MEPS - Wednesday, Aug. 5 - Franco and Barbie play let's make a deal; Aurora discovers she's pregnant
EPISODE #121:
* Vladimir cries and throws Damian's crutch into the kitchenette. Damian is frustrated and fed up and yells at Vladimir to give him back the crutch. As Damian stands up with the crutches, Vladimir pushes him and he yells in pain because of his wound. Vladimir wonders what Damian is going to do - Damian says that he will find out what Fey knows about Priscilla and Vladimir's affair, at the risk of his own marriage.
* Franco asks Barbie where Lili is? Barbie wants to know Franco's motives in the search for Lili. They debate making a deal. She balks and hesitates to answer Franco's question. Franco continues to dig and try to find out why Barbie won't tell him. She only proclaims that Lili is safe and sound where she is, and that no one in the Elizalde family or Franco will ever see Lili again. Franco is frustrated and continues to ask about Lili. Barbie finally says the information he wants is classified confidential by someone else in authority. Franco loses patience and starts to choke Barbie to force her to give up the mystery person's name.
* Nun tells Mother Superior that Santi is outside the convent door. Mother Superior informs her that Aurora doesn't want to see him.
* Barbie breaks free from Franco's stranglehold. Franco wants to know the person's name and why he's banned from seeing Lili. Barbie gasps for air and spouts that the person is infinitely powerful and won't permit it. Franco grumbles his continuing frustration and hostility. Barbie says that they really need to be allies now, in order not to lose Lili forever.
* Santi meets with Mother Superior in her office. He asks if Aurora has been to the convent. Mother S thinks about the question.
* Nun visits Aurora in the chapel praying. Aurora asks if the Pastor has arrived.
* Franco grumbles in his thought bubble about his pact with the Hyena, the very devil that made his and his mother's lives heck for many years. Barbie looks at Franco and thought bubbles her own devilish plan to help her own cause (vengeance against Don Artemio for taking her child from her). Barbie hands Franco a glass of water and sits down at her desk. She explains to him how much she despises, hates this mystery person and wants to destroy him. Barbie explains why she needs Franco as an ally in her scheme, then she makes her condition - that Franco has to give up Fey completely.
* Santi finishes with Mother S and starts to leave the office. He turns at the door and tells Mother S to tell Aurora that he was there. Mother S asks him what actually happened? Santi is upset and says that he's looked everywhere for Aurora since she left his family's home. He says that a man took her from the house. Mother S. is impactado (stunned).
* Nun is with Aurora in the chapel. Aurora feels nauseous and faints. Nun panics.
* Santi explains to Mother S that all he knows is that an older man took her from the house. That's all he knows. He's desperate to find Aurora. Mother S apologizes. Santi leaves.
* Franco is curious about Barbie's motives and interests in protecting Fey and Damian's marriage. Barbie explains about her secret plans with destroying the mystery man and their secret pact. Franco is inquisitive about her reasoning. Barbie continues to explain, this time about Fey's need to find her sister. She then asks him again to be her ally. Franco gulps as he turns to put down his glass, then he turns back around, says he accepts her deal, shakes her hand and then stands up.
* Mother S and Nuns pick Aurora up and take her to her bedroom.
* Franco and Barbie finish their agreement discussion.
* Magically, Franco enters Fey's office. He has to explain to Fey about the financial problems with the company. Fey is suspicious about Obregon. Franco continues with explaining that Lili apparently is safe and sound where she is. Fey wonders about Barbie. Franco says that Barbie was indeed behind the kidnapping.
* Damian meets with Priscilla at the hacienda patio. He stuns her with the news that Fey knows about her affair with Vladimir.
* Fey and Franco finish talking about Barbie; Fey restates that he has her promise that she won't tell anyone what they know about Barbie's crimes. Then Fey changes the subject to confessing her thoughts about Santi's search for Aurora. Franco listens quietly as Fey continues to confess her thoughts and problems with her hubby, Vladimir, Jaime Correa, Flor. She apologizes for unloading her family problems on him, and asks if he's uncomfortable about it. He is kind and understanding; he doesn't mind that Fey feels so comfortable with him to trust him like this. He is stunned when Fey reveals Priscilla had an affair with Vladimir.
* Damian tells Priscilla that after Vladimir was fired, Fey revealed that she knows the secret. Priscilla is still stunned. Damian uses the opportunity to solidify his alliance with Priscilla.
* Fey confesses to Franco her idea that when Lili returns, she wants to move with Lili to some place else, to have some peace and tranquility; how much she would love just to escape from her family and all the fights and problems. Franco understands. He listens as she continues to reveal her frustrations and quotes Barbie, her stepmother about family unity.
