Pasión y Poder Episode #45 Janurary 8th 2016 Erick is found, Aldo flees, and Artie calls Nina by her full first name: Ernestina.


Watch out, Aldo 

Oh, Eladio is really mad now. He threatens to off the little pipsqueak with the one earring if he corroborates that it was indeed him who ratted him out to the authorities. 

Super Augie

Augie has been working overtime (and Artie better give him a big bonus for this) and trying to obtain some kind of legal protection (amparo) for Consuelo and Erick. Artie hopes to find his coward of a son before then. He just cannot believe that his offspring is behaving like such a coward. Uh, really Artie? You should know that he's one by now. He asks Augie if he thinks that Erick exterminated The Ratt. Augie doesn't think. Erick may be the scum of the earth, but he's not a murderer, or in this case an exterminator. Besides, he loved that little Ratt of his. Artie states: that sometimes for love we can do the craziest things. Regina enters and lets her dad know that Consuelo and her baby will be alright as long as Consuelo stays put. Artie asks Augie to please speed up the process to obtain the legal protection. Aye aye, captain. Augie is on it. He rushes off to do just that. Artie asks Regina what went down at The Ratt's birthday bash. He wants to know why Consuelo is being incriminated.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombes #122 Will there be any cast members left after tomorrow?

What a thrilling ride this TN has been. I'm thankful that I got to sub recap for this fantastic show, it's been an honor to do so. Thanks JdesdeNYC.

So here we go, we get about 15 minutes of repeat from Thursday. I pick up where we left off.

Clara is meeting with her pimp who is telling her that heaven is full of regretful people, so therefore, he’s going to forgive Clara and give her another opportunity to work for him, but it’s the last time. A relieved Clara thanks him. Ugh!
She asks him what exactly will she be doing. He replies that if she thinks he wants her to be a prostitute, that’s not what she will be doing. He runs a modeling agency, she would be an ‘edecanes’, a hostess, not an ‘edecarnes’, yuck, yuck, a flesh server. She’ll talk to men and whatever. Clara is looking quite sick at this moment. He hands her the business card of her new client, but before she can take it he reminds her that he gets his cut of the money for giving her the contact. He tells her to call him.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #75 1/8/16... The pot gets hotter about Alicia and Augie-evil in US and the gossip spreads like fire via cell phones at the Mex office.

Aug-evil is trying to booze-out Alicia… She talks while half-dazed about deserving the position she is in… HE reminds her she almost married Alex for corporate ladder climbing… She keeps talking some nonsense.
At church, Alex walks away but Bea catches him to call him on listening to her confession. He is not happy hearing that his dad is cheating on his mom and his mom is playing the social sweep under rug strategy.
Back to Alicia and Aug-evil… She does not like that he cheats on Mrs Bea.  He keeps talking like none of this matters one iota to him.  He claims that he can set apart professional and personal relationships.  The subject of Sandra comes up.  Alicia won’t deny her professional talents but… (yeah BIG BUTT!!) 
She is wabbly and he has to catch her from falling. HE keeps trying to embrace her… ends up holding her face in his hands… and walks her to the bedroom (a little too touchy-feely if you ask me).  She slams the door on his face (unknowingly from her boozed status).  But from the last take of her face, we know she is at least partially aware of what is going on.
The priest and Daphne join the conversation betweek Alex and her.  Bea figures out that Alex being there is also something Daphne coordinated.  So the new plan of Daphne’s also involving the priest also failed.
Brisa and Braulio are in the apt…  She sits on his lap (that did hurt him).  They are planning on a new retreat/seminar… when she brings up that it will be more like a sex therapy course, he is instantly interested.
Roberto and Gumaro in apt…  They are talking about SHeyla’s whereabouts… Roberto has paperwork that shows Mateo has not left the country at any time.  He assumes she could have figured out a way to get someone else to take Mateo up to US. 
Brisa and Braulio are still dealing with her ex-roomie/ex-bf.  Braulio is holding the door and preventing the other guy from coming in.   Braulio and Brisa continue arguing whether the other guy can come in. 
Back in US… Augie-evil is still trying to get in Alicia’s room knocking on door. HE laughs it out that she fell asleep…  He gets a phone call from Bea… She demands he come back home ASAP.  HE is not happy.  She threats him that she will sue him so bad that he will end up pennyless if he does not return YESTERDAY.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #94 1-7-16 Roxy's Worst Day Ever!

 Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!  Mille Grazie!!
Elo asks Fi not to tell anyone about Roxi’s parentage and Fed waltzes in and asks about the monthly deposits ACorp is making to the mystery account.  Elo notices and fingers her huge seafoam green bracelet and calls her Imelda as she tells her, ask Pietro I don’t know about business stuff. They go back and forth for a while over whether Fedrica is in fact Imelda Marcos or not (in case anybody didn’t know Imelda Marcos was a politician’s wife who spent scandalous amounts of govmt $ on clothes and especially shoes, she had like a bajillion pair)

Pietro goes to Rey and Adela’s place where Roxi trying to get rid of him pretends, badly, to be a sister of Adela. Pietro falls for it till Beni blows her cover, calling her by name. Too late to shut Pietro out though, Rox has already let him in and he won’t leave till he talks to her.

Fi has a wonderful idea that Roxi is just gonna hate; let Rox come back to the ranch, but she has tolive w/Quina in the employee quarters. Elo goes for it and wants to take it a step farther and put Roxi to work, Ha!

Antes Muerta que Lichita #74 Thursday 1/7/16: Details are so 2015!

Happy New Years Patio! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season and is having a good new year thus far. My brief but awesome vacation in Columbia has caused me to miss 2 weeks worth of episodes but thanks to the wonderful recaps  (you guys are amazing!) from the rest of the team I am all caught up. Lets jump right in and see what mischief the gang has construed while I've been away.

We begin with Sandra forcefully opening Bea eyes to her husband's philandering ways and linking Alicia in that picture. At first, Bea thinks Sandra is a little crazy for preposterous proposition but Sandra fueled with anger, jealousy and hypocrisy will not leave without destroying everyone's happiness. She begins to spin a lovely but gossipy tale of the Alicia, the "Trepadora", a woman who stops at nothing to climb to the position she seeks. Alicia started with her son Alex and has now moved her sights to Bea's hubby. How do you think she returned to Iconika after the wedding fiasco? Furthermore guess who is heading up the Iconika USA branch and who do you believe is there with her at this very moment?? Bea seems to believe the dirt Sandra is dishing and is devastated. She cannot believe that Alicia will do such a thing after she opened up the doors of her home to her (she seems to leave out the part where she was constantly judging her and her family but lets not get caught up in details. Bea wonders why Sandra is telling her all of this...what does she have to gain? Sandra feel that it is her duty as a woman to convey what is going on. She felt it was Bea's right to know (being half owner and all) even though it was a hard decision for her whether or not to spill the beans. Sandra relays that she will be on a short vacation since she has been fired. She asks for Bea's discretion to not reveal who give the dirt on Don Augusto's side chicks.  With her mission accomplished of infecting her poison, Sandra departs leaving Bea to cry over a picture of her and Don Augusto looking not so happy.  I wondered during this whole encounter when Sandra will out her 10 YEAR relationship with Don Augusto and her willingness to run away to the US with him herself but who cares about details these days.
Point 1: When tattle telling on others it is okay to gloss over your own crimes in the affair.

Pasión y Poder, Episodio 44, jueves, 7 de enero, 2016: Eladio Shapes the Narrative (And Erick Runs Away!)

  
Who would have imagined that one dead Ratt would stir up so much trouble?  Tonight, the gaming and blaming continue...

Bloodsucker

Gisela, determined to turn a profit on her blood connection to Franco, lurks outside the Gómez-Luna mansion.  She accosts her grandson – whose face, the Patio is delighted to observe, still looks like raw hamburger kept a day too long in the fridge – and tells him THE TRUTH: his parents are not dead.  His mother is a woman named Caridad Herrera, she says.  And reaching into her waistband (ewww!), she hands him a photo of her daughter – and Franco's mother.  Franco studies it for a moment.  Does he feel the llamado de la sangre?  Or of the cheekbones?  Hard to say.  But he says he'll need proof if he is to believe Gisela's contention.  She will provide that proof – for a price.  Franco scowls, but he pays up.  Then he leaves her.  As he limps up the stairs to the house, he takes a call from Eladio on his cellphone.  

