Episode 134

We start off where yesterday's ended, RoMEna begs and plead with Emiliano to give her a chance. They would make a good family her,him and the baby.Emiliano looks very uncomfortable and tells her once again he does not love her.

Emiliano knows he made a mistake in kissing crazy obsessed RoMEna after Paloma told him she was moving on.

RoMEna then tries to guilt Emiliano about discovering what a true low life her own father is trip. She then thanks him for the kiss and leaves she then sashays from the office.

She lets Angelica know she is not happy with her ruining her opportunity with Emiliano and their kiss.Angelica looks after her as she leaves with a look that says what the heck is wrong now with this girl.

Emiliano and Orlando walk into the court together and see Rufi standing by herself.Emiliano after saying hi is where is Paloma.

Rufi says i don't know where she is,just then we hear Paloma chuckling and she walks in with Gabriel by her side.Orlando points this out to Emiliano who is not happy to see them happy together like that.

Paloma looks over and stops smiling,German comes out of the courtroom asking to speak to Paloma alone.

Everyone else goes into the courtroom with the exception of German and Paloma.German then makes a stupid remark about why someone as pretty as she is with Gabriel.

By the look Paloma gave German she did not appreciate this remark at all.He quickly covers up and tells her that PJC would like to talk to her alone.

Paloma does not want to see Cris and German ask are you sure you don't want to see him. Paloma says yes she does want to see him to talk to him about the truth.

Camila is walking down the street with packages and runs into Rafael, who ask how she is doing.He tells her how beautiful she looks and Camila thanks him.

She's telling how she just went shopping for the baby, they stare at each other still with love. Camila ask about his company and he tells her about the plans to export his ceramics.

Rafael tells her how Luz made it possible for him and how good she is for him, he then ask and you what about your wedding.Camila says good, good and talks about how more days it is before the wedding happens.

Rafael mentions that it sounds like she is trying to convince him she is happy. Then he ask why does it seem that you are sad Camila.
 

Camila tells Rafael no i'm not sad about the wedding it's about RoMEna finally finding out about her father.They then look at each other for a few seconds and Rafael says ok i like that everything is going good for you Camila.

Camila then tells Rafael about how Diana is now seeing Samuel, Rafael is surprise and make sure they are talking about the same Diana his wife he ask. Yes says Camila, your only wife.

Camila looks at while he's absorbing this news and tells him she has to go and hopes he's very happy.She walks away from and he turns and watches her leave.

Back to the courtroom the judge is presiding over the case against PJC and Natalia for death of her husband Alonso.

He ask German to start his defense, German calls Natalia to the witness stand Cris looks at her as she takes the stand.

We see Cris mother sitting in the back, Cris slowly turns his head and sees her and he's not happy.Meanwhile Natalia is being sworn in, and swears to tell the truth.

German first question to Natalia is why she didn't marry Cris when they were supposed to.She talks about the church and her daughter Sagario.

Natalia is looking at Cris as she says this and Paloma looks over at Cris herself, some of the crowd in the courtroom is getting restless and the judge ask for quiet.

Natalia tells how it wasn't meant for them to be together and Cris was not with the church.German then brings up that Cris visited her at her house.

Natalia confirms this yes, Eugenio is standing in the far background in the corner watching the proceedings.

German then says no more questions judge thank you.Natalia looks over at Cris while the judge calls the prosecutor for his turn.Prosecutor is looking at some papers seriously and does not hear the judge.

The judge calls the prosecutor once again and the prosecutor ask Natalia what is her association with Cris.

Natalia tells everyone how important the part Cris has played in her life.I want you to know with respect for my husband. Judge quiets the crowd again.

Prosecutor wants to know something why did Cris visit her in her house alone.Natalia tells how she and Cris are only amigos, then tell us what the secret is senora ask the prosecutor.

Why the prosecutor ask tell the public the reason why, why says Natalia for the investigation, what investigation what says the prosecutor dramatically.

Natalia says the investigation was for Paloma, Paloma is sitting there like what Gabriel glances at her and Natalia has a look on her face that she is sorry.

The camera catches the reaction from everyone German does not look to good.Eugenio looks thoughtful in as he looks on.

Carloca is pouring favorite beverage grape wine to keep her continuously purple.She wonders aloud to herself about what is happening at the courthouse.What she says and glares.
 

German jumps up in protest and objects to this line of questioning the judge over rules him and says.At this moment it is important to hear what Natalia has to say.

Judge tells the prosecutor to continue and he ask Natalia to explain why they were investigating for Paloma.She tells the audience about Inaki and how he was going to marry Paloma but he died before the wedding.

Then talks about her friend Sagario who died when she came to wedding to marry Cris. Natalia tells how Inaki suspected Carloca and the inheritance she was suppose to receive from Sagario and Javier.

