Corazón Indomable Fri August 2 The Blood Called And Was Sent To Voicemail
We open this episode with the new improved Teobaldo masquerading as the old deformed and scarred Teobaldo (sorry if this confuses you, I've been paying attention and it makes no sense to me either. Take another sip of your Mezcal and pretend you understand.) paying a visit to Araceli's new apartment, interrupting what may, or may not, have turned out to be some afternoon delight for Eduardo (without Teo's arrival I was only giving him a bout a 20% chance of scoring anyway). After telling Aaceli he's found work for her back on the Isla, Teo scolds and threatens a bit as he simultaneously gives Eddy that familiar fish eye and twisted smirk that clearly means, "No nookie for you today
." Serious glaring ensues.
Back at el Rancho Rancid, Ester has decided to explore her benevolent urges by offering to help José Antonio advance his education. He can read and write a little already so... good to go.
"You'll do this for me, señorita?"
"This and much more," as she closes the distance between them.
I think that this is where a lot of my fellow recappers might add... Ruh Roh!
She reminds him that her name is Ester, none of this señorita stuff, and suddenly notices,
"You're very handsome."
He turns to leave but she reels him in and fingers his face,
"Tempting lips..."
Oops, it's Lucia, she looms and she doesn't look pleased,
"¡ESTER! What are you doing?" she screeches.
 |
| Oops, Better Hold Up On That Kiss |
As Juanita dusts, María Alejandra is about to leave for the casino to have a chat with Carola. Doorbell rings and Juanita goes to get the door.
"It's a very young and very handsome man," she announces and beams.
"You didn't ask his name?"
A familiar face peaks through the door, "Señorita, tell her it's Octavio Narváez."
 |
| Hey, I'm With The Jehovah's Witnesses... Got A Minute To Discuss Where You'll Spend Eternity? |
Briefly, back inside the ranch house Lucia is not pleased that Ester was flirting with that illiterate farmhand. Ester confirms that she is looking for a little distraction.

PEAM #104-8/2/13: What Time Is It? Time For Chucho to Grow Some Avocadoes!
Hola Manda Peeps. This recap will not be in order and I have combined some scenes to make the recap easier to read. Thanks to Julie, for "What Time Is It".
We get the bit of refried with Malvino calling Yuri and letting him know that Chucho is at Orion, seems they have wired Chucho for sound, as in his cell, computer, etc., and Yuri wants Malvino to keep a close eye/ear on Chucho. Xochi is dancing to her desk, while Susana and Mari are wondering why, oh, why is she doing that? Alma comes into work and is really sad thinking about Chucho not being at Avon anymore. Augusto is very happy Chucho made his choice to come to Orion. Alma continues to think about Chucho and goes to her office and cries. Augusto shows Chucho his new office and Aida comes in. She is very happy to be working with Chucho again. Chucho is not only the new V.P. but he gets the latest model car! Chucho is given his contract to sign and he does. Alma doesn't know why Chucho left Avon, and she cries some more. Since Chucho looks like Deputy Dawg on a bad day, Augusto asks him if he is ok. Oh, he is honkey dorey and Augusto welcomes Chucho to Orion. Hug and handshake. Aida asks Chucho if he is ok. He is. Chucho thinks of Alma and asks her to forgive him. Split screen and both are very unhappy! I just got one question? Chucho where oh where are your avocadoes?
It's lunchtime at Avon and Mari and Jess are knoshing together. They talk about Rico Sauve(Ricardo) and how Suave he is and Mari works with him too, well I gotta say, they all work and play together, don't they? Well, there is Elias too, but he's still married. What to do, What to do?
Ferny comes into work and has a little something, something for Xochi. She wants to know what and guess what it is? Anyone? That's right, diamonds are a girl's best friend, as in earrings that is. She is so exicted she is squeeing and Mari and Susana are wondering what is going on now! He also invites her over to his place this evening but she's a little unsure bout that.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #58, Thursday, August 1, 2013 - “The Wheels of MariAle’s Vengeance Are Finally Set In Motion…With the Help of an Unexpected Ally”
Recap written by LatinaMD
Note: As usual, some scenes are combined. This one was chopped up even more than we are
used to by now.
Doris tells her father he is so naïve and assures him MariAle
planned everything that happened at the party.
She then accuses her father of liking MariAle too. When he leaves her room, she promises herself
to get MariAle expelled from the island.
MariAle
tells herself that Octavio was very brave in defending her from Karim and she
has to be grateful to him for that, even if she doesn’t want to be. Meanwhile, Octavio lies in his bed telling
himself that MariAle’s flirtations with both Karim and the governor were quite
obvious. He says despite her physical
similarity with MC, they are both very different in soul and spirit. “Karim’s
lover. The nerve of that woman!! Maricruz wouldn’t dare behave in such a
vulgar way. I defended her because she
is a woman, but she doesn’t deserve my love.”
As
MariAle cuddles Lupita and sighs, she has flashbacks of happier times with
Octavio back on the ranch. She then
thought bubbles that she doesn’t do well to remember those good times, because
she can’t forgive his betrayal, his failure to defend her from Lucia and
others, and his abandonment. “And now of course he defended Maria
Alejandra, but not Maricruz. He surely
still feels scorn towards Maricruz. Just
as I should scorn him, because I need to be hard and inflexible to be able to
get vengeance, vengeance without pity, just as he had none towards me.”

