Pasión y Poder #39, Wednesday, December 30, 2015
Art promises to put family first. He wants the REAL things to work in his life, which confuses Nina and me. She (and me) want to know what the hell he's talking about when he says that he wants everything that is REAL to work, but now all of a sudden Art is dumbfounded as well.
Julia wakes Eladio, but then has a change of heart and doesn't want to talk to him. She goes back to sleep.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #117, Wednesday 12/30/15: Babies and Betrayals
The Old: Marcia tells Monterubio that he has to help her fend off the Santibañez, Max, MD, and Claudio. If she falls, they BOTH fall. Claudio tells Orlando that he thinks Josefa was behind Isela’s fall and he’s launched an investigation. Dan tells Ursula and Ivana that he’s NOT giving up his baby, not for all the money in the world.
The New:
Dan says that his daughter is all he has and he’s not giving her up. Ursula and Ivana are livid. Ursula reveals she already knew what he has been saying in rehab about having both his daughter and MD, and that he was going to betray her. She’s caught off guard when Dan reveals what HE’s learned from Arango. Ursula and Arango faked a will with a false signature after Hector died, leaving everything to Ursula’s administration. In reality, Hector’s real will left everything to Dan and Maleny (and nada for Ursula). Now that Maleny’s dead, all the money goes to Dan and Almita. Ha! As of now, Dan’s in charge, and he’s changing the admin on all the accounts from Ursula to himself. Ursula tries to guilt trip Arango for betraying her (again), but he already heard from Dan that she was planning on kicking him to the curb soon. He just got the jump on betraying her first. Now, Arango works for Dan.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #89 Wed 12/30/15 (Mex 123) Don't Cry for Me, Fiorella…no, really, please don't
For some reason, after the initial panic has passed, Os and Fed are back to the usual languid sniping, which Sergio finds highly offensive. Dante announces the arrival of the ambulance and Sergio goes running, shouting for Os to come with him. Juli runs upstairs to inform Eloisa and Fed just sits on the couch probably pondering Os' potential involvement. As she said--he's the one who stands to benefit if something happens to Pedro.

Antes muerta que Lichita #69 Wednesday 12/30/15. "Strangers in the Night ( continued ) Sha la la la la . . ."
Is it too early to start thinking about an anvil for Augusto????? I think not.
Whoopsie! I mistakenly called Rafael Gabriel for much of the recap: he still is Valeria's husband and Luciana's "dad" who was aggravated to and left for dead by Augusto. : )
Now back to the story . . .
The lights are still out. Augusto comes looking for Alicia and just as he sneaks up on her in the dark, the lights go on and it is presentation time. Everyone is happy happy with the OkiOki presentation . Alicia tells us her transformation from Lichita to Alicia is complete but as of today it is the beginning of the end of a love that could never be or will be. Luciana is clearly not enjoying the presentation.
Back at the mansion they all arrive home from the OkiOki presentation. As Beatriz, Augusto, Dafne, Roberto amd Luciana all come in, Valeria wonders why Gabriel did not come. Valeria called him during the evening and he never answered. Luciana tells her to cut the drama. Valeria calls Gabriel then and there and they hear the phone ring. She says it must be in their room where Gabriel must be sleeping like a log. Augusto gets an uncomfortable look on his face. Suddenly they all decide to retire for the night. Dafne decides to eat supper by herself. Valeria arrives in Augusto's and Beatriz's room crazed with worry over the missing Gabriel. He was not in their room.Augusto says no big deal he probably went out on the town and forgot his phone. Dafne arrives to see if they found Rafael and if they looked for him everywhere in the house. Dafne takes it upon herself to look around the mansion and finds Gabriel dead on the floor where Augusto left him. She becomes hysterical amd starts to scream. They all come in. Valeria tries to talk to Rafael. Luciana is in shock and says he must be asleep, right?

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #116 Tuesday 12/29/15: Patrnity Bites, Maternity Without Rights, and Baby's In The Middle
• We go to Alma’s funeral. She left a letter to her family of last thoughts. Max is to take care of headstrong Leo. Leo is to stick with Clara who really cares for him. Claudio is left without Alma’s pardon, and a request to right the wrongs he’s done.
• The paternity results are in and Daniel’s DNA is the darned baby-daddy. He rubs Max’s nose in it as much as possible. (What else would we expect?) Despite Max’s best arguments that DannyBoy is a drug addict and the family is suicide prone, the judge gives temporary custody to Grrrrsula and Family.
• Corina introduces herself to Nayelli’s kids and tries to take them with her, but Aldo stops her. She lies about knowing Nayelli and why she was with the kids.

Antes muerta que Lichita #67 Monday 12/28/15. "Conveniently Roberto Does not Have to Tell the Truth Again and Again . . ."
Don Augusto has just told Alicia to fire Brisas and he brings up the "one rotten apple" comparison. For him it is just part of the job to make heads roll when employees fall short and not overthink it. Alicia refuses to just fire Brisas without finding out exactly what happened since Brisas has always been such a good worker. Augusto reminds her about the two lost accounts. Sandra sticks up for her.
Roberto is still talking to Venus and getting overly dramatic about Mateo maybe being taken from the country even maybe, etc. Venus tells him to cut it: His son is being very well cared for: the orphanage would never put his son in a bad situation. Fear and pain are bad advisors. She tells him to find the best way to find out what happened to his son but to do it within legal means and not to tell more lies since that is what got him in the mess he finds himself now. Roberto says his situation is just not that easy. (Wah!) Venus tells him the same thing Gumaro has told him: the day he starts telling the truth things will begin to change for him.
In Alicia's office she is telling Braulio and Brisas how it is: they are not beginners and she expects more RESPONSIBILITY (as the professionals they are) shown by them. Brisas offers to quit since she was the one who messed up. Alicia says nobody is quitting. She will talk to the "Mis favoritos" snack people about a "redesign" they will be doing to try to get the account back.
Elías thinks he is shocking Sandra by telling her Icónika USA is already set up. Sorry, she says, no surprise there. She does not look happy when he leaves, though. Hmmmm . . .

