C I Cap. 73 8/22/13 They May Be Casino Women with Dubious Reputations, But They Have Hearts of Gold.
Many of the short scenes have
been grouped for a smoother flow, so some may be out of sequence. The primary focus this episode is Miguelito’s
continuing medical/financial crisis.
Previously—Supplicant Lucia asks MA about a loan.
Denied! MariAle says the ranch is not worth anything, shows her IOUs signed by
Miguel.
Octavio comes to the Gov and explains
he can’t marry Doris due to problems delaying the divorce. The Gov’s perturbed, since he has plans for
his own marriage with MariAle.
New
Action Begins in the Headquarters of the Love Gov
The Gov ponders what will he do to make this woman his wife? Doris enters the office and her father says “We need to talk.” Not good news, as he says no marriage due to stalled divorce for Octavio. As the fiancée of a married man, she would damage their family reputation, so she must wait. She says no lo accepto—she refuses. (Are we surprised?)

Later, she hashes over the problem with
Mariana. Her friend offers some sage advice:
it’s out of your hands, you’re not rejected, stop seeing Tav and find a
better boyfriend. In short, grow
up. Doris, of course, thinks she knows
better, she’ll wait for him and sooner or later (tarde o temprano) he’ll be hers.

Qué Bonito Amor #93 (Mex 131) Thursday 8/22/13 Que Bonita Nada
Ruben goes for his morning jog and escapes into a little wooded area by the road. The Mexicops bitch about Ruben getting away from them as they stop to catch their breath.
Jalisquito screams about Fernando getting hauled off. The cops say he's being arrested for being Santos' accomplice.
The Mexicops get into their car and drive right past Ruben's hiding place. He calls to inform someone that Santos has been arrested.
Cops!LA call home to tell them they've caught Santos. Curtis tells the henchcops to give Santos a minute to say goodbye to his lady. Derecho tells someone to keep an eye on Maria.
Fernando isn't giving the Mexicops any information. Fernando maintains they weren't helping any criminals, he doesn't know jack about money laundering, and probably he doesn't know anything about birthin' no babies. He goes a little poetic, talking about his alleged "complicity" being an act of faith.
Maria and her sad eyes tug at Curtis' heartstrings.

I Am So Glad I Missed The Wedding
La Tempestad Capitulo 19
Friday, 23 August, 2013
Following is a very condensed recap of tonight’s show:
The Wedding
- Ester,
still lovely in her wedding gown with white lace shrug, stands up in the middle
of the patio to make an announcement; Her husband, Capitan Damian Fabre, will
not be attending the wedding fiesta because of a problem with La Tempestad. Daddy Don Fulgencio, who is also standing,
stares her down but she continues, “Just because he is not here does not mean
we cannot have fun!” Estercita orders the band to play some really fun music
and grabs her Dad to get him to dance. After some truly remarkable bad dancing
in front of the whole town, including a sort of solo gyrating dance with her own
wedding veil, the drunken bride staggers over to Jose and grabs him for the
next dance.
- Mayuya
rats out Ester to her mom, no she cannot tell a lie, Ester is drunk. Delfina is
stricken as well hear Ester shouting to Jose and any one else who will listen
that another woman is in love with her man.