Qué Bonito Amor #78 (Mex 115) Thursday 8/1/13 Que Bonito Auditoría
Two official-looking dudes come into Ay Jalisco . When Mirna tries to play hostess, they inform her they're here to audit the books. One of them asks her to close out the register right away.
Rodrigo tells Paloma that her being upset at him and not wanting anything to do with him was a big part of why he ran away. She's charmed and rewards him with a kiss.
Mirna escorts the official dudes into Concho's office, where they inform him that he hasn't been paying his taxes.
Amalia oohs and aahs over Isabel's superawesome test. She grudgingly admits Jantos helped with that. Isa asks Amalia what it means when you like a boy…does it mean you're in love?
Jalisquito is out an a nice family establishment giving toddlers fist bumps and working his charm. Make that kid the mayor of Telenovelandia!
Amalia tells Isa that she's a little young for being all crazy love like Paloma or Maria, but if she "likes" a boy, well, that's just natural.
Back at the Family Café, Jalisquito passes the hat. He appreciatively munches on a taco and daydreams about Isabel.

PEAM #103-8/1/13- Picadillo Means To Distance Yourself From The Ones That You Love and Paty Tells The Whole Truth
We start out with the lying skank Paty begging outside of
Alma’s apartment door for another chance. As Pablo would say-juarever!! Alma lets Paty in and gives her a
second chance. (Eye rolling time for me)
Xochy and Ferny are enjoying their date and talking about
how Xochy doesn’t drink and that Ferny doesn’t have any friends, no one to
confide in except for Jesus. They
toast for friendship, break their glasses and share a laugh.
Elias is putting Val to bed and she asks if Alma if the
Queen and the Helper will live happily ever after (and the handwriting is on
the wall) She wants to know if Alma is going to be her stepmother and when will
she marry her dad. Alma has
to take of things because she is still married to the Mean Prince. Nothing gets
by Val. Nitey, night!!!
Jesus arrives at Uri’s room and thought bubbles to Uri’s
warnings about the people that he loves, Alma, Chatita and Val. He better not tell
Officer Delia or someone may get hurt, possibly all three. Malvino lets him.
New Business
Alma pours Paty’s favorite drink and Paty is touched that
Alma remembers. Paty tells Alma that she is happy for her being with Jesus and
she always knew that they were meant for each other. Jesus’ love helped her get through the suffering as a result
of Paty deceiving her. A humbled
Paty agreed. (At this point I have to eat some crow because Paty is being
truthful.) Alma realized that she
didn’t really love Rogelio and Jesus arrived at the right time in her life. Indirectly
Paty helped Alma and Jesus to get together but Paty had selfish reasons for
wanting Alma with Jesus. Alma asks Paty if Rogue has changed in
the way that he values, treats and handles her. She lets Alma know that Rogue is seeing Vero, The Ice
Princess.

Corazon Indomable #57 Sometimes things don't go according to plan
We open with the arrival of the guests to Karim’s party. They decorated the apartment with guazy white material draped over the entrance so one must push them out of the way to walk in. The governor, Doris and Octavio enter and Karim gives Octavio the stink eye, but quickly recovers and welcomes them. Octavio wants to proceed to the drink table but Doris wants to wait for MA to arrive to see her get kicked out like the lower class casino owner she is. In walks MA in her body hugging red dress with her hair down loose and wavy. Octavio moons over her (I hope you know what that means because it describes his look perfectly) and Karim practically knocks Doris over to rush over and give her the welcome we all expect, including the hand kiss, and tells her in front of Dortavio (that’s what I’m going to call them when they are together), that she’s the reason for the party, and the most important guest. Doris is dismayed to hear that. Not only is she dismayed, but she is appalled that she could get the Emir’s attention like that.

La Tempestad # 3, Wed July 31 - No matter how treacherous is the sea, a woman will always be more so*
*Breton proverb (But I say it depends on the woman!)
Refrito: Madrina warns Dam about the impending tormenta. Mercedes sadly ponders the fate of her daughter. Mercedes wonders which stubborn mule will reign supreme, Damian or Marina. Split screen with Marina and Damian both gazing at the full moon, “What a man/woman! I’ve never met anyone like him/her. sigh...”
Lo Nuevo: Looks like Marina’s little school chum Hernan isn’t quite the upstanding businessman he claims to be. We now know he’s in league with bad-mayor Fulgencio and their side business is the trafficking of unfortunate women. They meet after dark; Fulgencio is nervous about being recognized. He says he’s the boss of this town and Hernan needs him to help arrange their “business”. They want to mess with the fish factory and they need to get rid of Damian, his boat is always on the water where it’s least expected, he could figure out what they’re up to. They both want Capitan Damian off the face of the earth.

PEAM #102-7/31/13: Extra! Extra! Desperate Widows Fighting Over Cricket-Face Man
Recap By Pablo
80 more to go!
''You are a lot more than you think you are''
Xóchitl's honesty hurt Julio in the deepest part of his heart. She doesn't love him. Jesús is drinking coffee with him and trying to make him feel better but Julio is afraid he will end up alone as a zombie, living without will and just walking around with no direction. Of course Jesús is right, Julio deserves a woman who loves him, but right now Julio doesn't see with clarity. The pain is just unbearable. Will you still not love me tomorrow?
''Take care Alma, your work is flawless and nothing bad should happen to you''
Alma, the only one who actually works at Avon, except when she is pissed off running away to CanCún with a heartache leaving traceable hints to be tracked down, presents to Rogelio with some reports, sales and representatives reports, budget, inventory and campaigns. Sounds impressive, so Rogelio slips and almost loses his cover telling her to be careful because some danger is pending over her head. The lawyer coughs and Rogelio stops but he has already said too much. One more mistake like that and the whole company will know that he is related to Uri Petrovsky in the dirty business area. That is not good.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 2. Tuesday, July 30th, 2013. A Storm Is Coming!
Greetings Everyone! I'm Mauricio and I will be your recapper for Tuesday. This is my first recap for Caray Caray. I hope that I will do a good job.
It turns out that Damian isn't just shirtless. He's actually naked. Damian asks Marina if she wants something. Marina asks him if he always receives his visitors naked. She calls him Mr. Fabre. It's Captain Fabre, he says. No, I don't receive my visitors naked. But you're the one who walked into my cabin without permission, says Damian. Marina asks Damian to put some clothes on. Damian seems to be enjoying exposing himself to Marina because he's laughing. He tells her that he will put some clothes on if she will kindly pass him his pants. Marina spots a pair of pants laying on the floor. She picks it up and hands it over to him. Marina still has her back turned while Damian puts on his pants. Haven't you ever seen a naked man before? asks Damian. I've seen many but that is none of your business, says Marina. It appeared that you hadn't judging from the look on your face. But like you said it's none of my business and to be honest I don't care, says Damian.
At Esthercita's house, her parents are having a very bad morning. Delfina is in tears. Fulgencio tells her to stop the waterworks already. She isn't letting him think. But our only daughter is missing, says Delfina. Fulgencio thinks that it is a mother's obligation to keep an eye on her daughter. He doesn't understand how Delfina did not realize that Esthercita had not come home. Esthercita told me last night that she was feeling tired and that she would be heading home, explains Delfina. But in morning when I went into her room she was not there and her bed was still made. Delfina is sure that something terrible happened to her daughter.

