Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/29/18 Chapter 87: Too Much Kiss-Kiss, Not Enough Bang-Bang


DEPARTAMENTO ELENA:


We open with Elena doing a face-plant on Ric. After a long, audience-discomfiting moment of galanbesoparalysis, he gently pushes her away. She’s still Alien Elena, so she understands. They take turns apologizing to each other. It’s weird and somehow also boring. “Is this about Alejandra? Do you still love her?” “Yes, very much.” She asks for a few minutes alone and cries crystal tears while looking out from the balcony. No venganza-face or anything.

After Ric goes off to play Romper Room with his oversized toddlers, she gets on the phone with Carlos’s tame lawyer and tells him “things have changed.” Hmmm.

OFICINA VICTORIA:

Flush from their matchmaking victory, Rob pops in to ask Victoria out. She is noncommittal until he says it’s to visit his Dad, then she’s all in. Nicolas is a tipazo!  “Well, you can’t do better than me, then – I’m the new, improved version!” He asks her again when she’ll give him an oportunidad, and she says maybe someday. He judges this microthaw to be a significant indication of progress, while the rest of us just slowly age in place.

BUFETE VEGA:

Gus and Alonso are working late on the Ramiro Dorantes case. Gus says fraud is not his specialty, so he’ll need some help making the case airtight. Al promises to be there for him. He also reminds him that when things start to go bad for Ramiro, his brother will not take this lying down. They’ll all need to be extra-careful, which is telenovela foreshadowing for “there’s gonna be a shoot ‘em up.” Shall we nominate our favorite victims?

Corazon Que Miente, Week 4 (6/25/18) Thursday Update: Bro fu-fighting—no, not the young ones.

Episode #19
    Noé goes with the police quietly. The ladies are very agitated.
    Ren is still in the garden with Santi. She’s sure Mariela means nothing to Alonso (as Santi hinted) and if she did, Ren will just snap her fingers and she’s gone. Oh, says Santi, sort of the way she did with him?
    Leo is trying to find some inspiration for his next project, but is called home to help out with the latest crisis.
    Karla urges her adult son to not get involved with that tal Mariela. He should know she’s bad news and bad news travels fast around town (especially if Karla is driving the train). Liso laughs at her proposition and blows her off, even after hearing that Mari slapped his sister a little while ago. It was all because Flo told Mari to keep her hands off her boyfriend. Liso is very skeptical. When Mari calls, Liso answers, to the consternation of his mother.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/27/18 Chapter 85: Indecent Proposals

Olivia joins Alan for dinner.  Alan, the Quicksand Kid, the poster boy for Beta males everywhere, sits down and while waiting for their cocktails, offers the woman he supposedly loves and wants to spend the rest of his dull, lusterless life with--a beauty with whom he's shared a few, passionless lip locks that led nowhere--(drum roll)...not a diamond ring hidden at the bottom of her champagne glass nor baked into her dessert. Nope.  He regales her with ---wait for it--a set of shiny new keys to his apartment!!!  (Cue the crickets!) er...was that a whoopee cushion Viewerville just heard?

Oli, to her credit, is polite as always, and perhaps not so disappointed--rather more than less relieved it's only a set of keys. (Alan, you are so predictably tacky!)  She is more than a bit peeved and stutters that their relationship hasn't come to that bend in Proposition Road yet.  In fact, she'd hoped he saw her as more proper than propositional.  He asks her just what really happened in Cancun since she's come back from there a totally different woman. (Sure, thing Al.  You've dug yourself into a hole.  No reason to stop digging now.)

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/26/18 Chapter 84 Martes: Guilt



Chapter 84: Guilt
I'm Christopher Mason. Few people in this world feel completely free from guilt. This can be because of the teachings of childhood, a life-changing experience, or a feeling of inferiority. That makes it a powerful tool in the hands of the wrong people. In our today's story Guilt is a tidalwave.
  • Show me how you used it,” said Carlos after he handed the pen to Octavio.
    “I don't remember; it happened so fast. He was very violent,” Octavio said as he fumbled with the pen.
    “Show me how much force you used.”
    Octavio stood up and picked the pen up from the table.
    “I saw the knife and took it. Daniel was on the point of saying –”
    “To you?”

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/25/18 Chapter 83 Lunes: Sacrifices


Chapter 83: Sacrifices
I'm Christopher Mason. Everyone in modern society is told that they will make sacrifices for one reason or another. There can be sacrifices for love, for children, and for other reasons. But when is the sacrifice too great? In today's stories we will see several people for whom Sacrifices will have other consequences.
  • Nuria appeared behind Daniela as she argued her rights with Octavio. She stabbed her in the back at the waist, then took advantage of Daniela's shock to stab her in the stomach. The weapon was obviously a kitchen knife.
    “Nobody takes my son away from me!” she yelled visciously as her victim fell to the floor. “Least of all a monster like you!”

Corazon Que Miente, Week 4 (6/25/18) Monday Kickoff: Kisses 1 - Slaps 0

* Mariela is being wooed by Lisandro and wants to know if they can date. She says she’ll think about it. He’s even willing to help her with her land issue, regardless of what his dad says.
* Dem and Rog cook up a scheme to plant Noe’s fingerprints in Dem’s office, since they have no other evidence that he was the thief. Rog assures Dem Noé had to have been the thief.
* Santi tells granny Sara he thinks he’s at fault for Noe’s family disappearing. He was nasty to Lety. Sara doesn’t think Noé and Amalia would leave their jobs over that—and not talk to her first.
* Ren and Rafie chit chat about the party. Ren moons over Al. She hopes he comes. Rafie says being cousins makes no difference to her and Dem would be happy if his son gets interested in her.
* Dem breaks in on Sara and Fr. Daniel’s convo, regarding the Noé family. He says he fired the whole family because Noé was stealing the rent receipts—and he has witnesses. Sara defends them. Dem says he doesn’t want to see them around again. On his way out, Fr. Dan and Al exchange a few words. Basically, Al says he’s waited for years to punch Leo. He’s responsible for his mother’s death, whether or not he pulled the trigger. Dan says Leo loved Lucía. Al says that’s all the more reason for not forgiving him.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/22/18 Chapters 81/82: “Take ‘em away, kitten!”

Part 1:

DOWN IN THE ALLEY:

El Ciego and El Gato have the brothers Dorantes on their knees, pistols to their heads. Do you know who’s boss now? Do you? El Ciego makes them say it. The Fat Man is in tears, but Jacinto remains stoic. El Ciego holds the gun steady and very deliberately pulls the trigger.

Click. The gun’s not loaded! El Ciego cracks up. What a card. He waves everyone off with an insouciant “¡Llévatelos, Gatito!” (“Take ‘em away, kitten!”)


BUFETE CARLOS:

Carlos is having it out with Alan about the missing money. Alan points out that he needed to keep the despacho running while Carlos was in prison – a nice prison, by the way, as prisons go, and for that he needed to call in favors. That’s what you do for family. Carlos tells him that if all of this isn’t above board (I’m guessing the Ibarras use that term loosely), he’ll manage to forget he’s family. Nice try at being menacing, Carlos, but we’ve seen the big dogs, and you’re not one of them.

T.O.H.I.M.C.

Elena continues to display the personality transplant they accidentally performed on her when they were just supposed to be stitching her up. I have behaved so badly! I wasn’t fair to you! Ricardo’s all decked out in black and blue, which seems appropriate. Some cop guy marches in and tells her she needs to come down to the station and make her statement. Elena shouts, pouts, and whines (guess it was just a partial personality transplant.) Ricardo promises she’ll be there.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/21/18 Chapters 80/81: CYA Days

Parte 1~~
Replay: Leonardo takes a somewhat willing Olivia in his arms and asks her what will it take to demonstrate how much he truly loves her?   They kiss till Oli's overactive conscience takes over and she pushes away from Leo.  They cannot do this because she's dating Alan.  He apologizes for getting carried away.  She leaves him to sleep on the couch but relents enough to surprised him with a kiss to his forehead before retiring to the guestroom.

