Destilando Amor, 09/14/07: Pow Wow at Pilar's
Aaron warns his barren bitcher, Minerva, that there's only a little while left till his granddad's letter is opened and she needs to get pregnant or he'll find another bitchin' babe to produce one for him instead! In fact, scratch that! At the family meeting they'll tell everyone they're expecting again and he'll worry about the details later, he says, and goes back to sleep.
========
It is sunrise on the sandy soil of Montalveña once more. Sofia goes in to wake up sissy-in-law, Isadora, for the plane trip to Mexico City.
Speaking of bitchin' babes, Isa is pretty pasted after a late night's feral fornicatin' with Frankie on the farina bags. Sofia complains that her Frog Prince came home late again last night and is even more dead to the world than Isa is. Isa slyly smiles to herself and savors the memory of savage sex in the storehouse with Sofia's now snoring spouse. (Cut the girl a little slack. We all know she hadn't been gettin' any since last Christmas and now that her figure is back.....)
Isa, still dressed in her teddy-wear and showing a true lack of class, follows Sofia into their bedroom while Frankie is being prodded awake. Frankie says he's got pesticide spraying to oversee and will have to fly in later to the D.F. and then goes into the bathroom to shower and shave. Sofia picks up Frankie's pile of clothes from the night before and remarks to Isa how filthy they look, and then sees his buttons are all ripped off his shirt. Jealousy overtakes Missus Priss and she complains that Frankie must have been doing the nasty with some slut. Isa says he'd be incapable of that and more than likely it was a bar-room brawl.
Frankie looks himself over in the mirror and sees he's got two big hickeys on his neck. He is all smiles and probably wondering if he remembers where Sofia unpacked his ascots.
=======
Gavi receives the seagull painting from Rodrigo and reads the romantic inscription on the card:
"Gaviota, if it is true that I am the only man in your life then hang
this painting in your office. It represents our essence, and every
time you reflect on it, be certain that I'll be thinking of you.
-- Love, Rodrigo"
She and Nancy decide to hang it up immediately over the wall behind her desk.
==========
Sofia calls Rodrigo to find out if he knows why Pilar called for the family dinner. He has no clue and says wait till she gets there. She also puts in a word for Isa and suggests she deserves a "hearing" of some sort. He says he'll talk with Isa afterward and hangs up. Isa comes downstairs and asks what he said about her, but Sofia says only that he'll discuss things with her afterwards. He didn't even complain to Sofia and she at least thought he would gripe a little, but not a word. Isa gets nervous.
Back in Mexico City, Alonso comes in late to work after having been to the lab for some medical tests. While Gavi is gone to get him a little breakfast he notices the painting. Nancy glances over from the doorway and sees him read the note that Rod sent with it.
Over at Montalvo Corp. Margarita comes in with the first formally packaged bottle of Ardent Passion tequila and she asks Rod about the lips on the label. Dani walks in just then and explains they're her pal, Mariana Franco's. She leaves to have the bottle of tequila delivered to Gavi at the CRT with his card.
Dani starts to tell Rod about Avellaneda's visit to Grammy's house the night before and the reason.
At the CRT another package arrives for Gavi. This time it's a beautiful set of little tequila vials in book form. She reads the passionate declaration on the card:
"Few times has giving a book about tequila meant so much to me.
Through it you'll discover the poetry of tequila. I know that you'll enjoy
it and I hope it will become one of your favorites. The reading is so
pleasant that one can only compare it to the delight one gets from the
flavor of a good tequila. I wish that through these aromas you perceive
the relationship that exists so closely between tequila and love.
--Alonso"
Gavi is one impactada Gal Friday, cuz it's crystal clear the type of burning passion cool Alonso is capable of and has kept hidden from her until now. (SSSSSSSteamy!!)
=======================
Rod tells Dani that even though Gavi took the delayed divorce in stride, she put all sorts of restrictive conditions on their relationship for the duration: bottom line -- no romantic encounters and no mixing in her work relationship with her boss as long as he stays with his wife. Dani laughs and asks if he was expecting a sea of tears since he's lucky she didn't just tell him to go to Hell and never darken her door again.
Rod admits it would have been nice to have Gavi grieve a bit, but what really aggravates the bejesus outta him is that Professor Wonderful will have her to himself 12 hours a day and cannot help but eventually succeed in winning her affections. Amorous Alonso will have 1080 hours' worth of advantage to woo her while he will be restricted to "Hi 'n G'bye" which equates to 1076 hours of pure risk for him over these next 90 days. (Maybe that's why they call it penance, Burly Bear.)
Back at the CRT Gavi thanks Alonso for the book he sent and he tells her it was nothing, that it is just his way of doing things and he hopes it's useful to her. He smiles and asks her before she leaves to start putting flowers in his office again; as long as she waters and sings to them he knows it cannot turn into an abandoned tomb.
Nancy tells Gavi that while she was in talking to Dr. S., Rod called to see how she liked the painting and that their boss read the note that Rod sent with it. Gavi tells Nancy that it was Dr. S. and not Rod who sent the second gift. Nancy says it looks like the two guys may end up punching each other out over her.
==========
Back in the middle of the Montalvo mescal, Frankie tells the farmhands to stop mixing the copper sulfate since he's got his own consultant, Basilio, who is an agricultural advisor in the area and who will be in charge of mixing it. He makes a big show of wanting to be exact about the pesticide formulation to ensure nothing happens to the crop. However, Basilio should be wearing a black hat instead of a white one cuz he's going to be diluting it for Frankie and keeping it quiet from the Montalvo's.
========
Videgaray, loyal legal eagle turned legal beagle, returns with the bank information about Ricardo Duarte that Rod wanted investigated. He reports that the bank would authorize the loan guarantee for Ricardo, but it's only a verbal agreement, never put into writing. The banker would give his pal, Ricardo, the loan but only if he fails to pay off the debt in three months when it's finally due. That, Videgaray says, is possibly Rod's last resort, his only means of salvation. But then, they have to trust they can keep things on an even keel until then.
Across town Daddy lies to Princesa about being able to pay off his debt to Rod. He explains why she cannot separate from her husband now: that if she would divorce Rod he'd no longer have any moral obligation to repay his loan and Rod would have to come up with it all. The creditors would fall all over Daddy, and they'd take all the hacienda's profits for the next year and would seize ownership of the plantation and all family bank accounts till the debt was paid in full. Of course that would mean then that he and Mommy Dearest would have to flee the country like a couple of thieves in the night and they'd be penniless. The Montalvo's would not just stand there with their arms crossed, either. They'd exact some kind of vengeance on Princesa and Daddy. (God knows what that means in a country like Mexico.) She tells him that now she understands why Rod seemed so calm and cool about all of this.
==========
Over the phone Fedra and Minnie discuss the situation with Susana and the CRT and Pilar's possible motives for the family dinner that night. Fedra, with another signature eye-roll, tells Minnie to tell Isa not to let the old battle axe intimidate her, that they all will support her in all of it.
Later on, during a rehearsal, Dani makes a call to Gavi and apologizes for her brother's actions the other night. She was only trying to help because it seems every time the two of them get back together somebody or something else manages to separate them. Gavi admits that Rod did act like a rampaging bull and she was forced to race after him to explain that there was absolutely nothing going on between her and her boss, but then afterward he calmed down and became the handsome honey she had fallen in love with early on. She just has one favor to ask and that is for Dani not to try helping her out anymore, please.....
Sofia tries to get Grammy P to spill the beans about the reason for the family dinner, but Grammy won't budge. Finally Pilar gets pestered to the point that she at least admits she is angry at her for being the others' accomplice.
Gavi and Nancy go over the list of invitees for the upcoming tequila gala. Pilar, Dani and Bruno get a check, "yes". Aaron's name comes up then and Gavi admits she's had more than her fill of the guy, and she has no other alternative but to put up with him for the evening. On the other hand, his spider of a wife, Minerva, can spend her evening spinning webs for him at home. Fedra also is x'd off.
Then comes Francisco de la Vega and Sofia next. Gavi says that his name sounds so familiar, but she can't place it. However, he's part of the men so he can come. Again, the wife, Sofia, is blackballed. Rod of course must be there, but Isadora, she says after a look at the painting behind her on the wall, will never set foot in the CRT again while she is still working there.
Nancy warns her that those Montalvo women are crafty and will not take a snub like this sitting down. Gavi's says her patience is exhausted and these women have hounded her, pushed her to the point of starvation and poverty, mopped the floor with her good name and professional reputation and with the exception of Pilar and Dani, are more dangerous than a bag full of poisonous snakes. She tells Nancy to remember that if their schemes had worked, neither of them would still have their jobs now. Just to play it safe, though, she wants Nancy to take the list for a final review to Dr. Santoveñia to get his approval.
Avellaneda comes in afterward and tells Mariana about his visit to Pilar's house the night before and how he gave her the rundown on the escapades of the past few months. He says he knows Pilar to be a woman of principle who will not allow her husband's name to be dragged through the mud this way.
Mariana goes in to Alonso a bit later to explain her reason for refusing to put the Montalvo wives on the guest list. She asks if he wants a harmonious and pleasantly dignified affair or a food fight with the Montalvo women. If he really thinks they should be invited she will organize everything and then leave before it starts. He'll have to be in charge of it for the evening by himself.
Alonso figures Gavi's got a point and, definitely wanting her there and no doubt for personal reasons, he approves the list and says he'll take responsibility for whatever backlash there might be afterward as the music turns menacing and the camera goes into slow-mo.
================
Rod arrives home that evening and comes upstairs to ask if Isa is ready to leave with him for the meeting at Pilar's. Isa sarcastically asks him what time the lynching takes place and accuses him of enjoying the little trial his grandmother has planned for her. He says she shouldn't go if she doesn't feel like it. The family would understand why she's not able to face them all.
