PEAM #162-10/23/13: My Name Is Alma Montemayor Mejia and I Am a Murderer!
Recap by Pablo
Alma is sent to jail
Read more »
Turns out Marta's cold body was found in a warehouse. Everything incriminates Alma, so the police go to her house and take her using excess force and brutality, she, who has no breast milk because Verónica scared the milk away and left only chicharrón seco, is so surprised that she offers no resistance. Chatita ,who cries and pulls to avoid it, to no avail. Oh, what am I going to say to Valentina now? Oh, I remember, the queen went away to another kingdom and now the hero must go and fight the dragon to save her! She'll believe that!!
Note to Juan Osorio: Please let Carmen Salinas retire before it is too late and we end up hating her more than we already do. She could be doing production or anything behind the cameras.
Alma is suspect #1
Police takes fingerprints from the body and from the crime scene. It takes like a whole day for them to compare and discover whose body this is. Jesús, who is smarter than any generic policeman, went first thing in the morning to the House of laughter and unveiled the whole truth even for the doctor, who was, alongside with cheated men, the last to know. When the police finally find out the dead one is not Marcia but her twin sister Marta, go to the clinic to notify the real Marcia, who finally gets someone to believe what she has been saying since episode 103. I am not me! I am my twin sister! No wonder they thought she was the crazy one!!

He loves Marina because of how she makes him feel. Awww. DamFab mentions being pissed off at seeing Marina with Hernan. Claudio calls him out on his jealously and being back to his old habits. It is something DamFab can't prevent and has tried to control himself but things get complicated. DamFab is afraid of losing Marina.

Corazon Indomable, #116, 10/22/13 Solita’s sorrows
Beware, gang, this will be the shortest recap in history, but there is not much to say about this episode except:
Solita decided to
starve to death because Perico Perro dumped her.
Mari waited for Alvaro
to bail her out of her stupidity.
Tav got the brainy
idea to give Mari back the money she paid for the Narvaez Ranch.
Simona agreed to have
Esther and JA move at her ranch.
New characters showed
up.
That’s it, that’s all
that happened. Now you can all go about your day, drink your morning coffee,
concentrate on work, enjoy your lunch break...
No? You say you want
more? There really isn’t much more to add, but if you insist….
(All the scenes are
severely reorganized, so you can make some sense out of what actually happened).

PEAM, Tuesday 10/22/13 (#161): Life's a Joke. Death's the Punchline.
Vero goes to Alma's place, supposedly to pick up Valentina for an impromptu and unauthorized visitation, but actually to provoke a fight with Alma. First, however, she has an altercation with Marta, who proudly admits to being La Loca and warns Vero not to mess with her. Chatita hears the scuffle outside the door, but by the time she gets there, Marta is gone. Vero is still gasping, but claims to be merely out of breath after talking on the phone. Vero asks Chatita what she thinks of Marcia. Chatita says she gets a bad vibe from her.
Once she's in the apartment, Vero overhears something about Vale's "novio" and chooses this as the topic of her fight with Alma. She claims to be there for visitation, but of course Alma doesn't let her take Vale. Vero hurls every insult she can think of at Alma, who stands her ground and doesn't lose her temper. They do threaten one another, however. (Actually, the real highlight of this scene is when Vero admits that she made a mistake. She's wrong about what the mistake was - she thinks she never should have let Chucho meet Valentina - but at least she admits to being fallible. Too bad Eli couldn't hear her say that. And Marta too, for that matter. They both told Vero that she should admit when she's wrong.)
Anyway, Vero tells Valentina "OK, I'm leaving now." Some visit. Valentina says, "I love you, Mommy." Vero replies, "Me too." I'm so touched, I dab at my eyes with a lace hanky.

Rats, you mean I have to take my dying wife home?!
Hello my favorite peeps, I'm doing tonight's recap because the lovely and talented Vivi is out of town so this week you get two recaps from me, yay?
The old stuff: We get a repeat of MC saying that all she needs to be happy is Octavio, she could live in poverty with Lupita an one cell 'Tavio and be in heaven (oh gag me with a spoon!), she will always belong to Octavio, ALWAYS-remember this for later folks.
On to the new stuff, at Simona's ranch Octavio and GreedyMig- this is my new name for sleazy, wormy, scum of the earth Miguel Narvaez, GreedyMig and Octavio discuss Simonas ill health and Octavio informs GreedyMig that he is leaving the cash cow, eh I meant to say his wife in order to go back to Maricruz, GreedyMig does not agree with this, think of themoney Simona!
Greedy then tells Octavio that he is lucky, hell when his wife dies he will be rich, rich I tell ya! I used to think that GM (greedy Miguel) was with Lucia because he had no spine but the more I see him in action the more I come t realize that he was with her because they both lacked morals and did not care if others suffered as long as they got what they wanted. I hope this dude gets a giant anvil!

