Caray, Caray!

Hey, Judy, stay dry on the patio. We have tons of left over Easter candy. Tonight it is chocolate covered marshmallow eggs.

 1. Claudio reminds Mario that Adrián didn't only betray him as a partner but he also took the woman he was going to marry. Mario thinks that now he is actually grateful that he avoided marrying a woman like Vero. He also thinks that Adrián suspects he fell in love with Natalia. Claudio chokes on his drink as he proclaims: Sacre bleu!

2. JuanGa and 2XJosé are upset with Granny Magos who is in bed but did not tell them how ill she was. Granny Magos said that she didn't want to tell them because she didn't want to fill the house with tears and sadness. 2XJosé  says will do whatever she wants. She make sit clear that she  only needs two things. In the first place, she wants Juanga to cancel his wedding. JuanGa dissolves in tears as he whines on about how much he loves Olga and how he wants her to be the mother of his five kids. She tells him to put off the wedding because only time will tell where things are going with Olga.  As for 2XJosé, she wants him to be the first Ramírez to get a university degree. 2XJosé agrees that is exactly what he intends to do. He wants to have that diploma hanging on the wall in the living room where it will look really good. He tells her she has to get well so he can show it off to her. She asks them for a hug and they both join her on the bed to hug and all cry together.

 Sorry, patio peeps.  No time to do the page for last night's episodio.  The only  a few things of great importance is that Natalia admitted to Magos that she's in love with Vicente, Felix is in the barrio searching for Mario but got the wrong address as given by Claudio to Adrian.  Valentina's seen him outside the garage and avoided him seeing her by doing a wonderous liplock on Mario.  Clod's also warned Mario that Adrian wanted his address and since he doesn't trust Adrian he gave out a false one.  Omar got out of a motel room bed and Veronica was in the other room rushing him to get dressed.  Samia told Constanza that Elias has had a change of heart so that if the baby is a boy and is Omar's he will inherit and be responsible for the kid.  Conz spit nails at Sam for even considering this.  She's raising the kid and ain't nobody else to stick their honker noses into it.

As she goes to hit Natalia, Natalia grabs her arm and tells her not to dare touch her. Juanga grabs Olga to keep her under control. Olga changes the subject and tells Natalia that she is a fine one to talk when she is the one with the bad reputation that she got all by herself chasing after Chente. As Mario watches on, Natalia tells her she doesn't have to explain to anyone about anything she does in her personal life. As Juanga tries to defend Olga,  Natalia warns him to mind his own business.

Parte 1~

⦁ So Elias has come to the jail to complain to Adrian about the sudden turn of affairs: he's learned that Adi arranged a deal with Piedro to purchase shares in Elias's company from Pedro.  So now, Adi has effectively used the money he embezzled from Elias and others to buy 30% ownership of Elias Hadad's company.  Adi remarks "-- a nice bit of irony, isn't it?"  Eli yells at him that it's a low-down dirty trick but Adi kicks away his chair in a fit of temper and screams back what's low-down and dirty is what he did to his daughter.  "--Andrea is a social climber!"  Adi grabs Eli by the collar.  "--Watch your mouth you dog!  I'm going to get back what Veronica stole from me!  And you better than anyone knows that money is power.  This guard and various others are on my payroll.  I could smash your damned head in and nobody would bother to stop me.  But, don't worry.  I wouldn't think of hurting my new business partner."

 Hi peeps, here's your recap:

• Andrea wants to get an abortion but because she's a minor she needs parental permission and she knows Natalia would never agree, she confides in Olga who recommends that she go to a clinic that Kimberly went to once, they don't ask any questions! Tell me you want to die without telling me you want to die.
• Constanza tries to get Mario to agree to receive all of her assets in order to hide them from her husband, she straight up tells Mario that he's an idiot but he's an honest idiot.
• Natalia and Chente share a romantic night, they drink and he serenades her- they KISS! 
• Meanwhile Tere and Magos get wasted on either mezcal or tequila, whatever it was it made the ladies have a very good time, a drunk Teresa confesses to Mago's that she only married Claudio out of fear of being alone but she never loved him, her one true love was her dead husband. Isn't awful what women will settle for just for fear of being alone?
• Claudio walks in on the women and comments on what a mistake it was to drink so much- Tere tells him that the only mistake she's made was marrying him.

1.Chente appears on the road in Valle de Bravo. Natalia is so happy see him that she runs into his arms. Chente looks like he knows this is who he belongs with. Chente assures her it is all going to  be fine and he is there to help her. She pulls away and says how embarrassed she is to have brought him all the way out there. He smiles and says she would have done the same for him. He goes for his toolbox as she tells him how the car was running fine until she heard a little noise and suddenly there was smoke coming out from under the hood.  Later she found out that her cellphone was dead. He confidently says he is sure it will be something very easy to fix and investigates under the hood.

