Lo Imperdonable #110 Mon 10/19/15 Verónica's men grieve, Martín's women hover, and Virginia's luck starts to run out.


Because sometimes once is more than enough, let's start right in on the new scenes tonight:

Mexico City, El Mercado

Ana Perla has finally ditched the maid's uniform.  And maybe, as Marty once told Pablo, she really does have good genes because now she shows no sign of her recent ordeal.  Indeed, she is bursting with good health in her little white blouse, yellow sash and floral print skirt.  

Arturo invites Blanquita and her cousin to work with him in his vegetable stand.  Ana Perla hesitates.  She doesn't want to be a bother to him.  [Oddly, nobody worries about bumping into the mean boss lady.  Isn't this the market where she buys her mangos?]  Blanquita urges Ana Perla to accept Arturo's offer.  Aren't they one big happy family now?  Before Ana Perla can reply, old doña Fede comes along with her carnations.  When she hears that Ana Perla is looking for work, she offers her the flower stall because she is leaving the city to live with one of her children.  [And seriously, if the old lady is giving it away, how much can it be worth?]

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #40 Mon 10/19/15 (Mex 54) Of Course You Love Me, I Suck-a Yo' Face!

When last we were at the Angeles ranch, Granny Eloisa heard Pedro telling Aitana about having awakened nekkid and nose to nose with Sonia in his bedroom.  "Get in here RIGHT NOW, Petey!"  Granny barks!  There were several scenes prior to the resolution of this little snafu but here's the deal.  Petey deftly questions Granny about what she heard and spins each piece as she reveals it:  He had a few whiskeys at El Corporativo to unwind after a rough day at the office and treated Sonia badly.  He gets away with an admonition not to get liquored up at the office and to offer Sonia an apology.  Granny directs her irritation at the intercom repair dude:  Fix it now or get fired!

Fibrizio, fake shrink, is doing some spinning of his own to try to get Fiorella to say whether she saw Dante and Freddie kissing.  Isn't there something she's suppressing?  Fifi flashes back the five and half minutes of romance we've had in this little tale and after much back and forth babbling comes to the conclusion that it's thoughts of Pedro she's suppressing and she must not!  She must postpone her wedding!  She hugs the confused Fibrizio and breezes out of the kitchen!

Doris was not happy to hear that Maria Dolores was leaving. She was not planning to see Max before she left. Her child was to come first.

Luciana gloats over her uncle's hospital bed. He owes her now, both for the blood transfusion and for her silence. He has to bribe a bunch of people to keep his accident quiet. He promises he will reward Luciana well for discretion.

Lichita admits to Brisa (the hippy chick) that she's in love with her boss though he'll never fall for her. Brisa says, "Give him a push. You'll win him over with your interior beauty." Lichita says, "What, is my exterior so hopeless?"

Lo Imperdonable #109 Fri 10/16/15 RIP Veronica Prado Castelo

Marty, Magda, and Botel are informed that Veronica has been involved in an auto accident where her minivan exploded. Magda cries and rushes to Botel's arms for comfort. Marty looks on stunned not being able to believe the news. They are told that to further traumatize themselves they can get more information at the scene of the accident. 

We take a detour to Pueblo Nuevo, where we find Manny getting his drunk on and recalling his recent rendezvous with Virginia. Oh snap. Manny wants Virginia to be his woman. 

Still in Pueblo Nuevo, we are now taken to Raymunda and Joaquin's new home where we find the two of them cuddling up in bed and talking about Blanquita. They both hope that Arturo will keep his word. Joaquin trusts Blanquita and considers her to be responsible. Raymunda says that Blanquita is young and at the age of making mistakes. Joaquin points out that you can make mistakes at any age. And OG is a good example, because had OG been more firm with Manny, then things would be so different now. Say what? Wasn't he just saying that Manny is how he is because he was born with a rotten soul? Continuity, continuity, continuity. Raymunda says that she had always believed in Manny and can now see that he took out his claws when he had the chance to attack his own family. Joaquin tells her that the baddest ambitions can destroy entire families.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #39 Fri 10/16/15 (Mex 53) Fiorella and the Three Stooges

Ciao, Muchachita Patio Peeps!  I'll pick up in Benito's room where Fifi has had a justified little meltdown in response to Vitto, Pedro and Benito all arguing about her as if she weren't there.  Adela suggests she gets some fresh air and Fiorella agrees and they leave together.  The three stooges pick up where they left off, blaming each other for Fifi's fit; Reynaldo ushers them all out the door:  Benny is still recuperating!

