3/25 Wednesday – Hasta el Fin del Mundo #154 Armando is delusional, Pato is hot, and Fausto is just Fausto



Street near Miguelina's home
Dani drives up just as Miguelina returns with the bread.  Miguelina fills her in on Lucas and Rosa talking about his father.  Blah, blah, blah.....in the end, Dani invites Miguelina out for coffee to allow mother and son more time to talk.

Rosa tells Lucas about his father's dream to become an Olympic boxer, how she fell in love with him, and about his first boxing match.  Lucas is relaxing.

Over coffee, Dani tells Miguelina about her woes with her mom.  Miguelina figures Grrreta won't want her back as the cook.  Dani knows her sisters will support Miguelina and she will definitely stay!  Neta!


Meanwhile, Rosa and Lucas continue discussing his father's boxing exploits.  Lucas still carries one of his father's medals.  She finally leaves.  Lucas doesn't call her mom but he seems happy about learning so much about his dad. 

Rosa meets Miguelina and Dani outside. Miguelina tells her how Dani dumped Oliver for Lucas because they're still so much in lurve.  Yada yada yada

Inside, Dani hugs Lucas and tells him she's so happy he's learning so much about his dad.  Lucas says he was a little uncomfortable at first talking to Rosa but it did get easier.  He gets upset when Dani asks if he feels maybe a little something for Rosa.  Well, he doesn't, and the less said about that the better.   He ends up giving her back his father's medal as an amulet to protect her and bring her good luck. Etc, etc,  smoochies.

Casa de Ripoll
Our Tortolitos return.  They share a kiss and exchange sweet nothings about how wonderful their love is and how they'll never forget this trip, etc, etc

Casa de La Loca y La Drama Queen
Irma returns home to find Aracely sulking on Armie's recliner.  Aracely tells her the visit with her dad was a huge mistake.  She describes how she found him separating family photos so he could give some to Sofia when he never bothered to give her any!  Serpienta Irma starts spewing her poison, “How may times have I told you that damn blonde has usurped you?”  “I hate her more with each day that passes,” says Aracely.  Irma knows only too well Aracely has the means to get even but noooooo, she's too scrupulous. 

Casa Ripoll
Sofia tells Fausto all about her wonderful, romantic weekend that she'll never, ever forget.  Fausto hates to break it to her but everything here at the homestead hasn't been so idyllic. “First, Alexa and Greta broke the tenuous truce (tregua) they had and it resulted in a battle royale!  Greta just can't accept that Alexa's future is in acting.  She's sure Alexa will fail.  But that's not the worst of it.  Dani got it in her head to dump Oliver and renew her relationship with Lucas!  To make matters worse, she brought Lucas with her when she told Greta!”  Sofia's all bug-eyed.  She can't believe it!

Casa de Chava
Lupe greets her son warmly upon his return. She's so happy to see him.  He notices the house seems unusually quiet.  “Well,” Irma begins, “your sister is in her room crying and crying, refusing to eat anything.  I don't know what to do!  I know!  I'm going to share my secret recipe for my panecitos.  That'll bring her around.  I'm going to show her she doesn't need to rely on anyone else.   I want her to forget about Lucas once and for all and set her goals on building a little business.  I bet she'll go for it because Pan de Lupe is Pan de Lupe.”  Doofus Chava thinks it's a great idea but doesn't ask why Marisol should forget about Lucas.  Never mind, he's gonna go talk to his sister, who's sitting in her bed crying her little eyes out.  Waaaaaaah.  Chava runs to console her.  “That lagartona (my translator says this means bitch) took Lucas away from meeeeeeeee.   Waaaaaaah!  She hooked up with him, Chava.  She stole my dreams!”  She sobs on his shoulder.  Aw, young heartbreak.  It's so painful.

