PEAM, Tuesday 8/20/13 (#116): As the Stomach Turns

A Secret So Secret, Even Evil Elvis Doesn't Know, Which Proves He's an Idiot Like His Dad

Chucho is devastated when Evil Elvis gleefully rejects his loan application. Julio feels guilty, remembering all the grief that he and the other Sillies put Chucho through when he started at Avon; but Chucho says those little pranks were not even in the same league as what Melquiades just did.

What's more, Chucho's innards are still churning. He confides to Julio that there must be something really wrong with him, because for the first time in his life, he's not even hungry. Really! Julio realizes that this must be very serious indeed. It must be the stress. (Chucho then takes a sip of coffee, which cannot possibly help a distressed digestive tract...)

Chucho has a stressful conversation with Alma about a Very Important Dinner that he really doesn't want to deal with, and then Augusto wants to talk about a contest. But Chucho shows him the rejected loan application, and Augusto shakes his head and calls Vicky and tells her to make sure the loan is approved first thing tomorrow.

Augusto doesn't want to talk about Evil Elvis, but Chucho insists and Augusto explains, reluctantly and with great shame, that Melquiades is indeed his son. Augusto has been married three times and had seven children, and that was expensive enough. But then one day his second wife's maid Otilia let him know she'd given him an additional child, Melquiades. It was confirmed with a DNA test.

Augusto says that nobody else knows about this - not even Melqui himself. Chucho looks stunned. I'm sorry to say this makes all three of them look like idiots: Augusto for thinking no one suspects; Chucho for not suspecting; and Evil Elvis for not realizing that he's getting extra-special treatment.

Anyway, Augusto never gets around to telling Chucho about the contest, whatever it is. He lets Chucho go home, leaving Julio and Aida alllll alone in the office. After much hemming and hawing, they agree to go out for coffee.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 16. August 20, 2013.


Bagre asks Damian if he really wants to leave his boat. Damian feels it’s no longer his. Bagre thinks there is still time to recoup it. Damian says he needs to distance himself from her. He will go crazy if he can’t love her freely. Bagre suggests going out for drinks. 

 

On deck, Damian runs into Marina and asks her what’s she’s doing here. You know while you are still looking for another captain, I’m still the boss here.  Marina informs him that unfortunately he has no authority anymore. Why is that ask Damian. Are you the new captain? The crew laughs. No, Senior Fabre replies Marina. Damian reminds her to call him Captain. She tells him she has news. What news he asks. Hernan chooses to make a grand entrance. The news is that I am the new captain of “La Tempestad”. Marina needs my help and I am not going to leave her alone. Damian laughs at this. He tells Marina that Hernan has no experience in the fishing business. Hernan says he doesn’t think that “La Tempestad” is no different than any other boat and he has a lot of experience.  (What experience? You might go fishing for pleasure, but I’m pretty sure that’s about it) Anyway, Damian says this not something easy that anyone can do.  Hernan disagrees. Marina needs some modifications and increased production.  Damian tells him not to change a thing on the boat. If you do, I will kill you.  Marina tells him to stop and leave. They have a staring contest.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #70 - “One Step Closer to Discovering MariAle’s True Identity and to the End of our Protagonist’s Not-So Fairy Tale Marriage”



Corazon Indomable, Episode #70, Monday, August 19, 2013 –

“One Step Closer to Discovering MariAle’s True Identity and to the End of our Protagonist’s Not-So Fairy Tale Marriage”
Recap by LatinaInMD 

Karim meets with the governor and repeats his claim that he lost his throne thanks to MariAle.  The guv tells him he doubts it was her fault, but Karim assures him he is already preparing his payback against her.

Doris and Mariana appear at the hospital to show Octavio they care about his nephew’s well-being, but as usual Doris ends up ordering Octavio to take her out to lunch later, once he’s had a chance to see his nephew. 

Speaking of meals, Ed and flight attendant Sonia are having breakfast at a restaurant when Angel and Araceli walk in arm-in-arm.  Sonia notes that Araceli looks quite happy.  An annoyed Ed says he can’t believe Araceli could have replaced him in just two days.  He glares at them and notices as Angel cups Araceli’s hand in his hands.

As usual, Octavio tries to say no to Doris but quickly gives in to her wishes, noting how “generous” she is in allowing him a whole ten minutes to see his nephew before they leave.

Octavio goes in to see his nephew, and both Miguel and Lucia immediately beg him to go borrow money on their behalf, as Miguel is too embarrassed to do it himself.  Octavio agrees to do it, but says he will not sign the IOU himself.  He will only pick it up and bring it back for Miguel to sign it so he can get the money.

