Corazón Indomable Cap. 1, 5/13/13: Our Galan is an Unemployed Bum, Who Just Proposed to Someone Else for Money, But He Sure is Lindo and Chulo


We start our tale with a flourish of accordions, trumpets and strings and zoom in on a beautiful river where two dark-haired lovelies are swimming and frolicking. They are our heroine Maricruz Olivares and her little sister Soledad, aka Solita. But very soon the music turns sinister, and a dark horse comes galloping to the shore with a menacing looking rider. He ogles the two young girls and talks to himself about how the two sisters are like wild animals, especially Maricruz. But Solita, the deaf-mute (sordomuda), is just like how he likes his women. One day she’ll be his! Eeewwww!!!!

Next we are transported to a lovely hacienda, where our galan Octavio Narváez has just driven up to the front door. Inside, his brother Miguel and sister-in-law Lucia argue about how much longer he and his brother will be at odds over what to do with the lands. Miguel seems to think he’ll be able to put off his little brother as easily as always. Lucia wonders why he doesn’t just sell the land already, and give his brother his part. Miguel doesn’t know what he’d do with his life without the land. And little brother Octavio would just burn through the cash quickly anyways, like he always does.

PEAM #46, 05/13/13 - "Jesús' Wild Ride? or Rogelio's Walk on the Wild Side?

Amigos de PEAM, I apologize for poor planning but I must go to a high school graduation for a first cousin twice removed who is the last blood relative I can recognize for her great accomplishments in high school. Hurray for Kayla.  But back to the subject matter, my recording devices are all malfunctioning and I cannot see the capitulo tonight so please discuss at will.  If any kind soul posts highlights, I will copy them here into the body of the post later tonight.  Saludos, Cheryl y Willa
Here is Willa with her best friend Cisco, She is always the poser.

Thanks to Pablo Villalobos for the following succinct recap he shared in tonight's comments:
"Well... what can I say... it's still nov the 7th from 6 to 9 pm aprox, so no Discua or stooges since everybody should be in their homes already.

Jesús goes to meet XóchiTL's mother, then runs to talk to Alma and then runs to see Valentina. He didn't have time to drink the coffe his ''girl-friend'' prepared.

Then Pánfilo shows up at Chatita's to make a quick FAMSA commercial and also leaves without drinking whatever Chatita had to offer.

Patricia makes a very huge deal after seeing Rogelio with Jessiquita and her whip, have a tantrum and breaks several things, takes the video home and then sends it to Rogelio to ''negotiate'' their relationship status.

Marisela kisses Elías, Martha visits Valentina and meets the ''famous'' Jesús, and probably spends the night there. I can almost see Verónica licking her lips in advance!!

Not much, nothing really interesting... ;-(  "

Porque el Amor Manda #45: The Princess Cries, The Villain Lies, and Our Favorite Couple Dies Inside

He's a Magic Man

Jesús is overcome by the sight of Alma in her wedding dress...and even more overcome when she  gets her hair stuck in her zipper while the saleslady has conveniently dashed out to the bodega. Once again they find themselves in a compromising position as he tries to get her untangled. The writers must have dashed out to the bodega, too, because there is no one eavesdropping on the extremely suggestive dialogue that ensues. ("Do you want it slow or fast...I don't want to hurt you!...Oooh, you have magic hands...") She tries to comp him a white linen suit to wear to the wedding, but apparently that's too big a tip for a simple disrobing assist, and he rebuffs her.

Qué Bonito Amor #20 (Mex 29.2-30) Friday 5/10/13 In Which Lorena Learns That Big Break-ups Suck Big Time and Maria Learns That Making Up is Better Than Breaking Up Anytime



Cap. 2nd ½ #29 + #30



That evening, post-confirmation of Maria and Santo’s still being in love with each other via singing “Si Nos Dejan”…..

Ana (as does Viewerville now) notes hotly that Fernando, El Mil Amores ese, is self-absorbed to the max.  She listens to him tell his distressing story, vainly complaining to Santos how although he loves Roxana, he doesn’t love her enough to let her move in with him (like Mr. So Important’s got more than a jail cell sized 8x10 space to share with her anyway).  JAntos reminds him that she’s in trouble with her gangster hubby because of him in the first place.  No skin off his nose that she’s been salving her soul by sharing her bed and becoming ….er…bosom buddies with Mil Amores!  No, he’s not a man made for one woman, or better said, a one-woman man.  Ana loses it cuz she’s heard enough at this point.  “—You ridiculous little man!  You coward!”  “--Hey, this isn’t any of your business!”  “—It is when I say it is and I do cuz she doesn’t deserve this!”  She stomps out of the room. 

Susanito (our Boy Named Sue--do you think something like this is what Johnny Cash had in mind when he wrote that song?) worries about why she’s so upset with Mil.  He pompously preens.  Stupid boy!  “—It’s obvious that she’s jealous, very jealous!” 

Out in the empy dining room, Selena begs Annie to back off Mil cuz it’s obvious she’s letting him know she’s in love with him.  No reason to deny it.  Either she forgets him or she fights for him.  She can’t have it both ways cuz it’s obviously tearing Annie to pieces.  Annie has to admit to herself that she does love him and hasn’t been able to get Fernando out of her head since the first day she met him. ¡Ay!  

Back in the dressing room, the mariachis are now sneaking a grammar school giggle over Sue’s sad state of dishabille forever caught as a poster-sized Kodac moment, courtesy of El Aventurero.  “—Looks like he needs to change dressing rooms (camerino) with Maria from now on!” Mil and BNS walk in on the group, getting a gander of the poster-sized image of him wearing Mama’s pink and white flowered bathrobe.  Sue, embarrassed, slinks out of the room as El Coloso sniggers about him about getting him a pink charro suit for the act.

Meanwhile, JAntos has changed and walked over to Maria’s colonia where he stands outside her window moping.  Maria looks out her window and notices him there.  He blows a kiss her way and in the shadows she tearfully accepts the imaginary kiss, still believing that he two-timed her with Elvira.

