Porque el Amor Manda #75: Lip Locks, Thumb Locks, Locked Up and Locked In
Vero and Elias are at it again (fighting, that is.) It's a long story but I can make it short for you: Vero provokes Eli to the point that he actually draws back his fist to strike. He is appropriately horrified: "Forgive me! Forgive me! It's just that you're SO OBNOXIOUS!" Well, yeah. It seems to be doing wonders for her hair, though. I'm tempted to try it myself.
Alma comes into the office and doesn't even notice that Paty's giving Chucho a panty-shot on his desk. She's so excited! Cantu says Rogelio's getting out! (Or maybe she's just over the moon about her Mexican Emma Peel outfit with all the yellow and zippers and yellow and stuff.) Jesus confides to Xochi that he wants Alma to be happy, but he can't stand thinking about Rogue getting down with his bad self if he's actually allowed out for a honeymoon. Now I'm confused. Is Alma actually...I mean...all of those Thursday nights...is that a COLD Jacuzzi at Rogue's house?Read more »

Corazón Indomable Friday June 21 Red or Black?
Well, the evening got off to an unpropitious start. I settled into my favorite chair with a well-made margarita to watch tonight's episode and ZAP... all the lights went out, the TV picture fizzled and was gone. This happened precisely at 6:00 PM CST just as the Televisa logo popped up.
The good news... we have a generator backing up our electricity and within 10 seconds we had power.
The bad news ... we have DirecTV... so the TV screen shows this:
and it did.
The good news... with DirecTV and the Spanish Package, I get a second chance at 9:00 PM CST with the West Coast showing ... keep your fingers crossed...
ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ... you get the point...
The rest of the recap is done so let's get back to the first 10 min or so and see how this all started...
Maricruz enters the air terminal and the security guy checks her bag... bag? Just one bag? Just how much civilization and being a woman training has she had? If her trip is overnight shouldn't she have at least 3 suitcases, a hang up bag, a carryon, and purse?

Qué Bonito Amor #50 (Mex 74.2-75) Friday 6/21/13 Oh What a Night, What a Night! Oh, What a Man, What a Man!
capítulo 74
Santos has surprised El Gusano de Giuliano in his hotel room and starts
to beat the pulp outta OJ. “—You’re
gonna regret ever bein’ born when I get through with you! You destroyed my life and my family’s life!” Giuli has counter-threatened the lives of JA’s
family and bragged to JAntos that he doesn’t have the balls to do to him what
the Fake-Baked One did to Cuzzin’ Bronzo.
Viewerville is really getting into this ho-down when, regrettably, Com. Malo and Camelo, aka Marsh, come down the hallway toquestion harass OJ a bit more to determine definitively whether
he and Ruben are in cahoots together.
They hear the commotion in the room and take the oddly cartoonish moment
to philosophically categorize and classify the beat-down as a fight to the
death. JA gets a few more jabs in just for payback--ya gotta love those kidney
punches Santos lets loose with--when Marsh and Malo burst in. Viewerville holds its breath to see if JAntos
will finally be discovered and taken in to custody. JAntos, though, realizing it might be Security,
pushes his way out of the room and down the hallway, knocking over baggage and bellboys
until finally managing to evade capture down the stairwell or some such.
Viewerville is really getting into this ho-down when, regrettably, Com. Malo and Camelo, aka Marsh, come down the hallway to

Weekend Discussion: What else do you watch? What do you get from it beyond entertainment?
Once upon a time we were speculating on some possible parallels between the British hit Downton Abbey and a past series. Since I am also a fan of the classic Masterpiece Theatre series and just ordered one as a gift for a friend, this seemed an appropriate topic.
Recently I opened a birthday gift received a few months ago from a that same friend and found parallels between our Que Bonito Amor and a British miniseries ironically slated for remake in the next two years: Poldark.
Ross Poldark and Santos have a lot in common in that they both come from childhoods of privilege and they find themselves suddenly with nothing and out of their element:
- Ross went into the American Revolution after killing someone in a duel; Santos fled to Mexico to avoid a false criminal charge; both end up dead broke.
