La Sombra del Pasado #58 5/7/15 Descent into Stupid
I felt ambivalent
Silvia came to see Cris and told him exactly where Aldonza was and where she was sleeping. Which Cris took to mean "sleeping with Renato"...not "she was tired and needed some rest so she took Renato's room while he slept in the guest room." She practically begs Cris to go to the DF and cause a scene so Aldonza will get out of Renato's life. Cris figures out that Silvia loves Renato.
Dominga and Irma discuss their idiot children. Lola is still wanting Emanuel, but she's with that Pato/Ganso/Whatever guy. Mari wants E-man too, but can't seem to see he wants Lola.
Joaquin and Eman have hangovers. They barely remember the night before. They decide Eman can stay with Joaquin. Good. Housing taken care of.
The police go to Las Animas looking for Abelardo. Cande tells them to come back in a few days when her husband is back. She alerts Sev to their visit.
Lardo gets permission from Tomas's parents to stay with them. He catches Pru and Tomas snogging.
I probably shouldn't be ambivalent about this, but Aldonza tells Renata about the wedding plans that didn't pan out because she caught Cris kissing his ex.
Eman does go visit Hum at the office. Hum at least knows he's safe.

La Sombra del Pasado, 05-05-2015, Capítulo 56
Here you go: One recap, light on the snark, heavy on the smh and rolling eyes.
Long story short: Aldie bought into Cande/Val’s tired plot and went back to DF. Emmanuel called Val out and is moving out. Pru slapped Lardo in front of Irma, who asked Mari about it. Mari threw a mini fit because everything’s always about Lardo. Sim called Las Animas for Sev, but Cris picked up and might be suspicious. At the end, Sev is literally lurking in the shadows of the burnt apartment, listening to Ren and Aldonza discuss the situation.
Long version: My recording oddly skipped the refrito and a little of the new, so I come in thinking I’m going to see Aldie rolling her eyes at Val’s ridiculous ploy BUT NO!!! Instead there’s Val leaning on Cris’s shoulder, promising she never meant to get him into this mess. Forgive me, she sighs dramatically. She’s exiting stage right when Cris yanks her back, wondering where the heck she’s going, having apparently imploded his life.

Padre Jeronimo gets a visit from Satan and his wife La Sombra Del Pasado#55 May4th, 2015
Aldonza and Cris come to the conclusion that Candela did not tell them the whole truth but they swear that the news regrading their parents ugly past won't keep them apart and then they kiss.
Cris leaves and Aldonza picks on her aunt for keeping things from her, she wants to know if her dad ever figured out that his wife was sleeping with Sev, Adelina says Ray did find out but that he did nothing once he learned the truth cause he kinda died. Aldonza tells her that if she finds out that she lied and kept things from her she will never forgive her. That is so not cool. Why does Adelina have to suffer through this? She did nothing wrong!

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #182 5/4/15 INFERNO
From Friday:
We relive scenes from Sofia and Chava's wedding: The rings, the vows, the guests - Alexa looks like she jumped out of the shower in a hurry and just ran a comb through her hair. She looks awful. I notice Isadora is one of the guests, so apparently not all the Peraltas hate the Ripolls. The priest pronounces the couple husband and wife and we get a close up of DZ's sloppy kissing. Mercifully, he doesn't jam his tongue down her throat. Chava tells Sofia that they'll be together till the end of the world. The way he stalked her was there ever any doubt she'd never get rid of him?

- Armando assumes that Lupe went to heaven and tells Nandito not to expect a dinner invitation for a home cooked meal over at Chava's anymore.
- Alexa is bitchin' about Armando to Paolo when she gets a call from Dani. Dani informs her sister that Lupe was murdered. Alexa's all shocked, but says that she can't attend the funeral because she has a movie to make. She sends Chava her condolences and says that she'll call him when she is less busy.
- It's standing room only at the funeral and Lupe's body's not warm, but Greta is already making the moves on Don Paco before any of the other hussies from the hood can get to him. Greta takes her place beside him on the itty bitty pews. Marisol, Chava and Sophia sit across the aisle from them. Marisol hopefully eyes the door, but Patrick never appears. He's in bed with Silvana.

