Pasión y Poder #11 Martes 11/17/15
Chapter
11: Sex, Lies, and Seduction
Eladio
left Monserrat's apartment just missing Erick, who ducked out of
sight just time to to avoid being caught. Once Eladio was gone Erick
took the long-stemmed roses he had brought and hit the wall twice
with them. That was enough to scatter the petals all over the floor.
He then rang Monserrat's doorbell and charged in, demanding some
answers. She finally told him that Eladio Gómez Luna paid for the
apartment.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #61 Tue 11/17/15 (Mex 89) Buncha lying liars
Benito can try to fake it all he wants, but Pedro heard what he heard.
Gael confides in Roxi about Osvaldo's threat. She knows Osvaldo's capable of some truly assy behavior, but she doesn't think he'd come at Gi after everything Pedro has done. She even apologizes for exposing them to Eloisa. She half-jokingly says if he's going to break up with Gi, he'd better not kill her in the process!
Pedro goes to Gianna's room looking for Fi. She's playing with her balloons, which unfortunately does not include inhaling the helium and inviting Pedro to do the same. She's looking for Gael, but he won't answer his phone.

Antes muerte que Lichita #40 Monday 11/16/15: Alicia on the rise and Alex's secret uncovered.
Alicia's surprise presentation in kimono is a big hit - she then take off the kimono and underneath is a t-shirt and skirt, she says, and THIS is the heart of the Latina. (?) Anyway, Augusto loves the presentation and so does the client, who says: "This is much more original than the first one you showed me, I'm enchanted, it's good that Alicia and not Luciana is now our creative director." She gets applause.
After they leave (the client saying, "you robbed my heart,") Sandra screams at Alicia about pulling this surprise. Beto deflects the rage saying "I knew about it," which is not true, and Augusto points out that it was all a success so stop beefing. Alone, Elias congratulates Alicia: "you are truly a creative director and remember - it's better to surprise than disappoint."
Magos pathetically continues to more-or-less pole dance all around Luis, purported father of Ximena. He pays little attention. Turns out the blond in the photo on his desk is his girlfriend. [How did he get this job with an office so easily??] Mags is undaunted.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #90 Lunes 11/16/15
Chapter
90: The Great Escape
Orlando
and Doris talked. They needed to dispel all misunderstanding. She
apologised for the needy message. He realized that since the change
in their relationship he had been very happy. But he said he needed
to get away from the nabe and from Isela. He needed a little time.
“I wanted to live here in Chelito's town. With you.” That was
the best news Doris ever heard. They went inside.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #60 Mon 11/16/15 (Mex 87-88) Los ricos también sufren. . .de la estupidez!
Ciao, Peeps! Well, here's tonight's action and, in true Patio fashion, y'all should feel free to fill in because there was a lot of business talk tonight and I'm kinda wobbly on that stuff. Anywho, here goes. There was some jumping around so I have combined scenes and hope it's coherent. Freddie hears Fiorella tell Simoneta that while she doesn't want to return to Pedro, because he's engaged, she is not sure she wants to marry Vittorio either.
Julieta tells Sergio she's going to Italy, Rome to be exact, with Santino Orsini. Sergio is immediately jealous and thinks he should go with her but Julieta nixes the idea.
Freddie reports back to Dante about Fiorella and Gianna moving back into El Rancho. She directs this little plotting session: the goal is to keep Pedro away from Aitana AND Fiorella so that he can suffer the way she suffered when her Father died (kinda of an "off" comparison, but this is Freddie), and she wants to make sure Fifi marries Vitto so as to be rid of the opportunistic Italian heffa! The first step is Dante's telling Eloisa about the hospital room Pedro has set up. He trots off like a dutiful bull dog.

