Mentir Para Vivir #20 Fri 11/1/13 He Returns From The Ashes, But A Grand Entrance It Ain’t
Capítulo
20
Lo
Del Pasado:
Oriana has been threatened by someone willing to
tell the world she’s not really Ines but the fugitive Oriana Caligaris. Oriana has told Ricardo and she’s determined
not to pay.
Lo
Del Nuevo:
An infuriated Oriana arrives at her friends’ new
B&B and indignantly accuses Raquel of writing the blackmail note out of
revenge for Ricardo having set his eyes on her instead. How could it be her, screams Raq. No way she’d stick the hangman’s noose around
her own neck that way. Oriana still has a
hard time believing that Raq’s innocent, and Raq says then they’ll have to be frenemies
since Oriana has finally shown her true metal [cobre=copper, brass]. They all go through the list of guests and
friends and nobody Lucina can think of had a reason to know, find out or of the
couple of people who owed her favors, none had a reason or an inclination toward
blackmail. Ok, says Oriana, then perhaps
it was Jose Luis! Raq is confused. “—isn’t
he dead?” Oriana looks like she wishes
he’d stay that way, too.
Meanwhile, Ric and Mariano have their own list of possible
blackmailers and they’ve crossed off everybody but Berto (apparently right
before the scene started). Mariano is
curious why. Ric says it could be he was
there, murdered his dad, and saw Oriana and Lina there. Mariano adds, then after he met her he put
the two together and tied up the loose ends.
Ric says he’s always had his doubts about the guy [dar mala espina]; and
now he has full reign of the company and could have waited for the opportune
moment to slip the note under 2nes’s door.
They figure it will be a total disaster for Paloma, 2nes and Lina if
this guy doesn’t get paid and goes through with his threats.
On the other hand, Ric sees no problem paying the
same monthly hush money to El Borrachon de Maligno Benigno for the really swell
way he took care of his daughter, Maria, all these years. Benny says to start anti-ing up a lot more
from now on or he’s going to let everybody know how macho Ric took advantage of
a mentally retarded girl all those years ago.
Ric says he’s not about to give him even a centavo more, especially
since he’s got witnesses now who’ll swear he was way too drunk to have been
physically able to do his daughter and that Benny knows it too! (Ok, but why then still think and act like he’s
your kid?) So, Maligno better think twice before
threatening Ric again, or he can forget about not only the money but that guest house he’s been living in rent free
all these years as well! Your decision,
dude!
A few hours later, Ric’s aunt calls in tears over
the fit Maria threw. She begs him to get
her out of her house and to stick her in an insane asylum or a psych hospital
somewhere, anywhere but there! Oriana’s
in his office and hears all of it; Ric mentions he found out how Maria attacked
her also. Ori says it was no big deal,
then tearfully tells him they both have too many problems and need their
space. She’s breaking it off. He refuses to believe it and will fight to
convince her otherwise, he tells her. (Fine, but not now.) She leaves.
He grieves.
Later that day, Paloma notes 2nes’s sad face and
tells her she doesn’t believe breaking things off with Ric is a smart
move. It won’t solve a thing. “—There’s nothing that can’t be solved by
talking it through.” The hassles with
Maria, Sebastardo and such cannot be reason enough to break up. Something else has to be up. 2nes can’t open up and tell her the truth.
Ric has a heart to heart with Piero in the park and
now Pierro knows the truth about True-nes and 2nes also. Pierro feels it was Lucina and Raqi, but Ric
says it couldn’t be since they’d be in trouble with the law also. Ok then, offers Pierro, perhaps her little
girl told somebody?
Ric finds Lina in the garden and he explains that he
knows the truth about her and her mother because her mother told him. He finds out from her that she hasn’t said a
word about any of that to anybody. Ric
excitedly calls Oriana to tell her how he knows it couldn’t have been Lina, but
she reads him the riot act over involving her little girl. Ric’s confused. He thought he was doing a good think eliminating
Lina as having accidentally spilling the frijoles to the wrong somebody. It was
hard enough getting the little girl to swallow the lies about her daddy’s death
and then to get her to think in terms of their new identities for him to muck
it up like that, she yells back at him over the phone. She hangs up on him. He tries calling back and she ignores the phone
and walks out of her bedroom.
He goes upstairs to check on Maria and overhears the
hassle with her nurse over the antique doll.
He scolds her for throwing a fit over the doll and warns her if she
keeps it up he’ll send her away where they will teach her how to behave. [Puhleeese!
For the love of gawd, do it now! Maybe if Fidelia tried leaving all those broken dishes, picture frames and antiques right where they lay till Ric gets home I think he'd change his tune in a DF minute.]
She wants to stay, she says; besides, Sebastian is coming by and he
promised her that she could stay there as long as she didn’t tell anybody
about---!” “—What? About what?”
Maria shuts up tight as a drum.
She covers with a little white lie and Ric’s head is pounding by
now. He and the nurse leave the room for
a discussion about Maria’s earlier behavior.
The nurse thinks all she may need is a change of medication. (I agree with Fidelia that she needs to be
interned somewhere. Maria definitely is not
ready for social prime time.)
When bedtime comes for Alina, Oriana makes sure to
remind her that she still cannot tell a soul the truth about themselves.
Sebastian arrives at Paloma’s manse a few minutes later to take Fabiola, at this point still sweet sixteen and never been
kissed, to the party. Mama Madhilde
comes to her daughter’s side for last minute advice and admonishments,
especially no drinking! Sebastardo
promises to treat Fabi right and to
chauffeur her promptly to and fro.
Cesar comes home and tells his mother and dad that
he’s quit his job at the company and plans to become a missionary priest. Madhilde has a fit but Cesar tells her he
grew up and is making his own decisions now.
Ruben this time actually stops his wife from going after Cesar like a
rabid dog and tells her to let it be.
After all, it could be “the call of Dios”. She tells him that’s a bunch of bunk cuz Dios
would never allow a son to be separated from a mother like her! “--Oh, well if you mean a suffocating,
possessive and controlling mother like you, then yes!!” (Viewerville does a hive five at the screen
for Ruben finally rockin’ it.)
Across the way at Ric’s, Fidelia begs him to take
Maria have her put away. The woman is
simply not ready for civil society!
It’s his son’s mother and she’s his responsibility, he reminds her
angrily. Sure as heck is, but she’s not
her responsibility, is his aunt’s flustered and frustrated response. He backs off a bit and finally sweet talks his
aunt into giving him one more chance.
At the party we see numerous twenty-somethings. Fabiola definitely makes it look like Seb’s into cradle-robbing. She’s too square a peg for his fast circle of
friends. Grease-ball Berto and the ravishing Raquel
are both there. Berto finds out whose daughter she is and
tells him she doesn’t seem to fit in at all.
Sebastardo says he’ll get her to
loosen up. First thing he tries is giving her alcohol
and getting her drunk. Berto sees the way things are heading with Seb
and Fabi and mentions it to Raq. She
says she figures the girl’s gotta get laid sometime. Tonight’s
as good as any. (Funny how Berto hasn’t
put the moves on Raqi yet.)
Neither Ric nor 2nes can get to sleep because they’re
both upset over her having to break off their relationship. FF>>
Meanwhile, Madhilde waits up for Fabiola. Fabi’s in the drive sitting in Seb’s
car. Seb starts putting the moves on
her, telling her that he gets to paw her now that they’re going steady. (Viewerville keeps waiting for Mama Madhilde
to signal with the driveway lights or something.) Fabiola
sneaks into the house a long while later and we never learn if Seb got past
first base or not. (Damn!) Mama is mad that she’s come in so late. Fabi passes
Mama’s manual breathalyzer test and promises she’ll never come home that late
again.
Early the next morning Cesar is over at the padre’s
to let him know that he finally told his parents what he had planned to do with
the rest of his life. Mariano tries
talking him out of it, thinking that he might just be looking for a way to
escape his mother’s clutches. Yes, he is
doing that, but he also wants to do something useful for society and Dios. This is what he thinks is best. Maddy calls him and finds him over at the
rectory with Mariano. She immediately
blames Mariano of brainwashing her son, and tells Paloma as much. Paloma suggests that he’s old enough to
decide for himself. She strongly hints
for her to let him do what he wants.
Back in San Carlos along the coast, we see a taxi
dropping off a fare by the abandoned, former El Descanso looking more and more
like a huge mausoleum in the middle of nowhere.
The driver asks if the passenger is certain he wants to stay there
because the place isn’t a hotel any longer.
He tells his passenger the story about how they killed a rich man right
there at that hotel, that they say it was a woman, but could have been her
little girl. Either way, they ran off
from the place and after that the business went to Hell along with its
reputation.
The man’s got a single briefcase with him, full of multi-dollar bills, and he hands one to the driver before getting out for a look-see. He carries a large teddy bear in the other hand. Guessy who-ooooo! Daddy’s home! It’s Jose Luis, come back from the dead and looking for his family! (OMG! Compared to Ric, I got to admit this is one handsome villano I am going to abhor abhorring.)

