Corazón Indomable Fri 8/16 Watch Out For That First Step!


¡Que casualidad! Today is Raiza's birthday and Lucía is in town...what could possibly go wrong?

We join Raiza and Miguel at the casino bar,

"I owe you a great deal, Raiza, and although you won't believe it, you have been helping me spiritually."
Let's Get Outta Here Before My Crazy Wife Shows Up
Hold it right there, buster, she has helped you on your way to financial ruin,  addiction to gambling and alcohol dependency, as well as abandonment of your family and farm... OK, we realize that there has been some fast and loose editing, but are you going to tell us that she's also been taking you to church, AA and Gamblers Anonymous meetings and that has all been left on the cutting room floor? 

Before he can enlighten us about his spiritual development she proposes a toast and although he's been sipping brandy out of a snifter, he begs off. See, his wife has a keen sense of smell (actually, crazy people do, they can smell things that aren't even there). She becomes maudlin and confesses that even though it's her birthday, she's all alone. Much like us, he doesn't want to descend into her self pity, so he decides to complete that toast and gulps down some of that brandy.

What can I say? The crazy lady, Lucía, looks great in that scarlet gown. She's impressed with the casino... lots of elegant ladies. Octavio agrees and tells her that they love the gambling (even more than the men do), and as Maricruz spies around the corner, he nervously goes to seek out his brother.
When Octavio departs, Maricruz, wearing a well-fitted black and brown gown, slinks out of hiding and approaches her cuñada, much as a lioness stalks her prey.
Welcome To My Web You Pretty Little Fly

"Buenas noches, Señora Lucia."

Qué Bonito Amor #89 (Mex 127) Friday 8/16/13 A Blow Out Of A Birthday Party!

Capítulo 127 

It’s the day of Maria’s (21st?) birthday party and the whole colonia is helping prepare something special, courtesy of JAntos who, despite his new found poverty, always manages to comp for a crap load o’ goodies.  

Rodrigo is learning to cook alongside the love of his short life from the Blue-haired Bubbes—er…Babes while Giuliano’s thugs, pretending to be repairmen and plant a bomb which is hooked to the light switch in Maria’s dressing room.  Ana orders a birthday cake made like a mariachi’s sombrero from her padrino down the block. 
Wendy whines to Michael that her life’s being threatened and so she’s gotta make tracks to parts unknown.  He’ll have to find another assistant.  It’s too dangerous to stick around.  (Like working inside the prison isn’t?)  He whines in return, begs her to stay, and promises to protect her somehow from inside Da Joint.  He’ll find out what the bad guys have planned through Darren.

The whole gang decorates the bar and then wait for the guest of honor to arrive.  The lights go out; she arrives in a (¿qué coinkidink?) beautiful lacy, flounced white partying frock and sees the flower and the sombrero cake.  Next comes the beautiful serenade from JAntos. Next comes sweet smooches and cheers.  Mil Amores has another onset of the sadsack for having lost out with Ana.

An Ill Omen Brings Nobody Good


LA TEMPESTAD # 14
16 August, 2013

The Town of Nuestra Señora del Mar, Veracruz, Mexico

“Nothing happened today. It was pretty uninteresting to me.”
                                                                                                Anonymous
                                                           
An Ill Omen

Marina leaves the church after her conversation with Damian. The wind blows her hair onto her lipgloss and she looks very upset. Yep, she is in a storm of emotions when she looks over at Damian. Damian has a rare clumsy moment and the brand new engagement ring in the black velvet box falls out of his pocket onto the ground. The good Priest, Fulgencio, Delfina and Estercita are standing a little lower on the church steps and see the ring fall. Oh, my, dear friends, this is a most inauspicious omen for los novios, Damian and Estercita.

Now, just where is Madrina Eusebia when Damian needs her? If she were on the scene instead of just hanging out in her cosy beach palapa she could tell the whole lot of them that this omen—the fallen engagement ring ON THE CHURCH STEPS—betides such ill chance that it would be better if Damian and Estercita never met! Marina and Damian could run into one another’s arms, cut to their boda, and the whole romance part could be wrapped up right here. Alas, Eusebia is not there and the moment with the possibility for a quick resolution to our story passes.

