Vivi's synopsis of the plot of Corona de Lagrimas (Crown of Tears)
Vivi tells us Corona de Lagrimas (Crown of Tears) will replace Refugio at 7pm starting December 3. We're thinking that with a title like that, and with no particularly beloved stars, Caray Caray may give this one a pass. If anybody is enthused enough about it to want to blog it, let me know.
When Refugio (Victoria Ruffo) and her three sons, Patricio, Edmundo and Ignacio are thrown out of their home, by a twist of fate they come to Mexico City, where they begin a new life.
Eighteen years later, and have settled in a small apartment in popular area. She has a modest job, and has serious vision problems, but no health care to meet the needs of her children. Patricio studied Law and dreams of a comfortable and prosperous future; Edmundo is studying medicine and is a brilliant student but undisciplined; and Ignacio could only finish high school because he works in a mechanic’s shop, helping his mother to pay for household expenses and the studies of his brothers.
Patricio is the boyfriend of Lucero, daughter Julieta, who lodged with the family when they came to town. But soon after, he rejects Lucero when he meets Olga, a girl whose fickle fortune dazzles him, leading him to be ashamed of his family and to lie about his origins, going so far as to deny his mother. Olga begins to doubt Patricio’s lies. Exposed, he lies again saying that Refugio was his nanny, has a mental illness and he takes care of her. Olga admires his charity. Later, Edmundo begins to woo Lucero, inadvertently hurting Ignacio, who secretly loves her.
Olga asks her father, the lawyer Romulo Ancira, to hire Patricio in his law firm. As her father is fed up with the vagaries of his daughter, he agrees and soon they announce their engagement. Following their wedding, Patricio pulls completely away from his mother and his brothers. When Refugio tries to approach Olga to try to regain the love of her son, she receives only humiliation. This creates disagreements between Patricio and his brothers Edmundo and Ignacio. Then Patricio learns that his father is not the same as his brothers’, accuses his mother of cheating, and demands she not approach him.
Consequently, Refugio falls into a severe depression that leads her to losing her job and aggravates her loss of sight. Neither Edmundo nor Ignacio seem able to comfort her, but strive to get ahead-- Edmundo first by looking for easy money through illegal business, and Ignacio, by borrowing and falling into debt. Edmundo is lands in jail, and the situation worsens when Ignacio goes to ask Patricio to legally defend Edmundo and he refuses.
The married life of Patricio and Olga is a mess. She is such a jealous wife that she uses emotional blackmail on Patricio, even attempting suicide. Patricio’s world of luxury and comfort crumbles.
When the man who ruined the lives of Refugio and her children comes back in their lives, by chance, Patricio learns the truth about his origins and the efforts of his mother despite adversity. The pain of his own failures, defeats the arrogance of Patricio. He begs the pardon of Refugio and agrees to defend his brother, after which family harmony is recovered.

Refugio Para el Amor #154 Fri 11/16/12 RE continues to lose her marbles, Julie loses a ride home and a bid for Claudio, Gala loses her patience, and Rod and Luci are closer and closer to their lost child
Refrito:
Luci warns Janah to remember what happened with her and Rodrigo, don’t you know your mother? … Rodrigo comes in and questions Janah on what RE did by firing Mati. He promises he will pick up Alexia and then go to Estelita’s and convince Mati to come back. Promise.
Alexia convinces Rod to take her to see Mateo… they will go and get an ice cream too.
Mateo is doing same with Chelo so they too are heading to get ice creams.
Alexia and Mateo greet each other very happily, Rodrigo wonders of the coincidence of them meeting at same place again. Chelo explains they work at the park nearby.
Mateo and Alexia ask permission to go to the park alone. Both Chelo and Rod reluctant but they let them.
At the dungeon penthouse, Julie and Gala search for the baby id bracelet frantically. They refuse Frigida’s help. Gala pushes Frigida out the door.
At Estelita’s Luci meets up with Mati and also with Lorenzo… Janah suddenly appears.
Alexia begins taking the ‘magic’ things out of Chelo’s bag and she throws a red ball up and it hits a huge beehive that was up on the tree. Soon after the bees start attacking Mateo while the kids play with the masks. Alexia runs to get Rod to help get the bees off Mateo.
Lo Nuevo:
Alexia reaches Rod and Chelo, who don’t waste time running to help Mateo.
At Estelita’s Lorenzo gives Luci excuses of being sore for not working. Janah won’t buy what he is selling and asks him directly what her mother did to him. Lorenzo says nothing but ask me to leave you alone, but I will only leave you if you ask me to. Otherwise I will push on. (Janah can’t resist smirking a smile back at him.) Luci tells Lorenzo about the boy Rod did the DNA test on but it was negative. Lorenzo encourages Luci to keep the faith, he is sure the day they least expect it they will find his godchild.
Rod and Chelo catch up with Mateo. Rod immediately notices that Mateo can’t breathe well, asks Chelo if Mateo is allergic to bee stings, but Chelo is clueless… Rod notices Mateo’s airway (garganta) is totally blocked, that he can’t breathe so they run to hospital.
At TL Manor, RE is trying to explain to Connie that Mati is not loyal to her anymore so she is of no use to her.
At hospital cafeteria, Rod is trying to explain to Alexia that they won’t allow little kids in hospital rooms because they can make too much noise or they can get sick from the patients. They share a milkshake…
At Janah’s car, Luci asks Janah if she loves Lorenzo. Janah has to confirm. She went to Italy to get away from Lorenzo because of her mother but when she came back she realized she was still feeling for him. Luci keeps trying to convince her, that the illusions will pass and also that RE will do what she can against it. Janah says she wants to be happy for herself, not for what others might say. At that moment Rod calls her to ask her the favor to pick up Alexia… She asks Luci if she doesn’t mind going to pick Alexia up. Rod notices Luci is with Janah, yes she is but there is no problem.
At hospital cafeteria, Alexia gives Rod Mateo’s medal necklace to hold for Mateo. Rod uses the medal to hold hands with Alexia and they pray together for Mateo to get better real soon. (why doesn’t Rod wonder how Mateo was wearing a gold medal necklace if Chelo is so poor?) In his room, Mateo is on respirator and has a couple doctors by him.
In waiting room, Chelo is whinning that it will only get worse, how are we going to come up with the documents so that he can go to school? Chuy tries to encourage him. It will be alright.
Janah and Luci arrive to the hospital cafeteria. Rod thanks them. Luci says no worries. Alexia explains Mateo is her friend from the park. Rod adds that Mateo sells him the paper. Luci makes the connection this is the kid Claudio had told her about. Luci asks to accompany Rod to go see Mateo. He is more than joyful to have her come. Janah and Alexia leave.(she wants another milkshake! This kid will sure be diabetic by her teen yrs)
Back at hospital, when Luci sees Mateo, she remembers when the nurse brought her baby close to her right after birth… Chelo and Chuy are very grateful for Rod bringing Mateo to the hospital. They will find a way to pay him. Rod says don’t worry about that… The social worker comes in with the paperwork, there is info missing… the child’s second surname, what is his mother’s surname? Chelo and CHuy get scared, Rod and Luci watch with concerned faces. Chuy does some quick thinking, spits out a surname and says she is Mateo’s aunt. The social worker insists she needs the info to admit Mateo to the hospital. Rod volunteers to go with her for the financial issue.
