Amores con Trampa #60 Facu shows the neanderthal genes in his ways of getting Santee out... Ale returns home but she can't trust Isa
IsaBella upset, very worried about Alejandra’s whereabouts.
Grandma and Maria talk about where Ale could be. Maria finds Alejandra in the Cow area. Seems she
slept the night there. They bring Ale inside, suddenly she is surrounded by all
the Carmonas. She asks if she can call Maria ‘auntie’ and Grandpa ‘abuelo’.
They are fine and glad with it. Gusana
asks Ale if she is mad about what she had told Andres. Ale says no. Jacinto
says if Andres does not notice her he is a dumb a__. Ale looks at Jacinto with gratitude. Grandpa wants Jacinto to sing a corrido to
Ale to lift her spirits. She says no need.
Grandpa insists. Jacinto climbs
on the chair to set up. But he wants to
be alone with her when he sings it. They
joke around about Facu not really being good for singing (LOL!). Santee and Isabella come in running upset. Ale
yells at Isa to leave her alone. But they want Ale to come back home with them
right away. They grab Ale and Santee hugs her. They are very grateful with the
Carmonas. Maria says just go take care of her.
At Valencias’ Isabella starts nagging at Ale… first you have
to take a bath. Rocio rolls her eyes and face at that comment. Santee is only glad she is ok and back home. Isabella insists in her taking a bath. Now it
is Feli’s turn to protest loudly to Isabella. Rocio adds that Ale was cold all
night. Santee wants Isabella to fix her up a warm soup or tea. Isa reacts ‘excuse me?... you are right,
sometimes I hate myself.. please forgive me dear…’ (I can’t believe she
insisted a third time that Ale take a bath).
Santee tells Isabella that she needs to take care of Ale. He has to go deal with the issue of Facu
having bought the boutique. Ale gets nervous at their intent to leave her alone
with Isabella. Santee tells Ale that it is time her ‘mom’ do what she should. Isabella
also protests the plan. Rocio tells Ale
all she has to do is rest, she won’t go to school today. Santee asks Ale again
to let her ‘mom’ take care of her. Feli
hugs Ale before he, Santee and Rocio leave. Ale looks very fearful. Isabella tells her ‘I love you with all my
heart… even if you don’t believe it…’
She finally hugs Ale (‘bout time,
woman!”)
At Carmonas kitchen Grandma talks to Gusana and Jacinto that
it is good that Ale is finally home and safe.
Grandma says next time they need to speak up sooner about any issues
with Ale. Jacinto says he will be closer
to Ale all the time.
At their bedroom, Maria keeps worrying about Ale’s face when
Isabella showed up. If any of her kids looked at her like that she would
die. Facu says don’t worry so much about
her. He says Isabella is a bit out of it
(loose screws), that is why she goes around like a freaked goat hopping around
all over. Maria says Isabella warned her
she would not stop until Facu was with her. Facu reassures her he only has eyes
for her. Maria says she knows, but she
feels bad for Santee who has to withstand Isabella. Facu says Santee just needs
to spend more time at home to watch her.
Maria keeps talking about Santee and Facu gets angry. Maria suggests they give Santee a hand… Facu
has an idea about that…

Que Te Perdone Dios #107- Two Weddings and a Blind Secret Weapon
Renata enjoys seeing her property again after 25+ years. In
the fields she flashes back to her younger self, strolling about, picking
grapes and eating them as those around her toil to maintain her estate. Inside
the Hacienda, she remembers telling her dad about Pablo, being summarily
slapped and dragged around by the hair. Pre-Crazy Con makes an appearance. It
seems that in each place Ren sees anew, she recalls events that happened there.
In the present, Abi tucks her into bed. As soon as Abi leaves, Ren rushes to
her armoire and pulls out a box of keepsakes, like Abi’s bootie and Pablo’s
bandana, which she inhales deeply.
At the hospital, Diana tells Mat she wants to see the baby,
so that she can no longer be criticized for not having seen the baby. Diana,
the point is that you love the baby, not merely see him, so you may still be
criticized. Just giving you a head’s up.
Meanwhile, Abi remembers Mateo’s stoopid plea, that she
forget him and go back with Diego. I detest this, how since he has finally made
up his own mind about what life he will live, he must also make up her mind. He
needs to get her squared away for his own benefit, not for hers, since he’s
sending her to a loveless sham of a marriage. Dude, you made your bed, so go
lie in it and let Abi figure out her own life. Not that I believe she’s capable
of that, but it’s the principle of the matter.

La sombra del pasado #88 6/18/15 This Is Where the Cowboy Rides Away
Title inspired by George Straight. Don't judge.
Wow what a full episode. I had every intention of being all summary and snark….but there didn’t seem to be too many snark-o-tunities. Heavy stuff.
Lets get right to it, shall we? (Some scenes are combined or omitted.)
Flavia gives Adelina and Joaquin the slow clap. But it’s not a good thing. She’s pissed. Joaquin realizes they need to talk and asks Ray to go with Adelina for a little walk. Ray wants to stay with his mother and Flavia is not inclined to let the boy go off with Adelina, either. Joaquin asks if she really wants to do this in front of the child. Flavia sends Ray off with Adelina (thank goodness.) Adelina and Ray will go to the park and get some ice cream.
Aldonza goes to see Renato. Before their pending conversation, she has a huge favor. Em is in jail for public drunkenness and threatening the arresting officers. She wants Renato’s help in getting Em out. Renato just gives her a cold, silent stare. Aldonza says if he's mad then Pato and Silvia can do it. Renato says they aren’t around. Aldonza surmises that Ren and Silvia got into a fight. He confirms it and says Silvia took her things and left. Aldonza encourages him to talk to Silvia and set things right. Renato eventually agrees to help Em. Aldonza makes it clear again that they can only be friends. She doesn’t want to lose his friendship. Did anyone get a petulant child vibe from Renato?

Lo Imperdonable #23 Wed 6/17/15 “Forgive the Psycho Killer, Condemn Your Loving Wife – Now That’s Unforgiveable!!!”
(I skipped the one repeated scene; also, several scenes are
combined.)
The Prado Castelo
Mansion (outskirts of Mexico City). Salma returns with Malena’s shawl and, as
expected, Botel doesn’t get a chance to show Malena the picture of young Vero. Jorge comes and informs them that the
chauffeur is ready to take them back to their hotel. After they leave, Jorge tells Salma that he
likes Botel’s directness, which is good for business. He also really liked Malena, and there were
moments when she reminded him of someone, but he can’t quite figure out who. (Veronica perhaps?!)
The San Telmo Mansion Hovel (Mina Escondida). As Martin continues to delight the ladies of
the Patio with his bare torso, he and Vero are having a surprisingly calm
moment chatting in bed, with him telling her that aunt Salma should have helped
her overcome her mother’s absence. Vero
rationalizes Salma’s behavior, saying it couldn’t happen because Salma had a
preference for Vsnake, plus she sent her to a boarding school overseas so she
could study to become a proper society girl.
Martin wonders if she was ever sad there. Vero laughs in a sad way and says she sometimes cried
while she showered, and if any friends noticed her red eyes she would just say
she got shampoo in her eyes. They both
smile and for a moment we almost forget that all he wants to do is destroy her.

La Sombra del Pasado #87 - Wed 6/17 - A Haunting in Santa Lucia
So Cande said that she heard that Aldonza was, like, totally kissing her lawyer. But Cris doesn't believe her. Cande dares him to ask Aldonza…or Silvia, even. Cris won't be badgered into doing it. No offense to badgers. Cris points out to Cande that she and Severiano have earned his distrust. He's especially not going to give her the satisfaction of calling in front of her. Cande leaves, threatening to send Valeria in. Pobre de Cris…and he can't even get up and lock the door.
The engineer talks about how he would divert the water from near the waterfall. "¡Me lleva!" Sev thought bubbles (short for "me lleva el diablo"…British dudes would say "Devil take it!"…I'd say, "Aw, FFS!") Sev nixes that idea, on account of it being Simoneta's watery grave. He pays the guy his advance and it's adios ingeniero!

