Mentir Para Vivir #32 Tue 11/19/13 Cynderella's Interpretation

Please forgive me!  I do not have cable.  Last night I was watching Me Vida Me Robo (Or whatever) and in the last ten minutes, the show was interrupted by a soccer game.  I waited to see if it was a mistake, but Mentir didn't come on and I fell asleep.  So, I don't know if it aired or not.  Anyways, I depend on the ccs to do recaps.  I didn't get to see the aired episode or have the recaps.  I watched it on line, and the following will be my interpretation of what happened.  It's made up!  If I would have written the episode, this is what would have happened based on what I saw and the things that I could understand. 

My version will be up shortly!  In the meanwhile...talk amongst yourselves and share what you know.  See my version below.  See Vivi's version in the comments for the TRUTH!   [I've included both parts following Cynderella's summary.  Thanks to both of you since the rescheduling really screwed all of us up!  I almost missed both telenovela episodios myself last night. --Jardinera654]

Lo que la vida me robó, Capítulo 2, Tuesday, November 19, 2013: ♫ Love and marriage ♫ ... don't necessarily go together

The grief counselors have come and gone.  Now only time will complete the healing of the broken hearts of the folks on The Patio.  No more evenings with DamFab. No more crazy guys in pants of many colors.  No more Sabritas machine humming reassuringly in the background.   

["This is getting serious," whispers EJ.  "It may be time for some tough love."]

Mads rallies The Patio: "Snap out of it, y'all," she tells them. "That ship has sailed."  

[There's some uncomfortable shuffling of feet, a bit of grumbling here and there.  But at last they put down their nerfazos and settle down to watch.]

Let's see what is going on tonight in Aguazul, a lovely pueblo by the sea--  

Kitchen Chatter at Hacienda Almonte
María pouts because she chased down Alejandro to console him and he sent her away.   She is so worried. Everything is changing -- and she's afraid of losing Alejandro.  (Oh honey, we won't even go there.) 

All cats are gray in the dark
"I thought you were someone else," explains Montserrat with a smile.  
[She had hugged Alejandro, mistaking him for José Luis.  Hmm.  Is mis-hugged a word?]

PEAM, Tuesday 11/19/13 (#181): El Gran Final, pt 1 - Falling and Rising

Hold onto your hats for a finale so funny, you won't know when to START laughing, much less when to stop!

Chucho tells Demonica: you've alienated everyone who cared about you because you destroyed everyone in your path. Do the right thing for once and let me save Valentina. I'll even let you escape. You've been a good mother. I know you love Valentina. Let's save her together. OUR child. Don't you have any compassion?

"And who has compassion for ME?" Vero retorts. She holds the gun to her own head and fires, but it's too late - he's already knocking the gun out of her hand. How gallant.

Satan calls. "The kid tried to escape! She won't drink her water!" Vero beneficently tells Satan to put Vale on the phone to talk to Chucho. Vale stomps on one of Satan's giant feet with both of her tiny feet. While Chucho tells Vale to pray, Vero nails him in the shoulder with a big syringe. She tells Satan to get the kid under control. "You know what to do." She taunts Chucho while he slowly loses consciousness.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #135, Monday, November 18, 2013 Rescue, Food & Shelter – Octavio’s Recipe for Winning Back Maricruz……No Apologies Needed……WTH??!!!”



Written by LatinaInMD                                                                     

Rehash of JackAss and Simona meeting; Simona informs him that she is giving a hectare of land to HIS WIFE; in other words, not to you, Jackass.  (This is followed by a useless scene of Octavio and Migreedy – NEXT.)

As luggage is loaded into a car, a surprisingly lucid Simona bids farewell to her home and junior.  Simona makes Octavio promise never to separate from his son and to take him with him wherever he goes (as if Oblivio’s promises are worth anything).  Fortunately, Simona has the good sense to extract the same promise from Ofelia – if nothing else, Ofelia is loyal and more trustworthy than Oblivio.

JackAss visits Maricruz and informs her that Simona and Octavio are preparing to leave; Maricruz says she sincerely hopes Simona returns cured from her illness.  JackAss asks if Maricruz will see Octavio again if Simona returns cured.  Maricruz assures him that no matter what happens, she “will never see him again.”  (Mark those words, Viewerville.)  As much as we detest JackAss, we must agree when he tells her that he doesn’t believe her.

Now Simona assures Miguel that she holds him in high esteem too and asks that he too watch over her son.  (Excuse me while I laugh – the man can’t even take care of his own, nearly forgotten son, woman.)

An angry group of Realengueros stands in the way of a bulldozer preparing to raze all the little toy houses on which Maricruz blew her humongous (yeah, right) fortune.  JackAss just happens to be there, and they all want him to explain to them why “that woman” lied to them and “sold herself to those people for money”.  JackAss washes his hands of the problem, reminding them he doesn’t work there anymore.  Now the priest comes running to try to reason with the angry mob.

