TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: La Impostora, week of June 2, 2014
Sometimes it's fun to look back and see what we were watching (and
recapping) a year ago. In June, 2013, there was only one Telemundo y Más
post a week and we were watching El Señor de los Cielos I! In addition,
Pasión Prohibida and La Patrona were on. At the end of the month, we
made the transition to Monday postings to better accommodate Friday recaps and comments. So thanks for looking back with me and now on to the weekly coomments for La Impostora, which I see is in its "Capitulos Culminantes."
TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of June 2, 2014

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #143: 5/30/14: Ritorna A Me
Ahoy, Amiguis! Mr. Mads and I took a mini vacay this past week. I am all rested up, have read all the recaps. I want to thank Urban, Gloria, Eli and NovelaMaven for all their fantastic recaps this past week. I am so happy to be back, communing with all of you again. Now on to the recap. I know Y'all are just salivating to find out what happened with this episode and the humdinger of an ending. Shall we begin with an earworm? This song is especially dedicated to Monse and JL, Starting All Over Again.
Ale is pacing the hotel room waiting for Monse.
Pobrecito JL, falls down the stairs and injures his foot. Dimi and Refug help him up the stairs.
The flowers and champagne arrive for this night of lurvvveee Ale has planned, and I echo Carlos, where is the rose petals and come on, no chocolate covered strawberries, for shame, Ale, for shame.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #74 and 75 US 5/30/14
De que me enojo, me enojo.
Can it get any more frustrating???? The devil writers are indeed on your side you big Rod.
Eleazar (El) and Padre Juancho (PJ) explain to Natalia why they think Paolo is gay and is possibly in an inappropriate relationship (meaning age-wise) with someone. Paolo interrupts and is upset. He denies he's gay and seems more mad that El and PJ were spying and sneaking instead of being REAL MEN and being honest and talk to him face to face.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood chismosas feel the need to spread the "news" about Paolo to Carmen. She takes umbrage at their remarks. She takes a few chunks of hair from their scalps as well. Crabette #1 sees the fight and tells La Jaiba. La Jaiba calls the cops.
After Paolo leaves, Lupita asks the adults what is going on. They tell her it's "grown-up stuff." She innocently asks if it has to do with Marita, Paolo's girlfriend. Sheepish expressions were had by all.
The police take the chismosas and Carmen to the hoosegow.
Alberto tries to get in touch with Brigitte (Brat), but she and Rod are gettin' it on. When she deigns to answer she lies through her lemon-sucking teeth and tells him she was bathing. She sourly turns down his invitation to go out. She and Rod discuss how easily they lie to others and exchange sloppy kisses. She thinks they are made for each other.
Paolo walks the street and thoughtbubbles. He is mad and PJ and El. He sort of gets PJ's reasons, but he can't forgive El. How could he?
Irene goes to Alonso's to collect her things and Al begs for an explanation. They fight. Again. (This is getting old to me, but I assume it's because it was only Tuesday when they last fought and made up. Maybe if Uni wasn't scissor happy this relationship wouldn't seem so schizophrenic.)

