Qué Bonito Amor #116 (Mex 154) Tuesday 9/24/13 Time to face the music
Ladies- Parts one and two are up
I'm going to do this in two parts, first what's going on in Mexico and then the happenings in El Lay, that way I won't have to jump back and forward.
In Mexico Amalia and the girls are out on the street, Aaron offers Paloma a place to keep their furniture, everyone is devastated by being kicked out of their homes (see, this is why sometimes it's better to own, rather than rent), Mancia has taken to the streets and is trying to make extra money by reading peoples fortunes using the tarot cards, she tells Irasema that a card keeps coming up and it bothers her because it means nothing good is on the horizon, Irasema tells her that the last thing they need is more bad luck.
Vanessa and Aaron are discussing Paloma's woes and Aaron tells Vanessa not to make fun of Palomas situation, then he confesses that he really digs Paloma and wants to be with her, even if it means that he loses the bet he made with Vanessa. I like this kid.

La Tempestad Cap #42. September 24th 2013. DamFab Gets A Much Needed DamHaircut At The Prison
Mexico City
EstherHada asks Ernie if he's sure that he wants to marry her. Ernie says of course I do. You are going to give me my primogenito (first born). Macario, who looks like Powder with a horrible looking wig, congratulates the nauseating couple. He's sure that their child will bring happiness to their lives. He tells EstherHada that he's sure that in these circumstances Ernie would give his life for EstherHada. The Patio isn't so sure about that one, Macario. Ernie wants to make a toast, but Powder err I mean Macario doesn't think its prudent that EstherHada be drinking given the circumstance. But Ernie, who is not father of the year material, says let her do it for this occasion. It is not everyday that you have a bun in the oven. They all toast to Ernie's future wife and first born. Gag!
Back in R-Laydee
The commotion continues. DamFab makes a DamSpeech. He wants everyone to be calm. Crew wants to be taken into custody with DamFab. One for all and all for one like The Three Musketeers. You gotta love these guys. They are so loyal to DamFab and care about him so much. He's DamLucky to have friends like these. Anyway, DamFab doesn't want them to resort to violence to free him because it could cause problems for them. He assures them that all will be well. DamFab is being taken away. Marina yells to the judge that DamFab is innocent and asks for DamFab to be released. Judge says that DamFab was tried according to the law and there isn't anything he can do. Fulgencio takes this opportunity to call DamFab a murderer and mentions that crap about the owner of sailboat having seen DamFab put the explosives on the sailboat. Mercedes yells at Fulgencio that all that is a lie. She will find the proof to prove it. Fulgencio asks her where the proof is. Mercedes says that unfortunately she lost the original documents but she will get them. Oso mentions how someone tried to drive them off the road to prevent Mercedes from showing the proof to the court. Fulgencio says that without that proof, if it does indeed exist, there isn't anything they can do. DamFab will have to serve his sentence. Which reminds me, they never did say what that sentence would be. 20 años maybe? It is always 20 años in novela land. DamFab and Fulgencio stare at each other. DamFab gives Fulgencio a if looks could kill stare. Jose tells Fulgencio that they'll appeal. Fulgencio shows Jose his hand as if telling him talk to the hand dude. Mercedes tells DamFab that they are all there for him. DamFab asks them to calm down. Mercedes says that they won't let them lock him up. DamFab tells them that they'll have to accept it. They can't go against the law to help him. There are other ways that they can help him. He knows that they'll find a way to free him. He is taken away. Before exiting, he stares at Marina who is in tears. He leaves. Hernan slithers his way over to Marina and tells her to be strong. Marina says that DamFab was found DamGuilty while there are a lot people like her that know that he's DamInnocent. Marina thoughtbubbles that she doesn't want to lose DamFab despite him having hurt her.

