Amores Verdaderos #121 Wed 5/1/13 It takes a village ... to marry off a very rich child
It's too soon in our story for a Happy Ever After wedding, but just the right time for a Holy Moly, Granny, She's Gonna Blow! kind of event. So tonight, as we watch the elaborate and costly preparations for the wedding of Nikki and Roy, we see past the sunlight to the storm clouds. And more ominous still, we see Leo resurface, burning with hatred, lusting for revenge!

A scenic overlook -- corny but lovely
Nikki ignores her own feelings, her mother's advice and the pleas of the man she really loves. She can't hate Guzmán, she says, but there's no future for them. [But the important thing is she looks like a million bucks. And she cries so pretty.]
Rolando's late night visit
Lili remembers who she is [Yay, Lili!]. She tells Rollie to cool it: she's not going to provoke something [dar pie a algo] that isn't going to happen. Her first time is going to be something special, something to remember. Roy understands. And he's sad about leaving -- who knows for how long. He'll miss her.
Whoa. Something is happening to Roy's eyes. Are those tears? Yes! And when Lili tells him not to worry because she'll be waiting for him, he is a goner. A fool for love. "Don't ever forget me, Lili!" "I won't!"

PEAM #38- 5/1/13: Mata Hari, Hare Krishna, Hara-Kiri?
Recap By Pablo:

| ||||
Mati Hari:
All is fair in war and love, so Rogelio joins Jessica in order to find out more of what is going on between Fernando and Discua, Jesús and Xóchitl and everything else that has been happening under his radar. Of course Jessica drops, almost ''by accident'', that Alma is dining with the ''secretario''. From now on, Jessica will be Rogelio's eyes and ears in the office.
Rogelio invites his father-in-law-to-be to eat at LA GUACAMAYA (restaurant #3 in Monterrey) and to ask for help against Jesús, now that Fernando has declared he no longer does evil, thinks no evil, speaks no evil. Don Sebastián highlights the fact that if Alma is turning her sight somewhere else, it's because Rogelio is not doing what he should be doing!
At Avon, while eating, the menu that doesn't include the now famous carrot cake as dessert, the secretaries decide at last to help Xóchitl, and Jessica will be the ''coach'' teaching her how to keep a man by her side and happy under the sheets (something she failed at with Fernando, but juárever), she is the only one who offers her help. But as we all know, when Xóchitl goes with the milk, Jessica has gone and come back with the cheese, TWO TIMES!!, so when she says, Xóchitl, you need to open, and then pauses to finally say ''your mind'', I am sure we were all thinking something else... Jessica did it on purpose to tease her friend (and us by the way).

Qué Bonito Amor #13 (Mex 19-20.1) Wednesday 5/1/13
Note:
Until we start getting standard episodes, I will dispense with the
usual divisions of review, present, and preview.
Capitulo
19: The Consequences of Amor, Part 1
JNTR:
To the sound of our dear Don Chente singing the title song,
Maria walks down the lighted pathway through the club, up the
stairs, and to the roof where she finds another rose and the shawl
draped over the gramophone that probably once belonged to Quentin
Collins. We hear an old record playing that is implied is that of
Maria's father. She turns around to see Jorge Alfredo take off the
sombrero on the approach. They kiss to the sound of a couple singing
“Qué Bonito Amor” and this begins to feel like a Hollywood
romance from the 60s. We see that the next Norman Bates
Susanito is the one dropping the rose petals on them. Jorge Alfredo
suddenly pulls back his right hand and he is bleeding from a
splinter. Susanito teases him that working as a cargador would do
that. Maria tells him he didn't have to make this sacrifice for her.
However, he is not concerned with what it takes to show his love.
Garza
Mansion: Justo demands to know what proof the police have.
Commandante Derecho and Curtis tell him they have photos of Santos
living it up in Mexico City. They know where to find him and won't
rest until they get him. [Since we don't see the photo we wonder
how this man is so sure.]