Angel now caresses Araceli’s face, and Sonia notes that it looks more serious than she imagined.  Ed figures that’s why Araceli didn’t want him at the store anymore and wasn’t willing to give him more time to get serious about their relationship.  Sonia points out he can’t have it both ways – love her or leave her.

Qué Bonito Amor #90 (Mex 128) Monday 8/19/13 The Great Escape



JNTR:  Amalia bitchslaps Elvira over what she did to Maria.  At her pretentious reaction, Amalia tells her that what goes around comes around.   The cops head for the paso de gato. The explosion happens and a fire begins. Both Maria and Jorge Alfredo are unconscious. Amalia panics and insists on going upstairs. The Mexican cops start trying to force the door. Fernando and Susanito go upstairs. Giuliano gloats as his two accomplices ask for their pay. Rubén suggests that they all leave. The SWAT cops don't allow them to leave the area. Susanito returns to tell the other good folk that the explosion was in Maria's dressing room. Amalia freaks, Elvira gloats in the corner, Rubén looks edgy. Fernando yells through the door while trying to dislodge it with the fire extinguisher. The flames grow. Meanwhile Elvira has the gall to gloat at Amalia saying that there is always payback. Mirna is about to go after her but is prevented from doing so. Remedios tells Elvira off, however, saying that it is a pity that someone so pretty could have a soul so black. Giuliano enters, gloating quietly, not realizing that Justo and Wendy are behind him. Justo demands to know what he is doing there.  Amalia tries to comfort her younger daughters.

PEAM #115. 08/19/13 - How Low Can You Go? Misery Abounds and a Rash is Unleashed



This picture called Santa Fe Colibri has nothing to do with the story line which is a pack of miseries but I thought we could all think about something beautiful like this little creature while we hear this tale of woe.


Rogelio assures us he is the director and Alma counters with how is he going to explain his useless azz to Pancho Lopez, the big boss. She accuses him of being a jerk who is jealous of her love for Jesús.  As usual, having no way to refute these truths, he retreats in a huff.

Back at Orion we again see MalMelquiades come in with his silly Elvis steps trying to make fun of Jesús and then when Jesús and Julio simply leave the room preferring to ignore his silliness, he brushes her neck and tries make time with Aida on his way out. She is not having it either.

Ricardo complains to Xochi that Maricela is unhappy because she is a lousy fake and recounts how she isn't a princess or even rich and instead is the lowly daughter of the lowly janitor Panfilo.

Again we see Valentina pronounce the only accurate description of Rogelio - MALO. Yup, out of the mouth of babes. Rogelio simply cannot believe there is a female alive that isn't enthralled with him but she isn't his cup of scotch either.

Jesús is finally filling his Lic. in on Rogelio's activity against him, threatening Valentina using Yuri. and his brother has a bad conscience trying to hide Rogelio's illegal activities and money laundering scheme.

Valentina tries to play with Sanson who is good and watches wondering as we all do while Rogelio fears Valentina's touch on Sanson and Veronica is screeching that Val must not touch the dirty dog.  Later, Rogelio who has no idea what to do around a child, suggests she go out and play in traffic (not really but he fearfully lets her go play in the yard with Sanson. At least girl and dog are happy to be step children of the new family unit. Valentina is right to be looking askance, she is about to be swallowed up in a house where none of the adults give a fig about her.

Porque el Amor Manda #114: Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Veronica does not succeed in smothering Rogue, more's the pity. She promises to pick Vale up at school. (Will she be able to find it?) Rogue points out that she keeps talking about how much she loves her daughter, yet she still uses her as a tool. He may not have human children, but he has Sanson, and -- Vero interrupts that he's going to come home one day and find that dog in the oven. What a fun couple.

As if Rogue giving advice on family life isn't bizarre enough, Paty's back at Alma's, giving her a lecture on romance. Men! First they're all blue-princey, and then before you know it they're too busy to see you. And caray, the perils of the long-distance relationship! (All the way across Monterrey, she means.) Love is like a plant! It must be carefully tended! Alma tells her not to be such a Debbie Downer...but she does look worried.

Tempestad #15- 8/16/13: Take This Job and Shove It, I Ain't Workin' Here No More



Ahoy, mis Tempestad Maties. I am skylarking a bit today, so please gather on the pier. Umbrellas, and sunblock are being provided as well as drinks like rum punch, grog, boilermakers, sangria, tequila sunrises and seabreezes are being served for your sipping pleasure. Spyglasses are also included for well, spying. 