PEAM# 118- Malcriado Continues and In This Corner- Tiburcio for Round 1
I will put the recap up later. I've been invited to A Latin/Salsa Throw Back Thursday Party. So I'm off.
I've given Malquaides a new name- Malcriado or Malo for short. He is beyond spoiled, he is disgusting.
I've given Malquaides a new name- Malcriado or Malo for short. He is beyond spoiled, he is disgusting.
The past
Alma is reaming Marisela for not having the financial
report. Marisela reminds Alma that
she is not Jesus, who is a jack-of-all-trades. Alma reminds Marisela that Avon has to win the contest
against Orion.
Vicky is crying to Dr. Phil aka Jesus about her relationship
with Malcriado, who threatens her job any time she wants to break off the
romance. This is harassment.
Ferny asks Xochy to move in with him on his computer
Jesus can’t believe his ears. He asks Vicky if Don Augusto knows but she says that if she
tells him nothing will happen.
Vicky needs help in defending herself against Malcriado and kisses Jesus
for offering to talk to Augusto in her defense and of course at the precise moment,
in walks Malcriado. He has a
tantrum. He hates Jesus. Jesus stands up to Malcriado who is
going to lie to Augusto that Vicky is harassing him and when he went into
Jesus’ office they were doing the nasty.
The present
Meanwhile Julio implements his trick against Malcriado. He touches Malo all over calling him
bro, while placing itching powder on him.
Malo starts scratching and saying that Vicky isn’t on his level. (Right,
she is not a 2 year old) Malo runs
out of the office scratching and screaming that he has fleas-and Aida and Julio
are beside themselves in laughter. Vicky tries to give Jesus another hug and he
makes it clear that the woman in his life is and will be Alma Montemayor.
Jesus investigates the laughter and he tells Julio that he
doesn’t approve of such jokes. Jesus scolds Julio for the joke and tells him
more or less two wrongs don’t make a right and that they should concentrate on
the contest.
Ferny tells Xochy that she works like the Eveready bunny (a
robot without batteries) Xochy needs some time to digest Ferny’s invitation.
Chatita tells Panfilo to forget about her and to leave the
ribbon crown on. Cricket Face.
Alma once again gives Marisela a chance to recoup
herself. Chatita visits Alma and
forgets why she came to talk to Alma.
Oh right it’s about Jesus.
Cantu and Rogue enter the office and Elias wants to talk to
Rogue. Cantu is told to activate
the plan, that I’m sure has to do with Chatita’s apartment.
Val shares- Rogue’s –Grumpy nickname with her mother. He is from a story that my Papa Jesus
tells me. She asks her mother to
let her see her friend Ray to say goodbye.
Elias lets Rogue that having Val live with him is not a good
idea. He knows that Rogue and Vero
are not in love and that this is a plan that Vero is maneuvering against
Jesus. Elias lets Rogue know that
Val better not get hurt or else.
Alma and Chatita chat about everything on Jesus’ plate. The workaholic boss, the never ending
work schedule, new executive job, Val, Vero and that Jesus is not sleeping or
eating. They both don’t get to see
him and they are very worried about him.
He is under a lot of pressure. Elias is photographing some new perfumes
with Marisela’s help. He is having
difficulty concentrating.
Jesus lets Julio know that the contest is against Avon,
mainly Alma.
Augusto wants to know what foolishness Malcriado is telling
him. Jesus asks him- where should
I begin. Why does Augusto continue
to enable Malo?
Jesus asks to speak to Augusto alone. Malcriado has another tantrum because
he wants to hear what is being said.
Jesus tells Augusto the truth about Vicky and reminds him that his focus
should be on the contest. Augusto
is pleased with Jesus and his dedication to Orion. Maximo was right to hire
him.
Alma is afraid that Jesus is changing and that he is under
so much stress, he will get sick.
It’s a real test of their love.
Val goes over to see Ray 2.0 and Vero can’t believe her
eyes. A neighbor eyes Vero’s shoes, they look ridiculous. Like something Herman Munster or
Frankenstein would wear. Val tells Ray about her new home with “The Bad Man”
and how she doesn’t want to live there. Ray has an idea. Ray wants know where
Rogue lives and the girls plan to distract Vero. Val goes to see Chatita while Ray tries to sneak into the
car. Ray distracts Vero with a
little dog. The dog is so cute and
Vero is insulting the dog. Ray
gets into the car. Vero feels a different energy in the car and Val dismisses
it as needing to see Chatita.
Alma and Elias are working for the introduction of the
perfume- Infinity Seduction. Elias and Alma talk about how Vero moved into with
Rogue to only hurt Jesus. They are using a child to get their way. Alma reminds
Elias that the information regarding the launch of the new perfume line is
confidential.
Vero arrives at Rogue’s house and they share a sloppy kiss
after Vero sprites Rogue’s mouth with some Listerine. Rogue is thrilled to see
Val petting Sanson. - Yeah right! Rogue tries to be nice and Val greets him as
Hi Mr. Grumpy. Vero tells Rogue
that it’s from some ridiculous story that Jesus told her.
Vero and Rogue argue about Val yelling and Sanson
barking. Que the heck!!
Elias’ lawyer visits Jesus and brings some good news. The judge has issued the order for the
DNA paternity test. Jesus is yelling at someone on the phone about something that
is going to be presented today.
Julio is worried about Jesus. He wonders if the job is making him sick. He took this job to provide a better
life for Val but he misses Alma.
He can’t resign becaseu he has a committed himself via a contract. He is helping Chatita keep her
apartment and has promised some gifts for Val. Jesus is becoming Augusto-
yelling, screaming and working.
Julio asks –where is the old Jesus? Jesus, the lover, the nice guy the
friend to everyone. The job is
making him bitter and he has a lot of problems to solve.
Marisela is working diligently on her report. Jessica is worried about Cardenas’
allergies and Susan is happy to have Panfilo to herself. Gil has a cart named
Carito de Tentempie- with light, healthy foods and shakes.
Vero’s lawyer visits Vero and tells her not to impede on the
DNA test. Jesus will have parental
rights if he is Val’s biological father. Ray has a frog for Val to use for
round 1 with Rogue. Tiburcio, the frog will be a part of the plan.
Val interrupts the conversation with the lawyer. The lawyer has a strategy; it has to do
with deny Jesus any rights with Val.
At the Orion meeting, Malcriado is acting like an a$$ as
usual. Jesus asks for 5 minutes and Malcriado goes on his rant. Augusto hates
delays. Jesus needs to make a call
but not on the cell because Augusto hates the cell. Five minutes have passed
and with 16 seconds left, Julio runs in with a box. Previcap is their new product. Everyone but Malcriado congratulates Jesus.
Marisela wants to clear the air with Elias. She loves Ricardo and will fight for
him. Elias will be a friend that she can count on. She hugs him and of course Ricardo walks in on them and sees
it differently.
Marisela tries to explain but to no avail.
Elias tries to explain to Ricardo what he saw. He tells him
that Marisela loves him and they are just friends and he asks Ricardo to go and
speak to Marisela as a favor and Ricardo doesn’t. What a fool!!
Jesus calls Alma and tells her that he needs to do wash,
clean, sweep. Alma will be there,
toot suite.
Jessica asks Cardenas if he can invite her family to the
wedding. There are 17 family
members coming from Puerto Rico.
Elias shows up at Rogue’s to see Val. She asks why didn’t he
call first, well Beyotch you don’t answer your phone. She won’t let him see Val,
says that she is sleeping and Rogue interrupts.
Val puts Tiburcio the frog in Rogue’s bed. Round 1
Outside of Orion- Jesus recognizes Marta
Coming attractions:
Vero uses Val as revenge but Val has a plan of her own.

