Por Amar Sin Ley, 3/16/18 Chapter 10 Viernes: Death, Taxes, and Envy



Chapter 10: Death, Taxes, and Envy

Olivia's voice: Previously on D.F. Law:
  • Alan met with his banker about getting major assets of his firm transferred into what he said were Carlos' personal accounts. He told the man that he was looking out for Carlos' interests. The banker seemed to recognize that there were some serious issues in play and wondered whether this was entirely above board. Nonetheless, he shook hands with Alan and left the meeting.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 3/15/18 Chapter 9: Dreaded Ends and Making New Friends

Carlos explains his strategy of exculpation,aka, acquittal, to his dimmer witted cousin, Alan: if Carolos gets Leonardo, who everyone knows won't defend anyone he deems to be lying, and who comes from his major legal competition, as his criminal defense attorney [penalista] then his personal and professional reputation suddenly becomes golden again--and Leo should win that cases.

Victoria gives her official statement to the equivalent of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office.  She  assures her that many times she told her dead friend, Rocio, to tell the police about her husband's physical and mental abuse.  That's why she filed an anonymous complaint against Dario (Mario?).  She warned to be careful and that he'd end up killing her some day and now.....well Vicki's determined it was that brute--who has suddenly, conveniently gone missing--and she's going to put him behind bars if it's the last thing she ever does!

Papa a Toda Madre #42 3.15.18: Is Anyone Really Who They Say They Are?

Or Who's Playing Who?

Mauricio and Renee run over to pick up Anifer from Veronica but Anifer declares that she no longer loves him and it’s his fault her mother died. Renee tells her that Mauricio is not at fault but Anifer states that they are both liars and she doesn’t want to go home with them because they are lies. She prefers to go to Neron’s house and Neron and Flor agree but Mauricio reminds her that he just wanted to protect her and begs her to come back home. Renee agrees and begs Anifer as well, but Jorge suggests they drag her back home, but Veronica shakes her head. Tono agrees with Jorge but Neron can’t as he would leave these things to Carmelita and now Flor. Jorge suggests Mauricio give Anifer a good whipping, as discipline is necessary, but Veronica disagrees. Tono wonders why all the lies in the first place and Jorge reiterates that they punish Anifer for escaping. Flor shuts everyone up then and tells Anifer that she can stay with them, at least for today, since it’s been a rough day. Neron agrees and Anifer looks at Mauricio, quietly, extremely disappointed in his actions.

In her suite, Kika tells Charytin about the fact that her revenge is finally complete, but she feels that she paid too high a price because she would feel guilty if something happens to Anifer. Charytin suggests she move on and come back to Miami but Kika must find out if Anifer is safe.

Chapter 8: The 400 Blows

Another Elena-free episode:
  • Repeat of Carmen commenting positively about Ana and Leonardo announcing their engagement. Ricardo looks somewhere between apprehensive and guilty.

Toño is in Mauricio’s office telling him that they have at least one month to get the money together. Mauricio is sick of the beating and trolling he is taking on the social networks from Kika’s fans who idolize her. Toño tells him to just let it go because it will be long forgotten in 48 hours but Mauricio can’t believe that. The image of Logatoys could be affected and his image, too. Toño suggests that they let it go for today at least and have some peace. Toño has to go home to get a few things done before the kids come home. Mauricio says he has to go get Anifer. Fabián walks in as Toño leaves. Fabián immediately wants to know what Mauricio’s neighbor is doing there.

Nerón is talking to his doctor and finds out that he has an enlarged prostate gland which is relatively common in men of his age. Nerón wants to know what that means. Well, the doctor informs him that it could cause him some problems: urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage. The doctor tells him that after the age of forty all men should have their prostate checked each year. Nerón explains that he has always felt well and he knows all about those prostrate exams . . . The doctor wants to stay on top of the situation. He wants Nerón to notice if he has problems urinating, if he has to urinate a lot at night, or if he sees any small drops of blood in his urine. Nerón asks the doctor if he is about to die. The doctor says no but he does need to check him out in a couple of days. Nerón asks if it is that kind of checkup. The doctor says yes, it is that kind of checkup. Nerón is bothered and depressed at the thought . . .

