Papa a Toda Madre #37 2.8.18: The Price is Right...But For Who?

Or Sometimes Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

Mauricio tells Kika that it’s best they break off everything between them because he’s not sure of what he feels and confesses that he feels something but for Renee. Kika can’t believe he’s trying to breakup with her, after all she’s done for him, but Mauricio reminds her that he rejected her investment at Logatoys and she proposed to him and he only accepted out of respect. Kika is shocked at his decision but Mauricio is done talking and tells her he has to go and get Anifer. Kika is left screaming and talking to herself that he can’t trade her for a maid. She then runs after him as everyone in the hospital stares.

Later, Mauricio wheels Anifer inside their home and asks her to be careful lest she break another leg. He then tells Anifer that he has to go into Logatoys and Renee offers to take care of Anifer in the meantime. She then states that she will fine a place nearby when she moves and Anifer wonders when she decided this. Mauricio explains that Renee thought of leaving but things changed and no she’s not leaving and he’s not getting married and isn’t Kiki’s boyfriend either. Anifer is ecstatic, as she hated the way Kika grabbed her cheek, and Renee tells Mauricio she will talk to him later and goes to the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, Renee jumps up and down at all the excellent news.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 3/7/18 Capítulo 36: The Cheese Stands Alone--OR--Mauricio Comes to His Senses

We catch up with Nerón who is having a hard time getting Milady to go to sleep. He says she doesn’t know him anymore. Flor tells him he should just go to sleep himself or he will not have slept in 24 hours. In his sweaty sweats, Nerón is concerned that they haven’t had any sex in a while. She is clearly not in the mood. He keeps on pushing the issue because he says he is always ready. She finally tells him she has an issue with him being all sweaty from the gym and stinky. She tells him to go take a shower. She will make him some food. He ends up sniffing his own armpit and is taken aback by the stench.

At Jorge’s, the family has arrived at home from the Pubic Ministry/Police Station. It is silent until Jorge tells Valentina and Lili to go make something to eat. Samuel is told to go up to his room and to do his homework so as not to fall behind. Jorge sits down at the head of the table. Only Baldo is left. He wants to know if Jorge is going to talk to him. Baldo says he just wanted to get sent back to Tijuana. Since he is getting the cold treatment from Jorge, he decides to go to his room and Jorge can let him know when it is time to eat. Jorge speaks up and tells Baldo if he pulls another stupid stunt like he did today he will be sending him to a military boarding school. Baldo asks him why he doesn’t just send him to juvenile court whenever he feels like it. He goes to his room.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 3/6/18 Chapter 2: I Accuse, or, Irreconcilable Differences



A car full of detectives have come to the church to announce that Carlos is being detained for questioning for the murder of Patricia The Hooker.  The cops won't wait for the ceremony to end or discuss the situation outside the building with the bride's attorney papa.  Alejandra interrogates Carlos immediately as it is evident he knows who she was.  He simply says it's a mistake and he'll clear it up as the cops drag him unceremoniously from the church with the entire group of legal eagles trailing concernedly behind.

Ali decides she's going to the police station to handle things herself, although Mama has asked her to stay.  "--Carlos has plenty of lawyers helping him already!"   (That's an understatement.)

Papa a Toda Madre #35 3.6.18: You Can Call Me "Papa"

Or Mauricio is Finally a "Father"

In Miami, Kika has decided the best way to keep Mauricio at her side (possibly) is with an ultimatum: stay in Miami with her or risk losing her large investment for Logatoys; the choice is his. Mauricio looks shocked.


At Neron’s, Flor is also shocked to see Neron has dyed his hair jet black. Neron smiles wide and Flor looks slightly happy to see this change.



She warns him not to get any on his skin because it won’t come off and Neron nods. He then asks her to make him breakfast because he must go see about a gym membership so that he can get back in tip top shape. Flor can’t hide her slightly amused, but loving smile, as she goes to the kitchen.

