Amores con Trampa #40 ... Facundo has taken over the company, even the company name and cut Santees salary to less than half... Also seems the homes Santee was trying to sell would not stand to the set of a town hall theater play, Facundo and Beto not happy about that...
Maria calls Santee and
lets him know Facundo is planning some event/party at the company this
afternoon. Santee thanks Maria for the heads up and says to himself 'you will
see the party i will put out for you...'
Facundo meets with some
of the construction workers and mentions 'that thing which i told you for this
afternoon'. Esteban comes in and assures Facundo he has not spilled the beans
about the afternoon party with Santee. Facundo reminds Esteban that now
HE is the biggest voice/vote in the company since Facundo called it 'MY
company'. Esteban thinks to himself that Facundo is not as dumb as he thought,
that it will be more complicated to get his plan executed. Esteban leaves.
Facundo sends the other men away.
Beto tells Facundo that
whatever food (garnachas?) he wanted is ready for the afternoon. Facundo starts
practicing his 'talk' as an enterpeneur-OTE! LOL!
Isa talks with
Alejandra, Felipe and Santee... Isa says you have to be 'ready' for love, and
in her opinion Felipe is not ready for marriage. Then since noone likes
her opinion, she plays the target, the 'villain of the movie' in their eyes.
Isa tells Felipe that when he is ready and he plans the rest of his life
with a woman, the children will come later. Isabel says at least you did
not choose the farmer. Felipe reacts quickly saying he does not want to
hear anymore about Carmen Yoya. Rocio asks why, he won't tell. Later Felipe
tells Santee he will go to the company since Santee is not in the mood. Santee
proud that Felipe is volunteering for this and 'is a grown man'. Hugs him.
Party is in full
speed... Porfirio is there flirting with the girls who work at the company,
even tries to dance with one of the girls. He uses the card that he is 'the
father of the new chief of the changarro'.
Some guy comes by and
wants to yell a toast for the best boss in the world! Facundo takes over
and asks the men to loosen their ties... and that he will raise everyone's
salary. Maria comes over and Facundo dances with her. Esteban, Yoya,
Gusana and even Margarito are in attendance.
Felipe comes in and
wants to know what is going on, he is irritated. Esteban tells him.
Elevator opens again and yells asking what is going on, he did not know
that there was a party of farmer town with smell of garnacha, fat and
chorizo(sausage). Facundo asks what he is doing there. Felipe says his
uncle is the founder and owner of a part of this company, and does not need an
invitation. Maria is scared about Santee's reaction and claim that noone
invited him. Facundo confirms noone invited him. Porfirio wants to take
over the argument with the 'bravucon y pesao' guy. He takes his hat off
and is ready to have a round of punches with Santee. Facundo steps in the
way and stops Porfirio, asks Beto to take him outside. But Porfirio stops at
the girl he was dancing with ready to take it where he left it off... but
Perpetua is there to stop him and save the poor girl.
Now Santee insults
Facundo about offering him tequila, saying he does not drink tequila, pulque or
mezcal... he only takes whiskey, but can't consume alcohol now because he is
taking anti-depressant and tranquilizer meds now because of what Facundo took
him through.
Facundo announces he is
the new owner of the company, and while he is on that high, he shows everyone
the new name of the company ‘Grupo Carmona’. Santee has what looks like a heart
attack reaction. Felipe grabs him worried. Even Facundo and Maria get worried
since Santee can't breathe well.

Lo Imperdonable #4 Thu 5/21/15 Love at first sight and other thundering feelings
Refrito: Martin and Alfredo talk about Martin’s
need to seek out justice and avenge Demetrio.
Every time I hear Martin compare his younger
brother to a son, I get a creepy vibe. The guy was 8 years younger, it’s not
like you changed his diapers, dude!
The new stuff: The Prado Castello’s talk about
the indigenous jewelry line. Virginia thinks it’s a bad idea, no fancy buyer
would ever want to wear something as old-fashioned and tacky. Before giving an
opinion, Salma wants to know if this was her son’s idea, or Veronica’s. Jorge
thinks it’s a great suggestion, the perfect way for them to honor their ancestry.
Emiliniño is happy that dad likes the idea. They start
discussing the designs, they want to use Maya civilization as inspiration first.
Salma says that she and Virginia should leave now, since business talk doesn’t
concern them.
Virginia is not happy with the outcome of the
discussion and when she and her tia are alone, she starts complaining about
once again Veronica getting her way. Salma is happy that Emiliniño is
interested in business, but Virginia “makes her see” that this is not a good
thing, since it will only mean that Veronica gets to spend more time with him,
while pretending to be interested in working together. He will turn to what
interests him the most – his Hispanic art, and Veronica will be left in charge
of the business. Salma sees the point (of course she does) and when Virginia
turns to tears, she starts consoling the poor baby. Boohoo, Emiliniño will have
no time to spend with me; boohoo, whenever Veronica sees that I like something,
she gets in the way.

Que Te Perdone Dios #87 – Diego Moves On Up, Everybody is Capable of Killing, and Tuteando With Abandon
What I believe is the refrito, as I could not watch the
previous episode: Mateo is demanding explanations from Fausto about why he is
coming out of Abi’s bedroom, and this isn’t even the first time Mat’s seen it
happen. Fausto brushes him off like an annoying insect, plays the wife card to
Mat and then goes to his room and shuts the door. “¡Idiota!” he exclaims. We
know.
New?: Renata is going to cenar at the Enramada, having been
invited by Helena. Enter Fausto, saying what a good time Abi had with him. Ren
is so happy that Abi is happy. Fausto is definitely a changed man. Yep, no
doubt about it. He tells Ren, “I love you so much, and I’ve waited my whole
life to have you love me that way.” This is the side of Fausto that I like,
when he gets his scam on and is willing to say or do whatever in his own
interest (don’t worry, not a quality I would admire in real life), not the
desperate old man trying to seduce a child. Another aside: It seems Fausto had
successfully kept Helena and Renata separated for about 25 years. Does he know
that now that they’re friends, they talk about him? I’m sure that’s exactly why
he didn’t want them getting together.

