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.
|
 |
| 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.

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.

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.

Weekend Discussion: Your Favorite Novela Subgenres
Historically, novelas have mostly focused on romance and its various difficulties, joys, and pain. In recent years we're seeing more comedy ones, mysteries, and violent narcotrafficante stories. What is your preference and why?
Labels: telenovelas, weekend
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.
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.

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.)

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.

Bro, you're getting married! CI 07/07/2013
Okay peeps, here we go! Full recap is up!
We start with MariaA looking over the IOU's, soon she will get Miguel so deep in debt that he will have to sell the ranch to her and she will be the one and only owner of the hacienda, she will get her revenge, bwaaahahaha. Okay, Televisa writers, no one here suffers from short term memory loss, you don't have to remind us that MariaA wants revenge against the Narvaez, we've been watching for months, we remember the plot, please stop, okay?
Carola comes in to visit MariaA and tells her she has news, she will be selling her part of the casino. "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!"

We start with MariaA looking over the IOU's, soon she will get Miguel so deep in debt that he will have to sell the ranch to her and she will be the one and only owner of the hacienda, she will get her revenge, bwaaahahaha. Okay, Televisa writers, no one here suffers from short term memory loss, you don't have to remind us that MariaA wants revenge against the Narvaez, we've been watching for months, we remember the plot, please stop, okay?
Carola comes in to visit MariaA and tells her she has news, she will be selling her part of the casino. "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!" "Yes, but right now this is the one I need to accomplish my goals, and I will not sell it!"

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. He leaves Orión and rides a beautiful new car to be inconspicuous, but that is still more strange, and since Malvino and Sixto are watching him, they proceed to follow Uri's instructions.
Jesús, who is smarter than cute, quickly finds out he is being followed and tries to get rid of one of the many dumb couples that populate Monterrey. And when I say that I am not exaggerating, because they come by twos and I have seen them working as security guards at Avon, as accountants, etc.

La Tempestad, Capitulo 7. August 6th 2013. Hysterics, Sleeping Doctor, Red Pants, and A Wounded Captain!
Damian removes the bomb from the bottom of the boat. He is shot with a spear gun. There is a lot of blood. He floats to the surface.
Marina and the crew are worried about Damian who still hasn't swam up to the surface. Bagre, Oso, and Lagarto will dive underwater to find out what is happening.
Mayuya sees that Esthercita has taken pills to kill herself. She checks Esthercita's pulse and sees that Esthercita almost doesn't have a pulse. She is about to go and tell someone but thinks about twice in her evil mind. Why should I care? I won't tell anyone! Esthercita took those pills because she wanted to. If she dies, then I'll have Damian! (Only in your dreams, Mayuya and maybe not even there)
Bagre, Oso, and Lagarto dive underwater. They find Damian. Lolo throws a flotation device into the water. The crew tries to get Damian aboard the ship.

CI #61--Doris’s Dilemma: It's Either Daddy Or The Dreamboat
Part 1~~
For those of us in Viewerville who now have sea legs and can leave the Dramamine at home, we return to Isla Dorada and the floating casino just as Maria Alejandra is telling Raiza that there’s no way Octavio Narvaez would marry Doris. However, as they turn the corner of the hallway they get an eyeful of Tav and Doris in the middle of a major tongue-swallowing spit-swap. Raiza snickers and says think again. She and MA stand and gawk long enough that Doris eventually notices she has the appropriate audience. Doris looks up long enough to deliver MA a smugly triumphant smirk. For better or for worse, MariAle figures Doris is the kind of blue-blooded babe Tav’s returned to the marriage market to snag.
Back in the casino a bit later, MA notes that Operation Max-out Miguel is progressing as planned. Raiza manages to sweet-talk Migui into signing the first IOU in between guilt-free guzzled slurps of the House Hooch and his poorly placed bets, and skillfully coaxes him to continue to play.

Once Doris and Tav
come up for air, she meanly mentions that MA saw the two of them locking lips. Tav looks a bit sheepish for ummm…a second or
two as he watches MA glide back the way she came, but his attention is quickly
snagged once more by Doris, gloating now that at least Daddy isn’t there with said
card sharking slut. Tav makes the
mistake of telling Doris she’s exaggerating the situation. This encourages Doris to raise the volume
from a low alley cat yowl to sharply shrill shrew. (My hand goes for the mute. Could Lucia and Doris be not-so-distant cousins?)

