Hello Patio Peeps. It will be short and sweet tonight. I have an early appointment in the morning.

El Hotel de los Secretos #8, 2/3/16 Wednesday: Teresa Schools Felipe in Tough Love

Garrido is just about to plunge his blade into Julio’s neck, when suddenly Julio hears Pascual being hailed in the hallway and turns back to go after him. Garrido escapes unseen, while Julio shoves Pascaul into his room, and threatens him with his own blade, if Pascual doesn’t immediately spill what he knows about Cristina Olmedo and the cufflink. He was her boyfriend, right?! Pascual puts up a struggle, and Julio then accuses him of being the one who blackmailed Diego. Don Benjamin barges in, wanting to know what’s going on with all the ruckus. With Julio’s knife to his back, Pascual goes along with the ruse that they were just being friendly. Ben doesn’t care. He wants Julio back to work polishing shoes, so that they’ll be ready bright and early tomorrow morning! Julio obeys, and leaves a very stirred and shaken Pascual.

Early the next morning, Julio delivers the shined shoes of the guests to their doors, while Pascual, still in his skivvies in his room, jumps at every sound, worried Julio is back to finish him off. He makes a decision, and packs one small case…with the money he blackmailed out of Diego.

Antes muerta que Lichita #93 Wednesday 2/3/16

DOUBLE EPISODE ALERT!

Do not be surprised if the recap is just as choppy as the episode. I never saw more commercials or "chops" in one hour!

Anyway, we begin with the proposal . . . Will Alicia accept????

It takes a few seconds but Alicia says Yes!!! (deep down she is not so sure). There are applause all around but not everyone is happy. Roberto is on the ground spitting out a mouth full of grass.  Elsa, Roberto and Nacho are all in bad moods over the engagement. Roberto gets drunk and knows what he has to do. He ends up taking his frustration out on Santiago with his fists when he sees Santiago kisses his fiancée Alicia. Finally, Roberto is escorted out of the party. The party is not what it was supposed to be and is over before it starts. Valeria and Alicia end up talking with Valeria listing the stresses Roberto is under including the situation with his son. Is he the son  for real?--asks Alicia.  Does he live with Luciana and Roberto? Where is he? Valeria tries to change the topic saying she has to call a taxi. Alicia will give her a lift. At Valeria's, Valeria offers to make a couple of matés to drink. Alicia looks around and finds a room all set up for a little boy complete with Mateo's picture.  She remembers Mateo from the orphanage. Why was he in an orphanage anyway?

After the party, Roberto ends up at the Gutiérrez house where Nacho makes him agree to forget about Alicia and Roberto offers his help with the con man. Elsa wants to know what con man. Nacho shushes Roberto and starts crying when Elsa twists his ear. Roberto then is back at the mansion singing out his woes with Gumaro accompanying him on the guitar.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #112 2-3-16 "If I had a Hammer. . . . ."

Ciao, Peeps!  Here's your summary for tonight!

Please see Sneaky's recap and discussion of yesterday's action here!

Santino offers to sign up to be a heart donor for Gianna.  Dante's sudden demise is proof of the fleeting nature of life.  Fiorella thanks Santino with a big hug!

The autopsy report states Dante died of a heart attack.  It's not universally believed (Osvaldo) but is eventually accepted.

Fidel reports to Pedro on the State of El Rancho.  Cameras are poorly placed leaving "blind spots" in the closed circuit surveillance and many are old and need repair or replacing.  The whole system will be down for maintenance.

Freddie denies to Eloisa that she and Dante had a thang goin' on.  Freddie blames Eloisa and Maximo for making her so embittered and soured on life, she never married.  Freddie calls Aitana.  They meet and agree they are a couple of bitches.  Aitana signs on to take out Pedro and Fiorella seeing as how the cameras are out and she can get away undetected.

