Corazon Indomable # 145 (plus replay of #144), Thursday, 11-28-13. Lazy Layabout Playboy Painter Amazes the Artistic World, Then Displays a Shocking Loss of Artistic Integrity
Here’s hoping all of you had a great holiday and wonderful Thanksgiving feast.
WTH, Univision? Another “two-hour” evening with another repeat of the previous night’s second hour, leaving us with only one fresh episode? And here we thought we were making progress. (I could be bitter about sacrificing my Thanksgiving evening, but the food is put away, the dishes are washed, and I’m ready to sit for a while.)
If You Didn’t Get Enough of the Club Scene
If one had only known, one could have made better plans for the repeat of Cap. 144—skipping either last night’s or tonight’s showing. I was weary enough from cooking to stay put and watch all over again.
There were the young lovers in their assorted triangles, hanging out at the club while watched over by cool and carefree Clementina. There was Alfonso, the man with the plan, persuading his fellow artists to fill up “his” exhibit with their talent. At least they get the satisfaction of seeing their work on display, even if he gets the credit. There were Celia and Tav, concerned that Mechita and MC would get bad reps from association with slimy Alfonso. And finally, we see many of our current characters eager to make an appearance at the exciting exhibit.
One of the Highlights of the Social Season
Although Tav appeared in person to complain to Alfonso’s mother and future mother-in-law, the selfish slimeball painter is determined to continue his pursuit of MC as both model and lover. Elsa, the very young former flame, calls to lodge another complaint with Alf. He claims he dropped her because she’s too young. That excuse doesn’t cut it with her, since he picked her up at school many times. She’ll see him at the exhibit! MC, hoping for a fresh start, tells Juanita they need to leave the hotel and find a house. (Finally feeling the need for privacy?)
Doris is driving to meet Tav, sure that she’ll marry him this time, unless he’s still involved with “that woman.” MC speaks to Juanita as she heads off for the exhibit, dressed in a conservative ice-blue lace sheath. Juanita says she is very elegant, but MC thinks Doris may bring out the savage in her.
MC is speaking to Alf in the crowded gallery when Tav and Doris arrive. Doris looks deceptively sweet in a pink chiffon and lace dress, with one bare shoulder and a flying panel on the other shoulder. She trills “Buenos noches” at Alf and MC, while a sullen Tav and hostile MC refuse to acknowledge each other. Alf tosses out “bienvenidos” as they stride by.
Clementina, husband (name?), Celia, and Mechita chat in a group. Doris and Tav scan the paintings, zeroing in on the head and shoulders portrait of MariCruz. Doris’ opinion: “She looks prettier than she really is.” Anibal, the hovering creator of the abstract “Freedom,” is thrilled to hear Tav praise his painting. Tasha and Alf’s buddy toast the success of the exhibit.
Tav overhears two men gossiping about MC—she’s actually the hired companion of the painter’s mother, and possibly worse. He takes offense and huffily informs them he personally knows that she’s a lady, not a tramp. Then he attempts to grab MC, saying if she doesn’t get rid of that painting, he will! He tells Alf he doesn’t want to hear MC' name in everyone’s mouth: after all, she is the mother of his daughter. Next, he tells Doris they’re leaving, despite her complaint that all this has nothing to do with them.
The Art World Is Amazed at Alfonso’s Talent
The morning after the big event, Alf’s parents read the morning papers with the critics’ positive take on the exhibit. “Freedom” is a masterpiece. Alf is also reading and learns his exhibit “surprised the artistic world.” Anibal, the somewhat scruffy “Freedom” artist, comes to see Alf with his thanks. MC is also reading the critics’ comments, but less happily. She doesn’t like contributing to a deception and thinks the other artists must be suffering from the imposture.
