Mi Corazón Es Tuyo, Tuesday August 5. Wrong Kind of Fire, Fernando.
Skipping the repeats:
Via telephone: Fanny and León Exchange sweet nothings while León irons jeans. He gets so caught up in the flirtation that he leaves the iron sitting there. If he scorched a hole in his britches, it would serve him right for ironing jeans, the adorable weirdo. Fortunately, he also seems to have forgotten to turn the iron on, so no harm is done.
Next morning, garden: Nicolás does tai chi (aka chai chi) with Luz, Guille, and Alex. They all have special outfits for this. FF>>
Now it’s evening again. Sala: Fernando is all giddy because Lolana has agreed to see him. Nic wishes him luck.
Casa Johnny: Fer arrives and is greeted by a VERY slinky seductress in long curly hair, a painted-on skimpy red dress, and a mask. Fer and Fauxlana slither all over each other, Fer nearly drooling, until he gets her to take off the mask. He tries to hide his reaction, but you can nearly hear the downer slide whistle. So much for that little crush. He asks her about the whole Italiana bit and she says that’s just an act to entice her prey.
Anyhoodle, menos blablabla y mas glug glug glug, she says, going to pour some drinks. Suddenly he remembers he needs to leave. She gives him a hard time, gropes him a bit more, and blocks the door, but he makes his escape. Ana, Jen, and Johnny come out of hiding in the bedroom and they all have a good laugh…then Ana looks sad at not getting to seduce Fer for real.

Que pobres tan ricos Tuesday 8/5 (#150) - we find out Rita's secret.
Alejo sort of promises Mati he'll get his lawyer right on that divorce thing, but that he wants to be with his son. Mati says she will allow him to try to convince Lupe (this seemed very bogus to me).
As somebody guessed, when Minerva does the big reveal of the next magazine cover, the model is her own mother! The grandsons share a united moment of flabbergasted astonishment. All say it's a risky idea but she's confident it will be a big hit. Mati likes it so MA gets on board.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/4/14 (#149): Fear of the Unknown
Reruns from Friday: Tizoc and Frida "agree" that they aren't in love because they don't think of one another all day long, and Frida doesn't tell him about the pregnancy. Ana Sofia's swell friends bid bitchy goodbyes and say they'll be in touch. Ana Sofia complains to MA that Mati's dinner with the Menchacas interfered with her own plans to worm her way back into the good graces of the buena gente.
MA has already heard Mati's side of the story. Mati didn't know AS was planning a party that same evening, and it's Mati's home too. She has every right to invite people over. As for friendship, well, the Menchacas certainly are their friends; they helped them out when the swell friends didn't. As usual, his words go in AS's one ear and out the other; she hopes never to see the Menchacas again.
In La Nopalera, the Menchacas assess the damage to the fonda. The kitchen and dining area are thoroughly trashed; even the walls have been vandalized. But the rooms upstairs appear to be untouched, and nothing seems to be missing. Lupe mentions that she learned her lesson when the 300,000 pesos were stolen, and now all their cash is safe in a bank account.
But Rita's not home.
And Ahole is on the phone with an unidentified person who has confirmed that the job is done.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #148 - Mon 8/4
All the best clandestine operation planning happens in mall cafés. Which is why Morales, Diego, and Rosa meet there to discuss The Case of Rotten Rod.
Toño makes a brief appearance to help Carmen bring some groceries into the fonda and let her know that El left her a present. It's a puzzle. El texts her to say when she puts it together, she'll know what he's trying to say.
Morales explains that they're having particular difficulty busting Rod because Rod has the authority to move money in and out of the company. An audit would help. Morales brings up the payment to the shady shrink. Diego gets curious about the drugs when he hears that and calls Alonso away from Tad's deathbed to talk about it.
Tad reiterates his plea, but Alonso says he can't promise anything, especially because he doesn't know how Irene feels. "Just because you're gone doesn't mean her love for you is just going to go away!" Well said, Al! Tad just keeps pleading for Al is not to leave Irene alone. The lady in question comes in without hearing anything. Al takes his leave and Tad starts 'splaining.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of August 4 - Page One
So strap on those beanies and let's get back to the silliness, the mystery and mayhem that is Reina. We still have an opening for a recapper on Tuesdays if anyone wants to give that a try. It's fun.
For the truly obsessed, I have compiled the first four weeks of Reina recaps (not including the comments or corrections ) into 4 Word documents, one for each week, and put them in a public folder in Dropbox. It is very time consuming to try and search the recaps in Caray. You should be able to download the documents by following these links:
Week 1:

Mi Corazón #10 -- Hash tag# Golddiggers Aren't Always Golddiggers Unless They Are!
Viewerville revisits Ana’s unfortunate witnessing of the argument between Don Fernando and Don Nicolas over the wisdom-- or rather the lack there of—in Don Nico’s frequenting such quintessentially depraved nightspots as El Chicago and, his potentially picking some Latin American clone of Ana Nicole Smith to be the next Sra. Lascurain. Ana learns DonFer’s aversion to and loathing of loose women in shady nightclubs who fool men into marrying them for their money. She might as well forget ever telling Don Decencia the truth about her “other life”.
As for Fanny, she and Leon have motor-scootered over to the other side of the tracks to enjoy the heretofore unknown epicurean delight of such common fare as the taco. Once back at the college’s parking lot Leon offers her the pencil drawing of her he did; mentions his lifelong dream to become a successful illustrator; and confesses that he thinks she’s the prettiest girl he’s ever known and that he realllllly realllly likes her a lot—all of which makes Fanny’s day, natch.

Qué Pobres, Friday 8/1/14 (#148): Ana Sofia's No-Class Reunion
The papers are signed. Don Chuy is finally the official owner of the house that's already been rightfully his for a long time. There is much rejoicing. Mati invites them all to dinner at the RP house. Chuy doesn't really want to go, but Mati indicates that she'll be offended if he doesn't. MA says he'll even stay away so that it won't be too uncomfortable for everyone!
Prince Emiliano finally makes his appearance. He greets Mati happily, but snubs MA. "High-fiving is for babies!" (Earworm: "Don't Gimme No Lip Child" classic version or loud. I chose the latter video over better ones because it's subtitled in Spanish!)
Meanwhile, at the art gallery, Ana Sofia is inviting her "friends" to dinner at her place too. I keep thinking she's got something up her sleeve, but sadly, it's only an arm.
Oh boy! It'll be like Leo's wedding all over again! (Minus the guests of honor!)

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #147 Friday 8/1/14
Yes, it's true. Tad's cancer is back and he's decided not to continue any treatment. He wants his final days to be spent being happy with Irene and Natalia. The man is so noble he even apologizes for not being able to follow through on the trip to Paris. Irene and Natalia cry a lot. I am frustrated that the one noble and consistent character is leaving us. Diego also comes to the hospital. He and Nat are somewhat civil to each other. She hugs him and he is very supportive. Irene comments on the emotion in Nat's hug.
Tad asks Diego to pass a message on to Alonso. Tad wants to see him. Alonso obliges. Tad wants him to take care of Irene. (eeek. How could I forget the end so quickly? Definitely fill this in for me.)
Vicente continues to look pitiful and meek. He's also very confused and not all there. His lucidity comes and goes. He wants Hilda to bring him enchiladas (which just tickled me for some reason. I'm going to hell.)
Diego comes to visit Vicente. After hearing about Vicente's condition, he remembers how he was kept in a coma and drugged. He starts making connections. Rosa tells Diego about Rodrigo embezzling funds.
Rodrigo talks with the hired Doc about detoxing Vicente so no one will realize his confused state is due to the drugs. The detox could take a month. If they do it too fast it could be dangerous. I really didn't follow this conversation very well, so I appreciate any help.
Brigitte and Paul reconcile. Sort of. He wants to know who the baby daddy is and Brigitte balks. Paul makes it clear that he won't be bankrolling Brigitte. True affection or nada.
Paul and Carmen share memories of good times. Eleazar comes in and acts a little jealous and macho. Not horribly so, but it's clear he's bothered by Paul. After Paul leaves Carmen tells Eleazar he's worrying her and his mother with is mood swings and jealousy. He needs to take a chill pill.
Brigitte tries to get her job back at Caprico. Ha ha. They won't let her come back. I guess there are no buttons left to count.
Ugh. Sorry guys. I'm sure there's a lot missing.
OH!
Avances
Nat finds the wig and slaps the snot out of Brigitte!!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 186, July 31, 2014—Maria Loses Her Head
Robo has dealt out dreck with a liberal hand,
And bade us sit down and enjoy it:
We could not but own that the protags look grand,
Personal trainers keep them SO fit.
But give TOO long a story and Televisa chances
That viewers with plus-100 IQ
Will stop coming by, giving glances
To see if Ale sports a new shade of BLUE.
Tonight’s actions are few, but they don’t lack import
Hang with the recap—tonight will conclude
Maria’s murder attempts; they keep falling short
Except for Sandro, the much ballyhooed
Blackhaired, handsomest villain.
As we start out, Refugio gets news
The scoop on Emeralda’s new beau
Erik is not the man Refu would choose
Refu sees him as a foe.

It's okay but Granny has her back, she'll support Frida in anything she decides, now what about Tizoc. Frida says no one knows, especially Tizoc. Granny wants Frida to tell him, it's only right. Frida feels Tizoc is not ready for a girlfriend much less a bebe.
AS is tasting salsas and is unhappy with what she is tasting, oh, how she misses Carmelita's salsas, wow, who knew! Leo comes in and wants to go on a vacay to New York and she'd like to come with, but Leo wants to go alone.