If you're in Mexico City June 14 you can hear your BLOG MOM sing in the Yiddish version of "American Idol" !!! Also - recommendations?
I am a finalist in the Yiddish songwriting contest called Der Yidisher Idol (or, in Spanish, Der Idisher Idol). They are flying me down to Mexico City to sing in the finals, a concert on June 14 at 6 pm! If you're around you can come! It's at Comunidad Bet-El (click for the map, you must search the location as "Bet Hajaim Comunidad Bet-El"). Click the poster to see a larger version.I will be arriving in town a couple days earlier. I have never been in Mexico before. Any suggestions in Mexico City - attractions, restaurants?
If you want to preview the song I'm singing, here I am with a couple of the members of my band Mappamundi, singing it the day I finished writing it! There are subtitles and the song expresses my world view completely.
It would be fun to meet somebody while I'm there...

La Sombra del Pasado #68 5/21/15
As I usually do , I'm skipping right to the new. And I might make heavy use of the RPC (Recapper's Privilege Card) tonight along with some scene combining.
Severiano(Sev) grabs Sim/Viv by the hair and drags her out to the street. He throws her out of the house and tells her never to come back. He tells her to go back to San Miguel or wherever the hell she wants to go. When she begs to at least be allowed to get her things. Sev reminds her that he paid for all her things. He throws money at her and tells her that all he pay for is her bus fare. (Now, I'm thinking this a pretty public scene. Are people in SL just so afraid of him that they wouldn't dare comment on it? This is perfect material for the gossip capital of the word, don't you think?) Sev gets in his truck and drives away, leaving Sim to snivel on the sidewalk.
Lola is surprised to see Irma at the shop. Irma felt she needed to keep busy so she wouldn't think about Abelardo. Irma knows that time will cure her pain...or she'll at least get accustomed to it. Lola tells her that her abuela always says: "Al borrego trasquilado, Diosito le mide el frío." (I can't easily find a quick translation, but basically God won't give you more than you can take. Literally to the sheared sheep, God takes considers the cold for him….He won't make it too cold for the sheared sheep. I'm sure there's some fascinating agricultural history behind it.) Irma asks about why Lola is there and when Lola explains about having to see someone, Irma convinces her to spill the beans. Irma seems shocked by the news Sim was actually Lola's mom.

Lo Imperdonable #3 Wed 5/20/15 “Chance Encounters and Fast Friendships Set the Wheels in Motion For the Start of Our Love/Hate Saga”
Once he gets Sanson to calm down, Martin turns and asks
Veronica if she is ok. Their eyes lock
and she smiles softly, barely giving him a glimpse of her dimples. After the requisite several seconds of
staring at each other, he takes Veronica’s hand and asks if it hurts. She says except for the rope burn on her
hand, she is fine. She smiles again,
thanks him and says he is “her hero”. He
continues staring at her. They talk
briefly about her over-confidence in handling Sanson. Vero’s friend Mariana runs up to ask if she
is ok. Martin turns and introduces
himself to her, but just as Mariana is about to tell him Vero’s name, the tour
guide rudely interrupts and asks if they can continue their tour, thus
depriving Martin of his first chance to find out Vero’s name.
Alfredo meets Martin at the club so he can sign some
important papers. He is glad to hear
that Martin wants to join the club and notes that going there and meeting new
people, like the girl with the dark hair he just saw him with, will help
distract him and raise his spirits.
Martin smiles and turns, wistfully glancing in the direction where Vero
headed off with Mariana, then saying to his friend: “Yes,
she is very beautiful. She made a big
impression on me…..But now I can only think about one woman, the one
responsible for my brother’s death.
That’s why I came to this club, to get close to the Prado Castelos….To
avenge my brother’s death.” (Despite
a lack of storm clouds, we hear another lightning strike. “El cirquero” Mejia strikes again!!!!)

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 85- The Life-counseling Club opens its door's - Highlights
Schoolwork has been a dime and it's getting late around here so i will put up the highlights :
- Diego has been injured badly as his wounds mark the name "Satan" all over the place ( I mean seriously the slash and brash scene was extremely violent, Faust just can't get the Karma of Dios any sooner). Fortunately the fast & furious Max & Abi arrive at the scene. Abi would like to report to the only god-forsaken authority available in town , Barragan but Diego refused. Max brought the soon - to- be - retired Mel ( But not before Mel thought Max came to him for Lucio's salvation) for help & Diego slips to Mel that the one who made holy turkeys out of him was none other than Faust. Diego promises that he shall become the jury- judge- executioner against the Feisty Reptile!
- Renata has just shared her life haunting experience with Helena& Simona shocked to all ears as Ren mutters at last " Abi's NOT my goddaughter, she's my daughter for Christ's sake! " Of course our two lovely women just about experienced the same things in their lives so they decide to focus on consoling Ren instead of raising barrels & flags, good friends i must say . Ren informs Ele & Sim that her dad was nothing but short of an ogre who has caused her daunting pain cause she profoundly loved a peon but the peon is now dead as bonkers ( I don't know why Ele & Sim are complaining , least they don't have to pay child support to anyone well atleast not yet. They are not in the same lucky category as Malaria who only lives to extort ) We also don't have shortage of mother of the year speeches in this episode in order to make Ren feel better ( I admit some speeches almost moved me to tears but no action is getting old fast and i truly hate the fact that Ren's still blind .) Also later on a bench in a church Ren counsels Ele to meet some love too , Barragan is the perfect candidate but Ele refuses because the calamity of their pasts would only serve to doom them. She also learns that Pab was Bar's son, responding with pity
- Pat went to look for Ren at the hacienda but Faust invited him to take a drink instead to have a little conversation. I don't remember correctly but i think Faust was quite gleeful at the thought of Pat boinking his wife ( This romance is tearing my mind , just give us a real love story already. It's like we have close to no happy couples in this novela cause endless depression , unrequited love , money- hoeing, lying & pretending must be the motto of life in this mugroso town seriously the most happy person in this novela is Meliton who is Pro Herbalife yet doesn't smoke weed) . FACT : This town lacks Jesus!

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo 66, 05-20-2015.
Recap courtesy of HellaShelle
Here’s a quick and dirty recap, so ppl can talk. I’ll try to submit a clean, more detailed one later.
A furious Candela tells Simoneta to have Sev call her when he gets back. Sim has the nerve to look confused when Cande hangs up on her, even though she pretty much just told the woman that she’s her husband’s mistress.
Renato wants Silvia to know that he wants her to be a partner in the business, not just an employee, but if their past will be a problem, she should say so now. She’s kind of doubtful about the whole plan. It sounds good, but unnecessarily complicated what with basing themselves in SL rather than DF just Because of Aldonza! She tells Renato he’s not in love, he’s obsessed. Renato says he’s holding on to his slim hope regardless and he doesn’t want to change.

