Enamorándome de Ramón, #10, Aug. 21, 2017: The Breathless and the Beaten

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick :)

[Previously: After Ramón arrives, he listens as Fabiola tells Juana that she is going to prove to everyone how responsible she can be. Fit to be tied, Ramón calls her on it and asks for how long…just long enough for his mother to turn over the million pesos? When Fabiola questions what’s wrong with him, Ramón reveals that he overheard her little plan to work just until she can convince Juana that she is worthy of handling the money.] Francisco chimes in and asks Ramón, “Who do you think you are?” to which Ramón replies, “Juana’s son! The one they want to fool so they can get the money!” Juana asks Fabiola to confirm what Ramón stated; and when Fabiola doesn’t respond, she looks questioningly at Andrea, then Fabiola. Juana takes Fabiola into the kitchen so they can talk privately. While they’re in the kitchen, Ramón and Francisco get into it. Francisco doesn’t want Ramón to defy his girlfriend, but Ramón refuses to allow anyone to mess with his mother…or Francisco will truly know who Ramón is. When Ramón sees Andrea hold back Francisco and motion him to stop, he backs off and apologizes to Andrea saying that he has no reason to be arguing with the Francisco in her house. Andrea nods.

La Candidata 8.21.17 Chapter 50: Teresa Provokes a Fight With Regina

As Regina and Emiliano walk to the tv station, Gerardo manages to catch up to them and stand in the way as a shot rings out. The shooters hit Gerardo in the shoulder and drive off as the three of them fall to the ground.

The news spreads like wildfire because of the video cameras Fernando placed outside the station.

In his office, Alonso sees the news and shakes his head, angry.

Mario and Noemi see the shooting on their computer and stress about how little information everyone, including Hernan, has about the shooting. Noemi demands Mario use the power he’s always flaunting to do something but Mario asks her to shut up and makes a call.

Enamorándome de Ramon, Capítulo 9; Friday, August 18, 2017: Fabiola and Ramón get to work together!

We left off yesterday with Fabiola announcing to Ramón that she is the owner and wants to know what he is doing there. Ramón is a bit confused and turns to Dalia and says, “Why didn’t you tell me this?” So Fabiola goes on to explain that since her father passed away, she is taking his place. As she is throwing her weight around, her uncle Antonio comes up and wants to know what is going on.
Dalia explains that she was talking to Ramón about the mechanic job there when Fabiola so rudely interrupted and said that she was the new boss. Antonio turns to Fabiola and Fabi tries to explain that her father left his half of the business to her and Andrea. Antonio says, “No one is saying anything to the contrary. But first we need to discuss this.” He takes her aside so they can talk elsewhere. Ramón then turns to Dalia and says that maybe he can find work somewhere else, but she pleads with him to wait and find out what Antonio has to say first. Obviously no one seems to like it how Fabiola just muscled her way into the situation without notice.

La candidata Friday 8/18/17 Capítulo 49: An Attempt is Made on Emiliano's Life--OR--When Does a Death Threat Become Just an "Expression"?

Outside of Regina's office--Lorena is leaving. Mario happens to see Lorena and asks Daniela what that woman was doing there. Daniela tells him she wanted to see Regina and adds that Lorena has no shame. In no time flat, Mario is on the phone to one of his goon-guards and tells him that Lorena is leaving the building. He wants her followed and wants to know about all of her movements.

At Regina's/Alonso's House--Alonso has awakened a beast in Regina with his threat. She is over the top and rightfully so. She did not know that he was capable of killing her. Alonso tries to write it off in his usual arrogant casual way by saying it was just an "expression". Regina is not buying it. She invites him to kill her right then and there. She is not afraid. A completely exasperated Alonso goes on about her scaring Emiliano with jail and how he would never survive a place like that. She needs to realize that. He is begging her. She asks if he is trying to convince her. Of course he is! Is he trying to improve things between them by threatening to kill her? She doesn't know what is happening to him.

