Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/25/18 Chapter 83 Lunes: Sacrifices


Chapter 83: Sacrifices
I'm Christopher Mason. Everyone in modern society is told that they will make sacrifices for one reason or another. There can be sacrifices for love, for children, and for other reasons. But when is the sacrifice too great? In today's stories we will see several people for whom Sacrifices will have other consequences.
  • Nuria appeared behind Daniela as she argued her rights with Octavio. She stabbed her in the back at the waist, then took advantage of Daniela's shock to stab her in the stomach. The weapon was obviously a kitchen knife.
    “Nobody takes my son away from me!” she yelled visciously as her victim fell to the floor. “Least of all a monster like you!”

Corazon Que Miente, Week 4 (6/25/18) Monday Kickoff: Kisses 1 - Slaps 0

* Mariela is being wooed by Lisandro and wants to know if they can date. She says she’ll think about it. He’s even willing to help her with her land issue, regardless of what his dad says.
* Dem and Rog cook up a scheme to plant Noe’s fingerprints in Dem’s office, since they have no other evidence that he was the thief. Rog assures Dem Noé had to have been the thief.
* Santi tells granny Sara he thinks he’s at fault for Noe’s family disappearing. He was nasty to Lety. Sara doesn’t think Noé and Amalia would leave their jobs over that—and not talk to her first.
* Ren and Rafie chit chat about the party. Ren moons over Al. She hopes he comes. Rafie says being cousins makes no difference to her and Dem would be happy if his son gets interested in her.
* Dem breaks in on Sara and Fr. Daniel’s convo, regarding the Noé family. He says he fired the whole family because Noé was stealing the rent receipts—and he has witnesses. Sara defends them. Dem says he doesn’t want to see them around again. On his way out, Fr. Dan and Al exchange a few words. Basically, Al says he’s waited for years to punch Leo. He’s responsible for his mother’s death, whether or not he pulled the trigger. Dan says Leo loved Lucía. Al says that’s all the more reason for not forgiving him.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/22/18 Chapters 81/82: “Take ‘em away, kitten!”

Part 1:

DOWN IN THE ALLEY:

El Ciego and El Gato have the brothers Dorantes on their knees, pistols to their heads. Do you know who’s boss now? Do you? El Ciego makes them say it. The Fat Man is in tears, but Jacinto remains stoic. El Ciego holds the gun steady and very deliberately pulls the trigger.

Click. The gun’s not loaded! El Ciego cracks up. What a card. He waves everyone off with an insouciant “¡Llévatelos, Gatito!” (“Take ‘em away, kitten!”)


BUFETE CARLOS:

Carlos is having it out with Alan about the missing money. Alan points out that he needed to keep the despacho running while Carlos was in prison – a nice prison, by the way, as prisons go, and for that he needed to call in favors. That’s what you do for family. Carlos tells him that if all of this isn’t above board (I’m guessing the Ibarras use that term loosely), he’ll manage to forget he’s family. Nice try at being menacing, Carlos, but we’ve seen the big dogs, and you’re not one of them.

T.O.H.I.M.C.

Elena continues to display the personality transplant they accidentally performed on her when they were just supposed to be stitching her up. I have behaved so badly! I wasn’t fair to you! Ricardo’s all decked out in black and blue, which seems appropriate. Some cop guy marches in and tells her she needs to come down to the station and make her statement. Elena shouts, pouts, and whines (guess it was just a partial personality transplant.) Ricardo promises she’ll be there.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/21/18 Chapters 80/81: CYA Days

Parte 1~~
Replay: Leonardo takes a somewhat willing Olivia in his arms and asks her what will it take to demonstrate how much he truly loves her?   They kiss till Oli's overactive conscience takes over and she pushes away from Leo.  They cannot do this because she's dating Alan.  He apologizes for getting carried away.  She leaves him to sleep on the couch but relents enough to surprised him with a kiss to his forehead before retiring to the guestroom.

Meanwhile, at Paula and Alejandra's, Carlos swears to Ale, and a very skeptical Paula, that he had no idea that Benjamin Acosto was money-laundering funds given to The Foundation.  "--Remember Ale, it was you who recommended him to me.  But don't worry.  I will have a hearing where we advise all that you are totally innocent of this!   And, you know I will always protect you from whatever and whomever."  (Paula remains cool as a cucumber but is definitely fighting the urge to pay gut felt homage to the nearest toilet bowl.)

Corazon Que Miente, Week 3 (6/18/18) Thursday Update: The Slaps Just Keep on Coming

Episode #14 (Thu Jun 21)
1. Whoopee! Ren and Rafie overheard Rogelio boasting how the death of the doc made things easier for Dem. (Unfortunately, it wasn't just a few seconds earlier and it was Ren and Rafie who heard, not Mariela and Leo or Sara and Alonso. Well, we can’t have everything tied up in a bow 14 episodes in.) Alone with Ren, Dem explains how it really went. Rog tends to exaggerate. It troubles him because other people misunderstand. He explains in such simple terms even a kindergartner would understand that the doc’s house burned down AFTER they closed the deal. His passing away was a coincidence that happened to benefit them. Ren believes him. She gives him the little gift she brought and they share a hug. Ren indicates she no longer remembers a thing Rog said. Dem smiles and cups her face and tells her she’s a jewel, the daughter he never had (but doesn’t look at her that way as she leaves.)
2. Mariela accepts the doc’s job offer, but would like to work part time for a while. She’ll start in a couple of days.
3. Flo has had second thoughts regarding parental help with Santi. She asks her dad to ask Demián to put a little pressure on Santi. The men would form a Yentos tag team (note the masculine ending). He turns her down. He just can’t cross that line into the personal with Dem. Well, then he’d better be satisfied with her marrying any old body.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/20/18 Chapter 79 Miercoles: Words (#80 covered in the comments section)


