Weekend Discussion: Do Humans Need Love?
Poets,
dramatists, composers, and artists have all made careers of
glorifying Love. We glue ourselves to our screens night after night
watching novela characters trying to make sense of this emotion that
other characters either know less about than they do or....
intentionally attempt to deceive them about. However while writers,
composers, singers, and actors do their best to promote Love – in
all its forms – as the grandest thing in life nobody ever
seriously addresses the big fundamental question: Do humans need
love to live and be happy?
Que Te Perdone Dios #78 – In Which Diego is Engaged to His Half Sister, Punched by His Brother-in-law and Disdained by His Brother or Nephew
Refried: Patricio avoids mentioning that he knows something
went on between Mat and Abi in Mexico, and Renata says how much she likes
Xi-ela (in Daniela configuration) and Pat rants against Xi-ela (in Ximena configuration).
Also, Mat and Diana discutir, he says don’t meter mi mamá, and she says mamá and
Padre Tomás are on her side. He’s the one who started this war.
New: All members of Xi-ela are in their apartment, and
Ximena complains that she gets bored on her week off from Porfirio. What, did she stop
going to spas and such? Is that really how she sees this unique opportunity, as
simply a week off from Porfis? Well, of all the places in the big, wide world
she could go, she wants to go to Real de San Andrés. She wants to check out
this place that Daniela likes, she’s interested in meeting Renata, and she
wants to “help” Dani with the Pat situation.

La Sombra del Pasado #58 5/7/15 Descent into Stupid
I hope I can be forgiven. I was already dozing off before the episode even started, so I'm just going to give you guys a quick, out-of-order rundown of the action and hit the sack. We can all fill in details in the comments. Honestly, I kind of wanted to RPC the whole damn thing.
I felt ambivalent
Silvia came to see Cris and told him exactly where Aldonza was and where she was sleeping. Which Cris took to mean "sleeping with Renato"...not "she was tired and needed some rest so she took Renato's room while he slept in the guest room." She practically begs Cris to go to the DF and cause a scene so Aldonza will get out of Renato's life. Cris figures out that Silvia loves Renato.
Dominga and Irma discuss their idiot children. Lola is still wanting Emanuel, but she's with that Pato/Ganso/Whatever guy. Mari wants E-man too, but can't seem to see he wants Lola.
Joaquin and Eman have hangovers. They barely remember the night before. They decide Eman can stay with Joaquin. Good. Housing taken care of.
The police go to Las Animas looking for Abelardo. Cande tells them to come back in a few days when her husband is back. She alerts Sev to their visit.
Lardo gets permission from Tomas's parents to stay with them. He catches Pru and Tomas snogging.
I probably shouldn't be ambivalent about this, but Aldonza tells Renata about the wedding plans that didn't pan out because she caught Cris kissing his ex.
Eman does go visit Hum at the office. Hum at least knows he's safe.

La Sombra del Pasado #57 - Wed 5/6 - Nobody's sleeping tonight
As Sev begins to sneak out of his hiding place, gun at the ready, the unhelpful witness and the building super (one guesses) show up. They're helpfully talking loud enough to warn off whoever it is they think they heard up there, which makes the super's baseball bat all the more ridiculous. Sev slinks back under his rock as Aldonza, Renato, and the two new arrivals make their way out of the apartment.
Emmanuel, newly homeless, witnesses Pato and Lola dining al fresco on some yummy looking tlacoyos. Pato tells the following joke:

sleep. He sure hopes she’s in better
spirits today. As for him, he and

murderers are caught soon.
Peralta’s Office – Dulliver’s
confused
Geronimo explains he’s designating office space specifically
for Proyecto Magnus. The first phase of
construction has begun and before long, the first tower will be completed. Oliver is confused as to why he needs an
entire company set up for the project.
Gerry tells him he’s hired Patricio, to be in charge of the new
company. Dulliver doesn’t understand why
he wasn’t put in charge of that company.

business, his most important business venture.
As his successor and only heir, Dulliver needs to understand the
business perfectly.

