Lo Imperdonable #13 Wed 6/3/15“Martin Continues With His Willful Blindness About Veronica, or as they say in Mexico, No Hay Peor Ciego Que El Que No Quiere Ver”
(I’m skipping all repeated scenes; also, some scenes are
combined)
Martin’s Mexico City office. I’ll start with a question – who spreads
photos of his brother everywhere in the office?
I guess Dimmy was more a son than a brother to Martin. Anywho, within seconds of Claudia dropping a
photo and V-Snake picking it up, Claudia is already spilling the beans about
the Dimmy-Martin connection and Dimmy’s recent death. V-Snake seems genuinely shocked to learn that
Dimmy is dead. Claudia realizes her
indiscretion and begs V-Snake not to say anything about it to Martin. No worries, says V-Snake, but I want to ask
you a favor in return.
Mina Escondida. NanC has set up a little shrine for her
dearly departed Dimmy, complete with burning incense. She remembers Dimmy telling her that his brother
will surely “love” her (“querer”) as much as he loves her. (Looks like NanC may have confused the
meaning of “querer” – to love – with the meaning of “amar” – “to be in love
with”.) Perhaps she burned peyote
instead of incense, because now NanC is hallucinating – she sees Dimmy’s bloody
face through a window, causing her to mouth something unintelligible about a
“mala mujer”.
Vero’s Office. Emi visits Vero in her office and is all
business with her, coldly telling her he needs a budget from her. He starts walking off, then turns and congratulates
her on her engagement. She thanks him
but tells him his attitude is putting a damper on her happiness. He rudely says that her affection for him
must not be all that much, because it’s not going to stop her from going
through with her plans to marry Martin.

La Sombra del Pasado #77 6/3/15
I'm subbing for Kat tonight. I don't know whether to tell her she owes me big time (because there were some things that really upset me or squicked me out) or thank her profusely for needing the sub (because there was some great stuff.)
I really feel like there are two writing teams. One is an expert team that's great at character development, creating tension and storytelling. The other team is a bunch of high-school sophomores cutting and pasting from the internet.
And they've inexplicably given the cut and paste team the main storyline.
I've organized this by writing team and then by events. Things may be a little out of order and highly condensed.
The Cut and Paste Sophomores
After overhearing Cris's call to the lab, Cande realizes they can't let him leave the house. She tells Sev as much. They can't let Cris send off the samples.
Cris is getting Aldonza's sample ready. He hears Cande screaming for help. He puts the envelope under some gimcrack on the mantel and goes to investigate.
Sev fakes some kind of attack. While Cris is helping Sev, Cande goes to snoop in Cris's room. See? I told you. Sophomores. Needles to say, she finds the envelope. She tells Cris to tell Mel to get the car ready. She tells Dom to go with him. Once alone Sev tells Cande they can't get rid of the sample or Cris will know. Cande has another idea. We aren't exactly sure what because the next we see of the envelope, Cande it returning it to the mantel. By the time Cris gets back to his father's bedroom, Cande is back in place. It's like the end of an Agatha Christie movie. Both Sev and Cande inform Cris that they won't need the car. Hum told them that Sev just needs to rest.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 95 " Let's just sleep together with nothing going on"
Recap (In no particular order):
- In his goody goody mood, Faust drops the balls to Ren that he is the Padre Of all the Dumbs that are sacred ( They're still innocent fragile human beings, they just lack a brain) , Mateo. Ren tells that she already knew because Helena told her. Faust is obviously molested with Hell trading secrets like cooking recipes. He pretends that he compares himself with Ren because they both have a special someone and a deadly truth to accompany their sad life stories . Ren also gets served his weak side of fake penance. He also assures that his stuff with Diana ended when he discovered that he was not the only one driving Di mad ( Oops i meant the word Mattttt) .Ren sucks it all in like a fifth grade risotto. Those are Sev's Heavens indeed. Candy atleast knows her rotten plate, but Ren keeps acting like Virgin Mary . Oblivio is Einstein compared to Ren.
- Diego encounters Lucio in his house holding Domingo by his mouth. Diego of course snarls at Luc as the authorities arrive with him demanding Barragan but of course these bimbos are Fed's wises Lucio so he's getting nailed for a long long time. Luc is disgusted by Diego as he demands for the Fed's to take him away as Dom also gets taken away by force. Luc later gives some Fed a stash of money for playing his part in the deadly game as an useful idiot.

Lo Imperdonable #12 Tue 6/2/15 Dump the chump and the rest of your family
Oh this novela might drive me crazy, last night made me want to stab someone and we are only 12 episodes in, will this recapper survive?
Let's get to it, it will be a little bit short but only because I have work that I need to get to. Here we go:
Martin meets with Jorge to discuss becoming his gold vendor, he will also take the opportunity formally ask Jorge for Veronica's hand in marriage. The two men meet, as far as the business deal goes Jorge accepts Martin as his gold provider but he will only agree to a one time deal, if things work out he will offer Martin a long term arrangement. Then they start to discuss Veronica and my blood starts to boil, if the rest of my recap sounds grouchy it's because I was grouchy watching this mess.

