Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #47 Wed 10/28/15 (Mex 66-67) The Creature from La Dolce Vita
I'm iffy about the neckline on Fed's dress, but other than that I think I really like it. The argument with Dante is the same one they had yesterday, about offing Eloisa.

Antes muerta que Lichita #26 Tuesday 10/27/12: Welcome to Smooch City (Loading 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.

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.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #46 Tue 10/27/15 (Mex 65) Much Boo Hoo about Nothing
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...

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!
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
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."

La Vecina Highlights and Discussion #90-94 Oct. 26-30
Just an Engineer (sung to the tune of Just a Gigolo)
He's just an engineer
The only one who's here
people know the rocket he's making.
Paid for every bit
not selling views of it
ooh, what they're saying!
There will come a day
he'll finally fly away.
What will they say about him?
When that launch comes he'll hear
"What an awesome engineer!"
Why'd they e-ver doubt him?

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #44 Fri 10/23/15 (Mex 61) Eh! Your Granny Wears Army Boots!
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.
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.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #43 Thu 10/22/15 (Mex 59-60)
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?
