At the columbarium Fiorella tells Pedro that thinking of his Mother makes her think of Tania and that it must be hard for him to know they had the same problem.

Antes muerta que Lichita #48 Friday 11/27/15 Engagement party and Alicia tries to pull a 'i can do it all alone!' sprint... very successful with the Mi Can customers... but can she hold the pace?
Braulio tells Lichita (let me share something in your inbox… (LOL!)) that Sandra ordered everyone in the office to boycott her… so she is on her own with ALL the campaign work. Lichita tells us that she then realized that the engagement with Alex did not do anything for her, that she had to EARN her title with her work.
At the café, Nacho and Elsa comment it was good to leave LIchita out of the mess of the coffee cart at the office. Meanwhile Ximena’s dad (can’t remember his nick) is trying to make a tower of donuts and cinnamon rolls for display… too much touching and too little work if you ask me… Nacho and Elsa are glad the coffee shop is starting up… but Elsa wonders who she can get to handle the cart at Iconika… Ximena’s dad offers his services… Nacho says heck no! but Ximena’s dad says it is Elsa’s final word and puts his arm around her… LOL!
Valeria and Luciana are talking to her dad on the web… Luciana assures Rafael that her fiancée is a great guy… Rafael is more interested in showing them his new painting, which looks like a mix of Luciana and Valeria… Luciana is like ‘ah….. well….. hu….. ‘ ‘cute!’ Luciana leaves. Rafael tells Valeria that he feels he deserves that for treating Luciana like he has…
Elias is trying to encourage Lichita… but reminds her she has a LOT of work to do… and asks ‘why are you trying to show this front of ‘I can do it all, you will see!’? Luciana asks if he will watch her or help out… he responds ‘I’ll watch!’ LOL!!
Rafael continues with Valeria, says he feels abandoned over there in Buenos Aires alone… Valeria tells him she does miss a bit of BA, but here she has a much more fulfilling life… so forget it if you are sitting and waiting for her to return. Rafael tells her ‘don’t you feel like you are sitting as permanent guests there? Don’t you feel bad about it? ‘ Valeria says no way with this caseron! (huge mansion) they are staying at… Rafael then gets a bit hopeful ‘you think they are beginning to forgive me?’
Roberto asks Luciana if she does not think their engagement was a bit rushed and they should call it off. Luciana says no way Jose!
Fatima tells LIchita about the guy with the cart was selling pirate merchandise… Fatima also tells Lichita that she had caught Magos doing it when Magos was the one handling the cart… Lichita and her conclude it was Magos doing (or at least the one that started) the pirate selling, not the guy that got fired. Lichita is about to shoot fire out her mouth she is so mad with Magos...

Antes Muerta que Lichita #47 Thursday 11/26/15: Nepotism, Lies & Backstabbing...Just Another Day in Iconika
Lets get on to the show as the people of Iconika did not slow down with their shenanigans due to the holidays.
Alicia decides to tell half truths to her mother and does a bad job of convincing Elsa she is not marrying Alex for purely business reasons. To Alicia's credit she admits that she is not in love with Alex but he is basically like a best friend. Elsa tries to reason with Alicia that marriage is hard enough as it is. You need to find someone that you can see as your husband...etc. Alicia eventually cuts her mom off saying that she knows what she is doing. She made her decision and Elsa cannot talk her out of it. Elsa walks away with tears.
Luciana is having one of her wash, rinse, repeat scenes with Don Augusto about getting back at Alicia. She wants her humiliation to happen like yesterday and for Beto to go far in the company. Even Don Augusto is tired of her antics and puts her on a timer.
Don't you want to just pinch my cheeks. I'm so cute! |
Sandra calls a meeting with the creative directors, minus Alicia, to make it clear that Alicia she not be given special treatment even though she is the fiance of Alex. She basically wants them to make her job harder...not to help her...etc.
Fatima asks Alicia why she is not at the meeting when all the other creative directors are there. Alicia joins everyone just as Sandra ends the meeting. Alicia holds Sandra back to try to clear things with her. However, Sandra is not ready to let the chip on shoulder thaw. Sandra tries to put Alicia in her place foreshadowing that she has her work cut out for her. Alicia does not cower.