The next afternoon, Rodrigo returns home from prep-school.  He and Gloria have an odd mother-son chit-chat about what a terrific son he is and how independent and self-reliant he is. FF>>

At the same time, Lorena Olmo, Ruben-Olmo-Attorney-at-Law’s, bitchy bitchin’ wife, is showing her posse what she has in store for straying hubby’s birthday party that night.  She’s going to enjoy putting that caterwauling two-bit bargirl and her cheating hubby, Ruben, in their place.   Eeeewwww!   Viewerville and her posse note the nasty time to be had by all when they get a load of the remote screen the scheming shrew got set up in the back yard to spice the evening up.   Lorena calls Concho’s place and contracts the mariachis for that night to do a serenade, complete with a request to have Maria singing a special birthday song carrying a huge bouquet of flowers which she’s to hand over to Hubby personally at the end of the song. 

That day Amalia is having a hard time adjusting to being blind.  Maria and she pray for patience and guidance; and then Maria goes through the house letting her mama feel distances and such.  Amalia’s in a much better mood.

At the same time, Mil and JAntos are discussing why Maria is in such a funk about luhhhhv, how she thinks now that her father was a playboy and totally unfaithful to his wife.  Mil says he knew Pedro and that it wasn’t like that at all.  He knows a man from Pedro’s old group of mariachis who was a close buddy of his that they can talk to possibly, but he happens to live on the way to Nezahualcoytl…er…Neza for short.  

In LA at the state prison there, Bruno and Arnold are having a sitdown with cousin Giuliano, the worm meister.  They’re about to be set free, says El Gusano, but watch out about making any statements to the press.  Why, asks Bruno who is having third and fourth thoughts already about the jam he’s put Santos in, is ol’ Giuli worried he might be put into a compromising situation, now or what?  El Gusano stares nastily back at his mouthy cous.

Meanwhile, JAntos and Fernando arrive in Neza, but as they start to take in the sights a patrol car stops next to them and puts its lights on.  Out jumps a cop with a wanted notice and tells him to stop.  He’s arresting him as the fugitive, Santos Marinez de la Garza!!  Santos freezes then suddenly he breaks into a run. 

Back in L.A., Arny and Bruno have a presser of a presser.  Some lady reporter sticks a microphone in his face and asks Bruno if he feels betrayed by de la Garza somehow.  El Gusano de Giuliano answers that he’s a forgiving soul and only wants justice and the pursuit of those who are truly guilty.  (Viewerville says Amen to that one!)

Fernando leads the cops into a wild goose chase and he and JAntos finally make it to a safer part of the city.  Ok.  So now Santos has got to be more careful, they figure.  No duh!  

That night at Ruben’s birthday bash, old elderly Mama and Papa Olmo are there to help sonny boy celebrate.  El Coloso and Crew are there.  They begin their act and JAntos realizes they’re at Ruben’s house.   “—Something’s going on.  Something’s  going on!”  They decide to continue to sing anyway. Mom ‘n Pops Olmo (who remind me of my very average sweet and elderly family members more than the ordinary run of rich scum buckets we generally familiar with.)  Ruben and his BFF, Fabian, are surprised to see Maria sing him las Mañanitas.  Maria is even more shocked to see that she’s been hired to sing at Ruben’s party.  When she’s finished the song, Lorena viciously points out Maria to all the guests and declares that she’s Hubby’s lover and the reason he’s leaving her and their children.  Ruben claims Lorena’s just drunk too much is all.

Down comes the remote-controlled movie screen and up go the guests’ eyebrows when Maria and Ruben are shown talking chummily over lunch at the restaurant the other day, and Ruben is giving her chin-chucks and cheek fondles. RUH-ROH!   Even JAntos becomes saucer-eyed and red-faced impactado.  Maria just wants the earth to swallow her whole right where she stands.   Lorena narrates: “—This is the real Ruben Olmo, the perfect father, perfect son, perfect husband—but by day because by night he cavorts with this woman at a mariachi club!” 

Maria angrily throws the forgotten bouquet in her hands to the ground and warns Lorena to watch what she says.  Rather than start something, JAntos hold her back and advises her not to do anything.  “—It was a trap.”   They turn to leave.  Show’s over, says El Coloso.  All the mariachis head back out but they stop when they hear Fabian insult them.  “—Yeah, we don’t need some scandal over an insignificant woman.”  Mil turns to face Fabian.  “--What did you say??”  “—Just what you heard, you clown!  This isn’t some mariachi bar!  This is a decent house!”  JAntos overhears the snide aside and grabs Fabian by the collar.  “—You’ll respect my woman!”  The or else implied here is eating a knuckle sandwich, American style.  Poor Mama Olmo is about to have a heart attack from the embarrassment and shock.  Ruben’s family begs him to calm things down. Papa Olmo tells them no fisticuffs allowed. Ruben tells JAntos best to get out of his house.  “—Er, please.” Ok.  Since he asked nicely, they all start back out again. 

Back in L.A. at the de la Garza manse, meantime, Justo keeps searching through the documents the worm meister left him trying to find something to hang his hat on that will prove Santos’ innocence.

Mil Amores grabs a silver tray with hors doeuvres and bottle of whiskey.  The boys didn’t get a chance to eat because they came to give the serenade, he explains. “—I hope this whiskey I’m going to drink is a top notch brand.”  They call him an insolent servant and ask where he’s been raised.  He turns Lorena and Ruben.  I may be a poor ruffian from the lower class, but I was raised well.  Any disrespectful behavior or bad manners I’m learning here from this poor woman who hasn’t learned how to hang on to her husband! 

“—I’m known as Mil Amores and I take care of lonely women who have been abandoned by their husbands.  I’ll take care of your frustrations for you, Señora.”  Lorena’s mama asks what’s going on here.  Nothing, answers El Coloso, just another demonstration of the lack of respect found in members of your class.  Lorena is about to smack Fernando or Col a good one, but Ruben stops her and tells her to cool her jets.  Col and Mil turn on their heel and strut off.  Ruben gets grief from the parental units and insists that none of Lorena’s crazy accusations are true.  Ruben eventually asks one of his guests to pay off the band for him.  Fabian goes along with him.  

