Feliz Dia de los Enamorados…let's see how all of our enamorados fare tonight….
Refugio prays to the Virgen to fix everything…Rocio, Cayetano, Yago, Pablo and Luzma…she knows it's a lot to ask, but this family sho'nuf needs it!
Pablo is trying to get Luzma to feel a little hope, and she'd love to leave everything behind. She wonders if the baby forgives her for resenting it. Pablo figures babies are just nice like that. Luzma says she really did end up loving the innocent little creature. Of course, says Pablo, because she has a big heart.
Abraham and Dante walk Miriam to her door. They head back downstairs and confab. Abraham would like Dante's help keeping the Daniel-Camila relationship a secret from Miriam. Abraham knows even though they're trying to hide it, it's only a matter of time before the whole thing blows up on them! Dante tells him that if Daniel leaves Miriam for Camila, she'll find a new love. Abraham disagrees.

Amores Verdaderos #69 Thu 2/14/13 Happy belated Valentine's day! Moments of revelation, feelings are let loose ( Bea and Dances, Nikki and Frankie and Vicky and Angel)
Amores Feb 14:
Refritis:
At the Blonde Bimbo’s,
Dances has Kendra on a single-hand neck lock, yanks her around her apartment: Who do you think you are? Don’t mess with Texas (eh… ME!)!! (she brushes it off as no big deal, this only gets him angrier) … Remember I know all about you, the kind of ‘ho’ you are, the full list of who-s who in your bed, and I warn you, stay off my bidness, or I will give that info to Nil-Son in a heartbeat!! ‘Captas??’ (course he did not say that, he said ‘GOT THAT??!’)
Elsewhere in some park, Nikki is walking through rocks, Gorilita tailing her
G: how did the therapy session go?
N: (She keeps brushing off the subject) It ‘went well’. That psychologist (lady) is ‘super cool’. Don’t you see me ‘super cool’ now? (I want the name+ number of this Psychologist!)
G: Ok but you should keep up with the treatment, so you will get better. Also, you should tell your mother about your issue and the therapy.
N: Not now, will talk to her but now is not the right time. They (her parents) have enough with their own issues. I would love for them to get back together, it would hurt too much to lose my family.
G: I understand perfectly, I also hope it doesn’t happen. But in any case you need to get healing, no matter what happens with your parents.
N: (hesitating) yeah.
Back at Bimbo’s apt(like NM said, round two), things get even more violent. BB: you would not DARE!!
Dan: Go ahead, Put me to the test!! I can tell the cops that you had Arriaga’s house burned, and you were the lead in several kidnappings.
BB: You are no angel of mercy either (blanca paloma).
Dan: You better not to mess in MY bidness again!!…
BB: Alright!! But you won’t get rid of me so easily, you and I are accomplices, and you can’t change that.
Dan: From now on, we talk ONLY BIDNESS!! As ‘Hembra’ , I don’t want you anymore! And I warn you (for the 23th time!) don’t mess with the woman I love, because if you do you will regret having been born!!
Lo Nuevo:
Elsewhere, in Alamos, Candelaria is praying to the virgin: Could it be worth it? What good it would do to her to be a Balbanera if her father rejects her?? Forgive me for not telling the truth to my daughter, but I am doing it so she won’t suffer, so I have no choice but to take my secret to death with me.
In some restaurant in MexCity, Anibal is staring at a pink rose in centerpiece.
A: I ended up owing so much to Cande, I would have loved to spend much more time with her, give her the life style she deserved and never wanted.
Antonio: She was so tender/sweet, so proud of her origin.
A: Yes, she always rejected my money. Candelaria Corona is the only woman who ever loved me and was not after my money.
Antonio: No, you are wrong. Pilar also loved you deeply too. And if we are totally honest, she put up a great portion of her fortune so you would become a successful business man. Even if you get angry, it is the truth. Without your wife’s support, you would not be where you are.
A: But Candy… Candy… was the love of my life.
Antonio: Yes, but one day she disappeared.
A: She only left me a letter where she said we could not be. Because she found out I was married with family.
Antonio: Whatever, she abandoned you. Pilar on the other hand, always supported you unconditionally. She gave you two wonderful daughters.
A: One, only one.
Antonio: What do you mean?
A: One of my daughters, Vicky, is wonderful. The other one is a calamity. She only returned to bug me with the story that her daughter is alive and she wants to find her. She even went to talk to Paula about it.
Antonio: Adri is right to do that. Go talk to her! Tell her the truth!
A: Don’t bug me with unsolicited advice. I will deal with that issue my way.
Antonio: Think about it, my friend. Because sooner or later, your big lie will come out to the surface.
A: Never!
At the apartment, Angel is complimenting Cris while he seems to be fixing the blender (how much does a new blender cost nowadays? $29?)
They look very happy, he is saying Jean Marie is a great cook, but she is the BEST!! But his style of cooking is the food they are used to. Not ours like the mole, the refried beans, noodle soups… (definitely in the case of these 2, ‘el amor entra por la cocina’, they seem most passionate when they talk about her cooking and food: ‘I have to cook… / can I help you with ‘anything’?’)
Then she spoils the moment of lust (scratching record sound) by asking him to turn the tv on so she can watch her telenovela. (LOL!) Novela?? Is that all you care about? You prefer that to talking with me?? I can’t believe it!! SMUACK!! / you are the most important in my life. I thank the virgin everyday for having met you. For being your ‘woman’. And for being the father of my daughter. / And you… ‘what a mother!’… SMUACK!!!
At Balbanera, Vicky is in her study, Jocelyn came to visit. She came tell-all to Vicky that her bodyguard gave her the ‘olympic turn down’.(Vicky surprised)
Back at the park and the rocks…
Nikki tells Gorilita he should also take the therapy with the doctor. He would be less sealed shut. He never talks about himself. He knows all about her, and she knows almost nothing about him. Tell me about your marriage. (he loses his ‘nice’ face). Alright. I will tell you. In a nutshell: I met my wife in U.S., I fell in love and we married… / And why don’t you two live together? / Things didn’t work out, I suffered a lot and we split. From that point I swore to myself to not fall in love again so I would not suffer again… / With no one? Neta?/ Right, with no one… not even you. / (she takes it the wrong way and he has to grab her and justify himself. She turns the focus on herself, she ‘accepts that’ he is not attracted to her, saying she has many defects, she is worthless, according to her parents, and all they expect of her is to marry and give them grandchildren, but as things look now, she won’t even please them with that so her life is an ‘ASCO’ (she is worth SH___)
Gorilita has to admit ‘one thing is that I don’t WANT to fall in love with you and another is that I was able to stop myself from it.’ (she is shocked, she babbles asking if he is truly interested in her. He responds ‘how can you ask me that question [looking at me] with those pretty eyes?’)
Frankie confesses to her that he and Polita never had anything going. Nikki (who is now devouring the biggest cotton candy blob I have ever seen, this girl definitely has problems) questions why did Polita sleep in your bed. He says that is true but that does not mean I slept with her. He explains about that night. He slept in living room. After this story, I hope you treat Polita with respect. She is nice, a bit naïve, so she lives in fantasyland. Nikki confesses she felt ‘itch’ to think of them together. He says it is now your turn. Which one of your boyfriends is the one you remember fondly. She tells him the first one, they became ‘novios’ when she turned 15. Frankie shows some of his Neanderthal jealous side as Nikki tells him ‘Roy’ is now a pro tennis player. Frankie tells her he can see that talking about ‘Roy’ puts a smile on her face (I thought the childish one was Nikki). The ‘boyfriends’ she had later were ‘nefastos’ (no good). She has heard about ‘Roy’ via his mother, knows he is still single and, honestly, she would like to see him again. Neanderthal asks if she thinks something could re-vive between them. (Frankie puts on the Neand sour puss smirk) Nikki catches on this and plays along ‘ if he asks me to get back together… why not?’
