La Sombra del Pasado #131 (Mx 134) - Wed 8/19 - Take this villain…no, please, take him!
Here we go, my final Sombra recap! Thank you to the entire recapping team for making this a fun experience, even when the show started to drag, and to the peeps on the patio for hanging in there with us and sharing your witty observations every day. Y'all make the work worth it! Now on with the show….
We get a recap of Sev committing almohadacide (thank you doris for that one!). The machines beep and Sev shouts for the doctor, who declares Humberto dead. No prob, Sev will tell the family. Pru gets the call from him just as Valeria is being perp walked through the streets of Santa Lucia. I'll spare you Sev's fake platitudes. Pru is so distraught she actually asks him for help with Val.
Amores con trampa #102 and #103 Wednesday and Thursday 8/19 and 8/20
The recap is provided by Jarifa today and tomorrow. Normally there is a fancy schmancy intro to her fabulous work, but ever since we started talking about coconut milk ice cream and coconuts in general I've had this song stuck in my head:
La Sombra del Pasado, Capítulo 130 (Mx 133): Little Ironies in the Night
You guys, it's been a pleasure. I've had such a great time recapping Sombra, I'm sorry to see it end. I want to thank the rest of the AMAZING recap team and everyone who sat on the Naughty Melon's patio for making my first recapping experience so awesome. For all of those reasons, and for all it's ridiculousness, I'm gonna miss this TN. On to the cap! (I'll edit later)
The Short of It: Everyone treads
water as they find out Hum’s condition (not good). Sev takes expected
advantage/action while Hum’s alone in the hospital. Pru and Val try to flee the
cops. Also, Joaq tells Flavia he wants a divorce.
Not home tonight, will watch and post a recap tomorrow. Scheduling this to go up right at 11:00 EDT so y'all have somewhere to discuss in the meantime. Hasta mañana!
Lo Imperdonable #65 Mon 8/17/15 You oughta be in pictures!
In which:
•Disgusting Aaron exchanges fire with a cop.Both are wounded and Aaron gets away.More vindictive than ever, he vows to kill Vero. •Poor sick Ginny seems to have Emi where she wants him... or does she? •Marty seems to have Vero where he wants her... or does he? •It's movie night in Mina Escondida – pass the popcorn! •And Nanciyaga STILL doesn't get it.
Jumping right in with the new stuff –
In Mexico City, the police send for reinforcements in the hopes of catching Disgusting Aaron (thanks, Mauricio!) when he comes looking for Magdalena at the hotel.
In Mina Escondida, Blanquita, Polo and Matilde join the picnickers. There are smiling introductions and hugs all around. Vero scratches inside her cast with a knitting needle – the itching is driving her nuts. (The knitting needle is getting so much play that I'm starting to believe it's part of the plot, like maybe Vero uses it to stab Manny in the eye the next time he drags his knuckles onto the screen.)
Sometimes
the truth can set one free. Right now it's just taking its time.

Chapter
25: Damage Control
An
unseen assailant knocked out the bricks holding up the car Leo was
working under. He shouted out in pain when the car fell on him.
Ivana
now had to deal with her meddling aunt. She told her that Maria
Dolores said that Daniel had no money. She demanded to know what
Susana knew. Susana took an “I told you so” attitude and said
she had proof. She played back the recording she made of the
conversation with Úrsula in which she had called her out on their
nouvelle probresse.
Amores con trampa #100 and #101 Monday and Tuesday 8/17 and 8/18
We had a Susana and a Margarito sighting tonight! Margarito has gotten pleasantly plump and Susana is still with the fists at the ready...just like Fac. I think that may have been the funniest fight scene I've ever seen.
Well, played show. You totally psyched me out! That whole scene with Conchita finding the envelope behind the painting of the Last Supper was a DREAM!!! Porfirio wakes up from his nightmare screaming “You found my secret!!” What could it be?
Isa catches herself singing the theme to AI3! Just like me! She sends Peloncha out to get the newspaper. Peloncha grumbles about how old fashioned it is to read the paper. People use their tablets these days. She looks up to see Porfirio. She’s afraid and prays that God take her away...but not to Saint Peter. Porfirio gets flirty. Peloncha intones “cruz cruz cruz que se vaya el diablo y que venga Jesús” (May the devil begone and Jesus come!) Conchita makes her way to the hedges...and she is not happy that Peloncha seems to be busting moves on her “territory.” Porfirio asks Peloncha if she’d like to make him a good hard-boiled egg. Cochita flounces away with Porfirio following.
TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: BAJO EL MISMO CIELO, EL SEÑOR DE LOS CIELOS 3, AVENIDA BRASIL, etc – week of August 17, 2015
Wow, things are busting out all over here. I'm not watching any of the current novelas so I was pretty surprised when I started reading the comments. All I can say is: try and have fun!

