Antes muerte que Lichita #21 Tuesday 10/20/15: Beto Begins to See the Light
The episode begins with a recap of Beto sucking it up, bugging out his eyes and kissing Luci on his forced date. What's new, though, is that he's dreaming about Lichi as he does so! Oh good lord, she's awful on the rest of the date. She's falling all over him, and then comes to the conclusion that, WOW! Maybe we were predestined to be together! Meanwhile, Beto does a great job of wrinkling his nose and acting disgusted, a trend we'll see throughout the episode.
Back at Lichita's place, her dad Nacho is knee-deep in the mopes and going nowhere fast. He's gloomy about not being able to be the sole provider for the family, etc. His wife is sweet and awfully patient and eventually convinces him to come inside.
Beatriz has discovered the absence of the money Luciana stole, and blames it on the maid. Luciana catches Daphne looking through her stuff and seizes the opportunity to pin the blame on her. The two of them (Luci and Daphne) have a very satisfying bickering/girlfight. Luci calls Daphne a goth piñata (surprisingly creative, coming from her) and a green newbie who will never compare to a "diablesa" like Luci.
When Luci gloats about the marvelous, beautiful, pure love like the one she's found with her new guy, an incredulous Daphne asks "who is he, Hitler or Lord Voldemort?"
I give Daphne the win on that exchange, but Beatriz isn't convinced. She rails on our poor goth piñata for the way she dresses, her music, and the theft, and threatens to send her off to some sort of correctional facility (boot camp?). We also get a look at Daphne's social media/dating site profile, where she calls herself "Daphne Dark."
At the bachelor pad, Gumaro laughingly congratulates Beto on the date (even if he was blackmailed into it) with a bon bon like Luci. Beto grumbles and admits he's still hung up on that kiss with Lichita.
Lichita yells at Magos for telling their parents about the bullying at Ikonico, and also for just being a terrible person (hanging around all day, not getting a job, the shady financial schemes, etc.) and threatens to convince their parents to throw her out if she doesn't shape up!
Back at the office, Luci is gloating to Lichi about the marvelous date and the "sublime" kisses she shared with Beto, and also tells her that she won't keep her promise to help Elsa get clearance to sell snacks in the workplace. Lichita looks a little sick at the news about Beto and walks into at least 4 things on her way out of the office. Later though, she does manage to end-run around Luci to Sandra and the office manager and get permission for her mom, so that's good!
Luci's awful friend comes in, giving Luci yet another opportunity to gloat and crow about her marvelous, passionate date with Beto. Also, she says, Lichita is totally crushing on Roberto, so let's hatch an evil plot to make Lichita think her crush is requited. As it turns out, it's not a very complicated plot: Luciana tells Beto to pretend to have a thing for Lichita (not hard, obviously, because he actually does), and the friend tells Lichita that Beto has a thing for her. That's it.
Meanwhile, Lichita is actually having a great time chatting and laughing and being a little productive (so weird... people actually occasionally doing work in a novela workplace? what is this?) with Braulio (mr. hipster). Beto sees all this (including an out-of-context romantic profession of love from Braulio's opera -of course he has an opera, he's a hipster-) and gets totally jealous. He trips Braulio in the hallway and walks into stuff just like Lichita did earlier. That's cute.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres 71 Tue 10/20/15: ♫Take The Last Bus to Loserville ♪They'll Be Waiting At The Station♫
[With apologies to all Monkees fans.....]
Recap Parte 1~~
While Josefa is giving the goods on Maria Dolores to Ursula, Isela listens to Claudio and Alma grieve over Max’s ill-fated love affair with “that woman” and Leo races off to be with Clara in her subsequent time of need. Ise says she’s going back with Leo due to a call from Honoria which left her a bit puzzled and curious.
In the barrio, MarDi and family have decided that Esperanza and Clara will move to Doris’ house while she and MD head off to Monterrey. However, the best news is that Doris has found her nanny and the gal lives in a small town not to far from the DF and that’s where the two of them’ll be going. What’s more, they’ll all get to see each other often now instead of hardly ever. Yippee!! –Wait, even better, Viewerville learns that Orlando plans to join the two of them since Julian and MD are NOT getting hitched after all. Whewwww! What a relief!
Honoria, tho’, is desperate to have MD take Juli with her since she’s just learned that the Fermin The Relapsed Vermin, told Ho-se that the gang who robbed and murdered Rodolfo are planning venganza against him for reporting them into the police. Not just her or that drunk-as-a-skunk padre of his, but the whole neighborhood has seen those two hoods running around loose discussing it! “Take him with you, please!”