    Chapter 79: Words
    I'm Christopher Mason. To anyone in the practice of law words are more than communication; they are weapons. Many people with less expertise use words to hit others with, but lawyers and politicians can and do use words with knife-sharp precision. In our story tonight we will see the direction of this war on all its fronts.
    • Jaime put the morning paper on the table and demanded an explanation from Jacinto Durantes. He told him in no uncertain terms that if he was deceiving him he would resign his case. Durantes told him he ha been in Alonso's office when the crime took place and he was fed up with lies being told about himself. He claimed he was fighting for his life.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/19/18 Chapter 78: The Vultures Begin Circling


    Victoria, Alejandra and Olivia return to Oli's office to begin the divorce papers for Benjamin's soon-to-be-ex, Karina who, with the new dye job Viewerville failed at first to recognize.

    Candy Man Miguel is there for supper again at Elena's.  He's brought gifts again for the kids.  She must head out for a few minutes to get something last minute and leaves Miguel in charge.  He is visibly uptight being left alone with a couple of kids he barely knows.

    Back at Vega and Associates (which may soon be two fewer in number) Benji and the now fully clothed Leticia scream and yell  at each other about who is really to blame that they've not only been found out, but that the spaghetti spined Benji didn't claim Leti as his one and only love and thereby humiliated her in front of his wife, not to mention the boss and half the law firm saw her practically naked in her Victoria's not so Secret bvd's.  Ben angrily tells her they're both to blame and that he's got much more at stake here than she does!  She eventually throws him out of the office and tells him not to rely on her for a single thing from now on.

    Corazon Que Miente, Week 3 (6/18/18) Monday Kickoff: The Slap Heard ‘Round the Lobby

    Episode #11    
         After Leo storms out of Mariela’s room without explaining why he doesn’t want her to wear the Lyin’ Heart pendant, Carmen comes in to comfort Mariela. She says it seems to have brought back painful memories, but she knows how Leo is, he’ll get over it and will explain it to her.
         Leo is in a local bar, drinking his way out of (or into) his depression. He calls the joven for a refill. Surprisingly, Rogelio is taking a break in the same bar and recognizes Leo immediately from his voice alone. He gets up and makes sure. Yep, it’s Leo. Somehow it pleases him very much to see him back.
         Rafaela and Demián have some pillow-talk in their huge double king-size bed (no doubt so they don’t have to touch each other—ever) before turning out the lights. Rafie thinks they should set Ren up with Alonso, who has no girlfriend, rather than Santi, who already has a formal relationship with Flo. Dem doesn’t think that is a problem, he can fall out of love easily with someone like Flo. Rafie will check things out. Dem decides he wants some nookie and overrules her wishes not to give him any. (We don’t have to watch.)

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/15/18 Chapter 75: ♫Oh What a Night♫, and Oh What a Kiss!

    Your court reporter, disguised as a tourist, is in Cancun, watching all the goings on with the Vega attorneys and other hangers-on. She also has reporters back in D.F. keeping an eye on things and reporting back to her. [P.S. Someone please let me know if this episode went to the Chop Shop].
     
    Benji is pacing around Leti’s hotel room trying to pull his hair out over being “found out” by Oli and Vicky. Leti is much more complacent about the whole incident. He tries to convince her for the millionth time that he doesn’t care about his wife, but he does about his son. She’s tired of his crap, for the millionth time and wants him to leave. He still wants to spend the night with her, but she doesn’t want to have to listen to his whining. He promises and chases her around the bedroom until she lets him catch her.
     
    The three Lady Rascals have gone for a fun run by the water’s edge. Carlos suddenly “shows up.” He wants to talk to Ale. She’s really angry with him. He can’t just show up here. These are her work colleagues. He says he can’t stand letting Bustamante trotting along behind her. Ale says they were out among friends and that includes Ric. Carlos knows he acted like a jerk, but he doesn’t want her angry with him. She must understand that he only wants to recover what they had before. Ale says it’s not working. With his attitude, she’s losing all the good memories of what they had. She marches off. Carlos says to the wind and the water that he can’t forget her.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/14/18 Chapters 73/74: Collisions at the Conference


        • Alejandra finds Victoria and Olivia and reveals her extreme frustration at being the bone Ricardo and Carlos are fighting over.  Somehow Carlos got into the conference and is now here. Vicki advises her that if she doesn’t want Carlos’s company then avoid him and assert herself. Refuse.  Yep.  That'll really work when Ale's like a she-dog in heat and Carlos--the wolfhound--can't stop sniffing around.

        • Susanna stays on the beach to enjoy the salt and sand adventure while her devoted son has to head off to the conference.

