Lo Imperdonable #69 (Mex #70) Fri 8/21/15 Ana Perla Tries To Pull A Demetrio
The Old:
A fight ensues between Pablo and Julio. The two tussle and roll around on the ground. Julio threatens Pablo with a "Don't get near AP ever again or else."
The New:
Pablo tries to explain to AP that he broke up with Mariana. But AP doesn't want to listen to his explanations. Instead she slaps him hard right across the face. Poor Pablo.
Cancun, Mexico
On the yacht, Emi comments on how beautiful the scenery is. It reminds him of all the things he loves. **He daydreams of a seductive Vero inside the water at the beach**. Back in reality, Virginia tells him that she'll never forget this moment -- it's the happiest moment of her life. Emi asks Virginia to teach him to love her. Wait a minute ... now that's not something you want to hear from your future husband .. oh Emi... Anyway, Virginia tells Emi that she will teach him and she'll always love him because he needs to be with someone who loves him and not be out begging love from someone who doesn't love him. The two kiss .. and the kiss then turns passionate as they lay down on the yacht ... and well I think we all know what happens next ... but thankfully neither Uni nor the Mexican broadcast shows it ...

Amores con Trampa #104 of misbehaved kids... of a couple trying to revive the fire... of two grown men going on a scavenger hunt ... and a copter gadget on the loose
Refritos: The carmonas are enjoying themselves at the carnival,
including bumper cars and the giant water bubbles in the pool.
Lo Nuevo:
Perpetua and Porfirio are playing arcade games, shooting games. Actually, the whole family is there. Seems
Abuela Perpetua is very comfortable shooting that gun… she and Porfirio keep
teasing each other. The game is over.
Seems Susana won. She beat Facu, Beto,
Porfirio, Perp, Carmen and Jacinto.
Now they are in the roller coaster… Facu and Carmen at the
front seat. Facu is the one that looks
the most out of place or ‘not quite in his trade’. Jacinto looks scared or sick. Porfirio
comments later that he did not enjoy it that much either. He jokes that she
does not feel anything because she’s already dead (Yikes, Porfirio! That was
not nice!)
Later on at office, Rocio comes to see Beto. Beto is a bit cutting with her about the
party at her house that she did not invite him to. She tries to explain. He says he got it that her family does not like
him. He tells her with tears that the
worst thing that happened to him since arriving at the city was to meet
her. She painfully agrees… and apologizes. Hilda comes in. RoCio asks him if he and
Hilda are back together and he dryly says ‘none of your bidnez’. Rocio leaves hurt. Hilda tries to cheer Beto up.. but he says he
feels ‘de la trompada’ (real bad).
Back at Carm house, Porfirio is at dinner table with family
again arguing with Conchita and Perpetua about the boiled eggs. Carmen runs in. She is trying to fake like her punishment was
lifted already… PSYCH!!! Maria and Facu tell her the trip to the carnival was
an exception but she can’t even use her car.They demand her keys back.
Back to the office.
Beto agrees with Hilda to go out to dinner together. He leaves. Felipe comes back. He again is a
bit sarcastic with he ‘support’ of Beto.
Felipe says its no secret to anyone that they have a history. Hilda says
its no secret either that she is falling for another guy (Felipe can’t help but
smile about that).

La Sombra del Pasado #133 (Mex #136 Pt. 1) 8-21-15 In the Valley of The Shadow of HELL!
Greetings, my friends of the Sombra Patio! Or, shall I call it the Somber Patio? No! I
am not going out like that! I’m going
out with gratitude for all of you allowing me to guide you through the crazy
lives of the residents of Santa Lucia these past many Fridays. I am grateful as well for the company of so
many witty, brilliant, funny, passionate, observant and eloquent people
gathering here around this digital campfire.
I am grateful for my teammates, Eli, Hellashelle, Sara and our Captain,
La Diva del Desierto, 5ft. Latina! Thank
you for letting me retell this story to you all in this, my first full
time, from the beginning recap gig! I
got nothin’ but LOVE for alla y’all! Let’s
do this!
Read more »
I’m going to tell things a little out of order and not go
into my usual depth of detail and you will see why and I hope it’s ok. We repeat a bit of that sweet scene when
Valeria finds out that Hum changed his will before he died and El Santuario
belongs to Eman and Aldonza. She drops
heavily to the concrete bench while Pru babbles about the impossibility of this
turn of events. Val speaks aloud as Pru
tries to comfort her, “I always treated him so badly. . .I killed him and I
will have to live with that until my dying day!”
Later we see Val lying down in her cell when her private
hellish thoughts are interrupted by an insistent thump. She sits up and . . .AAAAGH! Her father, Humberto is standing outside her
cell, his eyes blackened! Val screams
and instantaneously he is in the cell sitting next to her, his presence
shockingly real as he watches her silently.
Valeria. Freaks. Out!
She screams that he is dead, he should leave! Two guards rush in and restrain her while a
white coat clad Dr. plunges a syringe into her arm leaving her mumbling and
sprawled on the cement block bed.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #28 Thu 08-20-15: The web gets even more twisted with lies
Refrito: Ari offers to help Doris with his savings. Orlando
declares that he loves Isela and will support her, whatever she decides to do.
If she’s pregnant and wants to keep the baby, they can raise it as their own.
She accepts but wants to leave and get away from her mother. Max tells Maleny
their relationship is over.
Nuevo: Max tells Maleny he’s in love with MD and she has a
classic reaction. She cries (without tears). She accuses Max of cheating. He
tries to explain that nothing’s actually happened between him and MD because he
wasn’t sure of his feelings for her until now and because she’s still in love
with Daniel. Maleny cries that it’s still cheating. And Dan hit
her because of MD. Max says she knows that’s not true. She calls him
a liar and a coward. Her brother messed around with MD for months, but now Max
is trituando(=grinding, crushing, shredding. In general,
destroying) the love they’ve shared for years for MD?! She
knocks some stuff off of the table they’re sitting at and storms out.

Lo Imperdonable #68 (Mex #69) Thu 8/20/15 Mariana Wrecks Havoc And Emi Pops The Question
(Filling in for Adriana Noel)
Clemente looking decent in a cheap suit visits Jorge at the PC offices and tries to get info on Veronica to no avail. He pretends to care about Veronica and tells Jorge that he would like to see his niece. Jorge replies with a "I'll think about it and let you know". Ha!

At the hospital, Virginia turns on the waterworks and plays victim. She tells Danny boy that she's "sacrificing herself" for their future and here he comes threatening her. He tells her it's no threat -- he's just being cautious because he knows her well and realizes that she isn't so indifferent to Emi. She tells him his threats are not necessary. He tells her that he hopes so and orders her to report to him from Cancun. He leaves the room. Virginia calls him an idiot. You got that right, Virginia!
AP, Pablo, and Gramps enjoy a nice family dinner at Gramps' place. AP questions Pablo about his reasons for getting nervous every time he thinks about his exhibition in New York. He tells her that it's because the exhibition is a fundamental step in his career and his future depends on it. Smiles all around. (Mauricio senses a storm coming...)
The next morning, Nanci walks towards Marty telling him that she wants to speak with him. He tells her that if she's going to continue insisting with the same thing then despite not wanting to he'll have to ask her to stay away. Nanci tells him that she has come to tell him something else and he has to listen.