Casa de Ripoll
Meanwhile, on the other side of the tracks, Fausto continues with the story, “And then Marisol, Lucas' ex, showed up like an enraged whirlwind (torbellino enfurecido) and jumped on Daniela, without even noticing Oliver was present who, by way, found out through Marisol in the cruelest way about Dani's unfaithfulness (cornamenta).  Poor Oliver, he was always so nice to Dani.”  In response to Sofia's question, he doesn't know why Dani decided to take this most unfortunate step.  What he does know is that because of this avalanche of revelations and unfortunate events, Greta became so ill that the doctor was called in.  He was able to control her arrhythmia with an injection.  Dani comes bouncing in, asking Sofia about her romantic escapade.  Sofia would rather know about Dani's romantic escape (fuga).  Dani doesn't mince words and good for her.  She explains she cut off Oliver because she's still in love with Lucas.  Sofia points out that, according to Fausto, it was Marisol and not Dani who blurted it out to Oliver.  Dani explains it didn't turn out quite the way she and Lucas had planned.  They had wanted to break off the relationships with Marisol and Oliver, wait a respectable time and then tell them she and Lucas had reconciled.  Neta.  Sofia scolds her, “Well, unfortunately your impulsiveness ended up hurting two people.”

Casa de Chava
Chava is a good big brother, “Love sometimes fails, Marisol.  But it's best to know where you stand instead of living for something that really isn't there.  Lucas is not the man for you.  He disrespected you and didn't love you as you deserved to be loved.”  Marisol is so heartbroken, “My heart is broken in pieces (cachitos) Chava.”  He tries to console her, telling her these wounds will heal and in time she may not even feel them.  But in the meantime, she has to move forward.  Marisol doesn't see how.  How can she heal her wounds when she'll have to see them every day at the plant? What if his mere presence causes her to think about all the time they made a fool of her?  Chava thinks maybe this is a good time for a change.  She can finish her studies and pursue a career.  As for the money she borrowed, Chava thinks it would just be a question of returning it.  “It's not that easy, Chava.  My health insurance is helping with Dad's medical bills.”  She won't consider letting Chava taking on all the responsibilities as he always has.  She doesn't think it would be fair.  Chava just wants her to make the right decision and to realize someone will come into her life who will know her value and treat her right. 

Casa Ripoll
Sofia understands that when one falls in love, one doesn't notice race, religion, or economic situation.  What bothers her is that Dani doesn't consider the consequences and puts their mother at risk.  Fausto hates to interrupt but why should today be any different?  He suggests Dani tell Sofia about the, ahem, alleged watch theft.  Sofia wonders what other surprises Dani has in store for her.  Dani reluctantly tells her about the alleged watch theft and how Geronimo accused Lucas when Miguelina still worked for the Peraltas.  Why do I get the feeling I've typed these words before?  Never mind........  Sofia can't believe this.  Dani doesn't believe it either because Lucas told her Geronimo probably made up the whole story to break up the Ollie/Lucas bromance.  Sofia finds it difficult to believe Geronimo would stoop so low.   He seems like such a gentleman.  Dani repeats that Gerry didn't like the friendship between his son and the lowlife Lucas.  Greta has no idea about the time Lucas was arrested for snatching Sofia's purse.  Sofia figures Greta would only hate him more if she found out.  Dani begs her not to tell Greta.  Lucas has changed. Sofia agrees Lucas has a pristine record as an employee of Ripoll.  Sofia agrees to support Dani's relationship with Lucas even though she doesn't like how everything came about.  Jinkies!  Dani's overjoyed.

Casa de Chava
Chava rejoins his mother after leaving Marisol's room.  He explains she's still reeling over the breakup.  Lupe knows how much Marisol adored Lucas.  She's gonna give that ungrateful boy a piece of her mind.  Chava tells her to stay there with Marisol and see if she can get her to eat anything.  Lupe pointedly asks where he's going.  He tells her he's gonna take care of something that can't wait.  Lupe looks mighty worried.

Casa Ripoll – Greta’s Boudoir, enter at your own risk!
Sofia walks in and Greta sarcastically welcomes her back from her adventure.  Sofia asks how she feels.  “As well as one disillusion after another can leave you,” Greta responds.  Sofia understands from speaking to Fausto and Dani that Greta had a bad day yesterday.  Greta doesn't find that surprising, considering all her daughters provoke her with their craziness.  Sofia tries to reason with her, “Alexa has the right to pursue the career of her choosing, and Dani to be with the man she chooses.”  Greta states Lucas is a thief.  Well, Sofia's not going to argue with her.  She just wants Greta to respect their decisions.  If she doesn't, she could end up alone. 

