Mañana es Para Siempre, Gran Final Part 3: The body count rises.
So, here we are at the top of hour 2 of our actual 3-hour final. I'm so excited that we get a whole three hours of new information!
So, when last we left Eddie, he was riding down a bunch of stairs and away from his pursuers. Go, Eddie, go!
Back at Hacienda Elizalde, Esteve hands over Lili's inheritance papers to Fernanda. He tells her it's all there, complete with the registrations for Ciro's patents. Esteve explains that Eduardo was using this money to finance his extravagant lifestyle. The account is now in Fernanda's name, since Lili won't be able to handle it on her own. Esteve tells them Eddie is off getting Obregon to agree to testify against Barbara. Fer says they're going to turn Barbie in to the cops today. Fer asks Esteve for a favor, to give the silver heart to Eduardo and tell him it's his. Esteve says he will as soon as he sees him. Santiago walks Esteve to the door.
Fer calls Eduardo on his cell and begs him to answer, but Eduardo is busy riding through the countryside on his trusty steed, er, dirt bike.
Evil Barbie, in a smokin' hot red dress and smoking like a chimney, discusses with Artie that they've got to get their spawn back. The plan is for Barbie to get Aurora to the lake, where Artemio's helicopter will be waiting for them to take them to the border. In a few days, they'll be off in some foreign country. He can't have his grandchild growing up with the Elizaldes. Artemio won't promise not to take Aurora and the baby away from Barbie, either, since she's been such a terrible mother. Well that's a little like the terrible parent calling the other parent a terrible parent. Artemio gets a call and instructs the person on the phone to let him/her in. Then he tells Barbie they're in luck. Aurora walks in and everyone is impactada (including me!).
Eduardo rides up to Las Animas and does some fancy dismounting (the East German judge still gives him an 8, though). He tosses his gloves around and takes off his motorcycle jacket (to reveal yet another preppy sweater--please, Fer, marry this man and burn all his preppy sweaters). Borja comes out from behind the bushes, calls to him, and after politely explaining that he has his orders, shoots him once in the chest, once in the back, and then about another 3 in the chest (2 of them after he's already on the ground). Eddie lies on the ground bleeding as Borja walks away. Idiot. You always check the body. Hasn't Bravo taught his henchmen anything?
Jacinto and Esteve scream about Eduardo having been shot. They send Venus into the house to call an ambulance. Eddie tells them to take him far away to die. He mumbles that his last wish is that Fer doesn't find out. He doesn't want her to suffer. "Tell her that I already left." Then he shuts his eyes as Jacinto and Esteve cry.
Aurora tells her parents she had a feeling she would find them there. She wants to talk to her mommy and daddy. She says despite everything, she's happy they're not dead, even though she never imagined she'd see them. Then she starts screaming at them…"Why did you even have me?" Barbie says it was her choice. Aurora was her greatest hope after having lost everything. "You mean, after burning your parents to death!" Aurora says, "you said that was an accident." But Barbie defends herself, saying she burned down the house with her parents inside. She was only twelve and it was the only way she could think of to free herself from their abuses and punishments. She talks about how they used to drink a lot and that the only reason she didn't have scars was because while her father would torture her, her mother would constantly remind her father not to scar her. They had plans to sell her off later. That's why she burned the house down with them inside. The only thing she's sorry for, though is hooking up with Artie. She brings up that it was Artie who took Aurora away from her. Artie says Aurora's life would have sucked with Barbie for a mom. Aurora then talks about her lovely life with Dominga. Artie and Barbie both look pretty sad and guilty.
Fer tells Santi she's given the cops Artie's address. Santi tells Fer he can't find Aurora. He's sure Barbie has her and he wants to go looking for her. Fer tries to call Eduardo, so Santi doesn't go alone. She ends up leaving him a message asking him to call ASAP.
Aurora reminds Barbie about how she treated her when she first got to the hacienda. She brings up having Camilo rape her. Artie takes offense, but she calls Artie on having no right to be upset since Dominga intended to sell her off. "Who gave you the right to go around killing innocent people like Montserrat Elizalde?" Barbie's defense is that Artie made her do it. Aurora is terrified to be their daughter. Barbie tries to pull an "I'm your mother and you owe me your life!" But Aurora says she can't be the daughter of a pair of murderers. She wonders what she's supposed to tell her kid about its grandparents. She hopes she can get rid of their whole cursed inheritance. Artie reminds her the grandchild has his blood. Aurora says it's not blood she's worried about, but soul, and at least the baby has his/her own. Aurora leaves, telling them to leave her alone. Barbie tries to stop her, then appeals to Artemio to do something, but he says they have no right to keep her. He calls downstairs and gives instructions to "let the young lady go." Once he hangs up, Barbie whips out a guy with a silencer and pops him one right in the middle of his forehead. Artie drops to his chair and his head hits the desk. Barbie tells him to rot in hell and then takes a seat. Yep, just like that.
Eduardo is being wheeled into the hospital.
Fer is praying to the Virgencita, wondering why Eduardo isn't returning her calls, especially now that he's gotten the necklace back.
Eddie is in surgery.
Fer tells the Virgen that she doesn't hate Eddie and she needs to tell him that she doesn't hate him, she's just afraid of what will happen, since she knows Artemio won't quit until Eddie's dead. Fer would rather him be far away than dead like her mother.
More surgery, a rib spreader, one extracted bullet, some stitches, machines beep.
Fer wonders why she has the feeling she's not going to see Eduardo again.
Aurora comes back to the hacienda. Out on the lawn, she runs into Santi and she tells him her name is Aurora and that's all she wants to know about her past, but she has a question about her future. Is there room for her in the Elizalde family and in his heart? He says there's been room for her in the family since the beginning and there is only room in his heart for her. He'll love her forever. They hug. And kiss.
The cops have come to collect Artie. His body is lying on a stretcher in front of Barbie as Barbie still sits in the same chair. Comandante Lozoya asks Barbie if she found the body. She says she did, and she heard the shot too. "And where were you at that moment?"
"In front of him."
"You were in front of him?"
"Yes."
"So you're saying it was suicide, then?"
She uncovers his face and looks at it. "No. I killed him." She looks down at his face and looks completely blank.
At the hospital, Anibal tells Pris he went to Damian's funeral. He wanted to make sure Damian was really dead. Now no one can blackmail them anymore and their kid, rather than Santi's, is the one who will be the heir. Pris tells him he's going to get lost in his ambition. He tells her he finds her comments irritating.
In another waiting room, Padre Bosco asks what the doctors have to say. Esteve says they have to reconstruct some organs, it's complicated, and there are few possibilities he will live. Padre B, Jacinto, Esteve, and Venus all cry. Esteve says they're going to fly him to Houston. That's they're only hope to save his life.
Fer gets off the phone and, shocked, tells Aurora and Santi that Barbie has been detained for killing Artemio. Aurora loses her balance briefly.
They take Esteve off an ambulance at an airplane hangar. Padre Bosco gives Eduardo a blessing, then they load Eduardo into the plane. Jacinto also stops them to remind Eduardo that the Lone Ranger can't die. Esteve asks Padre Bosco to pray because he's sure only the Padre's prayers will save Eduardo now. Before he can get into the plane with Venus and Eduardo, Esteve gets a call from Fer. She's sitting in the hospital waiting room. She asks him about Eddie, but he says he can't really answer her because Ed already got on a plane for the US. Fer thanks him and hangs up. Fer starts to cry over Eduardo leaving without saying goodbye. Santi and Aurora console her.
Padre Bosco and Jacinto cry as the plane takes off.
And thus endeth my part of this recap. Y'all have been a fabulous audience. Hope you enjoy the rest of the show and I also hope you'll be joining us for Sortilegio. Hasta mañana!
So, when last we left Eddie, he was riding down a bunch of stairs and away from his pursuers. Go, Eddie, go!
Back at Hacienda Elizalde, Esteve hands over Lili's inheritance papers to Fernanda. He tells her it's all there, complete with the registrations for Ciro's patents.

