Caer en Tentacion #96, 2/20/18: I Want a Divorce Because I've been Cheating on You for Three Years and It's Time

Greetings, amigos on the Patio. This is my last recap for Caer. It's been a fabulous run and have enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies of this well-crafted story. Tonight the chickens are coming home to roost. We only have a few more episodes to go and I'll be keeping my eyes on all the developments from here on out.

Some scenes combined so it's not so choppy.
En el Presente
Azucena is still talking to Damian. The subject is cash. With difficulty, Dam says the cash for Vicente wasn't there. Azu says she personally put the cash in a satchel and put it in Dam's car, as he instructed. She's offended that he might think she took it. After some back and forth, it's clear that Andres knew about the large sum of money withdrawn from Dam's account. She shares that he's obsessively followed every movement of money in the company.

Andres pays a surprise visit to Alina. She's not interested in whatever it is he wants. He ask her to hear him out. It's just a little business affair. He can arrange for her to get everything she wants and he can have the same. What does he mean by that, she asks. Don't be stupid, he replies. Raquel and Santiago.

Papa a Toda Madre #26 2.20.18: Beware of Dressing Rooms with Cloth Partitions...

Or "You Want to Talk About This in Public?"

Tono and Mauricio quickly cover up Carola’s body as the children approach and ask them what they are doing. Tono explains that he is helping Mauricio plant his plant but the children ask him why, as he doesn’t like him, and Tono explains that neighbors must get along. Mauricio goes along with his story, though he gives Tono a death glare, and Tono asks the children to go play elsewhere. Fidel states that he misses Carola but Rafael goes to him and assures him he will find a new dog for them as Carola is with new owners. Tono then asks the kids if they want to go watch a movie and they leave, as does Rafael, as Anifer comes and brings Mauricio his gloves. She then tries to help but Mauricio asks her to direct his actions, only, and he can get his hands dirty. He sends her to stand at least 10 ft away and continues to dig around Carola’s body to plant Anifer’s plant.

As Neron and Pablo walk around town and look for a job, Pablo wonders how much longer it will take. Neron tells him they have to be careful, as he is undocumented, and they shouldn’t settle. Pablo offers to clean around the cul-de-sac, as a handyman of sorts, but Neron doesn’t know if they can pay him. Just then, Rodrigo arrives and reveals that he heard Pablo talk so he asks Pablo his age and where he comes from. Neron visibly tenses as does Pablo.

Caer en Tentación #95, 2/19/18, Lunes:The Dominoes are in Place


Chapter 95: The Domines are in Place

Santiago tried to convince Raquel that this was a misunderstanding and that nothing happened with him and Alina. She refused to believe him, would not listen to him, and calmly told him to leave. More than once; also saying more than once that she never wanted to see him again.
Mia leaned over Damían as he told her he had killed Carolina as he tried to recall what happened when getting out of the car. She told him to calm down, telling him that Carolina was dead and no longer existed. The tone of her voice seemed to creep him out. He stared into her eyes and seemed to go into another respiratory crisis. Mia called the nurse over, saying that he was imagining things and getting upset. The nurse put her fingers on his carotid artery. Mia fled the room and went into the hall. Raquel came up and saw that something was wrong. Mia said that her father suddenly became nervous and when Raquel asked why she tried to leave. Raquel pulled her back, asking what happened and whether Damían said anything.
He talked about Carolina,” Mia whined, starting to cry. Raquel fell into that trap and embraced her daughter as though she were a child again.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 25, 2/19/2018: Let Sleeping (and Dead) Dogs Lie? I Don’t Think So!



Mau goes to see Loopy. He didn’t go there to talk or argue; he just wants to know exactly how much money Renée owes him because Mau will pay it. Loopy responds that is something between him and Renée. Mau states that is why he wants to pay; he just wants Loopy to stop bothering Renée. When Mau again asks for the amount. Loopy smirks and comments that Renée is now selling herself so easily. Mau stops him and tells Loopy what Loopy had just said, “It’s something between her and me.” Loopy continues to criticize Renée since she pretends to be such a feminist and so independent yet she is letting “Juniorcito” pay her bills. When he tells Mau that Renée is just a gold digger, Mau tells him to shut his mouth and stop saying stupidities and to just tell him that measly amount Renée owes him. (Listen up Dogbreath, this may be your best shot at actually gettin’ your paws on that money)

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 24, Friday February 16, 2018: Anifer will not accept Kika or "I am your father!"


We open with Kika on her pink phone (looks like a toy) telling whoever she is talking to that she hopes that (I assume Mauricio) will suffer and end up in the dog poo. Flashback to the past, when Mauricio was in high school. He helps a young Kika with the books she dropped on the stairwell. They become friends. Later he confronts her about some of his friends telling him that she is in love with him. She says that they are just friends and do a fist bump and declare their forever friendship. But Maur asks her, “But is it really true that you are in love with me?” Back to the present, Kika continues talking on that phone and says, “I will not forgive or forget” and hangs up then leaves.

At the baptism party Toño asks Jorge what happened on his trip because he looks like someone died. (Well yeah…) Even Renée chimes in and says he looks a lot more serious than he usually does. Jorge says it’s just a lot of work, but otherwise, everything is fine.

Caer en Tentacion #92/93, 2/15/18: The truth is out

Recap is done!

The truth comes out. Federico has followed Damian and has seen him with Carolina, he walks up to Damian's car and demands that he get out of the car and answer his questions.

Demian: Federico, please calm down"
Federico:" Don't ask me to calm down! You're cheating on mom!"
Damian:"what did you see?"
Federico:"I saw everything! Don't treat me like I'm stupid! I followed you here, I've been following you all along. I saw your attitude change, I saw how nervous you got when your phone rang, and it was because of Carolina, right? Have the decency to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth!"
Damian: " Yes, I have a relationship with Carolina."

Federico reproaches Damian for never looking at his mom the same way he looks at Carolina, and for cheating on her with his best friends mother, the wife of his business partner and his mother's best friend. He wants an explanation, all Damian can say is that he fell in love and could not help it, he is human and makes mistakes, just like anyone else. Federico wants to know if Damian plans on telling Raquel the truth but of course the answer to that is no, because Damian is a coward. Federico goes to answer Raquel's phone calls and Damian looks like he is going to pee his pants.

Papa a Toda Madre #23 2.15.18: If Two Snakes Kiss, Do They Poison Each Other?

Or Fabian Shows Us What He is (Truly) Made of

Mauricio tells Renee that he knows she doesn’t like Kika. In fact, he could say she’s jealous. He runs out as Renee huffs and looks at Anifer, who shrugs.

At home, Veronica asks Tono to please clean the house a little for their guests. Tono nods but wonders who is going to cook. He suggests they order take out and Veronica finally agrees as Tono doesn’t know how to cook well. Veronica then asks him to please behave, so her boss sees how close their family is, but the dinner doesn’t guarantee that he will be hired. Tono understands and offers to tell his best jokes to see if her boss lightens up. Veronica laughs and nods.

The next day, Mauricio tells Fabian that Kika is beautiful, sexy, and even gets along with Anifer. Fabian asks if he trusts her, and all she says, and Mauricio is sure she is the persons she says she is. Fabian is still unsure, as it seems Mauricio likes Kika for other things, and not business, but Mauricio takes the hint and assures Fabian that he will separate business from pleasure.

At the hospital, Baldo demands to know why Jorge is still there when the doctor comes and announces that Yuriria has woken from the coma and wants to talk to her children. Jorge hopes this shows them the power of prayer but Baldo scruffs and walks away with Lili.

Caer en Tentacion #90/91, 2/14/18: Love and Death; Only Death is Real

This is Anita filling in with some bullet points.
Part 1/3
En El Presente
. Santi and Raq talk on the phone. Catch up with the latest news.
. Next morning Fede tells Raq he and Mia will support her with anything she decides regarding Benji.
. Raq admits to being scared OF and FOR Mia.
. Santi rather reluctantly shares with Lola & Nico the information Ant passed on regarding Attack Guy and Garrido being involved in the accident. One of them confessed to helping provoke the accident and robbery was the motive. No news on Caro's killer, though.
. Ant and Nando strategize. Ant says it's so logical that it happened the way AG says it did, but something doesn't add up. When the two approached the crashed vehicle, they didn't have time to look for the money before they heard sirens heading their way. Ant muses, but then how did Dam's fingerprints get on the gun that killed Caro and why was it Santi's pappi's gun? AG claims only Dam was on the ground. (Flashback to the two guys doing their thing.)

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 2/14/18 Capítulo 22: The Legendary Bad Penny Always Turns Up

Officials from the city visit Nerón and close his business down. Nerón first begs them not to but is told that he can either comply or end up in jail. He is then incensed. He knows that they want a bribe but he isn't going to give them one. He is an honorable man. There is no reason for them to close down his tire business. They tell him that he better take his complaint to the Public Ministry as they put up huge “closed” signs sealing the doorways of his business. Pablo tries to calm Nerón down and asks if he wants him to go with him to contest the action. Nerón says sure but only up to the door so they don’t get wind of him being here illegally and send him back to Guatemala.