Eladio's bodyguard seperates Art and Eladio and Eladio leaves with a smile on his face.
Connie continues her talk with Clarita about her doomed marriage. Gisela arrives and disapproves of their friendship and wonders why Connie doesn't at least help out her friend by giving her some money. Clarita tells Connie to not pay attention to her. Connie is willing to give Clarita money but CLarita doesn't want any. Their conversation returns to the doomed marriage and Clarita asks Connie what she will do if she finds Erick with his lover. Connie doesn't know what she would do. Clarita asks if Connie is willing to get a divorce. Connie just wishes that this was all a bad dream, or that Erick would wake up and leave his lover. Connie says she can not live without Erick.

Antes muerta que Lichita #46 Wednesday 11/25/15
We are back at the awards presentation where Luciana is accepting Roberto's proposal. He is staring right at Alicia with his big sad puppy dog eyes(don't do anything for me anymore). Alicia is not a happy camper. Her reaction is so apparent, Alex asks her if she is okay. Of course, she is. Beatriz is not happy that she did not know ahead of time about Alex's "surprise" engagement and tells Augusto as much. Augusto says they wanted it to be a surprise and that he himself was surprised by Roberto and Luciana's engagement. Alicia is getting the same reaction from her parents who did not appreciate being "surprised" at all. Beatriz comes over with Alex and Augusto to complain to Alicia and Alex that she is angry because they only left Augusto in on the secret. Augusto tries to smooth it all over and gets Nacho to reluctantly agree that the important thing is to celebrate their children's engagement.
Somewhere else in the room Valeria is congratulating Roberto and Luciana and talking about how they have to inform her father. Augusto appears with some champagne to make a toast and approaches Roberto who apologizes for not telling him about the engagement ahead of time. No problem, Augusto is there to make a toast with them all for Alex and Alicia.
Augusto notices a pensive Sandra leaving the room and follows her to a side hall. He wants to know what he can do for her. She understands the promotion for Alicia now that she knows she is going to be Augusto's daughter in law. Augusto asks her not to make a scene because Beatriz is there and she might figure things out. She is sick of being second. Augusto tells her he only loves her and roughly grabs her to kiss her. Surprise! Elías in his top hat catches them. He wonders out loud if Sandra and Augusto are all alone to deal with some work issue or maybe something more intimate.
At the mansion, Dafne is having a good time blogging about her surviving her first day at school, explaining it all to Yesenia the maid, and eating French fries.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #65 Tue 11/24/15 (Mex 94) The Italian Girl Who Came To Get Married...In Which the Men Stand Up For Themselves...Some of Them Anyway
Aitana want Pietro to come to her dress fitting, the dress will look just like his mom’s wedding dress. Pietro is touched, but when she asks if he misses her, meaning his mom, he thinks of Fiorella, and tells her he knows he is marrying the woman who can make him forget (blech)
Quina thinks Fidel doesn’t respect her after her confession, Fidel is cool with her but has lost respect for Max even though he already knew he cheated. Quina tells the whole story; she was young and impressionable, he was powerful and horny, and whoosh Roxi came along, at first he wanted to give her money to go away and he would keep the kid but she didn’t want to separate from her daughter so he handled things his way and she came to work on the day Roxi was adopted, look how well that turned out.
In true telenovela fashion Quina doesn’t want to tell Roxi what she should know because it would make her unhappy (show of hands, anybody who doesn’t think Roxi would be better off, and less annoying, knowing Joaquina is her real mommy -- yeah I thought not)

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #45 Tuesday 11/24/15: The big fiesta
Magos bumps into an oafish guy. Perhaps he's actually the father? Yes! He's the Dad, he never knew about the kid and didn't flee like Magos told everyone! Chaclas (the oafish dude) is as surprised as Magos' parents! But he rolls with it and seems delighted to be a new part of the family (despite Elsa and Nacho's obvious disapproval.
Elsa and Nacho, not particularly thrilled to meet the father of their granddaughter |

