De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #54 and #55 5/16/14

De que hablan mucho, hablan mucho

I don't even know how to get all this in some sort of readable order. Lots of talking. Lots of action (but not necessarily plot moving action.)

After Diego politely excuses himself from Brigitte's (Brat) pedassault, he and Natalia (Nat) decide to leave the club.

Irma brings Rod a sandwich and the latest info on Caprico. Diego is the now the vice president. Rod grouses that Diego became VP a mere month after his accident. He is surprised that Caprico is launching a clothing line. He wonders how his grandfather could have approved that.

Irene visits Tad. He is able to go home. He shows her the logo he designed. Viewerville has to wait.

Chato comes to Carmen's house and tells her he's reserved the El Jorongo (poncho) restaurant. He gives her the time to meet. He wants to ask the children for her hand in marriage. He's got the ring!

At Bro Central, Alonso and Diego discuss the night before and I got the impression he was just about to tell Alonso about his slutty sis-in-law when Alberto (Albogado) arrives and wants to know why Diego and made such a hasty departure. Diego says he felt a little dizzy.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #93: 5/15/14: There is Option A and Option B! There is no Option C!

Hola Amiguis! What a fast paced epi. I will give it my very best shot. If I missed something, as usual please let me know. Shall we begin?

In Emi's bedroom, Lupe spies the phone that Emi got from Ahole, she figures this out and confronts Emi about it. When did he get it precisely, Lupe wants to know? Emi finally tells her the truth about Ahole's visit to the school. Lupe is very upset that Emi has lied to her. Well, she made Emi lie by saying that MA was his primo, how about that lie? It's not the same thing, it's about an adult thing. He wants his phone back, Lupe won't give it to him and she tells him no. He thinks it is unfair. Off to school they go.

At their usual outdoor cafe, MA is taking a meeting with Tomas and Saul, those hard working lawyers. It seems they have divvied up the tasks to prove MA's innocence, but there is a jam in the greasy wheeled wheel, so to speak, because now Adolfo is dead. What to do, he was going to help MA out until that confrontation. Well, what about Bambi? True he hasn't squealed, but there is always a first time. MA is very vulernable right now, opines Saul. Saul thinks Ahole is gonna do some more evil. MA fesses up about that gun of Nepo's he had with him at the meet with Adolfo and it was at the crime scene last time he saw it!

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #52 and #53, 5/15/14

De que volvieron otra vez, volvieron otra vez! 

Alonso, who has been acting rather stupid lately, recovers enough brain cells to figure out that Nat’s crazy reaction, plus Andres’ attitude, plus Diana’s comment about Diego being a rapist, means that Nat must have been attacked by Rod, and defended by Andres! Damn! That must be some pretty high quality coffee Karina gave him. The truth is finally out! Hallelujah!  

How does Diego react? He can’t believe it. No way is his brother Rod a rapist (has he met his brother?), and no way would Nat’s family accept him if they thought he was a rapist (he has a point there). Nope, the only problem Nat has with me is my Diana problem. So much for the end of the Great Misunderstanding. He tells Al that Diana is coming back to the house tomorrow. Happy times ahead!

Paolo gives Mara a kiss on the cheek at the end of their shift. Aww! Her mom comes and drags her away, accusing Paolo of being the boy who walked her home the other night, and blaming him for causing their problems. Mara denies it and says it was another guy.

Diego joins Irene and Grumps for dinner and tells them Diana’s coming home, but he’s not. He doesn’t want her to get the wrong idea. Grumps is not happy with this and blames that gold-digger, Natalia. He walks off before anyone can tell him Nat neither works for Irene anymore, nor is she Diego’s girlfriend—at least not today.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 132 - 15 May, 2014 - Drat! Alejandro Just Misses His Wife's Wedding

Robo 132

Dear Patio:

I just now got here because the puddle jumper from Cancun to Campeche was four hours late. What’s new?—you guys ask?  “When have we ever been able to get to Agua Azul in a timely manner? The place is in some sort of weird space/time warp when seven years can go by I the blink of an eye and nobody, even the bad guys, ever age.”

You are right, of course, but I still want to gripe about it.

I got my DIY spy camera equipment set up so I can faithfully report the doings of our main characters but I cannot guarantee that this report will actually reflect the exact order of events as I observed them.

When I left San Francisco it was 82° F in the City and 92° in the Sonoma Valley. This kind of heat is unheard of this time of year, but when I got off the plane in Campeche I realized that we have no heat compared to that of Aguazul. I thought I would melt from the combo of heat and humidity. I had read that the cast was having challenges filming in the heat but man, oh man, I hope Montserrat has got some misters going to keep her guests cool at the wedding reception.

Everybody is all dressed up before the wedding and we start events with Fabiola having opened a bottle of special red wine, just for Montse. Or so she says. She then throws the wine on Montserrat’s wedding dress. Montserrat jumps back, and, as Eli mentioned yesterday, I thought there was going to be a wardrobe malfunction right then and there with the strapless formerly white wedding dress and Montserrat’s mountains of boobage, but somehow the double-sided wardrobe tape did the trick and Montserrat’s hillocks were blessedly held in place by the miracles of modern science. Saints be praised.

Our cameras take us over to observe Mama Rosario and Tia Carlota talking, yet again, about Rosario not wanting her former daughter-in-law Montse to remarry. Both women look lovely, by the way, with Rosario especially fetching in a lovely blue dress. Carlota sympathizes with her friend but reminds Rosario that, over the years, Jose Louis has proved himself to be a good man. It is time for everybody to move on. Carlota says that Laurito is very excited about the whole thing and she promises her friend that everything is going to be OK.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #131 5/14/14: Kids and drunks always speak the truth

Hello friends-work has been brutal this week and I'm bone tired, I'll give you the best recap I can but I already feel Bernie (my one and only brain cell starting to shut down). Here we go:

Boozy pays her madrina a visit:

Fabiola has come to visit Amelia, because it's hot out and because she's a gracious host-Amelia offers Fabiola a drink, Fabi immediately requests a glass of wine, Amelia instead offers her a glass of refreshing juice which makes boozy explode, "why did you offer me other drinks when you knew what you were going to serve me?!" Amelia asks her why she's there and Fabiola tells her she is having issues with Graciela-she is out to get her. Amelia tries to warn her against picking a fight with Graciela and tells her to leave Agua Azul, and sell her lands, she says that Graciela is not an enemy she wants to have. Fabiola says that she wont leave, where would she go, where does she belong (dead in a ditch perhaps?What too harsh?)  In Agua Azul she has Amalia and...."Jose Luis?" asks Amelia, then she delivers a crushing blow to Fabiola when she reveals that Jose Luis is off limits because he is going to wed Montserrat, "when" asks Fabiola, "later today" says Amelia and Fabiola does not take the news well. Sucks to be you Fabiola, sucks to be you.

De que algunos entienden, entiende


Hola amigas/os.  I played with Sara's title and if you haven't seen this yet you will know why....it seems an unteneable plot is about to be resolved.  I'm skipping the 7 minute rehash and jumping into the new.

Diego, Nat and the Brat arrive at Caprico and meet up with Irene.  She notices Nat is still cold to Diego and he doesn’t know what to do (because having a discussion about what’s wrong could resolve things, sigh).

Irma learns that Rod stole Lolita’s jelly but their laughs get cut short.  The doc comes in and she has left her bowl of food on Rod. Doc isn't happy and threatens to write up Irma.  This should be a warning for her but sadly it is not.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 130, Tues., 5/13/14: Don't Tell Montserrat


Come let us rationalize together.

If Graciela is disconcerted when José Luis returns her head poke and Te hace falta Jesús, she hides it well.  

And the source of her information about Alejandro doesn't matter.  (Eso es lo de menos).  The important thing is that the bastardo Alejandro didn't die -- even if he isn't exactly alive.  He has been in a coma all these years. 

José Luis wants Montserrat protected from this knowledge.  It would only cause her pain.  She would cling to the hope that Alejandro might wake up some day; she would live out her days in unending unhappiness (desdicha).

Graciela agrees that her daughter must be protected.  She will speak to the person who told her about Alejandro and make certain the secret isn't revealed...

...Is she referring to Nadia Argüelles?

She's not.   Besides, Graciela doesn't think Nadia would dare set foot in Aguazul.  Pedro would destroy her.

Qué Pobres, Martes 5/13/14 (#91): Oh my God! They killed Adolfo! You bastards!!

Alt title: A Tale of Two Guns

Oops. I screwed up a little bit. I agreed to switch nights with Jane. She asked me on Monday to do the recap "tomorrow," which of course was today, but my brain interpreted that as "Wednesday." I did see tonight's episode, but I didn't record it or take any notes.

Yeah, Adolfo is dead. Between one gun and the other we have the fingerprints of, I think, Nepo, MA, and maybe Trofeo... but not the killer, who doesn't like to get his hands that dirty.

Heh heh, it's a funny story, really. Let's go back in time...

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #48 and #49 5/13/14

De que algunos entienden mal, entienden mal

Mainly the main events sort of in order and mightily condensed.

Diana calls Britgitte (Brat) and asks if she's done the dirty deed. Brat asks Diana if she knew Diego was a rapist. Diana is Qué???? Brat nags about the 3 mil pesos ($232...hmmm. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.) Diana tells her she'll make the transfer, but Brat tells her she doesn't have a bank account. Diana tells her to get one.

The Doctor has finished his tests and informs Diego, Alina and Diana that her eating disorder is yet again rearing its ugly head. Diana needs to eat. She will have to stay in the hospital. Diana is not pleased with this news. Neither is Alina. She's ready to bail. This is too much for mommy. Alonso gets filled in, too. He'll runs some psychological tests. While Alonso is there he gets a call from Irene. They plan to meet in the hospital cafeteria.

Carmen calls Luz. She needs her cooking wisdom. There's a new fonda opening around the corner! Later the family brainstorms ways to beat the competition (Mireya is her name...which they finally mention near the end of the two hours): Special offers, new recipes, marimba players (?)

Diana's baby is in danger. She risks losing it if she doesn't eat.

Brat wonders what Diego could have possibly said for Natalia (Nat) to forgive him. She thinks Alberto must know and calls him. They plan to meet.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #46- Mon 5/12

De que recapacitó, recapacitó

Let the 2-hour episodes begin!

Tiburcio makes excuses to the Virgen for not coming clean to the padre.  Hilda makes fun of him, thinking it's stupid of him to talk about Irene's daughter "wherever she is" when he knows damn well she's dead.

Padre Juancho asks a staff member at the church what happened to the guy who wanted to talk to him earlier.

Tad places the blame for what happened to their daughter squarely on Vicente, not that it keeps Irene from thinking dark thoughts.

Brigitte kicks Natalia off the sewing machine, but then goes to a friend's house to watch a movie.  Eleazar brings Lupita some chocolate and gets invited to stay for dinner.  Chato won't be joining them.  Eleazar looks at the sketches and gets the story of Irene Cacares Designs.

Chato arranges to hook up with his "mamita" to deliver the money in person.  That could mean his actual mama or his hot mama, but judging from his guilt when he realizes Andres is listening, I don't think it's the woman who raised him.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Adolfo loses his starch, Leo gets a love poem, they'll be serving more vegetables at the cafe.

Greetings friends, thanks to Julie for switching with me so I can get up at 5 am and leave town.
===============================
Adolfo Giron continues to put the moves on Vilma and she finally likes it. He does have a very sexy voice. She's learning to smile and sashay when she walks. She goes to get groceries for the delicious dinner he'll make and purrs: "You don't need to call me licenciada any more, but we are not going to say tu, the formal is more exciting."

Saul has staked out Vilma's house. MA sneaks up (disguised in - A HAT). Hearing that the police have been hunting for MA in the barrio, Saul offers his own house as a hideout, but MA doesn't want to leave Alejo a free field with Lupe.

They watch Wilma leave. Saul: "Look she is smiling, I haven't seen that in years!" MA pretends to be a delivery guy (in his HAT) and convinces a neighbor to let him through the gate. He sneaks upstairs and pushes his phone number under the door. He tells Giron: "We're in the same boat, you're a fugitive too, we have a mutual enemy. And you KNOW I'm innocent." "Yes, but it's my neck. I can't help you." MA is disappointed and leaves.

Chapter 129: Touch of Evil

Mendoza Mansion: Gracie Mendoza sat on the couch, ruminating about the consequences of Josefina Valverde's return to Aguazul. She had never liked her and had never been honest about her reasons for this hatred, even with herself. Now she was wondering what revenge Josefina was planning by defying her demand to clam up about Alejandro Almonte being alive. She didn't have a lot of time to think about this because Fabiola Guillen and Sandro Narvaez arrived and barged in.

Outdoor Café: Amelia explained to José Luis that she had married Pedro Medina under some very special conditions, which was to say that the marriage was for the convenience of appearances.

Que pobres tan ricos, #89 09 May 2014 MA, Adolfo and even Tizoc have a moment to remember

We return to Lupe picking up Emiliano and MA finding them there… Lupe goes back in the school for a moment and MA uses the opportunity to ask Emiliano why he is lying to his mother. Emiliano says he is just finding it fun to keep the secret with A-hole. Emi asks MA not to tell Lupe. MA says no I won’t tell her, but you will, because you know it is not right to keep that information from her. I will wait until you tell her yourself.


Cop Jennifer is in car asking around La Nopalera with a drawn picture of MA if anyone has seen him. First she asks a girl dressed as clown, then she asks Tomas… Tomas fakes not knowing him and even confusing him with a novella star (again the reference to novellas).

