Destilando, Tuesday Sept 18....the witches get what they deserve.

The witches call Dr Coffee; they're very offended that they haven't been invited. Minnie takes the lead on the phone; not wasting an opportunity to talk badly about Mariana. Alonso says he will take their complaints in consideration, but he's sure something bad must have happened for them not to get invited. Minnie is offended by this "Oh yeah?? Well, how about this: the whole family Montalvo will boycott the event!". The rest of the witches are shocked, particularly Sofia who doesn't think Minnie should have said that as she knows the husbands won't miss it. But Fedra and Minnie believe that if the women are offended in any way, the men will stand by their side. Ah, I can't wait for them to talk to their husbands. Especially Aron, who will probably use this as an opportunity to charm all the desperate women at the event. So anyhoo, the witches decide they're better off getting Pilar on their side. They decide to talk to her to brainwash her about Gavi and the magnitude of her offense.


At the CRT, Alonso and Gavi are shocked. Gavi didn't think it would go that far with the witches, they're scared about what Avellaneda will say. Nancy wants to cry; before she gets to start, Dr coffee asks her to please keep calm. hmmm... I'm starting to like him.


At the corp, Gavi calls asking for Rod. Margarita tells her he left. Gavi asks Marg if the men have mentioned any issues with the invitations. Marg says everything is OK, and she will keep Gavi posted.


We get an image of Hilario at the hacienda, singing. I didn't know he could sing that well!! Anyhoo, its Roman, remembering when Hilario used to clean his horse while singing. He thinks: my son, you used to be a humble man, but you threw your dignity in the trash when you went to the city. Ofelia comes bye, and tries to persuade him to look for his son and listen to him. She's sure Hilario is going through a hard time. Roman swears that the patron's wife is a decent woman. Ofelia tells him to stop being so harsh and forgive him. He leaves.


We get a commercial about Marco Antonio Solis... I'm sure many of our female visitors are very happy about that :)


Back in Mexico City, Hilario goes to visit Clarita. She starts talking about his commercials on TV. Hilario gives her a gift....its a box of sweets. She asks him what he wants to drink. He says cognac...boy these people can drink. She doesn't know what that is. He mentions Paris. C: Paris, capital of France??? He says he'll have whatever she has...and of course..she has tequila. They talk about Roman. Hilario is sad "my dad already buried me. He's embarrassed that I'm a model. I won't look for him anymore".


At the hacienda, Ofelia is praying to God, asking for Roman and Hilario to come back together.


Gavi and Dani are on the phone; Gavi asks Dani if the witches already went to talk to dona Pilar. Gavi wants to give her version to Pilar. Dani will try to get her an appointment. Pilar walks in; Dani tells her that she's sure the witches will come talk to her soon, but that she needs to first talk to Gavi. At first, Pillie doesn't want to talk to her; she wants Gavi to leave them alone. Dani convinces her to talk to Gavi. Pillie is impactada in thoughtful mode.


Gavi tells Dr Coffee that she's going to talk to Dona Pilar. She takes full responsibility of the situation. Dr Coffee says he's in this with her. Gavi gets a phonecall; Nancy says it's from 'your sis in law'. Dr Coffee: sis in law?? Gavi: eh...hehe... that's just how Rod's sister calls me. Gavi answers... she's happy that Pillie wants to see her; they agree to meet at 6 PM. Dr coffee wants to come with her. She says no, this conversation will not only be professional, but also personal. Dr Coffee says OK, but no matter what happens you have my support.


Gavi and Pillie are at a coffee shop. Pillie admits never liked with how Aron fired Gavi. Gavi blames herself for lying. Gavi complains how the witches don't ever leave her alone. Pillie wants to stay out of these issues. Gavi says she doesn't care about the witches; she wants Pillie to understand her. G: I must confess, that I decided to not invite Isa, Minnie, Fedra, and your grandchild Sofia. Pillie, impactada: porque!


Back at the hacienda...Sofia and the witches are talking to Dani. They want to see Pillie. Dani says Pillie is having coffee with an old friend. The witches comment how they don't understand what Gavi has against them. Sofie and Isa actually feel like they never did anything to deserve this.


Pillie and Gavi talk; Gavi has told Pillie the whole story (we don't get to see that part). Gavi says Avellaneda and CRT are not at fault; she doesn't want them to pay the consequences of her own issues. But Pillie needs to understand that Gavi wouldn't feel comfortable doing her job if the witches are there, because they tried to harm her in the past in every possible way, shape or form. If they show up, they will start a war and she wants to avoid getting in a fight with them. She know she won't be able to control herself. Gavi: But if Minnie is saying the truth, and you all decide not to come, Rod wil be the most affected. If you don't change ur mind Dona Pillie, I will quit, because I won't let you break your relationship with CRT because of me. Dona Pillie, dont take it the wrong way. For me it's important because I've had to fight for this job that I have. If there's anything I'm proud of, its my mom and my job. I am decided to renounce my job for you, but especially for Rod, because he's fought for his product and I don't want his future to be damaged because of me. I'll quit as long as Rod doesn't lose this opportunity. Pillie: do you love my grandson? Gavi: yes, I will love him all my life, and I will respect him, you and his wife even if his wife is making my life miserable. Pilar: Gavi, Rod won't miss the event. Gavi, happy: I need you to go, because Rod needs your support there. Pillie promises she will go and make sure no bad incidents will happen with the family. Pillie: But don't confuse this by thinking that I am supporting your relationship with Rod. I hope from now on we will have no more problems. Gavi: there will be no more problems, I promise.


At home, Rod is cooing Ricky....'goo goo when are you going to call me dad??? ga ga...'


At the hacienda, Ofelia is mad at Sanwanna. She she's been gone all day and didn't help her with the duties. Roman: Ofelia, be careful what you say to her cuz that girl is close to the patrona Isadora.


In Mexico DF, Hilario is nostalgic watching TV. The doorbell rings, he goes to the door, and stares. Its Sanwanna, uttering her typical 'quiubole Hilario'!!! sigh sigh. Hilario looks at her, and the memories come back for a second as he devours her with his lusty eyes and smiles. H: how did you get here?? How did you know?? S: I saw your number on the phone when you called this morning!! And I called back, and asked the maid for your address and came to find you! wow, you live in a palace!!


Dani and Rod are chatting on the phone about the witches. Dani asks for the name of the doctor that inseminated Isa...'cuz..ehm....Elvis' sis cannot get pregnant and I just wanted to help her. Uh, gotta go bro... the witches are with here'...dani comes into the living room, where the witches are with Pillie. Sofie tells Dani they want to talk to her, ehm, in private.


At Hilario's apt, he's uncomfortable and tries to tell sanwanna that he doens't really....Sanwanna, cuts him off, taking a big gulp of his cognac... "hmm, what r u drinking?? R u still mad at me?? I'm sorry, I was jealous!! I still love you!". H: sorry, I've made my life here and I don't feel anything for you. S: well, I came to make peace with you, and my trip will not be in vain.


The witches try to convince Pillie of how offended they are by Gavi and Dr Coffee. Sofie, talks about the embarrassment to which they will be subject. Fedra wants her to protest against the CRT. Minnie wants her to tell them that they will not come in. Pillie says she won't do anything, cuz CRT has all the right to prohibit entrance to ungrateful women. The witches are shocked. Pillie continues: "and if you had pride you'd keep quiet about it!" . Minnie says: ah, so that means you're against us just to support the maldita Gaviota!!


Gavi comes home, and tells clarita she talked to Pillie.

Rod is calling the CRT checking on Gavi. Nancy says Gavi left, ALONE, and her boss is here at work. Wanna talk to him? Rod says no, it's OK.