Thugs finish Sergio's beat down with a warning and knock him out for good measure.  Julieta finds him on the sidewalk, a passing couple answer her cries for help and call an ambulance.

You know what?  There is no other thing to call this man except Assvaldo.  RPC on the jerk trying to rap to  Alina, the Psychologist at her office, showing up unannounced and absolutely disrespecting her professional and personal space.  He even comes back later with a present.  My pissivity at her is almost as much as that I have for him. She doesn't seem stern enough and while she does unsmilingly close the door in his stupid face, on the other side she seems to smile subtly and look wistful.  He's a butt hole!  What are you looking wistful about?

Antes muerta que Lichita #19 Friday 10/16/15: Roberto tries to draw a line to Lichita... Luciana threatens Roberto with his false resume... Elsa finds out Nacho's real job... Lichita gets promoted by Sandra and Daphne tells Bea the truth about Luciana.

Good news... i now have a dvdr so i can record the novela... and not miss anything...

ok, on to the recap...

Gumaro is about to open the door, heads to door dancing... Lichita calls out for Roberto, telling him who she is... instantly Gumaro drops to the floor to fake the crippled Gumaro... Lichita pushes the door after he unlocks it and she has to literally carry him to his dining table. Seems she actually believes he dragged himself all the way from the dining table to the door in just a few seconds. He gives her small talk about the medications being hard to get sometimes... She asks about the music that is on, he tells her his therapist suggested to move rhythmically to the music... Gumaro tells her each day he feels like he is getting more and more crippled. He fakes having difficulty pulling the phone out of his pocket to call Roberto...even falls off his chair. He won't let her help him... until he gives in and she dials Roberto.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #18 Thursday 10/15/15 The Episode Where Lichita Mistakenly Lowers her Guard and Luciana's Nice Girl Makes a Brief Appearance


We leave off with the young couple telling the social worker what they discovered while spying on Roberto. They have no evidence to back up what they are saying. The no nonsense social worker
tells them these are very grave accusations and warn them they could run into problems if they continue to take things into there own hands.

Lichita works on the Oki Oki meeting at home and prays that everything goes well tomorrow. Mom interrupts her thoughts to worry over Magos. Lichita chides her for once again helping Magos by giving her money for the tanda scandal she got herself into. Not wanting to argue Elsa changes the subject to discuss how bold Lichita was the day the police intruded into their homes. Elsa also also wants to know how Roberto is doing. Lichita becomes uncomfortable and say they have nothing but a work relationship. Elsa is confused because she confessed a short while ago to being in luurve. Oh look at the time...time for bed and with that excuse Lichita escapes Elsa's further interrogations about Roberto.

Gummaro and Roberto talk about Lichita and the kiss. Roberto does not have time for woman. Gummaro tries to convince him otherwise. He has been focuses a lot on work these days and he also needs to tend to his heart. Wouldnt it be nice if Mateo has a mom.....

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #68 Thu 10-15-15: The One Where the Protag Shoots Herself in the Face and Blows Everyone Else's Life Up Right Along with Her Own

You guys, I might have to stop recapping. Because I’m so done with MD, I might have to kill her.

Recap of Ursula reminding MD that they can test the baby to see if it’s half reptilian. Then, practically in one breath, she threatens to harm the baby or take it from MD to raise it (which is the same thing, now that I think about it). MD glances at Dan, surely wondering how the one time she didn’t just ignore the cat call turned into this nightmare. She slowly walks out, in case she incites the nest of vipers to strike, vowing silently to protect her baby.

Lo Imperdonable #108 Thu 10/15/15 Veronica Gets The Dirt Then Goes KaBoom

Marty and Vero let Botel and Magda know that Aaron has been released from prison. Magda does not take the news well. Botel and Vero try to calm her down by telling her that sooner or later Aaron will commit another crime and it will be back to the pokey for him.

In another Telenovela Fashion Horror we find Daniel sporting red pants and wiring himself up for his meeting with Vero. If Virginia double crosses him again then he hopes that Veronica is able to escape from harm's way. That way, Veronica will be able to use the dirt that he'll supply her with to bring down Virginia. Meanwhile, he'll be keeping the money that Vero has given him. 

In another boneheaded move, Veronica doesn't give Marty details on where she's going and who she's meeting. Instead she asks him to trust her. They eventually get to talking about their love and how nothing and I mean nothing will separate them. Not even death. Annd if that's not foreshadowing then I don't know what is.

