Lovers’ Games, Courtship & Heartbreak
Nat enjoys the flashmob of her neighbors line dancing to a
song about forgiveness, but her smile doesn’t turn upside down until the man
asking for forgiveness actually appears with a bouquet of red roses. She once
again says she can’t forgive him, and this time flashes her engagement ring for
emphasis and informs Diego of her new commitment to Andrés.
Diego and Al return to Bro Central where Diego pouts, while
admiring his new YouTube video, and Al tells him Nat’s reaction is not unusual
considering what Diego did to her, and perhaps it’s time to move on. Simona
calls, Diego heads to her office to talk business, and then she invites him to
a photography art show. Diego picks her up at her fancy apartment, interrupting
her 100th viewing of his YouTube video, and while she makes martinis he wonders
if she could be the nail that drives out the other nail (clavo que saca otro
clavo).

Breaking News! We now know who has been helping Pedro Medina! Lo que la vida me robo #!80 07/23/2014
Sorry for the late post, this is my 2nd recap in as many days and I fell asleep while working on it, my apologies!
Maria continued with her crazy rant (still pretending to be Montserrat): "I love you so much Alejandro but you have to understand me, Jose Luis is very important to me..."- Alejandro begged her to stop, but like the Energizer Bunny she just kept going and going- "No, I know this is all my fault for loving two men, sometimes I think you would have been happier with Maria, she never shared her heart with anyone and to her you were the only thing that mattered, you were the only thing she lived for. That's why I understand the things she does to hurt me, I took away your love from her, I don't blame her for the things she does, really I don't, like what she did to my truck...I deserved it for being a slut", 'You did that?!" exclaims Alejandro as he calls for the guard- "No, Maria did it!", Alejandro continues to call for help but no one shows up, "anyway I just came to tell you that I love you and I'll be sure to give the kids a kiss when I get home". Alejandro tells her to stay away from his kids as she walks away-the guards never came.

The pokey:
When we left off last night Maria was paying a visit to our always beautiful Alejandro, who was sitting in jail for assaulting a police officer, she was dressed as Alejandro's wife but while that was disturbing enough things got worse-way worse when Maria started to pretend to be Montserrat, Alejandro stood in the tiny jail cell- the look on his face said it all, he finally seemed to understand that Maria, his childhood friend and companion had lost her sh*t.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #3, July 23, 2014... Ana wins over most of the kids, Fanny discovers her secret and Ana leaves... But the resignation is short lived
Refritos: Ana leaves kitchen with the plate of walnut cookies, and gets the paint on her head.
She takes a deep breath to restrain herself from hurting Fanny. Ana leaves, the kids join hands.
Ana deals with the mouse in her shower. Very bravely she grabs it by tail and tosses it out the window.
Kids are trying to listen out the door but Ana doesn’t come out. Fanny has another prank in her list.
Ana showers all the paint off… ‘why does this happen to me???’
Fanny closes the hot water down in the basement. Ana starts shaking because the water gets cold.
Bruno catches the kids down in the basement. Cecilia comes up with the story that Sebastian needs a shower for his body odor. Bruno sends everyone upstairs.
Ana comes out of the shower. She confronts the kids in the halway ‘why? I did not do anything to you! / we promised we would make your time here miserable! / know something? He who gets angry loses… (Ana goes back in the bedroom) … I am strong!! Yes I can!! (Si se puede!!) … Jennifer calls Ana… ‘these kids are… a bit difficult… they covered me in green paint… /are they beasts? / … one notch higher… I will make these kids pay… even if it’s the last thing I do.
Fanny asks Ana why she has not left… (Ana is dressed back in her black sleeveless zippered dress. ) ‘Not all of us were lucky to be born in a palace… I might not be the most educated, but I am capable and persistent… and I will stay here for a long time!...’
All kids look at each other… Seems Nando and Luz are the ones least in agreement with the pranks.
Lo Nuevo:
Next prank, seems they are putting some kind of powder in Ana’s bed… with remote controls?... ah, there is a camera on the car…
Ana is sleeping, starts scratching like crazy… the twin boys are laughing. Ana runs out of her room and spots the twins… the car is recording her in the halway. Ana runs after the boys. Ana trips on the car and stumbles down the stairs. She ends up unconscious so the boys get scared, run down, and scream that she is dead… Bruno comes out. Bruno checks and is relieved that she is breathing… Nando comes down mad, asks the twins ‘what did you do to her??’ the boys reply ‘It was an accident!!’

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #140 - Wednesday 7/23
De que odio a los escritores, odiar a los escritores
Tonight’s theme is actually borrowed from our wonderful recapper Sara. The writers continue to vex me but I’m trying to keep things positive. So, I’m chanting how I hate them throughout the recap. Forgive me from the outset if this vexes you but it did make me feel a bit better based on the wrong choices these scribes keep making.
Carmen has to comfort Brat, who is depressed because her father didn’t visit her and has left the country. Since she’s more upset about her potential meal ticket than actual interaction with her father, its hard to have sympathy for her. Carmen allows Brat to miss her brother’s wedding.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 179, Tues 7/22/14: You can never find a forensic psychiatrist when you need one.
We have known three police chiefs in our time in Aguazul -- Loreto, Basurto and Álvarez -- and all have abused their power. But the present officer-holder may be the most loathsome of the bunch. Here he is, just happening to stroll by as Montserrat comes out of the church and sees that her van has been trashed, smashed and slashed. The windows are shattered, the tires are flat and the word ZORRA is painted in large black letters on its side.
¡Qué barbaridad¡ says Chief Álvarez. "What an outrage!" (But his smug expression belies his words.) He'll have his men investigate the incident, he says.
Montserrat isn't fooled. She knows very well that he's responsible, and that it's no coincidence that he is there to enjoy her reaction. (And he is enjoying himself. He looks like a dog sniffing around its own steaming excrement.)

Qué Pobres, Lunes 7/21/14 (#139): I Wasn't Expecting the Spanish Inquisition
Frida's pregnancy test results are not explicitly revealed, but the look on her face tells us that she is not pleased. After giving Frida a moment to herself on the bench, the nurse approaches with some pamphlets and says that it doesn't look as though Frida's happy. Frida says she's not sure. (First she ate chicken soup, and now she's killed a rabbit! What's next for this lapsed vegetarian?)
AS and MA sit at opposite ends of a very long dinner table. Leo is sitting somewhere in the middle (symbolism much?). Despite the fact that they never used to eat meals together in the before-time, AS is annoyed that Frida is very late. In fact, Frida finally comes home, says it was a long day planning a protest against some kind of genetic engineering or something, and is going straight to bed. Leo decides to take his dinner to his room, too. That leaves MA and AS alone to chat with one another, or so you'd think.
Emi has apparently eaten all he's going to eat tonight, so Lupe sends him to bed. (He has to be reminded to take his plate.) Actually this is more about getting him out of the room so that Lupe and Chuy can confront Tizoc about the positive pregnancy test that wasn't Lupe's or Perla's. Tizoc is very defensive: "What is this, the Inquisition?"
Vilma calls Ahole and demands to see him tomorrow. He doesn't want to go, but she insists. He makes a big deal of having to rearrange his schedule to accommodate her, and jokes that her own schedule is so open lately.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #138 - Mon 7/21
De que se volvió viral, volvió viral
Diego visits the Cacares House of Horrors to tell Lala (not Hilda) about his plans to help Tiburcio recover, so he can tell everyone what he knows about Alberto's murder. Lala will be in charge of administering the medication.
Carmen sits Mally down at the fonda to talk to her about the upcoming nuptials and give Mally her blessing.
Lala makes an unnecessary grocery list to get Hilda out of the house. As Hilda points out, there's plenty of food for the few people left.
Luz comes to the fonda to catch up with Carmen. And, more importantly, find out if Carmen is going to jump into Paul the Mushroom Man's arms. Hell no! says Carmen. She happily tells Luz about Abdul's upcoming wedding and they joke that she really needs to change the name of a certain crab dish on the fonda's menu.
Eleazar enlists Lupita to help him figure out what he said the day he was drugged out of his mind. La Detective Lupita is on the case!