Qué Bonito Amor #88 (Mex 126) Thursday 8/15/13 Que Bonito Aburrimiento

The Santos, OG death match goes nowhere.

Justo comes to visit Michael to talk about Wendy.

Wendy gets a nasty email saying "YOU'RE NEXT" and freaks out.

OG's such a big man, beating on Jantos while he's being held by two goons.  OG opens up champagne…um, no, if it's Italian, then it's not champagne, dumbass!...to toast to this big day.  Still haven't heard why this is such a big day.  Ha!  OG's trying to shake Jantos down for 10 million.  What an idiot!

Roddy and Paloma…all alone?  Why?...go to Jantos' family's vault to leave Gloria's ashes.  I'm going to be bitter about Gloria's death for a while.  Roddy is likewise bitter, but in a more weepy way.

Maria and Fernando start tracking down Jantos.  They strike out at the restaurant.  Fernando counsels patience, but Maria is convinced Jantos is in danger.

Mostly I think he's in danger of being bored to death by OG.  So, the plan is to get Jantos to get Justo to hand over the money.  Jantos is thrilled to hear that OG's life is in danger.  OG admits to killing Bruno and Arnold.  He blames Arnold for not taking the money out of the trunk in time.  "Blah, blah, blah, he died like the rat he was."

Corazon Indomable Cap. 68 8/15/13 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”



           There seem to be a few bumps in the road to romance for our secondary couples, while our heroine is poised on the edge of a cliff. Will she jump into Karim’s arms or be pushed into a prison cell?  My preview prep was limited, so if I missed something, please add a comment.  Many short scenes are combined and may not be in strict order.

Previously      Doris is in Daddy Gov’s office brushing off Octavio’s marriage as a mere inconvenience.  It took place in a small town, after all.  If the first wife shows up on the island, Daddy can make her go away. 

          The Gov is slightly puzzled—doesn’t Doris care about the scandal?  Nope, just about her hawt pilot/Lt./air force commander/whatever.  She loves, loves, loves him and wants to marry him.  We have a nice break from ShutUpDoris for most of this episode.  She and Mariana have a brief scene with the Gov later, as he explains they can’t do the big wedding announcement yet because  a) he’s busy and b)the mess of Oblivio’s marriage isn’t fixed yet.

Casino Executive Offices
          The casino environment is beginning to feel claustrophobic, but it could be due to the emotional temperature of the sizzling scenes with MariAle and Tav.  The two are arguing if MariAle is MariCruz.  She gets her ID to show she is indeed Maria Alejandra Mendoza.  Our married man wonders how she knew he already had a wife and couldn’t marry Doris. She hints that his bro might have let the news slip while he was drunk. Oblivio, frustrated, claims he’ll marry Doris just to bother MariAle and asks her to leave him alone if she doesn’t love him.

PEAM #113- 8/15/13- A Break-up, An Engagement, An Annulment, An Ugly Divorce, An Almost Fight and An Arrest

It's out of order but easier to read. I grouped like happenings together.
 
The Old:
Ferny and Rogue are having a bro to bro talk about the only woman that he has loved- Amanda who he lost.  He only thinks about money and sex. Then Ferny breaks it down- you have your cake and was eating it too but you lost that as well.

 Marisela tells Panfilo to stop being a player and be honest but he is going to the Carnival Club for people of a certain age. Panfilo is dressed to the nines, cane and all and Susana is licking her chops when she sees him.

 Julio brings Jesus the judicial news about custody.
Moronica comes home in a mood and wants to speak to Elias about the photographer.  We get a glimpse of those horrible neon green, phone handle-matching shoes. Yuck!!!!!

Alma goes to Padre Domingo for the annulment papers.  Alma is happy.

Val is sneaking to speak to her Papa Jesus.  She is anxious to see him. Moronica is on her broom, yelling about Jesus and not letting him see his daughter and walks off. Beyotch!!!  Val has to hang up.  Moronica tries to act like a mother for once and kisses Val.  What a phony interaction.

