Amar a Muerte, 3/7/19, Episode 85: Watch Out Kiddies—Daddy’s Back

To bring you up to date with our main transmigrated souls, here is a quick overview of Leon Carvajal and Macario, El Chino, Valdes, followed by Thursday night's highlights.

León Carvajal/Macario El Chino Valdés/Jacobo Reyes/Leónchi/LCJ/León
At the top of his game, León Carvajal, this scion of a successful media conglomerate, with a beautiful young trophy wife, two adult children and one nearly ready to fledge, is stabbed to death on his wedding day. End of story.

No, as prepared as he was to manage a large and diverse company with foreign business ties, meetings, daily reports, ratings, fiscal bottom lines, board of directors to head and a very public face, he finds himself in a world he merely reported on from the comfort of an executive suite. A handsome new and younger body is the least of this transmigrant’s problems.

He is dirty, smelly, in the hands of not so nice prison personnel. He’s being turned loose as his execution was not successful. He’s not even in his own country. Two women he does not know, claim him. He struggles to understand the unknowable. Before he can extricate himself from them and the poverty they live in, narco assassins come after him for some stash of money stolen from them and a hurricane destroys everything. He’s separated from these two who assured him his role is hired killer, suspected philanderer, husband and father, in that order.

Here's Page 2 for the week.  The current evening telenovelas are as follows (all times are Eastern Standard Time):

• 9-10PM—Betty en NY
• 10-11PM—La Reina del Sur - Season 1**

**The second season of La Reina del Sur will begin on April 22. To attract and  prepare viewers for Season 2, Telemundo is presenting a somewhat abridged version (la Edición Especial) of the highly acclaimed Season 1 in the 10 PM time slot beginning this Monday, March 4. I think the unabridged version is the best telenovela I've ever seen.  I suspect that even an abridged version will be well worth watching.  To make room for Reina 1, El Barón has been relegated to the 1:00-2:00 AM time slot.

Amar a Muerte, 3/6/2019, Episode 84: At Carvajal there is Good News, and Baaaaaad News




The good news is, Daddy is back, the bad news is Sister is leaving.
Previously: Eva walked into the editing room and saw everyone watching the special report on HER!

Eva tells Palomarez to turn off the television, she frantically tells everyone not to believe everything they see. Everything is false, they know she wouldn’t do something like that. She is going to sue that TV station for slandering her. She then orders everyone to get to work instead of standing around gossiping.

At Silvina’s house, Beltrino bangs on the door as he holds a bouquet of fresh flowers in his other hand. He yells out to Loopy and Juls. He knows she is angry, but he wants to talk it out. Just then, Tiberio arrives and tells him that they no longer live there, they left the city. Meanwhile, in their apartment, Lupita and Juls are washing dishes as Lupita confides in Juls that she dreamed of her father…it was odd…and erotic. Juls wonders how Lupita can be having erotic dreams of her father when she saw her on the couch with Pancho. Lupita reiterates that that is why it is odd, but it is one thing she and El Chino did very well. Juls is disgusted that Lupita may still be in love with El Chino. Ha ! Everybody else is.

Bouquets of different colored roses are being delivered to Imelda. She is looking for a gift card to see who they are from. She doesn't have to wait long since Nonno follows the roses and he has the gift card: The roses are in different colors because he didn't know her favorite/ He hopes she will forgive him and will understand that he loves her/He wants to capture her heart again.

Guido is in his office thinking of Yolo. He calls her and they flirt on the phone. She says that she played some mind games with her father who ended up paying for the room and now she is being punished for not coming home last night.  Guido clarifies that the room was technically paid for;  it was "comped" by a friend who is the manager. He asks if her father has any idea of what is going on between them.  She explains at first he seemed to know but she convinced him that Guido was not involved. Her father said  that he was a bad influence and that she should stay away from him.  Guido insists that he only wants to know her better. She wants to get to know him, too, but they will have to do it on the sly. He suggests they chat and write so she won't get lost. They both are going to be thinking of each other.

We open with Ernesto receiving a phone call; he thinks it’s going to be Yolo, but it turns out to be Ariana, his ex wife who abandoned him and the children. “Why are you calling me? Did you run out of money?” says Ernesto. Ariana says not to insult her she just wants to see her children. “I just want to see them and hug them, I’m their mother, Ernesto.” Of course Ernesto says NO and tells her that he doesn’t want the children to suffer anymore. “You are selfish.” Says Ernesto and then he hangs up on her.

