Corazon Salvaje, Tuesday, March 16: Ep. 18--Lots of things going bump in the night.
Don't adjust your sets…the first half of this recap really is missing, due to a DVR snafu, so if someone will kindly fill all of us in on what happened and how this wet, steamy mess got started, I would be much obliged. Darn HOA meetings!
Out in the pouring rain, Renato tells the assembled workers to hunt down the witch Aimee…no, wait, sorry, I saw the torches and thought I was watching something else. Actually, he says she's missing and he can't find her, so he wants their help.
Juan carries Aimee in from the sea. She doesn't know what happened, but she does realize that it's late and she doesn't know how she's going to explain her absence. She starts freaking out, but Juan tells her to calm down.
Regina worries about Aimee and Rosenda comes in and tells her she shouldn't worry so much, since Aimee has been going out almost every night. Regina is only slightly surprised to hear this news and she puts Juan and Juan together and gets two.
Juan thinks this whole situation is hilarious, but Aimee tells Juan that her daddy is not going to find this so funny. No problem, as far as Juan's concerned--they'll just go back to her house and explain to daddy and maybe they'll get married this very night.
The peasants, with their torches, but no pitchforks, are still looking. Remigio thinks she might have gone back to the house, so Renato dispatches someone to check the house while the rest keep looking.
Arcadio sweats and paces. He says to himself that he'd do anything, just as Leonarda comes in. She grumpily says "Here I am."
Maria del Rosario's attendant escapes. She takes the opportunity to use her secret door to the outside, carrying her bouquet with her.
Arcadio and Leo get hot and heavy. She seems like a cross between bored and disgusted.
Maria del Rosario creeps along and finds the secret door into the house.
The guys looking for Santos see that something got dragged through the sand. Curly goes off to inform Juan that someone must have dragged Santos off.
Aimee keeps trying to use her womanly wiles to convince Juan that really, now's not the time to go talk to daddy. Lucky for her, Curly comes up just then and informs Juan that Santos disappeared. Juan is torn, but Aimee tells him to go with his friend. Juan hesitates, but Curly screams to get his attention and the two of them run off in search of Santos.
Maria del Rosario gets into the foyer of the house and then makes her way upstairs. She goes to her old room.
Regina is tossing and turning in bed when Clemencia brings her some tea. Clemencia reassures her that Aimee is probably fine. Regina is worried, though. Clemencia offers to stay with her.
Renato finds Aimee, soaking wet, and hugs her. He says he was so scared. Aimee says she's been through a lot and thought she was going to die, for realz! She says that she went out for a walk, blah, blah, blah, but she got lost this time and then the storm started and she ended up falling in a river and oh, she was so scared, but thankfully Providence sent Renato to save her. Renato says that in his manly arms nothing will happen to her. They kiss. Skank.
Maria del Rosario remembers her time with Juan de Dios and starts crying for her child.
The mute woman comes back to the cell and finds MdR missing. She sees the open doorway.
MdR takes off her veil in front of her mirror. Yeah, she could use a coat of fresh paint. Her scream wakes up Regina.
The mute woman makes her way up the stairs as Regina starts to leave her room. Clemencia didn't hear the scream, but is woken up by Regina opening the door. They both head out.
The mute woman gets into MdR's bedroom.
Regina assures Clemencia that she didn't just dream it and they head for MdR's room too.
The mute woman covers MdR's mouth so she doesn't scream again.
As Regina gets to the door, Clemencia tries to convince her no one could have been screaming from this room, since no one's lived in it for years. She hesitates as she sees the bouquet on the bed. MdR and her attendant are crouched on the other side of the bed. Clemencia approaches the gardenias and commences to freaking out. She remembers the gardenias at the tomb, too and wonders what it means. Regina asks whose room this was and proceeds deeper and deeper into the room. Clemencia says it was Maria del Rosario's room. The mute woman's eyes are bugging out as she struggles to keep her hand clamped over MdR's mouth. MdR, meanwhile is struggling to get free. Regina remembers that Maria del Rosario was the woman who died for love, but she wonders why all the mystery. Clemencia smells the gardenias and asks Regina not to make her talk about painful things. "Like your godmother says, we have to let the dead rest." She rushes Regina out of the room. MdR gets free and starts "no puede ser"-ing, very very quietly.
Back in her own bed, Regina wonders again what's the big flippin' deal about Maria del Rosario. Clemencia cries and says they should leave the past alone, things are fine there. She says that it seems like this family is condemned to "desamor" (lack of love) as if they carried a "maldición" (a curse, a malediction).