La Tempestad Cap #18 Wed, 21 August - Estercita pitches a fit and Dam strikes out
Alternate Title: Estercita, you’re the best act in town but he’s just not that into you.
Has The Wedding March ever sounded more like an execution march than at this poor excuse for a wedding? Must be those drums. I fully expect a firing squad to be waiting inside the church for Dam Fab. But no, it’s worse. It’s Padre T and he’s ready to do the dirty deed. “Up against the wall. Do you take this woman?....”
Pestercita has never looked more lovely, or more victorious. She Sí, Aceptos muy rapido. DamFab not so much. Muchas caras impactadas throughout the church, while Dam daydream-delays his destiny. All eyes are on him...
Marina is on the boat tapping her feet and ordering Bagre to fire up the engines. She’s tired of waiting for El Cap. Sweetie, may I remind you that you are now down THREE out of SIX crew. Dam, Lolo and Laz are at the church! As awesome as Marina is I doubt she can pull off this fishing trip.
Back at the execution Padre T urges Dam to respond. Do you accept the annoying one to be your wife? Dam reluctantly Sí, Aceptos and looks ill as he thought bubbles “until death do us part, urp.” We get a quick church scan of who is happy and who is annoyed by this union. The wedding rituals continue joylessly for DamFab, Estercita grins. More glum church scenes ensue. And the “kiss”? Painful.

