Hey, JudyB, it is another scorcher on the patio tonight. The Good Humor man will be making his rounds with endless treats!  I have always liked the strawberry shortcake or the Mickey ice cream bar myself. Decisions, decisions! 

1. Mario is confronting Vero about his sister Tania. She hopes he has left his tigress in her cage with a double lock on the  door. He tells her not to talk about his novia that way. She smiles saying she agrees that he should be affectionate with his pets, but he needs to train them. He makes it clear that he is not there for insults but came to clarify the situation with his sister. She is convinced that Adrián was behind the death of his sister. Mario tells her the dates don't match and shows her some documents to prove it. Tania  was dead before Adrián traveled to Italy. Vero thinks that Adrián must have hired a hitman. Vero is impressed by Mario's attitude. Tania abandoned him when he was in jail,  left with all of his money and it still hurts him to have lost her. He says she was still  his sister and the only family that he had. He blames Vero for having pressured Tania to have done what she did. Vero pats him on the face and tells him that he is a good man. He recoils from her touch. Maybe she made a mistake choosing Adrián. She asks Mario if they had married, would they have been happy?

Trust me when I tell you that having to re-wind to watch as honey drips from Olga's lying lips and Adrian's vile smile a mile giggling is truly giving me a leg up on sainthood. --  ed!

Ø  Andrea tells her mother to be kind to her papi.  Adrian has maneuvered the fonda's shutdown and now gotten it lifted by the so-called Health Department officials.   Vicente gives Magos the bad news about his decision to make an honest woman of Olga (as if).  Olga comes back to the boarding house while Adi and Natalia are still chatting.  She yells for Chole who eventually comes into the patio area with the others.  La Vulga feigning innocence advises all there that Chente has proposed.Read more »

Hey, JudyB, it is a hot one on  the patio tonight.  We have Italian ice in the traditional: lemon, strawberry or chocolate to help us keep our cool! 

1. At Connie's,  Claudio begs Tere to take him back. He threatens suicide as he does repeatedly in this episode. Tere throws him out. He sits on the steps of the mansion as Tere cries inside. 

2. Connie goes to see Vero feeling she had not other choice after the threats Vero made to her. What dos Vero want? Ver smiles.

3. Chente is still begging for Natalia to continue their relationship. She is begging him, in spite of their love for each other, to end it all. 

4. Vero asks why Connie didn't greet her at the quinceañera. Connie answers that she doesn't like to be associated with social climbers.  Vero wonders if the real reason is that she is afraid that Natalia might  discover that Connie always knew about what was going on with Vero and Adrián. Connie says she knew "something" about it. Vero pins her down saying she knew all about it but wouldn't get involved to warn her sister. Connie has to admit the day that Natalia found out about Vero and Adrián  was one of the happiest days of her life. What Connie didn't expect was that Adrián would get bored with Vero so quickly. Vero insists that Adrián is still hers. Connie wonders about that knowing that Adrián begged Natalia on his knees for another chance. Vero is sure he isn't after Natalia for love. He is hiding some dark secret from her and she is going to find out what it is.

Judy B, hate to say but our shindig on the patio was cancelled last night due to the horrible thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Both episodes were pre-empted by weather reports.  That didn’t matter much but then the electricity went out.  I watched the episodes  on my phone this a.m. and am now having a lovely coffee out ( before it hits 100).  I am on my trusty tablet and will give you a few highlights.

1. Olga makes sure she tells Natalia she is pregnant. JuanGa wants to marry her. Chole kicks her out. She wheedles her way into living at Chente’s. 2. Nobody believes 2XJosé about Lorenzo. Lorenzo might lose an eye from the fight but still puts the moves on Regina. 3. Natalia will always love Chente but theirs will never be. 4. Adrián and Vero get their freak on with guns and sex. She suspects he really wants to get back with Natalia because of some money he has discovered. 5. After talking to Fernanda, Mario decides to romantically pursue Vale. He tells her he loves her. 6.Granny Magos tells Chente to make sure Olga’s baby is his, but it seems he is too easily/stupidly swayed by her doctor/lab report. 7. Tavo is still with Connie and insulting Chole.8. Granny Magos tells Olga she has her number and calls her a slut to her face. 9. Tere finds out that perpetually drunkClaudio has been lying about  the ambassadorship and wants a divorce. 10. Adrián tries to put moves on Natalia again

It's that time again! We need to talk about who gets what's coming to him (or her) for all their evil deeds. Most of us here are experienced viewers so we know that what we think is right is not always what the writers will have done. So.... here we ask the two questions:

• What do you think the writers will do to them?

• What do you think they really deserve (if different)?

Keep in mind that all of these are sexist and classist.  All info is through Episode 79.

Veronica Alanis Gomez / Denia Agalianou

Guilty of at least one murder (Tania, sister of Mario), several counts of embezzlement, adultery, and probably various other sexually deviant behavior we have not been privy to. Guilty of colluding with Adrian and Pedro for embezzlement, Olga for potential crimes against Natalia, – including murder – and Elias against his own son. Paid Olga for information. Guilty of double-crossing Adrian and thinking she is all that and a pound of Beluga caviar.

We still don't know what the connexion is between blood and her yellow roses, but let's hope that gets confirmed. She may be the reincarnation of a past serial killer.

 [Parte 1~~ ***NOTICE: 2 hrs. of episodios this Monday night!!*** --Ed.]

