Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #29 Fri 8/21/15: Amongst The Lies Various Versions Of The Truth Will Out
Parte 1
Susana has come to Maria Dolores with a version of the truth
that best suits her purposes: Ivana is buying herself a husband and was willing
to fake a pregnancy in order to do so
and to keep him Dan; Daniel never loved Ivana and Susana tried to convince her of
it with the taped conversation. She lets MD hear enough of the taped conversation with Urrrrrsula to convince MD that they were in cahoots somehow.
At the same time, Max delivers Majorly Mad Maleny to her mother and deposits
her there with Urrrrrsula and Arango The Arranger. She waits for Max to leave: “—I’d rather they’d
brought you home dead!” “—Me , too!” Well, there’s still time!” Urrrrsula drags Mad Mal into her daddy’s
former study/office, sits her down in a chair, and pulls out a gun from the top desk drawer. This
didn’t kill your father. It was you,
with nerve enough to finish the job the coward couldn’t. Mal tells her to shut up but Mama brashly continues. “—Tell me at what moment you changed into a gutless
wonder like him? What were you
thinking? That by disappearing one night
from home Max was going to take pity on you and go back to you?”
“—So is this what you’d rather I do?” Mad Malady de Maleny picks up the gun, cocks
it and impulsively threatens to kill herself with it. Arrango rushes over and manages to grab the
gun away from her. (A pity he’s so quick
and able.) Mal, in her frustration and
anger, lets out with another cacophonous blast of certifiable bellowing, her reckless
hysterical hijinks not having met with Mama’s approval. No, says GRRRrsssula, Mal should have pulled that gun act in
front of Max so that she’d have ended up appearing the sympathetic victim and not that seamstress! Mal races out of
the room and Mama Bear tells Arrango it was a lesson she needed. “She’s turned into a spineless weakling just
like her father and look how he ended up!”
Lo Imperdonable #69 (Mex #70) Fri 8/21/15 Ana Perla Tries To Pull A Demetrio
The Old:
A fight ensues between Pablo and Julio. The two tussle and roll around on the ground. Julio threatens Pablo with a "Don't get near AP ever again or else."
The New:
Pablo tries to explain to AP that he broke up with Mariana. But AP doesn't want to listen to his explanations. Instead she slaps him hard right across the face. Poor Pablo.
Cancun, Mexico
On the yacht, Emi comments on how beautiful the scenery is. It reminds him of all the things he loves. **He daydreams of a seductive Vero inside the water at the beach**. Back in reality, Virginia tells him that she'll never forget this moment -- it's the happiest moment of her life. Emi asks Virginia to teach him to love her. Wait a minute ... now that's not something you want to hear from your future husband .. oh Emi... Anyway, Virginia tells Emi that she will teach him and she'll always love him because he needs to be with someone who loves him and not be out begging love from someone who doesn't love him. The two kiss .. and the kiss then turns passionate as they lay down on the yacht ... and well I think we all know what happens next ... but thankfully neither Uni nor the Mexican broadcast shows it ...
Amores con Trampa #104 of misbehaved kids... of a couple trying to revive the fire... of two grown men going on a scavenger hunt ... and a copter gadget on the loose
Refritos: The carmonas are enjoying themselves at the carnival,
including bumper cars and the giant water bubbles in the pool.
Lo Nuevo:
Perpetua and Porfirio are playing arcade games, shooting games. Actually, the whole family is there. Seems
Abuela Perpetua is very comfortable shooting that gun… she and Porfirio keep
teasing each other. The game is over.
Seems Susana won. She beat Facu, Beto,
Porfirio, Perp, Carmen and Jacinto.
Now they are in the roller coaster… Facu and Carmen at the
front seat. Facu is the one that looks
the most out of place or ‘not quite in his trade’. Jacinto looks scared or sick. Porfirio
comments later that he did not enjoy it that much either. He jokes that she
does not feel anything because she’s already dead (Yikes, Porfirio! That was
not nice!)
Later on at office, Rocio comes to see Beto. Beto is a bit cutting with her about the
party at her house that she did not invite him to. She tries to explain. He says he got it that her family does not like
him. He tells her with tears that the
worst thing that happened to him since arriving at the city was to meet
her. She painfully agrees… and apologizes. Hilda comes in. RoCio asks him if he and
Hilda are back together and he dryly says ‘none of your bidnez’. Rocio leaves hurt. Hilda tries to cheer Beto up.. but he says he
feels ‘de la trompada’ (real bad).
Back at Carm house, Porfirio is at dinner table with family
again arguing with Conchita and Perpetua about the boiled eggs. Carmen runs in. She is trying to fake like her punishment was
lifted already… PSYCH!!! Maria and Facu tell her the trip to the carnival was
an exception but she can’t even use her car.They demand her keys back.
Back to the office.
Beto agrees with Hilda to go out to dinner together. He leaves. Felipe comes back. He again is a
bit sarcastic with he ‘support’ of Beto.
Felipe says its no secret to anyone that they have a history. Hilda says
its no secret either that she is falling for another guy (Felipe can’t help but
smile about that).
La Sombra del Pasado #133 (Mex #136 Pt. 1) 8-21-15 In the Valley of The Shadow of HELL!
