Amores Verdaderos #103 Fri 4/5/13 The Curious Case of the Patient in Room 504 or Room 503 or Room 504 or Room 503.....

Sorry this is late.  I also didn't edit it.  I'm posting it, but I'm making corrections right now. 


Hospital Lobby:  Arriaga and Tomasina are worried about Victoria.  Arriaga swears that he will personally watch Victoria’s body from now on.  He will never leave her side again. 

Arriaga Penthouse:  Hung over, Disney Princess Lilly tells her mother about getting blasted out of her mind, picking up a stranger and almost screwing him his car.  Just the thing a mother wants to hear.  Christina tells Lilly to wait for Prince Charming.  Your first time should be with someone who loves you and you love him.  Christina fondly recounts her first time with Arriaga.  Great…just what a daughter wants to hear….stories about the first time her parents had sex. 

Hospital Lobby:  Nikki asks about her mother.  Tomasina says that she’s doing better.  Nikki asks about Roy.  Arriaga says that he hasn’t seen him.  Nelson tells Arriaga to butt out.  He wants to know if Arriaga stayed there all night.  Tomasina lies and says that Arriaga just arrived.  The doctor has good news for the family.  Victoria is awake and excited to see her family.  Although, the wound is draining properly, they will keep her in observation.  Arriaga shoves pregnant women, the elderly and sick children out of his way and frantically rushes towards his love’s hospital room.  His effort is halted when Nelson’s calls him back.  Arriaga is simply an employee; he is not family.  Nelson orders Arriga to stay in the lobby.  Guzman, tells Arriaga to calm down.  Arriaga declares that he’s tired of Nelson berating him and he’s not going to put up with it any more.

PEAM #20: 4/5/13-Chucho is the Life of the Partay; The Brothers Dimm Can't Win



 

We start this epi with Chucho taking little Valentina with her little pumpkin and the nurse in tow, going trick or treating.

Chucho is back in his 'hood and sees a crowd in front of the apartment building with a cop out in front. Chucho asks what is going on and he is informed there was a burglery in one of the apartments. Chucho asks which and is informed of the number and Chucho realizes it was his apartment and is allowed to enter. He meets Chatita and they go together and there is another cop outside the apartment. Chucho tells the cop it's his apartment. The cop thinks Chucho must have been cleaned out cause there is hardly anything in there. Chucho tells the cop he doesn't have much. Now he wants Chucho's name. Chucho gives his name, but it doesn't match the ownership of the apartment, Ruh, Roh. The cop thinks he is lying. Chatita is trying very hard to explain to the cop that this is indeed Chucho's apartment and he tries to tell her to be quiet. Finally, Chatita butts in and gives him the apartment owner's name, she has finally remembered his name is (Ed Note: Since I have no captions of any kind I am going to give the gentleman's name as I heard it) Pablo Avellos, but I heard it wrong, thanks to Pablo and Julie the guy's name is Pedro Davalos. Thanks Pablo and Julie.  The cop is satisfied with this info and Chucho is allowed into the apartment.

Amor Bravío #162 (Uni 157) Fri 4/5/13 Di-Day Arrives and We All Get a Wedding-Day Surprise


P.1
Capítulo 162 

Lo del Pasado:

Hipolito and the rest of the MI B-team have successfully purloined Dionisio’s “portafolios” [briefcase] and gotten it safely to Camila and the others waiting at Osvaldo Becerra's office.  Hipo has forced it open with his knife and Cami’s finally gotten a chance to peer inside.

Lo del Nuevo:

And…as Viewerville holds its breath with great angst, the result is that...IT’S EMPTY!!!  (Ok. Did we honestly expect it to be anything but this early into the final episodios?????  Those writers did it to us again!  Darn ‘em!)  Cam is ready to pull her hair out.  Mariano grabs the knife from Hipo and starts tearing along the edges of the briefcase to see if there are any hidden pockets or false bottoms, but again there’s nothing to be found.  Hipo has a thought.  He mentions that while they were searching Dio’s office, he spied a group of documents on his desk and a locked drawer.  (It would have been too much to ask for him to have thought on his feet and grabbed those papers and possibly jiggled the desk open at the same time, right? I suppose that would have broken telenovela rules regarding the inability of the good guys to contemplate more than their navels in tight spots.)   “--Perhaps that’s where he’s put them now?”  Well, yeah, but she needed the stuff today!  Cam groans in despair.

Mariano, even slower on the uptake than usual, suggests negotiating with Dio.  As if, Cami answers.  “--He doesn’t negotiate and if he would I’d have done it already.”  Hipo suggests breaking into Dio’s house today while he and his bodyguards are all at the wedding.  It just so happens (coinkidinkilly) that Hipo’s uncles owned a locksmith’s shop when he was a kid and he picked up a few tricks of the trade from them, not that he ever did anything illegit because of it.  How will he go about it, Cam asks?  He’d do just what those thieves do to others--and just as easily—break in and take what’s wanted. 

Cami isn’t comfortable doing something illegal.  Hipo tries reasoning with her. “--It’s all for the greater good, right?  It’s for your mother’sfreedom!!”  Mariano and Osvaldo both agree that in this kind of circumstance they’d do exactly the same thing Hipo’s suggesting.  Cam reluctantly agrees then and reminds him to be extremely careful cuz this is one dangerous dude.  (No duh!)  He’ll get what she needs, no problem, he assures her.  She thinks to herself that he’d better find those passports, cuz if not she’ll have to go to bed with that slimeball and break her non-promise to Mama.

Amor Bravío #161 (Uni 156) Thu 4/4/13 Amor Engañoso


Vivi and Rafa are surprised and sad that Aaron is leaving so soon.  Even Roman is sad.  Daniel might be sad, but since his face is one giant bruise, it's hard to tell.  He thanks Aaron again for impersonating him.  Aaron sweetly says "When I got here I had one brother, and now I'm leaving with two and a nephew and a sister-in-law and a bunch of friends and that makes me really happy." Dude, Aaron is such a nice guy, he really deserves that.  But, come on, writers…a girlfriend?  Would that be too much to ask?  Roman refers to Rafa as his dad, saying it's too bad everyone's skipping out on his dad's book party.  Roman says he's already thinking of Rafa as his dad and Vivi as his mom.  Slow-mo happy family moment.


