HERIDAS DE AMOR - Monday, 9/11/06

As Juan leaves Florencia tucked in bed he backs into the hallway and backs into Renata. They stare at each other and she grabs and begins kissing Juan passionately. When they stop he tells her she’d better be careful not to be toying with him. She’s playing with fire. She says he’s a doctor and will treat her burns for her. He laughs but then warns her he’s not going to allow her to use him as entertainment for her friends’ pleasure. She is very direct and says he should understand what she’s going to say: she decides when and where anything happens, so if he values his teeth as they are, don’t even dare to touch her. He caresses her hair and says he is giving her a friendly warning to be ware next time.

Juan leaves and she jumps onto her sister’s bed to say, “What do you think now? As if you didn’t see it all.” Florencia asks what she intending to do with him, and then she begs Renata to be kind to him since he’s treated her so well. Renata says not to worry, she’s only trying to knock the conceited “King of the Barrio” down a peg or two. Then she tells Florencia that Bertha went to Stuttgart and Duseldorf in Germany but neither of them can figure out why.

Miranda warns Pamela that Luciano has got to be the owner of the reserved stock but Pamela thinks he could just have a similar name. Miranda says it’s not likely and that he probably has gotten close to her because she’s Miranda’s friend. So, he’s obviously only trying to get information about her and the business from Pamela. Miranda figures Pamela could use this relationship to get information about him also. Pamela swears she’d tell him what for if Luciano would ever try prying information from her about Miranda so not to ask her to treat him that way. Just then Cesar calls Miranda and asks her over to his apartment since he has something extremely important to discuss with her about her parents.

Gonzalo knocks at Fernanda’s apartment door and tells Fernanda he’s there to demand she leave the country. He asks her what she plans to do now that Miranda knows the truth about her. Fernanda refuses and she asks him what her daughter has said to him. He says she hides nothing and he only has to lift a single finger and Miranda would end up despising her forever. Fernanda answers she’s not going anywhere; if he forces things she’ll tell Miranda how he killed her supposed lover. She’s staying right where she is and she’s going to get her daughters back. He responds and says “How much money do you want in order to leave?” She asks him instead how much he’s going to pay her for the house he’s living in, or doesn’t he remember that it does belong to her!

Alejandro visits Francisco’s house and finds out that Raul was the thief that Lizania had fallen for and wanted to date. Francisco and Amparo are even more upset and embarrassed at this revelation. Raul apologizes saying he'd never put two and two together. He then explains that he took the easy road never realizing that he would become involved in this type of lifestyle. He thought he’d do it to keep Juan from crossing the border like a wetback to look for work. In the end he says he plans on turning the gang into the police, but Francisco yells that surely then they’ll come and kill the entire family. Raul though says he’s got a plan all figured out and Alejandro and he discuss this as Ale assures them all he won’t leave them out on a limb.

Fernanda is exasperated and complains to Gonzalo that he has no reason to complain and judge her now that she knows he and Bertha were lovers not only before but after they were married. He claims he doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She replies that she wonders if he’s conveniently forgotten how he cheated on her with Bertha right under her nose all that time. She tells him she knows what happened that night long ago: he and Bertha planned together to get rid of her and to keep the girls and whatever belonged to her. He wonders if she has gone crazy or something.

Miranda is overflowing with gratefulness to Cesar for helping out her dad. She is on the couch asking him how he ever managed to pay such a high sum to get him out of jail. He lies and giving her his third story how he managed this great and burdensome feat: by taking his entire life savings, because his padrino’s freedom meant so much to him. He says Gonzalo’s threatened him and explains in such an oily, pitiful tone and expression how he offered to go to the police with Gonzalo but got only a slap and insults in return. He continues that it pains him to tell her some painful truths about her father, but she needs to know these things. Cesar ends up telling her how Gonzalo murdered her mother’s lover long ago and ran off Fernanda afterward, making her life a living hell up to and including the present. She thinks back to her argument with Alejandro about his keeping the truth from her and treating her like a child. Cesar then shows her the eviction notice for the elder care hospital he had with him the night he found her with Alejandro; and then he concludes by explaining that Benjamin Cohen was even asked by Gonzalo to fire Fernanda recently, but the medical director refused. Miranda finally calls up Dr. Cohen and confirms this for herself.