Isa asks why Rod doesn't seem upset and he answers there's no reason since he's used to this from her by now. She and Minnie both, daily, put the family through something major. He's not upset, though, because nothing she's done to harm Mariana Franco has worked. Luck, he snickers, is just not on her side these days.
Isa gets upset with Rod and asks why he doesn't complain. He asks if she means, now, here, kick up a fuss so then he would ask her for a divorce; they would take advantage of the family meeting to have her parents come and all together they could discuss how they've decided to get a divorce? Rod says it's fine if she doesn't go with him; he'll know she wants the divorce and again we've got the perfect Mexican stand off, since Isa is just as obligated to stick around another 90 days in hopes that Daddy gets his loan and frees up Rod's fortune, thus assuring her 50% so she can run off to "Paradise" with freeloading Frankie.
Isa sits on her bed and whines that she wishes she was the hell away from there and never had to see Rodrigo Montalvo's face again.
=======
The family has pretty much all arrived at Pilar's, but she refuses to come down to greet them. Aaron assures Bruno that Agave Turquesa had rebounded and is once again making money. He says he plans to relocate the company's home office there in Mexico again. Rod arrives next and is visibly upset to see Aaron and relays it with one majorly mean scowl. He turns and greets Minnie with a snide remark about not having to ask what she's been doing with herself lately cuz he already knows.
Aaron greets his cousin and tells him he's back on top again and is planning to put his offices in the Montalvo headquarters. He'll show him what making money really is! Rod looks like he's thinking, "In a pig's eye," but instead says politely, "We'll see later on."
Elvis walks over to Rod and asks how he liked the painting and if he has it up at the office. Rod says no, he found a "better place" to keep it, but doesn't get specific. Right then Frankie walks in and Aaron makes an aside to his dad pretty much like "Look what the wind blew in...." (literally, here comes the lint). Frankie greets everyone but Elvis.
The Frog Prince goes to Rod right away and exclaims that he was so diligently overseeing the spraying of pesticides that he nearly missed the flight because of it. Just then Elvis walks over and remarks to Frankie how calloused his hands are looking these days and how his features resemble a farm hand's, toughened from all those long hours in the fields tending so carefully to their little pieces of land.
Of course, the irony and sarcasm are lost on Frankie and the only thing he thinks to say to Rod is something about whether Elvis now owns a piece of the land since he's probably marrying Dani. Rod says no, and next time he sees Elvis, if perhaps Frankie would greet him, then he just might scale back the mocking 'tude. Aaron suggests it's just an example of "black humor" and its double meaning is not lost on Elvis, even if it is on Aaron and Frankie. With a sly look over at Aaron, "You got it, man!" Elvis answers, becoming the second unassuming man of mystery in this story.
Next Elvis walks over to see Li'l Ricky and remarks it's been months, and that he's a handsome kid but still doesn't look a thing like Rodrigo. Rod walks over and frowns, "You think it's too soon for that, maybe?" Elvis says something else just as cheeky about being black, but Isa tells Elvis to can it; and Dani tells Elvis not to pay attention to her because aside from other things, Isa has a rotten sense of humor. Isa shoots dagger looks at her kid sister-in-law. Dani smirks and leaves to get Pilar.
==========
That night at home, Gavi tells her mother about what Avellaneda came to her office to tell her and how he visited Pilar Montalvo to warn her off, and how Alonso was supporting her move to exclude the Montalvo wives from the gala. Clarita, though, gets lost in her own thoughts and remembers her last conversation with Don Amador before he died; and how she took his hand and kissed it as he looked lovingly at her.
=======
Pilar comes down into the living room and talks about the pride she has had in the Montalvo family for 60 years, wearing the name proudly as Amador always won the respect of both worker and dignitary alike through his wisdom and sense of justice. Though her sons and grandsons have continued to act in the same dignified manner, she cannot say that about their wives. Thus she received a visit from Robert Avellaneda the night before, during which he related to her the despicable actions of both Minerva and Isadora and the chaos they were able to cause over at the CRT.
Pilar explains about the subterfuge with Susana, Avellaneda's secretary, and reminds them all that she warned them to leave Mariana Franco alone. However, Avellaneda told her that because of them not only had they almost caused Mariana to lose her job, but also that of her immediate supervisor (not to mention Nancy, the lowly secretary, Pilar), so now she feels shamed because of this visit.
Bruno is beside himself with anger as he listens to the tale his momma has to tell and exclaims --all together now: "No puede ser!" Huff. Puff. "Why, it can't be!"
Pilar continues that Mariana had wanted to resign but that Avellaneda had gone to the officials at the CRT and left it up to them. They came back saying they supported Mariana completely and so she would not be leaving. "So, accept your defeat. This hardworking, simple young woman has won and she did it with all the class and intelligence that you lack."
Pilar continues, "He also came with a warning that you are not to ever attempt anything like this again. If you do, I will not hesitate to act against even my own family."
Finally one of those darned flying anvils has landed on top of Minnie-puss and her posse..........

