Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 42 Wed 9/9/15 Highlights

Hello, I am just putting up highlights for this episode due to personal obligations. I will try to post something more tomorrow.


  • Dan dissapears to Holy Nowhere refusing to marry Ivana out of a newly found sense of care for MD. Ursula tries to bring him back but this only provokes Maly to laugh and cheer as if she was on a football game. Later Dan has been found sleeping in a hotel but supposedly the hosts don't respect  their customer's privacy cause Dan is brought home dead drunk .  Arango and Isidro had to make him ready for his downfall.

  • Isela unwillingly lets out that she actually likes sleeping with Bustamante but Josefa can never be happy and begins screaming, shouting and making aggressive taunts to Isela. If Isela ever betrays Josefa, the Heifer is sure to show her a slice of what  paradise looks like.

  • Ivana starts experiencing paranoia as she hears the screams of a baby just outside the doors( It turns out it was the servant's baby. At first she screams at him but later takes care of him. Ivana later get's dressed for the wedding with the shaved Gerry offering as her escort! ( He looks better when not shaved just to be honest.) . We later learn that Ivana is going to dump Dan at the altar, just like Dan dumped MD. Her cruel  plan of vengeance appears to be functioning.

  • Ursula and Arango were talking and we got a new twist for the night dun dun dun : They were NEVER in the ruin!! All was done for shit'z and giggles ( Well we did not get explicit details on the  how's and why's but it was mentioned by the somewhat nice looking Arango. Yes he looks better than Josefa.) 

  • Doris and Orlando inevitably begin budding even closer as Orlando sends her a serenade on phone which was planned by Max, Leo and Orlando ( Family Morales glees, Julian yawns  and Josefa pushes Isela back to her Room of  Hell in which she begins silently sobbing.).  Max had also given MD a very hot dress that made her look non-poor .

  • Everyone arrives at the wedding and not everyone is in their best nerves as Maly starts getting anxious about Max arriving with his seamstress GF so Claudio offers to clean it all up. MD herself is also not convinced if she should stay but Max promises her Sev's Heaven's AKA everything will be just fine.  Max and Dan almost get into a fight but it somehow get's interrupted when Claudio yells at  Max to talk with him.

Lo Imperdonable #82 Wed 9/9/15

Lo Nuevo
When we left AP and Pablo last night she was about to confess that she was pregnant but changes her mind. She begs him to leave and he does. Blanquita comes in and AP tells her that her heart is breaking because she will never see Pablo again. Outside, Pablo says he does not know what AP meant when she said that there was something that would link them together, yet pull them apart. He will investigate and find out the truth.

In Vero's bedroom Emi chooses the day of his wedding to Ginny to tell Vero that he never stopped loving her. That he wants to love and protect her. Seriously dude? Anyway, he asks for an opportunity, but Vero refuses, saying she has been left empty, she can never love again. He keeps insisting.

Amores con Trampa #117 and #118 Wednesday and Thursday 9/9/15 and 9/10/15

Amores con Trampa #117

This was a "just the facts" kind of night.

And so we start another night's story with Rocío chatting with Isabel in the Velasco's living room. Isabel says she overheard Rocío talking with her uncle Santiago and did not know she was still working with María. Rocío tells her about going to a meeting with Frederick. Isabel thanks her for confiding in her. Rocío hopes that things between the two of them just improve so they can be a happy family.

Florencio takes a seat at a table in a bar where all of his pals are drinking and playing cards. He is visibly upset and rattled as he pours himself a shot. He changes the topic of the conversation to the very stubborn Pantera. They all chime in with what they think of her: she is single and lonely. Florencio thinks she needs a man to tame her.

Rocío is on her way out and Alberto sneaks up on her on horseback. They chit chat and he calls himself a "salvaje ranchero" ( savage rancher). She tells him that that savage rancher has made her the happiest woman in the world. He wants her to get on the horse with him and go for a ride. She says okay as long as she gets to a meeting with Frederick in half an hour. No problem is Beto's response. The next thing you see is Beto and Rocío riding in a park. Rocío admits she gets antsy about making it to her work meeting.

Lo Imperdonable #81 Tue 9/8/15 Virginia gets revenge

For the record, Princess Juju and Eli are one and the same!

Here we go:

We pick up where we left off last night, crazy Marty corners Ginny and goes off on her, like it's her fault that he came up with a crazy plot to marry a woman to make her suffer- he seems to forget that that was ALL him. Anyhoo, Marty just gave Ginny the best wedding gift ever! Because if she's going down in flames, she's not going alone.

Marty stays behind in the garden and Ginny slithers back into the house, and she drops the bombshell, she tells Veronica that in the interest of honesty there's something she should know: Martin married her because he wanted revenge for Demetrio's death. He had decided to marry her before he even met her. Veronica throws the glass she was holding against the wall with such force that we know the depth of her anger. Marty is going to have a very bad night. Ginny pulls a Judas and kisses Vero on the cheek, then she strolls away, she's probably on her way to kill kittens and burn orphans.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #41 Tue 9/8/15: Hit The Road Jack! Or Something Like That


Max and Maria Doloris’s seriously dating has put a serious dent in the evening’s epicurean event.  Max’s parents tell Maria Doloris and family that they’re totally opposed to having Max become seriously involved with a scheming criminal like her.  Esperanza and Max both defend her and her daughters’ upbringing and fight the accusations once again as baseless.  They leave with their heads held high.  Max tells Alma and Claudio they had no right to humiliate decent people like that.  Claudio insists they’re not so decent, really. 

Claud goes off on Alma for not telling him ahead of time about their son.  She begs off saying if Maleny hadn’t just shown up with the news she might have had a chance.  He tells Leo and Clara that he’s not upset with their relationship and it can continue.  Clara says nope: love me, love my dog--and all its fleas.  Thanks but no thanks!

Doris drops by while Ari is dripping venomous veracities all around Orlando about Isela dumping him for her boss.  She snubs Ari who tries to make a dinner date with her.  She takes Orly by the hand and tells him he’s a turd for believing Ari’s trash talk instead of enjoying his honeymoon.  Ise spent the night at her place—NOT with her boss!

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #11 Tue 9/8/15 (Mex 13) Mistaken Identity

Ah, Fiorella, stop dreaming.  No, wait, don't stop dreaming, we need more swoony stuff!

"Gianna!  Why are you telling everyone we came from Italy?!"  Uh, she's kidding, right?  Gianna's proud of herself for making up a great story on the fly, but Fiorella instructs her in the fine art of lying…keep it simple!  They're just the daughter's of an old employee of Pedro's, that's all.  Simona comes in with a stack of bed linens and even some sleepwear, since they lost their luggage.  And a cute uniform for Fi, and some extra clothes, since she knew they wouldn't have any.  As she offers Fi dinner and says she'll bring some fruit and tea by later, Gianna is curling up on the bare mattress and has conked right out.  Simona thinks she and Fi will get along just fine!  Sure, as long as you don't push her over too hard!  I'm disappointed we won't see the attempt to get the bed made around the sleeping Gianna.