Amores Verdaderos #120 Tue 4/30/13 The Letter and not much else
Amores Verdaderos Cap 120, 4-30-13—The Letter and not much else
Lo siento, a quickie recap which I'll hopefully flesh out later. Some highlights based on a flawed memory, plus a few screencaps. Hopefully more of those too later.
* Nikki is trying to be nice to Lili as Lili tends to her plants. But Nikki is an idiot and can't quite contain her snobby for too long. When Lili sweetly offers a plant for the wedding ceremony, Nikki says no, we're getting the best florist in the city to do the flowers, and besides, you don't realize it, but you still have too much Country Bumpkin in you to do the job! (Or something!) Can I just bop her over the head now? Anyway, the important part of the conversation is when Lili admits that while she really loved the Little Gorilla, it was hopeless and she's got this new guy now and he's a sweetie. (VOMIT!) Nikki is affected by this, and seems to be wondering if it's possible to get over Guzmancito.
* The Little Gorilla is venting to Big Angel how he knows Nikki loves him, but she's so thick-skulled she won't admit it. Even Victoria knows and would prefer him for a son-in-law over Roy the Boy! In the middle of this, Salsa-Dude comes into the bodyguard salon and overhears. Uh-oh. But Salsa-Dude seems more or less sympathetic. They start to talk about how somehow Kendra-Ho is behind it, she's vowed to mess things up for Guzman. Salsa-Dude almost lets slip how well he knows Kendra-Ho, but is able to back down a little from that so the other bodyguards don't figure it all out. They all agree that the Ho is a HO. Big Angel wonders aloud if maybe Vikki would kick the Ho out of the house if it was discovered that she was carrying the FF's baby? You think?
* Cande goes to see Anyballs to read him the riot act about what he did to poor Adriana and her baby. She doesn't, of course, admit that she knows where Adriana's baby is! Anyballs gives his typical B.S. about how he did what was best. She is disgusted with him. He admits that he's using that strand of hair that he "accidentally" snagged off of Lili to confirm that the ADN is legit. Cande is outraged that he'd doubt her word. Whatever . . . we know what the ADN will show, don't we?