Meanwhile, at Paula and Alejandra's, Carlos swears to Ale, and a very skeptical Paula, that he had no idea that Benjamin Acosto was money-laundering funds given to The Foundation.  "--Remember Ale, it was you who recommended him to me.  But don't worry.  I will have a hearing where we advise all that you are totally innocent of this!   And, you know I will always protect you from whatever and whomever."  (Paula remains cool as a cucumber but is definitely fighting the urge to pay gut felt homage to the nearest toilet bowl.)

Corazon Que Miente, Week 3 (6/18/18) Thursday Update: The Slaps Just Keep on Coming

Episode #14 (Thu Jun 21)
1. Whoopee! Ren and Rafie overheard Rogelio boasting how the death of the doc made things easier for Dem. (Unfortunately, it wasn't just a few seconds earlier and it was Ren and Rafie who heard, not Mariela and Leo or Sara and Alonso. Well, we can’t have everything tied up in a bow 14 episodes in.) Alone with Ren, Dem explains how it really went. Rog tends to exaggerate. It troubles him because other people misunderstand. He explains in such simple terms even a kindergartner would understand that the doc’s house burned down AFTER they closed the deal. His passing away was a coincidence that happened to benefit them. Ren believes him. She gives him the little gift she brought and they share a hug. Ren indicates she no longer remembers a thing Rog said. Dem smiles and cups her face and tells her she’s a jewel, the daughter he never had (but doesn’t look at her that way as she leaves.)
2. Mariela accepts the doc’s job offer, but would like to work part time for a while. She’ll start in a couple of days.
3. Flo has had second thoughts regarding parental help with Santi. She asks her dad to ask Demián to put a little pressure on Santi. The men would form a Yentos tag team (note the masculine ending). He turns her down. He just can’t cross that line into the personal with Dem. Well, then he’d better be satisfied with her marrying any old body.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/20/18 Chapter 79 Miercoles: Words (#80 covered in the comments section)


    Chapter 79: Words
    I'm Christopher Mason. To anyone in the practice of law words are more than communication; they are weapons. Many people with less expertise use words to hit others with, but lawyers and politicians can and do use words with knife-sharp precision. In our story tonight we will see the direction of this war on all its fronts.
    • Jaime put the morning paper on the table and demanded an explanation from Jacinto Durantes. He told him in no uncertain terms that if he was deceiving him he would resign his case. Durantes told him he ha been in Alonso's office when the crime took place and he was fed up with lies being told about himself. He claimed he was fighting for his life.

    Por Amar Sin Ley, 6/19/18 Chapter 78: The Vultures Begin Circling


    Victoria, Alejandra and Olivia return to Oli's office to begin the divorce papers for Benjamin's soon-to-be-ex, Karina who, with the new dye job Viewerville failed at first to recognize.

    Candy Man Miguel is there for supper again at Elena's.  He's brought gifts again for the kids.  She must head out for a few minutes to get something last minute and leaves Miguel in charge.  He is visibly uptight being left alone with a couple of kids he barely knows.

    Back at Vega and Associates (which may soon be two fewer in number) Benji and the now fully clothed Leticia scream and yell  at each other about who is really to blame that they've not only been found out, but that the spaghetti spined Benji didn't claim Leti as his one and only love and thereby humiliated her in front of his wife, not to mention the boss and half the law firm saw her practically naked in her Victoria's not so Secret bvd's.  Ben angrily tells her they're both to blame and that he's got much more at stake here than she does!  She eventually throws him out of the office and tells him not to rely on her for a single thing from now on.

    I'm Christopher Mason. Love and business have one thing in common: Meetings. Meetings in which things can either explode or stagnate. Meetings that cause gossip... or jealousy. There are so many of them in our story.
