Qué Bonito Amor #86 (Mex 124) Tuesday 8/13/13 Someone is screeching at someone else, plus make-up sex.

QBA: Hola everyone! I'm subbing for Eli tonight.  

Here are some screencaps to get us started. Full recap below.

He hears her singing . . .

Isa looks so pretty with her own hair, instead of that frightful wig. Let's hope they let her stick with her own locks from now on!

Working on a reconciliation.

Happy happy, joy joy. The reconciliation went well.

Paloma has an ominous dream about Rodrigo . . .

WHY WHY WHY?!?! Why, writers, why? You are just too cruel.

Poor heartbroken Rodrigo has the tender support of many loved ones.

RECAP SUMMARY with a plethora of screencaps.

We have a refrito with JAntos not sure he can forgive Maria, and Maria crying over it. Maria has a bright idea and we see her serenading JAntos outside of his pension room window. He seems unmoved at first, but doesn't move away from his balcony. When she climbs up the trellis to him, he smacks a passionate beso on her. Things are looking up for our couple.

Corazon Indomable, #66, Tuesday, 08/14/13 Lieutenant Octavio Narvaez of the Isla Dorada Navy, Army and Aviation Force is Oblivious no more. For now.


I always complain, so now I have to mention I quite enjoyed this episode, I feel like so much happened. Could this be because I had a shot of tequila before writing the recap? 
Don’t judge me, it was very good tequila. ¡Salud!
 *
I'll be editing it some more in the morning, gotta go to sleep now. 
 
At her house, Maria Alejandra is remembering Mohammed’s warning that Karim will accuse her of the assassination attempt if she doesn’t go to visit him. For once in her life, she seems scared – is she finally realizing that she’s been playing with very powerful men? No, not really, she is still reluctant to believe she could be accused.

Our two pilotontos read the letter that Octavio received at the end of last episode and it says – – – wait for it – – – the Governor gave Tav a new title, he named him lieutenant in the Isla Dorada Navy! Ed is sure later he’ll become a captain, a colonel, a commander. Tav is not that happy about it, he knows nothing about military life (or life in general, as far as I’m concerned); also, both guys agree that the isla is not that great when it comes to its Navy force – you know, like boats and stuff.
Regardless, Ed thinks Tav will look great in the white uniform (can’t argue here). Tav doesn’t feel like accepting the title, though, even if the pay would be much better, because that would mean him becoming a slave. So he decides to refuse the promotion (but can we call it that if he hasn’t even been in the field before?) and go talk to the Gov about it. And why not break up with Doris, too, finish the farce once and for all. Good luck with that, Lieutenant Narvaez!

Alone in his office, the Gov is thinking about the trouble he’ll have if the Police Chief discovers that he accepted the Emir’s bribe to allow the sale of the Casino.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 11. August 12, 2013.


Marina asks Damian where he gets the idea that she’s jealous.  He tells her he only speaks the truth.  She assures him he’s so wrong.  He doesn’t know her feelings at all.  You’re right replies Damian.  You have no feelings.  Your heart is made of stone.  With that he takes his leave.

Damian sees Lazaro and asks where’s he’s been.  Lazaro tells him that his mom went to see his uncle, the priest, and complained that he and his cronies are a bad influence.  But I don’t think so and my uncle agrees.  He promises to work extra hours to make up for the time lost.  Damian wants to know if what Bagre ways is true.  Did you find a woman?  Yes, replies Lazaro, but it’s not like that.  Jaz is my friend and we are in love.

Qué Bonito Amor #85 (Mex 123) Monday 8/12/13 Two Parties, a Wedding, and a Reconciliation


JNTR: Jorge Alfredo walks off the stage after Maria finishes “Si Nos Dejan” and Maria stifles her tears as best she can before taking her bow with the band. She does not hear the applause.

Sanchez Apartment: Susanito and his trumpet get home to find the apartment empty.

JNTR Musicians' Dressing Room / Club Room: Jorge Alfredo talks with Siete Mares while Maria talks with Fernando. Siete Mares talks about pride being a bad thing while Maria thinks she has lost Jorge Alfredo forever.  Later Ana comes in asking why Maria doesn't give Ruben a chance [She is truly blind]. Maria counters by asking her whether she loves Siete Mares or is just using him to hurt Fernando. Ana looks like Maria has hit a nerve.