Gisela scuttles off, but not quite fast enough.   Callao has seen her and now he wants to know why she is there.

Blog mom is considering deleting Caray, Caray entirely. Thoughts welcome.

Hello, friends, trolls, spammers, complainers, etc.,

Behind the scenes there has a been a lot of trouble over the past year or two. Against my instincts I let this project get too big. We used to just blog the three shows on Univision prime time. Now our net is cast across all of Telenovela Land.

We have had almost 18,000,000 visits to our site. Perhaps this is what has made us a target of ugly behavior. We have lost a lot of recappers due to nasty commenters. We have had to delete 1,000s of spam comments from witch doctors and spell casters and plumbing supply houses. We have had to scour the comments for spoilers and malicious mayhem.

Over the last year or more Diva del desierto (5 foot Latina) and her computer whiz husband have made a number of very complicated improvements under the hood. These improvements have answered some of your multiple complaints but the Diva has had it. She wants to throw in the towel. I cannot take on the work she's been doing.

So that's why I'm thinking about folding up the tent (to switch metaphors). People who complain and attack each other and post spoilers etc. have finally worn us down.

Most things online are eventually ruined by spam and porno. One could say about the whole internet: "This is why I can't have nice things."

Have you noticed that everybody who works on this site does it for free?

Another possibility would be to cut back to just three shows and dump the rest of this. I think I could keep my eye on three shows.

I am taking suggestions and comments below.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #120, 1/6/2016: Would They Really Kill BOTH Our Protagonists?

The Old: Ursula talks to the kidnappers and tells them Max has to be in his five senses before he speaks to MD. They wake him with a tequila shower. Leo tells Clara, Doris and Chelito that Claudio is dealing with trying to track down the kidnappers and Max. The doctor tells them Esperanza had a heart attack, and had no trace of any of the medicines she was supposed to be taking to avoid it (too expensive). Now, any stress could cause the big one. Ursula tells Josefa that they will soon be rid of Max AND Claud, but Jo thinks death is too easy for Claud. She wants him alive and suffering for Marta’s death—she wants ALL of them to suffer. Ursula points out that Claud and Marcelo were responsible for putting Marta in jail, but La Abuela was responsible for her death. But not to worry. First they’ll get Abuela to get rid of their MD problem, and then they’ll get rid of her. Marcelo tells Claud he wants a guarantee that his name will be cleared of ALL suspicion before he helps him save Max and MD.

The New:
Ursula tries to calm Dan down after the big reveal that MD and Max are married. She assures him they just did it so that Max can try to get custody of the baby. Then she tells him how Max threatened to charge Ivana with abetting (encubrimiento) if she doesn’t testify. But without an accused (MD) or a defender (Max), then none of that matters. Dan’s ears perk up, and he demands that Ursula NOT kill MD. Ursula backtracks and says it was just a manner of speaking. They’ll just make sure MD stays in jail by having Ivana testify that she was hit and fainted and didn’t really see what happened. They both eye each other warily, neither trusting the other as far as they could throw them.

Antes muerta que Lichita #73 Wednesday 1/6/16 " Augusto in Action!"

Here we go: I left out the Brisa and Braulio nonsense when they were not connected to the main plot. Let us just say they are still lovey dovey. Now on to the important stuff. We left off yesterday with Sandra telling Fátima that Augusto is going to stand her up in Europe for some reason she does not know yet and Detective Carmona telling Roberto that as far as he can tell Sheila is in the US. He does not know if Mateo is with her. He can only say what he knows. Roberto asks if he will investigate to see if she has Mateo with him. Carmona says sure like he has nothing better to do than sit at his desk scratching his belly and looking for his son and his son's mother in the US. Carmona gives Roberto a report about where Sheila was last seen in the US. That is all he can do for him at the moment. Roberto tells detective Carmona that he will get the definitive dirt on Augusto on a silver platter so Carmona will continue to help him find Mateo.

Magos returns to the café from her errand and runs into the bill collector from the bank whom Elsa has pressed into service having him wait on tables. After the usual Magos nonsense, he gets Magos to sign a paper stating that she knows that she has a debt to the bank. It looks like she thought she was signing for a package that was being delivered at the same time. She is not a happy camper that now she has acknowledged legally her debt with the bank. She tells him she will not pay anyway. He assures her she will be paying. He leaves the café.

