Destilando Amor 6/5/07: The Morning After the Night Before
(This is spur of the moment, so its bare bones, folks.)
Isadora is fit to be tied when Rod finally saunters in. She tempts fate, continuing to harangue him about leaving her there waiting till all hours. She leads Rod down the path of no return, confronting him and insisting he's been with Mariana Franco. He simply answers that he had to stop and think things over and make a few decisions. She essentially dares him to tell her what decisions he's made and if, in particular, is one of them not to have a
baby now?
Rod starts to explain the baby isn't all he was considering. Maddeningly though, every time he tries to open his mouth she interrupts him, till finally he loses patience, showing a bit of the spine he's now begun to grow. He yells at her to let him get a word in and finish. He wants Isa to wait to discuss things till in the morning when they are both calm and rested. He doesn't want to argue about it now, but Isa's been revving her engines and cooling her jets all evening. She is ready to "RUM-BLE!". He leaves her and goes to the bedroom to get ready for bed. It's like watching a little yip dog of a poodle chasing the next car past the corner. Isa gets so enraged that he should dare leave her in the middle of the conversation --or that patch of back yard she's been guarding all night. Just then, the phone rings and it is Sofia asking if Rod finally got home. Isa says he just arrived, then raises her voice 120 decibels higher to yell into the phone, so that Rod can hear, that she knows he was with Mariana Franco all evening.
Rod is getting ready for bed but Isa, yipping and yapping, decides to follow him to the bedroom and starts barking her harangue again. Isa, our sainted martyr, stretches the truth a wee bit, whimpering that she wasted two years of her life married to him with all his absurd rules, faithfully persevering all in the name of love. Burly Bear turns to face Yip Dog and brutally asks her to look him in the eyes and to tell him just what he had ever done to encourage or to deserve her love. Isa is stunned into momentary silence and admits that she hasn't the faintest idea. She figures she's just one of those women who is unfortunate enough to fall in love with the wrong man.
Becoming defensive then, Isa says if Rods thinking he's going to kick her out, he'll have to look pretty hard to find a good enough reason to force her out. He turns the tables on her though and says then it will be him that's leaving --and for good! She screams to go ahead, traipse after Mariana, since she is no doubt waiting for him anyway. As he leaves the bedroom with his pillow and blanket he emphasizes that unfortunately Mariana isn't waiting for him.
Isa zings him once more before he's out the bedroom door and tells him thanks for her gift. He 's puzzled and she explains how she had hoped he was late because he'd been looking at the last minute for her Christmas gift. Ouch! He tells her he's sorry but it was not to hurt her. Burly Bear is brutishly beyond caring anymore so this bit of emotional blackmail no longer works, and he exits stage right. Isa is left to herself, cursing Mariana Franco.
Later Christmas morning, at breakfast, Dani is left to stick up for her big brother against Grammy P and Sofia. Dani says the guy deserves to be happy, so considering everybody in the family knows his marriage is a sexless sham, why should he continue on like this, physically repressed? In particular, why think that Isa has been such a saint herself in all this time? Grammy P and Sofia take prudish offense at this so Dani puts it into business terms. "Isa stands to take half Rod's fortune for all of the... 21 months she's been living with him. Sounds like a darned good business proposition on Isadora's part, don't you think?"
Minerva wakes up Aaron early Christmas morning telling him her period is late and asks what he plans to do with his lover if she is actually pregnant. She wants to find a lab and he reminds her it's Christmas morning and they'll all be closed, though he could have suggested going to the nearest 24/7 Walgreens equivalent for a pregnancy kit instead.
Isa leaves the apartment and asks Rod to take advantage of her time away to pack his things and to leave. As she walks out the door the phone rings. It's therapist buddy, James, on the line and Rod tells him that it's time the farce of a marriage ends. Rod explains that Gavi told him in no uncertain terms she's not getting back with him because she doesn't want to be blamed for the break up of his marriage. However, he's ready to gamble everything to win her back.
Isa goes to see Grammy P and cry on her shoulder, playing the martyr and assuming that Rod will be leaving her for Mariana. Grammy P wants to talk to her grandson again, but Isa panics. Rod didn't do this on a lark, she admits. She only came to let them know the situation. So Grammy and Sofia ask her to try to call him once more and try discussing it together in the light of day with a cooler head. Hard-headed Grammy wants to blame it all on Rod's simply having drunk too many glasses of wine or tequila the night before. You've got to wonder what is driving Pilar as Sofia hands Isa the phone. They all brilliantly assume the worst afterward, since Rod doesn't answer either the phone or his cell.
Rod has packed his bags. He drives over to Mariana's apartment to speak with her, but Liliana, the apartment manager, informs him she left earlier that morning with her mother and the Italian on vacation. Mariana never said where she went or when she'd be returning. He wonders to himself why she left so suddenly without a word.