Back at B house: Vicky is still in disbelief when Jocelyn tells her the story and that Arriaga got angry at her ‘indecent proposal’. ‘For the first time in my life I was turned down!’. Vicky says she can’t see herself doing something like that. Jocelyn says time flies, you should follow my motto. To free yourself of prejudices and listen to the voice of your body. Even if your bodyguard rejected me, I am completely certain he would agree to do it with you. (Vicky again shocked). Hours later, Vicky asks her why she said that, Jocelyn backpedals a bit and says I just said it because he watches after you so intently, and because I want you to put a bit of salt (spice) in your life.
Vicky keeps saying she is a married woman. Jocelyn says but ever since you discovered your husband’s betrayal, you kicked him out. Vicky says I am not going to act the same way. Jocelyn insists she spends lots of time with Arriaga. Vicky says what she likes about Arr is he is a serious man, has a daughter and loves his family. Jocelyn says if something happened with Arr, Nil-Son could not complain because she would just be returning his ‘deed’.
At a casino somewhere, Felipe is really struggling with himself… looks around nervously… fighting his own demons…
Back at the apartment, as Cris is making some green sauce on blender, Angel makes the signal of the cross on himself, gets her attention and asks her not to get her typical over-reaction (no te vayas a enchilar) before telling her about Jocelyn’s ‘indecent proposal’. Of course we get the TYPICAL reaction from Cris, wanting to go meet that ‘tipeja’ to stuff her in the blender with her ‘green sauce’ for having just even attempted to mess with MY MAN.
Angel tries to calm her down saying he got angry at the woman and turned her down. Cris is a bit calmer but still fuming inside, saying ‘it better be that way because if not… (poor giant white onion lands on floor hard)…
Angel asks ‘where did you get that temper? (character) Not from your mother because she is a sweet bread… ’ Cris says that even if she did not meet him, surely it was my dad’s…
Said ‘padre’ is meeting with Dr Montano (the Dr who assisted Adri way back when). Arrogant Anibal begins the conversation with ‘I suppose you remember me / how could I forget you Mr B? / That happens to my friends and enemies, Dr M.. Especially someone like you, who I helped so much. I got you out of a small town clinic and put your career on a catapult and turned you into one of the most prestigious doctors in the country, with international awards and a very fine financial record, all thanks to ME. / I would never forget your generosity. / Let’s see if it is true, Dr M. Because I will test your loyalty.
At his room in Felipe’s apt, Guillo is very distant and a bit cold with his mother Bea, she wants to pray with him, he prays alone. She offers to tell him a story, he says he is sleepy already. She is crying sad as she sits on his bed while he falls asleep.
At the other apartment, Angel is watching the ending credits of Amores Verdaderos (LOL!) on tv and Cris offers to put egg on his chilaquiles. He turns her offer down, and she asks what is up with you? And he jokes about her wanting to see him with making him look like a washing machine instead of washboard (six-twelve pack).
Suddenly the commercial that he and Kendrat recorded comes up and both Cris and Lilliana go beserk and after the commercial is over, they attack him at unison… then it all ends up a family joke moment with ‘trajes Altur’
At Kendrat's dungeon, she and Nil-Son talk about her working with Angel on the commercial. Nilson of course compliments her but says Vicky must have been out of her mind to use Arriaga as model. Kendrat says it was denigrating working with a rookie and thank goodness Vicky cut off the ‘kiss’ part. Imagine me kissing Arriaga, worse than chewing ‘zacate’ (no idea what that is, but I can imagine some things to fill the blank with).
Kendrat is afraid Vicky liked the end product of the commercial, and will end up hiring Arriaga at MetaImagen. Nil-Son gets irritated ‘No way! I won’t allow it!’ KenDrat then moves to her next page, mentioning that Nikki hasn’t done commercial modeling in a while. Nil-son says they can’t find anything that Nikki won’t leave half-way. KenDrat uses that to say ‘you poor thing with so many things you take care of, you also have to watch after Nikki (while giving him a massage from behind). Nilson says you can’t imagine how exhausting it is to educate a child. Then KenDrat lies saying Nikki has told her that all she wants to do is get married and have children. Nil-Son says how can that be if she doesn’t even have a boyfriend. Kendrat suggests Nil-Son find her a good candidate. What if she ends up with a lowly man? Nil-Son says in that one subject he agrees with Anibal, a father cannot allow a daughter to wind up with a mediocre man with no fortune or surname.
Felipe arrives home, apparently from his facial expression at seeing the money in his wallet, he has lost most of his money in gambling … AGAIN.
Of course he lies to Bea when she asks where he was. She tells him about Guillo being mad at her. Felipe asks her to give it some time. Kids get a bit odd when parents are splitting. He will find out Leo has abused her for so long. Bea would rather prefer Guillo have a good image of his father. But how hard it is. This was not my day. Even Francisco called to yell at her because their mother is trying to get close to him. Felipe says Paula is only reaping what she sowed. Felipe wanted to help her but she is still with that man she abandoned us for. Bea doesn’t want to ‘go there’ again today, she has had enough, feels overwhelmed. Felipe suggests she forget her problems and go out dancing for a while. It will relax her. He’ll watch Guillo.
Dinner at Arriaga’s apt…
They talk about Bea. She is still suffering through nightmares with Leo. Leo is using their kid and making him mad at her. Cris tells Angel that Dances has become her good friend, they are dance partners. Angel is in disbelief.
Anibal is at Paula’s,
An: Adri must never find out the truth.
Paula is high on whinning,
Pau: Why did you tell me the story?
An: Because only you can understand me. I trust no one else, but you.
Pau: I would have rather not known.
An: Are you now more disappointed of me? I had no choice, I did what was the best for Adri.
Pau: No, Anibal. Try to talk to her, explain why you did it, she is an adult. Ani: I can’t. Adri repulsed me when I separated her from the guy who got her pregnant. Now it would be catastrophic (funesto) that she found out what I did. Besides, Vicky would never forgive me for it either.
Pau: That is all you care about. Not to lose the respect and love of your oldest daughter. You never cared about Adri.
An: You can’t judge me. In live, not all is good or bad. There are shades of gray and good justifications for everything.
Pau: No, that is excuses we come up with to justify hurting our loved ones.
An: It is already done. And I am willing to stand firm behind with ‘my truth’.
At Kendrat’s, Nil-Son tells her that tomorrow is Vicky’s birthday and he is arranging a surprise party for her (boy oh boy this will get good tomorrow).
Kendrat says surely Vicky will be happy with it and forgive his ‘pecadillo’ (little sin). Kendrat offers to go with him to pick a birthday present for Vicky. He buys/bites her good intentions ‘hook, line and sinker’.
Then we get a 5 minute wordless scene at the disco, a very pretty in red Bea arrives and hesitates going in, is about to head out and suddenly the song she and Dances like begins playing… Dances is at the bar, he turns around at hearing the song too… slowly they both meet right by the dance floor and smile a bit shyly at each other… (have to say the song lyrics are pretty seductive, adding to the scene very nicely … incl: ‘desire, passion, body, caress, hug me, squeeze me, the sea of your body… you get the drift)