Qué Bonito Amor #12 (Mex 17.2-18) Tuesday 4/30/13 Que Dices Bonita? Dices Que Sí?
Capitulo 17
Parte 2 & 18
Lo de ayer and Lo de hoy is all mixed up with Lo de mañana and Lo que no pasó, so it's all in a single narrative. Apologies for the recap being so long.
[Jorge Alfredo made it to Maria’s and La Dama del Queso will leave you with Urban Anthropologist’s beautiful words describing Jorge and Maria’s declarations of love, followed by a really nice kiss.]
Maria’s Apartment
Overcome with emotion Jorge Alfredo drops to one knee [and Viewerville is thinking, this is waaay too soon] and asks if Maria would be his novia [whew, not a marriage proposal, but it’s still too soon]. She hesitates, only so we can get close-ups of her answer, sí, quiero ser tu novia. [Ah, first love, it just carries you away, well it’ll carry Jorge Alfredo away at the very least.] He asks rhetorically, even though I will have to leave you and don’t know when I’ll be back? For nothing in the world would I trade a minute of happiness to be by your side [sigh], she replies.
This very romantic interlude is rudely interrupted by some very enthusiastic foreplay between Elvira and Celoso, right on the living room coffee table which was cleared with one sweep of the hand. Celoso stops, takes a breath and, we’re hoping, what—that he will or that he won’t, since either choice will mean bad times ahead for our main lovebirds. He picks Elvira up and as she calls him her gallito, roosters crow and he carries her off to his nidito (little nest).
A la Romeo and Juliet, we have ‘parting is such sweet sorrow’ as dawn breaks over the vecindario. JA says goodnight, my love, sleep, rest. He’ll be back to get her in the morning to take her to her classes. She doesn’t think she’ll be able to sleep, this being the most important night of her life. JA makes a slight correction, the most important night of our lives is when, *all together now, Viewerville,* no one and nothing can ever separate us, and when I return to be able to wake up every morning in your arms [didn’t Rogelio say this to Ana Paula, the two timing b@*#ard].
Next morning Amalia is aghast when she finds out that Jorge Alfredo declared himself to Maria last night and that she accepted to be his novia. Maria says it’s the best decision she's made in her life. [I think this means it’s an exclusive relationship and Celoso is not going to take it graciously, or won’t take himself por vencido.] Cute little Isa is spying on this conversation. Even though he’ll be leaving? Mama, that’s all the more reason to be novios, they don’t have much time and she wants to spend what time they do have together. Mama is just not with the program. She tells Maria that there is something about Jorge Alfredo she doesn’t like, she doesn’t trust him, he’s hiding something. She just can’t accept him as her beau. Maria says she’s within her rights to feel that way, but she needs to accept *her* decision. Amalia is not convinced.
Hollywood, LOL, L.A.
Altagracia has come to see Michael in jail. She apologizes, after an emotional embrace, that she couldn’t come any sooner as Justo had forbidden her to come. Michael is like a son to them and a brother to Santos, so she just had to, to get his side of the story. Michael assures her that Santos is innocent of the fraud and money laundering charges (and whatever else Comm. Derecho digs up). It would be impossible for him to do any harm. It had to be a trap. They tried to kill him when he was in Tijuana. That’s why he fled to Mexico City. Mexico City? Alta repeats (a little louder please, so the guards can hear you), Santos went to Mexico City (ok, now they probably heard you). He’s still in danger, Mike tells her.
Back in the Barrio
Jorge is singin’ in the sunshine. He’s at Oh Happy Day, except it’s all in Spanish, as Irasema watches bemused. He’s in a good mood today, what happened? Well, he took her advice and Doña Prudencia’s and declared his love to Bonita and she responded. She tells him she’s happy for him and that La Bonita is fortunate to have such an upstanding young man by her side. JA wants to know if she has anyone, boyfriend, partner? No, sadly, who would look at someone like her. JA says she has a good heart and surely there is someone for her. He doesn’t dilly-dally because he’s got places to go and things to do.