Lo Imperdonable #2 Tue 5/19/15 “From Oaths of Vengeance to Love at First Sight: Martin’s Heart Prepares to Run the Gamut of Emotions”
We start where we left off – with Martin at his brother’s
graveside, in the pouring rain, his raw emotions a mix of profound grief and
even deeper rage, screaming, asking his brother to give him the name of the
woman who took his life, then swearing to him that he will discover the name of
that woman, that he will follow the trail of the Prado Castelos, and that once
he finds her….that woman will SUFFER.
(Cue another lightning strike and more ominous choir music.) Martin slumps onto his brother’s grave and
cries uncontrollably, while we see flashbacks of him proudly watching his younger
brother (the only family he had) graduating from college with honors.

Lo Imperdonable #1 Mon 5/18/15 The Heart of Darkness
Row!
The men steer the open boat down the river, cascades and lush green expanses all around them. The slender man, the only one not rowing and clearly an outsider, spots a gorgeous snake coiled around a tree on the shore. He takes a handwritten letter from his pocket and glances at it.
Ride!
A lovely, smiling girl – Verónica – rides an equally lovely (and probably smiling) white horse.
Make Whoopee!
Jorge and Salma snuggle in bed. If this were the sixties, they would be lighting cigarettes right now.
But on the River...
The sky turns gray and menacing, the water turbulent. Lightning flashes in the sky.

If you can't have them, frame them for murder! La Sombra Del Pasado #65 05/18/2015
This was a hard episode for me to sit through, I have a hard time watching tv/movies where someone dies and last night's episode just about did me in, below you'll find the recap but with less of the usual snark.
Aldonza gives Renato instructions to stop the investigation into who burned down her apartment, she does not want to cause more pain to the Lagos family. Renato agrees and later calls the detective working the case to tell him that they want the matter dropped. Renato will also be going back to umm is the town Santa Lucia? Gah, it's only Tuesday and my brain is fried!
Later in the episode the dream team (that's what I'm calling Pato, Silvia and Renato) lease the house where they will open up their office, they will also be living there, which is pretty cool because that house looks awesome.

Amores con trampa #36 and #37 5/18/15 and 5/19/15
It's another week with the Carmonas...and it's also finals week for me. I still have some exams to grade, so the recap will be short and sweet. I hope you all don't mind (and don't mind filling in where needed.)
I'm doing lots of scene combining tonight!
Isa threatens to turn Beto in for kidnapping. Facundo grabs her phone and tells Beto to scram! Facundo assures Isa that if Rocio is with Beto, she is well taken care of. Isa takes the opportunity to tell Fac that she loves him. She asks if he didn't feel anything when they kissed each other? He reminds her that SHE kissed HIM and no, he didn't feel anything. When he looks at her, he is afraid. She's a bruja(witch) and evil. She's worse than carne de puerco(pig meat)...and he apologizes to the animals for comparing her to them. After he leaves Isa snivels that she wants to change her cold and calculating heart and that Facundo is the only person that can help her do that.

- Chava is freaking out about finding Sophia. He is harassing poor Fuzzy Tavarez.
- Meanwhile, Armando is trying to convince Regina that Peralta is not the fine upstanding citizen that he portrays. Regina's getting a fine upstanding paycheck from him, so she's going to be a hard sell.
- Speaking of the devil, Peralta is out on his yaght enjoying libations with Mike Stone (the American, who speaks english with a thick Mexican accent)...OK who in the hell is Mike Stone? I don't remember him or wasn't paying attention. Anyways, Peralta and Ricardo...(who in the hell is Ricardo?) accuse Mike Stone of double crossing them about the buying product from other dealers. Mike throws in an English word every once in a while and swears that he did not double cross them. Anyways, Ricardo shoots Mike in the chest and he falls FACE DOWN into the middle of the ocean. Theoretically, one would believe that if the bullet wound doesn't kill him, he will drown. More about that later.

La Sombra del Pasado #64 Friday, 5-15-15
Good Evening, Peeps!
Well, I thought I’d lighten the mood a little bit here on the
patio with our beloved Casa de Caramelos, The Candy House! You’ll see why. Let’s get right to it! This was a rapid fire episode (no pun
intended) with lots of jumping around.
We have a brief rewind of the biddie and bile (Val) attack
in the plaza. Aldonza goes upside Vale’s
head – WHOP!! – and tells her she’d better back down before she gets smacked
down - again. Vale tries to play hurt
for the biddies.
Over at Las Animas Cande tells Sev he MUST come home! Their grown son needs his diaper changed and
she doesn’t want Aldonza doing it! Hell
no, there’s lots of moola in play with
his horsey deal. He hangs up on her. Simonetta/Viviana (S/V) is with him, he
scoffs that she wouldn’t understand these situations with kids, not having
any. S/V tells Sev she DOES have a child
and he doesn’t care about her life. He
tells her to shut it and don’t start with her drama!