Yolo and Guido lay in bed fully clothed and Guido tells Yolo that he can’t stop thinking about their kiss together. He kisses her again. Guido wisely stops before things get out of hand and tells her that she is not of age. So he leaves her there to sleep and says he will see her for breakfast. Yolo says, “Thank you for everything.”

Blanca and Eugenio try to figure out what to do about Polita as Ari is in tears.

Montilla is still in Johny’s office questioning Magda, the secretary. Once finished, he asks for a copy of Johny’s agenda for the day on which Susana was murdered. Montilla takes the cups of coffee and is about to leave when Lucía rushes in, but when she sees Montilla, she excuses herself and starts to leave. Montilla tells her he is leaving and regrets that Johny didn’t want his coffee. After Montilla and Magda leave, Lucía asks what happened with Montilla. Johny assures her everything is well, but wonders what is going on with her since she looks so upset. Lucía doesn’t know whether to call it a miracle or craziness…Jacobo Reyes is León Carvajal! Johny smirks and wonders if she is going to continue with that nonsense; those are ideas of the common folk. Lucía swears that this is different; she just came from talking to Lupita, Jacobo’s alleged wife. Lupita confirmed it; there is a different person in her husband’s body. Johny thinks it’s something that many wives say; maybe they got together and want money or he is lying to her. Lucía also went to see Camilo who also confirmed that LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) is León. Johny insists that Cami is Jacobo’s friend and is defending him, Lucía points out that Cami is also a scientist with an impeccable reputation; they call this transmigration of souls. Johny argues and tells her to think it through because he doesn’t have time for her stupidities…their boat is sinking and she comes with this nonsense. Lucía gives up and storms out.  (And takes her shark repellant with her)

Amar a Muerte, 3/1/19, Episode 81: So Hard To Believe?


In the darkened theater, Lucia tells Jacobo, aka León, that what he's telling her is impossible.  How could he expect her to believe such a cruel thing?  Jacón replies that he's asked himself a thousand times the same thing.  She insists León died in her arms and she herself saw him buried.  Now he expects her to believe he was [like Dios] brought back and arose three days later?  "--NOT three days later--it was the same day!"  She accuses him of playing a disgusting trick on her.  He mentions things the two of them alone would have share: the origamis birds because she felt jailed and wanted to fly away; the dinner in Paris where she learned to eat snails; and the tea they had in Japan served by a geisha.  "--Come closer, Lucia.  I know that it is strange.  The body is Chino Valdez but the soul is my own.  I am León Carvajal.  It's name is transmigration of souls and that's what happened to me the day of my death."

Johny speaks to one of the security or police to trace Lucia's phone so he can "rescue her from a very dangerous man."  

Lucia races back towards the lobby telling Jacon that it's superstitious rubbish; a person dies and that's that.  He insists to her that it isn't that easy and it is something he had to come to terms with and accept.  She insists he's lying to her and is NOT Leon because he loved her and wouldn't dare pull something so nasty on her.  He already admitted he hates her.  He declares that he finally understood he had to accept it all when he watched his widow and his former right hand man and best friend discussing how they had planned his murder.  "--So how did you divine that?  He yells back that he didn't have to.  He viewed it all through the cameras he had placed throughout the entire house and watched it from that secret room they discovered a few days back.  One of those cameras was placed in her studio.  "--And shall I relay to you what happened next?  Because I have the time to!!"  "--I am not going to play your little game!!"  She races out into the street just as Johny pulls up.  She gets in and tells Johny to floor it.

Previously: Lucía sent a message to LCJ that she has come to a decision and needs to talk to him right away. Mateo caught up with Eva as she was leaving Alacrán’s hideout. Eva’s lies didn’t help a bit; Mateo knows she’s been coming to see Alacrán.

Eva nervously stutters, so Mateo tells her not to deny it. Eva insists that she isn’t denying anything because she isn’t doing anything. Mateo knows she was with El Alacrán, the mob boss of the Cartel de los Sierra. Eva shushes him and tells him to calm down; she has no idea where he gets his ideas. When Mateo asks what she was doing there, Eva tells him she will explain…she continues with her pathetic story of getting lost; so Mateo orders her to stop and asks why she continues her lies. Eva wants him to stop yelling at her; and when he insists that she has been going there to see Alacrán with whom she gets along very well, Eva turns around and gets in her car because it is very dangerous there.