PEAM #110 - 8/12/13 - A Funeral is the Least of Our Problems


Refrito, Elias kisses Valentina goodnight, she doesn't look too happy but the green stars make her close her eyes.  Jesús tries to take his leave of Aida since it is the evening when Agosto demands he attend him in his office for an emergency.  Oops, Alma has prepared a romantic heart laden table an donned her sexy red dress as she dreams of former kisses.

Rogelio tells Alejandra that he has an important client for her, Nick Donovan.  Even though he smells odd, she would rather cuddle with Rogelio but she is won over by the stack of cash he hands her from the conveniently located briefcase full of bills.  The photographer is burning up his memory card as Alejandra leaves and Virus-onica arrives.  Sanson does his usual disapproving growl.  She thinks Rogelio smells odd too.  Did I miss a product placement or what? Why does Rogelio smell funny?  In his hurry to pin Virus to the couch, she nearly crushes Sanson but he barks to shoo them off to the bedroom upstairs. Que asco.

Aida has to call Alma to tell her that Jesús is detained in a meeting with Agosto so she sits and daydreams of their romantic moments instead.

Corazon Indomable #65, 8/12/2013: Inconvenient Wives; Karim and the Chief Put the Squeeze on Mari

El Emir Karim’s wife, who also has lovely blue eyes, and her father, whose fake beard is worse than Teo’s fake hair, have been teleported to Isla Dorada to Karim’s hospital bedside. Mrs. Karim wonders if it would not have been better for them to put Karim in the teleporter machine to the Emerites, so that he can receive medical care there. The doctor interrupts to say he’s about to look over Karim’s wound, so the lady better leave the room. Her father insists that in her delicate condition (I guess Karim did fulfill his duty and plant his seed), it’s best she leave and protect the health of the heir. He thinks they should go speak to the police.

Ed bets Tav that he is such a weakling, that he’ll end up marrying Doris. Tav denies it, but like a coward, refuses to answer the phone, in case it IS La Hija del Gobernador. Ed takes the call and fields Doris’ one-hundred- and-one questions about Tav’s whereabouts, pretending he has no idea where his friend is. (And just why would he be hanging out in Tav’s room if Tav wasn’t there?) Miguel rushes in to gossip about the drama at the casino the night before.  Tav wants to know if Mari is ok. Miguel is more concerned about himself. The police intend to interview everyone who was present, and his fugitive status may get him into hot water. Ed doesn’t think the police will be so stupid as to not figure out Miguel’s a wanted man. Tav, caring brother that he is, is more concerned about Maria Alejandra’s chances of being detained. He wants to help her.

Corazon Indomable #64, 8/9/2013: Coup d’etats, New Business Partnerships, & Tav Grows a Conscious

Cece's recap is up!  

Recap by Cece  

The Old: Raiza is informing Maria Alejandra of the recent agreements between Emir and Carola. Raiza insists that she can be trusted and MA complies. Contrary to Raiza’s advice, MA will be heading to the celebration tonight.

The New
Miguel is reading Lucia’s letter of desperation. She can no longer take his absence, she wants to sell so she can be by his side and Miguel will also be able to see his son.  She’s spends the rest of the letter pouring out the little love (didn’t know she even had that in her) that’s in that hatred filled heart of hers.  Miguel looks not so pleased at this revelation. He does not want her to come and see how far he’s fallen. He blames his situation on her sins.  Because of her sins, he has murdered a man and that will forever be on his conscious. He also blames her for losing what he loves most…. his lands (too bad MA will get her hands on those soon!). So he doesn’t have to think about anything, he prefers to drown his sorrows with alcohol (yea, like that’s not going to get you into more problems. What’s wrong with you brothers? Please, just once act like you have a brain!).  Raiza stops for a visit and tells him to stop drinking (she almost seems sincere). Miguel acts surprised and tells her not her too (oh gee, sorry for caring). Raiza reminds him he has to work tonight, and to do so he needs to have a clear mindset. He tells her that Lucia wants to come to La Famosa Isla, but Raiza firmly tells him to say no way! Raiza comes up with a plan for Octavio to somehow convince Lucia to stay at the ranch.

Qué Bonito Amor #84 (Mex 122) Friday 8/9/13 The Thrill Is Gone--But The Slow Burn Ain't

Cap 122 or thereabouts.....


Lo Del Pasado:

Susanito is free at last, free at last!

Ruben continues to badmouth Jorge Alfredo and to offer his “solid citizen’s” shoulder to cry on for Maria.  Maria doesn’t want to hear it.   Now that Ruben realizes Maria and JAntos are on the outs he tries to widen the divide every chance he gets. He and Maria have walked in on Elvira forcibly locking lips uhhhh-gain with JA who gets an accusatory earful from his angry ex.  It’s more of the hey, I just work here and I am heading back to L.A. now that I’ve done what I said I would for you and since there’s nothing keeping me here any longer.  Trampira and Rubber exchange shit-eating grins of approval with each other.  

