Off the top of my head:
-Gina meets Pepa/Fina face to face after over 24 years, in the same park Regina Jr. was stolen from. She ditches her body guards along the way. Pepa/Fina mocks her and basically threatens to kill her daughter if Gina doesn't give her the money and keep her mouth shut. She gives Gina Berta’s ‘R’ necklace as proof of life.
-Soto meets with Matias and tells him he created a super duper secret clause in the marriage contract that will allow Matias to get out of his marriage with Berta, ASAP. Happy, happy, joy, joy. He's still fired though.
-Honorio tells Gonzo about Blanca's call. They inform the cops.
-Chema visits Adri at the office and asks if the reason she is hesitant about him is because of his past involvement with her step-mom and how her dad would feel. Matias secretly listens in as she agrees that is part of the reason. He leaves before she mentions the biggest source of hesitation are her feelings for Matias.
-Nata and Jero reenact their very first meeting by running into, and falling on top of, each other at the bank. She thanks him for convincing the bank to change their mind about the loans to the MRs. She asks why he did it. He fudges and says he did it for her dad and for Matias, to make up for ruining their friendship by falling in love with Nata. They are interrupted before Nata can get the real truth out of him. They stare at each other wistfully.
-At the office, Honorio and Matias inform Nata that the money must have come from Jero's personal account, and NOT the bank. Matias is sure that Jero did it to hold it over their heads. He tries to convince Nata of this.
-Adri thinks Jero gave them the loans because he obviously loves Nata. Nata tries to convince herself that Jero must have had bad intentions, because if she doesn't make herself think badly of him or remember all the bad things he has done to her, she will never stop loving him. Nata calls Jero to confirm the loan came from him personally and not the bank. He doesn't deny it and hangs up on her when she starts insisting on paying him back and questioning his motives.
-Connie sneaks into Fina's office and takes post-it notes with samples of her handwriting. She also takes a photo of her. She is caught by Berta as she is leaving with these docs in a folder. Connie says she came for docs her brother wanted. Berta makes a stink, but can't stop her. Connie later gives the post-its to Jero.
-Berta tells Fina about Connie's visit. They look through the desk, but the only thing she notices is missing is the photo.
-Fina confronts Connie in her home. Connie does not let on about the handwriting/Rafa murder suspicions. But she lets Fina know she took the photo to show Gina to prove she is Pepa-- the woman who stole her daughter, who Connie is sure is Nata.
-Fina smashes a vase against the back of Connie's head, and hits her in the head with a metal statue while she's down. Connie is left looking lifeless in a pool of her blood!

Almost forgot the Wine Country:
-The two couples are happy, happy, and decide on a double wedding.
-I guess Padre doesn't know Alvaro is not dead afterall (I was wrong) because he happily agrees to marry Kari and Laz.
-The stolen mother vine from La Bonita is not doing well. Looks like it has "La Plaga." Augie's vine-sitter is forced to call Cruz de Amor to give the bad news. He gives Zeke a cryptic message to give Augie who is in D.F. and can't leave until he's locked Nata down. Augie tells Zeke to take care of it.
-Zeke finds the vine-sitter, decides the La Bonita super duper Plaga Remedy is the only hope, and tries to find out why this particular shoot is so important. The vine-sitter says he doesn't know, but Zeke is starting to be pretty sure it must be a La Bonita shoot, meaning Augie stole it.

THURSDAY ON TRIBES AND EMPIRES - EPISODE 17 ON JOY PRIME @9: PM

We resume with Shitty Helan bro questioning Jin Ji about his actions in Han prefecture. He admits to having been part of the Muru calvary that 30 years previously wiped out 200,000 men from the 8 clans in Han prefecture. Through this all, HeYe looks shocked and Helan bro twists the knife further by asking if he wants to spend his life with a Muru. He doesn’t answer but rather demands for his wife. TT__TT
200,000.........that sounds like genocide. I was shocked too.
I guess we know why those tribes are so small now.

Helan Bro gets headbutted for his grandstanding but eventually poor Zhu Tai is revealed wrapped in a blanket with Kusu Da. Kusu Da claims they had been together for 4 years even as Jin Ji struggles to go smack those blasphemous words from his mouth. Poor girl just screams. My heart.
Everything about this is revolting. Also because it's such an obvious LIE. But the dishonor is real. 
I was so angry I felt like ...you know when your throat closes up and you just see red?  I wanted to rip them apart with my bare hands.  I felt her screams in my soul.

