De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #2- Mon 3/11

De que las cosas se complicaron, se complicaron!

The fact that Natalia and Diego just met yesterday make it easy for Rodrigo to pretend to be his brother, though she does notice the difference in kisses.  She just thinks he's being silly.  When Diego catches up to her later, he doesn't explain being on a bicycle or wearing a different shirt.  He's just glad to find her alone, so he turns back around to go confront Rodrigo.  Rodrigo keeps insisting on playing his little sicko twin game and wants to "share" Natalia.  Diego decides to enlist the help of the Bro Boys to lock Rodrigo in the room while he's taking a shower.  He's ultimately released by Diego's not-girlfriend and her friend who have shown up to crash Diego's vacation.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #67 US 3/10/2014 The Padre's Dead, Zenaida Survives but will Cuca and Tita?

Well Amigos, we dodged one bullet and got hit by another. PSMA stayed in its time slot at 8PM but Uni is up to the old tricks again, deleting scenes and combining episodes. Monday's episode was a sliced and diced scrambliation of episodes #86 and #87 in Mexico. I didn't know Uni was going to start doing this again, so I only watched the first episode online. I'm sorry to say that I missed lots of the dialogue in the second half because the closed captions were lagging way, way behind the conversations. I'd really appreciate if all of you could help fill in what I missed in the comments.

As usual - and I was really hoping I'd never have to type this again - deleted scenes are in italics. Some scenes have been combined:

Leftovers:
Javier realizes the private investigator is following him.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 3/1014 #84



Chapter 84: The Lady Vanquishes

Almonte Townhouse: Lady Monserrat demanded that her mother explain how she came to have a daughter with Lord Benjamin Almonte. Countess Graceless insisted that she had no right to know this, but Lady Monserrat would not relent. A crocodile's tears are still visible, and Countess Graceless shed hers as she explained that she had fallen into a delicate condition in a time when the obvious current solution was not possible. When she gave birth to a baby girl she decided that it would be best to put her up for adoption. However she died shortly after birth and the hairs Countess Graceless saved were all she had of her. She had not been aware that modern science could disclose not only the parentage but the gender of the hair's donor. Lady Monserrat had spoken to Father Anselmo who had explained that he and Macario had buried the infant. Her sister. She asked whether her mother had ever visited the burial place and Countess Graceless tearfully told her she had never had the courage to do so. It was a wound that would never heal, she cried.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #83- 3/7/14: 'Cause I Want It That Way



Ahoy Amguis. It is bright and sunny on the Patio today, but the storm clouds are gathering in the distance. There is a disturbance in the force, known as Pedro Medina, and as his machinations start to sprout and bear fruit, we on the Patio, have prepared that Bunker again. It will be nice and cozy when the time comes for its use. In the meantime, let us enjoy the soft breezes, tropical drinks and the wonderful company as you sit back and enjoy this little earworm that I have found for you.  Please don't diss the recapper for the first earworm choice, cause well, I'm a fan ; )  I Want It That Way


When we last left Nadia and Esme they were having a little convo about that thorn in their side, named Pedro Medina. That man is a sticky wicket. Nadia is lamenting the fact that she is trapped in her loveless marriage and there can be no divorce. Esme wants to help Nadia as much as Nadia wants to help Esme. Nadia drops the bomb on Esme by telling her that gasp *EZ and Pedro are amantes* (lovers)! Well, shut the front door Irene, but Esme is floored. No way she tells Nadia. EZ is so into Esme, as in girlz. Not boys! Well, shut Nadia's mouth, but, but, she caught EZ underwater in that jacuzzi, with Pedro in it! Esme tells Nadia she is wrong, wrong and wrong. EZ is a brown noser (I learned this little phrase when I was in the Navy, it means you have your nose so far up your boss' butt, it turns brown), he's ambitious but he is NOT gay! Look on Nadia's face Priceless!!!!

Que Pobres tan Ricos # 44, MA falls deeper into his 'A-hole'-itis after Mati does another 'trick' on him and then can't remember the details.