        • Back in Mexico City, Candy Man is waiting for Elena to join him for lunch.  She immediately goes into how the night they slept together and they woke up late the next morning and she raced home to find the kids had already called Ric to have him take them to school, etc., that then came the big row because she’d come home so late, and sob, sniffle, sob. She suggests that the only solution in keeping Ric from taking them away from her is to sacrifice her relationship with Candy Man—yes, give up being a good time gal again.  (Viewerville notes the selfish she-hound should have done this the first time he offered her a packet of nose candy and told her how great it would make her feel.)

    Corazon Que Miente, Week 2 (6/11/18) Thursday Update: The Alternative to Bestias

    Recommended by Alfredo. It’s not too late to catch up. Recaps for prior episodes are available (see the Index)
    Episode #9 (Thu Jun 14)
        Lety narrowly escapes a sexual assault by Rogelio with luck on her side. Her father comes looking for her. After Rogelio leaves, he cautions Lety for the millionth time that Rogelio is a bad man. Lety replies that she only has eyes for one. Her father knows Santi will never be for her. Lety says, we’ll see.
        Nosy Rafie tries to get information out of Renata by offering to help her unpack. Things go quite pleasantly. Rafie learns that it was Francisco that asked Ren to look up her tío Demián. Ren, in turn, learns Al and Santi aren’t Rafie’s own bio-kids and she’s Dem’s second wife.
        Santiago tries to convince his father that his idea is sound. A scruffy Dem rejects the idea and rebuffs his son, for the millionth time. (NOTE: Santi got his hair cut between the Patio meeting him yesterday and today. I’m also happy he changed into a maroon sweater later.) Dem forces Santi to have a “double” date with Flo and Ren—to introduce Ren to the sights around Puebla, so she doesn’t get bored. Dem sits down again, possibly hearing wedding bells for Ren in the not too distant future.
        Lisandro finally has it out with his father, Ed. He hates having to do whatever Dem wants, especially when it goes against his principles of fairness—in this case evicting folks. He hates this job and he hates the law, which he only studied to please his father. He quits. He wants to follow his dream of getting into public relations (out of one snake pit and into another, I’d say).

    Papá a Toda Madre, Último Capítulo: Part 2, 6/11/2018: After the Ashes Settle, Everything is Beautiful…In Its Own Way!



    Renée and Fabián are still on the phone. After Fabián hangs up, he tells María that he has to go out…they will be locked in and if they leave, he swears he will put Mauricio back in jail.
    At the hospital, Lili tells Pablo that she was very frightened. (Huh? What's up with that? Chicken.) Those guys wanted to take her, but luckily that didn’t happen. Pablo feels sorry for Baldo who ended up paying for something he shouldn’t have had to pay for. When Lili asks what they will do now about their own situation, Pablo doesn’t know, but suggests that they leave things as they are for now…because the reality is much more than the love they have for each other. As Lili agrees, Jorge approaches and tells Lili that Baldo is doing well and wants to see all of them. As they walk away, Lili turns back and asks Pablo if he isn’t going with them, but Pablo doesn’t think he should because it’s a family thing. Jorge urges him to go with them because he IS part of the family; so Pablo joins them with a big smile. (Awwww, how sweeeeet!)

    Corazon Que Miente, Week 2 (6/11/18) Monday Kickoff: Lucia Makes a Grand Exit

    Episode #6 - Monday, June 11
    Back at the crime scene, Rogelio has been watching the verbal exchange between Lucía and Demián and the awful aftermath. He runs toward the couple, picks up the gun with his handkerchief and pulls a screaming Dem off of and away from a mortally wounded Luci. Leonardo arrives 1 ½ minutes too late and Luci dies in his arms without telling him who did this to her, although he kept asking her. She had plenty of time to keep asking him to forgive her, though. He begs a passerby for help, but the next thing he knows he’s looking down the barrel of a police-held gun, to be questioned at the station.

    Rafaela tries to get Sara to admit she knows of Luci’s whereabouts. Sara and the rest of the family are still looking for Alonso, who turns up at Fr. Daniel’s church sanctuary. Fr. Dan sees him and gives him his usual speech about parents being without stain, hugging Al and silently beseeching His Heavenly Boss to forgive him this little black lie. Al wants to stay with Dan, but is told he’s old enough to confront his demons himself.

    Rogelio drives an out-of-control Dem back to the house. He must bring Dem out of  this sinkhole he’s thrown himself into, realizing he shot his wife to death. Rog “convinces” him that Dem didn’t shoot his wife and Rog saw nothing. He has him wipe his bloody hands on a cloth and sends him into the house. He’s to tell anyone who asks that he has a headache and that Rog took him to a meeting. After he’s gone, Rog chuckles to himself as he handles the bloody cloth—he has something on Dem now that will surely come in handy in the future.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/8/18 Chapter 70: Whining and Wining

    OFICINA CARLOS

    Elena turns nasty on Carlos real quick when she hears he's dropping her case. She taunts him about being afraid of The Big Bad Vega, but he doesn't take the bait. He explains that his friend Aaron will be the face of the case, but he'll still be pulling the strings from backstage. She allows herself to be mollified.

    CASA PAULA

    Alejandra returns home to the usual menopausal slumber party, replete with wine, cards, and full makeup. Her recap of the Case of the Two Bimbos turns into a PSA on making sure you don't die without a will. Lourdes promises to stop by the office so Ale can get her set up. Ale mentions that they'll even get Alonso to review the will afterward, so maybe she's trying to set her up in more ways than one.