Lo Imperdonable #80 Mon 9/7/15 Virginia channels Lenny Bruce (Deny! Deny! Deny!)


Where we left off on Friday –
- Ana Perla has just shocked her family, though not the Patio, by falling in a dead faint. 
- Botel has called Virginia's bluff, offering an ambulance and a medical work-up for her latest attack of the vapors.
- All the extras have left the church.
- Unbeknownst to Salma, the priest has arranged for the food from the cancelled reception to be distributed to local soup kitchens. 

Now the new stuff – 
Salma worries that they may have made the wrong decision.  Is Botel sure that Virginia is going to be okay?  Botel is wearing his usual aggressively plaid shirt, so we know he's not a guy to mince words:  

Señora, si de verdad se sintiera muy mal, hubiera aceptado ir al hospital.
(Madam, if she really felt very ill, she would have agreed to go to the hospital.)

Virginia herself seems bored with that particular tragedy queen routine.  She already told them an ambulance wasn't necessary.  Sheesh!

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #10 Mon 9/7/15 (Mex 11-12) Fiorella, I love you!


Dante, on horseback, has poor Gianna at his mercy but we are made to go back inside the Big House at El Rancho Los Angeles (ERLA) to witness the aftermath of Eloisa’s dressing down of Sonia about her “convenient” miscarriage.

“You aren’t man enough to protect me from the witches in this family!”  screams Sonia as she confronts Osvaldo in their bedroom.  Osvaldo is decidedly not supportive, mimicking her manner of speech and even telling Sonia she asks for it!  Sonia sits down heavily on the bed and asks Osvaldo why he ever got interested in her.  Ah, don’t start, he replies.  Sonia deserves an answer:   she dropped her career for him!  He sees this differently as well:  SHE dropped her career because she got pregnant and even implies this was meant to entrap him.  Sonia splays her hands helplessly.  He died!  You remember how it happened!  He died.  Osvaldo finally seems to connect to Sonia’s pain and is silent.

Russian, one of Dante’s security dudes, has Gigi in his office.  Multi-display monitors show feeds from closed circuit cameras placed around the ranch.  Gigi is breathless and tearful as she tells Russian that Pedro asked her and her sister to come to Rancho Los Angeles.  Russian calls Dante on the walky talky and he orders Russian to hold her until the police arrive.  Gigi begs to be let go to find her sister.  She tells him she feels very badly and dizzy because of her illlness.  Russian doesn’t believe her and tells her to stop lying and complaining!

We cut briefly to a frantic Fiorella, crying and screaming Gianna’s name.  She is distraught:  they have her because she brought her here!

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #40 Lunes, 9/7/15


Chapter 40: Puppetmasters

Isela told Ho-sefa to forget the revenge. Claudio had terminated their relationship and her employment. He was going back to his wife and suggested that she marry Orlando. Ho-sefa couldn't believe her daughter would do this to her. Isela said she loved her but could not do what she demanded. She was going to marry Orlando because she loved him and wanted him to be the first man in her life. She should have said that ages ago. But Ho-sefa said she would take care of things. Isela realized that meant trouble.

Amores Con Trampa #115 and #116 Monday & Tuesday 9/7/15 and 9//8/16

Looks like Esteban is getting a little anvil action early. And dare I make a conjecture? Will Maria and Rocio save them all?

Maria tells Jacinto and Susana that she is going to forgive Facundo. They are thrilled.

Unfortunately, when Maria goes to meet with Facundo La Pantera has got him in a compromising position. It’s horse crap. No, literally. She stepped in horse crap. (I believe Fac later called it calabaza de caballo) He chases after Maria. He falls and gets run over by a burro.

Meanwhile in the DF, Rocio has returned. She had been staying at the boutique. Carmen, studying in the Carmona dining room sees the homecoming from the window. She runs right over to the Velascos and tells Rocio that Maria has left for the country and it’s all Rocio’s fault. Florencio decides maybe he and Isa better cancel the trip to his rancho.

Pelancha is glued to the set and tonight’s episode of AI3. The doorbell rings. Feli sarcastically tells her he’ll get the door, don’t get up. Clueless, Pelancha thanks him and tells him to be careful. There have been a lot of assaults in the neighborhood. It’s Francis. [There goes the Francis Free episode streak...Where is Diego?] Francis wants to go to the movies with Feli. The last thing Feli wants to do is go to the movies with Francis.

Jacinto and Susana are on a hunger strike because Maria didn’t get back together with Fac. Maria sends them off to their rooms. Humilde hears a car. Perpetua thinks maybe it’s Fac and Maria says not to let him in. It’s Carmen and Rocio. Rocio heard about Maria’s problems with Fac. She insists that none of this is Fac’s fault.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres 39 Fri 9/4/15: Lovin' "Em and Leavin' 'Em Ain't What It Used To Be

Parte 1~



Maleny sees the diamond heart necklace la lindita de Doris is swinging in front of windshield of Mal’s sports car.  “That locket is mine.  Where’d you get it?”  Doris teases Mal a bit longer and says “--I was all sweaty and stark naked one afternoon  when Ari gave it to me as thanks for giving him something you obviously couldn’t.”  Mal attempts to slap the crap outta Dori but she’s too quick for our favorite ritch b!tch.  Dori grabs Mal’s wrist with one hand and slaps the crap outta Mal instead. “—This is what you deserve for two-timing a man like Max!!”  Mal says she wasn’t dating Max at the time.  (Liar, liar, pants on fire!) “--And anyway, I doubt Ari did that; he wouldn't go to bed with you.  You'd give him the plague [also "curse", a smell/stink--your choice]!”   “—You’re trash, Maleny!” Doris says if I’d stayed quite before it was because of Orlando, but since anything goes now, I sure hope you don’t mind it when Max finds out that you were consoling yourself with Ari.  “—Open your mouth and you and Ari will be together—but together in the clink!”  Doris throws the necklace at Mal and starts off down the street, head held high.  (Viewerville does a quick end zone tippy toeing two-step.)

Lo Imperdonable #79 Fri 9/4/15 The Unveiling Of The Bride

Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone! 

Wow, what an episode!

We begin with Vero on the phone with Mati. Vero enlists Mati in "Plan Unmask (or in this case Unveil) Ginny" and wants her to gather up all the letters and photos. Vero wants to use them against Virginia and clear her own name. Mati is more than willing to help out. Vero warns her to be careful with Virginia because she's capable of the worse.

Over at the San Telmo offices, Marty is pouring out his heart to Botel. Marty was blinded by his desire for revenge and refused to listen to his heart. Now he doesn't know if Vero will forgive him. We now hear some wise advice from Botel "In order to find forgiveness, one has to forgive themselves." he tells Marty. "Will you be able to forgive yourself for causing Vero so much pain?" Botel asks Marty. "I don't know, you can't even imagine the pain that I feel for all that I have made her suffer, and now I don't know if I will lose her forever." Marty replies. 

"I see dead people."

