ENDA Friday October 30. Who’s your daddy?
Repeats: Emiliano goes to the bachelor pad to confront Germán, but Germy isn’t home. Emo roots through the dresser drawers and finds the incriminating green camisole of deceit. He leaves with intense purpose.
Carlota gets Rufi to confirm to Paloma that her father is alive. Paloma demands to know who and where he is.
New: Neither Rufi nor Carlota will tell Paloma who her father is, as they promised Macarena that they wouldn’t. Hostility breaks out in which Carloca simultaneously claims that Paloma’s father doesn’t know of her existence, and that he abandoned her. It seems the nuns don’t run a debate club at that useless school, as Paloma fails to see the factual dissonance and instead is just doubly hurt. She runs off to her room, wailing and blubbering as usual.
Camila and Rafael simultaneously try to call each other and thus both get voicemail. Rafa shrugs and goes back to his bar chat with Joel, while Cami sits in her car flailing tears all over.
Inés is swooning because she has received another letter from her secret admirer. She doesn’t feel the need to find out who he is; it makes her happy just to get the letters and imagine that every handsome, nice man she sees in the street might be him. Angélica rains on her parade with the announcement that she’s quit her job. Inés is surprised; it seemed like she was doing so well there. Ange says it was a matter of professional ethics and she hates to bail on Orly, but she thinks it’s best to leave. She doesn’t know what she will do next and will have to consult the pillow.
Diana calls Romina to tell her to put that mosca muerta (dead fly, meaning Paloma, I assume) in her place. She also asks Ro for help in getting Rafael to return. Di thinks he must have broken up with his mystery mistress because he’s seemed sad lately, so it’s a perfect opportunity to club him over the head and drag him back to the cave. Still, Diana wants to find out what lagartona tried to steal him away. She asks for Romina’s detective’s information.
Germán seeks advice from the village medicine man. The bartender thinks he’s screwed. If he says anything to try to claim his baby, he’ll probably lose both the lady and his best friend, and they’ll end up in the hospital. Germs says Emo is a lover, not a fighter. Mr. Bartender says maybe your friend does have atole in his veins, but if it was me I would break your face.
Emo joins Rafa in the bar and says Romina’s baby may not be his.
Paloma is YET AGAIN crying on her bed, chastising Mac’s photo for deceiving her. Rufi tells her that her mother never deceived her; she really believed that daddy was dead and only recently found out that he is not. Paloma naturally wants to know the whole story of who her father is and why each of her parents thought the other was dead, but Rufi won’t tell her anything because Mac didn’t give permission. Of all the insanely stupid plot stallers. You two are on the same team, Rufi!
Cami drags herself back into her house, after an awful day which was surely made even worse by the terrible cummerbunded and/or high-waisted pants and buttoned-to-the-neck ugly blouse she was wearing. Romina is in bed watching television, which we don’t see but it sounds suspiciously like Un Gancho al Corazón. And yet she has no sense of humor herself. Romina tells Camila that Diana wants to investigate and find out about the mysteress in Rafael’s life. However, Romememena offers to call her off the chase in exchange for Cami’s help in forcing Emo into marriage. At some point Ro is going to lose track of whom she is playing against whom. Cami isn’t much help though, as she is still stuck on this “but he doesn’t love you and it would be a disaster” refrain.
Natalia calls Paloma and they make plans to meet after school the next day. Carloca lurks like a vulture and then demands to know what that was all about. Paloma needs to learn to say “none of your beeswax” or the equivalent en español. Cruel tells her it’s so improper for Natalia to visit her priestly ex-novio without a buffering husband, and since she and Alonso are on the outs it’s obvious she’s trying to get Padre Juan back. Paloma doesn’t think Nat is the skanky kind of woman who would go after a priest. Carloca doesn’t even register that unintended zing because obviously rules do not apply to her.
Rufi prays about whether she should tell Paloma who her father is, or keep quiet.
Germs stumbles home and finds his bedroom tossed.
Rafael doesn’t think Emo should ruin Romememena’s reputation without proof. Oh, please. He says kissing doesn’t prove relations were had and wonders whether Germán would really do such a thing. Emo says Germs has always been a good friend, but has been acting suspicious lately.
