Qué Bonito Amor #36 (Mex 53.2-54) Monday 6/3/13
Capitulo
53, Part 2: Mothers On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Mendoza
Apartment: Almira notices Maria is wearing a man's shirt and
demands to know where she was all night. She jumps to the conclusion
that Maria was boinking Jorge Alfredo, but Maria tells her what
happened. She starts to freak, but Maria manages that well. Almira
still goes on about how Jorge Alfredo will hurt Maria [who must be
as tired of hearing that as we are]. Maria finally tells her she
resigned from the bar; Almira es impactada.
Dawn
over the rolling waves [so are we now heading to El Lay?]
Reyes
Apartment [not yet, I guess]: It looks like
Rodrigo got a haircut since the night before (and it does not flatter
him). Gloria hugs him and tries to reassure him as Jorge Alfredo
watches. She seems to know all that happened the night before.
Rodrigo exits the room. Gloria thanks Jorge Alfredo, telling him she
was worried about Oscar's reaction to the news.

PEAM #61 06/03/13 - The Dark Days After Christmas Aren't All About Discount Sales
Rogue is being solicitous of Susana, did her husband die while I was away? Probably not, he wants to know if either Alma or Fernando are in. Susana tells him that Fernie is in a foul mood. Rogue shrugs and says what else is new? But Rogue heads towards Fernando's office and here comes Panfilo. He pretends to shake hands and be a stranger to Maricela who is very reluctantly polite, Xochi thinks he is so friendly. Fernando isn't being the least bit friendly to Rogie, Fernando claims he ruined his life, Descua left him forever, Rogue claims to have done it for his own good. Descua was rendering him mindless without liberty and he only wants him to be free. Fernando says he is ruined, but Rogue counters with sincere confusion of how he could be ruined over feelings for a mere "woman??" Fernando bemoans the light of his life has gone forever, maybe he has a brain cell left as he explains that he had something of his own for once and now he has nothing including he doesn't have the will to live any longer.
Paty has nothing either but continues to pretend that perhaps Chucho is bringing more than hot coffee to her. He asks her if she knows why Alma is so bitter (enpeñada). For stubbornness (terka) Paty responds. Alma always wants to follow her plans exactly even when they don't make her happy. Paty wants to rub her uhhhh, ego against him a bit more but he excuses himself and seems to have learned to turn around and step away while he is delivering his good byes. Paty, licks her lovely lips at this interest of Chucho's in Alma's state of mind.
Fernando let's Rogie know that since Rog ruined his chance at happiness he has a mind to tell Alma all about Patycake and Jessica, the whips, the affairs, the film. We see Rogue's eyes grow wide in fear but Fernie assures Rogie he isn't going to sink to this filth (porquería) and bids him a final Adios!!

Salsero is in with Betty and Betty wants to know about the low one, did the cops get him? Salsero tells her he's dead, the cops shot him during the shoot out, he'll never hurt her again. She looks relieved but wants to know where Guillo is, he must be with his Abue. Salsero tells her that the low one took him to the country and that Abue doesn't have him, he ran away. The cops are looking for him now. Betty is really upset cause they looked for poor Guillo for four months already and never found him. Now he is all alone and noone to care for him. Salsero wants her to be calm. Meantime, out in the waiting area, Felipe and Pau want to know if Betty knows about the low one being dead and that Guillo is missing. Guzmancito is sure that Salsero told her. They hope Betty takes this well cause if not she could lose, and Felipe cuts Pau off and they are going to the chapel to pray.