Amores con Trampa #35 Facundo tries and keeps on trying to avoid trouble but he seems to be a magnet for it
Out of control, Santee fires Esteban in his house
in front of Isabel
Outside Gallo, Gusana and Jacinto see Esteban get
in his car… he looks down/upset.
Santee and Isabel in their bedroom, he is still
outraged that Isa did not tell him Esteban was interested in her… She claims
she would never pay attention to Esteban. She tries to walk away while he is
still outraged, he won’t let her. But
she is not willing to tell him her secret… (she thinks noone will know..)
Fac, Gusana and Jacinto approach Esteban at his
car window, Esteban tells them Santee fired him. Gallo says maybe its better
for anyone to stay away from ‘those’.
(Jacinto, Gallo and Gusana keep whispering in each other’s ear and it
sounds like it is birds chirping loudly)
Beto and Rocio are talking outside at Tia Clarita’s
house. Rocio is asking him for explanations about the appearance and attitude
of his ‘ex’ ‘Meche’. (Tia Clarita is
arguing with her pig, who is also named Clarita). Poor Beto, now Tia Clarita
also wants explanations… Seems ‘Meche’
has such a reputation of revolting/tough character.
Gallo and Esteban come back in the office… Gallo
has a new bug to place in Santee’s hair… he has just named Esteban his personal
lawyer… Gallo wants to twist the knife ‘how does that feel?’ Santee starts yelling “GET OUT!!!” but noone
moves…
Back at the Carmona house, the grandma and
grandpa are arguing, as always. Gallo
arrives home. HE is happy (still
enjoying the blow he served Santee). He
has good news for Maria. She wants to
know if its Beto coming back. Not quite.
HE just hired Esteban to work for him at the office. Grandpa celebrates
loudly, then asks ‘what was the good news?’ LOL!! Maria and Grandma don’t quite
see the ‘good’ in the news. Gallo explains that the ‘good’ was the look in
Santee’s face… he turned red as a lobster!
At school, Diego catches up with Carmen. She is having mixed feelings about the photo
shoot session.
Francis comes and confronts Carmen… now that Feli
and I will have a baby, you better butt out. Then Francis keeps the offenses
telling that a cavegirl that smells like pigs would take Feli from her. Of
course this was enough for Carmen to lose her cool so she slaps Francis right
as Feli is arriving, so he questions what Carmen did (slap Francis) since
Carmen knows that Francis is pregnant.

Que Te Perdone Dios #83 – Abi Still Wants to Marry Her Uncle, Renata Wants to Give Him Half of the Inheritance, and Fausto Wants to Kill Him. And He and Benito Get Fired.
At the funeral home, Amanda explains to Diego that nobody
told him the truth because it wasn’t their secret to tell, it was Vicenta’s.
And Vicenta didn’t tell because she didn’t want Diego to think his mom was a ho
with the patrón, and to stain Diego’s memory of her. Having everybody believe
that Diego was entering into an incestuous marriage with Abigail was Vicenta’s
way of “honoring” her daughter’s memory, I suppose.
New: Vicenta is put into the ground with strange African drums
and wails as background music. The music was intense, but out of place in
little Real de San Andrés. I have no idea why, in this class- conscious nook of
the world, members of ‘high’ society have turned out for the funeral of this
servant. Even Eduviges, who has been so cruel to Motor, is there to pay her respects
to the Hacienda’s chief vegetable peeler. Everyone attending the hija de la
criada’s wedding was a stretch (because the groom was a dyed in the wool peon),
but at least there was the Renata connection. Not so here. Anyway, Max steps up
to Diego for some recognition for having saved his life, and gets a nod. Pan
over the black-clad crowd to Abi. If the ceremony had been carried out, would
she and Diego still have celebrated their wedding night what with Vicenta being
assassinated and all?

5/14 #190 Hasta el Fin del Mundo - Lucas gets a new luke, whatever
This is my last recap
for this TN. It’s been a hoot! I’ve actually enjoyed this one. Even though the storylines often didn’t make
sense, it sure gave us a lot to talk about.
Depa de Isadora
Gerry has delivered the Injection of Doom. He and Aldo.2 leave Isadora out cold on the
floor. Oliver arrives, suitcases and
all. He finds his mother dead to the
world. He receives a call from Daddy
Dearest and cries as he tells him he’s afraid mums is dead! Gerry tells him to remain calm and he’ll be
right over.
Later, Gerry has arrived with the good Doctor Santivañes. Oliver is frantic and doesn’t understand why
Morgana wasn’t there but Gerry explains it was her day off. Doctor reports Isadora is dead from a heart
attack. Oliver can’t understand. She’d never complained of a heart
problem. Doc explains this happens
suddenly sometimes, with no warning.
Gerry thanks the doc, asking him to complete his duties and Gerry will
take care of the rest. Ollie weeps over his
mother.
Depa de Irais
Matias cooks for his chocolatito bonbón. They make plans for
a family with children and dogs…..zzzzz

There's really only gonna by a short version. Honestly, I'm thinking a long version will not be forthcoming. I'm tired. My students are tired. I'm trying to pack up my room and there's dust and bug carcasses are everywhere and I'm pissy and I don't have a Val or a Cris to slap around. I want an inflatable Val doll that you slap and it pops back up for more slapping.

5/13 #189 Hasta el Fin del Mundo - two days to go and we have new characters! A half-clad native and a half-mad felon.
Patricio, Alone with
his thoughts
“That old ‘Zorro’ did
all this on purpose to bury me, and I fell in his trap like an imbecile. And now I’m gonna have to pay for his
crimes. ¡Maldita sea!”
Casa de Armando
Nandito prays while we hear “Ave Maria” in the background as
Armando looks on. Oh brother.
Penthouse del Perdición
– Dulliver grows a pair
Geronimo wonders when Oliver left the office. Oliver explains he went to see Dani and then
stopped by to see his mother. He’s happy
to say she’s no longer drinking and is in a support group. Geronimo immediately pounces – She’s not to
be trusted. Isadora’s will power is very
weak. Well, Oliver has a lot of
confidence in her. He sensed a great
determination on her part never to drink again.
Geronimo scoffs and admires his optimisim. But this is not Isa’s first attempt at
sobriety. She’ll soon break her resolve
and return to drinking with more gusto!
Oliver finally stands up to his dad, “From this point on, when you speak
of my mother, you do it in a more respectful tone. Even though you are separated, I hoped we
could be a family. Nothing would make me
happier than to see my parents live in harmony.” But Dad thinks that’s impossible. He’ll always see Isadora as a sick person, a
parasite who lives only on what he gives her.
She doesn’t inspire any respect in him.

La Sombra del Pasado #62 - Wed 5/13 - Longest bus ride ever
Lola runs into Emmanuel after his confrontation with the doc. He tells her he's not Humberto's son, but he did learn something important…there is something turbio (shady) going on as concerns his parents. *cough*thisonegotallthesmarts*cough* Lola recommends a manita de puerco (twisting his arm) and offers to help, but if Doc was going to give up the goods, he would have done it already. Em is going to start investigating, but he's got bigger fish to fry at the moment…Solitario is being sold off and he's determined to buy him! Mari's going to get her daddy to give him a loan or something. Lola doesn't buy that--nor I! Em tilts Lola's face to look in her eyes and asks if she's jealous. Lola denies it, huffily and walks away, also huffily.
Uriel gave Irma a pill and some tea and she's finally resting. He asks Mari how she's doing with Emmanuel. She brings up the "favor" of a loan for…well, it's complicated…there's a horse. Uriel says Emmanuel would need collateral, and no, they won't accept the horse as a guaranty. Uriel knows what "Don" Sev's horses tend to go for and he thinks Emmanuel needs to start with an economy horse rather than a luxury model. Since batting her eyelashes has been unsuccessful at getting Uriel to change his mind, Mari is outta there with a swish of her ponytail.

