 Hey, JudyB,  we have a snack left-over-rama on the patio tonight. Let's see if we can clear them out. Feel free to take anything left with you. 

1. Andrea runs from her father's room. Adrián runs out half-dressed after her. She demands to know who SHE is cutting though his efforts to avoid answering the question. She calls him a liar and a traitor. He asks for just a minute as he retreats into her room. 

2. Back in his room he tells Olga to get dressed and  get out because Andrea has arrived. Olga starts to get dressed. 

3. Adrián goes back out into the hall more completely dressed telling Andrea that he is ready to talk to her. Andrea leads him away from the bedroom saying she doesn't want to hear what he has to say.  He follows his "little princess" his "little doll" all the way down the stairs. At the bottom, he grabs her arm which she wrenches away from him.  She confronts him about his wish to get back with her mother, to be one family again and now he has a woman in his bed. She  thought that he had bought the house for them. He grabs her again and she screams for him to let her go until he finally does. Suddenly,  he is all concerned about how upset she is getting carrying a baby. Andrea says she was the stupid one for believing him. He hugs her and as she struggles to get out of his embrace.  Olga slips out of the house sight unseen. He begs Andrea to calm down.

⦁ We again watch as Adrian so artfully rips to shreds the divorce papers Natalia came with for him to sign.  He says, "--Not now or ever will I divorce you as I only love you."  And, Vicente, at the same time is telling off Mario.  He says he'd prefer to lose his clients rather than lose his dignity.  (Ok.  We know where this is leading and it forebodes bad times ahead....)

⦁ Nata warns Adi through gritted teeth that with or without his agreement, this divorce will happen.  (Ex-queezy me, but...) she has plenty of evidence of infidelity with him running away with Veronica, including Mario's seeing the two of them embracing as well as that smoking hot smooch while waiting in line to board the plane the night of his anniversary.   When Nata reminds him of this he attacks her and practically tries forcing her to kiss and embrace him right then and there at the restaurant, but Nata fights back.  It's only her pride keeping her at a distance; he can feel her trembling in his arms; therefore it's obvious she still loves him.  She slaps him hard and breaks away.  The only thing he provokes in her now is disgust, she replies and races off.

⦁ Andrea, meanwhile, gets a boatload of crazy speech and tears from her Tia Constanza.  The woman is depressed and babbling at her in her room at the boarding house that they had an agreement.  Couldn't she still be at least a godparent?  She'll give her back all the goodies from before, even.  Andi says no.  She's acting creepy and frightening her.  If Andi was ready to give up the baby before or get an abortion it was because of what she and los Hadad made her believe.  Conz says she'll accept her part in that but not whatever Hadad did.  She screams for forgiveness....Andi gives in somewhat to Conz to allow her to spoil the kid, just to get her out of there.

⦁ Back at the beauty shop, Chole and Kimberly discuss Chole's upcoming OB-Gyn appointment.  

⦁ Nata arrives back at Chente's only to find that Samia is waiting in the living room there to plan the wedding of the year with Nata, something worthy of los Hadad.  And, first, they must find a dress that hides Andi's big belly.  It would be in very bad taste otherwise. 

⦁ Conz runs into Chole downstairs and fails at being polite.  "--I'm seeing my niece.  I should thank you for taking a load off my shoulders (aka Gustavo).  But when Chole drops the adoption fliers, Connie's attitude turns nasty.  "--You're thinking of adoption?" Why yes, they plan to start a family.  Connie wipes a tear from her eye and says perhaps they eventually can stop treating each other as the enemy and then leaves. 

⦁ Chente returns to his parts shop and informs Omar that Mario and Adrian have started a new parts distributorship with giveaway pricing.  Omi reminds him he mentioned not raising prices.  Chente has his back up and says he will weather the storm, no matter what.    He refuses to allow Adrian and Mario to snatch away what it took a lifetime to build.  (Good luck with that, guy.)

