Pasión y Poder #34 Martes 12/22/15



Chapter 34: House of Cards

David arrived only to be confronted by Eladio, who held up the photo of himself and Regina.
Why did you conceal your relationship with Regina Montenegro?” he demanded. His voice couldn't have been colder.
At the same moment Daniela tattled on her sister to their mother, handing her another copy of the same photo, also telling her that she had tipped off Eladio. Nina, who needed no excuse to ever be displeased with her older daughter, did not want to believe it. Daniela grinned to herself. She was a slightly older version of a typical Mean Girl in a sorority who loved playing nasty tricks on anyone she hated. She hated no one more than her older sister. However, she had no idea she had done a swan dive into a sea of sharks.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #84 Tue 12/22/15 (Mex 117) "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."**

After a good 4 minutes of refrito, we get back to the action in progress.  Fi stands firm--Vitto is a big lying liar and a creep who pressured her into marrying him for months, but now it is O-V-E-R.  Vitto looks like he'd like to keel over now, for realz, and I sure wouldn't mind if he did.

Gael sneaks into Gi's room and she freaks out thinking it's Aitana coming to torture her some more. He's just after a good night kiss.  He's feeling a little bolder since he figures everyone's preoccupied with Eloisa, so nobody's going to notice that he's sneaking into his girlfriend's room at night.  Gael has something to do tomorrow, so he won't be at school, even though they're "cumpliendo meses" (it's their month-iversary) and Gi was hoping they'd do something special to celebrate.

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #63 Monday 12/21/15

Beto and his brother Gumaro corner Venus at her apartment, demanding to know what's going on at the orphanage (the changing of the employees and blocking out Beto). She is annoyed at the intrusion, but actually seems a bit sympathetic. In all her years as a social worker she's never seen such an extreme response by the authorities. She can't prove anything, but she's sure that something is afoot.

Meanwhile, Mateo is being trotted out to meet a proposed match family. One of the sister literally drags him out with a hand around his neck. It's very creepy. They tell him it's a rare opportunity to find a family and want to know on the spot if he's ready to go with them.
The neck-grasp is kind of spooky.

The newly cinderella-ed Alicia (who, with her new hair, makeup, and skimpy dress, looks so much like the rest of the office bimbos that I initially thought she was a new character) meets with a guy who wants to hire Ikonica to help his company (the Agrotec group) with an image problem. They've been sourcing their coffee somewhere bad (he had to whisper it) and using lots of pesticides. "You'll be perfect," he says, because she managed to beat her own image problem from the scandal that was basically just a week ago.

She says she won't do it on ethical grounds. Icónika won't be involved in that sort of whitewashing. He accuses her of hypocrisy... after all Alicia did a great job of salvaging her own ruined reputation.

There's a weird bit with Magos on the phone with the bank, trying to sort out credit card debt. Nacho misinterprets what's she's saying and tries to correct her grammar and manners.

Dafne and Alicia forgive each other and decide to be friends again.

Haha, even though Luciana isn't creative director anymore, she refuses to vacate the creative director's office.  Rafael, though, has realized that she must have some dirt or some hidden influence over her uncle Augusto. Why else would he put up with her shit for so long?

Beto is telling Augusto that he wants to move out of his house, that he's a man who "takes the reins of his own destiny," but Augusto thinks he should stay. He reveals to Beto that he's grooming him to be his right-hand man and successor in all things!!! He can no longer count on Alex, so it's all on Beto. 

Alicia tells Sandra she doesn't think they should do the ad campaign for the unethical coffee people. Sandra doesn't take this defiance lightly. She drags Alicia straight to Augusto's office to complain. Augusto immediately takes Alicia's side, further enraging Godzilla.  

Not their finest moment

Pasión y Poder #33 Monday 12/21/2015

This is really out of order and unedited!  I am sick as a dog.  I'll try to fix it in the morning. 


