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.

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.

Alt
Titles: A Redeemed Flower and a Happy Plant
Papi Number 11, Kika’s Got Your Number!
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?)

Papa a Toda Madre; Capiítulo 19, Friday, February 9, 2018; The Neighbors meet Rodrigo and Rafael, Renée’s new Tenants
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

Caer en Tentacion #82/83, 2/8/18: The Party of Doom - The Aftermath
El Presente is a continuation of Ayer
Santiago is getting an earful from Lisa over the phone. She only *thinks* Vic could have killed Caro, well, because he's acting so strange. She tells him Vic keeps talking to Caro as if she were there. Lisa heard him say it wasn't his fault, to leave him in peace. She's scared. If he didn't kill her, why is he so tormented. Santi tells her he's on his way. They won't call the police until after he gets there, otherwise they'll get him a lawyer and he'll lawyer-up. Vic comes into the room and wants to know if she was talking to the police. She says she was talking to Santi. He gets violent and starts shaking her and yelling at her. Then he "sees" Carolina. He races out of the house to catch up with "her."
Cintia and Nando are sitting together in Raquel's living room. They have some quiet moments as Nando says he needs to see her; he likes being with her; he likes talking to her; being with her is good for him; she makes him feel good. This leads to a gentle kiss.

Caer en Tentacion #80/81, 2/7/18: The Party of Doom (#77 according to Uni)
Take aways from this episode:
(1) I don't think Vicente killed Carolina, I believe he was involved in some way with the accident that happened but I do think that he loved his sister and although he was blackmailing her he would never have killed her.
(2) Mia is way up on my list, I truly believe that she is mentally unstable. She makes up lies, she's obsessive and she manipulates people in order to get her way, but what puts her high on my list is that she seems to believe that once Damian wakes up they will be a perfect family. I'm wondering to what she would have done if she found out that Damian was with Carolina- would she kill to keep her "perfect family" together? I'm gonna say yes.
(3) Carolina is a salty b*tch
(4) Raquel has really nice arms.
(5) Nicolas has really cute bed sheets.

Finally, Valentina gets up and goes to see the desk clerk and asks to call the room of Sra. Goyeneche. The desk clerk tells her that she has checked out a couple of hours ago with her companion but she did leave a note for Valentina. It says: "Forgive me, daughter. I really thought it over and you are going to be better off with your father. Kisses, Mommy." Valentina puts down the note and calls her dad.
A completely depressed Valentina is driving home with Jorge. Jorge doesn’t need to hear anything from her. The important thing is that she reconsidered and that they are going home. Jorge tells her that the next time she doesn’t understand something to just remember that whatever he does, he does for her and her brother’s own good.

Chapter
76: Lies and Assignations
Carolina
lied to Santiago, telling him that she had been speaking to Lisa, who
sent kisses and wishes to Benjamín on his happy occasion. Santiago
was feeling amorous enough to get close and begin a kissing session
with her despite the party going on in the living room. He had just
kissed her when Florencia walked in to check on whether she needed
any help. Carolina told her she didn't and told her to go back out
and enjoy herself. Just as Santiago left with the beers meant
Carolina's cell rang. She looked down and lied.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 15, 2/5/2018: Mau Gets a Clue, But Is Still CLUELESS!
Alt Title: Give the Dog a Bone and He’ll Want the Whole Chick-en
Previously: At Logatoys, Mau, Fabian and Anifer arrive
with the toys and are greeted by Falcón who has with him the new council.
Falcón explains that after their last meeting, it was obvious to him that Mau
has been maturing. When Falcon reminds Mau that Mau decided that Falcón would
not be involved in any decisions related to creations, Mau assumes that Falcón
formed a council behind his back. Falcón denies going behind Mau’s back and
justifies that he just wanted to equalize the decision-making authority by
bringing in a council made up of very talented people. After Mau retorts that
Falcón can’t do such things without consulting him, Falcón tells him that will
change because from now on, every decision Mau makes will be evaluated by the
council…and Mau will be able to decide NOTHING of his own accord (for the
benefit of Logatoys, or humanity in general?).
At Renée’s house, Loopy calls and says, “Is everything
ok? You sound very discouraged, baby.” Renée responds that she just got home
from a meeting with Adriana, her advisor, who told her that the people from
Maryland came up with something else that she was not expecting. (Loopy hears: Move
quick, it is easier to catch a wounded rabbit.)

