Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/4/14 (#149): Fear of the Unknown
We're in ultimos capitulos now, and the gran final is August 24.
Reruns from Friday: Tizoc and Frida "agree" that they aren't in love because they don't think of one another all day long, and Frida doesn't tell him about the pregnancy. Ana Sofia's swell friends bid bitchy goodbyes and say they'll be in touch. Ana Sofia complains to MA that Mati's dinner with the Menchacas interfered with her own plans to worm her way back into the good graces of the buena gente.
MA has already heard Mati's side of the story. Mati didn't know AS was planning a party that same evening, and it's Mati's home too. She has every right to invite people over. As for friendship, well, the Menchacas certainly are their friends; they helped them out when the swell friends didn't. As usual, his words go in AS's one ear and out the other; she hopes never to see the Menchacas again.
In La Nopalera, the Menchacas assess the damage to the fonda. The kitchen and dining area are thoroughly trashed; even the walls have been vandalized. But the rooms upstairs appear to be untouched, and nothing seems to be missing. Lupe mentions that she learned her lesson when the 300,000 pesos were stolen, and now all their cash is safe in a bank account.
But Rita's not home.
And Ahole is on the phone with an unidentified person who has confirmed that the job is done.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #148 - Mon 8/4
De que no murió todavia, no murió todavia
All the best clandestine operation planning happens in mall cafés. Which is why Morales, Diego, and Rosa meet there to discuss The Case of Rotten Rod.
Toño makes a brief appearance to help Carmen bring some groceries into the fonda and let her know that El left her a present. It's a puzzle. El texts her to say when she puts it together, she'll know what he's trying to say.
Morales explains that they're having particular difficulty busting Rod because Rod has the authority to move money in and out of the company. An audit would help. Morales brings up the payment to the shady shrink. Diego gets curious about the drugs when he hears that and calls Alonso away from Tad's deathbed to talk about it.
Tad reiterates his plea, but Alonso says he can't promise anything, especially because he doesn't know how Irene feels. "Just because you're gone doesn't mean her love for you is just going to go away!" Well said, Al! Tad just keeps pleading for Al is not to leave Irene alone. The lady in question comes in without hearing anything. Al takes his leave and Tad starts 'splaining.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of August 4 - Page One
Reina fans - you rock - more than 285 comments last week! As NovelaMaven already mentioned, we have decided to do two Reina posts a week while this level of comments continues. That way, we should avoid having to deal with the dreaded "second page" of comments, which is a pain and baffling for new followers of our blog. We will do the usual post on Monday and second one on Thursday, just before that day's capitulo airs.
So strap on those beanies and let's get back to the silliness, the mystery and mayhem that is Reina. We still have an opening for a recapper on Tuesdays if anyone wants to give that a try. It's fun.
For the truly obsessed, I have compiled the first four weeks of Reina recaps (not including the comments or corrections ) into 4 Word documents, one for each week, and put them in a public folder in Dropbox. It is very time consuming to try and search the recaps in Caray. You should be able to download the documents by following these links:
Week 1:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89124445/Reina%20de%20Corazones%20week%201.docx

Mi Corazón #10 -- Hash tag# Golddiggers Aren't Always Golddiggers Unless They Are!
Viewerville revisits Ana’s unfortunate witnessing of the argument between Don Fernando and Don Nicolas over the wisdom-- or rather the lack there of—in Don Nico’s frequenting such quintessentially depraved nightspots as El Chicago and, his potentially picking some Latin American clone of Ana Nicole Smith to be the next Sra. Lascurain. Ana learns DonFer’s aversion to and loathing of loose women in shady nightclubs who fool men into marrying them for their money. She might as well forget ever telling Don Decencia the truth about her “other life”.
As for Fanny, she and Leon have motor-scootered over to the other side of the tracks to enjoy the heretofore unknown epicurean delight of such common fare as the taco. Once back at the college’s parking lot Leon offers her the pencil drawing of her he did; mentions his lifelong dream to become a successful illustrator; and confesses that he thinks she’s the prettiest girl he’s ever known and that he realllllly realllly likes her a lot—all of which makes Fanny’s day, natch.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 187, Fri., 8/1/14: José Luis STEALS Romina, The Scorpion Switches Letters, and O.M.G -- It was Victor Who Saved Pedro!
Reader Beware: We descend steeply from the poetic to the prosaic tonight, my friends, from the soaring imagery and singing rhythms of Elna June to the pedestrian plodding of NovelaMaven. [Just chew some gum and you'll be fine.]
Lo de ayer:
Poor Blind Nadia emotes.
How dare Montserrat sell out Victoria to save Alejandro's life? Carlota hears the kerfuffle, is told to butt out, but still hangs around the corner and listens. Montserrat loses her cool: what did Nadia expect her to do? She had no intention of handing over Victoria; she knew they'd have time to figure out how to deal with Pedro and keep their children safe.
[And I have to say that I go with Montse on this. Didn't Poor Blind Nadia ever watch Law & Order reruns (I mean when she was just Poor Nadia or even earlier, when she was Nadia a secas)? Because she'd know that the police always lie to the criminals. They say what they need to say to save a life.]
Victor quietly retrieves a pistol and loads it.
The Odd Couple: Adolfo Outsmarts Dimitrio
Refugio, after spending the day chasing down guitar boy and then lollygagging on the beach, has finally thought to call Dimitrio and tell him about the Very Important and Confidential Letter bearing Ezequiel's Words from the Grave, probably including the identity of Mónica's killer, the Scorpion. Of course, the actual Scorpion, that is, Adolfo, has also heard about THE LETTER since Dimitrio obligingly put the phone on speaker in his presence.