Emil sends Paloma a text message saying “maybe all is not lost. Have faith.” Then he rings Romina’s bell. Cami answers; Romina is asleep. Camila asks Emo to at least consider marrying Romina if he has any feelings for her at all. In response, Emo pulls out the incriminating green camisole and asks if it belongs to Romina. Cami somehow recognizes this generic clothing item and confirms its ownership.
Casa Germs. Emil calls Germy a bastard traitor and fists fly. Germy says it was just a little fling with Romina. They were overcome with passion one day and kissed, but nothing more. Emo doesn’t believe him and says he will find out the whole truth eventually.
Romina is still lounging in bed being waited on for some incomprehensible reason. She’s annoyed that Camila didn’t wake her up when Emo came by; he probably wanted to propose! Cami snorts and says probably not, but he did bring her camisole back. They don’t know why he had it. Romina leaves a smooch-woochy message for Emiliano while Camila stares in bug-eyed disbelief.
Germán tries to call Romina but she doesn’t answer. She decides to have a bath and get fixed up all purdy in case Emiliano visits. Camila says to call her or Fina (the maid has a name!) if she needs anything, as if Romememena is a convalescent. Germy is all in a lather and leaves frantic messages for Romina.
Rufi tells Cruelota that they should tell Paloma who her father is. It’s mean to leave her wondering. Cruel nonsensically argues that it would be harder for her to know that her father is a priest; how sinful. Rufi says he wasn’t a priest then, try again. So Cruel just says we aren’t going to tell her and that is that. “Is that a threat?” asks Rufi. Yes, it is. Rufi still thinks to herself that it would be better to just tell the truth.
Liliana tells Paloma that she spilled the beans to Emiliano. Paloma’s mad and worried that he will be angry with her for not telling him herself. Lili says she was never going to tell him, and they may as well get the fight over with so they can get on with the reconciliation.
Romina figures out that she had left the camisole at Germy’s place after one of their assignations. She flips out and calls Cami to baffle her by asking about Emo’s mood when he returned it. Cami says he didn’t seem to be in any particular sort of state. She calls Germy and hears about the fight. Germs says they’re screwed. Romina throws a tantrum.
Emiliano consults with Padre JC. PJC doesn’t approve of violence but is glad that Emo is trying to get to the bottom of things. Emil says Paloma won’t talk with him, but PJC tells him to insist because if people don’t talk, important things stay hidden.
Carlota drops by Natalia’s with some sort of baked good, the traditional bait of the gossip-fishing lady. She warns Nat not to put any crazy liberal big-city modern-woman ideas in Paloma’s head, as she is too simple for such things. “You can’t be serious,” Natalia says. Oh, but she is. Cris calls to tell Nat that Doc Rodolfo had an emergency so they’ll have to meet an hour later than planned. Carlota excuses herself and leaves, probably to run home and get her new camera to record the shocking scandal of a priest going to someone’s house.
Ange wants Camila to forgive her and understand her side of the situation. Cami does not care.
Paloma tells PJC about her current conflict: Romina said if Emiliano doesn’t marry her, she will abort the baby. PJC advises her to tell Emiliano all this. Paloma tells him that Romina asked her to keep it a secret. “Who cares?” asks PJC. “Do what you think is right.”
Carloca takes her camera back to the shop to have the photos printed.
Camila and Rafael cross paths on the street; he asks how she’s doing. Eh, so-so. He says not to worry, Emiliano will absolutely support the child if it is his. “What do you mean, IF?” Oops. Er, nothing, that is just a figure of speech. Everything’s fine. Cami longingly watches him walk away as their tune of amor plays.
Paloma goes to Natalia’s house and they catch up: Carlota visited, Carlota might be mad at Paloma but she always is so what’s new, Nat and Alonso will probably divorce, Paloma’s sorry about that. Paloma wonders if it’s hard for Natalia to see PJC as a priest since they were going to marry once. Nat says that was a long time ago and she’s moved on, the same way Macarena probably did. “What do you mean?” asks Paloma. “You didn’t know about Mac and Cris?” replies Nat.
Avances: Emiliano confronts Romina. He wants a paternity test. Will Nat tell Paloma the whole story, or will she just say, “oh, nothing,” and Paloma will forget about it ten minutes later like she forgets everything important?
Carlota gets Rufi to confirm to Paloma that her father is alive. Paloma demands to know who and where he is.
New: Neither Rufi nor Carlota will tell Paloma who her father is, as they promised Macarena that they wouldn’t. Hostility breaks out in which Carloca simultaneously claims that Paloma’s father doesn’t know of her existence, and that he abandoned her.

Julia, thanks so much for the wonderfully snarky and helpful recap. Paloma wailing and blubbering as usual, Ange consulting her pillow for advice, etc.
Though I was thrilled when Nat mentioned Macarena and Cris, I'm willing to bet that she'll follow the warped ethics of TN-land and drop the topic rather than clue Paloma in. Sigh.

Julia, thank you for the great recap. I appreciate all of your volunteer time.
I can not believe that Romina is now blackmailing her mother, what a self-centered brat. I think if it were my offspring, I would have sent her packing.

Buenas dias, Julia!
Muchas gracias por su recapitisimo!
haha
My on-site translator went to Atlanta to visit her 2 yr old grandaughter for Halloween, leaving me with only international body language to interpret last night's episode. Wow! I thought Carlota was trying to poison Nat's little dinner party with that cake. phew...
I recorded the show and will now review it with your super-recap close at hand.
I'm really liking the character study aspects of this story line but I agree that we need some emotional relief (besides Emiliano's Halloween nun costume) ...and Paloma needs to quit blubbering all the time and start kicking some a$$. She'll be 18 soon and in control of her inheritance (we hope).
Grow up, Pal!

Does Paloma suffer from ADD? I hope she decides to leave Carloca, she also needs to stop blubbering and think. Please let Natalia tell her everything on Monday. Her finding out that Carloca told the big lie to keep Mac and Cris apart from each other will hopefully make her realize it's time to get away from La Loca. German is an spineless slimely, sleazy jerk. Tell the truth just kisses. I don't to off my shirt or blouse if i'm just kissing.

Julia, thanks for a great and very detailed recap and also for volunteering. I fell asleep and completely missed it all so I am especially grateful.
I tried youtubing it but I don't think they show all that goes on TV.
When is Paloma going to wake up and realize that Romina is an awful person. I wish I could shake some sense into her. They're both so frustrating!!
Once again...THANKS!!!

Julia: Thanks for the wonderful and funny recap.
Did Inez tell Angelica that the rent was still due after Angelica told her she had quit her job. I thought I heard Angelica tell Inez that she shouldn't worry because the rent would be paid.
We have no clue about Inez' secret admirer. I hope it's the friendly neighborhood corner taco vendor.
Yes, yes, Paloma, dry up those tears already. We're drowning in your mostly self-inflicted sorrows.

Julia, thank you for the informative and snarky recap. It's nice to read about the continuing trials and tribulations of Real del Monte with my morning coffee. I know you stayed up late for your extra recap and it's appreciated. Just wanted to let you know about the day of the week in the title. You fell back a little too to far with your daylight savings time. LOL.
Yes, Paloma must have ADD or had oxygen deprivation as a baby because she doesn't learn from her experiences. She should take anything said by Carlota with skepticism especially since she badmouth's everyone she's fond of...Emil, Macarena, Father Juan, etc. and, now, Natalia. When o when will Natalia mention Pal's inheritance as well.
Yes, I think Ines mentioned she needed the rent money from Angie whether she was working or not. Angie needs to scrape up another job in that small town since she left Orly without any plans as far as I know.
Camila is on an even worse downward spiral and it seems she now has no one to confide in besides maybe Rafa whose off limits.
Happy Halloween, GinCA

I guess Cami really can't confide in Rafa as well since Romi is blackmailing her own mother by threatening to ruin Rafa's divorce by telling Diana who the other woman is. Romi is forcing Cami to lie to Rafa by encouraging the marriage. Well, she hasn't been too nice and forgiving to Angie even though Angie didn't really betray her. So she lost Mac and now Angie. GinCA

ngie can go back to being an counselor at school because mother superior did offer to give her her job back. I'm also really disappointed in Camila lately.
Thank god for Lilliana otherwise Paloma would believe anything RoMEna tells her.
Mondays avances Emiliano confronts RoMEna and i want to see what type of lie she will say to get out of taking an paternity test.
La Loca Carloca said she got rid Mac,will get rid of Natalia if she has to or any woman who comes between her and Cris including his daughter Paloma. This crazy pyscho is so insane. She won't have access to the inheritance anymore if she gets rid of Paloma. OMG she's bonkers.
I just wish Lilliana would be around Carloca so she can open Paloma's eyes about her being manipulated by her too.

Didn't Angie decline the school counseling job as she didn't want to displace the person they had hired? Maybe not, as my Spanish and memory are not great. Anyway, it's not important as compared to what crazy Carlota is up to next. It's been awhile (a month or so) since she's knocked someone off. GinCa

Angie decline the invitation to go back because she had made an commitment to work for Orlando. I don't think they replaced her position yet.
I just hope Natalia tells Paloma the truth about Mac and Cris and get the hell out of that town quickly. She is definitely on Carloca's radar and maybe next victim. Where the heck is Carmen?

I believe Angie turned down the school offer because she was already committed to working with Orlando but maybe she can now go back.
Sometimes I want to shake some sense into Paloma regarding Carloca and RoMena and that incessant sobbing on her bed, but I do cut her some slack as I've never seen a protaganista with such an unrelentingly tragic life. Let's see,
1. The death of both her parents
when she was still a child.
2. Physical and emotional abuse
by Tia Carloca.
3. Death of her fiance on wedding
day.
4. Revelation that Mac was her
mother and that she'd been
lied to all those years.
5. Death of Mac.
6. Possible loss of new love, Emo,
due to conflict over false
friend, RoMena.
Did I leave anything out? And all this before she is even 18. I'm surprised she's still standing. Thankfully she has Rufi & Liliana and hopefully Natalia to support her.
Thanks, Julia, for a spot-on and funny recap. You're a trouper to do this for us twice in one week.

Julia, you are the best. Thank you so much for doing last night's episode.
I thought it was better than usual. Although I'm surprised at the change they've wrought in Camila. She's turned into an hysteric. I guess you could take the position that the warm, supportive Macarena helped keep her feet on the ground and now she's gone.
I've got my fingers and toes crossed that RoMEna can't wiggle out of what's shown in the avances; i.e. DNA tests, and soon. But surely that has to be a red herring. It's way too soon for the blonde schemer to be sidelined by the truth. Although occasionally in this novela things move quickly. Natalia was convinced almost immediately that Carloca was blowing smoke. Em appears to have some inkling of the truth scarcely a week after the pregnancy bombshell.
Can't quite figure out Carloca's photo shoots. The only thing I can think of is showing him visiting a former fiance and currently married woman - the two of them alone. Mateo is not happy about this either, but Juan/Cris already told him about it. They're getting pretty desperate to hang onto the priests they still have in the Church, so doubt they'd boot him for that. Or, could it be to disillusion Paloma about him? As I said, can't figure it out.
Orly is getting on my last nerve. His crackbrained advice to Em to marry a woman he doesn't love to be near the child (a rather obvious allusion to having lost contact with his own) is ridiculous. And he's tone deaf about Camila. As if screeching at her about Rafa is going to cause her to stop having feelings for him.
Does anyone have any idea what the episode number is on this now. Are we even half way?
I thought it was better than usual. Although I'm surprised at the change they've wrought in Camila. She's turned into an hysteric. I guess you could take the position that the warm, supportive Macarena helped keep her feet on the ground and now she's gone.