Papa a Toda Madre, capítulo 38, Friday March 9, 2018; Inquiring minds want to know!


Yesterday’s episode ended with Kika’s monetary investment in Logatoys. It must have been a very large investment as she says “You are not going to get rid of me that easily.” Mau says to her, “Look Kika, I don’t want to make you angry, but what are you doing here?” Kika says, “I want to invest in your business. Just because we ended our relationship, doesn’t mean we can’t be business partners.” Jorge says that the money is already in the bank, but Mau says he doesn’t want it and says goodbye to Kika. He says he feels like a freed condor flying through the air. Kika says the money is there, it was automatically deposited and now she is a full fledged partner with Logatoys. Falcon wants to extend his hand and say “welcome to Logatoys”, but Mau pushes him back. Jorge wants to know if they are still a couple. Mau says NO and Kika says YES.

At the dance club yesterday, Nerón falls to the floor in an apparent heart attack. Flor screams for help and wants a doctor. One guy says he is studying veterinary medicine, but that’s not good enough for Flor. She says he is not a mule or a horse. Another woman says she can do CPR and mouth to mouth, but Flor won’t allow it. She asks for someone to call an ambulance. She cries and asks Nerón not to leave her and Milady.

Mauricio tells Kika that it’s best they break off everything between them because he’s not sure of what he feels and confesses that he feels something but for Renee. Kika can’t believe he’s trying to breakup with her, after all she’s done for him, but Mauricio reminds her that he rejected her investment at Logatoys and she proposed to him and he only accepted out of respect. Kika is shocked at his decision but Mauricio is done talking and tells her he has to go and get Anifer. Kika is left screaming and talking to herself that he can’t trade her for a maid. She then runs after him as everyone in the hospital stares.

Later, Mauricio wheels Anifer inside their home and asks her to be careful lest she break another leg. He then tells Anifer that he has to go into Logatoys and Renee offers to take care of Anifer in the meantime. She then states that she will fine a place nearby when she moves and Anifer wonders when she decided this. Mauricio explains that Renee thought of leaving but things changed and no she’s not leaving and he’s not getting married and isn’t Kiki’s boyfriend either. Anifer is ecstatic, as she hated the way Kika grabbed her cheek, and Renee tells Mauricio she will talk to him later and goes to the kitchen.

She is clearly not in the mood. He keeps on pushing the issue because he says he is always ready. She finally tells him she has an issue with him being all sweaty from the gym and stinky. She tells him to go take a shower. She will make him some food. He ends up sniffing his own armpit and is taken aback by the stench.

[Previously: In Miami, Arístides tells Mau that when he arrived from Venezuela many years ago, he had nothing…not even a dollar. He only had his wife who was pregnant with Charitín and Kika who was still very small. At that time, they were his only treasure. Mau understands perfectly well because he is also a father. Arístides argues that Mau knows nothing; he was born in a golden crib…Arístides was not! Everything Arístides has, he earned through his work and much effort…thanks to the strength that his family gave him. It was not easy because he encountered many enemies. When Mau supposes that he is referring to his father, Mau also asks Arístides to explain why he is blaming Bosco for the fraud that sent Arístides to jail, but Arístides remains silent.] (Red Flag #1)

I didn't change anything except grammar errors and pronoun errors that occur in Google Translate. However, I have some doubts regarding descriptions such as that of characters' ages, which I left as given. If this information is accurate we will get a few people being cast against type so this could be very interesting.


RICARDO BUSTAMANTE (David Zepeda)
Attractive lawyer specialized in family law. In his forties, handsome, kind, noble, sincere and hardworking. Partner of the law firm Vega. He is constantly guided by the laws of ethics and love and, in general, seeks to help others instead of thinking about himself. He has an excellent relationship with his ex-wife's children, Elena; and although they are not his blood sons, he raised them from very young, which is why he sees them as his own. Ricardo finds in Alejandra an admirable woman and with whom he shares the same ideals, so that soon the attraction he feels for her becomes love.

Caer en Tentacion #101, 2/28/18: Everyone hates Damian

Part 2 is up, enjoy!

Hi my patio peeps, this is my last recap of what has been an incredible production. The acting and writing has been fantastic but let's be honest, this has been really dark and because it was so well done we can't even really be snarky, I think we are all going to need some tequila at the end of this.

