Amor Bravío #98 (Uni 93) Fri 1/4/13 Al's Swansong Is The Egg That Isadora’s Golden Goose Has Just Laid
Cap# 98
Lo Del Pasado:
Alonso’s life at its best
and its worst has passed before his eyes as Aloco-destined-for-Limbo-lonso
heaves his smeary-eyed last and heads for “lo más allá” [the great beyond];
Nurse Chihuahua, aka, Chayo, aka Rosario, sits there next to his bed and truly
is the only one who mourns. (QEPD Not!!!)
Lo Del Nuevo:
Eventually the crash cart team which consists
of only the doc and his sidekick, Nurse #2, reach Long-Gone-Lonso's room. After a couple
of minutes of half-hearted attempts at resuscitation (maybe this doc is another Kevorkian fan?) the doc checks his watch to mark the time of death and calls it a day. Rosario is left to sob the only genuine tears of grief
and to cover up Al’s only remaining movable part.

Por ella soy Eva #118 1/4/13: The Truth Is Out There, Helena, Don't Trust Mr. Sharkey or the Chupacabra
I'm a huge fan of the X-Files and it occured to me, watching this epi, that JC/Eva is sort of like Fox Mulder, looking for the truth, Helena is more like Dana Scully, she wants to beleive JC but she is stymied by Mr Sharkey (Pluti) and the sucking Chupacabra (Rebe) that just sucks the joy out of anything, even Pluti. This recap will not be in order.
So we had the Councilman that came to see Helena and tells her that nothing is being done at the Playa, they made an agreement, someone is playing dirty pool and he doesn't think it is Helena, but could be someone at G.I. Rebe hears the whole thing.
Rebe in her office, so gleeful, and she thinks it is time to get rid of Helena, but first she wants to ruin her. She is a Chupacabra after all. So she calls some press people I think, to set up a press conference on the star of G.I., the Playa.

Amores Verdaderos #39 Thu 1/3/13 Both Angel with Hugs and RoboHunk with the blues are set up to look as baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad boys... Dances with Wolves might regret his new conquest
Refrito:
At KenDrat’s apt, she and Nil-Son have consummated, he praises her as a master at sensations of pleasure, she feeds him a whole bowl of crap about it not being about sex, she truly has fallen in love. Her cel phone rings, he reaches it before her, it is ‘Puchis’, so Nil-Son’s face of happy changes to jealousy, ‘who the hayride is Puchis??’
At the hotel room, Angel has arrived, sees all the deco and is drooling on the night he is about to enjoy. Suddenly music begins and the lights go dim, he has a screen in front of him with the one he believes is his wife dancing on the other side… I have to say I do believe this might be Erika herself. He begins to dance and undress as well while she continues her seductive dancing. He gets on top of the coffee table (must be a strong table), he tosses his shirt over her ‘screen’. Then he smears something from the table all over his chest (Yuk!), then continues dancing on the other side of the screen. Once he screams ‘darn, woman! Let loose your hair please!!’ Vicky realizes it is him and she yells his name. Down comes the screen right on top of Angel.
Lo Nuevo:
Still at hotel room…
They are in shock, he runs toward the other end of room and tries to cover himself with the wine bucket. Lights come back on (who is at the lights?). She yells at him, he becomes a nervous wreck, then he tries to cover himself with some flowers off the table. She keeps yelling for him to cover up. He yells at her to do same.
Back at KenDrat’s apt,. she has managed to take the phone from Nil-Son after telling him it is her aunt calling. Of course it is Dances with Sunglasses, who is irritated asking if she is with the imbecile Nil-Son. Nil-Son is getting up to leave, but not before accepting to have chinese food dinner with KenDrat. KenDrat is making it sound like her aunt is coming over to visit her soon. Once she is alone, she asks DwS if he got news on the lovebirds (tortolitos). DwS says they must be having a good time, they are still in room. He is leaving, so get rid of Nil-Son. She says he is gone. DwS says he is tired of eating the crumbs/leftovers, he will go elsewhere to have a good time. She says go for it and hangs up, she is drooling to find out details of what happened with the video of the lovebirds.
Back at Hotel: Vicky keeps making Angel more and more nervous, yelling at him not to look at her. IN between yelling at him she puts on the dress, and questions him why he is there and naked. He says he will ask her the same question. As he puts back the screen, she gets to take another good look at his profile through the screen. They exchange notes, they both received notes from spouses. They both realize someone is trying to harm them. But who and why. Angel says the bottle and invitation were in his room at her house, so the enemy must be in the house. Vicky says it must be someone who hates her and wants to harm her, they have to leave right away.