This recap will not be in any order, some scenes have been combined for better and smoother flow of the recap.


The Refrito:
Nero and Herny follow Commandante Robles. They are pithed cause can't be moving the merchandise around when the Commandante is in town. They are losing all types of money. Well Nero suggests that they have a couple options, kill the Commandante, have him killed or have him have a tragic accidente! Herny tells Nero to not be stupid, rolls up the window on the SUV and puts his sunglasses on.

ShutupRosy (thanks CI recapping team) is at the church witching to the Padre about Laz being mixed up in bad ways and that girl Lu seems so much older than Laz. Padre doesn't see the problem. Love is good. Que??? from ShutupRosy. Lu just kind of appeared. Padre likes Lu. ShutupRosy thinks that Laz is a "boy" too young for marriage. Shut Up Rosy!

Laz is at the Tempestad staring at Lolo. Well Lolo doesn't like it and finally Laz apologizes for this previous broom to the neck incident. Lolo forgives but don't eva do that again. Lolo thought it was great that Laz wanted to defend his mujer, but not the way he did that. Lolo will be teaching Laz to fire a gun, the pirates are the excuse, but guns aren't toys and he has to do all Lolo says. Agreed! Now Laz is running off to see Jaz.

Becky and Bea discuss Herny and then of course that DamFab guy. Becky doesn't think that Marina would fall for some poor fisherman, no siree Bob she wouldn't until Becky gets a load of him coming up the street. Of course Becky changes her mind right quick and would jump into a sea of sharks for this guapo. Yummy!

Corazón Indomable Fri 8/16 Watch Out For That First Step!


¡Que casualidad! Today is Raiza's birthday and Lucía is in town...what could possibly go wrong?

We join Raiza and Miguel at the casino bar,

"I owe you a great deal, Raiza, and although you won't believe it, you have been helping me spiritually."
Let's Get Outta Here Before My Crazy Wife Shows Up
Hold it right there, buster, she has helped you on your way to financial ruin,  addiction to gambling and alcohol dependency, as well as abandonment of your family and farm... OK, we realize that there has been some fast and loose editing, but are you going to tell us that she's also been taking you to church, AA and Gamblers Anonymous meetings and that has all been left on the cutting room floor? 

Before he can enlighten us about his spiritual development she proposes a toast and although he's been sipping brandy out of a snifter, he begs off. See, his wife has a keen sense of smell (actually, crazy people do, they can smell things that aren't even there). She becomes maudlin and confesses that even though it's her birthday, she's all alone. Much like us, he doesn't want to descend into her self pity, so he decides to complete that toast and gulps down some of that brandy.

What can I say? The crazy lady, Lucía, looks great in that scarlet gown. She's impressed with the casino... lots of elegant ladies. Octavio agrees and tells her that they love the gambling (even more than the men do), and as Maricruz spies around the corner, he nervously goes to seek out his brother.
When Octavio departs, Maricruz, wearing a well-fitted black and brown gown, slinks out of hiding and approaches her cuñada, much as a lioness stalks her prey.
Welcome To My Web You Pretty Little Fly

"Buenas noches, Señora Lucia."

Qué Bonito Amor #89 (Mex 127) Friday 8/16/13 A Blow Out Of A Birthday Party!

Capítulo 127 

It’s the day of Maria’s (21st?) birthday party and the whole colonia is helping prepare something special, courtesy of JAntos who, despite his new found poverty, always manages to comp for a crap load o’ goodies.  

Rodrigo is learning to cook alongside the love of his short life from the Blue-haired Bubbes—er…Babes while Giuliano’s thugs, pretending to be repairmen and plant a bomb which is hooked to the light switch in Maria’s dressing room.  Ana orders a birthday cake made like a mariachi’s sombrero from her padrino down the block. 
Wendy whines to Michael that her life’s being threatened and so she’s gotta make tracks to parts unknown.  He’ll have to find another assistant.  It’s too dangerous to stick around.  (Like working inside the prison isn’t?)  He whines in return, begs her to stay, and promises to protect her somehow from inside Da Joint.  He’ll find out what the bad guys have planned through Darren.

The whole gang decorates the bar and then wait for the guest of honor to arrive.  The lights go out; she arrives in a (¿qué coinkidink?) beautiful lacy, flounced white partying frock and sees the flower and the sombrero cake.  Next comes the beautiful serenade from JAntos. Next comes sweet smooches and cheers.  Mil Amores has another onset of the sadsack for having lost out with Ana.

