Amar Sin Limites #9 Monday 7/30/07

I apologize again for some missing parts. I only had time to watch the show through once and take notes while watching. I miss some things and don't have time to rewind and watch again. Frankly, I don't yet find this show interesting enough to spend the time on. I hope that will change.

Silvana and Diego are discussing her pain at losing her son. She blames Mauricio. She says Diego is the only one who gives her strength. I think she says she would fall to pieces otherwise. (caerse a pedazos.)

Azul is still crying in Mauricio's arms. She talks about how she lost Ceci her job. She's always looking for trouble (bronca-fight) It's her fault. She has to helpher friend. I missed something else here. Mauricio tells her that they have too much between them and they shouldn't end thre relationship the way they had a few days ago.

Back to Diego's, where Silvana is telling how she wanted to kill Maurice. It wouldn't be a crime--but she would be protecting society.
Somehow we learn how her son died. Mauricio's wife was driving. She was Silvana's friend. He provoked her and she was running away. I don't really understand the relationship here. Was the son in the car, or was he run over?

Somewhere this vocab was thrown in: He didn't leave any traces--no dejo huellas.

She says she will go to a hotel so as not to bother him.

Cut to Azul and Mauricio. She is telling him she saw him on the TV program. He was great--and he spoke so well of her.

Diego continues talking to Silvana. He takes her over to the bar, and Gisela prepares to put Silvana up for the night. I'm not really sure why Gisela is willing to do this, except her description seems to be that she is helpful.

Azul continues talking to Mauricio.

Diego finally gets rid of Silvana and calls Azul and leaves a message on her cell.

Piero and Lidia are kissing madly in a bed somewhere.

It is now pouring rain, and Diego goes looking for Azul at the restaurant, where of course she is not.

Gisela lets Silvana call Emilia on the phone. Emilia is worried, but Gisela tells her she is being well taken care of. It's not clear to me what this is about--she needs a 24-hour guard?

Piero and Lidia have finished their "session," and they begin planning for the next day. Suddenly they are seized with the need to do it again.

Paco is visiting Manuel. I don't really pay attention to what they are talking about.

Diego goes to Cecilia's, and Azul is not there. He is soaking wet, so he takes off his shirt, and Ceci gives him a towel to dry off. He tells Ceci that he didn't stand Azul up--he needs to explain. There's a knock on the door, and Azul is out there with Maurice. Quick--Diego has to hide in Ceci's room. Maurice suspects that Ceci is there with a date.

Gisela is making up the bed for Silvana, and she says it's better than the place she was before.

Paco cleans up at the bar. Calls Lidia again. Pop answers.

Maurice leaves. Ceci now reveals the surprise she was hiding--Diego in the bedroom. Azul doesn't want to hear what Diego has to say. He says he spent all day thinking about her, and she says he is a liar. (Folks, I am a little disappointed in her here. It seems that this show may have a whole plot manufactured around this little fit of pique.) She accuses him of just wanting to sleep with her.
He says he called her cell and no one answered. She tells him to get out--this is a mistake. He leaves.

Azul tells Ceci that Mauricio cares for her. Ceci tries to find out how she met Mauricio that night. Azul tells her he just showed up out of the blue (oops, we have to watch the blue puns now). No one figures out he was stalking her. Ceci again tries to reason with Azul--she doesn't love M. No luck there.

Lidia is fighting with Paco. Because she is on the defensive, she goes on the offensive. She says he's too jealous. She says she's not going on the trip.

Azul finds Diego's shirt where it was hidden under a pillow on the sofa. I'm not sure what she thinks. Is she thinking that she now believes him? Or does she think he was cheating on her with Ceci? I just don't get it.

Maurice is now trying to persuade GCSSC to join his lab. Dad tosses around some high-falutin' scientific words: he wants a new centrifuge for the blood bank and a new refrigerator, and some other stuff. Azul comes in with a present and kisses Dad and Maurice. She says it's a present for Caty.

Silvana and Emilia go over the previous night's happenings.

Mauricio and Andres are talking about something, I suppose the hiring of GCSSD.

Silvana, Diego and Emilia now meet. They talk about therapy and who will go with Silvana. He reiterates that Silvana is someone special for him.

Ceci and Azul talk. Azul now gets Diego's cell phone message.

Pop, Diego, Mom and Lidia are talking around the breakfast table. Silvana is now going to live with them?

Pop says this girl is a stranger--he doesn't want her. The others seem to think it isn't so bad if she needs help. I fell asleep watching the end here last night at 10 o'clock.

Comments:
I only watched the beginning of this because I got home late and yes, I eat watching TV! (bad habit, I know)
I find the absurd breakups so annoying. Any rational human being would have come round to Diego's explanation. After all, he showed up at the apartment and besides, she has no reason to mistrust him. One missed date? Absurd.
BUT....the lovers have to break up so we can have drama and string this baby out.
Once I finished dinner, it was adios.

Okay, some missed details (it's not you, it's me--I'm a freak):

1. Mauricio's dead wife was in the car with both kids (Caty and Nicolas), running away from Mauricio who had been screaming at her and chasing her around the house for some reason. Now, this is what Silvana said, but I don't recall anyone ever mentioning that Caty was in the same car accident that killed her mother.

2. The reason Piero and Lidia felt the need to re-copulate was that Lidia asked him for a PR job (I guess that would mean a promotion for her) and he said he'd consider it. Oh, the things that Lidia will do for work.

3. Lidia told Paco that the entire "conference" was called off, so now I guess she and Piero will need a new excuse.

4. Emilia had decided that Silvana needed a "therapeutic companion" 24 hours a day, which is what made Silvana run to Diego. Emilia is willing to back off on that if Silvana stays with Diego's family for a little while. Because counseling just works differently in Telenovelaland, apparently.

5. It's actually Lidia who doesn't want Silvana in the house and thinks it's wierd. Papa says it's fine as long as there's no funny business between Diego and Silvana (as if! although, like Mama, I kind of wish). It was a little wierd seeing Papa be agreeable for once.

A lot of the stuff that didn't make sense to you didn't make sense to me either--Azul's sudden decision that Diego's a big liar; what the significance is to Azul of Diego's shirt stuffed behind the couch cushions; why Gisela is so nice (and is it Gisela or Isela?).
 

thanks, 5ft. What happens to me is that I am looking down at my pad writing notes, so I miss some of what they are saying (in closed captions).
 

Yeah, I can't imagine having to do it all from notes and memory. I rely on the closed captioning and on being able to rewind frequently! You did much better than I probably could have for just watching it once straight through.
 

I've only seen little bits of this show, but it seems very static and dark. At least they talk less than that "Heridas," which was also static but the characters never shut up, which made recapping harder...
 

Thanks so much for this recap Nina. I understand your concerns with this novela thus far. It has good moments and then some slow ones. And the exceedinly dumb break up was ridiculous. The writers could have been more creative.

Thanks Nina for the recap and thanks too, 5ft for clearing up the issues with Mauricio's first wife and Nico's death. I don't use cc but I caught too that Caty and Nico were somehow with Mauricio's wife, that she was terrified of him and running. But if Caty knew that her Dad was responsible, why is she so buddy buddy with him now? Repressed memories? We will just have to see this secret play out.

As for Azul's hysteria at being stood up, we've seen it before, with Mauricio. Sounds like some kind of psychological hangup. People on this show are full of them. It makes the show a little darker, the characters more complicated.
 

Thanks, everyone, for chiming in. All your comments help to clear things up and also make me realize I'm not completely crazy when I'm missing something. Looks like the writers are keeping us confused somewhat.