* Barbie calls Santi on the cell phone. Santi says he has no news or leads about Aurora at the moment. Barbie says she has nothing new to report about Lili either. They hang up. Barbie prays aloud for a chance some day to be with Aurora again.
* Nun brings Aurora tea to her room. As Aurora drinks the tea, the nun sits on her bed. Mother S arrives. Nun leaves. Mother S asks about her illness. Aurora says nothing's wrong. Mother S will call the convent's doctor. Aurora doesn't need to see one. Mother S insists, then asks Aurora when was the last time you saw a doctor? Aurora looks at her confused. Mother then asks when her last cycle was? Aurora is embarrassed. Mother tells her about Santi's visit to the convent today. Aurora gets upset - she doesn't want to see him - she can't see him.
* Santi sits on a park bench, wondering where Aurora is?
* Mother and Aurora continue their discussion about Santi; why Aurora insists that she can't see him. Dr. enters to examine Aurora.
* Franco and Fey have tea in Fey's office. They talk about finding and rescuing Lili. Franco mentions Damian. Fey says that there's no future for her marriage.
* Phantom Ciro reads more entries to Lili from Ana Gregoria's diary. Tonight, Ana Gregoria reveals that this diary has become her very best friend - and that Don Geronimo is the only one who knows she writes in it. (Flashback scene - Ana Gregoria is sweeping in the hallway when Don Gregorio stops her; he wants to read her diary; she refuses to let him, saying it's her secrets; he wonders if they are a secret, too, and says her's a second secret, he kisses her.) Ana Gregoria and Ciro read about her mixed feelings over the kiss. Ciro closes the book and hands it to Lili. He says that her grandpa Don Geronimo had an affair with Ana Gregoria, the mother of Don Artemio, in whose house she is being held. Lili stares at Ciro. ** NOTE: If Don Geronimo looks familiar, it's because it's Anibal with a fake mustache **
* In Villa Madero, Don Silvestre listens as Martina cries about Lili's kidnapping and letting Franco down with her duties. Don Silvestre tries to console his daughter. She really feels horrible about what happened. Don Silvestre repeats that if Franco says don't worry, then there's nothing to worry about. Martina is still shaken and stirred. Don Silvestre tells her to keep the faith.
* At her office, Fey starts to talk about Franco's engagement to Erika and her lousy marriage. Franco thought bubbles how jealous he really is about her marriage to Damian but knows that he has to do this in order to complete his promise to his mom about Lili. Fey sees him silently standing there and thinks he understands everything. Franco states, "Yes, Barbie is going to receive her punishment."
* At the convent, Mother returns to the room and announces to Aurora that she's pregnant. Aurora is stunned.
* In her home office, Barbie thought bubbles how she hyperventilated when Rosenda telling her that the handkerchief was Aurora's only thing she had of her mother. Then she thought bubbles about how she kicked Aurora out of the house, calling her a cheap tramp. Tomasa enters the office to go over the menu for dinner; Barbie asks her to have Fey do it; Tomasa tells her that Fey and Damian will be eating dinner with Franco and Erika tonight.
* At Las Animas, Franco finishes putting on his shoes in his bedroom. He talks with Steve about his deal with the devil Hyena. Steve warns him about the dangers of making a deal with her. Franco knows all that but he can't go back on his word now. Steve continues to warn him, especially about Fey. Franco knows and understands, but insists it's too late to turn back now. Gardenia interrupts - says the guests have arrived. Steve leaves. Gardenia is upset that Franco isn't wearing the shirt she placed on his bed (and sprayed with her herbal cologne). Franco didn't want to wear it, it doesn't go with the pants; she says then she'll find some other pants; he says then he'll have to change his jacket; he says it's too late now, his guests have arrived. He leaves. Gardenia grumbles her frustration about Erika and the engagement.
* At the apartment, Camilo is dreamily enchanted by Lovely. She says that she promised her uncle they would have dinner and go to the movies tonight. He sits her on the couch - he has other ideas for them tonight (he wants to hug and kiss her). She backs out of his reach and starts to call Steve - Camilo continues to try to kiss and hold her. Lovely stands there on the cell phone as he asks about their love life after they are married. She stares at him.
* Steve tells a funny story about Franco at work to Fey, Damian and Erika. Erika is an airhead; Damian has to explain business; Franco has to add his own details to the story. Damian wonders about them living in the U.S. Then he gets the surprise 'light bulb' idea that maybe he and Fey can plan a cruise for the two couples to take together. Fey looks at him, stunned beyond belief.
ADVANCE: The drama continues at the engagement party!
* Vladimir cries and throws Damian's crutch into the kitchenette. Damian is frustrated and fed up and yells at Vladimir to give him back the crutch. As Damian stands up with the crutches, Vladimir pushes him and he yells in pain because of his wound. Vladimir wonders what Damian is going to do - Damian says that he will find out what Fey knows about Priscilla and Vladimir's affair, at the risk of his own marriage.