New Telenovela: Lo imperdonable starts May 18, 2015
Martín (Iván Sánchez) hurries to Mina Escondida after getting an urgent letter from his brother begging to be rescued from the hell in which he's living. On arrival, Martin despairs upon finding out that Demetrio (Pablo Montero), his brother, has committed suicide. His sorrow is transformed into hatred and a thirst for vengeance against the woman who caused his brother suffering and brought him to death.
Full of resentment, Martín swears before the tomb of his brother that he will get revenge against this ruthless woman, he will cause her to fall in love and he will drag her to the green hell of this jungle in which he will despise her as she despised his brother.
The first clue to the culprit's identity is a medallion his brother always kept with him, engraved with the name "V. Prado Castelo." Martin returns to the capital, knowing that Prado Castelo is the biggest jewelry business in the country. He aims to grow close to the family. He makes the acquaintance of Emiliano (Sergio Sendel), only heir to the fortune, newly arrived in México after years of absence.
Martín meets Verónica (Ana Brenda) and Virginia (Grettell Valdez), Emiliano's cousins who were adopted by the elder Prado Castelo. Martín is struck by Veronica's beauty and her force of character. He is not, however, her only admirer: Emiliano has returned with the intention of marrying her, having loved her since childhood - not realizing the one who is obsessed with him is Virginia.
Little by little Martin falls in love with Verónica but believes the lies Virginia tells about her, including that she had caused Demetrio to fall in love and had then abandoned him….

Amores con trampa #25 Alcohol turns people around... makes some sick while it brings the dark side in others
At the club, Yoya is confused, she never thought Diego would really be interested in her. Diego forces a kiss on her just in time for Frances to bring in Feli to see them. Feli looks angry but doesn't do anything. Diego gets them all to sit together only for Yoya to have to watch Francis kissing Feli all over.
Beto rants at Gallo about letting Yoya go with that 'pelafustan' (jerk)... Gallo is hessitant to do anything, says 'she looked so pretty!'... Maria also says 'you know Yoya...' (meaning Yoya is very stubborn) Perpetua says the same. Porfirio just wants to watch tele... Beto insists they have to go get Yoya. Gallo says lets wait till she calls again. Beto insists, gets louder... says Diego is not that 'straight/proper'. He tells them Diego is using Yoya to get back at him for taking Rocio away. Porfirio yells that the Carmonas are 'straight' and they have to show that 'tipo' (Diego) that he has to be 'straight' with them. Beto insists they have to go get her. Gallo and Maria and grandma worried, Grandpa looks a bit boozed up to really have any say or thought on the subject.
At club, Diego manages to turn off Yoya's cell phone (so the Carmonas can't call her). She is spitting/(barfing?) on him, feeling bad for all the booze she has had. She faints in Feli's arms... He tries to get her to respond.
At the Carmonas, Gallo is getting ansi by now... Porfirio thinks they are talking about killing a pig to make Carnitas... they explain its about Diego... Porfirio repeats one of his classics 'that is not good/right'. Then Maria uses this situation to repeat her whinning about 'i wanted to go back to the fields'.
Back at the club, this is all turning totally 180 degrees from what Diego and Francis wanted. far from turning to Frances, Feli still has Carmen in his arms and is really concerned about her, yells at Diego for letting her drink... Yoya is beginning to respond... but bends over when she sees she is in Feli's arms. Feli yells at Francis to take her to ladies room, Francis looks like she would rather peel a whole sack of potatoes than do that...
Isa calls Esteban and threatens him that if he is lying to her about Estefi and Santi NOT being together, he will be sorry. He hangs up with Isa and it turns out Stefi is there with him... he warns Stefi that Isa is more dangerous than she seems. He leaves, Stefi seems to have taken that warning more as a dare from the facial expression she puts...
Back to the club... In ladies room, Francis tells Yoya that she and Feli saw her kissing Diego... she even took pictures. Francis suggests Yoya keep Diego who is free... and assures her she doesn't even exist for Feli. Francis comes out of ladies room... tells Diego the kiss he gave Yoya was not enough, he has to do his 'thing' with her on the way to take her home... Diego protests, that was not the plan, he does not even want anyone seeing him with Yoya.
In a flash, Diego and Yoya arrive at the Carmona's driveway... Diego tells Yoya he is beginning to like her for real (yeah right!... well, there is a chance he really means this) and kisses her again just in time for Beto and Gallo to see them... Beto goes irate, he wants to beat Diego to a pulp, but Gallo sends him with Yoya to go in the house and warns Diego that if he touched even a hair of Yoya he will be the one to hunt down (no stone unturned) and beat/kill Diego.