The guys tell Juan about the disappearance of Santos. Juan agrees with Curly that some guys must have banded with the sheriff to take Santos. Juan insists they'll go find him. So off they go.
Rosenda wanders the basement, thinking it's a disaster, she's lost. She can't find Arcadio's quarters. She does, however, find Maria del Rosario's. She assumes someone must live there, since there are lit candles. Several rounds of "no puede ser". Just as she leaves, the secret door slides open and the mute woman and Maria del Rosario come back in. MdR presses the big button on the floor to close the door.
Rosenda keeps wandering. She finally peeps through a crack in a door and sees Leo adjusting her stocking. Leo gives Arcadio more jewelry to keep his mouth shut. That's just wrong on so many levels. Rosenda accidentally lets the candle holder bump into the door and runs for it when Arcadio goes to see who's in the hallway. He doesn't check very far, then says that it's the mute woman "she's like a cat, she goes everywhere."
Out in the hallway, Rosenda thought bubbles that if Leo is paying Arcadio to keep his mouth shut, then he must know something that it would benefit Rosenda to know.
Juan and the gang follow the drag marks. They do some CSI and connect the drag marks to the cart wheel tracks.
Meanwhile, Santos is tied to a tree and being beaten. They want a confession that it was Juan's gang who attacked the boat. Santos says "we’re" not thieves. He says they only take what belongs to them. The price gouging guy says they're all going to pay. His men keep beating Santos.
Clemencia makes Aimee's bed. She finally admits to Regina that she is worried about Aimee's absence. Regina has a pretty good idea of where Aimee went. Just then, Aimee walks in, still sopping wet, taking ridiculously short steps in her dress that's two sleeves short of a straitjacket. The questioning begins. Clemencia wants her to dry off before she tells her story, though. Regina asks Clemencia to leave them alone because she needs to talk to Aimee. Clemencia agrees, but says she'll be out in the hallway. Regina tells Aimee that she knows what's what. She also knows her bed was empty a few nights ago. She demands to know who Aimee is meeting up with. Aimee gets belligerent and says it's none of her business and if Regina doesn't like it she can go back to the convent. Regina tries to convince her to behave herself. She reminds her about her "vow," that she swore to make Renato happy. Aimee laughs and says that Regina is just complaining because she's jealous that Renato liked her better. "You'd like to be in my place." Regina says that's true. She'd do anything to be in Aimee's place, but she knows it will never happen. Aimee just smirks and sucks in her cheeks. Bee-yotch!
Renato has a good stiff drink to soothe his good stiff…ummm, yeah, anyway. Rosenda comes in and asks if he needs anything. All he wants is to know where his mom is. He's upset that she would go to sleep knowing that he was so worried about Aimee. Rosenda covers by saying she'll go let Leo know that Aimee is back. Clemencia comes downstairs, fussing. She tells Renato that Aimee is upstairs changing and talking to Regina. Renato says he was just going to inform his mother that Aimee is home, completely safe. He heads up to Leo's room and Rosenda tries to head him off by saying that the exhaustion must have gotten to her, she's gone to sleep already and maybe he could just wait until morning to tell her the news. Renato pushes past her to open the door and sees that the bed is still made. Come on, people, every teenager knows all you've got to do is shove some pillows under the covers. At least make some effort. Renato accuses Rosenda of knowing where his mother is. He starts calling for her as she comes in from her assignation with Arcadio. So now Rosenda looks like an idiot, as Leo says of course she wasn't asleep, she was in the study, waiting for him to come home with news.
Aimee has changed into a slinky little number from the Secretos de Victoria Catalogo de 1875. What can I say, the mail system used to be a lot slower. She's even spritzing on some perfume. Regina gripes at her about being indecent and not keeping her vow. Aimee accuses her of being jealous that men look at her, but not Reggie. "I feel sorry for you, we look exactly the same, but you've never been able to get the attention of the man you're dying for. Renato wanted me and you can't stand it." And that was so blatantly gloating and mean that even Mr. 5ft didn't need a translation. Santa Regina gives her a good hearty smack. After a brief tussle, heard by Leo and Renato downstairs, Aimee smacks back.
Tomorrow: Regina is mad as hell and she's not going to take it anymore! She commences the seduction of Renato.
Out in the pouring rain, Renato tells the assembled workers to hunt down the witch Aimee…no, wait, sorry, I saw the torches and thought I was watching something else. Actually, he says she's missing and he can't find her, so he wants their help.
Juan carries Aimee in from the sea. She doesn't know what happened, but she does realize that it's late and she doesn't know how she's going to explain her absence. She starts freaking out, but Juan tells her to calm down.