La Sombra del Pasado #76 6/2/15 Close Your Damn Doors!
RECAP BY HELLASHELLE
Short: Sev tells PJ about the night Ray died, but not about the rape; PJ struggles hard to deal with his newfound hatred. With Eman’s help, Cris sneaks into Aldie’s room and cuts a lock of her hair. There’s no water at Las Animas or El Santuario. Cris asks Ren to delay the divorce; Ren refuses. Cris tells Cande the divorce will take 3 months. Cande overhears Cris asking a DNA clinic if the test can be done without the dad.
Long:Severiano continues to torment PJ. He fills in the details of Raymundo’s death: that Ray caught Sev and Rob together and attacked him with a machete, leading to Sev’s losing his arm. When PJ asks why Sev’s telling him this after all these years, Sev says that he wants to make PJ an accomplice to his sins. He adds that he wants PJ to know why he’s always hated the Alcocers: Because their family got the lands the Mendoza’s once owned, because Raymundo made him an invalid, and because Roberta made him lose his family. He says PJ can’t do anything to him now, just like he couldn’t do anything when Aldonza needed him most. He doesn’t elaborate on this and PJ assumes he’s talking about the war between he and Aldonza. PJ tells Sev that his own actions brought all of this on, he can’t blame others. Sev says even if that’s true, he doesn’t care: Aldonza will still pay. PJ takes this as a confession that Aldonza’s not his daughter, but Sev says he never said that and PJ will never be able to prove it. Once Sev crosses himself and starts to leave, PJ grabs him and it about to give him the beating of his life when he looks up and sees a Virgin Mary statue. Sev laughs evilly in the background as PJ helplessly lets him go, hands tied by the rules of his faith. As PJ cries, staring at the statue, Sev creeps up behing him and says he hopes PJ can sleep soundly now.

Truth bombs, truth bombs everywhere! La Sombra Del Pasado#75 06/01/2015
Hi Patio peeps! I've been missing in action due to work commitments but here I am with your Monday recap, I'm going to cover the small things that happened in the episode first and then we will move on to the real action, you might want to have some wine/tequila by your side, you'll need it! Oh, also events are totally out of order but it makes my job faster and easier!
Renato, Cris and the Aldi drama
Renato serves Cris with the divorce petition, Sev and Cande both have smug looks on their faces, I wish I could slap them. Later, Renato informs Aldonza that he has delivered the paper work to Cris and suggests that things could move along faster if she told the court that she and Cris are brother and sister, she refuses and says that that subject will never be spoken about.
Cris goes to see Aldi and says that he will not divorce her, he begs for her to take the DNA test, but again, she refuses, well, he puts his foot down and says he will not agree to a divorce unless she takes the test, and then they argue about Valeria (yawn). I like Cris, I like Aldi, I do not think they should be together. I also should add, that I feel really badly for Cris who always sounds like he's on the verge of tears.
Two witches go shopping:
Val and Pru are on their trip in Huston, while there Candela calls Vale to tell her she's needed in Santa Lucia, Cristobal needs someone to comfort him and Aldonza is no longer a threat, Val looks like Christmas came early, she asks what's going on, she wants details but Candela refuses to tell her anything over the phone. Once the call ends Val tells her mom something important just went down, both of these wenches seem to believe that Cris will end up getting married toHoney Boo BooValeria, and they make plans to go look at wedding gowns. *Ahem* when a guy dumps you for a girl he barely spent three days with don't you think you should just give it up? Can we get her a copy of "He's just not that into you?".

I looked forward to watching this all day and I was not disappointed.
HilMare is a delightful troublemaking addition to the story. I can't wait for Rocio so slap the Beto, Betito, Betote right out of her!
Francis and her minions of evil accost Carmen and Hilda Mecha (HilMare ™Marta.) Francis makes snide comments about their fashion sense and HilMare is all "come at me bro." (I highly recommend you do a google image search of that phrase. There are some hilarious picutres.) Francis backs up. hahaha! Her minions look a little happy to see someone stand up to her. Carmen and HilMare get in the RancheritaMobile and leave. Francis starts screaming about the plague infesting the university.
Facundo came home to look for some papers. Maria catches him and tries to convince him to stay and eat some pork dish with verdolagas. He turns down her invitation, but she still wants to talk to him. She asks if he knows why Santi fired Esteban. When Fac says he doesn't, she tells him it had to do with Isa. She explains that she just saw Esteban giving Isa a huge kiss and that Isa slapped him.

Parte 1~~
Finally,
Macaria has managed to get one (well, actually at least four) over on Fausto with
all her anonymous notes floating around town, and Viewerville shares a communal
sigh of relief. Mateo reads her
anonymous note stating that the baker in Diana’s double your fun bun factory
was really Fausto. Mat races out the
door in a mad dash as Mac snickers at the fireworks she’s set in motion.
Meanwhile,
at Pablo’s grave site, Abigail clarifies to Renata that she believes Renata
would never have left her side nor allowed Macaria or anyone else to treat her so
roughly while she was growing up if she’d truly been Renata and Pablo’s
daughter.

Lo Imperdonable #10 Fri 5/29/15 In Which Venom Is Spewed And Veronica and Magdalena Are Codemned
CASA PRADO CASTELO
Outside
Veronica wraps her arms around Martin's arm and tells her future husband that she has no doubt now that she's in love with him. Martin sees this as a red flag and release his arm from her grasp and gives her this "if looks could kill" face behind her back. He tells her that he doesn't get her - just yesterday she was telling him she needed time and now she tells him she's sooo in love with him and wants to get married. Does she really want it? he asks her. Of course she'd get married to him and if it were up to her it would be right then and there. She realizes that he's become serious and asks him why he has gotten so serious. Is he sure that what she told him about her parents doesn't bother him? Of course he's not bothered by it. She wants him to be honest - if he's not sure about marrying her then she wants him to tell her. She tells him that she'd understand. He tells her that of course he wants to marry her - now more than ever and as soon as possible.
Study
Emi wants Jorge to tell him what he talked about with Martin. He lets Jorge know that he told Veronica that he wanted nothing to do with her. Jorge thinks Emi is going to the extremes because Veronica rejected him once. "In business like in life you have to have patience" Jorge tells Emi. Jorge lets Emi know he didn't accept Martin's offer because it would mean the family would have a commitment with him and it would things for Emi with Veronica. Emi serves himself a drink and tells Jorge he should accept Martin's offer - at least it would save the company from a crisis. Emi tells Jorge he's no longer interested in Veronica because she's a fake and liar. Jorge snatches the drink from Emi's hand and tells him that he won't allow him to speak like that about Veronica. Emi tells Jorge that now he knows that Veronica and Demetrio slept together at Casa Prado Castelo. Jorge is aghast and can't believe this. Emi tells Jorge that Virginia herself saw Veronica with Demetrio on various occasions. Jorge can't believe this about Veronica who has always respected their home. Jorge is determined to go and speak with Virginia despite Emi telling him its not necessary and that Virginia isn't feeling well. Just then the door opens and Virginia walks into the room. Jorge wants Virginia to tell him all about Demetrio.