(I have to say these two communicate much better than Vicky and Nil-Son or Angel and Cristy) Angel says whoever did this has lots of money, look at all they spent preparing this. Asks Vicky if she suspects anyone. Vicky says I suspect everyone and no one at same time. They both are embarrassed at what they just did, but they continue dancing (LOL!). She wants to leave right away, but he stops her, reminds her someone could be out there waiting to see them leave together. Angel suggests to call DwS to come pick her up. She say DwS is not there. Then RoboHunk. Vicky is worried RH will suspect what is not happening. Angel says yeah but we have to do something… they continue arguing behind the screen… Suddenly a knock on door, it is the hotel maid… another awkward scene… Angel tells her ‘this is supposed to be a private room, we would like to not be interrupted, there is no one here!’ (poor maid runs away embarrassed) Vicky keeps nervous saying she wants to leave. Angel says sure we just have to think real good about what we will do. Angel insists they should have RoboHunk come get her and he will stay behind in room for a while longer. She reminds him his wife must be waiting for him. Angel says oopsie, yourright!... he starts dialing RoboHunk on cell phone but hums the song they just danced to, she tells him he is making her feel worse, he admits he really liked the melody… they end up giggling about it.
Poor RoboHunk still in teary eyes on his bed answers the call, Angel asks him to pick up Vicky at the hotel lobby, call her when you get here… it is just that DwS is busy and I am in my night off… RoboHunk dryly says he will leave right now.
At the apartment, Lilly and Bea and son are leaving Cristina alone to enjoy the evening with her husband. Cristy is happy anticipating a great evening.
At hotel, Vicky asks Angel for a huge favor, forget everything that happened here, I will do same. Angel promises her he will make a huge effort to forget this… she asks him not to dance anymore, maybe that way you will forget sooner. Vicky mumbles to herself she would give anything to find out who planned this nasty prank and what for.
At B house, Nicky is kicking/insulting herself with regret for having gone to see RoboHunk since he pushed her out if his room, she is thinking he is thinking of the woman who sent him the photo (Bea). She feels he humiliated her, surely that woman is a horrific jerk… but if he is with her, why did he kiss me? … he is a jerk!! He does not get paid enough and he wants my kisses as a bonus/tip! Later, eating a huge bag of chips, she promises herself she will do anything she can to get him out of her house and her life.
In kitchen, Tomasina is daydreaming how nice it must be going to Vicky right about now… She thinks Nil-Son felt jealous of Angel and turned his passion dial up with Vicky. RoboHunk tells her he is going to pick up Vicky. Tomasina is in shock.
Cristina has set up a lovely dinner table at the apartment, and is drooling in anticipation of the evening. She has dressed up and got makeup on, even put on a seductive cologne that is seducing even herself with.
Polita and Lilli are commenting in the green house, Polita tells her all about her Cinderella date with RoboHunk, she even declared her love for him. But he told her he did not want a relationship with her or with anyone. Lilly says that is how men are, they are avoiding commitment, but suddenly the right girl comes to them and they are hooked. Polita asks if she has any chance. Lilly says RoboHunk could fall for a girl anytime.
At a bar that looks like a cave, Bea is looking for ‘Leonardo’. (her husband). She is hesitating to go inside. Inside, Dances with Sunglasses is dancing the night away and even singing along to … what else?... salsa! As Bea comes in she walks around and is scanned bottom to top by some men around. Dances with Sunglasses also spots her.
At another bar, Leonardo is telling some other guy what he told her. He says things will be done his way. The other guy asks if he would not like to know if she did show up at that place. Leonardo is saying Bea knows him, she knows what she is risking by being with another man, neither of them would ‘no lo cuenta’ (live long enough to tell about it).
At the other bar Bea realizes Leonardo is not coming, but Dances with Sunglasses grabs her before she can leave. He says he did not mean to startle her. Introduces himself and adds his nickname. Bea asks ‘did you say Salsero?’ He says yeah, it is obvious, for me salsa is the best invention of man.
She says salsa is her favorite genre too. She says her appointment did not arrive so she is leaving. HE says please stay a while longer, maybe that person is just a bit late. Some drunk guy comes and bumps her, Salsero plays bodyguard (LOL!) for a second and shoves the guy away. He manages to convince her to stay a while and they sit in the ‘Reserved’ table. She says she used to come with her ‘boyfriend’ and they would dance the night away. He turns down a girl that comes to ask him to dance. They chit chat for a while.
At the apartment, Cristina is getting upset that Jose Angel won’t arrive. And she waits… and she waits. She gives up and heads to bed. At that moment Angel arrives… and her smiles and happiness of earlier are long gone… she welcomes him with same angry jealous rage of usual.
He manages to convince her with hugs and kisses… we are alone?... how alone?... Kissy kissy…
At B house, Vicky arrives… Polita tells her Nil-Son said he was going to have dinner with some friends. Tomasina comes to find out what happened with Nil-Son. Vicky says please don’t ask.