2. I haven't watched an episode since last Thursday. Many thanks to Lila and Kat for keeping me up to date.

3. Tonight's episode was the worst hack job editing I've seen. Either it was on crack or I was.

4. Since I may have been on crack, this recap will make little to no sense. Seriously, I can't even remember what happened now. So yeah...feel free to add actual, coherent details in the comments.

Hey, life happens, so…better late than never.  This is very condensed and organized semi-topically

Aitana's parents showed up for dinner surprisingly early in the episode.  They seem…ok.  Aitana's dad, at her request, has prepared a plan for how to improve the Monterrey plant.  Why Pedro doesn't throw a fit about how he's got it under control is beyond me.  Pedro and Eloisa spend most of the dinner praising Aitana and making Fi incredibly uncomfortable. She finally runs out of the dining room.

Antes muerta que Lichita #17 Wednesday 10/14/15

And the story continues . . .

Roberto and Alicia are outside the motel and are being spied on by the Vidal's (the young couple in the car). Roberto is happy that Alicia is changing: she is not letting Chuchette and Néstor boss her around. Well, it was Roberto who told her to learn to eat or be eaten. She asks how Gumaro is doing and Roberto says his illness is advancing little by little but he does not want to talk about it. They get into the car so Lichita can tell him where to park it. The Vidal's are wondering where they are going. Ángel Vidal says it looks like they are not going in and she looks like a decent girl. Marta Vidal says a decent girl would never be at a place like this. She makes Ángel follow them in their car.

Inside the "meeting room" in the "No tell motel" there is a stripper pole to go along with the red furniture. They all start brainstorming so that they can come up with a proposal that is worth a "10". Braulio wants to go retro, vintage, in black and white; Brisa has some graphics already done; but Luciana and her bad ideas will not be ignored. The idea of "angels" is so boring for her she wants something red hot like "Light your passion on our little cloud mattresses." Roberto cuts off that idea saying how Sandra liked the ideas of angels,seraphims and cherubs. Suddenly from overhead there is the sound of a squeaking mattress and a moving bed that poor Alicia mistakes for some worker hammering away and interrupting their meeting. Néstor and Luciana cannot believe how stupid she is. They all start chuckling. Alicia tells us she could not believe she was that naïve or could she?

Outside, Marta sees someone else go in the room and cannot understand what you call people like that. Her husband says a "threesome". She wants to know how Ángel would know about that. He has just heard about it.

Lo Imperdonable #107 Wed 10/14/15 Computer Malfunction!!!

Hey guys. Bad news. I was literally 2 minutes away from finishing my recap and my laptop shut down on me. I can't believe it. Everything is lost. I can't find it. I am totally upset right now. I will do a summary. Hope you guys understand. Thanks.


SUMMARY
  • New character introduced. Her name is Rebeca Rojo. She is interested in Vero's jewelry collection and in Vero's husband. She makes a good impression on everyone. Turns out Jorge knows her father. After some negotiating she seals the deal and shakes hands on a contract with Emi who is smitten with her. She is smitten with Marty until she finds out from Vero (who thankfully did not take lessons from Pablo) that Marty is married to her. Rebeca makes a date with Marty to talk about remodeling her home. Vero can not go because she has a previous engagement (she's going to meet with Dr. Dan to get the evidence against Ginny).

Yo No Creo en los Hombres: #(66-)67, Wednesday, 10/14/15—MD is Forced to Confront the Monsters in Their Lair


Replay/Refrito: Ursula, Arango and Jacinto discuss their plans to take over Vera Duval and make it even more profitable. Maleny taunts Arango about hanging around Ursula for YEARS, but NEVER bedding her—she calls him and Ursula cold blooded. Arango pulls her into him and wonders if her search for a hot blooded man is what sent her back to Ari’s arms. Jacinto comes in and finds them in this compromising position. In his apartment, Max explains Ivana’s journey back to the light to MD, her willingness to testify against Dan, and the scheme Ursula and Dan proposed to baby-crazy Ivana to give her MD’s baby.

The New/Lo Nuevo:
MD is incredulous that Ivana is really going to help her this time, but soon realizes, as Max explains the baby scheme, that Ursula and Dan were behind everything. “Do you believe that the Santibañez want to take my child from me?”  Max totally misses MD’s use of the present tense in speaking about her child, and once again assures her that Ivana is no longer being driven by her intense desire to be a mother, knows that the existence of MD’s baby was a lie, and will now help their cause.