Isela gives up on giving Mini advice. She tells her I don’t care anymore what happens to you.


Mini calls someone on phone. Out comes A-hole. She has to hang up and he asks who she was about ot call. You dear! … Mini says it was him and he sais it makes no sense she was calling him from patio to the house. A-hole looks at Mini’s belly… he says she looks like she is getting bigger… calls her ‘mi gordis’ and she hates that. Don’t you dare say I have a belly. Isela uses the opportunity to mock Mini some. Isela again squeezes A-hole’s cheeks as he takes his exit. Isela urges Mini to start using the ‘fake belly fillers’. And as she leaves, she mocks Mini again calling her ‘GORDIS!!’ (leaves laughing)

Lupita comes in to Mati’s room. Lupe had bought Mati some clean pj’s at the market. Mati loves them. They look so warm! Shouldn’t have. Lupe says no sweat. Would love to do more to make her feel comfortable. Mati swears God will compensate her some day.

Saul/MA out somewhere… Saul still miffed at MA for the ‘fideicomiso’ plan. MA says now more than ever I need that money urgently! (again gives his family as excuse to get the money any way he can).

The notary with bad hearing is reviewing the papers MA and Saul brought him. MA yells at the guy and only gets the guy more mad. The lawyer yells at them because the papers in the envelope seem some sketches from Gwendy or Perla instead of the papers MA meant to bring over… MA again blames it on Saul and his young brother ‘Leonardo’. (ah! So these sketches belonged to Leo?) MA and Saul mention that the papers were in the ‘bust’ of the grandpa and the lawyer takes that the wrong way and ends up kicking them out of the office. Don’t waste my time!! As Saul and MA leave, they argue again. MA tries to blame Saul and he bounces the potato back. They are yelling at each other. Saul is right in ranting that he has spent so much time with MA trying to help him out. MA says I can handle my issues ALONE!! Saul just leaves in a huff.

Por Siempre Mi Amor 3/7/14 (Friday) #66

Bullets tonight. Un lujo de detalles mañana.

  • Javier decides he needs to get rid of Este. That will kill two birds with one stone since it will destroy Andrea. Even Sonia seems appalled.
  • Dan confronts Sonia and wants to know why she went to see Mari so much at Tita's and why she jumped the gun in introducing her to Don Gil. Sonia claims she was just looking after little bro.
  • Art hires an inept PI. Javier spots him almost immediately and confronts him (we have to wait until Monday to find out what happens.)
  • Dan and Gil get into a huge fight. Dan is leaving the house and Gil is cutting off any financial support. This is good news to Sonia since it just means more $$$ for her.
  • Gabi finds out about Almudena and Bruno wanting to adopt the kiddoes. She calls Bruno and bursts into tears as she congratulates him. Later she and Isa talk about mood swings. Isa asks Gaby what she will tell the baby about the daddy.

Thursday, March 6th, 2014-Por Siempre mi Amor Recap # 65- Oh, The Way We Were....

Recap by CorazonSalvaje

This is the first half of the episode- feel free to add any missing parts.

