ENDA, August 26, 2009

We start off with Emiliano telling Rafael, his dad, that he broke up with Romina because he is in love with Paloma. Then tells Rafael that he totally understands that if he is no longer in love with Diana, his mom, then divorce is the way to go.

Paloma is in her room looking at Inaki's ring and reminiscing about Emiliano's words of love. Rufi comes in with the phone saying Aron wants to talk to her. Paloma tells her that she does not want to talk to anyone or see anyone. Rufi leaves with Paloma staring at her ring again.

Emiliano comes home and Diana lights into him for breaking up with Romina. He tells her to mind her own business. Diana yells at him for saying that. She is his mother and the only one that knows what's best for him. He will never find another girl as good as Romina. Perhaps replies Emiliano, but without love there is nothing. He reminds her again to butt out of his life and changes the subject to her problems. She cries on his shoulder.

Paloma calls Carmen, Inaki's mother, and asks how she is doing. She asks Carmen for her address to send her the ring back that Inaki gave her. Carmen doesn't want it, it belongs to her now.

Carlota calls Paloma down for breakfast. Carlota and Macarena talk about the old priest and the new one coming in. Carlota asks Paloma as she comes in what took so long for her to come down. She says that she called Carmen wanting to return the ring, but Carmen doesn't want it back. Carlota tells her to stay with it and that it can make a nice collection of failed relationships like bracelets, necklaces and pearls. Right Macarena? (she's referring to the pearl necklace that Macarena's mystery man gave her. Cristobal?) Macarena gets annoyed. Carlota tells Paloma that a man once gave Macarena a pearl necklace and then never saw him again. Paloma asks if it's true. Macarena confirms it and walks out of the room. Carlota tells Paloma that she gets in a bad mood when the man is mentioned and that's why they do not talk about it. She tells Paloma to hurry up so that they can go to mass. Rufi the whole time is standing beside Carlota looking pissed off.

Emiliano is playing soccer with Chava, Metche's grandson. Cristobal kicks the ball back as it gets away from them. Chava says that he made them lose. Cristobal says sorry son, not my intention. They talk about soccer and introduce themselves. Chava asks him to play, but Cristobal says that he has to go to mass since it's Sunday. But another day he says.

Diana and Romina are having lunch. Diana wonders if Emiliano told her about her and Rafael breaking up. Romina says that it all happened after she and Emiliano broke up. Romina feels bad for her and asks are you sure that he is leaving you for another woman? Diana is sure of it and will get to the bottom of it. Romina says I would do the same in your shoes although she knows who the other woman is. She heard Emiliano telling German. And it's Paloma. Diana is muy impactada. She can't believe that Emiliano would fall in love with such an insignificant girl and her own friend. Diana tells Romina that it's all Paloma's fault. She abused there friendship to get closer to Emiliano, because otherwise he would never have looked at another. Romina believes that Paloma did all this on purpose. Diana says not to worry that Emiliano will return to her. And if he doesn't ask Romina. I have to find a way to get him back. Diana promises to help her and Romina will keep her ears open to find out who the other woman in Rafael's life is.

Paloma is at church and asks Macarena if the mystery man left her. Macarena says that he didn't and that she will tell her soon about what happened.

Orlando and Rafael find themselves at the grocery store. Orlando asks how the factory is going. Rafael says hopefully in a couple of months all will be good. Orlando praises Emiliano intelligence and hard work. Rafael smiles like the proud papa he is and is in agreement with Orlando. Orlando says that if his son is alive he hopes that he would be just like Emiliano.

Inez and Carlota are talking after church about Padre Juan (Cristobal). Aron shows up looking for Paloma. Carlota asks Aron if he ever comes to church. No he replies. He believes, but is not a practicing christian. Carlota is disgusted. Inez tells her that she has tried. Carlota says that it's not right. A person must dedicate themselves to a religion whatever they choose. Otherwise under what moral obligation do you abide by? Aron says that he respects other people's views as he also asks that they respect his. Paloma comes up then and Aron invites her for a stroll. Paloma says yes and tells Carlota that she will be accompanying Aron. Carlota gets pissed and says don't tell me ask me. Paloma asks Carlota who then gives her permission.

