Amar sin Limites Tues. Dec 11 - He's baacckk...

After scenes of dancing at the wedding, Ceci's flashback (and flashforward), bedroom scenes with Diego and Azul, we get to Tuesday' episode....

Diego, Azul and Katy are getting a house of their own with a lawn, marble steps and fully furnished with a big screen TV and everything. (Do Azul and Katy get Mo's money while he's in jail or are they living off Eva's money? Maybe Diego became an instant millionaire with that one fashion show).

We see Azul looking studious while Emilia and Katy are in some sort of therapy. Then there is a fashion show featuring Diego's creations with many of are regulars in the audience. I think that was Ceci in one of those furry coats. Azul is seen in her graduation gown, many congratulations flying. Up until now there has been no dialogue, just a collage of scenes.

Then we get a banner that says Much Later....

Azul is laying around reading when Diego brings her a big bouquet of flowers. They chat about how happy they are, without the threat of death and incurable disease hanging over them. They want to start working on a family.

A nun comes by the boutique where Diego is working on his fashion line to pick up a check from Diego for their orphanage. The nun is very grateful for all the money and support Diego has given to them. He explains that he and Azul would like to have a baby and the nun says they will pray for that to happen.

As Diego sits alone working, a woman enters the room carrying a bag and walks up behind him, running her hand over his shoulder. We can't see who it is but when Diego looks up, he is stunned. Commercial.

It is Silvana. They are both happy to see each other, pleased with each other's success. She has come for a weekend of photo sessions in exotic Mexico. Isela has not come with her, she is dating a Japanese gentleman, spending the evenings contemplating the silence. Silvana invites Diego to go out to eat and chat but Diego says he always eats with his two princesses. Silvana doesn't look too happy but tries to graciously say she would love to see Katy...of and Azul too.

Azul takes a call from Diego with the news that Silvana is in town. She reminds Diego that she has to go to visit kids in the town of Tres Marias, just like every Thursday. Azul tells Ceci that Silvana will be coming over to eat a bit later. Ceci rolls her eyes.

Diego tells Silvana that it will be a little later before they can all get together. Diego is impressed by how much Silvana has changed, how sure of herself she is now. Silvana asks where is everyone, she'd like to say hi. Everyone is away at a fashion and makeup show. People there are looking at possibly showing some of Julio and Diego's designs and featuring their models (I think that's the story). It turns out that that is where Silvana is going.

Ceci is ranting at Azul about why couldn't Silvana just stay in Japan. Azul is taking it fine and trying to calm Ceci down, reassuring her that she's a fine model herself. Ceci can't believe Azul is taking it so well, seeing as Silvana was her rival for Diego. Azul says she's fine with it because Silvana has made heself a new life and Azul and Diego are happily married now. Katy comes running in from school. She has made Azul a bracelet. Azul fawns all over Katy and Ceci wants a bracelet too. Azul wishes her luck.

Gaspar and Chucho are chatting when Ceci runs in to find out the fashion news. Chucho and Gaspar believe that things are going their way and Ceci is in. Ceci is thrilled that this will be her chance at being an international model.

Silvana is meeting with two men. They want a contract with her but she puts a clause in there that she wants to work directly with Diego Moran...and gives a scheming little smile. The men agree and she says, where do I sign?

Clemi and Anibal are visiting Diego and Katy. Katy likes when the grandparents visit since they always get great desserts. Anibal says he's gained a lot of weight since he got married. (WHAT? They didn't even show that?)

Silvana visits with Gloria. She too is impressed how much Silvana has changed. Gloria and Chucho are getting along great and Silvana asks why he hasn't asked Gloria to marry him yet. She says something about the hotline but I couldn't understand what it was. Silvana wants to stay in the hotel rather than with Gloria, nothing personal.

The family, sin Azul, at Casa Diego Moran is happily chatting, much too happy which means something bad must happen soon. A TV shows a newscast about the escape of three prisoners. Clemi looks worried and asks "Isn't that where Mauricio is?"

Azul is chatting with a woman in the town of Tres Marias, next to the horses and the stone huts. Azul has to run since she has a dinner date with her husband and daughter and they are leaving on vacation the next day. The bad, bad music plays and we see Mo climbing over the rocks, his insane look on his face.

Chucho, Gaspar and Ceci are talking fashion, dreaming about her famous career. She laments the fact that Luis has stopped writing her as often. Chucho, being one of the more grounded people in this novela, says that he is not a boyfriend, he is only a memory. But she is still hoping he will come back. She says this is the first time she's ever been in love. Gaspar asks "Never before?" as we all know of that illfated situation with Ahhhndresss. But she says that was just a crush. Luis is the only one.

The next setting is in Madrid. We see the lovely Luis packing to go to Mexico. He chats with a friend, Mario. From this exchange, I think Luis is going to set up a neonatal clinic for those who can't afford much with the support of Mario's father. I'm not sure. He asks Mario, a gynecologist, if he wants to come with him.

The newscast continues. Clemi is afraid that it's Mo who has escaped but there are no names for the fugitives. Diego says Don't even say that - especially not in front of Katy. Diego wants to call Azul but Anibal talks him out of it, since they don't have any names. Silvana arrives.

Mo is driving, following Azul in her car. She keeps looking into her rear view mirror, annoyed at the jerk behind her. Mo calls her cellphone (same number she had before?). She goes to answer it but he hangs up. He rings again. She doesn't know it's him. Since she can't get rid of the jerk behind her, she pulls over. When the car behind her pulls off too and parks in front of her, she grabs her purse and goes to confront the idiotic driver. (Bad bad idea on any day, even if you don't have a psycho ex husband). She starts yelling as she walks up to the driver's door, looks in the window and is, to put it mildly, impactada. Mo smirks evily and jumps out of the car. He grabs her as she tries to run, and slams her up against the car.

Mo demands: Why did you let this happen? We could have been so happy but you preferred that imbecil Diego. You sent me to prison.You married him and took my daughter. All that time I loved you but now I hate you. You're going to pay for every second I was in prison. You're going to wish you had never been born.

He sees her wedding ring and makes her take it off. Her cellphone is ringing in her purse. She tries to get it but he rips it from her grasp and throws both the cellphone and the wedding ring in the car. He gets out some handcuffs and drags her back to her car, kicking and screaming. He handcuffs her to the door, goes to the trunk of his car and gets out a gas can. He splashes gas all over his car while she is behind him, handcuffed to her own car. Music plays ominously. He lights a match, sets his car on fire and sends it crashing down a steep hill into the water below in an impressive fiery ball. Azul watches from behind him. He proudly surveys his handiwork then returns to Azul. He says Diego will never come looking for her because he will think she's dead.

(A side note - he just sent his own car burning over the hill. If he wanted everyone to think that Azul was dead, shouldn't he have sent HER car down?)

He undoes her handcuff and she runs but doesn't get far before he catches her. She begs him to let her go, for Katy's sake. They struggle dangerously close to the edge of the embankment. She falls over and tumbles over the edge, lying lifelessly at the bottom, bloody and still. Mo starts down but isn't able to get to her. He says he didn't want it to come out like this, he wanted the three of them to be together, him, her and Katy. He figures that she's dead, sheds a couple tears, and leaves to go get Katy. He drives off just as a police car pulls up behind him. The police see the wreck below and call for help. They drive off after Mo, thinking he is one of the fugitives and responsible for the wreck.

Clemi and Anibal chat with Silvana as Diego paces in the background with his cellphone to his ear. He can't get Azul on her cellphone and is worried. The newscast announces a familiar name as one of the fugitives. Everyone is impactados.

Ceci is modelling for Chucho and Gaspar, in anticipation of her new international career. Julio comes in. He chastises the men for telling Ceci things they shouldn't have. He breaks the news to Ceci that she wasn't chosen. They picked another model. Of course, they chose Silvana.

Ceci comes in at Diego's house. She thinks all the long faces are for her not getting the fashion contract but they tell her that Mo has escaped. Meanwhile, Azul is not dead. She starts moving on the side of the hill, bloody and dazed. Diego demands of Chonita if she's sure Azul went to the town. Chonita is scared because he's yelling and his Mom reprimands him and sends her for tea. Katy comes in and runs to Silvana. Katy says she sees Silvana on TV and chats about her mami and their upcoming vacation and getting a new baby. Silvana leaves the room with Katy. Diego leaves to go look for Azul. Silvana comes back out with Katy and Diego is gone.Ceci takes Katy to the kitchen, Silvana leaves also. Clemi and Anibal are left to wait for news.

Meanwhile the police car is chasing Mo. Azul is slowly crawling up the slope. Mo comes up to a large truck blocking the road. He can't get by it so he abandons the car and runs off into the woods. The police get out of their car but can't find Mo. They call for backup. Mo is running when the backup arrives. They shoot him and he falls, looking like a goner....

Only the next episode will tell......

Thanks for the recap Sally.

I really think this show should have been wrapped up and put to bed last week. It all seems filler and rushed story telling. Like we are supposed to root for Ceci and Luis and we've only seen them together twice. I rooted more for her and Andres to get together and he was an abuelo killer.

And Silvana, why couldn't Andres have offed her back in the beginning of the show. She's one character I wouldn't have missed.
 

Thanks so much Sally! Recapping this novela in its throes is clearly challenging with all the plot changes, new characters, and plot lines finished off with some brief remark or conversation.

I agree Diego seems to have gotten instant success judging from his palatial house. They must not have had a budget for extras, however, because Diego's fashion show only had 5 or 6 models and Azul's graduation had less than 10 people. A far cry from Caty's school presentation at the beginning of this show which was attended by like 100 people.

So they are making Silvana into an evil character again! With a bad haircut too (from the previews).

I didn't get the whole Chucho-Gloria thing either even though I played it over a couple of times. I think Silvana asks her why she and Chucho haven't gotten married and Gloria says that when Chucho found out about her hotline, it dashed his image of her as proper lady (virginal, she says but obviously not literally since she has a daughter). I couldn't tell though, if that meant that they are no longer going out or just aren't serious anymore.

Thanks for clearing up the which car was burned thing. I got confused about that. It didn't make sense to me either except that the wedding rings were in the burned car, not his car right? Otherwise, why did they dwell on that?

I have to admit the first thing I thought when I saw Azul (and her stunt double) roll down the hill was Oh, No, death by road rash, just like in Duelo! I remember seeing those endless scenes of the villain's Dad rolling into a gravel pit. I think somebody else made their demise that way in that novela too. Between the stunt person/actor obviously rolling themselves down the hill and the lack of speed, it's got to be one of the least realistic telenovela deaths that there is.

It's nice to know that the cops want to catch a fugitive more than they want to try to save somebody's life. I don't think it works that way here. I think they would radio directions for someone to chase the suspect and go assist possible victims first.

The previews showed Mo still alive but not able or not willing to say what happened to Azul. Since Azul doesn't appear to be dead, I think we must be in for a bout of that common Telenovela disease, AMNESIA!
 

I thought the show was ending after the marriage. How much longer? I think the rings being shown will be like this. Police look in the car and see no one. They see the rings and assume that she burn't to a crisp and is dust, leaving only the rings. Or it can be that they want diego to think that she threw the rings away and ran off with otra novio. Looks like Silvana will assume azul is dead and make a play for diego. that's the impression I got from the look on her face at the end. Ret
 

Thanks for the recap, I was also totallly lost on the car thing. Based on the previews, I agree that we're probably in for a tedious bout of "Azul is dead/No I refuse to believe it" junk. And probably, as Margaret said, a little amnesia. Why on earth didn't they end it with the weddings? Oh well, gotta admit it's a little different from the norm (or is it? I'm still rather new to the whole telenovela experience).

I wasn't able to post yesterday, but speaking of weddings... I couldn't help it, at Arnoldo's wedding when the dad came in and made his speech, I had a complete flashback to the movie Heathers. I was just waiting for him to shout out "I love my dead gay son". I think I watch too many movies... ;o)

Does anyone know if the upcoming Desperate Housewives will be replacing this once it's over? Any news on that? Thanks!!!