Weekend Discussion: Have the Writers Declared a Competition on Perversity?
I had to post this right after this
evening's episode of La Sombra del Pasado because I was
ready to explode at Severiano slobbering all over Aldonza. I was
actually screaming at the screen and I never do that. I've seen a
lot of nasty horror movies and was beginning to become immune to some
of the evil and gore in them. However, rape trauma is still
something that makes my blood boil.

La Sombra del Pasado #74 5-29-15 In Which we are made to feel Dirty or Satan Slimes Again
Let’s jump right in.
Adelina attempts to counsel Aldonza that she should forgive Cris as Vale
means nothing to him. Aldonza thinks
Adelina doesn’t understand anything about the situation and refuses to talk
about it. Adelina presses on, asking
when Aldonza is going to take the DNA test.
NUNCA and it’s best she drop that subject too. Adelina brings up Aldonza’s failed pitch to
Hum to let her buy El Santuario and all its environs. Adelina thinks it was dumb. Aldonza doesn’t understand why Hum wouldn’t
sell it when ES means nothing to him and she doesn’t understand either why her
mother would sell it to Hum knowing that he and Sev were thick as thieves. Adelina reminds her of the dire financial
straits that forced that decision.
Aldonza thinks Roberta would turn over in her grave if she knew all the
things that had happened on their beloved land.
Adelina adds that HER FATHER would too!
Aldonza does not react to this but lights up with the thought that she’s
going to turn everything around and make the huerto productive again! Golly Gee, just wait and see, Tia! Tia thinks she’s naïve, Aldonza thinks in
time she will convince Hum to sell. Tia
leaves and Aldonza basks in a self-satisfied smile.
Satan and his Slut argue about Cris’s demand that, as his
daughter, Aldonza be given ES. Cande
thinks Sev should’ve lied and made Cris think he was going to give it to
her. After a year passed they could
always think of another lie to cover his failure to cede her the property. Sev blows up:
he’s tired of her stupid ideas and he’s done caving in. He’s not giving up anything to that stupid
Aldonza or that “quack” cousin of hers!

amores con trampa #45 Facundo puts his foot down... and brings back to the board a player that could end up being a nightmare to more than just Beto and Rocio
First of all, thank you Jarifa for such great detailed
recaps! I confess I have not commented but I have watched pretty much all of it
and I agree with all of you… what in the world is Facundo doing acting like
that to Maria and being the hypocrite with Isa… but then someone must have
found a magic herb because there are a lot of hypocrites in that neighborhood,
aren’t there?
Ok, back to the story.
Refritos:
Isa with Frederick… talking about his significant other…
which he knew over the internet (danger, will Robinson!!) He says you are no one to talk… you are
playing around with Facundo… let me know when you figure out how you are going
to untangle that mess…
Perpetua calls Facundo at the office, and he walks out to
get tangled in the reception area with Estefany.
Maria and the kids are getting into the taxi. Isa is amazed that Maria is indeed leaving
with the kids. Perpetua gets in the passenger seat of the taxi.
Here comes Facundo in his big black truck to stop the taxi
and block its way. Maria yells at the taxi driver not to stop but to no avail.
Facundo jumps on the taxi hood and windshield and starts yelling at Maria
asking where she is taking MY kids!!
Francis and her sidekick shadow girls meet at school. Seems
the shadowgirls suggest to Francis to enter the ‘queen of the university’
contest. Francis at first thinks it is too far below her to compete in that.
But the girls convince her ‘just think when they crown you in front of
everyone!’.
Facundo keeps yelling at Maria asking why she is taking the
kids… Isa keeps telling herself ‘how can’t Facundo realize how much I love him
and how much I need him !!!’
The taxi driver starts to pray out loud. Facundo yells at
him to go pray somewhere else.
Maria says she was heading back to the country. She does not want the kids to stay here. Beto asks what about Yoya and me?? Maria confesses she doesn’t know what to do
anymore. Facundo acts offended that she
was about to leave with the younger kids without even letting him know. Maria whines that lately he treats her so
bad, doesn’t even look at her… Facundo suggests they go inside to talk… there
are too many gossipy birds around…
At university, Francis finds Yoya registering for the queen
of the uni contest… Yoya asks Francis what SHE is doing there… is it perhaps
she also plans to compete for the queen of the uni title??
Back in the Carmona house… Facundo asks Maria a favor… a
tiny bitty favor… never again try to take my kids away… She asks the same of
him. They are whispering, something that
Santee and Isa never do. Maria says
that she never thought Facundo would inspire fear in her… never. He leaves quietly.

