Antes muerta que Lichita #26 Tuesday 10/27/12: Welcome to Smooch City (Loading the Tragedy Cannon)
Hey folks, last night we had an episode where things were going pretty well for Lichita. I tend to see happy scenes like these so early in a novela as a form of loading a gun... The happier she is now, the bigger the boom from the tragedy cannon.
Anyway, the episode opens on Luciana grilling Roberto about the kid in the photo (actually his son). He claims it's his nephew and marvels at his own stupidity ("how could I have brought this photo to the office!??") for almost getting caught.
Nacho continues to display his ineptitude. He's happy to have his janitorial job back and he hums and dances with his mop. He places a wet-floor warning sign (remembering out loud that it's an important rule to put the sign up so no one slips and gets injured) and promptly slips on the floor and loses his eyesight (again). The retina re-detached.
Fortunately for Nacho, the doc patches it up relatively easily. Elsa, his wife, worries about how they'll pay for it, but no worries: Lichita put it on her credit card! And they manage to get Magos to cover Elsa's shift of pushing the food cart through the office so Elsa can stay with Nacho.
Mateo's would-be adoptive parents meet with a lawyer. They don't have much legal grounds to take Mateo, because his dad (Beto) is still around and has legal rights. Anyway, I question the wisdom of trying to adopt a kid who knows his dad and actively doesn't want to be adopted.
Beatriz' maid shows her an unfamiliar pair earrings that she found in her husband's bag. She confronts Augusto (whose earrings are these?) as he tries to work on a hilariously serious self-portrait of himself in a business suit with a briefcase. He tries to sidetrack her with a romantic advance, but she won't quite fall for it. "Don't lie to me, it's a sin!"
/>Luciana reads the accusations of ineptitude and nepotism levelled at her in the "Mujer de Hoy" magazine article. She's pissed. "We're gonna shut up this idiot journalist!"
Dafne finds her mom crying in Alex's room. She's actually kinda sweet and they're nice to each other for maybe the first time. She heard the fight and tries to comfort Beatriz with a hug.
Augusto comes to Sandra (side girl #1?) and asks if the earring is hers. She's pissed and says it isn't. August: "fortunately my wife is very understanding with me." Uhh, no she's not and you're a jerk. He's got too many girlfriends, and he doesn't even recognize whose earrings they are.

Lo Imperdonable #116 Tue 10/27/15 Rebeca makes her move, Manny fails to kill Aaron, and Marty reunites with Veronica.
Aaron has Marty trapped and pinned to a wall with a gun pointed at him from behind.
Now that Marty is out of sight, the cousins and Veronica continue their way to the nursing school.
At the PC offices, the bank manager tells Jorge that the bank will take full responsibility for having cashed the check without verifying that it was indeed Jorge's signature. The bank will be giving Jorge his money back. Jorge wants to know who could have robbed him. While the bank can't provide the actual images from the security camera, they can provide him with a screen shot of the blind man who came to cash the check. Jorge takes a look at the man in the photo and IDs Aaron.

Instead
of pulling the trigger, Aaron decides it's a good idea to babble
away and tell Marty his plans to kill Magdalena and Botel as well. The
three of them will all reunite in hell and hey they may even reunite
with Veronica down there as well. At the mention of Veronica, Marty
reverts to Crazy Marty, and with a quick move he's able to get the
upperhand on Aaron overpowering him and causing him to drop his gun to
the ground.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #76 Tue 10/27/15: Big Truths, Even Bigger Decisions
Parte 1~
Doris and Orlando continue lip locking and
discussing their new relationship. Yes,
Chelito was the one to wise him up to the fact that she was in love with him
and he is attracted to her greatly. In
love with her is something else again and Doris determines to make him fall in
love with her. He’s game he says.
Maria Dolores (Pained Mary) advises Doris
to take the rest of the day off and enjoy getting to know Orly better. She does and he tells her he’s an
old-fashioned sort of guy who, though not exactly a male chauvinist, at least
likes to know he wears the pants in the family and would be her ultimate shield
and provider. He also seems a bit slow
in bedding the dizzied damsel, taking things in baby steps rather than in gigantic
er…(bedroom bop) hops. As for Ari, Orly
will deal with him and the “it” later. And Isela?
She wasn’t worth it, just a lust of sorts that he’s over. (FF>>FF>>)
·
Alma gets the disastrous, earthshaking news that
although Claudio is fine, maybe a bit overstressed so that he cannot function in
his matrimonial mattress duties of late, she’s the one with health
worries. She has pancreatic cancer. She chooses to deal with the news on her own—at
least for now, tell Max that she’s just going through menopause (and empty-nest
syndrome).

