PEAM #11, 03/25/2013 – Do Surprise Parties Always Miss the Mark?
We rejoin the party scene at Rogue’s palatial home with
Rogue snearing at the carne asada. An inappropriate it seems guest, Fermin, reveals that he was
invited by Chucho, much to Rogue’s disgusto he shows the guard his name on the
list of invited guests. But he
further hovers around the roast beast, which turns out to be javelina. The lip smacker further advises Rogue
that he should have some better party food to go along with the javelina like
chicharonnes and guacamole.
Another housewife in sweater type approaches Rogue who starts to ask who
she, but then shrugs, don’t tell me, must be another Chucho invitee.
Chatita contends with Veronica who has to be told several
times who she is, this is a good foil since Vero gives up trying to pry info
out of her about who Alma the girlfriend is.

PEAM #10, 3/22/13: What Do They Make at Avon, Anyway?
They Make Plans:
Rogue wants to throw a big ol' surprise engagement party for Alma but naturally doesn't know a thing about her, including who her friends are or her taste in rings, so he delegates it all to Doña Susana. Jesús sees her consternation and offers to help. He cops Alma's address book from her phone which she accidentally left on his desk and goes off with Doña Su and a big wad of bills. What could possibly go wrong?
They Make Trouble:
Paty tries to get info about the party by buttering up Jesús. Gosh, Almita says you're one super sexy secre, didja know? He gets all goofy-face but still doesn't tell her anything. She flounces off.
They Make Promises:
The weedy little cab driver comes back for his reward, and of course Chucho's pockets are still empty. He promises him something tomorrow. Unless tomorrow's payday, this isn't looking good.
They Make Progress:
Xochi calls Jesús and asks him out for coffee; he distractedly agrees. The poor chica is over the moon. Maricela eavesdrops snottily.
They Make Memories:
Alma sees Jesús blissing out over his CD of Valentina pix and sits down to watch with him. She reassures him that it's not his fault he missed her early years, and anyway he'll be there for her from now on. Not every family is happy, she says wistfully. She confides that she would like children herself but is afraid of repeating the mistakes her own parents made.
They Make Excuses:
Vero asks to speak with Doctora Deliciosa after Valentina's session and tells her she is concerned about her child spending time in that Big Bra environment. The Doctora says she sounds jealous. Vero protests, protests, protests too much.
They Make Command Decisions:
Jesús overrides Doña Su's philosophy of "the bigger the rock, the bigger the love" and insists on a simple ring with turquoise, Alma's birthstone. It's wicked ugly, but he's the galán, so we know it will turn out all right -- after a maximum of six months of malentendidos.
They Make Wishes:
Vero calls Jesús and demands to meet his chesty girlfriend. What's her name, anyway? "Alma..." he says dreamily. Rut-Roh.
In Other News:
- The three sillies are preparing a memorable practical joke for "la nueva secretaria." Xochi is not on board, and even Susana hesitates.
- Fer suggests to Xochi that they forget all about the incident in the photocopy room. Ya think?
- Vero almost catches Elías sneaking junk food, which he hides in a houseplant. It should be noted that he looks at it with more passion than he looks at her.
- Rogue arrives home to find a rollicking party in progress on his patio, complete with a roasting pig and a tacky little bald guy who says, "Jesús invited me!" THERE WILL BE FALLOUT.

Amores Verdaderos #93 Fri 3/22/13 Big Boys Do Cry; An Unexpected Engagement
Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman. We have a really great epi this evening. We have secrets and lies all that is missing is the video tape, and we have a surprising development. So sit back with your Baileys , relax and join me on the Patio as I dish the latest on our myriad cast of characters.
We open this epi with Cris and the Angel in Angel's room talking about Angel quitting his job, Cris doesn't want that. Cris tells Angel he is her whole life and the kiss that wasn't really a kiss, just a forehead smooch and a cheeky smooch.
Next we have Guzmancito and Pau and she wants back in his life, but she is still dead to him. He can't forgive her for what she has done, Angel and Cris come in, but go right back out. Pau tries to get Guzmancito to understand, but he isn't having it and she goes, while our wonderful Guzmancito cries his tears and we on the Patio, especially Victoria from Texas, wants to wipe those tears off his face, *sigh*.