Thanks, Jardinera. Your recaps are the greatest. I enjoy seeing the Montalvo clan all gathered together, even for a dressing-down by granny Pilar. Our Gavi was looking prettier last night than she has in a while--maybe she got a good night's sleep or a respite from the grueling shooting schedule those slave drivers at Televisa put their actors through. (I hear it was a wrap in Mexico about ten days ago--gran final TOMORROW! If I were Angelica, I'd take a long, long vacation.) Thanks again, your recap is especially appreciated 'cuz I missed the first ten minutes.
I forgot to mention, over on YouTube is a video of most of the cast arriving at their hotel in Tequila to film the gran final. It's pouring down rain, and Jose Luis Resendez's luggage got lost. You can see the actors going into their rooms which display their character's names--Martha Roth looks amazingly young in oversize sunglasses standing next to Fernanda Castillo. Somebody's eating french fries--might be Ana Martin, who, in a separate interview indicates she wants to take a break after five novelas in row.
Jardinera - Thanks for a most illustrative and alliterative recap. It was lots of laughs and so good.
I was glad to see Elvis' painting show up as a gift to Gaviota, especially with her namesake flying high and center. Even the dimwitted but devious Isa would have gotten the reference and tried to destroy it. Some clever turns of the screw on this capitulo's plot and some new buried time bombs that we can look forward to soon.