Maria is ashamed.  Jantos tries to calm her down, telling her that everyone there realizes they set a trap for her. “—But it’s not fair!”  He swears that he’ll believe her, that he believes in her unconditionally [ciegamente = blindly] no matter what was said.  Then Fabian shows up with the check and insults them all again.  “—Here is your payment, you poor bastards.  Wouldn’t want you to do without since I realize you live from hand to mouth every day.” Jantos grabs the check, looks at it and tears it up.  Then he jumps him and they break into fisticuffs.  Fabian’s friends and the boys in the band pull the two of them apart (unfortunately).  “—Hey you, little lawyercito you.  Tell that guy, Pines, or Mahogany or yeah, Elm [olmo=elm] that sooner or later he is going to pay.”  Col tells them to scram before they make mincemeat out of them.  Mil throws the scraps on the tray over at them.  “—Hey!  What’s the matter?  You’re alley cats and that's what the servants do, right?”  The three metrosexual nincompoops huddle.

Bruno is finally a free man again; he decides to call up Wendy.  They agree for her to show up at the no-tell motel he’s registered in since he’s now persona non-grata at the de la Garza manse.  Wendy races over to Bruno’s motel room and they make up for lost time, putting the bed sheets through the wringer.  Over in the corner of the yard, Coloso tries to make Maria understand that Ruben isn’t a friend she can count on at all.  During this whole scene he never said a single word in her favor or lifted a finger to help her, says El Coloso. He even sent out his flunkies to pay us.  It means he’s not man enough to have!

Once the guests are gone, Ruben packs his bags and complains to his bitchy wife about the humiliating party she’d tricked him with.  He’s not lying and has nothing to cover up for her.  “—Right.  Just like all the other times, right?”  (Face it babe.  Ruben’s got an itch you are simply unable to scratch.  Cut your lossees.  Take the house and the car and the big bank account.  Find a new squeeze at the club.)  She threatens him that she’ll do something to Maria for making him leave her.  Ruben tells her he’s sick of her paranoia and her histrionics.  He’s owdaheya!!

The mariachis drop Maria off at her colonia.  Jantos wants to take her up.  She won’t let him go with her and reminds him that although she appreciates the way he defended her this evening, there’s no longer anything between them.  They’re still finished as a couple. Maria goes upstairs and cries over him. “—I mustn’t love him, but I can’t forget about him.  I don’t know how to get him out of my heart.”     

After Bruno and Wendy have broken the tension, so to speak, we learn that Bruno feels really rotten for disgracing their two families.  (Good.  He should.)  Wendy is totally on his side no matter what happens.  (Yeah, we eagerly wait seeing if she’s just as faithful to him when she finds out what a rat fink he’s really been!) They’ll face whatever comes together, she says. 

A group of the mariachi’s go out for late night tacos and discuss, what else?  The woes and lows of loving and losing a woman. 

Santos gets an idea of a way to win back his Bonita.  Can Fernando help him?  Sure thing.  Does a bear go er…berry-hunting in the woods?  Is IL Papa Catholic? 

An hour or two later, Fernando, El Baritono, and Sue begin playing a love song under Maria’s living room window. She and Amalia wake up.  Amalia comes after Maria, hoping to warn her away from the window, but Maria tells her mother not to say a word about it to her! (Yep.  It’s her life. Let her live it without your stoooopid meddling.)  Santos is sitting  on that photographer’s white horse, singing his serenade.  She puts her robe on and walks out onto the balcony, tears in her eyes.  He gets off the horse and climbs the bower to her balcony.  The song ends and they kiss. (Hey, if that was finally JS’s real voice, then why haven’t they been using it all along????  It’s really decent!)  

Fernando smiles to himself and the others.  “—Just took one song for him to win her back!”  They watch JAntos and Maria kiss.  Jantos swears his love for her is the real thing and explains again how he was knocked out cold when Elvira took those dumb pictures of him kissing her.  Maria says she loves him too and swears that she believes him.  They hug happily and tell each other how much they love each other.  Jantos has her promise him that no matter what happens nothing will ever make her stop loving him.  She swears to it and they kiss and embrace passionately again.

Amores Verdaderos #127 Thu 5/9/13 Nikki Shares her Balls with Roy

Honeymoon Suite: The groom is still annoyed about catching his bride boinking another man, in the barn and in her wedding finery. What did he expect her to do? Honor her vows and save herself for her husband on her wedding night? She wants to explain, but Roy doesn't want to hear any of it. She wants to got out partying with him, but Roy says she smell like vomit. Besides, it will cramp his style if he brings his wife along while he's picking up girls. Roy outright abandons the poor girl on their honeymoon and tells her to order from room service. If the bell boy's smiling when Roy returns, he will have only himself to blame. He leaves Nikki in the room doing her botox cry expression. It's the one where she cries without moving any part of her face.

She didn't quite use those exact words, but I'm paraphasing in order to save time. Adrianna goes on to point out that Vicky has failed at both of her major relatiionships.  Vicky bombed out with Carlos and her marriage to Nelson is a complete failure.  Adrianna believes that if Vicky would tweek parts of her personality, she might be able to make it with Arriaga.

Qué Bonito Amor #18-19 (Mex 26.2-29.1) Thursday 5/9/13 Que Bonito Traicion

Just a quick summary of yesterday:

• Michael got knifed in his cell, but survived.  While he was getting patched up he asked the nurse what it would take for him to be able to use their fancy dental equipment and provide some actual services while he's there. 
• Orange G is going to have the failed knifer whacked.  Why Orange G doesn't get whacked for continuing to do shoddy work is beyond me.  "The Godfather doesn't tolerate…" my ass!
• Maria overheard Concho and Amalia talking about her dad, so now she knows her daddy wasn't the saint Amalia always let her believe. 
• Amalia still hasn't recovered her sight.
• Ruben and JAntos (I'm stealing that…this guy has too many damn names!) get into a fight at the bar and Ruben threatens to call the cops, but Susanito points out that Ruben's wife won't be happy to find out where he's been.    This finally gets JAntos fired from Ay Jalisco.
• Ruben tries to hire some thugs to beat up JAntos, and it's looking pretty grim until Fernando Milamores and Susanito find him and scare the thugs off.
• Amalia found out JAntos paid the rent and though she still thinks he's hiding something, between that and his telling her about his feeeeelings, she's now convinced he's truly in love with Maria.  She blames all the drama on him being a mariachi.
• Milamores' lover, the gangster's wife, wants to leave her husband.  He gave her a black eye and Milamores swears he'll do anything to help her, but what she wants him to do is let her move in with him.