Wow. I was surprised that Babs turned herself in. I know she had no chance of getting away, but I really thought she would try. I guess she didn't have any reason to, though.
In a boring episode long ago, Aurora told Santi about a dream (or was it a picture she had drawn) from her childhood of her standing between her parents, holding hands. So sad that her one and only meeting with both her parents had to be that way, but at least now she knows she wasn't missing anything.

Kat - great recap once again! I have enjoyed reading you since ADCLG and love your snarky comments. Thank you for all you have given us MEPSeros here. Please say "hola" to Mr. 5ft Latina. ;o)
Franco survives five bullets!! He was definitely wearing his telenovela beanie hat. And the hit man still couldn’t hit FrEd’s heart at close range.
I loved it when Aurora went off on Babs & Arte, dissed them both and left. She finally found a spine!
Totally enjoyed seeing Barb shoot Arte in the forehead. Easy way out for him but there it is. Lucero was great in this scene. You could see "Babs" shut down, all with her facial expression. Her daughter rejected her and she was emotionally dead at that moment. Great acting, IMO.
I noticed Ed's oxygen mask wasn't really down on his face. I loved that music they played when his plane took off for the U.S. Sounds like the music from the early chapters in DESTINOS.

Great 5ft, you guys are fantastic.
The goons shot Ed everywhere but the head & the heart????? But that Babs doesn't miss, right between the ojos.
Wouldn't you think that they would know by now not to leave Aurora alone?
It was a 3 hr novela, but an hour worth of commercials. They knew they had us.