PEAM, Tuesday 7/30/13 (#101): Like Sands Through the Hourglass
Like sands through the hourglass. That's what it was like watching my recorder rescan all of the channels because Comcast, my esteemed and beneficent service provider, chose (in their infinitely mysterious wisdom) to reassign all the channel numbers sometime last night. By the time the rescan was complete AND I was able to find Univision (it's on 15-5 as of today, for the record), we were a good 40 to 45 minutes into the episode and I couldn't get the recorder going until it was just about done. But I'm gonna make the most of what little I saw and take a guess at the rest. The rest of you, please feel free to note what I missed, because I KNOW I missed plenty!
BONUS! See comments below from Tablet Jefa et al to fill in the missing pieces!
In Fernando's office, Xochi and Fernando console one another and bond tearfully over their bully-laden pasts.

Corazon Indomable, #56, Tuesday, 07/30/13 Everybody gets ready for the kidnapping party and Teo 2.0 makes an appearance
This felt like a set up for the next episode, so I decided to have some fun with it here and there...
The ranch – Lucia’s room
The ranch – Lucia’s room
Lucia is in bed, she
talks to Ofelia about her baby dying. It was a girl, she finds out. Esther comes
in and tells her they buried the baby on the ranch, but Ofelia’s surprised look
tells us that was not the case. Esther also adds that they’ll plant a rose bush
where they buried the child. Lucia is crying, mourning her baby.
I don’t mean to sound
insensitive, but Lucia had no belly, what was there to bury?
MC’s new office - Maricruz and Miguel
talk about his employment at the Casino
Maricruz (confident and stiff): "Hello, Sir that I
don’t know. What is your name? I need to add you to the list of employees for when
we pay you your miserable wages."
Miguel (to himself): "Dios mio, she looks just
like Maricruz! Or is it a ghost? Or a double?"
Maricruz: "What is your
name, Sir? How old are you? Are you married?"
Miguel: "I’m Miguel
Narvaez, I'm giving you my name because the pueblo police are surely not
searching for me, even if I’m a fugitive. I’m 40 and I’m married to a lunatic,
but I came here alone."
Maricruz: "You don’t
look like the kind of guy who is used to doing a portero job. I bet you own a
ranch that you had no clue how to manage. Do you have any references?"
Miguel: "I’ve never
worked before (truth!)… for others."
Maricruz: "Are you a
responsible person or a mediocre loser? Will you be able to humiliate yourself
to add to your pay, to receive tips?"
Miguel: "The H*** I
will. I won’t need them."
Maricruz: "Your salary
is very low, you won’t be able to live with it. You’ll need to learn to adapt.
Welcome to the Casino and now get lost! I need to think about my revenge."
Miguel leaves,
Maricruz has another talk with Destiny, this time to let it know the revenge is
beginning in 3, 2, 1…