Antes muerta que Lichita #44 Monday 11/23/15: the worm continues to turn
Gumaro, who literally ran into Luciana outside the restaurant where Roberto is meeting with his lawyer, flirts hard with her, partially to save Roberto's ass and partially because he is very attracted to her. She calls him an indio sin gracia (play on her usual idiosincracia) and complains about the hairy guys and human contamination in Nacolandia.
Marlene Garbo wants to be Cleopatra in her own ads, with a few hundred extras, and pyramids. Or, instead, she'll be a Roman emperess and kill Christians in a coliseum. Alicia and Elias point out that these ideas, while undoubtedly magnificent, would be expensive and would not sell her products. Here's what they think:
Elias and Marlene continue their flirtation and are soul-gazing with joined hands when Sandra comes in.
Later Elias tells Sandra: Marlene doesn't like any of our ideas, we are are "un cero a la izquierda," that is, zero, "as our marriage was" - but when Sandra evinces jealousy he lights up and says, maybe our marriage was better than I thought - maybe 0.5 from the left on the meter.
Magos' revolting pole dance wriggling in front of the Guero continues though he says, "I don't want any more coffee! And I love my fiancee and we're getting married soon!" By accident Magos, Guero, and the door collide and he has to go to the hospital with a broken nose. Magos follows and offers him coffee there, too. Just when she tells him Ximena is his daughter, his fiancee shows up (of course), hears all, and leaves in tears.
The Guero finally tells Magos that the night she woke up next to him, naked as Eve, they hadn't had sex. "You were drunk and sad because Chanclas was cheating on you. I was a gentleman, I didn't take advantage of you." She is astounded, has the grace to be embarrassed, and goes to his girlfriend's house to confess her idiot behavior and declare: Guero is completely innocent. He shows up, proposes to Vanessa, they embrace, and Magos has finally done something right.
Augusto asks Roberto to keep Luciana away from the house so the engagement dinner with Alex and Alicia can be peaceful. At a restaurant, Luciana tells Roberto Alicia will soon be fired, confesses her escapade escaping the Duke but keeping his ring, and that she's under a warrant for arrest back home in Argentina. She wants some confessions from him too but he resists. She pries: is Mateo really just your nephew?
At the mansion, during the glacial family dinner, Augusto and Beatriz laud appearances and united families. "It's one thing on the outside and another on the inside," Alex says. "If so, it's for a good cause," purrs Bea. "Lies are a sin," reminds Dafne, who goes off to have a cozy chat with Alicia about how hard school is and how she'll never have friends. Alicia tells her to be strong "and you always have me."

Artie tells Augustin that he knows that he will see Julia again. He can tell by the look in her eyes that she still pines for him.
Later, Artie tells Erick that the company website is down and the guests can't make reservations. Artie takes a swig of a stiff drink after he learns that Erick has known about the problem for a while and said nothing. Erick is obviously his dumb son so, Art says that he's going to have Miguel, his smart son, look into this immediately. Erick tells Art that Miguel is a hermit-nerd. Art says that Miguel is a hermit-nerd that supports himself. Erick gets all offended and leaves.
Later during a meeting with Mike (Miguel), Artie enjoys a cup of soothing tea. Artie believes that this is the job of Eladio. Miguel says that he can't prove it.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #64 Mon 11/23/15 (Mex 93) Two Revelations and a Tease
Ciao a tutti! Hey, y'all! Here's the low down on tonight's show: down, dirty, and not necessarily in order of broadcast!
Diana finds a letter addressed to Fiorella from Fiorella's late Father, Mario, in Vitto's safe. She opens it and we only get a few tantalizing words: "My dearest Fiorella, in these, my dying moments, I must tell you a truth that I cannot take to my grave. You need to know that. . . ." Diana gasps and smiles and we don't get to hear the rest. She puts the letter back in its envelope.
Roxi and Benni have dinner. She thanks him for calling off Quina: she's always on Roxi's case. Well, Quina is her Nana, it's to be expected. Nanna, yes, Mama, no! We have a few interchanges in which Benni shows he's a poor, ignorant hick. Roxi thinks Benni is a diamond in the rough and hires a personal coach to remove all the crud and shine up all the facets of his sparkling personality.