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #46 Tue 10/27/15 (Mex 65) Much Boo Hoo about Nothing
If you haven't watched the episode yet, you can FF>> up to about 3 1/2 minutes in and avoid all the refrito.
New stuff starts with Pedro, Sonia, and the faked DNA results that so far, Pedro doesn't believe. Until Sonia says Fi must have mis-heard. And that's all it takes for Pedro. Though, he doesn't care for Sonia's plan, to wait and tell Osvaldo the truth later. The ass in question comes home and Belinda runs interference. Meanwhile, Sonia keeps arguing and lets her very real pain over the loss of her last baby add a touch of authenticity to her pleas not to risk the life of this one. As Os walks in and Pedro starts to spill the beans, Pedro gets the call...

Lo Imperdonable #115 Mon 10/26/15 The cousins chase Vero, who is running from Marty, who is pursued by Aarón, who is wanted all over Mexico. Got that?
Think about it. Mexico City is enormous. Over nine million people live in the city proper within an area of 573 square miles. (In the greater metropolitan area, there are more than 20 million.) But judging by tonight's episode, the Distrito Federal is just another pueblo pequeño.
Lo de antes:
Martín goes to Virginia's room to confront her. While he is there, she gets a call from Aarón.
Arturo knocks Verónica down with his bike as she is wandering in a daze through the city streets.
Lo nuevo:
Maybe it's the big bandage on her head and the hospital gown over the sweat pants. Maybe it's the bruises on her lovely face or her utter confusion and helplessness. But after the accident, Arturo feels responsible for this Damsel in Distress. He tries to persuade her to come with him so he can take care of her. Though Verónica is very frightened, she decides to take a chance – she puts herself at the mercy of this sympathetic young man.
Halloween has come early to the vecindad
In Mexico City, Aarón, wearing tortoise-shell horn rims and blue surgical scrubs, makes his limping way down the stairs of the vecindad. He looks down at his phone and mutters angrily. That stupid woman thinks she can ignore his call!

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #45 Mon 10/26/15 (Mex 62-64) Gianna has Two Angels on her shoulder and Sergio a devil on his back!
Buona sera, Muchacha Patio Peeps! Scenes have been combined and may not be in the order of broadcast.
Well. We have to pick up where we left of on Friday but we'll make it quick! Vitto pulls away from Fiorella's lips and is absolutely enchanted! Oh, what a sweet kiss! It's proof that she loves him! Fiorella looks like she's waking up from a dental procedure, NOT the afterglow that Vitto seems to be in. They proceed to their table where he continues carrying on about the kiss. He stands and presents her to all the patrons of the restaurant as his beloved fiance and invites them all to applaud and buys every table a bottle of champagne. Well somewhere along the way Fifi wanted to go to somewhere more peaceful after being put on blast in the restaurant so. . . .he takes her to his home. He shows her some artwork and within minutes has decided to show her something more personal. He takes her to his bedroom all alight with flower petals and candles. Fiorella is really looking stunned now. He thought it's what she meant by something more tranquil. No. She doesn't want to get to know him better. She wants to go back to El Rancho. Now. In a cab. He agrees to call one.
In the offices of La Dolce Vita, Diana presents Vitto with the results of her "investigation." She hates to disillusion him because she knows how excited he is about the wedding but. . . .Fiorella swindled a guy in Italy! Vitto has heard this charge before and is not impressed.

Antes muerta que Lichita #25 Monday 10/26/12: I come up with an important acronym for our rotten galan
In Los Angeles, Roberto and Alicia did a lot of kissing and holding hands and sight-seeing, and they slept on the same bed (in all their clothes) before rushing off to meet the U.S. contact Jose Guadalupe (who is a real slob) and talk about how important family is to U.S. Latinos and that they are bicultural. I don't think those were very subtle observations.
Roberto says she's sexy. She's never slept with a man (she's invisible to them). He admits he hasn't had any action for a long time because his life has been difficult. He's thinking: yeah, I was in prison. She says: oh yes, your sick brother. He is embarrassed but doesn't come clean. I think I need an acronym for this because it happens so often. EBDCC. When it's time to go home she asks if they're going back to status quo ante and he says, basically, yes. They have to be very discreet. "Is it because of Luciana?" "I feel nothing for her. In fact I can't stand her, if you see me with her it's because she is a very hard woman."