Mauro's office--Sandoval, Regina's lawyer, is visiting with Mauro. The lawyer makes it clear that he will not be treated as "second class" to anyone. A pay-off won't do it. If Alonso makes him the minister of the Supreme Court of the land the day he takes office, he can count on his assistance. Mauro tells him that will be impossible. Well, it will also be impossible for Sandoval then to stop advising Regina.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) #71 (Part 2) 8.18.17: All Well's That Ends Well (Barely)...

At the risk of sounding too much like our dearly beloved Regia, I want to say a few words as this tale draws to a close, for some, myself included.

I want to thank Diana, Susanlynn and Kirby for getting this patio going over at Vino as I had no plans to watch Doble Vida but ended up doing so because of you three. It has been a fun ride and I loved how great the story and patio turned out to be, despite my initial reservations.

I also to thank Vivi, who provided the first recap for us. You are solely missed and hope you come back soon 😊.

Julie, RGVChick, and Adriana, thank you so much for your help recapping this novela and a big thank you to Julie, for recapping three to four nights in my absence. Anita, thank you as well for your guest recaps, they were wonderful. In case, some of you didn’t know, this was RGV’s first recapping duty and she knocked it out of the park, no? 😉 Adriana, you have your own little Paloma but you took the time during your busy schedule to help us out any way you could. Thank you.

And finally, thank you to the loyal commentors and followers in this patio. None of this would be possible (or as enjoyable) without you. I thank you all for your kind words, insightful comments and logical deductions (which was solely lacking in DV). See you in the next one! :D


Now, without further ado, Barfest Part 2 (aka El Grand Final!)

Weekend Discussion: Karmegeddon in the Capital: La Candidata


Throughout history there have been many career politicians since Roman times. Some become such because of a need to serve their people and others only for the power it gives them. They often visit the same sick need for power over the people in their private lives.

Those who abuse the trust of the people deserve the worst punishment available. The only problem is that sometimes it is difficult to determine what that is: Should sociopaths like these be executed, locked away, or is there a worse fate in our time?  I ask you all:

What do you think the writers have done to them and –
If you could decide their fate, what would it be?

Enamorandome de Ramon #8 8.17.17: Annoying Grandmothers and Overbearing Mothers...

Hortensia looks the insurance policy over with a magnifying glass and announces that Ricardo’s signature is fake and she knows because she would know her son’s signature anywhere. Porfirio argues that Pedro would’ve noticed too and told him but Hortensia is not listening. She looks through the policy and finds another signature page; she shows Porfirio that there various in the signature, even within the same document. Porfirio explains that there are always slight variations but Hortensia thinks the variation is too great to be coincidence.

Fabiola doesn’t want to hear Juana’s explanations but Juana argues that she misunderstood. Either way, she’s shocked Fabiola would even think she’d take the money. Ramon tries to defend Juana but Fabiola screams that he’s only there to see what he can get from his mother when she inherits the money. She thinks it’s strange that he suddenly appeared, after all these years, but Ramon didn’t know about the money and doesn’t need it. Fabiola explains that she trusted Juana, but Juana lied, and now their trust is broken. Ramon thinks Fabiola is saying stupidity after stupidity but Fabiola demands he keep out of their business. Juana stops them both and announces that she was only there to tell her that she is giving Hortensia the money as soon as she receives it.