Lo Imperdonable #22 Tue 6/16/15 Stop with the crying!
*Ahem* Let's get this party started!
Okay, we start tonight's episode with Manuel asking Grandpa Cres to get him out of jail, he's learned his lesson! He follows this up by telling gramps that it was all that woman's fault for throwing herself at him. The f*ck? Clearly this worm has not learned his lesson. Gramps tells him that there's nothing he can do. Manuel does not give up, first he says he can't stay in jail because who will look after the mine? When Cres tells him he'll figure it out Manuel tries to get Cres to help him break out of jail because he (Manuel) is the last Alvarez left, without him the whole family line dies (good!).
Cres tells him he can't help, if he does he too will end up in jail and that's not gonna happen. He tells Manuel he is disappointed in him and to take his punishment like a man. Once Cres is out of earshot Manuel says that he will never forgive the old man for not helping him. Manuel's day gets worse when he asks a police officer for a beer, the officer tells him that's a no-go and Manuel is all like "just wait till I get out of here!".

Recap courtesy of HellaShelle
Main points:Lola and Irma tells Aldonza and Adelina Mari’s version of the story with Eman. They don’t believe it. Eman gets sloshed. The cops go to Joaquin looking for Flavia in connection with Adriano for Lardo’s murder. Sev tells Cris about Cande and PJ, but Cris doesn’t really care. Mari has regrets about what she did, but Val reinforces her evil ways. Silvia’s left SL! Cande tells Cris that Aldie and Renato kissed.
Fuller summary: Sev’s intense grossness is repeated, but apparently it’s just a power play for Aldonza’s benefit because after she walks away and he wipes his face disgustedly.

Bro, you're a hot mess La Sombra Del Pasado #85 06/15/2015
Confession Time: While I still dig Renato I have now developed a crush on Padre Jeronimo, don't judge me!
Now your recap:
We get to see a replay of Sev getting rid of Simoneta's body, and we see his arrival at Las Animas where Dominga and Mel are waiting for him to let him know that his wife has been trying to reach him. They both note that something about Sev looks off, he's sweating even though it's cold out and he just looks out of it. Yep, committing murder will do that to you. Mel tells Dom that whatever is going on is none of their concern.
At the hospital Candela is throwing a fit because she can't get a hold of her husband, she tells Cris that he's probably off with his whore-which is technically true. He tells her that he's probably just busy with work stuff but she says that nothing is more important than being at the hospital with him.

Lo Imperdonable #21 Mon 6/15/15 I liked you better when you were delirious, Crazy Marty.
Nanciyaga knows her stuff.
Even before the padre shows up with the penicillin, the herbal remedies have taken effect and Crazy Marty's fever has broken. He still has a large green leaf draped rakishly over his brow and he is hurting from the big owie in his belly, but he is recovering his paranoia.
In his conversation with the padre, he denies that his defense of Verónica is proof that he loves her – he would have done the same for anyone. And yes, maybe she DOES love him, but she's still going to get what's coming to her.
Vero won't leave Marty's side. In the night, he actually takes pity on her and invites her into his bed so she can get some sleep. As they snuggle, he thought-bubbles his wish that things could always be like this and he didn't have to live poised between love and hate.

Amores con trampa #56 and #57 6/15/15 and 6/16/15
Right to the new! I tried to do this without any captions (Spanish), so y'all will need to help me out and fill in what I missed.)
Fac pulls the animal control guys over to talk, explaining that the family belongs to the order of Franciscans. The animal guys don’t know what that is. (Really?) Perpetua adds “of Assisi” and then frets about what is going to happen.
Maria gives a tour of the house and points out that the ducks share the pool with the family. Maria insists the animals are happy with the family. Perpetua worries about how long they’ve been looking at the animals.
An animal control guy asks about Margarito. Susana is almost impossible for me to understand. All I catch is that the pig is named Margarito. So I cheat and go back to the captions. They wanted to “examine” the pig and Susana says he does pretty well in school. Maybe a little behind in geography, but pretty good at the other subjects.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: EL SEÑOR DE LOS CIELOS 3, TIERRA DE REYES, AVENIDA BRASIL, etc – week of June 15, 2015
La Vecina-Index
Afternoon Novela-La Vecina: Is there any interest in a weekly post?
Next Monday (June 22) at 3PM/2C Univision will begin airing La Vecina, the latest telenovela from Lucero Suárez (De que te quiero te quiero, Amorcito Corazón and Querida Enemiga.)
It is a remake of the 2003 Colombian telenovela "La costeña y el cachaco." 170 episodes are planned.
It's being billed as a fusion of comedy and melodrama. It stars Juan Diego Covarrubias as Antonio Andrade and Esmeralda Pimentel as Sara Granados. The cast also includes Javier Jattin, Natalia Guerrero, Carlos Bracho, Arutro Carmona, Alejandro Ibarra , Luis Gatica and Alfredo Gatica (Last seen as "Abdul" in DQTQTQ.)
There's a host recognizable faces from other Lucero Suarez productions- Maria Alicia Delgado, Eduardo Shacklett and Bibelot Mansur to name a few. Most importantly, Jose Luis Badalt aka "Hotscar" will have a small role.
Would anyone be interested in a weekly, low-pressure, discussion and highlights only (no recaps) post? If so, please leave a quick comment. I can add a more detailed synopsis and character/cast list to this post later in the week if it looks like a go.
Sinopsis
After losing her hotel job and breaking up with her boyfriend, Sara decides to take a few days and head for the coastal town of San Gaspar.
At the same time Antonio is being sent by his company CONATROL to San Gaspar to investigate the excessive robbery of gasoline from the area.
Destiny will unite Sara and Antonio, first as neighbors and later when she arrives to work at CONATROL. They connect during a weekend on an unexpected trip. There's a great attraction between the two, despite their very different personalities.
Below is a video of the "entrada oficial" for anyone who, like me, judges a TN by its theme song.

Lo Imperdonable #20 Fri 6/12/15 When The Town Doctor Leaves Town, The Town Priest Will Take Over
* Some scenes have been combined to help the recap flow better.
Marital Problems
Our lovebirds are having yet another spat, this time because Martin thinks Veronica wants to send a note home complaining about the terrible time she's having in Mina Escondida. He tells her to go ahead and leave if she wishes but if she does then she can't come back. Veronica isn't up for yet another argument with him nor does have time for one. She wants to send a note to thank her family for having sent over a suitcase with Pablo and to let them know she's doing fine. She assures him that HIS attitude makes her want to rush out of there but she won't leave because she loves him and vowed to be with him through the good and bad times. She won't leave until she finds out what the hell is his problem. She storms out of the hovel.
Now alone, Martin is tired of this situation and gives a big sigh, and tells himself that he should have never brought Veronica to Mina Escondida because he'll never able able to make her happy.
Motherly Instinct
The gold has been packed in these HUGE boxes and Botel is asking Uspin for discretion. But I'm not sure how that's possible since the HUGE boxes are sure to catch the attention of just about anyone. Whatever.
Anyway, Magdalena is awaiting to see if Veronica will show up with a note for her family. Botel doesn't think she should be trusting Veronica so much. At least not until she's sure Veronica is a good person. Magdalena doesn't give a crap what Martin thinks. For her - Veronica is a good person. Botel assumes Magdalena feels this way because Magdalena sees in Veronica a possible image of her own daughter. He advises her NOT follow her motherly instinct. ShutUpBotel.

Weekend Discussion: Love -- Reality or Poetic Delusion?
I actually know a few people who don't think love exists at all. Some of them had highly toxic parents and a couple of them have had disappointing love lives (one I suspect never had one). A few other people I know are so confounded by differences between men and women they refuse to believe it is possible to understand the other at all. It's possible that they are too lazy to try.

- Faust as twisted as always is cruelly telling Elena about the state of the children only to spew crocodile tears on demand as inside of his mind he laments " They're my kids" . (Pardon me but Faust Lopez Guerra is one of the most sick & twisted villians ever, I gotta go throw up in the toilet! I usually love the villians but Fausto makes my stomach wild) Meanwhile Mat & Abi are praying in which Mat begs God to not take away his second child away and if someone has to receive Karma may he be the only recipient . Meanwhile Abi lurks from behind sadly.

La Sombra del Pasado #84 6-12-15 In The Shadow of Death. . .
Greetings, Sombra Patio Peeps! We begin where we left off with the sadly not shocking assault of Severiano upon the pregnant and frail Simoneta Viviana! Sev sent her flying over the sofa and we all saw the dreaded trickle of blood from the ear which signals certain death. We don’t get a replay of that psychotic split between laughter and horror but instead Sev kneels next to S/V and feels a pulse which is presented to us audibly. He begins to squeeze, his face contorting and blooming crimson, his eyes bugging out and veins popping just as he did when he murdered Padre Sixto right in the church. Slowly the pulse fades as Sev looks skyward as if giving thanks, relief replacing the labor of snuffing out a life. Simonetta Viviana is dead!
Before I finish this sad and evil tale, I want to catch up
with the buff and hopeful Emanuel who has gone to San Miguel hoping to enter
the equestrian competitions with Solitario, his first love. He is further hopeful because he has just
declared his love to Lola and she reciprocated with words and deep, passionate
kisses. Ah! Life is good!. . . .Or so he thought. The same night Eman arrives in San Miguel he
is mugged by a couple of thugs, the details of which we were spared but we did
see them pull a knife on him and hold it to his throat! Yikes!
When next we see him, it’s the next morning and he’s walking along the
road trying to hitchhike back to Santa Lucia.
Now. I don’t know if
he had the cash to enter the competition on him, I’m assuming he did and the
thugs made off with it and his phone. Please feel free to weigh in, my friends. We at the Cougar Table and the whole patio
are just glad he’s not hurt! So, let’s
see what his second love, Lola, is up to!

Amores con Trampa #55 ... Isabela keeps falling deeper and deeper into passional insanity...
Refritos:
The animal protection folks arrive and announce they are
there because there was an accusation/complaint of animal abuse. They tell
Maria, grandma, et al that you can’t have animals like these in this area, and
that the complaint/accusation came from Isabela Bocceli de Velasco.
Said Isabela is with Frederick in her house… he wants her to
come along to some sale event. She can’t leave the house. He will go alone to the bank to solicit a
limit-less credit card (yeah right, like they will hand it to you).
Back in the ruckus outside, Facu won’t let the men take the
animals. He tells the guys that their
animals are well loved and taken care of.
Porfirio comes and seconds Facu’s statement.
The guys insist they have to take the animals away… grandma,
gusana and Jacinto get in the ‘leave ‘ em here!’ team. Andres is just a few yards
away watching the action…
Maria sneaks away… she is steaming angry and heading in a
direct line toward Isabel who is now with Conchita saying some yoga/spiritual
hymn… with headphones on… they don’t see or hear Maria until Maria is right on
top of Isabel ripping her headphones away.
Conchita gets stuttering scared while Isa screams bloody murder and
Maria starts following her around the huge fountain area. Isabel and Maria end up in the water… Maria
seems to be in her zone while Isabela keeps screaming/whealing and yelling for
help. COnchita comes to try to help her but only gets wet too. Now the threesome are dancing some strange
ring around the rosie game around one of the fountains.
Suddenly Maria all dripping wet comes in her house, still
angry. She won’t tell and it is not
until Grandma and Porfirio try to get her to speak… that she responds. She has a really weird scary voice as if she
were now a zombie… threats Facu not to leave the house… she heads right back
out. Facu is scared and runs after her.
Grandma does not let Porfirio do anything… Gusana approaches him and
says she understands him, not so the oxygenated blonde across the street.
Beto comes to Isabel’s store to visit Rocio. Rocio is glad
to see him and opens up to him, sayings he is tired of the life she is running
and the family she is living with. She
does not want to talk about the reality, rather close her eyes and enjoy this
very moment. They are about to kiss when a customer lady comes in asking about
the wraps that Maria had made and they sold at the store. The lady insists
asking Rocio to look in the back closets… Rocio assures her they don’t have any
more in the store. The lady leaves. Beto
asks if she was asking about the wraps his mom was making. Rocio says yes,
ladies come asking for them daily. IF your mom kept making them she would
become a millionaire.

Lo Imperdonable #19 Thu 6/11/15 Who Needs Couples Therapy When You Can Settle Your Differences By Fencing
This will be a short and quick summary:
* Martin in confessional tells Padre Juan that he married the woman who caused his brother's death to get revenge on her. Padre Juan asks him - how can he be so sure? Martin explains that he's sure because she's the owner of the pendant. Her initials are V. Prado Castelo - Veronica Prado Castelo. Martin admits that Veronica is driving him crazy because she appears nice and good while in reality she's a damn viper. Martin also admits that he is in love with Veronica. "If you love her and she loves you shouldn't that be enough for you to forgive her?" Padre Juan asks. It's not enough for Martin who still wants revenge and doesn't care what it costs. Martin admits that he made this confession in confessional to seal Padre's lips. Padre Juan reprimands him for having stooped so low as to have sealed his lips this way. Martin knows he has no pardon and doesn't even know if he'll be able to forgive himself when he gets his revenge. He runs out of church with Padre Juan calling after him. Later, Padre Juan prays so God can guide him and give him words to tell Martin so he won't go along with his revenge.
* Virginia informs Salma that thanks to Claudia she was able to find out (via a fax sent by Martin) that Martin and Veronica arrived fine to Mina Escondida. Salma doesn't quite like that Claudia and Virgina have become friends because Claudia is a tad vulgar and extravagant. Virginia agrees that Claudia dresses a tad provocatively but she doesn't like to judge and believes that what matters is what is on the inside (yeah right, Virginia). When Virginia notices that Emiliano has entered the mansion she badmouths Veronica subtlety over Veronica not having been the one who sent the fax home to let the family know how she was doing.
* Cresnecio orders Manuel to apologize to Julio for having hit him. But Manuel refuses because 1. he's not sorry what he did and 2. if he apologizes then he'd lose authority with Julio and the other miners. Cresencio will give Manuel a pass on this but tells him it better not happen again or else Cresencio will give Julio permission to hit Manuel back.

Que Te Perdone Dios #102 – The Phantom is Here, Tragedy With Diana and the Bebés, Toño is a Thug and Renata is Blinded By the Light
I couldn’t watch last night,
so the refried is like new, and I’m not altogether sure why doorMat is being a
jerk to Abi – again. But when he has ever had or needed a reason, and when has
she cared? No complaints tonight about not enough action. What an episode!
At the hospital, Mat makes some comment about people bothering
him which Diana says is directed to Abigail. Porfiro, a.k.a. The Phantom,
inquires of Xi-ela if she knows anything about Dissociative Identity Disorder,
or in lay terms, split personality.
The Phantom refry scene segues into new material. He is
reading Fausto, Faust in English of course, which is hilarious. Xi-ela
(Angel Wings) hasn’t read it, and when he says it’s about a man who is unhappy
with his life and makes a deal with the devil, she suggests he should read
something more uplifting. He scoffs at the thought of a self-help book,
especially since he couldn’t find How to Live With Your Disfigurement While
Trapped in a Wheelchair in 20 Steps. Xi-ela doesn’t appreciate his sarcasm.
He says that he would make a deal with the devil to win her love. Cara de
impactada and fearful.

La Sombra del Pasado #83 6/11/15
Tonight's format is again inspired by Hellashelle.
The Short Version:
After getting busted coming out of Sev's office, Padre J and Dom think fast. She says Padre J was there to talk to Mel. Since Padre J had to make a phone call, Dom offered Sev's office for privacy. Cande, still smarting about the communion incident, tells Padre J that he and Aldonza should stay away from the hospital. Padre J assure her they will. He leaves. Dom asks how Padre J offended Cande. Cande tells her how she was denied communion. I believe Dom was about to remind Cande about slapping Aldonza in the church, but Cande interrupts her.

The Short Version:
- Padre J and Dom make excuses. Cande barely buys them. Recapper snorts.
- Sev keeps Aldonza out of Cris’ room. Recapper throws stuff at the TV.
- Hum says medical stuff. Recapper wonders if it's really that important.
- Cris goes for a walk. A bloody mess and recapper nausea ensues. Recapper decides it probably makes Hums earlier doctor talk moot.
- Emanuel goes to San Miguel. He takes a shower. Then he gets mugged. Recapper approves his choice of towel. It offset the chest nicely.
- Mari finds out Emanuel is in San Miguel. She has an idea she wants to run by Valeria. Recapper curses.
- Silvia talks to Aldonza about “the kiss.” Aldonza insists it was more like their lips barely touched. Recapper shakes head in disbelief.
- Val goes to the hospital. She makes comments about Aldonza being slutty like her mother. Recapper blood pressure rises.
- Sim calls Lola. She needs help. Lola calls Hum. Hum figures out Sim’s condition. Hum tells Sev. Sev visits Sim. Bye Bye Sim?

Lo Imperdonable #18 Wed 6/10/15 A bloody day in Mina Escondida – Rub your arm if you're feeling the stress.
Sorry, folks, but LatinaInMd is under the weather tonight, so this is NovelaMaven pinch-hitting for her.
When we left the happy couple last night, Verónica had just discovered a huge bloodstain under a side table. Meanwhile, Crazy Marty was crouching over Demetrio's dusty grave and vowing to keep the (crazy) promise he made.
Note: Claudia has the night off so she can get her legs waxed.
Note: Claudia has the night off so she can get her legs waxed.
You're a guy who appreciates the classics. Am I wrong?
Pablo is fast-talking his way out of trouble with Crescencio, offering to capture a non-Kodak moment with a painting of his grandchildren. Despite the scorn of Manny the Hump (or maybe because of it), Crescencio seems to be warming to the idea. When Pablo proposes setting Crescencio in the middle of the picture as the patriarch of the family, the deal may well be sealed. Crescencio will meet Pablo in the cantina the next day at noon to discuss it.
The mail will go through, but it might be a little late.
Julio watches as Ana Perla begs M. Dussage to deliver a letter to Pablo, only to learn that he is already in Mina Escondida and anxious to see her. When M. Dussage points out that Julio is observing them, Ana Perla explains that Julio is not a threat: the abuelo asked him to keep an eye on her. Besides, he is an old friend. She smiles at Julio, who smiles back at her.

La Sombra del Pasado #82 - Wed 6/10 - Undercover shenanigans
Mmmmmm…lovin' the replay of Lola and Emmanuel's steamy scene.
Hum gives Sev an "I told you so!" both about Cris' leg and Roberta giving birth. And he calls him on lying about the injury to his arm. Hum is sick and tired of being asked to do surgeries he's not qualified to do, and Sev can bring in his own damn surgeon if he doesn't like Hum's attitude, damnit!

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 100- Mac's got a Beanie & Marc's Scheißen Tag
I dont have much time to recap today so i will just do a short one today. This show can be described in few paraghraps anyway :)
In no particular order:
- Diego desires to learn the identity of his father from Padre Tomas ( He also now knows that Tom knew about Diego's heritage) but the Padre insists that he is bound by the glorious Secret of Confession. All holy rants ensue from both of them.
- Julian and Mano Mio Negra stack their money in their safe ready to collect their rapid earnings. There's also party in Casino Julian but Marc's at first what is to be lucky night later observes Violeta's performance and throws a fit. Fausto, Lucio & CountXAlacran observe Marc's rage with great glee and we share a troll- like laugh at the situation and Mano Negra defends the damsel in distress Violeta and shows Marc his place. Pussy Marc swears that Mano will pay dearly for his antics.

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo 81: People are losing their breakfasts, their youth, their minds, their lovers, their shirts and who knows what else!
RECAP BY HELLASHELLE
If you saw it, a taste: Aldie’s not mad about the hair thievery. She sneaks in to see Cris while he’s knocked out. PJ wants to steal a sample of Sev’s blood and forge his signature to do another DNA test! Tomas searches for Pru. When they find each other, Pru tells the truth about the lies she weaved, and Tomas weaves a lie to cover the truth of where he was. Mel struggles with guilt over Cris’s accident and fear of aging. Val struggles with morning sickness. S/V tries to get a hold of Sev. Lola and Eman kiss again, in a big way. Hum tells Sev that Cris might lose his leg!
If you missed it, a bigger bite:After Emmanuel admits that he and Cris are creepy creepsters, Aldonza gives him a huge hug and kiss on the cheek and thanks him. Then she smacks his shoulder and tells him never to do something like that again! It was in no way a good thing, but…she repeats the hug, kiss and thanks again. She doesn’t want to lose trust between them. He and C are some crooked shysters. Wonderful, but crooked shysters. PJ comes in to tell them they can donate blood now.
Teresa and her husband try to wake Pru up. She’s got a weak pulse and won’t fully come to. They want to call Hum, but she revives enough to slur a no.

Lo Imperdonable #16-17 Special Post #16 Final Scene (Televisa Uncut) & #17 Part of Opening Scene (Cut by Univision)
The above clip includes the complete final scene of Episode #16 as broadcast in Mexico on Televisa. The last 30 seconds were cut from the Univision broadcast.
Sorry all - I tried to upload the complete opening scene of Episode #17 but this would have been twice as large in memory as the #16 clip; so I had to edit it down to include primarily the part of the opening scene that Univision cut from the opening - the same stuff cut from #16, plus a bit more, as you will see below.

Lo Imperdonable #16 Mon 6/8/15 Honeymoon Hotel? No, Honeymoon in Hell!
The Church in the City – All you need is love
Jorge escorts Vero down the aisle to the grumpy groom waiting at the altar. The church is surprisingly empty – no budget for lots of extras, I guess. (Or maybe the Prado Castelo family is not quite as important as they think they are.) Oblivious Vero gazes adoringly at Crazy Marty. Marty continues to scowl, though now and then one corner of his mouth twitches up in that spasmodic parody of a smile.
Pueblo Nuevo – Burning for you
Ana Perla is so distracted by her daydreams of Pablo that she burns breakfast.
¿Inaceptable?
Mariana is sure that she and Pablo will be the next happy couple at the altar. Claudia is so verklempt at seeing Crazy Marty slip out of her clutches that she has to leave the church. Nana Matilde never stops beaming. Nasty Ginny rolls her eyes.
Veronica says "I do." But when it's Marty's turn, he hesitates long enough for Jorge to open his mouth like a fish – oh! bubble bubble – and look helplessly at Salma, for Matilde to throw up her hands in despair and for everyone else in the church to get VERY uncomfortable.

Amores con trampa #51 and #52 6/8/15 and 6/9/15
I've been perusing old Alborada and La fea mas bella recaps to get a better sense of Caray. I noticed a greater emphasis on vocabulary. It did start out as a blog for people who wanted to learn or improve their Spanish after all. I'll try to be better about including vocabulary. I'm going to embed the vocabulary, but also include a list at the end in case you are keeping your own. That way the copying and pasting will be easier. The words I include may not be super useful. They just caught my fancy for whatever reason.
Rocio wants to talk to Isabel about her mother.
The evening's schtick. Conchita dressed in traditional garb and serving dinner: Espetgueti boloñesa (which doesn't explain her French accent.) Porfirio complains. More chili and salt, please. Conchita is mortified that Susana is putting it in a tortilla. Egg jokes. Perpetul offers to fix something. She complains about Conchita the fufurufa (falsely hoity toity.)
Maria notices Fac is upset. He claims it's because of Esteban. Maria suggests they cancel the fiesta. Everyone protests. They try to explain "coma" to Fac.
Rocio wants to know why Isa gets to tense when they talk about her mom. Isa claims she's just sad. Rocio wants to know about the mass. Isa promises to arrange it. After Rocio leaves, Isa comments that Rocio can't find out the truth.
Maria asks about Esteban's accident. She doesn't understand how it happened. Fac doesn't either. We're all on borrowed time. Beto is just about to say what happened, but decides to just say it was an accident. Fac excuses himself. He's tired. He asks for Porfirio's blessing.

About SPAM and DISAPPEARING COMMENTS and SORRY, SUSANLYNN!
Dear friends,
You may or may not know that our blog is attacked daily by frenzied legions of spammers. These days most of them are witch doctors, but in the old days they were peddling limousine services and air conditioners. I have turned on comment moderation after a week, and am now deleting most of the spam by hand...
... but I just discovered that blogger has, in its own attempt to ease my burden, been classifying zillions of spam comments - but also plenty of legitimate ones - as spam...
... for instance, I just found a folder on the site called SPAM and in it were about 1,500 comments dating back a couple of years and a lot of them were from (sob) Susanlynn who is one of our longest-contributing and devoted fans...
... so, if you find that your legitimate comments are not appearing (ie you are not a witch doctor or an air conditioning salesman) write to me at caray@mappamundi.com and let me know.

No Empty Threats, Or, ADmit It! We're All Just Swimming In Swill!
Simona
wishes Violeta luck with her job interview.
While Motor
and Toño chug a couple of chilled ones back at Simona’s place, Tony tells
Motor that Daddy Dearest is going to get his clock cleaned for dipping his wick
where others had not feared to tread. Motor
mentions Teodora’s rape and Tony isn’t pleased.
Diana, down
in the dumps and feelin’ dumpy, is still looking for love in all the wrong
places. She sits in Lucio’s humbling
hovel waiting for him to load her up on compliments. (Guess being preggers is not always all it’s
cracked up to be, Dee Dee.) Once she
leaves, Lucio goes rooting around in Max’s box of inherited jewels for a
necklace to please Dee with. The one he
comes up with looks like it could pay for all of Max’s cancer treatments and
then some.
Vi’s voice and
La Mano Negra convince Julian-lio that he should give her a two week trial at
his club. Mano looks like he’s
interested in her and chats her up a bit.
Fausto is
convinced that Max is “El Anonimo” and he pays a visit to Macaria having
decided that they should become lovers again—frenemies of sorts--she’s an enemy
equally vile, vicious, and conniving as he is, he tells her. He’d rather keep her close if they can work
together again. They seal the deal with
a seductive roll in the sack—her price for her loyalty. She promises
him again to let him have one go with Abigail as proof of her “loyalty” and
love. A moment or two after they’re done
doin’ the deed and in the middle of “afterglow”, Renata walks right into Mac’s
brick cottage unannounced and is looking for Abi. Feisty is forced to flee the scene by
sneaking past. Ren thinks she smells his
aftershave but Mac swears he’s been nowhere around her place recently.
Later in
the day Mateo gripes at Mac for knowing about his wife’s affair with his uncle
and never saying anything. Mac hides
behind the excuse that she tried telling him way back when they dated but he
wouldn’t listen. He asks if she knows
whether they carried on the affair even after they got married, but Mac plays
dumb on that score. But, not happy unless
she’s getting under somebody’s skin, she goads him by saying that Abi, as
nothing more than a maid’s daughter cannot expect any serious relationship from
her beauty and will probably end up some rich man’s mistress. Mat goes ballistic and begins shaking the
be-jesus out of her for it. “—Why do you
always say those terrible things about your own daughter??? Is that what you want? To sell her??? Huh?”
Feisty
walks in and saves Mac’s bacon. Mat’s
forced to stomp out of the kitchen knowing he’s too much of a gentleman to give
Mac the beat-down she deserves.
Across the
way, Abi brings Max back to his humble abode and waits with him while he vomits
and then puts him to bed.
Back in the
hacienda’s kitchen, Macaria plays Ms. Innocent and cannot imagine why Mat’s in
such a foul mood. She complains that
they’re both so obviously in love with her daughter and both of them get so
testy over it! Feisty grabs her by the
throat and threatens her if she dares trying to play both ends against the
middle when it comes to Mat and him.
They’ve just reconciled, but she’s not beyond his reach. “--Don’t threaten me! I’m not afraid of death or of jail.” “—No, I won’t bother killing you. If you dare betray me again I’ll gouge your eyes out
with my own hands so you’ll live in the same darkness as Renata! Ha, so you are afraid of that, aren’t you?”
Outside the
manse, meanwhile, Dee is moping on one of the benches in the back garden when
Lucio comes trotting up. He fills her
full of flattery and hands her the necklace to cheer her up. He races off when Helena comes up the
walkway. Hellie admires her
daughter-in-law’s necklace and helps Di put it on. She asks where it came from and Di says she
inherited it from Tía Mia. Hellie says
she honestly doesn’t know if she could ever trust Di again.
Di again swears by all that’s sacred that she
never was involved with anyone after she felt hopelessly in love and married
Mat; she then sways the conversation towards making mistakes and keeping secrets
and the tone takes on a guilefully menacing air. “—Everyone has made mistakes and some have
been kept secret. Haven’t you got some
secrets of your own? I thought there was
something in the hospital but I didn’t really hear well. I supported you despite not knowing what
secret you were hiding and I did it because I love you, Helena.”
Having finished
with weak-minded and insecure Hellie, Di then walks into the living room to
find Feisty lost in thought. All the
better to nag him over Abi once again. “—All
you managed to do was to drive my husband and her even closer together. In fact they are sleeping together. I caught her in his bed while he was taking a
bath!” “—You’ll have to help me drive them apart.” Not a chance. Your wife and your son and your
problem!! He asks her to keep her mouth
shut or at least to lower her voice. “—It’s
okay with me if they all hear me!! If
you’re going to drag me through the mud I will do the same. I’ve got no reason to protect your secrets
from my husband!” Of course, speak of the King of Rome and who should appear
wanting to know what secrets she’s talking about.
Lucio
finally arrives back home. Abi rudely gets
ready to leave him with Max and as he tries stopping her, she warns him to keep
his hands off her. He asks why she’s
always got to be so catty and rude around him.
All he wants to do is to thank her for going with him to the
treatment. He’d wanted to but Max wouldn’t
let him, he admits. “—I’m sure he’s got
his reasons!” she sneers at him as she walks out the door.
Hellie walks into the living room right behind
Mat. Instead of acting guilty as sin, Fausto artfully turns the tables on Mat telling Hellie and him that Mat had better not
take advantage of a decent young woman like Abi, especially under his
roof. He has no business as a married
man sleeping with her! Mat starts
snickering. “—You are telling me
that???!!! After hopping into bed with
everything in skirts your entire married life??? You who has admitted to having an affair with
my wife when we were dating???” At least
it wasn’t under Renata’s roof, says Feisty in his defense. Mat is quick on the uptake. NO, you simply were courteous enough to carry
on across the way at La Enramada, right my love?”
Di tells
him enough already! “--I will not allow
you to talk to me or this way! I swear I
have been completely faithful to you during our marriage. What do I have to do to convince you?” Mat tells her there’s not a thing in the
world that would do it for him now. There’s
no reason for you to console yourself in your mistress’s arms, she
continues. (Her tía must be smiling up
at her from Hell itself, Di’s acting is so flawless.) “—She is not my mistress!!” “—Oh, don’t tell me you did nothing but talk
all night long!” “—That’s exactly what
we did!” Feisty jumps in here and warns
Mat he’d better respect Abi or else! “—The
same goes for you! You’d better watch
what you do around her because I’m going to be watching you!” Mat and his Mama exit stage right.
Fausto
advises DeeDee to get her hubby and move the heck out of the hacienda or
else. Nothin’ doin’, spits back
Dee. “--You still haven’t begun to pay
for all the harm you’ve done me, Fausto!
And you know how I am going to collect?
I am going to make sure that that idiot Abigail is never going to get
it on with you! Never!!”
Upstairs in
Mat’s room, Hellie gives Mat The Talk about sleeping with a single girl. Mat plays The Troubled Teen and tries making
his mama understand that it was a harmless hug through the night and nothing
more happened. “--What the heck is wrong
since I’m going to marry her as soon as I get divorced.” And the two children? “--There’s a good chance they aren’t mine,
but if they are they will be taken care of their whole life long. But my kids or not, this marriage is at an
end!”
Hellie isn’t satisfied. She
continues defending Di’s supposed “luhhhhv” for him and he cannot understand
why she is. Hellie explains that we’ve
all made mistakes. Even I have. No, says Mat.
It’s not the same thing. She didn’t
cheat on one man while engaged to another!
It’s totally unforgivable! You
can defend her however you like, even though it’s going to break my heart. But there is no way I can ever stick it out
with a woman I despise as much as Diana!
And nothing and no one can ever make me change my mind!!
Naive Nieves and
Teo visit Diego in prison. (Yawn.
FF>>FF>>)
Lucio
worries over Max. He tries encouraging
him to make another play for Abi but Max nixes that in the bud. Lucio and he discuss selling the jewels for
his therapy rather than him doing any more “jobs” for Fausto. Lucio promises only one more and then nothing
else and Max won’t have to use his mama’s jewelry. But no, it doesn’t involve killing anybody
this time. (Some good news for a change. Right
Maxie?)
Abi
remembers Mac’s sob story making her believe that Fausto is her father and that he despised her because she was a maid’s illegitimate daughter. Fausto joins Abi in the garden and scolds her
for sleeping with Mat. She tells him it’s
her business. She’s a big girl now and
she’s not sorry about anything since nothing happened. He asks her what her feelings are for Mateo
but she refuses to discuss it with him. Rather,
she wants to know what Feisty feels
for her. (Ruh-Rohhhhhh!!!!!)

Lo Imperdonable #15 Fri 6/5/15 The First Part Of Martin's Ridiculous Revenge Ends With His Wedding To Veronica
Club Prado Castelo
A
drunken Emiliano offends Veronica by calling her a "seductress and
treacherous" and Martin grabs him by the lapels. Instead of giving the
jerk what he deserves, Martin releases him rather quickly and Emiliano
continues to make a scene in front of all the guests. Jorge shows up and
tries to put a stop to it all but instead of dragging his son out of
there the idiot stands there and lets Emiliano continue to humiliate
himself and the rest of his family. Veronica tells Emiliano "enough
already!". The fool is willing to give Emiliano a pass for this little
scene when she should slap the him silly for his offensive remarks
against her. Emiliano comments on how Martin will drag her off to Mina
Escondida which happens to be the worst place ever. Veronica makes it
clear to Emiliano and everyone else for that matter that Martin won't
drag her no where because her place is where her husband is. She says
that Mina Escondida might be a hell for some but for her it will be her
paradise because it will be her home with the man she loves. She makes a
toast to Mina Escondida. Nicolas finally steps up and carries Emiliano
out of there. Veronica hugs Martin and Jorge apologizes to all the
guests and to Martin for the scene Emiliano made. He tells everyone that
they will understand that the party can't continue. Jorge leaves.
Martin
and Veronica are still hugging and Veronica asks him how come this had
to happen on a day that was supposed to be full of happiness. Martin
tells Veronica not to take things too seriously because alcohol and
spite doesn't mix well together. Veronica doesn't know how she can't
take things too seriously if what Emiliano said were terrible. I have to
ask here: If what he said was terrible then why the heck are you giving
him a pass? Veronica doesn't understand where Emiliano could have
gotten all those ideas about her.
Montse grills Salma with questions. Montse didn't even know Emiliano was in
love with Veronica. Salma shrugs off her questions and tells her that
she has to go and be with her son.

La Sombra del Pasado #79 6-5-15 Cande's back, but ain't nothing sweet about it!
Greetings, friends!
Let’s see what our friends in Santa Lucia are up to. Cande
marches smartly into Renato’s law office, check book in hand. Cande is confident she can make the divorce an
express especially knowing that Renato has feelings for Aldonza. He evenly and flatly turns her down: he’s not for sale. She puts her checkbook away but maintains
that EVERYbody has a price and he should think about his and get back with
her. Renato asks why she is so
interested in Aldonza and Cris divorcing.
THAT is none of his business she replies as she leaves, nose in the air.
Lola has a little errand, too. She goes to Mari’s house to tell her Eman has
moved into Aldonza’s and his room is right across from hers and now they can
see each other every day! Mari maintains that she trusts Eman and Lola
claims she doesn’t care about him, she just wanted Mari to know. Mari tells her the last thing she is worried
about is that Eman would ever be interested in her; he’s been over her for a
loooong time; and slams the door in Lola’s
face. Mari stamps petulantly on the
other side of the door and each calls the other stupid. Thanks, so I don’t have to.
Oh, here’s Cande, on her way home after failing to buy
Renato. She meets Simoneta/Viviana carry
two suitcases. Since Cande is always set
on bitch mode she lights into S/V and asks what the shameless slut is still
doing in town, her husband wants nothing more to do with her! S/V maintains that she and Sev will always be
together because there’s something that binds them now: She’s going to have a baby! Cande doesn’t believe her, S/V doesn’t care
and is confident that Sev won’t deny a child of his own blood! (Hoo boy!)
“I know Severiano!” S/V declares defiantly. “But you don’t know me!” Cande counters and
stomps away. (I don’t know how these
girls manage these rough-hewn cobblestones in those heels—sheesh!)
Still super pissed, Cande steamrolls into Sev’s office and
scatters the papers on his desk and announces to Sev through fiercely clenched teeth that
he’s going to be a father again! Cande
orders him to go to the Santa Lucia hotel where S/V is staying and fix it: She’s not going to have this same story
repeat itself! Cande blasts out the way
she entered leaving Sev’s evil wheels turning. Sev does indeed stop by and S/V was
expecting him. Of course he denies the
baby is his. S/V told Cande because Cande confronted her on
the street and HE refused to take her calls.
She knew Cande would go running to tell him immediately. They have a back and forth: Sev doesn’t want the kid and he wants HER out
of town. SHE is not leaving and she’s
not going to give this baby up like she gave up one before and if he refuses to
recognize and support their child she will mount a scandal of monumental
proportions and unmask him before all Santa Lucia!

Amores con Trampa #50 Would the character who is NOT involved in a love triangle please step forward...
Ok,
I will redo the detail from the beginning of the cap in the morning, but here is the rest.
Some woman has about 3 scarves on at the same time at Isa's store. She tells Rocio she's buying them all. Isa catches Beto and Rocio kissing. Rocio and Beto finally get a green light from Isa to date.
Beto catches Isa and Esteban arguing out in the street, but he is probably too far to hear what they're saying. Isa not happy Esteban tried to make Santee believe he was Alejandra's dad.
Estefi waltzes into Facu's office and keeps insisting and begging that he give her something to do and keep her employed, she claims she has no money even to eat... and if Santee finds out about it she is toast!
Esteban is trying to call Santee, but Isa calls Esteban, he threats he will tell Santee the whole menu. Isa gets frantically desperate begging him not to. He hangs up. She is driving insane and catches up with him... Beto is coming from another road... wait for it.... wait for it... Esteban and Isa continue arguing from one car to another. Beto watches as Esteban crashes against a construction truck. Isa flees the scene.
Something is going on with the younger ones and Diego's brother... they all are still in school uniform. They are playing hide and seek but Jacinto keeps giving too many explanations... the rest of the kids (Diego's brother, Alejandra and Gusana) are thinking sighs and visions toward each other.
Estefi still in Facu's office, he insists he does not want any trouble at home. He is surprised Estefi has met Maria. Estefi says Maria is lucky to have him. She thanks him and before he can realize it she kisses him on cheek. He gets uneasy. She leaves while he talks to himself... he can't understand the people (rather, the WOMEN) from this city.
Did I say I LOVE Lalita the little cow? the animals have plenty of lines tonight. including Margarito, Tito the donkey and even the hen.

Lo Imperdonable #14 Thu 6/4/15 "Rings, Horses, and Drunken Cousins.....Here's How to Ruin a Lovely Engagement Party"
UPDATE: As I previously mentioned, Adriana had an "imprevisto" (something came up) and could not write a recap for last night's episode #14. Fortunately, our recapping team captain Mauricio came through for us (even though he also has recapping duty tonight) and wrote a detailed recap of episode #14. So, I have deleted from here my emergency bullet points from this morning. Enjoy Mauricio's full recap immediately below:
Hotel / Bar
Martin answers his phone. Veronica thanks him for the all the flowers. He filled her room with them and filled her with happiness. It's the best present she has ever received. No one has ever had such a gesture like that with her. "It can't be the first time that a man gives you a gift.." Martin tells Veronica. "Of course not" Veronica replies. "But if that were true, nothing compares to receiving something like this from the man I love" Veronica tells him. Martin tells her he thinks she is exaggerating a little but is glad she liked them. Alfredo signals to him [probably letting him know their car is there] and Martin tells Veronica he has to hang up. Veronica tells Martin she loves him. She tells him she knows he can't say "I love you" back but she is sure that one day he will. Martin hangs up and says to himself "of course I will never say it but I would love to..." as he leaves.