Qué Pobres, Friday 8/1/14 (#148): Ana Sofia's No-Class Reunion
Emi tells Ahole that if Mom doesn't let him visit Daddy, he'll defy her. Ahole tells him to just sit tight for now and don't let on that they're having these secret conversations. Emi can enjoy his time with Mati, but "don't forget she's on Miguel Angel's side! Be careful!"
The papers are signed. Don Chuy is finally the official owner of the house that's already been rightfully his for a long time. There is much rejoicing. Mati invites them all to dinner at the RP house. Chuy doesn't really want to go, but Mati indicates that she'll be offended if he doesn't. MA says he'll even stay away so that it won't be too uncomfortable for everyone!
Prince Emiliano finally makes his appearance. He greets Mati happily, but snubs MA. "High-fiving is for babies!" (Earworm: "Don't Gimme No Lip Child" classic version or loud. I chose the latter video over better ones because it's subtitled in Spanish!)
Meanwhile, at the art gallery, Ana Sofia is inviting her "friends" to dinner at her place too. I keep thinking she's got something up her sleeve, but sadly, it's only an arm.
Oh boy! It'll be like Leo's wedding all over again! (Minus the guests of honor!)

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #147 Friday 8/1/14
De que en paz descanse , en paz descanse
(Alt: De que el cable me vuelve loca, me vuelve loca)
I'm going to put up what I remember, but I've forgotten most of it in the blind rage at my DVR yet again failing me.Yes, it's true. Tad's cancer is back and he's decided not to continue any treatment. He wants his final days to be spent being happy with Irene and Natalia. The man is so noble he even apologizes for not being able to follow through on the trip to Paris. Irene and Natalia cry a lot. I am frustrated that the one noble and consistent character is leaving us. Diego also comes to the hospital. He and Nat are somewhat civil to each other. She hugs him and he is very supportive. Irene comments on the emotion in Nat's hug.
Tad asks Diego to pass a message on to Alonso. Tad wants to see him. Alonso obliges. Tad wants him to take care of Irene. (eeek. How could I forget the end so quickly? Definitely fill this in for me.)
Vicente continues to look pitiful and meek. He's also very confused and not all there. His lucidity comes and goes. He wants Hilda to bring him enchiladas (which just tickled me for some reason. I'm going to hell.)
Diego comes to visit Vicente. After hearing about Vicente's condition, he remembers how he was kept in a coma and drugged. He starts making connections. Rosa tells Diego about Rodrigo embezzling funds.
Rodrigo talks with the hired Doc about detoxing Vicente so no one will realize his confused state is due to the drugs. The detox could take a month. If they do it too fast it could be dangerous. I really didn't follow this conversation very well, so I appreciate any help.
Brigitte and Paul reconcile. Sort of. He wants to know who the baby daddy is and Brigitte balks. Paul makes it clear that he won't be bankrolling Brigitte. True affection or nada.
Paul and Carmen share memories of good times. Eleazar comes in and acts a little jealous and macho. Not horribly so, but it's clear he's bothered by Paul. After Paul leaves Carmen tells Eleazar he's worrying her and his mother with is mood swings and jealousy. He needs to take a chill pill.
Brigitte tries to get her job back at Caprico. Ha ha. They won't let her come back. I guess there are no buttons left to count.
Ugh. Sorry guys. I'm sure there's a lot missing.
OH!
Avances
Nat finds the wig and slaps the snot out of Brigitte!!

Weekend Discussion: Ultimos Capitulos and What Drives Us Loco Now
Getting
the Right Balance
I
had a thought just as I got up yesterday morning about how in past
Ultimas Semanas discussions people have ranted about how ridiculous
it was to finish off all the villains in the last two or three
episodes. I agree, but now that we have a series where it's
happening across the last three weeks it feels like the pain is just
drawn out, like a prolonged attack of sciatica.
The
explanation for this phenomenon seems all about the writers' need to
maintain a high level of suspense to keep viewers tuned in. We know
that's because cost-cutting is creating longer and fewer series to
make up the standard number of original hours. Nothing about that is
going to change anytime soon, so we need to stop complaining about
it.
In
view of this situation I think it's time that the writers give
themselves a reality check on two things:

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 186, July 31, 2014—Maria Loses Her Head
Robo 186 – Maria Loses Her Head
Robo has dealt out dreck with a liberal hand,
And bade us sit down and enjoy it:
We could not but own that the protags look grand,
Personal trainers keep them SO fit.
But give TOO long a story and Televisa chances
That viewers with plus-100 IQ
Will stop coming by, giving glances
To see if Ale sports a new shade of BLUE.
Tonight’s actions are few, but they don’t lack import
Hang with the recap—tonight will conclude
Maria’s murder attempts; they keep falling short
Except for Sandro, the much ballyhooed
Blackhaired, handsomest villain.
As we start out, Refugio gets news
The scoop on Emeralda’s new beau
Erik is not the man Refu would choose
Refu sees him as a foe.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #147: 7/31/14: Ahole is a Lying Liar That Lies!
Hola Amiguis! What an episode! I have an earworm for you that perfectly describes Ahole and here it is: Charlie Brown
Shall we begin? Frida and her Granny Mati are having a chat about choices it seems. Frida is panicked about this pregnancy and doesn't know what to do. Frida is scared. It's okay but Granny has her back, she'll support Frida in anything she decides, now what about Tizoc. Frida says no one knows, especially Tizoc. Granny wants Frida to tell him, it's only right. Frida feels Tizoc is not ready for a girlfriend much less a bebe.
AS is tasting salsas and is unhappy with what she is tasting, oh, how she misses Carmelita's salsas, wow, who knew! Leo comes in and wants to go on a vacay to New York and she'd like to come with, but Leo wants to go alone.

Mi corazon est tuyo, Capitulo 9, 07/31/14 Hashtag: Love is in the air
Hello, my Caray
friends!
It’s been a while
since my last recap and I might be a little rusty around the edges. None the
less, here is my retelling of last night’s episode, in which we see how love
stories start – telenovela style.
It's the first time I see the entrada, have they shown it before? It's made of a bunch of scenes with all the characters playfully running through a maze. We get to see some of the characters that are yet to appear in the show and the band who plays the main theme. It's cute, but the kiss between Fernando and Ana at the end looks fake and doesn't make me swoon.
The episodes picks up
with the sad news that Ana and Maria are not related, after all. At first Ana
refuses to accept that her lifelong dream hasn’t come true, but Maria tries to comfort
her – she is sure that one day Ana will find her mom, so she shouldn’t lose
hope.
They hug and Ana’s
song gives the scene an extra edge:
si sientes frío /
If you feel cold
y hay mucha niebla / And everything’s foggy
si las estrellas / If the stars
esconden su brillo / Are hiding their brightness
si mi princesa / If my princess
perdió su Castillo / Has lost her castle
jugando en la arena / Playing in the sand
solo recuerda / Only remember
yo voy contigo / I am with you
y hay mucha niebla / And everything’s foggy
si las estrellas / If the stars
esconden su brillo / Are hiding their brightness
si mi princesa / If my princess
perdió su Castillo / Has lost her castle
jugando en la arena / Playing in the sand
solo recuerda / Only remember
yo voy contigo / I am with you
Ok, I need to take a
quick break and call my mom – this song is always making me cry.