Sandra is still talking with Fátima who tells her to go on her vacation because she deserves it. Maybe this time Augusto will still actually meet her in Europe. Since the snack "Mis saboritos" presentation is Alicia's she will be in charge of there is a problem. Sandra should just go.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #93 Wed 1/6/16 (Mex 129-130) Maximo, you're a jerk.

The big questions for tonight:
-Will Papi Chulo reveal his true Papi-hood to Gael?
-Will we find out what Fi's plan is?
-Will Roxi accept her enabling mama?

On the first score, there is too much yelling for Alina's taste and she opts to kick Gael out of her office so she can talk to Papi Chulo alone.  "So…you're his dad, huh?"  I guess she did see the resemblance.  She wants to make sure this is managed properly, since Gael is a recovering addict.

Lichita 1/5

Alicia busts one of the heels on her ridiculous shoes on her way into the Ikonica US office and limps around the place with two employees. They apologize that the place is such a mess, and they're waiting for the new boss to come and arrange everything. She also discovers that those two are currently the only employees. They don't let her get a word in edgewise, even as they go on and on about the executive who will surely arrive soon. They eventually find a magazine that has a picture of Alicia on the cover, and Alicia really enjoys their moment of shock and surprise when they realize that she's the new boss. For, like, half a second, she breaks that glazed and impassive generic-novela-bimbo affect that's shrouded her since they dressed her up, and looks genuinely fun and playful for a bit.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres Lunes, 1/04/16 #119



I've been up and down mean streets long enough I thought I'd seen everything. I was wrong. Tonight I witnessed something so disgusting it would make Sam Spade cry. Danny-Boy and his Mama Bear need to burn in hell. I'd send them there myself if there were no risk of being caught. Hell can't be that much worse than the prisons here.

I'm off for a good stiff drink. Maybe that will help.

                                                                       – Dashiell

Chapter 119: Consequences

Honoria was called to testify for the prosecution, but refused.
Because I will not testify to help anyone who is trying to sully my son's reputation. He never was Maria Dolores' lover. He was good and honest, values I taught him. Since he died my grief made me forget those values.” She looked at Hosefa briefly and cried as she finished. Max may have felt some relief and Esperanza, too, but it wouldn't have been much. Hosefa looked nervous.

Pasión y Poder Martes 1/05/16 #42


Chapter 42: Dead Woman Walking

Ah, what amusement: A masked ball! I've always loved those things. They're showy, easy to crash in most places, and full of pretentious fools whose primary need is to draw attention to themselves. Their choice of costume or mask often tells us more about them than it hides. Here is where the powerless can appear powerful, the weak can appear strong, or the evil can appear to be good and moral.
Or wishes can be expressed. And granted. Be careful what you wish for.
– D.D.

Erick Montenegro was showing his worst hubris at this party. He arrived in the black boots, clothes, cape, and hat of El Zorro, the Robin Hood of Mexico. His real persona would never think of helping the poor; if he robbed from the evil he would keep any spoils in his own coffers. Nor did he look at women as fair ladies with honor, integrity, or intelligence. He bought favors from Monserrat Moret and felt daring in doing so. He lacked the power of observation to realize that his money – or more likely his father's money – was of more interest to her than he was.
Also the power of more physical observation because he failed to notice that Callao, the trusted henchman of Eladio Gómez Luna, was standing at the curb just beyond the building's entrance.

Antes muerta que Lichita January 4: Lichita is going to Los Angeles.

Happy New Year, friends. First, I'd like to say I'm not happy with Alicia descending into the "generic bimbo" category. She looks like the receptionists now, only in red...

... and having just now learned of the existence of Spanx I can no longer look at these bimbos in their skin-tight dresses without imagining the industrial strength spandex (sometimes in multiple layers) that obliterates any humanity of form. Pobrecitas, I wonder if they have to cut themselves out of those undergarments with scissors when they get home. Anyway...

...the subtitles were functioning very poorly so feel free to elaborate if you got more than I did.

Master murderer and hypocrite Don Augusto consoles his daughter Luciana over the death of her purported father and says the best thing she can do is get knocked up and forget about it.