Later she goes up to Nicky’s room and finds her throwing up. Nicky won’t talk about why she did not tell anyone she did not feel well. Nicky throws conforter on herself… Vicky is still thinking… nausea, sleepiness… those are signs of pregnancy… dear God.
At bar, Bea and Dances keep on their chit chat… she feels bad and wants to leave. He grabs her hand and asks her to dance with him. And they dance… and they look pretty good, as if they have danced together for a good while… but she still looks hesitating, like she is afraid for what is to come.
Outside B house, Nabila is still bugging RoboHunk, questions if he does not like women. He responds I do but not women of your type. She gets offended. She questions if he thinks she is disgusting (nefasta). He says ‘you said it, I didn’t’. She threatens him that he will pay dearly for this one. He asks why is he going to pay for something she said. She says if you think I am bad, I will SHOW YOU bad. And leaves in a huff. RoboHunk rolls his eyes, like thinking he got bigger problems to deal with than this brat.
Inside the house Tomasina and Vicky comment on their suspicion of what is happening with Nicky, then when Nabila comes in Vicky makes the mistake of trusting her with their suspicions.
Nabila follows the lead, she does also think Nicky is pregnant. She assures Vicky that Nicky got pregnant by Francisco (now we see how BAD this girl can be).
At some chinese food place, Nil-Son and KenDrat are lauging off about some stories KenDrat is making up about either a friend or her aunt.
At the bar, Bea is leaving, almost running out of the place… She is signaling to a cab… but drops a scarf which Dances with Sunglasses very conveniently picks up.. ‘you didn’t even tell me your name’. (does this sound like Cinderella with the glass slipper to anyone else?) Nil-Son calls Dances on cel, seems he wants Dances to pick him up. When he hangs up Dances is miffed about Nil-Son acting like Dances is his lap dog 24/7.
At the apartment, Cristina is watching some cops/bang bang movie and gets scared, but Jose Angel is sound asleep. He is actually dreaming of Vicky… he is whispering … ‘bella, bella, bella’ (beautiful), then moving his hand like he is dancing to that tune they had at the hotel room.
Back at B house, Vicky is telling Tomasina about what Nabila told her. How could he betray our trust? .. Tomasina blames it in the chinese horoscope. A combination of dragon with monkey with a metal goat. Is explosive! No wonder Nicky came out of his bathroom drenched while Guzman was inside! This startles Vicky even more. No wonder Nicky was so interested in finding out if Guzman was married or not… (in comes said Guzman to get some coffee, Vicky summons him to the table).
V: I want to know why you lied to me… why didn’t you tell me that Nicky was pregnant with your child. (Poor RoboHunk’s chin is down on floor)
Previews: KenDrat is watching the video… seems they do show the video to Nil-Son (apparently using the black wig character and the video room at the office) and the plan works.
Guzman asks Vicky if Nicky is pregnant, Vicky says don’t deny it, it is yours! Apparently Vicky wants him to comply with his ‘duty’ and Nicky is only too happy to follow along with this skid.

Amor Bravío #97 (Uni 92) Thu 1/3/13 Amor Comprobado
Pablo and Luzma are having a pre-matrimonial chat with Padre Anselmo. Pablo hedges about his baptism certificate, saying his mom…er…couldn’t find it. Padre Anselmo says somehow his dad did manage to and he sent it over earlier. "I have a feeling your dad is coming around." Pablo and Luzma are shocked and delighted.
In the hospital cafeteria, Isadora continues flirting with Cayetano, playing the damsel in distress, needing a big manly shoulder to lean on. Cayetano has been so drawn in that he extends an offer of money to help her. Dumb. Ass. Isa whines that she might have to move away from there and find a job like a normal person. Cayetano says no worries, he'll help her. She just needs to concentrate on her own needs. Yeah, that's just the way Isa likes it. She says she wants him in her life for good. Yuck!

Amor Bravío #96 (Uni 91) Wed 1/2/13 “Vengeance Will Be Mine Said the Fly to the Spider”
Old news in
the Pueblo:
El Rancho Albarran:
Mariano and
Camila continue the discussion of the upcoming nuptials of Pablo and
Luzma. They both agree that the young
couple doesn’t want to wait any longer so they will proceed in planning the
wedding party. The question is where to have the boooodaa, that’s boda party! The Malquerida is out because the ghost of
Ximena hasn’t been gone long enough. And
the Buenaventura is out because the bad witch Rocio hasn’t had the flying house
land on her yet (Pablo’s parents aren’t ready to give in to his marrying Luzma
– no van a ceder). So Amanda, the good
witch’s name, is suggested along with her homey hospitable hostel. Camila throws up her hands, yet again, about
what a tipazo (special guy in this case) Mariano is to have come up with this
idea (because the next suggestion on the list was the hospital waiting
room).