⦁ Natalia tells Adrian it's time for her and Regina to move out and move on.  (Her boots were also made for walkin'....)  She's been there the past two weeks as a debt to him for risking his life to save her from the thieves.  He accuses her of reacting negatively to Veronica's unexpected visit.  Nopers!  She could care less--but isn't it curious that she's running around free as a lark when she's supposedly the mastermind behind all  the company fraud??? (Viewerville was so entirely awestruck it hadn't had a moment to question such.)  This is very astute on Nata's part and Adrian has to do a bit of a moonwalkin' two-step to come up with a (not-so-suitable) answer.  There is no proof so it's her word against his.  Period. (Who's bribed what judge would be my next question, but we are dealing with a pair of supposedly college-educated celluloid numbnuts so why bother?)   Nata insists numerous mysteries are abounding that he's preventing from coming to light.

Princess Juju was unable to join us, so here is little bit of this and that from last night.

--Chole reads Olga the riot act.   If she hears that she is bothering Natalia, she is out.

--Chente thought that Granny Magos was delirious from the anesthesia talking about a novio. She tells him that Heliiodoro  ended up being the joy of her mornings and her nights . . . those nights! Chente is visibly uncomfortable and says she doesn't have to say anymore.  She makes it clear that she is not going to be pulling any old man's oxygen tank for him. Since Heliodoro  is younger,  Chente is worried he could be taking advantage of her. No way! She likes her men strong and vigorous so they can keep up with her. Chente is worried about his intentions. Granny Magos doesn't take too kindly to that and wonders who asked him for his opinion anyway??? or his permission???  

--Granny Magos has Heliodoro running a mystery errand. It involves him having brought her some papers from her home. She is going to get together with him tomorrow to look them over and then she wants him to go back to their town and take care of business ASAP. It is urgent. 

--Chente is still all shook up having dreams and nightmares about Natalia.  

--Vale invites Mario to spend the night. He refuses saying he wants to take things more slowly.

 Hey,  JudyB,  looks like it could be another exciting episode tonight.  We have some Valencia orange infused tequila for your drinking pleasure with some nachos. Save me a seat!

1. Chente agrees that he is the biggest imbecile of all  because he has no idea how any of this happened. He begs for one more chance to show that he didn't do it but Natalia refuses. He would never want to hurt her or Olga. Olga  has been through so much. Natalia has a hard time containing  her anger and sarcastically agrees: "Yes, Poor Olga." Natalia then admits she feels sorry for Olga knowing everything she has done just to get a crumb of Chente's attention. Chente insists he would never hurt Natalia on purpose. She tells him he is worse than Adrián. She will never forgive him. He did the same thing to her that Adrián did after knowing how Adrián cheated on her. He tries to touch her as he begs to be forgiven again. She removes his hands and tells him not to touch her. She informs him that he has lost her forever. She knows who she is, what she is worth and she has her dignity.  She does not deserve to spend her life with another miserable man like him. His cheating hurts her so deeply but his lies insult her!! 

2. Tere asks Chole if she thinks she can solve things with Tavo. Chole says she thinks not because of how  he offended her and treated her as if she was the worst woman of them all. Tere believes in miracles and thought that Tavo would have been happy finding out she was pregnant. Chole plans on proving that the baby is Tavo's and then she will prevent him from returning to her life. She tells Tere she cannot imagine the horrible things that he said to her doubting  her and her love. He is sure she slept with somebody else and so he rejected their child. Julián Reus the caterer walks in the door looking for Natalia. Tere says she is her daughter and introduces herself. There seems to be some attraction. Tere directs him to the kitchen to find Natalia.

⦁ Viewerville is barely able to watch as Olga whispers her intentions into the sleeping Vicente's ears: she's going to convince him that this child of hers is really his and not that of either Simba or Adrian.  (Oh woe is we....)

⦁ Chole is shocked...shocked...to hear that Natalia caught La Vulga de  Olga in bed with Chente doing the down and dirty and telling the vulgar wench that he luuuhhhhvvvved her, and that she drove him crazy.  Even though Chole swears that in all this time Chente never responded to a single one of her attempts to seduce him.  Nata remembers that when she first came to the neighborhood Vulga constantly complained to Nata about getting close to Chente as if she and he had something together before she entered the picture.  She tells Chole it's useless to deny it any longer.  He is actually worse than Adrian because he knew what she'd been through and he took advantage of her knowing all this.  Chole insists there has to be some explanation.  Nata says that Adi already explained but she refused to believe it: Vulga confessed to him that she and Chente had an affair while he was married to Lucia; Chente had made all sorts of promises to her.  Chole says that's all a total lie.  She wasn't blind; she saw what she saw and it's apparent that they've been together for a long while.

WARNING:  JudyB, and everyone else. You better fasten your seatbelts for tonight's episode or at least parts of it. I had them installed on all of the patio chairs for tonight. I also found a supply of "air sickness bags" behind the grill to use as needed. We have extra beanies if you forgot yours. There will be light snacks and  beverages available but no mezcal tonight. ANY section marked with any number of asterisks will indicate it is a particularly troubling scene  for which you might want to fasten your seatbelt. The more asterisks, the more disturbing the scene.   ; )

This episode takes place during one day: the day that Natalia continues her work on and finishes her huge catering order that Chef Tellez got her. 

1. A very stressed Natalia comes home in a rush as everyone is working on the catering order. She explains that Chente is down at the municipal office where he was called to get some information on the running of the fonda. She reminds them that they need get moving because the next thing they have to do is make 150 servings of the matcha cake. They will have to work out of this kitchen and Chole's, too. She encourages them saying they will not give up. Andrea seems to have come around expressing her confidence in her mother and telling her what a super chef she is.
