Vino el Amor #94; Wednesday, March 15, 2017: Vino la Verdad


As we left off yesterday, the truth comes out about Marta’s affair with Fernando. Luciana, standing in the living room is shocked at what she hears and says, “Mamá?” Fernanda also looks up and says, “Nana, what is happening?” Lil angrily looks at Marta and says, “Now they all know who you really are! And now they understand why I am the way I am with you!” Marta just looks down and is now looking ashamed and doesn’t know what to say.  Fernanda is just shocked. Lil comes running down the stairs saying, “She took my husband away from me just to hurt me!” Luciana looks up at Lil and says, “Señora, please!” Lil just looks at Luciana and tells her, “As much as it hurts to say the truth, your mother destroyed my marriage. She went with my husband KNOWING he was married to me and she didn’t care.” Marta comes out to Lu saying, “No, no, no, it wasn’t like that at all. I swear they weren’t.” But Lil goes on, “I didn’t say anything. I suffered alone with this. And why?” (Lil looks at Fernanda) “Because of you dear. I didn’t want to destroy your illusions.” Marta tries to get out of it by saying she only said those words to annoy Lilian and goes on to say, “I’m simply not capable of doing those things.”

A Que no Me Dejas, the filler episode #129, 03/14/17

This was a totally boring episode.

 Jaime and Gisela: Gisela meets Jaime for lunch and gets right to the point: she wants a divorce. They don't want the same things any more and heck, they don't even sleep together. Gisela admits they have a wonderful family but that's not enough, Jaime asks her to reconsider but she says she wont. They agree to take things slowly so that Jaime can talk things out with Fabricio. Le sigh, this could all have been avoided had Jaime told his wife that he has CANCER.

• At the ranch, Zeki is walking to his car, cursing Zulima, when Oscar comes and reminds him that he told him working with women would be hard. Zeki agrees, gets in his car and drives away. Oscar laughs.
• The next day, Yolanda fills in Amanda and Lizbeth on what happened at the clinic. Lizbeth reminds her that she told Yolanda the Lucios were dangerous but Yolanda tells her that she’s not going to see them anymore. Amanda doesn’t think it will be so easy since 1) John is her boss and 2) John likes her. Amanda explains that it doesn’t take a genius to see she likes him too. Yolanda disagrees and tells them that everything will be done through Zeki from now on until she can make enough money to move elsewhere with her aunt, where no one could find them. Lizbeth thinks it’s a good idea but wonders how hard it will be to free. Yolanda then asks her how it went with the NY pickup and Lizbeth confesses she was nervous but she made it.

Vino el Amor, Lunes 3/13/17 Chapter 92: Extreme Distress

Some scenes combined for clarity:

David got on Tano's case for getting involved with Fernanda. He started blaming him for Fernanda's depression. Tano tried explaining why it wasn't like that. Their relationship started on her birthday and he was trying to balance it so that he could return to college and so she could pick up her grades. She came to him all upset because of her differences with him (David) and wanting them to run away together. He had refused and she became angry with him. He would not comply with her request that they run away together out of respect for him and for his own father. David asked whether he knew why Fernanda was in the hospital and he said “Yes, because she took some pills.”
Yes. Because she wanted to take her own life.”
Tano looked shocked. Both should have been.

La Piloto #4 3-10-2017: Lift Off!

As we drop into our comfy couches this evening, Monica leads a team to examine the taxi that was used as a decoy and abandoned.  She is curses-foiled-again-impactada.

John and Yolanda finish the flight in his Red Baron (Cesna?) special.  She was loving it.  He offers to teach her to fly – all she’s got to do is say the word.  She asks what’s he want in exchange?  Growing up, she realized early on, men always want something in exchange with a woman. He had to work hard and scrabble for all he has.  A smile from her is enough.  Actually, he’s trying to do right by her for saving his life and risking her own at the same time.  She answers she would have done that for anyone.  (I kind of doubt it.)  So, consider them even now.  Just to be totally honest, though, it bugs her; she doesn’t appreciate being in gunfights or having the police hounding her all the time.  And, so, she’s heading home.