Lichita 2/2: A wedding and a barfing

I want to start out by reiterating how bored I've gotten with our Alicia. Since they made her "hot," she's become incredibly bland. Her facial expressions have become so much more stiff and grumpy-looking and she's lost any vestige of playfulness! Her "transformation" has sucked a lot out of this show, sadly. Let's hope she gets it back!

Beto has a flashback to the vile Vladimir boasting about assaulting an innocent 15-year-old girl. He snaps and beats the crap out of him and gets in trouble for it. The jail people believe Vladimir's story of the events. The warden's line: "what, it's not my job to find anything out."

Afterwards, Vladimir goes back to threats. "You may be the famous panther in here, but out there I can do what I want, and I'll seek out whatever family you've got and make trouble for them." Threats are made.

El Hotel de los Secretos #7, 2/2/16 Tuesday: In Search of Sofia's Truth

Lo de Antes:

As stalwart Mama Angela and the rest of the Downstairs staff look on, Ayala tells Julio to can it and Mama to back off while Justice, which must be served, takes precedence. La Ama de LLaves [head housekeeper] Angela has just raced into the staff dining room and demanded her son, Andres, be let loose!  El Dective Ayala brusquely elucidates that the gold dinner knife that was used to kill the recently deceased town trollop was found among her son’s personal belongings.  (Viewerville sucks in another deep breath.  Not the naively noble de Andres!!!)  Thus El Inocente de Andres is dragged away to the catacombs which, in this bantam berg, serve as the city calaboose.

Lo Del Nuevo:

Housemaid Natalia races to the ladies’ dormitory and yells for Belen.  She tells Belen what’s up and Belen races out in her dressing gown to view the proceedings for herself.  She runs to the carriage just as it is about to carry away the only man she knows with a heart as big as the Grand Hotel itself and gives him a sweet kiss good-bye.  She looks over at Angela with disgust.  “—You have a heart of stone!”  “—And yours is a collection box!”  Angela fights back her tears as Belen and the others head back inside the hotel to begin the daily grind once more.

Pasión y Poder Martes 2/2/16 #79


Chapter 79: Family History Has Reruns

Caterers are so easily bribed here and it doesn't take much. It was the only way to get past security and into the Gómez-Luna mansion. I love how small cameras are these days. This will make a great exposé if I can manage it correctly. I don't want to be persona non grata here until I'm prepared to get plastic surgery and legally change my name. In the meantime I was able to sneak in in a caterer's uniform and get some photos not available to the official photographer. Please don't share these online or there can't be any more. I had a mole in the household for after I needed to leave, so alas, no photos of those juicy items.

Antes muerta que Lichita February 1: Alicia starts to turn into Sandra. Dafne is highly sought after. Gumaro has butterflies in his stomach.

We enter in the awkward glam party where the famous video (the one Lichita went into the pool after) (the one with the non-glam pre-makeover Lichita tearfully excoriating Ikonika) is playing to a dumbstruck audience. Well, sufficed to say present day smooth talking Alicia talks her way out of it on stage and gets a big hand from everyone. Augusto and Bea are impressed.

Dafne catches Gumaro poking around in Augusto's study and is unimpressed with his explanations which are as lame as you'd expect. Seems she doesn't like him much now that she knows he's fooling around with her half-sister Luciana. She says she'll save this tidbit of wrongdoing to rat him out with at the right moment.

Pasion y Poder #78 20160201 Francofurter, You Have A Little Weenie (Read the Article for Clarification)

Hospital

Nina breaks away from the nurse and runs back into Erick's room where he is in cardiac arrest.  She begs him to breathe and screams for the doctor. 

Out in the waiting room, Art and Augie argue with the police.  Art suggests that Eladio could have tossed the Ratt over the railing.  He's strong enough.  The police say that a witness saw Erick walk back into the building.  Also, Erick had the necklace that he gave to Monseratt.  The witness stated that Monseratt had that necklace when he last saw her.  They have a solid case against him.  Erick is under arrest and will be taken to the big house as soon as he gets better. 

When Clara and Connie walk in, they are told that Erick is in a coma.

El Hotel de los Secretos #6, 2/1/16 Monday: All that glitters is trouble

Isabel runs through the woods in her white dress and white shoes, which is what all the fashionable sleuths wear to chase bagmen through the woods. She slips and falls, and the bagman runs away. Julio arrives and momentarily seems to weigh chasing the bagman vs. helping Isabel, but Isabel wins. "I don't think we can be friends," it sounds like he murmurs to her unconscious face. She comes around a moment later, and they update one another as to why she didn't wait for him.

Isabel says the blackmailer was wearing a cloak from the hotel. Julio says the piano man wasn't even around the night of the "light party," so Diego is lying. Testily, Isa says Diego might be lying, but that doesn't mean he's a criminal.

Meanwhile, in the low-tech crime lab, Ayala tells Dagoberto that Cristina's uniform appears to have been soaked in water. (That reminds me - how come no one ever smells the ashes from the stove that Diego tried to burn it in?) If it was soaked in hot water, that means they tried to wash it. Soaking in cold water could mean someone fell into a pond.

Ayala breaks it down further for Dogbert: There's no halo like you'd see if the blood had already set in. That means the blood was fresh and the cold water washed away most of it.

Ayala has Dogbert dim the lights. Blood is easier to see by candlelight, Ayala explains. The stain is fairly round, which means the wound dripped slowly and didn't spray like you'd get from an arterial wound. This blood isn't from a stab wound. So we've got two kinds of weapons, which maybe means two different murderers. Ayala may be around for a while.

Genaro, the guy from the cantina, tells Ayala and Dogbert, "I can tell you who she was with the night she died."

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #110 2-1-16 Skankia 0 - Gianna 100!

Ciao miei cari amici!  Let's get to it!  Andiamo!

Julieta's conversation with Sergio is a total fake out!  Fiorella didn't react when she told him the adoptive father's name was Bianchi because neither she nor Pedro heard what Julieta said!  Fiorella concluded that Sergio and Julieta made up.   They didn't.  Julieta felt she owed telling him this latest news but after today she doesn't want to see him ever again!  Maybe she'll forgive him one day, but for now, she's outta there!  Pedro and Fiorella look after her, confused, and Sergio confirms that he's been dumped.

Alina's consultation with Eloisa about Pilar's insistence that Dante killed Gabriel.  Eloisa rejects it out of hand and blames it on Pilar's brain damage from being imprisoned and force fed psychotropic drugs for twenty two years.  There is NO WAY Dante killed Gabriel and tells a disappointed Alina she must not tell anyone, especially Federica!  Well, too late, she knows. . .she knows that Gabriel was killed, not that Dante killed him.  Eloisa warns Alina not to tell Freddie because she is not only vengeful, but she's mad!  Alina promises to be discreet and leaves looking a little befuddled.

El Hotel de los Secretos #5, 1/29/16 Friday: No Wonder They Set This Hotel In the Old MEPS Manicomio (Loony Bin)!

At a glance

-- Julio loses the brothel fistfight and Andrés’s life savings in one fell swoop.
-- Isabel tells Julio that she found an anonymous note in Diego’s office demanding money to keep quiet about what happened to Cristina.
-- Isabel and Julio almost kiss but are interrupted by Diego’s voice.
 
-- Isabel confronts Diego about the blackmailing note. He denies the note was addressed to him and pins it all on Maestro Alcalá.
-- Belén and Andrés announce to their colleagues that they are novios, to the displeasure of Doña Ángela. Andrés later proposes to Belén and she accepts.
-- Alfredo announces that his mother will be visiting the Gran Hotel soon. Having a child is the condition that stopped him from receiving his inheritance. Sofía is squirming at the prospect of making the (inexistent) baby announcement to her suegra quite so soon. 
-- Detective Ayala arrives in town and upon performing an autopsy on the dead prostitute, he finds the tip of a gold knife stuck to the bone, inside her stab wound.
-- Diego finds out that money was stolen from his office. He also receives an anonymous call related to the blackmail money from inside the hotel (most likely from Pascual). Diego gives his goon the extortion money and instructs him to eliminate the blackmailer.
-- Detective Ayala discovers that the murder weapon comes from the Gran Hotel’s collection of gold knives. The only people who had recent access to that cutlery drawer were Don Benjamín, Andrés and Julio.

