Destilando Amor - Aug. 2, 2007 more than chocolates and silver heart earrings
* Frankie gives Steve the engagement ring back in condo hallway. Frankie explains his plan to now mooch off Sofia and the Montalvos.
* TWB (Isa) watches the news reports about the agave fields. Rod calls from the bar. Isa is sarcastic and irritated by Rod's absence. Rod says he will be home soon, he just needs to say good-bye to an old friend. They hang up. Rod orders a double shot of tequila.
* SWB in kitchen putting seductive images in Ofelia's head about Roman's chocolate and earrings gifts. Ofelia is insulted by the images and leaves. Roman enters by the other door. He hands the bag of chocolates and earrings to SWB. Ofelia catches them as SWB happily rips open the bag and shows off the contents. Ofelia accuses Roman of cheating on her, and starts swatting at him with the broomstick. Roman, in his own defense, explains that the gifts are from Carmelo for SWB. Ofelia doesn't believe him. He leaves. SWB admires the earrings and notes that they are exactly like Ofelia's. Ofelie is impactado. (Ed. note: and I'm ROFLOL for the entire scene.)
* Gavi and Clara in restaurant, rehashing how Rod and Clara got all the stuff back. Gavi comes to understand and live with Rod's efforts on their behalf. She's still hurt by what the Montalvo family did to her.
* Rod toast Gavi with his shots of tequila.
* Carmelo comes to the hacienda. SWB greets him in front entryway. Ofelia asks him to explain about the gifts. He tells her his side of the story and what Roman told him about the misunderstanding. She's mortified and runs to find Roman. Alone, Carmelo asks SWB about the gifts. She starts to flirt with him and thought-bubbles about having a laugh at Carmelo's expense.
* In kitchen, Ofelia has to grovel and apologize to Roman for not believing him. He accepts and they hug.
*TWO MONTHS LATER:
Gavi and Clara eat at their table back at their apartment. Clara is happy for all the blessing from the virgencita. Gavi is excited for her work and the project that she working on. Gavi gathers up her papers. Clara gives her a blessings. Gavi leaves for work. Clara notes to herself that in two months Gavi hasn't mentioned Rod at all, wonders if she's forgotten all about him.
* Rod talks on phone from his bedroom about the agave field inspections with Roman at hacienda. Rod wants to be present. Rod and Isa, now 4 months and showing, talk about his trip to hacienda for business and Sofia's wedding there. Isa is irritated and worried. Rod says don't be, he's been at her side for two months now. He gives her and the baby a kiss and leaves. She stews in her worries and fears about Gavi appearing at the hacienda while Rod's there.
* Dmitri and Gavi discuss the upcoming presentations and projects for their department. Gavi explains that she has the presentation all ready to present to Roberto and the board, and has included his ideas and research. Before she leaves, Dmitri gives her a compliment and praise for her work efforts. He asks her about her outside interests. She says that likes to sing. He invites her to sing at the office. She says she prefers not to, she learned her lesson and will keep her mouth shut at the office from now on.
* Frankie and Steve are working out at the gym. They discuss his wedding plans with Sofia and what Frankie is planning for his parent's appearance.
* Sofia, Dani and Granny are at breakfast at the Mexico City mansion. Sofia is excitedly telling them about Frankie's parents' offer while they are in Japan. Granny is upset and disappointed that Sofia will be so far away. Sofia consoles her. Dani thought bubbles her growing suspicions about Frankie.
* In Miami mansion, Aaron is on the phone with Larry the snake - Aaron is growing very irritated and frustrated with Larry's inability to get his shipments made. Larry explains that Rod is every more prudent and vigilent with corporation business papers these days; he can't do anything as easily as before. Aaron reminds Larry of all the millions of dollars he's paid him already. Larry continues to explain his predicament being caught between Rod and Aaron's father, Bruno. Aaron hangs up still frustrated. Pam enters in her bathrobe and asks "Bichie" what's wrong. Aaron says business is none of her concern. He reminds her to get dressed they have to meet his mom soon at the airport. Their wedding is in 13 days. She's excited. She goes to get her things from the drawer. Aaron sits on sofa and ponders where Minnie has been the past 2 months (no word/no divorce).
* Patricio escorts Minnie back to penthouse. She thanks him for his help and friendship. They discuss her visit with her great-aunt; Sofia's wedding at the hacienda; Aaron and Pam's wedding in Miami. With mention of Aaron, Minnie gets a bad taste in her mouth and spews out her opinions of that union not working out. Aaron is a macho ego butt. Patricio drops the subject and tells Minnie if she needs anything just call. He leaves. Minnie sits and is confused.
* Bruno visits Rod at the office. Rod tells him about hacienda and inspections but he's not too worried, their fields are in the best shape. Bruno is upset by Aaron's liquidation from the company. Rod has a flashback to his conversation with Aaron about this subject. Rod briefly explains (without detail) the resolution to Bruno. They discuss Rod's trip to hacienda and Sofia's wedding. While Rod's gone, he asks Bruno to take his place at the company. Bruno is so excited and delighted and accepts the invitation. They laugh and Rod reminds Bruno not to overdo it - to listen to his doctor, Fedra and Aaron. Bruno isn't worried about Fedra and Aaron, they're too busy with Aaron's wedding plans to Pam. Rod and Bruno discuss Aaron's wedding, and that no one from Montalvo family will be attending. Rod won't attend - he has no ties to Aaron anymore, it's like he lost his brother.
* Dmitri introduces Gavi and her presentation to the Roberto and the board. They listen and ask questions to Dmitri and Gavi and look at the color handouts. Roberto is very impressed and approves of the presentation. Roberto compliments Gavi - Gavi and board members leave. Roberto and Dmitri discuss Gavi's work at the department - Dmitri is very impressed. Roberto tells him about Gavi's background as an agave fieldworker and that makes her the perfect person to work with the other fieldworkers on this project.
* Rod meets with Sofia and Frankie at Granny's mansion. They discuss the wedding plans and Frankie's job in Japan. Rod leaves to find Dani. Sofia shows Frankie the full-page color ad about Aaron and Pam's wedding in the CARAS magazine. She's a little jealous of her cousin. Frankie says don't worry about it, their announcement will be even better and in Japanese. Sofia gives him a sad puppy dog look about leaving her family. He caves in and says he will cancel the Japan job and look for possible work offers in Mexico.
* Roberto and Dmitri tell Gavi that she will go on the trip with Dmitri to talk with the fieldworkers and hacienda owners. Gavi is surprised. Dmitri says the flight leaves later today for Guadalajara. Gavi is enchanted to return to the fields, she has so many happy memories of herself and her mama Clara there.
* Rod talks with Dani and remembers Gavi and tells his little sister about Gavi's life and work now. He has to resist the urge to call her on the phone. He misses her so much. Dani gives him a hug.
* Gavi packs and explains to Clara about her trip to the agave fields. They are happy; Clara mentions Rod. Gavi blows it off and says that he and Bruno are in charge of Montalvo Corp. now. Clara imagines the fields of agave again. Gave asks about her cassette tape that she made at the cantina for Rodrigo. Clara hasn't seen it, maybe it got tossed in the trash. Gavi says to continue to look for it. Gavi closes her suitcase and is ready to go. Clara tells her to give her old friends greetings from Clara. Gavi promises. Clara gives Gavi one final spin around before blessing her. Clara cries, she wants to go too. Gavi consoles her, explains that this is for her work. Clara continues to cry. Gavi promises when she arrives in Tequila, she'll send for Clara to join her. Clara smiles and is excited by the idea. As Gavi is about to go, Clara cries. Gavi consoles Clara. Gavi leaves. Clara mumbles to herself.
* In Miami, Aaron has a long distance phone conversation with Patricio in Mexico. Aaron is agitated and angry that no one from the family will attend his wedding. Patricio politely explains that Sofia's wedding is being held at the hacienda. Aaron is welcome to come but alone. Aaron goes ballistic that he can't bring Pam with him. Aaron refuses to attend Sofia's wedding - Patricio says Granny will be so disappointed but he will pass along the message anyway. Aaron asks about Minnie. Patricio vaguely briefly explains about Minnie's return to Mexico. Aaron yells and screams that he needs to talk with her ASAP. Aaron hangs up to take a phone call on another phone. Aaron declines the interview and hangs up the other phone. He grumbles to himself about Minnie in a nativity festival ball.
* Johnny sits with Pam and Fedra and they plan the wedding. Pam explains her idea for putting acrylic over the pool for the dance floor - Fedra says to add candle lights floating on the water underneath. Pam wants lots and lots of flowers. Aaron comes in and asks Pam about the music playing. Pam answers. Aaron shouts and storms out to turn off that noise. Pam tells Fedra about Aaron's lousy mood lately, especially in regards to Mexico. She asks Fedra to talk to him. Johnny backs up Pam. Fedra leaves as Aaron shouts at the servant to turn off the noise and give him some whiskey. Pam tells Johnny she hopes Fedra can get through to Aaron and calm him down.
* In garden, Fedra stops Aaron. They have a shouting match. Aaron vents his frustrations and anger with all the bad news he's been receiving. Fedra tells him that's life and to calm down and help plan his wedding with Pam, or is it about Minnie again. Aaron paces and explains that it's more than just Minnie. It's that his family, especially his own father, won't be attending his wedding. He won't be attending Sofia's wedding for this reason as well as that he would have to go alone without Pam. Fedra is impactado. Aaron continues that he doesn't really care about Minnie or what she's doing now. He also isn't interested in all the bells and details for the wedding - he's only interested in marrying Pam and having a son. Pam comes outside to see what's happening. Aaron leaves. Fedra explains Aaron's mood is about his family. Pam asks about Minnie - Fedra says there's been no word or news about her in months. Pam's worried.
* Minnie sits in her bedroom and reads the ad announcing Aaron and Pam's wedding. She rips it out of the magazine and crumples it in her hands.
* James and Acacia walk back to the hacienda house all lovey-dovey like. Her mood changes as they see the police truck waiting outside the front gate. Police chief and his assistant are inquirying about Meliton - it's been several months and no word from him at all. James and Acacia tell story about Meliton taking his things and quietly leaving and going to the beach to live in peace. The police officers accept the story and leave. Acacia is nervous.
* Back at the ranch, Rod and Roman are in the office discussing inspections and the agave fieldworkers. (Ed. note: Rod is in his black jeans and I must say, "NICE BUTT!") Roman tells Rod about Hilario's new work and life in the city. As Rod talks, Roman thought-bubbles how will he ever explain that Hilario left the hacienda because he's in love with Isa. Rod asks Roman to have Ofelia bring him a cup of coffee. Roman tells Rod welcome back to the hacienda Montalve~a. Rod says thanks as he looks out his office window at the fields below. Rod mutters to himself, "Welcome back, to my home, my refuge, all this reminds me of you, Gaviota."

On a side note, I cannot wait for the roof to fall down on Isa. It has to right? Who will reveal her infidelities and bastard child? Aaron, Hilario, Francisco????? The suspense is killing me.
I was surprised to read a few days ago that there may be two more months or so left to be seen. I am a teacher and will be back in the saddle by the end of August, and I was hoping that the series would end before I get really busy with preparation and grading again. Does anyone know when this telenovela will finish?
Muchas gracias,
Magarita Maria, la peliroja
I do want to wait for the story to unfold. I did find a youtube site that has parts of both earlier and later chapters, so I did see a few scenes with Isa feeding a baby! Yuuch, when will the truth come out about the child's father??
Also, I went to the Caray homepage and found the 8/1 recap. Oh so much fun, I'll be sipping a margarita tonight while watching.

peliroja: I agree with Destilando Cafe that you should continue watching, even if you have to record the episodes and have a marathon on the weekends! We are on esmas.com's May 24th Mexican episode equivalent. It sometimes includes scenes that would be part of the next day's episode and is only a bare outline.
What did Frankie's "parents" supposedly offer?
LOL at Aaron threatening to run off anyone who plays tropical music again. What a drip!
Poor Pam will be living in un infierno with Aaron. She's not as tough as Minerva.
The jimadores hardly looked up when Gavi took off her shades and announce who she was (in preview).
Lead balloon time! LOL. Maybe she'll start singing and they'll gather 'round and cheer her.
I am looking forward to the Rod and Gavi reunion in the agave fields.
Please.
Thank you.

His "parents" are going to be a couple of actors he hired who look enough like him to play the part and will sit up in the first row with silly fool Pilar.
I think Frankie mentioned that he hired somebody to play roles of his parents during the wedding and hi said to Doña Pillar that his parents are somewhere on a trip and only could make back right before the wedding. What a slime bag!
Dani was really suspicious when Frankie was talking, may be now, after all of the Gravi's' investigations are completed, she can dig something about Frankie.

When Aaron (Sergio?) was in La Esposa Virgen, didn't he have an evil mother there? You can tell that his punishment is coming.
Sometimes the main story line gets a little dull and repetitive, but this TN is so rich in minor characters. There's usually some litte entertaining bit each episode.
I can hardly wait to see Frankie's fake parental units, hoping they mess up in some way and betray him.
Hmm. Those words look familiar. I think I've posted this before. I think I need a nap.
Eve
it's so good to be back.

As for deleting posts - as far as I know, the only people who can delete their own posts are people who are members of this blog (recappers) who were logged in when they made their comments.
Thanks so much for the recap JR and welcome back.