MM gets ready to return to France after ditching Brat because of her pregnancy. He actually says there is nothing to tie him to Mexico so he can leave now. Wow, that’s icky.
Grumps continues to question why Hilda and Mr. T left and slowly comes to the conclusion it must be Rod’s fault. Rosa arrives and hopefully these two will escape now. Unfortunately, their future looks bleak because Rosa is about to give Grumps the Demon (Rod) tampered meds.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos 146, wednesday
Alejo is menacingly telling Lupe there is no option for divorce/annulment. Meanwhile, EmiliAhole trots up with some bit of electronics or something, "just a little gift from Dad." I think it's a Wii U, and Alejo acts like he forgot to buy games for it. Guess they're going shopping! Since they are married, he doesn't have to ask permission!
Oh, some good news! Mike is w/ Doña Matti at the hospital and the doctor (and his colleagues, he is quick to point out) has done some tests and found her to be quite healthy. But he wants to do more tests, of course. Aww, she talks about how grateful she is of the help Chuy and Carmen gave her. Kindness is the greatest gift, etc...
Matti remains extremely calm, but is insistent that she will forgive Ahole. Mike protests a bit. She has an interesting stance - he'll always be my grandson and he needs to know that. She's grateful to him for sticking w/ Aureliano through everything. All she wants is to end the resentments. While explaining, she also mentions what may be the strategy with Ahole - keep your enemies close! Also, she doesn't know what kind of atrocities Ahole might sink to if even his grannie denounces him.
I don't know what the foundation is, but AS is at a pool giving a ton of money to some women (and also being mean and vain about the money that "God gave her." They still mock her for her disasters. When she leaves they all talk about her - she has returned to society more insufferable than ever! Now she's a terrible combination of Mother Teresa and Lady Di[iana?]. The ringleader has a wicked alternative plan for the thousands of dollars they just got from AS.
Oh yay, Tizoc's still in trouble! But unfortunately, it's not for being a turdbag. The agent just wants him to talk like a fresa.
At the mall, the twerp picks video games while Lupe attempts to have it out with Ahole. The vile child realizes they're fighting and runs up to talk about how great his dad is. Ahole: well, we can't fight in front of the kid. It's his new weapon - let's spend happy family time! Barf.
You have to learn that being a fresa is a way of life, of being a condescending dick. Fortunately it comes naturally to Tizoc.
Wendy is still talking about that mysterious woman from yesterday. She still wants to hire her. And GASP! The banana king is still married to the mother of his son!
Aaaaand AS is now transferring a ton of money to her personal account on the apparent cart-blanche authorization of her son Mike. Oops, how'd he fall for that one? Oh, she forged it. She has a moment with her dog.
Mati is surprised to see Frida still eating with the Menchaca. She notices that the girl is even paler than usual. Grandmotherly advice-dispencing mode, ACTIVATE! Oh dear lord could they go more overboard on the pregnancy cliches? She's putting all sorts of weird toppings on her food.
Haha look at Don Chuy playing the video game after EmiliAhole gets sent to bed! At bedtime though, the turd-twerp wants to live with his Dad. She says no and he pouts.
Doña Mati puts a plan into action - she takes the chofer to go buy some street tacos, all greasy and meaty and intense, and shoves them under Frida's nose. Predictably, the girl runs and vomits, and Matti gives the camera a knowing look, like this was some devious abuela-trick to get verification of pregnancy.
Tomorrow, at the office, Matti is planning to bring her grandsons together in her office. Also she reveals to Mike that he was always Aureliano's favorite, but the man never showed it because of some grand plan to toughen him up and prepare him for leadership or some nonsense. She says that everything the old man did to make Mike angry was completely planned and calculated! Flashback time! Grandpa wanted to make sure Mike was comfortable and strong and capable of holding his head high and succeeding on his own, not relying on a rich dad. Now it's time for the meeting... Abuelita power!
She makes the boys sit side by side. Closer, closer. Once Alejo is sufficiently uncomfortable, she announces that she is planning to resign as president. Aaaaand giving the presidency to Mike! Bomb drop! Oh cute, she makes Ahole vice-president! That'll be fun!
The new girl comes back to Guendy's. Her name is Rita, and Guendy got so excited about her that she left a customer sitting in a chair.
The boys start fighting and superabuelita shuts 'em up! I love her being tough like this!
Thus far, it seems like Leo has been oblivious to how awful his rich friends are, but it finally gets to him. I like that.
What's the one thing she wants Alejo to do. It's very mysterious and important, and she gives him a week.
Aww, poor Frida is worried and pregnant and she looks on TV and sees Tizoc being a dick in an interview and not acknowledging her!
Ha! Ahole has no one to take his worries to but Mini and Minimom. He basically is just taking out his rage on them but they get him back! He gets a call from Wilma, who's so mad that he's left her to rot. At first he's mean, but she says something (that I miss) that gets him to race down to jail to see her. Ok, they're now accusing her of killing Girón. She says he needs to confess to the murder or else.
Granny knows Frida's pregnant.
Oh, some good news! Mike is w/ Doña Matti at the hospital and the doctor (and his colleagues, he is quick to point out) has done some tests and found her to be quite healthy.