La Sombra del Pasado #132 (MX 135)-Thursday 8/20/15
I always get a little misty-eyed when a show comes to an end and especially when it's my last recap. I'm glad I have Muchacha italiana to look forward to and I'm so happy that most of the team is staying on for it.
Eli, hellashelle, Kat and Lila- you are all the best teammates a person could hope for. I really feel like I've been a part of something special on this show.
Eli-your wicked wit is enviable. I wish I had just a smidgen of it. Your ability to compact the episode into such a powerfully funny recap leaves me amazed.
hellashelle-I groaned along with you every time your "nemesis" graced the screen. I totally stole your "long and short" of it a couple times and you were very gracious about it. I thank you for that. I hope I get to be on a recapping team with you again very soon! I hate that I'm too behind on YNCELH to join that conversation.
Kat-How do I even begin to thank you for all your support since DQTQTQ? I am honored and relieved that you haven't fired me.
Lila- I love your enthusiasm. Your love of Telenovelas and the characters in them shines through every line...and sometimes your hatred ;-)
*ahem* I'll get on with it then...

Lo Imperdonable #67 Wed 8/19/15 Evil Manny
I'm very busy here so I won't have part two up until tonight or possibly tomorrow morning.
I also need to say something very quickly, I'll write more once I've calmed down and can properly expressed myself: I have been made aware of some comments that have been posted on the recaps comment section that are hurtful and offensive and which have really discouraged me. I can not believe what I have read and am now too upset to say anything more.
JackieV- welcome to the patio! And to any lurkers out there, come play with us! This thing is becoming dreadful and the only thing that might save it are the witty comments from the patio!
And now your recap:

JackieV- welcome to the patio! And to any lurkers out there, come play with us! This thing is becoming dreadful and the only thing that might save it are the witty comments from the patio!
And now your recap:
- We get more of Veronica telling Matilde and Maggie that she will never forgive her mother for leaving her in the hands of her father- she does not remember much from her childhood but she does remember his temper, his shouts and his violence.
- Maggie and Matilde try to tell Veronica that she does not know what her mother was dealing with, but Vero doesn't care, her mother never even looked for her and she will never, ever forgive her, the topic so upsets her that she had to leave.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 27 Wed 8/19/15 - The Devil works Part Time
( Some scenes were merged out of context. Children below the age of 18 may find certain scenes disturbing)
Ivana in her Rant Mode announces bloody revenge on her enemies even if she is to ally with Mole Jacinto. Gerry is not fond of the scheme because Ivana was never that kind of person, she's in fact a great person . Gerry tries to convince Ivana to forget all this but she rejects so Gerry is outta there! At the exit he encounters with the Mole . The Mole glances Gerry with a creepy but satisfied look. When Gerry is gone, Jacinto's left hand shook as if he was ejaculating.
Ari is telling Doris that he was just telling Maly on phone that she cannot play tennis in the club anymore cause her Mommy Dearest sent Arango to threaten him over helping Maly suing Dan for abuse charges. Doris didnt believe it but she did went to Orlando to confirm it. Ari is shocked that she trusts Orlando more than him. Doris asks Ari to check on Orlando cause he was feeling bad over something.
Ursula informs Maly that she has talked with Ari saying that he cared more for money than for Maly. Arango will give Ari money but Maly will have to pay him back after she gets married . Maly gets mad but Ursula says that this is Maly's mess. If Maly wouldnt have killed her father everything would have been fine. Maly blames Ursula and Arango instead and begins crying. Alma comes to console her. Ursula and Maly manage to convince Alma that MD is getting her hands on Max to get revenge on Dan. She has even told bad words to Ivana to make her abort. Ursula advises Alma to convince Leo that staying in the neighborhood would be a very bad choice because the sisters are pure cancer. Clara asks Alma if she can visit Leo but she rudely rejects her. She does not want Clara in Leo's company ever.
MD is apparently on a job interview but gets called by Espy over work stuff. In the end she does get the job alongside a bag of cloth. She later goes to some apartment and falls right into Dan's trap. He starts grabbing and kissing her. MD does kiss him too but later she relents. She tells him on the stairway that some battles are lost since beginning . This is just one of them. Dan says that his family and Max put them in a trap. MD leaves but unfortunately she has left her bag in the apartment as well UGH. Dan begins spewing crocodile tears to himself but it's not like that we would care.
The Viper Josefa got visited by Claudio who is very worried for Isela. She has not returned his calls. The Heifer wastes no time in informing that Isela got raped by Orlando. She feigns care and worry for her pretty virgin daughter.
Orlando calls Isela lamenting that her mother treats her like that. But he still wants to marry her. If he knew his name he would kill him in moments notice. She hangs up because Claudio comes in the room. Claudio regrets what happened, he abused his position but Isela does like him. Her mother misunderstood her thats all. Claudio tries to touch her but she rejects him. He looks with a regretful look between his eyes. Ari was also there so Orlando threatens to kill him if he ever opens his mouth.
Espy warns Hon to stop spending that much money because one day it may run out. Hon says that she wants to see Vermin work. Espy doubts that anyone would give him work. Hon wants no mortifications though besides what will she say her son when Vermin has to leave? Espy says to say that it was all just to help Vermin. MD comes in and Hon gives her the blessing. MD informs Espy what's up. Dan even claimed that it was all Max's fault. Espy is insulted by his cowardice.
Max frees up two colleges from Julian's prison and they surprise him . Max hopes that they will remain on good behavior. He is heading out but Clara stops him because they would not let her see Leo. Why did not he tell her? Max says that he was doing something else but they did release him from coma. He has also phoned Adrian, the lawyer who was supposed to work with Julian and told him of the situation off-screen . Someone comes to give Clara the dress that MD forgot in the apartment. Clara also asks if she could send an SMS greeting to Leo.
Ursula is counting money but she also hopes that Ari will not be demanding more dough . She wonders why her children choose lovers from the poor class. Arango laughs at that since the kids are repeating Ursula's history without knowing it. Ursula orders him to not tell anyone of the past and Arango promises since its convenient not to forget certain things . What a loving creep!

La Sombra del Pasado, Capítulo 130 (Mx 133): Little Ironies in the Night
You guys, it's been a pleasure. I've had such a great time recapping Sombra, I'm sorry to see it end. I want to thank the rest of the AMAZING recap team and everyone who sat on the Naughty Melon's patio for making my first recapping experience so awesome. For all of those reasons, and for all it's ridiculousness, I'm gonna miss this TN. On to the cap! (I'll edit later)
The Short of It: Everyone treads
water as they find out Hum’s condition (not good). Sev takes expected
advantage/action while Hum’s alone in the hospital. Pru and Val try to flee the
cops. Also, Joaq tells Flavia he wants a divorce.