 Piedad and Dorotea come to Camila's cabin where she brusquely informs Piedad that they have an appointment with an oncologist in half an hour.  Piedad doesn't appreciate Dorotea burdening Camila when she already has so much going on. Camila explains an oncologist is a cancer specialist and she needs to have the lumps checked out.  There's a big musical crash every time someone says "cancer."  Dorotea promises to keep where Piedad and Camila have gone a secret so no one gets worried.


 Luzma has cooked up some new scheme to push Mayalen into Pablo's arms.  Mayalen still doesn't think it will work, but she understands why Luzma doesn't want Pablo left alone. Pablo catches them hugging and is suspicious, but Luzma pretends it was just a goodbye hug.  Mayalen won't tell Pablo what they were talking about, so she just says Luzma was feeling a little sensitive.

PEAM # 19- I Just Love It When You Speak to Me Forcefully and This is What Happens to Your Body if You Smoke

Happy Thursday, the weekend is almost here.

We begin with Pati and Alma talking about how suddenly status doesn’t matter to Pati.  He is just a simple, respectable man.  He is some chupazo !!!! The woman who has him is a lucky woman. 
Xochy puts 2 +2 together and asks Chucho if he is in love with Alma.  He tries to dismiss it but Xochy is not falling for any excuses.  He says that she is his guardian angel, trying to keep it platonic but Xochy is buying it for now.  Alma is getting ready to be married, she’s classy (hecha and derecha) and he respects and admires her and as Xochy gets closer, his phone rings.

Uptight Vero is yelling on the other end of the phone, like nails on a chalkboard. She is screeching about Valentina being on a public bus, germ city and with a dog!!!  How imprudent and irresponsible is he????? She prepared a looong list for him to follow.  Why was Valentina sleeping with his girlfriend, Chatita?  Chucho was trying to explain, and she continued screeching about Valentina being late to school. On a bus with bacteria and infections, blah, blah, blah.  A thief came into the house, what type of neighborhood do you live in, etc. etc.  He threatened to hang up and then Chucho straightened up his back and read her the riot act. Valentina is a child, like it or not his child too, let her enjoy life and live without so many rules. Stop putting absurd things into her head. Two men were in the elevator, one was smoking, the smoke was bothering Jesus. He hung up on her and she had an orgasmic look on face!!!!! Jesus let the smoking man have it too; smoking in such a small space and Baldomero introduced Maximo Valtierra, President of Orion Corporation.  Another blunder.
Valentina, with her little adorable self, overheard the conversation and told her mother that she spoke badly to her father.  Val walked away and Vero finally showed some human feelings. 
Iron fisted Vero, was totally turned on by Chucho’s aggressive attitude towards her. 
Maximo walked in smoking, which bothered Alma, but according to Rogue he owns half of Monterrey so he can do what he wants. He had the nerve to say that it smells funny and Rogue explained that there was little fire.  How could he smell anything?

Frisky Fern (and I preferred him without his pants) kept calling Chucho, waiting for his clothes and Chucho asked Balmero, his friend from the elevator if he could have his suit.  Pati, the Octopus strutted into the office and proceeded to prop herself on Chucho’s desk. She had a wonderful plan for him for tonight.

Maximo, still with the cigarette hanging form his mouth and noticeably bothering Alma and Rogue discussed his proposal.  Alma asked him to please stop smoking and he obliged. 
Pati invited Chucho to a fundraiser. He will be her date.  Chucho declined, its not appropriate.  (Money can’t buy class)
Pati wouldn’t take no for an answer and she embellished the story saying that Alma didn’t mind, he would be helping the children, yada, yada. Pati the Octopus was all over Chucho, so he jokingly said I’m a 42 large.
Max, still with the cigarette hanging out of  his mouth but unlit, confirmed that he would be at the fundraiser tonight.  Fern was bending over and his pants ripped and Max got a kick out of that.

Valentina is on her computer getting ready to skype her dad.  The nanny was impressed.  She was worried about her mother’s reaction to her visit with her dad, but Chucho insisted that she tell the truth and that’s all that matters.    They will communicate through skype until the Ice Princess cools off.  The Fuchsia Club envied the little scene.  It was sweet!

The Brothers Dimm were complaining about Fern’s clothes.

Susana was looking at lungs and lips that have been damaged by smoking, and planning on sending them to her husband.  They were going to make captions- here is how you will look if you smoke.

Susanna had to email some documents to Max, she pressed send while Rogue was watching.  Baldomero was asking Chucho for his clothes.  He told Max that he spilled coffee on them.  Susana emailed the damaged lungs photos to Max instead of the documents.  He continued smoking as he read the papers and then appeared to have had a heart attack or stroke.  (This seemed to be a PSA about the dangers of smoking)

Susana was hyperventilating; Chucho was trying to calm her down.  Susana’s husband called and couldn’t speak to him.  Chucho tried to call Max but he was not answering his cell.  Susana was worried about the affects of her mistake.  Chucho will make it right and he will take responsibility.

Rogue announced that he will be married in a month and he is installing all of the Fuchsia Club to help.  It should be the most unforgettable weeding ever held.

Chucho, thought bubbled to the kiss last night and that Alma will marry Rogue in one month.   Fern is still whining about his suit, because it was too small.  He was humiliated in front of the most important man in Monterrey. He shows the Human Resources Director.

Jesus, asks Alma to sign some documents for him, and makes small talk about the upcoming wedding, that will be here before you know it.  Jesus offers to help in any way and of course Alma refuses.
She has Jesus confirm the date with the church.

Fern calls Jesus, trying to find out who is the owner of the pants.   Jesus tells Fern that they belong to Max’s bodyguard.  Fern is waiting for his dry suit and Jesus finds the suit on the ground of the warehouse.  Fern is taking out of Jesus’ pay the cost of suit and the other debacle (which wasn’t Jesus’ fault) with the sandwich. By payday, Jesus may owe Avon.
Xochy fixed Baldemero’s pants.  Jesus thinks about his small check on payday.
Susana finds out on transistor radio ( did I just type the word, transistor, who uses a transistor, there's no hurricane) that Max had a heart attack.  He was looking at some pictures on his computer that were sent from Rogue at Avon. 

Jesus explained to Alma about the photo mix up.  The photos were intended for Susana’s husband and not Maximo Valtierra.  Jesus took the blame for Max’s heart attack but Alma said that the photos had nothing to do with the heart attack.  The man smoked too much. 

Elias the Wonderful greets Valentina and notes that she is worried. Val explains that The Ice Princess is upset because Papa Jesus took her to school late.  Val had a ball with her dad.  Elias will chip away at the Ice Princess so that she will be able to see her Papa Jesus-it’s a Mission Impossible.