Sorry about the lack of a first half! We got home from the HOA meeting tonight and discovered that the DVR wasn't taping about a half hour too late.
On a personal note, the drama with the director ended very, very badly. He wanted to badger and insult me into taking acting classes with him. I turned him down, but I keep mulling over his rude comments and wanting to have Juan del Diablo go mete out some justice. Oh well, on to the next.

Thanks Kat for the 1/2 recap. I have to give my DVR a good talking to sometimes. Sorry to hear about the director drama...
Does anyone know how mute woman found Maria I've been crying for the past 30 years Del Rosario at the house? That fake baby obviously wasn't the fix for the morose moaning. Poor mute woman, she probably wants to scream back to shut the h*ll up already!!! Or maybe she can talk and this is her way of dealing. Sorry guys I have to fast forward through those scene. GAWD!!!
On a side note...Doctorcito..kinda handsome Looks vaguely familiar.

Kat thanks for the recap it's hilarious as always. As for the director for the drama you wanted to play in, he wanted to insult you into taking acting classes with him? Did he expect you to pay him for these acting classes.
Some people and their so called motivational methods need to really get a clue, does he think he's the next John Huston to act like that?
Kat it's obvious the man recognizes your talent too bad he such a d'bag in not knowing how to ask nicely if you would like to take acting classes with him to expand your already awesome acting skills.

Thanks, Kat. Sorry the director was such a dolt. He is probably a legend in his own mind. Has he considered directing novelas ? Doctorcito was a bad guy in Duelo de Pasiones and a bad pirate [oxymoron ?] in Pasion. He also played a husband who cheated on his wife with a tennybopper neighbor in Mujer Assessinas[?]. I wonder if he'll be a good guy or a bad guy in this one. I hope that MariaR. gets to meet her great BIG baby one day. Juan has rescued every else, so maybe he'll be the juan to rescue his mamacita. Those scenes of Leo and Arc getting it on in that hovel of a room are just wrong on so many levels. bleeeeccchhh. And ...yikes...cat fight. Talk about beating up on yourself. ''Renato likes me best..nananan.'' Sibling rivalry.

OMG, Kat, you are too funny. Juan + Juan together gets to 2, MdR needs a coat of fresh paint, & the comic coup de grace was the Secretos de Victoria Catalogo de 1875. Snarkarific, m'dear! And as for the a$$ hat director, well, sometimes a hearty "bite me" is the only correct reponse.
A belated thanks to Gloria for yesterday's recap. I can always count on Team Caray for my early morning chuckles.
On to the lunacy at hand...
Looks like we have a theme of high falutin' ladies giving up the goodies to low/lower class men. Aimee has her salvaje, Leo has the prison guard/overseer & now perhaps Eloise & Mr. Clean/Dagger Man/Starfish Head will be doing the nasty (and I do mean nasty) in a cave somewhere.
Aimee is headed for karma hell. She really should be pregnant by now & that would raise all kinds of plot snarls (like we need more with this mess).
Rod is Daddy Dearest. What a tool. And Leo deserves a nice case of clap from her cellar sexcapades.
Rosenda a candidate for redemption at some point? Will she ultimately get Renato?
Why does Noel always talk in a scratchy whisper?
Oof, my head hurts.