Que Te Perdone Dios #73 - The Phantom of the Opera is Here, Inside My Mind
New: Pat is loving the restaurant, and I have to agree. I think it's very progressive of this novela to show this experience. But there's no call for Pat to start emoting Mat-style, which he does. He spills some wine (that must happen a lot), and then Renata wants Pat to "see" her by touching her face. Before long they are "seeing" each other's faces with their "lips," in an all-out necking session. At least nobody can see them.
Max calls Abi at her hotel and crassly uses his parents' death to generate sympathy, to get her to agree to have dinner with him. After hanging up, he calls her, "Estupida," a la Macaria.
At the secret casino that so many know about, Lucio joins Fausto and Marcelino, and proceeds to get the best of Marcelino. In an indecent proposal, Lucio suggests Marc bet his wife, since he has run out of cash. Elsewhere, Julian and 'Black Hand' (Mano Negra) are satisfied with their first night. Julian reveals that he's not into playing dad for Tono, and that Fausto should be given everything free to keep a good relationship with las autoridades.

Labels: hasta
La Sombra del Pasado #52 4/29/15
Please remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The Shortest Version:
- Cristobal wants to marry Aldonza. Yeah. It's a crazy idea. He gives her time to think about it though. He'll be waiting for her at noon tomorrow at El Santuario. If she doesn't show up, he'll leave her alone for good.. (If you are dying to know what happens, skip to the end of the recap.)
- Renato talks Silvia into working with him on Aldonza's case. Recapper loses all respect for Silvia when she accepts his offer (Because really girlfriend, this is your only option? Working with the man you love to help him suck up to another woman?)
- Renato's mother left him a ton of money. At least I assume it's a lot. He seemed gobsmacked and asked if there was some error. Surely that's code for "HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOT OF ZEROS."
- Sev slithers out of the accusation that he caused Padre's accident.
- Valeria tells Aldonza that things are just going *gush*SO WELL*gush* with Cristobal and soon they might be *gush*TALKING ABOUT A WEDDING*gush* (Please note: "gush" is code for "the recapper is puking".)
- Aldonza calls Val on her sh!t: Hmmm. That's interesting, Val. Because I saw you and Abelardo playing tonsil hockey outside the clinic.
- Val yells at Abelardo because someone saw them kissing. In the open. In broad daylight. With no shame.

La Sombra del Pasado, 04-28-2015, Capitulo 51
Paragraph summary: Hum realizes Sev’s a monster.
Long paragraph: Humberto is up in arms over Sev’s implied orders, but Sev says he shouldn’t take life so seriously. Especially other peoples’ lives. Besides, he’s only suggesting that Hum help PJ…to die well. Maybe this has opened Hum’s eyes a little because now he can see that Sev’s a monster and he tells him so. Sev says that may be, but they’re the same. The only difference is that Hum’s a hypocrite and Sev isn’t. Hum sits down and tells Sev that’s he’s starting to realize Sev’s much, much worse than he thought. Sev’s glad he’s figured that out because they still have to resolve the matter of El Santuario. He hasn’t pressed about it because he didn’t want to affect Val and Cris’s relationship. Hum notes that there is no relationship anymore, but Sev thinks that that might change. He has the gall to look to heaven and say “with God’s help” on this point, as though he didn’t just ask Hum to kill a priest.
Paragraph summary: Ren updates Aldonza on the apt and the job debacle.
Long paragraph: Aldonza calls Ren for an update. He’s promised the neighbors that they’ll come to a fair recompense for the damage. Aldonza wants to know where they’ll get the money. Ren again advises her to fix and sell the apartment. She doesn’t want to, but she’ll think about it. Yes, he says, but they don’t have much time. Meanwhile, she asks what he’s going to do about his job situation. He’ll look elsewhere, but he’ll take Pato and Silvia with him wherever he goes because they also got fired because of this whole thing. Oh, well in that case, Aldonza agrees, it’s the least he can do for them. He hopes Silvia’s open to the idea because she won’t even talk to him right now. Aldie advises him to give her time.