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #115 Monday 12/28/15 A Death in the Family
This is a super sad episode and the recap is very long because of all the detail.
A little refresher from way back last Wednesday, Orlando and Claudio are in the ICU with Isela who is on life support, arguing about who will take care of the baby. Orlando claims that Isela’s last wish was to have Orlando take care of her, but Claudio wants to step up and claim the baby as his own, even giving her his last name. Poor Doris, hanging back by the doorway, hears this exchange and is heartbroken at learning Orlando’s intentions and feelings. Just then, Isela takes a huge breath and her eyes jolt open. Orlando reacts, and runs to get the doctor while Claudio stands there stunned. (I know who I want around me in an emergency, and it’s not the Clod).
Orlando finds a doctor, sees Doris, hugs her saying that Isela is awake, and goes back in.
Back at the poor person's hospital, The Padre comes out with the nurse after baptizing the baby, the nurse tells Esperanza and Max that she will send them the video of it. Why couldn’t they be there in person?
Just then, Max gets a call that Alma is brought to the rich person's hospital. He runs off to see about her.

Pasión y Poder #37 Monday 12/29/15 What Good Wine Goes with a Hot Francofurter?
In this episode, Eladio has harassed or has pissed off most of the people in the telenovela. So, I thought this was an appropriate song for your listening pleasure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afxvVWj0aWU
Eladio releases the canaries, but captures Julia by her reed, thin neck. He's pissed that she left the hospital without alerting him. He tells Julia, that she's useless and uneducated. He's knows that she's seen Art. After Eladio leaves, Julia tells herself that she will stop being useless and will learn to take care of herself. She will then leave him.
Eladio keeps the party hoppin' and moves it into the house by terrorizing Gaby as Franco, her spineless boyfriend, looks on and does absolutely nada! Finally, we learn lots of prepositions, but not the good sex ones that we can use, Susanlynn. Gabby is visciously tossed on top of the table, bounced off of the wall, down on the couch and choked between the door way. Once Eladio is gone, Gaby asks Franco why he didn't take her side. He said that she was in the wrong, she should have called Eladio.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #87 Monday 12-18-15 (Mex 121) Set ups and Teases
Pedro goes to meet Fiorella at the summit of a hill in the garden. She excitedly shares the pictures we saw her looking at earlier in her bedroom. The little girl, about eight or so, is her; a couple of pictures of her Mother and a picture of her Mother and Father in their youth. She is excited and touched, she feels close to them just looking at the pictures. Once all this exposing and prosecuting of Benigno is over and everybody knows of their love, Pedro wants Fiorella to show him all the places where she grew up. Lots of smiles and kisses.
Sergio pleads with Eloisa not to be so hard on Roxi. Assvaldo and Sonia think Eloisa is right. Eloisa asks for her medicine. Freddie goes to the dining room where Dante is dripping the drops into a glass of water. He gets a phone call and has to leave, asking Freddie to take her the drops. Freddie, of course, puts demon drops of doom into the glass and takes it to Eloisa.
Assvaldo is on the phone talking to Benigno about the horse Pedro is getting and how this will fit into their plan to murder him.
Freddie takes the glass to Eloisa and is about to drink when she interrupts herself to fuss some more about Roxi. Freddie prompts her to go ahead and take her medicine and Eloisa launches into a high-pitched chant about how the glass contains a special tea that Maximo bought for her and doesn't Freddie want to try it? There is a little struggle as Freddie says no and Eloisa even tries to make her drink it and the glass spills. Sergio and Julieta look on, horrified.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #86 Friday, 12-25-15 (Mex 120) Pedro in the Cross Hairs and Vitto Lays a Goose Egg
We catch up with Benito in the darkened kitchen of the employee's quarters, sitting on the floor killing a bottle of tequila. Gianna finds him and sits down next to him. Benito thinks he's an idiot, Gianna thinks Roxi really loves him but was overwhelmed with everyone watching. Benni wonders whats eating her. Gianna whines that Gael got high right in her face! Benni concludes they have both made terrible choices in love and offers her his back-wash filled bottle of tequila.
In the Big House at El Rancho the party is going full blast! Gael wants to find Roxi but she convinces him to forget the little Italian gata. Roxi and Gael jump up and down which passes for dancing when you're high on being Roxi and street drugs, respectively. Granny and Eloisa enter the madness and Granny calls out "What is all of this?" Roxi answers, "A Party!" Eloisa is about to call a halt to the shenanigans but sees Freddie and Dante walk in and ask the same question. This time, Eloisa answers "It's a PAR-TAY!! EVERYBODY SHAKE YOUR BOOTIES!" And she begins to break it down with the best of them. Freddie and Dante exchange glances while Fiorella tries to get Eloisa to leave.
