Papá a Toda Madre, Episode 58, 4/9/2018: Dead (Wo)Man Walking…and Talking…and Possibly Stalking… OR Night (Day) of the Living Dead

Alt Title: Chicken Soup for the BUSTED Soul!

At the Carbajal fortress (that can easily be invaded by a tribble), Renée explains to Noel that she grew up in a house that was her mother’s; and when her mother died, she thought it would be hers, but it turned out that the house is not under her name. When Noel tells her he doesn’t understand anything she is saying, he demands to know who the he** her mother is; so Renée blurts out, “Catalina Sanchez!” After Noel stumbles backwards and remains quiet, Renée questions why he remained quiet and if he knew her mother…
                                                                        Could it be?????
(So Renee, realizing this is going sideways fast, wishes she had brought Wookiee with her and makes small talk: So...you ever know Catalina Sanchez?) Noel tells her that she knows where the door is and not to get close. When Renée persists and asks if he knows Don Noel, Noel ( wonders if he should take out his saber but...) responds that if she doesn’t leave, he will call the police; so Renée apologizes and runs out. After she leaves, Noel uncovers his head and looks as if he saw a ghost. (Maybe the Ghost of Bunny Hopping Past? Wait, what the Dickens am I thinking? Or was he thinking, “May the Farce Be with You?”)

Por Amar Sin Ley, 4/6/18 Chapter 24: Carlos gets--out of jail, a photo op and a champagne lunch

Part 1 of 2
The Trial of the Century is Underway---or rather a hearing to determine whether Carlos has to remain in prison or get out on personal recognizance until the real trial. Suffice it to say that thanks to Leo and Rob's snooping around the hotel and finding the hotel emergency stairs near the room lacked security cameras; Carlos' casual demeanor upon leaving; his upcoming nuptials; Patricia not seeming frightened or concerned when room service arrived, and Juan's dogged determination to provide the toxicology report, Carlos is one step closer to temporary freedom. The toxicology report showed that Patricia, having taken sleeping pills which, Leo tells the judge, mixed with alcohol, could have caused her to choke on her own vomit. Sonia, the spiked-heeled public prosecutor indicates, indignantly, that there was no evidence of vomit anywhere, to which Leo chides her for not doing her homework because there was no pathology report. (CSI: Miami is shocked.) Leo feels triumphant.

Or Everyone Breaks a Promise

Tono and Veronica go to Ernesto’s doctor. Tono doesn’t want to give his child medicine and suggests they try other methods. After a moment, he relents and agrees to give his child medicine, despite his reservations. The doctor asks them to trust him and then steps outside to answer a call. Once alone with Tono, Veronica begs him to please put their issues aside and focus on their children. Tono promises to make sure Ernesto takes all his pills and Veronica nods. She promises to be very mindful though and make sure he is doing what he promised.

Later, Tono goes to the pharmacy and gets the prescription filled. The pharmacist gives him a few bottles of pills but Tono thinks they’re too many for a small child. He opens one bottle, takes some pills out, and asks the pharmacists if he has any small, white mints. The pharmacist shows him a pack and Tono smiles as he shakes it.

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 4/4/18 Capítulo 55: Merry(?) Xmas To All--OR--Toño Can't Handle the Truth--OR--Nobody Knows Her Son Like the Mother Who Raised Him

Xmas Eve continues . . .

Nerón is entertaining Roberto this Xmas Eve. Roberto has come with gifts for everybody. Nerón leaves Flor and Robert alone to go get his gifts. They chit chat about about Nerón telling Robert to get a wife and maybe one with a child. Robert quietly expresses concern for Nerón’s health and asks Flor about it since Nerón seems to be talking about it a lot in the last couple of days. Flor looks concerned.

At Toño's parents, Christmas Eve is not too merry. Verónica reminds Toño that the only reason she is there is because of the kids and that the two of them are still separated. He gets sarcastic about what a sacrifice it must be for her to have to deal with all of his relatives. She makes it clear that is not the problem. Her problem is putting on a happy face so she does not ruin the children’s Xmas especially Neto's. They get into an argument about Neto and his medicine for his supposed ADD. Toño cannot understand how a doctor can see him only once and put him on medicine. Verónica explains that the doctor is an expert. It seems to her that Toño doesn’t take anything seriously. Toño argues it is not that. It is only that he has been on the internet . . . She scoffs at that. According to what he has read, the experts say that taking medication is the last option that should be considered. Before going with medication, you have to take a look at what is happening in the child's home, his environment.

As soon as Neron goes to wash his hands, Flor retrieves Neron’s makeshift will from under the table and sees that he is willing all his things to Roberto Robledo. Flor is shocked that Neron really thinks he’s a goner.

In Kika’s suite, Jorge gets dressed quickly as Kika smiles. He stumbles to explain why he’s in such a huff, and just had a quickie with her, but Kika is more than happy to oblige. Jorge nods and explains that he loves “doing it” but doesn’t like “talking about it” because he had a very strict upbringing. Either way, he enjoys his time with her and Kika loves how fiery and passionate he is and how opposites definitely attract. She then sits him down and asks about how Lili and Baldo were born so he tells her how he cheated on Dulce, right before their wedding, and got Yuriria pregnant. Kika nods and asks if he still loves Dulce; Jorge admits that he would regret marrying Dulce if it weren’t for his children, Samuel, and Valentina. Kika then asks if he still loves Yuriria but Jorge doesn’t want to talk about it. Kika insists, since she’s a “cool girl” and Jorge admits that she is the love of his life (but doesn’t reveal that she’s passed cause ‘drama!’) and kisses her goodbye.

Papa a Toda Madre #51 3.29.18: Can You Date Your Ex-Bro's Possible Sister Without It Getting Awkward?

Or Everyone Gets Hit In the Face

Mauricio thinks Fabian is sick because he used a child to further his plans. Fabian thought Mauricio hated kids, so it shouldn’t have been a big deal. Mauricio wants to know if Maria is actually dead or if Fabian made that up to, but Fabian confirms she’s dead and buried. Mauricio doesn’t believe him, as he’s lied to much and went alone with Juan Perez to Maria’s burial, but Fabian confirms the body he claimed was Maria’s and he only did it because Mauricio won’t let sleeping dogs lie. Mauricio can’t believe Fabian would’ve left Maria unclaimed, like a dog, but Fabian retorts that Mauricio didn’t even go to his own father’s burial, so he shouldn’t talk. Mauricio claims that that is another story and thinks Noel would die again if he saw what his son has become.

Renee is looking at the photo she found of all the old Logatoys employees when Rafael walks in and asks if she’s going to keep it. Renee is going to ask Mauricio but she’s sure he will let her keep it as a reminder of the way things were. After a moment, Renee realizes that her mother is looking at someone else, not the camera, and Rafael points at Noel and assumes she’s looking at this man. Renee doesn’t know him, only of him, and remembers when Angel told her that Catalina was very secretive, and he wished she loved him but never did. Renee suddenly gasps and tells Rafael that she knows who her father may be, but she can’t confirm that he is because she has no proof. Rafael offers to help, as the sooner she gets her house, the sooner they can buy it, but Renee is wary as the legal battle for her house may be tougher than she thought. She also reveals that she may have a brother and wonders how she will find out the truth. Rafael thinks her talk with Angel went well, so she could talk to her brother too, but Renee wonders if her search is worth it because she may find out things she never expected or wanted to find out.

Fabián asks Mau if he is feeling well; so Mau responds that it must be because he is excited about starting a new phase in the factory…with him. Mau then asks Fabián if he remembers how long they have been friends, so Fabián laughs and responds “All our lives; ever since we were born!” Mau replies, “Exactly. In fact, until Anifer showed up, I considered you my only living family.” When Fabián wonders why Mau is so nostalgic and asking so many questions, Mau responds that he doesn’t know; he has just realized that he trusts Fabián with so many favors…sometimes he thinks he takes advantage of him…like asking him to take care of Maria’s burial.  (A tiny little tinker bell jingles in Fabián’s serpentine brain.) After Mau thanks him, Fabián assures him that there is no need to thank him…he has always done it with all his heart (as he concentrates really hard to not allow his tail to rattle).
At Veronica’s house, Toño is cleaning the table when Veronica arrives and asks if the kids have gone to bed.

Por Amar Sin Ley or L.A. Law's Twin

Back when we were playing Televisa Remake games (click the label “weekend” below for list) we didn't think of L.A. Law as a possibility. Obviously someone did because this series certainly feels like it. Most of the emsemble-cast characters have counterparts, there is a parade of clients some of whom are symbolic of social issues, and the relationships between the lawyers and their love interests will be the most active element of the series. Let's dive in:

Managing Partners

Alonso Vega and Leland MacKenzie are both mature men who are paternal figures. Both are law professors, virtually live at the firm, and take a personal interest in the lives of their staff.