Corazon Indomable # 96, 09/24/13, The curse of love...
....is only worse than the curse of watching this.
I was the one to recap Tav's first wedding, too, some 90 episodes ago. What an honor, really, may this new marriage be as happy as his last one. If he gets a number three, could I have that one, too? I'm getting good at this.
Sweet, romantic music,
and the green mountains of Tamaulipas start the show.
On the bridge
Tav is holding Mari in
his arms and asking her why she’s sometimes so lovable and others such a raging
bitch (that’s how I heard it).
This is just what
Mari needed to pull out of the embrace and remind Tav (and the two viewers
who had probably forgotten this detail) that she hates the Narvaez, doesn’t
need his pity and he will end up hating her as much as she hates him.
But Tav is in
protagonista mode, grabs her by the waist, reminds her that she seemed to enjoy
the kiss they just shared.
Well, so did he, slave
of his passions, Mari mocks him and declares that they are both cursed to feel
a guilty love. She loves him with locura, but he leaves because it’s his
wedding day and he doesn’t want to see her ever again.
As he rides off on his
horse, she screams at him about being bought by Simona and how she pities the
woman – but once she is alone, she starts to cry, because she’s the one to pity
the most in this story and she knows it.
Tav doesn’t go
straight to his wedding, he stops near a tree to think about the kiss he and
Mari shared. He’s sure she’s only playing with him, as part of her venganza,
because she surely hates him. But he’ll marry Simona, who proved to be a good
woman, he won’t disappoint her.

La Tempestad Capitulo 41, Monday Sept 23, 2013 - The Miseries of Mercy
It’s recapper musical chairs night tonight at The Patio. I am recapping tonight’s episode and Gloria has kindly agreed to take Wednesday for me so I can entertain my out-of-town guests all week. Thanks Gloria!
From Friday - The Trial (A big nod to Novela Maven)
Let’s return to The Trial, where Damian knows exactly of what he is accused, though falsely. The Port Captain confirms that Marina urged the PC to request an emergency return for Damian, only to find out said “emergency” was merely a squeeze, a snuggle and vow of eternal togetherness. (The Patio notices the PC is on a first-name basis with Fulgencio and cries of “No Fair!!” ring out.) Fully asks if at any time Dam said he would return with Estercita, Nopis, or at least the PC never heard Dam say it. In other news Robles wakes up, his death was all a ruse. EsterHada angles for a ruby ring for which she will repay her sugar daddy dearly.
Tonight (Scenes mostly in order)
Over in the DF that DamHeli is finally ready for takeoff. Sheesh! ‘Bout time. But don’t breathe a sigh of relief for Mercedes yet...
There is another courtroom recess and the crowd ambles outside. Marina tells Team DamFab that she’s sticking around to support Dam even though the town gives her a hard time. Eusebia thinks Marina is brave and is sure that Dam’s innocence will be proved. Hernan enjoys being negative, “so much proof against Damian Fabre”, and Tia B enjoys getting in Hernan’s face to point out all Fully’s proof is so much hogwash.

PEAM #140 - 09/23/13 - Baby, Baby, Baby-Oh…
My heart-felt thanks to TabletJefa, Pablo, and Madelaine for performing extra special duty to take my Monday episodes for the past three weeks! Yes, Italy and France were storybook wonderful but more on that later. Okay, just one beautiful Mérens stallion in France...
Now how about those Avonites? Yeah, I get to take up the pick and shovel, er, I mean laptop and a glass of lovely red wine waiting as a reward at the end of the hour - now it wouldn't do to watch this under the influence, would it? So let's see who has been naughty and who has been nice…
Alma and Pato plan the surprise announcement for Jesús, Jesica and her Cardenas as she fondles his bowling ball head, they sweet talk instead of working. Xochi and Pato greet and at least Pato works, answering the phone with Discua on the other end. She tells Pato of her arrest which she is sure has that roguish Rogelio behind the plot. Rogelio demands that Susana tell Fernando he needs to speak to him immediately. He falls into his office and finds delight in the newspaper condemning Discua for fraud and illegal or at least inexplicable gain of unbelievable sums of money.

Corazon Indomable #95, 9/23/2013: Lucia Passes the Venganza Torch, After Becoming One Herself
A lot happened tonight, so let’s skip the old stuff and get
right to the new.
We start the evening seeing Mari walking through her land, accompanied by one of her workers. She mentions that the work they are doing will benefit many people. Are those buckets we see in the hands of the workers in the background? Are they actually PICKING the oranges? Mari takes Jose Antonio off to attend other matters with her, as Nazario, aka Twinsebio, skulks into view and thought bubbles that Mari must have a thing for her capataz.