Amar a Muerte, 2/27/2019, Episode 79: Gypsies in the Castles, can Candy, Loopy and Juls get a place together?



Previously: Lucía told Candela to pack her things and leave. Vale asked Juls if she had sex with Sergio. LCJ went to see Mateo to talk to him about Eva, he thinks Eva was being coerced into the money laundering business. Mateo gave him a shocker when he told LCJ that Eva was also doing the horizontal mambo with Alacrán.

LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) doesn’t believe it, but Mateo assures him that he saw it with his own eyes. LCJ wants to know what Mateo heard, so Mateo tells him that Eva told Alacrán that if he died, she wanted to die too because she loves him. LCJ thinks Mateo must be mistaken. Mateo wishes he was mistaken, his whole life has been a lie…his marriage…and now he doesn’t even know if the child Eva is having is his. LCJ wants Mateo to talk to her so she can explain, but Mateo knows she will continue lying. He had already asked her about the money laundering and all she did was lie to his face. Mateo can’t trust her, what he has to do is go to the newspaper and publish his report….if they won’t do it, he’ll go to the competition. LCJ heatedly tells Mateo to calm down, the baby might be his and they could be blackmailing Eva. Mateo retorts, “Oh, yeah! They put a gun to her head so that she could be rolling around with that criminal! That’s what happened! Enough! I have to bring her down, that’s what I need to do!” LCJ yells that what he needs to do is not act on impulse. Mateo gets his laptop and starts to leave, but LCJ blocks his way.

Amar a Muerte, 2/26/2019, Episode 78: A Hard Fall from Grace



Eva arrives at Alacrán’s hideout and is patted down before she enters to see Alacrán. After she and the goons enter, Mateo cautiously comes out from the side of the building. He doesn’t dare go inside, but finds a scaffolding leading up to the second floor and starts his way up.

At Barb’s house, LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) laughs as he teases Camilo for trying to be a jokester in his old age since he is trying to make him believe that his daughter is laundering money for the Cartel de los Sierra. Cami chides LCJ for thinking that he would go there just to say jokes so that LCJ can have a good time. When Cami tells LCJ that Mateo went to his house, LCJ asks him to tell him exactly what Mateo said.  Mateo told Cami something very serious—the Carvajal Group is involved in money laundering. Cami asks LCJ to think about who heads the company if not Eva. LCJ thinks that the idea that his daughter is laundering money in the company that he built is crazy. Cami asserts that Mateo arrived at his house and he has evidence. This is a critical situation since LCJ has been marked as a sicario. LCJ wants to go talk to Mateo so Mateo can explain it to him, but Cami tells him he can’t; Cami is there so LCJ can tell him what he needs to do.

Amar A Muerte, 2/22/19, Episode 76: Goons And Gálans To The Rescue

Parte 1~~

 So, via Lucia's directive, the news gets out. Guillermo's stint in jail gets publicized nationwide with a sympathetic slant  (natch):  "--The young heir to the Carvajal news empire hoping to fashion his own road to success fell victim to a youthful and spirited horseplay which turned into a tragic accident.  As one can see (and of course, the liquor store owner and his wife just happen to be in the audience), the young man was not aware of what was about to occur and once he saw what his friend intended, he tried to avoid the gun play but the bullet went astray and tragedy struck.  Now all of Mexico is on the edge of their seat wondering what his fate will be."  Mrs. Liquorstore Owner angrily calls the news broadcast manipulative--and she ain't wrong.  Mr. Liquorstore Owner is thinking things over and seems to have a different twist on it all.

A bit later in the day, Valentina races into Montilla's office asking him to rescue Juliana from the same men who once kidnapped her mother.  He says he'll try but ain't promisin' nuthin'.  She races back out in a snitfit.

Amar a Muerte, 2/20/2019, Episode 75: DRAT, Now where did I put dem bullets?



Previously: Lucía asked Camilo if he thought she and Johny were León’s murderers.
Camilo laughs it off and assures Lucía that he could never think she would commit such a crime. When Lucía asks about Johny, Cami confesses that he thinks Johny is terribly wicked, calculating, and a game player, if Jacobo accuses him there must be a good reason. Cami adds that that is a conversation that Johny and Jacobo should have, it’s not any of Cami's business. Lucía asks Cami not to be a hypocrite, he is good friends, and probably an accomplice, with Jacobo and surely, Jacobo has told him that they had a relationship. Cami remarks that Jacobo is the problem. Lucía gets annoyed and asks what it is they want…do they want to drive her crazy? Cami denies wanting to make her crazy and reiterates that Jacobo is the one that needs to have that conversation with her.

