Fri. 12/20/13 Corazón Indomable ♡ All About Elsa ♡
Well, all good things must come to an end... fortunately, so must all dreadful things as well. I present you with a recounting of of the penultimate episode of Corazón Indomable. For a brief time there it looked as though my luck had run out and I would be struggling with the final 2 hr. episode, but thanks to an emergency unexpected telethon on Univision last Friday, that episode was postponed until Sunday and fortunately for us, Vivi and CeCe will be doing the honors. The first paragraph of this recap covers a short period of time that preceded tonight's episode that was presented on Univision. It was the beginning of capitulo 160 which I discovered on line and I already had the paragraph written and hate to waste effort so I left it in. I hope you don't mind a bit of repetition.
Maricruz is sitting at the foot of Elsa's bed chatting with Elsa. Elsa, still not aware that Alfonso is dead is trying to recruit Maricruz's assistance in returning the deceased one to her. She's clearly in the wrong telenovela. She needs to be over at Mentir Para Vivir where resurrection of the dead is a rather common occurrence. Perhaps Maricruz could put in a call to Padre Plaid. Because Maricruz is a practicing idiot, she agrees to help Elsa find Alfonso. Should be easy enough but not with quite the result that Elsa is hoping for.
Here is where tonight's TV presentation actually begins.
Liz arrives at Alvaro's place in her little red car and parks it at the curb. Skankery must pay fairly well as it's a rather nice car, and her too tight, too short, maroon dress and spike heels all look to be expensive... if a bit slutty. She rings the bell at the gate and thought bubbles about a moment of vengeance against two people, especially Alvaro. She is soon admitted by a housekeeper and led to the big house. Looks like her other target is Maricruz since she seems to be glad that Maricruz is there. She tells her that she is here to visit Elsa. Maricruz says sure and lets her pass.
Wearing a tee shirt and children's pajama bottoms with little teddy bears imprinted on them (at first I thought it was Hello Kitty PJs), Elsa seems happy to have a visitor. She's busy brushing her hair and admiring her image in the mirror as Liz walks in.
"¡Hola Liz!"

Lo que la vida me robo, #23, 12/20/13: A tale of two deluded men
Lo que la vida me robo, Cap 23, 12-20-13—A tale of two deluded men
SCENES MAY BE CONDENSED TO PRESERVE MY SANITY:
We start with J-L and Ale in the stables. Ale invites his new capataz to lunch. J-L is all okay! J-L wants Juventino to take care of the horses—Juvie-dude thinks that Refugio, being J-L's "boy," can do it. J-L says, "I asked you." Sullen smirks all around. Juvie-dude sweeps dirt on Refugio's shoes.
Then we go to the middle of Padre's and Montse's conversation about J-L being the capataz. No, he won't leave! She won't go with him, but the deluded dude won't take the hint!
Rosario is fixing food for the dinner, and when Maria finds out that it's following the instructions of Monste, and they're to have pork, Maria is as nasty as possible, says that this is HER kitchen, that Montse is not the boss of anything (only Ale is the boss), scatters the food that Rosario was preparing on the ground, and yells at her to get out. What a bruja!

| Exhibit A: Our first deluded man. She isn't going to run away with you! Get over it and go away, dude! |

Mentir Para Vivir #53 Fri 12/20/13 Tito’s Grand Return Comes At A High Price
[MENTIR BEGINS AT 7 PM EASTERN TONIGHT! --ED.]
capítulo 53
Lo Del Pasado:
Homero, Leo and Ricardo have just been shot at and Grandpa Spooks lets Ric know that he’s well aware of quite a bit of what’s been going on with him and the Aresti family. It’s just a matter of fitting all the pieces correctly to put that puzzle together. Being shot at is not something Homero would consider a normal sort of familial problem, he has insisted. Therefore, since he knew Gabe, he’s told Ric if Ric needs his assistance he’s there to help out. Ric isn’t sure that he can trust the man. Viewerville isn’t either cuz El Grandpa Spooks de Homero has just put in a call to Manolo.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Manolo informs Spooks where he can find the old owners of El Descanso at the time of Gabe’s murder, namely, Lucina.
Leo tries to assure Ric on his way out of Spook Manor that his gramps is really a fair guy and that he can be counted on. Ric still refuses to let Leo come to the beach house with Tito, preferring to keep things on the Q.T. as much as possible since others are following him and obviously mean to kill him. Leo asks who, but Ric keeps mum and leaves.