Jody...I love how you write a straightforward recap and then suddenly slip in a quip like "Martina is shaken and stirred". Sly fox you!
Thanks for the 411 on what happened last night. I missed the show but sounds like things are still moving along briskly.

Thanks for the recap Jody. I missed a few parts in there and you filled it in for me.
I liked Gardenia's hair. She looked really pretty.
Erika--retarded
I think Barbie secretly likes being choked.
Did anyone else think Don Jeronimo's mustache was going to fall off? That guy is just creepy.

Thanks, Jody! I fell fast asleep after a stunning bottle of Malbec & some paella with a friend so other than the opening credits, I missed the whole episode. Judy, you beat me to the punch on the "shaken & stirred" comment...nice touch, Jody!
So are we to believe that Babs actually has a heart? And now she's going to combine forces with Fr/Ed to bring down AB? Hmmm, this sounds like a disaster in the making.
So many anvils teetering on the edge and as Susanlynn noticed yesterday, no one is getting any bedroom action. What tips first--the anvils or the sex?
And when will the find the old guy at the bottom of the hill, who apparently has Fr/Ed's envelope, the keys to Babs' stolen car & DDenia's shopping bag?

Thanks, Jody. Well, hello Abuela Barbie !!! She'll be thrilled to find out that not only is she a mama , she's also a grandmama. Speaking of ''Barbie,'' DDenia seems to think that Fr'ed is her own personal Ken doll...''Why aren't you wearing THIS shirt???'' I was hoping that he'd say , ''Because it smells awful....What kind of detergent did you use ?'' I thought the whole conversation about Fr'ed's wardrobe was funny....''If I change the shirt, i'll have to change the pants, and then , I'll have to change the jacket....'' It sounded SO familiar to me. It reminded me of critiquing Hub's color combinations just before we walk out the door..''That color shirt doesn't go with those pants.'' Like Fr'ed, Hub is not happy about changing his clothes. As for the scenes between FC and Lucero, I'll bet that they are having a blast . If you've seen the bloopers from Alborada, you know that Lucero has a really wonky sense of humor. I thought it was very thoughtful that she offered Fr'ed a glass of water after he choked her. YIKES. That double date between Fr'ed and Er and Dam and Fer with eSteve stirring the pot and DDenia glaring and muttering in the bar area is great. Let's go on a cruise together !!!! Question: Exactly why is it so important to Barbie that Fr'ed stays away from Fer ? Doesn't make any sense to me. I know, I know...it's a telenovelas...it's not supposed to make any sense.

The shirt DD picked out for Fr/Ed was a turtleneck. Isn't it kind of hot in Mexico?
Why does Fer put up with Damian? He's such a jerk. He makes everyone uncomfortable. He needs to hobble in front of a bus and end our pain and suffering.