Or A Snake in the Grass is Revealed

Rodrigo walks into Neron’s shop and demands to know why Pablo hid the fact that he was in Mexico illegally. Pablo looks worried and very contrite and Neron tries to argue that Pablo is a very good man, but Rodrigo laughs at the fact that they tried to trick him earlier, by acting like a mute and then pretending the funny words Pablo used were form another part of Mexico. Either way, he warns them that Jorge is looking into the deportation process for illegals and he assumed it was because of him. Neron begs Rodrigo to reconsider, and not arrest Pablo, but Rodrigo makes it clear that he’s not there to arrest him because he’s a hard-working man, not a criminal. Neron and Pablo thank him and they all shake hands with a smile. Rodrigo leaves them with one final warning: if someone else reports Pablo, there will be nothing he could do for him them.

We pick up with Fabián still in the car with Falcón. The long and the short of it: Fabián tells Falcón he has made one too many mistakes so he needs to disappear. Falcón thinks that his disappearance will just cause more suspicions and people will think he is a fraud. Fabián informs him that he will take care of things from here on out even Mauricio's penchant for investigating. Falcón was right about one thing though: he is an enormous old fraud.

Renée and Mauricio are all lovey dovey at his place. Will she? Won't she? Should she just go home? Maybe? After Mauricio checks on Anifer, they high-tail it to his bedroom.

Papa a Toda Madre #45 3.20.18: An Evil Mastermind, A Passionate Kiss and a (Possible) Bun in the Oven

Or When Plots Twists Aren't Really Plot "Twists"

Tono confesses that Yolanda kissed him on the lips, much to Veronica’s surprise, and Veronica can’t believe she did such a thing. Tono tries to defend himself, saying that the kiss was small and meant nothing, but Veronica is furious. She can’t believe he kissed someone else and talks about honesty. Tono shrugs and reiterates that it’s not his fault, as Yolanda fell in love with him (because he’s so full of charm) but Veronica doesn’t want to see him right now or be touched by him. She demands he leave her alone and Tono runs upstairs, after chiding himself for confessing anything in the first place.

Flor cleans the house and calls Neron to tell him her plans with Renee that night and the fact that Rafael ill take care of Milady. Neron prefers to close the shop and go take care of Milady but Flor asks him not to worry. She does notice that he sounds tired but Neron tells her it’s nothing and asks her to come home early. She promises and hangs up.

  • Alan met with his banker about getting major assets of his firm transferred into what he said were Carlos' personal accounts. He told the man that he was looking out for Carlos' interests.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 3/15/18 Chapter 9: Dreaded Ends and Making New Friends

Carlos explains his strategy of exculpation,aka, acquittal, to his dimmer witted cousin, Alan: if Carolos gets Leonardo, who everyone knows won't defend anyone he deems to be lying, and who comes from his major legal competition, as his criminal defense attorney [penalista] then his personal and professional reputation suddenly becomes golden again--and Leo should win that cases.

Victoria gives her official statement to the equivalent of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office.  She  assures her that many times she told her dead friend, Rocio, to tell the police about her husband's physical and mental abuse.  That's why she filed an anonymous complaint against Dario (Mario?).  She warned to be careful and that he'd end up killing her some day and now.....well Vicki's determined it was that brute--who has suddenly, conveniently gone missing--and she's going to put him behind bars if it's the last thing she ever does!

Papa a Toda Madre #42 3.15.18: Is Anyone Really Who They Say They Are?

Or Who's Playing Who?

Mauricio and Renee run over to pick up Anifer from Veronica but Anifer declares that she no longer loves him and it’s his fault her mother died. Renee tells her that Mauricio is not at fault but Anifer states that they are both liars and she doesn’t want to go home with them because they are lies. She prefers to go to Neron’s house and Neron and Flor agree but Mauricio reminds her that he just wanted to protect her and begs her to come back home. Renee agrees and begs Anifer as well, but Jorge suggests they drag her back home, but Veronica shakes her head. Tono agrees with Jorge but Neron can’t as he would leave these things to Carmelita and now Flor. Jorge suggests Mauricio give Anifer a good whipping, as discipline is necessary, but Veronica disagrees. Tono wonders why all the lies in the first place and Jorge reiterates that they punish Anifer for escaping. Flor shuts everyone up then and tells Anifer that she can stay with them, at least for today, since it’s been a rough day. Neron agrees and Anifer looks at Mauricio, quietly, extremely disappointed in his actions.

In her suite, Kika tells Charytin about the fact that her revenge is finally complete, but she feels that she paid too high a price because she would feel guilty if something happens to Anifer. Charytin suggests she move on and come back to Miami but Kika must find out if Anifer is safe.

Mauricio is sick of the beating and trolling he is taking on the social networks from Kika’s fans who idolize her.

Well, the doctor informs him that it could cause him some problems: urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage. The doctor tells him that after the age of forty all men should have their prostate checked each year. Nerón explains that he has always felt well and he knows all about those prostrate exams . . . The doctor wants to stay on top of the situation. He wants Nerón to notice if he has problems urinating, if he has to urinate a lot at night, or if he sees any small drops of blood in his urine. Nerón asks the doctor if he is about to die. The doctor says no but he does need to check him out in a couple of days. Nerón asks if it is that kind of checkup. The doctor says yes, it is that kind of checkup. Nerón is bothered and depressed at the thought . . .

Yesterday’s episode ended with Kika’s monetary investment in Logatoys. It must have been a very large investment as she says “You are not going to get rid of me that easily.” Mau says to her, “Look Kika, I don’t want to make you angry, but what are you doing here?” Kika says, “I want to invest in your business. Just because we ended our relationship, doesn’t mean we can’t be business partners.” Jorge says that the money is already in the bank, but Mau says he doesn’t want it and says goodbye to Kika. He says he feels like a freed condor flying through the air. Kika says the money is there, it was automatically deposited and now she is a full fledged partner with Logatoys. Falcon wants to extend his hand and say “welcome to Logatoys”, but Mau pushes him back. Jorge wants to know if they are still a couple. Mau says NO and Kika says YES.

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.

[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.

We begin at the end Carolina is shot and Damian screams “No, no!!” he runs to her “Carolina no my love wake up resist my love” He picks her up and carries her “help, please help”. At the station Vicente keeps telling his side of the story. “I finally get out of the ravine and run to Damian” “what did you do to my sister? what did you do?” Damian says “she’s dead” Damian sobs and Vicente goes into a rage filled vicious attack. “I grabbed the shovel and beat Damian on the head” “I was so mad I don’t know how I was strong enough to drag Carol but I took her to bury her because I wanted to protect her” Damian stares at him with despise of the man growing exponentially by the second “because of you Carolina is dead” {no truer statement has ever been made in this TN}. Damian tries to land a punch but due to his current condition can’t get close enough. Vicente is taken to his cage. Antonio turns to Damian and asks “who are you protecting? who was in the third car?”, Damian yells “no one”. He turns to look at Mia but says nothing, he too is taken away.

Caer En Tentacion #102 Part 1, 3/1/18 (El Gran Final): MOUTHS WIDE SHUT


Santiago continues to grill Damian for a confession.  There's a knock at the door.  Dam isn't giving in or giving up.  Raquel lets Godoy into the living room.  Godoy gets testy since Santi won't shut the eff up and let him "do his job."  (Where's her attorney, big guy?)  Godoy needs to know where Raq was the night of the accident.  Dam, sullen and bleary-eyed, suddenly opens up and says Vicente was beating up Carolina. 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.

Papa a Toda Madre #32 3.1.18: Be Careful What You Wish For

Or When Getting Everything You Wanted is Never How You Expected

Mauricio tries to explain to Renee why he is marrying Kika, but Renee doesn’t care anymore. She announces that she is leaving his house, much to Mauricio’s shock.

At home, Samuel tries to smash his fingers on his closet door but can’t bring himself to do it. He asks his online “friends” if they can have him do something else but they tell him to do what they asked or there will be consequences. After a few failed attempts, he decides to do it but is interrupted by Valentina, who calls him down to eat. He sighs and closes his computer before running downstairs.

Veronica and Tono sit at their dining room and go over the grocery list. Tono suggests they go to the supermarket tomorrow but Veronica shakes her head and he tells her that he forgot who wins the big bucks. Veronica apologizes again for finding the truck without asking for his input but Tono decides to let it go. They discuss what groceries they should buy, as the children’s needs and tastes are evolving, as Veronica receives a text from work. She asks Tono for 20 minutes, so she can answer, and he makes her promise it won’t be longer before going upstairs for a jacket.

Caer en Tentacion #101, 2/28/18: Everyone hates Damian

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.