Maricruz starts bringing her belongings out to the ranch house’s veranda in little cardboard boxes tied with twine.  (Boxes and twine?!  Holy cow – now we know she is dead broke.)  JackAss comes running up to her and warns her that she is in grave danger.  She is incredulous and informs him (and Viewerville, of course) that she just barely received her compensation for the taken land, but it’s so little it will barely pay for her existing debts.  He warns her that the Realengo people think she betrayed them.

Mentir Para Vivir #31 Mon 11/18/13 Take a chill pill, dude!

I'm looking at you, Ricardo Sanchez Breton


After a long struggle with my laptop this weekend, I managed to make it work enough time to get a recap ready. I only watched the episode once, but managed to take some notes; if I skipped/ forgot something, please help me out in the comments.

Channeling her best Rhoda Penmark impression EVER, Alina is staring somewhere outside the screen – she’s looking at her father, Jose Luis, who’s come to see her at school. She runs into his arms, screaming with joy, while Jorge, the driver, seems glued to the sidewalk.
Father and daughter have a happy reunion, filled with kisses and hugs. Alina wants her daddy to join her at abuela’s house, but he can’t come with her just yet – he did bring her back the teddy bear she’d left behind, in Colombia, though. With Jorge watching over (but, really, what can he do?) JL gets invited to Alina’s party on Saturday and tells his daughter that her mom already knows he’s in town. Then he takes her in his arms and wants to take her back to Jorge’s car – after a brief staring match, he reluctantly allows the driver to hold Alina, and leaves.
We can see how shaken up he is by the encounter, he has tears in his eyes; but then his face turns rigid and determined – dark thoughts are circling in his brain.

Paloma and Orines are at Aresti Breton. Orines is telling the older lady that her husband showed up (and yes, they were married, but Orines refuses to explain why Lina doesn’t have his last name).  Paloma tells the story of how she hated her husband for what he had done, but she never considered leaving him because they lived different times. So, what does Ines plan to do, does she still love him?
Orines doesn’t want to think about it just now, the whole situation is too much to handle.
As they chat, they leave the office in order to go shopping for Alina’s party, and they resume their talk on a park bench. But Paloma’s phone keeps ringing; it’s Ricardo who found out the ladies left alone and is in full stalker mode (insert recap's title here)

PEAM #180 - El Ultimo Lunes, 11/18/13, We Need All the Angels and Guides We Can Get…

For the last Monday, I give you photos from Oaxaca: The Day of the Dead Parade by Students and my favorite Saturday Market with the Puppy Xolo, Bobo and also my own Willa.


Los Angeles Siempre Ayuden uno al otro


Los Escuincles (Xoloitzcuintle) Xolos were considered sacred dogs by the Aztecs (and also Toltecs, Maya and some other groups) because they believed the dogs were needed by their masters’ souls to help them safely through the underworld. They were also useful companion animals. According to Aztec mythology, the god Xolotl made the Xoloitzcuintli from a sliver of the Bone of Life from which all mankind was made. Xolotl gave this gift to Man with the instruction to guard it with his life and in exchange it would guide Man through the dangers of Mictlan, the world of Death, toward the Evening Star in the Heavens.   Wouldn't you like to have 5 month old Bobo here show you across the great water when you pass to the next world.  -text from Wikipedia


And last but never least, one more recent shot of my personal angel and guide, Willa! These images help me to look to the passing on of this telenovela and on across the great water to the other side where there is light and art and …..


This is my farewell recap many thanks to all the faithful for hanging in…. Hasta la proxima...

Jesús and Delia worry about the disappearance of Valentina and what hideous outcome is Veronica really capable of.

At Avon Alma and Pati discuss the conjugal visit and the upcoming wedding. Last, today is the day that Jesús they are going to arrest Veronica.

Veronica and Valentina in a park look at clouds, Valentina sees an Angel like her amiga Alma.  Veronica is not pleased.

Jesús talks to cops and his Alma worrying about the disappearance of Valentina.

They cannot find Veronica's car yet and Delia tells him not to worry. She consults with the abogada of Jesús and shows him his love's bracelet, which he knows well at first glance, it is indeed Cynthia's.

The monster Veronica stuffs candies into Valentina with a certain manic force.  Poor little Valentina tries to placate her Mamacita as always.

Jesús talks again with Delia who is so sure that a MOTHER won't hurt her daughter. But Jesús recites all the murder and mayhem committed by Veronica and asks her if she really thinks the demonic Veronica is such a good mother that she won't hurt her own daughter when she already sold her baby son, has killed a couple of innocent bystanders and so on and so why not...