Greetings, my friends of the Sombra Patio!Or, shall I call it the Somber Patio?No!I
am not going out like that!I’m going

lives of the residents of Santa Lucia these past many Fridays.I am grateful as well for the company of so
many witty, brilliant, funny, passionate, observant and eloquent people
gathering here around this digital campfire.I am grateful for my teammates, Eli, Hellashelle, Sara and our Captain,

you for letting me retell this story to you all in this, my first full
time, from the beginning recap gig!I
got nothin’ but LOVE for alla y’all!Let’s
do this!
I’m going to tell things a little out of order and not go
into my usual depth of detail and you will see why and I hope it’s ok.We repeat a bit of that sweet scene when
Valeria finds out that Hum changed his will before he died and El Santuario
belongs to Eman and Aldonza.She drops
heavily to the concrete bench while Pru babbles about the impossibility of this
turn of events.Val speaks aloud as Pru
tries to comfort her, “I always treated him so badly. . .I killed him and I
will have to live with that until my dying day!”
Later we see Val lying down in her cell when her private
hellish thoughts are interrupted by an insistent thump.She sits up and . . .AAAAGH!Her father, Humberto is standing outside her
cell, his eyes blackened!Val screams
and instantaneously he is in the cell sitting next to her, his presence
shockingly real as he watches her silently.Valeria.Freaks.Out!She screams that he is dead, he should leave!Two guards rush in and restrain her while a
white coat clad Dr. plunges a syringe into her arm leaving her mumbling and
sprawled on the cement block bed.
Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #28 Thu 08-20-15: The web gets even more twisted with lies
Refrito: Ari offers to help Doris with his savings. Orlando
declares that he loves Isela and will support her, whatever she decides to do.
If she’s pregnant and wants to keep the baby, they can raise it as their own.
She accepts but wants to leave and get away from her mother. Max tells Maleny
their relationship is over.
Nuevo: Max tells Maleny he’s in love with MD and she has a
classic reaction. She cries (without tears). She accuses Max of cheating. He
tries to explain that nothing’s actually happened between him and MD because he
wasn’t sure of his feelings for her until now and because she’s still in love
with Daniel. Maleny cries that it’s still cheating. And Dan hit
her because of MD. Max says she knows that’s not true. She calls him
a liar and a coward. Her brother messed around with MD for months, but now Max
is trituando(=grinding, crushing, shredding. In general,
destroying) the love they’ve shared for years for MD?! She
knocks some stuff off of the table they’re sitting at and storms out.
Lo Imperdonable #68 (Mex #69) Thu 8/20/15 Mariana Wrecks Havoc And Emi Pops The Question
(Filling in for Adriana Noel)
Clemente looking decent in a cheap suit visits Jorge at the PC offices and tries to get info on Veronica to no avail. He pretends to care about Veronica and tells Jorge that he would like to see his niece. Jorge replies with a "I'll think about it and let you know". Ha!
At the hospital, Virginia turns on the waterworks and plays victim. She tells Danny boy that she's "sacrificing herself" for their future and here he comes threatening her. He tells her it's no threat -- he's just being cautious because he knows her well and realizes that she isn't so indifferent to Emi. She tells him his threats are not necessary. He tells her that he hopes so and orders her to report to him from Cancun. He leaves the room. Virginia calls him an idiot. You got that right, Virginia!
AP, Pablo, and Gramps enjoy a nice family dinner at Gramps' place. AP questions Pablo about his reasons for getting nervous every time he thinks about his exhibition in New York. He tells her that it's because the exhibition is a fundamental step in his career and his future depends on it. Smiles all around. (Mauricio senses a storm coming...)
The next morning, Nanci walks towards Marty telling him that she wants to speak with him. He tells her that if she's going to continue insisting with the same thing then despite not wanting to he'll have to ask her to stay away. Nanci tells him that she has come to tell him something else and he has to listen.
La Sombra del Pasado #132 (MX 135)-Thursday 8/20/15
I always get a little misty-eyed when a show comes to an end and especially when it's my last recap. I'm glad I have Muchacha italiana to look forward to and I'm so happy that most of the team is staying on for it.
Eli, hellashelle, Kat and Lila- you are all the best teammates a person could hope for. I really feel like I've been a part of something special on this show.
Eli-your wicked wit is enviable. I wish I had just a smidgen of it. Your ability to compact the episode into such a powerfully funny recap leaves me amazed.
hellashelle-I groaned along with you every time your "nemesis" graced the screen. I totally stole your "long and short" of it a couple times and you were very gracious about it. I thank you for that. I hope I get to be on a recapping team with you again very soon! I hate that I'm too behind on YNCELH to join that conversation.
Kat-How do I even begin to thank you for all your support since DQTQTQ? I am honored and relieved that you haven't fired me.
Lila- I love your enthusiasm. Your love of Telenovelas and the characters in them shines through every line...and sometimes your hatred ;-)
I'm very busy here so I won't have part two up until tonight or possibly tomorrow morning.
I also need to say something very quickly, I'll write more once I've calmed down and can properly expressed myself: I have been made aware of some comments that have been posted on the recaps comment section that are hurtful and offensive and which have really discouraged me. I can not believe what I have read and am now too upset to say anything more.
JackieV- welcome to the patio! And to any lurkers out there, come play with us! This thing is becoming dreadful and the only thing that might save it are the witty comments from the patio!
And now your recap:
We get more of Veronica telling Matilde and Maggie that she will never forgive her mother for leaving her in the hands of her father- she does not remember much from her childhood but she does remember his temper, his shouts and his violence.
Maggie and Matilde try to tell Veronica that she does not know what her mother was dealing with, but Vero doesn't care, her mother never even looked for her and she will never, ever forgive her, the topic so upsets her that she had to leave.
Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 27 Wed 8/19/15 - The Devil works Part Time
( Some scenes were merged out of context. Children below the age of 18 may find certain scenes disturbing)
Ivana in her Rant Mode announces bloody revenge on her enemies even if she is to ally with Mole Jacinto. Gerry is not fond of the scheme because Ivana was never that kind of person, she's in fact a great person . Gerry tries to convince Ivana to forget all this but she rejects so Gerry is outta there! At the exit he encounters with the Mole . The Mole glances Gerry with a creepy but satisfied look. When Gerry is gone, Jacinto's left hand shook as if he was ejaculating.
Ari is telling Doris that he was just telling Maly on phone that she cannot play tennis in the club anymore cause her Mommy Dearest sent Arango to threaten him over helping Maly suing Dan for abuse charges. Doris didnt believe it but she did went to Orlando to confirm it. Ari is shocked that she trusts Orlando more than him. Doris asks Ari to check on Orlando cause he was feeling bad over something.
Ursula informs Maly that she has talked with Ari saying that he cared more for money than for Maly. Arango will give Ari money but Maly will have to pay him back after she gets married . Maly gets mad but Ursula says that this is Maly's mess. If Maly wouldnt have killed her father everything would have been fine. Maly blames Ursula and Arango instead and begins crying. Alma comes to console her. Ursula and Maly manage to convince Alma that MD is getting her hands on Max to get revenge on Dan. She has even told bad words to Ivana to make her abort. Ursula advises Alma to convince Leo that staying in the neighborhood would be a very bad choice because the sisters are pure cancer. Clara asks Alma if she can visit Leo but she rudely rejects her. She does not want Clara in Leo's company ever.
MD is apparently on a job interview but gets called by Espy over work stuff. In the end she does get the job alongside a bag of cloth. She later goes to some apartment and falls right into Dan's trap. He starts grabbing and kissing her. MD does kiss him too but later she relents. She tells him on the stairway that some battles are lost since beginning . This is just one of them. Dan says that his family and Max put them in a trap. MD leaves but unfortunately she has left her bag in the apartment as well UGH. Dan begins spewing crocodile tears to himself but it's not like that we would care.
The Viper Josefa got visited by Claudio who is very worried for Isela. She has not returned his calls. The Heifer wastes no time in informing that Isela got raped by Orlando. She feigns care and worry for her pretty virgin daughter.
Orlando calls Isela lamenting that her mother treats her like that. But he still wants to marry her. If he knew his name he would kill him in moments notice. She hangs up because Claudio comes in the room. Claudio regrets what happened, he abused his position but Isela does like him. Her mother misunderstood her thats all. Claudio tries to touch her but she rejects him. He looks with a regretful look between his eyes. Ari was also there so Orlando threatens to kill him if he ever opens his mouth.
Espy warns Hon to stop spending that much money because one day it may run out. Hon says that she wants to see Vermin work. Espy doubts that anyone would give him work. Hon wants no mortifications though besides what will she say her son when Vermin has to leave? Espy says to say that it was all just to help Vermin. MD comes in and Hon gives her the blessing. MD informs Espy what's up. Dan even claimed that it was all Max's fault. Espy is insulted by his cowardice.
Max frees up two colleges from Julian's prison and they surprise him . Max hopes that they will remain on good behavior. He is heading out but Clara stops him because they would not let her see Leo. Why did not he tell her? Max says that he was doing something else but they did release him from coma. He has also phoned Adrian, the lawyer who was supposed to work with Julian and told him of the situation off-screen . Someone comes to give Clara the dress that MD forgot in the apartment. Clara also asks if she could send an SMS greeting to Leo.
Ursula is counting money but she also hopes that Ari will not be demanding more dough . She wonders why her children choose lovers from the poor class. Arango laughs at that since the kids are repeating Ursula's history without knowing it. Ursula orders him to not tell anyone of the past and Arango promises since its convenient not to forget certain things . What a loving creep!
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.
"Gio asks him what kind of woman he wants for his father. Yeah, I agree, let's get her delivered online.” -- Weirdo
“I don't care if you're a completely unqualified 'undercover' spy, when you're alone in a hotel with a man and you hear him freak out because he finds out an innocent young girl ISN'T dead, you leave the room!!!" -- Darcy Buchanan
“Okay, no. Just NO. If you two get jiggy on the cucaracha table, you CANNOT sit with me on the patio. JUST TAKE YOUR DRINKS AND GO. " -- Blue Lass
