MEPS June 26, 2009
Padre Basco asks Solidad for forgiveness (at her grave site).
Fernanda asks Fr/Ed for a favor. Tonight she has a reunion, but doesn't know what it's about. Suddenly Fr/Ed receives a phone call from Padre Basco. Padre tells Fr/Ed things are dangerous. Your enemy is everywhere. Please listen to me. Don't talk about this anymore to anyone. Don't confide in anyone.
Vlad and Pris pull up to his apartment with Flor close behind. Vlad tells Pris not to be upset with him anymore. I promised you that Damian will not bother you anymore. Pris tells him that she doesn't believe him. The more I know you the more I realize you are one of those men whose words don't mean anything. They walk into his apartment building with Flor looking on. Flor is pissed.
Vlad and Pris walk into Vlad's apartment and Pris starts in on Damian. She says that she's a married woman and can't be coming at their beck and call when they feel like it. What game are you trying to play? Vlad tries to explain, but Pris tells him to shut up. You guys are made for each other replies Pris. (viewerville nods in agreement) You guys are a bunch of idiots. Pris, responds Damian, all the Elizandes including your husband have realized that I am innocent. Sit down. I'm glad. So why did you call me here then asks Pris. I am offering you my help responds Damian. How do you plan on helping me asks Pris. Proposing a pact. In exchange for my silence, I want you to watch my back. You insult me replies Pris. Well then everyone will know that the child you expect is not your husbands replies Damian. You are a jerk says Pris and gets up to smack Damian across his face. He gets up pissed and Vlad must have grown a little bit of balls and gets in front of Pris and defends her. Damian says tell me what you want me to tell your family then? That I found you in Vlad's apartment arguing about the paternity of your child? Vlad jumps on this like a ducks on a junebug and agrees that Damian should tell Anibal that he is the real father. He turns to Pris with a crazed look in his eyes and says "Mi Angel, it's best that everyone knows the truth." He kneels on the couch, takes her hand, kisses it, promises her then says no swears to her that I assume my responsibilities. She gets a scared look in her eyes like this guy is nuts.
Barbara brings Aurora coffee. Barbara tries to be all nice and tells her that she just wants to help her. She reminds her that she also went through the same hell she is now going through. She knows of an expert who can help her. They helped her so much. Aurora asks if she means with a witch (bruja). The ones that talk with the spirits? Yes, replies Barbara. Isn't that bad asks Aurora. Seeking help is bad asks Barbara. No, responds Aurora. Barbara tells her she doesn't know what she would have done if it wasn't for that sainted woman. Do you think that woman could help me asks Aurora. It wouldn't be a sin? Aurora it helped me, but if you doubt then there' not point responds Barbara.
Fr/Ed is walking around the living room. Fernanda asks what's wrong. Ever since you received that call your attitude has changed. Tell me what has you worried. Fr/Ed says that to feel confidence in your heart and then to have it poisoned are reasons to disregard that confidence. She asks if he has no confidence in her.
Vlad tells Pris that there will never be anything that her and there child will ever need that will not be met. I promise to give you the best of me. Damian interrupts and tells Pris to give her "lover" an answer. Thank you Vlad, but that's not necessary replies Pris. Just get up. She asks Damian that if he is now found innocent then why does he want her to investigate what's going on in the house? Because I want to make sure that Barbara doesn't have a trick up her sleeve for tonight that why replies Damian.
Barbara is worried about Aurora's relationship with Santiago. Why, asks Aurora. Because if you want to stay by his side you must take away these fears. My situation was the same as yours. I was at the point of losing my husband. He thought I was possessed by a demon. But I did want I had to do to keep his love. I can make an appointment with the person who helped me. Can you do that for me asks Aurora. I will do that for you, but you can't tell anyone. Not even Santiago. Understand?
Pris calls Tomasa and tells her to tell Barbara not to expect her for dinner. She asks Damian when is his meeting with Barbara. Tonight responds Damian. And how do you want me to investigate all this asks Pris. I tell you want to do not how to do it replies Damian. I will be waiting for your call. Pris leaves and forgets her phone.
Fr/Ed says we all run with danger. And the only way to protect ourselves is to confide. There are reasons for all of us to doubt each other. That is why I ask why you have confidence in me? I just do replies Fernanda. That's what I'm saying. You can't have confidence in everyone. You cannot tell anyone what we are doing. I beg you. The danger is so big we cannot risk it. Even the ones we love. She says the one she worries the most about is Lili. Don't you realize the danger is real? Don't tell your father even your brothers. We have to find out who Gregoria Bravo and her son Aremio Bravo are.
Vlad is following Pris outside. He wants to take her. She doesn't want him too. Flor is watching all this. Damian takes the phone to Pris. Flor is muy impactada to see Damian.
Venus comes back from her shopping trip. She calls Martina who tells her how pretty she looks. Venus shows off her purchases to Martina and Lili. They call get presents too.
Santiago asks Fernanda that their father told him that Lili escaped from the mental hospital. Is that true? Yes confirms Fernanda, but I believe that we will find her soon. Is it also true that she was kidnapped asks Santiago. That's what the police think, but we have to wait and see replies Fernanda. She changes the subject and asks Aurora if she found out anymore about who painted the bloody cross in her bathroom. Santiago believes it was Camilo. Aurora doesn't believe it was. Knock on the door and Tomasa says dinner is ready. Fernanda says she is going out with Barbara for dinner. Santiago says to be careful what she eats. It could have poison in it. He laughs.
Pris tells Damian that she doesn't sense anything weird going on in the house and Barbara is calm. Vlad tells Damian not to hang up, but he does anyway. Damian lies and says that Pris said "hi". Damian and Vlad are getting ready to go. Vlad says it's too early, but Damian wants to get there early to make sure there are no surprises for him. Vlad doesn't want to go, but Damian insists he goes. Vlad little balls that he had grown when he defended Pris after she slapped Damian have disappeared and now he's scared that the police are going to get them. Damian says Pris told him all is good and he trusts her. Let's go.
Barbara tells Gonzo she's leaving. There going to the Casa Blanca. He hopes everything goes well.
Flor tells Margarita that she saw Damian. Margarita thinks she can't be sure, she only saw him for a second. I know what I saw replies Flor. I have seen him in the office day in and day out. But you can't tell Fernanda responds Margarita. Why not, asks Flor. Because that is her husband replies Margarita. That is exactly why I should tell her says Flor.
Fernanda says I don't see a restaurant. Barbara tells her change of plans.
Margarita asks Flor what will she gain from telling Fernanda what she saw? For her to open her eyes replies Flor. Jacinto comes in and wonders what's going on. Margarita tells Jacinto that Flor saw Damian today.
Barbara tells Fernanda to get out to the car and walk over to the statue. Fernanda says no. Tell me what we are doing here. Barbara tells her that if she goes over there and after 5 minutes doesn't like what she hears then they will leave. Fernanda again tells her no. She doesn't understand what the whole mystery is about. Barbara doesn't want to ruin the surprise. She hands her the keys and begs her to please go. Fernanda gets out and looks around. She goes back to the car and questions Barbara again. Barbara tells her this is what's best for you. You have nothing to lose. Are you sure asks Fernanda. I'm just hoping you can get back your happiness responds Barbara.
Esteve and Fr/Ed come in with pizza. Venus extends her hand for Fr/Ed to kiss. Esteve remarks on how well she has learned. (if I was Venus I would never wash my hand again) Anyway she asks Fr/Ed if after her job is done can she keep her clothes? Fr/Ed says of course. Venus wants to know when she will know who this guy is that's she supposed to make fall in love with her. Esteve tells her at the party. At least tell me his name replies Venus. Fr/Ed says his name is really not important.
Damian is waiting by the statue and Vlad calls. He wants to know if Barbara is there yet. Damian says he'll call when he knows something. Suddenly Fernanda appears.
Fr/Ed praises Venus on her picking up quickly on her studies. Venus says that Esteve is a wonderful teacher. Esteve says only because your a wonderful student. Venus tells him to stop because he is making her blush. She gets into her hooker attitude, but Esteve clears his throat and she corrects herself back into a more ladylike behavior. She's scared that when the time comes for her to get into her role, she will reverse back into her old self. Fr/Ed says well then I'll tell you his name then. It's Camilo. Esteve tells her all will be well. Venus wants to know if Camilo is old,young and defects. Esteve tells her that he will give her some of the defects. He is vile, a lazy bum, a playboy, and a womanizer. What if he finds out about me asks Venus. Esteve says have confident. I believe that will not happen. Not when he comes face to face with Lovely Norton. And who is that, you asks Venus. That beautiful and sophisticated woman is you. That is your new name. Lovely Norton. My beautiful niece.
Damian didn't know that he was going to be seeing her and vice versa. Barbara is happy and says that is why I didn't want to tell you anything my love. Right says Fernanda and tries to walk away. Barbara grabs her and brings her face to face and joined hands with Damian. She says nothing stands in the way of Damian returning to the hacienda. What says Fernanda. Damian says is that true? Barbara tells Damian that all the charges have been dropped.
Lovely Norton says Venus. So we are now related. Yes, replies Esteve. This gives creditability to our plan. Fr/Ed says that he and Esteve will be watching out for her at all times. And also that Camilo will want to sleep with her, but under no circumstance is she to do that. Esteve also interjects that she cannot fall in love with him. Fr/Ed looks at him funny and agrees.
Barbara says let's go to the house and finish talking about this. Damian thinks it's a good idea, but Fernanda is not in agreement. Fernanda has to many questions that need to be answered first. Damian says I will answer your questions, but not here. This place is to isolated and dangerous. I will not return with you until you answer all my questions and doubts first responds Fernanda. Damian says I want to save my marriage. Give me a chance. Fine responds Fernanda. Let's go to another place. Barbara smiles her evil smile.
Flor tells Jacinto that Fernanda should know what's going on. Margarita thinks that Flor has a reason. Jacinto thinks it'a a bad idea. You don't know what problems you can cause.
Barbara thinks they should go to a hotel for the night to talk out their problems. Damian agrees.
Tomorrow: Fernanda and Damian talk, Jacinto tells Fr/Ed about Damian, Fr/Ed calls Fernanda