Gavi at home: ma, if you knew how understanding she is! I had to do it ma. C: Como asi Gaviotita!! G: Ma, the witches called and said the family would boycott! C: Gaviotita, don't try to find hair on mango's. These people won't be on our side ever. G: Ma, no worries, Pillie was nice to me. She said I can be calm about this event.


Pilar to witches: 'with what face will you say hello to Avellaneda if you went to the party! You don't deserve to be there!' Isa and Minnie: so now they will kick us out from the event every time! Pillie: if you are part of the black list of the CRT, its because they think they cannot have a peaceful event with you there. Minnie, I told you you need to keep your class when it comes to fighting for your husband. That's what you get for not listening to me. And I prohibit all of you to get involved and manipulate your husbands affairs.


Gavi calls Dr Coffee and tells him no worries, she struck a deal with Pillie "and I will pray to my saints to leave the Montalvo men deaf so they don't hear the barks of their wives".


So now we get to see the witches with each of their husbands. We start off with Fedra and Bruno who are arguing. Bruno thinks Fedra is crazy for thinking he will boycott the event. I told you Fedra, you should have left Mariana Franco alone. Sofie comes in: how was it?? F: ah, don't even ask!! she leaves, leaving Sofia alone. In comes Fran..."mon amouuuurrr!!! Honey I don't know what to wear at the festival". Sofie: well ur not going! F: but mon amour you cannot expect me to not go. S: well, you're not going F: are you ordering me? S: yes. F: well as you wish your highness. He thought bubbles "but I am the one that makes the orders here..."


Isa and Rod are also arguing...Rod reminds her that her dad owes him money. Isa yells 'no worries, he will pay you back!". Rod, sarcastic: well I hope so cuz he's taking a looong time! Isa: well I don't want you to go to the festival, and I don't want you to be with her!! And whether you like it or not, IIII am the one that deserves to be with you that night cuz IIII am your wife! Rod: don't even dare saying that, you have no right, because you threatened to take Ricky away from me if I launched my Organic Tequila product...remember??!!!

Manana:
- Sofie tells Fran that Dani will discover if Ricky is truly Rod's baby.
- Gavi and Clarira get ready for the festival. Clarita is happy "Como asi!!!" Mariana: ma, but don't get drunk, ok???
- Isa tells Rod that Santovena is one of Gavi's lovers..."he could be the 8th, 9th, 10th...you can tell from far she's a professional!!".
- Everyone is getting ready for the festival. Isa tells Ricky to say goodbye to his dad. (Is it just me, or was that a different baby?? oh well...)

Great one, tash! Enjoyably, sardonically succinct. ;> )

So now Pilar has to guard the henhouse, so to speak, to make sure none of those freaking Montalvo females escape and go off to the party to ruin things and embarrass the Family any further. Do they have bouncers at these functions???? It would be worth it about now to hire a few I think.

Loved Froggie's "moment of realization". Can you imagine all the "fish" for a con-man like this one at an event like that? It'll be a kid in a candy-shop.

It bugs me how Dr. Coffee always says he'll back up Mariana only to get cold feet in the end and wonder how he's going to wiggle the two of them free of her tight predicaments all the time....
~ :>(
 

Here are the anvils I'm excited about:

- Clarita coming face-to-face with Pilar

- Frankie meeting Mariana/Gaviota and discovering that she is also "Jennifer"
 

Thanks for the wonderful recap. You pointed out a lot of things that I didn't get the full understanding of. That's only one of the reasons I love these recaps so much. About the babies, yes that was a different baby. In fact, they use 3 different babies so that they don't interfere with the babies feeding times and schedules. There is a picture of Isa holding all three babies in the September 7, 2007 issue of TV y Novelas. (Nice pic of Aaron is on the cover).
 