While Irasema and Susanito are
enjoying a passionate lip-lock at the end of the song (a difficult tempo and
melody which Sr. Biaggio has nailed superlatively well) Fernando de los mil
amores is hiding inside Roxana’s bedroom closet desperately trying to control
his sphincter. Regino and his two
gorillas race in, look out the window, and decide nothing more to do and--we
assume--they leave the way they came.
This apparently has given Fer a pass to jump out the window himself cuz
we see him a couple minutes later walking merrily down the street and taking a
cell call from another of his lovers.
Meanwhile, Lt. Curtis and BFF Gala
are still spying on Com. Derecho and his dinner companion whom she still assumes
to be his latest snatch from across the room.
Well, we all know how “assume” breaks down: it makes an ass of u and an ass of Lt. Curtis,
who races over to the comandante’s table and before he can introduce his
daughter to her, starts hassling him over him being there with his lover. Date Carolina gets all smoochie-face and
cuddly with him and smiles mischievously over at Curtis. “—Who wouldn’t want to be this attractive
man’s lover?” Wink,
smile. Derecho looks at Curtis. “—Hello,
darling little one.” Curtis
fights back her tears. (Huh? Is this poor direction or was something lost
in translation? Who’d he call
Darling? Curtis or Caroline? Truly I do not want to review this FF worthy
relationship/conversation again.)
At JNTR Bar, sly bastardo de Rubin
eavesdrops on Rigoberto and JAntos discuss how he’s grown as a human being,
jumping from trucker, to mechanic, to one fine mariachi singer, and then to
someone who has learned to love. JAntos
allows it’s all due to his guardian angel, Maria. All the more reason to fess up to her,
advises Rigoberto. He’d like to tell her
the whole truth, but he’s afraid of losing her.
That’s Ruben’s cue to jump in and admit he’s got his nose out of joint
sticking it where it doesn’t belong. “—Ahah!
I knew you were hiding
something and can’t be trusted! What is
it you’re hiding?!?!?” JAntos suffers a
nano-moment of indecision before going into defensive attack mode.
Curtis loses it and starts attacking
Carolina. “—Don’t you provoke me, little
girl!” Com. Derecho tries to explain but
can’t get a word in edgewise. “You’re a
common slut and this man deserves the best of the best!” He tells Curtis to behave but Caro says let
her continue. Lt.
Curtis is confounded. “--Say what?” “--He’s
my papi perfecto!” Curtis looks
for the nearest crack in the floor to curl up into.
Back
at the JNTR, we enjoy a Mutt’nJeff moment as Rigoberto gets up to face off
with Ruben over sticking his out-of-joint nose into places it has not been
invited.

Corazón Indomable #15, 5/31/13: Maricruz Does NOT Listen to the Advice of Her Theme Song
RECAP BY CECE
The Short
Tav has not yet recovered his bout of galanitis.
Lucia still hates MC.
The Voice is still determined to find his daughter
MC is putting up a front but deep down inside she still loves
HER Octavio. She will do ANYTHING to keep him from leaving.
And the Looongg
MC is showing off her new riding skills in front of Tav and
hottie Eduardo. Tav is worried about MC hurting herself so he chases after her.
Tav introduces the two and Eduardo comments on MC beauty and excellent riding
skills. MC is all like “yea I know” (love this newfound confidence and
attitude). Tav wants to know why MC took the horse when he would have given it
to her if she just asked. Topic moves to Tav who gets shut down once more when
MC firmly states that he is no longer important to her. Eduardo says of course
this conceited -----and MC cuts him saying she’s the only one who can diss her
man (Lol!). After expressing how much she does not care about Tav and how
he can leave tomorrow for all she cares, she sassily exits back to her hut.
Eduardo tells Tav that obviously MC does not care about him and he should move
on. Tav just stares in confusion at MC’s new attitude, he believes she is
pretending (because obviously women do not just get over him that quickly….
Maybe Eduardo was right).

TELEMUNDO Y MAS - week of June 3
Weekend Discussion: An open letter from your fans; Televisa, you need our help.
High-definition
TV probably sounded like the greatest thing in the world … until we
realized that many of our favorite actors and actresses are aging
past the age your writers usually assign to protagonists. There does
not seem to be an easy transition for a still-handsome and still-fit
actor to go from the almost-innocent young Romeo to the worldly-wise
Prospero because there are almost no lead roles in between those two.
Actors like Fernando Colunga and Jorge Salinas are continually cast
as characters younger than themselves in remake after remake of older
stories without adequate story adjustment for their stage of maturity
and we think they deserve better. While telenovelas have much in
common with opera, there are a few casting limitations that Placido
Domingo never had to deal with.
People in
their forties and fifties still fall in love, can still leave
unsatisfying careers and start over, still move to distant places.
Women in their forties can still have babies and men in their fifties
can still become fathers (not that this is necessarily recommended).
These things were not all that relevant back when the network was
born, but they are now and will continue to be.

Amores Verdaderos #142 Thu 5/30/13 The Low One Kicks the Bucket, and Jhoannn Is So Busted
* Lo refrito: Victoria is comforting her baby girl.
* Lo nuevo: in the morning Vicky informs Adriana about Nikki and Roy, and she asks Adri to support her niece. Of course, says Adri, but now please tell her about what happened between her and Carlos. He kissed me, answers Vicky, just in the moment when the Angel enters the room. Arriaga pulls his trademark sad look, and tells the ladies that the car is ready. Vicky looks very uncomfortable, but since she's fed up with the Angel's guilt, she decides that she won't give a damn. When Arriaga leaves the room, Adri starts gushing about the great Joan Constantín whom she'll meet in the afternoon: at last they'll sign her contract! The happy Jhoannn-fangirl tightly hugs Nikki, who just entered the dining room. They are adorable.

Qué Bonito Amor #34 (Mex 50.2-51) Thursday 5/30/13 Que Bonitos Esmoochies!
I did not remember to set the DVR to catch the 5 minutes before the show's official start, so if anything important happened during that time, someone please fill us in. Gracias!
Gloria is annoyed that Colosso chewed out Rodrigo for refusing to escort Paloma. Rodrigo was thinking about getting a job to buy her a present so maybe she'll forgive him. Gloria's cool with that, and she's sure it will work. He wonders if Gloria found the person she was looking for and she admits that she did--his father.
Elvira comes to show off her new drenched look to Colosso. She vows revenge. Colosso doesn't want to hear a negative word about Maria out of her mouth, and he doesn't want Maria being hurt, either. He tells Elvira to go back from whence she came.
Rodrigo has no desire whatsoever to meet his dad. Gloria tells him that his father never knew about him. Rodrigo wants to know who it is and Gloria tells him it's Colosso.
The man himself hangs out with his rooster at the dining table. To clarify, the Rooster is perched on a chair and not being served on a platter. Colosso ponders the existence of his child and asks the rooster what he thinks about all this.
Rodrigo takes his anger out on the cymbals and says if his dad doesn't want anything to do with them, then they ought to go home. He doesn't understand what the big deal is about her needing to find him just now. Gloria poetically declares her love. "Then why do you want me to stay with him?" Gloria tells him the truth--"I'm really sick. I don't want you to suffer. I love you and I don't want you to see me dying." That just freaks him out, but he'd rather not leave her, in that case!

Corazon Indomable #14 5-30-13 Octavio Makes a Decision, Eduardo Makes an Appearance and MariCruz Makes a Statement
Some scenes are combined
.
From last time
We revisit Octavio and MariCruz at the shack following Miguel’s cruel words. She’s shouting and accusing him, saying she doesn’t want to see him, he’s a liar who doesn’t love her and never did, she means nothing to him. He should just leave! He gives up, says he’s leaving, and walks out the door. A disconsolate MC is left with her grandpa Ramiro for comfort.
At the ranch, Jose Antonio explains to the country club set that MC jumped in the river and almost drowned. They agree to send food, brandy and medicine to the hut, while Miguel says he will call the doctor. Of course, Lucia discourages these efforts.

The end of a long, no good, very bad day
Ewwsebio and Awfelia are on the road in the jeep, arguing as they go. She accuses him of cheating on her with Solita; he informs her that “the mute” is attractive and younger. Viewerville cackles at Awfe’s discomfort. In the ranch kitchen, Maria and Santa chat and work. Maria explains that Ramiro made her a basket and she is embroidering him a gift in return. The bright flowers and large monogrammed “R” are sure to enhance the hut’s décor. Sly hints of romance to come and singing finish the scene.
Octavio walks up driveway in the twilight, musing over his dilemma. Maybe this is his chance to leave and he’ll take it, but he won’t abandon MC without protection. Miguel is pacing in the salon, bemoaning another scandal and asking Lucia what MC did to provoke such hatred?

PEAM # 59- 5/30/13- On Christmas Eve- My True Love Gave to Me- Seven TV Novelas, Four Facial Expressions, One Romantic Letter and Thought Bubbles of You Kissing Me.
Good evening,
It feels like July in the northeast, so welcome to Christmas
in July.
The 3 Stupids do a stupid Merry Christmas dance. It reminds
me of the Three Stooges. Jesus
gives Alma a guardian angel that he made from origami. She must never forget that she is his
guardian angel. Jesus is just a jack-of-all-trades.
Jesus will spend Christmas Eve at the Ice Castle and Alma will stay with her
dad at the hospital. They exchange
a loving Christmas hug.
We get to see holiday scenery and hear Christmas songs; it’s
a nice touch.
Jesus has a giant gift box from Alma. He thought bubbles back to his hug after
giving Alma her gift. Wow!!! She gave him a microwave. It will warm everything up in the
house.
More Christmas scenery and songs.
At Chatita’s newly furnished apartment thanks to a credit
card. She got a refrigerator,
stove, table, chairs, couch, etc.
Why didn’t she get a flat screen TV? Just saying??? And she can pay monthly without interest. (All that- how many months are we
talking about??) It seemed like some type of advertisement for a particular store
because certain parts were bleeped out. Panfilo would have loved to come with her but he is sure that
he wouldn’t get credit. Chatita
tells him to get healthy first, and the rest will come. Panfilo and Marisela
will celebrate Christmas Eve there.
A plate goes by and it doesn’t look like Chatita is serving meatloaf.
At The Cardenas, excuse me- Oliverio"s, we meet his mother
who seems quite elegant, classy and looks younger than her son. After dinner he
is going to introduce Jessica to his girlfriends. Hmmmm!!!

