La Gata #66 12/2/14 La Muñeca
I may be the only one who feels this way, but this is starting for feel more like a support group than a conversation about a Telenovela. Gluttons for Punishment Anonymous, perhaps?
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
Anyway...
Very bare bones tonight.
- Dr. Peñuela (played by the scrumptious Marcelo) is overwhelmed by eau de protagonista.
- Pablo wants to get married ASAP, but Esme still hesitates.
- Dr. Cisneros will be here soon!
- Pablo wears Esme down and she finally agrees to marry him the day before her operation (and I can't help but think that you aren't allowed to eat or drink after midnight before a surgery... so they better make it an AM wedding so Esme can enjoy a little of the reception.)
- Augie had hoped Mariano would remain loyal to him, but now his kids are dead to him and if Low is going to keep bleating about the nietos, she's dead to him too!

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 133.
Episode 133 televised on Friday, 11/21 from 35:40 - 48:00.
In which:
Izzy isn't dead -- or is he?
The search for Navier becomes a media circus!
Juanjo's sad secret is revealed! (Who knew he had a secret?)
There are two deliveries but there’s only one live baby
Navier may have forgotten many things, but he remembers he is the hero of this telenovela.
He comes to the rescue of winsome Bar Lady, beckoning her to his side and ordering the Three Stooges to leave. "Who are you?" barks the biggest stooge. "None of your business," says Navier. "All that matters is that she has someone to look out for her -- and that's me." Having no idea he is dealing with the Dragon, the big stooge makes the mistake of reaching for his gun. Navier shoots it out of his hand. "The next time, the bullet goes in your hand -- or your head, depending on my mood, which, at the moment, is pretty bad. If you come back, you'll leave feet first. Now GET OUT! And you, leave the money."

La Gata #65 And then stuff happened
My DVR went blank after maybe 25 minutes of the show and I could not find the episode on-line, below are bullet points of what I did get to see:
- Pablo picks up Kitty and takes her on a hot air balloon ride, if my boyfriend did that he would soon find himself single.
- Mariano is freaking out about the missing paper work, and instead of telling Fernando he and Pablo make it a super special mission to locate the document-dude, when your last hope is Pablo you know you are doomed.
- Kitty arrives home
- Mercedes freaks out because Lorenza has not returned the babies in time for Esmeraldas to see them
- Mercedes comes clean and tells Kitty that Lorenza has been picking up the babies everyday so they can go to the park, Kitty does not look happy.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #75 12/1/14 Nandito Becomes Collateral Damage
I really hate to say this, but this will be kind of a bare bones recap in some places. To do my recaps I watch online and take notes, then watch the TV broadcast and use the English CCs to fill in the gaps. We are having very cold weather in Western Washington and the TV reception has been terrible for the last few days. Monday night we were not able to get Univision at all and Hulu Plus doesn't have this episode available yet. If any of you can help fill in the gaps - or correct me if I got something wrong in the comments I'd be most grateful. I'll even treat you to this fun comic in return:
On to the recap!
(Some scenes have been combined)
At the hospital, Sofia tells Chava that she needs time to know if she really loves him. They come very close to kissing, but he kisses her forehead instead. Then he leaves.

The most chaste romance in history.

La Malquerida, capitulo 70. 12/01/14
Skipping
the old....
Carmen upon hearing the news that Nuria was killed starts crying that Ulises is possibly in danger. Hector tells her to calm down. This is no way to fix things. He will make some calls.
Ulises is able to get away from the inmate with the knife and the guards break up the fight.
Danilo welcomes Esteban, Cris and Acacia to his humble brothel....errrrrr abode. He hopes that they will consider him part of the family just like they do with Ale. Not so fast replies Cris. You have to prove that you can take care of Ale first. And more importantly that you respect her. That is why I organized this meal replies Danilo. To show you just how well I treat Ale. Aren't you happy he asks Ale. Of course replies Ale but the smile just doesn't quite reach her eyes. She doesn't want them to worry about her. Danilo greets Acacia with a hug. He's happy to see Esteban and Cris back together again. He has always believed that marriage is for life. Cris doesn't look like she buys the happy picture Ale and Danilo are trying to paint.
The inmate with the knife says Ulises tried to kill him. Ulises yells that he's lying. The guard doesn't care and will send them both to solitary confinement. He informs Ulises that those that cause trouble end up hurt or worse.
Danilo is sucking up to Cris and Esteban. Ale excuses herself to check on the food and asks Acacia to accompany her.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 132.
Here's a little update, folks. Because of the President's speech on Thursday, Nov. 20, it seems that 4 (that's right FOUR) episodes were squished together on Friday, Nov. 21. Yup, episodes 131, 132, 133 and 134 were smushed into something incomprehensible. We won't be done sorting out that single broadcast until Wednesday, Dec. 3!
I can't really tell you how the rest has been divvied up. I do know that the show officially ends tonight, Monday, December 1. (This final episode, by the way, is numbered 141 on YouTube.) So we are recapping a show that technically no longer exists. Whatever.
We'll keep doing our best to bring you the story, one chapter a day, basing our recaps on the episodes as they were shown in Mexico. We'll probably be done with this insanity by Friday, December 12.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And to get the week started, here is my recap of Episode 132, the second part of the 11/21 broadcast version:
In which:
Navier escapes after 5 months in the new PHoo Lab but his memory is gone!
Estefy gets a new López.
Mauro gets out of jail free but it won't be long before his future is all sewn up.
We learn the identity of the Costurer@!
We suspect that pudgy ORBO may have an edge.
And we meet a new rival for Navier's affections!

