De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #101- Tues 6/24
Abdul is an AbDUMMY. He comes home drunk and starts a fight with Carmen. The next day he tells her he's leaving the house. He's going to live his life the way he wants. La Jaiba eggs him on for two hours. She calls him her man and offers him work. Carmen sends Padre Juancho to talk some sense into him to no avail. Padre Juancho also finds out the cantina is just a front for a brothel.
But it's OK!! Abdul's daddy is in the DF and he's shopping for computer equipment for his business. He asks a nice young lady to help. Her name is Natalia Garcia Pabuena!
Rod lets Grumps know that he talked to Diego and his leaving is not a good idea. Grumps is clearly all about the business since it's his "masterpiece."
Diego and Irene continue to work on their proposal to separate from Caprico. They think that since there is a crisis in the auto industry, Caprico will actually want the influx of cash that they are offering. (And this is the bit I don't get, they want to PAY to leave?)

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #100- Mon 6/23
Kimberly demands to know why El waited so long to tell her. But really, she doesn't care, because she's never going to forgive him and her only consolation is that Carmen doesn't love him and is going to marry Gino. So there! Cunchetina comes outside and suggests they go see Carmen now or consider themselves defeated.
Gino shows up at Carmen's with flowers, which she gladly accepts, and invites him in to tell him about her day. She tells him about the anonymous call and going to the hotel and seeing El with another woman, and Paolo about to check into the hotel with Mara. Gino doesn't think Paolo and Mara having the sex is so bad. He says the call must have been about Paolo, because why would the anonymous caller think Carmen would care about El? Why, indeed.
Tad tells Irene they played a mean trick on Natalia. He gets that she wanted Natalia's happiness and says Nat and Diego will save their love if it's strong enough. He suggests she back off Natalia for a while instead of trying to "fix" things.
Carmen blah, blah, blahs about how El's a good friend of the family is all. And he's screwing around with another woman when he's engaged. Hint, hint. Carmen asks Gino to imagine if someone saw HIM in the same situation as El…hmmmmm? Gino takes his leave and promises to have a manly chat with Paolo. Carmen, having come to the misguided conclusion that she has to end up with SOMEBODY, can't believe she was going to throw Gino over for El. Silly me, thinking one evaluated each suitor on his own merits.

Mi Corazón Es Tuyo (My Heart Is Yours) - Synopsis
Ana Leal (Silvia Navarro) is an exotic dancer by night who, as fate would have it, begins working as a nanny in a wealthy family’s mansion during the day. Fernando Lascurain (Jorge Salinas), the owner of this grand mansion and its even grander family, is a successful businessman and widower left with seven kids to raise. (This guy's been busy!)
Ana hates the exotic dancer gig but she has just lost possession of the house she's worked so hard to own. She's determined to begin all over again. Because of some clerical error during her job search, Ana learns she's actually been sent to apply as a “nanny” for a wealthy widower with seven—count 'em, s.e.v.e.n. …..uhmmmm..... shall we say ….vexingly vivacious..... --children. Their papi, meanwhile, is determined to replace his deceased wife with a woman of similar status and “breeding” (as in cattle, horses, and she-dogs).
Ana, although not from the righteously rarified right side of the tracks, manages to pull a Mary Poppins on the kids to get them over the trauma of losing their mama. Along the way, she and Fernando recognize their romantic attraction towards each other.
Also starring is Pablo Montero as Fernando’s brother and Mayrín Villanueva as a first-time villana. Other headliners are Carmen Salinas, René Casados, Adrián Uribe, Fabiola Campomanes, and Lisardo.

