Pasión y Poder Martes 1/26/16 #70 & 71



Chapter 70: The Great Pretender

Nina, wearing minimal makeup to make herself look wan and pathetic, told Erick her intentions.
Your father is determined to leave me and I will take his entire fortune and business holdings. Do you understand?”
I'm sorry, Mama. You can count on me for anything you want. And now there will be more money because Ashmore will be doing all his business with us and not with Gómez-Luna.”
Nina went on about how this was because she had told Ashmore about what happened with Eladio's Tabasco project. Erick corrected her by telling her that there was an outside deal in which Arturo put some shares related to the construction into a bank account for Ashmore's son-in-law. She looked suspicious, then satisfied.

El Hotel de los Secretos #1, 1/25/16 Monday: Strangers on a Train

Julio Olmedo counts the few coins in his hand and seems to pull himself together, as if he's gathering the courage to take the biggest leap of his life. He is young and hungry-looking, but there is a determined look in his eyes that tells us he's going to make this work no matter what it takes.

He buys a third-class ticket for the last train to Puebla. Nearby, a well-dressed man complains that some scruffy-looking children stole something of his. Julio promises to watch the kids and the man's bags while the man fetches the police; the man leaves his coat behind as well. Julio tells the kids to take off, and he walks off with the man's coat.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #105 1-25-16 The Perils of Fiorella!

Ciao a tutti!  Andiamo!  I’m going to combine scenes tonight.  Hope that helps with the flow.

False pregnancy confirmation.  Assvaldo leaves Fiorella’s room just before Pedro and Fiorella enter.  She shows Pedro both halves of the pregnancy test print out.  Pedro wonders aloud why Sonia and Assvaldo don’t want anyone to know.

Sonia provides the answer in a tearful soliloquy:  She tells her baby to be strong and to hold on to life.  Daddy is very egotistical and so she must remain quiet for now and maybe it’s time to leave her velvet –lined hell.  She tells the baby she has a chance to do what she really loves, to sing.  Singing before an adoring crowd and the applause is a special joy.  She decides she can’t leave now.  She doesn’t want to be poor again or condemn her baby to a life of poverty.  She rubs her stomach and concludes she may have to hang on a little longer as she slowly sinks down to the floor.

Skankia and Papi Chulo.  Katia stamps her foot and tells Augustin she DOES NOT like Gianna and she doesn’t want them together!   Augustin reminds Katia she is related to Gael.  She pouts she is not because he is NOT her father.  “Even though you don’t carry my blood, I raised you as a daughter and you cannot interfere in Gael’s life and decisions about who he wants to be with!”  We are spared further contact with this skank but there will be more skandom later.

(some scenes have been combined) 

Sorry for behaving like such a you know what

In Arturo's eyes: Even if that were the case that Daniela provokes David, he still seduced both of his daughters. He advises Regina to forget David. Regina can't forget him. Arturo doesn't want Regina and Daniela to become more distanced becasue of David. Once again,  Regina lays the blame on her little sister Daniela: if the two sisters don't get along it's because of Daniela's attitude with her.

Antes muerta que Lichita #85 Friday 1/22/16

Well, here we go!

We are starting out with returning to Alicia and Santiago at their dinner date where Santiago is promising Alicia he will do all he can to help her get over Roberto. She adds that it is a lost cause already between her and Roberto because he is already married. Santiago sees the marriage as the least of the problems because not everybody marries for love: people marry for all sorts of reasons. Alicia's cell phone suddenly rings and it is a very distraught Dafne on the other end telling Alicia that she just cannot take it anymore and also asking her to come over please. Santiago keeps looking over his shoulder to see what Roberto is doing. (He better keep looking over his shoulder.

Of course, Magos' party is out of control and she has done nothing to bring it back under control being as immature and goofy as she is. It seems like the police have arrived. Her friends think that is great because they will get everyone under control. Magos has to remind them that they all could be in hot water with no licenses for parties and their "crooked" business they are running. Pau and Gerry try to make a run for it but Magos drags them back.

Back at the restaurant, Luciana wants to talk about Santiago and Alicia. Roberto tries to get her back on track to talk about themselves. Roberto wants to talk about not being able to live forever at the mansion. Luciana wants his support for her to returning to work at Icónika. Her main reason is so that he will see she is so much more talented than Alicia and she is back to talking about how much she hates Alicia.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #104 1-22-16 Preggers? Who's Preggers?

Ciao y'all!  It's been an eventful week in Dos Rios and Rancho Los Angeles.  Here's what went down today, not necessarily in order of broadcast.

Eloisa is unshaken in her resolve to welcome Fiorella into the Angeles family and deflects insults from Assvaldo and Federica.  Pedro and Fiorella hug Eloisa, Sergio proposes a toast.  Freddie's attempts to sour the mood with constant cracks about how she's going to grab the Angeles fortune go ignored.   Eloisa declares that two people marrying who really love each other is worth celebrating and she doesn't care what anyone has to say about Fiorella and Pedro's marriage and everybody who lives in the Angeles house will respect them!  Eloisa's expansive mood includes Roxi whom she invites to move back into the Ranch.  Roxi coolly declines and Eloisa coolly accepts her refusal.

