Pasión y Poder Martes 3/1/16 #96
Chapter
96: No Valor, No Discretion
Whether
in Roman times, the Renaissance, or during revolutions, the worst
social sin is cowardice. It is always necessary to present a brave
face to the world no matter what one faces and to be discreet about
it. You close ranks around your own and take no potshots at anyone
else lest they backfire. Some people just don't learn that lesson no
matter how many times anyone tries to teach them. Others love to
watch these people defy that lesson at their peril so they can enjoy
the consequences. Or write about them. That's what keeps me in
martinis, cognac, and champagne. – D.D.

Antes muerta que Lichita February 29: Lichita continues to recover from her evil spell, but accepts Augusto's attentions.
- Augusto continues to breathe down Alicia's neck asking her to become his lover. She flirts and puts him off but finally says yes, for Beto's sake. He announces their "formal relationship" in front of all Ikonika. Beto is disgusted. She is congratulated for rising to the top of the food chain.
- Beto had managed to spend the night with Mateo in Augusto's penthouse (thereby conveniently hearing Augusto panting over Alicia). They later discuss how much Mateo has been asked to conceal (by Beto, by Sheila, by Augusto) and Mateo promises to help Beto so they can go away and live together forever. Beto tells Luciana the escape must be soon, and that Gumi is key because he's one of Augusto's bodyguards.

Pasion y Poder #95 Brando DeNiro Pacino and DeCaprio Ain't Got Nuttin' on Humberto
The shrink tells Eladio to back off of Julia, she doesn’t
see him as her boo anymore. Eladio grabs
the shrink and tells him that he won’t be able to control his emotions anymore
if he doesn’t have Julia. Yes! Cuz I loves me some Evil E! Anyways, the doctor remains calm and
doesn’t call security. The Hulk, returns
to his Bruce Banner and comes up with plan B.
If Julia won’t see him as her boo, he will make her see as her baby’s
daddy. Good luck with that Evil E.
Nina and Franny are in the garden enjoying tea and
scones. Franny tells Nina to screw both
men and Julia (in different ways, of course) and get more cash! Cha-ching! Franny uses a vulgar gesture to
demonstrate. I go to church on Sundays, so I won’t tell you which finger she used.

El Hotel de los Secretos #25, 2/29/16 Monday: Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown!
This little gem was brought to you by our friend and Patio regular, Pablo Villalobos! Many thanks indeed! :)
Duelus interruptus
The duel between General Ballesteros and Felipe Alarcón has lasted for the whole weekend. They started counting on Friday
and they are still counting and walking back to back. Suddenly, the
duel is interrupted by a loud scream that was probably heard all the way
to Puebla. At this rate, they are never going to kill each other! General's seventh sense, told him that the scream was Mercedes and
throwing his pistol, ran like a fox on hunting season.
One less secret
Meanwhile,
not far from there, by the irony gates from Hell, I mean, the hotel,
Isabel Alarcón is witness to the last thing she wanted to believe. Her
mother was actually a snake. Doña Teresa had stopped Cristina Olmedo
right on her tracks, and was asking her to give the famous letter back.
Suddenly, something clicked inside her head and everything made sense.
It felt like a puzzle being put together. When Cristina heard the scream,
she asked, what, another dead maid?

At a glance
-- 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.

-- 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.

-- Belén is Porfirian Mexico’s most expensive date. She spends all of Andrés’s savings during their day-trip to the capital, then she yells at the poor schmuck and insults him on the train journey back.
-- Jacinto is going to become Diego's new Idiot Goon. Garrido, the original Idiot Goon, does not know yet.
-- 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.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #109 Alicia, or should we say not so little red ridinghood, starts to put the puzzle together ... but might be putting herself in the wolf's mouth
SOrry this is long, but it was a key fast moving episode... here we go...
Luciana can’t
believe Roberto asking her to flee… (I agree, Ingrid Martz is great in this
type of character)… Luciana goes home
and tells Valeria all about Roberto’s request and that Roberto’s son IS
real. And that is why Roberto is doing
everything Augie wants, he has him locked in the penthouse. Valeria asks if we leave, what about Gumaro,
the baby daddy?
At
hospital/clinic, Nestor thanks Alicia for coming to visit him… no one else has
come to visit him (not his baby mama, even if he has been supporting them
financially all this time and he spent half his life with them only for her to
cheat on him with his best friend). HE admits he has not been the best man, but
he is not that filth that most people believe.
Alicia tells us that even her have come to build a soft spot for
Nestor. She wonders what is Roberto’s
back story.
Sandra later
meets with Alicia, they are talking about the campaign for some toy
manufacturer. Augie comes in and is surprised that Sandra and Alicia are
working together on anything. Fatima prevents any sparks and takes Sandra away.
Gumaro is
outside the office faking being the carbon copy of that other guy, on phone with
Roberto. Roberto recommends to Gumaro to
keep trying with Luciana so she will forgive him. Roberto reminds GUmaro that they are still
bros and comrades. Now that he and Luciana are gone then he will be free to
move around as he needs.
Alicia tells
Augie that he feels free to come in whenever through a door that no one ever
used before… HE tells her that the accident has made him think about some
things… he says after all he and her are very similar… they both would go to
any measure to get what they want. HE
had not told her that when very young, he was taken away from his mother’s
arms.
Fatima asks
Sandra what is bothering her so much.
Sandra is jealous that Augie even uses the ‘secret door’ to be with Alicia
whenever he wants. Fatima says she knows
Alicia enough to assure Sandra that Alicia would not submit to that kind of
relationship with Augie. Sandra says
after 10 years of dedicating to him, all she got was a dark apartment. She did
not deserve that.
Augie tells
Alicia that the TOledos dragged him into that house and away from his mother
against his will. Alicia says now she
understands why he never lifted a finger against Roberto when she gave him Roberto’s
files. Maybe because they both started from the bottom. Augie says he has not forgotten anything
about that file, He is only waiting for the right moment to make a move. HE
asks her in return, is she planning her own revenge against Roberto? She assures him she is looking for justice,
not revenge. Augie gets a call and sends
Alicia away.

Antes muerta que Lichita #108 Thursday 2/25/16
Thanks Carvivlie and Jarifa for filling in!!
Alicia has made her turn for the good and at a meeting with the staff talked about no more abuse or making fun of people. Elias thought great idea and made mention of getting rid of it bec it had been around for years.
The staff, minus Chuchette, is on a bus to go to a client(?) with Nestor driving. Looks like he is texting, looking at his phone and they get into an accident. Apparently two of the employees are hurt bad, Nestor and someone else we don't see. Nestor needs blood but he has a rare type. Guess who has it? Alex. So Alex gives blood and Alicia tells Nestor and Nestor is super unhappy. But Alicia tells him that it saved his life. Alex comes in the room and gives Nestor a lesson on how gay people are the same as everyone else etc. Nestor seems to really take it to heart and thanks Alex for saving his life and thanks him for the lesson.

El Hotel de los Secretos #23, 2/25/16 Thursday: Lupe Gets His Mojo Back; Angela Gets Some of Her Own
WHERE IS PIANO MAN? I MISS HIM AND HIS DOGS
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.

Pasión y poder, Episode 93, Thursday, February 25, 2016: Got milk?
Only the lowlifes are smiling these days. Things are going well for Chimp Boy and Franco. Humberto is enjoying himself too, though we didn't get to chuckle with him tonight. Jorge has been looking cockier lately. (Okay, Clara and Justino – the only unambiguously good guys in the story – are happily in love. Do we care? Seriously?) But everyone else is wallowing in the Slough of Despond. So let's take a look at each sad story tonight, not scene by choppy scene, but character by sappy character:
On the home front, Arturo finds himself confronted with a powerful female triumvirate. Regina, blaming her father for her breakup with David, has now allied herself with Nina and Daniela (who, by the way, are looking a little better these days in their almost, but not quite mother-daughter dresses). Regina wants to leave Grupo Montenegro, but Nina convinces her to stay and keep an eye on Arturo from the inside.

