Primetime on Univisión (#2): Ringo, Amor Eterno. Sin Miedo a La Verdad - Week of Mar. 16, 2020
Greetings, Caraymates!
Welcome to page 2 of Primetime TNs/Series! Ringo
is in its last episodes! By my estimation, it should conclude no later than
Wednesday, March 25th; however, the TV guide I use still has it
continue at least through Mar 27th, so we’ll just have to wait ‘n
see what happens. Diana and RGVChick are providing recaps for Ringo; and, AnonFri is recapping Amor Eterno with assistance from Clara. If
some other brave soul(s) would like to contribute a recap or just some
highlights for RLPDSV, AE, or SMALV, I’m sure the it would be
appreciated. You can also add to or clarify scenes/details, especially those
that are favs or not-so-favs. The TNs covered by this page are:
8PM - Ringo: La Pelea de Su Vida: Ep. 79-80
9PM – Amor Eterno: Season
2, Ep. 167-168
10PM – Sin Miedo a La
Verda NS

Franco: Thanks for sharing.

Me Declaro Culpable #21, 3/17/20: Denial is not just a river in Egypt
This is “fast and dirty”, Patio. I’m tired and stressed. On top of grandma day care, our son’s local wedding
this coming weekend has been rescheduled thx
to COVID-19 and ten-person gathering suggested limit (which I wholly support!!! #flattenthecurve). Crazy times we live in right now. The novios have scrambled to find an alternate solution, and now we have a long day trip tomorrow to
meet halfway between where her parents live and where we live, for a “pop-up”
wedding with only the parentals in attendance, and la nieta. Our week is as crazy as this telenovela. So here it is, Patio. Forgive me
for the lack of detail. I’ve got bigger
fish to fry.
Oh, and the local transmission of this show has been the
total pits the past two days, so there are parts I could neither see, hear, and
how does one recap a test pattern? Oh,
forget it. My give-a-darn meter is busted.
ALBA/GABRIEL/INGRID STUFF
Ingrid must work out at Orange Theory or Crossfit. She managed to get Gabriel off the floor and
onto his bed muy pronto. But hey, she hauled Luciana to the dump, so there we have it. Pedro shows up
to visit Gabe. Crafty Ingrid tells him Gabe
is asleep, has a slight fever, he’ll see him tomorrow at school. Then the bank calls and while Ingrid is
talking to them, Pedro goes on back to Gabe’s room, does not like what he sees,
and says ‘bye to Ingrid like everything
is normal. We learn later that he went
straight to Alba and told her Gabe is in danger; something is wrong over there in crazy town.

Me Declaro Culpable #20, 3/16/20: Bloodsuckers and Emotional Vampires, and a Little Poisoning to Boot
Wow. Watching these episodes is exhausting. Drama and über-drama out the wazoo. Except for Franco who just keeps saying "tranquilo, tranquilo". Well, he didn't look too tranquilo when he was laying hot and heavy kisses on Alba. And Gabriel was far from tranquilo when he saw what his mama, only four months a widow by the way, was up to with her lawyer. Ingrid claims to be "chapada a la antigua" [old-fashioned] because I guess I am too. Moving on from widowhood that quickly seems unseemly to me. But evidently in telenovela-world it's okay. At least that's what Franco, Gael and Julieta are all preaching. And they're supposedly in the "good guy" cadre.
But we start with fireworks. First the Beso Fireworks. Then the Outraged Gabriel Fireworks. Alba runs after him, pleading that he's the most important thing in life to her. She's been trying to connect with him, looking everywhere for him. Please wait and let me explain! Gabe isn't buying it. Nor does he now believe that she really misses his dad. How can he trust her when she always lies? Alba swears that she never lies! (How about lying to yourself, sweet lady?

Me Declaro Culpable #19, 3/13/20: The Wait is Over, There’s a KISS
There is still room at the #frustratedwithNatalia table,
because she could still change her mind. Let’s get right to it.
The two Amazonas stop, in broad daylight, get the body of skinny Luciana out and rolled over into a pile of trash. Ingrid wants to hurry away. Bertie wants to say “goodbye” to her friend. She removes a fancy dinner ring Bertie had given her for her birthday awhile back to keep as a trophy. [Note to future forensic investigators: Will the ring be a key to identifying the killer? And what about Luciana’s shroud. I bet that could be traced back to the clinic.]

Julián gives Nat the
Heave Ho
Natalia starts out strong, but Julián’s barrage of emotional
torture and spit spray in her face seems to turn her back into her
jellyfish stage. Julián leaves her standing in the dimly lit office after
pronouncing that after all the love he’s given her, supported her, knowing all
her secrets and defects, he still loves her, but he’s tired of all the drama
and she’s A.L.O.N.E. [Note to Natalia: We are waiting for you to decide between
being forced to choose a sleazy jerk who can perform in bed and the guilt of
choosing a really sweet guy who thinks he can’t, all because you caused his
condition.]
Who’s Minding the
Dump? A dog.
Ingrid chats nonchalantly with Mauro on her cell phone after
escaping the manicomio with Bertie and now navigating through mounds of
discarded human detritus. She tells him they are ok and passes the phone to
Bertie.The two Amazonas stop, in broad daylight, get the body of skinny Luciana out and rolled over into a pile of trash. Ingrid wants to hurry away. Bertie wants to say “goodbye” to her friend.

Me Declaro Culpable #18, 3/12/20: On the bright side Luciana won't have to worry about her diet anymore
Patio peeps this was totes intense.
A few observations: Do we know what the cause of death for Javier was? Because with the bald head they make it seem like it's cancer, but they also made it sound like Alzheimer's, but now we are being told his illness was a result of being poisoned by Ingrid. This is sloppy writing, how much access to him did Ingrid have that she could continue to poison him on a long term basis? What herb could cause you to lose your memories like he did? I'm confused, can anyone help me figure this out? Oooh also, because of the way in which he died wouldn't they have preformed an autopsy which would have revealed that he had been poisoned? This is a case for Forensic Files! Now to our recap:
We start the episode where we left off last night, Julian and Natalia are having a screaming match, Julian is getting a little too close for comfort and thankfully before things can get worse for Natalia Gael shows up and grabs Julian by the throat. I'm sitting on my couch cheering for Gael, I want blood! Sadly for me Natalia manages to get Gael to let go of Julian without further violence and I'm sad, someone needed to punch his lights out. I'm not violent, I swear. Julian slithers away but not before telling Natalia that "this isn't over".

Me Declaro Culpable #17, 3/11/20: La Declararon Loca
No snark, this was a down-to-business episode with a lot of meat
in it. And backstory. No fluff. Enjoy. Daniela
Castro rocked her role today. What an actress!
She deserves an Emmy.
We open with Roberta pleading to Franco “don’t leave me,
don’t send me away, etc.” Roberta wants
to go home.
Later on, Franco calls Alba in the middle of the night,
wakes her up, wants to know how she is doing after almost meeting her maker,
compliments of Roberta and her butcher knife.
He feels bad about what Bertie did.
Alba tells him that just the sound of his voice makes everything
better. Awwwww….. (Methinks it’s his Argentinean accent that has her swooning. Well, that and his hot looks. But I digress.) This relationship is so going somewhere. And Franco, holding his cup of coffee at the
other end of the phone call, brings to mind one of those old Nescafe commercials on TV.
Conversation between Roberta and Daddy Dearest a/k/a Mauro ---
she tells him he is the worst father
ever, his lies, him hitting her when she was a little girl, etc. Mauro says her illness is fabricating all
that, creating false memories. Roberta
tells him that good fathers do not treat their kids the way you treated
me. You mistreated me, tortured me, made
me suffer, lied to me, left marks on me.
(not sure if
that means bruises or scars on her skin.)