Dave is upset that the Lucios are always a step ahead of him and Monica.  They cannot keep this up or it’s watching over the drug inventory in the medicine closet of the DEA office in Barrow, Alaska for him.  Moni says they captured a phone call between Zeki and Zulima last night telling her there’s been a hit ordered on Lisbet.  (Ms. Blonde Ambition).  Dave remembers that Yoli is supposed to be with her this evening and so her life’s in danger also.  He tries calling but there’s no answer.  They can’t get there in time.  They form plan.  Outside the house, Oscar’s two goons are watching the girls enter.  They call him for directions considering there’s a second girl with Blonde Bette.  Oscar has them describe her and thinks about it.  He tells them to kill her also.  (Viewerville gasps a communal breath of angst.)

Vino el Amor, #91, Friday Mar 10, 2017: Love Hurts

Paco tells Miguel and Susan that he doesn't want to talk to Gutierrez. Susan and Mig thank him for his help and decide to wait for the truck to arrive.

Luci thinks she and Dave will talk to Fernanda when she gets better and everything will be fine, but Marta makes it clear that she thinks Fernanda is in the hospital because of Luci.

People give Susan and Mig funny looks as they pass them on the street. Susan is getting nervous. Mig lets Susan bail and decides to give Carito another chance.

Luci tells Marta that leaving David is no way to solve their problems. That will just cause more pain. "It seems that I don't matter to you," Luci says. "This is all about Fernanda. I need you to be more understanding with me. All I want of you as my mother is to hug me and console me instead of losing the love of my life."

Mark complains to Juan: "You're not my dad, I don't have to come when you call." He says that Carito deserves to die. Juan urges him not to do anything stupid. Mark replies, "If you're doing this because of Perla, just give me my money and then we can end this."

La Piloto #3 3-9-2017: With More Lives Than A Herd Of Cats

[My apologies, but I am living the recapper’s nightmare with only a poor quality video, bad audio, machine gun Spanish, and no CC’s. On Demand and Hulu+ are a bit behind.  But who’s complaining? –ed.]

(And this is just in the first ten minutes.....)

Viewerville is at the edge of their seats as Yolanda, John, and Zulima take an unexpected air born detour to the creek bed hundreds of feet below in the red bug. Dave/Arturo and Monica look on in horror.  Dave thinks on his feet and immediately grabs a rope; he then heads down the branch-filled  cliff side.  Suddenly there’s an explosion.  More horror as we learn Dave’s knocked cold—but only momentarily.  He heads back down and another policeman comes down with a fire extinguisher.  They see all have escaped into the deep-forested hillsides.

La Piloto #2 3.8.17: In Which Yolanda Is In Three Shootouts

• The police knock on the bathroom door as Yolanda silently freaks out. Think quickly, she hides the suitcase under one of the ceiling tiles as a female military officer opens the locked door and asks her to step into the hallway so the officers can search the bathroom with the dog.
• In the hallway, the officer body searches her and asks her where she comes from, when she got to Colombia and how many bags is she carrying. Yolanda came from Mexico today and she only has her purse and one suitcase with clothes. The officer tells her that she can’t lock a public bathroom and search her bags. They find exactly what she told them and assume the dogs made a mistake. They apologize for their mistake and let her go.
• Yolanda goes back into the bathroom and retrieves the money from the ceiling tile. She opens up the bag, sees that the money is gone and calls Zulima to ask her why she never told her there was money in the bag. Zulima lies says she didn’t know about the money or whom it was for. Yolanda admits that she was robbed and Zulima freaks out, confessing that they are going to kill them both if she doesn’t show up with the money. Yolanda offers to go to the hotel and explain what happened but Zulima tells her that she has no idea who she’s dealing with and hangs up.

Vino el Amor #88, Tuesday, March 7, 2017: Vino el Fer Whisperers, or Not


In this episode, Fer is upset. VERY UPSET. She's running here. She's running there. She's running back. Many try to reason with her. Few, if any, succeed. She's in full meltdown mode. Who will be the Fer Whisperer? Will anyone be the Fer Whisperer?! Please, someone, step in and soon.

