Tuesday, 3/4/08 (pero mas tarde): Yo Amo Juan -- And Who Does He Love?

Monica receives a call from her "secret" lover at the office...

Paula is so, so sad about the state of affairs now that she's pregnant.

Nidia tells the professor to take a hike as Yadi and Delirio look confused,

Gustavo arrives at the office to take Monica to lunch.

Nidia will explain what she said to the prof, but in "private"..

Ana tells Paula to cheer up for her sake and for the kid.

Paula whines that the baby is her only source of happiness now,

Nidia accuses Yadi of running around with the professor -- what type of example is she setting for her baby?!?

Kike is doubtful about Juan's plans for the concourso.

Yadi confronts her mom -- it's not true, and what kind of example did Nidia set for her???

Yvonne gloats to Cesar Luis that his ex just left the office with a new man.

The beauty contestants are shocked at the schedule Juan has planned for them,

Yadi storms out and Nidia has some moments of drama and lunges for her hidden flask,

Fern and Marely are having lunch and he tells her he wants to meet with her family for something important.

Nidia sees a flash of smoke and the image of Delirio in the mirror yelling at her,

CL makes some casual phone inquiries to Monica's whereabouts.

Nidia has a flashback -- the horror! -- she sees herself in bed with FERN!!

Marely asks Fern if he could be talking about marriage, that's a very serious step.

Juan is noticing that Lorena is an attractive woman...

Fern whines to Marely that she must be stalling because Juan and Paula are through -- she denies it.

Three of the beauty contestants approach Juan about backing out of the trip: to return home, to go back to class, and to make a certain genre of film,

Yadi runs into Farrell and tells Marely what she blurted out to Nidia -- oops!

Marely asks her sister where the baby is... Mom has her?

Nidia Estella has packed up her granddaughter Nidia Michaela and headed over to Angarita's.

Juanito wants to go back to town with his teacher and Juan realizes that would leave just him and Lorenita...

Angarita asks Nidia if she has kept her promise and dealt with that little problem of the Davila's money that isn't hers, if not she needs to leave him, for good!

Nidia wanders the afternoon streets despondent with the baby drapped over her arm,

Juan and Lorena are having a philosophical conversation about being in love with someone versus in love with love...

Nidia arrives at her good friend Ana's home, asks her to look after the baby, asks for the booze, and despairs at the horror of her life, how people have treated her.

Lorenita states for the record that Juan must be a free man and leans in for a kiss...

Hey Susana...love your style. Crisp,clean and to the point. I thought the actress who plays Nidia did a good job on the dramatic (or melodramatic, depending on your taste) scenes in the show. Hadn't really noticed anything before but her deft handling of comedy, but she did the heavy hitting as well.
Also loved it that little Juanito called a halt to Juan-Lorena smooching and let his dad know he preferred Marely. Don't we all!!!
Thanks again for staying up to the wee small hours (hope you live on the west coast like Sylvia and Maricruz) to do the recap. Muchas gracias.
 

Wow, I so admire how you are able to compress the hullabaloo that is Juan Querendón into a succinct and concentrated recap, like a dark and fruity Zinfandel. It reminds me of our dear ex-Duelo recapper Carmel. (Carmel I miss you, where are you?)

OK, so I was a little concerned at Nidia's "lunging" (great word) for the booze. She has developed too much of a dependence on the stuff, and then to haul the baby around after and during drinking...yikes!

ExportRed wasn't the only one getting tired of Juan's road trips. The loveliest of the Achi Lovelies, plus Juanito, were apparently growing weary as well since they are disbanding and gowing home. Well, except for the one who is off to be a Porno queen.

I think the guy yelling at Nidia from the mirror was Angarita. He seems to have taken the role of Nidia's conscience.

Thanks Susana! That was a fun and wonderful recap.
 

I was going to say this was a Cliff Notes recap but that does not convey the high quality of your astute points. Sylvia's got a much better term a Zinfandel of a recap, dark and fruity and concentrated. Ha! I like that much better. Thanks for your efforts, Susana.

Nidia certainly did the heavy lifting of this episode, in my opinion, she is a great actress with so much verve. It doesn't look good for our Yadira-Enrique thread of the story. I would like to see this butterfly adorned chica do something of substance, but I always want to see women acting smart even if they are mostly giving us sexy poses. The writers could help out here with some epiphanies happening under that cloud of butterflies...
 

It's interesting, as flighty as Yadira seems, she usually is the one with the best and most grounded advice when she gives it to others. However recently she's making some of the most common mistakes...falling for an obvious womanizer, letting simple compliments go to her head, getting super-defensive with Nidia and others. I hope she doesn't blow her relationship with Kike by getting it on with Nacho.

I agree, Nidia really carried the episode. She's doing a good job playing a soul in torment trying to hide her feelings.
 

Good recap, sweet and short. Keep up the good job
 

Thanks Susanah! Really appreciate you staying up to work on this! I need to work on condensing as succinctly as you do, it really worked!

“to return home, to go back to class, and to make a certain genre of film” LOL! A statement worthy of a schoolmarm. Nice and subtle.

It’s entirely possible she would have just laughed in Delirio’s face if he had scolded her from the mirror. As we all would. Sylvia, you're right, Anga seems to have become her conscience. I think he's the only person in the world who can bring out the best in Nidia. I bet he could curb that drinking really fast.