Que Pobres tan Ricos #104 May 30, 2014. Reluctant appologies, reluctant promises, forced celebration speeches and one overdue reunion.
Once Tizoc and Perla hear about the million dollar clause, they barge in the room, Tizoc/Perla vs Frida/Leo. Leo and Frida claim that Tizoc and Perla have invaded ‘their’ property… Tizoc and Perla respond with insults of their own. MA is stuck in between the doubles debate match.
Trofeo promises the guy everything is alright. Guy leaves. Nepo compares himself with one banana, MA is another, and Nepo now is assuming the gringo the other guy was talking about is none other than MA.
Chuy and Mati come up to the debate… Leo and Tizoc get more offensive. Frida intervenes and Perla sees her open door to throw some more insults. MA tries to settle things, even says he is angry he is sibling of Frida/Leo. Chuy says similar of his ‘children’. MA tries to get AS to say something… ‘Salud!!!’
At office, Mini and Isela… Mini doubts if Alejo knows Lupe is with MA. Isela suggests find out what Alejo knows and then use it in OUR favor. Mini says there are priorities…
AS sleeping now, MA calls Leo and Frida over. In front of Mati, he tells them that he can’t believe how they behaved with Tizoc and Perla Ivette. Mati repeats, she hopes she will never remember where the papers are. MA tells her she was right when she said those documents bring out the worst in everyone. Mati says right, that money brought about the worst. Maybe that was a way from Abuelo to put them to the test. If he were alive, he would be ashamed of the situation of his family, he would die all over again rather than watch them fight for money. MA says he loves how she talks about the abuelo… Mati says it is a family tradition to honor his memory, even the board members at the company do it. Mati asks Frida and Leo to go find the Menchacas and not to return until they have apologized to them. MA and Mati end up alone. She tells MA he is her support… she now remembers how she would have wanted him to be there at Aureliano’s funeral. MA feels guilty he was not there. Mati says don’t feel bad, the past is over. She remembers a discussion with Aureliano when he had kicked MA out. Aureliano swearing he did it for MA’s good. She protested that MA went alone and pennyless, how can that be good for him? Aureliano says he will mature not depending on our money, one day he will returned a gentleman. He has to work and grow to feel proud of himself. As a father he was not what his children could be, but MA will be the best of RPs, no matter what it costs…the end will justify the means. Mati comes back to present, tells MA that Aureliano, with his rights and wrong decisions, always wanted the best for MA. She can assure him.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #103: 5/29/14: If I Had a Million Dollars!
Hola Amiguis! Mr. Mads and I took a mini vacay, I have caught up with all the recaps and am now raring to go! Shall we begin with an earworm? It's especially for AS: Keep On Smilin'
Mati is calming knitting as Leo is talking about the ship sinking and the pirates are boarding. Sucks to be Leo.
MA goes upstairs and checks on AS, who of course, is passed out from all that hooch she's been guzzling. AS finally wakes up and cries about the wedding being her salvation and last hope. Her birthday is coming up and she's poor, porca miseria! She's lost her society friends, I'd think she'd think of them as frenemies, she vants to be alone. The family leaves her thus.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 142, Thursday, 5/29/14: Montserrat, You Is My Woman Now!
At the cemetery wall of the churchyard
We rejoice at the sight of the two impossibly beautiful people together again; for them and for us, seven years seem to disappear in the blink of an eye.
Te amo Alejandro, te amo más que a mi propia vida, whispers Montserrat. (I love you more than life itself.)
The lovers exchange a slow, sweet kiss, restrained and full of longing.
Mi amor, me has hecho tanta falta, she tells him as her lips graze his hand. (My love, I've missed you so much.)
She feels as if she has been asleep all this time too and he has just opened her eyes.
"Of course I'm yours, I've always been yours."
"Then come with me," he says softly, leading her by the hand.
"Of course I'm yours, I've always been yours."
"Then come with me," he says softly, leading her by the hand.
JL and Rosario at the café
Seriously. Could this guy BE any more annoying?

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero, 5/29/14, #72 & 73 US (or something like that)
De que tiene agallas, tiene agallas
Naughty Nurse Irma tells Rod that Diego is dying. He tells her to keep him alive another 2 weeks so that Diego can see how he’s stolen his life. The stupid nurse seems to be finally realizing that Rod isn’t a good person. She threatens to skip town. He buys her cooperation with the promise of lots of money. He makes it clear that she was nothing but a quick and easy lay.

Naughty Nurse Irma tells Rod that Diego is dying. He tells her to keep him alive another 2 weeks so that Diego can see how he’s stolen his life. The stupid nurse seems to be finally realizing that Rod isn’t a good person. She threatens to skip town. He buys her cooperation with the promise of lots of money. He makes it clear that she was nothing but a quick and easy lay.
The Brat tries to listen in, but apparently Caprico’s doors
aren’t made of cardboard and she hears nothing. When Irma leaves, she tries to
play the jealous girlfriend card to find out who that woman was. Rod reminds
her of her place as his mistress. Her only job is to find a place where they
can do the dirty on the down-low.
Morales reports back to El on Paolo’s "close" relationship with
his new boss.
There has obviously been something important cut because
Carmen is crying in her bedroom, and Nat comes in to reassure her that she is
of course more important to her than Diego’s family. She thanks God each day
for putting her in Carmen’s path. She loves her and respects her, even though
they don’t carry the same blood. Carmen says there is no difference between Nat
and her other siblings. Carm dismisses her tears as just being emotional about
her first baby girl getting married. She assures Nat that she just wants her to
be happy. Nat is sure she will be happy with Diego. She doesn’t think Grumps
will be a problem once they are married, living apart from him, and he has time
to see she is not a gold-digger.
Paolo’s papa Gino invites him out for dinner. Paolo says he
can’t since he has to attend his sister’s engagement dinner. Gino insists that
he will get Paolo a tie or even a suit for the occasion, since Italians must be
fashionable.
Rod is primping in front of the mirror for the dinner, when
Lala informs him that Irene and “el Joven Alonso” are downstairs. Step number one
for Al, if he wants to be seen as a real man by Irene’s side: get people in
their circle to stop calling him “joven.” Rodiego goes downstairs and apologizes
for beating the crap out of Al, just in time for Grumps to enter and ask what
they’re talking about. He tells Rodiego that problems aren’t resolved through
fighting/blows. (Just through lying, cheating, and generally being a jerk.)

Alejandro Almonte Returns Lo Que La Vida Me Robo Episode 141 05/28/2014
Hi patio peeps! I'm going to just cover our major story lines because I have to be up in a few hours for my sisters graduation, with some luck I'll get three hours of sleep, I hope you enjoy the recap and feel free to fill in anything that I may have missed/skipped.
Alejandro Returns:
Last night Alejandro was outside of Montse's house, the plan was for him to reveal that he had survived the plane crash, little Laurito however put an end to those plans when he saw Alejandro outside of his house, Alejandro did not want his child to find out that he was still alive until he had been prepared by his mother for the news so he ran away and together with his mother came up with plan B which was to lure Montse away from the house and take her to a safe location where Alejandro could show himself without fear of Jose Luis showing up.
Rosario lies to Montse and tells her they have a social engagement to attend, she tells Montse to dress up because it is a formal affair, when Montse suggests calling her husband so that he can meet up with them Rosario discourages her and tells her that the gathering is for women only, they leave the house and later arrive outside the church. Rosario tells Montse that her aunt Carlota would be meeting them there, she then asks her daughter-in law to go in and see if her aunt is already there, she will remain outside just in case Carlota is not inside the church.
Montse goes into the church and a minute later hears for the first time in seven years the voice of the husband she thought had died. Her face registers relief, confusion and happiness, but also anger. After a quick reunion the questions come fast, Montse wants to know why he abandoned her and their child. Where was he for the last seven years? What was he doing? How could he have left without them? Alejandro sits in silence while his wife continues to accuse him of abandonment. He finally tries to explain what happened, but only gets to say "please forgive me" before Montse leads him outside to the place where her father's remains rest, she then shows him an empty grave site with his name on it (dude, they took his last name!)- she explains that she had the grave stone placed so their child could have somewhere to visit his father on special occasions, she says her heart broke when she saw her child talking to an empty grave.
Montse continues her speech and tells Alejandro that she would have rather taken her son to visit him in jail every Sunday than to have had to endure the suffering of the past seven years-she tells him that he has returned to their lives far too late and then turns to walk away, finally Alejandro tells her that he has been in a coma for seven years. She returns and sits by his side, he tells her that the accident happened very quickly, the last thing he remembers is using Victor's phone and speaking to Graciela who told him that Montse had died, when he woke up from his coma he believed her dead and only wanted to return to Agua Azul to find Rosario and his son.
He explains that he arrived in Agua Azul on her wedding day and that he saw her and Jose Luis leave the church together with Laurito calling Jose Luis "daddy", and then he asks why she married Jose Luis. She explains that she remarried because everyone told her it was time to rebuild her life, but mainly because she felt a great amount of gratitude towards JL- after all Jose Luis spent years in jail for a crime that he did not commit and he sacrificed much in order for Montse and Alejandro to be happy. Alejandro asks if she loves Jose Luis and she tells him "no", then he asks if she still loves him and she says that she does, he is her one true love and then they kiss.
Josefina and Adolfo-he really is a giant marsh-mellow
Josefina and Victor discuss the possibility of Adolfo helping Vic stay in contact with Nadia, Vic is unsure of Adolfo and he reminds Fina that Adolfo and Dimitrio once used her in the worst way and she says she remembers but that she knows how to handle Adolfo and that she will do whatever is needed to help Victor and Nadia be together again.
We see Adolfo receive a phone call from Josefina and they agree to meet up. The place that Josefina picked for their meeting is also the same place where they shared their first kiss. Adolfo starts off by telling Josefina that he cares for her, when he sees her he sees the man he was before she left. Josefina gives him a hard time and tells him that he is a good liar, but Adolfo does not give up, he tells her he is being honest with her, he loves her and he is not after her money or anything else. She ribs him some more and says that once he gets her into bed he will dump her, he says that he does want to get her into bed but only because he wants to wake up to her every morning for the rest of their lives, until they are old and wrinkled. He continues and says he wants everything with her, a wedding, a little house with a garden and all the children god can give them. She agrees to give him the benefit of the doubt and they kiss, then she explains that there are two people who need his help and that she needs for him to help them without asking for anything in return.
Adolfo guesses that it's Victor and she tells him he is right, she takes him to her house so that he can meet with Victor.
Fabiola is scared:
In Fabiola's living room she has a little meeting with Pedro and Sandho, she is scared that Alejandro might not be dead and Pedro tells her not to worry, Alejandro is dead and he is not going to get up from his grave in order to seek revenge-and he is right, the dead don't come back to life but people in comas ALWAYS wake up and seek revenge, especially if they are in a telenovela produced by Televisa.
Later that day Sandho meets with Graciela, he tells her Fabiola is freaking out about the possibility of Alejandro still being alive, and that the way to get to her is to try and find her long lost family. Graciela tells him to leave things alone and excuses herself. At the end of the episode she shows up at Fabiola's house and tells her that they need to talk.
In other news, Dimitrio is starting to pack in order to move in to his new crib and I'm starting to think he is really over Josefina! Also, Maria gets her job back on the pole and Jose Luis finds out first hand what it feels like to have people play you for a fool. Karma is a b*tch.
Come back tomorrow for what's bound to be an hour of must see TV!

Que Pobres, 5/28: POBRESUQUI!
So here we have the final segment of the disastrous wedding!
But before we get to that, we have a little blowback from Emiliano's little romp with his dad. Lupe wants to punish her son for scaring her. Mike first tries to console her, then goes for a heart-to-heart with the kid. He makes a speech about how the kid should respect and live with his mom for everything she's done for him. But the kid would rather play the video game Alejo bought him.
Consolation and hugs with Lupe.
Now on to the fun: The guests are rumbling and furious about the thefts. The king of sumatra (I can't remember his name) comes out with his chef hat and tries to distract them with talk of dessert. It doesn't fly. That woman in black (chief of Ana Sofia's frenemies) says it must have been the servants who stole the stuff: "all of us here are so rich and good."That's a disturbing development, but people are mostly just mad at the Ruiz-Palacios. They begin taking back the gifts! The ringleader of the frenemies continues to accuse the Menchacas and says "enough with this 'honorable poor' crap," poor people will always steal."
The detective arrives and asks if all of the guests are still present. Somehow nobody has noticed that the parents of the bride are missing.
Vilma brings Alejo a document (pertaining to custody of the kid, I think) and wants to go with him to talk to Lupe. She wants to be an intimidating presence at the meeting.
Mike suspects Alejo might be merely taking advantage of the kid.
Back at the wedding, Ana Sofia gets more and more sour. The ringleader of frenemies pronounces that the Ruiz-Palacios are broken. Leo mentions that this is going worse than a greek tragedy! The guests want the RP to pay for the stolen stuff. They're going to be pobresuiquis!
Saul the lawyer suspects Minerva may have some info to prove Mike's innocence and suggests Mike use his famed seduction skills to get the info out of her. Mike balks, and Saul is confused why he would have any hangups. "Sure, Lupe's a nice and cute girl, but Minerva is... Minerva." I think Saul has a thing for her.
At the wedding again, the detective reveals that Maca is no royalty. The shit hits the fan. AS comes down on Maca with a shaking fury, the girl admits that her "parents" were merely unemployed actors. AS is crushed and deflated and Leo yelps about not being a count.
Vilma reveals that Alejo may have some property rights over the Menchaca house through the grandma. Will he try to use it as leverage to get Lupe to marry him? Anyway, he asks her to stay behind as he goes in to talk to Lupe. He shows her the custody form and suggests it would be so much easier if they just all lived together. She isn't even remotely convinced.
Ana Sofia is in catastrophe. The ringleader notices that her dress is made of the same fabric as the curtains. This is the humiliation of her life. She begs Jesus for help. King of Sumatra hands her a bottle of booze (yikes! she's an alcoholic! does he think he's helping?). She says "thank you, don jesus."
Maca offers Leo a solution: why don't we just run off and live off of your family's fortune. Uhhhh that's a non-starter. They start to let loose on each other. Leo: "we don't have any money. You're a witch and I'll never be a count!
The Prince of Bananas! He's moping in his room over Leo (god knows why he likes the guy). His dad comes in, assumes it's about a girl, and gives him a speech. See, women are like bees. They give you honey and then sting you. Prince says the venom is worse than bee - it's a scorpion. Later, when Guendy comes in and yaks about the wedding disaster, the prince is horrified to hear the wedding went through and maybe encouraged that such a disaster might mean the marriage is short.
Mike makes a date with a fawning Minerva.
The newlyweds are basically moving in with the Menchacas. The king of Sumatra comes in on the arguing pair and snarkily asks how the royalty is doing. At first they bark at him that "we're doing fine, our marriage will last forever," but they quickly get to fighting furiously. She outs him as gay and tromps off. Once she's gone, an unphased Leo says "I'm not gay, I'm metrosexual." An utterly ruined and drunk Ana Sofia gives a "salud por el metro."
And that's basically it!
Julia - I also liked the sailor-knot crack!
But before we get to that, we have a little blowback from Emiliano's little romp with his dad. Lupe wants to punish her son for scaring her. Mike first tries to console her, then goes for a heart-to-heart with the kid. He makes a speech about how the kid should respect and live with his mom for everything she's done for him. But the kid would rather play the video game Alejo bought him.
Consolation and hugs with Lupe.
Now on to the fun: The guests are rumbling and furious about the thefts. The king of sumatra (I can't remember his name) comes out with his chef hat and tries to distract them with talk of dessert. It doesn't fly. That woman in black (chief of Ana Sofia's frenemies) says it must have been the servants who stole the stuff: "all of us here are so rich and good."That's a disturbing development, but people are mostly just mad at the Ruiz-Palacios. They begin taking back the gifts! The ringleader of the frenemies continues to accuse the Menchacas and says "enough with this 'honorable poor' crap," poor people will always steal."
The detective arrives and asks if all of the guests are still present. Somehow nobody has noticed that the parents of the bride are missing.
Vilma brings Alejo a document (pertaining to custody of the kid, I think) and wants to go with him to talk to Lupe. She wants to be an intimidating presence at the meeting.
Mike suspects Alejo might be merely taking advantage of the kid.
Back at the wedding, Ana Sofia gets more and more sour. The ringleader of frenemies pronounces that the Ruiz-Palacios are broken. Leo mentions that this is going worse than a greek tragedy! The guests want the RP to pay for the stolen stuff. They're going to be pobresuiquis!
Saul the lawyer suspects Minerva may have some info to prove Mike's innocence and suggests Mike use his famed seduction skills to get the info out of her. Mike balks, and Saul is confused why he would have any hangups. "Sure, Lupe's a nice and cute girl, but Minerva is... Minerva." I think Saul has a thing for her.
At the wedding again, the detective reveals that Maca is no royalty. The shit hits the fan. AS comes down on Maca with a shaking fury, the girl admits that her "parents" were merely unemployed actors. AS is crushed and deflated and Leo yelps about not being a count.
Vilma reveals that Alejo may have some property rights over the Menchaca house through the grandma. Will he try to use it as leverage to get Lupe to marry him? Anyway, he asks her to stay behind as he goes in to talk to Lupe. He shows her the custody form and suggests it would be so much easier if they just all lived together. She isn't even remotely convinced.
Ana Sofia is in catastrophe. The ringleader notices that her dress is made of the same fabric as the curtains. This is the humiliation of her life. She begs Jesus for help. King of Sumatra hands her a bottle of booze (yikes! she's an alcoholic! does he think he's helping?). She says "thank you, don jesus."
Maca offers Leo a solution: why don't we just run off and live off of your family's fortune. Uhhhh that's a non-starter. They start to let loose on each other. Leo: "we don't have any money. You're a witch and I'll never be a count!
The Prince of Bananas! He's moping in his room over Leo (god knows why he likes the guy). His dad comes in, assumes it's about a girl, and gives him a speech. See, women are like bees. They give you honey and then sting you. Prince says the venom is worse than bee - it's a scorpion. Later, when Guendy comes in and yaks about the wedding disaster, the prince is horrified to hear the wedding went through and maybe encouraged that such a disaster might mean the marriage is short.
Mike makes a date with a fawning Minerva.
The newlyweds are basically moving in with the Menchacas. The king of Sumatra comes in on the arguing pair and snarkily asks how the royalty is doing. At first they bark at him that "we're doing fine, our marriage will last forever," but they quickly get to fighting furiously. She outs him as gay and tromps off. Once she's gone, an unphased Leo says "I'm not gay, I'm metrosexual." An utterly ruined and drunk Ana Sofia gives a "salud por el metro."
And that's basically it!
Julia - I also liked the sailor-knot crack!