Gracias, gracias!
I have to brag on Mr. 5ft...he missed the part where Esteve was talking about the plane to Houston and, so when he saw the plane he was confused and asked where they were taking Eddie. I said "Where do you take people in Telenovelaland when they have some unsolvable medical problem and no one else can solve it?" He got it right away.

Thanks Melinama, Julie, and Kat for the recaps so far. What great action and some hilarious bonus stuff.
Loved Damian's deathbed with his mama crying over him. I cried a little, too.
The almost catfight between Barb and Fer! Only prevented by Eduardo keeping them separated. Also liked the snotty exchange between Barb and Eduardo about playing gentleman and lady.
Cried when Gonzo apologized to Ed and said he had inherited his mother's noble soul.
Howled with laughter at Dr. Obregon as can-can artiste. And at Ed's Power Ranger jacket. The bike chase was great, too and seemed fun for our galan.
Aurora's tirade against her loving parents was well done. Showed some growth in character, as well.
Barb just doesn't give up, does she? Head butting the guard, and then later knocking her out.
Gruesome/graphic rating for Ed's surgery, Barb's self-immolation, and her scars afterward.
So, Vlad came to claim his bebe, but did Pris stay by his side? I guess we'll never know, just as we'll never know how Ed and Fer got down from the hot air balloon. The FE motto was a nice touch.

I'm so glad that Aurora got a chance to tell Mommy and Daddy Dearest off. It was kind of funny how the two of them kept pointing the finger of blame at each other. You know what they say about pointing..three fingers pointing back a you.
I also thought what Aurora said about the soul (its own character and choices) of the baby being more important than the blood it carries (it parents/granparents' mistakes and sins). I thought it summed up a lot about what this whole novela was about.

Kat, thanks for another fantastic recap! I started reading it and soon said to myself, I bet this is Kat's, and when I got to the bit about the German judge only giving an 8, I knew I was right. I love your snarky humor.
I too was impactada when Aurora appeared at Artemio's, and again when Eduardo was shot so many times. I could imagine him surviving one bullet, but I had to tighten my beanie when they got to the fifth.
Again, muchísimas gracias for all your terrific recaps.

Thank you Kat for your excellent recap. I also love your sense of humor.
So, Aurora gave Barbie and Artie the awards for worst absentee parents of the century.
Loved how Barbie turned into Barbot as she admitted to the police that she shot Artie. Did you notice that the gun that she used was the one Artie gave her at the beginning of this novela - his instructions were to use it to kill Gonzo.
I was so on the edge of my seat when I saw Eduardo get shot five times and left laying on the ground. Very interesting how Eduardo's surgery scenes looked more like a set from "ER" than a usual telenovela set (i.e. Gonzo's ICU and hospital rooms).

Ditto for your East German low score quip. You are so clever, Kat. Thought you had the richest section of the finale. Lots of pathos.
I loved the confrontation scene between Aurora and her parents. Loved the bravery of this once timid little mouse and the elegance of her declaration that her child would have Artemio's blood but not his soul (or heart).
Don't throw rocks, but I felt sorry for both Barbara and Artemio in this scene. They both came up against their own cruelty and failings...as parents and as human beings in general. His final cruelty in letting Aurora go and then grinning at Barbara broke my heart.
As awful as she is...she IS a mother who was deprived of her child. And the man who deprived her was rubbing it in one more time.
Wept a lot in this one...for Damian and yes, for Artemio and Barbara too. What can I say...I'm a total softie.

Kat, Kat, Kat...love your wit, amiga! Echoing earlier comments on the German judge line which was just too funny!! (cracking up here @ work while everyone else looks grumpy. HA!)
Terrible Parents Anonymous certainly has a large group these days. Had to feel sorry for Sniffles, knowing her parents were the epitomy of evil & all she had dreamed of was reuniting with them.
Babs popping Artie caught me by surprise. Pow! It came so quickly I didn't see it coming. Neither did he, apparently.
I totally missed the fact that Nanda didn't realize Eddie had been shot a gazillion times but was still alive & in need of a little intestinal reconstruction. Also didn't know that Houston was the default TN location for emergency medical situations. Tell Mr. 5ft I'll remember that!
On to the next recap...thanks, Kat!

I thought Babs gave the guard a head-butt, too, but upon rewind I believe she spit on her. (or is that 'spat'?)
Mrs. 5ft.. You are the best! I still want you to work at my office, you'd have all of us laughing!
My two favorite lines are: Eduardo riding through the countryside on his trusty steed, er, dirt bike, and then your quip about the East German judges!
Who would have thought that Aurora would have been the one to have grown the most in the program and be in a way the only one to come from the bottom of life to rise to the top of life with husband and baby. (If you consider a husband to be a asset. ha ha !!!)
I haven't been a fan of Lucero's acting, too over the top for me, but her scene killing Artie and then her deathlike expressions in the aftermath were really good. Glad Lucero is leaving the show on a high note artistically.

Kat: My timing was off by a couple minutes, so sorry to have doubled on your last scenes there. LOL! the German judge scoring Ed's performance and "please burn those preppy sweaters"--just classic Kat.
Thanks, 5 ft! Your style is my fave with its detail and wit, but especially for the vocab and help with slang and euphamisms. I was thinking of skipping Sortelegio, but not with you recapping!
This was a teary episode for me. Gonzo, Barbie, and Damian all provoked my horror and sympathy at the same time. Great acting!

Love it Kat! You are awesome. Gross on the surgery scene. Too graphic for me but realistic. I was totally exhausted after watching for 3 hours. So much info to digest. I told my daughter the show was on for 3 hours and the groaned loudly. I just laughed.
Great recap Kat and you got an action packed part to recap. What surprised me most was how early they essentially wrapped up Art and Barb. They were taken care of with half the night still to go.
Not totally surprised with Barb taking out Artemio, but I never expected all of those shots into Ed. I guess Art must have wanted Ed to suffer awhile before he died? Borja(?) should have taken lessons from Barb and put the last one between the eyes. I'm sure the East German judge would have deducted points for that as well.
I was wondering how the cops got to Art's so quickly. Now I see Fer and sent them there.
Great recap, great final.
Not totally surprised with Barb taking out Artemio, but I never expected all of those shots into Ed. I guess Art must have wanted Ed to suffer awhile before he died? Borja(?) should have taken lessons from Barb and put the last one between the eyes. I'm sure the East German judge would have deducted points for that as well.

Kat, you are amazing. I'm so glad we had a chance to enjoy your full-contact sense of humor and dexterity with both languages these las few weeks. I'm looking forward to more Kat in the coming weeks.

Thanks, Kat, great work as always. I definitely enjoyed the scene with Aurora and her Mum and Pop. She really told it like it was. FINALLY, she confronts AB about what a great life she had with Dominga! I was beginning to think no one would ever call him on that. Of course we knew FC wasn't going to die, but Borja sure shot him up pretty good.

Super funny, Kat, great recap. I also thought it was dumb of the bad guy not to shoot Ed in the face (but very convenient for our story).
Now that Ed gave away all the money from Lili, and I think he spent most of his at the start of the show, he really doesn't have any money, or a job. Why should Fernanda marry this gigolo? (Just kidding).
I also wonder what ever happened to Barbara's money offshore.
Santi and Aurora don't have jobs, either. I wonder if Aurora inherited Artemio's money?
Anyway, thanks again, Kat, for all your terrific recaps.

Thanks, 5 ft/Kat for your always LOL recaps and I look forward to themfor Sortilegio.
I think Artemio's death was too fast and painless for him. Really, when my time comes it would be nice to be gone in one second and not linger.

Thanks, 5ft. You always give me some giggles. Watching Ed get riddled with bullets was shocking and upsetting. And now we know why Barbie was always hauling around a big purse...She had her gun plus silencer in there. Wow, I was hoping Art would die by Barb's hand , but I was surprised at how fast it actually happened...so was Art. As for the meeting between Art, Barbie, and Spawn, I kept thinking about ''Jon and Kate Plus Eight Minus Jon .'' I guess next to Art and Barbie, Jon and Kate don't look quite as awful, but...it's a close call. Anyhoo, thianks for the smiles. I'm sure the German judge would give you a 10. [I'm half German , and I'd definitely give you an 11.]

Thank you, Kat, for all your superlative recaps. I learned and laughed all the way through them. Can't wait to read you some more in Sortilegio (which attracts me only because of Carla Estrada,if truth be told). But knowing you'll be there gives me something to really look forward to.
Oh man, SUPER Beanie time man...I was like oh come on don't have the guy shoot him AGAIN, and not AGAIN - we know you ain't gonna kill him, why you gotta go and make it unbelievable too!!!! Argh....I tell ya that Fer Colunga, he is supernatural!
I didn't hang out over here much but did follow off and on the show so thanks for the recaps as they did help me piece things together and they were downright hysterical to boot, of course!!

Kat thank you so much for your witty and detailed recaps, I couldn't have lasted this entire Novela without you!
Also thank you to all the regulars who always made me feel comfortable voicing my opinion, answered my questions and noticed the fun quirky errors along the way, you are the best!
There were more costume changes during the last 4 episodes than the entire 8 months it was on.
Hombre de M :
I like your thinking...YES poor little Aurora gets all of Barbara AND Artemio's money! LUCKY!

5ft Latina (Kat) thank you so much for your unique way of recapping. You always make everything much more fun than it was. I'll miss your recaps as I won't be on board with Sortilegio.