Present
Damian opens his eyes and the nurse calls doctor telling him that
Damian has had a reaction. The doctor checks him out, and says he will need to
run some tests because it could just be an automatic reaction which means
nothing.Raquel and Santi are in bed they are declaring their love for each other. Santi says ”I want to go far away with you, Benjamin, with the children, why not? Far away from all of the bad things, the bad people. I want to get lost in your eyes, in your heart, in your world, to be with you always. I need you." She leans over to kiss him.
Jovita picks up a call from the hospital telling her that Damian “woke up” she says “are you sure, yes I will tell them. Mia your dad woke up”

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 14, Friday, February 2, 2018; Renée passes herself off as Anifer’s mother (as a favor)
We open with Anifer telling Mauricio that he is
exploiting child labor laws. Mauricio wants to know where she learned that one
from. Well of course she learned it from her mother and by the way, didn’t he
promise to get in touch with her mother so that she can talk to her? Mauricio
tries to distract her by offering her a popsicle, but she says, “I want to talk
to my mother! And I don’t want it to be tomorrow, I want it to be now!”
Mauricio tries to explain to her that her mother is in a
remote location where there isn’t any wi-fi. “That’s the reason she cannot
communicate with us, and neither us with her.” “Well” says Anifer, “If you aren’t
going to be able to call my mother, then I’m not going to help you anymore with
my drawings.” Maur says, “You’re my flesh and blood, you should not be putting
conditions on me. Who do you think you are?”

Caer en Tentacion #74, 2/1/18: The proof is in the fingerprints!
Oh my gaaaaaawd. What a fun episode! Federico finds his backbone and almost kills his grandma, we have the finger print results, we know why Laura is gimpy, and Godoy gets shot! Sooo much stuff!
I'm going to take this in chunks, because I think just about everything that happened in this episode is important in moving the story forward. This will not be in order but I hope to cover everything.
Part 1:
I'll start in the past with the Alvarado's. Santiago is upset to learn that Carolina is giving Vicente money, he demands to know why she is always helping him and she tells him that she owes him, then she does one of the worst things she's done to date: she tells Santiago she has been giving Vicente money because he saved her from being raped as a child. I don't know about you guys, but I felt like hitting her, to use such a horrible thing from her past to help hide her affair is just sick.
Florencia, Benjamin's nanny tells her cousin Agustin about the fight she witnessed between Vicente and Carolina and of his accusations against Carolina. Agustin tells her to keep her mouth shut and perhaps find another job, but she refuses, Benjamin needs her (also, she wants to get into Santiago's pants).

Caer en Tentacion #73, 1/31/18: To Pull the Plug or Not...Is There an Alternative?
El Presente
Miriam is not allowed to pull the plug on Damian. Since the doc won't go behind Raq's back, Mim is going to find another way (she tells the doc imperiously). Her other way, as Raq finds out later, is to stop paying for his hospital care. Raquel is in a bind because her insurance has run out.
Santi learns Juan is the real father of Lola's baby. He's furious. How could she do this? She says this was done "to" her.
Mia, Raquel and Fede have a family discussion on Dam's fate. Mia is against disconnecting her dad from life support. It would be like killing him. There's a chance he might wake up. Raq gives her the facts on his prognosis. Fede, hesitantly, would agree to disconnect him. The person in that hospital bed is no longer their father. Mia is not convinced. This convo goes on too long. Cintia is the silent audience. Raquel says she sees both sides, but before she can say anything more Mia charges in shouting that Raq wants her dad disconnected so she can be left with Santiago. That earns her a well-placed slap. Mia stares at her mother, speechless and heads off to her room.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday January 31, 2018 Capítulo 12: Kidnapping, Conspiracy, and Blackmail: Oh, My!
At Jorge’s house, he is asking his daughter Valentina why she has not been going to her religious studies class. Father Cutberto told him that she has not been attending. What has she been up to? She says maybe Father Cutberto doesn’t see very well . . . Jorge wants her to look him in the eye and tell him the truth. She insists she has been going. If he doesn’t believe her he should go talk to her teacher. She cannot believe he has such little trust in her. He ends up apologizing. She is talking about getting ready for the concert and the fact that Toño and Samuel are going to Jorge’s godparent’s 50th anniversary party.
At Mauricio's house, Mauricio has taken on a much more conciliatory tone and is trying to convince a reluctant Anifer that living with her great aunt the nun will be a thousand times better for her. He follows her into their house. Mauricio explains that he is simply not ready to be a father. She insists that she has to live with him because he is her father. She likes him. He wants to know where it says that. He is too young to be a father. She doesn’t think he is so young. Well, he says he is more like an old kid. Maybe some time he will be ready to be a father. Anifer wants to know if she goes with the nun, will he ever come and see her. Of course he will . . . when he can. . . maybe not everyday but he will come to see her. Her next concern is if her mother comes looking for her, will he tell her where she is. Mauricio says of course he will. He asks nicely if she will go with her great aunt.

Caer en Tentación #72, 1/29/18, Lunes: Catch and Release
Chapter
72: Catch and Release
Carolina's
cell rang. She shut if off, telling Raquel she was doing so so they
could talk.
“I
am turning off the phone so we can talk.”
“We
can talk. I like clarity. I understand your reaction to what
happened with Benjamín because I'm a mother. I don't accept your
reaction but I understand it.” She paused a moment. “Why did
you hurt me? Why did you hurt me so much?” She started to cry.
“You accused me in front of my husband of being unbalanced and
unable to take care of a baby. You know full well or suspected that
this would prevent Santiago and my husband from allowing me to take
care of a baby.” Carolina looked as though she was going to answer
this but not in a positive way. “I only want you to know that I am
not sick.” Carolina started, but Raquel interrupted. “No, no,
no, I'm sorry but I'm not out of my mind or unable to care for a
baby. It was an accident. You exposed me in front of my husband and
hurt me. You are not my friend.”