Corazon Indomable #72 What's that buring smell? Could it be Oblivio's neurons firing?
Hi all. Eli's computer got a virus, so I'm doing the recap today.
So Karim proposes marriage to MA, and Octavio proposes marriage between JA and Ester, well, actually insists on marriage for them.
ShutUpDoris is in a bathing suit this time talking about the usual with Mariana.
Octavio is back at the ranch for another repeat discussion about Ester marrying JA. Ester is so in love that she is willing to live in a shack. Except once the honeymoon phase wears off and that shack has no air conditioning during those hot Mexican summers and a toddler who wants you to hold him all day long and your skin just sticks together in the heat, I think you will regret your decision.

I am subbing tonight, everyone!
BRIEF SUMMARY. Recap is finally done. PUT A FORK IN IT! (Some scenes will be condensed and combined for clarity.)
Refrito with Justo and Amalia commiserating about everything. Justo is grieved because first he lost his wife, and now, apparently JAntos. Amalia is just feeling sorry for herself (as usual). Meanwhile, JAntos and Maria are doing the camping out thing. Justo feels so bad because he wasn't as close to JAntos as he should have been. Amalia can't keep her yap shut, at this sad moment for Justo she again "kindly" admonishes JAntos because he "promised" he'd take care of Maria.
Maria and JAntos are making lunch with a fish he caught. JAntos is apologetic for their predicament and Maria is reassuring him it's okay. He blames Orange Guiliano for their situation.
Justo and Amalia continuing to discuss the sad state of affairs; Amalia thinking that JAntos didn't really love Maria and Justo saying that we don't understand the power of love. Meanwhile, Maria and JAntos share a moment of contentment after their fish lunch.

PEAM #117-8/21/13: Marisela's Love Is Like A Check With No Funds In Ricardo's Bank of Affection
Recap By Pablo
Laughter is the best medicine and love is the best diet
There's nothing better after a night of passion, than to go to work without having breakfast, because a kiss is more fulfilling than a whole box of cereal. And it doesn't make you fat! Ah! Those low calorie sighs! AND THE MEMORIES!!!
Read more »
On the other side of the coin, there's nothing better after an attempt of a passionate night, than spent in jail. Fernando and Xóchitl were caught in the car K-I-S-S-I-N-G and that is lewd conduct. I wonder what would have happened if they were sitting on a tree?
Patricia, who looks like Inspector Gadget, gives Alma the fruits of her condition as a klepto to see if she can return it. Looks like Patricia needs occupational therapy because she does that only when she is under a lotta stress. And now she wants to know every naughty detail of last night's lovemaking between Alma and Jesús, since she was the one planning the event. She asks if they did the geisha position, the little goat on the cliff and the 75-6. Besides taking what is not hers, she is very inquisitive... All that energy should be put to work looking for a job, but since she has never done anything else than sleep with Rogelio (and in that area she is so efficient that she even gives Alma advice!), unless it is trying out mattresses in FAMSA, I don't see how can she get a job! Maybe join forces with Alejandra?

