Lo Imperdonable #58 Thu 8/6/15 She's alive! She's alive! But she's not too bright, is she?


In Mexico City

Old lovers - hard not to shake with disgust
Malena and Botel find a creepy doll in the coffin. Does that mean that her daughter is alive ? Estas viva, Veronica ?
Back at the hotel, everyone congratulates Malena for how well she’s taking the news. Botel is the one who looks rather shaken up, so Malena herself suggests he should go for a walk, relax. Botel and the PI leave, after deciding that they would resume the search and this time they will force the truth out of Clemente and will involve the authorities, too.
Left alone, Malena, who is everything but calm, wonders if Aaron knows where little Veronica might be. Just then, he calls her, asking her to join him. She refuses, demands a proof that their daughter is alive.

La Sombra del Pasado #122 (Mx 125) Thursday 8/6 Check Out The Junk In Her Trunk*

*This title inspired by doris

My cat is sick. He's been to the vet and he's not acting any better. I am in spaz mode right now and I really didn't pay close attention to the episode. Here's what I remember (in no particular order.) I will come back in the morning with a real recap.


Aldonza does not shoot Sev. I guess I should be glad about that since protagonistas don't murder, but I wouldn't have held it against her. She was in a church though...so yeah...bad.

Hum is one hell of a general practitioner. He's performed surgery (amputation, vascular surgery) and now he's participating in Adelina's autopsy. I am pleasantly surprised that they are able to determine that Adelina's death was a homicide. There were no traces of pills in her stomach. It must have been injected. I seem to recall it was ácido bariburico. It's like Ley y Orden exploded all over SL.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 17 Wed 8/5/15 Oh sweetie you don˝t believe in Clowns?


( Some scenes may merged out of context. Also there are some issues with quotes since I have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I really like it but it messed up my keyboard preferences a bit.)



Recap:

MD is at Dan¨s house looking for him but Isidro The Handmaiden tells her that Dan cannot be found, she should ask Uncle Google . Ursula comes instead and MD was about to leave but Ursula tells her to stay. Isidro leaves and MD now alone with Snobby Mom returns Ursie  the money that Dan borrowed for the sewing bar.  Ursie accuses her of chasing Dan like a dog but MD says that Dan was the one who defrauded her trust.  She is giving Ursie  the money because she´s happy that she got liberated from her creepy ass scum of a boyfriend.  


Isela surprises her molested best friend Orlando and uses her new work as an excuse to ignore him. She also has to pay the bills to the house since MD is without a job ya know. But Orlando is not pleased because Josefa will never agree with their cough cough "friendship".  The shop assistant comes and Orlando tells him that he came to buy a sewing machine but Isela also wishes to see the beds for their new house. Ugh yeah right.

Yo no Creo en Los Hombres #16 Tue 8/4/15 She had to find out sometime

Sorry this is so late! I have no excuses, I just forgot. This recap is essentially me recapping as I watch using my handy-dandy laptop, so bear with me if it's a little unpolished. There's also probably scenes I missed while I was typing other scenes up, so fill in as needed! At least I have a full recording this time!

Lo Imperdonable #57 Wed 8/5/15 Filler, Filler, Filler, And What's In The Casket?

Filling in for LatinaInMD 

Magdalena lies to Botel and tells him that she had a drink because she was very nervous. He tells her mixing booze and medication is a big no no. She promises it won't happen again. He wants her to be OK and to work on her fear of the outdoors. She promises that little by little she'll be able to handle it. She hugs him tight and wishes she could always be in his arms. He notes that she talks as if she's about to disappear from his life which won't ever happen. 

Pierre and Pablo chat. Pablo is all smiles -- he's never been soooo happy and thinks that Mina Escondida is a paradise. Pierre thinks the same. Daniel and Matilde show up. Daniel introduces Matilde to Pablo. More chit chat that was pointless. Matilde doesn't like that her niña's hubby yelled at her. But Pablo tells her that Marty is a good man and was probably just desperate because of the situation with Vero (Side note: Yeah because that excuses him behaving like a big fat jerk...NOT). Vero wheels in (thanks Eli!) and tells Pierre that Marty wants to speak to him. Pierre goes to see him (and makes a face of either fear or "I'm not in the mood for his crap!"). 