Mentir Para Vivir #11 Mon 10/21/13 Is she a prostitute? Is she a killer? Either way, Ricardo wants some of that…
At church, Orines is talking with Padre Plaid - he’s saying that Ricardo suspects her true identity, but still, he has feelings for her. Oh my Gosh, Orines feels the same way, but she can’t tell Ricardo the truth about her, he thinks she killed his dad. Also, she doesn’t know if her husband is still alive or how she could prove her innocence in Colombia.
Ricardo comes to visit
Mariano, too, but he meets Jorge outside the church and when he hears Ines is
with Padrecito, he pouts and leaves… Ines stole his best friend/ confessor.
Arriving back at the
house, Orines meets Raquel, who gloats about the 3 million pesos she managed to
squeeze out of Paloma. Orines is upset that Raquel went so far, they go back
and forth about who has more to lose if the big secret comes out. And,
obviously, Raquel warns Orines to stay away from Ricardo.
At the textile plant,
Ricardo and Piero talk about the remote possibility of a little girl firing a
.44 caliber. Piero has many thoughts on the matter, all very accurate.
(Short brake just to say that I find it surprising how this telenovela has never used misunderstandings or people jumping to the wrong conclusions just as a way to forward the plot - it almost seems to good to be true... I hope I don't jinx it.)
Anyway, back to Peiro, he says:
- he thinks a woman could shoot a .44 caliber, but she’d need to have some
experience with handling guns, especially since the shot was in the heart; also,
she’d have to be very coldhearted to shoot a man in front of her small daughter.
- he doesn’t think Oriana had anything to do with her husband’s wrong
dealings.
- isn’t Ricardo
obsessing too much about this whole story?
- the shot could have been coming from
another part, maybe Oriana just got scared and ran with her daughter.
- the
inspector said the little girl found the gun on the beach, maybe the owners of
the villa hid it.
- was there anyone else interested in killing Gabriel
– like maybe Lila and her brother?
And Piero rests his case.
No way can Sebastonto be the son of this smart man, not while he wears those yellow pants that surely come from the same factory where Hernan from La Tempestad gets his trousers. But more on this later.

La Tempestad, October 21, 2013. Capitulo 61.
Estercita tells Hernan that DamFab wants to take her son away from her and get a divorce. He has given her 2 days. Hernan forbids Estercita to give DamFab a divorce. Do what you have to do to stall it. Estercita complains that she has no money. Where's the money for the kidnapping of my son? I haven’t seen a penny yet (this woman wins mom of the year. NOT!). Hernan tells her that she will not have to worry about money since she is the heir of Ernesto's fortune. He will take care of getting it to her. She promises to give him a big bonus if he gets it quickly. He tells her he will keep her informed. After he hangs up, he calls her stupid. To think that I will let you see one penny of Ernesto's money. I am going to stay with it all.
Ursullied is lying on Hernan's bed with the twins. (I’m not taking about babies here). Hernan tells her to get to ready to head back home. Estercita is managing things badly. She complains that he hasn't spent any time with her, not even taken her out for dinner. Hernan tells her to listen to him. She refuses to do his bidding and they start fighting and he pushes her on the bed. You listen to me replies Hernan.
DamFab and Marina are on the phone talking. She can't believe that Estercita didn't put up a fight regarding the divorce that DamFab asked for. He assures her that he will fix things quickly so that they can be together. She needs to stay calm. Soon they will be together and no one will bother them. (only if you get rid of crazy Hernan, sweetcheeks). Every time he thinks of her his heart beats crazily like a “Tempestad”. She asks about Padre Tomas. He is getting better and better. She asks him to tell Padre hello for her. He asks her how she's doing. Fine replies Marina. She tells him that she will be dining tonight with.....but DamFab's phone loses power and she can't tell him who's she's dining with. Becky enters Marina's room to inform her that Hernan has arrived to take her to dinner. Marina tells Becky that she doesn't want to go, but she'll do it anyway.