Corazon Indomable Episode 134: Season of Despair, Desparation and Estupideces

A Tribute to Rent (aka procrastination at its best)

One thousand six hundred and eight minutes
One thousand six hundred and eight minutes so dear (umm maybe)
One thousand six hundred and eight minutes
That’s how much time, we have with this TN

We may be, rejoicing
We may be, in mourning
Tequila or tissues? Applauses or tears?
One thousand six hundred and eight minutes
How will you remember, this (adlib) TN

And So We Begin
Dejected MC greets Octavio in a “hurry up dude, I have got better things to do like sit and look somber all day instead of taking action” kind of day. Octavio gets to the point and states that Simona is going to Mexico to operate and want to speak with MC prior to leaving. I am not sure whether MC is shocked that Simona wants to speak with her or that she is going to MC to operate which means she will not die like everyone clearly wants. Now that that’s over with while they are standing two worlds apart, Octavio wants to know how MC is doing. She tells him not to worry about that she is fine. She said her goodbye’s to Alvaro because she will never marry again. She will live alone with Lupita, never allow herself to love anyone again and get herself out of this situation (flash of Old Mari..yay!!). Tav feels obligated to lessen the distance between them but Mari is just defeated today. She tells him they will never be together and with Simona getting that operation they will always be apart (I believe this is what she was insinuating…correct me if I am wrong).

Mentir Para Vivir #30 Fri 11/15/13 Pandora's Box: Dealing With The Aftermath

The really big news is that Tito finally got his break playing a near victim last night and made Lassie's heart go pitty-pat.  

~~Partes 1, 2 & 3

Cap 30

Lo del Pasado:

Jose Luis, aka Francisco Castro, now is death-grip impactado to hear from Berto (FYI the skin-headed, disgusting, redneckish, rich ex-boyfriend of Lucia in LFDD) who’s just told a whopper about defunct BIL, Gabriel, having been caught molesting six year old Alina when he saw Oriana/Ines take the gun and blow Gabe away at poolside.  “—Are you telling me that he molested my daughter?”  Ruh-roh!!

Lo del Nuevo:

Berto now accuses JL/Fakecisco of being Oriana’s husband and then JL appropriately throws Berto’s greasy, lying, stinking backside onto the bed.  “—How do you know?  Did you see it or what? “  Yeah!  I saw it all!  I saw the old man molest her and Oriana blow him away!  Pow!”  “--You’re a liar and I’m going to corroborate everything you’ve told me!  The Sra. didn’t own a gun; and anyway, that gun was probably Lucina or Raquel’s! Besides it was you who killed the old man! “  “—No, I told you it wasn’t me!”  JL either thinks pretty well on his feet, all things considered—or he had this story all lined up, which is probably more likely—and  explains, the fairytale familial relationships.  “--Yes, the little girl is mine but the Sra. Ines--or Oriana, since that’s what you’re calling her— she and I never got married!  And she never ever [jamas] married another man, especially not this smuggler like you say!!”

La Tempestad, Capítulo 80, Friday, November 15, 2013: El Gran Final: Time Wounds All Heels*

*Groucho Marx 

An Evening of Suicide, Madness, Murder, Redemption and Romance 

The Acme Anvil truck pulls away from a high-rise construction site on the outskirts of Our Lady of the Sea.  It has been a busy few days for Acme, and the demand for its foolproof product is still brisk.

Esthercita, fueled by a potent cocktail of booze, pills, self-pity and resentment, teeters near the edge of the concrete slab and glances at the abyss below.  Marina has already wrested baby Michel away from her.  Esthercita has one final bit of venom to spew:  Little Michel is the son of Ernesto Contreras!

Before anyone can stop her, Esthercita steps off, falls dizzyingly through space and ends up broken and bloody on the ground.

The Acme truck speeds off.  Next!

Hernán emerges from the bathroom of the psychiatric prison wearing the orderly's uniform and badge.   The orderly himself is left in the bathroom, badly beaten, maybe dead.

BOING

Hernán strolls right past the security guard at the employee exit, waving casually at the man but never looking back at him, while he fantasizes about Damián's demise.

La Tempestad, Thursday November 14, 2013 — The Penultimate Storm

-->
Pregnant Much?? Not Really.

Damian ‘outs’ Estercita’s fake-pregnancy ruse by pulling the pregnant foam belly out from under her dress in front of the whole town. He then throws it into the crowd, a bit like it was, say, a garter from a wedding. I guess if you catch the fake belly you will be the next one in Our Lady of the Sea to show up semi-pregnant.

Damian and Marina kiss and make up. They have overcome all the obstacles to their love.  (Maybe not. This is only the penultimate episode, not the final.) The whole town claps and there are fireworks.

Claudio Loves Mercedes

In the hospital, at Mercedes’ bedside, Claudio tells Mercedes that he is in love with her and asks for a chance at a relationship. She wants to have a little time with her daughters but she will give him a chance to walk with them. They confess mutual love.

Magdalena and Valentin come hand-in-hand to Mercedes Sr.’s bedside. Mercedes gives her blessing to the relationship.

Bea Is Dying

Beatriz is dying. Father Tomas comes and takes her confession. He tells her that she has completed her mission in life by raising Marina to be the strong, courageous, noble woman she is today. After Fr Tomas confesses and blesses her, he tells Becky and Jose that Bea is preparing for God’s final call. Becky visits her beloved sister. Beatriz mentally tells Rebecca not to worry. She summons the doctor who tells her that Beatriz has little time to live. Jose is standing by during this exchange, simply bursting out of his royal blue shirt. Jose had better stop hitting the weights so hard or he is going to need an entirely new wardrobe.

In a close up we note that Beatriz’ makeup makes the actress look pretty rough—her eyebrows are completely unadorned!—so we are not surprised when Beatriz prepares to pass.

Mentir Para Vivir #29 Thu 11/14/13 Llegar para Sorprender

As everyone files into the boardroom, Ricardo asks Inés if that's Jose Luis or not.  She lies, remembering the threats he made.

Francisco (JL) dangles the possibility of expansion in front of the board.  He also brings up the idea of offering lower quality fabrics at a lower price, making up for it by moving a greater quantity.  Ricardo seems not to object, although he was the one who brought up the company's reputation being based on the quality of their fabrics.  What he does object to, after Inés asks what role the Caribbean Investment With Potentially Funny Money Firm will play, is that in order to carry out this huge expansion, they would have to depend on the CIWPFMF's cash, since Aresti Breton doesn't have that kind of liquidity.  That would make CIWPFMF the majority shareholder in Aresti Breton.  I vote no.  Oh, wait, crap, I'm not on the board.  Paloma comes to visit.  I'm digging the hat, babe!

Eliseo schleps Francisco's luggage over to Casa Bonita where he runs into Felipe…oops!  Eliseo talks fast and claims he got fired from being caretaker at El Descanso, so he got a job as a cab driver, and he met Francisco Castro and got a job being his "achichincle" (henchdude).  He whines about his hurt shoulder so Felipe will carry the bag and then makes a cara de "me fregué!" (I'm screwed!) while Felipe's back is turned.

CI capítulo 133 – 11-14-13 – Some People Are Packing Up and Leaving Town



            Scenes are grouped under topic and may be described out of order. I always thought Solita was undeservedly ignored, so I felt compelled to write an account from her point of view. It’s at the end of the recap and not part of the action, so feel free to ignore it.   
        
Previously, more or less
            Tav thinks about Maricruz and decides it’s alright if she marries for love, but not from need.
            Padre Julian and Nilda talk. Solita lived a life of disability, but it was due to Nilda’s ignorance and her errors.
            Alvaro hears Perrico say he’ll be best man at the wedding, but really came to warn the birdbrain that drastic action is needed to keep Solita with him. He needs to grab her and run away.
            Herminio meets Octavio outdoors, carrying baby Octavito. Simona gave the baby to a couple living in a shack. Tav cuddles the baby and takes him home.

Life in the Mad House
            Ofelia is ecstatic to see Tav returning with his son and heir. He instructs Ofe on the new safety standards: the baby will sleep in her room and she is to watch him carefully.

            Defense against crazy Simona becomes a moot point when Ofelia finds her on the floor of her room, completely unresponsive. She runs screaming for Migreedy, afraid Simona is dead. Tav is gone, but the situation won’t wait. Migreedy will call an ambulance to get her to the hospital.  Tav arrives home as the ambulance crew is loading Simona. He gets the story of her collapse from Miguel and says he’s going to the hospital. 

            The doctor says Simona is in deep shock and is a difficult case.

MC tells Solita that Nilda is her mother. Solita doesn't seem to understand, MC then repeats it to Perico as if he wasn't standing right there when she said it and acts like he just heard it for the first time too.

La Tempestad Capitulo 78 , Wed 11/13/13 - What’s good for Fulgencio is always bad for someone else.

 


Ahoy amigos y amigas, thank you for hanging in there with us amid all the crazy cuts and random editing. All the scenes that were edited out of tonight's episode are in BLUE. The scenes are mostly in order. Thank you for your patience.
 
 
The Phonymoon - Last night we left Marina in a very uncomfortable situation. To wit, Hernan is ready to “claim” his wife. He has forced her to the bed and she yells over and over for him to let her go. “Suelteme!!”


Hernan,  in a convenient moment of self-awareness, realizes what he’s doing and sobs his apologies. Marina tells him he’s the worst of men, grabs her shirt and baby, and leaves him weeping in a pathetic heap on the floor. Whew! That was close.