Mother Superior lied with a straight face to Santi. He asked her if she had seen Aurora. She thought for a moment and said she hadn't. What's up with that? She didn't even try to fudge it a little. She needs to head straight to the confessional.
Aurora knows she was drugged, but she should know she wasn't sexually attacked by Camilo. She's the greatest overreacting crying machine in this story.

I don't get it. Why is Babs now asking Fr/Ed to stay away from Fernanda? At one time she told Damian that when the family found out about their tryst, she would be shamed & Damian would have the sympathy of the Elizaldes. I guess it's the writers attempt to keep Fr/Ed away from Fernanda for awhile because he promised Babs!!!!! As if a promise to Babs should mean something??????
Looking forward to another party.
I must say they can get a party together pretty fast, I would have to prepare for a week.
Say what? Damian wants he & Fernanda to have a honeymoon with Fr/Ed & Erika? Oh well, it's not going to happen anyway.
Keep the list going, I know we are missing a few
loose ends
Gonzo's car
Marcario
The envelope found in Artemio's office
The real Franco Santorro
AB's phone # Denia retrieved long ago
DDenia's shopping bag.

Hi Jody, I really enjoyed your recap. "Shaken and stirred" also totally cracked me up. Speaking of laughter, yes Connie, I kept waiting for Don Jeronimo's moustache to fall off or at least slip. I find the flashback scenes of him and Ana Gregoria incredibly creepy.
Hey Susanlynn, I did a 3 episode MEPS catch-up last night and was going crazy trying to recognize Ana Gregoria, however I knew if I checked back in the comments you would identify her. Nice job amiga, she was the sweet and long-suffering Doc Valeria from QE.
I can't wait for the engagement party. Every time there is any sort of gathering complete pandemonium breaks out.
Thanks Jody!

Thanks Jody. What a treat it is to relive last night through your eyes. When Grampa Jerry went in for the kiss on Ana Gregoria, I was almost expecting Ana G to turn around wearing that dopey mustache.
Gardenia's severe retro hairstyle? I love it. She is simply one gorgeous woman. I think she is so cute fretting over Eddie's lack of compliance with her wardrobe choices, carefully doctored with Love Potion #9. She certainly manages to stay focused.

Was that the engagement party? Only 5 people!

Thanks, Jody for the recap, loved the "shaken, stirred" comment.
I can't believe that they are allying Babs and Eddy. Especially after Babs tells Eddy no one will ever see Lili again- que el infierno? So, what's the point from Eddy's point of view? Strangle the truth out of her again.
That stupid moustache- why bother, maybe it was for comic relief.
Poor Gardenia- her expensive love potion plan is backfiring. I'm wondering if they put the wrong snake oil in the bottle, and it has some anti-pheremone quality. This dinner is going to be interesting, as they all seem to be.

Anibal without the mistache is creepy but with it---Ack! I though it was going to come to life and spin around under his nose. Ewwwww...
Do we just assume that Lucio is long gone? He's in jail but I wonder if he will come back to haunt Babs in some way.
Thank you Jody.
I think Barb wants Franco to stay away from Fer for two reasons, maybe three. One, because it adds purpose to Damian's life and she keeps control of Damian, two, because it propels the destruction of the Elizade family completing her assignment; and three because she enjoys playing/torturing the ants around her.

I'm still reasuring myself that eSteve is not going to throw Loafly to the trash. His character does not show him as being insensitive to other's feelings. When Errika asked what he thought about Franco and her getting married he was kind. And he always deals with Denia in a kind manner. Besides...Steve is one of the good guys and BFF of the hero. He is not going to do the dastardly dead of throwing Venus under the bus. But he is going to have to come up with some kind of surprise and I just don't think it will be revealing her prior profession.
Yeah Carlos, and it is a relief to have Denia focus her actions on spaying love potion #9. Talk about keeping faith.
Maybe Franco should start a diary - to be read in future time by Fernanda - explaining his deepest true agony while he is doing this stuff.
I feel confident (sort of) that Ed/Fr knows that Barb can not keep an aliance because she has no honor.
But why-ohwhy-ohwhy is Fernanda allowing Damian to drool on her in public settings? His cause of course is to display ownership. But what is her reason?

