HERIDAS DE AMOR - Monday, 10/09/06

When Cesar realizes that he has actually sold his hacienda to Alejandro Luque and that Luciano Sartori was nothing more than the intermediary, he becomes enraged. He throws his glass at the wall and breaks it, then starts knocking over vases and ripping up artwork (so-called) on the walls. He walks along the hallway tapping this huge jagged-edged Japanese(?) sword menacingly and then he starts tapping the sword menacingly on the table in front of Alejandro’s naive little sister, Lizania, as she looks on in horror at all of this. (My apologies to Lynyrd Skynyrd, but “Give me three steps, give me three steps, Mister! .....Give me three steps to your door.....and you won’t see me no more!” just kept going through my mind. Now I am convinced Lizania is dense as well as naive and has no sense of self-preservation.) Finally he throws the dagger away. (Shooh!) He yells that her damned brother was just as two-faced as he’d told her he was, and Alejandro enjoys hitting below the belt, and how he’s tricked him into selling off his inheritance, the ranch, the only thing he had left from his father! (Right! “Cry me a river” started playing in my brain; must be the night for golden oldies.) Liz comes over to comfort Cesar saying Alejandro can’t go running over people like that. She’ll make sure Alejandro returns it to him. (Yep, naive and dense.)

Alejandro tells Daira that he’s uneasy about Miranda for some unknown reason. Daira assures him that she’ll be fine with so many people there around her at the hacienda. He decides to wait until the next day to fly over and check up on her. He’ll fly back immediately as long as she’s ok.

Florencia gives her husband the news about Juan and Renata eloping. Later he tells her that he has been asked to submit a design for his company to an international competition and that he might have to travel because of it. She throws a tantrum and tells Fabricio that she refuses to let him go and just abandon her. She refuses to be left abandoned "like Nuria!"


Miranda and Pamela are dragging bags around and raking over the harvested cocoa beans (in the most beautiful peasant outfits and ribboned sandals! Why not sensible shoes and jeans like Gabino?) when Arcadia comes to tell Miranda that part of the crop is infested and has to be destroyed. She sends Gabino off to get pesticides, but the phones are still out and the other plantation owners cannot be gotten a hold of yet.

Florencia apologizes to Fabricio and says she wants him to enter the competition. It was selfish of her to demand anything else. Nuria brings them in breakfast and leaves. (She enjoys cooking.)

Fernanda comes to visit Amparo and to ask Renata over for lunch and some conversation. She is so excited by the thought of finally getting to know her daughter better. Renata appears and Fernanda tells her she came by to say hello, but the other of the two faces of Renata reappears. She starts acting snide and snippy and answers, “Well then, “Hi and Good-bye!” She then gets angry to find that Fernanda already told Florencia about her and Juan getting married when her sister had called earlier asking about Juan’s coming back to help with her therapy. She tells the two of them that she’s been nice for Juan’s sake, but nothing more. She isn’t the least bit interested in those women and she tells Fernanda to for-get-it! Just as abruptly the girl walks out of the apartment and Fernanda begins to cry (talk about your “sainted mother”) on Amparo’s shoulder when Ramon and Francisco come back. Francisco wants to know what just happened.

At the same time Julio and Cesar are discussing strategy and where to open up offices. Julio tells him that he’s been sweetening the pot in order to get the old clients to come over to their new investment house. Cesar wants to make sure none of those clients stick with Gonzalo.

Fernanda apologizes to Francisco and Ramon for the emotional display. They all blame Renata’s behavior on her father. Ramon says the girls need to know what kind of a man their father really is, and he accidentally lets slip that he knows all about how Gonzalo has run her off from each hospital and teaching position she’s had during the years. Fernanda says she doesn't seem to know as much as he does about her past. After Fernanda leaves Francisco demands to know why and how he knows so many things about Fernanda’s personal history. When Ramon decides to tell them both the truth about his job and how much he’s grown to love the family and to feel a part of them, Amparo and Francisco reject Ramon's apology and throw him out. They want nothing more to do with him.

Fernanda visits Santiago at the church and he tells her it is time to tell Gonzalo the whole truth about what happened back then and what led up to that night he ran her off.

Erika and Renata meet Veronica for lunch. They forgive her for the problems she caused over the bet about Juan. Renata says it was a test of her marriage and was glad that it happened. (This novela is chock full of naive and ditzy females!) So then Veronica says she’s going out that day to look for her casket, but before she dies she’s going to make sure everybody pays for what they did to her. Erika asks Veronica to try to think of who could have infected her with AIDS and she whips out a list of every boy at the country club that she’s had sex with (and it is a long one).

Juan is offered an assistantship with Dr. Cohen, his boss. He gets a raise in salary and is also to be teaching an anatomy class at the university.

Alejandro arrives at the cocoa plantation and Miranda is relieved to see him. She graciously (for once) accepts his offer to help with the pesticides and to stick around for her.

Gonzalo is remembering Tomasa’s dying words in his office later that day. Fernanda arrives but he refuses to talk to her. Just then the phone rings and it’s Florencia calling to tell him she missed him and needed to tell him how much she loves him and how great God was to give him to her as her father. The irony of this remark is not lost on Gonazalo. After they hang up, Gonzalo reluctantly agrees to meet Fernanda at her place that evening to discuss things.

Nuria and Florencia are beginning to warm up to each other and so Florencia asks Nuria to tell her about the other side of her father, the business side.

Daira gets hold of Renata on her cell and asks her to come over to chat so she and Erika drop by. They tell Daira that they have no idea who Lizania is hanging out with. They tell her that certainly she couldn’t have a boyfriend so soon since she was so broken hearted over Raul not so long ago. Just then, Lizania arrives and the girls try to get her to open up to them, but she’s too sly. Then Liz mentions something about is it true Juan and she got married. Renata answers, “Yeah, but hey, how did you find out?” (Lizania will have to think fast to give her an answer.)

At the hacienda Florencia informs Fabricio that Rebeca just told her his brother sold “The Manglars”.

That night the workers are singing or playing their guitars and chatting after a long, hard day spraying, picking and burning. Alejandro and Miranda pass through them all and thank them profusely for all their hard work. The two of them sit down and begin to kiss. He does not want to return to Mexico and to be without her. She says once they get back to Mexico in a few days they will immediately get married . Alejandro tells Miranda he is anxious to have her wake up at his side every morning and in fact, he doesn’t want to wait any longer for her to share his bed.

Gonzalo arrives at Fernanda’s. He remarks he can’t believe the miserable situation she is living in. (Sorry? I thought she was doing quite nicely in that middle class neighborhood, thankyou.) He suggests they go out to dinner to discuss things. It makes him nervous to see her waiting on him with coffee. Besides, he wants something stronger to drink than coffee. Fernanda goes back into the kitchen to get something and Renata walks right on in to Fernanda’s place without even knocking. She looks up and sees her father walking towards her. Just as Renata asks him what he’s doing there she faints.

Well-written and entertaining! Thanks!
 

So... does this mean could Renata be pregnant?
 

I'll bet Renata is pregnant. That was my first thought because whenever a woman faints on these stories, she always ends up expecting.
 

Oh help us now if Squeaky's preggers. Flor will be jealous cuz she hates not being the center of attention. Even if Squeaky has something along the lines of a brain tumor Flor will still be jealous for not being the only sick one.

Thanks Jardinera!! (Gimme three steps...good one.)
 

Yes Give Me 3 Steps is a perfect song to play whenever Cesar is seen. Good one!

I liked this episode. It seemed like things were happening and I liked seeing the hacienda at night with all the traditional costumes (that the workers would not be wearing after a hard days work but I digress.) Hearing the music I thought I want to be Miranda walking arm in arm with Alejandro! I want that experience too!

How do you say ''blah blah blah'' in Spanish? Susanlynn, dozing off
 

Susanlynn: perhaps "Ha-blah, Ha-blah, Ha-blah" would work for us?
 

No my guess is the "low blood pressure" she suffered from when she passed out from smoking too much pot. Wasn't that the explanation?