Lo Imperdonable #9 Thu 5/28/15 Crazy kids, already talking about marriage and they didn't even have "breakfast" together, yet
Filling in for Gloria today, I hope the recap makes sense, I did it on the run.
In
Mina Escondida
Mariana
and Pablo arrive in the village on a boat. They didn’t top by the hotel,
because Pablo wanted to know the surroundings as soon as possible. Mariana
thought that it would be a good idea, but now she hates the mosquitoes and the
unsteady boat. She wants to get back to the fancy French hotel ASAP – Pablo can
explore on his own.
He
asks her to stay with him, but she won’t hear of it.
This
is Mariana’s first mistake, because who does Pablo run into in the village? Ana
Perla, of course! She’s with some kids in front of the church, after Sunday
School (or something). The Abuelo didn’t even want to allow her to do that,
worried that some of the boys in the class would be old enough to seduce her.(Oh please!)
Anyway,
Pablo sees Ana Perla, Ana Perla sees Pablo and it’s love at first sight, slow
motion breezy atmosphere included. She covers her head with her shawl, looking
like a Virgin Mary, I presume, all innocence and candor. He’s so taken, he
wants to go talk to her, but Abuelo and Manuel show up, see what is going on
and interfere. Abuelo drags Ana Perla home and Manuel goes after the stranger,
to warn him that he needs to leave the village immediately, because he’s not
welcomed.
He’s
clearly looking for a fight, but Pablo is not impressed. He explains that he is
a painter, who only came to find inspiration for his work and Manuel’s threats
don’t scare him one bit. Manuel loses this round, but this is only the
beginning for these two.
Later,
while drawing, Pablo remembers Ana Perla and her perfect name (that he
overheard). In the meantime Abuelo warns Ana Perla to stay away from the new
guy, because he can only mean trouble. She already looks half in love, so let’s
see how that works out.
Manuel
ambushes Magdalena on the street to let her know that, while drunk, Botel told
him that she’s married and she abandoned her daughter and husband to be with
him. So if she ever gets herself involved in his affairs again, he will tell
the whole village the type of bad seed that she is.
In
Mexico
First comes love, then comes instant marriage?
Veronica
and Martin are at the restaurant, kissing for the first time. He asks her if
she’s capable of love, because many women just pretend. Well, Vero would never
do that, and he shouldn’t suppose that ALL women are the same, just because he
met some bad ones. After all, some men are shameless, too, that doesn’t mean
that she won’t trust him. So, how about they carry on with what they’re doing
and let time decide for them?

Que Te Perdone Dios #92 – The Postman Always Sends “Anónimos” Twice, That Is, If Macaria Had to Eat the First One
Refry: Diana can breathe again, after Fausto’s attempt on
her life in the hospital room. Fausto is all smiles at the foot of her bed.
Dr. Pat is sporting a nice shiner, and doesn’t want to talk
to Fausto, who wants to proclaim his innocence. It doesn’t matter anyway,
because no amount of beatings will keep Pat and Ren apart, they love each
other.
New: Barragan is questioning Lucio in his office, making
very, very sure about the date of Pablo’s death, without telling Lucio that
therefore the killer could not possibly be Don Bruno. Lucio insists, even
invokes his scar, and signs his declaration. Just when he thinks the coast is
clear, Barragan produces one of the ubiquitous “anónimos,” the anonymous, hand-crafted
letter by painstaking letter, documents that Mac has been making. This is the
one about Padre Francisco, and Barragan points out that Lucio was the last one
to see him alive. Lucio begins to squirm, and has the gall to ask, “Who would
want to hurt him?” Barragan gets all Perry Mason, strolling away and then
whirling around with ANOTHER anónimo, about Freddy! Lucio does not burst into
flames as he denies any and all knowledge or involvement in any of the crimes.
Simona is visiting Ela, of Xi-ela, suffering about the
Freddy letter. Ela comforts her, saying it most likely is a lie. But if it is
true, says, Simona, she just wants that desgraciado in front of her to let him
know how much pain he caused. Just as I’m thinking “cue Lucio,” there’s a knock
at the door. But it’s Don Fausto! He is the intellectual author, after all, so
I stand corrected. He walks in to the sound of panting sheep dog background
music.

La Sombra del Pasado #73 5/28/15 I am weary. Let me rest.
I'm out of recapper juice, this show is killing me and I'm ready to cross that river. Hence the title...inspired by this bluegrass tune.
It's gonna be crap y'all. All over the place, condensed all to hell and missing large chunks of action and the drama. I didn't take notes and I only half watched it again for recapping purposes. It really wasn't that bad. Maybe it was just me. Just seemed dull.
I've arranged it by plot thread. Sort of.
The DNA plot Thread
Padre J demands that Sev submit to DNA testing against Cris, Aldonza AND Emanuel. Padre explains to Cande that he has a suspicion that Emanuel is the child of Roberta and Sev. Sev absolutely refuses to submit a sample. Padre is surprised. He would think Sev would want to clear things up. Sev continues his protest. Emanuel is not his son. He told Padre that that child was a still born girl. The two get into one holy (or unholy) shouting match, which brings Cris down the stairs to investigate. He's all for a test. Sev finally succeeds in getting the Padre to leave. More and more Cris is convinced his parents made up the whole sibling thing. Sev tells him to go ahead and marry Aldonza then. Cris realizes his mother never intended to help him. Cris asks Hum about how to do a DNA test. Hum takes offense. He's not going to help Cris with this. Val's happiness is at stake. (Hey, Hum...happiness is a choice.)