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #75 Lunes 10/26/15
Chapter
75: Surprises
Esperanza
opened the door. Scuzzy Santibañez charged in, grabbed Maria
Dolores, and held a pair of scissors to her throat. The police bust
in behind him, pistols drawn. Her screams attracted the neighbors,
including Hosefa. Mama Bear and her shark ran into the courtyard.
Danny-Boy demanded that the police not shoot. Mama Bear and Arango
went into the Morales apartment.
“Son,
don't do this. Don't be foolish!” she yelled.
“I'm
not losing my son, not after all we did,” he answered.
The
police pushed Ùrsula back and Danny-Boy started lowering the
scissors.
“This
is all your fault!” Mama Bear yelled at Maria Dolores.
“I
haven't done anything wrong,” she answered. “He raped me. You
raped me!” she yelled at him as she elbowed him in the side. The
younger cop's reflexes were good. He got in and shoved Danny-Boy's
face down onto the worktable. His partner closed in as he said to
Danny-Boy “You're under arrest and will need a lawyer.”
They
dragged him out the door. He protested as they frogmarched him past
the neighbors.
“Wait
till you see what happens to you for all this,” Mama Bear shouted.
She shook her indez finger at Maria Dolores like an orphanage
mistress out of Oliver Twist.
“Don't
you threaten my daughter,” said Esperanza. “Nobody was more
unfair and cruel than Daniel. It's your fault as his mother for not
teaching him any values.”
“Yes,
yes, yes,” Chelito shouted. “Face it; he's committed a crime and
he has to pay.”
“You
will be sorry for this,” Mama Bear said. “I will make you sorry
and I will have help. I will always remember this moment.”
Arango
said “Vamanos” as he pulled her out the door. Maria Dolores
looked frightened, Doris angry.

JJosefa convinces Isela that Marta
didn’t lie about being innocent, but only after she drags out the last letter
Marta sent her before killing herself. “—Do
you think a person ready to kill themselves would lie in a letter?” I guess Ise figures probably not. After a bit more emotional browbeating, she
swears to continue the venganza for Hosie.

Chelito runs into Orlando and Ari
arguing over Doris. She bassakwardly
introduces herself and gives the both of them a piece of her mind, which orly
finds a bit amusing. To quote Chelito: “Harrumphhh!” Ari catches up to her and says he did fall in
love with Doris, and he did try to do things the right way. She questions what he considers “doing things
the right way.” Marriage, kids, living
together for the rest of their lives? “—Well
yeah, but she’s in love with somebody else. “The
mechanic?” “--No, somebody else, he’s my
best friend and besides he told me he’s not it.” “—Oh, I understand now. It doesn’t bother you that she’s been living
with him, though, right? Chelito gives a
major and much deserved eye roll here. “-- Stop bothering me, boy!!”

Lo Imperdonable #114 Fri 10/23/15 Virginia's Luck Seems To Be Running Out
At the n-less hospital, the authorities have come to see Botel so he can give them his statement about being shot.
In Mina Escondida, Marty agrees to assist Raymunda and Joaquin so they can take a look at Crescencio's last will and testament.
At the market, Julio is hard at work. He flashes back (or daydreams) about shopping for baby clothes with Ana Perla. Wait a minute, the two are about to kiss, so this has to be a daydream, riiight? Back in reality, well not really reality, actually it is more like Julio's own little world, anyway back in Julio's own little world, he tells himself that he is sure that he will win Ana Perla's love. He vows to make her the happiest girl ever. Whatever.
Meanwhile, Ana Perla is already the happiest girl ever, because she visits Pablo and greets him with a sweet kiss on the lips. She explains to Pablo that Julio is not living with her and that she only accepted Julio as a Bro-Friend (boyfriend/friend). She wanted to explain so Pablo does not think the worst of her. She accepts that she tried to test Pablo because she was sick and tired of nutty Mariana wanting to separate them. Pablo assures her that he will teach Mariana a lesson. He tells her that he has to leave for New York for the opening of an exhibition. Yes, he is going with Mariana. When he returns he will be the man that Ana Perla wants. He asks Ana Perla to trust him. Ana Perla tells him that she will trust him. Smoochies. Lucia walks in on them and is all smiles.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #44 Fri 10/23/15 (Mex 61) Eh! Your Granny Wears Army Boots!
Mille Grazie once again to Sneaky 2 Shoes for Thursday's recap! YAAAAAY!
Oh, beloved, and long-suffering Muchacha Patio Peeps, tonight will be no exception so come, let us hunker down, grit our teeth, scare the cats, whatever we have to do and get through this!
Diana vows to her Mom that Vitto will be hers! She's not going to let that Italian heffa dash the plans and dreams she has for her life with Mr. Got Rocks! Fifi must have a secret and she's going to find it!
Fiorella runs from Assvaldo and initially puts up a defiant front, threatening to tell Sonia what she saw but Ass boy catches her alone and effectively silences her by threatening to throw her sick sister out in the street!
Benny continues pressing Gianna for what her Dr. told her.
The Private Investigator or Policeman on the phone with Julieta tells her that Sergio's identification was found amidst the ruins of her burnt apartment. Sergio enters the room as she concludes the call and she begins to question him as to the logic, or lack thereof, of Anibal burning down her house. This scene is cringe worthy because Sergio had some yummy cake that Julieta took from him to ask these asinine questions! Sergio gets a phone call from the lawyer handling the Angeles estate, he excuses himself to take the call.
Down the hall, Gael is in session with Alina but he might as well be talking to a blow-up doll: that's how attentive Alina is. Alina apologizes and says she's tired. The tables turn as Gael asks if she is physically or emotionally tired. Gael sits next to Alina and gently offers that listening to so many troubled people can certainly be exhausting. He acknowledges that he realizes she has a personal life, a social life, a love life. Is that what is troubling her? Alina openly cries.