Guessy who-ooooo! Daddy’s home! It’s Jose Luis, come back from the dead and looking for his family! (OMG! Compared to Ric, I got to admit this is one handsome villano I am going to abhor abhorring.)
Jose Luis walks inside and takes a look around. The place is a literal dump! Beer bottles and old food and newspapers are
in piles all over the place. (Surprisingly, no rats were hired as extras
for this scene.) The dumb, drunk dude he
hired as a side-kick has spent all the money on pizza and beer instead of
having a cleaning crew come in to get it ready for guests and JL is
pissed! He also wants to know what Dumb Dude…Eliseo?
has found out about where his family
went off to when the place was sold. DD
tells JL that he heard the owners bought another small hotel in Hermosillo but
he couldn’t find out a thing about his wife and daughter.
Jose Luis heads down to the pool and finds Manolo
there giving the place a cursory security check. He introduces himself as Santos Carvajal. He tells
Manolo that he plans to turn the place into his residence once he fixes the
place back up. He gossips a bit to the “new
owner” about the murder and how they say it was the little girl who killed the
rich man, but that the gun used was too heavy a caliber for a little six year
old to hold let alone shoot. And what
happened to her and her mother? Oh, they
fled and nobody’s heard hide nor hair of them since. Mano suggests
another hotel up the road for Sr. Carvajal and explains it was in much better
shape when the last owners had the place, but that now after a murder and an
unknown dead girl on the beach, the people in the area think it’s cursed
[salado] property.
Mano
gives JL a lift to the hotel up the beach and JL stops to ask him for Lucina
and Raqi’s phone number. Mano is suspicious and wants to know
why. Jose Luis lies and says they left a
few things in the storeroom and lost their phone number. He needs
to know whether to send the things up to them or to throw them away. Mano starts searching his cell phone contacts
list and the credits roll.

