PEAM, Tuesday 11/12/13 (#176): Hugs, Kisses, Clues, and Dead Ends
After work, Ferni and Xochi visit Fernando's dad at the old folks' home. Dad is aquiver with tentative excitement and Parkinson's. He's been keeping up with his sons' lives through the newspapers; he read about Fernando's wedding and Rogelio's imprisonment. Maybe someone should tell him about these recaps.
Dad is remorseful and contrite about being such a lousy father; he doesn't blame Fernando for not having visited sooner. Fernando explains that Rogelio actually told him that their father was dead. Dad doesn't blame Rog for that, either. Fernando tells him not to dwell on the past - there's still the future, and five new grandchildren on the way!
Dad says it was worth the wait to finally see Fernando again. Fernando forgives him, and they hug.
It's Friday the 7th of June, by the way. Valentina is aghast that her father and Alma have to wait nearly a year and a half to get married in the cathedral of their choice. (It's where Alma's parents got married. Look how well that marriage turned out!) Then the phone rings. Guess who it is? Guess!

CI #131 -- Lost and Found: Simona Misplaces The Mini-Tav While Nilda Makes Contact With Solita
We settle in for another round of redneck hobsnobbery as the doc is informing Esther, Octavio and Miguel
that Jose Antonio will be off the job for the next two weeks, and admits that
he has a legal duty to report the shooting. Esther goes in to chat with her hubby while Migui
and Tav ask if the doc knows who shot JA and why. The doc tells them what JA told him: that it
was a tenant from Rancho Narvaez over some personal dispute. (Sorry, Doc, but the name’s been changed to El
Abuelo. I suppose they forgot to make
the script change…..) Tav thinks out
loud saying he’s relieved it wasn’t about “her”…..la Sra. Maricruz. Migui does a quick verbal shuffle explaining
how Esther and she don’t get along and that perhaps JA wanted to avoid having
to mention her name. The doc says nope,
nothing like that and then takes his leave.
Migui does another mental number on Tav to make him continue to doubt MC’s
good character when it comes to other men in the region.

Mentir Para Vivir #26 Mon 11/11/13 Mentir para engañar a la tonta de Lila
Jose Luis is explaining Eliseo that he bailed on Raquel’s inauguration
party because he can’t be seen by his wife just yet. Idiot Eliseo thinks this
is Corazon Indomable and some beard and a different hair could forbid Oriana from
recognizing her husband, but JL knows better.
Joaquin calls just then and JL explains that he found the company to use
for their lavado de dinero (money laundering)
– they don’t need the capital, but he’s sure he can pull off the transaction.
We don’t hear how much money they’ll “invest”, but it’s a lot.
Eliseo tries to find out what is the deal, but JL puts him in his place.
Casa Bonita is getting ready for the big opening, with a pool filled of
flower petals. Nice.
Ruben is getting all dressed up to go to the party; since Madhilde wasn’t
invited, she wants him to refuse attendance, too – normally, I’d agree with the
wife in situations like this, but this is Maddy, so she has it well deserved.
She thinks they should have at least invited her as a gesture and if she
can’t go, then Ruben won’t either. But he really, really wants to go – and he
states this in a ridiculous childish voice, like he was a 10 year old going to
his first sleep over.
Maddy accuses him of sleeping with one of the women, el desgraciado!
Oriana, Alina, Ricardo and Paloma arrive at the party; Lucina welcomes
them, as Raquel looks on. Then she notices that Lucina is searching for Ruben
in the crowd. Raquel explains that Francisco isn’t attending because he’s in a
business trip; Lucina implies that something might be going on between Raquel
and Francisco, because, you know, she’s Raquel.

La Tempestad, November 11, 2013. Capitulo 76.
DamFab comes to tell his daughter and Marina good night. Ungrateful Marina tells him there is no need. Just because their daughter was born doesn't mean anything has changed. Estercita is still expecting a another child of his. DamFab reminds her that it was a set-up. Marina recognizes that, but he let himself fall victim. DamFab feels that the baby Estercita is expecting is not his. He asks her to have confidence in him. He loves her. They kiss.
Mexico City: Crazy Hernan tells Ernesto how much he really hates him. You have turned me into a man without scruples. He pulls out a gun. Ernesto asks him if he would kill his own father. Crazy eyed Hernan tells him to come up with a better lie. Ernesto says he is not afraid of death and is not lying. But you told me you killed by parents replies Hernan. Ernesto says I ordered the man who raised you to die. I liked your mother but she kept rejecting me. So that is why I took her by force. Shut up! yells Hernan. You are making me tell you everything and you will know the truth. She kept quiet so that I wouldn't do anything to her husband. Somehow he found out the truth and that is why I ordered for them both to be killed. How can you talk about this coldly? Ernesto says in this type of business there are no feelings. That is why I never told you where they were buried. There was no reason for you to mourn them. Crazy eyed Hernan grabs Ernesto and says he's going to kill him. Ernesto dares him to shoot the man that gave him life. Crazy eyed Hernan tells Ernesto he detests him. He can't kill him, but life is a b!tch and it will make him pay for all he has done. Ernesto says he knew that Hernan didn't have the balls to do it. Ernesto tells Hernan that even though he has become a traitor, he can't kill him since he is his son. Hernan says he preferred to never know that Ernesto is his father. I would rather have died not knowing the truth. He leaves.

PEAM #175, Nov. 11 - Penultimate Monday - A Night Without Veronica Is A Night To Party, Party, Party
With heartfelt thanks to our military men and women who give so much to their country, I hope we all observed and honored this Veterans Day (named Veterans Day in 1954) was established in 1919 and re-dedicated in 1938 as Armistice Day, November 11, celebrated and dedicated to the cause of world PEACE. Anyway, happy holiday to our heroes!!
But enough for now we need to see Yuri approaching the doomed Rogelio at the prison that has become so like a fraternity meet up until Yuri steps into the cafeteria to scare the recovering wheel chair bound curly top. Both looked like there are great barbers in the prison.
Jesus is rushing to set up interference in the prison but Yuri's flunkies roll Rogelio to his date with Picadillo. Yuri waves a plastic spoon letter opener or juarever while he threatens but the wheel chair is left empty while Rogelio stabs Yuri with his weapon, suddenly when Jesus can get no action from the police because they haven't heard any death screams, the death screams come from a bloodied Yuri. Rather than being astounded in fear, the adoring Yuri crowd celebrates the fall of the giant and Jack rides off in triumph for the moment.
Chatita's diagnosis of sore throat is confirmed by the real doctor who assures her and Alma that baby Luisa is perfectly well.

Corazon Indomable #130, 11/11/13: Ren & Stimpy Rule the World!...uhm, the Ranch!; Who Shot JA?
You keep your dream, and I'll keep the money! – Ren & Stimpy
Ren and Stimpy, aka Miguel and Tav, discuss taking over the
world, uhm… $imona’s ranch. Dimwitted Stimpy agrees to put the management of
$imona’s lands in Ren’s eager greedy hands. Tav will do the legal paper work. Happy-happy, joy-joy! (Ren & Stimpy)
Miguel knocks back a double shot of tequila, and convinces
Tav that it’s best that no one else know just how crazy Simona is. But then he
turns around and tries once again to convince Tav to lock her up, since she could
be a danger to both of their sons. Tav refuses.
At Rancho Abuelo, MC and Juanita ream Perico out about
impregnating Solita, especially given that Solita is still recovering from pneumonia
and is in delicate health. Perico doesn’t seem to understand how this could be
(uhm, shall we explain it with dolls or stick figures?). MC insists that they
need to be married by the Church, immediately. Juanita is a little less
understanding and calls him a criminal! After the dumb shock wears off, Perico seems
to be happy about the news, but for some stupid reason he doesn’t mention that
he and Solita are already married by law (por el civil). He does say that he
loves Solita. He has no family and was raised like an animal in the mountains
(that explains a lot!). MC is cool with him, as long as he doesn’t leave his
child in the same wild animal conditions. And he needs a plan for supporting
his woman and his two kids. He assures them that this wasn’t Solita’s fault and
they love each other. Juanita’s ready to tear him a new one, but MC thinks what’s
done is done, and now they need to get the Padre to marry them. Then MC scolds
Juanita for her part in not preventing the horny teenagers from having sex,
because that’s the priority when there are two toddlers to look after. Perico
runs upstairs to see Solita, and MC waxes romantic about leaving the kids alone
to enjoy their sweet romance (well, the damage IS already done).