Very Nice recap...I am glad the hickey was shown...flashbacks, I had the same smirk as Frankie, however I was sixteen.
Pilar never let them see you blink..she has won every stare down contest since the first grade..she is olympic caliber.
When we were watching the episode I told my husband (the guy Frankie is cahoots with, the one that works at the ranch), he is looks really authentic from the ranch. He'd be the local good looking guy.

Destilando Cafe: I could not find the video you refer to on YouTube after entering it on their search toolbar. Any help finding it will be appreciated. And thank you again Jardinera for your fabulous translation. No matter how hard I try, I miss half of what is said even though I use the captions. All of you recappers make this novela so much fun and help me so much with my Spanish! EMO

Thanks, Jardinera, for that excellent recap. The note that Rodrigooo sent to Gavi with the painting was sooo romantic. Whataguy. When hub and I were married, his uncle had an artist friend paint a picture of my parents' farm because hub was ''taking me away from the farm.'' Hub's uncle [whom everyone calls Popeye ...instead of his given name Sherwood] is a big tease , so I was expecting a joke, but the picture was lovely. It remains one of the best gifts I've ever received. I can see Gavi and Rodrigooo's children looking at Elvis's picture someday when it hangs over the fireplace in the hacienda. Anyhoo, things are heating up. I can't wait for the anvil to land on Frankie's hickey. He is such an amoral womanizer.

Anon 10:58--This is where I found a video from a Mexican TV station interviewing the cast as they arrived to film the final.
Susanlynn--Yes, Francisco is a womanizer, but far more reprehensible is his treatment of his mother, and betrayal of Rodrigo's trust and striking at all that he holds sacred, endangering the agave crop for a few bucks.

I had a little trouble finding the exact Youtube clip until I used the search words Finale and Destilando Amor. About 8 clips came up of which 5 or 6 were bits from La Oreja show. Two were phony knowing people would jump to them but the others are worth seeing. So try searching with key words.
Still suffering from reverse jetlag.
This was not as interesting a capítulo as last week's, more or less a set up episodio for next week's hijinx; and God only knows what evil lurks in the minds of las mujeres de Montalvo and what we're in for. I saw that painting enscription of Rod's and wondered what evil deeds of Aaron and Minnie will lead to Gavi taking down that painting in another fit of "non-communicado" so that she'll be dating Alonso for a while.
It's a 2 hr. fin in Mexico this weekend and I bet lots of folks are peeking ahead at it..... Angelica looks even thinner than she did at the beginning of the show and wondered if it's been taking a toll on the entire cast who've all looked like they've lost 10 lbs.
As for the alliteration sometimes the strings just come and you got to go with it. Believe it or not, they are fun mental exercises and relax me as I get involved in the actual body of the story. Other people probably have a variety of "tricks" of their own, I'm sure.

Question: Did anyone wonder if Alonso had already arranged by messenger for the tequila book to arrive that morning or did he get the idea, not wanting to be bested by another man, least of all, a Montalvo, after he noticed the painting and read Rod's inscription? As head of the P.R. dept. for the CRT, his job is to be at the beck and call of the members. Essentially he works for the likes of Rodrigo Montalvo.
Personally, I like the subtle, silent, unassuming romantic types who hide their interest behind the reading of "important documents".