⦁ Meanwhile, across the street, Olga stops in front of Tavo's garage and plans more mischief.  Seems La Vulga has her own method of keeping Simba in line.  She makes certain that Chente is there and present as she taunts Simba.  He of course immediately wants his next payoff.  She grabs his arm and forces it down in back of her, then screams for Chente to stop Simba.  Chente comes running to her aid.  Simba was coming on to her and scaring the heck out of her; she whines.  All she wants is to have her life back, without fear of that night again.  Chente warns Simba off.  He has a chance to tell them all the truth about her lying, but he doesn't.  He acts innocent of all her complaints but agrees not to come near L Vulga again....Chente, falls for it all and Viewerville makes another communal trip to the china bowl.

⦁ Samia runs the show, as usual, and tramples all over the surprised Nata.  But of course, Nata should make up the menu, chef that she is.  And, BTW, Adrian is covering all the expenses, so not to worry.  Of course, whatever Chuchu and Andi want is fine.  They will just improve on it with wads of cash.

⦁ At Conz's casota, Claudio has arrived with suitcase in hand.  His place is with Teresa and since she's staying there with Connie, he will join her.  Tere is speechless.  

⦁ Back in the barrio,  Chente brings Vulga home.  He suggests it's time for her to see a specialist and, yes, to look for another place to live.  She's got to learn to be on her own again.  Where would she go?  She has no job since Chole chucked her out.  (Good point.)  Suddenly Vulga says she knows that the fonda still needs a waitress.  She can work for him!!  (Don't think that's what he had in mind.  However, she whines and wheedles till he says ok, but only as a tryout. 

⦁ That night, Simba gets an unexpected visitor.  Adi rushes into Simba's room and points a gun at his face.  Simba's piece of pizza sags towards the floor.  (Viewerville takes bets on whether it will drop and slop all over the floor before the scene ends.)  Adi warns Simba never to try blackmailing Olga again.  Simba agrees, wholeheartedly!  

⦁ Chente informs Nata that he's hired Vulga to be their new waitress.  Nata doesn't like the idea The girl won't accept directions, especially from Nata.  She is certain that something bad is bound to happen because of it.  And this news is just the cherry on top of a horrid day.  They both have had a hell of a day today.  Chente discusses his news about Mario and Adi's competition, and Nata tells hers about Adrian's tearing up the divorce papers.  The two of them pledge their love for each other.  Nobody can force them apart or bankrupt them:  their wealth is the love they have for each other.   

⦁ Once Simba agrees to leave Vulga alone, Adi says he wants Simba to work for him and he'll give him a great salary.  Doing what?  Well, he wants this barrio to become the most dangerous in the city.  To begin with, he will rob Chente's auto parts store!  All right by Simba!

⦁ Fernanda gets the truth out of Mario while they set the dinner table for Juanga and Valentina's arrival. He's joined up with Elias and Adrian for the sake of revenge.  Adrian should never have gotten out of jail, and Elias' kicking Nata and her family out of their home was dastardly.  They both need to suffer the consequences of their actions!  Yes, he knows that right now people will think the worst of him.  He won't tell Nata or anyone else about this plan of his.  Fer kisses him for being such a decent kind o' guy.

⦁ And, before bed, Nata discusses with Chente her disappointment with Mario.  It's as if he never learned his lesson not to do business with Adrian.  She feels like talking to Adi about this move.  Chente warns her not to do that since that's exactly what Adrian's hoping she will do.  Then he'll have power over her once again.

 Hey, JudyB,  here is hoping you are enjoying  Memorial Day on the  patio. I am sure you will find whatever you might like on the grill. Ice cream sundaes are the desserts for tonight!

1. Natalia decides to leave Connie's but Tere decides to stay and wait out Connie's bad mood explaining to Natalia that Connie needs her because she has nobody else but Delia the maid. She reminds Natalia that  if it were Andrea, Natalia would be doing the same.  Natalie has to agree. 

2. Adrián meets with Samia who is upset that Elías keeps pretending that Omar does not exist. Adrián informs her that her son is living in a rented room near Natalia's.   He sees that as a real sorry situation considering he is a Haddad. Samia says it is all her fault for mistreating Andrea but now she is set to recognize her as  a daughter-in-law because, in the end, she loves her son. Adrián cannot believe what he is hearing. Sami confesses to having spent days balancing her energy so she could turn into an understanding, loving and divine mother-in-law. She knows that the way back to her ChuChú is through Andrea so she is dedicated to planing the perfect wedding for them. Adrián smiles.