Amores con Trampa #21 & #22 4/27/15-4/28/15
Straight to the new!
María spent the night worrying. Facundo never made it home. They've fought before, but he didn't stay away all night. Abuela tells Maria to wait until he gets home and they can talk things over. Women know how to turn their husbands around. Maria laments that Facundo even turned off his phone. Her finger is swollen from calling him all night! Abuelo comes in and tells them to change up breakfast...except for the boiled eggs. Carmen and Beto also arrive and Carmen asks about her father. Beto is a chip off the old block and blames his mother (that's María) for Facundo's absence. Jacinto and Susana are the BEST!! Jacinto doesn't give a rip if Beto is bigger--he tells his big brother not to talk to his mother that way. Susana gets in there too...fists ready for action. Go girl! Beto repeats that if Facundo spent the night elsewhere, it's María's fault.
At the hotel Isa prays that God forgive her for what she's about to do. It's the only way for the family to avoid ruin. She snuggles up to a naked Facundo. He wakes up with a start. They both start freaking out. Poor Facundo tries to make sense of things "What happened? Did it happen? Did it not happen? Ay Dios mío! I don't remember!" Isa does "remember". EVERYTHING happened! She starts to apologize as Facundo begins to worry about María finding out. In comes Santiago!

Quiero Amarte (Week 32-Apr 27) Highlights & Discussion
There are four sizes:
1. Full-body size (FBS)—the character will not recover and most likely will serve time in a confined space (this could include a coffin, e.g. Horacio Espinoza)
2. Rib-crushing size (RCS)—the character will recover but will be disgraced (e.g. Constanza)
3. Leg-fracturing size (LFS)—the character will be inconvenienced for having been mean or aided and abetted a major antagonist (e.g. Becca)
4. Nail-breaking size (NBS)—the character is unaware they caused any harm or interfered (e.g. Vale at her snotty worst)
We know certain characters have tried to wreck the lives and plans of other characters (like Cesar did to Lucio and Manuel), but let’s stick to the main protagonists. Dig back into your memory banks and pull out some who may have faded into the mists on Mexican mountains. Have Fun.

