El Hotel de los Secretos #24, 2/26/16 Friday: We Have A Triple Cliffhanger, People! And Maybe A Couple of Deaths For Monday!
-- Because of Cristina’s reappearance and Diego’s serenata, Isabel and Julio may have broken up. We’re still looking into it.
-- Felipe tries but fails to avoid the duel. Teresa enlists Alfredo’s help but Sofía forbids her husband from participating in the duel.
-- Lupe wants Ángela to help him write a cookbook for the President's advisor, Don Javier Góngora, and hopes this would propel him to national stardom if his recipes are chosen to adorn the banquets of the country’s centennial celebrations.
-- Sofía fires the Doc and refuses to let him examine her swollen belly. She may be having a hysterical pregnancy and she may be losing her marbles. We’re still looking into it.
-- Poor Violeta is going to go back to the cantina but the valiant Doc vows to help her get out of there.
-- Diego is trying to trap Andrés through future loans.
-- Cristina sneaks into the Gran Hotel and retrieves the letter. She is stopped by Teresa on her way out. Teresa explicitly demands that Cristina return the letter to her. Isabel is hidden from view but she hears everything.
-- Mercedes and Eugenia fight over Felipe then decide to join forces to save him from being killed by their father in a duel. They try to escape the room where their father locked them by jumping out the window. Eugenia may have pushed her sister to a certain death. We are still looking into it.
-- A scream, most likely coming from a Mercedes plummeting to her death, provided a providential interruption to the duel. Felipe was not killed by the general. Drat!

Pasión y Poder Episode #94 February 26th 2016 While Franco plays nice, Erick gets called a murderer (twice) AND a man whore, Julia realizes that she has to pay her employees, and Fanny gives Nina the finger.
If you can watch the episode again, watch the last scene again. When Fanny is with Nina, and counting on her fingers, she accidentally gives Nina the finger, and Uni blurs it out.
Franco, the two-faced bastard, tries to stir up some trouble, when he barges into Eladio's office and informs him that Julia is with Arturo in HIS office. Eladio is impactado, but does his best to keep his cool, as he remembers that he must respect Julia's wishes to stay out of her life. Oh, this wasn't the reaction that Franco had hoped for, so he further twists the knife, and points out to Eladio, how it's one thing for Arturo to be seeking out Julia, and another thing for JULIA to be seeking out Arturo. Franco tells Eladio how it enrages him and irks him to see him so depressed while Julia is over there with Arturo. Eladio losses his cool with Franco, tells him to shut up several times, yells at him that he can't say anything about Julia, and finally calms down and tells him that he did good by informing him, and that he must always keep him informed about what is happening.
Consuelo gets off the phone with her doctor, and informs Clara, that she's out of milk due to angustía (anxiety, distress), and that it's psychological. And yes, she's been feeling a lot of anxiety, with the mere thought of the Chimp (Erick) wanting to take Erick Jr. from her. Clara advises Consuelo to stay calm, and not pay any attention to what Chimp Boy says. Consuelo asks Clara to babysit Erick Jr. and heads out the door on her way to GM.