 ⦁ Andrea tells everyone as she's ready to leave the hospital that she's going to join Omar.  Yup, she's moving downtown to the barrio boarding house that Omi now is renting from Chole.  Although Papi Adrian tries to find various excuses to make her change her mind and join him back at the new manse, Natalia has responses to counter every single one and the barrio it is.

⦁ Adi drives Nata back to his manse for Andi's things; he is still trying to convince her he was right to suggest one night at the manse.  "--Oh, so you can manipulate her like you did Regina to get all three of us living with you again?  --No.  Just drive.  I'm not in the mood to argue with you."  Ok.  He tries flirting with her again.  She responds NEGatively!

 Hey, JudyB, so happy to hear that you are back home!  It will be quicker trip to the patio  The heat lamps will be out tonight. We have savory and sweet tamales to snack on to celebrate your return!

1. As they are working in the kitchen, JuanGa is informing Natalia that the secret to his sauce is that he uses dried chipotles not canned ones. Natalia  could really tell in the flavor. A call from Adrián interrupts their conversation. As Adrián tells Natalia that he is taking  Andrea to the hospital, Andrea is screaming in pain from the back seat of his car.  Natalia will contact Fernanda so they are seen in emergency the emergency room upon arrival. Natalia is on her way.

2. In her room, Granny Magos is saying her rosary when Olga arrives  trying to get on GrannyMagos' good side by bringing her a vase full of fresh flowers to liven up her bedroom. In their conversation, GrannyMagos says the doctors recommend that she get out and walk. Olga suggests that she take her out walking and they could take care of each other. It would be a good chance for them to smooth things over. GrannyMagos is not convinced. Olga continues saying  if GrannyMagos would allow her to take care of her and give her some company, it would be her way of showing her gratitude for staying at her home. Maybe she would realize that she is not as bad as she thinks. GrannyMagos finally gives in asking for a few minutes to get ready. Olga assures her that she will not be sorry and she has a feeling they will end up being be very good friends.

⦁ Claudio witnesses Olga and Adrian leaving Gustavo and Chole's engagement party together.; it's quite obvious the two know each other... 

⦁ Inside the boarding house kitchen, Natalia scolds Andrea for trying to embarrass her in front of Vicente by bringing her father there to stir the pot.  Andi insists Papi's only intention was to say hello to all.  Nata says don't treat me like a child; "-- I am not and you know it."v Andi insists naively that her father is totally repentant, loves only Nata, and never robbed a centavo from anybody.  "-This is not the time for expressing sorrow and resentments. ! spoke to Veronica and know the level of his betrayal.  I am never going to trust Adrian again."  Andi insists Vero is to blame for everything. "--He left us all starving and in street.  He should be in jail for the rest of his life!"  "--Mom!  He didn't steal anything!  Understand that!"  "--For crying out loud!  We're both women now!  Respect what I'm saying!  Is it my fault your father left me for another woman?  Oh, he says I ignored him and so he went to somebody else after twenty years?  Don't be naive, Andrea!  Your father plans everything to the nth degree.  He's a businessman who always plans for the future in any deal he makes.   He leaves nothing to chance; he knows all the possibilities and doesn't make a move unless.  He knew exactly what he was doing and therefore is totally responsible for the Hell he left us in!!  So, do not get mad at me if I offend him or do not act tolerant around him!  Because it isn't right; it isn't fair for either me or my family!  Respect my position!."

Hey, JudyB,  a friend baked us some sugar cookies with plenty of butter and multicolored sugar sprinkles on top.  I will be bringing them to the patio tonight. There are lilies of the valley blooming all around. It is so nice that it is lighter longer outside for our viewing convenience! There is nothing like spring. 

1. Natalia catches Olga all decked out and looking like she is ready to go out on the prowl.  She is feeling much better. Natalia suggests that she go to have the doctor check her out first since she was having so much pain earlier. Olga isn't interested. Natalia doesn't think it is such a good idea for her  to go out at night on top of it all. Olga insists she isn't a child. Natalia offers to go with her. Nope, Olga only wants to be left in peace. JuanGa comes in, Olga tries to ignore him and pushes past him on her way out.

2.

 Quick Recap because I spent the morning doing chores, cleaning the kitty litter box is never fun.

