Destilando 11/12/07 "Rod Charged with Trying to Bury a Bone"

Well we start out with the embarrassing scene of Dr Blandie picking up all his toys and going home. Actually, suffering extreme buyer’s remorse for the “Kiss of Broken Dreams”, he pecked at Gavi the night before. His poor heart is broken and he will be taking a job in Madrid and Gavi will be going to London. Personally I find this a bit self-serving as Gavi & Clarita would have been better off in Spain. At least Clarita would have had her TeleNovelas. Alas perhaps Dr. BlandHat is not as noble as we once thought. Gavi is all teary eyed at the thought of losing her mentor, but never to viewed as romantic possibility.

Over at Montalvo, Aaron is saying he is going to be very busy with the job & he doesn’t need anything from Rod. Aaron is gloating. Rod is same to you and leaves.

Gavi goes to talk to Av*, he tells her that her new boss will meet them at the airport and he will take them to their new apartment. Much luck, you’ll do a fine job in London. Gavi asks if she can give him a hug. She does and you just know Av* is totally looking forward to getting both Blandie and Gavi out of his hair and maybe he can actually enjoy his do nothing position as he milks the remaining time before his huge retirement settlement.

Now Blandie is giving Nancy of many tears a big hug. She is but a few tears away from complete hysteria. The hug continues, I am forced to wonder, had Blandie spent a bit more time groping that and less time pining away for Gavi, hmmmm. Would we be in the predicament we are now in?
Gavi comes forth to say good bye to Blandie. He does the “Hasta Luego” & puts his hand out for a proper shake. Gavi cries and give him a big platonic hug. Blandie turns and leaves. Nancy having given Blandie a much longer & closer hug, wails at her desk lamenting what could have been.

Over to the Hacienda, James is in the fields, the Agave disease is spreading faster than the new MRSA outbreak. James wants to call the CRT. How did this happen? Roman says the Agave did not receive the correct treatment, something isn’t right. Meester stern voiced James tells Basilio to wait for him at the house.

Now Erika stops in to see Gavi. Erika says she doesn’t have much time so let’s get to the point. Gavi is indeed a smart-ass, thinking Erika has come to revel in taking Rod from Gavi. Gavi tells Erika not to worry the earlier scandal created in the restaurant won’t be repeated. Gavi says she isn’t interested and she is pressed for time, Gavi is off for new adventures in a foreign land. She takes the tickets out and sneers, see see I am going. If you are in love with Rod that is your problem. Erika looks all wan and continues to talk in her monotone psychologist voice. Erika says she sat in silence at the restaurant and now it is time for Gavi to listen. She says Rod committed many errors and she could not treat him as a regular patient, that was her first error. Gavi gives her the “Ya think”? Erika continues she took Rod on the weekend to the “Villa of Locos, Not Loco enough for a Hospital, but Loco enough to pay huge fees for Yoga classes”, so she could know him better. Gavi inserts, yeah and you got to know each other real good. Erika continues, He was a man with a grande obsession for one woman. Gavi says, “Thanks for your treatment and miracles and now your are with him.”
Gavi can seriously do the snark when she wants, personally I would have wanted to do a serious smack down on the good doctor and her monotone voice.
We were friends..then well Rod was just so damn fascinating. Enough, Gavi wants details. Well as time went on, you didn’t call, you didn’t write, then the whole CRT event, the bad behavior at Dona Pilar’s that is when he began to share some very special feelings with me, that is when I fell in love with him. Gavi says, “You know what, I don’t want to hear anymore.” Erika for the sake of honesty continues, “Rod shared some beautiful things, but he isn’t for me, only you are in his heart. The night after the restaurant he came to me and said he would discontinue his therapy, because alas he is love with you. Gavi is muy muy muy impacted. I too am muy muy muy impacted. Was this confession not just the lamest thing you ever heard? She actually called that weekend of the scent fetish and the continued dinners, hair flipping, dancing, arm touching, “ therapy”. In all fairness I believe, there are professional girls being charged with pandering, who could as easily be termed a psychologist. Say Erika doesn’t this normally end up as a movie on Lifetime?

Rod is signing papers for his annulment, Videgaray tells him the Padre doesn’t see any problem with it. Videgaray says that Isa’s lawyer is still putting out demands. Rod says too bad, she isn’t getting a penny until she complies with his demands. Videgary moves on to tell Rod that Clarita donated the land to the church.

Back to Erika who is telling Gavi, now Rod is alone yet again, and you are running off to London. You must put away your pride and talk to him. Erika is crying, Gavi is crying..This is just so annoying.
Now Erika gives Gavi the Tequilia Trophy and says Gavi has to decide what to do with it. Gavi needs to decide, but poor Rod just loves her so much. In actuality, she is removing any trace of Rod should a lawsuit follow. The couch has already been torched just in case there were any DNA traces. Erika then tells Lassie to go find Timmie in the well. Erika leaves. Gavi doesn’t know what to do. The phone rings, it is Dani. Gavi asks why Rod didn’t call; knowing Gavi was on her way to London.

James is grilling Basilio; Basilio is trying to cover well, yes his own ass. He says he did what Frankie told him. James is calling the CRT. Basilio pretty much thinks of himself as a deadman.

Dani says Rod went to the apartment last night and saw Blandie was there. Rod gave up any hope for reconciliation. Gavi calls Margarita, Rod is gone. Gavi gets the airline and flight info and starts yelling for Nancy. Nancy doesn’t answer and we see Gavi pick up her purse and run out the door.
My husband said Blandie had Nancy in a closet, they finally realized their attraction.

Aaron is talking to his dimwitted father in the office. He will meet with some bankers and he is still trying to distribute his Turquoise Tequila. Aaron calls Margarita in. He starts giving her orders and does the CokeHead thing where he is telling her to hurry up and pounding on his brief case. Margarita tells him she is quitting to go work for Rod. Bruno gives her some orders and Aaron grabs her and throws her out of the office. Bruno just stands there and watches. Bruno is such a wuss, now this is seriously one man who could have benefited from an amante that would have covered his back.

Just when Av* is ready kick back, put his feet up and breathe easy…..Here comes Pammy’s father. He has proof of Aaron export irregularities to Europa Orient (I am not sure where that is, I guess we aren’t fighting terrorists there so they won’t come here…but I fear they may when they hear we have good Tequila). Dad pulls out a big ol book of copies of his transgressions. Av* says if the doc’s are true, this is a very serious dilema. Dad says check them against the CRT archive. Av* looks like he can’t believe his misfortune. His dreams of salad days are wilting. When Aaron dumped Pammie, Dad decided to look into the rumors of bad credit and misdeeds, it wasn’t easy, but now he has the proof.

Gavi runs up to the counter, ooopppss, sorry the plane is gone. She is too late.

Rod is seated in a bar, he is harassing the waitress for a big ol heaping helping of Tequila. The waitress now goes over to Gavi who orders the same. The waitress needs to find another bottle, Gavi is arguing with the waitress when Rod starts yelling for the waitress. Gavi gets up out of her seat as Rod is getting up to go chase down poor underpaid waitress forced to dress like a Scottish Bagpiper, I might add. Gavi and Rod come face to face.

An argument ensues, it seems to be about Tequila and who will get to be on the “I need a Transplant” list first. We all know the argument is not about Tequila. The waitress is trying to get them to each return to their own tables, should she call the police? This causes more cute couple snarking recalling their prior stint in the jail. Gavi is yelling Tarado at Rod which translates as "Git", so true so true. Soon every patron of said cocktail lounge is involved in the tale. Oh yes could this get anymore embarrassing, ah but of course. Gavi starts saying how he was just going to let her go to London, he didn’t care. He says, she is so freakin important she was going off on her career. She says, you didn’t call. He says, you didn’t want me; I was jealous crazy for love, a maniac. Rod continues, I had to see a psychologist. Gavi counters, Yeah one with 90 60 90 (centimeters I, guess that is hawt by metric standards), one who wines and dines you in fine restaurants. One who spends the weekend at a hotel, then you spent the night in her apartment. This causing murmuring amongst the thrilled listeners. I guess Gavi isn’t ready to forgive and forget.
Seriously if I was there, I be listening, commenting and throwing them down, cause there is a good chance these two AssHats are gonna pick up the tab.
Rod answers, yeah a lot you know about it..you were so busy with Dr Blondie, so distracted. You couldn’t call. Gavi gets teary and answered, I called ask you secretary and your sister, I knew you were suffering over your son. You swore, you swore, you would want me at your side in those moments, but that night you went to her, her apartment.

You can see the crowd is turning on Rod. Rod yells back, you wanted me to come to your apartment and cry like a little boy? “Yes, Yes”, Gavi yells back.
Right like he was too proud? This idiot has cried in nearly every location in Mexico City.
Gavi says she sat at home and suffered alone knowing he was suffering and he cared naught.
Gavi sits down at a table.
Women are glaring at Rod and men won’t look at him, the men move away as if Rod’s AssHattedNess could be catching and they don’t want their mujers to go all Gaviota on their asses.

Women pat Gavi and give her tissues. Rod is maniac and trying to explain how he needed to break his Gavi dependence. He rants he raves…finally gets down on his knees & says he loves her..Gaviota. Rodriego..much deep kissing. The crowd cheers. There is much face eating.
You know all these people would be retelling the story on the way home, my Gawd, strangers and now they know more about these two than they do their own spouses. It was kinda creepy fascinating, like you want to look away, but you can’t.

Av* is talking to some official, Aaron must be brought to justice.

Rod is having another Tequila, yes Rod if I was you I would have to maintain a semi drunken state for the rest of my days, just in case I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and had to face me. They talk about Gavi going to London. Rod says he thought she was in love with Blandie, being that they spent 24 hours a day together. Gavi tells him no, that Blandie is off to Madrid, because those Spaniards have been enjoying a huge surge in lifestyle, they are part of EU, they are enjoying a higher standard of living and something needs to damper that fireball and what could be better than Blandie. Six months of him and they will be back to herding sheep on mountainsides and the whole town sitting around watching a fuzzy black and white TV with rabbit ears on a Saturday night. Rod has an idea, he pulls Gavi to her feet and takes off.

We get to see an inside commerical with two people drinking a Blanco Gaviota. An infomercial for Tequila.

Rod & Gavi are standing in line at a ticket counter. Rod queries if it was Dani who told Gavi to seek Rod. No she says, it was Erika, she came to see me. Gavi starts telling him that Erika was very much in love with Rod and they had beautiful times together. Rod tries to play this off. Gavi like any true woman is not going to let him get away with it. She wants to know details. Finally to the counter Rod buys two tickets to San Luis Potosi. Gavi wants to talk..Rod says they need three days for their “Honeymoon” and to talk about their future.

Gavi is concerned because Erika said Rod now knows he can love another woman. Erika said this to Gavi and I was confused. I think it means Rod can LOVE another woman or at least until the physical act is complete. In other words, Rod is now like any other man. Gavi wants to know what happened..Rod keeps say absolutely nothing. Gavi wants to know just what was their relationship?
Yeah Rod millions of us are waiting for this one. I gotta say if Dude was a defendant in trial right now, and I was on the jury, he’d be getting life no hope of parole, cause damn Dude you are just screaming guilty as charged.
Rod tries to pull the don’t want to go with me? Fine I’ll go by myself, just go with me to the plane.

James is talking to Sofie on the phone, (Sofie who continues to wear her collection of “Death to a Marriage Outfits”, Sofie you are not a Southern Belle in Atlanta and wish as you might, Frankie did not die from a Yankee bullet..you do not have to wear black for a year). Basically James is passing on the news that the Agave is rotting on the vines. Sofie passes the message to Dani, the doorbell rings and the servant says Josefina Chavez wants to speak to Sofie. Jose comes in and announces she is the mother of Sofie’s husband. Sofie is muy impacted.

Gavi isn’t going anywhere with Rod without the truth. Finally he says he was attracted to Erika nothing more. He spent the night on her couch that was it, nothing happened. Gavi says how does Erika know Rod can love another woman? Once again, I believe this refers to the horizonal sense. Rod says beats me, it is a theory. Nothing happened, believe me, I love only you. He finally says fine good luck. Then turns around grabs her and carries her off to the airplane. The security guy is trying to scan them. If this was America it would be all over CNN.

Stay tuned..hopefully these people will shut the hell up in the next episode
Frankie tries to pick up a chick
Rod asks Gavi to marry him..

This leads me to wonder…Will he ever confess to trying to throw Erika the bone?

Beckster, I love your recaps. This episode gave me two cases of the extreme giggles. The first, did you hear the thud when I fell off my couch lauphing when Rod got down on his knees and started begging Gavi at the airport. Second, your comment about that guy crying in places all over Mexico City. This was a good chapter - we got to see Gavi/Rod together and fighting as usual. Please enlighten me - what is throwing Erika a bone mean? From lower Ala
 

Thanks for lots of laughs in the am, Beckster.

Bruno dropped off my list of the 'good guys' when he let Aaron push and berate Margarita.

Haha- -once again, the wardrobe people are creative with their bagpipe waitress at the airport bar outfit.

Glad Rod is cured now. He's not impulsive, manic, aggressive, fearful, or in denial. He's just a normal healthy guy, ready for a happily ever after relationship...
jb
 

love your comments, they are refreshing and funnyyyyyyy
laughed at some of them, what would I do without these recappes, after reading my own words I need a life.
cecile
 

Heh heh, Dr. Blandhat...that's very funny.
 

I love Erika's almost "apologetic remorse" speaking with Gavi..Her going head-long into the territory already occupied by another woman is,and being the "skrink" to her patient,while trying to bed him down, was triple stupid..How did she think it would play out? Finally,she came to her senses..I love the way Erika made those crocodile tears,but the face never moved..

Gavi & Rodrigo's bantering back & forth was so refreshing in the beginning..Now, at little aggravating..Possibly, on their getaway tonight things will be ironed out with the marriage proposal..Amazing how those words can make all issues go away..

Like JB,Bruno just dropped off the good guy list..He should have smacked his son for disrepecting and speaking to Margarita in such a tone of voice..I'm hanging in for payback to Aaron and Frankie,the sleeze....
 

"Europa Oriental" - Eastern Europe

thanks beckster for the excellent recap.

as I watch the Erika-Rod-Gavi triangle on this show, I keep asking myself did "Bold and Beautiful" copy "Cafe con Aroma" or did "DA" copy B&B - in B&B, it's Taylor-Ridge-Brooke triangle (with Taylor as the doctor.)

J.R. :)
 

Pasofino: Bone. Come on. You know. That thing that Rodrigo used to have trouble with but only Gavi could inspire. Evidently Erika inspired him too.

I think I got tripped up by "Europa Orient" last time I had to recap it - I was pretty excited last night when I finally realized what it was.

I think I was supposed to be a lot more interested in the "fight" last night, but I was bored by it. I'm just glad they finally look happy. I don't like ultimos capitulos when you have to wait until the very last one or two episodes for them to get together. I'd rather they got together now so we can enjoy the more suspenseful anvil-droppings over the remaining, what, two? three? weeks.
 

Great recap, as always , Beckster. Good title. Am I wrong or was Gavi saying ''I don't have any clothes.'' while Rod was carrying her to the plane??? No problema...Buy new clothes, Gavi. I guess we all know that Gavi will come back from this ''honeymoon sin marriage'' carrying the Montalvo VARON and a suitcase full of new clothing. Erika, you are pathetic...move along. I enjoyed your assessment of the downer effect that Dr. Coffee will have on Madrid. And . I agree that Bruno should have stepped in and stepped on AAron, the spoiled brat, when he was harrassing Margarita. Now, we know wht AAron is AAron...a lenient daddy and a shallow , greedy, arrogant mommy. Que lastima.
 

Julie - thank you. You'll just have to bear with folks like me who are new to telenovelas, new to everything new. I do know LOL and that's what I'm doing now. From lower Ala
 

Pasofino..yeah, it is a vulgar term for doing the deed or trying to do the deed..from a male perspective..see I do intense research on "Urban Dictionary", where you get the most delightful street terms. That's where I got the meaning of the term "Naco", which is sometimes used in TeleNovelas.
Julia thanks, I wasn't sure where Oriental Europe was.

This episode was just way too talky and I have a lot of trouble when Gavi rants cause she talks so fast.

My newest hope is that Sofie can move on to colors.
 

The scene with Rod and Gavi appealing their cases to the patrons in the bar is almost exactly like one earlier in the novela. I think it was in a restaurant. Maybe they even used the same extras to play the patrons.
 

Beckster, a great and funny recap as usual!

Aaron and Bruno are both definitely related....they are both jerks!

Loved your husband's assumption about Blandie and Nancy maybe being in the closet! I think it's great he watches with you! (My husband would rather see football, baseball, or anything to do with balls!)

Can't wait for more impactadas to happen!
 

Gee why doesn't anything interesting ever happen to me in airports like a couple of idiots shrieking their personal business for everyone to hear. I've spent interminable hours in the airport in the DF and never found that nice little bar/restauant among the horrendous mess that is that airport. Didn't you just love all the delay at the security checkpoint. The plane should have been long gone before G & R ever got outside. Oh yeah and the os so timely commercial for tequila right in the middle of everything. Did anyone happen to notice that when Rod dragged Gavi out of the bar they left two full glasses of tequila on the table. I half expected them to turn and around and go back and throw them down before proceeding on their bickering way.

Yike the Gavi Erika scene - boring and embarrassing plus which I don't know a woman alive who would have done what Erika did.

Aaron at least has more of a spine than his father even if both of them are scum sucking women abusers. Aaron is headed for the big house and Bruno for terminal embarrassment with a jailbird son and a nagging wife who is sure to have total hysterics when the truth comes out.

Pretty hilarious recap but I didn't care for the
reference to MRSA since it killed my husband. Kinda lost my sense of humor for a minute there.
 

Beckster, Thanks for another mouth full of joy recap. I laughed all the way through it. I like your husband's quip about Nancy and Blandito in the closet.
I kept waiting for the restaurant scene which looked choreographed as Rod and Gavi circled within the ring of patrons to make their points, to break into a song and dance number. For some odd reason I was imagining Westside Story: when you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way.... or Rod as John Travolta and Gavi as Olivia N-J in Grease...

Interesting that Erika brings the trophy to Gavi, she knew she didn't win the trophy or the bone prize..
 

I finally figured out why I have to assume that Aaron is a biological Montalvo. If he had been a love child (or in Fedra's case, a "contempt child"), Fedra probably would have hinted about it when Aaron compared his DNA with Ricky Jr.'s.

Which is why I would have thought it was hilarious if they'd been a match. Maybe Aaron could have been a de la Vega too, but instead he would have just assumed the baby was a Montalvo. :)

Bummer! Well, I'm sure there's some other way to give Fedra a pie in the face. Preferably without humiliating Bruno in the process. (Although, I too was pretty disgusted with the way he let Aaron shove his secretary around!)
 

decie girl..I am sorry for your loss. MRSA has been on our local news 24-7, and last night before I left work we had to take everything off our desks so they could clean. An employee reported having MRSA a week ago. A week ago? It seems like every Nov. (sweeps month), it is something new. Last year Bird Flu, the year before SARS, Strep B. What makes me crazy is they never seem to fix the problem, it just falls off the radar. Maybe it is our extremely short attention span in this country or Brittney or Lindsey or OJ do something else outrageous and we forget about the problem. Anyway I am sorry.

My husband only watches TeleNovelas cause he is Mexican and we only get one Spanish Channel. He loves boxing, but it comes on at a different time.
 

Decie Girl, so sorry for your loss. Did you lose your husband just recently?

Beckster, Gav called Rod "tarado" which means "idiot," "dumbass," "clueless dumbshit." It comes from the unfortunate word "retardado." I'm sure everyone here can guess what that means in English.

G.
 

Thanks for the recap.
Spain is a happening place these days. OT - loved that the Spanish king told Hugo Chavez (Venezuela's newest president for life) to shut up! :)
Really, Dr. S belongs in Vienna, with its tradition of coffee houses, philosophers, Freud (egad!) and cold winters - he's that kind of guy.
So, anything special about San Luis Potosi, other than it's the next flight out?

I hope this Rod/Gavi reconciliation is the one that finally takes. Guess it will have to, or we'll have a novela ending without the happy couple together.
 

I liked the part where Gavi protested as Rod was carrying her off "no tengo nada de ropa!" "Clothes are the last thing you're going to need" grinned Rod mischieviously. That little moment made up for the long boring public airing of their history yet one more time, and the fact that this is yet another of many reconciliations to be followed by . . .?
 

Does anyone remember the getaway with Fernando & Lety of LFMB,where they packed no clothes and had to purchase at the spa store,i.e the white outfits..??Some of the best scenes ever on any novela,i.e. Fernando & Lety..Those were the days..
 

exportred - how could we forget LFMB - Fernando in white at the spa, tryng to meditate and falling asleep! LOL
Fernando in the pool....
(BIG SIGH)

Lot more fun than Rod & Erika's resort spa/therapy excursion.
 

I absolutely laughed out loud hah hah hahaha ha haha when I read about Blandie curing the spanish of their enthusiasm for life. HA HA HAH

I thought maybe Erika felt a little ol' liveliness through the trousers and that's what made her think rod was cured.
 

Yes, I long to see the show again and again..I miss it so much....Never will there be a show like LFMB.Don't know if another novela will capture our hearts like that one..
 

See, I am of the different mind set regarding LFMB..I have to admit I watched in simocast..the us/mex version..I was surfed the net daily for updates..But once Lety went to Aca. I waited and waited and waited for the big turn around. I admit DA has been annoying for a month or so, but this is nothing compared to the 6 months of nothing happening on LFMB. The best thing I can say about LFMB is that it caused me to watch Betty LaFea on YouTube and I found it to be a much more rewarding experience. I think most of LFMB turned into Jaime Camil worship. Alas he and Fernando are two different people.
 

Enjoyed the recap, especially Dr. Blandie's potential effect on Spain. Nice how Rod and Gavi are always willing to share their intimate details with all and sundry in public places.
La Paloma
 

Beckster - I loved your recap! Unfortunately I hated the episode. Aaron verbally and physically abused Margarita and Bruno just shook his head like "boys will be boys". And then Rod and Gavi repeated their embarassing public fight. I envy those of you who enjoy their interaction - it just takes away from the show now for me. The Tequila "commercial" did make me laugh, though.

And at the risk of revealing the depth of my nerd-dom, I pre-ordered my copy of LFMB several weeks ago from Amazon.com, it's supposed to be out in early December. I missed the first half of the show, so I'm looking forward to it!
 

The Rod-Gavi airport scene was so disappointing. Atleast with Erika, Rodrgio did a good imitation of a grown MAN. With Gavi, he is back to being an adolescent. All that "wonderful" therapy down the tubes. And what's with the shirt and the one in the coming attractions? Why is he dressed like an adolescen? When he went with Erika for his "therapy" weekend, he looked like a chic MAN. I hope the R/G relationship grows up, because if not it will seem like a lot of useless watching and nailbiting when Erika came on the scene.
 

Just in case it matters to anyone, the LFMB DVD release is now delayed until February! (When I Googled to find out why, I found it has been entered in the Caray Caray LFMB area.)
 

wow. thanks for the recap. I thought the airport scene was funny. I must confess to being a Bollywood junkie, so I was thinking more that than the jets and a rumble. Plus, it is sort of Greek chorus-y. Maybe I just like the cheesiness. It's the trial lawyer in me.... sigh.

Aaron will get his......

and have you noticed that Bruno's moustache is just too dark?

VV.
 

I really thought that the Erica-Gavi scene was extremely sad, a real tear-jerker.

Of course that's only because I realize that I won't get a chance to see Dr. "Gee-your-hair-smells-pretty" Erika anymore. If it had been up to me, I would have kicked Gavi to the curb a long time ago!

Beckster - I really like your sense of humor and I could see you as a Navy wife. You've got grit!
