Mentir Para Vivir #71 Thu 1/16/14 Regresar para Espiar
Fidelia is pissed at Ricardo for not telling her that he got a butt whoopin'. She's glad they got Alina away from Francisco and reluctantly agrees not to talk smack about him in front of the kid. Paloma calls Ric to see how he's doing. They're both feeling a little down this morning. Unfortunately, Mariano is in Chihuahua, so he can't be there to console her. Fidelia, feeling feisty, declares she'll go visit Paloma and screw what that uppity Matilde thinks about it. Ricardo tries to call somebody…Inésiana?...whose phone is disconnected.
Inésiana and Alina have a tearful goodbye at school. She asks when she'll see Tito and begs Nurse Berenice to take care of her mom. Music of impending doom plays as Alina slow-mo walks into the school and then turns around to wave and blow kisses. Inésiana dissolves into tears by the car.
Dr. Veronese comes by to see Ricardo and tell him about the tests Sebastian had done. Turns out Sebastian is HIV positive.
Francisco is all sweetness and light when Inésiana shows up. He doesn't even care that she brought Berenice with her or that Mike hasn't left yet.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, Episode # 47, 1/15/14: More happiness for our main lovers, though a smug Team Evil grows in confidence.
Lo de Ayer: DIM is encouraged by Tía Carlotta as he goes out for the first day of honest work in his life with Alejandro; José-Luís and Angélica buy a little fisherman's boat to make their escape together; los papás of Angélica read the the letter she left them, stating her reasons for fleeing the Arechiga Hacienda. She wants to be free to live her life before she dies. Please understand and let her go. Not surprisingly, they don't and won't understand and worry that she's sick and dying and vow to find her. There is a lot crying.
Hacienda Almonte: Nadia comes in breezily enquiring of an always watchful Rosario whether Señor Hernández, aka her semi-secret amante, Victor, has arrived yet. Not that she knows of, Rosario replies, surprised, asking, He's coming? Yes, says Nadia and hopes he won't be late. At that moment, Josefina walks in and there are kisses, greetings, and enquiries about nightly rest. Josie notes that Nadia seems excited to see someone. Ever a-fanning Tía Carlotta enters, and there is another round of warm greetings. They then talk about the fact the DIM one and Alejandro got up early to go to the fields to work. Josefina feels sorry for him, which the others can't believe considering how badly he treated her. Suddenly, there are noises and voices outside. Nadia's all in a flutter expecting to have hot, ever suit-vested-Victor walk in, only to discover it's her creepy, constantly clenched-mouthed, probably perverted HUSBAND Pedro instead.

Qué Pobres, Wednesday 1/15/14 (#8): There's Only One Italy... Plus the Other One.
A lavish Mexican-themed party is in progress at MA's family's home. AS is bien sloshed as she encourages her friends to take all her fine designer clothes. "I trust you to donate these to worthy charities," she says. Her friends figure they're pretty worthy.
Minerva and her mom gape at all the excess. Isela urges her daughter to beg MA's forgiveness.
At the Rome Colosseum (not that one, but the other one), the Plantain King tells Lupita he knows all about the family's troubles, and he wants to lend Lupita the money. He emphasizes that this would be only a loan - not a gift. Not charity. But Lupita is proud and says she and her family must solve this problem on their own. Anyway, it's a mistake to borrow from friends. So that's a Nope for Nepo.
Carmela and Wendy tease Lupita. They think she's charmed by Nepo... but she's actually thinking about MA.
AS tells MA that she's giving away her clothes (and maybe her jewelry, not sure if she went through with that) with the intent to buy all new stuff in Italy. Yes, she says, she already knows about the move, because she overheard the whole conversation. MA realizes what happened. He tries to explain that she didn't hear it quite right; "It's not THAT Italy," but she is too out of it to follow. "There's only one Italy!" she declares. She's blown the entire deposit he gave her on this party and "a few other expenses."

Por siempre mi amor #30 1/15/2014: Rumors of Feo's Demise Are Greatly Exaggerated
Recap by J Desde NYC
Many thanks to Corazon de Salvaje for filling in for me last week. Bronchitis is the devil. Prayer and Mucinex works.
Scenes, as usual, are combined
Lo Refrito:
Feo is truly the ugliest woman in creation as he and his two fellow minions flee the jail in Sucia's convertible. It's all very Thelma and Louise except for the cliff. The two minions thank Sucia and run off.
A prison official says that the body they found and the smoke means that this scene was planned.