Hotel / Bar
Virginia
and Martin continue their little chat outside the hotel/bar. Virginia
doesn't want Martin to mention her relationship with Daniel at home
because it would cause problems and she wants to protect Daniel from
them. She goes on to tell Martin that no one is to blame for being poor
and that what is important to her is that Daniel is a hard worker. And we all know Virginia knows from personal experience that he is a "hard worker".... Martin
won't mention Virginia's relationship with Daniel. Martin's cellphone
rings. It's Veronica. Virginia leaves so Martin can talk with Veronica.

Que Te Perdone Dios #97 – Lucio Chooses Door Number 3 and Gets Zonked
Refrito: Diego, Mateo and Abigail sit at a card table in
jail. Since that isn’t awkward enough on its own, Diego starts to blather on
about Abi giving him another chance and marrying him again. He seems to catch a
bit of the emoting virus from Mat’s proximity, but Mat leaves and he calms
down. Abi shuts him down on the marriage plans. He needs to have a life first,
preferably out of jail. He says the marriage will help him get custody of
Domingo. Poor Nieves. He used the same line on her. Abi offers to talk to
Fausto because he’s so good and helpful, and Diego says no in the usual manner.
Helena connects the dots about Fausto getting a girl
pregnant, and then that girl giving birth to Diego, which would make Fausto the
father of Diego. Fausto cannot see the logic in that and won’t have Helena
spreading it all around town, either. She is playing with fire these days. Will
she make it to the end of the novela?
They continue speaking, and Helena is bound and determined
to fill in the blanks and cross the T’s on her death warrant. She needles
Fausto about having slept with his own son’s wife. Fausto doesn’t get why he
has to keep repeating that he ended it when he found out they were dating.
Doesn’t that remove any weirdness or impropriety from the situation? No Fausto,
even if it were true. Now Helena dots one more i by mentioning the anonymous
letter accusing him of being the father of Diana’s babies, and saying that
Diana said he has continued pursuing her. Fausto says Di has done a good job of
manipulating Helena, and he is right. For now.

La Sombra del Pasado #78 6/4/15
I thought this episode was going to be great...and then they just started talking a lot.
Valeria confronts Cris. How dare he sleep with her while he was married to Aldonza? If she had known that she would never have slept with him. She's no one's plato de segunda mesa (second choice so to speak.) Cris tries to apologize and explain that he was drunk and had just found out that Aldonza was his sister. Val doesn't want his excuses. He used her. He sought her out knowing she was in love with him and wouldn't turn him down. He took advantage of her feelings. He apologizes, but she doesn't accept it. He humiliated her and treated her poorly. She only hopes that are no "consequences" from their night of passion.
Mudo and Jacinto are on their way to kill Solitario. Emanuel and Joaquin are already there trying to FREE SOLITARIO. Eman and Joaquin knock Mudo and Jacinto out and try to make a get away with the horse. Melesio and a shotgun puts a stop to it.
Pato and Slivia hang out in front of Irma's shop and babble (something about lamps?) Slivia is tired of it and tells him to stop acting like a 12 year old and just go talk to Lola. Pato is just following along with the idea Mari gave him. Lola and Irma close up shop. I guess Mari's plan was to casually run into Lola and act like he doesn't give a fig about her since that's what Pato proceeds to do.

Que Te Perdone Dios #96 - Discusion Page
Courtesy of TF! Tks!
Recap (as best as I could remember):
Pat and Ren talk about her operation. She can't wait to be able to see his face and Abi's. Fausto meanwhile is eavesdropping.
Xi has summoned Dani back to the city. She asks her where the jewelry that Porfirio gave her is. Dani says she gave it to Max. Xi says that she hopes Porfirio doesn't find out. Dani scolds her for using Fausto to cover up the fact that she (Xi) and Lucio had Pat beat up. Dani asks if Xi really wants to help her (Dani) win Pat back or is she just using her to get revenge on Pat.
Abi and Mat are lying on his bed discussing the situation with Diego and what happened at La Enramada. The next morning Mat gets up to take a shower and leaves Abi sleeping. Dianaconda walks into his room and sees Abi sleeping on Mat's bed. She wakes her up by grabbing her hair. She starts to go off on Abi on sleeping with Mateo. Abi reminds Di that she's not a saint either because she was involved with Fausto. Diana accuses Abi of getting with Fausto too. Abi calls her crazy and warns Di not to mess with her. Di kicks Abi out of the room just as Mat comes out of the bathroom. She sarcastically asks Mateo how he slept and says she found Abi in his bed. She warns him not to mess with her etc etc
Connie takes tea to Elena who is staying at the hacienda until the situation at La Enramada gets resolved. Diana comes in and whines to Elena that Mateo spent the night with Abi. Elena wonders when Mateo will learn. Connie interjects and asks Diana why doesn't she tell Elena that she was Fausto's lover and that Mateo recently received an anonymous note saying that Diana is pregnant with Fausto's kids, not his. Elena is impactada. Diana tries to explain herself saying that her affair with Fausto ended when she fell in love with Mateo and that Fausto is still pursuing her etc etc. Elena doesn't seem to buy it.
Efi goes to see Julian to try to end things between them. He grabs her roughly just as Toño comes out of his room and tells his dad to let her go. Efi quickly leaves and Toño asks his dad if he's sleeping with Efi because he (Toño) is also sleeping with Efi. Julian gets mad and kicks Toño out of the house. Toño shows up at Simona's.
Motor arrives at the sisters' house to pick up Juanita. Edu is there and tells Motor that he should've set his eyes on someone other than Juanita so that they don't have to see each other anymore. She gives him back all the gifts and things that he gave her.
There's a brief scene where Teo runs into Max.
Abi and Mat go visit Domingo. They promise him they will get him out of the orphanage soon. Minho figures out Diego went to jail. Later, A & M visit Diego. Diego is upset about what happened at La Enramada. Having been visited by Ren earlier he knows that he's not her brother and wants to get back with Abi. Mateo awkwardly witnesses as Diego says he wants to marry Abi.
Fausto and Elena chat. He tells her the "good" news that he unmasked Diego. He knew all along that D wasn't Ren's bro. He says he hopes Diego will stay in jail. Elena hopes he had nothing to do with Diego's current situation. He assures he does not. He reminds her that they both have his brother's death weighing on them. Elena remembers when Fausto made her promise in front of Gerardo's grave that no one will ever know that Mateo is really Fausto's son. Elena remembers that Fausto told her he would never marry her because he was with someone else. Elena asks if he remembers who that other woman was. He says he doesn't. Elena says she saw him with that woman kissing. She says she decided to go find out who that woman was and found out that that woman worked for Don Bruno. Her name was Isabel and she was Vicenta's daughter. She, just like Elena, was pregnant at the time. Elena then asks Fausto the million dollar question: Have you ever thought that Diego could be your son?

Lo Imperdonable #13 Wed 6/3/15“Martin Continues With His Willful Blindness About Veronica, or as they say in Mexico, No Hay Peor Ciego Que El Que No Quiere Ver”
(I’m skipping all repeated scenes; also, some scenes are
combined)
Martin’s Mexico City office. I’ll start with a question – who spreads
photos of his brother everywhere in the office?
I guess Dimmy was more a son than a brother to Martin. Anywho, within seconds of Claudia dropping a
photo and V-Snake picking it up, Claudia is already spilling the beans about
the Dimmy-Martin connection and Dimmy’s recent death. V-Snake seems genuinely shocked to learn that
Dimmy is dead. Claudia realizes her
indiscretion and begs V-Snake not to say anything about it to Martin. No worries, says V-Snake, but I want to ask
you a favor in return.
Mina Escondida. NanC has set up a little shrine for her
dearly departed Dimmy, complete with burning incense. She remembers Dimmy telling her that his brother
will surely “love” her (“querer”) as much as he loves her. (Looks like NanC may have confused the
meaning of “querer” – to love – with the meaning of “amar” – “to be in love
with”.) Perhaps she burned peyote
instead of incense, because now NanC is hallucinating – she sees Dimmy’s bloody
face through a window, causing her to mouth something unintelligible about a
“mala mujer”.
Vero’s Office. Emi visits Vero in her office and is all
business with her, coldly telling her he needs a budget from her. He starts walking off, then turns and congratulates
her on her engagement. She thanks him
but tells him his attitude is putting a damper on her happiness. He rudely says that her affection for him
must not be all that much, because it’s not going to stop her from going
through with her plans to marry Martin.

