Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Adolfo loses his starch, Leo gets a love poem, they'll be serving more vegetables at the cafe.

Greetings friends, thanks to Julie for switching with me so I can get up at 5 am and leave town.
===============================
Adolfo Giron continues to put the moves on Vilma and she finally likes it. He does have a very sexy voice. She's learning to smile and sashay when she walks. She goes to get groceries for the delicious dinner he'll make and purrs: "You don't need to call me licenciada any more, but we are not going to say tu, the formal is more exciting."

Saul has staked out Vilma's house. MA sneaks up (disguised in - A HAT). Hearing that the police have been hunting for MA in the barrio, Saul offers his own house as a hideout, but MA doesn't want to leave Alejo a free field with Lupe.

They watch Wilma leave. Saul: "Look she is smiling, I haven't seen that in years!" MA pretends to be a delivery guy (in his HAT) and convinces a neighbor to let him through the gate. He sneaks upstairs and pushes his phone number under the door. He tells Giron: "We're in the same boat, you're a fugitive too, we have a mutual enemy. And you KNOW I'm innocent." "Yes, but it's my neck. I can't help you." MA is disappointed and leaves.

Chapter 129: Touch of Evil

Mendoza Mansion: Gracie Mendoza sat on the couch, ruminating about the consequences of Josefina Valverde's return to Aguazul. She had never liked her and had never been honest about her reasons for this hatred, even with herself. Now she was wondering what revenge Josefina was planning by defying her demand to clam up about Alejandro Almonte being alive. She didn't have a lot of time to think about this because Fabiola Guillen and Sandro Narvaez arrived and barged in.

Outdoor Café: Amelia explained to José Luis that she had married Pedro Medina under some very special conditions, which was to say that the marriage was for the convenience of appearances.

Que pobres tan ricos, #89 09 May 2014 MA, Adolfo and even Tizoc have a moment to remember

We return to Lupe picking up Emiliano and MA finding them there… Lupe goes back in the school for a moment and MA uses the opportunity to ask Emiliano why he is lying to his mother. Emiliano says he is just finding it fun to keep the secret with A-hole. Emi asks MA not to tell Lupe. MA says no I won’t tell her, but you will, because you know it is not right to keep that information from her. I will wait until you tell her yourself.


Cop Jennifer is in car asking around La Nopalera with a drawn picture of MA if anyone has seen him. First she asks a girl dressed as clown, then she asks Tomas… Tomas fakes not knowing him and even confusing him with a novella star (again the reference to novellas).

A-hole is giving Vilma some orders, notices she is not really focused on what they are doing, Vilma receives a cell phone call, its Adolfo. She won’t answer in front of A-hole, Ahole notes that she seems to have her mind elsewhere. She comes up with the excuse of her moon/venus/planets lining up in her favor. She steps out to call Adolfo back. As Vilma is talking to Adolfo and he is asking her to stop by the grocery store to get him razor and shaving crème, Mini overhears Vilma on phone, finds out Adolfo Giron is staying at Vilma’s. Later Mini discusses with Isela whether or not she should tell MA about Adolfo’s whereabouts.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #45- Thu 5/9

De que hubieron muchas emociones, hubieron muchas emociones

Irene lays down the law and tells Natalia she's not doing herself OR Brigitte any favors covering up for her.  Natalia says she does it because Brigitte has always thought Natalia is the favorite and she knows Brigitte's insecure.  Irene says Brigitte's going to have to get ahead on her own merits and Natalia's silence isn't the way to fix things.  Irene's going to talk to Brigitte and if her attitude doesn't change, then she'll have to fire her.

Brigitte runs into a classmate at the mall and says she hasn't been around lately because she's been doing her "community service" which takes all day.  She complains about being "exploited" and paid a "pittance" at Caprico, but her classmate says most places don't even pay, so Brigitte's lucky.  Brigitte accepts her classmate's invitation to have coffee and complain about Natalia, who she's having SUCH a difficult time putting up with.  Yeah, 'cause Natalia's such a hateful, manipulative, scheming cow.

Natalia brings Diego to the fonda for lunch.  He's dying to try the empanadas.