Claudio comes home, and is about to give Isela flack about her disappearing act. Before he can even start, she freely admits she was with Orlando. Then she lies that Orlando threatened to hire Max as a lawyer and tell him he came to the Bustamante house not to see Isela, but to see Alma to tell her that Isela and Claudio are LOVERS, if they don’t withdraw the charges. Isela assures Claudio that Orlando will keep his end of the bargain because he is no longer in love with her, and is seeing MD’s friend, Doris. She butters Claudio up with some caresses.

Antes muerta que Lichita #16b Tuesday 10/13/15: I made a redundant post but melinama says I should post it anyway!

Hi guys! I'm gonna be new to the Lichita team. I guess there was a mixup and Cece was good enough to post her own recap, so I'm just dropping in here with a few notes!

Lichita is definitely enjoying being more assertive: she gets the grocery store boss to release Elsa's paycheck (but she's not getting hired again... the boss's jackass grandson is mostly in charge now), and later talks the cops out of her home when they come with the furious neighbors to question Magos about her skeevy neighborhood savings scheme.

In a cute aside, Lichita says "God doesn't hear people who don't speak up.... And I'm not shutting up anymore."

Lo Imperdonable #106 Tue 10/13/15 Blanquita Takes Center Stage And Danna Garcia Enters Stage Left.

Hi all. I'm filling in for Princess Juju who is busy with work. I don't have much time this morning to write a full recap so this will have to be highlights / bullet points. Luckily, not that much happened last night and it was rather disappointing given that we are so close to the end. I have always liked Blanquita and she's a sweetheart but last night felt like "The Blanquita Show" with so much focus on her character. Honestly, I felt that time was wasted on her when we could be moving things along. Oh well, we'll just have to go with the flow with what the monkey writers give us. 

Annnd now .. it's time for bullet points! 
  
  • Manny flashes back to his nauseating heated make out session with Virginia the previous night. He laments that The Gold Scam was an epic fail and vows to make Remigio pay. I'd hate to be in Rem's shoes. 
  • Marty has been worried sick about Veronica who returns home very late. She doesn't tell him where she's been, but she does tell him that she wants to love him and that in order to have peace she'll have show that Virginia has lied and is a murderer. How will she do this? Well, he'll know that tomorrow night. As for tonight .. let the smooches began.

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #16a Tuesday 10/13/15 The Episode Where Lichita Grows Fangs and People Begin to Notice.

Alternative Titles: Magos is completely and utterly hopeless, shameless and useless!

Old: Quick summary of how Lichita quit her job but family problems including Magos caused her to beg for her old job back

. Robert is not happy with the social workers surprise visit. Her expressionless face reveals that the point…. she is not supposed to warn him. Just as Roberto hurriedly excuses them due to work, a family comes by asking to see the model apartment. Gumarro and Roberto are so busted and the social worker is not laughing along with them.  Roberto later runs after her and tells the truth a little too late. The social worker (I really forget her name) lets him know his lies are not making him trustworthy. His actions has consequences and as a result this will make it much harder for him to receive custody.

. Lichita and her mom are happy/grateful with the $$$ they received from the owner. The owner is equally grateful for pulling off the commercial and her commitment to the company. The whole age policy is something he is not content with but in fact it is not really his rule but that of his grandson who makes the majority of the decisions.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #36 Tue 10/13/15 (Mex 48) Baby drama

Sorry, Pedro, but the Angeles Empire is more important than you are.  Eloisa's just protecting the fortune.  You might be the "favorite," but that just means you have more responsibility.  If Max could leave his "love" behind for the good of the family, she expects no less from Pedro.  The "right" woman for him is Aitana.

Pedro's still resisting accepting his fate and opts to have Fidel drive him into the city, but not to work.

Lo Imperdonable #105 Mon 10/12/15 Aarón goes free, Manuel gets absolution, and Virginia learns Salma's darkest secret.


Verónica and Martín are exonerated and Prado Castelo is released from the clutches of the crooked Italian

Jorge's face is as flat as ever, but Emi pushes out his lower lip in that bulldog way that says he is unconvinced.  He still thinks Vero could have leaked the information.  She could have had an accomplice inside the corporation – Nicolás or Berta, say, who both had access to her password and whose departures seem suspiciously convenient.  [When did Berta leave, huh, monkeys?  Huh?]  