Luci tells CHelo and Chuy that she knows them from somewhere… CHelo denies, but Luci remembers their meeting 5 yrs ago when she was looking for a shelter/orphanage. Chelo and Chuy have to confirm.. Luci says she found the shelter but she did not find her son. Then Luci asks Chelo what his wife died of, Diabetes. Luci asks them if Mateo has been checked for possible Diabetes. Chuy says yes and he was clear. Rod comes in to tell them Mateo will spend the night and then if he does not get a fever he can go home tomorrow. Chelo wants to know how he will pay Rod. No need.
Rod has brought Luci home. He will go tomorrow to Estelita’s to convince Mati to come back to the house. They all miss her. He briefly talks about RE being worse every day. Luci asks if she can come tomorrow to see Mateo. She feels very good when she is with him. He shares that feeling. When they say goodbye he tries to kiss her, but she won’t let him. However, it is a ‘friendly’ reprimand, he asks her ‘push me/lead me’… she pushes him out, and when she closes the door after him, she smiles satisfied.
Out in a street curb, Julie keeps nagging at Gala for having left that ‘loose end’ (the ID bracelet)… keeps annoying Gala enough so that Gala leaves her there and drives away.
Gala is whinning to Fernanda at work. She can’t stand Rod any more, she won’t age like a porcelain doll with Rod… She orders Fernanda to be her accomplice in her relationship with Milko (ouch! What a name!) .. they giggle about ‘how fun it will be’.
At Pato’s office he is on phone with Mati trying to convince her to come back to the house. She can’t take it anymore, she can’t stand watching them all suffer and feeling helpless… Pato says just your presence gives us strength and gives joy to our days. IF I could I would ask you to get me a spot in your sister’s house but I can’t abandon my mother. (really, Pato?)
At TL offices, Oscar tells Max Mati won’t come back unless RE asks Mati herself. Max says RE is switching personas like she switches outfits. Don’t know which one to believe… Oscar excuses himself, have to go meet a friend… Max asks if it’s a friend from work? No, it is a friend I haven’t seen in 25 yrs. He leaves a very confused Max.
Luci had called Claudio. Melissa is with him in his office at TL building. He is telling Melissa that they will need to push the appointment for dinner… at that moment Julie comes in inviting herself to ‘comida’ (lunch) with them. She is acting and sounding very flirtatious. Melissa is very uncomfortable, Claudio seems very relaxed but we can tell he is not buying what Julie is selling.
At restaurant, Julie has the nerve to tell Melissa that she is too young to eat with them. Claudio jumps in, tells Julie that Melissa has eaten with him often, she is very noble and brilliant young woman. Julie has to backstep a bit… It is Melissa’s turn… asks Julie what do you do now? Julie comes up with being a volunteer with a group of volunteer women called ‘Damas del buen corazon’ (good hearted ladies). Melissa is not buying her story, since she works with non-profit organizations and that name does not sound familiar to her. Julie wants to stop the subject and calls for the waiter in a rather primitive/rude way, to which both Melissa and Claudio exchange WTF looks..
Julie asks Claudio what happened with the DNA test they were doing on that boy Rod found… She fakes feeling bad about it and excuses herself to go to ladies room. Melissa tells Claudio Julie never stroke a good chord with her. Claudio says they are just very different… Claudio agrees with Melissa that neither Julie nor Gala would be his close friends… EVER. At that moment Julie comes back. And they put on the ‘in your face’ play of Claudio wanting Melissa to share his flan with him. Julie not happy.
RE has gone to see Padre Honesto. She came to apologize (she is actually bowing down to him). She had the illusion Rod had found a boy who could be his son, but the DNA test was negative. (she is really giving him the sadness script… Padre is buying). RE changes the subject to talk about Lorenzo… Padre stays true to his original statement… RE says her children are now three strangers who have abandoned her, Padre tells her they would not abandon her if she was a loving mother. RE gets more angry and says why can’t they follow my advice? Janah is not in love!! Janah is obsessed in going against MY WISHES and I hope she changes her mind before its too late. RE leaves on that note and Padre sighs and worries about her saying her name.
At ‘curvas’ business, Vio gets a huge bouquet (at least 3 dozen) of red roses… sent to her by Lic Leandro Echavarria, who happens to be standing behind Vio by now. He invites her to dinner, she turns him down, she doesn’t know him. He won’t take no for an answer, does not insist on today but says ‘I will be here tomorrow at 3 to pick you up’.
Later at the car wash, Lorenzo stops by. Delia tries to hug him and he shreaks… he says he burned himself cooking the taco fillings. Fabian, who knows better, just rolls his eyes. Then they change the subject to Aquiles’ showing up. Lorenzo asks what he came for. Vio kicked him out. They wonder what Aquiles wants to give her. Then they tease her on ‘what would you do with all that moolah??’ Violeta Trueba, the riches woman in SFeA!!
Meanwhile such Don Aquiles is swallowing Mezcal as if it were iced tea… ‘no doubt about it, that girl is mine, as brave as her dad, with a worse temper than mine! Erria!!’
‘Don Aquiles Trueba Tajonar is not alone. He has descendence, has left a footprint in the world’.
At TL offices, Max, Pato, Janah, and Alexia are spending some quality family time together.
RE now has gone to see the psychiatrist… RE says she fired her nana Mati. The only faithful, the only unconditional ally. Doctor figures that is why she is there today. RE says her world is beginning to crumble. She fired Mati, the most loyal one, the pillar of her life. Now she only has Patricio left. But I offended him too. What is happening to me that everyone is against me? Even myself!! (this might be a totally new level for NUTTSO!!)
AT TL manor, Max arrives and asks about RE. Janah is telling him she went to see Padre Honesto. RE arrives and Pato won’t even wait for her to say more than ‘good evening’, he is already rolling his eyes, rolling his chair around and heading to his room. RE says she will order dinner served, and by instinct Pato just responds ‘I am not hungry!’. RE says she went to see Dra Houser. Don’t bother me, don’t ask. She does, however have the right to ask the questions, she questions Alexia where her dad is… (really, RE??)
Julie phones Gala to ask for an apology, given, and then tells her the DNA test was negative. Gala says I knew it, it is not so easy to find a child who surely is in heaven. Julie says we have to celebrate. Gala responds I am already ahead of you, very happy here on earth, with my new boo Milko… c’iao!! … ok, where were we? Cheers!!
