeralda would not do that. They then get the call that tells them about the accident, Fernando leaves to the hospital and Fela and Virgina stay behind, I really wish that they would stop treating these two like helpless children, they are grown women, treat them as such! Fernando promises to call them with updates.
Lorenza has a heart-allegedly
Lorenza and Agustin argue, she tells him that she will be going to the wedding, she might not like Esmeralda but she loves her son and she will give him her full support, Agustin is dead set against this but she reminds him "if you can't beat the enemy, join him".

Skipping
the old....
Rubio comes in and to turn in an accounting report and JC asks him to take a seat. He asks if he received a letter from Ulises intended for Acacia. He wants it.
Acacia can't believe Cris is asking her if there is another woman in Esteban's life. If I knew something like that, don't you think I would have said something? Cris apologizes for asking such a question. Ever since Esteban left, she has all these horrible thoughts in her head. Acacia advises her to speak with Esteban to clarify things especially now that you are going to have his child. Cris doesn't agree. Children are not a magically solution when it comes to marital problems. She just feels that there is another woman and needs to know. Acacia thinks perhaps he might have had a passing fancy but it can't be serious. But who asks Cris. Acacia tells her to calm down and think of the baby. Cris agrees and knows no matter what happens, this child will be loved by many.
What letter asks Rubio. JC again says Ulises sent a letter but Rubio says no one came with a letter. JC keeps grilling him but Rubio swears nothing ever came. JC suspects Ulises lied. Rubio promises to questions all the ranch hands in the morning.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of November 24, 2014.
Hola Reinamaniacs!
We are trying a slightly different approach to recapping our beloved novela that Telemundo has trashed. Since two-fers, much less three-fers are horrible to recap and too much to take in, as of Thursday, November 13, we started telling the story one Mexican episode at a time -- A Chapter a Day -- regardless of how it is broadcast in the United States.
That means we will fall further and further behind the televised shows. We're guessing that Telemundo will air the gran final on December 1, but we will probably finish recapping the show on December 11.

Of course, this all depends on the continued availability of the Mexican episodes. Telemundo could get nasty and make them hard to find. If that happens, then we are stuck with what they decide to show in this country and we'll have to regroup.
Deb has put together this schedule for U.S.A. broadcasts of Reina. (It is based on currently available information, but you never know what Telemundo might do.)
November
17-mon... 125/126
18-tue... 127/128
19-wed... 129/130
20-thu... 131/132* this was pre-empted by the President's speech
21-fri... 131/132?????? it looks like what was broadcast on Friday starts where Wed.'s episode ended so I 'm not sure what is going on. Maybe they will double up Tue and Wed's episodes that were supposed to be singles.
24-mon... 133/134??????
24-mon... 133/134??????
25-tue... 135/136???????
26-wed... 137/138??????
27-thu... Thanksgiving
28-fri... 139
December
01-mon... 140 (gran final)

Here is the "anti-tijeras" schedule for our CarayCaray recaps of episodes of Reina as shown in Mexico:

Quiero Amarte Highlights and Discussion (Week 10 - Nov 24)
Looking Ahead
Let's discuss--
Whether the coffee stain will come out of Max's kelly green sweater.
Whether the stars in Amaya's and Max's eyes ever align so their lips meet again.
Whether Lucio will see through the phony doctor Lucrecia hired.
Whether there will really be a Consta-Max wedding in 15 days.
Whether Ivan will admit to himself he moved a bit too fast with Mariana.
Whether Dolores will pass her kidney stone or need surgery.
Whether Cesar comes up with a successful plan to ruin Max's Tres-en-Uno coffee project.
Note: Tres-en-Uno is a real Nescafe brand. In the U.S. it's called 3-in-1, a flavored instant coffee in single-serve packets. Nestle is getting a lot of "free" advertising in this telenovela.

Greta visits Isadora and tells her about Sofia calling off her wedding. Greta can't understand it; Pato is the perfect man for Sofia! Isadora opens a flask and pours a shot of booze into her coffee. She tells Greta that there is only one reason why a woman calls off a wedding - because there is another man involved. Greta insists that another man can't possibly be the reason! Sofia is classier than that!

