HERIDAS DE AMOR - Monday, 10/02/06
Cesar invites Miranda to the movies, but she says she and Alejandro have agreed to meet a bit later on so she isn’t really able. Alejandro is supposed to call her to discuss their plans. Cesar so “nobly” and lovingly, lowering his voice and caressing her cheek, suggests that the three of them can all go together as great friends. He coos to her in that aggravating tone of voice , “Lets go enjoy ourselves.” Just at that instant Alejandro arrives and jealously rages, “Let go of her, Cesar!” “Wipe that idiotic smile off your face, too!” Miranda looks perturbed at the both of them, but mainly at Alejandro.
Cesar says he wants to bury the hatchet. Alejandro doesn’t buy it, and so Miranda patiently explains to Alejandro in her best Nurse Fletcher voice that Cesar is a pleasant man and only wants to get along with them now. He should make an effort also. Alejandro asks Cesar just when did he have such a change of heart. Cesar uses his “reasonable man” tone and condescendingly explains that she and he practically grew up together, so even though Alejandro and she might be an item, he can never demand that the both of them, childhood friends, never speak to one another again. They never have been apart from each other, and they never will be. Besides, Miranda has asked him to make peace with Alejandro and he simply is complying. Miranda then speaks to Alejandro in her “reasonable lady” voice and asks, “Couldn’t you make an effort also?” Cesar turns away and he is grinning from ear to ear.
Alejandro is apoplectic now and refuses, like any self-respecting 30-something male would do. Cesar continues in that (infuriatingly) ultra-calm tone telling Miranda (as if Alejandro weren’t even there) that since Alejandro clearly isn’t about to do his part he’ll just go and they’ll forget the whole thing. Alejandro takes Miranda to the side and insists she has to be kidding about this, but Miranda has turned into this priggish school-marm type with rose-colored granny glasses. She stubbornly walks off leaving Alejandro with his jaw hanging down to the ground. Alejandro follows Cesar back to his SUV and pulls up in the porche, gets out, and asks Cesar just what kind of game he’s playing. Cesar says he’s only doing what Miranda has asked and Alejandro better play along, too. Then Alejandro tells him to understand something: Miranda is attracted to him, not to Cesar, because Cesar just doesn’t have that special spark to light Miranda’s fire and so he has a long way to go to ever catch up to Alejandro. Alejandro peels off. Cesar calls up baby-sister Lizania and tells her he needs her so much “tanto, tanto, tanto”, and he wants her to spend the night at his apartment. She says sure thing!
At the church Father Santiago warns Bertha not to even think of killing him because he has proof that she killed Tomasa and it will be given to the proper people if she causes anything bad to happen to him. She can’t hurt him now. Bertha disagrees and threatens him with letting his superiors know about how wealthy he’s gotten with that bank account of his if he doesn’t get Alejandro to stop nosing around about that very same account. He orders her to leave but she smiles like the Cheshire cat and refuses. “Mmmm, not yet, father! I’ve come to make confession!” Santiago is left afterward praying for forgiveness and half-crazy because of all the evil things she’s told him that he now is powerless to tell or warn any of the others about.
Renata cries and swears that if it’s the last thing she ever does she’ll make Veronica pay for what she just did. Well, Veronica is waiting for Bertha when she returns to the mansion and tells her about Renata’s wedding, and all the rest and they have a big laugh about the family she just married into.
Juan returns finally and sees the house is cleaned up, but he still acts angry. He goes into the kitchen and picks up a glass that’s still dirty and throws it into the sink telling Renata that they’re poor but they are not dirty and his family doesn’t drink out of dirty glasses. He tells her that from now on their marriage is just a sham until she tires of it or he gets the will. In front of the others they’ll be the perfect couple, but alone she’s not to say a word to him. He sends her to her room and says he’s not going to join her. Renata cries and walks off. Juan is also crying (and probably wondering what the heck he was thinking when he proposed to her, ‘cause I know I certainly was).
Vicente and Gonzalo determine to get the files on the London trading house Cesar did business with to see what clues might show up, because the files he’s looked through so far are clean. They’re certain something has been masked over and they are going to find it.
Pamela comes to visit Miranda at the city house and tells her that she won’t like what she has to tell her, but Luciano bought Cesar’s ranch, La Quinta, from him. Miranda complains about how jealous a man Alejandro seems to be and she just can’t put up with it. She actually wonders if she provoked the fight that afternoon. (Do ya think?)
Alejandro complains to Daira about Cesar, Miranda, and now Bertha. Daira hopes that at best she has only found the designs and not the other notarized documents. There won’t be anything to inherit if she gets her hands on those. He tells Daira that he’s ready to pay whatever price she asks to get his father’s property back. He’s determined not to let Bertha steal everything of his father’s life work and accumulated wealth . Daira asks Alejandro if he realizes that it’s not money she wants from him but marriage! She asks him if he’s ready to pay that high a price.
Luciano goes to see Alejandro and tells him he is ready to seal the deal for Julio’s shares of stock in the San Llorente Company. Alejandro tells him to put it all in Miranda’s name and that will give her the majority and control of the family business again. He asks Luciano what he thinks really about Pamela and how they’re getting along. Luciano admits he loves her but he also loves the girl he met at Cesar’s the other night. Alejandro laughs and says he doesn’t understand loving more than one woman. He himself is a one-woman man. Luciano apparently doesn’t want any ties. Right then Bertha calls Alejandro to come see her at the mansion.
Fernanda is hoping she’ll find a way to get close to Renata now that she’s married Juan. Carola comes in crying and saying she can’t stand Renata because she’s stolen Juan away from her. Fernanda tries to remind Carola that Juan never gave her any reason to think he’d fall in love with her. She doesn’t care. She’s made up her mind to get a good job, more respectable clothes and to enter college. She wants Fernanda to teach her to be a proper lady and Fernanda agrees and also says she’ll check into any scholarship possibilities for Carola. Carola starts for the door and says once she’s educated and ready to, she’s coming back to fight for Juan’s love and to snatch him away from that girl.
Renata is in the bedroom counting the cash her Tia Bertha gave her and wondering what to spend it on since she forgot to even pack a suitcase with her things. Amparo comes in to offer to cook supper but Renata is cool and says no thanks and wonders where Juan is. Amparo tries to explain he went to the hospital on an emergency and asks her to call her Mama Amparito like the others do, but Renata refuses point blank. Juan comes in and senses they’ve been arguing, but Amparo covers for Renata and she plays along. After Amparo leaves he warns Renata that if she does anything to make Amparo shed a single tear he’ll come down on her like a ton of bricks. Amparo hears this outside their closed door in the hallway and smiles. Inside Renata reminds Juan that her father still doesn’t know she married him, and after all he’s Florencia’s doctor. When is he going to face up to her father about what they’ve gone and done? He agrees to call him from the hospital and ask him to let them come the next day to discuss it all. He leaves saying he doesn’t want a single complaint from her. (Is he supposed to replace the strict father-figure she never had or just a budding male chauvinist? I keep thinking about the old saw “what women will do for love.”)
Gonzalo goes to see Fernanda at her home. He demands to know who Florencia’s real father was, and if it was the man he found her with that night. She tries to explain how frightened she was of losing Gonzalo and admits she had no idea til their honeymoon and that for the first few months she really thought hard about leaving him. Then when she told Gonzalo she was pregnant, he was so happy she couldn’t destroy it all for him. She tells him she left their daughters with the best man to be their father and he earned her respect. He says she made a mockery of him for 6 years after and because of her he has no daughters now. Miranda is her ally, Renata despises him and Florencia is the other man’s daughter. Of course he blames her for everything bad that happened from that night on and stomps out. Fernanda says nothing to this because it’s obvious that she does blame herself somehow.
Miranda orders Bertha to either get rid of the dog or leave herself and take it with her. Bertha refuses and tells her she’s not going to order her around. Then Bertha brings up Miranda’s reconciliation with her mother. She claims Fernanda hasn’t changed and still continues to direct everything as it suits her. Bertha says that her mother has always felt cheated but Fernanda is actually a liar. She deceived everybody. Bertha tells Miranda she has to tell her something that will change her life forever: Florencia isn’t Gonzalo’s daughter. Miranda is shocked and angry and accuses Bertha of lying. Bertha notices Alejandro standing now behind Miranda and thanks him for coming when she called him and gives him a sweet peck on the cheek. He’s frowning. Miranda is disgusted with this scene and the news and walks off angry at both of them.
Alejandro asks Bertha why she would do a thing like that to Miranda, but Bertha just laughs it off and says she’ll get used to the news soon enough and will get over it. Anyway, she asks him who told him about Florencia, was it Fernanda or Alfredo? He ignores this and asks why she sent for him and she says to discuss the portafolio, of course. He's upset and tells her to hurry it up and tell him what she’s asking in return for it. He will pay her any amount she asks. She chuckles again and tries to look sexy. She raises her middle-aged eyebrows along with her glass of brandy and explains: “I don’t want money. I want you!”
Cesar says he wants to bury the hatchet. Alejandro doesn’t buy it, and so Miranda patiently explains to Alejandro in her best Nurse Fletcher voice that Cesar is a pleasant man and only wants to get along with them now.

Jeez, what a bunch of jerks, that's all I can say. And I notice you were up even later than I was! We recappers are a noble lot.
So many bad decisions in one little hour; it makes my head spin. If Juan turns into a pig than I'm going to have to take back all those nice things I said about him!

Good recap. The only pleasure I get from this is watching Renata have a reality check! That and the dog. Thanks for staying up late.
Cesar needs to get a hobby or maybe he nedds some meds. This guy is ultra-horny. Do they still make salt peter? As for Juan, he deserves what he got. They all deserve each other. I hope Mundo is better, but it looks a little weird, too. In the previews , it looked as though one of the actresses bit the lead actor's lip when she was kissing him and drew blood. Ow. Susanlynn
