Antes muerta que Lichita #11 Tuesday 10/6/15

I hope someone will be able to fill in the last 3-4 minutes. Univision has taken to running this 5 minutes into the 9/8 slot...which means a DVR conflict for me. So until Univision honors a freaking schedule, I will always miss the last few minutes. I'll try to wheel and deal with Hubs and see if we can forgo recording Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D or iZombie. *grumble grumble*

PS: I'm feeling half-assed and cranky tonight.


Last Night's Tsuris
The bank calls Lichita to ask about her late payments. She worries about where she'll get the money.
Elsa is told that due to "restructuring" all employees who have been with the company more than 20 years will be let go.
Luciana generously offers to take Ximena's classmates and Magos on a tour to see what Lichita does at Iconika.

The New Tsuris
Roberto continues to be aloof. Lichita notices and asks if she's offended him somehow. He plays dumb.

Nestor asks Lichita to make copies...pero ya! Chuchettte asks Lichita to make copies...pero ya! Nestor demands that Lichita make coffee for the Oki Oki Jin-sei meeting (that was suddenly called)...pero ya! It's all part of Lucifer's, digo...Luciana's plan to humiliate Lichita.

Lo Imperdonable #100 Mon 10/5/15 The Murphy's Law Episode – In which anything that can go wrong does go wrong!

        From Friday:

Verónica and Martín agree not to allow Claudia to come between them.

The Quality Control Engineer examines the ingots and determines they are fake.

The New stuff:

Mad Dog Julio beats Mad Dog Manuel and throws him out of his little shack.  "I must find them," hisses Julio through gritted teeth.

Despite Pablo's reluctance, Ana Perla insists on returning to Mina Escondida without him. "Trust us," say Botel and Magdalena.  "We'll take care of her." [Oh noooooooooooo!]

Pitchforks and Torches in Pueblo Nuevo

Since he started drinking Manny's special (poison) tea, the Old Goat has been feeling a bit better so he decides to take a little walk around the block.  As soon as he sets foot in the street, however the villagers – who would not be out of place in a Diane Arbus photo or a David Lynch film – jeer at him and his sinful family: What's next?  Will Blanquita be following Ana Perla's footsteps?  He waves his stick at them defiantly, but as soon as he walks away, he reflects that what they've said about Blanquita is true.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #30 Mon 10/5/15 (Mex 40) Roxi needs her throat punched, NOW!!

Ciao, Ragazza Italiana Peeps.  Let's jump right in!  Fiorella says NO to the long-haired, baggy-suited, ancient Mack Daddy, Vittorio Dragone, and we all heave a sigh of relief!  Nope!  She will stay at El Rancho de Los Angeles; she wants to clear her name and besides, she likes her work and is not just going to leave Sra. Eloisa alone suddenly.  She will come to his home only after the wedding.  Very well.  Vitto has two conditions:  She must tutear him (use the familiar form of address) and they must spend as much time together as possible!  Fiorella's eyes are NOT burning with anticipation.

Gigi runs into the kitchen to continue working with Gael on her college registration stuff.  The rabid racoon, Roxi, enters the kitchen hissing and spitting and tries to pick a fight about Gigi having been in the car the night Benito took her and drunk Aitana to the club.  Since this doesn't get Gigi's goat, she grabs the folders with the college papers, pretends to read them, inserting her own childish venom and eventually rips the whole folder in two.  Gianna screams and cries and runs to retrieve them, Gael right behind her.

Here's the other big sigh of relief.  Pedro turns down Aitana's proposition to give their lurve another go.  She thinks that after all they've been through, they've remade themselves and deserve to try again.  Nope!  Pedro doesn't have a head for "us", just for himself and the business.  Sorry Charlie, only good tuna get to be Star-kissed!  Pedro's outta there!

Sonia does a mini freak out over being pregnant and wonders who planted the spawn:  Osvaldo or Fabio.  Osvaldo enters the bedroom, she lies about being upset and proposes they make a little great grand for Granny.  Ooops, coulda really used the tuna line for Sonia!  Osvaldo has seen her use her feminine wiles too many times and they don't turn him on.  Osvaldo's outta there!  Sonia puts the pregnancy test stick under her pillow and texts Fabio:  she's got to see him ASAP!

Antes muerta que Lichita #10 Monday 10/5/15: an episode gruesomely devoted to Luciana's successful machinations. Except for a swimming lesson.

At the police station: "You're the father of that loser? Your daughter's just an assistant, a maid to the whole agency." Luciana blackmails Nacho into retracting his complaint [that she knocked him off the road in the sporty little yellow company car], otherwise she'll make sure Lichita never advances at any ad agency. Nachos sadly complies and tells the desk sergeant he was mistaken and Luciana leaves exultant.

Robert says Alicia's supermarket campaign is more than perfect. Alicia thinks things are going well at the police station but we know she's wrong...

Roberto takes Alicia with him to meet the clients at the Mas supermarket. He's gracious to Elsa. Here come O and his henchpeople. O remembers Alicia but not as a competent member of the advertising team. Rather, as - a cow. All laugh at her, Roberto included.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #59 Fri 10/2/15: A Break-up And A Make-up



~~Parte 1~~

At Ivana Enterprises, Doris and Maria Dolores have just learned that Ivana has a plan to defend MD in the lawsuit over the burning down of her tailoring shop.  The question remains what that might be and might mean.  She immediately calls Max to tell him she’s decided to fight the lawsuit rather than settle out of court.  Max thinks she’s crazy to do that.

At the same time, Ursula and Arango wrangle a bit more with Josefa the Heifer (I love that nick. That’s a keeper! Muchas Gracias.) as Alma looks on.  Josie trash talks about MD and agrees that she’s trash who jumps from bed to bed and the reason Julian came to bash in Daniel’s head was cuz he’s also been sleeping with her.  Alma says she’s there to find out the real reason Daniel and Juli fought.  She’s worried cuz Maxie is dating MD still.  “—Yes, you should be worried,” advises Ho-si.  However, Alma informs them all that Claudio assured her that Jul hasn’t been dating MD and that it’s nothing but a piece of gotcha gossip authored by Josefa.  Ho-sí says she witnessed the two of them in delicto flagrante herself.  Caras de self-righteous horror de Alma and Urrrrrsula.

At Bustamonte Law, Ltd., Julian thinks back to the romantic lunch with MD and their dancing together.  Max appears and breaks his reverie.  Juli comments that it’s really rough the way life can kick you in the butt in an instant.

Urrrrsula continues lying to Alma how MarDi broke up Ivaca and Danny Boy’s relationship by continuing to pursue him.  The reason Dan went to see her again was only because she’d given him an invitation.  She shows the mocked up provocative photo on his cell phone.  Alma is properly horrified once more. He went to defend MD’s honor when he heard she supposedly had slept with him as well.  Max says he knows better than that and so know worries.  What he does worry about is that Dan’s done something that he keeps over MD’s head to force her.  He asks if Juli might know what that would be.  Juli stays cryptic.  Giver her a lover’s support.

As Alma leaves, Arango mentions to Urrrsa that Maleny is capable of doing whatever it takes to get at the bottom about her papi’s death.  And HOW would he know this.  Arango stammers out that it would be the number of times he and she have been asked about it recently, right?

Lo Imperdonable #99 Fri 10/2/15 Hey Hey, We're the Monkeys – The Monkey Writers, that is.



My dear friend Elna June liked to imagine that monkeys had taken over the writers' room when there seemed no other explanation for what we were seeing on our screens:  The regulars go on holiday and the simians rule.  Well guess what?  They're BAAAAAACK!  Have a banana!

Party on dude!


She adds a little class to the Patio, no?

Margarita, La Diosa de la Cumbia is still singing Contigo el Amor, as Marty and Vero smooch and dance, all blissful smiles and romance.  


Sure, he's a little awkward, but I'm still glad I picked him.


Magdalena and Botel are really moving!  [I guess those Arthur Murray lessons finally paid off!] 


He's so cute.  I'd totally go out with him if he asked me.


Salma and Nicolás are grooving to the beat.  You can tell they'd love to get up there and show Margarita what they can do.

The only ones scowling are Emiliano and Virginia.  


Put the camera down, NovelaMaven, or I'll put it where the sun don't shine!


Jorge looks on with his permafrost poker face and then turns away.

In Mina Escondida, Manny is anxious for news.