An alter boy comes in and tells Padre Basco? that the Senora Espinoza de los Monteros wants to confess. Padre Basco asks Cristobal if he wants to do it.

Camila wants to know why Romina missed lunch with her. Romina tells her that she came across Diana on her way to meet her. And she found out that she and Rafael are getting divorced. Camila is impactada and asks if she is sure. Romina says she told me and also that he is leaving her for another woman. Diana also overheard Emiliano telling a buddy that he was leaving Romina for another. And that woman is Paloma.

Liliana finds Emiliano walking in the street. She says that she will join him, but when he hestitates she says "Oh, right. You don't want Romina to find out". Emiliano tells her that they broke up and she tells him that she's glad. He deserves better.

Aron and Paloma are walking and she tells him that she has been thinking of what he said to her regarding the ring. She called Carmen to send back the ring since it was a family heirloom, but Carmen wants her to keep it. She doesn't know what to do.

Macarena goes into the confession booth with Padre Basco. She tells him that Rodolfo, the good doctor, wants to marry her. But she doesn't know if it's right to marry someone she doesn't love just for security. Cristobal goes up to the confession booth, but finds Padre Basco and leaves.

Camila thinks that Diana heard wrong regarding Emiliano's conversation with his friend. She has known Paloma since she was a little girl and knows she would not abuse her friendship with Romina to get with Emiliano. Romina didn't think at first that it could be true, but thought about it and realized that it could happen. She tells Camila that Paloma was all over Emiliano when her aunt Macarena was sick and also when Inaki died. Camila still doesn't believe it, but Romina says that Paloma definately wants to take Emiliano away from her.

Aron and Paloma are talking about Inaki and there plans for the future. Aron tells her to sell the ring for money to go to a university. Paloma thinks that it's a good idea and thinks that Inaki would have wanted that. She says he's a genius and hugs him. Emiliano witnesses this and is about to run to her, but changes his mind and walks away. Paloma sees him and pulls away from Aron. He asks her what's wrong and she said that she saw someone that wants to be with her. That's why she hugged him. Aron says to give him the wrong impression? Yes, replies Paloma. Who is it asks Aron. Emiliano replies Paloma.

Emiliano is walking down the road and gets mad and throws a fit of anger at seeing Paloma hugging Aron.

Two detectives come to ask Carlota about Acadia. They found her dead. They ask if they can talk to Paloma. Carlota says what would she know about an employee? They understand, but are conducting a criminal investigation. Rufi says what a crime. Are you saying it wasn't an accident? Carlota gives her the stink eye. The policeman thinks it was a hit and run. Carlota tells them that she doesn't know anything about Acadia. The policeman tells Carlota that Onelia, Acadia's niece, told them that she has a contract with her. Carlota asks if they suspect it's her? Of course not replies the other policeman. Carlota says that I talked to her a couple of times regarding the family that my niece was going to marry into and that was it. Anything else? No the policeman replies and they leaves. Rufi says out loud why would someone want to kill Acadia. Carlota again gives her the stink eye.

Paloma tells Aron that Emiliano confessed his love for her, but it's not right considering Romina is her best friend. Aron asks her how she feels about Emiliano. She tells him that Emiliano is not for her. Aron says your not answering my question. Paloma says that she feels nothing for Emiliano. Aron says that she doesn't look convinced. Paloma says it's the truth. Aron tells her that he thinks she has feelings for Emiliano that she does not want to confront. Paloma asks Aron for forgiveness. She should have asked him before hugging him the way that she did. Aron tells her to use him like that again if she has too.