PEAM #160, Oct. 21, 2013 - Oh Say Can You See…the Pie Carts Up That Hill Aimed at Baby Sellers and Baby Thieves
Here is an experiment:
Aida tells Jesica who is down stairs waiting for her. She says oh no he will kill him (Cardy I presume) just then Cardy takes a flying lesson Jesús assumes another rescue role that of working wonders of conciliation between madman Bernabe and red-faced Cardy. The girls ooh and aah and Jesica takes a flower vase in hand to face the musinc. Bernabe swings her around but lets her back to admire her physique as we all always do.
Xochi and Fernando take the new car for a spin. Apparently she has never driven before so this won't go well as she ruins some poor slubs knees who has the good judgement to run for his life. Xochi is more worried about damage to the new MiniCooper than to the involuntary manslaughter charges that might await her future driving attempts.
Jesica assures Cardy that she will handle Bernabe. Then she assures Bernabe that even though she is totally in lurve with Cardy he is so wonderful to her. They hug and dance in the coffee room moving the dance out into the open office. Bernabe waxes between ecstatic dancer and wild man ready to defend his old girlfriend if Cardy ever does anything bad to her.

TELEMUNDO Y MAS - week of October 21
The Telemundo schedule seems to be patas arriba but that won't stop us from commenting! Go for it!
Labels: marido, santa, telemundo
Recapper stars in her own telenovela!
¿Qué es Common Core?
Carlos and Belinda are a young couple with children in the Mesa Public Schools. As MPS implements the new Common Core standards, Miss Millie helps Carlos and Belinda understand the changes. But a secret from Carlos' past threatens the safety of the entire family.
This was just too good not to share with the whole community! I shot this video series back in May and the Spanish version is out now. There was an English version shot at the same time, but it doesn't look like that's out yet. The idea is to introduce parents to the Common Core Standards and get them interested in what's going on in MPS by using the familiar telenovela format, as well as poking fun at a lot of the telenovela tropes (all that stuff we check off on the imaginary BINGO cards). I even got to say "No puede ser!" It's not meant to be a stand-alone, but is/has been presented to parents during meetings where they have an opportunity to ask questions and get more detailed information.

CI, # 114 -- Fri. 10/18/13 -- Don’t Know Where the Vengeance Went, but Now It’s All About Luurve
CeCe is on
leave for tonight’s recap due to exams, so La Paloma is reporting instead. Many
scenes are compressed and combined by topic, so they may be out of order.
It’s another
night of back-and-forth emotions for Tav and MC. Their attempts to find new
partners leave them back at square one, feeling the old feelings. Details of
this mess follow.
Previously
Tav protests to Miguel that MC isn’t just playing around with a new boyfriend, she has to think of a stepfather for Lupi. Mig thinks the engineer has a good salary, but Tav says MC won’t lack for anything as long as he’s around. It’s seems like a lie—MC’ love for Tav won’t allow her to date anyone new. (That’s some sublime self-satisfaction for our galan.)

(That’s some sublime self-satisfaction for our galan.)
MC and Alvaro
are out riding. He cheers her up and she trusts him, but does wonder why he is
helping her. Shortly, the new couple is at her table, drinking coffee, chatting
and laughing. Tav rings the doorbell, Santa answers and tells him to wait. Tav
sees the happy couple and knows Miguel wasn’t lying about MC’ new boyfriend.
Nevertheless, he’ll protect his daughter.
In a moment,
MC welcomes Tav and introduces Alvaro. The men grip each other’s hand in a
contest of manly power. (Sergio Goyri
seems to have more focus when he’s menacing someone as a bad guy. He’s sort of
a cardboard cutout here.)
Tav Rides
By to See Whose Truck Is Parked at MariCruz’ Hacienda
Tav claims he came to see Lupita. MC gestures him upstairs on his own, while she and Alvaro sit on the couch for more cozy conversation. Tav eavesdrops from the upstairs bridge. When the engineer leaves, MC lets him kiss her hand. She rips Tav for coming unannounced and with a rotten attitude.

Xochi is talking to poor Ale who has a black eye. Ale got it from one of her clientle and Xochi is very upset and offers Ale her help.