Amores con Trampa April 24 2015... the fashion show wrapped in deceptions, dissappointments and appologies. and one villain team mystery solved... i see duos of villains everywhere...
Pancha tries to convince Chabelle that she needs to pull Fel away from Car or she will have to get used to the 'farm channel' scent of the month.
Lo nuevo:
Carmen is showing Fel some of her modeling steps she will use in the catwalk... (eh... pastorela... eh... pasarela). Carmen is very excited about the modeling stint. Chabelle asks Fel if he is trading Pancha for Carmen. She says she can tolerate the Carmonas but she does not want the farmers to join the 'family'
Maria and Facundo in bedroom(they are wearing ALMOST matching plaid pajama pants)... she wants to talk to him about the knitting... he is excited to announce to her they will celebrate their anniversary in a BIG way. (are we talking elephants or giraffes instead of horses and goats now?)
Next morning the lovebirds are telling the rest of the family about the celebration plans. Mother Galla warns them they have to hide all the valuables for the celebration so none of them dissappear. El Gallo wants everyone to know what a great perfect wife he has.
nighttime... at Velascos, Chabelle is getting ready (quite ellegant outfit/jewelry) for the fashion show. Santi asks if tonight will be THAT special. why spend so much on HER outfit? She argues she feels useful and valuable for the first time in a long time. SHe does not think his presence would add much. He is happy to hear that, more time to spend with his Steffffi.
Maria and Carmen are getting dressed. Susana and Margarito (the pig) come in. the others ask her not to tell on them.
Maria and Carmen get to go out, Facundo only ranted a little about the length of Carmen's skirt.
Meanwhle Steffffiiii is with Estevan... they are toasting to deceiving Santi and the farmer and will end up with all the farmer's money... jajajajaja...
Maria and Carmen have made it to the dressing area of the fashion show. The designer is there to help Carmen get ready. He yells at all the makeup/stylists just lke a good designer would. He has a surprise. The last model is none other than... the white rabit!... nah... Wendy Thomas!... nah... none other than PANCHA!!!! Carmen not a happy camper, rather she looks like someone just took her ice cream away. To add insult to injury Fel came in with Pancha.
Santi finds Steffi's door locked. Estevan is hiding behind a plant while Steffi is tryng to calm down Santi who is miffed at finding the door locked.
Chabelle is working the next step of her plan... she tells El Gallo that his wife lied to him, she deceived him and never stopped working on the shawls. she is now at the fashion show. El Gallo looks like he just saw his favorite hen necking with the Gallo from three hen houses down.

I'm in step with those who are watching Amores Con Trampa but still catching up to La Sombra del Pasado (cap 25) and Que Te Perdone Dios (cap 34), but the sexism is getting to me. I totally get that rural environments are often more sexist than urban ones and what's going on in ACT makes a certain amount of sense.

As they are leaving, Dani rushes in and thanks Peralta for putting up the ransom. Without it, she would've be in the Christian's unwilling bride. Dani leaves and Chava barges in. He begs for five minutes of Sophia's time. Peralta tells Chava he and Sophia have dinner reservations and he will definitely be trying to get in Sophia's pants. Chava becomes all enraged in stuff. He begs Sophia not to put that seducution visualization into his brain
Cruz Residence-Kitchen: Marisol is all pissed at Chava for literally c*ck blockin' Patrick! Chava asked Dani not to allow her to work late. Lupe tells Marisol that she agrees with Chava.

Que Te Perdone Dios #67: Pity Party for One?
Cap 67
• Abigail races over to the Montero place to help Toño through his drunken sob-fest.
• Abi learns Tony's pissed cuz he’s pissed to have learned that Simona lied to him all his life about not really being his mother. How would she feel if she found out the same? Abi frowns big-time. It doesn’t look very good for Renata’s Tale of Truth.
• Meanwhile, the cops do an end run around Julian-lio to bring him to Com. Barragan’s office for a sit-down. Comandante explains that there’s no proof Simona killed Mia. She’s about to be let free unless El Lio de Juli or his “sister,” Diana have some other complaint.
• Macaria and Fausto get into a game of chicken over whose threat is greater re: Who Shot J.R.—er…Pablo. He takes out The Gun from his office safe as she watches closely, wipes the barrel off, just in case after all these years there might still be a print or two of his, and then calls Barragan’s office to have him come over with information leading to the case. Rotten shame, he says, if you serve a life sentence for the murder of a man I killed! Just as Barragan arrives, the argument subsides as Feisty has won this battle of wits with Mac also. It's Jaque-mate. Checkmate! Vicenta is told through the closed office door to send Barragan home due to a “cancelled appointment.”
• Abi returns home and explains to Ren about Tony and his predicament. No way she’d ever forgive anyone telling her that the woman who raised her wasn’t really her mother. Of course, she adds, it would be just another lie of many around there for her.
• Ren visits Simona in jail to pay her respects and empathize with her over the rotten way Tony has rejected her. She returns home and promptly loses her courage over coming clean with Abi about being her real mother. She remembers Mac’s snide threats from earlier, Abi’s declaration and feels totally helpless.