- Ross is jilted by his fiancee and ends up with a miner's daughter; Santos is instantly charmed by a lady mariachi singer (2nd generation that we know of)
- Both have wealthy and dangerous rivals over something important: Ross has George Warleggan who wants to strip him of his estate and mining property, Santos has Ruben who will stop at nothing -- even murder -- to take Maria away from him and Giuliano who will destroy his and his family's reputation to protect his own arse
- Both men do menial work when there is no other option immediately available without complaint or even internal resentment
- Both men learn what is really important in life.
Whoever thought that there would be this much in common between a Mexican novela full of culturally-specific music and colorful festivals and a British miniseries filled with issues of class struggle, proper speech, and powdered wigs?
What else grabs your undivided attention?
Qué Bonito Amor #49 (Mex 73-74.1) Thursday 6/20/13 Que Bonitas Preparaciones
Isa gets a little revenge for Paloma's expulsion by tying that creep Vanessa's shoelaces together while Vanessa is occupied mocking Paloma. Roddy helps out by smooching Paloma in front of Vanessa.
Maria shows up at Ruben's office trying to convince him to accept payment on the loan. OG gets a look at her and shows just enough interest in her that Ruben calls off the business deal.
JA and Justo say their goodbyes and JA finally agrees to forgive his father.
Amalia isn't happy to hear about Paloma getting expelled and uses it as an excuse to angrily shoo Paloma and Rodrigo out of the house. Once they're gone, she admits to Isa that she got rid of them so she could keep working on Paloma's surprise quinceañera.
Paloma and Rodrigo hang out in a park riding bikes and just generally enjoying their teenage luuuuurve.
Justo gives Fernando a check, which kind of pisses JA off until he realizes he can use the money to pay off Ruben. Once that's taken care of, he wants to use the rest to help fund Paloma's quinceañera.

[Unfortunately, whatever opening scene was repeated
from yesterday got lost in the shuffle. My son had turned off the captions and
I was busy getting them back on. Some scenes are combined.]
Isla Dorada Casino
Although the casino in Isla Dorada may seem incidental to MariCruz’ story, it does form a large share of Don Alejandro’s wealth. And we know it takes lots of money for a major makeover, so let’s all pull for the success of the casino, shall we? And that’s where we begin, with Areceli standing in front of Carola’s desk. The blonde boss says she’s satisfied with Areceli’s performance, but this will be her last night. So sad, government authorities say she’s too young—20, but needs to be 21. Areceli is crushed, she liked her job, liked making her own money. She weeps and is afraid Teo might kick her out. Carola says don’t cry; she’s very sorry and would fix it if she could.

PEAM # 74-6/20/13- Days After The Wedding That Was Shortened By An Arrest
Happy, Eve of
the Summer solstice.
We start off by getting bits: of Jesus telling Vero that he
loves Alma and couldn’t tell her because she looked so happy in her wedding
regalia and Alma crying to Chatita
about how she didn’t tell Jesus that she loved him. She didn’t’ want to break up his united family, of Vero, Jesus and Val. Everything in its place!!! (If I didn’t have to recap, I may have
skipped this episode) Chatita
tells Alma that she knows the story but Alma doesn’t look happy for a woman in
love. She tells Chatita that Rogue was arrested at the wedding.
Rogue is talking to Cantu his corrupt lawyer, who brings him
medication for his zipper problem. And he has an idea as to how to use Fern to
help his case. He is still working
on the idea. Ferny is still thinking about Rogue’s words, how it is all his
fault. The doorbell rings and
Jessica and Alex (2 hoe hoe hoes) are at the door.
In the warehouse Ricardo sets up a dinner with an ipod for
the high fluting Marisela because he is homeless.( Side note- my priority may
have been to get a room to sleep in, as opposed to serving dinner- just saying)
Hmmm- the table is on a
forklift.
Ricardo is slowly winning over the rich wannabe. He recites a line from Ortega,
Gasset and Tagor and of course
Marisela has never heard of them.
(She needs to read more if she wants to hang with the rich and famous,
she is as dumb as a doorknob). He
is looking at her qualities, her beauty and her lips and then plants a smooth
one on her.
Elias is thinking about Val’s letter to Jesus and how Vero
and Jesus were kissing.. He calls
Marisela.
Elias interrupts Marsela’s kiss. He asks – if she is with Chatita. Of course not.