Que Te Perdone Dios 91: Highlights
by Anonymous Anon207 and Aunty Ann
Connie told Renata that if she & Fausto adopt Abi, Fausto could take control of the ranches through Abi (I think). She also told Renata she wishes she could see so she could see what a terrible person Fausto is.
Simona showed Barragan the poison pen letter she got about Fredy's death.
Fausto told Julio he wanted 50% of his profits or else.
Diana told Fausto she knew all about Mateo being his son and Fausto locked the door and tried to kill Diana until the nurse showed up.
Julio visited Diana and asked Diana if she had any tea to blackmail Fausto with and she said no, and that he needs to be careful since he's on the run from the law.
Abi lines, Mateo lines
Lucio told Max to shut his pie hole or he could catch a bullet too (I think)
Padre Tomas was feeling like a fool for believing Fausto & Lucio
Renata asked Patricio to operate on her again. Twin showed up (I think Angel Wings) and Renata found out about Patricio getting a beat down. He told her Fausto ordered the men to beat him up.
Ren asked Pat to operate on her, but to keep it a secret. Not even Mateo will know. Pat used the excuse that he wants to study Ren's case to get his hands on her records, and Mateo agreed, but asked Pat to help convince his aunt to have another operation. Of course Mateo has no idea that she has already asked Pat to perform the operation.
Renata told Abi about the Patricio beat down and blasted Fausto for it.
Fausto went to Lucio and asked him to investigate who beat up Patricio & blamed Fausto for it.
Also, Barragan interrogated Lucio and then showed him another poison pen letter (which I don't think was the same as Simona's letter).
Barragan and Padre Tomas were talking about the poison pens letters floating around town and Tomas was upset the letter writer just didn't come forth and denounce the criminals in person and I want to say Barragan wanted Tomas to come forth with what he knew but Tomas couldn't because it was under confessional rules.

Lo Imperdonable #8 Wed 5/27/15 “Hearts Run the Gamut Once Again – from Aggressive Dueling to First Tender Kiss”
(Some scenes are combined)
Back to Martin and Vero engaged in a fencing duel with real
swords and no faceguards. He promptly overpowers
her, knocks the sword out of her hand, and holds the tip of his own sword to
her neck, thinking to himself he could just end her life right there and then. As Vero stumbles and falls, he moves closer, with
the tip of his sword still hovering over her neck. Any normal person would see the insane look
in his eyes and get the hell away from him…forever. But not Vero, that’s not her style. If anything, her love for him just grew
ten-fold, because he didn’t pull any punches and “opened her eyes” about the
limits of her strength, unlike the rest of her male fencing opponents.
Magdalena, alone with her
memories, mumbles to her lost daughter that she will never forgive herself for
abandoning her. NanC arrives to deliver
some fruits. Magdalena
wishes she could cure her aching soul with NanC’s herbs, but knows they only cure
physical maladies and that her pain will only be cured when she finds her
daughter. She wishes NanC could foresee
her future, but all NanC can see is more tears in her life.
As an apology for his crazy behavior, Martin invites all the
gang out for drinks that evening. Vero
readily accepts, but only if it’s to toast his victory. Cunning Virginia plays matchmaker and tells Martin he
only has to apologize to Vero, so he should just take Vero out. Meanwhile, Emi is still fuming about Martin’s
ungentlemanly behavior, so Vero tells him to just calm down and get over
it. (Translation - she is a grown woman
and doesn’t need Emi-niño watching her back.)….Later, Emi gets a chance to confront
Martin and warns Martin he will have to answer to him if he ever dares to hurt
Vero….Martin thinks some women pretend to be weaker than they really are. Emi has no doubt that Vero is strong, and
with a firm character, but a woman nonetheless.
Martin acknowledges he got carried away but does not want to ruin his
friendship with Emi. Emi makes it clear
that Martin ruined it when he came between him and Vero, the woman he loves. Now Emi doubts they can ever be friends
again, but Martin convinces him they should just follow the rules, like in
fencing, and may the best man win with Vero.
(Emi, dude, don’t even waste your time.
You already lost the battle and the war.)

La Sombra del Pasado #72 Oh Sweet Baby Chihuahuas The Dumbassery Just Keeps Coming!
As always, I start with the new and do some combining and condensing.
Lo Nuevo
Emanuel goes to El Santuario to see Aldonza. Lola is there. Cue the theme music. You can tell the spark is still there even if the two of them have their heads too far up their ass to see it and quit playing mind games (thanks for the new toy, hellashelle!) Eman explains that he found out about the break up from Cris. Cris is not doing well. He went and got drunk. Lola tells Eman that Aldonza is asleep and it's probably not a good idea for Eman to see her right now. Adelina comes in with Joaquin as Eman gets ready to leave. Eman and Joaquin decide to ride home together. Joaquin and Adelina say goodbye. Sparks fly between Adelina and Joaquin as well. After Lola explains Eman was there to see Aldonza, Adelina remarks that she's sure that half the town knows the news by now. Lola is worried that Valeria is GOING to take advantage. Little does she know that the advantage has already been took.

Amores con trampa #43 and #44 5/27/15 and 5/28/15
It's time for another evening with the Carmonas. There's been trouble in paradise lately and most of us on the patio are more than a little peeved with Facundo. Jarifa will fill us in on tonight's tomfoolery. Look for her recap in the comments.
Labels: Trampa
Lo Imperdonable #7 Tue 5/26/15 She should of let him go off the cliff
Hello my patio peeps! This is my first recap for this show, it will be quick and dirty but I think I will be able to cover the most important parts, my DVR was a little bit wonky last night so I know I lost maybe 5-10 minutes of action, feel free to add to my recap in the comments section.
Also, before I continue, I am going to ask people to remember that this is a spoiler free zone. I saw the version of this with Kate Del Castillo, if this sticks closely to that version I know how things will turn out, if I saw LA Mentira, I'm sure others have as well, please do not ruin it for others by posting spoilers and do not discuss the previous version as it could give away key plot points, if anyone does and I see it I will delete the comment(s), please don't put any recapper in that position. And now your recap:
If she does not dig me she must be a ho:
At least Emiliano seems to think this is the case with Veronica. She is very clear with him, she has no romantic feelings towards him and she has started to feel something for Martin (who she just met! Seriously!), Emiliano makes the mistake of saying that it's true, she does go from man to man, and that earns him a slap, a wimpy slap by novela standards but still. Veronica is angry and wants to know why he would say such a thing to her.
Oh if only she knew that Virginia has been working over time to throw dirt all over her good name.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 90- Charlie Charlie Who's the Fox?
Previously:
- Fausto & Elena attack eachother with threats but don't realize that the truth about Mat reached Di's ears. Later Faust warns Ele that if the truth came out, Mat would hate her too but Ele would gladly tell it cause he would be aware of the scum that is his "Uncle" MaD Hatter cause Ele knows that Ger bit the dust from his own brother . Faust cynically lies that this is not the truth so her threats don't mean nothing to him . If she does, Mat will suffer the consequences!
- Max & Teodora went to buy stuff for their fancy picnic. While Max is out, Luc comes to bugger poor Teo but to our luck Max's had the punch repellent ready while threatening Luc to never bugger our beloved ever again. Luc's fornicated mouth responds with nothing but a spit on the floor and everyone seems to be watching, +10 for Public Manners! ( This reminds me of my high school classmates sometimes, least the cleaner's got something exciting to do with his life)