CI #13: Poor Maricruz, when it rains it pours
RECAP BY ELI
We start tonight's episode where we left off last night,
Maricruz has come to ask Lucia for forgiveness, she promises to be good and to
change her ways, she just wants to be with her husband, she does not care if
Lucia treats her poorly or calls her names she will put up with it all just for
the chance to be with her hubby. Lucia being the evil wench that she is refuses
to accept her apology and informs Maricruz that not only will she never be
allowed back into the house, she will also be buying big dogs that will prevent
her from coming on the grounds, poor Mari cries and begs her not to do that,
all she wants is to stay there until Octavio builds them a little house, Lucia
mocks her for thinking that he will build a home for them and again tells her
to leave, like now! Mari does but before doing so tells the vipers, I mean
women, that they have dark souls and that someday God will make them pay for
the way they are behaving, the only one that seems to be a little bit worried
about this is Simona, hey maybe she has a heart (I almost cried when I saw poor
Mari crying and telling the snakes that someday she would have her little
house)
Elsewhere we see Solita being stalked by god awful Eusebio,
the poor girl can't even get a basic chore done without this pig stalking her!
Eusebio pounces on her and pushes her to the ground, getting ready to attack
her again, thankfully two women come upon the scene and get him to leave her
alone, Solita runs and hides as Eusebio fights with the women and threatens to
kill them if they say anything about what they saw. I hope I'm not the only one
that thinks it's cruel for this poor girl to be abused by someone and not be
able to protect herself because she can't hear him coming and having to suffer
in silence, it's just so heart breaking!

--Guillo is missing
--Paula is dying
--Beatriz is -- what? -- 6 months pregnant
Vikki is understandably disconcerted after Carlos's weird, face-smashing display. She turns down his offer of a ride home. Carlos is not discouraged. On the contrary, Vikki seems to have passed his test and he's more determined than ever to win her heart.
Meanwhile Nelson Brizz complains about Kendra's constant nagging. Salsero, who takes his pleasure where he can find it, tells his boss how to avoid another Kendra: he'd better lay down the law (leerle la cartilla) to Nabila; or better yet -- get a vasectomy.

I am glad Malvino had change in his pocket so he could call Rogelio on the payphone. He regretted forgetting his Unefón in the warehouse, 75 centavos beat 2 whole pesos per minute, doesn't it? Anyway, if it was bad for him and his wallet, the news were much worse for Rogelio and his safe, since he was losing alotta dough there... If you are a money launderer, isn't it easier and safer to control your dirty money yourself than have other people keeping it and giving you little amounts every time you ask for it? Just asking... One must always try to avoid the middlemen...
After all, Avon isn't L'oreal and doesn't have the 365 shades of True Match foundation.
Alma insists that Jesús attend her dream wedding and he insists in saying he doesn't see the point. As the plane takes off in a few minutes, Alma needs to be sure he is going to Acapulco to convince herself that she is actually marrying Rogelio, you know, the closer she is to Jesús the more convinced she gets and the more time she spends with Jesús, the more convinced she is she loves Rogelio. Someone told me women seemed weird because they were from Venus and their brain worked different than men's and they communicate in spirals, not straightforward, but I am sure Alma is from another planet.... Uranus, maybe?
Well, during that pulling and pushing Rogelio interrupts such an important debate to tell Alma he has to go out because something really big has come up. Of course he doesn't say what or how much money is in jeopardy, and that leaves her even more confused... Not to worry. Jesús is there, and we all know what that means, she loves Rogelio!!