La Malquerida, capitulo 64. 11/21/14
Lizi
proposes to German to spend some time together. Who knows perhaps
this could last a lifetime. German nods his acceptance and the two
share a lovely kiss.
Luisa tries to talk sense to Acacia about Ulises. She doesn't want to hear it but Luisa insists. Arturo told her Ulises never did anything shady or escaped with Nuria. Acacia doesn't think he would have told his family the truth. Luisa advises her to speak with Ulises and if she's not convinced, no harm no foul. Acacia is afraid that once speaking with Ulises he would convince her of his innocence even though everyone is accusing him of fraud. Unless you want Manuel now and don't care that Ulises rots in prison.
Memo pulls a gun on Patricio and says Danilo ordered him to die. Patricio pleads for his life.

La Gata #59 11/21/14 La Mancha
I will be out of town until Friday of next week and I don't think I'll have access to Univision. If anyone can take Tuesday, it would be appreciated.
*Le Sigh*
I know I owe you all a recap, but the thought of watching Pablo, Esme and the crew talk in circles for 45 minutes leaves me nauseous.
I am also fully committed, but I will one up Kat's grumpiness and go into full kvetch mode. As you are all mentioning in the comments, there are so many loose and forgotten ends. Hell, a list of THOSE is more entertaining than last night's swill.

Mi corazon es tuyo, 11/21/2014, No show doesn't mean that we don't get to chat
First of all: I apologize for my lack of presence on the boards. I just started a new job that is killing me softly. It's a completely new field of work for me, one that I'm not completely sure that I even like but I absolutely have to make work; so I'm constantly exhausted and I'm behind on all my TV watching.
Having said that and since there was no show yesterday, I figured we could do something else for today's post.
How about if we take advantage of the mini-break to explore some of the moral themes of the story, some of the situations that have been discussed before, but never at length because there was always something else to comment on.

Like:
- Ana has no real skills, other than dancing on the pole and making bad business decisions. She has a huge heart and she loves the kids just like a mother would, but what has she really accomplished so far, except surviving?
- Fernando decided to marry the mother of his presumed 8th child, even if there was no connection between him and the mother to be and he was in love with another woman. Is this type of situation still acceptable in 2014?
- Nico married a much younger woman, but failed to realize that she will want to be there for him no matter what and fixing her up with another man is not OK. For better and for worse, right?
- Diego, an adventurer at heart, decided to give up on his entire life for a woman that only feels gratitude for him. Even if he had Ana's love, would a life of domesticity be enough for him?
- Fanny, a barely 20 year-old, who is still struggling with finding out who she is and what she wants out of life, committed to a guy with a young child to take care of. Seen from this point of view, isn't Lenin - the care-free student boy, a more appropriate match?
- Manuela wanted to be the surrogate for her employer and she would have probably done it if not for Nico's health problems.
- Alicia accused Fernando of not respecting her privacy; but she's 15, still living in her father's house and cyber-dating is almost never safe.
- And the big elephant in the room, that hasn't even been addressed yet: when Fernando finds out about Ana's real job and lying to him for so many months, won't he have the right to be upset? Ana's presence in his house exposed all of his children to the likes of Doroteo (and even Johnny), so should we blame him too much when he jumps through the roof upon finding out the truth (because I believe that he will)

La Gata #58 - Wed 11/19 - La Víspera
Pablo calls Esme and the ladies on their belief in superstitions…especially since Esme has a black cat. True, dude. Principe can't possibly be bad luck. I'm ignoring their meaningless conversation as it goes nowhere.
Rita does a limpia, which apparently doesn't work, because in walks Meatball. He's come to say goodbye…don't let the door hit 'ya! Before he goes, he chokes Rita and accuses the cards of lying, but she says it's not the cards, it's him! Plus, he's married. Meatball protests that he's only "arrejuntado" (living together) which isn't the same thing. The choking continues.
Pablo is nearly finished with the hideous mural. Or so he says. The boss wants to celebrate with a toast.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #88 Isa going... going... gone!!! Fernando finds out about Alicia's internet boyfriend and does not like it one bit
Refritos:
Leon and Fanny in a romantic moment… he tells her what he loves about her and their relationship… followed by kisses…
Ana with a picture of Eliz Taylor as her mom… (or who is that?)… Ana is crying with the boys in the room, Fernando overhears out the door. One of the twins goes out to get him… Luz is also there. Some guy (sorry haven’t seen the last 4 eps) sent Ana a pic of her mom… Fernando asks to see it, then says he is happy that Ana can see what her mom looks like, says she is beautiful like Ana (with the song… yeah that one!... in the background, sung by the old woman)… The boys and Luz are hugging Ana… The boys are all smiling and this seems to move Fernando even more.
Lo Nuevo:
Bruno comes to library to see Fer. Bruno asks Fer if he is feeling alright. The tragedies have not come alone but quitting the company… Fernando is honest with Bruno, and acknowledges Bruno’s important role in their family… Bruno notes that when Fernando started working there he looked like a little boy in his first day of classes… Fernando acknowledges the company was his life… his family. A great family, like the Lasc are for Bruno. Fernando knows the value of not only the company but the people who work there. He quit because the company does not need the scandal. It is a dream of many families.
Nando and Edith in his room… they are arguing about exact sciences, theory of relativity, scientific explanations and exactitude, subatomic particles, (and these two are on each other’s face…) quantum space and space time… He acknowledges she is real smart to have so many tattoos.
Nico and Jen. Nico tells Jen the Doctor said he would need special care… Jen offers herself. Nico does not want to be a burden on Jen.(Fernando heard this on his way in the room).
Ana calls Diego, Natalia gets the phone. She tells Diego its Ana. But Diego does not want to talk to her. Ana texts Diego she wanted to say thank you… about finding facts about her mom… appoligizes for what happened but says she was always sincere… and again, thank you.
Back to Nico, Jen and Fer. Jen argues that her dream was to be with him, he thanks her but… will you be happy with no kids? Aren’t you better off with a young man and not having to care for an old hag? Fernando cuts him short, not the time to talk about this. Jen is crying. Nico says he loves her so much he wishes her to find a guy closer to her age… (Fernando is hugging Jen, who is very upset)
Isa and Yomama, Isa is carrying a suitcase… Yomama says you have to help me with my suitcase. Isa nags. Suddenly Fanny and the boys are all throwing stuff at Isa and YoMama and the twins are shooting with their water guns… a battle ensues, Isa slips at the door trying to run out. (Carmen Salinas can’t help but laugh on her way out)…
Ana and Fer come out of the library… Ana says finally the arachnidas are out of here…! Fernando says ‘perfect! Now finally we can be happy…’ and they kiss (WHOA!!! what did I Miss???? I have to watch these recordings… someone changed the game on me!!)… nah… it was just a nightmare of Isa’s… (Phew!! I thought I had missed volumes!!)

La Malquerida #62, 11/18/14: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Ulises?
Mexico Episode #68
The Old:
Read more »
The Old:
Cristina rips old Danilo a new one for secretly marrying young
Alejandra, but reassures Ale that she is still beloved and welcomed. Acacia
worries how poor Esteban will survive. Cris tells her he has the savings from
his administrator salary, and a good head on his shoulders. Ulises rides into
town on Juancho’s ass and hobbles to the Soto min-mart and calls Acacia, who
had just dug his cross out of Este’s desk drawer and seemed to want to put it
on.
The New:
Uli begs Acacia not to hang up, as she cries and curses him.
He asks her to meet him in the town park. Back in the boondocks, Itzel and her
grandma come back from picking herbs and find Uli gone, but a note left behind.
He thanks them for everything they did for him, says he can’t keep putting them
in danger (which hasn’t really changed since he sent a letter with their
location in it!), and hopes to pay them back one day (if Dan’s goons haven’t
killed them). Itzel cries and Grandma tells her not to worry.
Dan beats the snot and stuffing out of Memo and Patricio for
letting Uli escape and live long enough to send a letter, and letting him see
their faces (Memo points out only Pat’s face was seen). They need to get more
men and find him! “It’s really important to find Ulises, because if he lives…”
Ale runs out, in her new Dan-provided ramera-wear, and asks what the heck Dan
is saying?! He clams up, and tells her to go back to their room where he told
her to stay. Dan introduces her to Pat and Memo as his wife, who should be
treated with respect, before he shoves her back to the bedroom. Memo makes the
mistake of asking if she isn’t the infamous Turquesa, and nearly gets smacked
again. Dan orders him never to mention it or that name again!