Isa and Jalisquito continue their battle of the sexes.  

Lo Del Nuevo:

Rodrigo finds a way to earn a bit of extra cash and spends it on poster board “I Love You” signs to wave up at Paloma through the balcony window. (Yawn.) FF>>

Once the others are gone, Rub tells JAntos that for as much as he’s tried to force JA out of Maria’s life and away from his comfy barrio buds, he becomes more and more established [afianzarse] within the community.  He accuses JA of playing games with Maria’s feelings and hurting her.  JA tells Rub he’s a poor loser who has no dignity and begs for the love of a woman who’ll never respond to him. 

Trampira tries pestering Maria while she’s counting bottles at the bar.  Maria tells Vi to can it and tells Vi how sad it is to see a woman humiliate herself by subjecting herself to continual refusals from a man who wants nothing to do with her.  “—You’d have to kill me to destroy the love tie between Jorge Alfredo and me!”  Vi tells herself that just might be worth the effort.  “—Have it your way!”  (Hey, she already killed once; what’s another life more or less?)

JA says he didn’t break it off with Maria; he simply let her go. Anyway, he’s not like de Olmo who gets a sick kick out of playing with people’s feelings, always enjoying seeing them squirm.  Rub claims he’s making Maria suffer—something he’d never do because he lurrrrves Maria so. “—No you desire her and that’s quite different!!  You simply cannot stand the fact that a humble woman would reject the opulent life you offer her!”  “—What’s wrong with offering her a world she’s never known?”  “--Nobody asked you to!  And, anyway, I can offer her that and much more.”  Rub reminds JA that he’s got to deal with American justice first.  JA is all back atcha!  “--Yeah, I will eventually get it all worked out.  And what about you when the law finally catches up with you?”  No matter, he continues.  “--Oh, and don’t get too chummy with Maria while I’m gone, because before I leave I’m making sure she’ll never look twice at a guy like you!” JA exits stage left.  Ruben snarls to himself afterwards that Santos is going to fall fast and hard and will soon be keeping company with Giuliano…..

Mil Amores, still off his game, admits to himself that he loves Ana with all his might and decides to write her a love letter expressing his feelings.  Unfortunately for Mil, he’s only thinking with half his brain.  Mil keeps it anonymous so that when he slips the envelope under Ana’s apartment door, Seven Seas finds it and hands it to her during lunch.  She naturally thinks it came from Seven Seas, and he isn’t exactly in any hurry to correct the notion either.    

Jalisquito gets honked off that Isa has won their little sidewalk soccer game.  Mil gives the kid lessons on keeping his “disappointment” from a female.  They share more “Big Brother” moments and practice a few new songs together.

Concho surprises Lourdes with flowers and her favorite perfume.  (A woman is always a sucker for a beautiful bouquet—and damn if this one isn’t one of the most intriguing ones I’ve ever seen!)  She seems to be fighting the urge and Viewerville hopes she sticks to her guns.  He offers to make her dinner.  She doesn’t know if she’ll let him. 

At the same time, pobre de Murna’s slumming and still in her nightie and slippers.  She swears she’s going to get even with the Hernandez family and make them pay for humiliating her.  

Back at the bar, JAntos is heading out for home.  Maria chases after him and begs for forgiveness again.  He refuses again and says something inside of him has broken.  He’s been betrayed by friends and lovers.  She swears she never betrayed him.  He says it was enough that she took de Olmo’s side over his and then admits he simply no longer has it in him to forgive.  She swears that no matter where he goes and how far he goes, he will never get rid of her or forget her because his heart belongs to her; when he eventually is able to forgive her and return, she’ll be there waiting for him.

Rub tells Maria later on that the cold and heartless way JA is treating her is proof that he’s really not the great guy she thought he was.  “--Nobody should ignore the sacrifices others have made for them!  He’s showing his true colors.”  Maria takes this with a wary grain of salt cuz she knows she stuck her foot in it, big time with de Olmo.

Fernando advises JA to forgive and forget, but JAntos says this time he can’t.  He is just hurting too bad.  He only ever felt this bad when his mother died, he says, and perhaps that means that his love for Maria is dying also.  No way, says Fer.  It will never die, but you have to learn that love means forgiveness.  “—if we can’t forgive then we cannot love. (Sounds a bit convoluted to me, but I guess that’s another cute way of saying love means never having to say you’re sorry, right?)