Now we see Jorge knocking on a door we know is not Maria’s nor probably Celoso’s. Ah, he asks for Braulio and mistakes the maid for his wife. (Well, what did he know, don’t all wives in DF wear braids and aprons?) He’s come to pay the back rent for Maria, all of it. Surprised to see him, Braulio does take it and counts it. It comes with strings, JA intimates. Braulio is not to bother either mujer any more. Well, he may if they don’t pay on time. Jorge Alfredo announces that from now on, *he* is taking over payments and Braulio can be assured it will always be on time—so, no, bothering Amalia and Maria any more. [Ay de mi, Jorge, it’s obvio you deal with honest folks and contracts are sealed with no more than a handshake—but why didn’t you ask for a receipt?]
Amalia is walking Isa to school. Isa is complaining about not being able to go to the park because of her low math grades. Amalia says she’s being punished and that is the way it’ll be. They run into JA (on his way to pick up Maria) and in a leap of genuine affection, Isa rushes into his arms for a hug. Then he finds out why she’s being punished. He volunteers to help her with her math lessons. Amalia looks on, so, in addition to being a mechanic, a ranchero singer and who knows what else, he can tutor in math? Coloso was right to talk about him, she says. Isa has begged for an ice pop and is gone so the adults can have a serious convo about his intentions with Maria.
But first we go back to Susanito’s barrio to watch the “boys” playing a little pick-up soccer and a little pick-up about their very first loves. Celoso starts reminiscing about his first and lost love, Gloria [hmmm, where have we heard *that* name before] and then they turn on Susanito and start teasing him. Tongue-tied, he blurts out that his first love was, wait for it, his mother—and he runs off.
Jorge Alfredo doesn’t know what Celoso told Amalia about him. They talked about not hurting her daughter. He wants her to know he tried to live up to his promise to leave Maria alone, but he hurt her trying to separate her from him. What they both feel for each other is too strong. He loves her, he promises he’ll come back for her and take charge of her (in a nice way—cargar). Amalia doesn’t believe him, thinks he’s hiding something and says men all make promises like that. JA reminds her that not all men are alike. Amalia doesn’t want him to think she is selfish about trying to keep Maria pain-free, but she does know what it is like to suffer for love. JA doesn’t want her to suffer either and declares that Maria awoke this love in him, but now only the hand of God can separate them.
Hollywoodland, LOL
Mama Altagracia is having a serious talk with Memewendyme. She can’t get it through her tousled head that Santos is innocent. Look, Michael is in jail, just like Bruno. Go talk to Michael. Oh, Wendy points out, he would defend him. Is she insinuating that Bruno is lying? Of course not, it’s that everyone has ganged up on Santos and he’s not here to defend himself.
Back to the Barrio
Jorge Alfredo has reached Maria’s apartment to take her to class. He greets her with a rose. They’re happy, bantering, laughing as they collect her things. [It’s bound not to last, but, please, telenovela gods, give us a few more episodios to watch these two being happy in love.] They stop along the street to look at an old model car, like one JA used to have and Maria shows him the simple wooden truck like the kids in her barrio had to play with. He would love to have had one like that. He leans over and says to her, Gracias por estar conmigo. Then Maria sees an old hand cranked victrola. She’s enchanted by it because she’d be able to hear her father’s voice again, since she actually has his first disc. When he offers to get it for her, she thinks he’s crazy; it’s too much money and she’d never be able to pay him back. He says he’ll make it a gift (un regalo). They continue their walk towards classes.
The Horse Whisperer – in Spanish, of Course
As they cross the plaza, an entrepreneur has set up a real horse and is taking pictures of kids, and anyone else who wants one, on the horse. Suddenly, the horse shies and the kid on his back could be in danger. Jorge Alfredo to the rescue. Who knew, now he adds Horse Whisperer to his resumé. All’s well that ends well. The photographer, grateful to JA for being able to dodge a lawsuit, offers him anything he wants, anything. JA says, naw, but photoguy presses him. As a lark, JA asks Maria if she would like a ride. We guess she did, because here they come.