He needs to see her and she flat leaves Ricardo to run to Elias. Ricardo doesn’t have a freezer to
freeze the food for another day.
Poor fool.
Ferny is not interested in seeing either of the 2 loose
ladies. His brother is in jail and
he is not in the mood. Alex lied
that she is going out with Ferny, and he couldn’t remember her name. So Alex spills the beans – that Rogue
paid her to relieve him from his Discua depression, while a stunned Jessica
stands there. Ferny was happy that
his brother thought of him. Alex’s
message- tell your bro to pay me or I will sue him!!!
Rogue relives his last moments of freedom, literally, oh
sorry digressing, when he and Alma were announced as man and wife, Paty, the backstabber is speaking to
Domi, Rogue’s maid, while the dog is growling at her. (He has more sense than the humans) Paty wants him to rot in jail for
getting married to Alma, and then proceeds to break his picture. She yells that she loves him, (I am ready to fast forward,
oops I can’t)
Alma is still talking about how Rogue needs her more than
ever she has to help her husband and complete her promise. Chatita asks her if
she is going to divorce him??
Thank you, Chatita- who knew that she would be the forgetful voice of
reason. She tells Alma- bad
beginnings will have bad endings. Alma
starts talking and shares about her loveless childhood. (Where is the good doctor when you need
her?? Oh right, she is crazy and plotting to marry Elias) Chatita gives her the motherly hug and
attention that she has so lacked for years.
Vero doesn’t hear Jesus and wants him to give her another
chance for love. She will fight to
earn his love even though he has confessed that he loves someone else. (Calling
Dr. Phil and Steve Harvey
Jesus puts in another bid for Vero to give Elias another
chance. Vero is not hearing
it. She begs for another chance
for Jesus and Jesus is listening, oh no!!
He doesn’t want to play with her feelings, give her false illusions or
hurt her. She finally gets it or
does she???
Jessica enters Ferny’s apartment for any gossip or sex that
she can acquire. Fern has had it
with Rogue.
Elias shows up at Chatita’s and Chatita lets him know that
Marisela can’t be up too late and no funny business because she is listening.
Jessica presses Ferny for gossip and I hope that she will
slip and tell him the truth. He
tries to minimize what is going on to throw her off of the trail.
Elias wants to
talk and tells Marisela that Marta
is not the problem. Marisela slips in that Marta is the problem for her, but Elias
doesn’t pay her any mind. His
problem is that Vero wants to marry Jesus.
Jessica knows that Paty is having an affair with Rogue , she
remembers the video but keeps digging to find out why Rogue is in jail. He
sticks to the – I made up a story that implicated my brother and sends her on
her way.
Marisela lets Elias know how she feels for him but Elias is
stuck on Vero and his marriage.
Marisela tries to convince Elias that he will kill himself trying to
fight for his marriage.
Tonight’s bedtime story won’t be about the Queen and the
Helper because the Queen got married. .Valentina asks Jesus to come close (what
an old soul)- she wants to know what
does he feel in his heart? He can
trust her?? She lets him know that she overheard his conversation with her
mother and he reminds her to stay
in a child’s place. Val reminds
him that the adult stuff she can feel in her heart and it affects her. He loves
her more than anything and he will protect her like a Superhero. She tells him that she prays nightly
that she is thankful that he returned to her life and she is glad to know him. She loves him. She is another reason why I don’t fast forward.
Alma is playing the role of the good wife and is waiting
helplessly while her husband is in jail.
Jesus brings her coffee and tries to get her to rest and she cries on
his shoulder. That it was all a disaster.
Chatita gives Val – arroz con leche-rice pudding- yummy- and
tells her to eat it so that she will grow up to be a beautiful girl.
Alma is getting on my nerves, because she should be crying
that she married Rogue, sorry I digress.
Jesus is pained to see her like this and she is happy to have her best
friend Jesus at her side.
Val calls Jesus on his cell to find out when is he coming home. Val tells Alma that she and Chatita
love her. Alma takes Jesus’ advice
and goes home to rest.
The next day- Jesus tells Val that she has to study so that
she can be a Licenciada like Alma.