MONTENEGRO

Tabasco-

Regina asks Art to tell her the truth about her relationship with Julia; her happiness depends on it.  Art wants to know what she means by that.  Gina tells him that Nina wants her to get all the juicy details about their relationship from David.  Art is incensed!  Nina walks in wearing some sort of Nina, plunging, boobie baring, sleeveless sea foam green maxi dress.  Her unmovable-hair is adorned with a kind of chain-like contraption.  Art tells Gina to leave them alone.  Once alone with his wife, Art lights into his wife.  How dare she not trust him!  How dare she ask Gina to spy for her!  Nina says that they are been arguing for a while over the their adults and Art never tells her anything.  Art says he can't stand it anymore.  He wants the big D.  Nina begs him for another chance.  She'll do better, she'll change.  She cries.  She begs!  OMGosh!  I feel so sorry for her. I don't like her and therefor, I don't want to feel sorry for her!  Art is such a jerk!  She wants him to go to the hotel room so they can talk.  Art tells her to go back to Mexico.  They will make the final decision there.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #83 Monday12-21-15 (Mex 115-116) Fiorella gives Vitto a Piece of her Mind and we hope she has some left!

Ciao!  How y'all are?  Picking right up where we left off with Pedro learning that once dementia starts, it's very difficult to reverse the damage.  Pedro is visibly moved and remarks that he never expected this to happen and that just recently Eloisa was so good.  Dr. Elizalde just wants to make sure Pedro understands and doesn't have any false hopes.  Dr. Elizalde also suggests that she get her legal affairs in order and advises Pedro to be very patient with her.  Pedro agrees he must step forward to take charge of ACorp and the family!

First on his list is to get in touch with Fabio.  Darn!  Still no answer!  Fidel knocks and is invited into the study.  They discuss Pedro's failure to reach Fabio.  Pedro wonders if Fabio could be working with Benigno and Aitana.  Fidel thinks this is possible and why Fabio has made himself scarce.  There must be a way to expose Benigno but Pedro doesn't know what to do or who to trust.  Fidel asks if Assvaldo is a good option and Pedro says no, his consuming interest has been wanting to head the family and the business and he doesn't trust him.  Fidel asks Pedro if he thinks Assvaldo could be an accomplice of Benigno and the music ramps up quickly in a feverish crescendo!!!  Pedro says no, he doesn't think so:  Assvaldo would never do anything that would threaten his own self interests and my heart takes a dive!!!  AAAAAGH!!!!  Fidel advises then that Pedro should go to Assvaldo and get his help!  FIDEL!!

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #112 Lunes 12/21/15



Chapter 112: A Day Late and a Dollar Short

Maria Dolores asked the nurse if the test was done. The nurse answered that it was and left. Maria Dolores didn't even count to three before removing the IV needle and getting out of bed. She headed down the nearest stairs and asked the way to the neonatology.
Meanwhile in that ward Ivana was holding Maria Dolores' newborn daughter. The nurse who had been bribed by Mama Bear told her she was holding the baby correctly against her skin so the baby could feel her body heat. Danny-Boy leaned over the baby from Ivana's left side. It was just as well that he wore the surgical mask; the poor infant would have been frightened out of a year's growth at the sight of him. He began talking to the baby who was reaching at random and looking away from him. She turned away from the sound of his voice. Smart baby.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #111 Friday 12/18/15

I’m filling in for JdesdeNYC. I had no ccs for this one, so I did the best I could with understanding what’s going on. No doubt I missed stuff and got stuff wrong. If you would kindly point it out in the comments, I will make adjustments to the recap.

We start where we ended yesterday with Alma reaming out Claudio for what he’s done to her and the family, etc. Hangdog stoneface leaves the room.

MD and Max are talking in the hospital after she gave birth about Claudio’s involvement in her continued stay at the prison. After asking the same question we all have been asking, why, Max’s said that Ursula had continued threatening him about outing his slimy reputation so he agreed to slime it some more by doing what she asked.
She tells him that the Santibanez want to take their baby from them too. She pleads with him to not let the baby out of his sight.

Pasión y Poder Episode #32 Friday, December 18th 2015 Erick gets busted with his Ratt (then loses her), David returns his early Xmas gift, and Clara vows to travel from rags to riches.