La Sombra del Pasado, Capítulo 71, Almost Everyone’s Got Their Head Up Their Ass
This recap courtesy of HellaShelle
The short summary is under
the long one this time. No snark; too much ass-hattery for snark.
The Long of
It: Cristobal keeps breaking our collective hearts with his tears.
How is he supposed to just stop feeling what he feels for Aldonza? How’s he
going to get past this? Emmanuel doesn’t know what to tell him, but he’ll stay
with him while he gets drunk off his ass (supposedly so he can fit his head
inside it tomorrow…)
Mari, dressed and ready for
dinner, paces in the square before finally calling Eman. He tries to explain
that Cris is in BAD shape and really can’t be alone, but Mari’s couldn’t give a
flying fig; he’s always throwing her over for his friends! She hangs up. Because
the TN gods want me to suffer, Pato just happens to be strolling by and sees
Mari in tears. He stops to comfort her.

Que Te Perdone Dios #89
First, I realize I've been MIA lately. It's been due to school, familial affairs and allergies. I apologize.
Second, let's cut to the chase; Diana woke up and is apparently going to hold a certain thing she heard at the right moment over Fausto's head. That's quite the plot device and way to get the ball rolling faster.
Third, there's a nueva etapa. I wonder what's in store for us.
Lastly, this is for fun but is anyone going to watch La Vecina online?

Lo Imperdonable #6 Mon 5/25/15 I'd like to buy a vowel – Is there an e? Okay, I'd like solve the puzzle...
The Party Continues
What we saw on Friday
• Virginia smirks to Mariana that she would toy with Martín only to make Emiliano jealous and to thumb her nose at Verónica.
• Martín and Verónica discover another thing in common: wounded palms. Martín thinks it is destiny that has brought them together.
And tonight, under a full Televisa moon
In the Night Kitchen
Salma is cross at finding Matilde, rather than Verónica, in the kitchen seeing after dinner. But when Virginia joins her, she turns on the smiles. Two men, Emiliano and Martín, have shown an interest in Virginia! Virginia, of course, only has eyes for Emiliano. Even so, Vero, Jezebel that she is, swooped down on Martín as soon as she saw he was interested in Virginia.

La Sombra del Pasado #70 The Puppetmistress Strikes Again!
Greetings, Sombra Peeps!
First of all, a big Thank You to Eli for swapping days with me and
giving us the exciting details of Friday’s exciting episode!
Next, a lame, but true, disclaimer: My DVR farted out on me and there were several scenes I was going to clarify. So, here's what I remember and put together from my notes. Feel free to correct and expand in comments!
Let’s jump right in where we left off with
Cande deploying her latest separate Cris and Aldonza weapon: the sibling bomb! Cris thinks it’s the most absurd thing he
ever heard and doesn’t believe a word of it.
Cande tells of Roberta’s affair with Severiano who recovers enough from
his initial shock to reluctantly agree.
Aldonza looks as if she is going to hurl and tearfully protests Cande’s “revelation.” Aldonza says she doesn’t believe it but she
leaves in disgust and hurt, Cris runs after her. He begs her not to believe this idiocy! The seeds of doubt have been planted and
Aldonza cries that Cande could be right and if she is, what do they do? Aldonza says her mother is the only one who
knew for sure and they can’t ask her!
Cris says a DNA test will settle the issue immediately! Not one to be bothered with thinking things
through when a dramatic display of emotion and fleeing are an option, Aldonza
chooses the latter: she wants to be
alone!
Once home she talks to Adelina and tells her of the latest
salvo from Cande. Adelina tries to tell
her it’s absolutely not true; her father is Raimundo! Aldonza wants to know if she can prove Raimundo
is her father; Adelina says there’s nothing to prove!
Aldonza asks if it’s true that Roberta and Sev had an affair. Adelina answers sadly, yes. Aldonza wants to know when it started. Adelina is not sure but she IS sure that Aldonza
and Cris are NOT siblings! Aldonza’s
mind has already gone to the horrible thought that Sev could be her father and
that her own father raped her! Adelina
tries to calm Aldonza and also suggests the DNA test but Aldonza laments that she
knows he will never take it.