Tash - This was a super recap. Thanks for such careful details.
I actually think Alonso is doing a good job backing Gavi but makes her stand up to these women. He seemed to be grinning on the side when he wanted Minnie to talk to Gavi about the invitations and taunts her that perhaps "something happened so they didn't get invited" He is not fooled for a moment by Minnie telling the truth about speaking for the entire family, or maybe a tiny bit worried that she will get to Avellanada but otherwise seems to be calling her bluff.
Las fieras Montalvos are so self righteous about their power and rights. It was fun to see Gavi outwit them another time and especially to see Pilar turn the corner finally to stand up to their stupid (actually unlawful and villainous) behavior aimed at the CRT in an attempt to destroy Gavi.
There were lots of grins on the side. The men in particular seem so pleased that they get to cruise this event solo. Notice Aaron makes a poke at Rod's ego by mentioning how fine it will be to see the lovely Gavi again after all this time. Oh, party, party!! tonight's episode is going to be too fun...
 

Thanks for the great recap! I can't help but notice how Pilar likes Gavi. Maybe because she actually works for a living?

Can't wait for tonight's show to see what happens!!
 

I am under the impression that no Destilando amor tomorrow? Because of the show about the singer Solis, who did the opening song for the Fieres??

Also clarita's stunned look when gavi told her about meeting Pilar. It was sooo obvious. What does pilar think of gav after she finds out that gavi's mother had an affair with her husband and that gavi is the result?? It is obvious cause clarita remininces about the man.
 

Tash-- just a wonderful recap. Pero no entiendo una cosa-- how can you tell that Pilar is impactada?

VV.
 

It is obvious that Clarita reminisces about Amador and that they were very close. It's not at all clear that they had an affair.
 

I agree it isn't clear if Clarita had an affair with Amador but the two were tight. Maybe she is his illegitimate sister and when the final reading of the will comes about she and Gavi will get some big bucks and we can watch Minnie and her coven choke to death.

I loved the expressions on the women's faces when PIilar told them they deserved to be cut. One thing about Minnie, she is a force equal to that of the the old lady. She has a backbone of iron. Loved the bit with Bruno and Fedra when he told her he was going and she kept nagging and he ignored her.

Tonight should be fun and let's hope we aren't disappointed.
 

Another interesting sidebar could be Clarita meeting Frankie at tonight's event. If I remember correctly, Josie showed Clarita the newpaper picture of Frankie and Sofie's marriage. I don't think Clarita realizes Gavi and Frankie know each other or maybe this will just get overlooked amidst all the other undercurrents. EMO
 

Didn't Dona Pilar say some time ago that her husband had had an affair with a jornalera who sang? It seems that everything points to Clarita. She looked impactada that Gaviota had spoken to Pilar and thought Pilar was nice. That would mean that Rodrigo and Gaviota are related, so somebody better be adopted! Still, if Clarita had had an affair with Rodrigo's grandfather and Gaviota was the result, she wouldn't be pushing Gaviota towards him. Hmmm.
 

Clarita would push gavi towards rod if rod was adopted (ie possibly clarita's child and he was put up for adoption to the Pilar household, who were not told who the mother was, cause of amador's affair. Then maybe gavi belongs to one of clarita's family and clarita raised her. This would explain why gav calls her clarita and gav does not look anything like her.
 

I think pilar shows expression in her unblinkable eyes. She displayed a liking to gav last night. It is the sparkle in the eyes, which is so obvious since she can't blink.
 

Many people have commented that Clarita and Gavi don't look alike, but to me they do. Both have heart-shaped faces with very small chins. And Clarita looks like she could have been petite in her younger years. They sure favor more than Aron and Rodrigo!
 

Cherylnewmex: You are so right when you say what they did was illegal and I was wondering why it wasn't brought out that those women were lucky the CRT didn't threaten outright to press charges, but maybe that is what Avellaneda meant when he told Pilar they wouldn't put up with another incident from them.
 