2. Ben continues to flee in terror still hearing the gunshots as Regina and 2XJosé decide to look for him one last time before calling the police.

[This may not be in the same order as presented....--ed.]

⦁ At breakfast Magos once again encourages Vicente to pursue Natalia; he shouldn't let her get away. "Happiness is knocking at the door."  He should open that door and welcome it in.  Just then Nata walks into the room with Benji.  The two of them look so right together.  "--We overslept.  Ready for breakfast?"

⦁ At the rooming house, Jose Jose tells Juanga he's not so sure that his brother should be getting married to Olga.  Dating her is enough, but the thought of marriage is really a disgustingly ridiculous idea.  Juanga says Jojo is just upset cause he hasn't managed to get Regina to take the bait.  Take care of his own romantic life before complaining about his.

 Hey, JudyB, 

I see you out on the patio. It is still a little chilly so stay close to a heat lamp. Hope you enjoyed this episode.

1. Tavo and Chole disappear into the boarding house kissing all the while. 

2. Natalia wants to know why Regina has decided to leave the house when she thought  everything was okay. Regina explains it is because of Andrea who is not doing well at all. Natalia insists that Andrea must need her, too, so she should be looking for a new place for the three of them to stay. Regina has to tell her mother one more time that Andrea is not leaving her aunt's house but maybe Natalia could help watch over her while she is expecting. A tearful Natalia explains she is trying to understand but she cannot deal with the fact that her little girls are leaving. She asks if Connie agrees with her coming to stay with her sister. Regina says Connie doesn't know  yet but she doesn't care because she is not going to leave Andrea alone. Natalia grabs her and kisses her on the head.

Here are the current telenovelas (all times are Eastern Daylight Time):

9-10PM - Hercai: Amor y Venganza 2**
10-11PM - Pasión de Gavilanes 2**

**On Wednesday, April 13, there's a one-day schedule change. As usual, Zap2It and Telemundo's program guide disagree about the specifics. According to Zap2It, on Wednesday Hercai will be shown at 10PM and Pasión will not be shown. However, Telemundo's program guide claims that both telenovelas will be pre-empted by fútbol. Your guess is as good as mine. Both sources agree that everything goes back to normal on Thursday.

⦁ Natalia is a bit redfaced after Vicente tells her she is right to move out as soon as possible.  She says she only needs a couple of weeks to find a place she can afford.  Although Mario has offered to help her out...--Chente mocks her and says that she'd rather have Mario's help; she insists it was Mario's idea since he'd helped her earlier right after Adrien had first abandoned her and the girls.  However, she's refusing it again because she just doesn't feel comfortable with him.  So, that's why she had thought to remain there in the house.  And, Chente realizes that he's stuck his foot in it again with Natalia.

 1. A smiling  Natalia enters the kitchen as Mario and Chente continue to argue about who can provide Natalia with what she needs with Mario informing Chente that  he has arrived to put things in order. Natalia tells Mario how elegant he looks in his pj's. Mario snaps back that he feels ridiculous. Chente can see that because he doesn't have the "muscle" to fill them out.  Natalia notices the breakfast that Mario has made for them and asks Chente if he wouldn't agree that it is just lovely. Mario smirks and an infuriated Chente bites his tongue. 

2. Elias tells his  hysterical son not to worry because he has been working on  keeping him safe from the law. Elías asks Omar if anyone saw him leaving the room. Omar has to admit a maid must have seen him. Elías keeps up his act and says Omar did the right thing calling him because beyond anything else, Omar is his son and he will always protect him.  Elías believes him but "admits" that the police could be a problem with a "witness" and the "incriminating evidence." Omar is afraid of ending up in  jail for something he didn't do. Elías says he would never allow that to happen and will get him out of the country immediately.  As Omar keeps sobbing, Elías caresses his face and tells him to calm down.

⦁ Vicente and Natalia continue discussing Magos' age and infirmities while still seated at the uptown restaurant.  They agree that, at this advanced age, she should continue living there at the house with them.  Nata has skirted the cancer angle.

⦁ At the resort, Juanga is very obviously moping after Chole who he's seen passionately mouth-melding with Gustavo.  Magos has Juanga sit with her.  She advises him to give up on the impossible dream woman and look for one who is much more attainable and who can truly appreciate him.

⦁ Back at Constanza's vacation casota, it's lunchtime and the guest list is now whittled down by three.  Connie complains to Teresa about Regina's gross lack of manners and defends her opposition to allowing any hoi polloi, i.e., the brutish barrio rabble, to sit at her table.  Claudio defends Connie's class-conscious social stratification along with Andrea who nods in agreement with each of Constanza's complaints.  Clod says Regi is picking up her mother's bad habits.  Connie says she wouldn't be surprised if Nata ends up becoming Chente's lover.  (Oh, the shame of it all!)