This is the hardest recap I've ever had to do, there's so much going on and I hope to do it justice, if I miss anything or get anything wrong please correct me and feel free to add it in the comments section! I'm to recap the things that happened in the past and work my way to the present, its the only way that I can keep everything together.

Papá a toda madre # 31, 2/28/18: A Proposal Steamroller Style--OR--Kika Starts to Wear Thin


At Toño’s House, it is breakfast time and Ernesto is asking Toño about wearing his bunny ears. Toño says it is no longer necessary since they got his hair color changed back to normal. The topic is quickly changed when Verónica comes into the room asking Toño to take the kids to school because she has to get to work. Toño gives her something for lunch and kisses her goodbye. Right before she leaves, she tells them all that today she has a surprise for them. Toño is left wondering.

Kika asks Anifer for her impression of the gift that she bought for her dad. Anifer says it is pretty but only two people fit. Renée interrupts the car conversation saying that they better take Anifer to school because if she gets there late they will not let her in. Kika has a great idea: She and Mauricio can take Anifer. Anifer can sit on her lap. Much to Kika’s disappointment, three in the new car does not work because Anifer cannot sit up front on somebody’s lap or by herself either. Anifer solves the problem.If Mauricio has no seats in the back, the police won’t say anything about her sitting up front. Not too reluctantly, Mauricio joins Anifer in the new car as Renée makes sure she has all that she needs for the day. Kika is not so pleased about being left behind. Renée tells her that is the problem with two seater cars. Mauricio says he will come back for Kika in a flash. Kika decides to call her chauffeur instead. She will see him at Logatoys. When they are gone, Renée takes the opportunity to tell Kika that if she is going out with Mauricio she has to accept the fact that his daughter Anifer comes first before anything even a car that is so fabulous.

Papa a Toda Madre #30: Beware of a Beautiful Blond Offering Free Sports Cars...

Or When the Dog's Away the Cats Will Fight...

Fabian tells Kika that Mauricio and Renee kissed but she doesn’t believe him and begins to hit him. He demands to calm down but Kika keeps screaming that he is lying.

Once the children have finished eating, Tono tries to pick up the table and instructs them to get ready for swimming and ballet. They don’t want to go but he demands they obey him and go get ready. Tono then goes to the kitchen and begins to wash the dishes, much to his annoyance.

Over lunch, Anifer tells Renee and Mauricio that she likes her new school much better than the religious one, though not better than the one in her small town, but she’s happy Ernesto is in her same class. Mauricio smiles and reminds Anifer that she must study a lot as she needs a career to support herself. Anifer asks Mauricio if he didn’t inherit his company and Renee laughs. Mauricio tells Anifer that, while true, she still must work because he inherited some things but lost them all as well. Renee nods and reiterates that he lost those things himself and Mauricio looks at Anifer and tells her to work heard, despite what she may inherit, and Anifer asks if they will be making more toys together. Mauricio nods and tells her that, no matter what happens, he wants the world to know she helped design toys for Logatoys. Anifer jumps up and smiles wide as doe Renee and Mauricio. However, when they see make contact, they frown immediately as Anifer continues to smile.

Caer en Tentación #99, 2/26/18, Lunes: The Dominoes Start Falling

Chapter 99: The Domines Start Falling

This is my last recap for this series and it's been a wild ride as well as a great intellectual exercise. I hope that this producer will bring us more exciting stories in future. For my teammates on this series, you're the best.
Note that Vicente's vision of the fatal night is in italics, as it is interspersed with shots of him confessing to Antonio and Fernando.

Vicente entered the river holding a large rock wrapped in a rope whose other end was tied around his waist. It is difficult to imagine that the weight of this rock would cause him to sink and die, but perhaps this was part of his most recent delusions. He walked into the water, not knowing that Fernando Godoy saw him from the riverbank. Fernando shouted his name several times before removing his jacket and jumping in, grabbing him in time and dragging him to the riverbank.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 29, 2/26/2018: ♪♪ You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This Unless You Mean It Like That ♪♪