An Ill Omen Brings Nobody Good


LA TEMPESTAD # 14
16 August, 2013

The Town of Nuestra Señora del Mar, Veracruz, Mexico

“Nothing happened today. It was pretty uninteresting to me.”
                                                                                                Anonymous
                                                           
An Ill Omen

Marina leaves the church after her conversation with Damian. The wind blows her hair onto her lipgloss and she looks very upset. Yep, she is in a storm of emotions when she looks over at Damian. Damian has a rare clumsy moment and the brand new engagement ring in the black velvet box falls out of his pocket onto the ground. The good Priest, Fulgencio, Delfina and Estercita are standing a little lower on the church steps and see the ring fall. Oh, my, dear friends, this is a most inauspicious omen for los novios, Damian and Estercita.

Now, just where is Madrina Eusebia when Damian needs her? If she were on the scene instead of just hanging out in her cosy beach palapa she could tell the whole lot of them that this omen—the fallen engagement ring ON THE CHURCH STEPS—betides such ill chance that it would be better if Damian and Estercita never met! Marina and Damian could run into one another’s arms, cut to their boda, and the whole romance part could be wrapped up right here. Alas, Eusebia is not there and the moment with the possibility for a quick resolution to our story passes.

Qué Bonito Amor #88 (Mex 126) Thursday 8/15/13 Que Bonito Aburrimiento

The Santos, OG death match goes nowhere.

Justo comes to visit Michael to talk about Wendy.

Wendy gets a nasty email saying "YOU'RE NEXT" and freaks out.

OG's such a big man, beating on Jantos while he's being held by two goons.  OG opens up champagne…um, no, if it's Italian, then it's not champagne, dumbass!...to toast to this big day.  Still haven't heard why this is such a big day.  Ha!  OG's trying to shake Jantos down for 10 million.  What an idiot!

Roddy and Paloma…all alone?  Why?...go to Jantos' family's vault to leave Gloria's ashes.  I'm going to be bitter about Gloria's death for a while.  Roddy is likewise bitter, but in a more weepy way.

Maria and Fernando start tracking down Jantos.  They strike out at the restaurant.  Fernando counsels patience, but Maria is convinced Jantos is in danger.

Mostly I think he's in danger of being bored to death by OG.  So, the plan is to get Jantos to get Justo to hand over the money.  Jantos is thrilled to hear that OG's life is in danger.  OG admits to killing Bruno and Arnold.  He blames Arnold for not taking the money out of the trunk in time.  "Blah, blah, blah, he died like the rat he was."

Corazon Indomable Cap. 68 8/15/13 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”



           There seem to be a few bumps in the road to romance for our secondary couples, while our heroine is poised on the edge of a cliff. Will she jump into Karim’s arms or be pushed into a prison cell?  My preview prep was limited, so if I missed something, please add a comment.  Many short scenes are combined and may not be in strict order.

Previously      Doris is in Daddy Gov’s office brushing off Octavio’s marriage as a mere inconvenience.  It took place in a small town, after all.  If the first wife shows up on the island, Daddy can make her go away. 

          The Gov is slightly puzzled—doesn’t Doris care about the scandal?  Nope, just about her hawt pilot/Lt./air force commander/whatever.  She loves, loves, loves him and wants to marry him.  We have a nice break from ShutUpDoris for most of this episode.  She and Mariana have a brief scene with the Gov later, as he explains they can’t do the big wedding announcement yet because  a) he’s busy and b)the mess of Oblivio’s marriage isn’t fixed yet.

Casino Executive Offices
          The casino environment is beginning to feel claustrophobic, but it could be due to the emotional temperature of the sizzling scenes with MariAle and Tav.  The two are arguing if MariAle is MariCruz.  She gets her ID to show she is indeed Maria Alejandra Mendoza.  Our married man wonders how she knew he already had a wife and couldn’t marry Doris. She hints that his bro might have let the news slip while he was drunk. Oblivio, frustrated, claims he’ll marry Doris just to bother MariAle and asks her to leave him alone if she doesn’t love him.

PEAM #113- 8/15/13- A Break-up, An Engagement, An Annulment, An Ugly Divorce, An Almost Fight and An Arrest

It's out of order but easier to read. I grouped like happenings together.
 
The Old:
Ferny and Rogue are having a bro to bro talk about the only woman that he has loved- Amanda who he lost.  He only thinks about money and sex. Then Ferny breaks it down- you have your cake and was eating it too but you lost that as well.

