Isa spots Frankie and his "acting" parents with Steve. Isa approaches Frankie. Steve takes the fake parents away.

* Wedding ceremony ends, Aaron greets ma and pa. Minnie ignores him as she walks passed. Granny takes his hand and then Rod's, and tries to get them to make peace. She leaves. Rod is still holding a grudge against Aaron.

* Medicine man finishes his pitch, and Gavi confronts him before he has a change to sell anything. Medicine man and Gavi debate the authencity vs. false hopes of this elixir. Gavi asks administrator of the ranch for permission to examine his fields of agave for free. Medicine man speaks about G*d; Gavi speaks about research and lab reports. Gavi and Clara discuss next point to debate. Gavi convinces the fieldworkers not to believe a word from the Medicine man - just a load of falsehoods. Medicine man argues to defend himself. Gavi takes a bottle - she will have it tested at the government labs to see what it really is. She also convinces the owner to allow government inspections of fields. She continues to convince them that the Medicine man is telling lies. She forces him to leave. He tries to leave but Clara stands in his way and tells her opinions. Gavi reminds him that she will have his bottle lab tested. He orders them to step aside, picks up his pick ax, walks a few steps mores and starts to dig. Group watches.

* Wedding reception in garden. Frankie starts his "french cabaret" serenade. Sophie is enchanted by all the details as she talks with her friends. Isa glares at Frankie (like she's jealous). Minnie glances back at Isa and Rod and others at table, no one is talking, she turns back around to watch. Bruno is surprised, had no idea Frankie could sing. Isa glares as Frankie kisses his bride on the hand and they start dancing as he continues to sing. Dani smiles and tells James about Sophia and Frankie's plans to live in Japan. Dani giggles. James sits very repentant and is sad.

* Acacia cries on her front stoop at Dry Gulch Ranch and calls out, "Mr. James! Mr. James! Mr. James!"

* At nightfall, Rod asks Isa how she feels; She is irritated and starts to bit his head off. Rod says it's only a question. They discuss returning to the city together. Tequila rep comes over and talks with Rod - urgent business that he needs to be part of in town. Rod asks Isa - she says, fine, go ahead, stay at the hacienda, see you when you get back to the city. Isa is about to leave, Granny asks her to stay. She makes her excuses and leaves. Rod is stopped by Bruno to sit down and listen to him and Granny. Rod agrees to listen.

* Frankie catches Isa on path, wants to talk about the bomb she dropped on him earlier before the wedding. He wants to know what she plans to do with this tidbit of information in regards to the Montalvo family. She says don't worry, soon we will be together. Sophia interrumpts. Frankie smiles. Isa covers by saying that she was asking Frankie about the two of them becoming her and Rod's baby's godparents. Sophia is overjoyed and accepts. Frankie agrees. Isy leaves. Crispin approaches the newlyweds to present himself and give them his wedding gift - an agave family tree for Montalvo family. Frankie asks for one for his family, de la Vega.

* Dona Jose enters office looking for Clara; she was to meet with Clara and accompany her to Tequila to visit Gavi. Boss lady says too late, emergency came with Gavi and Clara rushed out immediately. Boss lady rushes out to take care of some files but lets Dona Jose stay in the office. Dona Jose, depressed, sets her bag down on the chair and starts looking at the town newspaper. She admires how handsome her son looks in the picture in the paper. Then she is impactado when she discovers her "Pancho" married a Montalvo.

* Bruno and Granny explain and apologize to Rod for all actions they took against Mariana Franco. Dani and Rod listen. Gavi says Aaron isn't bad; Dani counters with no he's just macho, greedy, etc., all because of the inheritance clause in the will. Rod says it doesn't matter to him. Dani says it does to Aaron. Bruno and Granny make final plea for Rod not to abandon the family or business. Rod agrees to think about it, on one condition that no one ever visits or cause trouble for Mariana. Granny asks Rod about his decision to separate from Isa - she begs him not to do it.

*Fedra and Aaron have a quiet intimate conversation.

* Ofelia, Roman, SWB and Carmelo talk about his "misplaced admiration" SWB. Ofelia feels sick and leaves, Roman follows away.