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE, week of November 11, 2013. La Reina del Sur is back in town!
Jean and I decided to try something a little different this week. Since there is already a lot of interest in the continuing novelas, Marido en Alquiler and Santa Diabla, and the rebroadcast of La Reina del Sur is likely to stir up a flurry of its own, we have decided to post THREE SEPARATE PAGES:
This page -- THE FRONT PAGE -- is the space for discussions of La Reina del Sur, ¿Dónde Está Elisa? and any other Telemundo, Unimas or Mundo2 shows.
Feel free to copy and paste our old comments and recaps of La Reina here. Some of us have seen this one, maybe more than once, and are planning to sit out this showing. But if you have already seen the novela and want to join the conversation, please go ahead! But remember that this remains a SPOILER-FREE page.
Novelera has offered to write a full recap of the first episode of La Reina del Sur to get things started. After that, you can figure out what you'd like to do -- recap? mini-recap? just discuss? borrow from the past? It's up to you, Telemundo fans!
Remember: Post comments and mini-recaps (or not so mini-recaps) for
Santa Diabla on its own separate page
here; and for
Marido en Alquiler on its own separate page
here.

La Tempestad #75- 11/8/13- Que Lastima!!!!
Ahoy my Tempestad Maties. This recap brought to you by a little ditty I changed the words to. Please grab your coffee, your tea, your rum, your dark and stormy, juarever and sing along as you read this recap. Also deleted scenes will be in my favorite color Purple.
The Tale of The Tempestad (Sung to the theme song for "Gilligan's Island")
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started on a hot August night
Aboard this network UNI
The recappers were a mighty bunch
The viewers all were glued to WL
We passengers set sail that day for a three month tour
A three month tour
The ratings started getting rough
The scissors them came out
If not for the courage of the fearless recappers
This Tempest would be lost
This Tempest would be lost.
This Tempest found a lovely home on Caray Caray
With Gloria, and Mauricio
The Capitan and NovelaMaven
Elna June and Madelaine too and of course
The viewers and commenters too,
Here on Caray Caray.
Marina tells DamSad she promised to marry Herny, her word is her bond, yadda, yadda, that's it!
Laz and SHUTUPROSY having a chat, about why he was gonna be killed and who was gonna kill Laz. No never mind about that. Why didn't she tell him who the bebe daddy of Laz was? Fully took advantage of her, yadda, yadda, he married Delfina. Laz always wondered why Fully was always trying to help him. Doesn't want Fully in his life. SHUTUPROSAY wants to know what Laz is gonna do, now that he knows?

Porque el Amor Manda #174: More Monkeyshines
[Done from memory, without notes...because WHY SHOULD I WORK HARDER THAN THE WRITERS?]
Roger gets all prettied up for the jailhouse wedding. We know he's a good guy now coz they finally found him some shoes that don't clash with his suit. Paty has more fabric in her left sleeve than the whole rest of her dress, casual. They kind of fast-forward through the ceremony, which in typical Mexican fashion has five times more document-signing than kissing, but juarevs -- everyone's all smiles. No lasso of love, but I guess it's not the venue. Domi catches the bouquet, and she and Cantu do the happy dance.
Afterward the beaming couple repair to the rose-petal strewn prison infirmary conjugal suite, where Paty strips down to a particularly fetching Federico's of Monterrey number that has Rog's eyes popping. She bounces around on the bed, urging him to come and get it, rise and shine, throw away those crutches and walk, baby -- and he does! It's sort of a cross between Joanna Spyri's
Heidi and a Viagra commercial, and yes, that's as creepy as it sounds. I don't think the monkeys should be allowed to collaborate. They have such different visions.