Chapter 1: Marriage is Cursed

Ricardo Bustamante stepped off the elevator and entered the offices of Vega and Associates. He was a tall, attractive man in his forties with dark hair and dressed in a dark suit and tie as though he were ready for court, a sensible precaution in his profession. He greeted the office staff and was met by his secretary, a mature woman named Carmen who asked if he wished to go over the agenda. He answered in the affirmative. They began discussing this on the way to his office only to encounter a couple having an argument that ended with the woman throwing a glass of water in the man's face.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 34, 3/5/2018: Mau is Turning Into a Father and It Feels GOOD...But Not to Kika!

Alt Title: Honor Thy Children or Be Dishonored


[Previously: In Miami, Arístides tells Mau that when he arrived from Venezuela many years ago, he had nothing…not even a dollar. He only had his wife who was pregnant with Charitín and Kika who was still very small. At that time, they were his only treasure. Mau understands perfectly well because he is also a father. Arístides argues that Mau knows nothing; he was born in a golden crib…Arístides was not! Everything Arístides has, he earned through his work and much effort…thanks to the strength that his family gave him. It was not easy because he encountered many enemies. When Mau supposes that he is referring to his father, Mau also asks Arístides to explain why he is blaming Bosco for the fraud that sent Arístides to jail, but Arístides remains silent.] (Red Flag #1)

Por Amar Sin Ley – Dramatis Personae Starts Monday 3/5/18 10PM EST



I didn't change anything except grammar errors and pronoun errors that occur in Google Translate. However, I have some doubts regarding descriptions such as that of characters' ages, which I left as given. If this information is accurate we will get a few people being cast against type so this could be very interesting.


RICARDO BUSTAMANTE (David Zepeda)
Attractive lawyer specialized in family law. In his forties, handsome, kind, noble, sincere and hardworking. Partner of the law firm Vega. He is constantly guided by the laws of ethics and love and, in general, seeks to help others instead of thinking about himself. He has an excellent relationship with his ex-wife's children, Elena; and although they are not his blood sons, he raised them from very young, which is why he sees them as his own. Ricardo finds in Alejandra an admirable woman and with whom he shares the same ideals, so that soon the attraction he feels for her becomes love.

Supposedly Dam killed Caro while trying to save her from a savage beating.  (Oops.)Raq is mum and frightened.  She tells Godoy that Dam is not in his right mind, not thinking clearly.  Godoy disagrees.  Raq tells him to keep quiet; he doesn't need to say an incriminating word!!  Dam ignores her and admits to the crime.  Godoy calls it in to Antonio and they all wait for the paddy wagon to take him in.

Part 2 is up, enjoy!

Hi my patio peeps, this is my last recap of what has been an incredible production. The acting and writing has been fantastic but let's be honest, this has been really dark and because it was so well done we can't even really be snarky, I think we are all going to need some tequila at the end of this.

This is the hardest recap I've ever had to do, there's so much going on and I hope to do it justice, if I miss anything or get anything wrong please correct me and feel free to add it in the comments section! I'm to recap the things that happened in the past and work my way to the present, its the only way that I can keep everything together.

Renée interrupts the car conversation saying that they better take Anifer to school because if she gets there late they will not let her in. Kika has a great idea: She and Mauricio can take Anifer. Anifer can sit on her lap. Much to Kika’s disappointment, three in the new car does not work because Anifer cannot sit up front on somebody’s lap or by herself either. Anifer solves the problem.If Mauricio has no seats in the back, the police won’t say anything about her sitting up front. Not too reluctantly, Mauricio joins Anifer in the new car as Renée makes sure she has all that she needs for the day. Kika is not so pleased about being left behind.

Chapter 99: The Domines Start Falling

This is my last recap for this series and it's been a wild ride as well as a great intellectual exercise. I hope that this producer will bring us more exciting stories in future. For my teammates on this series, you're the best.
Note that Vicente's vision of the fatal night is in italics, as it is interspersed with shots of him confessing to Antonio and Fernando.

Vicente entered the river holding a large rock wrapped in a rope whose other end was tied around his waist. It is difficult to imagine that the weight of this rock would cause him to sink and die, but perhaps this was part of his most recent delusions. He walked into the water, not knowing that Fernando Godoy saw him from the riverbank. Fernando shouted his name several times before removing his jacket and jumping in, grabbing him in time and dragging him to the riverbank.