One of Manuel's henchmen tells him the shipment has arrived, though it has not yet been unloaded.  Manuel looks straight at the Patio and swears that Martín San Telmo is going to pay.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #29 Fri 10/2/15 (Mex 39) Fifi's FREE!

Ciao, Muchacha Peeps!   Tonight's events are very straightforward and simple.  Fiorella is freed from prison and here is a summary of how it unfolded.

Pedro examined the security tapes while Dante apparently lied about having done so and discovered that Fiorella entered Eloisa's room empty handed and came out with the drops in her hands.  She was only doing what she was told, retrieving the drops from Eloisa's room.  Pedro is ecstatic!

Benito makes a pitifully comic effort to throw his (imagined) weight around and then bribe Fiorella's jailers.  They laugh at him and point to the camera which has recorded these lame efforts, which could land him in jail.  Vitto shows up with his lawyer as well and the Police seem amused at this retinue of devoted would be Fiorella-liberators.  They should fuggedaboutit!  There were too many witnesses to Fiorella's crime.  There is no bail!

Freddie continues to work on demonizing Fiorella in Eloisa's malleable mind while the sisters weep, Fiorella in jail and Gianna in their bedroom, praying with a Saint Biagio card in her hand.  At this very moment, Julieta is in the throes of her own agony.  She has a nightmare in which a little girl is alone in a wooded area on a foggy night.  She is crying for her mother!  Julieta is very shaken by this nightmare and Sergio comforts her.  Who is the abandoned child?

Antes muerta que Lichita #9 Friday Oct 2, 2015. Roberto begins to realize some feelings toward Lichita and continues to coach her to get some backbone. Lichita finds out Luciana caused Nachos accident and Nacho accuses Luciana.

I will try to edit this some tomorrow, it is a very rough/raw draft.

Lichita tells everyone that Luciana presented HER ideas… its not the first time an idea of hers is stolen.

Sandra says don’t play games… asks Lichita if it is true that her ideas were stolen again. (Lichita asks us the audience if she should spill the beans)… so she hesitates and Sandra rants at her. The rules of the agency are above everything else~! (and CHuchette and Nestor use the moment to rant at Lichita too).

In comes Augusto and sarcastically/selfishly wants to hear that they have a great campaign idea… Luciana is more than willing to redo her presentation. Lichita looks at Roberto as if asking for backup. Roberto nods a yes to her… (stay tuned…)

We go to the neighborhood where Magos is collecting the money for the tanda… Nacho walks by and the neighbors comment that Nacho is down /depressed. They ask Magos what is going on with her. Magos looks a bit concerned due to the comments.

Augusto likes Luciana’s idea… He says ‘as much as I don’t want to’ I have to congratulate you on a great idea. He did not think she would learn the ‘intribulis’ (intricacies) advertising world so fast. Immediately Luciana asks for a promotion or compensation of some kind for her ‘outstanding efforts’.

Magos tries to get her dad to forgive her… apparently she got a ticket (with corresponding fine) for speeding. (sorry I missed about a minute here)… Nacho nags that there is some missing money from the ‘tanda’ or some money he had around.

Lichita stops Augusto from leaving… she finds some courage… ‘I have to tell you that the idea from Ms Luciana is…’ (she changes her mind half way through) … ‘ … is … very good…. Very good!’. (Roberto looks disappointed)

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #28 Thu 10/1/15 (Mex 38) Hos and Heffas.

This is going to be like a demented, slap-dash collage. I'm doing this from memory and I admittedly only half paid attention to the episode. I'm also sort of in a "logical order is for chumps" mood.

Julieta is still blind. After learning that Anibal is not available, the doctor agrees to let Sergio sign anything that needs to be signed because that's totally how health care facilities work. While Sergio is gone, Anibal does pay a visit. Too bad Julieta is all "is that you Sergio my love?" So Julieta=busted. Anibal=hypocritically offended.

During a meal, we are treated to the sight of Sonia getting sick to her stomach. Now we are all sick to our stomachs.