At Logatoys, Kika explains that she took the risk of talking to Anifer because she cares about him. She just hopes that the nanny isn’t putting any ideas in his head that would turn him against her. Mau tries to tell her not to refer to Renée by that name, but stops himself because he thinks it would be of no use. When he asks why Renée would do something like that, Kika responds that it’s obvious that Renée is very much in love with him and wants to come between them. Mau doesn’t think it’s true, but Kika assures him it is and adds that Renée doesn’t realize that she shouldn’t be hoping for someone like him…ever! Mau assures Kika that Renée isn’t hoping for a man like him; so Kika sighs and tells him that men never see things clearly while women have a sixth sense about these things. She knows that Renée is in love with him…that’s why Renée hates her. (Good choice out of so many good reasons, Renée)

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 28, Friday February 23, 2018, Jorge has been exposed—or—One big happy family!

We begin where we left off last time on Jarifa’s recap: “Kika and Mauricio are laid out on the pavement somewhere as he proclaims that he does not want to drink anymore. He is done. He has to go. Kika isn’t. She wants to go on drinking but if not she has other ideas . . . They are both slurring their words. They both sit up. She demands that he tell her about Anifer’s mother. Before returning to the comfort of the pavement, Mauricio tells her that María is dead.”

At the apartment where Baldo and Lili live, Jorge is telling Baldo to please take his feet off the table. He has brought them information on possible schools to attend. They are not pleased, they think that the choices are not good schools. Baldo makes a comment that these are similar to the one in Tijuana. Jorge says to look over the choices, but the twins think they deserve better. Jorge tells them that economics are not that good, but in his opinion, the schools themselves are good, so please choose one you think you would like. [Me gets the impression said twins are behaving like spoiled brats.] Lili makes the accusation that his other children get better treatment. Jorge doesn’t want to discuss this, tells them to behave because he has to leave. Baldo makes the comment about going out and Jorge wants to know where he’s going. “What’s the matter, can’t we go out? Do we have to stay inside?” Jorge say, “I just don’t want you doing anything foolish. I will trust you.”

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 2/21/18 Capítulo 27 : One Shot Too Many For the Gullible--OR--A View From the Pavement


Nerón is all dressed up in a suit this time as he makes a visit to the Public Ministery. He asks what he needs to do to re-open his tire business. Might they just lower the fine a little bit? Sorry but the best that can be done is to give him the option of splitting the fine into two installments: pay the first now and the second within the month. Nerón wonders how he can get so much money together in such a short time.

Toño is sitting in a classroom filled with mothers where a teacher is informing them that she wants their children to bring something that represents them to the festival. It can be a plant, a toy, a photo. It also can be a pet but if it is, the smaller the better. Toño is on his phone and manages to disturb the whole group by laughing at something. He starts to explain that he was just writing his wife about was going on at the meeting. She is the one who usually does these things. That was the wrong thing to say as the teacher makes a point of telling him that they all believe in gender equality here. He quickly adds that he does, too, but they have to admit that they are a little different. As he continues to talk, he just digs himself in deeper. He realizes he is in enemy territory.

Caer en Tentacion #96, 2/20/18: I Want a Divorce Because I've been Cheating on You for Three Years and It's Time

Greetings, amigos on the Patio. This is my last recap for Caer. It's been a fabulous run and have enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies of this well-crafted story. Tonight the chickens are coming home to roost. We only have a few more episodes to go and I'll be keeping my eyes on all the developments from here on out.

Some scenes combined so it's not so choppy.
En el Presente
Azucena is still talking to Damian. The subject is cash. With difficulty, Dam says the cash for Vicente wasn't there. Azu says she personally put the cash in a satchel and put it in Dam's car, as he instructed. She's offended that he might think she took it. After some back and forth, it's clear that Andres knew about the large sum of money withdrawn from Dam's account. She shares that he's obsessively followed every movement of money in the company.

Andres pays a surprise visit to Alina. She's not interested in whatever it is he wants. He ask her to hear him out. It's just a little business affair. He can arrange for her to get everything she wants and he can have the same. What does he mean by that, she asks. Don't be stupid, he replies. Raquel and Santiago.

Papa a Toda Madre #26 2.20.18: Beware of Dressing Rooms with Cloth Partitions...

Or "You Want to Talk About This in Public?"