The world according to Brigitte: Natalia has always been jealous of her, Irene's an idiot for believing in her, Carmen's in her pocket as well.  Diana, avoiding a bookstore, sits at a table behind Brigitte and gets to hear her delusional diatribe.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #112/Mexico #151 FIN- That Sucked (™ tofie)

It has been a pleasure to be on this team. I have really enjoyed the show, but mostly I've enjoyed the conversation and comments. I looked forward to tofie's daily lists and I appreciated CD's Dead Pool list. Special thanks to Tablet Jefa who was a great leader. She also covered for me several Friday nights. Thank you xlnt for your hilarious pictures. Thanks Corazon for "fArt". It's probably my all time favorite nickname. Thank you for your work J desde NYC! I will be recapping De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero and looking forward to watching La Gata (I hope the rumors are true that it will be here in July!)

Fernando (Feo) gives Arturo (fArt ™ Corazon), Isabel (Isa) and Aranza (Ara) time to say their goodbyes. He takes Sonia out of the cell. Sonia starts telling him she loves him and he says he loves her, too. Outside he shows Sonia 4 graves and tells her who each one is for: Arturo, Aranza, Isabel and YOU! Goodbye, Sonia. She starts blubbering and telling him she'd never betray him. She loves him! They're partners! Feo tells her she betrayed him when she fell for Fabricio (Fab.) She swears she didn't love Fab. He was just part of her plan. She begs FEo not to kill her. They have a son together!!

Esteban (Este) arrives at the lair. He calls Agente Rosas and gives him directions.

Sonia continues to beg Feo to spare her. She kisses him and he shoots. Este hears the shots, as do the prisoners inside. It sends Ara into a panic. Este tells Agente Rosas about the shots. The police officer tells him NOT to enter the property. Este ignores him. He's goin' in!!!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #44- Thu 5/8

De que hay opciones, hay opciones

Don't worry about your little wardrobe malfunction, Brigitte.  "I didn't see anything.  I've already forgotten."  She finally stops her relentless and feeble attempt at seduction when Irene and Natalia come back from the copy shop.

Paolo gets the job, to the delight of his new love interest.

Diego complains to the ladies about his crappy severance pay and his plans to sue.  He's planning to use the money to finance the clothing line.  Irene knows exactly what the old goat is up to.  Natalia is alarmed to hear that Diego is going to leave the house…"But what about Diana?"  Natalia…there is such a thing as being too good!

From the kitchen, Irene explains to Alonso that she's going to have dinner with Tad.  He gets whiney.  That is not attractive, Alonso.

Diego's bags are packed.  He's got no intention of living under the same roof as his lyin' grandpa and his cheatin' soon-to-be-ex-wife.  Diana gets tipped off and sends Alina to threaten him.  Diana joins them, whining about not wanting to be locked up.  Diego explains to Vicente it's for the health of the baby.  He calls their bluff and says "Take her if you want to.  I'll figure out how to get my child back."  Diana and Alina head upstairs to pack.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 127 - 5/8/2014 - Laurito Wants To Be The Red Headed Step-Child


Carlota and Montserrat Discuss Laurito’s Daddy Issues

•    Montserrat and Tia Carlotta speak of how Montse has tried to give Laurito a “picture” of his real father, Alejandro. Montse smiles as she remembers Ale changing Lauro’s diapers and holding him, way back in the day. This was, of course, after Ale rejected to kid as the bastard son of Jose Luis Alvarez, but it seems Montse only wants to remember the good times with her MIA husband.
•    Ever since Laurito started school Montserrat has put a picture of Alejandro in Lauro's backpack so his father could be with him all the time. I suspect this is so that if Alejandro makes a miraculous return Laurito will recognize him instantly.
•    Montserrat wants Lauro to always love Alejandro, particularly after Little Lauro becomes Jose Luis’ redheaded stepchild.
•    Carlotta proffers her usual brand of astute Pollyanna analysis. She thinks Lauro and his not-really-dead-dad Ale will always have a special bond.
•    Carlota says that a photo cannot make up for the hands-on love that Little Lauro needs. Montse cannot deny that to the child.