Padre Juan (Cristobal) finds Emiliano in the street and asks him what's wrong. Do you want to talk? Emiliano replies that he does. He asks Cristobal what to do when you are in love with a woman, but she tells you that you are forbidden? What do you mean replies Cristobal. Are you married? Is she? No responds Emiliano. I once dated her best friend. Does she care for you asks Cristobal. She tells me no replies Emiliano, but I feel inside that she does. Cristobal tells him that perhaps he is seeing things that are not there. The only thing I can tell you is to ask god to give you clarity. Love is complicated. Emiliano says at least you don't have problems like this. Cristobal laughs and said I once did. Remember I was a regular man before becoming a priest. And I'll tell you this. I once was so in love with a woman, but in the end it was really painful.

Rufi tells Macarena that the police came by asking questions about Acadia. Her dealth was not an accident. Macarena doesn't want Paloma to know anything about what happened to Acadia.

Carlota is freaking out about killing Acadia. She did the right thing and no one will ever find out.

Aron tells Paloma that he will go see a jeweler about the ring. Paloma takes it off and gives it to him. You don't think Carmen will mind, do you asks Paloma. Aron tells her that Carmen told her to do whatever she wanted with the ring.

Rufi asks Macarena if she will tell Paloma about her past love. Macarena says it's time that part of the secret is revealed. Paloma comes in and Macarena asks her about her ring. Paloma says she gave it to Aron to sell to pay for her tuition at the university. Carlota is outside the kitchen listening to this.

Rafael tells Diana that he will keep giving her money for her expenses. Diana says it's the least you can do. Rafael tells her that I told you that you will want for nothing. Diana says that she will miss him. He ignores her and gives her a card with another number to reach him in case she cannot get a hold of him at the factory. Diana tells him that if she finds out that he is with another woman, she will create a huge scandel and he will lose everything. Rafael tells her that there is not another woman. Rafael tells Emiliano, who just walked in, that he was giving Diana money. And that they can always count on him even though he doesn't live with them anymore. Diana cries on Emiliano's shoulder.

Camila wants to take Romina out for a movie. Romina just wants to stay home and watch a movie. She doesn't understand why Paloma would do this to her. She has always been a good friend to her and has always defended her. Camila tells her to clarify things with Paloma and not assume things. Romina doesn't want Camila to tell anyone about this including Macarena who would defend Paloma. Camila assures her that she won't. How about a long vacation asks Camila. Not right now replies Romina. I can't leave Paloma alone with Emiliano and I might get news about my dad.

Paloma is in her room and opens up her little box that has a picture of her and Inaki in it. A knock on the door and Macarena comes in. She wants to give Paloma her pearl necklace. It's time to give it away like you did your ring. I have held onto this necklace for 20 years. Macarena says college is expensive even with a scholarship. You have to pay for books among other things. Paloma asks her if she's sure. Macarena tells her that you have been an example. I no longer want to cry. Paloma thanks her for the necklace and hope she has good memories of the mystery man. Macarena tells her that one day she will tell her about him.

Macarena tells Paloma that she will ask Camila about selling the necklace. She would know more about it then she would. Carlota comes in after hearing this (since no one knows how to close the stupid door) and says what are you talking about. Macarena tells her that she is selling the necklace to help pay for part of Paloma's university education. Carlota is like whatever. When you done come see me in my office she tells Macarena.

Angelica is working and Aron interrupts her. He wants to know if Paloma feels anything for Emiliano. Angelica says that she can't really answer that since she is a pychologist. Aron says I understand. You know how I feel about her. Do you think I have a future with her? Angelica tells him that right now Paloma is confused, but having someone like him at her side will do her good. I don't know if she will return your feelings, but I know she's worth it.

Carlota tells Macarena that she will be leaving town for a couple of days for a doctor check-up. Macarena says I didn't know that you were sick. Carlota says it's just a preventative check-up. Why don't you get checked up here asks Macarena. I don't trust your doctor anymore replies Carlota. When I'm gone, I expect things to run the same.

