De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #151- Friday 8/8/2014
De que hablan mucho, hablan mucho.
So.many.words.So.little.plot.
Vivi, thank you for yesterday's recap!
Really short and sweet. Minimal details.
- Irene and Grumps hug it out.
- El ignores Carmen's call.
Brat (Brigitte) is still looking for work. Paul le Champignon (MM) overhears her griping about her father not helping her. He doesn't think he should be just a sugar daddy. She shouldn't have something if she doesn't deserve it. Brat leaves in a huff (when does she NOT leave in a huff?) Carmen lets MM know they can only be friends.

Family Fallout
Cap. 14
• Don Fernando has retrieved the car keys (Nando is shocked!) along with the credit cards (No! Not the credit cards, too??) from Fannie, who’s careless late night napping at Leon’s has caused a mini-scandal. “--My house, my rules!” “--Papa, you’re such a disappointment since Mama’s death. You’ve ignored us and when you are at home you close yourself in and do nothing but work!” She races off and slams her door.
• Ana realizes there’s a deeper pain here seeping to the surface and mentions this to Bruno. Bruno stammers back to Ana that they’ve never had a blow up like this in the family before. “—Why not? It’s a family full of kids and they all have their problems, right?" “--If only Sra. Stefania were still alive…..” "--Well, she’s not so they’ll have to learn to deal!”
• DonFer tells his wife’s portrait that he’s failed as a father. And now, Fannie’s dating his messenger boy.
• Fannie’s solution is to pack her bags and head for Leon’s digs at the boarding house. (That’ll last about as long as it takes her to realize she’s gotta share the bathroom with six hairy beasties who are also strangers.)

Que Pobres Tan Ricos # 153 : 8/7/14: Secrets and Lies, We Are Looking at You Lupe, Ahole and Perla!
Hola Amiguis! Let me explain how I recap. I do it by what I call free range ear and the way the actors move and speak. I use no captions and when they throw the slang in there and talk in rapid fire sequence or all talk at once, I have to think about the episode. I have a little earworm for Y'all to listen to Live To Tell! This is for you Vilma!
Shall we begin? We are in the juice office with Trofeo, Dona Mati and MA with the new Innocence Juice that is organic. MA has a great idea about marketing this juice and Dona Mati is sure that he will make this juice bidnez a success just as MA did with his bidnez in London.
Perla has fainted and Tizoc carries her to the hospital The check in doctor is rude to the Menchaca, he tells them there are lots of people ahead of them, they sit Perla down and she passes out again. Tizoc carries her straight back to an ER bed.

De que lo denunció, lo denunció

Vicente pays a visit to El at the police station and squeals
on Rod. He tells El that Rod killed Alberto, and that it was his (Vicente’s)
fault for not putting a stop to Rod sooner and for enabling him. El graciously
tells Vicente that only Rod is to blame for his actions. It really seems that
Grumps has finally seen the light, until he makes his condition for turning Rod
in known. He thinks Rod was damaged by the 2 year coma, and that’s what’s
turned him into a homicidal thief. He wants the police to declare him mentally
ill and charge him as such. El is just gearing up to tell him hell no, when his
boss comes in and mistakenly thinks that El has reopened the case all on his
own, and is harassing Vicente. Vicente actually speaks up and says he’s there
to turn in his grandson himself.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Diego and Rosa try to
distract Rod and keep him away from Grumps’ empty room. Rod yells for Lala to
serve them some dinner, but she’s with Grumps, so Diego and Rosa lie and stall
some more. Lala, meanwhile, sends a detailed text to Rosa about where they are
and what Vicente is doing. In a rookie move, Rosa leaves her cell phone on
Vicente’s bed—the perfect place for Rod to see and read all about how they have
been trying to get one over on him. He erases the message and tells Diego he
has to leave to see a client. Instead, he goes to Caprico to transfer the last
of the company’s funds into his bank account.
The cops come to the mansion with Lala, who mentions the
text. Diego quickly realizes that Rod must have seen the message and that he
has fled. The police arrive at Caprico just as Rod has finished his transfer,
and he sees them through his office window. By the time El and his team burst
into his office, Rod has made his escape—he’s running across Caprico’s roof.
Diego calls El, and informs him that: 1) Rod knows; and 2) he’s (Diego) on his way to
Caprico. (Is it really a good idea to head right into a situation where armed
cops are searching for and gunning for your IDENTICAL TWIN? Yeah, the cops who
stopped Diego and demanded identification didn’t think so either.) El heads to
the roof and gives chase. Both he and Rod do some athletic jumps off a
neighboring roof and take the chase to the streets. El yells at Rod to freeze,
pointing his gun at his retreating form. Diego hears and runs right towards
them!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 191 --The Miraculous One-Day Redemption of Jose Luis Alvarez-- 8/7/2014
Dear Friends:
This is an episode that you really must see if you have
followed Lo Que La Vida Me Robo. It has some very sweet moments along with a
distinct foreshadowing of more darkness to come.
Sadly, I have a migraine headache tonight and I will not be
able to complete a full recap. Lo siento.
Here are a few highlights of the episode:
·
Jose Luis talks to Angelica. He admits he does
not love Montserrat. She is no longer (in his heart).
·
Graciela asks her children for their forgiveness.
They agree and she says she can now live in peace.
·
Jose Luis visits Amalia.
·
Jose Luis visits Esmeralda and apologizes for
not being there for Refugio.
·
Jose Luis visits Father Anselmo. He confesses
his faults, and Anselmo encourages him. God will never abandon him.