Por siempre mi amor #14 12/20/13: I'm On A Boat (Ft Sonia the Pain)
"¡Caigamos en la oración!" count: 6
Lo Refrito
Read more »
Lo Refrito
- Andrea frets and prays for the safety of her children.
- Dante frets calls Gonzo looking for the combination to the safe.
- Isa frets and cries about "the kiss." Gaby pep talks.
- Fernando frets and curses Isa.
- Arturo frets and talks to Eugenia
Lo Nuevo
En la vecindad de Andrea
Andrea walks Esteban to the bus stop and warns him about talking to strangers. She instructs him to not leave school until Agata arrives. Her spaz fit does not go unnoticed by the ever astute Esteban.
El Reclusorio
F-no praises Gonzo for his work threatening Andrea and tells him to keep it up. Gonzo whines that following her around is costing him money. He tells F-no that Dante has found the safe and needs the combination. F-no wonders how he found it, so Gonzo mentions Gema. F-no smiles like a sleaze and notes that Gema is más facil que la tabla de cero (a cinch--with all credit to Kathy. ) Gonzalo agrees with that assessment. F-no goes on to say Gema is más bueno que el pan (which according to WordReference means she's kindness itself or the salt of the earth. Somehow I don't think F-no means it that way.) F-no is not going to give Gonza the combination and wants to know where Isa could be. Gonzo assumes she's on vacation. F-no figures she's already changed the combination so there's not point in giving Gonzo and Dante the combination. Gonzo figures Dante will just take advantage of his "stay" at Isa's. How do you like them apples, F-no?

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 22 - 11/19/2013 - Reveals, Obsessions, Arguments and Confessions
High Stakes Game At
the Dinner Table
Outside the dining room the woman looks up at the man, smug,
self-satisfied. She is somewhat older than the handsome man to whom she speaks,
but she tosses her head and beam at him with a look that is a parody of the
coquette she may once have been. She is more practiced than he at the social
dance that conceals fear and hatred.
He, Alejandro Almonte, is less urbane, less polished than the
woman. Still—he understands she is playing a game; a game she intends to win.
She is his mother-in-law, Graciela, but there is no love lost between these
two. That much is clear.
Graciela –“ If you tell anyone my secret you will be
responsible for killing the Admiral. Consider well, you have more to lose than
I do.”
Alejandro – “What game are you playing at? I am not going to
kill your husband.”
Graciela – “If you tell my husband this news, he will have a
heart attack. It will be your fault. Your fault. She punctuates each word with
her index finger. “You will be responsible for his death
and my daughter Montserrat will hate you even more than she does now.”
The son-in-law, Alejandro, seems almost incredulous at the
woman’s audacity. His face is still as she takes his arm and cozily leads him
into the dining room. They sit down with
the waiting others: the stunning young bride Montserrat, her Aunt Carlota and
Graciela’s husband, Admiral Lauro Mendoza.
The dinner conversation wanders down familiar paths; the
delicious meal prepared by Tia Carlota, and the Admiral’s fond hope that the
newlyweds will soon give him a grandchild. Alejandro covers his wife’s hand
with his own as he assures the family that there is nothing he would like more
than to make a family with his wife, Montserrat.
But now the conversation takes a different turn, set up by
an innocent question from the kindly Aunt. Why, she asks, did Alejandro’s
father never marry?

Corazon Indomable, # 159, Thur. 12-19-13. Move Along Folks, Nothing to See Here, Just a Minor Scrape or Two.
Gentle Readers, I take pen keyboard in hand to bid you farewell. This ends the only May-December romance in my life. I fell in love with the concept and cast of CI last May and offered to recap when CarayCaray was in dire need of CI staff. I trembled on the brink of my first attempt at this noble art. I continued to tremble as each Thursday rolled around and my family learned to leave me, the TV, and the computer strictly alone. I fear disenchantment set in once MariCruz achieved her venganza and CI hit the skids. Now we’re in December, at the end of a relationship gone sour. I loved MC and her journey; I only regret the writing/producing team had their own little venganza with us viewers. MariCruz was a bright and courageous spirit who deserved better from her creators. I gave her what I could.
Just a note to Gringo, flag bearer for the CI defenders. To me, a recapper’s duty is to provide a summary of the episode plus any extra entertainment that occurs to a creative mind. This added “wit” may not suit everyone, since tastes vary. I remember other TNs that fell apart and were sideswiped or even trashed in the commentary. One example was Corazon Salvaje 2009, which was “savagely” criticized in comparison to the 1993 version. I hadn’t seen the earlier version, so I happily followed the newer one when it moved to a midnight time slot. In contrast, I dropped out of regularly watching other TNs, such as La Fuerza del Destino, Abismo de Pasion, and even Que Bonito Amor. I’m very grateful to all CarayCaray recappers and commenters for sharing an array of opinions.
This episode follows MariCruz and Octavio on their separate journeys: Tav with Doris, MC with Alvaro’s family. Many short scenes have been combined so the channel isn’t constantly flipping back and forth.
How Were We to Know?
When life on the ranchos took a strange turn, Alvaro appeared as a suitor for MC and Natasha appeared as a general romantic interest and troublemaker. We thought they were a passing fancy, but little did we know they would be with us to the end. Alvaro’s teenage daughter and MC end up damaged by the same egotistical artist, while Natasha plays a role in freeing MC from the “peace” of her prison cell. I don’t know why this was necessary, unless we’re unwitting dupes helping to promote Goyri’s new banda release. Or, maybe he just wants to be a nice guy for a change.

Mentir Para Vivir #52 Thu 12/19/13 Disparar Para Asustar
Padre Plaid puts on his serious priestwear and gets chewed out by the Bishop for beating the snot out of Sebastian. But, Your Grace, Padre Plaid has witnesses! Sebastian totally had it coming! The Bishop brings up Padre Plaid's previous lusting after Oriana and says he needs to spend some time wrestling with his conscience. He's also been suspended from saying Mass or administering any sacraments. He wants Padre Plaid to think about what kind of life he wants to live.
Raquel joins Ruben in the dining room. Ruben tells Raquel he's got problems…and Matilde is one. Raquel asks if he likes Lucina and tells him it shows. He knows nothing can ever happen between them. He's a married man, and even though he doesn't have feelings for Matilde as a woman, they do have a history. He tells Raquel about throwing Fidelia over for Matilde. He recalls hanging out at Fidelia's house in Bahia de Kino. Lupe brings the drinks in. Ruben says he'd like to go back to BdK to recall those old times. He admits he's "fond" of Fidelia still and they toast to that.
Matilde begs Cesar to tell her where Fabiola is, but he doesn't think he can trust her not to force Fabi to marry Sebastian. Matilde says there's no way she could do that, since Fabi is nearly 18. She begs Cesar to find out, since he claims he doesn't know. She wants him to convince Padre Plaid to tell him. She turns on the waterworks and says Fabi needs her mother at a time like this and she's going to support her no matter what. I have this bridge for sale….

Corazon Indomable Wed 12/18/2013 Doris gets punched, and I am finally free!
This is my last recap but before I go off into the sunset I wanted to take a second to thank you all for the kind words and the encouragement you have provided these last few months. I started to recap because I was going through a bad time in my life, my mom had passed away and my boyfriend had dumped me, one of the things that made me happy was reading the recaps here (and the snarky comments!), when the opportunity to recap came up I jumped on it because I needed something to look forward to and I also thought that maybe it was the first step back into doing things I enjoyed. I was right. All of you here have given me things to smile/laugh about in a time when I really needed it and for that I will always be in your debt. You are the best behaved group of people in the whole internet, you are all smart, witty and down right hilarious and it has been a pleasure getting to know all of you :) (shout out to Emeraldrose, my one and only interwebz fan,lol).

