Antes Muerta que Lichita #66 Friday 12/25/15 The honeymoon is shortened... The new competitor coffee shop steals customers... and Alicia, Braulio and Brisa have a very very bad day.
New admin lady at the orphanage tells Roberto from behind door that Mateo was taken from the home. Mateo was already adopted by a couple. Roberto is in disbelief. Wants to confirm it with his own eyes. Door opens and you can see the scared face of Roberto walking in… he runs to Mateo’s bed to see it empty and made up.
Ximena asks Nacho if the clients will come back… Nacho tries to comfort her lying that the people at the coffee shop across the street are just letting the clients try their coffee. Elsa is upset, what are we going to do? Magos can only whine (cry over water past the bridge).
Magos gets a call from a guy that we don’t know yet… well, turns out he is the guy from the collections company trying to get her to pay the credit card.
Roberto finds some stair steps to sit and cry…
Lichita and Sandra are still at their conversation. Sandra has another heat flash of her meno… Lichita offers to drive Sandra home… Sandra is a bit rough questioning if she means to come in the public bus (pesero) or taxi… Lichita says no, in the company car she has.
Elsa can’t stand the curiosity, wants to taste/try the coffee from across the street to see if it is truly better than hers.
The admin lady assures Roberto that Mateo’s adoption was legal… He doubts it, he says they can’t take his parental rights… The lady assures him it is a done deal. Roberto says we’ll see about that.
At the car, Roberto tells Luciana that they took his son away. Luciana still is not taking him very seriously, asks if he is feverish, then wants him to come to the house to rest… he just walks away and sends her to the house. Luciana comments that she thinks he is delirious.
Luciana is driving Sandra home, is driving pretty pretty slow… gets people to drive around her… she yells at another driver… Sandra is probably sure this is her last ‘ride’ with Lichita.
At the house, Rafa and Val are questioning Bea for running out on her psychologist appointment. Bea would rather talk to her confessor/priest about her worries/woes. Then Luciana comes home and Valeria turns her attention to her asking questions about where Roberto is.
Roberto and Gumaro meet. Apparently Roberto is at the Vidal couple (Marta’s), since Roberto thinks they were the ones that adopted Mateo… Gumaro says if they have him they won’t hurt him. Roberto then wonders if they don’t have him, what if it is other people?
Luciana tells parents she got bored with beach… (really??) She says her husband is workaholic… and he had to come back directly to the API… Valeria leaves toward kitchen, Rafa asks Luciana for the truth, why did they come back earlier. Luciana is not ready to give details, so walks away on him.
Magos is still on phone with the guy from collection company. Ximena has to deal with a potential client but when he sees it is Ximena trying to serve him while Magos is on cell phone, he leaves miffed.
Magos still not willing to pay.
Nacho and Elsa come back… she says coffee is not bad but the prices are still mysterious… Some other potential clients come… since they see Nacho and Elsa have cups from the other business, they go over there. Elsa is lamenting their luck.

Familiarize Yourself with the Background of "The Hotel of Secrets" - Starts 1/25/16
It’s 1905 and an unexpected encounter in a train will change the lives
of Isabel Alarcon and Julio Olmedo. They
sit together at the same table and realize that neither of the two of them belongs
to the places from which they come.
Protected
by anonymity and the brevity of the train trip, they speak of their dreams and
desires. Julio jumps off the train
without saying good-bye, thinking that he’ll never again meet up with this
fantastic being that Fate lent to him for a few hours.
Juliio arrives at The Grand
Hotel in order to look for his sister, Cristina. However, he receives a nasty surprise: that
his sister was fired and nobody has had any idea of her whereabouts for a month
now. From this moment a search will
begin that will take him along unimagined pathways; he will unearth each hidden
mystery at the majestic hotel; and he will begin a stormy and passionate
romance with Isabel.
Isabel and Julio will have to traverse a river of blood not only to
find out the truth about Cristina, but to succeed in freeing themselves from
the trials and tribulations that have marked their lives.