La Sombra del Pasado, 05-05-2015, Capítulo 56
Recap by HellaShelle!
Here you go: One recap, light on the snark, heavy on the smh and rolling eyes.
Long story short: Aldie bought into Cande/Val’s tired plot and went back to DF. Emmanuel called Val out and is moving out. Pru slapped Lardo in front of Irma, who asked Mari about it. Mari threw a mini fit because everything’s always about Lardo. Sim called Las Animas for Sev, but Cris picked up and might be suspicious. At the end, Sev is literally lurking in the shadows of the burnt apartment, listening to Ren and Aldonza discuss the situation.
Long version: My recording oddly skipped the refrito and a little of the new, so I come in thinking I’m going to see Aldie rolling her eyes at Val’s ridiculous ploy BUT NO!!! Instead there’s Val leaning on Cris’s shoulder, promising she never meant to get him into this mess. Forgive me, she sighs dramatically. She’s exiting stage right when Cris yanks her back, wondering where the heck she’s going, having apparently imploded his life.

Padre Jeronimo gets a visit from Satan and his wife La Sombra Del Pasado#55 May4th, 2015
Remember: this is a spoiler free zone.
Aldonza and Cris come to the conclusion that Candela did not tell them the whole truth but they swear that the news regrading their parents ugly past won't keep them apart and then they kiss.
Cris leaves and Aldonza picks on her aunt for keeping things from her, she wants to know if her dad ever figured out that his wife was sleeping with Sev, Adelina says Ray did find out but that he did nothing once he learned the truth cause he kinda died. Aldonza tells her that if she finds out that she lied and kept things from her she will never forgive her. That is so not cool. Why does Adelina have to suffer through this? She did nothing wrong!
The next morning Candela is off to torment, visit Padre J and bumps into Cris on the way out, he tells her that Padre J will be going home so her trip will be wasted, then he tells her that he and Aldi don't believe she told him everything that there is to know about Sev/Rob affair, Candela says there's nothing more to the story and Cris reminds her that sometimes people keep secrets when it benefits them. Cande looks pissed.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #182 5/4/15 INFERNO
I had extremely bad TV reception Monday night. I couldn't get any more than a second or two of good reception and finally lost the signal altogether. I had to watch this on Hulu without English captions so I'm sure I missed some of the dialogue. Please fill in what I missed in the comments.
From Friday:
We relive scenes from Sofia and Chava's wedding: The rings, the vows, the guests - Alexa looks like she jumped out of the shower in a hurry and just ran a comb through her hair. She looks awful. I notice Isadora is one of the guests, so apparently not all the Peraltas hate the Ripolls. The priest pronounces the couple husband and wife and we get a close up of DZ's sloppy kissing. Mercifully, he doesn't jam his tongue down her throat. Chava tells Sofia that they'll be together till the end of the world. The way he stalked her was there ever any doubt she'd never get rid of him?

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #181 20150501 Lupe Ain't Cold in Her Grave, Chava's Hitched and Paco is Now a Big Stud!
- Armando assumes that Lupe went to heaven and tells Nandito not to expect a dinner invitation for a home cooked meal over at Chava's anymore.
- Alexa is bitchin' about Armando to Paolo when she gets a call from Dani. Dani informs her sister that Lupe was murdered. Alexa's all shocked, but says that she can't attend the funeral because she has a movie to make. She sends Chava her condolences and says that she'll call him when she is less busy.
- It's standing room only at the funeral and Lupe's body's not warm, but Greta is already making the moves on Don Paco before any of the other hussies from the hood can get to him. Greta takes her place beside him on the itty bitty pews. Marisol, Chava and Sophia sit across the aisle from them. Marisol hopefully eyes the door, but Patrick never appears. He's in bed with Silvana.

New Telenovela: Lo imperdonable starts May 18, 2015
After complaints that some of our plot summaries were full of spoilers, here is a brief one for the upcoming Lo imperdonable. If you want to recap, write me at caray@mappamundi.com - blog mom.Martín (Iván Sánchez) hurries to Mina Escondida after getting an urgent letter from his brother begging to be rescued from the hell in which he's living. On arrival, Martin despairs upon finding out that Demetrio (Pablo Montero), his brother, has committed suicide. His sorrow is transformed into hatred and a thirst for vengeance against the woman who caused his brother suffering and brought him to death.
Full of resentment, Martín swears before the tomb of his brother that he will get revenge against this ruthless woman, he will cause her to fall in love and he will drag her to the green hell of this jungle in which he will despise her as she despised his brother.
The first clue to the culprit's identity is a medallion his brother always kept with him, engraved with the name "V. Prado Castelo." Martin returns to the capital, knowing that Prado Castelo is the biggest jewelry business in the country. He aims to grow close to the family. He makes the acquaintance of Emiliano (Sergio Sendel), only heir to the fortune, newly arrived in México after years of absence.
Martín meets Verónica (Ana Brenda) and Virginia (Grettell Valdez), Emiliano's cousins who were adopted by the elder Prado Castelo. Martín is struck by Veronica's beauty and her force of character. He is not, however, her only admirer: Emiliano has returned with the intention of marrying her, having loved her since childhood - not realizing the one who is obsessed with him is Virginia.
Little by little Martin falls in love with Verónica but believes the lies Virginia tells about her, including that she had caused Demetrio to fall in love and had then abandoned him….

