Porque el Amor Manda #164: The Odors of October
Julio and Marisela drag Richi back to his place and try to get him
cleaned up and fed. He's still wallowing in self-pity, but Mari is very
solicitous and makes him a nice steak. He's even less attractive than
usual and Julio flat-out tells him he smells like wet dog, so it must be
love.
Paty congratulates Roger on how he faced down Killeronica. He confesses to her that the crazy witch has something on him: a tape recording of his illicit business activities. Que que not-so-casual what? And it wasn't only Nick Donavon, either: he admits had dealings with...Ury Petrovsky. Paty is muy impactada: "The Ury Petrovsky THAT NEARLY KILLED MY AMIGUI?" "I just wanted Alma and Jesus separated," Roger whimpers, "And it got out of hand! I'm a delinquent! I should be the one in jail, not Almita..." He seems to be working up to turn himself in. I hope Paty's ready to be a single parent.

Friday 10/25/13 Capitulo 119 Corazón Indomable ♥ I'll Have A Shot Of Whatever Octavio Is Drinking
Somehow after a few days of the Miraculous Tequila Diet, Octavio has reached the brilliant conclusion that he must rescue his curly-haired little angelet, Lupita, from the clutches of her irresolute profligate mother, Maricruz. Never mind that he has renounced all paternal rights, he is apparently aware of some other higher law that will permit and obligate him to do this. At first Simona is not too keen on the idea, unless of course Maricruz has left the building and the county as well. This idea is so outrageously audacious that I really don't mind sticking around a bit to see how he thinks that he can pull this off.
After her recent encounter with God's vicar, Padre Julián, Natasha is nursing a sore shoulder. Nana applies an icepack as Natasha recounts how just the touch of his hand forced her to kneel before him. Who woulda thought the little guy would be so strong?
Nana asks,
"Why?"
She tells her that she touched his face.
Nana asks,
"Why?"
She wanted to provoke an emotional response.
Nana asks,
"Why?"
Well in order to have something interesting to paint but the anger he expressed wasn't exactly the response she was looking for. She was thinking more along the lines of anguish, desperation, fear... the usual.
Need I say it one more time? Nana asks (feel free to say it with her),
"Why?"
"Well, if I want the painting called "The Temptation of a Priest," he would have to express what a good priest would feel on the threshold of a freakin' huge sin."
Nana's distressed with her ward but doesn't seem very surprised.
Downstairs at Simona's ranch, Octavio discusses his plan with Miguel. Miguel has doubts. Octavio has already decided and if it doesn't suit Simona, then heck, he'll go off somewheres else, just he and Lupita. (And probably police and private detectives hot on your trail.) Maybe you'd better pour yourself another drink and think this out a little better.
Natasha expands a bit more on her epic painting. She will be sprawled out at the feet of the tormented priest in all her voluptuous sinful glory... a detail to be added later of course. Padre Julián will find out that part if he happens to see the painting displayed at an exposition.
Octavio expounds on his plan to rescue his daughter from the bad influences of that hussy Maricruz and her engineer friend. Miguel advises that he proceed with caution. I say go for it, this TN needs some excitement.
Nana is thinking that a sweet picture of a caring priest doing priestly stuff, but Natasha has her heart set on something a little more scandalous. She wants some fame out of this.
Miguel goes upstairs and tries to sell Simona on Octavio's harebrained scheme to take his daughter away from Maricruz. He counsels,
"Don't you comprehend that it would be marvelous that this woman lose her daughter? It would be a tremendous punishment to Maricruz Olivares' pride. This would be genuine revenge."
She seems to be warming to the idea.