The Prosec. ask so it was her and Cris, no says Natalia she then name the members of team Paloma. Dr.B and Rufi who is uncomfortable hearing her name and Alonso.

Alonso thought and accepted with resignation the death of his son Inaki with help from Paloma.Natalia then says but Alonso thought Carloca had something to do with the death of his son.

This send some people in the courtroom into a uproar especially gossip guy. Can we borrow Dr.Demented from Sorti for a few minutes to help calm this guy down like he did Useless.

Judge angrily pounds his gavel demanding silence, the prosec. stands there surprised by this revelation.The Prosec. then ask the judge for justice sake.

That Carloca be called in for questioning, Paloma jumps up in shock. Cris stands up because i guess director told him to.

German who was so full of himself now realizes things are not going according to his instructions from Carloca.He goes to the judge to tell him something. The judge tell him please and once again demands quiet from everyone.

The judge agrees with the Prosec. and will have Carloca bought in for the trial tomorrow.The Prosec. thanks the judge.

German sits for a moment in shock and stands up when the judge thinking about what has happen.The judge and Eugenio greet each other warmly and hug as German watches this.

Paloma comes out sniveling my aunt but why and how could they think that of her.Gabriel tries to console her and tells right now it means absolutely nothing.

Paloma brings up why are they investigating then how could they suspect she killed Inaki.Emiliano stands in the background looking on and over hearing everything.

I don't understand how could they suspect something like that about Inaki cries Paloma. Gabriel says i know you have doubts. Paloma says she shouldn't be surprised.

Gabriel then ask her what happen do you suspect your aunt may have killed Inaki? Paloma quickly say no but a flashback reminds her of RoMEna and that she suspected at the time Carloca and says RoMEna yes.

RoMEna tells Paloma when they were eating candy that Carloca probably killed Inaki. RoMEna says your aunt is a witch why did she so suddenly become nice to Inaki.

Paloma ask RoMEna is she crazy to think that's what happen, how could she think that her aunt would do something like that.RoMEna stresses how her aunt is a total witch.
 

Paloma comes back to the present from this remember conversation and is really upset.Gabriel ask what happen do you suspect something.Paloma says i don't know.

Emiliano is still in the background watching them, Paloma then tells Gabriel it's best he left her alone to think.Paloma is trying to hold back her tears from her thoughts.

Camila is giving a pep talk to RoMEna outside of the baby nursery.RoMEna does not look moved by these words.They both go in and RoMEna sees her son up close for the first time.

The nurse gives RoMEna her son to hold and she seems to be over come with emotion.She cries while holding him in her arms for the first time.

She tells Camila how small he is, Camila says yes but he is precious, the nurse tells them how incredible his reaction is to his father.The nurse says his father comes everyday.

How he had the musician play music for him and the other babies and girl friend who comes too. What girlfriend what is her name demands RoMEna.The nurse says Paloma.

RoMEna is now in disbelief and steaming with her jealousy.

Emiliano comes up to Gabriel and Paloma and ask to speak to her for a moment, Paloma says yes, Gabriel leaves them alone.

RoMEna gives her son to Camila and ask the nurse why she permitted Paloma in to see her baby.The nurse worriedly tells her your husband said it was ok.She tells RoMEna how the baby responded to the attention he was given.

The nurse thought it was marvelous for him, Camila ask RoMEna to please be calm and that Paloma only did it for the baby to give him attention.RoMEna can't believe how her own mother is defending Paloma.

The nurse says the truth is they were both good for all of the babies here and with the music and everything. RoMEna starts crying from her jealousy.

Emiliano talks to Paloma about Inaki and Paloma wonders why he never told her anything. Why no one has never told her nothing.

Emiliano goofily smiles and tells her the baby is doing well that what the doctor told him and he thanks her very much.

Emiliano rudely ask Paloma if she is in love with her instructor Gabriel. Gabriel is in the background looking on.

Paloma tells him i am trying to think about not being with you and Gabriel overhears this and smiles.

Luz is in Rafael office showing him the drawing of the little girl Gabriel made, several made a lot of copies and wants to find her.
 

Rafael tells Luz it will be very difficult to locate this little girl in this big town.Rafael secretary comes in with refreshments for them, Luz then tells her about the little girl in the picture.

Cynthia says she knows the little girl,tell how she has seen her many times in the street. Calls her by her name Luz excitedly says yes that's her name.

She talks about her and the other kids are victims of jerks from being left alone in the streets, Luz can't believe this. Luz then pleads with Rafael to help her please to locate her.

Angelica friend comes to the office with her suitcase, they greet each other.Angelica ask Miriam what she is doing here.

Miriam tells Angelica she wants to Dario to face the consequences from his actions.Angelica is happy to have someone help bring down Dario.

Back to the court room Padre Benito is on the stand being questioned by German he ask PB about Cris and his opinion about Cris.Padre B tells everyone how Cris was as a priest and how he helped people to overcome their drug or alcohol addictions, because of him.