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #41 Tue 10/20/15 (Mex 55-56) Let's call the whole thing off?
Post-bad-coital. Osvaldo pretends to care about how very "wrong" what he and Alina just did was, but really it's more like he gets off on how wrong it was.
Gianna overhears Dante and Fed stupidly arguing in the employees' kitchen about whether or not Fi saw them kissing. Federica wants Fi GONE…from the house, from her life. And also Fidel! He knows about them!
Anibal meets with his henches and postures. Juli will pay! Blah, blah, blah.

Lo Imperdonable #110 Mon 10/19/15 Verónica's men grieve, Martín's women hover, and Virginia's luck starts to run out.
Because sometimes once is more than enough, let's start right in on the new scenes tonight:
Mexico City, El Mercado
Ana Perla has finally ditched the maid's uniform. And maybe, as Marty once told Pablo, she really does have good genes because now she shows no sign of her recent ordeal. Indeed, she is bursting with good health in her little white blouse, yellow sash and floral print skirt.
Arturo invites Blanquita and her cousin to work with him in his vegetable stand. Ana Perla hesitates. She doesn't want to be a bother to him. [Oddly, nobody worries about bumping into the mean boss lady. Isn't this the market where she buys her mangos?] Blanquita urges Ana Perla to accept Arturo's offer. Aren't they one big happy family now? Before Ana Perla can reply, old doña Fede comes along with her carnations. When she hears that Ana Perla is looking for work, she offers her the flower stall because she is leaving the city to live with one of her children. [And seriously, if the old lady is giving it away, how much can it be worth?]

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #40 Mon 10/19/15 (Mex 54) Of Course You Love Me, I Suck-a Yo' Face!
When last we were at the Angeles ranch, Granny Eloisa heard Pedro telling Aitana about having awakened nekkid and nose to nose with Sonia in his bedroom. "Get in here RIGHT NOW, Petey!" Granny barks! There were several scenes prior to the resolution of this little snafu but here's the deal. Petey deftly questions Granny about what she heard and spins each piece as she reveals it: He had a few whiskeys at El Corporativo to unwind after a rough day at the office and treated Sonia badly. He gets away with an admonition not to get liquored up at the office and to offer Sonia an apology. Granny directs her irritation at the intercom repair dude: Fix it now or get fired!
Fibrizio, fake shrink, is doing some spinning of his own to try to get Fiorella to say whether she saw Dante and Freddie kissing. Isn't there something she's suppressing? Fifi flashes back the five and half minutes of romance we've had in this little tale and after much back and forth babbling comes to the conclusion that it's thoughts of Pedro she's suppressing and she must not! She must postpone her wedding! She hugs the confused Fibrizio and breezes out of the kitchen!

Antes muerta que Lichita #20 Monday 10/19/15: Luciana continues her rise. Roberto goes over to the dark side.
Luciana gloats over her uncle's hospital bed. He owes her now, both for the blood transfusion and for her silence. He has to bribe a bunch of people to keep his accident quiet. He promises he will reward Luciana well for discretion.
Lichita admits to Brisa (the hippy chick) that she's in love with her boss though he'll never fall for her. Brisa says, "Give him a push. You'll win him over with your interior beauty." Lichita says, "What, is my exterior so hopeless?"

Lo Imperdonable #109 Fri 10/16/15 RIP Veronica Prado Castelo
Marty,
Magda, and Botel are informed that Veronica has been involved in an
auto accident where her minivan exploded. Magda cries and rushes to
Botel's arms for comfort. Marty looks on stunned not being able to
believe the news. They are told that to further traumatize themselves they can get more information at the scene of the accident.
We take a detour to Pueblo Nuevo, where we find Manny getting his drunk on and recalling his recent rendezvous with Virginia. Oh snap. Manny wants Virginia to be his woman.
Still in Pueblo Nuevo, we are now taken to Raymunda and Joaquin's new home where we find the two of them cuddling up in bed and talking about Blanquita. They both hope that Arturo will keep his word. Joaquin trusts Blanquita and considers her to be responsible. Raymunda says that Blanquita is young and at the age of making mistakes. Joaquin points out that you can make mistakes at any age. And OG is a good example, because had OG been more firm with Manny, then things would be so different now. Say what? Wasn't he just saying that Manny is how he is because he was born with a rotten soul? Continuity, continuity, continuity. Raymunda says that she had always believed in Manny and can now see that he took out his claws when he had the chance to attack his own family. Joaquin tells her that the baddest ambitions can destroy entire families.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #39 Fri 10/16/15 (Mex 53) Fiorella and the Three Stooges
Ciao, Muchachita Patio Peeps! I'll pick up in Benito's room where Fifi has had a justified little meltdown in response to Vitto, Pedro and Benito all arguing about her as if she weren't there. Adela suggests she gets some fresh air and Fiorella agrees and they leave together. The three stooges pick up where they left off, blaming each other for Fifi's fit; Reynaldo ushers them all out the door: Benny is still recuperating!
Thugs finish Sergio's beat down with a warning and knock him out for good measure. Julieta finds him on the sidewalk, a passing couple answer her cries for help and call an ambulance.
You know what? There is no other thing to call this man except Assvaldo. RPC on the jerk trying to rap to Alina, the Psychologist at her office, showing up unannounced and absolutely disrespecting her professional and personal space. He even comes back later with a present. My pissivity at her is almost as much as that I have for him. She doesn't seem stern enough and while she does unsmilingly close the door in his stupid face, on the other side she seems to smile subtly and look wistful. He's a butt hole! What are you looking wistful about?