PEAM #44- 5/9/13- Just Another Day At Avon

I had to be creative for this episode because I spent most of the time rolling my eyes at the foolishness.

I am going to recap according to the characters.  Something similar was done by I believe Jardinera for a different telenovela and I loved it.

Vero- the Ice Princess
What is wrong with Marta my therapist?? Why doesn’t she get it?? I love Jesus.  Why he invited me to dinner to profess his love for me and give me illusions of reuniting with him, so that Val, he and I can be a family.  I initially let him go to the US because I didn’t want to stand in his way but I should have told him that I loved him.  How stupid of me!!!  I just can’t stop thinking about the dinner last night and when we embraced, we almost kissed.  (Is that like almost winning the lottery?)

Marta- the therapist
What a job that I have.  I give advice and no one listens and I get paid for this.  Vero- what about your daughter, isn’t that why we have the therapy sessions.  Don’t you think that she needs to be with her Papa Elias???  Your love for Jesus is a very confusing concept to this little girl.  Oh well session over.  Hmm- a phone call from Elias Franco, I’ll take it.  Oh yes, I do owe you a session, come on over.  Let me put on some lipstick and freshen my face for this love, oh no professional session. Elias- think about Valentina, she must be very confused, you raised her. I just love this job!!!!!

Jesus-the secretary, executive, personal assistant.
I was only trying to help my brother man.  I had cooked a delicious, romantic dinner for Elias and Vero, only to have Elias skip out on me with Marisela and when Vero arrives she thinks that the dinner is for us.  I tried to tell Elias the next morning but it fell on sleeping ears and now Elias is beyond pissed with me to say the least.  I told the story to Alma, one of the loves of my life and she understood. So now Cardenas has anxiety about speaking in public and with the new staff morale project he is going to need some help.  Sure, I can help him.  Why is Xochy still annoying me, well let me not hurt her feelings in public, I’ll tell her about the mix up story with Elias.  Why is she reacting like that, she needs to lower her voice.  Meet her mother, why would I want to do that??  Am I really her boyfriend??? I love spending time with my boss, Alma.  She asked me to take her to look at wedding gowns because she couldn’t reach her best friend.  That’s odd.  Anyway, I’ll go to the ends of the Earth with her.  Oh why is she inviting me to her wedding?  I can’t go, I am dying of jealously how can I stand it.  But I can’t let her down; I’ll be there.  What’s taking Patty so long let me walk around?  I’m in the bridal salon, wow, this gown would look amazing on Alma at our wedding.  Wow, there she is in a wedding gown for real.  She looks marvelous.  She is the perfect woman.  I am speechless.  This woman is a goddess.

Alma- the goddess
I am never too busy to listen to Jesus.  What a mixed up story that was.  I have a solution, just tell Vero the truth.  What a wonderful boss Rogue is to make up the employee raffle for a weekend for 2.  That will surely boost morale.  Rogue seems a little agitated.  I wish that there was something that I could do to help Elias with getting his job back.  I wonder why Rogue is so dismissive about it.  Funny, I can’t reach my best friend on her cell and I wanted to try on wedding gowns.  Since I only have 2 friends then I guess that I have to ask my other friend, Jesus.  I just love spending time with him under any pretense.  There are so many lovely gowns to choose from.  Let me try on this one.  I wonder how I look in it?? Let me ask Jesus for his opinion.

Sebastian- FIL
Rogue, you may have to take lessons from me on how to court the ladies.  Do what you must to re light my daughter’s fire because the flames are smoldering.  I am so astute but I am too busy looking at Patty’s short dress and being charmed by her to wonder why did she burst into your office like that.  Oh right, she is helping with the wedding.  Carry on, kids.  Susana, let’s do lunch.  I don’t mind eating in the employee cafeteria, it’s not about the food but it’s about the company.  (Rogue, learn from the pro!)  Susana, do we have to talk about your hubby??   Sorry to hear that he has pulmonary emphazema.

Susana- secretary
Why thank you for the lunch invitation, Sebastian.  I can’t believe that a man of your caliber will eat at the employee cafeteria.  You could eat wherever you want.  My husband isn’t doing too well.  I will ignore everyone looking at us and just enjoy your company.

PEAM #43-5/8/13: Ye Know Not What Me is Capable Of, Yarrrr.... Now That I Got Meself a Boyfriend, Yarrrr!!!



Recap by Pablo.

Nov. 7th. (9:14:53-9:59:01)       ;-)
 
 
After the unappetizing rubbery scrambled eggs that Chatita served him, Elías runs to ask Verónica about last night. As mad as he is because he has found out that Chatita's food pyramid includes fruit, sweet bread, Rompope and eggs and after seeing Verónica all dolled up in high heels before breakfast, is the drop that overflows the glass (it sounds better in spanish), or the straw that broke the camel's back. Specially when she tells him that all this has a reason:
She's broadening her horizons. That can only mean one thing, but Elías is so in love that he doesn't understand (neither the lines nor between them) her and even when she says:

a) is a man FROM THE PAST
b) she has something VERY IMPORTANT IN COMMON WITH HIM
c) somebody she can have a SECOND CHANCE WITH
d) a man who never had to LEAVE HER OR VALENTINA
e) somebody she lied to or hid SOMETHING IMPORTANT from him
f) a man who came from Chicago and IS THE BEST COOK in Monterrey!
g) he can plan important publicity campaigns in a Jiffy.
h) need anymore hints???
OK. Elias is still asking WHO COULD THAT BE??? Tell me, I give up!!
 