PEAM, Tuesday 4/30/13 (#37): Father Knows Best
(Now that I've seen the whole episode I don't think that was such a great title, but oh well. Maybe Father will know best tonight.)
Vero takes all of Chucho's cashand his bus tokens and leaves Orion. That company really needs a better policy for employee guests.
Rogue sees Discua winking at Fernando and suddenly realizes why his brother has been so particularly idiotic lately. (Actually, Rogelio, you were shockingly slow to figure that out. Who's the imbécil now?) Fern says he's got a spiritual force-field to protect him from Rogue's bad vibes. He says something about Jesus (the religious one) and Rogue shudders. "Don't invoke that name!" I only mention it because I neglected to include a similar scene in last week's recap when someone said "encanto" to Chucho and he reacted the same way upon hearing Fernando's old nickname for him.)
At Orion, the Two Sillies accuse confront Chucho with their discovery that he, personally, delivered a new/revised application to the Camera, er, Chamber of Cosmetics this morning - on Avon's behalf. They remind him that he can go to prison for industrial espionage. Gee, who saw that coming? Hahahaha.
So THAT'S how the writers deal with portraying Avon as a den of gangsters and gossips: they create a fictitious rival that's just as bad. Brilliant!

Amores Verdaderos #119 Mon 4/29/13 The happy return of the Angel and the Flower... Grandma has a secret. Bride of Foy Toy makes her bed... now she will have to sleep in it, says Mom. Previews: The amazing race?
Refritis:
Little flower repeats to Angel she understands he needs to rebuild his life. He is proud and surprised at how time has passed and she has become a woman, despite all the sorrows she had to go through since her mom died.
He will support her no matter what. She admits it will be hard to see him in love with another… HE is surprised … (really, man?)
Lo Nuevo:
KenDrat on phone with her partner in continuing with the skid of fooling Nikki-NilBrainsChild re: ‘traga-platanos .. eh.. dinero’ Gorilita’s gigolo page.
Said Nikki-NilBrainsChild is arguing with her mother and Gorilita about them not agreeing with her wedding. She keeps insulting. Gorilita won’t stay quiet ‘taking care of you has many angles’. Nikki-NilBrainsChild keeps insulting in his face that she picked Roy-Foy-Toy over him (yeah, NilBrainsChild has earned her nickname, besides ‘fool-B’). Vicky insists they mean her well, but Nikki-NilBrainsChild keeps insulting right out the door. Vicky prays for God to enlighten her (give her brain cells she did not inherit from dear daddy?)
Back to KenDrat nagging on her own about not being able to wear her jewels since she has told everyone they were stolen from her. Nikki-NilBrainsChild ended up in her room telling her what just happened with mommy and Gorilita, they insist she not marry. KenDrat has missed a breath but recovers quicky to insist she keep going with the wedding plans and repeating about Gorilita being a two-faced money-hungry gigolo.
KenDrat tells Nikki-NBC that Dr is coming to give her a good-2-go check up.
Vicky tells Adri about trying to convince Nikki not to marry, Don’t want Nikki to follow her example, marrying a man without love. Adri says you & Gorilita did the right thing, but ultimately it is Nikki’s ticket to ride to doom.
With heavy heart Vicky says whatever Nikki decides, she will support it.
Adri jumps for joy when Vicky says Angel is coming back to his old job.
Vicky also tells Adri she has been a real good counselor/support for Lilli. Adri a bit taken aback, changes subject, what about Vicky and Arriaga? Vicky, again with heavy heart, tells her Angel’s condition to return is that it will be just for job, their ‘relationship’ is in the past. Adri asks ‘will you be able to put your feelings on hold?’ Vicky says for the sake of Arriaga, will have to.

Amores Verdaderos #118 Fri 4/26/13 Frankie Keeps Trying, But Kendho Won't Let Him Succeed; What is Anyballs Up To?; FF Thinks He is the Decider
I am diving right into this epi. Things will not be in order to have a better flow of the recap.
The Coffee Talk: We start this epi with Ms Vikki and the Angel having coffee at the infamous mall. You know the one, where she was almost kidnapped. They are catching up with each other. They look quite happy to be seeing each other, like friends who haven't seen each other in some while. The Angel is looking muy bueno with is dungree jacket and jeans, sigh! Ms Vikki has moved Zambrano up in the world. He isn't guarding the gates anymore, he is her personal bodyguard now, until the Angel comes back of course. Well, the Angel isn't sure he is coming back. He knows he owes Ms Vikki still for all the money she gave him and he is a man of his word. He informs her he is selling his little ranchera in Santa Rita. He and Lili decided it would be best, cause they can't ever go back there, now that Cris is gone. Ms Vikki tells him she is always there for him, and if he wants his job back it's there whenever he is ready. He tells her if he comes back to work for Ms Vikki it will only be as her bodyguard, cause the guy that declared his love to her and kissed her at the bus station, is dead, I tell you dead. He died the same day as Cris. It's a deal, she'll take him, er, she'll deal with whateva he wants to do. She looks like she is about to go, but then she reaches into her purse to extract a hand written missive she has written, she explains she's carried it with her, just on the off chance they ran into each other. Angel isn't buying that, but accepts the missive. He starts to open it, but she blushingly tells him not here, later. She wants him to know that she put her whole heart into this missive. They gaze at each other. Hmmmm. Later on there is a split screen shot of the Angel by a lake at the park and Ms Vikki in her little room. Ms Vikki is saying she doesn't think the Angel is coming back, that she respects his decision but she will miss him. The Angel is sitting with his back to a tree, in his dungaree hawtness, and opens the missive Ms Vikki gave him. It reads: May life caress you and fate open it's arms to you. May solace find you and Dios guide your steps. May hope arise and shower you with the certainty that you will always be with me. He looks at it and then crumbles it up. He sits for a bit and picks it up again and smoothes it out.