El Rancho
Albarran:
Speaking of
the Buenaventura, Pablo makes a visit to the wicked witch to ask for his
baptismal papers (Fe del Bautismo).
Rocio predictably rants and raves and refuses; so much so that even
Cayetano tries to get her to give up her war against Pablo’s pending boda. Pablo leaves empty-handed, but not before
calling mumsy on her b***s*** and decides to just go to the church and get a
copy for himself. Rocio is left
distraught and nearly chokes when Cayetano suggests he would rather she give
into Pablo’s request than risk losing his son forever. “Estas loco?” she sputters.

Amores Verdaderos #38 Wed 1/2/13 50 Shades of Embarrassment
I mean, seriously.
* So, lo refrito from yesterday: Kendra tries to sneak out of the superheroes’ room quietly but she’s caught by Tomasina. She says she was looking for Salsero. Why, how can she don’t know that he is in the hospital taking care of his sick mother? Isn’t she his girlfriend or something? Kendra mumbles something about how their relationship sucks and she only came to break up with Sunglasses. Anyhoo, she’s busy so she has to leave, adios! Tomasina uses her super horoscopic skills to analyze those two: Kendrat is a snake (Viewerville: we knew it!) and Salsero is a monkey (LOL), they are not supposed to be together.

Por ella soy Eva #116 1/2/12: A Mistress Passes, Ferni FInds a Job and Mimi Has a Record
Happy New Year!!!!!!
We start off with Rebeca trying to rip a new one to Oneismo; she throws him out of her office. She insults him, (for once I wish that a profound thought would come out of the mouth of that animal print goddess) and she tells him that she is tired of him lying to her just to get a look at her body. Mimi sees him the hallway and remembers him trying to sneak into Eva’s room. She tries to catch him on the elevator and he shuts the door in her face. Mimi wonders what was he doing at GI and she has a funny feeling about him.
Oneismo realizes that Mimi recognized him and that would mean trouble for him.
In Helena’s office, Lucia, Helena and Eva talk about a wedding date. Lucia can’t understand why they have such nonchalant attitudes about their weddings. Eva asks Lucia for the 411 about Renato and Loose Lips says that they have broken up because he was gay but she has only told Helena. They are the only 3 that know for now. Lucia asks for Renato and Eva tells her that he is away on family business and he is fine.
In Puebla- Renato and Claudia are hugging. Claudia updates Renato on where she is living. Renato asks Claudia why hadn’t she used his number to call her and she says that you told us to only call you in an emergency. Claudia is afraid and doesn’t know what to do in the event that their mom dies.
Helena is worried because as long as she has known Lucia, she is not a person to keep a secret. Eva says that there is always a first time. Eva warns Helena that it’s not a good idea to tell Lucia about Juan Carlos being alive.
Eva tells Helena about the cd being in Rebeca’s computer. Is Rebeca involved?
Mimi interrupts to get her cousin.
At the hospital- it is looking bleak. It is just matter of time. Modesto for once shows a tad bit of emotion, and starts his own pity party. Claudia asks Eugenia- what are you doing here?
Mad Dad tells his friend that Silvia acted like she didn’t know him and doesn’t ever want to see him again in her life. Mad Dad’s friend says that he believes that Silvia wants a divorce and he is the only one responsible. His friend says that you have to do whatever it takes to win her back and save your marriage, (Let’s start with a lobotomy) Does he know anything about romance and courting?
Modesto finally speaks up and tells Claudia to stop, Eugenia brought her there so that she wouldn’t have to come alone, don’t be the ungrateful (little bitch that you are). Claudia goes on to say that Eugenia wants to make fun of her mother. Renato asks her why is she speaking to Eugenia like that and Claudia tells him, you don’t know her, she hates our mother. (Claudia tell the whole story) Modesto just says don’t talk foolishness. (Modesto is too laid back for me, a very unemotional man, whose priorities are all askew.)
Claudia continues to insult Eugenia and tells her to leave. Modesto asks that Eugenia forgive his daughter, and Eugenia (the class act that she is, ) says that she understands the pain that Claudia is feeling. Eugenia leaves and Renato thanks Eugenia for allowing him the last opportunity to see his mother.
Mimi tells Eva about Oneismo. It was very suspicious that he was at GI and coming from the snake Rebeca’s office. Now they need to find out what is Rebeca’s involvement.
Fernando is walking around the company with the friend of Daniel’s father (the man is looking at him like he is crazy) He takes Fernando to his office; he is the Director of the Dead Files. Good luck!!! He may actually have to work.
Carmen wants to speak to Luis
Mimi comes to the radio station, as the Beauty and Health advisor.
Carmen asks Luis/Renato for forgiveness. One for not giving him a father that could be with him, two for turning her back on him when he needed her the most, she was educated differently and not open to different lifestyles.