Do you stalk Caray, Caray! waiting for the next recap to post so you can find out whether you're the only one who noticed that thing...you know, the thing that happened, but it probably shouldn't have happened, because didn't they rule that out in episode 5?

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Cap 24, Fri August 14, 2015- Maria Dolores and Ivana Get Their Daniel is Wakeup Call; But Will They Hang Up on the Loser?
~~Recapped by JDesdeNYC~~ Scenes combined so as to not annoy the recapper and reader
To Tell the Truth
Susana tells an incredulous Gerry that Daniel has threatened to throw her out of Ivana’s house after he and Ivana marry. Susana says she has to play both sides; while she will continue to pretend to support the Dan-Ivana marriage to Dan’s face, she thinks it makes no sense for Ivana to marry that worm and find out later he fooled her. Gerry still plays the “they should marry for the sake of the baby” card and Ivana shows up. Susana leaves and Gerry finally breaks it to Ivana that Maria Dolores wasn’t some “fling” (aventura) for Daniel. Gerry saw MD come to the hospital, where Ivana was interned during her miscarriage scare, in her wedding gown looking for Daniel. Cara de impactada de Ivana.
Josefa still is angry and hateful towards Isela asking why she confirmed Honoria’s suspicion that she is messing around with Claudio. Josefa plans to get rid of Orlando once and for all so Isela can focus on the “Get Claudio” mission.
The Lying Santibanez Come to Blows
Alma reminds Claudio of his responsibility to the Santibanez family, as a close friend of the dead Daddy Santibanez, so he can take care of the Maleny/Dan abuse situation privately. Speaking of the devil Dan and Maleny argue about Max insisting on reporting Dan to the police. Maleny says of course she won’t report him but Dan insists Ari clarify and retract to Max that Dan physically abuses his sister. Maleny says Ari can’t do that and neither will Max believe her if she says the accusation is false. Mal says MD is going to run into Max’s arms as MD will not return to Dan after all the lies he has told. Dan says he’ll get MD back by telling her Mal was the one who got the fake judge for the civil wedding ceremony. An outraged Mal grabs Dan’s face and tells him no way she’ll allow Dan to lie on her like that. She will tell MD the whole truth because if Max leaves her, Dan won’t get to be with Maria Dolores. The siblings push and shove with Dan eventually actually abusing Maleny. The avenging Max sees the abuse firsthand and Dan only stops after Max sucker punches him. Max insists that Mal reports Dan to the police.
Lo Imperdonable #64 (Tel #65) Fri 8/14/15 The Return Of The Veronica Sketch
Vero wants to know what "secrets" Nanci is talking about. Marty lies to save his butt and claims that the "secrets" are the ones about 1. Dim being his brother and 2. that Dim took his life. Vero now understands Nanci's reason for calling her la mala mujer. Nanci must also believe that Vero was the slut who had been with both brothers. Vero is really angry now and orders Nanci not to get near her or her hubby again. Then she turns to Marty and demands that he put Nanci in her place or she won't have her (Vero) around anymore. She then storms off on her crutches.
Marty turns to Nanci and yells at her for going around saying that she loves him. Nanci tries to hug him and tells him that it's true that she does love him. But Marty backs off and tells Nanci that he loves his wife. Nanci says that what she says is true. The patron is still keeping secrets that when they come to light will separate him from Vero.
Meanwhile, Ana Perla and Blanquita chit chat about Ana Perla's upcoming wedding. The wedding will take place before Pablo heads off to The Big Apple. Ana Perla will be accompanying Pablo as his wife on the trip and is worried that she won't be on the level of all those important people that will be at Pablo's exhibition. And Pablo did want the wedding to be AFTER he returns from The Big Apple.... Blanquita thinks Pablo wanted it like that so he could have more money and is sure that Pablo will sell a lot of his crappy paintings at the exhibition. Ana Perla will ask Pablo how she should behave and is excited about traveling with Pablo as his wife.
Why, if you weren't a woman I'd. . . .! La Sombra del Pasado #128 (Mex 131) Friday, 8-14-15
Good evening, good morning, good afternoon wherever you are
my beloved Sombra Patio Peeps!Let’s
jump right in!
We get another view of that beautiful, candle-lit farewell
to Padre Jeronimo.We are up close and
personal with all the misty eyes bathed in the soft glow of tens of votives ,
warm embraces and a view from above as the crowd gently parts as Padre walks
amidst them and takes his leave.
Right away we see what the evil lackey, Javier is up to:he’s going to damage a gate holding back the
waters of the huerta’s reservoir, flooding it and wasting this precious
resource!Uuuuuf!