Dam drools and paws at Fer while Erika hangs and droops all over Fr/Ed. Maybe those two should get together. They would probably smother each other... It is so disrespectful to act like that.
Susanlynn, you crack me up! re: your post on Wednesday of who's not hopping.
About the list of missing things, I think some of those things are (Alfred) Hitchcock props. Just meant for us to watch and worry about falling into the wrong hands at the worse time all for naught. Abora's little white handbag and the hankie showed up but .....

Pasofino- Are you sure Aurora knows she was drugged? And are we ans he sure Cadmillo didn't have his way with her? From what she said to the nun about why she can't face Santi it sounds like she thinks she and Cad had sex and that it was somehow her fault. Like she somehow had some moment of out of body/out of mind experience, lost all her morals, and fell into bed willingly with Cad.

That should have read: "Are we and she sure that Cad didn't have his way with her?" Sorry for typos.

You're all very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed my recap. I too was laughing with the sight of that mustache on Anibal wondering when it was going to fly off and hit something.
Connie -- too funny. i had been wondering the same thing, why the writers didn't have damian and erika become close friends?
Vivi - remember Aurora was out of it and when she regained her sanity, Barbie was there to scold and yell at her for finding her in bed with Cami. (it was a total set-up by Barbie to get Aurora to leave the house for good. of course, now that she knows Aurora is her daughter, she's all nicey nice with Santi because she wants her daughter back with her.
Jody :)

Jody: A terrific "tell-it-like-it-was recap. I always enjoy your recaps.
As my friend Judy and others have pointed out the "shaken and stirred" was perfect.
Connie, Carlos and elle: Gardenia looked beautiful - hair, dress, everything was lovely. Had she worn a smile instead of a scowl, she would have been perfect.
Maggarita, I don't think Barbie is emotionally capable of love. I believe she feels anger tinged with regret over Aurora, but isn't suffering the devastating loss of a child as a normal person with fully developed emotions would.
Susanlynn, enjoyed your take on Fr's wardrobe musings.
Dam is being oversolicitous of Fer just to annoy her and Franco (and it's working well, isn't it? :))
Fer knows Pris and Vlad had an affair but she doesn't know the baby is his, does she? Pris is getting more desperate each episode, hope she doesn't do anything drastic.

I thought they were going out to dinner not eating at Las Animas. Did DD have to cook for all those people? I can't imagine her doing it. I guess Erika could have done it but someone would have to surgically remove her from Fr/Ed.
Vivi and Jody: When Aurora was on the bus headed to the convent, she thought-bubbled that the drops (gotas) that Camilo gave her were some kind of drug. And come on, if you (a woman) had sex with someone in your sleep, don't you think you'd have some sort of idea that something happened to you?
Aurora flips from one idea to another. She doesn't want to cause trouble between Camilo and Santi. But, there's trouble there already. She's ashamed of herself for no reason. She won't tell the truth to anyone including herself. I'll add her to list of the delusional on equal footing with Erika.
BTW -I've heard of the Flying Nun, now we have the Lying Nun.

Good one Pasofino! The flying nun was a great show. Why didn't she tell Santi that Aurora was there?
Pasofino: "The Lying Nun" :) Good one!

Thanks for an excellent recap, Jody.
I thought Gardenia looked nice, but my favorite is still Martina. Too bad all she was doing was crying. She's better when she gets to kick butt!
I still think Camilo did the deed with Aurora, although we don't know for sure. As for what Aurora knows, although she was dazed at first, later, on the bus, she realized she had been drugged by Camilo and taken advantage of. But she's still ashamed of it, and can't face Santiago.
I think Priscila should confess to Fernanda exactly what happened. Pris really just made this one (very serious) mistake, and it keeps getting her in deeper and deeper with the bad guys. But Fernanda would be understanding, and maybe together they could figure a way out for her (actually she needs a new guy, both Anibal and Vladimir are duds).

Connie, if Dam gets hit by a bus, who will we make fun of?
I dont' like when Venus is Loafly! The voice is like fingernails on a blackboard. She makes me want to scream!
Fer and Fr/Ed have got to get locked in a room together. This shows complete lack of non-creepy gross sex is getting really boring! The whole montage they run at the end just makes me say ewwww! No Santi and Bora, No Dam and Barb, No Barb and old dude, No Vlad and Pris, No Cad and anyone! No, no, no!!! Blech!