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Jessica makes fun of Xóchitl, who ended up a half-pirate, but Alma puts a cork in her mouth, looks like in Avon, after punching in, nobody can say nasty things to each other. Apparently, she ignores all the goings-on while she is always busy as the workaholic she is.
In the cafeteria, the three stooges are licking their lips remembering Yvonne and her table-show and the crickets when Begonia shows up as if by magic and almost tears Gilberto's ear because he was badmouthing her not knowing she was behind him. Bad piggy didn't lose his ear by a hair of his chinny chin chin!
Sebastian woos Susana with a huge flower bouquet, or did he do it only because he needed some pictures of the happy-couple-to-be to frame?
Jesús tries to dump Xóchitl with no success because she now wants to take him to meet her mother.
After Begonia leaves, in a wink of Discua's eyes and a twitching of her nose, the stooges make fun of him being whimpy, and when Marisela talks to Ricardo, things get sour, since there, everybody has a tail to step on (todos tienen cola que les pisen-nobody can throw the first stone).
Cárdenas was about to give Jessica a flower bouquet much smaller than Sebastian's, but the sponsor had paid for a ringing, so the Unefón rang and he had to leave the premises...

Qué Bonito Amor #17 (Mex 25-26.1) Tuesday 5/7/13 Two Charros, a creep and a lady or Can't we all just get along?

Recap by Ellie--
Part I and II are up [Click on Read More].

[I was not home to watch the start of the episode and my DVR did not catch the first few minutes, so my apologies for anything that I might have missed.]

Part I

We start with our main man, Jorge Alfredo, who is looking delicious in pink carrying Amalia who is having a medical emergency down the stairs.  [I'm thinking he should have just called 911, but because no one on this show has any common sense I'm just going to move on.] While all this is going down in Mexico, in Los Angeles the Garza family is having a discussion about Jorge/Santos, Jorge's mother is again pleading with everyone in the room, telling them that she firmly believes her son is innocent. The evil orange lawyer Giuliano is there trying to muddy the waters and insists that Jorge/Santos is not to come back to LA.  Justo, who finally seems to be thinking is not in agreement.  His son should not have to live his life on the run!

Also in Los Angeles poor Mike Johnson is being pressured to "tell the truth" and turn on his friend, but Mike is a stand up guy and refuses to do this.  He stands his ground and tells his attorney that his friend is innocent.  He has never questioned his innocence, furthermore, he has already fired one lawyer who tried to get him to sell his friend out! Viewerville shouts "You go Mike Johnson, you go!" [Side note to the Garza family, give Wendy up for adoption and make Mike a member of your family, he is a real good guy!]

In Mexico, Maria is just getting home when Ruben "Moneybags" pulls up in his shinny black car, he is there to tell her that there's a date set for her job interview.  He does not get to finish his good news because just then Susanito’s mom comes out and informs Maria that her mom is in bad shape and that Jorge has taken her to the clinic! Maria and Paloma both freak out, especially when they realize that no one picked up Isa from school! Ruben offers to drive Maria to the hospital while Paloma picks up Isa.

Paloma (Renata Notni, the actress, is so pretty!) gets to the school where Isa has been lamenting that no one picked her up.  It's almost like she's not part of the family (kid, you have no idea!).  Paloma finally gets there and tries her best to keep calm as she informs Isa that they are not going straight home, today they have to go somewhere else.

While Maria and Jorge are in the hospital, El Coloso and his sidekick are up to no good! Coloso is trying to break into Jorge's room in la pension, when the landlady is distracted by someone’s offer of mole (goodness, I'd get distracted by mole too!).  El Coloso and company run up the stairs, jimmy the door and start looking through Jorge's personal property (for shame!).  By a stroke of good fortune, Fernando arrives just in time to keep Coloso and his minion from opening the envelopes that Jorge was hiding that contain the damning information about who he really is. Doña Prudencia, the pension landlady, walks in on Fernando and the two rats and correctly guesses that they have broken into Jorge's room and threatens to call the popo. Fernando ever the sweet talker, tells her there's no need for that. They had the keys to the room and were just picking up Jorge's outfit. I really wish he had allowed her to call the cops, maybe that would have taught Coloso to behave like a normal human being!

Amores Verdaderos #125 Tue 5/7/13 After a long wait, it finally happens.

Amores Verdaderos Cap 125, 5-7-13—After a long wait, it finally happens.

And I'm not just thinking of Nikki and Guzman. The fight between the Furry Fornicator and Big Angel was a long time coming too!

Lo siento, I'm starting to get behind with my novela watching. It'll be a while before the whole recap is up. Video cap is waiting to be processed. (I still need to watch tonight's episodes of Fernando the Secretary and Jorge the Mariachi Singer . . .)

Caught by Roy the Boy!

A brief summary, to get the discussion rolling. May not be entirely accurate and is not in order. MORE TO COME LATER!

* Nikki has a hot wedding night, just not with her husband. Guzman, our Little Ape, is the lucky recipient of her favors. A glow filter is used liberally during the love scenes. Undoubtedly Univision edited the scene heavily, but I haven't seen the unedited version so I can't verify. Nikki tells the Little Ape that she loves him, much to his joy.

* Salsa Dude comes to the rescue. A lawyer is going to try to get Beatriz out on bail. She is beside herself with dispair when she finds out that Leo the Low has taken little Guillo. Guillo calls for his mother as he sleeps in Leo the Low's hideout.

* Big Angel confronts Kendra-Ho and wants her to fess up about being the baby-momma of the Furry Fornicator's pending offspring. He doesn't want Vicki to be left in the dark about what's going on (like she was for too long about the FF's infidelity).

* During post-coital bliss, Nikki tells the Little Ape that this is goodbye, she's gotta do what she's gotta do, i.e. loveless marriage to Roy the Boy. What. Ever. We all know, via Telenovela Law, that the Little Ape has probably planted the seeds of a Baby Little Ape in her womb (not a spoiler, just my guess). So we know this is all just a tactic to stretch out this storyline for an extra 20 episodes or so. The Little Ape tries to get Nikki to tell him what exactly did Kendra-Ho say about him to convince her (Nikki) that he was such a scoundrel? Nikki thought-bubbles about the fake gigolo web page, but given that we need to stretch this show out for 20 episodes, heaven forbid Nikki just TELL the Little Ape specifically what evidence Kendra-Ho had against him. Because had she done that, we would have cleared a lot of this B.S. up, and we can't have that, can we?