At the PC mansion, Mati turns the corner of the hallway leading to Virginia's room and stops dead in her tracks when she sees the Viper herself standing at her door with Mariana. Mariana had been telling Virginia her plans about moving to Paris to get over Pablo dumping her. When Virginia notices Mati's presence, she rudely dismisses Mati telling her to get lost. Mariana leaves as she makes a rude face at Mati.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #9 Fri 9/4/15 (Mex 10) Strangers in Paradise?


Once she gets his dirty drift, Fifi tells Fabio off!  How dare he!  She wouldn’t go with him for a million Euros!  She makes him get up and leave her table!  Lordo! (Gross)  Maleducato!  (Rude)

Sergio and Julieta advocate for Roxana but Granny stands firm.  Roxana has gone too far: trying to seduce Gael, she dresses like a tramp; she made a drunken fool of herself in front of the prospective business associates and disrespects her in her own house! 

In an adjoining room, Federica, who helped fan the flames of this fire with the picture she posted of Gael helping Roxana with her button, suggests Gael go to defend Roxana.  Granny Eloisa likes a firm and decisive man, like  Pedro.  It will earn him brownie points!  Gael goes right to the task.  Granny ain’t having it and asks Gael if he has a cognitive disability:  No second chances!  Roxana is through.  Just then Roxana rolls into the living room with her suitcases and is still flippant until Granny tells her that her credit cards will be cancelled!  Roxana can’t believe it.  Granny doesn’t care and wishes her luck in her new life.  Maybe she can get a job being a stripper!  This finally wipes the smirk off Roxy’s face.  Gael, Sergio, Osvaldo, Sonia and Julieta look on helplessly as Roxy leaves.  Sergio thinks they should’ve tried harder.

Lo Imperdonable #78 (Tel #79) Thu 9/3/15 The big reveal in 3...2...1.... but why does it all have to be so random?



A little bit of what happened yesterday
Jorge is dividing his fortune, giving Emi the biggest portion, because he will be in charge of the company, too. Veronica refuses to take any money, but Jorge won’t hear of it. After the men leave, Virginia attacks Veronica, accusing her of being after the money – why else would she accept, if she already has a gold mine? Vero gives back as good as she receives, but poor Virginia doesn’t have a rich husband, so she’s only looking after herself. Salma defends Virginia, obviously, and Vero warns her that she will one day be sorry to have protected this alacran (scorpion).
They continue to exchange insults until Jorge comes back to invite everyone (and Martin) to lunch. Vero has to pass, though, she and hubby are leaving for Cancun, for their belated honeymoon.

At the hospital Pablo and his mom talk about his therapy. She wants to know as much as possible about the treatments, so she can help. Pablo is still holding onto AP’s ring, he misses her every day and dreams about her every night. And no, he can’t resign himself – that would be worse than death. Mom thinks that AP’s family will never forgive him, and neither will AP, because he lied to her and who can blame AP under the circumstances?

 I'm going to skip the old and get to the new, but let me just add that if  anyone called my significant other "incompetent and mediocre", well, let's just say someone would be in need of some serious medical care.

Fifi gets bad news:

The doctor at the hospital has informed her that Gigi must get proper medical care, she needs to continue with her treatment and she needs to live some where calm, with fresh air- if Fifi does not take decisive action Gigi will die! Fifi has no money to take Gigi anywhere but the doctor tells her she must act!

Yo no Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 37 Wed 9/2/15

Attention: Due to me returning to school my writing schedule may change. Sometimes I may just put up highlights or a discussion page. The school year is just 4 months long ( So it ends around January)  but in exchange there is more pressure put on us.  Now without further ado :

(Some scenes may have been merged out of context.)

We return back to the glorious Max&MD kiss but this time there no bags dropped.  MD refuses the kiss due to her doubts about being pregnant with Dan.  Max says that there is absolutely no problem with that because he loves everything about her.


Speaking about  slimes Ursula thanks the almost drunk Dan about accepting Arango to work with Dan as his assistant in the company.  But that is going to be hard with Ivana floating around and for no reason can she learn the truth.  Dan believes that just a simple apology could solve their problem but Ursula correctes him quickly that this just ain't gonna work Slimeboy!  Dan says that he doesn't have any other choice   but Ursula proposes him to make MD pregnant and take her baby but make no mistake, I did not say that you lovebirds could get back together.  With this the family will salvage itself  from adopted outsiders and keep the fortune in blood.

Claudio  sat in the bedroom somewhat disturbed thus Alma comes for disaster control. Claudio tells her that he and Max will support Orlando during the investigation. Alma is pithed because now Leo will return to that nasty town once again OH NO! She also cannot believe that Claudio is inviting these same folks for dinner when she has heard Julian mentioning the provoked accident. Claudio calms her down saying that the investigators will dig out the needle out of heifers and Leo is now working in his office anyway.  This is  the  last time they are hosting a dinner for the poor folks says Claudio ( As the recapper waves his head around in a loud "Nah". Lesson: Do not trust any promises or deals until the Fin rolls.)

Dan laughs at his mommy dearest for believing that MD would let it all happen without a fight. And he doubts that Ivana would accept it as he pleads Claudia, the maid for a new bottle to waste ( Let's hope it has anthrax in it. Not the rat poison because Dan is most likely has  an immunity to it) . Ursula thinks otherwise, many women raise kids that are out of marriage and Ivana is no different.
The same Ivana is observing a cradle that was supposed to fit her now aborted child and begins sobbing uncontrollably as Susana is watching close by . Ivana at least did not break the cradle, that would be a darn shame.



Claudio has apparently phoned Isela but he has to go now cause ya know my wife is waiting for me in bed Yack! Isela tells him to  take care.  Josefa is hearing it all by laughing with her tongue of dirt and seems to be proud over Isela's charming prowess because now Claudio 's interest in her widened over just being bed company.  Isela agrees but it almost fell apart due to Julian nicking in her buisness but she has fixed that. But too darn bad that Claudio did not fire him because his sons would riot on the streets "Injustice!, Injustice!, Injustice!" .  Isela will also have to support seeing Leo at work but Josefa tells her that it aint so bad because with her charm Isela could beg Claudio to fire her and buy her a nice new apartment! Isela doubts it because if Claudio discovers that Josefa was behind Leo's accident , there will be no benefits for Josefa other than a cold fridge.


Speaking of Julian, he has just had his fancy dinner with Jenny. She tries to comfy all up but instead they have a cute dance.  I couldn't get much what Julian was saying but he still treats Jenny as a friend. A morning later he goes out to work but not before Vermin taunting him that he may have done something else than dining. Plus MD and Max were a bit busy last night. Honoria says that MD was just paying Max for his services.

In Case You Missed Last Night...
Marty, Vero, Maggie and Botel say their goodbyes at the door of the hotel. Vero tells Marty she loves that he is taking her on a trip for their honeymoon and thanks him for making her so happy. They kiss and Marty goes to get the car while Vero waits at the entrance. At the hospital AP tells Eleazar that if she had known who he was she wouldn't have told him all her troubles. He tells her that his intension was just to help her. Pablo sees them talking and watches them walk down the hallway with Gramps. He tells his mother that he needs to find out who that guy is. She tells him to concentrate on his recovery and how his life will change if he regains movement in his hand. Pablo says yes, but his life will change even more if he looses AP and it wouldn't matter if he could paint again or not.

Amores con trampa Capítulo #112 9/2/15

We start with the bellowing Facundo wanting to talk to Perpétua. She is not too happy with him having left Porfirio behind in San Bartolo el Chico. He wants to know if María is still angry with him. María sure is not only because of what he did to Beto but also he offended her with his accusations about Florencio. Facundo wants Perpétua to put in a good word for him with María. Nope.He then does a Carmen imitation begging her with the "por fa, por fa" routine. Perpétua tells him María has every right to feel like she does and covers her ears.

At the same time next door Isabel is doing her own "poor favor" begging at her bedroom door where Santiago is locked inside just stewing. He won't let her in. She doesn't know what she did.

Amores con trampa: a message for the patio

This is a message for my fellow viewers on the patio. Your fellow viewer Jarifa is going to try her hand tonight as a "regular" (as compared to itinerant?) recapper, so to speak, by posting her own recap. After three years on the patio, I have decided to take the plunge. Sara has been instrumental in this decision by giving me the opportunity to try out recapping with this telenovela for which I am grateful. She has been a wonderful mentor. At this time I do not know when the recap will be up since it will be posted in its entirety. It could be tomorrow morning. I am not tech savvy at all so much of this posting "stuff" is new to me. I look forward to to seeing you all on the patio for tonight's episode.

Bullets cause it's been a long week!


  • Ana Perla continues to cry over Pablo, Pablo's mom tells her that her son had broken up with Mariana but that Mariana won't listen and continues to stalk Pablo.
  • Ana Perla and Pablo talk, he says they can still marry, hell, the hospital has a chapel and they can marry there but AP has a flash back to Manuel saying he would kill Pablo and tells him that she wants nothing more to do with him. Ummm, there's a simple solution to this: Send Manuel to prison!
  • Salma finds out that Maggie is Veronica's mother, later she learns from Jorge everything that Maggie went through and she feels like a jerk for saying awful things to Maggie, she vows to apologize.
  • Jorge asks Veronica to take the money he is offering, Vero says she's a partner in the goldmine, she still has the money he gave her when she married and she has an education, she can make a decent living and have a good life, but Jorge insists- she's his daughter and will get the portion she deserves, which leads to:

Watching the ep now, will post recap when finished. It also occurs to me that I never did get around to doing a recap for ep #26 either, so I'll do that over Labor Day weekend. Use this space to discuss in the meantime.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #6 Tue 9/1/15 Dear Diary

Pedro hears the neighbors saying that Tania jumped and wondering if it was because of the soccer player.  He remembers Tania saying that if he rejected her and the (fake) baby, she would die of sadness.  Fiorella looks around and sees him.  In a flash, Fidel has dragged Pedro back towards the car.  Diana finally arrives and Adela tries to keep her from looking.  Fiorella cries that Signorina Tania was so in love with Signore Pietro.  Across the street, Fidel comforts Pedro, saying [HISTORY ALERT!] he knows this reminds Pedro of his mother.  Fidel says he'll find out what's going on, but it's not good for the family or Eloisa to find out.  Diana finally approaches the body and says Tania's boyfriend must have rejected her again--she always wanted more and more from him. But he could never give her what she needed.  Fidel gives Pedro the car keys and insists he get out of there.  Fidel will stay in case someone needs help.  Fiorella cries that Pedro has a heart of stone. "How could he be so cruel to the woman who loved him?"

Lo Imperdonable #75 Mon 8/31/15 The Hero, the Reunion, and the Mouse That Roared


The optimists in Mina Escondida are betting that Manuel is a goner.  Uspín, however, is sure the mutt is going to live.  Mala hierba nunca muere, he says.  (Weeds never die.)

And it looks like he's right.   At the Hospital Ce_ter, Manny has regained consciousness.  He's weak, he's pale and he's full of hate.  He tells Ana Perla he'll only spare Pablo's life if she stays away from him forever.

Meanwhile Marty guides his motorcycle to the curb in front of the Disgusting Boys' hotel and pulls out his walkie-talkie.  Inside the building, Aarón leads Verónica to the room where Clemente has been keeping watch over Magdalena.  Vero rushes to her.  And now mother and daughter are both prisoners of the Disgusting Brothers!  Fortunately, Verónica's hair looks fabulous.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #35 Lunes 8/31/15



Chapter 35: Seeds of Suspicion

Doris had just finished telling Ari off about his “girlfriend” and shoved him off just as Max arrived. He came to the neighborhood to talk to Maria Dolores, but she put him off. He saw what looked like a party. “It's very important, about a lifelong friend,” she said. He backed off, telling her he would see her later because it was very important. She turned back to Doris, who was crying.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #5 Mon 8/31/15 Tania takes a trip and Pedro takes the Guilt or I'll fly Away!

Hey, everyone!  I’m going to try to be brief, but hopefully thorough.  Some scenes have been combined.

Pedro makes it clear to Tania that he is NOT pleased that she hired Fifi who is in the foreground busily mopping the floor.  How could she trust a perfect stranger in her home!Their situation is “delicate” and needs to be handled with absolute discretion!  Tania sends Fifi to tidy up her bedroom so she and Pedro can talk in private.

Fifi trots off happily enough but the privacy part is a fail as she blatantly listens just inside Tania’s bedroom as the discussion between Tania and Pedro ramps up.  Pedro is concerned that Tania has told Fifi too much about them and he doesn’t like it one little bit.  Tania thinks Fifi is sweet and charming and she needs her.  Noting Tania’s demeanor Pedro checks the liquor cabinet and then her breath and goes ballistic:  she’s drunk again!  Pedro lights into Tania for falling into the same vices again!  We’ve just met these two but any of y’all can fill in the blanks:  she feels hurt by his rejection of her and refusal to introduce her to the family.  She knows his family is conservative and she makes everything so hard by refusing to change!  Right now the family is at a difficult and important crossroads; the reading of the will!  Oh, that’s just an excuse!  It is not!  Tania thinks the reading of the will would be a perfect time for her to meet his family!

Amores con trampa #110 and #111 8/31 and 9/1 Monday and Tuesday

I'm super pooped tonight and I've managed to hurt my shoulder...in my sleep. Typing seems to be making it worse. This is going to be pretty short, combined and crappy.

Rocio is in new clothes (I like it!) and is packing to leave. Santi helps with the suitcase. They begin the tearful goodbye. Rocio promises to always stay in touch. She's ready to go.

The twins waste water filling water balloons. Jacinto reminds them that they said at home they would conserve water. They remind him they are at school. They give him a good dosing.

Fac and La Pantera (RAWR) finalize the sale of her rancho. She asks him out for drinks.

Beto is in mope mode. He erased all of Rocio's pictures from his phone, but her memory is crystal clear in in mind.