Also, Gutierrez frets about his upcoming charity event, which I think is going to be screencap gold given the participants and the initial planning session. Carito and Perla are at odds, while Miguel is on the track for finding out what's going on with the illegal trafficking.

Some scenes combined for clarity:

Luciana remained calm in the face of the screaming banshee Graciela, who swore she would turn David's children against her. She finally delivered a sound slap at the insult to her moral fibre and stared her enemy right in the face. Too cowardly to answer back in kind, Gracie delivered one more such insult before turning tail and leaving. Luciana slapped the table in frustration.

We begin where we left off yesterday as David announces to DisGrace that he is planning to buy her out of their partnership and dissolve it. DisGrace is not happy about this and begins to protest. “What”, says DisGrace, “Are you saying that I’m just like Juan? How could you? I thought you said everything was fine with us. Oh, I see you are doing this because of the olive orchard thing.” David says, “I’ve already told you that I wanted to dissolve our partnership, it’s just the best thing to do.” DisGrace continues to whine, “But WHYYYYYYYYY……????” Dave explains, “Look, I’m doing this for my children because I don’t want them to have any problems later on down the line.” DisGrace replies, “Well do you really think I’d leave them unprotected?” (Yeah DisGrace, I DO think you’d take all their money and run with it.) Dave says, “No I don’t but things have changed and it’s clear to me that you cannot separate our professional and personal realms together. It’s just best that I do things this way.”

Vino el Amor #82 - Friday 2/24/2017: Juan 1, David 0, DisGracie -1, the match is even

Out in the vineyard, David tells Luci his kids are backing off letting him have a relationship with any kind of evil stepmother. He doesn’t understand their change of opinion. Luci persuades him to delay saying anything right now about their relationship, rather than risk upsetting the whole grape cart they’ve filled with their juicy dreams. She’ll keep working on her relationship with Fer. They exchange “Te Amos” and a river of spit.
 
David and Luci getting more face time but, sadly, there kisses look a little painful. Anyway, I'm buyin' it because I wanted them together. (Lila)  I really have to fault Lucia, her besos seem emotionless and robotic. If they are really to be believable together, they must emanate some genuine chemistry which is sadly lacking currently. (Diana)
 
Sonia is telling Leon in the kitchen that Lil is not in a very good mood since Gut left her high and dry. Then the talk turns toward their latest romance novel.
 
Leon lets her know he better not be a substitute for anybody (like El Patrón, Sr. David), not like some character in their romance novel. She swears he's not. The Leon that takes no crap is kinda sexy. (Niece)  I'm thinking these two might have a real future with each other after all! (Diana)
 
Bobby & Charlie are in town heading for the candy store counter, discussing candy choices and evil stepmother choices when a pig-tailed beauty enters the store. Charlie pushes Bobby towards her. Bobby is delighted she speaks soccer. He finds out she also likes video games and she quickly seduces him into a date.
 
Now looks like Bobby will have a little girlfriend too. Gawd. (Tofie) Did we really need to introduce a girlfriend for Bobby? What is he..8 ? (Susanlynn)  Bobby's new girlfriend maybe will go on about how her new Mom is the coolest thing since sliced bread. (Kirby)

This episode was kind of a mish-mash transitional episode. David is happy, not grumpy, but he makes a lot of other people grumpy with the news that he's got a new girlfriend! And her name is not Gracie, which makes Gracie quite unhappy. Fer is happy about her new boyfriend, but not so happy about Dad's new girlfriend. Miguel still seems like he's heading for a new novia himself though, even though he still keeps reaching out to the old one.

(Just a small note that I'm scheduling this post early because I'll be busy all day Wednesday and Thursday. So if I missed anything, just please correct me in the comments. Thanks in advance for all comments!)

Vino El Amor #78 Friday 2/17/17 -- Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you....

No party is a party without a little drama, tears, fights, the party crasher and that one guest who has to be a party pooper! I counted three in this episode. 