CI Cap 12 : Separation Anxiety Redux
capítulo 12
So
Octavio’s gone to Ramiro’s hut to force the truth out of Maricruz. “—Why did you hit Lucia?” Maricruz doesn’t exactly say it was because Lucia
damned well was asking for it and had been for the last few weeks; or, that if
she’d only been about a foot taller she’d have managed to land a good one
smack-dab on that snooty puss’s crabby kisser! Maricruz does throw Viewerville a bit of red
meat however answering self-righteously that it was because Lucia was spouting
off about how it must have been Tav who shot Jose Antonio out of jealously! “—Well now because of that you can’t come
back to the ranch!” Is it because he
doesn’t love her? No, it’s because she
tried to resolve things through aggression.
(Ok. But I don’t think Maricruz
is quite ready to grasp the concept of ‘conflict resolution’. Something tells me she wouldn’t exactly be a big believer.) Anyway, she’s stuck with Gramps while he
figures out where in the friggin’ hell he can take her and put her. He sure as shootin’ isn’t going to live in
the hut with them! (Oh?? Why not?) “--We’re married….Please just lock me in our room all day, but do-o-o-o-o-n’t
abandon me-e-e-e-e!” She clings like Saran Wrap. Tav looks… trapped.
In Lucia’s
room, Ester and Lucia are in a convo and she’s worried that she and Ester might
be “found out”. Ester really took things a bit far. “--Naw. Not one bit! When you want things
done right, you gotta take things into your own hands.” Ester had apparently taken things to a much
higher—or lower depending on your particular point of view—level than Lucia had thought to with her mischievous
scheming. (My CC were on the fritz for
the first 10 minutes or so and this actress was mumbling badly, so correct me
if I’m wrong here.) “--Besides no one
saw anything, especially Jose Antonio; and he didn’t die.” (Was that owing to
her being a poor shot or not?) It should
never ever come back to bite them on their bad-ass babes’ backsides. Well, just so that Maricruz doesn’t come back
to the house, Lucia declares with a far off stare, because she doesn’t know
what she’d be capable of doing then!
Back at
the hut, Mari’s on her knees now, begging for Tav to take her back. He won’t and claims she’s too much of a
tactless oaf [torpe] and always doing everything wrong. Ramiro returns and yells at her to stop
begging and then motions for Tav to leave quickly. He obliges and gallops off. Her upset is too much and Maricruz
faints. [Preggers alert!!] Ramiro, panicked now, picks up his
granddaughter and starts screaming in the direction of the hacienda that Tav
has killed her, the bloody bastard!! He’s
killed her!!
Lucia’s now
downstairs and asks Eusebio, that ol’ whippersnapper [¡Vámonos! ] of a rotten ranch foreman, if he knows who might have
shot JosA. He doesn’t. They catch La India Maria walking through
with bags full of food for Ramiro and MC.
The two of them have a fit and Ewwwsebio actually lets go of his whip long enough to wrestle away the bags. From
now on she’s not allowed to take food to the hut. “—But, she’s still Don Octavio’s
Missus!” Lucia tells her that if she
dares deliver food or even visits that trash again she’ll be fired.
Ester,
Lucia and Miguel are in the living room when Tav returns. Nope, JosA doesn’t know who shot him,
says Tav, and JosA doesn’t have any enemies that he knows of. “—Sure he does, he just doesn’t know
it. At least we are free of suspicion so
go eat something and relax.” Tav stares
over at Lucia and Ester who can’t look him in the eye. “—But Maricruz is suspected of it. Maricruz
is a victim in all of this.” Lucia’s
eyebrows go up. “—What do you mean by
that?” Well, everyone is blaming her for
it all! “--Not to worry, tho’. She won’t be back and won’t hurt you
again.” “—Hurt me?? She could kill me!” “--Not a chance. You haven’t a thing to fear!” He then cuts his bro off in mid-sentence and
angrily heads upstairs to bed.
Lucia races over to Miguel with a huge smile of triumph on her face. “—Finally!” Ester pats her on the back. ”---Didn’t I tell you?” Miguel, usually slow on the uptake, starts to put it together. “—You mean this was all your doing?” Ester realizes her big Ooops! as Cuz Lucia quickly covers for them. “--Oh, nooooo! But I’m soooooo happy that it happened, so very happy!”
Lucia races over to Miguel with a huge smile of triumph on her face. “—Finally!” Ester pats her on the back. ”---Didn’t I tell you?” Miguel, usually slow on the uptake, starts to put it together. “—You mean this was all your doing?” Ester realizes her big Ooops! as Cuz Lucia quickly covers for them. “--Oh, nooooo!

The next
morning Miguel goes into town to give his statement to the police. This cop, Comandante
Suspector, who is apparently bored with his run of the mill
chicken-snatching and drunk-and-disorderlies, is rather eager to solve this case. He looks menacingly over at Mig. “—Tell me everything
that you know!”
Lucia may
be having second thoughts. Ester tells
her that at least the girl is out of their hair and if Lucia sticks to her
guns, she’ll never be back, either.
Com. Suspector
listens to Miguel’s story and suspects it was no mere accident. “--An act of jealousy is more likely!” Tav wasn’t jealous of him, says Miguel. “--Perhaps Jose Antonio was shot due to a
jealous third party that had nothing to do with your brother.” For example, JosA could have a girlfriend
that Octavio’s wife was jealous of.
MC tells
Ramiro she’s going to the hacienda to see if Santa will feed her. It’s been days since they left food at the
hut and she’s starving.
Santa and
Maria are happy to see Mari again. She
explains she’s been barred from coming back because she whacked Sra.
Lucia. Santa asks if she knows who shot
JosA. “—Nope. Didn’t see a thing.” Maria scolds her for ignoring her
advice. “—We went riding for the last
time and I was telling him I couldn’t anymore because I was married, but then
suddenly he got shot.” She tells them
then that it’s been a couple days since they left them any food and she’s
starving. The women start to get her some food ready and just then Ewwwwsebio
walks in on them. He slaps his whip ¡Vámanos! and screams at Mari to get the
hell off the property! Santa tells him
to show some respect for Don Octavio’s wife!
“--Ha! She’s nothing around here
anymore and she has only herself to blame!”
He looks over at her again.
“--Who shot Jose Antonio? Must
have been one of your lovers, huh!”
Santa stands her ground and so does Ewwwsebio. “--Yeah, well we’’ll just see if Sra. Lucia thinks the same as you!” He heads off. The ladies scurry to get the food together or at least to have her eat with them, but MC races off beforehand.