Mommy Dearest calls Xochy for breakfast. Xochy still wants answers about her
dad. Xochy tells her momma to make breakfast with her own hands. Mommy holds the crumpled up magazine
photo of the handsome galan and says- if you only knew the truth. Is that model, her dad, is her dad
handsome? Que the heck???
Ricardo reads the headlines about Rogue being arrested.
(Hmm- where is his friend that’s in the press??)
The agent has a theory about the money in the warehouse, are
Uri and Rogue connected? She is
going to interview Rogue.
Cantu visits Ferny and notes how much whisky he has
consumed. Is he trying to drown
his sorrows?
Everyone at Avon is a buzz about the arrest. Susana speaks up for Rogue, saying that
the arrest was a misunderstanding and it will all be cleared up. All of the idiots are standing around
speculating and NOT working as usual. Jessica who is always scheming wants to
know who is in charge- Cardenas says it would be Ferny and in unison everyone
says- desencanto!!! Thank goodness, Alma shows up to work. Now maybe something can get
accomplished.
Alma tells them that in the first place what happened to
Rogue doesn’t not affect Avon.
Everyone needs to be disciplined and not to gossip about her
husband. Alma says that her
husband has been arrested and everything will work out to his favor. She thanks them for their concern, but
then tells everyone to get back to work.
She then thought bubbles back to the wedding and when Rogue is arrested.

Corazon Indomable #28 Wed. June 19th. The Big Reveals
Solita faints, she’s brought up to her room and promptly falls asleep. I wish I could sleep like she does. I even wear earplugs so I can’t hear anything, but I still lay awake. Just another benefit for the youth. Sigh. MC thought bubbles about what could be wrong with Solita. It’s amazing how straight her hair gets with how educated she becomes. I must still be quite ignorant because my hair is still wavy. Sigh.
Octavio and Eduardo walking at the pier in Tuxes are discussing their love lives. Octavio is trying to convince Eduardo to leave Areceli alone and Eduardo is trying to convince Octavio to forget MC. No on both accounts.

PEAM #73- 6/19/13: This Is A Long Story That I Wish Was Shorter!
Recap by Pablo
This is January the 5th. Good day for a wedding!!
Read more »
Alma (stupidus volatilus), after Chatita's phone call and all the slippery phone and the missed/crossed calls, flashbacks to the only memories her brain has recorded. Yes! The ones with the kisses with Jesús. That makes her think she will be able to finally speak up and tell the good news and the bad news to both men in her life. Jesús (unicus worthis), who has come to her room to do the same, uses his laser vision to open the door without a key and sees her happier than ever (thinking of him) but he misinterprets that and decides not to bother knocking and walks away...
Too bad Alma's father, Sebastián (chuchulucus deadsquirruls) has been monitoring her and stops her right in her tracks. And she was in bionic woman mode!!
-where do you think you're going little girl?
-to see Patricia, dad, she has to check my make-up and hairdo...
-we'll see... we have more important things to talk about...
And here it comes, the same old speech we all know by heart. Rogelio saved my life, blah, blah, blah... remember you promised blah, blah, blah...
The straw that breaks the camel's back is when he says: YOUR WORD is the most important thing you have to offer! I swear I thought he was going to say your purity, honesty or at least virginity or something like that but hey, this is the 21st century, those things are so 18 hundreds!! This is the word's age! It's got truth, it's got meaning!!

My babies! Sorry for the late recap but I finished watching this episode this morning, my DVR kicked the bucket last night and I had to wait for the episode to go up on Unimas.
Tonight our story continues with Maria coming out of a Payday loan place, she thought she would get more money from them but she got just enough to buy some food for Paloma’s big day- the other night Amalia said they were making mole, and they better show us the yummy mole on screen or else I will riot!
In other news Justo has made it to Mexico and it looks like the Mexican government is helping him in his endeavor to find Santos, they even give him a cell phone that can’t be traced so that he can make phone calls, how nice of them! Justo, using Bruno’s(RIP) bar souvenir decides that HJNTR is the place to visit, and lucky for him his driver/body guard is familiar with the bar, heck he goes there all the time!
Justo makes it to the bar and is chilling out, he orders a drink and stays for a bit, after a while he gets up to go when suddenly the curtain comes up and he hears a voice that makes him turn in slow motion….and wont you just know it, his fugitive son is right there, singing in a mariachi suit which looks way too tight on him and makes him look pudgy (fashion fail wardrobe department).