And the show must go on!  That night JA, with a sad glance at Maria, chooses to open the set with “Te Solte La Rienda”.  Maria is heartbroken.  He finishes the song and she sings “Si Nos Dejan” to him and holds out her hand once she’s finished.  He thinks it over for a few loooooong seconds and decides to ignore her and walk off the stage.  (Ouch!)  Well, we can't exactly say she didn’t have it coming……

La Tempestad, Cap. 10, Friday, August 9: No offense, dude, but my hands smell like fish.

Demetrius:
Do I entice you? do I speak you fair?
Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth
Tell you, I do not, nor I cannot love you?

Helena:
And even for that do I love you the more.
I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius, 
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you*

*A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II, scene 1.

The old:  
Hernán has a post-dinner tantrum.  Marina snaps at DamFab for walking into her office without knocking -- "Didn't anyone teach you better?" When DamFab attributes her petty tyranny to jealousy, Marina is all "Me, jealous?"  ¡Está usted loco!

The new:
Hernán Haskell, a vision in tight orange pants, breezes into Marina's office with a chirpy "Buenos días" and then, noticing the glaring contest between the two pretty protagonistas, asks if he is interrupting anything.  DamFab sighs and mockingly repeats Marina's reproach: "Didn't they teach you to knock?"  Marina puts on a show for DamFab's benefit, greeting HH warmly, thanking him for the wonderful evening, kissing his cheek.

That Esthercita is being fitted for her wedding gown doesn't keep her from needling her with-friends-like-this-who-needs-enemies best friend, Mayuya.   Behind her, the seamstress warns Esthercita to stop fidgeting or she's going to stick her with a pin.
[Do it! someone calls from the Patio.]  
Mayuya stares up at the preening little E.  If looks could kill...

Hernán extends his hand: "Hernán Saldaña, capitán."  DamFab keeps his own arms crossed on his chest: "No offense, but my hands smell like fish."  But H is offended and Marina rushes to his defense.  When H leans over to kiss Marina's hand, DamFab snickers.  But when Hernán pulls out his wallet to pay the captain for risking his life and saving Marina, DamFab stops smiling.  He reminds H that not everything is for sale.

As DamFab exits, we catch a glimpse of the Sabritas machine in the hallway.  And we are reassured that, whatever her problems, Marina will always have something to nosh on.

PEAM #109- 8/9/13: What Time Is It? Time for Barbara to Exit Stage Left, Mari to Tell The Truth, Vero and Roger to Pull Plan B, That's What Time It Is!



 

Hola PEAM Peeps! I am going to try and make this a down and dirty recap, in other words, I tend to be wordy and let's see how brief I can be. This recap, of course, will not be in order.


The Refried:
We had the refried again, as in Mari must tell the truth, Alma calls Chucho for a date later, Xochi talks to Chatita, who informs her there is no answer at her apartment, cause she was going to visit Barbara. Oh, and Vero meets Roger (her name for Rogue) at a restaurant where they will hatch new mis planes!


The New:
Chucho is at Orion at work and thinks about what Aida said about Auggie (Augusto) not liking anyone's personal life, it's work, work and more work. In comes Vicky, Auggie's secretary and she is sliming herself all over Chucho. He is trying very hard to ignore her. She is getting into his personal space like white on rice, jus' sayin'. She has come in to tell him he must go to the conference room for a meeting.

Vero and Roger are going to ally themselves against Chucho since they hate his guts! Vero gets all over Roger's case about putting Val in danger with that stupid plan he had, well Roger is all pithed cause Alma almost lost her life too! Roger tells her that of course Chucho saved the day once again, Alma and Chucho are better than eva, and well Vero has a plan to maybe do something about that! Using Val of course, what else is new? Here is plan B: Leave it to Vero, and Roger will get what he wants. She'll use Valentina to get what she wants out of Chucho. They both lustily growl at each other. A Pox on the two of them!

Romegio is enthusiastically greeting people at Avon and tipping his hat. Gasper has to tell him to cool it!

La Tempestad, Capitulo 9. August 8 2013. Hernan Plays The Violin, Damian Plays The Guitar, Marina Has A Jealous Snit.