La Tempestad, Capitulo 17. August 20th 2013.
Lo De Ayer:
DamFab and Marina chat, they dance, he sings Besame Mucho to her, he asks for a kiss, she is not feeling well and needs some air, he takes her outside. They leave. Bagre tells Lolo that maybe tomorrow there will be no wedding. Outside, DamFab tells Marina that she was brave to come to the bar since it isn't the place for a someone so refined as she is. Marina tells DamFab that she isn't a refined woman. She's a dummy. She never imagined falling in love. She thought that would never happen to her. DamFab tells Marina that she is trembling just like the day he kissed her. DamFab and Marina kiss.
Lo Nuevo:
Marina stops kissing. DamFab tells Marina to not say anything and to just let herself go. Marina passes out into DamFab's manly muscular arms.
At the plaza, Esthercita and Mayuya are happily enjoying their popsicle sticks. A drunk man approaches them and congratulates Esthercita on her upcoming nuptials. Esthercita and Mayuya are disgusted by the drunk and move away. The drunk tells Esthercita that DamFab is having his bachelor party at the bar. Esthercita wants to go and check in on DamFab. Mayuya doesn't want to go to the bar because the women that go into the bar are women that do not have the best reputation. Esthercita drags Mayuya to the bar because she just has to see what her future husband is up to.

CI #71 An Inconvenient Impass: Maricruz Gets The Jump On Octavio And Another Marriage Proprosal
Cap #71
As we jet back to Gold Island for another glimpse of All That Glitters, a mewling Miguel badgers a wary Octavio into covering Miguelito’s medical expenses out of his half of the ranch should things get worse for the baby boy instead of better. Tav does the decent thing and agrees, but not before ripping his bro a new one for borrowing against their ranch just so he could squander [despilferrar = waste/vernacular trans.: piss away] it all gambling and boozing it up instead of thinking he might need it for his wife and child--not that thinking ahead is generally a personality trait either Narvaez brother has displayed much if at all to date….

Qué Bonito Amor #91 (Mex 129) Tuesday 8/20/13 New Season of Survivor: By the Waters of Babylon
This is Anita reporting in, a last minute substitution. Apparently CBS and UNI have collaborated for
a new season of Survivor. Stay tuned for
the first episode. This is the preview. Meanwhile, we have a
recap to cobble together from all the little snippets we saw. Bear with me, please. Here goes (quick and dirty and pretty much
from memory).
What you saw yesterday, I won’t dwell on mucho, so we can
get to the good stuff. Wendy and Justo
have their little father-daughter talk about her fear of OJ and fear for her defenseless
little unborn hijo. Justo mans up and
swears he’ll finish off OJ, no matter what the price (even though he just promised Wendy to dedicate his life to his nieto).
Next we see JAntos and Maria exiting the taxi by the side of
the road in a deserted, thickly wooded area.
As soon as the taxi departs, guess who drive up, OJ and his henchmen in
one car and the other full of the U.S.-Mexican Joint Task Force of Keystone Koppers. By this time Maria and JA have taken off full
speed ahead deep into the woods. (Please,
just tighten your beanies for the rest of this.) OJ goes first and
apparently knows exactly which way they went.
The USMJTFKK are next and they also know exactly where the two fugitive
lovers have gone, but don’t see or hear OJ.
Oh, dear. JAntos and
Maria have been trapped at the edge of a cliff overlooking some angry, churning water. OJ has them in his sights, The USMJTFKK
have them covered. Give UP, we’ve got
you. Maria and Jorge Alfredo look at
each other and then look down to see this rushing, swirling white water
and sure death. JA has time to expound
to Maria, “Let’s go where no one can judge us.”
With only our love. One, Two,
Three, JUMP. Rats, thinks OJ, he hopes they drown. Rats, think the Koppers, missed them by a
hair. Jorge Alfredo and Maria disappear
into their watery grave.
Hoy
(Some scenes are cut & pasted together as should have
been done in the editing room at Televisa and not on CarayCaray.)
At Amalia’s
She’s snuffling that her only reason to live is for her
daughters. Concho appears and gets
Amalia all riled up. Concho swears he’s worried about Maria How dare he even show his face after all the harm
he has caused them. He should be ashamed. Concho tries to reason with her that
it’s all in the past. Amalia hits him (just
figuratively) with the information that it was Elvira that murdered her
grandchild. Concho doesn’t believe
it. Who told her that, anyway? Amalia answers that it was Mirna.
At Lourdes’ &
Elvira’s
Concho is livid. He
confronts Elvira with what he learned about Maria’s accident. Elvira is in
denial.
Elivra—I didn’t push her. She fell.
Lourdes—Tell the truth now.
She wants to know who told Concho.
Concho—Mirna
Elvira stomps off blaming her parents for taking Mirna and
Maria’s side and never being there for her.
Lourdes admits to being at fault for raising her to be such a spoiled beyotch,
but Concho shares the blame as well.
They gave her everything she wanted, but they didn’t give her any values. Lourdes tries to make Concho see that they
have to be together in this situation and leave all the rancor behind.
At JNTR
Mirna is desperately looking for the “key” to her spoils of
war. She’s quite loud about it. She’s sure Pinchi or Lalo hid it somewhere
else. HaHa, you don’t know it, but the
two payasos are right within earshot and listening. They want to know what she’s looking for.
Maybe they ought to tell Concho and Amalia. (P.S.
I’m pretty sure she found the key.)
She tries to distract them by getting all sexy up in their faces. It
probably would have worked. We’ll never know.
Elvira shows up and tries to throw her out. Mirna doesn’t belong there
any more. HaHa, you don’t know it, but
Maria, who owns half the bar, remember, hired her back and Mirna’s on her side
now. Elvira is livid. (I guess it runs
in the family.) She takes it out on the poor barkeeps—Get back to work, idiots,
she screams.