Anibal is thrilled to see his work appreciated, but Alfonso doesn’t want to give up the painting yet. He wants to show it elsewhere and maybe win a prize with it. He would give Anibal some money, since he knows Anibal needs it. Anibal is counting on the world knowing he’s the artist sometime in the future. He’s troubled with shaking hands, which is bad news for a painter.
Meanwhile at Casa de Society Central, Celia and her friends are praising the exhibit and asking about Mechita’s wedding. Now, many of them want Alfonso to paint their portraits. (Ha! A perfect career for him—a soulless society painter, forced to flatter ladies of a certain age instead of producing masterpieces or seducing young models.)
An art collector/museum representative calls on Alfonso. He thinks “Freedom” is a masterpiece and will pay mucho dinero for it--$100,000. Alf smirks a little, but doesn’t want to sell yet, since he hopes to exhibit it other places. Buyer thinks he must have been truly inspired to paint like that. Since he is leaving for Germany in a short time, he wants to take the painting with him. Selfish swine Alf continues thinking: Anibal is sick and won’t paint much longer the way his hand shakes. I could give him money and besides, my signature is on that painting. It’s too good an opportunity to pass up.
Other Members of the Public Have a Lower Opinion of Alfonso and His Talent
Tav wonders why he continues to believe MC is pure. Doris mocks him for defending MC, but he feels like killing those who attack her. He thinks of Alfonso’s insinuation that he should get rid of MC’ portrait if it causes such a problem.
MC is busy at Clem’s Casa de Pretensiones, going through her new stack of invitations. She’s hot property socially, now that her son is the buzzword of the art world. Clem brags on ladies lining up for portraits. MC is happy for her boss, but says Alf doesn’t take his painting seriously. They acknowledge other painters contributed to the exhibit’s success. A news bulletin announces a burglary at the art exhibit. The portrait of MariCruz was stolen!
In Tav’s room, we see him with the stolen portrait, loudly chastising the painted MC as maldita (damned). If his one brain cell isn’t working, his emotions are. He takes a knife from his bag and slashes the painting, hacking away until only tangled pieces remain. He rips the canvas free, tearing it into smaller shreds and demolishes the inner frame.
This catharsis is interrupted by a knock on the door. Doris enters, surveys the mess, and says Tav is the thief! Now he’s made MC famous as the muse caught between the artist and a jealous lover. Why did he do it? Because of those men saying MC was Alf’s amante (lover). She warns him she could make a real scandal if she calls the police!
An official is interviewing the gallery owner, who says it may be personal vengeance. He is welcome to investigate on his own. Probably he will, since it’s a juicy story.
MC goes into savage mode and confronts Alf in his studio, saying they have to talk. She arrives as Anibal also visits the studio. Concerned for security, he wants his painting. Alf reminds him to be careful about saying that, since it’s traveling under Alf’s signature. MC hears him offer $2,000 to Anibal and questions Alf once they’re alone. He says a buyer is offering $100,000 so he can easily pay Anibal the smaller amount.
MC is incensed and rips into him as she did to the Emir Karim, so long ago. She says other painters would be interested to know how he operates. He’s the worst kind of petty thief! He warns her that she and Tav have as much to lose as he, if the entire mess is made public.
Preview—Continuing fallout from the artistic scandal.

