♥ Mi Corazón es Tuyo ♥ Lunes 11/17/14 ♥ #86 ♥
Capitulo
86: En el sueño es verdad
Hospital
Room: Enrique, disguised in scrubs complete with mask, rubber
gloves, and matching biohazard booties to prevent footprints, sneaked
into Nicolás' room. He remembered his father's death. He leaned
over the bed whispering, “Your son killed my father. Now you will
die.”

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of November 17, 2014.
My Dear Reinamaniacs:
If we were Telemundo programming executives, we would surely see the wisdom in running this witty little spoof of a telenovela through the powerful maw of the network Plot-Compactor.™ We would understand why two or three whole episodes are being crammed into a time slot meant to accommodate only one. We would realize that whole episodes of Reina could not be shown late at night or early in the morning because... well, just because.
But since we are mere viewers, we can only marvel at the incoherent mess that the Plot-Compactor produces and at its uncanny ability to remove all narrative flow (and almost every light-hearted moment) from Marcela Citterio's brilliant, if wonderfully insane and convoluted story.
In case you missed last week's conversation in this space, listen up. We've decided to try a slightly different approach to recapping. Since in this case, the Dragon is in the details, as of Thursday, November 13, we started telling the story one Mexican episode at a time -- A Chapter a Day -- regardless of how it is broadcast in the United States.

Blogger Update: New Update from Madelaine
Madelaine just sent a new update on her health today....
Hola Y'all,
I've had two little set backs. I went back in the hospital twice. The first was a complete heart check. Things were fine. The second was to drain that lung again. I am now done with the radiation treatment. I am continuing to recover. It's funny in a way, I have now been on all floors of the hospital, and they all know me. I even got two cards from them, one from oncology, and one from cardiac floor. They called me the crazy Texan, too funny. My name may be Madelaine Fails, but Mads never Fails, how about that.
I feel so blessed for having Mr. Mads as my hubby, my wonder daughter Mia, the home nurses that come check on me, the physical therapists that work with me, and Y'all for being family to me and sending me all those wonderful cards, earworms, gift cards and to the person, you know who you are, who sent me Alborada, I thank you so much. God Bless you, your prayers, and warm feelings. I think of you everyday.
Cheers,

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo # 65 11/14/14 I'll Know You Love Me If You Ride the Bus Home
Hello Everyone! I'm sorry this is late, I had to take a quick trip out of town on Saturday. Here are links to a couple of articles I found on Hasta. The first is Pedro talking about leaving the show:
The second is a short article on David Zepeda's thoughts about taking on the role of Chava:
On to the recap!
Old:
Alexa and Armie go out for lunch and kiss passionately at their table.
Miguelina comes back to work at the Ripoll house and learns about Dani's hunger strike.
New:
Dani, once again dressed like jailbait, studies with Oliver. To surprise her, Miguelina brings them milk and cookies. Dani is overjoyed to have Miguelina back. She starts to introduce Miguelina to Oliver and finds out that they already know each other because Miguelina worked for Oliver's family.

La Malquerida, capitulo 60. 11/14/14
Mi Corazon Es Tuyo, #85 A Busy Day at the Hospital Waiting Room
This recap seems to read like bulletpoints, but the scenes were actually just short and to the point throughout the episode.
We begin with Ana praying with the children that Don Nico will be alright. And under TN rules, when something is prayed for, it will be so. So there you have it. We know that Nico will pull through. Phhew!
Ximena is on her way out the door, when her mama stops her asks her if she thought about what they talked about. Xi wants to talk about it later, that is, if mama is still going to be around. Mama (don’t know her name) says she will be there for as long as she needs her. Xi pulls away suddenly and says ‘who are you and what have you done with my selfish and egocentric mother?’ Did Xi pray for her mother to change her attitude? If so, then that will explain the new improved attitude.

La Gata #55 11/14/14 La Confusión
Just a quick run down from memory. It might be a little out of order (or a lot...) I really just stuck to the main events. I'm sure I missed some things.
The motín (rebellion) continues. Pablo tries to talk-down the Cyclops/Unibrow.
Augie and El Sil discuss assets. El Sil reminds him that all the assets are his, BUT there is some mine near the ranch that Augie insists is his. He bought it after El Sil went to jail. Augie tries a little groveling and El Sil reminds Augie that he had no pity when El Sil was begging all those years ago.