Ewwwy
blabs to Lucia who races into the kitchen.
She doesn’t want any “strangers” let into her kitchen. Excuse me, the two tell Lucia, but she’s Don
Octavio’s wife and he’s an owner of the ranch the same as Don Miguel. Doesn’t matter. She doesn’t live here anymore. “--I’m the only Sra. in this house.” (Gawd and she’s spawning, too!)
Tav, the brash, brown-eyed, broad-shouldered, babe-alicious hombre de la hora, strolls into the kitchen just then. Lucia shuts up toots sweet, but Maria isn’t going to let that sleeping dog lay let alone lie. “—Let’s see what Don Octavio here has to say.” Maria explains MC’s predicament and their point of view there in the kitchen and says they’ve been bawled out about it because Ewwwsebio ran and blabbed his head off to Sra. Lucia.
Tav is rightly incensed and orders food enough for three. Tav then turns to Lucia, totally exasperated. He tells her while the kitchen help’s ears grow the size of jack rabbits, that from now on he will be taking the food to the hut. “--Why hasn’t she eaten? Who ordered the food stopped.” “--Why I did.” “--For the nth time [enésima vez], I am just as much an owner in this house as you and Miguel. If you have a problem with Maricruz you come to me first. She’s been roaming around this ranch like a starving dog. What kind of people are you and Miguel, anyway?“ “—She is just a product of her environment.” We here are all to blame, he corrects her, for the environment, all of wicked humankind…. She sniffs at him. Cara de you’re such a sick puppy de Lucia.

On the
coast where Alejandro’s sinking gambling ship is docked, we watch Teobaldo, an
apparent descendant of Quasimodo who made it to The New World somewhere along
the line, tending tenderly to his roses.
Carola arrives and Teo (her ship's manager/first mate?) makes the mistake of trying to hold a polite
conversation with her. She notices through
one of the windows some sick looking woman on the dock--obviously bad for
business—and orders Teo to chase her away.
Teo goes out to shoo her away and decides to question the girl. He learns that the girl lost her waitress's job and hasn’t eaten for a couple of days. She’s got nowhere else to go and no coin to get a ticket back home, but she heard they were hiring here. Not true, he tells her. Teo has a soft heart and puts her up in his little bungalow where he makes her a bite to eat. (Maybe he could offer her the shower while he’s at it, and some sweats before she eats and crashes on the couch?) She begs him to ask his boss to give her a job of some sort. He isn’t very hopeful but promises to try. Somehow Viewerville knows instinctively that Carola will give in…and she does.

