Antes muerta que Lichita #53 Monday 12/7/15: Two weddings, two wheelchairs
Alicia goes to the orphanage to take Mateo a present. They won't let her see him, but they will let her talk to the social worker, Venus. Venus sees her from afar and ducks out - later telling Roberto that Alicia would have recognized her and a whole scandal would have broken out. She reminds him he promised to come clean to everybody every soon and says Mateo's been much more volatile since he started having memories of his mother.
Mateo loves Alicia's present and is delighted she remembered him.
Luckily for Roberto, Marta loses it completely in the courtroom, screaming and saying that Mateo is her Angelito and should be with her. Roberto kindly says the trial should be postponed till she feels better. Turns out this is the third anniversary of her Angelito's death from cancer. Sobbing, she's folded into the car by her sweet but ineffectual husband. She sees Beto talking to his lawyer and bolts to run across the road and almost get run over but is saved by Beto. She starts confusing Beto with God and says, "I begged you to take me instead of him." Shiver.
Roberto and Alicia continue to sulk about their respective upcoming weddings, which due to clerical error are going to happen at the same church on the same day.
The API guys are pleased with Alex and say he's ahead in the voting and his wedding will push him over the top and they wish him "a marriage as good as your parents' is." Eye roll.
There is a big dinner at the mansion. Roberto tries to beg off, Luciana says, "I pretend like the others but I'm worried, I never see you." He shows up after all, with a ring, she makes him get down on his knee, he looks like he's really making an effort to think this could work out. Luciana shows it to everybody. Alicia: "It's almost as lovely as the one you stole from the Duke." Luciana crows about her dress, which is nicer than Angeline Jolie's. Bea says she and Elsa will go with Alicia next day to get her a dress.
Magos is pushing Ximena down the sidewalk in her wheelchair when the gangster supplier appears, offers more merchandise to sell, and gratuitously makes a point of telling Ximena "your mother is a pirate." Magos says she's out of the game. "Your loss," he says and leaves. Magos lies, saying, "he's a liar," but Ximena says: "You think I know nothing? I know your friend Gerry got fired for selling pirated goods and now it turns out it was your fault and he took the fall for you." She chants "I have a mother who's a pirate" all the way home.
The cafe is doing well financially. Elsa and Nacho think Magos will help them more once Ximena recuperates, but Magos says she was thinking of studying something, Alicia had offered to pay. Nacho thinks she'll take the money and skip the studying.
The first commercial for Oki Oki is enthusiastically approved by the client. Alicia and Roberto have their usual fight about who is doing what por interes - to advance careers etc.
After being kissy with Sandra at the office, Augusto goes to some hotel and has sex with Chuchette, who notices the lipstick on his collar and knows he didn't get it at home, but she doesn't care much. She seems to be spying for him a bit and says that Roberto had been pretending to be in love with Alicia. This interests him for some Machiavellian reason.
Bachelor and bachelorette parties are being organized. There will be dirty games.
Rafael tells Valeria they have a pretty serious offer for the house, they'll pack up and move to San Miguel. Don Augusto has his henchman call the Buenos Aires real estate agent, he wants to buy Rafael's mansion.
Lastly, after yet another shouting convo with Beto moaning about how he's giving up the love of his life, Gumaro later takes off in his wheelchair to visit Nacho and Elsa at their cafe. To be continued!
Tonight: poor Ez will get a lot of bridal shop to recap I think.

Pasión y Poder #23 Monday 20151207 Arturo Gives Erick and Nina the Finger
Telenovela Dictionary:
angry forefinger: the physical stance in which Arturo Montenegro arranges his body once he has become enraged by the action or words of the idiots in his personal and professional life. The position consists of Arturo Montenegro entering an moron's personal space, and slightly crouching down while jabbing a extended index finger in an upward motion towards the his or her chin. At this stage he is normally screaming and pulling out his hair. This should not be confused with the "I'm about to explode fist".

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #73 Monday, 12-7-15 (Mex 102) In Which Fiorella Finds a Knife Protruding from the Angeles Family Back
Pedro and Gianluca's yelling goes to blows right inside La Dolce Vita: Pedro is attacking Gianluca for his part in deceiving the poor, dying Vittorio and Luca accuses Pedro of being a typical, cynical rich dude and trying to make Fiorella his personal plaything. Domingo breaks up the fight and Pedro leaves in a huff.
Pedro arrives at ACorp just after Benigno has signed the papers which form the new fused company headed up by the Ass. Benigno asks for a list of ACorps customers so as to insure there is no conflict of interest between the two client bases. Pedro exchanges sharp words with Assvaldo, then leaves with Aitana trailing him. Benigno and his wife discuss the still lost cell phone. The whole group toasts the merger.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #72 Thu 12/3/15 (Mex 101) The things we do for love
Fi's latest argument with Gianluca ends with a demand that he never kiss her again. Boo!
Ramiro gets all dressed up and goes to La Dolce Vita to check out Diana…and he makes it clear to Domingo that he is, indeed, checking out Diana (busy flirting with Vitto). Vitto even wanders over, giving Ramiro the chance to say that the meal is excellent, and oh by the way, that woman over there is his neighbor who he has the hots for. She doesn't know they're neighbors but he watches her all the time…with her son. Well, Vitto is convinced Beto is her nephew, so that gets Ramiro nowhere. He breaks it to Ramiro that Diana's spoken for…ohh, not by him! He's an honorable lech…er, leech…er, man who's about to get married. Fake-sad Ramiro asks for the check.