Pasión y Poder Episodes #76 and #77 Friday, January 29th 2016 Ah, murder, taking that final step into h e double hockey sticks.

Good evening everyone! Well, we had another two episodes into one again tonight. There were some stuff left out, and I'll do my best to highlight the important points in purple

Wow, no repeats tonight, we get right into the action!

As you may recall, Hummy had made some nasty remarks, and had really tested Eladio's patience. Well, Eladio responds by lunging at the old man with his fist in the air determined to strike him. Julia has to hold Hubs back, and assures him that she believes in his innocence. However, nearly being struck doesn't stop the old man from opening his mouth. He goes on to say: that he hopes that this accusation (about Eladio murdering his first associate, Smith) doesn't get connected with The Ratt's extermination. After all, Eladio is still a suspect. Julia has had it with her father's nasty remarks and she shouts at the old man to shut up. "Leave my husband alone, he's innocent", she shouts at her father.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #109 1-29-16 BIANCHI, for crying out loud, BIANCHI!!!

Ciao, miei cari Patio Peeps!  No refrito tonight, let's get right to the action.  Andiamo!

Freddie's head didn't pop off and fly around the room (thanks for that image, Sneaky) but she did collapse and slide out of the chair onto the floor and she wails as Pilar holds her and cries that she is sorry, Federica was so young and had suffered so much.  Of course these people don't know what a closed door is so Dante walks right up and asks what's going on.  Now, friends, whoever said that Pilar has more on the ball than she's letting on, take a bow.  Pilar and Freddie smoothly switch roles and Pilar begins to cry and wail uncontrollably as Freddie pretends to comfort her.  Freddie says, "She's fine, we're getting closer and she was telling me about that evil Maximo.  How could you work for somebody like him?"  Dante defends Maximo, "He got me out prison, he wanted me to be a good man!"  A good man?  Freddie thinks Dante's face and demeanor are like that of a beast.  No!  They don't need help.  She will get Domingo.  She dismisses him.

Pedro and Fiorella walk through the living room.  Fiorella frets about how sad Gianna is and decides she will flash Gianna a smile every time she looks at her.  She asks how it went at ACorp.  He, Eloisa and Osvaldo plan to meet, Fiorella will attend.

Domingo flirts with Simoneta as she brushes Pilar's hair and tells her how spiffy she'll look when they go on their walk around the Ranch.   Pilar is silent, her brow is furrowed.  Eloisa approaches and notices this and that Pilar is more quiet than usual.  Domingo mentions that she was talking to Freddie a bit ago.  Eloisa goes ballistic and leaves the room yelling for Freddie.  There's a cute little bit where Domingo clumsily tries to tell Simoneta that he is....he is....enamorado Pilar says with a roll of her eyes!

Antes muerta que Lichita, 29 Jan 2016... Alicia is victim of another prank with a video of her own face and voice... Augie and Sandra have another Face off... Beto and Vladimir meet again but someone slipped her tongue a bit