Vero argues that the accusation makes no sense – why would she threaten the success of her own collection?  She offers to show Jorge and Emi her bank accounts to prove that she has no unexplained deposits.  But when the Italian client stops by and yields to Vero's threats to put him in jail as a party to theft of information, it is clear to all that Vero and Marty were uninvolved.  Unfortunately, the client refuses to name Virginia as his real accomplice, but he agrees to adhere to the original contract.  The crops are corporation is saved!

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #35 Mon 10/12/15 (Mex 47) You Got Balls? I Got a Ball Buster! or Granny Throws Down the Gauntlet!

Ciao, Muchacha Patio Peeps.  Let's see what's up with the Mighty Angeles Clan!

Remember Vitto bounching little Beto, Diana's baby, on his knee?  Well, Diana's mom did NOT spill the beans but kept up with the cover story that Beto is Diana's sick sister's baby.  Vitto flashes back to Adela telling him the sister story is a farce.  He asks her name and they both say different names but recover that she prefers one name to the other.  The sister is in the hospital and Diana's mom wants to go visit her and has nobody else to watch little Betto.  Vitto is fine with that, Diana gulps like a guppy.  Diana's mom leaves!

At El Rancho, Osvaldo herds Sonia into their bedroom, pushes her onto the bed and digs her out about not telling him about the pregnancy.  He flings her coat at her.  They are going to a lab to get a DNA test NOW!  He growls again that he will kill her if the baby is Fabio's!

What's this?  Fiorella up on a horse this bright sunny morning?  Gigi begs her not to leave.  No!  Fifi needs to be alone.  Quina is watching the tearful scene.  Fifi asks Quina to take care of Gigi and Fifi rides away!

Aitana and Pedro on the sofa.  Pedro is huffing, sighing and frowing and not looking at Aitana.  She swears she had no idea of Eloisa's intention but would love it if they were together again.  She begs him, for the umpteenth time, to give her a chance.  Pedro stands up abruptly.  He doesn't have time for this, he tells her:  he's got to go talk to Granny!

Chapter 65: Proposals

Doris felt a male hand caressing her in her sleep. She turned over and whispered Orlando's name. Then she opened her eyes and saw Ari standing over her. She had only been dreaming of Orlando. Ari began questioning her about him. She got out of bed and saw that Orlando was not sleeping on the couch. Ari began interrogating her about what she felt for Orlando. She told him she wasn't involved with him and didn't want him either. He finally left the keys and walked out. Orlando came out of the bathroom after Ari was out the door.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres- Looking for a replacement

Hello all . As you may have noticed I have not been active much regarding No Creo recaps. At the eve of the new semester I have begun experiencing troubles on a personal scale. It has been getting tough to get used to it while following shows at the same time. It's easier and more relaxing watching shows than doing something detailed about  them like writing summaries.
I admit that at first when I began writing it felt short term but then I began learning more and more I realized that you are either on a podium or you are not on a podium at all.

During my short term absence I have been fairly surprised that many people are eager to help me out just to not disappoint our  readers.   .  If you can find anyone willing to do it than I would be most pleased.

Participating  on other projects is very unlikely but I will definitely keep mark of the blog because the people on it are unlike anything I have experienced on the Web. There are many shows getting released that I am looking forward to such as Pasion Y Poder , Gran Hotel, Amor De Barrio and  Corazon Que Miente so I am definitely not out of this world even if it it sounds weird  for a man . I have learned a lot from writing here and have enjoyed it very much.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres: Capitulo 64 Fri 10/9/15: So Squee worthy!

Hi all. I'm filling in for JdesdeNYC this week. I'll try to edit this down when I've got fresh eyes, but I'm too tired tonight. But I will say YAY!!! So much about this made me SO happy! So much cuteness, so much of what I love to see in a love story, I almost couldn't believe it! So excited! See you guys on the Patio this weekend!

Scenes sometimes merged and out of order etc.

The Rewind: Claudio’s off to help Max b/c Isela told him and Alma that the doctor upgraded Dan’s injuries and that just doesn’t sound right to him. Josefa pushes for Espy and the girls to stay with her rather than Hono and Julian (so that she/Isela can spy on MD for Maleny). Isela tracks Orlando down at Doris's, but this time he’s not buying what she’s selling. MD confronts Daniel and tells him to drop the charges against Max or she’ll raise some against him for arson and rape! He doesn’t think she has the money or legal support to do it, but Claudio offers both.

Lo Imperdonable #104 Fri 10/9/15 Marty is freed, Virginia and Manny bond, and Julio is shirtless.

Just as Marty believes that his world has crumbled, after being found guilty of fraud, Veronica makes her grand entrance into the courtroom with the evidence that she needs so hubs can once again be a free man. She presents the police report to the judge stating that it says that the gold from La Morenita was robbed by two individuals from the village and replaced with the fake ingots. Judge kvetches stating that Veronica is interrupting a courtroom trail and not following the proceedings she must follow to present the evidence. In the end, Judge accepts to look at the evidence and calls a recess stating that he will make his decision in an hour. After Marty is taken away back to his cell, Veronica tells Jorge and Emiliano that she has found the La Morenita gold and they'll have it tomorrow. 

Virginia confronts Manny over him getting her hopes up by making her believe that he would sell her his gold. Manny reminds her that nothing was signed and besides he can't sell his gold for such small earnings. He'd at least have go to up 50%. At that moment, Virginia gets a call on her cellphone that now magically works in Mina Escondida. It's Emiliano who tells her to cancel the gold order from La Perla because Marty's gold has reappeared. He tells her that the gold was stolen by two miners from Mina Escondida. Virginia now realizes that the REAL reason Manny had for not wanting to sell her his gold is because he doesn't have it anymore. She asks him if he's the one who stole it. 

Salma pours her heart out to Nicolas and breaks his heart in the process. She tells him that she wants to escape from her problems. It isn't the first time that she has done it and now it is costing her. She wants to start a new life free of lies and deception. She breaks his heart by telling him that she cannot leave with him and that it is best that the two of them not see each other anymore.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #34 Fri 10/9/15 (Mex 46) ¡Qué estupidez!

Ciao, Muchacha Patio Peeps!  I'm sorry.  I just can't get all exuberant and jubilant or the least bit detailed and verbose about what went down tonight.  Write this down in the annals of Caray Caray!  A short recap by Lila.  I can't even. . .

Pedro and Fiorella reconcile and share kisses and promises in the precarious, flowered row boat of love and decide to announce their betrothal at a family gathering Pedro has called.  Roxi finds out, tells Aitana who tells Eloisa.  The family is all gathered:  Sergio, Sonia, Osvaldo, Freddie, Roxi, Julieta and decrepit Queen Bee insists Aitana come as well.  First, Freddie usurps the meeting to announce Sonia's pregnancy.  Congrats and joy all around.  Osvaldo has to be prompted to hug Sonia after admitting he didn't know.  Through  clenched teeth he whispers to Sonia he will kill her if the baby isn't his.  Pedro and Fiorella had tentatively entered the room but retreat to just outside the living room at this announcement and Fiorella asks Pedro if he thinks it's really Osvaldo's baby.  Pedro says he doesn't know and is thrown totally off whatever game he thought he had.  Sergio insists Pedro congratulate and hug his cousin, Sonia, and he does with his brow all knit and his eyes vacant.  Aitana insists he tells them why he's gathered the family together.

Lo Imperdonable #103 Thu 10/8/15 Vero goes for the gold – and she gets it! Virginia? She doesn't even medal.


Over Crescencio's Dead Body

In the quiet and now nearly abandoned church, Manuel holds the knife aloft, poised to plunge it into his sister's back as she kneels in prayer.  But when he glances up at the image of the Virgen de Guadalupe, he stops, as if his arm is frozen.  He shakes himself slightly and once more prepares to attack.  Then he looks at an image of Jesus; again his hand is momentarily stayed.  But it is only when he looks at the third image – the funeral portrait of Crescencio – that he really seems unable to continue.  

Bam! The open panel on Grandpa Goat's coffin slams shut! As Ana Perla turns, startled by the noise, she sees her brother holding a knife and she begs him not to hurt her.   He ignores her pleas.  Instead, he chases her around the coffin, determined to finish what he came to do.   Then he stops to lift up the panel and view his grandfather's face.  His lunatic eyes widen – with what?  with terror?  with horror? – and he backs away.  As he does so, his arm passes into the flames of the candle that burns for Crescencio and he cries out in pain.  Ana Perla takes advantage of the moment to escape.  Manuel stumbles after her into the night.

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.

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.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #29 Fri 10/2/15 (Mex 39) Fifi's FREE!

Ciao, Muchacha Peeps!   Tonight's events are very straightforward and simple.  Fiorella is freed from prison and here is a summary of how it unfolded.

Pedro examined the security tapes while Dante apparently lied about having done so and discovered that Fiorella entered Eloisa's room empty handed and came out with the drops in her hands.  She was only doing what she was told, retrieving the drops from Eloisa's room.  Pedro is ecstatic!