    CASA ISA

    Gustavo phones up his ex for more catering porn. "Howzabout I bring over something hot for the three of us, bebe?" "Oh no, I'll cook something up for you [tee-hee]!" Isabel is actually wearing real clothes instead of looking like a toddler who's been allowed free range of her closet because it's her birthday. In a typical telenovela, this would probably signify a Change of Heart Makeover, but in this one it's hard to tell. And frankly, who cares?

    Last night, we left off with Fabian asking Anifer, “So, do you like your new bedroom?” But Ani says, “I want to go with my dad.” Fabian tells her, “In this house we are going to live like the family we are—with your mother and your father—that means me.” Ani says, “So are you two together again?” Maria say, “No, we are not together and that is not going to happen.” Ani then asks, “And what about Mauricio? Is he going to live with us too? Because this huge house is big enough for them to live here too!” Fabian says, “Well, maybe Renée could come here because she is your auntie. But as for Mauricio, let’s just say he will be living a life far from us. I don’t think you will ever see him again.” Ani says, “And why not? He is my daddy!” Maria tries to interrupt and say, “What Fabian is saying is something else…” But Fabian interrupts and says, “Hey there is something you are not understanding. If you are going to mention me in front of Ani, you better call me by what I am…her father, not ‘Fabian’. Is that clear?  And you, Anifer, you need to know what Mauricio did was very bad. And if you never see him again, it’s because the law says so, not me! The law. And while we are at it, you need to forget about your life with Mauricio and start your life with me—your father! Get that into your head now! That is just the way things are.” Maria just stares at Fabian with disgust.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/7/18 Chapter 67/68/69: Manipulation Is the Name of Their Game

    While  Juan is trying to put more points back onto the board with Fer at a swank restaurant post morning serenade, Elena is letting her new toy-boy score a few with her while her kids are left to fend for themselves.

    Exlena and Toy Boy are partying heartily at The Club. However, Toy Boy isn’t quite high enough apparently.  The next possible Mr. Right offers her something probably very wrong in the way of illegal substance which she has enough sense left at this point in the evening to refuse.  However, she is taken by the moment and swept away by a need for romance--and Toy Boy’s deep tongue probes.  (Blechhhh!)

    Papa A Toda Madre #101: The Cul-de-sac Crew is Accepting Brain Donations

    Or "What Was the Point of All of This?"

    Or Let's Be Honest....Kika is the Real MVP

    As Renee and Maria put Maria’s bags in Fabian’s car, Fabian texts his henchman to watch Renee, and then demands Maria help him find Anifer and Mauricio or both of them will pay for their crimes, dearly. Maria tells Fabian that she has no idea where they are, and she had nothing to do with Mauricio’s actions, but Fabian hopes she was smart enough not to defy him and risk losing Anifer. Both Maria and Renee wonder what to do.

    At Jorge’s, Dulce calls her contact to confirm if Isauro is still in jail. She confirms that he is and awaiting trial so Dulce smiles because there is no way he is getting out ever.

    Corazon Que Miente, Week 1 (6/4/18) Thursday Update: Fire and Brimstone

    Episode #4 (Jun 7)
    We return to Don Manuel's humble home in the country, surrounded by his lands. He's waiting for Mariela to return. Instead, he's knocked out by an unseen hand--to which Rogelio is attached. To add to the maliciousness of knocking out Don Manuel, Rogelio laughs as he spreads enough gasoline to send Don Manuel to the devil, in flames. Mariela arrives just as the flames reach the roof. She's beside herself with fear and grief. She knows her grandfather is still in the house. She heard him call out. She's yelling for help. Here comes Leonardo the Lionbearted [newly minted name by Susanlynn] to the rescue. He brings out Don Manuel's body, no longer among the living. This sainted doctor is knocking on St. Peter's gates, not Lucifer's. (You can tell by the choral music in the background.) Distraught, Mariela falls over her grandfather's body while Leo covers her with his arms. The house is nothing but a pile of charcoal briquettes. Over Mariela's objections, the EMTs remove Don Manuel's body. Leo takes her to Fr. Daniel's for the night while he attends to the arrangements for the funeral. Daniel tries to console Mariela, but she just wants to be with her grandfather.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/6/18 Chapter 66/67 Miercoles: Family Affairs


    Note:  Due to technical issues you have missed information pertinent to this tale.  We are working on the problem.  #67 events are listed in the comments.

    Chapter 66: Family Affairs
    I'm Christopher Mason. While many of us have been taught by our cultures that family is a sacred refuge, we learn that it can equally be a living hell. Identity theft is most common between relatives, incest is the crime nobody talks about, and – perhaps worst – most murders happen within families. Inheritance conflicts are likely to be the most common occurences of all. So while religious and social propaganda tell us about sanctuary, it is conflict that often dominates Family Affairs.
    • Alejandra and Ricardo discussed ending their relationship for the sake of his children. She said that they had to think of each other only as colleagues and he said they needed to keep their distance from each other otherwise. He said that being that close to her would provide too much temptation for him.

    Papá a toda madre Wednesday 6/6/18 Capítulo 100: Lambs on Parade to the Slaughter--OR--Jorge's Worst and Finest Hours


    The action continues in the cul-de-sac:

    Rodrigo goes out to greet the uniformed police officers who have arrived in the cul-de-sac while the drug dealer hides behind a fence and shrubbery between the houses.