La Sombra del Pasado, 04-21-2015, Capitulo 46, Aldie's stepped in it, but everyone's shoes are covered OR Sh*t hits the fan and all the good guys are splattered
Hey guys. I’m a little scattered this week, so I apologize if I forgot anything.
Re-re-cap-cap: Lola runs off, Eman calls after her, Pato tells him to back off. Sim/Viv runs into Lola, offers some generic comfort and invites her to dinner. Hum tells Sev he’s back on Team Sevil.
New Stuff: Hum tells Sev that PJ is on the Case of the Missing Love Child which worries Hum because he actually has an actual conscience that actually bothers him sometimes. Sev, in addition to an arm and heart, is missing that too, so he’s not worried; PJ can’t prove anything.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #172 4/20/15 Is This the End for Silvana?
Monday's Episode:
Dani wants to think about something other than her harrowing experience with Iker. She tells Lucas that she is going to work and that she will see him there. They make out in the kitchen while their annoying theme song plays in the background.
Lupe', Marisol and Matias gang up on Chava to let the perpetually sobbing Araceli stay at the house. Chava finally agrees to let her stay and says that while he will support her and the baby, he has no intention of marrying her. Ever. Never, never, never. Ever. End of story. Finito.
The Ripolls gather in Sofia's bedroom to talk about Dani's ordeal over morning coffee. Dani tells them that psycho Iker didn't want money, he wanted her! He was obsessed with Dani and hired thugs to kill Lucas - but the reason he came to the Ripoll house in the first place was to kill Greta!

Amores con trampa 4/20-4/21 La Fiesta and its aftermath
Right to the new
Santiago(Santi) goes to Estefany's house. At least he thinks it's her house. That's where he dropped her off last time. The voice at the other end of the speaker box informs him that there is no Estefany there. Try the house next door. Santi is confused.
In the office, Santi whines to Esteban. He went to Estefany's "house"...or at least he thought it was her house-that's where he dropped her off last time. Esteban tries to tell him "I told you so." Not only did they tell Santi that Estefany didn't live there, they ran him off. HIM! Santi wonders why Estefany should do such a thing. He thought they had a good relationship. Esteban questions "relationship" so Santi concedes that "connection" might be the better word. Esteban tells him to talk to Estefany, but Santi tells him she won't answer her cell (the cell SANTI pays for.) Santi panics. What if she went to Africa? Esteban is sure Santi will find out and come running to tell him. Santi starts to complain that all women are the same-dishonest liars. Luckily, his Puchis is different! Esteban looks at him funny and Santi backtracks and explains that if he's playing this game with Estefany it's because Puchis practically pushed him to to it.

Quiero Amarte (Week 31-Apr 20) Highlights & Discussion
BREAKING NEWS
Don Mauro Montesinos, head of the Montesinos family, chairman and majority shareholder of the Nescafé-Mexico empire and owner of vast coffee lands in Chiapas, has been missing and presumed dead for many weeks. Most of his family members cannot believe he is dead. In breaking news it seems a Dr. Marco Antonio Linares, newly arrived head of the Chiapas medical clinic, has been instrumental in identifying him as being alive (and to his own surprise, identifying him also as his father). Don Mauro is in serious but not critical condition upon being rescued. He is alive thanks to two individuals who prefer to remain anonymous. Family members had gathered in the Montesinos Mansion in Mexico City, expecting a family reunion that never took place. They have yet to be informed of Mauro’s recovery and status. This story has not been officially confirmed, but sources close to the scene have indicated it is credible. More news on the family’s reaction as it comes in to News Central.