Tono and Mauricio quickly cover up Carola’s body as the children approach and ask them what they are doing. Tono explains that he is helping Mauricio plant his plant but the children ask him why, as he doesn’t like him, and Tono explains that neighbors must get along. Mauricio goes along with his story, though he gives Tono a death glare, and Tono asks the children to go play elsewhere. Fidel states that he misses Carola but Rafael goes to him and assures him he will find a new dog for them as Carola is with new owners. Tono then asks the kids if they want to go watch a movie and they leave, as does Rafael, as Anifer comes and brings Mauricio his gloves. She then tries to help but Mauricio asks her to direct his actions, only, and he can get his hands dirty. He sends her to stand at least 10 ft away and continues to dig around Carola’s body to plant Anifer’s plant.

As Neron and Pablo walk around town and look for a job, Pablo wonders how much longer it will take. Neron tells him they have to be careful, as he is undocumented, and they shouldn’t settle. Pablo offers to clean around the cul-de-sac, as a handyman of sorts, but Neron doesn’t know if they can pay him. Just then, Rodrigo arrives and reveals that he heard Pablo talk so he asks Pablo his age and where he comes from. Neron visibly tenses as does Pablo.

Caer en Tentación #95, 2/19/18, Lunes:The Dominoes are in Place


Chapter 95: The Domines are in Place

Santiago tried to convince Raquel that this was a misunderstanding and that nothing happened with him and Alina. She refused to believe him, would not listen to him, and calmly told him to leave. More than once; also saying more than once that she never wanted to see him again.
Mia leaned over Damían as he told her he had killed Carolina as he tried to recall what happened when getting out of the car. She told him to calm down, telling him that Carolina was dead and no longer existed. The tone of her voice seemed to creep him out. He stared into her eyes and seemed to go into another respiratory crisis. Mia called the nurse over, saying that he was imagining things and getting upset. The nurse put her fingers on his carotid artery. Mia fled the room and went into the hall. Raquel came up and saw that something was wrong. Mia said that her father suddenly became nervous and when Raquel asked why she tried to leave. Raquel pulled her back, asking what happened and whether Damían said anything.
He talked about Carolina,” Mia whined, starting to cry. Raquel fell into that trap and embraced her daughter as though she were a child again.

Mau goes to see Loopy. He didn’t go there to talk or argue; he just wants to know exactly how much money Renée owes him because Mau will pay it. Loopy responds that is something between him and Renée. Mau states that is why he wants to pay; he just wants Loopy to stop bothering Renée. When Mau again asks for the amount. Loopy smirks and comments that Renée is now selling herself so easily. Mau stops him and tells Loopy what Loopy had just said, “It’s something between her and me.” Loopy continues to criticize Renée since she pretends to be such a feminist and so independent yet she is letting “Juniorcito” pay her bills. When he tells Mau that Renée is just a gold digger, Mau tells him to shut his mouth and stop saying stupidities and to just tell him that measly amount Renée owes him.

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 24, Friday February 16, 2018: Anifer will not accept Kika or "I am your father!"


We open with Kika on her pink phone (looks like a toy) telling whoever she is talking to that she hopes that (I assume Mauricio) will suffer and end up in the dog poo. Flashback to the past, when Mauricio was in high school. He helps a young Kika with the books she dropped on the stairwell. They become friends. Later he confronts her about some of his friends telling him that she is in love with him. She says that they are just friends and do a fist bump and declare their forever friendship. But Maur asks her, “But is it really true that you are in love with me?” Back to the present, Kika continues talking on that phone and says, “I will not forgive or forget” and hangs up then leaves.

At the baptism party Toño asks Jorge what happened on his trip because he looks like someone died. (Well yeah…) Even Renée chimes in and says he looks a lot more serious than he usually does. Jorge says it’s just a lot of work, but otherwise, everything is fine.

Caer en Tentacion #92/93, 2/15/18: The truth is out

Recap is done!

The truth comes out. Federico has followed Damian and has seen him with Carolina, he walks up to Damian's car and demands that he get out of the car and answer his questions.

Demian: Federico, please calm down"
Federico:" Don't ask me to calm down! You're cheating on mom!"
Damian:"what did you see?"
Federico:"I saw everything! Don't treat me like I'm stupid! I followed you here, I've been following you all along. I saw your attitude change, I saw how nervous you got when your phone rang, and it was because of Carolina, right? Have the decency to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth!"
Damian: " Yes, I have a relationship with Carolina."