RECAP BY JDESDENYC!
As usual, scenes combined, not continuous
Honoria Hangs on to Hope
Jenny tells Hon per her doctor boss, they are many techniques, devices and procedures that can help Julian have a child. The important thing is that Julian takes medical tests to find out if he's able to have children since his inability to move his legs doesn't mean he's sterile.
Hon asks Jenny if she would be willing to have children with Julian. Jenny reminds Hon that Julian has completely friendzoned her. He sees her as a sister and any children she has, he'd only be their uncle.

Pasión y Poder #9, November 13: So yeah, I went out with your sister, mi amor.
(some scenes have been combined)
David and Regina are both "wowed" by the passionate smooch they have shared. She's drunk and admits that she doesn't dislike him like she had made him believe. He thinks she needs to rest and she stumbles into her room and falls onto the bed. He asks if she's alright and helps her get out of her heels. She pulls him onto the bed with her. But he doesn't want a repeat of what happened with Daniela. She doesn't realize that when he said "Daniela" he meant her sister and asks him if he has a girlfriend. He replies that he doesn't and then quickly changes the subject telling her that he'll call room service to bring her some coffee to help cure her drunkenness. As he heads to the phone, she pulls him from the back of his shirt, and almost falls down. He catches her and then helps her get back onto the bed. The two now sit together on the bed, and she tells him that for the first time in her life she's going to do what she wants. She then pulls him on top of her as they both lay down on the bed.
Over with the poor folks .. Maribel tells Doña Gisela and Clara that she'll have to use a part of her and her husband Jacinto's savings to pay for the medical tests that she needs to have done. She mentions how the doctor said that she didn't like what she saw. Doña Gisela thinks it doesn't sound good and urges Maribel to let her husband know what is happening. But Maribel doesn't want to let him know at least not until he returns from his trip. Maribel and Luisita leave. Clara annouces to Doña Gisela that she has things to do but we never find out what those things are or why we should even care.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #59 Fri 11/13/15 (Mex 85-86) Gianna's Illness provides Fiorella an Escape from Hell Resort AND Free Both from The Dragon's Lair!
Ciao, il mio bella gente! Andiamo, eh! Tonight is all about getting Fiorella and Gianna back to El Rancho Angeles, along with a few other developments. To summarize:
Freddie snoops in Pedro's office, finds documents related to the swindle of Maximo's brother and Freddie's Father, Gabriel Angeles. She is convinced, therefore, that Pedro is not only fully aware of the swindle, but an accomplice! Dante vigorously disagrees with her but Freddie is convinced Granny brought him up to speed and now he's covering for her. Freddie vows that Pedro and any other Angeles involved MUST PAY!
Assvaldo and Sonia meet with Fabio in a restaurant to recruit him to join with them in their "bring down Pedro" scheme. He doesn't even need to fully hear them out and asks them if the whole thing is a joke or if the conversation is being recorded. Fabio flatly refuses: he WILL NOT be involved in sinking Pedro nor allying himself with the likes of them! Fabio looks like he wants to laugh right in their faces and doesn't look the least bit intimidated when they threaten to tell his wife and send some of the "hundreds" of damning photos of him and Sonia to his wife. We'll have to find out how this one turned out later!

Antes muerta que Lichita #39 Friday 11/13/15.... Alicia is a hit with the board members.... and makes an impression when she presents her work to the Oki Oki owner... Roberto shows more jealousy, ALex shows more concern
The guy from the board that Alicia just saved from choking says a toast for Alicia … Roberto and Alex take notice… Of course Luciana whines and rants about all the attention Alicia is getting when she got a piece of bread thrown at her chest… Augusto whispers to Alex that this is a significant moment…
Magos and Ximena converse about whether Ximena liked the ‘guero’
Alicia and the board member guy dance… Another board guy comes and wants to dance with Alicia as well. He talks to Alicia about her desire to continue and expand her advertising career… he agrees that the API is very related to that… another board guy comes and wants to dance with her as well. They all have a different subject to do small talk with her… Roberto still taking notice from a few feet away… The guy talks about Alicia’s drive to grow her career… Roberto finally has had enough passive attention and comes and cuts off the other guy to dance with Alicia… he is a bit sarcastic in his comment about all the attention Alicia has got.
Luciana and Chuchette comment on Alicia’s dancing and dressing skills… they say even though she looks fine, she can’t dance or behave elegantly.
Alicia and Roberto still dancing but arguing… basically he is jealous and she is trying to defend herself. He is trying to control his impulse to kiss her… she rants ‘don’t you dare’. She notes to him that he once was behaving totally the opposite with her.
Augusto sits with Bea, they also have noticed Alicia’s attention by all the board members. Augusto gives her a bit of a speech about the ‘image’ they should present to everyone… then they ‘fake’ embracing for everyone and the press flashes all over.
Now it is Luciana dancing with Roberto… of course she likes the attention from the photo flashes… He wants to hear more about Alex’ accident… she won’t say anything beyond what he knows.
Alicia and Alex are dancing too… she is afraid that when the ‘fake engagement’ ends, they will end up labeled as liars…
At the office Braulio and Brisa are talking… she gives him two months worth of rent money. He says he is surprised at her remembering the rent and her accuracy.
Back to the party… The board leader is giving the press a speech. Alex takes center spot and asks Alicia to join him. HE gives a speech about advertising 101… and the challenges facing them…. Suddenly something is going on… everyone is eewwing and awwwwing… Alicia suddenly looks down and gets freaked… Bea brings her a coat to cover up… (?? Not sure, my guess is someone spilled something on her and made her like she had an ‘accident’)
Back to the office… Brisa says that with her rent payment, she has the right to claim half of the space… he feels deceived…

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #58 Thu 11/12/15 (Mex 84) Parallel lines ... who meet, side by side, by side.*
I've been trapped in a massage cabin at the Suspension of Reality Spa and Resort. What? No, don't send help! Just send room service.
Alas, the massage cabins have neither cable nor Internet, so I do not have a recap prepared for you.
When last I saw sneaky two shoes, she was hopping on the back of an ATV with a mysterious stranger. As they drove away she called back to me "I don't know if I'll be back in time to recaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...." So we're just going to have to play it by ear.
In the meantime, grab a frozen drink with a little umbrella in it (assuming Benito hasn't drunk them all) and discuss away!

Weekend Discussion: Crimes of Fashion, 2nd Edition
It
is my information from colleagues (including the late Richard
Blackwell) that fashion felonies are the cocktail enjoyed prior to
the aperitif of society peccadilloes and the entrée
of scandal and murder. It is always satisfying to know that the
moneyed classes are as human – or inhuman – as anyone else in
their roles in their own downfalls. To this end, the paparazzi at
Vanidades have provided me with these sometimes hilarious and
otherwise frightening examples of questionable taste. My colleague,
fashion critic Soledad Romero-Vargas, provides the captions.
Enjoy
and provide your comments. And please, if you have any excellent
candids for a future edition send me an e-mail with the files
attached. I do protect my sources. – D.D.

Pasión y Poder #8, November 12, 2015: The End of a Very Long Dry Spell
What kind of a hotel is this anyway?
As Regina is stripping down and looking forward to a nice relaxing shower, David emerges from the bathroom wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. The two stare at each other in disbelief.
 |
| Honey, you've got a spider the size of a Buick in your bathroom! |
"What are you doing here in my room?"
"In your room? This is my room!"
David scrambles for his key card and the towel drops. Regina shrieks. "Cover yourself!"
David says there's no contest – the room is his because he was there first. Regina thinks David is not behaving like a gentlemen. While she struggles back into her dress, he picks up the phone and calls the desk. "Something very strange has happened..."