At TL manor, Rod can’t stay for dinner, it is getting late for Alexia… RE comments to a table with only Max and Janah, I thought with the grandchildren that the laughter and joy would return home but this house is more lonely each day… RE will have a tray with Pato’s dinner… Janah questions her who will take the tray to Pato. When RE shouts that she will, Janah and Max roll their eyes…
RE goes to Pato’s room to take him his dinner… She tries to admit he is mad at her. He says he is not mad, he is hurt. RE tries to convince him her intention was not to hurt him. He says it is not just what you tell me hurting me. But you also hurt the others with what you tell and do to them. RE questions if it hurts him this bad for Mati to be gone. He barks at her ‘Yes! It is not fair what you did! She loves you as a daughter, but she also loves us and wants to see us happy, but unfortunately you don’t share our joy with us, you believes whoever does not agree with your ideas is against you. RE says no that’s not it. You all do everything to go against me. Pato says no, mother. All we look for is our happiness, and you consciously or unsconsciously do all you can to prevent that. RE insists that is not true, if that is what you all believe, you are all wrong! (CASE CLOSED!!) There is nothing I can do. All I can do is apologize for my behavior… (she rolls the tray over to him even though he has said several times he is not hungry). She basically insists he forgive her so he forgives her. Ay, hijo, Thank you. ‘All Christians know how to forgive’. Love you.(funny way to show it lady!). She finally leaves him alone.
In the morning, Luci comes in Mateo’s room to meet him, he is more than happy to meet her and wants to give her a kiss, then she asks to give him a kiss herself. He opens his arms wide to receive her kiss, they hug with a very happy Rod looking over them.
Previews: Gala is set on getting much money out of Rod to divorce him.
VO: But with Luci’s presence in Mateo’s life, also are present the doubts…
Chelo: Who are you, Mateo?
CHuy: What if Rod and Luci are Mateo’s true parents?
(we see that both Rod and Luci get to know the place where Mateo and Chelo live)

El Mundo de Telemundo, Week of Thanksgiving 2012: Discuss Amongst Yourselves
What Telemundies
have to be thankful for:
Hombre de misterio
continues his impressive solo recapping of Pablo
Escobar while the beautifully crafted recaps of Novelera and Jean lead
us through the twists and turns of the telenovela that wouldn't die, Corazón Valiente. And where would we be without Deb's terrific comments on the whole
Telemundo lineup and especially her background information on the terrible
Escobar years in Colombia? Thank you so
much to the four of you -- and to everyone who comments here -- for keeping
this page lively over the past several months.
Rosa Diamante has
its fans too and Deb and Shallowgal, among others, update us now
and then on that show.
El rostro de la
venganza gets some attention here from time to time -- Thanks, Bill C, for your writeups -- but like
the orphaned Rosa, no one has really taken it on as a project.
A few cranky
observations:
On Pablo Escobar
I'm still watching Pablo
Escobar but I'm liking it less and less.
The historical facts are ghastly enough. Yet at times, the made-up
conversations cheapen the very real tragedy being portrayed. (Think of the
little girl on the plane who, gazing out at the clouds, tells her daddy they
are now close to her [dead] mother.)
Hombre, I apologize for not commenting very much on your
remarkable daily summaries. Please know
that I always read them and always appreciate them. I'm usually a day or two behind because I
record and watch when I have time.
So why am I watching this thing at all? I think I need to
see some kind of justice restored. I
want to see the fall of the bad guys and the end of this terrible chapter of
Colombia's history.
On El rostro de la
venganza
I watch this because it's only a half hour long and it comes
right after Pablo. While the underlying story is gruesome and at
times shockingly violent, the novela itself somehow manages to have no
emotional resonance at all. The dialogue
is endlessly recycled. We sit and watch our favorite beautiful people forming various
tableaux vivants. (If People
en español were a telenovela, this is the one it would be.) For me the only
real mystery is how they are going to manage the Presto Chango of Elizabeth
Gutiérrez into Marlene Favela. That
should be fun!
On Corazón valiente
Because of the way the evening telenovelas bleed over into
one another's time slot, my DVR catches the last two or three minutes of this
show. Almost every episode ends with a
cliffhanger that in another novela would mean últimas capítulos. Here it
just seems to mean "We'll keep this thing going as long as you keep
watching." I think Aurora (la princesa de hielo) tried to
do this too but not nearly as successfully.
Folks are watching more or less enthusiastically, so I guess the
production team is doing something right.
Anyway, I'm glad the talented Telemundo actors have work.
Your turn, amig@s. And a happy, healthy, warm, dry and safe
Thanksgiving to you all. Eat well and
not too wisely!

Amor Bravío #64 (Uni 59) Wed 11/14/12 “The Mean Streets of El Pueblo”
We begin our story tonight in the mean streets of the pueblo; LeoSordido has shot Pablo and Dandres. Now both Dandres and Pablo lie in the street, bleeding, with Leo Sordido standing over them with a pistola aimed at Dandres’ heart. LeoSordido aims carefully and we see the gun up close… and closer … he pulls the trigger, and CLICK.. bullets, no hay. What a genius! He shakes the bubblegun but nothing happens. Viewerville hopes he looks into the barrel and finds the last bullet on its way out and into his empty little skull. Suddenly, down the street, Amanda emerges from the hostel, yelling “Auxilio! Policia!” … LeoSordido disappears. Amanda runs into the street, desperate and distressed as she sees it is Pablo and Dandres who have been shot and are lying in the street .

Por ella soy Eva #84 11/14/12: I Heard You're Getting Married!
Finally, an action packed episode.
Eva and Adriano are in Adriano’s office and he feels abandoned and lonely because she is going away this weekend. He will miss her. He has an idea, he will work on the weeding preparations but Eva has a better idea. Speak to Modesto and Eugenia about the investigation that he needs to complete. Adriano asks Eva, what?? Am I going to tell Juan Carlos’ mother about the account that he opened in her name? Eva reminds him that it is the supposed account. Adriano says that its not supposed it is an actual account. Adriano wants to leave JC in the past.
Claudia asks Eugenia what are you reading? Eugenia is reading the play- The House of Bernanrda Alba by Garcia Lorca ( a side note, I love Garcia Lorca- he is my favorite author!!!!- Wow that bought back memories) Claudia asks Eugenia- is it true that you were famous? How come you don’t act anymore (Listen honey- Eugenia is acting right now by keeping herself calm, and being a class act because if it was any other woman- Claudio and Modesto would be living in the street) Eugenia tells her that she is not going to fall for her nonsense and that she promised to be seen and not heard.
The rude teenager- says that if you were so beautiful and so famous how come your husband met my plain ole mom who was a secretary? (Claudia is out of line) Eugenia lets Claudia know that if she wanted to bother her she has won, but that’s what Eugenia gets for letting her stay in her house.
Eugenia walks out of the room past a clueless Modesto, who asks, what happened? The little liar says nothing, I swear.
Back to Adriano’s office- Adriano wants to look ahead, but Eva says- yes Grupo Imperio is a part of our future and there are things that have to be clarified. Adriano agrees to speak to JC’s parents. Anything for Eva.
In Santi and Ferni’s non-productive office- Santi is complaining about his wife while Ferni is perfecting his paper airplane. Santi doesn’t have any money, credit cards are maxed out but all she wants to do is party every weekend. Ferni tells Santi that he needs to take control and stop complaining. Santi is upset because she spends all day at home doing nothing. A man enters their office and Ferni has had enough of his paper airplane and gives them privacy by leaving the office.