Alma is visiting Pato in the hospital when Rog comes in all upset about his bebe.
The Fluffy Folderol: Chucho and Valentina are giving Luisa her first bath, and Valentina is really enjoying this new duty. Alma is so very proud of them she grabs the camera and takes pics of this event. Then Chucho takes pics of Valentina and Alma, then the camera is set on automatic so the whole family is in the pic. Fluffy filler! Val asks after her newly born bubby, as Chucho is tucking her in for the night. Chucho tells her he is in an incubator cause he was born prematurely, he's very tiny, and she asks for a piano keyboard, she wants to learn to play like Kiko. She goes to sleep.

Mentir Para Vivir #10 Fri 10/18/13 New-Nes Confesses; Ric Eyes the Possible Male Competition; Padre Plaid Prays for Guidance
Capítulo
10
Lo Del Pasado:
At the hospital Oriana breaks down and confesses the real story to Padre Mariano.
She was looking for shelter from her
deceitful, scruple-less, and criminal hubby and the misguided long arm of the
Columbian law; not to mention that she only meant to bring a bit of happiness
into the old lady’s lonely life. He
advises her against telling the truth to Doña Paloma for fear the emotional
shock of True-nes’s washing up on the shore like a dead tuna post-deadly overdose would be too much for her.
Lo Del Nuevo:
While Padre Plaid (having actually changed into a red stripy something now) is
chatting with New-nes, Cesar and Racquel show up in the waiting area to check
on things. Ric sees another opportunity
to snooker information about NewNes’s past and any possible link to his dead
daddy’s murder. He immediately starts
giving Raqi the third degree. (Word up,
Ric: don’t try snookering a snookerer.)
Raqi’s way ahead of him here.
Nope, she’s got no idea what Padre Red Stripes and Ines discussed that
morning that supposedly set her off since they’re really not friends as such;
and nope, she’s not aware of any long distance phone calls to her hotel—except
(once he mentions that he paid the last phone bill for Ines) the time she was
calling about some little cheap stuff she left in the room and a hairbrush
which they’d given to Santos for the DNA test.
“—it turned out positive, didn’t it?” Yeah it was positive, he replies, still
mentally sifting her answer for a crack in her alibi. So then what’s your problem, asks Raqi with
another sparkling crocodile smile of hers.

First of all, don't feel sorry for me. I know my mami is just using me to get at my papi. She's hanging out with her Mean Girl cousin and that creepy dude Hernán, not to mention the freak with the bad rug and the painted eyebrows. But you have to know that my papi is on my side.
Padre Tomás is not expected to survive the night. His lungs are failing. I repeat, he may not live through the night. When questioned on the whereabouts of her daughter-in-law, ShutUpRosy reported that she is where she belongs -- in the house, doing the laundry.

Weekend Discussion: Virtual Feast
Virtual Feast
Food, whether we're talking basic,
ethnic, plain, or fancy, is what keeps us going. We see beautiful
kitchens in the homes of our fictional friends on TV: Big kitchen
tables are laden with gorgeous produce, garlic is hanging over the
counter space, spice shelves are loaded with jars, and wonder what
Maria, the cook, is preparing for our protagonists. I keep wishing
that Televisa would put out a cookbook with the recipes from each
series.
Every once in a while we need to talk
about this universally-loved subject. Do you like to cook? Do you
tend to cook for parties, family, a special significant other? Do
you like to experiment?
As we get closer to the finale of PEAM,
there will probably be parties in front of the TV. What are you
planning to make? If you're not entertaining, what would you make if
we all got together?
I freely admit I make stuff that some
people think are real head-scratchers. Here is a dessert I've
brought to a friend's place for Easter; I even made it with
sugar-free filling!:
Now with fall in full swing and winter coming, what do you like to cook? How did you learn? If you have children, did you teach them?
Seriously, I have only ever known about three people who didn't like food. They all had other major issues.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 59, Thursday October 17, 2013 - Todos Los Padres
The Father of the
Pueblo – Father Tomas
Father Tomas is driving down the road to attend to a certain
Doña Rita when his car swerves off the road and down a short precipice. It
appears to be a mechanical failure—we know that Nareo did something to the car.
After the accident, the Father is bleeding and unconscious but he is pulled
from the burning car by some townspeople. The car blows up. Nareo did his job
well but the Father is not dead yet.
At the hospital, the doctor tells ShutupRosy, Laz and Lucia
some bad news. Sadly, Padre inhaled some burning fumes and has some bourns on
his body. He is on a respirator fighting between and life and death.
Damian Fabre, Father
At Large
Damian jumps out of the cab driven by sinister Macario and
runs through traffic to the church in order to recover his bebe. He enters the
church where we see Sweet Baby looking so cute lying on his clean blanket in a pew.
Damian swoops the baby up into his manly, muscular arms. Damian has never been
more beautiful than when he holds the little one who may or may not be his son.
Damian then takes the flowers out of a vase right in
the front of the church and fills it with a large black plastic garbage
bag full of money. Ursula is skulking somewhere in the church, hiding from Damian.
Damian hears her and she is almost caught whilst she is waiting for Damian to
fill the vase with money. She sheds a few tears but I cannot for the life of me
tell just why she would bother.
We jump to the Den of Iniquity, where Hernan, Macario and
Ursula rub their hands together in glee as Hernan shares out the money they