Ha! Ahole has no one to take his worries to but Mini and Minimom. He basically is just taking out his rage on them but they get him back! He gets a call from Wilma, who's so mad that he's left her to rot. At first he's mean, but she says something (that I miss) that gets him to race down to jail to see her. Ok, they're now accusing her of killing Girón. She says he needs to confess to the murder or else.
Granny knows Frida's pregnant.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #185, 7-30-2014: Pedro Beats Amelia Senseless, María Tries to Kill Montserrat, Gracie Steals Rosario's Dinner Plate, and Other Awful Incidents
Pedro and Amelia Have an Intimate Dinner; Only Pedro Eats
Amanda fakes affection and concern, fussing over Pedro as has dinner and offering him more wine. Finally, she suggests that he goes to rest in the bedroom. He needs it, she maintains. He agrees, throwing down his napkin on the table before he goes. Alone at last, she is breathing heavily and seems nervous and afraid.
Ale Decides to Bring Glad Tidings of EZ to Carlotta
Montse wants to know what Alejandro wants to speak to them about. Carlotta guesses it must be about Ezequiel, and Ale admits, yes, it is. What did he do now? Carlotta wants to know. She says that EZ ought to be in prison. She claims she never wants to see him again for the rest of her life.
"EZ died last night," Alejandro informs her.
The news affects Carlotta, and she asks what happened, but before Alejandro can speak she begs, "Tell me he died trying to help Rosario. Tell me in the end EZ did the right thing. Tell me, please."
"Yes," Alejandro says, slowly. "EZ sacrificed himself for us."
"Thanks for telling me the story," Carlotta tells Alejandro. She seems less anguished, and Montse tells her to get some rest. Ale assure Carlotta that she is not alone and that together they will all move beyond this. Alejandro and Montserrat leave Carlotta alone. As she remembers what happened she begins to cry.

Mi corazon es tuyo #8, the war is declared, signed, sealed and delivered... lots of emotion pouring out tonight....
Repeat of Isabela all over Fernando, Fanny sees the kiss…
‘you forgot about my mom quick, didn’t you?’
Fernando runs after Fanny.
Luz asks Fernando if Ana can have dinner with us… que chido! ‘don’t like that word… you can say que padre!’
Fanny won’t open the door to Fernando, but she does to Ana. Ana tells Fanny her dad has the right to rebuild his life. Fanny says it’s too soon, besides that woman is all wrong… Ana tells her no woman will be right… never mind, cancel! Cancel! You need to get ready for the dinner… even I will be there… (why?) your little sis asked your dad that I eat with you all… Ana fakes getting sick and walks out.
Isabela tries to downplay Fanny’s reaction to Fernando. Fernando not convinced. It might be logical but it hurts. Isabela offers to talk to her but Fernando says not a good idea. He leaves turning the subject to work ‘We have not progressed in our project’. Isabela, after he leaves, says I would say we have made progress, dear.
Fanny brings her mom’s dress to Ana… Ana is so moved her eyes are full of tears… resists at first but gives in.
Lo Nuevo:
Dinner is all fancy stuff, seems wild boar (Jabali) is indeed in the grill, split in half, roast pork style..
All kids are elegant dressed… Isabela meets all the kids except Luz… Fanny tells Isabela that Ana la nana will have dinner with us. Isabela fakes not having any problem with it… Meanwhile, Luz is escorting Ana down the stairs. Fernando comes in and is in shock… (someone please help him shovel his chin off the floor…) ‘She is beautiful, right Papi?’ ‘Yeah! She is very elegant! (to Ana) … you are radiant.. very beautiful.' Ana tries to explain about Fanny Sr's dress. Fernando tells her Fanny already told him and he is ok with it. 'Shall we go?’ Luz walks Ana out, Fernando is walking behind them, still shocked at the ‘view’.
Everyone is at a huge table in the backyard. Isabela and Ana exchange forced greeetings. Isabela starts undermining Ana, 'I usually forget the names of the service', ‘Ana... that dress is very high fashion (alta costura), but no it can't, since the salary of a nanny is not enough money to buy such a fine outfit. Maybe I will switch jobs. I will take Ana’s job… (kids shreak) I was just kiddin!!’ Isabela starts making goo goo da da sounds to Luz… and singing the ‘dos elefantes’ song… Ana tells her Luz is not a 2 year old. She is 5. Isabela turns to the twins and asks them if they like the music group 'Parchis' (the boys are as confused as me... que??)... Fanny tells Isabela 'it is a group from the 80's, (with hand hashtag gesture) you should catch up and hashtag yourself up to date.
Fernando tells the kids that there is a different menu for them, they won’t eat the crab. Bruno goes to Ana and gives her a flash 101 course on how to snap the crab shell with the thongs(?). Ana tries it and the crab slips off the thong and ends up on Isabela’s head. Isabela insults Ana saying ‘it is obvious a woman of your ‘rank’ (nivel) does not know how to behave in ‘society’’Ana comes up with the excuse that maybe this one in particular is still alive (LOL!!). … All the kids laugh, even Fernando laughs wholeheartedly. ‘We should do this more often!! Too funny!’ Isabel tries to follow along ‘I would love to repeat the experience… of course we will not always count on the lovely and distinguished presence of the nanny… ‘ ‘Ana!’ ‘Whatever’. Fernando announces to Isabela that Manuela fixed her her favorite dish, wild boar. Isabel stands up to thank Fernando, but at that time Ana looks at the meat on the grill and gets so sick she spits the mouthful of water she had just taken from the goblet right into Isabela’s outfit. Fernando is not laughing this time, he is shocked. The kids laugh it off again. Then Isabela tries to win over Luz calling her beautiful, but Luz turns it around on her, saying ‘thanks, you too, but Ana is more beautiful’.