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 11, 1/29/2018: A World Full of Crooks, Grown Men with Toy Guns…and Nun-Sense Trouble for the Cherubim
At Renée’s home, Renée chides Mau for leaving Anifer alone. Mau wants
her to stop scolding him since it was an emergency…a social emergency. When Mau goes to check on Anifer who is asleep on the couch, he touches her
forehead and feels that she is quite warm. When Renée checks Anifer, she gasps
and tells Mau that Anifer is very hot and has a fever. Mau immediately brushes
off the blame from himself and asks Renée what she gave Anifer for dinner. Renée
can’t believe Mau could be serious since Anifer came knocking at her door in
the middle of the night because he left her alone. Mau takes his big foot out
of his mouth and apologizes to Renée…he doesn’t know what he is saying (uh-huh!
You just had an epiphany?).
When he stutters as he asks what they should do, Renée
tells him to use his common sense (did she see pigs flying?)

Caer en Tentacion #70, 1/25/18: The Investigation Heats Up (Really?) Yes, a Stolen Credit Card
Or, Dam(n) I'm Breaking Up With You Because All You Want From Me is Sex.
Folks, what luck. A CSI episode that goes nowhere fast just dropped in my lap. The recap, however, will go somewhere. Some scenes are combined.
After Antonio tells Santi about the one stolen credit card from Dam's billfold getting used (see prior episode) he quickly goes over the facts they have:
1. A rock hit the windshield. It could have been an accident, but it could also have been deliberate, to make them stop.
2. After the wreck, Dam was hit on the head with a shovel and Caro's body appears elsewhere.
3. They believe Caro was likely shot once at the scene of the accident with Santi's father's gun.
4. One credit card was stolen, although now they aren't sure if anything else was taken.
He promises they are going to follow up. Santi swears he didn't do it. Tonio says the judge will have to let him go--as long as he doesn't do anything else stupid.

That night, Mauricio and Anifer have a dinner of apples and she suggests that they keep looking around the house to find furniture or buy them. Mauricio doesn’t want to, as he needs to save money to move soon, but Anifer argues that she won’t live with him for long as her mother will come back for her. Mauricio tries to tell her the truth but there is a knock on the door and Mauricio asks Anifer to be careful if it’s Neron. It’s Renee, who gives Mauricio back his microwave, which she fixed, though Mauricio is unsure.

Recap time!
- At the jail Santiago sees a woman who is wearing a bracelet that is identical to one that he had gifted to Carolina, he accuses the woman and her husband of having stolen it from his dead wife.

- How did Alina get Nico to sleep with her? By telling him that he owed her for representing her father, she won't take cash, checks or credit cards, just penis. Then she tells him she loves him (lies!)

She sends her regards. Samuel wants to know why she didn’t send him some hugs. She doesn’t love him anymore. Jorge tells him it is not like that. She still loves him. He asks for his tablet so he can send her a message. That is not happening but Jorge says it was a good try. He is being punished unless he puts things right or tells him who put the pornography on the tablet. Samuel is left to stew on his bed.

Caer En Tentacion #68, 1/23/18: Time To Play Hard Ball
- There's a crisis of faith at the jail between Alina and Santiago who is asking her for cash from the kids to plan who knows what through his jail-mate's connections. Alina refuses, guessing something's up. "--Get another lawyer if you really don't think I'm acting in your best interest. Things take time! It won't be long now. It's your right to be let loose without convincing proof of the crime. This judge knows that. Trust me! I will get you out of here." Santi holds off.
- At the same time, Raquel squares off with Miriam in the doorway of Mimi's manse de expanse. "--I'm here for Benji. I am not going to let what you did to Damian happen to Benjamin!" She accuses Mimi of competing with Dam for his love--and not just motherly love. "--If I've kept quiet all this time it was for your son! If you continue with this you'll force me to come out with it." This threat really gets Mimi screamin'. (Mimi has an Achilles heel, after all. Skeletons apparently are just waiting to tumble out of her walk-in.) "--Years of terror! Years of therapy, of not being able to speak about it. You abused him, Miriam! Give Benji back or I will not stop till everyone knows, including your grand kids!"

Mauricio receives a mysterious phone call and is floored by the news he receives.
Wilma calls Renee to the university to inform her that they are reducing the amount of students that are accepted in a US university in her field. Renee asks if she’s safe, as she was already accepted, but Wilma explains that she needs to complete the required forms in time or they may give her spot to a waitlist student. Renee can’t believe the dilemma she’s in: she can’t apply for a student visa without being formally accepted into the university, which she can’t do if she has no money to pay for it. Wilma hopes they find a solution soon but Renee sighs heavily.

Chapter
66: Predators and Prey
Carolina
asked Florencia whether she had disposed of the garbage and she said
she had; Santiago was taking the bins out. Carolina appeared testy.
This was possibly due to Damián's presence but also to Florencia
herself. She may have sensed that the girl found Santiago
attractive. She was about to have another disagreement with Damián
when Raquel had entered. Santiago returned and Carolina pretended
that all was well. Florencia knew that something wasn't right in
this house when the two women talked about the next day. Raquel
volunteered to look after Benjamín again, then left with Damián.
Santiago and Carolina disagreed about Florencia's duties. Although
she didn't say so Carolina felt like Florencia was encroaching on her
territory by cooking for Santiago, who asked her whether she was
jealous. She didn't admit to it, but he didn't really give her an
opportunity. He persuaded her to finally break her post-partum
celibacy.

[Previously: At Logatoys, Mauricio sees a message from Juan Perez, a
man who claims to know María. Fabian reads that Perez is asking to meet in a
town close to where Anifer lives and claims to know where María is.] Mauricio
wants Fabian to go with him because this thing about “blind dates” has always
given him the heebie-jeebies. Fabian doesn’t think they should trust the man
because he could be dangerous, but Mauricio thinks he has no choice…sometimes
one has to trust a stranger’s generous offer; or do whatever it takes to return
a child to its mother. When Mauricio asks if they still have the helicopter,
Fabian confirms that they do; then sighs deeply in frustration as Mauricio
walks away.

Caer en Tentacion #65, 1/19/2018; Florencia is the 5th wheel and will make sand castles fall (or that Plot Gun is driving me crazy)
Present time:
Antonio tells Alina that if there is no physical evidence tying Santi
to the crime, he still is a suspect for being the master mind. Alina asks “what
makes you say that?” Antonio replies “the fact that the gun is his and the
Beckers have evidence that he owed a significant amount of money to Damian.”
Alina looks taken aback.Raquel goes to see Santi. She looks weak, exhausted and tells him to resist because she needs him with her. She says she knows he did not do it. “Do you know who killed Carolina?” says Santi. She replies “I don’t know who killed her, but I do know how much you loved her, so you would not kill her.” “I thought you knew” Raquel says “no I have some ideas maybe, Miriam, Andres and possibly Vicente he is so unstable, but on the other hand Damian’s family always thought you guys were with us because you were interested in our money.” She then says “if I knew something I would tell you” Raquel continues and says “it’s important to know who took out the gun from the drawer” she speculates that maybe Carol, Santi says “what you think she took the gun out to commit suicide or to kill Damian?” {Ok patio, I need to stop here a minute…now when Raquel found the gun in the drawer she actually handled the gun right? So what is this supposition that Carol took the gun…My head is spinning…someone please tell me that Raquel did see the gun after Carol was already dead!!}

Papa a Toda Madre #5 1.19.17: Being a Father is Hard and Some Are Terrible At It
Anifer hears all the hurtful things Mauricio is saying about her and her mother and runs off, with tears in her eyes.
In Orlando, Veronica announces that she would like lobster and all the kids agree. They run off in search of the lobster stand as Veronica holds Tono back and asks him why he has such a long face. Tono asks her not to worry too much but there is the possibility that they will both be out of a job. He then runs off to control the kids as Veronica demands an explanation.
Neron arrives home and begins to pick up all of Milady’s toys as his kids knock on the door outside. They wonder what the probably is and Neron demands they are calm. After a few minutes, he lets them inside and they wonder why he’s being so weird. Ciceron notes that it doesn’t smell too bad, as fumigations usually do, and Socretes thinks the house is surprisingly tidy. Neron tells him not too think too much about it but Socretes wants to go to his room. Neron stops him and sits him down as Flor calls him and he runs to the kitchen. He doesn’t notice Ciceron pick up a pacifier nearby and show it to Socretes.

Caer en Tentacion #64, 1/18/18: Treachery is Afoot Everywhere
Part 1 of 2
En el presente
Godoy and Antonio discuss the current state of the case against Santiago. They're working on comparing the fingerprints. Godoy tells Tonio that actually, there is something more important to add to the case. The Becker's lawyer says he has evidence to use against Santiago. Tonio says that until they get fingerprint results, they have nothing. They should have the results later that afternoon. Godoy is convinced this was not merely a crime of passion. Much more is in play. Godoy is going to go back and interview Vicente. Oh, and by the way, says Tonio, Laura was here asking about him. Be careful, he warns, a woman hurt is dangerous.
Miriam apparently saw Alina there at the police station and asks Rueda why she's there. He tells her she has information for him on Santi's case and will be presenting it to the judge. He does warn her that the fingerprints might not match, but not to worry, he has another card to play. It seems Santi borrowed a lot of money from Damian but never paid it back. Dam wrote him a very large check. Miriam is pissed that Dam never mentioned it. They agree that this is enough to put Santi behind bars until he rots away. Rueda says they can't use it right now, but later it could be used as a motive for the attempt on Damian. [ed. note: If this were the case, wouldn't Santi have made sure Dam was dead and not just knocked out?] Rueda proudly puts forth his theory--eliminate Damian; eliminate the debt.