    Dulce rushes out of her house, much to the fear of Baldo, pushing him aside. She tells Rodrigo and the other policemen in the street that she has a thief living in her house and has proof. She caught Baldo stealing money from her purse.

    Flor, who has been standing to the side with Rafael and Renée, overhears what is going on and sticks up for Baldo telling Dulce not to be such a pain. Dulce calls her a busybody. The drug dealer continues to watch. Rodrigo tries to quiet the situation down. One of the policemen informs Dulce that they are there to deal with a much more serious problem than a domestic complaint. Vero and Esperanza are drawn to the group to see what is going on. Everyone wonders what is going on.

    Papa A Toda Madre #99: The Curious (And "Magical") Case of Fabian Carvajal

    Or Daddy and Mommy Vs Daddy

    The judge informs everyone present that Anifer must not leave the city during the custody hearing and he authorizes that Fabian be able to see Anifer once a day during the proceedings. Everyone nods, and Jorge goes to tell the judge something as Mauricio and Maria wait outside, stressing out about the whole ordeal. Jorge arrives a few seconds later and reveals some good and bad news. The good: Mauricio can be present during Anifer’s visits with Fabian. The bad: Anifer will be stripped of the Lopez-Garza last name. Mauricio shakes his head, dejected.

    Pablo shows Lili their recently painted room and she smiles because it looks a lot bigger, with more light. Lili assumes their accommodations will be temporary as she receives a text message from Baldo. Pablo thinks they should have told Jorge that they were moving in today, but Lili reminds him that they are close, and they needed their space. Pablo nods and smiles, touching her stomach, and wishing that their family grows soon. Lili then asks to go to the bathroom but is horrified to find out that the bathroom is outside their room and it’s shared. Pablo shrugs, unsure of what to say.

    • Alejandra had lunch with Carlos and told him that she had had a relationship with Ricardo. She told him that the relationship ended because of Elena after she and the children saw them together at Ricardo's apartment. He then told her that he was Elena's lawyer and had filed for the restraining order that was keeping Ricardo away from Elena's children.

    Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 98, 6/4/2018: I CAN Live If Living Is Without You OR Georgie Boy Plays Hardball!!


    Alt. Title: The Fight for a Child Begins
    At Night—
    Jorge helps drunk-as-a-skunk Baldo to his bed as Lili brings a cup of coffee. Jorge comments, “Esto es el colmo!” (not a literal translation: ‘this is the last straw’ or ‘this is the limit’). When Lili tells Jorge that he went too far in going to the club for Baldo because he’ll lose face with his friends, Jorge doesn’t care…Baldo is his son and who knows how Baldo would have ended up that night; it was a dark place that destroys people…even Kika and her sister were there…and he argued with Kika. Just then, Baldo slurs that Jorge was an ass to have left that woman, but Jorge tells him they will talk the next day and leaves. Once alone, Baldo takes a tiny baggie out of his pocket and stares at it. (Correction Baldo: a DUMB ASS.)

    Corazón Que Miente, Week 1 (6/4/18) Monday Kickoff: Gran Estreno

    At last, it seems Televisa and Univision have come together to give Carayers a traditional telenovela with characters with very recognizable traits. From the beginning, there is no doubt as to who the protagonistas are and the antagonistas they are up against.

    This is Puebla, where the landscape is verdant,  the town vistas are inviting, the palette is bright and cheerful, houses are grand, but there are dark shadows in this two-dimensional world, including at least three separate staircases of doom. By way of  introduction to Corazón Que Miente, it should be noted that there is: The Unhappy Rich and Powerful Family; The Servants of the Rich and Powerful Family; The Not so Rich and Not At All Powerful but Happy Family; The Family Who Owes the Rich and Powerful Family Favors and Envies Their Wealth and Power; The Guy Who Has a Chip on His Shoulder; and Low and Behold, a Modern Day Plainclothes Priest. The Yin-Yang is embodied in sibling rivalries, family rivalries, lost and found loves, an infinite desire to enlarge personal wealth and an infinite desire to heal the sick and downtrodden. At the start, almost everything is in balance.

    Into this mix one man returns to the town of his birth, having become a successful sculptor elsewhere. He harbors deep feelings for someone which are unresolved. He will be the instrument to upset the balance. His godmother is waiting to pick him up at the airport. They find each other. She chides him for having been away for so many years and then they depart for the palatial house he left her.

    Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 97 (Univision 94), Friday June 1, 2018; Kika Tries to Come to the Rescue, but is thwarted later



    We open with Jorge on the phone with Samuel and Sammy whining about why he isn’t there on vacation with them. [Well Sammy, if your evil mother hadn’t hidden your siblings’ passports and identification documents, all of you would be there. But your dad did the right thing in staying behind. Stop whining.] Jorge asks him to give the phone to his mother because “these are adult things” we have to discuss and it’s “not your concern.” When he talks to Dulce, all she does is go on and on and nag about how he should be with them “the four of them, united as a family.” [This is crap Dulce! You didn’t care about that when you left Jorge for your criminal drug selling, human sex trafficking boyfriend!] This goes on for a minute or two when Jorge gets tired of her nag fest and hangs up on her. After hanging up, Jorge smiles at his twins and says, “Well, that’s that. I’m staying.”