Cris's mother smiles at hearing this and looks on proudly toward her son.German tells the jury how dignified Cris is and how could anyone like him be accused of murder.Padre B is agreeing with what German is saying about Cris.

Several cheer for Cris in the audience, this of course agitates gossip guy and his wife.German says no further question judge.
The then calls up the Prosec.

The prosec. ask Padre B in what condition did he first meet Cris. Padre B has a flashback to when he found Cris drunk and laid out on the sidewalk.As he remembers this we see Cris face in one corner and the people who are in Cris world faces pass on the screen, with Padre B face on the other corner.

We see Padre B encouraging Cris to recover and leave the alcohol alone and to try. The Prosec. says it's deplorable how they met and under those conditions this is craziness.

gosspi and his wife are very upset while the judge demands silence.The prosec. ask Padre B does he know why PJC is in jail with Senora Natalia.

Did he think he was at fault for the death of Macarena, Padre B calmly says yes, Cris reaches over and holds Natalia's hand.

Could you talk about this please say the Prosec. to Padre B who says no. The judge ask for silence for the millionth time then turns to ask Padre B why he can't talk about it.

Padre B explains what was said to him was in confidence during a crisis and is a secret confession.The Prosec. makes fun of this answer, saying how convenient it is to use this from telling the truth.

Padre B responds the only one who can tell it is Cris and he will not break his vow to keep someone's confessions a secret.

Eugenio visits the Purple Beast in her lair, they exchange greetings still in the doorway. He ask finally is she going to let him in.
 

Carloca says well and smiles like what is it,Eugenio ask her do you remember me Carloca responds yes.

Eugenio pauses for a moment and says ok i want you to be calm while we talk about your niece.Carloca tells him that her niece isn't here.Eugenio tells her he knows. Carloca says flippantly say it already.

Eugenio pulls out a picture it looks like and gives it to Carloca telling her he is starting a investigation. She looks at while Eugenio studies her reaction.

Carloca nervously ask is there something else he wants, Eugenio says no i just wanted to see your expression. Carloca looks like she is having a hard time swallowing right now.

Eugenio then wishes her a good afternoon and leans over and gallantly kisses her hand.They stare at one another while he does this, He then leaves.Carloca then smiles her Purple Grinch smile thinking she has conquered another male into falling in love with her.


Rafael and Luz are still in his office looking at the picture of the little girl she wants to find and help. There's a knock on the door.

Joel comes in carrying Monica's son telling them both he be his future son and Monica will be his future wife.Luz tries to interact with the child.

Joel tells them how in love he is with him and he takes off to his office, leaving Luz and Rafael.

Cris is drinking a bottle of water with his handcuffs on when German comes in. Cris ask where is Paloma did you tell her i want to talk to her.

German says yes, Cris ask what did she say, German says he couldn't convince her to come. Why ask Cris,German says right now truthfully she doesn't want to talk to you.

Cris is sad upon hearing this he drinks some more water to swallow.

Paloma is thanking Gabriel for being with her and for the fun she had on the motor bikes.After talking some more she leans over and kisses Gabriel on his cheek.

Gabriel is definitely smitten and can't stop staring and smiling at her, they say goodnight to each other and she all so slowly closes the door.

Paloma walks into the gloomy living room, when she is verbal attack by Carloca demanding to know what explanation can she give her for the visitor she received.

Paloma tells her she sorry she doesn't know what to say to her.
 

The phone rings in the background and Rufi answers it,while Carloca demands answers to her question.They are interrupted by Rufi telling Carloca she has a phone call.

Rufi tells her it's German and he says it very important, Carloca takes the phone with a big sigh.

What is it ask Carloca have some news to tell you he says. Rufi and Paloma are still standing there.German then tells that she is supposed to show up tomorrow in court, Carloca is like what.

RoMEna is laying on the couch when Emiliano comes home, he ask her how she is doing she says fine.

She then tells him she is tired from visiting the baby, Emiliano is surprised by this and ask you really did visit the baby?

RoMEna says yes and she went with her mother and she plans on going everyday and says what a fool she was not to be there for her baby but now she will always be near it.

She ask Emiliano to come close and tells him she wants to view together their baby.She the ask him tomorrow that she and him go see the baby together.

She wants to go in the afternoon with him Emiliano says the afternoon yes says RoMEna. Emiliano looks her not knowing again he is being manipulated by her.

Carloca barks into the phone how could they ask her to come to court.Carloca then says these men are crazy how could they think i killed their son.

German tells her it's the judges orders, Carloca tells him no she's not going and you're my lawyer get me out of this.German tells her sorry she can't depend on him to do that for her.

This is an exceptional condition and there is no way he can get her out of it, he she does follow the judges orders it will be very bad for her.