Drunk!Ramiro interrupts Sonia's nausea and the meal to yell at Eloisa. Eloisa's security team sucks. Shouldn't they be able to stop a drunk, disgruntled employee? He asks Eloisa why she does't just die already and stop hurting peopel. He says she's sitting high and mighty enjoying her food while she takes food from his family. Ramiro is dragged away and Fredericka makes a snide comment along the lines of "how can anyone speak so ill of you, Eloisa? You are so beloved!"

Antes muerta que Lichita #8 Thursday 10/01/15: The Episode Where Mean Girls Run Rampant in Iconika Spreading Vileness with a Vengeance

The Old:

The Mean girl clan who forgot to leave their high school antics behind when they turned like 20 decided it would be funny to turn Lichita’s face into that of a clown. Of course, Lichita thinks they are doing her a favor so she walks back into the boardroom timidly showing their work of art. One look at her face and Sandra looks not at all pleased, Nestor does the predictable and bursts out laughing and Roberto just smirks.

The New:

Lichita realizes the joke is on her once she looks at the mirror. Mean girl clan are really getting into their high school roles and chanting, “She wants to cry”. Roberto shuts them up (took a little too long IMO but at least someone did). He tells Lichita and Luciana that both of them need to get to work and bring ideas to the table.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 58 Thu 10-01-15: Rats! Rats, everywhere!

Scenes merged and whatnot.

The Old: Isela drops a super-confusing truth bomb on Orly, in the middle of her web of lies: she’s with Claudio not because she loves him, not because she likes sleeping with him, but because she must have revenge! Orly looks at her like “whaaaa…?”


The New: No time to figure it out because the cops are there to arrest Orly for violating the restraining order (even though Isela admits that she came looking for him. Doris gets Max who explains that the first two times the restraining order is violated, it means bail. The third time is jail.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #27 Wed 9/30/15 (Mex 36-37) Fifi is on the run!

Ok, this will have to be quick because I have a million and ten things to get to this morning! Here we go!

Julieta is out of her mind because the eye drops that Fifi brought her are actually a strong form of acid that has caused her to go blind- although I'd much rather she had been struck mute, her screaming drove me close to tears!

Anyhoo, Sergio and Gael rush her to the hospital where the doctor says there's a chance she will recover but then again she could stay in this state forever! Sergio tries to make her feel better by telling her that he will be her eyes and she says that's not true, he will leave her to go out and party, and dump her like everyone else. He promises that wont happen and kisses her hand, Anibal shows up right at that moment and he and Sergio start to fight, the doctor has to come in and tell them to behave!

Antes muerta que Lichita #7 Wednesday 9/30/15

Well, the story continues at Lichita's house where they are all so happy with her good news. Her father Nacho is saying didn't he tell her that she just had to stick it out at the agency and it would all work out and their dreams would come true? Elsa her mother is so happy she never threw in the towel. Lichita says she learned howw to work hard from both of them. Elsa says that is how the women of their house use are strong, hardworkers, etc. She, Lichita, Magos, and Ximena all cheer.

Lichita is on top of the world when she gets to work thinking how from this day on she would be flying towards her dreams thanks to her effort and patience nobody or nothing would be stopping her. That ecstatic mood is quickly shattered when she opens the door to her office and finds Luciana sitting at the desk. There must be a mistake. No mistake according to Chuchette who has just arrived on the scene with Néstor. This is the office for the person who is going to be in charge of the "Oki Oki Jinsei(Ginseng?)" Cosmetics campaign and that would be Luciana de Toledo y Mondragón Iribarren who just happens to be the niece of don Augusto the owner of Icónika. Luciana informs Lichita that she is her boss. Could she bring her a capuccino? Lichita says that her boss Robeto Duarte gave her the office. They all laugh. Néstor tells her that that is just a "sueño guajiro" (a pipe dream). Lichita insist they go talk to Roberto. On one hand Lichita thinks Roberto will support her but then again might she be slammed by reality?

In Roberto's office, Roberto defends Lichita and her placement and wants to know all about Luciana's background in advertising. Luciana does a lot of double talk about her experience and expertise. Chuchette just thinks it is bad manners to not trust the owner's niece. Roberto asks if Sandra okayed this. Since it is don "mero mero's" (big shot's) niece, Sandra does not have to okay anything according to Chuchette. It is apparent to Roberto that Sandra does not know and so that is where they should have started in the first place: with Sandra the General Director of the company.