La Tempestad, Capítulo 70, Friday, November 1, 2013: If you love me, kill her.
First we have a special treat in honor of Él día de los muertos:
People on the Patio chats with Becky and José
NovelaMaven: Tonight we get to spend some time with two of our favorite characters and find out how they feel about the shabby way Univisión has treated them.
Tía Becky, many of us still recall your arrival in Nuestra Señora del Mar, all that flirty energy you brought to the scene with just a skoosh of… do forgive me…vulgarity. You gave a triple espresso jolt to that rather dull household where Marina and Beatriz had settled in like two prissy spinsters. And when you and Marina shared a scene, Marina seemed…I don't know…animated.
Tía Becky: It's true. At first, Marina was a little stiff. We'd have to loosen her up before filming by doing tequila shots together (the good stuff, not the paint thinner Candy sells in La Guac).
[TB turns, lifts an elegantly manicured finger to beckon a waiter: Un whiskey doble, por favor]
NM: I'm glad that you bring that up, Becky. Let's talk about your drinking…

Weekend Discussion: Remakes (Again? Por Supuesto....)
While I am looking forward to Lo Que La Vida Me Robó I have to wonder just how long it should take to do a remake of anything, especially by the same network. I never saw the 1983 original (Bodas de Odio), so I don't have a basis for comparison to Amor Real. Updating the story to the present should change a few plot points and character traits, especially for the female protagonist.
There are many novelas remade multiple times by Televisa and for different reasons. I end up wondering why they try remaking something that's already perfect and whether anyone will ever stop to think that Enough is Enough and let's do something new for a change.