Corazon Indomable Episode #129: The Various Coats of Octavio Narvaez
We begin with JA/MC discussing Simona. MC wants the Narvaez
family to feel the pain she felt when they kidnapped Lupita (Too bad, I don’t
think either of them care about Simona that much). However, since she is much
better in character because she agrees to let JA take her back home. (The talk about
something that I did not quite catch but I believe it referred to MC suspecting
JA about something).
Simona returns to her house without a care in the world. She
informs our two upstanding men of honor (insert dripping sarcasm here) that she
just came back from a pleasant visit with Lucia. Miguel looks shocked while
Octavio is worried. She bids them goodnight and tells them that they better go
back home because Lucia is waiting. The minute she leaves McGreedy is quick to
say Octavio should detain her in a crazy house. Octavio who decided wear his
“Bleeding heart” coat today is appalled by Miguel brashness. He will care for
Simona till his dying day (yea..whatever, I’ve heard that before). Lets digress and discuss the various coats in
Octavio’s closet…. lets see we have jerk, insensitive, romantic (no worries
this coat is hidden with much dust over it). Then we have his most worn out
coat all, which is stupidity; actually I do not think he ever takes that
off.
Sorry back to the show…. Miguel does not like JA giving his
opinions on these matters. JA reminds them that if he goes down…they will too
(uh oh). Octavio decides to borrow someone’s “wise saying” coat and warns
Miguel…. this is why you shouldn’t involve yourself with delinquents.

Mentir Para Vivir #25 Fri 11/8/13 Bad Boy Berto Gets Bagged; Ricardo and Oriana Get Tagged
Cap. #25
At Paloma’s expansive manse Oriana, aka
2nes, is pacing the floors and driving Paloma (as well as Viewerville) crazy
worrying about Ricardo’s safety. If she’s
that worried, suggests Paloma with wizened certitude, she should never have
broken off their relationship. 2nes says
no, they should never have allowed one to develop in the first place!
Across town at their new B&B, Lucina
and Raquel are discussing their list of invitees to their upcoming open
house. Lucina mentions that Raqi needs
to be a bit more tolerant of Oriana since she’s going through a bad spell. The cause?
It seems that Jose Luis never really died and is now in Hermosillo! Raqi’s first thought is that he’ll bring the
Colombian authorities down on all their heads and Oriana and the two of them
will end up being cellmates. Perhaps the Colombian authorities figured to
follow him here so they could track down his wife, suggests Raqi. No, they’d have already pounced if that was
the case, reasons Lucina. He no doubt
escaped and is here to get his wife and daughter back! “—Poor Oriana! She’s walking an emotional tightrope about
now!” Cara de serves-the-wench-right de
Raqi.

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon for La Tempestad and PEAM denizens
I have basically ignored these two series for the most part because I'm not into comedies and because William Levy does nothing for me. However, since both of these are ending very shortly, the Karmageddons of their villains should be a hot topic that deserves its own discussion.

Mentir Para Vivir #24 Thu 11/7/13 Planificar para Atrapar
Paloma tells Ricardo that she can't talk to Inés about her past, she doesn't want to embarrass her. She figures Inés must be upset still because of the anonymous letter, but Ricardo disagrees. Lina shows up to chastise Ricardo for not taking her to the fair and buying her a hamburger and a ginormous milkshake. Ricardo says they can go right away, but she needs to get her mom's permission. Paloma begs off joining them. As Lina goes off to get permission, Paloma tells Ricardo she's also supposed to be throwing Lina a party, though she hasn't gotten started yet. Ricardo fills Paloma in on Maria's new medication and Sebastian's same crappy attitude.
Inés doesn't want to go to the fair and she doesn't want Lina to go either. Lina tries yelling, then she tries pouting, but Inés won't budge. Even pleading won't work.
Ricardo tells Paloma that he's wondering if Sebastian is really his son. He explains that when they were young Maria once ran away from the house and when he found her, she was flirting with some guy, so now he's wondering if maybe Maria was "promiscuous." Paloma doesn't believe it. She suggests asking Celio what he knows, since he's been with the family for so long. Inés shows up with her fake excuses why Lina can't go to the fair and raises Paloma's suspicions…Paloma assumes the blackmailer has been in contact and is now threatening Lina. This forces Inés to admit that, no, Lina hasn't been threatened, but the blackmailer has been in contact. Paloma wants to just pay them, but Ricardo argues that they'll never be able to stop once they start. Ricardo wants to look at Inés computer and Paloma tells her to have Lina come to her (Paloma's) room to play.