The topic for the radio show is the importance of getting periodic medical examinations. In the event of an illness, it’s important that with early detection some illnesses can be treated, Mimi tells about a friend that she knows has never has HIV testing. It never occurred to her. During this lady’s pregnancy she was tested and she was HIV positive. The baby was born healthy. It’s important to have frequent exams. (I think that I missed something there)
Carmen had a hard time realizing that Renato was different- gay. Renato asks for forgiveness because of his pride he didn’t even want to come see her even though she was gravely ill. Carmen tells him to be strong and take care of the little bitch sister oops, Claudia, Carmen is in a lot of pain.
Then Mimi starts gossiping about stars while waiting for the phones to ring.
An unknown man calls- asking about a young singer from the Norte who disappeared? They called me- Jilguerillo culiche. Does she remember Dagoberto Preciado? She was very impactada.
Carmen asks Modesto to look after the kids.
She tells starts to tell Claudia that she loves…. But then passes away.
Eva goes into Rebeca’s office under the pretense of finding out details about the 25th anniversary, Rebeca with her nasty self, tells Eva ,oh Renato is in charge. They put someone more chic than she. (He definitely has more class)
Rebeca cuts to the chase and asks Eva, what does she want to know?
Pluto bursts into Helena’s office and gives her a kiss, she just responds with an Um, right away Pluti wants to know what’s wrong. Are you still upset about Lalito? Helena says that she is worried about the (fake) FITSA construction company. She has not received any information from them. She feels responsible because she is in charge of the project. She wants to eat dinner alone with Lalito and Pluti thought that he could slide in and make things better, but Helena shut him down. Maybe they can dine out on the weekend.
Maxine Woodside asks Mimi if the mystery caller is a fan or an old friend? They were artistic partners back in the day, but a crying Mimi said that the partnership was over when one partner betrayed the other. He was hung up on. They cut to commercial. Maxine wanted details, but Mimi said that he was a “rata con dos patas”- a 2-legged rat.
Carmen was pronounced dead. Renato dragged a distraught Claudia out of the room. Modesto calls out to a lifeless Carmen.
Eva wants to know who was the short man that just left her office, a worker or a boyfriend. Rebeca downplays it saying it was jus someone doing something for her, her driver. Rebeca says –lets’ take off the masks- all you want to do is to get me fired from GI, but it won’t happen. Rebeca lets Eva know that she is a lion and Eva corrects her, she is nothing but a house cat and no one wants her fired. Not yet! Eva reminds her that she is still a shareholder at the company.
Adriano is in his office having a hissy fit about finding a paper regarding the anniversary that Renato had. Adriano lets the blue dresses know what we have known all along that they are useless.
Modesto calls Adriano to tell him that they have been friends for so many years and that he could tell him what was going on, Carmen, the mother of his children lost the battle to cancer. Adriano didn’t know that she was sick. He lets Adriano know that Eva his fiancé was a close friend of Eugenia and she knew all about it. Adriano was surprised.
Rebeca lets Pluti know that Eva is very interested in the 411 about Oneismo.
Lucia is looking for Renato and the blue dresses have not seen him. Lucia lets the blue dresses know that she and Renato are NOT an item. She told the blue dresses not to get excited because none of them are Renato’s type.
Rebeca tries to throw Oneismo under the bus. Pluti was not interested. She lets him know that if he is looking for his Little Red Riding Hood, he can find her at grandma’s house.
A drunken Santi is passed out asleep on a mattress on the floor of his empty apartment and Lucia is trying to reach him by phone.
Lucia goes into a soliloquy about a trying to reach a friend by phone and he is not answering. Eva sees through the foolishness and says that she knows that is trying to call Santiago. There is always a tragedy-surrounding Lucia.
Adriano asks Eva – why doesn’t she have confidence in him. Why is she hiding things from him?
Helena and Lalito are having breakfast and Lalito asks if Helena is angry with him. Helena’ asks why did he keep the secret from her. He thought that his mom would be angry with him. Lalito clarifies that Pluti wanted him to cheat. (Does Helena get it?) He felt bad for the girl and she was crying. Tomorrow Helena and Lalo are going to the school to speak to the Principal and let the runner up know about the cheating. Lalo asked if he is going to be punished but Helena says that there has to be a consequence for what he did because it wasn’t right. Lalo is punished for 2 days without TV. He asked for 4 days. (A this point the child seems to be the most sensible one in the family)
Eva didn’t share such a delicate subject with Adriano because it involved her friend, Eugenia, who is a famous actress. From here on out they will be less formal with each other. Adriano was delighted. Have some confidence in your fiancé. Adriano wants to go to Pueblo to the funeral and Eva is prohibiting from going. (Remember Renato is there) Adriano wants to be there for his friend, Modesto.
Strong Silvia realizes that if she returns to Mad Dad, things would be worse.