Capitulo
111: Las Cartas No Mienten
JNTR
Club Room: Concho announces
that sadly, there is no female singer this evening but for the
special guests tonight he has two conquistadores, El Coloso and Mil
Amores. One of the ladies flirts shamelessly with both of them and
they launch into “El Rey.” Ana is not too pleased, thinking that
Fernando is eating this up. Oscar flirts with the whole party, they
look happy, and Lourdes looks pleased. Fernando sings his signature
song and Siete Mares doesn't look pleased. He kisses the guest of
honor after he's done.
Hospital:
The two cops who stopped Jorge Alfredo during the storm come to the
hospital with a Wanted poster looking for him. The nurse tells them
she hasn't seen him and she just came on duty. They go past her into
the corridor although she yells at them that they aren't allowed in
the intensive care unit. She picks up the phone. The administrator
stops them just as they are about to enter Maria's room where Jorge
Alfredo is sitting with her. He tells them that they need a search
or arrest warrant and they say they will return. Jorge Alfredo hears
this as he leans on the wall near the door. Despite this he vows to
stay with Maria, who lies asleep in the bed.

We look forward to the sweets that Alma has prepared for Jesús and the silliness to follow with Yuri, et.al.
Refrito: Pati does search about her dates and data of impregnation,
Elias and Vero argue, about the car, the child, the divorce, what else is new.
Pati and Cantú exchange fake pleasantries. Julio and Cardenas argue about his comportment regarding his BOSS Fernando resulting in the depressed Julio leaving in a huff of humiliation. Jesica can't believe that the fight is over Xochi and not her! She questions, "Fernando, what does he see in the glassy eyed one??"
Alma and Valentina and Jesus arrive and Valentina calls her AMIGA she also compares Alma to the princess of Valentina's story with her Papi Jesús and when Rogelio arrives just in time to see Alma and Jesús kissing, Valentina calls him a gruñion (yep, you guessed it, GRUMPY) and Rogelio takes over the scene with his return to total power which no one can deny. Fernando and Xochi discuss and shyly flirt in his office. All the new and old secretaries are in line to greet the returning Jefe.
In Fernando's office the brothers do a jumping, screaming silly routine. All of a sudden, Rogelio gets serious and wonders why Jesus isn't dead yet. All he wants is HIS Alma back.

Corazon Indomable #55, 7/29/2013: Let’s Get On With the Revenge and Kidnapping Already!
I was bored by this
episode, so I’m keeping it really short. Scenes are not in order.
“It’s My Party and I’ll Invite Who I Want To”
Mari and Doris receive their invitations to the Ball...eerrr…Karim’s birthday party (aka, the kidnapping of Mari party). Mari reminisces with Juanita about the time in her life when she had few clothes, and her best dress was a (sometimes) white, shabby thing. Apparently, both Mari and Doris need to find dresses more opulent than the ones they wear every night in the casino, so they head to the same boutique on the island to try on dresses and to make catty remarks at each other.
Mari and Doris receive their invitations to the Ball...eerrr…Karim’s birthday party (aka, the kidnapping of Mari party). Mari reminisces with Juanita about the time in her life when she had few clothes, and her best dress was a (sometimes) white, shabby thing. Apparently, both Mari and Doris need to find dresses more opulent than the ones they wear every night in the casino, so they head to the same boutique on the island to try on dresses and to make catty remarks at each other.
Doris can’t believe a “woman of the casino” like Maria
Alejandra was invited to such an important event, at which the crème de la
crème of Isla Dorada’s society will be in attendance. She shoots off her mouth
to the shop attendant, saying that she will contact Karim and have him rescind
Mari’s invitation. The attendant tells Mari, but she isn’t worried since she
knows Karim is wrapped around her little finger.
Doris calls Tav and orders him to be her date for the party.
He is hesitant because he doesn’t have a thing to wear. Because those tuxedoes
he wears to the casino every week are just too casual for a birthday party. Our
educated, landowner pilot also doesn’t seem to feel he’s up to the level of the
other invited guests. I think the man protests too much, and just doesn’t want
to spend an evening with Doris, her father, her brother, AND Karim. I’d be
finding plenty of excuses not to join that sparkling crowd too. Maybe he should
have told Doris he’s washing his (luxurious) hair that weekend.