Paloma is in her room thinking about Macarena giving her the necklace to sell and also Macarena giving it to her to wear on her wedding day. She remembers Emiliano assisting her out of the car and Inaki dying in her arms. She says out loud that her life would be different if you had lived (referring to Inaki) She recalls Emiliano telling her that he loves her. She cries out that she does not want to think about him.

Emiliano thinks about Paloma. He recalls seeing her hugging Aron, gets mad and punches the armour. He knows that she feels something for him.

Romina gives Paloma the stink eye as she comes into the classroom. Paloma tries to talk to her, but Romina doesn't act very nice to her. Then ignores her.

Orlando tells Emiliano that he saw his father at the grocery store. Emiliano says he needed to buy things now that he is living alone. He says that his parents are divorcing. Orlando asks him how he feels about that. Sad replies Emiliano. Since I was a kid I knew that they did not get along. Now his plans have changed. He wanted to move out and live alone, but now he can't just leave his mom alone. She is not doing to good. I had plans to leave Real del Monte. Orlando says and I have plans for you to stay. He asks Emiliano if he wants to be his associate. I'm guessing business partner. Emiliano says what? Why? Orlando says I don't know, but together we are good.

Angelica and Paloma talk about Emiliano. She tells Angelica that she pleaded with him to return to Romin and he got mad. And now Romina is acting funny with me. She wants Angelica to help her get a scholarship to move far away. I don't want problems with Romina or Emiliano. Angelica agrees.

Tomorrow: Paloma defends Romina; Camila tells Macarena about Romina's comment about Paloma and Emiliano; Diana asks Camila for help; Emiliano calls Paloma and asks if because of Aron she cannot accept him

Thanks for a really clear recap, Gloria.

Can someone tell me why Angelica is working on her computer in Ines's house. How is she related to Ines and Aron?

If Father Juan is Macarena's lost love (which I think he is, and probably Paloma is their child,) can they by telenovela rules get together in the end? Can a priest ever give up his calling to marry the woman he loves in a telenovela?

Thanks for the recap Gloria.

Great question NJSue. I have no idea about the answer.
 

Can someone tag this for me please? Thanks. I don't know why Angelica was working at Ines house. I was wondering the same thing last night.
 

I think we must have all missed some episode that connects Inez and Angelica. It doesn't seem that they are related. I'm just going to assume that Angelica is renting a room in Inez's home. Not unusual in more traditional societies for a young woman who is all alone, new in town with no family ties, to room with a respectable family, especially one with only a woman running the household (no chance of a romance with the man of the family), instead of living on her own.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Macarena and Cristobal finally meet. Well, it's going to be explosive when they find out they were both deceived, but additionally I think it will be a great struggle for Cris. He was very much in love with Mac, but really feels that it is his calling to be a priest. I doubt that he will end up marrying her. This is Novelaland, not Miami, and those vows are considered quite sacred. Could happen, but it's highly unlikely.

Paloma and Macarena should throw a huge party while Carlota is away...or do SOMETHING she wouldn't approve of. Like change all the locks and get everyone in town to agree to pretend they don't know Carlota and treat her like a mentally ill trespasser.

Great recap, Gloria.
 

You noted every sequence of events perfectly Gloria. Wonderful recap.

Aron appears reserved and somewhat cool. Urging Paloma to sell Inaki's ring showed a lack of empathy as well as sentimentality. It simply didn't occur to him that Paloma might deeply regret selling something that at one time, meant everything to her.

Rafa and Orlando are both excellent choices for Camila. I'm leaning toward Orlando simply because I think Di and Romina would cause unbelievable carnage to keep her from Rafael.

Vivi, thanks for the explanation of how Angelica fits into the story. I don't think the connection was ever really explained, but what you noted makes sense.

So, is Carlota leaving to implement some heinous plan to thwart Pal's inheritance?

Diana in MA
 

Why would Paloma trust Aron to sell the ring for her? Wouldn't she want to wait until the time came that she really needed the money, then try to get the best possible price?

Does it also not occur to her to wonder why, if the family is apparently low on money, none of them has ever had a job, or seems interested in getting one?

Carlota apparently has to go to the D.F. with her lawyer to do some illegal scheme to keep Paloma from getting her inheritance, but we don't know what that is.

Is it sacrilegious to say that the confessional booth looks funny? It's so short, every time they crawl into it I'm reminded of little kids playing in forts made of appliance boxes.
 

Great recap and funny comments. Gracias. They are especially appreciated as I had to miss last night's episode. I'm hooked and You Tube is not too much of a help with this novela. Is this epi 36?

I agree with Julia. Mac seems out of it regarding the finances. You would think that since Paloma lived in that beautiful home with her folks and they seemed relatively wealthy that they would have left her some money. And you would think Mac would consider this before letting Paloma sell Inaki's ring and Mac her own necklace from Chris for Pal's college education.

Gloria, this is great. Thank you for all the detail. Once again you filled in a lot of little gaps for me.

It sure does look like Angelica is a renter at Inez’s, but I don’t think they ever mentioned it before in the show.

The actor playing Emiliano does a great job when he’s playing angry. I’m wondering if he wouldn’t make a better villain than hero. Great acting all around from the cast as usual. I wonder what the actress playing Carlota is like in real life, because she sure is convincingly evil in this.

My only gripe is with the overdone background music, and that whenever the main theme song comes I can’t get the kinda freaky image of the singer that they show during the closing credits out of my head.
 

I was brought up in a protestant church with no confessional. Can you really see so easily through the grid or partition or whatever you call it? Are confessionals usually right in the church where anyone could overhear?
 

GinaC- After Paloma's parents died, Carlota said (lied) that they had many debts (so no money for Paloma) and that the parents' home had to be sold to pay the debts. Since Carlota controls the money that I assume was left from her and Mac's inheritance, I don't think Mac or Paloma expect her to dip into that money to pay for Paloma going away to college. So they are taking mattters into their own hands with the scholarships and the money from the jewelry. I wouldn't be surprised if Mac was disinherited for "shaming" the family and has no resources of her own.

-Vivi in DC
 

I'm not Catholic either, but in the churches I've visited it seems like the confessionals were usually more closed off, with a grating or something between the priest and the person confessing but solid doors to the outside, and they were usually further away from the main chapel seating, off a corridor or in an alcove or something.

I also seem to remember that when my Catholic friends wanted to go to confession, there were specific times for that during the week or after mass. I don't think there was any priest listening to confessions right during mass...wouldn't it be disruptive to have people getting up all the time?
 

I'm late to the party. Thanks for the recap Gloria, it's great for filling in what I missed.
Yes, Angelica rents from Ines. There was an early episode where Ines thanked her for bringing the rent money so promptly. She wished her other renters were so good. Apparently she has quite a few renters then?
From what I remember, the actress playing Carlota was noted for playing the good people. She turned against form and was one of the Mujeres Asesinas. She was in the only episode I saw of that and played a very good evil, but a somewhat different evil than here.

REALLY late to the party. And I'm so short on time that I raced through the recap and the comments.

But I didn't remember reading the true reason why Paloma is selling the ring. Aron convinced her (I think rightly) that what Iñaki really wanted for Paloma was to get her education. So she gave Aron the ring to have it evaluated, not sure if he was to actually go ahead with the sale. But the idea is to use it to augment the scholarship money so that she can go to university. Going to university solves two problems. It gets her away from complicated relationships with Romina and Emiliano and gives her a career path since she doesn't think she has any money.
 

Thanks, Vivi. I think I missed parts of a few episodes in the beginning because it was so very dark especially with the Yorkie incident so I appreciate your filling me in on the history of the family finances. So, evil Carlota has been lying to Mac about money matters since the very beginning when they took in Paloma. I should have expected that. GinCA