Antes muerta que Lichita #107 Wednesday 2/24/16. "Alicia's Conscience Returns"
After Augusto's declaration of looooove, Alicia says she now knows why she got the award. Augusto insists she got it on her own. His feelings had nothing to do with it. Augusto asks her not to close the door on him. He wants her to let him win her heart. She does not know what to say. In that case, he says it is better to not say anything. Tomorrow they will be back at work as if nothing happened. He pushes her trophy to her. Congratulations! Alicia is very somber through all of this. The expression on her face does not change.
Sandra is sneaking around Icónika. She ends up in Augusto's office entering through the secret panel where she runs into Elías rummaging through Augusto's desk. They are both surprised by the other's presence. Elías wants to know if she is there looking for revenge on Augusto. Of course not she answers. She reminds him about how he always hated Augusto. Elías says he really does now because Augusto used him to frame Beatriz at the motel with the photos. Sandra is shocked. Fátima comes in and wants to know why they are in Augusto's office. It was locked. They make up a story that they heard something in the office (maybe an animal or Godzilla) so they went in to investigate. Elías and Sandra do their Godzilla imitation as they walk out. Fátima clearly does not believe them but does her own Godzilla imitation, too.

Premiere March 8: Sueño de Amor. Brief synopsis. Who's in?
Nandicta has said she'd like to recap this one. Other takers? Contact me at caray@mappamundi.com
Dream of Love tells the story of Esperanza and Ricardo and their desire to find each other again twenty years after living the intensity of first love. But today their lives are very different ...
Esperanza is a single mother and teacher in two different schools: in the exclusive Institute Palacios and also in the simple College Vasconcelos. She struggles every day to get ahead.
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.
Life reunites them when Ricardo arrives, as an undercover agent, at Institute Palacios; he is following the trail of the terrible criminal "La Sombra".
Betty Monroe -- Esperanza Guerrero: a friendly, patient, fair and brave teacher. She is the mother and father at the same time and gives unreservedly to her family. She has dreams: to have her family improve its station in life, to build a school for poor children, and above all to see Richard, the love of her life, again.
Cristián de La Fuente -- Ricardo Alegría: the man who fought for the American dream and got it. He's an Interpol agent and the father of two wonderful children. But living with his wife Tracy has become untenable. Ricardo will have the good fortune to reunite with the love of his life. With patience and a lot of affection, they will establish a "reconstructed family" with all their children.
Carmen Salinas -- Margarita Manzanares: bold, cheerful and witty. She's a lively granny who understands technology. She always gives the right advice and wants to help her family find happiness. There is conflict with her daughter Silvana, director of the pompous Institute Palacios bombastic while Margarita runs the simple College Vasconcelos.
La sombra: a very dangerous international criminal, an art and jewel thief and jewels willing to do anything to get what he wants. He's been a nightmare not only for police but also for Ricardo and his family. He can even abandon his identity so nobody can catch him.
Sabine Moussier -- Tracy Kidman: Ricardo's capricious, impatient and selfish wife. For her the job comes first, she neglects her marriage and children. 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.
El Chapo de Sinaloa -- Jerónimo Durán: a very cheerful and hardworking bricklayer whose talent for singing may turn him into the builder of his own dream.

Pasión y Poder Martes 2/23/16 #91
Chapter
91: Dirty Pool
The
most powerful thing about money is that it makes its owners feel they
are somehow superior to others. This is not limited to old money;
nouveau riches like Eladio and Nina are not immune and often they are
the biggest offenders and the worst snobs. Money can buy a great many
things, but character isn't one of them, especially when one has had
a poor example to follow. – D.D.