Thanks for the recap, Kat; we always have a number of satellite outages this time of year, due to spring storms, and I come back to find the TiVo merrily copying some film off the movie channels. It's a challenge!
I have to say that I was kind of surprised that Aimee didn't implicate some hapless fisherman or villager in the tale of her disappearance last night. It would have been just like her to get someone in trouble for that.
"Dr. Pablo Miranda" is played by Alejandro Ávila -- whose role as Bernarda's nemesis, "Román Guillen," in La Otra is the one that always comes to my mind when I see him.
He's a tall, handsome devil and makes a complex villain, because he's rather sympathetic.

Does anyone know what Regina asked her father at the beginning of the episode and what his reply was? I am not fluent in Spanish and I am at a loss.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks Kat. Gosh, you missed the terrible storm part where Juan bravely steers the boat through the storm even though the boat is still anchored off the beach and the sails are limp. It was truly a wonder of nature.
So sorry to hear about the jerk of a director. Que cabeza de piña y jicama, cara de estampilla, posolero, viejo con olor de manteca, y marrano maicero! I hope you told him mandar para freir los esaprragos. (Insults courtesy of JudyB's recap.)

Anon 08:48:00 AM, if you mean the scene where Rodrigo was leaving the room after browbeating Regina, she asked him if he really loved her.
She said she understands she's his daughter -- but does he actually love her? Poor girl.
She said she understands she's his daughter -- but does he actually love her? Poor girl.
Oh, yeah, and he didn't answer her; he just gave her a very sneering, nasty grin.
As Noel said earlier, Rodrigo is making Regina pay for the so-called sins of Rosario -- who wanted to marry the man she loved -- and not Rodrigo, who loved her.

Thank you so much, Jeri, for explaining what transpired between Rodrigo and Regina and for Noel's comment. Since this thing began I couldn't understand why the difference in attitudes for the two girls.

Kat: (Home study day for me --once the UPS man arrives with the goods.)
Excellent snark. "Renato has a good stiff drink to soothe his good stiff…" LOL! Loved the whole last paragraph! It was hilarious!
========
Don't know nuthin' 'bout acting, but ITA with the others' comments. Whatever the male equivalent is for prima dona, I'd say, that your director is it. If there isn't a word for that, there oughta be.
======
Anyone else see Eloisa eventually gettin' her weird on with star-scarred Dagger Man eventually?

Jardinera, most definitely about Eloisa! My late comment to Monday's post suggested that her reluctance to tell hubby about the intruder was because he might be hoping for an encore plus more.
Kat: There wasn't much in the first half except the front man off the ship Juan and amigo's attacked going to the head cop and complaining about the attack. They figure it was the fishermen and Head Cop tells Front Man they don't have any proof to arrest the fishermen, but if he wants a little payback Head Cop will play deaf and dumb. So the Front Man and his gang go back to spy on the partying fishermen. Front Man says he remembers one of the masked guys had a build like Santos. After a minute of watching them he says he's pretty sure it was Santos. They decide to jump Santos when he's off alone doing something by himself later that night. They beat Santos to a pulp and drag him off to their camp.
Aimee snuck out of the house again and Juan surprises her with a trip on the Luzbel for just the two of them. They get it on and then the torrential rains hit. He has her keep steering while he tries to adjust things. Suddenly she falls overboard and he jumps in after her. The next thing we see is the boat nicely anchored off shore and him dragging/carrying her to shore. The rain is over and she's bitching about her wrecked dress and how she's going to explain things once she gets home.
Santos eventually laughs in Front Man's face while tied up at the camp and admits they were only taking back what rightfully belonged to them.
Hope that helps as filler.

Cap'n Sylvia: Guess we're on the same wave length, then, amiga! (Dummy me, I didn't realize that it even was Eloisa till the next show. Got to get my specs cleaned.) ; > )
Anonymous 09:30:00 AM, you're welcome. Aimee has always been dad's pet, because she plays up to him; and it doesn't help at all that Regina is meek and pale, like Rosario, IMO.
Now Regina's drawn a fatal parallel with Rosario as far as Rodrigo is concerned and is willing to go the limit to marry the man she loves -- or no one. Rodrigo just hates it.

Black Heart, it just shows you how these TNs mess with your mind. In any semblance of reality Eloisa's experience with the intruder would be horrifying, but in TNlandia my first thought was "oh yeah, she totally wants some of that." I've definitely gone over to the dark side.
Jeri, thanks again for the insights. It had not occurred to me that Leonarda's trysts could have produced Renato but when I think back on the relationship that could very well be. They actually seem much more intimate than Leonarda and Noel.
Quite frankly I am enjoying the show!

Thanks, Kat! Priceless recap. As for the director, he's too cocky anyways. You have a bright future with or without him.
Mad bess:
"Doctorcito was a bad guy in Duelo de Pasiones and a bad pirate [oxymoron ?] in Pasion. He also played a husband who cheated on his wife with a tennybopper neighbor in Mujer Assessinas[?]."
And a real a**hole in (as Jeri also mentioned) La Otra and a disgusting bastard in Amigas y Rivales. I never had the chance before to realize how attractive Alejandro Ávila was.
But in CS Doctorcito is one of my favourite characters, he's in tie with Remigio, Colibrí and Gabriel.

Thanks for a terrific recap Kat! As for the director - what can I say other than the man lacks manners, brains and class.
Love all the comments today. I too, think Eloise has the hots for Dagger Man, eeewwww. I didn't realize Rodrigo was in love with MDR, how did I miss that? I guess I figured he was related & didn't think of her like that. I like Noel. He seems like a nice guy. As I recall, Leo only had "congress" with Noel once so Renato very well might not be his kid.
I'm hoping MDR will start sneaking out on a regular basis and maybe stand over Rod's bed wielding a huge candlestick. Fright Night at the Finca.

Kat, thanks for the great recap on the heels of such a crappy experience. I hate people like that director who use such tactics to make a sale. There’s a special circle in the underworld for that type.
Maggarita , I sort of like Noel’s scratchy whisper, but also wonder if it’s an issue or a device. He talked the same way in FELS. Reminds me of a nun I knew in school who got your attention by lowering her voice. Very effective.
Cap'n Sylvia Sharkbait, I also wondered what the big schmeel was about steering a boat through a storm that is still anchored off the beach. Did you notice what hard perfectly flat floors the caves have?

In the beginning last night we also had that scene of Juan going to the gypsy camp and momentarily saving Jimena. Then telling her she needs to tell Gabriel who she really is.
Yáñez has replaced annoying yelling with even more annoying cackling. I guess an attempt to cover up bad acting.
I think a lot of people are going to be upset when they discover where Maria del Rosario has been for 27 years.
Rodrigo & Juan especially.
Wonder if she has a toothbrush?

Great recap, Kat! Sorry about that Director thing.
I was amazed that the mute girl (whose name is Mirta) could go all the way through the house directly to where MDR was hiding (I know it was her old room, but MDR could have gone almost anywhere).
Great trick of Juan to get Regina out to the boat without her getting wet. I also liked how it was only raining in certain spots and on certain people.
One other thing that happened near the start was that Juan told dagger man not to mess with Jimena, that he wanted Jimena to keep telling fortunes, and that Juan would provide some money to the gypsies if Jimena didn't bring in enough. Something like that. He then advised Jimena to tell Gabe the truth, that she's Estrella. Jimena said she couldn't do it, though.

Thanks, Kat, for the recap. 1/2 of your recap is better than most whole recaps, anyday. I am so sorry about the Director. He behaved really badly, how awful that he was rude as well! Shall we call Juan or one of the Mujeres Asesinas? We know those girls can get the job done.
Loved the comments today. I want MDR to be found and redeemed, please?