The next day? Tav and Mig are excited about their prospects as cattle ranchers what with the stud bulls they’ve loaned out for their cows. Along comes Mari and asks if she can work alongside Tav. Nothin’ doin’, he tells her. It’s man’s work. He succeeds in deflecting and talks her into living at Gramp’s hut till he gets a small house built for them to live in. Still, she doesn’t want to wait. She promises to be good now, despite her SIL’s acid tongue. “—They just don’t want you there. She’s expecting and besides hitting her there’s the mess with Jose Antonio.”
MC explains how that shot came out of nowhere and that she had nothing to do with it and didn’t see who did it. She’s relieved to find out that JosA was only wounded and still very much alive. “—As for you’re coming back to the ranch with me, we can’t risk Lucia losing her baby. She’s so susceptible to things and she eats poorly, she has fainting spells—“ “—Fainting spells? Do you think I could be expecting also? I’ve fainted myself.” And, yeah, she’s been sick to her stomach and ravenously hungry, she tells him. So, does he think it’s possible she could be preggers with his bebito, too? Cara de Ruh-roh! de Octavio.
MC goes back dutifully to her hut and updates Ramiro. Just then who should appear but JosA, alive and kickin’, to check up on them all. Mari asks him if he has any idea who shot him.
Back at the hacienda, Tav comes down and is ready to spend a few hours in the back forty with his bro. However, Michael is too depressed to join him and nothing Tav says to encourage him seems to help. (Maybe a trip to the doctor for a testosterone shot?) Well, soon he’ll have his own house for Maricruz and their little crumb-crunchers. Won’t that be nice!!?? (Definitely a few trips to the psych for a few couch chats would now be in order.) Miguel asks Tav why he gave up being an airline pilot. He got bored with it or whatever…..bottom line he’s here and prefers having both feet on terra firma.
JosA tells them all he hasn’t a clue who shot him, though he has his suspicions. Well, stay clear from problems with women, cuz they’ll sink you fast, advises Ramiro. JosA then asks why she didn’t come to visit him at the hospital. She explains she couldn’t now that she’s married it wouldn’t be wise. He finds out from her also that she’s been banned from the ranch and why. He’s upset that they’ve shunted her back to the hut, as if she’d never been married. “—Wives are supposed to live with their husbands!” No matter. He loves her and that’s all that counts. He asks Ramiro if they booted her out like yesterday’s trash or what. Ramiro looks at him as if he’s considered that to be a definite possibility.
Back in the stables, Ewwwsebio chats up JoseA about his feelings for Mari. JosA admits that he’s always been attracted to her, but gave up the idea because she never seemed interested in him. Now she’s married, but with the time they’ve spent together recently and all the rest he suspects he’s fallen in love with her all over again. Ewwwsebio is overjoyed to hear it. ¡Vámanos! (My stomach just did another 360.)
Upstairs in their room, Miguel relays the “happy news” about Tav’s intentions. “—If he has kids with her then we won’t be able to object to anything.” Lucia’s brilliant response to that is to have Miguel buy her two fierce guard dogs as pets. “--If she comes around there at night scavenging, those dogs are sure to frighten her off.” Cara de too confused by half de Miguel.
Tav and Mari spend time under theapple mango tree. He mentions he used to be a pilot and flew planes—no, not just the kind that sprinkle the fields, the kind that takes passengers from place to place. He was the captain, but no he didn’t like the responsibility for all those people at times. (Hmmm. The back story here may prove to be pretty interesting.) He has to ask her something, he says. “—How do you feel about Jose Antonio?” A great guy, you know. Yeah, but is he in love with her, he asks? That’s a loaded question and she knows it.
Miguel asks Lucia to cool it with this business about getting rid of her brother and his wife. She’s too gung ho, tho’, and he’s too down on himself to do much arguing over it with her.
Back at the stables, Ewwws probes and prods JoseA some more about Maricruz. J-To won’t pursue anything because she’s still in love with her husband and there’s no reason. Crap on a shingle. Certainly she’s nothing more than a tramp and whoever shot him was some spurned lover of hers from her sordid past! JosA objects to Ewwwsebio dissing MC like that, but he tells JosA he’s still wet around the ears when it comes to the fairer sex. JosA says he has always loved her, but he can’t force her! Sure he can, says Ewwws. “—Listen carefully to what I tell you!” JosA seems to be all ears.
Back to the mango tree, meanwhile, MC says it’s nothing but lies. There’s nothing between him and her. Tav asks her if something ever happened to him would she consider marrying Jose Antonio. “—If anything happened to you I’d follow you to the tomb!” They kiss. Too morbid to even think about.
Speaking of morose, Lucia brings her cuz up to date on her plans for the two dogs. She’ll just be egging Octavio on by getting those dogs. So? Lucia cannot allow that trash back into her house. But, every day it seems Octavio falls more and more deeply in love with her! That manse isn’t big enough for the two of them! "--If she comes back I’m leaving! It is either me or her!"
Tav tells Mari that he’s got no problem with her and J-To sharing a friendship. In fact the guy probably deserves it more than he does. (Say what?) MC asks him what he means by that. (Unfortunately, neither she nor we get an answer.)
Night falls and Tav pulls up in the drive to the hacienda. Rather than go straight in he heads out back and finds JosA. After asking how he’s doing, Tav asks JosA if he’s been to see Maricruz. JosA says a bit awkwardly that he hasn’t because she doesn’t want to see him, and after all she is married. But, asks Tav, if she were single, would you marry her? (Hmmm. Seems Tav’s planning something.) JosA swallows hard and thinks about what he wants to say.
At the same time, Ofelia comes into the living room where Ester, Lucia and Simone are having coffee. She tells Lucia that that trashy broad is outside the front door and demanding to be let in. "--How dare she! I’m going out there this minute and talk to her myself!"
Tav asks JosA again. “—Would you marry her?? Answer me, Jose Antonio!” He turns to Tav and says “--Yes!” He would in a heartbeat if she was even slightly interested in him, and he would make her very happy! Tav accepts the painful truth bravely.
Out front, Lucia confronts MC from the veranda, demanding to know why she’s come. Mari looks sincerely penitent. “—I’ve come to ask your forgiveness.”
MC explains how that shot came out of nowhere and that she had nothing to do with it and didn’t see who did it. She’s relieved to find out that JosA was only wounded and still very much alive. “—As for you’re coming back to the ranch with me, we can’t risk Lucia losing her baby.