Thanks, J.R., good summary!
It was a good episode.
Gavi finally got her spot with the right speech, Isa spilled beans about varon, Minerva getting Aaron where SHE wants him to be and Frankie got into Montalvo family.
Rod keeps his cool and either forgives or threatens.
The last part when Frankie's mom saw his wedding announcement in a paper probably is the first step to getting the truth to Montalvos. She HAS TO brag about it to Clarita. And what a blast it would be when it comes up. But for now he will be a godfather to his own varon.

Brag about being dissed out of her only son's wedding?! I have to admit Frankie, your smile was pure radiance last night, better than Rod's best, but you're going to hell, Frankie, to hell, hell, hell. On a postive note, Gavi proved her competence in her job last night, with an informative diatribe that should have relevance beyond the telenovela world. I hope the real jimadores have access to a TV once in while.
 

Excellent summary!

What a wedding. Surely a sign of "maldita" days to come, no?
How long did Frankie practice that corny French tune? Geez..I mean the guy only knows how to say "mon petite flor" and "mon cheri", Btw..loved in a past episode when Gavi first met Frankie at that bar and he tried laying some French on her and she busted back in full-on French. He practically sank in his chair.

And lastly, the church scene where Pilar wants Aron and Drigo to make peace was hysterical. Drigo made a pretzel out of Bitchie's hand..lol!
 

Aaron constantly sounds like he has a fur ball or is wearing a shirt of 14 1/2 collar..Stop it

Rod is tied to the kid..so regarding Gavi the point is what? Moot point
 

Next thing we'll see on Aaron is the rolled up short sleeves with a pack cigarettes making him a real Mexican redneck..

Frankie, the wedding singer..Where is Marco Antonio Solis,a real singer, when you need him?

Fur ball? That actor playing Aaron is a real heavy smoker..He must have dragon breath in real life.Yuck..
 

Can someone explain why the first comment made on recaps, is under the title and can't be read? This is al the time for me. The words start "on chum" welcome to the cabaret
 

About the preview for today's episod: does anyone else find Gaviota's singing voice annoying? It seems like she's straining to sing.
 

Yes, I have difficulty understanding what Aaron says most of the time, with his mumbling and smoking voice.

Right Beckster, moot point. But, it seems these folks don't believe in moving on.

By the way, why was the medicine man digging?

I was ROFL at Frankie's singing and the looks on everyone's face as he just adored himself on stage. I don't think half of what he sang was french, he was so impressed with himself. I'd say this might be his highest point, which means he's got a long way to fall...

Previews for tonight show Aaron stating that his life with Minnie was hell, but he needs that hell to be happy, or something along this line. Also, shows him on his knee in front of Minerva. I wonder, if Aaron is backing out from marrying botox lips. Hmm, we shall see. Hey girls, I
Lulu
 

I meant to say, hey girls, I guess the miracle panites work.
Lulu
 

Actually, botox would paralyze Pam's lips--might be a good thing. As others have noted, she's got Meg Ryan Syndrome, aka excess collagen, not botox. A touch of that might be good on Gavi, but only a touch. She is one girl who needs a personal assistant to keep reapplying that lip gloss in every single scene. Otherwise her " pushing-40" status is painfully evident. I think we'll be seeing more of her this evening--looking forward to the "danza de las machetes."
 

What's happening with Destilando?
It has 3 or 4 paragraphs and all the other recaps have pages and pages.
 

I'm new as of today.....just testing the waters
 

The proper way to acknowledge a recap is to say "thank you." Not complain about its length.
 

To answer your question Anonymous Sat Aug 11, 01:53:00 PM EDT, I have been extremely busy with my off-line life. I thought I would have a chance on Friday morning to review my DVD and write up my notes but alas life had other plans.

J.R. :)
 

I finally got around to watching this episode last night - the only detail I'd like to add is that Clarita wondered aloud about Gavi having the hots for her boss (or vice versa, I don't remember), and Gavi said that her boss is married. I only mention it because I had been hoping that he and Clarita would hit it off... now I think it'd be best if they didn't. ;-)