Daffne Duck is going off on 'Za about how she has always been in love with BonBon. 'Za calls BS; she would always insult the boy. (right on the money there) Daffne then says she did it to hid how she really felt (LIES!) and 'Za then says anyone who heard her could automatically suspect she was a spiteful bitch (some paraphrasing LOL) More back and forth about BonBon and then she says she hated feeling that way about him while he was 'Za's BF. She had to think horrible about him to shoot him out of her heart. A little more chit-chat and Daff states they've always been like sisters and she would never go against her, EVER.
-Dena is telling BrunBrun how she feel sabout Tita's arresting. She states it feels like an exaggeration and Tita doesn't deserve that after all the good she has done. To finalize this scene, she states none of this would be happening if it hadn't been for that stupid anonymous call. BrunBrun laments unfortunately, they will neverknow who made it. Ally gives an expression that screams, "Watch 'while I SMH. (for reals sistah!)"
-On the stairs, 'Za is apologizing for having things happen the way they did and she didn't mean for them to occur. Daff then states times they are a'changin'; BonBon is single (and not really ready to mingle), you left him for another (more like one who is in need of a Lorena Bobbit job) and I had to go be his shoulder to cry on. It was hard spilling my guts though and watching him in pain the way he was. She asks if she is over BonBon and just into FeVer. 'Za says yes but BonBon is her ex and her first above all things, he will always be her first love. 'Za never thought they'd be having that conversation (LOL) but isn't jealous. Daffne Duck thanks her for understanding that her love for BonBon is the purest of pure love (water.)
-Dena is wondering about Bronce Mari. She is about to grow into legal age; therefore, they can't place her in an institution. Brun explains what's up and that Bronce Mari was accused of working with a delinquent gang (Dante, Gonzo and unfortunately, Borlas) which leaves Dena shocked. Some chit-chat later and Dena says something about they ending up with all the enanitos. Brun slightly blows a gasket at the thought of all of them being theirs.
-DannyBoyl is astonished (negatively) with what Bronce Mari did with the kids and she then laments they will be taken away from her now. DannyBoy then says something about a few more years and BM says at least she had somewhere to take them. DB then says when she is a mother, she'll be excelente (positively) and BM says she doesn't want any other ones. She is happy with los enanitos and she was so close to them.
-Dena is getting mad since Brun is showing cold feet at the thought of adoption (hace poco, he was ecstatic about it...) He isn't regretful about adoption but he wants a baby; a newborn! Dena explains a baby would be nice but there are five kids who need them more than ever (y ademas, they're loved by the kids!) Dena says they haven't a moment to lose. Let's get to the police and adopt the kids lickety split! If not, then other couples are going to take them. Brun then says they have to get DannyBoy and Tita out of jail. Dena agrees but he had to promise to make sure those kiddoes will be their after all! He tries to turn her off about it by describing the situation as drastic but she is resistant and mentions she isn't alone. She had him and Zenaida and TITA! She gave them classes, she is ready. Brun is surprised by all this. Dena says she has never been able to have kids and this would fulfill her dream of being a mother. Some sympathy later and the two hug (I think it's the most inimate they have been in this entire novela.)
-FeVer stares pensively outside the window thoughbubbling about how he made out with 'Za and that he has to watch his back for his son due to the fact that 'Za and BonBon are still in love. Hell no, he is thinking out loud about how he is going to dispose of his son. (You won't get away with this FeVer.)
-BonBon is laying down on the red couch when 'Drea comes to ask what's up.BonBon denies and she states he is a good liar and should speak his mind. He says he doesn't wanna worry her. Is it that bad? OK so he went to the movies with Daffne and coincidently, 'Za and FeVer were there. 'Drea then agrees that is bad but changes opinion(s) when she hears that FeVer told them to be civilized and that it was Daffne's idea. Daffne and 'Za are best friends who live together;inseperable. The least FeVer and BonBon can do is stick it out and mature (only one has to mature but he who does is beyond redemption so it's too late.)
-Isa and Art Dad are worried about Tita being convicted. Especially with how happy she was earlier when annoucing her wedding with Oso.
-'Drea and BonBon are talking some more and about gMeanerva. 'Drea plans on asking someone to keep their eye(s) on her. BonBon says she seems redeemed and that she plans on taking therapy. 'Drea requests he help her since they have always been close and he is happy to oblige.
-'Za drops the ball and let's Isa know about Soni's ways. At dinner, she figured everything out. She gets everything from a face Soni made when Tita said she has always wanted to be Missus De la Riva. She also lets it spill that Soni influenced her with bad behavior plans and asks for forgiveness but Isa states it happened years ago and she will always love/forgive/ give love (to) her. 'Za swears she will never let Soni ruin her life again. That is, Isa lets her know she has been talking with Soni lately and the girl acts changed.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 82, 3/6/14--The Foundling's Tale--


Beware of Women In Black Hats
 
The señorita in the black hat walked into Alejandro’s town mansion like she owned the place. By total happenstance Mama Rosario had answered the doorbell when it rang and the woman rushed past Rosario as a narcotraficante cigarette boat might move past a 1929 Stephens Brothers Motor Launch, all flash and dash and no class at all.

Mama Rosario held her dignity as she brought the blonde a cup of coffee and offered it to her with an air of gracious formality. When the woman asked if she was the keeper of the keys (housekeeper) Rosario gave a tiny nod and a meaningful “No,” as she slid out of the room gracefully.

Alejandro prowled in looking like a lion that had spent too long in a tanning bed. He checked to see who had come by his den. Montserrat was by his side, with a not unfriendly smile.

“I am Alejandro Almonte and this is my wife, Montserrat.”

“I am looking for Don Benjamin Almonte,” said the woman in the black hat.

“My father died a year and a half ago.”

Now, for the first time, the woman looked a bit off-balance. “I understood

“You understood that my father had no children.” Alejandro looked slightly irked. “Everyone assumed that but it was not true.”

The woman had broad shoulders, like a swimmer, and she looked elegant standing there in a long black dress that might have been purpose-built to go with the hat. It was clear that the hat was what was important in this outfit.

She got a knowing look on her face and, almost under her breath she said, “My uncle died.  Now I understand everything.”

Alejandro looked like he had swallowed a bitter Chinese herbal concoction as he asked his cousin to sit down. He said he had no idea that his father had other relatives.

“My name is Fabiola Guillen Almonte.”

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #43- 3/6/14: Money, Money, Money!



Hola Amiguis! Shall we begin? Here's an earworm for y'all to listen to as you read the recap:For The Love of Money.

AS is pithed the maitre de hotel wants her to pay the bill like toute de suite, in other words, now! She argues with the guy that she is high society and things are just not done this way, by Jove! Leo is right there with her and is worried that bill is sky high! Leo utters "Help Me Jesus"!

Mini has Adolfo on the phone and is trying to convince him to suelte la sopa (spill the soup) give up the goods. Well, Ahole has heard enough and wants the phone. He shoos Isela and Mini off. Mini does stay lurking to hear what is being said, close enough and not too far away. Adolfo wants that lana like yesterday. Ahole tells him it will take some time to gather the lana together. Adolfo wants 35 thousand dollars and not a penny less. If he doesn't come up with it soon, I think Adolfo says he'll want more. Ahole is pithed!

AS and Leo finally get the bill and it's a whopper. AS thought the champagne and caviar were the bennies, as in free, for this deluxe hotel to give out. Nopis! The Maitre de Hotel tells them they take payments in Dollars, Pesos or Euros, take your pick. AS says she will pay.

Breaking news:Dimitrio is a boy and has a back bone! Lo que la vida me Robo #81 3/5/14

Hi everyone, I want to start of by thanking you all for your kind thoughts, the last few weeks have not been great, I lost a childhood friend, work is driving me crazy (working super long hours) and yesterday we got bad news regarding my sister, as some of you may know she suffers from lupus and it looks like her illness has caused damage to her kidneys-and all the other treatments have not worked for her, so not good news, which is why you are getting a quick recap from me today-she gave me this news last night as I was watching Robo, so I'm not in snarky mood today, at any rate I hope my quick recap helps. Again, thank you all for everything, I've never met a better group of people on the internet, you guys are all super special :)


  • Josefina takes Graciela's advice and stands up to Tomas, she wants control of her money and dares him to take her credit cards, money and property, this was a bad idea because he kicks her out of the house and she ends up in Graciela's living room crying her little eyes out while Graciela throws insults her way, but what's this? Dimitrio stands up for her, oh my who knew he could grow a back bone? He tells his mother to STFU and stop with the insults, and informs her that his wife is going to be living there with him, although Graciela is not a happy camper. Later in the episode Dimitrio goes to talk to Tomas who tells him his intention is to return to Josefina all of her cash-as long as she agrees to leave with him to Mexico city and never come back to town, Dimitrio is a sad panda and almost looks like he could cry at the prospect of his wife going bye-bye. That same day, after he has an argument with Graciela, Dimitrio has the absolutely great idea of leaving with Josefina, he tells her to pack because they is leaving! Josefina talks him out of it (nooooooooo) and in the end they stay put, ooooh and did I forget to tell you folks that Graciela made Josefina clear the table like she was a maid? B*tch.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/5/14 (#42): Team Recap!!!