Antes muerta que Lichita #51 Wednesday 12/2/15 "The Rise of the Black Panther"
Just when we thought Alicia had gotten into the cab with Pits (El Axilas) it turns out that they played us in the previews and that Roberto appears just in time to prevent Alicia from ever getting into the taxi. He grabs Alicia by the arm and tells her that he has to talk to her about work and he will drive her home. What he says really does not make much sense and he has a hard time convincing her, but he manages to get her away from the taxi after a lot of arguing back and forth. Roberto tells her to wait for him at the reception desk and call her parents as he pays the taxi driver (who is already looking at him warily) a visit. Alicia remembers she did lose her phone and grudgingly goes inside complaining that Roberto always gets his way. So now we have just Pits and Roberto. Pits is afraid because he recognizes Roberto. Roberto grabs Pits by the hair on the back of the head and asks what he was doing with Alicia. Pits lies and says he was just taking her home. Roberto does not believe him one bit and tells him that if he sees him around Alicia and her family, Roberto will make Pits swallow his own fists (better that I stop here with the more than colorful description that follows).
At the Gutiérrez household, Flops (El Chanclas) is installed on the couch when he gets a phone call from Alicia. Boy is he surprised. She explains she forgot her cell phone and was just calling to say she was on her way. Magos comes to chit chat on the couch. Flops starts talking about Magos, Ximena and him, just the three of them in their own house. They wake up Nacho who has had it with their lack of respect for him and his house. He tells them go talk in their own house but not in his at that time of the night. Of course Magos has to complain.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #71 Wed 12/2/15 (Mex 100) Fifi fights for her obsession with marrying Vitto
Gael and Roxi have launched their plan to pose as lovers to fake the family out and take them off the trail of her and Benni. There is a scene where Osvaldo tells Sergio, Freddie and Sonia that Roxi and Gael are lovers and he apparently believes it. Sonia is shocked and thinks it's wrong because they are related. Freddie think it's no biggie because she's adopted.
Giana and Gael's little interlude in the garden is interrupted by Roxi and this is when the bulletin broke in. Later in the episode Gigi is bummed out about the fake romance between him and Roxi: she's afraid a real boink is in the future. Gael chills her out and warms her up at the same time with tender caresses and kisses.

Yo No Creo EnLos Hombres #99 Tue 12/1/15 -- Life Catches Up To Claudio And Alma Stops Playing The Fool
[Briefly as possible, there are only a few highlights in this miserably overlong episodio. --ed.]
- Josefa the angry Jefa knows she is in trouble this time cuz she just bashed Isela's head on the terrazzo floor, and Ise is lying there totally unconscious and bleeding. She raced out to get help from the barrio version of Dumb and Dumber, screaming for a taxi. (I guess ambulances are a luxury.) Of course, Max and Leo, who've just come for Esperanza and Clara in hopes they'd stay a while at mom and pop's palace while the Honoria Horror Show of Hate dies down, helps out the Heffer. Ho-sey lies (natch) about how Ise ended up unconscious and bloody on her floor. "--duh-h, she just suddenly passed out and dropped and hit her head."
- Claudio, who found Alma in pain in the bathroom and nearly passed out from that, takes her to the hospital. She's quickly now becoming a pain herself, getting up and out of bed, schlepping her hanging bags and tubes all around, and thus sneaking up behind Clod in every whispered conversation, getting in the old hubby's face everywhere he turns. She, in this way, manages to overhear the phone call that Leo makes explaining they've found Ise bashed and bloody and wanting to know which hospital is best to bring her to. Clod naturally suggests the one he's at now, and then explains Mom's there taking up a bed also.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #97 Friday 11/27/15 The Enemy List Grows
Max and MD exchange rings through the bars of the local jail. They don't need a church or a judge, they consider themselves married.
Orlando returns to Josefa with Doris in tow, to ream her out for destroying his shop. Josefa accuses him of kidnapping her. She said that if he withdraws his report on her involvement of the theft of his stuff from the shop, she will withdraw her report of him kidnapping her. But she’s still furious that he made her miss all the good stuff that happened while she was trapped in the shop. She stomps off and Doris holds Orlando back from following her.
Doris convinces him that he should let it go, they have the money from her Nanis to start a new shop, and after everything that has happened, she can’t withstand Orlando being in jail and having to deal with everything without him being there for support. Orlando feels very guilty for spending the time to take Josefa away because if they hadn’t done that, he would have been there in time to stop what happened and Julian would still be alive. They cry together over the loss of Orlando’s best friend, a very sweet loving scene.