Baldomero explains to Jesus what happened with Maximo.  Max is going to live!!!!
Jesus gets to see Valentina dressed as a fairy princess, but Vero cannot be told, the nanny helped to keep the secret.  Jesus gave her a bag of candy, which we know is like having illegal drugs in The Ice Princess’ home.  Jesus goes home and sees the police at the building.  He was worried about Chatita. He finds out that his apartment was robbed but according to Chatita they didn’t take anything.    The officer thought that the apartment was emptied out except for a little bit of furniture.  Jesus has to prove, that he is renting/owns the apartment or why he is living there, uh oh.

Coming attractions- Pati, the Octopus is jealous, the Brothers Dimm are upset at the fundraiser because Jesus came and Alma looks exquisite.

Tonight, as the Balvanera clan and their groupies huddle in the hospital, we learn that an ICU is a perfect incubator not just for infection, but also for truth.

At the police station

At the auto graveyard
When the junkyard gang hears the wail of the sirens, el Talibán pushes Kendra away roughly.  Her body crashes into a car and then tumbles to the ground. [Methinks she won't salir con la Mia.] Meanwhile el T and the guy on the moto try to speed away.  When the cops cut off their escape route, they try to flee on foot.  There is a hail of gunfire.  Both bad guys end up dead.  Kendra is running around with a bag of loot, scurrying over cars like a cockroach.  She seems to have eluded the cops.  For the moment.

In Aníbal's room
The old man wrests his nitro from the odious Odette.  She continues to needle him about Victoria.  He decides to take her up on her offer -- he will go to the clinic with her and find out the truth.

Amores Verdaderos #100 Tue 4/2/13 Hissy Fits for Everyone

Amores Verdaderos, 4/2/13, Cap 100—Hissy Fits for Everyone

A brief recap plus screencaps for your edification. First, a preview screencap:

Jean Marie and Polita pray to the Virgencita on behalf of Victoria.

EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER:

* We are treated with a scene with Chris's mom, Candalaria, who is being urged by her priest to visit her family already. Don't let the guilt and shadows of the past keep her away. She agrees to do so. We know that something will come of this, don't we?

Candy will go see her family, after many years of avoidance and guilt.

* Thomasina returns to work without ever knowing that her would-be galán was a bad guy. As she's approaching the service entrance, she discovers a fallen Victoria, has a hissy-fit, which fortunately includes her asking for an ambulance right away. (I give credit that the characters in this show did think to do that before too long—it's not typical for TNs!)

Amor Bravío #158 (Uni 153) Mon 4/1/13




Capitulo 158:   Fortress, Fraud, Fear, and Fight

Lo del pasado

Luzma faints at the news that her perverted uncle is possibly on the property.  Camila sends Rodolfo to mobilize the men with orders to shoot if necessary.  Natalia goes to talk to Aaron.  Leoncerdo realizes he is at serious risk of being caught by the trusty vaqueros at La Malquerido and decides to hightail it to La Buenaventura.

Lo de nuevo

La Malquerida, Parlour:  Luzma is distraught. Camila gives her a pill and some water. Pablo suggests she go upstairs to her room. The others talk about the police being out looking for El Perver-tio. Dorotea goes to the kitchen to prepare tea as Pablo and Piedad escort Luzma upstairs. Camila, Osvaldo, and Mariano talk about the Great Escape and its possible motive. Mariano speculates that the motive was revenge on those whose testimony put him in the carcel. That means not only Luzma, Piedad, and Pablo but Daniel. Mariano remembers that Leoncerdo accused Hissadora of cutting out his tongue, so he takes out his cell phone to call home. As he calls Iagho, Osvaldo asks Camila what El Diablo came for.

Amores Verdaderos #99 Mon 4/1/13 Espanto...(inepto)... you better change career paths... how about registering in a plumber's or electrician's school? poor Vicky, she made her bed(decision), now she has to sleep in it(live or die with the consequences)...

here is first section...

Refritis:


Nik-ita and Goril-ita finish the kiss and then begin a game of ‘didn’t feel anything, don’t need you but you need me, am better off without you’ back and forth debate. Angel is nearby so Nik-ita calls him to come over, he plays the ‘don’t know anything, I am blind/deaf/mute’ disclaimer…

Funniest moment of scene is the end when Nik-ita says ‘lets go Guzman… I mean… Arriaga…’

At B house, JM is fixing Lilly a chocolate cake with berries… Tomasina says Vicky also has a surprise present for Lilly. Phone rings. [ok, have to stop the reel here, the kitchen has its own phone number for the servicio? Polita answers ‘Bueno!’ not an expected ‘Casa Balbanera, Buenos dias… etc etc’… so they must have their own line. ] Polita tells Tomasina it is ‘Cuicarlo Bonaparte’ (LOL!)… Tomasina and Kendra’s thug Inepto (I mean… Espanto) a.k.a. water rabbit… (reading a book on ‘chinese horoscope, year of the snake’, LOL!) talks to his ‘fire goat’, wants to meet her tomorrow

Lo Nuevo…

Tomasina agrees to new ‘date’…these two sound like highschoolers on phone with each other, her playing hard to get, both saying they are a bit distracted). After hanging up, Inepto tells KenDrat ‘she fell hook, line and sinker…’

Guzmanc-ito and Bea talk about Guzman warming up to Dances, Dances explained about the ring he is wearing, even accepted him calling me ‘future BIL’. She is very grateful… they have a real nice sibling love moment.

Yikes! Anyballs announces to Nik-ita that she and Roy can take over his NYC apartment, from there they can travel anywhere Roy needs to for his tournaments. But Anyballs wants to speak to Roy first. Nik-ita wants to know what about. Anyballs says he wants to make sure Roy treats her as she deserves (that is up to the eye of the beholder, isn’t it?), so if he needs to give Roy a booster kick (support/sponsorship) for his career, then he will.

