Antes Muerta que Lichita #13 Thursday 10/8/15: The Episode Where Lichita has Finally had Enough!


Alternative Title: Luciana Goes Through the Worst Day of Her life while Viewerville Revels in her setbacks.

Great episode so lets jump right in!

Luciana is somewhat impressed that Lichita figured out her fabulous tastes so quickly. Well Lichita is just soooo grateful towards Luciana for getting her job back. Honestly, she just hopes that sooner rather than later they could become friends. Luciana appears to think very hard but then rejects Lichita flat out. Luciana could never become friends with someone so low on the totem pole Puh-leeze! Luciana wants Lichita to work on gathering all there is to know about the Shoe Campaign (Grimwali??). Lichita sarcastically also offers to freely give her ideas and phrases in this report to which the ever confident Luciana rejects. Puh-leeze! What does someone like Lichita know about an elegant, sophisticated, shoe company like Grimwali(??).

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 63 Thu 10/8/15: Weasels Get Their Way...Or Do They? (Also: Ivana sees the light?!)

Scenes merged and order slightly rearranged and whatnot for summary purposes-

Rewind on…
  • Adrian going over Max’s predicament. Clearly I wasn’t paying attention last night, but as Vivi and Anon207 pointed out, the severity of Dan’s injuries weighs heavily on whether or not Max stays in lock up or can pay a fine for the awesome beatdown he gave Dan. If the doctor signs off on Dan’s injuries being worse than they are, then it’s up to Dan to drop the charges. (Meaning Max would be totally screwed.)
  • Claudio trying to convince Dr. Medina to tell him what went down with Ursula and Hector’s death. He promises Ursula won’t find out.
  • Ivana telling Jacinto to hit the road and Jacinto threatening to kill Dan as revenge. Ivana tells him where Dan is.
  • Dan claiming his beatdown was all part of his plan to take Max down. Now he’s got Max and MD over a barrel.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #33 Thu 10/8/15 (Mex 45)

Indulge me a moment: When I actually sit down and watch an episode from start to finish, it's not half bad. It's got good music, decent performances and costuming that I like or is perfect for making fun of. It's just not a show that I find myself making time for until I have to recap it.

Anyhoodle...the recap. It's not even half-assed today. It's quarter-assed.


The super-duper condensed, hellashelle-patented short version:
  • Fi cries about marrying Vito and about Pedro sleeping with Sonia and giving Aitana a ring.
  • Pedro tells Fi he loves her and will fight for their love. Then he asks Fi if she will, too. (Um. I'm having flashbacks of the repetitious Gata over here....)
The only slightly longer, out-of-order highlights version (with "highlights" being a term looser than Freddie, Roxy and Sonia's morals.)

Benito drives Fi to her funereal wedding dress fitting.

Vito is there waiting with Raymundo. Vito talks to Ray about Fi. Is not so sure Fi loves him. The fact that she has not arrived for the fitting speaks volumes. Vito is canceling the wedding and the fitting when Fi finally arrives. It's been almost 12 hours and I'm still shaking my head. Vito is thrilled. This would have been a perfect time for him to keel over from a massive heart attack because of the shock, but the writers didn't see it my way. Vito wants to stay for the fitting, but Fi and the designer convince him that's bad luck.

The back story? Benito spent a lot of time trying to convince Fi not to honor her ridiculous promise. Fi told Benito about seeing Pedro "give" that ring to Aitana. That's why she's marrying Vito. She was crazy to think she could have Pedro. hmmm. The way I'm remembering it, there's very little logic to what she said. I'm forgetting something important, I'm sure. Weigh in patio.

So Pedro asks Benito to do him a solid.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 62 Wed 10/7/15 Discussion Page - Mortal Kombat!!

Really busy day today so I will put up a discussion page today instead. Hopefully someone could put up the highlights. I have all to thank for your efforts efforts  ( Especially Vivi in DC) and since I am looking for a replacement she is the perfect candidate. I believe she would do a fine job  recapping if she had the time.  I have to say that the beating yesterday that was  received by Dan  was amazing. Too bad Max had to go to prison for these reptiles!


UPDATE: Recap courtesy of Vivi in DC. Thank you very much!



Part 1:

- Replay of the brutal, but oh so satisfying beatdown of Daniel by Max. Ursula and Arango pull Dan’s bloody and unconscious body from the fountain, as Ursula wails that Max KILLED him and orders Isidro to call an ambulance. Max, realizing what he might have done and coming to his senses, tries to help Dan, but Ursula shoves him away, screaming at him. Maleny arrives homes and runs up to add to the screeching and blame throwing at Max and MD. Both Max and MD appear in shock, but hold each other close.

- The ambulance and police later arrive. Dan is taken away in a stretcher, and Max is taken away by the police in handcuffs. Maleny keeps berating him and MD all the way to the squad car, but MD and Max don’t hear her. They share and unbroken and meaningful gaze, until his police car is out of sight. MD follows to the police station, where, after finding out the severity of the charges against Max, she calls Claudio.

Antes muerta que Lichita #12 Wednesday 10/7/15

Well, well, well, Lichita's transformation starts tonight but we will have to go through a lot of stuff to get there . . .

Lichita regains consciousness in the emergency room to her mother Elsa asking how she is. She had gone looking for Lichita because she was late and was the one who found her. Surprise, surprise: Magos is also there. When Elsa saw that everything including the new briefcase had been stolen from Lichita she signed with the lawyer who offered to help them. Lichita asks: so we even owe more money? They sure do. Elsa says that Magos will be taking care of that particular debt but Magos is still insisting on paying for it with her mother's check that they should go and get.

At Augusto's house, he, Beatriz, Dafne and Luciana are all gathered together. He is seated on his red armchair with Beatriz on one side and Dafne on the other. Augusto's new angle to get rid of Luciana is that she might be an impostor. How is he to know??? her passport could even be fake. Luciana cannot understand how he could not trust her. She is a Toledo y Mondragón. Talk to her parents. Do a DNA test. Beatriz jumps to her defense and wins.

Back at the emergency room they are getting ready to leave and Elsa is giving Magos and Lichita the "do not tell your father what is going on because we do not want to upset him" lecture. As a matter of fact he calls Elsa on her cell phone but she does not answer.

Roberto and Gumaro are spending their evening at their "model" apartment and Roberto is actually studying advertising. He has a real book and is learning the definition of certain terms like: spot, copy, branding, etc. He takes a break and quizzes Gumaro on these terms for the fun of it. They love these word games.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #32 Wed 10/7/15 (Mex 43-44)

I'm drawing a blank on the title tonight.  It's the pressure of subbing for Eli.  Send her some good work vibes, y'all!

Oh, good grief, Fi…of course Pedro isn't interested in Aitana!  He jokes that he doesn't know who Aitana is. They're back to making plans about when/how to tell everybody.  But Sonia has already headed back inside, so have fun with that, kids.  Aw, we get so many parting kisses.  *sigh*  I'm taking that as a bad sign.

Gael and Gianna are talking about his visit with the psychologist.  And how maybe it's not so weird to tell a total stranger everything about yourself, 'cause he told Gianna a lot of stuff when they'd barely met.  They roll around with each other in the grass, but we are denied any lip action.  Bummerrrrrrrrr!

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #61 Tue 10/6/15: Countdown to a Beatdown

Parte 1~
Highlights Only This Week
·        Isela’s told by the archivist that it’s odd that Marta’s file should be kept around for so long since generally they only archive files of historical or judicial importance.

·        Maria Dolores and Max plan to go out to eat together that night to celebrate winning the arson lawsuit.   MD mentions she has something important to speak to him about but that it can wait till later that day.

·        Adrian checks in with the archivist and gets told Ise asked for 2 files but she could only find one – Hector’s.  Ise blocks any further conversation.

·        Doris is pursued by a policeman and she takes refuge in MD’s house; Esperanza lets the copper inside.  (Gulp.)

·        Shady Doc gets a threatening phone call from Ursula.  Shady Doc explains he only told Maleny the truth: that Urrrrsula destroyed Hector’s life.  He insists he never told her anything else about the circumstances of his death.  Keep it that way, warns Urrrsula cuz she’s got nothing to lose and he’s got his reputation at stake.  Bah Humbug sayz he!  “--Don’t you dare cuz I will tell all at that point about what really happened!”  He wouldn’t dare!!  Oh no??????  “—Claudio will smash you to smithereens before he allows you to damage his professional reputation and career!!!”

·        The cop says he’s only there to get information about Orlando.  Ari walks in just then.  Officer!  I told you that we know nothing about anything.  We were trying to get in touch with him about a car repair and no, we haven’t been in touch with him.  Orly had ignored the injunction and went to try to see Srita. Isela and attacked the judge at his place of residence.  (Ruh-Roh!  Poor, dumb Orly.)

·        Mal has joined Alma and Ise on the search for an apartment for Ise.  Mal gets nasty and acts as ugly as she looks, slyly pretending to purposely let slip that Alma’s actually choosing hubby Clod’s new little love nest.  So Ise better come up with the info on her papi or next time it’ll be for real!!

·        Espy and MD warn Doris that she’s on shaky ground here by hiding Orly in her apartment.  She’ll go to jail if they catch him and her for aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice –Hey, that goes for Ari also!  What a bummer for the beefcake!

Lo Imperdonable #101 Tue 10/6/15 The Old Goat Croaks, Virginia Finds Her Mom, & Marty Gets A New Home

The Old 

  • Manny tosses AP out of The Goat House and onto the streets.
  • Virginia finds out that Salma is her Mommie Dearest. 

The New

Salma is all alone at the Prado Castelo mansion and sitting in one of the chairs in the living room. As she sits there she recalls some of the most recent moments in her life.

She has flashbacks of: 
  • When Jorge accepted the divorce and told her that when someone puts a condition to be with the other person it means that there is no love there or the love is dying. 
  • When Jorge told her that she lives in a bubble of selfishness and that it was clear that the only person she'd do anything for is her darling Ginny. 
  • When Ginny told her that she didn't have time to spend with her because she had to work.
  • When Nicolas told her that if she wanted to give him an opportunity then he'd be willing to go where she wanted. 
Nicolas is at the Prado Castelo offices and Rita fills him in on the latest office gossip letting him know the reason for the presence of the cops. 

"They call us The Three Stooges" (left to right: Curly, Larry, and Moe).

Botel, Joaquin, and Lorenzo of the fake mustache are at La Perla and asking one of the miners about the whereabouts of Remigio (the guy on Manny's payroll who drove the truck and drugged Lorenzo). They find out from the miner that Remigio doesn't work for La Perla anymore and that Remigio started to dedicate himself to fundir (melt) gold. The latter catches the trio's attention. Joaquin now asks the miner about the whereabouts of Manny and is told that Manny hasn't shown up at the mine all day. The trio now leave determined to find both Remigio and then Manny.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #31 Tue 10/6/15 (Mex 41-42) Flashback central

Well, goodness…at night…in the stable…with a gorgeous horse and a gorgeous guy…in the lantern light…Fi just doesn't know what to say.  Anybody want to help a girl out here?  Anyone?  Beuller?  She's spared from coming up with an answer by the sound of her electronic leash.  Seriously?  Who brings their fiancé-given cell phone to a tryst in the stables?  Pedro begs her to say she doesn't love him and HANG UP.  I'm with Pedro!  Of course, she lies and Vito forcefully confirms their "date" tomorrow to visit Julieta at the hospital.  And tells her it's time for good little girls to be in bed.  Also he wants to buy her dresses.  Gross.  She finally gets off the phone and Pedro keeps testing her resolve, but nooooo…she made a promise.  I make a rude hand gesture.  Gianna comes to find Pedro--Gael needs him.

Antes muerta que Lichita #11 Tuesday 10/6/15

I hope someone will be able to fill in the last 3-4 minutes. Univision has taken to running this 5 minutes into the 9/8 slot...which means a DVR conflict for me. So until Univision honors a freaking schedule, I will always miss the last few minutes. I'll try to wheel and deal with Hubs and see if we can forgo recording Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D or iZombie. *grumble grumble*

PS: I'm feeling half-assed and cranky tonight.


Last Night's Tsuris
The bank calls Lichita to ask about her late payments. She worries about where she'll get the money.
Elsa is told that due to "restructuring" all employees who have been with the company more than 20 years will be let go.
Luciana generously offers to take Ximena's classmates and Magos on a tour to see what Lichita does at Iconika.

The New Tsuris
Roberto continues to be aloof. Lichita notices and asks if she's offended him somehow. He plays dumb.

Nestor asks Lichita to make copies...pero ya! Chuchettte asks Lichita to make copies...pero ya! Nestor demands that Lichita make coffee for the Oki Oki Jin-sei meeting (that was suddenly called)...pero ya! It's all part of Lucifer's, digo...Luciana's plan to humiliate Lichita.

Lo Imperdonable #100 Mon 10/5/15 The Murphy's Law Episode – In which anything that can go wrong does go wrong!

        From Friday:

Verónica and Martín agree not to allow Claudia to come between them.

The Quality Control Engineer examines the ingots and determines they are fake.

The New stuff:

Mad Dog Julio beats Mad Dog Manuel and throws him out of his little shack.  "I must find them," hisses Julio through gritted teeth.

Despite Pablo's reluctance, Ana Perla insists on returning to Mina Escondida without him. "Trust us," say Botel and Magdalena.  "We'll take care of her." [Oh noooooooooooo!]

Pitchforks and Torches in Pueblo Nuevo

Since he started drinking Manny's special (poison) tea, the Old Goat has been feeling a bit better so he decides to take a little walk around the block.  As soon as he sets foot in the street, however the villagers – who would not be out of place in a Diane Arbus photo or a David Lynch film – jeer at him and his sinful family: What's next?  Will Blanquita be following Ana Perla's footsteps?  He waves his stick at them defiantly, but as soon as he walks away, he reflects that what they've said about Blanquita is true.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #30 Mon 10/5/15 (Mex 40) Roxi needs her throat punched, NOW!!

Ciao, Ragazza Italiana Peeps.  Let's jump right in!  Fiorella says NO to the long-haired, baggy-suited, ancient Mack Daddy, Vittorio Dragone, and we all heave a sigh of relief!  Nope!  She will stay at El Rancho de Los Angeles; she wants to clear her name and besides, she likes her work and is not just going to leave Sra. Eloisa alone suddenly.  She will come to his home only after the wedding.  Very well.  Vitto has two conditions:  She must tutear him (use the familiar form of address) and they must spend as much time together as possible!  Fiorella's eyes are NOT burning with anticipation.

Gigi runs into the kitchen to continue working with Gael on her college registration stuff.  The rabid racoon, Roxi, enters the kitchen hissing and spitting and tries to pick a fight about Gigi having been in the car the night Benito took her and drunk Aitana to the club.  Since this doesn't get Gigi's goat, she grabs the folders with the college papers, pretends to read them, inserting her own childish venom and eventually rips the whole folder in two.  Gianna screams and cries and runs to retrieve them, Gael right behind her.

Here's the other big sigh of relief.  Pedro turns down Aitana's proposition to give their lurve another go.  She thinks that after all they've been through, they've remade themselves and deserve to try again.  Nope!  Pedro doesn't have a head for "us", just for himself and the business.  Sorry Charlie, only good tuna get to be Star-kissed!  Pedro's outta there!

Sonia does a mini freak out over being pregnant and wonders who planted the spawn:  Osvaldo or Fabio.  Osvaldo enters the bedroom, she lies about being upset and proposes they make a little great grand for Granny.  Ooops, coulda really used the tuna line for Sonia!  Osvaldo has seen her use her feminine wiles too many times and they don't turn him on.  Osvaldo's outta there!  Sonia puts the pregnancy test stick under her pillow and texts Fabio:  she's got to see him ASAP!

Antes muerta que Lichita #10 Monday 10/5/15: an episode gruesomely devoted to Luciana's successful machinations. Except for a swimming lesson.

