Mi Corazón Es Tuyo Begins Tonight 8PM Eastern! ¡MCET Se Estrena Ésta Noche!
Thanks to Eli we seem now to have a full team, hopefully, but there is room for another part-time recapper on Thursdays to alternate with AdrianaNoel's night if the mood hits one of you. There is no right or wrong way to do a recap, so anyone with a hankering to give it a whirl, or anybody wanting to keep their hand in it, feel free to email with the appropiate icon below..... Otherwise, you can easily guess what my gmail address should be and/or Melinama's mapamundi address at the bottom of the sidebar.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #138 18 July 2014. The RP finally say goodbye to Menchaca manor. They get back home but with credit limits / budgets. Plus 2 pregnancy tests, one positive.. whose 'prize' is it anyway?
At Salomon’s, AS and Leo are there. She wants all her stuff back. She will pay him every cent. Salomon asks if this is the ‘dia de los inocentes’ (april fools day?) he will find boxes and newspapers to wrap her ‘trickets’ in LOL! Leo wants to excuse himself, but she won’t let him go. She says you will have time to say goodbye to your cheeky friend. (Cacheton) AS says Leo should go back to school in NY.
Saul and MA at fonda. MA tells Saul he will continue pursuing the juices business, but he will NEVER go back to the Editorial business. Leo comes in. wants MA to go get Frida, she is crying in bathroom, according to Leo she will be missing La Nopalera. She is in bathroom checking her pregnancy test. (was that positive? I missed it.)
At kitchen, AS, as a grateful gesture, wants to leave Carm and Lupe her culinary recipes book/scrapbook. Beef Stroganoff, minestrone, tortellinis (love the way Carm pronounced it as ‘y’). AS recommends they use cognac to elevate the taste of dishes. Use the best ingredients always. Chuy thanks her for all the advice. Lupe also thanks her. AS repeats that it is an act of charity now that she is leaving. AS says later will send someone to pick up their belongings.
It is Lupe’s turn to lock herself in bathroom to use a pregnancy test.
At fonda, Chuy is saying farewell to AS and Leo. Leo says thank you very much, good luck and ‘todo cool’. Perla is happy to see them go. MA says even through all we got through, all these months have been the best part of his life. MA says will be watching for them. Chuy says thanks but better keep your distance. MA wants them to know they can count on him for ANYTHING. One last ‘sunshine’ sharing embrace. MA whispers to Carm that he is leaving, thank you for all the support. She will not stop trying to vow for him with Lupita. AS has waited enough, urges MA to wrap it up. Finally will say goodbye to La Nopalera. Arrivederci!!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #136/137- Friday 7/18
WARNING: Tonight's episode was a masterpiece of apropos of nothing. It was all over the place and I find those kinds of episodes difficult to focus on.
The First Hour
Was really, really slow.
- Rodrigo tried to make a transfer to his Cayman Island account. He gets the blue screen of death mid transaction. He confirms with the bank that the transaction was completed and takes the laptop to the IT guy.
- A drugged Eleazar sings and tells Carmen he wants to make a baby with her. She calls the doctor. When Eleazar wakes up from the injection the doctor gave him, he tells Carmen he and Kimberly are kaput. Carmen tells him to come see her and act just like he did while on drugs. We are subjected to time wasting scenes in which Alonso tries to hypnotize El so he can remember what he did under the influence.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #134/135- Wednesday 7/16
In the morning over breakfast, Nat and Carmen don’t really discuss what happened the night before but do talk about alt-Angie or the character formerly known as Angela (as I won’t accept what the writers have done). Mally and Abdul join them and Carmen offers her alt-Angie’s job.
Carmen calls El and Kimmy answers, Carmen’s ticked.
Rod throws the wrench away and Big Al appears.
Nat arrives at the hospital and tells Irene she and Diego are over (but we all know its only for now).

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó #176, 7/16/14: Adolfo proposes; Pedro disposes--or at least tries a few things to exact vengeance.
Red Sky at Morning, Melodrama Warning! |
For us in Viewerville it's been mere 24 hours since the events of Capitulo 175, but for our friends in that anomaly of space-time that is Agua Azul, México, a whole year has passed since just last night! During that year, some of them seem to have been given a reprieve from the drama and had a much-deserved spate of fairly ordinary life off-screen; others have continued on their various downward spirals. But it looks like the storm clouds of crazy are gathering and our Aguazuleños are now worthy of filming again. Let's check in on as many of them as we can:
In Her Beautiful House by the Sea
Still beautiful Montserrat is sitting in the living room with her adorable and well-behaved children, Laurito and Romina. We learn that Romina has just begun to walk and that if Laurito were a US citizen he would be a firm supporter of Title IX as he is impatient to be able to play fútbol with her. The doorbell rings. In bursts José-Luis still sporting his sport coat and bright T-shirt look, eager to see his little girl. It's worth noting that she begins crying as soon as he takes her from Montserrat.
Very savvy toddler who knows a Galán B when she sees one |