La Malquerida, capitulo 69. 11/28/14
Rubio
gets called into Esteban's office. He wants to know everything about
the local brothel.
Perla and Danilo walk in laughing and looking happy. Julianita is glad to see everything is now well between the two of them. He sends Perla off to let Ale know they have returned. Juanita informs him that Ale behaved all day and just stayed in her room. Ale walks in and he asks if she missed him. She doesn't say a word but her eyes yell out “Hell no!” He says everything went in his favor today. Things are not looking good for Ulises even with German's testimony. Rumor has it that German is very much in love with his new lady. So, I think that if you keep misbehaving, I will have to make you pay.
Esteban begs Cris to forgive him and take him back.
Norberto tells German that Juliana and Andres are interested in each other again. Even if that was the case says German, there was no reason to pull your gun on him. You could have hurt someone. I lost my mind when I saw them both together at the hotel replies Norberto. They now have filed a police report. They just want to bury me.

Fernando has a fit, rightfully so, and asks some questions. Alicia tells him that the boy turned out to be her own age. That doesn’t make things better for Alicia. She’s to have no phone, no tablet, and no internet, and no Briana since she’s her accomplice. Ana offers to make Fernando tea to help him sleep.
Natalia tells Diego that she loves him. He wants to know when that started. She tells him that she realized she loved him when she saw him when they were both back in Mexico, and after the accident, the thought of losing him confirmed it.

La Gata #64 11/28/14 La Maldad
La moral, la conciencia y la vergüenza
Mariano thanks El Sil again for helping him. El Sil thinks if Mariano was about to commit an offense, he had his reasons, but he also had the strength to stop himself. Morality and conscience has made Mariano a good person. When Mariano asks about shame, El Sil tells him to never forget it since it can keep a person from committing the same offense twice (which he phrases as "tropezar con la misma piedra"--tripping over the same stone. A classic TN phrase.)

La Gata #63 11-17-14 Turkey. . .and Masochism is best served HOT!!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This title is dedicated to Mariano and the other gobblers in tonight's episode!
Right out of the gate we are treated with Jarocha beating the crap out of Gisela. Jarocha gets in some good slaps, choking and a blow to the stomach before Pablo comes out into the hallway to see what’s happening. Relish this thrashing; you’re going to need it later. Jarocha tells Pablo that this dirty pig has told Esme she is paralyzed. Gisela doesn’t seem quite as cheeky anymore. Security Guards have to tussle mightily to restrain Jarocha who even aims some kicks at Gisela.
Pablo finds Esmeralda on the floor. She cries that she cannot walk and that she was lied to. Pablo holds her as she sobs and pledges his undying love.
Outside Fernando and Blanca arrive and Jarocha informs them as well of the well-guarded secret that Gisela has just blurted out. Fernando prepares to rip into her when Gisela recognizes him and calls him a killer. Blanca tries to defend him. Fer decides they will go in to see Esmeralda and tells Gisela he will deal with her later. The guards continue to keep Jarocha and Gisela separated.
Esme is back in bed now as Fer and Blanca enter. She is glad to see them; she has them and swears she is not going to give up. Outside the large glass window which opens on the hallway Rita states solemnly that her dream has been realized, Esme is a broken rag doll.

