Por siempre mi amor #10 12/16/13: Revenge, Rest, and... Romance?
Friday's episode was a condensed version of everything that's happened up to now. Univision showed its love for those of us on the west coast by airing it at 2am Pacific Time! Yeaaah, we love you too, Uni!
Refritos:
Sonia and Arturo talk about the punishment Aranza should get for fighting at school.
Grandma Meanie slaps Esteban for questioning her opinion.
Isabel cries over her memories of Fernando.
The New Stuff:
Sonia and Aranza are talking about the punishment Arturo has given Aranza for the fight she had with Dafne at school. Sonia sits at the tea table, but Aranza quickly pulls her up from the chair. "That's my Mama's seat." Sonia goes and sits on the bed. She says Arturo is wrong and he shouldn't punish Aranza for defending Esteban. "I'm on your side, Aranza. I love you." Aranza is eating her words like candy. Still, there's one more thing that's bothering her - Dafne told her Sonia would be her step-mother. "Oh, please," Sonia laughs, "I'm not your step-mother, I'm your aunt. And your friend isn't really a friend. She's telling you things that just aren't true. I'm your friend. I'll always be on your side."
Time passes. F-no is taken from the local jail to prison. At Tita's, the remodeling work is well underway. Gonzalo is busted at his dirty apartment and is taken away in handcuffs. At school, Dafne jealously watches as Esteban and Aranza grow closer. And at Arturo's the bond between Aranza and Sonia gets stronger.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #156, Monday, December 16, 2013 “Free At Last, Free At Last, Thank God Almighty, Maricruz Is Free At Last!!!......AND SO AM I!!!!!”
Thank you, Lord. I’m done. My personal “sentence” is complete. To all of Viewerville, thank you for the opportunity to recap C.I. When I began this journey, I enjoyed watching this novela and thus enjoyed recapping it too. But I must sadly agree with my fellow recappers and the rest of Viewerville that the third and fourth parts of C.I. have been truly painful to watch, so I am overjoyed that this process is over for me.
Note: Some scenes are combined.
Maricruz and Octavio continue their tearful goodbyes as Lupita enjoys an apparent Benadryl-induced psychedelic trip with the overhead studio lights. She’s so out of it that Octavio has to raise her arm for her so she can give a limp-hand wave goodbye to her crying mama.
Alfie’s dad informs his grieving wife that Natasha and her entourage of starving artists are back and wish to speak with her. She refuses to see them. She is not about to attend to her son’s “enemies”. Dad has no choice but to go face the music, er, headband-wearing Natasha and her gang, who insist that they will fight to get back their friend’s painting. Alfie’s dad promises to give them back the money he received for the “masterpiece”, but he begs them not to sully his son’s name by revealing that he stole it from his friend.
ShutUpDoris is back in town. Oh joy. She tells Octavio she still has problems with her daddy because of her plans to marry Octavio, but she couldn’t care less. Octavio expresses concern that once back on the island her daddy will make life impossible for them. Then, true to his nature, he goes from having just sworn undying love to Maricruz to yet again saying he must “take” his daughter with him, but “legally” he says - as opposed to just kidnapping her for a third time, I guess. (Of course, seconds later he does an about-face and says there’s a chance Maricruz will be set free, in which case she is entitled to her kid.)….Octavio suggests to S.U.D. that she return to the island and wait there for him while he resolves what will happen with Lupita. She refuses to leave on the “eve” of their wedding.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo: Supplement: 12/13/13: A Trip Down Memory Lane
Ahoy Amguis! This evening they showed a nice synopsis of what has happened with our TN so far. I have an earworm for Y'all. It's Monse's song for Ale, You Don't Own Me.
We start this synopsis with Don Benny (Benjamin) dying and begging the Padre, Anselmo that is, to go get the notary. He knows he hasn't much time left and would like to make a will.
JL (Jose Luis) and Monse (Montserrat) are having some time on the beach, their usual meeting place, bout talking to her Papa the Admiral. JL of course hasn't the avocadoes to speak with him. He's betting he'll be rejected! Here comes Sebas (Sebastian) and sees the whole thing. She explains she loves JL, Sebas is angry and tells her to just keep the ring. She'll probably have to sell it due to her family's moola problems.
Lauro, the Admiral, and his wife Gracie (Graciela), the Mama we love to hate, are arguing about Monse of course. Lauro doesn't want to see Monse sold for pasta, ya know money. Violetta, Sebas' Mama, calls Gracie to tell her the wedding is OFF! Gracie stalks to Monse's room and slaps the crap out of her, and tells her Sebas went back to England.

Mentir Para Vivir #48 Thu 12/12/13 Hablar para Aburrir
Cesar visits his aunt, who asks him to come home already, and convince his stubborn mother to stay, too. Cesar says he'll try, but he likes it where he's at and he really doesn't want to deal with his mother. Fabiola says she'll stay and she's told her mother already.
Smoochy mushy talk from Ricardo and Oriana. They postpone the good stuff until Lina isn't around to listen.
Nadia announces the arrival of Ricardo, so Paloma bids Cesar and Fabiola farewell. She asks Fabiola to escort her brother to the executioner…digo, to his mother's room, so he can talk her into staying.