Mean while Rufi and Paloma are still standing there witnessing her reaction.German tells her tomorrow she has to come to court whether she likes it or not good night he says.

Carloca hangs up and turns around and glares at Rufi and Paloma both while they look back not knowing what to say or do because purple steam is coming out of Carloca's ears.

Inez is having a salad with Diana who is telling her about her plans with Samuel.
 

She tells her how she plans to sell her house and Diana says yes why.Inez warns her to really think about what she is doing.

Diana tells her Samuel will give her the money back in two months, inez ask her again to please think about this decision to help Samuel out.

She ask Inez if she can stay with her but Inez says she her husband Juancho doesn't want no clandestine romance going in her house with samuel.

Diana says she will be leaving very soon to get married with Samuel.Inez thinks she is inventing another story but Diana insist that it is true.

Diana says it my house and i can do what ever i want with it sell it or not sell it.

Carloca ask Rufi and Paloma if they knew about her being called to court,Rufi says yes but it was made public.

Carloca can't believe how incredible this is, Paloma chimes in asking her you really don't know anything about Inaki's death right. Of course no responds Carloca.

Rufi then innocently ask her is there anything else she will need for tonight. Carloca rudely says no she's not even hungry and walks away mad.

Rufi then turns to Paloma and ask her is there anything she can get for her, Paloma still upset with Rufi keeping things from tells her no.

Rufi ask her again are you hungry or is it you don't want to be with me, Paloma says yes she doesn't want to be with her.

Rufi pleads for Paloma to believe in her the secrets that she knows she can't respond to them right now, and what about the investigation.

Rufi says we needed to get proof before we told you, Paloma still unhappy tells her she is no longer a little girl it does not like when things are kept from her.

Rufi pleads with her to forgive her and the reason she didn't tell is not because she didn't trust her. She thought it was practical to do it this way.

Paloma seems to buy this lie, because Rufi ask once again for Paloma's forgiveness.Paloma no coherent thought rolling around in her brain forgives her.

Mean while Carloca says to herself how could the judge request her to show up tomorrow he suppose to go after Cris not her.

She calls Alonso maldito and then smiles to herself how she killed him and Inaki.We then see a flashback to how she poisoned Inaki and then see her pushing Alonso into the street to be hit by the truck.
 

Wow, that was fast! GREAT recap!

I am newer, so someone, please catch me up.

Since I have watched a bunch of stuff to learn what happened in the many episodes I missed, and especially, who does the music which I really like, I've seen some YouTube ...especially music applied to scenes, and I have NO idea if they have been viewed yet here in the U.S. and do NOT want to be a spoiler..

After Cristobal discovered he had been lied to and Macarena was alive, how far did their relationship go before she died? Was there ever a time when he gave up the priesthood to marry her? Can you point me to old posts during this period?

Thanks. I LOVE ENDA and my Spanish is SO IMPROVING after all these many years.

I LOVE CARAY, CARAY!

Wow, that was fast! GREAT recap!

I am newer, so someone, please clarify this one point.

Since I have watched a bunch of stuff to learn what happened in the many episodes I missed, and especially, who does the music which I really like, I've seen some YouTube ...especially music applied to scenes, and I have NO idea if they have been aired yet here in the U.S. and do NOT want to be a spoiler..

Back when, after Cristobal discovered he had been lied to and Macarena was alive, how far did their relationship go before she died? Was there ever a time when he gave up the priesthood to marry her? Can you point me to dates of old posts during this period?

Thanks. I LOVE ENDA and my Spanish is SO IMPROVING after all these many years (45).

I LOVE CARAY, CARAY!

TM
 

Sorry, any way to delete a duplicate post? I am new.

TM
 

I love ENDA... except I am very angry at the recording because the "background music" is so LOUD that I cannot hear the conversation. I thought it was my TV but I noticed that all the TVs have loud music and the voices are soft. How could this happen?
 

Eugenio tells Gabriel how he can't read Carloca at all, Gabriel says i don't understand.Eugenio tells Gabriel there's a lot of conflict with Carloca in her life.

Gabriel tells his father how very strict and painful she is and not sensible at all, Eugenio says there is some kind of mystery surrounding Carloca.

Gabriel ask about Paloma or PJC and Eugenio responds both of them.He says there is some kind of intrigue with this woman.

Gabriel warns his father to be very careful with Carloca she is very bad.Eugenio laughs this off. Gabriel tells him they think she has killed off Paloma's ex novio Inaki.

Eugenio assures his son not to worry about him, to calm down he has dealt with a lot of devils.


Carloca the female she devil is giving German the riot act and ask him how is it possible that she is being called to come onto court during the situation.

German tries to butter up her first by telling her how beautiful she looks,wrong answer German by the look the she devil is giving him.

He then tells her how Natalia bought how Alonso suspected her of killing his son, German ask thats not possible right.