Lo Imperdonable #65 Mon 8/17/15 You oughta be in pictures!
In which:
• Disgusting Aaron exchanges fire with a cop. Both are wounded and Aaron gets away. More vindictive than ever, he vows to kill Vero.• Poor sick Ginny seems to have Emi where she wants him... or does she?
• Marty seems to have Vero where he wants her... or does he?
• It's movie night in Mina Escondida – pass the popcorn!
• And Nanciyaga STILL doesn't get it.
Jumping right in with the new stuff –
In Mexico City, the police send for reinforcements in the hopes of catching Disgusting Aaron (thanks, Mauricio!) when he comes looking for Magdalena at the hotel.
In Mina Escondida, Blanquita, Polo and Matilde join the picnickers. There are smiling introductions and hugs all around. Vero scratches inside her cast with a knitting needle – the itching is driving her nuts. (The knitting needle is getting so much play that I'm starting to believe it's part of the plot, like maybe Vero uses it to stab Manny in the eye the next time he drags his knuckles onto the screen.)

Ivana

Dolores said that Daniel had no money. She demanded to know what

We had a Susana and a Margarito sighting tonight! Margarito has gotten pleasantly plump and Susana is still with the fists at the ready...just like Fac. I think that may have been the funniest fight scene I've ever seen.
Well, played show. You totally psyched me out! That whole scene with Conchita finding the envelope behind the painting of the Last Supper was a DREAM!!! Porfirio wakes up from his nightmare screaming “You found my secret!!” What could it be?
Isa catches herself singing the theme to AI3! Just like me! She sends Peloncha out to get the newspaper. Peloncha grumbles about how old fashioned it is to read the paper. People use their tablets these days. She looks up to see Porfirio. She’s afraid and prays that God take her away...but not to Saint Peter. Porfirio gets flirty. Peloncha intones “cruz cruz cruz que se vaya el diablo y que venga Jesús” (May the devil begone and Jesus come!) Conchita makes her way to the hedges...and she is not happy that Peloncha seems to be busting moves on her “territory.” Porfirio asks Peloncha if she’d like to make him a good hard-boiled egg.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Cap 24, Fri August 14, 2015- Maria Dolores and Ivana Get Their Daniel is Wakeup Call; But Will They Hang Up on the Loser?
~~Recapped by JDesdeNYC~~
Scenes combined so as to not annoy the recapper and reader
To Tell the Truth
Susana tells an incredulous Gerry that Daniel has threatened to throw her out of Ivana’s house after he and Ivana marry. Susana says she has to play both sides; while she will continue to pretend to support the Dan-Ivana marriage to Dan’s face, she thinks it makes no sense for Ivana to marry that worm and find out later he fooled her. Gerry still plays the “they should marry for the sake of the baby” card and Ivana shows up. Susana leaves and Gerry finally breaks it to Ivana that Maria Dolores wasn’t some “fling” (aventura) for Daniel. Gerry saw MD come to the hospital, where Ivana was interned during her miscarriage scare, in her wedding gown looking for Daniel. Cara de impactada de Ivana.
Josefa still is angry and hateful towards Isela asking why she confirmed Honoria’s suspicion that she is messing around with Claudio. Josefa plans to get rid of Orlando once and for all so Isela can focus on the “Get Claudio” mission.
The Lying Santibanez Come to Blows
Alma reminds Claudio of his responsibility to the Santibanez family, as a close friend of the dead Daddy Santibanez, so he can take care of the Maleny/Dan abuse situation privately. Speaking of the devil Dan and Maleny argue about Max insisting on reporting Dan to the police. Maleny says of course she won’t report him but Dan insists Ari clarify and retract to Max that Dan physically abuses his sister. Maleny says Ari can’t do that and neither will Max believe her if she says the accusation is false. Mal says MD is going to run into Max’s arms as MD will not return to Dan after all the lies he has told. Dan says he’ll get MD back by telling her Mal was the one who got the fake judge for the civil wedding ceremony. An outraged Mal grabs Dan’s face and tells him no way she’ll allow Dan to lie on her like that. She will tell MD the whole truth because if Max leaves her, Dan won’t get to be with Maria Dolores. The siblings push and shove with Dan eventually actually abusing Maleny. The avenging Max sees the abuse firsthand and Dan only stops after Max sucker punches him. Max insists that Mal reports Dan to the police.

Lo Imperdonable #64 (Tel #65) Fri 8/14/15 The Return Of The Veronica Sketch
Vero wants to know what "secrets" Nanci is talking about. Marty lies to save his butt and claims that the "secrets" are the ones about 1. Dim being his brother and 2. that Dim took his life. Vero now understands Nanci's reason for calling her la mala mujer. Nanci must also believe that Vero was the slut who had been with both brothers. Vero is really angry now and orders Nanci not to get near her or her hubby again. Then she turns to Marty and demands that he put Nanci in her place or she won't have her (Vero) around anymore. She then storms off on her crutches.
Marty turns to Nanci and yells at her for going around saying that she loves him. Nanci tries to hug him and tells him that it's true that she does love him. But Marty backs off and tells Nanci that he loves his wife. Nanci says that what she says is true. The patron is still keeping secrets that when they come to light will separate him from Vero.
Meanwhile, Ana Perla and Blanquita chit chat about Ana Perla's upcoming wedding. The wedding will take place before Pablo heads off to The Big Apple. Ana Perla will be accompanying Pablo as his wife on the trip and is worried that she won't be on the level of all those important people that will be at Pablo's exhibition. And Pablo did want the wedding to be AFTER he returns from The Big Apple.... Blanquita thinks Pablo wanted it like that so he could have more money and is sure that Pablo will sell a lot of his crappy paintings at the exhibition.

Why, if you weren't a woman I'd. . . .! La Sombra del Pasado #128 (Mex 131) Friday, 8-14-15
Good evening, good morning, good afternoon wherever you are my beloved Sombra Patio Peeps! Let’s jump right in!
We get another view of that beautiful, candle-lit farewell
to Padre Jeronimo. We are up close and
personal with all the misty eyes bathed in the soft glow of tens of votives ,
warm embraces and a view from above as the crowd gently parts as Padre walks
amidst them and takes his leave.
Right away we see what the evil lackey, Javier is up to: he’s going to damage a gate holding back the
waters of the huerta’s reservoir, flooding it and wasting this precious
resource! Uuuuuf!
Humberto has returned home after his conversation with Cris
and confronts Valeria about her monumental lie that Cris is the father of her
fetus. Hum shouts his outrage and shame
at her actions and, of course, Val tries to play the offended one! She’s so tired of his complaints! He never has anything positive to say to
her! How in the hell can he when she is
always talking nonsense! He can’t
understand how she could lay with that good for nothing Abelardo! Well, Pru protests Val needed some comfort
after Cris dumped her and Val tells her to shut up because she (Pru) is to
blame for all this. It goes on from
there but Hum manages to yell at Val that for once in her life she needs to
take responsibility for her own acts though Pru IS guilty of covering for her
all her life and he’s sure Pru knew about this!
Val yells back if he wants to help her he should tell her how to get rid
of this g.d. kid. Oh no, she’s going to
have the baby and HE’s going to see to it!
Pru looks on with eyes as huge as those figures in the sad sack/endearing paintings from the 60s.