Mentir Para Vivir #9 Thu 10/17/13 Preguntar para Angustiar
Ricardo explains to Inés about Maria, at least as far as he knows. Maria has epilepsy and some type of mental retardation. Inés doesn't like the idea of leaving Maria with her dad, but Ricardo doesn't want to have her institutionalized.
Paloma fills Padre Plaid in on what Inés told him about Lina's father. He thinks she might talk to a man of the cloth…tartan though it may be. Paloma wants her to be happy and she feels guilty about what Inés has suffered.
Inés is wondering why Ricardo told her about Maria. 'Cause he likes you, duh! He pleads for her to realize their kiss was for realz, but Inés denies it. Ricardo tells her that he wanted her to know about Maria because he wants her to trust him. Inés gets defensive and says he's just trying to get her to admit she's someone else, like maybe the woman who killed his father. She starts to leave, but Ricardo won't let her and insists that if they can't get it on, at least they can be friends. He figures she never had a lot of friends before, growing up as an orphan. He tries to coax her to tell him about her life of ho-ing by saying he did his own stupid stuff, as she's now seen, but Inés can't be forthcoming about that since she has no idea that's supposed to be her past. Raquel and Whatsisface (Matilde's husband) come in to the same restaurant where Inés is with Ricardo and start chatting about the lovely house they saw that would be just perfect for the new boutique hotel.

CI # 113 -- Thurs. 10/17/13 -- Tonight’s Melodrama: MariCruz, the Plucky Rancherita
Allà en el rancho grande,
Allà donde vivia,
Habia una rancherita
Que alegre me decia,
Que alegre me decia.
Previously
MariCruz is speaking with the smitten Mayor Morales, telling him she will fight the land takeover and plans to file a class action lawsuit. He won’t intervene because he admires her. When he tries kissing her hand, she pulls it away and leaves. Although she’s beautiful and smart, he smirks and tells himself that everything has its price. (Dream on, slimeball. If the Emir couldn’t pull it off, neither can you.)
Alvaro, the engineer (aka Old Caterpillar Face), confesses to Padre Julian he has a personal motive in his sympathy for the displaced peasants. He’s in love with MariCruz and hopes the padre will speak in his behalf. He’s an upright guy who can provide references if needed. (If you need that much help, your case may be hopeless.)

Miguel uses his vast knowledge of
women to advise Octavio that Simona knows he loves MC more than his wife. (We’re surprised he’s not working on a best
seller to share his expertise.)
Our
Plucky (but Unlucky) Heroine Fights to Save the Ranch
The hardworking accountant tells Santa he really, really needs to see MC, but she’s never home. He hopes the tenants will help her save the ranch and let her know how badly JA has cheated and betrayed her. She doesn’t deserve her bad luck.

PEAM #158- 10/17/13- We May Have All Lost Some Hearing But Veronica's Baby is Born
The old:
We are the casino and Ricardo; the loser comes in with
Virginia. He goes to a table where
the minimum bet is $10,000 pesos. He
is going to bet blindly. What an idiot.
Alma, Jesus and Ferny arrive at the hospital to see
Paty. Rogelio arrives and is
informed that she is in critical condition.
Back at the casino, Ricardo bets it all. So do his opponents. I don’t understand Poker, but Ricardo
wins everything. Dumb luck!