Recap courtesy of HellaShelle
The Short: Pru tells E that Hum’s his dad. Hum clears that up, but refuses to tell E who his parents really are. E is furious. Lardo hits Val up for money; she refuses. Lardo wants to go after Pru for money, but Tomás threatens to kick him out if he does, so he backs down. Tomás wants Pru back. Adelina tells PJ she loved Ray. Sev forces himself on Sim! After some soul searching, Aldonza tells Cris she was raped…but not who did it. She worries how this will affect their future, but he’s in it to the end.
The Long:Emanuel asks Mari for help convincing her dad to help him buy Solitario. She eventually agrees. Simoneta tells Sev that he acts more like a jealous guy than a worried father, and reminds him that Cris is much younger and whole of body.

Que te Perdone Dios Capitulo 81 - The Devil You Know
Hello, sorry for the delay but im putting this page up for discussion, I am still working of the recap.
Refritos: Ren is mumbling that today is the day their baby marries for love while Vic is wising her pride in Diego since he will be the best man on Planet Earth from this day on , experiencing Abi's happiness to the fullest till the throats go sour like Yellowstone ! Aww i just wish they would marry soon since Mat is slowly grinding my nerves no wonder Connie went crazy, she predicted the future! Anyway Diego, Vic and Dom share a triple hug like no others ( Hopefully it's not their last share of happiness before the Devil knocks on their doorstep soon enough.) . Speaking of Mat, Ab's just tossed bitter feet unto him cause there can be no more between them and Mat feels squashed ( But Jesus Christ, Ab's so pretty in her dress while Mat should go hide in Antarctica)

5/12 #188 Tue Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Alexa’s plane has vanished! ¡Que te lo digo yo!
Lucas thanks everyone for his success -- mom, Abue, and Dani – yay. Lucas is taking everyone out to dinner to
celebrate. Lucas dreams of everything
he’ll buy when he’s successful, a house for mom and abue and a recording studio
for Dani. She tells him she wants
nothing but to be with him. How do you say Pre-Nup in Spanish?
Casa de Chava
Armando and Nandito are visiting with Marisol. Armando tells her about his plans to go to
French Guiana in search of Alexa along with Paco and Greta. Marisol offers to babysit while he’s
gone. Just then, a news bulletin on the tele announces the jet carrying Alexa Ripoll has been reported missing and has
presumably fallen into the sea. They’re all in shock and Armando assures Nandito
Alexa has to be ok.
Armando gets on the phone to the airport as Sofia and Chava
walk in. Nandito is crying and breaks
the news to them. Sofia doesn’t want to
believe it and breaks down.
Peralta the Conductor
Peralta air conducts Wagner and we can assume he’s
celebrating Alexa’s demise. Dulliver
walks in with a sad sack look on his face and tells dad he wishes he could be
as optimistic as dear old dad. Geronimo
insists Ollie has lots to be optimistic about – he’s a champ! Not to mention the heir! Ollie tells him money doesn’t buy everything
in life. He assures dad he’s very
grateful for the opportunity he’s been given and is working hard to make him
proud. However, he just can’t get over
Dani. He can’t stop thinking of her and
wanting her in his arms again. He
doesn’t know what to do or how to control his feelings. Well, this is his lucky day. Gerry says the time has come to recover
Dani! huh? Geronimo explains he’s heard via his personal
pilot that Alexa’s jet has vanished, and you know what happens when a jet
disappears over water……uh, you get wet?
Ollie wants to rush off to see Dani but Gerry tells him to
hold off until Dani finds out through the news.
She may not have heard yet, but when she does Oliver can console her and
stay by her side. Oliver worries this
news will destroy both Dani and Sofia.
Gerry says, “It’s terrible that so much tragedy has hit the Ripoll
home. Hopefully this will be the end of
their bad luck.” He has to turn away
from Olliver to hide his smirk. bwa-ha-ha

Everyone's a whore, but not Aldonza La Sombra Del Pasado#60 Monday May 5th 2015
For today's re-cap I'm going to go character by character and explain what happened with them in last night's episode, it's gonna be quick and dirty and we will be missing the last ten minutes because my DVR cut off :/
Severiano and Renato
Sev thinks he can get whatever he wants and demands that Renato tell him where Cristobal is. Renato is all like "I'm not telling and you can't make me"- Sev threatens him but our attorney tells him to shove it, threatening someone can come back and bite you because it's not legal, he reminds Sev that he has a lot of crimes to pay for and Sev for his part seems to think that justice will never reach him. Die you evil roach. Just die.
Renato later talks to Silvia and tells her that Cris and Aldi have gotten married, she's surprised to hear the news. Renato wonders out-loud how Cris got his address and he asks Silvia if she had anything to do with it, Silvia denies being the one who gave Cristobal his info.
Sidenote:What does Renato drive? It looks like a Dodge Challenger to me, but someone else said it was a Mustang? I don't care, I want that car, with Renato sitting next to me, cause he's pretty!

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #187 5/11/15 Pato's Gotta Pay!
This is my last recap because we're in the final week! I hope that I have given you more fun and entertainment than this telenovela has. These last few weeks I've wondered just how much better this show would have been if Pedro Fernandez had stayed on. The writing may not have been better, but Chava's "acting" certainly would have been. I want to thank all the commenters who have stayed with us for the entire run. Your loyalty meant so much to me and to the other recappers as well. To everybody who "lurks", I encourage you to join in and have a say. Recappers need to know you're out there. We love hearing your voices!
On to the recap!
From Friday:
Chava looks at Lupe's picture. He thanks her and prays for her to help Marisol. He gets a call from Sofia who tells him that Alexa took off with that Rat Bastard Alan.
At the hospital, Pato yells at Silvana and threatens to kill her for ruining his pretty face.
Armie and Chava discuss Alexa's disappearance. Armie thinks she dumped him, but Chava tells him that Alan probably coerced Alexa into leaving with him.

