Lichita 1/5
Alicia busts one of the heels on her ridiculous shoes on her way into the Ikonica US office and limps around the place with two employees. They apologize that the place is such a mess, and they're waiting for the new boss to come and arrange everything. She also discovers that those two are currently the only employees. They don't let her get a word in edgewise, even as they go on and on about the executive who will surely arrive soon. They eventually find a magazine that has a picture of Alicia on the cover, and Alicia really enjoys their moment of shock and surprise when they realize that she's the new boss. For, like, half a second, she breaks that glazed and impassive generic-novela-bimbo affect that's shrouded her since they dressed her up, and looks genuinely fun and playful for a bit.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres Lunes, 1/04/16 #119
I've
been up and down mean streets long enough I thought I'd seen
everything. I was wrong. Tonight I witnessed something so
disgusting it would make Sam Spade cry. Danny-Boy and his Mama Bear
need to burn in hell. I'd send them there myself if there were no
risk of being caught. Hell can't be that much worse than the prisons
here.
I'm
off for a good stiff drink. Maybe that will help.
– Dashiell
Chapter
119: Consequences
Honoria
was called to testify for the prosecution, but refused.
“Because
I will not testify to help anyone who is trying to sully my son's
reputation. He never was Maria Dolores' lover. He was good and
honest, values I taught him. Since he died my grief made me forget
those values.” She looked at Hosefa briefly and cried as she
finished. Max may have felt some relief and Esperanza, too, but it
wouldn't have been much. Hosefa looked nervous.

Chapter
42: Dead Woman Walking
Ah, what
amusement: A masked ball! I've always loved those things. They're
showy, easy to crash in most places, and full of pretentious fools
whose primary need is to draw attention to themselves. Their choice
of costume or mask often tells us more about them than it hides.
Here is where the powerless can appear powerful, the weak can appear
strong, or the evil can appear to be good and moral.
Or
wishes can be expressed. And granted. Be careful what you wish for.
– D.D.
Erick
Montenegro was showing his worst hubris at this party. He arrived in
the black boots, clothes, cape, and hat of El Zorro, the Robin Hood
of Mexico. His real persona would never think of helping the poor;
if he robbed from the evil he would keep any spoils in his own
coffers. Nor did he look at women as fair ladies with honor,
integrity, or intelligence. He bought favors from Monserrat Moret
and felt daring in doing so. He lacked the power of observation to
realize that his money – or more likely his father's money – was
of more interest to her than he was.
Also the
power of more physical observation because he failed to notice that
Callao, the trusted henchman of Eladio Gómez Luna, was standing at
the curb just beyond the building's entrance.

Antes muerta que Lichita January 4: Lichita is going to Los Angeles.
Happy New Year, friends. First, I'd like to say I'm not happy with Alicia descending into the "generic bimbo" category. She looks like the receptionists now, only in red...
... and having just now learned of the existence of Spanx I can no longer look at these bimbos in their skin-tight dresses without imagining the industrial strength spandex (sometimes in multiple layers) that obliterates any humanity of form.
Pobrecitas, I wonder if they have to cut themselves out of those undergarments with scissors when they get home. Anyway...
...the subtitles were functioning very poorly so feel free to elaborate if you got more than I did.
Master murderer and hypocrite Don Augusto consoles his daughter Luciana over the death of her purported father and says the best thing she can do is get knocked up and forget about it.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #91 Monday 1-4-15 (Mex 126-127) After The Dog and Pony Show Fail, It's off to the Paris Hilton! Yikes!
Ciao, i miei amici! Andiamo!
Dante takes Eloisa her drops to the dining room. She invites him to sit down and tells him somebody is trying to kill her. She plays coy and at first and says he is the one trying to kill her with his incompetence as her Chief of Security and he needs to be more vigilant of her person and property. He presses her about who she suspects and Eloisa finally says Freddie and he should keep an eye on her.
Roxi is off to school and seems to be getting a final inspection by Adela and Rey. The two disagree as to whether Roxi's skirt is too short. As per usual, they get into a yelling match. Roxi noisily dismisses them and leaves just as Vitto is arriving. In a funny little crack at Vitto, Roxi tells him to stop looking at her: if Fiorella couldn't even stand him, she certainly can't. She flounces away with her nose in the air, probably holding her breath, too.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #118 The Trial Begins
We’re back at the prison yard, where Max is looking mighty fine in his suit and tie, (when doesn’t he look mighty fine though). And after an uncomfortably long kiss while everyone shuffles their feet waiting for it to end, he introduces them to a judge he brought along and asks MD if she will marry him right there, right now.
She hesitates for only a minute because she’s worried that if she gets a guilty sentence that she will not want Max tied down to being with someone in prison, but he tells her that he will always love her and he wants to have custodial power for Almita. Swoon!!! What a galan. So she says yes and they get hitched.
After the congratulations from Esperanza and Nayeli, Max hands her an envelop that he says she will need for the hearing that they are going to now.