Antes muerta que Lichita #24 Friday 10/23/15: Luciana and Augusto keep blackmailing each other with info... Luciana openly, Augusto not so much... Roberto and Alicia are getting some alone time in L.A.
Lichita enjoying the doctor telling Luciana it will take several days for her to get off the rashes…
Nelson comments that she won’t make it (de esta no la libra)
Gumaro (“Tio Gumis”) playing with Mateo in front of Roberto at the orphanage.
Lo Nuevo:
Luciana still can’t stand the itch… whines to the doctor ‘why me?? Why me?? Tell me!! Why me??’ She does admit she has had this many times before … (its obviously an allergic reaction). When Doctor leaves Luciana swears that Lichita and Elsa will pay for having tried to poison her.
Gumaro leaves Mateo and Roberto alone to say goodbyes… Mateo really wants to go to the beach on the trip with Roberto… Roberto says can’t take him now but promises to take him to the beach very soon, will be back in a couple days.
Roberto swears he is working hard so they will be together and have everything they need. Love you. Love you more. More!
Chuchette and Nestor in office are celebrating that Luciana will be gone for a few days, they wish it were a few months. They also talk about who poisoned Luciana… Nelson not ready to write off Lichita…this would prove she is not as dumb as they thought.
Roberto calls Gumaro from airport… tries to make Gumaro promise he won’t get in trouble. Waiting for Luciana to arrive. Gumaro asks for a souvenir, Roberto says not even a keyring.
Roberto hears what sounds like Lichita, not Luciana, arrive. HE is surprised.
Luciana is staring at her mirror mirror saying she is disfigured… Daphne comes in to mock her some more, do you want me to arrange for your funeral or your trip to Patagonia? See what it feels like now? You who mock me on my weight all the time, now you look ugly. Luciana can’t hold back the rebute that she will get over it in a few days, but Daphne won’t. Daphne leaves feeling down in the dumps.
Lichita explains to Roberto that Luciana can’t go with him because she got an allergic reaction. Lichita came to the airport to go with him because of his text message (which Luciana wrote, not him). She is about to leave, but he won’t let her... he winks at her when Luciana calls his cell phone. Roberto asks Lichita if she is sure sure that she had nothing to do with what happened to Luciana. She swears.
Nacho is heading to work… he is sad that he can’t spend as much time with his family. Elsa says tomorrow Saturday we will spend more time together. Nacho is still not sold on Lichita not having to withstand more bullying at the office.
At Los Angeles, CA…
Lichita and Roberto are sitting next to each other… they are at the hotel getting the room(s). the lady asks if they need one or two rooms… LIchita reluctantly says they need DOS!! When the lady leaves they sit back on the same spots, looking very ackward. They review their agenda for the day, which is in Lichita’s cell phone.
Magos is watching the telenovela. The guy jumps on the girl in bed…
In the kitchen, Elsa is doing her numbers… she gets happy about how much money she made on first day. Ximena is cheering her up… but Magos comes by and spoils the good mood.
Bea calls the saint virgins when she sees Luciana… of course Luciana changes the target of conversation to Daphne and suggests to Bea that she and ‘mi tiito’ should send Daphne to a nun internship school so she could get the right education. Bea promises she will talk to Augusto about it. Then she basically makes Luciana get on her knees and pray together. Luciana complains about her itch so Bea heads to her own bedroom to pray for the both of them. Luciana whines that she is getting bored to death.
Gumaro is having fun on phone with Roberto asking how come they had the substitution between Luciana and Lichita… Gumaro repeats to Roberto that maybe Lichita will be a tougher bone than Luciana. Roberto is afraid he will burn since he is playing with fire. Gumaro asks about losing his relationship with Licha? Yup. Gumaro reminds to him that they both are adults… when there is passion, any spark will lite the fire. Gumaro is right when he tells Roberto that he is afraid to really fall for Lichita.
Lichita is talking to her own romantic counselor, Elsa. Lichita keeps saying that she and Roberto came to do work and work alone. Even in the remote remote case anything happened, she promises Elsa that she would never let anything happen that would harm her. Elsa sighs relief. Lichita says she can’t find decent clothes. Elsa is about to promise she will help pay for a new work wardrobe for Lichita. Lichita reluctant to get in debt… Elsa says if you will go represent Iconika, need to dress and look the part. If you don’t like what you are wearing, use your imagination to change it a bit. You are a creative editor, no?
At another hotel, Sandra and Augusto are going at it… or maybe this is Sandra’s apartment. She is really begging (a bit too much begging for my taste) for some…. Augusto kisses her… but he gets in pain suddenly. Sandra says this (what he went through) is more serious than he said… HE just leaves.
Luciana is texting… then choses to call instead. She calls her dad. As he answers and Luciana sees Augusto walk in the door, she tells her dad to offend him and undermine his creative talents… (she is faking just because of Augusto, but her dad is really hurt by her words) … Then we get some blah blah between Augusto and Luciana… she nags about her rashes… asks him if he is recovered… Luciana asks him how come he almost died from wounds from an accident that looked more like bullet wounds.
At the LA hotel, Lichita and Roberto are walking together and he tells her she looks good… then this very feisty customer or potential customer walks right into them… this guy leaves our Fausto back in the dust as far as loudness and feistiness.
Luciana keeps trying to dig Augusto for information about his supposed ‘accident’. And Draco even faked being him… the nurse commented that his wound seemed more like a bullet wound. Tell me what mess are you into. Did someone try to mug you? She is now leaning on him on the couch and hurting him… did it have to do with something illegal? Or do you think I have a very creative imagination? (fantasia desbordada)
Now we see some commercial including Gumaro and Mayrin Villanueva. New part of lichita.com called Las Gumaradas.
(hurricane report… category 5… looks really bad around Puerto Vallarta coast… lets pray for everyone there … this is the area where the hotel Ana and Fernando spent the weekend in MCET is located)