Casa de Miguelina
Lucas answers the door only to see Chava storm in.  “You've disappointed me!  Why did you cheat on my sister?”  Lucas understands Chava's anger, “Neta.  I betrayed Marisol's trust and that of your family.”  “I trusted you!” fumes Chava. “I asked you to take care of her.  I even asked you if you were sure you were over your feelings for Dani!”  “I was, or at least I thought I was,” says Lucas, “I tried to stop loving Dani, I really did, but I couldn't.”  Chava fumes, “Well, why didn't you at least tell Marisol before you broke her heart?”  “I can't even face you,” responds Lucas, “You've been a good friend.  You helped me when I needed it.  Marisol was really good to me.  She was the best novia.  But me, I'm a dirty ingrate.”  Chava tells him in no uncertain terms their friendship is over.  All the esteem (aprecio) he felt for Lucas is in the trash.  He'd better not think about showing his face at Casa Chava, and he'd better not even think of seeing Marisol.  Neta

Miguelina heard everything from her room and comes out after Chava leaves.  “hoo-boy, that guy was really pithed (encanijado)”  “And why not, Abue? I acted like a jerk with his sister, who is almost like a daughter to him.”  (ooooh, is this a hint? Naaaaah, right?)

Casa Ripoll
Greta complains to Fausto that Sofia is only defending her sisters because she's guilty of the same type of madness!  Living that absurd adventure with Chava!  Fausto calmly explains Sofia is only going where her heart leads her.  “And if I were you, I'd follow Sofia's advice before you lose your daughter and they all leave this house.”  Greta claims she just wants her daughters to avoid a life of misfortune (desdicha).  Fausto says they'll only suffer if she ends up in the hospital.  He counsels her to listen to Sofia and allow her daughters to live their life as they please.       

Neighborhood
Armie and Nandito come across Chava on their way home to Irma.  Chava's surprised to learn Nandito spent the whole weekend with Armie.  He's even more surprised Irma was ok with that.  A lot can happen over a weekend. 

Casa Ripoll
Alexa pleads with Sofia she needs to pursue her career and will eventually have to defend her relationship with Armie.  Sofia will support her but counsels she should proceed cautiously due to their mother's health.  She's concerned the doctor had to change Greta's medication yet again.  That's why they need to really think how they can avoid any conflicts with her before taking any actions.  Alexa agrees and already discussed the same with Dani

Casa de La Loca and La Drama Queen
Armie walks in to deliver Nandito home.  Chava follows them in and barely acknowledges Aracely's presence.  Irma makes it a point to ask Chava how he enjoyed his trip to the beach.  Armie swears he didn't say anything.  The men make a hasty retreat.  Aracely regrets having mentioned the beach trip to Irma.  Irma apologizes but says she thought it was assumed everyone knew about it.

Outside,  Chava describes the beach trip to Armie.  He's happy that Armie was able to spend the weekend with his son but surprised at Irma's behavior.  Armie doesn't know what's up either but doesn't agree with Chava when he says Irma may be thinking of reconciliation.  He'd prefer to look at it as though Irma has realized that with the separation and custodial fight, she understands there's no turning back.  Dream on, sucker.  Chava tells him how Lucas dumped his sister for Dani and how he told him he's persona non grata at Casa Chava.  Armie's glad to hear Chava set him straight.  Chava asks how Armie's love life is going.  He knows by Armie's reaction it must not be going well.  Armie tells him about the photo with Paolo and how he was so jealous he had to call Alexa.  He couldn't help himself.  Alexa assured him there was nothing between her and Paolo.  Chava tells him that should be sufficient to calm the Green Eyed Monster.  But Armie's very worried their separation will end up with Alexa falling in love with Paolo, who really has a lot to offer her. 

Centro de los Desterrados
Silvana is enjoying her time with her bro.  Unfortunately he can't stay longer because this is when he needs to be most “attentive” to Greta's health.  She understands and hopes she can see him next weekend then.  He mentions he thinks Fausto may be falling in love with him.  Silvana sees that as a good thing.  Fausto will then continue to be supportive.  They laugh and they kiss each other on the cheek and exchange compliments.  Ruh-roh, Pato has just appeared behind a plant!  EEK!  He sees Christian kissing her hand and he is not happy.

Pato is best served hot and angry!  “So! You've found yourself a young lover!”

Silvana is so happy to see him she either didn't hear what he said or she's just ignoring it.  “I'm so stupid, a dreamer!” says Pato.  “I should have known.  You've found a replacement.  How long have you been sleeping with him?  Answer me!”  That does it, Christian throws down his napkin and the two men go at it, but it ends up being just a scuffle with Silvana caught in the middle trying to stop it.  They  square off and Pato leaves but not before wishing Silvana an enjoyable vacation.  Silvana chases after him of course.  He tells her to leave him alone. “Why do you call me?  Why do you insist on seeing me if you've already got another man?”  Silvana swears she doesn't have a lover and that's when she confesses that Iker is her brother!  Pato is muy impactado.

Casa de Chava
Sofia comes by to talk to Chava about Dani/Lucas.  She certainly hopes this won't influence Marisol's work at the plant and wants to talk to her. 

Sofia apologizes to Marisol on Dani's behalf.  “Why are you apologizing?  It's not your fault your sister is such treacherous cusca (flirt/tart/hooker/whore, take your pick).”  Lupe is aghast at Marisol's behavior and Chava asks her to tone it down, Sofia's come to talk to her in good faith.  “I appreciate you and your family very much,” begins Sofia, “That's why I don't want this situation to affect our relationship or your position at the plant.  I imagine it will be difficult for you to come across Lucas and Dani at work, so I'll ask Dani to keep her distance.  I certainly hope you're not planning on leaving?”  Marisol responds that she had considered that, yes.  Sofia asks her to reconsider and not let this affect her future.  She advises her to think of herself before thinking of them, DaniLuc.  Lupe chimes in, asking why should she give them the satisfaction of leaving her job?  Actually, Lupe thinks Dani and Lucas should be the ones to leave.  Chava reminds her that Dani is one of the owners.  Sofia figures she also can't fire Lucas because of this.  Marisol can see the reason in both Sofia's and Lupe's opinions.  She won't resign.  Smiles all around but Chava looks worried.   

Casa de La Loca y La Drama Queen
Aracely sits alone as she thoughtbubbles conversations.  We hear snippets of Chava so happy he's back with Sofia; Irma urging her to get even with that güera; Paco telling her Sofia is her sister; Chava telling Armie about his romantic weekend with Sofia.  The last voice she hears is Irma telling her to fight for what's rightfully hers.  Aracely talks to herself, saying, “Irma's right.  I'd be stupid not to make Sofia pay for everything she's done to me!”

Casa de Chava
Marisol goes back to her room after Sofia says she understands and thanks her for staying on at her job.  Lupe says Marisol is so depressed (achicopalada).  She blames it on her hormones.  You know how it is with kids her age, they feel everything more intensely.  Sofia understands and agrees this situation isn't easy for anyone.  Well, Chava is on his way to visit his dad and Sofia agrees to go with him before he takes her home.  He pets her like a well trained cat. 

Centro de los Desterrados
Pato is shocked.  Silvana had never told him she had a brother.  Between the two of them,  Christian and Silvana explain they were separated a long time while he was in rehab for drug addiction and it isn't a pleasant subject to discuss.  Pato had thought there were no secrets between them.  (another pot/kettle situation)  Silvana and Iker explain he didn't want anyone to know they were related so as to avoid harming her.  She had recommended him as a nurse to the Ripolls since he had some nursing knowledge and he needed a job.  “Iker” senses Pato doesn't believe him and offers to show him identification, which causes a whiplash response from Silvana.  Pato says that won't be necessary.  She tells him Iker knows how much she loves him and how much she misses him and that's why Iker came to visit her.  Iker offers to leave since Pato is there now and he can really make her happy.  Iker assumes Pato won't say anything of this to the Ripolls.  It could cause him his job.  Pato could care less.  He has no reason to get involved.  After Iker leaves, Pato is still confused.  He doesn't understand how she never mentioned it to her.  Silvana explains they were orphaned at a young age and she was responsible for her brother and getting him through rehab.  It's a part of her life she never wanted anyone to know about.  What's important now is that he's here and couldn't resist coming to see her.  He needs her as much as she needs him.  Smoochies.

They continue in her room, telling each other how much they've wanted this.  They begin what I imagine will be a hot, steamy, wallpaper peeling, passionate evening.

Casa Ripoll
Greta has a sit down with Dani.  She realizes that Dani is almost of age and Greta will no longer have a say in her relationship with the cook's grandson.  But, as part owner, Dani should at the very least conduct herself with utmost modesty (recato) and decency.  Unlike Chava and Sofia, who can often be seen snogging in the hallways of the plant.  Greta also asks Dani to follow Sofia's example and not bring someone to the house that she doesn't approve of.  It is plain to see that Dani is holding back and agrees to everything but says she would not bring Lucas around and expose him to Greta's ofences.   

Hospital – oh dear
Yup, he's still alive.  Chava tells Javier that he's a good candidate for a liver transplant.  He's been put on the list.  Chava plans on checking to see if he can be a donor.  Doc says it can be risky and they'll need to do a lot of tests first.  Javier doesn't want Chava to take the risk after everything he did to them.  Everyone's crying.  Blah, blah, blah

Penthouse de Perdición
As we see Silvana and Pato making love, Geronimo is on his rooftop angrily talking to Urrutia (bank guy) about Sofia's proposal.  Bank analysts are still, well, analyzing.  Geronimo wants Urrutia to make sure everything comes out the way he wants to and it doesn't matter at what cost. 

Back to Silvana and Pato – Silvana is confident that if they're careful, they can continue to see each other without anyone finding out.  Pato's not so sure. He doesn't want to get killed. Silvana insists and Pato insists it's not a good idea.

Hospital – oh dear, oh dear me
Sofia is worried about what could happen to Chava.  She thinks it is a noble gesture but she's worried.  Chava says, “First things first.  Let's find out if I even qualify as a donor and then we'll go from there.  Besides, they're not going to touch my heart. That will stay intact and keep on loving you.”

Well, that’s it for tonight, kids.  Man, I was hoping to see more of Dulliver’s makeover.

Avances
Aracely finally confronts Sofia and warns her to get her lawyers ready.

Thanks for the very enjoyable recap, Paquita!

So Chava as a possible liver donor plot line has finally reared its ugly head. Hope that goes no where. I am just sick of the Javier plot line.

Poor Fausto.

Loved your: "Centro de los Desterrados."

Jarifa
 

Jarifa: Marisol is going to do something drastic in getting even somehow!

Lucas banned from the Cruz household: NOT surprised at all!

I've noticed they introduced Lupe #2: when did this happen? Big question is whether Lupe & Paco get married?

Alexa going into an acting career: what's next HOLLYWOOD ?

How long are we're going to suffer Irma's reign of terror? The anvil needs to be very BIG!

Dani caving into not allowing Lucas in the Ripoli household wasn't surprising either.

Javier needs to DIE!
 

Steve, sure agree about Javier.

Jarifa
 

Lupe #2? When?
 

always a delight Paquita.

yea, Pato and Silvana back, Sofia and Salvador can go.

Just shocked Salvador may have placed himself in jeopardy, offering some of his innards, no outlaw, no.

Please call me Araceli, let's take them to the cleaners, but first, do not broadcast your intentions.

I liked the Rosa y Lucas chat.

 

"Offering some of his innards": great choice of words, tofie.

I had thought that the Blogger God had finally found favor with me but no, it isn't the case. Yesterday I commented on Perdone Dios, Sombra and here at Hasta El Fin. I had liked what Bryan wrote and told him so. I also has some kind words for our recapper Paquita Plus I wrote a few other things but can't remember them now. I had some shopping to do so I shut down and when I got back home I came back to read all of the late comments. DAMN!!! The Blogger God had struck again, my comment that had first appeared on the blog was now gone. What more can I do but try again today.
I have my fingers crossed.
 

Paquita, another fantastic recap. Terrific title.

So detailed and your embedded vocabulary was a treat. "Why do I get the feeling I've typed these words before? Never mind........" and "Pato is best served hot and angry!" were among my many favorites.

Repercussions against Dani (but primarily Lucas) are beginning. It's too bad the way things went down but no one is smiling on this romance except Rosa...I think Oliver may become a danger to the couple.

I have to say I really enjoyed the Rosa/Lucas scene. Something about mothers and children having a heart to heart always melts my heart. I'm not comfortable with what Rosa did, but I've never been in her shoes, so who am I to judge.

Has Sil REALLY forgotten being terrorized and threatened with death on the beach?? Pato is so not worth that risk.

Diana
 

A wonderful and full recap with nothing at all left out. Fantastico Paquita.

I guess that the lawsuit over the stolen recipes starts tonight.

Will Dulliver go over to the dark side? It looks like he will.

Can't wait to see how Marisol reacts on her first day back at work. I hope that it doesn't get nasty. I for one do not want to see Dani and Marisol fighting again.

With a lawsuit about to start and
Dulliver working at Chocolates Ripoll with a possible urge to get even, we may not be seeing blue sky's for a while.
the gringo



 

Thanks, Paquita. Fantastic snarkilicious recap and I always love vocab. My favorites:

Pato is best served hot and angry!“

He [Chava] pets her like a well trained cat.

But, as part owner, Dani should at the very least conduct herself with utmost modesty (recato) and decency. Unlike Chava and Sofia, who can often be seen snogging in the hallways of the plant.

My favorite scene by a landslide: Pato looking incensed, jealous, and insecure spying Silvana with a younger man. I could replay that scene a zillion times. He was smoking! Will he ever admit he’s in love with Silvana? Will Silvana find out about the abortion and his new bedmate on the side?

I’ve been ignoring the Javier and Aracely storylines, but it seems pivotal stuff is happening and I’ll have to pay attention. Thankfully Matías and Yovet’s storyline has nothing to do with the rest of the show and I can continue zoning out on them.
 

Niecie and susanlynn, looks like next week for our Eduardo Yanez!

Not impressed with the previews and his mustache has got to go but...I'm still in. Big time!

Diana - Squee!!! I will most definitely be there.
 

OK you win douche bag. I will sacrifice one if my disposable email addresses and BOMB your flippin inbox with robo mails. Happy Brave Spell Caster ? Ooooo maybe report you to the Google Gods too ?
 

Thanks so much, Paquita. A treat to read as always. :)

Kirby- Don't feed the troll. Hoepfully, Paquita or the Blog Mom will see it and erase it.

I don't know if I felt it was appropriate for Chava to get all up on Lucas like that and declare their friendship dead. I know his sister's feelings got hurt, but Chava himself went after an engaged Sofia because he believed in LOVE. He loved Sofia, Sofia loved him, therefore there was no room in the equation for Pato. Well, guess what? Marisol is the odd (wo)man out. Love won out.
 

Yes!! I was so annoyed with Chava. What he did was worse cause Sofia was engaged and had been dating Patricio for much longer than Lucas was dating Marisol.
 

We had a discussion at our house about Chava's confrontation with Lucas.

My heart was broken when I was about 19? 20? I would've really appreciated if one of my brothers had confronted that jerk. We had dated for awhile and were engaged when he broke it off. I was devastated so I can empathize with Marisol. Having her brother stick up for her like that not only sends a clear message to Lucas that Marisol is not alone, it also shows Marisol how far he'd go to protect her. Chava didn't beat him up and that's good cuz violence doesn't solve anything. But I thought his reaction was appropriate. Don't mess with my sister.

So, one of my brothers watched with me last night and felt that Chava's reaction was none of his business and that sparked a discussion on teen love, etc. etc.
 

Hell have no fury than a Peralta scorned!
 

Loopy 2.0
 

Vivi ITA about Chava vs Lucas. Chava was totally out of line. Of all people ...Chava? I hope this comes back and bites him where he sits.
 

I do not fault Chava for talking to Lucas , I DO fault him for storming in angry and saying things he probably already wishes he had back. There is a nurturing way to handle almost everything, Chava found none of those . A man to man "I'm with a Ripoll too" could have gone a long way.
 

Thankfully his Dad does not need a BRAIN transplant. "Sorry Pop, just don't have any to spare."