I wasn't able to post a recap. As consolation, I offered this unrelated but very spectacular recipe for carnitas.

Our wonderful readers/commenters posted all the bits and pieces, and I was able to add a few more things after watching the first half of the episode this morning. Here is what we came up with:

Madelaine:
Mati refuses to go to the doctor even though MA tells her its best for her. Frida sides with Granny so Mati doesn't go to the doctor.

Madelaine, Anon, Martaivett, Jarifa, and Julie:
MA and Saul go to that construction company and meet another guy that has been doing some research on the deceased Mr. Trejo's old accounts.

The adviser told MA and Saul that the place in the Nopalera was NOT worth a million dollars, but there is a fideicomiso (trust fund) of a million dollars (not pesos) for the OWNER of the property when he finishes paying it off. MA wants to get hold of documents that prove he is the owner by having Granny Mati deed the place over to him, thus cutting off the Menchacas - which Saul is telling him is wrong and unethical (just like Alejo).

The lawyer/notary clearly said the property would belong to the 'owner' once he finished paying for it so it clearly is pointing to Don Chuy.

ALSO: He says that there are two halves of the trust fund document. He's got one half, and the owner of the property will have to present the other half along with the property deed in order to claim it.

There is ALSO a "clause," but he can't tell them about that until they bring the deed AND the other half of the trust document (and maybe something more, I dunno).

Saul tells MA that if he were going to pull a fast one on the Menchacas he would be just like his cousin Alejo; it would not be ethical; it would result in legal problems and he (Saul) would not help him.

Que Pobres Mas Ricos # 41, Mini finds MA and vows to get him back. Grandma Mati found. A-hole makes a generous offer to AS, she lies: La Condesa supports us. Lupe and MA have another cute scene alone.

Refrito: Lupe breaks Nepo’s heart… in the most subtle way she can think of… which is nice of her.


Lo Nuevo: not sure I liked that Lupe put the ‘Mati lost’ situation as excuse to send Nepo off for the nite.

Tato and Frida, she accepted his ride after all. She is honest to him that he is all ‘pose’ and no backbone. He forces a kiss on her, and gets a slap back. (good for you Frida!!) She leaves, he laughs it off.

Here is Maca!! Again at restaurant with AS and Leo spending money, Maca wants Escargot (fuchi!), AS mentions that it is the best in Mex, even Dionisio, the God of wine, would approve of the selection. LOL!

Isela and Mini… Isela is getting a massage, nagging at Mini, saying 'if it weren't for these moments, I would have given you up for adoption right off the bat', says that Mini stresses her out. Tato calls Mini’s cell. Tells her he knows the area where Frida lives but not the exact address (Mini gets mad, hangs up on him.) Mini asks Isela if she remembers of any property the RP had at San Angel. Isela says she remembers that is where the old house of Don Aure/Dona Mati’s was. Isela asks Mini what are you up to now? Mini says I know ‘mi cuento’(my story). Isela asks what will we tell A-hole now? Mini: you’ll come up with something.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 80, Tues., March 4, 2014: Love in the Time of Cannabis


Or is it opium?  We may never know precisely which drogas ilicitas have been sown on Alejandro's land.  All we can say for sure is that our little telenovela has taken a 'ripped from the headlines' turn.  The Mayor of Aguazul is not just a cruel and corrupt man with severe emotional problems and a hunger for control; nor is the Chief of Police just a clown-like opportunist with a gift for manipulation.  As these last few episodes have shown, these two -- and all who work for and with them -- are part of the modern Mexican scourge: drug trafficking.