PEAM #16, 4/1/2013 – This Kiss, This Kiss, It’s Perpetual Bliss, but it’s not What’s Criminal


Chatita gets a sweet kiss from Chucho when she agrees to guard Valentina while he takes care of a problem.  He calls Almita to tell her he has been thinking he is sure it was Fernando who is behind the disappearance of Sanson.  Said slime dog, Fernando is meanwhile trying to break into Chucho’s apartment first ruining his credit card.  The sharp eared Valentine hears him and grabs the money she had played with putting it back in the little black satchel it came in.  Sin-stained Fernando tries to use another tool like an a useless allen wrench. Good thing he is completely ineffective at virtually everything, Valentina doesn’t seem to see him trying to break in but after shrugging off the strange sounds, continues to play bank with her play money.  Chatita dreams on in the chair.  Fernando as inept as he is, eventually breaks through the door.  Only Valentina is guarding the house, the treasure, and the sleeping Chatita.  Alma and Chucho drive around.  She totally believes him that Fernando is the culprit but to further his argument, Chucho asks if Fernando has a dog.  NO, she says, well, he continues, there was a barking dog in his apartment this afternoon when he called the office.  Ever the planner, Chucho has papers that he uses to greet the desk staff explaining that he has papers with matters of life and death he must get to Don Fernando.  So he convinces them that he must only slip them under the door.  They joke about his other secretary being there.  Chucho thus forewarned greets a stunned Jessica right after the clever Sanson has torn up the apartment, escaped from the bathroom and eventually escapes into the hall way.  An unsuspecting neighbor lets Sanson into the stairwell and off he goes in his determined little way.

PEAM # 15: 3/29/13- Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone, Oh Where, Oh Where Can He Be?

 

We start this epi with Chucho being demoted and the ransom demand of 50 thou for Sanson.

Jess is on the phone with Fern talking about Sanson and Ricardo, one of the three Sillies is hiding behind the wall partion, and he is all ears. Fern tells Jess she is only getting 5 % of that ransom and she so isn't happy with that. Their ultimate objective is to get Chucho fired of course! Jess wants her job back, of course. Sanson is barking, he is still in his prison, the bathroom of course, so Fern goes to quiet him and Sanson runs out. HA! Sanson is tearing up the sofa and the shoes and whatever his little mouthy pooh can get ahold of. Probrecito! Sanson that is, not Fern.

The Secretaries are all gathered, and Tablet Jefe is right, noone, but noone ever works, and they are talking about Sanson too. They decide to say a little prayer for the little pooch for his safe return. Awww.

Rog has gone to the storage in his house. He has determined he will use the "package" moola for the ransom to be paid for Sanson. He has a coniption fit when he sees the dresser is gone. Ruh Roh, he thinks he's been robbed! Later, he mentions the possible theft to his maid, and she informs him that in fact, Chucho now has the dresser, double Ruh Roh, cause if looks could kill, Chucho would be dead!

Amor Bravío #157 (Uni 152) Fri 3/29/13 Indecent Proposal Or Step-Daddy Dio's Improper Papa-sition

Cap. 157 - Parte 1


Lo Del Pasado:

The Scoobies sans Aaron share an uncomfortable momento when Mariano, arriving at Viviana and Rafael’s house to pick up Ana and Camila, discovers that Daniel got there first.  He starts to butt heads with Dan (no need to pardon the pun) till Dan offers to leave and makes his exit.  Mar chases Dan out to the street as he heads for his car and starts giving him grief about not keeping his word to leave Cam alone—or, more likely, for himself—and to take better care of the wifey who’s probably been pining away the lonely hours at home.

Lo Del Nuevo:

It’s not just Camila that Daniel’s jerking around, gripes Mar, but Miriam!  “—You’re upsetting her greatly with your attitude!”  (Wrong family, isn’t it Mar?  You’re somebody else’s big brother.)  Dan has finally had enough of Mariano getting in his face and is all like, ‘Excuuuuuuuuzzze me, but what’s it to you, dude?’  “—I can understand your preoccupation with Camila, but Miriam?  She’s my problem, not yours!”  Mar says she’s been so great to him and Ana so he’s entitled.   (Let me get this straight.  A couple of cups of coffee, a few coos from Aggie, and some baking lessons while babysitting for Ana is all it takes for Mariano feel he’s family?  Go figure.)  Cam and Ana appear then and Dan finally gets a chance to make his exit.  

In the kitchen at La Malquerida, meanwhile, a tearful Piedad gets the empty nester talk from Hipolito.  Luzma’s got to finally fly on her own and Pie’s got to let her.  It’s time, yadda, yadda, yadda.  Pablo accidentally overhears that Luz is leaving the rancho and panics.  He flies upstairs and panics again when he doesn’t find her there.  He then races out to look for her somewhere on the grounds.

(Anibal’s) Allotta Ballsvanera Bedroom Gilda the B/Sn/W/itch (there was no gun to her head) betrays her "friend" by telling Don Anibal that Paula is Guzman’s mother.  Anibal’s pride takes a heavy blow when he learns that he is not irresistible to Paula.

Amor Bravío #156 (Uni 151) Thu 3/28/13 Amor Aburrido


I think Leo being carried out like the garbage he is actually refrito from yesterday, but Mr. 5ft was walking through the living room when it aired tonight, so I wanted to share with those of you who are concerned about his general well being (and especially his snarky comments) that he finds it unfortunate that it wasn't one of those trash-compacting garbage trucks.

Daniel is surprised that Camila backs Mariano up in asking him not to be at the meeting with Dio.  He agrees, pouts, and tells Camila she can always count on him.  Mariano apologizes to Camila for running Dan off, but they agree it was necessary.

Natalia tells Luzma, in confidence, that Yago was only marrying her because her daddy threatened to kill him and gave him lots of money.  She feels incredibly stupid for believing that vile delinquent!  Luzma is now playing the "but he loves you!" tune.  Well, Natalia now knows that Dio is only being affectionate to hurt her mother. She's pissed that both her dad and Yago are such filthy rats.  Natalia is ready to get revenge now.  She'll tell her plan to Luzma, but only if she swears not to tell.  "They'll regret messing with me!"

Amor Bravío #155 (Uni 150) Wed 3/27/13 "Nat Now Knows, Yago is Yucky as Ever and Other News de Aculco"


Dell,
Mena here, and I am back again burning the midnight oil.  Hold the page for me again, okay?  Viewerville has lots to say about life in Aculco and then some  ……. especially since these are the last capitulos of this story.  Your job is to keep the comment board open, that’s it, nada mas.
Mena



Mena,
Sure, no problem……. Dum dee um dee dummmmm…  Hmmm, no harm in an aside …..   Maja tweeted – she wants a word with the mistress, pronto.  She wants her spot on the big pillow on the bed seeing as the big guy isn’t hogging it anymore……. Dum dee um dee dummmmm……..  Tweet to the writers- she wants them to lose the cute baby actress.  Dog’s don’t require union rates.
Dell





The Husband House that Daddy Dio Bought:  Nutty Nat stands in the shadows of the house listening to Yucky Yago and Dio discuss the contract that Yago is being forced to sign.  Yucky Yago is not sure why he needs to sign this agreement.  Dio explains that in the event that there is a mutually agreed upon amendment to their contract divorce between said subcontractor  Yago and his project  Nat,  Yago will give everything that he gained in the marriage  back, including the gigantic hideous watch he now sports.  Not only that, but Yago will be obligated to provide part of his future earnings back to Nat and the bebe.  