Lo Imperdonable #74 Fri 8/28/15 A Family Reunion

No Mauricio for you tonight.

 He’s taking a well-deserved day off and I appreciate the opportunity he has given me to try my hand at recapping after a rather long layoff,  so for tonight I’ll be your guide through this morass. Settle in, have a complimentary gin and tonic, and let’s spend an hour together as we enjoy watching other people suffer. I promise, no baby seals will be harmed.

What better way to begin than with Nanciyaga counseling and consoling Julio? Something for everyone. He’s fretting and regretting his strong feelings for Ana Perla. Nanci understands, she’s experiencing a similar situation with her patrón, Martín. He wants to forget her, but Nanci assures Julio that hope is like a weed growing by the river, it never dies, it thrives. Well whatever, Julio is pretty gloomy (agüítado) about the whole thing (how the heck does this bumpkin know a word like that?). Nevertheless, Nanciyaga ain’t giving up on her patrón. She’s gonna defy the stars (and presumably those pesky snails as well). “Patron belongs to me… only me.”

"Bippity Boppity Boo"

Ummm, OK, Nanci, as long as you have that machete, I’m not going to argue.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #34 Fri 8/28/15

We start with where we left off yesterday, Isela making the moves on weak old man Claudio, Ivana making the biggest error of her life and Max and Jerry rushing to the Quernavaca house to save the day. At the same time, Alma is reassuring Maleny that she and Claudio will do whatever they can to get her and Max back together.

Now for the good stuff...

Ivana passes out at the pool’s edge and Ursela, Dan, and Arango just stand their staring at her while the doctor and the butler act as if they care. Dr Medina feels her pulse and says they need to get her to a hospital, Ursela dismisses the butler, and they all just stand there discussing what to do. Ursela is clearly in charge, she tells the doctor that they will do nothing to save her. In fact, Ursela rolls her over into the pool. Dr Medina shows us that he actually does have some ethics and jumps in to get her out. Right then, the butler comes running over to tell them that Jerry and Max have arrived. This puts Dan in a compromising situation, so in order to not look like the uncaring moneygrubbing husband that he is, he jumps into the pool too to help the doctor. Jerry and Max will save the day!!!
But wait, Arango runs out to the gate and tells Jerry and Max that they took Ivana to the hospital and quickly leaves with them.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #4 Fri 8/28/15 Muchacha Italiana viene a seguirme!

Greetings!  Ciao, Muchacha Patio Peeps to my inaugural MIVAC recap!  Yaaay!  Let's hit it!

Giana has collapsed in the lobby of the hospital while Fiorella screams for help!    Adela and Ray, Benito’s parents and perhaps on the maintenance staff of the building where they live, are at the hospital having tended to Ray’s sprained foot and they witness this pitiable scene.  Adela intervenes with the cold receptionist and demands a Dr. be found to attend to Gianna right away!  They will pay the bill.  A Dr. and Nurse rush out with a stretcher and load Gianna on.  Adela encourages Fiorella to accompany her sister!

We zip across town where Pedro is on the phone with Eloisa, his Grandmother and long-suffering Matriarch.  She scolds Pedro about holding up the reading of the will.  She is inpatient to get it underway because she wants this pack of greedy hyenas out of her house.  Pedro informs Eloisa that her beloved grandson, Osvaldo, has complicated the negotiations with the Italians.  Ah, she always said Osvaldo was a good for nothing!  Pedro will take care of cleaning up Osvaldo’s mess and contact the law office to read the will the following day.  Good, because Eloisa doesn’t want those vultures hanging around her another day!

The vultures yip and yap at each other at the table.  Present are Federica, Osvaldo, Sonia, Gael and Roxanne.  Roxanne takes exception with Gael referring to the maid attending the table as Simoncita and wonders if he does this because he feels inferior.  Well, if she would come to his bed he would show her there’s nothing inferior about him!  Osvaldo wonders if Federica wants to tell them something about the inheritance. . .when Sergio sweeps in and sweetly flatters the blushing Simona, asking her to please heat his food.  Now it’s time for Sonia to complain about Sergio directing his seductive powers at a "mere" maid.  Sergio turns it back on her:  it’s not his fault that she chose the wrong man as her spouse.  Osvaldo thinks Sergio would put his energies to better use in getting Pedro to the ranch already so the will can be read.  Sergio shuts them up.  If not for Pedro, they wouldn’t be drinking fine French wine, but tap water, and thanks to Pedro, the family business is not bankrupt!   Salud!  The vultures can’t help but drink to that!

Amores con Trampa #109 Aug 28 2015: Dona Tomasita is back from WHEREVER... and Pantera meets Facu and starts her 'vengeance'... Rocio says her goodbyes

Beto tells Rocio he is discouraged of her, tells her to go ahead and pack her bags and get outa Dodge.
San Bartolo:  Porfirio asks his former wife for explanations for her fleeing.  Facu wants to know too.  She claims it was because Porfirio was unfaithful to her.
Lo Nuevo:
Facu is in disbelief… he knows Porfirio… She says Humilde had told her all about the other woman in Porfirio’s life. THAT is why I left! Because you betrayed me!!! (Facu is in full waterworks mode).  …   … So apparently Facu’s mom had been tricked/deceived into thinking Porfirio had been unfaithful to her. Yada yada…
Santee… he is reminiscing on Facu as a neighbor… who would have known that a country farmer had more integrity than most… never passed invoice on the 40 million pesos Santee owed him. How could he get those high profits from the Japanese investors?? I will pay him… even if it’s the last thing I do in my life I will pay him.  
Back to San B… Facu has heard enough… he is really ansi so he gets Porfirio’s blessing and his  mom’s too… and gets out of the room.  Porfirio assures his ex wife that his son and his grandchildren are the most sacred thing he had in life… Swears that ‘that woman’ was not his lover. (Billy Jean??)  (I have a vision of Porfirio doing the moon dance with white gloves and silver shoes)…  Porfirio explains that he was visiting Lucia often at that time because she was dying and he was helping her to get her paperwork in order before she passed.  HE kept on visiting Lucia until she died.   (his former wife is finally getting a reality check)… Porfirio proudly questions how could he even think of putting his family and the only woman he ever loved and continues to l…. (cuts himself short) in jeopardy!!  She apologizes. She claims she was made to believe that the man she loved deeply had been unfaithful to her. Forgive me. Forgive me.   (he pulls her up to her feet and kisses her)…  Sweeeeet (and I never thought I would see Don Ignacio kissing anyone in the mouth)…
At Carmona hall… Diego convinces Maria to let him in all the way to Carmen’s room… Carmen whines to her mom that she should not have let Diego in all the way before alerting Carmen of his visit.  Maria tells Diego that Carmen has not been eating… Diego tells her ‘I know you are stubborn….. well… persistent!’  but you also have to eat.  Carmen insists that she has to study. An 8 is not enough for her anymore. She will get a 10 in every subject!   She wants them to leave her alone, she needs to study.   (she is taking selfies the second they leave and she shuts the door behind them… )

Desperately Seeking a Recapper

Patio peeps, sadly we lost a recapper on the Imperdonable team so we have an open spot for Wednesday nights, I would continue to write the recaps myself but I'm committed to MIVC on the same night and can't do two recaps in one night, plus I also have my regular spot on Tuesday night's, that's three recaps in two days!