Papa a Toda Madre #4 1.18.18: Business Lessons from a Professional Playboy
The funeral director tells Renee that Lupe paid all the outstanding bills. Renee is shocked.
Outside Logatoys, Neron and Renee discuss what Lupe did. Neron doesn’t know what she should do but Renee is going to pay Lupe back because he shouldn’t be doing those things for her anyway. Neron wishes he could give her some money, but he’s barely getting severance pay, though Renee has an idea on where to get the money to pay Lupe and pay for her Masters.
Jorge informs Mauricio and Fabian that, without Mr. Fairbanks as an investor, they will need layoff half the staff to take care of the most pressing debts. Mauricio is against it, as they barely get paid minimum wage, but barely knows if his employees are salaried or hourly, let alone Jorge’s actual name. Fabian asks Jorge to leave them alone and reveals that he has found a last minute investor as there is a knock on the door. Fabian goes to answer and it’s Renee, who comes asking for a loan from Logatoys, much to their chagrin.

Caer en Tentacion #63, 1/17/18: Will the Real Gun Thief Step Forward, Please?
Sorry for the late post, yesterday was crazy. I had a pet emergency, my kitten has a UTI (and a heart murmur!) and we had to rush him to the vet, in addition to that it was my step dads 72nd birthday and by the time the day was over I was DEAD. Below is your recap!
- Santiago is arrested, the bullet fragments belong to a gun owned by his dad, a gun that Santiago insists has never left his house, but it looks like it has and he is headed to the big house.
- Andres takes Raquel home, Cinthia says she will take care of her sister and make sure she gets better. Raquel's doctor thinks it would be a good idea for her to be in a hospital where she can rest and where they can control the environment and make sure nothing upsets her.
- Raquel is put to sleep and later Mia visits with her, Raquel keeps calling for Santiago who she says only wants to take care of her.
- Cinthia tells Fede that they need to stick together in order to help Raquel, Mia, again makes everything about herself and accuses them of excluding her and not thinking about her and her feelings.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 1/17/18 Capítulo 3: Hip! Hip! Dubai!--OR--When the Nice Guy is the Wrong Guy
We start this episode in the funeral parlor where Renée is accepting condolences. There is Nerón her godfather and Flor, Jorge, (whose wife Dulce has not accompanied him), Verónica and Toño. Finally, there is Dr. Lupe who appears with coffee for Renée and tells her (for the first of many times) that he is there for whatever she needs. She is at the casket when the funeral director needs her to sign a few documents for the funeral home. The bill is 50,000 pesos (about $2,663). Renée is surprised by the cost. She talks to Verónica and Nerón about feeling so alone even though she is surrounded by so many people. Verónica reminds her that her mother just passed away today. Renée remarks that this has been the most intense day of her life: a wedding and a death and all that they need is a birth. Flor completes that trifecta by announcing that she feels like she is going into labor. Dr. Lupe takes control of the situation.

Caer en Tentacion #62, 1/16/18: Trapped--Everybody is Trapped
(Scenes not necessarily in order)
Epoca Actual
Raquel tries to get away from the couple that is preventing her from leaving. She is now fully cognizant of who she was with, but not exactly where she is. The "hostage takers" tell her she cannot leave, that her family has been notified and Andres Becker is coming to pick her up. The man persuades her to take her medicine and lie down.
Meanwhile, Santiago has been at the house and after being told the woman he's looking for was there but left, has been sent on a wild goose chase to the local Greyhound station and maybe they can help him. Santi talks to a police or security officer at the bus station.
Rueda reports to Andres that apparently the gun that was used to kill Carolina belonged to Santiago. If it turns out to be true, a judge can put in an order to have him arrested. They think things will work in their favor and against Santi, especially with him alone with Raquel and outside the city. He can be charged with flight.

Papa a Toda Madre #2 1.16.18: One Little Girl to Win the Hearts of Many
Renee smiles at Alejandro and waves goodbye before turning around and high tailing it out of there. Catalina and Alejandro run after her.
The little girl waves at Mauricio and runs to him as Mr. Fairbanks and Miranda wonder what is happening. The little girl hugs him tight, but Mauricio demands security take her away as he doesn’t know her. The girl claims that she doesn’t know him either but he’s her father. Miranda can’t believe Mauricio has a daughter, but Mauricio declares he does not and asks Fabian if it’s a joke. Fabian shakes his head and Miranda demands a clear answer. Mauricio tells her it’s all a misunderstanding and asks the priest to continue with the wedding. Miranda, however, reminds him that the little girl is still clutching his leg. The girl tells Mauricio that her mother wrote a letter with his name, Mauricio Lopez-Garza. Mauricio is shocked to hear he knows his name as is Miranda.
Alejandro runs after Renee and demands she go back in the church and marry him. Renee won’t though because her priority is her career and she doesn’t need a man’s permission to follow her dreams. She runs off as Catalina, and everyone, watches.

