Destilando Amor - Nov. 15, 2007 while Rod and Gavi are away, all heck breaks loose at Montalvo corp.
* Rod teases Gavi for being late, Gavi sweetly bats her eyelashes and apologizes. They kiss in the palaba cafe.
* Dani hangs up the phone - she has a serious and sad look on her face. Elvis walks Grammy out of the room. Dani tells Nestor how worried she is about Pilar's health. Bruno calls Dani about where Rod is, she tells him that Rod has reunited with Gavi - they are together again. After she hangs up, she asks Nestor why Bruno is looking for Rod. Nestor says it's a grave problem and they could lose the farm.
* Bruno tells Fedra, Aaron and Minnie that Rod and Gavi are back together again.
* Rod and Gavi are together having a private lunch on their little rowboat on the lake. (looks more like a table and chairs on a canoe to me)
* Patricio and Fedra have an argument in the office about the fraudulent signed documents - she tells him that they are to blame it all on Gavi.
* Rod and Gavi are on their little rowboat in the middle of the lake near the waterfall. They toast their love with some tequila. They kiss.
* James, Roman and Crispin discuss a plan to save the agave crops and the farm. Sofia runs in with some valuable information she just received. Roman and Crispin leave to start their end of the plan. James and Sofia commisserate their losses due to the incompetency of Pancho de la Vega. James is depressed - Sofia is positive and says they will work hard together to overcome this and save Montalveno.
* Pancho meets with Priscilla (Laura Flores) in a restaurant. He works hard at sweet talking her. (not sure if she's buying it or not - she has a definite poker face right now). Lunch comes. Priscilla hands Pancho her card and leaves. He's proud of his new catch. As she leaves with the attendant, he hands her the phone. She calls Sharon to get her to call for a chauffeur for her - she so hates to take taxis. {thanks jardinera for the correction on the name}
* Jose is talking with Clarita about her conversation with Sofia. No sign of Pancho, only word about Rod.
* Isa mutters to her mirror.
* Jose and Clara continue talking. Clara talks Jose into staying at the apartment with her. Jose asks where Mariana is. Clara drops a few hints and makes Jose guess. Jose has no clue - and isn't very good with guessing games. Clara has to come out and say in San Luis Potosi with Rod! They celebrate.
* At night, Rod and Gavi are in the middle of a circle of tiki torches. She says it's perfect (so romantic). Rod says not just yet. He snaps his fingers and three mariachi come over to softly serenade them to the song "Por Amarte".
*** PASION PROMO #1 for tonight - "live the story that will enchant and steal your heart night after night - Pasion ... se acerca" - video of Ricardo, Santiago, Mario, and Camila. ***
* Isa asks Pancho where they are going to live - Japan or somewhere in Mexico. Pancho is shocked by the suggestion of leaving right now. Isa and Pancho argue over Pancho's new job and lady boss. He's confident. She's a bit jealous and upset. He leaves.
* In their romantic love tent, with rose petals spread all over the bed, Rod and Gavi make love.
* At the corporate offices, Nestor and Bruno have a heated discussion about who is to blame for the fraudulent exports. Nestor accuses Aaron and Larry the Snake - it would be just like them to do this. Bruno is so aghast that he continues to hold onto the thought that Gavi is at fault. Nestor asks him if he has any proof to substantiate blaming Gavi for this. Bruno doesn't have any and sits down in silence. Nestor then tells Bruno that Dani knows about this, but they haven't told Pilar anything. Aaron calls in. Bruno is angry that Aaron decided to travel to Miami instead of meeting at the office in Mexico. They argue. Aaron hangs up and tosses the phone on the table. He and Larry the snake laugh over their success. Bruno and Nestor are frustrated and upset over the diseased fields and damage it will have to the crops and the corporation's products.
*** PASION PROMO #2 -- cast list, starting with Fernando, and video clips ***
* At the Cascade de Tumul, Rod and Gavi are standing on the overlook over the waterfalls. They kiss.
* Video of the agave fields at sunset, twilight, dusk.