Mariana has taken Beni's advice to think her situation over very carefully before making a decision about taking up with Rod again. She loves Rod, she explains and tells Beni how they'd patched things up at the dance but that her conscience is killing her. She does not want to be the reason Rod walks out on his marriage. So, Beni has apparently taken her and Clarita to Cuernevaca to stay a few days at a resort hotel nearby his restaurant so that Mariana can think things over. Mariana tells him that she is seriously thinking of giving up her job and never going back to face Rodrigo again.
The two sourpusses, young and old, decide it's Uncle Bruno's turn to talk to Rod, man to man. He finds the idea distasteful, but says he'll give it a try.
Back at the apartment, Isa wants vengeance and asks her daddy to find the best divorce lawyer he can. She wants to make Rod suffer and to get her 50% of his fortune out of this. Daddy warns her that the Montalvo's are a very powerful family and will have the best lawyers money can buy. This doesn't matter to her. He is also antsy because he is still somewhat honorably indebted to Rod for the loan keeping his textile business afloat. Isa assures him that once she has her half of his property, the debt will be handled and settled, so not to worry. He finally gives in, though Momma is not so happy about the idea and asks her to reconsider.
Gavi feels remorse at destroying Rod's marriage and for breaking her promise to Isadora, though Clarita is at a loss to understand. She reminds Gavi that the marriage was done for spite and was never consummated, so no need to feel burdened. Besides, Montalvo Corporation isn't going to keep that fabulous job open for her forever. They don't even know where she's gone.
Gavi takes this into account and finally tells Clarita if she decides to return to the city it will be to confront the Montalvos as the infamous Gaviota and to risk it all for Rodrigo's love.
Rod, apparently having nothing better to do now, sits outside in his car at Mariana/Gavi's apartment house much of Christmas day and night, uselessly waiting for her to return. He eventually leaves and gets a drink at La Malquerida, the neighborhood bar. It fills him with memories of their cantina-hopping adventures back in Jalisco.
Meddlesome Grammy P begs Bruno to help her keep Rod from divorcing Isadora. He doesn't like the fact that Isa stands to gain half his fortune either, so he considers going along with some plan or other. Bruno arrives at Mariana's apartment a bit after Rod drives off. Liliana tells him the same thing she told Rod, but says she and her mother went with "a male friend", so he assumes it was Rod and returns to Grammy P's with the misinformation. Grammy and Bruno discuss the news about Mariana, but don't figure Isa will go for the jugular. Sofia warns them that they're wrong. Isa plans to take half Rod's fortune if the marriage ends in a divorce.
Dani returns to Grammy's and suggests to Sofia that neither Grammy nor Bruno have the right determining who is useful to the family and who is not. In the end she gives Sofia some much needed advice and tells her to stop playing these stupid games. Her sister is turning into a wrinkled old maid and really needs to get a life. She should look for a good man and forget the intrigues already. Sofia breaks down into tears when she hears this, then wishes Dani the best with her colorful lover and only asks that she not cause a scandal for the family.
Isa goes back to the empty bedroom and drinks herself silly, literally slopping red wine all over her Sak's taupe and creme chi-chi's, while shrieking curses at her husband and his women, La Gaviota and Mariana Franco. "You all rot! Rot! Rot!"
Aaron mentions to Fedra that Minnie thinks she might be pregnant since her period is a bit late and has gone out looking for a lab to give her results from a pregnancy test. Fedra is disappointed that it's Minnie instead of Pamela and asks what he plans to do if Minnie is in fact pregnant again. Bruno arrives and gives them the news about Rod and Isa's break up on account of Mariana Franco. Just then Minnie returns home crying because she isn't pregnant. Aaron embraces his tearful wife, "Cheer up, not all is bad news: Rod and Isa are separated."
Francisco gossips with the manager of his and Rod's apartment building. The manager tells Frankie that Rod left with his bags packed and looked like he didn't have a friend in the world. So Frankie heads upstairs hoping for a little neighborly action...... Isa comes to the door --in her bathrobe. Her eyes are a mess from crying. Frankie persuades her to let him in for just a moment to chat. She gives in and lies that Rod is coming back soon and doesn't want him to find Frankie there.
Right then the phone rings and Isa answers it. It is Minnie who is calling to tell her that Bruno went looking for Rod at Mariana's house, embellishing more than a bit, saying she was gone and he was gone and so it seems they left TOGETHER! Isa screams in a jealous fit and throws the phone against the wall, totally freaking at the news. She pounds the bed over and over and over screaming and crying from her frustration. Minnie, who is thoroughly enjoying digging the knife into her best friend's back and twisting it, laughs to Aaron that Isa hung up on her and he scolds her for creating an even bigger scandal.
Clarita tries to get Gavi to decide for Rod and to return. Gavi is getting cold feet and says she'd rather sleep forever and not have to think at all. She feels she may never return to Rodrigo or her job, ever.
Isadora is fit to be tied when Rod finally saunters in. She tempts fate, continuing to harangue him about leaving her there waiting till all hours. She leads Rod down the path of no return, confronting him and insisting he's been with Mariana Franco. He simply answers that he had to stop and think things over and make a few decisions.

Jardinera~~~Thanks for the great recap. I have to dash off to work now, but I'll be back to chat about this episode later. Uh-oh, Isa has finally gone AROUND THE BEND . That scene of her spilling wine all over her pinched little face was freaky. This gal throws a mean temper tantrum. And with a friend like Minervaaaaa , you don't need any enemies , n'est-ce pas ? Did you notice that with the hair and an ivory colored jacket, she just kind of faded into Pilar's ivorycolored sofa? Later.

What I want to know is, why did crazy Isa bother with the glass? All she had to do was drink straight out of the bottle :)!!!
Thanks for the recap, let's hope Gavi will "man up" (just heard that yesterday, very macho but appropriote to this situation somehow) and go get her faithful and slightly mad Rodrigo. I just love that guy!

Thanks for the recap!
Twb will definately be foaming in the mouth when she hears that Mariana is Gaviota.
That neighbour guy is an opportunist when he hears that Twb is divorcing her super rich husband he shall most definately want a piece of the pie and Twb will be stupid enough to think she has an ally.
If Gaviota doesnt come bac quick am scared to think what Rodrigo will do next..last time he married Twb look where it got him.
Aaron is going to come btwn Mariana and Rodrigo coz he probably hasnt forgotten that Mariana turned him down and slapped him for his efforts.
Aaron has always been jealous of Rod i thought he might fall in love with Mariana and he would have to fight Rodrigo for her but the writter do have something else in mind

I haven't been on here for a while, but at one time you guys were talking about the music from destilando--and that angelica rivera sings AY GAVIOTA. I think it is Angelica herself that sings this??
Is there anywhere online that one could hear a clip of this song....I already have an mp3 of main theme song so I don't want to buy a whole album but I do love this AY GAVIOTA- so dramatic.

Don't you love Minerva! Even Aaron was definitely shocked when he heard her speaking to Isa.
And I hate this neighbour guy - he always looks so sleazy. And his kiss - bleah! But they probably will be together ( at least in a bed).

<< let's hope Gavi will "man up" >>
Love this expression, Lori! Never heard it before--so could be for male or female? Don't see why not.
Meantime....This italian guy does not appear too masculine to me---Is that just me? He also bores me to tears! But i guess all of them look less than desirable compared to Rod! What a ridiculous hunk of a guy he is!

Good recap, Jardinera! LOL - Burly Bear and Yip Poodle.
Dani is the only sensible one in the family and good for her telling Sofia to get a life.
Carole - agree with you about the Italian non-stallion. He's the Italian James, just a little less doofus and with better taste in women.
Rodrigo is looking better since he's made up his mind (I hope for real) to dump Isa.
Great scene with him asking her why she loves him. Ouch.

gav & Rod may hook up for a bit...but don't forget this TeleNovela land...and there are extensions...so we will be in a huge pool of angst for endless days..but it is almost the third anniversary of dead gramps...so only one more year til the other part of the will is read..
Speaking of gramps...I am a bit uncomfortable with the relationship he had with Clara..if it was as it seems..he had to know she was a bit childlike...kinda sad if you know what I mean.

Finally, Rodrigo is getting some "balls",but his and Gaviota's timing is like a scene from a "B" movie. Doesn't Gavi have a cell phone from Montalvos and doesn't Rod have the number.? One blonde down,one to go.
I agree about that sleezy guy from the hotel,however, he seems to fit right in there with Isadora--no class..He was on dancing for your dream wedding on Univision on Sunday Nights back a few weeks ago. I think that Isadora character would do in Gaviota in a heartbeat..She borders on evil..

Wow, Jardinera, that's what you consider a bare-bones recap??
Maybe Clarita wasn't always so... y'know... maybe she was once very bright and clever, and got a head injury later on.
Can someone refresh my memory as to whether Pamela knows that she'll be expected to produce a Montalvo heir? Supposedly she has a "condition," so it's questionable as to whether this would even be possible.
I thought it was awesome when Rod asked Isa why she loved him, and she was speechless. I don't think she's been lying to him all this time when she was claiming to love him... she really hadn't given any thought to whether she loved him or not. She's probably never loved anyone.
The wine-spilling scene was just bizarre. I don't think I've ever been so mad or so drunk that I couldn't still get the alcohol into my mouth. At least not when I was still sober enough to stand up and curse people coherently. I mean, c'mon, when your coordination starts to fail, you can still use a straw.
Maybe Clarita wasn't always so... y'know... maybe she was once very bright and clever, and got a head injury later on.
Can someone refresh my memory as to whether Pamela knows that she'll be expected to produce a Montalvo heir? Supposedly she has a "condition," so it's questionable as to whether this would even be possible.

Oh. And maybe the head injury was from Granny. Maybe they had a fight. Pilar hit Clarita on the head; and obviously Clarita hit Pilar in the face.
Thanks so much Jardinera. You too are amazing with your recapping skills and quickness.
Your nicknames were priceless too (Burly Bear and Yippy Dog).
I too hope Gavi "mans up" b/c I just don't want to see Rod acting extremely crazy anymore (though when he does channel that anger for good purposes its quite effective).

Bravo, Jardinera! Loved the scene where Rod asks Isa why she loves him and she has no idea why.... And the whine/wine scene, Isa was really having problems. That was frightening! Why not drink white wine if she always wears taupe or drink something harder if she really wanted to get drunk? I think that showed a lack of planning on her part.
Come on, Rod's the one who needs to man up. Gavi's way ahead on taking action and making decisions. Let's hope he's learned something from his stupidity.
Hehe So right, Julie, and funny. Clarita is definately "touched" in the head, and Pilar is "touched up" in the face...

Isa was drinking that particular wine because it's Rodrigoo's favorite. I think the idea was that she was using up his good stuff. :)
I enjoyed the recap. Funny how obvious it becomes with each episode how truly dysfunctional the Montalvos' are. Dani's their only saving grace. And while I love Rod, it's clearly evident that he has an extra Y chromosome...he get's so angry and aggressive. Maybe Gavi's smart to keep running away from him?? Are they sure that Aaron, Minerva, Isadora and Rodrigo aren't 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cousins.....They sure act like it!
ExportRed....yes, gavi has a cell phone. Remember that night when she answered her cell phone in the car and Rod went completely nuts because he thought it was one of her boyfriends. But you know Gavi. She probably keeps it off whenever she is with her Mom because nothing could be that important! What a joke for someone at her level in the company not being accessible to her boss- HA!
That kiss between neighbor and Isa at the door made me gag!

Maybe it was just my imagination, but when Elvis went to kiss Granny last night, I could have sworn that she leaned in for it. :)
Yes, I remember she had a cell phone & so does Rod..Now all of a sudden that he's dumped TWB,he's hanging around Gavi's apartment and cell phones are nowhere to be found..Bad timing. Gavi is off site seeing(wrong place, wrong time) with Clarita & the visitor from Italy,who seems to have taken up residence with Mamacita & Gavi..I'm afraid Isadora is going to do the old suicide routine,and Rod will go running back..Last night's preview for tonight didn't show the two making a connection..Jeez...
I am enjoying all of your comments ! Julie, you are muy funny ...Pilar hit Clarita on the head and Clarita hit Pilar in the face ! Claro !!! And Susana, that was a very good point about The Lady in Taupe sticking to white wine ! Can't wait to see what happens tonight. I am always tempted to ask my Mexican student what's going to happen in the weeks ahead, but i don't because I would rather be surprised. I have been using the telenovelas in class. For example, the other day , we were studying emotions and as an example of ''turned on '' , I used Rodrigoooo...as an example of ''jealous,'' I used Isa...as example of ''shocked,'' I used the Montalvos' reaction to Elvis, etc.^^^Susanlynn, using the telenovelas as a learning tool

I thought it was a pretty funny idea to make TWB wear a Christmas tree skirt as a bib, myself. It would have to be a taupe one, though. I wouldn't want to interfere with her monochrome look.
The tree skirt would have to have gold glitter on it.

I wish my husband could recap sex on the spur of the moment as well you did Desti. Great job. Am I the only one who thinks Aaron is the best looking one on the show? I will take him over Rod any day. Those blue eyes are to die for. Does anyone remember "Dallas" in the 80's? I notice that almost every epidsode of Desti is pretty much the same as Dallas once was. All of the characters on Desti were on Dallas. Thanx again for the great recap.

Hmm....Aaron as JR, Rod as Bobby, but who was Clarita's counterpart on Dallas?

Thanks, J.R. and all of the rest of you. --Sorry to hear you've had problems on the home front, J.R., but I was happy to help you out. It was just a matter of stocking up with a couple 6-packs of Starbuck's mocha frappacinos and swilling down double and triple latés during work. You should have seen me flying up and down I-70 today with the radar detector turned up to the max and Ay! Gaviota! blaring through the car speakers. Works much better than toothpicks, ya know? jejeje.... =/; ? )8
===========
Julie, your remarks about Pilar and Clarita had me rolling, not to mention that bit about Isa making sure she was drinking up all of Rod's good stuff!// beckster, I am definitely getting a front row seat to watch when Isa rubs Minnies nose in it over said couch-arobics with Aaron --major mud-wrestle alert.....//Why is it that all the good guys in this novela are doofi? From Hilario-us to Beni to Ja-mes and yes, even brawn-for-brains Rod the Bod. Was the guy who wrote the original novela born from an Amazon or what?

Anon. 6:12 PM Tks! and no, I have been a fan of Sergio's blue eyes and grey boxers since Amarte Es Mi Pecado. EY is a work of art, and has a killer smile, but like Susanlynn says, you either cheer for the quarterbacks or the linebackers. I'm a QB babe.
Jardinera^^^Teeheehee....Good point>>...quarterbacks..linebackers...it's all good...I guess that AAron looks a little too much like my cousin Skip and a womanizing friend from high school for me to be attracted to him ...also, I am a fan of dark hair and eyes...to each her own, n'est-ce pas ????

to add my 2 cents, I'm a fan of dark hair and blue eyes, but that's hard to come by....a close second is dark hair, dark eyes and honestly, I think EY is about the most perfect specimen I've seen on TV. Funny, I am not ordinarily attracted to to these classic beauties, but Rod is to die for. It's almost hedonistic to look at him night after night.. Aaron's weird sslurring peech ruins his looks--IMHO.
I, too, think Isa might pull a NOW YOU MIGHT PAY ATTENTION TO ME move tomorrow. And looks like our good buddy, Thelma, is about to do likewise tomorrow. Boy, these aggressive Latin women really have it all figured out, huh? I mean, how crazy that all these women get--by hook or by crook---these phenomenal looking men to marry them even when the men have no interest in them, and then we spend 4 months watching agonizing over these mens' loveless marriages.
I was sooo hooked on Dallas that I never went out on Friday nights for the first many years of my marriage; however, those American actors don't hold a candle to any our Latin morsels!! I've given up on watching American actors.

Carole---You said it , girl. The combination of dark hair and blue eyes is a winning combo but rare. I agree that the Mexican telenovela actors are muy guaypo. Like you, I've given up on American actors [except for Dean Cain, Joe Lando]. Also, the telenovelas portray much more romance and passion than American shows. Great escapes.

My 2 cents re Aarrron: I think that alpha dog looks more like a snake--- the narrowing cold calculating eyes. With my apologies to reptile lovers everywhere.