Amores con Trampa #99 Porfirio's ghosts are closin in on him... and Carmen needs to get off the see saw.
Refritos: Facu offers to Santee to sell him the stock now…
or you are screwed up for good.
Mysterious woman talks on phone with Frankee… asks him how
is the investigation going. He is about to leave San Bartolo el Chico but the
Samarripa cousins are making it a bit rough. She remembers them. And gives him
advice to watch his wallet. She insists
he needs to find Porfirio Carmona.
Meanwhile Porfirio tells Conchita that he has only truly
loved one woman… his wife… he has kept
on living with the hope to someday reunite with her… his wife was everything to
him. The only woman he has truly truly truly truly loved. (seems even the rooster is tired of hearing
him say the same line).
Lo Nuevo:
Santee and Isa atrive home to see Felipe on a
really-fun-looking electric one-wheeler. They all talk that Santee just sold
his stock in the company to Facu… Isa is ok considering they can live on the money
he just got until the new company he is starting is operational. He whiles a
bit about bureocracy and government being real slow in Mex for these things… (I
have a feeling he has some other thing that is worrying him).
At Carmonas, Porfirio is dusting his last supper painting.
Perpetua comes by and notices he is not hugry even for her boiled eggs. He is acting strange and she knows it Maria
comes by and Perpetua tells her about her concern about Porfirio. He is acting
strange. Maria undermines what Perpetua
is saying. Perp wants to call the doctor.
Isa talks to Santee, she is talking a bit of nonsense, even
tells him he should go find a job (yeah right, it will rain upwards before
that, Isa) He talks about all the expenses and all the things she wants that
cost money, even a lipo.
At the gym, Estefi comes in. the trainer with beard talks to
her, is a bit cold with her. Not a good day to get on her back. She whines about Perpetua constantly
scrutinizing her. Estefi assures the guy
that Perpetua might be smart but not as smart as her. In comes the other woman and Estefi is
running away from her and putting the guy in the middle. (not sure who this
woman is but seems estefi owes her money or has tricked her into something,
sorry have not watched much this week).
At office, Felipe wants to talk to Facu about something,
Facu has to poke him a bit before he opens his mouth. Felipe finally does. Wants permission to miss work, the end of year
dance is coming up at the college. Facu
wants to hear more. It seems there is
some kind of king/queen of the dance contest where the winners can win
grants/scholarships to go to college
overseas.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 23, Thu 08-13-2015: Dance of the Rat Fink
Quick refrito: MD
almost swoons into Julian’s arms after he tells her her marriage license
isn’t real.
Lo Nuevo: Ari catches up Maleny as
she drives her sporty convertible out of the hotel. He’s freaking out a little
because her mom caught them together. She’s annoyed because he’s more worried
about losing his job than about their relationship ending, but tells him not to
freak--her mom has no idea who he is or even that he works; she thinks he lives
off of Mal. Alma calls her and tells her to hurry over.

Lo Imperdonable #63 (Tel #64) Thu 8/13/15 Let's get this party started!
Refrito
Aaron tells Malena that their daughter has
been adopted by a very rich family, after he decided to fake his death.
The new stuff
Pueblo Nuevo – If the engagement is so
pretentious, what is there left for the wedding?
Pablo’s mom has very nice words to say
about her son – ever since his father died, he proved to be hardworking and
well behaved, making her extremely proud. If Crescencio accepts him into his
family, he will have nothing to be sorry about.
Abuelo is happy with what he hears, all his
remaining doubts are now gone. He asks for the party ceremony to continue. Pablo
starts his speech: he asks the head of the family to give his consent and then
both he and Ana Perla kneel, while Crescencio gives his godly blessing.
Sorry, this looks so ridiculous.
As Pablo slips a ring on AP’s finger, Julio
looks on in anger and then leaves.
In the city
Aaron hugs Malena, promising her that their
daughter had a very good life. He kisses her (both Malena and the Patio can
barely stand it). Malena wants some more information, but Aaron has shared
enough for now. He wants some money to pay his debts. After she obliges, he’s
out the door, leaving Malena to shake with disgust and with the realization that Aaron hasn’t changed one bit.

La Sombra del Pasado #127 (Mex 130) 8/13
Too short, out of order, mostly from memory, probably not coherent and needing lots of fill in.
The Fetus (Thanks, Eli!)
Cristobal is now well aware that the fetus is not his. He leaves the gynecologists office in search of Val but Juanita tells him that Val is in San Miguel.
Val is given literature to read about the procedure and paperwork to fill out. She cannot interrupt a pregnancy after 12 weeks and will need to have an ultrasound. Val assures the doctor that she is not that far along and will bring the ultrasound report from her own doctor. The clinic doctor explains that the clinic will have to perform their own ultrasound. It's required by law. To interrupt a pregnancy after 12 weeks could be very dangerous for the mother and is a crime.
Chris is waiting at Val's door when she comes home. He confronts her about lying to him. Of course he has no memory of "that night" because NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE BABY IS NOT HIS! Val says she doesn't know what Cris's father told him...ooops! Cris is cara de why am I the last to know?? What? Cris is incredulous. "My father knew???" Cris tells Val it's her OB/GYN who spilled those beans. Cris is greatly relieved that he will never have to see Val ever again.

Lo Imperdonable #62 (Tel #63) Wed 8/12/15 "Party On While You Can, Folks, Because Your Happiness Is About to End!!!"
Quick Note: Hi everyone, I'm back and happy to report that we made the move across country without a hitch. First, allow me to give a quick shout out and thank you to the rest of our recap team for pinch hitting for me these past few weeks. They all did a great job, as usual. Also, I managed to catch up yesterday on my reading of all recaps and comments and in the process I realized (since I watch the Mexico broadcast) that at some point Univision combined two episodes, so that Univision's episode #62 last night was actually episode #63 of the original Televisa broadcast in Mexico. I noted this in my title for any of you that read our recaps but watch online copies of Televisa's broadcast.
On with the recap. Some scenes are combined.
Lo Viejo: V-Snake feels awful, but it's no surprise. Daniel warned her of the effect of the medicine he gave her to cause her a medical crisis and gain even more sympathy from her family. She whispers to him a plan for squeezing all the juice out of this manufactured "crisis". Vero tells Martin she has to go to Mexico City and can't wait any longer because she is worried about Malena. Malena runs to the shower to wash away the filth left on her body by her rapist husband Aaron.
Lo Nuevo:
Martin promises Vero that he will speak with her doctor about going to Mexico City, but if the doctor says it's too dangerous for her, then he can't do anything about it. She tells Martin she needs to go to their room to rest. After she leaves, Martin tells Alfredo how happy he now is with Vero, but confesses he still has to learn to control his jealousy. He worries that Emi still loves Vero even if he plans to marry Virginia. Alfredo reminds him Vero loves him, but he needs to control his jealousy or he will lose her forever. The doctor shows up. Martin tells him about Vero's wish to go to Mexico City and the doctor agrees to examine Vero.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 22 Wed 8/12/15 - Where 's the acid when you need it?
Josefa the Antique Bullying Bitch with a case is spreading the rumors to the neighbors about the civil wedding being fake . She challenges Julian who is flabbergasted by all of this to tell the truth but Julian who is also assisted by Doris lie that this is just a big fat lie. Espy berates Josefa for constantly telling lies about MD but time will show The Heifer her place soon enough ( Does that mean she's getting the white jacket? ). Josefa promises them all that her claims will be proven soon enough. Isela now alone with Josefa berates her for lying but Josefa assures that the rumors are true cause she knows exactly what she has heard from Hon.
Espy asks Max how much they owe him but Max assures her that the most important thing is to support MD who is by the way looks half-dead from despair. Max and Leo leave. Clara & Espy later console MD who doesn't say a word.
Doris is leaving but Julian asks Ari to take away Jenny ( The Anonymous Alcoholics Girl) away. Jenny says that she will stay to prepare some food for Espy. Ari tries to take Doris with him but she refuses cause staying with him is getting dangerous. She would much rather walk to her house alone than leave with the douche Ari. ( Way to go girl!!) . Ari points out that she could tell the truth but she didn't cause she loves him but Doris tells him she kept quiet to not bother MD more. She leaves proudly and it turns out that Orly and Julian were listening to the whole conversation. Julian threatens to not tell MD anything otherwise Ari will repent it for all of his life. Jenny by bad luck restrains Julian. Orly gets mad too but Ari reminds him that he knows how the things are much to Isela's shock.
Max comes home and Alma tells him that Maly has been calling nonstop but Max promises to call her in order to not molest us further. He also informs Alma and Claudio of Dan's latest antics and Ivana's pregnancy. Claudio says that it was not a betrayal cause he was not with Ivana when he was marrying MD and despite his marriage he could have taken care of Ivana's child. Leo tells Claudio that Dan lied to MD about his job and virginity. Max points out that not caring for things is Dan's motto of Life, he cannot even take care of himself. Claudio repeats again that they have meddled enough in the situation but Leo says that he will meddle in it if that is required cause if you love a gal you gotta respect her!
Arango is taking the incredibly disobedient Maly to home. She wants to go have some teenage fun but Arango shall give her a cent no more . Maly slips that no one cares for her, not even her BF and Lover. Arango calls Ursula who reprimands Maly for her stupidities. At the same time Max calls : He is coming to the house. Arango panics because in her state Maly could spit out of her infidelity. Later Maly arrives back in the house by force. Isidro informs them all that Max has arrived. Ursula goes to take care of the situation. She assures him that she and Maly had nothing to do with it. Ursula feigns care for MD's situation and confides that she was only looking out for the health of her grandson.

Oh.my.sweet.baby.jesus.
Read more »
Tonight's show picks up where we left off last night: Candela is ready for war, she wants payback for the abuse she suffered at the hand (that never gets old) of Severiano so she walks into his bedroom as he slumbers and points a gun at his head. Severiano wakes up and asks what she's doing, her reply? "Getting payback for what you did to me last night"- he begs her to put the gun down, she refuses and tells him she's going to kill him like the dog that he is, and then it happens. The gun goes off, missing Severiano's head by mere inches, instead a poor feather pillow meets his/her maker. RIP little pillow, RIP.

Lo Imperdonable #61 Tue 8/11/15 The Episode Eli hated to have to recap
Okay, so I hated this episode, and I'll tell you why: this is going to throw the recap a little bit out of order but I need to get this out. The last five telenovelas that I've watched all had a female in the cast suffer a sexual assault and quite frankly I find it disgusting that in 2015 writers are still so lazy that they would resort to having a someone be sexually abused in order to move the plot along.
In last night's episode Magda fell victim to her awful husband Aaron. He raped her and in the process made me hate this show even more. Because not only has this been heavy on the slut shaming and treating the women like dirt but now they throw a rape in? Really writers? REALLY?! Think about it you guys, five novelas and all five had rapes in them, why? Are there really no better ways to tell a story than to have a woman be brutally abused? Really? Anyhoo, the recap is below and I'm personally counting down the episodes till this one is OVER.

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo 125 (Mex 128), 08-11-2015: Old dogs with old tricks should remember payback's a bitch
Don Antonio has Sev where the
Devil’s had so many others: on his knees, begging for his life. He wants to
kill Sev like the rabid, cowardly dog that he is. He wants to kill him in the
shadows where he’s committed so many of his own crimes. With no witnesses, his
death will be just another unsolved crime in the trail of “not-enough-evidence”
crimes that Sev’s been racking up for years. It’s what he deserves. It’s what
the town deserves. Indeed, Don Antonio might be the hero Santa Lucia deserves.
Sadly, it’s not to be. Sev has a saving grace and it’s name is Emanuel. By
virtue of the fact that Sev fathered Eman, Don Toño won’t kill him and before
he leaves, he makes sure Sev knows it. “Don’t forget this: Emanuel doesn’t owe
you his life. You owe him yours.” Don Toño’s barely out of the shot before Sev
is plotting revenge. “You should have killed me,” he mutters to himself,
struggling to regain his composure. “You should have killed me.”

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #21 Tue 8/11/15: Hotfootin' It Back To Easy Street
It’s Friday and Maria Dolores is in her wedding dress telling Daddy up on high, as she has flashbacks to her happy childhood, that this is the day he and she always thought to share together.
At the hospital downtown, news that Ivana is in the hospital has traveled fast in the cultured and well-heeled circles, that Ivana is doing poorly. Ursula, with Me-me-me-first Maleny in tow, has come to pay homage in hopes of winning her over again. Ivana’s unwitting doctor lets the preggers news slip, believing it’s still all in the family and happy news for Daniel, the soon-to-be-doting daddy.

La Sombra del Pasado #124 (Mx 127) - Mon 8/10 - Uncertainty
After Sev slaps Cande, Dominga helps her up. Sev goes on a really bizarre rant about how Cande never loved him and that's why he sought out Roberta. He put her on a pedestal, and now he knows she was always thinking of Padre J when she was, uh, "with" Sev. He's acting heartbroken over it, with tears and everything, but the question is…is he really? And more importantly, does anybody care or are we all handing him quarters? Cande taunts Sev with "At least he's a whole man, and I don't mean your missing arm." I suppose she means his soul. Sev taunts back with "At least I'm a real man and not one who put on a cassock rather than fighting for the woman he loves. But of course, he doesn't know what a woman is." Totally thought he was going to end that with "of course, he never loved you." Missed a primo opportunity there, Sev. He continues his tantrum alone in his office, downing a drink and breaking the glass in his hand.
Don Camilo talks to the cops about the afternoon Adelina died. And BTW, he thinks Sev did it. Incompetente barely restrains himself from rolling his eyes.

Lo Imperdonable #60 Mon 8/10/15 Yeah, but you should see the mosquito!
What goes up must come down, including Marty's mood.
Over breakfast, Marty and Vero are all lovey-dovey as they chat about their new house (which will have a room for Matilde, natch). Marty wants her to see the plans he has drafted, so he steps away for a moment to get them. Meanwhile, Matilde joins Vero at the table. The women get to talking about Poor Emi and The Ginny Problem. "I know she'll never be able to make him happy," Vero says.
Uh oh. Marty has returned and overheard the conversation.
"And who do you think could make him happy?" he asks grimly.
Go figure. Now that she's really sick, she fakes being well.