HeYe doesn’t say a word but methodically punches Kusu Da to near death - hate scenes like that - and carries off Zhu Tai without a word but not without giving Helan Sis a hate filled stare. She however says confidently that he will be back and goes off to get him a gift.
A hate filled stare only makes her hot. PUNISH the witch. 
I want him to END HER.

Jin Ji tries to say that it must be Helan sis that planned Zhu Tai’s rape but HeYe shouts at him to keep quiet. Zhu Tai asks brokenly if he believes her and he says yes. She asks if things will be the same and he says yes and yet he flinches as she tries to touch his face.
This couple hasn't had time to build any trust between them (since they've met 5 days ago and got married 5 days ago too)...so sad.
Well, I never could buy HIS love for her being so sudden.  Her - sure, she got struck by a lightning bolt.  Him, it was more gratitude and appreciation I felt.  But to see her this way, to know that she would not be in this situation if she never met him, or if he didn't accept her.  Imagine his guilt and rage.  I know there are men, too, who cannot bring themselves to desire the woman they love if she has been 'defiled' in this way, but I really don't want this to be the case with him.  Let it be that his guilt makes him shy away from her touch.

She calls for a stop and tells her dad to give them some privacy. She talks about what would have been a beautiful future with the two of them and their kids and talks about how it’s a pity.  She knows it's over, whatever future they had.  Not so much because she was raped, but because of WHY. She says if he stands by Helan sis side he will have what he wishes for and although he says he already has her by his side, she says she is content. She tells him she will give him a present but that he has to promise to always remember her how she used to be. He says yes, she then hugs him fiercely, takes his dagger and kills herself.
He seemed numb, but I believed him. He wanted to do the "right" thing by her, but he needed some time. He wanted to forget and go back to his quiet life with her, as if nothing had happened. He did it all wrong though. When he flinched, she made up her mind. She felt like she was a burden, a broken, used thing, not worthy of him.
I don't think he would ever be able to look at her without pity or guilt, and I don't think she could live with that.

At a burial, HeYe tells a broken Jin Ji that he will be back to kill him in 3 day after reiterating his vows to burn Tian Qi city to the ground. In the night, he goes back to the site and discovers that Jin Ji was dead and had been eaten by wolves.
Would he truly have killed him? I don't think so.
He would have stayed with her, but killed her father?  How would that have worked?  He does have this 'anything for the cause' mentality but...would he have let Dad live as repayment for getting the daughter killed? Maybe.

HeYe goes back to the Helan clan and asks to stay with the clan and help Helan Bro become King of the prefecture. He kneels and vows to show his obedience and Helan bro after grandstanding accepts him into the clan.
Oh WOW. This...this was so uncomfortable to watch. He Ye crawling like that. Please tell me this is all part of his revenge plan?! Or has he gone crazy?!
I could not believe what I was seeing.  He better be planning to kill them at some point and this is just to get them off their guard.

Helan sis comes back, her gift was the iron axe his dad had buried when they were younger. Helan bro grabs at it and HeYe asks him if he wants it but he reluctantly hands it back. Wielding the axe, he walks outside where it’s suddenly gone stormy and all the clan kneel to Lord PandaR. Helan Bro definitely looks churlish at the scene.
Yup, Helan Bro. You're just a stepping stone. Meet the man who will be King. 
Fuck you AND your sister, Bro.  You're going down.

The next day an expedition led which includes a grown Sa Tan (Shaman) (on a leash), Helan Bro, HeYe amongst others goes in search to the forbidden forest for the Danyao - the magic wielding clan.
Oh. That sounds exciting (and it was - some of my favorite episodes coming up)

CommentsMy Heart! I am Angry with everyone in this episode. And while my rage is mostly white-hot towards the disgusting Helan siblings, I have some things to pick with HeYe as well. WTF did he flinch from that poor girl?? Why?? You know what, part of me believes he is happy to be free from her- he definitely knew she was going to kill herself. So, so sad.
Did he know? I'm not sure. From his reactions, it seemed to me he was under shock. He wasn't thinking straight. I didn't think he knew she would kill herself. At least not in a way that would have enabled him to stop her.
I don't think he set out carrying her thinking that's how it would end, but I think when she started talking he knew where it was going and gave her the dignity of choosing her own way. And that flinch could have been as much about him and whether he deserved her love as anything else.

I am far behind so I definitely hope he has plans to avenge her death and fuck up the Helan siblings. Only way I will be appeased. I know his relationship with Helan bro can’t be smooth, the brother is already jealous of him.
Oh me TOO. Waiting for these animals to be smacked down so hard. 
Please let it be painful and slow and humiliating.

THURSDAY ON MY AMAZING BOYFRIEND - EPISODE 15 ON JOY PRIME @ 6: AM

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE



As high-valued items are being auctioned one by one, Jing Zhi grows more and more nervous. Ling Qiao seemingly enjoying her discomfort doesn’t help. Haha! The moment of truth arrived and we learn that Jing Zhi’s item to be auctioned is her hand-drawn picture of a loofah. Haha! Now I understand why her Dad was overly against the idea of having it auctioned. As expected, people laugh at her.

Luckily, with Ling Qiao’s clever manipulations, someone actually bought the drawing for 800,000. Hmm, not bad for a loofah. Haha! Jing Zhi is exceedingly glad she was saved from the ultimate embarrassment. Of course, Xuan Xuan is happy for her.

It’s time for Ling Qiao to throw up, so he subtly excuses herself. While he’s gone, Shi Guang invites Jing Zhi for a dance which she gladly grants. However, on the way to the dance floor, a waiter accidentally spills wine on Jing Zhi’s dress, so she goes to the CR to clean up. Unknowingly, someone locks the door from the outside and smoke suddenly fills the room. After, Jing Zhi fell unconscious, someone picks her up.

Ling Qiao throws up at the parking lot. He overhears some guy having trouble getting her sick daughter home because of the car blocking the way, so, he volunteers to help and pushes the car effortlessly. The guy is surprised but Ling Qiao explains that he knows martial arts. Later on, we see someone switching the air freshener of the said car.

Jing Zhi wakes up in a room on fire. She tries to escape but fails. She can only cry for help.

Ling Qiao returns to the party and asks Shi Guang where Jing Zhi is. Shi Guang answers that she went to the CR. Suddenly, Ling Qiao feels pain in his heart, an undeniable sign that Jing Zhi is in danger. He dashes off to find her.

Ling Qiao finds her in the burning storage room. Without wasting time, he kicks down the door. Debris and burning flanks fall in his way but Ling Qiao easily tosses them aside. Jing Zhi is already smiling when he arrived. For a moment, Ling Qiao just stares at her and then leans his forehead against hers. Awww! He then picks her up and brings her to safety. Before he can give her his blood, she stops him in fear of revealing his identity and assures that they can continue ‘kissing’ at the house. Haha! Ling Qiao corrects that it’s not kissing per se but Jing Zhi dismisses his argument with a laugh. Right on cue, security personnel come to their rescue. She reminds him to tell the investigators that she escaped on her own and he only met her at the door.

Some people at the party learn of the fire. Shi Guang notices them panicking and immediately runs towards the parking area. Something’s really not right with Shi Guang. Why the parking lot?

A guy wearing a mask gets inside the car that Ling Qiao pushed a while ago and drives off. Shi Guang sees the guy and engages on a car chase with him. Remember that someone changed the air freshener in the car, neh? Well, it turns out that it has some chemicals that put people to sleep. So, the guy faints while driving and hits a pile of sacks and boxes. A few seconds later, the car exploded.

At the hospital, Jing Zhi whines that Xuan Xuan doesn’t appear really worried for her as she’s only busy painting her nails. She further warns that press people may take a picture of Xuan Xuan and it’ll create another rumor. However, Xuan Xuan brags that she’s an expert in avoiding paparazzi. Ling Qiao, who is reading a newspaper, laughs and shows them a picture of Xuan Xuan in a crying mess. So much for avoiding the paparazzi. Haha!

Shi Guang comes by to offer his apologies. He takes full responsibility for what happened since the incident occurred during the charity banquet. Jing Zhi assures that she’s fine and takes off the bandage on her head, saying Ling Qiao only put it there for fun. However, Ling Qiao sharply warns Shi Guang not to come near Jing Zhi again.

Meanwhile at the police station, Crystal and Squid (yeah, weird name) talks about Jing Zhi and her unusual attraction to danger. Both officers are Yan Zi’s subordinates. Anyways, Crystal remarks that Jing Zhi, being constantly in harm’s way, makes perfect sense. She further recalls that Jing Zhi’s luck is so terrible that even if she’s standing in a 100 acre grass land, a pigeon will find its way and poop on her head every time. Haha!

Right then, Yan Zi storms in. He’s mad at Squid for not informing him of Jing Zhi’s recent mishap and talks with the Chief to cancel his leave. The Chief surprisingly grants Yan Zi’s request, telling him to do what he wants and not leave with regrets.

Jing Zhi has been released from the hospital and is now busy checking her online fan base. She’s appalled upon knowing that her fans are slowly withdrawing their membership. Jing Zhi voices out her annoyance a little louder than needed so Ling Qiao, who is freshly out of shower, hears her rants. Seeing him half-naked, Jing Zhi is put into a trance. Haha! Ling Qiao  flicks his finger just to get her out of it. Haha!

To cover her embarrassment, Jing Zhi asks him why he wants her to avoid Shi Guang. He answers that it’s to protect Shi Guang of course. This clearly annoys Jing Zhi, noting that the reason why Ling Qiao has no girlfriend is because he doesn’t know how to treat women nicely. But since she can’t concentrate while staring at his topless body, she instructs him not to expose himself in front of her anymore because she can’t resist his charm and if he continues to do so, she won’t be able to control herself and make a move on him. The door suddenly rings and Ling Qiao tells her that it’s the police. Jing Zhi panics and defends that she haven’t assaulted him yet. Haha! Ling Qiao chuckles and walks off.

It turns out to be Yan Zi. He shows her a picture of the suspected arsonist. However, Jing Zhi can’t confirm if it’s really the guy. Yan Zi then offers a small smile and asks if she’s still mad at him for putting a tracker on the car. He explains that it wasn’t his intention to follow her, he was just worried for her safety. Jing Zhi then wonders why he rejected her when it’s apparent that he still cares for her. Yan Zi falls silent and just in time, he receives a call that the suspect’s address has been found out. Ling Qiao who is hiding in his room overhears the phone conversation.

Yan Zi and his gang go to the arsonist’s house and find clues that the arsonist is in fact a contract killer set to kill Jing Zhi.

Next, we see Professor Li celebrating over a glass of wine. He is holding a test result showing 99.9% DNA compatibility. Through flashback we see that the DNA belonged to Ling Qiao. The professor gets a hold of Ling Qiao’s DNA when the latter left his wine glass and dashed to find Jing Zhi.

Ling Qiao goes to the shoot to pick up Jing Zhi. It’s obvious that Jing Zhi is in high spirits. Ling Qiao asks why she’s so calm and collected after the incident and she replies that it’s because he guaranteed to save her every time she’s in danger. Suddenly, he changes his mind and walks away, leaving the confused Jing Zhi behind.

Ling Qiao goes to the shore to talk with his imaginary friend again. There he vows to find the enemy and leave Jing Zhi for good, noting that the only reason why he finds it difficult to say goodbye is because her blood is in his system. Her possessiveness is consuming him and he must stay away from her.

At home, Jing Zhi is happily sniffing the fresh laundry when she slips right into Ling Qiao’s lap. He tells her to get off but she scoots closer and calls him a human sofa. She then offers two choices, either to push her away or hug her closer. Ling Qiao chooses the first option. He forcefully shoves her away and then leaves. In result, she falls to the floor with a nasty scratch.

Ye Chen tends to Jing Zhi’s wounds. He then comments that Yan Zhi will be able to relax because she always escapes unscathed in every major accident she’s in. Jing Zhi is rather surprised that he has grown close to Yan Zhi lately. Ye Chen explains that it’s only because they were teaming up to look for the corpse. She then probes if there are any updates on the corpse. Ye Chen replies that it’s already impossible to find it and that she should be more worried about Yan Zi. She finds it odd though that he always brings up Yan Zi in the conversation when she’s not Yan Zi’s girlfriend anymore. Ye Chen hints that some men say the opposite of what they truly want to say especially if he’s hiding something. And at times, he will push her away just to prevent her from getting hurt. In Ye Chen’s mind, he’s doing this for Yan Zi’s sake. However, Jing Zhi thinks he’s referring to Ling Qiao.

Jing Zhi arrives home and excitedly greets Ling Qiao. But he only gives her a cold shoulder. She follows him to his room and sharply asks if he didn’t notice that she was wounded when he pushed her that morning. Ling Qiao brushes her off with a simple “it will heal”. She continues her tirade and tells him that it still hurts. Ling Qiao bites back that pain is good for her because it will remind her to be careful. He noticed that she has been living quite rashly, even joking about the fire incident. He suggests that she hires bodyguards and brings Dong Dong along wherever she goes. Jing Zhi finds his suggestions useless because he’s there for her. But sadly, Ling Qiao reminds that he will be leaving soon.

Next scene. Ling Qiao is preparing the kids for their taekwondo class when a stranger covered in an over-sized coat walks in. The stranger is revealed to be Jing Zhi and she’s there to challenge Ling Qiao to a duel. This is her way of proving that she doesn’t need bodyguards or even him to protect herself, vowing that she’ll cause him severe pain if he will hold back.