At Beltrino’s house, Alicia watches one of Beltrán’s lectures where he presents information on Plato and his theory that purports the passing of certain psychic abilities from body to body after death. She continues to listen as a woman in the audience, Micaela Robles, affirms that the transmigration of souls does exist…because she is a transmigrant. Alicia is shocked, but writes down the name.

At Barb’s house, Barb has microwaved something for León since her cooking is a joke. She asks LCJ to tell her more about Vale and Juls, but LCJ doesn’t think he needs to go into detail. Barb cackles as she thinks about the face Beltrino will make when he finds out. LCJ scoldes her for laughing and asks if she thinks that this is really funny, Barb admits that it is, but she doesn’t think it’s a coincidence…it’s destiny. LCJ and Beltrino were meant to meet through the transmigration of their souls or through their daughters…or maybe one thing happened so that the other might occur. LCJ agrees that there has to be a purpose for all of this…maybe so that he can help Betrino save his daughter, but there has to be something more.

Linda starts to react saying that none of this was necessary. She had been to the doctor already and wasn't infected. The family starts to pile on. Blanca says "Thank God" but that does not take away from the fact that she COULD have been infected. Eugenio reminds her that this shows that Linda wasn't taking care of herself. Imelda adds that the case could be that Linda was having sex with several different people. Linda  loses it and screams that it wasn't like that.  Furthermore, her private life is her private life.  Why does Imelda want to control everything? Imelda never should have looked at her phone in the first place. She invaded her privacy. Imelda guesses it was with her cousin, right?

Fernando decides that maybe the dog had enough of the bone. Some dogs have allergies to them. Frida takes it away. Hermoso just lies there. Frida looks at the end he chewed.

At the Carvajal house, Mateo is sporting a big smile as he thanks Eva. He can’t wait to see her stomach grow and feel the small kicks. He wonders if it will be a boy or girl…and has a list of names to choose from. He wants the baby to have her eyes and smile. They will be three now. He won’t be getting up during the night and can just imagine how cranky Eva will be. When he sees that she is not as enthused as he is, Mateo assumes it’s because of her family and tells her to let it go; it’s not her responsibility to fix everything that happens in that house. Eva assures Mateo that she will be happy, but she needs time. After Mateo leaves, Eva cries in anger and hits her stomach with the pillow. Ah, sweet Motherhood. Viewerville hopes you are in labor for eight and a half months.

Amar A Muerte, 2/15/19, Episode 72: They Can't Handle The Truth Or In Need Of A Few Good Believers


Parte 1~~

While Guillermo thinks back over and over again to his careless adventure at the liquor store, Dr. Camilo Guerra ponders his sleepless night and the mysterious, mystical events of the day before.  He and his housekeeper worry that members of La Sierra Cartel will return there in their search for El Chino.

El Alacran is planning on doing just that and says to Gancho, "--The old doctor doesn't have any idea of what's waiting for him!"

Lupita comments to Panchito that she's wondering where her poor daughter slept last night.  Could something have happened to her.  Panch tells Lupi not to worry, that the girl is old enough to take care of herself now.  (Viewerville thinks that should anybody attempt anything with Juliana, that nasty, rude and thankless bitch, it's them that need to be careful!)  Perla calls to inform Lupi that Jules slept there last night and is working there with her.  Panchito says let her alone for a while but Lupi will go to check on Jules without him.

Alicia is still having difficulty believing the tale Beltran, aka El Chino Valdez, has told her.  He recalls to her the different doctors, fortune tellers, shamans and witchdoctors he's gone to trying to learn how and why he was brought back from the dead and put into her husbands dead body.  All his strange disappearances, he admits, have been due to meeting these people and his looking for answers.

Valentina reaches out to Jules via text.

León, aka Jacobo, and Cam discuss the supposed "grave robbing" of the night before.  Jake admits digging up the grave but insists the body was not in the coffin to begin with.  Somebody must be walking around in his body somewhere!

Mi marido tiene más familia Friday 2/15/19 Capítulo 109 Letting the Dust Settle and the Plots Brew

Susana calls Dani and tells her about her wedding predicament. Can she help her out? Dani takes one look at the babies and decides she could use more money. Yes! She can help Susana out. Susana is relieved.