Me Declaro Culpable #16, 3/10/20: Bed Heads
Radio Mala Racha:
The "mysterious caller" goes on and on. And on. And on. Not only are there no peepholes in Alternate Mexico City, there are no kill switches either. Finally Alba flees in tears, followed by Franco, who tries to talk her down. You are innocent! I am guilty! I can't recognize my own wife's voice! Me neither! It all ends in an inappropriate hug as usual, inconveniently witnessed by Roberta through the glass door of the studio. If you're wondering QTH she could possibly be doing right there right then, join the rest of us. We will probably never know, because she does a 180 and disappears.
Casa Paolo:
Paolo and Katia are sharing fond memories on top of the bedclothes. She tries to kiss him and is rebuffed, which for some reason moves her to strip down to her Frederico's of Hollywood and announce, "I don't really expect anything to happen between us; I just want to be near you." Honey? If you're shoving that much cleavage under a guy's chin and he's still looking at you like he needs a Maalox, he's just not that into you.
Despacho Pro Bono:
Mauro has only just now noticed that no one ever comes to work anymore, especially "Juliancito," whose main client just dumped the firm because nobody was paying any attention to him. Where is the little toad, anyway? Olga blandly replies that perhaps something has happened to him. Mauro says he'd better hope something has, or something's gonna.

Me Declaro Culpable #15, 3/9/20: The Tables Are Set And The Knives Come out
Another rough episode with treacherous women dealing out low blows to our clueless heroes and heroines. Perhaps this is why Univisión has bumped the show up to 2 pm. We don't want the kiddies coming home from school to see this kind of emotional carnage on the TV. I'm assuming Como Dice el Dicho is milder fare.
It's not all misery though. Ingrid and Julián apparently pass a hawt Nooner Only Sooner at his place; and Gabriel has an opportunity to do the same with a paid escort the previous night, but gallantly saves himself for the First Time with someone he loves. Too bad that "someone" is the sexy young mom of his best friend.

Me Declaro Culpable #14, 3/6/20: Guess Who is Coming to Dinner
If you guessed Paolo, you’d be wrong. Here’s what went down today.
It wasn’t pretty.
Ensalada Interruptus
Alba has forgiven herself for misjudging Franco and the two are having a lawyer-client conversation complete with hand-fondling. They talk mainly about how Ingrid has turned Gabe against her and there’s nothing she can do about it. She doesn’t blame him, since of course she is an assassin. He rejects that notion. He does admit that hers is a difficult case, but they will prevail. He tells her not to lose faith. He asks her to go out for a salad as friends, not missing an opportunity to put his arm around her waist and then both hands on her shoulders. Olga, the secretary cum spy recruited by Bertie makes a call.
Bertie has just returned from her treatment at the hands of Dr. Luciana Matasanos, or in this case Metaesperma. She knows she must rest but promptly cuts her off when Olga’s call comes in, who passes on what she just observed. Alba and Franco have barely enjoyed a couple of bites and a couple of “looks” when a dark shadow passes in front of them. Bertie sidles up to the table. She explains she needed to talk to Franco and since he wasn’t in his office guessed he might be here. She’s quite civil, pleasant and offers apologies to Alba for interrupting. Alba jumps up from the table (it hard to say why—feeling guilty?), ceding her place to Bertie. Alba excuses herself and Bertie sits down. After some back and forth as to who deserves the salad, Franco tells her she can have his salad, too, and gets up and leaves telling her to enjoy. Bertie samples the broccoli.

Me Declaro Culpable #13, 3/5/20: Natalia Gets a Clue
Good morning peeps, it is 2 am pacific so this recap will be fast and easy.
The bombshell: Natalia learns the truth
Paolo sends Katia packing, later he and Natalia hang out (the editing in this novela is terrible) he tells her that he spent time with Katia but that he is not interested in her any more, the conversation then moves to Paolo being disappointed because there are so many things that he can no longer do. Natalia points out that while that may be true there are things that he can still do and asks him what else he would have wanted to do other than play soccer. He tells her he would have loved to be a race car driver (men!), Natalia tells him he can still do this and takes him out for a drive. And this folks is when things go sour, so so sour.
Natalia is in the passenger seat, she's not wearing a seatbelt- dumb bunny, and is helping guide Paolo's driving, they then arrive at the scene of Paolo's accident and that's when Natalia realizes that she was the person who ran over him, she has a mental breakdown and cancels the rest of their plans with some lame excuse about having to do something with her mom. Guys, she wants us to believe she wants to spend time with that nut ball, is nut ball one word or two?

Paolo sends Katia packing, later he and Natalia hang out (the editing in this novela is terrible) he tells her that he spent time with Katia but that he is not interested in her any more, the conversation then moves to Paolo being disappointed because there are so many things that he can no longer do. Natalia points out that while that may be true there are things that he can still do and asks him what else he would have wanted to do other than play soccer. He tells her he would have loved to be a race car driver (men!), Natalia tells him he can still do this and takes him out for a drive. And this folks is when things go sour, so so sour.
Natalia is in the passenger seat, she's not wearing a seatbelt- dumb bunny, and is helping guide Paolo's driving, they then arrive at the scene of Paolo's accident and that's when Natalia realizes that she was the person who ran over him, she has a mental breakdown and cancels the rest of their plans with some lame excuse about having to do something with her mom. Guys, she wants us to believe she wants to spend time with that nut ball, is nut ball one word or two?

Me Declaro Culpable #12, 3/4/20: Confusiones
Some scenes are combined, some not explored fully, but you'll get the idea. My cable company/DVR has a title for each
episode. Today’s was “Confusiones” so
that sounded good enough to me. There are lots of
confused people in this telenovela and we all know who they are.
We open with Alba & Franco in the hotel room, still
arguing about what has just happened (see yesterday’s recap). She is ranting on, tells him that now she
understand “pro bono” and “I’m your bono, eh?” (yet they never really talk about the red
dress on the bed).
Alba tells Franco that Olga gave her the papers, with instructions
to bring them to Franco. Like the good
legal “runner” she is (not!), she did just that. We viewers do not question "why?" We just roll with it, or else we, too, will be confused. Just like these characters. But I digress ... Franco says he never had Olga do any such thing. Alba calls him a
liar. (awww, their first lovers’
quarrel)

Me Declaro Culpable #11, 3/3/20: Nuclear-Option Families
Bufete Monroy-Urzua:
Mauro tells Ingrid the judge has ordered her to undergo a psych eval, and she goes all poor pitiful me on him. He has clearly never been all the way around the block, because he falls for it hook, line and wishful thinking. He swears he is willing to make his son-in-law his worst enemy...if it's for her. Gawd, what a dope.
Alba brings Franco a sexy salad in his moonlight office, and he insists they share it. I hope she at least brought two forks. She confesses she has to hang out for a while because she's temporarily turned the Coffee Shop into an AirBnB for a lovelorn "friend."
Roberta shows up hoping for a romantic round two but overhears Franco and Alba giggling behind the closed door. She ducks down and calls him, pretending that Natalia's having a crisis and needs him right now, as in RIGHT NOW. Super Dad flies out the door and Mommy Dearest flies in, grabbing fistfuls of Al's hair and calling her every name we've already heard and at least one we still haven't, because it was so bad it got bleeped out. Any lip-readers out there?

Me Declaro Culpable #10, 3/2/20: Roberta Goes Hunting and Bags Herself a Man
Well, that wasn't all that happened of course. Nat was prevented from confessing; Julián did unspeakable things to her teddy bear; Roberta and Alba both showed their technical prowess with cellphones; Ingrid pulled some more crazy ghost numbers, but Roberta seducing Franco took the cake as they say. Remember when we all chortled that she'd need to get him drunk or drugged to fake a pregnancy? Not at all. Just come onto him in the office and he's your guy. Ready and able. Little soldier up and ready to fire. But let's leave that gruesome scene for later. How did this episode begin?
With Julián on a public phone, rasping with a Beelzebub voice, telling Franco his very own daughter is the one who hit the soccer star he's defending and left him for dead. Franco refuses to believe a cowardly anonymous caller, so Julián suggests he investigate. "You'll soon find out your darling daughter belongs behind bars."