I loved the meeting place for Dam and Nanda. St. Michael and the good and evil symbolism was priceless.

The pink pleather coat for Lili was just abominable. At least she was happy with it. And poor Fer, knowing that Babs is evil and then having Babs drive her to the middle of nowhere...I'd have jumped right out of the damn car!
Some of the plot serving devices can be very annoying. It makes no sense to me to have Margarita and Jacinto insisting that Flor not tell Fer what she knows. Her position is the correct one. Fer has every right to know that her miscreant husband has been hiding out with Vladimir. After all, they don't know about the charges being withdrawn.
Silvia again is such a wonderful telenovia. She looks at Damián after she meets him at the statue as if he were a specimen under the microscope. She gets right to the point and says, OK, if we're going to talk - then take me to where you've been hiding all this while!
But, of course, in TN world the baddie always gets their way until the last week, so Babs heads that danger off and Fer will end up in a hotel room with Damn, where no nuptials will be consummated. But, also of course, Freduardo's jealousy is going to be aroused. Sigh.
Venus' makeover is quite good. She looks wonderful without so much makeup.
What can you say about the Abora/Babs scenes. I start to FF>> but then, like watching a skiing accident, I watch it anyway. I suppose the evil maid will be the "bruja". I suppose it's too much to hope for that, in the meeting with the "bruja" she blurts out that her mother is Rebeca Sánchez. Nah. That would slow down the torture.
Lili was adorable in this one. Agree that the coat was awful, but her joy in having it was great to see.

And the sad little torment-Aurora scenes. She's going against her Catholic training by consulting a "bruja" and of course the biggest bruja of all is the one luring her into the relationship.
Loved Vlad sticking up for Priscilla with Damian and loved the way they teased us with not saying Camillo's name for a few scenes. Do you suppose they knew we'd been speculating all this time?
immediately!!!!!!
Fernanda, Fernanda, Fernanda, our beautiful intelligent heroine has been told by her husband that Babs is going to destroy the whole family & Fr/Ed has said that Babs is a danger to them, & she gets out of a car in the middle of the night in a dark deserted area?????? She could have been killed by anyone!!!!
And Lovely???? They couldn't do better that THAT? Mable or Gertrude would have been better.
But so what, FC is so bonito, it makes it all worthwhile. Give the writers beanies.
I wanted to yell at the TV, "Aurora, you're trusting Babs, the woman you saw boinking Damian on his wedding day, over Santiago?!?" No telenovela beanie hat is going to suspend my disbelief on this.
Why do I watch this stuff??? Gaaaaaah......
Dr. O seems to be gone but I am enjoying the comedic relief provided by Flor's facial expressions. I can see how she and Gardenia are related in that sense. GinCA
I have watched this telenovela (my first) from the beginning but I have a few questions and comments
1.Silvia Navarro is a terrific actress. Such an expressive and beautiful face! Have she and FC worked together before?
2. Lucero is genius at evil. I understand she is usually the protagonist/heroine. What other shows do you recommend that she is in?
3. Why is Fernanda so trusting of Barbara? Hasn't she has been told that Barbara killed her Mother!??
4. To whom was Padre Bosco referring in his dire warning to Fr/Ed?
5.It seems to me that the show was moving smartly along until about 3 weeks ago when it began to bog down? Has anyone else noticed this?
6. Is Fernando Colunga married or partnered in real life? Just curious.
Thanks again, re-cappers for your work!
Fernanda is not trusting of Barbara & the only one that knows she killed her Mom is Artemio.
And all FC has to do is come here & be partnered with about any women here.
Google him & you'll get some personal info, but not that much.
Thanks for the welcome and instruction. No spoilers and no gossip about the actor's personal lives. Got it.
Thanks!