Por siempre mi amor #29 1/14/14: Velo de Novia done right!
RECAP FROM CORAZONSALVAJE:
Marianela is with the kids telling them their situation will improve soon.
Borlas and Agatha are talking about renting and she is happy to oblige with granting permission.
Isabel and Gaby are together with Gabs lamenting about how she felt with Bruno and Almudena together. Gabs then blames herself for really thinking B would be stuck on her still and Art Dad for not telling anyone in which Isa then chimes in Art Dad didn't know. No matter, Gabs plans on moving on and re-inventing herself. Good for her.
Art and Bruno are talking about why oh why did he NOT ever tell him he got hitched (I thought we were friends man!) Art then asks if it was pure despecho and B denies.
From Nueva York, Daniel is calling Gil. with the news that he is going to go see him since school is out for a while!
Aranza and Esteban are at school where he has brought her a beverage of sorts and they depart to respective classes with a kiss. Some chit-chat with Dafne and Illeana and the main thing that caught my attention was Dafne liking older (WAY older like 30) men who give her what she wants.

Mentir Para Vivir #69 Tue 1/14/14 Mirror Mirror On the Wall...Who's the Biggest Nut of All?
Aresti Mansion: Oriana runs into Paloma’s room whining about making
Rhodalina tell another lie. Rhodalina
didn’t want to go to school today and she doesn’t want to move in with Ricky
and Marilu. They are interrupted by
internal phone call alerting her that Lucina is there. Oriana goes back to Paloma and kneels before
her. She wants to know how to make a six
year old go to school and stay with the babysitter. Seriously?
Paloma tells her that she will take care
of the situation with Rhodalina.
In the living room, Oriana wants to know if Raquel is still boinking Jose
Luis. Hell yeah, says Lucina. He gives her a lot of toys and cash. Oriana says that she feels sorry for Raquel,
but secretly hopes that her frenemy will continue to sleep with Jose Luis. If Raquel is boinking him, Oriana won’t have
to service him. Lucina advises Oriana to
ride Jose Luis like a he’s bucking stallion at the town rodeo, if necessary. Oriana says she’s in love with Ricky. Lucina points out that Ricky could be boinking
his sweet young wife at that very moment.
Men think with their richards. When a man gets lonely or upset, he will seek
solace with other women. They’re man
sluts. She thinks that women are ri-richard-culous when it comes sexual relationships. So go get your freak on with Jose Luis…guilt
free, says Lucina. Do what ya gotta do
to get yourself out of this mess.

Que Pobres tan ricos #7: The trap closes in on MA, and a party for the ages and the ageless...
Refrito:
Abuela telling MA how she faked ‘taking’ her pills, signs papers. Those pills made her sleepy and confused, she wants to live life full awake and in reality.
MA hands over the pills to Saul to get them analyzed.
Mini and mama… Mini wants to give MA one more chance, mama says he just gambled one too many times and turned into a delinquent. She does not want them to end up selling stuff on the street. Mini’s phone rings, its MA, need to talk to her. Mini: sure! Come on over (so I can drop you like an expired lottery ticket)
At the Menchacas Don Chuy and Jose his son try to dance around Lupita to get to gym to work out with a story about helping a neighbor with her sink drain pipe.
MA proposes to Mini after some babbling about counting on her for counseling/tranquility and Mini responding that he can find that counseling/tranquility with a doctor… will you marry me?.... well… No.
Lo Nuevo:
AS continues preparing for her huge farewell party. Frida and Leo ask her where in Italy we’re going. No idea… (claims Florence is the birth place of their ancestors)… It will be so great that they will be using Euros… Leo asks why move. AS assumes MA is trying to make amends for all the years of neglecting them.
Back to MA and Mini, MA still has not responded, frozen and deaf from her response. He has no words. She plays offended, his reaction said it all, he cares more about his family than about her!, so basically she tells him don’t let the door hit you on your way out… MA wants the ring back. She gives it and continues waving him out. Bye! After he leaves she wonders if she overplayed offended girl.
Back to RP house, Leo and Frida keep brainstorming about moving to Italy. She mentions she needs a new car. Leo says who cares, buy one over there. He wants to invite his own friends to the farewell party. AS agrees he invite his friends but warns Frida not to invite her nasty friends. Frida says don’t sweat it. I would not bore them to death with that party. They leave AS alone singing in Italian (La mobile??)
MA is upset walking down the sidewalk and drops the ring down the drain and then tries to fish it back with a branch. Saul calls MA, he says A-hole just met with the corporate board and they are going to accuse MA. MA is speechless. Saul asks Are you ok? MA: what else could happen after I break up with my girl, lose all my money, what else can happen? (just then a car washes him with dirty street water).

Lo que la vida me robó, cap. 46, Tuesday, January 14, 2014: I'm gonna live, live, live until I die!
"Every decision you make is a mistake."
Edward Dahlberg
Asymmetry of information: in economic theory, a term used to describe a situation in which some people have more or superior information than others. It tends to favor the more knowledgeable party.
A seller may know more than a buyer. I sell you my house but I fail to mention that my next-door neighbor is an enthusiastic tuba player and hosts weekly Polka Parties on her patio. (Or, occasionally, the reverse may be true. I recognize that piece of fabric in your garage sale is a headband Silvia Navarro wore in 'Cuando me Enamoro' and I grab it up for a song.)