Neto lectures his kids that the end never justifies the means because everything can get so quickly out of control.

Guido is still very upset back at the distillery. Luigi tries to calm him down saying it was only a prank. They are only children. Guido insists they could have killed him. He blames it all on the dog.

Pancho tells his kids that he thought they had all learned their lesson with the fireworks incident. Julio insists this was different. Pancho disagrees and explains it is all the same.

Yolo thinks the prank was just an eye for an eye. Neto says that is how everyone ends up blind. He explains that you fix things by talking to people.

Pancho says somebody has to put a stop to this all of this and if they won't,  he will.

Actually, considering the supernatural events from the outset it is already in force. The transmigration is just the torture before the end. There were lessons to be learned while some do not appear to have landed yet and lots can still happen before the end. Let's get started in the usual manner:

-- What do you think the writers will do to them?

Mi Marido Tiene Más Familia, Capítulo 108, Thursday, February 14, 2019: Guido admits he murdered his parents



We begin where we left off yesterday, with Polita talking with her lawyer about this custody hearing. She explains how perfectly happy Arquis is living with her and Ari and that her mother in law is behind all of this because she is so closed minded and prejudiced. She also explains how hard she is working to support them and even taking the 2nd job selling juices.

At Grecia’s office, she questions Eugenio on why he thinks that Ernesto could be his son. He finally tells her that he can’t quite explain, that it’s a matter of what he feels in his heart.

While Blanca is cooking, Daniela comes running in asking for help with diaper changes. Then Daniela asks Blanca what is wrong and “Are you and Papá still arguing?” “No” says Blanca, “I’ve decided to preserve the peace here and hoping that the ‘first love’ stays in the past.”

Amar a Muerte, 02/13/19, Episode 70: Guille's Baby Anvil Lands, Big Ones Jockey for Position



At Barb’s house, Cami is on the phone with Mercedes who tells him, in a panic, about Alacrán and his goons coming in and ransacking the place. Cami tries to calm her down and tells her that the important thing is that nothing happened to her. After he ends the call, Cami turns to LCJ and tells him that it is confirmed…they destroyed everything. After LCJ apologizes, Cami assures him that they are in this together. LCJ is leery about Beltrino and Barb, so he tells Cami that he will leave first and Cami can follow afterwards. Barb is happy that they are leaving so her things won’t get destroyed too, but Beltrino insists that this is the safest place on the planet for LCJ. He tells Barb to let LCJ stay until the Doc can figure out a way to help them so he can get his body back. When Cami comments that he cannot help Beltrino with that, Beltrino suggests that Barb summon Death so she can speak to the Doc.

Cami stresses that he is a scientist and abides by certain rules. Beltrino points out that there are no rules in this area…Cami should have figured that out already. He continues that Cami is the person who is most versed in that room, maybe he can interpret what Death tells Barb…they can ask Death how they can resolve this. Cami questions if he can really talk to Death, so Beltrino clarifies that Barb will be the one to talk to Death. Beltrino sits Barb down and orders her to summon Death…maybe they can ask their questions through her. As Cami starts to insist that he cannot help them, they all feel a presence…and Death Chick looks Cami straight in the eye and doesn’t look happy.

We begin with Neto on the phone with Arturo who has just been able to go inside Neto’s Miami home. He tells Neto that the place has been emptied out, as if burglars came in and took everything. There are few things left, some clothes, and other miscellaneous items, but mostly everything is gone, even the computers and the children’s laptops. While he is on the phone, Guido rudely interrupts and says, “I want to see you now!”  He asks Guido to please wait because he is on an important phone call regarding the property he left behind in Miami. Guido agrees to wait. Guido is not happy about Neto’s report that the mescal is watered down. Artura says he will send whatever is left to him. Then Neto tells his children the bad news.

At the burned children’s foundation, Linda recalls how Clarisa told her that she needs to speak with Axel about something and it should be immediately. Linda puts the thoughts out of her mind as she sees Maria sitting by herself. She goes over to offer Maria some lunch and tells her even though she isn’t that good in the kitchen, she made some great peanut butter sandwiches.  But Maria says she isn’t hungry. “Not even for a small bite?” says Linda. As Maria pulls out the apple and reaches for the sandwich, Linda notices a burn mark on Maria. Maria goes to cover and hide it.