Once Jorge finishes Justo asks to speak to him and they go into a dressing room to have a little talk about how daddy thought baby boy was a good for nothing criminal. Justo shows that he feels terrible about what has happened, he apologizes while our hero cries a little and complains that life is not fair, every one betrayed him, and worst of all his family doubted him! He is now a changed man, he might not have money but he has found real friends and the love of a good woman! Santos is dead! Long live Jorge!

Amores Verdaderos #155 Tue 6/18/13 Gramps, you old scamp
Amores Verdaderos Cap 155, 6-18-13—Gramps, you old scamp
Brief overview. Getting a late start. Hope to fill in blanks later. Discuss amongst yourselves.
Bulleted list, summary. May not be in order. May be fraught with errors!
* Anibal is determined to introduce Cande as his wife-to-be. She's a bit hesitant, but whatever. He drags her to the mansion and drops a bomb on Vicki. Vicki has a sh*t hemorrhage when she discovers that Cande is classified as the "love of his life." "Is she the woman you were galivanting around with when my mom was dying?" Poor Cande tries to set the record straight, but Anibal won't take any of this crap and tells Vicki that they're just going to have to suck it up and accept Cande. The Furry Fornicator wanders around with a glass of booze in his hand and makes snarky comments. When Anibal is asked how come it's okay for him to marry someone of a lower class and financial status, he says it's okay for him to do it, he's an old geezer (oh wait, no he denies that later) but anyway, he's got money and he can do what he wants, dammit! Unlike Vicki and Nikki, who are saddling themselves to good-for-nothing mooches. Big Angel doesn't like hearing himself classified as a good-for-nothing.
* Nikki and the Little Ape are still happy. Keep an eye on these two, I think I see an anvil in the horizon. Nikki tries to fix dinner, but she BURNS THE PASTA. No puede ser. The Little Ape says okay and they order pizza. They are talking about the families and catch up on things. Gramps cancelled her credit cards, blah blah, Little Ape says that's okay, blah blah, Little Ape is going to get a great job—I wouldn't count on that yet, Guzmancito!—Nikki makes some snarky remarks about Lili, the bad blood is still there and it's gonna be BAD when their real blood connection comes out.
* Anibal has Cande twisted in knots, believing that she's got to still conceal the truth about everyone's parentage. He tells her that if Adri knows the truth, they'll both get sued. Cande says, well, we would have it coming, right? Anyway, Cande gutlessly promises to keep the secret for longer, all the while thought-bubbling about her guilt. Whatever.
* Roy the Boy is coming along in his goal for humanhood. He opts out of a night on the town with Omar to read about gardening and earthworms, and seems genuinely interested! Omar shakes his head. It looks like Lili is starting to thaw a little.
* Adri asks the silver-haired Carlos where this relationship is going. Carlos, to his credit, admits that he's a love 'em and leave 'em kind. He doesn't plan on getting married or having kids, he is too stuck in his ways. Adri says that she's "too old" to think about settling down now (really?) and they agree to just "see how things go." Don't waste your time on this one, Adri! Throw him back in the water! I am waiting for her old flame (and Lili's baby-daddy) Vicente to show up.
* Lili and Polita go out to the movies with Jean Marie. Happy happy. Lili and Polita also have some sort of chat, about Roy the Boy I think and maybe also about what a bitch Nikki is. I kind of dozed off during this part.
* Happy happy at Beatriz's household. Guillo did some artwork showing Leo the Low as an angel. It seems like Guillo is accepting how things are. Salsa-Dude refers to Guillo as "their" kid. Happy happy happy.
* The Furry Fornicator takes a photo of little Mia in the hospital and sends it via cell to Kendra the Ho. She is lounging around at a spa or something, living in the lap of luxury, while feeding the FF some line about her "Aunt Puchis's" sad, sad funeral. "Seeing her in that awful coffin was just awful!" she cries, as she slinks around in her fab hotel room.
* Nikki is chatting with the Little Ape and talking about how Gramps has cut off her credit cards, blah blah blah. "Grandpa will stop being angry with me soon, because I'm his granddaughter—his ONLY granddaughter!" Uh oh!
* Vicki is all outraged about Gramps wanting to marry Cande. She assumes that Big Angel knew about this beforehand and he's keeping more secrets. Poised to read the riot act, she's surprised that Big Angel knows NOTHING and is super impactado. She gets all sweet and sugary with him. He starts to connect the dots and wants to talk to Cande ASAP.
* Anibal is calling people and making plans, obviously trying to manipulate Cande. What a douche.
* Big Angel flashes back to seeing Cande beg forgiveness to a dead Christina (in front of the Virgen de la Guadalupe statuette) about something. He connects all the dots (Cande admitting that Chris's dad isn't dead, Chris didn't know who he was, etc) and starts to suspect that Anibal is Chris's baby daddy. He confronts Cande about this. She does her frozen roll-eye thing here and thought-bubbles that she can't tell Big Angel the truth quite yet. She admits that years ago she met Anibal and fell in love with him, but says she got lost when she found out he was married. She doesn't admit that Anibal is the baby-daddy. (I got a little confused here. Wouldn't Big Angel want some confirmation or denial of Chris's parentage, or does he assume/not assume that Anibal is the daddy?). Anyway, she says that Vicki thinks that she (Cande) is some sort of Grandma Ho now. Big Angel promises to clear that all up for Vicki.
There's more stuff I forgot, but this should be enough to get us started. Screencaps (hopefully) coming later.
Brief overview. Getting a late start. Hope to fill in blanks later. Discuss amongst yourselves.

| It's all about what Anibal wants. . . |
Bulleted list, summary. May not be in order. May be fraught with errors!
* Anibal is determined to introduce Cande as his wife-to-be. She's a bit hesitant, but whatever. He drags her to the mansion and drops a bomb on Vicki. Vicki has a sh*t hemorrhage when she discovers that Cande is classified as the "love of his life." "Is she the woman you were galivanting around with when my mom was dying?" Poor Cande tries to set the record straight, but Anibal won't take any of this crap and tells Vicki that they're just going to have to suck it up and accept Cande. The Furry Fornicator wanders around with a glass of booze in his hand and makes snarky comments. When Anibal is asked how come it's okay for him to marry someone of a lower class and financial status, he says it's okay for him to do it, he's an old geezer (oh wait, no he denies that later) but anyway, he's got money and he can do what he wants, dammit! Unlike Vicki and Nikki, who are saddling themselves to good-for-nothing mooches. Big Angel doesn't like hearing himself classified as a good-for-nothing.
* Nikki and the Little Ape are still happy. Keep an eye on these two, I think I see an anvil in the horizon. Nikki tries to fix dinner, but she BURNS THE PASTA. No puede ser. The Little Ape says okay and they order pizza. They are talking about the families and catch up on things. Gramps cancelled her credit cards, blah blah, Little Ape says that's okay, blah blah, Little Ape is going to get a great job—I wouldn't count on that yet, Guzmancito!—Nikki makes some snarky remarks about Lili, the bad blood is still there and it's gonna be BAD when their real blood connection comes out.
* Anibal has Cande twisted in knots, believing that she's got to still conceal the truth about everyone's parentage. He tells her that if Adri knows the truth, they'll both get sued. Cande says, well, we would have it coming, right? Anyway, Cande gutlessly promises to keep the secret for longer, all the while thought-bubbling about her guilt. Whatever.
* Roy the Boy is coming along in his goal for humanhood. He opts out of a night on the town with Omar to read about gardening and earthworms, and seems genuinely interested! Omar shakes his head. It looks like Lili is starting to thaw a little.
* Adri asks the silver-haired Carlos where this relationship is going. Carlos, to his credit, admits that he's a love 'em and leave 'em kind. He doesn't plan on getting married or having kids, he is too stuck in his ways. Adri says that she's "too old" to think about settling down now (really?) and they agree to just "see how things go." Don't waste your time on this one, Adri! Throw him back in the water! I am waiting for her old flame (and Lili's baby-daddy) Vicente to show up.
* Lili and Polita go out to the movies with Jean Marie. Happy happy. Lili and Polita also have some sort of chat, about Roy the Boy I think and maybe also about what a bitch Nikki is. I kind of dozed off during this part.
* Happy happy at Beatriz's household. Guillo did some artwork showing Leo the Low as an angel. It seems like Guillo is accepting how things are. Salsa-Dude refers to Guillo as "their" kid. Happy happy happy.
* The Furry Fornicator takes a photo of little Mia in the hospital and sends it via cell to Kendra the Ho. She is lounging around at a spa or something, living in the lap of luxury, while feeding the FF some line about her "Aunt Puchis's" sad, sad funeral. "Seeing her in that awful coffin was just awful!" she cries, as she slinks around in her fab hotel room.
* Nikki is chatting with the Little Ape and talking about how Gramps has cut off her credit cards, blah blah blah. "Grandpa will stop being angry with me soon, because I'm his granddaughter—his ONLY granddaughter!" Uh oh!
* Vicki is all outraged about Gramps wanting to marry Cande. She assumes that Big Angel knew about this beforehand and he's keeping more secrets. Poised to read the riot act, she's surprised that Big Angel knows NOTHING and is super impactado. She gets all sweet and sugary with him. He starts to connect the dots and wants to talk to Cande ASAP.
* Anibal is calling people and making plans, obviously trying to manipulate Cande. What a douche.
* Big Angel flashes back to seeing Cande beg forgiveness to a dead Christina (in front of the Virgen de la Guadalupe statuette) about something. He connects all the dots (Cande admitting that Chris's dad isn't dead, Chris didn't know who he was, etc) and starts to suspect that Anibal is Chris's baby daddy. He confronts Cande about this. She does her frozen roll-eye thing here and thought-bubbles that she can't tell Big Angel the truth quite yet. She admits that years ago she met Anibal and fell in love with him, but says she got lost when she found out he was married. She doesn't admit that Anibal is the baby-daddy. (I got a little confused here. Wouldn't Big Angel want some confirmation or denial of Chris's parentage, or does he assume/not assume that Anibal is the daddy?). Anyway, she says that Vicki thinks that she (Cande) is some sort of Grandma Ho now. Big Angel promises to clear that all up for Vicki.
There's more stuff I forgot, but this should be enough to get us started. Screencaps (hopefully) coming later.

PEAM, Tuesday 6/18/13 (#72): Running With Scissors
Chucho doesn't want to go to Acapulco, but that dress isn't going to deliver itself, and he is the only person in the world who can do it, according to Valentina, Xochi, Mari, and Cardenas; so who is he to disagree? He calls Delia and says there's an emergency, and therefore he has to leave town, pretty please?
Delia starts to say no, but then some flunkie hands her a signed, stamped, and approved arrest warrant. (If you play it back verrrrrry slowly, you can see "Rogelio Rivadeneira" in blurry letters in the lower left corner.) This pleases her so much that she authorizes Chucho's request. "Gee, thanks," he says without enthusiasm. "We're going to Acapulco," he tells Valentina in the same tone one might say "we're going to the Registry of Motor Vehicles."
Cardenas helpfully protests that there isn't enough money in the budget for two more tickets, but Mari and Xochi say that Rogelio will probably fire Cardenas if he's the reason Alma doesn't get her dress and they cancel the wedding. So, yeah, this is gonna happen, and Chucho's gonna MAKE it happen! What a guy!
Sansón and Rogelio get a couple's massage, complete with cucumber slices on their eyelids and scented candles everywhere.
Alma and Paty are getting facials, also with cucumber slices. Paty agrees to help Alma with her makeup, "IF the dress arrives." "Don't tempt fate," Alma warns. (Is it really necessary to "tempt" fate? Dude, fate is like a little kid running with scissors!)

Corazon Indomable, #27, Tuesday, 06-19-2013 An impactante meeting leaves our galan in his usual state of clueless disbelief
Yesterday MC learned how to walk in 5 inch heels (already she is a better lady
than me) and made Viewerville realize that not all people use cutlery the same
way; Tobias found out the big secret, but he would not be a tn character if he
decided to tell the truth immediately; Octavio, the Oblivious One, kept wasting
the air he breathed; and Viewerville came to the terrifying realization that
Solita is pregnant, too.