Carloca ask what he is thinking she killed not she trying to provoke me by saying this. She will spend the rest of her life in jail rants Carloca.This is not my fault but hers.

German tells her it's not possible not to worry the law thinks they did it meaning Cris and Natalia.Who would believe them over you and tells her how much morals she has.

What a fine and upstanding mass murderer oops citizen she is, this seems to placate Carloca.What else is there ask Carloca did anyone else accuse me of his death.

German says no only Alonso that's all but there is something else though, Carloca ask what they were investigating about Paloma this news stuns Carloca silent.


Previews for Monday we see Carloca coming into the court room.

But she doesn't want to think of foolish things then ask Monica is this normal. Monica tells her no when you have another man you can be with.

Camila tells she wants Orlando she really wants very much but it sounds like Camila is is trying to convince herself not Monica.

Eugenio says he mention to the judge how curious he is about Carloca.
 

I am sorry the last two post are out of order i accident hit the wrong first.

Post comment at 1:34 should be read before the post i made at 1:33

Once again thank you and enjoy.

Starting for next week ENDA new time slot will be at 7:00pm, replacing Gancho.This news maybe distressing for those who don't know and inconvenient also.

There will be a new novela starting at 8:00 called Hasta Que El Dinero Nos Separe.

To my ENDA and SORTI recappers, watchers and lovers who also like and follow Gancho i am sorry that Univision took this avenue to replace and move your novela to the afternoon.

I have been thinking long and hard would would be the motivating factor to make this move.

Since they still have to put two new novelas in these time slot in the coming months. One to replace Sorti for next month, one to replace ENDA in March.

The only conclusion i came to is they may put Corazon Salvage in the Sorti time zone anyway.Despite as some have talked about here and on the Sorti page it getting very poor ratings in Mexico.
 

I have to believe from Jarocha who has said how bad the show is and how many people are making fun of it. Univision is putting the Hasta novela in the 8:00 time slot now to build up it audience.

They want it strong enough that if they do put CS at 9:00 some people will stay and continue to watch that novela. I guess we will see next week what new novela promos they will be showing it's just my guess.

Many of you have asked me to become a full time recapper i sincerely decline, i am just filling in right now when i can because i get so much enjoyment from watching and comment about this novela.

Some of you have requested that i name myself or take a moniker, once again i request those of you to respect my choice and my wishes.

I made a comment on Monday on the Sorti page because with the new schedule changes a lot of us are upset with the novelas being changed at 7:00 and 8:00 and the inconvenience of it.

Someone made a suggestion that they should move ENDA instead to 3:00 where Gancho is being moved. I took exception to this comment and told that individual i would never speaking for myself suggest if it was ENDA instead of Gancho to move that one instead.

There was a website given to lend your support to the Gancho watchers. My comment included that was not the right way to only that individual to garner support for their cause. It kind of pissed me off and i was completely honest about how i felt after it was made.

Another person came to defend that person and made this comment that why do i hide behind anonymous. I was accusing someone of being selfish and boorish on their blog when i don't even watch or go on the Gancho blog.

I gave them a swift and to the point response to his attack on my choice to remain anonymous.

As`Shakespeare once said A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

To translate what matters is what something is, an not what it is called.

If i offended any Gancho recappers or watchers by comments on Monday's Sorti page that was my not my intent, my words were meant for only two individuals. At the same time i do not understand some people's need and necessity to know some one else's name.

I'm not here to fight or get into arguments with anyone but to enjoy the little community that Melinama has provided for us.So please whether you have a name or are anonymous like myself lets try to get along.

I am upset with the new schedule as you Gancho watchers too. The only thing i can suggest to anyone who watches that novela is go to youtube or google it and see if there's a website where you can watch it at a time convenient for you.
 

Thanks Anonymous for the recap. It is so helpful for those viewers who struggle with Spanish (or the loud music!) and for those of us who miss the show.

Hopefully faithful ENDA viewers will be able to catch the show at the earlier hour. Some of our Gancho viewers don't have internet access and don't have videorecorders, so they really are out of luck, but we will try to keep them up with the story with our recaps.

Thanks for all you do, Anonymous. We once had a faithful Juan Querendon viewer and commenter who was Anonymous #1. May we call you Anonymous #2? Well, at any rate, muchas gracias.
 

TM....If you click on the ENDA recaps on the sidebar, it will take you to all the old recaps. You click on each one, read it, then continue.

You might also find a synopsis of the show on Wikipedia. Sometimes this contains "spoilers" but given how far along the show is, this may not be a problem.

Glad you can join us. Your Spanish will come back by leaps and bounds as you continue to watch. If you have closed captions on your TV, seeing the Spanish written out (although sometimes it's a bit crazy) helps as well.
 