* Roy the Boy discovers our couple in an embrace, half-dressed. He is outraged and demands that Nikki go with him now. The Little Ape begs Nikki to stick with him. Roy the Boy's threats of embarrassment (let's let grandpa know) prompts Nikki to tearfully go with Roy the Boy, much to The Little Ape's sad dispair.

* The Furry Fornicator sees Big Angel leave the Kendra-Ho's room, gets all up in Big Angel's face about it, says he doesn't want Big Angel near the Ho OR Vicki! This leads to a tussle between these two men, started by the FF who tries to cold cock the Big Angel. Not a good move, since Big Angel KICKS HIS ASS. AWESOME. Oh, it was a thing of beauty. Screenshots to follow. Right after the altercation, Big Angel apologizes to a sputtering, red-faced FF for losing it.

* The Little Ape laments to Big Angel later about his woes. "Nikki told me she loved me!" he cries. "I would do anything—anything—to have her with me!" he declares. Big Angel commiserates. Big Angel alludes to his relationship with Vicki, and his efforts to not lose control. By "control" he means not beating the crap out of the FF. The Little Ape was clearly thinking of another kind of "control," like the kind of control he and Nikki finally lost that very night.

* Roy the Boy insists that Nikki leave with him ASAP. They leave in the middle of the night. Nikki leaves a note with her mom. The next morning, the Little Ape is upset because he was supposed to escort her to the airport.

* Lily spies Roy the Boy and Nikki departing in the middle of the night. Lily has tears in her eyes.

* At the airport, Roy the Boy and his blushing bride are waiting at a diner somewhere. Roy the Boy castigates Nikki for being an unfaithful slut and trash talks her. WHAT. A. DOUCHE. End of episode.

AVANCES: Look interesting. They make it look like the Ho will finally confess having the Furry Fornicator's bun in her oven. MUST SEE TV!

PEAM, Tuesday 5/7/13 (#42): Tomorrow is another day. Another stupid one.

Vero's face looms ever closer to Chucho's. He doesn't push her away, but he doesn't lean forward, either. He seems paralyzed with reluctance: he can't afford to let her do this, but he can't afford not to, either.

Only his eyelids flicker, blinking furiously, perhaps signalling SOS or some other distress message:

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY. THIS IS JESUS GARCIA. MAYDAY, THIS IS JESUS GARCIA AT CHATITA'S CHRISTMAS TREE. OSCULATION IMMINENT. REPEAT, OSCULATION IMMINENT. DOZENS OF HOPES ALREADY SINKING. REQUEST ANY AID POSSIBLE. LOOK FOR MAN IN SUIT WITH ALBATROSS, ER, WOMAN, HANGING AROUND HIS NECK. OVER.

Amores Verdaderos #124 Mon 5/6/13 The loser husbands talk too much... Sad new bride drinks (vs eats) away her blues, then rolls in hay with beloved... Guillo needs a new dad.

We rejoin the ‘not-so-happy-ever-after couple’ in the middle of the dance floor dancing to the Nikki-Gorilita theme song… For some reason the groom leaves the bride alone right in the middle of the dance floor in the middle of the song… (did he have to make another call to Liliana or sing his own blues to his trainer again?) Nikki turns and finds herself lasered to Gorilita’s eyes, who seem to be full of pain. She begins to walk toward him and slowly change from dragged out look to smiling… but just when she is about to reach Gorilita, the groom from doom comes back and steps in between them and walks her away. Our Gorilita looks like he really needs a hug from someone… (anyone! Tomasina! Polita! JM!!)


Paula has called Felipe nervous, she can’t locate Bea or Guillo. Felipe has not heard of them either. Have called her cell phone but got voice mail. This is not her, Guillo goes to sleep early, she never takes this long to come home.

In jail, we have some of the other women felons bothering Bea and end up taking her sweater and shoes. She tells them why she is there, accused of theft, and that what worries her is her son who was taken to a holding place. They remind/tell her she has the right to make one phone call. The women make enough noise at the cell door to get the guard to come over. She needs to make a call! The guard says you will have to wait until the change of shift. Can tell the women are fond of Bea, or at least are giving her the benefit of the doubt and feel for her situation with Guillo.

OMG!!! How low can Leo go?? Guillo asks where going. It’s a surprise. Guillo does not want to leave mom behind. Leo says me either (Liar!!) Leo tells Guillo that Bea is in jail and that she is telling the cops that Guillo was the one that put the necklace in her purse and now the police are looking for him!! Guillo denies it. Leo says Bea is saying that so they will let her go. (Leo’s mom signals to Leo that she does not agree with all the craplies he is filling Guillo’s head with) Have to go far away so the cops won’t find you. Grandma can only reassure Guillo that everything will be alright.

Gorilita finds Not-so-happy bride drinking alone in living room. She jokes about him trying to find out if she is eating her blues. Not really. ‘Tu cool y yo fresh!’ (LOL!) Cheers! Toasting alone to my happiness. Gorilita tells her from here on I won’t be on you for anything. From here on out its your husband’s duty to watch out for you. She says he is a tennis player, not a bodyguard. He says that is your problem. He came to say goodbye. He approaches her and caresses the side of her face (OMG, her braided hair and her flower head piece are to die for! So lovely on her!!) He is about to kiss her but pulls back. She says don’t stop. It’s the last time we’ll be together like this. With a very pained face and tone, he says I wish you well. Teary eyed she thanks him. He walks away totally devastated as Anyballs, Nil-Brains and Vicky arrive. They came to congratulate her on her ‘choice’. She thanks Anyballs for the wedding. It was ‘del top’. Nil-Brains does not want to see tears. This should be the happiest day of your life. Suddenly Polita comes to tell them the guests are waiting to say goodbye. Nil-Brains heads over there to deal with them. Anyballs hawls Nikki away for a walk. Vicky tells Gorilita that she knows all this has been so hard on him. She says maybe Angel should watch Nikki from here on. Gorilita says no need. I will see her to the airport. Vicky repeats to Gorilita that she would have wanted for him to be her son in law.. (awwwww!!) Vicky leaves with Angel… So sad Gorilita walks over to table and holds the glass Nikki was drinking from.