Corazon Indomable, Cap. 155, Thur. 12-12-13 -- A Mournful Maricruz Sits Stubbornly in Her Prison Cell
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
. . . no, that won’t do, although much jabberwocky and wacky jabber is to be found in recent episodes of CI. Let’s look for another poetic reference to set the scene for our jailbird.
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf city, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
Through the gallows floor.
She killed a man in Wolf City, Wyomin'
. . . well, that’s not exactly right, either. We know MariCruz didn’t actually kill a man, but she’s determined to claim it.
Perhaps we’ll share a few lines from that famous prison epic, The Ballad of Reading Gaol:
The moaning wind went wandering round
The weeping prison-wall:
Till like a wheel of turning-steel
We felt the minutes crawl:
. . . We’ve certainly felt some minutes crawl with MC incarcerated. Let’s see how she does in today’s episode.
Seen Previously
Ed and Tav run into each other at the airport and catch up with Tav’s miserable life. He’ll wait for MariCruz to get out of prison.
Carola is sent to isolation as punishment for the knife wound scam she pulled on Maricruz. For some reason, she’s not happy with the situation.
Maria is at Don Ale’s former mansion, talking to the maid/caretaker with the cadaverous face and messy hair. She wants to find some of the family, but none of those names are known to the maid. (She looks like she would fit in with a family named Addams.)
There’s a Ray of Hope for Maricruz, If She Would Only Recognize It
Natasha visits MC in prison. (The guards probably haven’t seen this many visitors for one prisoner in a long time.) MC recalls what a ruckus Natasha caused with her painting career in the Rancho Abuelo neighborhood and asks (bingo!) “Que haces aqui?” Natasha is interested in MC and she knows who really killed Alfonso. She wonders why MC wants to be in prison?

Mentir Para Vivir #47 Wed 12/11/13 Tito the Thespian Treats us to more Dynamic Doggie Drama
Labels: mentir
Corazon Indomable #154 The cameos just keep coming
MC's wailings finally illicit the appearance of the Glenda the Good Guard. Glenda asks MC where she heard that Lupita was dying. Well, it was Carola and Dominga, her new BFFs. Glenda tells her they lied to her, and MC has the same look on her face she had when she was told that Lucia was lying to her. No way. Why would they lie to her, and how could she not realize it?
Juanita calls the prison to try to at least talk to MC on the phone, but the answer is still no.
One Cell aka OC aka MC, still won't believe Glenda the Good Guard aka GGG is telling the truth. So GGG gives her a 'what for' talk. She tells her not to believe anything the mean girls tell her and to come to ask GGG if they do it again to see if it's true. OC then asks and I'll quote, "Why would they do that to me?" hahaha, OC kills me, it's like she's that salvaje from yesteryears all over again. I missed her.
Juanita runs home to tell Two Cell aka Octavio that MC is in solitary confinement.

Por siempre mi amor #8 12/11/2013: Stalkers and Shakers
Lo refrito
Aranza freaks out about Sucia getting her a big present, just as Dafne warned; she kicks Sucia who grabs her and shakes her; Lucha and Gabina come in and separate our luchadoras.
Lo nuevo
Feo, with sidekick Gonzo, buys an antique watch from another sketchy-looking dirtbag. He is convinced this present to Isa will have her back with him. He is delusional.

Por siempre mi amor #7 12/10/13: Beware of Aunts Bearing Gifts
Sucia (Sonia) is gonna move in with Art Dad and Aranza; Dafne is not a total hater. She says, in a caring way this time, that I did believe-good on that actress-that stepmothers can be witches like in storybooks and she knows from experience. Her father remarried and her stepmother is horrible.
Aranza is not taking her mother's death well. In the garden with Lucha and Gabino, she remembers gardening with her mother and is overcome with grief. She runs from the garden to the bathroom and starts bawling incessantly crying out for her mother and says she wants to die since she has no one. Lucha tries to console her through the bathroom door which Aranza won't open. Arturo gets Aranza to open the door by reminding her that he loves her and that she's the only one he has left in the world...(This was really heartbreaking and I hope Sucia's anvil for killing this child's mother will be strong. Aranza could have legitimately killed herself in her grief and sent Arturo over the edge.)

Corazon Indomable: In The Pits And Pounding Sand
Cap 153
As the gods in Telenovelaland often say, “be careful what you ask for cuz you just might get it!” Maricruz has gotten exactly what she asked for and more and I, for one, am all out of sympathy cards.
Carola plays the innocent victim to perfection and gets back-up from the crooked guard, Dominga. The warden, who prides himself on being soooo in the know with his prison and his inmates, apparently is not when it comes to the scam these two are running. He gives Maricruz three days in solitary. (Ehhh! Viewerville is so over la Estupida de Maricruz and the burro she rode in on! It cringes every time she opens her mouth. Where in the world is majestic miracle-maker de Maria Alejandra Mendoza? HMMMMM???? Has our Mendoza totally disappeared? Why-oh-why are the telenovela gods forcing us to make do with la mentecata de Maricruz Olivarez?)