Mari takes Jose Antonio off to attend other matters with her, as Nazario, aka Twinsebio, skulks into view and thought bubbles that Mari must have a thing for her capataz.
We teleport to Isla Dorada, where Miguel is greeting Lucia
and Mini Miggy happily. Lucia decided to surprise him by not letting him know
she was coming back so soon. They’re not just here for a visit, but to stay. In
any case, they no longer have a home to return to in Tamaulipas. Plus, Lucia
informs Miguel, Ewsebio’s brother has popped up, looking to settle scores for
his brother’s death. Miguel looks confuddled by this news.
It’s nighttime in the countryside, but our protagonists are not
having a peaceful night of sleep. Mari tosses and turns, and then finally gives
up. She laments being all alone, and doesn’t think she can go on. Her loneliness
can only be ended by HIM—her obsession and her torment (martirio). Meanwhile, the HIM of which Mari speaks, is
also wide awake and assuming Mari is sleeping peacefully. He wishes he had her
in his arms to end this anguish. “Maricruz. My Maricruz.” He remembers asking
her if there is any hope for them to get back together, and Mari telling him
never. He asks himself why they can’t be together.
Morning breaks, and JA and Mari enter her office. He is
heaping praise on her for the good work she’s doing for the poor people of
Realengo. They are all grateful. (I didn’t see JA heaping any praise on his
wife when she tried to do the same things, with no money. In fact, I remember
him being an ass about her clothing, feeding and caring for Lina, and scoffing
at her desire to teach the children of Realengo.) Mari modestly deflects the
praise. She wants to get the kids of Realengo clothes, games, cookies and
candy. She smiles happily, all dimples and teeth, feeling high on her good
works. (See Mari. Isn’t this way more fun than your vengeance plots that
all end with you in tears?)

PEAM #139-9/20/13: Havin' My Baby, What A Lovely Way of Sayin' How Much You Love Me; We'll Just Go On Burning Bright, Somewhere In The Night
Hola PEAM Peeps! Sorry in advance for the earworms ; ) Skipping the old too, and starting the recap at three weeks later.
Three Weeks Later:
Royer has that wedding invite in his hand, he borrowed it from Ferny, and Moronica hates it, it's so cheap! Royer needs to go out and get some air. Moronica wants to know where, he doesn't have to tell her squat, and goes. She is left with Sanson, poor puppy!
Elias and Pato are saying goodnight, he has that campaign due on Monday and he asks Pato about her therapy. It's going good, but so many temptations! It's okay, one day at a time! Smoochies! Rogue sees and hears all!
Discua is in her office and looking at her bank account. There is way more money in there than there should be! She is checking her statements when Delia comes in with an arrest warrant for Discua. The cops cuff Discua and Discua says it must be some kind of mistake!
Val and Chucho are at the mall, looking for a dress for Val, she will be the page boy at the wedding, the one that gets to hold the train of Alma's wedding dress. They run into Marcia and Val freaks out. Chucho introduces Val to Marcia and tells her she is Marta's twin sister. Val shakes her hand. Marcia talks about this and that with Val and then goes. Onward for that dress!

CI, Cap. #94: Breaking News!! Rising Epidemic of Vengeance and Jealousy plagues the state of Tamaulipas
Confession: So I have not physically watched this Tn in over
a week but thankfully I kept up with the recaps. You recappers are a million
times better than the writers of this Tn so thanks for the laughs. Now on to
the show…
Old
Wow…I barely recognize Simona. She doesn’t look to bad,
perhaps a little too much makeup but this is a Tn so I digress. Anyway, Simona
is angry because Octavio and Lucia hid the fact that MA is the new duena of his
ranch. He promises that he will still marry her (sounds like this is an
obligation…you put yourself there Oblivio! No one pushed you) and she should
not worry. Simona is rightfully scared because she thinks MA has followed him
back to the ranch and that he still has MA in his heart (well-done Simona…your
brain cells are completely intact. If only you will follow that hunch and leave
him be. He deserves no one!).
We have another jealous female, aka Esther, who questions JA
about his whereabouts. She tells him that she knows that MA is the new duena of
the ranch. JA looks busted but he tells her that he didn’t want her to know
because she would act the way she is acting now. He informs Esther there is no
reason for her silly jealousy. MA is
like a sister and there relationship is only business. He tries a couple of “mi
vida” and some hugs but Esther aint having it! (Ok…since when where they on
good terms? I thought they were still running around in circles playing
the “you need to leave, this place is
not for you” and “I love you, I will stay here until you believe me” game.)