Rocio remembers that Isa has the code to the boutique. Despite Fac trying to stop her, Maria goes to Isa’s house and accuses her of breaking in and tearing up the store. Isa denies it. She is not a common thief.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: BAJO EL MISMO CIELO, EL SEÑOR DE LOS CIELOS 3, AVENIDA BRASIL, etc – week of August 10, 2015
There’s a whole lot of stock shtick going on in Bajo el mismo cielo these days (the Evil Blondes who deny their roots [pun intended], say, or Low Self-Esteem Girl falling for the Probably Not Totally Bad Boy). But it’s still a remarkable show, I think, for two reasons:
-First, because its story is told from the perspective of the undocumented Mexican immigrant. I can’t recall another story voiced this way. Can you?
-And second, because the characters of Carlos, Adela and Luis – the moral core of the story – are beautifully written and acted.
I’m so glad you are watching this one and talking about it here. I’m looking forward to reading what you have to say this week.
Fans of Avenida Brasil and El Señor de los cielos – let’s hear from you!
Everyone – have a great week!

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #19 Fri 8/7/15: Wham, Bam, What a Sham
Parte 1~~
Daniel catches his mistake and glibly promises to marry Maria Dolores in a proper church as soon as they might be able to, mourning and the added expense being his two major considerations. Mama Esperanza and MD are glad to hear it—and in the end both women say sí, sí, sí as Viewerville screams at the screen, “--Oh no, no, no!!!!!”
Gerry is coaxing Ivana out of bed. (We note the matching purple in Gerry’s choice of shirt and Iva’s nightgown which serves to confound those of us in Viewerville who are currently laying bets as to which team talented Gerald bats for.) Work has never betrayed her, so alright. She’ll go back today.
In the barrio, a nurse and her AA sponsor arrive at Honoria’s home to help out with Fermin’s illness. Honoria is shocked to see two respectable-looking individuals there instead of the two drunks she thought their doctor seemed to be advocating. Oooops! Her bad.

Lo Imperdonable #59 Fri 8/7/15 The Makeup, The Breakup, And The Engagement
(scenes out of order and combined)
Alternative Title: Will The Character Who Isn't An Idiot Please Raise Their Hand...
The Makeup
Vero wanted Marty to look her in the eyes and tell her that he truly believes that she never had anything to do with Dem. Marty NEVER does this. Instead, he sweet talks himself out of the situation -- he tells her how love wonderful is because it heals all wounds -- and he also tells her that he's never loved anyone as much as he loves her. Vero for a like a second tells him that there's no point in the two getting back together if he does not trust him. But as expected she falls for the sweet talk and caves in. The two kiss and makeup once again without resolving any of their issues. For now all is well with them until the next time Crazy Marty makes an appearance which is bound to happen sooner or later. (more on this later...)
Meanwhile in her hotel room, Matilde lights a candle to La Virgencita and prays that Vero finds happiness at the side of a good man. The next morning, she wakes up to find that Vero's bed has not been slept in. Where could her precious niña be? Matilde's prayers have been answered (at least for now) because Vero is with Marty in his room. The two have spent the night together and Marty watches her sleep. She wakes up and kisses him. She asks him to promise her that he'll NEVER do anything to make her want to be far away from him. He promises (and over at The Patio we take on bets on how long it'll be before he breaks this promise just like he has broken all the other promises he has made before). He has her promises that she'll always love him and she promises. The two kiss.

Amores con Trampa #94 Aug 7, 2015 And Porfirio's secret is finally out! (yikes!!) and Maria and Florencio save the day for Facu... even if he does not like it
Estefi runs
to Facu, is very nervous about them leaving. What if you stay behind? (she even
makes him fall and of course she drops right on top of him
Perpetua
brings Porfirio some eggs…he is glad she came, he wants to talk to her about
something important. Something you and I lived before… about MY WIFE and YOUR
HUSBAND many many years ago! (whoa!! Stop
the presses!! Did he say what he just said??)
Perpetua does not want to talk about the past… he says no use trying to
cover the past… it will come to the surface any moment now… he wants the family
to know the truth, the whole truth… She is so against it she just walks away on
him. He tells himself that he does not
know what will happen with the family but that secret will come out sooner or
later.
Facu gets
Estefi off him. She feels bad, she feels like they are her family. She would even go with him (I mean, with ALL
of you! … to the end of the world)… you
all are my family!
Beto
talks with Maria and Jacinto. Maria says maybe we don’t have to leave. I
have an idea, but I need you (Beto) to help me with it!
Facu looks
for Maria all over the house, but he can’t find them. Perpetua tells him Maria
and Beto left a while ago. They only said that they had to do some errands
related to the store… Facu had thought she would go with him to the signing of
the documents about the company.
Perpetua asks him if he is sure he wants to just turn the company over
to that crappy guy Velasco. Facu says it’s
a done deal. Porfirio asks where his
Concha is… She went to the market, and he says too bad I did not know, would
have gone with her to eat a campechada…
Facu and Perpetua joke and laugh about Porfirio ALWAYS thinking of food.
On his way
out Facu meets the Italian lady who turns out to be Isa’s mom. She flirts with him a bit too. She casually
demands him to give her some of his time and attention. She even invites him to
go to dinner at some restaurant she knows… later. She will wait for him with open arms… eh…
open stomach. Facu says better wait
for me while sitting down… (LOL!)
Santee and
Isa are already at the company. They are
basically thinking it’s a done deal. Isa
greets the receptionist. Felipe comes
and is surprised Isa is there. Isa came
to accompany Santee to celebrate the beginning of their new life. Facu arrives.
Feli says we are ready, Esteban is finishing up the papers. Esteban
comes out saying it is all ready. They all
go into Facu’s office… Santee and Isa trail them a bit to do a celebratory
march into the office… they basically wrestle each other to go in the office
door first.
Esteban
gives the papers to Facu. Facu signs
reluctantly after Esteban gives him one last warning to read what he is signing
so there are no misunderstandings later.
In run Beto and Maria… Don’t sign!!!! (reminds me of a scene in The
Goonies movie). Maria asks if he signed. Yup.
Maria grabs the papers and rips them to pieces. She announces to Isa
that she won’t let them make a fool of him again. Santee gets angry, they have no money to finish
the product/work… Beto announces they have a new investor who will put as much
money as they need. Santee is in
disbelief… WHO?? (Florencio makes his
entrance) YO!!!