Office of the El Orphanage: Viv and Rafa are leaving the office talking to Aaron.  They explain that they have to wait for all efforts to find any other family of Roman’s to be exhausted.   Roman overhears and asks them if they are really going to adopt him.    They explain to Roman that it is not automatic, that a judge will have to decide if they can adopt him.  They also tell him that the officials have to be sure to check that there are no other families that would be better ones to adopt him and that he doesn’t have any bio family that would claim him.  Roman doesn’t understand and is impatient with what is sure to be an excruciatingly long process in his mind [viewerville is in full agreement with Roman].    He offers to talk to the judge himself.  Aaron tells Roman to have patience and Viv reassures Roman to look forward to the future and not worry.

Casita de Dan and Miriam (including Caridad and Agatha and any Other Number of Drop-Ins):  Ana and Miriam and Agatha are  baking cookies and sharing warmies and smiles with ever- present Caridad somewhere on the sidelines.   Dan has arrived and Ana asks Dan to take a photo of the four of them.  Agatha conveniently needs a diaper change and Caridad and Ana excuse themselves to handle poopie duty.  Alone together, Dan is explaining, again, about being late.  This time the reason is  because Agustina was recently transferred from el pokito to El Pokote.  Lucky for him this is sufficiently bad news  and Miriam focuses on the news rather than Dan’s lame excuse again.  Dan asks when Mariano is coming to take his kid home so that he and Miriam can go to the doctor appointment.  Miriam tells him that the appointment was cancelled because the doctor went on vacation.  QTH?  Dan insists that Miriam needs a second opinion – that she cannot return to Chile without it.  She disagrees etc.   Dante arrives to interrupt the back-and-forth.  He  gives Dan the bad news that the audiotape cannot be cleaned up by the local IT team and that they need to send the tape to the big city for work.

The Husband House that Daddy Dio Bought:  Dio is pleased that Yago has been following his orders like a good stooge.  But, Yago has still not come through on one of the requirements to stay present on this planet.  That is, he has not delivered Natty to Daddy by way of showing her complete devotion to him while abandoning her mamita Amanda.  Yago complains that no matter what he does, nothing has completely worked.  Dio is insistent that Nat really feels something for him wayyyyy deep down inside.  Yago’s brain springs a synapse and he wonders aloud to Dio that if Dio is such a devoted and caring father, why is he forcing someone to marry Nat against his will?  All things have a reason says Dio, attempting to be the teller of all things wise.  He explains to Yago that many years ago Amanda abandoned him and NO MUJER ever makes him look bad! Nunca!  Therefore, he is getting revenge on Amanda by robbing her of  what she cares most deeply about, the affections and loyalty of her daughter, Nat.  Nat has overheard enough as her eyelids can  expand no further without ripping at the seams and she sneaks out the way she came in.  She sprints down the stairs and across the lawn.

Pastures of La MQ:  Pablo and Rodolfo moon about not being among the happy couples Eleuterio and Dorotea and Piedad and Hipolito.

Casita del Dan and Miriam:  Dan vents frustration to Miriam and Dante that Isa and Dio still have no evidence against them that would put them in jail once and for all.  Dadnabit @#$$! Dan hates leaving La MQ (translation: Camila) with all this unsettled biz.  He assures Miriam (who of course inquires if this will keep them from returning to Chile) that they will still be returning to Chile.  Nonetheless, he is PO’d that his sacrifice has been for nothing. What sacrifice, asks Miriam?  Dante quickly adds, why the sacrifice of  nearly dying and drowning on his way to Mexico  [Viewerville suspects Dan refers to the giving up Camila sacrifice which will remain a secret from Miriam for now].  Miriam tries to calm him by telling him that Abe and Gaston will be working from Chile to do what they can to catch the bad guys in Mexico.  Dan huffs off and she worries to Dante about Dan’s attitude – that it seems as though he is being forced to go back to Chile (along with being forced to resume his husbandly duties) and she doesn’t like it one single bit.

The Big House:  Agustina is checked in with prints and pics and is left purpleless.  She has a new cellmate, Carmela.  Carmela welcomes Agustina saying that if she acts right and does what Carmela tells her to do, all will be well.  If she doesn’t, well, life will be hell.

Courtyard of La MQ:  The happy rancheros, Pablo and New Girl give a hurrah to the new bulls that have arrived.  Camila and Luzma walk up and Camila gives them the bad news that Agustina has been moved to The Big House.  Camila’s phone rings with seriously disillusioned Nat on the other side.  Nat is calling to offer her help to gather evidence against  Deceptive Daddy Dio.   Scene switches to Nat on the lawn of the house that Daddy bought as she hangs up with Camila.  Behind her she hears a voice!  She freezes – no puede ser!  She turns to see Dio standing at the top of the stairs asking what she is doing there.  Thinking on her well-balanced wedgies (finally) she tells Daddy Dio she was just coming to meet with Curtain Lady.   She smartly turns the table to ask them what they are doing there, hmmm? Ummm, well, the pair come up with some lame story about fixing up a surprise for Nat.  Daddy Dio wanted to take the opportunity of their upcoming honeymoon to load their house up with specially picked furniture.  Guau!  Thanks Daddy, she smartly says, going along with the story.  She tells him she loves surprises with a wink and a nod to viewerville.  Yes, thanks, Don Dio says Yago.  Nah, it is Dio’s pleasure to please the light of his eyes, Nat.  Oh, and no need to call me Don Dio, he tells Yago,  I am your father-in-law, after all.

Courtyard of La MQ:  Everyone is happy to learn that Nat is on the side of the good guys and will help them get Dio’s briefcase.  Camila also informs them that they must be careful while they plot against the bad guys.  She also informs  them that Dio will be visiting the ranch after dinner to talk to her.  Los rancheros  vow to punch his lights out if he tries anything.  Piedad tells Camila that she is praying to the Virgincita for a milagro.  If that fails,  maybe She will divinely deliver a bed for Dio and Isa in a concrete slab courtesy of the frustrated tourist site developers.