Labels: sombra
Amores con trampa #15 17 Apr 2015... the setup for a very entertaining birthday party!! Carmen gets a bit of 'right back at you babe!' to Francis
Alejandra and Rocio, Rocio is a nice big sister.
repeat of Isa dreaming with Facundo (a bit more of the dream, they are kissing, sharing a strawberry and some pancakes... "que rico!!")
Lo nuevo:
Santi wakes Isa up, he is really angry, jealous that she was dreaming of Facundo and the dream looked quite graphic... 'no tienes verguenza!!' (you have no shame!!)
Isa again rants back at him that Santi is the one that asked her to seduce the charrito montaperros.
they have a bit of a pillowfight. Santi yells at the rooster to keep singing (cocoodling).
At the college, turns out Francis converted the video clips of Carmen hitting her car into making a caricature of Carmen as a 'rancherita loca'. Francis mocks Carmen in front of everyone at school. Francis declares the war on her directly. This is only the beginning, if you insist with MY BF, you will end up worse. Carmen walks away. Francis runs to latch to Felipe but he did not miss the fact that the video was uploaded by some 'Frank Lop'. She steals a kiss from him and Carmen sees it.
Back at the house... Diego came to see Rocio... ISa warns them she does not want 'naco'-related scandals. Diego is angry at Rocio, she says we were splitting up already. He rants at her and realizes she is wearing a chain/pendant that Beto gave her. He rips it right off her neck.
Rocio rants that Diego was never charming or delicate with her. Diego warns her that once the 'farmer' learns about her 'not so normal' features he will get away from her. Rocio says i was looking for a reason to split with you but this is more than enough. Diego warns her she will come back to him begging.

La sombra del pasado #43 4/16/15 There are dirty words. Read with caution.
El Refrito
Severiano(Sev) convinces Candela(Cande to let down her hair.
Lo Nuevo
It's late and Slivia is surprised Renato is still in his office and notes how tense he is. It's understandable. He's dealing with the death of his mother and his unrequited love for Aldonza. Sylvia gets mighty handsy and asks about how things are going with Aldonza. Renato confesses that things are not going well. He fears it's a lost battle. Sylvia takes this to mean "please kiss me" and she obliges. Renato responds, but soon gets himself under control and tells he tells Sylvia that what they are doing is not a good idea. Sylvia disagrees and continues applying her stress relieving techniques. Little Renato takes over...if you know what I mean.

Que Te Perdone Dios#62: More Snitfits From The Misfits
• We learn that Diego is the bastard son Constanza could never give Bruno and he was kept close to the house with his abuela after his mother left for parts unknown. (Bruno kicked the bucket before ever squaring things with Diego—that is, if he ever meant to. Personally, I don’t think he would’ve liked eating that much crow.)
• Renata is gasp-gasp-impactada to hear that Fausto is Mateo’s baby daddy, knows it and that Mat is ignorant of the fact. Helena imparts her em-bare-assing story to Renata. Considering the truth ain't out for real yet, the two broads cluck to each other and assume that Feisty, being in the room when his brother “took his own life” probably was affected horribly which accounts for his nasty, anti-social behavior? Pobre de Fausto! (Yeah, my heart bleeds. Another victim of supposed circumstance.) And pobre de Hellie who says she didn’t stop to think what the consequences would be (in blurting the truth out on your wedding day to your intended you mean???) so badly was she needing to clear her conscience about her affair. She blames herself for that tragedy. (Well at least you have figured that much out over that past 30 years.)
• Simona is thrilled to speak to her lawyer and tells Father Tomas as much. When she tells Tom that Max’s aunt Ximena sent him from Mexico City to help her pro bono, they both mistakenly assume that it was Max’s idea.

Esteban doubts that since all of the money has been spent on wages, the collateral for the new company, and the 2 million pesos he gave to Estefany. Santiago sees the latter as an investment to gain the trust of Estefany. Santiago figues that with the rest of the money he will rob from Facundo as well as the money he will get from Estefany, he'll be set for life.
In the kitchen, María and grandma Perpétua are discussing the dirty air of the city. The conversation moves on to grandma trying to talk María into workingwith Isabel she on the business opportunity Isabel is offering her. She sees it as a chance for María to do something for herself. María is confused. Grandpappy Porfirio is hungry and stops by and gets 2 hardboiled eggs. (He never misses a chance.)