Me Declaro Culpable #9, 2/28/20: Shushshsh; It’s the Fox vs. the Nag
We left off where Franco is informing LaLoca that he’s had
enough and he’s moving out of the house.
Read more »
(First a Fashion Note: Roberta is wearing a see through print
blouse with gathers between elbow and wrist and a black halter bra underneath.
She’s divided in half by a 5” patent leather belt. Her short, tight, black
skirt has seemingly been enhanced in the rear. It actually is quite a striking
ensemble, just not on her.)
Bertie is all Katy Bar
the (Barn) Door
She is trying to keep Franco from abandoning their home and
hearth. She runs through a mental list of all the reasons he can’t leave her.
He’s deaf to any of the reasons. She’s convinced that he’s leaving her for that
ZORRA. (Time out for vocabulary: zorra = whore, a puta, perra AND a fox. Foxes are
quite beautiful animals and women can be foxy. I’ll leave it at that and use “fox”
to describe Alba, for I’m sure we’ll be hearing “zorra” repeated endlessly.) In
addition, adds Bertie, she’s a killer. How could he have stooped so low. She
wants to know the truth, that she’s Franco’s lover. Franco says she’s pathetic.
He just can’t take it anymore, peeling her off of his jacket. She bares her
teeth, like an old nag and swears she’ll kill him.

Me Declaro Culpable #7, 2/26/20: The plot thickens
Here goes, Patio. First time to post on the main page. Yikes. If I mess this up, I hope one of the recapping team can fix it. Aaaack! I am sweating bullets!
Some scenes are combined, some glossed over. And if I misinterpreted any dialog, please correct it? Our characters were very busy today.
We open at with Natalia & Paolo at the park. She is doing a good job of walking in those 4-inch spike heels on the brick-paver/cobblestone path. Ah, to be young again. Her phone rings, and Paolo makes snarky comment that it's probably loverboy Julian. (it is)
Vile Julian tells Nat he has the phone number of the guy in Toronto who she H&Red (Hit and Ran) and encourages her to call the guy. While she is engrossed in her convo, Paolo leaves.
Alba apologizes to Ingrid for the chokehold (girl learned some life skills in prison that might serve her well, later on?). Ingrid rattles on that she never had a kid and doesn't know what that's like, but she has taken care of Gabe all his life and saw more of him than Alba has. Alba agrees, but I want my son. Now.
Gabe calls Alba pleading with her to get him out of Ingrid's Crazy House. He can't take it anymore. Alba says she will talk to the lawyer. (Awww, here is another excuse to see Franco)
Julian is coaching the fake "victim" on how to act and what to say when Natalia calls him. Dirtbag.

Me Declaro Culpable #6, 2/25/20: Screaming Meanies
Bufete Monroy:
Franco and Alba make an after-dark exit from the despacho. As he's handing her into the car to drive her back home -- i.e. the coffee shop, which is close enough for her to walk every morning with a fully laden coffee tray, but juarever -- he notices a flat tire. Turns out he doesn't know how to change a flat because all he ever does is hand porn and lawyer stuffs, so she does it for him. He calls her a little box o' surprises and grins goofily.
Meanwhile, Roberta is spying on them from her own parked car and just can't handle all that jack action. She hits the gas and tries to flatten Alba like a panqueque but only succeeds in pushing them into each other's arms. Well, so much for that plan.
Casa Urzua:
Julian is for some reason all alone in a house he doesn't live in, desperately trying to convince Nati over the phone not to turn herself in. She hangs up on him -- twice! -- and then refuses to answer his calls. He's just gotten out the requisite "no puede ser!" when Roberta crashes through the front door looking even more assymetrical than usual and starts chugging a bottle of whisky from the bar. They argue over who has the bigger problem, and of course Roberta wins because she's crazier. She peppers him with "sueltames" and "largates" and then runs upstairs and swallows the contents of every bottle on her nightstand.
Depa Duenas:
Ingrid flashes back to her brother's death scene, including a few small details we didn't know about. Apparently after Alba flipped the switch, she freaked out and switched it right back on again, but she was so overcome by grief and guilt and pretty tears that she didn't notice her husband was still alive. Ingrid rushed in screaming and chased her away, then very deliberately -- and permanently -- turned the machine back off. "Sorry, brother," she said. "I had to do it."