Qué Bonito Amor #81 (Mex 119) Tuesday 8/6/13 Lipstick on Your Collar Will Tell a Tale on You
There was quite a bit of Frijoles Refritos at the beginning
of tonight’s episode. It does not bear repeating. If you must consult a good translation, see
Urban Anthropologist’s fine finish from last night.
If anyone
has additions or corrections, I’ll fix it in the morning. (Note: a few scenes are combined
for smoother flow.)
Rodrigo is still down in the street looking up at a
castigada Paloma. Vanessa and her
side-kick sidle up and engage Roddy in flirty conversation. He rejects her. Paloma sees this going on and ducks back
inside.
Paloma reappears on the balcony and Roddy moves
out of the way while she hoists a bucket of agua and dumps it on the two junior
metiches. Roddy and Paloma get a good
laugh while Vanessa and her pal get a good soaking. Then Roddy climbs the magic beanstalk that
appears when needed to exchange some sweet nothings with Paloma face to face.
Jorge Alfredo talks to Maria about her day “at work,” after
Ruben sees her home. She looks a little
bedraggled. He wants to know what they are going to do next. Ruben is all
concerned about Maria, but also about Susanito’s appeal and wants Maria to come
back to the office that night. He leaves under a JA death stare (usually
reserved for Ana Martin).
Maria is distraught.
She just needs to find one single proof to prove Susano’s innocence. JA
gets in a snit over Ruben’s interest and Maria’s willingness to spend
time with Rube. What happened to the professor who was going to help, why
Ruben. Maria gets all defensive until
she happens to spy a little lapiz de labio on JA's shirt collar.
She goes on the offensive. Our two
turtledoves are no longer lovey-dovey. They
have a spat over Ruben vs. Lipstick. JA denies kissing anyone and Maria denies
having any interest in Rube.
Regrettably, Maria keeps it up and JA, regrettably, remembers all the
women he’d come in contact that day. They included Elvira. Aha! Maria accuses.
JA denies. JA accuses. Maria denies. (Well, this goes on and on, so I’ll stop
here.)

La Tempestad, Capitulo 6. Monday, August 5, 2013.
Damian thanks Marina for talking to Estercita. Marina tells him it was the right thing to
do. You shouldn't have to pay for
something you didn't do. "Still it was very noble" replies
Damian. I had my reasons and not just
because of the packing plant but for you too.
We may not get along but I know you’re a decent man. "So you care about what happens to
me" asks Damian. Marina tells him
not to get confused. She cares about him
like any other employee. Marina walks
away and Damian tells himself that he can't with this woman. She so easily frustrates me but it doesn't
take away from her beauty.
Fulgencio is griping to Delfina about how Damian and his
cronies are laughing at him. Delfina
tries to calm him down, but he just gets angrier. "He's just like his father" yells
Fulgencio. Fulgencio wants to choke the
life out of him. Delfina reminds him
that is a sin. "No, what your
daughter did was". Delfina says
that this will help Estercita clean up her image if you allow her to marry him.
No! No! No! yells Fulgencio and storms off.Read more »

Corazon Indomable, Episode #60, Monday, August 5, 2013 – “An Epidemic of Stunned Silence!!!!”
Recap by LatinaInMD
Esther
gives a thank you kiss to her peasant he-man Jose Antonio, who remains in bed
apparently exhausted or in...STUNNED
SILENCE!! She heads back to the big house,
where Lucia awaits her and demands to know where she has been. Take a guess, dear cousin.
Mr.
Carlos Morgan informs MariAle that he is there to make her an offer she can’t
refuse. Ask for whatever you want for
your casino, and my client will pay you double that amount. Really?
“So if I ask for, say, $20 million dollars...?” Double, he interrupts. As if she didn’t already know, she inquires
who is his client and feigns surprise (stunned
silence!!!) when she hears Emir Karim.
Lucia
tells Esther it’s best if she leaves the ranch.
That’s not about to happen, not when I’ve taken a liking to the country,
says a self-satisfied Esther. To
paraphrase her rather long speech, she said, this little volcano longing to
burst out of her ice prison is not about to live the life of a nun, like a tree
lacking soil and water, simply out of respect for a society that doesn’t even feel
sorry for us lonely women. Ofelia
appears to feel “pena ajena” about this pathetic little speech, so she tries to
get Esther to stop. Esther reacts by
asking Ofelia who fills her lonely nights, or Simona’s nights, for that matter.
She goes on about her “needs” and says she wants to love and be loved, even if
it’s by a peasant.
Mr.
Morgan tells MariAle that if she wants, she could even get more than twice her
asking price. Really? “So if I ask him for 150 million dollars…?” He will give them to you, insists Mr.
Morgan. He tells her that amount has no
importance for the Emir. She says it
doesn’t matter to her either, and it’s such a wonderful offer, that there’s no
point in making him wait for an answer.
It’s a….NO!!!!! Mr. Morgan’s
reaction? STUNNED SILENCE!!!!!

Qué Bonito Amor #80 (Mex 117.2-118) Monday 8/5/13
Let
All The Poisons That Lurk In the Mud Hatch Out!
Reclusorio:
The judge asks Susanito whether he understands the charges. He
answers in the affirmative. The prosecutor asks whether he killed
Fabian Cervantes. Susanito answers that he doesn't know what
happened. They struggled for the gun, it went off, and it all
happened so fast he isn't sure. Ruben smirks carefully at someone,
nodding his head. Maria looks taken aback.
Street:
Oscar delivers a serenata (“Payaso”). They get paid, but it's
not much. They are nonetheless determined to get enough money
together to help Susanito.
Reclusorio:
Maria points out that there are contradictory pieces of evidence.
The judge looks willing to listen.

PEAM #105 08/05 - Delia Where Are You? We Need to Be Rescued from This Stupid Yuri Plot NOW!!
We have wind and rain pelting down again so I will post this header in case I can't post the recap right away. I will keep trying so talk among yourselves for a couple of hours. Never mind, the storm cell passed quickly this time so we are back on track. Here is tonight's offering:
Refrito - Alma questions Jesús' sudden cold change of attitude. Viewerville questions why we have to put up with obnoxious Yuri through yet another episode with this stupid plot device, that our hero Jesús has become an avocado-less wuss. Alma gets herself kicked out of Orion by Agosto's orders. Yuri who inexplicably has the intelligence to have wired Jesús for sound chuckles in the back of his car as Alma screams at Jesús. Jesús sheds unmanly tears for what may happen to his Alma and Valentina.
Alma tries to get information out of Aida who says she is only the secretary. She hasn't a clue either but recounts how Jesús has yelled at her unpleasantly already which he would never have done before. Patymelted shows up and feigns surprise that Alma has tracked Jesús down to Orion. Yuri and his confederacy of dunces look on from the car not wanting an alliance of any kind to form between Alma and Aida.
Back at Avon, Mari counsels her AARPStud Papi that he should stop playing up to Susana and remember how much he owes to sweet Chatita. He claims indecision is driving him to toy with both lady's affections.

Corazón Indomable Fri August 2 The Blood Called And Was Sent To Voicemail
We open this episode with the new improved Teobaldo masquerading as the old deformed and scarred Teobaldo (sorry if this confuses you, I've been paying attention and it makes no sense to me either. Take another sip of your Mezcal and pretend you understand.) paying a visit to Araceli's new apartment, interrupting what may, or may not, have turned out to be some afternoon delight for Eduardo (without Teo's arrival I was only giving him a bout a 20% chance of scoring anyway). After telling Aaceli he's found work for her back on the Isla, Teo scolds and threatens a bit as he simultaneously gives Eddy that familiar fish eye and twisted smirk that clearly means, "No nookie for you today
." Serious glaring ensues.
Back at el Rancho Rancid, Ester has decided to explore her benevolent urges by offering to help José Antonio advance his education. He can read and write a little already so... good to go.
"You'll do this for me, señorita?"
"This and much more," as she closes the distance between them.
I think that this is where a lot of my fellow recappers might add... Ruh Roh!
She reminds him that her name is Ester, none of this señorita stuff, and suddenly notices,
"You're very handsome."
He turns to leave but she reels him in and fingers his face,
"Tempting lips..."
Oops, it's Lucia, she looms and she doesn't look pleased,
"¡ESTER! What are you doing?" she screeches.
 |
| Oops, Better Hold Up On That Kiss |
As Juanita dusts, María Alejandra is about to leave for the casino to have a chat with Carola. Doorbell rings and Juanita goes to get the door.
"It's a very young and very handsome man," she announces and beams.
"You didn't ask his name?"
A familiar face peaks through the door, "Señorita, tell her it's Octavio Narváez."
 |
| Hey, I'm With The Jehovah's Witnesses... Got A Minute To Discuss Where You'll Spend Eternity? |
Briefly, back inside the ranch house Lucia is not pleased that Ester was flirting with that illiterate farmhand. Ester confirms that she is looking for a little distraction.

PEAM #104-8/2/13: What Time Is It? Time For Chucho to Grow Some Avocadoes!
Hola Manda Peeps. This recap will not be in order and I have combined some scenes to make the recap easier to read. Thanks to Julie, for "What Time Is It".
We get the bit of refried with Malvino calling Yuri and letting him know that Chucho is at Orion, seems they have wired Chucho for sound, as in his cell, computer, etc., and Yuri wants Malvino to keep a close eye/ear on Chucho. Xochi is dancing to her desk, while Susana and Mari are wondering why, oh, why is she doing that? Alma comes into work and is really sad thinking about Chucho not being at Avon anymore. Augusto is very happy Chucho made his choice to come to Orion. Alma continues to think about Chucho and goes to her office and cries. Augusto shows Chucho his new office and Aida comes in. She is very happy to be working with Chucho again. Chucho is not only the new V.P. but he gets the latest model car! Chucho is given his contract to sign and he does. Alma doesn't know why Chucho left Avon, and she cries some more. Since Chucho looks like Deputy Dawg on a bad day, Augusto asks him if he is ok. Oh, he is honkey dorey and Augusto welcomes Chucho to Orion. Hug and handshake. Aida asks Chucho if he is ok. He is. Chucho thinks of Alma and asks her to forgive him. Split screen and both are very unhappy! I just got one question? Chucho where oh where are your avocadoes?
It's lunchtime at Avon and Mari and Jess are knoshing together. They talk about Rico Sauve(Ricardo) and how Suave he is and Mari works with him too, well I gotta say, they all work and play together, don't they? Well, there is Elias too, but he's still married. What to do, What to do?
Ferny comes into work and has a little something, something for Xochi. She wants to know what and guess what it is? Anyone? That's right, diamonds are a girl's best friend, as in earrings that is. She is so exicted she is squeeing and Mari and Susana are wondering what is going on now! He also invites her over to his place this evening but she's a little unsure bout that.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #58, Thursday, August 1, 2013 - “The Wheels of MariAle’s Vengeance Are Finally Set In Motion…With the Help of an Unexpected Ally”
Recap written by LatinaMD
Note: As usual, some scenes are combined. This one was chopped up even more than we are
used to by now.
Doris tells her father he is so naïve and assures him MariAle
planned everything that happened at the party.
She then accuses her father of liking MariAle too. When he leaves her room, she promises herself
to get MariAle expelled from the island.
MariAle
tells herself that Octavio was very brave in defending her from Karim and she
has to be grateful to him for that, even if she doesn’t want to be. Meanwhile, Octavio lies in his bed telling
himself that MariAle’s flirtations with both Karim and the governor were quite
obvious. He says despite her physical
similarity with MC, they are both very different in soul and spirit. “Karim’s
lover. The nerve of that woman!! Maricruz wouldn’t dare behave in such a
vulgar way. I defended her because she
is a woman, but she doesn’t deserve my love.”
As
MariAle cuddles Lupita and sighs, she has flashbacks of happier times with
Octavio back on the ranch. She then
thought bubbles that she doesn’t do well to remember those good times, because
she can’t forgive his betrayal, his failure to defend her from Lucia and
others, and his abandonment. “And now of course he defended Maria
Alejandra, but not Maricruz. He surely
still feels scorn towards Maricruz. Just
as I should scorn him, because I need to be hard and inflexible to be able to
get vengeance, vengeance without pity, just as he had none towards me.”

Two official-looking dudes come into Ay Jalisco . When Mirna tries to play hostess, they inform her they're here to audit the books. One of them asks her to close out the register right away.
Rodrigo tells Paloma that her being upset at him and not wanting anything to do with him was a big part of why he ran away. She's charmed and rewards him with a kiss.
Mirna escorts the official dudes into Concho's office, where they inform him that he hasn't been paying his taxes.
Amalia oohs and aahs over Isabel's superawesome test. She grudgingly admits Jantos helped with that. Isa asks Amalia what it means when you like a boy…does it mean you're in love?
Jalisquito is out an a nice family establishment giving toddlers fist bumps and working his charm. Make that kid the mayor of Telenovelandia!
Amalia tells Isa that she's a little young for being all crazy love like Paloma or Maria, but if she "likes" a boy, well, that's just natural.

PEAM #103-8/1/13- Picadillo Means To Distance Yourself From The Ones That You Love and Paty Tells The Whole Truth
We start out with the lying skank Paty begging outside of
Alma’s apartment door for another chance. As Pablo would say-juarever!! Alma lets Paty in and gives her a
second chance. (Eye rolling time for me)
Xochy and Ferny are enjoying their date and talking about
how Xochy doesn’t drink and that Ferny doesn’t have any friends, no one to
confide in except for Jesus. They
toast for friendship, break their glasses and share a laugh.
Elias is putting Val to bed and she asks if Alma if the
Queen and the Helper will live happily ever after (and the handwriting is on
the wall) She wants to know if Alma is going to be her stepmother and when will
she marry her dad. Alma has
to take of things because she is still married to the Mean Prince. Nothing gets
by Val. Nitey, night!!!
Jesus arrives at Uri’s room and thought bubbles to Uri’s
warnings about the people that he loves, Alma, Chatita and Val. He better not tell
Officer Delia or someone may get hurt, possibly all three. Malvino lets him.
New Business
Alma pours Paty’s favorite drink and Paty is touched that
Alma remembers. Paty tells Alma that she is happy for her being with Jesus and
she always knew that they were meant for each other. Jesus’ love helped her get through the suffering as a result
of Paty deceiving her. A humbled
Paty agreed. (At this point I have to eat some crow because Paty is being
truthful.) Alma realized that she
didn’t really love Rogelio and Jesus arrived at the right time in her life. Indirectly
Paty helped Alma and Jesus to get together but Paty had selfish reasons for
wanting Alma with Jesus. Alma asks Paty if Rogue has changed in
the way that he values, treats and handles her. She lets Alma know that Rogue is seeing Vero, The Ice
Princess.

Corazon Indomable #57 Sometimes things don't go according to plan
We open with the arrival of the guests to Karim’s party. They decorated the apartment with guazy white material draped over the entrance so one must push them out of the way to walk in. The governor, Doris and Octavio enter and Karim gives Octavio the stink eye, but quickly recovers and welcomes them. Octavio wants to proceed to the drink table but Doris wants to wait for MA to arrive to see her get kicked out like the lower class casino owner she is. In walks MA in her body hugging red dress with her hair down loose and wavy. Octavio moons over her (I hope you know what that means because it describes his look perfectly) and Karim practically knocks Doris over to rush over and give her the welcome we all expect, including the hand kiss, and tells her in front of Dortavio (that’s what I’m going to call them when they are together), that she’s the reason for the party, and the most important guest. Doris is dismayed to hear that. Not only is she dismayed, but she is appalled that she could get the Emir’s attention like that.

La Tempestad # 3, Wed July 31 - No matter how treacherous is the sea, a woman will always be more so*
*Breton proverb (But I say it depends on the woman!)
Refrito: Madrina warns Dam about the impending tormenta. Mercedes sadly ponders the fate of her daughter. Mercedes wonders which stubborn mule will reign supreme, Damian or Marina. Split screen with Marina and Damian both gazing at the full moon, “What a man/woman! I’ve never met anyone like him/her. sigh...”
Lo Nuevo: Looks like Marina’s little school chum Hernan isn’t quite the upstanding businessman he claims to be. We now know he’s in league with bad-mayor Fulgencio and their side business is the trafficking of unfortunate women. They meet after dark; Fulgencio is nervous about being recognized. He says he’s the boss of this town and Hernan needs him to help arrange their “business”. They want to mess with the fish factory and they need to get rid of Damian, his boat is always on the water where it’s least expected, he could figure out what they’re up to. They both want Capitan Damian off the face of the earth.

PEAM #102-7/31/13: Extra! Extra! Desperate Widows Fighting Over Cricket-Face Man
Recap By Pablo
80 more to go!
''You are a lot more than you think you are''
Xóchitl's honesty hurt Julio in the deepest part of his heart. She doesn't love him. Jesús is drinking coffee with him and trying to make him feel better but Julio is afraid he will end up alone as a zombie, living without will and just walking around with no direction. Of course Jesús is right, Julio deserves a woman who loves him, but right now Julio doesn't see with clarity. The pain is just unbearable. Will you still not love me tomorrow?
''Take care Alma, your work is flawless and nothing bad should happen to you''
Alma, the only one who actually works at Avon, except when she is pissed off running away to CanCún with a heartache leaving traceable hints to be tracked down, presents to Rogelio with some reports, sales and representatives reports, budget, inventory and campaigns. Sounds impressive, so Rogelio slips and almost loses his cover telling her to be careful because some danger is pending over her head. The lawyer coughs and Rogelio stops but he has already said too much. One more mistake like that and the whole company will know that he is related to Uri Petrovsky in the dirty business area. That is not good.