Mentir Para Vivir #15 Fri 10/25/13 Love and Hate, All On a Slow Burn
Capítulo 15
Lo
del Pasado:
Mathilde has approached Oriana in the hallway
outside Paloma’s hospital room, has accused her of plotting with Ricardo for
Ines to run off purposely to cause her aunt to have a fatal heart attack from
the shock in order to take immediate possession of everything now that 2nes has
finally been named as sole heir to the estate. Though 2nes denied it, Madhilde has threatened
to tell Paloma “everything”.
Lo
Del Nuevo:
Oriana tells Ric what just went down and he tells
her to blow it off. 2nes says no can do
if that’s what everybody in the house thinks of her! Ric says he doesn’t live in that house and he
doesn’t think that (and that should,
of course, be all that matters)!
Meanwhile, Raquel has decided to take Sebastian up
on his offer to show her his crib (and I do mean crib—the spoiled rotten
baby). Nope, says Sebastardo when asked,
his daddy’s never gonna be welcomed there and he’s persona non grata. Not a topic to be discussed. Sebastardo’s doing just fine on his own. All Seb needs, he says trying to be seductive (and
falling miserably short) is a lady-love by his side, one like Raquel. Well, Raqi is definitely part of the “love the
one you’re with” crowd. He asks and she
admits to having gone to bed with Ric once.
Seb is a fine specimen of the hormone-driven 18-20 something species and
she decides to have a bit of a cougarette’s ride on the wild side. Seb begs her to tell him he was better than
Ricardo. After all, he has to have been since
he is so much younger than Ric, he claims, with apparent and misplaced
braggadocio. Raqi admonishes him for
having asked such a question of her and then suggests that there’s much to be
said for experience (as opposed to enthusiasm and endurance, which, she is
considerate enough to leave unsaid). She figures that discretion is the better
part of valor in this case, and fights wrinkling her nose . “—You sure were something!”
Later that afternoon/evening, Madhilde arrives home
and gets snitty about Ruben and Lucina spending time together playing póker while
she’s been at the hospital with her aunt at death’s door. Once Maddie leaves the room, the two giggle (flirt?)
over her snarky attitude. FF>>
At
the hospital still, Ric and 2nes are there at Paloma’s bedside when the doctor
tells Paloma she’ll get to go home day after tomorrow. More small talk follows. Ric surprises 2nes and Paloma saying that he
and 2nes are steadies and engaged. Paloma’s
thrilled at the match-up.
2nes
gives him a bit of grief afterwards in the drive of the manse and says she still
wants time to think about it. Talk turns
to the gun she found and 2nes has no idea what Lucina might have done with
it. She refuses to go to the police with
him and reminds him that would naturally lead to them discovering her taking True-nes’s
identity and how would dear Paloma handle that???? They kiss; he wants more; she wants time to
think. What happens when a notable guy
like him announces and she possible gets recognized by some tourist or something?
It’s back to Columbia for her and a one-way ticket to prison for smuggling. She
leaves him er…up in the air… and goes in to see about Lina. FF>>
Madhilde
tells Ruben her suspicions about 2nes and Ric plotting to get immediate control
of Paloma’s wealth. Ruben’s interest is
piqued, but the two end up arguing about it anyway and he leaves again with another
desperate and unheeded desire to have Madhilde put a sock in it.
In
another part of the house, Raqi comes in late. Lucina learns Raqi was with Sebastardo. She also finds out from Raqi that Seb isn’t
Ric’s little brother at all, but his closeted skeleton of a son “by way of a
mental retard”. Lucina is QTH impactada.
Ric
makes a last minute stop at Mariano’s for a quick chat. He tells Mariano about him and Oriana’s
worries that despite their being able to prove she didn’t murder his father and
that she didn’t know about her husband’s smuggling, how will they ever break it
to Paloma that True-nes is dead and that 2nes is an impostor? Dios will provide an answer when and if the
need arises, proffers the good padre. (Would
we have expected him to reply with anything but???)
The
next morning, Lucina overhears Madhilde griping at her daughter for submitting
to being Nanny to Lina. She’s not Ines’s
servant or her maid, chastises Madhilde.
From now won just stay away from them!
Later
in the morning, Raqi surprises Lucina with a trip to their new B&B.
At
the same time, Ric has a chat with Piero about the different caliber guns, the
larger caliber being the one Daddy Gabe was killed with. They still have nothing to go to the police
with, warns Pierro. “—The police will think you’re planting evidence.” Their only option is to find the actual
weapon used to kill him. Pierro suggests
he leave off worrying about catching the murderer, but Ric won’t. He wonders whether or not Ric has heard
anything more about Oriana Caligaris.
Ric lies and says the last he heard was that her husband had died; and
no, he no longer suspects 2nes of really being Oriana. In fact they’re nearly engaged! Pierro congratulates his bud. Ric brings up Berto and wants Pierro to pump
him to find out what he can about him and what he’s up to.
Fidelia
and Paloma chat on the phone. Fidelia
agrees to come for a visit the day Paloma returns home and to be introduced to
2nes.
Later
that day, 2nes visits with Paloma and learns that Ruben married Madhilde