Qué Bonito Amor #10 (Mex 14.2-15) Friday 4/26/13 ¡Qué Bonita Sorpresita! O La Gran Entrada [What A Nice Little Surprise! Or, The Grand Entrance]
Caps 14.5 – 15
Lo
del Pasado:
Amalia lets Mancia read her
tarot cards and there’s a nasty warning in them: either she or her daughters
are in for a lot of pain. Meanwhile, Maria
and Snooty Bargirl Babes are on their way to computer class when they notice Santos/Jorge
Alfredo walking through the plaza towards them.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Maria can’t take her
eyes off moping Jorge Alfredo. He
noticed her and has walked over to speak on a serious matter with her, namely
to tell her the truth! Like the rest of us, he’s piqued Maria’s
interest. He tells her, during a walk in the nearby
park, that he’s leaving because of a moral duty to do so. Otherwise, if it were up to him, he’d stay
there in the D.F. permanently. “—Sure,
you told me that already; that’s why you don’t want to see me again. OK. You were right.” Seeing him kissing some other woman, though,
is eating at Maria and she can’t help but put it out there. “—I saw you kissing some woman last night.”
Point of
clarification here. “—That was Elvira,
and I wasn’t kissing her. She kissed me!” Same thing, whines Maria! No, of course it isn’t, argues JA! Why? “--Because I don’t love
her! And, at this point in time, there’s
only one woman I would kiss.”
Maria wants to
believe Jorge Alfredo, but Snooty Bargirl Babes show up and tell her break is
over. Time
to get back to classes. JA stares into Maria’s eyes
and tells her she’s his only angel. Snooty
# 1 who’s in love with Fernandlo, aka, Mil Amores intervenes and drags Maria
away. “—Aw,
get off it, hot-stuff!” [¡Bájalo, chulito! = ‘Tamp it down,
cutie-pie.’] Maria and he exchange longing
glances,as she walks back to class.

Porque el Amor Manda #35: Spying Eyes Get a Surprise, the Puppy Fetches Popcorn, and Everybody Goes to Chatita's
Jesús and Alma are in the Avon conference room working on some project or another -- I don't really know what it is and I don't think they care -- while Rogue watches them on the office security cameras. Patimelt slips into the office buns-first (how does she DO that?) and joins the audience. Alma and Pati are both wearing these really cute slit-sleeved blouses that were all the rage in los escaparates de Miami last month, and I want one really bad but of course mine would have to be fleece-lined. Anyway, Alma drops her pen and both she and Jesús slide under the table to look for it...for a long time. Rogue freaks completamente OUT. Pati helpfully points out that they've had plenty of time for a quickie and even furnishes voices for the silent movie. That girl is a hoot and a half.

Weekend Discussion: Food!
One of the things I love about novelas is the kitchen scenes. The kitchens of the mansions and haciendas all look like such welcoming places, full of Andalucian tile and gorgeous produce on the tables that one of the first things I would do if I won a huge lottery is buy a house large enough to have a kitchen like that.
We often note the food because hospitality is a dictate of the ancient gods and because it often demonstrates the relationship of the characters who are sharing the food. We all fell in love with the cooking scenes in Amor Bravio that showed the bonding of Viviana and Rafael and the love between Piedad and her daughter. The waitress in last night's restaurant scene in Que Bonito Amor explaining the dish she served Santos was clearly proud of it and of her country's cuisine. She had a most welcoming attitude. Gala of Un Refugio Para El Amor and Veronica in Porque el Amor Manda use food as a weapon of control; I cringe at the possibility that Valentina will have eating disorders when she's older.
So..... do you enjoy cooking? Do you get creative with it? Do you favor any particular cuisine? Do you have a signature dish you contribute to potlucks and other parties? Do you watch anything on the Food Network?
Finally, do you have a favorite food scene from a novela (just to keep this from being totally off-topic)?