Amores con trampa #31 and #32 5/11/15 and 5/12/15
Tonight was another great episode, though much of it wasn't what I would consider deeply important to the overall plot. I will be glossing over quite bit to focus on the more important things. Please feel free to add your 2 pesos to the conversation. Just because I didn't find it important doesn't mean it isn't and I welcome all the help I can get. This is a group effort.
Right to the new….
Santiago (Santi) and Esteban head for the upstairs office while Estefany(Estefy) makes her way to Facundo's office. Fac needs to be reminded how they met, but he finally remembers...she was there when he gave Santi that moquete (punch in the nose.) She introduces herself again and this time tries to give him a friendly kiss. Fac barely avoids it saying he's there to serve her, but not that much right now since he's busy (it really came off better in Spanish.)
Esteban asks Santi if Fac slept with Isabel(Isa.) Santi thinks the only thing Esteban needs to concern himself with is that the Carmona's invested in the bankrupt business. He asks Esteban to leave. Santi has to prepare for a casting for his new publicity and marketing business.
Meanwile Fac is looking for hidden cameras in his office. Cameras got him into a lot of trouble once, but that is not going to happen again. Estefy turns on the charm. She tells Fac he's got a certain caveman like quality (rupestre...I went with that since I found it funnier) and is tender at the same time. He laughs that they say they use "ternura" when an animal is ready for eating. Oh she'll eat you up all right, Facundo. She invites him for coffee. Fac clearly hasn't learned a thing. Anyway. He tells her he's packing and getting ready to leave the city. Estefy plays him like a violin. She can't believe Fac would let Santi win so easily. She leaves and it looks like Fac is giving some thought to what she said.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #186 20150508 Five Things to NEVER Tell A Crazy B*tch!
Thank you Paquita and Jarifa for helpin' a sista' out on Thursday!
Silvanna spotted Patrick and Regina getting on the elevator and she ain't happy about what she saw because Patrick was getting pretty handsy with his co-worker. Anyways, when she comes home, she confronts him about it. Patrick has his back turned and she hasn't yet seen his face. He looks like Chava punched him in the face and then hit him with a brick a few times. Anyways, when she does see his face, she suggests that Regina's boyfriend may have put a whuppin' on him, but he tells her that Chava did it on account that Patrick boinked his virgin kid sister and knocked her up. Patrick thinks that the beat down he got was well worth it. Now Chava will have to look at Patrick's face on his niece/nephew everyday. Silvanna tells him that the Marisol got hit by a Mac Truck and the baby died. Patrick's bummed because he really wanted to irritate Chava for the rest of his life, but he's ok with the death of the baby. Patrick never wanted to be a daddy anyway. Silvanna is surprised to learn that Patrick never wanted to be a daddy, because he acted all thrilled knocking her up.

Que Te Perdone Dios #79: Oh, Brother!! Can’t We At Least All Pretend?
The Formal Engagement Announcement party between Diego and Abigail has just begun. Guests are enjoying their “tragos”—well, most are. Dr. Patricio Duarte is telling Mateo that he should at least pretend to be happy for Abi. Mat admits it’s unlikely since he’s dying of jealousy and can only think of the best opportunity to kidnap Abi and ride off into the sunset with her—if he only could. He hasn’t lost total track of his senses quite yet. Pats tells him to can the silly talk and he’ll get back to him later.
Pats and Fausto nod to each other and are going to head together to Ren’s table when Pats spies his ex sitting next to her. Fausto asks why he’s suddenly stopped walking. He sees a jackal sitting next to Ren. Who’s the beauty? Pats used to be married to her, he answers. Well, then introduce me to her, why don’t you? They head to the table and Pats looks like he’s just smelled a dead skunk—only this one’s very much alive and seated next to Ren. Fausto introduces himself and says he understands she and the good Doc used to be married to each other. “Now let me guess why you let a beauty like this get away. Hmmm….problems with sex?" Everyone at the table now smells skunk…this time it's the one standing on his hind legs snickering at his own joke.

La Sombra del Pasado #59 Friday, 5-8-15 Oh, Those Crazy Kids!
Let’s get right to it.
Aldonza can’t take Cris as Marlon Brando anymore and runs out to talk to
him but he has driven away! Cris is
pissed! She doesn’t want to see me? Okay, she’s not going to see me for the rest
of her life!
Cande is with Vale carrying on over whether Cris is with
that wench, Aldonza. Cande calls Sev to
see what he knows about Cristobal’s whereabouts. Sev is
with Sim and they have other priorities.
Sim tosses the phone away.
It's a pleasant evening in Santa Lucia. Eman sees Lola and Pato leaving a restaurant. It sounds like Pato wants to take a break
from their little relationship. Pato
doesn’t think it’s working but he’ll try. He has a request. Eman has taken a seat in the darkness
watching the two. Apparently he’s close
enough to hear Pato ask her to give him a kiss.
Eman watches Lola and Pato kiss and then leaves, hurt. What
Eman doesn’t see is Lola’s underwhelmed expression as the kiss ends. He doesn’t hear Lola tell him that he doesn’t
have a right and not to do it again. Pato
doesn’t know whether she liked it or not.
Then Pato says “Puedo recebir tu
òoscolo,” at which point Lola slaps him silly. Just at that moment Don Mele approaches
them. He’s got a new attitude so he
doesn’t comment on the wallop but greets Pato and engages in some word/accent
play which I don't get. Don Mele was
going to leave them to chat but Lola
decides to go with him leaving Pato to rub his throbbing jaw and wonder what
the heck just happened.