Pasión y Poder Episode #40 Friday, Janurary 1st 2016 The Montenegro family and the Gomez Luna family sit down for dinner.. and that's how they became The Brady Brunch.
Welcome 2016. Happy New Year Everyone!
Back in 2015 (our time) we left off with David about to arrange a meeting with his family and his girlfriend's family. Ah, there's nothing like the in-laws getting together and sitting down for dinner. I can just picture the Montenegro's and the Gomez Luna's sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner. Artie and Eladio would fight over who gets to carve the turkey. Julia and Nina would bicker about petty little things like who has the better dress and whose husband has more money in his wallet. Daniela would try to seduce her brother-in-law, David. Regina would slap her silly for flirting with her man. Creepy Miguel would make googly eyes at Consuelo. While Franco and Erick would get stinking drunk and be the uncles that always get drunk and make a fool out of themselves at family reunions. Hummy would wheel himself around and whine 24/7 about everything (especially about Daniela, Gaby, and Regina's wardrobe). While poor Petra and Simona would be forced to serve these people. Yep, Thanksgiving is sure to be loads of fun. But I digress.
Anyway, our first new scene of the night, is over at Grupo Montenegro. Regina has just been offered a great job at the family business. She accepts. But wait a minute... she wants to talk it over with David first. No, no, no. She's not the kind of woman that needs to ask her boyfriend for permission to work. It's just that since his dad and her dad are rivals.. then the whole thing could be.. umm... delicate. Besides, Regina really wants there to be communication in her relationship. And not just the kind of communication that happens under the sheets and when in heat like her *cough* parents have *cough*. Artie thinks it's good that Regina and David are a communicative couple. Regina gets a call from bae and is told that his mom, who happens to be Artie's ex, wants to talk to Artie. Regina tells her dad that Julia, his ex, wants to talk to him. Arte is left frozen. It's like he has passed gas and is trying to deny it. His inability to move a single muscle in his whole body makes Regina think that his dad doesn't want to talk to his ex. Artie takes the call. Julia tells Artie that she approves of their children's relationship. They agree to get together later on that night for dinner so Julia can let Regina know that she has nothing against her and that she still has the hots for her dad. Regina and David will choose the place where the meeting will take place. Regina thanks her dad for this gesture. David does the same by thanking his mom. He lets his mom know just how much he loves Regina. In other words.. yada, yada, yada. He tells her how Regina confronted the bad big wolf, a.k.a his dad. He lets her know how Regina used to be so afraid of facing the obstacles that would get in the way of their love and that he had to convince her so that she would face them. Julia tells David that she would love to be fearless like Regina. David tells her that everyone has fears and that what matters is that you overcome them. He leaves to let the chauffeur know to have the car ready. Now alone, Julia and Gaby realize that they are stepping in big doo-doo and that they have gotten Artie to step in it as well.

Felice Anno Nuovo! Pace e Prosperità a Tutti! Happy New Year! Peace and Prosperity to All! Andiamo! Let's go!
Fiorella is with an increasingly frantic Pedro who instinctively wipes his eyes but the darkness doesn't dissipate. Fiorella tries to explain to Pedro what Dr. Elizalde said but he's not listening. He freaks and then shrieks for Fiorella not to leave him. Fiorella bolts out the door to ask Sergio to get Dr. Elizalde. Aitana demands to know what she is doing there. Sergio and Fiorella ignore her as Fiorella gives Sergio the sad news.
Giana and Gael are at the University as Gigi continues to wonder what her sister is trying to hide from her. Gael thinks she should directly ask Fiorella what is going on. Gianna decides it's a better idea to call Fiorella's friend, Nicoleta.
In the study at the Ranch, Assvaldo and Benigno are on death watch, having sent the Hairy Witch to find out if Pedro has kicked the bucket. Benigno thinks death is imminent and congratulations are in order. He hugs the Ass and Eloisa almost busts them talking about Pedro's demise. Assvaldo has to put on his game grief face. He hopes it's not going to be a tragedy. Eloisa maintains it will not! Assvaldo floats his "we have to think about the company" line, you know, if Pedro remains seriously injured, or dies. Eloisa looks him unwaveringly in the eye: Pedro is strong and will recover! Sergio comes in on his phone an beckons for Eloisa to follow him out of the study. After Sergio and Eloisa leave, Assvaldo and Benigno exchange worried glances. "Could he have died?" asks Benigno. Assvaldo says, "I hope so!" Ass notes that Benigno, wearing a black suit, has come dressed for the occasion. They chuckle and leave the study.

Antes muerta que Lichita..#70 Augustus begins his deception with Alicia, Luciana finally reacts to her dad's death... Elsewhere Roberto is willing to hand Augustus on a platter to some cop in exchange to find Mateo
The Vidals are exiting a building. Roberto calls for Mateo
and it turns out to be Mateo’s friend Tomas who they had adopted.
Roberto explains to them that Mateo is gone… The Vidals don’t
know anything. Marta explains she
understood she was wrong to keep obsessed with Mateo when Tomas and others were
available. Tomas doesn’t know anything
either other than one day they took him out to the Direction office. He found it strange Mateo would have left
without saying goodbye. Roberto wishes
Tomas well. Ms Venus does as well. Mr
Vidal wishes to Roberto that he will find Mateo soon. Roberto thanks him.
Lichita at office… Fatima explains that she started from the
bottom at the office… Brisa is nagging about men earning more than women. Nestor says ‘we men earn more because we
spend more! Ubiquense! ‘ The women rant
at him.
Lichita rants at Augustus… he seems to find it amusing
rather than irritating. But he justifies
about the men earning more than women… says women eventually marry and get
supported by a man… He assures her she
will eventually follow that pattern. Alicia is not buying what he is
selling. Alicia says ‘you won’t tell me
now that it is the first time a female employee complaints.’ Augustus says not even Sandra has …
Roberto is preaching to the choir, arguing with Ms Venus
about where Mateo could be… Venus says
if you want to find out who adopted your son, we will try to find out.
Valeria talks to Bea… Valeria seems to be the only one
genuinely upset about Rafael’s passing.
Bea says what about Luciana… Valeria is indeed worried that Luciana did
not shed a single tear yet for her dad’s passing. Bea assures her they will together care for
Luciana… Said Luciana is heading to the office as any other day…
At a meeting at the office, Alicia and Sandra are arguing
about the female salaries to Augustus… seems Alicia got all the women to meet
with Augustus to present their case. Even Fatima speaks for Alicia’s
argument. Shushette makes a comment that
could be interpreted a different way given her reputation (los hombres me
doblan… = men make me bend over).
Augustus says he will see what he can do… the women celebrate… (I would say that promise to ‘see what he can
do’ is as good as words in the wind…)
Valeria and Bea talk to Luciana… Luciana argues she is just
not as dramatic/expressive as them. Luciana
leaves, Bea tells Valeria that Luciana looks like Augustus, very insensitive to
emotional things.

Pillow Talk
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
Happy New Year, Patio Peeps!
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
The dog and the dog guy go running off. So at least someone made it out of this unscathed. There's no sign of the horse as Fiorella is begging Pedro to please wake up. Sonia runs up and then calls the house begging them to call an ambulance.
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 . . ."
Before anything else, I want to wish you all a healthy and happy 2016!
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?