Dead Men Rising

[Repeated Scene: Ryan brings good news to Laura—there is nothing left to connect her to the money laundering at Furia. Laura is relieved and gives Ryan a nice long hug. Their little celebration quickly gets stifled when the official comes in and tells them they have found five badly decomposed bodies on her property.] Rosario and Luisa, who have been standing close by are shocked and listen as Laura states that it must have happened before they moved in. The official advises them that the forensic team will need to complete their investigation. Ryan believes that Danilow must have been responsible since he lived there before and urges the investigator to go after him, but the official tells them that his division is responsible for the investigation, but they must wait for the forensic team to identify the bodies. When Luisa asks if they are safe or in danger, he tells them everything looks to be in order so they shouldn’t have to worry (with five dead spirits roaming outside the door). When the official advises Laura that she will have to make a statement, Laura agrees. Rosario is appalled that they have been living so close to dead bodies.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo (LDVDEC) #69 8.15.17: Couch Diving For Murder Weapons

Or Another Bun Bites the Dust

Even though Luisa is there to protect her, Asdrubal manages to get close enough to Laura to hand her a note and run away, though Luisa doesn’t even try to catch him. Instead, she tells Laura that she has someone waiting for her in the dressing room and leaves her alone (!!!). Laura opens the note and reads.

Later, Ryan welcomes Laura to her dressing room with a bouquet of roses (which are part of his long road to forgiveness) as Paloma and Rosario come in and congratulate Laura. As Ryan congratulates her too, Genesis comes and tells them that the Producer Award Show will be cancelled because they don’t have a venue. She suggests they try to host it in Los Primos and Ryan promises to make it happen (maybe he will finally uphold one of his promises).

Enamorandome de Ramón, #5, Aug. 14, 2017: Hortenacious Gets A Flicker While Hearts Afire Get Burned

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

[Repeated scene: Juana lashes at Hortensia that she has no right to run her off, but Hortensia can’t wait to tell her granddaughters what Juana is doing here. Hortensia blasts away telling Fabiola and Andrea that they need to run Juana off. Fabiola doesn’t understand why, so Hortensia explains that no one knows what schemes Juana used to bamboozle her father and now she’s setting her eyes on Julio.] Hortensia alerts them to the fact that Julio was there and they didn’t even know it. Juana tries to explain that Julio was only there to see how the girls were doing, but Fabiola questions why Juana didn’t tell them. Juana clarifies that they were still asleep and she didn’t want to wake them. She points out that she only offered Julio a cup of coffee, just as she would when her bosses were alive. After Hortensia chides Juana for running the house as if it were her own and orders her to get her things and leave, Fabiola stands up for Juana and tells Hortensia that they have their differences, but Juana need not leave just because she offered Julio breakfast. Hortensia can’t accept that Fabiola is allowing Juana to run the house as if it were her own, so Fabiola notes that it’s not the first time someone comes to the house without them knowing. Hortensia is chagrined that Juana already has fooled the girls and warns them that they have no idea what Juana is capable of doing to them.

La Doble Vida de Estela Carrillo, #68, Mon Aug 14, 2017: Someday a Real Rain Will Come and Wash All This Scum off the Streets

Alt title: Pennies from Heaven

BunMan holds a gun on Estela and says he couldn't wait for her to spring him out of the pokey because someone tried to kill him. "Why aren't you glad to see me? Did you forget our promise to be together forever?" She answers that he broke that promise when he tried to kill her.

Flashback! Estela and BunMan are at the chapel, dressed for a wedding. He warns that the police are getting close to finding El Dorado. She's going to let Ryan think she escaped from El Dorado. BunMan asks what she will say when Ryan asks who El D is; Estela waves this off impatiently, but obviously doesn't have a plan. She tells BunMan to get out of there before Ryan arrives and calls the police.

But BunMan doesn't want to leave. "I might not see you again." Estela dismisses this; she'll go looking for him later. It might be a good idea to wait for a while, though. BunMan asks if she's taking that trip with Ryan after all. Exasperated, she tells BunMan to go so she can call Ryan.

She takes out her phone - whoa, does her wedding gown have pockets? - and calls Ryan. (We shouldn't be able to see Ryan and Laura with their car in Estela's flashback, but we do.) Estela whines that she's escaped from El Dorado. BunMan looks on with growing anger as she sweet-talks Ryan and asks him to pick her up so they can be together. He grabs her, and they struggle briefly before the call is cut off.
