8/1 Juan Q - CL calls in his favors, Paula tries to make a go, and Yadi has an artificial competitoress

Enrique butters up to Yadira at the office. He says he came to talk to Juan about a business that they have together, he has to cut things short so he can check out some trucks he wants to buy. He tells himself to stand it, but of course he can’t and he calls back to her and gives her his best Juan imitation. She laughs as he walks away swingin his backside.


Pastor is waiting for his answer. Juan tells himself he’s sorry he needs to lie again. He tells Pastor that he’s from the small hot coastal town Achichipico where violence is a way of life and he got into some problems to help out a friend and so he had to leave everything he had there. Pastor says this sounds like a novella. Juan wants to continue that he was taken in by a wonderful family that had just suffered a tragedy and so once there he had to tell some white lies so he told them he was a high level executive. Juan says well, he’s high but not an executive. He tells Pastor that Marely is part of that family that he lives with. He brought her to work here because she needed work. Pastor says when she finds out about tall this though she’ll be mad. Juan says no it’s ok, she knows everything already. Pastor wants to know why he trusts this girl so much, is she your girlfriend?

Consuelo tells her she doesn’t know of any reason why CL might have another woman and they chat about this a little. I think if you have to ask your maid if your husband has another woman, the cause might already be lost. But maybe that’s just me. Consuelo suggests that Moni asks him then. There’s a bright idea, because of course he will just tell her the truth…..

Juan laughs like a hyena and says nothing is going on with Mari they are just friends he tells himself something about a volcano exploding. He says he doesn’t like to rope in the women, especially at work that he has principles. He tells himself if you don’t like these I have others. He talks about some problems and Pastor tells him that he’s noticed his tenseness. He says he can’t tell these people that he’s just a simple chauffer. Pastor says he should have told him all this because many problems would have been solved already. Juan thanks him from the bottom of his soul for all of his help and support so far, that he is his only friend. He says he likes the best about Juan that he admits his errors and learns from his mistakes. He says maybe he has been unjust and that he should try to help more. We could start by getting to know more about you including starting with your house, how about tomorrow afternoon?

Yadi is bugging Marely she says she wants to talk to someone she’s upset. Mari says you fought with Mom, she agrees but not over anything major. Mari says it has to be or else you wouldn’t be here. She said well she also wants to see Juan, Marely covers and tells her that he is in a meeting that will last forever, so she can’t see him, but predictably Juan walks into the lobby and greets Yadi. Yadi tells him she wants to speak to Fer. Juan asks Mari to connect him to her.

Juan goes in to see CL and tells him he can explain about Enrique. CL doesn’t care as long as his work isn’t affected. He says he doesn’t know how long he can keep this farce up though. Juan swears he’ll tell the truth soon. Cl says he’s helped out because he admires men who lie for love, that betrayal is the path of seduction. Can’t say that ever worked for me. Juan philosophizes that he’s not sure if he’s seducing, or they are seducing him! Cl thinks that’s an interesting point of view, and they talk about the chicken before the egg etc. CL bonds with him. Juan is pleased at the bonding and says ok see you later. CL says not so fast. CL says wants to talk to Juan about his boss, Paula.

Yadi calls Fer through Marely who covers for him too. She wants to see him and he says he’s busy and doesn’t know when he can. He wants to know how she got his number. She says a friend at Farell. He apologizes that he hasn’t seen her lately he’s been so busy with work, and he can’t see her now, even at his business that she asks the address for. He agrees instead to meet her at a café because he doesn’t like to mix business with pleasure. As she’s leaving she sees Fer out front and of course she wants to know what he’s doing there. He says he just couldn’t wait to see her. She asks how he got there so fast because she thought his office was on the other side of the city, he makes up something, she asks where his car is, he says he left it and walked, well, ran, then she notes he looks pretty fresh for having run. He says he’s in good shape and she wonders if he thought about running a marathon. He says yes, once in a while.

Paula calls Marely in. Split screen she is telling Mar that CL didn’t accept her renuncia. Mar says then you have to stay. Paula says the situation hasn’t changed though. Mar wants to know what she is talking about, she thinks it’s Pastor. Paula says nevermind I’ll get over it and you and I together are going to make history in this office.

CL finally plays his cards. He tells Juan that he wants him to inform him about every move Paula makes, who she talks to etc. Juan balks a bit at that until CL asks if he has to remind him of all the favors he’s done Juan. Caray, here it comes. Of course Juan can’t say no after that.

Ana chats with her friend about the situation with Paula and CL. Ana says she’s not going to interfere anymore and that Paula knows where to find her. Ana says she knows someone who can help them out with this.

Juan talks with Mari about Yadi meeting up with Fer and gets assured that they met elsewhere. He thinks he wants to talk to Paula but realizes maybe not, maybe better to wait another time. He tells himself he really doesn’t like this situation at all.

Fer and Yadi are chatting at the café. She wants to know why he is acting so weird. He says he’s been so busy he hasn’t even had 30 seconds to talk to her. She asks if he thinks she’s stupid, she doesn’t believe him. She throws out a bunch of reasons, he denies them all. They bleep something but I think she asks him if he likes men. When she won’t back down, then he picks a reason he thinks will work instead of that. Frankly I think it’s the crappiest reason, there had to be a better reason. He says yes, ok, there is another woman. Of course she goes ballistic and tells him see you never.

Chelo and the gardener fight over who is going to find Moni for a long distance phone call. Chelo wins because she controls his food supply.

Juan asks Fer how it went with Yadi. He said badly, Juan asks why did he tell her the truth? He says no he invented another woman. Juan agrees with me that that was a stupid reason. He says he gave him all the best instructions and he ignored them. They fight call each other names.

Ana is at the cemetery she asks Samuel’s help to find her work, and also for her daughter. Of course Nadi shows up and asks her if she’ll be long. She says she’ll be as long as she wants, you can stay if you want. Nadi smarts off that she didn’t mind sharing him in life so why not in death. Ana said she didn’t share anything, we both know his love was only for me. Nadi says, funny but he left me all the money. Ana says she has to go. Nadi says Ana shouldn’t go so fast, the time has come that we make a truce.

Gardner finds Mon passed out on the ground with blood on a rock next to her head.

Juan and Fer are chatting, sort of making up about their earlier spat. Juan tells him about CL’s proposal and request for spying. Fer says, you are the only one in the office that hasn’t realized this yet? Juan is like duh, what? Fer says that your boss and mine have a thing, they are lovers. Juan is of course muy impactado!!! He continues that is a lie because she is a decent woman. Fer says don’t you wonder how she rose so high in the company so fast? Her studies in the US? No way. If you don’t want to see it then, don’t, but that’s how it is.

He tells himself he can’t believe that his divine Goddess would do something like that, what if Fer is right? He can’t accept that.

Consuelo sees Moni and wonders what happened. Moni tells her very calmly that she should just call the doctor, she’ll make it up to her room ok by herself. Chelo fawns over her, but doesn’t run to call the doc.

Ana says first she’s not interested in truces. Nid says stay, and let’s talk. I’ve spent a lot of effort fighting against you but life goes on, and that’s finished now. Nid and Ana are discussing civilly that this is the first time she has come since Samuel died, but Ana must have come many times. Ana says yes. Nid says it’s not because I don’t care, it’s because I’m trying to make sense of what to think about all this.. Ana says you don’t think this, you feel this, and I don’t want to fight anymore. Nid tells her she’s sick of being the bad girl, she doesn’t want to fight anymore either. Nid tells her that she has wanted to chat with her every once in a while about Samuel and things that happened. She wondered if this ever occurred to Ana as well. She says yes, but ..Nid tells her well then let’s take advantage of this and chat. Perhaps Samuel had a reason for putting us together here.

Yadi is bawling insanely in the lobby several people are looking at her curiously and wondering que the hell. Yadi tells Mari Fer has another chica. Marely keeps trying to convince her to talk about it at home or over a coffee. Eventually Yadi loses it and yells at the onlookers calling them gossipers.

CL is telling Pastor about his plan with Juan. He’s so proud of himself. He knows that Paula is in love with him. Just then the phone rings and Chelo tells him about Moni, and that he has to go home now. He leaves.

Juan who sees CL come down and go off in his car, bad mouths CL to himself for being rich and sliding one past him, and he says he’s still not convinced and believes in his Paula.

Back at the cemetery, happily chatting away on someone’s headstone, Nid wants to know how it all started. Ana tells her gradually. She asks if it didn’t bother her that he was married? She said she was disillusioned, and thought he was getting a divorce etc., but eventually she cared about him so much that she resigned herself to be the other woman. Nid asks what excuse made her think that. Ana said because he told her there was a child on the way. Nid proclaims, Marely!

Yvonne picks on Marely. Marely tells her yes, it’s her sister and so what she’s not a Zorra and leave her and me alone, let me work.

Juan recalls Fer telling him that Paula and CL are lovers and he furiously twists a magazine. He is displeased but he obviously knows deep down it must be true. And cut.

Thanks for the great recap. I liked the cemetary scene between Ana and Nidia...I don't foresee a great friendship for these two, but it was nice to see some civility.
 

Kris, thanks for the great recap!

“I think if you have to ask your maid if your husband has another woman, the cause might already be lost. But maybe that’s just me.” LOL! You have great instincts. I think you are right.

“He says maybe he has been unjust and that he should try to help more. We could start by getting to know more about you including starting with your house, how about tomorrow afternoon?” Ew. Pastor at Juan’s house. Wait until Pastor finds out that Marely is a Cachón kid and CL’s goddaughter. Juan will be up the creek again.

“Chelo and the gardener fight over who is going to find Moni for a long distance phone call. Chelo wins because she controls his food supply.” ROTFL!!!!!

“Nid tells her that she has wanted to chat with her every once in a while about Samuel and things that happened.” This smells like a trap. I just can’t picture Nidia’s personality having this much of a transplant so fast.

“Marely keeps trying to convince her to talk about it at home or over a coffee. Eventually Yadi looses it and yells at the onlookers calling them gossipers.” Poor Marely, she lives with a bunch of crazies. Her daddy was the only thing keeping her sane for so long; I hope she can stay sane with Paula close by.