Lo Que la Vida me Robo 175 07/15/2014: Look at what I can do with this gun ma'
A new baby has been born, sadly her daddy is a nut job:
At the hacienda everyone rejoices at the birth of a new baby, both baby and mother are healthy and plans are made for both to make a trip back to Agua Azul for a check up. Alejandro Almonte, who is beautiful-but sadly not very bright, tries to reassure his wife by telling her that he will accept the baby as if she were his own, heck, he even says that although it is not possible he would love for the baby to be named Alejandra.
Jose Luis, the baby daddy just happens to walk in right at the moment and he is not a happy camper, he goes off on Alejandro and Montserrat asking them what's wrong with them, how dare they try and name the baby without his input? She is his daughter and he will name her! I kinda want to suggest that they toss a coin and whoever wins gets to name her, problem solved!

Que Pobres tan Ricos Tuesday July 15: Tizoc and Emiliano are insufferable.
- Carmela told Mike she'd try to talk Lupita around, and she's good to her word...
... but first Lupita has to faint, then tell everybody she's fine and she'll get checked out later. Chuy is worried. Perla says thoughtfully, "and she isn't even taking anything... uh, vitamins I mean" ...

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #132/133- Tuesday 7/15
The following recap has been composed under extreme emotional distress. It will be out of order and in my usual squirrely way.
I still think they are editing the parts where everyone drops acid or smokes crack or otherwise suffers some psychotic break. I have no other explanation for the absolutely out-of-chartacter actions I witnessed tonight.
The Investigation
The writers have decided we need a dose of realism. Morales is doing the investigation thing and questioning Hilda. Tiburcio sits in the background and makes moaning sounds. Hilda lets Morales search the garden. Vicente receives a call from his friend Rodolfo the procurador. Morales is *thisclose* to finding the wrench when Vicente throws him off the property for searching without a warrant.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #130/131- Mon 7/14
Brigitte is relieved to hear from Alonso that Alberto visited Rodrigo, but things didn't seem to "get very far" between them. She wants him to call Al's parents, but Alonso doesn't want to worry them if he doesn't need to. Brigitte decides she doesn't want to wait alone and calls Carmen, but Carmen is busy waiting for Natalia to come home. "Natalia, Natalia, Natalia!" whines Brigitte yet again. Hey, there you are, Brat…wondered where you'd gotten to! Carmen says Natalia's had a rough day, what with finding out who her "real" parents are. Brigitte and Lupita are both surprised to hear this.
Lupita goes to tell Paolo and drags him out to the living room so they can interrogate Carmen.
Carmen tells Brigitte who Natalia's parents are. Brigitte says "Why's she upset, then? This is like winning the lottery!" Carmen gets tired of Brat's attitude, so Brat gives her some more, saying of course she's having a worse day that Nat. Lupita wonders how Tad is Nat's father if he didn't, um, have anything to do with Carmen. Carmen gives them the deets. Paolo figures Tad and Irene must be thrilled to have found her.
Padre Juancho finishes giving her the story and apologizes on behalf of…pretty much everybody who knew…for not being able to find the right time to tell her. PJ suggests she be thankful for having 3 awesome parents and just treat Irene with the same affection she always has.
Carmen keeps telling Paolo and Lupita about the great Telling Nat debacle. Irene shows up and Paolo and Lupita welcome Irene to the family. PJ calls Carmen and tells her Nat listened to his explanations and seemed calmer.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of July 14, 2014
Even though a lot of people are watching and commenting, no one, as yet, has volunteered to recap on a regular basis. Mauricio and Sara stepped up to help in the first week, and I did a couple of minicaps too. For week two, I've agreed to write a brief summary of Monday's episode; Sara has volunteered to recap Wednesday and Friday.
Is anyone interested in writing a brief recap of Tuesday's or Thursday's episode this week?
Is anyone interested in recapping this one regularly?
Folks, if no one volunteers, we'll just have comments. It's up to you!
Have a wonderful week!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of July 14, 2014
While it was kind of nice to have our conversations crossing each other and for us to read over each other's shoulders on one page, at a certain point it becomes unwieldy. It began to feel as if Cielos and En Otra Piel were being drowned out.
So this is the new page for Cielos, En Otra Piel and any other Telemundo or Unimás show you feel like discussing.
Reina de Corazones comments and mini-recaps will be on a separate page.
Have a great week!