Humberto has returned home after his conversation with Cris
and confronts Valeria about her monumental lie that Cris is the father of her
fetus.Hum shouts his outrage and shame
at her actions and, of course, Val tries to play the offended one!She’s so tired of his complaints!He never has anything positive to say to
her!How in the hell can he when she is
always talking nonsense!He can’t
understand how she could lay with that good for nothing Abelardo!Well, Pru protests Val needed some comfort
after Cris dumped her and Val tells her to shut up because she (Pru) is to
blame for all this.It goes on from
there but Hum manages to yell at Val that for once in her life she needs to
take responsibility for her own acts though Pru IS guilty of covering for her
all her life and he’s sure Pru knew about this!Val yells back if he wants to help her he should tell her how to get rid
of this g.d. kid.Oh no, she’s going to
have the baby and HE’s going to see to it!Pru looks on with eyes as huge as those figures in the sad sack/endearing paintings from the 60s.
Amores con Trampa #99 Porfirio's ghosts are closin in on him... and Carmen needs to get off the see saw.
Refritos: Facu offers to Santee to sell him the stock now…
or you are screwed up for good.
Mysterious woman talks on phone with Frankee… asks him how
is the investigation going. He is about to leave San Bartolo el Chico but the
Samarripa cousins are making it a bit rough. She remembers them. And gives him
advice to watch his wallet.She insists
he needs to find Porfirio Carmona.
Meanwhile Porfirio tells Conchita that he has only truly
loved one woman… his wife…he has kept
on living with the hope to someday reunite with her… his wife was everything to
him. The only woman he has truly truly truly truly loved.(seems even the rooster is tired of hearing
him say the same line).
Lo Nuevo:
Santee and Isa atrive home to see Felipe on a
really-fun-looking electric one-wheeler. They all talk that Santee just sold
his stock in the company to Facu… Isa is ok considering they can live on the money
he just got until the new company he is starting is operational. He whiles a
bit about bureocracy and government being real slow in Mex for these things… (I
have a feeling he has some other thing that is worrying him).
At Carmonas, Porfirio is dusting his last supper painting.
Perpetua comes by and notices he is not hugry even for her boiled eggs.He is acting strange and she knows it Maria
comes by and Perpetua tells her about her concern about Porfirio. He is acting
strange.Maria undermines what Perpetua
is saying. Perp wants to call the doctor.
Isa talks to Santee, she is talking a bit of nonsense, even
tells him he should go find a job (yeah right, it will rain upwards before
that, Isa) He talks about all the expenses and all the things she wants that
cost money, even a lipo.
At the gym, Estefi comes in. the trainer with beard talks to
her, is a bit cold with her. Not a good day to get on her back.She whines about Perpetua constantly
scrutinizing her.Estefi assures the guy
that Perpetua might be smart but not as smart as her.In comes the other woman and Estefi is
running away from her and putting the guy in the middle. (not sure who this
woman is but seems estefi owes her money or has tricked her into something,
sorry have not watched much this week).
At office, Felipe wants to talk to Facu about something,
Facu has to poke him a bit before he opens his mouth.Felipe finally does.Wants permission to miss work, the end of year
dance is coming up at the college.Facu
wants to hear more.It seems there is
some kind of king/queen of the dance contest where the winners can win
grants/scholarships to go tocollege
overseas.
Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 23, Thu 08-13-2015: Dance of the Rat Fink
Quick refrito:MD
almost swoons into Julian’s arms after he tells her her marriage license
isn’t real.
Lo Nuevo:Ari catches up Maleny as
she drives her sporty convertible out of the hotel. He’s freaking out a little
because her mom caught them together. She’s annoyed because he’s more worried
about losing his job than about their relationship ending, but tells him not to
freak--her mom has no idea who he is or even that he works; she thinks he lives
off of Mal. Alma calls her and tells her to hurry over.
Lo Imperdonable #63 (Tel #64) Thu 8/13/15 Let's get this party started!
Refrito
Aaron tells Malena that their daughter has
been adopted by a very rich family, after he decided to fake his death.
The new stuff
Pueblo Nuevo – If the engagement is so
pretentious, what is there left for the wedding?
Pablo’s mom has very nice words to say
about her son – ever since his father died, he proved to be hardworking and
well behaved, making her extremely proud. If Crescencio accepts him into his
family, he will have nothing to be sorry about.
Abuelo is happy with what he hears, all his
remaining doubts are now gone. He asks for the party ceremony to continue. Pablo
starts his speech: he asks the head of the family to give his consent and then
both he and Ana Perla kneel, while Crescencio gives his godly blessing.
Sorry, this looks so ridiculous.
As Pablo slips a ring on AP’s finger, Julio
looks on in anger and then leaves.
In the city
Aaron hugs Malena, promising her that their
daughter had a very good life. He kisses her (both Malena and the Patio can
barely stand it). Malena wants some more information, but Aaron has shared
enough for now. He wants some money to pay his debts. After she obliges, he’s
out the door, leaving Malena to shake with disgust and with the realization that Aaron hasn’t changed one bit.