FAMILY FEUD
Ana’s answer to The Big Question is another question: why didn’t Don Fernando fight for their love? Because I was an idiot! No, she reasons, it was because he didn’t love her enough.
Nando takes Edith Munster home after their miraculous drowning rescue of Xi from the pool. (Makes me curious if Edith-Death-Becomes-Her instead of St. Peter was the first thing Xi saw when regaining consciousness, did Xi think she’d succeeded in her suicide attempt?)
Ana finally sleeps on the rough jail cell bench and dreams a combo of Cinderella and Ice with a type of competition for her two contending Prince Charmings and two slippers, neither of which fits. It turns into a nightmare. (Kiddie fare. FF>>)
Bruno’s still a mental case.
The next morning the airing of the family laundry is pretty rank as Ana and Don Fernando return to a pacing and very angry and accusative Diego. Don Nicolas tells him he’s past the line. Why? He reproaches Ana for cheating on him with his big brother. What? How?...Why???? “—My heart is yours????” that’s why. He saw the whole thing—practically—on tape, especially that kiss. Ruh-roh. Doesn’t matter that Ana tries to defend her defending him. He saw what he saw. Doesn’t matter that Estefania left him because of his footloose and fancy-free life-style, not to mention any number of infidelities before Don Fernando and she became an item., and yadda, yadda. Ana reminds all three men that she was very clear about her confusion and her feelings towards DF from the very beginning.
Meanwhile, Nando prepares Xi-I want-it–painted-black for her mother’s return to take responsibility finally for her daughter’s condition.
Bety learns over at the company offices that Enrique has been named the interim president. She’ll continue as the prez’s sexratary BTW. Celebration time. They enter the office. He tells her to box up DF’s stuff. He barks at her over DF’s unsigned letter of resignation.
Leon gets another bill for Tamara’s unpaid funeral expenses along with a threat he’ll be sued if the bill isn’t paid ASAP. (Don’t these people ever think ahead and just go with what they can afford?) Yawn.
Alicia and BFF continue with their computerized femme fatale fiction. FF>>
The argument spins out—“And if I did approach Ana, so what? You gonna come after me?” It ends in a slug fest till Don Nico drops over from a heart attack due to the anxiety and upset. Isabrooda blames Ana, natch, but Ana tells her to stuff it.
The family ends up at the hospital where Don Nico dreams about the happy times with his grand kids.
Reeky finds out from Bety, while surfing the net or something else equally as productive…. that Don Nico’s in the hospital with serious heart problems. He’s smiling from ear to ear as she walks out of the room. His culminating act of venganza papa for papa cannot be very far off now. He tells Isa later that his plan is to insure that DF continues to believe they’re closest of friends.
The doctor comes out to tell Jennifer that he’ll need open heart surgery. 50-50 chance of survival.
Xi’s momma returns and offers a solution: go to a therapeutic ranch in the U.S. where they treat people specifically afflicted with Bi-Polar disease. “--Do it for your boyfriend, at least?” Xi looks like she might agree with her for once.
Ana returns home to tell the kids about their granddad when they arrive home from school. In the meanwhile she saves Bruno, still a memory-less mental case, from being harassed and abused by Yo-low Yolanda as she tries undressing him in her bedroom after claiming they’ve been lovers this whole time. FF>>FF>>
Reeky arrives at the hospital to give his respects to DF and family as they wait for the results of the surgery. DF suggests it was Linda who planned the scandal. Reeky quickly agrees it had to have been.
Isa shows up next and gives her emotional support—as a friend. He falls for it. He’s too blinded by the pain and guilt of all that’s transpired to be thinking clearly.
Once the kids arrive home, Ana explains the situation about Don Nico and the group of them begin praying for his recovery.

 |
| She's Counting his Ripoll Recipe Royalties Before they are Hatched |
Greta tells Paco that she doesn't like seeing hate in his eyes. Paco says that the love turned to hate. They are interrupted by Araceli. Greta introduces herself to Araceli and leaves. Araceli recognizes Greta from the photo that Paco had torn up earlier in the week. She asks Paco about it. Paco says that she's mistaken. Paco is saved by Irma who is there to purchase soup for Nandito. She tells Paco that Armando left her for one of those manstealin' Ripoll tramps. She's begun working for Renzi again in order to support herself and Nandito. Paco tells her that she's a fool. Renzi is responsible for the sudden rash of violence in the neighborhood. Irma tells them that Renzi has upped the offer for her house. Their conversation is interrupted by Lupe, who agrees that Renzi is responsible for the thuggishness activites. She suggests that Irma pay more attention to her husband. Irma leaves in a huff.