Lovely Norton? I almost fell off the couch with that one. And did everyone notice that despite the new sophisticated dress, she still had the leopard-skin bra sticking out all over the place, and those same boots? Venus, you're the best.
Jacinto knows what he's doing, advising Flor not to tell Fernanda. Not that there's any logic to it, but Jacinto realizes that all decisions are made by Fr/Ed, since the last three times Jacinto had an idea, Fr/Ed surprised him by saying just the opposite. And so far, Fr/Ed's instincts have worked out.
Carlos, I also liked Fernanda's sweater.
I'm new too and delighted to have found this site. I am working on my Spanish as well and am so very thankful for the recappers.
Many people, including me, loved Amor Real with FC and Adela Noriega. I can really recommend that novela. It is on You Tube, plus I think you can buy a condensed version online if you'd like.
This is the first time I have seen Sylvia Navarro, but others might have seen her in something else. I agree, she is terrific, plus she is playing a strong, smart woman which, in my opinion is rare in the TNs.

Whatever eevil machinations, I hope Nanda y Eddie don't go through off and on hate-love-distrust like Hot Rod and Gaviota, let them fight the baddies together as in Pasion.

I don't recall seeing in the recaps something that Padre Bosco told Ed/Fr - I think on Thursday: That Martina's dad, the herrero might know who Artemio Bravo's mom was. So, a little clue should be forthcoming from that.
Doesn't it seem that all of Ed's attempts against Camilo have ended up not doing anything or backfiring?? The million dollar horse was somehow supposed to be a weapon agains Camilo - yet didn't seem to influence him. Accepting Erika's ruse to be her new novio was supposed to get Camilo jealous or upset - that didn't seem to phase him. Not reporting they had the car was supposed to put Camilo in a fix trying to explain how he lost daddy's car - but Barb conveniently explained that away by saying she had the car and somebody stole it. Camilo's finding the email suggesting Franco Santorro was in Mexico to find a rich wife - I still haven't figured out exactly how that was supposed to impact anything. In short, it seems that any of the attempts to embarass or punish Camilo seem to have rolled off of him like grease rolling off teflon.

But sth has to happen between Fr/Ed & Camilo. And what is Gonzo doing about a car, or did he forget it's missing?
rsk
PLEASE let the fiesta begin!!!!!
If I had a husband abandon me like Dam did my marriage would have already been dissolved. I sure wouldn't take him back.
Elna Jane, you have to get Alborada. I'm watching it now and it is awesome. Melinama has recaps too which help because it is a little choppy. FC is gorgeous and Lucero is beautiful and sweet (if you can imagine that!)
I sure hope it doesn't turn into "All Abora, All the Time" because then I'll have to FF a lot!
Just a quick thought on Erika and Fr/Ed. I think when she discovers his real identity, she will consider him beneath her. At the same time, Esteve, the rich American might start to look pretty good! That's one reason I love TNs--the possibilities are endless!!
Jane
Kind of a goofy episode, why all the mystery about the Dam/Fer meeting? Why would Fer go along with that, knowing what Babs had done to Montemama?
Nice transformation of Venus to Lovely (WTInfierno? with that name?), but get rid of the leopard bra straps.
That's it Que empiece la fiesta!!
Carlos
Jardinera - welcome back!!! Travelogue, please!!!!
I thought it was hilarious that Steve showed up with pizza. Who hates pizza? Camilo! So you know he must be evil!! (Did I see only one pizza for the whole bunch of them to share? What, is everyone on a diet?)
The name "Lovely" was a horrid choice. And are they planning to give Venus a crash-course in English? Because it's a little odd that her fictitious parents would have given her an English word for a name (a name that no English-speaking person would bestow) but didn't teach her any English.
Oh well. I'm still excited at the prospect that she might beat up Camilo. Let's get on with the party, already!
My question is, did FrEd see the episode or read the recap... because I am still waiting for him to follow up on that. You would think he'd have been at the guy's doorstep in five minutes.
Carlos
In defense of Fern, she didn't agree to get out of the car leaving the asessina with the perfect drive by opportunity to get rid of her. She demanded the car keys.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=carpe%20manana
Are they going to pass her off as Steve's sister? Or is it that she's his creation? Why do I think she's going to fall for Camilo?
La Paloma
I just can't imagine how they came up with that stupid name. Don't they have anyone that's even been to the U.S. writing for them?

Another thing I'd like to share with bloggers,I enjoy reading the blog while listening to Latino pop tunes on Rhapsody. OK, call me wierd!

We are going on a cruise as well this summer!!!
Sandy in TN
I know novelas ask us to suspend reality quite a bit, but Lovely Norton really got me! I mean - "Lovely?!" Are you kidding me? No self-respecting gringo/a would name their kid that. Sometimes I think they are purposefully poking fun at gringolandia with Steve's character - the weird English, the ridiculous clothes, the goofy, awkward singing - and Jesus Christ! Oh well, I guess it's payback for all the insults American movies and television have done to Mexicans for decades...
I'm also perplexed as to how they are going to convincingly put Venus off as an American. Presumably Steve has no familial ties to Mexico - seems unlikely that he would have a niece who speaks perfect Spanish and no English...