Caer En Tentacion #61, 1/15/18: Raquel On The Loose
Jardinera apologizes for the mix-up. She's fallen ill to the current scourge sweeping the nation. Rather that delete her always well crafted recap, we'll just have double the pleasure.
- Cinthia explains to Santiago that Mia's having a fit that her mama's not there; Raquel needs to come home and quick. They may want to escape reality for a while but if Raq finds out that Mia's been sick and upset that she's not there with her there'll be Hell to pay. Santi starts furiously looking for Raquel.
- At the strangers' house in the town, the couple scheme to keep Raq there while the husband calls her rich family members off the phone list of names. Raq remembers she left without word and got lost. Santi will be worried. She looks for her phone and it's gone! No way to contact him now. She struggles to think straight; between her mental problems and the meds she's on it's hard to get two meaningful thoughts strung together. The wife promises her that her hubby is out looking for him and will contact somebody for her.
- Bebo agrees to accompany Lola to her abortion doctor's appointment. He tries first to talk her out of this but she's stubbornly sticking to her guns. No way she wants this pregnancy (let alone Juan's demon seed and a reason for Perv Profession pursuing her the rest of her life). They head off once the babysitter arrives, and Stalker Man is there in his car spying on the two of them going off arm in arm.

Caer en Tentación #61, 1/15/18, Lunes: Obstacles
Chapter
61: Obstacles
Just
the facts tonight due to time constraints and playback issues.
Cinthia
called Santiago about Mia while he looked for Raquel. He did not
tell her that Raquel was missing while she told him little about Mia,
only that she was worried about her and that Mia needed Raquel.
Raquel's
female captor gave her tea and offered her something to eat while
Raquel frantically looked for her cell phone so she could call
Santiago. The phone was not in her purse and was most likely in the
hands of her captors. Raquel wanted to get outside to get some fresh
air but the woman stopped her, telling her it was too dangerous for
her to go out. She tried to tell her that she would take care of her
while her husband was trying to contact her friends.

Papa a Toda Madre #1 1.15.18: Be Careful Who You Marry
Memories are in italics...
On a yacht in the middle of the ocean, playboy and professional party animal, Mauricio Lopez-Garza (Sebastian Rulli), pops open a bottle of champagne with a sword and romances women by giving them a gold necklace with an “M” on it (not for marriage, oh no, he doesn’t do that) but so his conquests always remember his name. This is only his weekends though…
During the weekdays, he holds board meetings at Logatoys to propose new toys. His latest proposal is a replica of the very same yacht he was partying on all weekend. However, Fabian Carvajal (Mark Tacher), the general manager of Logatoys and Mauricio’s best friend, notes the obvious problem (that Mauricio can’t seem to comprehend): the model for said toy would cost the company a lot of money and, therefore, it would cost a lot to mass produce said toy. If this is the case, Logatoys would have to charge consumers a lot of money for it but most of their consumers don’t have said amount of money or a pool to play with the yacht. Mauricio, however, thinks the children could play with the giant yacht in the bathtub and be done with it. He asks the Logatoys lawyer, Jorge Turrubiates (Sergio Mur), to gather all the permits so they can reconvene in a couple of weeks. Jorge asks for a more concrete date, but Mauricio directs any further questions to Fabian. Once alone, Fabian tries to tell Mauricio that things at Logatoys aren’t on the up and up, but Mauricio is sure the upcoming “Child Day” will boast sales and they have nothing to worry about.

Enamorándome de Ramón, 1/15/2018: Gran Fin…Por Fin!
Skipped Scenes in Blue
Previously: Fabi keeps asking Francystco where her daughter is, but as he is about to
tell her where Ana is, Francystco passes out. While Ramón tries to hold Fabi
back, Fabi curses and yells, “Damn you! You can’t die! Tell me where my
daughter is! Tell me! Francystco! Francystco! Where is she?” As Ramón manages
to pull Fabi away from Francystco, Francystco coughs and passes out.
Outside, Juana worries that they are taking too long and
wants to go inside, but Antonio tells her the cops are doing their job. As
Juana insists that they may need her help (yeah, right! if they really do, send
in the parrot!), she sees Fabi and Ramón
walk out and asks them for the baby. After Ramón tells them that Francystco was
not able to tell them anything and that he is dying, Sofía yells from the
patrol car, “Don’t even look for her! By this time, that child should be dead!”
Fabi tries to dart toward Sofía, so Ramón holds her back, but Juana turns into
Calamity Jane as her pigtails twirl furiously and she grabs a pistol from a
cop. After she pulls Sofía out of the patrol car, Calamity Jane yells, “Get
out! Get out! You tell me right now where my granddaughter is, or you die right
here!” Ramón tries to tell Calamity Jane to let Sofía go, but Calamity Jane
won’t be stopped.