Fer can't believe this is happening, but Tano says this kiss is filled with all of the affection he feels for her.  She's a magical girl..a princess and the more he gets to know her the more fond he becomes of her.   He thanks her for everything she's done and for making him smile again.   Fer says if tonight was already perfect, he's made it unforgettable. They share another sweet kiss before Tano thinks it's best they go back inside before Fer's father realizes they're missing.  Fer says she'll treasure this moment forever.

David apologizes, but DisGrace is insistent about “What the hell is going on, so why did you think it was Luciana? Why did you think it was her and why did you confuse me with her?” David just replies that nothing is going on and to PLEASE forget it! But DisGrace continues to insist that she will not forget it.

Vino el Amor #76; Wednesday, February 15, 2017: Blessings, parties, thieves, and guess who came home?

Repeated scene: Luciana argues with León about her relationship with David, finally gets tired of the gossip, and admits to León that she and David are together. Meanwhile, Marta is on the stairs listening and then she has a hissy fit with Luciana about her relationship with David. Lu explains that she tried not to get involved, but admits that David is the man she loves. Marta says, “No, that can’t be!” Marta begins to grab Lu and shake her and tell her she doesn’t want Lu to suffer all her life. Of course Marta is projecting her own bad experience on to her daughter believing it’s the same thing. Lu explains that her love for David is very strong and she will suffer without David. She just feels very badly about hurting Miguel and having to hide this from everyone. Marta is talked out and says “Good night”. She is very angry with Lu. [Marta better get a grip here and give her daughter the freedom to choose her own man.]

In other words, go on your Valentine's Day date and skip this one! Although it did feature rare smiling from Grumpy David and about two seconds of Luciana actually working!

Some scenes combined for clarity:

During the confrontation with Erika, Luciana accused her of attempted corporate espionage and of moving in on Miguel on the heels of their breakup, even of trying to poison his mind against them. Erika said that Miguel is a better administrator than whatever they have but Luciana has no authority over that. She noted that Luciana didn't try to accuse her of stealing Miguel as a novio.

Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey Tells Us What’s Happening in Mexico (2017)

The following post is from Commenter Stevey, who shares all he knows about the new telenovelas in the works in Mexico, that we may or may not see eventually in the U.S.

Hi everybody!!  In the past, I've tried to put together a little 'fact sheet' for you guys in regards to what's going on telenovela-wise 'South of the Border', in the land where they come from!   As I realize that whatever it is the staggeringly disgraceful boobs at Univision decide on by way of programming, will ultimately entail just what it is that YOU guys get to watch up yonder, America-way.  Some will make it, some will not... and god knows which will be which (hell, with the Univision execs being what they are, I doubt even HE knows!).  But, that being said, I wanted to come up with a post that hopefully you will find informative, enlightening, useful, entertaining, or any combination therein!  I apologize for its stupefying length, but it's a labor of love to be sure (I just hope it isn't as such reading it!)  To avoid editorializing (I unfortunately do that enough once I get going, for which I apologize... FWIW, I'm writing this paragraph last, so I know what I'm talking about here...), I'm just going to get right in on things, and on the projects that we've got on hand right now, or are already actively in preparation in some way...

Vino el Amor – Episode #73 – Friday 2/10/2017: It’s David and Luci United (Por Fin) Against the World

Some scenes have been combined and may not be in order.
 
Los Frijoles de Ayer
David and Luci stand together in the sunlight on a path in the vineyard, not very hidden from view. They declare their love, pledge their troth regardless of the obstacles ahead and kiss on it. Their first obstacle as a couple is to try to hear each other over that annoying singer who manages to drown out most of their declarations, making it hard for the Restless Patio to hear as well. They decide kissing is more productive.

El Arroz de Hoy
Still in a clinch and breathing heavily, Luci tells David they need to get back to work. He has other work on his mind, but Luci prevails. The walk arm in arm while Luci discusses how to go organic. Although Susan has already given David a lesson, he says he wants to hear it from Luci and listens attentively. He hopes the organic wine will reflect the passion and love they have for each other. (Oy vey, how maudlin.)