Qué Bonito Amor #9 (Mex 13-14.1) Thursday 4/25/13 Que Bonita Tristeza
Is it really only the second week? They're really packing a lot into these commercial-less episodes! Here we go!
My recording starts with Maria crying over the breakup to two of the Saucy Wenches outside the bar. Santos/Jose Alfredo is spying on her and tells himself he has to get a job somewhere, anywhere, so he doesn't make her suffer anymore. Has anyone brought this up as a trope yet? That doing the thing that's intended to keep someone from suffering is actually the thing that makes them suffer?
At home, Paloma is daydreaming about her teen heartthrob and doodling hearts in her notebook…she summons a vision of him right there inside her notebook and smooches it. Heh.
Meanwhile, he's mooning over his laptop where Paloma's name appears. His mom overhears him sighing over Paloma and asks him what's up and how school was. She asks why he's not unhappy about going to school anymore. "Ummm, cause I like it a lot." I think Mami knows something's up, but thankfully for him, she and Susanito's mom did not attend the same Mom classes!
Paloma is still smooching on that notebook in a way that makes me fear she'll end up with paper cuts all over her face. She gets busted by Isa, who won't take "nothing" for an answer. She tries to say she wasn't kissing her notebook, but come on, Isa's no fool. Paloma calls her "metiche" (nosy), but seriously, if you're going to get it on with a notebook in the middle of your living room, you're just asking to get caught!
Doña Prudencia is on the phone with a painter she hired to fix up a room, but they stood her up. Jose Alfredo offers to do it for her and she agrees, in exchange for a week's rent.