Marty apologizes to Pierre for his jealous snit from before and accepts that Pierre is not to blame for his problems with Vero. Pierre hopes his apology is sincere and that he's not apologizing because Vero asked him too. How does Marty respond to this? By basically telling Pierre that yeah he IS only apologizing to him because Vero asked him too. Jerk. He goes on to tell Pierre that he doesn't like him being near Vero. He does accept though that he can't boss Vero around but lets Pierre know that he'll be close to Vero. So he wants the room close to hers like he had asked. Pierre will give him the room. Pierre assures Marty that he's a gentlemen and would never ever get in between a marriage BUT in the end the women are the ones who choose. (Side Note: Is Pierre basically saying that he'd go after Vero if she was free? So much for his LOVE for Claudia.)

La Sombra del Pasado #121 (Mx 124) - Wed 8/5 - Everybody cries

Em is having coffee with Vero and Don Ant.  They won't let him take off in the middle of the night alone--they're going with him, just as soon as they're all packed.

Cris asks Don Camilo to call Padre J as Aldonza is still crying and rocking Adelina's body.

Lola visits Padre J to see how Em's doing, but he's left already.  Lola throws a tantrum.  I agree Em is sad and shouldn't be alone, but he'll be with Don Ant and Vero.  Padre J doesn't seem to know that, but he thinks a little solitude would do Em some good.  The phone call from Don Camilo interrupts them.  Cara de impactado de Padre J!  And a "!no puede ser!" into the bargain.  He tells Lola that Adelina is dead.

Lo Imperdonable #56 Tue 8/4/15 Veronica makes her escape!

Bullets!

  • Bad Marty makes Vero cry by telling her he is tired of having to beg for forgiveness, he gives up and won't bother her any more (wanna bet that's not true?)
  • In Mexico Aaron continues his emotional torture of Maggie, he tells her he lied about their daughter being dead in order to make her suffer for dumping his sorry butt and running away with Botel. *I HATE AARON!*
  • Bad Marty brings Matilde to look after Veronica and then gets angry when Vero accuses him of doing it only to make himself feel less guilty.
  • Along with Matilde a neurologist comes along and examines Vero, he is surprised to hear that Dr.Feelgood has been keeping her sedated but proclaims the young Doc did a good job.
  • In Mexico Claudia visists Ginny and tells her she's there to see Emi, over coffee she shares that Marty fired her, Ginny blames this on Vero always getting what she wants from men, and tells Claudia that she and Emi are novios.

La Sombra del Pasado #120 (Mx 123) - Tue 8/4 - Red dress blues

And a little bit of recapper blues!  I think your team is running ragged, but we are nothing if not dedicated.  Here's a quick and dirty rundown of last night, condensed for space…

Pru is frantically searching for the cell phone, which Juana obligingly hands over.  Thanks, Juana

Silvia is still recovering, and very well, and she's allowed to go home.  Renato gets an eye- and ear-full of her giddily hugging Tomas, kissing him, and telling him that YES, she wants him to stay with her night and day, forever and ever.  She also makes him promise not to go after Pru.

Do what you gotta do, bro La Sombra Del Pasado 119 (Mx 122) 08/03/2015

Hello my peeps, here is your recap!

When trying to bribe someone goes wrong:

Severiano is acting like a creeper and hiding in the shadows waiting for the , eh, what is he? Detective, ministerio publico, police officer? Sev tells the officer that he wants to know what he needs to do in order to get his gun back, the officer says it's simple: All he has to do is wait for Adriano's trail to be over. Sev says  he would be willing to give the good officer a very good compensation for his help. The officer wants to know how much Sev is willing to pay and Sev says that that's up to him (the officer).

Officer: "Well, I can tell you're terrified that we will match the bullets found in Raymundo's body to your gun"
Sev:" No, that's not the case at all, that's just one more story made up by that crazy woman. I don't even think the bullets came from the body, who knows where she got them from, so what do you say, will you help me get back the gun?"
Officer: I'm sorry but your offer doesn't interest me Mr. Mendoza, in fact  I don't have the gun any more, I recommend you try to bribe the judge, maybe you'll have better luck with him. Good night

Sev is left with his mouth hanging open, it was AWESOME.

Lo Imperdonable #55 Mon 8/3/15 You won't have Crazy Marty to kick around anymore!

Crazy Marty has left the building.  
In his stead, he has left Good Marty, the loving husband who checks his ego at the door and takes care of Vero's needs while expecting nothing in return.  Well, almost nothing.

Good Marty promises Vero that he will take her to her family in Mexico as soon as she is well enough to travel.  Vero listens silently.  That's not enough for Marty.  He wants to hear her say he has made her happy.  She's glad, she says finally, looking absolutely miserable.  She doesn't want to be a continuing burden to everyone – to Ana Perla, to Blanquita, and most of all, to him. 

She asks him to leave her alone so she can go to sleep.  But as soon as he is gone, she starts to cry.  Has he finally taken her at her word?  Has she driven him away? Even though getting free of Crazy Marty made perfect sense, she's not sure that divorcing Good Marty will make her happy.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #15 Lunes 8/3/15



Chapter 15: Another Game of Telephone

Maria Dolores arrived at Max's office and told him off for thinking she was pursuing Daniel for his money. She told him that Daniel had misrepresented himself as a chauffeur while all the time he was the spoiled son of the employing family. But that now his family was broke. Max wasn't quite ready to believe that although he didn't accuse Maria Dolores of lying. He knew Daniel was a player of some kind. He then said he would talk to Maleny about this since she was Daniel's sister. Maria Dolores' cell rang and she answered. It was Esperanza, who told her about what happened to her shop. She told her she would be right there. When she ended the call she almost broke down. Max held her for a moment and asked if she wanted him to take her to the police station to report it. She said “Thanks but no thanks” and headed out the door.

Amores con trampa #90 and #91 Monday 8/3/15 & Tuesday 8/4/15

Right to the new!

I did combine some scenes.

Francis jumps into Diego’s car without an invitation...and refuses to leave. It seems she took a picture of an extra special page in Carmen’s diary. It describes Carmen’s perfect date. Francis thinks this is how Diego can win Carmen’s affections. ¡Ay de mí! I don’t trust her! Don’t listen Diego. But what if it’s legit info? You could still win Carmen’s affections! But is that fair to Feli? Please stop messing with my head, show! Diego does wonder if it’s really a page from Carmen’s diary. Francis thinks he should be able to recognize his beloved’s handwriting. She leaves the page with him and encourages him to read it and take advantage.

La Vecina-Highlights and Discussion #30-34 August 3-7

Some Housekeeping Notes
This is my last week of vacation before I go back to work full time August 10. From now on I will be scheduling a post for every Monday at 2PM EST.

I will have recaps this week, but I can't make any guarantees about the future until Amores con trampa ends. I'm not above shameless begging. Have you ever thought about recapping? This might be the perfect place to give it a try. It's a smaller "venue" and even if it's just highlights and jokes about Simon's rocket, you will have the eternal thanks of the patio. Even if it's just once or twice. You don't have to commit to a long time period. Week by week is fine. Piénsalo, ok? I'm sure we can make this work and keep it going.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Cap 14, Fri July 31, 2015- Puppy-Dog Eyes Dan is a Scumbag and Jacinto is Evil Sherlock Holmes or, If It Wasn’t For Bad Luck, Maria Delores Wouldn’t Have Any Luck

Recap by J desde NYC

Some scenes out of order, as per usual

Jacinto follows Daniel and takes pictures even as Ari watches him suspiciously and asks him whom he seeks.  Sayeth Jacinto: “What does it matter to you?”

Max offers to help Honoria get Julian out of his prison jam. Honoria is grateful and tells him Fermin is out of his coma and ready to testify (declarar).  Maria Delores shows up and even as Honoria gives her the stink-eye and tells her not to come visiting her son, MD insists on waiting in line to visit Julian, too.  Max looks on with a combination of admiration for MD and sadness, clearly believing the lies perpetrated against our beleaguered protagonista.

Lo Imperdonable #53-54 Thu 7/30/15-Fri 7/31/15 We Are Stuck In A Rut It Seems

Greetings Everyone! I don't know what happened with Thurs recap but I have added a quick recap of what happened on Thurs as well as my regular Fri recap.

Thurs: 


 * Marty watches as Vero sleeps. She wakes up. "Good Morning, mi amor" he tells her. She tells him that she's not his "amor" anymore and she doesn't like it when she watches him sleep. (What would she think if she finds out he was kissing all over her while she was asleep) He tells her that he loves seeing her beautiful face in the morning. He gives her a flower that is her favorite. She doesn't want it. He promises that he'll bring her one every morning until she accepts it. (More on this later..) 