Jose Luis And Basurto Agree To Make a Convicted Felon The New Chief of Police

•    José-Luis concludes his deal with EZ Basurto. JL will be appointed the new Chief of Police in Aguazul. I wonder if he will have to wear that same kind of tacky laminated name badge around his neck that EZ sported when he was on the job? It could wrinkle his stylish new Italian suit. Huh.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #88: 5/8/14: The Commenters Recap

 Hola Amiguis! I am unable to do my  usual Thursday recap because Mr. Mads if having knee surgery at 6:00AM on Friday morning and I couldn't stay up to watch the episode. So I came up with a novel idea. Just as Julie did a whole team recap a couple three weeks ago, I thought I'd do a all commenters recap. This way the commenters can chip in and tell me what you saw. I will be back next Thursday, for my  usual recap. Thank  you so much for helping me out and hey, I have an earworm for you, I couldn't leave you without one ; ) The Best Is Yet To Come!

Pobres, 5/7: my first one!

Hi guys! This is my first time watching this show, so please forgive any mistakes I've made!

We open on Wilma and Alejo - Alejo gloats about how his son loves luxury (just like his dad) and will be easily won. Wilma favors a legal battle, but Alejo prefers his current plan.

Lupita attempts to convince MA that she wasn't involved in the hair pulling fight. She wasn't even there. Alibi - she's been with Alejo! He doesn't love that..

Money launderer guy (Adolfo) has made a nice dinner for Vilma. Alejo imperiously demands that Vilma bring him wine. Adolfo helps in a very friendly hands-on way, and Alejo snaps a pic with an evil look on his face and hiding his phone sneakily.

Flashback/dream for the kid of the amazing rich-kid room he'll have with his Dad. He shows off the expensive school photos to tizoc, with some easy commentary on the difference b/w rich and poor. How swiftly the boy has decided to be spoiled and obnoxious.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #126, 5-7-2014: Even blind, I'd know that unfortunate mustache anywhere!

Pedro returns to wreak havoc in Nadia's life; Josefina returns to discombobulate DIM;  Ale's recovery continues, but his desperation grows.


Lo refrito #1:  Gracie gives a performance worthy of a write-in campaign for a nomination as best actress at the TV y Novela Premios as she talks about how sad and lonely she feels over the loss of her children's love.  

Lo refrito #2 Buenos Aires, House of Victor and Nadia:  Pedro can see Nadia; Nadia can't see Pedro; things don't look good.

Lo nuevo
Mansion Mendoza-Basurto, Agua Azul, Mexico:   Gracie continues with her attempt at conciliatory speech-making.  She claims that all she has ever wanted was the best for her family, though she admits that what she thinks they want is not necessarily what they need.  The others seem skeptical, but she is either oblivious or not bothered and goes on anyway. She says she'll do whatever it takes to return to their good graces and that for her their happiness is worth any price:  

If she has to accept that loser ex-marinero José-Luis, she will.  

She also really wants to support DIM in his new relationship with er…. 

"What your name, sweetheart?" Gracie asks Dim's female guest.

"Monica," says Captain Monica Rentería, surprisingly quietly for someone used to giving orders.  (As a military woman, though, she seems to comprehend and accept Gracie's natural authority.)

Por Siempre Mi Amor #110 (Mexico #149)-Wednesday- 5-7-14-A Funeral and A Wedding And A Divorce All In The Same Episode!

As we begin to read this recap- anvils are making rapid descents.

Ara asks a dying Dante- where is her dad?  He was tricked into meeting Feo alone.  Feo will exchange Art for Isa.

Sadly Isa gets into a tugging match with the crazy doctor Skankenstien. The crazy bitch tells Isa to behave or she will kill the baby.  (Isa thought bubbles-  I wish that I knew and realized that hitting someone over the head with a heavy object would knock them out.  I would have knocked out Fernando and this crazy doctor.)