This is where you come in! If you would like to recap you can have the Wednesday night spot! We can't offer much in the way of compensation, but we might be able to throw in some gold, because Novela Maven knows a guy that knows a guy, some good company on the patio and the opportunity to have first dibs when the new Salinas/Colunga novela rolls in later this fall.

Oh yes, you heard that right. Salinas, and Colunga sharing the same space! You dear potential recapper have a shot of getting on that recapping team if you join us on the LI team.

Please let us know as we really, really,really need the help!

*Discalimer, we really can't offer gold but we do have Salinas and Colunga, which some would argue are better than gold, especially Colunga when he takes his shirt off!*

Yo no Creo En Los Hombres, Cap 33, Thu 08-27-15: In which Maleny is BSC and Ursula is colder than ice

Footsteps fall on the parquet floor, muffled only by the Persian rug the mystery man skirts in approaching the door. He opens it to reveal his lover, posed seductively, reclining on the sofa and waiting for him. She is not the mystery: he is. And he is…Ari. (Yes!) and he is clearly out of sorts. Upset about Doris, he strips and prepares to seek oblivion in the skinny arms of his lover…

But wait a minute, what about Max. He’s in his own bedroom and someone has strewn rose petals all over the bed. Who? And why?

Lo Imperdonable #73 (Tel #74) Thu 8/27/15 How many times do the bad guys have to win??



I glossed over some of the useless chit chat and some of the scenes will be out of order. 


Emiliano is upset because Salma and Virginia don’t want Veronica getting any of Jorge’s money. Virginia thinks that Vero doesn’t need it, she already has a rich husband. Emi is upset to be reminded of Martin, yet again and Virginia is bothered by his reaction – is he still in luuv with Veronica, even if he proposed to her?
Emi insists that they should all accept Jorge’s decision and he feels completely disappointed with Virginia’s reaction.
They go back and forth on this several times, with Salma adding her piece of venom, too, until Emi decides to storm off, tired by the women's negative yapping. Virginia runs after him, leaving Salma  crying - boohooo - and here comes Nico to comfort her. He’s sure everything will be OK, they are such a great family and both Emi and Jorge adore her. Salma is worried because her fights with Jorge over Veronica have become even more heated then before. Nico gives her an awfully big and warm hug (Cougar alert), managing to relax her. She wants to go talk to Jorge but Nico tells her that he is already in a plane back to Mexico.

At the hospital in the city, Daniel tells Crescencio that Manuel will survive, but he still needs a long treatment and there is no saying how long it will be before he can move. Crescencio is determined to help his grandson no matter what.
Mariana overhears the prognosis on Manuel and later tells Daniel that she needs his help to move Pablo to another hospital.
Because of course that Pablo is in the same place and he needs an expensive operation to fix his hand. Mariana is more than willing to pay for it, even after Pablo reminds him that they’re not as close as they used to be. They see Crescencio and he sees them, too. They don’t speak, but nobody is happy with the reunion.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #3 Thu 8/27/15 Volare Woe Woe

Sorry. I just have to link to a video of Domenico Modugno's performance of Volare on the Ed Sullivan show.

Heck, let's throw in Dean Martin for good measure.

Fiorella has accepted Vittorio Dragone's e-mail marriage proposal. Vittorio is over the moon! His whoops of joy are heard across the restaurant (La Dolce Vita by name) and Benito comes running. Vito is so happy! He's always wanted to marry an nice Italian girl! Benito suggests that Vittorio ask Fiorella to come to the clinic to meet him. Vittorio is confused by this, but Benito kindly explains that Vittorio will need to check himself into a botox clinic in order to look like the foto he sent to Fiorella. Benito thinks he should slow down, but the old man has already taken care of everything. And Benito called Vito a vetusto! HA! He's got a young bride winging her way to Mexico right now! Vito invites Benito to the wedding. He tells him to dress as a page and have expensive rings. Ok, I don't remember, did Benito say something in episodes 1 or 2 to the effect of "if this girl agrees to marry you I'll dress like an idiot at the wedding"?

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #2 Wed 8/26/15 Tania has a bad day

Hi patio peeps, I'm so happy to see so many old and new friends on the patio! Please feel free to join the discussion and if you can I'd love to see everyone pick a name for our discussions on the patio (aka, the comments section) it's always much nicer to call someone "Bob" instead of Anon, you know what I mean? Anyhoo, below you'll find your recap, I'm still trying to figure out the characters names so forgive me and correct me if you catch me making a mistake!

We start with Pedro who is a total kill joy! Tania wants to hang out and chill but Pedro tells her he came to Italy to work and he can't miss  his meetings, she wants them to grab dinner together but he tells her he has to think about it, all in all he's not all that nice to her and the seed of dislike starts to grow in this recapper.

Hi peeps, you get me AGAIN! As always I encourage ready participation, I apologize for the quick recap but I have to work on another recap and can't spend too much time on either! I'm glad to report that i did not need beer to get through this episode, my liver is a happy liver!

We are going to the big city:

AP wants to go to Mexico to look after her brother and the OG, but Raymunda does not want her to go, the city is full of bad people, just look at what the outsiders have done in town. Blanca volunteers to go with AP but Raymunda is dead set against it. Ugh, she annoys me. Any way poor Pablo gets thrown under the bus, Raymunda says that poor Manuel was probably just defending himself from Pablo and that Pablo shot him and then ran away like a coward. Blanca tells her that Pablo was not the one who was always armed and looking for fights, but Manuel has always been a violent snot (I added that part in). Veronica and Marty are going to Mexico so that Veronica can get more information about her past from Jorge and offer to take AP with them.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 32 Wed 8/26/15- A fresh look of despair

(Some scenes were merged out of context)



MD comes in the garage to ask Orlando what happened with Isela. Orlando who has  the Virgin Mary Cross on him  at first denies but later admits that Isela got abused.  But out of a sudden a distant shadowy figure lurks  ready to spill her tongue  "My daughter was not abused, she slept with a guy from happiness".  Shocks and screams ensue from Orlando and MD only for the Heifer to repeat it again "She is just playing you for a prince while screwing the rich guy for fortune. You will see soon enough just how right I am !" . Orlando tells her to piss off and later he  does some smacks on the poor brick wall ( Will his cross soon transform him into  the Devil's incarnate?)

Ursula is assuring to Doc Medina ( The one taking care of Ivana. He refused to help Ursula out.) that he should help Ursula out just like Claudio has done  less Good Doc wants to stay without his job. Arango smirks at the situation and sips a drink.