instead of Ric’s Aunt Fidelia, that he lost his business, but instead of
starting over and trying again to make something of himself, that he’s nothing
but a lay about who’d rather play golf all day. Cesar,
though, is a decent sort and a hard worker, Paloma agrees. But she adds, he seems to be bitter
and frustrated with life, and “—with a mother like Mathilde, who wouldn’t be?” Ric shows up and takes 2nes to lunch.
At
lunch Ric and 2nes discuss promoting Cesar.
Ric invites her to dinner at his batch pad that night. They flirt.
He wants to take her to bed, though he makes clear to her that his
intentions towards her go far beyond a one-night stand. She admits to being frightened. He promises her they won’t do anything she
doesn’t want to. Oriana stares into his
eyes and it’s Truth Or Consequences time.
She asks if he ever slept with Raquel. He admits he did but that it was only a
meaningless fling. He wanted information
about Oriana and Raquel wanted to sleep with him. She invited him to her room and he knew what
that meant. He had his needs and
obliged. Why her? She’s not the first woman he’s been with; she’s
just one of many occasional flings. He
wasn’t in love. Believe it or not he’s never been in love. Oriana is the one who’s finally captured his
heart. She doesn’t believe him He
suggests they can discuss it and whatever else that evening.
That
evening while getting ready for her dinner date with Ric, Lucina comes to
chat. Lucina tells her about the B&B
and that it still needs some work done on it.
They need just a few more hundred pesos for the rehab work and when
Oriana balks because it’s [the company’s money] not her money to spend, Lucina
suggests her becoming a third partner in the business. She says she’ll think about it.
Pierro
and Berto have drinks together that night at some bar. Pierro chats up Berto about being Lila’s
finance manager. “--Lucky you!” Not really, sniffs Berto inbetween sloppy swigs
of beer. (Viewerville, after watching
Berto in action, is glad it had only a light snack before viewing. Obviously Berto suffers an unnatural aversion
to shampoo and combs. From the way
Pierro’s rolling his eyes and turning his face, I’d say an aversion to
showering and soap also.) Berto gripes
that he’s not that lucky. He’s got to
send in monthly reports on the financial aspects which were paltry in
comparison. Ric and Seb got the lion’s
share since Lila and Gabe fought like cats and dogs all the time. Over what?
Lucina, of course. His lover? Of course—and he’s not bashful [empacho=
ashamed, embarrassed, shy] about saying it, either! (I believe this was the gist of the
conversation. Correct me if I’m off
base.)
Lucina
shares the conversation later with Raqi who becomes incensed at having to have
anything more to do with Oriana, let alone being forced into a business
partnership with her! Ric shows up
looking for Oriana. While they wait for
her to show up, Ric asks about the gun Lucina found. Lucina has to admit she had it, but then lies
about throwing it away right after.
Oriana appears moments after.
Raqi is fairly choking on her rage as Ric flatters Oriana about her choice
of dress and her overall hot looks. They
leave and Raqi wants to know why Lucina lied about having the gun and throwing
it away. Because, says Lu, he obviously
now knows that Oriana is Oriana. Nobody
else could have told him about that gun and why but her!
Lucina
describes to Raqi how Felipe explained about the difference in calibers of the
two guns involved and that the one she had was too small a caliber to be the
murder weapon. While Ric tries to impress Oriana with his bachelor’s digs, Raqi
suggests to Lu that it could really be dangerous for Ric to know the truth now.
They should say it was all Oriana’s idea
to falsify her identity using the dead girl’s identity. Lu says no
way. “--Why not???” Because he’s too in love to turn in either
Oriana or them, being her friends. “--Well,
it’s a great way she has of compensating us for her good fortune, wouldn’t you
say?” Why? Raqi parodies
Oriana. “—I’m
too ashamed to lend you money; why it isn’t even mine!”
Lucina watches the act with a discerning eyebrow. Raqi suddenly gets pissy. “—What she should be ashamed of is
going to bed with the first guy she meets!” Raquel is grumbling over spilt milk and Lucina
gives her grief about it.
Over
at Ric’s bungalow, the major domo has been sent away to another part of the
house, and he and Oriana are discussing Lucina’s request for additional
cash. Ric doesn’t see a problem and
offers to loan her the little bit more that they’ll need for the B&B. When she refuses, he reminds Oriana that the
three of them planned this false identity plot together and that they know all
about her situation. Lucina is a good
sort and would play straight with them, though he wouldn’t trust Raquel as far
as he could throw her, he says. What
right does Ric have to get involved in her business, anyway, she asks him. Ric says that no matter what name she goes by,
it’s because he is in love with her. That’s why. He decides he’d
better take her home before she gets the wrong idea—that he only wants to
seduce her by having her over to dinner. It’s on his mind but it’s not all he wants
from her, he reminds her.She says she knows what he intended, yada, yada. Before
he can say anything more, she moves in for the kiss and it’s electric. One thing leads
to another and she’s seducing him.

Weekend Discussion: Feliz dia de las Brujas!
I realize that Halloween doesn't quite mean the same thing in Mexico, but what if Televisa and Telemundo would make some horror movies based on the favorites TCM and other movie channels show this time of year? Whom would you like to see as Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, the werewolf, the Mummy? I'm sure many of the guys out there would love to see Ninel Conde and other Jessica Rabbit-types as Dracula's wives in those sheer shrouds right out of Hammer's costume vault.
Who else is partying for Halloween? I'm at parties tomorrow and Saturday and invited for a third one next Wednesday.

La Tempestad – Capitulo 64 – Thursday, October 24, 2013 - How Many La Tempestad Sailors Will Fit Into A Vintage Volkswagen Beetle?
“I am Elna June Sonoma and this is Morning Report.
Buenos Dias. Today we begin with an abbreviated report on the telenovela La
Tempestad.
By The Sea, Veracruz
(Screen image: Damian and Marina in the sand dunes by the

Reporter:
“This morning in Veracruz our cameras caught Marina Reverte
and Damian Fabre in a rare happy moment. Ms Reverte was heard promising El Capitan Fabre
that she will never allow him to be separated from his son (Baby Michel).
Damian expressed gratitude that Marina loves his son, but as they were talking,
their brief idyll was interrupted by a telephone call from Becky. Reverte’s
mother, Doña Beatriz Reverte had been taken to the hospital.

excellent hair.)
Reporter:
“In Nuestra Señora del Mar, Sra. Beatriz Reverte has suffered
another health crisis. The waiting room at General Hospital was filled with
tension as Becky, Jose and Marina waited for news of Beatriz’ health. While at
first it appeared that Bea might not make it through the night, the doctor
delivered news that Bea was still living but she could not walk or talk. Much
later the doctor returned with the news that Beatriz was stable but was still
unable to walk or talk. She was allowed visitors and Marina was heard assuring
her Mother of her undying fidelity and love. Our in-room microphone overheard
Marina talking to her Mother. She will always take care of her Mom as Bea took
care of her when she was a child. Bea is glad of her daughter’s continued love

Ricardo insists that they need to get back to Hermosillo ASAP and refuses to discuss it. He threatens Inés with calling the cops and says if anything happens to his godmother, it's on her.
Crap. Paloma wakes up in the middle of the night and sees the envelope Inés pushed under her door. In the letter, Inés says she doesn't deserve the place Paloma has given her in the family and she's leaving with her daughter. She says she can't keep pretending to be someone she's not.
Ricardo thinks they're racing against the clock to get to that letter before Paloma sees it in the morning.
Paloma knocks the phone off the hook, but manages to push the call button for the maid, who comes in and sees her on the floor, but doesn't seem to have a clue what to do about it…so she goes to get Matilde. That seems like a bad idea. Matilde gets a move on, once she's awake enough.
Inés makes faces at Ricardo and Padre Plaid from the back seat of the car.
Matilde also has no clue what to do, but Ruben gets the phone and Matilde tells him to call for an ambulance. Aw, crap. Matilde sees the letter and sends the maid off to have Jorge open the gate. She stashes the letter before Ruben comes back.

PEAM# 163- 10/24/13- Alma Learns That A Hyena is Not A Laughing Animal
From yesterday-
We begin with Jesus and Astudillo discussing the fact that
Jesus completely believes Alma is innocent. Astudillo begs to differ because Alma’s bracelet was found
at the scene of the crime along with the security tape showing Alma’s SUV at
the warehouse along with the gun in the vehicle. Jesus says that Alma is too smart for that and that Killeronica
has implicated Alma somehow. If
Astudillo believes Jesus, then he has to explain how did the murdered woman
write Alma’s name in blood. Jesus
has an answer for that too. It could have been written by someone else. Astudillo doesn’t believe that
Killeronica can be so macabre. Killeronica
hates Alma and Jesus and wants to separate them. She is capable of
anything. They have to do something. Talk to that witch and get the truth
out of her.
Astudillo wants to discuss it from a legal perspective with
Killeronica. Good luck.

Previously,

Padre Julian visits Tav and Simona. She wants to talk baptism for the baby, while Padre and Tav are concerned for the po’ folks and their needs. When a riled Tav exits the room, Simona tells the Padre she has to keep Tav on a tight leash. (So—her casa is his casa, but only to a limited extent?)