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/1/18 Chapter 63: Love in a Time of Cholera Morbus*

    Greetings law and order enthusiasts (you know who you are)—your court reporter is back after a well deserved break from the shenanigans (both professional and personal) at the Vega and Ibarra bufetes. There are the absent police investigators, prosecutors, real evidence and long drawn-out trials. But we do have a dastardly new deadly bloody crime (for which I have a crackerpot theory). It seems that our Old Guard is pretty much up to their Old Tricks and the New Folks are interjected for our viewing distraction. But that’s not why I’m here. I’ll leave the whining and the griping to those over-age, well-schooled whiners and gripers. I'm here to report on last night's events. P.S. I noticed Elena drinking too much, too. Is that a bad sign or a good sign?

    *Cholera Morbus = A gastrointestinal disturbance characterized by griping……[Courtesy of Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary. There’s more, but it’s irrelevant for my purposes.]

    What does Love have to do with IT?
    Carlos loves money. He says he loves Ale, for whatever reason benefits him most.
    Fer isn't in love with Mi Johnnie anymore even though she promised not to be one of those jealous girlfriends.
    Oli is on the edge of falling in love with a man who presents himself as a decent, though deadly dull, caballero.
    Alan is already in love and ready to settle down, hopefully with Oli. Or is it a smoke screen hiding an evil (or hapless) alter ego?
    Leo is "professionally" jealous of Alan's attentions for reasons his colleagues find credible but counsel him not to share them with Oli.
    Victoria is in denial she's already in love with Roberto but won't take the next step with Vega's resident Lothario. Flirting is sufficient to keep him within range.
    Roberto loves Victoria and is chomping at the bit to make love to her.
    Leti and Benji are still in lust. (Ooops they just got caught again by Carmencita.)
    Ale and Ric the Bric-a-Brac must pretend they're not in love for the children's sake.
    Elena loves to hurt Ric and her children.
    Elena loves her tequila.
    Ric hates Carlos (and Elena).

    New Telenovela: Corazón Que Miente, Starts Monday June 4, 11 AM (EDT)

    Attention Diego Olivera fans. He's back. For those of us who have been waiting for him to get another plum role, after his success in Mujeres de Negro, this one is worth a try.

    Por desgracia, Corazón que Miente is coming to DAYTIME Univision (otherwise known as the vast Wasteland to where second tier telenovelas are banished when they don't fit into the nighttime schedule). Tune in at 11 am or set your DVR.

    Synopsis: Mariela Salvatierra is orphaned at the age of 12, after losing her grandfather, Manuel, a death she believes was caused by Demian Ferrer. Mariel leaves the city with Leonardo del Río. Leonardo believes Demian is also the murderer of Lucía, Demian's wife (and the love of Leonardo's life). Fifteen years later, the two return to avenge the deaths of their loved ones while facing great obstacles. Ferrer is a powerful, unprincipled and perfidious man who not only takes pleasure in others' downfalls, but also does not care about the well being of his own family. Mariela falls in love with Demian's eldest son, Alonso, with whom she was friends as a child. Mariela and Alonso must overcome all the challenges that impede their relationship in order to live their story of love. [Adapted from Wikipedia]

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/31/18 Chapter 62: The Rules of the Game

    ⦁     Carlos works his wizard of smart on the magistrate and gets Crazy Dude --who's obviously been without his nose candy a bit too long--out of jail.  It was a bad beating and the restaurant owner claimed it was because he wouldn't pay protection money to the cartel.  The magistrate wants to keep him and open a file on this.  Carlos says no can do.  It isn't legal and besides you won't find anything conclusive in the 48 hrs. he can keep him there for (I think was the argument.)

    And, while this is going on, Sonia notices it's Carlos who's the crook's mouthpiece and this is a totally odd type of case for him to have messed with.  Once Carlos has Crazy Dude released, he tells Mr. Clean that El Ciego is never to "invite" himself unannounced either to his home or his office like that again.  He can call him.  Mr. Clean tells him that El Ciego is a bit old fashioned and will be put out when he hears this. El Ciego only makes visits in person.  "--Are you threatening me?"  "--No.  Just telling you the rules of the game."  "--Yeah?  Well, it's to tamp down any suspicions."

    Papa a Toda madre #95/96 5.31.18: Bite You Once, Shame On The Snake, Bite You Twice, It's a Novela

    Capitulo #95: A Time Jump and a Smoke Signal

    Mauricio urges Anifer to tell him what Fabian told her, because she won’t get in trouble, and Anifer confesses everything and worries that he won’t love her in the future, because they aren’t blood related. Mauricio tells her not worry, because she is his daughter, no matter how old he gets. Anifer makes him promise, and he does, and also promises not to lie to her again, especially after lying about his relationship with Maria. Maria assures her that her relationship with Mauricio won’t affect her relationship with her, they are both adults, and came deal with their issues without involving her. Anifer nods and Maria also tells her that they won’t take her to see Fabian as often. Anifer worries that he won’t get better unless they visit him, but Maria tells her that his well-being doesn’t depend on them.