Amor Bravío #152 (Uni 147) Fri 3/22/13 The Truth About Dad or Daddy Dearest Rules The Roost…For Now
Capítulo
152
Partes 1-3
Lo Del Pasado:
Daniel has gotten Miriam’s agreement to see the doctor again for permission
to travel back to Chile—when hopefully, Shady Doc is off playing an 18 hole round
of golf that day, so that Mir gets to see his morally upright and totally
incorruptible partner for that long-awaited SECOND OPINION that Viewerville’s been hoping for. Dionisio and Isadora are toasting to putting
the finishing touches to their sinister plans for bending both Camila and
Cayetano to their wicked will. Cam will
have to cede La Malquerida—and probably an amount of personal mattress space to
Dio--and El Tonto de Yippee ¡Yai! Cayó will suffer a fatal heart
attack after tippling back a couple of Issa’s custom Poison Passion potassium
cocktails, a Viuda Negra house
specialty. Dio and Dora, the sexual sicko’s
in this story, have plunged to the depths of degenerate debauchery after the
aphrodisiac of discussing their murderous maneuverings. Bwahahahahaa!!!
Lo Del Nuevo:
Natalia, with Yago the Yutz in tow,
arrives at Daniel and Miriam’s with a wedding invitation for the coming
Saturday. The affianced couple meets Mir
and learns that Dan and Fam are leaving to return to Chile on Sunday. They’ll be there to say their good-byes to
everyone, however.
Back in the bull yards of La Malquerida,
Eleutario and Rodolfo are disputing the truth of what Ileana told Rod about
Yago’s true and most dishonorable honorable intentions in marrying the
deflowered damsel, Rodolfo’s little señorita gone astray, Natalia. Eleutario
mentions that his fruit-seller friend, Leti, told him she saw Yago the other
day picking some street walker up and driving off with her. Rod thinks it’s some stupid third-hand gossip
or something. Eleu tells him La Leti had
no reason to lie to him and knows he knows Nat and that’s why she mentioned it. Well, then, Rod says muy hot under the collar,
he hopes Amanda’s little plan works cuz that yutz doesn’t deserve her!

Amor Bravío #151 (Uni 146) Thu 3/21/13 Amor Encarcelado
Ileana tells Team Cayetano that Isadora has
been putting drops in all of Cayetano's meals.
For now, though, the drops will just be water. Rocio is anxious to have the drops analyzed
so that there's finally proof to convince Cayetano with. Ileana admits she's done a lot of stupid
crap, but she hopes she's making up for it a little now. Rocio hopes this whole experience will help
Ileana adjust her attitude. Mariano
tells Ileana there's no resentment on his part.
Ileana hopes Pablo and Luzma will be happy together. She even asks to give Refugio a kiss. Slow mo hugs all around and sappy music
playing as the allegedly reformed bad girl takes her leave.
Teresa is meeting
with one of Agustina's cronies to gather some proof of her innocence. Crony #1 says she knows Agustina, but they're
not exactly BFF's. Plus she's feeling
deceived since Augie didn't get certified in Vegas. Teresa says she thought she would, but she
was deceived. Crony #1 is also upset
that she referred other people to Agustina.
Teresa promises she'll try to get everyone what they're due, but she
really needs the woman to testify. Well,
hell no, she won't! And what's more,
Agustina should be grateful she's not planning to sue her, as long as she gets
her money back.

Amores Verdaderos #92 Thu 3/21/13 easier said than done... sweeping dirty little secrets under the rug...
Paula arrives at B house. Vicky goes to fetch Niki. Angel questions Paula’s new visit. She just came to sell Avon… jk… she came to teach piano.
In Niki’s room, FoyBoyRoy is miffed that the movie they watched is below par. And of course he has to throw another demeaning comment about Gorilita. Niki nips the subject in the bud saying Guzmi is uneducated gopher.
Vicky comes to get Niki. She does not want to take piano class today(isn’t it always the ‘just this once, pleeeeaaasseee!’ line?), wants to go get a welcome present for Tatito (Anyballs) instead. Vicky will be the piano student today instead.
Downstairs Angel tries to convince Paula to leave but to no avail. Niki, FoyRoy and Vicky come down. Niki and FoyRoy leave to go shopping. Vicky tells Paula she will be the student today, to Angel’s shock.
At KenDrat’s, Cris bit the bait hook, line and sinker, saying Dances is more violent than she thought. KenDrat keeps the play going and throws one last arrow telling Cris that Dances says she is a ho because the man she IS going out with is … wait for it… married??! … Cris is in shock. KenDrat says she fought her feelings. Cris suggests KenDrat talk to Paula, who was lover to a married man… KenDrat bubble thinks ‘stop saying stupid things!’ but thanks Cris for her advise. She is still afraid what Dances would have done if she were alone.