Today we start off with …a bit of yesterday’s last scene, actually: MC
chatting with Justa, telling her how different she sees life now, thanks to Don
Alejandro’s help, how ignorant she used to be and how much hurt she had to go
through. Justa encourages her to stay positive, think about her baby, try to
find the father, but MC doesn’t care about him anymore, he betrayed her and
left her alone the wolves who only wanted to hurt her. Now all she wants to do
is work, find a way to repay Don Ale for all the good he’s done to her.
Then the talk goes to
Solita and how much she’s eating and Justa mentions that maybe Solita, too, is
pregnant….
Alejandro is revising
the latest balance sheet from the casino and tells Tobias that he doesn’t
understand how come the gains are becoming increasingly smaller. According to Carola,
this is because of the thief that is scaring away the clients.
But Ale’s biggest
worry right now is MC, so he’ll take her to the theater tonight, to see a musical
(oh, boy, will she put her shoes on the balcony banister like Maria la del
Barrio did once upon a time when she went to the Opera?).
Alejandro sometimes wonders
whether he did the right thing trying to change MC so much in such a short
period of time (the screen slides to MC happily learning stuff), but she is
making such a great progress and so fast (like all tn protagonistas are required
to, duh!). Ale also plans to take care of Solita later on (thank God for that,
did he hear us?).
Left alone, Tobias is
wondering if he’s doing the right thing by keeping MC’s paternity a secret….Take
your time, Tobias, no pressure…

Amores Verdaderos #154 Mon 6/17/13 a bit of this and a bit of that... Nil-Brains and Anyballs protest Nikki and Frankie relationship, they could care less... well, Nikki has some reality checks to endure.
Sorry if some of this is choppy, we had a major thunderstorm going through here during AV, will edit tomorrow as I rewatch...
JA walks in on Vicky and Carlos at her office, and drops a book worth of papers on Carlos…
Vicky reprimends, how about knocking before burging in?
Carlos makes his quiet exit… Vicky and JA argue like teens
JA is way out there in his jealous rage. Vicky puts him on the spot, I hope my guy will trust me. JA responds ‘yes ma’am!’
Candy comes to visit Anyballs, she wonders why he called her in. ANyballs brings up the Nikki/Guzman affair issue. Candy is more worried about Lilli. Anyballs changes the subject drastically, we have to go public with our hand holding. Everyone should find out you are the love of my life… I want you to be my dinner guest tonight, with Vicky and Adri. And you will be there as my fiancee’. Candy wants to spill the beans about Lilli, Anyballs goes ‘whoa there! Not so fast’ I want them to know you are the woman I have always loved but not ready to take mask off… I am ready to confront everything (cough cough, with that one HUGE exception!) … for you Candy.
Candy comes out (not sure what response she gave him other than deer in headlights eyes)… JA sees her, asks her what are u doing here? Who are you looking for?
Nikki calls Vicky and tells her the ‘wanna get away?’ moment she just had at the grocery store (that is how my dear Tatito is treating me). Vicky says don’t worry, I will get you all set up (with her own plastic, I am guessing).
Vicky sends Frankie a message to come see her in her office asap.
Nikki is at farmers market, is more lost than a worm in a hen house…
Back to poor deer Candy with JA at offices. Candy puts as excuse the new job of Lilli’s at the greenhouse of ANyballs, JA needs to talk to Anyballs. Candy makes her exit, or maybe she was running (she was indeed running) to the ladies room?
Anyballs calls HR and apparently makes sure they won’t speak well about Frankie if he uses the company as reference. (yikes!!)
Roy comes back to green house, this time minus the costume. Lilli treats him like crap, won’t even consider accepting him as a friend. She whoshes him away but he comes bag like a pest bug. He pleads with her to give him a shot, he wants the job as her assistant. I personally like his trying to get the job saying he will call her ‘jefa preciosa’. She says this job is not for him, who Is famous and gives press conferences all the time. She won’t believe that he is willing to leave that celebrity world behind for her. So he says put me to the test. If I don’t measure up, you fire me.
JA goes in to talk to Anyballs. JA assures ANyballs his relationship with Vicky won’t interfere with his job. Anyballs turns on his recorded message ‘yours is a very unequal relationship’. JA wants to bring back the subject of Lilli and the greenhouse. Warns Anyballs she is not very experienced. ANyballs says he trusts her abilities. JA repeats his warning.