La Sombra del Pasado #123 (Mex 126) 8-7-15 Valeria the Skankster Strikes Out and Sev's Anvils Line Up!
We begin with the end of the conversation at Cande’s bedside where Cris asks her upfront if she was an accomplice to the lie that Sev told about how he lost his arm. He asks if she knew that Sev did not loose his arm in an accident with a plow or some such but rather that Raimundo Alcocer hacked him with a machete. Cande says she didn’t know. She always suspected his story but she didn’t want to know the details or become involved in such a disturbing event. Cris takes Cande’s hand. He shares his fear that he is losing the respect he had for her and Sev forever, he feels so deceived and betrayed. Cande says she would do anything in her power to change how he feels but she cannot defend Sev because she doesn’t know what his real thoughts and motives are. Cande swears she loves Cris with all her heart and it hurts her deeply this abyss that has grown between him. Cris drops her hand and leaves her side, he is unmoved and unconvinced and leaves her room with his single tear still in place. Ah, Candela, for once you tell the truth [she DIDN”T know how Sev was really severed] and your beloved Cris doesn’t believe you.
PadreJ and Aldonza talk at ES. PJ is concerned that Eman is not there. Aldonza thinks he’s exaggerating: Eman can’t be with her 24/7 as if he’s her
body guard! Padre relents but insist
Eman have more of a presence with her.
He tells her of his plan to do a mass for Adelina, Raimundo and Roberta
and convinces her to not leave Roberta’s remains alone in the church: if her own daughter can’t forgive her, how
does she expect anyone else to? She
agrees. Their remains will be together
and he will do the mass before he leaves Santa Lucia. She would like the mass to be private and
absolutely agrees that Eman will be there.
Aldonza asks if the results from Adelina’s autopsy are back. PJ is sure they are but he doesn’t know the
details but will follow up for sure.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 18 Thurs 08/06/2015: Why are the slimy ones so good at their job?
I'm desperately sorry this is so late! Next week I'll be far more timely, I promise! I apologize for the typos and editing too; I'm running on very little sleep and I want people to be able to discuss the eppy.
After Max stupidly admits that he said he wanted to “play”
with her, MD doesn’t give him a chance to explain himself and kicks both him
and Daniel out. “I’m not some rich boy’s toy!” Max and Leo leave right away,
but Daniel lingers to say that Max is on Ivana’s side because they’re friends
and he won’t be able to give Maleny all she wants by himself. MD remains firm
in telling him to get out, but she still loves him in her head.

Weekend Discussion: First Annual Televisa Perversity Pageant (Men's Division)
We're
getting into some seriously poisonous stuff with our latest round of Televisa villains. Lately it seems that the growing influence of male writers
is resulting in more perverse male villains than we used to know 10
years ago. Therefore we are now in the finals of our first-annual
Perversity Pageant (Men's Division). Who should get the Crown of Fire?

Lo Imperdonable #58 Thu 8/6/15 She's alive! She's alive! But she's not too bright, is she?
In Mexico City
Old lovers - hard not to shake with disgust
Malena and Botel
find a creepy doll in the coffin. Does that mean that her daughter is alive ?
Estas viva, Veronica ?
Back at the hotel,
everyone congratulates Malena for how well she’s taking the news. Botel is the one who looks rather shaken up, so
Malena herself suggests he should go for a walk, relax. Botel and the PI leave,
after deciding that they would resume the search and this time they will force
the truth out of Clemente and will involve the authorities, too.
Left alone,
Malena, who is everything but calm, wonders if Aaron knows where little
Veronica might be. Just then, he calls her, asking her to join him. She refuses,
demands a proof that their daughter is alive.

La Sombra del Pasado #122 (Mx 125) Thursday 8/6 Check Out The Junk In Her Trunk*
*This title inspired by doris
My cat is sick. He's been to the vet and he's not acting any better. I am in spaz mode right now and I really didn't pay close attention to the episode. Here's what I remember (in no particular order.) I will come back in the morning with a real recap.
Aldonza does not shoot Sev. I guess I should be glad about that since protagonistas don't murder, but I wouldn't have held it against her. She was in a church though...so yeah...bad.
Hum is one hell of a general practitioner. He's performed surgery (amputation, vascular surgery) and now he's participating in Adelina's autopsy. I am pleasantly surprised that they are able to determine that Adelina's death was a homicide. There were no traces of pills in her stomach. It must have been injected. I seem to recall it was ácido bariburico. It's like Ley y Orden exploded all over SL.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 17 Wed 8/5/15 Oh sweetie you don˝t believe in Clowns?
( Some scenes may merged out of context. Also there are some issues with quotes since I have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I really like it but it messed up my keyboard preferences a bit.)
Recap:
MD is at Dan¨s house looking for him but Isidro The Handmaiden tells her that Dan cannot be found, she should ask Uncle Google . Ursula comes instead and MD was about to leave but Ursula tells her to stay. Isidro leaves and MD now alone with Snobby Mom returns Ursie the money that Dan borrowed for the sewing bar. Ursie accuses her of chasing Dan like a dog but MD says that Dan was the one who defrauded her trust. She is giving Ursie the money because she´s happy that she got liberated from her creepy ass scum of a boyfriend.
Isela surprises her molested best friend Orlando and uses her new work as an excuse to ignore him. She also has to pay the bills to the house since MD is without a job ya know. But Orlando is not pleased because Josefa will never agree with their cough cough "friendship". The shop assistant comes and Orlando tells him that he came to buy a sewing machine but Isela also wishes to see the beds for their new house. Ugh yeah right.

Lo Imperdonable #57 Wed 8/5/15 Filler, Filler, Filler, And What's In The Casket?
Filling in for LatinaInMD
Magdalena lies to Botel and tells him that she had a drink because she was very nervous. He tells her mixing booze and medication is a big no no. She promises it won't happen again. He wants her to be OK and to work on her fear of the outdoors. She promises that little by little she'll be able to handle it. She hugs him tight and wishes she could always be in his arms. He notes that she talks as if she's about to disappear from his life which won't ever happen.
Pierre and Pablo chat. Pablo is all smiles -- he's never been soooo happy and thinks that Mina Escondida is a paradise. Pierre thinks the same. Daniel and Matilde show up. Daniel introduces Matilde to Pablo. More chit chat that was pointless. Matilde doesn't like that her niña's hubby yelled at her. But Pablo tells her that Marty is a good man and was probably just desperate because of the situation with Vero (Side note: Yeah because that excuses him behaving like a big fat jerk...NOT). Vero wheels in (thanks Eli!) and tells Pierre that Marty wants to speak to him. Pierre goes to see him (and makes a face of either fear or "I'm not in the mood for his crap!").
Marty apologizes to Pierre for his jealous snit from before and accepts that Pierre is not to blame for his problems with Vero. Pierre hopes his apology is sincere and that he's not apologizing because Vero asked him too. How does Marty respond to this? By basically telling Pierre that yeah he IS only apologizing to him because Vero asked him too. Jerk. He goes on to tell Pierre that he doesn't like him being near Vero. He does accept though that he can't boss Vero around but lets Pierre know that he'll be close to Vero. So he wants the room close to hers like he had asked. Pierre will give him the room. Pierre assures Marty that he's a gentlemen and would never ever get in between a marriage BUT in the end the women are the ones who choose. (Side Note: Is Pierre basically saying that he'd go after Vero if she was free? So much for his LOVE for Claudia.)

La Sombra del Pasado #121 (Mx 124) - Wed 8/5 - Everybody cries
Em is having coffee with Vero and Don Ant. They won't let him take off in the middle of the night alone--they're going with him, just as soon as they're all packed.
Cris asks Don Camilo to call Padre J as Aldonza is still crying and rocking Adelina's body.
Lola visits Padre J to see how Em's doing, but he's left already. Lola throws a tantrum. I agree Em is sad and shouldn't be alone, but he'll be with Don Ant and Vero. Padre J doesn't seem to know that, but he thinks a little solitude would do Em some good. The phone call from Don Camilo interrupts them. Cara de impactado de Padre J! And a "!no puede ser!" into the bargain. He tells Lola that Adelina is dead.