Anon, as always, thank you for the great Friday recap. I especially loved the: "Carloca is pouring favorite beverage grape wine to keep her continuously purple." Priceless.

I admit to being a bit frustrated with Paloma in this episode, or maybe it's the writers. She is suddenly making excuses about la Loca's behavior, questioning others suspicions, and yet not long ago she was getting light bulb moments making her suspect her as a lying cheat herself. I realize it may be hard to believe she would actually Kill someone, but she was showing more anger with Rufi than La Loca.Come on girl, move away from the purple light!

So the minute Mopey walks into the room, Paloma goes all mopey too. Please give this guy something else to do besides utter a few "poor me" words and mope.

Loving how Eugenio fooled our evil purple witch. She is so full of herself she thinks a simple kiss on the hand means he's entranced with her.Boy, will she be in for a rude awakening. César Évora is perfect in this role. Like seeing him be a good guy but using those same sly looks and presence that also made him a dangerous adversary. Methinks Carlota has met her match.

I know Romena is warming up to the baby and finally saw her father for the snake he is, but I still don't like her. It will always be "me, me, me" and trying to get her own way. I'm not sure redemption is totally in her future. If it is, it's a long way off.

Didn't like this trial, but seeing Carlota on the stand may prove fun. I'm sure she will attempt to lie her way out of this as always.

Anon #2: I can respect your desire to not create a moniker. A lot of people so choose to do so. One commenter does not speak for everyone. This move by Univision has justifiably caused major frustration for a lot of fans, and it comes out in some people's comments. We greatly appreciate your filling in on Fridays with ENDA, don't know what we do without you!!
daisynjay
 

JudyB thank you and i don't mind at all being called Anonymous #2.

Daisynjay thank you also while i know one or two out of line commenter do not speak for everyone. I just wanted to apologize to the Gancho watchers if i upset any of them with my comment i used addressing thos two individuals.

I am sorry to hear that some people don't internet access or videorecorders to record their favorite novela.

Maybe there is a possibility that they would move Gancho back once Sorti ends, but i don't know if that has ever been done.
 

Thanks you so much for your recap Anon. I really appreciate your work and respect your decision to remain anonymous. I also am sorry you felt attacked by others comments. I can only echo daisynjay's words that this time change has upset a lot of people.

Question - when did Inez marry her secret admirer?

TM - Welcome. I can tell you that Chris was about to leave to priesthood and marry Mac. However, La Loca killed her (by pushing through the window). Unfortunately, I can't tell you what episodes these events occurred. Mac never told anyone what La Loca did nor Chris and Pal that they were father and daughter. The only people who know this fact are the crazy one and Rufi.
 

Karen i'm not sure when they got married but Inez called Juancho mi mardio which means my husband to Diana. I hope that helps.

Macarena was killed around when it was a little over sixty episodes.

Just when we have hope with Paloma putting 2+2 she gets 9, you would think that since is a painter she would have learn how to connect the dots.

Since she is a lousy painter maybe we shouldn't hope to much with her deductive prowess. It's possible that she's in denial like Rufi is when Alonso asked her that one time
at the meeting for Paloma's inheritance is Carloca capable of killing.
 

Thanks Anon regarding Inez. I guess they were married off screen b/c I don't remember seeing (or reading a recap about) their wedding.
 

Inez is not married yet. She said he "is going to be my husband". I hope they do show it. I'm happy for her.

An Anonymous Too.
 

Many thanks, Anonymous Numero Dos, for these wonderfully detailed recaps.

There are a few points I'd like to add. Forgive me if you made them and I somehow missed seeing them. One point is that in his conversation with Gabriel, I think Eugenio says something about having known Cristóbal's mother many years ago, but he didn't know she had a son. In fact, he adds, even Cristóbal just found out about her very recently. Another point: at the trial, Natalia says that the group of four were investigating Paloma's inheritance from Javier and Sagrario. And point #3, I think that Camilla said not just that Orlando wanted a traditional wedding but that he was a traditional guy who believed that a woman's place is in the home (hogar). I was amazed that she said that, and that she was planning to marry him anyway, since she doesn't seem to me to be the sort of woman who wants that kind of life. So perhaps that too will play a role in her finally breaking off with Orlando (I don't know that she'll do this, but I think and hope she will).

My Spanish is very weak, so I may have gotten some of the above all wrong. If so, I hope someone will correct me.
 

Anon 119 i wasn't sure if she was saying she was married but i did hear her call Juancho my husband thanks for clearing it up for me. The music sometimes drown out parts of the conversation.

Juanita thank you also that scene was definitely hard for me to translate the music was so loud at one point i couldn't hear anything except Eugenio saying many years.

I do enjoy watching Cesar Evora and his deep voice but it is not a good combination with music over drowning it.

I don't see Camila going through with the wedding either, she still has lingering feelings for Rafael and once she finds out about them going to Houston. I think that will make her realize that this is a mistake.
 

Anon #2 muchas gracias for yor qick and thorough recap!!!

I don't really think Orlando is really that traditional. I think he said that so she will give up her business and will have no excuse not to go to Houston with
him. I think he's sneaky enough to do this.

I just love this novela and can' wait for the weekdays to see it,
altho Pal and Emi sometimes get on my nerves.....

Anon 2, your recap was great...very informative and funny as well with your asides. You have been a Friday night lifesaver.

I hope we are able to see Ines' wedding with her hopefully made up as a beautiful elegant bride. And I think we can see that Diana will not follow Ines' advice and she will end up fleeced by Samuel. In a way I want to see that happen except the house was paid for by Rafi. She may not be able to extend that loan after all unless Rafa has already signed the house over to her.

I would love to see Carloca exposed and embarrassed in front of the townsfolk on the witness stand at the trial. But what are the chances with Germy at the helm. I hope she doesn't use the stand to turn the jurors against Chris even further and lie about a relationship between her and Chris with the incriminating photos she took when she drugged Chris. We need Eugenio to come to Chris' rescue pronto.

GinCa thanks i'm so hoping whatever Eugenio has in store for Carloca it's soon.I can't see La Loca now using those pictures she took of her and Cris when she drugged him though.

Just look at how Macarena's reputation is getting drag through the mud because it was bought up at the trial. Imagine what the towns people would say about her and those pictures.
 

Thanks, Anon, for the thorough recap. I was one of the ones hoping you'd come up with an alias, but I totally respect your decision not to do so.

Diana isn't planning to sell her house. I believe what she's doing is putting up the escrituras (deed) as collateral for Samuel's supposed business venture. Perhaps there really is one because, as I understand what he manipulated her into doing, he doesn't get actual money from her but gets to participate in some business because he has collateral. He also told her he had a departamento de lujo in Mexico City where they'd go to live in two months after his deal went through. Of course, he has no apartment since he was mooching off an acquaintance in DF.

I don't think the nurse called Paloma a girlfriend, just a friend who helped nurture the preemie. I liked it that the nurse told her Paloma was doing it because Ro had refused to.

I'm a little concerned about Eugenio's behavior in this episode. For one thing, he seems a bit interested in Carlota, not a good thing. For another, he didn't immediately seem to catch on what a lousy lawyer Germán is. Even the prosecutor seemed surprised that Germán didn't want Carlota to testify. Since Cris testified that Carlota was the one who convinced him Mac had committed suicide, and Natalia testified that she kept Paloma's inheritance from her and may have killed Iñaki, getting her to testify would seem to help Cris and Nat. But all Germs cares about is protecting his money tree.
 

A couple more things. Eugenio embraced the judge in the courtroom. So, if he participates in the case, it could certainly work to Cris and Natalia's advantage.

Also, I've never been in a Mexican courtroom. Maybe Jarocha could help us out if she reads this. But I can't believe loud shouting after certain bits of testimony is permitted. The supporters of Cris and the haters of Cris seemed to be on opposite sides, sort of like the bride or groom's side at a wedding. And they were trying to drown each other out! Certainly, these people would be thrown out of an American courtroom pretty fast.

I meant the girlfriend not as someone he dates but some one he considers a friend i should have clarified that.


Do you remember when Eugenio was first introduced to Carloca at Paloma's exhibition he seem intrigued by her.

Now i believe he just wants to get close to her find out if she is one a liar like Cris accused her of being.Two if she is capable of murder like Natalia said Alonso speculated about her.

I look forward to their cat and mouse interaction and Eugenio when he was later talking to Gabriel about his visit with Carloca seem to be enjoying it also.
 

Loved the drinking the purple grape to stay purple and the upright moral mass murderer lines. I can't wait to see Senorita Purple testify in court. Germs may throw a few soft balls at her but that prosecutor should rip her apart and he does have those pictures (or at least we think that is what is in the envelope.

The judge hugging Eugenio - hmm that would be a conflict of interest in an American court probably but in Mexico who knows.

It is totally bizarre to me that our table dancing Inez tells SP that Macarena's reputation is being dragged through the dirt in the trial. Why! So she dated a young man before he became priest BFD. Now if the truth that she had a baby with him that might be something else for the pea brained citizens of this burg. I'm counting the days until they find out what an amoral monster SP is and who has been living among them for so long. Frankly back in the beginning I was a tad turned off by her obsessiveness toward her brother Javier. It creeped me out. She certainly does have an inflated idea about her "charms" and effect on men.

I have to admit I'm so bored with that wishy washy Camila and her dense suiters. Orlando is manipulator and it is obvious where Emiliano gets his mopey ways after a few encounters with Rafi mooning over Camil.

Looking forward to the selfish, sanctimonius Diana finding herself out on the streets after Slimey Samuel rips her off. Guess she'll have to go back to working in strip clubs again.
 

Thanks Anon for another great recap. The music in this one seems especially intrusive, frequently making it hard to understand what's being said. Frustrating!

I think (hope) that although Eugenio seems to be taken with Carlota, he's too sharp to not pick up on her lying evil nature after spending some time with her. It seemed to me that she was affected by him also, so maybe her guard will be down and she'll reveal more than she intends to. So far she's always come out on top - eventually someone has to topple her.
 

Novelera: ENDA is not putting a truthful representation of a Mexican trial, it's all very unrealistic. The minute 5:38 of this video shows a much closer representation to a trial session in México. We hace no jury and the courtrooms are different, but you are right, people are not aloud to make noise during the sessions.
 

Ups. Sorry. That comment up there was me Jarocha.
 

I did some Google research and a jury trial for this kind of crime would not be usual.

Just my 2 cents. I could be wrong.

TM
 

Help! Does anyone know when Amor Real is starting and on what station?

Many thanks!
 

Amor Real is starting today! I'm in California and it's running for two hours at 4:00 on Telefutura network. That's Ch. 66 on my TV listing, but may have a different channel number elsewhere in the country.

I've been watching novelas for about 5 years now, and Amor Real is my all-time favorite.
 

Jarocha, thanks so much for the video of a Mexican trial. It was quite interesting and very different from trials here in the US. I had heard that in Mexican law the accused is considered guilty and must be proven innocent in the trial. Of course, it is the opposite in the US.

The presumption of guilt would seem to coincide with the way the trial was shown. The accused woman was inside a cell dressed in her prison clothes. In the US, they clean them up, shave and haircut if male, and dress them in nice suits so as not to prejudice the jury with orange jail jumpsuits.

It seemed that the judge was sitting at a simple desk, outside the cell, with his back to the accused. I didn't notice a defense attorney, but not knowing anything about the novela, maybe one of the people outside the cell was her lawyer.

Again, thanks, very interesting video.
 

I thought the courtroom looked weird, but since I've been fortunate enough to never see the inside of a real Mexican court I wasn't sure. It didn't look like other telenovela trials, though.

It seems like they were going for an American-style court drama. Germán has the posing and posturing down pat, but I'm not sure he's prepared for a zingy reveal of dramatic and damning evidence at the last minute. All he really seems to know how to do is button and unbutton his jacket every time he stands or sits.

And, for sure, in an American courtroom you would be chucked out tout suite if you were disruptive.
 

Thank you Anon #2 for detailing Friday for us! And thank you all the commenters for the interesting observations and opinions. Great stuff.

The big shocker for me was that it was revealed in the trial that Rufi was part of a group investigating Carlota, and then she goes on home to make dinner instead of getting into a witness protection program or something. When Carlota finds out there’s going to be hell to pay. I felt like Rufi was sticking her head in the lion’s mouth.

I agree Novelera that it was amazing that Eugenio didn’t come back from the trial and comment on what a loser German is as a lawyer. If Eugenio has the super-dooper powers of insight that he says he has, he must’ve noticed that German was scared and had totally lost control. Since Eugenio seems to have the powers to sense that there is some molten lava underneath Carlota’s cool exterior, you’d think he also might notice that German is a very conflicted guy,
 

Novelera, thank you much for the Amor Real details. I'll be watching.
 

Tonight (Monday night) is my recap night. We’re having very heavy rain in L.A. right now and the power has already gone out twice today. Please if you don’t see my recap tomorrow morning, somebody put up a discussion link. I definitely plan on doing the recap, but I hope we have power!
 

Wow, Maggie, you must be getting hit harder than we are in the San Francisco Bay Area. It rained heavily this morning, but has now stopped. Not really hard, hard rain. I can tell this because my driveway kind of floods in that case. But it's supposed to REALLY hit here on Wednesday.

Hope your power stays on.
 

Novelera: The lawyer for the accused was the woman in the wheelchair, the blonde woman was the prosecutor. The novela "Nada Personal" showed a very thurthful representation of the Mexican legal sistem. I do not think any other novela has gotten a real image of the proceedings like this one did. In the video, the male witness was being forced to invent a story to get the woman convicted.

Jarocha
 

And just to add. The woman was freed because she was the lead of the novela.

Jarocha
 

Thanks, Jarocha. I kind of guessed that the woman on trial was the lead character. She looked very pretty.

And I did guess that that witness was lying because the accused woman kept asking him pointed questions about when they'd met. She said never; but he said he knew her. The guy was pretty sneaky looking and didn't want to look her in the eye.
 

The woman on trial worked years before on Televisa. She had some great roles there including the role of Aimée (the antagonist) on the Corazón Salvaje of 1993, with Eduardo Palomo.

Jarocha
 

Let me just say i hate the new time change curses Univision.