Amores con trampa #30, 8 May 2015... The Carmonas are moving back to the country... and that seems to be affecting the Velascos even more than the Carmonas
Edited to use Vivi's better translation 'back to the country' rather than the 'farm'.
Santee breaks it up between Rocio and Isa.
Gallo can't find peace, really taking it hard that its first night he is not sleeping with Maria. He needs a chance to fix what he broke or his heart will die of pain.
Maria in her room crying, looking at the photos. Beto comes by. But she is still very resentful of his keeping the truth from her. He claims he could not throw his dad under the bus. He did not want to hurt her or make her this sad. Maria claims she had the right to know. He agrees. but he could'nt . He asks what will happen now. She has no idea. He tries to sneak in some good word about Rocio but Maria won't have any. She yells she does not want him near Rocio.
Back to Gallo. Yoya finally arrives. He tells her they were all worried about her. SHe is also resentful of him for what 'he did to her mom'. He asks for a chance to talk. But she feels very dissappointed of him for betraying her mom. He claims it was a mistake, a trap... She yells that today should be her happiest day. The guy she likes told her he likes her but they will never be able to be together because of what happened between Gallo and that woman. Poor Gallo is worse than before.
At the Velascos, Rocio and Feli talk. He is playing video games. She notices he is not well. He tells her he told Carmen he likes her but she turned him down. Rocio says you have to keep trying. They are also trying to split me and Beto... Just don't tell my aunt that you like Carmen. They (aunt and uncle) are umbearable, they can't even stand each other. Rocio is headed with Isa to see a psychiatrist. But Rocio is not that hopefull they will be able to help them.
At Carmonas, Perpetua comes to check on Maria. She is still crying.
In living room, Gallo is sleeping in the couch, having nightmare that he is hearing Maria ask him to choose between Isa and her and he faints backwards. Suddenly the rooster yells and Gallo gets up all startled... but it is Maria coming, she wants to talk before everyone else wakes up. She knows they can't push Santee out of the company or give him the money back. But they can still put their own house for sale and return to the country. IF you don't do it, we are through.
At Velascos, the rooster yells again. Santee wakes up but Isa is still knocked out.
Back to Carmonas (this is making me dizzy all the switching across the yard) Beto is coming in the girls room, he wants to talk to Yoya, he tells her he wants to go back to school. Yoya says it is the only good news she has heard lately.

5/7 Thur Hasta el Fin del Mundo Kiss My Wife (Check), Grab My Wallet (Check), Give Patrick A Beatdown (Check)
Blackmail
Alexa tells Alan he’s crazy if he thinks she’d leave
everything she has to run off with him.
Alan can’t believe she’d prefer such a boring, married life instead of
an exciting and adventurous one at his side.
Alexa can’t believe his ego! She
insults him, calling him a dreadful (pésimo)
director and a patán (cad, uncouth). He tells her that if she were to see “Amores Estremos” (apparently the name of the
film) she’d feel differently. It’s
turned out so well, that it is now in the hands of an important director, Cesar
Baldomer. He’s a worldwide porn film
distributor. He shows her the film on
his iPad. She tries unsuccessfully to
grab the tablet. He insists it’s a work
of art. He’d love to the face of her bf and
her adorable son when they receive a copy of her pornographic film! She pleads with not to do this to her. He says she’d no longer be the fairytale
princess. Instead she’d be the fogosa (passionate) princess. He thinks her boyfriend would go ballistic if
he were to see this film.
Later, he shows her photos and tells her to rip them up if
she wants, he has thousands of copies waiting to be released. “After all the pain you’ve caused me,” cries
Alexa, “you still want to bother me. You
are a cancer in my life. It’s too bad
you didn’t die!” He sarcastically says
he loves her too, but even more after he’s seen how pretty she is in the
film. Alexa charges that the images on
the film are bogus. He must have hired
body doubles. She never appeared
nude! “Ah the magic of editing,” he glibly
replies. The girl he hired was identical
to Alexa. No one will doubt it is
Alexa. Not even her mother! She begs him to destroy the film. He’s sorry, but he can’t. He’s waited a long time for this moment. He heard about the important film she was
making. It’s fantastic she’s become so
famous and is featured in magazines. He’s
so happy for her, and himself. She begs
and begs that he not release that film.
Here comes the offer: No one will
see that film if she agrees to come with him and star in his next film. He’s got it all set up to shoot in French Guiana. She refuses to go with him anywhere. “Fine,” he says. “Just be warned I will release this film to
the media and make sure it’s spread throughout the Internet. Your promising career and your relationship
with your Yeti Mexicano will sink faster than El Titanic!”
Meanwhile, we see Nandito showing off a photo of Alexa in a
magazine to his schoochums.
Back at the restaurant, Alexa gives in. Alan has set up a press conference to announce
she’ll star in his next film in French Guiana.
He’ll also announce he is now her director and representative. He tells her to wear something despaparante (flashy?). He walks away as Alexa weeps.

Weekend Discussion: Do Humans Need Love?
Poets,
dramatists, composers, and artists have all made careers of
glorifying Love. We glue ourselves to our screens night after night
watching novela characters trying to make sense of this emotion that
other characters either know less about than they do or....
intentionally attempt to deceive them about. However while writers,
composers, singers, and actors do their best to promote Love – in
all its forms – as the grandest thing in life nobody ever
seriously addresses the big fundamental question: Do humans need
love to live and be happy?
Que Te Perdone Dios #78 – In Which Diego is Engaged to His Half Sister, Punched by His Brother-in-law and Disdained by His Brother or Nephew
Refried: Patricio avoids mentioning that he knows something
went on between Mat and Abi in Mexico, and Renata says how much she likes
Xi-ela (in Daniela configuration) and Pat rants against Xi-ela (in Ximena configuration).
Also, Mat and Diana discutir, he says don’t meter mi mamá, and she says mamá and
Padre Tomás are on her side. He’s the one who started this war.
New: All members of Xi-ela are in their apartment, and
Ximena complains that she gets bored on her week off from Porfirio. What, did she stop
going to spas and such? Is that really how she sees this unique opportunity, as
simply a week off from Porfis? Well, of all the places in the big, wide world
she could go, she wants to go to Real de San Andrés. She wants to check out
this place that Daniela likes, she’s interested in meeting Renata, and she
wants to “help” Dani with the Pat situation.

