Pasion - Feb. 12, 2008 confession is good for the soul
* Rico enters the bedroom and interrupts Cami and Jimena's conversation. Cami makes excuses why she doesn't feel like eating in the dining room with Lis and Fran, plus Jimena just got here. Jimena says don't worry about her, she'll take care of her own dinner and leaves. Rico wonders if he was too abrupt; Cami says no he was just perfect. They smile and hug and kiss. Rico tells her about his two boats. Cami knows all about the Salamander; he tells her about his new one, he named it the Camila, in her honor. She's touched. They kiss. He says that destiny brought them together, and G-d willing, they will be together forever. They kiss passionately.
* Fran and Lis stop in the hallway as the maids bring food trays to Rico and Cami's room. Lis loses her appetite and heads back to their room. Fran follows.
* Mario and Jimena eat together, alone. Mario explains the sailing life, to a sailor the sea forever calls to them. Jimena asks about women being on board ship; Mario explains women aren't allowed, they stay at home. Jimena explains Cami's fears and worries and says Rico is retired. Mario says not now, maybe someday, if they are really lucky. Jimena wonders about telling Mario a secret - Mario is curious and wants to know who it is about; Jimena looks at him and decides against it, he may just tell Rico. Mario irritates her; she gets up to leave. He presses about the secret, must be important. She plays hard to get. He pulls her close and plants a kiss on her lips. She pulls herself away. "I hope you don't think that kiss convinced you of anything about me," says Jimena. Mario says, "No, but your eyes did." She is annoyed and leaves. Mario stands alone, looking quite curious and enchanted.
* Sofia, Fortunata, Ursula and Manuela are sitting and talking in the formal salon. Manuela discusses the break-in at her house with them. Sofia wonders if any papers were taken. Manuela says her dad will be home soon and can find out. Fortunata expresses her opinions on the matter, then asks about Jorge. Sofia replies where he is. Manuela mentions talking with Ascanio in town about the concession papers for Justo's businesses - they discuss the situation. Jorge, Uriel and Mateo appear in the salon and greet the ladies. Manuela and Uriel exchange looks; Manuela is shy and nervous. Ursula thanks her dad for releasing Santo. Jorge says you're welcome and exchanges looks with Sofia. Sofia is indifferent to him and his pals. Jorge and his pals leave. Ursula giggles.
* In office, Jorge, Uriel and Mateo talk. Uriel is interested in Manuela, and wonders what Alberto would say to it. Jorge replies. Mateo then chimes in with his interest in running the mill, instead of Gonzalo. Jorge wants to wait, if the family can buy it, fine, if not, pity to them.
* Santo finds Ines crying on bench outside their front gate. Santo tells her he's concerned over their mother's change of attitude towards Ursula. Ines thinks it may be because of his arrest and then everything with Justo's stroke and businesses. Santo says no it has to be something else. Ines cries to Santo about wanting to cancel the wedding with Vasco, and tells him her reasons. Santo sides with Ofelia on the issue. As they walk towards the front of the shop, Santo tells her of all his errors in the name of love with Cami; he knows she's a good person and thinks she should go ahead and marry Vasco, he's a good person and she may be the one who can help him change and actually be a better man. Vasco and Ines hug.
* In her bedroom, Ursula is in her underwear on the bed looking at her picture book and teasing Manuela for having a crush on Ascanio. Manuela is embarrassed and upset by the teasing. Fortunata mentions that Alberto may not agree with Ascanio courting Manuela, he isn't in the same social circle. Ursula continues to tease and shows Manuela a picture in her book. Manuela leaves quickly. Fortunata scolds Ursula for teasing Manuela like that. Ursula replies. Fortunata asks Ursula if she's still obsessed with Santo. Ursula says she's enchanted by his tenderness.