Part 1:
• While Mateo eagerly initiates his mulligan mating with true love Abigail (having just confessed that he’s as virginal as she because he’s never truly made love to any woman before her), The Spurned One, aka Diana, continues her harangue to Fausto insisting that Mat and Abi are long-time lovers and a waste of his pussy-whipped time and efforts.
Them’s fightin’ words of course and Feisty warns Di not to get in his way. Anybody who does gets trampled on. Best for her to take her man and skedaddle on out of that hacienda pronto! (What needs to skedaddle is that exaggerated A/M love-theme extreme!)

Lo Imperdonable-Index
Friday, May 01, 2015
Amores con trampa #25 Alcohol turns people around... makes some sick while it brings the dark side in others
At the club, Yoya is confused, she never thought Diego would really be interested in her. Diego forces a kiss on her just in time for Frances to bring in Feli to see them. Feli looks angry but doesn't do anything. Diego gets them all to sit together only for Yoya to have to watch Francis kissing Feli all over.
Beto rants at Gallo about letting Yoya go with that 'pelafustan' (jerk)... Gallo is hessitant to do anything, says 'she looked so pretty!'... Maria also says 'you know Yoya...' (meaning Yoya is very stubborn) Perpetua says the same. Porfirio just wants to watch tele... Beto insists they have to go get Yoya. Gallo says lets wait till she calls again. Beto insists, gets louder... says Diego is not that 'straight/proper'. He tells them Diego is using Yoya to get back at him for taking Rocio away. Porfirio yells that the Carmonas are 'straight' and they have to show that 'tipo' (Diego) that he has to be 'straight' with them. Beto insists they have to go get her. Gallo and Maria and grandma worried, Grandpa looks a bit boozed up to really have any say or thought on the subject.
At club, Diego manages to turn off Yoya's cell phone (so the Carmonas can't call her). She is spitting/(barfing?) on him, feeling bad for all the booze she has had. She faints in Feli's arms... He tries to get her to respond.
At the Carmonas, Gallo is getting ansi by now... Porfirio thinks they are talking about killing a pig to make Carnitas... they explain its about Diego... Porfirio repeats one of his classics 'that is not good/right'. Then Maria uses this situation to repeat her whinning about 'i wanted to go back to the fields'.
Back at the club, this is all turning totally 180 degrees from what Diego and Francis wanted. far from turning to Frances, Feli still has Carmen in his arms and is really concerned about her, yells at Diego for letting her drink... Yoya is beginning to respond... but bends over when she sees she is in Feli's arms. Feli yells at Francis to take her to ladies room, Francis looks like she would rather peel a whole sack of potatoes than do that...
Isa calls Esteban and threatens him that if he is lying to her about Estefi and Santi NOT being together, he will be sorry. He hangs up with Isa and it turns out Stefi is there with him... he warns Stefi that Isa is more dangerous than she seems. He leaves, Stefi seems to have taken that warning more as a dare from the facial expression she puts...
Back to the club... In ladies room, Francis tells Yoya that she and Feli saw her kissing Diego... she even took pictures. Francis suggests Yoya keep Diego who is free... and assures her she doesn't even exist for Feli. Francis comes out of ladies room... tells Diego the kiss he gave Yoya was not enough, he has to do his 'thing' with her on the way to take her home... Diego protests, that was not the plan, he does not even want anyone seeing him with Yoya.
In a flash, Diego and Yoya arrive at the Carmona's driveway... Diego tells Yoya he is beginning to like her for real (yeah right!... well, there is a chance he really means this) and kisses her again just in time for Beto and Gallo to see them... Beto goes irate, he wants to beat Diego to a pulp, but Gallo sends him with Yoya to go in the house and warns Diego that if he touched even a hair of Yoya he will be the one to hunt down (no stone unturned) and beat/kill Diego.
