It’s not strange that a heartbroken lover asks for five more minutes. It’s a sad scene, usually with its share of tears and humiliation. Five more minutes, please, a last chance to explain and ask for forgiveness. And that’s the only thing that Mexican diva, Gloria Trevi, is going to concede.

In this episode of Muñeca Brava, we strongly recommend that you don’t trust anyone. Milena pays a visit to Luisa ignoring the weird doctor-patient relationship that they had. Then Martita tries to snitch on Milagros, ignoring the fact that she also has her own share of dirty laundry. And there’re so many love triangles that it’s starting to look like a geometry class.

At top of the Mexican Rock’s pyramid is Café Tacuba. Since their breakthrough Re (1994), they have reshaped themselves countless times. Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega, their lead singer, has a thing for changing his name. He even puts Diddy to shame! Through the years, he has been known as “Juan,” “Pinche Juan,” “Cosme,” “Masiosare,” “Anónimo,” “Nrü,” “Amparo Tonto Medardo In Lak’ech,” “At Medardo ILK,” “G3,” “Gallo Gasss,” “Élfego Buendía,” “Rita Cantalagua,” “Sizu Yantra,” “Ixaya Mazatzin Tleyótl,” “Ixxi Xoo,” and “Cone Cahuitl.” Enough for an identity crisis!

El Patito Feo is one of those tales told a thousand times that still amazes us. It’s Milagros’s time to go from Cenicienta to princess. We love when telenovelas read like fairy tales!

Our top reporter stops by Peru’s capital and catches a ride with Ulises, a taxi driver/tourist guide/cop with a thorough knowledge of the city and a great willingness to share it. Ulises takes us to the Rimac area of Lima. Rimac means que habla (“that could speak”) in Quechua, a telling name for this telling ride!