Mad Dad’s friend brings some food for them to eat. Mad Dad will not permit the divorce to take place.
Mad Dad wants to reconquer Strong Silvia. (This should be interesting.)
Silvia wants to buy the nursery so that the owner can spend more time with her husband. Helena and Silvia will become partners. Helena will put up the money and Silvia will work.
Eva goes to see Eugenia, whose calls go straight to voicemail. Eva finds out that Eugenia is locked up in her room. Eva knocks on Eugenia’s door and Eugenia explains that she is hurt watching Modesto suffer for Carmen. Juan encourages Eugenia to take her medicine and she obliges
Mimi is looking at a scrapbook of her past stardom, newspaper articles that say that she had a good future and that she was behind bars, something about a fugitive and starts she crying.
Coming attractions:
Eva can’t take anymore- his mother, the proof, of his innocence, trying to win back Helena- the pressure!!!!

Por ella soy Eva #116 1/2/13: Will Santi Putrefy?
It occurs to me that I'm confused about what day it is. I was sure I was supposed to blog tonight, and I just did, but now I think it's Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Sorry everybody.
As I turned on the tv, Rebe was sending Onesimo away. Haven't we had this scene before? She looks a little worried this time. He chuckles as he leaves. Mimi watches suspiciously, recognizing him as the one who was spying on "Eva" back at the pension.
Helena and Eva, both wearing magenta, tell Lucia they don't have dates for their marriages. Neither seems very excited about getting married. Lucia tells them Renato is gay but it's a secret.
Helena feels guilty she hasn't told Lucia JC is alive. Eva reports: she caught Rebeca snooping in the computer system.
At the hospital in Puebla Renato is hugging his sister Claudia and asking why she never called him. "You said only call in emergencies."
The doctor tells Modesto there's nothing more to be done for Carmen. Modesto does not alter his customary dyspeptic look. Eugenia is there to be a comfort but she's very hurt when he says "I should have spent more time with Carmen taking care of her, loving her." Claudia snarls: "She's just here to make fun of us, she hates my mother and wishes she was dead. She should leave!" Renato thanks her, though, for caring, and for getting "Eva" to tell him to come see his mom the last time.
Eduardo's lawyer friend tells him "Silvia really means it about the divorce this time and you deserve it. If you want her you have to really try to reconquer her."
Mimi tells JC about seeing Onesima with Rebeca. He must be implicated in the fraud.
Looks like Fer is really trying to get a job. He walks with a guy down the hall, arrogantly talking about future advancement etc. He is crestfallen when shown to his tiny new office: he's now director of the dead documents department. (At Time, Life Inc. where my mom and aunt used to work, they called the library of old articles etc "the morgue.")
Carmen wakes up, she tells Renato: "I don't want to leave without asking your pardon, for so many things, for not having given you a father who would have been with you, for turning my back when you needed me. I understand now that you're different." Renato says HE apologizes for his pride and arrogance and self-absorption and for not coming to see her. They make up; she says, take care of your sister, she needs you, and fix up things with your dad. Modesto tells her he always loved her. She tells the kids she loves them and croaks. Modesto scratches his ear dyspeptically.
Mimi, a radio show consultant on beauty and romance, delivers a Public Service Announcement about women getting proper medical exams: She knows a woman who never got checked for HIV until she was pregnant, turns out she was positive, but because she got treated her baby was born healthy. Then they talk about old movie stars. A call comes in for Mimi from/about a guy who describes himself as a semi-famous guy who disappeared, a nortena. Turns out, it's Dagoberto Preciso calling. She is impactada. "We were artistic allies once," she yells "but one of us betrayed the other. Adios jerk!"
Eva to Rebeca: "How are the plans for the anniversary party? And by the way, who was that guy leaving your office? Is he a boyfriend?" Rebeca says "You're trying to get me fired but I will defend my employment like a lion." "You're more like a housecat," Eva purrs/smirks as she leaves. Rebecca tells Pluto that Eva is on to Onesimo the evil henchman. "You'd do better to re-ally yourself with me." He blows her off.
Helena does not want a kiss from Pluto, because she now knows he got Lalo to cheat at the Science Fair. She's also worried because the [fake] construction company [made by Pluto to defraud the company] FITSA is not getting anything done at the Playa. She says she'll solve it. She doesn't want to go to dinner with him, she doesn't want him at her house.
Adri is yelling at three of the blue dresses because Renato can't be found and they can't find his party documents. Modesto phones Adri: "We haven't seen each other much, but right now you're the only person I can tell what's happened to me. Carmen just died. Oh, you didn't know? I thought your fiancee would have told you since she's friends with Eugenia."
Santy is passed out on a bare mattress next to an empty bottle, his head on his shoes, not answering Lucia's call. Lucia tells Eva she's worried about "a friend" who lives alone. Eva doesn't assuage her worries: "Too bad when people are alone they DIE and people only find out by the smell of their PUTREFIED BODIES!"