Neighborhood
Chit Chat, Slander and Stuff
Santa gives MC marriage advice—don’t
do it unless you have love. You must have love for marriage to work. MC agrees
that marital duties are only pleasant if love is involved. (So how does Tav stack up here? He’s MC’ only
experience.) Later, MC plays with Lupita on the bed, blowing lips and making
funny noises (maybe their best interaction so far). Her mind is elsewhere,
pondering a possible marriage.
Migreedy and Simona gossip in the
parlor, with Mig gleefully saying MC has a boyfriend and her time here is
almost up. Simona’s equally gleeful at hearing the news. Later, Simona asks Migreedy
to tell her the truth about her illness. He still insists it’s nerves, all
nerves, and nothing but nerves.
Clorinda visits Ester, who’s holding
her baby, and learns that JA and Ester are moving to Rancho Simona. Clo says
that won’t last long, since everyone knows Simona is dying. Ester is muy
impactada. Adding details, Clo says it’s
a brain tumor and Simona is getting what she deserves. She was stingy, indifferent and refused to
give alms. (The medical facts on this are skimpy.)

Things I learned this week...when stuck in a loveless marriage, drink! CI Wed October 24.2013
Dear Caray mates, I have to apologize for this recap, as some of you know I've had issues with my internet connection at home. I have called my provider more than once and they were to send a tech weeks ago to fix the issue, but he never showed up. Yesterday evening my internet connection went "boom", I called Time Warner and they sent out a tech, who turned out to be the jerk of the week, he came in, looked at the equipment and declared "yeah, this is not my problem or something I can fix", he was so rude that we asked him to leave, which left me with no internet connection at all, so the best I can do for you today is bullet points, and hopefully I can finish before I have to see clients. My apologies!

La Tempestad Capitulo 63, Wed 10/23/13 - To Bea or Not to Bea
The Uni snippers really did a number tonight. They left in way too much of Bea and Marina and kind of mixed up some of the other scenes. I hope this recap makes sense. Scenes left on the cutting room floor will be in BLUE.
¡Vamos!
Marina (who has been told Bea is sick in bed) sits with Bea who says she has something difficult to tell Marina. A secret she has held for many years. Something very important she has never told Marina but today she wants to tell her so she doesn’t take this secret to her tomb. Bea tells her daughter that she has always loved her and Marina has been everything to her. “Marina, you must know the truth about your provenance from my own mouth. I am your mother but not the woman who brought you into this world. You were put into my arms shortly after birth, but your real mother is another woman.” Marina says, now wait for it, “No puede ser!”

Casa de Paloma
Lila and Oriana share a little Mommy and Me time before
bedtime. Lina's had a dream about Papa –
she misses him. Oriana reminds her
Papa's no longer with us and says her dream may be Papa trying to tell her to
be a good little girl. During her prayers, Lina gives thanks for all they have
and asks God to tell her Papito he was the best Papi in the whole world and
they both miss him very much. Before
leaving her, Oriana takes Jose Luis' picture and places it between the pages of
a coloring book with the blue dolphin on the cover. (file that away, everyone, I'm sure it will
come up again)
Bar Bolo
Piero and Antonio discuss the subject of Sebastian over some
drinks. Piero is convinced Sebas is not
Ricky's son. He feels bad every time
Ricky speaks of Maria. Besides, Ricky
was so drunk there was no way he could have done the Dirty Deed. Scum Bag Antonio thinks otherwise. Maria was certainly no virgin and she seemed
to have plenty of “flight hours” (horas
de vuelo) – scum. How do they know
she hadn't slept with someone else the day before? He's sick and tired with Piero constantly
bringing it up (sacar a colación). Piero repeats he's bothered that Ricky's been
stuck with this problem. He brings up
the possibility of an ADN test! Antonio
wants to pass on that but Piero insists.
This would put their minds at ease.
Antonio wants nothing to do with that and wonder why, all of a sudden,
is Piero so bothered by this. Piero
explains it's because the sh!t has hit the ol' fan and he”s never seen Ricky so
bad off. “Well he'll just have to get
over it,” says Antonio. “It's a bit late
in the game for you to be all hot and bothered over it and try to put all the
pieces in place. If, as you say, it was
so difficult for the boy to find out about his true father, imagine how much
harder still it would be if you arrive with yet another story. What do you want? You want him to go crazy? cut open his veins? Shoot himself? What?
You need to chill and leave the past in the past. Drink your beer and relax.”

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!!

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.