La Tempestad – 10/31/13 On Halloween, A Tale of Curses Fallen
The witches curse from:
Third Charm from Masque of Queens
by Ben
Jonson, 1609
The owl is abroad, the bat, and the toad,
And so is the cat-a-mountain,
The ant and the mole sit both in a hole,
And the frog peeps out o' the fountain;
The dogs they do bay, and the timbrels play,
The spindle is now a turning;
The moon it is red, and the stars are fled,
But all the sky is a-burning:
The ditch is made,
and our nails the spade,
With pictures full,
of wax and of wool;
Their livers I stick,
with needles quick;
There lacks but the blood,
to make up the flood.
Quickly, Dame, then bring your part in,
Spur, spur upon little Martin,
Merrily, merrily, make him fail,
A worm in his mouth, and a thorn in his tail,
Fire above, and fire below,
With a whip in your hand,
to make him go.
Mexico
City
It
is hard to say if anything but
The
curse of rogue witches could cause such woe.
Mercedes
is poised to speak the truth with what
Courage
she has, to Marina she must go.
Who
receive the news, so hard to believe?
El
Capitan and Claudio give ear
Good
luck says Claudio, thinking naïve
Mercedes’
fond hope. May her daughter hear!

Mentir Para Vivir #19 Thu 10/31/13 Instalar para (Intentar) Manejar
Paloma is glad that they've found Maria again. She's worried that Fidelia won't be able to handle her. Ricardo tells her about what happened when Fidelia tried to call Paloma and got Matilde instead. Inés thinks Fidelia will get the hang of dealing with Maria. Ricardo takes his leave and Paloma and Inés discuss the possibility of Ricardo marrying Maria. Paloma thinks that's ridiculous. Ricardo has done the best he can. Clearly Ricardo is in love with Inés and Paloma is glad to see him so happy. Paloma figures Maria will be fine as long as she's taken care of. She wants Inés to take care of herself and not consider the possibility of Ricardo being stuck in a marriage he doesn't want. Inés verifies with Paloma that Matilde doesn't know anything about her "past."
Ricardo fills Mariano in on the latest developments. He's also tormented with the idea that he "should have" married Maria. He wants to marry Oriana, though, but she brought up the same question--who would he be marrying? Oriana or Inés? Mariano tells him that the church wouldn't obligate him to marry someone who's not in her right mind, so there's no concern on that score. They both ponder the change in Sebastian's attitude.
Raquel runs into Inés in the courtyard and talks to her about the work on the new hotel, Berto being their first guest, and the guy who bought El Descanso asking about Oriana. The name Eliseo Martinez doesn't ring a bell with Inés, but Raquel passes on the theory that the mystery man is Oriana's husband.

CI Capítulo 123 – Thur., 10-31-13. -- Maricruz and Octavio Face Off in the Battle for Lupita: Round 1 Concludes, Alliances Emerge, and Simona Suffers Collateral Damage.
Battlefield bulletins and reports
are included in this recap. Many scenes are combined to reduce whiplash and/or ennui.
Feel free to add more detail in comments.
If we missed the previous episode,
Ester lets Padre Julian (and viewerville) know that Octavio kidnapped Lupita
from her home with Maricruz. We also see
Ester crying and praying that MC will get her child back. After all, MC helped
save Ester and her son during his birth; now Ester repents of any evil deeds
she committed against MC.
Bulletin #1 Aggrieved mother MC, accompanied by local official
Morales, enters Simona’s and Tav’s home to demand the return of her daughter.
Stalled by their refusal, MC pulls out her big ammo—Simona will pay for this
dastardly deed and it won’t be long: she’s a dying woman! MC will Reveal All to Simona, including Tav’s
planned desertion, if they don’t return Lupita. Mig buckles and tells Tav to
return the child, so a teary Tav brings a droopy Lupi downstairs and delivers
her to MC’s eager arms.
Bulletin #2 Simona is suffering flak injuries from MC’ broadside. She insists Tav
explain things—why didn’t he let MC talk? Tav says MC was just making up stuff
and Simona should “trust him.” (We’ve heard that one before.) Tav thinks MC is playing dirty by trying to
blackmail him. He later assures Mig that he’s over the MC sickness and he’ll take
back his daughter.

Corazon Indomable #122 Galan #6 to the rescue! Where is Galan#7 when MC needs him?
This episode is so crazy and all over the place that I'm not sure I can keep up. The back and forth is hurting my brain and I think it's going to explode. Here is the best I can do.
Santa doesn't put up much of a fight when Octavio takes little Lupita from the only family and house she knows. But she doesn't cry or put up a fuss, so I guess she's ok with it. MC and Juanita come back from shopping and find out that Lupita has been kidnapped. Wondering where Octavio could have gone with Lupita, Santa says that he probably took her to his home and MC is surprised by this. Simona's house? He took her to Simona's house? Santa: Yes, he lives there. (Actual conversation). But MC stands her ground. No one knows what she's capable of!!!! He won't get away with this!!!

La Tempestad Capitulo 68 , Wed 10/30/13 - Lots of pining, too much whining, and too little reclining
Otra vez with the crazy cuts. Some scenes are out of order but hopefully it all makes sense. They cut out some key stuff again. Cut scenes are in PURPLE.
We start where we left off, with DamWistful and Marina separated in body but together in thought:
"Ay Marina." "Ay Damian." Our lovers pine for each other.
Hernan and Ursula have lunch. He thinks Fully is behind the telephone hijinks. Ernie is dead so it must be Fully. Ursula’s not so sure.
Meanwhile Fully fumes about running for Mayor. He’s also pithed because Hernan is trying to shoehorn him out of the mob. He won’t permit it because he wants to be the boss of everyone! He has someone who can look into Ernie’s will. Furthermore, if he (Fully) loses control then he won’t be able to defend Mercedes against those who are attacking her. Interesting.

Mentir Para Vivir #18 Wed 10/30/13 How do you solve a problem like Maria?
La Feria
Maria tries to get on a ride, but she's
run out of tickets --- and the buitres
(vultures) are circling, offering to take her to find her father. Later, Maria
walks through the nearly empty fairgrounds, followed closely by those
predators. She goes on and on about how she'd love to have a carousel in her
home, but it's too small. But her husband, Ricky's house is plenty big enough
for a carousel! Wait, what? You say your husband has a big house?
The she-predator tries to get the full name of said husband. They
convince her it's getting late and why don't they go home now, to their house,
and they can go find Ricky in the morning. They promise they have lots of
dolls and a tele. Maria goes merrily along
Caretaker Elvira arrives at the fair looking for Maria but isn’t
able to find a trace of her.

Someone has a red neck
Verónica is licking her lips because her plan came out perfect.
-Not so perfect- says Roger while grabbing her arm and pulling her -you're doing a lot of harm-
-Stop it! Between you and Jesús are going to tear my arms off!!
-Ok, ok, keep your arms, I am going to choke you!, here, take this!
-Mmmhhgggg, mmmghhhffff!!
Domitila shows up walking like she doesn't want to pop balloons on the floor, just in time to stop another murder, and Roger lets Verónica go...
-Damn! Now I owe my life to the help!
I am not a serial killer, so I don't understand why most of them have to post all the pictures of the people they want to kill, on a wall and cross them out with huge red ''exes''. Couldn't they just make a list in their minds and not have this physical proof that incriminates them once anybody sees it? I mean, what is the purpose? Keeping track? Isn't there an app for that? Why not make a list and keep it in the shirt pocket? Juárever, Verónica has a cork board on the wall with all the pictures and she goes and hits it with a knife every time she is upset, which is most of the time. That board has more holes than a strainer...
But knowing that Roger has found out about that wall has sealed Cynthia's fate, because she was the one who told Roger and knowing how gossipy everybody here is, Roger probably already told Jesús and now I am sure all Avon knows it... do you know what this means? First she has to go to Cynthia's Facebook page and download her picture for the wall, and then... After Cynthia, Roger is next!