[I have to say Susana Gonzalez did a marvelous job here in portraying all the feelings of Bea... fear, desire, attraction, relief, guilt, etc etc... i loved this scene.]
We come back from commercial break and they both have found their voice.
D: Bea, did not know you would come.
B: Neither did I. Did not think I would find you here. Maybe I should go.
D: (grabs her back) please, Bea, stay. You are my dance partner… (she smiles) and they are playing the song of when we met.
B: Yeah, I heard it. (slowly they begin dancing and enjoying themselves)
At B house, Vicky is writing in her studio... about a woman alone sitting at table, ‘the walls were cold, she was lonely, the silence that kills and the sadness of doors that don’t open… ‘ suddenly the door opens and in comes Arriaga singing ‘las mananitas’ carrying a small cake. They begin acting like small kids, he insists she has to have a wish before blowing the candle, she is in tears, all this is very moving to her. Then she blows the candle.
She tells him the first minute of her birthday she is celebrating with him.
He is only thankful to her for all she has done for him and his family. In these events you remember someone because they are special to one.
She thanks him again because she was sad and his words comforted her. She thanks him at least a dozen times, then asks him to turn off the lights when he leaves. He seems to look a bit deflated. She is halfway up the stairs when he calls her to ask her if she wants to go out (with him) tonight. (she looks kind of confused) Then he apologizes as something stupid he came up with. She says no… well, yes!... yes… she agrees to go out with him. They laugh happily… he is in disbelief but his smile says LETS GO NOW!!!
At Frankie’s room in B house, Nikki comes in. She asks to come in. She can’t sleep. Need to talk to someone. He says it is not right that she be in his room at this hour. She begs, can’t sleep and want to talk. He suggests she call one of her friends. She wants to spend time with him, and pulls him close to her.
Just as Victoria agreed to go out with Angel, Nikki is trying to convince Frankie to go out right now. She explains with ‘pears’ since he doesn’t get it with ‘apples’. She gets close to his ears and yells ‘LETS GO OUT!!’. Poor Frankie, hopefully his hearing does not suffer permanent damage from that.
At Arriaga apt, Lilliana and Cris are in bed together, Lilli tells Cris that Frankie confirmed he was married. Cris is sure he said that to get Polita off his back. Lilli agrees. Cris says she likes Frankie as Lilli’s man. Lilli likes him too, but he doesn’t see her as a woman, more like a younger sister. Cris says she will have countless prospects. Lilli says and my dad will be sweeping them all out the door. But he exercises heavy self-control and asks what she is thinking of ‘doing’. She has no clue, all she wants to do is have a good time (pasarla ‘hiper’) … together. He insists in finding out where they are going to set up a safe ‘route’. She wants him to leave the ‘bodyguard’ hat at home, just get dressed, hurry! Smile!... (as she leaves he can’t help but smile)_
Just at same time Nikki and Guzman are talking where to go, Vicky and Angel are kidding around and saying same things while she takes a big chump at the little birthday cake he brought her. Suddenly Vicky remembers a cool place she used to frequent with her daughter. Angel asks if men are allowed there. She says yes. But don’t go as my bodyguard, but as my ‘date’. He is a bit take offguard but then smiles.
Previews:
Bea tells Dances she has decided. She accepts (being his girlfriend, I guess?). They seal it with a kiss.
Vicky is teaching Angel how to swing at a bowling alley, they have their arms on each other when Nikki and Frankie arrive… Surprised/questioning faces as Nikki asks ‘Mama?’
Refritis:
At the Blonde Bimbo’s,
Dances has Kendra on a single-hand neck lock, yanks her around her apartment: Who do you think you are? Don’t mess with Texas (eh… ME!)!! (she brushes it off as no big deal, this only gets him angrier) … Remember I know all about you, the kind of ‘ho’ you are, the full list of who-s who in your bed, and I warn you, stay off my bidness, or I will give that info to Nil-Son in a heartbeat!! ‘Captas??’ (course he did not say that, he said ‘GOT THAT??!’)
Elsewhere in some park, Nikki is walking through rocks, Gorilita tailing her
G: how did the therapy session go?
N: (She keeps brushing off the subject) It ‘went well’. That psychologist (lady) is ‘super cool’. Don’t you see me ‘super cool’ now? (I want the name+ number of this Psychologist!)
G: Ok but you should keep up with the treatment, so you will get better. Also, you should tell your mother about your issue and the therapy.
N: Not now, will talk to her but now is not the right time. They (her parents) have enough with their own issues. I would love for them to get back together, it would hurt too much to lose my family.
G: I understand perfectly, I also hope it doesn’t happen. But in any case you need to get healing, no matter what happens with your parents.
N: (hesitating) yeah.
Back at Bimbo’s apt(like NM said, round two), things get even more violent. BB: you would not DARE!!
Dan: Go ahead, Put me to the test!! I can tell the cops that you had Arriaga’s house burned, and you were the lead in several kidnappings.
BB: You are no angel of mercy either (blanca paloma).
Dan: You better not to mess in MY bidness again!!…
BB: Alright!! But you won’t get rid of me so easily, you and I are accomplices, and you can’t change that.
Dan: From now on, we talk ONLY BIDNESS!! As ‘Hembra’ , I don’t want you anymore! And I warn you (for the 23th time!) don’t mess with the woman I love, because if you do you will regret having been born!!
Lo Nuevo:
Elsewhere, in Alamos, Candelaria is praying to the virgin: Could it be worth it? What good it would do to her to be a Balbanera if her father rejects her?? Forgive me for not telling the truth to my daughter, but I am doing it so she won’t suffer, so I have no choice but to take my secret to death with me.
In some restaurant in MexCity, Anibal is staring at a pink rose in centerpiece.
A: I ended up owing so much to Cande, I would have loved to spend much more time with her, give her the life style she deserved and never wanted.
Antonio: She was so tender/sweet, so proud of her origin.
A: Yes, she always rejected my money. Candelaria Corona is the only woman who ever loved me and was not after my money.
Antonio: No, you are wrong. Pilar also loved you deeply too. And if we are totally honest, she put up a great portion of her fortune so you would become a successful business man. Even if you get angry, it is the truth. Without your wife’s support, you would not be where you are.
A: But Candy… Candy… was the love of my life.
Antonio: Yes, but one day she disappeared.
A: She only left me a letter where she said we could not be. Because she found out I was married with family.
Antonio: Whatever, she abandoned you. Pilar on the other hand, always supported you unconditionally. She gave you two wonderful daughters.
A: One, only one.
Antonio: What do you mean?
A: One of my daughters, Vicky, is wonderful. The other one is a calamity. She only returned to bug me with the story that her daughter is alive and she wants to find her. She even went to talk to Paula about it.
Antonio: Adri is right to do that. Go talk to her! Tell her the truth!
A: Don’t bug me with unsolicited advice. I will deal with that issue my way.
Antonio: Think about it, my friend. Because sooner or later, your big lie will come out to the surface.
A: Never!
At the apartment, Angel is complimenting Cris while he seems to be fixing the blender (how much does a new blender cost nowadays? $29?)
They look very happy, he is saying Jean Marie is a great cook, but she is the BEST!! But his style of cooking is the food they are used to.