Me Declaro Culpable #5, 2/24/20: Three Hysterics and a Funeral
There was a lot of wailing, weeping and gnashing of teeth this episode. Roberta, Ingrid and Natalia were all fighting for the Hysteria Honors. I'll let you decide who, if anybody, won the grand prize. But let's start at the beginning....
The breakfast chez Paolo is going badly. He's venting about the horrid person who hit him and left him for dead, as an anguished Natalia listens-- and gradually realizes she's the culprit who ruined his life. Way to kill the mood, Paolo, not to mention her appetite. He's all over himself apologizing and she's all over herself getting out of there. Seems there's an urgent errand she has to run for her dad. Leaving Paolo and the breakfast behind, she flees at top speed. And in such a hurry she leaves her cellphone behind. Pal Dante thinks it's a ploy. "Hey, just means she wants to see you again." Paolo's not so sure. He's afraid he blew it with his angry rant about the accident.
At the office, relationships are equally fraught. Roberta is fixing Alba with a death glare, and chastising her husband for representing a heartless lady who "unplugged" her husband. Alba wisely departs, while Roberta is merely ramping up with more. When Franco quietly points out the lady has none nothing to Robs to merit that treatment, she snarls "Oh yes she has! She's come between us!"

CarayCaray Lexicon for The Patio of Lowered Expectations - Part II
RECAPPER-SPECIFIC GLOSSARY
Recaplet – A very
short recap (Blue Lass on CQM)
Mini-recaplet – An
even shorter recap (Somewhere in the mists of Caray, brought back by Doris in Y
Mañana Será Otro Día.)
Bunnycap –
Variation on the above (Susanlynn meant to say Bonny Recap, but tablet didn’t
like it and preferred Bunnycap.)
Recrap – To be
forced to produce a cogent retelling of an episode which is totally
indigestible; commonly applied when the whole telenovela falls into this
category.
Craptastic – Late
addition provided by Doris, remembering Beckster who used it in FELS to explain
crap that is fantastic. (Example: Seriously, we spent the first two nights of
this craptastic story, watching Bernardo make sweet Feb/Dec love to young
mentally deficient Libia. (Feb/Dec as in not even in the same year).….Since
that time we have endured the same drawn out, overplayed hand. The only thing
that has changed is somewhere along the dull endless path, Sofie popped a kid
out, Juan went on a sabbatical to visit Indians, who thought he was smart, how
sad is that?)

CarayCaray Lexicon for The Patio of Lowered Expectations - Part I
PATIO-SPECIFIC GLOSSARY
Patio of Lowered
Expectations – A virtual location furnished with tables, umbrellas and
drinks of choice. Viewers choose a table around which to congregate and support
characters. Seats not reserved. Shifting to other tables usually follows
shifting plot lines. Viewerville has learned that in order to enjoy this patio,
love, ecstasy, hope, solid storyline and believable characters are rare, but
enough to make it possible to get to La Boda at the end. (Note: In the last
couple of years, bodas have fallen out of favor, replaced by a paltry El
Fin—thus further lowering expectations.)
Petite Patio –
This occurs when a telenovela sinks under its own weight due to an atrocious story,
regardless of the quality of the cast, direction and filming. As the Patio
shrinks, what is left is the Petite Patio, committed to each other, rather than
to the telenovela. (JudyB, in reference to the Patio during Y Mañana Sera Otro
Día.)
