Por ella soy Eva #133 1/25/13: Sparks Fly; Chips Fall.
Fernando works the crowd at the anniversary celebration, handing out his resume and telling people he's looking for work. Santi spots him, and Fernando tries to tell him that this folder full of resumes that he's holding was left behind by some other people. ("North Americans" is a mildly sarcastic term for USAdians; Mexico is part of North America.) Fernando complains about his new job, but Santiago is impressed that they gave him time off to attend this conference. Fern seems nervous about running into Marcela, but Santi says she'll be doing her presentation soon.
But no she won't, because Rebeca has bumped Marcela's presentation to make room for a big-name expert on convention tourism. "I couldn't bump anyone else, but since no one knows who you are..." Helena tries to be supportive, but Rebeca is dismissive. "Just sit and listen to the expert, and maybe you'll learn something," she tells Marcela. "Maybe you can do your presentation next year."
(Alone, in a rare show of Lucero's comic abilities, Helena mimics Rebeca.)
Santi and Fernando encounter a job recruiter named Rodrigo Valenzuela. (He has dimples!) Fernando immediately begins sucking up to him. "Just save us both some time and give me your resume," Rodrigo says. He asks Fern if he'd be willing to travel overseas without his family. Fern says yes, he'd be willing to do that for his family.

Amores Verdaderos #55 Fri 1/25/13 Amores The Musical!!!
Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman. I love musicals and thought the other night, what if Amores were a musical? What type of music would it have? Operatic, R&B, Pop, Rap, Beatbox, Golden Oldies? Well you are in for a treat amigos y amigas. I have crafted a sort of musical Amores this evening. Hey, if they can make the Passion Pit a comedy play, that would be Abismo de Pasion, Amores can be a muscial, jus' sayin'. Read on amigos y amigas to see what I mean.

Telemundo y más, week of January 28, 2013
- · Jean and I post this page once a week.
- · The recaps -- usually far more succinct than those on the Univisión portion of CarayCaray -- are posted in the COMMENTS section below.
- · Since we put up this page late on Friday, the recaps run from Friday through Thursday.
- · Since we are talking about several different shows, we ask commenters to put the name of the show (and the day the episode was aired, if appropriate) at the top of each comment. That way, readers can find what they are looking for.
Telemundo
El secretario, the goofy little Colombian comedy, continues in its half-hour daytime slot. (10:30am/9:30c). Jody is writing about it once a week.

Weekend Discussion: Censorship, the Plague
- Friday night tends to be a sleeper time slot for English-language television
- Fewer Spanish-language networks means less fragmentation among the perceived potential viewers
- Gringos are getting more interested in telenovelas because of the exciting stories and hot actors. For Univision and Telemundo, those viewers are more salsa on the taco.

Amores Verdaderos #54 Thu 1/24/13 No hay peor ciego... ni peor sordo (there is no blinder man.... nor more deaf ears ... )
Refritos: At poolside, Nikki and her friend ‘ninito’ keep mocking Frankie, Frankie leaves after trying to keep his head up high with the visitor, Nikki and said ninito plan to get Polita fired, Niki refused to get Frankie fired or in trouble.
At her ‘not so private’ studio room, Vicky is looking at hundreds of her reflections and reflecting that all the recent events have created a catharsis in her soul. (I bet!)… and reads the poem she wrote inspired in her experiences… Alerta-Sina realizes Vicky just wrote an anagram (acrustico) … Angel is watching and listening from the top of the stairs. Tomasina says this must mean you have fallen in love with JAA. Vicky laughs it off, saying it is silly.Tomasina insists, her subconscious/soul spoke for her… ‘mas claro ni el agua’. Vicky insists Tomasina is wrong. She had never written a poem, how could my first be for Arriaga? Tomasina insists, if you are not in love now, you will! It is written for a water tiger and a fire dragon like the two of you.
Lo Nuevo:
Arriaga comes in, asks for leave so he can go talk to his wife to try to get her to understand how things happened… Vicky offers to go with him, he refuses, that would be like adding fuel to the fire (of course!, how silly of her to offer at all!). Arriaga leaves, Vicky hopes he will make Cris understand (wishful thinking, sister!).