He took Lupita! God help him! CI 10/29/13
Hi everyone-
We had a minor snafu and there won't be a full recap today, maybe tonight I can do something to fill everyone in on what happened last night. I did not watch the whole episode but did catch the last few minutes, I can tell you that Octavio thought it was a good idea to take Lupita from Santa by force. I have a feeling that he is going to regret that cause sh*t just got real.
In the mean time feel free to discuss last night's episode :)

thoughts on the Jesse Jackson Baby Scandal.
If This Car’s A

Outside of the Bolo Bar, in full view of the other patrons, Raquel
conquers Cesar while riding astride him in his tiny chariot.
Unfortunately panting with
Pretty Ricky rather than painting the
walls of the garish blue bungalow is foremost on Oriana’s mind. At his bedroom's threshold, she tells him that she doesn’t want to get
preggers. Ricky guarantees that he won’t knock
her up until after he marries her. They
go in the bedroom and get busy.
Later, in the driveway, outside of Paloma’s mansion, Ricky
continues feasting on Oriana’s lips like she’s his last meal and the chef just
bought a gravy bowl to the table. They
pause only when Raquel knocks on the car window and makes hand signals to
Oriana, indicating that she is watching her.
Oriana spots Cesar and asks Ricky if he thinks that Cesar and Raquel are
an item. Ricky could care less. He says that he wants to formalize their
engagement and rams his tongue down her throat.

PEAM, Tuesday 10/29/13 (#166): Bloodshed and Anemia
Chucho isn't impressed with the voicemail message that was found on Alma's phone. Delia calls in some favors and gets a few police officers to help Chucho go around the neighborhood with photos of potential witnesses from the security camera. Chucho finds out that one particular guy who may have gotten a good look at the shooter's face is a vagrant named Cristobal.
Remember I joked a while back that Vero needs lots of sleep to keep up her busy schedule of bitchery? Today she visits Alma in prison to gloat. There's a minimum 30 year sentence for murder, she taunts. Despite feeling crummy, Alma musters up enough bile to counter-taunt. "Jesus is MINE and he will NEVER be yours! You'll lose your child and then you will rot from the inside. You will die of hatred."
Chucho is waiting in his car at the murder warehouse in hopes that Cristobal will come around. Rog comes out to see him and talk about Vero and Alma. Chucho brings him up to date on the investigation and shows him Cynthia's foto of Vero's Gallery of Grief or Wall of Woe or Mural de Muertos.
Chucho notes that Rogelio really is changing. Abashed, Rog says he still has lots of secrets. He wants to free himself of all his past misdeeds and hints that a big punishment awaits.

La Tempestad, October 28, 2013. Capitulo 66.
This was actually 2 episodes. The unseen parts are in red.
DamFab recalls Marina telling him
he's going to be a father again. Marina rubs her belly and tells the unborn baby
that they will all be happy together.
Ursullied tells
Estercita that the necklace she is wearing was given to her by Hernan and she
came to show Fully. Estercita says it's pretty, but not the same quality as her
jewelry. Ursullied wants to know who gave her her nice jewels. Estercita says
she will tell her another time, but right now wants to talk to her dad alone.
She tells Fully that DamFab gave her divorce papers. She needs his help. If
things keep going this way, he will lose his grandson.
Hernan in the hot red pants is
kissing some hoochie. He reminds her that he doesn't like surprises.
Fully yells at Estercita for naming
the baby after Michel Fabre. Estercita tells Fully
that his grandson really is Ernesto's and not DamFab's. (I thought he already
knew?).
Macario visits
Ernesto. Ernesto thinks in all the years Macario has worked for him, he thought
he knew him. But ever since Macario started working for Hernan he has become a
traitor. Macario denies the whereabouts of Estercita and son. Ernesto says stop
lying. Macario finally admits he knows but won't tell him. You took my family
away from me and now you will not be able to find yours. I want you to suffer the
way I did all these years. You will never, never see your son again!
Fully says he knew it!
How could you register my grandson with that name? He is Ernesto's! All this
for that man. Estercita promises to compensate him. Fully agrees to help but
only because his grandson is Ernesto's.