Qué Bonito Amor #114 (Mex 152) Friday 9/20/13 Fernando Gets Hitched, Amalia Gets Ditched, and JAntos Is Again Bewitched
Capítulo
152
While Fernando’s wedding
prep gets going, Maria has a face off at the restaurant she’s working at sin papeles [undocumented illegal] with Giuliano at gunpoint. And, as La Diva del Desierto so astutely put
it: “Maria mouths off to OG and ends up with a gun to her back.
And no one in the restaurant gives a crap.” Least
of all, Maria!! Old Gold (de Giuliano)
shouldn’t expect her to be intimidated so easily, says she eying him with a
steely stare realizes this broad ain’t backin’ down for nobody no how. “Stay out of my way! I’m going to prove Jorge Alfredo’s innocent! You don’t know me. You don’t know what I’m capable of!” OG modifies the cat-herding approach for the
dazzle and wow ‘em with your provocative macho wit technique (and he earned a law
degree?) declaring with a malignant macho swagger how enjoyable dueling with a
snippy-yippy broad is for him. He leaves
it at “you’ve been warned.” She snaps
back as he pockets his pistol and heads for the nearest exit: “—We’ve been warned!”
Meanwhile, back in El Lay, Don Nando tells Santos
he refuses to contact his long-forgotten son in order to make amends. He’s better off remaining dead to his son
than trying to explain what he cannot remember.
Santos informs Don Nando then that he could ask to have his case
reopened because he was never legally sentenced. He suggests petitioning the court to have him
either sentenced or set free. Why, asks
the old man, if he has nothing and nobody to go back to? Santos insists he has a country, and a life
to return to with an obligation to his son. Take care of the obligation and return to the
life and family and friends he left, advises Santos.
Back in the barrio, Aaron barges in to Paloma’s
place again. She complains about his
lack of manners: what’s his problem that he always just walks on in “like he
owns the place” [como pedro por su casa]?
He says sorry, but they’ve got to finish or redo the assignment they
were working on together, he lies. That
convinces her and while she’s got her back to the door and he’s sweet talking
her into coming back to his place to do the assignment, Rodrigo bounds up the
stairs and to the stop with a crinkle-wrapped bouquet of flowers goes totally unnoticed
by Paloma. Aaron, though, sees him out
of the corner of his eye and lays on a heavy dose of dove-coo doo-doo which
Rodri falls for. Rod sneaks off and from
a distances observes the newsome-twosome leave, then smashes his bouquet outside
her doorway and cries tears of adolescent angst. FF>>
Back at Rodri’s apartment, El Coloso and Don
Rod are arguing over Col’s attempt at making cinnamon flavored coffee. Suffice it to say a barista he isn’t. Talk turns to Rodri and how he’s head over
heels for Paloma [cacheteando las banqueta’s] and needs to get things patched
up. Rodri comes in yelling and
screaming, ready to kick the cat if they had one. More heartache and jealousy because of the “newsome
twosome”. The two adults try calming him
down and remind him that he may have lost the battle but the fight ain’t over
till it’s over. FF>>
Don’t know what Aaron and Pal are listening
to but they are on a bench in the plaza sharing Aaron’s earphones and listening
together to something on his i-pod/i-phone.
Pal is smiling at whatever she’s listening to. The plan, we learned earlier, is to have
Vanessa sneak a snapshot of the two of them and post it on his Facebook page,
which she dutifully does. Rodri sees the
web page and the photos of her and Aaron smiling and listening to tunes with his
“new gal.” Rodri goes BSC again.
Suzanito, Mancia and Irasema visit the
church, light their candles, and make their plea.
Rodri, Col and Don R have lunch at the same
street-side café and the same cute waitress waits on them again. Col gives her a little keyring with a huge
heart-shaped fob on it. She now holds the
keys to his heart. FF>>
Suz and Irasema get to work makin’ babies
again.
Back at the bar, later that day, Pichi and
Lalo are setting up for the wedding and do a complete rundown of all the
bullet-worthy news events of the past few months. “--Who’d
have thought that…--”