As you may recall, The Ratt showed up in Tabasco and now she and Erick are about to have a quickie in one of the offices. Artie is about to be left scarred for life as he is about to open the door and catch his son with his hands in the cookie jar, or in this case, with his hands on The Ratt's melons. Over on The Patio, we all want Erick to get busted, so we are all very disappointed when Artie is interrupted from opening the office by a phone call. The caller is none other than his love interest- Julia. 

So like father, like son. While the son is busy with his lover, the father is busy taking a call from the woman that he's been mooning over. Julia tells Artie that she has something VERY important that she needs to ask him and that she wants to see him. This is music to Artie's ears, because as we know, he has been dying to see her too. However, he doesn't want to get her into trouble with hubs (Oh, so now you're worried about getting her in trouble. A little late for that, Artie!). Artie tells her about his run in with David- and omitting the fact that he told David that he had the hots for his mom- he only tells Julia that he told David that he had found out that she was in the hospital and wanted to see her. Julia doesn't know where or when the two could possibly talk. Artie tells her that he'll find a way once he returns. He suggests enlisting Gabriela in Mission: See My Ex Behind My Spouse's Back. Julia does the right thing and tells Artie that she doesn't want to get Gabriela involved. Artie wonders if what Julia has to tell him is urgent because if it is then he's willing to slay the dragon, climb the tallest mountain, sail the seven seas, and lose millions in his business deal, to come and see her right now. Julia decides to let him know right then there what she wants to ask him because she fears that something bad could happen to her. She asks Artie to look after David and to make sure he's well feed, that he changes his underwear, and that he doesn't miss his bedtime to take care of him like a son if anything bad happens to her. (Yikes, someone should tell Julia that Artie isn't exactly Father of the Year material!)

Oh the horror. Inside the office, The Ratt is about to remove her Forever 21 bra. As I am about to shut my eyes (after being scarred for life over seeing her booty) Erick asks The Ratt not to remove any more clothing because he's worried that his dad could arrive at any moment. Erick would rather get down to business at the cheap hotel she's probably staying at at the hotel where she's at. The Ratt lets him know that she's at one of the Montenegro hotels. Erick tells her to switch hotels because his dad could be at the one she's staying at.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #82 Friday 12-18-15 (Mex 114) I Love You and I Want to Shout it to the Four. . . . walls. . .

Aitana and Assvaldo continue their illicit face-sucking in the study as Pedro heads toward them when he is stopped by Sergio who grabs him up in a bear hug and tells him how glad he is he has returned.  Sergio tells him he must see his Abuela.  Pedro agrees and is headed to the door once again.  Aitana tears Assvaldo's lips from her own, whispering loudly that Pedro is there.  Assvaldo doesn't seem to care.  Sergio now wants to know what happened. . .is Pedro starting to have panic attacks as well?  Pedro finally pulls away and is about to enter the study when Aitana steps out of the study and confronts him while Assvaldo stands just behind the study door.  Of course she wants to know why he humiliated her by leaving her at the altar.  Pedro's gaze is cold and piercing as he listens to her repeat the question five different ways.  Sergio comes behind Pedro's shoulder and quietly tries to suggest that Pedro ask to be pardoned.  Pedro is silent but his glare full of contempt and I can almost hear him calling her a lying, cynical, thieving, %^&*(!  "Oh, you're not going to say anything?  Well, you and I are going to have a serious talk, right now!" and she grabs Pedro's arm and he wrenches it away forcefully and vehemently:  "Don't touch me!  I'm going to talk to my Abuela."  He looks around the corner, but not fully and so misses the ass behind the door.  Pedro turns on his heels and heads hurriedly toward the stairs with Sergio right behind him.  Aitana stares after them with a look of surprise and recognition that Pedro has changed.  Assvaldo steps out and gloats that she saved them.  Aitana declares that Pedro, however, will NOT be saved!

Antes muerta que LIchita #62 Friday 12/18/15... Out with the old and in with the new Alicia!! And the reactions don't take long to surface!!

