La Malquerida #71, 12/2/14: Unexpected and Unwanted Visitors

Mexico Episode #77

We get a satisfying replay of Ulises coming to Acacia’s window unexpectedly, dissing Acacia, dropping the evidence of his innocence in her hands as she cries and begs, and stalking off. Uli spots Rubio who is drunk, drinking, and singing a song dedicated to Luisa. Like Acacia, he first assumes Uli escaped from prison. Uli demands to know what Rubio did with the letter he sent, but Rubio continues to deny, deny, deny.

Luisa finds Acacia crying and puts her anger aside to hug Acacia and ask her what’s wrong. Acacia tells her of Uli’s freedom, proven innocence, and bitter visit—and how this all makes HER feel bad. Luisa is just happy that Uli is free! She tells Acacia to focus on that, and if she and Uli love each other as much as they seem to, then it will work out in the end and they will end up together.

Meanwhile, Este takes Cris to a hotel as part of their romantic date night. He pours the champagne, makes a toast, and looks at Cris expectantly. She doesn’t drink, nor does she tell him she’s pregnant. They speak briefly about the hacienda administration. Este says he’s cool with her and Acacia taking over. He still has his Association head salary, plus he’s thinking of getting involved in other business opportunities and spending more time away from the hacienda. Cris agrees that not spending all their waking hours together will do them some good. Este makes a pretty speech about their relationship, pulls out a lovely diamond ring, and puts it on her right hand. It reminds Cris of the first engagement ring he gave her back when he didn’t have money, and makes her nostalgic. She tells Este that she’s pregnant, and he does a really good job of feigning surprise. They make love happily, wake up the next morning spooning, and discuss their child. They both want a boy. She, because she has a girl and wants a boy who looks like him. He, because he doesn’t know how to handle delicate girls. Cris informs him that girls are plenty tough, plus he was great with Acacia when she was a little girl. He has been a father to her, and this child will make TWO kids that he has.

Refritos:


Diego/Ana scene.

Fernando/Ana/Pablo.

Twins show Alicia the cuffs.

Fernando bans Alicia and Pablo from seeing each other. Ana thinks it is a bit extreme. Alicia begs. But Fernando says they lied… things did not start right between you. Sorry but you must think about what you did. Next time be responsible and honest.

Lo Nuevo:

Fernando offers Pablo a ride with the driver. Ana tells Alicia/Pablo that they need to wait for the waters to calm down and then she will talk to him. Both Alicia and Pablo smile grateful.

Isa and Freeky… he yells he has to be better than Fernando. Isa tells him Fernando right now has many issues on him. Freeky says its not enough. Isa tells Freeky that they both will keep Fernando/Ana apart. They have to relax to think things better. How about you take me to dinner while we think?

Sebas explains to Luz and the twins that they can use the cuffs to force two people to stay together… the twins have no idea where the key is though. The twins want to play cops and robbers… Luz says think bigger! Luz suggests use the cuffs to keep Ana and dad together. The boys love the idea. Fernando shows up so they have to hide the cuffs. They all head to homework room.

La Gata #66 12/2/14 La Muñeca

I may be the only one who feels this way, but this is starting for feel more like a support group than a conversation about a Telenovela. Gluttons for Punishment Anonymous, perhaps?

Anyway...

Very bare bones tonight.
  • Dr. Peñuela (played by the scrumptious Marcelo) is overwhelmed by eau de protagonista.
  • Pablo wants to get married ASAP, but Esme still hesitates.
  • Dr. Cisneros will be here soon!
  • Pablo wears Esme down and she finally agrees to marry him the day before her operation (and I can't help but think that you aren't allowed to eat or drink after midnight before a surgery... so they better make it an AM wedding so Esme can enjoy a little of the reception.)
  • Augie had hoped Mariano would remain loyal to him, but now his kids are dead to him and if Low is going to keep bleating about the nietos, she's dead to him too!

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 133.

Episode 133 televised on Friday, 11/21 from 35:40 - 48:00.

In which:
Izzy isn't dead -- or is he?
The search for Navier becomes a media circus!
Juanjo's sad secret is revealed! (Who knew he had a secret?)
There are two deliveries but there’s only one live baby

Navier may have forgotten many things, but he remembers he is the hero of this telenovela.
He comes to the rescue of winsome Bar Lady, beckoning her to his side and ordering the Three Stooges to leave. "Who are you?" barks the biggest stooge.  "None of your business," says Navier.  "All that matters is that she has someone to look out for her -- and that's me."  Having no idea he is dealing with the Dragon, the big stooge makes the mistake of reaching for his gun.  Navier shoots it out of his hand.  "The next time, the bullet goes in your hand -- or your head, depending on my mood, which, at the moment, is pretty bad.  If you come back, you'll leave feet first.  Now GET OUT!  And you, leave the money."

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #75 12/1/14 Nandito Becomes Collateral Damage

I really hate to say this, but this will be kind of a bare bones recap in some places. To do my recaps I watch online and take notes, then watch the TV broadcast and use the English CCs to fill in the gaps. We are having very cold weather in Western Washington and the TV reception has been terrible for the last few days. Monday night we were not able to get Univision at all and Hulu Plus doesn't have this episode available yet. If any of you can help fill in the gaps - or correct me if I got something wrong in the comments I'd be most grateful. I'll even treat you to this fun comic in return:
 



On to the recap!
(Some scenes have been combined)
 
At the hospital, Sofia tells Chava that she needs time to know if she really loves him. They come very close to kissing, but he kisses her forehead instead. Then he leaves.
 
 
The most chaste romance in history.

La Malquerida, capitulo 70. 12/01/14

Skipping the old....

Carmen upon hearing the news that Nuria was killed starts crying that Ulises is possibly in danger. Hector tells her to calm down. This is no way to fix things. He will make some calls.

Ulises is able to get away from the inmate with the knife and the guards break up the fight.

Danilo welcomes Esteban, Cris and Acacia to his humble brothel....errrrrr abode. He hopes that they will consider him part of the family just like they do with Ale. Not so fast replies Cris. You have to prove that you can take care of Ale first. And more importantly that you respect her. That is why I organized this meal replies Danilo. To show you just how well I treat Ale. Aren't you happy he asks Ale. Of course replies Ale but the smile just doesn't quite reach her eyes. She doesn't want them to worry about her. Danilo greets Acacia with a hug. He's happy to see Esteban and Cris back together again. He has always believed that marriage is for life. Cris doesn't look like she buys the happy picture Ale and Danilo are trying to paint.

The inmate with the knife says Ulises tried to kill him. Ulises yells that he's lying. The guard doesn't care and will send them both to solitary confinement. He informs Ulises that those that cause trouble end up hurt or worse.

Danilo is sucking up to Cris and Esteban. Ale excuses herself to check on the food and asks Acacia to accompany her.

TELEMUNDO Y MENOS: Reina de Corazones, Project Chapter a Day -- week of December 1, 2014: Episode 132.

Here's a little update, folks.  Because of the President's speech on Thursday, Nov. 20, it seems that 4 (that's right FOUR) episodes were squished together on Friday, Nov. 21.  Yup, episodes 131, 132, 133 and 134 were smushed into something incomprehensible.  We won't be done sorting out that single broadcast until Wednesday, Dec. 3!

I can't really tell you how the rest has been divvied up.  I do know that the show officially ends tonight, Monday, December 1.   (This final episode, by the way, is numbered 141 on YouTube.)  So we are recapping a show that technically no longer exists.  Whatever.


We'll keep doing our best to bring you the story, one chapter a day, basing our recaps on the episodes as they were shown in Mexico.  We'll probably be done with this insanity by Friday, December 12.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And to get the week started, here is my recap of Episode 132, the second part of the 11/21 broadcast version:

In which: 
Navier escapes after 5 months in the new PHoo Lab but his memory is gone! 
Estefy gets a new López.
Mauro gets out of jail free but it won't be long before his future is all sewn up.
We learn the identity of the Costurer@!
We suspect that pudgy ORBO may have an edge.
And we meet a new rival for Navier's affections!

La Malquerida, capitulo 69. 11/28/14

Rubio gets called into Esteban's office. He wants to know everything about the local brothel.

Perla and Danilo walk in laughing and looking happy. Julianita is glad to see everything is now well between the two of them. He sends Perla off to let Ale know they have returned. Juanita informs him that Ale behaved all day and just stayed in her room. Ale walks in and he asks if she missed him. She doesn't say a word but her eyes yell out “Hell no!” He says everything went in his favor today. Things are not looking good for Ulises even with German's testimony. Rumor has it that German is very much in love with his new lady. So, I think that if you keep misbehaving, I will have to make you pay.