Editors Note: My dear patio peeps, this is the end of a long journey, tonight is my last full recap of Robo and I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for staying with us through this whole trip, this story has taken some very dark turns and it has not always been easy to watch-let alone recap, but the awesome community that we have built here always kept me going, sometimes I'd read a comment/recap that would make me laugh out loud, or think about something that I would normally dismiss, all of you here through your comments have made recapping an awesome experience, I often wonder if you all realize how wonderful you all are? I thank you all for the kind words you have had for me every other Wednesday and encourage those of you that are lurking to come out and join us on the patio, we don't bite, we just snark! Again, thank you all for being total super stars, I consider you all friends and am honored to have worked with this team and to have commented along with you all. The recap can be found below, enjoy!
I' am skipping the old and getting right to the new stuff.

Que Pobres tan Ricos August 6: in which Perla plays a tree.
Ezra is in Canada so I'm subbing tonight, and skipping the retreads. There appeared to be missing chunks, did we lose an episode?
- I don't think "Cherubs Hospital" is a good name for a place where abortions are performed. Frida is shown into a room and while waiting for the doctor and looking at all the sharp scary instruments on the stainless steel table she loses her nerve and leaves.
- Emi invites Alejo to eat at the fonda. Chuy is furious to see him and, seemingly talking about mosquitos, says "We can't let these bloodsuckers in."

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #150 - Wednesday 8/6
De que no está muerto, no está muerto.
Is anyone surprised that I continue to have cable woes? Now my DVR is freezing and rebooting itself randomly. Thank God it didn't affect my watching and taking notes, but while I was playing back to translate Tad's letter, the picture froze and the box rebooted itself. I took notes tonight, but not a lot. Sorry if there aren't more details. Aaaand I have another cable guy coming out tomorrow.Hilda forgot the address so had to come back earlier than expected. The door is locked and Rod is still with Tib. Hilda calls out that she's going to go get someone with the key and Rod slips out.
Andres acts like a petulant child and thinks Diego is just at the funeral to bust moves on Nat. Diego over hears and informs him that he's there for his Aunt, but if he's making Andres uncomfy he'll leave. Nat thinks Andres is the one who should leave.
Hilda realizes something is wrong with Tib and calls for the nurse (? what exactly was that person's position?)
Rod is back at his office and gloats about leaving no witnesses. He fires up his computer and gets a message about there being in interruption in the last process that was trying to run. He calls the secretary and tells her to get the IT Crowd (Have you tried turning it on and off again?)

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 189, Tues., 8/5/14: Murder and Meningitis and Vengeance, Oh My!
Someone has finally noticed the elephant in the room, says I.
I have a confession to make. As tragic as Monday's episode was, I saw it as the awakening of Aguazul, and not its downfall. I've been waiting to hear someone say the problem out loud, as Alejandro did in his conversation with Victor...
Ese miserable [de Pedro Medina] está jugando con todos, colocándonos en situaciones que sacan lo peor de nosotros mismos. Quiere que peleemos entre nosotros mismos para debilitárnos.
(That bastard is toying with us, putting us in situations that bring out the worst in us. He wants to pit us against each other to make us weak.)
...and then to propose its solution:
Y tenemos que hacer todo lo contrario; necesitamos estar más unidos que nunca.
(And we have to do exactly the opposite -- we need to be more united than ever.)
When Alejandro stood up to Pedro Medina and refused his Faustian bargain and then later forgave Victor, refusing to see him as his enemy, and when Refugio did the same thing by refusing to compromise his integrity even while looking down the barrel of a gun, I was sure that this show had turned a moral corner.
After tonight's episode -- crap! Was I wrong!

Mi Corazón Es Tuyo, Tuesday August 5. Wrong Kind of Fire, Fernando.
An episode mostly composed of cute but pointless little
vignettes…until the end where Fernandolt takes complete leave of any senses
above the beltline.
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.
I'm tired from loading and unloading a truckload of hay for my donkeys today, and the subtitles were a mess, so this is going to be minimal. Please add what you will.
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.

Chapter
188: I Regret
Almonte
House, Gracie's Bedroom: Monserrat finished helping Gracie get
back to her previous appearance. She had colored her hair back to
the ash blonde it had been before Fabiola's suicide. She had applied
makeup. She brought the mirror to her mother's bed so she could see
herself. Gracie was pleased.
“You
did a really great job on my hair,” she said.
“You
look beautiful, Mother,” she said.
“Thank
you, my love,” Gracie said. “You don't know what this means to
me. I want to say it matters your caring for me.”

Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/4/14 (#149): Fear of the Unknown
We're in ultimos capitulos now, and the gran final is August 24.
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
De que no murió todavia, no murió todavia
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
Reina fans - you rock - more than 285 comments last week! As NovelaMaven already mentioned, we have decided to do two Reina posts a week while this level of comments continues. That way, we should avoid having to deal with the dreaded "second page" of comments, which is a pain and baffling for new followers of our blog. We will do the usual post on Monday and second one on Thursday, just before that day's capitulo airs.
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:
