HERIDAS DE AMOR - Monday, 12/11/06
Nuria is wondering if she can climb over a high wall there at the nutty nunnery, in order to escape when one of the nasty nuns forces her to take her pill without any water. “Just use your saliva.” Nuria complains it is choking her, but the nutty nasty nun just laughs at her and leaves. Nuria is one step ahead of this sister of Satan and pulls out the pill from inside her cheeks and pockets it. “I am not crazy and I don’t need this medicine.”
Back at Fernanda’s newly reclaimed manse, people are wondering where Bertha is. Apparently, she hasn’t bothered to come down or to walk the dog. Fernanda is determined to get everyone out of her clutches by finally kicking her out of the house. Fabricio says not before he has his son back, safe and sound. Bertha might do anything to that baby. He and Florencia then ask Charo if Nuria ever confided in anybody and possibly this might let them know where she could likely have gone. Charo says Louis Alberto or Santiago are the only two she ever spoke of. So Fabricio eventually calls LA to ask him to meet him to give him any information about Nuria. LA says he’ll call back with a place and a time. Afterward, Florencia tells her husband that she wants only to see her child returned before she dies. She says that she knows her end is close because every day she can look in the mirror, her eyes are more circled, and she is weaker. At least she has the consolation that Nuria is with Enrique and will not let anything happen to him. Fabricio is having a hard time handling this.
Still nobody has heard from Miranda and the family figures she might have rested over night somewhere along the way. Miranda, on the other hand, is selfishly keeping her whereabouts from them all. (Hiding from Alejandro I can understand, but why hide from her immediate family? This character should wear a sign on her back that says: "Kick me. I deserve it.")
Renata gets a visit from Erica and Veronica and Raul. They compliment Veronica on her talk about AIDS. Vero definitely has her head on straight now. The conversation turns to Juan’s proposition and Renata admits she thinks it is idiotic. Anyway, now the lawyer is in the middle of getting the papers for the divorce put together. If he will not give her one willingly, then she will go to court.
Miranda is getting everything organized at the chocolate plantation ("I am woman, hear me roar"). She still selfishly refuses to let anybody know she is there or when she arrived or anything. Gabino tells her he is a bit worried about Naty’s crazy-lady predictions. He tells her that Naty is sure her father’s dead ghost will come “to reclaim his steps.” He adds that she has predicted Bertha will return there soon and will bring death and dishonor with her. Alone, a bit later, Miranda recalls the night in bed shortly after Alejandro's return from jail when he called her “Liliana”. Again, the painful memory racks her.
At San Llorente Enterprises, or what passes for it now, Alejandro apologizes to Liliana the minute Cesar leaves. He says he’ll take full responsibility for what just happened there. (--Just what does that mean? Besides, Liliana was just as involved in that passionate saliva swap as he was.) Liliana gripes at him for having taken advantage of her. (Not so much from where I sat!) She is upset because Miranda will attack her for wrecking their marriage. (Well, aren’t you?) She also wants to know just why he kissed her. (Wasn’t it obvious, lady? That is your natural-born daughter, isn't it?) He explains that he wanted to know exactly what he feels for her, and that she is an ideal woman that any man would love to have for a wife. (What a stinking load of fresh cow pie!) She asks, “What about you? What about you?” Alejandro, scum bucket that he apparently is, refuses to answer her. He simply says it is only for him to know, but no one else. That is too much for her. She runs out of the room flustered and angry. .--(Weren’t we all about then?) She still needs a job too, we know.
Veronica finds Fabricio and gives him back the money she blackmailed him to get. She apologizes and explains how rotten she was feeling back then. He says he knows that he was just as nasty and in a weak moment tried taking advantage of her as well. He asks her forgiveness.
Miranda is on the phone with one of the neighbors who has sent her an e-mail. She opens the wrong one and it is (ruh-roh!) a ringside seat view of the lascivious lip lock, courtesy of Cesar. She is very impactada and closes herself up in her library for the remainder of the day, refusing either to leave or to eat. Gabino eventually comes in to check on her and becomes worried.
Bertha calls Italy in order to inform her attorney there about there being an heir now to Alfredo Luque’s fortune. She gives him the information about Florencia and Enrique, his first-born grandson.
Florencia assures Fernanda that she knows she’s dying and that she is ready for this. She only wants to see her son return before she dies. She tells her mother that she appreciates what she has done for her. Fernanda says she is sorry, that she tried to get her the transplant, but she was unable to. Florencia says let the heart go to somebody else who needs it more. Bertha sneaks behind the door and listens as they talk. She thinks to herself how she warned Fernanda that she would personally see to her suffering through the pain and suffering of her daughters. Bertha says to herself, “Florencia’s end is the first of a long list of things that will happen to you, Fernanda; and Florencia is dying because I, Bertha, have wanted and caused it to happen.”
Miranda cries out in her heartache that if Naty is right about Gonzalo returning then she says he needs to pick up the pieces of what her life now is.
Carola comes to visit Juan’s family and she and Francisco have a heart to heart about her relationship with Juan. She assures him that they will not be going to sleep together. She is anxious for the divorce though. Francisco asks her what she will do if Juan never gets divorced or if he and Renata reconciles. (Hmm. Hard question. Let her think about that one.)
Raul and Amparo come in. She leaves to help Raul set the table. Amparo and Francisco then discuss Carola and Juan. She says she wants to have a talk with Renata but hasn’t found the opportunity. He says forget it because it will only make things worse.
Renata tells Fernanda that Gabino called to let them know that Miranda is at the plantation house, and in fact arrived there the day before. He is worried because she has not eaten nor come out of the library all day. Fernanda believes she has become depressed with everything that has happened over the past few months. (Do ya’ think so? Miranda should probably be on valium so much has happened. The fact she isn’t must mean she is Superwoman, just like she has always thought she was). Fernanda tells Renata she plans to leave the following day to check on her other daughter. Renata worries about Florencia being left alone. Fernanda says she will have Juan come stay with her and besides she has Fabricio there to help too. Renata hesitates and asks if it might not be better to put her back into the hospital. Fernanda says no, this is better. (We all know Renata is trying to avoid having Juan so uncomfortably close by, and watching every guilty step she takes, but she won’t be able to wriggle out of it apparently.) First, though, Fernanda has to tell Renata: Florencia is very close to the end and knows it now. Renata stares at her mother.