Pasión y Poder #35, Wednesday, 12-23-2015
Hey Patio Peeps. It will be short and sweet tonight. It's Christmas Eve and I'm up to by elbows in flour.
Lo Nuevo...
The Rat and Aldo are in the hospital. Erick comes to visit her and they tell him that she wanted to die because she found out about Connie's pregnancy.
When David asks Art why he went to visit his mother Art tells David that he happened to be at the hospital when he found out that Julia was there and wanted to see how she was, but promised to never do something like that again. Art accepts David and Regina's relationship and he tells David that he reminds him of Julia. Art also tells David that he would take care of him as his own son if Julia asked him to. Regina comes in and is happy that her father is ok with their relationship.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #114, Wednesday 12/23/15: Josefa Tries to Pull the Plug on Isela, But Pulls the Trigger on Alma Instead
Happy Holidays,
Amigos! I’m sure most of you are gearing up for festivities or traveling right
now, so I’m not going to put a lot of time in the recap. It will be done from
memory. Enjoy the next few days with family and friends!
In the hospital, Josefa tells Clod that Isela threw herself
from the 2nd floor balcony after she found out what a lying liar who
lies he is. In the background, Honoria looks like she wants to sing a rousing
verse of liar liar pants on fire. But Clod isn’t fooled by Josefa. He knows
Isela was more determined than ever to live her life, to move on from him AND
Josefa, and start her life with her baby. He suspects it was Josefa herself who
threw Isela off that balcony, and if he finds out that’s true, he will
personally see that she rots in jail!

Antes muerta que Lichita #65 Wednesday 12/23/15
FYI: Scenes are combined and in no particular order.
What I found out in #64:
Heads up: This is very sketchy from my notes last night because I was baking and not watching very carefully just like I might be tonight! :) What is the sudden tie in with "autism"? Is Icónika" trying to enhance its image with being/looking socially conscious?
As it started in the last couple of episodes, plenty of characters are using "antes muerta que. . ." "I would rather be dead than/better dead than . . . " An homage to the title?
LaLa milk and PayLess were the favored products in placement and embedded commercial.
Best scene: Luciana taking a selfie with her shrimp at the table at the beach resort.
Sandra is still in "menopausal fantasy land" and really believes she is going away to the USA with Augusto. She keeps trying to poison Augusto against Alicia. She is not happy when he tells Alicia she can drop the coffee company as a potential client. (He also tells her she has to replace it with a comparable account ) She tells him to keep his eye on Alicia . She cannot be trusted. Augusto can't see a problem: he controls all the agencies. She reminds him he does not control Madelén.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #85 Wed 12/23/15 (Mex 118-119) Anything can happen in the woods**
Picking up right where we left off…Does Rox know of Beni's intentions? Well, no, not exactly, but he knows she feels the same way. "How will you support her? Have you not seen her collection of credit cards? Heck, take her off my hands. You'd be doing me a huge favor. She spends a TON of money every week. Look, you go propose. If she says 'yes,' you have my blessing, and you get her out of here quickly and take her FAR away from here." Beni can't believe his luck and gratefully embraces Eloisa. She smiles and laughs with genuine good humor, even when Beni is so uncouth as to shout gleefully out in the hallway. She's genuinely pleased because she feels like she's putting one over on Beni--he has no idea what he's getting himself into.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #113 Tuesday 12/22/15: Bye-Bye Baby Or All The King’s Horses And All The King’s Men
It's late in coming but at least it is here!-edit.
•
Isela has another bout of guilty conscience. After hearing Claudio’s confession that he screwed around with Marta’s sentencing to please his buddy, the other judge, Sr. Monterubio, hide his sins. First, she visits Orlando in the his old apartment and says if only…..They share an if only hug. (Alarm bells should be going off about now for the Viewerville aficionados.)
•
Clod admits his guilt to Max who tells his papi he deserves to rot behind bars for knowingly using his influence to help the rich and powerful. Clod says he hopes he’s opened Max’s eyes a bit so that he can properly defend Maria Dolores.
•
Speaking of MD, she’s telling off her guard and Marcia, the Women’s Warden, that she knows how Marcia and Grrrrsula have colluded in trying to take her baby away from her; she’s also threatened the guard with spilling the beans to UNOWHU about the horrible way common prisoners are treated in this prison; and, woe is they if anyone dares raise a hand against her again or puts her back into solitary AND if they don’t get Nayelli out of the punishment cell and fast!!

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.