                            

We begin where we left off the previous night. Damian has brought Marina a bouquet of red roses to thank her for having saved him from jail and curing his wound. Marina thanks Damian for the roses and tells him that she has to go to packing plant. Damian offers to accompany her to packing plant. He may not have a fancy car but it will be his pleasure to accompany her. Marina prefers that he rest after all he just got out of the hospital. Damian will do as Marina says just so he won't argue with her so early in the morning. Damian will go to La Tempestad to see the unloading of the fish. He excuses himself. 
There is more gazing between the two of them before Damian leaves. 

Mexico City
Mercedes recalls some of the most recent events in her life. She opens a drawer and takes out a photo of her twins when they were babies. "The time of the truth is near and I won't be able to hide it. Everything comes." she says. She picks up the phone to make phone call. 

At the packing plant, Hernan has come to see how Marina is doing after the complicated day she had the day before when she was out at sea. Marina tells Hernan that she's fine and tells him that he is so well-mannered. Hernan responds by telling her probably the only truth that will come out of his mouth - he tells her that he is not so well mannered, he's egotistic and self-interested. Hernan tells Marina that a gentlemen should do these things without wanting something else. Marina doesn't understand what he means. Hernan tells her that he didn't only come to see how she was doing. He also came to ask her out on a date. He'd love her to come to dinner at his house. Oh and her mother is invited too. Marina accepts the invitation. Hernan will come to pick her up. He knows they will have a good time. He says that by coming to dinner Marina will also be able to forget the nightmare that she lived the day before with those dirty sailors. He also says that maybe if God wants they will get to know each other again. He tells her that they will see each other later and he leaves.

Qué Bonito Amor #83 (Mex 121) Thursday 8/8/13 Que Bonita Apelación

Maria won't let their relationship be over.  Jantos gives her a hard time about wounding him mortally with her words.  Maria can't get a word in edgewise.  Jantos is feeling an abyss eating him from inside, he's so hurt, and he swears it's over and he doesn't know how to forgive, cause she fell down on the job and never taught him how.  "Ojala que te vaya bonito," he says, and departs, leaving her in tears.

The LA cops want OGto come with them and have his fingerprints taken.  To rule him out, of course.  Bruno agrees he'll be there tomorrow.  NO, damnit!  Don't let him go tomorrow!  He'll go burn his damn hands off in the meantime!  The Godfather wants OG to disappear.  He figures Santos has won.

Maria cries in her apartment while Jantos cries in his.  Do not throw that blanket out the window, Jantos, I'm warning you!  No, he wraps himself in it and looks at the moon.  Meanwhile, Maria is wrapped in her shawl and we switch from "Ojala Que Te Vaya Bonito" to "Que Bonito Amor."  Maria cries on the floor.  Jantos cries to his teddy.  Maria cries to the loveseat while Jantos mopes with the teddy by the light of the moon.  Oh, never mind, he's not crying.  He's implacable.  Dumbass.

Rodrigo asks Colosso to please not leave just when they're getting to know each other.  Colosso swears they'll still have a relationship.  Colosso is leaving his hat for Roddy.  Like Wolverine left his dog tags for Rogue in the first X-Men movie.  Roddy's begging is to no avail.  So now we've got…what…3 people crying?  I still want to count Jantos as one of them.

Corazon Indomable Cap. 63 8/8/13 “(You’re) Having My Baby. What a lovely way of sayin’ how much you love me.”



          Thanks to  Adriana Noel and LatinaInMD for recapping during my vacation.
        Our intrepid and lavishly-dressed heroine is fighting battles on all sides.  At the casino, partner Carola and the obsessed Emir Karim are trying to disrupt control of her empire. The Gov., the Emir, and the renovated Teo are ready to storm her heart (not to mention her body.)  “Shut Up, Doris” is an annoying gnat buzzing around, trying to keep MA away from Daddy Gov.

          MariAle’s thirst for vengeance is driving her life to exclusion of anything else. Solita is on character lockdown and little Lupita rates only a plot-device mention in tonight’s action. Her wardrobe is dominated by red dresses, probably symbolic of the blood she’s ready to shed.

Casino Bar
          As we open, the Gov. just left her side, and Octavio waits for his appointment with destiny.  MA takes him to the deserted bar, where they can speak privately and avoid gossip.  Their conversation is intense, punctuated with burning gazes and equally scorching kisses.  (Save this one on DVD for a winter night when the house needs some heat.)   

          The basic point? The Gov. wants to marry MariAle, Doris wants to marry Octavio but can’t stand MA. The only way MA will cede control of the Gov. and his proposal is for Doris to give her Tav. If Doris won’t give in, MA could end up as Tav’s mother-in-law.  He needs to take some action (not exactly his strong suit.)