Adri runs after Eva to yell at her: "Why don't you trust me, why don't you tell me things, what's going on?" To deflect his rage Eva announces: "As of today we are going to use "tu" with each other!" Adri wants to go to the funeral, Eva doesn't want him to go (he'd see Renato there) and forbids him to attend to the funeral, but he says he's going anyway.
Helena wonders why Lalo took so long to tell her about cheating. "Plutarco told me sometimes it's fine to cheat to get what you want." Helena says he should apologize to that girl he cheated, she'll come with him while he does it. His punishment will be two days without TV. "I want four days."
Eduardo says he's going to forbid the divorce and will try to win Silvia back. Silvia is worried about him but is moving forward, her new plan: her boss is retiring and she wants to buy the business. Helena says she can put up the money for her mom, they can be partners. (What her mom did for HER with the travel agency.)
JC goes to find his mom. Eugenia has locked her door and is seeing nobody. JC goes up with medicine, she lets him in and admits she's heartbroken that Modesto was so upset: "Your father really loved her, I felt so humiliated." JC jokes her out of her funk enough to take her medicine.
Mimi is sad at home. She pulls out a scrapbook of her early career as a singer in a cowboy hat, called Jilguerillo (some kind of bird). Dang, I was distracted when the headlines explaining the problem flashed by, but Dagoberto was Mimi's agent and at some point she went to jail. Anybody catch it?
As I turned on the tv, Rebe was sending Onesimo away. Haven't we had this scene before? She looks a little worried this time. He chuckles as he leaves. Mimi watches suspiciously, recognizing him as the one who was spying on "Eva" back at the pension.
Helena and Eva, both wearing magenta, tell Lucia they don't have dates for their marriages. Neither seems very excited about getting married. Lucia tells them Renato is gay but it's a secret.
Helena feels guilty she hasn't told Lucia JC is alive. Eva reports: she caught Rebeca snooping in the computer system.
At the hospital in Puebla Renato is hugging his sister Claudia and asking why she never called him. "You said only call in emergencies."
The doctor tells Modesto there's nothing more to be done for Carmen. Modesto does not alter his customary dyspeptic look. Eugenia is there to be a comfort but she's very hurt when he says "I should have spent more time with Carmen taking care of her, loving her." Claudia snarls: "She's just here to make fun of us, she hates my mother and wishes she was dead. She should leave!" Renato thanks her, though, for caring, and for getting "Eva" to tell him to come see his mom the last time.
Eduardo's lawyer friend tells him "Silvia really means it about the divorce this time and you deserve it. If you want her you have to really try to reconquer her."
Mimi tells JC about seeing Onesima with Rebeca. He must be implicated in the fraud.
Looks like Fer is really trying to get a job. He walks with a guy down the hall, arrogantly talking about future advancement etc. He is crestfallen when shown to his tiny new office: he's now director of the dead documents department. (At Time, Life Inc. where my mom and aunt used to work, they called the library of old articles etc "the morgue.")
Carmen wakes up, she tells Renato: "I don't want to leave without asking your pardon, for so many things, for not having given you a father who would have been with you, for turning my back when you needed me. I understand now that you're different." Renato says HE apologizes for his pride and arrogance and self-absorption and for not coming to see her. They make up; she says, take care of your sister, she needs you, and fix up things with your dad. Modesto tells her he always loved her. She tells the kids she loves them and croaks. Modesto scratches his ear dyspeptically.
Mimi, a radio show consultant on beauty and romance, delivers a Public Service Announcement about women getting proper medical exams: She knows a woman who never got checked for HIV until she was pregnant, turns out she was positive, but because she got treated her baby was born healthy. Then they talk about old movie stars. A call comes in for Mimi from/about a guy who describes himself as a semi-famous guy who disappeared, a nortena. Turns out, it's Dagoberto Preciso calling. She is impactada. "We were artistic allies once," she yells "but one of us betrayed the other. Adios jerk!"

Por ella soy Eva #115 1/1/13: JC/Eva Meets His/Her Brother; Loose Lips Sink Ships
Hey Y'all I am putting up another discussion post and if Melinama or Ezra put up a recap will take this one down. I didn't see the whole epi again, so whatever I didn't see, please fill in.
Claudia is all witchy to Eugenia about Carmen. She thinks that Eugenia purposely kept Carmen's illness from her. Eugenia is impatient and shakes Claudia into trying to listen, and tells her she is taking Claudia to Puebla cause her Mama Carmen is in a bad way. They go.