The wedding takes place at the bar and El
Baritono returns to add to the musical madness and Don Rod is now dressed in a
charro and one of the group. They all serenade the newlyweds while Pal stands
by Rodri but is painfully ignored throughout.
Back in El Lay, by the light of the moon,
Maria works on her legal notes and Santos looks through his, swearing that they’ll
prove his innocence and finally be free to love each other with the law hanging
over their heads.
Suz tells the mariachis that the bar’s losing
money badly and he hates the idea of turning it back over to her in the
red. Justo gives them the news that
JAntos’s trial has been moved up. Maria
has an idea that might help his son and she’s got a plan that needs their
assistance if they’re willing to do what he suggests.
The reception ends. Fernando and Ana have their wedding night and
then Fer starts packing. Irasema packs
the bags for Suz.
Col promises Rodri that he’ll make sure that
Paloma and he get back together.
Meanwhile, back at the bar, Pichi and Lalo
find out that the bar is haunted!
End parte 1~~
===========
Ruben hands El-vile-ra the file with the
contract giving him ownership of Maria’s colonia. They agree she’s the one to
go to Maria’s and kick her and her family out onto the street since he’s still
a fugitive from the law. She gladly
accepts and they laugh e-vile-ly.
Meanwhile, the mariachis arrive in El Lay,
U.S.A. with Justo and surprise JAntos at the prison with a Ranchero Musicale
for the Mexican prisoners who’ve apparently been on good behavior recently. Santos points out all the members. Michael says don’t bother telling me who the
guitar player is, he’s got to be Mil Amores cuz he looks so much like Don
Nando. Mikey asks if Santos plans on
introducing the two to each other.
Santos says he’d like to be he doesn’t know how Fernando will feel about
it.
Inside the prison, Don Nando is awakened by
the music (and Viewerville is pondering that possibly his memories are also.)
To top things off, Maria now arrives dressed in
her best charra finery and sings a special serenade to her one and only. It becomes a duet as JAntos jumps to
her side and sings along with her. They
end it with a passionate kiss.
At the same time, the big bad wolf of a prosecuting
attorney [fiscal] is complaining to Old Goldie that it won’t be as easy as they’d
like locking up Santos Martinez de la Garza because of all the inconsistencies
in his case. (You can say that again—try in this whole storyline! But never fear cuz his Lady-Love and Lawyer is there to save the day! And we all know what a whiz Maria is at finding case irregularities and mopping up the floor with nasty opposing counsels.) “--For one thing, the cops who put him in
jail were a couple of total useless fools.” (I prefer screw-ups, or better still, the street
vernacular, i.e., fuck-ups!) Well, no
big deal, OG says, cuz he’s got an ace up his sleeve, one last big bad-ass card to play, and he plans
to use it at the right time. “--So, in the meantime, Mr.
Prosecutor, let me worry about when to play that card! You do your job and squash him!”
Back in the barrio, there’s a loud, rude
banging on Maria’s mother’s door. Hello!!
It’s Elvile-ra there with an eviction notice! Amalia says this can’t be because my daughter
the lawyer had the judge put a stop to it! Not so fast, says the Elvile-ra with a snide
look and a snicker. Maria the great lady
lawyer must have lost, because the judge says it’s valid. Now get out, take that junk with you and make
it fast!” But we don’t have anywhere
else to go, squeals Amalia. Not my problem,
lady, says Elvile-ra. She snaps her
fingers at the movers who smash Isa’s dolly’s arm on the way out with the
couches. So much for that kneeling supplication
b.s. of Vi’s. The baby faced court clerk sneers at Amalia to fageddabowdit when she tries complaining to him! Ohhhh, Elvira, clucks Amalia, you have a venomous heart! (Whatever gave you that impression, Mollie?)
Amid
the screams of a frightened Isa, the embattled Amalia, baffled and befuddled, can
only plop down on the floor next to Isa and watch in dismay as the trampy vamp
finally gets her way. Viewerville wonders when Amalia will ever get a first clue
let alone the last.