    The next morning, Jorge gets dressed as Dulce smiles from bed and asks if he wants to go for Round 2. Jorge tells her that he is in a hurry now, so she proposes that they do it that night though Jorge promises to let her know when it’s time. She smiles and announces that she’s going to show then but asks for a kiss. Jorge obliges and scurries out, afraid she will get grabby again, and Dulce screams that she loves him.

    • Elena told Alejandra in no uncertain terms that she did not want Ricardo near her children.
      “I don't want any father near my children who doesn't worry about them when it's so easy for him to abandon them for just any woman.”
      “Don't be such a manipulator,” was Alejandra's reply.
      “Does it look alright that they saw him [???] with another woman?”
      “I'd like to talk to them.”

    Papá a toda madre Wednesday 5/30/18 Capítulo #94: "You Knew I Was a Snake When You Picked Me Up"--OR--"No Matter How Much a Snake Sheds Its Skin, It is Still a Snake"

    Dear Patio Members, This most excellent recap is courtesy of Alfredo. The commentary in parentheses is all my own. Jarifa

    Anifer's teacher calls Maria to let her know that Fabian wants to see Anifer. Maria is shocked. (Did she expect him to play by the rules????)

    As Flor and Socorro get dinner ready, Socorro apologizes for ruining her peace and quiet and her beautiful house. Flor agrees and begins to call them all pigs as Ciceron arrives and asks Socorro for a coffee. She goes to make it but Flor wonders if he doesn't have hands to do it himself. Ciceron smiles and reminds her that he has someone to do it for himself, so he doesn't. Ciceron then notices that Carmelita's picture is missing and demands to know where it is. Flor tells him that she put it away and put a family picture (Neron, Milady and Flor) instead because it is now her house and not Ciceron's or Carmelita's. They begin to argue again about who own the house when Ciceron reminds Flor that Neron and her aren't married so, therefore, she has no rights to the house. He storms off as Socorro comes back with the coffee and wonders where he went or if he's mad. Flor is fuming. (Flor is into her perpetual grammar corrections: preterite tense second person singular does not have an "s" on the end which is something that Nerón, Socorro and Cicerón always want to add).

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/29/18 Chapter 60: A Very Vega Version

                                                     The Vega Family on the march.

    “Elena is a woman off her rocker!” Ricardo has reached his limit with her.  She’s unmasked herself in front of Ric The Brick's entire legal family.  Of course, Benjamin gets off a cheap shot about couldn't you've guessed and gotten out ahead of this?  It's your specialty, after all. He smiles knowingly at Leticia who’s also put in her three and a half cents’ worth of finger pointing and claiming her BFF, Vexlena's “got a possible good reason for this, HUH?” before Gustavo shuts her down and puts her in her place.   Still, Elexlena and Company have done just enough to drag Ric over the coals a bit more serving him so publicly in front of the entire law firm.

    However, the Vega Family closes ranks and it becomes A Very Vega Vision vitiating Vexlena's new found legal strategy.  Alonso says they’re in the tank with Ric and will help him overcome this injusticia.  Viewerville has flashbacks of the Brady Bunch ala Mexico, now all grown up and legal beagles for Firm Vega, El Justiciero.  Visions of viewing the Brady Bunch's Mexican cousins: The Vega Family on the legal march for one of its own.  “--One for all and all for one!!”—Oooops.  Sorry, that’s a different vision and the next country over, and a few centuries in the past.

    Ariel shows Renee and Mauricio the documents the private investigator gave him confirming that Noel was never in the rehabilitation clinic. Mauricio thinks Ariel’s story doesn’t make any sense, but Ariel explains that Noel could’ve been hiding out. Mauricio nods but Renee reminds them about the woman who called and told her Noel was at the bus station and left. Ariel doesn’t think so and promises to find Noel; Renee gives him a big hug as Mauricio watches.

    Dulce can’t believe Jorge doesn’t believe her when she said her savings come from years of hard work. She tells him that she could’ve left with all her money elsewhere, but she chose them over everything. Jorge nods but asks that she left the twins to him and she can take care of everything else while they get on their feet. Dulce smiles and caresses his hand, reminding him that the best part of a fight is the reconciliation, but Jorge rejects her advances.

    Chapter 59: Children's War
    I'm Christopher Mason. Normal peace between parents and children is valued often because it is scarce. Often when parents are trying to protect their children from deserved punishment or imagined wrongs there is what is called Collateral Damage. When children become adults there is often different conflict. When either side is in the wrong it is usually difficult to put it right. We therefore will now see examples of Children's War.
    • Ricardo and Alejandra talked briefly about the latest Elena crisis before taking leave of each other until the next day. They kissed, she left his office, and he looked at the photo of his children with great concern.

    DAY 1 ACTION...

    @T.O.P.S.I.M.C. (The Only Police Station in Mexico City):

    Curly-top Vicente has got himself a Curly-Top Lawyer who squares off with Carlos muy bien. No one seems to have much evidence, but then it's not that kind of show. 

    Carlos: Your client killed the minor character!

    CTL: My client says YOUR client killed the minor character!

    Carlos: My client says otherwise!

    CTL: Well, DUH.

    Vicente: I don't wanna go to jail!

    CTL: It will only be for a short time.

    Carlos: It will be for a wicked LONG time.

    CTL: Let's go outside and hold an impromptu press conference where we say the same things, but with more head-tossing and nostril-flaring.

    Carlos: Only if I can manspread all over the microphone.

