Destilando Amor - April 3, 2007

* En London, Sor. Felicity listens as Gavi repeats "Londres el capital de Inglaterra" y "Rodrigo" and starts to remember the entire accident (flashback). Gavi tells Sor. Felicity that she wanted to tell Rodrigo that he was going to be a papa, that she was pregnant. She cries and feels her belly - my baby - where's my baby? Sor. Felicity tells her that it didn't survive. Gavi screams and cries in anguish. Felicity explains that the doctors did what they could to try and save the baby but couldn't. Gavi says that where there was joy in her heart, now there's nothing but emptiness - she cries and laments how much she wanted the baby.

* On the front steps of the Mexico City mansion, Rodrigo is stunned by the news that he and Isadora will be the best man and maid of honor at Aaron and Minnie's wedding.

* Felicity tries to counsel and console Gavi. Gavi begs Felicity to find Rodrigo in London. She tells her to go to Cambridge where he is a student. Felicity agrees to go. Gavi also remembers that she needs to write to her mom in Mexico.

* Clara yells from her holding cell at the guards to let her out, she's innocent. One guard comes and takes her to talk to a declaration cage with a lawyer (?) inside. He asks her to tell her side of the story and why she attacked the lady. Clara tells them about the lady calling her daughter Gavi names, and also about the photographer and his associate who took Gavi to Europe.

* Gavi prays to the Virgin Mary about her pain and grief.

* Rod, Aaron, Minnie and Isadora sit at a table in a restaurant and toast to the newly engaged couple. Rod wonders why they don't wait and have it in the spring or summer. Rod then mentions the business and the two cousins starting discussing business interests of Aaron. Minnie and Isadora take their cue to leave together for the restroom. When they are alone, Aaron tries to convince Rod to give Isadora a chance. Rod isn't interested and resents Aaron and Minnie for setting up the blind date.

* In the restroom, Isadora and Minnie share girl talk about the guys.

* Gavi tells Felicity that she plans to return to the hacienda and Rodrigo on March 21, that's when they will be married. Felicity calls her "Mariana" and as Gavi tries to correct her, Felicity tells her to be quiet and go to sleep. Felicity turns off the light as she leaves.

* Aaron, Minnie, Rod and Isadora are at the table, laughing and talking. Isa and Rod discuss when to meet again and the subject of water volleyball comes up. Everyone agrees to get together tomorrow to play.

* At the police station, the lawyer in the cage shows Clara the sketches they have - Clara is shocked. The lawyer continues to talk about the people in the sketches - Clara is horrified. He hands Clara his business card, if she should ever need anything in the future.

* On the street that night, Clara sits on a wall near the town church. She takes out her Virgin Mary portrait, and cries and prays that her daughter is protected and doing fine. Clara misses her daughter, Gavi.

* Felicity returns to Gavi's room. Gavi is excited for news about Rodrigo - Felicity tells her that yes, Rod was a student at Cambridge, but his plans have changed and he will be continuing his studies via the internet from Mexico. Gavi is disappointed that Rod isn't in London, but a bit relieved that he won't see her disabled. Felicity tells Gavi that she is a very brave woman and will help her in her studies. Gavi is bewildered. Felicity explains that she will help with Gavi's recuperation, and also teach Gavi a variety of different languages. Gavi thanks her.

* At the water volleyball game at the pool with Minnie, Isa, Aaron and Rod, the cell phone rings and Aaron answers it. It is important business at the office. Aaron and Rod leave. Minnie and Isa stay at the pool and gloat about how well their plan is going so far.

* Gavi tells Felicity about her desire to study, to work at the convent hospital and earn enough money to return to Mexico and Rod on March 21.

* Bruno explains why Aaron won't become part of the company - Aaron is hurt and angry, he wants to work for the family company. Rod and Patricio sit and listen. Fedra tells Bruno her opinion. Bruno isn't happy, he goes to the computer and looks at the screen. He sees the business proposal and yells for an explanation. Aaron says that he thinks it's a great proposal and they should jump on it. Bruno reluctantly agrees and puts Aaron in charge of the proposal. Aaron assures his father that the deal with be a success and he will complete it by the time of his wedding.

* London, 15 days later - Gavi watches and smiles as Doctor and Felicity take the cast off her leg.

* 6 months later - Aaron, Rod, Minnie and Isa are playing 2-on-2 basketball.

* in London - Felicity sits with wheelchair-bound Gavi in the convent hospital's garden. Felicity is showing Gavi flashcards to help her learn english.

* Someone loads a rifle.

* Rod is driving and smiling.

* Gavi thinks how far apart she and Rod are right now.

* Series of video clips - Rod, Minnie, Isa and Aaron are having fun para-gliding and doing other adventures together in Mexico; Gavi and Felicity countdown the days on Gavi's calendar.

* Wedding reception for Aaron and Minnie. The band stops. The leader announces for all the single ladies to come to the dance floor - Minnie tosses her bouquet, Isa catches it; then all the single men come to the floor - Aaron tosses the garter, Rod catches it. Aaron and Minnie kiss. Aaron goes to Isa and Rod and congratulates them - he mentions that now they will be the next to marry. Rod is shocked - Isa smiles and thinks of the irony.

* Gavi is sad and talks to herself and Rod about feeling weird, and that her leg isn't responding to treatment. She swings her legs off the side of the bed. She prays, for her love with Rod, and tries to stand up. Gavi stands and is so happy, she thanks the Virgin Mary. She tries to take a step - success! - Felicity enters and sees Gavi standing - Gavi takes another step - Felicity blesses the angels in heaven and the two hug - Gavi shouts she can walk!

* Isa makes a comment. Rod tells her, as he puts his arm on his cousin's shoulder, that this was a really bad joke by Aaron. As Rod pulls Aaron to a quiet corner, Minnie comes over and talks with Isa. Rod tells Aaron that he isn't that interested in Isa, it isn't in his plans. Aaron presses Rod to tell him why not. Just then Bruno approaches, Rod leaves, Bruno and Aaron toast Aaron's wedding and position with the family company.

* Isa tells Minnie how disappointed she is with Rod, Minnie tells her about Rod's plan to return to the hacienda, Isa wonders why he doesn't love her like she is enchanted by him.

* As Felicity helps Gavi back in bed, Gavi is excited to return to Mexico and reunite with Rod.

* Rod escorts Isa to the main door of an upscale Mexico City apartment building. She invites him upstairs for cocktails. He escorts her inside.

* In the apartment, Isa starts asking him about his return to the hacienda. He smiles. She tries to seduce him into kissing her - he stops her. He doesn't want to lead her on. She is disappointed. She claims that she will be content to be friends with him. He confesses that he can't be with her because he loves someone else. He leaves. She is shocked.

* Rod walks outside the building. On the steps, he pauses, smiles and thinks about reuniting with Gavi.

* Gavi, in London, pauses, smiles and thinks about her reunion with Rod.

* At the Mexico City mansion, Rod and Dani laugh and he tells her what he told Isa last night about loving someone else. Dani knows the someone else is Gavi - and laughs at the thought of the reactions when the family finds out and Rod and Gavi are married. Abuela Pilar enters and interrupts. Sofia enters, in her pajamas, to tell Rod that his taxi is outside. He says his good-byes and rushes out the door. Sofia whispers to Abuela Pilar, wonder what has him in such a good mood?

* Isa is having a sex dream about Rod. The cell phone rings - it wakes her up - she is disgusted when she sees the caller ID - she hangs up and returns to her dream. She vows to make her dream a reality.

* Rod arrives at the hacienda and asks Ramon where Gavi is. Ramon tells him that she left for Europe - Rod is confused and asks for details - Ramon tells him what he knows and about the two letters - Rod is still curious why she left for Europe - Ramon hypothesizes about her finding work in Paris and London. Rod is still baffled. As he remembers his and Gavi's promise to each other and their good-bye kisses, he smiles and tells himself that she will return to him.

Thanks for your quick recap and opportunities for chuckles JR. I wonder what news obstacles our hero and heroine will face tomorrow.

Because I'm hooked on our sweet couple Gaviota and Rodrigo, I am just horrified to think how they're going to get massacred by misery for so long. Ugh, I wish for once we could have a novela where nice things happen to nice people.
 

I agree completely. Why can't we have a few bad things on the good people and more bad things on the bad? They could do bad on bad and still get their misery in. That would make me happier to tune in.

Thanks, J.R.!

We can always count on two guiding principles of novelas:

"[That] we have here is a failure to communicate" and "No pain, no gain". (Or perhaps we can add another: "one must suffer to succeed"?)
 

JR~~~Thanks for the great recap. I'm a little confused ; 1] Why do Minnie and AAron want to hook Rodrigooo up with Isa?? Since they are in a race for a varon and control of grandpa's fortune, I would think that they'd want to keep Rod celibate, single, and childless...so why are they pushing gorgeous, young, hot Isa on him??? 2] Why is Rod doubledating with A., M. AND I. for months in Mexico instead of reuniting with his truelove???? ~~~Susanlynn, later for work
 

Great recap! I am hooked on this novela. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Oh, and, Jardinera654, I don't remember if those " my little ponies" came with yellow hair. I only remember my older daughter
having a pink one with white hair,
I think. Of course I don't remember too well, anymore. My other teenaged daughter likes to tell me that I'm "Getting Old!!"

You are also right about novelas -always alot of heartbreak and coraje. -Becky T.
 

Hello everyone,

susanlynn I think that aaron just have confidence that since rodrigo has a problem sleeping with women esadora wont have a chance. Aaron already thinks he won the race, too bad gaviota lost the baby cuz that would of been a big surprise.
 

I am totally enamored with Rog & Gav..they are so 50's, (my husband says it'll be just like LFMB & I'll be cursing the screen in no time).
Ewwwwww TWB, sex dream....Stop lusting after Rod, he is far too noble for your skanky self...
Hee Hee Hee, I'm betting these words will come back to bite me & maybe Rod too.

Also after seeing the accident for the 5th or 6th time, I am still giving Gavi at least a 9.5, cause she is just a scrappy little amatuer from Jalisco, who never competed in real snarled traffic, plus opposite lane traffic..I say the kid could possibly go to the nationals.
 

OK - still not watching, but am reading the recaps...very tempting.
Here's my ignorant question - why doesn't Gavi send a letter to Rodrigo at the hacienda? Wouldn't it be forwarded or held for him?
I know it would end the novela, but aside from that, is there a good reason?
 

Never mind - the last part of the recap about 2 letters - guess she sent those.
I won't ask questions anymore if I'm not watching the novela.
Sorry.
 

Great recap J.R. I haven't even seen Isadora yet and I already loathe her.

Anya, these missed meetings, crossed letters, unsent letters, etc. are my most unfavorite thing about every telenovela. But as Jardinera says it is one of the guiding principles.

Please people, don't tell me I missed hunky Rodrigo playing waterpolo or doing some other macho, sweaty thing while scantily clad? I couldn't bear it.
 

I'm actually confused about the letters too. Seems to me that even with good-old-fashioned snail mail (and not telephone, email, etc.) it should be possible to keep everyone informed. Yeah, I know... but I'd like a better reason than plot convenience.
 

I'm hoping the water polo match is tonight. I don't get to watch this show on Tuesdays, so I keep hoping all the fun stuff happens on Wednesday. :)
 

thank you jr!

susalynn, i think rod is double dating in mexico because even if he returns to the hacienda, he can't see gaviota since her and her mom were there only temporarily. when the agave season is over, they go to other regions to work, and won't come back until the spring. that's why rod is hanging around mex city until spring.

anya, i agree gavi could have sent a letter to rod at the hacienda, but he told her that his grandma would see them and they'd be in trouble so they decided not to do that.

anyhoo, this letter issue is a bit annoying to me. i mean, we have internet now and it would have taken rodrigo 10 min to teach gavi to use the internet. i guess since this novela is the remake of an original written in the 90's, it wasn't possible back then. bleh...

i loved when rod told isa "i don't have a problem; i can't be with you cuz i'n love with someone else..." ...tada!!! =) i love rod...hehe... so subtle yet so honest!
 

Susalynn I think that Rodrigo did not came back sooner, because he is waiting for her to come back. She is supposed to be out there "en la pizca" of tomatoes or something, besides according to his flash back, Gavi told him that they were not to see each other for a whole year to prove to themselves that their love was real (Go figure!)
That is why he was so “impactado” when he finds out that she when looking for him. The letters (2) that were received, were addressed to Gavi's mom, and she pick them up. I think Gavi did not tried to contact Rodrigo after she discovered she had lost the baby because well….She had lost the baby, and the baby was the main reason she wanted to talk to him about. After she finds out he is not longer in London (capital de Inglaterra) she decides to wait until she was able to walk to contact him because she swore to herself not to allow Rod to marry her out of pity.

Sylvia~~~Bad news for you, girl---You missed Rodrigooo frolicking in the pool, playing a little b-ball 2 on 2, and hang gliding. I told you that you are missing a good one. !!! Think about it for a minute...this is the only actor who has managed to take my attention off Fernando for more than a nanosecond. I'm telling you, Rodrigoooo is the man. He is not the quarterback ...he is a linebacker. And, you should see him punch, push, and pin AAron [Cesar Sleazer] ..which he does in almost every show...I love it. ~~~Susanlynn, telling you that I told you so
 

Aaargh, you are torturing me, I knew it!! Maybe I can figure out some way to tape DA on the VCR while Tivo records Zorro simultaneously. I am almost completely non-technical but when I want something badly enough it's amazing how my pea brain can figure things out. I would especially like to see Hot Rod pummel Sleazar on a daily basis. Let's hope I don't blow up the entertainment center on this one...
 

Sylvia~~~Go for it , girl. It is sooo worth blowing up an entertainment center. Trust me on this one. Rodrigoooo is H.O.T. He is kicking ass and taking names [and the name that he is usually taking is AARON Montallvo.] Get on board and put on your seat belt because I think that we are in for a bumpy ride with this one .^^^Susanlynn, who no longer cares that she is zorroless