Federico reproaches Damian for never looking at his mom the same way he looks at Carolina, and for cheating on her with his best friends mother, the wife of his business partner and his mother's best friend. He wants an explanation, all Damian can say is that he fell in love and could not help it, he is human and makes mistakes, just like anyone else. Federico wants to know if Damian plans on telling Raquel the truth but of course the answer to that is no, because Damian is a coward. Federico goes to answer Raquel's phone calls and Damian looks like he is going to pee his pants.

Papa a Toda Madre #23 2.15.18: If Two Snakes Kiss, Do They Poison Each Other?

Or Fabian Shows Us What He is (Truly) Made of

Mauricio tells Renee that he knows she doesn’t like Kika. In fact, he could say she’s jealous. He runs out as Renee huffs and looks at Anifer, who shrugs.

At home, Veronica asks Tono to please clean the house a little for their guests. Tono nods but wonders who is going to cook. He suggests they order take out and Veronica finally agrees as Tono doesn’t know how to cook well. Veronica then asks him to please behave, so her boss sees how close their family is, but the dinner doesn’t guarantee that he will be hired. Tono understands and offers to tell his best jokes to see if her boss lightens up. Veronica laughs and nods.

The next day, Mauricio tells Fabian that Kika is beautiful, sexy, and even gets along with Anifer. Fabian asks if he trusts her, and all she says, and Mauricio is sure she is the persons she says she is. Fabian is still unsure, as it seems Mauricio likes Kika for other things, and not business, but Mauricio takes the hint and assures Fabian that he will separate business from pleasure.

At the hospital, Baldo demands to know why Jorge is still there when the doctor comes and announces that Yuriria has woken from the coma and wants to talk to her children. Jorge hopes this shows them the power of prayer but Baldo scruffs and walks away with Lili.

This is Anita filling in with some bullet points.
Part 1/3
En El Presente
. Santi and Raq talk on the phone. Catch up with the latest news.
. Next morning Fede tells Raq he and Mia will support her with anything she decides regarding Benji.
. Raq admits to being scared OF and FOR Mia.
. Santi rather reluctantly shares with Lola & Nico the information Ant passed on regarding Attack Guy and Garrido being involved in the accident. One of them confessed to helping provoke the accident and robbery was the motive. No news on Caro's killer, though.
. Ant and Nando strategize. Ant says it's so logical that it happened the way AG says it did, but something doesn't add up. When the two approached the crashed vehicle, they didn't have time to look for the money before they heard sirens heading their way. Ant muses, but then how did Dam's fingerprints get on the gun that killed Caro and why was it Santi's pappi's gun? AG claims only Dam was on the ground. (Flashback to the two guys doing their thing.)

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 2/14/18 Capítulo 22: The Legendary Bad Penny Always Turns Up

Officials from the city visit Nerón and close his business down. Nerón first begs them not to but is told that he can either comply or end up in jail. He is then incensed. He knows that they want a bribe but he isn't going to give them one. He is an honorable man. There is no reason for them to close down his tire business. They tell him that he better take his complaint to the Public Ministry as they put up huge “closed” signs sealing the doorways of his business. Pablo tries to calm Nerón down and asks if he wants him to go with him to contest the action. Nerón says sure but only up to the door so they don’t get wind of him being here illegally and send him back to Guatemala.

Back at the school, Renée asks the priest to clarify what a normal and traditional family is. No problem there: it is one that is created by the Church in holy matrimony consisting of a father, a mother and children. She then asks what he thinks about single mothers and the kind of family she had with her mother and herself. Would he not consider that a family? The priest and the nun answer in unison and the answer is “NO”. The nun makes it clear that there is only one kind of family and Father Cutberto described it. Renée finds it unbelievable that they would expel a little girl for just asking questions that are age appropriate. She does not live in a bubble and realizes that there is so much more out there beyond what they are telling her. Mauricio agrees and adds that his daughter is quick and witty. She got her intelligence from him, of course. Renée tells the priest that it is they rather that don’t “fit” the needs of Anifer. The school is way too limiting for her. Mauricio likes that. The priest comes back with maybe it is not limiting enough since the child seems to have inherited her rebelliousness from her mother. The nun seconds that. Mauricio grabs Renée and pulls her close to him saying that Renée is defending their daughter like the mother that she is. She is completely right. This school is not at Anifer’s level. They won’t be expelling Anifer because he and Renée are leaving and taking Anifer with them.