Mentir Para Vivir #51 Wed 12/18/13 Rocky Mariano wins this round, Gramps is a spook, and Tito’s a no-show tonight :(
Holy Gym of Comeuppance
When last we saw el "Cura Metiche", as Seba calls him,
he had just given Seba just a bit of the comeuppance he's got coming to him.
He delivers to blows to the old breadbasket and then has Seba by the
throat and asks him if he'd like to die. Padre appears to be afraid of
his own strength and backs off. Sebas, never one to know when enough is
enough, lunges after the good Padre when his back is turned. Padre makes
quick work of him and throws him against the bookcases, which aren't very
secure cuz they fall right over. He reaches to help him up then tells him
to leave. Apparently, Sebas has had enough “spiritual counseling” for one night
and finally leaves. Padre is left alone to pick up the pieces.
Outside, Sebas, con cara de mil chingazos, calls a friend. The
phone rings at the beach house. Marilu announces it's Sebas. Paloma wants
to answer but Oriana figures it would be best to ignore him. Sebas is really
pithed and races away from the church.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó #21-12/18/13: Lots of Lying Liars Lying A Lot! or, as we used to say in Kentucky, "YOU A LIE, GIRL!"
A fews scenes have been combined to avoid some back and forth
Lo refrito: Nada tonight
Morning, Chez Padre Anselmo: Ale has come for a visit with his wise and loving man-of-the-cloth friend. Padre wants to know if Ale finally talked to Montse as he'd promised and if now the marriage situation is a little better for Ale and Montse. Ale says they did finally talk, and he attempted to clear up some things, but it didn't help much because she's still cold, distant, and currently the only woman in Mexico (and definitely in Viewerville) who has no desire to sleep with him. He disgusts her. Father Anselmo in this scene proves that he is worthy of his own Dr. Phil-style talk show on Univison as he dispenses smart but honest love to Ale: he (with kindness) tells Ale to grow up some and get over himself. What does he (Ale) expect after all? Given all the horrible things that have happened, does Ale expect Montse will welcome him with open arms just because of one decent, long over-due conversation? What happened wasn't my fault, Ale protests--Father A. reminds him it wasn't Montse's fault, either. Ale has got to be more patient with her. If she still believes Ale is terrible, then he's got to summon sufficient intelligence to know it's his responsibility to show her with his actions that she's wrong about him. Ale says he's been thinking about it and has an idea of something to do to help things along. Padre A. says he's confident things will work themselves out. Have faith in God who won't abandon you.
Padre A then switches the subject and asks about Rosario. Ale says she's fine and that basically she's the only person Montse will talk to in the house. This makes Father A happy--Ale has no idea how much--but Father A. wants to know if Ale talks to Rosario, too. He says a little and that he asked her where she'd been the last 20 + years and that she only said it was in a place she'd rather forget. Father A then tells Ale that Rosario was in prison. Ale is impactado and wants to know why. Father A assures him it that Rosario was wrongly accused and when Ale wants to know more Father A tells him to ask Rosario himself--to encourage Rosario to open her heart to him. Ale again wants to know why, why, but Father A. takes his confessional vow of silence seriously and will only HINT BROADLY but not actually spill the frijoles. Ale looks curious, and, smart guy that he is, you think he'd figure it out, but I suppose this shoe won't be dropping for a good 20-30 epis or so, if that.

Corazon Indomable, #157, 12/17/13 Maricruz disappears AGAIN. Tav thinks he lost her forever AGAIN. Alvaro comes to the rescue AGAIN. I never have to write a CI recap AGAIN!
Most scenes have been condensed and cut short (sadly, I couldn't ignore them).
Tav has decided he won’t go
to Isla Dorada, he’ll just drop Doris off and get back to Mexico City with the
same plane; he has to do this for his daughter, he explains to a furious Doris.
This is when she blurts out that MC is already free, so he can come with her
because Lupita will have her mother from now on.
Ay, no puede ser, MC is
free? Tav is utterly surprised and mad with Doris for keeping this a secret.
She explains that she wanted to save (!!) him from MC, because she knows that
no matter what MC does / has done, he will always forgive her.
Now Tav doesn’t want to go
to Isla Dorada at all, Doris can travel alone and he’ll join her later. And if
he doesn’t, he’s sorry.
Maria has finally reached a police
station and asks about Maricruz Olivarez, a woman that looks very much like her…
Oh, what a laugh I just had. NEXT!

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 20, Tuesday, December 17, 2013: And the Award for the Best Couple goes to -- José Luis and Refugio!
The Old:
Montserrat reflects that Alejandro should have married María -- she is the perfect match for him.
The New:
Juventino is pulling on his boots and muttering to himself: he can't believe they didn't kill the capataz...and nobody said he was coming with another guy. He stalks away, presumably up to some off-camera mischief.
[The cry goes out through The Patio: Hide the fruit!]
José Luis sees Alejandro and María riding away and seizes the opportunity to check out the big house. Refugio, who now has a red bandana wrapped around his wrist in an unpleasant echo of the late and unlamented Gabino Mendoza, warns his friend to be careful. (Save your breath, Refugio.)
Sneaky, sweaty-faced JL slips into Alejandro's house, and peers into a room or two. Then -- busted! Rosario appears on the scene and questions his presence. He introduces himself as Antonio, the new capataz. When he hears that Alejandro is out, he says he'll return later.

Mentir Para Vivir #50 Tue 12/17/13 Sebastian is Going Straight to Hell Wearing Gasoline Soaked Green Jeans While Riding on an Turpentine Layered Conveyor Belt
Aresti Mansion: Sporting a grey business jacket, Sebastian barges into the Aresti living room and marches around searching for Fabiola. Matilde interrupts his quest in order to educate him on the proper way that a guest should enter a home, but he's not interested in etiquette lessons. Sebastian demands to know the whereabouts of Fabiola. She informs him that her daughter is on vakay. She asks what's so important. I knocked up your daughter and we gotta get married, says Sebastian. Matilde sneaks him with a quick right cross, but Leonardo yanks her away before she can follow through with a powerful left upper-cut. Leonardo orders Sebastian to leave. Sebastian tells Leonardo to butt out and find some business of his own. Leonardo steps all up into Sebastian's face and Sebastian swings at him. Leonardo side-steps the punch and knees his attacker in the gut. Sebastian runs out of the room, but not before threatening to kill Leonardo and saying that Fabiola will lose her chance with him if she does not say yes. After hearing the commotion, Nadia, the maid, runs into the room to comfort Matilde. Leave me alone, screams Matilde! Leonardo wants to know who the identity of the guy he kneed just in case there's a lawsuit. Nadia tells him that he just kicked Sebastian Sanchez Bratt-on.

Mentir Para Vivir #49 Mon 12/16/13 Everyone and their mama finds out that Fabiola is pregnant; the last to know – Fabi’s actual mama.
I apologize for any spelling mistakes/ long sentences... I'll get back to the recap later today to polish it.
Last week, before the long weekend break: Cesar decided to defend Fabiola’s honor by beating up
Piero and threatening to throw him into jail. Piero didn’t say anything to defend
himself, except that Cesar should talk to his sister.
Today: Fabiola
is talking with Padre Plaid at Mansion Aresti, explaining to him that Piero is
not the baby daddy, he’s just her confessor – she didn’t really make this clear
to Cesar, though.
Paloma walks in and wants to
know what is going on. Fabiola explains that she’s done something terrible and
her mother is going to kill her for it – she’s embarasada and Seb is the father.
Paloma makes a CRAP! Cara, but hugs Fabiola.
At the same time the proud
daddy to be receives a visit from his faux bro, Ric. They get into it when Ric
asks Seb if he seduced or raped Fabi. Whatever the case, if he doesn’t marry
her, he’ll end up in jail, because she’s a minor.
(Excuse me as I take a pause
to express my feelings about Ric’s hypocrisy – when he supposedly left a minor
pregnant, daddy shipped him off to school in another country and paid off the
mother-to-be, but Ric has no problem forcing marriage on Seb – YES, he’s a
creep, but because he’s a creep, they shouldn’t want Fabiola tied to him
forever.)
As Ric storms out, Antonio
comes to talk about Seb’s bright future as a president to the shady negocio he and Fauxcisco Castro are
setting up. He finds out what his maybe spawn has been up to lately. Is Antonio’s
heart filling with pride at the idea that his son is following in his footsteps
by impregnating a minor? No, he’s pissed because another scandal is the last
thing Seb needs after the whole paternity debacle.

Por siempre mi amor #10 12/16/13: Revenge, Rest, and... Romance?
Hello everyone! It's been a couple of weeks now and I realize that I have never actually introduced myself. My name is Kathy and I am coming to you from a small farm in western Washington State.
And now I have to say this: Go Seahawks!
I have been a reader and commenter on Caray! for a few years now. My first TN was the final few weeks of Passion', (I was using Google translate on in the short episode summaries from the Univision website to figure out what was going on. That was baffling...). Thank goodness I found Caray in time for MEPS. I was part of the "After Midnight" party for CS '09 and LVO and most recently the train wreck known as PEAM. This is my very first attempt to do recaps for a TN. I am not a Spanish speaker, I am just a rank beginner, so I will be relying a lot on the closed captions. If there are things that I get wrong it's because I didn't understand or I wasn't able to get something down on paper fast enough. If I make some mistakes or forget something please feel free to put it into the comments. Insights and input from all of you make the recaps so much more fun.
Friday's episode was a condensed version of everything that's happened up to now. Univision showed its love for those of us on the west coast by airing it at 2am Pacific Time! Yeaaah, we love you too, Uni!
Refritos:
Sonia and Arturo talk about the punishment Aranza should get for fighting at school.
Grandma Meanie slaps Esteban for questioning her opinion.
Isabel cries over her memories of Fernando.
The New Stuff:
Sonia and Aranza are talking about the punishment Arturo has given Aranza for the fight she had with Dafne at school. Sonia sits at the tea table, but Aranza quickly pulls her up from the chair. "That's my Mama's seat." Sonia goes and sits on the bed. She says Arturo is wrong and he shouldn't punish Aranza for defending Esteban. "I'm on your side, Aranza. I love you." Aranza is eating her words like candy. Still, there's one more thing that's bothering her - Dafne told her Sonia would be her step-mother. "Oh, please," Sonia laughs, "I'm not your step-mother, I'm your aunt. And your friend isn't really a friend. She's telling you things that just aren't true. I'm your friend. I'll always be on your side."
Time passes. F-no is taken from the local jail to prison. At Tita's, the remodeling work is well underway. Gonzalo is busted at his dirty apartment and is taken away in handcuffs. At school, Dafne jealously watches as Esteban and Aranza grow closer. And at Arturo's the bond between Aranza and Sonia gets stronger.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #156, Monday, December 16, 2013 “Free At Last, Free At Last, Thank God Almighty, Maricruz Is Free At Last!!!......AND SO AM I!!!!!”
Recap by LatinaInMD
Thank you, Lord. I’m done. My personal “sentence” is complete. To all of Viewerville, thank you for the opportunity to recap C.I. When I began this journey, I enjoyed watching this novela and thus enjoyed recapping it too. But I must sadly agree with my fellow recappers and the rest of Viewerville that the third and fourth parts of C.I. have been truly painful to watch, so I am overjoyed that this process is over for me.
Note: Some scenes are combined.
Maricruz and Octavio continue their tearful goodbyes as Lupita enjoys an apparent Benadryl-induced psychedelic trip with the overhead studio lights. She’s so out of it that Octavio has to raise her arm for her so she can give a limp-hand wave goodbye to her crying mama.
Alfie’s dad informs his grieving wife that Natasha and her entourage of starving artists are back and wish to speak with her. She refuses to see them. She is not about to attend to her son’s “enemies”. Dad has no choice but to go face the music, er, headband-wearing Natasha and her gang, who insist that they will fight to get back their friend’s painting. Alfie’s dad promises to give them back the money he received for the “masterpiece”, but he begs them not to sully his son’s name by revealing that he stole it from his friend.
ShutUpDoris is back in town. Oh joy. She tells Octavio she still has problems with her daddy because of her plans to marry Octavio, but she couldn’t care less. Octavio expresses concern that once back on the island her daddy will make life impossible for them. Then, true to his nature, he goes from having just sworn undying love to Maricruz to yet again saying he must “take” his daughter with him, but “legally” he says - as opposed to just kidnapping her for a third time, I guess. (Of course, seconds later he does an about-face and says there’s a chance Maricruz will be set free, in which case she is entitled to her kid.)….Octavio suggests to S.U.D. that she return to the island and wait there for him while he resolves what will happen with Lupita. She refuses to leave on the “eve” of their wedding.