The feisty client has taken Lichita and Roberto to a colorful texmex restaurant in L A. they are talking business but we can’t hear anything… Lichita and Roberto keep smiling at each other.
Augusto admits his wound was from a bullet but the police could not find enough evidence to determine that it truly had been a bullet. Luciana guesses he had to give out money left and right to make the evidence disappear. Augusto asks how much more will her discretion/silence will cost him. Luciana says she has enough with him supporting her at Iconika. And if you just listened to my convo with my dad, you will realize I prefer you 100 times to the loser of my dad. She has delivered her poison so she takes off whispering through her teeth that her rashes are color coded with her pajamas…
Augusto makes it to the bedroom only to get another woman wanting to talk to him. Bea is trying to be seductive for him while she tells him about Daphne behaving more rebellious and uncontrollable than ever… she suggests they send her to a boarding school… he agrees. Bea keeps doing some weird seductive moves on him… but at the same time saying it is a sin… (who understands her?)
The client has left and Lichita and Roberto talk about the deal… he does tell her that Hispanics are a huge influence in US. (true)… They keep trying to talk business and their fingers find each other’s… suddenly they both pull back… then do some small talk about how the family is doing. Lichita then brings up the VIdeomatic day… that day some really nice things happened, right? (she remembers their kiss and we hear the theme song…) He says they better get the check and leave. He leaves to go find the waiter.
In bed in pajamas, Augusto keeps trying to get away from Bea… he runs to door but she catches him there… (keeps talking about sin … ???) she says sometimes the wishes of the flesh are not so sinful or bad… he keeps pushing her off… his cell phone rings, saving him…
Luciana in her room is remembering her words to her dad and regretting it… or at least trying to figure how she will apologize to him… She calls his phone but her mom answers… she says her dad is depressed for what she told him and whines that she is the one that has to deal with his depression.
Back in master, Bea is now playing with the curtains while he is in bed trying to go to sleep. She suggests she give him a massage and instantly is all over him.
Luciana tells her mom that she won’t let her mom make her feel guilty … mom says he is painting to try to get over his depression. Mom tells her … well, tries to because Luciana insists they won’t make her feel guilty and hangs up on her mother… (wow!)
Bea whines to Augusto that he never lets her have some often enough, and if they did it often enough it would be better… ‘but you never want to… sometimes it looks like you don’t even like it… at least with me’. (and why are you with this guy if you own half of the company??) He tells her she is fine in bed… she says she can prove it once more… nut he rolls her off him and gets up.
Daphne picks up Luciana’s cell phone when it rings and catches Luciana’s mom whining to her about tha authorities in Argentina looking for her because of the engagement ring she stole from the Duke (she also says 'by the way dont even think about returning to Argentina')… Suddenly Luciana comes out of the bathroom and rants at Daphne for having her phone.
Roberto and Lichita are walking away from restaurant. Lichita is worried about Roberto having two different moods or personalities with her… one is almost totally indifferent to her as if they were strangers and the other one is more interested, texts her nice stuff, and kisses her and sweet talks in her ear… Roberto comes up with the excuse that they are tired and tomorrow will be a long day… Lichita gets the sign and says good nite and leaves him alone whispering to himself … flower… messages… kiss… (indiferent? … no way jose! I would say more like smitten or… even enchanted)
(more reports about hurricane Patricia being the strongest ever on record for Mexico)
Daphne tells Luciana that her parents are asleep… so if you plan a new scheme against me … Luciana brags that she is the daughter they always wanted and they will listen to her… no one loves you (Daphne). Daphne says ‘we will see’ and leaves. Luciana can’t wait to see Daphne locked up in a nun boarding school…
Roberto is in front of Lichita’s room door… changes his mind, runs away but returns… is about to knock on the door… knocks and runs back away… Lichita opens the door and wonders who knocked… Roberto comes back and admits he was the one who knocked. HE admits he is confusing her very much with his behavior but swears he is not doing it intentionally. They get really close and Lichita pulls away… Lichita is trying to talk about basically the weird roller coaster he has her riding in... she says he probably thinks she came on to him too hard/fast at the airport... he knows she wants to talk about why he did not hold her hand at the table or what happened at the video recording, including their kiss(es), but he has to say the words for her… Lichita says she wants to make it clear that if she came with him was so they would get to know each other and talk more…
Daphne is talking to her dad… she tells him about the phone conversation about a ‘engagement ring’ they are looking for her about in Argentina. Daphne says her mom would not believe her but he would, right? He assures her he does. But then ‘shooes’ her away. Daphne leaves. Draco comes in. Augusto tells him that just like he was suspecting, Luciana left some unfinished business about some engagement with a Duke in Argentina. He says she thinks she has him eating out of her hand… what she is not suspecting is that he is supporting her only to use her later for his own purposes.
Roberto asks Alicia to say what she wants… Alicia tells him she wasn’t thinking about them making love (this gets a small smile smirk on him)… blah blah… Roberto tells Alicia that he is not confused one iota. He likes her… he admits that if he hugs her it won’t be enough. If he kisses her, how can he resist himself later? "You have no idea what you are provoking in me…" (they both pull close and get into a very heated kiss). They stop only to stare at each other a few moments and then pull back together into a very slow but passionate kiss… (light effects and all).
Previews: Alicia and Roberto are laying in bed staring at each other but are clothed, not sure whether it happened or not…
Luciana tells Roberto she will get payback.

