La Sombra del Pasado #68 5/21/15
As I usually do , I'm skipping right to the new. And I might make heavy use of the RPC (Recapper's Privilege Card) tonight along with some scene combining.
Severiano(Sev) grabs Sim/Viv by the hair and drags her out to the street. He throws her out of the house and tells her never to come back. He tells her to go back to San Miguel or wherever the hell she wants to go. When she begs to at least be allowed to get her things. Sev reminds her that he paid for all her things. He throws money at her and tells her that all he pay for is her bus fare. (Now, I'm thinking this a pretty public scene. Are people in SL just so afraid of him that they wouldn't dare comment on it? This is perfect material for the gossip capital of the word, don't you think?) Sev gets in his truck and drives away, leaving Sim to snivel on the sidewalk.
Lola is surprised to see Irma at the shop. Irma felt she needed to keep busy so she wouldn't think about Abelardo. Irma knows that time will cure her pain...or she'll at least get accustomed to it. Lola tells her that her abuela always says: "Al borrego trasquilado, Diosito le mide el frío." (I can't easily find a quick translation, but basically God won't give you more than you can take. Literally to the sheared sheep, God takes considers the cold for him….He won't make it too cold for the sheared sheep. I'm sure there's some fascinating agricultural history behind it.) Irma asks about why Lola is there and when Lola explains about having to see someone, Irma convinces her to spill the beans. Irma seems shocked by the news Sim was actually Lola's mom.

La Sombra del Pasado #67 - Wed 5/20 - More cryin' and lyin'
Aldonza finally gets escorted out of Cris' cell.
Per Mel: since Sev is out of town, Soletario hasn't been sold yet. Emmanuel is prepared to go to Severiano as soon as he's back in town to make him an offer he can't refuse. Melesio advises him not to do it RIGHT when Sev gets back into town or it might end up backfiring. Yeah, what with all the other stuff he'll have to deal with.

Lo Imperdonable #3 Wed 5/20/15 “Chance Encounters and Fast Friendships Set the Wheels in Motion For the Start of Our Love/Hate Saga”
Once he gets Sanson to calm down, Martin turns and asks
Veronica if she is ok. Their eyes lock
and she smiles softly, barely giving him a glimpse of her dimples. After the requisite several seconds of
staring at each other, he takes Veronica’s hand and asks if it hurts. She says except for the rope burn on her
hand, she is fine. She smiles again,
thanks him and says he is “her hero”. He
continues staring at her. They talk
briefly about her over-confidence in handling Sanson. Vero’s friend Mariana runs up to ask if she
is ok. Martin turns and introduces
himself to her, but just as Mariana is about to tell him Vero’s name, the tour
guide rudely interrupts and asks if they can continue their tour, thus
depriving Martin of his first chance to find out Vero’s name.
Alfredo meets Martin at the club so he can sign some
important papers. He is glad to hear
that Martin wants to join the club and notes that going there and meeting new
people, like the girl with the dark hair he just saw him with, will help
distract him and raise his spirits.
Martin smiles and turns, wistfully glancing in the direction where Vero
headed off with Mariana, then saying to his friend: “Yes,
she is very beautiful. She made a big
impression on me…..But now I can only think about one woman, the one
responsible for my brother’s death.
That’s why I came to this club, to get close to the Prado Castelos….To
avenge my brother’s death.” (Despite
a lack of storm clouds, we hear another lightning strike. “El cirquero” Mejia strikes again!!!!)

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 85- The Life-counseling Club opens its door's - Highlights
Schoolwork has been a dime and it's getting late around here so i will put up the highlights :
- Diego has been injured badly as his wounds mark the name "Satan" all over the place ( I mean seriously the slash and brash scene was extremely violent, Faust just can't get the Karma of Dios any sooner). Fortunately the fast & furious Max & Abi arrive at the scene. Abi would like to report to the only god-forsaken authority available in town , Barragan but Diego refused. Max brought the soon - to- be - retired Mel ( But not before Mel thought Max came to him for Lucio's salvation) for help & Diego slips to Mel that the one who made holy turkeys out of him was none other than Faust. Diego promises that he shall become the jury- judge- executioner against the Feisty Reptile!
- Renata has just shared her life haunting experience with Helena& Simona shocked to all ears as Ren mutters at last " Abi's NOT my goddaughter, she's my daughter for Christ's sake! " Of course our two lovely women just about experienced the same things in their lives so they decide to focus on consoling Ren instead of raising barrels & flags, good friends i must say . Ren informs Ele & Sim that her dad was nothing but short of an ogre who has caused her daunting pain cause she profoundly loved a peon but the peon is now dead as bonkers ( I don't know why Ele & Sim are complaining , least they don't have to pay child support to anyone well atleast not yet. They are not in the same lucky category as Malaria who only lives to extort ) We also don't have shortage of mother of the year speeches in this episode in order to make Ren feel better ( I admit some speeches almost moved me to tears but no action is getting old fast and i truly hate the fact that Ren's still blind .) Also later on a bench in a church Ren counsels Ele to meet some love too , Barragan is the perfect candidate but Ele refuses because the calamity of their pasts would only serve to doom them. She also learns that Pab was Bar's son, responding with pity
- Pat went to look for Ren at the hacienda but Faust invited him to take a drink instead to have a little conversation. I don't remember correctly but i think Faust was quite gleeful at the thought of Pat boinking his wife ( This romance is tearing my mind , just give us a real love story already. It's like we have close to no happy couples in this novela cause endless depression , unrequited love , money- hoeing, lying & pretending must be the motto of life in this mugroso town seriously the most happy person in this novela is Meliton who is Pro Herbalife yet doesn't smoke weed) . FACT : This town lacks Jesus!