Then she spoils the moment of lust (scratching record sound) by asking him to turn the tv on so she can watch her telenovela. (LOL!) Novela?? Is that all you care about? You prefer that to talking with me?? I can’t believe it!! SMUACK!! / you are the most important in my life. I thank the virgin everyday for having met you. For being your ‘woman’. And for being the father of my daughter. / And you… ‘what a mother!’… SMUACK!!!
At Balbanera, Vicky is in her study, Jocelyn came to visit. She came tell-all to Vicky that her bodyguard gave her the ‘olympic turn down’.(Vicky surprised)

Because I will test your loyalty.
At his room in Felipe’s apt, Guillo is very distant and a bit cold with his mother Bea, she wants to pray with him, he prays alone. She offers to tell him a story, he says he is sleepy already. She is crying sad as she sits on his bed while he falls asleep.

At Kendrat's dungeon, she and Nil-Son talk about her working with Angel on the commercial. Nilson of course compliments her but says Vicky must have been out of her mind to use Arriaga as model. Kendrat says it was denigrating working with a rookie and thank goodness Vicky cut off the ‘kiss’ part. Imagine me kissing Arriaga, worse than chewing ‘zacate’ (no idea what that is, but I can imagine some things to fill the blank with).
Kendrat is afraid Vicky liked the end product of the commercial, and will end up hiring Arriaga at MetaImagen. Nil-Son gets irritated ‘No way! I won’t allow it!’ KenDrat then moves to her next page, mentioning that Nikki hasn’t done commercial modeling in a while. Nil-son says they can’t find anything that Nikki won’t leave half-way. KenDrat uses that to say ‘you poor thing with so many things you take care of, you also have to watch after Nikki (while giving him a massage from behind). Nilson says you can’t imagine how exhausting it is to educate a child. Then KenDrat lies saying Nikki has told her that all she wants to do is get married and have children. Nil-Son says how can that be if she doesn’t even have a boyfriend. Kendrat suggests Nil-Son find her a good candidate. What if she ends up with a lowly man? Nil-Son says in that one subject he agrees with Anibal, a father cannot allow a daughter to wind up with a mediocre man with no fortune or surname.
Felipe arrives home, apparently from his facial expression at seeing the money in his wallet, he has lost most of his money in gambling … AGAIN.
Of course he lies to Bea when she asks where he was. She tells him about Guillo being mad at her. Felipe asks her to give it some time. Kids get a bit odd when parents are splitting. He will find out Leo has abused her for so long. Bea would rather prefer Guillo have a good image of his father. But how hard it is. This was not my day. Even Francisco called to yell at her because their mother is trying to get close to him. Felipe says Paula is only reaping what she sowed. Felipe wanted to help her but she is still with that man she abandoned us for. Bea doesn’t want to ‘go there’ again today, she has had enough, feels overwhelmed. Felipe suggests she forget her problems and go out dancing for a while. It will relax her. He’ll watch Guillo.
Dinner at Arriaga’s apt…
They talk about Bea. She is still suffering through nightmares with Leo. Leo is using their kid and making him mad at her. Cris tells Angel that Dances has become her good friend, they are dance partners. Angel is in disbelief.
Anibal is at Paula’s,
An: Adri must never find out the truth.
Paula is high on whinning,
Pau: Why did you tell me the story?
An: Because only you can understand me. I trust no one else, but you.
Pau: I would have rather not known.
An: Are you now more disappointed of me? I had no choice, I did what was the best for Adri.
Pau: No, Anibal. Try to talk to her, explain why you did it, she is an adult. Ani: I can’t. Adri repulsed me when I separated her from the guy who got her pregnant. Now it would be catastrophic (funesto) that she found out what I did. Besides, Vicky would never forgive me for it either.
Pau: That is all you care about. Not to lose the respect and love of your oldest daughter. You never cared about Adri.
An: You can’t judge me. In live, not all is good or bad. There are shades of gray and good justifications for everything.
Pau: No, that is excuses we come up with to justify hurting our loved ones.
An: It is already done. And I am willing to stand firm behind with ‘my truth’.
At Kendrat’s, Nil-Son tells her that tomorrow is Vicky’s birthday and he is arranging a surprise party for her (boy oh boy this will get good tomorrow).
Kendrat says surely Vicky will be happy with it and forgive his ‘pecadillo’ (little sin). Kendrat offers to go with him to pick a birthday present for Vicky. He buys/bites her good intentions ‘hook, line and sinker’.
Then we get a 5 minute wordless scene at the disco, a very pretty in red Bea arrives and hesitates going in, is about to head out and suddenly the song she and Dances like begins playing… Dances is at the bar, he turns around at hearing the song too… slowly they both meet right by the dance floor and smile a bit shyly at each other… (have to say the song lyrics are pretty seductive, adding to the scene very nicely … incl: ‘desire, passion, body, caress, hug me, squeeze me, the sea of your body… you get the drift)
[I have to say Susana Gonzalez did a marvelous job here in portraying all the feelings of Bea... fear, desire, attraction, relief, guilt, etc etc... i loved this scene.]
We come back from commercial break and they both have found their voice.
D: Bea, did not know you would come.
B: Neither did I. Did not think I would find you here. Maybe I should go.
D: (grabs her back) please, Bea, stay. You are my dance partner… (she smiles) and they are playing the song of when we met.
B: Yeah, I heard it. (slowly they begin dancing and enjoying themselves)
At B house, Vicky is writing in her studio... about a woman alone sitting at table, ‘the walls were cold, she was lonely, the silence that kills and the sadness of doors that don’t open… ‘ suddenly the door opens and in comes Arriaga singing ‘las mananitas’ carrying a small cake. They begin acting like small kids, he insists she has to have a wish before blowing the candle, she is in tears, all this is very moving to her. Then she blows the candle.
She tells him the first minute of her birthday she is celebrating with him.
He is only thankful to her for all she has done for him and his family. In these events you remember someone because they are special to one.
She thanks him again because she was sad and his words comforted her. She thanks him at least a dozen times, then asks him to turn off the lights when he leaves. He seems to look a bit deflated. She is halfway up the stairs when he calls her to ask her if she wants to go out (with him) tonight. (she looks kind of confused) Then he apologizes as something stupid he came up with. She says no… well, yes!... yes… she agrees to go out with him. They laugh happily… he is in disbelief but his smile says LETS GO NOW!!!
At Frankie’s room in B house, Nikki comes in. She asks to come in. She can’t sleep. Need to talk to someone. He says it is not right that she be in his room at this hour. She begs, can’t sleep and want to talk. He suggests she call one of her friends. She wants to spend time with him, and pulls him close to her.
Just as Victoria agreed to go out with Angel, Nikki is trying to convince Frankie to go out right now. She explains with ‘pears’ since he doesn’t get it with ‘apples’. She gets close to his ears and yells ‘LETS GO OUT!!’. Poor Frankie, hopefully his hearing does not suffer permanent damage from that.
At Arriaga apt, Lilliana and Cris are in bed together, Lilli tells Cris that Frankie confirmed he was married. Cris is sure he said that to get Polita off his back. Lilli agrees. Cris says she likes Frankie as Lilli’s man. Lilli likes him too, but he doesn’t see her as a woman, more like a younger sister. Cris says she will have countless prospects. Lilli says and my dad will be sweeping them all out the door. But he exercises heavy self-control and asks what she is thinking of ‘doing’. She has no clue, all she wants to do is have a good time (pasarla ‘hiper’) … together. He insists in finding out where they are going to set up a safe ‘route’. She wants him to leave the ‘bodyguard’ hat at home, just get dressed, hurry! Smile!... (as she leaves he can’t help but smile)_
Just at same time Nikki and Guzman are talking where to go, Vicky and Angel are kidding around and saying same things while she takes a big chump at the little birthday cake he brought her. Suddenly Vicky remembers a cool place she used to frequent with her daughter. Angel asks if men are allowed there. She says yes. But don’t go as my bodyguard, but as my ‘date’. He is a bit take offguard but then smiles.
Previews:
Bea tells Dances she has decided. She accepts (being his girlfriend, I guess?). They seal it with a kiss.
Vicky is teaching Angel how to swing at a bowling alley, they have their arms on each other when Nikki and Frankie arrive… Surprised/questioning faces as Nikki asks ‘Mama?’

Por ella soy Eva #147 2/24/13: I'll Say Goodbye to Crazy Eva.
And though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known I'd say goodbye to crazy Eva...
Two bruisers show up at the pension as crazy Eva holds our Eva and Mimi at gunpoint. They are detectives and crazy Eva tells them to take away the large woman because she is Eva Maria Leon Jaramillo. Mimi gets upset and asks them not to take her, and crazy Eva accuses them both of wanting to take her house. But the detectives are not there for someone named Eva Maria, but rather for someone named Yadhira Rivers, also known as the terrible Itsy, Bitsy Spider. Interpol is looking for her and they show a poster with her photo. Crazy Eva tells them they are confused by the poster, and that our Eva is who they're looking for. But one of the detectives goes through crazy Eva's handbag and finds a passport with the name Yadhira Rivers.