La Tempestad, Thursday November 7, 2013 —No Puede Ser
Miami, Florida
A Penthouse Apartment
To: Señor Televisa Ejecutivo
Senior Vice President
International Programming
Sales
Dear Señor Ejecutivo:
I am writing to inform you of
my progress in combining ‘La Tempestad’ with Disney’s ‘Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride’.
At the risk of sounding too self-congratulatory I must say that things are
going splendidly.
I am settling in to my ‘day
job’ at Univision in Miami and no one suspects that I am on a mission from
Corporate Televisa to undermine the mental health of the American TN viewing
audience. This editing position is a
piece of cake—really, I could just cut and chop at random and I think few would
notice.
However, Don Televisa, (I am
always your humble servant) I took your suggestion and used my time wisely
whilst recuperating in Los Angeles. I faithfully went to the tanning and
massage salon that you suggested and I took frequent field trips to Disneyland
with that unsophisticated dolt, Nareo.

CI capítulo 128, Thur. 11-7-13 -- The Good, the Bad, and the Crazy. (You Decide Who’s Who.)
Simona involves Maricruz in the main
drama of this episode. The Narvaez brothers share in this problem, while some
secondary characters stir and simmer their own drama in the background. The smaller matters will be summarized first,
then on to the juicy stuff.
Previously
Simona puts on a convincing
show for the doctors, answering their questions correctly and appearing quite
sane and logical. They leave.
Perico
discusses marriage at Solita (not with, exactly.) She understands once he
points to his ring finger. She happily mimes a wedding crown, veil, and long
train on a dress. He can’t afford a lavish wedding and somehow makes her
understand. She happily agrees to a simple ceremony.
Valdez
of the rodent face is visiting Vargas and saying the people must move from the
Rancho Narvaez settlement so gold extraction can begin.
Land Grabbing and Gossip
Valdez and Vargas discuss the
wild colony (Realengo) and the rancho colony (Narvaez). If Vargas would just
cooperate in moving everyone out, he could become the CEO of a utility company
in the city. If he doesn’t, who knows where he could end up? (So much for
Solita and MC hosting his wedding at the hacienda.)
Clorinda
stops by to visit Ester. The people are restless and miserable; they need to see
a solution to the land and housing problem. By the way, Amador is doing better
with his daughter Lina. He brings her treats and pays more attention to her. And
Simona is BSC. Clo needs to find Padre Julian and let him know there’s violence
brewing with the poor folk. That
evening, Padre Julian visits Ester and Clorinda returns. There are five sick
people at the riverside and the situation is dangerous.

PEAM #173- 11/7/13- The Garcia- Montemayor Family Can Never Have a Happy Family Function
Good evening to all, it’s me Luisita once again.
My brother’s dad is back in jail and some idiot named Darwin
is bothering him about that monster, Uri.
This idiot said that he knows that Rogelio has money hidden and he could use it for them.
I’m at work with my mami and my papi. They will be home about 9. Paty asks what time they are going to
be home. She is acting very
suspicious.
At mi abuela- Chatita’s house she is waiting for Cricket Face. My soon to be abuelo, Panfilo. He cleans up well.

The return of Lupita Narvaez CI #127 Wed Nov.7th, 2013
My DVR ate the episode, I tried to look online for it and only found bits of it, the following is what I was able to see, if I can find the episode online tonight I'll come back and re-do this :(
An open letter to Perrico:
Dear Perrico, I think I speak for all of viewerville when I say that you need to go pound sand! If you love Natrasha then go be with her and leave poor Solita alone. She needs someone who is kind and loyal and you are neither. Is there something in the water that makes you and everyone else in this godforsaken story believe that marriage is the solution to all your problems? Do I need to remind you that the last person who someone married out of pity now has a brain tumor? Do you want your own brain tumor? Thought not. Please Perrico if you don't love Solita leave her alone, or else we will all get out our pointy sticks and hunt you like a dog.
Kisses and Hugs,
Eli