Esteban begs Cris to forgive him and take him back.

Norberto tells German that Juliana and Andres are interested in each other again. Even if that was the case says German, there was no reason to pull your gun on him. You could have hurt someone. I lost my mind when I saw them both together at the hotel replies Norberto. They now have filed a police report. They just want to bury me.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #94, Forgiveness

Ana and Fernando are checking on the sleeping children before they turn in themselves. They open the door to Alicia and Luz’s room and see Alicia on the phone with Isabela talking about skipping school and meeting Pablo.

She’s to have no phone, no tablet, and no internet, and no Briana since she’s her accomplice. Ana offers to make Fernando tea to help him sleep.

Natalia tells Diego that she loves him. He wants to know when that started. She tells him that she realized she loved him when she saw him when they were both back in Mexico, and after the accident, the thought of losing him confirmed it.

La Gata #64 11/28/14 La Maldad

La moral, la conciencia y la vergüenza
Mariano thanks El Sil again for helping him. El Sil thinks if Mariano was about to commit an offense, he had his reasons, but he also had the strength to stop himself. Morality and conscience has made Mariano a good person. When Mariano asks about shame, El Sil tells him to never forget it since it can keep a person from committing the same offense twice (which he phrases as "tropezar con la misma piedra"--tripping over the same stone. A classic TN phrase.)

La Gata #63 11-17-14 Turkey. . .and Masochism is best served HOT!!


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  This title is dedicated to Mariano and the other gobblers in tonight's episode!

Right out of the gate we are treated with Jarocha beating the crap out of Gisela. Jarocha gets in some good slaps, choking and a blow to the stomach before Pablo comes out into the hallway to see what’s happening.  Relish this thrashing; you’re going to need it later.  Jarocha tells Pablo that this dirty pig has told Esme she is paralyzed.  Gisela doesn’t seem quite as cheeky anymore.  Security Guards have to tussle mightily to restrain Jarocha who even aims some kicks at Gisela.

 

Pablo finds Esmeralda on the floor.  She cries that she cannot walk and that she was lied to.  Pablo holds her as she sobs and pledges his undying love.

 

Outside Fernando and Blanca arrive and Jarocha informs them as well of the well-guarded secret that Gisela has just blurted out.  Fernando prepares to rip into her when Gisela recognizes him and calls him a killer.  Blanca tries to defend him.  Fer decides they will go in to see Esmeralda and tells Gisela he will deal with her later.  The guards continue to keep Jarocha and Gisela separated.

 

Esme is back in bed now as Fer and Blanca enter.  She is glad to see them; she has them and swears she is not going to give up.  Outside the large glass window which opens on the hallway Rita states solemnly that her dream has been realized, Esme is a broken rag doll.

La Malquerida #68, 11/27/2014: Uli’s Getting Sent to the Big House

Mexico Episode #74

I’m too filled with turkey, stuffing, and pie to go into details tonight, so here are bullet points to get the conversation going…

-After Acacia spills the beans about Cristina’s pregnancy to Esteban, he backs off. Then he stares at Cris throughout their contract meeting with McCormick, and says nothing. He offers no protest when Cris says from now on, she and Acacia will be the only people listed as administrators of Benavente. This leaves Cris even more convinced that Esteban does not want to reconcile, and she says so to Acacia. Knowing that she blabbed about the pregnancy, Acacia is surprised that Este didn’t work things out with Cris.
-Acacia, Cris, and we, get a tour of McCormick and learn how Benavente’s strawberries become delicious jams.
-Elena tells Juan Carlos about the pregnancy. He tells Cris that he is not in agreement with her keeping it secret from Esteban (he’s responsible for the child as its father), but in the end says he will support her decisions. He’s also super happy to once again become a grandpa. Cris says that she will give Este one more month to decide what the heck he wants. After that she’ll tell him she’s pregnant, but not so that he’ll return.
-Este tells Rubio about Cris’ pregnancy. His parents abandoned him in an orphanage, and he swore he would never abandon his own child. He feels that he has to go back to Cris. Rubio points out that this means that Este has to forget Acacia forever. Or does Este intend for her to become his child’s stepmother? Este is not amused by this joke. Rubio points out that even if he returns to Cris, Este is no longer the ranch administrator and will need to make some money, for his backup escape plan. He subtly pushes Este to partner with Danilo.