Que Pobres tan Ricos #134 A-hole sues Chuy about the Menchaca house. Emiliano continues to act A-holish. Saul tries to get MA to retake his old richy rich life... Chuy's mystery is revealed!! MAAAATIII!! MAAAATIII!!!
Lupe tells A-hole she’s not afraid of him. He asks if she will bring a wrestler to fight him. Lupe says she is enough on her own to fight with nails and teeth for her son. A-hole changes strategy and gets pleading, asks her to come be a family with him and Emiliano. Lupe is confused at his change of statement. A-hole tries to convince her that she is and will always be the most important for Emiliano. You have nothing to lose.
MA yelling at the staff at the senior center. The manager says he was given paperwork for the woman as Matilde widow of RP… MA is still outraged.
Saul is more calm and asks them who brought Mati in. Was it ARP? Nurse says ARP sent Mati, but the one that brought her was a nurse that used to work for us(the senior home) but quit recently.
Now A-hole is trying to make Lupe believe that she is unstable temper-wise… A-hole reminds Lupe that the school director is witness to Lupe losing her cool in front of Emiliano. (come on Lupe! Wake up and smell the rat!!) Emiliano comes over and is all lovey-dovey with A-hole. Lupe is just frozen there… she even lets Emiliano go alone with A-hole.(she is THAT shocked... about how well these two get together?).
At Fonda, AS is still whinning with herself about having come back to live in the 'cuchitril'. Leo and Frida outside the penthouse door are coaching each other to calm down before they walk in. Leo gives AS two options… we either 1) stay here or 2) we go to the shelter of the indigents(basically homeless shelter).
AS wants booze. Leo and Frida won’t give her any. Leo takes DaVinci on his arm and asks AS to breathe. AS takes DaVinci back and tells DaVinci that he is the only one that understands her. (I missed the detail that Leo told DaVinci that he needed to raise his hand/leg to speak LOL! thanks forum friends!)
MA and Saul out on the street, MA is really ansi, he has to find out NOW where abuela is.
At Fonda, Chuy does not like seeing Lupe so down in spirits. Lupe says lets talk about the finances… we have a lot of expenses and have to figure out where to get more moolah. She tells Tizoc he needs to go get a job and help out. Tizoc says he is only good for ‘the cantata’. Emiliano comes down. Lupe asks him what is up. Emiliano says ‘I am fed up with eating the same thing every day. Can’t we eat something different?’ Lupe is not liking at all seeing Emiliano talk like this, so asks him 'what do you prefer? To eat or not to eat?'

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 172 - 10 July, 2014 - Stuck On Replay: Another Of Maria’s Plots Bites The Dust
It Looks Like Jose Luis Will Allow Montserrat To Leave—Maybe
Jose Luis wants to know if Montserrat would forgive a betrayal from Alejandro. Whatever happens, he will be there waiting. Montserrat goes to pack her bags. Tomorrow she will leave the house.
I’ll Just Take The Houses and Lands; Thanks
Over at the judge’s chambers, Father Anselmo, the judge and Alejandro meet. The judge tells Padre that he trusts him completely but his declaration is too late. Father Anselmo emphatically retorts that it is never late to correct an injustice. But the judge clarifies that the tests run on the document prove forever and anon that Alejandro is the only true heir of Benjamin Almonte. Padre’s declaration does not clear Alejandro because he is already proven to be the rightful Almonte heir. As of this moment he has recovered his name, Alejandro Almonte Dominguez and all that goes with it. Congratulations!
Father Anselmo praises God for being very just. Despite all that has happened nothing has dimmed his faith. Padre encourages Alejandro and hopes he has learned from his previous errors.
Alejandro tells the Father that he is very fortunate. Not only is he recovering his name, but he is also recovering his family.
The Judge tells them that his decision is absolutely irrevocable but that it might take a while for Alejandro to recover everything. But Alejandro is way ahead of everyone else. He says that Fabiola has transferred ALL of the money to another person. He doesn’t want a penny of the money anyway. Anselmo is appalled by yet another miscarriage of justice, and he asks,
“Who ended up with the money?”
“Graciela Mendoza,” answers Alejandro.
The Judge recognizes her name as the woman who formerly perjured herself in the matter of Don Benjamin’s will. Padre Anselmo wants to know – How did that happen?