Hombre: I disagree. If Camilo had "done the deed" with Aurora, he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut. He would have told Bar or even bragged about it to Santi or some other male about town.
Camilo is a cad, but, I don't think he's a rapist.
Also, I don't know why the Lying Nun lied.

Bonney, Barb cut the hankie into little pieces & hung the purse back on the chair.
Jody, We can't do that to Erika, one class A strong-arm creep is enough. Besides, Damian is going to be sharing a cell with Lucio.
Fernanda doesn't know that the baby is Vladimir's. I think Pris & Fer will have a heart to heart, since Pris has been told about Fer & Fr/Ed & knows that Fer knows about her affair with Vlad.
Lying nun & lying padre, wonder how many Hail Mary's that's worth?
Knowing what crud Camilo is, I feel sure he did the dirty deed to Aurora. Either way, Santiago may kill Camilo or at least add some damage to what Erika did.

Sylvia~~~I remember thinking that Ana G. was the longsuffering doctor from Querida Enemiga , but did I actually post that thought? If I didn't, it means that we are on the same cosmic frequency and you read my mind across the miles . Did I post that thought , or did you read my mind? Pasofino~~I liked ''The Lying Nun'' and I liked ''The Flying Nun.'' I also like this order's habits...the offwhite and pale pink is so soft , feminine and prettylooking...really so much better that the clothes most of the chicas on this show have been given to wear. I agree that DDenia looked stunning with her hair up. Now if she could just come back to earth and accept the fact that the Love Potion #9 is not working and Ed will never be hers...Maybe that tight French braid will help snap her out of her onsession. I thought that Er told Fr'ed that she was going to cook dinner for the double date. By the way, have you ever been on a doubledate and was it as weird as this one ? Finally, I think we have a new expression ...instead of ''He threw me under the bus. '' we can say ''He threw me under Camilo.'' I think I'd pick the bus if given a choice. [By the way, what is up with Loafly and the caps ? Who wears a chiffon babydoll dress/nighty with a felt cap...in the house? Am I missing a new fashion trend ? ]

I was thinking that too Susanlynn. Dress--not too bad, hat--not so good (especially together).
That was a weird date that's for sure. Did you notice how Fr/Ed and The Leach sat together and Dam and Fr sat on two separate chairs. And yet, he still was able to slime all over her.
Ok Molly, you're right, maybe the bus could just damage his other leg! Now that could be really interesting.

Thanks, Jody. Great recap.
I concur with those who expected Grampa Jeronimo's moustache to end up on the face of Ana Gregoria.
Ladies, let's take a poll. Did any of you faint dead away in the early stages of pregnancy? Not me.
Loafly's dress was weird. At first I thought she was in a sexy nighty, but then gathered she planned to go to the movies in it. Que the hell? For sure most guys would miss quite a bit of the movie.
Another GREAT set of conversations with Fr/Ed and Barbwire. Maybe tonight the lightbulb will go on over his head that Artemio Bravo has Liliana. After all, he already suspects him of being the hombre poderoso, having found him in the city and gone to his recently vacated office. It shouldn't be that hard to figure how who Babs is referring to.

Novelera, I only got dizzy and threw up. I never fainted. I could fall asleep where I was standing though which could be inconvenient.
Novelera~~~The first time I was pregnant, I went to a late business dinner with Hub . Because I was hungry, I got a little dizzy. I went to the ladies' room and sat on a marble step and put my head in the hands. People thought I was drunk, so I had to put my head up once in awhile and announce ''I'm not drunk, I'm pregnant.''

Something else that was jaw dropping funnie was when Vlad was telling Damd how histerical and out of control Gordita had become.
There is only one solution for this man and Damian can't do the job because he is not capable of solving problems. Lock Vlad away, and toss Damd in with him. BTW, why doesn't Priss see that Damian is a total incompetent? He can't save her. Look at how his own life is a wreck.

Ok Connie, two bum legs would lead to more kinky sex with Babs, please no!
Vlad is the only one who is out of control. Pris just keeps saying go away!
With my first, I had a fit of sneezing in the middle of a deposition (worked for lawyers), had to leave the room after 20 sneezes.