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #70/71 5/28/14
De que ella vuelve a él otra vez, otra vez
Rod and the Brat make plans for the evening.
Nat explains Rod’s bad behavior to Irene and Alonso. He lost it over the fabric provider. Irene promises Nat she won’t have to interact with Diego so Nat goes back to her job AGAIN. I think it was Vivi who mentioned that we should keep of tally of how many times she quits Caprico and/or breaks up w/Diego. Irene hopes they will make up and Diego gets rid of his demons. Help me here friends, when did Diego have demons? I know, I know, I’m thinking too hard and my poor tn beanie may burst. Irene also says perhaps he will apologize and propose and Nat says if he did so, I’d be dubious. Ah but would you really Nat?

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Capitulo 140. 05/27/14.
Sorry folks. Something happened to the channel and 3/4 of the show was pink screen. I tried looking online for it and nothing. Think Televisa has been cleaning house. So I will re-cap what I could see. Please fill in what was missed in the comments section if you were able to see it (I have DISH).
Ok, so today is not my day. I wrote an kick-a$$ re-cap (well a short one anyway) and POOF! gone!!!! I don't know what button I pressed or if it is somewhere around here, but I am doing another one. This unforuntately will be short. Enjoy.

Wow, tonight we got to see the mighty deception begin to crumble - the cracks are widening and water is spurting through, but the dam will break tomorrow!

Isela is drunk. Perla faints. Minerva, enraged at the sight of Mike and Lupita macking, throws a pebble at them.