I assumed that the tequila "book" (which I would have drunk in five minutes) was a direct response to Rodrigo's gift. :)
I got a lot of satisfaction from Pilar's righteous indignation. I remember what she was like at the very beginning of this novela, looking down her nose at the workers and especially at the one who sang in the fields.
As for Clarita's flashback... I still don't think it's exactly what it looks like. I think something bad happened to Clarita, and Don Amador took her side.

Jardinera - excellent recap.
I have loved Pilar's fire in the last few episodios. And I'm glad we've moved on from Rod & Gavi fighting, it was getting really old for me.
I too saw Alonso's gift as a competitive move against Rod. Good for him! But even if we didn't know the probable ending of the story, I would bet against Alonso winning Gavi. She's way too fiery for him. She would either burn him or get bored or both.
Susanlynn - the question wasn't directed to me, but I watched the first half of Highlander: The Source and that was enough for me. I love Adrian Paul and I loved the Highlander tv series, but this - muy mal, IMHO.

Unrelated to Destilando but a message for Susanlynn...
Susanlynn , if I could name my boat 'Fernando Colunga' then, in addition to your excellent suggestions, I could also say things like:
1) I'll be busy all weekend giving Fernando Colunga a bottom job.
2) Fernando Colunga performs much better when I ease the sheets a little.
3) Fernando Colunga's got the tallest mast in the marina.
If I think of any more...

Sylvia -
Your boat love with Fernando reminds me of my favorite yacht name when I lived in Boston: It was called "Sailbad the Sinner". Keep thinking, you're doing a great job so far.

Haha, Sylvia^^^I knew that you would not let me down. My guess is thst this challenge for oneliners will be on your mind for a while. It might be like a game I used to play with my kids in which you try to give clues for a 2 word phrase that rhymes [ex. skinny horse = bony pony , distant planet = far star,etc] My kids used to say, ''ok, Mom , you can STOP now,''...but I couldn't. ..midnight garden = dark park...Uh-oh here we go again. What did you think of the preview for PIRATES ? How did you like Fernando's transformation from PIRATE to bon vivant ? I think I spotted Orlando [incapacitado of Duelo] as the guy with long hair who looked like Daniel Day Lewis in last of the Mohicans . In the preview, he hit Camilla. Also I think the guy played Francisco [father of the 3 young dudes in Heridas] was the guy who ran Santiago through. I'm also pretty sure Marcelo Cordoba is the servant with the white wig who bids on Camilla at the slave auction for the really old rich guy. Also Kika Edgar was Adolfosolis's wife in Amor Real. So, any more Fernando the boat phrases for me ?

Thanks for the Alt-characters, Jardinera. I use the US International keyboard setting (Windows) on my personal machine, which makes it a lot easier to enter these characters at home, but I prefer to keep my work computer set to US English.
No HL for me last night, Susanlynn - I completely forgot!!
No HL for me last night, Susanlynn - I completely forgot!!
Julie: You're welcome. I got this combo from the Spanish teacher who was European, and multi-lingual, so I guess that means the top half of the numbers are one thing and the bottom another? Wouldn't know, but I am set to US Eng. also, so I have to use the alt keys to apply them as my keyboard is pretty old.
; > ))

Welcome back, Jardinera.
I picked up on them saying that Alonso had been to the doctor having tests. And now you mention the tomb. Could it be we could lose him? Interesting thought.

Thank you, Jardinera. When I was a fulltime translator, I had that cheat sheet next to my PC, then I went to a Mac for a few years and totally forgot the whole routine. BTW, I read the whole gran final summary on esmas.com this morning, so I think I'll be rejoining the novela. . .oh, maybe in November. Enjoy the roller coaster ride. For the next novela, I hope we get parity with Mexico in the timeframe department! It's not fair!
Great recap, Jardinera! Granny Pilar laying down the law to the evil witches was great. I also enjoy Elvis' calm self-possession.
