Destilando Amor - April 10, 2007 when it rains, it pours
* The next morning, Rod is having his coffee at the dining room table. Roman comes in wearing his rain poncho. He reports to Rod about the workers having the day off due to the storm. Rod asks about Gavi - Roman tells him and then leaves.
* Hilario and the guys sit under the fieldworkers shelter talking, Roman joins them - Roman and Hilario convince a reluctant Gavi to sing her mariachi songs - the band starts and she sings "Gaviota" for them.
* Her singing is so loud that Isa hears it and wakes up in her bedroom. Isa walks to the window and looks out through the rainstreaks - Rosalia (?) enters - Isa asks who's singing - Rosa tells her Gavi, the fieldworker, is. Isa asks where Rod is - Rosa says in the dining hall and leaves. Isa wonders what the name of the jimadora is that Rod is rumored to have had the affair with.
* Gavi's singing continues. Isa enters the dining hall and finds Rod there. The phone rings - Isa takes the call and leaves for the hallway to talk. Rod watches and then leaves. In the hallway, Isa asks Fidelia for the name of the jimadora in the rumors.
* Gavi, Hilario and others are at the shelter - Gavi is still singing her mariachi songs. Rod gets soaking wet as he walks toward the shelter - he enters and stands to watch Gavi and the guys.
* Isa gets dressed and is talking with Minnie on the phone. Isa tells Minnie all about the rumors of Rod and his love affair with the fieldworker. Minnie is shocked - Isa is upset and can't stand the fact that her husband had an affair with someone else.
* The guys applaud Gavi when she finishes her song. Rod shouts and they all turn to see him standing there. Rod asks to talk with Gavi in private. The guys return to the tables. Gavi and Rod walk to a quiet corner. Rod needs to explain his side of the story from the past year - about seeing her accident but before he could discover it was her on the pavement, he received the call from his uncle about his parents' deaths and had to return to Mexico, he explains how he heard the rumor about her and her mother dealing with the the photographer and his uncovering her sensual photos at the vacated studio - he was hurt, disillusioned and angry - he explained that he married Isa only to try and forget Gavi and the pain he felt. Gavi is angry and hurt listening to his explanation - he begs her for another chance, for understanding - she is still disillusioned and bitter over his marriage to Isa, the saint - he tries to bribe her with money, house, whatever - she rejects his gifts outright, her love can't be bought and sold, she has her dignity and self-respect. He begs - she tries to leave - he grabs her - she pushes him away and then throws her heartache over her baby's death in his face.
* Isa puts on her make-up and continues to confide in Minnie on the phone.
* Gavi confides her heartache and struggles in London when her baby died and afterwards. Rod sits and listens, with tears in his eyes.
* Isa finds Roman in the kitchen, she asks where Rod is, Roman says he went to the fieldworker shelter. Isa leaves to find him.
* Rod wants to hold Gavi and love her. Gavi's heart has hardened and she's much wiser than before - she won't make the same mistakes again - Rod says "Gaviota" and then kiss. Gavi breaks away and says she went to Europe for love, she returned and found disillusionment - now he's married and until he gets a divorce they can never be together again. She walks away into the rain.
* Isa arrives at the shelter and finds Rod - she asks where the workers are - he says they have the day off - Rod walks to the car in the rain.
* Gavi runs to the cabin - Clara wraps a towel around Gavi inside the cabin. Gavi tells her mom about her conversation with Rod. Gavi recalls her meeting with Benvenutti in Paris and how kind and helpful he was towards her. Gavi says she has no more interest in Rod - Clara is shocked; Gavi says that she and Rod kissed and it meant nothing to her; Clara is sad; Gavi says the kiss was a "good-bye" kiss.
* At the main house, Rod and Isa dry off. Isa leaves for the other room - Rod calls James, he needs to see him, Rod hangs up, has a tequila shot, and thinks of a plan to win back Gavi.
* In Mexico City, Aaron and Minnie are walking downstairs of their condo as Minnie informs Aaron about the rumors of Rod's affair with the fieldworker. Aaron is surprised. Aaron is determined not to let the rumor stop him from winning the inheritance and Minnie assures him that she is on his side. In fact, she went to the doctor and he has given her a clean bill of health - she can get pregnant at any time. Aaron is happy and they kiss.
* Rod and James discuss how he plans to win back Gavi - how to prove that there isn't anything between Rod and Isa, he wants to divorce Isa soon to help prove his devotion to Gavi - he wants to be with Gavi forever.
* Gavi wakes up during the night as her mom sleeps. As Gavi starts to make a loud racket packing her stuff, mom Clara wakes up. Gavi says that she is getting ready to leave the ranch forever.
* The rooster crows - on the sofa, Rod wakes to the sunlight streaming in and hitting his face. Isa is awake and laying in the bed. Rod slowly wanders by the bed, looks over to check on Isa and then leaves the room. Isa is quietly fuming with jealousy.
* Gavi and Clara are carrying their stuff through the agave field. Gavi tells her mom about how Rod offered her money, clothes, a house -- all to make her be his mistress -- and that she had to reject it for her dignity and self-respect. Clara understands and stands by her daughter. Roman finds them in the field and asks where they are going - Gavi says far away. Roman gives them their paychecks. They accept the checks. Roman offers to drive them to town - they decline the offer - they prefer to walk and carry their own things. Gavi and Clara walk down the path, away from Roman.
* Rod goes down to the living room - Isa shouts for him to stop and asks him where he's going - He is leaving to work in the fields - The phone rings - Rod leaves - Isa answers it, it is Fidelia to tell Isa to be careful with Rod's lover, and what else she had uncovered about Gaviota, that she went to Europe to become a call girl.
* Rod meets with Roman in the field - Rod asks where Gavi is - Roman says that she and her mom have left the ranch.
* Isa shouts for Hilario and demands directions to Gavi's house.
* Rod is baffled by why Gavi and Clara left the ranch. As Rod walks towards his truck, Isa appears and is steaming mad. She yells at Rod to tell her what is going on between him and the fieldworker whore - Rod is aghast - Isa says she's his wife and demands an explanation - Rod doesn't have time to talk right now and climbs into his truck and takes off. Isa runs to Roman get some answers.
* Gavi and Clara are in town, they get their stuff ready to board the bus. As Rod arrives in town, yelling and searching for Gavi, Gavi and Clara board the bus and sit in the back - and they hide behind the chicken cages and other luggage to keep from being spotted by Rod. Rod sees Gavi in the window as the bus starts to pull away. Rod runs up to the bus and bangs on the window. The bus stops - Gavi and Clara are frozen in panic - Rod begs the driver to allow him aboard to search for Gavi. Rod boards the bus and looks back and forth at all the seats - Gavi and Clara cover themselves really well with a large blanket and Rod doesn't take the time to look underneath - he can't believe it, he thinks he is mistaken and that he's lost Gavi forever. He gets off the bus, baffled and bewildered. The bus drives away, Gavi and Clara take off the blanket; they cry, hug and Gavi tells her mom that yes, indeed, she still loves Rod.
* Isa is crying to Minnie about her husband blowing her off when she went to confront him about the rumors. Isa is angry and bitter and more determined than ever to get an explanation and to be Rodrigo's wife in more than name only.
* Rod meets with James and Crispin in the town plaza; they discuss Rod's desire to find Gavi and Clara and get them back in his life, he can't live without her. Crispin offers his help and then leaves. James asks what Rod plans to do about his current wife, Isa; Rod says he wants a divorce as soon as possible.
* On the bus, Clara and Gavi discuss Gavi's plan to live in Mexico City.
* Isa is furious and scolds Rod as soon as he walks in the door. Rod tells Isa all about his promise with Gavi to return in one year and marry her. Isa is shocked - Rod continues to explain Gavi left because of his marriage to her - Isa is extremely upset - Rod then demands that he wants a divorce - Isa is furious and says that she will never permit that to happen.

Thanks for your great recap. The action is still moving pretty fast and I'm still enjoying the ride. I feel badly that TWB is morphing into an angry woman. She made a dumb deal in an effort to get married and thinking she could win Rod over to her "charms." (It is amazing - and a necessary plot point - that two people would agree to such ridiculous conditions for marriage.)
Also is Hilario a name that is not of Latin/Spanish origin? I ask because "H" is pronounced. Thanks in advance.
Karen
I am still loving this show it moves fast and I hope it does not drag on now that gavi has left.
On the ? you had about the name Hilario my husband says it is pronounced like AH-LAR-DE-O In Mexico usually. It would be easier to tell you how it is pronounced but I tried to write it for you. The middle part that has the Lar sound would be like taking the name Larry and taking off the y so lar So like alario or alardeo or ahlario I hope you get what I am saying lol
Last nite my husband & I were LOL over the tequila breakfast, those people were seriously drinking copious cupfuls of Tequila and it was breakfast time. Also when Rod was having his conversation with Gavi, I kept saying this guy is so cute..finally I added this like is fourteen and at that my husband busted out laughing.
Well Rod I think you have been married like 4 days...not workin out is it?
Roman's character is quickly becoming my favorite. I love seeing this guy's expressions whenever he sees trouble on the way and how he high-tails it over to Rodrigo to warn him off whenever the Ice (as in Queen) is in hot pursuit. --Tammie that nickname is so perfect!! She is like hot ice that sticks to your skin and is painful when you try to peel it off! Rod is starting to feel it burn about now, too.......