La Sombra del Pasado #77 6/3/15
I'm subbing for Kat tonight. I don't know whether to tell her she owes me big time (because there were some things that really upset me or squicked me out) or thank her profusely for needing the sub (because there was some great stuff.)
I really feel like there are two writing teams. One is an expert team that's great at character development, creating tension and storytelling. The other team is a bunch of high-school sophomores cutting and pasting from the internet.
And they've inexplicably given the cut and paste team the main storyline.
I've organized this by writing team and then by events. Things may be a little out of order and highly condensed.
The Cut and Paste Sophomores
After overhearing Cris's call to the lab, Cande realizes they can't let him leave the house. She tells Sev as much. They can't let Cris send off the samples.
Cris is getting Aldonza's sample ready. He hears Cande screaming for help. He puts the envelope under some gimcrack on the mantel and goes to investigate.
Sev fakes some kind of attack. While Cris is helping Sev, Cande goes to snoop in Cris's room. See? I told you. Sophomores. Needles to say, she finds the envelope. She tells Cris to tell Mel to get the car ready. She tells Dom to go with him. Once alone Sev tells Cande they can't get rid of the sample or Cris will know. Cande has another idea. We aren't exactly sure what because the next we see of the envelope, Cande it returning it to the mantel. By the time Cris gets back to his father's bedroom, Cande is back in place. It's like the end of an Agatha Christie movie. Both Sev and Cande inform Cris that they won't need the car. Hum told them that Sev just needs to rest.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 95 " Let's just sleep together with nothing going on"
Recap (In no particular order):
- In his goody goody mood, Faust drops the balls to Ren that he is the Padre Of all the Dumbs that are sacred ( They're still innocent fragile human beings, they just lack a brain) , Mateo. Ren tells that she already knew because Helena told her. Faust is obviously molested with Hell trading secrets like cooking recipes. He pretends that he compares himself with Ren because they both have a special someone and a deadly truth to accompany their sad life stories . Ren also gets served his weak side of fake penance. He also assures that his stuff with Diana ended when he discovered that he was not the only one driving Di mad ( Oops i meant the word Mattttt) .Ren sucks it all in like a fifth grade risotto. Those are Sev's Heavens indeed. Candy atleast knows her rotten plate, but Ren keeps acting like Virgin Mary . Oblivio is Einstein compared to Ren.
- Diego encounters Lucio in his house holding Domingo by his mouth. Diego of course snarls at Luc as the authorities arrive with him demanding Barragan but of course these bimbos are Fed's wises Lucio so he's getting nailed for a long long time. Luc is disgusted by Diego as he demands for the Fed's to take him away as Dom also gets taken away by force. Luc later gives some Fed a stash of money for playing his part in the deadly game as an useful idiot.

Oh this novela might drive me crazy, last night made me want to stab someone and we are only 12 episodes in, will this recapper survive?
Let's get to it, it will be a little bit short but only because I have work that I need to get to. Here we go:
Martin meets with Jorge to discuss becoming his gold vendor, he will also take the opportunity formally ask Jorge for Veronica's hand in marriage. The two men meet, as far as the business deal goes Jorge accepts Martin as his gold provider but he will only agree to a one time deal, if things work out he will offer Martin a long term arrangement. Then they start to discuss Veronica and my blood starts to boil, if the rest of my recap sounds grouchy it's because I was grouchy watching this mess.

La Sombra del Pasado #76 6/2/15 Close Your Damn Doors!
RECAP BY HELLASHELLE
Short: Sev tells PJ about the night Ray died, but not about the rape; PJ struggles hard to deal with his newfound hatred. With Eman’s help, Cris sneaks into Aldie’s room and cuts a lock of her hair. There’s no water at Las Animas or El Santuario. Cris asks Ren to delay the divorce; Ren refuses. Cris tells Cande the divorce will take 3 months. Cande overhears Cris asking a DNA clinic if the test can be done without the dad.
Long:Severiano continues to torment PJ. He fills in the details of Raymundo’s death: that Ray caught Sev and Rob together and attacked him with a machete, leading to Sev’s losing his arm. When PJ asks why Sev’s telling him this after all these years, Sev says that he wants to make PJ an accomplice to his sins. He adds that he wants PJ to know why he’s always hated the Alcocers: Because their family got the lands the Mendoza’s once owned, because Raymundo made him an invalid, and because Roberta made him lose his family. He says PJ can’t do anything to him now, just like he couldn’t do anything when Aldonza needed him most. He doesn’t elaborate on this and PJ assumes he’s talking about the war between he and Aldonza. PJ tells Sev that his own actions brought all of this on, he can’t blame others. Sev says even if that’s true, he doesn’t care: Aldonza will still pay. PJ takes this as a confession that Aldonza’s not his daughter, but Sev says he never said that and PJ will never be able to prove it. Once Sev crosses himself and starts to leave, PJ grabs him and it about to give him the beating of his life when he looks up and sees a Virgin Mary statue. Sev laughs evilly in the background as PJ helplessly lets him go, hands tied by the rules of his faith. As PJ cries, staring at the statue, Sev creeps up behing him and says he hopes PJ can sleep soundly now.

Truth bombs, truth bombs everywhere! La Sombra Del Pasado#75 06/01/2015
Hi Patio peeps! I've been missing in action due to work commitments but here I am with your Monday recap, I'm going to cover the small things that happened in the episode first and then we will move on to the real action, you might want to have some wine/tequila by your side, you'll need it! Oh, also events are totally out of order but it makes my job faster and easier!
Renato, Cris and the Aldi drama
Renato serves Cris with the divorce petition, Sev and Cande both have smug looks on their faces, I wish I could slap them. Later, Renato informs Aldonza that he has delivered the paper work to Cris and suggests that things could move along faster if she told the court that she and Cris are brother and sister, she refuses and says that that subject will never be spoken about.
Cris goes to see Aldi and says that he will not divorce her, he begs for her to take the DNA test, but again, she refuses, well, he puts his foot down and says he will not agree to a divorce unless she takes the test, and then they argue about Valeria (yawn). I like Cris, I like Aldi, I do not think they should be together. I also should add, that I feel really badly for Cris who always sounds like he's on the verge of tears.
Two witches go shopping:
Val and Pru are on their trip in Huston, while there Candela calls Vale to tell her she's needed in Santa Lucia, Cristobal needs someone to comfort him and Aldonza is no longer a threat, Val looks like Christmas came early, she asks what's going on, she wants details but Candela refuses to tell her anything over the phone. Once the call ends Val tells her mom something important just went down, both of these wenches seem to believe that Cris will end up getting married toHoney Boo BooValeria, and they make plans to go look at wedding gowns. *Ahem* when a guy dumps you for a girl he barely spent three days with don't you think you should just give it up? Can we get her a copy of "He's just not that into you?".

Amores con trampa #46 and #47 6/1/15 & 6/2/15
I looked forward to watching this all day and I was not disappointed.
HilMare is a delightful troublemaking addition to the story. I can't wait for Rocio so slap the Beto, Betito, Betote right out of her!
Francis and her minions of evil accost Carmen and Hilda Mecha (HilMare ™Marta.) Francis makes snide comments about their fashion sense and HilMare is all "come at me bro." (I highly recommend you do a google image search of that phrase. There are some hilarious picutres.) Francis backs up. hahaha! Her minions look a little happy to see someone stand up to her. Carmen and HilMare get in the RancheritaMobile and leave. Francis starts screaming about the plague infesting the university.
Facundo came home to look for some papers. Maria catches him and tries to convince him to stay and eat some pork dish with verdolagas. He turns down her invitation, but she still wants to talk to him. She asks if he knows why Santi fired Esteban. When Fac says he doesn't, she tells him it had to do with Isa. She explains that she just saw Esteban giving Isa a huge kiss and that Isa slapped him.