The rude girl is listening to music and Modesto tells her to have patience and compassion with his wife because she just finished undergoing treatments for mental treatments and Claudia asks- is she crazy? This girl really crosses the line!! Why isn’t she in school??? Modesto proceeds to tell her that no she is not crazy and that she is getting better every day and your presence is not helping the situation. Claudia throws a guilt trip on Modesto, reminding him that she is accustomed to him not being around when she needed him, etc, etc. Modesto tells her that this is not the time to discuss such matters. (Whoa- what about putting the little girl in her place. Whatever shortcomings he has needs to be discussed with her mother. Then he justifies his actions by blaming Eugenia. Did I miss something here, Modesto?? You had an affair with your secretary, had children born out of wedlock and you are blaming your wife for not allowing you to visit your other family, pleeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz!) He also throws in the death of Juan Carlos and that these are things that should be discussed with her mother- finally. His cell rings- it’s his buddy, Adriano. Claudia mimics Modesto.
The man in the office tells Santi that with his pay cut and the loans that he owes he will have a very small paycheck. Uh oh!! It’s time for somebody else in the Escudero home to get a job.
Helena shows her engagement ring to Lucia. Helena shares with Lucia, that in front of Lalo, Mad Dad, her mom, Adriano and Eva, Pluti asked her to marry him. Lucia wanted to be there and asks Helena how come she didn’t tell her. Helena tells her that it was a surprise. Lucia, who as silly as she is notices that Helena is not very enthusiastic about her engagement. If it were Lucia she would be doing the happy dance. Lucia (who is now getting on my nerves) is complaining about Renato and their non- relationship. A blue dress (I forgot her name) brings some papers to Helena and welcomes her back to work. Lucia proceeds to shout out Helena’s engagement to Pluti and the blue dress can’t wait to run out and spread the gossip to the other blue dresses. Lucia is so full of emotion that she and the blue dress do some type of bridal walk, dance, I was ready to reach for the remote, oh I can’t, I’m recapping. Just as I predicted, the blue dresses and Marsela are talking about the upcoming weddings, Dona Eva and Adriano and Helena and Don Plutarco. As usual everyone is not working and talking about brides and weddings and Rebeca overhears the conversation. Pluti is getting married? Yes, Marsela tells her, her asked Helena to marry him. Rebeca starts insulting the blue dresses.
Rebeca continues with her trepadora insults regarding Helena and says that she hates women like Helena. Marsela says that Helena is not like that and they are marrying because they are in love. Rebeca looks ill. Everyone is complimenting the physical beauty of the betrothed couple and of course Rebeca throws in her insults- Prince William and Princess Kate are a beautiful couple, Helena and Pluti are ugly, etc. etc. Marsela asks- aren’t you a little bitter? Be happy for them. I think that they make a beautiful couple and I am happy for them, as should you. Rebeca- the Queen Naca- blames herself for listening to the gossip from the naca bowl and flies away on her blue broom. The Evaleets and Marsela remember the song by Shakira-“No Se Puede Vivir Con Tanto Veneno”. (Shakira - No [Gustavo Cerati]
Rebeca bursts into Helena’s office- under the pretense of handing over all of the Playa Mayagua paperwork. We know that this will not end well. (Did I miss the blue memo at the office today?) Helena thanks her but you know that there is more to come. She congratulates the single mom for her good luck with the Vice President. The hypocrite Rebeca can’t believe that Pluto forgot so soon about his wife, Dona Tony, the lovely adored woman, and she has the nerve to blow kisses to her (she should have been struck down with a lightening bolt). Helena and I shared the same facial expression for once. - the look of disgust. Helena says that he hasn’t forgotten her, he is just moving forward with his life and he has a right to. (Says who?) Rebeca just thinks that its months later, its too soon. Rebeca shares that according to gossip- Pluti married Antonia for interest/convenience. She has the nerve to ask Helena, if she heard that? Uh no, Rebeca, unlike you she works. Helena doesn’t have time to listen to gossip. Rebeca also shares (from first hand experience) that Pluti was never faithful to Antonia.
Ferni is on the phone talking to someone, sounds like an order and gets off of the phone in a hurry when Marsela enters the office and pretends to be working, typing one finger at a time.
Rebeca shares her memories of Pluti before he got married, going from one to the other. Helena has confidence in Pluti and she will have him clear up any lover issues. Rebeca is so sad, just looking for any type of reaction. She says how life takes a turn and starts on JC, saying that he was the lowest of the lows, mistreated women and now you are engaged to his rival Pluti. What irony? Helena says that they are men with virtues and defects. Rebeca says that JC knew how to hurt women including her. He was an enchanter and knew how to attract women. Helena does not want to speak of the dead. Rebeca still looking for the sting- tells Helena that he would have never married you.
Santi is talking to Angelica about his cut in pay, lack of finances and he doesn’t know how he is going to make it through the month. and how she has to sacrifice. She needs to think about going to school but she is not sure what she wants to study, something technical, fashion English, interior design (picture that??) She suggests that he asks her parents and he can’t. He tried when he was with Patti and it was a no go. Lucia walks in listens to the conversation and asks Santi, if everything is okay. Santi gives her a look of defeat.
Rebeca is still in Helena’s office talking about JC and his player ways (sheer foolishness), gossip about players who promise to marry their girlfriends, blah, blah, blah and Helena cuts her off and tells her to get back to work, she doesn’t have time for foolishness (listening to gossip) because she has a lot of work to do. Rebeca’s last pearl of wisdom- whoever gets angry loses, then she flies out on her broom. Helena tries to contain herself.
Fern the idiot is waiting for Rebeca and wants to know more details of their partnership. Rebeca tells them that they can’t talk there.
Rebeca bursts into Pluto’s office to start her foolishness. Rebeca is one miserable person. She says that she heard the gossip in the hallways that he is going to get married. What a pathetic couple. So you prefer a single mother to me. You are a naco. Pluti doesn’t want to hear her opinion. She tells him that its not a good idea to live where bad has happened Pluto tells her that she can’t spoil his happiness and don’t think about trying to blackmail him. He told her that she should be on her knees thanking him for allowing her to work there. He told her to disappear leave his office before he throws her out. They insult each other about the 10 years that they spent together, she calls him a hot mess (I think) and he can’t believe that he spent so much time with her.
One of the Evalettes has free time and asks if they want to get coffee, what free time, they don’t work. The Evalettes are sad and talking about how they miss Mimi and her Avon. They can’t live without it.
Eva goes into Helena’s office to talk about the construction company if Helena has time and they have a que, que, and que contest. Que, Que, Que. Eva wants to know if Helena is angry with her. Helena said that she has gotten over it. Eva starts asking about Pluti and Helena asks her to stop and leave it in the past.
Pluti wants to talk in private with Helena about Playa Mayagua-ewwwwwwwwwww!!! Eva says that that the three of them can discuss it, but she is sent out of the office. Kissy, kissy time- yuck!!!
Helena doesn’t seem to pleased with the kiss, maybe her b.s. detector is finally working or maybe she can still hear Rebeca’s conversation.
Helena and Pluti are talking about choosing a construction company- Fitsi. Pluti seems to favor them.
Santi and Lucia (who make a great couple and will probably end up together) Santi wants Angelica to work or go to school. Lucia tells Santi that she has always worked and has paid for her schooling. She should be proud. Lucia suggests that perhaps Angelica can talk better with a female than her husband. Rebeca is her best friend- enough said. (Dumb and dumber)
Pluti notices that Helena is a tad bit cold and asks her what’s up? She says that even though we are engaged, I don’t know much about you? Pluti tells her that he worked his way up the ladder, he studied, graduated worked for Grupo Imperio for about 10 years, met Antonia fell in love and married her. He is proud to be a VP based on merit and not marriage. He is not interested in the past, only in being a family with her and Lalo.
The two gold diggers are conversating on the phone- Angelica is complaining to Rebeca that Santi wants her to go to school. She doesn’t want to go to school, she teases Rebeca because at least she is married and has a husband to take care of her and for cuchi cuchi.
Rebeca said that she would rather stay single than to be married to someone as useless as Santi and have kids. Angelica tells Rebeca that she knows that she is dying to marrying Pluti who doesn’t want her and she is an old maid and can’t find anyone else. Rebeca disagrees, she get whomever she wants. (What a toxic relationship these two “friends” have? I don’t want to have one up on my friends) She wasted 10 years with Pluti; she has work to do- bye!
Renato and Pluti discuss his work with Helena that Renato is working hard and that Pluti can help Speed Racer move up in the company, he has influence over Adriano. He can move up and have a position like Juan Carlos. Renato seems pleased. The ball is in his court. The VP position may be available soon and it could be his, just like JC. Renato can help him.
Santi tells Helena that he is behind in his work but he will try to catch up. He also congratulates her on the upcoming nuptials. She stops him and says that she has to ask him something about JC.
Mimi and Eva are having lunch and Eva, he feels like he is operating on automatic pilot. She/he finds it hard to continue without Helena’s love and feels useless.
Helena asks Santi if JC was really going to marry her? Santi asked her why did she have the doubt and Helena said that it was something that Rebeca said. Santi told her that Helena was the only woman that he loved. He was madly in love with her. He wanted to have a family with she and Lalito. It was a little uncomfortable but it seemed to revive Helena.
Here comes Pluti, what a pain!!! He wants to take her out to dinner after work, but she wants to work alone. Buzz off- Pluti!!!!
Lucia, Santi and Angelica are out having a cup of coffee and Lucia is giving suggestions to Angelica on how to find things that she is interested in. Angelica is interesting in dancing and being Santi’s kept wife.
Helena visits JC’s grave and she reminds of a line in The Godfather III- just when I thought that I was out they pulled me back in.”
Angelica doesn’t do anything, that why she got married so that her husband can take care of her. She and Santi proceed to slobber over each other at the table. Lucia tries to suggest- secretary, waitress, catalog seller, etc. but it doesn’t work.
Helena is still having her conversation with JC. It always feels as if you are so close to me at all times. I can touch you. She doesn’t believe that he is in his grave. She needs JC to die in her heart.
At Ferni’s house, Ferni arrives with a flat screen TV and a home theatre system. Jennifer helps Ferni the idiot say high definition. Marsela wants to know- where did you get the money to buy this.
Coming attractions- Oneismo is visiting Eugenia and having her sign some papers. Eugenia recognizes Oneismo at Grupo Imperio.
Eva and Adriano are in Adriano’s office and he feels abandoned and lonely because she is going away this weekend. He will miss her. He has an idea, he will work on the weeding preparations but Eva has a better idea. Speak to Modesto and Eugenia about the investigation that he needs to complete. Adriano asks Eva, what?? Am I going to tell Juan Carlos’ mother about the account that he opened in her name? Eva reminds him that it is the supposed account. Adriano says that its not supposed it is an actual account. Adriano wants to leave JC in the past.
Claudia asks Eugenia what are you reading? Eugenia is reading the play- The House of Bernanrda Alba by Garcia Lorca ( a side note, I love Garcia Lorca- he is my favorite author!!!!- Wow that bought back memories) Claudia asks Eugenia- is it true that you were famous? How come you don’t act anymore (Listen honey- Eugenia is acting right now by keeping herself calm, and being a class act because if it was any other woman- Claudio and Modesto would be living in the street) Eugenia tells her that she is not going to fall for her nonsense and that she promised to be seen and not heard.

Refugio Para el Amor #153 Wed 11/14/12 Lorenzo gets into Hot Water with RE; Mati gets into Hot Water with RE; Jana gets into Hot Water with RE; RE gets into Hot Water with Patricio; Max stays Lukewarm
El Refrito
Rod and Alexia are sitting at the coffee table drawing.
Claudio and Luci are driving by where Claudio met Rodrigo’s little friend Mateo, but she isn’t able to see him because his head is inside the white bag.
Partial Refrito
Roselena has kept Jana’s date at the Café de Chinos with Lorenzo. She’s punctual, she points out, showing Lorenzo Jana’s cell phone. Her presence commands respect, she radiates power and possesses complete self-control. What is she up to? Smiling sweetly, after cleaning off her place, she avers she’s never been to a place like this, accepts Lorenzo’s choice of Bisquets and orders coffee, but wants the liquid boiling. They watch as it is served at the table. Lorenzo is sweating bullets, expecting a show-down in the OK corral. The internal heat is getting to him, so he takes his jacket off, then politely warns her not to burn herself as the coffee is hot. RE answers, still smiling sweetly, I know, as she flings the hot liquid across and splatters it all over Lorenzo’s chest. Then she innocently exclaims, Que Barbaridad, as if someone else had perpetrated the deed. She looks around saying, Forgive me, Forgive me, to anyone who might have been watching. She gets up, and while Lor is in agony, hisses in his ear, this is the last time she’s going to warn him to stay away from her daughter. Then she sweeps out. In the car, she tells Genaro to vamoose and we are witness to that sick smile as she rolls up the window. The woman at the next table who saw the “accident” thinks it was deplorable behavior and remarks, as Viewerville knows already, that señora is LOCA. Poor Lor, although badly burned, says the thing that hurts most is his heart.
Note: Why do the episodes I recap have so much important dialog. Or is it just me that thinks every spoken word is critical to the storyline. Forgive my verbiage—again. Ultimas semanas is giving me ultimas headaches with the rapid-fire scene changes; so I, too will be combining action in the interest of saving on aspirin.
Lo de Hoy
TL Mansion, Cellblock J – After being locked in by MamaLoca, Jana has cried herself out and is a bit calmer, pining away on her bed, remorseful that she bears the blame for leaving her cell phone at the house, giving her mother the opportunity to snoop and discover her movements. (Q-Jana knew where she and Lor were going to meet, why didn’t she just GO there, and forget the phone?)