Brigitte and Karina continue to plot against Irene and Alonso.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #66/67- Mon 5/26
De que lo que temíamos no pasó, no pasó
Randy Rod and his hot rod volunteer to find a romantic place to have his way with Natalia.
Irene is in a hideous mood and takes it out on Natalia, who shows up late. Brigitte is loving that Natalia's the one getting yelled at today.
Randy Rod makes a hotel reservation for tonight. He fakes his way through greeting Irene and asking about…um…er…Tad…whoever that is. He then sends her to Vicente's office ahead of him to buy himself time to look for the paperwork alone.
Nurse Irma pumps Rod's doctor for info so she can keep Diego coma-ing on. He thinks she's hitting on him and invites her to dinner. It's so rare to find a woman who's interested in talking about coma drugs.
Vicente has been scouting and selecting fabric suppliers for Eskenda. Irene's feeling blindsided by that and concerned about the quality of the fabric, since she assumes Vicente will be most interested in price. Randy Rod asks for Eskenda to have control of, and funding for, its own budget and Vicente, surprisingly, agrees. Of course, we all know he's doing it to bilk the company, but Vicente probably sees it as a way to keep the entire company from getting dragged down by Eskenda.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 5/26/14 (#100): A Sea of Porca Miseria
Wowie wow wow. Hold onto your sombreros!
Ana Sofia takes one look at the decorations (balloons) for the wedding and complains that they are a monument to poor taste. (It takes one to know one!) That and more verbal abuse from AS induces Lupe to quit "Until you apologize."
Miguel Angel happens by and tries to get his mother to apologize. Even Leo, unsure as he is about this wedding, begs her to make nice. AS says it is humiliating, but she will do it for her children: she averts her eyes, gazes skyward, and utters a feeble "Sorry."
Over MA's protests ("Apologize to Lupe, not to the birds, air, and trees!"), Lupe accepts the weak gesture of contrition but reminds AS to respect the rest of the Menchacas as well.
Carmela leaves Emiliano at Paco's house and tells Paco's mother that Lupe will come for him this evening.
Mini and Isela prepare to crash the wedding.
AS tries to get Perla to lose the flower in her hair, but Lupe intervenes. The flower can stay! Perla offers to get one for AS. (Declined!) Later, AS bad-mouths the indoor decorations with Leo when the Menchacas approach... she quickly changes her tune, says everything looks great, and even thanks them. (Briefly.)
Confidentially, Leo asks the Menchacas of the decorations: "I have just one question: Why the Styrofoam?"

Mendoza
Mansion: In her endless attempt at defrauding anyone out of the
most money she could, Gracie asked Pedro Medina for help.
“Help
me destroy Fabiola Guillen.”

you're looking to destroy could be the daughter you had with Benjamín
Almonte.”

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: La Impostora, week of May 26, 2014
As you probably know, La Impostora isn't on tonight, Monday. Telemundo is trying to get you all excited about El Señor de los Cielos 2, which premieres on Tuesday (and which will be discussed on The Front Page).
Sorry folks. You'll have to wait until Tuesday for a new episode of this one.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of May 26, 2014
Tonight Telemundo is dedicating its primetime slot to getting everyone hyped up about the Tuesday premiere of El Señor de los Cielos 2, which replaces Camelia. That means fans of En Otra Piel (and La Impostora) will have to wait until Tuesday for their next novela fix. (Not that these shows are addictive or anything...)

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 138, Fri., 5/23/14: The Honeymoon is Over, and the Dirty Secrets are Busting Out All Over
Eating With The Enemy
In a dinner table scene they have surely played many times before, Graciela needles EZ about his dirty money, he reminds her she is free to leave any time, and she reminds him of their deal (Does she mean that she gets to live in the Mendoza-Basurto house until she dies?) He acknowledges the final point with a good-natured smile. (Maybe he has reason to believe that endpoint will arrive sooner rather than later.)
A Soul in Pain
After her barbed exchange with Ezequiel, Graciela retreats to her bedroom. She is startled by Alejandro's sudden emergence from the shadows, though she rapidly recovers her imperious bearing. How dare he just materialize out of nowhere like that, like a specter! (como si fueras un alma en pena: as if you were a ghost/a lost soul).
Alejandro has come to say he is leaving Aguazul. He has, however, one condition: she is not to tell anyone -- not the police and especially not Pedro Medina -- that she has seen him. They snarl and circle and show their excellent teeth: he has some nerve making demands on her; she'll be sorry if she opens her mouth. In the end, she says she'll keep quiet about him, but only because it's in her own interest to do so.