Amar a Muerte, 2/12/2019, Episode 69: Body and Soul Reunion



At Barb’s house, LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) and Beltrino sit down for a chat as they stare at each other. LCJ assimilates the idea that he is looking at the actual El Chino Valdez. Beltrino declares that that is his face and body; he’s been looking for him for quite some time. Since Beltrino saw him briefly at the hospital; he has not been able to sleep peacefully. LCJ realizes that is why Beltrino saved him from the narcos. Beltrino agrees; he wouldn’t want his body to leave filled with bullets. When LCJ scoffs that Beltrino is the real one they should be looking for, Beltrino tells him not to believe everything they say about him. LCJ chides Beltrino; he has no idea of the problems he has had because of him. Beltrino retorts that that was not his intention. LCJ then asks about the body that El Chino is occupying; so Beltrino tells him about being a university professor who has a family, even a dog…but a boring life; the professor died in an accident. Beltrino can’t get accustomed to talking to his body, his face that he grew up looking at every day; he grabs LCJ’s arm and demands that he give him his body! (Oh, sure, here ya go, but only if I can have my body back too!) After LCJ pulls his arm away, they both sit back to relax…NOT! Just then, Death Chick makes a bell ring (Round 1?), but as Beltrino looks, he sees no one. As they both sit up to take a good look, a black butterfly flies away…and Death Chick smiles. (There's a girl like Death Chick in every class. What she doesn't have in looks she makes up for in 'Fun Factor'.)

Amar a Muerte, 2/11/19, Episode 68: Beltran Finds His Body, But Someone Else is Using It.

Some nasty little gremlin messed up my DVR—it didn’t record the episode, so I can’t go back and see what I missed. I hope someone can help fill in the gaps or correct what I got wrong. Here goes—

* In the underground garage of the hospital, Beltrino at the wheel, orders a very weakened LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo/Jake) into the car. LCJ hesitates momentarily. It could be someone who is still out to kill him. He’s persuaded and just then gunfire erupts everywhere. They head for the exit. Meanwhile Luci is still trying to get in to see Jacobo.  Finally, the police roll into the garage. More gunfire. El Alacrán and Gancho are in the midst of the shoot-out. Just as the Patio is holding its collective breath for Beltie and Jake to get away a car blocks them. SH*T, it’s Fabian, pointing a gun at Jake through the window. The next thing I know, he’s in the back seat still pointing a gun at Jake. He makes Beltie give him his gun and there he sits, a two-fisted gunslinger ordering them to take off. Beltie floors it.

Mi marido tiene más familia Monday 2/11/19 Capitulo 105 Settling In

Neto notices the expressions on Imelda's and Audifaz's faces and asks if there is something wrong with what he said.  Audi says no and Imelda says that they never heard that name before. Neto explains it is from  Nahuatl and means heart. His mother was born here is Oaxaca so this is the country of his mother and of his ancestors. He feels as if destiny has brought him back here  to start over with his children. Neto asks them again to reconsider his request.  Suddenly, Audi says he thinks they might be able to come to an agreement. Another rent coming in is never a bad thing. Imelda  smiles and says they will discuss it and get back to him.

Still at Susana's, Yolo makes herself at home next to the pool with a glass of orange juice. Grecia recognizes her bathing suit on Yolo. Yolo had nothing and wanted to go out by the pool.  Grecia tells her it would have been better if she had asked.  If she had asked her to loan her a swimsuit and sunglasses, she would have said yes.  Yolo  knows it is a loan and she will return Grecia's things later.  Grecia tries to maintain her patience. As Grecia turns to get some sunscreen, Grecia looks at her  back and sees what she thinks are stretch marks and remarks how ugly they are. Grecia is suddenly back in her head upset and crying with blood all over her repeating "I killed him." Grecia calms herself down and she tells Yolo they are not stretch marks but even it they were it would be okay because they would be something natural. Yolo remarks not on her and calls Grecia "Greasy".