La Sombra del Pasado #120 (Mx 123) - Tue 8/4 - Red dress blues
And a little bit of recapper blues! I think your team is running ragged, but we are nothing if not dedicated. Here's a quick and dirty rundown of last night, condensed for space…
Pru is frantically searching for the cell phone, which Juana obligingly hands over. Thanks, Juana
Silvia is still recovering, and very well, and she's allowed to go home. Renato gets an eye- and ear-full of her giddily hugging Tomas, kissing him, and telling him that YES, she wants him to stay with her night and day, forever and ever. She also makes him promise not to go after Pru.

Do what you gotta do, bro La Sombra Del Pasado 119 (Mx 122) 08/03/2015
Hello my peeps, here is your recap!
When trying to bribe someone goes wrong:
Severiano is acting like a creeper and hiding in the shadows waiting for the , eh, what is he? Detective, ministerio publico, police officer? Sev tells the officer that he wants to know what he needs to do in order to get his gun back, the officer says it's simple: All he has to do is wait for Adriano's trail to be over. Sev says he would be willing to give the good officer a very good compensation for his help. The officer wants to know how much Sev is willing to pay and Sev says that that's up to him (the officer).

Officer: "Well, I can tell you're terrified that we will match the bullets found in Raymundo's body to your gun"
Sev:" No, that's not the case at all, that's just one more story made up by that crazy woman. I don't even think the bullets came from the body, who knows where she got them from, so what do you say, will you help me get back the gun?"
Officer: I'm sorry but your offer doesn't interest me Mr. Mendoza, in fact I don't have the gun any more, I recommend you try to bribe the judge, maybe you'll have better luck with him. Good night.
Sev is left with his mouth hanging open, it was AWESOME.

Lo Imperdonable #55 Mon 8/3/15 You won't have Crazy Marty to kick around anymore!
Crazy Marty has left the building.
In his stead, he has left Good Marty, the loving husband who checks his ego at the door and takes care of Vero's needs while expecting nothing in return. Well, almost nothing.
Good Marty promises Vero that he will take her to her family in Mexico as soon as she is well enough to travel. Vero listens silently. That's not enough for Marty. He wants to hear her say he has made her happy. She's glad, she says finally, looking absolutely miserable. She doesn't want to be a continuing burden to everyone – to Ana Perla, to Blanquita, and most of all, to him.
She asks him to leave her alone so she can go to sleep. But as soon as he is gone, she starts to cry. Has he finally taken her at her word? Has she driven him away? Even though getting free of Crazy Marty made perfect sense, she's not sure that divorcing Good Marty will make her happy.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #15 Lunes 8/3/15
Chapter
15: Another Game of Telephone
Maria
Dolores arrived at Max's office and told him off for thinking she was
pursuing Daniel for his money. She told him that Daniel had
misrepresented himself as a chauffeur while all the time he was the
spoiled son of the employing family. But that now his family was
broke. Max wasn't quite ready to believe that although he didn't
accuse Maria Dolores of lying. He knew Daniel was a player of some
kind. He then said he would talk to Maleny about this since she was
Daniel's sister. Maria Dolores' cell rang and she answered. It was
Esperanza, who told her about what happened to her shop. She told
her she would be right there. When she ended the call she almost
broke down. Max held her for a moment and asked if she wanted him to
take her to the police station to report it. She said “Thanks but
no thanks” and headed out the door.

I did combine some scenes.
Francis jumps into Diego’s car without an invitation...and refuses to leave. It seems she took a picture of an extra special page in Carmen’s diary. It describes Carmen’s perfect date. Francis thinks this is how Diego can win Carmen’s affections. ¡Ay de mí! I don’t trust her! Don’t listen Diego. But what if it’s legit info? You could still win Carmen’s affections! But is that fair to Feli? Please stop messing with my head, show! Diego does wonder if it’s really a page from Carmen’s diary. Francis thinks he should be able to recognize his beloved’s handwriting. She leaves the page with him and encourages him to read it and take advantage.

La Vecina-Highlights and Discussion #30-34 August 3-7
Some Housekeeping Notes
This is my last week of vacation before I go back to work full time August 10. From now on I will be scheduling a post for every Monday at 2PM EST.
I will have recaps this week, but I can't make any guarantees about the future until Amores con trampa ends. I'm not above shameless begging. Have you ever thought about recapping? This might be the perfect place to give it a try. It's a smaller "venue" and even if it's just highlights and jokes about Simon's rocket, you will have the eternal thanks of the patio. Even if it's just once or twice. You don't have to commit to a long time period. Week by week is fine. Piénsalo, ok? I'm sure we can make this work and keep it going.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Cap 14, Fri July 31, 2015- Puppy-Dog Eyes Dan is a Scumbag and Jacinto is Evil Sherlock Holmes or, If It Wasn’t For Bad Luck, Maria Delores Wouldn’t Have Any Luck
Recap by J desde NYC
Some scenes out of order, as per usual
Jacinto follows Daniel and takes pictures even as Ari watches him suspiciously and asks him whom he seeks. Sayeth Jacinto: “What does it matter to you?”
Max offers to help Honoria get Julian out of his prison jam. Honoria is grateful and tells him Fermin is out of his coma and ready to testify (declarar). Maria Delores shows up and even as Honoria gives her the stink-eye and tells her not to come visiting her son, MD insists on waiting in line to visit Julian, too. Max looks on with a combination of admiration for MD and sadness, clearly believing the lies perpetrated against our beleaguered protagonista.

Lo Imperdonable #53-54 Thu 7/30/15-Fri 7/31/15 We Are Stuck In A Rut It Seems
Greetings Everyone! I don't know what happened with Thurs recap but I have added a quick recap of what happened on Thurs as well as my regular Fri recap.
Thurs:
* Marty watches as Vero sleeps. She wakes up. "Good Morning, mi amor" he tells her. She tells him that she's not his "amor" anymore and she doesn't like it when she watches him sleep. (What would she think if she finds out he was kissing all over her while she was asleep) He tells her that he loves seeing her beautiful face in the morning. He gives her a flower that is her favorite. She doesn't want it. He promises that he'll bring her one every morning until she accepts it. (More on this later..)
* Botel is sad over seeing Magda so depressed. Botel blames himself. Dr. Del Rio tells Botel that he has to have patience. Botel hopes Dr. can help her. Dr. understand Botel's desperation. And yes, they do need to find something that makes Magda get out of her depression.
* A depressed Magda lays in her hotel bed. Cell phone rings. She doesn't answer.
* Ana Perla and Old Goat talk about Manuel. Old Goat is worried about him. Ana Perla is hurt by what happens to her brother. But she doens't want Old Goat to suffer over Manuel's crap. It pisses Ana Perla off that Manuel didn't change even after he was locked up. Ana Perla reminds the Old Goat that he has to take care of himself. He assures her that he'll be fine. She tells him that even though he seems grumpy he's a good man. She tells him that he worries about Manuel despite how rude he was with him and all the horrible things he said.