PEAM #34- The Episode Where The Children Act Like Adults and the Adults Act Like Children, Except in the Basement!
Panfilio gives Ferny a piece of his mind, Ferny runs out to
look for the “garbage” bags of money.
He found them!!! Panfilio
lets him know that possession is 9/10 of the law. He bribes the workers and they put the money into his trunk
and then he gives them a handshake and no money. - Jerk!!! He proceeds to do a stiff- Idiot
version of a Happy Dance!! Fern
meets up with the other two stooges- Malvino and Silverio. Fern calls them useless. (The pot calling the kettle-in other
words -el burro hablando de orejas)
Malvino tells him that he stinks.
Fern also tells Malvino that Jesus recognized him. Fern was questioned by the Federal police. Fern smells himself. - Phew.
Fern’s phone rings and Rogue is yelling on the other end, to
get the status of the bags. Why didn’t you answer the phone? I was busy with your money. Fern has to
return immediately back to the office because Alma has a problem with the
certification. He is coming but he
has to stop home and bathe first.
He hangs up on his brother.
Ricardo sees Marisela in the break room and asks if she is
okay. She seems a little sad. He is still in heaven over his 2-second
kiss and asks Marisela if she felt anything. She denies it.
He felt that for the 2 seconds there was something, it was better than nothing
at all. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Marisela asks Susana if she had a love of
her life that escaped. Susana doesn’t
want to share her business.
Fern is showering while Patymelt calls. Patymelt wants to know if Fern told
Rogue about her tidbit of information. She wants details. Ferny speaks about Rogue having an
ace up his sleeve, (As de la manga) but doesn’t know what it is.
Paty tells Ferny that he has to earn his position. Gee, she is annoying.
The two Orion sillies are at Jesus’ computer; Jesus moves
them away because he wants to speak to his daughter. They start asking questions- are you married, etc. Jesus skype
to Valentina. He notes that she is
a little sad. Val is worried about
her mom who is still “sick” in her room.
Jesus says that she is okay because he just saw her. She came to his office. She didn’t sign her school paper. She wants her mother to go to a school
social with her but since she is not available and Elias is not around, so she
asks Jesus, who will go to the ends of the Earth with
Cardenas is practicing how he will speak to Jessica. He has no swag. Gilberto enters the office, overhears
the “practice session” and asks if he likes Jessica. Cardenas tells him to be careful because there are important
records in his office. Come on, the door was open. Gilberto has a problem- his wife is mad with him and he needs
money to buy her a little gift, so he use the money that Cardenas gives him in
exchange for his silence about Jessica.
Paty is showering herself with perfume and Rogue asks about
seeing Ferny and what is she planning, Rogue warns her to stop interfering with
he and Alma. He will marry
Alma. Paty is at a loss for words
but she is furious. (She gets what
she deserves.) Who is conspiring
against whom???
Jesus calls Vero and speaks to Minerva. She yells that she doesn’t want to talk
to anyone. Jesus asks Minerva to
keep an eye on Val.
Elias knocks on Chatita’s door. She thinks that Elias is the plumber. Then she recognizes him as the
drunk. She tires to tell him that
Vero was there, a la Abbott and Costello style. She invites him in.
Marisela claims that she is staying at a 5 star hotel but
her father canceled her credit cards.
Xochy offers her apartment to Marisela. Discua wants to know why was she fighting with her father, it’s
not holy. Honor thy parents.
Jessica is trying still raging over Discua. Ferny doesn’t want to hear about Discua
and Jessica says that he smells.
In the next moment he is so sexy and wants to jump his bones. Cardenas
arrives to see her “working on Fern” and his luscious bouquet shrivels up to
dried up branches. A saddened
Cardenas sulks away.
Val has the foresight to call her therapist. The child is more mature than most of
the adults in this novela!! She
said that her mother said that she could call her in an emergency and this is
an emergency.
Elias tries to talk to Chatita, who confuses us all by her
memory. Chatita asks Elias if he
thought about Val when he left.
She thinks of him as a father.
Jesus enters Alma’s office, he needed to see her, and he
can’t hide what he is feeling.
Where is Rogue, he has left and Jesus plants a sensuous soul touching
kiss on Alma. (Is this a dream?)
Yep, it was a nightmare for Rogue. He wakes up and calls for Susana. He asks if Jesus ahs arrived. He asks Susana to check the boardroom for Jesus. Jesus arrives and Xochy squeals like a
little pig and starts kissing all over him. He tells her that he is here to work. Xochy will stay with Jesus. Marisela reminds
her that she was going to take her home.
She ask him for an Eskimo kiss,
After the nookie fest, Fern warns Jessica to stay away from
his Discua. Jessica is none too
happy. Cardenas approaches the 3 sillies
and says that he thought that Jessica and Fern had split. Gilberto disagrees because
there was a big ruckus at the restaurant with Fern over Discua. Cardenas wants to keep his love for
Jessica a secret. Yeah right, with
these 3 sillies. They discuss how
Discua is a virgin and is waiting until marriage to have sex.
Chatita sends Elias back to Val. Elias wants to tell Chatita his problems but she is focused
on Val. Chatita misses her son. She embraces his photo.
Marta the Therapist arrives at the Ice Castle.
Rogue feels that it would be more comfortable to work in the
boardroom as opposed to Alma’s office. He is not staying to help. (I smell a
rat) He tells Susana that if
anyone asks he has left and he asks for Susana to call the crack security team.

Amores Verdaderos #116 Wed 4/24/13 How Lucía came to be Liliana
Aníbal assures Victoria that he will take care of Nelson and his dastardly blackmailing scheme. And then maybe Arriaga -- and Liliana -- will be willing to come back to the mansion. The old reprobate has no trouble believing in Victoria's innocence. Fooling around with her bodyguard? Please. (¿En qué cabeza cabe que mi hija -- ¡una Balvanera! -- se relacione con su guardaespaldas?)
It is a new day at the mansion. Adriana has read a couple of chapters of Victoria's novel and, remarkably, doesn't mock her. Not even a little. Instead she offers her support and her discretion. Did Nelson read her romantic tale and think that it was fact, not fiction? Well no, says Vikki, there was a video -- a dirty trick really. Adriana suggests that Nelson himself might have been behind the video. It makes sense -- he was so jealous of Arriaga.
