Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #1 Tue 8/25/15 Ciao!
Oh, just look at all that beautiful blue water! We're in Maratea, Italy, complete with lovely stucco houses with orange/red roofs. Livia Brito in a wedding dress rides down a narrow street perched in the sunroof of a tiny blue car, waving happily.
Voiceover: Fiorella is my elder daughter. I don't know a sweeter, more lively girl. Everything is a party for her. She always has a song on her lips and her eyes shine (resplandecen) with light. She lights up the world with every step she takes and she makes everyone who knows her smile, no matter how bitter they might be. But no one could be unhappy at her side, because Fiorella is like a spring breeze, a tree full of flowers, a laugh bubbling under the surface (a flor de piel)--a bellissima muchacha italiana (beautiful Italian girl)--full of life, who dreams of marrying and being very happy at the side of the man she loves.

Lo Imperdonable #70 Mon 8/24/15 Honor
In which:
Ana Perla Cries,
And Marty Lies;
Manuel Triumphs
And Pablo is Trounced.
Manny can hardly contain his glee as he tells the Old Goat all about Pablo and Mariana. "They were together for years," he says softly. "He was just having a good time with my poor sister." And (as Mauricio astutely noted on Friday) the Old Goat doesn't take the news well. He sinks down in his chair and gasps. Manny smirks.
A loud, drunken Mariana ambushes Pablo outside his hotel room. She tells him that since he wouldn't listen to her, she found someone who would... Marcial or Macario... she can't remember. Fending off her advances, Pablo leads her to her room.

La Sombra del Pasado #134, 08/24/2015 (Mx 136 Part 2): The End of Our Tale
My patio peeps! We've made it to the end, woohoo! Before I start my recap I'd like to thank you all for making this so much fun. My teammates have been the best and I'm honored that they let me join them on this trip. Diva, Lila, Sara and Kris, you are the best team members that a girl could ever hope to have!
Now to the recap!
Ladies, gentlemen, here's a sight no one ever thought they'd see: Candela is on her knees, crying and praying for Aldonza's safe return, she also prays for Cristobal- she prays for him not to kill his father because that's a crime that would follow him around forever. Then, she wipes her tears and a look of defiance takes over, it looks like she's decided that she must take action, more on this shortly.
Cristobal and Padre J are still searching for Aldonza, they ride off to meet up with Mel and the rest of the search party.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #30 Mon 8/24/15: Discussion Page
Urban Anthropologist has computer problems and asked for a discussion page and highlites if anybody can throw a few up. If she can manage a recap we'll post it later on.
Thanks to ViviDC:
Part 1:
- Maleny's got a new hairstyle and a new attitude. She first goes to Ari and pressures him to give back every cent of the money her mama and Arango paid him to break things off with her. She doesn't have Max anymore and has nothing to lose now, so she threatens to accuse him of sexual harassment at the club if he doesn't comply.
- Ari folds, and has to ask Doris for the money back. He lies and says he's loaning the money to Orlando to pay for Leo's medical bills and his planned wedding with Isela. Doris breaks the news to MD, who now wants to go into business together. MD doesn't care. They can make it work and still be partners, even though Doris doesn't have money to invest right now.
- Maleny continues on her new tough attitude. She gives Arango a check to cover Ari's bribe money, and lets him know she is NOT as stupid as they think. Even in her drunken, hysterical state the night before and the night Arango picked her up from the club, she picked up on the non-boss-employee vibe between her him and her mother, and she knows their hiding secrets.
- Maleny then has a truck of new quesadilla stand supplies sent over to Honoria, much to Hon's, Fermin's, and Julian's shock.
- Esperanza is trying to forbid Clara from continuing her relationship with Leo. Clara is having NONE of that, and can't believe she and Leo are getting all this crap, when MD is about to get back together with that lying cheat, Dan. MD defends Clara and Leo's relationship to Espy. She then goes to the hospital and lobbies for Alma to leave the kids alone. Max overhears, and thinks MD has misinterpreted Leo's restrictions on visitors by the doctors as Alma being against the teen lovers. MD looks at Alma and tells Max to get clarification from his mama. Max once again tries to warn MD off Dan and says he'll be there for her. But she tells him to keep his distance, per his mama's orders.
- Max chews Alma out about her not trusting him, and betraying his trust by telling Maleny about his feelings for MD. He says he's lost his trust in her. Alma becomes distraught. Max and Leo also get suspicious when they see she called Clara's house from Leo's phone.
- To try to fix things, Alma allows Leo visitors from the hood-- Orlando, Julian, and a very happy Clara. The novios smooch happily. Alma leaves the room quietly.