A night of gift giving Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #7 07/29/2014
Sorry for the late recap, I have to do a bullet list just because work is kicking my butt!
- Ana and Fernando arrive home for the birthday party where the kids are ready to go. The put on a play, sing songs and eat cake, there was so much candy there! They also give their father gifts,a book, an ugly sweater, a drawing and I forget what else. Ana also gives Fernando a gift, a nifty leather jacket! I wonder how much that set her back?
- Johnny has to take a job as an exotic dancer, ewww who would pay to see that?
- Isabella tries to wiggle her way into Fernando's life by offering to get him a less traditional tie and buys him a hot pink tie, I dig the color, she is then invited to his house to work on a project and to stay for dinner.
- Fanny tells Gus to never,ever bother her again, she says he behaved like an animal and she never wants to see him again, captas?
- Ximena thinks Nando is not a bad looking kid and plans to have him do her school work for her. Witch.

De Que Te Queiro, Te Quiero #144, 7/29/2014
De Que es un Asesino, es un Asesino!
Read more »
Hey all! I only just
now saw a note from poor Karen whose power has gone out, so she can’t do the
recap. I’m doing a very quick and dirty recap in place of the fabulous one we
would have had from Karen had she seen the show.
Forgiveness or Truce?
Nat tells Grumps she really has no need or desire to forgive him, considering how horrible he was to her and their lack of emotional ties. But she's willing to make peace. They take each others hand. Grumps seems moved. Nat seems resigned but at peace with their truce.
El, Crazy or Crazy in Love?
Nat tells Grumps she really has no need or desire to forgive him, considering how horrible he was to her and their lack of emotional ties. But she's willing to make peace. They take each others hand. Grumps seems moved. Nat seems resigned but at peace with their truce.
El, Crazy or Crazy in Love?
El continues to be plagued by the even more diminutive Mr.
Mushroom in devil form, harping on him about his lack of cash to allow Carmen
and her kids to live in style. He consults Morales (who has just finally found a
recent and large movement of cash made by Rod). Morales tells him money
doesn’t matter; what matters is that El and Carm are made for each other. El
feels a lot better, and the BFFs seem to have made peace.
While El is taking Carmen to work and Lupita to school, Lupita
tells El she’s changed her mind about the expensive dress. She seems very
sincere in saying that it’s a waste of money. El gets annoyed with Carmen
because he thinks she put Lupita up to it and doesn’t believe he can provide.
Carmen makes a very good point about not wasting money on frivolous whims, but
all El hears is an insult to his manhood. He leaves in a huff. Carmen wonders
if he’s bipolar and calls the Mushroom for a consult. The Mushroom promises to
come over to the fonda to talk about it. Brigitte convinces him to take
advantage of this opportunity to cause problems for Carm and El.