Hubby's theory: BOTH Bruno and Philipe were adopted 'cause Pilar was barren herself and possibly went to "visit" a distant relative in Spain for a few months and then came home with her baby boy/s. So, Gavi is the real heiress and the codicil would say that he gave the grandsons their chance to procreate and if they hadn't within that four year period, the fortune would revert to his one true Montalvo descendant, Teresa Hernandez. Food for thought.....
 

wait, wait.... no way was Clarita the singing jimadora of Amador's dreams. remember the horrible, horrible crooning with the trio A Media Noche? well I s'pose she could've lost her voice in the bottom of a tequila bottle... Not.

VV.
 

It was such fun watching the witches get what they deserve. Minnie is the fiera that won't stop. She'll keep pushing for "revenge" for what she brought on herself. It would be great if they were arrested for trespassing-- if they showed up at the fiesta...
jb
 

Jardinera - I love your theory. In fact, I'd be willing to lay some $$ on it if I were a betting person. Good thinking!
 

Another thing that's puzzling is that Clarita won't tell Gavi who her daddy is. I don't understand the big secret. It would be unfair to let her remain so in love wit Rod if the two of them were related in any way. The writers sure are trying to make up believe that there were some adoptions or babies found on doorsteps somewhere along the line.
 

ooh, i like Jardinera's hubby's theory, it does explain a lot that hasn't made much sense outherwise. I don't remember ever looking forward so much to a party that i wasn't attending....
 

It is obvious that Clarita knows that Gav and Rod are not related or she would never have let them get together in the first place. But she knows something and she isn't talking.....guess we'll have to wait and find out.
 

I hope that Minervaa and Sophie somehow discover that Isa slept with both their husbands. If they do, those fieras will eat her alive. Maybe AAron will demand that the baby have a DNA test. I'm sure that Gavi and Rod are not related. I don't think that the writers would be that cruel. Those two have to end up together at the end. I think that by the way Clarita looks at Amador's photo, they were lovers. Whether their love produced Gavi..I'm not sure. She and Clarita do not look alike to me. How can Dani get information from the doctor about Isa? You couldn't do that here in the U.S. with all the privacy laws. How soon before this house of cards starts to fall, and who will be the first to fall? How many more weeks will this novela run ?

Susanlynn: I believe we have 9 weeks left. TN-W says there were 172.5 total in Mexico at its fin last weekend.

Anon 9:42 PM - "I don't remember ever looking forward so much to a party that i wasn't attending...."

LOL!! I was thinking just about the same thing. Imagine if Jose and Panchito see each other there because Gavi ok'd Jose's going with her ma? Hubby says here's Frankie's first big social event in the catbird's seat and he comes smack dab face to face with his past in spades, i.e., his mama will be there to fawn all over him and Clarita and Gavi will be there to shame his snubbing her with the wedding and then the other male Montalvo's might realize what a load of crap he fed Sofia and Grammy?*&!!? Talk about your bar room brawls....
 

p.s. 172.5 capítulos, not weeks!!
 

Hi, I had not watch the novela from
the beginning. I here from time to
time that Gaviota, was a prostitute
is there any truth in that?
 

anon 8:38- Gavi never was a puta, she was recruited unknowingly into a prostitution in the early episodes, went to Paris, and soon found out what was expected of her and bolted.This info was found out by the Montalvo family, and was used against her. She has had only our hotrod as a lover, tho asshat Aron falsely claims to have conquistado her..
 

Hi W!

Well, Pilar was not actually impactada, but rather thoughtful. I kid of threw the impactada in (jokingly), because I feel her plastic surgery makes her appear in a permanent state of 'impacto'. So to me, all of her expressions have an 'impacto' touch: impactada, thoughtful-impactada, sad-impactada, happy-impactada, etc....

yeah, sadly, we have a couple months left of destilando. i like it, but i wish they hadn't prolonged the soap opera due to high ratings; it would have been just fine if they left the original. pasion seems a lot better...aye captain!
 

anon. 9:22- Thank You!