*  Botel is sad over seeing Magda so depressed. Botel blames himself. Dr. Del Rio tells Botel that he has to have patience. Botel hopes Dr. can help her. Dr. understand Botel's desperation. And yes, they do need to find something that makes Magda get out of her depression. 

* A depressed Magda lays in her hotel bed. Cell phone rings. She doesn't answer. 

* Ana Perla and Old Goat talk about Manuel. Old Goat is worried about him. Ana Perla is hurt by what happens to her brother. But she doens't want Old Goat to suffer over Manuel's crap. It pisses Ana Perla off that Manuel didn't change even after he was locked up. Ana Perla reminds the Old Goat that he has to take care of himself. He assures her that he'll be fine. She tells him that even though he seems grumpy he's a good man. She tells him that he worries about Manuel despite how rude he was with him and all the horrible things he said.

La Sombra del Pasado #118 (Mx 121) 7-31-15 Emanuel FINALLY gets a hug!


Greetings, my dear friends!  Let’s jump right into our story.  Yesterday we ended with a cowardly, yet bold,  broad daylight attack on our beloved Silvia, right in the town square!  It was very shocking and painful for me last night and is no less so twenty four hours later!  Silvia screams and cries in pain for help as a waiter at one of cafes runs up and offers his apron and assures her the police have been called!

At this moment, Padre is with Eman offering him words of comfort and encouragement:  He is not the son of Severiano Mendoza, he is a child of God!   Essentially he tells him that Sev’s being his sperm donor is an unfortunate circumstance of destiny, perhaps a painful accident, but no more than that:  he should be proud of being Emanuel, only Emanuel because before God, none of us have a last name.  Padre leaves and Eman struggles but gives in to racking sobs.

Across town Prudencia confirms what I suspected.  Wearing a flaming red cape over black pants and top she answers the door and lets in the two scumbags who attacked Silvia.  They give her Silvia’s phone and show her a brief video they made of the attack.  Pru drunkenly chortles, tells them they did a good job and pays them.  Prudencia.  Enter thou the gates of hell!

Amores con Trampa #89 Never mind an Eye for an Eye... a Lie for a Lie...will whoever is NOT LYING to anyone step forward??


Ok I was able to run this recap through before heading to church to help out. Here it goes...
Facu starts shouting and ranting about what he came home to find… first victim is Beto… he left him ‘in charge!’  then he wonders what Andres (Diego’s brother) is there… he points at Susana who instantly says ‘who, me??’  Facu yells for ‘Yoya’ (Carmen) but she won’t come downstairs… Maria and Facu have some news… Porfirio correctly guesses that they all are heading back home to the country.  Facu says that’s it!! After Perpetua rants at Porfirio to not get too far ahead and let them announce the news. Indeed, that is the news! From Facu and Maria… We’re all headed home!! (scan around gives mixed reactions. Andres sad, Beto frozen, Perp Porf very happy. Jacinto is still processing the info.  Facu asks for more of a reaction. The only one to speak is Porfirio who could not be happier (he is looking forward to reunite with some lady he left behind…)  Jacinto finally is ready to report… he is surprised, more so than when he learned about quantum physics…  Facu suddenly gets the blues… he is regretting having brought them over to the city… he thought it was for their good… but he realizes now that there is nothing more important than the love of family.

Isa in bed wondering where her pills are… she looks around.  Tries to calm herself down… she needs her S.O.S. pills.  She tries to tell herself she can’t take any more pills.

Porfirio says the eggs taste better out there in the country.  (LOL!!)

Maria notices Beto is sad… Facu and Maria ask him… he says he doesn’t know what will happen with his studies/career.  Maria says there are colleges out there too…  and about Rocio… (she gives him a kiss on cheek and hug… to cheer him up… works to a degree.)  Facu is still celebrating, but still yelling ‘Yoya!!!’ 

Yoya is still trying to get Francis and Diego out of her room… Facu and Maria come over and Facu wonder what Carmen was doing in her room with Diego. Carmen asks her dad to trust her. Nothing!  Facu then turns to Diego, who assures him he really loves Carmen and was not doing anything to her. Facu warns him that if something happens to her…. Diego reassures him he respects her.