Corazon Indomable #67 3 crazies and a crying toddler on one small island.

Married? ShutupDoris insists that’s a lie, and launches into another of her patented tirades.

Octavio and Ed are preparing for flight with Luciafer on board. Octavio wants Ed to keep quiet about Miguel and his little problems. Ed, the voice of reason, tells him he should stay out of their mess, but Octavio can’t help involving himself.

MA is at home congratulating herself over her anonymous call to the gov. ShutUpDoris must be having a hissy fit right about now. Check. Juanita comes in with the baby in a stroller to take her out for a walk and is bouncing around like she has to go to the bathroom and can barely hold on. Just go already, you’re making me have to go.  MA doesn’t notice and goes on to say how much she loves taking care of her baby’s needs. Finally MA looks at nanny and asks what’s wrong. Juanita tells her she’s worried because someone is watching their house. So it wasn’t because she was going to wet her pants. But why take the baby out on a walk if your worried about being watched?

Octavio is walking Lucia and the child through a plane hanger. She asks how Miguel is and he must be missing her, right? Lie, Octavio, Lie. Don’t involve yourself in their mess.

PEAM #112- 8/14/13: Some News Is Worse Than No News


Recap by Pablo

Lies can only be destroyed with bullets of truth

Elías is afraid. After Uri, Verónica is the most dangerous person in Monterrey. And she is on the loose!!

Raimunda's secret is public domain. Chatita convinced her to be truthful and now she is letting her hair down. As we all know, after seeing her mother get killed ''because she was a woman'' (by the hands of a very violent man), Raimunda denied her gender. Well, that was the past, because now Super Jesús is here to tell her to be herself, to prepare and study to be someone like Alma. See, Alma is a woman and nobody has killed her. Not all women get killed. Chatita is a woman and she has had a veeery looong life. Uri tried to kill Alma though, but she survived. You will too Raimunda, don't dress like a boy anymore, but better change that name. What about Ignacia? And your looks, we will help you. Ah! And don't worry about Valentina. She is just a girl and younger than you, but she has been exposed to so many adult situations that she knows more than me, Elías and Chatita together, she will understand your change... And soon you will be BFFs and could share make-up tips! 

Segment sponsored by Lala milk.

While Elías and Jesús give Raimunda a makeover, Chatita takes the opportunity to tell Valentina about ''the secret'', and I am not talking about the book by Rhoda Byrne. After opening the door, Valentina's jaw drops to the floor when she sees the first transgender girl in her life. Raimunda is wearing a white dress and matching ribbon bows in her hair. They hug each other while the adults smile satisfied and proud of all the good they have done. From here, straight to heaven!!

PEAM, Tuesday 8/13/13 (#111): My Friends Call Me Chatita. You Can Call Me Luisa.

Rogue rants and raves in Alma's office. Alma closes the door in hopes of muffling their conversation, but this is hilariously ineffective. The employees and Elias hear every word as Alma lets Rogelio have it (verbally, that is) with every complaint she's kept bottled up for all this time: She's the one who keeps the office running. He does nothing around here except screw around with her friend or the occasional secretary. He traipses in around noon only to work on his personal projects of dubious legality, like the time he got those "Turkish cigars" from that "warehouse." She used to put up with it because he was her novio, but that was a mistake!

Rogelio says he wants Alma to tell him EVERYTHING that goes on around the office from now on, IS THAT CLEAR? (He stands on his tippy-toes, which doesn't really help.) Alma says yes, and Rogue leaves, gloating. Alma begins to work up a hearty rage.

At Orion, Augusto marvels at the simplicity of the agreement that Chucho (and supposedly Elvis) worked out with the union. He wants to know how they got Romero to listen to reason. Chucho volunteers Elvis, who is admiring his reflection in the lenses of his sunglasses, to explain it all to old Gussie while Chucho takes care of some other business.

QBA: Hola everyone! I'm subbing for Eli tonight.  

Here are some screencaps to get us started. Full recap below.

He hears her singing . . .

Isa looks so pretty with her own hair, instead of that frightful wig. Let's hope they let her stick with her own locks from now on!

Working on a reconciliation.

Happy happy, joy joy. The reconciliation went well.

Paloma has an ominous dream about Rodrigo . . .

WHY WHY WHY?!?! Why, writers, why? You are just too cruel.

Poor heartbroken Rodrigo has the tender support of many loved ones.

RECAP SUMMARY with a plethora of screencaps.

We have a refrito with JAntos not sure he can forgive Maria, and Maria crying over it. Maria has a bright idea and we see her serenading JAntos outside of his pension room window. He seems unmoved at first, but doesn't move away from his balcony. When she climbs up the trellis to him, he smacks a passionate beso on her. Things are looking up for our couple.

Corazon Indomable, #66, Tuesday, 08/14/13 Lieutenant Octavio Narvaez of the Isla Dorada Navy, Army and Aviation Force is Oblivious no more. For now.


I always complain, so now I have to mention I quite enjoyed this episode, I feel like so much happened. Could this be because I had a shot of tequila before writing the recap? 
Don’t judge me, it was very good tequila. ¡Salud!
 *
I'll be editing it some more in the morning, gotta go to sleep now. 
 
At her house, Maria Alejandra is remembering Mohammed’s warning that Karim will accuse her of the assassination attempt if she doesn’t go to visit him. For once in her life, she seems scared – is she finally realizing that she’s been playing with very powerful men? No, not really, she is still reluctant to believe she could be accused.

Our two pilotontos read the letter that Octavio received at the end of last episode and it says – – – wait for it – – – the Governor gave Tav a new title, he named him lieutenant in the Isla Dorada Navy! Ed is sure later he’ll become a captain, a colonel, a commander. Tav is not that happy about it, he knows nothing about military life (or life in general, as far as I’m concerned); also, both guys agree that the isla is not that great when it comes to its Navy force – you know, like boats and stuff.
Regardless, Ed thinks Tav will look great in the white uniform (can’t argue here). Tav doesn’t feel like accepting the title, though, even if the pay would be much better, because that would mean him becoming a slave. So he decides to refuse the promotion (but can we call it that if he hasn’t even been in the field before?) and go talk to the Gov about it. And why not break up with Doris, too, finish the farce once and for all. Good luck with that, Lieutenant Narvaez!

Alone in his office, the Gov is thinking about the trouble he’ll have if the Police Chief discovers that he accepted the Emir’s bribe to allow the sale of the Casino.

Marina asks Damian where he gets the idea that she’s jealous.  He tells her he only speaks the truth.  She assures him he’s so wrong.  He doesn’t know her feelings at all.  You’re right replies Damian.  You have no feelings.  Your heart is made of stone.  With that he takes his leave.

Damian sees Lazaro and asks where’s he’s been.  Lazaro tells him that his mom went to see his uncle, the priest, and complained that he and his cronies are a bad influence.  But I don’t think so and my uncle agrees.  He promises to work extra hours to make up for the time lost.  Damian wants to know if what Bagre ways is true.  Did you find a woman?  Yes, replies Lazaro, but it’s not like that.  Jaz is my friend and we are in love.

Qué Bonito Amor #85 (Mex 123) Monday 8/12/13 Two Parties, a Wedding, and a Reconciliation


JNTR: Jorge Alfredo walks off the stage after Maria finishes “Si Nos Dejan” and Maria stifles her tears as best she can before taking her bow with the band. She does not hear the applause.

Sanchez Apartment: Susanito and his trumpet get home to find the apartment empty.

JNTR Musicians' Dressing Room / Club Room: Jorge Alfredo talks with Siete Mares while Maria talks with Fernando. Siete Mares talks about pride being a bad thing while Maria thinks she has lost Jorge Alfredo forever.  Later Ana comes in asking why Maria doesn't give Ruben a chance [She is truly blind]. Maria counters by asking her whether she loves Siete Mares or is just using him to hurt Fernando. Ana looks like Maria has hit a nerve.