Gael goes by Papi Chulo, his dad, Augustin's apartment.   It's a trick.  Augustin isn't there, Katia is and before you can say Katiaisaskank, she unasses her robe and stands before him naked.  She doesn't care that he has a novia, she's not jealous.  Augustin arrives, Skankia darts out of the room and Gael stutters his reason for being there and gets the heck out the door.  [Hmmm, I bet Skankia had something to do with the ending of Papi Chulo's marriage, chick's morals are lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut.]

Pasión y Poder, Episode 54 (Mexican Episodes 65 & 66), Thursday, January 21, 2016: Changing Places


Part One: Eladio makes a silk purse out of a sow's ear – well, out of two ears and a snout – while Arturo manages to make himself a horse's ass.

Arturo arrives at the Foundation during story time. He waits indulgently as Julia, sporting a snout and pig ears and snorting judiciously here and there, wraps up the tale of a gluttonous little pig that is very fond of veggies.   Then he approaches her and says they need to talk.  "About us."

When Nina refuses to talk divorce terms with Agustín, he hands her a copy of the prenup and reminds her of its terms: she is entitled to absolutely nothing since she and Arturo are still a few months shy of their 25th anniversary; but if she plays along, Arturo will see to it that she continues to live like a queen.  Negotiate now or lose everything.  Ask another lawyer, if you don't believe me.

Daniela leaves Consuelo's office after getting her sister-in-law's promise to help her launch a career as a model.  On the way out, she crosses paths with Erick, who carries an enormous bouquet of roses.  His simian features look hopeful.  Alas, he will have no bananas today: Consuelo announces that their separation is a done deal and she is moving into her own apartment.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #84 1/21/16: Reasons Why Alicia Should Switch to Team Santiago

This is me making an attempt to apply logic to Univision's scheduling antics. Monday was double episode, Tuesday reverted to single episode and another double episode on Wednesday. Shall I take a guess and assume today was a single episode? Who knows I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than predicting the behaviors of the powers that be in Univision. 

Mexico Capitulo #98

Alicia sees Santiago and wonders if he was here for a while, he replies more or less. She then asks if he heard everything...he gives her the same more or less answer. Alicia believes she has some explaining to do but makes the situation worse the more she opens her mouth. She tries to explain that the only way to get the actors of Corazon Enamorado to shoot the commercial was to partake in a romantic scene with Roberto as the body doubles for the bickering costars. Alicia spends much denying and protesting but Santiago patiently waits for her to shut her boca so he can surprise her with a flower. Santiago does not need any explanations. He just wanted to surprise he with a flower before heading back to work.

Reason 1: He knows how to properly woo a girl. Jealousness is below him.

Antes muerta que Lichita #83 Wednesday 1/20/16

Looks like they are keeping up with the double episodes. This was  our third this week.BTW, I will fill in for Marta on Friday.

After the kiss, Alicia tells Santiago she is open to also having a personal relationship with him as long as they keep work and their personal lives separate. Santiago talks about himself wanting to get married and have children. It also turns out he is not a one trick pony. He has several businesses: Peoples' Café, a restaurant chain, a few boutique hotels and he a partner in a real estate firm.

At the park, Roberto tries to explain to Mateo how much he wants to be with him andhow much he loves him. Mateo quotes his mother: she told him that if a person REALLY wants to do something, they will find a way to do it. His mother left her "super heroine" job for him but Roberto refused to. Roberto accuses Sheila of lying to Mateo about him. She sees it all differently. He wants to know if she is hanging around with another criminal just like her. She takes exception with that. The guy she is with is not like him. Roberto says he has changed. He is a married man and successful. She has had enough of Roberto. He wants to spend some time with Mateo there at the park. Sheila decides it is time to go.

At the mansion, Gumaro and Luciana have done the deed and we see them all happy with themselves in her bed. Luciana tells him he can call her "tú" when they are not out in public. They hear Dafne in the mansion so Gumaro hides. Later outside at the bonsai station, Gumaro is feeling guilty so he tells Luciana he is quitting. She feels guilty, too, being "very" married. We hear her say not to rush; not to quit until he has another job. That is just what she told him yesterday. We have come full circle. They are kissing again.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #102 1-20-16 A Tearful Reunion and a Challenge to the Empire!

Ciao, miei cari amici del MIVAC Patio!  Hello, beloved friends of the MIVAC Patio!  Here's tonight's highlights, not necessarily in order of broadcast.

  • Vitto is on the verge of being evicted from his two restaurant properties.  I feel sorry for Domingo!  Vitto makes a grand statement of happily giving everything he owns for Diana to get her son back.  Anibal believes he is perfectly positioned to move in to snare Julieta and Sergio via the fake response he sent to their internet post. 
  • Gianna and Fiorella discuss Fiorella's perhaps going to Maratea to investigate their origins.  Fiorella protests she doesn't have the money to return to Italy.  Gigi reminds her she's the wife of a rich man and gets a lecture on a woman needing to have some income of her own to maintain a degree of independence.
  • The discarded Dust Mop shows up, meets with Assvaldo who rejects her offer of a "bed massage."  After she throws his affair with Alina in his face, he tells her to get lost for good.

Antes muerta que Lichita 1/19: power outage stymies recapper

Hello friends,
our power went out today due to ?? Who knows? It was out in most of Durham NC. By the time it came back on Ezra didn't have time to do his recap before he had to go to class.

Here are some bullet points.
  • Alicia tells her mom she wants to move out and live on her own.

  • Gumaro and Luciana kiss a lot. Bea almost catches them in the bonsai pergola and in their hasty exit they knock over a lot of the little trees, which Luciana later blames on Dafne. She tells Bea she needs an exorcist for Dafne and Bea is seriously considering it.

    Due to all the kissing Gumaro says he'll quit (because he's feeling a small amount of guilt) but Roberto says, no, stay and spy some more, so there's more kissing in the corners.

  • Roberto keeps calling the number Mateo called from. Sheila has a partner in crime and they have cooked up something but we don't know what it is. She finally tells Roberto he can meet with Mateo at a playground but he better not try anything because the law is on her side. Sheila tells Mateo: "Your dad was lying when he said he loved you and had a room ready for you. He told me you're a bother and he wants to be rid of you." This was by far the low point of the episode. Roberto goes to a playground for the meet but our indoor antenna failed toward the end of the episode and I don't know if he saw Mateo yet.

  • Our idiot Nacho struts around trying to figure out what to do with his insurance money windfall. He boasts he will be a famous entrepreneur.

  • Santi comes to Ikonika to seal the deal, reminds all that he wants only Alicia to head his campaign. Roberto capers jealously in the hallway as Santi and Alicia have a quiet moment together after the meeting. He wants her to lighten up a little but will respect her business-only stance. Alicia can't help bringing up the photo of Santi with the hotel heiress. He says: "She's cold and boring and plays with her nose hairs. That picture is from two years ago and our romance only lasted a month." Alicia is embarrassed but Santi is pleased that she cares.

  • Augusto tells Alicia: "When Robert becomes president of API you can be director General of Ikonika." She says she doesn't have enough experience, he tells her to stop being so self-effacing.

  • Beto warns Gumaro: "Drako is on the way." In the TyM garage Gumaro beeps the horn at the perfect moment and Drako drops the papers. Gumaro picks them up, scans them, and pockets one, having to do with some company ... might be funny business to take to the Naugahyde policeman.

  • Brisa finds Alicia's damning old "testimonial" (HOW I HATE IKONIKA) from long ago on her hard drive. Braulio says, delete it. Instead, Brisa loses it.

  • At lunch Alicia and Santi tell each other their favorite desserts. When he says his Granny's rice pudding is his favorite, Alicia gives him a big long kiss.

Muchacha Italiana 1/19/16 #101 These Kids Are So Darn Cute When They’re Happy.

Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!!!  YAAAAY!!!  Mille grazie!!!!

Os & Sonia
Os wants to know if she’s going to be mad at him forever, he doesn’t want to lose her but if she doesn’t accept his apology they’re not going to be able to go on, and Sonia leaves to puke (I feel kinda pukey too – is it him?)


Party People
Everyone is yelling for the bride and groom to kiss, but Elo puts a damper on things, yelling, ‘This is a joke, right?’  Pietro says he has never been so serious about anything. Elo thinks they’ve been carrying on all along (and they have really) but Pietro and Fiorella tell her they repressed their love until the day of the unweddings when Pietro went looking for Fi and they got together and decided to get together.

Chapter 61: A Game of Thrones

Now that I have some new expert assistance I can be sure of at least one reliable source. Some of this comes from reports from my fellow writer, Dashiell. He understands hypocrisy – and crime – among all sorts from drawing rooms to low-income housing. He's helping to fill in the gaps. Fortunately we wear the same size so I can help him infiltrate the circles I'm usually in when that becomes necessary.

Antes muerta que Lichita 1/18: Bea drops a bomb. Draco tells a joke. Mateo makes a call. Nacho is an ass. Valeria goes to work. Brisa learns to tweet. Alicia gets a kiss and doesn't go to Los Angeles.

What a jam-packed episode! It was so long I've used up all the time I have and refuse to proofread this. Also, I was handicapped by my profound lack of interest in the organizational hierarchy of Ikonika. There are layers of bosses but I just can't bring myself to care.

Augusto to Beto: "Somebody has offered to invest a lot in Ikonika USA, I should take advantage of it and move quickly." "I can't be Pres of API and also Director General and Elias is uninterested and has disappeared." "Ask anybody, have Nestor help."

Mateo calls Roberto, who bolts from Augusto's office but not before Augusto hears the name. Mateo is being held captive by his mother, who angrily reminds him: she only agreed to let him hear his father's voice. They are living in the house of "your new dad who decides what does and doesn't happen" so no seeing Roberto.