Dear Mena,
What else would I do since one of us monopolizes the keyboard alllll the time, if you know what I mean? And while I have a minute may I remind you to take it easy on the WTQ? You get a little overexcited when you hit those keys. I know it is hard to believe some of the antics of these characters because they give me a headache too, but have a heart. Whoever still wonders if computers can approach the brains of humans didn't watch the antics of a certain hunky lunk last night is all I can say.... Go finish up and post so that viewerville can be updated on hunky lunk's whopper tale he told Wife 2, Miriam.
Sincerely, Dell
OK, Dell and I offer you the rundown on last night's capitulo....
Miriam and Dan’s Casita: While searching for a blankie for baby Aggie, Miriam finds a pendant with the carved design of a letter C. Closer study of the pendant reveals a little “sweet nothing” inscription on it. Squinting her eyes and concentrating carefully, she wonders aloud….. whose name starts with a letter “!C!”….. hmmmmmm… What do you think “! C!”Caridad? Hmmmm…. I know….. “!C!”Camila! That’s it! Viewerville claps that she figured this out so handily. QTH? She sets her jaw firmly as she says Dan had better start explaining this, pronto. [“Beeech”, adds Mr Mena.]

PEAM - #8 - Mar. 20, 2013 -Woody and Jessie take a surprise trip; Miss OCD visits the barrio
Note from Recapper Jody: I have to remind myself not to take anything in this
novela seriously or personally, it’s a comedy. well, it’s supposed to be a comedy
anyway. At various times, the episode has become so pathetic the only thing I can do is
laugh and entertain myself with thoughts like “AVON spelled backwards is NOVA (NOVA)”.
Also, I’ve been renaming characters. For now, my new nicknames include:
Chucho -- Chuckles, Xochi -- Chachi, Fernando -- Woody. And now onto the recap...
Rog packs the money in the little case as he talks with his brother Woody.
Chuckles talks on phone with Vero. She tells him she's on her way to see his place. He
tries to talk her out of going tonight. She is determined and will see him at 6 p.m. sharp.

Amores Verdaderos #91 Wed 3/20/13 In which Cris and Salsero get Ferrettied (Although Cris doesn't Know it Yet) and Roy Courts the Balvanera Fortune.
The old:
On the gorgeous Cozumel beach, Kendra and a man in the front
row of the audience exchange a conspiratorial look.
In the Balvanera kitchen, Nikki is a brat to Lili. Lili stands up for herself. Both realize that Guzmán spent a night
away. With who?
Kendra struts her stuff and poses, sometimes high fashion,
sometimes soft-core. The other models
walk slowly in a white-clad zombie parade.
The camera focuses on Kendra and her ... er ... enhancements. There is an almost hallucinatory composition
of white and blue and beige -- sand, water, sky, white dress and blue feathers.

Amores Verdaderos #90 Tue 3/19/13 Jealousy, bitterness, and . . . more jealousy
Amores Verdaderos Cap 90—3-19-13—Jealousy, bitterness, and . . . more jealousy
Seriously, we had a lot of jealousy tonight.
Summary (based on memory—you know how I roll!).
EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER. Feel free to add or correct recap in comments. (I know I can count on you guys!)
Refried: Big Angel doesn't get why Victoria didn't respond differently to his "confession" (of how there's a woman who has tempted him to stray from the straight and narrow), not realizing that Vicki HAS NO CLUE because he never said which woman was tempting him. "She doesn't know how much I love her" he says to himself (or some such).
The New: Big Angel packs his bags. He's outta there! But no sooner is he out the door than he's in again. He can't leave Vicki. Who will look after her?
* Meanwhile, Vicki has roused Thomasina (aka The Only Sensible Person In This Episode) from her slumber to rant and rave about Big Angel's "confession." "He's tempted to cheat on his wife with Opalina!" Rant rant rant. Thomasina looks puzzled, alarmed, and finally, amused by Vicki's display. She observes that Vicki seems . . . jealous. "ME!?!?!? JEALOUS?!?!?!?" Yeah yeah, Ms. Thou Doth Protest Too Much, yeah you. Thomasina even astutely notes that Vicki is sounding just about as jealous and unglued as Christina does about Big Angel. Vicki is not amused by this comparison at all. Thomasina finally just lets it go, smiles knowingly, and says, "Well I know what I know" (or something) and leaves Vicki in her own puddle of self-delusion.