Speaking of Obstacles Part 1
For David, his first obstacle comes in the form of a visit from Adolfo, who has come to talk about winning the prize (Miguel, that is). Adolfo probes a bit. He wants to know why Miguel left. David explains they had some problems of late, but nothing to do with his work. Just let it be said he no longer felt comfortable working at Bodega Los Angeles (BLA). Adolfo is ok with a young man wanting to get ahead in life and choosing new opportunities. Then he challenges David to a duel of the wines in the upcoming competition. It’s his bodega with Miguel and Erica against David’s. He’s sure his wine will win handily. David is just as sure it will be his wine that wins because he has Luciana….and all the rest of the workers, of course.

Vino el Amor #72; Thursday February 9, 2017: Will Love Conquer All?


Repeated scene: As Susan is in the lab, David walks in and tells Susan that this batch of wine must be the best in their vineyard’s history. David wants to win the competition against the Santa Barbara Vineyard since Miguel works there now. Susan catches on to what’s going on so she asks David, “is this really about the vineyard, or about Luciana?” David admits this is about both as Susan knowingly shakes her head. Susan wisely advises him to not let this be personal and to keep his head on straight. It should not be about beating Miguel or Luciana and remember the things that are important.

Vino el Amor #71; Wednesday February 8, 2017: Against all odds, the romance resumes


(I am out of town and not able to deliver the quality as I usually do. But I will put up pictures later and make some edits. Most things I've just abbreviated.)

We open with a montage of everyone getting along well. It ends with Miguel giving the keys to David and last report. Marta and the other employees give their loving goodbyes to him.

David and Luciana are in the Cava talking wine stuff that seems to be mixed with love talk. Lu doesn’t want things to go too fast just in case it doesn’t work out. She relates what happened with Miguel. David says they will figure it all out with love and patience. But then DisGracie calls….

Vino el Amor, Viernes 2/3/17 Chapter 68: 10,000 Pieces of Silver


Just the facts, peeps:

We come back to David telling Miguel he loved Luciana and will fight for her. Miguel told him he wouldn't make it easy for him, accusing him of wanting to leave. David said he wasn't going to ask him to but if he wanted to it was his decision. Miguel said he was going, then walked out the door.

Lillian walked in on Bobby playing his video game and tried to give him cookies, but he wasn't interested; Marta had already given him some. She tried a little harder but as with DisGracie the previous episode, they had no interests in common. Lillian looked frustrated.

A Que No Me Dejas #101 Thursday 2/2/2017 --Tainted Blood

Nuria doing what she always does, begins to lie to Tobias.  Why would I want to pull out a gun at a wedding and shoot Alfonso, my godfather? Tobias tells her that she was trying to kill Valentina and Mauricio.  Nuria says why that's crazy!  I may not like those two annoying brats but not enough to kill them.  They were children what could they have done to me?  Well Raquel said she saw you.  Well Raquel is also ill in the head.  She never remembers things correctly.  Tobias can't argue against that.  Nuria says yeah and she also can't stand me, so she wants to blame me, since she needs to blame someone.   What really hurts is that you'd believe her.  Don't you know me?  Tobias head is spinning from everything and what strikes him most odd is that Nuria keeps telling him that Felix and Hector just wanted to rob her father, but he saw Felix actually try to kill him.  Nuria says no he didn’t, he was just trying to defend himself and that's why Tobias needs to keep his mouth shut.  If he says what he saw they'll go to jail..that is if her father dies.  Tobias says no matter what she says, Felix is a murderer.  Nuria tells him to shut it.  Why do you believe him over me?  You just met him and you've known me forever, and I've stood by you unconditionally.  Because Felix and I love each other, he's my boyfriend!   Whaaaa?  Tobias looks repulsed.

David and Luciana are conversing outside concerning Bobby and his well-being. The conversation then gets personal between David and Luciana. David notices that Luciana looks sad. She says it’s just a lot of things, mostly having to do with her mother and Gutierrez. Then she mentions Miguel….David says, “What about Miguel? Are there problems with work? Is there anything that I need to worry about?” Luciana replies, “No, just personal problems. I don’t know why I said anything.” David responds, “It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me about it I respect that. But tell me one thing: I need to know if you have forgotten what you felt for me when you have been with Miguel. Because I can’t forget….” Luciana says, “It’s best that you say nothing because there is nothing we can do to change or fix things.” David says, “I’m not so sure about that. Before I move on to with things, there are a few things I need to take care of and fix. I don’t want to do anything that will hurt anyone.”