Antes muerta que Lichita #19 Friday 10/16/15: Roberto tries to draw a line to Lichita... Luciana threatens Roberto with his false resume... Elsa finds out Nacho's real job... Lichita gets promoted by Sandra and Daphne tells Bea the truth about Luciana.
Good news... i now have a dvdr so i can record the novela... and not miss anything...
ok, on to the recap...
Gumaro is about to open the door, heads to door dancing... Lichita calls out for Roberto, telling him who she is... instantly Gumaro drops to the floor to fake the crippled Gumaro... Lichita pushes the door after he unlocks it and she has to literally carry him to his dining table. Seems she actually believes he dragged himself all the way from the dining table to the door in just a few seconds. He gives her small talk about the medications being hard to get sometimes... She asks about the music that is on, he tells her his therapist suggested to move rhythmically to the music... Gumaro tells her each day he feels like he is getting more and more crippled. He fakes having difficulty pulling the phone out of his pocket to call Roberto...even falls off his chair. He won't let her help him... until he gives in and she dials Roberto.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #18 Thursday 10/15/15 The Episode Where Lichita Mistakenly Lowers her Guard and Luciana's Nice Girl Makes a Brief Appearance
We leave off with the young couple telling the social worker what they discovered while spying on Roberto. They have no evidence to back up what they are saying. The no nonsense social worker
tells them these are very grave accusations and warn them they could run into problems if they continue to take things into there own hands.
Lichita works on the Oki Oki meeting at home and prays that everything goes well tomorrow. Mom interrupts her thoughts to worry over Magos. Lichita chides her for once again helping Magos by giving her money for the tanda scandal she got herself into. Not wanting to argue Elsa changes the subject to discuss how bold Lichita was the day the police intruded into their homes. Elsa also also wants to know how Roberto is doing. Lichita becomes uncomfortable and say they have nothing but a work relationship. Elsa is confused because she confessed a short while ago to being in luurve. Oh look at the time...time for bed and with that excuse Lichita escapes Elsa's further interrogations about Roberto.
Gummaro and Roberto talk about Lichita and the kiss. Roberto does not have time for woman. Gummaro tries to convince him otherwise. He has been focuses a lot on work these days and he also needs to tend to his heart. Wouldnt it be nice if Mateo has a mom.....

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #68 Thu 10-15-15: The One Where the Protag Shoots Herself in the Face and Blows Everyone Else's Life Up Right Along with Her Own
You guys, I might have to stop recapping. Because I’m so done with MD, I might have to kill her.
Recap of Ursula reminding MD that they can test the baby to see if it’s half reptilian. Then, practically in one breath, she threatens to harm the baby or take it from MD to raise it (which is the same thing, now that I think about it). MD glances at Dan, surely wondering how the one time she didn’t just ignore the cat call turned into this nightmare. She slowly walks out, in case she incites the nest of vipers to strike, vowing silently to protect her baby.

Lo Imperdonable #108 Thu 10/15/15 Veronica Gets The Dirt Then Goes KaBoom
Marty
and Vero let Botel and Magda know that Aaron has been released from
prison. Magda does not take the news well. Botel and Vero try to calm
her down by telling her that sooner or later Aaron will commit another crime
and it will be back to the pokey for him.
In another Telenovela Fashion Horror we find Daniel sporting red pants and
wiring himself up for his meeting with Vero. If Virginia double
crosses him again then he hopes that Veronica
is able to escape from harm's way. That way, Veronica will be able to
use the dirt that he'll supply her with to bring down Virginia.
Meanwhile, he'll be keeping the money that Vero has given him.
In another boneheaded move, Veronica doesn't give Marty details on where she's going and who she's meeting. Instead she asks him to trust her. They eventually get to talking about their love and how nothing and I mean nothing will separate them. Not even death. Annd if that's not foreshadowing then I don't know what is.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #37 Wed 10/14/15 (Mex 49) Them's the brakes
Hey, life happens, so…better late than never. This is very condensed and organized semi-topically
Aitana's parents showed up for dinner surprisingly early in the episode. They seem…ok. Aitana's dad, at her request, has prepared a plan for how to improve the Monterrey plant. Why Pedro doesn't throw a fit about how he's got it under control is beyond me. Pedro and Eloisa spend most of the dinner praising Aitana and making Fi incredibly uncomfortable. She finally runs out of the dining room.