Lo que la Vida Me Robo #7, 11/27/13: Yo mom, let's send an innocent man to jail!
Sorry for the late recap, it's only 10:25 am on the West Coast and I'm just getting up from bed, because it's Thanksgiving and my 30th birthday, weeee let the fun begin!
The recap is all done :)
The Old Stuff: Montse and Jose get it on, man I hope the water in that river was warm!
Maria and her creepy uncle:
Maria, who I've decided I don't like is sitting around wearing a really iffy looking outfit, she is joined by her creeper of an uncle Juventino who is there to ask her for a favor, he needs her to get him the key to Domingas bedroom, Maria, instead of asking why he needs said key instead tells him that Dominga is "muy poca cosa"- or in English "not good enough" for him. Someone on the patio groans and another member throws something at the TV while shouting "have you met your uncle?!". Juventino pushes her just a little bit more and she caves,she'll get the key for him, and this is when my serious dislike of her begins. Also I can't stand her stupid side ponytail thing.

Corazon Indomable #144 I think?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Part 1:
The music tells us that Al drops a bomb at the dinner table in front of Mercedes, Mom and MC, the three m's, hahaha. A jealous exhusband came to his studio and threatened him if he paints his exwife. It doesn't seem to warrant that much suspense to me.
Doris drops a bomb to Octavio except the music isn't that intense because the water fountain in the background is making so much noise it's hard to hear them. She tells him that she told her daddy that they are back together and getting married. Octavio gives her a look that I can't identify. I think he's using his one brain cell to figure out what she just said.

Corazon Indomable Hour 1 -- From Muse to Matchmaker; Hour 2 - Not In The Nude, Dude!
[Completed 2 of 2]
Hour 1 of 2 --Capítulo 142
"From Muse to Matchmaker"
Maricruz returns to Clementina’s manse to report to Mama C that Alfonzo is an underachiever. This is the reason for his not wanting to have an exhibition. (Or, to paraphrase—the bigger the boast, the smaller the post…) M/C realizes this dawggy's got a bigger bark than bite and tells Mama, bottom line, she’s determined Fonzie requires a muse more than a mistress. She can manage musing no problem.
Octavio, knowing that he’s got Juanita on his side, figures he’ll be able to keep tabs on his family unit and will have time to eventually convince Maricruz that she completely misinterpreted Doris’s draping her drunk-as-a-skunky skanky self over him and planting a plastered lip-lock on him just as she walked into the room that night at the party. He’s determined to make her realize that appearances can be deceiving, especially where Doris and he are always concerned. (Good luck, Chump. Please tell us what makes the umpteenth and first time so different from the first umpteen.)

We start with a rehash of Friday’s conversation between Jose Luis and Oriana. She refuses to go back to him, so when Alina goes to say goodbye to her father, he asks her if she’d ever live with him without Oriana. Alina looks torn - this is a choice no kid should ever have to make.
Padre Reddish Plaid is visiting Paloma at the hospital. She’ll be let go the next day, but she’s not as happy as one would expect, because she wants to find out the truth about Ines.
Their talk goes something like this:
Paloma Cruise: “I want the truth!”
Padre Nicholson: “You can’t handle the truth!”
Padre worries that her heart might not be strong enough for this, but she insists that she has to know everything there is to know about Ines’ husband and she’s sure that he won’t lie to her, because he’s a priest.
Mariano isn’t very proud of his priesthood these days, but he does tell Paloma that Francisco Castro, the man who was interested to invest in Aresti Breton is none other than the mysterious husband. Cara de enferma impactada de Paloma (meaning she’s shocked, but her eyes are only moderately goggling upon hearing the big news).

Lauro observes all with his normally confused face or is it bored look? I can't tell. Anyway the police ask if they remember anything else to let them know.
Next they pay a visit to our resident stud, Alejandro. He tells them about the dearly departed’s bad dealings. Victor is glad that Ale didn't comment about Bruno stealing from him. The police could have interpreted it wrong. Ale saw no reason to mention it.
Gaspar asks Juventino where he's been. He lies and says he was looking into some prices on vitamins for the animals. Instead of scolding me, you should be trying to hook up Maria and Alejandro together. We could then be the owners of all this. Gaspar tells him that he is tired of hearing the same crap. And stop putting ideas into his daughters head. He has other ambitions.
Lauro is upset that DamDim owed Bruno money and wasn't even informed about it. Graciela was going to tell him but wanted to take care of it first. DamDim jokes that if he knew Bruno was going to end up dead, he wouldn't have bothered paying him. Lauro tells him to shut up. Now that DamDim will be returning to the marina, he will be getting some well earned discipline. Whether he wants it or not. He decides to go to bed. He asks if Graciela is coming. In just a moment.

Corazon Indomable #140 & 141, 11/25/13: Dopes, Doris and Drama

Part 1:
MC swears to Juanita that if she and Tav were to meet today,
unlike the first time they met and fell in love, things would be very
different. Uh huh. MC desperately wants to see and kiss Tav.
Tav offers up Alfie as a better playmate for Doris, but tells
her to be careful of his playboy ways. Doris assures him she can handle Alfie.
She isn’t deterred by Tav’s lack of enthusiasm for renewing a friendship with
her. Back in his hotel, Tav thinks to himself that he must tell Doris that he’s
reconciled with MC and is looking for her. (Any bets on when he actually gets around to doing this?) Miguelito, meanwhile, is out late
partying with friends, leaving his bed empty for the night.
Alfie asks his mommy about Doris and MC. He wants them both
and wants to learn more about them both. Being that they are beautiful women,
of course they are perfect targets for an “adventure.” He puts his fiancé Mercedes/Meche
down. She does not please his artist’s eye.
The next morning, Clementina asks MC to go on a trip with
her, once Alfie is married. Clementina is still hot to get MC hitched. MC says
she has no luck in the love department. Clem guesses correctly that MC has
suffered greatly for love.

Corazon Indomable - caps 138 & 139 Fri 11/22/13 She's Baaack!
Two hours we'll never get back... Two... Dos... This double episode could have taken thirty minutes and still have been wayyy too long. But some good things happened so I'll try not to be excessively bitter.
We get to see Miguel die again... almost as satisfying as the first time though we didn't get to see Nazario pull the trigger this time around. We get only minimal sepia flashbacks of the good times with Miguel... but let's face it, there weren't all that many.
We're also treated to Nazario's surrender. He did it his way, first finishing off his beer. He swills it down, slowly stands up, and thrusts out his wrists
"I don't regret what I did."
Yes, well wait until you get thirsty again, I'm betting... no beer for you for a very long time.
And last but not least... She's baaack! You heard right, Doris has returned and lest we forgot, reminds us that she is the governor's daughter.
But first we have a lot... and I do mean a lot... of dreary filler. So pour yourself a double of whatever, sit back, and endure.
Juanita assures Maricruz that she looks great in a cheap dress. Let's face it, Maricruz looks great in just about anything. She tells Juanita that she will get in touch with Octavio tomorrow to tell him where they are. She's anxious to see him. Lupita must be off the drugs because she seems much more animated and not so drowsy. Maybe she's joined a twelve step program.
Alfonso confirms his date for the opera with his mom. Both are very excited ... well, perhaps she's a bit more enthusiastic than he is. His new intended and her new companion lady will be going. She encourages him to dress nice.

At least we have a couple hunks and that gorgeous beach, and who knows maybe some shirtless beach scenes ; )

Monse (Monserrat) and JL (Jose Luis) are making out on the beach and Dimi sees all. He thinks so that's the poor fool Monse is hooking up with! JL sees that Monse is worried about the running away and getting married. She isn't doubting, just thinks it won't be easy, seeing as they have no moola. JL lets her know he will get some lana (money) but she has this piece of land her Tia left her, and someone is interested in it, she could sell. JL doesn't want her doing that. He'll take care of her and everything she needs cause, say it with me Y'all, Te Amo!
The Smart Sexy Man:
Ale (Alejandro) is with that dirty dealing Bruno and wants to know how he got ahold of these documents (the promissory note and the deed). Well, you see Bruno tells him, Dimmy Dim Dim (Dimitri or Triple D) has been borrowing huge amounts of money from him. Since Dimmy Dim Dim couldn't pay him back the Admiral signed a promissory note and the deed is collateral. Ale wants to know how it is that the Mendoza family, who rumor has it, doesn't have this kind of moola laying around, do tell! Bruno tells him although they have put up a good front, the family isn't as moneyed as it used to be. They are about to lose it all! Ale will take the promissory note and the deed and Bruno asks him if he'd like an envelope with that? Yeah, and by the by, think of the voice of The Donald, Bruno is fired! Bruno doesn't look surprised.