Eva is calling Luis' cell phone and Renato's phone rings. Renato wants to know why Eva is calling him since he is standing right there. Eva instead asks if his name is Luis? Well, yeah he says, my first name is Luis, but I am using my middle name Renato. Eva explains that a friend of hers has been trying to find him. He wants to know what friend, uh, Eugenia Mistrail of course. Seems his Mama Carmen ain't doing well and they have been trying to find him, to tell him of course. Well, Renato says that he is dead to his mother, and Eva shakes him and tells him to go to Puebla to see his Mama cause she is badly off and may not make it, doncha know. He is rattled and doesn't know what is what, Eva says she will tell Adri, she tells him to git already, so he goes. Eva does go to Adri and tells him that Carmen isn't doing well and Renato has gone to Puebla. Adri is ok with that, and is sad for Renato as is Eva. When Eva is alone in her office, she goes to JC mode and he says that Renato is my brother. Mimi comes by and Eva in JC mode tells her about Renato being his brother.

Amores Verdaderos #37 Tue 1/1/13 Fighting Over the Tender Morsels of Man Candy
Lo siento, you knew you'd hear it from me again. Totally phoning it in. Not even pretending to do screenshots. Too much going on today (well, yesterday). Stress. Drama. You don't want to know! In fact Amores was a welcome diversion!
BRIEF(ISH) RECAP. EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER. EVENTS MAY NOT BE ACCURATELY PORTRAYED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
Refried: Nabila the slutty ball of crazy is chatting with Nikki by the pool. She sees our more mature morsel of man candy (Big Angel) approach and drapes herself all over him. He is polite but keeps a formal distance. She even tries to faint so he'll pick her up. He shows gentlemanly concern, but no more. Vicki comes in to break up all the fun with that. She asks Big Angel something about him covering for Salsero (Sunglasses dude) since Salsero's mom is on her deathbed *cough*not*cough*.
* Nelson the Useless is discombobulated because his slutty mistress Kendra has shown up at the house. He also has some weird words with his former main squeeze, Nabila, who really gets around.

Amor Bravío #95 (Uni 90) Tue 1/1/13 Prospero Ano Nuevo! Tonight, an ode to Ximena, y con ganas: “Te Odio-o-o-o-o, Te Odio-o-o-o-o”; Tie up your chickens folks, it’s gonna be a bumpy night!
Hospital
Rosario has figured out that the woman who passes herself
off as Alonso’s mother, really isn’t!
Alonso is panicking and hyper-ventilating as he recalls that his
biological mother was called Chayo.
Rosario reminds him that Chayo and Rosario are the same – a rose by any
other name, etc. Alonso freaks and says just because she’s named Rosario
doesn’t mean she can be his mother. Get
me outta here! She asks if he thinks it
couldn’t be possible she is his mother.
He knows his mother was a maid.
Rosario admits yes, a maid who later educated herself and became a
nurse. Alonso finally seems to be
getting it and Rosario says it aloud, “I’m the one who gave birth to you! I am your true madre!”

Amores Verdaderos #36 Fri 12/28/12 Fooled Around And Fell In Love or The Rumble In The Manse
Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman. You know I always start my recaps with a little theme. Tonight is about first love. After seeing Guzmancito and Nikki kiss, I sat and reflected. Close your eyes and remember your first love. Remember the butterflies, the not being sure he/she is the one, will he/she call? Does he/she love you back? Is this love? Ahhh, the good old days when we were young and foolish. But that being said, we know that Nikki and Guzmancito do love each other very much. They are doing the dance around each other, feeling each other out so to speak and hiding their love for each other and hence the title of the song, Fooled Around and Fell in Love, by the Marvelous Elvin Bishop. So now on to the recap.
So we start this epi with Mami and daughter having that convo about love, doncha know. Nikki is wanting her Mama to check if Guzmi is really married, but she won't do that till Monday, when she checks his resume, but Nikki herself wants to go manana to ask the secretary to check it for her, only problem is tomorrow is Sunday and the office is closed. And why doesn't Nikki ask him ya know, directly??? And why are you interested anyhow??? Or should Mama even be asking??? Well enough of that, Mami would you fall in love with a bodyguard?? Que Que What???? So Mami explains a person's job doesn't matter, they could be anything. And what matters is that they are human beings, but Nikki wants to know more. Well, Mami could you fall in love with YOUR bodyguard, of course not silly Nikki, I am a married woman she answers. So Nikki wants to know even more, and her Mami explains that class is hard to overcome, but LOVE TRUMPS ALL. Imagine that!!! Who knew. Now Nikki wants to know if class isn't that important, then why didn't her Mami marry that first boyfriend of hers, hmmmm???? So her Mami tells her yes, he was poor, GrandPapi didn't like him and besides it's a long story and I'll tell you one day, but now it's time for bed. So Nikki gets in the bed, but wants her Mami to stay with her longer, there is a little wrestling, play biting and I'll eat you up if you dont' go to bed, but Ms Vikki, ends ups sitting on the bed and spending some time with her girly.