The Big House:  Agustina continues to get acquainted with Carmela.  Agustina confides that the experience of jail is horrible for her while Carmela asks if she expected it to be a castle.   Agustina claims she is innocent.  That is what everyone says, Carmela tells her.  No really, Agustina insists that she was a dope who was duped by her husband and when she became a detriment to him, he turned her in for fraud.   But of course, that’s men for you, Carmela exclaims in solidarity with Agustina.  Carmela tells her of her own story of betrayal by a man.   She says that one day she discovered her man was abusing their daughter and when she threatened to turn him in, he pulled a pistol on her.  Well, she decided it was him or it was us, and she decided to save us.  She shot him dead.  No regrets except for missing her daughter.

Courtyard of La MQ:  Hippo asks a favor of Los Rancheros.  He wants them to take care of Piedad and Luzma if anything happens to him in the plot to steal Dio’s briefcase.  Discussion ensues about this plan.
Kitchen of La MQ:  Luzma calls Dan to tell him that Nat has agreed to help in the plot against Dio.   She adds that after Camila and Mariano cenar, they are going to el hostal to talk to Nat about the plan.  WTQ?  Dan goes into jealous thought bubbles about Mariano and Camila spending time together.  He mentions his blood boils thinking about the two of them, even though he knows it is selfish.

Camila’s Cabana:  Trip down memory lane about Dan swearing they will never need to part, Agustina being led away in handcuffs and other tear-jerking scenes.

Botanica del Pueblo:  Isa buys some new magic herbs and she and the shopkeeper exchange recipes for a more potent brew that Isa can give Cayetano.  They decide it is better to add the magic herb drops to a hot toddy or something to strengthen its potency.  Isa leaves and receives a phone call from another random lawyer.  Isa informs him that she and her new husband want to update their will.  Random lawyer tells her that this is as easy as emailing a boilerplate form to her so she Cayetano can fill in the changes and all her his wishes and just send it right back for notarizing.

Courtyard of La MQ:  Pablo and Mariano walk and talk about Pablo’s troubled marriage and when she loves him and when she loves him not.  Pablo wonders about their future.  Cayetano shows up and gives them the good news that he has been to his real lawyer.  He informs them that his will now provides one fourth of the ranch to each son and his wife.  Pablo is happy to be included.  Mariano wonders if Pops did this because of what he told him about Isa’s sketchy plans.  No, says Pops, he just wants to do what is right and adds that Mariano need not worry that Isa is a gold-digger.  Isa, he tells the fellas, is in full agreement with this plan to share the ranch equally.   The words leave his mouth as Isa leaves town with magic herbs and a plot to do Cayetano in and take over the ranch in its entirety.  Isa has not learned to share.

Camila’s Cabana:  Camila talks to Viv on the party line.  Viv consoles her friend.  Camila asks how Viv is, btw.  Viv reluctantly fills her in on her good news that she and Rafa are working on adopting Roman.  Smiles and congrats. Something is going right for someone.

El Hostal:  Dante arrives and needs to talk to Teresa.  He tells her that he thinks they should try to have a relationship.  Teresa wonders about his love for Miriam.  Dante, who finally gets it, says that neither Miriam or Mariano love either of them so it is time to consider giving their new relationship a chance.  Teresa looks as though she is really considering this.  Viewerville has time to have a good look at Dante and approves wholeheartedly that this is a verrrryyyy gooood choice.

Dinner Table at Casita de Dan and Miriam:  Ana overhears Dan mention Miriam needing a doctor appointment and worries about Miriam.  Ana tells them that she remembers that her mom died as did the mother of one of her friends.  She has decided that no mom should die.  Miriam agrees, but tells Ana that sometimes, no matter what we wish, mothers or fathers or children die.  She reassures Ana that she does not plan to die.

El Hostal:  Nat returns home and arranges to meet with Camila later to help plot against Dio.  She tells her mamita that she has agreed to help the good guys.  Amanda acknowledges that this must be hard for her to do.  No worries says Nat, finally looking like she gets that Daddy Dio is not a swell after all.  She tells Amanda she loves her and rolls off to get to bed.

Jail for SubHuman Types:  Trash gathers trash to be deposited in the trash truck.

Dinner Table at El Rancho de BV:  Isa and Cayetano are having a nice family dinner with Yucky Yago.  They discuss the husband house that Dio bought. Cayetano tells Yago that someday he will have a piece of La BV to build his own house.  Yago is happy to hear this as he prefers to have something that is his own, not something that is a gift from his father-in-law.  Isa yanks mixes it up and adds that he will be happy to share his portion with Mariano, Pablo and her, in equal parts.  WTQ?!   Yucky Yago explodes upon hearing this.  He argues that Pablo isn’t even a full Albarran and Mariano has his own house already and wisely keeps his mouth shut about Isa’s portion.  Cayetano tells him he can do whatever the he@# he wants with his ranch.  Yucky Yago finishes with a temper tantrum and tells Cayetano he can keep his crumbs – he will go off and be an important rich man all on his own. So there!

El Hostal:  All gather for the powwow of good guys, everyone but Dan, that is.  Dan shows up to help plot against Dio. Mariano tells Dan he is not needed and to not interfere in Camila’s affairs any longer.  Dan looks crestfallen and looks at Camila.  She says nothing, suggesting she is complicit with Mariano’s  statement.

Jail for SubHuman Types:  Trash collects trash and throws it in the bin.  Trash climbs in after the trash and hides.  Trash waits for the scheduled trash truck pickup.  Trash is dumped into the trash truck and no one working at the jail is the wiser.  Trash thought bubbles to himself to an as yet unnamed mugrosa that is deserving of his revenge.  Trash takes a trip out of the jail to freedom.   Camera freezes the frame on the face of LeoSordido.

The old:

Soggy Paula opens her apartment door to Francisco while Adriana hides from view.

The new:

Paula's lament -- I did it for love!
Paula is disappointed when Frankie tells her he's there to talk about his father. Frankie can't stand to see Felipe getting excited about a reconciliation and then getting his hopes dashed.  Paula says it was a misunderstanding -- she meant no harm.  But since she has Francisco captive, she seizes the chance to sing her blubbery Song of Self-Pity.  By the end of it, Frankie says he feels sorry for her.  Yes!  That's what she wanted!  Because she is the Unhappiest Woman he has ever known!