PEAM, Tuesday, May 28. Rogue: The three words that describe you are as follows, and I quote: Stink! Stank! Stunk!
Leftovers:
Alma notices Susana hasn't shown up to work. Xochi tells Jesús she knows she can't compete with Almighty Alma for his affections. Disco Biscuit shows up out of uniform to speak to Alma, interrupting Xochi's slow acceptance of Chucho's inconvenient feelings.
Rogue drops by Fernie's apartment claiming his heart grew three sizes and he's ready, Rogue himself, to carve the roast beast. Er, I mean he says he wants to smoke the peace pipe. Probably full of the crack that gives him his usual crackpot ideas. Fern is still angry and isn't buying Rogue's change of attitude and fantasizes about telling him he's turned him in to the police, but he just acts pleased when Rogue claims to totally trust him to hold the fort while he and Alma are away. Fern sneers over Rogue's shoulder as they hug.
New, I think:
The swat team storms the warehouse. Delia doesn't seem to feel the need for the protective gear her team is sporting. Maybe because she can intimidate anyone into submission with just a glare. Inside, Mal reads the full-page, full-color newspaper spread gushing over Rogue and Alma's upcoming wedding, and gripes to his lackey/hash slinger Calavera that not only did his bestie Rogue not invite him, that skunk doesn't deserve a fine dame like Alma!

Qué Bonito Amor #32 (Mex 47.2-48) Tuesday 5/28/13 Que Que What? Is That the Ghost of Rigoberto Past?
Todo lo que Pasó Ayer, Pasó Ayer
Esto Pasó Hoy
[Ed. note: Cap. 47, pt. 2 was deftly written by Urban Anthropologist,
with some embellishments by Anita. Cap 48 is up.]
Girls' Apartment: They appear to have finished moving the
furniture in and are horsing around. Food and drink appear and one of the guys
tells the others they should help, are they not men? They get up and Lety says “No, wait,” pushing
back against Jairo's chest (the best male one in this scene) as the others
tease good-naturedly. They all sit down
and eat, leaving very clean plates.
Jairo suggests some music and he turns on the boom box to some
cumbia. They start dancing, but that
dance floor is a little small for all of them.
Jairo and Lety have the best moves of the group.
Outside Middle School:
Ignored and rebuffed by Paloma, Rodrigo
leaves Paloma sulking. The mean girls
set up a play date with Rodrigo. He
smiles. Paloma snuffles.
Irasema's Apartment: Jorge Alfredo arrives to warn her that
Susanito discovered her profession and is very hurt and upset. She asks why he didn't tell him. He tries to explain that it never occurred to
him that Susanito had been talking about her all that time. She tells him not to judge; that people
invent stories to deal with their pain.
Susanito invented this one because for all these years he was lonely for
a woman to be at his side. He
acknowledges this is a possibility and suggests that she come to the bar that
night to talk to him. She refuses,
saying she has no right to love and doesn’t have a thing to wear—all she has is
“office wear.” Life does not allow her love. “Love is for you and your Bonita.” She begins to cry. Jorge knows when it’s time to leave.
Mendoza Apartment: Maria talks to her mother on the phone, asking
about Isabel. All is well. She tells her mother “No te preocupes” [TN
Cliché # 51], she'll cook dinner and look after Paloma. They're out of cash but she expects to be
paid the next day. Amalia tells her they
have to talk about the hospital bill.
Maria tells her that Jorge Alfredo used the money his parents sent him
to return to Los Angeles for Isa’s bill, not Rubén. Somehow Amalia thinks this is worse than the
fact that they already owe Rubén for her hospital bill. She’s going to pay them
both back. She doesn't want to owe
anyone anything. Maria is not in the
mood to argue about this now and tells Amalia so. She won’t press the issue and they end the
call.
Garza Mansion: Stupid Wendy calls Bruno, who tells her he
just woke up. [Excuse me, but why is that little lie necessary? He’s been up
worrying about his fate all night.] She
tells him she wants to see him but he hedges.
He says he wants things back to normal and she says has something to
tell him. He says ok, he’ll call her later and hangs up. He cries like a little
girl.