Por ella soy Eva #146 2/13/13: Fernando's Anvil Dropped, Another Woman Scorned and So Much More
Hi all, finally a juicy episode. They have saved the best for last. These next three weeks are going to be doozies!!!!
Fernando is going to sleep in Kevin’s room because Kevin worries about him. Marsela clears the table.
Mimi tells Our Eva that the Loud Eva has turned the rooming house into a bordello. Our Eva says to offer her more money but Loud Eva is too stubborn. Our Eva wants to call the police and liberate himself from the Loud Eva. Helena calls Our Eva. Helena wanted to hear his voice. Tomorrow she will meet Eva at Silvia’s nursery.
Renato is working late and asks the security guard to open up Helena’s office so that he can leave some paperwork.
Loud Eva is on the phone with “Chino”. She has a way to pay him back for the favors that he did for her for keeping the counterfeit merchandise.
Renato is searching through Helena’s office and find some Fitsa Construction Company documents and thinks that Helena is not as innocent as she appears. He thinks that Helena is involved in some dirty dealings.
Claudia meets Daniel. Where are we going? He has beer and Claudia doesn’t drink, she doesn’t like the taste. But then she opens up a can, I’m confused.
Renato is confused. Something about Helena and Fitsa doesn’t make sense.
Daniel has been expelled from so many foreign schools since he was a little boy that he can’t keep count. (What a catch- yuck!!) Claudia wanted to know why he was expelled, he got into trouble didn’t care. He is the only child, he doesn’t have siblings. Claudia tells her story, she hardly sees her brother, and she lives with her father. Her mother was her father’s mistress and her mother died. When her mother died she was going to be sent to boarding school but she had the option to stay there so she stayed. They toasted.
Mimi and Our Eva tiptoe into the rooming house, that looks like a nightmare of red and gold. She wants to know where they have been. (I can’t take her- she is too loud!!!)
Claudia and Daniel commiserate over their lives. Claudia would like to go far away where no one knows her (and I am sure that Viewerville) would like to send her away on a one way ticket. It’s getting late and Claudia is ready to go home but Daniel the Dog has other ideas. He wants to kiss her and be with her BUT he is still Jennifer’s boyfriend and Claudia is not down with OPP- (Other people’s property) Jennifer is his girl BUT there is no one more important than Claudia. (This is difficult for me to type because it doesn’t make sense.) Oh no!!! Come just for a little bit!!! Daniel can’t believe it himself. They both go into the car for just a little bit- I call that a quickie.
Back at the screaming match- Our Eva tells Loud Eva that exploiting women is a crime. It’s not worth it. She sings a different tune. You can’t buy love and affection. Loud Eva makes crude remarks to Our Eva about being conservative, prudish.
Rebeca doesn’t know what to do but stupid Oneismo has the 3 million dollars.
Loud Eva talks about taking her business to Grupo Imperio but Our Eva tells her that she will need legal identity documents.
Marsela is awakened by some noise in another room. She goes to investigate with a bat!!!!!! It’s Fernando in the kitchen. She thought that someone broke into the house. She asks Fernando- if he is blind.
Our Eva wants to follow Loud Eva and find out exactly what she is up to. She will allow Mimi’s rooming house to be turned into a spa.
Oh no, the quickie was Claudia’s first time and it was special to her. Daniel being the romantic guy that he is tells Claudia don’t think that this quickie will make us an item.
It’s a miracle- NOT-- Fernando can see. He has no shame. Marsela should have used his head as a baseball; instead she starts breaking up everything in sight.
Daniel tells Claudia that he is not going to give up Jennifer for her. He threw back everything that Claudia had told him about her family. He threw a forlorn Claudia out of his car, she had to walk home. He didn’t even drop her near the door. Boy, oh boy will he learn about a woman scorned! His anvil needs to drop on my watch!!!! I also noted that her braid band was broken- was this some type of virginal symbolism?
Marsela was beyond furious and stupid Fernando was trying to justify his blindness, and explain what he was doing!!! Marsela sent the kids back to bed. She was on a rampage. Could you blame her?? She cried in her bedroom and I along with Viewerville felt her sadness. Fernando’s anvil finally dropped!
Mad Dad called to find out when he can visit Lalito. Helena, Silvia and Lalito were going to spend the day at Silvia’s nursery and Mad Dad was surprised that she owned the nursery already. They can meet at the nursery.
Loud Eva got into a car with some (O.G.) old gangsters (or undercover police), one was named Chino. She was thanking them for keeping her counterfeit merchandise. And she would reward him with a big Northern woman, just like what he likes. The old man was asking about the company and that if she doesn’t deliver, he will kill her..
Marsela sent the kids to grandma’s because she was going to have a loooong talk with the jackass, I mean Fernando. Fernando complains that no one spoke to him during breakfast and treated him like a ghost. Marsela told him that the only thing that she wanted to do was kill him. The lawyer shows up, because Marsela called him.
Eva meets Helena , Silvia and Lalito at the nursery. Lalito wanted to see Eva. Everyone loves the nursery and we are all so proud of Silva. Helena is going to meet Juan and she wants Eva to accompany her. Uh oh!
Loud Eva is asking for Our Eva and tells Mimi that she has a male friend, who was a singer who is dying to meet her. Mimi is trying to guess who it is and Loud Eva slips and says “Dog” berto.. Mimi asks Loud Eva if she has seen Dogberto and Loud Eva acts as if she has a lapse in memory and changes the subject. Mimi is adding up two and two.
Marsela tells the lawyer that Fernando has regained his sight and that the lawsuit will be cancelled. They still have to pay the lawyer and court fees that have been incurred and Fernando will pay back everything..
Eva and Helena are waiting for Juan at the restaurant. Perhaps he is stuck in traffic. Mimi calls Our Eva. She tells Eva that something smells rotten. Her cousin Eva never knew Dogberto, but Dogberto appeared and then disappeared and Loud Eva appeared. Our Eva tells Mimi to be tactful. Unbeknownst to Mimi, the Loud Eva is listening. Mimi calls the Loud Eva “a rat with two legs” a poisonous snake, etc, etc. Loud Eva thinks that they are trying to deceive her. She is going to make them pay, using her hand as a gun.
Our Eva is going to change into Juan.
Fernando is sitting there looking like the fool that he is and then wants to talk to Marsela. Marsela can’t believe that he was trying to rob money from this company just like he did to Grupo Imperio. She has been a fool twice. He did this on the backs of his family., who didn’t deserve this. Marsela doesn’t want to hear any more pretexts. Its time for a divorce. (I can hear Viewerville cheering!!!!!!!!! )
A man , named Gustavo, a client comes to the nursery (Hipolito from Amor Bravio) and he is looking for a certain type of tree when Mad Dad rudely wants to know who is this man??
Juan shows up, he didn’t realize that his cell wasn’t charge and he was looking for a charger. Juan was thinking crazy- he wants Helena and Lalo to move somewhere where they can’t be recognized, a family of three. Helena wants him cleared first so everyone can know that he is alive.. Helena has a lot to tell him about Grupo Imperio.
Mad Dad starts his foolishness , he is jealous and now he understands why Silvia was in a hurry to get a divorce. Really,??? Maybe the beatings and insults could have added to the mix?? Gustavo speaks up for Silvia. Hey Mad Dad, you don’t speak to women like that!!! Silva makes it known that he is her ex husband. Gustavo says that Mad Dad is too jealous and if he was Mad Dad he wouldn’t forgive himself if he let a woman like Silvia get away!!! (Compared to Mad Dad, Gustavo was looking good)
Juan tells Helena that Pluti is the worst of all., now that he is President he will manipulate his power. She tells Juan that she found the fake thesis in Pluti’s office but Renato found her. Helena is looking for Eva now, she has to leave now and Juan will wait for Eva. What luck!!!!
Fernando pleads and begs. But Marsela has had enough. She has loved him but he hasn’t learned his lesson. He is corrupt as ever!!! He never learns!!!
Loud Eva calls Chino and tells him to bring his flunkies with him. Our Eva comes and Loud Eva says that they are trying to deceive her and she pulls a gun on them. Loud Eva keeps calling Mimi- Emeteria and Mimi is not happy.
Marsela has had it with his machismo.. She is going to get the kids from her parents and when she comes back he better be gone. I loved when he called her Flaquita and she told him to save it!!!
Loud Eva demands respect from Mimi and Our Eva. They can’t leave because someone is coming for them. Eva’s phone rings and Loud Eva says that if she answers it she will die.
Marsela explains to the kids at a restaurant without their grandparents knowledge what Fernando did He never lost his sight. She wants the kids in spite of everything to be strong and continue to respect him as their father. She is going to separate from Fernando.
At Santi and Lucia’s apartment- Santi is moving. Lucia is going to miss him. Lucia thinks that she is going to spend the day with Sebastian and formalize their relationship. Poor thing. Her anvil is coming.
Marsela tells the kids tat the decision has been made. Jenifer supports her mom and then Daniel the pig calls Jennifer, who coldly responds. He wants to see her.
Loud Eva still has the gun on Mimi and our Eva and some men come. Loud Eva tells them that Our Eva is a criminal and that they should arrest her. I’m not clear on who these men are? Are they Chino’s flunkies or the police? Our Eva identifies herself and tells the police to take her.
Coming attractions: Pluti is still obsessed with Helena and hopefully Loud Eva disappears.