EVENTS MAY NOT BE LISTED IN ORDER:

Kendra breaking the news to the Furry Fornicator that she has a bun in the oven.

PEAM, Tuesday 3/26/13 (#12): Idiots on Parade

Alt title: "All of the Other Reindeer"
(Doesn't that sound like a great name for a horror film about murderous reindeer-zombies? The prequel could be "Reindeer Games" and the third one would be "Reindeer III: Season of the Witch," followed by "Reindeer IV: Rudolph's Revenge" and "Dasher Strikes Again" and then Rob Zombie could do a revival... or maybe I am delirious from chocolate withdrawal.)

(Seriously, though, thank you Blue Lass for the reindeer moniker to describe Avon's peanut gallery.)

Alma knows perfectly well that Rogelio would never have picked out that ring on his own - he can't even remember her birthday, much less her sign or birthstone! But Chucho insists that Rogue really wanted her ring to have a "special meaning," and sure, okay, Chucho helped him with that, but that was all.

Alma doesn't seem convinced. She asks, did he call all of her "friends," too? Because Alma knows that that wasn't Rog's doing, either. If it had been Rog, then only his friends would have been there. (Chucho gives Susana the credit for the invitations.) Anyway, Alma says, Chucho and Pati are her only friends! (Let's take a moment to contemplate how very sad that would be. Wait, no... friends with Chucho? I have no sympathy!) Chucho says it's an honor.

Alma says she fell out of touch with her old friends from school because she was too busy with work and career. She muses that perhaps it wasn't such a good tradeoff. "I was all alone until I met you," she tells Chucho. "But this is a day to celebrate," he reminds the theoretically radiant bride-to-be.

Not content to pester Pati only at home, Fernando stalks her at the gym as well. He is campaigning to be her next boyfriend. "You shouldn't be all by your lonesome. We can become another power couple, like Rog and Alma." Pati says not so fast - who says her relationship with Rog is through? A lot can happen between him and Alma. She didn't stay at his house last night. Besides, Fernando's already dating some secretary. "You'll never sip the refreshing drink of water that is me," she taunts.

Just to make sure that Fern is thoroughly humiliated, Pati adds that he doesn't have nearly enough money to be worth of the likes of her. Fern finally gives up and leaves her alone. Then she remembers Rog calling to ask about "lo nuestro" (referring to her status as perpetual booty call) and is so irritated, she blurts out "imbécil!", offending an innocent passerby.

What this girl needs is some inspiration. Coincidentally, Jesus arrives with Alma.

Amor Bravío #154 (Uni 149) Tue 3/26/13 Gussie’s in cuffs, Hissie’s in a huff, and Nati’s heard ‘nuff!




Natalia has just had her blood test done and encourages a fraidy cat Yago to go get his.  He’s left behind his cell phone and kazam! She goes straight for it.  She sees Dionicio’s message to Yago setting up that appt w/Yago saying they’re gonna sign a contract – he’d better be there or else.  Yago returns and she quickly puts aside the phone.  Yago complains he was likely to faint from having his blood drawn.  The nurse tells Nati the results will be sent by email by tomorrow.  (eek!  What if Yago has an STD?).  Nati tries unsuccessfully to get him to come furniture shopping with her.  He explains he has an appt with a very important breeder.

Amores Verdaderos #94 Mon 3/25/13 She loves me, she loves me not... he loves me, he loves me not... i can't love her, i can't love him... i say lock them up together in a cell for 48 hrs

Odiosa and Anyballs on phone, she does not care about his health, it is too bad he did not die. She says a quick exit would be too easy for him. He deserves to keep on living to pay slowly for all the harm he has done.   (this woman has a grudge on Anyballs the size of Jupiter!) She hangs up with Anyballs. In comes her son Estefano and he is irate with her. She should not wish that (slow painful agony) on anyone. We learn from Stefano that she and Anyballs tried a relationship that did not work (it sounds more to me like SHE wanted the relationship but ANyballs dropped her like used goods)

At apartment, Bea and Dances with Guillo arrive to Paula and Cris. Cris takes Guillo away. Paula is very rude in a comment about Dances. Bea is upset that her mother treats Dances like this. Paula does not want Bea to suffer with such a violent guy like Dances. Bea denies Dances is any like Leonardo. Paula says you need therapy, you are repeating the pattern. Bea assures her she loves Dances and will marry him.

Vicky in her study writes ‘maybe it was a mistake, a misfire’. Tomasina comes to see her, says tomorrow she will meet with Opalina. What do you want me to ask her? … (seems Vicky would rather go with Tomasina)

Paula thinks to herself, won’t let my daughter make the same mistake again. She walks into Felipe waiting for her. He insists in them hanging together, she is not in mood for visitors. He is ok with that. She can still count on him for anything. He leaves, she looks back, rethinking his offer?.

At B kitchen, Polita, Gorilita and Angel are eating breakfast. JM standing by.

In comes angry Nil-son asking rudely about Vicky, then barks at Angel ‘is this the way you look after my wife?? (takes Angel’s plate off the table and even does it again when JM tried to return it, dragging JM into kitchen) You are irresponsible!!’ Nil-Son leaves mad, Angel is swallowing hard stopping himself from going after Nil-Son and slicing his tongue for JM to cook for dinner. (ok ,that was a bit graphic but FF idiot deserves it)

We rejoin the party scene at Rogue’s palatial home with Rogue snearing at the carne asada.  An inappropriate it seems guest, Fermin, reveals that he was invited by Chucho, much to Rogue’s disgusto he shows the guard his name on the list of invited guests.  But he further hovers around the roast beast, which turns out to be javelina.  The lip smacker further advises Rogue that he should have some better party food to go along with the javelina like chicharonnes and guacamole.  Another housewife in sweater type approaches Rogue who starts to ask who she, but then shrugs, don’t tell me, must be another Chucho invitee.

Chatita contends with Veronica who has to be told several times who she is, this is a good foil since Vero gives up trying to pry info out of her about who Alma the girlfriend is.

PEAM #10, 3/22/13: What Do They Make at Avon, Anyway?


They Make Plans:

Rogue wants to throw a big ol' surprise engagement party for Alma but naturally doesn't know a thing about her, including who her friends are or her taste in rings, so he delegates it all to Doña Susana. Jesús sees her consternation and offers to help. He cops Alma's address book from her phone which she accidentally left on his desk and goes off with Doña Su and a big wad of bills. What could possibly go wrong?

They Make Trouble:

Paty tries to get info about the party by buttering up Jesús. Gosh, Almita says you're one super sexy secre, didja know? He gets all goofy-face but still doesn't tell her anything. She flounces off.

They Make Promises:

The weedy little cab driver comes back for his reward, and of course Chucho's pockets are still empty. He promises him something tomorrow. Unless tomorrow's payday, this isn't looking good.

They Make Progress:

Xochi calls Jesús and asks him out for coffee; he distractedly agrees. The poor chica is over the moon. Maricela eavesdrops snottily.

They Make Memories:

Alma sees Jesús blissing out over his CD of Valentina pix and sits down to watch with him. She reassures him that it's not his fault he missed her early years, and anyway he'll be there for her from now on. Not every family is happy, she says wistfully. She confides that she would like children herself but is afraid of repeating the mistakes her own parents made.

They Make Excuses:

Vero asks to speak with Doctora Deliciosa after Valentina's session and tells her she is concerned about her child spending time in that Big Bra environment. The Doctora says she sounds jealous. Vero protests, protests, protests too much.

They Make Command Decisions:

Jesús overrides Doña Su's philosophy of "the bigger the rock, the bigger the love" and insists on a simple ring with turquoise, Alma's birthstone. It's wicked ugly, but he's the galán, so we know it will turn out all right -- after a maximum of six months of malentendidos.

They Make Wishes:

Vero calls Jesús and demands to meet his chesty girlfriend. What's her name, anyway? "Alma..." he says dreamily. Rut-Roh.

In Other News:

- The three sillies are preparing a memorable practical joke for "la nueva secretaria." Xochi is not on board, and even Susana hesitates.

- Fer suggests to Xochi that they forget all about the incident in the photocopy room. Ya think?

- Vero almost catches Elías sneaking junk food, which he hides in a houseplant. It should be noted that he looks at it with more passion than he looks at her.

- Rogue arrives home to find a rollicking party in progress on his patio, complete with a roasting pig and a tacky little bald guy who says, "Jesús invited me!" THERE WILL BE FALLOUT.

Amores Verdaderos #93 Fri 3/22/13 Big Boys Do Cry; An Unexpected Engagement

 

Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman. We have a really great epi this evening. We have secrets and lies all that is missing is the video tape, and we have a surprising development. So sit back with your Baileys , relax and join me on the Patio as I dish the latest on our myriad cast of characters.

We open this epi with Cris and the Angel in Angel's room talking about Angel quitting his job, Cris doesn't want that. Cris tells Angel he is her whole life and the kiss that wasn't really a kiss, just a forehead smooch and a cheeky smooch.

Next we have Guzmancito and Pau and she wants back in his life, but she is still dead to him. He can't forgive her for what she has done, Angel and Cris come in, but go right back out. Pau tries to get Guzmancito to understand, but he isn't having it and she goes, while our wonderful Guzmancito cries his tears and we on the Patio, especially Victoria from Texas, wants to wipe those tears off his face, *sigh*.

Amor Bravío #152 (Uni 147) Fri 3/22/13 The Truth About Dad or Daddy Dearest Rules The Roost…For Now


Capítulo 152 
Partes 1-3

Lo Del Pasado:

Daniel has gotten Miriam’s agreement to see the doctor again for permission to travel back to Chile—when hopefully, Shady Doc is off playing an 18 hole round of golf that day, so that Mir gets to see his morally upright and totally incorruptible partner for that long-awaited SECOND OPINION  that Viewerville’s been hoping for.  Dionisio and Isadora are toasting to putting the finishing touches to their sinister plans for bending both Camila and Cayetano to their wicked will.  Cam will have to cede La Malquerida—and probably an amount of personal mattress space to Dio--and El Tonto de Yippee ¡Yai! Cayó will suffer a fatal heart attack after tippling back a couple of Issa’s custom Poison Passion potassium cocktails, a Viuda Negra house specialty.  Dio and Dora, the sexual sicko’s in this story, have plunged to the depths of degenerate debauchery after the aphrodisiac of discussing their murderous maneuverings.  Bwahahahahaa!!!

Lo Del Nuevo:


Natalia, with Yago the Yutz in tow, arrives at Daniel and Miriam’s with a wedding invitation for the coming Saturday.  The affianced couple meets Mir and learns that Dan and Fam are leaving to return to Chile on Sunday.  They’ll be there to say their good-byes to everyone, however.

Back in the bull yards of La Malquerida, Eleutario and Rodolfo are disputing the truth of what Ileana told Rod about Yago’s true and most dishonorable honorable intentions in marrying the deflowered damsel, Rodolfo’s little señorita gone astray, Natalia. Eleutario mentions that his fruit-seller friend, Leti, told him she saw Yago the other day picking some street walker up and driving off with her.  Rod thinks it’s some stupid third-hand gossip or something.  Eleu tells him La Leti had no reason to lie to him and knows he knows Nat and that’s why she mentioned it.  Well, then, Rod says muy hot under the collar, he hopes Amanda’s little plan works cuz that yutz doesn’t deserve her!

Amor Bravío #151 (Uni 146) Thu 3/21/13 Amor Encarcelado


 Ileana tells Team Cayetano that Isadora has been putting drops in all of Cayetano's meals.  For now, though, the drops will just be water.  Rocio is anxious to have the drops analyzed so that there's finally proof to convince Cayetano with.  Ileana admits she's done a lot of stupid crap, but she hopes she's making up for it a little now.  Rocio hopes this whole experience will help Ileana adjust her attitude.  Mariano tells Ileana there's no resentment on his part.  Ileana hopes Pablo and Luzma will be happy together.  She even asks to give Refugio a kiss.  Slow mo hugs all around and sappy music playing as the allegedly reformed bad girl takes her leave.




Teresa is meeting with one of Agustina's cronies to gather some proof of her innocence.  Crony #1 says she knows Agustina, but they're not exactly BFF's.  Plus she's feeling deceived since Augie didn't get certified in Vegas.  Teresa says she thought she would, but she was deceived.  Crony #1 is also upset that she referred other people to Agustina.  Teresa promises she'll try to get everyone what they're due, but she really needs the woman to testify.  Well, hell no, she won't!  And what's more, Agustina should be grateful she's not planning to sue her, as long as she gets her money back.