Nelson comments that she won’t make it (de esta no la libra)
Gumaro (“Tio Gumis”) playing with Mateo in front of Roberto at the orphanage.
Lo Nuevo:
Luciana still can’t stand the itch… whines to the doctor ‘why me?? Why me?? Tell me!! Why me??’ She does admit she has had this many times before … (its obviously an allergic reaction). When Doctor leaves Luciana swears that Lichita and Elsa will pay for having tried to poison her.
Gumaro leaves Mateo and Roberto alone to say goodbyes… Mateo really wants to go to the beach on the trip with Roberto… Roberto says can’t take him now but promises to take him to the beach very soon, will be back in a couple days.
Roberto swears he is working hard so they will be together and have everything they need. Love you. Love you more. More!
Chuchette and Nestor in office are celebrating that Luciana will be gone for a few days, they wish it were a few months. They also talk about who poisoned Luciana… Nelson not ready to write off Lichita…this would prove she is not as dumb as they thought.
Roberto calls Gumaro from airport… tries to make Gumaro promise he won’t get in trouble. Waiting for Luciana to arrive. Gumaro asks for a souvenir, Roberto says not even a keyring.
Roberto hears what sounds like Lichita, not Luciana, arrive. HE is surprised.
Luciana is staring at her mirror mirror saying she is disfigured… Daphne comes in to mock her some more, do you want me to arrange for your funeral or your trip to Patagonia? See what it feels like now? You who mock me on my weight all the time, now you look ugly. Luciana can’t hold back the rebute that she will get over it in a few days, but Daphne won’t. Daphne leaves feeling down in the dumps.
Lichita explains to Roberto that Luciana can’t go with him because she got an allergic reaction. Lichita came to the airport to go with him because of his text message (which Luciana wrote, not him). She is about to leave, but he won’t let her... he winks at her when Luciana calls his cell phone. Roberto asks Lichita if she is sure sure that she had nothing to do with what happened to Luciana. She swears.
Nacho is heading to work… he is sad that he can’t spend as much time with his family. Elsa says tomorrow Saturday we will spend more time together. Nacho is still not sold on Lichita not having to withstand more bullying at the office.
At Los Angeles, CA…
Lichita and Roberto are sitting next to each other… they are at the hotel getting the room(s). the lady asks if they need one or two rooms… LIchita reluctantly says they need DOS!! When the lady leaves they sit back on the same spots, looking very ackward. They review their agenda for the day, which is in Lichita’s cell phone.
Magos is watching the telenovela. The guy jumps on the girl in bed…
In the kitchen, Elsa is doing her numbers… she gets happy about how much money she made on first day. Ximena is cheering her up… but Magos comes by and spoils the good mood.
Bea calls the saint virgins when she sees Luciana… of course Luciana changes the target of conversation to Daphne and suggests to Bea that she and ‘mi tiito’ should send Daphne to a nun internship school so she could get the right education. Bea promises she will talk to Augusto about it. Then she basically makes Luciana get on her knees and pray together. Luciana complains about her itch so Bea heads to her own bedroom to pray for the both of them. Luciana whines that she is getting bored to death.
Gumaro is having fun on phone with Roberto asking how come they had the substitution between Luciana and Lichita… Gumaro repeats to Roberto that maybe Lichita will be a tougher bone than Luciana. Roberto is afraid he will burn since he is playing with fire. Gumaro asks about losing his relationship with Licha? Yup. Gumaro reminds to him that they both are adults… when there is passion, any spark will lite the fire. Gumaro is right when he tells Roberto that he is afraid to really fall for Lichita.
Lichita is talking to her own romantic counselor, Elsa. Lichita keeps saying that she and Roberto came to do work and work alone. Even in the remote remote case anything happened, she promises Elsa that she would never let anything happen that would harm her. Elsa sighs relief. Lichita says she can’t find decent clothes. Elsa is about to promise she will help pay for a new work wardrobe for Lichita. Lichita reluctant to get in debt… Elsa says if you will go represent Iconika, need to dress and look the part. If you don’t like what you are wearing, use your imagination to change it a bit. You are a creative editor, no?
At another hotel, Sandra and Augusto are going at it… or maybe this is Sandra’s apartment. She is really begging (a bit too much begging for my taste) for some…. Augusto kisses her… but he gets in pain suddenly. Sandra says this (what he went through) is more serious than he said… HE just leaves.
Luciana is texting… then choses to call instead. She calls her dad. As he answers and Luciana sees Augusto walk in the door, she tells her dad to offend him and undermine his creative talents… (she is faking just because of Augusto, but her dad is really hurt by her words) … Then we get some blah blah between Augusto and Luciana… she nags about her rashes… asks him if he is recovered… Luciana asks him how come he almost died from wounds from an accident that looked more like bullet wounds.
At the LA hotel, Lichita and Roberto are walking together and he tells her she looks good… then this very feisty customer or potential customer walks right into them… this guy leaves our Fausto back in the dust as far as loudness and feistiness.
Luciana keeps trying to dig Augusto for information about his supposed ‘accident’. And Draco even faked being him… the nurse commented that his wound seemed more like a bullet wound. Tell me what mess are you into. Did someone try to mug you? She is now leaning on him on the couch and hurting him… did it have to do with something illegal? Or do you think I have a very creative imagination? (fantasia desbordada)
Now we see some commercial including Gumaro and Mayrin Villanueva. New part of lichita.com called Las Gumaradas.
(hurricane report… category 5… looks really bad around Puerto Vallarta coast… lets pray for everyone there … this is the area where the hotel Ana and Fernando spent the weekend in MCET is located)