    Papa a Toda Madre Capítulo 90, Friday May 25, 2018; Fabian may never walk again, or will he?



    (I’ve named this episode, “Fabian may never walk again” but since this is a TN, I’m banking that he will in a few more episodes have a “miraculous recovery.”)

    We begin with Lili and Pablo going apartment hunting. They eye one that is several stories high and looks like a decent place. So they go up to see it. Lili thinks it might be a penthouse, but it turns out to be a single, plain room, like an attic room. Lili is not pleased and you can tell that she does not want to live there. But Pablo has grand ideas about how he can paint the place, put in curtains and plants and make it a lovely place to live for them. Soon Lili is smiling and they kiss.

    At Jorge’s Dulce sets the table as Jorge is working on the household budget. It doesn’t look good and he doesn’t look happy. Dulce has a few ideas that don’t sit well with Jorge regarding Lili and Pablo. Jorge walks away saying, “My grandchild will be living here.”

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/24/18 Chapter 57: Life's Surprises Come In All Sizes


     
        • Ricardo and Alejandra finally spend the night together and in the same bed. (Viewerville was taking bets on whether he’d catch Ale’s zipper in that beautiful lace dress, but something tells me high maintenance Elena had trained him well!)

        • On the other side of town, Fer stayed asleep on the couch and Juan beside her.  She wakes up probably close to midnight and he wakes then also and walks her home.  Not to worry, his mama called hers and explained already.
     
        • At the scene of Imelda’s attempted murder, Alan and Carlos piece together the probable facts to the pictures.  Alan discovers some pomade that’s used for new tattoos in her room along with a diary/journal of sorts.  Carlos looks around and determines that Vicente’s DNA should be found on the drapery cord then it’s a slam dunk about the boy’s murder.  However, why would he attempt to kill them; there has to be some reason.

    Papa a Toda Madre #89 5.24.18: I Don't Want Her BUT You Can't Have Her Either

    Or When A (Man) Child Can't Share

    Noel tries to escape by holding the door open with his cane, but he is caught immediately, subdued, and dragged back to his room while the nurse injects him with his “medicine.”

    Tono and Veronica bring Fidel back home and let everyone know that he had nothing more than a stuffy nose. Tono then asks Esperanza to take the kids for a bath and she obliges, slightly annoyed. Once alone with Tono, Veronica asks him to lay off his mother, because everyone makes mistakes, but he thinks she’s too old to care for the kids and, therefore, doesn’t trust her. Either way, Veronica thinks they should care for the kids, if they are going to be home, but Tono is adamant that she’s too old (but still leaves them with Esperanza so he and Veronica can go to the cooperative company meeting).

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/23/18 Chapter 56 Miercoles: Traps


    Chapter 56: Traps
    I'm Christopher Mason. Rats come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. They are both scavengers and predators and they respect neither age nor assets. In our story tonight we will see several get very close to or fall into the traps set for them.
    • Alonso told off Marrufo, telling him that as soon as the rapists are sent to prison so will he. Marrufo – arrogant as usual – denied this, in the full belief that he was bullet-proof. Jaime told him that when he acquitted the rapists he abused their victim. He insisted that Alexa's accusations were false, which Alonso reminded him was not proven in his courtroom. Marrufo took out his cell, saying he was calling his lawyer. He thoroughly believed that he would get out of this cesspool of corruption.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/22/18 Chapter 55: Justice Comes A-knockin'

                                    
        • While Ricardo and Alejandra contemplate taking his kids to the amusement park, they enjoy a bit of diversionary lip-smacking themselves in his office.

        • Juanito is whining to his mother that he’s got too much to do to stay at home and have breakfast. Just then there’s a knock at the door.  It’s Fer and nope, she hasn’t had breakfast either.   They discuss her staying up all night and searching for some clue on the net about dead “dancer” Patricia’s missing-in-action boyfriend, Pedro.  And, well, she found an old resume still up on the net with a photo of him on it. (See, Johnny. Sometimes Mama does know best!)  Happy, happy! Joy, joy!!  Juanito attaches a “my love” to his excited comments.  Fer smiles that it’s the first time he’s done that.  They celebrate with a loving lip-lock as, we assume, Mama approves in the background.

    Papa a Toda Madre #86/87 5.22.2018: Not Knowing When To Give Up, Get Dressed, or Tell The Truth

    Or "Fired?! Again?!" God Bless Esperanza And Her Patience

    Hey All! Slicing and Dicing Has Begun! :( Please find the recap for 86 below and Jarifa's summary for 87 in the comments. Thank you! :)

    Dulce asks Jorge for some help because he’s making a lot of money at his new job, without doing much, but Jorge is sick of her and storms out of the house. He doesn’t realize, however, that he left one of the documents on the dining room table and Dulce gets her hands on it before inspecting the logo, looking for more information.

    Renee goes to her house and tells Rafael and Rodrigo that her house is almost hers again but she’s now unsure of what to do: stay and rent it out to them or finally sell it. She has to also consider how expensive Maryland is going to be before making a final decision. They nod and then Rafael goes to answer the door for Ariel before they both leave as they have to go to do a seminar at the police station for parents who are adopting. Once alone with Renee, Ariel invites her out for the night because he’s going back to the US tomorrow. She wonders why he didn’t tell her before, but Ariel is silent.