PEAM #108-8/8/13-Uri Doesn't Go "U.P." As Per His Belt Buckle, He Goes Down, So Who Is Picadillo Now??

Refrito-
Malvino snatches Val and Elias tries to defend his home and family.  Uri proves to Jesus that he has control of Val and he is not a liar.  Jesus flips out upon hearing Val’s distressed voice. Jesus tells Uri that he is a coward and picks on women and children, and tells Uri let’s go one deep (one on one) and Uri starts bitch slapping Jesus.  (We hear Alma and her dreaded scream)  Jesus keeps on beckoning Uri telling him that he is not a man and lets fight without the gun.    Jesus punches Uri once and Uri asks for another with his gun and tells Jesus that he is going to die.

"You're going to sell your shares to the government for pennies?", "No, I'm going to sell my portion of the casino to Karim for millions of dollars!" says Carola. "You can't do that, the government won't allow the sale!" "The government will allow it, as long as the casino continues its normal operations" "You can't do this Carola, you will force me into a partnership with Karim!" "Well, if you don't want to be his partner sell him your portion of the casino, you will be even more wealthy!" "No sir!, I will not sell him my casino, I need it!" "But you have other casinos!"

La Tempestad Cap #8 - Wed 7 August - Sluts and Booze!!!!*


 
*I couldn’t think of a title so I used my favorite line of the episode.


Welcome to The Patio of Lowered Expectations, where every Wednesday is Hump Hunk Day and we feature an all-day Happy Hour.


Last night -  We left Capitán Dam Fab and his newest crew gazing at each other while the boom box blasted “Today I want you, Hoy tengo ganas de ti!”


Tonight - Mayuya the faux-happy frenemy is “so excited” that Estercita is alive and gets to marry Dam Fab. Mayuya’s half-a$$ed smile barely disguises the seething volcano inside and she almost erupts when Delfina excitedly tells Princess Estercita she’ll be the most beautiful bride in the world.

Qué Bonito Amor #82 (Mex 120) Wednesday 8/7/13 Jantos/Maria break up (again); Colosso splits (gasp); Amalia worries about.....Amalia.


·         Maria tells Moms she knows Jantos would never ever, ever cheat on her w/Elvira.  She's gonna look for him – they can't stay mad at each other, especially now.  Suddenly Ruben shows up at their front door with his face beat to a pulp.  He tells them that hoodlum Jantos is the louse who accosted him at his office.  He claims Jantos beat him up cuz he wants Ruben to give up on Susanito's case and give up on Maria.  Not only that, Jantos threatened to kill him!  He might have done so too if Elvira hadn't arrived just then to save him.  Maria apologizes but he tells her she's no to blame for Jantos' violent character.  Maria is tending to his wounds and we see Jantos walking up.  He witnesses her tender touch and Ruben's caressing her cheek.  Well, that's enough – he barges in and wonders why Ruben can't understand he needs to stay away from Maria!  He pulls him up from his chair but Maria gets between them.  Jantos gets a good look at him and sees Ruben's injuries.  “Hey, wait a minute, that's not how I last saw you!”  Ruben:  “You're not going to deny that you went to my office and beat me up, are you?”  Jantos again denies having beat him.  Ruben asks Maria to please ask Jantos to assume responsibility for his actions.  As always, Maria takes someone else's side against Jantos.  “Were you so angry that he was helping me that you insisted he drop out (of Susanito's case?)”

PEAM # 107-8/7/13: Danger! Danger! Everybody Could Die! Including Two Forty Year Old Virgins!


Recap By Pablo

Won't we all? But, what's the hurry?

Aída is probably breaking a promise but what the heck, Delia is nowhere to be found and Alma is more important than anything, so she calls her to warn her and tell her that Jesús and everybody he knows is in danger. If he doesn't comply to Uri's demands, there could be a huge pile of picadillo and a lot of people missing. You do the math.

Since Alma is already at Chatita's, and Elías is there too, she quickly shares the 411 she's got. Everybody panics and thinks about Valentina, who due to her age and size, could be in the most danger. We grown ups can deal with anything, but what about the little ones? Think about them, they're defenseless! Just to be on the safe side, Valentina will skip school tomorrow and before Elías leaves, Chatita gives him the long version of her famous blessing.

In another place but at the same time, Jesús promises himself that Uri won't be able to touch even a hair from any of the three women in his life, so Chatita, Alma and Valentina can rest assured that nothing will happen to them as long as Jesús can stand up for them.