PEAM #110 - 8/12/13 - A Funeral is the Least of Our Problems


Refrito, Elias kisses Valentina goodnight, she doesn't look too happy but the green stars make her close her eyes.  Jesús tries to take his leave of Aida since it is the evening when Agosto demands he attend him in his office for an emergency.  Oops, Alma has prepared a romantic heart laden table an donned her sexy red dress as she dreams of former kisses.

Rogelio tells Alejandra that he has an important client for her, Nick Donovan.  Even though he smells odd, she would rather cuddle with Rogelio but she is won over by the stack of cash he hands her from the conveniently located briefcase full of bills.  The photographer is burning up his memory card as Alejandra leaves and Virus-onica arrives.  Sanson does his usual disapproving growl.  She thinks Rogelio smells odd too.  Did I miss a product placement or what? Why does Rogelio smell funny?  In his hurry to pin Virus to the couch, she nearly crushes Sanson but he barks to shoo them off to the bedroom upstairs. Que asco.

Aida has to call Alma to tell her that Jesús is detained in a meeting with Agosto so she sits and daydreams of their romantic moments instead.

Corazon Indomable #65, 8/12/2013: Inconvenient Wives; Karim and the Chief Put the Squeeze on Mari

El Emir Karim’s wife, who also has lovely blue eyes, and her father, whose fake beard is worse than Teo’s fake hair, have been teleported to Isla Dorada to Karim’s hospital bedside. Mrs. Karim wonders if it would not have been better for them to put Karim in the teleporter machine to the Emerites, so that he can receive medical care there. The doctor interrupts to say he’s about to look over Karim’s wound, so the lady better leave the room. Her father insists that in her delicate condition (I guess Karim did fulfill his duty and plant his seed), it’s best she leave and protect the health of the heir. He thinks they should go speak to the police.

Ed bets Tav that he is such a weakling, that he’ll end up marrying Doris. Tav denies it, but like a coward, refuses to answer the phone, in case it IS La Hija del Gobernador. Ed takes the call and fields Doris’ one-hundred- and-one questions about Tav’s whereabouts, pretending he has no idea where his friend is. (And just why would he be hanging out in Tav’s room if Tav wasn’t there?) Miguel rushes in to gossip about the drama at the casino the night before.  Tav wants to know if Mari is ok. Miguel is more concerned about himself. The police intend to interview everyone who was present, and his fugitive status may get him into hot water. Ed doesn’t think the police will be so stupid as to not figure out Miguel’s a wanted man. Tav, caring brother that he is, is more concerned about Maria Alejandra’s chances of being detained. He wants to help her.

Corazon Indomable #64, 8/9/2013: Coup d’etats, New Business Partnerships, & Tav Grows a Conscious

Cece's recap is up!  

Recap by Cece  

The Old: Raiza is informing Maria Alejandra of the recent agreements between Emir and Carola. Raiza insists that she can be trusted and MA complies. Contrary to Raiza’s advice, MA will be heading to the celebration tonight.

The New
Miguel is reading Lucia’s letter of desperation. She can no longer take his absence, she wants to sell so she can be by his side and Miguel will also be able to see his son.  She’s spends the rest of the letter pouring out the little love (didn’t know she even had that in her) that’s in that hatred filled heart of hers.  Miguel looks not so pleased at this revelation. He does not want her to come and see how far he’s fallen. He blames his situation on her sins.  Because of her sins, he has murdered a man and that will forever be on his conscious. He also blames her for losing what he loves most…. his lands (too bad MA will get her hands on those soon!). So he doesn’t have to think about anything, he prefers to drown his sorrows with alcohol (yea, like that’s not going to get you into more problems. What’s wrong with you brothers? Please, just once act like you have a brain!).  Raiza stops for a visit and tells him to stop drinking (she almost seems sincere). Miguel acts surprised and tells her not her too (oh gee, sorry for caring). Raiza reminds him he has to work tonight, and to do so he needs to have a clear mindset. He tells her that Lucia wants to come to La Famosa Isla, but Raiza firmly tells him to say no way! Raiza comes up with a plan for Octavio to somehow convince Lucia to stay at the ranch.