De Que Te Queiro, Te Quiero #146, July 31, 2014
MM gets ready to return to France after ditching Brat because of her pregnancy. He actually says there is nothing to tie him to Mexico so he can leave now. Wow, that’s icky.
Grumps continues to question why Hilda and Mr. T left and slowly comes to the conclusion it must be Rod’s fault. Rosa arrives and hopefully these two will escape now. Unfortunately, their future looks bleak because Rosa is about to give Grumps the Demon (Rod) tampered meds.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos 146, wednesday
Oh, some good news! Mike is w/ Doña Matti at the hospital and the doctor (and his colleagues, he is quick to point out) has done some tests and found her to be quite healthy. But he wants to do more tests, of course. Aww, she talks about how grateful she is of the help Chuy and Carmen gave her. Kindness is the greatest gift, etc...
Matti remains extremely calm, but is insistent that she will forgive Ahole. Mike protests a bit. She has an interesting stance - he'll always be my grandson and he needs to know that. She's grateful to him for sticking w/ Aureliano through everything. All she wants is to end the resentments. While explaining, she also mentions what may be the strategy with Ahole - keep your enemies close! Also, she doesn't know what kind of atrocities Ahole might sink to if even his grannie denounces him.
I don't know what the foundation is, but AS is at a pool giving a ton of money to some women (and also being mean and vain about the money that "God gave her." They still mock her for her disasters. When she leaves they all talk about her - she has returned to society more insufferable than ever! Now she's a terrible combination of Mother Teresa and Lady Di[iana?]. The ringleader has a wicked alternative plan for the thousands of dollars they just got from AS.
Oh yay, Tizoc's still in trouble! But unfortunately, it's not for being a turdbag. The agent just wants him to talk like a fresa.
At the mall, the twerp picks video games while Lupe attempts to have it out with Ahole. The vile child realizes they're fighting and runs up to talk about how great his dad is. Ahole: well, we can't fight in front of the kid. It's his new weapon - let's spend happy family time! Barf.
You have to learn that being a fresa is a way of life, of being a condescending dick. Fortunately it comes naturally to Tizoc.
Wendy is still talking about that mysterious woman from yesterday. She still wants to hire her. And GASP! The banana king is still married to the mother of his son!
Aaaaand AS is now transferring a ton of money to her personal account on the apparent cart-blanche authorization of her son Mike. Oops, how'd he fall for that one? Oh, she forged it. She has a moment with her dog.
Mati is surprised to see Frida still eating with the Menchaca. She notices that the girl is even paler than usual. Grandmotherly advice-dispencing mode, ACTIVATE! Oh dear lord could they go more overboard on the pregnancy cliches? She's putting all sorts of weird toppings on her food.
Haha look at Don Chuy playing the video game after EmiliAhole gets sent to bed! At bedtime though, the turd-twerp wants to live with his Dad. She says no and he pouts.
Doña Mati puts a plan into action - she takes the chofer to go buy some street tacos, all greasy and meaty and intense, and shoves them under Frida's nose. Predictably, the girl runs and vomits, and Matti gives the camera a knowing look, like this was some devious abuela-trick to get verification of pregnancy.
Tomorrow, at the office, Matti is planning to bring her grandsons together in her office. Also she reveals to Mike that he was always Aureliano's favorite, but the man never showed it because of some grand plan to toughen him up and prepare him for leadership or some nonsense. She says that everything the old man did to make Mike angry was completely planned and calculated! Flashback time! Grandpa wanted to make sure Mike was comfortable and strong and capable of holding his head high and succeeding on his own, not relying on a rich dad. Now it's time for the meeting... Abuelita power!
She makes the boys sit side by side. Closer, closer. Once Alejo is sufficiently uncomfortable, she announces that she is planning to resign as president. Aaaaand giving the presidency to Mike! Bomb drop! Oh cute, she makes Ahole vice-president! That'll be fun!
The new girl comes back to Guendy's. Her name is Rita, and Guendy got so excited about her that she left a customer sitting in a chair.
The boys start fighting and superabuelita shuts 'em up! I love her being tough like this!
Thus far, it seems like Leo has been oblivious to how awful his rich friends are, but it finally gets to him. I like that.
What's the one thing she wants Alejo to do. It's very mysterious and important, and she gives him a week.
Aww, poor Frida is worried and pregnant and she looks on TV and sees Tizoc being a dick in an interview and not acknowledging her!
Ha! Ahole has no one to take his worries to but Mini and Minimom. He basically is just taking out his rage on them but they get him back! He gets a call from Wilma, who's so mad that he's left her to rot. At first he's mean, but she says something (that I miss) that gets him to race down to jail to see her. Ok, they're now accusing her of killing Girón. She says he needs to confess to the murder or else.
Granny knows Frida's pregnant.