La Gata #54 Thursday, 11-13-14 Hurry Up! . . . .and wait
We begin riding along with Virginia and Esme in a car talking about
Mariano and Augie discuss El Sil’s next move: the preventive embargo is something the complainant does when he’s sure he’ll win the case. Augie agrees it is what he would do in El Sil’s position. Lorenza can’t believe they’re talking so impersonally as if it were just another legal case. This is our life, our ruin! Mariano wants Augie to admit his guilt, his crime. Lo reminds Mariano that thanks to this “immorality", he (Mariano) is a lawyer today and not to forget these problems affect him, too, Augie tells Mariano to do what his conscience tells him and don’t worry about his.
Gisela tells Pablo about the embargo. Pablo says he knows how his mother is going to take it. She says only El Sil can save them. Pablo states he has no influence over El Sil who initiated the embargo in the first place. So you’re turning your back on your parents too?
In a short breather from Gisela we see Carlos walking with Esme and Virginia in the background. Esme assures Carlos he will be free soon, his case is being worked on.
Back to Pablo telling Gisela he doesn’t know what he can do. Exasperated but stern she says so you want me to go back to your parents and tell them you can do absolutely nothing for them? Esme walks up. She and Pablo kiss warmly. Gisela decides to leave, thinks better of it and then lays into Esme with a verbal projectile vomiting of Lorenza’s lamentations: She’s leaving your parents in the kind of misery she’s all too used to; she’s encouraging El Sil in his revenge; she hates your parents.

Miércoles – Parte Uno
ORBO and Estefi are brought into CIA headquarters by
FELS and Esmeeth. ORBO didn’t think this was how he was going to have a talk
with Esmeeth. FELS tells Estefi that he needs to talk to her. She asks if this
is part of the interrogation. “Take her away,” orders FELS. [Why is he allowed
to be anywhere near her?]
Susana comes into Juanjo’s bedroom and sees him in
bed, asleep with his arm around Connie. They’re dressed but she is shocked.
Dra Moto takes off her shirt. In comes Laz with the
baby. He hastily looks the other way while she covers herself. She explains
that she about to take a bath since she was working all night. “Well, not all
night,” corrects Laz. Laz says that what happened between them should never
happen again. Moto agrees.
Juanjo and Connie wake up hung over. “Did they really
sleep together?” asks Connie. “Shhh. Don’t say that,” replies JJ and then finds
a note from Susana congratulating him or getting together with Connie. She
wrote that he is better than Christián and Connie is better than Yoli.

Mi corazon es tuyo.. #83 Nov 12 2014... If Fer could turn back time... but Ana says not so fast, i was door no. 2 but you dont get to pick me after you chose door no.1 and didn't like what was there
Refritos:
Nando spooked by Edith, he would want to rip her pierced earring off her nose but is afraid he will end up with snot in his hands… she warns he would die trying. Rosita calls Nando and he runs out on everyone.
Ana reminds Fernando that Diego is also a player in this script. Fernando insists that Ana should not stay with Diego if she doesn’t love him. Ana asks ‘what do you know about what I feel?’
F: So you love him? Tell me! You love him?
Lo Nuevo:
A: it doesn’t matter what I feel for Diego. You broke my heart! You!
F: If you can swear to me right now that you can be completely happy with Diego, I will gladly step aside and give up on your love for the rest of my life. Go ahead!
A: Lets see.. He (Diego) has been the only one that has been by my side all the time… he has done for me things no one else has.
F: Ana, I know Diego too well. He has always run away from long term commitments. He has never dreamed of forming a family! Ana, what happened so many years ago with Fanny Sr was not my fault.
A: Lets see. Fanny Sr, RIP, was Diego’s GF. And you got in the middle there!
F: Ana, I did not get in the middle. Love does not end overnight. Of course there were reasons for her to stop loving him. They were not compatible. She ended their relationship!
(‘who was Mrs Estefania?’ ‘She was my brother’s wife’)
A: You got in the middle! They were a couple and he loved her!! Your brother loved her! And you went after your brother’s girl!
F: Lets see, I did not go after her! I did not get in the middle! She was free! She first ended it with Diego! And later, the love between us could not be hidden. We were together 20 years. We had 7 kids desired and loved! I don’t regret the relationship I had with Fanny Sr. I don’t regret it.
(‘was that true?’ ‘Yes!’)
F: Ana, the relationship was wearing out because their interests were not the same. My brother is not stable. He was a womanizer. Even while they were still dating, he was unfaithful to her. He swore he was madly in love and was unfaithful. That is why she ended it with him. That is why I did not get in the middle!
(‘ is that true too?’ ‘Yes!’)