Amores con trampa #41 and #42 5/25/15 and 5/26/15
Y'all.
I didn't think this show could make me happier, but tonight it did!!! There's a talking donkey.
You heard me. A talking donkey.
I think my life is complete.
I will be combining and possibly condensing scenes tonight. I'm doing 4 recaps this week. Gotta pace myself ;-)
And ¡Ay ay ay! Facundo was talking a mile minute tonight!
Perpetua catches Maria talking to Santiago and demands to know what she's doing with this caballero (which would mean gentleman….is it wasn't dripping with sarcasm). She calls her daughter "María de mis pecados" which cracks me up for some reason. Perpetua tries to drag Maria out, telling her daughter that she shouldn't have anything to do with Santi (ese gavilán...hawk.) Santi tries to explain that he and Maria are just trying to fix things. Perpetua doesn't have a thing to say to him. She dumps a flower vase on him. Santi's all wet.
Felipe is an even bigger nitwit in this episode. He's annoyingly attentive to Francis. It annoys me, no her. Francis is loving every minute of it. She's finally happy. She's got Feli and that rancherita can to hang out in her mud-puddle or whatever. Her two idiot minions with no self respect notice that Carmen just came into the cafe. Carmen has a surprise for Panchota….excuse me….Francisca. It's the surveillance tape from the parking lot. It proves that Francis threw herself in front of Carmen's car. Francis thinks Carmen is just trying to steal Feli again. Carmen tells her she's happy with Diego now, besides...Feli is whipped (mandilón.) She also tells Francis she didn't have to fake a pregnancy to keep her man. Carmen leaves the CD with Francis. When Carmen leaves Feli asks about the CD. Francis claims it's a video of when she had dark hair.

Freedom, and lies! La Sombra Del Pasado #69 05/22/15
It's a long weekend, let's all get some drinks and chill! (Some scenes have been combined, or moved out of order so I can get this recap up faster)
We start off the action where we left off last night, Satan has pulled a gun on my favorite boy in all of Sanata Lucia, Renato keeps his wits about him and tells Sev that he {Sev} will make a mistake and when he does Renato will pounce. Renato leaves and Sev is left only in the company of his lawyer (Nava?) who has a look on his face that says "they don't pay me enough for this crap"-seriously, go watch the actors facial expressions, you won't regret it!

Lo Imperdonable #5 Fri 5/22/15 We All Love Our Freedom; We All Choose Our Destiny; And We Need To Watch Out For Strangers
Let’s skip the scenes from yesterday and get right to the new stuff….
Jardin De Prado Castelo
Virginia tells Emi that Vero has done “terrible things” and Emi wants to know what the heck she’s talking about and he wants to know NOW.
Pueblo Nuevo
Pierre walks around town and looks back every once in a while to make sure he won’t be seen by anyone. He stops in front of a window.
Jardin De Cresencio
Ana Perla sits on her bed in her room and is reading a book which she quickly hides when Abuelo Cresencio comes into her room and gets on her case for being lazy and not doing anything productive. Ana Perla explains that she can’t do much being locked her room. Abuelo hands Ana Perla her embroidery and suggests she embroider. Ana Perla will do as Abuelo says.
Jardin De Prado Castelo
Emi has Virignia by the arm and Virginia in tears [crocodile tears, perhaps?] tells him to let her go. She tells him there’s no point in talking about Veronica if he’s going to act like such a nutcase [oh you haven’t seen anything yet, Virginia. Viewerville know just how crazy Sergio Sendel can be]. Emi knows that what Virginia has to say is to make Vero look bad in his eyes. He tells her that if she has something serious to say then to tell him NOW. Virginia cries and asks him how he could treat her this way during a party. He apologizes and tells her that he makes her mad when she acts this way. Virginia tells him that she doesn’t understand why she tells him things about Veronica if when she does they end up arguing. Emi wants her to promise him that she’ll try to get along with Veronica. Virginia reluctantly promises that she will. She tells him that what she wants the least is to argue with him. She tells him that they’ll enjoy the party and be okay. She goes off to greet Mariana who has arrived.
Mariana and Pablo have arrived to the party holding hands and Virginia greets them. Meanwhile, Martin stares and looks attentively at Virginia. Jorge shows up and tells Martin that he can see that Martin is impressed with his niece Virginia. Martin tells Jorge that he has two beautiful nieces. Jorge tells Martin that he loves his nieces and takes care of them. He’s like a father to them and he keeps an eye on who they mingle with. Martin understands and tells Jorge that he’ll get to know him. Jorge is glad Martin says that because he doesn’t usually let people he doesn’t know well into his home. Martin tells Jorge he’s like him and also likes to know who comes into his home and his construction company. Martin tells Jorge that his construction company isn’t a big one but it’s been successful because they offer ecological solutions now that they are needed more. Jorge is left interested and wants to know more about Martin’s construction company.

Que Te Perdone Dios #88: Dedications and Resuscitations
Constanza is thanking her lucky stars—well, actually her defunct hubby for his having had that little affair with Diego’s mama way back when cuz now she and the rest of the gals in the family are no longer alone when Diego knocks on her door. Diego is now there as a male voice to protect them from that vicious wolf in sheep’s clothing that finagled his way in twenty some odd years ago: namely, Fausto. He has a quick chat with her and tells Crazy Connie that altho’ he’s guilty of a mortal sin in loving Abi, he’ll take the hit in Heaven and keep his mouth shut about it here on earth now that he’s living at the hacienda.
On the other hand, Mateo is admitting to Padre Tomas that he’s literally losing it because he senses now that his uncle is lusting after innocent and unsuspecting Abigail whose life is in danger. Unfortunately, Padre Tom having been badly hoodwinked by the fiendish Fausto lo these many years believes that it’s Mat who’s totally obsessing over Abi and letting it cloud his judgment regarding the man Mat used to revere as his substitute pappy. Padre Tom psshaws and prattles on that he’s smarter than all that (apparently not by much)! But Mat, still hopeful, asks the padre to have a bit of faith in him, and not to forsake him and Abi in their time of need. (Good luck with that.)
Back at the hacienda a bit later, Diego walks outside to the garden to find Abi sitting near the fountain. He hopes she isn’t bitter about what happened at the church. Naw, she can understand learning what he did had to scotch the marriage thing. Too bad for her that he was supposed to be the guy who could make her forget about Mateo. It’s just life crapping on her again is all. Yup, he says. They hug--sibling style--as Feisty surreptitiously glares down at them.
The next morning Renata stops in to see Tomas and takes the opportunity to discuss Mat’s suspicions regarding Fausto and Abi. They agree that Mat’s probably so jealous that he’s misinterpreting things. He suggests the best thing to allay his suspicions is to tell Mat the truth about Abi being her daughter. Ren refuses. Mat loves Abi so much that he wouldn’t be able to keep the truth from her. Tomas thinks she’s got to try to make Mat understand somehow and stop thinking crazy things about the man who raised him. Ren seems to think that now that Abi’s no longer opposed to their adopting her, Mat will eventually realize once that’s been done that Fausto was only trying to help Ren smooth the way for Abi to get comfortable with the idea.
As for Fausto, he’s spending his morning warning Abi away from Diego, trying again to convince her that Diego simply has designs on her and Ren’s money and lands. Abi disagrees and says she’s known him for forever and that he’s too decent to ever do anything like that.
Upstairs, Diana is having a bad day and is staying in bed. The others head into town for the inauguration of the new Braille foundation Ren and Ximena have funded. The ceremony takes place and Ximena is bummed to finally find out then that Tomas is actually the town’s priest. Viewerville snoozes through this crappy sleep-fest until FINALLY Comandante Barragan ends the show when he reads the honorary plaque which dedicates the place after “Abigail’s father” –none other than Pablo Ramos. Abi’s glance in Fausto’s direction during this announcement of Pablo Ramos as her papi seems like she thinks of it as just another one of the many lies she knows she’s been told. (OMG, does she still think Feisty’s her papi?)
In the D.F., meanwhile, Daniela and Porfirio are enjoying each other’s company. He decides to give Ximela all of the jewelry that used to belong to Max’s mother. Porfi says Max lost any claim to them when he abandoned the Zarazua’s. Ximela accepts but mum’s the word after today.
During the ceremony, Teodora and Max spend time at the lake. He’s wasted so much of life and his has changed from one day to the next without warning. No, he’s no longer interested in Abi. She was a challenge he’d imposed on himself, he admits to Teo, when he still thought he owned the world and was king of the cock walk. He declares his interest in her and she tells him that she was raped. He guesses it was his daddy what done the deed. She doesn’t disabuse him of the idea, but she doesn’t confirm his suspicion either. No matter. He knows it was even if she doesn’t want to say. They hug.
At the hacienda, Macaria puts the anonymous note declaring Dee Dee’s twins as really Fausto’s into an envelope and places it in Mat’s (?) bedroom on the night table.
At the reception, Ren makes the announcement that Diego is actually her brother and is now being brought into the fold formally. Feisty has no choice in saving face but to formally hug Diego as his new BIL. They embrace and Fausto threatens to get rid of him first chance he has; Diego says not if he gets rid of Fausto first! The Cougar Sisters chuckle at the news. Simona and Helena discuss their admiration for Ren. Marcelino’s wife, Veioleta, gives him grief for being an unsupportive husband. Fausto rubs Patricio’s nose in it over Ren still staying married to him.
Back at the rancho, Mac notes that Dee Dee is feverish and cannot be woken for her daily meds. So, she decides to get Princess Di even sicker by turning a fan on her for hours on end. (Ya got to love it when one catty bitch turns the tables on another catty bitch! Meeeowwww!!)
Fausto isn’t happy at all with the humiliation of the Pablo Ramos dedication trick Renata pulled on him, let alone telling the whole town about Diego’s being her illegitimate half-brother that she’s decided to bring into the fold. He gives Ren grief over that. He’s kept his part of the bargain in trying to preserve their marriage, he gripes to her, but after what she pulled today and the fact that they’re still not essentially “together” she’s “not doing her part.” “Everything has its limits.” Ren agrees (whatever that means). He asks if Abi’s ready to be adopted yet. Nope, but hopefully soon, Ren believes. By the way, Ren says, have you seen the deed to La Enramada? No. Didn’t Ren have those in her room? (How come not in a frikkin’ safe or something????) Abi had asked her specifically to keep them for her, didn’t she? Yep.
At the same time, in town, we learn that Vee is weakening. She misses her brute of a hubby. Simona tells her she’d better get hold of herself. A moment later, Julianlio knocks on the door and wants to give Sim back her bratty son. He’s tired of playing papa.
Dee Dee is up and interrupts Mat just before he has a chance to open the envelope with the anonymous note in it. She begins chatting and then faints dead away. Mat goes berserk and he and Feisty lay her onto his bed. While Mat is gone getting his medical bag, Dee Dee murmurs she doesn’t want to lose Feisty’s twins and passes out. He mumbles something to her like, “—You owe me a favor.” Feisty notices the envelope, quickly reads and pockets it. Mat fumbles with his stethoscope and anxiously awaits the ambulance.
Back in town, Simona gives Juli grief for coming to her after destroying her and her son’s lives the way he did. Well, the kid’s a pain in the ass for him too so if she doesn’t want him, then he’ll send the kid away and she’ll never have to see him around there again. She doesn’t think he’d ever come back to her. He hates her now. Well, replies Juli, willingly or not, the kid’s coming back to you. That’s that and he leaves.
Across town at the hospital, Dr. Pats takes over Dee Dee’s case and refuses to let Mat assist in taking care of her. “Save my children!! Save them!!” Don’t forget what happened to me, Mat! You’re in no condition to assist! Mat agrees to wait and begins pacing.
Thanks and have a happy holiday weekend! --ed.

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.

Aldonza finally gets escorted out of Cris' cell.
Per Mel: since Sev is out of town, Soletario hasn't been sold yet. Emmanuel is prepared to go to Severiano as soon as he's back in town to make him an offer he can't refuse. Melesio advises him not to do it RIGHT when Sev gets back into town or it might end up backfiring. Yeah, what with all the other stuff he'll have to deal with.

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!