At the police station: "You're the father of that loser? Your daughter's just an assistant, a maid to the whole agency." Luciana blackmails Nacho into retracting his complaint [that she knocked him off the road in the sporty little yellow company car], otherwise she'll make sure Lichita never advances at any ad agency. Nachos sadly complies and tells the desk sergeant he was mistaken and Luciana leaves exultant.

Robert says Alicia's supermarket campaign is more than perfect. Alicia thinks things are going well at the police station but we know she's wrong...

Roberto takes Alicia with him to meet the clients at the Mas supermarket. He's gracious to Elsa. Here come O and his henchpeople. O remembers Alicia but not as a competent member of the advertising team. Rather, as - a cow. All laugh at her, Roberto included.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #59 Fri 10/2/15: A Break-up And A Make-up



~~Parte 1~~

At Ivana Enterprises, Doris and Maria Dolores have just learned that Ivana has a plan to defend MD in the lawsuit over the burning down of her tailoring shop.  The question remains what that might be and might mean.  She immediately calls Max to tell him she’s decided to fight the lawsuit rather than settle out of court.  Max thinks she’s crazy to do that.

At the same time, Ursula and Arango wrangle a bit more with Josefa the Heifer (I love that nick. That’s a keeper! Muchas Gracias.) as Alma looks on.  Josie trash talks about MD and agrees that she’s trash who jumps from bed to bed and the reason Julian came to bash in Daniel’s head was cuz he’s also been sleeping with her.  Alma says she’s there to find out the real reason Daniel and Juli fought.  She’s worried cuz Maxie is dating MD still.  “—Yes, you should be worried,” advises Ho-si.  However, Alma informs them all that Claudio assured her that Jul hasn’t been dating MD and that it’s nothing but a piece of gotcha gossip authored by Josefa.  Ho-sí says she witnessed the two of them in delicto flagrante herself.  Caras de self-righteous horror de Alma and Urrrrrsula.

At Bustamonte Law, Ltd., Julian thinks back to the romantic lunch with MD and their dancing together.  Max appears and breaks his reverie.  Juli comments that it’s really rough the way life can kick you in the butt in an instant.

Urrrrsula continues lying to Alma how MarDi broke up Ivaca and Danny Boy’s relationship by continuing to pursue him.  The reason Dan went to see her again was only because she’d given him an invitation.  She shows the mocked up provocative photo on his cell phone.  Alma is properly horrified once more. He went to defend MD’s honor when he heard she supposedly had slept with him as well.  Max says he knows better than that and so know worries.  What he does worry about is that Dan’s done something that he keeps over MD’s head to force her.  He asks if Juli might know what that would be.  Juli stays cryptic.  Giver her a lover’s support.

As Alma leaves, Arango mentions to Urrrsa that Maleny is capable of doing whatever it takes to get at the bottom about her papi’s death.  And HOW would he know this.  Arango stammers out that it would be the number of times he and she have been asked about it recently, right?

Lo Imperdonable #99 Fri 10/2/15 Hey Hey, We're the Monkeys – The Monkey Writers, that is.



My dear friend Elna June liked to imagine that monkeys had taken over the writers' room when there seemed no other explanation for what we were seeing on our screens:  The regulars go on holiday and the simians rule.  Well guess what?  They're BAAAAAACK!  Have a banana!

Party on dude!


She adds a little class to the Patio, no?

Margarita, La Diosa de la Cumbia is still singing Contigo el Amor, as Marty and Vero smooch and dance, all blissful smiles and romance.  


Sure, he's a little awkward, but I'm still glad I picked him.


Magdalena and Botel are really moving!  [I guess those Arthur Murray lessons finally paid off!] 


He's so cute.  I'd totally go out with him if he asked me.


Salma and Nicolás are grooving to the beat.  You can tell they'd love to get up there and show Margarita what they can do.

The only ones scowling are Emiliano and Virginia.  


Put the camera down, NovelaMaven, or I'll put it where the sun don't shine!


Jorge looks on with his permafrost poker face and then turns away.

In Mina Escondida, Manny is anxious for news.

One of Manuel's henchmen tells him the shipment has arrived, though it has not yet been unloaded.  Manuel looks straight at the Patio and swears that Martín San Telmo is going to pay.