PEAM, Tuesday 8/20/13 (#116): As the Stomach Turns
A Secret So Secret, Even Evil Elvis Doesn't Know, Which Proves He's an Idiot Like His Dad
Chucho is devastated when Evil Elvis gleefully rejects his loan application. Julio feels guilty, remembering all the grief that he and the other Sillies put Chucho through when he started at Avon; but Chucho says those little pranks were not even in the same league as what Melquiades just did.
What's more, Chucho's innards are still churning. He confides to Julio that there must be something really wrong with him, because for the first time in his life, he's not even hungry. Really! Julio realizes that this must be very serious indeed. It must be the stress. (Chucho then takes a sip of coffee, which cannot possibly help a distressed digestive tract...)
Chucho has a stressful conversation with Alma about a Very Important Dinner that he really doesn't want to deal with, and then Augusto wants to talk about a contest. But Chucho shows him the rejected loan application, and Augusto shakes his head and calls Vicky and tells her to make sure the loan is approved first thing tomorrow.
Augusto doesn't want to talk about Evil Elvis, but Chucho insists and Augusto explains, reluctantly and with great shame, that Melquiades is indeed his son. Augusto has been married three times and had seven children, and that was expensive enough. But then one day his second wife's maid Otilia let him know she'd given him an additional child, Melquiades. It was confirmed with a DNA test.
Augusto says that nobody else knows about this - not even Melqui himself. Chucho looks stunned. I'm sorry to say this makes all three of them look like idiots: Augusto for thinking no one suspects; Chucho for not suspecting; and Evil Elvis for not realizing that he's getting extra-special treatment.
Anyway, Augusto never gets around to telling Chucho about the contest, whatever it is. He lets Chucho go home, leaving Julio and Aida alllll alone in the office. After much hemming and hawing, they agree to go out for coffee.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 16. August 20, 2013.
Bagre
asks Damian if he really wants to leave his boat. Damian feels it’s no longer
his. Bagre thinks there is still time to recoup it. Damian says he needs to
distance himself from her. He will go crazy if he can’t love her freely. Bagre
suggests going out for drinks.
On
deck, Damian runs into Marina and asks her what’s she’s doing here. You know
while you are still looking for another captain, I’m still the boss here. Marina informs him that unfortunately he has
no authority anymore. Why is that ask Damian. Are you the new captain? The crew
laughs. No, Senior Fabre replies Marina. Damian reminds her to call him
Captain. She tells him she has news. What news he asks. Hernan chooses to make
a grand entrance. The news is that I am the new captain of “La Tempestad”. Marina
needs my help and I am not going to leave her alone. Damian laughs at this. He
tells Marina that Hernan has no experience in the fishing business. Hernan says
he doesn’t think that “La Tempestad” is no different than any other boat and he
has a lot of experience. (What
experience? You might go fishing for pleasure, but I’m pretty sure that’s about
it) Anyway, Damian says this not something easy that anyone can do. Hernan disagrees. Marina needs some
modifications and increased production.
Damian tells him not to change a thing on the boat. If you do, I will
kill you. Marina tells him to stop and