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #43 Thu 10/22/15 (Mex 59-60)
Peeps, please welcome Mystery Special Guest Recapper sneaky two shoes!
Hi folks! I'm sneaky two shoes and I will be your temporary fill in recapper for today. You may know me from commenting once on a Muchacha recap in the first week and then disappearing for the next few weeks? months? I've lost track. Life stuff happened and I got behind but I planned to comment when I'd caught up and actually knew what was going on. Well I've just caught up and now I'm doing a recap, so, that's something.
So jumping right in, Sonia's mom is in her bedroom advising her at the top of her voice to switch the DNA test results if necessary, when Os comes in, presumably from exercising, since he is in workout clothes, and wants to know what they are talkin' 'bout huh? huh?

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #73 Thu 10-22-15: Three Cheers for Vivi!
RECAP BY VIVI (thank you Vivi!)
- MD ignores Maleny, who tries to keep MD from seeing Max in the hospital. She pries Mal off of her on her way to the elevator, and pushes her onto her delgada nalgas and smiles with satisfaction as the elevator door closes. I cheer!
-In front of Max’s room, MD has to face down Maleny, Ivana, Claudio and Alma, who all try to prevent her from seeing Max, while throwing her supposed misdeeds in her face. MD tells them all the real deal—she did not cheat on Max, Dan RAPED her, Julian is not the father of her baby- Dan is, and she’s going to send him to jail for the rape! Max hears the commotion and hears everything MD said. He gingerly makes his way to the door, opens it, and tells everyone he’s going to help MD put Dan in jail. MD rushes into Max’s arms, and all is well with the world.

Antes muerta que Lichita #23 Thursday 10/22/15: He/She Who Laughs Last, Laughs Best
Roberto is freaking out over kissing Alicia again! He just cannot stop thinking about her. Gumaro reads between the lines and realizes like a good telenovela bff that Roberto is in luurve. Of course Roberto denies this adamantly.
Braulio and Lichita fantasize about the time when there dreams will become realized. The time where they can speak informally to Don Augusto (umm dont think that will ever happen). They encourage each other while Braulio speculates the cause of her good mood.
Sandra and Don Auguto play kissy in the office. Sandra brings up that Elias position is vacant and he will likely not come back (nooo say it aint so), since he wants to retire from the field. Therefore the position is vacant. Sandra tries to pull the jealous card when Augusto speculates about their (Elias) sex life. He laughs so hard you would think that Sandra told the funniest joke in the world but no he just finds it funny that someone thinks he could ever be jealous of anyone (besides himself). Sandra admits to clearly not knowing him like she thinks and drags him to the meeting. We are then interrupted to creepy music with that mysterious ringtone...along with Sandra we are still not privy to what these calls are about.
Iconika gatherings is a breeding ground for gossip. And if there is gossip it is likely about Lichita. Nestor informs the mean girls that her Mom now works at Iconika but this is old news (These folks should consider a career in writing for gossip columns)
