Qué Pobres, Martes 5/13/14 (#91): Oh my God! They killed Adolfo! You bastards!!
Oops. I screwed up a little bit. I agreed to switch nights with Jane. She asked me on Monday to do the recap "tomorrow," which of course was today, but my brain interpreted that as "Wednesday." I did see tonight's episode, but I didn't record it or take any notes.
Yeah, Adolfo is dead. Between one gun and the other we have the fingerprints of, I think, Nepo, MA, and maybe Trofeo... but not the killer, who doesn't like to get his hands that dirty.
Heh heh, it's a funny story, really. Let's go back in time...

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #48 and #49 5/13/14
Mainly the main events sort of in order and mightily condensed.
Diana calls Britgitte (Brat) and asks if she's done the dirty deed. Brat asks Diana if she knew Diego was a rapist. Diana is Qué???? Brat nags about the 3 mil pesos ($232...hmmm. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.) Diana tells her she'll make the transfer, but Brat tells her she doesn't have a bank account. Diana tells her to get one.
The Doctor has finished his tests and informs Diego, Alina and Diana that her eating disorder is yet again rearing its ugly head. Diana needs to eat. She will have to stay in the hospital. Diana is not pleased with this news. Neither is Alina. She's ready to bail. This is too much for mommy. Alonso gets filled in, too. He'll runs some psychological tests. While Alonso is there he gets a call from Irene. They plan to meet in the hospital cafeteria.
Carmen calls Luz. She needs her cooking wisdom. There's a new fonda opening around the corner! Later the family brainstorms ways to beat the competition (Mireya is her name...which they finally mention near the end of the two hours): Special offers, new recipes, marimba players (?)
Diana's baby is in danger. She risks losing it if she doesn't eat.
Brat wonders what Diego could have possibly said for Natalia (Nat) to forgive him. She thinks Alberto must know and calls him. They plan to meet.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #46- Mon 5/12
Let the 2-hour episodes begin!
Tiburcio makes excuses to the Virgen for not coming clean to the padre. Hilda makes fun of him, thinking it's stupid of him to talk about Irene's daughter "wherever she is" when he knows damn well she's dead.
Padre Juancho asks a staff member at the church what happened to the guy who wanted to talk to him earlier.
Tad places the blame for what happened to their daughter squarely on Vicente, not that it keeps Irene from thinking dark thoughts.
Brigitte kicks Natalia off the sewing machine, but then goes to a friend's house to watch a movie. Eleazar brings Lupita some chocolate and gets invited to stay for dinner. Chato won't be joining them. Eleazar looks at the sketches and gets the story of Irene Cacares Designs.
Chato arranges to hook up with his "mamita" to deliver the money in person. That could mean his actual mama or his hot mama, but judging from his guilt when he realizes Andres is listening, I don't think it's the woman who raised him.

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

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

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

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.

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