Mentir Para Vivir #34 Fri 11/22/13 From Hearts and Glowers To Mr. Might For Spite Makes Right With Raqi
{This may take a while to get up today as I've got holiday commitments sprouting up out of nowhere. I'll try to get it up by later this evening. You have the page to comment for now. --Jardinera654 }
~~Parte 1~~
Cap. #34
Lo del Pasado:
Viewerville, fighting to view the characters through the garish glare of Party Princess Pinks and Purples, has noted that Jose Luis, aka Francisco Castro, aka Fakecisco has just thrown a damper on the party by showing up and stealing all Ricardo’s step Papi glory by bringing the best present there could be for his little daughter: a brand new garishly pink and purple bicycle complete with pink training wheels and streamers. Ric and Oriana head directly over to tell Fakecisco to take his Daddy From the Dark Side presence and the training bike with him. Guard-dog de Guerrero de Eliseo makes to pull his gun out of the back of his belt at the insult, but is stopped with a single hand gesture from JL. Padre Mariano of the windowpane plaid padre-collared shirts comes over to second the request.
Lo del Nuevo:
As Viewerville successfully fights the urge to do a color check of its tv screens, Mariano follows JL out to the street and lets him know that he knows who Fakecisco really is and hopes the man won’t sacrifice his wife’s and little girl’s futures just to get his own way. “—Don’t be so naive, Padre!!” “—And you? Don’t be so sure, Son!” JL fights the urge to argue any further and forces himself to walk away.

Corazon Indomable #137: Simona Sports A New Attitude and Miguel Is A Dead Man Walking
Capítulo 137
Alfonso (what is with all these characters being named with Al derivatives?), aka Fonzie, asks Maricruz to tell him about her life. He asks if she’s married. MC confesses that she was once, but that fate was the cause of her separation from her man. Fonzie says he doesn’t believe in fate. MC doesn’t really want to go there and he decides to leave sleeping dogs lie. He’s got an appointment with his fiancée, anyway. Yes, he admits, despite the times they are a changin’ when it comes to families choosing marital mates for their children, his wealthy parents apparently are slow adapters. The pretty little rich girl they picked out for him, he complains, is the DF poster child for Valley Girls R Us, and he’s not looking forward to getting hitched.

Mentir Para Vivir #33 Wed 11/20/13 Not in front of the children!
Lo Refrito
Oriana blindly defends her lying, cheating, criminal, husband to
Mariano and
Ricky. They discuss their options -- Ricky can marry Oriana,
but that could make JL angry and accuse Oriana of bigamy, exposing them both
and therefore sending them both to jail. And what about Alina? What
to do, what to do. Ricky promises to stand by her no matter what.
Ugh, we had to see a repeat of Fabi's walk of shame. Poor
little lamb. I hate Seba.
Piero reports that the signature on Oriana's wedding certificate
and the bank docs are one and the same. Ricky asks Piero to verify if JL
had signing authority on that account. He even says he's willing to sell all
his shares to JL so that he'll leave Ori alone. Peori warns him against
making such a drastic move. He'd end up giving up his inheritance and
leaving Paloma in the hands of that desgraciado.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 3-11/20/13: More Avoidance Issues for Jose Luis, More Jewelry For Juventino, More Scheming for Graciela, and a Few Yearning Looks for Monserrat From Alejandro
RECAP BY JULIA R.
Hola! I'm Julia R and will be recapping every other Wed--sharing duties with Eli. I have something very important to confess before we begin: although I've been reading and loving Caray Caray! for a while, I'm actually a little embarrassed to admit that I'm a recapping virgin! Hope you won't mind the pun, but, yes, this is my first time ever, folks. Given the expertise on my excellent recapping team, I've got a lot to live up to, but I promise to do my best--some scenes have been combined because there was so much and to keep the flow going. I hope I didn't miss anything. Let's get started!
The old and a little new: Hacienda Mendoza. A nervous but excited Monserrat in a fetching little midriff-baring number that should be the envy of step squads across America runs to the door of her casa to let in her secret novio, José-Luis, whom she is hoping on this day will finally work up the nerve to talk to her father about their relationship. She has already told her father that Cabo Álvarez wants to speak to him and J-L was supposed to be waiting outside while she prepared Papa for the chit chat. However, poor Monserrat opens the door to find not J-L at all but actually Bachelor # 2--Guzmancito! (Sorry, I meant Alejandro Almonte, but I couldn't resist one shout out to my beloved Amores Verdaderos; I miss El Capitan Fabre and the LT crew, too, but am also very happy to see Sebastián Rulli back at the 9 PM time slot!)