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo 66, 05-20-2015.
Recap courtesy of HellaShelle
Here’s a quick and dirty recap, so ppl can talk. I’ll try to submit a clean, more detailed one later.
A furious Candela tells Simoneta to have Sev call her when he gets back. Sim has the nerve to look confused when Cande hangs up on her, even though she pretty much just told the woman that she’s her husband’s mistress.
Renato wants Silvia to know that he wants her to be a partner in the business, not just an employee, but if their past will be a problem, she should say so now. She’s kind of doubtful about the whole plan. It sounds good, but unnecessarily complicated what with basing themselves in SL rather than DF just Because of Aldonza! She tells Renato he’s not in love, he’s obsessed. Renato says he’s holding on to his slim hope regardless and he doesn’t want to change.

Lo Imperdonable #2 Tue 5/19/15 “From Oaths of Vengeance to Love at First Sight: Martin’s Heart Prepares to Run the Gamut of Emotions”
We start where we left off – with Martin at his brother’s
graveside, in the pouring rain, his raw emotions a mix of profound grief and
even deeper rage, screaming, asking his brother to give him the name of the
woman who took his life, then swearing to him that he will discover the name of
that woman, that he will follow the trail of the Prado Castelos, and that once
he finds her….that woman will SUFFER.
(Cue another lightning strike and more ominous choir music.) Martin slumps onto his brother’s grave and
cries uncontrollably, while we see flashbacks of him proudly watching his younger
brother (the only family he had) graduating from college with honors.

Lo Imperdonable #1 Mon 5/18/15 The Heart of Darkness
Row!
The men steer the open boat down the river, cascades and lush green expanses all around them. The slender man, the only one not rowing and clearly an outsider, spots a gorgeous snake coiled around a tree on the shore. He takes a handwritten letter from his pocket and glances at it.
Ride!
A lovely, smiling girl – Verónica – rides an equally lovely (and probably smiling) white horse.
Make Whoopee!
Jorge and Salma snuggle in bed. If this were the sixties, they would be lighting cigarettes right now.
But on the River...
The sky turns gray and menacing, the water turbulent. Lightning flashes in the sky.

If you can't have them, frame them for murder! La Sombra Del Pasado #65 05/18/2015
This was a hard episode for me to sit through, I have a hard time watching tv/movies where someone dies and last night's episode just about did me in, below you'll find the recap but with less of the usual snark.
Aldonza gives Renato instructions to stop the investigation into who burned down her apartment, she does not want to cause more pain to the Lagos family. Renato agrees and later calls the detective working the case to tell him that they want the matter dropped. Renato will also be going back to umm is the town Santa Lucia? Gah, it's only Tuesday and my brain is fried!
Later in the episode the dream team (that's what I'm calling Pato, Silvia and Renato) lease the house where they will open up their office, they will also be living there, which is pretty cool because that house looks awesome.

Amores con trampa #36 and #37 5/18/15 and 5/19/15
It's another week with the Carmonas...and it's also finals week for me. I still have some exams to grade, so the recap will be short and sweet. I hope you all don't mind (and don't mind filling in where needed.)
I'm doing lots of scene combining tonight!
Isa threatens to turn Beto in for kidnapping. Facundo grabs her phone and tells Beto to scram! Facundo assures Isa that if Rocio is with Beto, she is well taken care of. Isa takes the opportunity to tell Fac that she loves him. She asks if he didn't feel anything when they kissed each other? He reminds her that SHE kissed HIM and no, he didn't feel anything. When he looks at her, he is afraid. She's a bruja(witch) and evil. She's worse than carne de puerco(pig meat)...and he apologizes to the animals for comparing her to them. After he leaves Isa snivels that she wants to change her cold and calculating heart and that Facundo is the only person that can help her do that.