Mexico Episode #64
Read more »
After Hector confesses to still being in love with Cris
while hugging her, Esteban rushes in, pulls them apart and starts punching.
Hector gives as good as he gets, and Cris gets between them and orders them to
stop. They stop long enough for Este to manhandle Cris, and for Hector to fuss
at him for doing so and say that this was not Cris’ fault. Este is not
listening. He scuffles with Hector some more, then drags Cris out of there.
Hector calls himself an idiot.
Norberto has been out all night with Julianita and they are
making out in his car. He decides to buy her some expensive perfume, and they
make out some more in public on the street in front of the shop. German catches
them, and goes off on Norberto about betraying his mother and about his moral
double standards. Norberto yells that German is nobody to judge him. “Yes I
am-- I’m your son!” WHAP! Norberto whacks German across the face with his
closed fist. German leaves with angry tears in his eyes, warning Norb that he won't let him hurt his mother. (Well, that was a short
reconciliation.)
Out on the street, Cris insists that Este let her go and not
treat her this way. She says that regardless of what Hector may feel for her,
she only sees him as a friend. She has never betrayed Este, not even in her
thoughts (he certainly can’t say the same). She would never cheat on him. Este
refuses to believe it, says he doesn’t want to listen to lies, and demands that
she cancel the art show and stop seeing Hector. “If you see him again, then
forget about me.” “Very well then. Go.” (Woohoo! You go, Cris.)

La Gata #53 - Wed 11/12 - La Comedia
At Casa Silencioso, Mercedes bullies Esme into eating some breakfast. Despite the huge table, there are only, what, six? places set. And Esme's saying "What, are we feeding the entire colonia this morning?" Even the arrival of Fela doesn't snap Esme out of her grouchy mood. Fela is convinced Fernando will be able to spring Pablo.
The cops apparently called Rita to testify. Why? Fernando asks why she wants to hurt Pablo. Rita told the cops that Pablo has "ojeriza" (dislike) for Meatball. Rita whines about her achy joints when Fernando says his lawyers will be calling her to "rectificar" (fix , clarify …not take it back) her testimony. While Fernando thinks Pablo has screwed up royally, whatever Esme wants, Esme gets! And it would do Rita well to remember that she's not dealing with the old Don Fernando, but El Silencioso. And El Sil does not forgive.

Mexico Episode 63
Read more »
All- I did a ffwd through the Uni version and realized that they showed a whole episode. No cutting or combining. Who knows what they have planned for the next few weeks.
Cris’ angry/perplexed reaction to finding Acacia and
Estebone all alone cuddled up on the hillside is sidelined when Acacia runs to
her arms crying about Palomino’s death. Acacia then says she doesn’t want to
talk about it and runs off. The first of a series of fights between Cris and
Este begins. The short version: Cris calls Este out for not telling her
something so important that happened to her daughter. He throws in her face
that she was off doing lord knows what with Hector. Cris slaps him! How dare he
insult her that way!
Later, the family and friends at Benavente have a little
memorial in the living room for Palomino (his ashes in a box Acacia holds).
Acacia basically speaks out loud to her father about losing this piece of him,
but then publicly thanks Esteban for being there for her like a second father.
She takes his hand and then gives him one of those full body hugs. Cris looks
on, and she does not look pleased. She takes Acacia to her bedroom for a chat.
Cris asks Acacia why lately she goes to Este first with all
her problems and not her, her mother? She says she wants to spend more time
with Acacia, and that Acacia should come to her first with her issues. Acacia
points out that Cris wanted her to get close to Este. She used to hate him
because she thought he wanted to take all that was her father’s, and now she
loves/cares for (querer) him. She thought that’s what Cris wanted. Cris says
yeah, but I’M YOUR MOTHER! Acacia tells her not to be jealous (note that she
means Cris shouldn’t be jealous of Este, while we in the audience know it
should be Cris being jealous of Acacia). She tells Cris things she would never
tell Este, like that she kissed Manuel. “Que, que?!!” Cris is shocked and
ticked off. She scolds Acacia for kissing Manuel when she knows she doesn’t
have feelings for him and is just leading him on—doesn’t matter if she was
tipsy. Now Cris thinks Este might have been right to forbid Acacia and Manuel
from seeing each other. Acacia is ticked off that either one of them would
forbid her seeing Manuel.