Never fainted during my pregnancy.
I was watching the Bravo show "Real housewives of New Jersey" one of the wives had on the same strapless dress Lovely was wearing, only a different color. Guess they wear some clothes off the rack and not all by a costume designer.
made the Corn Casserole...yummie!
thanks!

Abora feels raped. Whether he penetrated or did not have pentration , against her will he took off her clothes touched her naked body and climbed into bed with her. Cad's intention was also to rape. He did not try to seduce her because his only goal was to have sex with her against her will. Cadmillo is a rapist.
I also think Cad raped Abora. Of course, Abora isn't smart enough to realize that you don't get symptoms two days after sex (if it is two days). So she's bound to think it's Cad's swimmers who did the deed instead of the more logical Santi.
He couldn't have bragged about it to anyone, because even Cad knows no one in his family would forgive his doing that. As far as I can see, Cad doesn't have any contacts outside his family members to brag to. I don't remember if he explicitly told Babs he'd done it.

I just can't believe they'd hang that dark cloud over Aurora's head after all she's been through in her life. Yes, she's annoying and weepy but her character is written as innocent and gentle and she's never done anything to anyone. Plus, Santi's life would be ruinted as well. I think Cad may have had "mechanical difficulties" and didn't complete the deed, though what he did was foul enough. How can Barbara even look at him now, even though it was her idea.
Barbara and Fr/Ed verbal sparring is like a chess game come to life.

Loafly looks like she's wearing something out of an Austin Powers movie. Could her wardrobe be any more 60s? But I have to agree about the voice. I can't stand the constant moaning she does. Is that supposed to be sexy?
I must be the only one here who likes Erica. I really do. I know she's clueless, but her happiness (even if its misplaced) is such a relief from the angst-ridden disfunctional Elizalde clan. I think Dam is drooling over Fer just to see if he can push Fr/Ed's button. Will either Fer or Fr/Ed react and reveal an "affair"? Remember, Dam wants revenge. I think he's hoping to publicly humiliate Fer by outing her & Fr/Ed in front of Erica.

Aurora is kind of dangerous as a mate for anybody. I remember thinking that everytime she reprimanded Santiago for being cautious or mistrustful of his brother and Babs. She seemed to feel that he should be like her, a lamb that keeps coming back even if it hurt last time. Her letter to Santiago when she was leaving was not placed under his pillow but hand delivered to the woman who just cursed her and threw her out into the dark rainy night. This chile needs a lot of work and she needs to start that work on herself.
Loafly is a porno movie. That voice drives me nuts. Cad just needs his pizza delivery shirt to make it complete. Blech!
Jackie~ Cad is just the type of guy one would wish ''mechanical difficulties'' on....him and Dam. I think that the pie truck is headed straight for both of them , so mechanical difficulties will be the least of their problems. Maybe the writers wanted us to wait and wonder if Cad really raped Aurora. He's the only one who actually knows, so if the writers don't have him brag or confess, we in Viewerville will never ever know for sure. Either way, it was a terrible thing to do to someone...shame on you both, Barbie and Cad.

I like Erika too, but probably more because I remember how good the actress was in Pasión, Than her part in MEPS. The writers are carrying the bubbly thing a little too far. She is a pretty woman with cute dimples & Pretty eyes.
I think that Damian wants to shame Fernanda before the family, mainly her father because she is daddy's little girl. Of course as BFF it won't go over too well with Erika. But I think the dawn will come to Erika & especially when it's revealed that Franco is really Eduardo, she will understand. I'm still waiting for a new man to show up for Erika. We still have some more characters coming.
Still mulling over what could have been so bad that Artemio hates the Elizaldes so much. I guess he & Fr/Ed are kindred spirits in the fact that their mothers were hurt or died because of them. But Fr/Ed's hate is directed at Babs, not the whole family.
I don't think it could be money, Artemio seems to be ok in that dept. Maybe he is Gonzo's evil twin, separated at birth by Jerónimo because the señoras baby died. They kept Gonzo & sent Artemio packing with his pobre mamá, Ana. That would make you mad.