- Chava is freaking out about finding Sophia. He is harassing poor Fuzzy Tavarez.
- Meanwhile, Armando is trying to convince Regina that Peralta is not the fine upstanding citizen that he portrays. Regina's getting a fine upstanding paycheck from him, so she's going to be a hard sell.
- Speaking of the devil, Peralta is out on his yaght enjoying libations with Mike Stone (the American, who speaks english with a thick Mexican accent)...OK who in the hell is Mike Stone? I don't remember him or wasn't paying attention. Anyways, Peralta and Ricardo...(who in the hell is Ricardo?) accuse Mike Stone of double crossing them about the buying product from other dealers. Mike throws in an English word every once in a while and swears that he did not double cross them. Anyways, Ricardo shoots Mike in the chest and he falls FACE DOWN into the middle of the ocean. Theoretically, one would believe that if the bullet wound doesn't kill him, he will drown. More about that later.

La Sombra del Pasado #64 Friday, 5-15-15
Good Evening, Peeps!
Well, I thought I’d lighten the mood a little bit here on the
patio with our beloved Casa de Caramelos, The Candy House! You’ll see why. Let’s get right to it! This was a rapid fire episode (no pun
intended) with lots of jumping around.
We have a brief rewind of the biddie and bile (Val) attack
in the plaza. Aldonza goes upside Vale’s
head – WHOP!! – and tells her she’d better back down before she gets smacked
down - again. Vale tries to play hurt
for the biddies.
Over at Las Animas Cande tells Sev he MUST come home! Their grown son needs his diaper changed and
she doesn’t want Aldonza doing it! Hell
no, there’s lots of moola in play with
his horsey deal. He hangs up on her. Simonetta/Viviana (S/V) is with him, he
scoffs that she wouldn’t understand these situations with kids, not having
any. S/V tells Sev she DOES have a child
and he doesn’t care about her life. He
tells her to shut it and don’t start with her drama!

Amores con Trampa #35 Facundo tries and keeps on trying to avoid trouble but he seems to be a magnet for it
Out of control, Santee fires Esteban in his house
in front of Isabel
Outside Gallo, Gusana and Jacinto see Esteban get
in his car… he looks down/upset.
Santee and Isabel in their bedroom, he is still
outraged that Isa did not tell him Esteban was interested in her… She claims
she would never pay attention to Esteban. She tries to walk away while he is
still outraged, he won’t let her. But
she is not willing to tell him her secret… (she thinks noone will know..)
Fac, Gusana and Jacinto approach Esteban at his
car window, Esteban tells them Santee fired him. Gallo says maybe its better
for anyone to stay away from ‘those’.
(Jacinto, Gallo and Gusana keep whispering in each other’s ear and it
sounds like it is birds chirping loudly)
Beto and Rocio are talking outside at Tia Clarita’s
house. Rocio is asking him for explanations about the appearance and attitude
of his ‘ex’ ‘Meche’. (Tia Clarita is
arguing with her pig, who is also named Clarita). Poor Beto, now Tia Clarita
also wants explanations… Seems ‘Meche’
has such a reputation of revolting/tough character.
Gallo and Esteban come back in the office… Gallo
has a new bug to place in Santee’s hair… he has just named Esteban his personal
lawyer… Gallo wants to twist the knife ‘how does that feel?’ Santee starts yelling “GET OUT!!!” but noone
moves…
Back at the Carmona house, the grandma and
grandpa are arguing, as always. Gallo
arrives home. HE is happy (still
enjoying the blow he served Santee). He
has good news for Maria. She wants to
know if its Beto coming back. Not quite.
HE just hired Esteban to work for him at the office. Grandpa celebrates
loudly, then asks ‘what was the good news?’ LOL!! Maria and Grandma don’t quite
see the ‘good’ in the news. Gallo explains that the ‘good’ was the look in
Santee’s face… he turned red as a lobster!
At school, Diego catches up with Carmen. She is having mixed feelings about the photo
shoot session.
Francis comes and confronts Carmen… now that Feli
and I will have a baby, you better butt out. Then Francis keeps the offenses
telling that a cavegirl that smells like pigs would take Feli from her. Of
course this was enough for Carmen to lose her cool so she slaps Francis right
as Feli is arriving, so he questions what Carmen did (slap Francis) since
Carmen knows that Francis is pregnant.