Claudio now in the hospital does not agree with Dan taking away Ivana from medical care but stupid Alma thinks that Ivana will be just fine in Ursula's Hell Care.  They later take Leo home into his beautifully decorated room by Clara but organized by Max.  Leo is very happy at the sight. Claudio wants to thank Clara for caring so much. The family has a short term happy-time and we all know that is not a good sign.

MD calls Isela to inform her that Orlando did not fall for the lies ala everything is just fine. But MD still asks Isela if she has an affair with Claudio. We later see that conversation cut for no utter reason.  Now MD and Doris are discussing how to get rid of dirt on a dress all while Doris grabs a chocolate. Espy wonders what's up with Doris . MD just says that she is feeling bad about Ari .  MD also believes that Ari is cheating on Doris with Maly.

Lo Imperdonable #71 Tue 8/25/15 Ha,ha you got shot

Morning patio peeps, this will be a quick recap but I think I'll be able to cover everything! I ask once again that peeps post with a name rather than Anonymous (cause I like knowing who I'm talking to) and as always reader participation is highly encouraged!

Note: Recap might be out of order just to allow me to get through the process faster.

Charming info out of the assistant:

So Aaron continues his plan to get information on Veronica from Jorge's assistant, and it works! From her he learns that Veronica was adopted by the Prado-Castellos, that everyone knows she's adopted and that her parents were not hot stuff, her father was an awful drunk and her mother abandoned her to run off with her lover.

Again, how do people know so much about Veronica's past when no one ever talked to Magadalena or Aaron? And even if Jorge was aware of Veronica's parents past I doubt he would have shared this information with people outside of the family. Whatever, I'll roll with it. Aaron also learns that Vero is a good egg.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #31 Tue 8/25/15: Just A Marriage Investment


Ursula wants to know how Maleny got the money back from her playboy tennis coach.  Mal says matter of factly that she simply threatened him.  Ma says she had a hard time believing it when Arango told her as much.  Mal dismisses that and gripes that Ma didn’t lift a finger to stop her from shooting herself in the head.  Must be that Mama’s always loved her brother more.  Of course Daddy loved Mal more but since he’s been dead all these years…..So, she’s getting Max back now because he’s the closest to a man like Daddy that she knows.

Across town, Max and Maria Dolores end The Kiss.  Didn’t she like it?  Sure, but she’s damaged goods right now.  Ok.  He understands but wants a chance once she’s back in circulation.  MD says fine cuz who wouldn’t feel honored to have a man like Max seriously interested in her.
Daniel’s still with Ivana at the hospital lying to her about their having as many kids as she’d like once she is feeling better and they get hitched.

Back at the barrio, Max is now on the phone with Mal telling her that Honoria and family refuse to accept her “reparations”.  She says sweetly that he’s got to make them understand how badly she feels about the other night and to accept her offer.  He says he’ll try and hangs up.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #1 Tue 8/25/15 Ciao!

Oh, just look at all that beautiful blue water!  We're in Maratea, Italy, complete with lovely stucco houses with orange/red roofs.  Livia Brito in a wedding dress rides down a narrow street perched in the sunroof of a tiny blue car, waving happily.

Voiceover: Fiorella is my elder daughter.  I don't know a sweeter, more lively girl.  Everything is a party for her.  She always has a song on her lips and her eyes shine (resplandecen) with light.  She lights up the world with every step she takes and she makes everyone who knows her smile, no matter how bitter they might be.  But no one could be unhappy at her side, because Fiorella is like a spring breeze, a tree full of flowers, a laugh bubbling under the surface (a flor de piel)--a bellissima muchacha italiana (beautiful Italian girl)--full of life, who dreams of marrying and being very happy at the side of the man she loves.

In which: 
Ana Perla Cries,

Manuel Triumphs 
And Pablo is Trounced.
  
Manny can hardly contain his glee as he tells the Old Goat all about Pablo and Mariana.  "They were together for years," he says softly.  "He was just having a good time with my poor sister."  And (as Mauricio astutely noted on Friday) the Old Goat doesn't take the news well.  He sinks down in his chair and gasps.  Manny smirks.

A loud, drunken Mariana ambushes Pablo outside his hotel room.  She tells him that since he wouldn't listen to her, she found someone who would... Marcial or Macario... she can't remember.  Fending off her advances, Pablo leads her to her room.

La Sombra del Pasado #134, 08/24/2015 (Mx 136 Part 2): The End of Our Tale

My patio peeps! We've made it to the end, woohoo! Before I start my recap I'd like to thank you all for making this so much fun. My teammates have been the best and I'm honored that they let me join them on this trip. Diva, Lila, Sara and Kris, you are the best team members that a girl could ever hope to have!

Now to the recap!

Ladies, gentlemen, here's a sight no one ever thought they'd see: Candela is on her knees, crying and praying for Aldonza's safe return, she also prays for Cristobal- she prays for him not to kill his father because that's a crime that would follow him around forever. Then, she wipes her tears and a look of defiance takes over, it looks like she's decided that she must take action, more on this shortly.

Cristobal and Padre J are still searching for Aldonza, they ride off to meet up with Mel and the rest of the search party.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #30 Mon 8/24/15: Discussion Page

Urban Anthropologist has computer problems and asked for a discussion page and highlites if anybody can throw a few up.  If she can manage a recap we'll post it later on.  

Thanks to ViviDC:

 Part 1:

- Maleny's got a new hairstyle and a new attitude. She first goes to Ari and pressures him to give back every cent of the money her mama and Arango paid him to break things off with her. She doesn't have Max anymore and has nothing to lose now, so she threatens to accuse him of sexual harassment at the club if he doesn't comply.

- Ari folds, and has to ask Doris for the money back. He lies and says he's loaning the money to Orlando to pay for Leo's medical bills and his planned wedding with Isela. Doris breaks the news to MD, who now wants to go into business together. MD doesn't care. They can make it work and still be partners, even though Doris doesn't have money to invest right now.

- Maleny continues on her new tough attitude. She gives Arango a check to cover Ari's bribe money, and lets him know she is NOT as stupid as they think. Even in her drunken, hysterical state the night before and the night Arango picked her up from the club, she picked up on the non-boss-employee vibe between her him and her mother, and she knows their hiding secrets.

- Maleny then has a truck of new quesadilla stand supplies sent over to Honoria, much to Hon's, Fermin's, and Julian's shock.

- Esperanza is trying to forbid Clara from continuing her relationship with Leo. Clara is having NONE of that, and can't believe she and Leo are getting all this crap, when MD is about to get back together with that lying cheat, Dan. MD defends Clara and Leo's relationship to Espy. She then goes to the hospital and lobbies for Alma to leave the kids alone. Max overhears, and thinks MD has misinterpreted Leo's restrictions on visitors by the doctors as Alma being against the teen lovers. MD looks at Alma and tells Max to get clarification from his mama. Max once again tries to warn MD off Dan and says he'll be there for her. But she tells him to keep his distance, per his mama's orders.

- Max chews Alma out about her not trusting him, and betraying his trust by telling Maleny about his feelings for MD. He says he's lost his trust in her. Alma becomes distraught. Max and Leo also get suspicious when they see she called Clara's house from Leo's phone.

- To try to fix things, Alma allows Leo visitors from the hood-- Orlando, Julian, and a very happy Clara. The novios smooch happily. Alma leaves the room quietly. 
===================================

Part 2:

- Claudio calls Isela in the office and tells her he's staying with his WIFE and SON in the hospital and won't be coming in to work. Having earlier been taunted by Josefa that she couldn't be that great in bed, if Claudio wasn't trying to get her back IN bed, Isela is obviously upset he's being so distant. She stabs some papers on Claudio's desk as she says farewell, and looks up to see Maleny watching her with a very knowing look. They threaten each other to not meddle in each other's business. Isela won't reveal what she knows about Maleny and Ari, if Maleny doesn't mess with her.

- Alma has overheard Leo tells Orlando, Julian and Clara that he remembers perfectly that he raised the car onto bricks. They don't understand, since the bricks were to the side of the car. They think Leo must be mistaken, but he's certain. Alma gasps to herself, now certain that someone tried to KILL Leo. She's right, but this only makes her more determined to keep Max and Leo away from the folks in that hood. She doesn't understand why Claudio offers to lend Julian office spaces next to his own (as compensation for saving Leo), but he's certain he will be able to get Julian's help in convincing Leo to distance himself from the hood, and eventually Clara.

- Ivana's showdown with Susana ends in stalemate. Susana does back down when Ivana threatens to limit her access to money and luxuries to mere crumbs.

- Meanwhile, Dan and Ursula try to figure out Ivana's game in keeping the miscarriage from him. They decide Ivana still wants to marry him, but wants to get revenge on him in some way. Dan goes to see her the next day, confronts her about the miscarriage, and rushes her to the hospital when he sees she's in a bad state. At the hospital, he and Ursula plot their next move while the doctors do a D & C. Ursula prays she doesn't die, before they can get their hands on her money. The doc comes out and tells them that the infection was so bad, that they also have to do a hysterectomy. Dan plays to grieving father and fiance, and asks the doctor to let him break the news to Ivana. This is all kinds of wrong, and the doc holds on to his professional ethics for a minute, before he agrees. Ursula and Dan decide not to tell Ivana that she can no longer have children. Dan says it's even better now. No pesky kids to get in the way of HIM ending up with ALL the money. Bwahahaha! 
=================

Part 3:

- Alma, Claudio and Max see Dan and Ursula. Max calls out Dan's hypocrisy-- playing the faithful fiancé, when he saw Dan macking on MD just the day before, and just learned from Clara that he's trying to get back with MD. Dan claims he was just seeing MD to try to help her with the lawsuit Ivana is bringing against her. Alma and Ursula confirm the lawsuit to Max.

-Clara happily reports her visit with Leo to Espy and MD. Espy wonders how Alma treated her. Clara says she was cold, but polite, and it’s all due to MD going to talk to Alma. The sisters hug. Espy doesn’t want Clara to experience the troubles MD is having with Dan’s family, with Leo’s family. Clara doesn’t think you can even compare the two situations. Espy relents and gives in to Clara’s happiness.

- Dan goes in to see Ivana after she wakes up. He lays it on thick with the tears about their lost child, and how he wants to try for more. He lays his head on Ivana’s chest, and she looks like she may be falling for his act.

- Max tracks down MD as she’s walking through the park. He wants to know why she didn’t tell him about the lawsuit. He wants to help her. She tries to shoo him away, and says that Dan and Victor (the shady lawyer) are helping her. Max is flabbergasted. How can she trust Daniel? He tells her to stop playing the innocent and admit that she wants to be fooled by Daniel! MD snaps back and asks so what if she does!? Max declares his feelings for her again, takes her face into his face, and makes the slow approach to her lips. She doesn’t resist, and when their lips finally meet, she becomes a full participant. Another dress bag is dropped and totally forgotten as she melts into Max’s kiss.

Amores con trampa #105 and #106 8/24 and 8/25 Monday and Tuesday

I've condensed a lot tonight.

Rocio is very upset about her conversation with Beto. Feli wants to know whats wrong. She tries to brush it off. Feli rightly guesses she's upset about Beto and asks if they fought. Feli knows Beto adores Rocio. Rocio doesn't think so. Hilda was in Beto's office. Feli looks a little down about that. Rocio asks if he likes Hilda. He changes the subject. He encourages her to talk to Beto. "Tell him how you feel!" Rocio is convinced it's too late.

Maria tells Fac that Florencio has left for San Bartolo el Chico. Fac looks suspicious. Beto thinks this is a good thing since it means Florencio won't keep bothering Maria. Esteban interrupts this family meeting to ask Fac why he's leaving for SBeC with Porfirio. There's business to attend to! Fac has a meeting with the Japanese investors. Fac wonders how long it will take to wrap up the meeting with the investors so he can get going to SBeC. Esteban thinks if the ladies cook a good traditional meal, only a few days. Susana quips that Esteban is making jokes and Perpetua agrees...but they're bad jokes (Did I catch that correctly?) The family leaves

Avenida

How long before Carmina goes off the deep end? Maybe she already has...

Second, on this page we've decided not to talk about previews.

Have fun!

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #29 Fri 8/21/15: Amongst The Lies Various Versions Of The Truth Will Out

Parte 1



Susana has come to Maria Dolores with a version of the truth that best suits her purposes: Ivana is buying herself a husband and was willing to  fake a pregnancy in order to do so and to keep him Dan; Daniel never loved Ivana and Susana tried to convince her of it with the taped conversation. She lets MD hear enough of the taped conversation with Urrrrrsula to convince MD that they were in cahoots somehow.

At the same time, Max delivers Majorly Mad Maleny to her mother and deposits her there with Urrrrrsula and Arango The Arranger.  She waits for Max to leave: “—I’d rather they’d brought you home dead!”   “—Me , too!”  Well, there’s still time!”  Urrrrsula drags Mad Mal into her daddy’s former study/office, sits her down in a chair, and  pulls out a gun from the top desk drawer.  This didn’t kill your father.  It was you, with nerve enough to finish the job the coward couldn’t.    Mal tells her to shut up but Mama brashly continues.  “—Tell me at what moment you changed into a gutless wonder like him?  What were you thinking?  That by disappearing one night from home Max was going to take pity on you and go back to you?” 

“—So is this what you’d rather I do?”  Mad Malady de Maleny picks up the gun, cocks it and impulsively threatens to kill herself with it.  Arrango rushes over and manages to grab the gun away from her.  (A pity he’s so quick and able.)  Mal, in her frustration and anger, lets out with another cacophonous blast of certifiable bellowing, her reckless hysterical hijinks not having met with Mama’s approval.  No, says GRRRrsssula, Mal should have pulled that gun act in front of Max so that she’d have ended up appearing the sympathetic victim and not that seamstress!  Mal races out of the room and Mama Bear tells Arrango it was a lesson she needed.  “She’s turned into a spineless weakling just like her father and look how he ended up!”

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 ...