Antes Muerta que Lichita #38 Thursday 11/12/15: The Episode Where Alicia has a Really Really Good Day.
Scenes are condensed and likely out of order.
We left off with Roberto trapped under Don Augusto desk while Luciana throws a fit with her Tio.
Luciana whines like a teenager not getting her way. She wants to have drive the company car, wants Alex as a BF and the best position at Iconika. Most of all she wants the pest, Lichita, fired! Don Augusto surprisingly tolerates Luciana's tantrums. Alicia and Alex will remain an item even through he does not approve of her because it is convenient for him and Alex's image. Don Augusto admits his respect for Luciana's need for power and control. She truly is his blood which loses meaning on Luciana. She does not get why she Alex cannot see her as a contender...I mean look at her...really look! Don Augusto repeats that Alex will never fall in love with a WOMAN......(pin drops)...other than Alicia Gutierrez, so give it up and get out.
Alex drops in on Alicia's parents during their 15 minutes of fame with the Cara's reporter. He wants them to know he is very serious about the relationship with their extraordinary daughter. Nacho gives Alex the third degree until Alicia drags Alex outside. She wants to know why he is trying to prolong their false relationship. Alex is not ready to confess the truth to his family yet. Alicia feels bad for lying to her family. He reminds her that she should take advantage of their false relationship. She needs this to continue in order to keep her current position at Iconika. Alicia eventually concedes.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 88 Thu 11/12/15: Chelo for President!
Orlando fairly bursts into Josefa’s place, accusing her of
using Isela’s keys to let thieves into his shop. They hurl some insults back
and forth, specifically about knowing one’s mother, before Isela breaks it up.
She claims she took the keys with her to Claudio’s office. In the next breath,
she says Claudio had nothing to do with the robbery so unless Orlando’s going to
bring charges against her, he should just leave. He says he's already filed charges, and let the chips fall where they may. After Orlando leaves, Josefa
admits she did it. Isela hopes she gets caught and Josefa first says Isela
would go down with her as an encubridora(=hider, concealer; in the context, as an accessory to the crime), then says Claudio wouldn’t allow it.
Isela just looks at her with a clear disgust and walks away. Josefa doesn’t
know what to make of her attitude shifts at all.

Eladio brings Julia breakfast in bed. He says he learned to cook when he was the food manager at the hotel. He hands her a rose and hopes that she sees how he is changing. He would also like her to accompany him today. Julia can't believe what she is hearing. It's like he's a different person. He says he's the same, he just realized that he has to pay more attention to the details, and he likes the change he's made. Julia is happy (But for how long?).

Antes muerta que Lichita #37 Wednesday 11/11/15
Well, here we go. We start with Alicia telling us that to be unique and authentic one needs to take the risk of making decisions that could change one's life forever. . .
The first real scene is loser Magos with her loser friends Gerry and Paula. She is telling them she really doesn't know who Ximena's father is. At the time she got pregnant she was cheating on her steady El Chanclas with a "Luis somebody" who never called her after the sex. So, she will just tell Magos that her father is El Chanclas. The three losers decide to have some "chelas" (beers).
In the meantime, Alicia is on the phone with her mom telling her she will be working late. Alicia hears that Magos is out with her buds and hopes she does not get into trouble.
Back with the trio of losers: they are pounding back the beers. They talk about being lucky and Gerry brings up how lucky Magos was after vandalizing the car of the supermarket manager and getting away with it. They drink to continued good luck.
The same night, Beatriz is driving Augusto crazy in bed with her overwrought concern that Alex is not home yet. Augusto cannot be bothered: Alex is a full grown man. She has a hunch that something bad has happened to her son. She tells him to go to sleep and she will pray for their son alone.
Alicia gets a phone call at work. The next thing we know is she is getting out of a taxi. A naked Alex trying to hide behind a tree awaits her. It turns out that he got assaulted (he admits it wasn't too bad)( guess they took his clothes) Alicia has brought him clothes from the costume department at work. At least they were decent enough not to take his cell phone. He just wants to go home. He apologizes for calling her but the was nobody else he could call. Alicia promises she will not tell anyone about his misadventure.