La Gata #57 11/18/14 La Miseria
I took quick notes during the commercial break. I'm sure I missed a lot and as usual, I'm a little scant on the details. I'm still battling this crappy crud.
In other news, this felt like a relatively coherent episode. Please note: all action was interspersed with lots of Pablo and Esme sappiness.
The episode begins with a wedding dress try-on montage and a few shots of Pablo working on his acid inspired mural.
Esme's joy is interrupted by a sudden memory of Rita's fortune telling. She'll never be happy at Pablo's side.
Mariano visits Ines at the basurero and tells her about El Sil's beca program for disadvantaged youth. He's got four to give away and Carrlos is the first recipient. Mariano want Ines to help him find 3 more lucky indigent youth.
Esme goes to visit Rita for a card reading. Rita's cards foretell a lonely future for Esme...WITHOUT the babies (say what?)

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of November 17, 2014.
My Dear Reinamaniacs:
If we were Telemundo programming executives, we would surely see the wisdom in running this witty little spoof of a telenovela through the powerful maw of the network Plot-Compactor.™ We would understand why two or three whole episodes are being crammed into a time slot meant to accommodate only one. We would realize that whole episodes of Reina could not be shown late at night or early in the morning because... well, just because.
But since we are mere viewers, we can only marvel at the incoherent mess that the Plot-Compactor produces and at its uncanny ability to remove all narrative flow (and almost every light-hearted moment) from Marcela Citterio's brilliant, if wonderfully insane and convoluted story.
In case you missed last week's conversation in this space, listen up. We've decided to try a slightly different approach to recapping. Since in this case, the Dragon is in the details, as of Thursday, November 13, we started telling the story one Mexican episode at a time -- A Chapter a Day -- regardless of how it is broadcast in the United States.

Blogger Update: New Update from Madelaine
Madelaine just sent a new update on her health today....
Hola Y'all,
I've had two little set backs. I went back in the hospital twice. The first was a complete heart check. Things were fine. The second was to drain that lung again. I am now done with the radiation treatment. I am continuing to recover. It's funny in a way, I have now been on all floors of the hospital, and they all know me. I even got two cards from them, one from oncology, and one from cardiac floor. They called me the crazy Texan, too funny. My name may be Madelaine Fails, but Mads never Fails, how about that.
I feel so blessed for having Mr. Mads as my hubby, my wonder daughter Mia, the home nurses that come check on me, the physical therapists that work with me, and Y'all for being family to me and sending me all those wonderful cards, earworms, gift cards and to the person, you know who you are, who sent me Alborada, I thank you so much. God Bless you, your prayers, and warm feelings. I think of you everyday.
Cheers,

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo, #85 A Busy Day at the Hospital Waiting Room
This recap seems to read like bulletpoints, but the scenes were actually just short and to the point throughout the episode.
We begin with Ana praying with the children that Don Nico will be alright. And under TN rules, when something is prayed for, it will be so. So there you have it. We know that Nico will pull through. Phhew!
Ximena is on her way out the door, when her mama stops her asks her if she thought about what they talked about. Xi wants to talk about it later, that is, if mama is still going to be around. Mama (don’t know her name) says she will be there for as long as she needs her. Xi pulls away suddenly and says ‘who are you and what have you done with my selfish and egocentric mother?’ Did Xi pray for her mother to change her attitude? If so, then that will explain the new improved attitude.

La Gata #55 11/14/14 La Confusión
Just a quick run down from memory. It might be a little out of order (or a lot...) I really just stuck to the main events. I'm sure I missed some things.
The motín (rebellion) continues. Pablo tries to talk-down the Cyclops/Unibrow.
Augie and El Sil discuss assets. El Sil reminds him that all the assets are his, BUT there is some mine near the ranch that Augie insists is his. He bought it after El Sil went to jail. Augie tries a little groveling and El Sil reminds Augie that he had no pity when El Sil was begging all those years ago.