Mentir Para Vivir #68 Mon 1/13/14 Two sets of parents, not enough brain to go around
At the plant Ric has a meeting with a guy called Ismael, another one of the cotton workers representatives. He explains him that whatever promises Arte Folclor made, they won’t be able to keep them for long. Aresti Breton can’t give them the extra 30%, but they can pay an additional 15% for now and once a business with a Chinese company goes through, the salaries might increase some more. Ismael wants to remain with Aresti Breton because he trusts them and so do the rest of the workers; but they’re afraid that Serafino Gomez, their supervisor (cacique) will do something against them. Ismael suspects that Serafino has made a deal with Arte Folclor; he mentions how Ric’s brother, Sebas, works for AF and also, another guy, Antonio. Ric isn’t pleased with the news, but promises Ismael to talk with the police, ask for protection for the workers
Antonio is updating JL on
the fact that the cotton workers are still on their paycheck, but Ric is trying
to change their minds. JL tells Tony that Seb blabbed to Raquel about their
actual business and that’s why he had Mike kill him. Tony is shocked, he didn’t
agree to any murderous activities when they shook hands and started working
together. JL basically tells him to stop whining and deal with it.
Tony looks scared shitless.

Boomer & Remington show their inner Seahawk! |
Now to our story:
Leftovers:
At Tita's, the unexpected and awkward arrival of Bruno and his wife Ally goes from bad to worse. Tita pointedly asks Zenaida to set another three places at the dinner table for unexpected guests. Bruno looks warily at his mother. Zenaida rushes off. Sonia's pruney old Sugar Daddy arrives and orders her to fix dinner and fix herself while she's at it.
 |
Which one of these guys is Sonia's Sugar Daddy? |
Marianela, Tassels and the kids are finishing dinner. Agatha appears at the door with a bag of sweet bread. Main Course:
Tassels tells Agatha that he and Mari are teaching the kids math, reading, and writing. Because the kids also help with their "business" they're also learning how to work and be responsible. Agatha asks Mari why the kids aren't in school. "They are street kids so none of them have official documents, no birth certificates or IDs." Agatha says, "What you're doing for the kids is noble." She offers to help them out in any way she can.

Capítulo 67
Fabiola and Piero will be waiting the next twenty-four hours for the news from her ultrasound which will finally let them know if Sebastian's baby--at first glance anyway, will be physically sound. Piero—like Viewerville—can't understand why other tests weren’t done. (Unfortunately, Piero, there are some things medical science just cannot do, and determining Demon Seedism is one of them!)
At Snoop Mansion, Grandpa Snoops, aka, Homero, is anxious to make contact with Mike Rodriguez to see if he's truly gone over to The Dark Side or not. Leo suggests doing things the simple way by checking with the insurance company for Mike's phone number if he reported the accident like he should have.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #44- 1/10/14: He's Leavin', Leavin', On That Midnight Camionetta To Aguazul!
Ahoy Amguis! Here's a tune for you listen to as you read the recap. This little ear worm is dedicated to Jose Luis and Angie. Sweet Thing. Enjoy!
We start this epi with the refried of missing money, who could be the culprit, that would be BM (B*tch Maria) and Dimwit (Demitrio), and by the by, this is a BM free epi, Yay! Word to Carlos, sorry dude! Also Monse tells Ale that Dimwit has hi-tailed it to the Arechega Hacienda to suck up, er, to hide out, to er visit Angie over there. Ale tells Monse that together they will protect Angie from that dimwit, Dimwit. He's not going to get one over on her. Mac (Macario) knocks on the door, says he hates to interrupt, but things are now ready for Ant/JL (Antonio/ Jose Luis) and Refug (Refugio) to escape, er, leave the hacienda. Besos and Ale goes.
Next we watch pobrecito (poor thing) Addled (Adolfo) looking under the mattress for the lana (money) he stole from Ale's cash drawer. Not there, sucks to be Addled!
Dimwit is packing his suitcase and puts the lana he stole from Addled in between his clothes. That will teach Addled to hide the lana under his mattress.
On A Humid, Dark Night:
Mac and his men have fixed up the camionetta (truck) to look like they are hauling hay. The guys, Ant/JL (Antonio/ Jose Luis) and Refug (Refugio) will hide amidst the hay, if they have hay fever sucks to be them, anyhoo, Miguel will be waiting for them in Aguazul with a car, best of luck Ale tells them. Ale also tells them when they reach their final destination, to give him a ringy, dingy to let him know they made it okay. Mac will help them hide in the camion (truck) and bro hug with Ale and Ant/JL . Ale waves them bye, bye.
