Destilando Amor - Oct. 11, 2007 the scent of a woman - dirt, sweat and agave plants
EPISODE - Oct. 11, 2007:
* Minnie wonders about Rod and his doctor. Isa doesn't care, she only wants the results. Isa makes googly-eyes with men at next table.
* Rod goes to reception desk and asks about Dr. Erika - she's late for their very important date. Just then, Dr. Erika calls the desk and tells the receptionist about her car trouble. Receptionist takes down the direction information and hangs up. Receptionist then relays the news to Rod, who gets in a panic. As receptionist is about to call for a private chauffeur, Rod insist on going to pick Dr. Erika up. Receptionist gives Rod the directions and Rod leaves.
* Gavi returns home to find Clara's note. Gavi is depressed after learning from Dani that Rod is staying away from her.
* Rod pulls up the driveway to the restaurant. He sits for a short time to spy on Dr. Erika with the handy mechanic. Rod smiles. Mechanic pulls out the oil dipstick and shows Erika that there's no oil - that is a problem. Erika is in a hurry and panic and encourages the mechanic to fix it quickly. Mechanic returns to the car. Rod pulls up and parks beside Erika's car. As Erika swings her purse at the doorpost, Rod sneaks up and surprises Erika. He explains, in a humorous way, how he waited at the spa for her and came out to find her. She asks how long he'd been there - he says not long, long enough to use her trick of watching people - it's very fun and then explains his observations and his two theories about her backstory. She laughes. He asks what really happened to her car? She explains what she knows, which isn't much. He says they can go inside and wait. She doesn't want to leave the car. Rod calls the mechanic over. Mechanic tells them of the broken part; he can fix it but the shop is closed and won't open until tomorrow morning. Rod agrees with the mechanic for tomorrow's repairs. Erika is upset but agrees to it. Mechanic goes back to car. Rod noticing the chill in the air, takes off his jacket and puts it around Erika's shoulders.
* Clara serves some taquitos with everything on them to herself and Gavi. Clara is enthusiastically telling about her day at the hospital and in the cafeteria. Clara notices Gavi's somber, depressed mood. Clara asks Gavi about it - Gavi mumbles - Clara asks if it is about Rod. Gavi explains how he won't talk to her, see her and doesn't want the P.R. office's help with his latest trip. Clara notices the obvious - that he's living up to her wish to be left alone. They continue talking. Gavi mentions her discussion with Dani, about Rod seeing a 'piscologa' (psychologist). Clara is impactado and wonders why? did the montalvos make him go crazy? Gavi explains it's for his anxiety problems. Clara gives her opinions on the subject, which eventually leads into Clara's very brief summary of another telenovela, Locos por Amor. Gavi listens and thinks that doesn't fit this situation. Gavi explains her experience with a psychologist - and remembers when Ben V. took her to see Dr. Erika. Gavi explains her positive reaction to the session. Gavi hopes Rod has the same type of experience. They both hope for one month of tranquility.
* Minnie finishes talking with Fedra on her cell phone and then tells Isa about Fedra's meeting tomorrow with the other tequila grower's wives. Minnie is ready to leave - Isa reluctantly agrees. Minnie calls for the check. Isa takes out her credit card - Minnie tells her to put it away, this is her treat. Instead of bringing the check, the waiter brings over two glasses of champagne. Minnie asks who sent them. Waiter explains the two men at the other table sent it over, along with paying for their bill. Minnie seems insulted, and insists on not accepting the glasses and hands the waiter her credit card to take care of her and Isa's bill and tips. Waiter leaves. Minnie explains to Isa why she can't accept the flirting from the strangers. Isa smiles, laughs and wants to have fun with them. Isa says they should celebrate that Rod has successful therapy sessions this weekend. The men (Eugenio and Alfredo) come over to introduce themselves and join Isa and Minnie at their table. Isa welcomes them; Minnie is extremely uncomfortable.
* Rod and Erika arrive at the spa. Rod compares the spa to his family hacienda. Erika reminds him they need to keep their voices low. Rod whispers to ask where his room is. She points in the direction of the building. He laughs and points at another building for other patients. They laugh and she points to where her room is. She asks if he's hungry. He says starving. She asks him to raid the kitchen with her. He agrees. They walk down the path to the kitchen, talking.
* Clara is ready for bed. Gavi is dressed and pacing the floors - she can't sleep. Clara can't believe Gavi wants to leave at 10 at night. Gavi offers to take a taxi and go to the local bar alone. Clara grumbles and says good-night. Gavi calls for a taxi.
* Outside the kitchen door, Erika tells Rod what Mina the cook would do if they are caught, before they sneak inside.
* On the street, Hilario drives up on his motorcycle as Gavi leaves the building. They hug. She invites him to join her at the bar. He offers to drive her on his motorcycle. She says it's better to take the taxi - in case they drink too much. (how very responsible of her. - ed. note). Hilario moves his motorcycle to a safe lot before they leave.
* Isa and Minnie still with Eugenio and Alfredo. Isa is busy flirting with Eugenio. Minnie pokes Isa in the arm, wanting desperately to leave. Alfredo, Eugenio and Isa continue flirting. Eugenio and Alfredo don't want them to leave. Minnie is insistent and pulls Isa away from the table. Isa is disappointed that Minnie doesn't want to stay. Minnie tells her to stay if she wants, but it will be by herself. Isa apologizes and agrees to leave with Minnie. Minnie says she'll go to the restroom and Isa is to make their excuses and get the men to leave the table. Isa returns to the table - makes the excuses to the men - Eugenio gives Isa his business card - Eugenio and Alfredo return to the other table. Minnie returns and totally ignores the men. Minnie leaves with Isa following (and still flirting with Eugenio). (ed. note: Isa, you're such a slut.)
* Erika and Rod start raiding the bread basket and refrigerator to make some late night ham and cheese sandwiches with juice and milk to drink. As they talk about Rod's idea of friendship with Erika and why he's not comfortable with sessions at her office, Erika makes two sandwiches. She presents them to Rod - Rod blurts out, "you are the culmination of all the qualities I look for and want in a 'true friend'."
* Outside in the garden, Erika and Rod walk and Erika has Rod explain his definition of a true friend. She then asks him about his search for his true love, for Gavi. Rod pauses to think. They part for the night - tomorrow is a busy day (with his sessions and her car repairs).
* At the bar, Hilario explains to Gavi his problems with San Juana (SW) Gavi wonders if she'll return to the hacienda. Hilario doesn't care; she's not his problem any more.
* SW cries on sofa of Casandra's apartment - Casandra apparently picked her up and brought her home. SW is pushing for Casandra's sympathy, pity and support.
* Hilario and Gavi continue talking at bar. Hilario explains his long-lost love for his friend's wife. Gavi cries with his story. Hilario says the friend is still married to her, and they have a child. He can't fathom breaking up a happy family. Hilario explains to Gavi that the lady only considers him an "adventure". They shake off the sadness, clink their glasses and take a drink. Later, Hilario and Gavi sing a karaoke mariachi duet.
* Rod, alone, lays on the grass and looks up at the stars in the night sky.
* Next morning, Rod finds Erika sitting at the fountain reading a psychology textbook. Rod congratulates Erika on the spa. He starts to describe the wonderful aromas he smells. Erika takes the hint and starts his morning therapy session. She asks him why he mentions all the smells? and about Gavi's smell? Erika tries to get Rod to close his eyes and tell her what he sees with the smells. He starts, stops, and says he can't concentrate. She asks him to describe the aroma of Gaviota. He starts, gets nervous and stops again. She tries again. He asks to go someplace else. As Erika reaches for her book, it falls on ground. They bend down to pick it up, and Rod gets a huge whiff of Erika's aroma - he declares, "It's you!" Erika smiles. She says it's her perfume. She turns the subject back to him and what he feels and remembers with the scents. They walk along the garden path.
* Clara enters the bedroom and talks with Gavi, who is putting on her make-up. Gavi tells Clara all the problems SW is causing for Hilario. Clara grumbles her disgust for SW.
* SW is vacuuming the rug of Casandra's apartment. Casandra wakes up and pulls the plug. She asks what SW is doing? SW, enthusiastically, tries to get Casandra to hire her to be maid, cook, messenger - even willing to work for free room and board. Casandra isn't interested - SW keeps talking fast and Casandra discovers that SW has no intention of ever returning to the hacienda. Casandra looks up at the ceiling, and thought bubbles, "Daddy, I have cider in my ear." (Sky Masterson's line in Guys and Dolls.)
* Gavi's all dressed and ready to leave. Clara enters with mops in hand and is curious where Gavi's going. Gavi explains about making tequila recipes for the upcoming food conference with Alonso. Clara is skeptical. Gavi assures her it's for work. Clara starts to mop. The doorbell rings. Gavi mentions about her and Rod, then leaves the phone number in case of emergencies, and kisses her mom before leaving.
* Rod and Erika walk through the garden. Rod talks about the scents and his long-time problem with women. He decided to dedicate himself to work and his studies to avoid the problem. Erika asks about his feelings for Gavi. Rod tells her about all the qualities that make him enchanted by her, and how he feels when he is close to her (knot in the pit of his stomach). He says it's a combination of sensuality and true love. He's never felt anything like it with any other woman.
* Alonso on sidewalk with Gavi. He asks her about her worries over Rod. Gavi tells him what she discovered from Dani (in brief). Gavi notices that Nancy isn't in the minivan. Alonso says that she had to go to the university for some classes so she won't be joining them. Gavi is surprised but agrees to go ahead with their cooking plans. They walk to the car - Alonso sniffs Gavi and remarks about her perfume (he likes it).
* Minnie wonders about Rod and his doctor. Isa doesn't care, she only wants the results. Isa makes googly-eyes with men at next table.

Scene: Doctor Erika during today's confession to Padre Sigmund Freud:
Perdoname Padre for I have sinned. I committed the sin de barriers. I bared mi toes, mi legs, mi arms, mi back and mi breast to mi "huggy bear" paciente y ahora, all I have left to bare to you is mi soul. Si, that is a pity. Soy una doctora sin barriers or am I a sinning doctora? Pues hopefully, if the writers get it correcto I will be both. There will be a drenching rain scene and I will have something new to bare. Si I will come to you immediately and not stop for dry clothing. You see Padre, for reasons like these I will need to see you cada dia, at least for the next month. Mi paciente y futuro Guapito explained it this way; it's like a dental paciente with a severe emergency problema that can't be fixed in a day. Perdoname Padre while I refresh my hair with a mist of pheromone. Pheromone? It's an Americano medico perfume. No, I am not playing a shadow flirtatious game! Si Padre, I do have some mo "ex-splain-n" to do.....

I'm with you on this, Sistah Val! There was the doctora with her wispy little sundress showing some tantalizing bozoomies, and sitting practically in Rod's lap, or hovering just inches from his face, wafting her scent his way. And what was all that about scents and places and what did it make him think of... I'm imagining some troubled souls in the audience who had been thinking of counseling and getting a load of her approach and saying to themselves How wacko, that's it, I'm not going.

Let me get this. Gavi is a decent woman who suddenly decided to go off to the neighborhood bar at 10 at night? While Rod is working out his mental problems with the doctora Gavi might consider a trip to AA. She slugs back the tequila and jaunts into bars at the drop of a hat. There's usually a lot of eating and drinking in novelas but I've never seen one where everybody drinks all the time.
Minnie did look awfully uncomfortable when those lounge lizards appeared. Isa never misss a trick if it wears pants.
Cassie will be the next one headed for counseling for letting the world class leech into her apartment. What was she thinking? Actually SW isn't bad looking maybe she can get her a modeling job and thus get rid of the pest once and for all.

Thanks for the recap..
Wondering here, how do you deal with a patient that has stalker/compulsion/anger issues? My encouraging him to transfer them to you? Seriously, I would think if Rod really was a BSC, he would be less forgiving of a professional who got him involved than Gavi.
Also when Dr. Erika plays the arousal game with lil Rod and she sees that he can become aroused by another woman, is she just like..well stud you are fixed go out and conquer?

Nice recap! Did anyone else tear up when Gav and Hil did their duet? (or maybe I'm low on estrogen) Isa is a piece of work - but I guess it doesn't matter - she will get the jewels and the apartment (or maybe just the old heave ho).
I hope Cassandra sees what a leach SanJuanna is and gets her on a bus back to the hacienda. People like SJ end up getting physically hurt.

Thank you for the recap J.R. I think that Dr. Erika is playing a dangerous game! Does she really want Rodrigo to "transfer" all his paranoidal tendencies to her? I don't think so? And even if she does honestly fall in love with Rod, we all know that love on the rebound only lasts for a short time, so she's bound to get hurt.
It was really nice to see Minerva uncomfortable. It's obvious she doesn't know how to act around other men who shower attention her way. Probably can't deal with attention other than the negative attention Aaron throws her way. As for Gavi and her drinking, at least she's consistent! She's been drinking since the start of the novela, and will probably continue until the end, especially with a crazy man like Rodrigo on her mind!!

I guess I misunderstood what Rod said to Erika when he caught a good whiff of her—I thought when he said “su perfuma”, he meant “her perfume”, not “your perfume” thus telling Erika she was wearing the same brand as Gaviota’s. The faint smell he kept detecting was why he was thinking so hard trying to describe the fragrance of his love. It’s that ambiguous “su”, meaning (her/his/your/their) or whatever you can guess from context. Erika’s bland smile didn’t give much clarification, and I suppose it really doesn’t matter much, but I hate it when I get it totally backwards. JudyG

I'm with everyone who feels that Erika's therapy has gone beyond the boundaries that should be maintained in a professional relationship. Consider if the shoe were on the other foot and Rod was were the therapist and Erika the one with the issues. Most of us would be outraged at so called therapy taking place in such an intimate setting. That aroma scene was a bit much. Those of you who are teachers, would you condone a female principal having cocktails with a male student and taking him to such an intimate setting even if it is your second office. Reminds me of Michael Jackson having such a liking for kids that he entertained them at his Neverland haven. I wish Erika's role written as that of a good friend, instead of a therapist. And Maggie, you were thinking someone in the audience might decide not to seek therapy after seeing Erika in action? I think just the opposite. I think some wacko male would love to take advantage of such intimate treatment.

I got home last night too late to comment on yesterdays recap. I like Elvis and Dani, so I wanted to add my two cents. I enjoyed and agree with the comments about them. Although there has been times when I wished he'd dress different for the occasion, I doubt that he owns a suit and tie. I think that perhaps his part is mainly to compliment Dani's rebel "artsy" style. There have been times when I wished she'd tell him to "cool it" but notice she seems to like his style. If I were Dani, I would tell him to just ignore abuela and not even try to get on her good side. She should have stopped his pecks on the cheek to abuela from day 1. I cracked up when he brought his photo album though. Abuela was looking at those pictures like "que the F"? I'm glad that it just rolls off the back of Dani and Elvis, and in the end, that's all that matters.

Thank you for the recap. So...is Dr. Erika leading Rod down the garden path both literally and figuratively ??? I thought that Rod meant that her perfume reminded him of Gavi's. My Latino students often have a lot of trouble with English pronouns . They especially get his and her mixed up. Isadora really likes the hombres, no??? Ivan the Terrible looks a little different here than he does as Evil Eva's henchman in '' Amar Sin Limites.''

Peliroja~~~I think that ''caray'' is like ''Oh Brother!'' abd ''ojala'' is ''I hope'', but I don't have a very large Spanish vocabulary , so I could be wrong.

Orale means "hey" where I come from.

JR, Thanks for the masterful recap. Lots of fun flipping of scenes here. Sistah Val, you've turned on the lights again with your scene from Sigmund the Sacerdote, Erika presents that TN breaking of rules that was flipping me out when the corporate ethics were raped by the Montalvo Señoras when they raided the Human Resource files and brought the head of HR to his very weak knees in order to ruin Gaviota some months ago. I 'spose it's not much fun to right an ethical therapy session into the script but I am disappointed because Erika seemed the heighth of good sense and sensitive warmth in her brief sessions with Gavi some Christmas back in Cuernavaca with Benvenuto and Clarita....wow she, Erika, is sexy in those handkerchiefs split to the waist, floaty skirt dresses with her very wet kissable lips so very near her sensitive, weepy, troubled patient, Rodzy.
Nice parallel that Gavi is getting such special appreciative treatment from Dr. Coffee to salve her wounded heart. She can flaunt her pheromones too, maldita sea.
Isa is lots sluttier than Mini apparently, but looks like a lot more fun. Mini is such an obnoxious snob.

And didn't you just love sexy, very, very bad old Aaron going Caray, Caray over the projected sales of off shore Tequila that his co-conspirator of the day shows him. Bad, bad boy, so cute when he is delighted by some dastardly deed or information.
My take on Caray is that it is a mild expletive that even people's rich tias can use (Mariana Karr style in Alborata who gave this blogspot its name) Kind of an Egad, or Zounds in English.
I couldn't get a clear explanation of Orale from my religious house mom in Cuernavaca last year but technically isn't it "I pray you" or like old New England "prithee". Kind of a come on lets get on with it. I have had bus drivers say it to me after I asked if they were going where I wanted to go. Sort of come on yes, lets go!

I was also feeling sentimental when Hil and Gavi were singing at the bar.They were acting like really good friends (even though) they barely talk to each other. They were both sharing their love stories and getting drunk- everyone has been there done that! That Doctora is not acting real professional with big bear- but I don't blame her at all...if it were me- I'd be like let me give you a "private" consultation!!
Hi, folks--
I just popped in as a lurker and noticed the "órale" questions. Here's my new favorite translation website, and it confirms the "hey" definition and adds "come on!" Sorry to make you cut and paste. This website often has long lists of grammatical usage for each word that other dictionaries don't give.
