Caray, Caray!

• I don't much like any of these people - it will make recapping easier.
  
  
• In my opinion the first "barrier to love" is this fat old guy with the big black eyebrow.
  
  
• Maite's father's name was José, he met Maite's mother Eloisa at a fair.
  
  
• Griselda (Maite's aunt, with whom she used to live before she got married) is an old friend of Remedios. Remedios has just admitted to Griselda that the rumors are true: Remedios was Pedro's lover (Pedro being the evil Jacinta's dead husband) and Pedro was the father of her son Federico.
  
  
• Maite is a good cook and maybe runs a merendero (outdoor bar).
  
  
• Due to being poisoned every day by Jacinta, Maite is dizzy and therefore afraid to hold her daughter.
  
  
• Nicolas is the father of Chantal; Eloise (Maite's mother) was his first love.
  
  
• There has been a long, tiresome power struggle about whether this baby is to be named Valeria (after Jacinta's dead husband's mother) or Eloisa (after Maite's mother). I've only watched the show once and I'm already bored with this thread.
  
  
• Federico to his mother Remedios: "You always say my father was a saint and that he died in an accident." He figures out his dad had "another family" and that's why he didn't marry Remedios.
  
  
• Maite is trying to believe her husband, Adolfo, is changing - he raped her, got her pregnant, and then forced her to marry him by blackmailing her true love Unibrow, but now he's acting sort of sweet.
  
  
• Jacinta: "My whole life has been dedicated to others." "It's I who decide what goes on in this house."
  
  
• Somewhere else, Unibrow is about to take on a chipper, sexy young pet store owner as an assistant. Her name is Nuria - or maybe, according to the subtitles, Nutria. (A nutria is "an aquatic South American rodent resembling a small beaver") I can't believe she's going to fall for him.
  
  
• Magdalena, who I guess is "good," sneaks a baby present to Maite. Maite invites her to come in but Adolfo's awful mother Jacinta runs her off. Later, Maite's husband Adolfo explains: Magdalena used to be his girlfriend, but his awful mother broke them up - and whatever she said to Magdalena's father caused him to throw Magdalena out on the street, and so she became a hooker.
  
  
• Unibrow's sons nag him shrilly: "Why didn't you marry Mayte?" "Grownup's business."
  
  
• We see Jacinta poison Maite's special herbal tea. If it were me, I'd stop taking that tea - she immediately gets sicker every time she drinks it!
  
  
• At the moment Maite believes her mother-in-law is nice, and thanks her many times. Jacinta: "That's good, cause I don't like ungrateful people"
  
  
• If you like to read the esmas summaries, we're up to around the 18th of november...