At the car, Dances is talking to the lawyer, asking him to make that ‘loser’(Espanto) believe you will really get him out of jail. He hangs up. ‘problem solved’.
At MI offices, Bea is attending a phone call. It is Leo faking the voice tone. HE realizes she is receptionist there. Lets see how long it lasts you, chatita of mine…. Chatita of mine.
Cris, our leading racer in the blind and deaf ears contest… is on phone with her mother Candelaria. Cande is in disbelief of what Cris tells her JA did. (I don’t remember, does Candelaria know who JA works for?) Cande says can’t believe that of him after he has been faithful for over 20 yrs. Cris insists it all changed when he met that rich brat lady. Cande asks what will you do? Cris is clueless of next move. Cris basically invites herself to move out to her mom’s place. Mom is ok with it. Love you… yap yap…
Cris hangs up, tells Paula she has decided. She and Lilli are moving to Alamos with her mother today. Lilli comes out and takes the news like someone died, runs away upset. Paula asks ‘are you sure of what you are going to do? To destroy your marriage and affect your family?’ (em…. Hello Paula, didn’t you start this ball rolling in the first place by telling Cris the story as if you had seen Vicky and JA in bed together? Maybe it is a bit of reality check… now you can see with your own eyes what it feels to be on the other side of a married man’s affair). Cris goes away to cook and pack. Paula looks worried, if Cande could reveal in her letter to Anibal that they had a daughter, she could reveal it too to Arriaga’s wife! (and that would it make rain daggers at you with Anibal, wouldn’t it?)
Out to Balvanera manor general studio… Vicky is surprised Nil-brain-Son (clueless, blind, deaf runner up) is still there. He puts on a play of being the sacrificial lamb victim: ‘your refusal of making amends is draining out my energy (even to pack your bags and get outadodge??)’
She shrugs her shoulders like ‘what do I care?’ (YOU go GIRL!!) He of course insists he won’t give up. (has to follow her all around the room like a stalker) ‘What do you want?’ to recover you, what else? (lets see, some money? Some free Viagra? A free trip to a little Andres Garcia style pump surgery?? …) he also puts on the skid of asking her to give him another chance for the many years of happiness. Vicky is sad that they were so close to having got to 25 yr anniversary. ‘But those hopes came crashing down when I saw you “playing” with that woman’.
(she is doing a great job at retaining her ‘dignified’ attitude). ‘You knew it, you threw 25 yrs down the drain in a few mins!’. He insists… touches her face, she walks away. ‘I am going to ask you something, please tell the the truth… does that woman mean anything to you?’ ‘course not. Don’t sentence me for one mistake…’ … (she finally breaks down a bit, cries, admits she is in a bind… she thought about it at hacienda… ‘know what I concluded? That our marriage does not mean much to you… that any sweet gesture or my need to be with you while getting rejected constantly… did you think I did not notice? (well, I have my doubts of you CHOSING to ignore some warning signs, so you MIGHT be dumb as you say) … he comes up with a list of excuses… routine, work… but one thing is for sure… I love you … (nose growing?)
Vicky starts lying, ‘that love is in the past… and I warn you I will never be intimate with you again. ‘ He starts to approach her to give another begging speech again, but she walks out of the room leaving him alone with his guilt… she cries hard in hallway on other side of door…
(phew! All that action before first commercial break)
At apt, Cris and Lilli about to head out. Lilli still does not want to leave dad alone. Cris puts her on the fence, either you stay with him and I leave alone or you come with me. (ouch!! I am a mother and that hurts to watch!) Paula is heading out, opens door and Angel is there.
Lilli is all too happy dad is there to try to make amends with ‘blind/deaf mother of the year’ … Cris does not want to talk beyond ‘dos patadas!’ Angel assumes she is headed to Santa Rita, nope, guess again… going to Alamos to live with my mother! (Angel explodes, thinks Alamos is way too far). Lilli gets desperate asking mother to listen to dad. Cris is all too much in a hurry to get going… Angel begs, we have to talk, these decisions have to be made with a cold head( ok I give him points for not engaging in a more offensive way) Cris gets madder, go where you came from, you have more fun with ‘esa vieja!’.. not only you destroyed our marriage, but you want to keep my own daughter! Angel explodes more, I would be incapable of that. Cris insists in calling Vicky his ‘querida’. Angel wants her to stop demanding Lilli quit her job because she does not want to follow Cris and her tantrums. Cris shouts ‘tantrums? We will see if it is just MY tantrums’. She gets Paula to go out with her. Lilli stays behind upset with her dad, she does not want to leave with her mother. She wants to stay with him. (he is in a bind, it hurts to watch…) he gives her a comforting hug since he has no words.
At jail, Dances is convincing Espanto to listen to the lawyer and not give to Anibal’s questioning/pressuring. When you give him the info he wants, he will get rid of your guts.(ouch!) He leaves Esp with Lic Gasca.
Espanto is convinced of Dances’ story. Says Dances is a man of his word. Dances leaves dancing happily his way out singing ‘y besame!...’ But he freezes when he finds himself face to face with Anibal. Anibal asks what u doin here? Dances (after doing his best not to pee his pants) says as family’s chief of security, came to find out if they transferred Espanto. Anibal tells him how he has been getting his lawyer to try to put pressure on Espanto to sing like a canary. Anibal warns Dances, there is no ‘no’ word in my dictionary, so came willing to negotiate with him to give me the name of those thugs. Dances shakes but manages to tell ANibal that he will waste his time since Espanto is sure there are thugs watching him to kill him if he sings. Espanto is not in a position to aspire to be the richest man in jail. Anibal says worse for him, because then he’ll rot in jail (this is right along Dances’ plan).
At apartment, Angel is holding Lilli. Giving her comforting words, hopeful Cris will respond if we are patient. Trust me Chiquita. (somehow this scene brings to me the flash of Abba singing their famous ‘chiquitita’ song. … ‘en tus ojos hay una sombra de gran pena’)
I will do all possible so the three of us will be happy again. I will recover this family, believe me. (ouch! Then if he ends up engaging with Vicky it will be hard pill to swallow for Lilli with all these broken promises). Lilli suggests she stay and not go with Cris. Maybe she would cancel the trip. Angel is not sure, that pressure does not work with your mom. Lilli wants Cris to go alone. In a few days she will miss us and come back. Angel is wondering if she is right. What then? You will live alone in the apt? Lilli asks him if he can ask Vicky if Lilli can live there. Angel says maybe, would just have to talk to her. They cry together… He will miss Cris very much, so will Lilli.
At Balvy manor, Nikki comes to see mami. They hug, another parent daughter scene… She asks Vicky how she is, gives her a hug and immediately turns the attention to herself, she can’t find her friend Inigo. (I smell fishy prank here) Vicky tries to reason about his leaving. Niki says when Polita brought us the lemonade, she started flirting with him. Vicky is doubtful. Niki insists, surely she has cornered him somewhere. Niki insists Vicky go with her looking for her friend. She has to insist several times blackmailing Vicky’s hopes for their mother-daughter relationship. (Niki goes ahead, Vicky tells herself she doubts Polita acting like that). Vicky summons for Frankie to come upstairs. She wants Frankie to help her find Inigo. Frankie thinks to himself ‘all I needed, to have to go find that jerk’. They walk away. Niki laughs her plan working so perfectly.
In Paula’s car, Cris is crying, talking silly, so sad she will lose a friend like Paula, who has helped me out so much. Paula gets some guilt trip and says ‘maybe I am not such a great friend’. Confesses she feels guilty she helped split up Cris and Angel. Cris insists it was not her fault. When her blood gets to her brain, she thinks of Angel and Vicky doing the tango. It is not the first time my husband rolls around with her. (tells her about the hotel night, and that Angel said it was a setup). She can’t forgive him anymore. Hypocrit Paula holds her hand in support.
In Nikki’s room at B manor, Polita is singing loudly while making Niki’s bed. In comes Inigo. Fakes wanting to help her, is stalking her around the room… she gets mad at him… he grabs her and gets on top of her on bed… just in time for Vicky and Frankie walking in. Vicky is surprised. Of course it looks ‘nasty’ for Polita in the compromising pose. Vicky demands explanation, Frankie is speechless, observing. Polita says Inigo was choking her. Inigo says Polita grabbed him. Of course Polita gets mad at his lies and charges him (not in her best interest at this moment, he says ‘see?’). Polita turns to Vicky says ‘I swear…’ Vicky says you come with me, we will have a VERY serious talk. (poor Polita is embarrassed, Frankie is still speechless, a bit jaw-dropped, but I think he is on her side). (in a way I want Frankie to come through for Polita and beat the crap off Inigo). (Nikki runs down the stairs happy go lucky, sure Polita will get fired.) In Niki’s room, Frankie shows his better judgement, ‘It was you. You and Niki are two immature snobby rich kids and came up with this whole prank to get Polita fired.’ Inigo says ‘turn down your blender, it is not our fault your gatita is in heat.’ Frankie gets angry and puts a choke hold on Inigo from behind ‘now laugh it off, you miserable coward!‘ (The whole audience is shouting for joy and cheering ‘BEAT HIM TO A PULP!!’
Vicky is listening to Polita, even though she is a bit open minded still. Polita swears on the virgin she knows her place in the house and would never approach a friend of Nikki’s, she would never go for any man, she is in love. Admits it is the guerito Frankie. Vicky is totally surprised. Polita admits Frankie likes her as a friend but no more. Vicky smirks a smile of satisfaction/relief.
Back in Nikki’s room, she has come to celebrate but finds Frankie still with firm hold on Inigo, asking Nikki to admit what they did was her idea. Your friend was accomplice to try to hurt Polita in Vicky’s eyes. Inigo is hurting, he asks Frankie to respect him. Niki takes the role of ‘righteous’ and asks the two ‘monitos’ to stop arguing… (LOL!)
Polita comes down sad… Nikki assumes victory and puts on a sad face asking Polita if she got fired. Polita turns to Inigo and pushes him down yelling at him that he is the one that pulled her onto the bed. Frankie has to get Polita off Inigo (LOL!! let her, guerito! Let her get justice her own way!) Nikki walks to Inigo’s side, still believing Vicky fell for it. Still mocking/offending Polita who runs away, Frankie gives Nikki a bit of sermon about Nikki owing Polita some respect… then he has to follow Polita who ran away upset. Downstairs, in comes Vicky. She asks Inigo to leave her alone with her daughter. Nikki walks Inigo to the door, then turns around still getting mud all over herself believing Polita got fired. Vicky gives her the ice water bucket in her face saying Polita isn’t going anywhere. I am sure of her innocence. And I would recommend you talk to Inigo, it is not right for him to play pranks on a serious employee like Polita. Nikki insists Polita was lying. Vicky tells her Polita opened her heart, told her she loves Francisco, and Vicky believed her. Niki insists what Polita wants is SEX SEX SEX!! Vicky reprimends Niki on her ‘dirty talk’. Vicky says Polita is just in love with an impossible. Nikki is in disbelief of that. Vicky says according to Polita the problem is Frankie loves someone else. (now I am seeing Nikki as the third blind deaf in the episode) Nikki insists Frankie seduces everyone.
At his room at B house, Angel looks devastated. Dear God… dear God. Tell me what I need to do to make Cris believe I never betrayed her. What should I do so she won’t leave me. Help me God… Enlighten me.
(...and I was feeling sorry for Rodrigo in Destilando, but Angel takes the cake here) He remembers Vicky giving him the cross chain and in tough moments it will help him very much. He losens tie and grabs the cross chain, prays some more holding it. Lord give me strength and faith, don’t want to lose my family. Don’t let it happen. (kisses it)
At KenDrat’s, Odiosa is questioning KenDrat since she had promised Odiosa that by now Nil-Brain-Son and Vicky would be split. Kendrat gets irritated, says that night ‘la gorda’ of his wife was going to see us doing the pow-wow in his office. Odiosa says she got a smaller brain that she thought (like minds/brains attract each other?) I paid you a bundle to destroy the Balvanera marriage. That is all I care about!
Kendrat gets even more mad. She planned the fake suicide to blackmail Bris. Odiosa says you better bring out your heavy artillery, I need results ASAP!.. Kendrat says we have another issue. Odiosa says that is your problem. Kendrat says Dances has been supporting her in all her moves, but lately he is distancing himself. Odiosa says you better find a way to solve that issue. For now, trying to win points with the B house cook to gain more control. We must attack from all fronts.
Said cook, Jean Marie is tasting something Odiosa sent him… he is putting away all the ‘cow products’ stuff back in cooler. Tomasina comes in and JM gets scared so cooler lands on floor spilling all its contents around. Tomasina puts two and two together since cooler has a pink bow in it. ’More gifts from the same cow?? SO Ms Victoria has a traitor under her roof? How can you eat all this junk? ‘ (turns out the items are samples of some brand of dairy products named ‘la misma vaca’[= the same cow] LOL!!) JM explains the target he is after is ‘la vaca’s’ son. Tomasina insist there can be nothing between JM and that man.
JM can’t think of anyone but him. Tomasina advises him not to even mention the surname Longoria in this house.
Out comes Angel, asking Tomasina if Vicky is at home, could he talk to her? He needs to ask her if his daughter Lilli can live here in the house. Tomasina concludes correctly that he could not make amends with his wife. JM notices the cross necklace and is admiring it.
Out comes Nil-Brain-Son… asking for Salsero. Then Nil-Brain-Son immediately notices the cross necklace. Asks him in ‘few friends’ tone where he got the cross. Angel admits Vicky gave it to him. Nil-Brain-Son rips the necklace right off Angel and walks away mad (bad move, jerk!). Angel is going to go after him, but Tomasina stops him. Angel says ‘this guy’ is filling my liver. Does he believe I stole it? Do I look like a thug?
Back at apartment, Cris is saying better Angel had left because she did not want to say goodbye to him. Lilli drops the bomb on her, then you better say goodbye to me. Because I don’t want to go with you. Cris is floored. Paula excuses herself out of that battlefield. Cris tells Lilli she does not decide for herself. Lilli says she is old enough. If you want to go then go, but I am not going with you…. / You cannot do that to me. You are my daughter! / I know. And I won’t forget. But my dad is sad because you are mad at him. When will you realize he did nothing wrong? That is why I am staying with him. / I can’t believe it. / sorry mom, but I can’t stay with the side that does not have the reason. /and where will you live? You can’t stay with Paula. / At B manor. With my dad.
Back at B battlefield…
Nil-Brain-Son berates Vicky on Angel wearing the cross. Vicky confirms she gave it to him. Then she demands he go apologize to Arriaga since she is sure he took it from Angel against his will. He says he won’t ever lower himself to apologize to any employee, least of all Arriaga! (throws cross on bed) (Niki is approaching the door of the bedroom from outside so she can hear what follows) Vicky says we better revisit what just happened. Nil-Brain-Son does not ‘get it’ why they have to. Vicky says his reactions are getting ridiculous. He says ridiculous is for you to have given this gold cross to Arriaga knowing the sentimental value it has for the family! That is ridiculous!! Vicky explodes telling him she saw him making love to a redhead in his office but she stayed quiet. (Niki gets instantly upset, cries).
Previews:
Angel cries saying to Vicky he is confused. Cris catches him and Vicky in potential compromising situation. We see Cris slapping Angel, then Vicky shouts to Cris that the Arriaga couple needs to talk alone. Cris grabs her back ‘no! you don’t go anywhere!!’ and has Vicky and Angel stand side by side facing her.
Recapper arguable comments: Definitely in this episode some folks were totally rational in their decisions(Vicky, Lilli, Tomasina, Frankie) and arguments while others (Nil-Brain-son, Cris, Nikki, ?)… blind and deaf only begins to scratch the surface of their problem…

Amor Bravío #112 (Uni 107) Thu 1/24/13 Amor…¿qué digo "amor"? ¡Es odio!
Snotty Bitch is being kicked out and Cayetano won't budge. Mariano tries to talk him out of it, but Cayetano says there's no way he'll back down--not only is he the head of the family and owner of the ranch, he's the offended party! Everyone looks sick and worried, except for Ileana who's grinning a little bit. Mariano can't get him to calm down. Yes, Cayetano, calm down so Isadora has a chance to kill you herself…once she's got her hands on your ranch.
Dionisio, talking with the La Malquerida office door open, calls Isadora to tell her that the letters got into Cayetano's hands after all. Eluterio is inside the house, for some strange reason, so he gets to overhear Dionisio's end of the convo. Isadora gloats that Camila helped her out after all. Dio gets up to shut the door, but he never sees Eluterio. Eluterio continues listening through the closed door as Dionisio talks about how they were wrong to think La Malquerida was an easy target, with nothing but an old man, a woman, and a depressed girl, while La Buenaventura was guarded by four men. Dio lets slip Isadora's name. Isa is busy bragging about how easily men are led around by the penis. She's confident in her continued ability to do so. Dionisio thought bubbles that he won't let Camila marry Daniel and he'll keep fighting until Camila is his.

Por ella soy Eva #130 1/22/13: Mimi is The Dog That Doesn't Have Two Sandwiches.
- Eva continues to ask every dame in sight: What is "that," the thing women want from men? "Stuffed animals." "Too bad you can't ask Juan Carlos, he knew how to conquer a queen, he was divine!"
- Barging into a content-free conference between the bescarved Renato and the besotted Adri, Mimi asks: "What does Eva have that I don't have? Would you have gone for me if Eva had never existed?"
"Well then I wouldn't have known you. But really - you're sexy and you smell good, but I'm in love with Her! With Her essence! She understands me as no woman has ever understood me."
Mimi watches him with tears in her eyes and leaves promising she'll never bring this up again: "Adios."
- Helena tells Eva: a second version of Antonio's thesis has surfaced.
- Mimi's hard-working receptionist tells her Dagoberto is gone, having left a rose and a (stupidly rhyming) note. Mimi tells Juan she'd hoped Dagoberto could be a distraction from her unrequited love of Adri, and now, nothing!
Juan tries to cheer her up but she refuses: "Let me suffer! Don't interrupt. I continue... I'm the dog with two sandwiches that gets neither of them." He tries to tell her about life being full of flowers but she points out he's never brought her flowers, not once, so he should just shut up.
- Eugenia tells Eva it was Renato who ratted on Claudia. Eugenia laughs about the "it" that a woman wants, but she doesn't tell JC what it is.
- Reb mocks Pluto for working late. "You haven't worked so hard since we initiated the jacuzzi business meetings a decade ago." She nibbles his tie. "Ugh, give it up, not even my wife the whale humiliated herself this way."
- Helena reads the newly-discovered version of Antonia's thesis and calls Juan, marvelling: "It's completely different from the one I saw before. Nothing in it is like my project. It couldn't have been the basis of Playa Majagua, so GI robbed me openly. I don't know if this is enough to prove it. I used to blame you, but if it wasn't you, then who?" She lets it slip that she broke her engagement to Pluto.
She wonders who changed the thesis to coincide with her project. She reluctantly agrees to have coffee with Juan the next day. Helena prays: "Help me not lose my head over him again." Juan prays: "Give me a hand, help me win back the love of my life."
- Renato mulls the encoded disk he pilfered from Rebeca.
- Fer looks bitter and bored in his bib at the dinner table while Marcela drones on about liking her job and the camera dotingly focuses on their quart of LALA MILK.
- Rebe and Pluto squabble as usual. Hapless hacker Felix shows up with a cd for her. Pluto snatches it, Rebe snatches it back, it falls, Felix crushes it under his heel. Rebe says it's just photos of Ricky Martin.