Straight to the new stuff --
Amanda’s Hostal
Aaron shares a cuppa and some wisdom with Nati. As all brides-to-be do, she sits with her
notepad scribbling down wedding plans.
She’s very busy with the boda.
She originally wanted a small wedding but Daddy Dearest really wants the
huge social event of the year. Aaron
wisely asks she wants. (see how he does that Dr. Phil thing?) She giddily responds she just wants the
day to be here now, she can’t wait to be
married! Aaron is happy because he’ll be
able to attend. He plans to leave soon
after Rafa’s book release. She’s sad to
see him go. He’s been very happy here
and has found it an enriching experience.
He almost hates to leave but his peeps in Chiapas are waiting for
him. Amanda walks in and announces that
through Daddy Dearest’s fault, Agustina’s been arrested! Nati is all impactada, “Que?”

PEAM, Tuesday 3/19/13 (#7): The Bleeping Perils of Fernando's Bleeping Package Bleep Bleep Bleep
Xochi stifles her rage as the other secretarias have the laugh of the century at Chucho in his ill-fitting uniform, a raspberry-colored wreck. Alma herself stops cold at the sight of it. Fernando joins in with some particularly withering comments and even takes a picture (and why does he want such a picture, hmmmm?).
(The secretarias are all so busy making fun of Chucho - do any of them notice the way Fernando dresses? He always looks like he's on his way to a "Miami Vice" fan club convention. That look was mockable enough even when it was actually in fashion. I think it's ten times more hilarious now.)
Alma rescues Chucho by inviting him into her office. Outside, Xochi offers to give the other secretarias the money she won on the bet (about whether he would get fired today or not) if they'll stop laughing. They pause for a moment as if to consider it, but they can't control themselves.
In Alma's office, Chucho half-jokingly suggests that the secretarias conspired with Cardenas and Fernando to get him this ridiculous uniform as revenge for his insulting remarks. Alma tells him it's really not that bad, but they both know she's only being nice. Chucho tries to be a good sport about it.
Then Alma says, "I know it's none of my business, but are you, um, well, are you gay?"

Amores Verdaderos #89 Mon 3/18/13 A Confession (Kind of)
* Lo refrito: Victoria, the jealous Balvanera princess gets owned by Arriaga. “Yes, madam, you’re right, Opalina isn’t just my spiritual guide. Good night.” Vicky is impactada, and she deserved it.
* Lo nuevo: while Nikki is anxiously waiting for her BoyToyBoyfriend, the aforementioned young gentleman is in the middle of a threesome with two American girls (who surely won the award for the most horrible accent in a telenovela). He says he’s with his coach, and they are making arrengements to his next United States tournament. By the way, he hopes this time his beloved flaquita (skinny girl) will accompany him… as his wife. Neta gets a small heart attack, but manages to feign enthusiasm: oh, that’s great, she wants to marry him so much, and now she’s super happy. Really. Roy promises that as soon as he finishes there *yuck*, he’ll pick her up.

still in the briefcase she couldn't get. A reluctant Sherlock Juarez
arrives – with four men – to arrest her on charges of fraud.

not work for them; she says she signed the documents in front of El
Diablo and Hissadora. Daniel says that they must be behind the accusation leading to this arrest. Becerra tells her not to worry; they will get
a good lawyer for her right away. Daniel tells her he will talk to
Teresa about getting her a lawyer. She seems to realize that El
Diablo is behind this arrest and thinks that this was an act of
revenge. Sherlock Juarez takes out the cuffs although he doesn't put them on her.

El refrito: Fernando threatens Jesus for wanting to leave
after everyone else has gone but Fernando gleefully hands this ridiculous work
schedule. He begs for reason from

ignominious arrival before getting to Avon so he humbly says he respects his
boss and asks for the same and return.
El nuevo: With plenty of free time for hanky-panky and no
hanky-Paty in sight, Rogue taunts Alma with a romantic dinner invitation with
candles and flowers. She gives in
and they go off smiling and together for a change.