Back at the school, Renée asks the priest to clarify what a normal and traditional family is. No problem there: it is one that is created by the Church in holy matrimony consisting of a father, a mother and children. She then asks what he thinks about single mothers and the kind of family she had with her mother and herself. Would he not consider that a family? The priest and the nun answer in unison and the answer is “NO”. The nun makes it clear that there is only one kind of family and Father Cutberto described it. Renée finds it unbelievable that they would expel a little girl for just asking questions that are age appropriate. She does not live in a bubble and realizes that there is so much more out there beyond what they are telling her. Mauricio agrees and adds that his daughter is quick and witty. She got her intelligence from him, of course. Renée tells the priest that it is they rather that don’t “fit” the needs of Anifer. The school is way too limiting for her. Mauricio likes that. The priest comes back with maybe it is not limiting enough since the child seems to have inherited her rebelliousness from her mother. The nun seconds that. Mauricio grabs Renée and pulls her close to him saying that Renée is defending their daughter like the mother that she is. She is completely right. This school is not at Anifer’s level. They won’t be expelling Anifer because he and Renée are leaving and taking Anifer with them.

Caer en Tentacion #88/89, 2/13/18: Death and Denial::Let Downs, Take Downs, & Shake Downs

88: Death Succumbs Her 

A Chinese firedrill ensues at the worksite where Santiago has fallent about 15 feet off the ladder.  The ambulance comes and loads him up and Carolina meets the kids at the hospital.  He's going to need surgery and a nail put into a fractured leg.

Excited discussions at Legato that Federico overheard makes him surmise correctly that Papi has something on the side he's been trying to hide.  He and Damian go to lunch together.  He walks all around the topic to get a response from Daddy Dam; Dam accuses Fede of accusing him of something untoward. 


At the hospital, Carol and Lola confront the head of accounting/insurance agency? about their lack of insurance suddenly now due to a couple of unmade payments.  Caro had no idea and the two females harangue the guy unmercifully.  Caro angrily states she cannot believe that after paying gawd knows how much money to them all these years when they finally need it now they refuse to cover this accident over two missed payments!!  (Yup.  You go, girl!)  When she puts it that way (it sounds like the worst abuse in the world of legalistic bureaucratic power (which I agree, strict Girl Scout that I am, it is) the bureaucrat seems to back down and states that all they have to do is come up with the missed payments and the crisis is over.

    Caer en Tentación #86/87, 2/12/18, Lunes: Unnatural Killers / A Visit From the Reaper



    Chapter 86: Unnatural Killers

    Raquel and Damián continued their heated conversation regarding Andres' remarks about Carolina. Raquel seemed ready to accept Andres' assertions that Carolina would do anything for money but Damián knew his cousin much better than that. Raquel said she was looking into things to prove her own suspicions, that Carolina was hiding something, as this would ultimately hurt Santiago. Damián tried to avoid further conversation on this, claiming to be very tired. As he started to leave the room he wanted to know why that was such a big deal to Raquel. She reminded Damián that Santiago was his friend and business partner. He asked what proof she had and she said “You know Andres; there was no proof.” Damián did an about face, deciding he needed to speak to Andres right away. As he left the room Raquel called Santiago's cell phone, which was in the bedroom on the nightstand near Carolina.

    At Logatoys, Gladys tells Mau that Kika Braun is looking for him and she is there at the office, so Mau spruces up with a hair smoothing and mouth spray…which Fabian uses also. As they try to calm down, Mau tells Gladys to have Kika wait a moment.

    At La Chapianeca Restaurant, Juan Perez meets with Falcón and asks how he can be of service. After Falcón shows him his phone and tells him they must wait for orders, Perez agrees to wait, but wants to know who Falcón is and what it is he really wants. Falcón, however, replies that the less they know about each other, the better because, after all, his (Perez) name isn’t Juan Perez either. Perez backs down and agrees to wait for orders from higher up without any more questions. (OMG is it a Fisher Price takeover?)

    We left off yesterday with Mauricio meeting Kika Braun at the toy expo, who seems to recognize him, but he doesn’t seem to know her. But she being very beautiful and sexy, of course wants to know her and can’t believe he cannot remember her. [Don’t fall for this Mauricio, it looks like a trap!] She introduces herself and says that she thought he might have recognized her from being online. “My name is Chiquinquirá Braun, but everyone calls me Kika. See this magazine? I found you in this magazine.” Mauricio says, “It sounds like destiny to me, since this is such a coincidence.” The magazine refers to Mauricio as #11 most sought after bachelor. Maur says, “Well I know I didn’t make the top 10, but at least I’m still in the ranking, right?”

    Kika looks over at Mauricio’s display at the expo, and says, “Are those yours? Well I guess I’ll make the rounds here, but I’ll be right back.” Mauricio promises not to move