FAMILY FEUD
Ana’s answer to The Big Question is another question: why didn’t Don Fernando fight for their love? Because I was an idiot! No, she reasons, it was because he didn’t love her enough.
Nando takes Edith Munster home after their miraculous drowning rescue of Xi from the pool. (Makes me curious if Edith-Death-Becomes-Her instead of St. Peter was the first thing Xi saw when regaining consciousness, did Xi think she’d succeeded in her suicide attempt?)
Ana finally sleeps on the rough jail cell bench and dreams a combo of Cinderella and Ice with a type of competition for her two contending Prince Charmings and two slippers, neither of which fits. It turns into a nightmare. (Kiddie fare. FF>>)
Bruno’s still a mental case.
The next morning the airing of the family laundry is pretty rank as Ana and Don Fernando return to a pacing and very angry and accusative Diego. Don Nicolas tells him he’s past the line. Why? He reproaches Ana for cheating on him with his big brother. What? How?...Why???? “—My heart is yours????” that’s why. He saw the whole thing—practically—on tape, especially that kiss. Ruh-roh. Doesn’t matter that Ana tries to defend her defending him. He saw what he saw. Doesn’t matter that Estefania left him because of his footloose and fancy-free life-style, not to mention any number of infidelities before Don Fernando and she became an item., and yadda, yadda. Ana reminds all three men that she was very clear about her confusion and her feelings towards DF from the very beginning.
Meanwhile, Nando prepares Xi-I want-it–painted-black for her mother’s return to take responsibility finally for her daughter’s condition.
Bety learns over at the company offices that Enrique has been named the interim president. She’ll continue as the prez’s sexratary BTW. Celebration time. They enter the office. He tells her to box up DF’s stuff. He barks at her over DF’s unsigned letter of resignation.
Leon gets another bill for Tamara’s unpaid funeral expenses along with a threat he’ll be sued if the bill isn’t paid ASAP. (Don’t these people ever think ahead and just go with what they can afford?) Yawn.
Alicia and BFF continue with their computerized femme fatale fiction. FF>>
The argument spins out—“And if I did approach Ana, so what? You gonna come after me?” It ends in a slug fest till Don Nico drops over from a heart attack due to the anxiety and upset. Isabrooda blames Ana, natch, but Ana tells her to stuff it.
The family ends up at the hospital where Don Nico dreams about the happy times with his grand kids.
Reeky finds out from Bety, while surfing the net or something else equally as productive…. that Don Nico’s in the hospital with serious heart problems. He’s smiling from ear to ear as she walks out of the room. His culminating act of venganza papa for papa cannot be very far off now. He tells Isa later that his plan is to insure that DF continues to believe they’re closest of friends.
The doctor comes out to tell Jennifer that he’ll need open heart surgery. 50-50 chance of survival.
Xi’s momma returns and offers a solution: go to a therapeutic ranch in the U.S. where they treat people specifically afflicted with Bi-Polar disease. “--Do it for your boyfriend, at least?” Xi looks like she might agree with her for once.
Ana returns home to tell the kids about their granddad when they arrive home from school. In the meanwhile she saves Bruno, still a memory-less mental case, from being harassed and abused by Yo-low Yolanda as she tries undressing him in her bedroom after claiming they’ve been lovers this whole time. FF>>FF>>
Reeky arrives at the hospital to give his respects to DF and family as they wait for the results of the surgery. DF suggests it was Linda who planned the scandal. Reeky quickly agrees it had to have been.
Isa shows up next and gives her emotional support—as a friend. He falls for it. He’s too blinded by the pain and guilt of all that’s transpired to be thinking clearly.
Once the kids arrive home, Ana explains the situation about Don Nico and the group of them begin praying for his recovery.

La Gata #54 Thursday, 11-13-14 Hurry Up! . . . .and wait
We begin riding along with Virginia and Esme in a car talking about
Mariano and Augie discuss El Sil’s next move: the preventive embargo is something the complainant does when he’s sure he’ll win the case. Augie agrees it is what he would do in El Sil’s position. Lorenza can’t believe they’re talking so impersonally as if it were just another legal case. This is our life, our ruin! Mariano wants Augie to admit his guilt, his crime. Lo reminds Mariano that thanks to this “immorality", he (Mariano) is a lawyer today and not to forget these problems affect him, too, Augie tells Mariano to do what his conscience tells him and don’t worry about his.
Gisela tells Pablo about the embargo. Pablo says he knows how his mother is going to take it. She says only El Sil can save them. Pablo states he has no influence over El Sil who initiated the embargo in the first place. So you’re turning your back on your parents too?
In a short breather from Gisela we see Carlos walking with Esme and Virginia in the background. Esme assures Carlos he will be free soon, his case is being worked on.
Back to Pablo telling Gisela he doesn’t know what he can do. Exasperated but stern she says so you want me to go back to your parents and tell them you can do absolutely nothing for them? Esme walks up. She and Pablo kiss warmly. Gisela decides to leave, thinks better of it and then lays into Esme with a verbal projectile vomiting of Lorenza’s lamentations: She’s leaving your parents in the kind of misery she’s all too used to; she’s encouraging El Sil in his revenge; she hates your parents.
