Me Declaro Culpable #31, 3/31/20: Some Very Illogical Decisions
Paolo rolls up on Natalia while she's confessing into the phone and...he's wearing earphones and doesn't hear a thing. Cheap trick, writers. They have an endless back-and-forth over a lackluster dinner: she insists he watch the whole thing, not just the syrupy intro, and he tries to get her to just tell him whatever. Finally she pouts so much he agrees to do what she says she wants, which of course causes her to immediately change her mind. Bok-bok.
Later he accidentally deletes the video. These two together do not add up to one even mildly interesting person.
Bufete of Revolving Doors
Gael gleefully shows Julian into his new
Bertie materializes in Franco's office and, for her next trick, conjures both Alba with the coffee and Tiziano with the divorce papers. Franco is justifiably suspicious. Once he and Alba are alone, they have a karma-tempting exchange about how they are getting closer and closer to their goal. What's actually getting closer and closer is Mauro, who bursts in and catches them kissing.
Alba flees and the two cross dull verbal swords ("What is with you?" -- "No, what's with you?") until Franco remembers to spill the most important bean about the divorce -- that it was Roberta's idea. When he churlishly asks if Mauro can just accept that, his suegro tells him not to trip over the desk on his way out...after he drops his resignation on it. Buh-bye.

Here are the current evening telenovelas (all times are Eastern Daylight Time):
• 9-10PM—La Doña 2
• 10-11PM—Operación Pacífico**
**On Monday, March 30, Operación Pacífico will not be shown. Instead, Telemundo will air a 1-hour program entitled Coronavirus: lo que debes saber hoy (what you need to know now). Both the Telemundo site and Zap2It agree. However, it might nonetheless be wise to check at 10 pm on Monday to be sure. Telemundo has surprised us at times in the recent past. Also, La Doña 2 has at long last reached its etapa final (¡Ojalá!)

Me Declaro Culpable #30, 3/30/20: Secrets Discovered, Confessions Made, Dreams Lost, And Roberta's Still Crazy
Home Sweet Home
Meanwhile Roberta and Mauro, both awake back at the house, are having a contentious papa-daughter chat. She KNOWS Franco is not working late as he claims. For sure he's with that Alba bitch. Mauro defends her as a "pobre muchacha" which ticks Bertie off big time. So, you love her more than me!? (Well Alba did save his life, whereas Bertie tried to take it. Sooo.....)

CarayCaray Lexicon for the Patio of Lowered Expectations - Part III
Beso Interruptus – A near kiss, which would have been consummated between a couple, had it not been for some crucial (and probably fortuitous) interruption by a third party. (Doris’ mini-cap in Y Mañana Sera Otro Día.)
Can’t letgoitis – Refusal to admit that a lover or marital partner can move on. (Nandicta’s recap in AQNMD.)
Chickenitis – Disease produced when someone has the opportunity to say or do something to clear up misunderstandings and doesn’t. (Nina on AQNMD referring to Paulina not telling Adrian about his daughter Valentina)
Creative Constipation – Label used for telenovelas that can’t “go.” (Lila referring to where Vino el Amor was trying to “go.”)
Cue the Kayak – When a scene in any telenovela gets too tedious, this phrase is shouted out begging for the end credits to appear. (Etymology: Where kayaking did not feature in Triunfo de Amor, but accompanied the end credits. Originally from the pen of wordsmith Capt. Silvia Sharkbait referring William Levy in TdA.)

Me Declaro Culpable #29, 3/27/20: Apparently Denial Isn’t Only in Egypt
Ok, I concede. They did it. Neither had ever felt the way they did ever before. It was like flying, but this time they flew together. On with all the hijinks for today.
It’s a Fizzle
The confrontation that we all thought Alba was contemplating as she flew out of the coffee shop when she left Blanca turned into a nothing about even less. She points at Mauro and tells him that because of his *relationship* with Ingrid, he’d better not be planning anything to prejudice her case. Mauro Denies anything of the sort. Berta is relieved. Mauro promises to back up Franco in her case.

Me Declaro Culpable #26, 3/24/20: The Geometry of Drama
Drunk Roberta continues to insult everyone at the dinner party, and after every single member of her family tells her to go to her room, she grabs the car keys and an entire bottle of bourbon and heads out to Tiziano's bachelor pad, where she demands that he knock her up yesterday. Amazingly, he's up for it -- only not in the way she wants, because it turns out he had a vasectomy way before yesterday. He continues to swear his love for her -- why does she think he never married, anyway? -- and she continues to treat him worse than dirt. And now she's really mad because she got down with her dress on for no good reason.
Point A to Point C
Franco drives Gabriel back to Aqua House, where Gabe corners him for a "man-to-man" talk. "Are you in love with my Mom?" Franco comes clean, and Gabe says then dude, get a divorce already. What does it tell you when a 16-year-old boy is the only one who gives decent advice? The conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Pedro, who has invited himself to an impromptu slumber party.
Point D to Point E
Julian passes out after dropping Natalia's name but before dropping Paolo's, but even Katia can put two and two together and get homewrecker. She runs off to dish to Paolo, but he's not home and Dante won't let her in. Good doggie!

Me Declaro Culpable #25, 3/23/20: Where Has the Magic Gone?
It’s been a long night for Nat and Paolo
They are still discussing the Always-There-Never-Wanted Julián’ phone call interrupting their unfinished Maximus Festivus Miraculum attempt. The fact that Julián said that it is now suspected a woman caused Paolo’s accident worries Nat. She asks Pao if that would make a difference to him? How? Well, Nat says, as she srolls through the list of her own probable reasons for it being a real accident. Pao’s not buying it. Man or woman, he’s in a wheelchair and full of anger towards the person. Nat wishes he hadn’t answered the call. He tries to sweet talk her back to where they left off. Nat says it’s not happening. The Magic Has Gone.
The KISS is Up and Hanging
Before Franco goes home, he stops by the office to hang his newest acquisition, Alba’s Awful Artwork, Executed in the Dark. Interestingly, he hangs it behind his desk, where he won’t see it all the time. Back home, he crawls into bed as far away from B-P Bertie as he can. The Magic is Gone. Meanwhile, Alba writes a letter.
Nat is entertained by a two-legged Paolo
While Paolo sleeps, Nat snivels watching him exhibit his soccer skills on TuTube. She climbs back into bed and whispers for Pao to forgive her, she didn’t mean to hurt him. He sleepily says she didn’t.

Me Declaro Culpable #24, 3/20/20: Where Were You When The Lights Went Out?
Aqua House of Hell
Gabe is back in the Snake Pit of Tia Ingrid's house but he has a plan. He'll encourage her to set a place for Papi Javier at the table. After all "he's always with her, so why not include him at dinner." She's all chuffed and happy that he understands. But alas, the little whelp goes a mite too far, and suggests she talk out loud to her brother. Ingrid smells a rat, makes him stand up and sure enough, the recording phone on his lap falls to the floor. She's on it like a panther. With hands of steel evidently, she destroys the phone-- literally rips it apart in seconds. Amazing.