TL Mansion, Living Room –Pato arrives to find Mati in hysterics. He can’t make heads or tails of the nonsense she’s trying to tell him—that Roselena locked Jana in her room when she found out Jana was on her way to meet Lorenzo…she knew because she saw Lorenzo’s cell phone message because Jana forgot and left her phone in her bedroom…then RE left probably to go intercept Lorenzo at the Café de Chinos, pant, pant, pant. Mati couldn’t let Jana out because RE took all the keys, including the duplicates. (Your recapper also calls that dangerous and irresponsible, in case of fire, but our Roselena is only thinking of carnal dangers.) Pato wastes no time—Let’s GO.
El Barrio – We see Lor, with serious 1st degree burns and in pain (and shirtless) being tended to by Estelita. She wants him to report this incident to the police but Lor doesn’t want to. This is just between him and Roselena. Meanwhile, Estelita is applying salve with her fingers and he’s flinching with pain. Lor is firm that he doesn’t want Estelita to tell anyone, not even Fabian. She calls Roselena a LOCA. Lor, bless his heart, is still trying to see the best side of RE—menacing him is not enough to kill his love for Jana. It’s true love he feels for her. He’s not going to give her up just because of the kind of mother she has. Señora Roselena is the mother of the person he loves and so, deserves his respect. (What a guy! Can we have some more just like him, please?)
TL Mansion, Cellblock J – Mati and Pato arrive too late to help Jana. RE got there first, and as cold and dangerous as dry ice, is unlocking the door. Pato reacts—What are you doing, mama? Are you making our house into a prison? Are these new house rules? Locking up your children so they will listen to you? Merely reading her look, it says, who are you to challenge me, I am the mistress of this house. There’s a staring contest between the two and neither RE nor Pato back down. (Can your recapper call this a Mexican stand-off without getting into trouble with the PC police?)
Rod and Gala’s Doom ‘n Gloom Room— Rod comes in to Gala’s bedroom to find out what she wanted. It sounds like the start of a civil conversation. Gala says she recognizes she didn’t behave properly last night and begs his pardon, but asks him to put himself in her place and see how it feels to live this way. Five years of silence, rejected, scorned (despreciada), ignored, undesired. Rod replies that he is sorry he can’t respond to her the way she’d like or deserves but he can’t fake it (fingir). In trying to fix one mistake, they committed another. Gala thinks he’s referring to Alexia as the mistake. No, the mistake was getting married when the love between them had come to an end. That causes Gala to state (she’s fingiendo, no?) she loved him then, loves him now and always loved him. (What a two-faced Juli she is.) Does he think there would be any other way she would tolerate his constant humiliations? Rod is struck dumb(a$$). Is he thinking she’s right or is he thinking she’s a great actress. (Being the dumb(a$$) we know is dead to us, he’s probably thinking the former rather than the latter.)
Rod backs down (darn) with a weak-kneed, sorry, I couldn’t love you. He agrees that it’s not pleasant living this way, without love. Gala wants him to try, for Alexia’s sake. Rod says it’s Alexia he’s thinking of. It’s not her fault things are the way they are between them. Don’t put her in the middle of their battlefield. He would give his life for her and Gala knows it, so she shouldn’t use Alexia to get to him (agredirme).

Rod and Alexia are sitting at the coffee table drawing.
Claudio and Luci are driving by where Claudio met Rodrigo’s little friend Mateo, but she isn’t able to see him because his head is inside the white bag.
Partial Refrito
Roselena has kept Jana’s date at the Café de Chinos with Lorenzo. She’s punctual, she points out, showing Lorenzo Jana’s cell phone. Her presence commands respect, she radiates power and possesses complete self-control. What is she up to? Smiling sweetly, after cleaning off her place, she avers she’s never been to a place like this, accepts Lorenzo’s choice of Bisquets and orders coffee, but wants the liquid boiling. They watch as it is served at the table. Lorenzo is sweating bullets, expecting a show-down in the OK corral. The internal heat is getting to him, so he takes his jacket off, then politely warns her not to burn herself as the coffee is hot. RE answers, still smiling sweetly, I know, as she flings the hot liquid across and splatters it all over Lorenzo’s chest. Then she innocently exclaims, Que Barbaridad, as if someone else had perpetrated the deed. She looks around saying, Forgive me, Forgive me, to anyone who might have been watching. She gets up, and while Lor is in agony, hisses in his ear, this is the last time she’s going to warn him to stay away from her daughter. Then she sweeps out. In the car, she tells Genaro to vamoose and we are witness to that sick smile as she rolls up the window. The woman at the next table who saw the “accident” thinks it was deplorable behavior and remarks, as Viewerville knows already, that señora is LOCA. Poor Lor, although badly burned, says the thing that hurts most is his heart.
Note: Why do the episodes I recap have so much important dialog. Or is it just me that thinks every spoken word is critical to the storyline. Forgive my verbiage—again. Ultimas semanas is giving me ultimas headaches with the rapid-fire scene changes; so I, too will be combining action in the interest of saving on aspirin.
Lo de Hoy
TL Mansion, Cellblock J – After being locked in by MamaLoca, Jana has cried herself out and is a bit calmer, pining away on her bed, remorseful that she bears the blame for leaving her cell phone at the house, giving her mother the opportunity to snoop and discover her movements. (Q-Jana knew where she and Lor were going to meet, why didn’t she just GO there, and forget the phone?)
TL Mansion, Living Room –Pato arrives to find Mati in hysterics. He can’t make heads or tails of the nonsense she’s trying to tell him—that Roselena locked Jana in her room when she found out Jana was on her way to meet Lorenzo…she knew because she saw Lorenzo’s cell phone message because Jana forgot and left her phone in her bedroom…then RE left probably to go intercept Lorenzo at the Café de Chinos, pant, pant, pant. Mati couldn’t let Jana out because RE took all the keys, including the duplicates. (Your recapper also calls that dangerous and irresponsible, in case of fire, but our Roselena is only thinking of carnal dangers.) Pato wastes no time—Let’s GO.
El Barrio – We see Lor, with serious 1st degree burns and in pain (and shirtless) being tended to by Estelita. She wants him to report this incident to the police but Lor doesn’t want to. This is just between him and Roselena. Meanwhile, Estelita is applying salve with her fingers and he’s flinching with pain. Lor is firm that he doesn’t want Estelita to tell anyone, not even Fabian. She calls Roselena a LOCA. Lor, bless his heart, is still trying to see the best side of RE—menacing him is not enough to kill his love for Jana. It’s true love he feels for her. He’s not going to give her up just because of the kind of mother she has. Señora Roselena is the mother of the person he loves and so, deserves his respect. (What a guy! Can we have some more just like him, please?)
TL Mansion, Cellblock J – Mati and Pato arrive too late to help Jana. RE got there first, and as cold and dangerous as dry ice, is unlocking the door. Pato reacts—What are you doing, mama? Are you making our house into a prison? Are these new house rules? Locking up your children so they will listen to you? Merely reading her look, it says, who are you to challenge me, I am the mistress of this house. There’s a staring contest between the two and neither RE nor Pato back down. (Can your recapper call this a Mexican stand-off without getting into trouble with the PC police?)
Rod and Gala’s Doom ‘n Gloom Room— Rod comes in to Gala’s bedroom to find out what she wanted. It sounds like the start of a civil conversation. Gala says she recognizes she didn’t behave properly last night and begs his pardon, but asks him to put himself in her place and see how it feels to live this way. Five years of silence, rejected, scorned (despreciada), ignored, undesired. Rod replies that he is sorry he can’t respond to her the way she’d like or deserves but he can’t fake it (fingir). In trying to fix one mistake, they committed another. Gala thinks he’s referring to Alexia as the mistake. No, the mistake was getting married when the love between them had come to an end. That causes Gala to state (she’s fingiendo, no?) she loved him then, loves him now and always loved him. (What a two-faced Juli she is.) Does he think there would be any other way she would tolerate his constant humiliations? Rod is struck dumb(a$$). Is he thinking she’s right or is he thinking she’s a great actress. (Being the dumb(a$$) we know is dead to us, he’s probably thinking the former rather than the latter.)
Rod backs down (darn) with a weak-kneed, sorry, I couldn’t love you. He agrees that it’s not pleasant living this way, without love. Gala wants him to try, for Alexia’s sake. Rod says it’s Alexia he’s thinking of. It’s not her fault things are the way they are between them. Don’t put her in the middle of their battlefield. He would give his life for her and Gala knows it, so she shouldn’t use Alexia to get to him (agredirme).

Amores Verdaderos #6 Wed 11/14/12 A new day/show in the Ring-Round-The-Rosie Brothers Frankie and Angel Circus… and Salsero better be a good dancer, he sucks at coordinating kidnappings..
And let's not go there about Salsero's job as security manager for the B family.
On ring no. 1 we have an unnamed man in black grabbing Vic from behind, she calls for Big Angel (her guardian angel Arriaga), although not really very loud or sounding very alarmed … Big Angel responds ‘digame senora!’ but without coming out of the try-on room… The men in black drag Vic out of the store and down the mall, Big Angel finally exits the try-on room and asks the employee lady for Vic, she tells him Vic left with another man, Big Angel gets worried and runs out, wearing only his shorts and a white shirt that belongs to the store. The shirt he is wearing belongs to the store, thus there are about three mall security guards instantly on his tail in hot pursuit of him… they catch up with him and a brief tug-o-war with the white shirt ensues since Big Angel has the clear mind to take the shirt off… but of course it is not enough to just send the security guards away… then he maneuvers them off himself, but to no avail, they continue in pursuit… Meanwhile Vic and the two thugs in black are heading down the escalator…

Amor Bravío #63 (Uni 58) Tue 11/13/12 Catfight at the Ok Corral; ACME Anvils is hard at work.
Mariano tells Camila about the doctored documents Alonso
gave her. She’s not surprised. Oh ho!
But that’s not all! Mariano also
tells her that Alonsobusted and Ximena are lovers!!! He recounts how he saw
them macking outside of Alonso’s place, (well, actually her place) in
town. He’s sorry to have to be the one
to tell her this. She’s shocked! He understands her reaction and that’s why he
waited to tell her. She flashes back to
that conversation with her loving sis. Remember
the one where Ximena called her a témpano
(iceberg) , insufferable and unbearable?
Yeah, that one. We come back to
the present and Camila has an aha moment.
Of course, now she realizes why Ximena defended Alonso so
vehemently. Now she’s angry (yes!) to
think they’ve cuckolded her this whole time!
Mariano hopes it wasn’t wrong to tell her. He didn’t feel it was right
for them to continue to deceive her.
Camila is soooo grateful to him for opening her eyes to this
deception. He still feels bad for being
the bearer of bad news. She knows he’ll
understand that she’s so shocked to learn that her sister, her sister!.......now
she realizes they were shagging while he was still living at La Malquerida. She would expect this of Alonso, but her
sister? To think that the only thing
she’s done since she came here was to shack up with her husband? If her own sister would do this to her, what
can she expect from anyone else? Mariano
hugs her and consoles her but she turns away in frustration and anger.

Amores Verdaderos #5 Tue 11/13/12 Praying to Porcelain Gods and Frustrated Hunks
NOTE: I started writing this recap a few days ago, when I wasn't clear on all the characters' names. (And heaven forbid I research that! LOL.) So I gave them all my own descriptive names. Forgive me for calling Big Ed . . . Big Ed. I know his name is Jose Angel. But just this one time I call him Big Ed. LOL.
UPDATE: It's finally done! All screencaps are up.

Victoria has a fit about her dad's current lady love. Doesn't want to hear about her. Dad says okay, okay, calm down. She calms down and they chit chat about something else.
Said lady love is hiring a private detective to find out if his former lady love, Candelaria Corona (who predated her) met Vicki's Dad (Anibal), about 40 years ago, she says. Candaleria worked as a nurse at a small village, she and Anibal had an affair, and then she disappeared a few years after that. Paula (Main Squeeze) wants to know if this woman had a kid. Any guesses on who that kid that might be? LOL. Lady says that her future is at risk here, she needs to know!

Por ella soy Eva #83 11/13/12: Lalo Gets His First Lesson in Villainy. So Does Fer
- Fer, lazy idiot macho jerk, thinks Rebe lusts after his dirty smelly body. Ha! She doesn't put out for less than a vice president. She proposes a partnership with Fer in a scam against Grupo Imperio. He waffles, but half an hour later, after Rebe says: "your commission will be more than your wife earns," he says ok.
- Juan wakes up with a gruesome hangover after his tantrum of the previous night. He is not grateful for the breakfast and cheery attitude Mimi provides but sucks down the beer.
After a product placement for Mimi's Blackberry, Adriano shows up with flowers for Eva. "She'll be spending all day in bed," says Mimi. Adri: "These flowers pale in comparison with the radiance of Eva Maria." However, he notices Mimi is also radiant and notices her perfume is familiar - he was engulfed in it on that Enchanted Night...
She wants to hear how enchanted that night was. He says it would go down in history. "Every day I love her more, and all because of that night, the best of my life."
- Awful Claudia stares at a picture of Juan Carlos and asks Eugenia about him. "He was everything." We find out Claudia's brother (they are holding back the grand reveal of his identity) is really an angry guy.
Modesto says he's sending Claudia back to Carmen but she doesn't want to go. She whines her protest to Eugenia. I would have thrown her out immediately.
Later Modesto thanks Eugenia for letting Claudia stay. "It's just for a few days. And after all it's not her fault." Modesto goes on and on about how good it is that Eugenia has accepted that JC is dead. Finally she says: "The work of an actress is to make lies seem like the truth."
- Science Fair. I would like to have heard the kids talk about their fine projects! Helena, Pluto and Silvia notice Lalo looks very sad. He's pouting because the volcano at the next table is better than his - the girl figured out how to make hers explode!
Pluto asks for a private moment with Lalo and says: "Never let a girl win, take advantage of every opportunity." He has a bad plan. We see he will, given the chance, turn Lalo into a little Brylcreemed villain.