Felipe and Paula still making a hole in the carpet pacing around… She mentions that Bea told her on phone that Leo had left an envelope with the guard at door. Phone rings. It is Bea with the bad news: 1. I am detained at police, 2. They took Guillo to a safe house, 3. Please call Santino, sure he can help. Paula and Felipe will go get Guillo right now. Bea is so worried about him, must be really scared.

Back to B house garden, Vicky tells Angel that last night she barely slept, she was caressing Nikki’s hair. Angel guesses right, that it was a way to say goodbye. She confirms. From today on, she stops being my dear child to be Roy’s wife. Angel says and it is worse knowing she is going overseas. Vicky says her biggest wish is that Nikki will be happy. You know, my marriage was a failure. The only good thing I got from there was my daughter. Don’t want my daughter to go through same. Vicky shows Angel a text message she got on her cell phone. ‘Congrats, your husband will be a daddy!’ who could have sent this? Vicky is appaled that Nil-Brains not only has a mistress, but he got her pregnant!! (just like if called with the mind, Nil-Brains comes to them) Of course NB approaches with insults about the ‘lovers needing intimacy’ (Angel gets on NB’s face but Vicky pleads him not to take the next step). NB tells Vicky she should give in to Nikki marrying Roy, and tells Angel that Vicky would have wanted for Nikki to cancel her wedding 5 minutes before time, just like she never had the guts to do back then. I am sure she has told you her romantic story. Vicky has had enough.

V: Speaking of romantic stories, why didn’t you tell me your mistress is expecting your child?? (showing him the phone with the text message, taking him totally aback)

Of course NilBrains denies denies. Can’t believe in an anonymous, must be a bad taste prank. NilBrains mentions the video that he had about her and Angel that someone stole. And she had denied denied it.

V: Nil-Son, this is the drop that overflowed the cup! I demand the divorce!!

Nil-Brains claims that if the day comes that HE wants to split from her, it will be on HIS terms.

Vicky leaves in a huff and of course NilBrains questions Angel if he sent her the text message. Angel very firmly says no. He would be incapable of causing her that pain. NilBrains calls him a coward. Angel says no I am no coward. Why don’t you ask KenDrat? Maybe she knows what you are talking about. Don’t you think? (that leaves Nil-Brains thinking and worried)

We find the not-so-happy-groom whinning his blues to Omar, his friend. RoyFoyToy says his wedding day seems like a funeral. Then he spots Liliana and Polita sitting in front of him. Liliana starts to walk away, but he calls her to stay, have to talk to you, Everything I have told you is true, I love you. Never felt for anyone else what I feel for you. Liliana can’t believe him. Liar! Leave me alone and go care for your wife!! He pleads with her that his marriage is a farse. Things could have been so different! I had a commitment by the time I met you! My parents pressured me with their financial problems! Liliana can only get that he is an ambitious money-hungry brat. A sell-out! Don’t look for me again! Liliana walks away and Polita also gives him a piece of her mind.

A very angry Nil-Brains goes to KenDrat’s room and nags at her, did you dare send Vicky that text message?? (KD is shocked, or is she faking it? We know better) She denies denies. Why would do it if you will marry me?? Nil-Brains says Vicky can’t relate him to KenDrat’s pregnancy!! KenDrat plays innocent victim again. What if it was Arriaga?? He is very astute. He is the only one that would gain if Vicky divorced you. Remember he is a widower. Marrying Vicky would be that ranchero’s golden dream come true! He also got you and I fighting! NilBrains shows the few brain cells, he apologizes and walks out. She follows him out and they make the mistake of continuing that conversation holding hands outside her room. Anyballs watches them argue holding hands. Not sure if he is hearing KD ask Nil-Brains to make Vicky for his having put up with her so many years. (How old is NilBrains again?? 7? 8?)

Outside, Angel is telling Dances that he has the duty to guard Vicky’s safety but also her state of mind. And this anonymous message made her very tense and worried. Dances says they both know who sent it. KenDrat is dying for Nil-Brains to divorce and marry her! Dances gets the cell phone call from Paula. He gets worried, he will deal with that right now. He tells Angel what happened to Bea. Angel wants to tell Guzman. Dances says Guzman is not in the mood for more bad news. Angel agrees. Dances will take care of this. What matters is to find out what happened and to get Bea free asap. Angel will stay and deal with the security. Angel comes up with the obvious conclusion. It was Leo. Dances says if Leo the imbecil canalla is responsible for Bea being in jail, he will kill him.


Nikki’s friends, who are totally wasted, come to Nikki and Roy who are just sitting around sad… RoyToy sends the girls home with Omar his friend. The guests say goodbye. They are left alone. Roy says ‘what a couple we are’. Nikki reminds him before the wedding they confessed they are not in love. Roy asks her why did you marry me? Don’t know, guess I wanted to escape. Roy can guess who from. She asks why did he marry her? He says it seemed the thing to do. Mother says love comes with time. Guess she is right. Lets toast for love to come. (they might as well be toasting to doomsday). He says he is heading to bed. She jokes about him missing his pj’s and slippers. He jokes about her tube/tanks and face full of cream. (after all these two had a reason to smile…)… he walks away deflated. She grabs the bottle and walks away. (with the sad piano/cello music) She looks so unhappy with a face full of tears sitting on the dance floor all alone.

Dances asks Nil-Son to let him leave. Nil-Son denies firmly. I said no. NilSon walks away. Dances talks through teeth.. darn! I will make you pay for this one, NilBrains!.

Outside, Angel is giving Zambrano instructions on how he wants the cars set up. Zambrano leaves. Angel sits on floor tired. Vicky comes by. Tells Angel that her daughter could have changed her mind 5 minutes before, but she did not. Angel says she did not have the guts. Vicky says no, but she had me there to back her up. In my case, I had no one. Angel asks her if she ever saw Carlos again. Did you ever look for him? No. I suppose Carlos never forgave my lack of valour. (aw, this has ‘CARLOS SHOWS UP’ written all over it!) They get talking about the head wanting one thing and the heart another… They are standing face to face… but hands are down.

Anyballs asks Dances about the relationship between Nil-Son and KenDrat. Dances spills the beans, even that KenDrat’s baby is NilBrains child. Dances leaves.. Anyballs whispers… Nilson Brizz…

Paula and Felipe arrive at the children holding place… They wake up the woman in charge, she is nice to them given the fact that it is middle of night. She tells them that Guillo’s dad came to pick him up.

Somewhere on the road Leo stops the car. His mother is nagging at him for filling Guillo’s head with lies about his mother. Leo says it was because Guillo was crying for his ‘madrecita santa’ all the way out. His mom asks aren’t you afraid of what will happen when the truth comes out and Bea accuses him? Leo says these ‘vacations in the jail will be great for Bea, she will come back to me ‘mansita’ (tame,softened).

Bea in jail crying praying that this nightmare will end soon and calling Dances to come help her get out.

Vicky tells Angel he is lucky. In his dark moments he can count on his friend Opalina. Angel says she has always been right in her predictions, except one. She told him he would have a son. And that did not come true. Vicky says maybe in the future you will marry a young woman, marry and have children. Angel is finding it hard to picture that. For him, falling in love is not to replace anyone. But that the heart will have a spot in the other that no one else has been able to fill. And that is what you have done with me. You have taken a spot in my heart and in my life (caresses her face).

Nikki goes to the stables to say goodbye to her horse, she came to say goodbye, she will go far away for a long time. She won’t be with her family… nor with my… nor with Guzmancito. (Guzman comes over) Are you going to be able to live without me? Because I know that not having you I won’t even be able to breathe. I gave my heart to you and even felt that yours felt the same. That is how I now feel as if I am in jail where there is only the pain of not having the woman I love. Losing you is so painful. You can’t imagine what it is like to give up on the love you gambled everything on. (she embraces him and caresses his hair).

NilSon has been summoned by Anyballs. He goes directly to the point about KenDrat and her baby. NilBrains keeps denying. Anyballs won’t argue, just wanted to warn you… if you talk about my daughter, I will force KenDrat to take a DNA test to prove that bastard baby is yours. That will nail you in a divorce proceeding, you will end up poorer than a rat, so think about it before you spill the beans… (having delivered the message, Anyballs leaves quietly, leaving NilBrains deep in thought)

Vicky tells Angel that she was very moved by what he told her. And that he holds a unique spot in her heart, a place no one will fill. Angel says at least we have that consolation. Noone else knows how we feel. At least we were able to contain this lov… this feeling, which is so strong, we could have hurt others. Vicky reminds him that he asked her that they not talk about this (when he came back) He says she brought up the subject when she asked him about Opalina. He feels at ease because he is sure he will never have a son and will never again be in a relationship. She agrees. She is so tired, she doesn’t know she will have the courage to move forward. Angel says she is strong, she has to move on. Vicky keeps talking about the text message. How will I tell Nikki? She has enough worries with her new life. Vicky feels hurt, betrayed. She shared 25 yrs with that man. Good thing you have never been betrayed. Vicky wonders how many people know who is NilBrains’ lover and don’t tell me! In these cases the wife is the last one to find out!!

Back to the stables, she and Gorilita are sitting side by side on hay. Nikki wonders aloud why did so many things have to happen to split us. And there is no shield to protect one against it. He holds her hand gently and kisses it. Nikki talks about buying a GPS that will take them into outer space to go on, but obviously, each one in their own way. He embraces her

Fr: Even if you go far away, I will never forget you. I will not be able to love anyone the way I love you. I will never be able to give my heart away again because it is yours. Your love ripped it from my chest. And now it is not mine, but yours.

N: (sits back up) I am afraid, Frankie. I want to paint my world in water colors and lock myself in it because I don’t know what is awaiting me. I don’t want to leave before I tell you that I am glad you came into my life because thanks to you I knew love. I wish that you will have the life you dreamed about you and me. I wish you to be very happy.

Fr: I can only be happy with you. (stands up sad) because you will take my heart away when you leave.

She takes Roy’s jacket off and stands and walks to him… ok it goes from a sweek kiss to a more heated smooch… suddenly her lace bolero disappears and they are embracing closer, kissing gets hotter, he gets behind her and unzips her dress… kisses her shoulder/neck…

Previews:

Gorilita and Nikki do (or almost do) the deed… Roy comes to stop the fun.

Elsewhere in the house, apparently in Vicky’s room, NilSon and KenDrat are also getting steamy…

But apparently Angel is the one that breaks that ‘magic’ moment shouting that if NilSon keeps disrespecting his wife he will have to deal with Angel. They struggle and Angel slams him to the wall.

PEAM #41, 05/06/2013 - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? No, No, It's Not Sidney

I haven't had time to visit this blog for a few days.  I was conducting two photo exhibits this past weekend so thought I would share the photo that seems to be the favored one this season. These are Los Hermanos de Pura Raza Española, who live in southern France where I met them last autumn.




Refrito; Alma looks sadly at her only picture she has of her brother and her. She blames herself for her brother's death.  Her father tries to comfort her and take the blame for the death on himself.

Elias and the yellow footed Mari get out of his car laughing, the sillies pull up to the same bar and also turn the old car over to the parking attendant.  Elias and Mari are scooting in past a waiting bevy of beauties.  The personnel manager gets a phone calls from his obstreperous mammie or fight over who has the entry fee into the club. For some reason the suited sillies get in past the young hopefuls.

Papi tries to tell Alma that her Rogie is a great man, Alma says yes but Papa is going to tell her something completely honest that no one else knows.  Since he had his infarct and heart transplant three years ago he has changed and he is completely in love with Susana from the Avon office.  She came to see him often while he was in the hospital in recuperation. He expresses worry over the affection Alma obviously has for Jesús Garcia that is making Rogie so jealous. Papa asks if she is evaluating her choice of Rogie and her reasons for marrying him if she isn't sure of her love. He wonders if she feels something for Jesús.  She admits that she does feel something.

Said IRON Chef is preparing the romantic meal and explaining to Chatita that he is planning this to reconcile Veronica and Elias. This will go so well obviously.