Santy has no choice but to confirm that he dealt with Augusto: doing the marketing for ALL his brands in exchange for Alicia being the General Director of Iconika.  Alicia of course takes it the worst way possible (you bought that title for me!)  Roberto tries to twist the knife but she gets mad at him as well. She leaves in a huff, Santy repeats to Beto (Roberto) that what he did, he did for love for Ali (Alicia).
Luciana, Nestor and Shush, as usual, are planning and are at the same time clueless about what is going on.
Santy approaches Ali, apologizes to her. She is irritated that he was not honest with her, same sin Beto is carrying.  Santy tells Augie that he made the deal offer due to her talents in the job, not only for his feelings. He wanted to see her progress/climb and he wanted to celebrate her accomplishments with her.  He holds her hands and repeats to her that what he did, he did for love for her.   He tells her that when he told Augie about the deal, Augie had told him that the front runner for the job was already Alicia.  HE wants her to stop trying to justify her job to others, she deserves to be where she is.   Please!!   Alicia calms down a bit and tells him that she did not expect something like this from him.  She did not want to be treated like a commodity.  She did not want to feel like she owed him something.  He never meant for her to take it like that.  She says they have to practice some forgiveness… (she is no longer mad at him by now… and this is not making Beto happy (loved his facial smirk to let us know that)
At the cafecito, Makos is talking to a client who stutters a bit… Elsa and Nacho are spying from the counter.  HE notices that, so does she.  He tries to set up a date between them.  Magos, to his dismay, is definitely interested in their date.  She tells him about Ximena and have to arrange for someone to watch her. The guy offers to bring Ximena along.
Beto approaches Ali, tells her that her anger at her boyfriend did not last long at all.  She is now mad at him. She tells him she was about to make the same mistake all over again of throwing everything down the tubes to be with him.  She reminds him that now he is married.  He gets mad and tries to yank his wedding band off his finger.
Ximena has her reservations about their ‘three-some’ date.  She seems to get along with the guy pretty good.  But first they have to watch a princesses movie on her laptop. LOL! (that’s what I call the test of a step parent to-be)
Elias is at same table as Bea, he asks her why she picked Ali for Director.  Bea praises Alicia as a woman who keeps her values/priorities in place and that is priceless for her. She turns around toward Augie and Luciana at another table and adds ‘I am talking about loyalty!’
Shush makes the presentation of Augie as the speaker.  Augie starts his speech.  He is talking about what the API represents, marketers committed to the families… yada yada… (seems to me from Augie’s speech he is no longer THAT excited about Beto being the API PRez).
All of a sudden Sandra is there, taking over the spotlight from Augie.  HE is angry grinding his teeth as he whispers to her.

Muchacha Italiana #108 1/28/16

Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!!!!  Grazie Tantissimo!!!!
(Lots of rehash tonight folks, I’ll try to make it brief)

Gia threatens Roxi at knifepoint and they bond over hating Skankia.  Gia is afraid she won’t have appropriate fancy restaurant wear and will look bad at the family dinner w/Gael

Os and Fi talk about nothing, nothing at all – Fed smells a plot and comes asking but Os says he forgot Fi wasn’t a servant anymore and asked her for his jacket. Fi is all ‘yeah I reminded him I don’t serve in this house anymore’ and Fed replies ‘yeah, you don’t serve for anything anymore’ (in Spanish no sierves para nada also means you’re worthless, so, exactly what Fed thinks of both Os and Fi)  
Fi beats feet and Fed and Os trade insults, then Fed says she read the cards and death is close to this house, but Os has more faith in fortune cookies than her stupid cards.

Santino needs to borrow Juli’s shower because his is broken and he’s dirty and sweaty. Juli shows no sign of accompanying him to the shower.  ( hang in there, it’ll matter later)

Fed and Aitana meet. After insulting her,  calling her a polizon = vagrant and making fun of her downfall, Fed suggests they work together to bump off various family members they both hate – starting with Os.

Os is meeting w/Petey and Abue on strategy to beat Fed. He’s all helpful and nice and they notice they change – its all because of the kid, he wants to be a good father and a good example. They gird themselves to go swimming w/the metaphorical sharks.

Karmageddon Discussion: Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse 11/26/16

Let's make pasta primavera and open some vino for this one because we deserve it.

It's time to figure out what tricks the Televisa writers will pull on us this time. After what happened with Mi Corazón es Tuyo I am seriously concerned that most of the nasties of this series will get off without any relevant punishment, but we can at least vent here about what should happen to them. Let's start with the queen of the lot:
