HERIDAS DE AMOR - Monday, 9/4/06

Fernanda comes home early from work and is beside herself because she realizes that Bertha has managed to poison her daughters’ minds against her. Amparo comes into the living room and Fernanda complains to her that Bertha has everything her way now and her daughters are filled with hate for her. Amparo tells her to pray that their hearts might be softened and implores Fernanda not to just give up. She has come too far at this point to let Bertha win. Fernanda though is obsessing and goes to her room letting all the horrible things she remembers of that night run through her mind.

At the prison El Magnate is saying goodbye to his cellmates and asks them to make sure they protect El Duque (Gonzalo) till he is freed soon. He’ll be by to visit them soon. El Ermitaño (The Hermit) comes to say goodbye also and warns El Magnate to forget this place exists and never to let anybody on the outside know his true identity. El magnate assures him he will not let anybody really know who he is. Then Gonzalo arrives at the end to say so long and El Magnate reminds him that once he does get out of there and if he should encounter his wife again to remember not just what he feels she did to him but also what it was he did to her as well.

Gonzalo stands there afterward and remembers all that happened immediately after the shooting when Fernanda fell unconscious onto the floor: Gonzalo turns to Bertha asking what’re they going to do now? Bertha says she’ll handle everything, but for now they need to do something with Fernanda. He says, “You don’t mean to kill her, right?” “No! I wasn’t the one who cheated and stained my bed with your lust and damnation! –How could she have done this to you? She had everything ready to go off with him and how come we didn’t realize it? She made a fool out of you and trampled on your feelings. You can’t let her get away with this!” Gonzalo tells her that he received numerous anonymous warnings this might happen, but he disregarded it all thinking it was just from some envious person.

Bertha goes for the pistol, wipes it off with her scarf and then puts Fernanda’s hand all over it for prints. “What are you doing?” “Saving you from jail; saving your daughters and your family’s name.” Gonzalo says a single test would show she’d never shot the thing. So Bertha suggests emphatically that he run her off by threatening her life and that of their daughters. “Dont’ give her a choice. Tell her to leave or you’ll report her to the police. She can leave or spend the rest of her life in jail!”

Alejandro arrives at Amparo’s house looking for Fernanda and Amparo tells him how agitated she’s become. Since she only pays attention to him he needs to help her out.

Fernanda is running the events of that night through her head. She remembers coming to and seeing a “dead” Alfredo on the floor with Gonzalo sitting at the table beyond. She remembers him threatening her life and later, that of her daughters if she didn’t leave right then. He forces her to leave without taking her daughters or she’ll spend the rest of her life in jail.

Alejandro enters the room right then and she turns and screams, “Alfredo! It’s all your fault this happened! I hate you!” while Alejandro takes the blows. He is confused and he shakes her to the present and asks why she referred to him as his father and what made her say she hated him. What happened?

Fernanda explains how she tried to tell his father that she didn’t love him anymore and wouldn’t leave with him. She should never have left her daughters there and now she deserves all that’s happening to her. Alfredo wonders what reason Alfredo had to think she would go with him at all, let alone come looking for her.

Cesar is bragging to Luis Alberto that Gonzalo is going to learn that he now is the one who pulls all the strings.

Miranda arrives back at the hacienda and asks Gabino if Bertha in fact was the one to upset the workers with the story about not raising their salaries. His wife comes in just at that moment and lies to her for him, saying Bertha didn’t say anything to the workers. Miranda goes to the workers’ wives and tells them she’s not able to meet their demands so anybody who wants can pick up and go. Some of the women do stay and offer their help with the cocoa harvest.

Julio’s sons go to Rebeca’s house to take their father home. The younger one, Angel, wants to just let his father live out the remaining years at Rebeca’s side rather than force Julio to be kept in an asylum. Daniel says no because he remembers how his mom used to cry all the time because of their dad’s being with Rebeca. Anyway, how could he be really sick since a man who just had a heart attack doesn’t go out shopping like the maid just told them he’d been doing. Julio refuses to go with his sons and they fight. He slaps the older one who eventually just leaves disgusted but Angel hugs his dad and goes off.

Ramon arrives at Amparo’s to explain his intentions towards her to Francisco. He says that neither are so young they need his permission, so he’s doing it as a courtesy and because Amparo had asked him to. Francisco gets nasty and Ramon says it doesn't matter, essentially. Then he talks to Amparo and tells her she’s been nothing but a free housekeeper and nanny service to her brother all these years. She needs to ask her brother nothing because she owes him nothing.

Fernanda explains to Alejandro that she really could never hate his dad, but he did provoke what happened that night. Bertha and Gonzalo, they determine, are the only ones who really know what happened; but why had Alfredo thought he should go looking for Fernanda, particularly there, at their hacienda? Bertha also, they figure, is the only one who could have let him in that night, but they don’t know what she might have gotten out of it and Alfredo never mentioned anything relevant about her to his son. Fernanda says who knows what Bertha’s story is since she always mixes the truth with lies in order to confuse people. Alejandro remarks that Daira said exactly the same about Bertha. Alejandro wonders what Fernanda is still hiding from him.

Lizania and Raul argue about not telling Florencia or Miranda about the affair Veronica and Fabricio are having. She goes off and Erica joins Raul and says those two are the same when it comes to premarital sex. Lizania, Erica tells Raul, has admitted she had sex already and only because she felt like it, not because she loved the guy. She though is one who wants only to go to bed with a guy for love. Raul is disappointed about Lizania and begins to look at Erica with new eyes.

Fabricio and Florencia are arguing over Veronica. She accuses him of fooling around with Veronica the other day, but he denies it. Florencia demands he stay clear of Veronica now, as well as Miranda and Fabricio is fit to be tied. Veronica is listening to it all from behind a tree and chuckling to herself when Juan walks up behind her and catches her in a lie about her eavesdropping. He warns her he’s Florencia'
s doctor and he’ll kick her off the property if she causes Florencia any health problems. He leaves and Renata asks Veronica what all that was about. She lies and says he said he misses his girlfriend. She answers she’s going to make sure he ends up crazy for her and rushes off to find him.

Renata finds Juan and she makes a false apology for her behavior when he returned the wallet. Will he forgive her? When he refuses to respond she grabs him and kisses him; then she asks if she’s better at kissing or his girlfriend. He teases her and says his girlfriend is better and she stomps off.

Miranda asks Tomasa to tell her the truth about her mother. Tomasa says Fernanda was beyond reproach. Miranda says if she were so wonderful she’d be there with them now. What is everybody hiding from her and her sisters that would be so dangerous to find out? She is sick of all the half-truths and is losing her trust in Tomasa. Fabricio shows up then and Tomasa leaves.

Miranda thanks him for all the financial and moral support. He takes her into his arms and asks if she’s still in love with him. He tells her everything with Florencia aparently was a mistake and he was blind to it all because of Bertha’s doings. Then he kisses Miranda briefly and she breaks it off, telling him what they had was something she did because of habit. It was definitely affection. He was there with his smiles and good nature, but that was all. She now realizes he was not the man of her dreams. He asks her if Alejandro is the one who robbed her from him.

Bertha goes over to visit Rebeca and to look for Cesar. Rebeca is hoping Cesar doesn’t find Julio is staying there, but Bertha says “Put your foot down, afterall it’s your house! She also makes a reference to “which sons......the legitimate ones or --?” She will never tell her sons the truth! Rebeca says if people knew she’d be considered a whore, a streetwalker. Rebeca says that she can understand and admire Fernanda for having suffered so long and still having kept quiet. Bertha asks her what she means and she lets slip “about Florencia not being Gonzalo’s child!” It’s obvious that Bertha was caught by surprise and as she leaves she thinks to herself that its definitely one more reason she’ll victimize Fernanda and her daughters.

Julio comes downstairs and defends Fernanda’s honor. Bertha yells at him for having told her that Bertha and Gonzalo were lovers after Gonzalo married her. He says Fernanda deserved to know and not to suffer any further. Nobody, especially Gonzalo, he tells them must find out about Florencia. Bertha then accuses him of protecting Fernanda because of being another one of many in love with Fernanda and leaves.


Rebeca is upset and jealous now, but Julio assures her that he deceived his wife for years because he loved Rebeca so much. Therefore, she shouldn’t listen to Bertha because she has a way of wrapping around and wrapping around her victim and then suddenly when they cannot move any longer she goes in for the final blow. Bertha anyway is no one to talk and adds, certainly they are not samples of moral rectitude, and definitely not.
Gonzalo!


Fabricio wants an answer from Miranda still. He suggests they get back together again, on the sly. She is shocked to hear this from him. He swears then he’ll regain her love one way or another. She breaks free of him and runs away in horror and confusion.

Excellent recap Jardinera. I read through the recaps and comments from last week. I believe that Ramon is the private detective originally hired by Gonzalo to find out what Fernanda was up to and now he doing Cesar's dirty work. Presumably, his 'romance' with Amparo is a sham to get information about Fernanda. Of course, love may bloom and rehabilitate him.
This novela is rather a disappointment. Like someone said, I don't know if I can take 4+ months of Miranda and Al breaking up and making up over and over... The good guys who *know* that Bertha is evil but nevertheless let her manipulate them over and over...
 

Aha! This business about Fernanda's fingerprints on the pistol is new info, isn't it? Wonderful recap, much better than the program.

Jean, your theory about Roman/Ramon or whatever-his-name-is makes absolute sense. You are very good at these predictions.

I hate Fabricio.
 

Thanks again for the great recap. They ARE better than the show! I also started liking the novela, but like Jean said, it has gotten soooo tiring to watch, so I watch when I have time and then read the recaps. I have to keep up because my sister and mom like to discuss it with me! I am also sick and tired of how everyone can't figure out Bertha. Does anybody work in this show or do they all just swim at the pool all day long???
 

I haven't decided whether Ramon is genuinely attracted to Amparo and will get bitten on the backside because of his P.I. assignment, or if he's truly leading Amparo along. Seems you could befriend the family without seriously dating Amparo and still get the info about Dr. Fernanda.

I was truly bored by the novela, too, till Bertha's story and evil deeds started to unfold. Then, it caught me and I like it so much better than something like La Madrastra,which I watched only to keep my hand/ear in..... ;?))

Well, we are dealing with the "idle rich" and some might suggest "idyllic rich", though I think that is an oxymoron, on the other hand can we say "Ideal-ic rich"?????