Mi marido tiene familia Friday 1/12/18 Gran Final #2 Capitulo 102: Not Quite Happily Ever After . . . To Be Continued
Well, this is my last recap for MMTF and I am going to thank someone I have not ever thanked before: I want to thank Juan Osorio for bringing us such a heartwarming story in such an excellent production. It quickly has become one of my all time favorites. I cannot wait until the next season.
Next, I want to thank you, RgvChick, for joining me in recapping this story along with your EdR recapping. It was a pleasure working with you. We made a good team. I hope to work with you again in the future. :)
I cannot forget to thank Alfredo who got us started by posting discussion pages. His initiative made all the difference.
Finally, I want to thank you, the patio, for giving me a reason to write these recaps at all. Whether you simply read or commented once and a while or were a “regular,” your presence was noticed and valued. I always looked forward to reading the comments, opinions and interpretations expressed at our little oasis. I hope to see you on another patio very soon.
Now, back to the very last chapter in the story . . . I cannot wait to read your comments on this one . . .
After hearing the oompah-pah of the tuba one last time . . .
Julieta shows Luz a page of real estate listings. It is time to move. She feels that she and Robert need to make a life of their own. She would never do anything to stop the kids from seeing their family. Luz agrees that it is healthy to maintain a certain distance from the family. Julieta wants to be able to raise her own children without having the family giving their opinion about everything. Julieta is going to continue seeing properties. If Robert does not want to look for a house, Julieta will give him his part of the money and she will use her part of the money as a down payment. Julieta’s phone rings and it is Catalina. Catalina is upset because ungrateful Hugo and Diana are moving out and abandoning her. Julieta tells her that they have the right to have their own home. Catalina is worried about having no company.

Next, I want to thank you, RgvChick, for joining me in recapping this story along with your EdR recapping. It was a pleasure working with you. We made a good team. I hope to work with you again in the future. :)
I cannot forget to thank Alfredo who got us started by posting discussion pages. His initiative made all the difference.
Finally, I want to thank you, the patio, for giving me a reason to write these recaps at all. Whether you simply read or commented once and a while or were a “regular,” your presence was noticed and valued. I always looked forward to reading the comments, opinions and interpretations expressed at our little oasis. I hope to see you on another patio very soon.
Now, back to the very last chapter in the story . . . I cannot wait to read your comments on this one . . .
After hearing the oompah-pah of the tuba one last time . . .
Julieta shows Luz a page of real estate listings. It is time to move. She feels that she and Robert need to make a life of their own. She would never do anything to stop the kids from seeing their family. Luz agrees that it is healthy to maintain a certain distance from the family. Julieta wants to be able to raise her own children without having the family giving their opinion about everything. Julieta is going to continue seeing properties. If Robert does not want to look for a house, Julieta will give him his part of the money and she will use her part of the money as a down payment. Julieta’s phone rings and it is Catalina. Catalina is upset because ungrateful Hugo and Diana are moving out and abandoning her. Julieta tells her that they have the right to have their own home. Catalina is worried about having no company. She feels worse than when Julieta’s father walked out on her. Julieta tells her she will overcome this and that she is going to grow a lot from this experience.

Enamorándome de Ramon, Friday January 12, 2018; Grand Final, part 1; Taken: The Search for Ana
We
begin where we left off last night: “Fabiola
keeps playing with her baby as Francisco looks on but doesn’t move. Just then,
a woman arrives and asks Fabiola is she knows where a church is. Fabiola walks
away for a moment to show the women where it is and then bids her a good day.
When she turns back around, she finds that Ana is gone and begins to scream for
help… “
The
lady asking for directions just walks off [I am wondering why Fabi didn’t go running after her to find
out something and gotten her description to give to police.] Juana
comes back and says she couldn’t have been gone for more than five minutes. A
few helpful bystanders say they are calling the police.

Caer en Tentacion #59, 1/11/18: Who is the Sicker One?
Some scenes have been combined to provide continuity.
Nacho thinks he knows who the ideal murder suspect is. Santi tells him to spill it, now. Ok, it's Miriam. Think about it. She's someone who knows every move they make, someone who is a master manipulator, who despises everyone around her, so why not Miriam. She could have planned it, she could have been responsible.
Santi can't believe she would ever want to harm her own son. He begins to recall how Dam gave them everything they asked for (and more). He concludes Dam did it just to distract him from figuring out what he and Caro were doing. Nacho still recommends taking their new suspicion to Antonio. After all, they put him in jail with no verifiable evidence, only circumstantial. Now Tonio should be willing to investigate Miriam.