Benito makes a pitifully comic effort to throw his (imagined) weight around and then bribe Fiorella's jailers.  They laugh at him and point to the camera which has recorded these lame efforts, which could land him in jail.  Vitto shows up with his lawyer as well and the Police seem amused at this retinue of devoted would be Fiorella-liberators.  They should fuggedaboutit!  There were too many witnesses to Fiorella's crime.  There is no bail!

Freddie continues to work on demonizing Fiorella in Eloisa's malleable mind while the sisters weep, Fiorella in jail and Gianna in their bedroom, praying with a Saint Biagio card in her hand.  At this very moment, Julieta is in the throes of her own agony.  She has a nightmare in which a little girl is alone in a wooded area on a foggy night.  She is crying for her mother!  Julieta is very shaken by this nightmare and Sergio comforts her.  Who is the abandoned child?

Antes muerta que Lichita #9 Friday Oct 2, 2015. Roberto begins to realize some feelings toward Lichita and continues to coach her to get some backbone. Lichita finds out Luciana caused Nachos accident and Nacho accuses Luciana.

I will try to edit this some tomorrow, it is a very rough/raw draft.

Lichita tells everyone that Luciana presented HER ideas… its not the first time an idea of hers is stolen.

Sandra says don’t play games… asks Lichita if it is true that her ideas were stolen again. (Lichita asks us the audience if she should spill the beans)… so she hesitates and Sandra rants at her. The rules of the agency are above everything else~! (and CHuchette and Nestor use the moment to rant at Lichita too).

In comes Augusto and sarcastically/selfishly wants to hear that they have a great campaign idea… Luciana is more than willing to redo her presentation. Lichita looks at Roberto as if asking for backup. Roberto nods a yes to her… (stay tuned…)

We go to the neighborhood where Magos is collecting the money for the tanda… Nacho walks by and the neighbors comment that Nacho is down /depressed. They ask Magos what is going on with her. Magos looks a bit concerned due to the comments.

Augusto likes Luciana’s idea… He says ‘as much as I don’t want to’ I have to congratulate you on a great idea. He did not think she would learn the ‘intribulis’ (intricacies) advertising world so fast. Immediately Luciana asks for a promotion or compensation of some kind for her ‘outstanding efforts’.

Magos tries to get her dad to forgive her… apparently she got a ticket (with corresponding fine) for speeding. (sorry I missed about a minute here)… Nacho nags that there is some missing money from the ‘tanda’ or some money he had around.

Lichita stops Augusto from leaving… she finds some courage… ‘I have to tell you that the idea from Ms Luciana is…’ (she changes her mind half way through) … ‘ … is … very good…. Very good!’. (Roberto looks disappointed)

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #28 Thu 10/1/15 (Mex 38) Hos and Heffas.

This is going to be like a demented, slap-dash collage. I'm doing this from memory and I admittedly only half paid attention to the episode. I'm also sort of in a "logical order is for chumps" mood.

Julieta is still blind. After learning that Anibal is not available, the doctor agrees to let Sergio sign anything that needs to be signed because that's totally how health care facilities work. While Sergio is gone, Anibal does pay a visit. Too bad Julieta is all "is that you Sergio my love?" So Julieta=busted. Anibal=hypocritically offended.

During a meal, we are treated to the sight of Sonia getting sick to her stomach. Now we are all sick to our stomachs.

Drunk!Ramiro interrupts Sonia's nausea and the meal to yell at Eloisa. Eloisa's security team sucks. Shouldn't they be able to stop a drunk, disgruntled employee? He asks Eloisa why she does't just die already and stop hurting peopel. He says she's sitting high and mighty enjoying her food while she takes food from his family. Ramiro is dragged away and Fredericka makes a snide comment along the lines of "how can anyone speak so ill of you, Eloisa? You are so beloved!"

Antes muerta que Lichita #8 Thursday 10/01/15: The Episode Where Mean Girls Run Rampant in Iconika Spreading Vileness with a Vengeance

The Old:

The Mean girl clan who forgot to leave their high school antics behind when they turned like 20 decided it would be funny to turn Lichita’s face into that of a clown. Of course, Lichita thinks they are doing her a favor so she walks back into the boardroom timidly showing their work of art. One look at her face and Sandra looks not at all pleased, Nestor does the predictable and bursts out laughing and Roberto just smirks.

