Destilando Tues Nov 13....danger in paradise
At the airport, Gaviota insists on finding out what happened with the Psychologist. She tells Rod that the doctora is sure he can be with someone else. 'why did she say that??!! Tell me! Di me!!" He says it's a theory, she gets upset and insists that he tell her what kind of 'theory' that was. He tells her he's only in love with her and he's immensely happy about her. He clarifies that he'll love her until death. Gavi's eyes start getting dreamy as he insists: "so tell me, will you come with me or not??!!". He pretends to leave, she starts getting worried (what is it with this push and pull game!!? Geez), but then he turns around he carries her to the security belt. She pleads he let her go " I..I...I don't have any clothing to wear!!". They start sharing their issues with the security guy who's probably wondering why he even came to work today. The security guy asks Gav if she has any will power. She clarifies that she lost her will power 4 years ago.
At the hacienda, Sofie receives a vist from Dona Jose and finds out that Frankie lied about his real parents. Dona Jose tearfully explains that she's a servant and Frankie has always been ashamed of her. She talks about how Maximiliano de la Vega kicked her out of the house when he found out she's pregnant...like father like son....she admits he's shameless and cannot go around the world hurting people. She feels it was her obligation to let Sofie know so he stops hurting her and her family. Sofie gives Dona J her ring and asks her to give it to Frankie when she sees him. I think Dona J should pocket it and trade it in for some well deserved money, but that's just me.
At Le Suite, Frankie leaves an unhappy Isa with her baby to go 'look for a job'..she reluctantly takes some money from the safe for him....she actually asks him if it's enough...I'd think that by now she'd know better, but anyhoo... he say yes of course...so she gives him 2000 more pesos.
In some town...Rod and Gav go clothing shopping... as usual, she wants to pay, he says no, she says yes...yada yada. He wins, and they kiss. Rod buys some things for him too; he gets 2 identical necklaces made from seashells.
At home, Clarita is talking on the phone with someone talking about Gavi: "como asi!! she said she'd come pick me up to go shopping!"
In San Luis Potosi, Rod and Gavi arrive at this beautiful cabin by a lake. G: I can't believe we're here..this is like a dream!! R: It's a dream...I hope it doesn't turn into a nightmare...I don't want to wake up and not find you next to me! .G: i'll awlays be there!
At Jalisco, Sanwanna runs into the guy...I forgot his name...he has the bags under his eyes and gap between his front teeth. Guy with bays: so you're back from seeing Hilario? S: yes, and guess what...he's become a snob! She lets him know that she's pregnant and Hilario dumped her after he found out. S: but that's OK, i won't be the first or the last woman who's got a baby without a dad!
At home, Clarita is talking to Hilario about Gavi's issues....this time he's not asking for tequila. C: they want to send Gavi to Londres, Capital of Inglaterra...! On Monday we leave...come visit us!! H: so....if the Patron was with that Psicologa, does that mean he's no longer with his Isa? Claritat tells him the gossip; we get a closeup of Hilario with some expression....I'm not sure if he's feeling guilty or if he's planning on some horizontal mambo with the love of his life.
For a sec, we see Frankie in the restaurant having a drink.
Back to Hillie...he tells Clarita how he remembers when Rod and Isa announced their baby news. H:Rod looked so happy! C: I don't even now why he married her if he didn't love her!!
At the cabin, Rod and Gavi find out they have no phone connection. He promises they will talk to Clarita from a restaurant. She asks him if she's still the love of his life. They kiss passionately; he reminds her that last time he was with a woman it was 2 years ago ...a lady that worked at the Montalvo corp....and it was a beautiful experience! He was also with a woman 4 years ago...she was beautiful...first time they made love it was under a tree in the agave fields..."it was amazing and I couldn't get my mind of her since then....now I'm in love with an eexecutive f the CRT!! How funny huh?? In conclusion, you were, are, and will always be the only person I can love." They kiss, then Kiss some more. He tells her he loves her, then abruptly breaks away. She looks worried. He tells her he's scared of her leaving him; she'lll have to stay with him forever. R: take it the way you want...like a threat, or even like a marriage proposal..." Caviota, dreamy eyed: matrimonio???" They hug and kiss as we hear the song play before the commercials..."pooooooor amaaarteeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
The commercials announce the upcoming Pasion... a gorgeous brad-pitt-in-legends-of-the-fall looking Sebastian Rully is crying about Camila.... ah, can't wait can't wait!
Back at the cabin, Gavi and Rod kiss....G: you think I was going to accept coming here with you ad then leaving you? No way! Rod, you made my eyes dry from crying so much. Now you're in deep trouble, cuz you won't be able to get rid of me. You'll have to be with me day and nigh until God grants us life. Do you think you'll be able to do that? R: Gaviota you are my life!! Song starts playing..his shirt is off, he's laying her down on the sofa as they kiss...then we get a closeup of their kiss....they look into each others eyes....I guess we're supposed to guess what's happening there. :-O
Next scene is at the restaurant in Mexico.....Franks is asking for another cup of champagne.; the waiter tells him his friend canceled the card. Frankie is offended, they waiter says 'no worries sir, we'll put it on the cuenta Walking in come set of high heels...we see a closeup of her...she looks at him and glances away..he keeps looking with a face suggesting he caught his next prey....she looks away and sits down. He asks the waiter who she is...the waiter says "her name is Priscilla and she usually comes to drink tea, though sometimes she comes with a friend." Frankie slowing pronounces her name as he glances gleefully at her, with $$ signs in his eyes...."Priscilla..."
Isa calls her parents at the Bahamas asking for money...her mom answers...Isa desperately wants to talk to her dad. Her mom, from their mansion in the Bahamas: "Isa, understand we're going though a hard time!!" She is able to get her husband on the phone after she insisting he talk to his only daughter. Isa is angry and desperate, and begs him that he pay. He says he has no money and it's Frankie's responsibility anyway. She ran off with that jerk, so now she better get him to move his arse. I: well, Frankie's looking for a job dad...ha! In your face! Isa's dad goes for his next best excuse "well, I'm very, very disappointed with you! Ergh, how could you have lied to all of us! Find a way out of your own problems...you stopped being my princesa a long time ago...!!". Isa is left yelling "Papa!! Papaaa!!!" Funny that's he's not disappointed in is wife for being his daughter's confidant... well, who said life's fair.
At the restaurant, Frankie goes towards Priscilla reminding himself "hopefully you did't foget the technique". He approaches her seductively...tells her he knows her from somewhere...uh, I think we have a lot on common...I'm..Bond, James bond..aka...De la Vega, Frankie Slimey De la Vega Ichisomething...to your service mademoiselle. I know your uncle from the Club....he was close friends with my dad. P: oh, so our families are related. F: no, not really...cuz my dad traveled a lot so I grew up in many different countries...I'm what they call....ehe ehe...a citizen of the world. So anyway, what happened to don Salomon? Priscilla falls like a prey to his glam, and they decide to share a drink.
At the hacienda, Sofie and granny talk about Frankie's lies. All Granny can say is: "so, that means his mother doesn't grow Bonsai plants??". Sofie can't wait until they divorce...Dani reminds them that the marriage is not valid since that wasn't his real name anyway. Granny finds that to be one good thing among all the bad ones...
From the restaurant in San Luis Potosi, Rod calls Clarita. R: I kidnapped your daughter but don't worry, I'll bring her back! I promise I will do all can to win your love back. C:como asi!! you know I love you, but please don't make my Gaviota suffer!! Gavi takes the phone: Clarita, everything happened very fast! No, I'm not crazy ma! C: Hija, r u sure of what u'r doiong? G: no worries ma, I know what I'm doing. C: so tell me darn it, are we leaving or stayin!!! You promised Avellaneda you'd go to Londres Capital de Inglaterra. G: ma, no worries I'll call you later and let you know about that. C: Gaviota, I'm so happy that you're happy!! I hope the Virgencita protects you! Rod: is she upset? Gavi says no, and she starts explaining how she promised Avellaneda she'd go to London. Gavi suggests she stay for Rod. Rod asks her how important that trip is for her. Gavi says it means a lot, she will be representing Mexican tequila in the world. Rod: it would be the high of your career...make your dreams come true...OK, that's all I wanted to know...I'll go with you". Gav: you're crazy!! Rod: it's important for you and for me, it's the realization of your dreams!! G: what about he hacienda!! Rod: well, we'll work that out...! And he's not able to finish his sentence before she kisses him and they kiss passionately.
At the restaurant in Mexico... Priscilla needs to go. Frankie asks her if she can stay for inner with him...Priscilla says sorry, I gotta go. They both talk about their divorce...She talks about her ex husband...some very rich guy. And you? Well, i was married to socialite Sofia Montalvo... do you know her? P: No, but I did see Aron Montalvo and Pamela's scandal in the newspaper. Frankie: ah, Aron Aron..I told him not to do it but he's very impulsive. Priscila leaves... from the bathroom, she calls her friend Sharono..."Sharon, don't worry, I won't waste your money. I found a catch, he's Frankie De la Vega!! Please send me your driver..I gotta impress him...ya know...hehehe wink wink!". Oh yeah....it would be so nice to see her suck the blood out of him!!
At the hacienda, Dani anwers the phone "aaaaaah!! Cunada!!" to Sofie and Pillie "Gavi is with Rod!" they all scream at the phone, welcoming Gavi to the family. G: here, talk to Rod. Wait, I can't leave him alone...remember the psicologa cured him so I gotta be extra careful! Rod takes the phone, Dani: Rod, where can we call you if there's a problem? Rod: no worries, we'll be calling often. Are there any problems?? Dani, nervous:"nnno...nnooo...all is ...ooo...ook". They're finished talking, and Pillie mentions how she's so happy he's sharing his life with Mariana.
At the restaurant, Gavi and Rod slow dance to classic Mexican music...sounds like from the 50's. Suddenly there's a fan somewhere, cuz Gavi's hair starts flying back like a cover girl commercial. They hug, then we see them on a hammock as the music keeps playing... we see them holding a gardenia and kissing each other in slow motion....as the song keeps going ..."perfume de gardeeeniaaaa es tu amor " (your love is like gardenia perfume ")
Miami, Florida: Aron is talking to some guy about his plans for the future with Agave Turquesa
At her home, Pamela is upset at her dad for giving away the info about Aron's fraud. She wanted to do it slowly....her mom reminds her that the sooner they put that behind them the better. Pamela thinks that she would only feel alive when she sees Aron humiliated begging for mercy and forgiveness.
At the suite, Frankie arrives to meet a disappointed Isa who'd stayed up waiting for him. He gives her the details about his "meeting", and that eventually he'll find a position of his category. Isa is upset, she's desperate and doesn't want to wait any longer. Isa: for once in your life respond like a man!!! Frankie: I'm doing what I can!! Isa: please understand Frankie...all went wrong with me; my world shattered like a castle in the wind. Please hug me!!" Frankie hugs her as he thought bubbles: ur becoming so annoying and wasting my patience!
At San Luis Potosi: Gavi and Rod wake up on some white sheets in bed. He hugs her as she sleeps and whispers how happy she's made him. We know that won't last long because...
Tomorrow:
Gavi (with new hairdo) and Rod are swearing each other love forever by some waterfall...he wants to get married right there. Meanwhile... all sorts of problems are uncovered at the hacienda...
- James finds out about the sulfate problem and goes ballistic
- Bruno gets a visit from Avellaneda stating that CRT will suspend Montalvo tequila production

Tash, Thanks for the quick and great recap. I was struck by a couple of things. First it's hard to think romantically about a couple only having sex every two years. That crime should carry the death penalty, no? Sure it does, but only for the woman who puts up with it!!
Also Abuela Pilar sniffing about the fake mother of Francisco not coming back to discuss bonsai growing techniques. Looks like sweet little Doña Jose will only offer dusting services...
And may the fit hit the Shan of de la Vega! This is going to be fun to see a mujer that bests him at his own game. oooheeee!

Thanks Tash for the detailed recap. I told Gavi not to worry about leaving with no clothes because Rod would buy her new clothes, and I was right. It was convenient that they found that outdoor bazaar. This is a recurring fantasy of mine... I guy buying me a complete new wardrobe on a surprise trip. In the meantime, I just charge clothes on the credit card...it's almost as good.... and hub is always surprised, so in a way, I am living my dream. Rod's gold and brown widestriped pullover made him look like a VERY LARGE bumble bee...and he did get busy, so he was a VERY LARGE busy bumble bee. Finally , we get some love scenes. Rod is a good dancer, and you know what they say about good dancers. I liked the song that he and Gavi swayed to...I give them a 10. Ema Pulida would give them a 2 probably., but you just can't please Ema. The love scene on the outdoor deck was hot...I hope that was a private deck. I guess when you only have sex every 2 years or so you are going for quality not quantity. Rod has had the least sex of any galan in any telenovela I've ever seen. In reality, I don't think you could talk a guy into a shopping spree before getting down to bizness. First things first...2 years is a long time. And, a shout out to Dr. E. for jumpstarting Rod.

Hehehe "Ema Pulida would give them a 2 probably" too funny...
I was thinking Rod reminded me of Charlie Brown with his striped shirt but a bumblee bee works too

Priscilla the Grifter! It's perfect! At last Frankie has met his match!!
She's less annoying, though - none of that crappy Frenchesque baloney from her!
I noticed that Frankie was watching carefully as Isa opened the safe. Perhaps he will make his move tonight. :(
Ricardo Sr. was already on my poopie list but the way he talked to Isa last night ("you stopped being my princess when I found out you were an adultress") was the last straw. HE was the only reason she stayed in her marriage for as long as she did. (Well, at first it was out of spite, but for the last year or so it's been because of the man she named her baby after.)
I'm starting to think maybe prison's too good for him, unless they dress him up like a phone and make him share a room with Aaron.

I'm missing something here. I thought that Rodrigo had cut ties with the CRT after his fall out with Gavi. Why would Avellaneda have to suspend Montalvo tequila production? really enjoyed your recap Tash!

Rodrigo just said that he didn't want any help from the PR department of the CRT. That doesn't mean that Montalvo tequila isn't subject to the CRT during an agave infestation, which is what is going on.

Thanks for the recap! Liked your James Bond comment - I can see Frankie deluding himself that he is the 21st century James. LOL
Great love scene with Rod & Gavi last night - glorious way to end their drought. Made me happy, and I don't really even care about them. But I could learn to care about Rodrigo after watching him in action last night....
Yet another trial from above for the happy couple, what with Patricio putting the finger on them for the bad tequila shipments.
Wasn't Patricio in cahoots with with Aron on that?
Priscilla and Frankie obviously read the same society pages. You called it, Julie, they're both grifters.
I'm glued to the t.v. screen with all the action now. It almost makes up for the endless boring epidoses of las brujas scheming, etc.

Furthermore, Rodrigo's "Ardente Pasion" tequila is his own personal venture, separate from the corporativo. He fired the CRT's PR dept. with respect to the launch of his own tequila.
But, as has already been mentioned, there is more to the CRT than its PR department. The CRT is a nonprofit regulatory body that oversees ALL tequila production. If a tequilero doesn't want to be subject to the CRT's rules, he has to stop marketing his product as tequila. (He can still market it as "mezcal.")

Thanks for clearing that up for me Anon and Julie. I was under the impression that state regulatory commissions couldn't promote "personal ventures" only give the yes or no to sell if their product meets certain standards. Wouldn't that be considered a "conflict of interest" if they promoted one person's tequila and not another's through their PR department? Or does the CRT PR dept have to promote anyone's tequila if it meets said standards?

I didn't find the buying clothes at the outdoor bazaar odd. That's pretty common in Mexico and i have a great hand painted dress and hat I once bought at one but where on earth did she find a place to try it on? As for Rod's duds ugh looked like he got them at a rummage sale, not flattering at all. And why didn't the airlines get his bag back for him?
Poor Clarita waiting around all day for Gavi to show up and take her shopping for the great trip to LondrescapitaldeInglaterra. You would think she might have made a simple phone call when they landed. Gavi does sometime act thoughtlessly.
Frankie is going to get skinned by one of his own kind. There is a real justice in that but one wonders if in the end he will have learned his lesson and get a job to feed his baby and Isa. I'm guessing no way in hell. Poor Isa I'm starting to feel very sorry for her with those cold manipulative parents of hers. There attitude really helps explain a lot about the way she acts like she does.
Well didn't Patirico turn into a dog blaming Rod and Gavi for the Montalvo problems. Gavi really should be in the clear tho since she is just the PR girl and nitwit Rod did cut the PR department out of the loop. Now i hope Patricio joins Araron in a prison cell.
I will admit to having a good laugh at the shrieked cuñada. Good thing there wasn't a lot of glass around or it would have shattered in a million pieces.
As for those somewhat insipid previews of Pirates it looks to me like I'm soon going to have to lump Rulli in with my other trio of bland blond galans - Soler, Strickler and Santander who apparently is also going to pop up in costume in this new epic.

Deciegirl, I think the blame that will come down to Gaviota and Rod pertains to their signing shipping documents when they were both running Montalvo corp. She was the general manager. Only when she went to the CRT did she get involved with PR activities.
Anya, I agree, I still enjoyed the steamy love scene too even though it took me a while to get over my anger/disappointment at Rod's prior behavior. Perhaps though it made him a better lover. One can always hope: practice makes perfect.
and Susanlynn, the bumble bee image works perfectly. It made me think of the two huge bumblebee balloons that come to Abq.'s Balloon Fiesta every October. At least his panza doesn't stick out like theirs do!

There is a CRT mark with a number on every bottle of Tequila. I think Aaron was falsifying these. I have examined many a bottle/label since this began. For research only.
Thank you Gavi/Rod for reintroducing me to Tequila. At least as long as the liver function tests keep coming back good.

Cherylnewmex - Thanks for the update. I came into this on a permanent basis this sometime around the time Gavi was selling books so missed where she could have been in trouble.
As for Aaron falsifying the CRT mark that would mean serious trouble for him. The CRT is not fooling around with people tampering with the product or calling it tequila when it doesn't meet parameters that have been set up and trade agreements that have been made.

I have been "examining" a lot of tequila bottles lately as well.
Montalvocorp has its own brand, then Aaron has his own Turquoise Tequila brand, and Rodrigo has his own Gavi Kissed My Bottle brand. In addition, Montalvocorp also wholesales tequila to others overseas for private branding.
After the CRT inspection, Aaron was detouring the wholesale stuff to cut it with rum (which, if you distill and filter it enough times, is almost as tasteless as vodka but a lot cheaper than tequila). The adulterated stuff was being sold in Eastern Europe, where (we're told) quality control is very lax.
The detouring was done with Patricio's help. Gavi and Rodrigo kept signing off on these irregular shipments because Onate (aka Larry the Snake) would wait until they were arguing, in a hurry, or otherwise distracted to give them the paperwork. They would sign it immediately just to get rid of him.
I don't think Aaron ever compromised the actual Montalvo-brand stuff, since his own family members would have noticed the difference the minute they ordered the stuff at a bar. I doubt that he compromised his own Turquesa brand, either - why bother, since he's getting, what, two grand per bottle for it.
I'm also not sure how the gangster Johnny Molina was involved, but I'm pretty sure he was in on it.
Lisa - that is a good question about the CRT helping with promotions. To tell the truth, I doubt that the real CRT has anything to do with promoting individual products - their job is supposed to promote and educate about tequila in general.
But the fictitious CRT has certainly had a lot to say about Cazadores's premium brand "Corzo." ALl I know about the stuff is that it's damn expensive!

No wonder Rod has not done the "dirty' in two years, he has spent two years crying. Now that he is in bumble bee attire, he can finally find a place to put his stinger.
Dr. Erica saying he is ready to love only means he is horny as hell.
As for Mr. Full Of Crap and his woman the adultress (according to Daddy) she needs to throw his Armani ass out the door. Isadora's Daddy has a lot of nerve.. seeing as he is part of the reason she is in this financial dodo.
I never understand what Aaron is saying. His Mexican lingo throws me off. What was he doing in Miami?
When is the final episode of the telenovela? Certainly hope not during Thanksgiving.
Thanks for the recap, always clarifies so many conversations the actors have.
JAX

Enjoyed your recap and timely expressions Tash :-0
I thought an annulment took years to be approved. Is that just another novela touch---that Rod got one in a few days?
Thanks Julie, you're such a wealth of info!
Clarita's going to LondrescapitaldeInglaterra in a few days, but hey Gavi needs to get away. It's always been about Gavi with Gavi. Fortunately, it's always been about Gavi with Clarita...

I'm not sure why Aaron hangs out in Miami either. For a while it was to spend quality time with Pamela, but now that she's out of the picture as far as he knows, his only pal there is Johnny Molina. And I'm kinda fuzzy on what he has to do with anything, although I'm sure it's something unethical. :)
Thanks to Tash for the recap and to everyone for all the great comments. I'm another who thought Rod was sporting the bumblebee look. Laughed when I read he has a place to put his stinger.
Don't know whether to feel pity or scorn for Priscilla. Frankie thinks he's found another pot of gold, but it wouldn't surprise me if his luck runs out.
I've never liked Isa, but her parents are truly disgusting and totally selfish. Loved Julie's idea to dress Big Ricardo like a phone and put him in a cell with Aaron.

Thanks for the beautiful recap. As usual, lots of fine points that I would have missed were spelled out. Thank heavens for Pricilla. I am estatic that Frankie met his match. I have a soft spot for Isa, since I know that she's not going to get any money from Rod's estate. She brought all of her problems on herself and even compounded her mistake by bringing Frankie into her life. Apparently she never heard that saying that forbidden fruit is seldom sweet. Or, you reap what you sow.

Great recap! I did notice how closely Frankie watched as Isa punched in the combo to the safe, all the while cooing at BigHeadedBaby to cover himself. And what was the word that Sra. Jose used to refer to herself "analfabetica"? Does this mean illiterate?
Love the way things are heating up. Even tho neither Rod nor Agave-ota really appeals to me, I was really digging those romantic scenes in the hammock and on the dance floor. At last!
Thanks, Agnes

Not only did I enjoy the romantic interplay between Rod and Gavi, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. I also think that it was very clever of the writers to have the good, the bad, and the ugly going on simultaneously. e.g Rod and Gavi...the good... Aaron and his sidekicks...the bad.....Frankie, Isa's parents, Sanjuana and bar man(what's his name?) the ugly..... I'm enjoying these extremes....
Great recap Tash! This was a pretty good episode - I get into the love scenes much more than the fights. Nice to see Carmelo and his gold teeth again!
For me, having the parents she has is enough punishment for Isa and her misdeeds. Ricardo is really low. And Patricio - I just don't get why he went along with Aaron in the first place. What did Aaron ever do for him but make him feel like an outsider? I don't get his motivation. Of course now he's just trying to save his own sorry behind.

Was the bartender, who was in the bar with Frankie, the same actor who played Celso, the security guard, in LFMB? It looked like him but more conservatively dressed.

Thanks for the recap. They are very helpful to me. I have a question about Frankie's paternity. Was Dona Jose saying that Maximiliano de la Vega is Frankie's father and kicked her out when he found out, or did he just kick her out because she was pregnant?

She said it was Frankie's GRANDPARENTS who kicked Jose out when they found out she was pregnant by their son - and they sent him, the son, to study in Europe.