Ok last night episode was number 82. This novela will in March 2010. It's 171 episodes all together. Carloca either is going to use those photos to show Paloma that Cris is not acting priestly.
She may used them to get Cris thrown out of the priesthood. We all know she's a damn lunatic. Those aren't exactly damning photos though.

Carloca has no P.I. skills. She didn't even get a camera with a big zoom lens. Also, a priest going into someone's house isn't evidence of anything and obviously PJC isn't hiding the fact that he's talking to Nat. Whatever, Cruel.
Thanks for pointing out the day typo...I thought I was still totally alert when I got home last night and did the recap, but I guess not so much. Will try to fix it.

I still like Germy, even though he's quite awful. I think it's those dreamy dark eyes and lashes...yes, I may be that shallow, at least when it comes to TV characters. At least he isn't downright evil, just a screwup with weak ethics.
Orlando continues to bug me. I don't like his possessive yet dismissive attitude toward Camila, or his blind, stupid advice to Emiliano.

Thanks Julia for your dedication in writing a second recap for the week. It was great (as your work always is).
ITA with you regarding Orly. He's never been a good guy for Cami for me. As you said, he is too possessive and dismissive (such a cocktail for abuse) and Cami already had to live through Samuel. She should run.
And yes, I hope poor Pal does get that spine soon.

Boy, this show is never dull!
Thank you Julia for a really funny recap with a really clever title! You are the recap queen to do double duty, but it doesn’t seem to have worn out your sense of humor at all. Excellent: Mystress. Also excellent: flinging tears all over. And much, much more.
I just zeroed in on German’s eyelashes this episode. Dreamy!
Don Felipe – those cookies scared me too.
Yes, Inez did say she lived from her rent (ahem!) and that Angie better be able to pay on time. Angie coldly told her she could count on it, and left the table. Inez didn’t notice the freeze.
The Emiliano actor really perks up when he has to show anger. I thought he did well in his scene where he got to beat up German.
Seems like I might be in the minority opinion, being more sympathetic to Camila. Her guy friends are fighting, one wants to move in prematurely, her daughter has come up pregnant and before that had totally turned on her. I agree with her that Angie blew it by allowing Camila to spill her guts while not admitting that she (Angie) had a big-time crush on the guy Camila was telling her private stuff about. She was Camila’s one and only female ally, and we all know we need girlfriends – ones that we can trust completely.

I agree, Maggie. Camila has just had a really rough time and can't take it anymore.
Angelica, on the other hand, I think needs some reforming. She means well but makes one bad decision after another. Like telling Orlando she was into him...she knew he was seeing Cami, and also she had committed to working for him for a certain length of time during Vero's bed rest and maternity leave. Did she think through what would happen if he didn't return her feelings, and therefore decide to keep quiet until a more opportune time? No.

Wonderful Julia.
"It’s a perfect opportunity to club him over the head and drag him back to the cave", "German seeks advice from the village medicine man" and "of all the insanely stupid plot stallers" were great.
Things are moving at breakneck speed. Now that Emiliano has valid doubts, I don't see him backing down from insisting on a paternity test. It would be nice if the resutls weren't tampered with so we could move forward away from this story line.
It's amazing how Carlota can hear conversations a city block away.

So is Ines really charging Angelica enough rent that it's enough to not only keep the household running, but to pay her own living expenses as well? That seems exorbitant. Does she also charge her nephew Aaron rent?