Que Pobres tan Ricos, #119, 20 June 2014. MA is transferred, AS is depressed, Perla is cover girl, and Lupe gets the last laugh/punch.
Lupe is ignoring Mini. Mini yells at the police receptionist that she is Minerva Fontanet, niece of so and so and demands to see Lic MARP. Lupe says she is Lupe Menchaca and wants to see him too. Receptionist is overwhelmed and just promises he will do what he can.
At Fonda, they all arrive. Very hungry Tizoc gets some killer stares. Frida asks how the trip went. AS whines and whines… she never thought she would say this but ‘finally we got home!’ But AS does not want to hear anything about MA. Not even Leo understands her attitude. Chuy gives her the benefit of the doubt and tells them she is more affected than it seems. Not everyone can express their feelings directly.
Gwendy with Nepo… he is deflated, she is trying to cheer him up. She offers him a ‘cure all’ shot… She brings a glass… he says he will need about chorros – hundreds of these to get over it. Gwendy is there for him. He says what he would like most is to cry… they are both already crying. Gwendy will accompany him in crying. He takes a shot glass in one swallow, then breaks down and cries. She says ‘go ahead get it out’.
The nurse is trying to read the paper. ‘check the Fonda, ‘al fondo’ (in the end… end of the hallway, end of the drawer… who knows). Nurse gives up in trying to figure it out.
Mini keeps nagging at Lupe, can’t believe MA fell so low. You even smell of frying fat. You are nothing but a ‘wild rose’. Lupe rebutes you are married to his cousin. Mini claims that marriage means nothing. She asks Lupe to admit that a man like ‘mi vi’ would never take a serious relationship with a ‘fritanguera’.
Nepo is napping on the couch with the bottle by his arm. Wakes up. Achis! Gwendy brings him some food (sandwiches). He needs Lupe to…. (Gwendy finishes his line… to love you!.) Gwendy asks him to get over it, if a woman doesn’t love you you have nothing to look for. Diego comes in at that time and Nepo is ready to beat him to a pulp, but Gwendy stops him. Nepo does not want to see DA anymore! DA is scared/shocked. DA tries to talk to him, but is decided to try the relationship with Leo, we are already ‘pareja’ ( a serious couple). Nepo believes it is a joke. Gwendy has to jump between them. She tries to get Nepo to listen, but to no avail. Diego again tries to talk to him, but all he gets is Nepo kicking him out. Gwendy offers her house to DA. Nepo won’t even let DA pack anything. And he kicks the two of them out. DA leaves, Gwendy leaves Nepo with one more food for thought ‘go on like this and you will end up more alone than the statue of independence.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #99, 6/20/2014
Part One
I did some combining of scenes.
El Refrito
- Mr. Policeman is told to keep out the OTHER guy that looks like the picture out.
- Brat cries to Alberto.
- Natalia tells Diego that she doesn't want Diego or Rod near her until she can tell the difference. She's so confused could hate or love Diego or Rodrigo equally.
Diego (like this recapper) doesn't understand how Natalia can consider him and Rod one and the same. Natalia feels like a trophy in the twins' game, but Diego swears he's never seen her as a trophy. The love each other! How can she be doing this? The only thing she knows is she's confused (and maybe a little dumb?)
Gino supervises Paolo's computer usage. Paolo realizes he's going to distract Gino if he's to discover anything. Paolo calls Mara and she comes running to tell Gino some machine or something is making an odd noise. Gino tells Paolo to take it, but Paolo makes some excuse about being in the middle of his computer business. Gino finally leaves and Paolo finds the deleted emails from the secret admirer, Cunchetina (C-tina.) One email asks Gino to meet at a hotel restaurant at 8. Paolo is distressed that his mom is being lied to.
Diego chooses a sporting metaphor (If you do this Rod "wins) and Nat is not happy about it. She doesn't want to be the plaything between Rod and Diego anymore and just wants them to leave her alone. Diego doesn't want her upset, so he agrees. He'll leave, but he's sad that Rod came between them. He leaves the fonda like a defeated dog and Rod, observing from the corner, thinks to himself that Nat must have kicked his bro to the curve. He muses that they are both tied in the Natalia Cup.
In Tuxpan, the slimy PI (Alejandro Rotundo) checks birth records.
Carmen and Natalia discuss the latest happenings. Natalia doesn't doubt she loves Diego; the problem is she can't tell the two of them apart. Rod could walk in right now and be sweet and kind and Nat would thinks it's Diego. It's driving Nat crazy. Carmen suggests that Nat talk to a professional.
Diego calls Alonso at his office. Alonso tells him to come on over. Irene calls soon after Alonso hangs up with Diego. He lets her know that Diego is upset after talking to Natalia and suggests that Irene come by his office as well. Irene heads over.

Weekend Discussion: Children and Secrets
In view of the recent trend in novelas to have children in the position of keeping secrets, I thought this an apt discussion point.
Lauro and Victoria had the secret of Alejandro being alive and he and Victor being in Aguazul (which has now been blown to pieces). Victoria still needs to keep the secret of the cell phone in Nadia's possession and we know that one won't last long. It won't necessarily be her fault, either, as the close of last night's episode wasn't about the kids.
I personally don't believe that children should be burdened with secrets of any kind. Children the ages of Victoria and Lauro aren't quite old enough to have a real grasp of the purpose of these secrets. During that scene at school recess I started wondering who would overhear them.
There is also the issue of keeping secrets from kids. If Lauro doesn't end up in a dangerous situation before this tale is over, what do you think Monserrat should do about what he doesn't yet know (Not that Alejandro should be left out of this decision but she knows him better due to the circumstances)? What sort -- if any -- of family secrets should be shared with kids? When? How?

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #118: 6/19/14: The King of the Porca Miseria!
We start with Vilma doing PI duty again and she's found Frida and Lupe. Does Ahole want her to follow them? Course he does, silly question, find Dona Mati, that is the goal.
Tizoc, Perla and Carm are leaving the karaoke place and Tizoc is still pithed over losing. Don Chuy comes and tells them what happened to MA. Carm hits Leo with her fan, and Vilma just happens by and sees them with Dona Mati.
Guendy is talking to Lupe on the phone. Lupe wants all the info she has especially about where MA is, the jail that is. Guendy spills that Nepo went to talk to Ahole. Sucks to be Nepo, the Banana King.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 157, Invalid Format, 19 June, 2014
Dear Friends:
I regret to report that I am unable to tell you what happened tonight on 'Robo, because my television is showing no picture and claiming to have an "invalid format". I do not know what this error message means, and, neither (apparently) do the Comcast phone technicians because after 70 minutes on the phone they sadly informed me, that although I am a very valued customer! they do not know what is wrong with their #$%%%^^&&&#@! cable box.
The nice lady from Comcast offers, "Perhaps someone can come and replace it, tomorrow, say between 12-2PM?"
That will be just ducky, I respond, but what about the adoring public out there, waiting to find out if Jose Luis shoots anyone important on 'Lo Que La Vida Me Robo'?
You, adoring public, are out of luck.
So, your faithful recapper begs your pardon and asks that, as a group, you tell ME just what happened in tonight's episode. Please post your notes in the comments.
I'll look forward to hosting a lively discussion on tonight's happenings tomorrow on the blog.
Is Mercury Retrograde or is it just me?
Hasta mañana,
Your grumpy amiga, Elna June

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #98, 6/19/2014
Labels: te-quiero
Qué Pobres, Wednesday 6/18 (#117):
But here's what I've got so far:
The Menchacas+ have found a place to serve them lunch by the beach. Tizoc's fresa girlfriend seems to at least have recognized that racism/colorism was at play, and then Leo pays the bill which makes everyone very happy!
Ana Sofia looks on with revulsion from a la-z-boy in the sand as Leo and the girl yuk it up and have fun with the Menchacas! This is the theme.
Everyone seems weirdly proud of Leo and Tizoc for riding an inflated tube of some sort. Oh wait, it's a competition, who can stay on top longer. Ana Sofia wagers money she doesn't have on who will win, but she gets the money anyway.

Lo refrito # 1: J-L tells Montse he knows she's hiding something from him, and it's her last chance to tell the truth.

Lo refrito # 4 Or Hell Hath No Fury Like María Scorned
José-Luis tells María he's not going to fall for her usual tricks, but she insists she isn't messing with him this time and wonders whether J-L is curious to know with whom his wife is at that very moment. J-L asks if it's who he thinks. María tells him to go and see for himself but advises him to hurry up before he misses the chance. He takes a gun and heads out.
"It's your fault, Alejandro, for rejecting me," María says to herself.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #97- Wed 6/18
Diego wants to go in to see Natalia, but Alberto tells him to back off…as lawyer, Alberto's the one she needs right now. Plus, Nat's pissed at him, sooo….
Vicente accuses Irene of going "against" the family because of her anger. Irene says it's not about taking sides, it's about justice. Plus, he can't be changing his mind every five minutes about whether Irene is "a Cacares" or not. Vicente tells Irene that he made Natalia an offer.
Natalia doesn't want to take Vicente's offer, which she tells Alberto about. He can tell they planned this out. Now that Nat knows that Rodrigo is locked up, she's really not going to take it back.
Vicente spins his deal as good for everyone, but Irene is horrified. "You know I'm capable of anything for my family!" Yeah, dude, she knows. You did it to her, too. Irene bursts his bubble--Diego already knows how Rodrigo ended up in a coma. Vicente threatens to disinherit Diego, because he missed the memo that the only one of his kids or grandkids that threat will work on is Rodrigo.
Alberto says there's practically no way to prove that Rod attacked Natalia. He never carried out the rape and she never reported it. If she gets Andres to show up and testify, he'll be arrested, too. She can't get out on bail. And since Rodrigo turned himself in and is trying to claim he's crazy…that's not helping either. And Irma has disappeared. Alberto actually advises Natalia to take Vicente's deal.