*Am I the only one that just realized the Natalia's one awful child is the child named after her awful father?* Also, are the cops investigating Olga's attack? I've missed episodes and recaps because life is currently hell.

• Natalia walks in in Olga kissing Chente, Olga tries to blame the kiss on Chente but Natalia tells her she saw everything and finally Olga tells the truth- she forced the kiss on poor Chente and OMG why don't they pack her things and send her on her way what is wrong with them why are they so dumb, I wrote this the way my brain processed it last night. 
• Chente thanks Natalia for trusting him and expresses regret that his actions have led to Olga having to live with them, he is also upset that Natalia had to give up her bedroom to Olga and proposes that they start living as a family and invites her to move in to his bedroom.
• Olga is eavesdropping and almost has a stroke.
• Juan Gabriel made a mistake with the repair of a car that could have caused the car to explode, this makes Tavo fire him.
• Juan Gabriel cries, he lost his job and his woman, what is a guy to do? He needs a job that will value him.

Hey, JudyB, hope you are settled in and ready for the show.  Save me a seat. I have some chocolates for us to snack on. This looks like this going to be a good episode  tonight. 

1. Olga tells Ben she wants him to be quiet as a "tomb" because if he isn't,  she is going to cut his tongue out and give it to the dogs to eat. He starts to beg her not to as he cries. She covers his mouth and goes on to threaten to put a spell on his Granny Magos if he doesn't behave himself with her. Ben  promises her that he will behave well with her. She says that is good because he now knows what is going to happen. She tells him to stick out his tongue and touches it with her gross fingernail. She repeats that she will cut his tongue out as he begs her not to. She shushes him to be quiet.

2.  At the rooming house, Chole asks Vale how Tavo is doing. She says he is real sad and she knows he misses her. Chole says there are some things that just are not negotiable and this is one of them. Chole explains it isn't because they do not love each other. They want very different things out of life. She wants a family and a baby but hat is the last thing Tavo wants. What really offended her is that he wanted to compensate her by offering her the rooming house and the beauty shop property. Vale sees that as  such a good opportunity to own something. Vale cannot see accepting a house as a gift. Vale suggests that she buy it from Tavo by making monthly payments until she is the owner. Vale has to admit that isn't a bad idea.

⦁ Vicente and Natalia agree to take Vicente's reimbursement check from Adrian to buy whatever equipment, tables, and chairs will be necessary for the fonda as an investment.

⦁ Regina informs Andrea over the phone about their needing to leave Chente's house due to Olga's moving in.  Andi says she'll come by in the morning to show them the new house El Wonderful Loving and Repentant Papi bought them. ( Allow me to retch!)

⦁ The next morning Olga puts on a hot pink negligee and sneaks into Chente's bedroom.  She loses it and bawls out, "NO!" when she sees a naked Nata spooning with her beloved.  Nata wakes up and asks what she's doing in there.  "--No!  What are you doing in here, you shameless hussy!"  (Lest Viewerville scream back in vain, "-- Look in the mirror and tell us now what YOU are," we must remember ultimately that La Vulga's emotional elevator does not go all the way to the top.  In fact, if the top is  floors18-20, hers stops at 10-12. )

Hey, JudyB, the lilacs are blooming on the patio and their fragrance is permeating the air tonight. We have some lovely blueberry scones with tea or coffee to get comfy with.  Enjoy!

1. Connie continues her harangue criticizing her mother for never being an example for her daughters because she never demanded her rightful place with their father so they could have had his last name. She thinks that the reason that Tere is now supporting Chole  and not her is because she identifies with Chole the whore being "the lover."  Tere must think she is looking in a mirror when she sees her.  Connie sees them as being pathetic because they both are nothing more than a pair of doormats. Tere tells her to shut up and slaps her hard in the face.  Tere stalks off after telling her that she will never forgive her, never. 

2. Still at the park, Natalia and Chente agree with the therapist that the next appointment will be in the office. A new little boy Chucho comes over to play with them. Chente invites Chucho to come to play with them on Chente's team since he needs "the help." In tears, Chucho tells Ben that he is so lucky that he has a father to play with him. His father died. Ben gives him a hug. Chente gets them all to play.