The first anvil of the evening:
Ara insists on getting answers from Dante, who is on his last leg and can barely speak.  Where did Feo take Art?  All Dante can remember is that they were on the highway heading towards Pachuca.  He got shot and Feo kept it moving with Art in the trunk.
I felt bad for Lucha and Gabino who found out at their son Dante's hospital bed, that he took the easy road and didn't listen, he regrets it and was Feo's accomplice.  Feo turned on him and shot him.  He told Ara that on Feo's computer, there is evidence against him, there are videos  can be used as evidence. He tells them that Fernando and Javier are the same person. Snooty Ara says, yea, we know that already.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #43 Wednesday 5/7/14

De que tienen apetito, tienen apetito

Ok folks, the DVR said it was recording, but it's not listed as recorded. I don't know what happened. This is just from crappy notes. There will be lots of holes. Sorry. Maybe later the recording will magically appear. I'm really annoyed. And my wit (such as it is) is gone. The recap is as dry as burnt toast.

El Refrito
Alberto (Albogado) tells Alonso (Al) about Diana's e-mail threatening to get rid of the baby. He asks Alonso for a psychological workup on Diana.

Diego is happy Irene didn't drink. He tells her about Natalia (Nat) and Brigitte (Brat) bringing everything to Nat's house. They talk a little about Diana. Irene starts to quote Alonso and stops herself. She backtracks and says it's something he told her in therapy about some women doing anything to get their way.

Albogado will get the paperwork ready to give to the judge so they can have Diana committed. After Albogado leaves, Alonso asks Eleazar to keep Alonso's relationship with Irene a secret.

Tad is back home. He doesn't want to tell Irene about his health problems. He doesn't want to be a bother.

Lo Nuevo
Irene, Nat and Brat will work at the Garcia departamento until a better location is found. Carmen is lukewarm about the idea.

Albogado and Alonso discuss the Diana conundrum. Her mom is back and surely sees Diana as the poor victim.

Alina (Diana's mom) is still talking to colleague in the field. It bothers her that she's not there. Diana takes offense. Alina asks if she had breakfast. Diana lies and tells her juice, eggs and bread. Diana leaves in a huff.

Irene, Nat and Brat work hard.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #42- Tue 5/6

De que hicieron el amor, hicieron el amor!

Alonso went to the bar to pick up Irene!  She didn't drink!  She's amazed Alonso still believes in her.  Well, of course she is, because her dad's a total tool!

Eleazar tries to find out why Chato has shown up all of a sudden, and what he was doing while he was away.  Chato doesn't mention his "problem," but he talks about how it would be impossible not to love Lupita and that he's had other women (yeah, right) but none as great as Carmen and he never should have left her.  He realizes it's time to pick Lupita up from school.  This is not going to go well.

Padre Juancho thinks Diana's threats are empty.  Natalia knows that even if she leaves Diego alone, he's still determined to get a divorce and no one's going to be able to convince Diana that it's NOT because of Natalia.  And if she tells Diego, then he'll confront Diana and she'll make good on her threat.  Natalia begs  Padre Juancho to go talk to her.  He grudgingly agrees, and I do not blame him for wanting nothing to do with that hot mess!  But, if he can't talk some sense into her, he thinks she needs to tell Diego.  In other words, just go tell him and save Padre Juancho the trip.  Seriously, Natalia…I thought you liked Padre Juancho.

RECAP BY CORAON SALVAJE:


(T'is my final PSMA recap. I will miss my team, Tofie's lists and the novela! On with the show!)

fART has put the pedal to to the metal and is on the phone with FeVer. He tells him to not even think of laying a finger on Isabel and that's when FeVer begins to push fART's berkserk button 'til it's stuck. (He gets to the point where he even says Isabel could be excepting a FeVer baby.) FeVer says if he wants to see Isa again, to take a detour and come alone (I guess you know what that means.)

The first couple of minutes did not record. Please fill in what I  missed.


Huckalious Ale is slowly crawling out of bed. He falls gracefully to the floor, pulls himself up and decided to do squats on the side of the bed. Nothing like being in a coma for 7 years and suddenly decide to work out.

Vic is outside the room and asks the nurse where he can get a cup of joe.  The nurse drops her tray of meds and Ale takes the opportunity to make his escape. He stumbles to the elevator unnoticed. He bypasses Vic who is trying to figure out out how to get a cup of joe out of the vending machine. He runs out of the hospital confused at his surroundings.

Vic returns to the room to find Ale gone.