Mau tries to tell her not to refer to Renée by that name, but stops himself because he thinks it would be of no use. When he asks why Renée would do something like that, Kika responds that it’s obvious that Renée is very much in love with him and wants to come between them. Mau doesn’t think it’s true, but Kika assures him it is and adds that Renée doesn’t realize that she shouldn’t be hoping for someone like him…ever! Mau assures Kika that Renée isn’t hoping for a man like him; so Kika sighs and tells him that men never see things clearly while women have a sixth sense about these things. She knows that Renée is in love with him…that’s why Renée hates her. (Good choice out of so many good reasons, Renée)

Papa a Toda Madre, Capítulo 28, Friday February 23, 2018, Jorge has been exposed—or—One big happy family!

We begin where we left off last time on Jarifa’s recap: “Kika and Mauricio are laid out on the pavement somewhere as he proclaims that he does not want to drink anymore. He is done. He has to go. Kika isn’t. She wants to go on drinking but if not she has other ideas . . . They are both slurring their words. They both sit up. She demands that he tell her about Anifer’s mother. Before returning to the comfort of the pavement, Mauricio tells her that María is dead.”

At the apartment where Baldo and Lili live, Jorge is telling Baldo to please take his feet off the table. He has brought them information on possible schools to attend. They are not pleased, they think that the choices are not good schools. Baldo makes a comment that these are similar to the one in Tijuana. Jorge says to look over the choices, but the twins think they deserve better. Jorge tells them that economics are not that good, but in his opinion, the schools themselves are good, so please choose one you think you would like. [Me gets the impression said twins are behaving like spoiled brats.] Lili makes the accusation that his other children get better treatment. Jorge doesn’t want to discuss this, tells them to behave because he has to leave. Baldo makes the comment about going out and Jorge wants to know where he’s going. “What’s the matter, can’t we go out? Do we have to stay inside?” Jorge say, “I just don’t want you doing anything foolish. I will trust you.”

Nerón is all dressed up in a suit this time as he makes a visit to the Public Ministery. He asks what he needs to do to re-open his tire business. Might they just lower the fine a little bit? Sorry but the best that can be done is to give him the option of splitting the fine into two installments: pay the first now and the second within the month. Nerón wonders how he can get so much money together in such a short time.

Toño is sitting in a classroom filled with mothers where a teacher is informing them that she wants their children to bring something that represents them to the festival. It can be a plant, a toy, a photo. It also can be a pet but if it is, the smaller the better. Toño is on his phone and manages to disturb the whole group by laughing at something. He starts to explain that he was just writing his wife about was going on at the meeting. She is the one who usually does these things. That was the wrong thing to say as the teacher makes a point of telling him that they all believe in gender equality here. He quickly adds that he does, too, but they have to admit that they are a little different. As he continues to talk, he just digs himself in deeper. He realizes he is in enemy territory.

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.

    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.

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?)

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?”

    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."

    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.

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. He adds that he does not say it often or enough, because he was never taught to do it, but she and her brother are his children and he loves them. Valentina can only cry. They are the most important things that he has.

    Papa a Toda Madre #16 2.6.18: Can You Smell What the Doc is Cooking?

    Or "How to Lose a Date in Two Hours"or "Endless Voicemails from a Controlling Father"

    Veronica thinks it’s good that Renee is going to live with Lupe so she can get to know him, lest we have another Alejandro situation on our hands. Either way, she warns Renee to not confuse love with companionship and tells her it’s okay to make a mistake because she’s only human.

    Mauricio chides Anifer for calling him “dad” but she wants to pee, desperately. They try to go into the men’s room but it’s being cleaned so Anifer asks him to take her to the woman’s bathroom, as she’s scared that another Enriqueta will kidnap her. Once inside, Anifer goes to pee in a stall and Mauricio decides to pee in another stall. He goes inside one as three women walk in and he comes out once he’s done. The woman are shocked to see he’s there and begin to scream and berate him as Mauricio asks Anifer to come out so these women can see he’s only there for her.

    Caer en Tentación #76/77, 2/5/18 Lunes: Lies and Assignations and Family Feud

    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.)

    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.”