Not sure how much I missed or how we got here… haven’t been able to see much this week…
But here we go for Friday’s ep…
Alicia arrives in a high end sports car at Iconika’s curb… the press are all over her instantly… and so is Luciana who does not waste time to throw her venom and typical surnames of her for Lichita…
Augustus tells the press that the details of how she got fired and then reinstated (now saying she is indispensable for the company) with a better title are internal business of Iconika.  
The press want to know who’s mistake or mishap was it that caused Alicia to get fired… Augustus repeats that the details don’t matter but Iconika has one of its best assets back.
Roberto had not seen Alicia and he is smitten with her change (brows, long lighter color hair, good makeup, very sexy cleavage tight dress, etc).
Daphne is again on her blog… Bea comes in to innocently ask if she watched Alicia’s interview on tv.  Daphne says won’t give her opinion, better Bea watch it on her own and make her own assessment.  Bea asks her if she (by any chance) has it available.
Back to the curbside… Alicia tells the press she is very grateful to Augustus… Luciana still is grinding her teeth with Roberto and repeating her choice surnames for Alicia loudly so the press will hear.
Rafael and Bea are talking. He is admiring how Alicia did not fall for the pressure from the press (amarillismo)…  Bea asks him to try to get some help from Augustus.  She assures him Augustus won’t refuse to help him. (sorry, not sure what this one is about).
At office Augustus is telling Drago that Alicia looks spectacular and she deserved that change... and I did too! (is he suddenly interested in Alicia himself?)
At the office reception desk Alicia causes quite an impression with Nestor, Braulio, et al everyone else at the office.
In conference room Augustus is officially letting everyone know that Alicia is back and higher than ever.  Shushette and Nestor are of course kissing A___ again to the one in the lead (now Alicia) … Luciana again tries to talk trash about Alicia…  In comes Sandra and she is loudly insulted that Alicia is back. (I can’t believe such outrage [descaro]!!)
At café shop, Elsa is concerned about Alicia being back in Iconika… Nacho is not so concerned, he believes Alicia deserves the position.   Magos always with her own agenda, is glad Alicia is back in her job so she can take over the payments of the house and school again.
In Augustus office, Sandra rants at Augustus (you knew Alex was gay!!, the marriage with Gutierrez was arranged!)  she swings her fan fast and Augustus gets really fed up with her ranting AND with her fan, which ends up shredded on the floor…  Augustus tells Sandra that she herself had stated that Luciana was not qualified to be the Director.  So if Alicia is useful she will stay! And whoever is not…. (snap snap fingers) is gone!!
Alicia is meeting with all the staff… She is leading again… the only one who is not either honestly or fakedly supporting her is of course Luciana who continues to try to undermine Alicia.  Luciana won’t give up her office and that is FINAL!! Then Luciana tries to pull out the card of her last name… Alicia says last names here are not determining, hard work is…  She sends everyone to work… Brisa and Brau stay behind… they say they are not recognizing Alicia, she had never been that intense (or … ‘tan asi’ as Braulio states it)… Alicia says she has to get everyone to respect her, and is nothing against them… now the three of us are a team and that’s what matters.

Antes muerta que Lichita #61 Thursday 12/17/15

Update: Clearly, it is not a good idea to watch and write a recap while you are traveling. I was not able to recap due to airport delays and crappy internet. Below is the only thing I have which is not much. Please fill in what I missed in the comments. Sorry :(

We begin with Alicia catching up with all those who have been snoozing during these episodes. Alicia finds out about Beto's lies and she refuses to listen to him further. Beto gets married to Luci but prior to Alex and Alicia's vows Kenny runs in to stop the wedding. Alex walks hand in hand with Kenny towards the light leaving a grateful Alicia to deal with the nasty aftermath. In short she loses her job, the press hounds her and she ends up threatening negotiating with Don Augusto for her old job.

Pasión y Poder, Episode 31, Thursday, December 17, 2015: In which Gaby finally puts on her big-girl pants. And so does Julia.