Antes muerta que Lichita #48 Friday 11/27/15 Engagement party and Alicia tries to pull a 'i can do it all alone!' sprint... very successful with the Mi Can customers... but can she hold the pace?
Braulio tells Lichita (let me share something in your inbox… (LOL!)) that Sandra ordered everyone in the office to boycott her… so she is on her own with ALL the campaign work. Lichita tells us that she then realized that the engagement with Alex did not do anything for her, that she had to EARN her title with her work.
At the café, Nacho and Elsa comment it was good to leave LIchita out of the mess of the coffee cart at the office. Meanwhile Ximena’s dad (can’t remember his nick) is trying to make a tower of donuts and cinnamon rolls for display… too much touching and too little work if you ask me… Nacho and Elsa are glad the coffee shop is starting up… but Elsa wonders who she can get to handle the cart at Iconika… Ximena’s dad offers his services… Nacho says heck no! but Ximena’s dad says it is Elsa’s final word and puts his arm around her… LOL!
Valeria and Luciana are talking to her dad on the web… Luciana assures Rafael that her fiancée is a great guy… Rafael is more interested in showing them his new painting, which looks like a mix of Luciana and Valeria… Luciana is like ‘ah….. well….. hu….. ‘ ‘cute!’ Luciana leaves. Rafael tells Valeria that he feels he deserves that for treating Luciana like he has…
Elias is trying to encourage Lichita… but reminds her she has a LOT of work to do… and asks ‘why are you trying to show this front of ‘I can do it all, you will see!’? Luciana asks if he will watch her or help out… he responds ‘I’ll watch!’ LOL!!
Rafael continues with Valeria, says he feels abandoned over there in Buenos Aires alone… Valeria tells him she does miss a bit of BA, but here she has a much more fulfilling life… so forget it if you are sitting and waiting for her to return. Rafael tells her ‘don’t you feel like you are sitting as permanent guests there? Don’t you feel bad about it? ‘ Valeria says no way with this caseron! (huge mansion) they are staying at… Rafael then gets a bit hopeful ‘you think they are beginning to forgive me?’
Roberto asks Luciana if she does not think their engagement was a bit rushed and they should call it off. Luciana says no way Jose!
Fatima tells LIchita about the guy with the cart was selling pirate merchandise… Fatima also tells Lichita that she had caught Magos doing it when Magos was the one handling the cart… Lichita and her conclude it was Magos doing (or at least the one that started) the pirate selling, not the guy that got fired. Lichita is about to shoot fire out her mouth she is so mad with Magos...

Antes Muerta que Lichita #47 Thursday 11/26/15: Nepotism, Lies & Backstabbing...Just Another Day in Iconika
Lets get on to the show as the people of Iconika did not slow down with their shenanigans due to the holidays.
Alicia decides to tell half truths to her mother and does a bad job of convincing Elsa she is not marrying Alex for purely business reasons. To Alicia's credit she admits that she is not in love with Alex but he is basically like a best friend. Elsa tries to reason with Alicia that marriage is hard enough as it is. You need to find someone that you can see as your husband...etc. Alicia eventually cuts her mom off saying that she knows what she is doing. She made her decision and Elsa cannot talk her out of it. Elsa walks away with tears.
Luciana is having one of her wash, rinse, repeat scenes with Don Augusto about getting back at Alicia. She wants her humiliation to happen like yesterday and for Beto to go far in the company. Even Don Augusto is tired of her antics and puts her on a timer.
Don't you want to just pinch my cheeks. I'm so cute! |
Sandra calls a meeting with the creative directors, minus Alicia, to make it clear that Alicia she not be given special treatment even though she is the fiance of Alex. She basically wants them to make her job harder...not to help her...etc.
Fatima asks Alicia why she is not at the meeting when all the other creative directors are there. Alicia joins everyone just as Sandra ends the meeting. Alicia holds Sandra back to try to clear things with her. However, Sandra is not ready to let the chip on shoulder thaw. Sandra tries to put Alicia in her place foreshadowing that she has her work cut out for her. Alicia does not cower.