 Marisela tells Panfilo to stop being a player and be honest but he is going to the Carnival Club for people of a certain age. Panfilo is dressed to the nines, cane and all and Susana is licking her chops when she sees him.

 Julio brings Jesus the judicial news about custody.
Moronica comes home in a mood and wants to speak to Elias about the photographer.  We get a glimpse of those horrible neon green, phone handle-matching shoes. Yuck!!!!!

Alma goes to Padre Domingo for the annulment papers.  Alma is happy.

Val is sneaking to speak to her Papa Jesus.  She is anxious to see him. Moronica is on her broom, yelling about Jesus and not letting him see his daughter and walks off. Beyotch!!!  Val has to hang up.  Moronica tries to act like a mother for once and kisses Val.  What a phony interaction.

Corazon Indomable #67 3 crazies and a crying toddler on one small island.

Married? ShutupDoris insists that’s a lie, and launches into another of her patented tirades.

Octavio and Ed are preparing for flight with Luciafer on board. Octavio wants Ed to keep quiet about Miguel and his little problems. Ed, the voice of reason, tells him he should stay out of their mess, but Octavio can’t help involving himself.

MA is at home congratulating herself over her anonymous call to the gov. ShutUpDoris must be having a hissy fit right about now. Check. Juanita comes in with the baby in a stroller to take her out for a walk and is bouncing around like she has to go to the bathroom and can barely hold on. Just go already, you’re making me have to go.  MA doesn’t notice and goes on to say how much she loves taking care of her baby’s needs. Finally MA looks at nanny and asks what’s wrong. Juanita tells her she’s worried because someone is watching their house. So it wasn’t because she was going to wet her pants. But why take the baby out on a walk if your worried about being watched?

Octavio is walking Lucia and the child through a plane hanger. She asks how Miguel is and he must be missing her, right? Lie, Octavio, Lie. Don’t involve yourself in their mess.

PEAM #112- 8/14/13: Some News Is Worse Than No News


Recap by Pablo

Lies can only be destroyed with bullets of truth

Elías is afraid. After Uri, Verónica is the most dangerous person in Monterrey. And she is on the loose!!

Raimunda's secret is public domain. Chatita convinced her to be truthful and now she is letting her hair down. As we all know, after seeing her mother get killed ''because she was a woman'' (by the hands of a very violent man), Raimunda denied her gender. Well, that was the past, because now Super Jesús is here to tell her to be herself, to prepare and study to be someone like Alma. See, Alma is a woman and nobody has killed her. Not all women get killed. Chatita is a woman and she has had a veeery looong life. Uri tried to kill Alma though, but she survived. You will too Raimunda, don't dress like a boy anymore, but better change that name. What about Ignacia? And your looks, we will help you. Ah! And don't worry about Valentina. She is just a girl and younger than you, but she has been exposed to so many adult situations that she knows more than me, Elías and Chatita together, she will understand your change... And soon you will be BFFs and could share make-up tips! 

Segment sponsored by Lala milk.

While Elías and Jesús give Raimunda a makeover, Chatita takes the opportunity to tell Valentina about ''the secret'', and I am not talking about the book by Rhoda Byrne. After opening the door, Valentina's jaw drops to the floor when she sees the first transgender girl in her life. Raimunda is wearing a white dress and matching ribbon bows in her hair. They hug each other while the adults smile satisfied and proud of all the good they have done. From here, straight to heaven!!

PEAM, Tuesday 8/13/13 (#111): My Friends Call Me Chatita. You Can Call Me Luisa.

Rogue rants and raves in Alma's office. Alma closes the door in hopes of muffling their conversation, but this is hilariously ineffective. The employees and Elias hear every word as Alma lets Rogelio have it (verbally, that is) with every complaint she's kept bottled up for all this time: She's the one who keeps the office running. He does nothing around here except screw around with her friend or the occasional secretary. He traipses in around noon only to work on his personal projects of dubious legality, like the time he got those "Turkish cigars" from that "warehouse." She used to put up with it because he was her novio, but that was a mistake!

Rogelio says he wants Alma to tell him EVERYTHING that goes on around the office from now on, IS THAT CLEAR? (He stands on his tippy-toes, which doesn't really help.) Alma says yes, and Rogue leaves, gloating. Alma begins to work up a hearty rage.

At Orion, Augusto marvels at the simplicity of the agreement that Chucho (and supposedly Elvis) worked out with the union. He wants to know how they got Romero to listen to reason. Chucho volunteers Elvis, who is admiring his reflection in the lenses of his sunglasses, to explain it all to old Gussie while Chucho takes care of some other business.