Amores Verdaderos #68 Wed 2/13/13 Salsero's checkered past may keep him from competing in the Michelle Obama Look-Alike Contest.
Palace Intrigue at
Meta Imagen
Victoria comes back for her cell phone and is shocked to see José Ángel reading a file left open on her desk. But it's his
own file, he protests. And if she
hired him because of what it says, she hired the wrong man: because everything in it is false.
Kendra, showing off her Medusa tresses in profile at the
reception desk, leaves an envelope for Mr. Brizz and a bit of advice for Betty:
Watch out for Salsero -- that man is very dangerous. Before Beatriz can react,
the elevator opens and spits out Nelson and his peculiarly coiffed shadow. Bea gives the furry one the Kendra Papers and
gives the dancing man a suspicious once-over.
Hmmm.
Once back in Nelson's office, Salsero observes:
Parece que Kendra
Ferretti no quita el dedo del renglón.
(It looks like KF isn't giving up. Literally, she's not taking her finger off
the [written]line.]
The Furry Fornicator, however, admires Kendra for smuggling
a Booty Call to him so discreetly (that's what the important document was).
He calls bread bread
The Angel speaks plainly:
Llamo al pan pan y al
vino vino.
(I call a spade a spade.
I call bread "bread" and wine "wine.")
He came looking for a job as a foreman; he never pretended
to know about guns; he's just a country boy.

Amores Verdaderos #67 Tue 2/12/13 Lies, misunderstandings, and stupid assumptions.
Amores Verdaderos Cap 67, 2/12/13—Lies, misunderstandings, and stupid assumptions (in other words, a typical day in the Amores universe)
Lo siento, as usual I'm getting a late start. But I have some screencaps and am going to regurgitate a summary of what happened last night.
EPISODE IS FINISHED!
A preview screencap:
EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER. EVENTS ARE SUMMARIZED TO RETAIN MY SANITY.
Refried: Paula tells Bea that she's willing to take the chance of being Nikki's piano teacher because she's bumping into Frankie! Maybe he'll finally forgive her! Bea warns Paula that if everyone finds out that she's Anibal's amante that the crap will hit the fan and she'll lose everything because of her lies. Paula says she's already lost everything.
Guzmancito thanks Nikki for trying to dump his mom, aka piano teacher. She wants to help. He comments that she can be nice when she wants to, or in other words, deep down she's a nice person. She smiles.
The new: It's breakfast. Big Angel is in the kitchen. Jean Marie is happily cooking up a tasty breakfast. Thomasina gives Big Angel the stinkeye (he looks confused). As he's getting ready to eat his breakfast, Vicki announces that it's time to go. "Forget about breakfast!" she orders, not giving a crap that the big guy is in need of breakfast. (Hey! He's big! You don't want him to tip over from hunger!) He asks Jean Marie to save the breakfast for later, it looks delicious!
At Odioette's office, she's fuming over Vicki's successful ad campaign, which was saved by Big Angel stepping in at the last minute to model. Her son Estefano says that Big Angel looks good in the part, and that he shouldn't be embarrassed or jealous of the model that had been originally slated to do the job (who was bribed by Odioette to not show up). Odioette is fuming and full of bitterness. Estefano asks her why she's so angry. She actually takes the time to explain: Years ago, after her husband died, Anibal seduced her with the intention of stealing clients away from her so he could save his failing company. Later when Vicki took over the creative part, the company succeeded on its own (due to Vicki's awesomeness, apparently!) but Odioette wants revenge on Anibal, and how better to do it than through his "spoiled, privileged" daughter? Estafano points out that Vicki had nothing to do with Anibal's douchebaggery, but Odioette grits out that Vicki is the apple of Anibal's eye, so she wants to destroy Vicki to get to Anibal! Poor Estafano doesn't approve and is very ashamed of all the crap Odioette has pulled, but he's browbeaten by his mom and slinks out of the office.

Amor Bravío #125 (Uni 120) Tue 2/12/13 Lola Hissadora: “I always get what I aim for! And your heart and soul is what I caaaaaaaame for!”
I’ll start with lo Nuevo although I must say I enjoyed the
replay of Rodolfo*sigh* giving Yago one to the kisser. That slime ball deserved more.
El Hostal
Natalia is angry that Amanda told Osvaldo, who then went to
confront Yago! Amanda rightfully says
Osvaldo isn’t to blame for Yago’s reaction and besides, she had no idea Ozzie
was going to confront him. But she’s
grateful Yago knows Natalia is not alone in this. Rodolfo*sigh* is on Amanda’s side and says
so. Natalia, still blinded by her
misguided love, thinks this has caused her to lose Yago forever! Boo-hoo-hoo. Amanda tries in vain to get it through
Natalia’s thick skull that she never had him to begin with. Rodolfo frankly tells her Yago was just
playing with her and reminds her they all tried to warn her. Natalia admits this but cries that Yago is
now the father of her babyyyyyyy - waaaaahhh!
Rodolfo points out that Yago doesn’t want to be the father and Ileana
has told him that Yago has denied his paternity to his family. Amanda and Rodolfo both try to calm her
down. Rodolfo doesn’t think that imbecil
is worth crying over. Rodolfo promises
that she can count him him, just like Osvaldo.
If Yago bothers her, he’ll put him in his place. Natalia thanks him but she doesn’t think Yago
will ever come near her, or her child, again.
Poor Natalia!