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 61 -Discussion(Recap) Full Recap
Present: ( Some scenes were merged)
( I must say the Bar-Ren scenes were quite hard scenes to recap , they would have took me ages to recap in perfection and i am not in the mood to drag this for too long since by the time I finish them Fausto would have already became Dictator ! ) To sum the scenes all up , Bar was basically shredding Ren to bits for her supposed secretive and manipulative ways that dragged Pab to the Pits just so that she could marry Fausto in clean white glory . Bar also accuses of now playing with Pat's emotions like Pab's , playing a mask of innocence and for forcing Abi to live with Mac to hide her embarrassing secrets but he"s not surprised at all since that's what rich people are known for right? . Ren keeps claiming that she"s innocent , constantly defending her guts from the ranting Bar who shares a face of Terminator and informs him that he should know that she was a victim too but Bar won't listen to her but promises that Abi will be told nothing cause it would utterly destroy her cause her very mother decided to raise her not & has ashamed of her . Ren exclaims that she has always protected and watched over her but Bar is not satisfied much, after Brutus croaked nothing could hold Ren hostage ( Except the Ogre who must not be named nor has a name nor soul neither emotion less for his Hat still remains ) He himself will not forgive her abandonment , may God do it Yo No!

Melesio goes to see Aldonza after the shooting. Aldonza blames Sev, but Mel says he’s not so sure. Besides, without proof, they can’t just accuse anyone.

La sombra del pasado #40 4/13/15
Rewind: Severiano (Sev) reams Abelardo (Lardo) out. (Renato) Ren’s shirtless post-shower phone convo. (Candela) Cande suspects Sev of cheating. (Cristobal) Cris suspects both of his parents of attempted murder.
Play: Cande goes apoplectic. How dare Cris accuse them of something so low?! How humiliating! Unlike Cande, Cris doesn’t have apparent short term memory loss, so he reminds his mom that she interrupted a funeral mass and slapped the bereaved. That was completely different! Cande insists. (Yes, villains never think the rules apply to them.) Sev steps in to say that what hurts the most is that Cris believes the priest (here he gives Cande a hard look), who’s had Sev entre ceja y ceja (=between eyebrows; had his eyes on him) more than his own parents. This means nothing to Cris, who simply asks again if it was them. Sev screams back that he doesn’t have to take this disrespect. Cande cuts him off and says that it’s one thing for them to hate Aldonza, for obvious reasons, but quite another for them to be criminals. Sev orders Cris to get out of his sight and for a second Cris looks like he thinks he really f*d up with his folks, but then he warns them that if he finds out they’re behind this mess, he himself will denounce them to the police.

Quiero Amarte (Week 30-April 13) Highlights & Discussion
For Dr. Guapo Marco Antonio Linares (aka Baby Boy Montesinos) parentage to be revealed. Here's hoping he goes to El Paraiso for a visit very soon.
To figure out why Candy Seller (aka Dulce for me) has appeared so late in this story.
To learn why Sal is still hanging around.
For Mauro to SHOW UP ALIVE, for heaven's sake. It's been too long, already.
For Cesar and Lucrecia to learn Florencia has been long dead. HaHa, the "joke" is on them.
For Cecy and Uli to get the heck out of the lives of Ivan and Mariana.
For Flavia and Heriberto to share more than work, a bonfire and distributing flyers.
To clear up the seeming mystery, perpetuated by certain characters not in the telenovela, that Consta's baby is not Max's.
To see how Max and Amaya will ever be able to get back together before the end.
Let your speculations abound!

Que Te Perdone #59: Dog In A Manger Danger for Mat; Mac Is Made; And Sacramental Sin May Be “In”
Fortunately for those of us in Viewerville who’d just eaten, Fausto suddenly comes to his senses. He stops himself from ruining his whole political future through the folly of forcing himself onto his sleeping “foster daughter,” and thus causing a sordid sex scandal the likes of which that pueblocito has NEVER seen. Renata comes into the hall. Feisty is safely there and tells her he’s just on his way to bed, that didn’t want to disturb her. He then walks off, presumably to take a quick cold shower before bed.