Graciela came back for Bobby, whom she had spotted on the floor of the Marital Shrine when he had been hiding under the bed. She grabbed him when he tried to bolt and he told her quite vociferously he did not want to be sent to a boarding school.

Luciana wondered why Bobby ran off. David wondered whether the ceremony had been bad for him, but that didn't seem the case. They had asked workers whether they had seen the boy and David was feeling like an idiot. He thought about when he walked off with Graciela when Bobby had wanted to play and felt worse.

A que no me dejas Episode 98 (1.30.17) In Dejaland, lies are blatantly suffocating any remaining hint of a speck of precious scarce truth.

"Between yesterday and tomorrow there is more than a day,
between truth and lies, between true and false, there is also the "alternative facts" 


Deceit

Valentina has been flashbacking for the whole weekend. She thinks about serial liar René and all their memories together rush back to her head. Oh, if she could turn back time!

Meanwhile, in the Murat residence, Micaela helps Raquel getting dressed to go to the foundation and Raquel wants her gray tahitian pearls but the little red jewelry box, along with all the other jewel boxes, are completely empty. Alzheimer is probably making her forget that she has forgotten where she put them last time she used them, or maybe Mr. Gonzalo have them in the safe- Anyway. 
-Tomorrow we can ask Florencia the nurse- says Mica. 
-Yes. In this house nobody steals. 
-No, no that I know of.

By the fountain, Nuria and Chelo argue about Tobías. Nuria came to get some documents and didn't miss the chance to hurt Consuelo emotionally. Chelo only wants her to leave her boy alone. Nuria blackmails her throwing half of Schrodinger's cat out of the box.

-If you convince Micaela to tell me what I want, what a really really want, to know, I will leave your son alone!
-And what is that you want to know so badly? -asks the maid.
-Find out! Tell me and I will do as you wish. I swear!
I didn't get to see her fingers, but I am sure she had them crossed.

Upcoming Telenovelas: Jan/Feb 2017: What’s Happening Now; What’s Coming Soon?

Amigos,

There are a few changes coming to primetime telenovelas. Here’s a rundown of what’s happening now on Telemundo, Univision and Unimás, and what’s coming soon. Feel free to share any intel in the comments. 

Univision:

Despertar Contigo sprints to its finish. Its final week’s episodes will be shown in 2-hour slots, 7pm-9pm, this whole week. After that, Univision does NOT seem to be in any hurry to bring in another 8pm telenovela, and instead will run the new season of its kids’ talent show, Pequeños Gigantes (the original version of Little Bigshots shown on NBC that’s hosted by Steve Harvey).  

Vino el Amor, currently in the 9pm slot, is doing so well in Mexico, it’s been extended. Let’s hope it continues to heat up on the vineyard, and we soon learn why the Mexican audience wanted another serving of vino. So far, this wine has mainly been making us sleepy.

El Color de la Pasión is in its final weeks in the 10pm slot. After moving along at a rapid clip for 80+ episodes, it’s hit a lull before what’s sure to be an exciting final few weeks.

Telemundo:

La Fan recently started in the 8pm slot, and so far is a very enjoyable comedic telenovela, worthy of the talents of its leading lady, Angélica Vale (La Fea Mas Bella). It’s a fun look at the lives of telenovela actors and their fans, and perfect for anyone looking for a light comedy with heart. La Fan is only two weeks in, so it won’t be hard to catch up!

Vino el Amor - Episode #63-Friday 1/27/2017: Esta Historia te Atrapa--and How

We’re as trapped as those poor undocumented border crossers Juan has. We might have more fun on a scavenger hunt game, cruising the aisles of the nearest Wall*Verdes browsing the shelves hunting for all the products they advertise on Vino.
 