The New:

Lichita realizes the joke is on her once she looks at the mirror. Mean girl clan are really getting into their high school roles and chanting, “She wants to cry”. Roberto shuts them up (took a little too long IMO but at least someone did). He tells Lichita and Luciana that both of them need to get to work and bring ideas to the table.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 58 Thu 10-01-15: Rats! Rats, everywhere!

Scenes merged and whatnot.

The Old: Isela drops a super-confusing truth bomb on Orly, in the middle of her web of lies: she’s with Claudio not because she loves him, not because she likes sleeping with him, but because she must have revenge! Orly looks at her like “whaaaa…?”


The New: No time to figure it out because the cops are there to arrest Orly for violating the restraining order (even though Isela admits that she came looking for him. Doris gets Max who explains that the first two times the restraining order is violated, it means bail. The third time is jail.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #27 Wed 9/30/15 (Mex 36-37) Fifi is on the run!

Ok, this will have to be quick because I have a million and ten things to get to this morning! Here we go!

Julieta is out of her mind because the eye drops that Fifi brought her are actually a strong form of acid that has caused her to go blind- although I'd much rather she had been struck mute, her screaming drove me close to tears!

Anyhoo, Sergio and Gael rush her to the hospital where the doctor says there's a chance she will recover but then again she could stay in this state forever! Sergio tries to make her feel better by telling her that he will be her eyes and she says that's not true, he will leave her to go out and party, and dump her like everyone else. He promises that wont happen and kisses her hand, Anibal shows up right at that moment and he and Sergio start to fight, the doctor has to come in and tell them to behave!

Antes muerta que Lichita #7 Wednesday 9/30/15

Well, the story continues at Lichita's house where they are all so happy with her good news. Her father Nacho is saying didn't he tell her that she just had to stick it out at the agency and it would all work out and their dreams would come true? Elsa her mother is so happy she never threw in the towel. Lichita says she learned howw to work hard from both of them. Elsa says that is how the women of their house use are strong, hardworkers, etc. She, Lichita, Magos, and Ximena all cheer.

Lichita is on top of the world when she gets to work thinking how from this day on she would be flying towards her dreams thanks to her effort and patience nobody or nothing would be stopping her. That ecstatic mood is quickly shattered when she opens the door to her office and finds Luciana sitting at the desk. There must be a mistake. No mistake according to Chuchette who has just arrived on the scene with Néstor. This is the office for the person who is going to be in charge of the "Oki Oki Jinsei(Ginseng?)" Cosmetics campaign and that would be Luciana de Toledo y Mondragón Iribarren who just happens to be the niece of don Augusto the owner of Icónika. Luciana informs Lichita that she is her boss. Could she bring her a capuccino? Lichita says that her boss Robeto Duarte gave her the office. They all laugh. Néstor tells her that that is just a "sueño guajiro" (a pipe dream). Lichita insist they go talk to Roberto. On one hand Lichita thinks Roberto will support her but then again might she be slammed by reality?

In Roberto's office, Roberto defends Lichita and her placement and wants to know all about Luciana's background in advertising. Luciana does a lot of double talk about her experience and expertise. Chuchette just thinks it is bad manners to not trust the owner's niece. Roberto asks if Sandra okayed this. Since it is don "mero mero's" (big shot's) niece, Sandra does not have to okay anything according to Chuchette. It is apparent to Roberto that Sandra does not know and so that is where they should have started in the first place: with Sandra the General Director of the company.

Lo Imperdonable #97 Wed 9/30/15

We start where we left off last night.  Jorge tells Vero that from now on Emi is her and Marty's boss.

In M.E. Marty and Julio run into each other. Neither of them know where AP and Pablo are, but Julio swears that when he finds Pablo he's going to get even. He says that AP is his and is the only woman he has ever loved. His love and devotion would have made her love him. Marty argues that it's not like that because AP does not love Julio. Pablo and AP are destined to be together. Julio says that Pablo will pay with his life for what he did. Marty won't let that happen. How will you stop me says Julio. He is going to find them. He pulls out a piece of AP's dress (that he ripped off her dress when he was chasing them) and says that he will wipe Pablo's blood with it. Marty takes a deep breath and walks away.

Somewhere in the MEJ (Mina Escondida Jungle) Pablo and AP take a walk. Pablo tells her that he understands that she's upset, and he does not want to be selfish like her family. He does not want to keep her away from her family, even though they did everything to keep them apart. He tells her that they will return, but return together. She fears for his life. He says that his he fears more for his heart if he lost her. He wants to return, already married.