Por ella soy Eva #145 2/12/13: Viewerville Wants to Reach Through the Screen and Poke Fernando's Eyes Out For Real.
Potential recappers for the upcoming Colunga comedy starting March 11: please write me at caray@mappamundi.com. People who are currently recapping have priority, and people who want to keep their current slots have priority on those slots. But please, all current and potential recappers, write me at home. I can't keep track of these threads of proposed days that happen in the comments!
- Real Eva is quite a dynamo isn't she? Besides her cuerpazo and her fine personal style, she is handy with the butt end of a gun.
Also, her interior design skills are impressive. She's turned Mimi's pension into a red-and-gold bordello with naked statues and nearly-naked "masseuses" in what they're calling a "spa de hombres," hee-hee.
Mimi complains that Real Eva has also brought cockroaches into her nice boarding house and that she doesn't want it to be a "casa de citas," a place of vice and perdition. Real Eva makes vague threats about Juan's dangerous situation and insists: "My mother left this pension to ME." "Your mother was a saint, she deserved better than you."
"I'll denounce you! I'll say you have no permits for running a boarding house." "Oh, and you have permits for running a 'spa' - ??" "My important clients will protect me. And you stole my name. I'm going to flatten you! [machacar]"
- Fer is so unspeakable, you just have to roll with it and enjoy his short-sighted [sic] narcissistic infantile approach to life. Eva comes by and tries to figure out if he's faking his blindness. Fer righteously expects his wife to quit work to take care of him.
Eva suggests to Marcela that she could work from home for a while. "But my family expects me to resign." Fer sits around like a wounded lion king expecting people to put peeled grapes into his mouth.
I'm glad to hear nasty Daniel hasn't been answering Jennifer's texts (but she is sad).
- Rebeca comes into her office to find the blue dress girls packing her pics of Ricky Martin into a box. Renato comes in, gloating that she's been fired. She, bitterly: "I'm sure there will be champagne and confetti, you're all enjoying my fall." "Yes, we're all glad you're leaving." On the way out he snatches one of her magazines (William Levy the cover boy). "Oh no, not William!" she laments, hee hee.
Rebeca stamps towards the elevator in a rage. "You hyenas are glad I'm leaving." Yes, they are all laughing, it's wonderful. "Reap what you sow, Rebe," says Eva.
Rebe sees Pluto and yells about the ten years she spent shagging him while he was married to the whale. "My vengeance will be apocalyptic," she vows.
Pluto calls Onesimo and orders him to give Rebe "a warning."
- Magda passes along her flower biz to Silvia and they bless each other.
- Eva/JC asks Renato why Rebeca was fired and wonders what happened to the incriminating cd she had.
- Before the meeting, Helena sneaks into Adri's office to spy. (Don't you like Adri's big photo of Donald Trump surrounded by bimbos?) She finds another copy of the fake thesis. Renato comes in and asks what she's doing. He buys (with suspicion) her explanation that she was looking for papers.
- Pluto the temporary boss calls a brief meeting just to say: Rebe will be replaced, nobody is indispensible. Eva says he shouldn't have fired Rebe without Adri's agreement and Helena agrees: "Rebe was good at her job."
Pluto asks Marci why she's been absent so much. She stammers: "My husband is blind from a work accident." Pluto is unmoved. His hinted threats of taking her work away actually cause her to ... not quit.
Alone with Pluto, Eva decries his 3 day reign of terror. Pluto: "It's your fault Adri got soft, he no longer has the coldness one needs in business." "Actually, it's scruples and kindness that are needed in business." "If it weren't for you, Adri would still be here; I owe my new position to you, thanks, Eva."
Eva counters: "I'll get Adri back here and he'll put you in your place. You didn't love your spouse Antonio, it's your fault she's dead." "I didn't kill her!" "You are insanely defensive. Anyway, this business won't fall into the hands of an imbecile like you. Practice waving your water bottle around, you haven't mastered the knack yet." Pluto curses Eva.
- Onesimo goes to see Rebe. "I need you now," she wails, "do you know why I wasn't fired sooner?" She mentions the compromising video and asks him to help her get vengeance. "Pluto ordered me to to frighten you but I can't touch you... except for looovve... Yes, we should get vengeance on him. Let's leave the country with his millions. With that dough I can keep you living in the style you prefer. And if you don't come, Pluto will get you sooner or later."
We can all agree Onesimo is in over his head, but he continues wheedling/threatening: "I'm dying for your anatomy -- and also for your little heart. We can be like the lady and the tramp. But don't forget, you need me and I'm calling the shots."
- Marcela is pleased/anxious as Renato points out her nice new office. She's so conflicted: the kids shouldn't have to take care of her poor blind husband, and she wants time to research ways to cure him. But her friends say, "Don't treat him like a child." She cries - she's so sorry for him.
Fer, gleefully, is just eating his peeled grapes and counting the (15) days till he gets his big payout for going blind on the job. When Marcela gets home and has to admit she couldn't force herself to quit, he yells and yells like a baby.
- There's another stupid rehash scene just so everybody can eat from individual bags of snack chips (all with the brand name facing the camera). Santi, standing at the snack machine with 1,000s of bags of the same kind of chips, hears gossip about Lucia marrying Sebastian. He looks sad as he eats his chips.
- Mimi meets Juan in a restaurant and tells him about Real Eva's new business. He says they should denounce Real Eva to the police even if it puts him at risk: "better me than you," he kindly tells her.

Amores Verdaderos #66 Mon 2/11/13 The Aftermath of the Facehugger Attack: the Wrath of Valvanera Bickie and the Death of Julius Caesar
* José Ángel fortunately survived the FATS™ (Face Attack Telenovela Style by NovelaMaven, all rights reserved to Meta*Mart) without permanent scars, but alas, the damage is already done because Valvanera Bickie™ (by Anita, all rights reserved to Meta*Mart), the famous Mexican socialite was totally stalking her favourite bodyguard, and naturalmente she saw the kiss. While Victoria flees from the crime scene, the Angel tries to get rid of Jocelyn politely, but all his efforts are in vain. She’s in heat, and she wants to taste that delicious-looking Arriaga cake so desperately that she even offers the blushing, stuttering and embarrassed guy money for a night. You’re married, Angelito? Nevermind, so am I! I think Arriaga now knows what it is like to be in Guzmán’s shoes, because Jocelyn is the older version of Nikki… with a more easy-going nature and less brain cells.

Amor Bravío #124 (Uni 119) Mon 2/11/13
Capitulo
#124: La Familia es Todo... te guste o no te guste
Lo
del pasado
Luzma explains the previous day's slip to Camila. Iago wants to accompany his father on his vacation, which Cayetano does not permit. Rocio has the bitchy encounter with Hissadora in the hotel bar. Natalia continues in her delusion about Iago. Osvaldo
Becerra barges into the dining room at La Buenaventura and Cayetano
finds out why Iago wanted to go on the vacation with him.
Lo de
nuevo
La
Buenaventura, Dining Room: Iago denies paternity and is told
not to show disrespect to Licenciado Becerra. Becerra calls Iago a
coward, orders him to stay away from Natalia, and wishes Cayetano a
good day before he exits. Bratgirl sits there listening intently at
that which es nada de su asunto. Mariano gives Iago the “I told
you so” and agrees with Osvaldo. Iago again denies paternity.
Cayetano asks him if he is sure of this and he goes on that he wasn't
the only guy to boink her. Mariano is not believing this, so
Bratgirl backs Iago [We wonder why], saying that while Natalia
might have the face of a saint she is a whore [zorra].
Mariano doesn't fall for this either and also knows his brother's
unsavory reputation with women. Cayetano seems to find his cojones
for this situation, telling Iago that he will not allow a grandchild
of his to be born unrecognized. There will be a DNA test and if Iago
is the father of the child he will do the right thing whether he
likes it or not. Iago tries to say he can't be forced; this isn't a
past century when Cayetano would have that authority over him.
Cayetano tells him that if he wishes to continue receiving the
benefits of being an Albarrán, he will conduct himself as one and
not as a patán who leaves his DNA all over the place irresponsibly.
Mariano backs Natalia, saying he is sure she isn't lying and calls
Iago on his cowardice because he tried to get out of town with dad to
avoid facing the music. Iago tries to deny it, but Cayetano is on a roll. He
tells him he has to resolve this situation before he gets back from
his vacation.

Por ella soy Eva #144 2/11/13: Fakers!
we get a review (I think it's a review) of Pluti demanding to know who she left him for. He proclaims that it's his right! "I own you! You're mine! You're mine!" What. A. Jerk. She reminds him how much he tried to steal from her. Mousse boy makes a very convenient entrance, allowing her to escape.
Who is this lady with the glowing red hair yelling at Eva? Is it the real Eva? I can't really tell without the birds in the hair.Mimi looks on grumpily.
The greasy boyfriend is wrapping his arm around Claudia. Seriously, can someone clarify - is she wearing a weird headband or weird hairstyle. She wants him to leave Jennifer. He continues to be a jerk. So what's new?
Juan thinks the real Eva is hiding something... It is certainly true that she's acting suspicious.
Pluti is grumpy.
Adri takes Eva's call from his golf cart! He is very sad about what happened to their relationship. Eva hangs up to receive a call from Helena (answering as Juan to get all mushy). But he didn't hang up on Adri, and he's trying to juggle both calls. Adri: I'm in the perfect place to meditate on my future (haha. he's sitting in a golf cart). He needs to be LOVED. He needs her to LOVE HIM. Juan lunges back to pick up the phone with Helena on it to reassure her that nothing funny is going on. Clearly something funny IS going on... Adri has also picked up on it. He frowns and hangs up on her.
Rebe flirts up Mendoza. Pluti Flips.
Ferni looks really pathetic in his sunglasses. He is being offered a ton of money by a mysterious man. I didn't catch what he has to do in return. Later at dinner, he proposes to the kids that his wife quit her job. What? He wants to start a business at home. Kevin is excited, but everyone else is like WHAT?
Helena tells Eva that she needs a big favor. . . it's been so hard to keep her thing with Juan secret, and she wants to start meeting him at Eva's place. Eva - impactada. on the one hand, how convenient! on the other hand, the whole split-personality thing seems to be wearing on him.
Onesimo calls Rebe to set up a meeting... she thinks he just wants another chance to examine her "escultural cuerpo." Then Pluti bursts in and starts smooching her. Rock bottom? Or does he just want something from her? Actually, she thought he was marvelous! The had great sex. I bet he wants something. He's "Lobito" now. Oh. He came to tell her she's getting fired tomorrow. Ouch. "No puede ser!"
It looks like Helena wants to tell Eva a secret. Some things just can't be shared between man and woman, she says. But we don't find out what the secret is. Actually maybe we do, but I was distracted by my dog. Helena is happy to have a confidante.
Dagoberto is chatting up the real Eva. He was clearly looking for dirt on Mimi and Eva, but he seems to be distracted by her assets. He takes a good look at her "escultural cuerpo" and has some grand words about how glorious she is. I totally lose track of what they're saying. "la witzi witzi arana?" What does the itsy bitsy spider have to do with GI and money laundring. Haha! It was her name back when she sang with the techno bands! Regardless of what they've decided, they're thick as thieves. They smooch a bit. Haha, she likes her "implantos de bubies." She tells him that her favorite time of crime is simple, like fake designer clothes and fragrances. They get a little sexy out in a construction site. Then she takes a phone call (she says "yes, I've got the money"), and when Dago turns away she pulls a gun from her purse, clubs him in the back of the head, and sends him plummeting several stories to the ground (where he lands in a conveniently soft truck bed filled with garbage bags.
*GASP* Ferni sends Marcela out of the room to get him some water, then he slips off the sunglasses so he can watch soccer! He's been faking!