[Some scenes have been combined.]
Ni modo—Here is Lo De Ayer
Graciela, in her slinky, low-cut, spaghetti-strap, black cocktail pants suit, tomato red lips and golden locks slimes her spit all over David’s 10 o’clock shadow. It looks as though he might be leaning in to kiss her, but maybe he just lost his balance. Gracie pulls away and apologizes. His clear blue eyes look after her with interest as she walks away.
 
Meanwhile Perla and Juan spit at each other over their next steps in the police-human trafficking net closing in on them. Juan has changed his mind. He’s staying. Perla says he can’t do that to her. If he turns chicken like his little friend Mark, she’s going to send him packing. Juan takes that as a threat. If she doesn’t like how things are, she can take a hike right now herself. She whirls and leaves. Juan sits down in a thinking man’s pose as his world collapses on him. He knows it, too.

César arrived with the lawyer, then the police came. Mark ran. One cop told Susan she would need to go to the station to make a statement. They went to do so.

Juan panicked about the two investigations; Mark called him to tell him the police are now also after him about Susan and he needs to split the scene.

Repeated scene: David and Luciana talk and cry. David doesn’t want her to be angry with him. Luciana does not want to be just friends But David says she’s changed his life forever.

Next morning Marta, Luciana and León are talking at breakfast and they are grateful for good times around the breakfast table. Marta is sure that Luciana’s work visa will come in. Brian has been such a help and they are glad that Brian has helped with the visa situation. Marta is puzzled as her son seems to be on a food grab. León asks for more food so he can snack later.

Plus we meet new character Ingrid and introduce a wine competition straight out of a Hallmark movie. Oh, and of course, Luciana and David grump around together and separately and break up again even though they have yet to go on a date.

Vino el Amor, Lunes 01/16/17 Chapter 54: Hitting the Return Key


Juan and David disagreed about Miguel, whom Juan is trying to throw shade on just because he is acquainted with Erika. He then handed him a favorable financial report which David should probably find suspect. He's trying to get more on David's good side, where he was before.

León and Luciana were having a late night snack in Mexico City and she was worrying about Erika moving in on Miguel. León reminded her that Miguel waited all those years for her. He's not worried... and very much enjoying the semi-fast food of Mexico.

Vino el Amor – Episode #53 – Friday 1/13/2017: The Amazing Race—Televisa Style

We revisit Miguel trying to put David in his place regarding Luciana. David imposes his position of superiority telling Miguel that what happens to Luci will always matter to him—as Marta’s daughter and part of the family. He felt guilty for not staying on top of her visa paperwork. Miguel reasserts his position by noting that David’s a little late. Tano and Marta hold him back. Marta assures David they will try again to reach Luciana in the morning. David leaves and Marta gives Miguel a look that would be enough to send a small child to stand in a corner.
 
Carita and Perla are in the shelter holding all the illegals, arguing in vain with Juan about the sick workers and the need for medical care. They can’t go on dispensing aspirin. He tells them it’ll take a few days to get one here. Meanwhile, they should calm the workers down by telling them a doctor will be coming soon. The girls say it’s a lie and Juan says, yeah, but it buys them time. Carita is worried that one might die on them. Perla and Juan jump on her. Carito asks if there’s any news on the girl that got away. Juan guesses she’s already in the hands of immigration. If she is, Perla thinks it won’t be long before they are all discovered.

Vino el Amor, 1/12/17, Episode 52

This episode is brought to you by our Sonia; disfrutala!

The episode starts with Grace pouring her heart out to David. I gotta say I admire her for this bold move, but also it was about time and surely David isn’t completely blind. Or is he? He reassures her that his feelings have not changed. He thanks her for being honest with him. David doesn’t want to hurt her so it’s best if they just carry on. Grace wants him to admit that there is someone else in his life. David basically tells G the same thing he told Luci: his kids are his number one priority and therefore he cannot be in a relationship. G calls bull because “Fer and Bobby love her”, they wouldn’t be opposed to their union. Grace wants THEIR family to be united. D thinks that it's for the best. G says that he needs to give himself the opportunity to be happy and storms off.