La Sombra del Pasado #58 5/7/15 Descent into Stupid
I hope I can be forgiven. I was already dozing off before the episode even started, so I'm just going to give you guys a quick, out-of-order rundown of the action and hit the sack. We can all fill in details in the comments. Honestly, I kind of wanted to RPC the whole damn thing.
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 #57 - Wed 5/6 - Nobody's sleeping tonight
As Sev begins to sneak out of his hiding place, gun at the ready, the unhelpful witness and the building super (one guesses) show up. They're helpfully talking loud enough to warn off whoever it is they think they heard up there, which makes the super's baseball bat all the more ridiculous. Sev slinks back under his rock as Aldonza, Renato, and the two new arrivals make their way out of the apartment.
Emmanuel, newly homeless, witnesses Pato and Lola dining al fresco on some yummy looking tlacoyos. Pato tells the following joke:

La Sombra del Pasado, 05-05-2015, Capítulo 56
Recap by HellaShelle!
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
Remember: this is a spoiler free zone.
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!
The next morning Candela is off to torment, visit Padre J and bumps into Cris on the way out, he tells her that Padre J will be going home so her trip will be wasted, then he tells her that he and Aldi don't believe she told him everything that there is to know about Sev/Rob affair, Candela says there's nothing more to the story and Cris reminds her that sometimes people keep secrets when it benefits them. Cande looks pissed.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #182 5/4/15 INFERNO
I had extremely bad TV reception Monday night. I couldn't get any more than a second or two of good reception and finally lost the signal altogether. I had to watch this on Hulu without English captions so I'm sure I missed some of the dialogue. Please fill in what I missed in the comments.
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?

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #181 20150501 Lupe Ain't Cold in Her Grave, Chava's Hitched and Paco is Now a Big Stud!
- 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
After complaints that some of our plot summaries were full of spoilers, here is a brief one for the upcoming Lo imperdonable. If you want to recap, write me at caray@mappamundi.com - blog mom.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….

Them’s fightin’ words of course and Feisty warns Di not to get in his way. Anybody who does gets trampled on. Best for her to take her man and skedaddle on out of that hacienda pronto! (What needs to skedaddle is that exaggerated A/M love-theme extreme!)

Lo Imperdonable-Index
Friday, May 01, 2015
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.

La Sombra del Pasado #54 5-1-15 MAY DAY! MAY DAY! THE TRUTH IS OUT!! (or part of it!)
Good evening, Sombra Patio Peeps! Let’s stop in and see what the fine denizens
of Santa Lucia are up to this evening, shall we? We have a little overlap of Aldonza letting
slip that something’s rotten, er burned, in the D.F. Roberta’s apartment was destroyed by fire!
We interrupt this family discussion to join Cande’s screech
fest with Cris, already in progress. Please see Diva’s wonderful description from
yesterday, #53. Cande stomps out of Cris’s
room. Has anyone else noticed how dark
Cris’s room is? I don’t think it’s just
the dark wood and deep blue paint job.
Candela is constantly darkening that poor boy’s door and this is not the
last time she’s going to do it today, as we shall see!
It is a bright and lovely morning! Pru has invited Mari for sundaes, ice coffee
or such. Pru is worried about Vale: she’s been so emotional since the breakup
with Cris. Mari tries to plead ignorance but finally
confesses that Vale came to her house nearly hysterical and looking for
Lardo. Mari tells Pru that Vale and
Lardo are “half way” going together and Vale was upset because Aldonza saw her
and Lardo kissing and Vale’s afraid Aldonza will tell Cristobal! Pru is impactada!

Que Te Perdone Dios #73 - The Phantom of the Opera is Here, Inside My Mind
Refrito: Ren and Pat are seated at the blind restaurant. Max calls the Hacienda and Diana tells him where to find Abi.
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.

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
RECAP BY HELLASHELLE
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.

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.

Que te Perdone Dios Capitulo 71 - 50 Shades of Dumbo (Discussion& Recap)
Sit tight as I work on the recap! I have really accustomed to the opening to be honest but i would have still preferred this song : . What's your opinion?
Present: Mat who always has a never ceasing head of imaginations & blunders furiously reclaims Ab's in her face that he now hates her despite having loved her once. Ab's as much we are is pithed as hell cause Mat claims she betrayed Ren's trust and because Mat is so ingenious with his imaginations he could build a Fausto out of Lego's but it would still inevitably transform into Satan ( Imagine no more Fausto's , one age full of darts wohohoo!) . Abi exclaims that she has not betrayed Ren's trust. Mat claims her intimate life is no concern for him but he still hates Ab's for being so cruel and serene with him but especially cause he will never be hers. Abi says to the thick-head she unfortunately has no heart to hate , she only feels love. Mat calls her a liar and Ab's after he having left squeals in frustration. Ab's 5 , Mat 0.

On to the recap:
Refritos: It's a repeat of the scene between Max and Dan. She after Max has mocked her supposed loss ( Just let it live by said Max) proceeds to inform Max that the reason they travel without a Heli is cause his parents went to the otro mundo! Max is in denial of course.
Present: Mat who always has a never ceasing head of imaginations & blunders furiously reclaims Ab's in her face that he now hates her despite having loved her once. Ab's as much we are is pithed as hell cause Mat claims she betrayed Ren's trust and because Mat is so ingenious with his imaginations he could build a Fausto out of Lego's but it would still inevitably transform into Satan ( Imagine no more Fausto's , one age full of darts wohohoo!) .

Que Te Perdone Dios #70 on Monday, April 27th, 2015. (Julion and Tono do take after each other alright!)
Mateo (Drippin' Wet) and Fausto
Mateo (unfortunately in board shorts and not a banana hammock like Jorge Aravena has done before) has hopped out of the pool and talks with Fausto. He thought Fausto had gone out with Abigail and he did' into the city. Mat is amazed and Fausto cuts what could be the beginning of an argument off. That was futile because Mat doesn't believe this sudden closeness with Abi.

4/28 #179 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Beware the wrath of Geronimo
Casa de Chava
Chava finds Aracely
knitting away and confronts her, “I want the truth! Who’s the daddy? Me or Pedro?”
Aracely doesn’t know what Pedro may have told him but she assures Chava
that he’s the baby-daddy! She would
never lie when it comes to “their” child!
She admits she took advantage that
night, but this baby she’s carrying is the result of that marvelous night
they had together. Chava knows she was
with Pedro shortly before that night. Aracely can’t even look him in the eye when
she admits sleeping with Pedro, “It was
a big mistake on my part since I knew it’s you who I truly love. I know my cycle and know when I
conceived. I have no doubt you’re the
father of this baby.” Chava apologizes
for being such a cad but this does involve knowing whether or not that child is
his or someone else’s! He can’t trust
her assumption the baby is his. He insists on a doctor’s opinion. Aracely brings on the waterworks, “Please
believe me, this is your child!” waaaaaah.
Chava insists, “For the good of everyone involved, we have to be sure
about the baby-daddy! I can’t see myself
living a lie my entire life that will eventually eat away (carcomer) at my soul!”