El Hotel de los Secretos #23, 2/25/16 Thursday: Lupe Gets His Mojo Back; Angela Gets Some of Her Own
Since Lupe was the best part of the show, let's start with him. Lupe is still moping around the kitchen after he's put himself out for a gala dinner to impress epicurean gourmand Don Javier Congora (Alfie's uncle, in case we've forgotten). Angela observes. She asks what's wrong? Lupe answers, nothing, or rather, he says, "What is happening is that nothing happens. (Que pasa es que nada pasa--ISBIS) She makes him follow her up to the dining room. She shows him the empty plates. What does he see? Dirty dishes, he answers. No, she replies, they are empty plates. She rattles off all the entrees he prepared. [I'll give you a list of them tomorrow.] Where is the food? She continues, it is gone-eaten-finished. You should be proud. He gives her a quick kiss on the cheek (thanks, Vivi). Then she lets him go. She stays behind reflecting on his triumph.
The next day he's still moping in the kitchen when Angela comes rushing in to tell him Don Javier is on his way down to see him. Don J is gushing and effusive. He'd like to stay longer and discuss recipes but he has to rush to catch his train. He hands Lupe his card and says we'll communicate later. He would like Lupe's advice on menus for some of his grand affairs. Lupe is left speechless, except for a "Gracias," prodded out of him by Angela. She's beaming as he turns toward her and she promptly invades his personal space and busses him on the cheek. Surprised by her own initiative, she turns and leaves. Lupe indicates to the kitchen maid watching she is to forget what she saw.
Next time Angela passes by the kitchen, she sees him engaged, full of energy, sniffing the fresh fish and giving instructions to all the kitchen staff.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles Ricardo is married to Tracy, a woman who puts puts her profession ahead of their children, Rodrigo and Selena. For this reason Ricardo is practically a "single" parent who must combine parenthood with his work as an agent of Interpol.

But as soon as she realizes Ricardo and his family can find happiness, she'll do what she can to become their nightmare. She is American and has little command of Spanish.

Pasión y Poder Martes 2/23/16 #91
Labels: poder
Un camino hacia el destino - synopsis in English
Setting: the hacienda of the Altamirano family. Fernando Altamirano (Red Gustavo), head of the family, is a widower and the father of Amelia (Lisette Morelos), the eldest daughter, and Mariana (Ana Patricia Rojo), the apple of his eyes.
Pedro Perez (Jorge Aravena) is gardener on the estate. He has secretly loved Amelia forever. But she's in love with Luis Montero (René Strickler), an ambitious young law student.
At the age of 18 Amelia gives herself to Luis and becomes pregnant. But Luis rejects her in order to marry Marissa Gomez Ruiz (Eugenia Cauduro), a widow millionaire banker. Somehow Don Fernando comes to believe the child Amelia is expecting is Pedro's - he throws both of them out of the house.
Pedro marries Amelia and for love of her assumes paternity of the child whom Amelia christens Luisa Fernanda (Paulina Goto). (Luisa for the real dad and Fernanda for the grandfather).
Luis and Marissa's wedding takes place quickly because she has to go to Spain for bank business. She ends up paying for Luis to study law in Spain.
Marissa has a son, Carlos Gomez Ruiz (Horacio Pancheri), who despite his young age is not deceived. He's always known Luis is a playboy who married his mother for money. This makes for an awful relationship between Luis and Carlos.
Years pass ... Luisa Fernanda is a beautiful young lady of 18, who is finishing high school and has two passions in life: she plays the violin beautifully though she's never studied it, and she loves gardening, which she learned from her father Peter.
A meeting led by fate makes Luis run over Fernanda, ending at the hospital where Carlos works ...

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #124 Monday, 2-22-16 The Grand Finale!!!!
We are welcomed into the finale with the vintage clip from the original novela which morphs into the present day opening and the absolutely beautiful Pedro and Fiorella's theme, Adonde va Nuestro Amor.
We are flung immediately into the gasoline-soaked foyer where the prostrate Fidel lies, still unconscious. Suddenly we see Pedro wrestling Freddie for the lighter and he seems to be having a hard time subduing her. There is an awkward edit or either I blinked for a long time but instantaneously Freddie has been apprehended by several dudes. She curses the family as she is dragged out. Everyone is there holding their noses and complaining about how the place reeks of gasoline. There is light chatter about how Freddie should have been in prison and a freshly showered Fidel is briefly scolded about the lax security. He apologizes and offers the excuse of the family emergency. Pedro excuses him. Pilar frets that Freddie will come back. The scene is rounded out as the family announces they're all going back to bed and P-yew! it smells in there. Simoneta gets to clean the whole mess up as they scurry away.
The next morning, the whole family gathers in the spic and span foyer to bid Fiorella, Pedro and Sergio arrivederci as they head off to Maretea, Italy!