Weekend Discussion: Have your viewing habits changed with all the new technology?
Discovery Channel led the way in directing viewers to their website to check out more information about the subject matter of their programs. I don't know whether it was yet known that many people multitask their media this way, but most of the television world knows it now. That's why we have Univision on-air personnel encouraging people to tweet during the program.
Which I don't think is a good idea. I think it makes for diminished attention and may encourage the short attention span that is already such a problem that it's almost impossible to find scenes longer than two minutes and many that are only three dialogue lines long.
I had already seen the finale of La Que No Podia Amar before it aired on Univision and I tweeted a couple of times during their finale broadcast. I absolutely feel that it added nothing to the experience and took away part of the impact of the action. It has turned me off Twitter.
Most of the time I watch my TV programs when they air. The DVR is for when there is a conflict, if I'm not home, or in case there is an important call during my novelas.
How about you, amigos?
Is it live or is it DVR? Netflix? On-Demand on your cable system or On-Demand from another source? Enquiring minds want to know all...

Episode 39, La Tempestad, 19 September 2013 A Robust Attempt to Identify Ursula
Antes de Hoy
Marina and Catfish talk by the sea. It’s noisy with the
waves in the background. MARINA WEEPS that she loves Damian even when he hurts
her. Catfish cannot understand why Damian would dump Marina when he was in the
Can. Hell, I can’t understand why Damian would dump Marina, period. The Captain
has always been an honorable man. MARINA CRIES.
Hernan’s House
An underling, Let’s call him Tan Vest, \comes in to tell Hernan that his orders have
been executed. Genaro and Aurelia will
no longer be a problem for Hernan. I believe that this vague comment means that
Tan Vest killed these two even lesser underlings. Ah ha! Now Hernan has
silently foiled Ernesto, his secret enemy, again. (Of course, I wonder if there
are truly dead or just on a cruise to Barbados). Anyhow, Hernan inquires after
the method of the ‘elimination’ and Tan Vest reposts that as Hernan ordered he
made it looks as if they have fled in haste. “Perfecto,” chuckles Hernan, only
one Rat left. He makes a call on his cell phone and Tan Vest scrapes out of the
room on his hands and knees. Really he just disappears.
Bea’s Casa
Tia Becky is bemoaning that she cannot understand just how
Damian could act so coldly toward Marina. She feels like a fool for promoting
the relationship between Marina and Damian. MARINA SOBS. “Don’t say anything to
my Mom”, Marina asks her Aunt. I don’t want it to affect her health. Right on
cue, Beatriz enters the room with an ‘I-told-you-so’ look on her face. She
hates to see Marina’s pain but she told her Damian was going to make her
suffer. However, she knows that DamStupid is no murderer. Marina doesn’t think
that Damian is a murderer either, but somehow he played with her heart. Tia
Becky, the smartest person in the room by about 20 IQ points, says that she
doesn’t think Damian has stopped loving Marina. Damian talked a good game but
only (somos hechos) our actions/facts count. Bea says she has learned this in
life and looks sad. Later, when Aunt and Niece are by them selves, Marina tells
Becky that she gave herself to Damian for love. Tia, who has MUCH more experience
of men than Marina, says she is sure that Damian’s intention was not just to
get Marina into bed. Tia Becky excuses her self to take a walk. MARINA CRIES.

The farewell scene with Raiza and MA is repeated: Teo and Angel are the same person, thanks to the magic of cosmetic surgery. Raiza should work with him and give him a chance. The ladies hug and say they prefer “see you later” to goodbye.
Also repeated is the scene with Tav embracing Simona while seeing a flashback of MariCruz, which doesn’t bode well for his future with the revamped ranchera.

A New Chapter for Our Heroine
A jet streaking across the sky symbolizes MariAle’s flight (in both senses) from Isla Dorada. At her Mexico City home, Tobias and Solita welcome her, Lupita and Juanita. She greets her nephew, “Hi, kid,” so he’s either still nameless or she’s forgotten his name. She updates Tobias: she was forced to sell the casino and bought Rancho Narvaez. No need to fix a room, since she has to go alone to get things fixed up. Then she’ll bring Solita and nameless nephew to their new home. (Solita seems not entirely happy to be left behind again.) Tobias asks if she bought the ranch for revenge and she admits he’s right.

Qué Bonito Amor #113 (Mex 151) Thursday 9/19/13 Que Malditas Tonterías
Santos' trial date has been moved up and it's just too damn bad that he doesn't have a lawyer or anything remotely resembling a defense. I roll my eyes at the prosecutor bitching that he thinks Santos is a criminal.
At the LA popo, Curtis gives Derecho a shoulder rub as Maria walks in. She thanks them for letting her see Santos and asks to see his record. Maria's going to the "If he was a real criminal, he would've gone to the Bahamas, not lived in a craphole and worked as a mariachi," defense. Maria thinks between that and her pluckiness, she can defend Santos.
Santos is determined to prove his innocence, since his lovely lady snuck into the country to be with him.
Maria swears to Derecho that she didn't know who Santos really was. Derecho gets the call that Santos' trial is taking place in 2 days. Derecho tells Maria that Santos is going to be prosecuted by a real hardass. She begs to see Santos' record.

Careful who you kiss!
Hi patio peeps,I'm going to give you a short recap because (A) not much happened in tonight's episode and (B) I'm feeling a little bit under the weather, so here we go!
Parts 1 & 2 are up
He kissed her, god help us all:
In the good old pueblo Octavio, his half a brain cell and Simona are chilling out, it turns out that our dear Octavio has been feeling a little depressed (waaah waaah look at how our hearts bleed for you, NOT!), Simona says that's understandable given all that he has been through, he agrees, even the sale of the ranch has given him the blues, but maybe some day he and Simona can afford to buy it back.
Simona jumps all over that and asks him if he would like to have the ranch back, she would buy it for him if he wanted her to. Eh, someone needs to tell her to calm the heck down, the only time you can buy love is when you go to the pound and buy a cat or a dog. Octavio, who just a few seconds ago suggested buying the ranch now tells her that no, he would not like that-we need to put him on some medication, his lack of short term memory worries me.

La Tempestad Cap #38 Wed, 9/18/13 - More crying and noble idiocy *
* - Vita (Thanks for your comment, it made a perfect title.)
Redux: Delfina is pretty nice when she’s not hanging around with the toxic Esteryuya. She knows Dam’s no murderer. He tells her Madre E said Estercita is alive. QUE QUE QUE??? Ursula blackmails Esteryuya. Candy lets Lolo escort her to the jail to see Dam.
Lo Nuevo: DamHelplessInJail hears the mob of townspeople whip themselves into a frenzy against Frankenstein’s monster. No wait. Wrong story, ...whip themselves into a frenzy against Marina Reverte! DamHelpless thought bubbles that Marina shouldn’t have to pay the price for loving him.
Mayuya and Ursula walk up to the crowd and gleefully observe their wrath. Fully drags Delfina away from the crowd and she tells him to “Suelteme!” She is bummed to see Mayuya looking like Mayuya instead of Esteryuya but she can’t stick around for self-analysis or chit-chat. She’s got something important to do. Alone. (Before we continue I must say I am amazed at these ladies’ very high heels. But I can tell you from my recent experience in Mexico that uneven pavements and cobblestones will not deter the fashionable ladies from wearing these impractical shoes.)
Ick Alert!! Macario escorts EsterHada into a classy mall or store to do some shopping. He keeps a tight grip on her. Ick I say!! He says treat Don E right and she’ll be treated like a queen.
Back at R-Lay-Dee the beyotch cheerleading squad is leading the student body in a pep rally. Ursula sees Marina rushing up with Jose and Maycucu tells her Marina is the one who caused Estercita’s death. Jose gathers those papers from Candy (testimonials?) and goes into the jail with Candy and Lolo. Lolo gets sidetracked by Mayuya and comments that she looks better dressed as herself. She calls him panzón (tubby or fatty). He gives her the nyaa nyaa and says he thinks she likes him. A little.