Que Te Perdone Dios #83 – Abi Still Wants to Marry Her Uncle, Renata Wants to Give Him Half of the Inheritance, and Fausto Wants to Kill Him. And He and Benito Get Fired.
At the funeral home, Amanda explains to Diego that nobody
told him the truth because it wasn’t their secret to tell, it was Vicenta’s.
And Vicenta didn’t tell because she didn’t want Diego to think his mom was a ho
with the patrón, and to stain Diego’s memory of her. Having everybody believe
that Diego was entering into an incestuous marriage with Abigail was Vicenta’s
way of “honoring” her daughter’s memory, I suppose.
New: Vicenta is put into the ground with strange African drums
and wails as background music. The music was intense, but out of place in
little Real de San Andrés. I have no idea why, in this class- conscious nook of
the world, members of ‘high’ society have turned out for the funeral of this
servant. Even Eduviges, who has been so cruel to Motor, is there to pay her respects
to the Hacienda’s chief vegetable peeler. Everyone attending the hija de la
criada’s wedding was a stretch (because the groom was a dyed in the wool peon),
but at least there was the Renata connection. Not so here. Anyway, Max steps up
to Diego for some recognition for having saved his life, and gets a nod. Pan
over the black-clad crowd to Abi. If the ceremony had been carried out, would
she and Diego still have celebrated their wedding night what with Vicenta being
assassinated and all?

5/14 #190 Hasta el Fin del Mundo - Lucas gets a new luke, whatever
This is my last recap
for this TN. It’s been a hoot! I’ve actually enjoyed this one. Even though the storylines often didn’t make
sense, it sure gave us a lot to talk about.
Depa de Isadora
Gerry has delivered the Injection of Doom. He and Aldo.2 leave Isadora out cold on the
floor. Oliver arrives, suitcases and
all. He finds his mother dead to the
world. He receives a call from Daddy
Dearest and cries as he tells him he’s afraid mums is dead! Gerry tells him to remain calm and he’ll be
right over.
Later, Gerry has arrived with the good Doctor Santivañes. Oliver is frantic and doesn’t understand why
Morgana wasn’t there but Gerry explains it was her day off. Doctor reports Isadora is dead from a heart
attack. Oliver can’t understand. She’d never complained of a heart
problem. Doc explains this happens
suddenly sometimes, with no warning.
Gerry thanks the doc, asking him to complete his duties and Gerry will
take care of the rest. Ollie weeps over his
mother.
Depa de Irais
Matias cooks for his chocolatito bonbón. They make plans for
a family with children and dogs…..zzzzz

I want an inflatable Val doll that you slap and it pops back up for more slapping.

Patricio, Alone with
his thoughts
“That old ‘Zorro’ did
all this on purpose to bury me, and I fell in his trap like an imbecile. And now I’m gonna have to pay for his
crimes. ¡Maldita sea!”
Casa de Armando
Nandito prays while we hear “Ave Maria” in the background as
Armando looks on. Oh brother.
Penthouse del Perdición
– Dulliver grows a pair
Geronimo wonders when Oliver left the office. Oliver explains he went to see Dani and then
stopped by to see his mother. He’s happy
to say she’s no longer drinking and is in a support group. Geronimo immediately pounces – She’s not to
be trusted. Isadora’s will power is very
weak. Well, Oliver has a lot of
confidence in her. He sensed a great
determination on her part never to drink again.
Geronimo scoffs and admires his optimisim. But this is not Isa’s first attempt at
sobriety. She’ll soon break her resolve
and return to drinking with more gusto!
Oliver finally stands up to his dad, “From this point on, when you speak
of my mother, you do it in a more respectful tone. Even though you are separated, I hoped we
could be a family. Nothing would make me
happier than to see my parents live in harmony.” But Dad thinks that’s impossible. He’ll always see Isadora as a sick person, a
parasite who lives only on what he gives her.
She doesn’t inspire any respect in him.

La Sombra del Pasado #62 - Wed 5/13 - Longest bus ride ever
Lola runs into Emmanuel after his confrontation with the doc. He tells her he's not Humberto's son, but he did learn something important…there is something turbio (shady) going on as concerns his parents. *cough*thisonegotallthesmarts*cough* Lola recommends a manita de puerco (twisting his arm) and offers to help, but if Doc was going to give up the goods, he would have done it already. Em is going to start investigating, but he's got bigger fish to fry at the moment…Solitario is being sold off and he's determined to buy him! Mari's going to get her daddy to give him a loan or something. Lola doesn't buy that--nor I! Em tilts Lola's face to look in her eyes and asks if she's jealous. Lola denies it, huffily and walks away, also huffily.
Uriel gave Irma a pill and some tea and she's finally resting. He asks Mari how she's doing with Emmanuel. She brings up the "favor" of a loan for…well, it's complicated…there's a horse. Uriel says Emmanuel would need collateral, and no, they won't accept the horse as a guaranty. Uriel knows what "Don" Sev's horses tend to go for and he thinks Emmanuel needs to start with an economy horse rather than a luxury model. Since batting her eyelashes has been unsuccessful at getting Uriel to change his mind, Mari is outta there with a swish of her ponytail.