Corazon Indomable,
Episode #70, Monday, August 19, 2013 –
“One Step Closer to Discovering MariAle’s True Identity and
to the End of our Protagonist’s Not-So Fairy Tale Marriage”
Recap by LatinaInMD
Karim meets with the governor and repeats his claim that he lost
his throne thanks to MariAle. The guv
tells him he doubts it was her fault, but Karim assures him he is already
preparing his payback against her.
Doris and Mariana appear at the hospital to show Octavio they
care about his nephew’s well-being, but as usual Doris ends up ordering Octavio
to take her out to lunch later, once he’s had a chance to see his nephew.
Speaking of meals, Ed and flight attendant Sonia are having breakfast
at a restaurant when Angel and Araceli walk in arm-in-arm. Sonia notes that Araceli looks quite
happy. An annoyed Ed says he can’t
believe Araceli could have replaced him in just two days. He glares at them and notices as Angel cups
Araceli’s hand in his hands.
As usual, Octavio tries to say no to Doris but quickly gives in
to her wishes, noting how “generous” she is in allowing him a whole ten minutes
to see his nephew before they leave.
Octavio goes in to see his nephew, and both Miguel and Lucia
immediately beg him to go borrow money on their behalf, as Miguel is too
embarrassed to do it himself. Octavio
agrees to do it, but says he will not sign the IOU himself. He will only pick it up and bring it back for
Miguel to sign it so he can get the money.
Angel now caresses Araceli’s face, and Sonia notes that it looks
more serious than she imagined. Ed
figures that’s why Araceli didn’t want him at the store anymore and wasn’t
willing to give him more time to get serious about their relationship. Sonia points out he can’t have it both ways –
love her or leave her.

Qué Bonito Amor #90 (Mex 128) Monday 8/19/13 The Great Escape
JNTR: Amalia bitchslaps Elvira over what she did to Maria. At her pretentious reaction, Amalia tells her that what goes around comes around. The cops head for the paso de gato. The explosion happens and a fire begins. Both Maria and Jorge
Alfredo are unconscious. Amalia panics and insists on going
upstairs. The Mexican cops start trying to force the door. Fernando
and Susanito go upstairs. Giuliano gloats as his two accomplices ask
for their pay. Rubén suggests that they all leave. The SWAT cops
don't allow them to leave the area. Susanito returns to tell the
other good folk that the explosion was in Maria's dressing room.
Amalia freaks, Elvira gloats in the corner, Rubén looks edgy.
Fernando yells through the door while trying to dislodge it with the
fire extinguisher. The flames grow. Meanwhile Elvira has the gall
to gloat at Amalia saying that there is always payback. Mirna is
about to go after her but is prevented from doing so. Remedios tells
Elvira off, however, saying that it is a pity that someone so pretty
could have a soul so black. Giuliano enters, gloating quietly, not
realizing that Justo and Wendy are behind him. Justo demands to know
what he is doing there. Amalia tries to comfort her younger daughters.