Pluto: "How long have you been working here, Felix? Who gave you your job? How has she conquered you?" "I needed the money for my ancient grandma."
Pluto is so pissed he pays Onesimo to hire thugs to mug Felix. They grab him, beat him up, Onesimo gives him his severance pay as he lies bleeding on the sidewalk.
- Claudia sulks in bed. She tells Eugenia: "My mom was afraid I'd end up with a married man the way she did." Eugenia promises not to tell Modesto something.
Modesto wants to send Claudia to juvie. Eugenia doesn't.
- When Onesimo drops in to see Rebeca at home (hoping for some payoff, or at least a drink), he finds out the guy he just beat up was one of Pluto's henchmen. Now he's afraid to meet the same fate.
Rebe is sad that her plots have fizzled. "Onesimo honey, find proofs of perfidy with which I can torment Pluto." "But then next time the one who'll get beat up will be me. We need to find another way, so I don't get inculpated." She says their chance (for all sorts of things) will come at the Acapulco Anniversary bash. She won't bang him tonight, but she says they can use 'tu' now ...
- Silvia wants nothing from Eduardo in the divorce. Helena disagrees: "You deserve something in exchange for all the years you took care of him." Silvia: "The donkey talks of ears..." She continues: "He's not well. Look in on him once in a while, Helena."
- Pluto asks Mendoza to help him stick Rebe with the havoc his fake construction company will cause.
- At the meeting, Rebecca announces there will be a costume ball in Acapulco! She needles Renato about his being gay.
- Mendoza comes to talk to Eva alone after the meeting. Adri is eavesdropping...
- Renato tells Rebe he's tired of her jibes. Rebe: "I'll tell Adri 'your right-hand man is gay.' Boom!" "Well I've got your dirty cd. Boom!"

Amores Verdaderos #51 Mon 1/21/13 Adorable Servants, Messy Dominatrixes and the Obligatory Riding Accident

* At the Balvaneras Lili and Angel are still talking about Cristina: Arriaga wants to make amends with her but at first he has to give her some time to cool down. All right Dad, says the Wise Child (I love this name and it suits her well, but it kind of tempts me to call her WC…), but don’t give her too much time because right now she’s planning to move out of their home.
* Kendho begs to her beloved Furry Casanova: please don’t leave her, she loves him, he’s the love of her life! *Viewerville: please, you’d be more convincing if you didn’t look like you just came from the set of a hardcore BDSM porn movie.* Nelson claims that he’s always honest with her, he never denied that his marriage with Victoria was above everything else. Please don’t call him again, adios. She screams at the closing door: NELSOOOOOON!

Aha! Mousse boy reveals that Claudia had switched the medicines. In fact, he admits that he was an accomplice. Juan's mom: "Poor child, her heart is "full of hate."
Bad dad is finding out that his wife doesn't even want to take his stuff - she just wants out!
Santi gets his divorce and watches Angelica leave in her chauffeured red sports car. "If you want to see me, just turn on your tv!"
Then we come to a conversation between Eva and Helena that sparks the question of what all women want - Helena mentions that all of her doubts and reservations about Juan stem from the fact that she's not sure he has that one thing that all women require from a man. Eva is desperate to find out what it is that JC couldn't give her. "You know, you're a woman, it's that one thing that we all know we need!" haha, he's so perplexed he tries to guess. Sex? Money? Shoes?
Then Eva makes Adri guess what it is. Adri is thinking along the same lines Juan was. Sex? No. Uh... Honesty and sex?
Dagoberto gets turned down by Mimi, but that doesn't deter him. He sneaks back in and snoops around in her house for dirt on Eva.

Amorcito Corazón Discussion #199-202 Jan. 21-25
It appears that the inauguration ceremonies bumped our show for today. Hopefully the show will not be shown at some obscure time today (it wasn't on my tv schedule but then today's episode was still scheduled) so we'll have our next episode tomorrow. And this means our last episode will be January 31st. I hope everyone had a nice Dr. MLK Jr. Day.
Take care,
Karen