Parte 1~~

  • Beltran, aka Belchin', aka El Chino actualmente, has just seen the news bit about Jacobo Reyes, Heroe Del Momento--and co-transmigrante, León Carvajal--who is now recovering at Northway Hospital; he flies out of Javier's hospital room to seek the man who is wearing his body.  Alicia and Jav are left eating his dust as usual.
  • At the same time, Johny Corona--everyone's crown of thorns in their backside--is otherwise occupied nosing around Susana's computer and trying to see if her latest composition is possibly on her screen which she's dutifully locked.  The paper's editor walks up to see if he can be of assistance.  With the ever-present contrived Corona constipational smile of obligation, Johny pretends to take Mr. Editor into his confidence.  There's some suspected extortion and they--the police--need to check Susana's computer today.  "--Keep her out of the office today while we check her computer.  Don't let on to A.N.Y.B.O.D.Y."  
  • Back on campus, Sergio tries talking to Lucho about Valentina's sad situation.  Lucho is sick to death discussing Val and her idiosyncrasies any longer.  Sergio tells him to get with it and with the times.  He should feel some sympathy for her since her gay love life has turned tragic owing to the fact that Juliana is leaving the country with Mama shortly.  (Yawn.  FF>>FF>>)

Grecia tries to put on her counseling hat with Neto's  kids saying that they went through an intense experience and that she understands how they are feeling. Yolo doesn't think she understands how SHE feels.  Yolo explains how they lost all of their stuff, their home,  their friends, their whole life.  Crisanta asks if their mother came with them, too. Santi is about to answer but Andi cuts him off saying that they do not know where their mother is. She left them a long time ago. Yolo makes it clear again that she hates being there.  Grecia tells her you can always start over again.

    At Silvina’s house, Lupita continues to try to convince Juls that the man she saw at Vale’s house is not her father. The man has her father’s body, but he’s not El Chino; his name is Jacobo Reyes. When Juls asks how she knows, Lupita confides that LCJ (León/Chino/Jacobo) told her when he went to drop off some things that Sra. Silvina sent them when they first moved there. They were both surprised. Juls doesn’t think that what Lupita is saying makes sense. Lupita agrees, but he finally convinced her that he wasn’t El Chino. Juls asks who he is if he isn’t El Chino. Lupita responds that all she knows is that his name is Jacobo Reyes. He treated her well and she wants to keep her promise that she won’t reveal that he isn’t El Chino. Juls reminds Lupita that El Chino is a sicario; he can make up whatever story to get into that house and do whatever they asked him to do. When Juls insists that he is lying, Lupita pleads with her not to tell Vale that her chauffeur lives in El Chino’s body. Juls definitely won’t tell Vale…because Vale will think she is crazy.

Mariela points out that the man escaped and there is nothing Fabián can do; he should think of his son. Fabián is definitely thinking of his son, what will his son think of him when he grows up and finds out that his father did nothing to catch his grandfather’s murderer. Mariela insists that is what happened and there is nothing he can do. Fabián, however, is determined to return to Mexico.

    Amar a Muerte, 2/4/19, Episode 64: Guns and No Roses




    Since I've been a little under the weather, this is a little late. At least this was a Johny-free episode.

    Jacobo and Camilo had a heated discussion in which Cam tried to tell Jake that he should tell Lucia the truth. He said he couldn't because it was so unbelievable and besides it would blow his entire plan. He would lose everything, including his children. Camilo suggested he rest on it, but he replied he couldn't. He needed to talk to Lupita.

    Mi marido tiene más familia Monday 2/4/19 Capítulo 101 Another Day, Another PSA: Chlamydia!--OR--Neto Loses Round One to Grecia

    Neto and Grecia argue back and forth about whose red snapper is it.  SHE needs it for something very important. HE needs it for a family tradition. She asks the vendor who got here first. He wasn't watching. Grecia tells Neto the snapper saw.  Neto hates to be the one to tell her that the  snapper is dead and isn't seeing anything.  Next she says that the snapper saw them both and has decided it wanted to go with her.  Neto, always a step behind in this argument,  says the snapper saw him first and wants to go with him. The vendor suggests filleting another fish.  No way, they both want THAT one.  Grecia is going to  treat the fish affectionately and starts to pet it.  Neto flings  her hand off the fish and starts to pet it himself. Grecia launches into the topic of there not being enough gentlemen these days. How can someone as big as he is,  act like that with such a small woman as herself?  As he towers over her, he insists he is a gentleman and that he cannot help it that she is such a short thing.  Grecia drags over a box and gets eye to eye with him.  Neto accuses her of cheating. She tells him that since he is gentleman, she will be taking the fish and preparing it as deliciously as possible.  She hands the snapper to the vendor to bag. She tells Neto goodbye and climbs down from the box.  Neto thinks this is ridiculous fighting over a fish.  Grecia tells him there is a first time for everything.  The  vendor puts the fish in a plastic bag and hands it to Grecia. She tells Neto "See you never!"  He tells her the same.