I love the way Roman protects the main characters from each other, and especially that "chip off the old block" goofy grin he gives Hilario now.
Yep, Rod is going to be miserable with TWB, aka Ice. She will probably be showing her true colors now and will be known as the wife from hell! - Becky T
I like Roman, too....I remember him from Salome (my first novela).
LindaT.
But I have faith in spunky Gavi...she will be alright..after all she has her lucky wristwatch, her agave shovels and she can wale out a tune....
And I agree with you that she was only playing nice because she knew she could manipulate Rod into bed. Oh well.
I am also pleased that people know the score at this point in the novela (and in that way it does resemmble Alborada. On a side note did anyone notice on La Fea that one of the men buying Aldo's place was Gasca. He actually looked nice) I hope they can keep this up!!

I saw an album on ebay with music from the telenovlea but that's it.
Is Angelica singing that song for real? Is she supposed to have a good voice? Seems all these telenovela actors are singers!
Now Isabela or TWB that is a different story, she was marrying into a "Will & Grace" situation, I mean come on, even his cousin thought Rod didn't like the ladies, he told her upfront no sex. Besides a couple of volleyball games, she was even invested in the guy...& well Thelma is just BSC.
yes that's angelica's voice in the gaviota song... not bad huh! i think it might be soon to find it onlin, but you can buy the CD off ebay. the song is called "Ay Gaviota".
as for me, i am in love with the 'por amarte' song by pepe aguilar!! i never thought i'd like regional music, but this song makes me feel like i'm living pure love on an hacienda...
beckster i forgot to give you props yesterday for the name you gave to the "in-the-hay" girl...SanWanna....LOL!!! that was the best description of her...
i see the point that most of you are making in regards to isa...yes, she did this to herself by marriying under those circumstances, but hey, when people are in love we do stupid things. she was in love with the man and this was her opportunity to win him over, so she took it thinking she could change him. she probably could not imagine that rod would not succumb to her alluring plastic hair, boobjob and fatless muscles...
Maybe she'll get a job as a trainee nurse.
Incidentally TV5 has English translations of the news at 6pm (EST) as well as many of the movies - several times a week. Neither TV5 nore RAI seems to have closed captioning.
She's so mad because it's probably one of the few times in her life she hasn't gotten what she wanted. Who can resist the plastic hair, boobs, and attitude?

Gavi went to school while she was "laid up" in Londres. She's beautiful,intelligent,assertive,and don't under estimate her because she wasn't born of wealth and worked in the agave field. I can't wait to see her develop as a woman in the work place.
Rodrigo is not a give-up kinda guy..He will find Gavi,but the enjoyment will come when it's payback,if he still has (TWB) on his arm.
I have heard that mariachi borrachero version of "Por Amarte" sung by one of the old time guys in some grainy old 70's mariachi western flicks and it was never anything but slapstick stuff. This version was 2 thumbs up in a circle!!
TWB is Trophy Whore Barbie a classic term developed by our one and only Beckster. Tammie also introduced a new name for Isadora as well, Ice.

For those who cannot or don't wish to make a choice, Marco Antonio Solis and Pepe Aguilar did an album/CD together, Dos Idolos which is very good.
Loved the recap JR. Thanks!
I've no idea what her prior training was in Mexico but one year's schooling in Britain would certainly not qualify her to be a linguist.
Marco Antonio Solis released a CD last year called Trozos de mi Alma Vol. 2 which is, IMO, on of his best CDs. On it is a song, a re-release from an earlier version of his, called Antes de que te Vayas which was used as the theme song for Mundo de Fieras. So if you saw the show and heard the opening theme song then you heard him. I got turned on to him when I worked in a kitchen and some of the guys used to play his old band Los Bukis. I instantly fell in love with his voice.
Maybe Marcoantoniosolis and Adolfosolis are distant cousins...
LindaT.
Talking about Marco Antonio Solis--One of my favorites--is MAS QUE TU AMIGO- love that! Great for dancing, too!
Meantime, who is the mother of Eduardo's real life son? He doesn't compare to Eduardo- guess the mom wasn't so beautiful. Does anyone know if he played football in high school or college? AND...does he speak English? Can't believe I am getting obsessed with him, while still totally obsessed with Jaime Camil. This Eduardo- hijole!- que cuerpazo! And I don't think he looks this way solely from lifting weights at the gym every day (like most of the galanes). He's just got the genes.
For the person who asked about Hilario being a name of Spanish origin, it is. Its actually of Portuguese and Spanish origin. Its from the Latin name Hilarius meaning "joyful, happy"
I'm from Puerto Rico and this name is very common there.