Helena reminisces about Juan playing with Lalo. Silvia points out he was just trying to get at the computer in his room.
Pluto got Lalo to steal the fire-maker out of the little girl's volcano. Now Lalo's is great, and the little girl's doesn't work. She cries and runs away. Pluto reassures Lalo it was ok and lies to Helena about it. Lalo is silent.
- Eva shows up at the science fair, apologising for her impertinent drunken rant of the previous night. She tells Lalo he's "a Mexican Einstein."
She again asks Helena: "Do you love Don Pluti?" "Uh, yeah, sure, that's why I'm marrying him. Juan did nothing but harm me, my present is Pluto. ... When I was in the hospital I thought I saw Juan, that hallucination really hurt me, it seemed so real."
"What if I were to tell you that he's alive?" "Even if he came back from his tomb, it would be too late. Never mention him again. And enough already about your dead husband! Enjoy Adriano; the present is all we have."
- Renato says he's too busy to go to some happening place with Lucia. She whines and nags until he says he'll go for a little while. He gets a mysterious text message.
- After Lalito wins first prize for his now excellent fire-spouting volcano, everyone cuddles him. He moans to Pluto: "I won by cheating." "This won't be the last time. Sometimes it takes a trick to win. Don't tell anybody - you know how women are." "Mother says one shouldn't cheat." "It's ok. Let this be our first father-and-son secret."
The teacher wants to talk to Helena, and we think she's going to bust Lalo for his stealing, but no, she just says he's a great kid, recovered from his past glooms.
- Some guys needle Eva. "What would your girls, your mother, your daughters think if they knew you were acting like this?" She pummels them with her magnificent pocketbook.
- Helena has found a GIGANTIC new apartment suitable for a millionaire. She's annoyed that Pluto lets the real estate agent think they're married. Helena makes it clear that's not the case.
She notices Lalo is not as pleased with Pluto as he used to be and was about to ask him about it when Silvia comes to say she'll be leaving when H & P get married. "No, ma, the three of us (you me and Lalo) will always be together."
- Renato brings Lucia home and wants to leave. She whines, "No, don't leave, have some booze, let's talk?" "What do you want to talk about?" "Now that we're going out, I want to know more about you. What's your mom's name? Who was your last girlfriend?" "I don't live in the past." He bolts, citing family issues.
- Juan sulks in existential despair and decides the best course of action is to prove to Helena what kind of (rotten) guy Plutarco is.
- Pluto, after showing us how glad he is to finally get the tiresome mucoso out the door, tries again to persuade Helena not to go back to work. "Haven't you thought then when we're married you'll have lots to do? And now, don't you need time to organize our wedding!?" "I can do it all, and anyway there's plenty of time, we're not getting married tomorrow..."
- Fer shows up at home in a nutty mood. Marcela is working on her thesis. He apologizes for his bad moods and says everything will go back to normal now. I guess larceny is an aphrodisiac: he grabs her and grins like a lunatic.
Tomorrow: possibly Rebeca will spill a few beans to Helena. Or maybe it's a trampa.

Refugio Para el Amor #152 Tue 11/13/12 Well At Least She Didn't Throw It In His Lap!
Sorry to make light of Lorenzo's
scalding rebuke by Roselena, but I once covered a much worse story
about a domestic dispute back in the early 70's. An angry woman
dumped a pan of boiling water on her husband's lap. And my
heartless editor wrote the headline “He's Wearing the Hot Pants
Now”. So let's face it,
Roselena, heinous and hideous as she is, hasn't done anything we
can't read about in the paper any day of the week. Alas.
Now let's backtrack
a little and see what led up to Rose's red-hot revenge on Lorenzo.
However,I counted 43 scene changes tonight so I'm still going to
consolidate scenes to avoid mental whiplash.
Patricio's
Anvil-Laden Rehab Plans:
Our episode begins with Max talking to Oscar and the physical
therapist about arranging to adapt a vehicle so Patricio can drive
it. That's one possible way for our dear Pato to perish. But Aldo
and Patricio are also researching other rehab clinics all over the
world—Russia, China etc. to see if he can reach his goal of walking
again. A goal that he has promised Luciana to achieve. This stated
with a yearning look her way. A look she gently turns aside.
Another way for Pato to come a-cropper. (O please writers, spare our
favorite, will you? I'm willing to sacrifice Boris, by the way.)
Speaking of
Boris:
Yep,
our relentless stalker is lurking in the foyer of the corporativo
again,
wanting Jana to clarify their relationship. Because he's called and
called her cell and she never answered. That's when Jana realizes
she's left her cell at home. While putting off Boris, she
frantically finds a land line and calls Mati to have Genero bring her
the phone. No dice. He's running errands for Mom. Okay, so hide the
phone. Roselena overhears the conversation, quickly finds the
cellphone after Mati stuffs it in a drawer and makes her nefarious
plans.
When
Jana later comes home and neither she nor Mati can find the cellphone
, Rose coolly listens while they both haplessly lie. See, Mom, the
frantic rummaging is because I've lost my blue mascara. And? Well,
I'm going out to meet Lulu...to talk about Boris!...and want to give
myself a little manita
de gato (freshening
up) before the date.
Mom sends Mati off for some other mascara,
slips out the door, locks Jana in and leaves to take her place at the
café.( I guess if there were a fire, little Jana would have to
perish and mom would say “Serves you right!”) These various
scenes do give us an interesting insight on the family portraits.
The photo of Roselena with her sons is in the main living room. The
photo of Max with his daughter is in Jana's bedroom. A photo of the
whole family together? If it exists, we haven't seen it. More later.

Amores Verdaderos #4 Mon 11/12/12 Code names: Athena, Zeus and Aphrodite
I can’t help but Salserito reminds me of the one and only Agent Smith.
* The very first meeting of Nikki and Franisco is splendid. Not. Guzmán is annoyed by the little brat who acts like he was dirt on the bottom of her shoes, and Nikki is even more annoyed by the hunkalicious guy who dares backtalk her and calls her a niña (little girl). A niña! However, as soon as Blondie’s out of the room, a nervous little smile appears on her face.

Capitulo
62: The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
Viewer Discretion is Advised. The author recommends that viewers make certain the door to the vomitorium is wide open and a path cleared toward it.
Lo
del pasado
Alonssso
gets back on the phone to Leoncerdo to send him after Andres once
again. Leoncerdo appears to have the sense to be afraid of El
Diablo (but lacks the knowledge of sophisticated phones).
Lo
de nuevo
Hostal
de Amanda: Aaron updates Andres over the exchange with
Francisco about the power of attorney. Andres decides to inform
Becerrra about this. Aaron tells him he will await his instructions and expresses his sympathy over the mala
suerte Andres has to have a father like Francisco. Andres has no
illusions about all this. He decides to take advantage over the
differences El Diablo and Hissadora are having and use that in their favour.
Ximeana's
Room: She calls Bruno to tell him she has his money. She can't wait to get this over with, tossing the cell phone on the bed in disgust.