Weekend Discussion: Novela Writing; Should writers always listen to what viewers are saying?
This question isn't about outdated cliche storylines, but about viewer reaction to what happens on the screen while the series is still in production. It's also about viewer ratings and how that affects what they do. A few examples of past decisions:
Pasion de Gavilanes (Telemundo, 2003-2004): This was the most successful series Telemundo ever had in the 7PM EST timeslot. Good story, writing was decent, cast was attractive. At some point after the first third had aired, Telemundo made the episodes shorter so they ended five minutes early and the next program (Prisionera) began at 7:55 instead of 8PM. The last chapter of the story was extended to twice the length it should have been because the network wanted to keep the ratings up in the time slot. This series was rerun twice in the US, edited to its appropriate length in terms of the correct pace of the story.

Amor Bravío #123 (Uni 118) Fri 2/8/13 Yago's Date With Destiny Or Day Of The Baby-Daddy Blues News
Cap 123
Lo
Del Pasado:
Camila
and Dan have agreed to take off their wedding rings in order to avoid any more
uncomfortable and compromising questions from on-the-mend-Miriam. They commiserate
about not being able to sleep together during all this kerfuffle and swear
their enduring luhhhhv for each other till Miriam is strong enough to deal with
the truth. On the other side of the coin
there is Yago and Natalia. (Need I say
more?) Nat’s just been showered with
chic from the most expensive Aculco boutique by her dangerous, double-dealing
dawg of a dad, and then headed to the town square [zocalo=main square] to deliver the news
to her disappointing dud of a dude.
Poor, naive Nat was in for a surprise—but
then so was Yago, selfishly assuming his easy-squeezy went there to agree to submit
to his …er…carnal requirements
without a bunch of snippy lip from her; but our local ladies-man has just gotten the shock
of his womanizing life because Nat has just told him she is pregnant and he’s
to be the proud papa. Cara de-Ruh-Roh–del-lothario éste de Yago!!!
Lo Del Nuevo:
What?
Who? Me? impactado de Yago gives a snide reply that Natalia’s got to be kidding! Nat howls back that she wouldn’t dare joke
about something as serious as this! Yago
accuses her of bopping horizontally with somebody else somewhere along the line after doing the diddling deed with him, so he can’t be sure that it even is his!! (Daggers are now shooting out of the eyeballs of Viewerville's female population but falling uselessly to the ground.) How can he suggest such a thing, wails Nat, when
he knows he got so weirded out [sacarse de onda = do a double-take/get bent out of shape]
that she was a virgin their first time together???? Yago refuses to accept that it is his. After all, Nat spent time at Camila’s wedding
with Rodolfo. How does he know she didn’t
do the diddling squat with Rod after doing it with him? He hisses his accusation at her with dis-missive dis-gust. “—Looks like his plan
turned out pretty good, huh!” Cara de
consternation de Nat.

Por ella soy Eva #143 2/8/13: The Coronation of Napoleon
Alternate title: "The Joy of Slapping"
Morning! At the office, Santi apologizes to Lucia for walking in on her date. Santi says he can move out soon anyway - the tenant he sublet his apartment to is pregnant and needs a bigger place, and Santi can afford to live there again. Lucia tells him there's no hurry to move out, and she'll miss him. He says he's glad her dreams are finally coming true - because (he's asking), Sebastian is her boyfriend, right? Lucia says they aren't technically novios yet, but "almost." (Just when we thought she couldn't get any dumber!)
Marcela takes the morning off from work to be with Ferni. They wait for his lawyer to show up so they can have the meeting with his employer. Marcela doesn't want him to sue and imagines that the company is probably finding him a good specialist right now. But Ferni would rather sue. He explains that they have a record of negligence with their employees. (And their son too, I'm thinking.)
He needs help getting ready for the meeting. She doesn't just take his arm to guide him to the bedroom/bathroom - she lets him spoon onto her back like a snail. (This must be some rare type of blindness that affects his legs.)
At school, Jennifer tells Daniel about her family's latest woes (which always seem to revolve around her father). "No one from the company has even asked how he's doing," she sobs. Daniel promises to help. He hugs her and throws another one of his creepy smiles over her shoulder.

Por ella soy Eva #142 2/7/13: There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See.
Helena and Plutarco are fighting in his office. She wants to know why she's been shut out of the Playa Majagua project, and he's demanding to know why she left without telling him. And who was she with? She tells him she was alone.
Fernando arranges for an accident for himself at work by climbing a big step ladder, pulling some heavy boxes off a top shelf, and falling. He lies unconscious under a pile of boxes.
Mimi introduces our Eva to the real Eva. Real Eva gives her the up-down and comments on how well fed she is- like the cows in her pueblo. They slap each other in disguised hostility. The two of them refer to Mimi as Emeteria, while Mimi protests. Our Eva has an offer. She wants to buy the pension, but real Eva says no way, she'll have to find another pension to buy. Mimi and our Eva stare in horror as a huge gold statue is carried in. Mimi suggests Feng Shui to her cousin, but real Eva has her own ideas. The two Evas sing while Mimi covers her ears.

Amor Bravío #122 (Uni 117) Thu 2/7/13 Amor Complicadissimo
Miriam notices
Camila's stricken look and apologizes for asking. Camila finally says she's a widow and her
husband just died. She tells Miriam not
to worry about it. But now Miriam wants
to chat…"Have you been married long?
It must have been so hard on you!" Camila says he died in a car
crash with her sister…so she's going to fake like Alonso was the husband in
question. "If something like that
happened to me…I love Daniel so much, I think I'd die!" Camila reminds her she has a daughter to live
for. Miriam agrees, but brings it back to Daniel and the two of them being
there for their daughter. Camila
actually closes the door on Miriam as Miriam is trying to continue the
conversation.
She stops in the
hallway to try to take off her wedding ring, but it doesn't appear to be
budging. Dionisio comes up (Ugh, just go
away!) to ask what's wrong. Like, duh! Camila says Miriam asked about her wedding
ring, but, no, she didn't tell her the truth.
Dio thinks that was the right move, since telling her the truth could
kill her. He tells her men are cowards
and he doesn't think Daniel will ever dare tell Miriam the truth. "Oh, I'm
sure that's his intention, but with her so frail…she'll take a long time to be
ready for the truth. I don't think it's
fair to keep you waiting." Camila
reminds him they've been through shit before…she's going to hang in there. Dio says that he'd have a tough time
abandoning his wife and daughter after they were hurt by something he had
done. He urges Camila to think about
herself and her happiness. "You
don't deserve to be the mistress. You're
too valuable for that." Camila runs
off crying and Dio gloats that everything is going his way. He thought bubbles that Camila will be free
for him soon. Yuck!