    TELEMUNDO Y MÁS (#1): Jugar con Fuego, Betty en NY, El Barón, y más: Week of February 4, 2019

    Welcome to Page #1 (Monday edition) of the Telemundo y Más page, issued twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00 PM.

    Here are the current evening telenovelas (all times are Eastern Standard Time):

    • 9-11PM—Jugar con Fuego**
    • 9-10PM—Betty en NY (begins Wed., Feb. 6)**
    • 10-11PM—El Barón**

    Because the State of the Union speech has been rescheduled for 9 pm on Feb. 5, Jugar con Fuego will end with a two-hour segment on Monday, Feb. 4. El Barón will therefore not be seen on Monday but will appear as usual at 10 pm on all other days. Betty en NY, a new novela based on the very popular Colombian novela Yo soy Betty la fea and the more recent Mexican version, La fea más bella, begins in the 9 pm time slot starting on Wednesday.

     According to Wikipedia, "[Betty en NY] revolves around Beatriz Aurora Rincón Lozano, an intelligent and capable young Mexican woman who lives in New York City who goes after her dreams, overcoming prejudices in a world where image is everything. After suffering six months of rejection in all jobs that she applies due to her lack of physical attractiveness, Betty decides to accept a job far below her abilities. Thus, after entering the sophisticated fashion company V&M Fashion, she becomes the personal secretary of the company president. Although she is ridiculed and humiliated on a daily basis for being completely lacking in style, Betty is more than willing to not be defeated in this ruthless war of appearances."  Elyfer Torres will star as Betty, along with Erick Elías, Aarón Días, and Sabrina Seara.

    Mi marido tiene más familia Friday 2/1/19 Capítulo 100 Temo Has "You Only Live Once" 's Number--OR--Neto the Self-Starter

    Pancho brings Neto and the kids to the apartment building in La Burra.  He takes them to the bakery and explains  that his apartment is upstairs and they can stay with him.  Ernesto thanks him but says they will find a hostel or somewhere else to stay. Yolo doesn't like what she is hearing. Neto says there is no choice because he will not allow them to sleep on the street.  Santi is hungry and Andi is, too. Pancho  will make sure that they fill their stomachs in the bakery.  The other kids come running  into the bakery upsetting a glass of milk that ends up all over Yolo. Julio crushes Andi's glasses when they fall off.  Yolo overreacts. Temo tells her it was all an accident. The kids didn't do it on purpose. Pancho says he can get it all fixed. Yolo tells Pancho that maybe he should look after his little monsters. Temo tells Yolo to calm down. Pancho gives Yolo the keys to his apartment so she can clean the milk off of her clothes.  The two groups of kids stare at each other.

    Eugenio is remembering what he went over in therapy. Giving himself his butterfly self-hug,  he remembers that her name was Yolo Rey Bautista and she was his first love. As he is repeating her name, Yolo is trying to open an apartment door with a key but it is not working. She turns to go back downstairs and runs straight into Ari who is carrying flour. She asks if everyone in the building is blind. She is now covered in flour on top of the milk.

    Amar a Muerte, 1/31/2019, Episode 62: Misinterpretations and Complications


     
    Vale arrives at the university and confronts Lucho; she hopes he’s happy that everyone is making fun of her. Lucho retorts that she converted herself into a lesbian; he warns her to take her crap elsewhere and not to even dare show up to any of their parties or events with Juls…Vale shouldn’t go at all.  (And especially don't mention that she was tired of trying to help him solve his 'problem'.  Tee Hee.)

    At Silvina’s house, Lupita again asks Juls what’s wrong; she seems even more down than the night before. When she insists, Juls tells her to stop…she just doesn’t want to talk. Lupita finally guesses right that Juls had a fight with Vale. Lupita thinks that Vale is beautiful and nice, but she pertains to a different world…they are like water and oil. Juls gets upset and asks, “Who asked for your opinion?” Juls doesn’t get into her business with Pancho; and she doesn’t make comments because Lupita takes advantage of him since he’s got a thing for her. Lupita denies it, but Juls insists that Lupita calls him whenever she wants something. Lupita scolds Juls and tells her not to be rude; so Juls snaps at her not to get into her business.  (Mom, do think maybe any of this mess might be your fault?)