===================================
Part 2:
- Claudio calls Isela in the office and tells her he's staying with his WIFE and SON in the hospital and won't be coming in to work. Having earlier been taunted by Josefa that she couldn't be that great in bed, if Claudio wasn't trying to get her back IN bed, Isela is obviously upset he's being so distant. She stabs some papers on Claudio's desk as she says farewell, and looks up to see Maleny watching her with a very knowing look. They threaten each other to not meddle in each other's business. Isela won't reveal what she knows about Maleny and Ari, if Maleny doesn't mess with her.
- Alma has overheard Leo tells Orlando, Julian and Clara that he remembers perfectly that he raised the car onto bricks. They don't understand, since the bricks were to the side of the car. They think Leo must be mistaken, but he's certain. Alma gasps to herself, now certain that someone tried to KILL Leo. She's right, but this only makes her more determined to keep Max and Leo away from the folks in that hood. She doesn't understand why Claudio offers to lend Julian office spaces next to his own (as compensation for saving Leo), but he's certain he will be able to get Julian's help in convincing Leo to distance himself from the hood, and eventually Clara.
- Ivana's showdown with Susana ends in stalemate. Susana does back down when Ivana threatens to limit her access to money and luxuries to mere crumbs.
- Meanwhile, Dan and Ursula try to figure out Ivana's game in keeping the miscarriage from him. They decide Ivana still wants to marry him, but wants to get revenge on him in some way. Dan goes to see her the next day, confronts her about the miscarriage, and rushes her to the hospital when he sees she's in a bad state. At the hospital, he and Ursula plot their next move while the doctors do a D & C. Ursula prays she doesn't die, before they can get their hands on her money. The doc comes out and tells them that the infection was so bad, that they also have to do a hysterectomy. Dan plays to grieving father and fiance, and asks the doctor to let him break the news to Ivana. This is all kinds of wrong, and the doc holds on to his professional ethics for a minute, before he agrees. Ursula and Dan decide not to tell Ivana that she can no longer have children. Dan says it's even better now. No pesky kids to get in the way of HIM ending up with ALL the money. Bwahahaha!

=================
Part 3:
- Alma, Claudio and Max see Dan and Ursula. Max calls out Dan's hypocrisy-- playing the faithful fiancé, when he saw Dan macking on MD just the day before, and just learned from Clara that he's trying to get back with MD. Dan claims he was just seeing MD to try to help her with the lawsuit Ivana is bringing against her. Alma and Ursula confirm the lawsuit to Max.
-Clara happily reports her visit with Leo to Espy and MD. Espy wonders how Alma treated her. Clara says she was cold, but polite, and it’s all due to MD going to talk to Alma. The sisters hug. Espy doesn’t want Clara to experience the troubles MD is having with Dan’s family, with Leo’s family. Clara doesn’t think you can even compare the two situations. Espy relents and gives in to Clara’s happiness.
- Dan goes in to see Ivana after she wakes up. He lays it on thick with the tears about their lost child, and how he wants to try for more. He lays his head on Ivana’s chest, and she looks like she may be falling for his act.
- Max tracks down MD as she’s walking through the park. He wants to know why she didn’t tell him about the lawsuit. He wants to help her. She tries to shoo him away, and says that Dan and Victor (the shady lawyer) are helping her. Max is flabbergasted. How can she trust Daniel? He tells her to stop playing the innocent and admit that she wants to be fooled by Daniel! MD snaps back and asks so what if she does!? Max declares his feelings for her again, takes her face into his face, and makes the slow approach to her lips. She doesn’t resist, and when their lips finally meet, she becomes a full participant. Another dress bag is dropped and totally forgotten as she melts into Max’s kiss.

Amores con trampa #105 and #106 8/24 and 8/25 Monday and Tuesday
I've condensed a lot tonight.
Rocio is very upset about her conversation with Beto. Feli wants to know whats wrong. She tries to brush it off. Feli rightly guesses she's upset about Beto and asks if they fought. Feli knows Beto adores Rocio. Rocio doesn't think so. Hilda was in Beto's office. Feli looks a little down about that. Rocio asks if he likes Hilda. He changes the subject. He encourages her to talk to Beto. "Tell him how you feel!" Rocio is convinced it's too late.
Maria tells Fac that Florencio has left for San Bartolo el Chico. Fac looks suspicious. Beto thinks this is a good thing since it means Florencio won't keep bothering Maria. Esteban interrupts this family meeting to ask Fac why he's leaving for SBeC with Porfirio. There's business to attend to! Fac has a meeting with the Japanese investors. Fac wonders how long it will take to wrap up the meeting with the investors so he can get going to SBeC. Esteban thinks if the ladies cook a good traditional meal, only a few days. Susana quips that Esteban is making jokes and Perpetua agrees...but they're bad jokes (Did I catch that correctly?) The family leaves

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #29 Fri 8/21/15: Amongst The Lies Various Versions Of The Truth Will Out
Parte 1
Read more »
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
out with gratitude for all of you allowing me to guide you through the crazy
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,
La Diva del Desierto, 5ft. Latina! Thank
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!
Read more »
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 ;-)
*ahem* I'll get on with it then...

Lo Imperdonable #67 Wed 8/19/15 Evil Manny
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:

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!

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:
