MEPS June 19, 2009
Franco/Ed is pulling down a box for Dr. Obregon. He says what this package contains is worth the 2 million dollars you are going to give me.
Barbara tells Aurora that everything that is happening is very dangerous. Aurora questions how so, but Santiago comes in and interrupts. Barbara tells Santiago how much she enjoys talking to Aurora. And if Aurora wants to talk further don't hesitate to come to her. She leaves and Santiago questions Aurora what they were talking about. He doesn't trust Barbara .
Vlad tells Pris not to be upset with him over the situation with Damian. Pris tells him that he is protecting a guy that stole 3 million dollars from the company. Throw him in the street. Let him rot in prison. Vlad says he cannot because he knows our secret. Pris says there is no secret. This baby is mine and Anibal. Do you understand? You know that's not true replies Vlad. All I know is that I am married with Anibal and that I have a child from you. That's all replies Pris. Vlad wishes he never told Damian. He promises to fix the problem and protect her from Damian.
Damian is playing solitaire and putting a crap load of ketchup on his food. He receives an email from Barbara asking him to name a time and place to meet.
Vlad tells Pris that he is completely on her side and promises to persuade Damian to give up on his plans. What plans asks Pris. You know the plans replies Vlad. I will not let him bother you. Are you going to let me help you? Pris asks again what is his plans. He wants to tell Anibal about them and do whatever it takes to get his position back with the family. That's why we need to be united together.
Dr. Obregon opens the package and asks Franco/Ed to give him a tape recorder from his dresser. He hands Franco/Ed the tape to play.
Fernanda tells Gonzalo that she doesn't accept that Flor gave away company secrets. She thinks someone else with no scruples did it. Gonzalo says the only person with access to that information was Flor. Fernanda asks him why are the poor always the one found guilty?
Vlad tells Pris at first he didn't realize Damian's game. But now he knows that he is manipulating everything for his purpose. That's why I need you to tell me if I can believe in him or not. (what, can you not figure that out on your own?) Damian says that you are going to disappear from my life and I will never be able to know my child. Is that true? Are you going to leave me alone? Pris tells Vlad that it's very rare for a guy to behave the way he does. (meaning wanting to know his child) Well my name is Vladimir Pineros and I am a man who wants to know his child. Tell me if what Damian tells me is true. Are you going to disappear from my life and never let me know my child? Pris tells Vlad that she will not do that. He leans in for a kiss. Flor spots them and hides to look further. Pris gets out of the car and Vlad touches her belly and tells the baby bye and to take care of his mother. Flor is muy impactada.
Fernanda keeps defending Flor. You have no proof of her treachery. Gonzalo says Anibal fired her and I cannot override that in front of everyone. Oh so we are not going to do anything so that we do not embarrass my brother replies Fernanda. Well I also have a say in this company and since Franco/Ed wants to get started right away on the center, I will need an assistant. Are you thinking of Flor asks Gonzalo. Yes replies Fernanda. Will that be a problem?
Franco/Ed asks about the tape. (did I miss something? did he already hear it?) Dr. Obregon that he has had it for 15 years. Figured he might need it someday. Franco/Ed asks who else knows about this tape? Dr. Obregon replies just you. Franco/Ed calls him a name. Dr. Obregon tries to defend himself. He tells Franco/Ed to bring him the money and he will give him the tape.
Martina gets dropped off by cute Dr. Carlos and she asks him if he can visit her dad from time to time to check on him. Dr. Carlos says of course. Gardenia catches Dr. Carlos kissing Martina's hand and shakes her head. Dr. Carlos leaves and Gardenia tells Martina that this is a decent house and she cannot bring strange men over. Martina says whatever.
Esteve is teaching Venus how to walk, talk and act like a lady. He's pretending to be a waiter. She sits down in a chair unlady like and he tells her how to do it correctly. Looks like it's going to take a miracle to teach this chick to act like a lady. They go over drinks, cheese and walking.
Vlad comes home and doesn't kiss the wife I mean Damian hi. Damian asks Vlad if he talked to Pris. Vlad says no. Damian wants to know if Pris planted the documents. I don't know, why asks Vlad. Because something has happened. He grabs Vlad to show him the email that Barbara sent him.
Barbara tells the maid not to let anyone see her. Guess they are planning something else.
Vlad reads the email. Damian says that Barbara is a viper. First she takes me out of the picture and now wants to hand me my freedom. Vlad asks if he is going to see Barbara. That would be foolish replies Damian. Then why is she looking for you replies Vlad. I told you already. Something must be happening at Grupo Lactos. I am sure that Barbara has problems. Are you sure Vlad that you have not heard anything? Again Vlad says no. Damian tells him that he has to find out what's going on. Vlad asks Damian what he plans to do. I have no idea replies Damian. That is why I need you to find out what's going on. Vlad thinks that they know Barbara stole the 3 million dollars and that Damian is innocent. (he has a crazy look in his eye don't you think? he's losing his marbles) Vlad says that he overheard a conversation between Gonzalo and Anibal. That Damian was innocent and how they felt bad filing a report with the police.
Fernanda meets Franco/Ed at a restaurant. He tells her that everything is ready to take Lili out of the nuthouse. Fernanda can't believe how quickly it's been handled. He wants her to listen to a tape that will clear up alot of her questions. The tape has the voices of Dr. Obregon and Lili. Lili recounts everything that happened the day her mother died. (see episode/recap #3 for exact details) Fernanda starts crying. She asks him where he found the tape.
Damian asks Vlad were exactly does he wants to meet Barbara? Vlad tells him to be careful. Damian wants it to be a place where they can meet in private. Somewhere familiar. Vlad fixes himself a drink and tells Damian somewhere where she feels uncomfortable. Don't you think? Why asks Damian. So you can have total control responds Vlad. I have it replies Damian as he takes Vlad's drink from him.
Franco/Ed wants Fernanda to think if she wants to hear the rest of the tape. Because once she does, there is no going back.
Esteve wants to show Venus how to dance the waltz. They look really cute together. I like this Esteve character. He does gringo pretty well. Anyway Gardenia is pissed and can't wait til Franco/Ed comes home to tell him everything that has been going on. She hears music and goes to investigate. Esteve and Venus are dancing salsa. Gardenia thinks that they are doing bad things. Guess having fun is not allowed.
Franco/Ed asks again if she wants to hear the rest of the tape. Everything will change from this moment on. She does and he plays it for her. Fernanda hears Lili say that Barbara killed their mother.
Monday: Fernanda wants to tell that Barbara killed her mother.
Labels: manana
Can you tell that I get punchy at 1 AM?
Things are definitely heating up! Vlad is starting to lie to Damián(Yay!). Fernanda knows the truth, at last, about Lili and her mother's death. But I don't know how she's going to convince the uxorious Gonzo of the 3 watt brain.
Gardenia is going to stroke out having hissy fits while the other two gals are having a marvelous time at Las Animas!
Gardenia better get a love life before she really goes bonkers. She's jealous of every little thing.
A decent house, all Dr Rey did was drop Martina off.
Very surprised that Fernanda found out the truth about Lili & at only episode 89.
What a hoot when he shoved back his computer chair right into Vlad's chest, completely unawares. And the manipulation game is shifting, Vlad is learning to manage him with lies right back. Delicious to watch.
Hey Carlos...did you catch the "Dr. Carlos" references in the recap? You're in our telenovela, hombre. And you've already made your moves on the scrumptious Martina. Way to go.
Those police investigators are top-notch guys. They haven't bothered to check out Damian's friends. They haven't even called Blad. That typo seems to fit Vlad, who is becoming bladder and bladder. At least it looks like poor Flor will have a job.
Who put Gardenia in charge?! She needs a life of her own to run.
So far, I'm liking Esteve more and more. He's the real leader in many ways. His smarts and stability have kept this train on the tracks. Esteve has a fun, good humored, low maintenance personality and he can dance. Lot's of extra points for dancing...

Gloria, thank you for the recap. Kind of a fun episode, and something really happened.
Loved the scene with Vlad and Damian, these guys are cracking me up. Dam backs the chair into Vlad's solar plexus, and Dam pats him on the shoulder; Vlad mixes himself a drink, and Dam takes it from him, declring that he's in control. Vlad is changing into a more assertive character with a plan of his own, it seems, and also into Vlad the traitor, as far as Damian is concerned. Is Pris looking at Vlad differently, for real?
Hard to believe that Fer now knows Lili's unbelieved story, so early in the main story. To know that her sister has been so wrongly accused, and unjustly locked up in hell for 15 years, what a horror! Not sure what the avances showed, but the ones on Youtube, she was ready to kill Babs. Wonder if she will be able to keep this to herself, or will she have to tell Santi?
The avances also showed Lili being sprung form the looney bin, I doubt that she is truly going to have the peace and recovery that she so needs and deserves.
Also loved the scene with Venus' tutorial. Despite what she said, I'd say she's a quick learner, maybe it's that Esteve is such a good teacher. Regardless, Gardenia is so over-righteously furious with completely innocent and positive happening around the hacienda, she needs a male distraction of her own. She's bored, jealous, horny and frustrated, a very dangerous combination. Is she going to the party as a guest, a servant, or at all? It's going to be very interesting...
I;m starting to like Gardenia less and less. She's not a bad person necessarily but she is turnng into a shrew.
Did anyone else see the ketchup on Dam's shirt? It was driving me crazy and he never ate the hotdogs. Hot dogs are gross any so I can't blame him for not eating it.:)
So now that Nanda knows what is she going to do about it.
TG for some fun with Eliza & Henry.
They are the only fun people in the novela.
I do think Pris & Vladi will have another fling, he won't stop hounding her, he cares about her & the baby & Anibal doesn't seem to give a damn. Still think Anibal is going to come around though.
I thought the ketchup thing was so funny. Hope Vlad buys one, gets one free. Damian is hyper & in his own world. Poor Fernanda, she needs an annulment, I don't think Damian is husband material.
How much of Lili's money had Fr/Ed spent? 2.000.100,00 plus the party I think.
The only brother Fernanda should confide in is Santiago. Anibal will suck up to whoever has the most power on their side and Camilo is in cahoots with Barbara.
I do wish that Nanda would get rid of the wedding ring if for no other reason than it is ugly.
From the advances, Monday's family dinner should be interesting!
Denia, get a life or a boyfriend or something. She is getting muy maldita.
Finally, it seems that Lil is going to be saved. I wonder what Dr. O will do with all of those pesos.
rsk
Despite Fern learning the tragic news that Barb murdered her mom, it was a fairly amusing episode. And. I like the way Fern cries so naturally. Her eyes swell with what look like real tears not that sticky stuff down the face.
Yes, Dr. O's expressions of glee at the mention of money are priceless. And I enjoyed Flor's reaction of disbelief and then anger when she knew she had been had by Vlad and he really wasn't interested in her huesitos. And of course, Gardenia's fuming looks of unrighteous indignation were funny and irritating as well. Please, writers, find her a man, pronto.
No cell phone scene yet but Damian is proving to be quite destructive to poor Vlad and anything else remotely around him. He is so arrogant and self centered, there has to be a pie truck waiting for him, at least a small one. GinCA
Paula H: If Spider Solitaire requires any type of patience, my guess is that it's just a propr for HDDHD Damian. Hope I got the initials correct.
Fer conspires with Gonzo to hire Flor in a new job, which will be contrary to her beloved big brother Anibal's decision. Gonzo seemed delighted at Fer's inventiveness. Maybe he'll change his will again and leave her a larger portion.
Then Abora shows us once again that she's a quart or so low in the brain department by falling hook, line and sinker for Barb's blather. I mean, why trust the one guy who's been loving and honest when you can believe a devious murderess.
From lower Ala where the temp in my car registered at 108 degrees when I left Walmart. Please, Seattle, send us some rain.
How could Fernanda NOT want to listen to the rest of the tape to find out who killed her mother??? I was almost yelling at my TV. (FELS flashbacks: open the box!!!)
I love the Steve/Venus scenes, very fun.
Gardenia needs to release all that tension. Dang!
I really like that this story keeps moving forward and hasn't really had any super repetative episodes. I hope it stays that way.
It will be interesting to see if Florecita tells Fer muy pronto about seeing Vlad and Pris together, including his patting her (non-existent) pregnant belly.
Pasofino: We don't have any rain in Seattle. It rained for like two minutes yesterday and Thursday, and has otherwise been completely dry for more than a month. I could send you some nice cool air, though.
I get the feeling that Steve and Venus are going to fall for each other. They seemed to be having such a good time together.
Flot seems too timid to tell Fernanda that she saw her sister-in-law with another man.
Aurora has the worst judgment. Going riding, on one horse no less,
with skeevy Camilo, and then protecting Barbara after seeing her in flagrant whatever with Damian. Sorry, but I just want to reach into the screen and slap some sense into her.

Not sure how to add this up
1.5 Mil US to Babs & the
$10 Mil US to GL
$ 100,000 pesos to Gracelia
$ 2,000,000 pesos to Dr. O
I guess Dr O & Gracelia are getting a pittance
Mex is usually about6 10% of US, Don't know what it is now.
I'm happy that Fer is going to hire Flor. And this switch with Vlad is another fun turn. I would have never thought he would start to grow a spine and lie to Damien. Their comedy act just got more enticing.
I hope that Lil is freed and gets treatment. We know something probably will happen regarding her rehabilitation b/c it would make such great drama to have her confront Barbara in her right mind in front of the family with proof and Fr/Ed.
While I don't want harm to befall her, Gardenia is making me wish someone would kidnap her again and leave her at a convent.
G in CA - I remember in a recap that it was mentioned that Jacinto/Margarita told Fr/Ed about Damien and Barbara.
NJ Sue
There seems to be two Esteve/Venus theories, one featuring FrEd as the intended a d the other Camillo. I'm hoping for Esteve, I want to hear him sing in his signature way "I've grow accustomed to her face, she almost makes the day begin ...".

Thanks Gloria for your excellent and witty recap!
I think Vlad has been listening to me as I watch him and think, grow a spine, Vladi, throw Damian OUT, but even so, their scenes together are priceless and Sendel's rage is his forte'.

Ann-NYC
June has been the 6th wettest month on record for NYC. Please send us your dry weather...!!!
Ann-NYC
Naaaahhhh...let him find out for himself.
Ann-NYC - DH has been watching the U.S. Open in Bethpage, with all the rain delays, flooding greens, etc. Ugh. We had 9 inches at our house in May alone. Lo siento mucho!
Sandy in TN
I was wondering if it would happen, looks like it is starting to happen now. Damian is starting to have a Vladi control problem.
Esteve may have trouble teaching Venus some things, but apparently she can dance.
Besides talking too much, Denia has quite a holier than thou attitude as well. :)
If Dr. O only knew, he probably could have gotten a lot more than he did from Ed than he did. :)
JeffMN
Now that Damian knows what a double crosser La Hiena is, I wonder what he has planned. He must know that her email to him must be some kind of trap. He knows way too much about her which could be bad for his health.
Can't wait for the party.
~Caborita
Why he offered dollars to the Palafoxes but pesos to Dr. O, I'm not sure.
rsk
I have the feeling she's going to mess up the Venus Mata Hari plan somehow because she's so jealous and impulsive.
~Caborita
I'd open the game to check, but then I'd have to play it for three hours.
~Caborita
life to thwart the advances of Fr/Ed.
She always has an angle. But now how do they explain the 3 mil.
Gardenia told Jacinto & Margarita about Babs & Damian, who told Fr/Ed.
Aurora never opened her stupid mouth about seeing them.
Lucio knows but I don't remember
how, but who else, Gardenia.
variopinta
The ketchup soaked hot dogs had me smiling. Agree with everyone who loves Dam and Vlad. I look forward to seeing their scenes together as much as Franco and Fernanda
jb - "Blad" and "bladder and Bladder" were hysterical.
Jeff - "vladi control problem" was priceless.
Karen, I also hope Lili is the one who will ultimately expose and confront Barbara. Now may her recovery be quick and complete as others have stated...
Love Esteve and Venus. Dancing with the Stars anyone? They are in synch, graceful and look great together. Opposites attract and I'm rooting for them as a couple.
Diana in MA
Esteve giving lady lessons to Venus was completely hilarious! We need more, please.
Tried to post on Friday, but got the dreaded "Blogger out of service" message. Thanks to Kat fot that recap. I bow to you for "Vlad the Impregnator." Je je!
Still pondering over Barb's dark coatdress and other power outfits. She must have to wear heavy clothing because her icy heart spreads cold to her entire body.