Gonzalo says he's not giving Fernanda any explanations, but regarding Bertha, it never meant a thing. Of course his wife asks why then did you bother????? He leaves Fernanda’s place and Alejandro knocks at the door. The two start to chat when Gonzalo returns and she begs Alejandro to hide though he feels it’s time they confront Gonzalo together. Alejandro gives in, though, and hides. Gonzalo tells Fernanda that when she tells Miranda the truth about owning the mansion, then she can move back into her house and he leaves.

Miranda eventually faints from all this shocking news concerning her parents’ past. While she’s temporarily passed out Cesar tells her that now she finally is to be his. He starts fingering her face and puts his lips all over her cheek and forehead. She wakes up and he comforts her in her depressed state, rubbing her shoulders and hugging her. She asks him to drive her home since she doesn't think she can safely do it. He talks her into staying the night in his guest room. She figures it's too late to call the house and tell Tomasa so she'll leave early the next morning. She forgets her cell on his coffee table when he shows her where the room is.

Renata asks Florencia if her sister really meant what she said to Fabricio about being in love with Alejandro. Florencia backs off a bit and says she really meant a woman could definitely fall in love with a man like him and qualities like his. Fabricio shows up at that point and Renata leaves. Fabricio tries to make peace with Florencia and tell her how hard it’s been trying to deal with her and the baby in this situation. He says they have so little time left together. She snaps at him again that SHE is the one who is dying, not him. To shock and hurt him even more she blurts out she thinks she’s in love with another man and it’s Alejandro Luque.

At Fernanda’s, Alejandro listens to more of the story. He was shocked to overhear that the mansion really belongs to Miranda and not Gonzalo. Apparently, her father-in-law gave the mansion to her as a wedding gift. He considered her more worthy a person than Bertha and even told her so once. Then Fernanda mentions again how worried she is that all the girls will hate her for never being honest about Florencia’s real father. Alejandro asks her if Gonzalo would have stayed with her and she says nobody knows what he could have been capable of doing at that point. So Alejandro tries to comfort her and suggests that she did the right thing in not telling him since Miranada and Renata being born were the result of that decision. After all she bore the only woman in the world that Alejandro ever has truly loved. She shouldn’t worry about Miranda anyway, because her daughter is much smarter than one gives her credit for being. Sooner or later she’ll find out what type of person her father is and Gonzalo will be the worse for it. As for Gonzalo, he’s only acting out with the desperation of a drowning man so not to worry about him now.

Renata catches up with Juan again in the patio. They chat on the lounger about his family and Renata mentions the similarities of their upbringing with two siblings and no mother. When Juan presses her for some history of her mother Renata snaps back that her mother is as good as dead and buried as far as she’s concerned. Juan stares back considering this response.

Luciano and Alejandro are sitting drinking a couple of beers at a bar somewhere. Alejandro is griping about Cesar having even paid the bail for Gonzalo, cynically only to score points with Miranda for sure. He’s also angry at Gonzalo for the way he’s continuing to abuse Fernanda. He yells at Luciano that he wants San Llorente Enterprizes put out of business, period. Of course Luciano agrees to the strategy. Then Luciano recounts how he forgot to mention that time at the golf club when Cesar explained he’d planned to buy the reserved stock in order to give it to Miranda for a wedding present when he marries her. Cesar has had it all figured out for a while and it would seem he’d accomplished it all, too. Alejandro doesn’t quite understand. So Luciano gives his friend some advice and suggests that Cesar is a nice looking man and a decent match, as well as younger, and he has known Miranda all her life. So, he warns Alejandro, "Do not to leave the door open for Cesar with Miranda by continually arguing with her." Alejandro gets agitated at the thought of this all coming to pass.

Good work! Lord, they never stop talking in your show. In comparison, in Barrera I can take notes for an entire show on just two small-sized pieces of paper.

I hope the upcoming "Mundo de Fieras" is not so talky.
 

I think Al should just let Cesar have Miranda. It's a big world filled with lots of mujeres...move on , Al. Susanlynn
 

Great recap! Lots of conversation going on.

I know Renata doesn't deserve Juan but when they are alone she is much nicer than her usual squealing, spoiled self.