Jody, thanks for a great recap. Couldn't survive without you recappers!
I think Cad did the deed because he has no conscience, hates his brother Santiago and enjoys putting him down/hurting him in any way possible.....my two cents.

Whoever came up with the pie truck death of Damian as the vilain needs to post it on Melinama's lens. That one is too funny & unique.
elle, I'm glad you enjoyed the corn casserole. It certainly was a hit at our family reunion.
Xintperuvian, I like Erica fairly well. She has the most normal family and family life in this neighborhood. I think that she's quite a bit smarter than she appears to be.
Novelera, I delivered lots of babies during my career. I think more boyfriends fainted on learning that their girlfriends were pregnant than the actual pregnant women themselves as a symptom of pregnancy.

Carlos~~I am sure you will appreciate this tale. As our first child was just about ready to be born, Hub was hurriedly trying to get his footies over his shoes so that he could come into the delivery room. The obstetrician stood watching him struggle for a moment , and finally, he smiled at Hub and whispered, ''That's your hat.'' However, to his credit, Hub was a little breathless, but he didn't faint.

Thanks for a great recap Jody. I was in the dark throughout the most important parts of the story.
I wonder how many re-takes Geronimo and Ana had to do when he kissed her with that stupid mustache because it kept falling off. I thought it would happen the minute he came close to her. I'm sure they had a lot of laughs with that scene.
Did anyone notice that when Fr/Ed and Fer were in her office having coffee/tea, they were drinking out of cups that had a picture of what looked like "Elsie the Cow" on them.
What is it with these TNs and the actors wearing hats in the house. Lovely looked ridiculous with it, especially with that dress/nitie she was wearing.

¡qué lastima! there is no one we can send shopping with Venus. Fernanda with weird skirts & brownie dresses, Babs with long coat things, Pris & Erika with bright prints. Why hasn't Esteve hired a fashion adviser? Certainly he can't offer any.
I see a little black dress on Fernanda for the party, looks good, just need a better look.

Ok everyone who is still speculating on whether Cadho did the nasty deed he did. Go to you ntube and watch the episode again.It looks like a slightly different version of the one we saw over here in the states. Remember we also have very puritanical laws over here too. Cadho also confirmed he did do it, go the episode last week when the family was gathered in the living room waiting for news of Lilli kidnap. How he and Santiago were exchanging words and then he thought aloud to himself saying if only Santiago knew he has sampled his girlfriend. He really deserves whatever is coming to him.

Anon 6:13- yes I remmeber that thought bubble, and my impression at the time, after the ill deed was that he did. I just can't believe that the writers would do something like that to such an innocent character, and I've always had my doubts due to that. They've been making him out to be the ultimate slimy ratbastard, not a single redeeming quality, and they've succeeded. He deserves an anvil truck.
All Erika needs is a job - or at least a charity to spend some time on! She and Priscilla are completely idle women and that's what's getting them into trouble!
Carlos~ HA...I was a little distracted at the time, so I didn't notice if Hub and Doctor J. were wearing matching hats or if Hub's was of a lesser quality and dorkierlooking than Earl's , but either way, it wouldn't have been good on his foot. As I recall , I was a little brusque and rude to both Dr. J. and Hub and didn't much care about either of their ensembles at that point .

Variopinta if you are asking about the night he gave Aurora the date rape drug it was last month right what chapter or episode i can't remember. The reason i watched it again on youtube was at the same afterward so many people were wondering if he did it. I thought after last week episode it had clear up everyones guess about whether he did it or not. I do recall when i watched that particular episode on youtube it left no doubt in my mind that he actually did rape poor gullible Aurora. I also thought the scene itself like said before was a little different in conveying that he did rape Aurora. You have to go to youtube to find the scene though. Sorry i don't remeber the episode number.

No, I did not envision Sendel getting hit by a pie truck in Heridas. That was the very first telenovela final I ever saw - I had no idea what kind of ending was in store for him. I thought he'd try to rescue Bertha and become another victim of El Guapo, but instead he got hit by (according to Ferro's recap, because I no longer remember the details) an ugly car.
I'm not sure how the ugly car morphed into a pie truck, but we've been joking about death by pie truck ever since. (Especially during Pasion, when at one point it was a pie cart filled with scorpions.)