As Kat rushed into the comforting walls of her ancestral home, her eyes flashed fire from a thousand burning suns, her bosom heaved tempestously, and her raven curls flew about her angry face. "Who does that perro of a director think he is, anyway," she snarled. "Once Juan, Remigio, and Curly settle his hash, he won't even remember his name, let alone mine"
"Now, darlin', take it easy," murmured Mr. 5 ft., gently stroking her smooth shoulders. "Let's just put him to the virtual pillory on that blog you love so much. He'll never work in this town again."
Kat, you know we'll stand with you. Great recap, especially after the nasty director and the failed VCR.
"Puts Juan and Juan together and gets two" hee!
Leonora and Arcadio are confusing me. They're also making me want to vomit, but that's another matter. Leonara loves Rodrigo, always has, probably always will. However, she has regular booty calls with Arcadio. I know he looks sorta like Johnny Cash and she's a little like June Carter, but WHY?? Is it blackmail because he knows she imprisioned Maria del Rosario? Or is she addicted to Arcadio's brand of sex?
If she's paying off with jewels, why the sexual payoff as well? Oy, my head, my eyes! They hurt!
La Paloma

LOL!! I agree - love the comparisons to Johnny Cash and June Carter! At first I thought it was his brand of sex as well as the payoff, but she hasn't been looking too happy about it the last few times.
I think Arcadio has always been in love with Leonarda in his own, disgusting way. He's not satisfied with just hush money and hush jewelry; he wants her, too. He made that clear on many occasions.
I was just thinking last night that if Leonarda keeps giving away all the family fortune to Arcadio, there won't be much left in her bank account to inherit when they inevitably learn at the end that Juan is the eldest heir.
Arcadio must have a pretty good stash after almost 30 years of that. He certainly doesn't use it on haircuts and clothes and grooming articles.
Leonarda, Rosario, Regina and Aimee all have secret loves in common.

A few more things from the first part of last night's ep, which may come up again in the future:
After the doctor leaves Regina's bedside, Noel asks the young doctor Miranda about the elder doctor Miranda, who turns out to have been his uncle. And so the story about old Dr. Miranda's "accident" so long ago is brought up -- on the night he delivered Juan from Rosario. Rodrigo coming down the stairs gets into an argument with Noel about how suspicious it was. Noel doesn't think it's an accident, and Rodrigo tries to brush it off as one. This discussion is overheard by Renato, who once again, is curious about all the strange stuff that's gone on in his family that he has no idea about.
Later when Aimee and Juan go aboard ship and the tempest raises, Juan directs her to hold the wheel steady while he tends to something else; but they show Aimee to be screaming, hysterical and totally useless. She can't even hold the wheel. And then she lets herself pitch overboard! I got the impression that this scene demonstrates the idea that although Aimee appears bold, she is the weak one of the twins; and that this will come up again, where Regina is shown having true strength.
Back at the finca, where all the men have been turned out in a frantic search for Aimee during the storm, Rosenda calmly enters the twins' bedroom and announces to Regina and Clemencia that there's no reason for hysteria, since Aimee goes prowling outside every night! So Regina finds out this way that Aimee is not keeping her promise and is still seeing Juan. It sets up her righteous anger nicely to foreshadow the stand she's going to take with declaring her love to Renato in the next episode, according to the previews.

Jeri, excellent point about the Dr. Miranda discussion. Rod was in a right snit during the conversation so most certainly it has Future Meaning. (Musica de suspenso.)
Beth, ah the nice flat cave floors. Maybe that explains why the peasant's white outfits are rarely dirty.

Wow...after a looong day at work, I've enjoyed reading all the clever comments. Here's something positive to take away from this novela : No matter how your badly your day [or life] is going, feel comforted by this one fact ...You do not have to do the bunny hop with Arcadio. That will be my new mantra whenever my day is going downhill. I am filing this bit optimism under the heading ''Things could be MUCHO worse.''

p.s. I got a big giggle out of all the noche scurrying around by MdR, Mirta [hot on her crazy trail], Reggie, and Clemencie...up the stairs...down the hall. It reminded me of The Haunted Mansion at Disney World. Watching Crazy M and Silent M lying next to the bed hiding from Clem and Reg gave me more giggles. Si si, I am easily amused.