Mi Marido Tiene Familia #101, 1/11/2018: Grand Finale-Part 1 Bloodlines and Family Ties.
This is my final recap for this superb telenovela that I almost
didn’t watch. I’m so glad I watched the first episode to give it a try…and every
episode thereafter was a joy to view. Every aspect of this TN was exquisitely
written and portrayed by actors who were outstanding in bringing it to life.
I want to thank Alfredo for starting us up with the discussion
pages which eventually turned into full recaps…started by Jarifa, my masterful
co-recapper. Thank you Jarifa for paving the way to the recaps!
Last, but definitely not least, I want to thank all the loyal
commentators and followers/lurkers in this patio who made this so much more
enjoyable and rewarding with your kind words, insightful comments and creative
perspectives. It was an amazing experience; and I especially loved how great
the story and patio turned out to be. Hope to see you all in the next patio!
Julieta is in her bedroom
when she gets a severe cramp and her water breaks. She slowly walks toward the
phone but the cramps get more severe. She slips down to the floor and looks at
the phone which is a few feet away but can’t reach it. As she calls out Robert’s
name and yells out in pain, Dave comes rushing in wondering what is happening
to her, so she tells him to go get his Grandma Blanca. He rushes off as Julieta
clamors in pain and breathes deeply. Robert arrives and hears Julieta so he
rushes to her. When she tells him her water broke, Robert slowly lifts her to
the bed as she screams in pain and tells Dave who is watching to go let his
grandparents know and to stay at his grandparent’s home. Dave leaves as Robert
tries to calm Julieta and tells her everything will be fine. Robert starts
panicking so he asks Julieta what he should do. As Julieta yells, she manages
to tell Robert to get her clothes which he quickly does. They continue to tell
each other to calm down.

Enamorandome de Ramon #115 1.11.18: Two Big Coincidences & One Evil Plan
Hello all! Well, here we are, the end of another story. Not the best story but one of the best patios I've had the pleasure of being a part of. It's true what they say, "the worse the novela, the funner the patio," and this has never been more evident than during this subpar story.
Regardless of it's shortcomings, it was fun to recap and discuss the actions (we thought about them more than the writers did) with all of you.
To the recap team of RGVChick, Sandie and Cynthia: thank you for taking this journey with me. I know there were some slow and hard times but we powered through it. I couldn't have asked for a funnier or more dependable group to share recapping duties with. Thank you!
As for our loyal commentors: Kirby, Diana, Susanlynn, JudyB, Lucio, Nina, Carvivlie, Steve, and many others. I thank you for sticking with us through the hard and fun times. It's been a pleasure.
See you at the next one! :)
_________________________________________________________________________________
Sofia declares that she will win back Ramon’s love because he will be hers or else.
The next day, Ramon takes Fabiola to their new home and Fabiola is over the moon. She wonders when Ramon did all this and gives him a big kiss. As Juana hands Andrea and Jorge the baby so they can see her up close, Antonio and Margarita congratulate the couple on their new home and baby. Ramon then goes to show Fabiola the nursery, and Fabiola loves it, but she wonders what they will call the baby. They joke to about naming her Ramona or Fabiola but ultimately decide on a name they both liked: Ana. They smile and hug each other.

Caer En Tentacion #57, 1/9/18: Hard Truths
⦁ Lola tearfully admits to Raquel that she's preggars with Juan's baby; that he was a big mistake, has aggression problems and has beaten and abused her throughout; that it was just a physical attraction and he's the only guy she's ever been with so yeah, she knows it's his demon seed. He showed up at her mom's funeral; he was supposed to get help and promised that he'd changed but he hadn't. They'd done the deed this last time and she'd foolishly not taken any kind of protection. Now there's a burnt bun in the oven that she wants shed of. AND. no, Papi can't ever know!!
⦁ Santiago is at Alina's law office laying the law down to her for abusing a minor. She tries to divert, but Santi's no fool. He sees through her kind of beauty and as much as tells her so. She's a grown, accomplished and beautiful women who could have it all. What's her game, anyway? "--But what if I told you there was a mutual attraction?" Fageddabowdit, says Santi. Nobody messes with his son and hurts him. Got it? She offers to introduce him to another lawyer. He refuses, saying she's a great attorney and he/they need her help with Benji's custody. So, it's her decision to do it or not. (Viewerville figures, she's going to keep her clothes on from now on where Nicolas is concerned, if she doesn't want professional problems, let alone to be thrown in the clink herself.)

Enamorandome De Ramon #113, 1/9/2018: All future doors are now closed for Julio and Ozzie, as Jorge looks into his past
Patio if all goes as planned, this is my last Recap for this TN. I want to thank all that took the time to read and comment on all of our recaps, it is a labor of love. I did enjoy it as much as it was possible to enjoy, there were some pretty dumb episodes, but then there were some very heartwarming ones and overall it did what it set out to do which was to keep us entertained. I for one can say I've had a blast recapping and commenting on this TN and will miss this group of followers. On to the next one I say, although I don't know which one it will be for me. In the meantime you can find me on the CAER patio.