get his old friend to talk to him alone.
“Tell
me, José Luis, what do you know about Pedro Medina?”
“I

out of patience.
“Very
well, as you wish. How sad it is that you are no longer the same

He

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?
Refrito: Lupe ‘telling’ MA this will be last time I have to see you.
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!!

- 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.

Pobres 7/16: EmiliAhole
The little twerp is now in full EmiliAhole mode. He's unrepentant for being a dick and saying awful things. Tizoc and Chuy look on in dismay.
Ana Sofia gives Leo some crap about the plebian juice business and asks for cash for a cab. She claims all the money he's given her has gone to the loan shark who helped pay for the wedding. Leo: don't remind me of that humiluqui momento de mi viduqi! But he gives her the cash.
Cute scene w/ Minerva and her mom trying to confront Ahole as he plays with his corn dog.
Ana Sofia shows up at Mini's place, looking for Ahole. The ladies mock her. Barbs are traded. She gets through to talk to Alejo, who confirms that Mike has his money back. More barbs.
Guendy flirts w/ Saul hardcore. She calls him Whitey. They wind up making out and leave the bar together.
Sadly, Don Chuy has been brought to tears by the cruelties of his grandson. He reminisces on the most painful defeats of his wrestling career, none of which hurt as much as this. Aww I really, really hope we see the kid get some comeuppance in this show.
Returning from her fact-finding mission, Ana Sofia hops out of her cab and refuses to pay for it. Yet again, Diego winds up paying. Leo and Frida have been worried sick - where have you been, mom? Drinking? AA meeting? She says, don't even speak to me of AA. I've been so anxious I'm liable to drink my parisian perfumes.
Doña Matty wants Chuy to infiltrate her former office and retrieve a phone that has contact info of a sympathetic doctor Miranda who could help get her out from under Ahole's conservatorship.
Mike calls Lupe. "I know you don't believe me [because you saw me naked in bed with my ex]... many would feel the same in your shoes." Understatement?
Yes, Frida is obviously pregnant. Because in the world of trope-y tv no one who isn't pregnant ever eats a midnight snack.
Lupe learns that Tizoc not only got his record deal as a result of dealing with the devil (Ahole), but also signed the contract without reading it. Menso.
Ana Sofia, armed with her new knowledge, goes on a binge-y shopping spree, possibly drunk too. That fur coat and hat are really going to be practical, am I right? Anyway, she declares that she won't be paying. The shopkeepers can call the cops or just make her son pay for them. I'm pretty sure any ritzy establishment knows better than to make deals like this. But the dummies go for it.
Mike comes rushing to the scene to find his infantile mom in the shop with some cops. She throws a tantrum when he refuses to pay, claiming he doesn't have the money. She starts tearing and stomping on the expensive stuff when he suggests she return it. He breaks down and pays only when the police get out the handcuffs. Later, at home, she tells the fam about the money.
Ahole is a menacing, abusive dick to his employee who merely asked him if she should let Lupe in. From now on, anyone in that family can get in without asking (convenient for later). Lupe comes in, tells him to leave her family alone, and he reveals his plan: marry me or I'll ruin your family. I've got Mike, Tizoc, your son, your sister, practically everybody by the balls. How romantic!
Meanwhile, Don Chuy gets a freebie on his infiltration of the office because the receptionist has just been ordered to let Lupe's family in without question, but he first stops by to eavesdrop on Ahole's blackmail. Enraged, he goes full Luchador and beats the crap out of the bastard. Unfortunately, this means that Ahole now has Don Chuy by the balls, too.