Pasi
Before we get into tonight's story, let's take a moment to give thanks for the absence of the exceedingly unpleasant Joshua, whose invisible parents had the grace to send him to some equally invisible location, thus rendering him, in effect, invisible.  And now, on with the show!

Outside Julia's room in the ICU
David is pleading with Arturo – if he feels any love for Julia, he'll leave before Eladio gets there.  It looks as if Arturo finally gets it.  He tells David to call on him if there's anything he can do.  This offer seems to make David drop his guard.  "My mom's going to be okay..." he says, his voice almost breaking, turning the statement into a question or a prayer.  Arturo pats him on the shoulder and, touching his cheek in a tender, paternal gesture – which, had Eladio witnessed it, would have trumped any DNA test known to science – assures him that yes, she's going to be fine.

In the Montenegro home, Regina and Miguel compare notes.
They realize that Julia wasn't just an old flame of Arturo's – she was the love of his life, the love he gave up when he married Miguel's mother.  Miguel says it's sad to think that he's the cause of his father's unhappiness, though Regina is quick to tell him that is not the case.  The siblings muse on what might have been, and then return to reality: Arturo is married to that insufferable... um... to Regina's mother and Julia to David's father.  Miguel just hopes the past romance doesn't affect Regina and David's love.  So does Regina.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo #110 Thursday 12/17/15: A Child Is Born (...in a world of monsters)

Rewind: Doris shares her fears and annoyances about the other women in Orlando’s life with Nanis. In the prison, the warden sends her flunkies off of get a spare key before the Abuela kills MD rather than let her give birth to her baby. The Bitter, Crazy Grief twins storm past an overwhelmed maid to get into the Bustamante house. Max and Leo ask them to leave because their sick mother doesn’t need more crap. “I know she’s kicking the bucket, but so are we – dead in life, two mothers without children!” (We’re barely two minutes in and the rage that wells up in me at this demonstration of Josefa’s selfishness almost chokes me.) Claudio asks Hon how they can help her and she responds that she just wants justice for Julian, which won’t happen if he keeps using his influence to push MD’s hearing back. Cara de horrified “WTH?!” from Max.The Abuela proves to be the absolute worst labor coach in history. It’s not her fault; she’s just confused the “hee hee hoo hoo” chant with “it’s better that your baby die…it’ll me a monster like its father…it’s better that it die now, before it sees and feels…” She keeps up this stream of chatter while poking at MD, thinking that she’s taken the miscarriage pill. When MD reveals that she hasn’t, the Abuela starts smacking and pulling at her, enraged.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #81 Thu 12/17/15 (Mex 112-113) Honeymoon Interruptus

Diana breaks it to her mom that they've got a new roomie.  And there he is at the door, right on cue.

Aitana and Os wander over to the love cabin, defiling it with their presence.

To the accompaniment of the overenthusiastic synth player, the singer belts out the theme song.  I object to the excess of bass.  Fi and Pedro are already snogging before the JP can even finish pronouncing them man and wife.  Lol, one of her flowers even came partly dislodged in their enthusiasm.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #80 Wed 12/16/15 (Mex 111) Talk about putting the cart before the horse!

Gianna is begging to be let out of the sauna, but Aitana keeps demanding answers.  She sticks to her story…good girl!  Gael comes along and hears her shouting.  Aitana and Os threaten her to keep quiet and tell Gael that Gianna's trapped in the sauna, the thermostat is busted, and the door got locked accidentally.  Aitana opens the door and Gianna is whisked away by Gael, who doesn't look like he believed their story one bit.  The Os/Aitana foreplay continues.

Eloisa's doctor says the results are conclusive--she has anemia.  Fed's relieved.  Mostly she needs to change her diet to get more iron…and stop drinking coffee.  "To hell with that!" says El.  Also, her BP is high, so she needs her meds upped for that.  That's apparently the purpose of the magic drops.  And if she doesn't take care of herself, she'll end up having a stroke.  El kicks everyone out of her room.  Hey, that's a great way to lower her blood pressure instantly!