* Sofia, James, Roman, and fieldworkers are in the fields at night throwing grains of stuff on the plants to try to save the crops. Sofia stops, looks up to the sky and cries to her father for forgiveness. James sees her drop to her knees and wonders what's wrong. Sofia cries her guilt to him - over everything she's done to her brother and the family business - she thinks this is her penace for it. This time, it's James who has to give Sofia positive advice and support. They get back to saving the crops; with cheers and shouts of encouragement.
* Gavi and Rod in their romantic bed. Rod is half asleep. Gavi tries to wake him up to leave the bed. He doesn't want to, kisses her and pulls her back under the covers.
* Patricio and Lluvia are alone together discussing the fraudulent exports. Lluvia is scared that she will be implicated in the scandal also. Patricio has to work to calm her fears.
* Rod and Gavi together in the wooded area talking. They discuss where to have their wedding - they decide to have it in Mexico, with family, friends, and in agave fields.
* Crispin, James, Sofia and Roman are eating their breakfast in earnest after a hard night's work. James and Sofia wonder if they did enough. Ofelia gives them her positive prayers. SJ speaks up with her opinions about family. Ofelia asks how does she know. SJ says she is pregnant with her own child. Ofelia and Roman gives their opinions about parenthood.
* Meanwhile back in Mexico City, Clara is talking with Hilario. She is trying her best to convince Hilario to visit SJ. He hates the idea - and won't get together with that woman to raise someone else's child. She asks if he's sure about that. He looks stunned. She says he has to go, if only to find out the truth about the paternity. Hilario agrees to go to Montalveno and convince SJ to agree to a paternity test on the baby.
* Aaron finally arrives at the corporate offices and storms into his father's office. Aaron is still hot and determined to shout his accusations of fraud on Rod and Gavi. Bruno tells him that the authorities are now involved. Aaron continues with his ranting about Rod and Gavi being to blame for all this. Patricio and Bruno want to see some proof from Aaron to back up his accusations. Aaron starts to shout his proof in detail to back up his statements. Bruno and Patricio are stunned.
*** PASION PROMO #3 -- the storybook fairy of Pasion ... se acerca (the video showed a kiss between Ricardo and Camila) ***
* Aaron storms out of the office and down the hallway. Patricio stops him and starts to scold him about accusing his own cousin of fraud. Aaron says it may be hard to hear, but he is saving himself now and advises Patricio to do the same. Patricio asks about Lluvia being implicated. Aaron says that he is only interested in blaming the ultimate one responsible -- ROD!
* Pancho is on the phone with Priscilla, making a date to meet (the dirty two-timing dog). Pancho switches his tone to a more work-related professional one when Isa walks into the room with Ricky. Isa is suspicious. He tells her about his work-related dinner meeting. Isa says great, after she feeds Ricky, she will go with him. Pancho denies the request. She says fine, she will stay there, but tomorrow they will be moving. Pancho is shocked by the idea, and sweet talks her into doing exactly what he decides.
* Aaron meets with the authorities in a transcribed official session. Aaron lays out all the proof he has on the fraud and how it implicates Rod and Gavi. Aaron gives his statement about all the documents.
ADVANCE: Pancho is playing the enchanting schmuck; Gavi is enchanted to be with Rod again; Rod slugs Aaron in front of his aunt and uncle - motive, Aaron wants to put him in jail.

I missed a fine point. Is Priscilla the former lover of Aaron? Whoa, zoomed right past me.
So Sophie can save the agaves? What does she know that the others don't? And wasn't Crispin in cahoots with Francisco?
Thank every recapper. I obviously don't know enough Spanish to even start to understand the majority of the story.
Wasn't it funny, all those valiant workers in the dark randomly throwing white dust all over each other? What would OSHA say?
If I could add a couple things, and if I'm not mistaken, my Closed Captions say Sharon, not Aaron, whenever Priscilla gets on the phone to "impress de la Vega from the Montalvo tequila fortune" & to beg for a chauffer, so I don't think Aaron has any part in this. She owes this woman a huge lot of money like Pancho owes Estefano.
========
Also, according to esmas notes they were putting "cal"(which translates to lime, but then why with bare hands?) on the plants, including the "organico" plants to avoid any fire kicking up winds and spreading the spore over to whatever maturest plants (the 6 yr. ones I was thinking) they were supposed to be able to save a little part of according to the CRT techs. I am confused over this end of the storyline, but that was part of what James explained to Sofia at the table I believe.
=======
Isa I believe was being sarcastic about "Japan" and any job interview/offer. She doesn't really believe Frankie isn't pulling the same ruse on her as with Sofia and he swears it's with that rich corporate guy with the initials M. F. (too early to remember the name) when he's covering up his date with Priscilla who he figures to scam, is the way I'm understanding this thing.
=====
I was reading C/C and listening too which always slows me down, but I think Aaron also told Pat that this crime couldn't be made to go away with cash or a huge fine, only jailtime and he wasn't going to be the one to do it. He promised Pat to take care of Rod's problem as signator/corporate officer in charge after he got the corporation up and running again. However, he went to the authorities and did exactly the opposite.
=======
I was joking last night about how many times that scene had to be redone due to oopses and falling into the lake, but had no idea they nearly died. That was total stupidity from whoever put that scene together/set it, choreographed it or whatever you want to call it!
===
I hate to think I'm getting old, but I think all those graphic lagoon and bed scenes were catching up to me in age! Even the hubster was yelling at the screen to get back to the real story cuz he was getting impatient with 3 nights of these tongue and spit swapping scenes going ad nauseum. This is definitive evidence to me that the writers had stretched out the time to this long awaited reunion soooo long that it was yesterday's news and overly anticlimactic in more ways than one........

Rosie "O", and not the famous one....
And I loved the nature scenes. May be I have to take some side trips while in Riviera Maya next April and something like waterfall would be on my way. Hmm.
Back to the story line. I hope Patricio will get to his inner good and make something positive regarding the unveiling this fraud.
I like this match between Panchito and whatever her name is. I hope we will see something happens between them before he gets to jail for all his deeds.
I was very surprised with this meal episode when they were eating after putting all nite something on agave without even flashing off this white stuff from them. Isn't this dangerous? Actually Sophia was clean but is this just to show her high class, that she knows to wash her hands before meal?

"cal" is lime, could irritate the skin, possibly, definitely would irritate lungs. Seriously doubt that it would have much effect against a fungal plaga, especially in the haphazard way they were applying it.
Crispin wasn't involved with the sulfato de cobre debacle, but did give Pancho de la Salida the idea of selling it off. He is just a dupe and a dope.
When/how are the anvils gonna fall on de la Salida?
Keep up the good work. recappers! my scedule has caused me to miss several episodes, so the recaps really help....dorado dave
The boat scene looked awkward and terribly dangerous. Why on earth would you put a table with glasses and wine bottle in a canoe and then how awkward it looked for Rodrigo to paddle from that high position. The boat didn't go anywhere he wanted it looked like. I kept expecting them to capsize as part of the story, but sorry to hear it really happened.
Priscilla seems like the exact female counterpart to Francisco. She is as much of a scum bag as he and he doesn't seem to have a clue. She isn't all that pretty but he seems to have gotten over Isadora the minute he really had her. Oh fickle love. All the crazy frenetic energy in the other scenes were a good counterpoint to the love in the tropics moments of Rod and Gavi. But you know it's going to be awful until the end for them...
I thought that Sophia "Norma Rae" Montalvo shouting in the fields was pretty shrill. She's learning her lesson, but does her voice really have to hit that horrible pitch? What that cal probably did to her manicure. Maybe she can get a job as a social worker at the Casa for Wayward Jimadoras at Mirasoles once it is up and running.
I think the love scenes are just beautiful, more for the scenery than the smooching; did anyone count kisses? San Luis Potosi has some really spectacular sights.
Watching Frankie get done by Connie (aka: Priscilla) is really rich. What a pathetic payaso.
VV.
I liked the smoochy love scenes - making up for the drought, I say.
Could have done without the boat scene.
I think Patricio is going to abandon the dark side and tell the truth about the adulterated tequila. But,in novela fashion, probably not before Rod the Bod & Gavi are put through hell.
Sofie in the field with a bandana over her face to protect her. They way she was tossing that powder around made me think she looked just like Tinkerbell scattering fairy dust as she danced through the aqave. And, since this is novelaland it will probably stop the plague dead in its track. I've got a few blue agave in my front yard, and two of them look pretty bad off. I wonder if I can get the gardener to toss some magic powder on them to save them as well.
Who will wimp out first on the illegal activities? My guess is Patricio. He looked for a minute like he was perfectly willing to throw Lluvia under the bus but he might have some vestige of conscience which Aron and his Mama clearly do not.
Interesting the Aron was supposed to be in Miami but was actually in the Cayman Islands. I suspect he is laundering money or stashing it in an off shore account.
SJ seems to have mellowed considerably. I hope she stands her ground and tells big head no brains Hilario to get lost when he works up the nerve to ask for a DNA test.

Beckster, that was my thought exactly! The only thing they could have done better was have the hacienda burning in the background!!
And Oldman, Bester, and DecieGirl, the Tara references are just too much fun. Gone With the Agave...
Aaron is flipping back and forth with his usual lying telling Patricio that he is really going to save Rodrigo right after he saves himself and then Patricio and then Lluvia, yeah sure.... He seems to tell each person just what he thinks they want to hear so they will go along with his fraud and corruption. Can't wait to see him in a cell with no cell phone....
: >))
BTW, did anybody notice that kissing scene near the tiki torches when EY made like AR had just bitten him and frowned and shook his head? Somebody in production screwed up the editing and I wondered if it was on purpose or just carelessness.

Susanlynn: what you said about your daddy makes sense since part of the infestation was with those brown worms they showed us a couple nights ago (cannot remember the Spanish name they gave them)// and yes, I remembered the actors from Mundo you pointed out.
I also thought the boat scene was a bit much. A table and chairs? On a canoe???? Come on! No wonder they had an accident!
Can't wait for Beckster's recap!!!
Also am looking forward to comments all weekend since there is no show tonight!!!! :)
VV.
-janet/gaffa...
I believe James to be more Ashley like.
Who watched the Awards?
Shout out to Joselyn and be still my heart Demian..
Didn't these actually take place a while back? I think I had already heard Rod (Eduardo), beat out Jaime Camil. Jaime Camil, dude that suit was 70's stairway to heaven prom worthy.
Also my total favorite older, but totally hawt, Enrique Roche. He just is so good at bringing the bad.
Also the commercial for Pasion..while I normally don't favor the anglo looking boys. I don't know who William Levy is (but I would give him free grog, if my name was Brandy & I was working in a bar)
J.R. :)
I loved the interaction between JC and EY. They seem to be very good friends and while in DA Eduardo looks like a giant hulk it looks like he and JC are about the same size. It must be that big head of his.
Dumb as a box of hair! You're a funny gal, Julie...

I also was surprised at the rather casual dress code for the awards show…
I also thought the boat floating scenes looked very uncomfortable and shaky. Not surprised they ended up in the lake.
At the awards show, it was a case of the women dressed up and the men dressed down. Loved the description of JC's blue prom suit!
It was good to see the LFMB cast again. I thought Jose Jose was a sentimental favorite winner, although he was good. I would have voted for Luigi (Sergio Mayer?)
La Paloma
Suellen never forgave Scarlett for stealing Frank K. from her. Will was not of "their class", and didn't have a penny, but was a hard worker, and took care of Tara.
Seriously I would have a total heart of gold and only offer that to good looking pirates..
PS..Jaime Camil lovers don't hate me but, I still have 70's flashbacks over that suit.
I saw Jose Jose on Don Francisco’s talk show saying the part saved his life – he was in bed with depression after his voice got wrecked and this got him up and going again.
Which also explains why I didn't realize that Priscilla The Grifter was Regina from Mundo De Fieras until someone else pointed it out.
I also noticed during the awards show that there weren't any seat-fillers. It was only recently that I knew there was such a thing. Now when I see empty seats at an awards show, it's quite jarring!
Jaime Camil seems to be confused with Fernando on LFMB. He is not Mr. Fashion Statement.Who puts on a pair of white shoes with an Armani suit.??. Jeez..
I can walk into a restaurant here in Florida and see enough polyester pants and white shoes to start bonfire..Enough of the white patent shoes and blue poly sports coats of the 70's..