Mexico Episode #74
Read more »
I’m too filled with turkey, stuffing, and pie to go into
details tonight, so here are bullet points to get the conversation going…
-After Acacia spills the beans about Cristina’s pregnancy to
Esteban, he backs off. Then he stares at Cris throughout their contract meeting
with McCormick, and says nothing. He offers no protest when Cris says from now
on, she and Acacia will be the only people listed as administrators of Benavente.
This leaves Cris even more convinced that Esteban does not want to reconcile,
and she says so to Acacia. Knowing that she blabbed about the pregnancy, Acacia
is surprised that Este didn’t work things out with Cris.
-Acacia, Cris, and we, get a tour of McCormick and learn how
Benavente’s strawberries become delicious jams.
-Elena tells Juan Carlos about the pregnancy. He tells Cris
that he is not in agreement with her keeping it secret from Esteban (he’s
responsible for the child as its father), but in the end says he will support
her decisions. He’s also super happy to once again become a grandpa. Cris says
that she will give Este one more month to decide what the heck he wants. After
that she’ll tell him she’s pregnant, but not so that he’ll return.
-Este tells Rubio about Cris’ pregnancy. His parents
abandoned him in an orphanage, and he swore he would never abandon his own
child. He feels that he has to go back to Cris. Rubio points out that this
means that Este has to forget Acacia forever. Or does Este intend for her to
become his child’s stepmother? Este is not amused by this joke. Rubio points
out that even if he returns to Cris, Este is no longer the ranch administrator and
will need to make some money, for his backup escape plan. He subtly pushes Este
to partner with Danilo.

- Greta asks to see Sophia her office. She tells Sophia that she's disappointed in her for letting Chava slob all over her. She tosses that photos on the desk. Sophia wants to know who gave her the photos. Did Greta have her followed? Fausto, Alexa and Dani hear Greta yelling and run into the office. After seeing the photos on the desk, Alexa gets the courage to confess her love for Armando. Greta drops to the floor from a heart attack. Oliver comes over to visit.
- After dinner, Irma appeals to Chava to help her get Armando back. She blames Alexa for the demise of their relationship. Chava tells her that Alexa is not the blame. He reminds her that she trapped Armando with a kid that isn't his. She won't be able to get Armando back because she lied to him for so long.

Weekend Discussion: Black Friday and Retail Creep
By now most of us will have eaten our turkey, stuffing, etc., and are thinking about the next episodes of our favorite series or hanging with family or friends. How many of you are heading out to shop tonight?
About ten years ago when the early morning madness started a friend commented "In a few years we'll all be finishing our pumpkin pie and heading to the mall." And this year Target opened at 6PM and Walmart at 5. None of us at that table shops on Black Friday; I personally vowed ages ago to finish my holiday shopping before that and haven't broken that promise to myself. Anything purchased after that date is bought online.
This article sums up how I feel about this.
BTW, according to Wikipedia's article on this subject, Latin American also observes it.
Your thoughts, por favor!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends, but do drop in between bites of turkey and pie to discuss this episode.
Acacia Makes
Announcements, Does Undercover Acts of Kindness, and Spills Secrets:
Acacia gathers the family together to tell them she’s done
with Ulises, FOREVER…and she really, really means it this time. At least, until
the next time she changes her mind. The family is happy to hear it. Lizi
arrives and we find out what all the secret calls between her and Acacia were
about. Seems that a girlfriend of Lizi (*cough*, Hector) has a connection with
an art gallery that wants to do a show of German’s and Cris’ art! Yay! German,
Cris, and everyone else is excited. Lizi voices her reservations to Acacia
about keeping the real person behind the show secret and taking the credit. But
she doesn’t feel bad enough to reject German’s grateful kisses.
Later Acacia visits Alejandra and whines about Ulises lying
to her. Ale is concerned that Acacia will once again be vulnerable to Esteban’s
charms. She warns Acacia to keep her distance from Este and to remember that he’s
her MOTHER’S HUSBAND. Acacia says she won’t forget it, since he and Cris are
about to have a baby. Ale is sufficiently impactada.
Visiting Hours in the
Local Hoosegow*:
Ulises gets a few visitors. Cris, visits as part of her
mission to protect her baby Acacia. She asks Uli to let Acacia go on with her
life (without him) if he really loves her. Uli asserts his love and his
innocence, and swears that once he proves his innocence he’ll win back Acacia’s
love. (Dude, she doesn’t deserve YOU!) Cris says she’ll make sure he never sets
foot on the hacienda again. (Gringo—Perhaps we should start cooking that crow
dinner over the Thanksgiving break?) Carmen and Arturo visit, and are pretty
down about all the evidence stacking up against Uli with Nuria’s testimony. Finally,
Hector visits. He still believes in Ulises, and he wants Uli to be more cautious
about sharing info since he thinks there’s a mole somewhere—Nuria knew too much
info and he believes someone was feeding it to her. He also tells Uli that he
has his people looking for Itzel (who Nuria claims was another woman seduced by
Uli).
*The American slang for jail, hoosegow, is derived from the
Spanish word, juzgado.