A-hole is giving Vilma some orders, notices she is not really focused on what they are doing, Vilma receives a cell phone call, its Adolfo. She won’t answer in front of A-hole, Ahole notes that she seems to have her mind elsewhere. She comes up with the excuse of her moon/venus/planets lining up in her favor. She steps out to call Adolfo back. As Vilma is talking to Adolfo and he is asking her to stop by the grocery store to get him razor and shaving crème, Mini overhears Vilma on phone, finds out Adolfo Giron is staying at Vilma’s. Later Mini discusses with Isela whether or not she should tell MA about Adolfo’s whereabouts.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #45- Thu 5/9

De que hubieron muchas emociones, hubieron muchas emociones

Irene lays down the law and tells Natalia she's not doing herself OR Brigitte any favors covering up for her.  Natalia says she does it because Brigitte has always thought Natalia is the favorite and she knows Brigitte's insecure.  Irene says Brigitte's going to have to get ahead on her own merits and Natalia's silence isn't the way to fix things.  Irene's going to talk to Brigitte and if her attitude doesn't change, then she'll have to fire her.

Brigitte runs into a classmate at the mall and says she hasn't been around lately because she's been doing her "community service" which takes all day.  She complains about being "exploited" and paid a "pittance" at Caprico, but her classmate says most places don't even pay, so Brigitte's lucky.  Brigitte accepts her classmate's invitation to have coffee and complain about Natalia, who she's having SUCH a difficult time putting up with.  Yeah, 'cause Natalia's such a hateful, manipulative, scheming cow.

Natalia brings Diego to the fonda for lunch.  He's dying to try the empanadas.

The world according to Brigitte: Natalia has always been jealous of her, Irene's an idiot for believing in her, Carmen's in her pocket as well.  Diana, avoiding a bookstore, sits at a table behind Brigitte and gets to hear her delusional diatribe.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #112/Mexico #151 FIN- That Sucked (™ tofie)

It has been a pleasure to be on this team. I have really enjoyed the show, but mostly I've enjoyed the conversation and comments. I looked forward to tofie's daily lists and I appreciated CD's Dead Pool list. Special thanks to Tablet Jefa who was a great leader. She also covered for me several Friday nights. Thank you xlnt for your hilarious pictures. Thanks Corazon for "fArt". It's probably my all time favorite nickname. Thank you for your work J desde NYC! I will be recapping De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero and looking forward to watching La Gata (I hope the rumors are true that it will be here in July!)

Fernando (Feo) gives Arturo (fArt ™ Corazon), Isabel (Isa) and Aranza (Ara) time to say their goodbyes. He takes Sonia out of the cell. Sonia starts telling him she loves him and he says he loves her, too. Outside he shows Sonia 4 graves and tells her who each one is for: Arturo, Aranza, Isabel and YOU! Goodbye, Sonia. She starts blubbering and telling him she'd never betray him. She loves him! They're partners! Feo tells her she betrayed him when she fell for Fabricio (Fab.) She swears she didn't love Fab. He was just part of her plan. She begs FEo not to kill her. They have a son together!!

Esteban (Este) arrives at the lair. He calls Agente Rosas and gives him directions.

Sonia continues to beg Feo to spare her. She kisses him and he shoots. Este hears the shots, as do the prisoners inside. It sends Ara into a panic. Este tells Agente Rosas about the shots. The police officer tells him NOT to enter the property. Este ignores him. He's goin' in!!!

De que hay opciones, hay opciones

Don't worry about your little wardrobe malfunction, Brigitte.  "I didn't see anything.  I've already forgotten."  She finally stops her relentless and feeble attempt at seduction when Irene and Natalia come back from the copy shop.

Paolo gets the job, to the delight of his new love interest.

Diego complains to the ladies about his crappy severance pay and his plans to sue.  He's planning to use the money to finance the clothing line.  Irene knows exactly what the old goat is up to.  Natalia is alarmed to hear that Diego is going to leave the house…"But what about Diana?"  Natalia…there is such a thing as being too good!

From the kitchen, Irene explains to Alonso that she's going to have dinner with Tad.  He gets whiney.  That is not attractive, Alonso.

Diego's bags are packed.  He's got no intention of living under the same roof as his lyin' grandpa and his cheatin' soon-to-be-ex-wife.  Diana gets tipped off and sends Alina to threaten him.  Diana joins them, whining about not wanting to be locked up.  Diego explains to Vicente it's for the health of the baby.  He calls their bluff and says "Take her if you want to.  I'll figure out how to get my child back."  Diana and Alina head upstairs to pack.