We are back at the awards presentation where Luciana is accepting Roberto's proposal. He is staring right at Alicia with his big sad puppy dog eyes(don't do anything for me anymore). Alicia is not a happy camper. Her reaction is so apparent, Alex asks her if she is okay. Of course, she is. Beatriz is not happy that she did not know ahead of time about Alex's "surprise" engagement and tells Augusto as much. Augusto says they wanted it to be a surprise and that he himself was surprised by Roberto and Luciana's engagement. Alicia is getting the same reaction from her parents who did not appreciate being "surprised" at all. Beatriz comes over with Alex and Augusto to complain to Alicia and Alex that she is angry because they only left Augusto in on the secret. Augusto tries to smooth it all over and gets Nacho to reluctantly agree that the important thing is to celebrate their children's engagement.
Somewhere else in the room Valeria is congratulating Roberto and Luciana and talking about how they have to inform her father. Augusto appears with some champagne to make a toast and approaches Roberto who apologizes for not telling him about the engagement ahead of time. No problem, Augusto is there to make a toast with them all for Alex and Alicia.
Augusto notices a pensive Sandra leaving the room and follows her to a side hall. He wants to know what he can do for her. She understands the promotion for Alicia now that she knows she is going to be Augusto's daughter in law. Augusto asks her not to make a scene because Beatriz is there and she might figure things out. She is sick of being second. Augusto tells her he only loves her and roughly grabs her to kiss her. Surprise! Elías in his top hat catches them. He wonders out loud if Sandra and Augusto are all alone to deal with some work issue or maybe something more intimate.
At the mansion, Dafne is having a good time blogging about her surviving her first day at school, explaining it all to Yesenia the maid, and eating French fries.

Aitana want Pietro to come to her dress fitting, the dress will look just like his mom’s wedding dress. Pietro is touched, but when she asks if he misses her, meaning his mom, he thinks of Fiorella, and tells her he knows he is marrying the woman who can make him forget (blech)
Quina thinks Fidel doesn’t respect her after her confession, Fidel is cool with her but has lost respect for Max even though he already knew he cheated. Quina tells the whole story; she was young and impressionable, he was powerful and horny, and whoosh Roxi came along, at first he wanted to give her money to go away and he would keep the kid but she didn’t want to separate from her daughter so he handled things his way and she came to work on the day Roxi was adopted, look how well that turned out.
In true telenovela fashion Quina doesn’t want to tell Roxi what she should know because it would make her unhappy (show of hands, anybody who doesn’t think Roxi would be better off, and less annoying, knowing Joaquina is her real mommy -- yeah I thought not)

Antes muerta que Lichita #44 Monday 11/23/15: the worm continues to turn
Gumaro, who literally ran into Luciana outside the restaurant where Roberto is meeting with his lawyer, flirts hard with her, partially to save Roberto's ass and partially because he is very attracted to her. She calls him an indio sin gracia (play on her usual idiosincracia) and complains about the hairy guys and human contamination in Nacolandia.
Marlene Garbo wants to be Cleopatra in her own ads, with a few hundred extras, and pyramids. Or, instead, she'll be a Roman emperess and kill Christians in a coliseum. Alicia and Elias point out that these ideas, while undoubtedly magnificent, would be expensive and would not sell her products. Here's what they think:
Elias and Marlene continue their flirtation and are soul-gazing with joined hands when Sandra comes in.
Later Elias tells Sandra: Marlene doesn't like any of our ideas, we are are "un cero a la izquierda," that is, zero, "as our marriage was" - but when Sandra evinces jealousy he lights up and says, maybe our marriage was better than I thought - maybe 0.5 from the left on the meter.
Magos' revolting pole dance wriggling in front of the Guero continues though he says, "I don't want any more coffee! And I love my fiancee and we're getting married soon!" By accident Magos, Guero, and the door collide and he has to go to the hospital with a broken nose. Magos follows and offers him coffee there, too. Just when she tells him Ximena is his daughter, his fiancee shows up (of course), hears all, and leaves in tears.
The Guero finally tells Magos that the night she woke up next to him, naked as Eve, they hadn't had sex. "You were drunk and sad because Chanclas was cheating on you. I was a gentleman, I didn't take advantage of you." She is astounded, has the grace to be embarrassed, and goes to his girlfriend's house to confess her idiot behavior and declare: Guero is completely innocent. He shows up, proposes to Vanessa, they embrace, and Magos has finally done something right.
Augusto asks Roberto to keep Luciana away from the house so the engagement dinner with Alex and Alicia can be peaceful. At a restaurant, Luciana tells Roberto Alicia will soon be fired, confesses her escapade escaping the Duke but keeping his ring, and that she's under a warrant for arrest back home in Argentina. She wants some confessions from him too but he resists. She pries: is Mateo really just your nephew?
At the mansion, during the glacial family dinner, Augusto and Beatriz laud appearances and united families. "It's one thing on the outside and another on the inside," Alex says.