Mentir Para Vivir #16 Mon 10/28/13 A lovers’ first quarrel, a mysterious figure that slowly approaches and …Raquel making the rounds.
Yesterday:
Oriana was invited to
have dinner at Ricardo’s blue bungalow; when he offered to take her home, she tried a some of her seductive powers on him – worked like a charm.
They broke some
glasses, stumbled around for a bit and ended up in the bedroom.
(I’m not sure how much
of the love scene each of us got to see, so
in the name of full disclosure – no pun intended – I’ll try my best to give all the important
details, you know, for better clarity.)
Today:
Ricardo loses his
jacket and shirt before even getting to the bedroom, and once they are near his
bed, Oriana’s dress comes off, too.
So, five minutes into
the episode, we have both of them down to the underwear and the music changes
its tune to something more sensual.
A lot (I mean A LOT) of
kissing and some real nakedness ensues, but thankfully those strategically
placed sheets do their job just fine.
Once the did is over, Ricardo
is holding a hand over Oriana’s very naked chest, dozing off at the same time,
and she’s lazily caressing his arm – now, that’s what I call acting, I’m not
sure I could be that comfortable being naked with a stranger, not even if he
were one of my telenovios (and Zepeda is not in the selected club, anyway).
Before the
scene is over, Ricardo opens his eyes ever so briefly and his gaze rests on
Oriana’s hand, with her wedding rings as bright as ever on her finger – you
can’t tell me this is the first time he notices them, I’ve been screaming about
this since they first met.

PEAM #165-10/28/13: Chucho Is On the Case; Xochi Has Big News, The Return of Rico Suave!
Hola PEAM Peeps! I am subbing for our wonderful Ms Cheryl who is in Oxaca for a couple of weeks. This recap will be short and sweet, maybe ; ) and mostly in order. I am skipping the old and going straight to the new.
Luisa is much better. Chatita and Sebas make a good team in watching her as Chucho is going to have a muy busy day.
Alma in the jail is being formally charged with Marta's murder. No bail for poor Alma. She will stay incarcerated. Astudillo later calls Chucho and tells him the same.
Pato, Rog and little Ferny are all sleeping, but Ruh Roh, little Ferny wakes up and cries, and Pato tries to wake Rog, who is very slow to wake up. Pato gets up and tends to the bebe, Rog rubs his eyes and they talk about Alma being in la carcel, they are both worried about her, and Rog asks Pato to marry him sooner rather than later!
Chucho has a new job! He is becoming like M. Hercule Poirot, like a dog that won't let go of a bone, in other words, like a detective and Delia is going to have that device tested for substances. Chucho's theory is that it was full of some type of drug that knocked Alma out when she turned on the air conditioner. Chucho is also going to check around the pharmacy where Alma went, to see if anyone saw anything.

Corazon Indomable #120, 10/28/2013: Otra Vez, el Burro al Trigo!
The Old: Migreedy
convinces JackAss to write a letter implying that he (JA) had a sexual
relationship with Maricruz, when she was married to Tav, and get it post-dated.
Tav threatens MC with taking away Lupita, if she’s raising their daughter in an
unfit/immoral environment, while Engineer Moustache (aka Alvaro) listens unnoticed.
The New:
Tav continues to fight for the title of Worst Galan Ever by telling MC that due to her reduced circumstances she’s likely going to prostitute herself (not his exact words, but the spirit of them), and won’t be able to provide adequately for their daughter even doing that. Lupita will just be a burden and impediment to her, so MC should just give Lupita to him. (Alvaro slips out unnoticed.) MC insists she’s not living an immoral life, and WILL marry Engineer Alvaro, who has been nothing but supportive. Plus, she’s a free woman! They go back and forth for a while with many of the same arguments they used 60 episodes ago, when the odd man out was the Love Gov (e.g. Lupita is MY daughter, mine alone/I won’t let you raise my daughter in an unfit environment). At the end, MC basically tells him over her dead body will she be separated from her daughter, and if he tries to take her away, she’ll kill him like the dog he is! (Please do!)