PEAM #115. 08/19/13 - How Low Can You Go? Misery Abounds and a Rash is Unleashed
This picture called Santa Fe Colibri has nothing to do with the story line which is a pack of miseries but I thought we could all think about something beautiful like this little creature while we hear this tale of woe.
Rogelio assures us he is the director and Alma counters with how is he going to explain his useless azz to Pancho Lopez, the big boss. She accuses him of being a jerk who is jealous of her love for Jesús. As usual, having no way to refute these truths, he retreats in a huff.
Back at Orion we again see MalMelquiades come in with his silly Elvis steps trying to make fun of Jesús and then when Jesús and Julio simply leave the room preferring to ignore his silliness, he brushes her neck and tries make time with Aida on his way out. She is not having it either.
Ricardo complains to Xochi that Maricela is unhappy because she is a lousy fake and recounts how she isn't a princess or even rich and instead is the lowly daughter of the lowly janitor Panfilo.
Again we see Valentina pronounce the only accurate description of Rogelio - MALO. Yup, out of the mouth of babes. Rogelio simply cannot believe there is a female alive that isn't enthralled with him but she isn't his cup of scotch either.
Jesús is finally filling his Lic. in on Rogelio's activity against him, threatening Valentina using Yuri. and his brother has a bad conscience trying to hide Rogelio's illegal activities and money laundering scheme.
Valentina tries to play with Sanson who is good and watches wondering as we all do while Rogelio fears Valentina's touch on Sanson and Veronica is screeching that Val must not touch the dirty dog. Later, Rogelio who has no idea what to do around a child, suggests she go out and play in traffic (not really but he fearfully lets her go play in the yard with Sanson. At least girl and dog are happy to be step children of the new family unit. Valentina is right to be looking askance, she is about to be swallowed up in a house where none of the adults give a fig about her.

Porque el Amor Manda #114: Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Veronica does not succeed in smothering Rogue, more's the pity. She promises to pick Vale up at school. (Will she be able to find it?) Rogue points out that she keeps talking about how much she loves her daughter, yet she still uses her as a tool. He may not have human children, but he has Sanson, and -- Vero interrupts that he's going to come home one day and find that dog in the oven. What a fun couple.
As if Rogue giving advice on family life isn't bizarre enough, Paty's back at Alma's, giving her a lecture on romance. Men! First they're all blue-princey, and then before you know it they're too busy to see you. And caray, the perils of the long-distance relationship! (All the way across Monterrey, she means.) Love is like a plant! It must be carefully tended! Alma tells her not to be such a Debbie Downer...but she does look worried.

Ahoy, mis Tempestad Maties. I am skylarking a bit today, so please gather on the pier. Umbrellas, and sunblock are being provided as well as drinks like rum punch, grog, boilermakers, sangria, tequila sunrises and seabreezes are being served for your sipping pleasure. Spyglasses are also included for well, spying.
This recap will not be in any order, some scenes have been combined for better and smoother flow of the recap.
The Refrito:
Nero and Herny follow Commandante Robles. They are pithed cause can't be moving the merchandise around when the Commandante is in town. They are losing all types of money. Well Nero suggests that they have a couple options, kill the Commandante, have him killed or have him have a tragic accidente! Herny tells Nero to not be stupid, rolls up the window on the SUV and puts his sunglasses on.
ShutupRosy (thanks CI recapping team) is at the church witching to the Padre about Laz being mixed up in bad ways and that girl Lu seems so much older than Laz. Padre doesn't see the problem. Love is good. Que??? from ShutupRosy. Lu just kind of appeared. Padre likes Lu. ShutupRosy thinks that Laz is a "boy" too young for marriage. Shut Up Rosy!
Laz is at the Tempestad staring at Lolo. Well Lolo doesn't like it and finally Laz apologizes for this previous broom to the neck incident. Lolo forgives but don't eva do that again. Lolo thought it was great that Laz wanted to defend his mujer, but not the way he did that. Lolo will be teaching Laz to fire a gun, the pirates are the excuse, but guns aren't toys and he has to do all Lolo says. Agreed! Now Laz is running off to see Jaz.
Becky and Bea discuss Herny and then of course that DamFab guy. Becky doesn't think that Marina would fall for some poor fisherman, no siree Bob she wouldn't until Becky gets a load of him coming up the street. Of course Becky changes her mind right quick and would jump into a sea of sharks for this guapo. Yummy!