* In the raguan, Jorge apologizes to Sofia for slapping her the other day. He then explains his actions against Vasco (for seducing Ursula), and Santo's arrest (due to his insults in defense of Cami), which ultimately led to Jorge taking the concessions away from Justo. Sofia snaps back in reply. Jorge scolds Sofia for leaving and being witness to Rico and Cami's wedding at Monte Carmelo. Sofia briefly explains her reason. They talk about the lack of progress in finding a husband for Ursula, she's not that interested says Sofia. This prompt Sofia to ask Jorge about what he would do if he found out he had an illegitimate son. Jorge says if he was dignified and proper then he would recognize him, but if he was illiterate and a bum then no way, he wouldn't want to even know of his existence. Jorge then mentions to Sofia about Uriel's interest in Manuela and tells her to end the search. Jorge leaves. Sofia grumbles.
* At dinner in their room, Rico confesses to Cami the truth about his past. He starts out by telling her the part where he was accused of murder, his uncle made him disappear and his mother went along with the decision - she didn't want her son in prison. So he became a fugitive and ended up in the pirate world, where he had to decide to either become one or die. He chose to become one, and has been trapped in that life forever. Cami is impactado as he tells her that he isn't really a spy for the Spanish crown, undercover as a pirate, but he is really a pirate. Cami wonders about everything he's been telling her of his wealth being stolen and the investigation into Jorge and Alberto's connection to the ambushes. He says that's all true, but he doesn't have enough to prove it yet. Cami wonders why he didn't tell her this in the beginning - he explains his reasons. Cami then wonders why when they fell in love, he didn't come clean with her. He was scared of losing her, he wanted to get his money back and get a pardon from the Spanish crown to clear his name, but everything happened so fast. Cami asks to help him with his investigation of Jorge and Alberto, or maybe Sofia can help. Rico declines the offer/suggestion. Rico grumbles to her about having to use his fake name for their marriage certificate. They discuss how to handle the lie with her family, especially her dad.
* In the kitchen at the Darien house, Vasco talks with Ascanio and gives him the list of addresses of places to search for Bernie. Vasco tells Ascanio about his plan to marry Ines and move her to the house after the ceremony. Ascanio congratulates him and says he's getting a pearl for a wife. Vasco goes inside.
* In bed, Cami is crying. Rico has to reassure her about the deception, all will work out fine. She's scared about Jorge - he knows Rico is a pirate, and may want him dead. Rico gets Cami to laugh. He says he's " not stupid, just stupid in love (with her), very in love (with her)". They make love.
* Next morning, Lis and Fran wash up in their room. Fran complains about the people in the house and in town - she wants to go back to La Mariana. Lis didn't like life in La Mariana, she only had her Aunt Mercedes to visit; here she has more people to talk with and visit (like Santo and his family). Fran still doesn't understand. They complain about Cami, Jimena and Mario. Lis goes to her chair and starts to cry about having a hard time accepting that Rico married Cami. She refuses to marry or even court Alberto - he reminds her too much of her dad. Fran thinks Alberto is a fine man for her to be courting. Lis is adamant if he is the last man on earth, she rather be with Rico or no one.
* As Cami helps Rico get dressed in their bedroom, Rico talks with Cami about his trip to San Juan, and his investigation of Alberto and Jorge. She wonders when they will be able to live a normal life. He first plans to get his money back, clear his name and then he can become a honest merchant ship captain (he is adamant about merchant, not pirate.)
* Ascanio talks with Santo as they go to the shop. Ascanio needs time off to take a trip for a few days. Santo grants permission, and hands him a money bag - and won't let Ascanio refuse to accept it.
* In the yard of the hacienda, Rico and Mario meet. Rico tells him to saddle up two horses, he and Mario will be the only ones to go on this trip - the rest are to keep watch and care for his wife while they are away in San Juan. Mario tells Rico about his conversation with Jimena last night - she knows some secret, he doesn't know what it is but it could be important. Mario leaves.
* Inside the hall, Cami and Jimena talk as they head to the salon about Rico's confession to her last night. Cami is scared of the implications with Jorge, also she doesn't know how to take that he lied to her - thinks one lie may lead to another and another. Jimena asks if she loves him. She does. Jimena says then accept him as is and that's that (pa-tan-tan).
* Rico is impatiently waiting outside; he asks the maid where Cami is; she says in the salon. He runs up the stairs and goes inside.
* Rico stands at the door and listens to Cami and Jimena discuss Jimena's talk with Vasco in the field - Jimena told Vasco about Rico losing his money in the ambush and then discussing using Vasco's keys to sneak into the mansion and spy on Jorge. Rico enters and interrupts - he scowls at the ladies. Cami stands and quickly apologizes and explains the conversation. Jimena swears Vasco is the only one she told his secret. Rico cuts Jimena off, and talks with Cami - he is ready to leave - she tells him about her brother's wedding and asks if San Juan is far away. He says yes. They leave. Jimena stands alone and nervous.
* In the hallway, Cami apologizes to Rico again for telling Jimena his secret - she needed to talk to someone. He whispers she should've talked with him. They go outside.
* In the yard, Mario is on his horse waiting. Cami apologizes again to Rico. He whispers quietly and explains to her that he wants their personal matters to stay only between them, not fodder for the town gossips. He tells her he will be gone several days. He mounts his horse and leaves with Mario.
* In the hallway, Lis and Fran see Cami enter and stop her. They ask who is outside; Cami looks at them. Lis asks about Rico. She says he just left on a trip. Lis asks, A trip? To where? Cami doesn't respond, and leaves quickly.
* Rico and Mario ride along the trail. They talk about where Jorge and Alberto may have hid the chests and money. Rico thinks that's a lost cause, and wants them to focus on investigating and getting lots of proof that Alberto and Jorge are responsible for the ambushes.
* In the salon, Ursula, Fortunata and Manuela are sitting and talking. Santo and Vasco enter, after being announced. Ursula greets them warmly, especially Santo. Santo and Vasco join the ladies in conversation. Sofia comes down to the salon. Santo apologizes for coming without invitation, but they had the time so they came to talk about Vasco and Ines' wedding. Sofia suggests they visit Justo and talk about the wedding with him and the family. She leaves. Santo and Vasco excuse themselves and leave. Ursula is giddy about how handsome Santo is.
* At the house, Sofia walks with Justo, Ofelia, Ines and Santo and Vasco away from the kitchen/dining hall to the yard. Sofia will pay all the costs for the wedding - they all say thank you and try to refuse - Sofia won't let them, she insists. As they go to the garden area, Sofia starts to talk with Ines about how wonderful a seamstress her mom is; then hands Ines a golden box - Ines opens it to show an elegant diamond necklace. Sofia's wedding gift to her. Ines is enchanted and thanks Sofia for it. Justo thanks her also. Ofelia says she's too kind and generous to her family. Sofia says her family is worthy of so much more. Sofia and Ofelia shoot each other looks. Vasco watches Ines put the necklace on.
* In the kitchen, Rita is chopping up vegetables and visiting with Lis and Fran. Rita talks to Lis about Sofia paying for Ines and Vasco's wedding; then they start to talk about Cami and Rico. Rita tries her best to not insult or be rude about her own sister. Lis claims to understand her position, but senses something wrong and presses Rita to talk about it. Lis mentions how Cami married her dad and how unjust her dad was to have Cami inherit his estate; she includes how she's confused with Rico's support to get the estate back. She wonders who will be there that she can count on. Rita can't hold back and starts to talk to Lis about her opinions on Cami becoming an egomaniac; and her suspicions that Santo and Cami have been together but she has no proof of it whatsoever. That ever since Cami returned, her marriage and life have been horrible. Rita tells Lis and Fran that Santo was arrested and in jail for defending Cami and insulting Jorge. He has since been released. Rita blames Santo and Cami for Justo losing his businesses, and hates to think what else bad could happen to Rico if he and Cami stay in town.
* Sofia and Ofelia have a private talk about Jorge, Ursula and Santo as they walk to the carriage. Sofia gets in the coach. Santo asks Ofelia what's the matter. She says nothing, nothing, and leaves. Santo stands there bewildered.
* On the street in town, Lis and Fran discuss what Rita just told them. Fran doesn't think they should believe a word she said. Lis thinks some of what she said may be useful to them, especially if Santo still cares at all for Cami. Lis wants to go to the shop. Fran says he may not be there. Lis says whatever, Rico is a very possessive man. Fran walks Lis to the shop.
* Cami and Jimena read the notice board; they discuss the asking price for the mill is 2,000 pesos. That's a lot of pesos; Cami ponders if she has enough to buy it. Vasco finds them. Vasco and Jimena try to talk Cami out of buying the mill. Cami wants to do it for their father. Vasco says that's not necessary, dad's idea is to buy a farm and some cows. Cami says that's beneath his dignity. Vasco changes the subject and tells Cami that his wedding is set for next Saturday, but that when Justo suggested the party be a dual one to celebrate her and Rico's marriage also, Rita and Santo protested the idea. Cami understands. Vasco asks her to visit Justo. Cami says "no te apuras." As Cami and Jimena start to walk away, Cami sees Uriel enter the administrative building. She freaks out that Uriel is about to get the mill - she has to buy it now! Jimena and Vasco argue with Cami about using her money to buy it. Vasco is scared that Bernie and/or the letter could turn up and spell doom for Cami. Cami snaps back. Vasco explains how Ascanio is out searching for Bernie right now. Cami explains again her plan. Jimena plays devil's advocate and helps Vasco argue against the purchase. Vasco reminds Cami of the danger she faces with Don Jorge. Cami says fine, she'll go to Marcelino for help. Vasco and Jimena run after Cami.
* In the office lobby, Cami, Jimena and Vasco find Marcelino, he's as nervous as ever. Cami asks to speak with Jorge about the mill. Marcelino disappears into the office.
* Marcelino whispers to Jorge, and then waits as Jorge finishes settling the dispute between two men. They leave. Jorge tells Marcelino to let Cami, and only Cami, enter. Marcelino leaves.
* In the lobby, Marcelino tells Cami only she can go inside to see Jorge. Vasco is frustrated and tries again to talk Cami into leaving. Cami is determined, and reminds him that she's married now. She goes into the office. Vasco vents his frustration to Jimena; Jimena scolds him about how angry Ascanio will be when he returns and finds this out. They run out of the building.
* In the office, Jorge congratulates Cami on her marriage. Cami explains very briefly why they did it so quickly. Jorge nods like he understands. Cami asks Jorge about how a woman can buy real estate. Jorge explains that certain items women can purchase, but other items they have no rights at all. She asks about exceptions. He replies. Cami says she wishes to purchase the mill, as Senora Lopez de Carvajal. (AY CARAY!)

Wondering in Arizona
Justo, who is now sick and disabled, seemed content with his future. Doesn't his daughter think he might be even more humiliated by her taking matters into her own hands again and muddying the water?
Oh, well
From lower Ala
Can't remember who mentioned it but Lis' crooked little finger is SO annoying (along with the rest of her). Grita is on a one-way ticket to a pool of bitterness & solitude. Guess she never heard of bad karma. Whoresula...did anyone happen to notice in the show's opening that it looks like she's kissing Foreman??? There's a bit of karmic justice there, if true.
Marcellino had a question mark curl of hair last night...taking styling hints from La BoufFont, apparently.
Ric & Cami...uh oh. So much for marital bliss. Looks like there's going to be anvils coming at them from all directions.
Thanks for the recap!

To quote a line from the movie "Sixteen Candles" re: Pasion: "this is getting good". Mario & Jimena FINALLY kiss (about time in my opinion...Mario what took you long dude?). I think Mario has met his match. And Sofia's "Whatever" look to Jorge while he was apologizing to her: priceless! I have a new name for Alberto: he with the Flock of Seagulls hairdo (think about it).
I have a saying that lies & b.s. have ways of revealing themselves. Looks like it's fixing to happen with some of the main characters.
If she truly hadn't wanted to say anything, she wouldn't have dropped so many hints first!
I'm glad Ric's confession to Cami about pirating didn't go badly. One thing I've loved about this novela so far is that, even though Cami was very reluctant to get together with Ric at first, neither of them has let any idle gossip or stupid stuff get in the way. (At least not yet!)
When you think of how Gaviota and Rodrigo let everyone else jerk them around with stupid schemes, gullibly believing every bad thing they heard about each other even from the most dubious sources, it's really nice to see two people trust one another in a relationship.
But, hey luckily there are lots of other interesting people/things going on on this novela...

And Rita's protestations about not wanting to say anything bad about her sister - that's the "but I couldn't POSSIBLY tell you" before telling all (with her own nasty spin on things).
And those nightcaps!!! I can understand wearing a nightcap, but why do they need VISORS?
Toddson
Fran risked her neck to do it, too, thinking this would be a way to get rid of her. Now if grrRita gets chummy with the Salamanca gals....! Another anvil is poised. This novel does not lack suspense. What a web of subplots.
I guess that qualifies her as the Rodrigo Montalvo of this telenovela.
She has no common sense at all. One might say “oh but she is just trying to save the family business”, what business? As if Jorge is going to make easy for her.
She does not rationalize about the implications if and when she loses the money that everything is going to be lost and she would have to pay more money back and/or go to jail.
There's enough drama going on in this novela as it is.
Rita just has to die. I mean she just gets worse and worse. I don't see her ever redeeming herself. Has she done anything for anyone that didn't benefit her? She only nursed Santi back to health so she could snag him.
Cami, I agree, is behaving stupidly about the mill, and telling Jimena everything. No good can come of this.
And, I'm with Anya....GRita must die!!! So many bad women in this novela...but she is the worst!
And that stupid maid again!!! Just what Cami needed! She should have fired her on the spot!
I forgot about the meddling maid! Cami was going to 'talk' to her- I'll bet she didn't. She's too busy running around mucking things up, like a chicken with the head cut off...

Wasn't the scene in the drawing room odd with Santi and Vasco entering the ladies conversation group. Ursula and Vasco didn't even look at each other, I didn't catch even a scowl let alone an acknowledgement that they KNEW each other so well. I know I missed a bunch of episodes that probably dealt with this but really Ursula is so focused on her new object of desire.
I agree that Camila's emotional impulsiveness is annoying. However, I think you can still be a heroine and have flaws--it makes you more human. She is more of a traditional heroine--passive and emotional--which is not to everyone's taste. However, she is a nice person who really cares about people--sometimes too much.
The loot was stashed in Jorge's house (hence Vasco's keys to the house are important). But we also know that Jorge has given alot of it away to Lafont and the other two guys in his rat pack --let alone what he gave himself. All along Ric has been realistic about it's being gone and is more interested in exposing jorge and company's illegal dealings.Ric knows he wont get his loot back.
Just as I was beginning to like Camila, she goes ahead and acts like a tonta. But it adds to the tension of the story...NJSUE
For my money the only level-headed people around are Ric, Ascanio and Sofia.

I agree with both. The other day I commented that I thought telling Ximena everything could lead to betrayal. Most people disagreed but I still think so even if it's accidental. And they focused deliberately on the golden box with the diamond necklace: I felt right away there must be some significance there, and that it was part of Ric's stolen stash that he would recognize at some future point.
Ditto everyone else. I think Ric has taken the bigger risk with Camila. The hoof prints have hardly blown away in the dust before she finds some crack to fall her a** into. Sheesh!
“He says that destiny brought them together, and G-d willing, they will be together forever. They kiss passionately.” And we hyperventilate.
“Rita can't hold back and starts to talk to Lis about her opinions on Cami becoming an egomaniac; and her suspicions that Santo and Cami have been together but she has no proof of it whatsoever.” Rita needs a good thump. She’s SUCH a loose cannon. I hope her demise is worthy of what a witch she is.
Thanks, again, J. R.!