Caer en Tentacion #88/89, 2/13/18: Death and Denial::Let Downs, Take Downs, & Shake Downs

88: Death Succumbs Her 

A Chinese firedrill ensues at the worksite where Santiago has fallent about 15 feet off the ladder.  The ambulance comes and loads him up and Carolina meets the kids at the hospital.  He's going to need surgery and a nail put into a fractured leg.

Excited discussions at Legato that Federico overheard makes him surmise correctly that Papi has something on the side he's been trying to hide.  He and Damian go to lunch together.  He walks all around the topic to get a response from Daddy Dam; Dam accuses Fede of accusing him of something untoward. 


At the hospital, Carol and Lola confront the head of accounting/insurance agency? about their lack of insurance suddenly now due to a couple of unmade payments.  Caro had no idea and the two females harangue the guy unmercifully.  Caro angrily states she cannot believe that after paying gawd knows how much money to them all these years when they finally need it now they refuse to cover this accident over two missed payments!!  (Yup.  You go, girl!)  When she puts it that way (it sounds like the worst abuse in the world of legalistic bureaucratic power (which I agree, strict Girl Scout that I am, it is) the bureaucrat seems to back down and states that all they have to do is come up with the missed payments and the crisis is over.

    Caer en Tentación #86/87, 2/12/18, Lunes: Unnatural Killers / A Visit From the Reaper



    Chapter 86: Unnatural Killers

    Raquel and Damián continued their heated conversation regarding Andres' remarks about Carolina. Raquel seemed ready to accept Andres' assertions that Carolina would do anything for money but Damián knew his cousin much better than that. Raquel said she was looking into things to prove her own suspicions, that Carolina was hiding something, as this would ultimately hurt Santiago. Damián tried to avoid further conversation on this, claiming to be very tired. As he started to leave the room he wanted to know why that was such a big deal to Raquel. She reminded Damián that Santiago was his friend and business partner. He asked what proof she had and she said “You know Andres; there was no proof.” Damián did an about face, deciding he needed to speak to Andres right away. As he left the room Raquel called Santiago's cell phone, which was in the bedroom on the nightstand near Carolina.

                    Papi Number 11, Kika’s Got Your Number!
    At Logatoys, Gladys tells Mau that Kika Braun is looking for him and she is there at the office, so Mau spruces up with a hair smoothing and mouth spray…which Fabian uses also. As they try to calm down, Mau tells Gladys to have Kika wait a moment.

    At La Chapianeca Restaurant, Juan Perez meets with Falcón and asks how he can be of service. After Falcón shows him his phone and tells him they must wait for orders, Perez agrees to wait, but wants to know who Falcón is and what it is he really wants. Falcón, however, replies that the less they know about each other, the better because, after all, his (Perez) name isn’t Juan Perez either. Perez backs down and agrees to wait for orders from higher up without any more questions. (OMG is it a Fisher Price takeover?)

    Papa a Toda Madre; Capiítulo 19, Friday, February 9, 2018; The Neighbors meet Rodrigo and Rafael, Renée’s new Tenants


    We left off yesterday with Mauricio meeting Kika Braun at the toy expo, who seems to recognize him, but he doesn’t seem to know her. But she being very beautiful and sexy, of course wants to know her and can’t believe he cannot remember her. [Don’t fall for this Mauricio, it looks like a trap!] She introduces herself and says that she thought he might have recognized her from being online. “My name is Chiquinquirá Braun, but everyone calls me Kika. See this magazine? I found you in this magazine.” Mauricio says, “It sounds like destiny to me, since this is such a coincidence.” The magazine refers to Mauricio as #11 most sought after bachelor. Maur says, “Well I know I didn’t make the top 10, but at least I’m still in the ranking, right?”

    Kika looks over at Mauricio’s display at the expo, and says, “Are those yours? Well I guess I’ll make the rounds here, but I’ll be right back.” Mauricio promises not to move
